I need to do CPR.
(Previously)
So I was going to administer CPR...
Talk to me.
What does Cheomseongdae have to do with this?
Shouldn't you forget about Cheomseongdae...
and try to collect more Joseon Tongbo coins?
Where is the last one?
Do you have a crush on her?
Soon, they'll find out who we are too.
In other words, a new game has begun.
Does Jang Chun Fung currently lead the triad?
Why are you starting?
Sorry.
How about we get going?
Let's play some more.
- We won too much. - Sorry?
Your game skills are crazy!
My name is Jang Chun Fung.
You don't need to know, pervert.
I love it!
Password!
Six, seven...
There's no way of knowing what the dangers are.
How it goes from there solely depends on Skunk's abilities.
Stop! Turn around and look ahead.
We must've touched something.
The laser patterns have changed.
They're moving even faster now.
This is... It's impossible.
(Episode 7)
Darn it. What is this?
Darn it!
- Hey. - Come on. Hurry!
The triad boys are coming. Get ready.
Oh, no.
If the triad gets here,
both the Joseon Tongbo and Skunk won't be safe.
Jang Chun Fung will wake up soon too.
What did we touch?
What is it? What are you doing?
Take this first.
Let's go.
Officer Shin.
Take this and get out of here. I'll leave with Skunk.
No. Then I'll stay, so you...
Officer Shin.
Gosh.
Jang Chun Fung has to be able to enter and leave this room,
so there must be a switch somewhere here too, just like the entrance.
Wait! Look around you.
- I found it. - Where?
On the floor, to your left. That's it.
But we don't know the password.
Try punching in the password for the entrance.
It's another number pad.
Numbers?
Numbers...
What is it, Min Woo?
- That's right, numbers. - What do you mean?
Earlier, when Jang Chun Fung was telling me the password,
he listed eight numbers at first.
Then that must be it.
But the thing is...
I thought he was just making it up, so I don't remember them now.
You guys, take the stairs. You, go to the West Lobby.
I'll go to Boss' room. Go!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Gosh.
Eight?
- Go! - Hurry!
Three, six, eight,
one, four, four?
Eight.
No! It's seven.
Nice!
Well done, Min Woo.
Seriously, good job!
I did a good job, right?
Had you told us earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through this.
The sun will rise at this rate. Hurry up and get out of there.
- Darn it. - It's dangerous. Stay inside.
Don't get the wrong idea.
You don't need to protect me.
They can't surround us here. This looks like a good spot.
Move!
Some are coming up the stairs now.
There are many of them. You'd better run!
Right now, our priority is getting out of here unscathed.
What?
Oh, this is nothing.
It's just...
It's not deep.
This will stop the bleeding.
I'm not trying to protect you.
I'm doing this because we're a team.
I can finish the rest.
They're in front of the elevator on the first floor.
Gosh.
Please excuse me.
- What's that? - Oh, what's that over there?
- Oh, my. - What is that?
Get them!
- What? - Darn it.
Hey!
Min Woo! Get in!
Hurry!
Nice!
Chang Hoon, what's going on?
It's game over, isn't it?
Okay!
Take the route we talked about. Hurry.
Yes, sir!
Where's Senior Officer Shin?
The plans have changed.
What?
You were really cool today.
Anyway, well done. You did a great job.
We had a good strategy.
And great teamwork.
Right.
- I'm off. - Get back safely.
Darn it.
Drive properly, will you?
Hey.
Had I known you took it,
I would've spared the boys who took the stairs.
What is it, Chang Hoon? What's going on?
My, who knew I'd meet Viper here?
- Get out of there, Chang Hoon. Run! - What's wrong?
Captain Jang, Chang Hoon is with Viper.
- Where is it? - I sent you his location.
He's ten minutes away.
It's by the beach.
Skunk!
(Agent has deactivated the suit.)
Officer Shin, listen up.
Nothing is more valuable than your life,
so hand him the Joseon Tongbo and run.
The phone is turned off.
Seriously?
(Joseon Tongbo)
Chang Hoon!
- Hey! - Officer Shin!
Chang Hoon!
Chang Hoon...
Chang Hoon.
- Call an ambulance. - Right.
Chang Hoon...
- Thank you. - Sure.
What the...
Why are you outside?
What is it? Was the club disappointing?
It maxed out.
What?
You must've treated yourself.
You see,
I wanted to know how much was left on it,
so I bought a beverage worth one thousand won...
at the convenience store.
But the card was already maxed out.
This was your way of messing with me.
You're being ridiculous.
Hand me the receipts. I'll wire the money next month.
Forget it.
You'll get ready for the meeting tomorrow.
Bring it to me for confirmation when you're done.
- For confirmation? - If you don't,
I'll report you to our boss, his boss, and even the director.
Report what?
That you haven't been doing any work here.
Actually, I'll tell them...
how you don't do any work at the office as well.
But what I've been doing is extremely important.
That darn brat!
(You have received a message.)
Where are you off to?
Well, something urgent came up.
Where's the material for the meeting?
- What? - You didn't do the work.
I'm almost done, so could you do the rest?
- What? - Here's the key to my room.
All documents and materials are in a flash drive.
- Get it done for me. - But Mr. Hwang!
I was just about to get it done myself.
Why you...
(Invigorating Tourism in Jeju and Preserving Cultural Assets)
He actually did the work.
What the...
Where did he put all the materials?
What's this?
Ae Ri.
Ae Ri, please calm down and hear me out.
Gosh, no.
I didn't see anything.
See what?
These.
I saw them,
but I don't mind.
Don't mind what?
Well...
Cosplaying...
or BDSM...
What?
In modern society, we are allowed to have...
our own perspective on sex.
We have the freedom to do so,
- so pretend I didn't see it. - Ae Ri, you're wrong.
Don't come near me!
Ae Ri, it's not what you think.
Hear me out, will you? You're talking nonsense.
Ae Ri.
Are you kidding me?
- Yes? - Are you on your way?
No, not yet. I forgot my suit.
I have a spare, so get over here.
Don't you know this is an emergency?
The situation I'm in seems to be worse.
Get here this instant.
Got it.
Unbelievable.
Jung Kyun.
- Jung Kyun, get over here. - Don't worry too much.
Sure. I'll call you back.
You've been discharged already?
They patched me up, and I was good to go.
- But still... - Did you find him?
(Emergency Room)
I'm sorry. I ruined our plan.
It's not your fault, so don't beat yourself up.
But...
how did Viper know about our plan...
and also my escape route?
(Joseon Tongbo)
Goodness. It's been so long.
Cho Huin Dal.
The years of dirty work have not been kind on you.
I almost didn't recognize you.
I don't remember us being on good terms.
Am I wrong?
How could we be on good terms...
when we used to be rivals?
Then before our conversation digs up past memories,
let's finalize this deal.
Did you bring it?
Hold on.
Are you saying we've been played by that geezer Doctor Ko?
How could we have lost not one, but two coins?
Ever since I first saw him,
I sensed something about him was very off.
This is insane.
(Joseon Tongbo)
Where's yours?
(Joseon Tongbo)
Do they know...
I dispatched the triad,
and that's the only reason why their plan worked?
They'll find out soon enough.
I'm curious.
I wouldn't have known of this if not for you.
Why did you...
call me and set this up?
You must know I could end it...
by killing you right here.
If you'd wanted to,
you'd have killed me before asking questions.
Can I tell you...
what it is I want?
You're back? Hey.
Chang Hoon, are you okay?
I'm fine. It's nothing.
We almost had it in the bag.
Will this leave a scar?
We should go after them right away.
Why did you call me here?
Because we don't have to go right away.
What?
Follow me.
Follow her.
Let's go.
The punks are right here.
What?
What's going on, Captain?
First of all, I'm really sorry to keep you all in the dark.
Doctor Ko's too quick-witted. I had to keep it a secret...
in case things went belly-up.
I'm especially sorry to Chang Hoon.
I really had no idea...
he'd call Viper and bring him in.
Wait.
Are you saying you knew Doctor Ko would take our coin?
To be honest, I thought...
if we brought the stolen coin here,
he'd take both of them then.
Whatever happened, let's go over there now.
We don't have to go now.
What?
When all the Joseon Tongbo coins are in one place,
we can go get them then.
How do you know if they're all in one place?
Right now, they only have one.
Just one?
If you're right, Captain, they must have Doctor Ko's coin,
and the one Viper took.
That should be at least two.
The real one's...
right here.
(Joseon Tongbo)
What...
From the very start, I never trusted the guy.
At the most important moment,
he could stab us in the back, which he did.
Do you see the hole in it?
Without Ms. Lee's help,
this plan would've been impossible.
We had to create a perfect replica in a short time.
It had to feel the same, have the same mass and weight,
react to a chemical reagent, and smell the same.
Basically, we needed it to pass the test.
Of course, the location of the hole which could be a crucial feature...
was changed ever so slightly so the coin...
can't actually be used.
Our replica contains a state-of-the-art tracker...
and I can locate it anywhere in the world...
to within just ten meters.
I even added another feature free of charge.
I wanted a sign if it detected more metal pieces...
of a similar size nearby,
and our great Ms. Lee here bestowed us...
with a perfect gift.
In this game,
it doesn't matter if you have one, five, or six.
You can never win...
unless you have all seven.
So Doctor Ko told us about Jang Chun Fung...
because he wanted us to do what he couldn't,
and he was planning to betray us when he had both coins.
It's possible he got arrested on purpose in the first place.
Let me summarize.
Whether Doctor Ko takes them and sells them,
or sides with them to broker a deal,
we needed him to make a move...
in order to get all seven coins in one place.
And you hoped that would happen.
Correct.
Even if this were to fail,
we still have one of the real coins.
We could always try again later.
I just realized...
Captain Jang has a huge brain.
Oh, no.
Doctor Ko did exactly as you wanted.
You have a great hunch.
- Right? Isn't he great? - He is.
That's why our captain's nicknamed...
- "hunchback." - "Hunchback?"
His hunch always pays back.
Wait.
Do cops call themselves by that derogatory term?
Darn you.
Suddenly you're hurting?
According to this hunchback's hunch,
that coin will leave Jeju Island to join Kim Young Soo's collection.
That means seven, no, six will be in one place.
We take the first available flight back to Seoul...
and prepare for that. Okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
Mr. Hwang.
Yes? What?
I couldn't get us seats in the same row, so we're far apart.
It can't be helped.
Thanks.
Is this good or bad?
You'll have heard about the triad commotion...
that happened last night at a hotel in Jeju City.
The hotel's camera server was hacked,
and police were stumped as they had no leads to work with.
A witness sent in a video they'd taken at the scene,
so we'll play it for you now.
This was taken by a civilian from the cafe on the hotel terrace.
A strange man in a black suit and mask...
uses a rope to slide down from the first floor with a woman.
We don't yet know his connection with the triad incident,
but witnesses say...
he was being attacked by triad members.
Look at him right here.
The mask looks very similar to the one described by...
the Hwatong Construction...
treasure scandal suspects who had turned themselves in.
Reporter Kim Yu Jin has the story.
No, you're mistaken.
Hey, Ae Ri.
- Don't. - Please help...
Come here.
Be quiet.
Calm down and listen to me.
It's very important and it involves our nation's security and safety.
The thing you saw is that thing on TV.
And that was me.
Hey, I'm not a monster or suspect.
I'm a secret agent working for the government.
Choi Song Chul's Jikji Volume One,
the Flower and Crane vase,
Hwatong Construction's scandal.
They were all my cases, right?
Will you give me a chance to explain?
And then you can do whatever you want.
So you are...
a government-designated...
secret agent sent to recover illegally concealed treasures?
The moment my cover is blown,
everything I accomplished until now,
and everything I must do will crumble.
Can you...
keep my secret?
I'll be honest.
I was going to tell you my secret anyway.
Why?
I'd realized it was...
just too hard to do on my own.
I need a partner too.
A partner?
I also realized that...
only you can fill that position.
Why me?
The projects you proposed that got shot down.
A revised bill for the recovery of concealed treasures.
A forced recovery of our treasures that were stolen.
I saw your work...
and felt your stance on those issues...
is identical to mine.
Jin Ae Ri.
Will you join us...
on our great mission?
Our country and people...
need you right now.
What do you need me to do?
If you decide to join us, I'll give you instructions soon.
I won't put you in any danger, so don't worry.
What?
Can we trust her?
We have no choice.
Why did you go and make things so complicated?
I know.
Why won't we...
eliminate her?
What?
Just joking.
It didn't sound like a joke. You sounded sincere.
Ms. Lee, can I have your card?
What card?
Your credit card.
What for?
Well, we'll find tons of treasures.
So we should get ready.
Get ready? How?
We should concoct the preservative.
For 150,000 artifacts...
The ingredients alone will cost a lot.
What's wrong?
Oh, it's nothing.
Okay, take my card. Yes.
- Here. - Nice.
But I can't do it at my place because it's way too small.
I should just do it here.
No!
Hold on.
Are you being like this because you don't like the smell?
No. I love it. I love the smell.
It's a great idea, but I have a lot to prepare too.
Oh, how about I buy you a house? A big one.
Forget it.
Wait. Which neighborhood?
(Joseon Tongbo)
I knew I'd get my hands on it!
Until the fated moment,
I will guard this with my life!
Please don't worry. I will...
Hey! I heard you spared a witness.
A cop at that.
You acting up...
will only make them notice and suspect you.
Until I give you orders,
lie low.
You're making mistakes often, which is so unlike you.
Are you losing your touch?
I apologize, sir.
You'd better not be an inept brother who repeats his mistakes...
because it'll put your sister in jeopardy.
Your sister, Yuki,
may seem healthy,
but from the Japanese doctors to the new drugs,
it's been costing me a fortune to keep her alive. You know that.
I promise I won't make the same mistake again.
Is that so?
Sir.
About...
Hwa Yeon's birthday...
Your birthday gift...
has been delivered to her safe and sound.
But of course, Yuki thinks that I sent it.
She wants to make a video call soon...
to thank me.
You can see her then.
Now, get out.
The thing I asked you to take care of.
Get ready now.
Yes, sir.
Shall I get ready for your trip to Gyeongju too?
No.
We shouldn't rush it.
Now,
we should wait for the right moment.
(Joseon Tongbo)
After a long, arduous journey,
you've finally found your rightful owner.
We're...
almost there.
We really are almost there.
Up until now, he made you do all the work.
But now that he has found all the coins,
he won't even let you touch them.
This means we should change our plans.
If he can't do anything with the Joseon Tongbo coins alone,
we should just wait for our chance.
When the important moment comes,
he'll need me.
Well...
Do you know where he's keeping the coins?
The storage, probably.
"The storage?" You mean, at the training facility?
Then the Cultural Heritage Team...
could be after that place too.
That's good.
What do you mean?
If we want to find the treasures,
we'd have to get rid of them too.
If they go in there,
they'll all die.
What about the thing I asked for?
Oh, right.
Cho Jin Man.
He retired as an artifact thief years ago.
He's a has-been who's enjoying his quiet life after retirement.
Why? Do you know this man?
I know him very well.
He's the one who taught me.
The moment is approaching. At this critical time,
why are you looking for this man?
Because it's time...
I started afresh.
- Get out. - Where are you going?
Sorry.
All right, then.
(Name unknown, goes by Doctor Ko)
Well...
I don't know about other things, but I want to thank you...
for saving Yeon Ji and Yeon Seok.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
But the convent where they're staying.
Did you know that place before?
No.
I found it by chance while on the run.
It's nice to meet you, Min Woo.
Let's get along and have fun.
You'll be much more comfortable here than at the shelter.
I don't want to be a nun though.
This is a children's home...
run by the convent,
so you can do whatever you want.
If you're not happy here, you can tell me anytime.
But who sent me here?
That I can't tell you.
That person asked me to keep it a secret.
They said to just tell you...
it's someone who cherishes and loves you.
Someone who cherishes and loves me?
My late grandmother is the only one I can think of.
No, that's not true.
The money you will need...
to live freely as an adult...
and that for your education...
as well as other things...
has already been paid by this person.
(Doctor Ko, approximately 60 years of age)
Captain,
why are you here?
Aren't they beautiful?
Chang Hoon.
("Diary of the Eulmi Year")
The Joseon Tongbo coins we are searching for...
are the major keys that could lead us...
to over 150,000 cultural assets.
If we fail to collect all of them,
Kim Young Soo will do so instead.
Then over 150,000 cultural assets will be stolen from us again.
Kim Young Soo is already in possession...
of countless stolen cultural assets.
Most of them...
were either illegally dug up by him...
while he served in a powerful government position...
or were inherited from his family...
that served Japan during the Japanese colonial era.
These rats.
Yes, this is Jang Tae In.
He still hasn't collected it?
Sure. I'll look into it.
Gosh, hello.
It's been a while.
Goodness.
Sir.
Hello.
My gosh.
He drifted off after taking his medicine.
You can greet him when he wakes up.
Sure. Thank you.
This is ox tail and ribs.
You should enjoy that together.
There's no need to bring things every time you visit.
By the way,
it's about the state seal of Joseon you donated.
You still haven't collected the reward.
- Forget it. - Sorry?
I won't take it.
The state seal belongs to the state.
What my grandfather hid from Japanese soldiers...
was just recently found by my father.
We only returned it to its rightful place.
But...
These days,
people have been speaking...
of descendants of patriots...
as ignorant rats who feed on taxpayers.
That's utter nonsense!
Those are the words of thoughtless fools,
so don't let it get to you.
Well,
it's true.
It was our ancestors who fought for our country,
not us.
So spending...
the collected tax on people like us...
could seem like a waste.
Your grandfather...
When your grandfather...
was dragged away by pro-Japanese traitors...
and was executed at the plaza,
your father was only nine.
The pro-Japanese traitors...
who stole all his assets...
The children of those traitors...
live in luxury having erected buildings for themselves.
Since the country can't retrieve all that was stolen,
it should take care of the descendants...
of those people who fought to give us a country.
You don't have to feel guilty.
Do you know who should feel guilty?
We're the ones who should be ashamed...
for not being able to do more for you.
(The Residence of a Patriot)
It's currently passing through Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province.
Is it with all the other six coins?
We should call Skunk. I'll contact Mr. Hwang.
No, don't. It's too far away to reach.
He's right. When it finally stops moving,
we'll come up with a plan and carefully execute it.
Secretly and quietly.
There.
I have connection.
Connection to what?
- The satellite. - I'm sorry, sir.
- What? - What?
Goodness. My babies.
(Joseon Tongbo)
Gosh, I'm impressed.
The museum director and the governor both signed off on it?
Yes.
How long has this been in the works?
Well,
I've been working on it little by little.
Anyway, good job.
- You too, Ae Ri. - Gosh, no way.
I only did as ordered by Mr. Hwang.
I see.
Let me see. Where is my...
- Ae Ri. - Yes, Mr. Hwang!
(Hwang Dae Myeong)
Do you have an order for me?
What...
What?
Where are the notes from the Jeju meeting?
Here you go, sir.
Make copies and hand them out to the others.
Report to the director as well.
Got it, sir.
I'll drop by Yeonhwa Temple and head home.
Get off work on time, okay?
Sure thing, sir.
We should talk.
Sure thing...
- You really can't be like this. - Like what?
You have turned into a completely different person.
- Is that so? - Take me, for instance.
Am I not my usual self?
- You are. - You should be yourself as well.
The life of a secret agent isn't easy, you know.
I see. Of course.
I get it, sir.
Seriously?
But what am I usually like?
You're a brat with anger management issues...
who talks back to her supervisors.
What?
Nice.
Keep that up, okay?
It's not like this is the first time!
Like this?
Nicely done.
I'll get going, then.
Is this right though?
I guess it is.
The GPS tracker we planted on the fake coin...
went offline at this location.
It's the training facility of Kim Young Soo's...
Mugunghwa Foundation which was built in the late 1970s.
It looks more like the set of a horror movie.
Yes, it does.
The foundation's authority has diminished,
and the place closed down in the 1990s.
Based on the fact that he brought the Joseon Tongbo here,
I'm pretty sure...
this is Mugunghwa Foundation's,
no, Kim Young Soo's personal and very secret vault.
Somewhere in that building...
are the Joseon Tongbo coins?
Yes, I'm sure of it.
If we're lucky, we could...
kill two birds with one stone.
We have no way of knowing where in the building the vault is.
It must be heavily guarded.
No. The only people there are the few guards at the entrance.
What? Why are there so few people?
He's that confident. He trusts in something.
An unmanned security system?
Yes, you could call it that.
It's a classic mechanical security system.
That's harder to break into.
No kind of hacking works,
and not even a super computer can get you in.
How are you so sure about that?
Shimada Ryosuke.
A genius scientist from Japan...
and a world-renowned barricade expert.
I found a record...
that states he helped build this facility.
You can say...
Kim Young Soo incorporated the vault in the planning stages.
I see...
There's no telling how and where the vault's connected.
I will send our ultra-small patrol drones,
but I believe this will be a very difficult operation.
I heard something from some elders...
in this field when I visited them in prison.
Many years ago, rumors of Kim Young Soo's vault circulated.
The best thieves from all over went in to raid the place.
And 30 thieves that the police...
had been tracking disappeared at the same time.
We think Kim Young Soo...
spread the rumor himself to test his security system.
Shimada Ryosuke's a 12-time winner...
of the World Booby Trap Competition.
His traps are full of mischief,
but also unpredictable and lethal.
I think he poured the remainder of his energy into this project.
The "remainder?"
As soon as the building was finished,
he also disappeared.
(Epilogue)
Gosh.
My goodness.
- Oh, dear. - How have you been?
You... Are you...
Huin Dal?
Come in.
Cho Huin Dal, right?
Gosh, how long has it been?
You're still alive.
There was a rumor that you'd died...
while trying to escape the convent.
What are you doing here?
With kids' toys.
It's just a pastime.
I'm too old to rob graves...
or break in and steal.
You killed quite a few people...
and conned others.
And stole too.
And yet...
you managed to reach this ripe old age.
You were blessed.
What are you doing?
You lived long enough.
You can't do this to me, fool.
I took you in as an orphan and raised you!
If I come with you,
can I really save my sister?
You can.
Take him and train him up.
If he's of any use,
I'd like to make him a hound of mine.
Let's go.
Why did you...
take in that kid and turn him into a thief?
You even made him kill.
Your buttons are askew.
This is why the first button's...
most important.
This is just like my life,
isn't it?
Listen to me.
Huin Dal, at the time...
I was struggling to make ends meet.
I wanted to see you so bad.
To kill you.
Huin Dal, wait.
I have cancer.
I'm sick.
I won't live long...
without you having to kill me.
I'm glad I hurried.
I hate the smell of blood,
so I was going to avoid it.
Tonight, for some reason, I miss the smell.
Huin Dal!
(Stealer: The Treasure Keeper)
It's shabby, but this is it.
This is shabby?
The toilet bowl is gold.
Why didn't you call Skunk on this nice a night?
He's a member of Team Karma too.
They're beautiful treasures that must...
come out into the open so the whole country can enjoy them.
