[footsteps approaching]
[exhales]
Oh, whew.
[groans] Jeez.
Jesus.
Oh, it's cold!
Sung-jun, it's cold. I brought you this. Hope you like it.
Thank you.
Hey, why'd you get a cold drink, you idiot?
[laughs] Just drink it.
-[Sung-jun] Jesus. -[Sang-min] Hey, hey. Cheers.
God.
Hey, Sung-jun, I meant to ask.
You guys talking?
[clicks tongue, sighs]
Ever since she, um…
He's been distant, huh?
I'm not sure when everything started.
I think you need to open up with him first, you know?
He's still a kid.
[phone buzzing]
Who's that?
Who could it…
Yes, Captain.
Yeah?
Yes, I understand, sir.
-Shit. Damn it. -What is it?
He said that one of us is enough, the other should head back to the station.
Good, this was really annoying. I'll head in.
Sung-jun.
-I should go first. -Hey, jackass.
-There's such a thing as seniority. -[laughs]
Stay here and relax.
Ah, Sung-jun.
Then just tell the Captain that this probably isn't the right place, huh?
Just do as your told…
-Huh? -…dumbass.
Come on.
See you later.
[scoffs]
[groans]
I'm supposed to stay here all night?
[breathes deeply] It's freezing.
God, I'm tired.
[phone chimes]
He really forgot his phone? Detective, my ass.
DAD, SAVE ME
[phone chimes]
[sinister music playing]
16, HAMYEONG-RI, DOJEONG-MYEON
[exhales]
[tires squealing]
[sinister music continues]
[sirens wail faintly]
[boy] I didn't fucking stab anyone. Why would I stab a cop, huh?
Let's go. Keep your mouth shut.
Did you do it?
Answer me, Jun-hyung!
[chuckles softly]
You little shit.
Detective Choi, come on, sir. That's enough.
-[officer] You shouldn't have done this. -[Jun-hyung] Fuck you.
You fucking disgrace.
[woman on TV] …all over Europe.
And this amazing piano is here today, exclusively on MH Home Shopping.
I'm so excited that we're the first to be able to show you this.
[phone buzzing]
There's something special about this piano we're about to show you.
You already know that a difference in touch
makes a difference in sound.
Hey, what is it?
[Jung-hyun] Where are you, sir? There's been an incident.
We need you here, sir.
Yoon Seo-ha's husband was found dead.
So, you-- You're saying he's really dead?
-[Dae-su] Yes. -How did he die?
Well…
He was found by the rice paddies near Jinseong-ri.
He was already dead. He had a…
gunshot wound to his face.
It seems that someone shot him with a gun at close range.
Gun sho…
[breathing heavily]
I… I don't understand. What gun?
In order to learn more, we'll need an autopsy.
It seems like it was a hunting rifle though.
Judging from appearance.
[sobs softly]
[sobbing]
[sobbing] Even at the end…
Well… [clears throat]
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
So, you came out of the restaurant around 10:00 p.m. yesterday
and then you and Mr. Yang, your husband, left together, is that correct?
[sniffles] Yes, that's right.
We left around then and started heading home,
and then we had an argument on the road.
So I just dropped him off on the way and just headed home by myself.
I don't know what happened after that.
So you're saying he got out of the car
around Jinseong-ri village, am I right?
I can't really tell you for sure
but I think it was around there, yes.
[sniffles]
Well…
Your husband, the last person he called was a woman he was having an affair with.
And was she questioned as well?
Yes, she was questioned earlier this morning and released.
I guess you already knew about her.
How did you find out he was having an affair?
Did you run your own investigation?
No, that's… I mean…
He had been acting weird lately,
so I hired a private investigator to look into it, yeah.
I mean, he just kept coming home later and later and I…
as his wife, was getting fed up and wanting answers.
What's wrong with that?
Right, so could you prove you returned to your house
at around the time you said you did?
Uh, your place has security cameras, right?
[tense music playing]
Am I a suspect right now?
We're just investigating thoroughly.
And Kim Young-ho?
Who?
Kim Young-ho, the man who said he's my brother.
Did you talk to him?
Oh, yes, of course. We already finished questioning him.
He had an alibi. We already followed up.
He was with an acquaintance of his last night.
Are you sure?
Without a shadow of a doubt, you're sure?
[Seo-ha breathing heavily]
[tense music continues]
INTERROGATION ROOM
We'll be in touch, Ms. Yoon. Get home safely.
Okay.
[tense music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps fearfully]
[tense music intensifies]
[opening theme music playing]
THE BEQUEATHED
[loud crunching]
[crunching continues]
Ugh, this is so annoying, Jesus!
Hey, who the hell let him in?
Detective Choi, mind waiting outside, huh?
I'll explain everything once I'm done. Why are you even in here, huh?
What do you think will help me solve the case?
You think a simple, quick explanation is as good as seeing the process, you idiot?
Who's an idiot?
That's something my older brother used to say.
There's truth to it, I have to admit.
God, you're such a dick.
Do me a favor. Keep your mouth shut. How can you even eat that in here?
The sound of you loudly eating chips is making me miss all the clues.
I can't stop. It's addicting.
This was my breakfast.
Mm.
So? What'd you find?
[pathologist] Well, he was shot with shotgun pellets.
The kind you use for hunting, actually. Buckshot.
Buckshot? What else?
Well, you see those abrasions over there? Those were caused by small rocks.
Judging by the angle, he was pulled by his collar and dragged.
And if he was dragged like that, we might find some DNA.
-[camera shutter clicks] -With any luck, that is.
-So, you're telling me, just wait and see. -That's right.
What about missing clues 'cause of my chewing then, huh?
-Jeez, talk about being sensitive. -[chuckles]
Oh, hey, I heard they were gonna start downsizing over at your station.
Really? First I'm hearing about it.
I heard they're going to reduce personnel and reassign teams.
Oh, is it 'cause the population's shrinking?
I guess it's rare for this area to handle a murder case.
Although…
If they're cutting people,
wouldn't that useless Captain Park be first to go?
And with things looking the way they are…
The captain getting cut will be a good thing, right?
At least for you.
You lose your mind, old geezer? Hmm?
Quit your yapping and do the autopsy already.
I'm older than you. Show some respect, punk.
That's why I said it!
[Sung-jun clicks tongue]
Digging up someone else's shit.
My bad.
What will become of the captain now?
[Ji-hun scoffs]
[man on video] …checking every detail of the swing like this
is really important for getting it right.
So, hold your left hand like this
and grab it with your right hand, like this…
Sir, um…
We'll investigate the Yang Jae-seok case separately from the Yoon Myung-gil case.
YOON MYUNG-GIL CASE REPORT
[Chief] Okay, go ahead.
[laughs]
Detective Choi wrote this one, didn't he?
Sung-jun was always good at this.
He organized his reports with military-style precision, didn't he?
[Chief laughs]
CHIEF'S OFFICE
[Jung-hyun] Sir, I heard that Captain Park might get cut
during this round of restructuring. I don't know though.
'Cause even on this one, Captain Park was the one who cracked it,
so out of everyone, shouldn't it be Detective Choi getting cut?
Hey.
So you're telling me you think Captain Park cracked this case?
Mm-hmm.
Sung-jun cracked this case, not the captain.
What are you saying? Detective Choi was absolutely useless here,
and Captain Park was the one who cracked this whole case wide open.
[Dae-su] Detective Choi is the one who investigates and solves
all of Captain Park's cases. It's been like that for quite a while now.
If someone were to be let go, it would definitely be the captain, okay?
If they choose to keep Captain Park over Detective Choi,
then they're losing their best asset.
It's stupid and unfair.
All right then, so the cases so far that the captain solved
were actually Detective Choi's. I have that right?
So something must have happened.
Back then, those two were actually quite close, yeah,
before everything went down.
[tense music playing]
[Dae-su] Detective Choi's son used to hang out
with these delinquent pieces of shit.
Then one day these bastards found out that his dad was a police officer,
so they started bullying the kid.
I don't know if they made some kind of bet or something…
Jun-hyung.
[tense music rising]
Let go!
[Sang-min groans]
[boy 1] Hey, motherfucker! That all you got?
I said, are you done, huh? Are you?
Hey!
Stop being a little bitch cop-lover, and stab your dad, you pussy!
[boy 2 laughing] This little bitch can't do anything.
[Sang-min groaning]
[boy 1] Fuckin' A, see that's what I'm talking about.
[boys laughing]
[gasping, groaning]
-[drops knife] -[Sang-min coughing]
[gasping]
Jun-hyung?
Why did you do this? Huh?
[Dae-su] Captain Park was the one who got hurt
instead of Detective Choi.
[Jung-hyun] Oh, I saw that on the news.
Wow, that was Captain Park and Detective Choi?
And that's the reason Captain Park walks with a limp and needs a cane.
He was really depressed for a while and his wife ended up divorcing him.
And now he won't even show his face to his kids.
What happened to the detective's kid? What's he doing now?
Locked up I bet, 'cause he got around five years, I think,
since he was in high school, more or less.
Man, that's crazy, really, Jesus.
And even after all that, those two,
Detective Choi and Captain Park, they still… Jesus.
It's what's in the cards, I guess.
Then there's a chance Captain Park will be getting laid off because of staff cuts.
Isn't there, sir?
A small fry like you should keep your head down and your mouth shut.
A small fry like me hears things--
Captain.
Oh, have you guys had lunch?
Yes.
I'm gonna go take my lunch now, then.
Why don't we all meet in the office at 3:00?
-Yes, sir. -Understood. Enjoy your lunch.
-Thanks. -Enjoy your meal, sir.
[Jung-hyun] You don't think he heard us, do you?
-[Dae-su] Of course he heard us. -[Jung-hyun] Shit.
[Dae-su] Ugh, we're screwed now. God, we're gonna get it later.
[Jung-hyun] Damn it.
[Dae-su] The investigation confirmed that Kim Young-ho
was purchasing dog cages at an outdoor market at around 5:00 p.m.
After that, he was seen drinking with acquaintances until around 11:00 p.m.,
and there are witnesses.
[Sang-min] Dog cages?
Kim Young-ho is involved in supplying ingredients for boyangtang.
And the deceased's mistress was on the phone with him
at his time of death.
But she was with her family, at their home in Uijeongbu at the time.
YANG JAE-SEOK MURDER CASE
Security cameras confirmed the owner of the detective agency, Kang Hong-sik,
was at his Seoul office until late at night.
Did you find anything else?
Yes, uh, we found empty cartridges not too far from the body.
They were shotgun shells. Remington, imported from America.
Then, we should look at the village
to see who around there owns that kind of gun.
Yes, sir, we already looked. No one there owned a weapon like that.
Also, there's never been hunting grounds in or around that area.
But if you look at this, you can see that the shell
was produced in 1991.
The murder weapon is over 30 years old?
What else? You find anything else?
No, sir, but we'll know more once the DNA results come back.
[sighs]
Call me as soon as they come back.
Yes, sir.
Uh, excuse me, sir.
I got in touch with someone, sir.
They claim they were close to Yoon Myung-gil's family.
Should I follow up, sir?
Everyone's already dead in that household,
so don't focus your investigation on Yoon Myung-gil's family.
Concentrate on Yoon Seo-ha and Kim Young-ho.
Those two are going to give us the answers we need in this case.
And their motives are clear.
Understood.
Sung-jun, come in to my office now.
What the hell is this?
YOON MYUNG-GIL CASE
What?
Oh, that?
"Oh, that?"
Detective Choi.
Sung-jun.
Do you remember what you told me when I was just a rookie?
You make your subordinates follow,
so there's no confusion during an investigation.
Just follow orders and pipe down.
I don't think I said anything like that.
More like, I think I just said, "Do as you're told."
"While investigating the village on Captain Park's orders,
we discovered a large quantity of thallium in Yuk Sung-soo's construction site."
I never gave you a command like that.
You don't have to spell out every order.
Subordinates should know their captain's intentions
and follow through accordingly.
[sighs]
Am I a joke to you?
I'm just an idiot who can't even solve a fucking case.
You took over the case because I was steering us towards a dead end.
And even those files…
You even filed the report so I wouldn't fuck it up, right?
Hey, I think you're getting a little too dramatic over a police report.
-That wasn't my intention, Sang-min. -What?
"Sang-min"?
[shouting] I'm your damn captain!
Rewrite the report exactly how it was!
"My idiot captain sent us on a wild goose chase,
so the investigation failed!"
Just write it how it was!
I-- Listen Sang-mi--
Captain, sir--
Get out. Get out and rewrite it all!
[sighs]
I'm sorry if I was out of line.
[breathing shakily]
PROFESSOR KIM CHANG-SEOK
[line calling]
-Oh! Hi, Ms. Yoon. -Hi, Professor Kim.
I was wondering if you were free to talk right now.
Sure. What's going on?
Huh? What is it?
Well, the thing is… it's…
Seriously, what's going on?
I just, it's… There's been another death, so…
I… I wanted you to know.
Death? Oh, no, who passed away?
Well…
It's…
Well, my husband, he had an accident.
What? What do you mean? Oh, my gosh.
What kind of accident? Why? What happened?
Well, the thing is, the police are still investigating,
so I don't know all the details yet.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, Ms. Yoon, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Hang in there, Ms. Yoon.
-Yeah. -Oh, my gosh.
This is terrible. You have to be strong, Ms. Yoon.
Yes, yes, sir, thank you. I'm doing my best.
Forget everything else.
Just let me know where the funeral will be,
and I'll definitely make it.
Yes, sir, I will. Goodbye then, sir.
Okay.
[sighs]
Shit.
[yelps]
[sighs]
Why did you…
Why'd you have to stick it in there of all places, you fucking--
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why did you do this to me? Why? Why?
[sobbing] Why? Why?
[melancholy music playing]
[Dae-su] Your husband was shot and killed.

PROFESSOR KIM CHANG-SEOK CHAIR, DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS
[Seo-ha retching]
[coughing]
[panting]
[toilet flushing]
[woman] How on earth did this happen?
Didn't someone else in her family just pass away?
Freaky, right? I got goosebumps when I got the call.
[woman] Two consecutive deaths.
Ms. Yoon's so unlucky, Jesus.
Mm. It seems like luck just isn't in the cards for her.
Her husband, I heard it was murder.
[woman] Really?
[Professor Han] You think she did it?
[woman] Hey now, what are you saying?
[Professor Han] I'm just kidding.
She does have a dark side to her, though.
And a strange family situation.
It's like her whole family is suffering from some bad karma or something.
[scoffs]
Maybe this wouldn't have happened if they were normal.
[woman] It's so unfortunate.
Yeah, but what can we do, right?
She was just born into such an odd family, it is what it is.
Let's go.
Oh? It's finally here.
Ms. Yoon, I ordered this one.
PROFESSOR HAN NA-RAE
Jae-seok wasn't a company man, so I figured we could use more wreaths.
-Get it out of here. -What?
Take it away. I won't accept this wreath.
I don't need something like this, so take it away and go.
Instructor Yoon.
Hello, ma'am.
Kang Hong-sik from the Cheolwon Detective Agency.
Oh, yes, hello, Mr. Kang.
Let's talk over here.
[man 1] Jae-seok died so suddenly. Have you heard anything?
[Hong-sik] Oh, the yukgaejang here is good.
It's not even a yukgaejang place.
-Really? Would you like another? -No, no. Thank you.
Jeez. I mean, what happened?
I'm not sure.
Well, on the way here, I was questioned by the police…
[laughs] …for the first time in my life.
Oh, I'm sorry. That's my fault.
Aw, no, don't blame yourself.
It seemed like the mistress was also investigated.
-[man 1] Why is it so empty here? -[man 2] I can't believe this happened.
It'll all be resolved soon, miss.
Yes, of course it will.
Anyway, thank you so much for coming. You must be feeling uneasy.
Oh, no, no. I'm fine. Mm.
While I was there, I heard the police say
you inherited the family resting grounds from your late uncle.
[sinister music playing]
Yes.
The police told you all that?
Mm, no.
Actually, I think it was a theory of theirs.
Like maybe you two were fighting
because of the burial ground or something, you know…
[sighs in exasperation]
-I really can't believe this. -Yeah, it's not true, is it?
I know you, Ms. Yoon. You wouldn't kill someone.
Well, the police are just… considering all of the possible angles.
[laughs awkwardly] I shouldn't have brought it up.
You-- You're uncomfortable.
Uh-uh. No, I get that they're looking for answers.
It was a surprise inheritance, so…
I should probably head home now.
If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime.
Yes.
[unsettling music playing]
Oh, ma'am.
[Seo-ha] Yes?
There's a guy I know… Actually, he's a close friend of mine.
He owns a building.
He keeps it in great condition
and his tenants always pay their rent on time.
Well, he wants to sell his building to someone who's educated, an academic.
And I know that you're highly educated. You're a great educator, I mean.
It just crossed my mind, so I thought I should mention it to you.
Since you already have a burial ground, I just thought that…
Well, since you weren't really on great terms with your family,
wouldn't getting rid of it be better?
It's probably bad luck, don't you think?
-Hmm. Yes, well… -Do you want to hear about the offer?
-Hmm. -Well, just give it some thought.
-Sure. Good night, then. -Yes.
[tense music playing]
Mr. Kang.
You see, my friend has a daughter… who met this doctor fella.
Wouldn't you know it? She gets pregnant.
Now they're getting married,
but the boy's family wants my friend to buy him a clinic.
That's the reason he's in such a hurry to sell off his nice building.
But he needs money so he can't go below cost.
He can't sell it for anything under its price, can he?
That's why it seems like your situations are just right.
[sinister music playing]

You didn't even tip me after all that, you cheap sons of bitches. [groans]
Hello?
[faint chatter, laughter]
[man 1] You should have handled it before he passed out.
Get him the hell out of here!
Damn it.
[man 2] Ah, shit! Get up, you bastard.
Oh. Hey, you guys get out.
Oh, you're… Yoon.
Ah, it was Yoon, right?
You're Ms. Yoon Seo-ha, the professor?
[Seo-ha] Yes.
Hello. I own this building.
Ah, right, hello.
[chuckle]
Hong-sik, actually. I heard a lot about you from Mr. Kang.
-A pleasure. -Yes. Where shall we talk?
Ah, yes. Here. This way. Just over here.
Place was easy to find, wasn't it?
It's really a great location here.
Ms. Yoon.
This building, it might need a bit of work,
but if you're speaking of locations, nothing compares.
The street's always busy and this corner here…
If you were to redevelop,
we're talking a billion, even more, easy, you know?
Then why would you want to sell a place like this when it's worth a lot?
[groans] This daughter of mine is getting hitched, so that's the reason.
But the boy's family is a bit classy.
Blue bloods you could say, yeah. [chuckles]
I've just been working all this time, so I didn't have time to get classy.
Now though, with the in-laws scrutinizing me and everything,
I wanna show that we too can be classy if we want to.
So how much are you asking for this building?
Well, I won't ask for a deposit for the bar, you see?
I just wanna sell the whole building for three billion. How's that sound?
Mr. Kang told me you're highly educated,
and that's a huge plus for me to sell to you.
Three billion.
I couldn't prepare such a large sum of money out of the blue.
No, no, thank you.
You've inherited a plot.
Man, I wish my ancestors just passed down land to me.
Wouldn't that be great? [chuckles]
I heard the gist of it from Mr. Kang.
The land you got should be worth a billion and a half won.
And I heard you're a faculty member.
You're salaried, you should have no problem getting loans.
Use this building for collateral too.
That makes a billion and a half simple.
Right, yes, um… The inheritance will be awhile actually.
It'll be a bit longer than I expected.
Hmm?
There's a case related to the inheritance that's pending.
A case?
What case?
I mean, if we know this place of mine is to your liking
and you want to buy the building,
inheritance or any such issues…
well, you're lucky to have me, I'll get rid of it for you.
If there are any issues, Mr. Kang can handle it for you.
If you need assistance with anything.
Thank you. Okay. Have a good night.
Yes, let's talk again soon.
-Okay. -Bye now.
[faintly] Hey, sweetie.
