What do you mean the gold bars aren't there?
(Episode 11)
We got disconnected, so I didn't get the details.
We'll have to wait until Hae Seong gets out.
Until we are back in contact with him,
we must stall.
Seo Myeong Ju of all people can't know what we just discovered.
Of course.
What now?
We've arrived, ma'am.
The time has finally come.
What do we do?
The game ends here.
Or...
see it to the end if you want.
Ma'am.
This is as far as we go.
Let them through.
Stand by.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- What the... - My gosh!
- Darn. - What on earth?
How can you just let them through?
Darn.
Goodness.
What on earth?
Where's my gold?
What the heck is all this?
Where is it?
My gold.
Hold on.
Darn, my gold.
Move this.
Where's my gold?
My gold! Where is it?
Where the heck is my gold?
Ma'am? Ma'am!
When will you get home if you leave this late?
It's my birthday tomorrow.
As if I would've forgotten that.
I'll be home before you know it and wake you up.
We'll go to your favourite observatory.
Keep your promise this time.
Or I won't ever talk to you again.
I promise.
(The late Jeong Jae Hyeon)
Hae Seong.
Grab a bite at least.
Or go inside and get some sleep.
Su A.
I'm fine.
I'm good.
Goodness.
Hae Seong's father.
The evidence points to a homicide, right?
We won't know the details until the analysis is done,
but a bullet was found.
Why he was there also needs to be investigated.
What have we been doing?
After all the hoops we had to go through...
to find those darn gold bars,
this is what we ended up with, and Hae Seong...
Oh, dear.
Glasses shouldn't be raised.
Goodness.
If the gold was never there to begin with,
how come there was a photo of it?
We all saw the photo.
I think it was bait.
The director fabricated one...
to reel us in so that we'd accept this mission.
Anyhow,
Hae Seong is finally sending his father off,
but no one's here.
For Hae Seong to find peace,
it should be bustling with people.
My gosh. What...
Goodness.
Hae Seong.
How did you know to come here?
They wanted to come, so I brought them.
Let's pay our respects to his father.
Dad,
I guess you won't be so lonely.
Thanks for coming.
You must be hungry.
Thanks.
You must be hungry so grab a bite.
(Seojam Funeral Hall)
(Deceased: Jeong Jae Hyeon, Chief Mourner: Jeong Hae Seong)
As you requested, I had it analysed by a private facility...
and not the National Forensic Service...
so that the director wouldn't know.
(Analysis Report)
(9mm, fired from a Glock 17, between 2001 to 2004)
A Glock 17?
Around 22 years ago,
it was the issued firearm for senior agents of the NIS and above.
A senior agent at the time...
That's why I looked into it.
October of 2003. Director Kim...
reported one of his bullets missing.
Hae Seong.
Director Kim...
is a prime suspect.
(Analysis Report)
(Director Kim Hyung Bae, My deepest condolences)
Where could...
my gold have gone?
Ma'am,
the investigation concluded...
that the space we found was never the vault.
It was a secret conference room...
that was put together...
by the founding chairman to collude with pro-Japanese figures.
It is my belief that the gifts...
presented to the chairman by those people...
were later misinformed as gold bars.
No, the gold existed.
I know that much. The gold was there at some point.
But where did the darn gold go?
Who took it?
Ma'am, please.
Was it Hae Seong? Yes, it was.
What an agent.
That is one talented agent.
In that short amount of time,
how did he manage...
to steal and hide all that gold?
Ma'am, please.
Yes, Director.
Bring HR in.
We're to discuss...
the suspension of Domestic Team Four's Agent Jeong.
What could be the reason?
As if he hasn't caused more than enough trouble.
The incident at the school yesterday...
and a few others will be enough.
Yes, sir.
Principal Park.
Find my gold.
Kidnap Jeong Hae Seong...
or torture him if you have to.
Do whatever is necessary.
Ma'am...
Park Jae Mun.
As of this moment, you ought...
to prove your worth.
(Following in the footsteps of our unsung heroes,)
(we stand committed to protecting our nation.)
(Result of disciplinary hearing)
(Jeong Hae Seong, Agent status terminated)
What will you say to him when you finally locate him?
That you got fired for botching a mission?
What the...
Are you going somewhere?
Yes. What brings you by?
Everyone's gathered at the restaurant...
and Senior Agent An told me to get you.
Let's grab a bite to eat.
Maybe later.
Start without me.
Hae Seong.
Are you sure you're okay?
Su A.
Thank you for everything.
You think the bullet...
was Director Kim's?
Yes.
That's how it seems so far.
I'm here.
Why is it just you? Where's my son-in-law?
He had somewhere to go.
Still. You should've brought him with you.
But he must be exhausted from the funeral.
Call him yourself then.
There's something else that's bugging me.
What could be bugging you?
What Hae Seong said to me last.
He thanked me...
as if he was saying goodbye.
Sir,
- could Hae Seong... - Come on.
I get he's upset,
but I doubt he'll hold a gun to Director Kim's head.
- Mom, I'm going too. - Hey, hold on!
- Su A, wait. - I'll see you!
Goodness me.
Hae Seong.
Let's talk this out.
Take a deep breath.
I'm sorry, Uncle.
But this seems like the only way.
I know you're frustrated, but if you do this...
You know this isn't the way.
Hae Seong, come on. Turn the car around.
We'll get together and discuss this.
This is for me to end.
Don't follow me.
Hey. Hello?
Where's Director Kim?
He's at the Incheon Hotel...
for the Defence and National Security Conference.
(Defence and National Security Conference)
Hello.
Welcome. How may I help you?
My director forgot this document.
It's urgent, but he's not picking up his phone.
What is the guest's name?
It's Kim Hyung Bae.
Mr. Kim Hyung Bae.
Yes, Mr. Kim is staying with us.
Allow me to have it delivered.
Thank you.
(Calling extension number 1201)
Yes?
There's a file for Mr. Kim Hyung Bae.
The one who...
- I'll head downstairs for a bit. - Sure.
(An Seok Ho)
Would it have killed you to take the keycard?
Your bullet was found with my dad's body.
Why did you kill him?
Why did you kill my father?
Where's the person who gave you this?
He suddenly disappeared, and I don't know where he went.
It's Room 1201.
Wait.
How do you expect to handle the fallout?
Agent Jeong!
Calm down. Let's sit down and talk.
Call security.
Yes, sir.
You're only making things worse.
Lower your gun and...
What happened...
the day my father died?
Why did he...
have to take a bullet?
Tell me everything.
Hurry!
Get in.
I think we're one step behind.
It's still not too late.
Pull yourself together...
and let us talk.
Agent Jeong!
As a member of the NIS,
- you should serve the state... - Three.
Forget that. Clear your mind...
and pull yourself together...
Two.
Fine. I'll talk!
I'll tell you everything.
That night...
Jeong Hae Seong, lower your gun!
Or I'll fire.
Lower your gun!
Sir, are you all right?
Get him out of my face.
Take him outside.
Have him ready for the local police.
You're out of your mind.
How dare you point a gun at the director?
He's dangerous, so keep your eye on him.
Take him away.
Stay frosty!
What now?
One problem at a time.
Right now, let's focus on helping Hae Seong.
To do so, we need to get past that mountain gorilla.
Would that be possible?
If only I had brought a banana.
How about this?
Hey, gorilla. It's been a while.
Domestic Team Four, you're supposed to be on standby.
What brings you here?
We were passing by...
and heard of a seminar.
Are you here to help Hae Seong escape?
I'm right.
Security.
Gosh, it's Song Hye Kyo.
Where?
As if that'd be true, you moron.
Ms. Oh.
You're up!
I've been meaning to ask.
Who is she?
Her?
Our team's wild card.
Why you...
Hold on.
Can I go to the restroom?
Those who request bathroom breaks at this point...
are up to no good.
Don't be absurd. This isn't a TV show.
I really need to go. Come on.
Stop!
- Su A? - What on earth?
No, don't!
What the...
Hold on.
Why are you here?
Is Agent An here too?
The whole team?
Yes, we all came to stop you.
Me and the rest of your team.
How stupid can you be?
I don't care how upset you are.
This isn't the place to come without a plan.
You guys are driving me nuts.
I told you not to come, but you just won't listen!
What are you talking about?
- Where is he? - He went downstairs.
Run for now.
Act normal.
One male and one female suspects of a violent crime...
are evading authorities within the hotel.
Excuse me. May we see some ID?
We'll hold them off, so go.
But Agent An...
Today, I'm paying you back...
for all you did for me.
- Yeong Hun. - Don't worry.
It's our turn to protect you.
Mi Jeong.
Don't just stand there and get going.
Go!
I can't believe he actually left.
Hey! Are you sure about this?
(Exit)
I know my team can handle this.
Let me tell you about my team.
Individually, they lack talent.
But together, they can take on anyone.
Get them!
Mi Jeong!
Yeong Hun?
You little...
Here we go!
Get them!
Are you all right?
Yeong Hun!
Our scholarship system and...
This too. Financial aid for those who need social support.
Go ahead and get rid of these.
Also, we'll increase our tuition fees by 50 percent.
Ma'am.
Then many of our students may not be able...
to continue their studies with us starting next semester.
And I'm sure the board won't be okay with it.
Those kids won't be able to transfer to Edu-City anyway.
They'll drop out anyway,
so we'll just be rid of them now.
Ma'am.
It may not be my place to say this, but if you made this decision...
to secure funding for Edu-City,
I suggest you take a step back for the time being.
Public opinion and the situation with the National Assembly...
aren't unfolding in our favour at the moment.
We should reassess the situation and wait for our next opportunity.
All will be taken care of once we find the gold bars.
What are you talking about now?
Wait for our next opportunity and take a step back for now?
Must you talk like a gutless coward?
I mean, once you have a plan,
you need to do whatever it takes...
to execute that plan.
Principal Park, why are you here now?
Go and find the gold bars.
Go and find the gold bars!
Ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
I can find the gold bars.
I can beat Jeong Hae Seong.
So, Edu-City will be all mine.
I can find the gold bars.
I can beat Jeong Hae Seong.
So, Edu-City will be all mine.
So, you guys are saying...
I was about to shoot Director Kim in the head. Is that right?
That's why you made such a big fuss and tussled with those guys?
Do you seriously think I'm that dumb?
I ranked tenth in my entire school.
Well, we really thought that was what was going on.
Then you shouldn't have said what you said.
What? What did I say?
Su A.
Thanks for everything.
What the...
Am I Chow Yun Fat?
I meant that I was grateful to her...
for attending my father's funeral.
Then you should've said so.
You confused me by saying that in such a serious voice.
Right?
In other words, it was all my fault?
It wasn't my fault.
My gosh.
Unbelievable.
I can't believe this.
Stop. That's enough!
Hey, why did you go and see Director Kim?
His bullet was found...
with my dad's body,
but there was something suspicious.
Something suspicious?
Seo Myeong Ju.
Kim Hyeon Ho had my dad's notebook, but he died.
And my dad's death.
It all happened at Byeongmun High.
Seo Myeong Ju and Director Kim were the ones...
who chose me for this operation,
so maybe they were the ones who sent my dad...
to Byeongmun High in the past too.
Maybe...
Seo Myeong Ju...
had something to do with my dad's death.
So, I wanted to ask Director Kim about it...
before they arrested him.
Your bullet was found with my dad's body.
Why did you kill him?
Why did you kill my father?
You're only making things worse.
What happened the day my father died?
Tell me everything.
You turned Director Kim's phone into a zombie phone?
Monitoring his phone conversations, location tracking, and so on.
I wanted full access.
How is Seo Myeong Ju connected to all of this?
And what happened that day?
It was the only way to find out the answers.
Hey, but...
do you think he will give away what you need to know?
He must be under a lot of pressure, knowing they found his bullet.
He'll try whatever he can to get it sorted out.
I'm sure we'll find something.
Hey, it's me.
Tell them I can't attend the seminar tomorrow.
Why do you look so tired today?
Did you have a busy weekend?
It was very eventful.
I couldn't sleep at all because of the dopamine rush.
Hey, something's fishy here.
I bet something happened between you and Mr. Jeong Hae Seong.
Why are you calling him like that?
He's 31.
I still dream about how he confessed his love in front of everyone.
"I like her, a lot."
"Can I kiss you now?"
Hey, don't exaggerate it.
By the way, why would you have a dream about Hae Seong?
You're free to dream about anything you wish.
Are you jealous now?
- Don't have dreams about him. - Oh, no.
- "Don't have dreams about him." - Attention, please.
I have special instructions from Chairwoman Seo.
I mean, does this make sense to you?
How can the school suddenly make a decision like this?
Hey, Dong Min.
- Will you be all right? - No.
I'm in trouble now.
It's not just Dong Min. We're all in trouble now.
We'll practically become refugees when the next semester begins.
Look at them making such a fuss over the 50-percent tuition hike.
Hey, Chae Lin. Read the room.
That's not what I meant.
Right.
(Byeongmun High Notice)
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
Ms. Oh, I'm only asking out of concern.
You won't take this up with Chairwoman Seo, right?
Ms. Oh!
Where are you going now?
If you push ahead with this,
at least 150 students...
will have nowhere to go in the new semester.
There are no schools in the district...
that can accept that many students.
Did you have an appointment to see me?
This is a school.
A school must offer equal opportunities to everyone...
Equal opportunities, my foot.
You know the world is an unfair place.
You teachers share the same office,
but only some of you have permanent positions.
A school guides its students toward better futures...
through education. That is what a school does!
Be quiet.
When I decided to become an educator...
Goodness. I'm sick of this.
I made a promise to myself.
Hey, you are so fake.
You tell kids that everyone is equal, knowing it isn't true.
It's not like you will take care of them for life.
You keep making promises you can't even keep.
You're a hypocrite!
"Don't become a selfish adult..."
"who turns her back on children to pursue her own personal gain!"
Get lost!
You are a narcissist. A hypocrite!
You must be very lonely.
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh, where are you going?
(Byeongmun Foundation)
Hello.
I'm here to speak to the board...
about Chairwoman Seo Myeong Ju.
What brings you here? You didn't even call.
My bullet was found with Jeong Jae Hyeon's skeleton.
I see.
It is evidence that he was killed,
so Jeong Hae Seong won't sit idly by.
We must get rid of him before he does anything.
No.
Never.
Not before I find my gold.
Then I'll be put in a difficult position.
Director Kim, you are a 50-year-old man.
Figure it out on your own.
I will deal with Jeong Hae Seong.
As for the bullet, you deal with it.
You can't do this.
You...
You can't do this to me.
What do you mean?
You killed Jae Hyeon.
You killed Agent Jeong Jae Hyeon!
You might not remember, but you fired the gun!
You killed Agent Jeong Jae Hyeon!
Dad!
Yes?
You need this, your notebook.
Thanks, son.
Bye.
I'll be home soon.
Hey, Jae Hyeon.
Oh, what are you doing here?
Nothing much.
I wanted to talk to you someplace quiet.
Was it you?
You're the spy in league with Seo Myeong Ju?
You see, here's the thing about life.
It all comes down to money.
Considering the amount of gold hidden there,
I hope you can understand.
Oh! Hello, Mr. Kim Jae Yeong.
Right. Today, you are here as Agent Jeong Jae Hyeon.
I should've greeted you properly sooner.
Just get to the point.
Where is my gold?
Gold?
Just tell her where it is, Jae Hyeon.
Let's take the easy road.
There is no gold.
The secret vault built by Seo Byeong Mun, the founder.
It was empty.
Your crazy delusions led you to believe...
Jeong Si Hyun is your son's name, right?
Stay away from Si Hyun.
Stay away from my son!
My gosh. I'm so scared.
Let me ask you one last time.
Where is it?
Chairwoman Seo.
Then grant me a wish.
Go on and tell me.
I only have one wish.
I want the world to know all about your disgusting corrupt deeds.
What are you doing?
What you so desperately want.
No, don't shoot!
You'll never find it.
- Oh, no! - Ma'am.
What are you doing?
Do you want him dead?
That's why I pulled the trigger.
The vault is in the school anyway.
If I have to let the government confiscate my gold,
it's better...
to just kill him now.
- You didn't find him? - We're sorry, sir.
I swear, he came in here!
- Find him! - Yes, sir.
Search every corner!
- Go upstairs. - Yes, sir!
Son.
I couldn't keep my promise.
I'm sorry.
Happy birthday.
You killed Jae Hyeon and want me to take the fall for everything?
I won't let that happen.
Do you have evidence?
Evidence to prove that I was the one who shot Agent Jeong Jae Hyeon.
Do you have such evidence, Director Kim?
No, I do not.
But I do have something.
I can testify against you as a living witness.
What could you even do with the gold if you find it?
Will Edu-City ever be completed when a murderer is behind it?
That will be interesting to watch.
Jeong Hae Seong...
really wants to know how his father died.
I'm going to tell him, one thing at a time.
I think I found a way.
A way to make...
Jeong Hae Seong talk.
Darn it!
(Jeong Hae Seong)
Shoot.
What's up?
How does it feel to be dumped by Seo Myeong Ju?
What are you on about?
(Jeong Hae Seong)
If you testify,
we can take down Seo Myeong Ju.
Show you have some humanity left.
Let's meet in person.
I have a lot to tell you.
Director.

Hey, open the door.
Open the door right now!
- Get him out. - Come on out.
Drop the knife!
Drag him out.
You're being arrested at the site of Kim Hyung Bae's murder.
You can hire a lawyer,
explain yourself,
and refuse to incriminate yourself.
- Take him away. - Okay.
(Police)
The final exams are coming up.
Talk to the students...
so they don't loosen up.
- This month's dinner... - Ms. Oh.
Yu Jeong. What...
This morning, ex-NIS agent Jeong...
was arrested...
on-site for the murder of his superior Kim.
Jeong had had a grudge against Kim...
because of his recent dismissal.
They met last night and the argument escalated,
resulting in Jeong reportedly stabbing him...
- with a knife he'd brought. - No way.
- Police... - Hae Seong!
requested an autopsy...
to identify Kim's cause of death,
- How come... - while questioning...
a warrant for Jeong's arrest.
Find any proof you can...
focusing on last night's movements.
Hae Seong ended up like that...
because something happened last night.
- Get to it. - Yes, sir.
Sir.
- Yeong Hun. - Yes?
- You found something? - A recording.
You killed Agent Jeong Jae Hyeon!
You might not remember, but you fired the gun!
You killed Agent Jeong Jae Hyeon!
Do you have evidence?
Let's go.
I get it now.
He heard this and went to see Director Kim.
Where he fell into a trap?
Secure all exits...
and take all you can find.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Get Seo Myeong Ju's recording.
Take all that.
We're executing...
a search and seizure warrant at Jeong Hae Seong's residence.
I need you three to come with us...
to give a statement.
- Get to it. - No, wait.
What's the rush?
You brought a lot of boxes.
Let me help. Come this way.
This could become obstruction.
Get started!
- Let us through. - I can help.
Please cooperate.
- Take your time. - Let us in.
Coming through.
Get out of the way.
- Fine. - Come in.
My leg cramped up.
Wait.
What...
You can go now. Okay?
Guys. Search the second floor thoroughly too.
- Let's go. - Okay.
After you.
Let's get going. To the police station.
- Okay. - Go on.
This was found...
during the search of Jeong Hae Seong's home.
It contains a recording of your conversation...
with Director Kim.
I can't let my guard down with him.
Tell Detective Cho he did well...
and pay him handsomely.
What do you plan to do with Jeong Hae Seong?
We set a trap and caught him.
Let's open him up.
We'll see if my gold appears or not.
I'm hungry.
I want food.
Seolleongtang, please.
He's a psycho.
Hey.
Order him a seolleongtang.
They got Hae Seong?
The police are questioning him.
Mom. Do you know anyone...
Who are you calling?
We can't just sit and wait. Let's break him out of there.
Yes, it's me.
Get all the boys and...
Let's break free from the age of violence.
We should do something.
We can't let innocent Hae Seong suffer.
If you'd come a bit earlier, we could've eaten together.
We meet again so soon.
Let's see what state you're in.
Not too bad.
I'm not easily intimidated.
- So full of energy. - Because I'm not guilty.
You know that.
Too much hope...
makes you miserable.
"Everything's fine. Nothing will go wrong."
"I can win as long as I don't give up."
Hope...
is evil.
Because it prolongs suffering,
of all the evil in the world,
hope is the worst.
Many years ago,
I met someone just like you.
He was so stubborn,
he ended up dead in a vault.
How dare you mention my father?
Where did you hide my gold?
Tell me.
Do you want to go down a murderer?
Why do you think I have it?
Because you have it.
Chairwoman Seo, you've become a monster.
What made you like this?
The chosen people...
have a duty and responsibility to care about education.
The next 100 years?
I'll raise up those who will run our nation.
That's my dream.
What of the people who died for that pipe dream?
Stepping on a few insects is nothing...
when you're on a long journey.
That's not a dream.
It's a desire and obsession. You pitiful woman.
You're pitying me when you're in that seat?
I'll ask you again.
My gold.
Where is it?
It's in your pipe dream.
It must be in your blood.
Bad things can be inherited.
Okay.
Do you know where I'll go as soon as I leave?
I'll go to Yu Jeong.
I'll cut off a finger and send it to you.
Then you'll call me in tears.
You'll beg me to stop and to see you.
You'll offer to tell me anything.
But I won't stop...
until all the people you care about become miserable.
Don't touch anyone else.
You'd be dead if I so much as touched you.
I swear I'll take you down.
We have a friendship of sorts.
For that, I'll give you one day.
Think hard tonight...
and then call me tomorrow.
My number's the same.
Let's eat when you get out.
(Sangan Police Station)
(Warm and trustworthy Sangan police)
Sorry in advance.
- It'll hurt a bit. - What?
You punk.
You...
Darn you.
Shoot.
Stop it!
Darn you!
Let go!
Pull over.
How in the world...
Okay.
(Have a Drink With Su A)
See you later.
(Police Say Ex-NIS Agent Jeong Planned Murder)
Hello?
- It's me. - Is that you, Hae Seong?
Where are you?
What happened? You got out?
Su A.
I'm sorry.
I need your help.
Hae Seong. Where are you?
I'll come over.
Where are you?
Hae Seong!
(Undercover High School)
No one knows what she'll do to those around me.
I'll go after Seo Myeong Ju.
Only one thing in the whole world is impartial.
Do you know what that is?
It's death.
You said you'd protect the kids.
Go and protect them.
I have a condition.
I'll resign and willingly.
She went against you to protect us.
You inferior fools.
We'll all die together.
What are you doing?
No. Seo Myeong Ju!
- Hae Seong! - Is something wrong?
Hae Seong.
I came to say this.
I'll miss you.
