(Episode 3)
I can do this.
Smile.
Hello, Cha Cha Woong. I made some food.
Ta-Da!
My. Did I wake you up?
I'm sorry.
Oh, right. I'm here to give this to you.
So this is
Please give this to your employees.
It has bossam up here and short ribs here.
There's also buchimgae
and tteokbokki.
You don't have to
glare at me like that.
I told you
It's not for you.
It's for your employees.
I told you never to show up again
Why
Gosh!
Hey, Mr. Cha Cha Woong. Excuse me. My gosh.
He's burning up. What's going on?
I should take you to the hospital. Hold on.
Hang on. I'll carry you on my back.
My goodness. You can't even walk.
Hold on.
Wait, the door.
We're here. Your bed is right here.
No, not that way. Come here.
Right here. Lie down.
Lie down. My goodness!
He's so heavy. Gosh, my back.
No
Oh, no.
You're sick as a dog.
Gosh, you're burning up.
Hey.
Yes. What is it?
That's right. Do you want a cold compress?
- Oh, should I call an ambulance?
- No
What do you need?
Just
get out.
Come on. Don't worry.
I'm not so heartless.
It's not that. I feel like
I'd actually die if you stayed.
You should take a fever reducer first.
It's in the living room cabinet.
It must be in here.
Found it.
Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul.
They must be his ghost employees.
If you eat well before you die,
you look great even as a spirit.
- No!
- Goodness.
She totally scared me. Who is she?
Oh, my apologies.
I'm just not used to it yet. That's all.
What? Can she see me?
Well
- Who are you? Can you see me?
- I hope you like the food.
- Can she see me or what?
- Thank you so much for everything.
- Hey, can you see me?
- Thanks to you,
I managed to catch the hit-and-run driver.
What? She can't see me.
"Hit-and-run"? What do you mean?
I'm sorry, but could I
ask you for another favour?
What is it?
We're looking for citizens
to join our civil police unit.
We'd love to have Mr. Cha and
his employees on the team.
It'd be of tremendous help to us
in ensuring citizens' safety
and preventing crime.
A civil police unit? What is this about?
Oh, I forgot.
I have to give him this medicine.
Well
Please let Mr. Cha know and
see if you can persuade him.
Take your time and enjoy the food.
What?
That rude brat helped the police?
She looks young, but she's a great cook.
Did you take it?
Here, let me put this on your forehead.
It's fine.
Aren't you late for work?
If you have no special talent,
you should at least be diligent.
I'm a cop.
It is my job to ensure
citizens' well-being and safety.
Well, and
especially knowing how much
you care for your neighbours,
I can't just turn around and walk away.
Right?
What are you talking about?
Oh, my. I feel so much better now.
That's right. You brat!
I heard you helped this lady cop
catch a hit-and-run driver
and are joining a civil police unit
or something like that.
- What?
- "I don't trust people,"
"and I don't want to help anyone."
Didn't you say that to me?
Then why did you help this lady?
Why must you refuse to accept me
as your worshipping spirit?
Are you two seeing each other or something?
Goodness. Stop talking nonsense.
"Civil police unit"? What's that about?
Gosh, I told you to take your time
and enjoy your food.
Well, I was going to ask you about it.
You see, I've been doing some thinking.
Your abilities.
Isn't it such a waste to just
use them for magic tricks?
You see, the most frustrating thing
about homicide investigations
is that the dead can't talk.
However, you can communicate with the dead.
And your employees are perfectly suited
for undercover operations.
So my point is,
if we join forces like this,
we can catch all the bad guys out there.
Well, I know.
I knew you'd get mad at me.
I thought about only asking your employees,
but I have no means of
communicating with them,
so I really need you.
This is for walking me to my bed.
This is for the medicine and cold compress.
And this is for the food you brought today.
Now, we're even.
I don't owe you anything, right?
Get out.
I can't believe this.
What do you take me for?
You know what?
They say you can pay off your debt
with thoughtful words,
but you make me want to curse you
even when you're throwing money around.
That young lady is a
good judge of character.
Why would you use words instead of money
to pay off your debt?
Words can't replace money.
Fine. I'll be off, then.
My words probably
don't mean anything to you,
but I have to say this before I go.
Thank you.
Thanks to your help,
I managed to catch the culprit,
and Min Ho can rest in peace now.
Thank you very much.
(Virtue Power)
What? I didn't do anything.
Why did this suddenly appear?
- Did you do something?
- No, I did not.
Get out. Go.
(Virtue Power)
Next news.
Police arrested the culprit
in the kidnapping and murder
of a woman in her 50s
in South Chungcheong Province.
In a statement released
by Seoan Police Station,
the police stated that the culprit,
Shin, picked up the victim
Hi, you're here.
Working the night shift is not easy.
Go sleep at home.
I wasn't dozing off.
I was watching the news.
Police also found tools that may
have been used as murder weapons.
Shin has been arrested as the
prime suspect in the murder,
and police are currently
investigating his motive and
Good morning, guys!
- Good morning.
- Hello.
Officer Ko, how's everything coming along
for the civil police unit?
Police rushed to the scene
after checking security footage, but
Chief.
May I take today off?
Did you come in to ask for a day off?
It makes no sense.
Sure, go ahead.
Yong Ryul, you can cover for her.
Chief, it's my day off today.
Just cover for her.
I'm sorry, Yong Ryul. I owe you one.
- Bye.
- Wait!
- Bye.
- Officer Ko!
Come on, Yong Ryul.
Try to understand.
Her father died in the line of duty
while investigating the Full Moon Murder,
you know.
She became a cop to catch the culprit.
Didn't the culprit die back then?
I heard the killer drowned in the sea.
But we never found the culprit's body.
So whenever she hears
about a similar case
or sees someone who looks like
the face in the composite,
she still chases them like that.
Even though nothing has come out of it
for the past ten years?
Have you ever seen her give up on anything?
Besides, this is the one case
she's been dying to solve.
She won't give up until she
sees for herself that the culprit is dead.
I guess Officer Ko was here.
Tteokbokki, braised short ribs, and bossam.
My, it looks delicious.
What's wrong with this?
It tastes like dirt.
It tastes like gum someone's
been chewing for days.
Someone already sucked
all the vital energy out of these.
Who? The 2,000-year-old newbie?
Darn, I can't take this anymore!
Calm down. You saw what he could do.
Come on. He's not the only dead guy here!
I really can't take this anymore.
Calm down. What can you do?
You know that his powers trump ours.
He's the spirit that
Mr. Cha's family used to worship.
That's the Cha family's problem!
We're Mr. Cha's employees,
not the Cha family's slaves!
Unbelievable. I can't help but scoff
at this ridiculous situation.
How insolent!
How dare you laugh at me?
I never laughed at you.
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's not this way.
He's over there. In the room.
Darn it. Come out!
Hey, lower your voice.
- Tell him to come out.
- What?
I really can't take this anymore.
You mean, me?
No, that 2,000-year-old jerk.
Really?
Forget it.
I told you. Right here.
You can go on about it,
but I'm really out of it right now.
The medicine will kick in soon,
so let's talk when my fever breaks.
No medicine can help you.
What do you mean?
You're sick because I put a curse on you.
On purpose.
What? You put a curse on me?
How could you do this to me
just because I wouldn't listen to you?
It's what a thug would do, not a spirit!
I can do this because I'm a spirit.
I'm not some swindler!
Darn you.
You.
If you don't do as I say,
I will never lift this curse.
You put this curse on me,
so you must know
that I'm in no state to listen
to your spiel about "virtue power".
Goodness.
Fine, okay. Hold on a moment.
How do you feel? You feel fine now, right?
What?
Oh, yes.
Darn you!
Gosh.
- Hey, listen.
- Goodness.
The moment when that lady cop thanked you,
your virtue power level went up like this.
(Virtue)
What is "virtue power" anyway?
It's like an index that shows
how much of your bad karma
you've gotten rid of
by doing virtuous deeds.
When I perform exorcisms
through my Chosen Pupil and help people,
my virtue power level goes up.
When it fills the entire fan,
I will enter the eternal paradise.
I told you. I'd rather die
than become a shaman.
Have you not been listening at all?
You don't have to become a shaman
to gain more virtue power.
Join the civil police unit
she mentioned earlier.
All you have to do is make her thank you.
Ko Seul Hae? Why? She's a nobody.
Hey, that cop has one heck
of a seven-star channel.
It goes all the way up to the sky.
I've never seen such a clear
seven-star channel before.
"Seven-star channel"?
Doesn't it mean she's either psychic
or is fated to become a shaman?
Come on. Up until a few days ago,
she kept insisting that
there's no such thing as ghosts.
No, it's a channel through which
the sky sends down
its wishes to this realm.
It doesn't mean she has to become a shaman.
She is fated to follow the skies' wishes.
So it's basically
like a hotline to reach the skies,
and hers is much stronger
than what most shamans have.
When she's touched, so are the skies.
Even if I don't become a shaman,
you can accumulate more virtue power.
That's right!
Now, we're talking.
It's a good thing for you because
you don't have to become a shaman.
And I don't have to sit inside your body
and do all the work.
The universe is helping me out
so I can relax
and take it easy for a change!
So in other words,
you're going to make me do all the work.
Sorry to disappoint you,
but I don't like to help others
when there's nothing in it for me.
Hey, wait.
That rude brat
This is not good.
"Possibility."
Like the line from a movie,
a blank page in a book is often the one
that is filled with endless possibilities.
My gosh.
I don't see any ghosts.
How does he do that?
He's like a ghost.
My gosh!
Oh, sorry.
You'd better listen to me and do it
while I'm still nice to you.
Join the civil police unit.
Don't talk to me. I'm working right now.
Me too. Your body is like my office.
I never hired an employee like you.
Like I said, your ancestors
signed an eternal
employment contract with me.
Next up is the hottest
magician of the moment.
I heard he prepared a
special show for today.
Please welcome the Fiery Magician,
Cha Cha Woong.
("God of Magic")
Then as your new employer,
I shall deal with this accordingly.
You've been let go.
You're fired as of today.
You are fired.
What? "Fired"?
That little brat.
I must teach him a real lesson.
- My gosh!
- What was that?
It's hot!
Stop.
Juggle!
This is incredible.
- My gosh.
- This is insane.
- Oh, my.
- I can't believe this.
What's wrong, Mr. Cha?
What do you want us to do?
My back.
Your back? Come over here, guys.
No, down.
- Down!
- Down!
No!
- His buttocks are on fire!
- What?
- For real?
- The fire extinguisher!
It's hot!
My gosh, it's hot!
It's hot!
Make way!
Darn it.
That's the end of my show.
A young calf is sitting on the stage
And crying
- Fire!
- Mom!
- Mom!
- Fire!
My buttocks are blazing hot!
- Hot!
- Hot!
- It's hot! It's so hot!
- It's hot!
Is it fun making jokes
out of someone's livelihood?
Making jokes?
I'm dead serious and desperate.
If you're trying to
suck the life out of me,
just kill me in a
car accident this instant.
I can't possibly do that.
This body will be mine.
I can't let it get a scratch.
Hands off.
So do as I tell you
if you don't want to go out of business.
A young calf is sitting on the stage
Hi.
I'm Madam Shaman Na Geum Ok's
one and only granddaughter,
Cheon Ye Ji.
Madam Shaman Na Geum Ok's granddaughter?
And?
I came to deliver some things
and to make a proposal.
These belonged to the late Mr. Shaman.
Hey, why are you laying them out?
I don't need them,
so take them back.
Did you just kick my portrait?
Could you be General Spirit Choi Geom?
What? Can you see him too?
No, but I can feel him.
Hello, General Spirit!
I am Madam Shaman Na Geum Ok's
granddaughter and pupil,
Cheon Ye Ji, 20 years old.
It's an honour to meet you.
See that? She says it's an honour.
That's how great I am.
You're a shaman too?
Goodness, this isn't where ghosts, shamans,
and spirits have get-togethers.
Whatever. Just leave.
I'll trade these or whatever.
Hey, why would you do that?
He must've lost it.
I'm not done with my business.
You'll love my proposal.
- What is it?
- Well
Why don't we get married?
What?
The granddaughter of Na Geum Ok,
this era's best madam shaman,
and the grandson of the
legendary Mr. Shaman
get together.
I'm not going to become a shaman!
- It hurts.
- Leave! Go!
Gosh, he's not as ambitious as he looks.
I've got a lot to teach him.
So you're Chief Nam Sang Gun,
the big guy's Director Ma Dong Chul,
the youngest is Kang A Reum,
and that disrespectful punk is the boss?
Yes. Those are the members
of our Magic Factory.
Gosh.
Then what should I be?
Excuse me?
I can't be without a title
when I'm a part of the company now.
But being called General or
Spirit doesn't sit right.
Brother, I did some thinking.
How about captain or section head?
Aren't both lower than you?
- What?
- Listen,
you don't have experience
in the magic field.
He's right.
Are you feeling better?
I've already released more than I can.
Know when to stop.
With the amount of energy you have to talk,
you still have a long way to go.
That's serious torture.
That's it! Adviser!
What?
An adviser advises the company
based on their rich knowledge
and experience, right?
Yes, correct.
And as you can see, I'm an expert
at torturing the mind and the body.
An adviser is perfect. Adviser Choi!
Yes, nothing can be better.
- Adviser.
- Adviser Choi.
Yes, Adviser Choi.
The best adviser.
(Civil Police Recruitment Notice)
We're recruiting civil police officers.
I'll leave one here. Bye.
We're recruiting civil police officers.
I don't need one.
We're recruiting civil police officers.
The recruitment period is short,
so please read it.
(Recruited Civil Police Officers: 0 People)
This is driving me nuts.
Trying to win, are you?
Not a chance.
Another round.
Mr. Cha, can you work in that state?
How about resigning from "God of Magic"?
Nonsense.
Do you know how much I can earn
from shooting commercials during the show?
I'm holding out, period.
Goodness.
Oh, my.
- It's Lee Eun Gyeol.
- My hair finishes my style.
The moment your magical hair enwraps you.
It's smoother tomorrow
- than today.
- Something like that!
- Don't forget.
- I should take those from him.
If I beat him with my skills
during the show,
all those commercials will become
You get commercial offers
from favourability, not skills.
And you'd never win against
Lee Eun Gyeol even if you tried.
Why?
He's on top of the
trending searches all day long.
Starting a few years ago,
he's been financially supporting
open-heart surgeries
for more than 100 kids.
And in secret at that.
When this became public,
everyone fell in love with him.
I read that too.
The letter a patient's mom
sent to the newspaper company.
Gosh, I cried.
He should've just kept it a secret.
Why reveal it now of all times?
I see.
Lee Eun Gyeol's a lot
smarter than I thought.
Not everyone's like you.
Unlike many youngsters these days,
Lee Eun Gyeol's a good man.
So I put my writing skills to good use.
Were you moved by it?
You sent it? My gosh.
- Unbelievable.
- Listen, Lee Eun Gyeol
signed commercial contracts
for a bank, beer,
and even an apartment.
What? Really?
You'll end up as
Lee Eun Gyeol's sidekick
if you don't resign from the show.
Will I let someone else take credit
when I'm going through all this?
Over my dead body.
Favourability? Let's see.
If I shoot three commercials
Hold on.
If per episode, it's
And if I multiply three by this number
Oh, my gosh.
I've decided.
Let's go.
Na Eun, aren't we friends?
Come on, join the civil police unit.
I beg you.
Who? Cha Cha Woong?
I did ask him.
But don't get me started.
So what if he's a member of society?
I can't communicate with him at all.
As if the cat got his tongue,
he won't thank me for taking
care of him when he was sick.
He only keeps going on about money
and how he'll pay me back
with the same kindness.
Talk about being rude.
Officer Ko, Mr. Cha Cha Woong is
I'm talking about him right now.
I've never met anyone more self-centered
and crazy about money than him in my life.
Do you think he'd agree to become
a civil police officer? No way.
He's doing it. Cha Cha Woong agreed.
Forget it.
It's us who will refuse
Who agreed to it?
I did.
I'll do it. The civil police officer.
So the new senior adviser
demands Magic Factory to become
a social enterprise?
That's not the main reason.
The main reason is to gain
the public's favour
by exposing my volunteer activities
as much as possible.
So you'll use it to free yourself
and to bring in money?
Sir, the window?
Why?
Let's work hard together! We can do it!
Thank you!
Stop it.
What a rude jerk.
(Kangguk Police Department)
That little
What?
I knew it! See that?
It went up because she thanked us.
(Virtue Power)
You made a wise decision.
I commend you.
Commend? I'm doing it for myself,
not to get praised by the likes of you.
Hey, I'm a spirit. Watch your mouth.
From now on, call me Adviser Choi.
If not
You know what'll happen, right?
Anyway, I'm going to take back
all the money Lee Eun Gyeol got.
So don't get in my way.
Adviser Choi.
What?
Cha Cha Woong agreed to
the civil police unit?
Yes, that's right.
If it's Cha Cha Woong,
TV stations and journalists
will come even before we ask them to.
The fates are helping you
advance to the National Assembly.
It's about time.
- By the way,
- Yes?
why are you still here?
Go and make the preparations
for the kick-off ceremony.
We're still short on the members.
This is our chance.
Are you going to waste it?
Fill up the vacant spots
with whoever you can.
We need to hold the ceremony
before Cha Cha Woong changes his mind!
Understood!
Hurry up and move!
To prevent crimes
and promote the community,
Kangguk Police Department has
launched a civil police unit.
A round of applause!
To celebrate this moment
as the police and citizens become one,
I, Seo Chang Ho,
will work to develop our community
Isn't he Cha Cha Woong?
- It is!
- Oh, my gosh.
- For our citizens
- My goodness.
- You're handsome!
- I can't believe it.
What do I do?
- You're so good-looking!
- I believe
Kangguk Police Department can do it.
Thank you to those who came
to the kick-off ceremony
of Kangguk Police Department's
civil police unit.
As the chief of police,
I will work harder than anyone else.
A round of applause!
- Oh, my.
- I still can't believe it.
(Civil Police)
(Civil Police Unit)
Here. The citizens are delighted
to have you participate.
It's a befitting response.
That's what I'm here for.
Right.
Chief, I'm the one who recruited Mr. Cha.
I did a good job, didn't I?
I didn't know that.
I heard how much you cared about this,
so I tried my very best.
Please leave it to me even from now on.
Since we had the kick-off ceremony,
you can carry on with your other duties.
- What?
- No way.
I have no reason to do this without Ms. Ko.
She has to, and I repeat,
has to be a part of this.
Is that so?
I didn't know you two were that close.
Okay, Seul Hae. I know you're busy,
but please help them out.
I leave it to you.
I was only worried it'd wear you out.
Of course, Chief.
Don't worry.
I'll do a good job.
Great.
Move.
(Civil Police)
Just a moment, please.
Now then, members of the civil police unit,
there will be self-defence training soon.
Why does that punk have a long face?
We will start a simple
self-defence training
just in case.
First, you're walking down the street
when an armed man
suddenly grabs the back of your neck.
This is how you can escape.
I need a volunteer.
Mr. Cha?
Do you mind?
Me?
Okay, grab the back of my neck.
Are you sure?
With so many eyes on us,
I'm worried you'd lose face.
Go ahead.
(The First Kangguk Police Department
Civil Police Unit Kick-off Ceremony)
In a situation like this, do not panic.
Turn your body towards your opponent,
grab their arm and collar,
and flip them over.
My gosh.
He's so cool.
Lastly, subdue them.
Let's watch the whole move again.
Wait. I haven't prepared my heart yet.
- Here I go.
- Hold on.
- Goodness.
- Hey.
Is he okay?
This is how you break away.
Easy, isn't it?
No.
(Kangguk Police Department)
Darn it.
Does it hurt a lot?
Does he even know how much I'm worth?
Of course, he does.
- But who knew you'd be this weak?
- Weak?
I made it out in one piece
because I worked out a ton.
If it were someone else,
they would have a dislocated arm.
He's unnecessarily strong.
Right? He's stronger than he looks.
He may look like a model
with how slim he is,
but he won a gold medal at
the national judo competition.
You'll be able to make good use
- of the self-defence move
- I won't.
You do know my motto
as civil police, right?
Work short and effortlessly
but impressively.
I won't step foot in any
dangerous situations.
What about this?
Here.
Grab
and flip.
This is nothing to show off.
- Mr. Cha.
- Gosh, you scared me!
Knock, will you?
I'm hungry.
Can you order some fried chicken?
What's with that?
This?
I was thinking of martial arts
for our next show's concept.
So I was practicing.
You should've told me.
Though I may look like this,
I was a gangster.
You can't ask for a
better practice partner.
Come at me.
What are you doing?
Stop. Let go!
But I'm not doing anything!
It hurts! My wrist hurts!
I'm sure I used the right moves.
- Stand behind me.
- What?
Come on.
Once you've turned,
use your elbows, then your buttocks.
Okay, one more time. Get up.
No, I'm good.
This is enough, so leave.
Why? It's been ages
since I worked out, and it's fun.
Good job, then. Now, leave. Out!
Got it.
Just don't forget to order a fried chicken.
Mr. Cha.
Mr. Cha?
Exhausting, isn't it? Here you go.
Gosh, thank you.
And who may you be?
Me? A part-timer.
A part-timer?
Hired by whom?
Oh, that guy. Him over there.
What the
Darn, that's cold!
Seriously? Are you insane?
Even though you're supposed
to be volunteering,
I saw you wearing shades, lounging around,
and sipping on a beverage
outside a convenience store.
I figured you needed another cool beverage.
Why should I waste my energy
when no one can see my face?
You said you knew how much I was worth.
Doing that could lead
to exhaustion and injuries.
How inefficient is that?
Like I told you,
my motto as a member of the
civil police unit is this.
Work short and effortlessly
but impressively.
That I know!
I'm fully aware that you
charge by the second.
It's why I acted efficiently.
In a short, effortless, but impressive way.
Wait!
Stop the video.
What's the name of the
maiden with the blonde hair?
Oh, her. Her name is Aris.
Aris. Look how pretty you are.
My eyes are now purified.
Boss I mean, Adviser Choi.
You sure know how to pick them.
Aris is huge at the moment.
A while ago, it was Suzy.
Play the video again.
Sure thing.
Hey.
You must now know this
since all you did is study before dying,
but being in a gang is all
about knowing who to serve.
I'm choosing to serve Geom.
You should join me.
Mr. Choi,
this must be your first time
watching a girl group perform.
When would I have had the time to watch TV?
To fend off puny spirits, do exorcisms,
and return husbands having affairs,
I ran up mountains and across fields
to gain virtue power.
Absolutely!
Adviser Choi.
Adviser Choi?
I hear something coming from your fan.
Oh.
Unbelievable. That's all you gained again?
That little brat.
Why hasn't he been able
to gain enough virtue power?
(My Final Words)
- It's Black Hit.
- Again?
What is with people and online gambling?
So many have already
taken their own lives
after losing their life savings.
Was there any word from Cyber Division?
The administrator running the
site seems highly intelligent.
Let's start off by tracking
his bank account transactions.
This is good.
- It's good.
- Please have your fill, sir.
(Ladies and Gentlemen,
Enjoy the Food and Be Healthy)
Ma'am, what is with the buffet?
Isn't it supposed to be a soup kitchen?
Mr. Cha Cha Woong called
a catering service.
The elders are ecstatic to say the least.
(Magician Cha Cha Woong
wishes the elders the best!)
- Ouch.
- Sorry.
- Aren't you cold?
- Keep fanning.
Mr. Cha.
Leave it there.
Why are there so many air vents
at a tiny senior citizen center?
No way. As if I'd let you get me again.
Are you for real?
You must be sincerely touched.
We must do the volunteer work ourselves.
I personally called the catering service
and signed off on the purchase myself.
You hired a part-timer to
wear the mascot costume
and ordered a buffet for the elderly.
You can't solve everything with money!
Serving the elderly the food
isn't about just providing
them with a meal.
We sit with them as they eat
and listen to their problems.
We're supposed to share the warmth!
Rather than holding their hands
and encouraging them by catching clouds,
I feel like they'd
appreciate a fancy buffet
that's too expensive
for them to enjoy again.
What do you think? I have a point, right?
If you're going to thank me,
I'd rather you do it fast.
But I'm not grateful at all.
For some reason,
you keep wanting me to thank you.
Who brings a parasol
to a place where they are volunteering at?
Come down this instant.
I can't.
You need to thank me.
- No way. You can't.
- Let me.
Opening it will let out all the cold air.
It's too hot for me!
Stop. You can't do this.
- Move over.
- But it's hot.
It's too hot outside.
You'll only catch a cold.
Darn it. My son built
this building for me, you know.
Who are you to stop me from
enjoying a cold breeze?
That's exactly why I'm stopping you.
You don't want to waste money
on the electricity bill.
It must cost a lot to keep a
fridge of this size running.
Whatever. Just shut it!
I'm going home.
- Unbelievable.
- Darn.
Was this building
constructed by Mr. Kim's son?
That's right.
He won't stop bragging about his son.
Why does he live alone though?
Where is his son?
Who knows? None of us has ever seen him.
What good does getting him a building do
when the son walked out
on his father who has dementia?
Mr. Kim?
Mr. Kim!
Are you leaving so soon?
Why don't you make up with the lady
and stay for some fun?
No!
That darn brat.
She has no respect for her elders.
Mr. Kim
Mr. Cha, it seems like
Mr. Kim needs a ride home.
- Did you bring your car?
- Mr. Cha, this way.
We can't take a photo without you.
- Ma'am, this way.
- Oh, of course.
I'm sorry about this,
but Chief Seo needs me over there.
Of course this is something he'd gladly do.
You can stand in the center.
Mr. Kim, allow me to escort you home.
(Magician Cha Cha Woong
wishes the elders the best!)
We're here, Mr. Kim.
Head inside and get some rest.
How sweet of you.
Take this
and buy yourself a snack.
Mr. Kim,
where on earth did you get this money?
I dug it up.
You dug up the money?
I harvest money from my yard.
Why don't I show you? Huh?
But
Right here?
See?
It's like harvesting sweet potatoes.
But
It's another bumper
harvest of money this year.
My gosh. What on earth
Over here. We have more!
Carefully, search every inch of this yard!
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
This must be about ten billion won.
Ten billion won?
Where on earth did he get all this money?
Do you know his son's contact information?
Yes, but he has never picked up.
He hardly comes home anymore.
Captain Seo, it kind of stinks.
It's one's stash of
illegally obtained money.
Let's search the house.
If you're done here,
- check over there.
- Yes, sir.
Hey, boss.
How come you couldn't top
the virtue power gauge?
I assisted in traffic control,
helped promote the police,
and even volunteered at a welfare facility.
I did lots of work!
Nothing will come out
of those trivial tasks.
Either help spirits or drive them away.
Or save a human's life.
Only good deeds of great magnitude
can get virtue power stacking.
I'm not a police for spirits,
but a civil police officer.
Don't ask for too much.
By the way, have you
finished cleaning the studio?
Is that why you're eating and resting?
We were just about to get cleaning.
Guys, let's go.
Only the boss works around here.
You call this a functioning company?
Gosh.
I'm going to improve my public image,
earn big bucks with my new found fame,
and leave for that place.
Today, ten billion won
in cash was dug up
from a yard attached to a private home.
After searching the residence,
the police are now under the impression
that it's the money stashed
by the home owner's son
which was earned through his
illegal online gambling site
known as Black Hit.
- Ten?
- Ten?
- Ten?
- Ten billion won!
Billion? What
I can't believe I lost my chance
to uncover that money myself!
If only I followed Officer Ko
when she escorted him home.
Also, the police have confirmed
a thorough investigation into
illegal gambling sites.
Who's that?
Darn it.
Mr. Cha, it's your turn
to help walk people home.
I worked hard today.
Can't I take a night off?
Okay, fine.
Civil police shouldn't be this busy.
Many drops make a shower.
Get going.
Whatever your intentions are,
the residents like seeing you
which makes me happy.
(Civil Police Unit)
To be honest,
I was grateful for the buffet.
You must've spent a lot.
The guy with ten billion won
probably ate there as well.
I flashed my money around
in front of a billionaire.
I see you saw the news.
This entire ordeal must've
shaken Mr. Kim to the core.
Mr. Cha, why don't you get going, then?
I don't think I can go home
without paying him a visit.
Then, I'll come with you.
It'll be nice to listen
to their problems
and spread the warmth.
That was unexpected.
Sure. Let's do it. It's this way.
Who knows?
More money could be hidden there.
Give me back my money!
I don't have any. They took it all.
Where's your son? Tell us right now!
- I
- As his father,
you should compensate us
for what your son took!
The door's open.
Mr. Kim?
Is he outside?
Mr. Kim?
Why you
What do you think you're doing?
You'll hurt him.
Who is this punk? Get out of the way.
Such insolence!
You darn pests.
You should've known that
harming my Chosen Pupil
would bring death upon you!
My gosh.
I'll skin each and every one of you!
- Please don't kill us.
- Please
Please spare our lives.
- That's enough.
- What?
Why are you even here?
Well Isn't it obvious?
I came to monitor you.
I was wondering
why you haven't been able
to gain enough virtue power.
How could you when you engage
in fistfights with these pests?
I was trying to help the old man.
What?
Mr. Kim, I saved you, didn't I?
- Mr. Cha
- I
Did you say, "Mr. Kim"?
Are you referring to Mr. Kim Sun Bok?
That's right.
Oh, no.
(Police)
Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim
Mr. Cha, call for an ambulance.
(Civil Police Unit)
My gosh!
Why haven't you moved on?
How can I when my son
has been wreaking havoc?
I'm too upset to move on from this life.
Your staying won't make your son
turn over a new leaf.
Just get going, sir.
Who are you talking to?
- Is it Mr. Kim?
- Yes.
His son is keeping him
from entering Nirvana.
Then
Is he fully aware of the situation he's in?
He is.
After death, one's illness disappears.
He's perfectly lucid.
To know that this happened
when he couldn't do anything
must upset him even more.
Officer Ko knows exactly how I feel.
If we find his son and
lead him down the right path,
Mr. Kim will be able to move on
free of heartache.
What if we help him?
What
She's quite the jokester, isn't she?
Good night, then.
Ouch!
What the
Don't be ridiculous.
Of course you should help.
Darn it. Why did you hit me?
Solve something big.
Kill 4 birds with 1 stone.
If you help his son,
four spirits including those victims
will enter Nirvana.
Darn.
Did someone hit you just now?
Don't ask!
Just like these men,
I once was addicted to gambling.
It cost me my business and my life savings.
I even lost the money my wife
earned working as a housekeeper.
Her death and my son running away
are the results of my sins.
As an act of penance,
I earned what I could
and made regular donations
to a gambling rehab center.
It must've moved the heavens because,
after 20 years of doing so,
my son came back home.
At first, it was nice,
what with his buying a house and
building a senior citizen center.
But not long after, I noticed a difference.
He'd only come home at night
and spend time only in the yard.
You should've talked some sense into him!
- Exactly.
- He's right.
Around that time,
my mind started to give in.
And I had no idea
that he was making money through gambling.
You get what you deserve.
You reap what you sow.
You're right. Gambling is what
he saw me doing as a boy,
so who do I have to blame but myself?
I'm glad you know that.
Mr. Cha.
What have you been talking about?
Mr. Kim used to be a gambling addict too
and he blames himself for this outcome.
I see.
Can you cut the sob story short
and tell us something
that'll help us with the case?
Be nicer!
Mr. Kim, I ask for your understanding.
I know he's a jerk,
but he's the only person
that can be of help right now.
What the
Dance all night
Boss, shouldn't you be
at the meeting upstairs?
I put the wheels in motion.
What more must I do?
I'm on vacation for the
first time in 2,000 years.
Aris.
(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)
Out of that ten billion won,
100 million is mine.
I'm here to retrieve my own money.
You just confessed to
engaging in illegal gambling.
Return your money, my foot.
If a game is rigged, people like me
are considered a victim of match-fixing.
Match-fixing? Where's your proof?
I noticed a pattern, you see.
After I win 1 million won,
I'd lose 5 million.
Then when I win 2 million won,
I'd lose 10 million.
The win-lose ratio is exactly 1 to 5.
How is this not rigged?
It can only mean that they're
aware of the cards in my hand!
How did you first come across this website?
It's for secret members only.
So here's the deal.
Mr. Bald of the gambling house
connected gamblers
to an online gambling site.
That's it!
- Same here.
- Me too.
Darn parasites.
Eternal torture is what they should get.
What now?
Okay, let's do this.
- What the
- Hey!
- Someone stop her!
- Seriously?
We need a plan first.
This is the plan.
- Come on!
- Stop that!
- Take that!
- Hey!
- Stop it.
- Come on!
Identify yourself. You two look new.
Where did you play?
- You have some nerve
- Come on.
Hey. Sorry about that.
Don't mind her.
She's only here to bankroll me.
A financial backer?
Raccoon showed us the way.
As for the money
I have this much.
Two will enter.
- Don't you dare!
- As if!
- Keep it coming.
- Deal, darn it!
- Seriously?
- I won this pot!
Here. Read it and weep.
- What the
- Darn it.
He's got nothing.
I have a pair over here.
A heart flush.
That's 2 million won.
I'll now raise you 10 million.
A ten gives him a straight.
She has quads. Fold.
I'll fold.
She has nothing right now.
I'm taking a break.
- You should take five as well.
- Why would I
when I'm on a roll?
My gosh. Honey, your legs must have cramps.
Take a break, will you?
Right.
I'll sit out for one game, then.
Until when are you going to play?
We need to capture Mr. Bald.
Hold your horses. He'll come to us
as long as we keep winning.
But he
- Waiter.
- Sir?
The one with the goatee.
He looks like a professional.
- Have one of ours handle him.
- Sure thing.
Goodness.
The pot here must be entertaining.
Finally.
Have a seat. I've been wiped clean today.
Same here. I've been wiped clean too.
The new guy must be good.
Let's see what you can do.
What a jerk. He has a hidden card.
It gives him a seven-high straight flush.
Oh, dear!
Are you kidding me?
I'm such a klutz.
- Are you all right?
- Be careful, will you?
The woman's in on it.
I see an ace of spades.
There's no way you can win.
What's going on?
Mr. Cha needs an ace of spades to win,
but that woman hid it in her purse.
We need to upend this whole game.
Why? You said it's in her purse.
We just need to grab it.
And doing so is our specialty.
Mr. Cha, are you ready?
Go.
A Reum.
- Okay.
- Strike.
Gosh, my back.
- Be careful, will you?
- Darn it.
All-in.
- Call.
- All right.
Let's compare hands, then.
It's too bad.
I have a straight flush.
I doubt you have a royal straight flush,
so I'll enjoy the win.
Not so fast.
That's too bad.
I'm afraid
you were right to doubt.
A royal straight flush.
Nicely done.
What on earth? This isn't possible.
How did this happen?
What the
What do you mean it's not possible?
There's always a
0.0032 percent possibility.
What?
Darn it.
That was a close one.
Anyway, good job, guys.
Considering all the tricks we do,
this one was basic.
Why don't I get going, then?
You're quite good.
Where do you normally frequent?
Here and there.
I know a game that is of higher stakes.
How high is it?
Unlimited.
Wait. Unlimited?
There is a website that accommodates
gamblers from around the world.
What do you say? Are you interested?
How could I not be?
Leave your phone number here
and you'll receive a text
ten minutes before the games begin.
You can make your entrance then.
Stay where you are. This is the police!
Stop what you're doing. This is the police!
You are under arrest
on charges of illegal gambling.
Get down on the ground.
Run!
(From Now On, Showtime!)
I can't believe we did that. It was crazy.
Which island is this?
That's Boruboru Island.
It's my retirement plan.
So the reason you help people
is to keep your distance from them?
Take a better look.
What's your relationship
with Cha Cha Woong?
Is it me or him?
Are you seeing anyone?
Did Officer Ko draw this?
This Hold on.
I just hope that you don't let go
of the people in your life.
I keep seeing her face everywhere
and her words constantly get to me.
There is a chance
that the two of them aren't
a gift in each other's lives.

(Episode 3)
I can do this.
Smile.
Hello, Cha Cha Woong. I made some food.
Ta-Da!
My. Did I wake you up?
I'm sorry.
Oh, right. I'm here to give this to you.
So this is
Please give this to your employees.
It has bossam up here and short ribs here.
There's also buchimgae
and tteokbokki.
You don't have to
glare at me like that.
I told you
It's not for you.
It's for your employees.
I told you never to show up again
Why
Gosh!
Hey, Mr. Cha Cha Woong. Excuse me. My gosh.
He's burning up. What's going on?
I should take you to the hospital. Hold on.
Hang on. I'll carry you on my back.
My goodness. You can't even walk.
Hold on.
Wait, the door.
We're here. Your bed is right here.
No, not that way. Come here.
Right here. Lie down.
Lie down. My goodness!
He's so heavy. Gosh, my back.
No
Oh, no.
You're sick as a dog.
Gosh, you're burning up.
Hey.
Yes. What is it?
That's right. Do you want a cold compress?
- Oh, should I call an ambulance?
- No
What do you need?
Just
get out.
Come on. Don't worry.
I'm not so heartless.
It's not that. I feel like
I'd actually die if you stayed.
You should take a fever reducer first.
It's in the living room cabinet.
It must be in here.
Found it.
Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul.
They must be his ghost employees.
If you eat well before you die,
you look great even as a spirit.
- No!
- Goodness.
She totally scared me. Who is she?
Oh, my apologies.
I'm just not used to it yet. That's all.
What? Can she see me?
Well
- Who are you? Can you see me?
- I hope you like the food.
- Can she see me or what?
- Thank you so much for everything.
- Hey, can you see me?
- Thanks to you,
I managed to catch the hit-and-run driver.
What? She can't see me.
"Hit-and-run"? What do you mean?
I'm sorry, but could I
ask you for another favour?
What is it?
We're looking for citizens
to join our civil police unit.
We'd love to have Mr. Cha and
his employees on the team.
It'd be of tremendous help to us
in ensuring citizens' safety
and preventing crime.
A civil police unit? What is this about?
Oh, I forgot.
I have to give him this medicine.
Well
Please let Mr. Cha know and
see if you can persuade him.
Take your time and enjoy the food.
What?
That rude brat helped the police?
She looks young, but she's a great cook.
Did you take it?
Here, let me put this on your forehead.
It's fine.
Aren't you late for work?
If you have no special talent,
you should at least be diligent.
I'm a cop.
It is my job to ensure
citizens' well-being and safety.
Well, and
especially knowing how much
you care for your neighbours,
I can't just turn around and walk away.
Right?
What are you talking about?
Oh, my. I feel so much better now.
That's right. You brat!
I heard you helped this lady cop
catch a hit-and-run driver
and are joining a civil police unit
or something like that.
- What?
- "I don't trust people,"
"and I don't want to help anyone."
Didn't you say that to me?
Then why did you help this lady?
Why must you refuse to accept me
as your worshipping spirit?
Are you two seeing each other or something?
Goodness. Stop talking nonsense.
"Civil police unit"? What's that about?
Gosh, I told you to take your time
and enjoy your food.
Well, I was going to ask you about it.
You see, I've been doing some thinking.
Your abilities.
Isn't it such a waste to just
use them for magic tricks?
You see, the most frustrating thing
about homicide investigations
is that the dead can't talk.
However, you can communicate with the dead.
And your employees are perfectly suited
for undercover operations.
So my point is,
if we join forces like this,
we can catch all the bad guys out there.
Well, I know.
I knew you'd get mad at me.
I thought about only asking your employees,
but I have no means of
communicating with them,
so I really need you.
This is for walking me to my bed.
This is for the medicine and cold compress.
And this is for the food you brought today.
Now, we're even.
I don't owe you anything, right?
Get out.
I can't believe this.
What do you take me for?
You know what?
They say you can pay off your debt
with thoughtful words,
but you make me want to curse you
even when you're throwing money around.
That young lady is a
good judge of character.
Why would you use words instead of money
to pay off your debt?
Words can't replace money.
Fine. I'll be off, then.
My words probably
don't mean anything to you,
but I have to say this before I go.
Thank you.
Thanks to your help,
I managed to catch the culprit,
and Min Ho can rest in peace now.
Thank you very much.
(Virtue Power)
What? I didn't do anything.
Why did this suddenly appear?
- Did you do something?
- No, I did not.
Get out. Go.
(Virtue Power)
Next news.
Police arrested the culprit
in the kidnapping and murder
of a woman in her 50s
in South Chungcheong Province.
In a statement released
by Seoan Police Station,
the police stated that the culprit,
Shin, picked up the victim
Hi, you're here.
Working the night shift is not easy.
Go sleep at home.
I wasn't dozing off.
I was watching the news.
Police also found tools that may
have been used as murder weapons.
Shin has been arrested as the
prime suspect in the murder,
and police are currently
investigating his motive and
Good morning, guys!
- Good morning.
- Hello.
Officer Ko, how's everything coming along
for the civil police unit?
Police rushed to the scene
after checking security footage, but
Chief.
May I take today off?
Did you come in to ask for a day off?
It makes no sense.
Sure, go ahead.
Yong Ryul, you can cover for her.
Chief, it's my day off today.
Just cover for her.
I'm sorry, Yong Ryul. I owe you one.
- Bye.
- Wait!
- Bye.
- Officer Ko!
Come on, Yong Ryul.
Try to understand.
Her father died in the line of duty
while investigating the Full Moon Murder,
you know.
She became a cop to catch the culprit.
Didn't the culprit die back then?
I heard the killer drowned in the sea.
But we never found the culprit's body.
So whenever she hears
about a similar case
or sees someone who looks like
the face in the composite,
she still chases them like that.
Even though nothing has come out of it
for the past ten years?
Have you ever seen her give up on anything?
Besides, this is the one case
she's been dying to solve.
She won't give up until she
sees for herself that the culprit is dead.
I guess Officer Ko was here.
Tteokbokki, braised short ribs, and bossam.
My, it looks delicious.
What's wrong with this?
It tastes like dirt.
It tastes like gum someone's
been chewing for days.
Someone already sucked
all the vital energy out of these.
Who? The 2,000-year-old newbie?
Darn, I can't take this anymore!
Calm down. You saw what he could do.
Come on. He's not the only dead guy here!
I really can't take this anymore.
Calm down. What can you do?
You know that his powers trump ours.
He's the spirit that
Mr. Cha's family used to worship.
That's the Cha family's problem!
We're Mr. Cha's employees,
not the Cha family's slaves!
Unbelievable. I can't help but scoff
at this ridiculous situation.
How insolent!
How dare you laugh at me?
I never laughed at you.
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's not this way.
He's over there. In the room.
Darn it. Come out!
Hey, lower your voice.
- Tell him to come out.
- What?
I really can't take this anymore.
You mean, me?
No, that 2,000-year-old jerk.
Really?
Forget it.
I told you. Right here.
You can go on about it,
but I'm really out of it right now.
The medicine will kick in soon,
so let's talk when my fever breaks.
No medicine can help you.
What do you mean?
You're sick because I put a curse on you.
On purpose.
What? You put a curse on me?
How could you do this to me
just because I wouldn't listen to you?
It's what a thug would do, not a spirit!
I can do this because I'm a spirit.
I'm not some swindler!
Darn you.
You.
If you don't do as I say,
I will never lift this curse.
You put this curse on me,
so you must know
that I'm in no state to listen
to your spiel about "virtue power".
Goodness.
Fine, okay. Hold on a moment.
How do you feel? You feel fine now, right?
What?
Oh, yes.
Darn you!
Gosh.
- Hey, listen.
- Goodness.
The moment when that lady cop thanked you,
your virtue power level went up like this.
(Virtue)
What is "virtue power" anyway?
It's like an index that shows
how much of your bad karma
you've gotten rid of
by doing virtuous deeds.
When I perform exorcisms
through my Chosen Pupil and help people,
my virtue power level goes up.
When it fills the entire fan,
I will enter the eternal paradise.
I told you. I'd rather die
than become a shaman.
Have you not been listening at all?
You don't have to become a shaman
to gain more virtue power.
Join the civil police unit
she mentioned earlier.
All you have to do is make her thank you.
Ko Seul Hae? Why? She's a nobody.
Hey, that cop has one heck
of a seven-star channel.
It goes all the way up to the sky.
I've never seen such a clear
seven-star channel before.
"Seven-star channel"?
Doesn't it mean she's either psychic
or is fated to become a shaman?
Come on. Up until a few days ago,
she kept insisting that
there's no such thing as ghosts.
No, it's a channel through which
the sky sends down
its wishes to this realm.
It doesn't mean she has to become a shaman.
She is fated to follow the skies' wishes.
So it's basically
like a hotline to reach the skies,
and hers is much stronger
than what most shamans have.
When she's touched, so are the skies.
Even if I don't become a shaman,
you can accumulate more virtue power.
That's right!
Now, we're talking.
It's a good thing for you because
you don't have to become a shaman.
And I don't have to sit inside your body
and do all the work.
The universe is helping me out
so I can relax
and take it easy for a change!
So in other words,
you're going to make me do all the work.
Sorry to disappoint you,
but I don't like to help others
when there's nothing in it for me.
Hey, wait.
That rude brat
This is not good.
"Possibility."
Like the line from a movie,
a blank page in a book is often the one
that is filled with endless possibilities.
My gosh.
I don't see any ghosts.
How does he do that?
He's like a ghost.
My gosh!
Oh, sorry.
You'd better listen to me and do it
while I'm still nice to you.
Join the civil police unit.
Don't talk to me. I'm working right now.
Me too. Your body is like my office.
I never hired an employee like you.
Like I said, your ancestors
signed an eternal
employment contract with me.
Next up is the hottest
magician of the moment.
I heard he prepared a
special show for today.
Please welcome the Fiery Magician,
Cha Cha Woong.
("God of Magic")
Then as your new employer,
I shall deal with this accordingly.
You've been let go.
You're fired as of today.
You are fired.
What? "Fired"?
That little brat.
I must teach him a real lesson.
- My gosh!
- What was that?
It's hot!
Stop.
Juggle!
This is incredible.
- My gosh.
- This is insane.
- Oh, my.
- I can't believe this.
What's wrong, Mr. Cha?
What do you want us to do?
My back.
Your back? Come over here, guys.
No, down.
- Down!
- Down!
No!
- His buttocks are on fire!
- What?
- For real?
- The fire extinguisher!
It's hot!
My gosh, it's hot!
It's hot!
Make way!
Darn it.
That's the end of my show.
A young calf is sitting on the stage
And crying
- Fire!
- Mom!
- Mom!
- Fire!
My buttocks are blazing hot!
- Hot!
- Hot!
- It's hot! It's so hot!
- It's hot!
Is it fun making jokes
out of someone's livelihood?
Making jokes?
I'm dead serious and desperate.
If you're trying to
suck the life out of me,
just kill me in a
car accident this instant.
I can't possibly do that.
This body will be mine.
I can't let it get a scratch.
Hands off.
So do as I tell you
if you don't want to go out of business.
A young calf is sitting on the stage
Hi.
I'm Madam Shaman Na Geum Ok's
one and only granddaughter,
Cheon Ye Ji.
Madam Shaman Na Geum Ok's granddaughter?
And?
I came to deliver some things
and to make a proposal.
These belonged to the late Mr. Shaman.
Hey, why are you laying them out?
I don't need them,
so take them back.
Did you just kick my portrait?
Could you be General Spirit Choi Geom?
What? Can you see him too?
No, but I can feel him.
Hello, General Spirit!
I am Madam Shaman Na Geum Ok's
granddaughter and pupil,
Cheon Ye Ji, 20 years old.
It's an honour to meet you.
See that? She says it's an honour.
That's how great I am.
You're a shaman too?
Goodness, this isn't where ghosts, shamans,
and spirits have get-togethers.
Whatever. Just leave.
I'll trade these or whatever.
Hey, why would you do that?
He must've lost it.
I'm not done with my business.
You'll love my proposal.
- What is it?
- Well
Why don't we get married?
What?
The granddaughter of Na Geum Ok,
this era's best madam shaman,
and the grandson of the
legendary Mr. Shaman
get together.
I'm not going to become a shaman!
- It hurts.
- Leave! Go!
Gosh, he's not as ambitious as he looks.
I've got a lot to teach him.
So you're Chief Nam Sang Gun,
the big guy's Director Ma Dong Chul,
the youngest is Kang A Reum,
and that disrespectful punk is the boss?
Yes. Those are the members
of our Magic Factory.
Gosh.
Then what should I be?
Excuse me?
I can't be without a title
when I'm a part of the company now.
But being called General or
Spirit doesn't sit right.
Brother, I did some thinking.
How about captain or section head?
Aren't both lower than you?
- What?
- Listen,
you don't have experience
in the magic field.
He's right.
Are you feeling better?
I've already released more than I can.
Know when to stop.
With the amount of energy you have to talk,
you still have a long way to go.
That's serious torture.
That's it! Adviser!
What?
An adviser advises the company
based on their rich knowledge
and experience, right?
Yes, correct.
And as you can see, I'm an expert
at torturing the mind and the body.
An adviser is perfect. Adviser Choi!
Yes, nothing can be better.
- Adviser.
- Adviser Choi.
Yes, Adviser Choi.
The best adviser.
(Civil Police Recruitment Notice)
We're recruiting civil police officers.
I'll leave one here. Bye.
We're recruiting civil police officers.
I don't need one.
We're recruiting civil police officers.
The recruitment period is short,
so please read it.
(Recruited Civil Police Officers: 0 People)
This is driving me nuts.
Trying to win, are you?
Not a chance.
Another round.
Mr. Cha, can you work in that state?
How about resigning from "God of Magic"?
Nonsense.
Do you know how much I can earn
from shooting commercials during the show?
I'm holding out, period.
Goodness.
Oh, my.
- It's Lee Eun Gyeol.
- My hair finishes my style.
The moment your magical hair enwraps you.
It's smoother tomorrow
- than today.
- Something like that!
- Don't forget.
- I should take those from him.
If I beat him with my skills
during the show,
all those commercials will become
You get commercial offers
from favourability, not skills.
And you'd never win against
Lee Eun Gyeol even if you tried.
Why?
He's on top of the
trending searches all day long.
Starting a few years ago,
he's been financially supporting
open-heart surgeries
for more than 100 kids.
And in secret at that.
When this became public,
everyone fell in love with him.
I read that too.
The letter a patient's mom
sent to the newspaper company.
Gosh, I cried.
He should've just kept it a secret.
Why reveal it now of all times?
I see.
Lee Eun Gyeol's a lot
smarter than I thought.
Not everyone's like you.
Unlike many youngsters these days,
Lee Eun Gyeol's a good man.
So I put my writing skills to good use.
Were you moved by it?
You sent it? My gosh.
- Unbelievable.
- Listen, Lee Eun Gyeol
signed commercial contracts
for a bank, beer,
and even an apartment.
What? Really?
You'll end up as
Lee Eun Gyeol's sidekick
if you don't resign from the show.
Will I let someone else take credit
when I'm going through all this?
Over my dead body.
Favourability? Let's see.
If I shoot three commercials
Hold on.
If per episode, it's
And if I multiply three by this number
Oh, my gosh.
I've decided.
Let's go.
Na Eun, aren't we friends?
Come on, join the civil police unit.
I beg you.
Who? Cha Cha Woong?
I did ask him.
But don't get me started.
So what if he's a member of society?
I can't communicate with him at all.
As if the cat got his tongue,
he won't thank me for taking
care of him when he was sick.
He only keeps going on about money
and how he'll pay me back
with the same kindness.
Talk about being rude.
Officer Ko, Mr. Cha Cha Woong is
I'm talking about him right now.
I've never met anyone more self-centered
and crazy about money than him in my life.
Do you think he'd agree to become
a civil police officer? No way.
He's doing it. Cha Cha Woong agreed.
Forget it.
It's us who will refuse
Who agreed to it?
I did.
I'll do it. The civil police officer.
So the new senior adviser
demands Magic Factory to become
a social enterprise?
That's not the main reason.
The main reason is to gain
the public's favour
by exposing my volunteer activities
as much as possible.
So you'll use it to free yourself
and to bring in money?
Sir, the window?
Why?
Let's work hard together! We can do it!
Thank you!
Stop it.
What a rude jerk.
(Kangguk Police Department)
That little
What?
I knew it! See that?
It went up because she thanked us.
(Virtue Power)
You made a wise decision.
I commend you.
Commend? I'm doing it for myself,
not to get praised by the likes of you.
Hey, I'm a spirit. Watch your mouth.
From now on, call me Adviser Choi.
If not
You know what'll happen, right?
Anyway, I'm going to take back
all the money Lee Eun Gyeol got.
So don't get in my way.
Adviser Choi.
What?
Cha Cha Woong agreed to
the civil police unit?
Yes, that's right.
If it's Cha Cha Woong,
TV stations and journalists
will come even before we ask them to.
The fates are helping you
advance to the National Assembly.
It's about time.
- By the way,
- Yes?
why are you still here?
Go and make the preparations
for the kick-off ceremony.
We're still short on the members.
This is our chance.
Are you going to waste it?
Fill up the vacant spots
with whoever you can.
We need to hold the ceremony
before Cha Cha Woong changes his mind!
Understood!
Hurry up and move!
To prevent crimes
and promote the community,
Kangguk Police Department has
launched a civil police unit.
A round of applause!
To celebrate this moment
as the police and citizens become one,
I, Seo Chang Ho,
will work to develop our community
Isn't he Cha Cha Woong?
- It is!
- Oh, my gosh.
- For our citizens
- My goodness.
- You're handsome!
- I can't believe it.
What do I do?
- You're so good-looking!
- I believe
Kangguk Police Department can do it.
Thank you to those who came
to the kick-off ceremony
of Kangguk Police Department's
civil police unit.
As the chief of police,
I will work harder than anyone else.
A round of applause!
- Oh, my.
- I still can't believe it.
(Civil Police)
(Civil Police Unit)
Here. The citizens are delighted
to have you participate.
It's a befitting response.
That's what I'm here for.
Right.
Chief, I'm the one who recruited Mr. Cha.
I did a good job, didn't I?
I didn't know that.
I heard how much you cared about this,
so I tried my very best.
Please leave it to me even from now on.
Since we had the kick-off ceremony,
you can carry on with your other duties.
- What?
- No way.
I have no reason to do this without Ms. Ko.
She has to, and I repeat,
has to be a part of this.
Is that so?
I didn't know you two were that close.
Okay, Seul Hae. I know you're busy,
but please help them out.
I leave it to you.
I was only worried it'd wear you out.
Of course, Chief.
Don't worry.
I'll do a good job.
Great.
Move.
(Civil Police)
Just a moment, please.
Now then, members of the civil police unit,
there will be self-defence training soon.
Why does that punk have a long face?
We will start a simple
self-defence training
just in case.
First, you're walking down the street
when an armed man
suddenly grabs the back of your neck.
This is how you can escape.
I need a volunteer.
Mr. Cha?
Do you mind?
Me?
Okay, grab the back of my neck.
Are you sure?
With so many eyes on us,
I'm worried you'd lose face.
Go ahead.
(The First Kangguk Police Department
Civil Police Unit Kick-off Ceremony)
In a situation like this, do not panic.
Turn your body towards your opponent,
grab their arm and collar,
and flip them over.
My gosh.
He's so cool.
Lastly, subdue them.
Let's watch the whole move again.
Wait. I haven't prepared my heart yet.
- Here I go.
- Hold on.
- Goodness.
- Hey.
Is he okay?
This is how you break away.
Easy, isn't it?
No.
(Kangguk Police Department)
Darn it.
Does it hurt a lot?
Does he even know how much I'm worth?
Of course, he does.
- But who knew you'd be this weak?
- Weak?
I made it out in one piece
because I worked out a ton.
If it were someone else,
they would have a dislocated arm.
He's unnecessarily strong.
Right? He's stronger than he looks.
He may look like a model
with how slim he is,
but he won a gold medal at
the national judo competition.
You'll be able to make good use
- of the self-defence move
- I won't.
You do know my motto
as civil police, right?
Work short and effortlessly
but impressively.
I won't step foot in any
dangerous situations.
What about this?
Here.
Grab
and flip.
This is nothing to show off.
- Mr. Cha.
- Gosh, you scared me!
Knock, will you?
I'm hungry.
Can you order some fried chicken?
What's with that?
This?
I was thinking of martial arts
for our next show's concept.
So I was practicing.
You should've told me.
Though I may look like this,
I was a gangster.
You can't ask for a
better practice partner.
Come at me.
What are you doing?
Stop. Let go!
But I'm not doing anything!
It hurts! My wrist hurts!
I'm sure I used the right moves.
- Stand behind me.
- What?
Come on.
Once you've turned,
use your elbows, then your buttocks.
Okay, one more time. Get up.
No, I'm good.
This is enough, so leave.
Why? It's been ages
since I worked out, and it's fun.
Good job, then. Now, leave. Out!
Got it.
Just don't forget to order a fried chicken.
Mr. Cha.
Mr. Cha?
Exhausting, isn't it? Here you go.
Gosh, thank you.
And who may you be?
Me? A part-timer.
A part-timer?
Hired by whom?
Oh, that guy. Him over there.
What the
Darn, that's cold!
Seriously? Are you insane?
Even though you're supposed
to be volunteering,
I saw you wearing shades, lounging around,
and sipping on a beverage
outside a convenience store.
I figured you needed another cool beverage.
Why should I waste my energy
when no one can see my face?
You said you knew how much I was worth.
Doing that could lead
to exhaustion and injuries.
How inefficient is that?
Like I told you,
my motto as a member of the
civil police unit is this.
Work short and effortlessly
but impressively.
That I know!
I'm fully aware that you
charge by the second.
It's why I acted efficiently.
In a short, effortless, but impressive way.
Wait!
Stop the video.
What's the name of the
maiden with the blonde hair?
Oh, her. Her name is Aris.
Aris. Look how pretty you are.
My eyes are now purified.
Boss I mean, Adviser Choi.
You sure know how to pick them.
Aris is huge at the moment.
A while ago, it was Suzy.
Play the video again.
Sure thing.
Hey.
You must now know this
since all you did is study before dying,
but being in a gang is all
about knowing who to serve.
I'm choosing to serve Geom.
You should join me.
Mr. Choi,
this must be your first time
watching a girl group perform.
When would I have had the time to watch TV?
To fend off puny spirits, do exorcisms,
and return husbands having affairs,
I ran up mountains and across fields
to gain virtue power.
Absolutely!
Adviser Choi.
Adviser Choi?
I hear something coming from your fan.
Oh.
Unbelievable. That's all you gained again?
That little brat.
Why hasn't he been able
to gain enough virtue power?
(My Final Words)
- It's Black Hit.
- Again?
What is with people and online gambling?
So many have already
taken their own lives
after losing their life savings.
Was there any word from Cyber Division?
The administrator running the
site seems highly intelligent.
Let's start off by tracking
his bank account transactions.
This is good.
- It's good.
- Please have your fill, sir.
(Ladies and Gentlemen,
Enjoy the Food and Be Healthy)
Ma'am, what is with the buffet?
Isn't it supposed to be a soup kitchen?
Mr. Cha Cha Woong called
a catering service.
The elders are ecstatic to say the least.
(Magician Cha Cha Woong
wishes the elders the best!)
- Ouch.
- Sorry.
- Aren't you cold?
- Keep fanning.
Mr. Cha.
Leave it there.
Why are there so many air vents
at a tiny senior citizen center?
No way. As if I'd let you get me again.
Are you for real?
You must be sincerely touched.
We must do the volunteer work ourselves.
I personally called the catering service
and signed off on the purchase myself.
You hired a part-timer to
wear the mascot costume
and ordered a buffet for the elderly.
You can't solve everything with money!
Serving the elderly the food
isn't about just providing
them with a meal.
We sit with them as they eat
and listen to their problems.
We're supposed to share the warmth!
Rather than holding their hands
and encouraging them by catching clouds,
I feel like they'd
appreciate a fancy buffet
that's too expensive
for them to enjoy again.
What do you think? I have a point, right?
If you're going to thank me,
I'd rather you do it fast.
But I'm not grateful at all.
For some reason,
you keep wanting me to thank you.
Who brings a parasol
to a place where they are volunteering at?
Come down this instant.
I can't.
You need to thank me.
- No way. You can't.
- Let me.
Opening it will let out all the cold air.
It's too hot for me!
Stop. You can't do this.
- Move over.
- But it's hot.
It's too hot outside.
You'll only catch a cold.
Darn it. My son built
this building for me, you know.
Who are you to stop me from
enjoying a cold breeze?
That's exactly why I'm stopping you.
You don't want to waste money
on the electricity bill.
It must cost a lot to keep a
fridge of this size running.
Whatever. Just shut it!
I'm going home.
- Unbelievable.
- Darn.
Was this building
constructed by Mr. Kim's son?
That's right.
He won't stop bragging about his son.
Why does he live alone though?
Where is his son?
Who knows? None of us has ever seen him.
What good does getting him a building do
when the son walked out
on his father who has dementia?
Mr. Kim?
Mr. Kim!
Are you leaving so soon?
Why don't you make up with the lady
and stay for some fun?
No!
That darn brat.
She has no respect for her elders.
Mr. Kim
Mr. Cha, it seems like
Mr. Kim needs a ride home.
- Did you bring your car?
- Mr. Cha, this way.
We can't take a photo without you.
- Ma'am, this way.
- Oh, of course.
I'm sorry about this,
but Chief Seo needs me over there.
Of course this is something he'd gladly do.
You can stand in the center.
Mr. Kim, allow me to escort you home.
(Magician Cha Cha Woong
wishes the elders the best!)
We're here, Mr. Kim.
Head inside and get some rest.
How sweet of you.
Take this
and buy yourself a snack.
Mr. Kim,
where on earth did you get this money?
I dug it up.
You dug up the money?
I harvest money from my yard.
Why don't I show you? Huh?
But
Right here?
See?
It's like harvesting sweet potatoes.
But
It's another bumper
harvest of money this year.
My gosh. What on earth
Over here. We have more!
Carefully, search every inch of this yard!
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
This must be about ten billion won.
Ten billion won?
Where on earth did he get all this money?
Do you know his son's contact information?
Yes, but he has never picked up.
He hardly comes home anymore.
Captain Seo, it kind of stinks.
It's one's stash of
illegally obtained money.
Let's search the house.
If you're done here,
- check over there.
- Yes, sir.
Hey, boss.
How come you couldn't top
the virtue power gauge?
I assisted in traffic control,
helped promote the police,
and even volunteered at a welfare facility.
I did lots of work!
Nothing will come out
of those trivial tasks.
Either help spirits or drive them away.
Or save a human's life.
Only good deeds of great magnitude
can get virtue power stacking.
I'm not a police for spirits,
but a civil police officer.
Don't ask for too much.
By the way, have you
finished cleaning the studio?
Is that why you're eating and resting?
We were just about to get cleaning.
Guys, let's go.
Only the boss works around here.
You call this a functioning company?
Gosh.
I'm going to improve my public image,
earn big bucks with my new found fame,
and leave for that place.
Today, ten billion won
in cash was dug up
from a yard attached to a private home.
After searching the residence,
the police are now under the impression
that it's the money stashed
by the home owner's son
which was earned through his
illegal online gambling site
known as Black Hit.
- Ten?
- Ten?
- Ten?
- Ten billion won!
Billion? What
I can't believe I lost my chance
to uncover that money myself!
If only I followed Officer Ko
when she escorted him home.
Also, the police have confirmed
a thorough investigation into
illegal gambling sites.
Who's that?
Darn it.
Mr. Cha, it's your turn
to help walk people home.
I worked hard today.
Can't I take a night off?
Okay, fine.
Civil police shouldn't be this busy.
Many drops make a shower.
Get going.
Whatever your intentions are,
the residents like seeing you
which makes me happy.
(Civil Police Unit)
To be honest,
I was grateful for the buffet.
You must've spent a lot.
The guy with ten billion won
probably ate there as well.
I flashed my money around
in front of a billionaire.
I see you saw the news.
This entire ordeal must've
shaken Mr. Kim to the core.
Mr. Cha, why don't you get going, then?
I don't think I can go home
without paying him a visit.
Then, I'll come with you.
It'll be nice to listen
to their problems
and spread the warmth.
That was unexpected.
Sure. Let's do it. It's this way.
Who knows?
More money could be hidden there.
Give me back my money!
I don't have any. They took it all.
Where's your son? Tell us right now!
- I
- As his father,
you should compensate us
for what your son took!
The door's open.
Mr. Kim?
Is he outside?
Mr. Kim?
Why you
What do you think you're doing?
You'll hurt him.
Who is this punk? Get out of the way.
Such insolence!
You darn pests.
You should've known that
harming my Chosen Pupil
would bring death upon you!
My gosh.
I'll skin each and every one of you!
- Please don't kill us.
- Please
Please spare our lives.
- That's enough.
- What?
Why are you even here?
Well Isn't it obvious?
I came to monitor you.
I was wondering
why you haven't been able
to gain enough virtue power.
How could you when you engage
in fistfights with these pests?
I was trying to help the old man.
What?
Mr. Kim, I saved you, didn't I?
- Mr. Cha
- I
Did you say, "Mr. Kim"?
Are you referring to Mr. Kim Sun Bok?
That's right.
Oh, no.
(Police)
Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim
Mr. Cha, call for an ambulance.
(Civil Police Unit)
My gosh!
Why haven't you moved on?
How can I when my son
has been wreaking havoc?
I'm too upset to move on from this life.
Your staying won't make your son
turn over a new leaf.
Just get going, sir.
Who are you talking to?
- Is it Mr. Kim?
- Yes.
His son is keeping him
from entering Nirvana.
Then
Is he fully aware of the situation he's in?
He is.
After death, one's illness disappears.
He's perfectly lucid.
To know that this happened
when he couldn't do anything
must upset him even more.
Officer Ko knows exactly how I feel.
If we find his son and
lead him down the right path,
Mr. Kim will be able to move on
free of heartache.
What if we help him?
What
She's quite the jokester, isn't she?
Good night, then.
Ouch!
What the
Don't be ridiculous.
Of course you should help.
Darn it. Why did you hit me?
Solve something big.
Kill 4 birds with 1 stone.
If you help his son,
four spirits including those victims
will enter Nirvana.
Darn.
Did someone hit you just now?
Don't ask!
Just like these men,
I once was addicted to gambling.
It cost me my business and my life savings.
I even lost the money my wife
earned working as a housekeeper.
Her death and my son running away
are the results of my sins.
As an act of penance,
I earned what I could
and made regular donations
to a gambling rehab center.
It must've moved the heavens because,
after 20 years of doing so,
my son came back home.
At first, it was nice,
what with his buying a house and
building a senior citizen center.
But not long after, I noticed a difference.
He'd only come home at night
and spend time only in the yard.
You should've talked some sense into him!
- Exactly.
- He's right.
Around that time,
my mind started to give in.
And I had no idea
that he was making money through gambling.
You get what you deserve.
You reap what you sow.
You're right. Gambling is what
he saw me doing as a boy,
so who do I have to blame but myself?
I'm glad you know that.
Mr. Cha.
What have you been talking about?
Mr. Kim used to be a gambling addict too
and he blames himself for this outcome.
I see.
Can you cut the sob story short
and tell us something
that'll help us with the case?
Be nicer!
Mr. Kim, I ask for your understanding.
I know he's a jerk,
but he's the only person
that can be of help right now.
What the
Dance all night
Boss, shouldn't you be
at the meeting upstairs?
I put the wheels in motion.
What more must I do?
I'm on vacation for the
first time in 2,000 years.
Aris.
(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)
Out of that ten billion won,
100 million is mine.
I'm here to retrieve my own money.
You just confessed to
engaging in illegal gambling.
Return your money, my foot.
If a game is rigged, people like me
are considered a victim of match-fixing.
Match-fixing? Where's your proof?
I noticed a pattern, you see.
After I win 1 million won,
I'd lose 5 million.
Then when I win 2 million won,
I'd lose 10 million.
The win-lose ratio is exactly 1 to 5.
How is this not rigged?
It can only mean that they're
aware of the cards in my hand!
How did you first come across this website?
It's for secret members only.
So here's the deal.
Mr. Bald of the gambling house
connected gamblers
to an online gambling site.
That's it!
- Same here.
- Me too.
Darn parasites.
Eternal torture is what they should get.
What now?
Okay, let's do this.
- What the
- Hey!
- Someone stop her!
- Seriously?
We need a plan first.
This is the plan.
- Come on!
- Stop that!
- Take that!
- Hey!
- Stop it.
- Come on!
Identify yourself. You two look new.
Where did you play?
- You have some nerve
- Come on.
Hey. Sorry about that.
Don't mind her.
She's only here to bankroll me.
A financial backer?
Raccoon showed us the way.
As for the money
I have this much.
Two will enter.
- Don't you dare!
- As if!
- Keep it coming.
- Deal, darn it!
- Seriously?
- I won this pot!
Here. Read it and weep.
- What the
- Darn it.
He's got nothing.
I have a pair over here.
A heart flush.
That's 2 million won.
I'll now raise you 10 million.
A ten gives him a straight.
She has quads. Fold.
I'll fold.
She has nothing right now.
I'm taking a break.
- You should take five as well.
- Why would I
when I'm on a roll?
My gosh. Honey, your legs must have cramps.
Take a break, will you?
Right.
I'll sit out for one game, then.
Until when are you going to play?
We need to capture Mr. Bald.
Hold your horses. He'll come to us
as long as we keep winning.
But he
- Waiter.
- Sir?
The one with the goatee.
He looks like a professional.
- Have one of ours handle him.
- Sure thing.
Goodness.
The pot here must be entertaining.
Finally.
Have a seat. I've been wiped clean today.
Same here. I've been wiped clean too.
The new guy must be good.
Let's see what you can do.
What a jerk. He has a hidden card.
It gives him a seven-high straight flush.
Oh, dear!
Are you kidding me?
I'm such a klutz.
- Are you all right?
- Be careful, will you?
The woman's in on it.
I see an ace of spades.
There's no way you can win.
What's going on?
Mr. Cha needs an ace of spades to win,
but that woman hid it in her purse.
We need to upend this whole game.
Why? You said it's in her purse.
We just need to grab it.
And doing so is our specialty.
Mr. Cha, are you ready?
Go.
A Reum.
- Okay.
- Strike.
Gosh, my back.
- Be careful, will you?
- Darn it.
All-in.
- Call.
- All right.
Let's compare hands, then.
It's too bad.
I have a straight flush.
I doubt you have a royal straight flush,
so I'll enjoy the win.
Not so fast.
That's too bad.
I'm afraid
you were right to doubt.
A royal straight flush.
Nicely done.
What on earth? This isn't possible.
How did this happen?
What the
What do you mean it's not possible?
There's always a
0.0032 percent possibility.
What?
Darn it.
That was a close one.
Anyway, good job, guys.
Considering all the tricks we do,
this one was basic.
Why don't I get going, then?
You're quite good.
Where do you normally frequent?
Here and there.
I know a game that is of higher stakes.
How high is it?
Unlimited.
Wait. Unlimited?
There is a website that accommodates
gamblers from around the world.
What do you say? Are you interested?
How could I not be?
Leave your phone number here
and you'll receive a text
ten minutes before the games begin.
You can make your entrance then.
Stay where you are. This is the police!
Stop what you're doing. This is the police!
You are under arrest
on charges of illegal gambling.
Get down on the ground.
Run!
(From Now On, Showtime!)
I can't believe we did that. It was crazy.
Which island is this?
That's Boruboru Island.
It's my retirement plan.
So the reason you help people
is to keep your distance from them?
Take a better look.
What's your relationship
with Cha Cha Woong?
Is it me or him?
Are you seeing anyone?
Did Officer Ko draw this?
This Hold on.
I just hope that you don't let go
of the people in your life.
I keep seeing her face everywhere
and her words constantly get to me.
There is a chance
that the two of them aren't
a gift in each other's lives.
