IN SAFE SITUATIONS.
[heavy music]
[Isoo] Is that real?
[visitors murmuring]
[visitor1] Is he dead?
[visitor2] Report to the police, quickly.
[visitor3] We should report it.
Everyone, calm down.
[dynamic music]
I'm a police officer.
Who's in charge of here?
[Dojun] I
am an assistant of professor Noh.
Block the gate.
The murderer is in here.
[visitors murmuring]
[Isoo] This
is a locked-room murder.
[phone ringing]
[Ganghyun tossing and turning]
[Ganghyun exhaling]
Hello.
I'm off today.
What?
You're doing what?
Crime scene preservation.
Come here right now.
[rhythmical music]
[call ending sound]
Oh.
[Isoo grunts]
Come in, come in.
[Ganghyun] Can't you stay calm
just for one day?
It's a murder case.
Artist Noh Youngjae was dead.
Come quickly.
Who is that?
You're lacking in common sense
Gosh
[visitors chattering]
[Isoo] He's famous
for "Life and Death" series.
The theme of this time is "Death."
He was lying dead over there.
It looked like a performance art.
People look angry.
No way.
They are willing to cooperate.
It's over there.
[mysterious music]
[Ganghyun] Paint?
[sighs]
[footsteps approaching]
[clears throat]
You found him?
[exhaling]
I felt it.
The feeling
that every case is following me.
- Like a fate?
- [Ganghyun] Kyungjin.
Get the visitors' number and let them go.
Okay.
[Isoo] Why?
[camera shutter sound]
Why, why?
The criminal is among them.
He's been dead for over ten hours.
How do you know?
I can see it from purple spots.
[Ganghyun] Rigor mortis has already set.
You think he'll understand it?
[Ganghyun] Yes, chief.
We confirmed the scene.
We'll take this case.
[phone vibrates]
[murmuring] Purple spots?
Violent Crime Investigation Team 1.
Yes, it's La Mente Gallery.
Okay.
[visitors murmuring]
Sorry. Please cooperate.
[camera shutter sound]
[dark music]
[footsteps approaching]
Hey, hey.
Get some water.
He's shocked.
"KWON DOJUN
NOH YOUNGJAE'S ASSISTANT"
[Ganghyun] When did you last see
Professor Noh?
Last night.
It was around 9:00 p.m.
[Dojun] I left work before him.
[Isoo] Why did you leave before him?
[tense music]
[Dojun] Oh, that's
On the night before an exhibition,
he usually works till late
to check the paintings.
- I'll get going, sir.
- Okay.
[Ganghyun] After 9:00 p.m.,
where did you go?
I went home and went to bed early.
Where do you live?
I live in Gangha-dong,
Dokdo Study Room.
Why? You're not preparing a test.
[Ganghyun sighs]
What time did you arrive here?
At around 8:00 a.m.
You got here two hours
before the gallery opened,
but didn't look around inside the hall?
Oh, that's
As soon as I got here,
[Dojun] I set up the catering
and called Mr. Noh.
But I couldn't reach him,
so I went to his house.
But he wasn't at home either.
[doorbell chimes]
On the way back to the gallery,
I had a fender bender.
[Dojun] Oh, sorry
So it was past 10:00 a.m. when I got here.
[whimpering] And
I never expected he had passed away.
[Dojun breathing]
[Ganghyun] Is there
anyone who could have a grudge
against Mr. Noh?
No.
He was a great artist and a great person.
[Dojun] So, he was popular among students.
Hey, hey.
[Isoo] We'd better stop.
You should go home and rest.
- You want to go to the hospital?
- No, I'm fine.
Okay.
Go get some rest.
We'll talk later at the station.
Go. Take care.
Gosh, you're sweating.
[Isoo sighs shallowly]
He's the criminal.
But you cared about him.
That was my plan.
[rhythmical music]
Bad cop, and a good cop.
This is not a movie.
It was all the same.
Chasing,
[engine revs]
[crashing]
[Isoo] fascinating actions,
and arresting the criminal in slow motion.
[sighs]
[director] Mr. Jin?
- Oh.
- [director] It's been a long time.
You know everyone in the world?
I told you, I'm a celebrity.
Ms. Lee,
you're still stylish, huh?
You're always so gentle.
"LEE HWAJUNG, GALLERY DIRECTOR"
[laughs]
Oh, this is my leader.
[responding]
I'm Lee Ganghyun from Gangha station.
Can't believe this kind of incident
occured here.
Murder case in a gallery?
[Isoo inhaling]
The exhibition will become famous, though.
[director] I can't deny that.
Tickets are selling like hot cakes.
[director and Isoo laugh]
[director] It's sad, though.
Mr. Noh was beginning
to acquire world-wide-fame.
Do you know anyone
who would want to kill him?
There might be a lot.
[director] He was famous
for his bad temper.
But Mr. Kwon said
he was very nice and kind.
[director scoffing] What else
could he say?
His life depended on the professor's hand.
He worked for Mr. Noh for ten years.
Now the professor is dead,
Kwon has no one to rely on now.
He looked shocked
at the professor's death.
Did you notice any change
in Mr. Noh recently?
Oh, right.
There was a small incident.
[director] A week ago,
[tense music]
someone suddenly barged
into Mr. Noh's studio
- and spilled red paint on his drawing.
- Oh?
The red paint?
[director] Why?
- That's
- The red paint was spilled
on his dead body.
[gasps]
Gosh, that's terrible.
[exhaling]
Do you know
who did that?
[director] I don't know
because I was on a business trip.
But I heard Mr. Noh let the culprit go
without any punishment.
Though it was one of his major exhibits.
[call starting sound]
[Ganghyun] Kyungjin,
check Mr. Noh's reporting records.
And secure CCTV footage
for last night.
Oh.
You won't find CCTV footage.
We replaced the cams yesterday.
Oh, I see.
Check the cams on the road.
The gallery
underwent renovation yesterday.
Okay.
Buy his paintings now.
They'll double in price soon.
Oh, should I?
[shallow sighing]
[sighs]
[shallow exclamation]
[Isoo exclaims]
Don't you have wet wipes?
Wet wipes?
Oh, I spilled coffee there yesterday.
[interesting music]
You didn't wipe it off?
I did.
Do you have a tissue, then?
Tissue?
[rustling]
Use this.
Jeez
[Isoo] What's this?
What was that?
What's that?
Is it sundae?
- Sundae?
- [Ganghyun] No.
Cherry tomatoes.
Watch out not to step on it.
What a mess!
[Isoo] Who keeps a car this dirty?
I'm too busy catching bastards
to clean my car.
[exclaims]
- Look, we should've used my car.
- Don't.
Where are we going?
To do the most difficult thing
in the whole investigating process.
What's that?
Notifying a victim's death
to their family.
[sighs]
[hand rubbing sound]
[tires screeching]
[doorbell chimes]
[cicadas chirping]
[doorbell chimes]
[Hwayoung] Who's there?
Police.
[door opens]
Gosh my head aches.
Police?
"JOO HWAYOUNG
NOH YOUNGJAE'S WIFE"
Yes.
[phone thuds]
Have a seat.
I'm Lee Ganghyun
from Gangha Station.
I'm Jin Isoo.
What's up?
- Yesterday--
- Hey.
[inhaling]
Well
Don't be too surprised.
We regret to say
that your husband
has passed away last night.
[Isoo] We offer our condolences.
That jerk is dead?
[dark music]
His exhibition starts today, right?
How did he die?
He was murdered.
[responding]
[scoffs]
No wonder that jerk died like that.
[Hwayoung exclaims shallowly]
I'm glad I haven't got divorced yet.
[Hwayoung] Then
[grunts]
you're gonna do an autopsy?
Yes.
So you don't need me for now.
[Hwayoung] I have a hangover,
so I need more sleep.
You just go.
[Hwayoung grunts]
[Ganghyun] After 9:00 p.m. last night,
where were you?
[scoffs]
I didn't kill him.
I don't even have any feeling
left on him.
I gave up on him a long time ago.
Where were you?
I was with my boyfriend
till 2:00 a.m.
I'll give you his number. You can check.
[Hwayoung responds]
This would not be easy
[door closes]
[tense music]
[Isoo] Three suspects.
An assistant who worked for him for long.
A wife showing no tears
on her husband's death.
A director hoping for the success
of the exhibition.
Oh, there's one more.
A mystery person
who attacked him with paint.
It's interesting.
This is so exciting.
You think this is exciting?
[Isoo] Yes.
I haven't been focused like this
for so long.
- I see.
- Oh, Ganghyun.
I should get going now.
Where are you going?
I have some stuff to do at home.
What stuff?
- You want to know?
- No.
I can stay with you if you need me
- in investigation--
- Goodbye.
[Isoo scoffs]
Hey, Jin.
Don't do anything alone.
If you find out anything,
report me first.
Yes, ma'am.
She's going overboard again.
[bright music]
[door lock beeps]
[Misook] Honey.
- [Misook] Honey.
- [Hyungjun] Yes.
- Honey.
- [Hyungjun] Why?
[Misook] Someone is moving in over there.
- [Hyungjun] Really?
- [Misook] Yes.
[Misook exclaims shallowly]
[Misook] I'd finally see someone
living in that house.
[cup thuds]
[desk tapping sound]
[Hyungjun blowing]
Why aren't you preparing?
For what?
You said you're going with me.
Did I?
[Misook sighs shallowly]
[Misook] Come on. Let's go.
It's a gathering in a long time.
You go alone. I'll stay home.
He used to stay out all the time
when he was younger.
You are a Hara
Haki
Ha, hara
[Hyungjun] What?
Harazuku or something?
[Hyungjun] It's hikikomori.
Hikikomori.
[exclaims]
What a know-it-all.
Go ahead.
[Misook sighs]
[blowing]

"NOH YOUNGJAE'S MURDER CASE
IN LA MENTE GALLERY"
"EVIDENCE FOUND"
"CHAMPAGNE, VICTIM'S FINGERPRINT, KNIFE"
"RED PAINT ON THE BODY,
STABBED IN THE STOMACH"
Hey. You checked
Joo Hwayoung's boyfriend?
They say they were in a bar last night,
but the room in question
isn't visible to the CCTV cameras.
Bae Jinkyu, 34 years old.
Seven convictions of fraud.
[scoffs]
A famous artist, a wife having an affair,
and her fraud boyfriend.
It's obvious, right?
Right.
[inhaling]
It's a little too obvious.
Checked on the paint attack case?
Yes, someone damaged his painting, but
The culprit wasn't there
when police arrived,
and Mr. Noh just decided to let it slide.
[Ganghyun] Did you ask Mr. Kwon?
I can't reach him.
What about CCTV?
I got the file.
[mysterious music]
Wait.
- The culprit is--
- Female.
[Ganghyun inhaling]
Ask the taxi company for cooperation,
and check Mr. Noh's life insurance,
Joo Hwayoung's asset,
and her capital flow history.
And Bae Jinkyu's financial state, too.
- Ask telecom company for cooperation.
- Okay.
[phone ringing]
Oh
[Kyungjin] No, I mean
No, what time is it?
Three thirty, this is, um
she's waiting, oh
But, nevertheless, I
- What do I do?
- [Ganghyun] Why are you
so nervous all of a sudden?
I'm off today,
so my girlfriend is waiting.
- You can go.
- [Kyungjin] Thank you!
[Kyungjin] Honey!
[Kyungjin and Chohee exclaims]
Sorry, I'm late.
[Chohee] Yeah.
You could spoil that child.
Let them.
They're in love.
-Only a five-minute walk away,
-Yes.
there's a nice pork cutlet place.
[Chohee] Let's go, then.
They're like lovebirds.
[Ganghyun laughs shallowly]
[keyboard clacking]
Why?
[inhaling]
I've never seen you dating someone.
I've never seen you do that either.
I have dated
from time to time.
It didn't last long, though.
Me too.
[scoffs]
We, soloists, should just write
a letter of cooperation.
When does the autopsy begin?
Tomorrow morning.
- I'll be there.
- Okay.
I'll visit Mr. Kwon tomorrow.
[keyboard clacking]
Where's Jin Isoo?
[Ganghyun] I don't know.
He has some stuff at home.
[inhaling]
I hope it will take long.
[tires screeching]
[soft music]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[foreboding music]
[doorbell chimes]
Knock, knock.
You moved here.
Ah, yes
[Misook] Please excuse me.
Oh, wait.
[Misook] You've already tidied it up.
Let me go in for a second.
[Isoo] Oh
[Misook] I wondered
when a new neighbor would move in here.
[door lock beeps]
[Isoo] Who are you?
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.
[Misook] I am
the village master of this town.
Go Misook.
Oh, the village master.
Does that position still exist?
Of course.
This town can't be run without me.
And contact this person
if you have anything to be repaired.
You'd never get ripped off
if you tell him I introduced you.
[Isoo responds shallowly]
The second floor is also yours?
[Isoo] Yes, that's just
[Misook] You've already cleaned up here.
[Misook exclaims shallowly]
Gosh
[shallow laugh]
Someone drew a picture here.
[Misook] You'll repaper the wall?
[Misook inhaling]
Or paint the wall?
I'll just keep this wall like this.
[Isoo] It's my drawing.
I used to live here before.
You did?
Oh
I see.
This house has left unoccupied
since I moved here.
Yes.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
It's a nice town to live in.
[Misook] If you need anything
You see that house
with a blue roof over there?
You can visit anytime
before 10:00 p.m.
because I go to bed at 10:00 p.m.
Come and ask anything if you need.
Okay.
[shallow laugh]
[Misook tapping] Gosh
it must be tough tidying all these up.
See you again.
Yes.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[soft music]
[rain pattering]
[young Isoo] Mom
The roof leaks here, too.
Maybe raindrops
want to come play in our house.
[shallow laugh]
[young Isoo] Welcome.
[young Isoo laughs shallowly]
[green bugs chirping]
You're home, sweetie?
[laughs]
I was depressed, so I'm drinking.
- [Heeja] Want to join me?
- You kicked Isoo out?
- Did he snitch on me to you?
- I heard it at the villa.
I told you, stop harassing him.
[dark music]
Why?
[Heeja] Why should I stop it?
[whimpering] You know how much I suffered
because of that woman.
You know all of that!
You shouldn't do this to me.
You're the only one that I have.
How could you do that to me?
[Heeja sobbing]
[crying] You're the only one I have.
[grass bugs chirping]
[Jeonghun] Your youngest son
moved out.
[Myeongchul] To where?
[Jeonghun] To Gangha-dong.
It's been owned by him
so far.
[Myeongchul] Isoo
went back to that house.
[Myeongchul] Is it possible for him
to restore his memory?
[sender] Don't let him live in that house.
He might
get back
his memory.
[foreboding music]
[whooshing sound effect]
[beeping sound effect]
[breathing]
[exhaling]
[exhaling]
This car looks familiar.
[door opens]
Huh?
[interesting music]
Hey, why are you here?
And why are you here?
I've lived here for ten years.
It's been my home since I was born.
[Isoo and Ganghyun scoff]
Huh?
Blue roof?
Your mom is the village master?
You already met my mom?
She is so warm and kind.
You don't resemble your mom.
[Ganghyun sighs]
[door closes]
[engine starts]
[engine starts]
[engine starts]
[shallow laugh]
[engine starts]
[bright music]
[Ganghyun sighs]
Huh?
[blowing]
[Ganghyun scoffs]
This guy is a bit sensitive.
My car is cool.
[sighing] That cool guy is in coma
because of the owner.
This is how to take care
of a precious car.
Then, you know what happens?
[engine revving]
It sounds this nice.
[Isoo] You feel it?
A heart-pounding and touching sound--
Lower the speed.
The speed limit is 37 here.
Where's your sense of romance?
[Ganghyun] You were here.
I couldn't reach you yesterday.
[Dojun] I went home
and slept right away.
I came here at dawn.
[Isoo] Have you eaten?
Your face is worn.
[Isoo tutting]
I heard it from the gallery director.
[Ganghyun] There was an incident
a week ago?
Oh, yes. A woman
- broke in suddenly--
- A woman?
[Dojun] Yes.
What's this?
[tense music]
[Dojun] The cam here recorded it all.
[keyboard clacking]
[Dojun] To choose the paintings
for the exhibition,
I recorded it all.
[Hwayoung in screen] This is good.
It's colorful,
while it has a theme of desperation.
[Youngjae] Hm
[inhaling]
Let's pick that one for the main.
- [Hwayoung] Mr. Kwon.
- [Dojun] Yes.
What do you think?
[Youngjae] Don't ask him.
He's skillful
but not smart.
He still has a long way to go.
Just pass the list
to the people in charge.
[footsteps approaching]
May I help you?
[unstable breathing]
[Youngjae and Hwayoung gasps]
Huh?
[intruder breathing]
[intruder] This shouldn't be revealed.
[bucket clanking]
How dare you?
[yelling] You, murderer!
- You, murderer!
- [Youngjae] Are you crazy?
[intruder wailing]
Stop her, Kwon!
Okay, okay.
[breathing]
That scarf
You know who she is?
[Dojun] Yes, I do.
I know her.
You're early today.
I was on another autopsy.
[Jiwon] Noh Youngjae, 61 years old.
Died due to organ damage
and excessive bleeding.
[tense music]
Died from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Blood alcohol level is 0.06%.
Three stab wounds.
Turn around.
Turn.
Here
and here.
And look at me.
This
was the deadly stab.
You understand?
[scoffing] So
he was stabbed from the back first?
[Jiwon] Yes, but the wounds
on the back are so light
that I doubt
the culprit intended to kill him.
Like hesitation wounds of suicides?
Yes
The criminal hesitated at first,
[Jiwon] and
[Youngjae groans]
when the victim turned around and reacted
[sharp sound effect]
[groans]
[Jiwon] they stabbed him deeply.
[shallow breathing]
What kind of reaction?
Oh.
[Jiwon] It was under his nails.
Like this
he held something tightly.
This is all.
Can the criminal be a female?
Well
Yes.
It's possible.
Police.
Oh Gyeongsun is here, right?
[manager] Yes.
She must be cleaning the sauna.
Can I go check her?
[manager] Okay.
This was how jjimjilbang looks like.
Is it your first time?
Because I have a sauna in my house.
I heard the eggs here are so yummy.
[Isoo] Eggs are just eggs.
Do you have 2,000 won?
I forgot to bring my wallet.
[Isoo exclaims shallowly]
Ms. Oh Gyeongsun?
"OH GYEONGSUN
THE PAINT ATTACKER"
[dark music]
Noh Youngjae
was murdered.
[breathing]
I never believed it,
but God truly exists.
[Gyeongsun] He was punished by the Heaven.
He killed my daughter.
These paintings
They look the same, right?
He stole my daughter's painting.
[Gyeongsun] He was
Yeseon's academic adviser.
Pretending to help
with her graduation exhibition,
he plagiarized
her painting.
So what did you do?
I did everything I could.
[Gyeongsun] I accused him, sued him,
- and reported it.
- [Yeseon] He was
- plagiarizing my painting.
- [Gyeongsun] But
no one believed
what my daughter said.
He said he'd help her to study abroad
if we covered it.
But later,
he accused my daughter
"COMPLAINT"
of plagiarism.
[Isoo] Then, your daughter is
She died.
[Gyeongsun] A year ago
[Yeseon breathing fumingly]
[Gyeongsun] Stop it, Yeseon.
Please stop it.
Stop!
[Yeseon] I don't need to keep these.
I'll remove them all.
[wailing] It's no use keeping them here!
[Yeseon sobbing]
[Gyeongsun] I buried her
and I've been a total mess.
[Gyeongsun] And then I saw that.
I lost control of myself.
[Hwayoung and Youngjae gasping]
Two days ago,
at 10 p.m.
[Ganghyun] Where were you?
I was working at the sauna.
[Gyeongsun] I worked till 12:00 a.m.
Okay, thank you.
I'll call you again.
[dark music]
That scarf
[Gyeongsun] It was
a birthday present from my daughter.
She had saved money
to buy it doing a part-time job.
It's pretty, isn't it?
[shallow sighing]
[Isoo] I can relate to her,
but I hope she didn't kill him.
[foreboding music]
[shallow sigh]
"GALLERY CCTV
ARRIVED AND LEFT IN A TAXI"
"WOMAN IN FOOTAGE: ORANGE SCARF"
"OH GYEONGSUN'S SCARF"
"OH GYEONGSUN, LEE YESEON"
[Kyungjin] Who's she?
A prime suspect with a strong motive.
Did you investigate Joo Hwayoung?
Three life insurances
and two billion of death benefit.
That's a lot.
But her family
is a real estate tycoon.
[Ganghyun] But real estate
is hard to liquidate.
She might've needed
quick cash for Bae Jinkyu.
And she hated her husband.
Autopsy results came out.
There were three stab wounds
One on abdomen and two on the back.
The ones on the back
are hesitation wounds.
Hesitation wounds?
[Junyoung] He died between 10 and 11 p.m.
Means the criminal hesitated,
of course.
[Ganghyun] The victim
was turning his back, but they hesitated.
[mysterious music]
Why?
It's Oh Gyeongsun
who spilled the paint on the painting.
[Ganghyun] Mr. Noh plagiarized
her daughter's painting,
and she thinks
her daughter killed herself for that.
She has that scarf.
[Junyoung] If it was for money, it's Joo.
If it was for revenge,
it's Oh.
[Ganghyun] Oh Gyeongsun said
she worked at night on the day,
so check CCTV there, Kyungjin.
Okay.
Check it thoroughly.
It's only 20 minutes
from the jjimjilbang to the gallery.
She could've got changed and gone out.
I'll dig into Bae Jinkyu.
[Ganghyun] I'll visit the taxi company.
[Isoo] What about me? What should I do?
- You?
- Yes, me.
[door opens]
[door closes]
You see that book?
Yes.
Study.
[interesting music]
Stop playing a cop
with that locked-room murder stuff.
Or you can go clean your house.
Hey, I already have a lawyer's license.
[door opens]
[sighs]
[door closes]
[dark music]
[call starting sound]
[line ringing]
[Isoo] Director Lee.
It's me.
[tense music]
This one looks better.
[Jinkyu's girlfriend] Hey, honey.
Really? I love you!
[Jinkyu's girlfriend laughs]
[door closes]
Hey, wait.
- Me?
- [Junyoung] Yes.
Police.
You know Bae Jinkyu,
right?
[laughs]
He's starting a business.
What kind of business?
[Jinkyu's girlfriend] I don't know.
He's still planning on it.
Oh, he said he found an investor.
[tense music]
[Jinkyu's girlfriend] Why?
[taxi driver] Oh, yes.
I remember this passenger.
Was she this woman?
I don't think so.
Did you see her face?
[taxi driver] No.
She was covering her face
and bending down her head.
How did she pay?
She paid in cash and left
without getting the change.
[door opens]
[Isoo] I'm here again.
Didn't the director call you?
I bought those two paintings.
[phone vibrates]
Just a moment
Yes.
[Dojun] Yes, he's here.
Oh
Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
But this painting
is damaged.
It's not damaged,
but it became meaningful.
Haven't you heard about the artist
who shredded his painting
right after it was sold?
[Dojun] You're right.
[Isoo laughs shallowly]
I'll wrap this painting.
Okay.
[dark music]
Is this one also Mr. Noh's work?
No.
[Dojun] That's my work.
Mr. Noh let me share his studio.
I like this painting.
I like rainy days, too.
Do you know this painting?
Well
A woman is lying under the water,
and
she seems as if she's dead.
Oh.
Are you
talking about this one?
Oh.
Ophelia.
It's not what I'm saying.
That's another one.
It's seen from above.
[Isoo] Like
The woman's face is blurred
and
Oh
I don't know.
Okay.
And what about this place?
I'll have to clean it up.
I'll remove
all of my stuff.
I'll wrap the painting.
Okay.
[Kyungjin] Oh Gyeongsun
never left the jjimjilbang.
Taxi driver also said it was not her.
[Junyoung] So it could be
Joo Hwayoung or Bae Jinkyu.
Bae Jinkyu spent a lot of cash recently,
and he found an investor for his business.
[quirky music]
[Gyeongsun] How dare you!
You murderer!
- You, murderer!
- [Youngjae] Are you crazy?
[Gyeongsun wailing]
She knew
Oh Gyeongsun hated Mr. Noh
And she must have known
that the gallery would replace the CCTV.
After disguising herself as Oh Gyeongsun,
she killed her husband.
Bae Jinkyu, the accomplice,
set an alibi for her.
[Junyoung] Should we
arrest them now?
No, they must still be staying vigilant.
[Ganghyun] Let's summon them
tomorrow morning
when they begin to feel relieved.
That scarf
I heard it's discontinued.
Find out where we can buy it.
Okay.
[rhythmical music]
[Isoo breathing]
[grass bugs chirping]
[shallow exclamation]
[rustling]
[rat squeaking]
[eerie sound effect]
[beeping sound effect]
[screams]
[beeping sound effect]
[Isoo breathing heavily]
[interesting music]
[urgent breathing]
Mr. Choi!
Mr. Choi, Mr. Choi!
[breathing]
Ganghyun!
[phone ringing]
[grass bugs chirping]
- What is it?
- Ganghyun!
Where are you?
[Ganghyun] Why?
It saw me, it saw me.
No, no.
4237, 4237!
[Isoo] 4237, 4237!
Damn it!
[Isoo breathing urgently]
[foreboding music]
[door lock beeps]
[door lock unlocked]
[Isoo exhaling]
[Isoo breathing shakily]
You
opened the door.
[bright music]
What's up?
[Isoo chattering urgently]
What?
[quietly] A rat.
What did you say?
[quietly] There's a rat.
[exclaims]
What the hell.
Hey, please, don't go!
Please.
[breathing shakily]
I'm begging you.
[Isoo] Please?
[tent setting sound]
You'll sleep in the tent?
Yes, it's easy and quick.
The rat could come back.
Why don't you just go to a hotel?
[Isoo] I can't drive. My legs are shaking.
I'll make it quick. Please keep watching.
[murmuring] Rat?
[Ganghyun sighs]
[mellow music]
You really lived here before?
Yes, with my mom.
[inhaling]
She suddenly passed away when I was seven.
That was when I heard
that I was a son of Hansu Group.
[Isoo] I'm different.
I'm not a real silver spoon.
What
happened to your mom?
Mom.
[engine revving]
[tires screeching]
[crashing sound]
Mom!
[sound effect spreading]
[young Isoo] Mom!
Mom.
- [young Isoo] Mom!
- [Isoo] It was a car accident.
It's not that clear now.
[inhaling]
Now that I came back here,
it reminds me of the good old memories.
[Isoo] Okay.
[Isoo grunts]
- I'm leaving.
- Hey.
Thanks.
[baton putting in sound]
[birds chirping]
[sighs]
[phone vibrates]
[message alarm sound]
[Isoo] I'll be late today.
[vanishing sound effect]
"VERMIN EXTERMINATION SERVICE"
[keyboard clacking]
[dark music]
[shallow sighing]
You're starting a business?
[scoffs]
Oh, that
It's not a big deal.
It's just a sideline.
[laughs]
I'll take over a pension in Jeju.
Oh.
[inhaling] It must be expensive.
Is it around two billion?
Recently, Bae Jinkyu asked you
for cash for his business, right?
[Hwayoung] Yes, he did.
Two billion.
It's exactly the same amount
- as Mr. Noh's death benefit.
- Oh, it is?
I didn't know that.
You're a real estate tycoon,
but making quick cash of two billion
wouldn't be easy.
[Ganghyun] But now you have cash
for your young boyfriend.
[exclaims]
I'll break up with him.
[Hwayoung] I bought him a car and clothes.
But I don't like him enough
to give him two billion.
If you think
that I killed my husband
to get the death benefit,
you got it wrong.
You'd better investigate
Kwon rather than me.
Why?
Because he has a motive of murder.
But isn't he the last person
who would want
Mr. Noh to be dead?
To be a professor or to debut,
he needed Mr. Noh's help.
Noh didn't help him with that
and just made slaves of him
for over ten years.
No wonder Mr. Kwon was preparing
to study abroad in secret.
He was preparing to study abroad?
Yes. He was going to get a support
from the Artist Foundation.
[Junyoung] She's lying.
She'll run away
while we're suspecting Kwon.
[Ganghyun] We should check it anyway.
[Junyoung sighs] Okay.
I'll watch those two, then.
[Isoo] Thank you.
[Isoo inhaling]
[door closes]
[door lock beeping]
[Isoo scoffs shallowly]
Huh?
[foreboding music]
[Jeonghun] It won't be simple
because it's related to a foreign company.
I'll contact Attorney Lee,
and let's go see him together.
Okay.
Is it tough?
[CEO sighs]
[CEO] Yes, it is.
This is too big for me.
Can't you just come back?
[shallow laugh]
You're not the one
to serve the conglomerate family.
That's my last job.
[phone vibrates]
Hello.
Mr. Choi, I have a favor.
All right.
[call ending sound]
Who is the leader
of the Electric Laboratory Team?
[dark music]
[Jeonghun] I told them to look at it.
"RADIATION-CONTROLLED AREA
NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY."
[engineer] A sign was left first
before a new painting was added on it.
[Isoo] Why did he do that?
[birds chirping]
"USED MARKET"
[mouse clicking]
[mouse clicking]
[call starting sound]
[line ringing]
[Isoo] Mr. Kwon.
You're done tidying up?
Yes.
Where are you going?
Far away?
What's up?
Oh.
I spent a fortune to buy it,
[Isoo] but there's a problem.
There's a famous painting by Millet
called The Angelus,
where a couple pray in the field.
There's a basket with potatoes inside.
But originally,
[Isoo] it was a coffin.
[heavy music]
This peaceful drawing
was actually
about a sad couple who lost their baby.
Oh.
You can confirm it by X-ray.
[staff] Mr. Kwon was selected
but it was cancelled.
Why?
[staff] His academic adviser called.
He said Mr. Kwon's portfolio
was plagiarized.
When did he call?
It was a week ago.
Was it a woman who bought this scarf?
[staff] No, it was a man.
Just a moment.
[Kyungjin] Can I switch to a video call?
[staff] Yes.
[call switching sound]
Was it this man?
No.
[staff] Wait.
It was this man next to him.
[heavy music]
[Isoo] I dropped the painting
while I was hanging it,
and I found a totally different color
on the damaged area.
So, I took an X-ray of this painting.
[phone vibrates]
- Yes.
- The one who bought the scarf
was Kwon Dojun.
[Kyungjin] I talked with the seller.
Check where he is and tell me.
Call Junyoung, too.
[Isoo] Then I found this.
There's a signature that is not Mr. Noh's.
Under Mr. Noh's painting,
why is your signature hidden?
[Dojun breathing shakily]
[closing theme]
"JIN ISOO ATTACKED BY THE PRIME SUSPEC

- MOON KOOK-JIN,

[Dojun] I found him dead.
It's not me.
Mr. Kwon was found dead this morning.
The real culprit is
[Ganghyun] We don't have a proof.
[Dojun] Wasn't there a key?
[Isoo] I can catch him.
[Ganghyun] What kind of world
are you living in?
[Isoo] Ganghyun!
This is a murder case.
A rice cake was stuck in his throat.
If it's chewed, it gets teeth marks.
No teeth mark here.
And this is missing.
- [Mr. Go] If it's the real National Seal--
- Can it be?
Similar cases occurred
three times in a month.
this is a serial case.
No fingerprints found.
Let's set a trap.
The secret auction at 2:00 a.m.
To the back door! Stop!
Exactly a billion.
Gosh, you're so
No wonder.
- Hello.
- They're here.
Right. They're two.
Drop the syringe!
Drop it!
