FLEX X COP
THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED
IN SAFE SITUATIONS.
Invitation to the death
[visitors scream]
Everyone, calm down.
I'm a police officer.
[Isoo] Who is in charge
of this place?
- What time did you arrive here?
- At around 8:00 a.m.
But didn't look around inside the hall?
Murder case in a gallery?
The exhibition will become famous, though.
Tickets are selling like hot cakes.
Your husband
has passed away last night.
I'm glad I haven't got divorced yet.
Three suspects.
There's one more. A mystery person
who attacked him with paint.
- The culprit is--
- Female.
[Insoo] It's interesting.
What's this?
May I help you?
[Youngjae and Hwayoung gasps]
[Gyeongsun] He stole
my daughter's painting.
That scarf
A birthday present from my daughter.
[Isoo] I'm here again.
I bought those two paintings.
I like this painting.
[Dojun] That's my work.
[engineer] A sign was left first
before a new painting
was added on it.
[Isoo] Mr. Kwon.
I spent a fortune to buy it,
but there's a problem.
PREVIOUS EPISODE RECAP
[phone ringing]
- Yes?
- The one who bought the scarf
was Kwon Dojun.
I talked with the seller.
Check where he is and tell me.
Call Junyoung, too.
So, I took an X-ray of this painting.
Then I found this.
There's a signature that is not Mr. Noh's.
Under Mr. Noh's painting,
why is your signature hidden?
[paintbrushes clink]
[heavy breathing]
[tires screeching]
[groans]
[exhaling]
Drop that.
You got pale
when you're the one who hit me.
Stop right there and drop that, okay?
I don't want to hit you.
I learned MMA professionally.
[Dojun groans]
[shattering sound]
[Dojun groans]
[breathing]
[sighs]
[Dojun breathing]
[Isoo] Now, tell me.
Why did you do that?
[Dojun sighing] Damn.
[dark music]
[quietly] Damn it.
It's been ten years.
[Dojun] For ten years,
I've painted for him.
While hiding my signatures
to mark that these are my paintings.
I watched him become famous using my work,
did errands for his wife,
and took my colleague's paintings away.
Even when Yeseon killed herself,
I just ignored it and kept holding out.
[Youngjae] Oh, Mr. Kwon
is to get scholarship to study abroad?
Jeez I don't know
how to say it.
Actually, the portfolio that he submitted
was all plagiarized.
[Youngjae sighing] As an honest educator,
I think I have to tell you this.
- I'll get going, sir.
- Okay.
[Dojun sobbing] I've held out for my dream
to succeed as a great artist.
[sighing] Damn.
It's all over now.
[Dojun inhaling]
That's disappointing.
I always envied artists
[Isoo] because they seemed
to work hard for their dreams
no matter how hard it was.
But you tried to use Mr. Noh
for your success
and then killed him after failing in it.
What did you say?
Why is that painting your work?
It became famous because it was published
in the name of Noh.
You hid behind that name
and added your signature secretly.
- How pathetic.
- What do you know about me?
What the hell do you know?
[sobbing] You have everything you want,
and you can do anything.
But I can't.
You lived like that for ten years.
It's too long for you to say
you're free of blame.
Stand up.
I don't have handcuffs now,
but don't think about running away.
[sobbing]
[clanking sound]
[grunts]
Kwon.
[Isoo grunts]
[Dojun holding out]
[Isoo grunts]
[Dojun breathing]
Jin?
[Isoo breathing]
What's going on?
- He stabbed himself.
- Move.
[Dojun grunting]
[siren wailing]
[people murmuring]
[door closes]
[Junyoung] Jin, that punk.
He needs some discipline.
I'll talk to him.
Follow the ambulance, please.
I'll call you.
[grass bugs chirping]
[inhaling]
Why were you here?
Well
I bought a painting of Mr. Noh
and found something weird on it.
[Ganghyun] So?
I took an X-ray of it
and found a signature
which I had seen here.
So?
So
I came here to find out what was going on.
[sighs]
How did Kwon Dojun
get to stab himself?
Oh, that's just
He told me about his sob story,
so I scolded him.
I was also hit here.
[Isoo] He attacked me first.
I knew you were immature and rude,
but you're worse than I thought.
I didn't expect he would do that.
We caught the criminal,
and he wasn't hurt that much.
Do you still find it funny?
Someone is injured.
You know, I didn't intend this.
I just didn't expect it.
A cop must expect that
and take the responsibility.
Fine, I'll take the responsibility.
The police
never work individually
but as an organization.
You still don't understand that.
[Ganghyun sighs]
I don't have
any power or right to reject you.
I should lead you as your team leader.
It feels like
I have a bomb on my head.
[dark music]
After the election,
you'll be gone, which is my only hope.
[people murmuring]
[camera shutter sound]
[shallow sigh]
[sighs]
[Sunggu] What the hell are you doing?
[shallow breathing]
[Sunggu] Ganghyun.
Am I asking for too much?
Just stop making trouble!
You can't even watch Jin Isoo?
What if the mayor candidate's son
got hurt?
What if he was stabbed and killed
by the criminal?
I'm sorry, sir.
[sighs]
[knocking]
[door opens]
[secretary] Sir.
You should depart now.
Who made this punk a team leader?
[door closes]
[shallow breathing]
Just move to another station.
You're making too much fuss here.
Why should I do that?
You know the reason
why I hate you, right?
[heavy music]
You can't hide
where you come from.
My father was just framed.
You're misunderstanding about him.
[Ganghyun] You know who my father is.
You know him very well.
He was your direct supervisor.
You never know someone's true sides.
I learned it while working in this field.
You'd better
stop shielding your father
and face the case realistically.
[grass bugs chirping]
[bag thuds]
[hangers rattling]
[mellow music]
[birds chirping]
[knocking]
[Jeonghun] Are you okay?
[inhaling]
You look tired.
Stayed up all night?
No, it's not that.
I had some stuff to think about.
[Jeonghun] Let's go checkup.
I'm fine. It's not a big deal.
Get prepared to go out.
Let's go.
Jeez I'm fine.
[Isoo exhaling]
[dark music]
[Dojun] On that day,
I came out
and headed back in through the back door.
[Dojun] Near the back door,
there's no security camera.
And I stabbed him.
[Youngjae groans]
[Dojun grunts]
[Youngjae groans]
Gosh, You punk.
[Dojun] I was so scared
that I just ran away.
[shallow sigh]
Is that all?
Yes.
[dark music]
What about the paint?
That was not me.
I went back to beg him to forgive me
or reveal
that those paintings were all mine.
But then, I found him dead.
[breathing shakily]
I didn't know what to do.
I was out of my mind and crashed a car.
And the paint case suddenly hit me.
I didn't stab him deeply.
I thought it was possible
that Yeseon's mother
killed him to revenge.
You came back because you
could frame her as the murderer?
[sobbing]
[Ganghyun sighs shallowly]
[inhaling]
[shallow sigh]
Our assumption is different.
We think you planned
to disguise as Oh Gyeongsun
and kill Mr. Noh in the first place.
No, it was just an impulsive behavior.
Then, why did you buy the scarf?
Sca
Scarf?
[Ganghyun] This scarf.
You bought it to disguise
as Oh Gyeongsun, right?
[Junyoung] September 13th in Saseok-dong.
We confirmed that you bought it.
Wait. September
September 13th.
Oh, that was an errand for Mr. Noh's wife.
She told me to pick up the stuff.
So I got her that.
Was that a scarf?
If you didn't kill him,
why did you stab yourself?
[clenching teeth] I stabbed Noh anyway,
and my life is over now.
[Dojun sobbing]
Then, Joo Hwayoung was the culprit?
She may have planned it
after setting the day
for replacing the security cameras.
[Junyoung] She let Kwon buy the scarf
and disguised as Oh Gyeongsun.
She took a taxi on purpose.
[Ganghyun] But
she didn't expect Kwon
to stab him before her.
[panting] Honey
Call an ambulance for me.
Kwon Dojun
just stabbed me.
[panting]
[groans]
[suspenseful music]
[Youngjae groans]
[Youngjae grunts]
[Ganghyun] But we have no evidence
to prove it.
[Junyoung] Kwon Dojun, the only witness
is another suspect.
So, what do we do now?
[Ganghyun] Joo Hwayoung.
Let's investigate her again.
[machine operating sound]
[door opens]
Everything is normal.
I told you, I didn't need this.
The chairman was worried about you.
Seems like he's so desperate
to be the mayor
that he even plays a good father.
- The chairman is just--
- I'll get going.
I'm busy investigating a murder case.
How's your work
as a police officer?
It's so fun.
I'm off.
Call me if you have a headache
or feel dizzy.
[Isoo] Okay.
[call starting sound]
[line ringing]
Hello, sir.
I let him get a checkup,
and everything is normal.
Okay. Thank you.
[call ending sound]
"DETECTIVE JIN, SEVERELY INJURED,
ARRESTED THE GALLERY MURDER CASE SUSPECT"
[phone vibrates]
[Isoo] Come for a bribe.
[Kyungjin] Wow, awesome!
[romantic music playing]
[Isoo] I'll do it myself.
Thanks.
Enjoy.
Never had such a tasty bribe.
By the way,
what do you think?
Did I do something wrong?
Something wrong? You?
Yes.
Ganghyun was mad at me so much.
Want me to list your faults up
- from your first day?
- No.
From yesterday.
You acted without reporting anyone.
That's the problem.
I just went there to ask something.
You must share anything
related to the investigation.
Ms. Lee decides how to investigate.
You should've told her.
If you find out anything,
report me first.
Don't do anything alone.
And the suspect was injured.
Ganghyun might be punished for that.
He just stabbed himself.
Why would she be punished?
That's how an organization works.
And she is somewhat hated
by her superiors.
Why is she hated?
Didn't you say
she's the youngest inspector ever?
Yes, absolutely.
She arrested 34 vicious criminals
for only three years.
But there is a story behind her.
What story?
Well
I'm not the one to tell you.
Ask her yourself later
when you two get close.
Hmm
Excuse me.
Get me what I ordered earlier.
[Isoo] I bought a winery last year.
This is from there.
How much is this wine?
[manager] It's 3.2 million won.
[Isoo] Open it, please.
[wine bottle taps]
Wow.
[wine opener operating sound]
This is the one I could never reject.
I'll try some.
[dark music]
Her father worked
in the Violent Crime field for 30 years.
He was called "Hook."
He was a legendary figure.
- And then?
- And then
a few months before his retirement,
[Kyungjin] he was caught
for accepting a bribe.
How much was that?
Maybe it was a box full of cash.
He was dismissed for that.
So what?
It can't be a reason to hate her.
They don't think so.
Even worse, our chief
was a hearing inspector
who investigated that case.
But Ms. Lee is managing
to endure all of these.
Superiors hate her,
and people badmouth her.
She even became a team leader
at such a young age,
making some of them jealous.
But there's one more problem.
The real culprit seems to be Joo Hwayoung.
[heavy music]
Make it clear.
- Are you in or not?
- [Jinkyu's friend] In.
[Jinkyu's friends respond]
[Jinkyu's friends chattering]
[grass bugs chirping]
[sighs]
[dog barking in distance]
[sighs]
[nurse] Mr. Kwon.
You'll be moved to a VIP room.
What?
VIP room. We're transferring you now.
This way, please.
[door closes]
"WE HOPE YOU GET WELL
HANSU GROUP"
[Isoo exclaims]
[Isoo] This room looks so clean and nice.
This is only for VIP patients.
I'll pay all the cost for these.
Don't worry about that.
You're here to apologize?
No.
I won't apologize.
For physical and mental damage,
you can claim compensation from me.
I'll give you as much as you want.
Or study abroad with that money.
[scoffs]
Study abroad? I'm going to jail.
You didn't cause him a deadly wound.
If you write a sincere letter of apology,
the judge may go easy on you.
Is his wife the culprit?
It seems so,
but we don't have evidence.
Oh.
Then
didn't you find a key
from Mr. Noh's clothes?
[suspicious music]
[phone vibrates]
Need a plastic bag?
No, it's fine.
[bar code reader beeps]
[phone vibrates]
"JIN ISOO"
[sighing] He's so annoying.
[door locking sound]
[rustling]
[cat meowing in the screen]
[exclaims]
This is full of cheese.
[exclaims]
[soft music]
[Isoo] Ms. Lee. I found out a new fact!
[birds chirping]
[breathing]
[grunts]
[exhaling]
Have breakfast.
I'm not hungry.
But you should eat some before you go.
- I'm off.
- [Misook] Wait.
Deliver it to the house
across the street on your way.
- Why?
- You have to ask?
Our neighbor has nothing to eat
in his place.
No, I won't do that.
You never say yes to me at once.
[cup thuds]
Take it and deliver it.
[sighs]
Mom.
You don't know who that guy is?
You don't have to worry about him at all.
Why?
Is he someone famous?
[sighs]
I hope you sometimes watch the news
other than dramas.
News is always boring and gloomy.
Dramas are much more interesting.
I'm leaving.
[Misook] Who's that guy?
Is he famous?
[Isoo exclaims]
What's up?
[Isoo sniffing]
It stinks more than usual today.
[inhaling]
[Ganghyun sighs]
Oh, morning coffee for you, Ms. Lee.
I couldn't reach you yesterday.
You didn't ignore my call, right?
Why are you suddenly being polite?
I found new information
to arrest Joo Hwayoung.
- What's that?
- I met Kwon Dojun yesterday.
You met whom?
Not for investigation.
I just visited him to see if he's okay.
So?
[tense music]
He said Mr. Noh
always carried a key at his waist.
It was a key for his private safe.
Joo once asked Kwon to steal it from Noh.
There was no key at the scene.
Because Joo took it.
We can arrest her with that.
Okay.
I promise I'll ask you before I move.
I swear.
[scoffs]
After the scholarship was cancelled,
Mr. Kwon planned
to disguise as Oh Gyeongsun
and kill Mr. Noh.
We found evidence
that he bought the same scarf
as the one that Oh Gyeongsun had.
I heard Mr. Kwon
stabbed himself.
Yes, he did it when he was arrested,
and
he died this morning.
Oh, my gosh.
[Hwayoung sighing] Poor guy.
I'll get going now.
[sighs]
[heavy music]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sighs]
[Hwayoung] It's all over, Jinkyu.
Kwon, that punk, is dead.
Meet me at the bank.
"HANEUL BANK"
[bank president] Mr. Jin,
how can I help you?
[exhaling] Well
[tense music]
[shallow laugh]
[unlocking sound]
[door opens]
[manager] Hello.
[Jinkyu exclaims shallowly]
[laughs]
[Isoo exclaims]
[Isoo breathing]
[Isoo] Oh, Mr. Noh
was preparing for a divorce
hiding his fortune here.
[Isoo inhaling]
[rhythmical music]
[whooshing sound effect]
[fingerprint matching]
"SCAN RESULT"
[Ganghyun] I see
your clear bloody fingerprint here.
[groans]
[Youngjae breathing heavily]
[Ganghyun] Do you want
to confess?
[scoffs]
Hey.
[scoffing] It's not me
but that woman who killed him.
[sighs]
Confess now.
I told you, that woman is a murderer.
I have nothing to do with this--
[Screams]
[bright music]
Shut up, you fucking asshole!
[Hwayoung] Come here!
Jeez, that must hurt.
- You, asshole.
- Take her out.
[Hwayoung] Come here, you bastard.
Gosh, it's so Instagrammable.
[Hwayoung yelling]
- [laughing] Hey, it's not me.
- Bae Jinkyu!
Oh, gosh!
Come on, she's the one who murdered him.
[Hwayoung] You, fucking trash. Come here!
[Jinkyu] Hey, she's out to kill one more.
Killing one more.
[Hwayoung chattering]
[call starting sound]
[line ringing]
Director Lee.
I have a suggestion for you.
Thanks to you,
we hit the jackpot again, Mr. Jin.
The tickets are selling like a hot cake.
Nothing can beat the original.
"ABOUT ORIGINAL"
[mellow music]
"ABOUT ORIGINAL: LEE YESEON"
"POWER TO PROTECT THE ORIGINAL
IS IN ART VIEWERS"
[breathing shakily]
[Gyeongsun] Detective.
Oh.
[exhaling]
[Gyeongsun] Thank you.
No, no. Don't mention it.
[Gyeongsun] Every single day
was a pain for me.
I think I can breathe from now on.
[Gyeongsun breathing shakily]
[Gyeongsun] Yeseon will be so happy
in the Heaven.
[sobbing] Thank you.
"LEE YESEON"
[Gyeongsun breathing shakily]
"ABOUT ORIGINAL"
[tires screeching]
[grass bugs chirping]
Let's go.
[grunts]
[door locking sound]
[Isoo] Huh?
- Seungju.
- [Seungju] Hey, you.
Why didn't you tell me you were moving?
It just happened suddenly.
Let's get in.
[Shallow exclamation]
Welcome to my humble house.
[Seungju] Yes, it's really humble.
[laughing shallowly] You're the first--
No.
You're the second guest here.
[shallow laugh]
Have a seat.
Okay.
[rattling]
[Isoo] Here, I made a little coffee.
[cup thuds]
[Isoo exclaims shallowly]
You're acting out again?
[Isoo] I'm not a child anymore.
That's what I'm saying.
[Seungju inhaling]
Just move next to my house.
I've got a new one for you.
I like this place.
[Seungju] It doesn't suit you.
It's too small and uncomfortable.
It suits Detective Jin Isoo.
Oh.
[Isoo] Today,
someone called me, "Detective."
It sounded great.
- Your heart's set on it this time?
- Yes.
Yes, indeed.
[laughs]
[announcer] The Seoul mayoral election
is just 40 days away.
Approval ratings of Jin Myeongchul,
Hansu Group's chairman,
and Wang Jongtae,
the three-time legislator
are fighting within the margin of error.
As Jin has grown Hansu
for the last ten years
to be a world-class company,
people seem to place high hopes
on his managing skills.
Next up.
Jin Myeongchul's son Jin Isoo,
the Senior Inspector,
curated an exhibition
for a plagiarized painter
who committed suicide.
According to the staff,
Jin opened this exhibition
to reveal that the paintings are
by a plagiarized artist named Lee Yeseon--
What are you drinking?
I'm taking care of myself.
It's part of blood sugar management.
You never share such a good thing.
"JIN'S 'NOBLESSE OBLIGE'"
Did you receive a bribe from Hansu?
I could be lured for about two billion,
but they aren't calling me.
Then, what's that?
Why do you keep talking Jin Isoo up?
To humiliate him hard later.
A good reputation
leads to a more significant downfall.
Hey.
[Joseph] Come on.
I'll introduce you to someone.
"KIM JEONGYEON"
[keyboard clacking]
[tense music]
Hello.
[Joseph laughs shallowly]
[rattling]
[kettle clinking]
The world is simpler
than it looks.
People who keep their position well
can manage the system.
[laughs]
Please don't be too polite.
You know we're scared
of reporters the most.
[Jongtae and Joseph laugh]
There are some guys
who try to cross the line
like Jin Myeongchul.
Why does a businessman
who only pursues money
want to be a politician?
You don't think so?
What do you want from me?
[Jongtae exclaims shallowly]
Jin Myeongchul's weak point is his son,
Jin Isoo.
Dig into him.
Reveal that he's an illegitimate son,
and
[rustling]
how his mother died.
[Jongtae] You don't have to do it now.
Let's drop the bombshell
three days before the election.
All the newspapers will report
about Jin Isoo,
and people will get suspicious.
[tongue clacking]
[Jongtae] We'll make them vote
at that moment.
[glass clinks]
[door closes]
[door lock beeps]
[bright music]
[Isoo grunts]
[music pauses]
What?
[birds chirping]
That's a leaf blight.
Oh, isn't it dead?
It will die if you do nothing.
Then, what should I do?
[bicycle pedaling sound]
[bicycle chain clanking]
What's with him?
[doorbell chimes]
[bright music]
You need to spray pesticide.
[Isoo] What?
[shallow exclamation]
[pumping sound]
[shallow exclamation]
[spraying pesticide]
- Get out of the way.
- Oh.
[pumping sound]
I'm working with Lee Ganghyun.
I know. I heard it.
Oh, you did?
[pumping sound]
Is it severe?
[Hyungjun] Not too severe yet.
I was worried that it was dead.
It's me who planted this tree.
You lived here before?
I had lived here until I was seven,
and I came back now.
[mellow music]
[door opens]
[grass bugs chirping]
[door closes]
[Hyungjun] Hey, kid.
Look at me.
You okay?
[sighing] No, forget it.
Hey, what's up with you?
Hey.
I'll call ambul--
[Hyungjun] You okay?
[shallow sigh]
[pumping sound]
I'm not tall enough for this.
You spray up there.
Spray it again after a week.
Be careful not to let it stain
on your hand.
[Isoo] Thank you.
[breathing]
[Misook] Eat some before you go.
[slurping]
Gosh, it's hot.
Your stomach aches
if you eat something cold in the morning.
[slurping]
[exhaling]
[cup clinks]
I'm off.
[Misook] Deliver that kimchi to him.
[interesting music]
Gosh, you startled me.
What's this?
[Ganghyun dusts hands]
My mom sent it to you.
For your information,
[tapping kimchi box]
this will be very salty.
I recommend not eating it.
[tapping kimchi box]
[Ganghyun] Hurry up, or you'll be late.
[Isoo] Wait up.
[Isoo stepping quickly]
Oh, you cleaned the car.
Good job.
Shut up.
Hey, it's a compliment.
[Isoo tutting]
I met your father this morning.
- My father?
- Yes.
He helped me
take care of the tree in my yard.
You mean, my father got into your house?
Right.
Why?
No, it's just He hardly comes outside.
Heard of the exhibition?
What exhibition?
The exhibition of Lee Yeseon.
Haven't heard of it.
[Isoo] What kind of cop
doesn't watch the news?
There was an article about it.
Do you think
I have time to watch the news?
Do you?
[Isoo] Jeez, we don't click.
We really don't click.
10/5 Ugok-ro.
- [Kyungjin] Good morning.
- [Ganghyun] You're early.
[Junyoung] Okay, I got it.
I'll be there soon.
A dead body was found in Eunbu-dong.
Really? Let's go.
What are you going to do with him?
Let's wait and see.
He said he'd do better.
Why does Park look at me like that?
Because he hates you.
I see.
I hate him, too.
This way for Jin,
and that way for Kyungjin.
Ask around every neighbor in this alley
about the victim.
Ask them if they saw anything suspicious.
[Isoo] Hey, hey.
- Every house here?
- [Ganghyun] Sure.
[clapping sound]
Start.
[Kyungjin] Yes, ma'am.
[Isoo] Hey
[neighbors murmuring]
How can I do it all by myself?
[tense music]
[camera shutter sound]
[camera shutter sound]
[camera shutter sound]
[cicadas chirping]
[doorbell chimes]
[Isoo] Excuse me.
[owner] I won't buy that.
[bright music]
No, I'm a police officer.
Excuse me.
[dog barking]
[gasps]
Excuse me.
[Isoo] Police.
What are you doing now?
Oh, the tree.
You're planting trees, right?
Do you know the elderly
living across the street?
No, we don't.
[Isoo] Oh, you don't.
Why are you planting trees so scarily?
Is this a tree club?
[Ganghyun sighs shallowly]
Oh, you're here.
Yes. Found out anything?
No, not yet.
No?
We'll see.
[granddaughter] I
[dark music]
I visit here from time to time.
I was going to come yesterday,
[sobbing]
but something came up, so I couldn't.
[sobbing] I called him this morning
but he didn't answer,
so I came here and saw him.
[granddaughter sobbing]
Did he have
a chronic disease or something like that?
He had a hypertension
and arthritis, but he was healthy.
[granddaughter sobbing]
What was his daily life like?
Well
He only went to church,
and he hardly went out.
I did grocery shopping
and cooked for him when I came here.
If I had been here yesterday
he wouldn't have died, right?
[sobbing]
[Ganghyun] Currently,
it looks like an accident.
[sobbing]
It's no one's fault.
[sobbing]
Did you find something?
[Jiwon sighs]
[Jiwon] A rice cake
was stuck in his throat.
An elderly who lived alone
passed away in solitude.
You live alone, right?
Where do you live?
Near Gangha Station.
Oh.
I live around there, too.
[Ganghyun approaching]
[Ganghyun] It's done?
[Jiwon] Yes.
There's nothing special.
[Ganghyun] Right.
No sign of forcible entry.
The cash in the wallet
remains untouched, too.
[Ganghyun] Seems like an accident.
[Jiwon] Yes.
"NO ENTRY. UNDER INVESTIGATION"
Found out anything?
[Kyungjin] Nothing special.
The victim had
no connection with neighbors.
[Isoo] All that I've found out
is that a scary woman lives in that house,
some innocent guys with tattoo
are planting trees in that house,
and in that house, a very scary dog--
Where's she going?
Is it finished?
It feels like a dog training.
It's just my feeling, right?

Excuse me.
Is this

Yes, it is.
Where's Ms. Lee?
I was wondering, too.
How can I help you?
Are you a detective, too?
Oh.
You don't know who I am.
Just a moment.

I am a detective.
Jin Isoo.

Detective.
[dark music]
[breathing shakily]
Please help me.
[Isoo] Ms. Lee!
[interesting music]
This is a murder case.
Come over quickly.
[Ganghyun] What the hell?
[Junyoung] He's overacting again.
That's what he is.
I'm not overacting.
I've got a secret report.
A secret report?
You think this is a movie?
The victim's granddaughter was here.
Said he never ate rice cake
because it's stodgy,
so it's impossible that he ate it.
- His granddaughter was here?
- Yes.
And she said this is missing.
What?
[Kyungjin] What's this?
Don't be surprised.
[Isoo] This is
[suspenseful music]
the seal of Korea.
Oh, really?
Yes.
[Ganghyun scoffs]
[scoffing] No way.
[Junyoung scoffs]
The seal of Korea?
Wow.
[scoffs]
Why is the great seal
in a private house?
[Ganghyun] Right. Maybe it's something
like a black letter weight.
No, it's not.
He told his granddaughter in secret
that it's a real great seal.
No way.
[sighing] Jeez.
Then, why is this missing?
Why do you think it's missing?
It could be broken and thrown away,
or it was given to someone.
She doesn't live there,
so maybe she didn't know.
Someone could have broken in, killed him,
and taken this away.
[Junyoung] This is not a robbery case.
There was no sign of forcible entry,
and the cash in his wallet wasn't touched.
What if I'm right?
What if you're wrong?
[Junyoung] Can I beat you?
[Isoo] Okay, deal.
If I'm right, I'll beat you.
- Great.
- [Isoo] Okay.
I warn you. I'll beat you
on the chin very strongly.
There's a reason
that I learned MMA professionally.
Kyungjin, call an ambulance.
[Isoo] I'm a southpaw fighter!
Hey, you both stop it and go home.
[Junyoung sighs]

Jeez
Okay, let's see.
Just wait there.
Whose side should I stand on?
Better get back to work anyway.

Excuse me.
[Dr. Go] Yes.
[Isoo] Hello.
I'm here
on Mr. Choi Jeonghun's recommendation.
[Dr. Go] Oh, I heard from him.
[shallow laugh]
What's this?
This is a Goryeo celadon
called Girin Incense Burner.
[Dr. Go laughs]
It's a fake one.
[gasps]
Did you bring your stuff?
What?
You want me to assess your stuff, right?
No, I'm here for
this one.
The possibility that this stuff
could be the real great seal?
Yes?
- That's possible.
- Oh my gosh.
[Dr. Go] The great seals that have
been produced since Joseon Dynasty
are a total of 412 pieces,
but 73 pieces of them have disappeared.
Many of them were taken
to Japan or the U.S.,
but some of them could be sold secretly.
And look at this.
Using black paint is a common method
employed by brokers of stolen goods
to conceal them.
The great seal is so special
that anyone can recognize
its golden color.
I see.
[inhaling]
If this is a real one
If it's real
it'll be the National Seal
of Korean Empire
adopted by Gojong.
Awesome.
Have you ever seen a real great seal?
No.
20 years ago,
I only heard a rumor
that Choi Sangsoo had one of them.
Chairman Choi Sangsoo?
[Dr. Go] Yes.
Long time ago,
he ran a big trading company in Japan.
He passed away long ago.

Did you find anything weird

Nothing. Why?

Jeez, you worked overtime last night.

[Ganghyun laughs]
What do you want?
I happened to take a case,
and I need help
from a professional cop like you.
About the two recent death cases
due to airway obstruction in Eunbu-dong.
I need to see the files about them.
Why?
Because
[sighs]
Similar case as those occurred yesterday.
You mean I made a mistake?
No, it's not that.
Three similar cases occurred
in Eunbu-dong in a month.
It looks weird.

She trusts what I told her.
I met an antiquarian,
and he said there are 73 pieces
of great seals missing.
Some of them could be in private homes.
I'm not sure about that,
but we need to check the facts.
There was no teeth mark on the rice cake.
The autopsy is going on.

and meet the bereaved family.
- Okay.
- I'll go to the autopsy room.

I'm Choi Kyungjin from Gangha Station,
who called you earlier.
Can I get the file?
Were you looking for something?
Mother's jewelry is missing.
I know you hid it. Where is it?
I told you, it's not me!
Stop fighting, please.
Jewelry is missing?
Yes.
It's a fake one.
[daughter] Yes.
Everything except fake ones disappeared.
How much is the value
of the missing stuff?
Maybe it's over ten million.
[police officer] One security cam here,
and the victim's house is here.
Is this the only security cam around here?
Right.
[Isoo] It was here?
[son] My father preferred
to keep his fortune in cash.
- I see.
- [Ganghyun] How much
was the cash kept here?
[son] I don't know exactly,
but he also had gold,
so it would be quite a lot.
Did you report to the detective in charge
about the missing money?
[son] Well
We already finished his funeral,
and they said it was an accident.
It's not?

I didn't know it, either.

it could be stolen.
I just thought I lost it by mistake.
I was afraid to be scolded,
so I made a new one
without telling anyone.

It was a real great seal.
He knew it was illegal to possess it,
so he didn't report that it was stolen.

What's this?
May I help you?
[Youngjae and Hwayoung gasps]
[Gyeongsun] He stole
my daughter's painting.
That scarf
A birthday present from my daughter.
[Isoo] I'm here again.
I bought those two paintings.
I like this painting.
[Dojun] That's my work.
[engineer] A sign was left first
before a new painting
was added on it.
[Isoo] Mr. Kwon.
I spent a fortune to buy it,
but there's a problem.
PREVIOUS EPISODE RECAP
[phone ringing]
- Yes?
- The one who bought the scarf
was Kwon Dojun.
I talked with the seller.
Check where he is and tell me.
Call Junyoung, too.
So, I took an X-ray of this painting.
Then I found this.
There's a signature that is not Mr. Noh's.
Under Mr. Noh's painting,
why is your signature hidden?
[paintbrushes clink]
[heavy breathing]
[tires screeching]
[groans]
[exhaling]
Drop that.
You got pale

Stop right there and drop that, okay?
I don't want to hit you.
I learned MMA professionally.
[Dojun groans]

[Dojun groans]

[sighs]
[Dojun breathing]
[Isoo] Now, tell me.
Why did you do that?
[Dojun sighing] Damn.
[dark music]
[quietly] Damn it.
It's been ten years.
[Dojun] For ten years,
I've painted for him.
While hiding my signatures
to mark that these are my paintings.
I watched him become famous using my work,
did errands for his wife,
and took my colleague's paintings away.
Even when Yeseon killed herself,
I just ignored it and kept holding out.
[Youngjae] Oh, Mr. Kwon
is to get scholarship to study abroad?
Jeez I don't know
how to say it.
Actually, the portfolio that he submitted
was all plagiarized.
[Youngjae sighing] As an honest educator,
I think I have to tell you this.
- I'll get going, sir.
- Okay.
[Dojun sobbing] I've held out for my dream
to succeed as a great artist.
[sighing] Damn.
It's all over now.
[Dojun inhaling]
That's disappointing.
I always envied artists
[Isoo] because they seemed
to work hard for their dreams
no matter how hard it was.
But you tried to use Mr. Noh
for your success
and then killed him after failing in it.
What did you say?
Why is that painting your work?
It became famous because it was published
in the name of Noh.
You hid behind that name
and added your signature secretly.
- How pathetic.
- What do you know about me?
What the hell do you know?
[sobbing] You have everything you want,
and you can do anything.
But I can't.
You lived like that for ten years.
It's too long for you to say
you're free of blame.
Stand up.
I don't have handcuffs now,
but don't think about running away.

He needs some discipline.
I'll talk to him.

I'll call you.
[grass bugs chirping]
[inhaling]
Why were you here?
Well
I bought a painting of Mr. Noh
and found something weird on it.
[Ganghyun] So?
I took an X-ray of it
and found a signature
which I had seen here.
So?
So
I came here to find out what was going on.
[sighs]
How did Kwon Dojun
get to stab himself?
Oh, that's just
He told me about his sob story,
so I scolded him.
I was also hit here.
[Isoo] He attacked me first.
I knew you were immature and rude,
but you're worse than I thought.
I didn't expect he would do that.
We caught the criminal,
and he wasn't hurt that much.
Do you still find it funny?
Someone is injured.
You know, I didn't intend this.
I just didn't expect it.
A cop must expect that
and take the responsibility.
Fine, I'll take the responsibility.
The police
never work individually
but as an organization.
You still don't understand that.
[Ganghyun sighs]
I don't have
any power or right to reject you.
I should lead you as your team leader.
It feels like
I have a bomb on my head.

you'll be gone, which is my only hope.

got hurt?
What if he was stabbed and killed
by the criminal?
I'm sorry, sir.

[secretary] Sir.
You should depart now.
Who made this punk a team leader?
[door closes]
[shallow breathing]
Just move to another station.
You're making too much fuss here.
Why should I do that?
You know the reason
why I hate you, right?
[heavy music]
You can't hide
where you come from.
My father was just framed.
You're misunderstanding about him.
[Ganghyun] You know who my father is.
You know him very well.
He was your direct supervisor.
You never know someone's true sides.
I learned it while working in this field.
You'd better
stop shielding your father
and face the case realistically.

I'm fine. It's not a big deal.
Get prepared to go out.
Let's go.
Jeez I'm fine.
[Isoo exhaling]
[dark music]
[Dojun] On that day,
I came out
and headed back in through the back door.
[Dojun] Near the back door,
there's no security camera.
And I stabbed him.
[Youngjae groans]
[Dojun grunts]
[Youngjae groans]
Gosh, You punk.
[Dojun] I was so scared
that I just ran away.
[shallow sigh]
Is that all?
Yes.
[dark music]
What about the paint?
That was not me.
I went back to beg him to forgive me
or reveal
that those paintings were all mine.
But then, I found him dead.
[breathing shakily]
I didn't know what to do.
I was out of my mind and crashed a car.
And the paint case suddenly hit me.
I didn't stab him deeply.
I thought it was possible
that Yeseon's mother
killed him to revenge.
You came back because you
could frame her as the murderer?
[sobbing]
[Ganghyun sighs shallowly]
[inhaling]
[shallow sigh]
Our assumption is different.
We think you planned
to disguise as Oh Gyeongsun
and kill Mr. Noh in the first place.
No, it was just an impulsive behavior.
Then, why did you buy the scarf?
Sca
Scarf?
[Ganghyun] This scarf.
You bought it to disguise
as Oh Gyeongsun, right?
[Junyoung] September 13th in Saseok-dong.
We confirmed that you bought it.
Wait. September
September 13th.
Oh, that was an errand for Mr. Noh's wife.
She told me to pick up the stuff.
So I got her that.
Was that a scarf?
If you didn't kill him,
why did you stab yourself?
[clenching teeth] I stabbed Noh anyway,
and my life is over now.
[Dojun sobbing]
Then, Joo Hwayoung was the culprit?
She may have planned it
after setting the day
for replacing the security cameras.
[Junyoung] She let Kwon buy the scarf
and disguised as Oh Gyeongsun.
She took a taxi on purpose.
[Ganghyun] But
she didn't expect Kwon
to stab him before her.
[panting] Honey
Call an ambulance for me.
Kwon Dojun
just stabbed me.
[panting]
[groans]
[suspenseful music]
[Youngjae groans]
[Youngjae grunts]
[Ganghyun] But we have no evidence
to prove it.
[Junyoung] Kwon Dojun, the only witness
is another suspect.
So, what do we do now?
[Ganghyun] Joo Hwayoung.
Let's investigate her again.
[machine operating sound]
[door opens]
Everything is normal.
I told you, I didn't need this.
The chairman was worried about you.
Seems like he's so desperate
to be the mayor
that he even plays a good father.
- The chairman is just--
- I'll get going.
I'm busy investigating a murder case.
How's your work
as a police officer?
It's so fun.
I'm off.
Call me if you have a headache
or feel dizzy.
[Isoo] Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

"DETECTIVE JIN, SEVERELY INJURED,
ARRESTED THE GALLERY MURDER CASE SUSPECT"
[phone vibrates]
[Isoo] Come for a bribe.
[Kyungjin] Wow, awesome!
[romantic music playing]
[Isoo] I'll do it myself.
Thanks.
Enjoy.
Never had such a tasty bribe.
By the way,
what do you think?
Did I do something wrong?
Something wrong? You?
Yes.
Ganghyun was mad at me so much.
Want me to list your faults up
- from your first day?
- No.
From yesterday.
You acted without reporting anyone.
That's the problem.
I just went there to ask something.
You must share anything
related to the investigation.
Ms. Lee decides how to investigate.
You should've told her.
If you find out anything,
report me first.
Don't do anything alone.
And the suspect was injured.
Ganghyun might be punished for that.
He just stabbed himself.
Why would she be punished?
That's how an organization works.
And she is somewhat hated
by her superiors.
Why is she hated?
Didn't you say
she's the youngest inspector ever?
Yes, absolutely.
She arrested 34 vicious criminals
for only three years.
But there is a story behind her.
What story?
Well
I'm not the one to tell you.
Ask her yourself later
when you two get close.
Hmm
Excuse me.
Get me what I ordered earlier.
[Isoo] I bought a winery last year.
This is from there.
How much is this wine?
[manager] It's 3.2 million won.
[Isoo] Open it, please.
[wine bottle taps]
Wow.
[wine opener operating sound]
This is the one I could never reject.
I'll try some.
[dark music]
Her father worked
in the Violent Crime field for 30 years.
He was called "Hook."
He was a legendary figure.
- And then?
- And then
a few months before his retirement,
[Kyungjin] he was caught
for accepting a bribe.
How much was that?
Maybe it was a box full of cash.
He was dismissed for that.
So what?
It can't be a reason to hate her.
They don't think so.
Even worse, our chief
was a hearing inspector
who investigated that case.
But Ms. Lee is managing
to endure all of these.
Superiors hate her,
and people badmouth her.
She even became a team leader
at such a young age,
making some of them jealous.
But there's one more problem.
The real culprit seems to be Joo Hwayoung.
[heavy music]
Make it clear.
- Are you in or not?
- [Jinkyu's friend] In.
[Jinkyu's friends respond]
[Jinkyu's friends chattering]
[grass bugs chirping]

You'll be moved to a VIP room.
What?
VIP room. We're transferring you now.
This way, please.
[door closes]
"WE HOPE YOU GET WELL
HANSU GROUP"
[Isoo exclaims]
[Isoo] This room looks so clean and nice.
This is only for VIP patients.
I'll pay all the cost for these.
Don't worry about that.
You're here to apologize?
No.
I won't apologize.
For physical and mental damage,
you can claim compensation from me.
I'll give you as much as you want.
Or study abroad with that money.
[scoffs]
Study abroad? I'm going to jail.
You didn't cause him a deadly wound.
If you write a sincere letter of apology,
the judge may go easy on you.
Is his wife the culprit?
It seems so,
but we don't have evidence.
Oh.
Then
didn't you find a key
from Mr. Noh's clothes?
[suspicious music]
[phone vibrates]
Need a plastic bag?
No, it's fine.

[Isoo] Ms. Lee. I found out a new fact!
[birds chirping]
[breathing]
[grunts]
[exhaling]
Have breakfast.
I'm not hungry.
But you should eat some before you go.
- I'm off.
- [Misook] Wait.
Deliver it to the house
across the street on your way.
- Why?
- You have to ask?
Our neighbor has nothing to eat
in his place.
No, I won't do that.
You never say yes to me at once.
[cup thuds]
Take it and deliver it.
[sighs]
Mom.
You don't know who that guy is?
You don't have to worry about him at all.
Why?
Is he someone famous?
[sighs]
I hope you sometimes watch the news
other than dramas.
News is always boring and gloomy.
Dramas are much more interesting.
I'm leaving.
[Misook] Who's that guy?
Is he famous?
[Isoo exclaims]
What's up?
[Isoo sniffing]
It stinks more than usual today.
[inhaling]
[Ganghyun sighs]
Oh, morning coffee for you, Ms. Lee.
I couldn't reach you yesterday.
You didn't ignore my call, right?
Why are you suddenly being polite?
I found new information
to arrest Joo Hwayoung.
- What's that?
- I met Kwon Dojun yesterday.
You met whom?
Not for investigation.
I just visited him to see if he's okay.
So?
[tense music]
He said Mr. Noh
always carried a key at his waist.
It was a key for his private safe.
Joo once asked Kwon to steal it from Noh.
There was no key at the scene.
Because Joo took it.
We can arrest her with that.
Okay.
I promise I'll ask you before I move.
I swear.
[scoffs]
After the scholarship was cancelled,
Mr. Kwon planned
to disguise as Oh Gyeongsun
and kill Mr. Noh.
We found evidence
that he bought the same scarf
as the one that Oh Gyeongsun had.
I heard Mr. Kwon
stabbed himself.
Yes, he did it when he was arrested,
and
he died this morning.
Oh, my gosh.
[Hwayoung sighing] Poor guy.
I'll get going now.
[sighs]

Hey.
[scoffing] It's not me
but that woman who killed him.
[sighs]
Confess now.
I told you, that woman is a murderer.
I have nothing to do with this--
[Screams]
[bright music]
Shut up, you fucking asshole!
[Hwayoung] Come here!
Jeez, that must hurt.
- You, asshole.
- Take her out.
[Hwayoung] Come here, you bastard.
Gosh, it's so Instagrammable.
[Hwayoung yelling]
- [laughing] Hey, it's not me.
- Bae Jinkyu!
Oh, gosh!
Come on, she's the one who murdered him.
[Hwayoung] You, fucking trash. Come here!
[Jinkyu] Hey, she's out to kill one more.
Killing one more.

Why didn't you tell me you were moving?
It just happened suddenly.
Let's get in.
[Shallow exclamation]
Welcome to my humble house.
[Seungju] Yes, it's really humble.
[laughing shallowly] You're the first--
No.
You're the second guest here.
[shallow laugh]
Have a seat.
Okay.
[rattling]
[Isoo] Here, I made a little coffee.
[cup thuds]
[Isoo exclaims shallowly]
You're acting out again?
[Isoo] I'm not a child anymore.
That's what I'm saying.
[Seungju inhaling]
Just move next to my house.
I've got a new one for you.
I like this place.
[Seungju] It doesn't suit you.
It's too small and uncomfortable.
It suits Detective Jin Isoo.
Oh.
[Isoo] Today,
someone called me, "Detective."
It sounded great.
- Your heart's set on it this time?
- Yes.
Yes, indeed.
[laughs]
[announcer] The Seoul mayoral election
is just 40 days away.
Approval ratings of Jin Myeongchul,
Hansu Group's chairman,
and Wang Jongtae,
the three-time legislator
are fighting within the margin of error.
As Jin has grown Hansu
for the last ten years
to be a world-class company,
people seem to place high hopes
on his managing skills.
Next up.
Jin Myeongchul's son Jin Isoo,
the Senior Inspector,
curated an exhibition
for a plagiarized painter
who committed suicide.
According to the staff,
Jin opened this exhibition
to reveal that the paintings are
by a plagiarized artist named Lee Yeseon--
What are you drinking?
I'm taking care of myself.
It's part of blood sugar management.
You never share such a good thing.
"JIN'S 'NOBLESSE OBLIGE'"
Did you receive a bribe from Hansu?
I could be lured for about two billion,
but they aren't calling me.
Then, what's that?
Why do you keep talking Jin Isoo up?
To humiliate him hard later.
A good reputation
leads to a more significant downfall.
Hey.
[Joseph] Come on.
I'll introduce you to someone.
"KIM JEONGYEON"
[keyboard clacking]
[tense music]
Hello.
[Joseph laughs shallowly]
[rattling]
[kettle clinking]
The world is simpler
than it looks.
People who keep their position well
can manage the system.
[laughs]
Please don't be too polite.
You know we're scared
of reporters the most.
[Jongtae and Joseph laugh]
There are some guys
who try to cross the line
like Jin Myeongchul.
Why does a businessman
who only pursues money
want to be a politician?
You don't think so?
What do you want from me?
[Jongtae exclaims shallowly]
Jin Myeongchul's weak point is his son,
Jin Isoo.
Dig into him.
Reveal that he's an illegitimate son,
and
[rustling]
how his mother died.
[Jongtae] You don't have to do it now.
Let's drop the bombshell
three days before the election.
All the newspapers will report
about Jin Isoo,
and people will get suspicious.
[tongue clacking]
[Jongtae] We'll make them vote
at that moment.

Oh, isn't it dead?
It will die if you do nothing.
Then, what should I do?
[bicycle pedaling sound]
[bicycle chain clanking]
What's with him?
[doorbell chimes]
[bright music]
You need to spray pesticide.
[Isoo] What?
[shallow exclamation]
[pumping sound]
[shallow exclamation]
[spraying pesticide]
- Get out of the way.
- Oh.
[pumping sound]
I'm working with Lee Ganghyun.
I know. I heard it.
Oh, you did?
[pumping sound]
Is it severe?
[Hyungjun] Not too severe yet.
I was worried that it was dead.
It's me who planted this tree.
You lived here before?
I had lived here until I was seven,
and I came back now.
[mellow music]
[door opens]
[grass bugs chirping]
[door closes]
[Hyungjun] Hey, kid.
Look at me.
You okay?
[sighing] No, forget it.
Hey, what's up with you?
Hey.
I'll call ambul--
[Hyungjun] You okay?
[shallow sigh]
[pumping sound]
I'm not tall enough for this.
You spray up there.
Spray it again after a week.
Be careful not to let it stain
on your hand.
[Isoo] Thank you.
[breathing]
[Misook] Eat some before you go.
[slurping]
Gosh, it's hot.
Your stomach aches
if you eat something cold in the morning.

[exhaling]
[cup clinks]
I'm off.
[Misook] Deliver that kimchi to him.
[interesting music]
Gosh, you startled me.
What's this?
[Ganghyun dusts hands]
My mom sent it to you.
For your information,
[tapping kimchi box]
this will be very salty.
I recommend not eating it.
[tapping kimchi box]
[Ganghyun] Hurry up, or you'll be late.
[Isoo] Wait up.
[Isoo stepping quickly]
Oh, you cleaned the car.
Good job.
Shut up.
Hey, it's a compliment.
[Isoo tutting]
I met your father this morning.
- My father?
- Yes.
He helped me
take care of the tree in my yard.
You mean, my father got into your house?
Right.
Why?
No, it's just He hardly comes outside.
Heard of the exhibition?
What exhibition?
The exhibition of Lee Yeseon.
Haven't heard of it.
[Isoo] What kind of cop
doesn't watch the news?
There was an article about it.
Do you think
I have time to watch the news?
Do you?
[Isoo] Jeez, we don't click.
We really don't click.
10/5 Ugok-ro.
- [Kyungjin] Good morning.
- [Ganghyun] You're early.
[Junyoung] Okay, I got it.
I'll be there soon.
A dead body was found in Eunbu-dong.
Really? Let's go.
What are you going to do with him?
Let's wait and see.
He said he'd do better.
Why does Park look at me like that?
Because he hates you.
I see.
I hate him, too.
This way for Jin,
and that way for Kyungjin.
Ask around every neighbor in this alley
about the victim.
Ask them if they saw anything suspicious.
[Isoo] Hey, hey.
- Every house here?
- [Ganghyun] Sure.
[clapping sound]
Start.
[Kyungjin] Yes, ma'am.
[Isoo] Hey

How can I do it all by myself?

Excuse me.
[Isoo] Police.
What are you doing now?
Oh, the tree.
You're planting trees, right?
Do you know the elderly
living across the street?
No, we don't.
[Isoo] Oh, you don't.
Why are you planting trees so scarily?
Is this a tree club?
[Ganghyun sighs shallowly]
Oh, you're here.
Yes. Found out anything?
No, not yet.
No?
We'll see.
[granddaughter] I
[dark music]
I visit here from time to time.
I was going to come yesterday,
[sobbing]
but something came up, so I couldn't.
[sobbing] I called him this morning
but he didn't answer,
so I came here and saw him.
[granddaughter sobbing]
Did he have
a chronic disease or something like that?
He had a hypertension
and arthritis, but he was healthy.
[granddaughter sobbing]
What was his daily life like?
Well
He only went to church,
and he hardly went out.
I did grocery shopping
and cooked for him when I came here.
If I had been here yesterday
he wouldn't have died, right?
[sobbing]
[Ganghyun] Currently,
it looks like an accident.
[sobbing]
It's no one's fault.
[sobbing]
Did you find something?
[Jiwon sighs]
[Jiwon] A rice cake
was stuck in his throat.
An elderly who lived alone
passed away in solitude.
You live alone, right?
Where do you live?
Near Gangha Station.
Oh.
I live around there, too.
[Ganghyun approaching]
[Ganghyun] It's done?
[Jiwon] Yes.
There's nothing special.
[Ganghyun] Right.
No sign of forcible entry.
The cash in the wallet
remains untouched, too.
[Ganghyun] Seems like an accident.
[Jiwon] Yes.
"NO ENTRY. UNDER INVESTIGATION"
Found out anything?
[Kyungjin] Nothing special.
The victim had
no connection with neighbors.
[Isoo] All that I've found out
is that a scary woman lives in that house,
some innocent guys with tattoo
are planting trees in that house,
and in that house, a very scary dog--
Where's she going?
Is it finished?
It feels like a dog training.
It's just my feeling, right?

You don't know who I am.
Just a moment.

[Isoo] Ms. Lee!

This is a murder case.
Come over quickly.
[Ganghyun] What the hell?
[Junyoung] He's overacting again.
That's what he is.
I'm not overacting.
I've got a secret report.
A secret report?
You think this is a movie?
The victim's granddaughter was here.
Said he never ate rice cake
because it's stodgy,
so it's impossible that he ate it.
- His granddaughter was here?
- Yes.
And she said this is missing.
What?
[Kyungjin] What's this?
Don't be surprised.
[Isoo] This is
[suspenseful music]
the seal of Korea.
Oh, really?
Yes.
[Ganghyun scoffs]
[scoffing] No way.
[Junyoung scoffs]
The seal of Korea?
Wow.
[scoffs]
Why is the great seal
in a private house?
[Ganghyun] Right. Maybe it's something
like a black letter weight.
No, it's not.
He told his granddaughter in secret
that it's a real great seal.
No way.
[sighing] Jeez.
Then, why is this missing?
Why do you think it's missing?
It could be broken and thrown away,
or it was given to someone.
She doesn't live there,
so maybe she didn't know.
Someone could have broken in, killed him,
and taken this away.
[Junyoung] This is not a robbery case.
There was no sign of forcible entry,
and the cash in his wallet wasn't touched.
What if I'm right?
What if you're wrong?
[Junyoung] Can I beat you?
[Isoo] Okay, deal.
If I'm right, I'll beat you.
- Great.
- [Isoo] Okay.
I warn you. I'll beat you
on the chin very strongly.
There's a reason
that I learned MMA professionally.
Kyungjin, call an ambulance.
[Isoo] I'm a southpaw fighter!
Hey, you both stop it and go home.
[Junyoung sighs]

Jeez
Okay, let's see.
Just wait there.
Whose side should I stand on?
Better get back to work anyway.

[Dr. Go] Oh, I heard from him.

What's this?
This is a Goryeo celadon
called Girin Incense Burner.
[Dr. Go laughs]
It's a fake one.
[gasps]
Did you bring your stuff?
What?
You want me to assess your stuff, right?
No, I'm here for
this one.
The possibility that this stuff
could be the real great seal?
Yes?
- That's possible.
- Oh my gosh.
[Dr. Go] The great seals that have
been produced since Joseon Dynasty
are a total of 412 pieces,
but 73 pieces of them have disappeared.
Many of them were taken
to Japan or the U.S.,
but some of them could be sold secretly.
And look at this.
Using black paint is a common method
employed by brokers of stolen goods
to conceal them.
The great seal is so special
that anyone can recognize
its golden color.
I see.
[inhaling]
If this is a real one
If it's real
it'll be the National Seal
of Korean Empire
adopted by Gojong.
Awesome.
Have you ever seen a real great seal?
No.
20 years ago,
I only heard a rumor
that Choi Sangsoo had one of them.

What do you want?
I happened to take a case,
and I need help
from a professional cop like you.
About the two recent death cases
due to airway obstruction in Eunbu-dong.
I need to see the files about them.
Why?
Because
[sighs]
Similar case as those occurred yesterday.
You mean I made a mistake?
No, it's not that.
Three similar cases occurred
in Eunbu-dong in a month.
It looks weird.
So you're trying
to reverse your senior's cases.

It may be

She trusts what I told her.
I met an antiquarian,
and he said there are 73 pieces

Some of them could be in private homes.
I'm not sure about that,
but we need to check the facts.
There was no teeth mark on the rice cake.
The autopsy is going on.

it's a serial murder case.

and meet the bereaved family.
- Okay.
- I'll go to the autopsy room.

I'm Choi Kyungjin from Gangha Station,

Can I get the file?
Were you looking for something?
Mother's jewelry is missing.
I know you hid it. Where is it?
I told you, it's not me!
Stop fighting, please.
Jewelry is missing?
Yes.
It's a fake one.
[daughter] Yes.
Everything except fake ones disappeared.
How much is the value
of the missing stuff?
Maybe it's over ten million.
[police officer] One security cam here,
and the victim's house is here.
Is this the only security cam around here?
Right.
[Isoo] It was here?
[son] My father preferred
to keep his fortune in cash.
- I see.
- [Ganghyun] How much
was the cash kept here?
[son] I don't know exactly,
but he also had gold,
so it would be quite a lot.
Did you report to the detective in charge
about the missing money?
[son] Well
We already finished his funeral,
and they said it was an accident.
It's not?
We're still on investigation.
We'll call you again.

[priest] I can't believe
something like this happened.
Three people died
in a month?
Oh, Lord.
It seems that the criminal targeted them.
Did people around them know
that they were rich?
[priest] No, not at all.
I didn't know it, either.
They were always simply dressed.
I have never seen them
spend a lot of money.
Were those three close to each other?
I don't think so.
They just came here
and attended a service quietly.
"AUTOPSY RESULT"
"NICOTINE AND ZOLPIDEM DETECTED"
Here it is.
[dark music]
What did you find?
Here.
It's a needle mark.
[Jiwon] It was hidden on a mole.
[Jiwon scoffs]
This is amazing, right?
So they administered nicotine
through injection, right?
[Jiwon] Right.
Why are you disappointed?
Oh.
I'm going to be beaten.
Oh.
Can I also schedule a time
to beat you?
[shallow laugh]
[Jiwon laughs shallowly]
Come to me if your jaws are dislocated.
I'm good at fixing it.
[shallow laugh]
[magnifying glass thuds]
[Ganghyun] How did they pick the targets?
[Isoo breathing]
There's one who can see
the devotees' financial state.
[fingers tipping]
"CHURCH OFFICE"
The accountant.
An accountant could see
who paid how much tithe.
[knocking]
Excuse me.
Police.
What? Police?
To be honest
[sobbing] the account book
disappeared two months ago.
[accountant] I didn't think
it could be stolen.
I just thought I lost it by mistake.
I was afraid to be scolded,
so I made a new one
without telling anyone.
[accountant sobbing]
[sobbing] Was it because of me
that they passed away?
[accountant crying]
- Am I going to jail?
- No, no.
[Isoo] Don't cry.
You're not going to jail.
- Everyone makes a mistake.
- [accountant] I'm so sorry, Lord.
[accountant crying]
I don't want to go to jail.

Lee Geonu.
[Isoo] Lim Bokhee.
Choi Sangsoo.
- Choi Sangsoo?
- [Dr. Go] 20 years ago,
I only heard a rumor
that Choi Sangsoo had one of them.
[inhaling] Choi Sangsoo.
I heard he had a great seal in his house.
[Isoo] Look, I was right.
It was a real great seal.
He knew it was illegal to possess it,
so he didn't report that it was stolen.
[paper rustling]
[Ganghyun] How did it go?
They're professional.
Zolpidem was detected in his stomach,
and the cause of death
is acute nicotinism.
They injected it secretly
through the mole.
[scoffs]
[file rustling]
What the hell?
Beat me.
What?
Oh, that deal?
Okay. I'll beat you on your chin.
Clench your teeth, okay?
Okay, I'll do it.
[Isoo breathing]
[Isoo inhaling]
[Isoo] Like this? Gosh.
[Isoo grunts]
What are you doing?
I'll keep it.
I'll beat you when you're not alert.
Do it now.
Quickly.
[Isoo] You want it now?
[Ganghyun] You both stop it.
Are you children?
[Isoo] No.
- It's Park who first--
- [Ganghyun] Stay focused.
Three people died.
Victims were all going to the same church,
and the culprit
used the stolen account book
to choose the targets.
- Security cam?
- [Kyungjin] I found the suspects.
But due to a low camera quality,
I can't identify the faces
and the number plate.
[Ganghyun scoffs]
They entered the house in daylight.
Did the victim open the door?
What are they holding in his hands?
[breathing]
By the way, is it common these days
to take a funeral photo at home?
[tense music]
Look.
These are all taken at home.

Thank you for cooperation.
Thank you.

the victim's funeral photo for free.
I heard the same thing.
They don't know who they are.

They planned it thoroughly.
