(All characters, organizations,
and events in this drama are fictitious.)
(April 2005)
Let's watch "Crying Fist."
"Innocent Steps" just came out
in theaters.
Let's watch that.
Hey, Joo Song.
Our exams just ended.
"Innocent Steps?" What are you saying?
"Crying Fist" is the way to go.
That's right.
I vote for "Crying Fist" too.
What about you?
I want to watch "Kingdom of Heaven."
Hey, that doesn't open in theaters
until next week.
Really? Why did you hit me?
Hey, let's decide when we get there.
The class president went to see a movie
with Yoon Jin and Jae Gyeong.
I can't even reach him.
(Park Tae Jin)
Sang Eui.
(Jeong Sang Eui)
Jeong Sang Eui!
Chae Kyung Tae.
Did that jerk take
your money again?
(Park Tae Jin)
We're going on our own without Jun Seo.
(Forced expulsion is
oppression of our rights to live!)
(Pilo-dong)
(Park Tae Jin, Jeong Yoon Ho)
(Oh Chi Hyun)
(Won Jong Soo)
(Connection)
(Say no to redevelopment
without the residents' agreement!)
I arrived about ten minutes early,
but I wasn't the first to arrive.
Who's there?
Jeong Sang Eui?
It's you, Tae Jin.
Did Jun Seo tell you to come here too?
Yes.
That looks like a switch.
Will you flip it?
Okay.
That'll do.
What's this?
He called you to come too?
What about Park Jun Seo?
Where was he then?
- Upstairs.
- "Upstairs?"
Explain further.
You guys arrived at the construction site,
and Park Jun Seo was
on the ninth floor. Correct?
Yes.
But how did you know
he was on the ninth floor?
The lights came on.
What time is it now?
It's almost 11:30 p.m.
What?
He must be up there.
Hey, Park Jun Seo!
Are you up there?
Come on down, punk!
(Seeing danger is
the first step to safety.)
We should go up.
Hey, how can we ride that?
Jun Seo went up by taking that too.
Hey.
(Beware of falling objects)
Darn it.
(Freight elevator)
Everyone must've been nervous
because no one was talking.
And I think we were passing
the fourth floor or so.
Just as we were looking over
at Pilo-dong through the wire mesh
Did you see that?
We all tried to
look over the wire in shock,
but we couldn't see much.
That's when Jun Seo fell?
Yes.
Are you saying he killed himself?
Just when you guys were in the elevator,
Jun Seo jumped from the ninth floor?
I didn't say he jumped.
We only saw him fall.
Are you
making an alibi for the others?
Who saw Jun Seo fall?
Did you see it too?
Jong Soo and Tae Jin saw it.
So you didn't go to the ninth floor?
Tae Jin pressed the stop button.
Hey, Park Jun Seo. Are you up there?
Let's go down.
(Elevator Safety Protocol)
(Beware of falling objects)
(Beware of falling objects)
Who is it?
It's not Jun Seo, is it?
Is it Jun Seo?
Who is it?
It's Jun Seo.
Did you check too?
Yes.
Did you see with your own eyes
if Jun Seo was dead,
or did you assume he was dead?
Tae Jin went up to him
and checked his pulse.
Tae Jin?
Then he said we should get out of there.
That it wouldn't help anyone if word
got out that we were there that late.
Tae Jin said that too?
Was it all Park Tae Jin?
You lot can't do anything without him.
What then?
We all left the way we came in.
We went our separate ways
at the main road.
We found our own ways home.
You guys
You did the same 20 years ago
when Chae Kyung Tae died.
You provided each other
with witness statements and alibis.
Do you think you can
get away with it this time?
Whether you believe me or not
is up to you.
If what you said is true,
Jun Seo called you all there
at 11:30 p.m. to say something.
He came to me before he died
and said
he'd put everything back in order.
He said that only to jump
to his death right when
you guys were on your way up?
Do you think that makes sense?
You guys in the elevator.
One is capable of killing others
without getting
a drop of blood on their hands.
Another is capable of carrying out
a task as soon as the order is given.
And the third is capable
of covering it all up.
If just one of those three
had a reason that what Jun Seo
wanted to say couldn't come out,
then it's possible.
You just had to get someone
to push Jun Seo
when you all could alibi each other out.
But what are you?
A spectator who just watches,
whatever they do?
Is that what you are?
You're the investigator.
That's for you to find out.
There's a mill by the corner
of the construction site.
Under the eaves of that mill
is a CCTV camera.
Did you know that?
No.
In the video
taken from before 11:30 p.m.
until after 11:40 p.m.,
none of you, including you, were filmed.
If you'd taken a taxi
to Pilo-dong's main road
and walked from there,
you wouldn't have been filmed
because you came from another direction.
But how did the others
manage to get into the site
without being caught on camera?
I don't know how they came in.
But
I'm sure they all came
through the alley by the mill.
What you told me
made things much clearer for me.
Someone in the group of people
that were there killed Jun Seo.
And that person thought
they were caught
on the mill's security camera
and killed the mill owner.
Would you like to kill time elsewhere?
No. I'll wait here.
Okay.
Hey.
Are you sure
the appointment was confirmed?
Hello.
Where about is the mayor now?
Okay, thanks.
He's almost here.
Mr. Oh!
Call again.
Okay.
I am so very late. I apologize.
It's fine.
Please, take a seat.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mayor.
Likewise.
You must be hungry. Let's eat first.
Serve the food.
Just a moment.
I'm sorry,
but I ate at my previous appointment.
I have another meeting right after,
so how about we have tea instead?
Sure.
You're a busy man,
so I'll get right to the point.
I asked to meet you today
because I might be able to
get the chance to assist you.
- Is that so?
- You want to make
Anhyun City a bioindustry complex.
I do.
Then you must sign a deal
with the major pharmaceutical companies,
and your term ends in four years.
You want and need
visible results before the next election.
I would.
Keumhyung will take the lead
and build a bioindustry complex.
If this is a success, it could become
a friendship that you could
benefit from in the future when you
go on to bigger things.
You must know that
Keumhyung Group's network
can assist you well.
Keumhyung Group's sales last year.
How much was it?
I know what you're trying to say, but
After this meeting was scheduled,
I memorized some numbers.
Your sales were 3.22 billion dollars.
A 9.2 percent drop from the year before.
Your business loss
was 62.2 million dollars.
That's a loss three years in a row.
I heard the banks have decided to
increase the interest rate
on your existing loans
while refusing to loan you any more.
Hearing a company like that
wants to lead the way
makes me anxious.
Yes.
I said I'd lead the way
because Keumhyung Group
and Yigu Electronics' Vice-Chairman Han
as well as many influential men
from Yeouido's financial district
You are
the third person
just this week to meet me
with a plan to do this or that
to improve Anhyun City.
They all claimed to have the backing
of powerful people.
I don't think
I can do business with a man
who dares to guarantee my future
as a politician when we just met.
It makes me too uneasy.
- Mr. Mayor. I meant
- Please, excuse me.
Mr. Mayor.
I'm
Lee Myung Guk.
He was your superior, right?
You'll have heard
his body was found recently.
Yes.
What did he do here?
He researched generic drugs mostly.
What did you think
he was like as a person?
Was he in enough trouble
or under threat
that he'd suddenly disappear
and then show up dead?
How much do you know about Jun Seo?
What?
You were close friends 20 years ago,
but you have no idea
what he was thinking before he died.
That's why you're doing this.
Mr. Lee
was nothing more or less
than a superior at work.
What kind of person someone's like
and what goes on around them?
You never know until they tell you.
So
what will you do now?
I'll ask everyone
why they didn't share
that they were at the scene.
Why?
You don't want them to know you talked?
Don't worry. I'll take care of that.
What I said today.
Do you believe it all?
No.
What about you?
Do you
also think Jun Seo killed himself?
- No.
- Why not?
I saw it.
But
at the time,
no one saw it.
His shoes.
He was wearing his shoes.
Jun Seo's shoes were found
on the ninth floor which was assumed
to be where he jumped.
But the elevator on-site wasn't
on the ninth floor, but the first.
(Keumhyung)
- Mr. Oh.
- What?
Inside
(Keumhyung Pharmaceutical
Chief Secretary Oh Chi Hyun)
What are you doing here?
I have a meeting pretty soon.
(Keumhyung Pharmaceutical
Chief Secretary Oh Chi Hyun)
Depending on the situation
you might have to miss it.
What's up?
If you so much as abduct or bribe
Yoon Jin or anyone,
I'll come after you.
What will you do?
Find out for yourself.
Hey.
Why are you two doing this to me?
It's true I went too far for fear
Yoon Jin would cause a fuss,
and as a result, I failed.
She returned the money yesterday.
She'd spent quite a bit, though.
If you came to talk about that,
how about we not bother?
Do you mind?
You.
Why did you kill Jun Seo?
- What?
- February 23, at 11:30 p.m.
You must remember.
You were there.
Don't people kill themselves
in deserted places?
A construction site is a great place.
But why were you there?
If someone else was there,
it's no longer called a suicide.
Who said I was there?
You should ask
if I have proof you were there.
Why would you ask who told me?
What?
Did you suddenly think of someone
who could testify you were there?
Why did you kill Park Jun Seo?
Jun Seo killed himself.
How so?
I went there
because Jun Seo told me to come.
I took the elevator up
because he seemed to be upstairs,
but he jumped.
Couldn't you have
gotten someone to push him?
- Did Jong Soo tell you to do it?
- Jang Jae Gyeong.
Is that loyalty or devotion?
Why are you so riled up?
Think about it.
Jun Seo knew something about Jong Soo,
and Jong Soo didn't like it.
And you're someone who does as he's told.
Won Jong Soo, Park Tae Jin,
Jeong Sang Eui. You were all together.
You refused to give up names.
You have some loyalty in you
from your high school days.
You're tight-lipped.
How did you get into the site,
and where did you exit from?
I parked by the road in Jungji-dong
and walked in through an alley.
There was nowhere to park there.
Did you leave the same way?
Did you meet up with someone?
Jeong Sang Eui?
Did you know there was a camera?
No.
You're not surprised.
I thought it would be surprising.
I'll ask one more thing.
After Jun Seo landed,
who confirmed he was dead?
Does it matter who checked?
You should've checked,
even if you meant to kill him.
Tae Jin checked.
Was Jun Seo wearing shoes then?
I don't know.
It was dark, and I was stunned
by the fact that he'd fallen.
Didn't someone say his shoes
were found on the ninth floor?
Oh, yes. Right.
I'll let you get back to work.
Tell the others I came to talk to you.
Remember the questions I've asked
and tell them about it
so you can come up with a story.
I'll be back if I find evidence.
I'm glad you returned the cash
to Oh Chi Hyun.
Good for you.
Now let's stop digging into this case.
When I heard you'd been abducted,
my legs almost gave way.
I thought I'd lose my mind.
Let Jae Gyeong investigate
and focus on your newspaper stuff.
I'd like you to do that.
And Woonjong Medical Center?
There must've been
a designated salesperson.
We hadn't been able to supply
Woonjong Medical Center.
Jun Seo got us in
because he'd met the director
at a gathering.
That was why
Jun Seo went to so many events.
Put your health first.
You even order herbal tea
at cafes instead of coffee.
It's too dangerous. Quit it.
Did you hear me?
- What?
- Did you hear me?
Let's stop digging in this case.
- Yes, okay.
- Good.
Hey.
As an insurance salesman,
is there a company you want to sign with?
A place you tried to get into
many times but failed.
- Manbae Electronics.
- Manbae Electronics?
Let's say I know
their Head of General Affairs very well.
So I pull some strings and get you in
so you can sell policies to their staff.
Can you really do that?
No, I meant hypothetically.
Oh, okay.
Then would you give me business cards
and let me sell policies for you?
- No.
- No, right?
You'd sell them yourself
or get your minion to do it, right?
- Right.
- Yes.
Exactly.
Jun Seo was an estate agent.
Even if he helped them
supply to Woonjong Medical Center,
does it make sense
he had a business card
and delivered them himself too?
He did what?
Hey.
This is weird, right?
(Keumhyung Pharmaceutical,
Park Jun Seo)
But what's weirder is that
Keumhyung Pharmaceutical made
some bad medicine.
Why would Jun Seo go around apologizing
and keeping people's mouths shut?
Was that Jun Seo's fault?
He wasn't even an employee there.
Says who?
Oh Chi Hyun.
Hey.
You said Hyun Woo saw me get abducted
and told you, right?
Yes.
Okay, then I should meet with him first.
- Yoon Jin.
- Why?
Didn't you hear what I said earlier?
What?
Hey, we should stop
looking into this case.
If you keep chasing this story,
you might really get into big trouble
and get badly hurt.
Then what use would
all that insurance money be?
Hey, Joo Song.
Fine.
Thank you for saying that
out of concern for me.
But am I doing this
so that I can live well by myself?
I know, but
Wanting to live with my own daughter.
Is that such a greedy thing to want?
Have you ever had your child
taken away right before your eyes
in a divorce just because
you didn't make as much money?
Hey, that ex-husband of yours
isn't even making a living or anything.
Then, doesn't that mean
you can bring Ye Eun?
Am I any different?
At least he has some money saved up.
I really don't have anything.
I'm penniless.
If I bring Ye Eun here in my situation,
how can I be sure that I can raise her
better than in Canada?
I'm just saying it's dangerous.
Hey, don't worry.
I've been a reporter for 15 years.
Do you think my path has
always been flowery all that time?
I'm off to school.
All right.
I was coming outside
from grocery shopping,
and Jang Jae Gyeong,
Heo Joo Song, and Oh Yoon Jin
came out of that alley.
There aren't that many houses up there.
Isn't it strange?
Who are you?
What?
Oh, are you
a friend of Mr. Park Jun Seo's?
Oh
- Yes.
- I see.
I heard that Mr. Park passed away.
Yes, that's right.
But how
How did you know Jun Seo?
He came by often.
Oh, by any chance,
are there any surviving relatives
of Mr. Park's?
I wasn't able to go to the funeral.
He has a wife.
Is that so?
So
Oh, right.
Please wait just a little.
Oh, my.
Oh, well
I'm sorry, but Here.
Couldn't you give it to her for me?
Gosh, please do that for me.
(Min Hyun Woo)
The market is really struggling right now,
the value of our collateral
has gone down a lot.
So?
Well
This may be a bit out of line,
but if you could make
a gesture to indicate
that you'd pay out of pocket,
it'd be a good reason for me
to have a positive discussion
when I meet with the bank's president.
My personal funds?
We only say this to mean
that the symbolism is what's important.
Even if the amount you announce is
different from what you actually pay,
it doesn't matter.
You know that, don't you?
So, without the use of my personal funds,
we can't get any extra loans?
Well
Have you not heard from CEO Won yet?
He's in front of me right now, sir.
Send him in.
What happened with your meeting
with Mayor Joo?
(Keumhyung Group)
Mayor Joo
seems anxious
about our financial situation.
So, I plan on meeting with
the Vice President of Yigu Electronics
and asking him to hurry along
with the confirmations of funding plans.
I saw the Vice President of Wonjin Bank
leaving just now.
What did the bank say?
Unless we get approval to do business
from Anhyun,
there's no possibility until then.
Do you think Chairman Han of Yigu
will make an investment?
Yes, I'll make him do so.
Don't worry, sir.
Twenty years ago,
as we turned 3.9 million square meters
of land filled with pigsties
into Anhyun City,
the Keumhyung of today came to be.
This Pilo-dong project
It may be our last chance
to get back on our feet.
If we fail at this, I as well as you
might be dragged around
by creditors for our whole lives.
Yes, sir.
(Narcotics Unit)
Detective Park.
Did you perhaps get all the CCTV footage
from near the mill?
- Yes, sir.
- Then, was there a taxi
among the cars that left the alley
around the time of the incident?
There weren't any identifiable taxis
that left the alley.
You have the videos, don't you?
Captain Jang.
Last time, I told you
there wasn't anything worth noting
from the CCTV footage
from near the construction site.
But you went to the scene,
and the mill owner got murdered.
I also think this case has
a connection to the prior ones.
I agree with what you think.
However,
I report to Inspector Yoo Kyung Hwan.
And Inspector Yoo thinks otherwise.
You know why I'm telling you this,
don't you?
Yes, I understand.
Captain.
Come to the lounge in a little bit.
- Do you want to watch this with me?
- What is it?
The CCTV footage from around the time
the murder case happened at the mill.
How did you get that?
Didn't Yoo Kyung Hwan make a fuss?
What time did the murder happen again?
It was between 5:12 p.m. and 5:15 p.m.
What are we looking for right now?
A taxi.
A taxi?
There was a resident who saw a taxi
on the day of the incident.
Circumstances point to the taxi driver
and the guest being accomplices,
or there is a high likelihood
that the taxi driver is the culprit.
If he came from that alley
and took a right turn,
we would've seen the car
going past the crosswalk
and heading toward Hwansung.
But since we don't see it,
maybe it took a turn left?
Gosh.
Where is this?
It's the security camera
at the next intersection.
If they turned left earlier,
they should be on this camera.
I see.
We should look into all the taxis here.
It seems the Violent Crimes Division
looked into most of them.
I guess they use their brains too,
seeing as how they focused on the taxi.
I told them to.
Was there anyone suspicious?
Not yet.
Was there another escape route?
It would've been hard to walk out.
Yes. The sun was still out,
and with the blood on their clothes,
it would've been difficult.
- Soo Hyun.
- Yes?
Get all of the videos from Captain Jang,
recheck all of the taxi numbers,
and make a table of them.
They're the taxis that were in service
around the time of the murder at the mill.
Look into the criminal records
of the drivers as well.
Yes, ma'am.
If the culprit had really been
a taxi driver,
they would've tried to wipe the blood
from the hands or clothes
as soon as possible.
So look into places
they could've pulled over
to wipe their hands.
Look into the security cameras
in the area as well.
Yes, ma'am.
It belongs to us,
the people who know the passcode.
Give me a little more time.
It's not an easy decision for me either.
How about this?
If they bring me ten million dollars
and lower their head to beg me,
I'll think about it.
You know we don't have much time, right?

(Yoon Hee's birthday)
(We're Anhyeon Police Station,
warm and trustworthy to citizens.)
How did it go with getting information
on CEO Yoon?
We had a meeting,
but they didn't tell me anything new.
CEO Yoon is selling a new drug,
but their whereabouts are unknown,
and the information stops there.
- Okay.
- Captain.
You know the substitute drug, Etaphen?
Should I try getting some of that?
You can't keep taking the drugs.
I'll take care of myself. Thanks.
I'll keep asking around for CEO Yoon.
Inspector Jang Jae Gyeong?
It wasn't us.
What would we gain
from giving Jang Jae Gyeong pills?
Don't you think?
(Seodong Internal Medicine Clinic)
Where can you get Etaphen prescribed?
At Seo-dong, Anhyun,
there's a very old hospital
called Seodong Medical Clinic.
You can go there
and ask for appetite suppressants.
(Endourology and Gastroenterology,
Diet clinic)
- Should I take these after eating?
- Yes, after you eat.
Thank you.
Detective Jang?
It is you.
Do you not recognize me?
You arrested me last year.
- Oh, right.
- You know.
I was secretly smoking marijuana
behind the highway rest stop.
Oh, right.
I got out last month.
Did you come to the hospital?
Are you here to arrest someone?
No.
You came to get Kyung Hoon, didn't you?
He was inside.
Should I call him out here for you?
No, I
I was just passing by.
(Endourology and Gastroenterology,
Diet clinic)
Hyun Woo.
Min Hyun Woo.
- Goodness.
- You were home.
What are you doing here, Mr. Heo?
I had something to thank Hyun Woo for.
- And I wanted to see you too.
- Gosh.
Oh, thank you.
Red ginseng.
You were home.
Here.
(Ojeong-ro)
Where did Hyun Woo see Yoon Jin?
I don't think he was following Yoon Jin.
I think he was following Oh Chi Hyun.
Oh Chi Hyun?
How does Hyun Woo know Oh Chi Hyun?
Apparently, Yoon Jin yelled, "Oh Chi Hyun"
while she was getting abducted.
And Hyun Woo heard that.
Where did he see Oh Chi Hyun?
I don't know that, and I didn't ask.
(Pilo-dong construction project approved!
Redevelopment confirmed!)
What are you doing?
(No to redevelopment)
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
I'm just a bit out of breath.
Do you eat these days?
Do you want to eat this?
I saw you paid back the money
but not for the beef.
Did you meet Oh Chi Hyun?
Yes.
Why?
I just had something to ask him.
Why would I pay back money for the beef?
I considered that compensation
for the emotional distress he caused
by kidnapping me.
Did he tell you
that I didn't pay him back for the beef?
He's stingier than he seems.
Good thing I didn't eat.
- Gosh.
- Give it to me.
Gosh.
It's very big.
Is anyone home?
- Gosh.
- What?
What are you all doing here?
Why are you here?
- Give it to me. I'll carry it.
- It's okay.
I'll help her with this.
- Wait inside.
- Head inside.
Gosh.
Are you skipping school again?
I went in the morning.
Do you know Oh Chi Hyun?
This person.
Yes, I know this person.
Do you recognize any of them?
No.
How do you know Oh Chi Hyun?
- I saw him once.
- Where?
At the Lorraine Hotel.
Why did you go there?
Did you go there on an errand
for Park Jun Seo?
- Yes.
- What errand?
To deliver drugs?
Yes.
Was the name of that drug Xinopharm?
(Xinopharm)
Xinopharm?
The wrong drugs that were delivered
to Woonjong Medical Center
was Xinopharm, a narcotic pain medication.
Where did you see Oh Chi Hyun
two days ago?
A cold storage place in Pilo-dong.
What was the name?
Youngryun Cold Storage.
Youngryun Cold Storage?
Is that where you met Park Jun Seo?
When you were delivering the drugs?
Yes.
Why did you suddenly go there?
I got a call from this number
the day before last.
And this was the first number
Mr. Park called me on.
(Two days ago)
So, we had gotten a large prescription
for the painkillers she used to take.
The medication we supplied
to Woonjong Medical Center.
How did you know
there was a problem with it?
Did you talk to them?
They hung up without saying anything.
And the phone has been turned off
ever since.
That was why I went
all the way to Pilo-dong.
Just in case.
The number 2-3-0-9-1-0 on top,
is that a date?
Yes. They don't give us
the customers' names,
so I save the numbers
with the delivery items and dates.
Hey, this date
That was the day Ms. Park Bok Rye
got the wrong prescription drugs.
(Woonjong Medical Center's
medication error on Park Bok Rye)
But Jun Seo wasn't thoughtless enough
to make a high school kid like you
deliver narcotic painkillers.
Did something perhaps happen
to Jun Seo that day?
His daughter was very sick.
It was a delivery he was supposed to do.
Is Yoon Hee still not doing well?
But he asked me to do it.
Did Park Jun Seo ever make you
deliver drugs after that?
No.
Just because he asked you
to do him a favor,
he paid for your school tuition
and opened up an office here?
I don't think Jun Seo would've done that.
What did you do with the drugs?
What drugs?
The drugs I told you to take
to Lorraine Hotel first.
Where did you sneak them off to?
- I didn't sneak them off anywhere.
- Tell me.
It's not too late. Tell me now.
I don't know. I delivered them all,
just like you told me to.
You didn't come
straight from the hospital.
Where did you stop by?
I know everything. Hurry up and say it.
Who did you sell them to?
Hurry up and tell me!
I really don't know!
This is your last chance.
Hurry up and say it.
Who did you sell them to?
Where are those drugs now?
- Hurry up and say it.
- Hyun Woo!
No.
What are you doing?
- Hyun Woo.
- Go back inside.
Oh, my.
Are you okay?
Goodness.
Oh, my dear Hyun Woo.
Hello?
Mr. Park, I heard you called.
- It's okay.
- We got the eight boxes of pills safely.
Do you still have those pills now?
You didn't prescribe them
to anyone, right?
What? I already prescribed them all.
Why?
I'll be right there.
You're here.
Did you apply some ointment?
How old are you?
Leave now
if you're done paying for the damages.
Your name is Hyun Woo, right?
I'm sorry.
I'm an adult,
but I didn't even look into things.
Sorry.
Forgive me.
That was the first time
an adult asked me
to forgive him.
Did Jun Seo keep coming by after that?
No.
I went to see him.
He said I shouldn't become close to him,
but there are times
when you need an adult.
I went to him at times like those.
Then, do you know what happened
with the bad pills
out of the ones that got delivered
to Woonjong Medical Center?
He never told me anything specific,
but I think the pills that I delivered to
Lorraine Hotel
got switched with some other pills.
I slipped on the road because of the rain,
and the pills got mixed up.
And I think
I put Mr. Park in
an awkward spot afterward.
So, the pills that should've gone to
Lorraine Hotel
went to Ms. Park Bok Rye.
Do you know why
Mr. Park committed suicide?
Do you think it was because
his daughter died before he did?
I'm not sure.
Do you think he was nice to me
because he pitied me?
I'm sure that's not it.
Jun Seo was very lonely.
But he probably thought of you
as a friend.
I'm sure that's why.
Here.
What are these?
There you go.
They're Lee Myung Guk's work logs.
Read them over in detail by tomorrow
evening and come over to my place.
What's this?
Are we forming some sort of
investigative team headquarters?
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Give me a lift down the hill.
Oh, okay.
My car is over there.
I'll give you a ride.
Well, I have something to tell you
on the way down too.
Okay, then.
I'll go with him.
Okay, get home safely.
What?
Bye.
Okay, bye.
- Hey, that was smooth.
- What was?
You're taking me
to Youngryun Cold Storage, right?
There's somewhere we have to go first.
(Seodong Internal Medicine Clinic)
You want me to go there now?
Yes.
Hey, I don't have any weight to lose.
No way.
You don't mean you want me to
act like a druggie, do you?
What can I help you with?
Oh, yes. Well, I
I'd like to take
some appetite suppressants.
Could I get a prescription?
How many days' worth do you need?
What?
(Internal medicine)
Gosh, there are so many.
Just get going.
Good job.
Buckle up.
Okay.
(Youngryun Cold Storage)
(Stop before entering)
Who are you?
Hello.
I'm Jang Jae Gyeong
from the Anhyeon Police Station.
Hello, I'm Oh Yoon Jin
from the Anhyun Economic Daily.
What brings you here?
What do you do here?
This is a freezer storage unit.
Could we take a look?
I'm not sure
if I have the authority to do that.
Besides,
aren't you supposed to bring
a warrant or whatever
to search inside?
Yes, you're right, sir.
But we're not trying to do a search.
We'll just take a quick look
to see what's being stored inside.
Sir.
You must be tired.
Please have this drink.
You have to be quick.
Of course.
Thank you.
Only this part of the building
is used as cold storage.
They just store regular items in the rest.
- Is this all?
- Yes.
Could you go now?
I have to go home too.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
What do you think you are doing?
What are you doing?
You said
you were just going to look around.
Go.
Goodness.
What were you looking for?
A drug-making lab?
Even if it was there,
they would've moved it by now.
Hey, the drugs that Jun Seo
was going to deliver to Oh Chi Hyun.
It must've been for Won Jong Soo, right?
Gosh. What should we do?
(For sale)
If Ms. Park Bok Rye died
from taking the drugs
that were meant for Jong Soo,
that would be such a huge story.
Hey, where are you going?
Hey!
(Youngryun Cold Storage, One-way street)
(For sale)
(Youngryun Cold Storage,
One-way street, For sale)
This is security camera footage
around the time of the murder at the mill.
What's going on?
Hey.
(Youngryun Cold Storage,
One-way street, For sale, CCTV)
(For sale)
(Youngryun Cold Storage,
One-way street, For sale, CCTV)
(For sale, Pilo Town House)
(Pilo-dong construction)
What is it?
What is it?
(Pilo-dong construction)
Where is he going now?
(Redevelopment area, entry prohibited)
(Mill)
- Hello?
- Captain.
I took a look at the reports filed
around the mill on the day of the murder.
Someone reported seeing a driver
wiping blood off their hands
at a public restroom
after parking the taxi
at Jungjidong Citizens Park
immediately after the incident.
(Who is the Pilo-dong
development plan for?)
But the person who made the report
was the parent of the elementary schooler
who saw the driver.
Since they didn't see it themselves
and the kid wasn't harmed,
the local officers just ignored it.
(We press our own oils.)
This security camera
only shows the crosswalk.
- Did you see that?
- See what? What did I miss?
This man here.
This man who was about to cross
this crosswalk at 5:15 p.m.
He's avoiding something
while crossing the street.
Yes.
A car.
The car passed the alley with the mill,
came out to the big road,
and went straight.
Not left or right, but straight.
So where does the alley
this car entered connect to?
It's connected to the road
in front of an old cold storage place
called Youngryun Cold Storage.
And they had to have driven
the opposite way on the one-way street.
If they had gone straight from there,
they would've reached the big road again.
If they had gone that way,
they would've been
on another security camera.
(One-way street, For sale,
Youngryun Cold Storage)
But there was a small road next to it.
At first, I wasn't sure
whether it could fit a car.
But I saw tire marks.
(One-way street, for sale,
Youngryun Cold Storage)
It was wide enough
for a car to pass through.
It was about 700m long.
(One-way street, for sale,
Youngryun Cold Storage, about 700m)
And the end of that road
connects to a big road that splits
into Jungji-dong and Join-dong.
(Join-dong, Jungji-dong)
(Jungji-dong three-way intersection)
Is that the security camera footage
we just received?
It's from the block
behind the one we had last time.
We couldn't check it
because it was quite far.
That alleyway connects to this place.
(Jungji-dong three-way intersection)
A taxi.
It's 3-4-A-5-2-5-3.
It's a private taxi.
Yes, please look up
the taxi owner quickly.
Yes.
You.
Who are you?
(Connection)
(Connection)
Are you getting revenge
for getting kicked out of college?
Si Jung.
You're doing well.
Don't take more than two pills.
What if they're trying to use you
to catch Won Jong Soo?
We need to show them
we're the next owners of the company.
They were indirectly asking me
whether you had ordered that.
If we get connected to the incident,
it's all over, Tae Jin.
I'm confident, Chairman Won.
You're crossing the line.
Aren't we in the same boat now?
If Park Tae Jin keeps feeling rushed,
there's a possibility
that she might reveal everything today.
He's going to make Choi Ji Yeon
tell him the password no matter what.
I said I would only do this
until we got 500,000 dollars.
- Jun Seo.
- Didn't you kill Jun Seo
because of this?
Are you sure
we weren't caught on camera there?
This is in front of my house.
Jae Gyeong already knew.
I think it's basically mine.
The insurance payout belongs
to whoever received it.
- What did you say?
- Who are you
calling shameless right now?
Dramaday.me
(All characters, organizations,

(April 2005)
Let's watch "Crying Fist."
"Innocent Steps" just came out
in theaters.
Let's watch that.
Hey, Joo Song.
Our exams just ended.
"Innocent Steps?" What are you saying?
"Crying Fist" is the way to go.
That's right.
I vote for "Crying Fist" too.
What about you?
I want to watch "Kingdom of Heaven."
Hey, that doesn't open in theaters
until next week.
Really? Why did you hit me?
Hey, let's decide when we get there.
The class president went to see a movie
with Yoon Jin and Jae Gyeong.
I can't even reach him.
(Park Tae Jin)
Sang Eui.
(Jeong Sang Eui)
Jeong Sang Eui!
Chae Kyung Tae.
Did that jerk take
your money again?
(Park Tae Jin)
We're going on our own without Jun Seo.
(Forced expulsion is
oppression of our rights to live!)
(Pilo-dong)
(Park Tae Jin, Jeong Yoon Ho)
(Oh Chi Hyun)
(Won Jong Soo)
(Connection)
(Say no to redevelopment
without the residents' agreement!)
I arrived about ten minutes early,
but I wasn't the first to arrive.
Who's there?
Jeong Sang Eui?
It's you, Tae Jin.
Did Jun Seo tell you to come here too?
Yes.
That looks like a switch.
Will you flip it?
Okay.
That'll do.
What's this?
He called you to come too?
What about Park Jun Seo?
Where was he then?
- Upstairs.
- "Upstairs?"
Explain further.
You guys arrived at the construction site,
and Park Jun Seo was
on the ninth floor. Correct?
Yes.
But how did you know
he was on the ninth floor?
The lights came on.
What time is it now?
It's almost 11:30 p.m.
What?
He must be up there.
Hey, Park Jun Seo!
Are you up there?
Come on down, punk!
(Seeing danger is
the first step to safety.)
We should go up.
Hey, how can we ride that?
Jun Seo went up by taking that too.
Hey.
(Beware of falling objects)
Darn it.
(Freight elevator)
Everyone must've been nervous
because no one was talking.
And I think we were passing
the fourth floor or so.
Just as we were looking over
at Pilo-dong through the wire mesh
Did you see that?
We all tried to
look over the wire in shock,
but we couldn't see much.
That's when Jun Seo fell?
Yes.
Are you saying he killed himself?
Just when you guys were in the elevator,
Jun Seo jumped from the ninth floor?
I didn't say he jumped.
We only saw him fall.
Are you
making an alibi for the others?
Who saw Jun Seo fall?
Did you see it too?
Jong Soo and Tae Jin saw it.
So you didn't go to the ninth floor?
Tae Jin pressed the stop button.
Hey, Park Jun Seo. Are you up there?
Let's go down.
(Elevator Safety Protocol)
(Beware of falling objects)
(Beware of falling objects)
Who is it?
It's not Jun Seo, is it?
Is it Jun Seo?
Who is it?
It's Jun Seo.
Did you check too?
Yes.
Did you see with your own eyes
if Jun Seo was dead,
or did you assume he was dead?
Tae Jin went up to him
and checked his pulse.
Tae Jin?
Then he said we should get out of there.
That it wouldn't help anyone if word
got out that we were there that late.
Tae Jin said that too?
Was it all Park Tae Jin?
You lot can't do anything without him.
What then?
We all left the way we came in.
We went our separate ways
at the main road.
We found our own ways home.
You guys
You did the same 20 years ago
when Chae Kyung Tae died.
You provided each other
with witness statements and alibis.
Do you think you can
get away with it this time?
Whether you believe me or not
is up to you.
If what you said is true,
Jun Seo called you all there
at 11:30 p.m. to say something.
He came to me before he died
and said
he'd put everything back in order.
He said that only to jump
to his death right when
you guys were on your way up?
Do you think that makes sense?
You guys in the elevator.
One is capable of killing others
without getting
a drop of blood on their hands.
Another is capable of carrying out
a task as soon as the order is given.
And the third is capable
of covering it all up.
If just one of those three
had a reason that what Jun Seo
wanted to say couldn't come out,
then it's possible.
You just had to get someone
to push Jun Seo
when you all could alibi each other out.
But what are you?
A spectator who just watches,
whatever they do?
Is that what you are?
You're the investigator.
That's for you to find out.
There's a mill by the corner
of the construction site.
Under the eaves of that mill
is a CCTV camera.
Did you know that?
No.
In the video
taken from before 11:30 p.m.
until after 11:40 p.m.,
none of you, including you, were filmed.
If you'd taken a taxi
to Pilo-dong's main road
and walked from there,
you wouldn't have been filmed
because you came from another direction.
But how did the others
manage to get into the site
without being caught on camera?
I don't know how they came in.
But
I'm sure they all came
through the alley by the mill.
What you told me
made things much clearer for me.
Someone in the group of people
that were there killed Jun Seo.
And that person thought
they were caught
on the mill's security camera
and killed the mill owner.
Would you like to kill time elsewhere?
No. I'll wait here.
Okay.
Hey.
Are you sure
the appointment was confirmed?
Hello.
Where about is the mayor now?
Okay, thanks.
He's almost here.
Mr. Oh!
Call again.
Okay.
I am so very late. I apologize.
It's fine.
Please, take a seat.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mayor.
Likewise.
You must be hungry. Let's eat first.
Serve the food.
Just a moment.
I'm sorry,
but I ate at my previous appointment.
I have another meeting right after,
so how about we have tea instead?
Sure.
You're a busy man,
so I'll get right to the point.
I asked to meet you today
because I might be able to
get the chance to assist you.
- Is that so?
- You want to make
Anhyun City a bioindustry complex.
I do.
Then you must sign a deal
with the major pharmaceutical companies,
and your term ends in four years.
You want and need
visible results before the next election.
I would.
Keumhyung will take the lead
and build a bioindustry complex.
If this is a success, it could become
a friendship that you could
benefit from in the future when you
go on to bigger things.
You must know that
Keumhyung Group's network
can assist you well.
Keumhyung Group's sales last year.
How much was it?
I know what you're trying to say, but
After this meeting was scheduled,
I memorized some numbers.
Your sales were 3.22 billion dollars.
A 9.2 percent drop from the year before.
Your business loss
was 62.2 million dollars.
That's a loss three years in a row.
I heard the banks have decided to
increase the interest rate
on your existing loans
while refusing to loan you any more.
Hearing a company like that
wants to lead the way
makes me anxious.
Yes.
I said I'd lead the way
because Keumhyung Group
and Yigu Electronics' Vice-Chairman Han
as well as many influential men
from Yeouido's financial district
You are
the third person
just this week to meet me
with a plan to do this or that
to improve Anhyun City.
They all claimed to have the backing
of powerful people.
I don't think
I can do business with a man
who dares to guarantee my future
as a politician when we just met.
It makes me too uneasy.
- Mr. Mayor. I meant
- Please, excuse me.
Mr. Mayor.
I'm
Lee Myung Guk.
He was your superior, right?
You'll have heard
his body was found recently.
Yes.
What did he do here?
He researched generic drugs mostly.
What did you think
he was like as a person?
Was he in enough trouble
or under threat
that he'd suddenly disappear
and then show up dead?
How much do you know about Jun Seo?
What?
You were close friends 20 years ago,
but you have no idea
what he was thinking before he died.
That's why you're doing this.
Mr. Lee
was nothing more or less
than a superior at work.
What kind of person someone's like
and what goes on around them?
You never know until they tell you.
So
what will you do now?
I'll ask everyone
why they didn't share
that they were at the scene.
Why?
You don't want them to know you talked?
Don't worry. I'll take care of that.
What I said today.
Do you believe it all?
No.
What about you?
Do you
also think Jun Seo killed himself?
- No.
- Why not?
I saw it.
But
at the time,
no one saw it.
His shoes.
He was wearing his shoes.
Jun Seo's shoes were found
on the ninth floor which was assumed
to be where he jumped.
But the elevator on-site wasn't
on the ninth floor, but the first.
(Keumhyung)
- Mr. Oh.
- What?
Inside
(Keumhyung Pharmaceutical
Chief Secretary Oh Chi Hyun)
What are you doing here?
I have a meeting pretty soon.
(Keumhyung Pharmaceutical
Chief Secretary Oh Chi Hyun)
Depending on the situation
you might have to miss it.
What's up?
If you so much as abduct or bribe
Yoon Jin or anyone,
I'll come after you.
What will you do?
Find out for yourself.
Hey.
Why are you two doing this to me?
It's true I went too far for fear
Yoon Jin would cause a fuss,
and as a result, I failed.
She returned the money yesterday.
She'd spent quite a bit, though.
If you came to talk about that,
how about we not bother?
Do you mind?
You.
Why did you kill Jun Seo?
- What?
- February 23, at 11:30 p.m.
You must remember.
You were there.
Don't people kill themselves
in deserted places?
A construction site is a great place.
But why were you there?
If someone else was there,
it's no longer called a suicide.
Who said I was there?
You should ask
if I have proof you were there.
Why would you ask who told me?
What?
Did you suddenly think of someone
who could testify you were there?
Why did you kill Park Jun Seo?
Jun Seo killed himself.
How so?
I went there
because Jun Seo told me to come.
I took the elevator up
because he seemed to be upstairs,
but he jumped.
Couldn't you have
gotten someone to push him?
- Did Jong Soo tell you to do it?
- Jang Jae Gyeong.
Is that loyalty or devotion?
Why are you so riled up?
Think about it.
Jun Seo knew something about Jong Soo,
and Jong Soo didn't like it.
And you're someone who does as he's told.
Won Jong Soo, Park Tae Jin,
Jeong Sang Eui. You were all together.
You refused to give up names.
You have some loyalty in you
from your high school days.
You're tight-lipped.
How did you get into the site,
and where did you exit from?
I parked by the road in Jungji-dong
and walked in through an alley.
There was nowhere to park there.
Did you leave the same way?
Did you meet up with someone?
Jeong Sang Eui?
Did you know there was a camera?
No.
You're not surprised.
I thought it would be surprising.
I'll ask one more thing.
After Jun Seo landed,
who confirmed he was dead?
Does it matter who checked?
You should've checked,
even if you meant to kill him.
Tae Jin checked.
Was Jun Seo wearing shoes then?
I don't know.
It was dark, and I was stunned
by the fact that he'd fallen.
Didn't someone say his shoes
were found on the ninth floor?
Oh, yes. Right.
I'll let you get back to work.
Tell the others I came to talk to you.
Remember the questions I've asked
and tell them about it
so you can come up with a story.
I'll be back if I find evidence.
I'm glad you returned the cash
to Oh Chi Hyun.
Good for you.
Now let's stop digging into this case.
When I heard you'd been abducted,
my legs almost gave way.
I thought I'd lose my mind.
Let Jae Gyeong investigate
and focus on your newspaper stuff.
I'd like you to do that.
And Woonjong Medical Center?
There must've been
a designated salesperson.
We hadn't been able to supply
Woonjong Medical Center.
Jun Seo got us in
because he'd met the director
at a gathering.
That was why
Jun Seo went to so many events.
Put your health first.
You even order herbal tea
at cafes instead of coffee.
It's too dangerous. Quit it.
Did you hear me?
- What?
- Did you hear me?
Let's stop digging in this case.
- Yes, okay.
- Good.
Hey.
As an insurance salesman,
is there a company you want to sign with?
A place you tried to get into
many times but failed.
- Manbae Electronics.
- Manbae Electronics?
Let's say I know
their Head of General Affairs very well.
So I pull some strings and get you in
so you can sell policies to their staff.
Can you really do that?
No, I meant hypothetically.
Oh, okay.
Then would you give me business cards
and let me sell policies for you?
- No.
- No, right?
You'd sell them yourself
or get your minion to do it, right?
- Right.
- Yes.
Exactly.
Jun Seo was an estate agent.
Even if he helped them
supply to Woonjong Medical Center,
does it make sense
he had a business card
and delivered them himself too?
He did what?
Hey.
This is weird, right?
(Keumhyung Pharmaceutical,
Park Jun Seo)
But what's weirder is that
Keumhyung Pharmaceutical made
some bad medicine.
Why would Jun Seo go around apologizing
and keeping people's mouths shut?
Was that Jun Seo's fault?
He wasn't even an employee there.
Says who?
Oh Chi Hyun.
Hey.
You said Hyun Woo saw me get abducted
and told you, right?
Yes.
Okay, then I should meet with him first.
- Yoon Jin.
- Why?
Didn't you hear what I said earlier?
What?
Hey, we should stop
looking into this case.
If you keep chasing this story,
you might really get into big trouble
and get badly hurt.
Then what use would
all that insurance money be?
Hey, Joo Song.
Fine.
Thank you for saying that
out of concern for me.
But am I doing this
so that I can live well by myself?
I know, but
Wanting to live with my own daughter.
Is that such a greedy thing to want?
Have you ever had your child
taken away right before your eyes
in a divorce just because
you didn't make as much money?
Hey, that ex-husband of yours
isn't even making a living or anything.
Then, doesn't that mean
you can bring Ye Eun?
Am I any different?
At least he has some money saved up.
I really don't have anything.
I'm penniless.
If I bring Ye Eun here in my situation,
how can I be sure that I can raise her
better than in Canada?
I'm just saying it's dangerous.
Hey, don't worry.
I've been a reporter for 15 years.
Do you think my path has
always been flowery all that time?
I'm off to school.
All right.
I was coming outside
from grocery shopping,
and Jang Jae Gyeong,
Heo Joo Song, and Oh Yoon Jin
came out of that alley.
There aren't that many houses up there.
Isn't it strange?
Who are you?
What?
Oh, are you
a friend of Mr. Park Jun Seo's?
Oh
- Yes.
- I see.
I heard that Mr. Park passed away.
Yes, that's right.
But how
How did you know Jun Seo?
He came by often.
Oh, by any chance,
are there any surviving relatives
of Mr. Park's?
I wasn't able to go to the funeral.
He has a wife.
Is that so?
So
Oh, right.
Please wait just a little.
Oh, my.
Oh, well
I'm sorry, but Here.
Couldn't you give it to her for me?
Gosh, please do that for me.
(Min Hyun Woo)
The market is really struggling right now,
the value of our collateral
has gone down a lot.
So?
Well
This may be a bit out of line,
but if you could make
a gesture to indicate
that you'd pay out of pocket,
it'd be a good reason for me
to have a positive discussion
when I meet with the bank's president.
My personal funds?
We only say this to mean
that the symbolism is what's important.
Even if the amount you announce is
different from what you actually pay,
it doesn't matter.
You know that, don't you?
So, without the use of my personal funds,
we can't get any extra loans?
Well
Have you not heard from CEO Won yet?
He's in front of me right now, sir.
Send him in.
What happened with your meeting
with Mayor Joo?
(Keumhyung Group)
Mayor Joo
seems anxious
about our financial situation.
So, I plan on meeting with
the Vice President of Yigu Electronics
and asking him to hurry along
with the confirmations of funding plans.
I saw the Vice President of Wonjin Bank
leaving just now.
What did the bank say?
Unless we get approval to do business
from Anhyun,
there's no possibility until then.
Do you think Chairman Han of Yigu
will make an investment?
Yes, I'll make him do so.
Don't worry, sir.
Twenty years ago,
as we turned 3.9 million square meters
of land filled with pigsties
into Anhyun City,
the Keumhyung of today came to be.
This Pilo-dong project
It may be our last chance
to get back on our feet.
If we fail at this, I as well as you
might be dragged around
by creditors for our whole lives.
Yes, sir.
(Narcotics Unit)
Detective Park.
Did you perhaps get all the CCTV footage
from near the mill?
- Yes, sir.
- Then, was there a taxi
among the cars that left the alley
around the time of the incident?
There weren't any identifiable taxis
that left the alley.
You have the videos, don't you?
Captain Jang.
Last time, I told you
there wasn't anything worth noting
from the CCTV footage
from near the construction site.
But you went to the scene,
and the mill owner got murdered.
I also think this case has
a connection to the prior ones.
I agree with what you think.
However,
I report to Inspector Yoo Kyung Hwan.
And Inspector Yoo thinks otherwise.
You know why I'm telling you this,
don't you?
Yes, I understand.
Captain.
Come to the lounge in a little bit.
- Do you want to watch this with me?
- What is it?
The CCTV footage from around the time
the murder case happened at the mill.
How did you get that?
Didn't Yoo Kyung Hwan make a fuss?
What time did the murder happen again?
It was between 5:12 p.m. and 5:15 p.m.
What are we looking for right now?
A taxi.
A taxi?
There was a resident who saw a taxi
on the day of the incident.
Circumstances point to the taxi driver
and the guest being accomplices,
or there is a high likelihood
that the taxi driver is the culprit.
If he came from that alley
and took a right turn,
we would've seen the car
going past the crosswalk
and heading toward Hwansung.
But since we don't see it,
maybe it took a turn left?
Gosh.
Where is this?
It's the security camera
at the next intersection.
If they turned left earlier,
they should be on this camera.
I see.
We should look into all the taxis here.
It seems the Violent Crimes Division
looked into most of them.
I guess they use their brains too,
seeing as how they focused on the taxi.
I told them to.
Was there anyone suspicious?
Not yet.
Was there another escape route?
It would've been hard to walk out.
Yes. The sun was still out,
and with the blood on their clothes,
it would've been difficult.
- Soo Hyun.
- Yes?
Get all of the videos from Captain Jang,
recheck all of the taxi numbers,
and make a table of them.
They're the taxis that were in service
around the time of the murder at the mill.
Look into the criminal records
of the drivers as well.
Yes, ma'am.
If the culprit had really been
a taxi driver,
they would've tried to wipe the blood
from the hands or clothes
as soon as possible.
So look into places
they could've pulled over
to wipe their hands.
Look into the security cameras
in the area as well.
Yes, ma'am.
It belongs to us,
the people who know the passcode.
Give me a little more time.
It's not an easy decision for me either.
How about this?
If they bring me ten million dollars
and lower their head to beg me,
I'll think about it.
You know we don't have much time, right?

How did it go with getting information
on CEO Yoon?
We had a meeting,
but they didn't tell me anything new.
CEO Yoon is selling a new drug,
but their whereabouts are unknown,
and the information stops there.
- Okay.
- Captain.
You know the substitute drug, Etaphen?
Should I try getting some of that?
You can't keep taking the drugs.
I'll take care of myself. Thanks.
I'll keep asking around for CEO Yoon.
Inspector Jang Jae Gyeong?
It wasn't us.
What would we gain
from giving Jang Jae Gyeong pills?
Don't you think?
(Seodong Internal Medicine Clinic)
Where can you get Etaphen prescribed?
At Seo-dong, Anhyun,
there's a very old hospital
called Seodong Medical Clinic.
You can go there
and ask for appetite suppressants.
(Endourology and Gastroenterology,
Diet clinic)
- Should I take these after eating?
- Yes, after you eat.
Thank you.
Detective Jang?
It is you.
Do you not recognize me?
You arrested me last year.
- Oh, right.
- You know.
I was secretly smoking marijuana
behind the highway rest stop.
Oh, right.
I got out last month.
Did you come to the hospital?
Are you here to arrest someone?
No.
You came to get Kyung Hoon, didn't you?
He was inside.
Should I call him out here for you?
No, I
I was just passing by.
(Endourology and Gastroenterology,

Hyun Woo.
Min Hyun Woo.
- Goodness.
- You were home.
What are you doing here, Mr. Heo?
I had something to thank Hyun Woo for.
- And I wanted to see you too.
- Gosh.
Oh, thank you.
Red ginseng.
You were home.
Here.
(Ojeong-ro)
Where did Hyun Woo see Yoon Jin?
I don't think he was following Yoon Jin.
I think he was following Oh Chi Hyun.
Oh Chi Hyun?
How does Hyun Woo know Oh Chi Hyun?
Apparently, Yoon Jin yelled, "Oh Chi Hyun"
while she was getting abducted.
And Hyun Woo heard that.
Where did he see Oh Chi Hyun?
I don't know that, and I didn't ask.
(Pilo-dong construction project approved!
Redevelopment confirmed!)
What are you doing?
(No to redevelopment)
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
I'm just a bit out of breath.
Do you eat these days?
Do you want to eat this?
I saw you paid back the money
but not for the beef.
Did you meet Oh Chi Hyun?
Yes.
Why?
I just had something to ask him.
Why would I pay back money for the beef?
I considered that compensation
for the emotional distress he caused
by kidnapping me.
Did he tell you
that I didn't pay him back for the beef?
He's stingier than he seems.
Good thing I didn't eat.
- Gosh.
- Give it to me.
Gosh.
It's very big.
Is anyone home?
- Gosh.
- What?
What are you all doing here?
Why are you here?
- Give it to me. I'll carry it.
- It's okay.
I'll help her with this.
- Wait inside.
- Head inside.
Gosh.
Are you skipping school again?
I went in the morning.
Do you know Oh Chi Hyun?
This person.
Yes, I know this person.
Do you recognize any of them?
No.
How do you know Oh Chi Hyun?
- I saw him once.
- Where?
At the Lorraine Hotel.
Why did you go there?
Did you go there on an errand
for Park Jun Seo?
- Yes.
- What errand?
To deliver drugs?
Yes.
Was the name of that drug Xinopharm?
(Xinopharm)
Xinopharm?
The wrong drugs that were delivered
to Woonjong Medical Center
was Xinopharm, a narcotic pain medication.
Where did you see Oh Chi Hyun
two days ago?
A cold storage place in Pilo-dong.
What was the name?
Youngryun Cold Storage.
Youngryun Cold Storage?
Is that where you met Park Jun Seo?
When you were delivering the drugs?
Yes.
Why did you suddenly go there?
I got a call from this number
the day before last.
And this was the first number
Mr. Park called me on.
(Two days ago)
So, we had gotten a large prescription
for the painkillers she used to take.
The medication we supplied
to Woonjong Medical Center.
How did you know
there was a problem with it?
Did you talk to them?
They hung up without saying anything.
And the phone has been turned off
ever since.
That was why I went
all the way to Pilo-dong.
Just in case.
The number 2-3-0-9-1-0 on top,
is that a date?
Yes. They don't give us
the customers' names,
so I save the numbers
with the delivery items and dates.
Hey, this date
That was the day Ms. Park Bok Rye
got the wrong prescription drugs.
(Woonjong Medical Center's
medication error on Park Bok Rye)
But Jun Seo wasn't thoughtless enough
to make a high school kid like you
deliver narcotic painkillers.
Did something perhaps happen
to Jun Seo that day?
His daughter was very sick.
It was a delivery he was supposed to do.
Is Yoon Hee still not doing well?
But he asked me to do it.
Did Park Jun Seo ever make you
deliver drugs after that?
No.
Just because he asked you
to do him a favor,
he paid for your school tuition
and opened up an office here?
I don't think Jun Seo would've done that.
What did you do with the drugs?
What drugs?
The drugs I told you to take
to Lorraine Hotel first.
Where did you sneak them off to?
- I didn't sneak them off anywhere.
- Tell me.
It's not too late. Tell me now.
I don't know. I delivered them all,
just like you told me to.
You didn't come
straight from the hospital.
Where did you stop by?
I know everything. Hurry up and say it.
Who did you sell them to?
Hurry up and tell me!
I really don't know!
This is your last chance.
Hurry up and say it.
Who did you sell them to?
Where are those drugs now?
- Hurry up and say it.
- Hyun Woo!
No.
What are you doing?
- Hyun Woo.
- Go back inside.
Oh, my.
Are you okay?
Goodness.
Oh, my dear Hyun Woo.
Hello?
Mr. Park, I heard you called.
- It's okay.
- We got the eight boxes of pills safely.
Do you still have those pills now?
You didn't prescribe them
to anyone, right?
What? I already prescribed them all.
Why?
I'll be right there.
You're here.
Did you apply some ointment?
How old are you?
Leave now
if you're done paying for the damages.
Your name is Hyun Woo, right?
I'm sorry.
I'm an adult,
but I didn't even look into things.
Sorry.
Forgive me.
That was the first time
an adult asked me
to forgive him.
Did Jun Seo keep coming by after that?
No.
I went to see him.
He said I shouldn't become close to him,
but there are times
when you need an adult.
I went to him at times like those.
Then, do you know what happened
with the bad pills
out of the ones that got delivered
to Woonjong Medical Center?
He never told me anything specific,
but I think the pills that I delivered to
Lorraine Hotel
got switched with some other pills.
I slipped on the road because of the rain,
and the pills got mixed up.
And I think
I put Mr. Park in
an awkward spot afterward.
So, the pills that should've gone to
Lorraine Hotel
went to Ms. Park Bok Rye.
Do you know why
Mr. Park committed suicide?
Do you think it was because
his daughter died before he did?
I'm not sure.
Do you think he was nice to me
because he pitied me?
I'm sure that's not it.
Jun Seo was very lonely.
But he probably thought of you
as a friend.
I'm sure that's why.
Here.
What are these?
There you go.
They're Lee Myung Guk's work logs.
Read them over in detail by tomorrow
evening and come over to my place.
What's this?
Are we forming some sort of
investigative team headquarters?
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Give me a lift down the hill.
Oh, okay.
My car is over there.
I'll give you a ride.
Well, I have something to tell you
on the way down too.
Okay, then.
I'll go with him.
Okay, get home safely.
What?
Bye.
Okay, bye.
- Hey, that was smooth.
- What was?
You're taking me
to Youngryun Cold Storage, right?
There's somewhere we have to go first.
(Seodong Internal Medicine Clinic)
You want me to go there now?
Yes.
Hey, I don't have any weight to lose.
No way.
You don't mean you want me to
act like a druggie, do you?
What can I help you with?
Oh, yes. Well, I
I'd like to take
some appetite suppressants.
Could I get a prescription?
How many days' worth do you need?
What?
(Internal medicine)
Gosh, there are so many.
Just get going.
Good job.
Buckle up.
Okay.
(Youngryun Cold Storage)
(Stop before entering)
Who are you?
Hello.
I'm Jang Jae Gyeong
from the Anhyeon Police Station.
Hello, I'm Oh Yoon Jin
from the Anhyun Economic Daily.
What brings you here?
What do you do here?
This is a freezer storage unit.
Could we take a look?
I'm not sure
if I have the authority to do that.
Besides,
aren't you supposed to bring
a warrant or whatever
to search inside?
Yes, you're right, sir.
But we're not trying to do a search.
We'll just take a quick look
to see what's being stored inside.
Sir.
You must be tired.
Please have this drink.
You have to be quick.
Of course.
Thank you.
Only this part of the building
is used as cold storage.
They just store regular items in the rest.
- Is this all?
- Yes.
Could you go now?
I have to go home too.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
What do you think you are doing?
What are you doing?
You said
you were just going to look around.
Go.
Goodness.
What were you looking for?
A drug-making lab?
Even if it was there,
they would've moved it by now.
Hey, the drugs that Jun Seo
was going to deliver to Oh Chi Hyun.
It must've been for Won Jong Soo, right?
Gosh. What should we do?
(For sale)
If Ms. Park Bok Rye died
from taking the drugs
that were meant for Jong Soo,
that would be such a huge story.
Hey, where are you going?
Hey!

Where is he going now?
(Redevelopment area, entry prohibited)
(Mill)
- Hello?
- Captain.
I took a look at the reports filed
around the mill on the day of the murder.
Someone reported seeing a driver
wiping blood off their hands
at a public restroom
after parking the taxi
at Jungjidong Citizens Park
immediately after the incident.
(Who is the Pilo-dong
development plan for?)
But the person who made the report
was the parent of the elementary schooler
who saw the driver.
Since they didn't see it themselves
and the kid wasn't harmed,
the local officers just ignored it.
(We press our own oils.)
This security camera
only shows the crosswalk.
- Did you see that?
- See what? What did I miss?
This man here.
This man who was about to cross
this crosswalk at 5:15 p.m.
He's avoiding something
while crossing the street.
Yes.
A car.
The car passed the alley with the mill,
came out to the big road,
and went straight.
Not left or right, but straight.
So where does the alley
this car entered connect to?
It's connected to the road
in front of an old cold storage place
called Youngryun Cold Storage.
And they had to have driven
the opposite way on the one-way street.
If they had gone straight from there,
they would've reached the big road again.
If they had gone that way,
they would've been
on another security camera.
(One-way street, For sale,
Youngryun Cold Storage)
But there was a small road next to it.
At first, I wasn't sure
whether it could fit a car.
But I saw tire marks.
(One-way street, for sale,
Youngryun Cold Storage)
It was wide enough
for a car to pass through.
It was about 700m long.
(One-way street, for sale,
Youngryun Cold Storage, about 700m)
And the end of that road
connects to a big road that splits
into Jungji-dong and Join-dong.
(Join-dong, Jungji-dong)
(Jungji-dong three-way intersection)
Is that the security camera footage
we just received?
It's from the block
behind the one we had last time.
We couldn't check it
because it was quite far.
That alleyway connects to this place.
(Jungji-dong three-way intersection)
A taxi.
It's 3-4-A-5-2-5-3.
It's a private taxi.
Yes, please look up
the taxi owner quickly.
Yes.
You.
Who are you?
(Connection)
(Connection)
Are you getting revenge
for getting kicked out of college?
Si Jung.
You're doing well.
Don't take more than two pills.
What if they're trying to use you
to catch Won Jong Soo?
We need to show them
we're the next owners of the company.
They were indirectly asking me
whether you had ordered that.
If we get connected to the incident,
it's all over, Tae Jin.
I'm confident, Chairman Won.
You're crossing the line.
Aren't we in the same boat now?
If Park Tae Jin keeps feeling rushed,
there's a possibility
that she might reveal everything today.
He's going to make Choi Ji Yeon
tell him the password no matter what.
I said I would only do this
until we got 500,000 dollars.
- Jun Seo.
- Didn't you kill Jun Seo
because of this?
Are you sure
we weren't caught on camera there?
This is in front of my house.
Jae Gyeong already knew.
I think it's basically mine.
The insurance payout belongs
to whoever received it.
- What did you say?
- Who are you
calling shameless right now?
