Mr. Shin.

Detective, do you want Yun Dong Hee to get better?

Just enough to be coherent.

Because I have a ton of questions for him.

Mr. Shin.

At the time, I was certain about my investigation.

Even though it made me look like a conspiracy nut in the end.

I mean, I'm not saying...

it was unfair or anything.

I should get going.

Mr. Shin.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault, Detective Choi.

There are some things you just can't change,

no matter what you do.

(August 14, GEO exam)

- Can I see your ID, please? - I already told you I forgot my ID.

You can't come in without an ID, sir.

- Stop it. - You need to leave.

Honey, we're making a scene. Let's not embarrass him.

Let's just go home.

Why can't a father see his own son? Come on, let's go in.

I said, you can't enter without an ID. You need to leave now!

- Honey, just take this. - This is so embarrassing.

Excuse me.

By any chance, are you Judge Cho Pillip's parents?

- Oh, yes, we are. - Hello.

Hello.

I'm sorry, have we met before?

You don't remember me?

(Court)

No wonder Judge Cho is so good. He takes after his parents.

Well, our Judge Cho is a spitting image of me.

- Mom? Father? - Oh, Pillip!

- Hello, sir. - Hey, come sit down.

Oh, no, it's fine. I've got it.

What are you two doing here without calling?

Well, your aunt called this morning.

She said you work at a chicken place.

Judges are incredibly busy.

Isn't that right, Your Honor?

Yes, that's right. Judges have a lot on their plates.

Exactly. And not everyone is cut out for that.

Judge Cho has only ever studied. He's never cooked a day in his life.

He can't drive, so forget about making deliveries.

Father. Judge Kim is busy, so let's go.

Not at all. I'm not busy.

Gosh. Let's just go.

I'll see you out.

Why didn't you tell us? That you're working with that judge.

Oh, I was going to tell you, but I've just been so swamped.

He was a sharp kid. He turned out great.

- Thank you. - Honey.

We've taken up enough of their time. We should go.

- Right, let's go. - Let go of me.

- What's gotten into you? - I'll leave when I'm ready.

Just one last thing.

You must really love fried chicken, Your Honor.

- Excuse me? - Your team eats chicken daily.

So whenever Pillip comes home, the whole house reeks of chicken.

I see. I'll be mindful, and we'll have beef.

- Oh, that's not what I meant. - I'm taking the picture now.

One, two, three!

- Have you eaten, sir? - Are you not eating?

- I did. - You did?

Working hard, are we?

I'm sorry, sir.

At least you know you should be.

Yes. My father...

insisted I send a proof shot to my aunt.

Why'd you have to drag your parents into it?

It was good to see them. It's been too long.

So then,

what did I do wrong now?

What did I tell you on your first day?

To become a good judge,

you must first become a good person.

- And? - Work hard. You have much to learn.

- And? - This place has great chicken.

It won't be a bad place to work.

- Not that. - Mr. Shin is eccentric,

but he's good at the job.

I think that was the last thing you said.

Right. Mr. Shin is eccentric.

He bends the rules instead of following them.

You're the one who told me he breaks the law without a thought.

And now, you're letting him rub off on you?

Me, sir?

What's Article 7, Section 2 of the Judicial Code of Ethics?

A judge must not join an organization...

with political objectives,

nor engage in election campaigns or compromise their neutrality.

I wasn't campaigning.

That crook on TV, Choi Woong Sik or whatever,

you said you wanted him to lose the election.

No, but I didn't directly campaign against him.

I only found evidence of his illegal activities.

Hanging out with Mr. Shin has made you a real smooth talker.

Is that a compliment?

Follow me.

I sent you there to learn how to be a real judge.

Not some book-smart elitist in a robe...

but a real judge who can see cases from the people's perspective.

But instead, you get caught on video next to an election candidate.

That's a misunderstanding.

Due to a false food poisoning claim, MFDS and Kkokkio came, so...

You should avoid all appearances of impropriety.

- Yes, sir. - You've worked hard with Mr. Shin.

It's time to come back now.

You mean, right away?

Why?

Don't you want to?

No, it's not that. You said I need to approach the case...

from the perspective of the public.

I still lack practical experience and... Well...

And Mr. Shin is now teaching me the art of negotiation.

And that's a skill that's essential for mediating cases in the future.

Don’t stutter.

What's your point?

I'd like to train under him...

for just two more months.

Two months?

(Hujin Arcade)

(Maheon Councilman Candidate Kwon Chil Bong)

(Independent, Kwon Chil Bong)

If only I hadn't backed down at the last minute.

You would've lost again anyway.

What are you talking about?

Choi Woong Sik went to jail, so I was a shoo-in this time.

Running for office again and again is its own kind of addiction.

You've spent enough on campaigns to buy this laundromat easily.

What? And what about you?

You don't even run. So why didn't you buy yours?

- What did you say? - Give me that!

Give it back!

(Independent, Kwon Chil Bong)

My precious vest...

- Get out! - I'm going!

I'll never come back. We are so done!

(Independent)

When all worldly ties are severed, death arrives.

Even the dazzling sound like lightning is but a fleeting dream.

Oh, the three souls are distant. Where have they gone?

Oh, the seven hundred, so vast and endless.

Are you journeying far away?

We send you off in your burial shroud.

Why isn't she coming out?

Did you find anything on Kim Yong Woo?

Nothing's in Kim Yong Woo's name. Not his phone, house, or accounts.

He's probably using a burner phone or someone else's name.

He's so shameless, he could get away with even more.

Is Mr. Shin from then Jun's father?

Yes. If it weren't for Mr. Shin,

Ji Woo and Joon's fates could have been switched.

It's terrifying just to think about it.

Which is why I feel even more indebted to him.

Hey, catch me if you can!

We're closed today.

It's Mr. Shin's day off.

But it's not a holiday or the weekend. Why?

Beats me.

He took the same day off last year, remember?

He did?

Is it the anniversary of a death in his family?

Daddy, look!

Daddy, look at me.

("Professor Kim's Core Summary")

(Chicken Center)

When did you get here?

Did I wake you?

No, I just dozed off for a minute.

I was just doing the homework you gave me.

All right, shall we have a look at that homework?

What's with the cranky teacher act?

I brought you the master file.

The one that made the laundromat guy drop out of the race?

No, it's the GED master file. All the past questions.

- What? - I put it together myself.

(Korean Language, English, Social Studies)

Wait, you compiled all of these questions yourself?

If you can solve everything in here, you're sure to pass in two months.

Here, start Korean Language.

Don't answer it.

It'll go to voicemail.

(Chicken Center)

Where did Mr. Shin go?

Beats me.

I guess it's an annual thing.

What?

He took the same day off last year.

What's so special about today?

I told you, I don't know.

Are you really not curious, or are you just pretending?

What does it matter?

It's his business.

On this day each year,

he wears a black suit and goes somewhere.

You know the look of someone leaving?

The kind of look that says, "Don't ask."

So I've just never asked.

I guess he doesn't want anyone to know.

Or he would've said something about it last year.

You're really something else.

The more I get to know you...

What about me?

What?

Nothing. Just that you can't go home until you finish all this.

(Shin Jay)

(Negotiation expert)

(Iraq hostage negotiation)

(Iraq, Baghdad)

Doesn't Mr. Shin ever mention me?

I mean, we've known each other for over 15 years.

So then, at least 15 years ago today...

"He grabbed a five-year-old child..."

"who was sliding down the slide at the playground..."

"The suspect was addicted to drugs..."

"The boy, Shin, whose birthday was two days away..."

Shin?

- What is it? - What are you doing here?

Hey.

I knew I'd find you here.

I'm having a nice, quiet time,

- so don't bother me. - I'll bet.

But good times are even better when they're shared.

Dad!

Even now,

I remember it so vividly.

I know.

I miss him.

Jun.

How about a drink?

(Ttoli Super)

("Officer Promoted for Arresting Councilman")

Well, now, he looks pretty sharp, doesn't he?

The bear performs the feat,

but the police reap the rewards.

So who's the bear?

Never mind.

- Why? - You drank a lot, didn't you?

- Can you smell it on me? - You reek of it!

Here you are, trying to act all fine.

You must be really bummed about giving up the election.

Oh, don't be like that. Come on.

Here, have one of these.

Thanks.

Stay strong.

I'm Kang Yeo Gyeong. I look forward to working with you.

You're the star of the election, right?

You're too kind.

I see why he praised you so much.

You're with me for this special investigation.

Yes. All the rent scammers in Korea,

- I'll catch every last one of them. - I like her attitude.

I won't let you down.

All right, that's enough. Let's go.

- We're going to see the victims. - Yes, sir.

Detective Choi, can I have a word?

What is it?

It'll only take a second.

- I'll meet you in the garage. - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Did you go see Yun Dong Hee?

How did you know?

Hey, that case got you disciplined. Why would you go there again?

It was the anniversary of his death. His dad was there, so I stopped by.

- How did you even know? - Oh, I didn't.

The Commissioner called me this morning.

He told me to keep you away from that case.

Are the higher-ups keeping tabs on me?

No, it's not you they're watching.

I think they're keeping tabs on Yun Dong Hee.

The report wasn't, "Choi Cheol went to see Yun Dong Hee."

It was, "Yun Dong Hee was visited by Choi Cheol."

That's how it was phrased to me.

So someone's watching Yun Dong Hee.

Anyway, stay out of it. I told the Commissioner...

you were about to catch the king of rental deposit scams.

What's the point? Darn it! The victims never get their money back.

Well, that's...

Hey!

(Serving the community with compassion)

(Hujin Arcade)

I thought you said you didn't want pizza.

This is good for a hangover. Tomatoes help process acetaldehyde,

and the greasy cheese is good for your liver.

- In America, - He drank because he was upset.

it's a popular hangover cure.

What's with that look?

My stomach's already killing me.

- Hello, sir. - Hey.

Oh, so a customer walks in and you just keep eating pizza?

- You want some chicken? - No.

I knew it. You're no customer.

- Can I get you a coffee? - No, thanks. It gives me heartburn.

Looks like they were drinking together.

What?

What's with that look? Now cut it out.

- Cut it out. - Stop staring.

(Chicken Center)

It's a security deposit return lawsuit.

- A rental deposit scam? - Yes.

Why are you bringing up rental deposit scams...

to someone who lives on a monthly rent?

Pillip.

So what about you? Rent or own?

I'm what they call a boomerang kid. I haven't moved out on my own yet.

See? You heard him.

Neither of us can handle this, right?

Even the government can't solve this.

So why are you bringing the case to a fried chicken restaurant?

You just keep drinking that. Let me get a word in.

The plaintiff and the defendant grew up together at an orphanage.

They're close friends.

They worked hard while aging out and were about to be on their own.

Wait, they bought a house already? Wow, impressive.

(Supporting documents, method of proof)

That's strange.

It is, isn't it? It gets stranger when you look closer.

The plaintiff's getting married soon. We're running out of time.

Meet both sides, mediate quickly, and come back with a settlement.

Don't make them honeymoon in court. Got it?

Hey, I'm not finished talking yet. Sit back down.

- No, really, I'm good. - I said I'm not done talking.

Hey, Pillip!

- Squeeze every last cent. Got it? - Yes, sir!

- If he refuses, play hardball. - Yes, sir!

- Got it? - Yes, sir!

Sir!

What? You don't think you can handle it either?

No, that's not it.

It's just...

By any chance, this child...

is he Mr. Shin's son?

(Child dead in drug-fueled playground hostage situation)

- What did Mr. Shin say? - I haven't had a chance to ask him.

I just thought you might know.

If you're curious, ask him yourself. Don't ask me.

So that's why you were giving him that sappy look.

If you want to know something, find it out yourself.

If you're curious, ask him yourself. Don't ask me.

But how am I supposed to ask him?

"Mr. Shin, are you married?"

No, that's not it. "Mr. Shin, do you have children?"

That's even worse.

"Why did you go drinking with Judge Kim?"

I have no idea.

If you're curious, ask him yourself.

What's up? Did something good happen?

Why are you staring at that wall like you're in love with it?

Why so jumpy?

Did you squeeze him for that commission?

- Commission? - The old man asked us to work.

Aren't you coming?

Oh, coming!

Why are we here? Shouldn't we meet the parties first?

It's a lawsuit between friends. They know each other inside and out.

We're at an overwhelming disadvantage.

The key to any negotiation...

isn't what you say, it's what you know.

Are you any good with a camera?

Of course. Want me to take one for you?

Forget it. Just play your part.

Not all of the kids here are orphans.

"I'll be back in a month."

"Just stay for a year."

But they never come back, so this is their home.

What about Baek Seung Mu and Ko Jae Kyung?

Oh, Jae Kyung doesn't have parents,

and Seung Mu's mother left him here when he was seven.

They both aged out of our care and left to live on their own.

Were the two of them close?

Oh, yes. People used to ask if they were blood brothers.

I remember when Seung Mu first arrived.

He wouldn't eat or say a word.

Whenever he got upset, he'd hide in the corner and stay.

Seung Mu!

Seung Mu.

Found you. Now I'm...

coming in.

When I'd check on them later, I'd see them playing together inside.

To think those cute kids are all grown up now.

Not too long ago, Jae Kyung brought his girlfriend to visit.

And Seung Mu reconnected with his mom and moved into her building.

Oh, Jae Kyung lives in the same apartment building too.

- The same building? - Yes.

By the way...

which paper did you say you're from? I'm afraid I don't recall.

We're just a small publication,

so people tend to forget about us.

Hey, Reporter Jo.

When the article comes out, send it to her right away.

Will do.

What a shame.

A friendship torn apart over a security deposit.

It's not torn apart yet.

What makes you say that?

Didn't you hear them?

They said they live in the same apartment building.

Well, that's just a fact.

When Jae Kyung brought his girlfriend over,

he must not have mentioned his problems with Seung Mu.

He probably didn't want the director to worry.

So what's the deciding factor in a negotiation?

Information, not words.

I'm really glad we came here.

You're being unusually agreeable today.

What are you talking about? When have I ever been difficult?

So how are things going with Si On?

What are you talking about? It's not like that between us.

I meant how is her GED prep going?

Hit a nerve?

I'm not being defensive.

Hey, hold on.

- Hey, I said let go so we can talk! - So what are you gonna do about it?

- I told you I'd pay you back! - Darn it.

You want to hit me? Go on, then. Hit me!

You jerk!

Hey, you're so dead. You hear me?

Go on, kill me! Hit me! Just do it! I wish I were dead.

- I swear I will... - Hey, what are you doing?

Watching the fight. Stay out of it.

- Go on, kill me. Just do it. - Sir, you can't just...

- I really do wish I were dead. - Oh, this is great.

Don't mind me. Keep fighting.

It was getting fun. Why did you stop?

What's so great about this?

Of course it's fun, my friend. If you can't enjoy a good fight,

- what's the point of living? - Who says something like that?

I do. What about it?

If you start a fight, you finish it.

It was just getting exciting. Man, what a buzzkill.

Hey, you jerk! Baek Seung Mu, where are you going?

Excuse me.

Baek Seung Mu.

And you must be Ko Jae Kyung?

If you two are done fighting,

I need to have a word with you.

I've been under a lot of stress lately.

Is this apartment building really in your name?

Yes. It wasn't long after I aged out of the children's home.

My mom contacted me.

She apologized for not being there and offered me this building.

And your friend, Ko Jae Kyung...

moved in with you at that time?

Yes.

I was in public housing before that, but had to move when my aid ran out.

Didn't you know the building was heavily mortgaged?

I just found out. The agent said everything was fine.

And since Seung Mu was the owner,

I didn't suspect a thing. We're practically brothers.

What did you do with the deposits you collected?

It was a pretty hefty sum.

I honestly don't know.

My mom handles all the money. I never even saw a cent of it.

But Seung Mu is the landlord.

He's not just some random person.

We grew up in an orphanage together. We know exactly how hard it's been.

This money...

is everything to me.

My wedding is in a month,

and I still haven't been able to tell my fiancée.

I never said I was going to stiff him.

My mom invested it somewhere. She hasn't gotten it back yet,

so I asked him to wait.

He's said "soon" for six months! I was desperate, so I sued him.

I can't even sleep. I just jolt awake,

and sometimes, I honestly just want to die.

Do you know your mother's address?

Yes. I have her address, but...

I've never actually been there.

(Haneul Apartments)

Ko Jae Kyung's apartment has only a single mattress.

Baek Seung Mu had pill bottles, and his mood swings are extreme.

Why does it feel like they're both victims?

This whole thing spells trouble.

This is exactly why I can't stand that guy, Judge Kim. Seriously.

The judge is a good person. I'll work harder.

Oh, would you look at that? Sticking up for your own, are we?

- The legal cartel at its finest. - Excuse me?

Unbelievable.

(National Legal Medical Facility)

You're back? You missed lunch. Where have you been?

I'm on a diet.

Does any of this make sense to you?

What part?

Since we started our investigation a month ago,

the number of victims has actually gone up?

That's because more and more leases are coming to an end.

After meeting with that victim, I've decided to buy my own place.

The whole thing just freaked me out.

Must be nice. Buying your own place.

- I need to get a loan first. - Must be nice, getting a loan.

This is it.

Looks like it's broken.

Oh Mi Sook? Are you home?

(Bill payment notice)

Oh Mi Sook? Are you in there?

No one lives here. It's just a registered address.

There are several months' worth of mail piled up.

Oh Mi Sook!

Anyone home?

I seriously can't make heads or tails of this.

Shouldn't this be written clearly to stop people from getting scammed?

There's a senior collateral mortgage on the property,

and all nine tenants are on rental deposit contracts.

On top of that, ownership changed from Oh Mi Sook to Baek Seung Mu.

It's a textbook rental deposit scam targeting a multi-family building.

That's not how Baek Seung Mu sees it.

He thinks he can repay the deposits when his mom's investment pays off.

He's just naive enough to believe it.

I know, right? It's obvious his mom framed him and skipped town.

What mother abandons her son, and returns after 20 years for this?

A monster of a mother.

Well, she is awful. You're better off without her.

It's better for the child's mental health.

And another thing, not having a mom...

doesn't make you pitiful or messed up.

I mean, look at me.

You're really something else.

I'm just proud of you for solving those problems without nodding off.

Hello, you've reached the fried chicken restaurant.

That's it! That's it!

You're here?

Come on!

Come on. Darn it.

- You couldn't even hang in there? - You play video games?

I was just killing time while waiting. So I played a bit.

Hey, but listen.

Where do you keep digging up these cases?

You think I picked them? It was Judge Kim.

Forget it. I'm allergic to court matters.

Does Oh Mi Sook have a record too?

No, but the guy she's living with does.

Three priors for real estate fraud.

Besides that multi-family building she transferred to her son's name,

she currently owns more than 10 other properties.

Five of which are about to go to auction.

- So the guy's a broker? - Exactly.

There are these investment groups joined by word-of-mouth,

where they get tips on developments, sell properties,

and find properties you can get without paying a premium.

At first, they let you make a profit on little deals, bit by bit.

But once you bite on a big one? They clean you out completely.

Hey, get me in there.

Darn it.

What?

It's an exclusive group.

- Stop dissing me, man. - You're too small-time.

Hey, Mr. Shin.

Yes, Chairman Park. Where are you right now?

Why are you waiting out here?

His guest just left. He's waiting for you inside.

Okay.

What are you staring at?

Sir.

You know that credit card you have. The black one.

- Yes? - A card like that has no limit?

What do you mean, no limit? The limit is whatever I can afford.

Why? You need money? Running for the merchant association?

That's way too small-time. I'm aiming for bigger fish this time.

Sure. Do whatever you want.

Just run your business properly.

And no more health inspections.

What's the point, when you tell me not to make a profit?

My costs are too high.

- Have a safe trip home, sir. - Okay.

Thank you.

Madam Joo.

Are you free tomorrow, by any chance?

What for?

The chairman wanted you to have this.

Well...

Thank you.

He said be careful with the watch. It's a limited edition.

Right, I will.

He's so full of himself.

This watch is ridiculously fancy.

Oh, right. Now, where were we?

I'm free tomorrow.

Perfect.

- He's practically robbing me blind. - What on earth is he up to now?

At least he's not moping around. What's the big deal?

You're loaded, so I guess it's fine.

Look at you, so generous with my money.

This doesn't look good on me, does it?

What are you talking about? You look absolutely beautiful.

Here, try this one on too.

Come on.

Everything's ready.

- Shall we go? - Okay.

I'll have the rest sent over. Just take this for now.

I've never done any of this before.

It was a first for me too, and I had a lot of fun.

But you seemed like such a natural.

I meant it's my first time shopping with someone like this.

My daughter is about your age,

- but I've never done this with her. - Why not?

She moved abroad when she was little.

But why do I need to go through all this?

- Mr. Shin said it was for a date. - He did?

- Glad you could make it. - Yes.

Mr. Lee.

- How have you been? - Good to see you.

Thanks to you, I've made a fortune.

Right. I'll swing by later.

What area are you interested in? Redevelopment?

Buildings? Or maybe auctions?

No, I prefer something small-scale. Quick in, quick out.

But in high volume.

You think a lot like that gentleman over there with the glasses.

I run a VIP group. I'll send you an invite.

Just enter the password written here.

You have my ID, right?

Of course. Everyone here is verified,

so getting in early is a surefire way to make money.

Thank you.

They're meeting right now.

(Si On: They're meeting right now.)

(From Mr. Shin)

Since Baek Seung Mu knows our faces, Si On, you go to the meeting place.

When they split up, follow Oh Mi Sook, then meet Pillip.

But, Mom, I told you Jae Kyung's getting married next month.

It's for the deposit on their new place!

I'm so ashamed that I can't even face you or Jae Kyung.

I just called the investment firm. They said to wait one more week.

They said if I pull out now, I'll lose 20 percent of the principal.

But you've been saying "just wait" for months now.

This is killing me too. The market's awful, I'm losing money.

Anyway, I'll get you the money next week.

If I have to, I'll take out a loan to pay Jae Kyung's deposit first.

I promise.

- You mean it this time, right? - Of course I do.

We'll go to Jae Kyung's wedding together.

Okay?

Let's go.

Check, please.

They're leaving the cafe now.

- Get home safe! - Okay, you too.

Seung Mu is blowing up my phone.

I can't wait until the end of this week.

I sent the documents this morning, so cash out and move our flight up.

What are you doing?

That woman already left.

Are you coming or what?

Where are you off to? Got plans tonight? A get-together?

- What do you mean? I'm off to work. - Then why do you look so pretty?

I know, right? I startled myself in the mirror.

I was just so pretty. I barely recognized myself.

No, I'm serious. Why are you all dolled up?

It's for the date.

Hey, you're here.

- What's up? - I just saw my mom.

She'll pay the deposit next week. She'll get a loan if she has to.

Darn it. I'll believe it when I see it.

It's not like this is the first time.

She said she's really sorry.

She wants to go to your wedding with me.

For real this time?

Yes. Listen, Jae Kyung.

Please, just give her one more week.

I'm sorry. My mom promised.

Give me a break with the "my mom" excuses.

Whatever. I should get back to work.

- Hey, Jae Kyung, wait up. - What is it?

Here, take this.

It's 10,000 dollars. Put it toward the wedding.

Where did you get this?

My pay and my part-time job. I broke into my savings for the rest.

Darn it, are you crazy? How are you going to get by?

I'm a landlord.

Go on.

Hurry up and go. You said you were busy.

All right, I'm going.

Go on.

Have a good shift.

Go ahead.

Okay.

- Hello? - I'm dropping the lawsuit.

Excuse me?

Did you get the deposit?

What? He's dropping the lawsuit without even getting the deposit?

Yes. Apparently, Seung Mu's mom promised it for next week.

Seriously? And he's naive enough to believe her again?

Okay, I'll go meet with Ko Jae Kyung.

Find out what Oh Mi Sook is up to.

I'll call you back.

Si On.

Hey, you. What are you doing here? I saw you on the street earlier.

Are you following me?

Why would I be following you?

You've been following me since before the intersection.

Honey!

What took you so long?

I was on a call outside. Have you been waiting long?

Oh, and you are?

Do you know her?

No.

This lady keeps asking if I was following her.

Do you have something to say to my girlfriend?

I must have been mistaken.

- Sorry about that. - Honey.

Yes?

What's wrong?

It's nothing. Let's go.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

Your booking is until next weekend, but you'd like to check out early?

- Yes, we'll check out tomorrow. - All right. Just a moment, please.

- Do you have any rooms available? - Yes, ma'am. One moment, please.

All right, you're all set.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's so hot in here.

Nice wallpaper.

Sir!

It's about Oh Mi Sook, the landlord of that victim we met.

What about her?

The titles to Oh Mi Sook's underwater properties...

have been transferred.

To whom?

(Haneul Apartments)

Baek Seung Mu

- Yes? - You're Baek Seung Mu, right?

Yes, that's me.

What's with all this...

Don't take those.

- From tenants demanding deposits. - Tenants?

Why are they coming to me?

Those underwater properties that Oh Mi Sook owned.

They've all been transferred into Baek Seung Mu's name.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

(Missed Calls, Messages)

How could she do this?

How could you do this to me?

And you call yourself a mother?

(Pick up. Please give it back. It's my life savings.)

Oh Mi Sook and Lee In Chul. Neither is on the departure list.

They could buy a ticket and flee, so keep a close eye on them.

Yes, sir.

Yes, this is Choi Cheol.

Oh, yes, Director. I'll be right there.

Hey, wrap this up and head home. Call me if anything comes up.

Yes.

(Homeless Rental Fraud Case, Incheon Airport Departure Manifest)

(Rental Fraud Case: Victim Statements)

Hey, Seung Mu! Baek Seung Mu!

Darn it.

Where is he...

He's not picking up.

- Hey, Mr. Shin. - Yes?

It's about Oh Mi Sook.

Hello?

What?

Okay, I'm on my way.

- They can't reach Seung Mu. - Go. Hurry.

- Hey, call me if anything happens. - Okay.

Banoxin is used for cocaine addiction,

and the rest are all just antipsychotics, right?

Yes. They're used mainly for schizophrenia,

but there are so many different kinds here.

But...

This looks like he was forcibly drugged.

Oh, about that.

What if...

What would happen if a healthy person took these?

- There would be side effects. - Like what?

Motor and physical impairments, metabolic, endocrine, and cardiac...

For example?

Trouble walking,

difficulty speaking, and being drowsy at random times.

So they'd just be completely out of it?

Yes. If they took the dosage prescribed.

(Haneul Apartments)

Seung Mu!

Hey, Seung Mu! Hey, darn it!

- Hey, Seung Mu. - Seung Mu!

Hey, what is going on?

- Yes, Haneul Apartments, unit 301. - Seung Mu.

Someone's collapsed. Please get here as fast as you can.

Seung Mu.

Seung Mu!

(Chicken Center)

Oh, Detective Choi.

- I'm sorry, it's so late. - No, it's fine.

But what's this about?

Yun Dong Hee has disappeared.

Wait...

Yun Dong Hee is missing?

He escaped from the hospital.

(Shin's Project)

We just have different priorities, Detective Choi.

All I need is to find Jun's killer. I don't care about the rest.

- Are you okay? - I'm not,

so I have to do something.

Give us our security deposit back!

What do you think you're doing?

Persuasion is for dealing with human beings.

Just get me some bullets.

If Mr. Shin does something crazy...

Please spare our lives.

The price for a life is a life.
