Tomorrow night.

Excuse me.

It's okay. Really. I'm not some kind of creep.

You're Yun Dong Hee's doctor, right?

I've called you dozens of times, and I've come looking for you.

I even left all those messages. Please, just give me a moment.

What is this about?

In that case, let me just ask you one thing.

The medication Yun Dong Hee was on,

did you prescribe it?

It's all right. Please, just tell me the truth.

Because of Yun Dong Hee,

- someone could be in danger. - I have nothing to say.

You didn't do this alone, did you? Someone put you up to this, right?

Detective or not, you can't be here. This is completely out of line.

I'm sorry.

I'm not trying to make this difficult for you.

If someone put you up to this, I can protect...

Ma'am.

I'll wait. So please, call me.

(Shin's Project)

Early this morning, on an Ilsan apartment rooftop,

a doctor in her 40s fell to her death.

The woman, a psychiatrist at the National Forensic Hospital,

was recently suffering...

- Where did he go? - from extreme work-related stress.

Based on the apartment's CCTV footage,

police believe she jumped to her death.

Meanwhile, police plan to investigate...

the exact circumstances of the fall.

(Under Investigation, Do Not Enter)

Why here of all places?

Hey, it's dangerous there. What are you doing?

Hurry up and get out.

Gosh, a woman, all by herself?

Are you sure Dr. Cha So Yeon jumped?

There are no signs of foul play.

She must've been under great pressure.

Hey, you said she was on duty the day Yun Dong Hee escaped, right?

Yes. She was sleeping in the on-call room,

and it was all caught on CCTV.

No, let go of me! Let me see his personal physician!

Why on earth not?

I told you, she's not here right now.

Darn it. So she was at the hospital after all.

Let me know as soon as Cha So Yeon's autopsy results are in.

Her family is refusing an autopsy.

What? Why would they refuse?

There were no signs of foul play.

Besides, she apparently wasn't eating,

and she wasn't sleeping well either. They're closing the case soon.

I have to watch my back, too. Word is you're stuck on Yun Dong Hee.

My bad.

Thanks, anyway.

Hey, appreciate all the hard work. Yes, thank you.

Could I take a look at the CCTV footage?

Are you asking about the doctor?

The police already took the footage from after she left work yesterday.

Yes, I know all about that.

I need footage from all cameras, about two days' worth.

You'll need an official request for that.

That's why I brought this for you. See?

Go on, help yourself.

(Chicken Center: Fresh Chicken in Fresh Oil)

- Let me. I'll throw it out. - What?

Attorney Cho Pillip.

You remember me, don't you?

Ms. Mo Sun Mi?

You haven't changed a bit.

Do those two know each other?

I guess they're close. She told him he hasn't changed a bit.

Hey, aren't you going home?

Yes, I'm heading out.

She's crying. I never thought Pillip was like that.

Making a woman cry just like that.

Why would she come all this way just to cry?

Mr. Shin!

Si On!

Ye On!

Ma'am!

Please, you have to help me.

I'll look into it.

(Hujin Arcade)

One order of japchae with rice.

I saw Mr. Shin was by himself, so I came in to join him.

I thought he might be lonely.

You hear that?

If it weren't for Mr. Shin, I never would've set foot in here.

Like I'm thrilled to see you either.

So, where's Pillip? How come you're alone?

I like eating alone.

Come on, eat with me.

- Hello, please take one. Thank you. - Hello? Thanks.

Hello.

We're running a promotion. Please take a look.

You can just leave it there.

Well, on the ground, this is just trash,

but to someone, it could be a free personal training session.

What is this? Is this country a joke? Is this even legal?

What are we supposed to...

This is ridiculous!

(Franchise Owners Are Dying)

This is completely insane! What are we supposed to do?

How is this possible?

What?

- Thank you. - This isn't over yet.

Don't you ever give up.

(The Head Office's Margin Fees Are the Price of Our Lives)

Why am I such a mess?

I fell for the same thing a few years ago,

and this time, I still didn't read the contract properly.

It's not your fault, Sun Mi.

The contract that exploits legal loopholes is the problem.

They treat you like a regular employee but pay you peanuts,

and when there's a problem, the company takes no responsibility.

So does that mean I won't get paid?

It's not entirely hopeless. Don't ever give up.

- I should probably get going. - Okay. Take care.

Who was that woman last night?

- A woman? Which one? - One who came looking for Pillip.

How would I know?

You were here longer than I was.

Something was going on between them. The woman was crying her eyes out.

- She was crying? Why? - What do you mean, why?

She was probably upset.

Come on. There you go again, being dramatic.

A lovers' quarrel? I didn't think Pillip was a jerk.

And after coming in here so often...

asking, "Is Si On on a delivery? Is she gone?"

Hey, Mr. Jang.

Hey, you got any cash? I forgot my card.

Well, Pillip does have the looks to be popular with the ladies.

- Si On, about Pillip and a woman... - I'm not interested.

See? She's not interested!

Just drop it, seriously.

Gosh.

She told you to drop it.

- But was she pretty? - Yes, stunningly beautiful.

And at the end, they were passing a contract back and forth.

A contract relationship?

(Chicken Center)

- Hey, you're here. - Hey.

Hey, what gives? Why are you alone? Where's your assistant?

He's taking the day off. The nerve, taking days off when I don't.

Come on, he's allowed to take it.

What, are you abusing your power as the boss now, Mr. Shin?

A few days ago, I got a spam text from Yun Dong Hee's number,

and it led to the same bank as before.

Hey, I confirmed the one-million-dollar deposit.

Who in the world is giving him that much money?

Obviously some really shady character.

Player Kim. Did you try calling that number?

No, it won't go through.

On the day the money was deposited, something must have happened.

Hey, Mr. Shin. You said this was only about money.

If I can figure out who's sending the money and why,

I think I can track Yun Dong Hee's movements.

Just sitting around like this is driving me crazy.

Hey, don't get in too deep. Gosh, you're making me nervous.

Ms. Mo, I heard you met with a lawyer?

Did you hear that from Ms. Cheon?

So what did you and the lawyer talk about?

Get in here.

We weren't the only ones who saw you leave.

The store manager saw you, and so did the other instructors.

Did I do something wrong?

What were you thinking, meeting a lawyer so openly?

When you do that, it puts all of us in a bad spot.

Remember what happened when we went to the labor board together?

We solved nothing and angered him.

I got counter duty, Yun got bathrooms,

and you're stuck handing out flyers.

Our pay is so overdue,

I was just trying to do something about it.

I'm begging you, just stop.

We didn't even get paid. We just got on the manager's bad side!

- I'm sorry. - Please, don't drag us into this.

- The CEO is away on business. - When is he expected back?

Next week.

What's this?

Is this better than padding? This...

Seriously? What the heck?

Shoulders, upper chest, arms.

Perfect. I'll buy this for now.

If this works... Man.

Won't I look way too jacked?

If you want to leave your info, I can pass it along to him.

That's all right. I'll just come back next week.

- Okay. - It's all ready for CEO Hong.

Cho Pillip?

Wait, Dong Seok? What are you doing here?

What do you think?

I'm the legal counsel for PHG.

I see.

Is that right?

You must be hot. Here, drink up. There you go.

It seems PHG has its employees sign independent contractor agreements.

And it's designed to make it hard to prove their employment.

That's pretty much a standard contract in this industry.

It says it all right there.

Despite being fully informed about...

the option of an employment contract,

the party agreed to sign this agreement.

They knew exactly what they signed.

You must have drafted it yourself.

That's why it's legally airtight.

Airtight for the employer, maybe.

But unfair to the helpless employees.

That's the mark of a good lawyer. You must give your client an edge.

And are you aware your client hasn't paid employees in six months?

Such minor details don't concern me. Why?

Is someone suing?

Which branch?

Hey, leaving already?

I should get going. The contract you drew up,

isn't a display of a lawyer's skill. It's just legal maneuvering.

And it doesn't just favor your client.

It encourages illegal activity.

It looks like there's a lot to review, legally speaking.

See yourself out.

That disrespectful little punk. Darn it.

He gets appointed as a judge and suddenly has no respect...

Gosh, that son of a...

That punk shows up out of nowhere and starts making trouble. Bastard.

Did you get ahold of CEO Hong?

He said he's surfing all day and asked not to be contacted.

Gosh, that guy's head is always in the clouds.

He doesn't realize how critical this is.

Which branches had the unpaid wages again?

The Maheon 1 and 2 branches, and the Chungsan 1 branch...

Alright, I get it.

Get me all of the employee contracts from those locations.

The conditions are different from the contract. Take a look.

It's a bit of a gray area to report as a labor law violation,

and I'm not sure we'd be able to win in court.

This is technically airtight, so maybe we need to find a new angle.

Have you ever handled a similar case?

Hold on a second.

Look at this.

(Unpaid Wages)

(Article 7: Contract Termination)

(Party A: Hong Bong Su, Party B: Jeon Hong Gi)

(Case Precedents)

Man, why are there so many delivery orders today?

- They just keep coming. - I packed the drinks and radish.

Okay.

Seriously, that Pillip kid.

Taking a day off at a time like this?

He's absolutely useless.

- I saw him walk by earlier today. - You're kidding. Where?

He was with some woman.

What woman?

The pretty woman from last night. I'll be back.

Okay, be careful.

It's funny how she can tell that other people are pretty,

but she's clueless about how pretty she is.

(Chicken Center)

Help yourselves, everyone. Eat up.

- Thank you for the food! - Thank you!

Sure.

Let's eat. Come on, dig in.

You could've just come by yourself. You brought your whole crew.

They had to come pay their respects.

And my guys here, they just, you know,

love this chicken.

Hey, no need to worry about me. My restaurant is doing just fine.

It's a nice, cozy little place.

For some reason, it feels especially cozy today.

How have you been? Things slow?

Gosh, business is very slow right now, so no, not busy at all.

But even if I was swamped, Mr. Shin,

I'd drop everything and come running.

After all, you're the reason I'm able to make an honest living.

- Hey, Kim. - Yes, sir.

- I need to ask you for a favor. - Of course. Name it, sir.

(Chicken Center)

- That was incredibly delicious! - That was incredibly delicious!

All right, guys, get in the cars.

We're drawing too much attention,

and a big group makes us look more suspicious.

- Let's go! - Right away, sir!

- Sir. - Yes?

I have a few "tools" lying around. You should come for an "inspection."

A chainsaw, a pickaxe, and a crowbar.

Let me know if you need any equipment.

No. That's far enough, Kim.

I'll handle the rest from here.

- Understood, sir. - Thanks.

- Thanks for the food, sir! - Anytime.

- Right. - Get home safe.

Thank you, sir.

What? A chainsaw, a pickaxe, and a crowbar?

Yes. You told me to report strange things.

This qualifies as strange, right?

Huge guys were bowing deeply to him,

and this was long after closing time.

What did his accent sound like?

He had a strong regional accent.

Do you know him, Judge Kim?

- He's in construction. Ex-gangster. - A gangster?

And he said Mr. Shin would "handle the rest."

What do you suppose he meant by "handle it?"

That's what you have to find out.

Find out what dangerous business Mr. Shin is getting into.

Could it be related to Jun...

this time, too?

Hey, it's been a while. I was hoping you could do me a favor.

It's just a really old case, so there aren't any records.

Thanks.

Si On!

Si...

- You're here early. - How was your date yesterday?

What date?

I heard you were with that woman who came by the other day.

- You mean Sun Mi? It wasn't a date. - So her name's Sun Mi?

Yes.

A few years ago, the franchise owners of a macaron shop...

called Daldalbongju filed a class-action lawsuit...

against the head office.

There were persistent problems with inflated supply costs.

(Daldalbongju Margin Fee Class-Action Lawsuit)

Back then, Mo Sun Mi was a young startup franchisee.

Punish the Daldalbongju head office for taking unfair profits!

- Punish them! Punish them! - After a year and a half,

the head office won the first trial.

And I was the lawyer for the head office.

We'll take care of it all.

Right. Let's go.

Yes, let's get going.

- Punish them! Punish them! - Punish them! Punish them!

Then I guess that makes you her worst enemy.

Not her enemy, exactly.

I even told her about a precedent...

where franchisees won a similar case.

Wait, why? Feeling guilty?

That's an ethics violation for a lawyer, you know.

It's not a violation. Besides, legal precedents are public.

After I quit the firm, I took on a few cases pro bono,

but I couldn't help Sun Mi with her appeal.

The head office delayed the deadlines and postponed the trial,

so it's still not moving forward.

So?

Sun Mi's in a really tough spot.

She has to pay back her startup loan,

and prepare for the appeal,

but she hasn't been paid in six months,

so she's homeless and lives at a gym.

So, this time...

I really want to help Sun Mi.

The law shouldn't be a hindrance for young people trying to make it.

So is this what you came up with?

You think you can win with this?

Yes.

So they can't pull this stunt again,

I want to pull them out by the roots.

Right, but how does this let you pull them out by the roots?

With another "Article-something, Clause-something" argument?

There's none of that in here.

So I'm going to create it myself.

You confident?

Yes.

I'm confident.

Go ahead. I'll help you. On one condition.

Give and take.

I'll be sure to repay the favor.

Getting hit with this? Yes, that would hurt.

A chainsaw, a pickaxe, and a crowbar.

I'll handle the rest from here.

What is it?

No. It's nothing.

Gosh, who works out this early in the morning?

That's why they call it a morning workout.

Exercise is great! A marathon? Or a run in the park?

This all used to be muscle.

- Look at you, all excited. - You're all here.

What? Pillip?

I'm going to this place. First session is free. Don't miss it.

- What is this? - PHG?

Hey, isn't this that place? Where the woman with Pillip works.

What?

- I'm not going. - Playing the supportive boyfriend?

Come on, what are you talking about?

There's nothing between Sun Mi and me.

That's what all the cheaters say.

There was another woman? You had another one?

Hey, will you just stop with the nonsense?

This guy's a breeding ground for fake news.

You keep that up and you'll all end up in cuffs.

- Another one? Really? - No, I'm serious.

- Just for today. - There was another one?

Extend your arms more. All the way out.

Don't lean forward. You need to lean back, back.

I can do this.

You're leaning forward again. Open up your chest.

All the way.

Don't pull with your arms. Use your back. Pull with your back.

My back has a mind of its own.

(Notice of Power Disconnection)

(Past Due Notice: Electricity Bill)

Trainer!

Spare me!

We got no new members this month. I'm so sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Spare me!

Just keep going and I'll come around to check on you all.

Don't make your strides too long. And remember to breathe. Okay.

Sir, how much did you walk yesterday?

About 20,000 steps.

You really shouldn't be walking that much.

Why does he keep showing up? It's not like he's going to help out.

I know, right? What if the store manager sees him?

What can we do about it? We'll be the ones to clean up his mess.

Yes, I understand.

Right.

(PHG, Maheon Branch 2 Equipment Sale Record)

(Loading website)

(HFV Sports)

(Used, Like New)

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.

What are you talking about?

I should help Sun Mi the way she needs, not just the way I want to,

but I was so eager to help...

I'm worried I made her uncomfortable.

Look.

The trainers commit card fraud to meet their quotas,

plus they have unpaid wages and are behind on the electric bill.

So stop with the sentimental crap and figure out how to uproot this.

Pillip, your gut was right, man.

- Gosh, you okay? - Hold me steady!

Use your legs! I'm struggling here too.

- Go on, get in. - Every bone in my body aches.

Oh, man.

Hey, Pillip.

I left a grocery list on the counter.

Go buy that stuff and stock up.

Where are you going?

(Chicken Center)

Si On.

- Let go. - Let's just talk for a second.

There's nothing to talk about.

- Are you mad at me? - No.

Then why have you been avoiding me since yesterday?

- I'm not avoiding you. - You're doing it right now.

Is this about Sun Mi?

No.

I just can't stand the sight of you.

- Just like that? - Yes.

Come on...

But still, there has to be a reason.

If I can't stand the sight of you, what other reason do I need?

But why...

(Pluto)

What does she mean there's no reason?

What is wrong with me? Why do I keep getting so angry?

What are you doing?

Nothing. I can't do a thing.

Si On.

Could you close up the laundromat for me?

This place was a kindergarten, see? But low birth rates are a problem.

We can pour concrete here and add a steel door back here, right?

Right. We need better soundproofing. Hold on.

If you need water to clean up blood, we can just bring a water tank over.

Right this way.

Hey, Kim. Nice work acquiring this land.

Trouble? No, it was nothing.

When I first won it at auction,

the surrounding land was all tied up.

This whole area, front and back, it's all my private property now.

You could bury someone here, and no one would ever find them.

I have no intention of giving them a proper burial.

And I don't plan to cause you trouble either.

What about tools?

No, I don't need any. I've got my own.

(My Face, Yun Dong Hee)

That Yun Dong Hee. Where do you think that rat is?

He'll either skip the country soon, or he'll be caught before he can.

Before the cops get to him, I have to find him first.

This place is perfect.

I'll pay you the going rate for the rent.

Rent? Between us? Come on, forget it.

No, I like to keep things fair. Give and take.

So cold. You're a real Seoulite, aren't you?

- Hey, Kim. - Yes, sir?

You have an unused warehouse, don't you?

Yes, we've got a few spare ones at the company.

Let me borrow one of those as well.

Sure, but I'm not taking any money for that, you hear?

Good work, Boss.

- Thanks. - I'll be in touch.

Okay.

Today's so nice, isn't it?

- Yes. We should hang out again. - Lee Ye On! Ban Han!

Si On!

You came early!

Yes. I'm taking a break from night deliveries until my exam.

But why is Han here?

We were playing at Han's house,

and he came to walk me home.

It's not safe for Ye On to go home by herself.

- And how are you getting home, Han? - Come on, I'm a guy.

You two are something else. I thought you fought and were done.

And now look at you, holding hands.

That was yesterday. On our way to the field trip,

I was just mad because Han sat next to Seo Ah.

Why would that make you mad?

Because I like Han.

And besides, Seo Ah has long hair and she's so pretty.

No way. You're way cuter and prettier.

- You mean it? - Yes. You're infinitely prettier.

I can't watch this.

She's just jealous.

Why? Doesn't she have a boyfriend?

We're here. Go on in, Han.

See you at school tomorrow.

Bye, Ye On. Bye, Si On.

Bye.

- Shall we go home? - Okay.

She took one look at me and said,

"If I can't stand the sight of you, what other reason do I need?"

Just like that.

So you just left?

What was I supposed to do? She couldn't stand the sight of me.

Pillip.

Do you hate the sight of Si On?

- No. - Then go see her.

What?

Who needs a reason to see someone they like?

Ye On.

Aren't you at Han's place too often these days?

His mom always invites me over.

By the way, why doesn't Pillip come over anymore?

Why would he come over?

He visited us morning and night the other day.

No, that's...

- He only came because of Yong Pal. - So Pillip isn't your boyfriend?

- Of course not! - Why not?

Because he's not.

- There's Pillip. - Stop messing with me.

He's right over there.

Pillip! Hey, Pillip!

Hey, Ye On.

- How've you been? - Good.

Hey, Ye On, is your sister mad at me?

Kind of. I'm not sure.

What do you want?

I heard you're not doing deliveries until after your exams.

So I thought we could study together until then.

I can do it myself.

You said I'd pass just by studying the old tests.

But tricky problems are easier if someone explains them.

We could go to a study cafe together...

Forget it. I'll just study at home.

All right, then.

Do whatever you're comfortable with.

Si On.

So Pillip isn't your boyfriend?

- Of course not! - Why not?

Never mind.

- Go on inside. - What did you want to say?

Nothing.

I'm just glad I got to see you.

Okay.

I've taken up too much of your time.

Go on in.

I'll get going.

(Trainer Park Ji Hun)

Sir, excuse me. Could you please just hear us out?

So, who told them to just blindly sign the contract?

They should stop just working on their body...

and try using that brain of theirs.

From where I'm standing, there are no legal issues.

Daldalbongju?

So you're the one who ratted us out to Cho Pillip.

Hey, you have someone named Mo Sun Mi at the Maheon branch 2, right?

I told you to watch those idiots. You never know what they'll pull.

Let's make sure things don't go south. All right?

Yes, sir. Understood.

Excuse me! Sir!

No...

Yes, ma'am.

How are your legs today? We pushed a little harder than usual.

So make sure you take care of them. Try using a foam roller before bed.

All right, I'll see you tomorrow.

(Do Not Enter. Investigation in Progress)

Are you a member of the bereaved family?

Yes.

Thank you.

No one else seems to care.

So thank you. I really mean it.

Did Cha So Yeon have any particular reason to die?

An inmate escaped from the hospital right before my wife died.

She was really stressed out after that...

and very anxious.

I should've just told her to quit back then...

and told her it was okay to leave.

I didn't get to tell her that,

and I regret it so much.

Sir, it's not your fault.

My wife was so worried about the Director getting in trouble.

And I never even realized it.

Do you happen to know a detective named Choi Cheol?

I've never heard that name before.

He'll be able to help you.

(Gyeonggi Bukbu Police Agency. Choi Cheol)

- Thank you. - Of course.

Yes, ma'am. All right. We'll see you tomorrow.

- Sir, you wanted to see me? - Ms. Mo.

You should've just received a month's worth of pay.

I wish I could pay you all at once, but it's difficult for me right now.

I'll pay you every month from now on.

Thank you.

Are the other employees getting paid too?

They'll all get it this week, but it might be a day or two off.

Keep this between us.

- But you'll pay everyone, right? - Come on, of course.

And one more thing.

You're one of three managers selected for our new Bali branch.

Really?

Here. This is...

a deposit confirmation slip.

Sign here.

It's just a receipt saying you got paid.

You'll need this as proof to claim the rest of your pay, right?

Okay, I understand.

(Name: Mo Sun Mi)

Right. About the Bali Manager positions,

we're still deciding on the other two people besides you.

So, this is off the record.

I understand. Thank you.

I got paid today.

He said he'll pay me monthly from now on.

That's a relief.

But even if he says he'll pay you monthly,

And the six months' back pay?

I got a confirmation slip for that.

A confirmation slip?

Yes. It's proof the money was deposited.

So I don't think you need to help me anymore.

please just forget about the favor I asked of you.

Are you worried about how it looks to your coworkers?

Well, I'm getting paid now.

I appreciate you looking out for me all this time.

Okay.

I know everyone's swamped, but if you boost your sales now,

it's a fast track to becoming a Bali Manager.

All right, let's all push ourselves harder for the rest of the week.

- Understood? - Yes, sir!

That's all you've got? I said, understood?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Dismissed.

- Ms. Mo. - How much longer until we get paid?

We're having the entire gym disinfected tonight.

Should I let the other staff know? All equipment will need to be wiped.

No, that's okay. I've hired a service.

They're doing it late tonight, so you'll have to sleep elsewhere.

Okay, got it.

About the Bali manager position...

you haven't told anyone else, have you?

No, I haven't.

I hate to bring this up again, but...

- The other employees' pay... - Hey, I told you I'd pay them.

Okay? It'll all be deposited this week.

- Okay. - You can go now.

Okay.

Just like clockwork.

That's the life of a public servant.

Punctual arrivals, meals, and departures.

Right.

An incident occurred the same day the money was wired to Yun Dong Hee.

I know.

- You do? - The psychiatrist...

who died after jumping from her apartment.

So you know who that doctor was?

Yun Dong Hee's personal physician.

(Mr. Shin's Hot Fried Chicken Recipe)

(Chicken Center)

Where's Mr. Shin?

He had to take care of something.

Seriously? He called me over and then left?

What are you doing?

What?

Hey!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Just a drop splashed on me.

Just one little drop.

But it's all red.

So it is.

- It is red. - Seriously...

So why did you fry chicken all of a sudden?

Well...

Pillip, you want Si On on your side, don't you?

Yes.

Then who does she care about most in the world?

Her grandma and Ye On.

- And what's their favorite food? - Chicken?

Our chicken, to be exact.

Here.

Practice this recipe until you've perfected it,

and then make it for them.

I'm entrusting you with my special, secret recipe.

Pillip, no woman can resist a man who can cook.

Besides, someone must run the kitchen when I'm not around.

So either way, I have to learn this, don't I?

This is the art of negotiation, manipulating the choices.

You don't force the other person,

but you make them choose the path you've already laid out.

So you're using that tactic on me right now?

Not just any tactic.

An advanced one.

Well, it just happened.

Do you want to help me out?

What?

This special powder stops the grease...

and makes it crispy to the last bite.

There you go again, showing off. Even my grandma and Ye On know that.

Besides, I've been working here way longer than you.

But in the kitchen, I'm your senior.

You're so annoying.

Really? Seeing you always makes my day.

And I like the sight of you.

If I can't stand the sight of you, what other reason do I need?

Here, have a taste.

Here we go.

It's delicious! You try it!

See?

That's just the kind of guy I am. I even make a mean fried chicken.

So what's the deal with that woman?

I met her during my last case at the law firm.

- A client? - No.

The opposing party.

She was in a tough spot, but she lost the case.

So why did she come here?

Apparently, the gym hasn't paid her in six months.

What? But why does she still work there?

Because she has no choice but to stick it out.

They keep promising to pay her but push it back,

and stringing her along by promising a manager job at a branch abroad.

She seemed like she had it all together.

- Are you that dense? - What?

You have no idea how amazing you are.

Whatever...

So that's how you're going to be?

Hey, stop!

(Gyeonggi Bukbu Police Agency)

Why have you been watching the same footage since yesterday?

Yesterday was Building 103.

Today is Building 102.

Yes.

What?

Okay. I'm on my way.

Hey, what did you say you found?

Why was your business card in Cha So Yeon's pocket?

I'm not trying to make this difficult for you.

Ma'am.

I'll wait. So please, call me.

What about her bag? Wasn't her bag at the scene?

I clearly saw her put my card in her bag when I gave it to her.

Detective Choi.

That's not what's important right now.

It is important. Did she try to call before she died?

Hey, think about it. If she had, wouldn't that be strange?

Hey, this might not be a suicide.

My business card could be the evidence.

What if they say she jumped because you kept harassing her?

That card could make you the number one suspect.

I already told everyone on our team to keep their mouths shut.

What are you talking about? Darn it. I wasn't harassing anyone.

I just wanted to talk for a bit, but she took a call and left.

Check the CCTVs or any dashcams.

I don't know. Just stay out of it. Please.

Hey.

Who was the last person Cha So Yeon spoke with?

Detective Choi.

This didn't happen at some small-time psychiatric hospital.

This was at the Federal Medical Center.

How much bigger does this need to be?

Just drop it.

Hey, Detective Kwak!

Sir.

I'm thinking the same thing with you.

But you were transferred because of Yun Dong Hee, right?

So what if I did?

Never mind.

Look. That punk is a wanted man,

but he's not in the news at all.

He was in the news 15 years ago,

but now no one even knows his name.

This whole thing is driving me crazy.

Hey, just go on inside.

Stop saying, "go inside." I'm your partner.

When was the first deposit made into Yun Dong Hee's account?

Twice in 2009, one month apart,

and then this most recent one.

So, three times in total.

Is that it?

There was no deposit on the day of Jun's incident.

Mr. Shin.

At the time, I was certain about my investigation.

There's no way Yun Dong Hee could've done this alone.

I've confirmed the million-dollar deposit.

Who on earth is paying him that much money?

An inmate escaped from the hospital shortly before my wife died.

She was really stressed out after that.

My wife was so worried about the Director getting in trouble.

And I never even realized it.

You're Detective Choi Cheol, right?

You're the one who called me?

- Yes. I was told you could help. - I've been expecting you.

I gave Doctor Cha my business card that day.

I was wondering if she was trying to call me.

I was just curious.

I don't think that's it.

The last person my wife spoke with...

was the director of the hospital.

You mean Director Lee Heo Jun?

From the Federal Medical Center?

Yes. After he spoke with my wife that day,

and then he called me right after.

Yes.

You need to go check on her now.

I'm getting worried. I keep calling, but she's not picking up.

I'll go up and check right now.

Yes, hello. This is Detective Choi Cheol...

from the Gyeonggi Bukbu Police Agency.

Is Director Lee Heo Jun available?

A meeting?

Then please leave him a message to call me back.

Okay.

(Mr. Shin: Scent Café, Gwangok-dong, Inyeong-si)

Okay, thank you.

Detective Choi.

On the day Yun Dong Hee's psychiatrist fell off the roof,

one million dollars was deposited...

into Yun Dong Hee's overseas account,

But how did you know that?

On October 11, 2009, and again on November 11,

there are records of deposits made to the same account.

October 11th.

(Han Ji Young Fall Case)

(Victim: Han Ji Young)

(Lee Han Jun Traffic Accident)

Darn it.

I knew it.

Someone died in an accident that day.

But it wasn't an accident. That case led me to Yun Dong Hee,

Yun Dong Hee was after...

Every time money is wired to Yun Dong Hee's account,

someone loses their life.

I suppose so.

Mr. Shin.

I'm going to stop it.

I'll catch Yun Dong Hee,

and I'll catch every single person behind him.

Yes, this is Choi Cheol.

I hear you called.

This is Lee Heo Jun, Director of Federal Medical Center.

Hello, Director Lee.

I have a few questions for you. May I come by the hospital now?

I'm actually on my way home right now.

Then I'll just come to your home.

- To my home? - It will only take a moment.

All right, then.

Let's meet briefly in front of my house.

Got it. I'll head over right away. Could you text me the address?

- Okay. - All right, see you soon.

- Making a delivery? - No, this is for my parents.

I'm taking this one to Ye On and my grandma.

- Then what about the last one? - It's for Sun Mi.

It was my idea to give it to her.

Hey, I'm the owner here, and I bought all the ingredients,

so why are you two taking all the credit?

- But we made it! - But we made it!

Si On.

I expect it from him, but how could you...

But you're the one who called me in.

Unbelievable.

I trusted you with my secret recipe so you could run the shop for me,

and you're running it straight into the ground.

We're going to fry it up and eat it.

Make sure you clean the kitchen...

and tidy this place up before you leave.

You're off for the night, right?

- Does it look like I'm coming in? - Have a good night.

Let's clean up quick and go before the fried chicken gets cold.

I'll take care of the kitchen.

What do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do?

- I'll be there in five minutes. - Don't worry. Go home and rest.

Investigations are a two-person job. And I'm your partner,

so from now on, I'll be your backup, sir.

I'm telling you, you really don't have to come.

So what are you planning to ask the hospital director?

He was the last person she spoke to.

I have to know what they talked about.

I just passed the intersection. I'll be there in under ten minutes.

Didn't you just say five minutes?

Hey, I've got another call. I've got to go.

Yes, Director, I'm here.

Yes, I'll be by the streetlight.

So, let's say I were to get colon cancer...

Yes, sorry. I'll have to call you back.

I'm busy right now.

Move!

You son of a witch.

Hey, you! Call 911.

Are you okay? No, don't try to move.

Detective Choi.

Wait...

Open the door, you son of a witch!

Somebody, please help!

Open the darn door, you punk!

Can you hear me?

Open up, you punk!

(Shin's Project)

Why would Yun Dong Hee try to kill the director?

I'm not going to sue him. What good would that even do?

I mean, how would you even do that?

Then who took it?

A boss who takes his workers' pay to go on overseas trips.

He must be incredibly shameless, right?

Darn it. This is...

When Mr. Shin is in danger, you have to stick right by his side.

Stay out of sight, and just lie low.
