(Mungyeong Station)

So Min.

Dad.

Mom.

Why do you look so startled?

Let's go, our little princess.

Come on, you still think she's a little girl?

What? She still looks like a little kid to me.

Goodness, you're such a softie.

Let's go, sweetheart.

Where's Dad?

He probably went to get water.

How's everything going these days?

What do you mean?

I mean, acting.

How's that working out?

I'm still building my experience.

You're this age and still gaining experience?

My goodness.

If you were a police officer, you'd be high-ranking by now.

Mom, please.

At this rate, when will you ever land a lead role?

I'm seriously losing my patience.

Hey, look at you.

What are you laughing at?

I'm happy, that's all.

You just asked me for the first time...

about my work.

You think that's funny?

No, I'm not laughing at you. I'm just happy.

My goodness, you're so silly.

(No Mercy)

Mr. Ma, are you on your way? Where are you?

Yes, I'm on my way.

I just passed Seongan Bridge.

I see.

Everything's okay, right?

Sorry? What do you mean?

(Ambulance)

Seongnae Hospital's ER is full.

Call the nearest hospital.

Traffic accident victim, male in his 40s, needs CPR.

The accident happened at 9.50 p.m.

Emergency patient coming through. Clear the way!

What do you think you're doing?

You scared me.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Good thing you're still alive.

Is So Min around?

About that...

we have a problem.

What kind of problem?

It's about those false rumors going around about you.

You don't look that handsome from this angle.

Who called you a handsome detective?

It's a mystery.

Just tell me if So Min's here.

If you want to know, it'll cost you 50 cents.

Enough of this from you. Understood?

Tell me where she is.

Over there.

(Episode 6)

What's so serious?

Do you think he's dead?

We already checked.

Does that worry you?

It feels kind of empty.

It's normal to feel that way.

But...

watch your back from here on out.

They'll come after you.

So, you should stay here for a while.

I don't want to.

It's over now.

So Min.

Your life could be in danger.

I don't care about that.

When I decided to kill Ma Seok Gu,

I put my life on the line too.

You put your life on the line?

You should realize how precious life is.

Be grateful that both your parents are alive.

I don't care.

What's the point of having parents alive?

It's like they don't exist.

My dad uses me for his reputation.

My mom went crazy after being labeled a mistress.

How's that normal?

You think only the easy path is worth taking, right?

No.

Even if it's not a glamorous path, if it's easy for you to walk,

it's a good path.

That's why...

I want you to pick yourself up...

and figure out the right path for you.

I won't let you throw everything away.

Fine.

You mean it?

- You promised. - All right.

Thanks for this. Bye.

Thanks.

For what?

Just... thanks.

(For rent)

(So Min Soup and Rice)

What can I get you?

Two regular sundae soups and one special, please.

You got it.

Two regular, one special. Get the stove going.

Okay.

Goodness, the sides aren't ready. What are you doing?

It's burning.

How long are you peeling that onion? Forever?

It's making my eyes burn and water.

For crying out loud.

Here you go.

Dad, what should I do? My eyes are burning.

Take your time.

Okay, quick question.

- Mr. Ha Hyun Jin? - Yeah?

Why did you marry Ms. Kim Mi Yang?

Hmm.

Because she's pretty.

Come on.

Why?

- So Min. - Yeah?

Do you know how much our soup costs?

What? Eight dollars?

Wrong.

Just one bowl? But there are two of you.

I always bring my grandson here for free food.

I feel bad about it.

It's normal to eat two bowls for two.

Why do you always feel bad about it?

Just a moment.

I bet you're hungry, huh?

Two bowls of soup.

Why are you spacing out?

I told you to peel the onion.

I am.

You're the queen of spacing out.

Here you go.

Be careful.

- So Min. - Yes?

You know that expression.

Tough on the outside.

What's it called? Tough on the outside.

Girl crush?

No, that's not it.

Tough outside, gentle inside.

That's what I love about her.

When you listen to your mom talk,

it sounds harsh, like she's rubbing salt in a wound.

But if you listen closely,

she's actually putting medicine on a cut.

That's the kind of person your mom is.

Stop it. When did you start bragging about your wife so much?

All right.

Here.

(Water bill - Ha Hyun Jin)

The commissioner will be here soon.

(Commendation) (Police Commissioner Park Jae Gyu)

You made it.

It seems you'd even be willing to...

put yourself in danger for that girl.

So I guess...

you'd risk your life for this woman.

Do you think I abandoned you and your mom?

I can't say otherwise.

I know how much you value your reputation.

Jae Gyu?

Back off!

Please don't go.

What about Jeong Hun?

Damn it!

Jeong Hun.

You may resent me now,

but once you grow up and experience the world,

you'll understand why I did this.

Please don't go.

- Let go of me! - Mom.

Mom.

(Police Commissioner Park Jae Gyu)

Looks like you're not satisfied with the position you got...

by abandoning your first wife.

You thought you could control me...

by holding Ha So Min over my head.

Not happening.

I'll catch Ma Seok Gu and lock him up myself.

So just drop it, all right?

I don't want to see how low a man calling himself my dad...

will stoop.

Jeong Hun.

What you see isn't the whole picture.

My one mistake was...

not exposing you to the real world sooner.

If seeing that world is what it takes,

then I'd rather stay blind.

(Damage per victim)

Why are you gathering statements from the phishing victims?

What are you up to?

Jong Chan, stay out of it.

You could get hurt.

Detective Park.

Yes, Chief.

Come with me for a second.

What's going on?

A man went missing near Seongan Bridge last night.

Missing?

I think it's Ma Seok Gu.

Ma Seok Gu?

There was a major accident in that area last night.

The paramedics were ambushed by gang members...

and murdered.

Every security camera in the area was destroyed.

They even took the dashcam footage.

It was all planned out.

And?

According to witness statements, the unidentified patient...

matches the description of the Ilseong clan's leader.

But...

you know what pisses me off?

Our superiors wanted us to cover this up.

I don't know what changed their minds,

but now they're demanding we bring this bastard in.

(Wanted - voice phishing suspect)

Well, well.

It's embarrassing, I'm always the one asking favors from you.

Nonsense.

I was hoping you might reconsider...

what you said last night.

You mean about the campaign funding?

I heard the Democratic People's Party approached you...

and the Korea Freedom Party as well.

Yes, that's how things worked out.

Talented people get noticed everywhere.

So, which party have you chosen?

I need to figure out which option serves you better,

so I'll need a bit more time to think.

That makes two of us.

Sorry?

I haven't decided yet.

I need to think about what's best for me.

On top of that,

one of my people stole from me.

We're doing everything we can to catch Ma Seok Gu.

Just give us a bit more time.

That said,

something tells me...

that my guy was set up by someone.

So even if you find him,

my money will already be gone.

So you're saying...

Bring me...

the real thief.

I'll make sure they learn what happens to anyone...

who steals from me.

Bring them to me,

and I'll go through with the funding I withdrew.

Yes, sir.

- Welcome. - Hi.

I remember you from before.

You came looking for your mom.

Were you able to find her?

Yes, I found her.

Thank goodness.

I've been worried ever since that day.

What kind of flowers do you need?

Are they for your mom?

What's typically used for memorials?

Well...

(Camellias)

I'll take these, the camellias.

By the way,

you know that guy from earlier, right?

What guy?

You don't?

There was a man here right before you...

who also bought camellias for a memorial.

He asked for red ones specifically,

so I figured you two might know each other.

(Love Hall)

I told you, I can't show security footage to just anyone.

Please, just this once.

Someone I don't know visited my parents, and I have no clue who it was.

Probably someone who knew them.

If I could just see the footage, I'd know if they were acquainted.

For crying out loud, you're persistent.

The answer's no. Please go.

Then did you happen to see anyone carrying camellias?

How am I supposed to remember...

Hold on.

Camellias?

Yeah, I do remember.

Usually people bring lilies or hyacinths,

but someone left camellias, which was odd.

Was it a man?

What did he look like? How old was he?

It was a man.

He had sunglasses on, so I couldn't really see his face.

I remember this. He had...

this weird tattoo on his neck.

You mean a tattoo like this?

Like this one?

Yeah, that looks like it.

Thank you.

(I think Ma Seok Gu is still alive.)

(We need to meet.)

The commissioner wants to see you.

I need to ask you something.

Were you behind what happened to Ma Seok Gu?

Of course not.

How would I know where that bastard is?

So you're telling me you had nothing to do with it?

Like I said, it wasn't me.

Are we done here?

Jeong Hun.

Sorry, I've got somewhere to be.

Five minutes. I'm coming.

I can go by myself.

No way, it's too risky.

Are you sure it was Ma Seok Gu?

I'm not sure,

but the tattoo matches exactly.

Tattoo?

You mean...

that weird irezumi tattoo?

That son of a bitch came to our house...

and my parents' restaurant.

What makes you think so?

He left clues,

like going through the mail,

and leaving flowers behind.

I heard something at the station today.

Ma Seok Gu vanished...

while being transported to the hospital.

So he's still alive?

It's possible.

Then why?

He's been lurking around.

He could grab me anytime if he wanted.

It's like he's trying to intimidate me.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

But something feels off. Like he's up to something.

I'm almost there.

You looking for me?

One against many looks cool in movies.

I take that back.

Hold on.

Get him. Move!

Quick, go!

Catch that son of a bitch!

Where are you?

You, check over there.

What's taking him so long?

Park Jeong Hun!

So Min.

Things might look bad, but there's always a way.

Come on, get in.

The spicy one's mine, cheese is yours.

We need to call the cops first.

If we report this as a kidnapping,

they'll find out we're involved with them.

We'll end up behind bars too.

I can't go back to prison.

So what, we just sit here and do nothing?

We'll find him on our own.

We're inseparable.

They're getting further away.

Sir, please speed up.

I'll throw in an extra 50 cents.

(Power off)

(Location)

Oh my gosh.

What the, what happened?

Signal's gone.

I think they noticed something.

What?

Hey.

Hey.

Let me ask you one last time.

Where's the money?

You think money fetches itself...

when you snap your fingers?

(Speaker)

Hello?

Hello?

Losing your parents should've been enough.

Why'd you have to steal from me and make things worse?

Transfer the money you stole from me to a cold wallet.

Drop it in locker two at Gyodong Station by tomorrow night.

If I'm short even one penny,

your friend will end up like your parents.

(Video)

You think the money will just appear...

when you snap your fingers?

Mom!

We should give it back.

What?

The money.

I'm telling you, let's give it back.

Hold on, just calm down.

But his life is on the line, how can I calm down...?

I'm sorry.

I just can't watch more people die.

Even if it's not a glamorous path,

if it's easy for you to walk, it's a good path.

I want you to pick yourself up...

and figure out the right path for you.

I won't let you throw everything away.

Do Jin.

Can you transfer the money...

into that cold wallet thing right now?

You're seriously giving it back?

Even my one and only...

Ms. Kim is abandoning me.

What's the point anymore?

I might as well just die.

Pathetic piece of shit.

What?

Please don't kill me.

I'll pay back everything I owe by tomorrow.

Where in Korea...

could Ma Seok Gu be hiding?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

I swear, I don't know.

Because of that bastard Ma Seok Gu,

my life is completely fucked.

As ruined as mine?

Well, not exactly.

I never meant for that to happen.

I'm sorry.

How about we team up?

What? Team up with you?

You're out of your mind.

Even if I've hit rock bottom,

you think I'd work with someone who used to work under me?

What is it?

(Wanted - voice phishing suspect) (Ma Seok Gu)

There's fifty grand if we pull this off.

We split it.

Only $50,000?

I take sixty, you get forty.

Six.

Four.

Forget it, why would I chase pocket change?

Seventy-thirty.

Seven...

Still not enough.

Ninety-ten. That's my final offer.

Where do I start?

Wait, just listen for a second.

Come on,

you need to know what you're signing up for.

Exactly.

So I'm paying you $1,000 upfront, got it?

Stop overthinking and just do it.

Wait, this is illegal, isn't it?

Forget it then.

Unbelievable.

Listen up.

We're going to be...

being antiheroes.

Anti... what?

What the hell is that?

I use anti-aging products too.

Dumbass.

So it means...

Never mind, Just trust me.

It means you're a villain who does good.

That makes zero sense.

Hey, you don't trust me?

- Get in here. - You're in then?

What's the job?

How should I know?

Wait, you're the Chinese-Korean from earlier.

Wow.

Pretty sweet setup you got here.

Funny how nobody's behind bars.

You've got customer records at your shop, right?

Nope. The cops took everything.

Is that so?

Out of these accounts made with stolen identities...

These ones?

Mr. Lee Seung Tae right here...

begged me, so I couldn't say no.

You were happy enough when I offered money.

Still cost me extra though.

Even the foreigners figured it out quick.

You think they'd hand over their info for free?

Cost me fifty bucks each.

That Kazakh guy, Obolbek?

He pushed to sell, so I helped him out.

Hey, I paid for it. That makes it legal, right?

Whatever.

Give me info on a few more people, including the Kazakh.

Also, for the Ilseong clan,

where do I post a job listing for a collector?

(High-paid part-time job available) (Simple collection work)

Mr. Obolbek?

I'm the one who called yesterday.

Can we talk for a moment?

You'll be managing clients for our company.

When do I start?

Normal hours are nine to six, Monday through Friday.

But we have an urgent job today,

so we need you to start right away.

Okay, I understand. It's urgent.

Understood.

This client declared bankruptcy and has serious problems,

so they can't make bank deposits directly.

It's a large amount, that's why we need you.

Where do you need me?

Head to Gyodong Station.

Once you've picked up the package, head to Seongan Intersection Station.

Seongan Intersection Station?

Hand it off to our guy at Exit 3.

Once you get the package from the client's courier,

look for the waffle cart on Buil-ro 3-gil.

- Head to Buil Community Center. - Sir.

Sir, Buil Community Center, please.

(Location of S14)

Use this phone going forward.

We'll call you.

Wait.

Stop selling your personal information.

Pull over here, please.

Follow that car, please.

You're here?

What happened? Are you okay?

I'm fine.

So Min.

Do you remember what I said?

Everyone seems to have their own right path.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

This is my path.

A guy came before you...

and also bought camellias for memorials.

It was a guy.

He had sunglasses on, so I don't really remember his face.

I remember this. He had...

this weird tattoo on his neck.

Oh my gosh.

What the, what happened?

Signal's gone.

I think they noticed something.

What?

That's enough.

How is it?

Does it seem real?

At this point, maybe the money...

and whoever the chairman thinks stole it...

will reveal themselves.

How long?

All right then.

Good luck.

You son of a bitch!

Damn it.

(No Mercy)

Did you know...

that Park Jeong Hun is working with the Ilseong clan?

You received a video call,

and it was me calling?

Your son's quite something, Commissioner.

You'll pit father against son?

That doesn't make sense.

Any word on the woman who got away?

We've looked all over,

but nothing yet.

Tell me the truth.

You had your own agenda when you joined, didn't you?

I know.

You should be scamming, not getting scammed.

You barely know him.

And you really trust him?

Show me you're trustworthy.

Die!
