WALKING ON THIN ICE

WALKING ON THIN ICE

DRUG USE ISN’T JUST A MERE DEVIATION BUT A SERIOUS CRIME

A SINGLE WRONG CHOICE CAN DESTROY

AN INDIVIDUAL, A FAMILY, AND SOCIETY AS A WHOLE

I wish a bag of cash fell from the sky.

PREVIOUSLY...

Where did this come from?

- ...earned over 200 million won a month. - 200 million?

I can do anything for my family.

No!

We're not losing the house. And you're not dying.

Let's work together.

Let's be partners. You and me.

There are countless dealers, but there's no one safer than him.

100 million in two weeks.

Make it happen, and we'll talk again.

Fine by me.

So, how was your first day?

I said, give me my money!

When I make 200 million, I'm quitting.

How about we keep going?

Yeah, okay.

Someone's dead.

Did you think we'd just earn easy money and live happily ever after?

Don't kid yourself!

You're still a criminal!

James is the bad guy,

and not you, right?

I can't do this anymore.

I suddenly thought to myself.

Comparing now and before all this started...

Which one's worse off?

You're desperate for money, aren't you?

If you're not going to bury me now, let the fuck go of me.

Everything you love

and everything you wish to protect

will all be smashed by me.

Let's erase him.

For good.

EPISODE 11

HANSEL AND GRETEL

Eunsoo.

Ta-da!

Do you like it?

Are we moving

because you lent money to a friend?

When is Mom coming back?

Eunsoo.

You mustn't be poor at heart even without money.

What's a poor heart?

Not sharing, taking others' things, and hurting people.

Then do the landlady, my classmate,

and Daddy's friend all have poor hearts?

I don't like them.

So people with poor hearts are bad?

Yeah, that's right.

So, don't be like them.

Even if someone hurts you,

don't hurt them back. Can you promise?

GRETEL PUSHED THE WITCH WITH FORCE AND SLAMMED THE OVEN DOOR SHUT

Promise.

Huh? What?

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor!

Fortunately, nothing's broken.

Did you tuck-and-roll or something?

How did I end up here?

Someone texted 911.

Thank God. You'd have been dead otherwise.

Our team should go see a shaman.

Why so many misfortunes this year?

So, what got you there alone that night?

A source tipped me off, but I got jumped on the spot.

Oh, a source...

Who was the source?

You don't know him.

You'll have to tell us during questioning.

You even fired your gun.

- Did you get the security footage? - Yes.

But there were barely lights. It was too dark to see.

We got one clip and sent it for analysis.

But nothing useful yet.

DONGBU MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL

- How long have I been here? - Two days.

What?

DRUG CRIMES UNIT

Where's my phone?

We couldn't find it.

And the car?

- Huh? - My car!

Hold on.

Yeah.

Who came?

Hey, what's going on?

It's the man who saved the girl from Hwang Junhyun.

What about him?

He's at the station now.

To make a statement.

GWANGNAM POLICE STATION

​Sir, you can't discharge yourself like this.

Let Eunyoung and me handle it.

Don't take your concussion lightly.

You need to recover a bit more.

- Inspector? - Sir?

Isn't he still recovering?

Whatever. Get to work.

Glad you're safe.

Crazy bastard.

You're dying to go to jail, huh?

- Should I lock you up? - Yes.

I'll turn myself in.

TWO DAYS AGO

Are you okay?

What about you? Are you hurt?

Let's run.

We can't survive here as long as that man's alive.

I still have things to do.

I'm not planning to run forever.

Snap out of it. Is revenge more important than your life?

Yes!

That's right!

Since that day, I haven't felt alive one bit.

Wanna know the truth?

I can't move on because it still haunts me.

I lost everything that was precious to me!

I'm not running.

No, don't!

You came this far to prove you didn't kill.

You can't become a murderer now!

You were about to kill him yourself.

No, I was trying to save you.

Like you said, he's still a cop.

People will find him.

If we let him live,

our families will die.

If that bastard doesn't die,

this will never end.

Damn it.

Just...

Turn yourself in.

You won't leave me alone, and I have nowhere to run.

Might as well confess and lessen my sentence.

Who knows? Maybe they'll show mercy if I confess everything.

Confess everything?

About that night's accident.

Why you were there, and who you were with...

I guess I'll have to start by explaining our relationship.

Where should I begin?

How about when you sent me threat texts?

Or maybe with Hwang Donghyun's death.

Are you threatening me?

I didn't know it would work.

I finally understand how you felt.

I'm seriously liking your face right now too.

I really like the look in your eyes.

I feel a sense of achievement and satisfaction, you know?

I could look at it all day.

Did they know each other before?

Don't flatter yourself.

Who'd believe a criminal like you?

I suppose so.

If it were only my words.

After a long investigation,

I was going to catch you red-handed on the scene.

But you attacked me, and I defended myself.

You look like shit.

If you'd listened, and paid me 200 million every week,

you would've kept your life.

Cleaning this up is a pain for me too.

This will help me get a few believers, don't you think?

You know, when this all surfaces,

you'll have to give up on your son.

Might never see him again.

You may not know, but we know you just as well as you know us.

Turn myself in?

Are you kidding me?

That's basically suicide.

Not always.

You said it yourself.

If you grab someone's weakness, it can become your own.

You think Jang Taegu's any different?

We just have to pretend.

Jang Taegu will never let us turn ourselves in.

You probably know it best.

Who's going to lose the most if I confess everything?

Ready to negotiate now?

- What? - Didn't you hear me?

Drop the Park Sua case.

But...

She said she didn't know.

Besides, the other girl started it.

She'll only get a level-one juvenile ruling.

Don't waste your energy on it.

Then why'd you tell me to tail her?

You said she might be tied to the drug gang, and so...

Don't make me repeat myself. Get out.

What?

I don't know.

I don't know what went on in there,

but I just got ordered to drop the Park Sua case.

Fortunately, you didn't get infected.

But how did you even get hurt like this?

Well, I just fell.

Oh! Hello, there.

I'll return all the Vaka that you retrieved...

...from Kang Hwirim. And we'll call it even.

You're offering me my own stuff?

If it were left in your car, they'd have seized it already.

And you'd be under investigation.

Shouldn't you thank me?

Is this why you saved me?

Life for half the drug. I think that's fair.

Let's end our beef here.

Don't bother us again.

You're lucky to have survived. Hang onto it.

Make sure to clean things up.

I'm sure you'll do great.

How dare you...

KANG HWIRIM (MALE, 29)

DECEMBER 8 TWON HOLDINGS IR - D DAY

It went as we planned.

Sua is in the clear, and we split the drug fifty-fifty.

He can't touch us anymore.

You should've seen Jang Taegu's face.

It felt so good.

Yeah, I wish I'd seen it.

I'll deliver the drug myself.

You hold onto them until then.

When will you be back from Japan?

We made a promise at the start.

I only need 200 million won.

The money we didn't send to Jang Taegu is my cut.

The one billion from Kang Hwirim is yours.

The day after tomorrow is your D-day, right?

GOLD ART GALLERY

Those bastards!

THE SPEED-DELIVERY YOU REQUESTED IS COMPLETE

Mingyo!

We'll see you later, bye.

Oh, um... Daddy fell.

Mom will be here soon.

I just came to give you this. I couldn't last time.

Daddy can give you things like this every day.

And fill your room with them.

Mingyo.

How about not going to the US and living with Daddy?

Come here.

Jang Taegu seemed urgent for cash.

That means he cashed out his bitcoin.

I even checked his relatives' accounts, but found nothing.

Where did all that cash go?

Keep looking. I believe you're different from him.

Phantom appeared five years ago,

and was on our radar for three years.

Did Taegu collude from the start?

At least 50 million per job.

If he took kickbacks for three years, where did all that cash go?

Money...

If I were him, where would I stash it?

Are you really leaving like this?

Even after what Eunsoo did?

If you can't stop, then I'll make you stop.

No!

I told you it'll be over soon.

She hurt you and made you like this.

Aren't you angry at Eunsoo?

Me?

Do I have that right?

And whatever wrong she did,

she's family.

I never abandon family.

What about me?

Are you my family?

Wasn't I until now?

Then how could you do that to Eunsoo?

RYU HYEONGSU HAPPY BANK MANAGER

That's how you took Eunsoo's full-time position.

I kept quiet back then because

if Eunsoo lost her job and her only friend,

I knew my wife would've been devastated.

Do you understand?

I'll take care of my family. You stay out of it.

Stay away from Eunsoo and Sua.

Dojin...

I won't see you out.

It's Eunsoo's fault.

So why abandon me?

Back then, I didn't know.

That the end of my story would become someone else's beginning.

I'm Choi Gyeongdo from Gwangnam Police Station.

Hello.

Inspector Jang downstairs was injured and hospitalized.

Oh, dear.

Can you open the door so I can get his clothes?

Sure, no problem.

And?

Really?

Yeah, got it.

Why? What happened?

You know...

Our team needs to go see a shaman.

We traced the burner phone found in Sgt. Choi's drawer.

Every call was aligned with his location.

It was one of the pieces that confirmed the suspicion about Sgt. Choi.

But at Sgt. Choi's request,

we checked the locations of every other detective at those times.

And one person was always with Sgt. Choi.

It was you, Inspector Jang.

CALL-DETAIL RECORDS

We're on the same team.

Practically partners. Of course, I was with him.

You used the burner phone only when I was around.

So you can pin it on me.

Watch your mouth.

Hey, Choi Gyeongdo.

I pulled you out of the trench and put you in my team.

You're the one who betrayed me.

Betray you?

Hey, calm down.

I really respected you, did you know that?

I thought you were someone worth following.

Do I have to keep listening to this?

I don't think there's anything left for me to explain.

Then what about the 800 million won found at your house?

Investigation and search mean sensing the discord in a space.

That's what you always told me.

So I found it.

In that shabby room, the only new thing was the wallpaper.

You obviously didn't report it as an asset.

How do you explain that?

I can't.

If I had that kind of money, why would I live there?

It's not my money.

- Cut the crap. - More importantly...

Isn't that illegal entry?

The door couldn't have been open.

Did you break a window to get in?

All the evidence you collected is inadmissible.

Maybe in court, but not for the Internal Affairs.

Besides, I went there on Detective Park's orders

to get your stuff for the hospital.

The landlady herself opened the door.

Did you really think everything would go your way?

The world doesn't work like that.

Mr. Jang Taegu.

I'm impressed.

You really took it up a notch.

I did learn from the best.

Jang Taegu has been officially listed as a suspect.

Shit...

The HQ wants him. Transport him there yourself.

Yes, sir.

Just out of curiosity...

Three years ago, when I first caught the Phantom underling,

they found cash in my trunk.

I got suspended because of that.

Was it you?

It was you... Shit.

I didn't even realize.

Hey, you borrowed money from me all happy.

Now you feel wronged?

I wonder if they're on the move.

ACQUIRED

GOLD ART GALLERY HOLDINGS: 0.58%

It's done.

LEE KYUNG

What are you doing? You can't come in!

Who are you people?

What the...

Long time no see.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Damn, seeing your face brings it all back.

Of you and your dad begging me for forgiveness.

You pleaded with me to let you off that one time.

Turns out you and your brother are rats.

It must be a family thing.

0.5%?

You think you can kick me out with just a shareholder proposal?

SHAREHOLDER REGISTER

LEE HYUK GOLD ART GALLERY

Wow, what a dream you have!

Is she with you as well?

Did you steal back the drug?

- I have no idea what you're saying. - Shut up.

Where's your brother?

Last class before the break, huh?

- Mr. Lee, we'll miss you. - Seriously.

BIG BRO

Hold on.

Yeah.

Oh, Madam.

You didn't have to. You should've just come.

It's under fifty thousand won, please take it.

Thank you. By the way,

will Sua not be coming back from Japan?

Your case was all cleared.

Yujeong testified, and the art tutor helped too.

I'm just going to say bye.

This way.

Keep going.

Surprise!

Kang Hwirim?

Long time no see, James.

Or should I call you Lee Kyung?

Did you get taller in juvie? I didn't recognize you.

- You... - Wow, extraordinary.

You have an impressive room.

KANG HWIRIM (MALE, 29)

DECEMBER 8TH TWON HOLDINGS IR - D DAY

Honestly, I'm kind of touched.

I feel loved, you know?

So I want to return the favor.

Hope you like it.

What?

Mr. Lee Kyung. Drug Crimes Unit.

You're under arrest for drug trafficking.

What do you think? Do you like it?

I wish I could've seen your face. Too bad I missed it.

Arrest him.

You lost again, dumbass.

You have the right to remain silent.

- You have the right to an attorney. - Hand me your phone.

Anything you say can be used against you.

ART ROOM

Mr. Lee...

Clean it up.

We'll be arriving any minute.

Be cooperative there,

and pay for your crimes.

Gyeongdo was right.

What?

Things never happen as planned.

Is that the art tutor?

Hey!

What? Huh?

What!

Hey...

I know you're not fully recovered,

but we're really out of time now.

It's Japan, so you'll get there fast.

Deposit this before you head to the airport.

It'll cover treatment and immediate living costs.

I made it untraceable, so don't worry.

What about you?

You're not coming?

I can't.

Because of that tutor?

Oh my God.

Mr. Lee was a drug dealer? For real?

They say Jinhee's mom was his client.

Wow, it's already in the news. This is serious.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ART TUTOR ARRESTED FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING

If I get caught while coming along,

you and Sua may not be able to depart.

Go with Sua first. I'll follow you after I sort things out.

I won't leave you behind.

Honey!

You want me to live off the money you made like this?

I can't. I'd rather die.

How can you say that?

Do you know what I did to keep you alive?

That's exactly why!

Do you think I really wanted...

...to live despite making you turn into this?

Did you really think that?

I hate myself for it, okay?

If only I'd just died on that hospital roof...

No.

No, no. It's not like that.

I did it because I need you.

I couldn't bear the thought

of losing you from my life.

That's why I did it.

We can be a little greedy, right?

I never asked for anything ever.

All I'm asking for is you, Sua, and our house.

Eunsoo.

Let's give it all up and leave.

Don't be ridiculous.

What about your treatment? Where will we live?

We need at least this much money...

We can do without it.

We've managed fine till now.

So let's leave it all behind.

That's the only way it'll end.

Let's give everything up, pay for our sins, and go together.

I'll wait for you.

If people curse us, we'll hear it together.

If they throw stones, we'll take them together.

It'll be hard on Sua,

but if the three of us are together, we'll be okay.

Doctor...

I'm sorry. I did all I could.

What do you mean?

Is Detective Park dead? Is he really dead?

- I'm so sorry. - Maybe there was a mistake.

Please!

You promised we'd catch the culprit together!

Don't break your promise!

Let's go turn ourselves in.

I'll be with you.

Water. Give me water.

Who are you?

Going somewhere?

Who are you?

Honey! Honey!

I'm in a really bad mood.

So just answer me straight, got it?

Is that the money?

Where's the drug?

The drug!

Look, it's in a private safe.

Here's the address and passcode.

Here.

I'm not lying. Everything's there.

But the numbers don't add up.

Unfortunately,

the thing I hate most is unfairness.

Why is Assistant Choi telling me to cover up for her miscounting?

It sucks to be a temporary employee.

No discrimination my ass.

They never even had lunch with us.

You're right.

Guess Assistant Choi doesn't even eat.

- I need to go. - Have some more. You haven't finished.

Enjoy your lunch.

2004 HAPPY BANK FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE RECRUITMENT

Gosh, am I going to fail again?

Is this seat taken?

Ah, no.

You're Eunsoo, right?

EMPLOYEE KANG EUNSOO

Oh, yes.

I'm in HR, so I'm good with names.

Oh, I see.

I've heard only good things about you.

People say you're diligent and hardworking.

Thank you. It's about the only thing I'm good at.

And that's amazing.

Working hard is the most difficult.

Not everyone can do it.

Thank you.

- Over here! - Oh, yeah.

Hello.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I'll introduce you.

This is Section Chief Song.

- And this is Section Chief Kim. - Pleasure to meet you.

And he's Section Chief Yuk.

I've heard a lot about you.

You're very beautiful.
