(Shin's Project)

(All people, incidents, and backgrounds...)

(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)

(Also, children were filmed under production guidelines.)

When money was wired to Yun Dong Hee, an incident occurred.

I'll be waiting, so please be sure to call me.

A psychiatrist...

jumped to his death from her apartment.

- And who was that doctor? - Yun Dong Hee's personal physician.

Lawyer Cho Pillip!

Mo Sun Mi?

This time...

I really want to help Sun Mi.

Pillip. Your hunch was right.

So go for it. I'll have your back.

I have a favour to ask you.

That's for you to find out now. What danger Mr. Shin is involved in.

Every time money gets deposited into Yun Dong Hee's account,

someone is going to lose their life.

There's something I wanted to ask you.

Move!

I must find him before the police do.

Open the door, you punk!

Mr. Shin.

Before Yun Dong Hee's doctor died, the last person she spoke with...

was the director of the director of Federal Medical Center.

The hospital director?

He's behind Yun Dong Hee's release, or he's the next target.

What's your theory, Detective Choi?

That's why I'm going to meet him in person.

Hey, I got the director's address.

Excuse me.

Can you hear me?

Open the door, you punk!

Open up, you punk!

Vehicle 6645 has now entered the Bukbu Interchange.

Moving into the right lane.

Approaching from behind to intercept.

Team 1 is at the Bukbu Tollgate. Moving in to provide rear support.

Darn it.

Okay.

Hey!

Hey, you there.

Are you okay?

Yun Dong Hee.

(Shin's Project)

(Episode 9)

Sir, try to stay with me. Okay? Sir.

(Paramedics)

(Paramedics)

Abdominal stab wound. There was significant blood loss.

There could also be retroperitoneal damage.

Prep an OR and get him a CT.

- Are you with General Surgery? - No, Neuropsychiatry.

(Operation Room)

Director.

I'm sorry, we lost him.

No, please. I'm the one who should be sorry.

The detective took the knife for me.

We will catch him. I promise.

But about Yun Dong Hee...

How would he have known where you live, Director?

I have no idea how he knew.

- Did he say anything to you? - It all happened...

so fast.

We've arranged for your protection. There are officers waiting outside.

- Thank you. - Of course.

- How is Detective Choi? - He's in surgery right now.

We'll have to see how his recovery goes.

You're Director Lee Heo Jun, right?

Yes, I am.

I have something to ask you.

Why would Yun Dong Hee want you dead with so many witnesses around?

Excuse me, but...

who are you? You don't look like a cop.

Fifteen years ago...

I lost my son to Yun Dong Hee.

I am so sorry.

I take full responsibility for my failure to manage the inmates.

About you and Yun Dong Hee,

how long have you known each other?

We have no personal connection.

It's just that some patients feel anger and resentment.

And they may express that...

in irrational, bizarre, and violent ways.

Can you really call stabbing someone 'bizarre'?

I meant that some patients express their feelings in a distorted way.

- Is that so? - I have a question for you.

Did you know Yun Dong Hee was going to be there?

No. I went because I was curious.

About what?

Detective Choi said...

the last person to speak with Yun Dong Hee's personal physician...

was either the mastermind or his target.

So I went there to find out which it was.

Are you saying you looked into my call history?

No.

I found out by chance.

You think I'm the one behind him?

I find that accusation deeply unfair,

but did you find the answer you were looking for?

I apologise if I was out of line.

Doctor...

The surgery was a success.

The wound is deep, but fortunately, his internal organs weren't damaged.

- Thank you. - It's not life-threatening, right?

Right.

Are you sure?

No money was deposited into Yun Dong Hee's account today?

I told you, there was nothing! Why?

Did another "accident" happen and that caused someone to die?

Yun Dong Hee showed up with a knife himself.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable...

- Are you okay? - Detective Choi.

No, no, don't move.

He's behind Yun Dong Hee's release, or he's the next target.

You think I'm the one behind him?

I find that accusation deeply unfair,

but did you find the answer you were looking for?

(Boss Kim)

Hello.

Yes, sir. I've got the package ready for you.

It's been a while since we've been in touch.

And he hasn't been to work in a long time, either.

Hold on a second.

The number you have dialled is not in service.

He changed his number. Looks like he took off for good.

Doo Dong Seok?

Yes, he changed his number. I was wondering if you have it.

Sorry, I don't.

By the way, is Lawyer Doo's suspension over?

Suspension?

Lawyer Doo's suspension was lifted back in January.

January...

So he hid his suspension and got a job as a legal consultant.

(Chicken Center)

"As independent, equal partners, working hours are flexible...

and are not subject to penalties for absence or tardiness."

We were hit with tons of penalties.

We paid late fees and had our pay cut.

- That's right. - What about this part?

"Maintain dress code and cleanliness."

He made us clean like maniacs, wiping down every single dumbbell,

and he'd lose it if there was even a fingerprint on the mirrors.

And you were penalized for this?

Yes. If we were late, we had to pay an extra late fee.

There it is.

Giving you direct orders about your work hours...

and then penalizing you for not following them...

proves he treated you as employees and gave you orders.

If we sue, a court will likely recognise you as employees.

I see.

They tried to pull a fast one and it backfired on them.

Nice.

But how long will it take?

We should see some results within a year.

A year? We're owed six months' back pay.

I can't wait that long.

I don't have the energy or the luxury to wait.

Hold on. Pillip!

Come on, is there any other way?

Come on, some other article or clause in the law books.

How about this?

Sun Mi.

What are you doing here all alone?

So much for Bali. Look where I ended up.

I haven't had a drink in forever.

So why do you want to go to Bali?

Because it's so suffocating here.

I thought things would get better if I just kept working.

I kept telling myself it'd be okay if I just held on, but...

when I look back, I was just getting pushed around and worn down...

and I had nothing left to show for it.

And before I knew it,

I'd completely forgotten what I really wanted to do.

I know what you mean.

For me too, up until just recently,

what I wanted to do didn't matter at all.

That's why I was so grateful to Lawyer Cho.

Why is that?

He told me that being pushed around isn't something you have to accept.

Getting our staff all their back pay.

Keeping my promise to our members.

And after all that, I'm going to figure out...

what I really want to do.

Get home safe.

Looks like you've got plans.

Yes. I've got a curfew.

- Take care. - Thanks for dinner.

- See you next time. - I'll be in touch.

What is it?

What do you think you're doing?

I know you have no appetite, but please eat.

You lost so much blood. You need to eat to get your strength.

Hey, my blood is boiling right now as it is.

Besides, I got stabbed in the gut, not my hands. I can feed myself.

Stop that.

Still no luck finding Yun Dong Hee's car?

Don't even ask. The Team Leader said it's personal,

so he's out looking for him himself.

But they tracked the traffic CCTVs, right?

They lost the trail at an intersection.

I was in the situation room...

and then I came to bring you your meal.

Why would you be the one to bring my...

Hey! I'll eat on my own,

so you go and give me a status report or something.

I can't do that. Team Leader said until you've eaten,

- I'm to stay by your side. - Go stand there. You're hovering.

Just have a little bit. Please?

Mr. Shin.

Hey, could you step outside for a minute?

Yes, sir.

- How are you feeling? - It's been a wake-up call.

I'm furious I let that jerk get away right in front of me,

and it's humiliating that I got hurt. Darn it.

I'm so sorry.

I feel like I pushed you into it,

and that's why you got hurt, Detective Choi.

No, that's not it at all.

A cop's job is to catch criminals. It's just what we do.

Now I have a personal reason to chase him to the end of the earth.

Detective Choi, I looked into it,

and there were no payments made to Yun Dong Hee this time.

That's weird.

So it wasn't a hit job this time.

He acted on his own?

Detective Choi.

On October 11th and November 11th, 2009,

did something happen?

(Death of Han Ji Young, October 11th, 2009)

Ji Young!

Ji Young...

(Death of Lee Han Jun, November 11th, 2009)

His blood and tox screen were clean. Nothing out of the ordinary.

He was there on the day Han Ji Young died.

Lee Han Jun was at a soup restaurant right before his accident.

If you look here, you see this guy, right?

And...

On the day Han Ji Young died. Look at this.

It's the same guy.

Who is he?

Yun Dong Hee.

Do you...

know who these people are?

I've never seen them before.

Both cases were ruled accidental deaths,

but to me, they're still cold cases.

The same goes for Cha So Yeon's case.

- Are the three of them connected? - I looked into it,

and Cha So Yeon has no connection to the other two.

But I'm certain...

there's something more to it.

(Director Lee Heo Jun)

(Shin Jay)

(Shin Jay, meaning a shoe seller)

(If the shoe-seller comes, I'll buy you a pair)

I figured you might need some tools, so I had my boys bring some over.

Use them as you please.

- Hey. - Yes, Mr. Shin.

Let's say someone gives you about a million bucks...

and asks you to take someone out. What would you do?

A million bucks?

For that much, I'd wipe them off the face of the earth.

Of course, I'm out of the game now,

but for a million bucks, I might reconsider.

So, do you think...

a guy who was paid for killing people...

would do a job like that for free?

But then again, who would do business at a loss?

To be blunt,

Getting involved will cause you trouble...

and ruin your entire business.

In that case, it's usually...

either I wanted to kill him myself, or I messed up. One of the two.

So it is about the money, right?

In capitalism, money can do anything.

For a million bucks? Even more so.

A million bucks...

(Federal Medical Center)

Pull up the medical records and visitation log for Yun Dong Hee.

Just the most recent ones?

No, all of them. From the very beginning.

Yes, of course.

(Federal Medical Center)

(Letter Of Resignation)

(Chicken Center)

Mr. Shin.

Pressing charges?

Hey, I thought you said you weren't going to sue.

I'm not. What good would suing do me?

Even with a fast-tracked trial, it would still take over a year.

- Then what? - I have to get my back pay first.

Right, but how are you going to do that?

By shaking it out of that evil lawyer.

Now you're talking.

Hey, everyone.

- Hey, you're here. - Hi.

What brings you here without calling first?

I did call ahead. I called your assistant.

Here. A gift for you.

(Give And Take)

- This is cool. - I know, right?

- Get me a coffee. - Iced, right?

Okay.

I'm back.

- Back from a delivery? - Yes. You're here.

Perfect timing.

Perfect timing? What's with the perfect timing?

The front page is Charles Hong's arrival time and flight number,

the back has Doo Dong Seok's stuff.

Who's this Charles Hong?

The CEO of PHG.

Until last year, Doo Dong Seok had his salary paid...

to his wife's account,

but starting this January, he switched it to his own account.

He waited for his suspension to end. You're really incredible.

I told you. This stuff is a piece of cake to him.

But why would you help Pillip with this?

What happened to your give-and-take?

This is a give-and-take.

It really is.

I promised I'd get the Bazaar Resident Consent Form signed.

Aren't you two a team?

Doo Dong Seok didn't just deceive his staff.

He deceived Charles Hong, too.

He violated the attorney's code and embezzled and breached trust.

Charles Hong must get the evidence before he meets with Doo Dong Seok.

I'll go to the airport and give Charles Hong the evidence.

You'll be okay on your own?

- Of course. - Then I'll handle Doo Dong Seok.

I'll make sure he can never practice law again.

Si On, your GED exam is coming up. Should you be running around now?

We have to catch a guy this evil. He crushed young people's hopes!

- Good. - That was awesome.

That's our Si On, always on the ball.

- Kim Pro. - Yes?

One second.

(Chicken Center)

What?

The Yun Dong Hee link you mentioned.

- Can you send me a link too? - A link?

You said he gets a coded text every time a deposit is made, right?

I suppose I can send one, but do you think he'll even read it?

It seems like he only checks certain messages.

Just send one for me.

With the same code.

So when he clicks it, my message will pop up.

What do you want it to say?

I'll worry about what it says.

You just create the link for me, all right?

(Chicken Center)

Hey, Boss Kim.

Right now?

Got it.

- Where are you going? - To meet someone.

Boss Kim...

Boss Kim...

He's a construction contractor and used to be a gangster.

What is he giving him?

The machines are gone?

What are you talking about?

Hey, who would steal something that heavy?

I'm telling you, it's true.

You sure they're not just skimming and lying about it?

We dealt with them when we sold the first branch's machines.

I'm telling you, I already went to their warehouse and checked.

Then who took them?

Hey, that's 30 grand we're talking about! 30 grand!

Seriously, why is your second branch always causing problems?

I'm sorry, sir.

Unbelievable.

What is he giving him?

- What's this key for? - Remember when we went to the gym?

You saw the gear's price list, right? And the QR stickers?

That's how I figured it out.

Hey, Boss Kim.

Are your guys still good at flexing their muscles?

Man, don't even get me started.

When my guys bowl, they shatter pins.

When they play ball, they break bats.

All the boys are former athletes.

Boss, we're ready.

All right, get it done.

- Let's go, move it. - Yes, sir.

What is wrong?

We're here for the gear, but it's gone.

Did you sell it to someone else?

The door won't even open. What's he talking about?

I'm telling you, come and see for yourself.

You're the one who took the gym gear?

I got there first and took it.

If I hadn't, the secondhand dealer would've taken it.

If we sell it, for the trainers who came with Mo Sun Mi,

it'll cover their salaries for a few months.

But that's stealing.

No! If I hadn't, Doo Dong Seok would have kept it.

And you think that jerk would've sold it...

and used the money to pay the employees their back wages?

It's your call, Pillip.

You can either give it back to those con artists...

or sell it and pay the staff.

Right. What they're doing is illegal, so...

But it's stolen property.

It's stolen property.

But if I sell it, I could pay some wages, right?

But am I even allowed to sell it?

It's stolen property. But I could pay off the wages.

But that would make me a criminal too.

I don't know!

I don't know!

And you think that jerk would've sold it...

and used the money to pay the employees their back wages?

It's your call, Pillip.

You can either give it back to those con artists...

or sell it and pay the staff.

Hello, is this the place that buys used gym equipment?

(Welcome, CEO Charles Hong)

- Si On. - I'm startled.

Mr, Shin.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see what this Charles Hong guy looks like.

A boss taking vacations abroad with his employees' wages...

must have some serious nerve, don't you think?

- You were worried, weren't you? - No.

Of all of us, you're the one I worry about the least.

I was a little intimidated, but I'm glad you're here now.

The airport is so much bigger than I expected.

And there are tons of people.

They can't all be here to catch a flight, right?

We're not here to catch a flight either.

Si On. We should come back to fly next time...

with Ye On.

I'd love that.

- Oh! - What?

There he is.

(Welcome, CEO Charles Hong)

Dong Seok sent you, I take it?

You're CEO Charles Hong, right?

Yes, I am.

I'm Charles Hong.

Seriously...

And you are?

Is this the pushover Doo Dong Seok was talking about?

Pushover?

Not a pushover. Then what was it? A figurehead?

- What? - Your so-called legal adviser...

breaks the law, committing fraud, embezzlement, and breach of trust.

Did you know about that?

Who are you accusing of these crimes?

He is definitely a pushover.

Manager Lee.

- Yes, sir. - You brought the documents, right?

Of course.

You think you're getting these for free?

- So, what do you want from me? - Let's have a word.

So...

What exactly did Dong Seok skim off the top?

It says right here. Acted as an unlicensed legal advisor,

siphoned off money for unpaid wages, and skimmed the holiday bonuses.

And when he sold the gym equipment, he skimmed a commission off the top.

You're making a big deal out of chump change.

What a pushover.

You'll be flooded with lawsuits for embezzlement and whatnot.

Yes, right. You can go to jail over a few bucks.

And pay your debt by doing time.

Jail? You mean actual jail?

Why me?

If you do the crime, you do the time.

You totally lied to your employees about the Bali Branch.

What Bali Branch?

You strung them along, saying they'd be the manager of the Bali Branch!

Don't talk to me so casually.

- That son of a... - Look, there is no Bali Branch,

so how could they be the manager?

Dong Seok just said Bali was great, so I went there on vacation.

Look at this sucker. Just look at him.

Dong Seok really screwed you over.

And Doo Dong Seok also bought a 3 million dollar house in Gangnam.

- All in cash. - Three million dollars?

- Yes. - Three million dollars?

You didn't even know that?

You're the king of all suckers.

Do you know where Doo Dong Seok is right now?

Come on.

Hey! You...

What are you doing here?

- Going on a trip? - What? Why are you here?

Why do you think? I'm here to permanently disbar you.

Permanently disbarred? Don't give me that crap.

Hey, are you trying to threaten me?

You can't touch me legally.

That Mo Sun Mi girl? I gave her money.

And just in case, I even got her to sign a receipt.

Yes. You gave her one month's pay and called it the full amount.

And used legalese to pass it off as full payment?

You...

seem to think you're pretty clever.

So, where should I start?

- What? - How about unlicensed practice?

Violating labour laws?

Or how about embezzling company funds behind the CEO's back?

Come on...

Get in the car. Let's talk in there.

No way! Why would I get in a criminal's car?

Criminal? There's no criminal...

- Isn't that Mr. Doo, the lawyer? - Yes, that's him.

Yes, hello. Please, go on in. Yes.

- What do you think you're doing? - Help! A lawyer's kidnapping me!

- Who? Who's kidnapping someone? - Sir.

- Yes? - Should we call the police?

No, no, it's all right. Please, just go on inside. Go on.

My friend here just has a really loud voice.

Why are you doing this to me?

Unbelievable.

Hey.

You can't use this in court anyway. It's inadmissible.

And what? Embezzlement?

Charles is the one who authorized that.

You don't even know what you're talking about!

Who said anything about using it in court?

This kind of thing is usually used for...

Whistleblowing, sowing discord, public humiliation.

In a word, complete social ruin.

Pillip, why are you doing this to me?

First, sign here, and pay the employees their back pay.

Do that, and maybe I'll cut you some slack.

- But if you don't... - So what if I don't? What then?

- Jenny. - Daddy!

Oh, there's my girl. Oh, my goodness.

- You have fun at preschool today? - Yes.

- Aren't you a cutie? - So you must be Jenny.

Hey, you big sucker.

If it were me, first thing I'd do is chop off his hand.

That's the hand he used to steal your identity...

and forged all kinds of documents.

Are you threatening me?

A threat is what might happen. I'm telling you what will happen.

You want me to tell you what happens next?

Keep going. This is getting interesting.

Your cards will be cancelled, accounts frozen, and charges filed.

I'll post in your building group chat.

"The Scumbag Lawyer in Unit 1103."

Your kid at preschool...

and your wife will be the talk of the town.

She might even ask for a divorce.

There's nothing to even think about, man.

Either you go down with Dong Seok,

or you crawl your way out of this mess alone.

Or you can just sign.

I'll give you three minutes.

(Three Minutes)

You're running out of time.

- Two minutes, 30 seconds. - Oh, come on.

Daddy's sorry.

Excuse me...

I'm here to turn myself in.

(Police)

I'm here to turn myself in.

The other instructors got paid too. Thank you so much.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

This is so great.

So the store manager and that lawyer will be punished, right?

The sentence for withholding wages is pretty light.

He paid it all back and surrendered, so they'll probably go easy on him.

But wait,

But we just barely got the money we were owed.

And on top of that, we lost our jobs.

Then why do they get off so easy?

That's just how the law works.

That's what Doo Dong Seok was counting on.

That's why I had to get a little creative.

It takes a legal thug to catch an evil lawyer,

and that's me.

The wages you all just received...

I squeezed them out of Doo Dong Seok himself.

Really?

Thank you.

- You're exactly what you described. - Thank you.

They're quite similar.

Officer, as you can see,

all of this was all Charles Hong's plan. I just...

What do you mean I did it all, you jerk!

- Get out here! - Hey...

Hey! You spent my 3 million dollars on a house,

and now you're trying to pin it all on me?

- You jerk! - Grab him! Grab him!

- Let me go! - Sir, please calm down.

- Stop it, sir. - Let go!

Get over here. Get over here, you jerk.

Wait, hold on! What's this?

- No, don't do it. - What is this?

Don't! Stop it! Please, don't. Anything but this...

You!

Is your life all about lies and getting high, you jerk?

You punk!

Hey! I've had enough of this too!

Mister!

I've filed for fraud and embezzlement against him.

The evidence and the complaint are in that yellow envelope.

Evidence? Hey, what kind of evidence? You filed a complaint?

You think I wrote it myself, you idiot?

Someone much smarter than you wrote it. You darn con artist!

You darn junkie!

- You thug, Cho Pillip! - You're the thug, you jerk!

And I'm submitting this as evidence too.

He must have bought this with my money. This jerk.

Look at him. He just can't quit.

I've never seen a jerk like this. Just working out.

(Labour Without Discrimination, Starting Now)

My goodness.

I'll help you bring it down, so you just need to finish the lift.

Wait, you'll help me? Shouldn't I be doing it myself?

And exhale.

All right, good.

Four.

With all you trainers here, it feels just like being at the gym.

I was upset that the gym closed,

but I prefer working out outside now.

I'm so grateful to you all for your trust and patience.

So, what are we signing for?

It's to protect employee rights and contracted labourers...

Hate working and not getting paid? This is a law to stop that.

Because the powerless have no one to help them when they're cheated.

It's to make sure people get paid for the work they do.

That's wonderful. We absolutely need a law like this.

Come on, let's sign.

- Here you go. - So Yeong!

- Am I cool? - Come sign this.

Yes, of course.

- Look at this crowd. Hello. - Hey, you made it.

Hey, Si On.

Hello. the lady is here too.

Hey, thanks for all your hard work.

- So this is Mangheon City Park Gym? - You're here.

Hello.

I noticed during your trial that your core is incredibly weak.

Who, me?

He must be the one.

Obviously, it's you. How strong can your tiny waist be?

I seem to recall you two being pretty similar.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm not even married yet.

That's my point. An unmarried man with a weak core?

Why'd you hit me? I'm telling you, it's still in mint condition.

Mint condition? Yes, right.

Come on over here.

Let's focus on the core exercises today.

You've got a real knack for escalating things.

The citizens enjoy free training,

and the trainers get protected. It's a win-win.

- I heard you sold the equipment. - They first offered 30,000 dollars,

but I sold it for 32,000 dollars.

Didn't you just say it was stolen? I thought you didn't deal with that.

It wasn't illegal. I got the ownership papers first.

Same difference.

And you "legally" blackmailed him into signing those papers.

Blackmail?

It's a negotiation technique for steering their choice.

Without forcing their hand,

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

How did you figure that out?

It's not just a basic tactic, it's an advanced one.

- See? I was right, wasn't I? - What?

I'm telling you, he's a carbon copy of you.

He's just as smug about it, too.

"I guess you haven't heard of me. I'm Cho Philip".

Oh, really? Is that what he said?

Anyone who hasn't signed yet?

They're workers in name only. They do the work of an employee,

- but receive none of the benefits. - Hello.

Freelancers, gig workers, - Please take a look and sign this.

And other independent contractors. Lee Seung Eun has the story.

Oh! There it is. It's on.

The gym trainers who recently had their wages withheld...

have been helping people with their workouts...

to protect the rights and interests of workers and service providers...

while petitioning for a revised ordinance.

(Proposed Ordinance for Maheon Workers and Service Providers)

This ordinance covers freelancers and gig workers...

What right do you have to speak for the citizens at City Hall?

I went to meet Councilman Kwon. Of course I had to be the one to go.

Would Kwon Bong Geun have been elected if it weren't for me?

He represents the city, and I represent the citizens.

Look.

- You actually changed the law? - Not that I couldn't do it too.

- That's actually pretty cool. - And you're really photogenic.

Whatever.

See if someone's waiting downstairs.

What's going on?

Ji Woo's phone is off.

This has never happened before.

What about her dorm? Have you contacted her friends?

I can't reach her best friend, and she's not at her dorm.

It's the middle of the day, so she should be in class, but...

her exams ended last week,

and she said she was taking this week off.

I'm so sorry.

- I'm sorry to bother you again... - No, no. You did the right thing.

I'm glad Manager Bae called me.

How long has Ji Woo's phone been off?

I first tried calling five hours ago. We spoke last night before bed,

so I think it's been off since this morning.

Has this ever happened before?

No.

She's missed my calls before, but...

Ji Woo?

What happened?

Is something wrong?

Mom, I'm sorry. I forgot to charge my phone,

and didn't even realise it had died.

Kim Ji Woo.

Do you have any idea how worried I was?

I was out with Estelle. Her phone was dead too, so we couldn't.

You two are unbelievable. I'll call you back later. Bye.

- I'm so sorry. - Don't be. I'm glad she's okay.

What are you doing here?

What I do here is none of your business.

What do you mean, it's none of our business?

- You've spied on me. - I wasn't spying on you.

- Come with me. - Get off me, you jerk!

You're making a scene. Manager Bae, give our friend here a little shot.

- A shot? What kind of shot? - One that'll shut you up.

My friend here is very good with needles.

Want a strong one?

I'm going to kill that jerk today and then turn myself in.

The feeling's mutual.

Hey, once I find my item, I'll not come back here.

Your item?

Excuse me. I'm so sorry.

Something urgent has come up, so I'm afraid I have to close.

What's in this?

What's it to you? What are you going to do?

This is my meal ticket.

Kim Yong Woo. How could you harm your kid's doll?

- She almost died because of that! - Did she?

But she didn't!

You said this guy saved her. All I need is my item, and I'm done.

How much is this worth?

A few hundred grand?

That money. Who's paying you?

- So what if they are? - I'm asking who you have dirt on.

You're sharp. How'd you figure out it was blackmail?

Let's keep this simple.

Once I find my item, I'll not come back here.

You really think that item is still here?

- What? - Lay low and stay out of sight.

If I catch you hanging around, I'll hand you right over to them.

Do you even know who "they" are to be making threats?

I'll handle that my way.

How about a shot before you go?

Manager Bae.

Seriously... Back off.

He can barely take care of himself, and he's meddling.

This isn't his first time, is it?

Actually, he was here not too long ago.

Ever since that man showed up,

I've been worried about Ji Woo.

So I've been a little on edge.

Thank you.

Of course.

Everyone's speaking Korean!

Are you sure you don't want to tell your mom?

I'm going to surprise her after the concert later.

Let's hurry and get some tteokbokki. Then the merch store.

- The birthday cafe for the guys! - Totally!

- Is that the bus stop over there? - Yes.

Let's go!

The Bazaar Resident Consent Form. I need it by next week.

- I'll get it done, no matter what. - And one more thing.

Hey, I thought this was a one-for-one deal.

Hey now. You think an assistant's on my level?

What is it?

From now on, I want you to stick to Mr. Shin's side.

I'm already on it.

Do an even better job. When Mr. Shin is in danger,

make sure you're right there with him.

This is about Yun Dong Hee, isn't it?

How would you know about that?

I can put two and two together.

A friend of mine from the Police University told me.

And I saw the case file.

The man who killed Jun has escaped,

so Mr. Shin isn't just going to sit back and do nothing.

You're smarter than I thought.

That's a relief.

What, you thought I was an idiot?

No, it's just...

I had my doubts.

(Hujin Arcade)

Once I find my item, I'll not come back here.

Shut up. Bring me the item Kim Yong Woo stole.

- How much is this worth? - A few hundred grand?

Every time money enters his account, someone is going to die.

Before Yun Dong Hee's doctor died, the last person she spoke with...

was the director of the director of Federal Medical Center.

Did you know Yun Dong Hee was going to be there?

He's behind Yun Dong Hee's release, or he's the next target.

I'm telling you, it wasn't me!

I'm telling you I didn't do it!

Mom...

Why did it have to happen?

Why did it have to be the same day?

Mr. Shin, where are you going?

- A delivery. - Where to?

If President Sin's in any danger,

you stick right by his side.

I'll wait ten minutes. If he doesn't come down, I'm going up.

Lee Heo Jun, a leading candidate...

for Health Minister, has resigned as director of the FMC.

While taking full responsibility for the recent inmate escape,

he also blasted the staff shortages at the Federal Medical Center.

A few days ago, I lost a cherished student...

and a brilliant colleague.

He alone cared for over a hundred forensic patients.

And though he was suffering from overwork and stress,

he never once let his patients see how much he was struggling.

The working conditions at our hospital...

and this incident...

- Hey, you made it. - Hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all. Getting stabbed didn't kill me,

but I was dying of boredom these past few days.

Just kidding.

You saved my life,

and I haven't even had the chance to thank you properly.

Thank you.

Please. Don't mention it.

I heard you were investigating...

Yun Dong Hee for a long time.

I have. Thanks to him,

I've practically rewritten the book on police disciplinary actions.

And I hear you visited our hospital...

- several times. - Yes.

Every time I went,

your staff was never very cooperative.

I figured this is...

what you really came for.

It's a copy of Yun Dong Hee's medical records.

It's not much,

but it's all I can do to help.

(Forensic Patient Medical Record)

(Yun Dong Hee Admitted: Sep. 20, 2010)

(Dept: Psych. Sex: M, Age: 40, Dr: Cha So Yeon)

So the director has pull after all.

I guess it's my turn...

to rewrite the book on disciplinary action.

- I'm kidding. - Hey, that's a sore subject for me.

Not funny at all.

- This is so good. - I know.

Hey, dig in. I call dibs on the spicy drumstick.

The original is good too.

The person who brought this chicken, did you see which way hey went?

I'm not sure which way he went,

- but he just left. - Thank you.

(Ward 21)

You asked me if I knew Yun Dong Hee, didn't you?

And you said you didn't.

I was reviewing the inmate's file, and it turns out...

we did have a connection in the past.

About twenty years ago, at a juvenile detention center,

I volunteered as a medical counsellor. Back then,

I had a session with a young Yun Dong Hee.

I wasn't intentionally withholding that information.

Honestly,

he was just one of many patients to me,

and he didn't really leave a lasting impression.

So I didn't remember him.

Is that so?

And I also confirmed...

that you visit Yun Dong Hee...

on the anniversary of your child's death.

Frankly, a case like this is quite unusual,

so I was wondering what your motivation might be,

if you don't mind me asking?

How could I possibly explain something like that?

I suppose not.

A parent's feelings after losing a child...

are more than just simple sadness.

A sense of loss.

Sometimes, guilt.

A sense of responsibility.

And anger all get intertwined,

creating a very complex...

grieving process.

I believe your repeated visits to the assailant...

stem from one of those emotions.

Then...

What do you think my reason is?

Atonement...

for your late child.

And...

solace...

for yourself?

If by any chance,

you ever need someone to talk to,

please feel free to reach out.

(Federal Medical Center, Lee Heo Jun)

Let me know when you have the money.

(Cash Cow)

(Let me know when you have the money.)

(The evidence?)

These guys are completely nuts.

(Shin's Project)

About what happened to you,

I know all about it. And I want to help.

People could die. You might have to kill someone.

It depends on the kind of revenge you're talking about.

Their link might go back further than you think.

- Pluto didn't open up? - They have to go to Andong.

- Who let you come back to Korea? - Ji Woo!

You want me to kill...

this man?

I'm going to put an end to this now.
