WOOK'S GUKBAP

Did you know that Edward has a puppy?

Aren't you dying to find out where Edward is now?

Edward.

Yoon-kyung…

WOOK'S GUKBAP

What about your friend?

Poong-yeon.

-Yes? -Drive.

Okay.

BEWARE OF DOG

Yoon-kyung.

I'm sorry that you couldn't find your friend.

We'll meet someday if we are meant to.

DIRTY DETECTIVE LEE MIN-KYU

It's me. I have a question.

What is it this time?

It's a simple question about the past.

The murder of a couple who ran a gukbap place.

EPISODE 11

Fine, let's join hands.

You've made the right decision.

I guess the Korean police aren't completely hopeless.

But first, I have a question.

Who was that motorcycle guy?

I mean the accomplice who helped you escape.

Was it Lee Jeong-hwan?

Wasn't that him?

Who?

That's nonsense.

Why do you keep bringing up my dead husband? You're hurting me.

Put your instincts aside and investigate the case using reason.

Then, who was he?

Why would you…

Why do I have to answer that?

Okay. Then, I'll look into it myself.

He's my friend.

He's a new friend I made.

We became friends when I was reading a book at a library.

Please understand that I cannot disclose his identity to you.

All right.

Please keep one thing in mind.

If Lee Jeong-hwan's really alive, I can charge you for fraud.

And try not to forget

that I'm still a cop.

So the whole thing about the industrial spy

was to bring down Assemblyman Kwon?

Was it all a setup

to destroy Mr. Kwon?

So GK can make Yoo Byung-jun the king?

Just set up a meeting with Assemblyman Kwon for me.

I will explain everything to him.

Okay. I will set it up.

But before I do that,

let me use the restroom.

I've been holding it for a while now. But I can't hold it anymore.

Come on, it's urgent.

That con artist.

ENTER PASSCODE

Gosh, Mi-young.

Hey! What was that?

Hey, you! Give it back, you asshole!

Hey! Stop that!

Damn it. What are you doing? What do you think you're doing?

Hey, don't do that.

What are you doing?

Stop it, you bastard! Let go of me first!

Hey. What do you think you are doing?

Stop it!

KWON HYUK-JANG

-Take one from this angle. -Okay.

Hold on.

PARK CHUNG-SEOP

Ms. Eun, let's call it a day here.

Mr. Kwon, just one last photo.

I WILL CALL YOU LATER

Ma'am.

Put some on this side too.

KWON HYUK-JANG REACHES NUMBER ONE IN THE POLLS

KWON HYUK-JANG MANIA SWEEPS THE NATION

CLOTHES WORN AND BOOKS READ BY THE CANDIDATE BECOME SOLD OUT

I'LL FORM A CONSERVATIVE PARTY PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF

Everyone!

Our candidate has overtaken the opposing candidate by 2.1 percent!

-Kwon Hyuk-jang! -Kwon Hyuk-jang!

-Kwon Hyuk-jang! -Kwon Hyuk-jang!

Please?

Hey, buddy. Sir?

Can't you let me go first?

Come on, just let go of me. Let's be civil about it.

Don't hang up and just listen. It's about Assemblyman Yoo Byung-jun.

-Who is this? -This is Lee Jeong-hwan

from GK Innovative Vision Room.

Sir, I'm sorry, but I only have 10,000 won.

Don't you have a card?

What do I do?

I'll withdraw some money at the convenience store. Could you wait?

Young lady, you just wait. I'm going to call the police.

Goodness. I can't catch a break!

Young lady! Damn it.

It's not a crime to fall in love.

Yes, it is.

Mi-jeong. I miss you, Mi-jeong.

Joo-eun.

I was hungry, so I ate first.

What do you want to eat, Joo-eun?

I did buy a lot of stuff.

Cup noodles.

Gimbap.

I bought a variety of food.

Are you not hungry, Joo-eun?

I want to go to a crowded place.

So I can show you off.

Joo-eun.

Did something happen?

You must tell me for me to know.

I just don't like this.

I just keep getting angry.

I was told that you being alive

can be considered a fraud.

And I even received the death benefit.

With that money,

I bought a car,

paid off the debt,

and had meat.

I've been living off the price of your life.

Our wedding,

our apartment,

our family plans…

Everything is over now.

We can't go back.

What do we do?

What are we going to do?

It's not over yet.

Okay?

It's not over.

It's going to be okay.

We can go back to our lives.

It's within the error range, but we can't seem to narrow the gap.

You know what I mean, right?

We don't have much time left.

How's it going with Cha Joo-eun?

I'll prepare the news about her.

Then,

can I relax and watch the news at home tomorrow?

Breaking news.

-Please look forward to it. -Breaking news…

That's a good way to draw attention.

-Okay. -All right, then.

A lone wolf.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

And the industrial technology team? Have they made a move yet?

Shouldn't we report them to the police?

He says he doesn't know anything about them.

We're living in the 21st century. This is nonsense.

God! Forget it. It's embarrassing to call the police.

That's not Park Tae-joo's style.

What's he saying?

Goodness, it's nice to see you again.

Park Tae-joo. Get up.

Stand up straight, loan shark.

I'm a finance specialist.

Take everything out of your pockets. Now.

I don't have a pocket.

What's this?

This is Cha Joo-eun's, right?

What?

-What? -What?

I let you appreciate how beautiful the world is.

Now it's time you repay me.

You've been in contact

with Cha Joo-eun using that phone.

I already saved the call history, so don't worry.

Got it?

I don't even know who Cha Joo-eun is,

so how can I say that we've been in contact?

Jeez.

Why are you acting so innocent like you're a model citizen?

Whether you know her or not isn't important, you bastard.

A NEW MESSAGE

The pawn is in place. Prepare the news, sir.

-Let's get it started. -Yes, sir.

JEONG DAE-SANG

PRESS ROOM

INDUSTRIAL SPY INVESTIGATION OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE

What? Did he get tangled up with an industrial spy?

Kwon Hyuk-jang is finished.

It was odd that a small company had obtained patented technology

ahead of a conglomerate.

That must have been when it all started.

Isn't it almost time?

DEPUTY CHIEF SEO MAN-HO

Yes, Mr. Seo.

Now?

Yes, everything's set up here.

Yes, sir. Salute.

What?

I was just wondering why you answered the call so secretly.

Was it your girlfriend?

How dare you eavesdrop on a police phone call.

It's over, punk.

He'll be here soon,

so stop frowning and just take the punishment.

Who's going to be here?

Who do you think? Cha Joo-eun's accomplice.

What?

Are you here to turn yourself in?

3 HOURS AGO

Go in.

He'll turn himself in after an hour.

What will you do?

Hey, haven't you ever been to a police station?

Put some half-eaten cup noodles here.

What's wrong with this document? Didn't I tell you it has to be

as thick as an encyclopedia to intimidate the bad guys?

When it's thick, it shows that you worked hard on investigating me

to the point of finding out about

a friend of a friend, and even about my first love.

Like you investigated everything about me.

Make them believe you know everything.

Look.

Look at his vintage outfit.

Anyone will think that he's a chief investigator.

Do you get it?

-Do you? -Yes, ma'am.

What do you think?

Do I look good?

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

JEONG DA-SOM SUPREME PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

What are you doing? This is the police agency.

So?

You're posing as a civil servant.

So what?

It's a crime.

Just turn a blind eye then. Are we good now?

How can I turn a blind eye?

Don't you know why I'm doing this?

It's because of the police.

If the police didn't fabricate the case,

I wouldn't have to make this sacrifice.

Don't you agree?

Whatever the reason, this is wrong.

You can't do this.

You're so frustrating.

Listen carefully, Lieutenant Kim Myung-hyun.

I'm not doing this just for me.

I'm a bait

to catch President Park of One Line.

Because President Park

is Assemblyman Kwon Hyuk-jang's new head sponsor.

What do you mean?

Don't you get it?

GK planned this to make Kwon Hyuk-jang fall.

Why?

Because GK chose Yoo Byung-jun.

This is

a game of kingmaker.

Are you here to turn yourself in?

To confess about the industrial technology leakage, right?

Salute!

-Let's go. -Where are we going?

This case is confidential, so a special department has been set up.

Hey! Excuse me.

Hey!

What are you guys doing? Get out of the way.

Jeez.

Move it.

-What the hell are you doing here? -Salute.

The violent crimes team lost the evidence. It was a contact lens.

So we're conducting a search operation.

The violent crimes team lost a contact lens?

-Yes. -A lens for your eyes?

You stupid punk. I'll talk to you later.

Get out of the way!

-Make way! -Sorry, sir.

-Okay. Stop. -Excuse me, sir.

-Jeez. -Move!

PRESS MATERIAL

-Salute. -Salute.

Can I check the footage for the hallway?

Well, an error occurred 30 minutes ago.

-It hasn't been recording at all. -What?

SECURITY ROOM RESTRICTED AREA

-Myung-hyun. -Yes?

What are you doing here?

-Well, I… -What will you do with that bug?

That's evidence of a crime.

You know that it can't leave the room.

If that stays here,

I'll pretend that I was never in this room.

But you're already in here.

I don't want to make excuses or lie. I won't.

Let's

just do what we think is right.

I'll go my way. You go yours.

Myung-hyun.

I'm sorry.

CHIEF JEONG DAE-SANG

Did you give orders to the conscripted policemen?

Yes.

I heard that spectacle news

from An Se-jin of the industrial technology team.

-Did you? -It looks like

you're giving An Se-jin a hard time on purpose.

I'm not.

What is it? Why are you doing that?

I found the contact lens.

It contains the fingerprint

and the DNA of a murder suspect, which were collected at the scene.

I accidentally dropped it on the stairs, but fortunately,

I found them before it was contaminated.

Have you been working on a Violent Crimes case?

I told you not to be distracted.

I wanted you to thoroughly investigate the Gyeonggi highway accident,

so I sent you to the Traffic Division.

It's obvious

that you're ignoring my generosity, right?

Captain Lee Min-kyu has been asking me for help.

I'm sorry.

From now on, I'll say no to him at once. I'm serious.

Yes?

Hey. Come in.

You have the video, right?

What is it?

Well, the surveillance camera is old, so it hasn't been recording

for the past few hours.

What?

It's a total disaster.

This is a police agency, not a supermarket.

Come in!

Okay. You can leave.

Hey, Captain Lee.

Don't you dare lie to me.

What's with the contacts?

Well, I asked Detective Kim for help with the case

because he has a great hunch.

I'll leave you now.

Have some snacks too.

But that goes well with soju. I'm drinking beer.

Didn't you say it goes well with both?

Did I?

-Thanks for the snack. -Where's mine?

You're so clueless.

What?

I didn't say anything.

Do you want something to eat?

Yes, a big chocolate milk.

It doesn't smell like a police car.

Hey. Excuse me.

Are you guys trying to trick me?

Jeez. Fine.

KIM JUN-BEOM POLICE AGENCY

Jin Gounam didn't show up.

The Chinese spy didn't turn himself in.

I'm sorry.

The announcement of the industrial spy investigation results

has been delayed due to problems in the investigation process.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Where did it go wrong?

There's not enough evidence with just Yoo Mi-young and the USB.

We can't send Cha Joo-eun to China!

If we can't send her to China,

we can't get Kwon Hyuk-jang.

Understood?

Focus.

Name.

Jin Gounam.

Jin Gounam.

So these dozens of phone calls

were with Cha Joo-eun?

Well…

I guess so.

Answer properly, you bastard.

Stop mumbling like a baby!

Listen carefully, Mr. Jin Gounam.

We're doing this to help you.

Tell me the truth.

You're a hired actor, right?

You're acting right now,

aren't you?

Let's live righteously

and create a world without lies.

I have absolutely no idea.

I mean, this all happened so fast, out of the blue.

Was it him?

Take a good look.

This asshole

is a serial killer.

Do you know how many people he's killed?

Ten.

You're right.

Yes. That bastard put me up to this.

Get on a ship and leave this instant.

If you don't, the serial killer might really kill you.

-Answer her. -Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am. I'll keep that in mind.

Kim Myung-hyun, that bastard. I can't seem to control him.

Did I choose the wrong chess piece?

By the way, where the hell did that Chinese spy disappear to?

Damn it.

Peel and mince them.

Gosh, this is too much.

Come on, this is way too much.

The rice soup isn't free.

Right. It isn't.

Of course, I should do this.

Is there more?

Yes, a lot.

Actually, never mind. This is more than enough.

They'll rot if we prepare too many at once.

Mr. Woo.

Did you catch him?

Our pursuit team looked through all the CCTV footage

but failed to locate him.

I don't think he escaped through an official route.

Then what could it be?

I believe he's stowing away on a ship.

Understand?

What do you think about my outstanding inference?

Look, Mr. Woo.

Have you ever stowed away on a ship?

Why would I do such a thing?

It's not as simple as purchasing an amusement park ticket.

It's not something you can do on short notice.

And one more thing.

These days, it's easier to make a fake passport than to find a stowaway.

So get comfy in your chair and keep searching for him.

Even if you spot a fly, don't get distracted.

If he gets away,

I'll make sure to look into whose fault this is.

What the hell is he saying?

Does he think he can intimidate me?

Is he in a sauna or something? Why was there so much echo?

-Get in line. -Okay.

Aren't you with the police? Do I really need to go this far?

I told you. This case is confidential.

And please stop talking.

Korea is a great country.

Do you speak Chinese?

Impressive.

Yes, sir.

I'll send you the locations from the nearest to the farthest.

Check them in that order.

Yes, sir.

Step on it.

Yes?

They're here. You better hurry.

Got it.

You four, go that way. Let's go.

I'll give you this money. Swap places with me.

-Sure. -Thank you.

No problem.

Over there. And you come with me.

Where is he?

-Did you find him? -No, sir.

Get them!

If you keep failing like this,

what am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry, sir.

Do you want to lose your job?

I saw him get on the ship.

Well done.

By the way,

how did you know that this was Kim Jae-wook's scheme?

Because he taught me this a long time ago.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Nothing happened. Really.

I'm fine.

I'm relieved.

I'll see you soon then.

Okay.

GK Technology Innovative Vision Room?

I thought it was disbanded.

I believe you called me over because you knew it wasn't.

It seems

you deliberately approached Mr. Park.

What do you say?

May I hear your excuse?

GK chose Yoo Byung-jun?

Yes, Assemblyman Kwon.

I mean, Director Kwon.

In order to bring down Mr. Park, your head sponsor,

they executed the industrial spy scheme.

They want to frame him as a traitor who sold our technology to China,

so the media will chew you and him out until the election is over.

Even if you replace him, feign ignorance,

and hold out until the end,

we all know how the election will end.

That's quite persuasive.

Then…

you must have an alternative.

You wouldn't have set up this meeting

if you didn't have one.

First,

Cha Joo-eun, the owner of Spy detective agency,

needs to be proven innocent.

If the industrial technology leakage is proven to be false,

their plan

won't be able to succeed.

So

how will you do that?

Let her in.

It's nice to meet you, sir. I'm Cha Joo-eun.

Have a seat, please.

You used that phone to communicate with Cha Joo-eun.

What is this?

That's the burner phone you used to communicate with me.

And I'm an investor who was interested in One Line's core technology,

flexible display.

I don't follow you.

I see.

Mr. Park was just trying to persuade you to invest in us,

so all he did was explain what the technology was.

Is that it?

Yes, that's exactly it.

Then

what about my Mi-young?

I'm sorry, sir.

About her…

Ms. Yoo Mi-young, you can come out.

Hurry up, will you?

You need to sue her

for conning you.

Ms. Yoo Mi-young, you're under arrest without a warrant for fraud.

You have the right to an attorney and to remain silent.

Whatever you say out of anger may be used against you in a court of law.

Hey, Detective Kim. What are you doing?

Why the hell are you taking my suspect?

There's a new charge, buddy.

Mr. Park and his investor are coming as we speak.

What?

Investment?

You were going to invest in a company that makes

cutting-edge industrial products? You, Ms. Cha?

What's that tone of voice?

Are you looking down on my job?

I'm not getting the wrong idea right now, am I?

I'm awfully offended.

The police segregating, discriminating, and looking down on the citizens?

Fine, then.

So, how much?

How much were you going to invest?

I was going to invest about ten billion won.

I trust my daughter's judgment.

Thanks for believing in me, Mom.

I'm doing well, right?

Of course. You're my daughter, after all.

Fine. That's great.

However, you're still guilty of running away.

Right.

LAWYER OH HYUN-KYUNG

You can talk to my lawyer about that.

It's been a long time.

You're right. What is this about?

What do you think?

Of course, it's business-related.

Is that so?

What? Don't you believe me?

Right. Our relationship has always been business-related.

I want to hire you for a case.

What is this?

"Law firm"?

"Law firm"? Am I right?

What's this?

OH HYUN-KYUNG

Look at these two.

This is ridiculous.

Why did you do it?

What do you mean?

Why did you join GK?

It was my lifelong dream to work for a conglomerate.

And I finally made it.

When will I finally get to know

your true face?

Gosh, I feel hurt.

I've always been truthful with you.

Oh, my. Then it all must have been a misunderstanding.

Are you bored?

What?

You've been glancing at your watch.

I have an appointment.

All right, then.

Damn it.

Gosh.

It's me.

I'm afraid we'll have to look for another lawyer.

I'll find you a better one.

It can't be helped then.

Okay.

I can change my lawyer, right?

Hello.

This is Oh Hyun-kyung from O&S Law Firm.

Are you really Ms. Cha Joo-eun's lawyer?

That's correct. She's my client.

Okay.

What's going on?

That bitch agreed to do it?

What do you say? Should I accept?

Why aren't you answering?

Fine.

I don't see why you shouldn't

when she's up for it.

Let her do it.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

-Did he call? -What?

Your dad. He was discharged last week.

I didn't want to seem tacky

by welcoming him with tofu so I didn't go.

But now, I can't seem to locate him.

He must've called you, though.

No, he didn't.

You know how I was recently.

I was a lonely fugitive with a burner phone.

Mom.

Yes?

Do you think

we could live like we used to?

You, Dad, and me.

-Us three. -That's not

-important right now. -What?

We must stop this case from going to trial no matter what.

You've already been to prison once.

It'd be nice if you could call them and put an end to this.

To talk about the call you received regarding the made-up investigation.

So you want me to tell the police

how to do their job?

Please, sir.

This case shouldn't be brought to trial.

Then don't you think this deal would only be fair

if I set a condition as well?

I'd like you to work for me from now on.

I don't mean joining my camp.

I'd like you to be covert.

You know what "clandestine" means,

don't you?

You've already been to prison once.

Hello.

I won't say

that I lost a bet to my friends or came to give you

the beauty you dropped.

But I'll make you smile in five minutes.

Are you a comedian?

What? You shouldn't be smiling so soon.

I smiled back then as well.

I knew you would.

Look at that confidence.

What is it?

Did it not work out?

That's not it. It went well.

I'm sorry you have to stay at motels.

Please be patient until the case is closed completely.

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

I'm more worried about you.

What are you going to do about Assemblyman Kwon's offer?

I'll have to take it

since your safety is on the line.

Don't worry.

It'll all work out.

Okay.

I trust you.

Go in first. I need to see Yoon-seok first.

-Don't be too long. -Okay.

PRIVATE LIVES

Everyone who's involved right now.

Take care of them yourself.

And if I can't? Will you kill Cha Joo-eun?

Jeong-hwan. You can come back to GK.

I'm going to stay by your side.

It's a totally different world. We'll suffocate there.

We're going to continue with our plan to get back at Kim Jae-wook, right?

Of course. That's what I live for every day.

I was going to leave, but I seemed to have dropped something.

Who has it?

Can you show me President Choi's ledger?
