(with a single choice.)

When this job is over,

are you really going to quit?

I mean,

you'd make way more doing this than at that new job.

We could just do it for a little while longer, right?

- You want to live like this forever? - No, of course not.

I'm just saying we make our money and then get out.

How much is that? What, a million dollars?

Two million?

It's never just the money.

(55 Haengbok-ro 32-gil, Green gate house, Master bedroom, under the covers)

(55 Haengbok-ro 32-gil)

Mr. Hwang Joon Hyun?

Do you know where you are?

Mr. Hwang Joon Hyun?

Yes...

It looks like he's having trouble speaking.

For now, let's move him to a general ward and keep him under observation.

Contact his guardian. He needs a brain CT.

Understood.

Mr. Hwang. Let's get you...

Where did he go?

Mr. Hwang Joon Hyun?

Mr. Hwang Joon Hyun?

Mr. Hwang Joon Hyun?

(Episode 10)

(Dongbu Municipal Hospital)

This is the last time he was seen on CCTV.

He could barely walk, and he was still in shock.

Where could he have possibly gone?

The first place he'd go as soon as he woke up.

Surprisingly close for a couple of drug dealers.

I was worried this one would go ballistic trying to avenge his brother.

But he's in a vegetative state?

(Victims: Hwang Dong Hyun, 26, Hwang Joon Hyun, 25)

You don't think...

he went to Kang Eun Soo?

(Partner)

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

I'll tell you everything.

I'm outside your house right now.

I'll wait for you to come out.

(I'll wait for you to come out)

What is he doing?

Stop this.

Who are you?

Being a janitor at a club is one thing.

But a housekeeper for her own kid's tutor?

Yeo Ju told me you're working as a housekeeper...

for that after-school instructor.

Is that true?

The after-school instructor?

You...

You were in on it too, weren't you?

(Gaepyeong-ro)

(Mom)

(My Daughter)

You have two phones?

Give it to me.

- This isn't nine kilograms. - Once you've paid for the rest,

I'll give it to you then.

You think just because I'm rich, I'd carry a couple million bucks on me?

Gosh, these dramas really give people the wrong idea.

- Then I guess we don't have a deal. - Come on.

Just like partners. You're both so impatient.

Or ex-partners, I should say.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

(Mom)

(Call History, Mom, Dad)

You're different than I thought. I took you for a real pro.

First time seeing two million dollars?

I have a condition, too.

James.

Information about that guy.

His real name, who he is,

and why he approached me.

I don't make deals where I lose out.

So if you tell me everything,

you'll get the money and walk away unharmed.

That shouldn't be a problem.

All right.

Let me explain.

I'll tell you why I did it, what I was thinking, all of it.

The truth about James is...

Just listen to me.

Of course...

something felt off.

I know my Eun Soo.

My Eun Soo would never do something like that.

You're the one...

who made her this way!

I said, listen to me!

Your medical bills and your debt.

Don't you get it, or are you pretending?

You're the one who drove her to this!

You think Kang Eun Soo did this just to get rich quick?

All your wife wanted was to pay off your medical bills and the debt.

Then she was going to get out. Do you get it?

So...

calm down and give them to me.

And I'll make sure nothing happens to your family.

You're just...

going to sell it again, aren't you?

I'm reporting you.

Are you going to let them put your wife in handcuffs?

(Su Ah)

Dad, save me.

Some creep...

just kidnapped me and locked me up.

Su Ah...

Dad, save me. Please?

Dad, I'm so scared.

Please, save me.

(Su Ah)

Su Ah.

Dad?

Dad, are you okay?

What's wrong?

(Location Sharing)

(Su Ah)

(Location Sharing)

Please, spare me.

Eun Young!

Stay with me, Eun Young!

Please spare me.

Why are you doing this to me?

What are you doing? Run!

Darn it.

Mr. Lee.

Su Ah, are you okay?

What was that?

That we met at Club Medusa and his nickname is James.

I'm telling you, that's all I know.

I wish I could just make something up for you,

but I'm not a con artist.

Anyway, I didn't meet your condition, so I'll just take what you brought today.

Are you kidding me?

Let go.

What, are you going to kill me?

I'm not trying to rip you off.

I give you the goods, you give me the cash.

Do I really deserve to be treated like this?

Darn it.

Unless you plan on burying me here,

I said get your hands off me, you bastard!

- Sir. - Yes?

Did you keep the dashcam running?

Yes, just like you asked. But nothing happened.

Thank you. Just go, quickly.

- Please hurry. - Right.

(Missed Call: My Daughter)

(My Girl: Mom, save me)

(My Girl)

(Have a good day at school, sweetheart)

Mom, save me.

Su Ah, get out of here! Go!

Die!

His right side.

His right ribs.

Hwang Joon Hyun has a broken rib.

It hasn't healed yet.

(Congratulations on your admission!)

(Police)

Su Ah!

Su Ah! What on earth happened?

My gosh, and your hand... What's wrong with it?

What happened?

What are you doing here?

- Tae Woo. - Yes?

You have the interrogation record, right?

- The record? - Let me have that.

One second.

- That one. - That should be it.

- Yes, that one. - This is it.

You sure?

Hey!

Hey, calm down!

I said knock it off, you bastard!

Get him to an interrogation room.

Get in there, you punk!

It's okay.

You're okay. It's okay.

Let me see.

It looks like you know him, ma'am.

(2 Hours Earlier)

I'd forgotten all about him since he was in a vegetative state.

I forgot that while you might be lacking in other areas, Kyung Do,

you never run out of persistence.

You were the one who taught me that, Team Leader.

You said that on the force, the cop who never gives up always wins.

Those were your words.

Just tell me why.

What happened to you?

Everyone's just trying to live a good life.

But not everyone can.

Not in this darn world.

So you do what you have to.

So stop digging around.

If you keep this up,

I'll have to go after your family.

You couldn't save your unborn child,

but you'd better protect the one who's still alive.

Isn't that right, Kyung Do?

You must have been so scared.

Are you injured at all?

No, I'm fine.

You said you're an instructor...

at the victim's after-school program, right?

That's right.

The person who attacked you? Had you ever seen him before?

And you have no idea why you were attacked?

How did you know to go there?

- Sir? - Yes?

I asked, how did you know to go there?

(Calling 911)

Yes, this is 55 Haengbok-ro. Someone's collapsed.

It's an emergency. Please get here as fast as you can.

(Live location received from Su Ah)

(E-Plus, Sky365)

I had to leave my car because of the snow, and I was walking...

when I heard a scream.

Right.

So, where do you live?

- Cheongdae-dong. - Cheongdae...

The person who attacked you also kidnapped you, right?

At the place where you were kidnapped,

what were you doing there?

Answer me.

What do you think you're doing? My daughter is the victim here.

(On-site Evidence)

We found this in your daughter's bag.

(On-site Evidence)

The suspect planned to dissolve the drugs and inject them into your daughter.

Did you know what was in this bag of gummies?

- No. - Then why did you have this?

And why were you going door-to-door delivering these?

Because they said they'd pay me.

Who?

Who?

Who would make a kid like you...

do this kind of thing for money?

Need a dropper ASAP. DM me.

(Fresh Red Chili Paste)

I really don't know.

They said the posts just show up on an app.

If you DM them that you're in, they give you the location.

You clearly have no idea what you've done. You're facing drug distribution charges.

Do you have any idea how serious that is?

But I...

That's not what happened...

Detective.

Just a moment. Please, just talk with me for a moment.

- Detective Kim. - Yes, sir.

Take her to the interrogation room.

This way, please.

You can wait here.

You're free to go.

Sir?

- Yes? - We're done, so you can go.

If we need another statement, we'll be in touch.

Okay.

If you don't want to end up like her, you'd better pick a side.

James.

What a shame.

My daughter would never.

You set her up, didn't you?

You don't know your daughter at all, do you?

Don't tell me you even had someone tailing my daughter?

Did you really think I'd leave you be...

without some kind of insurance?

I was the one who was shocked.

To see a mother making her own daughter push drugs.

It...

wasn't me.

I swear, I was going to quit after this.

So was I.

I was really going to quit, too.

Just one more time. Just one more time, and I'd be done.

That's what I told myself.

Didn't you say you can spot your own kind?

He said there was an easier way...

to make a lot of money.

My family doesn't know.

To be honest, I sensed it too. Back then.

That maybe...

you and I are very similar people.

The way you bottle things up inside and push through...

was like looking at my former self.

But that kind of thing...

always...

explodes.

At least, in my experience.

You'll really do anything I say?

Then bring me everything.

All the drugs you stole.

I want to kill every last one of them.

- Let's go, Yoon Jin Hee. - The ones...

who hurt my daughter and my family.

You can't just leave like this.

Anyone who looks down on me.

Every last one of them.

Ma'am, please...

Never again...

I'll make sure no one ever looks down on me again.

Ms. Kang Eun Soo.

Did you really want to quit?

This is the dining room. There's a sliding door to the kitchen,

so you can separate the space.

- Go ahead, have a seat. - Okay.

This is nice.

Then...

will you keep working with me?

All right.

I'm in.

Hey, Kyung Do.

(Narcotics Unit)

You all right, man?

Sir.

Yes?

Did Team Leader ever lend you money?

Yes. When I was suspended, he helped me out a few times.

I kept trying to pay him back, but he refused to take it.

But why do you ask?

Be careful.

Don't end up like me.

Hey, Kyung Do...

Let me tell you what's going to happen.

Your daughter will be sent to juvenile detention center.

And your husband? He goes back to cheap chemo and dies.

Because I'm going to report your undeclared income to the IRS.

Then you won't be able to touch a cent of your money,

and you'll lose your house.

Maybe you'll take your daughter and try to run away,

go somewhere else.

You probably would.

But I'll keep searching for you,

and I will find you.

And when I do,

everything you love,

everything you're trying to protect,

I'm going to smash it all to pieces.

Because I...

am...

exceptionally...

good at that.

What is it that you...

want?

(Narcotics Unit, Officer Choi Kyung Do)

This is in case you ever need to reach out,

whether you just want to talk...

or need a hand.

I don't think this is over yet.

Excuse me.

Taxi?

Taxi!

Why won't any of them stop?

Seriously...

I didn't know.

I thought something was off,

but I didn't know what they were. I swear.

I just needed money.

What could you possibly need money for?

Tuition.

I want to go to an arts high school.

I was going to earn it myself.

I know you're struggling with Dad's medical bills.

So, I just...

Mom, what do I do?

Am I going to juvie?

What am I going to do, Mom?

I'm so sorry.

No. You're not.

I won't let that happen.

Trust me.

Don't worry.

Mom, I'm so sorry.

Mom, I really...

I never thought this would happen.

(Emergency Medical Center)

We informed the patient, but I see the message wasn't passed along.

The levels that had been decreasing have gone back up.

On top of that, his immune system is weak, he's developed an infection,

and it looks like he's going into septic shock.

We'll start him on antibiotics, but even if he regains consciousness,

it's unlikely the cancer itself will improve.

So what am I supposed to do?

What can I...

Well, there is...

research showing that heavy-ion therapy can be effective for pancreatic cancer.

But the thing is, it's not available in our country yet.

However, in his current condition, traveling by plane is out of the question.

Mother, no!

(Haengbok Hospital Funeral Home)

What am I supposed to do now!

(Haengbok Hospital Funeral Home)

Gosh, seriously.

I noticed last time that the strap was getting worn.

"Eun Soo, you're doing a great job."

"You're good at everything."

Something like that.

(Haengbok Hospital Funeral Home)

If only that bag...

had never been in our house.

If back then, I had just...

reported it.

But if you had,

you never would've had the chance to get treatment for your husband.

Even if you could go back,

are you sure you wouldn't make the same choice?

Not that I'm one to talk.

I'm sorry.

I was the one who got mad at you and told you to share everything with me,

but I realized I wasn't doing that myself.

No matter what I said,

no one would ever listen.

So at some point,

I became someone who couldn't tell anyone what I was really feeling.

Even now,

I don't know where or how I should even start.

I...

Heading out, sir?

You're heading out?

- What about the rookie? - He's been discharged, sir.

I told him to take a day off tomorrow.

Good.

- All right, keep up the good work. - Yes, sir. Good night.

Good night, sir.

Yes, you take it easy.

(Honest and Upright Police)

Be careful.

Don't end up like me.

I...

just thought I could fix everything later.

I was so focused on getting my revenge...

that I kept putting your situation on the back burner.

But it's not like...

I was any different.

Thank you.

For protecting my family.

The drugs that were in the headrest,

I kept them in a private safe.

You should be the one to hold on to them.

From now on,

we have to trust each other all the way.

The one who killed Hwang Dong Hyun...

is Jang Tae Gu.

That bastard...

won't stop at just putting Su Ah in prison.

If he becomes a suspect,

I know he'll try to pin it...

on me or you.

We can't let him control us for the rest of our lives.

So, what's the plan?

Let's get rid of Jang Tae Gu.

Let's make him disappear.

Get him out of our sight for good.

One of the guys who launders our money...

has connections in China.

Don't you worry. It won't be a problem.

For the right price,

they can smuggle people out and goods in. And they even...

get rid of...

Get rid of people?

If you can lure...

Jang Tae Gu out,

they will take care of the rest.

And...

he'll never be able to come back.

Forever?

Yes.

Forever.

- Do we have to be here again today? - You heard them. Wait at our posts.

Gosh, they said they feel suffocated if we're in the same room.

Let's just go grab a quick bite.

Sounds good.

Honey.

Where are you going?

Wait, you came all the way here...

in your bare feet?

Honey.

I tried not to believe him.

I told myself that bastard forced you to do it.

That's what I wanted to believe.

No.

That's not it. I can explain everything.

Is it still not enough for you?

Is that why you're still doing this?

No matter what the reason,

there are lines you just don't cross.

Because of you, Jin Hee's mom...

Do you have any idea what happened to her family?

Eun Soo, do you just not care if people live or die?

- Is that the kind of person you are? - And what about you?

You don't care if your own family lives or dies?

- What? - As long as everyone else is fine,

it's okay if Su Ah and I...

- die? Is that what you're saying? - That's not what I'm saying at all!

Our home was empty because you gave everything away to others,

so I worked in restaurants and made deliveries...

and I was the one who filled it. For 15 years!

The one who did everything for this family...

wasn't some selfless giver like you.

It was me!

Me!

So how could you,

of all people, blame me?

Seriously.

You, of all people, have no right to do this to me!

Who do you think I started all this for?

Right...

It's all my fault.

Of all the things he said,

that's the one thing I didn't want to believe.

Honey.

I...

(Blocked Number)

Look,

once this is all over,

you'll get exactly what you want.

So just be patient.

If you can't stop yourself,

then I have to stop you.

I have to do something.

- No, what are you doing? - This is 911. What's your emergency?

No, don't!

I said stop!

(Blocked Number)

I told you this would be over soon.

I mean it!

Hello? Are you all right? Is everything okay?

If you're unable to speak,

please just give us your location and we'll dispatch a unit.

Hello?

Hello?

Do Jin.

You know, I really hate to be kept waiting.

- I had to sneak away from my husband. - Did you bring it?

This is all I could get.

(Money Exchange)

The person you have reached...

(Money Exchange)

You sold this for way too little.

To Kang Hwi Rim.

Well, it's fine.

I've got it back now.

Hurry up!

Hurry up and go.

See? I told you.

There's nothing I don't know about you people.

From now on, keep your heads down...

if you want to protect your precious family.

Did you really think I only had you followed?

Are you all right?

(USB Connected)

(Connecting to File Manager)

(Install this application?)

(Installing...)

I'm sorry.

It's actually diarrhea.

So it's not constipation?

One of my guys has connections in China.

For the right price,

they can smuggle people out and goods in. And they even...

get rid of...

Get rid of people?

If you can lure...

Jang Tae Gu out,

they will take care of the rest.

I'll pay you triple.

So do what I say.

Not them.

This goes against the code.

The ones I trust the least in this world are junkies.

My story is this.

I've been investigating you all for a while.

I tried to arrest you at the scene of the deal,

but you attacked me, so I acted in self-defense.

Look at this mess.

If you'd just listened to me, you wouldn't have to die like this.

Cleaning this up is a pain for me, too, you know?

Eun Soo, run!

You darn leeches.

(Walking on Thin Ice)

Let's get out of here.

I'm not...

running away.

You want me to live off...

the price of your sacrifice for me?

Unbelievable.

You lost again, you fool.

Mr. Lee.

That might not be true.

You said it yourself. When you have leverage over someone,

it becomes your own weakness, too.

- I'll turn myself in. - That's a shame,

but if there's one thing I hate, it's unfairness.
