THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED IN SAFE SITUATIONS.

Is that real?

Is he dead?

Report to the police, quickly.

We should report it.

Everyone, calm down.

I'm a police officer.

Who's in charge of here?

I...

am an assistant of professor Noh.

Block the gate.

The murderer is in here.

This...

is a locked-room murder.

Hello.

I'm off today.

What?

You're doing what?

Crime scene preservation.

Come here right now.

Oh.

Come in, come in.

Can't you stay calm just for one day?

It's a murder case.

Artist Noh Youngjae was dead.

Come quickly.

Who is that?

You're lacking in common sense...

Gosh...

He's famous for "Life and Death" series.

The theme of this time is "Death."

He was lying dead over there.

It looked like a performance art.

People look angry.

No way.

They are willing to cooperate.

It's over there.

Paint?

You found him?

I felt it.

The feeling that every case is following me.

- Like a fate? - Kyungjin.

Get the visitors' number and let them go.

Okay.

Why?

Why, why?

The criminal is among them.

He's been dead for over ten hours.

How do you know?

I can see it from purple spots.

Rigor mortis has already set.

You think he'll understand it?

Yes, chief.

We confirmed the scene.

We'll take this case.

Purple spots?

Violent Crime Investigation Team 1.

Yes, it's La Mente Gallery.

Okay.

Sorry. Please cooperate.

Hey, hey.

Get some water.

He's shocked.

"Kwon Dojun Noh Youngjae's assistant"

When did you last see

Professor Noh?

Last night.

It was around 9:00 p.m.

I left work before him.

Why did you leave before him?

Oh, that's...

On the night before an exhibition,

he usually works till late to check the paintings.

- I'll get going, sir. - Okay.

After 9:00 p.m.,

where did you go?

I went home and went to bed early.

Where do you live?

I live in Gangha-dong,

Dokdo Study Room.

Why? You're not preparing a test.

What time did you arrive here?

At around 8:00 a.m.

You got here two hours before the gallery opened,

but didn't look around inside the hall?

Oh, that's...

As soon as I got here,

I set up the catering and called Mr. Noh.

But I couldn't reach him,

so I went to his house.

But he wasn't at home either.

On the way back to the gallery, I had a fender bender.

Oh, sorry...

So it was past 10:00 a.m. when I got here.

And...

I never expected he had passed away.

Is there

anyone who could have a grudge against Mr. Noh?

No.

He was a great artist and a great person.

So, he was popular among students.

Hey, hey.

We'd better stop.

You should go home and rest.

- You want to go to the hospital? - No, I'm fine.

Okay.

Go get some rest.

We'll talk later at the station.

Go. Take care.

Gosh, you're sweating.

He's the criminal.

But you cared about him.

That was my plan.

Bad cop, and a good cop.

This is not a movie.

It was all the same.

Chasing,

fascinating actions,

and arresting the criminal in slow motion.

Mr. Jin?

- Oh. - It's been a long time.

You know everyone in the world?

I told you, I'm a celebrity.

Ms. Lee,

you're still stylish, huh?

You're always so gentle.

"Lee Hwajung, gallery director"

Oh, this is my leader.

I'm Lee Ganghyun from Gangha station.

Can't believe this kind of incident occured here.

Murder case in a gallery?

The exhibition will become famous, though.

I can't deny that.

Tickets are selling like hot cakes.

It's sad, though.

Mr. Noh was beginning to acquire world-wide-fame.

Do you know anyone

who would want to kill him?

There might be a lot.

He was famous for his bad temper.

But Mr. Kwon said he was very nice and kind.

What else could he say?

His life depended on the professor's hand.

He worked for Mr. Noh for ten years. Now the professor is dead,

Kwon has no one to rely on now.

He looked shocked at the professor's death.

Did you notice any change in Mr. Noh recently?

Oh, right.

There was a small incident.

A week ago,

someone suddenly barged into Mr. Noh's studio

- and spilled red paint on his drawing. - Oh?

The red paint?

Why?

- That's... - The red paint was spilled

on his dead body.

Gosh, that's terrible.

Do you know

who did that?

I don't know because I was on a business trip.

But I heard Mr. Noh let the culprit go without any punishment.

Though it was one of his major exhibits.

Kyungjin,

check Mr. Noh's reporting records. And secure CCTV footage

for last night.

Oh.

You won't find CCTV footage.

We replaced the cams yesterday.

Oh, I see.

Check the cams on the road.

The gallery underwent renovation yesterday.

Okay.

Buy his paintings now.

They'll double in price soon.

Oh, should I?

Don't you have wet wipes?

Wet wipes?

Oh, I spilled coffee there yesterday.

You didn't wipe it off?

I did.

Do you have a tissue, then?

Tissue?

Use this.

Jeez...

What's this?

What was that?

What's that?

Is it sundae?

- Sundae? - No.

Cherry tomatoes.

Watch out not to step on it.

What a mess!

Who keeps a car this dirty?

I'm too busy catching bastards to clean my car.

- Look, we should've used my car. - Don't.

Where are we going?

To do the most difficult thing

in the whole investigating process.

What's that?

Notifying a victim's death

to their family.

Who's there?

Police.

Gosh... my head aches.

Police?

"Joo Hwayoung Noh Youngjae's wife"

Yes.

Have a seat.

I'm Lee Ganghyun

from Gangha Station.

I'm Jin Isoo.

What's up?

- Yesterday-- - Hey.

Well...

Don't be too surprised.

We regret to say

that your husband

has passed away last night.

We offer our condolences.

That jerk is dead?

His exhibition starts today, right?

How did he die?

He was murdered.

No wonder that jerk died like that.

I'm glad I haven't got divorced yet.

Then...

you're gonna do an autopsy?

Yes.

So you don't need me for now.

I have a hangover,

so I need more sleep.

You just go.

After 9:00 p.m. last night,

where were you?

I didn't kill him.

I don't even have any feeling left on him.

I gave up on him a long time ago.

Where were you?

I was with my boyfriend

till 2:00 a.m.

I'll give you his number. You can check.

This would not be easy...

Three suspects.

An assistant who worked for him for long.

A wife showing no tears

on her husband's death.

A director hoping for the success of the exhibition.

Oh, there's one more.

A mystery person who attacked him with paint.

It's interesting.

This is so exciting.

You think... this is exciting?

Yes.

I haven't been focused like this for so long.

- I see. - Oh, Ganghyun.

I should get going now.

Where are you going?

I have some stuff to do at home.

What stuff?

- You want to know? - No.

I can stay with you if you need me

- in investigation-- - Goodbye.

Hey, Jin.

Don't do anything alone.

If you find out anything,

report me first.

Yes, ma'am.

She's going overboard again.

Honey.

- Honey. - Yes.

- Honey. - Why?

Someone is moving in over there.

- Really? - Yes.

I'd finally see someone living in that house.

Why aren't you preparing?

For what?

You said you're going with me.

Did I?

Come on. Let's go.

It's a gathering in a long time.

You go alone. I'll stay home.

He used to stay out all the time when he was younger.

You are a Hara...

Haki...

Ha, hara...

What?

Harazuku... or something?

It's hikikomori.

Hikikomori.

What a know-it-all.

Go ahead.

"Noh Youngjae's murder case in La Mente Gallery"

"evidence found"

"champagne, victim's fingerprint, knife"

"red paint on the body, stabbed in the stomach"

Hey. You checked Joo Hwayoung's boyfriend?

They say they were in a bar last night,

but the room in question isn't visible to the CCTV cameras.

Bae Jinkyu, 34 years old.

Seven convictions of fraud.

A famous artist, a wife having an affair,

and her fraud boyfriend.

It's obvious, right?

Right.

It's a little too obvious.

Checked on the paint attack case?

Yes, someone damaged his painting, but...

The culprit wasn't there when police arrived,

and Mr. Noh just decided to let it slide.

Did you ask Mr. Kwon?

I can't reach him.

What about CCTV?

I got the file.

Wait.

- The culprit is-- - Female.

Ask the taxi company for cooperation,

and check Mr. Noh's life insurance, Joo Hwayoung's asset,

and her capital flow history.

And Bae Jinkyu's financial state, too.

- Ask telecom company for cooperation. - Okay.

Oh...

No, I mean...

No, what time is it?

Three thirty, this is, um...

she's waiting, oh...

But, nevertheless, I...

- What do I do? - Why are you

so nervous all of a sudden?

I'm off today, so my girlfriend is waiting.

- You can go. - Thank you!

Honey!

Sorry, I'm late.

Yeah.

You could spoil that child.

Let them.

They're in love.

- Only a five-minute walk away, - Yes.

there's a nice pork cutlet place.

Let's go, then.

They're like lovebirds.

Why?

I've never seen you dating someone.

I've never seen you do that either.

I have dated

from time to time.

It didn't last long, though.

Me too.

We, soloists, should just write a letter of cooperation.

When does the autopsy begin?

Tomorrow morning.

- I'll be there. - Okay.

I'll visit Mr. Kwon tomorrow.

Where's Jin Isoo?

I don't know.

He has some stuff at home.

I hope it will take long.

Knock, knock.

You moved here.

Ah, yes...

Please excuse me.

Oh, wait.

You've already tidied it up.

Let me go in for a second.

Oh...

I wondered when a new neighbor would move in here.

Who are you?

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

I am

the village master of this town.

Go Misook.

Oh, the village master.

Does that position still exist?

Of course.

This town can't be run without me.

And contact this person

if you have anything to be repaired.

You'd never get ripped off if you tell him I introduced you.

The second floor is also yours?

Yes, that's just...

You've already cleaned up here.

Gosh...

Someone drew a picture here.

You'll repaper the wall?

Or paint the wall?

I'll just keep this wall like this.

It's my drawing.

I used to live here before.

You did?

Oh...

I see.

This house has left unoccupied since I moved here.

Yes.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

It's a nice town to live in.

If you need anything...

You see that house

with a blue roof over there?

You can visit anytime

before 10:00 p.m.

because I go to bed at 10:00 p.m.

Come and ask anything if you need.

Okay.

Gosh...

it must be tough tidying all these up.

See you again.

Yes.

Mom...

The roof leaks here, too.

Maybe raindrops

want to come play in our house.

Welcome.

You're home, sweetie?

I was depressed, so I'm drinking.

- Want to join me? - You kicked Isoo out?

- Did he snitch on me to you? - I heard it at the villa.

I told you, stop harassing him.

Why?

Why should I stop it?

You know how much I suffered

because of that woman.

You know all of that!

You shouldn't do this to me.

You're the only one that I have.

How could you do that to me?

You're the only one I have.

Your youngest son

moved out.

To where?

To Gangha-dong.

It's been owned by him

so far.

Isoo

went back to that house.

Is it possible for him

to restore his memory?

Don't let him live in that house.

He might

get back

his memory.

This car looks familiar.

Huh?

Hey, why are you here?

And why are you here?

I've lived here for ten years.

It's been my home since I was born.

Huh?

Blue roof?

Your mom is the village master?

You already met my mom?

She is so warm and kind.

You don't resemble your mom.

Huh?

This guy is a bit sensitive.

My car is cool.

That cool guy is in coma

because of the owner.

This is how to take care of a precious car.

Then, you know what happens?

It sounds this nice.

You feel it?

A heart-pounding and touching sound--

Lower the speed. The speed limit is 37 here.

Where's your sense of romance?

You were here.

I couldn't reach you yesterday.

I went home

and slept right away.

I came here at dawn.

Have you eaten?

Your face is worn.

I heard it from the gallery director.

There was an incident

a week ago?

Oh, yes. A woman

- broke in suddenly-- - A woman?

Yes.

What's this?

The cam here recorded it all.

To choose the paintings for the exhibition,

I recorded it all.

This is good.

It's colorful, while it has a theme of desperation.

Hm...

Let's pick that one for the main.

- Mr. Kwon. - Yes.

What do you think?

Don't ask him.

He's skillful

but not smart.

He still has a long way to go.

Just pass the list

to the people in charge.

May I help you?

Huh?

This shouldn't be revealed.

How dare you?

You, murderer!

- You, murderer! - Are you crazy?

Stop her, Kwon!

Okay, okay.

That scarf...

You know who she is?

Yes, I do.

I know her.

You're early today.

I was on another autopsy.

Noh Youngjae, 61 years old.

Died due to organ damage and excessive bleeding.

Died from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Blood alcohol level is 0.06%.

Three stab wounds.

Turn around.

Turn.

Here

and here.

And look at me.

This

was the deadly stab.

You understand?

So...

he was stabbed from the back first?

Yes, but the wounds on the back are so light

that I doubt the culprit intended to kill him.

Like hesitation wounds of suicides?

Yes...

The criminal hesitated at first,

and

when the victim turned around and reacted

they stabbed him deeply.

What kind of reaction?

Oh.

It was under his nails.

Like this...

he held something tightly.

This is all.

Can the criminal be a female?

Well...

Yes.

It's possible.

Police.

Oh Gyeongsun is here, right?

Yes.

She must be cleaning the sauna.

Can I go check her?

Okay.

This was how jjimjilbang looks like.

Is it your first time?

Because I have a sauna in my house.

I heard the eggs here are so yummy.

Eggs are just eggs.

Do you have 2,000 won?

I forgot to bring my wallet.

Ms. Oh Gyeongsun?

"Oh Gyeongsun the paint attacker"

Noh Youngjae

was murdered.

I never believed it,

but God truly exists.

He was punished by the Heaven.

He killed my daughter.

These paintings...

They look the same, right?

He stole my daughter's painting.

He was Yeseon's academic adviser.

Pretending to help with her graduation exhibition,

he plagiarized

her painting.

So what did you do?

I did everything I could.

I accused him, sued him,

- and reported it. - He was

- plagiarizing my painting. - But...

no one believed

what my daughter said.

He said he'd help her to study abroad

if we covered it.

But later,

he accused my daughter

"Complaint"

of plagiarism.

Then, your daughter is...

She died.

A year ago...

Stop it, Yeseon.

Please stop it.

Stop!

I don't need to keep these.

I'll remove them all.

It's no use keeping them here!

I buried her...

and I've been a total mess.

And then I saw that.

I lost control of myself.

Two days ago,

at 10 p.m.

Where were you?

I was working at the sauna.

I worked till 12:00 a.m.

Okay, thank you.

I'll call you again.

That scarf...

It was

a birthday present from my daughter.

She had saved money to buy it doing a part-time job.

It's pretty, isn't it?

I can relate to her,

but I hope she didn't kill him.

"Gallery CCTV arrived and left in a taxi"

"woman in footage: orange scarf"

"Oh Gyeongsun's scarf"

"Oh Gyeongsun, Lee Yeseon"

Who's she?

A prime suspect with a strong motive.

Did you investigate Joo Hwayoung?

Three life insurances

and two billion of death benefit.

That's a lot.

But her family

is a real estate tycoon.

But real estate is hard to liquidate.

She might've needed quick cash for Bae Jinkyu.

And she hated her husband.

Autopsy results came out.

There were three stab wounds

One on abdomen and two on the back.

The ones on the back are hesitation wounds.

Hesitation wounds?

He died between 10 and 11 p.m.

Means the criminal hesitated, of course.

The victim was turning his back, but they hesitated.

Why?

It's Oh Gyeongsun who spilled the paint on the painting.

Mr. Noh plagiarized

her daughter's painting,

and she thinks her daughter killed herself for that.

She has that scarf.

If it was for money, it's Joo.

If it was for revenge,

it's Oh.

Oh Gyeongsun said she worked at night on the day,

so check CCTV there, Kyungjin.

Okay.

Check it thoroughly.

It's only 20 minutes from the jjimjilbang to the gallery.

She could've got changed and gone out.

I'll dig into Bae Jinkyu.

I'll visit the taxi company.

What about me? What should I do?

- You? - Yes, me.

You see that book?

Yes.

Study.

Stop playing a cop

with that locked-room murder stuff.

Or you can go clean your house.

Hey, I already have a lawyer's license.

Director Lee.

It's me.

This one looks better.

Hey, honey.

Really? I love you!

Hey, wait.

- Me? - Yes.

Police.

You know Bae Jinkyu,

right?

He's starting a business.

What kind of business?

I don't know.

He's still planning on it.

Oh, he said he found an investor.

Why?

Oh, yes. I remember this passenger.

Was she this woman?

I don't think so.

Did you see her face?

No.

She was covering her face and bending down her head.

How did she pay?

She paid in cash and left without getting the change.

I'm here again.

Didn't the director call you?

I bought those two paintings.

Just a moment...

Yes.

Yes, he's here.

Oh...

Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

But this painting

is damaged.

It's not damaged, but it became meaningful.

Haven't you heard about the artist

who shredded his painting right after it was sold?

You're right.

I'll wrap this painting.

Okay.

Is this one also Mr. Noh's work?

No.

That's my work.

Mr. Noh let me share his studio.

I like this painting.

I like rainy days, too.

Do you know this painting?

Well...

A woman is lying under the water,

and...

she seems as if she's dead.

Oh.

Are you

talking about this one?

Oh.

Ophelia.

It's not what I'm saying.

That's another one.

It's seen from above.

Like...

The woman's face is blurred...

and...

Oh...

I don't know.

Okay.

And what about this place?

I'll have to clean it up.

I'll remove

all of my stuff.

I'll wrap the painting.

Okay.

Oh Gyeongsun never left the jjimjilbang.

Taxi driver also said it was not her.

So it could be Joo Hwayoung or Bae Jinkyu.

Bae Jinkyu spent a lot of cash recently,

and he found an investor for his business.

How dare you!

You murderer!

- You, murderer! - Are you crazy?

She knew

Oh Gyeongsun hated Mr. Noh...

And she must have known that the gallery would replace the CCTV.

After disguising herself as Oh Gyeongsun,

she killed her husband.

Bae Jinkyu, the accomplice,

set an alibi for her.

Should we

arrest them now?

No, they must still be staying vigilant.

Let's summon them tomorrow morning

when they begin to feel relieved.

That scarf...

I heard it's discontinued.

Find out where we can buy it.

Okay.

Mr. Choi!

Mr. Choi, Mr. Choi!

Ganghyun!

- What is it? - Ganghyun!

Where are you?

Why?

It saw me, it saw me.

No, no.

4237, 4237!

4237, 4237!

Damn it!

You...

opened the door.

What's up?

What?

A rat.

What did you say?

There's a rat.

What the hell.

Hey, please, don't go!

Please.

I'm begging you.

Please?

You'll sleep in the tent?

Yes, it's easy and quick.

The rat could come back.

Why don't you just go to a hotel?

I can't drive. My legs are shaking.

I'll make it quick. Please keep watching.

Rat?

You really lived here before?

Yes, with my mom.

She suddenly passed away when I was seven.

That was when I heard

that I was a son of Hansu Group.

I'm different.

I'm not a real silver spoon.

What...

happened to your mom?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom.

- Mom! - It was a car accident.

It's not that clear now.

Now that I came back here,

it reminds me of the good old memories.

Okay.

- I'm leaving. - Hey.

Thanks.

I'll be late today.

"Vermin Extermination Service"

You're starting a business?

Oh, that...

It's not a big deal.

It's just a sideline.

I'll take over a pension in Jeju.

Oh.

It must be expensive.

Is it around two billion?

Recently, Bae Jinkyu asked you for cash for his business, right?

Yes, he did.

Two billion.

It's exactly the same amount

- as Mr. Noh's death benefit. - Oh, it is?

I didn't know that.

You're a real estate tycoon,

but making quick cash of two billion wouldn't be easy.

But now you have cash

for your young boyfriend.

I'll break up with him.

I bought him a car and clothes.

But I don't like him enough to give him two billion.

If you think

that I killed my husband

to get the death benefit,

you got it wrong.

You'd better investigate Kwon rather than me.

Why?

Because he has a motive of murder.

But isn't he the last person who would want

Mr. Noh to be dead?

To be a professor or to debut,

he needed Mr. Noh's help.

Noh didn't help him with that

and just made slaves of him for over ten years.

No wonder Mr. Kwon was preparing to study abroad in secret.

He was preparing to study abroad?

Yes. He was going to get a support from the Artist Foundation.

She's lying.

She'll run away while we're suspecting Kwon.

We should check it anyway.

Okay.

I'll watch those two, then.

Thank you.

Huh?

It won't be simple because it's related to a foreign company.

I'll contact Attorney Lee,

and let's go see him together.

Okay.

Is it tough?

Yes, it is.

This is too big for me.

Can't you just come back?

You're not the one to serve the conglomerate family.

That's my last job.

Hello.

Mr. Choi, I have a favor.

All right.

Who is the leader of the Electric Laboratory Team?

I told them to look at it.

"Radiation-controlled Area No unauthorized entry."

A sign was left first

before a new painting was added on it.

Why did he do that?

"Used Market"

Mr. Kwon.

You're done tidying up?

Yes.

Where are you going?

Far away?

What's up?

Oh.

I spent a fortune to buy it,

but there's a problem.

There's a famous painting by Millet called The Angelus,

where a couple pray in the field.

There's a basket with potatoes inside.

But originally,

it was a coffin.

This peaceful drawing

was actually

about a sad couple who lost their baby.

Oh.

You can confirm it by X-ray.

Mr. Kwon was selected

but it was cancelled.

Why?

His academic adviser called.

He said Mr. Kwon's portfolio

was plagiarized.

When did he call?

It was a week ago.

Was it a woman who bought this scarf?

No, it was a man.

Just a moment.

Can I switch to a video call?

Yes.

Was it this man?

No.

Wait.

It was this man next to him.

I dropped the painting while I was hanging it,

and I found a totally different color on the damaged area.

So, I took an X-ray of this painting.

- Yes. - The one who bought the scarf

was Kwon Dojun.

I talked with the seller.

Check where he is and tell me.

Call Junyoung, too.

Then I found this.

There's a signature that is not Mr. Noh's.

Under Mr. Noh's painting,

why is your signature hidden?

"Jin Isoo attacked by the prime suspect What will happen?"

Special thanks to Jang Kyuri

I found him dead.

It's not me.

Mr. Kwon was found dead this morning.

The real culprit is...

We don't have a proof.

Wasn't there a key?

I can catch him.

What kind of world are you living in?

Ganghyun!

This is a murder case.

A rice cake was stuck in his throat.

If it's chewed, it gets teeth marks.

No teeth mark here.

And this is missing.

- If it's the real National Seal-- - Can it be?

Similar cases occurred three times in a month.

this is a serial case.

No fingerprints found.

Let's set a trap.

The secret auction at 2:00 a.m.

To the back door! Stop!

Exactly a billion.

Gosh, you're so...

No wonder.

- Hello. - They're here.

Right. They're two.

Drop the syringe!

Drop it!
