[Episode 2]

Yeah, hello?

I just got here.

What floor was it again? Has forensics arrived?

- You're here? - Yeah.

The bullet went straight through his temple. Death was instantaneous.

Have you identified the victim?

Yeah.

But, wow... I've never seen anything like this.

Wow, this is unbelievable. A gun murder in South Korea?

So I've been thinking, could this possibly be...

The victim's identity?

Sir, here it is.

Hwang Min Ho, 38 years old.

The interesting thing is that he was just released

after serving time for murder.

He staged his pregnant wife's death and collected the insurance.

He served three years and got out three days ago.

Just three years? That's all he got for murder?

It was ruled as a drunk driving case.

His wife, who was in the passenger seat, died.

They could never prove it was a planned accident,

so he only got vehicular homicide.

So, I've been thinking, could this be...

Estimated time of death?

According to the coroner, it appears that at least 12 hours have passed.

He had a 4 a.m. wake-up call request,

but he didn't answer, so a staff member went up and found him.

He had a ticket to the Philippines,

so he was probably planning to catch the first flight out.

Looks like he was taking the money and running overseas to start a new life.

12 hours?

So that would've been yesterday afternoon?

The window was still open when the staff member arrived.

Clearly a chain-smoker.

Wow... Where on earth did the bullet come from?

Sir! I found this!

It's a bullet! Wow, a bullet is lodged in here.

A real one-shot, one-kill...

- Keep it down. - Yes, sir.

No, no way...

Even so, that's way too far...

What are you doing? What's going on?

I know you're the police,

but barging into a sacred church this early...

Sir, I know this must be a shock. It was for me too.

- Please don't be too alarmed. - But...

- First, about today's scripture reading... - You need permission first!

No way. Is that even possible from that far?

Can you even see that?

Oh, maybe the gun is just that good? What kind of gun is it?

Quit yapping.

Hey, Beom, what is the first thing we should do?

Secure the CCTV footage first.

Go check.

If this is the sniper's position,

we should at least be able to narrow down the time.

- Sorry? - The time of the shooting.

Not just the church's cameras. Every CCTV nearby would've been wiped.

The moment the footage disappears, that's the time of the crime.

How could you possibly...

Didn't you say you secretly looked into all this on your own?

Then could this be... As I suspected...

I think that punk is back.

No way...

Nice to see you again, Kingfisher.

- Please take good care of my kid. - Walk, please.

- I'll see you later. - Yeah.

- I know a good cafe... - Oh, it's Yul!

Are you happy I'm taking you today?

Yeah, I like it!

Then I should come more often.

Yeah, come every single day!

Hello!

- Good morning, Miss. - Good morning.

Good morning, Miss. I'm Kwon Tae Seong, Yul's dad.

- It's nice to meet you. - Oh, hello.

- Please take good care of Yul today. - He says he's Yul's dad.

Have fun today, Yul. See you tonight.

You should do that with me.

Do what?

Oh, this is something Yul's mom used to do for her every day.

Let me show you.

She goes, "My Yul, today, too, with friends, get along well!"

My Yul, today, too,

- with friends, get along well! - With friends, get along well!

Say goodbye to your dad.

- Bye-bye! - Let's go inside, Yul. Be careful!

Careful. Take it slow.

Have a good day.

So she had her husband's help. That explains it.

He's handsome.

Yul's mom really has it all.

Good morning! You're here again today.

Good morning.

Oh, Bong! Mr. Bong.

Wow, Mr. Han!

Oh, I didn't realize you were here.

What a pleasant surprise first thing in the morning.

You're so pathetic first thing in the morning.

What is it this time? Lettuce? Two bags of it?

Oh, by the way, I heard that Team 2 topped fan sales again.

Congrats!

You don't have to congratulate us for doing what we always do.

- Yeah, I know. - I'm tired of hearing it.

We also took first in dehumidifiers and air purifiers.

What about Team 3?

Us? Same as always. Dead last every month.

You're way too soft. That's your problem.

Salespeople have to be ruthless when it counts.

Exactly.

What are you doing? Get in!

Oh, I gotta go.

No wonder your whole team's got no fight in them.

That's right.

Good morning!

Come on in.

Oh, my, hang on a second.

Good morning.

Keep up the good work.

Director Yoo!

Team Leader Han, have you been well?

Oh, yeah, Director Yoo.

- I heard you're back. - Yeah.

Enjoy your break?

Break, my foot.

Well, yeah.

Others take a year or two off, but you took a whole three years.

Now that you're back, you'd better make up for lost time.

You're the ace of that team. Time to make up for what you missed.

Absolutely.

I'll do my best.

Good.

Just get it together, seriously.

How do you manage to rank last

every month, quarter, year, and product category?

It's not like you're some kind of killer group.

What's the point of us busting our asses downstairs

when a team dragging down the average gets to sit pretty upstairs?

Go on up.

- Enjoy your rabbit food. - Yeah.

Go.

Shall I schedule a meeting?

[Not Today]

- Good morning! - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning.

Hello.

What?

I heard you got a big one?

- It's nothing new, right? - Right.

"Musan Car Explosion Victim Identified As 10-time Convicted Drug Kingpin."

Wow, now that's a sexy headline.

Explosion, drugs.

Be honest with me, okay?

You just got lucky with this one, right?

Yeah.

Really? You really just got lucky? By coincidence?

Bae Doo Hyuk...

He worked with an international drug ring to manufacture and distribute drugs.

A former gangster with ten prior convictions for murder solicitation and violence.

And this guy just happened to, on the exact day you went to Musan...

His last crime was aggravated assault,

for which he got three years, and he was released two months ago.

The moment he got out, he went down to Musan and started causing trouble...

And after running wild like that, on the very day you went to Musan...

- Bang! - Wow, you scared me.

- He's dead. - What's this?

What on earth is this?

Do you really think this was just an accident?

Or is it more likely someone killed him and staged it as an accident?

Hey, you went after the drug kingpin yourself all the way there?

You're insane. You still haven't come to your senses.

You did the same thing years ago, remember? You almost got yourself killed.

That... What was it? Kingfisher.

You almost got killed by Kingfisher's bullet. Ah, really.

- Breaking news. - What is it?

- A shooting using a sniper rifle - What's that?

has occurred in the heart of Seoul.

- Some speculate that Kingfisher, - Speak of the devil, is that it?

the infamous serial gun killer who disappeared for the past four years,

- may have returned. - Turn it up.

The incident took place at a hotel in Jeonjak-dong, Seoul.

[Breaking News: Kingfisher Returns?] A man in his thirties,

[Shooting Homicide in Seoul] identified as Mr. Hwang,

was struck and killed by a bullet fired from outside the building.

For more details, we'll soon connect live to our reporter on the scene

for the latest on the police investigation.

The incident took place at a hotel in Jeonjak-dong, Seoul.

A man in his thirties, identified as Mr. Hwang,

was struck and killed by a bullet fired from outside the building.

[Jeonjak-dong Hotel] Considering the use of a sniper rifle

[Kingfisher Sniper Incident] and the victim's criminal history,

police see this as the first such case

since the Haegong-dong boarding house case four years ago...

Mom, thanks for the meal.

Okay, hurry along.

Some speculate that Kingfisher,

- the infamous serial gun killer... - Sun Il, look at that.

They are keeping a close eye on the situation.

Tae Seong is going to be busy again.

Kingfisher is the nickname for a professional sniper killer

who has killed 93 people to date,

starting with the 2010 Semyung-dong shooting.

- Despite committing serious crimes, - Kwon Tae Seong!

criminals just received light sentences

- and were released. - Come in here.

The killings are characterized

by targeting criminals with high recidivism rates.

If this incident is confirmed to be the work of Kingfisher,

it would mean that the infamous serial killer

who once shook the nation has returned after four years,

causing another major shock and public concern.

Why would you hand that over to someone else? Why?

It's not about why. You know I'm already covering another case.

What? The drug kingpin case?

You think drugs matter right now?

When just the name 'Kingfisher' triples the viewership?

Besides, you're the reporter covering Kingfisher.

Who else would you give it to?

Come on, that was ages ago...

What happened to you?

You used to run out of the room the second you heard the name Kingfisher.

And now, after all these years, I'm in charge of investigative reporting...

Exactly. Investigative reporting.

So what is the one thing people are most curious about right now?

Isn't it why Kingfisher disappeared for four years and came back alive?

So you can dig deep into that!

Chief, that Bae Doo Hyuk

was a major figure who controlled half of Korea's drug supply and distribution.

There's a high chance this wasn't an accident but a murder.

Then who do you think is behind it?

That's exactly what I want to investigate. I'll really give it my all this time.

So you keep fighting too, Chief.

I'll get going.

Hey! Tae Seong!

Hey, Kwon Tae Seong!

Did he eat something weird? What's gotten into him?

[Reporter Kwon Tae Seong]

How badly did you handle the scene for the news to leak already?

A shooting happened in South Korea. You really think we can cover it up?

Are you sure it's Kingfisher?

It could be someone else. It could be a copycat crime, for instance.

Who would do that?

It's not just any gun. A sniper shot from 500 meters away?

I mean, besides that guy...

That punk was quiet for four years.

Why now, all of a sudden? And why our district of all places?

No need for a long explanation.

Can you catch him or not?

We'll investigate.

Good. If you're going to catch him, do it quickly.

If it looks impossible, wrap it up quietly when the time is right.

Don't make a big scene for no reason.

The higher-ups aren't expecting much anyway.

People considered the best of the best couldn't catch him for 16 years in 93 tries.

What makes us any different?

Even you, the ace of Violent Crimes, couldn't catch him once.

If we just drag our feet, he'll probably move on somewhere else soon.

Just until then...

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Hey, you handle the briefing too. Just wing it.

[Violent Crimes Team 1]

- You're here. - Yeah.

What are you doing?

I was curious why he's called Kingfisher, so I looked it up.

Wow, it just means "kingfisher" in Korean.

I seriously thought it was the kind of bird that shoots water guns or something.

But apparently, its beak is long and shaped almost like a sniper rifle.

It perches way up high.

The moment it spots prey, it shoots into the water like a bullet...

Are you out of your mind?

Is this really the time for you to be wasting time on this nonsense?

I checked the CCTV center. Just as we thought, all footage was erased.

The witnesses inside the church were in choir practice at the time,

so they were all gathered in the main hall and didn't see anything.

The singing was so loud that they didn't hear anything either.

Choir?

What about the people who drove, the ones with dashcams?

I already asked about that.

There were seven people who drove to the church that day.

But the above-ground parking lot was closed off,

so they all parked underground.

But the church says they never blocked the above-ground parking lot.

Of course, they didn't. Someone else must have.

Yeah, someone else...

What? What do you mean, someone else?

- Come with me. - What?

Study all the Kingfisher case files by tomorrow.

Memorize every single detail.

Got it?

Wait, all this in one day?

This isn't even cramming for an exam.

I'll test you.

Yes, sir!

Good luck.

[The Kingfisher Case Files]

When did he even collect all of this?

[About Kingfisher,] Sniper attacks

[are we not catching him,] are one of the most difficult crimes

[or can we not catch him?] to investigate and solve.

There are usually no clues left behind at the crime scene,

such as fingerprints, footprints, or DNA.

It's also extremely difficult to determine where the shot was fired from.

And even if we take the time to find it,

any traces that may have been left at the sniper's position

will already be gone.

It's been a long time since I've seen this on the news.

It'll probably be all over the news for days.

By the way, everything's okay, right?

You know what Bo Na's like. Don't worry.

Well, I'm not worried or anything, but... why was her leg shaking?

What about you, Team Leader?

Hey, my leg wasn't shaking. It just cramped up for a second.

Fine. Honestly, as the team leader, I was a little concerned.

It's been four years since Director Yoo had her baby.

Even athletes worry that they won't be the same after taking just a year off.

I wondered if she might be getting tired or feeling nervous...

What if she made a mistake?

She said it gave her chills.

Chills?

It was creepy too.

The great Yoo Bo Na?

Wow, this place really hasn't changed.

How do you even breathe, eat, and sleep here?

When was your last health checkup? Do you ever even go home?

You're here? That was quite a greeting.

Pulled another all-nighter, huh? What were you tinkering with all night?

The boss wanted me to make something flow smoothly, like this and that.

So I made it, but I was looking for one more source.

Oh, really?

So I played around with it like this and that.

And turns out it's a flying fly. The fly just kind of...

You changed your gear a bit?

Oh, you noticed? That's Yoo Bo Na for you.

It's a bit lighter and has less vibration.

The ammunition must have changed too.

It's fine. It only took a few months.

- Do you like it? - Yeah.

Thanks to you, it was much better.

My kid has grown so much lately. She's 16 kilograms now.

My gift for your comeback.

Yes, Miss! What? What is it?

What?

Wait, you mean what made Director Yoo nervous was because of her child?

Yul sleeps well, and this morning...

Was Director Yoo in there? Without even wearing a mask?

Could you let me video call her? I'll try talking to her.

Yeah, I'll set it up.

Yul!

Oh, my Yul! Why don't you want to take a nap?

All your friends are sleeping. Why don't you?

A monster appeared in my dream, and I'm scared.

Oh, a monster appeared in your dream? Is that what happened?

Should I sing your favorite Baby Shark's My Dream Is a Superhero?

You know all the monsters run away when we sing that song, right?

Alright, good!

Okay, I'm starting! Here we go.

♪ I'm going to be a superhero ♪

♪ I will save the whole wide world ♪

♪ Bang, bang, bang ♪

♪ My dream is to be a superhero ♪

How is it?

- That gives me chills. It's creepy too. - You like it?

So, the great Kingfisher has become a mom?

It's unfamiliar. It's very unfamiliar.

♪ I'm going to be a superhero ♪

♪ I will save the whole wide world ♪

♪ Bang, bang, bang ♪

♪ My dream is to be a superhero ♪

Detective Lee Dong Jin, you're here.

You must be working around the clock with such a major case

happening in your district.

Please have a seat over here.

Reporter Kwon Tae Seong, it's been a while.

You only come looking for me when something like this happens.

Sorry.

Hey, you're paying today.

Come on, people are watching. Sit down.

I already ordered. The most expensive one.

Looks expensive.

- Enjoy your meal. - Yeah.

Thank you.

Just get to the point. I have to head back right after I eat.

You always act like you're busy. I'm busy too.

You're covering the Kingfisher story, right? That's why you're here.

The juniors handle that stuff now. I've moved on.

You saw the news. It's exactly what it looks like.

Nothing more to tell you.

- No need to get you anything expensive. - Hey, that's mine. Eat yours.

Is it really the Kingfisher?

Oh, my, why does everyone ask me that the moment they see me?

If I answer, will you write it?

I told you I wouldn't.

- You won't? - I won't.

Why not?

You're the Kingfisher expert.

Now that I think about it, four years ago in Haegong-dong too...

Is it Kingfisher?

Well, the method and victim profiles are similar,

but it's still just speculation.

The weapon is different,

and the fact that he rarely carried out daytime shootings bothers me.

No, forget the official theory. What's your gut telling you?

One hundred percent Kingfisher.

I thought he retired four years ago.

Hey, what retirement does a killer have?

What are the differences between the case four years ago and this one?

You were at both scenes, so you'd know. Anything, even a small detail.

Like, you found anything at the shooting site...

You're unbelievable. Did you come here knowing something?

You found something? What is it?

Baby Shark.

What?

A sticker.

What, a sticker?

Yeah.

I sent it to the NFS just in case, but they said there were no fingerprints,

and that it was something you could easily buy at most stores or online.

Which means every household in Korea with kids probably has one.

Dozens of Baby Sharks.

The sharks in our house even have babies.

Looks like Kingfisher is a Baby Shark fanatic just like my Yul.

Hey, this would blow up the views if I wrote about it.

This is good.

Yul, what did you play with Chae Won today?

[Baby Shark] We played with this sticker.

It's a Baby Shark sticker!

Should I stick one on you too? This one?

Should I put one on? Where should I put it?

Mommy is the mommy shark.

Mommy shark?

This makes my clothes look even prettier.

So what did you put on today?

- Baby Shark. - You put on a Baby Shark?

This one is cute too. It looks like you.

Yul!

Daddy!

My little precious!

Come here, my big precious.

Honey, why are you home so early? Aren't you busy?

I am busy. But today, in the middle of all that,

I had a sudden realization that I missed my wife so much!

What could I do then? I had to run right over.

Really? Why did you miss me so much today?

You did something wrong, right?

What would I have done wrong? It's not like that, really.

I really just wanted to see you, so I came. Seriously.

Then we must be connected by telepathy. I really missed you today too.

Really?

Yeah.

What is it? Something happened today, didn't it?

What do you mean? I'm just tired from the business trip yesterday.

Since we're already out, should we grab dinner before going home?

Yeah! Chicken! Chicken!

Yul, do you want chicken?

Should we go to Grandma's and eat chicken?

Grandma's chicken is the best!

Let's go.

Let's go eat chicken.

Enjoy your meal!

- Let me know if you need anything. - Grandma, Auntie!

Pretty Yul is here.

What brings you here at this hour?

Oh, my, our pretty Yul is here?

My son is here!

Hey, come out here for a sec.

Why is it so hard to see you these days?

Oh, my, my little Yul!

Yul, say hello to Grandma. Give her a big greeting.

Hello, Grandma.

Good girl!

But what brings you here? Did you come straight from work?

We ran into each other near home, and Yul said she wanted chicken.

Oh, did you?

- Then come sit down. Sit down. - Sit down.

I will fry up the most delicious chicken for my Yul!

Okay.

Since you're here anyway, stay and eat.

But it's not good for children or adults to eat takeout food too often.

People who work outside all day should come home to a warm homemade meal.

It was me who wanted it.

Okay, Mother.

I was the one who asked...

Welcome!

- Sun Il, I should've done that. Sorry. - Oh, please, sit down.

Hey, hold it in today.

Mom's finally in a good mood after a while. Don't ruin it.

Why? Why is Mom in a good mood?

The landlord said they'd freeze the rent again.

Other shops raise their rent every year, but ours hasn't changed for years.

She was bragging about it to everyone.

That's really kind of the landlord. It's not easy to do that these days.

Such an angel.

We're busy right now, so wait just a little.

Wait just a moment, Yul.

Okay.

I'm back!

Bo Na, you're here?

Auntie!

Oh, my! Our cute Yul is here?

Did you just finish a delivery?

Yeah. Is it some special day?

We got a bunch of delivery orders all at once.

You said you'd drink water, so drink up.

By the way, why are you here at this hour? Aren't you busy?

I heard Kingfisher showed up.

That was ages ago. That's not my thing anymore.

What about you? So, how have you been?

Seriously, what have you been hearing all this time?

Same old, same old.

I mean, I do have a social position as a graduate student.

But to Mom, that's the same as being an unemployed bum.

- Ah, seriously... - That's why

I keep telling you to hire part-timers.

How can we afford to hire people and pay them?

Family members have to work hard together.

You exploit your daughter for cheap labor. You're a terrible employer!

A terrible employer.

All you do is talk.

You know your sister-in-law went back to work, right?

- Yeah. - If you look after Yul sometimes,

I might, you know, increase your allowance.

Really?

Of course, I'd do anything for our Yul even without allowance!

But if you offer, I'll gladly accept.

- I'll chip in too. Please help us. - Done!

Bo Na, how is it being back at work? Do you like it?

Oh, there's no way it could be good. Is the work manageable?

[Tae Seong Chicken] Oh, dear.

Why are you sitting in the customer's seat? Hurry and go deliver.

How is he a customer?

The deliveries are piling up.

Then at least pay me more.

I'll be back.

Did he go to prison for another crime?

Was he seriously injured or sick?

A vacation... A leave of absence?

You've been saying that since earlier.

What? Is being a murderer a job? Retirement, leave of absence, vacation?

He could've gotten married, started a family, and had kids, like me.

Even Kingfisher could get married, unlike you...

Watch what you say. There's a gun at the station.

Hey, that's disgusting! Hey!

That's why you should get married, idiot.

Stop living alone like some pathetic loser.

Fine, let's say your ridiculous theory is true.

If he got married, built a family, and had a kid, why come back?

Why not just keep living that life?

Because he couldn't stand not killing people?

Or what, because he's some hero who wants attention?

Or maybe because life got boring?

Why are you asking me? Ask him yourself when you catch him.

And ask him if he's really a Baby Shark fanatic too.

- Hey, you. - Hey, who knows?

That sticker might really have been a clue.

You never know.

Daddy, it's good.

Is it good?

I think it's delicious too.

Yul, you can do this, right?

I'll give it to you.

Is it good?

Yul, you learned how to do this, right?

You're a big girl now, so you can do it, right?

[Yoo Bo Na's Relationship Chart]

[Durumi Electronics Sales Team 3, Killer Group]

You're already awake? It's still early.

I had a bad dream.

I woke up and got scared because you weren't there.

A bad dream? What kind of dream?

A dream where someone took you away.

Who? Who took me?

A monster.

What? What is that?

It's real. In my dream, a really scary monster took you away.

You're in big trouble now.

No, maybe I'm the one who's in trouble. I can't live without you.

Then I guess I should sing Baby Shark's Superhero for you.

Apparently, it's the perfect weapon against monsters.

- Really? - Yeah.

Sing it.

Sing it for me.

Go back inside and get some more sleep. I'll take Yul to daycare today.

Let's just stay like this for one minute.

[Durumi Electronics]

Good morning!

[Security Alert]

Hey, when did Tae Min leave without saying anything?

[Unregistered Entrant Detected] What, he brought someone with him?

She's finally here! Our team's newbie!

Wow!

[Bong Tae Min]

[Not Today]

What? The case has been...

The case has been closed?

Just a moment.

The investigation is already over?

What about the NFS results? Did they come out?

They did come out, but there was nothing significant.

[Bae Doo Hyuk Car Explosion Case]

It has been classified as an accidental death.

An accidental death?

So you're saying it wasn't murder, but an accident?

Wow, our new employee brought this on her first day.

She's got great taste, right?

Yeah.

Then we should do proper introductions.

As I've mentioned before,

this is our new team member who will be working with us, Ms. Oh Hyun Nam.

Nice to meet you. I look forward to working with you.

Welcome!

Same here. It's nice to meet you.

Oh, Ms. Hyun Nam has been working alone as a freelancer until now,

so this is her first time working in a team and company environment.

Please help her out.

Let me properly introduce everyone on our team.

This is Assistant Manager Yang Ye Sol.

Her job is forging all kinds of documents.

- How well? - Perfectly.

[Business Trip Application] Please come to me

for anything related to paperwork.

[Destination: Musan, Reason: Client Meeting]

Alright.

You startled me.

Were you there the whole time? That's Manager Bong Tae Min.

We don't call him Manager Bong, though.

We call him Manager Tae or Manager Tae Min.

He handles the cutting-edge equipment there.

Well, that guy...

Is he kept isolated separately?

Isolated? Well, yeah. It's more of self-isolation.

None of us likes going into that room.

You'll understand later.

It's simple. No need for a long explanation.

A portable LPG gas canister, burned completely black,

was found in the trunk of Bae Doo Hyuk's car.

It turns out the valve was slightly open.

This is...

better known as Dr. Go.

His job is making any death look like a medical accident.

How well?

Perfectly.

I'm a real doctor.

The driver is going to the restroom.

Assistant Manager Ki Yeong Do.

Oh, he can do anything with computers. He's our team's genius hacker.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Kim Bong Pal,

the leader of Sales Team 3.

My last name is actually Kim, but everyone just calls me Team Leader Bong.

What I do is...

You're saying there are absolutely no signs of foul play?

If someone put the gas tank in there or deliberately opened the valve...

Then there should've been footage of it.

But we checked all the CCTV outside the club

and all the dashcam footage from the parking lot, and there's nothing.

It was pure luck. A miracle.

Well, there's usually a separate driver.

But that day the driver had a sudden stomach problem.

Well, as for the gas tank, Bae Doo Hyuk must've put it there himself.

You know where Bae Doo Hyuk was going?

His girlfriend was waiting for him at a nearby villa.

Maybe they were planning to have a barbecue together or something.

At least it happened in a quiet suburban area.

If it had happened downtown...

Oh, dear.

Quiet location. Good.

Once the taxi is more than 100 meters away, we'll go.

Now, client meeting starts.

Meeting clear.

Rest in peace. I can't tell you to be reborn.

Whether they die or survive, I make it all look like an accident.

How well? Perfectly.

Simply put, you could say he died an unfortunate death.

What a fate...

Isn't something a little strange?

Everything lines up perfectly. Like someone planned the whole thing.

Bae Doo Hyuk wasn't just involved in drugs.

He was known for framing his underlings for murders he ordered.

It's a known fact in that world.

Who knows how many other crimes he got away with?

Exactly my point. Which is why it is even more...

He was such a piece of work.

Honestly, a guy like him getting gunned down by the Kingfisher is just unsurprising.

Well, detectives speak with evidence,

and you, the reporter, should write with facts.

With everyone already worked up over Kingfisher, who would even care?

Anyway, we've closed the case, so just know that.

And don't call me again.

Hello...

But public sentiment is different.

Because he only targets the worst criminals,

some people are becoming obsessed with Kingfisher.

The Kingfisher fan club already has over a million members.

He targets the worst of the worst,

especially those who escaped proper punishment,

so isn't it natural that people frustrated with the flawed justice system

are drawn to him?

A powerful hero who punishes evil in place of a powerless law.

Lastly, our ace.

The face of Sales Team 3, Director Yoo Bo Na.

As for Director Yoo...

I know who she is.

It's an honor to meet you, Kingfisher.

The pleasure's mine, Ms. Oh Hyun Nam.

Let's work well together from now on.

"Together"?

Yeah, let's work well together.

Where's my desk?

Oh, right here. Next to Assistant Manager Ki.

All right, everyone. Back to work.

Oh, right.

I forgot to tell you what I do.

Oh, you're right.

I handle poisonings.

Slip poison into food or drinks, and no one ever knows perfectly.

So, how about pork belly with water dropwort for tonight's team dinner?

Water dropwort is great for detoxing.

Then make the arrangements.

- Yeah, I'll book the place. - Good.

I've finished the article, so it's fine.

I'll take care of Yul, so don't worry and enjoy yourself.

It's your welcome-back dinner too. The guest of honor can't miss it.

Then I'm counting on you tonight.

When you get home, wash Yul's hands and feet first, okay?

And there's curry and beef radish soup in the fridge...

I can handle it.

Okay, lecture over! I'll call you when we're wrapping up.

See you later.

[Musan Drug Kingpin's Car Explosion Ruled an Accident]

That's over, I see.

Yeah, well, for now.

"For now"? Does that mean there's a second step?

Forget it. From now on, you're going after Kingfisher, right?

"What did he do for 4 years, and why did he come back without dying?"

Well, something more in-depth.

I'll get going.

Oh, leaving already?

Where to first? The NFS? The crime scene? The police station?

No. I'm picking up my daughter.

- Your daughter? - My wife is running late today.

Oh, boy.

I'll get going then.

Hey, Tae Seong, you punk!

Well, what's gotten into him?

One bottle of soju, please!

Dig in, everyone.

Yeah.

Director Yoo, don't you ever get to eat meat at home or...

We're more of a chicken family. This pork is really amazing.

The best part about coming back to work is definitely the company dinners.

Absolutely. Team dinners are the best part of office life.

That's true.

- Alright. - Cheers!

Sales Team 3, fighting!

- Fighting! - Cheers!

This is so good.

Good, huh?

Want a drink, Ms. Yoo?

Oh, no!

- Don't. - I'll just smell it.

Director Yoo hasn't touched alcohol since she got married.

Honestly, that's for the best. She gets pretty wild when she drinks.

By the way, I was really surprised.

I heard that Hyun Nam is the developer of that famous 'Mist'?

Exactly.

Now that Director Yoo is back

and someone as talented as Hyun Nam has joined us,

Sales Team 3 is basically the Avengers now, right?

Absolutely.

By the way, what exactly is 'Mist'?

I guess you don't know about it, Assistant Manager Yang.

Gather around.

Mist is the name of the poison that's claimed the most lives

in recent years.

It's about 10,000 times more toxic than arsenic

and roughly 100 times more potent than tetrodotoxin.

No autopsy will ever detect a trace of it.

By then, it naturally breaks down and leaves almost no trace in the body.

What do you think? Perfectly, right?

For our line of work, it's the perfect poison.

That's incredible!

How did you create something like that?

Well, it just happened.

"Well, it just happened."

But I'm curious.

With skills like yours, you could've stayed independent.

Why join this team?

Hold on.

Oh, Director Yoo!

I have a debt to repay.

What did you do today, Yul?

Ta-da!

I drew Mommy and Daddy, and Yul.

Wow, that's a great drawing, Yul!

But why did you draw Daddy better?

Because Yul loves Daddy more, right?

No, Yul loves Mommy more, right? You love Mommy more, don't you?

No. I love both Mommy and Daddy.

I love Yul too. Love you! Heart!

I'll be home soon.

See you later, Mommy!

So cute.

It's a shame no one else gets to see it, Kingfisher.

You're having all the fun by yourself.

Don't worry. No one would believe it anyway.

Who'd ever imagine the infamous Kingfisher is a married mom?

Hyun Nam, do you have Mist?

No, not the drinkable kind, the spray kind. My clothes smell like pork barbecue.

Got any?

Oh, gosh.

A lot of people would be disappointed.

You're practically worshiped as a hero.

If they found out you're living such an ordinary family life...

You think so?

Have you ever wished you could go back to your old life?

Even married women say they think that sometimes.

Like wanting to go back to the carefree, glamorous days of being single.

Not at all. I like my life now.

Because everything that matters to me is right here.

I see.

Then why did you come back?

You could've just kept living that happy little life.

Then why did you join this team, Hyun Nam?

Did you come here to see me?

Well, it just seemed like you've been watching me all night.

I wondered if you were my fan. Or maybe an anti-fan?

They say former fans make the scariest haters.

That's a little childish.

Oh Hyun Nam, everyone makes choices.

Those choices shape a person's life.

Everyone makes what they believe is the best choice

because their life matters to them.

And I think those choices deserve respect.

I'm not here to listen to lectures...

Just like it was your own choice to do this work and join this company.

No one forced you in or pushed you out, right?

If you're looking to play hero, you've come to the wrong place.

That's for Baby Sharks.

Not us.

What if...

What would you do if you lost the things that matter most to you?

I don't know.

I've never thought about it.

Because I don't believe that will ever happen.

[Caller ID Restricted: I'd like to provide a tip about Kingfisher]

May I take your order?

One iced Americano, please.

Are you going to be late today? I'm finishing early today.

Really?

I just have one meeting with an informant, and then I'll be done too.

Then how about we go on a date for a change?

Se Ah said she'll watch Yul. Guess she could use a little spending money.

Of course, it's okay with me. As expected, the power of pocket money!

Thanks!

Alright!

Today is your last chance to take it easy, so head home early.

And you all know vacation days are off the table for a while, right?

So get some rest while you can.

Good work. Get home safely.

Yes, sir.

But Oh Hyun Nam is something else.

Taking a personal day on her second day of work.

She must've had something urgent.

Let's let it slide this time.

Yeah.

Go home, everyone.

[Honey, I've arrived. When will you get here? Where are you, Tae Seong?]

[New Message]

Well, Assistant Manager Ki, why are you still here?

What have you been working on all day?

I figured out why Oh Hyun Nam joined our team.

What are you talking about?

Oh, Director Yoo!

Ms. Yoo, you came just in time.

- Oh Hyun Nam... - Please track where this message came from.

As fast as you can.

What is this? What's going on? What about Oh Hyun Nam?

See if you can find me. But come alone.

If you're not here before eight, whatever happens is on you.

It's for Bo Na.

She came to meet her.

What do you mean?

[Archived Portraits] Oh Hyun Nam. Real name, Oh Seung Ah.

Fifteen years ago, in winter,

Oh Seung Ah's dad, Oh Man Seok, was released from prison.

He went straight to see his daughter.

That Christmas night,

Bo Na killed Oh Seung Ah's dad.

Right in front of her.

So...

Oh Hyun Nam deliberately joined Sales Team 3

to get close to Director Yoo and avenge her dad's death?

Sometimes I wondered if that day would ever come.

That someone might find me.

That someone might come looking for me.

Who?

I hope it doesn't happen.

Where's Kwon Tae Seong?

You ignored the photos,

but the second I touched your husband, you came running, huh?

Where is he? I won't ask a third time.

This is called Mist S.

Drink 3 milliliters, and in about five minutes you'll fall asleep.

A sleep you'll never wake up from.

I gave Kwon Tae Seong 6 milliliters.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you have any idea how much that stuff costs?

What's the price on your head? Want in on this bill too?

If he doesn't get the antidote within the next hour, he'll die.

You know exactly what that means, right?

What do you want?

Do you know who I am?

I do.

You do?

I knew you'd figure it out.

Or is that the work of that rude hacker?

I know exactly who you are.

Do you want to kill my husband?

Then kill me too.

Under no circumstances

can we meet with anyone other than the client.

Because you messed with someone you never should have.

Things had been quiet for a while.

- They said they saw Kingfisher? - You're about to see

another side of Kingfisher.

You know the whole sales team workshop is scheduled, right?

There's a strong possibility their base of operations is somewhere nearby.

These punks are crossing the line.

It's 300 million won per head!

I think we're really going to die.

Why isn't Mommy answering?

Mom and Dad...

Director Yoo is awake.

Never lose their dignity...

Those darn flies won't stop buzzing.

Maybe I should go deal with them.
