I don't care about any of that. Just tell me one thing.

Did you kill my parents?

Myo Jin! Do you miss your parents?

You won't rest till there's blood, will you?

If you want your revenge,

you need to get your head on straight first!

You have one too.

- A secret. - I'm sorry. I was selfish.

- Your revenge... - Remember what you said!

However bad your accident was, it's not something you just forget.

(Kidnapping)

Gosh.

Hey, give me that.

This works like a charm.

- Yeong Gu, order a case of this. - Yes, boss.

What do you mean you can't reach her?

That's strange. She's usually home by now.

Since when has she not been answering?

Well...

So you haven't even tried calling her this whole time?

Not until I just called you?

I'll try calling her right now.

You were supposed to watch Myo Jin, so where has your head been?

She's missing, and you're saying you know nothing?

This is a first for me too.

So, what? Am I meant to track her every move?

She wanders off on her own and won't answer my calls,

so why are you taking it all out on me?

She didn't even have a hospital appointment today!

But if she went out anyway, you should've followed her!

You should've known where she went!

Or at least set a curfew for her!

All right, I get it.

I'll go downtown and look for her. Happy now?

Man, this was so simple. Why did I waste my time?

Looks like my housekeeping gig is over.

I'm going to get canned by Ryu Jun Ho, aren't I?

Boss, that guy over there...

Who is that? Is that the same jerk as before?

What is that?

Hey, Yeong Gu.

What on earth is that jerk holding?

Boss! It's a hammer!

- What on earth... - Mr. An, long time no see.

What are you doing here?

What on earth?

Are you the head?

Yeong Gu, floor it!

Just like you said, Boss, I didn't kill him.

A woman is passed out in the car. What do you want me to do?

Did you do that?

No, sir. She was like that when I found her.

You looking for a little romance?

No, thanks. She's not my type.

If you've got nothing better to do, go load this up, you jerk!

Understood.

(Joan Partners)

(Joan Partners)

- Excuse me, how can I help you? - I'm here to see the CEO.

Sir, you have a visitor.

What did I tell you about interrupting me when I'm working?

I do apologize.

I apologize for barging in, but something urgent has come up.

Director An?

For a second, I was worried it was about a construction issue.

The gallery construction is going smoothly,

and I'm confident you'll be more than satisfied with the result.

I see I've disturbed your work.

My apologies.

I can be a bit blunt, so I tend to make these mistakes.

Not at all.

I was hoping to get your advice on something.

It's about a friend of mine in the same industry.

My friend is in a bit of a bind.

For you to come all the way here in person,

you two must be very close.

Yes.

We go way back to college.

He's very introverted, so I'm worried about him.

By all means, ask away.

My friend has an important project presentation coming up,

and he got some discreet help from a superior, you see.

But the other side found out.

Well, he won't say for sure,

but I think he's taken a hit because of it.

He's a close friend, and it's hard to see him so worried.

I was trying to figure out how to help,

and I figured it'd be best to ask a respected senior in the industry.

It's not an ideal situation,

but this sort of thing happens in the shadier side of business.

I know you feel bad for your friend,

but it's best not to get involved in these situations.

Even if you step in,

you'll almost never get any real results.

Is that so?

Of course.

Your friend overplayed his hand,

and there's no need for you, Director An,

to be the one to clean up his mess.

Frankly, it's not even possible.

The other party isn't just going to sit back and take it.

But there's one thing my friend doesn't know.

The other side is also using some serious underhanded tactics.

They're taking a veteran assemblyman golfing on a nice day,

and even took on the construction of his daughter's gallery.

They're really pulling out all the stops.

Materially and otherwise, with great passion.

I think I might know...

who this "friend" of yours is.

Mr. Jo.

Should we quietly mind our business at this point,

or would it be better to have a knock-down, drag-out fight?

I honestly have no idea.

What do you think would be best?

I have an appointment, so I must be going.

Please halt construction on the gallery.

I'll wire funds for costs incurred so far this afternoon.

Darn it.

(Jigu Electronics)

I got paid in full,

and I did the work I was paid for. That's that.

I mean, everyone has their own life to live.

So I should just stop overthinking it.

Darn it.

("Psychology and Crime")

Who do I think I am, meddling in other people's lives?

Whatever! They can figure it out themselves!

Forget it.

It's hot!

Sang Ho...

If you draw your gun, you must shoot even a rotten pumpkin.

Blackmail, fraud, extortion, and even assaulting a retired cop.

Does it make any sense to let a guy like that walk?

(Wang Gi Cheol)

(None of those rich jerks are any good.)

(Come on, what are you so scared of?)

You trust me, right?

Don't be like that. Just think about it.

The one who's always sticking so close to Jun Ho,

that leech, Myo Jin. We just need to get rid of her.

Before that wench sucks him dry.

I'm warning you.

Leave her alone.

Ham Myo Jin...

also has another motive?

(No recording file)

Goodness!

You scared me.

You finally came to?

What happened to me?

You don't remember?

Everyone was going crazy yesterday after you just disappeared.

Why would you just wander off like that without telling me?

It's a good thing your phone has a GPS tracker.

So Jun Ho was barely able to find you.

Thank goodness for that tracker.

- I'm sorry. - Why go somewhere so dangerous?

It's a redevelopment zone. It's totally deserted now.

Everyone moved.

I don't remember anything.

You really have no idea what you were doing there?

No, I really don't.

I wonder if anyone saw you then.

They said there are still a few families who haven't moved.

Jun Ho said so.

Tell me where you're going. Send me a text or something.

Jun Ho was ready to kick me out. I had to beg just to calm him down.

I'm so sorry.

I'm partly to blame too. I shouldn't have left you alone.

So, where is Jun Ho now?

You should try calling him.

He'll come rushing over the second he hears you're awake.

- Okay. - Anyway, get some rest.

You need to eat something.

I'll go get you something.

Come on, pick up.

- The number is unavailable... - Darn it.

(Idiot Woo Sik)

Darn it.

It's always something with him.

Is this jerk a little slow or something?

- The number is unavailable... - Darn it.

Rise and shine, you kidnapper jerk.

Perfect timing. It's your turn.

Wait, hold on.

If I've done something to offend you...

Hey, if you don't know, how am I supposed to know?

We don't have time for this.

Boss, I don't think this jerk's thinking straight...

after the beating he took.

Hello?

Do you know how many Chinese clients came by today and just left?

All those wealthy clients from China!

You turned away a gold mine that walked right through the door,

and you have the nerve to call this business, you idiot?

You useless piece of trash.

I deserve to die. Please, just let me live.

All you scammers say the same darn thing.

It goes in one ear and out the other.

I bet you felt great ripping off all those innocent people.

A pathetic piece of trash like you...

is the one who conned my little brother?

Give me every cent you have, and then disappear quietly.

So, what do you do with all that money?

Does it feel good, pocketing cash behind your partner?

I have something to tell you.

I just do what I'm told. Someone else takes all the money.

I have nothing. They took control of my bank accounts and everything.

- You're full of nonsense. - Just kill him.

No, it's true! I just scrape by running a small bar,

and I just got tangled up in all this.

Everything I make, that monster of a boss takes it all.

Your boss must be loaded then.

Right now, she's latched onto some crazy woman.

Her husband's a construction tycoon, you see.

She's plotting with the husband to get rid of her as we speak.

A rich jerk trying to kill his own wife?

And your boss is in on it?

She's as vicious as they come.

She'll probably score big from this and then skip the country.

And then I'll never get my money.

Where's your boss?

So you're saying that jerk has Hae Sik's money?

Yes, that's right.

So if we find your boss,

we can get the money right away?

Absolutely. Come with me, and from those two jerks,

I'll get your brother's money back,

plus interest and damages. All of it.

I can prove it to you right now, over the phone.

If I'm lying in the slightest,

you can have my cash, and do whatever you want with me.

I'll even write it in blood!

Do it.

I don't have time for this, so whether she picks up or not,

you get one shot.

Right.

You, go find some plastic sheeting.

- Yes, sir. - I'll get blood on my clothes.

Ria...

What do you think you're doing?

Hiding in a hole for a few days? Guess you're finally ashamed.

Whatever. I'm done working with you,

so bring me back all the money you took.

Gosh, you must've really been shaken up.

This is the result of not listening and jumping the gun.

Shut it and give me my money!

Money? You've got to be kidding me.

You never listen to me. Do you ever get anything right?

Hand over my bankbook and seal while I'm still asking nicely.

I said give me the money you stole, you thieving wench!

Cut the nonsense, Woo Sik.

All right, let me spell it out for you again.

You ran from gambling debts, and I'm why you eat. How dare you?

Hey, I explicitly told you to run!

You messed everything up, and now you want money?

Your bankbook? You want your seal back?

Keeping them was a stroke of genius.

Your boss is a woman?

Yes.

The history of metal is the history of humanity.

It's an undeniable fact.

Humanity's great achievements were only possible thanks to metal.

Even in this small phone,

are aluminum, cobalt, tin, and palladium.

A surprising number of metals are an integral part of our lives.

For this museum, I want to invite a stranger called metal.

I've reconsidered the use of metal, once seen as structural support.

People from all over the country who will visit this museum...

are themselves strangers, with their own cultures and tongues.

Just as music is a language that unites the global village,

metal has also long been a common language for humanity.

A pairing that seems incongruous, but is in fact harmonious.

This meeting of metal and music...

along with the strangers who will visit this museum,

will forge new unity and fusion. I am sure of it.

My theme is Unfamiliar, yet Familiar.

A museum is not a new kind of space.

People may not find them familiar, but they think they know them well.

So, even without visiting, they think they know what's inside...

and can predict the experience they'll have there.

This place that is neither new nor inspiring.

Why do people visit it?

Why must we build such a space, a museum, again now?

I felt I needed to contemplate the reasons why.

Memory.

The memories people will encounter here.

People come here to find memories they'll want to cherish forever.

The more brilliantly their memories of the content here shine,

the more likely they are to return. That is why a museum...

must give people beautiful memories...

that they will never forget.

The theme of my design...

is A Place for Memories.

May I ask a question?

Do you personally have a memory as powerful...

as the concept you just described?

One you'd want to incorporate into this very museum?

I can take it.

Just tell me.

The results aren't good.

The results show terminal pancreatic cancer.

It's already metastasized throughout your body,

so surgery is no longer an option.

I have to ask, is there a reason you waited so long to see a doctor?

I was just busy.

How much time do I have left?

Three months at the most.

But realistically, it'll likely be less.

I'm very sorry,

but you should tell your loved ones as soon as you can.

In your condition, we can't tell what could happen or when,

so it's better for you if you do.

And stop drinking alcohol.

You need to at least manage the pain for the time you have left.

You're going to need stronger painkillers.

I'll write you a prescription.

While you're at it,

make them the strong stuff.

And give me a lot.

It's not like I'll be seeing you again, Doctor.

(Profile)

Brown architecture scholar, with a minor in economics.

Came to Korea and founded Mono Architecture.

The Young Architect Award.

Gosh, he won it two years in a row.

The guy's on the fast track. Must not have a worry in the world.

But sir, don't you think it's a little too convenient?

That Ryu Jun Ho left the country right before the villa accident?

Come on, he was in Germany on the day of the accident.

We have his immigration records. You can't ask for a better alibi.

But the chief tells us to ignore it. Unbelievable.

The chief has a point, though.

Honestly, if those two planned it, they could pull off anything.

Besides, the woman has an airtight case of amnesia.

Man, they're untouchable.

Whatever.

Ryu Jun Ho, Ham Myo Jin. What I'm more curious about...

is why they're still living together through all this.

Business partners?

Or a love story defying all odds?

They must know that staying together makes them look more suspicious.

I just don't get why they're doing it.

So then, why are we going to see Ryu Jun Ho now?

We have to find out, don't we?

If it's business...

or a love story.

- You've reached your destination. - What? This is it?

This guy really must be loaded.

I know you're busy, so thank you for making time for us.

Of course. I'm happy to help however I can.

As part of the investigation,

I may have to ask some questions that are a bit uncomfortable.

I appreciate your understanding in advance.

I'll do my best.

Regarding the time and place of Ham Myo Jin's accident,

what are your thoughts?

Do you find the situation plausible?

I'm curious about that myself why Myo Jin was there at that hour.

But we haven't discussed it yet.

For someone who lost her memory from the accident and in treatment,

it would only...

cause her even more trauma.

So you're saying you'll ask her, depending on how her recovery goes?

The best-case scenario...

is that your investigation reveals the truth.

You're right. That would be the proper way of looking at it.

I also need to ask you a few things about the incident at the villa.

You and the late Choi Hee Soo were engaged quite early on, I see.

- It was what Hee Soo wanted. - When we first visited your home,

why didn't you mention you knew the late Choi Hee Soo?

It's the kind of thing that could easily be misunderstood.

Are you asking about my personal life now?

Weren't you there that day to investigate Myo Jin's accident?

That's true. However,

this is a question I must ask you now.

Fine.

You never know.

If you, Detective,

had questioned me with more tact and consideration that day,

perhaps...

the subject of Hee Soo would have come up.

Frankly, we find the situation quite concerning.

You were in a common-law marriage with the late Choi Hee Soo,

and now you're living with her friend,

Ham Myo Jin.

I see why you'd see it that way, Detective,

but we...

always respected the choices we made and genuinely supported one another.

The three of us...

Please don't view our relationship in such a suspicious light.

The day of the villa explosion... That was a special day, wasn't it?

- It was Hee Soo's birthday. - And yet, you went to Germany.

And you left the day right before her birthday.

I had no choice. It was for an academic conference.

- Be that as it may, how... - Detective. At this point,

I believe I have more than answered your "uncomfortable questions."

Weren't you here today to investigate Myo Jin's accident?

Sorry, something urgent has come up, so I have to leave.

If you have more to discuss, let's schedule another time.

All right. Thank you for your valuable time.

I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you again.

You must still have many questions.

The thing is,

unlike Chairman Choi Young Ho, who died in the fire, Choi Hee Soo...

was murdered by a stab wound to the neck.

Which means the villa incident was a murder disguised as a fire.

Murder?

Yes, that's correct.

Are you certain?

Based on the wound's location, depth, and pattern,

it was likely a murder motivated by a personal grudge.

The Forensic Service is re-examining all data from the accident scene,

so we expect to identify a suspect shortly.

I can't believe how much a person can change.

He's nothing like he was when we first met.

He can read us.

It's as if he knew when we'd show up and what we were going to ask.

But hearing Choi Hee Soo was murdered made him lose it.

It seems he didn't see that coming. I saw the color drain from his face.

So Ryu Jun Ho was putting on an act the first time we met.

Right?

Ham Myo Jin and Ryu Jun Ho.

They could both be faking it.

Ria sent this. She said you really have to see it.

I heard the head office contracted the country's best audit firm.

Vice Chairman ordered it, so we're obviously the target.

This design competition...

Do I really need it?

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

That I'm even thinking this now.

This is something worth staking your entire career on.

I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once this museum is completed,

you will be at the very top of your field.

My career as an architect...

I suppose it will be at the top.

It'll easily be.

(Wang Gi Cheol: The question is how long it will take...)

(Cafe owner: Myo Jin, thanks for everything.)

(Wang Gi Cheol: Chairman Choi is backing Jun Ho's business.)

From now on, I'll be scaling back your medication to the essentials.

And it's not just your test results.

Your condition is pretty much back to normal now.

I'm sure of it.

Something bigger is going on. Choi Hee Soo's case is child's play.

That jerk Lee Jong Su is egging on Wang Gi Cheol...

because he knows exactly how to extort money from Chairman Choi.

I'll catch the jerk who beat me and make him talk...

and get the whole story out of him.

This is the last one.

Seriously, just this one last job, and I'm out for good.

Seriously. This is really...

Gosh, just one last time.

(Security Desk)

Hello. Can I help you?

It's outside of visiting hours right now.

I'm an officer. I'm here on an urgent matter.

Where did I put it?

Could I see the patient, Lee Jong Su?

Even for the police, we don't allow unannounced visits.

- I'm sorry, but come back tomorrow. - I see.

Fair enough. How about the officer in his room?

Could you just put me through to him on the phone?

I just have instructions for him. Then I'll leave.

Okay.

This is the security desk.

Connect me to Lee Jong Su's officer in Room 8111.

One moment.

One moment, please. You'll be connected shortly.

Thank you.

Wait. Can I use the restroom real quick?

Really professional.

A bunch of slackers.

You've got it made, you jerk.

You're just in here, kicking back...

What?

Lee Jong Su.

- Lee Jong Su, stop right there! - Why that jerk...

- What's going on? - Get back here!

- Are you okay? - What was that?

That guy's supposed to be a patient?

Stop!

Darn it.

Faster!

Got you, you jerk.

- Gosh, he's biting me! - Scum.

Hurry.

Wait? What do I do? Just wait?

Sir?

Where are you coming from?

Is something wrong?

Hey, mister.

- Stop! Grab him! - Grab him!

Let me go!

Hey, what's all this about? What are you running from?

Please, that man was...

You jerk. You're dead meat!

There he is! That's the guy!

Stop right there!

Stop right there.

- Lee Jong Su! - Stop right there.

Tell me why. Why did you use Wang Gi Cheol...

to threaten Chairman Choi, Ham Myo Jin, and Ryu Jun Ho?

If you don't want a life sentence, you'll start talking now.

- Nonsense. You're no cop, are you? - Why you little jerk...

What? Why are you grabbing me? It's not me, it's him!

I said, grab him, not me!

That's him. He's the fake cop. Arrest him now.

He said he was going to kill me. Please, you have to help me.

- Don't worry. You're safe now. - Hey, you idiots!

Don't you see he's faking it? I'm telling you, he's your man!

Is this guy nuts? Go on, save it for the station.

I'll explain everything! Just grab him first, all right?

Arrest us both then! Take us in together!

- Who are you to order us around? - Together.

- Get him in the car. - No! It's not me!

It's not me! Let me go!

It's always a pleasure.

You're not like my other clients.

You seem to have a lot on your mind.

I'm sure coming all the way out here wasn't easy for you.

After today, I'll be out of contact for a while.

It's how I plan to resolve this. I hope you'll understand.

Will that be all right?

Our target is no pushover, so things could get rough.

I'll trust you to handle it.

Understood.

Don't stop.

Not until I tell you to.

What if he ends up dead?

So be it.

I told Jun Ho you were awake and resting.

Prickly Jun Ho said if you don't take your medicine properly...

No, he said if you're not well, I should pack my bags immediately.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

He's so exasperating.

You're probably the only one in the entire country...

who can make cold Jun Ho smile, be affectionate, or even just care.

Here, take this.

I have to give him a progress report.

This isn't the medicine I usually take.

I wouldn't know about that.

Jun Ho said he had your prescription changed at the hospital.

Something about how he went alone so you wouldn't have to.

Go on, take it.

I've done my part and given it to you.

No, that's not what I mean.

You know my gut has never been wrong.

Okay, fine, but...

I told you, Ham Myo Jin is completely back to normal.

So isn't it creepy that she's pretending not to be?

Listen, Mr. Ryu. You can be so dense.

She must be doing it because she's up to something.

How can you say that after seeing her text message?

Call the police. Get an order. Just get her away from us!

What trouble are you asking for, being with that woman?

I'm telling you, I saw it!

Just go straight up this way. You can't miss it.

A two-story gray house with a garage on the ground floor.

So what does your boss look like?

(Ria)

Here.

She's not my type either.

Why are you talking to a photo?

Do you know her?

No, sir.

So what now?

Did you already forget the plan?

I'll go take care of it.

What about her partner, that jerk?

What was his name again?

Oh, it's Ryu Jun Ho.

Ryu Jun Ho?

Bring him along too.

What do we need him for?

What if we grab the female boss, but he's the one with all the money?

Got it.

You going alone?

You coming too, boss?

Maybe I will.

Use him to lure her out, and bring her in quietly.

Me?

- What are you doing? - Right.

Hey.

This isn't our neighborhood. Don't make a scene.

I won't do anything you tell me not to, boss.

Go.

You talk nicely and get your boss to come out.

Try any funny business, and I'll kill every last one of you.

There she is.

She's my type. If we had the time, we could have a nice thing going.

Count yourself lucky and stop ripping people off.

But...

- What? - Take this, you scum!

Darn it!

Hey.

Hey! Did you really think...

you'd be safe after letting me live?

You annoying jerk.

Darn, why aren't they picking up?

Trying to call your buddies for help?

Darn it.

You piece of...

You scum!

Darn! Hey!

Get over here!

You jerk!

Let go! Let me go!

I'll kill you! Let go!

- That idiot. - Darn it!

Where do you think you're going?

- Hey, gosh! - You're a dead man!

She's definitely hiding something.

Please, just listen to me and call the police.

She doesn't belong in this house.

She belongs in a psych ward or prison.

Just hold on.

What, you're not even sorry for locking me up in this dump?

You know, the time I'm spending with Ham Myo Jin...

is way more than the time I spend with my supposed future husband.

(Reverse)

- Are you sure no one saw anything? - The thing is...

What's your plan now?

- Now it's my turn to make a move. - People like you and me...

are cruel and shameless.

Does Myo Jin even want to get treated?

I'll decide what happens with Myo Jin.

Did I kill Hee Soo?

When I told you not to cross the line...

- Did you forget? - I'll kill every last one.
