(9 years ago)

I am supposed to shoot you in the leg.

(Episode 15)

But it's my first time, so I'm not sure what will happen.

So why didn't you cooperate?

Who was it?

I can never tell you.

How could I ever trust all of you?

You must be that idiot.

I heard you had a fight with the NIS.

Headquarters turned upside down because of you.

Do you want to join the Violent Crime Division?

Sorry?

Park Jae Geun is the key lobbyist of the Eulji business scandal.

- Park Jae Geun. - He always makes use of actresses.

(An actress of A Actors)

Baek Soo Jung was one of them.

The actresses are all signed with A Actors.

The CEO is Yoon Hyung Sook,

Park Jae Geun's wife.

(Park Jae Geun)

What do you think? Do you get the picture?

Park and Yoon work hand-in-hand to coerce naive generals...

and sign these weapons deal.

The lobbying most likely...

takes place at the church Park Jae Geun goes to.

He has a private office on the third floor.

We'll have him arrested in no time once we get into that office.

Hey, newbie. Do you get what I'm talking about?

Yes, sir.

It'll be difficult to get a warrant for a church.

What should we do?

I have a plan.

A plan?

This operation is called The Secret Prayer Room.

Kang Yeo Joo was the one who wrote that article about it.

It was her?

But wasn't the reporter male?

I thought he died due to a car explosion.

They were together.

Rumor had it that they were engaged,

but it was never confirmed.

She and Baek Soo Jung knew each other for a long time.

But it was ill-fated.

Thanks to her article,

Soo Jung was pretty much exiled to the States.

Do you think she's linked to that Secret Prayer Room incident?

She's tangled in many cases right now.

Is she tangled in it,

or is she the mastermind?

That's your job. I'm not a cop.

Come on. Help me out. I'm dying here.

The reporters are camped out in front of our station every day.

And our team leader nags us for not catching the culprit.

I know how you guys feel.

All right. Eat up.

Here. It must be tough for you.

Have more. It's good. Eat up.

- I know it's good. - That's the best part.

I know.

Here. Look at it stretching.

Eat up.

It's good. It definitely is.

Gosh. Se Jin, have some rice cakes. Eat up.

Thanks.

Have some more sauce too.

You guys look good together.

You should date.

Sorry?

I'm married.

Seriously?

I had no idea!

Congratulations! You're more talented than I thought.

- No. - No.

I called you about getting married.

I got married to some other woman.

- That's right. I'm still single. - She is.

Why? You should've married each other.

You look good together.

That's enough.

A man and a woman should be like this cheese.

Do you see this?

They should be all sticky like this to get married to each other.

Gosh.

Hey, don't eat this.

It doesn't have to be love.

But you should at least be able to kiss each other...

if you want to get married.

But with him... Gosh.

Hey.

You shouldn't kiss your spouse.

It's the law.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Then why get married in the first place?

So that you won't kiss the person you want to kiss.

You're right indeed.

Pour me a drink.

That's the right answer.

(Ilmiri Geumgye Braised Spicy Chicken)

As time goes by, I just don't get her even more.

Honey.

That perfume.

You... You use the same one.

Ms. Baek also gave one to you.

Are you familiar with that perfume?

I'm not sure.

If I told them that she had given one to me,

they'd obviously get the wrong idea.

She has so many secrets.

Have you...

caught wind of it?

Of what?

No.

It can't be.

What can't be?

A married couple must trust each other.

You shouldn't suspect her so easily.

Jin Ho.

Do you know something?

Never.

No.

Gosh. I'm sure I put it somewhere around here.

What are you looking for?

Why is this mess still here?

Clean this up.

She's the one who's been calling me to show up everywhere.

Does she think I have a clone?

She never gave me any time to clean up this mess.

Come closer.

- This is a secret. - Okay.

Sorry.

Darn it.

You see, Yeo Joo...

and her assistant...

It can't be.

When will I be done cleaning?

I shouldn't have saved her.

Hey. Help me!

You little...

Did she always have such big eyes?

Or was she just that startled?

Gosh, it's hot.

Is it because I'm in the basement?

("Park Jae Geun's Secret Prayer Room and the Shadow of the Arms Market")

("Park Jae Geun's Secret Prayer Room and the Shadow of the Arms Market")

"Secret Prayer Room"?

Is he still here?

- Yeo Joo... - Yes?

- and her assistant... - Yes?

were in the basement storage...

What are you doing?

- What? - Why are you slacking off?

I was thinking about how to organize the books.

Should I organize them...

by the Korean or the English alphabet?

Why not by size or color?

Goodness.

You have some creative ways to waste your time on the job.

What were they doing in the basement? What?

Gosh.

I...

You can torture me however you want,

but I can't tell you what I saw. I'm sorry.

Come on.

Hey.

Put these away too.

Finish it tonight even if you have to stay up all night to do it.

What are you doing here?

I didn't find you in your study.

So your assistant is still here?

Yes. He's reorganizing some books in the basement.

Were you two there by yourselves?

Yes.

Isn't this too late for your assistant to be working?

Why are you interested in that?

I don't want people to think you're on a power trip.

They already think I am.

My former 21 assistants badmouth me.

What if the number goes up to 22?

It already is, probably.

"On the third floor of Faith and Practice Church,"

"there's a room that doesn't even show up on the blueprint."

This is an old model.

People don't use this model anymore.

Your assistant just does his job. Nothing else, right?

Guys around his age don't have any self-restraint.

Does he only do his job?

He's always doing something, but his job.

I get it. You won't let it happen.

Why do you think that?

That I won't let it happen?

You let another woman hide in your cabinet.

But that was a misunderstanding.

If you...

keep talking about that, it will chase away my sleep.

Okay. Sleep tight.

("Park Jae Geun's Secret Prayer Room and the Shadow of the Arms Market")

("Park Jae Geun's Secret Prayer Room and the Shadow of the Arms Market")

Sure, let's do that.

Then let's make our wedding invitations right away.

Aren't you rushing things?

When should I introduce myself to your father?

It's been over 10 years since I last spoke to him.

It's a good excuse to call him.

Your marriage.

Seriously? Are you recording this?

Were you really recording this?

How can I trust him?

He might be gunning for an article or just wants to flirt with me.

Of course. That's so you.

Hey, you're not my type. And I have a girlfriend.

I even cooked breakfast for her.

You might be double-timing us.

Fine.

I like your attitude for checking all four corners.

It looks like we've never held hands together before.

Do you think that can fool my father?

You're something else.

Her marriage was fake.

I have no idea...

how much of it is true.

Is that why she's dangerous?

You're still not done? Hurry up.

I'm almost done.

I'm getting married.

Let me see.

(Daean Daily)

468934. That's the passcode.

We got him now. Park Jae Geun, you're done for.

Sir, we'll head over with the video.

Sorry.

Let me deliver this. And we can go and have a meal together.

(Joo Min Jae)

Sorry about the wedding invitation.

But...

can't you just let this one go?

If I do, then what?

You and I can both live peacefully.

I thought I would too.

But Baek Soo Jung is dead.

What we buried 10 years ago instead of eradicating...

have been rotting away all this time.

Do you think she was murdered...

because of what happened 10 years ago?

I'm not sure.

We'll find out soon enough.

I get the feeling...

the culprit will come and see me really soon.

If Kang Yeo Soo isn't the culprit,

who killed Baek Soo Jung?

These products are for moisturizing and resilience.

We put eco-friendly and organic products over here.

Turn it on.

It's time for your class.

I don't think I'll have time to paint anymore.

Turn in my leave of absence.

Honey, where did you go this early?

I see.

I'm eating some bread.

Yes.

Anyway, honey.

Today is...

No, never mind.

Come home safely.

Okay. Bye.

Today is my birthday.

This is too much.

Hey, Woo Sung. You're here.

Hey. I think they're doing construction.

Just the decoration.

The landlord changed, and the new one has a picky style.

It's great news for us.

I see. Is that the case?

You would've known if you actually came to work, man.

It already smells much better.

The landlord might be trying to raise the maintenance fee.

I'm not going to let it happen.

No, never.

Take a look.

Hang up a few paintings too.

All right.

I wonder if he had any seaweed soup.

It's his birthday today.

It's usually hard to find a seat here at lunch.

- What are the chances? - You're right.

- What's with you? - It's your birthday punch.

Did you have any seaweed soup?

It's your birthday today.

My wife made me some, so yes, I did.

Really?

Excuse me.

We only have seaweed soup meal today.

What? That's great news.

We'll take that.

- Sure. I'll get it ready. - Thank you.

We only ordered seaweed soup meal.

Yes, sir. This is the meal you ordered.

Wait.

Are you sure this only costs eight dollars?

Yes, it's the eight-dollar meal.

Enjoy.

Gosh. No way.

Let's eat. Goodness.

(The courteous police of the people)

You can have this.

You haven't questioned the CEO of Baek Soo Jung's agency.

Right. We wanted to do that,

but she wouldn't cooperate.

She made a huge scene and demanded...

that we catch the culprit quickly during her funeral,

but she isn't in her office, at home,

and she wouldn't pick up her phone either.

I met her yesterday.

Sorry?

I'll help you with everything I can...

to catch Soo Jung's killer.

My husband's election is around the corner,

so I can't give an interview, but...

She'll cooperate with the police investigation.

She said she'll cooperate?

What has gotten into her?

But there's a condition.

A condition?

What is it?

Ms. Kang Yeo Joo must be there herself.

She wanted me there?

At her house?

Why?

We'll find out once we're there.

No, thanks.

I don't want to spare my time just to find out the reason.

So you won't go?

You said I'm not allowed to film the occasion.

We might find an important lead.

A lead.

Then what?

We need to find the lead to catch the culprit.

Quiet down, will you?

Goodness.

You think I'm the culprit.

Yet you're here to ask me to catch the culprit.

Man, unbelievable.

I'm a little busy. Please excuse me.

- Wait... - It's not like...

we concluded that she's the culprit, right?

You're right.

So?

Are you asking me for a favor to come with you?

I wouldn't say it's a favor.

Yes, we are.

You're right.

Please come with us.

Darn it.

I'll take my car.

So the two of them...

Are you two dating?

I don't want to tag along...

and become conscious like what happened last time.

Our relationship isn't like that.

We're just colleagues on business...

May I take my assistant?

Your what?

Right.

You'd hate it if I got nosy with your investigation,

so it's probably impossible for me to take my assistant.

Nosy? Don't say that. You're only helping us.

You were going to bring him anyway.

Why would you even ask?

Soo Ho, is that you?

Can you come here?

Yoon Hyung Sook is the only one...

who can bring Kang Yeo Joo's trauma back.

She's Kang Yeo Joo's weakness.

What are you doing? Why are you rolling down the window?

It's suffocating. I couldn't even get off work.

Do you want to get off work for good?

(Lawyer Han Woo Sung)

Hello? This is Lawyer Han Woo Sung.

What?

A raffle at a market?

I'm sure you won this because you entered your name.

(V Mart Raffle Prize: Electric Car)

I don't remember doing that.

Maybe it was Yeo Joo.

No way. She's not that type.

Right!

I remember. It was me.

No, I'm serious.

I ended up putting down your name out of habit.

Stop lying.

I got confused. I entered this raffle.

This is my car. It's mine.

Wait, I remembered. I know.

- I entered this raffle. - What?

It was last month. I entered it last month, right?

Which market was this?

V Mart.

- My gosh. - Look.

- Let's get in. - Stop it.

- No, you can't. - Come on.

Here, you can take this.

You can keep this.

- I don't look that bad. - You can keep it, then.

Hello, nice to meet you.

It feels great to have a new car, anyway.

Then let me have yours.

- How much is your offer? - What?

I almost lost my family because of you.

- Will Yeo Joo pick up her phone? - Wait.

- Here. - Whoa.

But let me drive it for a month.

If I don't like it, you can take it.

Yes! All right!

Woo Sung, you're flexing. Yes!

Tea for our guests.

Be careful. The teacups are very precious.

Yes, Ms. Yoon.

Did you bring enough handcuffs?

Why should we have enough handcuffs?

Because she always has a bodyguard with her.

So what?

She might be the culprit...

who killed Baek Soo Jung and kidnapped her manager.

You should look out for yourself.

I got him to cover for me.

You said you've killed people, right?

When did I say that?

I haven't.

Yoon Hyung Sook is Kang Yeo Joo's mother,

on paper, anyway.

She's the daughter of Assemblyman Park Jae Geun.

Then why is her last name Kang?

She switched to her biological mother's name.

Why?

All families have a story to tell, don't they?

Do you feel unwell?

I'm supposed to be home writing my novel,

but I'm out here doing a detective's job.

I'm getting very tired.

At least offer me a tax cut.

You seem very tired,

so let the detectives ring the bell for you.

Could you ring the bell?

It has been so long.

Please come in. I prepared some tea.

They look closer than I expected.

Get away from me.

Come this way.

My gosh.

The heavens were touched with my loyalty and gave me a car.

Anyway, I like this car in its own way,

but I like that one too.

Which one should I choose... Gosh, I don't know!

What?

What's this?

I prepared some milk tea.

Do you still like this?

Have some.

Excuse me.

I'll have some coffee.

Go make some coffee.

Then I'll take coffee too.

Two cups of coffee.

Take a seat. Sit down.

Yeo Joo, then you can have the milk tea by yourself.

What are you doing?

Sit down.

(Park Yeo Joo)

Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

You don't look too good.

Are you still ill?

Do you have an illness?

She was at a psychiatric hospital for quite some time.

I see.

What did you see?

See?

Ever since her mom's death,

she lost the ability to speak.

This is a nice view.

I have a sun allergy.

You do?

My skin is more sensitive than you think.

If you're that sensitive, you should just wait outside.

Why would you hold an umbrella indoors?

What a strange guy.

Anyway,

I heard you were the one who turned Ms. Baek into a star.

I heard she was part of your agency ever since her debut.

Yes.

Then you must know everything about her.

Do you also know about her special fan?

Special fan?

I returned because I missed my fan.

What's wrong?

Are you uncomfortable being here?

Does this place still remind you of the past?

It must be difficult to cure you completely.

Are you able to go about your day like everyone else?

I don't want him to feel uncomfortable.

He's allergic to the sun,

so I should be considerate.

Follow me.

This spy cam was found inside the backseat,

and this tracker was found underneath the car.

She was determined to keep an eye on you.

Did you have no clue?

Goodness.

Yeo Joo has deftly one-upped you.

(Korean Wave Star Award, Baek Soo Jung)

An awards ceremony took place...

the day before her disappearance.

She had received the Korean Wave Star Award.

She hadn't received an award in a while and must've been elated.

No one was interested in the awards ceremony...

despite her disappearing after receiving that award.

Thank you.

It hasn't been that long since I've returned to acting.

And yet, I've been given such an incredible award.

First of all, I'd like to thank my fans...

for remembering and supporting me despite my long hiatus.

I returned because I missed my fan.

I would like to share this happiness with that individual.

My heart's already fluttering.

It's a wonderful night.

Thank you.

You crazy wench.

How dare you dig your own grave?

Turn the car.

Turn the car this instant!

After the awards ceremony, she had planned...

to meet with someone.

I'm almost there.

Keep her there.

Don't let her get away.

- Soo Jung. - Let me go.

- You can't go right now. - Move aside. I have no time.

- Wait. Soo Jung. - Darn it.

What if Ms. Yoon finds out?

She won't.

She's on her way right now.

Why would she come here?

Don't tell me...

you've been reporting my whereabouts all this time.

You're with them too.

I trusted you.

You were a spy who was sent here to keep an eye on me!

Why was her manager's blood on the trophy...

and not hers?

Do you know...

why?

The manager stopped Baek Soo Jung from meeting the fan.

Soo Jung...

threw it at me.

I think she was mistaken.

She was very angry at me.

How do you know that?

You weren't at the TV station that night.

The manager told me himself.

Well,

Ms. Yoon is holding Soo Jung.

And I did what I was asked.

He reached me through the president of the fan club.

Tell him to call me...

if he wants to live.

The novel you're writing this time...

is quite lame.

Then,

should I make it interesting for you?

Should I write about the fan?

Who's the fan?

I always had a lot of fans.

I'm sure you know what I mean.

Your special fan.

The fan you secretly met in the Secret Prayer Room.

If I tell you who it is,

do you think you can handle it?

A politician.

Whoever you have in mind,

the fan is more than that.

No way. Is it...

The fan is...

in this room.

Is it...

That's correct.

You think the fan is your father?

No.

The president?

Goodness.

She's gone mad.

It's the president.

Have you lost it?

That's what I said too.

You've lost it.

I'll make him divorce her.

"Divorce"? Are you out of your mind?

Do you think that's possible?

Watch me. See if I can do it or not.

He's still my fan.

We even met in the States.

Nine years ago,

you almost died. Don't you remember?

Back then,

his subordinates got it wrong.

You're so dumb.

That's going to get you killed.

Get a grip.

Right back at you.

What if Baek Soo Jung...

stirs up a love scandal with the president?

Can the next president come from the Minjin Party?

The most promising presidential candidate...

from the Minjin Party is...

Assemblyman Park, correct?

I'm sure she meant no harm.

She just wanted to stop Baek Soo Jung as his wife.

Isn't that right?

It's me. What's the passcode to Baek Soo Jung's studio?

We decided to see each other again.

He can never leave me.

So...

are you trying to be the first lady?

What if I am? Why not?

You're just asking to get killed.

Don't you remember...

how you had to beg for your life?

Things are different now.

- Hey. - Gosh.

Even if it works out, you'll be his mistress at best.

Just like you?

What?

Not bad.

I can just kill the current first lady...

and marry him just like you did.

How dare you!

So...

are you saying I'm the culprit?

I'm saying it is a possibility.

How boring.

How long will you drag out this fake story?

We're just getting to the climax.

You are still mistaken about me.

"Mistaken"?

Is it my fault that your mother killed herself?

Why are you trying me frame me for that?

You even brought detectives to my home.

It's you who brought me here.

Why did you want me here? What is it?

I wanted to ask you...

who killed Baek Soo Jung.

You wanted to ask me?

You know the culprit.

Don't you?

Now, I know what you want from me.

The puzzle pieces all came together.

I'm sure it's just a story.

Hello?

Confessed?

Confessed to killing Baek Soo Jung?

Confessed?

(Cheat On Me If You Can)

The blood must have splattered all over the place.

But there isn't a single drop of blood on the clothes.

Don't you think there's a reason behind it?

That means Yeo Joo must have seen everything that was...

on the security footage at Baek Soo Jung's studio.

Maybe she's trying to get her revenge.

I need you to help me.

I'm not doing this because I want to.

Ms. Kang asked me to do this.

Will you let Yeo Joo keep causing trouble?

She's like a ticking bomb.

You're up against Seo Jae Ha of Jinsong Group.

Don't worry. We'll win.

Do you think the actress got her revenge?

Did she seduce the lawyer?

That's the only way for her wife to get her revenge.

That's what my readers want.
