ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

WOOSIN: The symbol of Haesong Group.

The arrow with a diamond tip.

I'm going to steal the Adamas.

You're insane. How?

What if there's someone helping me?

WOOSIN: Somebody…

invited me to this mansion.

Who do you think recommended
that I ghostwrite Chairman Kwon's memoir?

Does that person know about me?

Probably not.

We haven't met each other yet.

Then I guess I'll be safe
if I keep your mouth shut.

I couldn't stick to being good
in order to gain their trust.

I had to dirty my hands.

You're going to shoot me?

If needed.

Accidents are common when hunting.

What will you do about the witness?

What are you two doing there?

Oh, hello.

This is a little flustering, right?

Yes, very much.

I think this needs to be reported.

MS. KWON: Mr. Choi?

He was pointing a gun at Mr. Ha?

Why?

MR. CHOI:
I came across suspicious behavior.

I sensed the presence of someone
while hunting,

and some stranger was looking around
when I checked.

As if…

he was looking for someone.

So I pointed my gun at him
to identify him.

And it turned out to be Mr. Ha.

Ms. Eun saw us
and got the wrong idea, I presume.

It seemed like he was looking for someone?

In my eyes, yes.

What do you think, Hyesoo?

You must've seen something.

I'm not sure.

What I saw was

him pointing his gun at Mr. Ha.

Not what happened before and after.

But Mr. Choi,

he didn't seem suspicious at all to me.

HYESOO: What could he have been doing?

In that open space in broad daylight.

-That's--
-KWON: What should we do?

Two people are giving different stories

about the same situation.

So one of you must be lying.

It seems to me that Mr. Choi was mistaken.

(door opens)

MS. KWON: Mistaken?

Mr. Choi isn't the kind of person
to point his gun at someone

because of a misunderstanding.

I apologize for the rushed interruption.

No, it's fine.
Let me hear your side of the story.

Then I will tell you.

I'd like to know why
they were in the woods.

Mr. Choi went to hunt.
What about you, Ms. Hyesoo?

I went to get some
golden-rayed lilies for the garden.

These.

What about you, Mr. Ha?

If you weren't looking for someone
like Mr. Choi thought, why?

Why aren't you saying anything?

KWON: Mr. Ha.

You're making Mr. Choi's story
more plausible.

Sir, you shouldn't
let this slide so easily.

We need to get to the bottom of this--

I will tell you.

Sir, may I speak with you
in private first?

One of us here might find
what I say uncomfortable.

(tense music)

(sighs)

Ms. Hyesoo.

Don't get close to the writer.

I have a leery feeling about him,
and I'm worried about you.

You're worried about me?

That's very unusual.

Maybe it's time you leave this world.

That rude witch…

What happened?

It's just as I told the chairman.
I spotted someone suspicious,

-and he…
-So what about him was suspicious?

Why can't you read between the lines?

(grunts)
He was glancing about, and I wondered

if he was looking for someone.

Looking for someone? Who?

Ms. Kwon, I could've
jumped to conclusions.

You can't change your words now!

Anyway, he did seem suspicious.

His eyes gave me a strange feeling
from the beginning.

Why on earth did he come to Haesong?

You know why. To ghostwrite…

No, that's not it.

Money can't move the likes of him.

I know very well about those lowlifes
who do anything for money.

It doesn't feel right.

You must have good reason
to have such an idea,

but the chairman wouldn't let
just anyone into Haesong.

And if there was a problem with him,

the chairman wouldn't be that fond of him.

Fond?
(scoffs)

If he wanted money
or anything else from the master,

he would've tried to win me over first.

Because I'm the gate to the master!

Everyone did so. Even assemblymen
and the Public Prosecutor General.

But that weasel skipped me.

Ma'am, don't worry.

I'll keep an eye on him.

I know he has an ulterior motive.

Now that everyone else is gone,
you can speak to me.

I believe it's the difference
in how you interpret it.

The difference in how you interpret it?

Yes, Mr. Choi had a misjudgment.

He has doubts about everything
because it's his job.

And that probably affected
his interpretation.

Depending on your occupation,
you have a different way

of expressing your memory.

Thus, instead of the facts,

he interpreted his emotion of that time
as a memory.

Let's say he did.

Then why did you go into the woods?

MS. KWON: A walk?

(scoffs)

He went there alone for a walk?
And you believe him?

What's not to believe?

I do that too, from time to time.

But, master. Mr. Choi--

WOOSIN: Mr. Choi.

Make this your last test.

-What test?
-Whether I expose your identity.

You made a big deal out of it
to check that.

You're pretty quick-witted.

I guess you survived.

Don't go too far though.
I won't take it next time.

Think about my situation.

I couldn't trust you enough
to go easy on you.

I kept my promise.

Exclude me
from the security system right now.

I never gave you my word.

And excluding you isn't a simple matter.

Instead, I'll give you a tip.

-A tip?
-Beware of Ms. Kwon.

She's like a guard dog.

She easily gets suspicious.

On top of that, she has a nasty hobby.

MR. CHOI: You know that one of the maids
was taken to the hospital unconscious.

Flocoumafen was found in her body.

That's rat poison.

It was the third time.

Good luck.

Will you be okay if your cover gets blown?

Then what? Do you think
I'll just sit back and watch it happen?

I could expose that
some thief is after the Adamas.

And that he has an accomplice.

You have my weakness?

I have your weakness too.

You know what?

Hands and feet are tricky
to control subconsciously.

But in this adverse situation,
your hands are in your pockets.

That means you're feeling anxious.

(sighs)

Are you certain that
the Adamas is in this house?

It's here.

Because its owner is here.

(grunting)

I don't know
how he sweet-talked the master,

but he can't fool me.

DONGRIM: Will you keep this up?
I already know everything.

WOOSIN: About what?

DONGRIM: About why you chose to come here.

I know what your true intentions are.

What do you mean?

DONGRIM:
You'd be insane to ghostwrite for someone.

WOOSIN: What are you getting at?

DONGRIM: You're preparing for your
next book, and it's about conglomerates.

You're here for research purposes.
We're in the same boat.

That darn rat.

DIRECTOR: Revise it.

Excuse me?

Revise the article.

Why?

It's like a perfect piece of art
that follows 5W1H.

I put all my skills
into writing this article.

Hey, I can't tell Newscaster Cha
to criticize Candidate Hwang.

Why not?

It's not like I'm asking him
to literally attack him.

He better quit being a newscaster
if he's bothered to say a few words.

-He will quit.
-What?

He's been nominated to be a spokesman.

Don't get in your senior's way.

Are you kidding me?

You guys are just ridiculous.

Darn them.

What a load of crap.

(phone buzzing)

PROSECUTOR SONG SUHYEON

Hello?

GOVERNOR HWANG'S CONTROVERSIAL HANDLING
OF MOUNT GYEONGWON LANDSLIDE

REPORTER KIM SEOHEE

What is this?

To understand someone,
you must look into their past first.

SUHYEON: These are your past articles.

You targeted Candidate Hwang quite often.

Just be direct.

It's pathetic to beat around the bush.

Is it your passionate sense of justice
that's making you cover my father's case?

(scoffs)

No, I'm just awfully nosy.

Or you're anti-campaigning
against Candidate Hwang.

You want to stop his approval ratings
from hiking.

Lee Changwoo has to be innocent

so Candidate Hwang loses trust
for supporting the death penalty system.

You're using the death-row inmate
to draw attention

and make Candidate Hwang hit rock bottom.

So you're sure about
the missing weapon now?

I admit it. But then, it's strange.

Just who took the murder weapon?

You may think
the real culprit is someone else.

But the crucial evidence proves it wrong.

The witness. Oh, dear.

He even testified in court.

I saw the two of them
enter the house that night.

The victim was angry.

He demanded Lee pay off his debt.

PROSECUTOR: Your Honor, the victim visited
Lee Changwoo at his house

to claim his rightful payment.

Then after an argument, he was murdered.

And you still think
Lee Changwoo was framed?

What if the witness committed perjury?

On what grounds?

The witness even described
Lee Changwoo's attire.

PROSECUTOR:
You've seen this jacket before, correct?

Yes.

Lee Changwoo was wearing it.

PROSECUTOR:
The accused was wearing this jacket

when he got arrested at the crime scene.

I will submit it as evidence.

SEOHEE: That witness
has a red-green color deficiency.

Don't say he could differentiate
red and green at night.

It should've been considered
during the investigation.

He had a driver's license.

That means he's not colorblind,
so they may not have known.

How did you find out?

I met him.

Let's go.

Where is he?

(solemn music)

A room that no one enters or leaves.

Should I get the wrong idea
about what you just did?

I was admiring the unique interior design.

I only meant to peep but you caught me.

Let me apologize. Excuse me.

Just like what happened with Mr. Choi,

you're causing yourself
to be misunderstood.

I'll be careful from now on.

(device beeps)

That's strange. I thought I turned it off.

HYESOO: It's a portable metal detector.

WOOSIN: Oh, it's the metal pin.

I got surgery on my finger
when I was little.

I see.

You're carrying something quite unusual.

I keep losing my ring
when I tend the garden.

HYESOO: It was the seventh time today.

WOOSIN: I see.
That ring must mean a lot to you.

It doesn't seem so special,

but you look for it
every time you lose it.

Did I just cross a line?

Yes, I feel offended.

Oh. Let me apologize again.

Please think of it
as an occupational habit.

It's just that psychologists
find people so interesting--

You're flustered.

Pardon?

There's no need to explain.
I'll accept your apology.

Right, I was flustered and rambled on.

(suspenseful music)

(door closes)

WOOSIN: It was the only locked room.

What could be inside?

(alarm beeping)

-What's that?
-An alarm.

It's time to take my pills.
I set an alarm to remind myself.

What pills? Nutritional supplements?

I'm very attentive
to maintaining my health these days.

Do you even know what they're for?

Of course.

Omega-3. Milk thistle.

DONGRIM: And vitamin K.

If you share your pills with someone,
they won't be as effective.

I won't take them.

It's not like
I don't want to share them with you.

You're healthy enough already,

and taking these could make you
live unnecessarily long.

Come to think of it,
our boss is never wrong.

Ms. Yeo? What did she say?

That your words call for a beating.

Well, I'm kind of like that.

-Guess what?
-Whatever.

There's a treasure in this mansion.

Adamas.

You knew that, old man?

I guess we took the same taxi.
He told me the same thing.

-Could it be real?
-What if it is?

It should belong to the one who finds it.

I was good at treasure hunting
ever since I was little.

My know-how is to see the forest,
not the trees.

DONGRIM: Looking from afar…

I spotted a beauty right away.

Where are you going?
The study is this way.

Is he playing hooky again?

"See the forest, not the trees,"
says Lee Dongrim.

The house itself is too high
for a three-story building.

Besides,

it was extended.

Except for that place.

(birds chirping)

(eerie music)

(beeping)

MAN: His real name is Song Woosin.

His pen name is Ha Woosin
with his mother's surname.

So he blackmailed you?

MR. CHOI: Yes, sir.

He seems normal

and has a decent job,
yet he enjoys danger.

What does he want?

He wants to steal the Adamas.

MR. CHOI: The diamond arrow.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS HEADQUARTERS
HAESONG ADAMAS

THE MOST EXPENSIVE DIAMOND ARROW
IN THE WORLD, ADAMAS

MAN:
He's even gutsy. That thing is priceless.

Then again,

he blackmailed a police officer
so he could steal it.

He's more than just ordinary.

Taesung, this is tricky.

If we try to do something about him,

your identity could be exposed.

Sir, this isn't the time to calculate.

MR. CHOI: That writer's reckless behavior

could take us all down.

Are you going to risk our project
over this one thief?

Of course not.

Ha Woosin or whatever his name is.
Do whatever it takes to get rid of him.

MAN: That way, we can get him
to confess to how he got your info.

SONG WOOSIN

How dare this punk
try to pull a trick on our turf?

(doorbell rings)

Anyone home?

WONJOONG: Who are you?

My name is Song Suhyeon.

And?

I'm Song Soonho's son.

So you remember.

(water pouring)

I apologize for coming unannounced.

You must be quite surprised.

I won't deny it.

But what brings you here?

You see,

I'm a prosecutor.

PROSECUTOR SONG SUHYEON

I looked into my father's case again
and I had some questions.

What questions?
The ruling has already been made.

Let me ask you one thing.

You testified that you saw Lee Changwoo
and my father that night.

You described Lee Changwoo too.

Yes, I did.

Why did you lie?

I lied? What are you talking about?

I have evidence.

It's a copy of the investigation record.

SUHYEON: Read the parts underlined in red.

"The witness testified
that the victim visited

-the accused's house--"
-No.

The parts underlined in red.

This one's in green.

INVESTIGATION PROGRESS

EVIDENCE REGARDING MAJOR SUSPICIONS

SUHYEON: This one's in red.

EVIDENCE 3 IS THE JACKET
THE ACCUSED WORE WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED

Well, you said the underlined--

I know you're blind to red and green.

Yet you saw the green jacket
with red patterns

that Lee Changwoo was wearing?

-That's…
-Look.

Sir.

Tell me the truth.

I'll stay until you give me an answer.

(sighs)

I did wrong.

The detectives showed me the picture
and said Lee Changwoo wore that jacket.

They asked me if I saw it.

I just ended up saying that I did.

It's true that I'm colorblind,

but I did see them.

WONJOONG: I clearly saw them
enter the house together.

I parked my car across the road

and was waiting for my wife.

To support our family,

she used to work at a sewing factory
until late at night.

A family in those circumstances

happened to move into this apartment
after that testimony.

What do you mean by that?

We got this house with the compensation
from my wife's accident.

Compensation?

My gosh!
Let's say I lied about the whole thing.

What about Lee Changwoo?

He confessed that he murdered your father!

What can be done
about a case from 22 years ago?

You're a prosecutor,
so you should know better.

Don't come here ever again.
I have nothing more to say.

Did you know
that his wife got into an accident?

A car accident
five days before the testimony.

They were compensated
with an enormous amount of money.

They were threatened and compensated
at the same time?

SUHYEON: So he had no choice
but to accept the deal.

In order to protect his family.

Typical of a soap opera.

Ms. Kim.

This case happened 22 years ago,
and it's statute-barred.

Even if the real culprit gets caught,
they won't stand trial.

Nevertheless, this is meaningful to me
because I'm the victim's son.

But why are you so obsessed
with this case?

I can't let Lee Changwoo die in prison.

So why?

I know that he's innocent.

MS. KWON: What? He sneaked around where?

Mr. Minjo's room?

Yes, but Ms. Hyesoo
showed up at that time.

And?

He just said
he was looking around the house.

And she believed him?

She didn't say much.

(growls)

So annoying.

I'm getting this ominous feeling.

Leave it up to me.
I'll always have my eye on him.

MS. KWON: Put one down.

You got me a bunch of empty intel.

Now have some conscience.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, I wonder if this could be useful.

Go ahead and tell me.

Ms. Hyesoo often loses her ring
while she tends the garden.

So she got herself
a portable metal detector.

MS. OH:
And it detected metal in his left hand.

WOOSIN: Oh, it's the metal pin.

He has a metal pin in his finger.

What about it?

When a new hire joins the house,
they have their medical records checked

in case they'd cause harm to the chairman.

But I didn't hear anything
about his surgery.

Hmm.

If he'd had surgery, I'd be aware of it.

Every medical record is reported to me.

Exactly.

Because it's directly connected
to the chairman's well-being.

(door closes)

Look at this guy.

WOOSIN: A modern and sophisticated
building structure.

It should be similar to the first floor.

The third floor remains.

Why did they leave this place as is?

The locked room on the third floor.

This drawing room.

And…

(cunning music)

WOOSIN: If there's a hidden space in here…

This raised floor…

There could be something
underneath the carpet.

(knocking on door)

What are you doing here?

I asked, what are you doing here?

We have an interview to do.

An interview?

Yesterday, you suggested an interview
around this time today.

Oh, right. I did.

Old age makes me forgetful.

(beeps)

KWON: The beginning of Haesong…

I can't leave out this person.

You mean your grandfather, the founder?

He was a born businessman.

He founded a munitions factory in Japan
when he wasn't even 30.

The arrowhead logo that we use today

was used since the beginning.

I see.

Was Haesong faced with any crises?

It's the 80th anniversary this year.

KWON (chuckles):
Of course, it wasn't smooth sailing.

So many people criticized the group

for being pro-Japanese.

Oh, I briefly remember the boycott.

It was certainly tough even for Haesong.

So…

I came up with a game changer.

Inspired by the logo,

I made the Adamas

and declared it the symbol of Haesong.

What a move.

DISCLOSURE CEREMONY OF ADAMAS,
THE SYMBOL OF HAESONG

(people applauding)

KWON: Adamas.

I got the name from a Greek word

that's cognate with diamond.

It means "unable to conquer."

This diamond arrow…

will be the symbol of Haesong.

(people applauding, cheering)

WOOSIN:
The most expensive arrow in the world

quickly became the center of attention.

It turned the tables.

The boycott was no longer their interest.

The arrowhead itself is a 300-carat
diamond worth tens of billions of won.

It naturally caught attention.

I didn't know there was
such a story behind Adamas.

You haven't shown it ever since.
When are you planning to do it?

When my time is over…

The day I retire,
I will hand it over to my son.

Like a crown?

He has to inherit the symbol of Haesong

for him to be its rightful owner.

Oh, I see.

I wanted to see it for the memoir writing.

Do you want to see it?

Pardon?

KWON: What do you think?

Isn't it splendid yet graceful?

Right.

I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Just the picture is already imposing.

(chuckles)

Well, we will see.

Maybe there will be a chance next time.

Next time?
That's an indirect way to say no.

-Ms. Oh.
-Yes?

I noticed something strange.

What do you mean?

I looked around the mansion today.

The sculpture on the third floor,
it seemed quite extraordinary.

You know the Italian sculptor, Casas?

It's his artwork.

Oh, that's why.

The office room there
hasn't been extended, unlike the others.

Because it's worth
being preserved as it is.

The building was extended around the place

as it was maintained unaffected.

It's a piece of artwork.

And the chairman cherishes it.

I see.

Excuse me then.

By the way…

Is there another strange matter?

Yes.

You've been following me.

Me? I think you're mistaken.

Can you say the same to the chairman?

Is Ms. Kwon behind it?

(Ms. Kwon clicks tongue)

I apologize.

MS. KWON: Do you remember, Ms. Oh?

That clumsy fool
who couldn't even do her job.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

MR. CHOI: Flocoumafen was found
in her body. That's rat poison.

Is there something you want to say?

-I don't understand.
-MS. KWON: What don't you understand?

Why you're watching me.

I'm just doing my job. If you have nothing
to hide, what's the problem with it?

-Ms. Kwon.
-Earlier, Mr. Choi said

that you behaved suspiciously
in the woods.

I couldn't stay still.

I've talked to the chairman about it.

Oh, no.

You may have softened him up,
but you can't do the same with me.

I like to test the waters, you see.

Ms. Kwon.

You see,

I want to be on great terms with you.

(clears throat)

-WOOSIN: But…
-But?

If you make me uncomfortable,
I can be just as aggressive.

Is that a threat?

Of course not. I'm asking you for a favor.

Your interest in me

is quite a nuisance.

That arrogant jerk.

Ms. Kwon, I--

Bring Ms. Yoon over.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you going somewhere?

She's going out alone
without the chairman.

It must be Ms. Kwon's order.

CHIEF JEONG:
A group rally is to take place

in favor of the death penalty
this weekend.

The bereaved have been recruited
and TV cameras will be there.

Okay, that's going to be one nice story.

Have Candidate Hwang give a speech.

His thigh hasn't fully--

Hey.

He should fight through it.

He can't be President for free.

Understood, sir.

-(door opens)
-MANAGER LEE: Sir.

Be careful not to trip. What is it?

-We got a call from outside.
-A call?

A call from outside
can only mean one thing.

What's the case number?

WONJOONG: You told me before.

That if something happened in the future,

I should dial
my resident registration number here.

That I'd be able to reach you anytime.

WOMAN: Tell me what kind of help you need.

WONJOONG:
The victim's son visited me today.

I feigned ignorance
and he left without saying much, but…

WOMAN: Your request has been submitted.
Please go home and wait.

Wait, I didn't do anything wrong.

I had no idea he'd come
after all this time.

Please… Please don't harass me
or my family again.

-(dial tone)
-Hello?

Hello?

Please…

Don't harass my family…

TEAM LEADER LEE:
Witnesses are always a problem.

Kim Wonjoong, the witness
in Lee Changwoo's case.

(sighs)
His wife was so pretty.

Should we come up with a scenario?

We must respond by the book.

-Okay.
-Joonho.

-Yes?
-Let me borrow your tie.

Oh.

The victim's son came to see him.

What a devoted son.

Hustling around to see
what's behind his father's death.

But that could lead him
to die young just like his father.

Right?

My gosh!
Let's say I lied about the whole thing.

What about Lee Changwoo?

He confessed that he murdered your father!

It's a mess the more I dig into it.

If he was framed, why did he confess?

Why?

-Hey.
-Oh, my goodness.

If it isn't the alpha dog,
Mr. Song Suhyeon.

You've done enough, so stop teasing me.

I'm just grateful.

For what?

Thanks. I was given the case
because you turned it down.

The Kangchun case.

Wow, congrats.

I get to jump on a bandwagon
thanks to you.

Will I get a box full of cash
this coming Chuseok holiday?

From Candidate Hwang?

Come on, the money comes
from the financier.

The financier?

You know who's backing him.

-Haesong?
-Yes.

Gosh, you are so proud
talking about something so filthy.

That rude punk.

HAESONG GROUP
OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEES AWARD CEREMONY

(audience applauding)

HAESONG GROUP
OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEES AWARD CEREMONY

Everyone,

have you heard of the phrase,
company livestock?

Domestic animals are called livestock.

And office workers are called
company livestock

for they are raised in a company.

I do not agree with this phrase.

You are never company livestock.

Then what is your identity?

You are guests.

Guests who deserve hospitable treatment.

Let me take this chance
to make one thing clear.

Those who force you to be loyal

and to have a sense of ownership.
They are all frauds.

You don't own the company,
so how could you?

Throw away all those remarks in the trash.

You just have to work your salary's worth.

This means, you have to get paid
as much as you work,

and if it doesn't satisfy you,

you can throw the company out.

(laughter)

You work for Haesong,

and the executives' duty

is to make sure

you can work conveniently.

Please stay with Haesong for a long time.

I will serve you as the rightful guests.

(audience applauding)

(cackling)

Wow.

Digging into his father's murder case
from 22 years ago!

Even a TV show would be criticized
for having such a story.

It's too much.

Tell me about it.

So the son came to visit the witness?

-(sighs)
-Why are they so pathetic?

Obsessed with the past,
they can't move on.

That's why their lives are miserable.

The Heukseok-dong shaman
told me to be careful.

This was it.

(sighs)
You have a scenario?

It's ready.

KIM WONJOONG, IM JISOOK
DISAPPEARANCE SCENARIO

HYUNJO: What a pathetic father.

He just had to pass down
something like this.

Not bad.

Then should we proceed accordingly?

Oh, please.

If I say okay here,

I'd be abetting murder.

Take care of it

solely based on your decision.

Yes, sir.

(line ringing)

Stand by, Mr. Jung.
We're making a move tonight.

Gather up. We have an order to carry out.

CHIEF JEONG: What's the target's routine?

They take a walk at 3 p.m. every day.

CHIEF JEONG:
Wouldn't that be in broad daylight?

There's a secluded place along the route.

It's a blind spot with no CCTV cameras.

CHIEF JEONG: I see, here at 3:40 p.m.

EMPLOYEE 1:
From there to the nearby mountain.

Mr. Kang is checking the area right now.

CHIEF JEONG: And the clear-out team?

EMPLOYEE 2:
They will be standing by on time.

CHIEF JEONG: Okay. Let's get it right.

MEN: Yes, sir.

(helicopter whirring)

WOOSIN: Why aren't they showing up
after sending me the letter?

DONGRIM: I saw a beautiful woman earlier
during the day.

I hear she's the chairman's secretary.
She's totally my type.

She's Osan style.

You see, my mom's my ideal woman
and she's from Osan.

What are you doing?

Mr. Ha, what are you doing?

An assignment.

I see.

Then I'll go work on an assignment too.

(sighs)
Who on earth could it be?

(helicopter whirring)

Good evening.

Oh, that woman.

The Osan-style lady.

(panting)

She walks so fast.

Excuse me.

Did I startle you? I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I kept calling you, but you didn't answer.

I'm Lee Dongrim.

The memoir writer's pupil.

I'll be writing my book soon too.

I hope we get along.

(Dongrim gasps)

She's an Ice Queen. How cool.

EUNKOOK MEDICAL CENTER

Thank you. I asked you to do this
because I could trust you.

My suspicion will be resolved now.

If he had surgery,
I should be aware of it.

And if he lied, for what reason…

-(knocking on door)
-(door opens)

-Ms. Kwon.
-Talk to me later.

NAME: SONG WOOSIN

OPEN FRACTURE IN LEFT HAND

What…

The chairman wants to see you.

-The master?
-Yes, right now.

Right now? Why?

I'm not sure.

If you make me uncomfortable,
I can be just as aggressive.

That little…

How could you?

You suggested an amicable relationship
just to stab me in the back!

-Stab you in the back?
-You told on me to the master!

I don't know what this is about,
and I'm not even interested. It's not me.

Stop suspecting me for nothing.

If I don't stop, what will you do?

I was being patient out of courtesy,
but don't expect more.

Don't be patient.

Let's fight and see
how long you can take my beating.

I could be the one beating you.

(growls)

You're no match for me.

Are you proud
because the master likes you?

He likes me? I didn't know that.

Don't delude yourself.

It's not because he adores you.

He's just reminded of Mr. Minjo!

Mr. Minjo?

That's none of your business.

The one who died in a helicopter accident.

Do I have a resemblance to him?

That smile.

That disgusting smile.
It's as if you see through me.

Seeing how you hate me,
I guess you didn't--

Don't smirk. You know nothing!

It's just drawing my attention.

Even more because I look like him.

(breathing heavily)

WOOSIN: It's just drawing my attention.

Even more because I look like him.

More?

WOOSIN: "Eunkook Medical Center"?

Was it you?

Ms. Kwon checked my surgery records.

I actually never got surgery.

Someone fabricated the record.

Director Eun Kyunggu
of Eunkook Medical Center.

You're his only daughter, Ms. Eun.

I can assume why.

If they found out that I lied, they'd
figure out what I have in my left hand.

Then they'd question
my actual purpose for coming here.

That could also put you in danger.

Because you're the one
who sent me the letter.

If not, why would you help me?

You're right. It was me.

(thunder rumbles)

(rain pattering)

My assignment is finally complete.

You had Ms. Yoon
run an errand for you earlier today.

KWON: Don't look at her.

Of course I noticed
my secretary's absence.

I apologize.
I had an urgent matter to tend to.

Your guess turned out to be wrong.

Leave Mr. Ha be.

Sir, you shouldn't let him fool you.

You think I can be fooled?

That's not what I mean.

Mr. Choi said that the writer
seemed to be looking for someone.

I only tried to figure out who--

KWON: Mr. Ha…

works for me.

Then why did you go into the woods?

I followed your daughter-in-law.

Hyesoo?

I thought I'd use a coincidental encounter
to become acquainted with her.

What do you mean by that?

I'll accept your suggestion.

Yesterday, you said you wanted
to know what's on her mind

and asked me to tell you
everything she says.

That's what happened, so stay out of it.

Master.

I said stop.

You and your suspicions are at it again!

That's not it.

I know you're being
overly generous to him.

I can assume why you chose him
to write your memoir.

His smile looks just like Mr. Minjo…

(groans)

I apologize.

I didn't mean to talk about him.

You've gotten old.

Have you forgotten already?

The more you talk,

the shorter you live.

(sobbing)

Ha Woosin…

WOOSIN: Now let me ask.

What you wrote in the letter.
How did you know?

(thunderclaps)

HYESOO:
Lee Changwoo is not the real culprit.

The missing murder weapon
is the symbol of Haesong.

The diamond arrow,

Adamas.

-(thunder rumbles)
-WOOSIN: Ms. Eun?

I heard about it.

From whom?

My husband.

You mean Mr. Kwon Hyunjo?

GUARD: He's on the line, sir.

Hi, Mr. Lee.

About the scenario from earlier,

why don't we go with suicide
instead of disappearance?

That might seem more genuine.

WOOSIN: Mr. Kwon told you?

It was more like he rattled on.

Those flowers belong to him.

HYUNJO: I told you so.

My father…

(groans)
…killed someone with the Adamas.

I heard him say that
and sent you the letter.

Why?

It has nothing to do with you.

That's not important right now.

Why did you come to this place?

Answer me.

I'm going to steal the Adamas.

To reveal that it was used for the murder,

the autopsy result and Adamas
must be collated.

Would Haesong cooperate?

No, never.

-Are you out of your mind?
-You need to help me.

-Why should I?
-You called me here.

Soon after I got the letter,

I was offered
to ghostwrite the chairman's memoir.

By coincidence?

Apparently, someone highly recommended me.

-Since you sent me the letter--
-It wasn't me.

I didn't recommend you.

-Then who…
-That's the problem.

Nothing happens by coincidence here.

NEWS ANCHOR: Moving on.

A couple in their fifties died of a fall

from an apartment
in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul this evening.

It's assumed that the husband ended up

murdering his wife
after suffering from nursing her.

Let's hear more from Reporter Seo Yeonjin.

REPORTER:
Kim's wife, Im, got into a car accident

and suffered extensive injuries
in July 2000.

She couldn't sustain her life
without any help.

The police are assuming
that Kim was exhausted

from nursing his wife that he ended up

murdering her
and taking his own life by jumping from

-their apartment.
-He killed himself?

REPORTER: After the accident,
Kim had nursed his wife alone

for more than 21 years.

The police find it highly probable
that these circumstances

-were the cause of this incident.
-It can't be.

REPORTER:
They're investigating the details

by interviewing the bereaved
and witnesses.

This is such a tragic incident.

Who are you?

(closing theme music)

MR. CHOI: I need you to leave this house.

People around you will face harm
instead of you.

No one ever survived.

SEOHEE: I shouldn't have come to you
in the first place.

SUHYEON: It's my turn now.

I will catch them no matter what.

It's good to see you again.

I need your help, Mr. Lee.

MS. KWON: "The letter you sent me"?

WOOSIN: If you wish to keep
my mouth shut, leave Suhyeon alone.

If you want to threaten me,
do it properly.

HYESOO: I have something to tell you, sir.

KWON: I'm still thinking
about what to do with you.
