(emotive music)

(emotive music continues)

EUNKANG: All relationships change when you cross the line.

(emotive music continues)

Today, I...

...kissed a boy.

(slurping)

(chuckles, clears throat)

Hey. (clears throat)

Do you want to have breakfast with me tomorrow?

I always skip breakfast.

-Sorry. -I see.

EUNKANG: And some relationships don't change as much as you expect.

But one thing for sure is that

if you want change in a relationship, you need the courage to cross the line.

MR. KANG

HANNA: I don't think I can do you favors anymore. I'm sorry.

(sent message tone)

(whimsical music)

EUNKANG: The courage to put an end to the current relationship.

ARI: Okay.

You don't seem to get it, so let me ask again.

Why did you give me the strawberries?

-Because you like them. -ARI: Exactly!

Why would you care what I like?

And you did it only for me, acting like you didn't care.

Why did you do that?

(heart pounding)

EUNKANG: The courage to risk rejections.

(heart pounding)

I like you.

Tsss... (gasps)

See? I knew it.

I had the feeling you did.

I don't want to give you any pressure, though.

I know it's one-sided, so don't worry about it.

How can I not worry about it when it's so obvious?

(sniffs) Was it obvious?

Of course.

I know you helped Hanna with the training to make me jealous.

That's not true. (chuckles)

At the time, my circumstances...

Well, anyway, it had nothing to do with you.

Whatever. You failed to make me jealous anyway.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

-You didn't hear anything from me today... -(in English) Stop.

(sighs)

(quirky music)

Give me some time.

I mean, I need some time to think.

I'm shocked because I didn't know you'd suddenly confess your feelings.

I understand. So don't worry about it...

(screaming) I said, give me some time!

(meows)

(clears throat)

I'll let you know when I'm ready to give you my answer.

(swallows)

(quirky music continues)

(theme music)

(thrilling music)

(rasps)

(thrilling music continues)

(clears throat)

(sighs) It wasn't easy, but I got it.

Released eight months ago, it's been out of stock since.

PC Four Pro.

At last, it has come into my hands.

-(applauding) -(Juyoung exhales sharply)

It's a used one, but it's just as good as new.

Now, let me tell you about this video game console...

(yawning)

(mouthing) Hurry up.

(clears throat) All right. Now, let me open

this gorgeous PC Four Pro.

-(drum roll) -JUYOUNG: Come closer.

Here we go.

-Hey, film it. -Okay.

-JUYOUNG: It's packed really nicely. -(Daeil chuckling)

-JUYOUNG: My gosh. It's here. -Wow.

-Film it. -Do you see it?

Make sure to film everything. What do you think?

(paper rustling)

I got it. I got it. (gasps)

(exclaiming)

-JUYOUNG: I got it. -Ta-da...

JUYOUNG: What's this?

Huh?

SEUNGHYUN: And?

That's the end of the story.

She spent her 450,000 won for nothing.

Did she not check the fraud database beforehand?

She did, but the number wasn't on the list then.

She wired the money to someone named Lee Sehyun,

but she couldn't reach the seller since. They just vanished.

-Did she call the police? -She did, but I doubt they'll be caught.

The police said it's a burner phone. Even if they find out whose phone it is,

-it'll be hard to get the money back. -A burner phone?

My. They sound like professional crooks.

It was just a stroke of bad luck.

You can never catch those meticulous frauds.

(sighs)

Hey.

Do you know you're the talk of the town now?

So you're the princes of KNPU?

(Jieun scoffs)

(whimsical music)

47TH CHEONGRAM SPORTS FESTIVAL TALENT SHOW #1

Wooyong, did you see this?

So many people are watching the video I posted.

"The princes of KNPU rocked the stage."

"You guys are thieves. You stole my heart in broad daylight."

"These guys should be national treasures."

(quirky music)

Hey, I told you to write about the festival, not the talent show.

The talent show is also a part of the sports festival.

Still. The winning team's games are supposed to be the main video.

-And the dean's speech is too short. -Now, let's begin the 47th...

-WOOYONG: Anyway, change the main video. -Okay.

Oh, right. Good luck with the field trip on the weekend.

ARI: Thank you.

(door shuts)

But people love it.

(whimsical music)

(keyboard clacking)

(keyboard clacks)

(scoffs)

Why is he so cute?

ARI: You handsome country boy.

This is why you're getting so many comments.

(giggles)

Anyway, I told him to wait. When should I call him?

It's been three days, so...

(sighs) I should wait at least a week.

(gasps) Oh, my class.

RESEARCH & LECTURE BUILDING

(suspenseful music)

(paper rustling)

(suspenseful music continues)

Since there is only one beer glass,

we can assume that the victim was sitting here, drinking alone.

ICE CAPSULE

I think there were more than two people here.

There are two cigarette butts in the ashtray.

And they're from different brands.

HANNA: Smokers usually stick to one brand they like.

There's a chance one belongs to the culprit.

Good. What else?

There's no sign of forced entry.

It's likely it was done by an acquaintance.

Did the victim have company?

She was with her boyfriend when she checked in.

Then her boyfriend is the prime suspect.

The case report says the boyfriend's semen was found in her body.

EUNKANG: Seeing the victim's belongings are on the floor,

the man seems to have run away after raping her and killing her on impulse.

At the beginning of the investigation,

the detectives also considered her boyfriend the key suspect.

Because the DNA samples from the semen and the cigarette butt

matched the boyfriend's.

But there's a twist...

in this case.

Has anyone found anything else in this crime scene?

There's a possibility that the victim wasn't murdered in this room.

There's a bloodstain here.

SEUNGHYUN: I think the victim was already bleeding

when she entered the room.

Maybe the victim had a scuffle with the culprit in here.

That can't be the case

because there are no other bloodstains on the walls or furniture,

and the room is fairly clean.

It's hard to imagine there was a scuffle here.

I think it's more reasonable to assume that she was hurt outside,

and died in this room after being moved here.

(chuckles)

Sometimes, a small clue on the crime scene can change

the whole flow of the investigation.

And that's what happened in this case.

(foreboding music)

UGON: The lead detective of the case

also found the bloodstain in front of the door suspicious.

So he went out of the room and searched the entire corridor.

(foreboding music continues)

And there he found another bloodstain of the victim,

which was made while the victim was being moved.

He kept following the clues and eventually,

he caught the culprit who murdered two more women in the same way.

What about her boyfriend then?

Did he have nothing to do with it?

Six hours before the incident...

6 HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT

JUYOUNG: Don't go.

UGON: The two had a little squabble after having sex.

The woman's boyfriend got angry and went home.

(suspenseful music)

Left alone, the woman drank some beer ordered through room service.

Then she went to the bar on the basement floor to cheer herself up.

(both laughing)

There, she met the man, who had almost raped her...

(bottle shatters)

...but then murdered her.

(suspenseful music continues)

(heavy footsteps)

(splats)

(foreboding music)

The culprit went into her room using her keycard, laid her on the bed,

made the room look as if there'd been a sexual assault,

and ran away.

(foreboding music continues)

(music fades)

(class exclaims)

But unfortunately, they failed to reveal the truth then.

So her innocent boyfriend

had to live in prison for three years.

How did they catch the culprit then?

(inhales) Let me ask you a question first.

What are the three principles of criminal investigation?

May I?

Quick start, preservation of evidence,

-and cooperation. -(in English) Good.

Correct. However, that's not the answer I wanted.

The three principles of criminal investigation

are blood, sweat, and tears.

(uplifting music)

Never overlook even a single drop of blood.

Keep running until your feet get all sweaty.

And eventually, wipe the victim and their family's tears.

These are the three principles of criminal investigation.

Now, let me tell you how they caught the real culprit.

The wrongly imprisoned man filed a petition,

and the detective who got the petition reopened the case.

If the detective had given up in the middle...

(uplifting music continues)

...this case would have remained a mystery,

and they wouldn't have been able to catch the real culprit.

In reality,

crime scenes are nothing like those from novels and TV shows.

Track down the criminal at all costs.

If you don't give up,

eventually you're bound to find the real culprit. Understood?

STUDENTS: Yes, sir.

(uplifting music)

(sighs)

Was it fun?

-JUYOUNG: Hey, wait. -Blood, sweat, and tears.

Guys. Are you free tomorrow?

Why?

I'm going to catch that punk myself.

What?

JUYOUNG: Look.

This is the invoice of the package that fraud, Lee Sehyun sent me.

I tracked the shipment, and look.

The package was first picked up

at West Warehouse in Cheongu, Gyeonggi Province.

This means that punk sent the package to Cheongu.

If we go there and search the tracking number,

we'll find out which convenience store that punk sent it from.

-I see. -Right.

Then I'll go to the convenience store and...

When was it sent? What does the invoice say?

JUYOUNG: It's 3:34 p.m.

If I check the footage of the security camera in the store,

I can see this fraudster's face.

(gasps)

Oh, my gosh. That's so logical.

Cheongu isn't that far from here. It's like an hour away.

(stammering) Are you going there?

-Of course! -Wow. You're even going to the scene.

(clears throat)

You see, he even used a burner phone. It means he does this all the time.

(mouthing) Let's go.

If I don't do anything about this, there will be another victim.

I need to go there and crush him.

Good luck, my friend.

What? You want me to go there alone?

What a shame. I have so many things to do tomorrow.

Oh, no. I also have so much homework to do.

-JUYOUNG: Oh, come on. -(feet squeak)

As squadmates, you can't do this to me.

If you keep acting like this,

I won't let you play my consoles again.

I need your cooperation.

(quirky music)

Sit.

-Did you say it was Cheongu? -Yes.

-It's only an hour away from here. -Cheongu...

(keyboard clacking)

(clears throat)

Aren't you going home?

What?

Uh...

I'm staying at school this weekend.

I see.

I'm going to stop by the cleaner's on my way out.

We can wear casual outside this week, so I'm getting my uniforms cleaned.

I can drop off yours too if you want.

No, I'm good.

-Okay. -HANNA: Leave it here.

I'll drop yours off later on my way to lunch.

Really? That's so nice of you.

-(bag rustles) -Thank you.

Have a good weekend.

-Okay. Have fun. -Thanks.

(engine revving)

(awkward music sting)

(sucks lips)

(quirky music)

(quirky music continues)

(rasps)

(quirky music)

What? Really?

Yes. Sunyu is going abroad

because Juchan dumped her.

They were going out?

You didn't know? They were together for two years.

(gasps) That's a long time.

They've probably gotten to home base already then.

FEMALE STUDENT 1: Of course.

FEMALE STUDENT 2: Unbelievable.

FEMALE STUDENT 1: I know, right?

YANGJAE STATION (SEOCHO-GU OFFICE) EXIT 8

YANGJAE STATION

(hissing)

(sighs)

How about tteokbokki for dinner?

That sounds awesome.

(chuckles)

-Hey, Seunghyun. -Yes?

Are... you free today?

What, today?

Well, it's Myunghoon's birthday today.

We're going to grab a drink around here. Do you want to join us?

But I...

-Do you have plans? -Yes.

Actually, Myunghoon said

he'd like to make up with you. That's why I asked.

WOOYONG: Oh, well.

All right, then.

-I think Myunghoon wants to talk to you. -We can talk later.

-I think you should just join them. -But what about tteokbokki?

We can have it tomorrow.

-But I don't want to go. -You know how Myunghoon can be petty.

Just go. Otherwise he'll talk behind your back today.

Then could you wait for me in a café nearby?

I'll be right back.

-See you later. -Okay.

SEUNGHYUN: Wooyong!

Wooyoung.

(vehicles honking)

(trilling)

Do what you want to do.

Then I will buy

your dream.

The future and the company you dream of.

We will make that together.

(audience cheering)

(uplifting music)

INVESTING IN YOUNG ADULTS' DREAMS

I was like you once.

When I was studying in the US,

I stayed up all night, writing a business plan with my colleagues

and I worked my butt off to find investors.

I had scholarships in an Ivy League school,

so I was pretty confident.

But my hopes were brutally crushed.

(audience laughing)

I knocked on numerous doors and got rejected countless times.

Do you know what I learned from that?

I learned how to get used to rejection and adjusting to change.

As Charles Darwin once said,

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives,

nor the most intelligent.

It is the one most adaptable to change."

So I want you to keep

these two things in mind

if you want to sell your dreams.

Thank you.

(audience cheering, applauding)

(uplifting music)

(phone camera clicks)

ARI: Jo Hansol's Talk Concert.

Fifty seats only, and I got one of them.

CEO Jo Hansol is so cool!

(music fades)

(crickets creaking)

-(girls giggling) -(approaching footsteps)

It's okay.

-How can I help you? -Can I please take a photo with you?

Oh, sure. (chuckles)

BOTH: Thank you.

I'm not a celebrity, though. (chuckles)

In three, two, one.

(phone camera clicks)

Thank you.

-Please. -Three, two, one.

(phone camera clicks)

ARI: Thank you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Can I...

Thank you.

(giggling)

(footsteps receding)

What's next?

You have an appointment in Migeun-dong.

(crickets creaking)

MIGEUN FORTUNE RESTAURANT

This really hits the spot.

SINYU CLUB'S REGULAR GATHERING

Hey, Mr. Commissioner.

About Senior Superintendent Park from Class 20...

Why did Superintendent General turn down his promotion?

He's a smart kid.

Apparently, he had a hand in stock manipulation

when working at the Financial Supervisory Service.

You should have stood up for him as his senior.

CHANGHO: I can't really defend him because the article is already published.

It seemed like he had to fix the whole thing

and was about to be investigated.

-Gosh, that punk... -(cellphone buzzes)

Anyway,

this is the first time that all our KNPU graduates

failed to get promoted.

INMYEON: It's so embarrassing. I can't even look at my seniors!

Get it together, okay?

Hey. You.

JANG DUKJIN (CURRENT CONGRESSMAN, KNPU CLASS 16)

Yes?

You're close to Secretary Hong at the Office of Civil Affairs, right?

You once worked with him in the Blue House.

Right. I did.

-Arrange a dinner together. -Well...

(chuckles awkwardly) Well, it may seem suspicious, so...

-Goodness. Hey, take his badge away. -Yes, sir.

(exclaiming)

Come on. Don't be like that. (chuckles)

Let me fill your glass.

Don't forget,

you got that badge all thanks to our alumni's hard work.

-Okay. I won't. -(cup clinks)

Salute!

(cups clinking)

Why aren't you drinking?

I have a meeting tomorrow morning.

I'm meeting the Commissioner.

Staying dry since you're still on the force?

-That's not it. -Hey, Giyong.

Soon, you'll be the one leading this club.

You should be the leader, so don't act like a guest.

Sorry, sir.

He's my junior, but he's so unfriendly to me.

Well, that's just how he is. He's always cold.

He's very loyal to the agency, though.

Being loyal to this group is being loyal to the agency.

All right. Now, raise your glasses.

(chairs scrape)

Those, who pass through here, are trusted...

ALL: By the country!

(glass clinks)

(all exclaiming)

(beeps)

-MALE RESTAURANT OWNER: Here you go. -Thank you.

MALE RESTAURANT OWNER: Thank you.

(indistinct chattering)

(Inmyeon laughing)

It's like you're the president of this club.

You show up every time I try to pay the bill.

Well, I didn't want to ruin the long-awaited KNPU reunion.

Come on. Don't be like that.

-We're family. -(chuckles)

Right?

You disappointed me, Mr. Jo.

I promise to join you next time.

(all laughing)

It's a promise.

(laughing)

Hello, Commissioner Wi.

(exclaims) Now that Mr. Jo is here,

why don't we go to somewhere nice for another round?

I'll get going now, sir.

Oh, will you?

All right. We will meet another time then.

I'll see you guys at the next get-together then.

(Inmyeon laughing)

-Good night, sir. -(coughs)

Oh, well. Who's gone is gone.

Let's go have another round.

-(laughing) -I know a good place. Follow me.

That sounds great.

(club members laughing)

(indistinct chattering)

-MYUNGHOON: Seunghyun. -Yes?

MYUNGHOON: You know we went to the same high school, right?

Yes, I do.

Now, I want your honest answer. Okay?

Who do you like better? Insik?

Or me, who you spent such a long time with?

-(Myunghoon clears throat) -(glass thuds)

(upbeat music playing)

This is like

asking which of my parents I like better. I don't know what to say.

Why can't you just say it's Mom?

You see, seniors are supposed to love and care

about their juniors. I know that.

Are you saying I wasn't like that to you? Then I'm sorry!

If I have to choose one, I guess it's Mom.

(Myunghoon giggling)

(shushes)

I was a little upset today.

And I'm sure you were upset too.

Today, we will drink all those grudges away. Okay?

-The drinks are on you then. -Okay!

-Sounds good. -Drink up!

-All right. -Okay!

MYUNGHOON: Drink it in one go. Keep going.

(chuckles) Bottoms up.

(sips)

(light music playing)

(glass clinks)

SEUNGHYUN: You're still there, right?

I'm leaving soon. So please wait a little longer.

I'm sorry.

MYUNGHOON: Hey!

-Yes? -To be honest,

when I was a freshman,

I couldn't even

look at Hyuk's eyes. Right? Agreed?

-WOOYONG: Agreed. -Of course.

You freshmen...

(stammering) ...should know how lucky you are. Okay?

You see, now that we don't really discipline the freshmen,

I feel like the bond between us is gone.

-Tell me about it. -Right?

This is why we need to discipline our juniors.

MYUNGHOON: Tell me about it.

It really upsets me, Seunghyun. (yelps)

I'm sorry, sir.

Let me fill your glass.

(quirky music)

(exclaiming)

That's a lot.

Drink up.

Honestly, we couldn't even look at Hyuk's eyes. Okay?

MYUNGHOON: Right? Agreed?

Of course.

You know, you freshmen...

INSIK: You should know how lucky you are.

But really, now that we don't really discipline the freshmen,

(munching) I feel like the bond

between us is gone.

-MYUNGHOON: Tell me about it. -INSIK: We need discipline.

I'm so upset. Seunghyun!

-Yes? -You're so cool. Let me fill your glass.

Myunghoon, you seem pretty drunk.

Me? Not at all.

(in English, Korean) Water. This is water. (chuckles)

INSIK: Hey, you're drunk. How about this?

Let's go when we finish this.

Honestly, when I was a freshman,

I couldn't even look at Hyuk's eyes.

Gosh! You freshmen should know how lucky you are.

-You were born at a great time. -INSIK: Tell me about it.

Honestly, now we don't discipline the freshmen...

-We need discipline! We do! -MYUNGHOON: How many times did I tell you?

-WOOYONG: Discipline! -MYUNGHOON: What do you say?

-We need it! -MYUNGHOON: Don't you agree?

-Hey, Seunghyun. Thanks. -I'll get going then.

-Okay. Good night then. -Hey. That's not important.

-You're drunk. -This is the heaviest.

(groans)

-Heaviest... -Let's go.

-MYUNGHOON: Seunghyun! -Have a good night!

Salute.

(blows raspberry)

(groans)

(light music playing)

EUNKANG: It's getting late, so I'll go home.

We're practicing driving tomorrow, so don't drink too much.

Right. Here's my address.

(sighs)

(thuds)

-(clatters) -(flame whooshes)

Hey. You said you'd have dinner outside.

I wasn't able to.

-(clatters) -Hmm.

We don't have any noodles?

We don't? If it isn't in there, we don't have any.

-Mm. -(clatters)

-I can make you some noodle soup. -What? No, I'm good.

I can just go to the convenience store.

Go to bed. I'll go grab something there.

Okay, then.

(dogs barking in distance)

-(beeps) -(crickets creaking)

-(sighs) -SEUNGHYUN: I'm here...

Jeez, what's this guy doing here?

-Gosh... -(Seunghyun mumbles)

(Seunghyun mumbling)

(emotive music)

Huh?

Hey! Seunghyun!

-Hey! It's Eunkang. -What are you doing here?

(in sing-song) Tteokbokki.

(rustling)

(chuckles)

You came all the way here to give me this?

You said you wanted some.

Hey. Can you stand up? Wake up.

Stand up, Seunghyun.

(emotive music continues)

(crickets creaking)

(munches)

(munching)

(emotive music)

(plastic rustles)

Seunghyun. I'm done eating. Wake up.

(mumbling)

You should go home.

(groans)

(whimsical music)

(water burbles)

(thuds)

(Seunghyun groans)

(door closes)

(whimsical music continues)

(grunts)

(grunts)

(sighs)

(whimsical music)

(grunts)

(exhales sharply)

I don't know. I'm sleepy too.

I'm so sleepy.

(sighs)

(whimsical music continues)

(sighs)

You know what? You took the blanket,

so it's only fair that I take the pillow.

(sighs)

(whimsical music)

(music stops)

(birds chirping)

Hey! Seunghyun!

It's Eunkang.

-(in sing-song) Tteokbokki. -(chuckles)

EUNKANG: Hey.

(exhales sharply)

(birds chirping)

Where is it?

(groans)

You're awake.

What?

SEUNGHYUN: Yes.

(Eunkang groans)

I was curled up the whole night, my body aches.

Sorry.

So you remember what happened?

Well, let's talk about it later.

You should go before my family wakes up.

If they see you, things will get complicated.

HIUSUK: Eunkang! Are you awake?

(tense music)

What do we do?

(sizzling)

(doorknob clicks)

(door creaks open)

(crockery clanging)

(door creaks open)

-MIKANG: Mom, we're out of conditioner. -HIUSUK: What? Okay.

-Mikang. -Yes?

-One second. -MIKANG: What are you doing?

-EUNKANG: There's something here. -MIKANG: What is it?

-EUNKANG: Here. -MIKANG: What?

What is it?

EUNKANG: There's something. Really. There's something here.

-MIKANG: What are you doing? -EUNKANG: Here...

MIKANG: What? What is it?

I must have seen it wrong.

Sorry.

(whimsical music)

Who are you?

Hello.

(crockery clanging)

Come on. Eat up.

Yes, ma'am.

(slurps)

(munches)

So you're

-Eunkang's classmate? -Yes.

He's one year older than her.

We've met before, right?

-Yes. -How?

He's my ex's friend.

He's going to help me practice driving today.

You know, I need to get a driver's license to graduate.

EUNKANG: And apparently, he already got one in high school.

So I asked him to help me.

-I can save money this way. -So...

-he came this morning? -Yes.

But he smells like alcohol. Is he going to drive drunk?

(grunts)

-What are you talking about? -(groaning)

(whimsical music)

Seunghyun.

Where's your other sock?

(whimsical music continues)

(chuckles)

Is it in Eunkang's room? Do you want me to go look for it?

Gosh! Please!

(whimsical music)

(sighs)

Fine! He did sleep here. He slept in my room last night. Happy?

Not together though. I slept on the bed and Eunkang slept on the floor.

Why did my daughter sleep on the floor?

Well, I couldn't move him. He was so drunk.

He came here so late, and I didn't know where he lived,

so I just brought him in and let him sleep here.

(sighs) My gosh.

(chuckles awkwardly)

Call me old-fashioned,

but even if you're just classmates,

a man and woman shouldn't sleep in the same room.

What you did was not right.

But nothing happened...

Then why was he sneaking out?

If he didn't do anything wrong, he should have greeted us.

-He's right. -I'm sorry.

Dad, you don't need to worry. They almost hate each other.

Eunkang once even called him a bastard.

And Seunghyun also said to her that if he ever sees her again

he'd kill her.

Well, that's...

That was all because of you.

Was it?

Anyway, they'll never ever date each other.

MIKANG: Right? (chuckles)

HUISUK: You never know. Anything can happen.

You see, your dad and I used to be sworn enemies.

(clears throat)

He was the volleyball coach when I was in high school.

He was such a nagger, and he had such a bad temper too.

He would cuss all the time.

HUISUK: Gosh, he was so horrible.

In the end, I quit volleyball because I hated him so much.

Gosh, your mom is just being shy. (chuckling)

If you hated me so much, why did you do that on graduation day?

-(chuckling) -What did I do?

Don't you remember what you did to my car?

(quirky music)

-You knew it was me? -Of course.

You're the only one who would do something like that.

Your mom put a rose... (laughing)

...on the hood of my car with a card.

YANGCHUL: So I read the card.

"Coach Ko, I will never forget you. I love you."

(chuckling) "From H."

And there was a heart next to it.

She was practically proposing to me!

And it made me weak.

Gosh. Seriously.

If she hadn't done that, you wouldn't even exist right now.

-Okay? Geez. -HUISUK: Wait.

-(Yangchul clears throat, chuckles) -HUISUK: What do you mean?

What do you mean, a rose and a card?

(whimsical music)

(gasps)

I thought you put them.

HUISUK: Why would I do that?

I hated you so much I even scratched your car!

(gasps)

It was you. You're the one who scratched my car.

That was... my first car!

HUISUK: I know! I scratched it because it was your precious first car!

Gosh!

(exhales sharply)

(blows air)

-Hey, you. -Yes?

-You better leave. -Pardon?

We're about to find out what happened 25 years ago.

So anyone who is not our family must leave now.

Yes, that sounds fair.

We'll go now. Good luck with the fight.

Thanks.

EUNKANG: Good luck.

-Goodbye. -You can do it.

Keep it up.

So what about the rose and card? Explain that first.

That's not the problem.

I hope you understand. Still, we managed to escape.

I bet they don't like me.

(laughs)

No way. This is actually the best thing about my family.

-They're so forgiving. -It didn't seem so. At least Mikang isn't.

Ahh...

Right.

The bus is here.

Get home safely.

-Rest up. See you tomorrow. -SEUNGHYUN: Okay.

Seunghyun.

Thanks for the tteokbokki. (chuckles)

(uplifting music)

(bus hissing)

(engine revs)

CHEONGU STATION

JUYOUNG: Hey. Hurry up, will you?

I am coming.

Could you smile a bit?

Don't be so cranky.

ALL: What?

We don't work today.

Don't you know about the five-day workweek?

All staff went home this afternoon.

I mean, look. It's all closed.

(sighs)

NO ENTRY

JUYOUNG: What do we do now?

What else do we do?

We should come back on a weekday.

JUYOUNG: But we came all the way here. No way.

Gosh.

-The code. -What?

(tense music)

I heard every convenience store has a store code.

If the invoice has the code on it, we can find out which store it is.

(tense music continues)

-DAEIL: But the invoice doesn't... -JUYOUNG: Hey!

Isn't this it?

STORE CODE: 12902300453

Let's call the head office of this convenience chain.

They'll tell us which store's code this is.

-Gosh. I got goosebumps. -Wait.

-(phone beeps) -(phone line ringing)

Hello?

FEMALE OPERATOR (on phone): We're sorry to inform you

that our offices are currently closed.

Our regular business hours are weekdays from 10 a.m. to...

(phone beeps)

I guess we have only one option now.

Let's go.

-Go where? -All the Hi Convenience Stores in Cheongu.

We barely just started. And we can't give up here.

What has gotten into him?

You know, you sometimes get all excited about totally random things.

I mean, this store has so many branches.

What's the three principles of criminal investigation?

Blood, sweat, and tears?

That's right.

Let's run around until our feet get all sweaty.

I'm with you. If I get a new console, you'll be the first to play.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Wait up.

NAMGI: You've been wondering

why I was sent to the countryside

when I was a successful detective in Seoul.

It's because the police are corrupt.

And KNPU is the main cause.

Frontline officers like me do all the hard work

just so that the higher-ups can get promotions.

Then when they're caught, they turn a blind eye to it.

Do you know what happened

-ten years ago? -No.

(dramatic music)

And I don't want to hear it.

You can tell me how unfair everything is,

but I can't help you anymore.

After all, I'm also a student of the school you hate so much.

You've changed a lot.

I had no idea you had this ambition to succeed

-using the fancy KNPU connection you have. -Mr. Kang. Don't judge me.

I don't even know myself what I will become.

The reason I helped you was because I owed you.

You were the only grown-up who cared about me.

(sighs)

But I can't help you anymore.

Thank you for everything.

(dramatic music continues)

(wind chimes tinkle)

(foreboding music)

UGON: I thought I could do some reading here on the weekend.

Then I heard a familiar voice. May I sit?

(chair thuds, scrapes)

This café is so quiet,

I couldn't help but overhear you.

I thought you said you didn't know Ms. Gi Hanna.

Well, I'm not obligated to tell you all about my relationship with others.

Right.

But as a teacher, it is my duty to protect my students

from anyone who harasses them.

I won't let you do this.

Interesting.

You said before that you'd protect your students.

But the question is, can you really protect others?

You ran away when Hyunsoo died in vain.

NAMGI: How do you intend on protecting them now?

(dramatic music)

You're right.

I was a coward then.

(breathes deeply)

And I'm regretting it.

So I don't want to make that same mistake.

Whatever.

You're not so different from Commissioner Wi.

You were going to use her for your own motives and abandon her.

What?

You don't know even one-tenth of what Commissioner Wi did.

-What do you mean? -Why don't you go ask him yourself?

Ask him what he sold off to join Sinyu Club.

Sinyu Club?

(inhales)

Is that the reason...

you used a student to try to abolish KNPU?

Even if KNPU gets abolished, Sinyu Club won't be disbanded.

The club will always exist in the police

in different forms, under different names.

Looks like being in the school made you a dogmatist.

(sucks lips)

(dramatic music)

You'll see.

The ones who'll disband Sinyu Club

won't be you or me,

but those kids.

(dramatic music rises)

(music fades)

Hey, if you have a criminal history on your school record,

you won't be able to go to a good college.

It was reckless of you. Go home now.

NAMGI: Stop cutting class and focus on your studies.

(light music)

(sighs)

(engine revs)

(horn honks)

Hello, sir.

-Are you going to school now? -Yes.

-I was just taking some fresh air. -I'm on my way to school too.

-I can give you a ride. -No, sir. It's okay. I'd like to walk.

-Okay, then. -Thank you.

UGON: Hanna.

Remember?

You can't fix what's already happened,

but what you do in the future is up to you.

-Yes, sir. -Good. Don't get lost

and see you at school.

Thank you, sir.

(engine revs)

(engine revving)

STORE CLERK: Store code?

All convenience stores have store codes.

Could you tell me what yours is? I need that code... Whoa!

DAEIL: What?

PACKAGE SHIPPING FOR NON-MEMBERS

HI CONVENIENCE STORE

(female voice on machine) Please attach the printed invoice on your package

and give it to the staff at the counter.

STORE CODE: 12902400454 CUSTOMER COPY

Not here.

This is going to take a while. Let's split up and look for the store.

HI CONVENIENCE STORE

(whimsical music)

(wind chime tinkles)

(Daeil sighs)

(wind chime tinkles)

(whimsical music continues)

Have a good day.

HI CONVENIENCE STORE CHEONGU BEST BRANCH

(sighs)

That was a hell of a lot of work.

Hey. We checked like 50 stores today, right?

Mm-mm.

Just 47.

We only have 73 to check tomorrow.

(laughing)

Hey.

Am I the only one feeling like...

we're working more than we should because we're stupid?

But there's no other way.

It might not be the smartest way, but it's the best way.

(dramatic music)

(sighs)

That damn blood, sweat, and tears...

It's making me tear up.

(sighs) Let's go.

We've got to go to bed early so we can wake up early.

(chuckling)

(sighs)

SOOKJA: Seunghyun.

I'm going to the temple today. Could you drive me...

Are you going somewhere?

Yes. I'm meeting a friend.

Is that so?

-Who's the friend? -A friend from school.

We're going to practice driving.

Is it a girl?

Yes, she's a classmate.

Mm...

(gasps) Hey. Were you with that friend yesterday

-and not at school? -What?

-Were you? -No.

I've got to go. I'm late.

Wait. I want to talk to you.

Hey. Let's talk...

(gasps)

There's something fishy going on.

(Eunkang sighs)

-Did you tell her? -If I did, I wouldn't be here right now.

Because my mom would have asked me so many questions.

Good.

We should be really careful now.

Don't even tell Tak about this.

He is good at keeping secrets.

He might be able to keep a secret, but it shows on his face.

-He can't hide his feelings. -Okay. I'll be careful.

(smack lips)

By the way, you're qualified to teach me driving, right?

I got my driver's license when I was a high school senior,

which was two years ago.

All right. Now, shall we?

(engine rumbles)

Wait, what's wrong with this?

(engine rumbles)

Relax and try again slowly.

(chuckles)

I've never driven on the actual road, so... Hold on.

-It's okay. Take your time. -Okay.

-Oh, it worked. -Good.

Excellent.

(engine rumbling)

That's right.

-Slowly. -Here we go.

-(Eunkang yelps) -Very good, Ms. Ko.

STUDENT DRIVER

SENGHYUN: Slowly.

HI CONVENIENCE STORE

Can you believe how unlucky we are? (munching)

Maybe we'll end up checking all 120 branches.

I know.

We should be really close though. We have to find it today.

Oh, well.

-Let's ask for backup. -What?

We can ask the guys who are at school this weekend.

What's Ari doing?

This is the Tower of Justice, the symbol of our school.

It was donated by the first graduates.

As you can see, it's a scale with a pillar that looks like a pen.

It means we will make justice by learning.

Now, I'll give you some time to take photos here.

(students clamoring)

Let's take photos.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Where are the KNPU princes?

-Pardon? -Are they not in school today?

Ahh... it's the weekend, so I'm not sure.

Does this guy have a girlfriend?

-Does he? -Or doesn't he?

I think he does.

(sighs)

(whining)

I told you!

This is devastating. This is so annoying!

ARI: Are you done taking photos?

Now, let's move on to the indoor shooting range.

Follow me.

(indistinct chattering)

In the indoor shooting range,

you'll get to try the virtual shooting program yourself.

(students clamoring)

Hey! It's him!

-Hey! -It's him!

(female students screaming)

-Hi! -Hello!

-Hi! -Hey!

Hey!

I saw you online. You're such a great dancer.

Hey!

-Can we take a photo together? -Girls, let's take a photo with him.

(female students clamoring)

(Ari blows whistle)

Hey!

Girls!

Come back! That's not where we're going.

Gosh!

-Quick, the photo! -(whistle blows)

(engine rumbling)

No. You have to make a wider turn.

If you turn it so close, you'll step on the line and lose a point.

I'm doing it.

(engine stops)

(groans) Why is this stalling again?

(sighs)

Why did it turn off again?

(whimsical music)

Why...

LITTLE JUYOUNG

(phone line ringing)

She's not picking up.

Let's just get it over with ourselves.

-All right. Call me if you find it. -Okay.

(engine rumbling)

(breathes heavily)

UNPROTECTED LEFT TURN

-(engine stops) -Oh...

(clacking)

Step on the clutch.

Right.

(engine starts)

(sighs)

(engine revving)

(machine whirring)

(female voice on machine) Please attach the printed invoice on your package

and give it to the staff at the counter.

One, two, nine, zero,

two, three, zero, zero.

Four, five, three?

Four... Four, five, three?

(exclaiming) Yes! I found it!

(tense music)

HI CONVENIENCE STORE

Hey, look. It's him.

He's wearing slippers. He must live in this neighborhood.

-Excuse me, ma'am. -Yes.

Does this guy come here often?

(suspenseful music)

Ah...

He comes often these days to send packages.

Nice.

Now, it's only a matter of time before we catch him.

-All right. -One.

-One. -One.

One, two, three.

-Gosh. we're such a horrible team. -Take this.

Let's go.

(engine revving)

(vehicles honking)

Seunghyun.

(vehicles honking)

Hey. Wake up.

(car honking)

(honking)

Hey! You think you own this road or what?

DRIVER: Hey!

Learn how to drive, you idiot!

How did you even get a license?

-Where are we? -I don't know.

-Are we on the highway? -I don't know. I just drove straight.

(sighs) You've really got no fear.

Hey. Take that road.

What if the power goes off again?

It's okay. I'll help you.

Slowly. Put your turn signal on.

STUDENT DRIVER

CHEONGU TERMINAL, CHEONGU

(slurping)

-BUMJU: Maybe he's not coming today. -(slurps)

Be patient. Crime scene rule number one,

criminals always return to the crime scene.

Why isn't he coming, though?

(engine revs)

DAEIL: Hmm?

(engine rumbling)

(engine stops)

(sighs)

I get that you're frustrated,

but I wouldn't be learning from you if I was a good driver.

I'm practicing because I'm not good.

But you keep yelling at me like that...

I can't do anything then.

I can't do it anymore.

I'm sorry.

I thought I'd teach you properly since it's your first time.

(Eunkang sniffles)

(somber music)

Don't cry.

Eunkang, I'm sorry.

(somber music continues)

I'm sorry.

-Please don't be mad. -Whatever.

(sobs)

I'm sorry.

(somber music)

(slurps)

Gosh. Kids these days...

I'm so jealous.

(upbeat music)

JUYOUNG: Hey, what are you doing?

(sucks teeth) That's practically criminal now.

-(chuckles) -Hold on.

(exclaiming)

JUYOUNG: Whoa. Hey.

(slurps)

Huh?

(door closes)

Hmm?

She won't pick up the phone. Did something happen to her?

-I wonder if she found the fraudster. -What?

SEUNGHYUN: I talked to Daeil on the phone yesterday,

and he said he's going to Cheongu to find the guy who scammed Juyoung.

She asked Daeil and Bumju to go with her.

He sounded so exhausted. (chuckles)

Ahh... I see. I should call her after having lunch.

Wait. We're in Cheongu now.

Do you think we might run into them here?

Come on. It's not like we're on a sitcom.

Right? (chuckles)

-JUYOUNG: Eunkang. -(gasps)

(romantic music)
