I bet that was Skunk.

He buys the item first,

then steals the money?

You always want to look cool, don't you?

Seven Joseon Tongbo coins with holes.

Who'd teach them a lesson if I don't?

Those who are always protected by the law...

should be punished by an outlaw.

You...

You're unbelievable.

"Seven damaged Joseon Tongbo coins."

Set off right now!

Must I keep failing?

Forgive me. I will never fail again.

Hwang Dae Myeong, you are under arrest.

Don't crush on me. You're not my type.

That's bull.

Let us meet Skunk.

So who is he?

It's me. I'm Skunk.

I'm Skunk.

Why you...

Welcome to Team Karma.

You are wicked reactionary rebels who dared to go against...

the Great Japanese Empire.

However...

Scum of the earth that lives off the blood of your own people.

You will suffer the wrath of the heavens.

Soon, you'll receive a punishment...

bestowed by the Emperor of Japan.

Do it.

(Kim Young Soo, aged 9)

(The year 1945)

Hiroshi!

Hiroshi.

Listen carefully.

From now on, speak only the Joseon language.

Your name's now Kim Young Soo, okay?

Now come with me. Get up.

(The year 1976)

Wow, how impressive.

Kim Young Soo, the new Minister of Construction...

was born to independence activists during the Japanese rule.

He was the youngest man to pass the bar exam,

and after rising up the ranks as a prosecutor,

he took an important role in the KCIA...

where he utilized his skill.

These are from a Baekje king's tomb...

found while paving the roads.

My gosh.

Clean up the whole site.

Inform the media of the tomb tomorrow.

Have Professor Yoo's team do the excavation.

Move all this to the foundation's storage.

Yes, sir.

These are notes written by...

the tomb's owner about eternal life.

It's a list of nonsensical stories.

Plant of eternal youth, water of life,

rock of eternal life, among others.

"Rock of eternal life?"

This book was stolen from the excavation site...

of a Baekje tomb.

Are you saying this book...

also mentions the rock of eternal life?

- Yes. Take a look.
- Okay.

(Joseon Conquest War Record)

It's a book written in diary format by the head of...

the Japanese army that specialized in stealing treasures...

that worked during the Japanese Invasion of 1592.

I see.

Kept in a secret room...

under the main shine of a temple.

The size of a man's fist.

- A shining red...
- "A shining red,"

"transparent rock."

"A blinking, brilliant light."

"A mysterious rock with great energy."

"Eternal life."

"Eternal life."

This place is pretty run-down. It's old.

But we're allowed to use the space for free.

Anyway, I hope you understand.

You should sit. Hey, get a chair.

- Oh, okay.
- Right.

Are you all right?

Chang Hoon, did you not check the desks?

Sorry. Would you like to sit here?

- Yes.
- Sit here.

Over here.

I don't think we can talk long.

- Get to the point.
- Oh, shall we?

So...

Mr. Hwang must've given you the gist.

We want to help with what you're doing.

We have all sorts of information,

and there are things you can't do alone...

First, talk to me about that book.

Okay. Sure.

(Episode 5)

- Let's work together.
- Okay.

But I have a condition.

Once we recover Joseon's treasures,

the next target is Mugunghwa Foundation.

Well, you needn't worry about that.

We'll work on that together from now on.

Anyway, thanks for making the tough call.

So, in the future,

since I don't see the need to contact you through Dae Myeong...

That's only natural. He is my greatest partner.

As if he is.

It looks like we're done here.

Give me the follow-up instructions through Dae Myeong.

Sure.

- I'll leave first, then.
- Okay.

Bye.

It's dry because it's winter.

- Okay.
- You were right, Captain.

The flower and crane celadon vase. It was Skunk, after all.

I must say, it is impressive.

Anyway, what does Mugunghwa Foundation do?

Oh. During the military dictatorship,

it was a secret agency under the Ministry of Construction,

which was in charge of finding cultural assets.

Now, it's an organization whose goal is to protect cultural assets.

The Ministry of Construction was in charge of finding cultural assets?

Back then, they were busy digging up the ground all over the country...

to develop land and build new cities,

and they discovered countless archaeological sites.

And every single time, Mugunghwa was the first to arrive at the scene.

The royal tombs that were discovered back then...

were not known before,

but every single one of them was missing the key artifacts.

The Minister of Construction at the time was none other than...

Kim Young Soo.

Well, it happened so many times.

Rumor has it that the artifacts that Mugunghwa stole back then...

were used to financially back some powerful politicians...

and to create a slush fund.

Something's very fishy about them.

But the most important thing is that...

the artifacts they couldn't take care of back then...

are still in Kim Young Soo's possession.

That jerk...

We've joined forces to teach those jerks a lesson.

Yes, Captain.

All right, Chang Hoon.

Starting tomorrow, focus on tracking down Doctor Ko.

- Yes, Captain.
- Good.

Min Woo, you're looking into Viper, right?

- Viper?
- Yes.

Oh, the one who has been murdering people...

because of the Joseon Tongbo coins with holes?

- Yes.
- Yes, I'm looking into him.

Good. Hey, how about you work...

- on the Doctor Ko case too?
- Pardon me?

- Hey, give her the list.
- Sure.

We need a fresh set of eyes.

You're new, you know. So take a look...

and try to figure out what we're missing.

Okay?

- Yes, sir.
- Good.

I like how eager she is.

All right. We really need to step up our game now.

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir.

- I'll meet Kim Young Soo tomorrow.
- Already?

I should start provoking that fox now so he'd make a move.

He needs to make a move for him to make a mistake.

Let's go!

Are you sure this is the right thing to do?

We need their help, you know.

Even so, a thief joining hands with the police...

It will be dangerous.

No, don't worry.

I've got nothing to lose anyway.

Anyway, who are you now? Skunk or Hwang Dae Myeong?

What?

Either wear the mask or take off the suit.

You keep confusing me.

Are you all right?

Dae Myeong.

Dae Myeong.

(18 years ago)

Mom, I'm home.

I'm fine now,

so go get some rest.

You have quite the temper, just like your master.

Is he about two years old?

Hey, what's your name?

I see. You can't speak human language?

What about you guys? You can't speak?

Hey, what happened to your face?

- Who beat you up...
- He went hiking at night...

and rolled down the slope.

Oh, sir! How have you been?

It's been a while.

Go inside and get some rest.

Oh, boy. You must've rolled down a jagged slope.

Report it to the police!

Oh, my.

What's with this fuss at this early hour?

You barged into my home for no reason.

I was in the area, so I just wanted to stop by and say hello.

Now that you've said hello, you should get going.

I have important guests who visit me frequently.

If such an absurd-looking thing...

stands by the door all day like what happened last time,

it doesn't look nice.

An absurd-looking thing? You mean, me?

Right, I am one of a kind indeed.

Oh, that's right. You earned big money at the auction.

I hope you're all right.

Why do you ask?

Are you worried someone broke into my home or something?

Yes, I heard there were many petty thieves in this area.

So I was worried.

Does the Cultural Heritage Team have nothing to do these days?

No, we're very busy.

Many people are illegally concealing artifacts.

Just like you, sir.

If you keep harassing...

and accusing innocent people without any evidence,

you're bound...

to be punished for it, big time.

Oh, my. I'm scared.

Sir, you should get ready for the meeting.

Okay. You should get going.

I have an important meeting today.

Sir, about the artifact you inherited as a family treasure...

Ms. Han.

- It's okay.
- Yes, sir.

Tell me, sir.

I already donated everything...

to the government, and you know that.

But that's like a drop in the bucket.

And you stole a bunch...

when you were heading the Ministry of Construction.

Then bring a search warrant...

and look for them yourself.

Strangely enough, I cannot get them to issue a warrant.

But then again, even if I get a warrant,

I don't know where your secret storage is.

No wonder you're not worried.

Why don't you...

just write a novel?

But we're busting our butts now, so I'm sure we'll find them soon.

Since when did the government...

confiscate privately-owned land, assets,

and even family treasures...

that had been passed down for generations?

What a shame.

Your pro-Japanese ancestors...

forcibly took them from their own countrymen,

so you must return them to the government.

"Pro-Japanese," you say?

"Pro-Japanese."

"Pro-Japanese."

In this country, everything is blamed on the Pro-Japanese.

Aren't you tired of it?

Back then,

all the Pro-Japanese people...

were at the forefront of rebuilding the country.

This country wouldn't be where it is today if those people...

didn't do what they did after Korea regained independence.

This darn dog!

You.

What did you just say?

I mean...

I was talking about this. The dog's food bowl.

He has an expensive taste.

It must've been expensive.

Was it made in Japan?

You.

You could really get hurt if you kept this up.

I'll be fine as long as I don't go hiking at night.

Oh, sir.

By any chance...

Do you collect old coins?

There are so many Joseon Tongbo coins.

Why would I collect them?

Right, I see.

You need to leave.

I need to let the dogs out.

Yes, sure.

Of course.

Right.

By the way...

You do know...

that Joseon Tongbo isn't the only brass coin,

right?

I'd rather not see it.

What?

(Cultural Asset Looting Unit during the 1592 Japanese Invasion of Korea)

(A special Japanese unit that plundered books)

Did he get up on the wrong side of the bed?

Gosh.

Morning.

How was your business trip?

Good.

Wait. Where are you going?

To conduct business outside the office.

- Na Rae.
- I knew it.

Remember that file from before?

Darn it.

It's like I'm babysitting.

One might think you come by my place for coffee.

The aroma of the coffee you serve at your place...

is on a different level.

Run-of-the-mill espresso is nothing but bitter,

but quality espresso...

harbors a countless number of scents.

And I only have Italian coffee.

My gosh. Great,

excellent, beautiful.

Ms. Lee, has it been tough for you lately?

The uniform needs an upgrade.

Anyway, the coffee is that good.

The best quality beans from around the world...

No, we've said enough,

so get over here for our meeting.

Sure.

I went through all the data I could find,

but there was no official report on the lost cultural assets.

If there were one, it wouldn't still be around.

I guess.

Anyway...

Wait, what's this?

You're swimming in a bigger pond now,

so your uniform needs an upgrade.

No way. This would make me look incredible.

Tell me what other functions you need me to add.

I wouldn't mind flying.

So you've been wanting to fly.

Should I make it happen?

Is that even possible?

Of course. Who do you think you're talking to?

Let me see.

Would you like to fly like Ironman...

or Batman?

Now that I think about it, it might be a bit too much.

- Right? You went too far.
- Exactly.

That's right. Just stick to running.

- Okay.
- Good.

Get some rest while I get some exercise.

Sure. Get going.

What?

Where did he go?

Wait.

What's this?

(Requesting washboard abs)

What a nutjob.

I'm seeing signs of weak liver function.

Without constant treatment,

this could lead to a severe condition.

Right.

Then I can get a new one.

But you received a stomach transplant...

less than a year ago.

Too many of your organs have been replaced and...

Schedule a transplant. Get me a new one.

Sure.

We'll keep an eye on it for now and schedule a date later on.

Just like before, will you be providing the organ yourself?

Yes, of course.

Dr. Min, ever since I got my new stomach,

eating has become a joy of mine.

You really must stick to smaller portions now.

There's a good chance the cancer will be back.

I don't care.

I only need to hold out a little while longer.

Then, you will never have to operate on me...

ever again.

So, have you located Young Bae and Mi Young?

Yes, I hear they've been running a scam in Itaewon.

They must be done with stealing.

Why are you asking about them, though?

They used to work for Doctor Ko back when he was active.

Doctor Ko might put together a team again.

Anyway, I'll look for them.

Chang Hoon, go to China Town and check on the mines you set.

Got it.

Min Woo, what did you find?

Well, I set some of my own mines,

but I can't be sure just yet.

I'll tell you once I have something concrete.

Got it. Keep up the good work, then.

- And stay safe.
- Sure.

- Keep in touch.
- Got it.

- Have a good one.
- Sure.

(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)

So you're saying that 500 years ago,

a Spanish trading ship sank off the shore of the southern sea,

and there are heaps of gold coins...

and gold bars in it.

That's right. The treasure is worth 250 trillion won.

Again, 250 trillion won.

The Spain royal family signed this contract...

stating that we are exclusively in charge of the ship's recovery.

It's not like we know what this is.

It's in a foreign language.

That is why I came to you with a lawyer.

I have fully reviewed all related documents.

I have invested all my savings in this project,

so there's nothing to worry about.

What should we do, honey?

Well, we'd like to make an investment,

but we're short on cash.

We did put our building on the market, though.

At how much are you hoping to sell it?

At a price of 3.5 billion won,

someone will take it soon.

Once we receive the down payment, we will invest it all.

As for the rest of the payment...

If you wait a few months,

we could at least invest 3 billion won in total.

The 500 million won that is left will be for our expenses.

Hold on a second.

What if Chairman Kim bought your building...

and gave you the subtracted amount instead?

Yes, that sounds like a plan.

My company can cover about 500 million won,

so we could make a deal right now.

- Really?
- Of course.

Then you should do just that.

Since there's a lawyer present,

it's the perfect opportunity...

to sign both the property sales contract...

and the investment contract.

(Property Sales Contract)

(Investment Contract)

Honey, isn't this great?

Right?

He seems to be delighted.

Goodness. Please have your coffee.

(Buyer: Kim Young Bae, Guarantor: Sim Mi Young)

Yes!

Are we allowed to make money this easily?

Just a second.

Hello, sir.

Did you look into it?

I see. I'll be right there, then.

Sure.

- Who was it?
- A realtor in the neighborhood.

Someone just offered...

to buy the building for 5 billion won in cash!

Hey, there. You two seem delighted.

Gosh.

Did you win the lottery?

Goodness, Senior Inspector Jang. I didn't expect...

to see you here.

Have you been well?

What kind of scam have you been running lately?

A scam?

Gosh, you're speaking nonsense.

Think wisely.

If you get caught this time,

you'll receive aggravated punishment.

Gosh.

Don't you worry about us.

That won't happen.

You cheeky little...

What did I do?

Where's Doctor Ko?

Doctor Ko? Is he still not dead?

Why come to us looking for him?

Can't you let go first?

Oh, dear.

Honey, are you all right?

We haven't seen him in over ten years.

You also know how things ended badly between us.

We really don't know.

If we were to see him out and about,

we'd report him first.

He conned us.

Yes, that's right.

Doctor Ko's back on the move.

Call me if he gets on your radar.

Or you'll end up with me on your case forever.

Don't worry.

We'll look for him everywhere.

Gosh. I am kind of jealous of you.

You look happy.

Darn you.

What did you do?

I was following you to close the door.

Are you all right, darling?

- It must hurt.
- I'm not okay.

Think of what we've earned today.

(Mad Psycho)

Hello, Mr. Hwang. Yes?

No instructions just yet.

Oh, right now?

I'm a bit busy today. Sorry.

What?

You're here right now?

Where...

(Cultural Heritage Administration)

Hi.

Let's see.

Hi.

Don't you have work to do?

What could be more important than this?

Okay.

Here.

What's this?

Take a look.

Cool.

Why are you giving me these?

Security and secrecy are of utmost importance.

The phones you buy these days are practically defenseless.

These can't be bugged, tampered with, or located,

and you can't steal anything from it or upload any viruses.

We should use these to contact each other.

Are you asking a cop to use a burner phone?

Oh. You're a cop.

You're right. I forgot about that.

I'll tell Skunk to go back into hiding.

No, wait.

We'll use it. Are you happy now?

Consider them special phones, not burner phones.

My Ms. Lee made them, especially for you.

Ms. Lee?

Who's that?

You'll meet her soon.

She's Skunk's hidden partner.

She makes Skunk's outfits...

- and tools all herself.
- I see.

There's a chat application.

That's only for our use, so there will be no problem.

We can share each other's location, so that should be of some help.

Okay.

I like that.

If there's an emergency,

Press the application called "S" on the front screen.

Skunk will appear immediately.

For real?

You can't press it whenever you want to.

Skunk will scold you if you use it unless it's a huge emergency.

I was just taking a look.

Did you catch Doctor Ko?

No.

We haven't heard from him yet.

You can't even catch an old man?

Hey.

I think I sided with the wrong team.

Can you not...

Mr. Hwang, start the car.

Why? I don't have the time for a leisurely drive...

Just go.

My gosh.

(Apartments, Land, Malls)

We just got conned, didn't we?

Who were those old people?

Here.

Thank you.

Still,

it's mean to con the kids you taught.

They bit the hand that fed them.

They should be taught a lesson.

You went into hiding.

Why are you back?

I have a reason.

Which you wouldn't share with your ex.

Just you wait.

I'll buy you a pretty spot in Hawaii.

You disappeared for 30 years...

and only showed up to use me because you need cash.

(Hotel)

Wait, pause.

Okay.

Can you move in closer?

Yes.

My gosh.

What's going on, Captain?

- We got Doctor Ko in action.
- What?

Doctor Ko?

This is him?

Wait.

Yes. We got him at last.

Who's this next to him?

Let's see her.

He got us again.

This is crazy.

(Cultural Heritage Administration)

Wait here.

Where are you going?

I told you to wait in the car.

Wait. Did you come here...

to eat on your own?

It's...

Wait in the car. It's important.

No. It's important, so I must come along.

We're a team.

Then keep quiet and don't get in the way.

Will you tell me what...

Be quiet.

Hello, Doctor Ko. You have expensive taste.

Doctor Ko?

Where are you from?

I worked so hard to find you, so it's obvious...

where I'm from.

We've never met.

Cultural Heritage Team?

I'm so grateful you're letting me speak casually.

You're right.

You found me much sooner.

Vivian set me up.

There's no understanding a woman's mind.

Okay.

Well, then.

Let's go.

What happened?

I'll explain later.

There's a bag of cash. Get it.

A bag of cash?

Is this the VIP Special?

What's taking so long?

I'm coming.

See if there are more cameras.

The cameras...

Yes, Min Woo?

What?

How?

Okay. See you there.

What's the matter?

Min Woo caught Doctor Ko.

What?

Tell me what's going on.

Ko Hye Ja. She goes by the name of Vivian.

She and Doctor Ko were in a relationship 30 years ago.

They were engaged, actually.

They stole antiques and conned people together.

But one day, Doctor Ko suddenly disappeared.

Vivian waited for him.

He showed up ten years later,

used her in a scam,

and disappeared again.

She was released from jail a little while ago and has been doing well,

but I figured Doctor Ko would approach her again.

- So?
- I met her.

What do you mean you met her?

I met her and sympathized with her when she told me what happened.

I told her I agreed with her...

- and cried with her. Then...
- Then what?

She gave me a gift. Like this.

Hey! Guys!

- Oh, there he is.
- I see him.

Doctor Ko!

Doctor Ko!

There you are. Come with us.

My, I really wanted to meet you.

Me too.

My gosh. How did you do this?

- Hey, well done.
- It's nothing.

I didn't report it to you because I wasn't 100 percent sure.

Hey, you don't need to report anything to me from now on.

You can do whatever you want.

- Where will you take him?
- We'll take him to the station.

I see. I have to go take care of something.

What do you need to do?

Someone wants to tip us off about Chairman Yang's murder.

I don't think it's an important tip, but I should meet the person.

My gosh, you get things done so quickly.

- All right. I'll see you later.
- Yes, sir.

- Wait, Captain!
- Oh, right. Thanks.

Inspector Choi.

- Let's go.
- Well done!

Oh, give me a ride.

What am I, your chauffeur?

Come on. You worked so hard today.

Oh, I'll buy you the special VIP course...

at that Japanese restaurant.

When?

Well, sometime soon?

That means it'll never happen.

Forget it, then. Just go.

I'll take a taxi.

Get in the car. There are no taxis here.

(Cultural Heritage Administration)

Thank you.

Oh, right. I don't need to contact Skunk today, right?

That's right. I'll let you know if Doctor Ko tells us something.

You can contact him then.

I'll call you.

Ouch, my leg! Darn it.

The Cultural Heritage Team...

has a lot of nerve these days.

There's a girl on the team.

Get her...

and find out how much she knows about me.

Then cut off her limbs.

Darn it, my phone!

Hey, what are you going to do about this?

I'm sorry, but I'm in a rush.

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

You need to compensate me for this!

You're certainly not passersby.

Who are you guys?

Hey!

Send me your bank account info, and I'll send you the money. Let go.

Give me the money now.

Give me the money, or I won't let you go.

I'll give you my account info now.

Send me 2 million won at once, including my medical expenses.

Stay right here. I will send the money.

Hey, here...

Hey, open up!

Darn it.

All right. Enjoy and eat as much as you want.

Nothing is more important than your health. Okay?

- Okay, Father!
- Okay, Father!

All right. You're all so adorable.

You haven't been visiting them as often.

They really missed you.

Is that right?

Then I should visit you more often from now on.

- Yes!
- Yes!

He brought tons of new clothes...

and school supplies for you.

It's all thanks to him...

that you kids can be happy and healthy here.

Always be grateful to him.

- Thank you!
- Thank you!

All right, here.

(Korea Government, for Official Use Only)

Here.

Joseon Tongbo?

Isn't this an old coin?

Hey, look at this.

(Kim Woo Jin, Illness)

(Female, Weak)

(Male, Weak)

(Healthy)

(Female, Healthy)

Thank you, Father.

(Healthy, Blood Type, IQ, Vision)

Let's go with her.

I'll take care of her.

Get ready for her to be adopted overseas in about three months.

Make sure she stays healthy.

Yes, sir. I'll get everything ready.

Did you take care of it?

What?

What did you say?

So, where is the Joseon Tongbo coin?

It was as expected.

But this only complicates things.

Gosh.

I don't have time for word games or riddles.

Hand over the coin and go back to hiding.

You being after the Joseon Tongbo coin...

must mean you're aware of the legend.

Even the great Jang Tae In is hooked.

Who could resist money and fortune?

I...

There's no need for me to explain myself to you.

How many Joseon Tongbo coins do you have?

By the looks of it, you just started collecting them.

There's nothing you can do with just one coin.

And what else do you know about it?

You're hoping to write a thesis only after learning your ABCs.

You ignorant fool.

- Why you little...
- What?

This old man must love his word games.

Senior Inspector Jang,

you practically know nothing about the coins.

The Japanese Invasion of 1592?

The Cultural Asset Looting Unit?

The lost treasure?

The seven Joseon Tongbo coins. That's all you know.

Then,

what can you tell us about this?

Right.

Let's start by getting me out of these.

Why you little...

Who gives a lecture in cuffs?

Aren't you curious...

about the secret of Cheomseongdae?

The Cheomseongdae?

That's all you've been talking about.

Isn't there anything fun on there?

Darn it.

You said she was a cop. Everything is about work.

Skunk?

What's this about a darn skunk?

Skunk?

Is it a nickname?

What is this?

(Cultural Heritage Administration)

It'd be a waste to just kill her.

Why don't we have some fun?

You...

Darn!

Darn it.

Gosh.

What?

Wait. What's going on?

But we're not working today.

What are you doing?

Darling, where are you?

- Inspector Choi was abducted.
- What?

I'll inform you of the details later.

Wait. That suit may be bulletproof,

but it doesn't have any assault features.

It doesn't matter.

They're just goons, so don't worry.

Call the police when you can.

But... Hold on. Then maybe...

Dae Myeong?

Hwang Dae Myeong!

What the...

Stop.

That's enough.

Gosh. Who is that punk?

Where's her phone?

Did you all...

read this text?

Yes.

Viper.

Police.

Drop your weapon and surrender.

- This?
- You're under arrest for murder.

Lie on the ground.

When did the police...

begin their own treasure hunt?

Lie on the ground, you punk!

I have many questions.

If you answer all of them,

I will end you painlessly.

If you don't, your final moments won't be pleasant.

One of the Joseon Tongbo coins...

is in your possession.

Tell me where it is.

A single coin won't be of any use.

I guess I'll have to kill you all.

You crazy prick.

I'm a man of my word,

so your death will be painful.

Have a good day!

Can you move?

- Yes.
- Okay. Let's head out.

Hey. Are you okay?

Okay. Right.

(Stealer: The Treasure Keeper)

Our motto is we won't give the bad guys even one cent.

I toyed around a bit.

We start once Chang Hoon spies the target.

Skunk will standby at the said spot.

- Yes, sir.
- Jang Chun Fung...

only gambles in the VIP room.

We must get inside.

To get inside, we need a code, and finding out that code...

is the goal of this project.

Gambling must be in my blood.

We must rely solely on Skunk's personal skills.
