You're safe.

You'll have time for questions later. Wipe the blood off at least.

It's not an excuse.

Those guys weren't ordinary human beings.

They definitely had some special training.

Kang Min-woo, the guy who filed a report about us. They're protecting him.

We've been found out.

If Si-yon had taken care of him in the first place, this would never have happened.

Chae!

If you see him again...

Kill him.

Where did you go?

Tell me what's going on.

I don't know what it is, but you haven't been yourself.

The way your actions affect all of us...

You must be very aware of that yourself.

I apologize.

In order to protect you,

Moo-young has even offered his own life to his mother.

He asked me to give you time, but I couldn't.

It would go against our principles.

That's why I gave the order to have Kang Min-woo killed.

I don't want to have this conversation again.

- You got it? - Yes, sir.

Let go.

Upset again?

Relax your eyes, or you'll start crying.

This is no time to be drinking.

We have to get Kang Min-woo and his protectors.

And once we get them...

You can really take it out on them.

I'll make that happen for you.

What gets me angry is Moo-young.

Because he likes only Si-yon?

That's old news.

It's been going on for 13 years.

And to be honest, he's not nice to Sa-joon or me either.

Come on, relax.

And make up with Si-yon.

Why don't you plan her birthday party?

Why should I?

Because you work as a party planner!

And you kind of started this feud anyway.

She'll be thrilled if you plan her party.

She always spends her birthdays alone. Okay?

Where am I? Who are you guys?

- Special Intelligence Corps. The SICS. - The SICS?

It's a secret investigative agency.

We deal with cases that are beyond the usual scope.

A secret investigative agency?

We deal with hard-to-believe cases like the one in your report.

Let me ask you a question.

Who were the guys trying to kill you?

I don't know either.

I did see one of them at the crime scene.

One of the guys who killed the guy that ate the human liver?

Yes.

I was skeptical about that part of the report...

But it means they've had special training as well.

Who do you mean by ''they''?

Murders and missing livers every 15th of the lunar month.

Crimes related to the phases of the moon. The claw marks.

Ring a bell?

They're all from the legend of the nine-tailed foxes.

Whether they're foxes, or humans with fox-like tendencies,

or an altogether different species isn't clear.

But we do know one thing.

They can only survive by eating human livers.

It isn't clear whether they're human mutants or not,

but they do have the same appearance as us.

So they can live among us.

- How many of them could there be? - We don't know.

So there could be quite a few of them.

It's our mission to find them.

- So you'll receive special training... - Wait a minute.

Are you telling me to join the SICS?

Why else would we have revealed ourselves?

But you don't even know me. I can join based on one lousy report?

I have to turn you down. I'm grateful for the information you shared.

I'll remain a loyal cop.

You're an open target now.

They'll try to kill you again.

Even your family won't be safe.

What if I still want to remain a cop?

Why would you put your life at risk to be a cop?

Fine.

I'll give you time.

I'd like to leave.

- Moo-young. - Yes, Mother.

The enemy of your enemy is your ally.

Always keep that in mind.

Just as there are no eternal enemies,

there are no eternal allies.

- We must keep a closer eye on the elders. - Yes, Mother.

What's your position?

Should we continue hiding among the humans,

or should we expose our existence?

I'm always in agreement with you, Mother.

And you, Si-yon?

It must be difficult to kill your own race.

- I have no opinion whatsoever. - No?

I'll just follow the orders of the Council of Elders.

You only concern yourself with warriors' honor?

My work involves hurting and killing people.

I don't want to bring honor into it.

It's just work that needs to be done.

What about killing humans?

That's part of my work. I think nothing of it.

We're looking into those protecting Kang Min-woo.

Seeing that we're having trouble, they must be a secret agency.

Use all the resources at our disposal to find out.

Okay.

You tried to have me killed?

Chief Elder Shin...

Elder Nam? This is Elder Kang.

I need to speak with all the elders.

Somewhere Chief Elder Shin wouldn't know of.

I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding.

We were the only ones who knew of that place.

If you broke a rule, she could've brought it to the council.

- Why would she try to kill you? - Have you forgotten?

She killed all her rivals to become the chief.

Now she's trying to kill the ones who helped her.

- You mean she wants unlimited power? - Yes.

How did I walk all the way here?

What's wrong with me?

Hello.

So nice to see you.

I thought it might be too late.

- You're here to see me? - Well, yes.

- What about...? - Well...

Do you have some time?

It's not an excuse.

Those guys weren't ordinary human beings.

They definitely had some special training.

I had some serious thinking to do, so I went for a walk.

And I ended up in front of the museum.

Did you get some bad news?

No, nothing like that...

I've been recruited.

But they're not giving me much time.

Cops can be recruited too?

Well...

It's just a friend's company.

What kind of company?

Can I ask you for a favor?

Buy me dinner, would you?

I haven't eaten all day. I think I can barely make it over there.

You should have some too. Kind of embarrassing to eat by myself.

I look good, don't I?

That's what my mom used to tell me... That I look my best when I'm eating.

So I'm doing my best to look good for you.

What is it?

Nothing.

- Say what you were going to say. - Pardon?

Didn't you want to talk about your dilemma?

You could tell?

That's why my nickname is ''Crystal.'' People can see right through me.

Well, let's see...

Some fox-like creatures are living among us.

And they eat human livers.

Kind of like the tale of the nine-tailed foxes.

From an evolutionary or zoological perspective, is that even possible?

I'm not sure...

You don't sound very sure.

You're an expert. Is that possible?

What made you think such a thing?

By any chance... Is it related to one of your cases?

It is and it isn't.

You don't sound very sure.

No, I don't. I'm pretty confused myself.

That's why I'm lending you my ear.

Thank you.

Here I am talking nonsense about nine-tailed foxes.

Your hearing me out is really comforting.

- Yes, Detective Moon? - Where have you disappeared to?

I'll call you when I get home.

I'd better head back. It's late.

One second. Stay right here.

Who the hell are you?

Fine, I'll go.

Thank you.

This is no time to be weak.

Hyon-soo died long ago.

Kang Min-woo is an enemy who needs to be killed.

Just an enemy...

We can't just wait around for Kang Min-woo.

If you insist on having him, we need to start training him right away.

Dr. Jang.

Get me a cup of coffee, would you?

You two are no longer Yun Hyon-soo and Yun Ji-soo.

If the ones who killed your parents find out you're alive,

they'll be back to kill you.

Your sister Ji-soo has amnesia from the shock,

so you have to forget your past.

Including your names and your parents.

From now on, you'll be adopted,

and live a new life in a new place.

What happened to my friend, Hae-in?

Everyone in that house died.

So the ones who killed my parents and Hae-in are...

They're the ones your agency is after?

I believe you'll be after them as well now.

I believe that the reason you became a police officer...

was to find your parents' killers.

I've dedicated the last 20 years of my life to pursuing them.

And I plan to continue that pursuit.

They could be your colleagues from work,

your childhood friends, or the sweet kids from next door.

Isn't that scary?

We have no way to tell them apart.

In order to let the world know, we have to capture one of them.

Then people will believe us.

We need your help.

Why me of all people?

Everyone here has either lost family to them,

or has witnessed them consuming human liver.

When do I start training?

Man, I can't deal with these punks anymore.

Don't mind me.

You have a typo.

- Detective Moon! - Oh, hi.

- Is my brother really on duty? - I told you he is.

Why hasn't he answered his phone in days?

He's working undercover. We can't let the whole world know he's a cop.

You should know better as the sister of a cop.

If you talk to him, tell him to call me.

I got it.

Be careful.

Look out!

Where's Min-woo?

- Did he really get abducted by a fox? - Detective Moon?

Are you talking to me?

Enough!

You can have too much of a good thing.

Sometimes you should know when to quit.

Free yourself from anger.

Your mind controls your body.

You all right?

How can you be a man and not know how to fight?

Can I talk to you informally? I think you're younger than me.

Sure, you look way older than me.

You know what part of the human body is most resilient?

Even if you remove 70% to 85% of someone's liver,

it will grow back to its original size.

The ones we're after don't have that power.

The power to regenerate their livers.

Is that why they resort to eating human livers?

Where's that scar from?

It's a mark that proves he's not one of them.

You saw how they turned to ash the moment they were stabbed in the liver.

We have to prove we're humans before we join the agency.

Their physical strength is 20% greater than that of humans.

And to attack them effectively, traditional weapons are better than firearms.

A blow to their liver is fatal, but any other wound will heal quickly.

This is your alibi for the last 10 days.

So I'm an official member of the agency now?

We're moving you to national police headquarters.

Wow, I'm really moving up.

You work in teams of two. I've selected your partner.

Show him in.

- Min-woo. - Detective Moon!

No way.

They made me come, but I still can't believe this.

A race of liver-eating foxes? Does that make any sense to you?

No one can believe it.

If you can't believe it, why did you join?

Because I was worried about you!

You love me that much?

Yes, I love you to death.

By the way, Min-joo is worried sick about you. What are you going to do?

Min-joo.

I just...

Do you know how worried I've been?

I was so scared. I practically died.

Where did you go? Why didn't you call?

Why did you even bother coming back?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, Min-joo.

- I won't do it again. - I was so scared.

- Hi! - Hi!

Hello, you seem to be in a good mood.

My brother made me a very happy girl.

I don't know if I should ask you this,

but have you got a guy or a boyfriend to keep you company?

- No... - Great!

Have a seat. I know this great guy.

One sec...

He's my brother.

Aside from the fact that he's a cop, he's really perfect.

It's a dangerous job, but it comes with a lot of benefits.

He gets a pension and loans,

and they'll pay for his children's education too.

He's the most eligible bachelor out there. Want to see his picture?

It looks like a birthday party.

Yes, he and my parents on his birthday.

This crumpled picture doesn't do him justice.

He has these big, round features that make him cute.

And he's got a sexy side to him too.

I'm here to escort you. It's a very special day, remember?

I'm not giving in today.

Kang Min-woo is back.

Where has he been all this time?

The official report says he got mixed up in a fight, and put in jail for ten days.

We'll need to keep an eye on him. Until we find out who's protecting him.

Welcome. May I help you, sir?

I'd like to get a ring as a gift.

What kind of a gift?

- A birthday gift. - Is she your girlfriend?

Yes...

It's so hot in here.

- What's going on? - Where's Si-yon?

I tried and tried, but she wouldn't come.

So we planned a party for her just to have her stand us up?

Si-yon really has a way of getting on my nerves.

Chae.

Dad...

Hyon-soo...

Happy birthday, Hae-in.

How did you fine me...?

- I'm grateful for everyone's concern, but... - I know.

Today's the day you lost your loved ones.

It isn't an easy day for you to be happy.

I still want to wish you a happy birthday.

Bye.

This is the place where future trainers are trained.

You have to become strong.

For your own sake and the sake of our race.

From now on, your name is Si-yon.

Yun Si-yon.

She's a new friend. Say hello.

- My name is Sa-joon. - I'm Rang.

And this new girl's name is Chae.

But where's Moo-young?

Does he still refuse to wield a sword?

Master!

Master!

Dad! Hyon-soo!

No!

Go away!

I said to go away.

I'm afraid to be alone.

Let me stay with you. Please...

Give it back to me.

I said to give it back.

- Sure. - Here.

Today you'll be tested in a fighting match.

The time has come for your test in order to become warriors who will protect our race.

I hope that you'll surpass your teachers.

That you'll have the ability to kill your teachers.

Previous generations surpassed their teachers.

That's how each generation has grown stronger.

Show us your strength!

Attention!

This is the first official mission of the SICS.

We've found the location of the organ dealers.

There could be a link between them and the foxes,

so capture all the dealers without question.

Let's go!

Apparently, someone among us is buying livers again.

Have faith in the Lord's mercy,

- confess your sins... - Shut up!

I'm not here to play around.

Hand over the merchandise.
