Who the hell are you?

You better let go.

Look out! Have a seat.

Are you all right?

Thank you.

Thank you. Bye!

Everyone's been waiting for you.

I see.

When we got there, Elder Kang was already dead.

Judging from the way she was killed, the assassin was an expert.

And it looks like she had let the assassin in, so it was probably someone she knew.

Since Elder Kang accused us of being assassins,

the situation is all the more serious.

Maybe the elders are trying to accuse Chief Elder Shin

by framing us as the assassins.

That's something we'll have to figure out.

I don't believe that's the case.

The elders are satisfied with their positions.

They had no motive to devise such a complex scheme.

Accusing us of being assassins was a strategy to put fear in the minds of the elders.

That would lead to a falling out between the chief and the other elders,

and dissension in the ranks.

Who'd be behind such a strategy?

Someone who has faster and more reliable news.

Someone who wants to beat us.

I believe the rebel faction is behind this.

Is it true that Elder Kang has been assassinated?

Yes.

You haven't found the culprit?

Moo-young.

Everything was done with speed and precision.

This had to be an inside job.

You do realize there could be an enemy among us.

- Don't you? - I do.

Soon the news of her assassination will spread,

and it will be harder to control the elders.

We have to find the assassin before then.

I'll meet with the elders.

That won't be easy.

They're not even responding to my calls.

You looked as if you wanted to say something, so I've been waiting for you.

I'm like an open book to you.

Have you found out everything?

You said you needed to find out more about Min-woo.

Yes.

Oh?

I was wrong.

About what?

I mistakenly thought he was someone I knew from my past.

But he wasn't.

If he had been that person from your past...

Then what would you have done?

Would anything have changed?

Can I butt in?

Sa-joon is looking for you.

I promised I'd never open this without you.

Give me a break today.

I got rejected by a girl.

She's the first girl I've been interested in since you.

She must not think much of me. Stupid, aren't I?

I really am being stupid...

I mistakenly thought he was someone I knew from my past.

But he wasn't.

You were there when Elder Kang was assassinated?

Yes, I went there persuade her to meet with Chief Elder Shin.

So you saw who did it.

Who is the assassin?

One of the warriors, Yun Si-yon.

What?

So Chief Shin must be trying to kill us after all.

What shall we do, Elder Nam?

- Well... - Well?

Our lives are in danger!

- Something isn't right. - What is it?

If the chief is after us elders, she should've taken care of us all at once.

That would eliminate any repercussions.

This was too sloppy to have been devised by her.

And as for the warriors, even though they answer to her,

they don't do anything without moral justification.

I saw Si-yon myself.

Chief Shin is avoiding an all-out confrontation.

Then we'll have to provoke her further.

We'll do what she fears most.

We'll declare our presence to the humans.

That would be too dangerous.

For who?

Elder Kang and her boyfriend have been killed.

And the fact that Si-yon was the assassin works to our advantage.

I'll be expecting you to work your magic on the chief.

ENTERTAINER KANG JOO-SUN MISSING DEPRESSION-RELATED SUICIDE FEARED

For our summer party, I'd like to order the 1997 vintage.

And please mention the dress code on the invitation.

Pick one.

- What are you up to? - You've been feeling down lately.

So I want to fill this place up with your favorite flowers.

That'd be quite expensive.

- I realize that. - Really?

You don't have Moo-young, so you have to fill up your heart with something.

You should've gone for Sa-joon instead.

Then I could've helped you out.

- I'm tired... - Oh?

Music is the best remedy for fatigue.

Check out this great song.

It's nice, isn't it?

You know something?

You can be really greedy and nasty sometimes.

Want to know something else?

In spite of that, I like you so much.

But I'm like a brother and a friend to you.

But you seem to forget that sometimes.

I'm positive that those who assassinated Elder Kang leaked this to the press.

We have to find the assassin and talk to the elders.

- Have you gotten in touch with them? - They're not taking my calls.

Try again.

It's Elder Nam.

This is Moo-young.

Yes...

Yes.

Hey! Wake up, Min-woo!

Come on. Before I kick you.

- When did you get here? - Five minutes ago.

Why didn't you call me? Didn't you get my message?

I was busy.

What happened with Ms. Yun?

Why is she being so cold toward me?

Rise and shine.

You get milk and the paper delivered. Not bad.

Detective Moon!

Hi, Min-joo.

Get up. Look at the time.

What's this I smell?

- You went drinking with the curator? - The curator?

- Your brother's got a crush on this girl. - You mean Ms. Yun?

You knew? Min-woo, you already told everyone?

So you saw her again?

- I got rejected. - What?

I was barking up the wrong tree. She has a fiance? So that's that.

What are you talking about?

You didn't even bother to find out the basic info?

What kind of cop are you?

Stop, will you?

I told you to close the containers. Your fridge stinks.

I'll do it later.

Are you okay?

I'm just upset.

I just wanted to see you date someone for once.

You plan on dying tomorrow?

I'll do a lot of dating before you die, okay?

Min-woo!

- Kang Joo-sun is missing. - And?

- She's Oh Sang-hoon's girlfriend. - What?

Hello?

What about Oh Sang-hoon's corpse?

According to the autopsy results, he died about a week ago.

And the blood coagulation suggests that his body was mangled right after his death.

Is it similar to the other organ dealer murders?

The exact same procedure, including the organ removal.

Any news on Kang Joo-sun?

I checked with her entertainment agency.

She resigned from her post about ten days ago.

The last time they spoke to her was a week ago.

That'd be about when Oh Sang-hoon was murdered.

Someone called and reported her missing.

I hope my lovely Kang Joo-sun is safe.

Lovely Kang Joo-sun?

All the guys at our high school had the hots for her.

- She was just so sexy... - Get it together.

She used that charm to eat the livers of guys like you.

What?

You mean she's one of the liver-eating race?

Maybe her acting ability came from her fox-like cunning.

Yes, so be careful.

We have to find her.

Talk to everyone who's been in touch with her.

Yes, sir!

Ms. Yun...

I'm sorry about last time.

I had no idea you had a fiance. I'm sorry to have put you...

in such an awkward position.

Excuse me.

Min-joo!

Min-joo...

Is she okay?

We'd better move her to a bigger hospital.

I'm sorry?

I think it's serious. You should call her family.

Hey there, you little brat.

Why aren't you saying anything? Mad at me?

Fine, let me just ask you one thing.

I was just worried that you might be sick.

You were as pale as a ghost this morning.

Are you getting lovesick in my place because I got rejected?

Hello?

Min-joo just fainted out of the blue.

- What was that? - You should come to the museum.

I'll be right there.

Min-joo, I found out where Kang Joo-sun...

- You're awake now? - Yes...

Good, when your brother gets here, he'll take you to another hospital.

You called my brother?

What's wrong?

I'm fine. It's just a case of anemia. I'll be going now.

- Min-joo... - Tell my brother I left.

He'll make a big fuss about taking me to the hospital.

What happened? This isn't like you.

There will be a council meeting tonight. Be prepared.

Has the misunderstanding been cleared up?

No.

We received a one-sided notification.

Are the elders aware of Elder Kang's assassination?

Maybe so.

Just for a while... Keep walking with me like this.

I'm sorry for putting you on the spot.

It won't happen again.

I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed having you hold my arm.

So don't apologize.

Hello?

What happened?

I've been suffering from a slight case of anemia,

and I forgot to take my medicine.

I felt a little dizzy, so I put on a show.

I thought you and Ms. Yun could see each other again.

Even if it is over, you don't want to have any regrets.

I did the right thing, didn't I?

Stop yelling at me. I'm really okay.

Just look after yourself, and don't get beat up.

Bye.

What room is Ms. Kang Joo-sun staying in?

And, sir, you are?

Sorry I'm late.

Detective Moon!

When did you last see her?

Not since yesterday morning.

She told us not to bother with room service

or having the maid clean up unless she specifically requested it.

- Is there a security camera here? - Yes...

Please have a seat.

You didn't respond to any of my requests to see you,

so what brings you here today?

As if you don't know?

The reason we have brought the council together

is to question you about Elder Kang's assassination.

And why should I have any answers about that?

Because the assassin was one of the warriors.

Which one was it?

- Did you witness it yourself? - I did.

I've always been on your side, Chief Elder.

But I have no choice this time.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Yun Si-yon.

Where were you at eight last night?

I asked you where you were!

She was with me.

She was with me the whole evening.

Trying to pull the wool over our eyes?

You expect us to believe that?

Elder Hong, did you really see Yun Si-yon?

Pardon?

Did you really witness her kill Elder Kang?

I didn't witness the assassination,

but I did see her come out of Elder Kang's room...

There's no need to elaborate.

Because of this incident, we, the elders, have decided to impeach you.

You've been informed.

- Last night, I was... - You were with Moo-young.

Chief Shin.

He didn't say you were with him just to spare you from the elders.

It's because he has complete trust in you.

Because he has no doubt in you,

he was able to say that with the utmost confidence.

And as much as Moo-young believes in you,

I believe in you as well.

Those who wish me harm will target you two.

They know very well how much I cherish you.

So you two must unite to defend me.

Do you understand?

- Find anything yet? - Not yet.

I can't believe that my dream girl was a liver-eating monster.

What's the matter with him?

As they say, date the wrong woman,

and she'll take everything, including your liver.

Look!

She looks familiar. Can you make the image clearer?

That's the best we can do.

Who is that?

Didn't we see her in front of the church?

That's strange...

I didn't see her go into that room.

She went into the room, but there she is again!

Find anything?

Not yet.

Make it clear.

Isn't that Hong Sang-soo, the famous CEO?

There's no use waiting.

He's on vacation.

Make an appointment for another time.

Did you give him my message?

I'm sorry, but we can't contact him.

Hello, remember me? We met very briefly.

- Hello. - You do remember me?

You have a great memory. What brings you here?

It's regarding a museum fundraiser...

Business, I see...

Excuse me.

Si-yon.

Thanks for looking out for my sister.

It must be fate. You keep running into each other in the strangest places.

We couldn't meet with Hong Sang-soo. They said he's on vacation.

But I think he's in hiding because of Kang Joo-sun's murder.

Sang-soo... Kang Joo-sun... Both are power brokers in their fields.

Find Hong at any cost.

Check his credit card and phone bills. Use wiretaps. Whatever it takes.

Okay, I promise not to skip any meals.

Yes, I'll brush my teeth three times a day.

Goodbye, my sweet little sister.

She nagged and nagged for over ten minutes.

Sir.

How about a drink?

Your sister's name is Min-joo?

Yes, she's a freshman in college.

My, has it been that long?

She must be a lovely girl.

I had a little sister as well.

She was very sweet and pretty.

Today is her memorial.

Remember you asked me once?

How I knew so much about them.

Yes...

One of them was a part of my family.

I cherished him as if he were my own flesh and blood.

He was very warm and thoughtful...

A very good friend.

And so...

So he ended up marrying my little sister.

But then...

Then one day, he...

I never did catch him.

It's been twenty years.

The elders will not attend the sacrificial ritual.

Since this is a symbolic event for all of our race,

I asked them to put aside petty differences and attend.

They won't attend as long as your mother is presiding.

Who the hell are you?

It's for the elders, so I'm doing the honors.

Isn't that fresh human liver?

Yes, it is. Where did you get it?

Put it away. It's forbidden.

Please, I beg you.

What do you want with Elder Nam?

I had to persuade him. He's the most influential, so if I persuade him.

You should leave well enough alone.

He'll think you're there to kill him.

And it'll just complicate things even more.

The humans pursuing us are after Elder Hong as well.

We must unite the elders as soon as possible.

How?

You aren't going to...?

There's nothing I won't do.

Even if I have to give up my life.

Why are you telling me this?

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I think you'd do the same thing. Help me.

Pour me a drink too.

I'm against the idea.

Sa-joon told me you want to meet with the elders.

You won't persuade them you turn Si-yon over to them.

What if...

What if I give up my position?

What?

What the elders fear is Mother's absolute rule.

If I give up my position, the elders may return to their places.

Okay, thanks, Chae.

We found out Hong's whereabouts!

Prepare yourselves!

- Where's Min-woo? - He's training. I'll go get him.

Moo-young,

why don't you talk to your mother before meeting with the elders?

You know very well that

she won't accept my opinion.

But for you to make such a decision by yourself...

It's something that concerns my position.

So I need to do it by myself.

In terms of both size and facilities, it will more than suffice for the upcoming event.

Let me take you to the VIP box.

Minister Nam.

Yun Si-yon!

I'm here to give you my life.

What do you think you're doing?

You are free to kill me with this sword.

But before that, please hear what I have to say.

I did not kill Elder Kang.

- But Elder Hong witnessed... - Can't you see that this is a set-up?

If I had killed Elder Kang, I wouldn't have left any evidence.

And if Chief Shin had ordered Elder Kang's assassination, as the elders believe,

I would have already killed you with this sword.

You mustn't forget the rebel faction.

They will divide the council and attack us.

And then all of us, including the elders, will fall.

Why did Elder Nam call us and not show up?

What does he have to tell us at a place like this?

Let's try calling him.

Freeze!

I've decided to put my faith in you.

Thank you.

The other elders must be in a meeting with Moo-young.

Pardon?

You've made me late for my meeting with him.

Hello?
