Freeze!

Min-woo, are you all right?

Min-woo!

How could you...?

You little...

Detective Moon!

Min-woo, are you all right?

What are you doing?

- I thought you were dead! - What are you...

Hold still. I'm going fox hunting.

Si-yon saved my life.

What do you mean?

Step out for a second. I'm fine.

But you're...

Please...

He's practically dying, and he's still pining for her...

This can't be right.

She has something to do with the fox race.

I'm losing my mind...

Listen to me carefully...

I was so scared earlier.

I thought you were going to die because of me...

I was so scared.

So do as I say.

Please come with me.

Pick up...

- Are you okay, Min-woo? - I'm fine.

It barely grazed me, but it hurts so much.

But we need to take care of your neck first.

Lean on my shoulder.

No, I don't want to get more blood on your dress.

Si-yon will show up.

Did you talk to her directly?

I'm sure she'll come.

I'll wait till she comes.

I'd appreciate it if you would too, Mother.

- You're telling me to wait? - Yes.

You'd better postpone this engagement

unless you want Moo-young to be humiliated.

What are you talking about?

Si-yon won't be coming.

I don't think she can.

We're here. Are you all right?

Do you have to go?

You can't get engaged in that dress.

You have to get married.

Even it's only to save Kang Min-woo.

His life is in danger because of you.

I'm going. I have to go.

Congratulations on your engagement...

Come on, I have to take him to the hospital.

Tell me, what did you mean

when you said that Si-yon's not coming?

She's with a certain someone. And he's...

So you're not giving up on Moo-young either?

You are one scary girl.

Now that you know, don't try that again.

I'm warning you.

Chae!

Leave her alone.

Si-yon...

This is so strange...

But according to my logic, Si-yon has to be a fox.

How can you be suspicious of her?

I told you she nearly died because of me.

I know that, but how could she have so many ties with the fox race?

Detective Moon!

And what really gets me is her fiance, that Moo-young character.

Wait for me. Are you all right?

Think about it.

He has an MBA and he's a CEO at his age?

But maybe it's because foxes are so cunning.

I've met him, and he isn't so bad.

A good-looking guy, actually.

They don't go around with signs on their foreheads.

You have a sign saying you're a wolf.

Don't change the subject.

Has Si-yon called you?

She really is something.

You were bleeding like crazy, and she doesn't even call?

Even if she's human, she's got problems.

Detective!

You don't have to snap at me.

Who do you like better, me or Si-yon?

- Come on, tell me. - Si-yon.

After all I've taught you...

How are you going to explain this to Min-joo?

I did the right thing. I'm a fox and Min-woo is human.

We can't be together as man and woman.

I did the right thing.

Hey there, 20 bucks!

Fork it over.

Like I'd run off with 20 bucks?

But you did run off.

No, I didn't. Something came up.

Are you giving me my money or not?

Take this and beat it. Satisfied?

Wait!

I should charge you a storage fee for these.

But you really look broke, so I'll let it go.

Hey, why do you have these?

I went after you to get my money and picked them up.

I was all worried, and here you're perfectly fine.

You were worried about me?

Well, it was kind of a strange situation.

Maybe I wasn't meant to keep these.

- You take them. - Why should I?

- I don't like handouts. - You don't?

But you look thrilled.

By the way, what are you doing here?

I work here. I'm not a slacker like you.

I was born in '79 and you're talking down to me?

And? You want me to call you ''Big Brother''?

Well, just call me ''the man.''

Okay, whatever... But how do you know Ms. Yun anyway?

Si-yon? She's a friend.

Friend? No way, you two don't...

What's the matter?

Do you need to go to the restroom?

Hey!

Hey, are you sick?

I'm just hungry.

What did you want?

I wanted to satisfy your curiosity.

You are curious, aren't you?

About the reason Si-yon was late to the engagement.

Min-woo was wounded. Quite seriously.

But she left him and came to the engagement.

Why would she do that?

Reason A, she really wanted to be engaged to you.

B, she didn't want you to feel humiliated.

C...

She wanted to protect Min-woo.

Which one do you think it is?

You think she's worthy of your love?

Didn't I already tell you?

You'll never have Si-yon's heart.

That human, Kang Min-woo, took it away a long time ago.

All you'll possess is the facade.

Find out who's behind the organ trafficking?

- He goes by the name ''K.'' - K?

What kind of name is that? Short for Kim or Kwon?

What is it? Ring a bell?

No, no...

He's so foul looking.

He should die so he can be reborn.

Name, age, family... Nothing is known about him.

But he has enough smarts and clout to manipulate the Council of Elders.

So is he the leader of the rebel faction?

That, I don't know for certain.

But he must be a central figure in the rebel faction.

Where can we find him?

This is the time to topple Chief Shin.

The Council of Elders has disintegrated,

and more and more members of our race support our cause.

We have to kill her in just one try.

We can't afford any mistakes.

Let me do it.

You, my lady?

I'm scheduled to escort her by myself soon.

I'll catch her when her guard's down.

It's the perfect opportunity.

Under the guise of protecting her,

you'll kill her when she's vulnerable?

She doesn't like me, but she doesn't suspect me either.

I'll make the preparations.

The blonde guy...

I swear I've seen him with Chae before...

Moo-young?

Why are you so surprised?

Where are you headed?

There's a curators' seminar at the museum.

You don't have to go, do you?

I'm sorry?

Let's go on a date.

We've never really been on a date before.

As Detective Moon stated,

all the crimes can be linked to the Museum of Natural History.

So many things seem fishy, including the finances.

See, I told you so.

What's so fishy?

Hong Sang-soo's and Kim Sang-hyun's entire estates

were donated to that museum, so I looked into it.

They were both on the museum's board of directors.

Who's the director of the museum?

Shin Ko-won, a respected anthropologist.

And her son is the fiance of a certain someone...

Who?

A certain naughty girl.

And this son, Moo-young, is in charge of the museum's finances.

Where is he going?

How is it?

It's good.

You don't seem to be enjoying your food.

- Want something else? - No, it's really good.

Don't worry.

Si-yon.

It's been a while since we've dined together.

I think this is the first time it's been just the two of us.

So...

Let's enjoy this moment.

What should we do now? Anything on your mind?

- Want to go for a drive? - Moo-young...

How about going to an art museum? You like art.

Take me to our museum.

I'd better attend that seminar.

I can still make it if we leave now.

There's nothing you can enjoy with me?

Let's just go back to the way we were before.

Like before...?

We aren't on a mission right now.

Don't try so hard. It makes me uncomfortable.

It does?

I understand why you're doing this.

We can't be a normal couple like others, like humans.

Forcing yourself to change is just making both of us uncomfortable.

So this is what you call uncomfortable?

Yes, I realize how ridiculous I must seem.

But I'm not ashamed.

Because I'm doing it for you and giving it my best.

You want to go back to the way we were before?

Well, I don't want that.

Acting like friends or siblings... The last 13 years were enough.

I've tried to hold back my feelings all this time.

That's why I couldn't approach you before.

But now...

Now I want you to see me as a man.

We can tolerate the discomfort and the awkwardness.

In order to be with you,

I'm willing to be childish, cowardly, or ridiculous.

This is how I'm going to be toward you.

Moo-young, I know how hard this must be for you...

But I can't control my own heart...

My heart, which is drawn only to him...

There's nothing I can do about it...

Si-yon!

Are you home?

Min-woo!

Why didn't you answer the phone?

I thought maybe something happened to you.

You weren't at the museum or at home.

I was worried sick.

I had to do a few things. Nothing's wrong.

Why won't you listen to me?

I told you this house is dangerous.

So why are you still here?

I'm fine.

What do you mean, you're fine?

How can you say that when you almost died?

I'm sorry. After all, it's all my fault.

You don't have to apologize.

But just forget what happened that day.

Forget everything including me. And don't come see me.

Do you understand?

Listen...

Please leave.

Si-yon...

It's about your fiance, Moo-young.

What about him?

Do you trust me?

If you do, pack your things and move out.

And don't tell your fiance.

You remember what I said to you when we first met?

About the race of foxes?

Yes, and...?

This may be hard to believe...

But these monsters really do exist.

Monsters...?

They're the ones who tried to kill you on your engagement day.

- And maybe... - Mr. Kang Min-woo.

Who tried to kill Si-yon?

The ones who are after me.

And why would they want to kill Si-yon?

Visiting Si-yon...

Calling Si-yon...

Paying attention to Si-yon...

I want you to stop.

I want you to have nothing to do with her.

I'd like to ask you something.

The day we met on the rooftop...

Was it really a coincidence that you saw me there?

Were you there to see Kim Sang-hyun and Hong Sang-soo?

Weren't you?

No.

Let's go in.

Didn't you hear him?

Kang Min-woo just called us monsters.

But, Moo-young...

Can you look at him under the full moon?

Can you tell him that you're a nine-tailed fox?

Let's go inside.

Equipment that can identify them will soon be ready.

And when it is, we'll capture all of them.

- So we need to locate their base. - Yes, sir.

Hurry, so we'll be able to destroy them.

Yes, sir.

Director, Minister Nam is waiting for you.

What do you mean, you can't approve our budget?

And who is this ''them'' you keep referring to?

Bring me evidence!

Even the last time

you said you'd captured one, you never showed him to me.

How much money has gone to SICS?

Even the higher-ups won't approve it this time.

If I bring you evidence, will you approve it?

Evidence, my foot...

We've discovered a way to identify them.

SICS has been looking into you and the warriors.

Soon they'll come look for us at the museum.

How did they manage to link us to the museum?

They must've traced the estates of the dead elders.

The rebel faction and now this SICS...

We're surrounded by enemies.

I want you two to pursue this K.

Since he was trying to assassinate Chief Shin,

we don't know what he might do next.

We need to take care of him before anything happens.

Don't worry.

I'm going to stick to Chae like glue.

And we'll turn that K character into ashes.

Chae, let's get him!

Hey...

She may have a pretty face, but what a personality...

Thanks for everything.

You really don't look well. Please look after yourself.

I will. Bye.

- You! - I'm sorry.

What's gotten into her?

She used to be so energetic.

And why is her face so yellow?

Hey there, 20 bucks!

Shouldn't you at least say hello?

After all, I gave you my mp3 player and headphones too.

The headphones work well, don't they?

Talk to me.

What could be worrying a young girl like yourself?

I...

Yes, there's no one else here. So go on.

I might die.

What did you say?

Without a liver transplant, I'm going to die.

So I'm planning to get a transplant, but it's so hard to find a liver.

I think my liver's shrinking in the meantime.

You thought I'd cry, didn't you? I know you're telling a whopper.

I wish I were.

Then I'd be thrilled.

You are so funny.

This isn't what I asked for.

What do you mean?

Why would you tell me something like this?

- You asked me! - But this is heavy stuff.

Well, that's your problem!

How can you tell a stranger that you're dying?

Because you're a stranger and I won't ever see you again!

Hello?

Yes, this is Kang Min-joo speaking.

I see...

Well, if those are the test results, what can you do?

Thank you anyway.

What's the matter?

Hey...

Another mismatch.

This liver can't be used for my transplant either...

What brings you here, Elder Nam?

I didn't think you'd ever be back.

The secret human agency has found a way to identify us.

You must tend to this matter now.

It concerns the survival of our race.

- And what is this method? - It's our eyes.

And why would you tell me this?

Because it concerns my survival as well.

I may be with the rebel faction now,

but they have no way to handle something of this magnitude.

You must use all our clout in finance and politics.

It's the only way to keep ourselves from being exposed.

You'll have the most work to do.

You head the department that SICS belongs to.

I'll see SICS Director Jang tonight at a meeting.

The location of the meeting is top secret.

Min-woo, help me escort the director.

Sure.

A human agency has found a way to identify us.

We must destroy them tonight.

Si-yon...

I'd like you to go.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll go with her.

I want Si-yon to go by herself.

I'll carry out the mission.

So let's say there's this race that eats human liver.

We can't test every single person.

When we complete the eye-scanning equipment...

And we don't even know their location or how many there are.

It would be rather irresponsible.

Your opinion, sir?

Revealing this to the public would create mass chaos.

Letting them live would create more chaos.

The election's coming up. We have to keep a lid on this.

I'm all for going after them. But we can't let it get out of hand.

We have to take care of this away from the public eye.

Idiots...

What's the matter, sir?

The election?

They're going to turn a blind eye to look out for their own interests?

Min-woo, get the car ready.

Are you all right?

- It hurts. - You all right?

You've got a huge cut.

What happened?

- What happened? - I'm fine. Let's go.

- What happened? - They tried to kill the director.

What?

And how would the foxes know about the director?

So they already know about us?

They know about SICS?

I think so.

So we could die at any moment.

I think I'm losing my mind...

Tell me where it hurts.

- I have to report to the chief. - Si-yon.

I failed to carry out the mission she delegated to me.

- So I have to see her and... - That's not so important.

You almost died!

I'll report to Chief Shin.

So just tell me where it hurts.

I'll be all right in a little while.

This isn't the first time it's happened?

Once in a while...

It happens once in a while, and then goes away.

I'll be fine, really.

We've observed adverse reactions in the clinical trial.

What do you mean?

I apologize...

We're trying to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

How much more time do you need?

We're in the final stages.

We're being extra careful in order to avoid any mistakes.

Go.

Yes, ma'am.

We failed in our attempt to assassinate Director Jang.

What?

While carrying out the mission,

Si-yon fell victim to the 1000-year-old fox symptoms.

It's near.

Very near...

Dr. Jung is working on cloning human liver.

If we can successfully clone human liver,

our fox race and the human race can coexist in peace.

In order for that to happen, we need to buy some time.

Enough time to finish cloning human liver...

Enough time for us to meet our 1000-year-old fox,

who will give us eternal life...

- Sa-joon... - Yes?

You do know the conditions that must be met

in order for Si-yon to be reborn as the 1000-year-old fox, don't you?

She must remain a virgin until the red lunar eclipse.

You must protect her chastity.

The members of our race who are in politics and finance...

Gather them all.

You're telling me to work with them?

Don't you know who we're dealing with?

They're animals who eat us humans!

The higher-ups have ordered us to work with them.

You must be kidding.

They're in the upper echelons of the power structure.

They must've gotten to some higher-ups.

So the foxes want to work with us humans?

They're saying it's only a few renegades that are murdering humans.

That they only consume the livers of corpses.

So they want us to help them eliminate the renegades.

And we can live in peace. What nonsense!

Those foxes sure are cunning.

And if we refuse to work with them?

They'll risk an all-out war.

Sounds good to me.

Then we'll know who's a fox and who isn't.

The higher-ups are worried though.

We've got no idea of their numbers or strength.

All the more reason to hunt them down and destroy them.

Nope, the higher-ups prefer to be secured.

This is the file on Shin Moo-young.

Shin Moo-young...

That guy is Shin Moo-young.

I'll tail him. You can go back.

You're not fully recovered. I'll go with you.

But he knows what you look like.

That's Sa-joon, Moo-young's lawyer.

What is it?

It's him.

What do you mean?

He's the one who tried to kill Director Jang.

There's nothing more to find out.

They're foxes, all right.

Let's go back.

So Shin Moo-young really is a fox...

If it's an order, we'll agree to cooperate.

But their supreme leader has to come.

That's not negotiable.

Min-woo!

Your fiance, Shin Moo-young, is a fox!

A member of the fox race I told you about.

Min-woo...

I know, I know...

It's hard to believe. You think I'm crazy.

But you have to believe me.

Let's do this then.

Quit this job and go to the States with Min-joo.

I'll make the arrangements.

I can't do that.

Why not?

If you still don't believe it,

- I'll show you the proof. - Let go!

Si-yon...

You expect me to believe such an absurd story?

You're too much.

What do you have to gain by slandering him like that?

You're really pathetic.

Si-yon!

Yes, Detective Moon.

What...?

We need to talk.

Later... Mother wants to see me.

Kang Min-woo...

He's found out that you're a fox.

Moo-young. Your mother is looking for you.

Things are getting serious.

Cooperate with the SICS? How absurd is that?

That's the wish of the chief elder.

Well, what kind of a ridiculous wish is that?

Watch what you say.

How dare you speak that way about the chief elder?

Come on, no need to fight.

It's just a little hard to believe, that's all.

So what are we supposed to do with the SICS?

Destroy the rebel faction that's feeding on fresh human liver.

Tonight, the chief elder will meet with the SICS.

We'll escort her.

Why did you make a decision like that?

You've devoted the last 20 years to pursuing them.

You did everything to create the SICS.

And now you're going to bow down to them?

Bow down? Me?

Is that what it looks like?

You said you want work hand-in-hand with them.

Yes, we will.

We'll hold hands with them, all right.

You shouldn't go. It's too dangerous.

Director Jang wants to see me.

This is a trap.

It's only a matter of time before my identity is revealed.

You know that they've linked the museum to us.

This is the best option for the moment.

It's the only way we can buy ourselves some time.

Time for what?

You poor thing...

What will you do now?

Your true identity will be revealed to Kang Min-woo.

I can't imagine the expression on his face when he sees you.

I guess you'll have your veil on.

But you'd better cover up well.

When he gets a good look, he'll be in for quite a surprise.

Chae.

Could you excuse us?

I need to talk with Si-yon.

Congratulations,

you're the beneficiary of our newfound cooperation with the SICS.

When he finds out that Si-yon is a fox,

Kang Min-woo will soon be out of her life.

Will you excuse us?

Don't come to the meeting with the SICS.

I'll tell my mother.

Don't come.
