Original subtitles

The reason I'm here today is not only to join hands

in exterminating those who feed on fresh human liver,

but also to issue you a warning.

A warning?

You are to go after only those who feed on fresh liver.

Not our entire race.

If you do anything to threaten our existence,

we will not simply sit still.

What would you do about it?

We will destroy the human race.

You already know how powerful we are compared to the human race.

Well, if you're so powerful,

why have you been in hiding all this time?

It's not because we're weak,

but because we wish to coexist peacefully with the human race.

As parasites?

You cannot exist independently of the human race.

Unfortunately, those who feed on fresh human liver

and those of you here today are the same in our eyes.

The fact is that you both consume human liver.

In order for you to convince us that you're different,

you'll have to try very hard.

You'll have to try hard as well.

We are here for the same reason.

Please keep one thing in mind.

The ones you are after are also the ones we are after.

We'll keep that in mind.

In turn, we will expect a lot of cooperation from you.

We'd like to ask the same of you.

Please help us.

Jang has agreed to cooperate with us for now,

but this arrangement may not last.

We may find ourselves in an all-out war.

He showed up today to confirm our identities.

Now that he knows, he'll come up with some plan.

But he'll find it difficult to do anything hasty.

Now that we know the true identities of Shin Ko-won and Shin Moo-young,

look into the people around them.

- We should be able to find more. - Yes, sir.

Was I right?

About Si-yon...

I was right!

I warned you, didn't I?

I still can't believe it.

You saw her with your own two eyes.

And they admitted to being nine-tailed foxes.

My...

I'm about to lose my mind...

Maybe that fox got close to you

because she knew you were a member of the SICS.

That's it! Look at the circumstances.

And you talked about fate? You idiot...

You've been totally taken advantage of.

Let's talk about this another time.

Where are you going? To see her?

I have to hear it from her directly.

Have you lost your mind? You don't know what she may do to you.

- You've got some guts. - I have to see her.

Si-yon.

You can't go back now.

It's over with Kang Min-woo.

I have to tell him one last thing.

- Just one last thing... - There's no need for words.

By revealing your identity,

you've already explained everything to him.

And the person who made that choice...

...is you.

I'm sorry, Moo-young.

No, it can't be true...

There's no way.

I can't let Hyon-soo die like this.

I have to persuade him.

Yes, I have to persuade him.

Si-yon!

Si-yon!

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

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.

What's going on?

What is this about?

- Si-yon! - Wrong question.

You should ask me who I am.

Yes, it's true... I'm a nine-tailed fox.

- You can't be... - But I am.

So the Si-yon I've known all along was nothing but a lie?

Please listen to me first.

How could you have deceived me like that?

- How? - I want to ask you for a favor.

Please leave the SICS.

- What? - I don't want to have to fight you.

But you fought just fine underneath your veil.

And now you say you don't want to fight?

You'll get hurt. Humans can't defeat us.

I have no choice. But you do.

So please...

Please leave the SICS.

Do you know why I became a cop?

Because of the tragic deaths of my parents and friends.

You guys killed everyone I loved!

And you're telling me to leave the SICS?

This time, it's you that might be killed.

No, I'm not going to die.

Now that I know your true identities,

I'm just getting started.

Min-woo...

It's all for the best.

You've been trying to get rid of me anyway.

I've been trying to get over you...

But I'm over you now.

You're nothing but a nine-tailed fox to me now!

Si-yon, what's wrong?

Does it hurt that much?

Does letting Kang Min-woo go hurt you that much?

Si-yon...

The mark of the 1000-year-old fox...

It was the mark of the 1000-year-old fox.

Min-woo, pick up!

Man, this is so frustrating.

Did Yun Si-yon suck out his liver or something?

- Suck? A liver isn't a lollipop. - You scared me.

Always mumbling to yourself like an old man...

Yes, I'm an old man.

And I'm exercising my mind so that I won't go senile.

The director wants to see you.

He does? He asked for me?

Why would the director want to see me?

It's about time he asked for me.

He needs my 15 years of experience. Right?

Like a ''dia'' in the rough, I shine even in this joint.

Nobody uses such broken English anymore.

You're so unsophisticated. It's ''diamond.''

Well, I say ''dia''...

We lose nothing by cooperating with them.

The more we come into contact with them,

the more we'll learn about them.

And we'll kill off their leaders first.

But they're pretty formidable.

We'll have to discover their weakness.

You asked for me, Director?

I need to ask you something.

I'll do my best to answer.

My specialty has been intelligence gathering and analysis...

How do Min-woo and Si-yon know each other?

Pardon?

You said you're cooperating with the SICS

in order to buy ourselves some time.

Time for what?

I could find out on my own.

Should I?

Enough time to clone human liver.

I've been trying to have human liver cloned.

If we could have all the human liver we want,

wouldn't it solve everything?

For the human race and our fox race as well.

We're on the verge of success...

And then the humans found out about us.

That's why we need to buy some time.

Since we've decided to cooperate with the SICS,

we have to exploit the rebel faction as a common foe.

And use Si-yon as the go-between.

Why does it have to be Si-yon?

You really have to ask?

It's to separate her from Kang Min-woo.

If she has to deal with him as a warrior of our race,

she won't be able to think about dating him.

- Mother! - It's for you...

As well as our race.

You'll be the next chief, and she's your betrothed.

We can't let her associate with some human.

We have to make sure those two are separated.

Certainty is always the safest route.

You're nothing but a nine-tailed fox to me now!

How are you feeling?

I'm better now.

I made you worry, didn't I?

Yes, I was worried.

About your body and mind...

I can't even apologize to you anymore.

There are no words to express how sorry I am...

Then stop doing things you have to apologize for.

Did you go see a doctor?

Yes, they told me there's nothing wrong with me.

But the pain is worse and comes a lot more often.

Does anyone else know about it?

Sa-joon does.

I failed to kill Director Jang because of the pain.

Sa-joon was there to help me.

He did?

What's wrong?

Si-yon.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't tell anyone about it.

What do you mean?

Keep it a secret. Especially from my mother.

Why?

Don't ask questions, and please do as I say.

Promise me.

The flight leaves Saturday afternoon.

Min-woo...

I can't go to the airport.

But I told Mom and Dad, so they'll be there.

I'll mail you your things later.

Come on! How can you just force something like this on me?

It's all for your own good. Don't ask questions.

All for my own good? You don't even know the state I'm in!

What do you mean, the state you're in?

Come on, tell me!

Min-woo, I...

I'm...

Answer your phone.

No, go ahead.

It's really important. It's not something I can just say.

So answer your phone

Hello?

The director wants to see me?

Thanks, Detective Moon.

I don't know what it is, but you have to leave.

That doesn't change. Got it?

I'll call you later. I have to go.

I'm sick and dying...

Min-woo, I'm dying.

Hey, you!

Where did you go, and why was your phone tuned off?

- Did you go to see Si-yon? - No.

You're killing me. You disappear, and I have to take the blame.

What happened?

The director called me and then...

Why can't you look me in the eye?

I spilled the beans.

The whole story about you and Si-yon...

I want you to kill Yun Si-yon.

Sir...

Do you really think we can work with them?

Both sides are only pretending to cooperate.

We're both looking for a chance to attack each other.

But we did agree to cooperate...

All the nine-tailed foxes are the same.

My goal is to kill as many of them as possible.

But why does it have to be Si-yon?

She lets her guard down with you, because she has feelings for you.

Use that to your advantage,

and you should be able to kill her easily.

When you kill her, she'll turn to ashes.

They may suspect us, but without evidence,

they won't be able to do anything about it.

Since they're also fighting the rebel faction,

we can just blame it on the rebels.

Sir...

We'll kill the warriors and Chief Shin one by one.

We have no chance in an all-out war.

But that's cowardly.

Cowardly?

You may not have known Yun Si-yon's identity,

but she knew yours and used you!

She used me?

In the case of Agent Lee Seung-jun's death,

how do you think they knew where to find us?

You're the only one who could've leaked that info.

She must have gotten that info from you.

If we have to act cowardly to kill the foxes,

then so be it.

You were looking for me?

Look into the legend of the 1000-year-old fox.

Why that, out of the blue?

I'm just curious.

Mother used to tell me about it, and it left an impression.

Oh?

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

That Si-yon's been sick.

I just didn't want you to worry.

She said herself that it's no big deal.

Is something wrong?

Something just seems strange.

You usually tell me everything.

Sa-joon...

No, never mind.

You didn't tell anyone that she's sick, did you?

- No. - Keep it a secret for now.

Why?

I'm not sure...

But till I am sure, we have to be careful.

You may not have known Yun Si-yon's identity,

but she knew yours and used you!

Set up a time and place, so we can eliminate this K.

It's time to get rid of him once and for all.

You want me to be the bait?

When he finds out that you've rejoined the council,

will he let you live?

The warriors will protect you.

I need your help.

You're saying that Nam Jun-woo has betrayed us, my lady?

He's involved in this agreement with the humans.

Nam Jun-woo...

You must get rid of him.

Hello?

Elder Nam...

In fact, I wanted to meet with you to discuss something.

Where shall we meet?

We have a joint mission with the SICS tonight.

Elder Nam will lure in K, the leader of the rebels.

Si-yon, I want you to go. Kill Nam and K both.

Even Elder Nam?

Of course.

You must kill them on the spot.

You must not let the SICS take them alive.

Please spare Elder Nam's life.

You must've promised him that you'd spare him.

Yes, I did promise him that.

But because of his agenda and his greed,

he could betray me at any time.

He'll always be a thorn in my side.

- Mother! - If you can't obey my order,

then step aside!

I am the chief elder.

Yes, Chief Shin.

I'll mobilize our agents.

We'll be on a joint mission tonight.

The target is the leader of the rebel faction

responsible for the murders and organ deals.

- Agent Kim and I will go. - No.

Agent Kim and Agent Kang Min-woo will go.

You scared me.

Why did you stop all of a sudden?

Why are you following me around everywhere?

- You don't like it? - No, I don't.

But I do. Come on.

I don't want to end up holding the short end of the stick.

If you have something to say, then say it.

If you have a question, ask.

Well, Chae...

I'm sure I'm just being overly sensitive.

Chae wouldn't do something like that.

I'll just watch her for now.

Why did you stop in the middle of your sentence?

Well, what I wanted to say was...

That you look hot today.

You must've gotten a good night's sleep.

I can hardly take my eyes off you.

That's what you wanted to say?

Yes, doesn't it make you feel good?

I'm hanging out here today.

My schedule got all mixed up.

Am I just being too sensitive?

What brings you here?

I came to keep my promise.

What promise?

I promised you once that I'd repay you for a favor.

You're scheduled to see someone this evening, right?

You shouldn't go.

So your mother is trying to kill me as well.

I won't do this again. I only owe you one favor.

You'll have to hide where you can't be found.

Wait!

I have to tell you something as well.

It's about Si-yon.

What do you mean?

It may be hard to believe, but it's true.

Your mother killed Si-yon's father.

And how would you know that?

Have you forgotten that I was once your mother's right hand?

Her father and your mother were good friends.

Then one day, when Si-yon was two, her father disappeared with her.

Your mother looked for them desperately.

And ten years after that, she found them.

As soon as she found them, she killed Si-yon's father.

- What was the reason? - I don't know that either.

I do know that she wanted Si-yon near her.

And she raised Si-yon to be a warrior.

Why are you telling me this?

Let's just say it's my way of getting back at her.

If you don't believe me, ask her yourself.

Long time, no see.

Last time I saw you,

I could see that you needed more practice with your sword.

We'll cover the front, you cover the back.

No, everyone for themselves.

Put your personal feelings aside. Otherwise, you may get hurt.

You'll be fine though. You're quite the martial arts expert.

Hey, Min-woo...

I'll never be your partner again.

Why? What happened?

Why don't you ask the hotshot over here?

He made all kinds of silly moves,

and single-handedly managed to send them all fleeing.

- What happened? - I'm sorry...

I'm sorry.

You've failed a lot of missions lately.

I'm sorry.

Go!

Elder Nam didn't show up at that location?

Moo-young...

I told you to kill the leader of the rebels and Yun Si-yon,

and you fail to do both?

Next time, don't make another mistake. Kill Yun Si-yon!

That's one thing I can't do...

I'll make up for Seung-jun's death in some other way.

Your parents died at their hands.

And they turned you and your sister's lives into a mess.

Have you forgotten all that?

Si-yon isn't responsible for those acts.

She only punishes those who feed on fresh human liver.

She doesn't kill humans.

I told you, they're animals!

One day, they'll show their true colors.

Do you still trust Yun Si-yon?

Do you?

I'm sorry, sir.

Hey, Kang Min-woo!

I heard that you failed your mission.

You and Min-woo were paired up,

and yet you managed to miss both Elder Nam and K.

You and Min-woo should stick to dating.

Don't go on missions together.

How was it?

Fighting on the same side with Min-woo...

A relief?

I don't want to mince words with you.

Let me just ask you one more thing.

Even after finding out you're a fox,

does he still look at you with those doting eyes?

What are you trying to get to?

Why don't you confess and tell him that

you're the girl whose picture is in his locket?

What...?

Or should I tell him for you?

What do you two think you're doing?

Chae, I need to talk to you.

You have something to say? Well, spit it out!

If you really love him, let him go.

Stop making yourself so pathetic.

Well, my love for him is pathetic. It's petty and childish.

- Chae... - I know it too.

That no matter what I do, Moo-young will never be mine.

But I want to take him away from her!

If I can't have him, I'll make sure she can't either.

Pathetic, huh?

If you know that, then give up.

No, I'm going to see this to the end.

Even if it kills me, I'll make him mine.

I can't give up on this pathetic love!

You should never have to beg for love.

What happened, my lady?

I knew you'd be safe.

You did?

I almost died out there.

I couldn't help it.

- They've grown suspicious of me. - Suspicious?

They know your true identity?

Who?

It must be Rang.

Is he the only one who knows?

For now...

We'll have to get rid of him.

- Leave him alone. - Leave him alone?

- He'll put you in danger. - Leave Rang alone.

- My lady! - He may be of some use to us.

So leave him alone.

But it's true.

Your mother killed Si-yon's father.

The strange thing is that she didn't kill Si-yon,

but raised her to be a warrior.

What's on your mind?

Just...

Find out anything about the legend of the1000-year-old fox?

Yes, but there's not much to tell.

A 1000-year-old fox is born every 1000 years.

They say that if this fox is sacrificed

on the night of the red lunar eclipse, our race will live in peace.

That's about it.

What does it mean to live in peace?

It's a legend, so it must not mean anything.

No, it must have some meaning.

The 1000-year-old fox mural on the temple facade...

And Mother speaks of the 1000-year-old fox at times.

There's definitely something.

I'm not sure...

- Anything about Si-yon's father? - No, nothing.

Why do you want to know all of a sudden?

I just found out a secret.

A secret?

Did Moo-young say anything out of the ordinary?

He probably tipped off Elder Nam.

He stakes his life on keeping his promises.

He and I will grow farther and father apart.

We may even have to sever our relationship.

What's all this stuff?

I'm going to move.

Is it because of Min-woo?

By the way, what brings you here?

What was your father like?

Why do you want to know about my father all of a sudden?

I've never heard you talk about him.

He was a very cheerful person.

He really liked the sound of my laughter,

so he'd constantly say funny things.

But he'd always end up laughing first.

And then I'd start laughing.

I think that even as he was passing away,

he looked at me and smiled.

You said that assassins killed your father, right?

According to your mother,

they were my father's political enemies.

My mother said that to you?

If she hadn't saved me back then, I probably would've been dead too.

Is that why you'd even risk your life for her?

To repay her?

It's not so simple.

I respect and trust her so much that I'd gladly give up...

Nothing is worth giving up your own life.

Neither my mother nor Kang Min-woo...

Is something wrong?

Find Nam Jun-woo, who's in hiding like a little rat.

And kill him.

You can handle that, can't you?

Yes, leave it to me.

I'll watch you very carefully.

To see whether or not you can do something Si-yon couldn't.

I'll give you all the information on the fox race.

What do I have to give you in return?

Protect me from Chief Shin.

Agreed.

This is bugging me.

Maybe I should've just asked Chae about it.

Thanks to her,

everything's getting twisted in knots, including my hair.

Who's Chae?

What are you doing here?

Don't tell me you're following me around.

You're the one who told me I could see you here.

- You're here to see me? - Yes.

- Why? - Throw me a farewell party.

What?

I'm leaving for the States tomorrow.

But what about your surgery?

It's hopeless. They'll never get around to me.

What are you going to do?

If you feel that bad, give me your liver.

Don't look scared. Just take me out for a meal.

What do you feel like?

Hey!

We have orders to protect Minister Nam

from Chief Elder Shin of the fox race.

Minister Nam Jun-woo?

He's agreed to turn over information regarding the fox race.

I don't understand.

Apparently he's one of the leaders of the foxes.

You mean Minister Nam is actually a nine-tailed fox?

Yes.

I'm speechless.

We let our enemy watch over us.

How many of them have penetrated our society?

The foxes know where we're located, so we can't bring Minister Nam here.

Go escort him to another safe hideout.

Yes, sir.

- Where are you going? - What's with the flower?

I was at a wedding. I picked one from the wreath.

Really brings in the autumn atmosphere, doesn't it?

Se-kyung, it's a present.

- For me? - Of course.

The bride was so ugly that I thought of you.

What I'm saying is...

That you're beautiful and voluptuous.

Not to mention your cool personality. And that you'd make a perfect bride.

You sure you didn't get this from a funeral wreath?

- Come on... - It feels a little weird.

Thanks!

Hey, wake up!

Hey... She has a high fever.

I'm losing my mind...

Why isn't anyone here?

Doctor!

Hello?

Hi, Min-joo.

I'm a little busy right now.

- Talk to you later. - Min-woo...

Min, joo, what's wrong?

Min-joo!

We've found where Nam Jun-woo is hiding, my lady.

Where is he?

- It shouldn't take long. - Okay, just go.

Sorry.

She has a temperature...

And she's having trouble breathing.

You'll have to check her in to the hospital first.

- Where can I do that? - Come with me.

Where's the emergency room?

Min-joo!

What happened? What's wrong with her?

She's lost consciousness from shock.

What do you mean?

We'll have the answer after we run some tests.

Hello?

I'm on my way to get Minister Nam.

You can't go by yourself. Wait for me. I'm on my way.

I asked Young-mo to come with me.

Se-kyung!

When will she wake up?

We just gave her a tranquilizer shot,

so she should be up in two or three hours.

Two or three hours?

I'll be back by then. Please take good care of my little sister.

Please.

Se-kyung!

Se-kyung, wake up...

Se-kyung!

- Min-woo! - What kind of creature are you?

- What's going on? - How could you kill a person?

- How? - What are you talking about?

Who's the real you?

Even though you're a nine-tailed fox,

I still believed in you.

I believed you were no different from me!
