[Minseo] Sure you didn't.

[both grunt]

[metal can clanging]

[suspect] Let go!

[suspect grunts in pain]

[suspect groaning]

-You're under arrest for special larceny.
-Detective Seo!

[Minseo] What took you so long?

I'm sorry. I'll take it from here.

[handcuffs clicking]

Ugh.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-[Tansik] Hold still!
-I'm sorry...

EPISODE 11

[Youngeun] Hello.
Welcome to Youngeun's Knitting Studio.

I'm back with the giant velvet yarn.

"Both the bag and the host are so pretty"

This time, we're going to make
a simple cushion with this...

I'm back.

You got him already?

Good work.

Why are you by yourself?
Where's Detective Seo?

She ran into an acquaintance
and is chatting with him.

She'll be back at the precinct soon.

An acquaintance? Who?

-Was his name Jinseop?
-It's Jiseok.

Right, Jiseok.

Wow! You have a good memory.

I may be lazy,

but I'm actually quite smart.

Oh!

I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

Let me see. Who's this Jiseok?

Jiseok?

That ungrateful as*h*le?

Do you know him?

She used to date him
when she was a rookie officer.

[snorts]
She took such good care of him

when he was studying
for the civil servant exam,

but as soon as he passed it,
he dumped her.

That b*stard.

Anyway, it's a long story.

-What story?
-[suspect] What story?

[♪ striking stinger]

I'm sorry.

Minseo, come to your senses, will you?

I had a feeling
we might cross paths someday,

but I didn't expect it
to be in the men's room.

[sighs]

Has it been about two years?

Well...

I guess so.
[chuckles]

You have...

-something in your hair.
-My hair?

Oh.

[chuckles]

You live in Sejong?

I got transferred to Seoul last year,

so I live here now.

Isn't it tough
working on the Violent Crimes Team?

It can be intense,
but I enjoy it. It's fun.

Then again,

it was your dream after all.

That's right.

[sighs deeply]

[Jiseok] I'm getting married to Soyeong.

This week.

[♪ melancholy music playing]

I thought I should be the one to tell you.

Oh.

Congratulations.

[snorts]
There's no need for that.

What about you?

Are you seeing anyone?

What?

-You're not?
-I am.

You are?

-Who?
-Well...

There's this guy.

What does he do?

[♪ comical music playing]

He...

He's a nice guy.

So what does that nice guy do?

-He and I...
-Work in the same field?

Yeah...

Sort of.

-So he's also in the force?
-I mean...

[Jiseok] Is he on the same team as you?

[sighs]

-Yeah.
-[Jiseok] That's great.

I've been worried about you.

You didn't have to be.

[♪ sentimental music playing]

How did you know I love strawberries?

I didn't.

It just looked tasty.

[scoffs]

You're lying.

[Anastasia] Mmm.

It's so good.

Sweet and soft.

-Just like you.
-[Joongryeok] Anastasia.

I'm neither sweet nor soft.

You're lying again.

Your eyes give you away every time.

No, I'm good at lying.

My childhood nickname was Pinocchio.

-I'll get going.
-Wait.

You haven't replied to my text.

It was so long
I couldn't finish reading it.

[Anastasia] Anyway, I like you.

Will you officially go out with me?

[Joongryeok sighs]

Do you remember our first date?

Yeah.

We had seaweed oyster rice soup together.

It was delicious.

I want you to remember me...

like seaweed oyster rice soup.

Hearty,

warm, and delightful.

But that's it.

Love isn't for me.

-Love is for everyone.
-[Joongryeok] Except for me.

[♪ pensive music playing]

People say...

love is like snow.

It's beautiful at first

but only gets muddy afterward.

That's how I view love.

I'll be off.

[♪ melodramatic music playing]

It's cold outside.

Joongryeok!

[sobbing]

[sobbing continues]

[♪ melodramatic music intensifies]

[music fades]

[♪ sentimental song playing]

Watch out, sir!

-[officer] Sir.
-[Minseo] Hey!

Where do you live?

-[drunkard] Why do you need to know that?
-[officer] Sir!

-[drunkard groans]
-[officer] I'll deal with him.

-Sir, sir!
-[drunkard] Hey.

Jiseok!

[mouthing]
It's okay.

[mouthing]
I'm sorry.

[mouthing]
I love you too.

[officer and drunkard clamoring]

Jiseok.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
It's chaos today.

Don't worry. Take your time.

There's nothing I enjoy more
than waiting for you.

You're so sweet.

Should we go for some meat today?

-Meat?
-Yes.

Uh... It's pretty chilly today,

so how about some tteokbokki?

What does that
have to do with the cold?

I'm craving meat.

I'll go change real quick. Just a moment.

Wait...

Okay.

[♪ sentimental song continues]

Where did you go in the middle of eating?

[amused laughing]

[Jiseok] Here. You always complain
about indigestion after eating late.

Thanks. You're the best.

Oh! This looks done.

Here you go, Officer Seo Minseo.

It looks delicious.

After you.

Here.

-How is it? Good, right?
-[Jiseok] Mmm!

Let's go for some beef
when I get paid next month.

No. Wait until I pass the exam,
and I'll treat you to beef.

Prime cuts?

-Prime cuts it is.
-[happy exclaim]

SEOUL BUSTERS

[Junghwan] The stolen car
Yoon Jihun used for burglary

was found in a nearby
supermarket parking lot.

The NFS is analyzing the dashcam footage.

They'll send us the enhanced footage
tomorrow at the earliest.

All right. Good work.

-Detective Jung, please see it through.
-Yes, sir.

[Yubin] Dating violence
is on the rise in our jurisdiction.

How are you dealing with that,
Detective Seo?

Detective Seo?

Uh...

You weren't listening.

I'm sorry, sir.

[Yubin] Detective Moo.

[softly]
Detective Moo?

[♪ awkward stinger]

I have everything under control, sir.

Just because we're in a daycare center
doesn't mean you can act like kids.

Do I really need to remind you
to pay attention during meetings?

[both softly] I'm sorry, sir.

I don't want any half-baked excuses
from either of you.

Sorry?

Wait, since there are two of you,

it must be a fully-baked excuse.

Oh!

A half-baked excuse from each of you
would add up to a fully-baked excuse,

just like when you double
the cooking time.

[laughing]

Captain, you crack me up.

It wasn't meant to be funny.

I know. Your joke was hilarious,
but it didn't make me laugh.

[Yubin] Anyway, pay attention, everyone.

Detective Seo,
how many dating violence cases

have there been
in our jurisdiction so far?

Well... Can you hand me
that file over there?

[Minseo] The one on the left down there.

Yes, that one.

[shrill squeaking]

[door knob rattling]

I need you to come quickly.

Someone's trying to break into my place.

Please hurry. Yes.

[squeaking and rattling continue]

SONGWON POLICE STATION
HAS MOVED TO A TEMPORARY LOCATION

She's a stranger?

Are you sure?

I've never seen her before.

Did you say you live alone?

Yes, I live alone.

[tearfully] I found out that
she was living with my boyfriend.

We're engaged.

[sobbing] I visited his place
because I couldn't reach him,

and I found her there.

[Tansik] This doesn't add up.

She claims her boyfriend lives there,

but the victim lives alone,

and the guy was nowhere to be found.

Maybe she got
the wrong address or apartment.

That can't be it.

She even brought tools
to break open the door.

That means it wasn't impulsive.

She must've been
monitoring the victim for a while.

Then what should we do, sir?

[Joongryeok] What else?
There's nothing more to it.

She was caught in the act of
breaking and entering, so it's game over.

Should we hand her over right away?

Hmm...

Drink it while it's warm.

[suspect] Thank you.

So you don't know your boyfriend's name

or what he looks like?

What made you believe
your boyfriend lived in that apartment?

He said it was provided

by the National Intelligence Service.

The National Intelligence Service?

[sobbing] He said it was confidential.

[♪ mellow music playing]

[suspect] He explained that's why
I couldn't meet him even if I came over.

He just asked me to bring some items

and leave them at the door.

How did you two first meet?

We met on MyHeart.

[Yubin] MyHeart? What's that?

[Tansik] It's a dating app.

It's popular with young people.

[Yubin] So they met on the app?
Is that where she got his address?

She believed he lived in a safe house

-provided by the NIS.
-A safe house?

The Intelligence Service
isn't your neighborhood car service.

That's just too far-fetched.

She lives in a student apartment.
Is she looking for a job?

She's studying for the civil servant exam.

ACE THE EXAM AND
ENTER THE GOVERNMENT!

YOU'RE ALMOST THERE! YOU CAN DO THIS!

[♪ sentimental music playing]

FEELING LONELY?
FIND YOUR MATCH ON MyHeart!

[Minseo] She tried the dating app
out of curiosity.

[app notification chiming]

Hi! Wanna chat?

[♪ sentimental music continues]

Hi

[smacking]

[app notification chiming]

Huh?

[squealing happily]

[Minseo] After dating online
for about a month,

they agreed to get married.

[Junghwan] She got engaged without
seeing his face or knowing his name?

Does she think marriage is a joke?

You can do that...

when you're in love.

How much money did she lose?

[Minseo] Around 400 million won.

[gasps]


Where did she get all that money?

She borrowed money from people
by making up excuses,

-[flustered sigh]
-and she even took out private loans.

[Junghwan sighs]
How is that even possible?

You can do that when you're in love.

[loudly]
Why are you going on about love?

[Junghwan]
Anyway, how did he ask her for money?

He told her that he was a secret agent

and that he lost some funds
for his operation.

He said he was going to inherit a fortune,

and they could move abroad together
once everything was settled.

Something like that.

[Junghwan] I'm baffled.

How could she believe that?

Because she loved him!

[♪ sentimental music continues]

Because she loved him.

[Yubin] As soon as she sent the money,
he ghosted her.

And when she visited his address,

she found another woman living there.
Is that it?

I hear a sound.

The sound of her world
crumbling around her.

[Yubin] It's a typical romance scam.

It's not going to be easy.

This is my case, so I'll see it through.

[Yubin] Sounds good.

Detective Moo, please assist her.

[♪ sentimental music continues]

I have a lot on my plate. Why me?

Since you're an expert in love.

Do we know anything else?

[Minseo] They video chatted once.

Things will settle down soon.

I miss you.

Oh.

I have to go. My boss needs me right away.

[Eunkyung] This is a deepfake.

Non-experts may have trouble
discerning it,

but I actually have a degree
in AI. [chuckles]

So I ran an analysis on the video,

and this one frame had an error,

revealing another person's face.

No wonder victims get fooled.

It shows how difficult it is
to spot deepfake videos.

Hold on.

[inhales sharply]
I think I've seen this video before.

[Eunkyung breathes deeply]

Here it is.

Oh, I did it again.

I have such a good memory.

[♪ snazzy music playing]

Actually, my IQ is over 160.

-You didn't know that, did you?
-No.

Take a look at this.

We can meet
as soon as this gets sorted out.

[sighs]
I can't wait to see you.

-We...
-The same frame has an error here too.

They must've used the same video.

This means they've been at it
since last year.

There have been similar cases
in other areas too.

-Please email me the files.
-[Eunkyung] Okay.

[♪ nostalgic music playing]

What's that?

It's chocolate. Do you want some?

No, thanks. I don't like sweets.

Yubin, chocolate makes
your brain work better.

Is that the sole reason you're eating it?

Absolutely.
It's just like taking medicine.

[Yubin inhales sharply]

I'm learning psychological analysis
at the FBI these days.

I can tell when you're lying.

-I mean it. Try one.
-[chocolate rattling in box]

You'll see what I mean.

[♪ nostalgic music continues]

[both laughing]

[♪ nostalgic music continues]

[placing chocolate box]

Granny!

Welcome.

One bowl of rice soup, please.
With a lot of offal.

[muttering]
Goodness.

Why haven't you had dinner yet?

We have a new case.

I just got off. I'm exhausted.

My goodness. Give me just a second.

Hey, your face is getting
thinner and thinner.

At this rate, it'll disappear soon.

[Minseo giggling]

-Eat more.
-Give me extra, please.

[Granny giggling]

Mom, one bowl of rice soup, please.

You little brat! I'm not your mom!

Wouldn't it be great
if you had a son like me?

[both snarling]

[Minseo] Detective Moo.

Minseo. You didn't go home?

I've been working on my case.

-You have?
-Yeah.

No matter how busy you are,
you should eat.

-[Minseo] Definitely.
-[sighs, then inhales sharply]

Hey, I heard you ran into Jiseok,
or whatever his name is.

[sighs]
How could you run into your ex

in the men's room?

What an ill-fated relationship.

Don't tell me
that rekindled your love or anything.

He's getting married.

Are you okay?

Ugh, come on. We broke up ages ago.

-Shall we drink some soju?
-Forget it.

-Let's drink.
-I quit drinking.

Mom, give us a bottle of soju!

I'm not going to drink!

That's the day we first met.

[Minseo exhales sharply]
Was it?

If it hadn't been for me,
you would've been disciplined.

Still, I couldn't hold back.

[grunts] Oh, you were incredible.

"You b*stard!"

I thought you were out of your mind.

[Joongryeok] Too bad it's so cold.

It's okay. It's a bit warmer today.

Did you receive the picture?

He's supposed to show up
around here often.

-Please keep an eye out.
-Yes, sir.

I heard one of your colleagues
wants to join the Violent Crimes Team.

You're talking about Officer Seo.

She's right there.
I'm sure she'll do well.

Uh, she looks a bit weak.

[vehicle approaching]

I picked out the prettiest ones.

It even has our picture.

You know I...

Jiseok.

[♪ melodramatic music playing]

Jung Soyeong?



[Minseo] Ugh!

You said you were going out of town
for a wedding.

Minseo, let's talk later.

Get out. Right now.

-[door handle rapping]
-I said get out!

-Out!
-What are you doing?

-Soyeong, you crazy b*tch!
-I'll get out.

-[Minseo] Get out right now!
-[Jiseok] I will.

Look at that.

[car door shuts]

"50 days together"?

How long has this been going on? Huh?

It's not what you think it is.

[screaming]
Hey!

How could you do this to me?

How dare you?

-[yells] Stop it! I get it!
-[Minseo screams] Hey!

You crazy b*stard!

-Damn you!
-Do you think this has been easy for me?

I've been putting up with you
this whole time!

You're out of your mind.

[♪ frantic music playing]

[electricity crackling]

Oh no!

[exclaims in shock]

[♪ sad trombone stinger]

Imagine you had tased a civilian, not me.

Then you wouldn't be here now.

I'm so grateful that I could cry,
Detective Moo. [mock crying]

I know.

You're not one to be ungrateful.

Definitely not. I know how to be grateful.

In return,
I'll fill your glass to the brim.

Here you go.

-Let me pour you one too.
-Sure.

-[in English] Love shot.
-Love shot?

[playful exclaim]

[Minseo slurred exhale]

[sighs]

[in Korean] Didn't you say
you almost got married once?

[sighs]

Don't be like that.
I want to hear about it.

[sighs]

It's a pathetic story.

If I may ask...

what's your name?

[merchant] Me?

[exhales loudly]

Joongryeok.

I asked around,
and she seems to be single.

-[Joongryeok] Anything else?
-Anything else?

She's a fan of Byun Jinsub.

Byun Jinsub? What does she like about him?

I have no idea.

Anyway, she's a huge fan.

-[Minseo] Detective Moo.
-What?

I have to go.

In the middle of drinking?

I asked them to look into
the bank accounts in Hyebin's case,

and they're already finished.

You're off duty now. Just stay.

I just feel so bad for her.

Let's drink one last shot.

SONGWON POLICE STAITON HAS MOVED
TO A TEMPORARY LOCATION

All the accounts Hyebin sent money to
were under borrowed names.

[Minseo] The money she sent
was withdrawn right away.

That must mean he had accomplices.

[Minseo] The money was withdrawn
in these neighborhoods in Yeongdeungpo.

The only account with any money left
is Account D.

I'm sure it'll also be withdrawn soon.

If the perp used ATMs,
there should be CCTV footage.

[Minseo] Not really.

His face was all covered,
so you don't see anything.

[♪ pensive music playing]

Hold on.

[Yubin] There's something
on the back of his hand.

-What's that?
-I see dark spots.

Those aren't spots.
It looks like a tattoo.

Isn't that Fubao?

[Joongryeok] A hobo? Don't be ridiculous.

Who would want a hobo
tattooed on their hand?

[Minseo] Not a hobo.

Don't you know Fubao, the cute panda?

[sighs]

Who cares whether he has a tattoo
of a panda or a hobo?

[Joongryeok] We still don't know
where he'll show up next.

Can you show me the map again?

Hmm...

I think I see a pattern.

He didn't use
any of the ATMs at the banks.

He only used convenience store ATMs
next to major streets

where he could pull up his car.

And he never used the same ATM twice.

That should narrow down our options.

That leaves us with those three, right?

Yes. Let's start from there.

[Tansik] Hello.

We're from Sojanggak.
Try our sweet and sour pork.

Sweet and sour pork!

It's really delicious.

Hello.

-Try our sweet and sour pork.
-[bypasser] Forget it!

Take it easy. Why are you trying so hard?

Those who hand out flyers
are usually very enthusiastic.

Are you running a restaurant for real?
Are you a chef or something?

I won't do it again.

Hello!

[bypasser] Oh!

Excuse me.

Is this place any good?

I don't know.

What? How can you not know
if you're promoting it?

I've never tried their food.

What's with the attitude?

[♪ dramatic Chinese music playing]

[aura blowing]

-You're so damn honest.
-What? Come here.

Let it go, Detective Moo.

May I have a flyer too?

Go away, kid.

-I want one.
-Go away!

Here you go. Now, leave.

-Go already!
-[Donggoo] Is this true?

Can I get free sweet and sour pork
if I bring 10 people?

What?

[Donggoo] It says so here.

"Bring 10 people,
and you get free sweet and sour pork."

Yeah, sure.

Free sweet and sour pork sure sounds nice.

Okay.

[Joongryeok] Don't come back.

Jesus or hell.

-Buddha, give us peace.

but could you check

I bet I can use them.

It says here I can get a 500-won discount.

[woman grumbles]
I said we don't accept reward points!

Why do you keep saying no?

-Are you sure about this?
-[woman] Stop it!

[♪ comical music playing]

Hey!

Gosh, you surprised me.

-[hushing]
-[whispering] You look so real.

[whispering]
So do you. It's incredible.

Really?

"Jesus or hell." [chuckles]

What are you doing here?

The ATM over there is out of order.

I'm going to take a lap and call it a day.

Ugh, you're slacking off. As usual.

What are you talking about?

[Junghwan] Give me something to drink.
I'm thirsty.

That'll be 10,000 won.

No way. I have reward points.

-Look!
-[Minseo] What's with you?

I can't believe you.

[chuckles]

I'll pay you later.

Jesus or hell.

Jesus or hell.

This isn't going anywhere.

Hey, I heard your ATM is out of order.
That's great.

-Sorry?

Hey, since when did our team

If Detective Jung is busy,
I'll go out alone starting tomorrow.

I can't trust you.

-Just sit back down.
-Okay.

[Joongryeok] Jeez. What is it now?

You can't barge in here like this, ma'am!

Who said you could come in?

-Thank you.
-That's Detective Seo.

Minseo?

Ta-da.

Wow!

-Are you kidding me?
-I want one with pills.

Come on.

Yes, that one.

-[Yubin] Come on in.
