and events in this drama are fictitious.)

(Episode 13)

What took you so long?

Where's the drug?

Is it Jeong Yoon h*?

Yes.

Who reported it?

They didn't want to reveal their identity.

They only reported the location

where the body was found.

From their voice, we presume them

to be in their 50s or 60s.

- Did you track the number?

- It was a payphone.

A case like this means

they witnessed the body get buried, right?

They likely saw the face of the criminal.

Check all the security cameras

around the area.

Okay.

This isn't by a hiking trail.

What was the witness doing here?

I found a shoe here!

This shoe.

Compare it to the footprints

from the mill m*rder.

Okay.

What's that?

Isn't this a mono maple tree sap pouch?

This is what the caller came here for.

(Speed)

The biggest risk this project has

isn't Joo In Sang or Jong Soo.

It's you.

All you merely had were ten cows.

Your family couldn't even afford

to feed them.

I took their only son

and poured my money into him

to turn him into a human.

What a work of art you've become.

(Won Jong Soo)

Hey, Jong Soo.

Where are you?

At the gym. Why?

You're trying hard to live long.

Let's drink to celebrate a good day.

Weren't you with Han Sung Hoon?

It's odd how I don't feel like

hanging out with him.

Come to Pilo-dong.

Well,

I'd like the night off. See you tomorrow.

Tae Jin.

Be there.

I have something to say.

Okay. I'll be there.

Who do you think k*lled Jeong Yoon h*?

Right now, I suspect everyone.

Won Jong Soo, Park Tae Jin,

and Oh Chi Hyun.

Why are all your friends so messed

But then

I'm not in the position to say that.

What do we do about Chang Soo?

Let's look into it quietly.

Who can we ask?

Soo Hyun.

Are you sure?

She's close to Chang Soo.

She can separate work and friendship.

It'll be fine.

What about tomorrow's Manpyeong Port raid?

Do we take Chang Soo?

We made it look like one of us

was leaving with Gong Jin Wook.

We need someone

Gong Jin Wook doesn't know

to go undercover.

Let's take him.

I feel bothered.

I can't read him anymore.

It's not for sure yet.

(Connection)

Hey.

What's going on?

Did you sell drugs behind my back?

Darn you.

I didn't know you were such a backstabber.

On his knees.

I heard a lemon-colored pill

was all the rage,

and I really wanted to try it.

It was

"made in Keumhyung Pharmaceutical."

This punk said

it was made with

the same raw materials as mine.

If you got caught,

were you going to reveal

the manufacturing lab,

put the blame on me,

and get off scot-free, you psycho?

We should've k*lled him, not Yoon h*.

Hey. Because you came from

a family that had nothing,

I thought you'd have

a sense of justice that I didn't.

But what are you really?

What was in this head of yours

that you'd do something so darn sneaky?

Hey.

Why

do you think

I did everything you said

without a complaint?

Because we were friends?

You know better than anyone

it's not that, you dirtbag.

So what?

Hey.

If we take away the fact

you're the heir to Keumhyung Group,

you're nothing at all.

You're stupid and have no guts.

All you have is greed.

If it hadn't been for your father,

I'd have made it so you could

never look me in the eye.

Oh Chi Hyun.

What are you doing here?

You were the best fighter

in all of Anhyun.

Why do you work for the likes of him?

Because of your outstanding friendship?

Aren't you in it for the money too?

Park Tae Jin.

Did that hurt?

I heard you couldn't breathe

if you got hit in that spot.

Did that hurt? Did it?

I'll k*ll you.

So,

do you feel better now that

you've spoken your mind after 20 years?

Hey.

What do you think that changes?

Nothing changes.

Does it change the fact

that you sold drugs

or that I'm filthy rich?

Where's the cash?

Where's the money you made

from selling my stuff?

Zero, six, one, seven.

What?

Zero, six, one, seven.

That's the first half of the password.

I don't know the other half. Why?

Because Park Jun Seo took it to the grave.

What are you on about?

Tell it to me straight.

That money!

No one can get it out.

No one can get it

unless Jun Seo comes back to life!

Do you get it?

Hey.

Darn you!

Is that true?

Is Jun Seo the only one

who knows the other half of the code?

This happened because you and Jun Seo

called each other friends

and tried to work as equals.

This is why hierarchy is important!

Why did you two morons

have to split that precious code?

You're laughing?

Jong Soo.

Who do you think

was superior?

Go and get the pills.

What?

You sold the stuff

without knowing what happened

when you took it, right?

You should taste whatever it is

you're selling.

Get it now!

What are you going to do, Jong Soo?

Film him taking the drug.

Film his eyes glaze over

and him crawling and groveling for more.

That will stop him

from pulling something like this again.

Get the stuff.

Darn it.

That goes for you too.

Hey. You should've reported to me first.

I pay you, so how dare you

wag your tail for someone else?

I'll let you taste what you made too.

Tae Jin.

You know,

I wouldn't be friends with you

if it weren't for my old man.

Punks who act out

because they have brains?

I hate them.

It was always,

"What did Tae Jin say?"

"Do as Tae Jin says."

"Learn from Tae Jin."

I was just sick of it.

But you know,

I did my best

to try to get on with you.

Knowing that someone smart like you

did my bidding

was pleasing sometimes.

But your crucial mistake was

You tried to become me.

There's only one Won Jong Soo

who's the son of Won Chang h*!

That's why you ended up

in this state today. Get it?

It's in the Students' Creed

that my father made too.

"Be someone who performs one's duty."

Have you forgotten?

Jong Soo.

Jong Soo.

Jong Soo!

What will happen now?

I'm going to wipe them all out.

Then what about me?

Shouldn't you also wipe me out

in order for you to be safe?

Give me your phone.

Give it here.

Sang Eui.

I'll give you 12 hours from now.

If you have any pictures or recordings,

get rid of them during that time

and go abroad.

I'll call you once things are sorted.

This isn't a threat.

This is the last chance I'm giving you.

Joo Song.

Why? Is something wrong?

You

Why?

Just get in.

How could you keep

something like that from me?

Can you not trust me?

Hey.

How is that a matter of trust?

If you were him

"Hey, I'm addicted to drugs."

"Will you help me?"

Would you say something like that?

I told you that I only found out

by pure chance.

But still.

Didn't you think that

you should've told me sooner

so that we could look for

a solution together?

What good is a friend

if you can't even tell me such things?

Then,

do you still get the urge

to take drugs now?

No.

Do you know

when you get those withdrawal symptoms

or whatever?

Do withdrawal symptoms

announce themselves before they come?

Is that so?

Hey, should I drive?

No, it's fine.

I'll let you know if I get tired.

Anyone home?

Hello?

Is no one home?

I don't think anyone is here.

Are you Ms. Yoon Sung Mi?

Yes.

Detective Jang Jae Gyeong?

Reporter Oh Yoon Jin?

I'm Heo Joo Song.

Oh, right.

I'm

No Gyu Min.

February 23,

licence plate 35A0233.

Could you tell me the driver

who was driving at the time?

It was No Gyu Min.

You're the taxi driver

who drove Jun Seo

to the construction site the last time.

Yes, that's me.

You're Chae Kyung Tae's mother, right?

I've told her about Jun Seo.

Did Jun Seo come here often?

Yes, well

I think he came here

about once every two months or so.

Gyu Min, how do you know

Kyung Tae and Jun Seo?

I was friends with Kyung Tae

to begin with.

Give me a lighter.

Here.

After Kyung Tae died like that,

I met Jun Seo afterward.

Where?

Jun Seo

He came to see me.

It must've been over ten years ago.

I don't know how he found me.

Ma'am.

Who

Are you

Kyung Tae's friend from back then?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- He said

- It's okay.

He should've stopped Kyung Tae's death.

- I'm sorry.

- But he said he wasn't able to.

He stood there and cried for a long time.

You must be hungry.

I'll go and get some stuff

- No.

- It's fine.

No, it's because I'm feeling hungry.

But it's fine.

When Jun Seo was

on his way to

the Pilo-dong construction site,

did he say anything else in the taxi?

No, he didn't say anything.

But

He told me to give this to you

when you guys came by.

What is

on here?

It was a long time ago,

but some guy came

and asked to watch

the CCTV like you, detective.

He asked if he could get a copy.

So, I told him to go ahead.

Jun Seo already knew

that Oh Chi Hyun and Jeong Yoon h*

had k*lled Lee Myung Guk.

That was why Sang Eui

Lee Myung Guk's corpse.

"Lee Myung Guk's corpse?"

Did you put it back in his home?

By yourself?

With No Gyu Min.

You moved Lee Myung Guk's corpse

with Jeong Sang Eui, didn't you?

You must've met Sang Eui.

But how did you know

they would move Lee Myung Guk's corpse

outside Youngryun Cold Storage?

Sang Eui said he heard what Jun Seo said.

So, I waited.

It was past 1 a.m.

(The day of Park Jun Seo's death)

He said that Jun Seo had died

at the construction site

and that I had to go back there.

I met Sang Eui there, and a little later,

Jeong Yoon h*'s taxi came out from

the alley where the mill was.

I saw him going into the alley

where Youngryun Cold Storage is.

When I got there,

Oh Chi Hyun and Jeong Yoon h*

came out with Lee Myung Guk's corpse.

So, that was why we tailed them.

Oh Chi Hyun was there too?

Yes.

What are you doing?

We'll search and seize

Youngryun Cold Storage.

Let's head inside.

(Youngryun Cold Storage)

(Stop: All visitors must check in

with the guard.)

Go all the way in,

and there will be a stairwell going down.

The passcode is 3-8-0-8.

This was a site where drugs were produced.

Please take extra caution.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

(KH Pharmaceutical)

Jong Soo.

Tae Jin is at Youngryun Cold Storage

for a search and seizure.

What?

Also,

they found Yoon h*'s body.

Father

Let's go see Father.

We can't get through

to Prosecutor Park Tae Jin's phone.

It must be because he's searching

Keumhyung Pharmaceutical.

What on earth are you talking about?

Contact PR

and have them block any news reports.

Tell PR to stop them

by all means possible.

Yes, sir.

Father.

(Keumhyung Group)

Have you heard?

Tae Jin is searching

and seizing my company.

Did something happen

between you two?

Tae Jin that jerk had been making

and selling drugs.

That lunatic was making drugs

at our company to sell them.

So?

- Did you already know?

- So?

So

I called Tae Jin in

and tried to teach him a lesson

by giving him some drugs.

My goodness

What is it?

What do you mean?

I guess Jun Seo never got to tell you.

I told him it would be a good idea

to tell Inspector Jang or Ms. Oh,

but Jun Seo delayed doing it.

He said he'd tell you

when the time was right.

(April, 2005)

- What is this?

- What?

What are you looking at?

Darn it.

Are you crazy?

It happened in a flash.

The boys

must've knocked over the oil burner

while beating Kyung Tae.

Oh Chi Hyun, pull him up.

Take your dirty hands off me.

Hey.

Kyung Tae, you should know your place.

- Wait.

- Let go!

- Let go!

- Wait.

Hey.

He's not breathing.

What?

Darn it. Let's go.

We have to get out!

Chi Hyun.

Let's go.

Darn it!

Where is it?

Help me, Jong Soo

Gosh.

Kyung Tae.

Kyung Tae

Kyung Tae, wake up.

Chae Kyung Tae! Wake up

No Kyung Tae.

Kyung Tae.

Kyung Tae.

Kyung Tae, no. Kyung Tae

(Won Jong Soo)

(Won Jong Soo)

Won Jong Soo had returned

for his name tag.

His name tag?

Yes.

Where is it right now?

I gave it to Jun Seo.

Why aren't you asking me the question?

I had the name tag,

and I witnessed the whole incident.

Why aren't you asking

why I didn't report it?

I thought you of all people would ask me.

You were forced to transfer because of it.

I've only set what we had.

Please go ahead and eat.

Okay. Thank you for the food.

Jae Gyeong.

When Jun Seo heard

the whole story from Gyu Min,

I bet he was heartbroken.

So it was never an accident to begin with.

It's late,

but we should still try everything we can.

A long time ago,

we visited Jun Seo's mother's family.

It's the first time

seeing the ocean together since then.

(Summer, 2005)

This looks like the right place.

Are we going the right way?

Jun Seo!

- Are you sure this is it?

- Yes.

- I don't think I need to eat it.

- Hey!

- Jun Seo!

- Jun Seo!

- What are you doing here alone?

- Exactly.

Why are you here?

Because we missed you.

You traveled so far.

Thank you.

Why did you leave without a word?

No reason.

Do you feel better

now that you're here?

What do you think?

You left

as soon as summer break started.

To be honest,

all of us felt a bit sad.

Jun Seo.

There's nothing friends can't share.

Are you going

to suffer through whatever it is alone?

Park Jun Seo.

What did you see

that day?

That day,

I heard the story for the first time

from Jun Seo.

Won Jong Soo, Park Tae Jin,

Oh Chi Hyun, and Jeong Yoon h*.

The four of them were stunned

and frozen standing in front

of Chae Kyung Tae's burning house.

I got angry after hearing the story

and tried to persuade him

that the incident must not be overlooked.

I told him we should report it

to the police together.

But even after summer break ended

and school resumed,

Jun Seo didn't go to the police.

So that was why you reported it.

I knew about it too.

That same night,

I heard everything too.

Kyung Tae was inside the burning house,

but no one thought to rescue him.

They just paced in front of it.

I wanted to give

the two of you the time to talk,

so I acted like I was going to sleep.

I was curious too.

I felt that something had happened

to Jun Seo,

but he wouldn't say anything to me either.

I'm sorry.

I heard everything

and watched you get forced to transfer,

but I could never find

the courage.

I became a reporter after that.

I tried to be more courageous

to make up for that time

and gave my best shots,

but I lost every time.

I know.

I'm not strong enough

to fight the unjust world.

I could turn a blind eye

and go on with my life.

But that didn't dilute the guilt

I felt for you and Jun Seo.

What about you?

Didn't you hear everything from your tent?

You went to sleep?

Yes.

(Yoo Kyung Hwan)

(Jang Jae Gyeong)

(Jang Jae Gyeong)

(Manpyeong Port)

Captain Jang.

It's so windy by the sea.

Where's Chang Soo?

I told him to get a motel room

and wait there.

Large groups tend to get noticed.

Did he say anything on the way?

No.

There was a lot

I wanted to ask but didn't.

I did some thinking on the way.

I think it's possible Chang Soo did

what he did in that given situation.

Think about it.

Sit behind the wheel.

Let's act it out.

Go on.

Look. I'll do this.

Darn it.

Here.

What would you do

if Ko Gi Sung kicked you like that?

First, I'd block the kicks

with my right arm.

Then

I'd try to pull over

to the side of the road.

Yes. You would.

And as we discussed before,

if he had kicked like that,

his body would've leaned to the left.

Kick me.

If that happened,

I wouldn't turn the wheel to the right.

If I leaned to the left, so would the car.

Look. Sit back up straight.

What if I kicked like this?

Plus, why would Chang Soo k*ll Ko Gi Sung?

Isn't there no motive?

I would hope so.

- Let's go inside and get ready.

- Okay.

Go on inside.

Bye.

Darn it.

Hey, I eat those when I drive.

- Do you?

- Yes.

- Do you want one?

- Yes.

It helps when you crave a coffee.

This place is quiet with few people.

Yes.

I wish I could move with Ye Eun

to a quiet place like this.

Thinking of going back to that mess

gives me a headache already.

I really don't get it.

What do you mean?

Jun Seo.

He knew he could die.

That's why he took out

an insurance policy in our names

and left the USB flash drive

with No Gyu Min.

They were all fast friends,

but they tried to k*ll Jun Seo

to keep their secret.

When you first told me

Jae Gyeong was addicted to drugs,

I blamed Jun Seo.

Think about it.

He got addicted

while looking into Jun Seo's death

while you got kidnapped

and then almost died.

But today's visit to Boryeong

made me realize

how lonely he must've felt.

He always seemed to be

surrounded by friends.

But it turned out

the only friends he had

were us three.

- Hi, Woo Sung.

- Where are you?

I'm on the way to Seoul. Why?

Things are crazy over here.

Prosecutors searched

a cold storage unit

in Pilo-dong owned by

Keumhyung Pharmaceutical

and their head office.

What? And?

There's talk that they found

a drug manufacturing lab

in the unit basement

and a large batch of drugs,

but Keumhyung Group is stopping

the media from reporting on it.

Their people

have been here for two hours

arguing with our boss.

Okay. Keep me updated.

Is something wrong?

Park Tae Jin is finally on the move.

You must've been very busy today.

Why are you here?

You must've been busier than me

trying to silence the press.

Park Tae Jin, you

This isn't the only way.

There are many other options.

You seem to have a misunderstanding.

I doubt that.

But I do understand you, sir.

Even if I were you,

since the mayor approved the project,

you'd have no reason

to keep a hound that bit its master.

That's where you're mistaken.

Chairman. I don't care.

Let me take Jong Soo.

- What, punk?

- You can't do that.

If you say Jong Soo went off the deep end,

the company will stay unscathed.

No.

(Mayor Joo In Sang)

Take it.

(Mayor Joo In Sang)

This is Chairman Won Chang h*.

Mr. Mayor

(Mayor Joo In Sang)

Mr. Mayor.

It's Anhyun prosecutor Park Tae Jin.

Prosecutor Park Tae Jin?

Why are you taking this call

I'm here to apprehend CEO Won Jong Soo.

Are you? Is this true?

Did Won Jong Soo make,

take, and sell drugs?

What do you say?

Give me Jong Soo

and your Pilo-dong project stays on track.

Shut your mouth, punk.

Hello?

Prosecutor Park?

What's this about?

- Prosecutor Park?

- Sir.

I'll ask you one last time.

Is it Jong Soo

or Keumhyung Group?

Father.

Hello?

Who says the project stays on track?

I never approved it, okay?

- Chairman.

- Father.

Father.

What

Jong Soo.

No.

What What are you doing?

How could you

You won't go away for long.

What is this, Father?

I'm your only son.

This isn't right, Father!

I'm your son, not him!

How could you abandon me?

Jong Soo.

Make sure he isn't hurt or taken ill.

Yes, of course.

Father.

What on earth

I'm sorry, Father.

- I won't do it again.

- Prosecutor Park.

What do you think you're doing?

- Father.

- I'm hanging up.

You're messing with the wrong person.

Do you know that?

Shut your mouth and listen up.

What? Are you out of your mind?

I sent two photos to your number.

Just 2 out of 38 very disgusting photos.

I sent one that would be

less embarrassing for others to see.

What

The licensing

for the bioindustrial complex

There's no problem with it.

And we never had this phone call.

Can I assume that to be true?

Yes.

That is true.

Take him away.

Let's go.

(Keumhyung Group)

Act naturally

if you meet Gong Jin Wook

in front of Manyang Ferry.

Yes, sir. Are we going to ride

on Manyang Ferry?

I don't know yet.

We could meet there

and move to another boat.

But can't we just arrest him

in front of Manyang Ferry?

Is it really necessary

to get on the boat with him?

What nonsense is he going on about now?

I told you earlier.

It's highly likely Gong Jin Wook is armed.

We won't provoke him

until you get on the boat with him.

If we fail to arrest him on land,

citizens might be in danger.

If he goes into

a store or someplace else

and takes a hostage,

it'd be a problem.

Fix that line.

Once we get on the boat

and go out to sea

See that seawall?

When we go beyond that seawall,

the coast guard

will apprehend the boat there.

Then, we'll arrest him on the boat.

That will be the safest.

You're right.

He won't have anywhere to run.

Be sure to wear your bulletproof vest.

Don't think of jumping in

even if you see an opportunity.

Yes, sir.

(Sergeant Oh Soo Hyun)

Hey, did you get anything?

That van where Ko Gi Sung died

Yes?

There was a dashcam inside the car.

I thought we couldn't restore the footage.

We couldn't restore the sound,

but we got some of the video back,

so I just sent you the file.

You saw it, didn't you?

Did you get anything?

Take a look at the file,

and you can make your call.

Oh, okay.

Where did you go without me?

Where's your g*n?

Here.

What are you doing?

Kim Chang Soo.

You're under arrest for the m*rder

of Ko Gi Sung.

Captain.

You have the right to an attorney.

You will have a chance to defend yourself.

Captain, why are you doing this?

You may apply to have the legality

of your arrest reviewed.

You may refuse to make a statement.

You

Why did you k*ll Ko Gi Sung?

Me?

Why would I k*ll Ko Gi Sung?

That day

The day CEO Yoon died

That wasn't the first time

you saw her, right?

I saw her for the first time.

And when would I ever meet CEO Yoon?

Seriously, why are you all doing this?

Watch.

See what you did.

Ko Gi Sung didn't attack

as you said in your statement.

In case the car door didn't open

when you entered the water,

you rolled down

the driver's seat window beforehand.

Come in.

We're in the middle

of a stakeout right now.

Please take him into the precinct

as quietly as possible.

Someone will come

from Anhyeon Police Station

to take the suspect.

So, what should I say when we meet

Gong Jin Wook?

Haven't you already thought of that?

Well,

should I say I'm a distributor

who used to deal drugs in Seoul

but has to stow away?

Sounds good.

Gong Jin Wook might try

to take you hostage.

So, if something happens on the boat,

drop back, no matter what.

The coast guard

and I will make the arrest.

Stay away from Gong Jin Wook

at all times.

Gosh, fine.

Just mind your own business.

- Can you hear me?

- Yes.

Say something.

Forsythia. Water parsley.

Idiot Jang Jae Gyeong.

Come in, over.

I can hear you fine.

Here.

Well, I can't take it with me.

You never know, so hang onto it.

Can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you fine.

(Manpyeong Port)

Did you find Manyang Ferry?

Not yet.

Hey. I found it.

(Manyang Ferry)

(Manyang Ferry)

Gong Jin Wook.

(Manyang Ferry)

Is this your first time?

What?

Smuggling out.

No wonder you're dressed so lightly.

It's super cold out at sea

at this time of the year.

I don't think it's something to boast.

It's better to have experience

than none at all.

Do you speak any Chinese?

No. Do you?

No.

It must have been troublesome to get here.

Are you two heading out

on Manyang Ferry today?

Who is it?

(Straw)

Yes.

- Yes?

- Your cover was blown.

They know the police sent someone.

They're going to leave Korea tonight,

so they'll use a different port.

Which one of you was sent here by Straw?

I see. Nice to meet you. Let's go.

Hurry, get in!

Darn it.

- Are you okay?

- Handcuffs.

- You startled me.

- Hurry.

(Manpyeong Port)

(Low battery)

(Sergeant Oh Soo Hyun)

- Yes, Captain.

- Soo Hyun.

I'm chasing the suspect's car

from Manpyeong Port.

Can you check what other ports are around?

Just a minute.

Hurry.

Ingok Port. There's the Ingok Port.

It's about 15km north from there.

"Ingok Port?"

(Ingok Port)

Call local patrol units for support.

Tell the coastal guard to head

Come with me.

Unit Chief Jeong, what are you doing?

Who are you calling a suspect? Come on.

That's just what you want to believe

Jun Seo would want.

That's not true, so shut your mouth.

No, you shut your mouth.

I'm going

to run this article no matter what.

The moment I get out, I'll k*ll you first!

- Park Tae Jin.

I'll do anything you ask,

- Jong Soo.

- Hey.

Jong Soo k*lled him.

He was set on k*lling Jun Seo.

Did you offer to help him?

Don't you know who I am?

He sponged off of his friends

and lived as a drug delivery man.

He had a pathetic life!

Wake up.

for Jun Seo.
