Cultural assets and individuals in this program have been altered fictionally.
They have no real-life associations with this drama.
Boys, why don't we let Bumsang appraise your punches?
Unfortunately, I don't have much experience appraising thugs.
Thugs?
That's it, boys. Let's make mashed potatoes out of him today.
Get him! Get him!
Bumsang!
Bumsang, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Hey, you, Bleach Head.
Hey, Bleach Head!
Bleach Head? You fuzz have no manners.
Hey, run for it.
Bumsang, give us a moment. We'll be right back.
Hey, Mr. Kim, it's too hot for a chase. Just give up already.
And if I refuse?
Then we'll probably lose to you. But we're only gonna go after one guy.
That would be you, Bleach Head.
Boss, let's just turn ourselves in.
Boss, we've got nothing to lose. Let's give this fight a shot.
Dongpal, you're right.
Chief Kang, we're not going to get caught so easily.
Boys!
Yes, sir!
Crush ‘em!
Boss! Boss!
Stay safe! Boss...
What's up with the investigations team?
They should at least give us a call, telling us if they caught Mr. Kim or not.
What if they haven't found Bumsang yet and they're just wandering around?
Chohee, don't worry. Chief Kang went, so he'll save Bumsang for sure.
Yes, Officer Cho. What?
Bumsang was taken to the hospital?
Okay. All right, then we'll head over there right now. Okay. All right.
They found Bumsang?
Yeah, he was taken to the hospital.
Let's go to show Bumsang our sense of camaraderie.
Chohee!
How'd you know I was here?
Chohee ran off in such a hurry -
Thank god. I'm so relieved you're safe.
Did you think I was gonna die?
What do we do?
I'm so jealous.
A lovely Kodak moment, isn't it, Joohyun?
Hey, guys.
Chief! Where's everyone else?
They'll be here soon.
Let's leave before we interrupt them. Chief Kang, let's go.
Let's go! Let's go!
Maybe you should stop now. There are other patients here.
Does it hurt?
Of course it does.
You were really worried about me, weren't you?
Just a little. About this much?
Thanks, for even that much.
What about Gyoon and Chief Noh?
Excuse me.
Gyoon.
Sis.
Are you okay? Are you really okay?
You're back now, right?
Yeah.
You did well.
Chief.
I'm fine.
Chief, are you really okay?
I can leave tomorrow.
Oh, and Bumsang? Thanks for your help earlier.
No need to thank me. I'm just glad that you're safe.
I guess I got a little too ambitious for my age.
Gyoon, don't just sit there. Get them some refreshments.
It's fine. I'll step outside with Gyoon.
Why?
I believe Chohee has something to say to you.
Bro, what's going on?
That's my question. What happened today? Why were you there?
The thing is, I stole a portable hard drive full of Chairman Jang's illegal deals
and gave it to Chief Noh.
You robbed his house again?
Yeah, but Chief Noh said that stolen evidence can't be submitted in court
so we tried to set what turned out to be an unsuccessful trap.
You two are unbelievable. How could you be so reckless?
If only it had worked. I'm so ashamed.
Don't say that. We should be glad you're safe right now.
I guess.
So what are Sis and Uncle talking about?
I didn't want to believe Chairman Jang, but truthfully I felt some doubt.
So I felt I had to ask you once and for all.
What do you want to know?
Did you meet Dad around the time when he disappeared seven years ago?
I did.
What happened between you two?
I never imagined that would be the last time I'd see him.
‘I went intending to arrest him.'
All seven national treasures I stole are in Chairman Jang's hands. Arrest him.
Taesoo!
I'll take the stand.
I'll testify how I stole them and how Chairman Jang took them away.
So go after him.
How can I with only your testimony as evidence?
Besides, I came to arrest you, not him.
Chief Noh! How could you do this to me?
You were always the one who believed me.
I may be a thief, but you know as well as I do that I'm not lying.
Enough already. Let's go. I'll tell them you turned yourself in.
Chief Noh!
Think of your kids. Until when are you going to live like this?
Think of Chohee and Gyoon. Turn yourself in! Don't you want to go home?
I can't give up for their sake.
Taesoo!
I have to get those items back if I want to go back to my kids.
I need to return them to their rightful places. So don't arrest me now.
Taesoo.
I just ask that you don't arrest me today.
Taesoo! Taesoo!
Taesoo...
That was the first and last time I let him walk away.
I should have arrested him then.
Then he would still be alive now.
It was all my fault.
Why is that your fault? You did nothing wrong.
Chairman Jang has to pay for this. He's the one who had Dad murdered.
This time I'll arrest him myself.
No. I'll get him.
Chohee.
I'm going to do it, Chief.
I'll be busy starting tomorrow, gathering evidence against him.
So don't be stingy with the traveling expenses.
I'll think about it, Chohee.
By the way, Chohee, I recorded my conversation with Chairman Jang.
Recorded? What? You mean like a hidden camera?
That's nearly enough evidence. Chief, where is the recording?
Check for a necktie clip somewhere among my clothes.
Chief, it's not here.
That can't be.
The vase, the vase!
What in the world does Bumsang Kim have against me?
It's bad enough I lost the “Bihaedangjib” to him, but he had to show up right then?
That's what I'm saying.
How did he know to come there?
This is your fault. If you had taken care of him earlier this wouldn't have happened.
I'm sorry, Boss.
Sorry? You think that solves anything?
Look at what happened to me because of you.
Boss, this isn't the time to be whining.
We have to get far away before Dongpal tells the fuzz everything.
You're right. We should.
But I'm more scared of Chairman Jang.
What the? Who are you guys?
Mr. Kim turned out to be completely useless.
I thought maybe he could handle something that didn't require brains.
We captured him like you ordered. What do we do with him?
Find out through him who handled Taesoo Heo. Then get rid of the whole lot.
Yes, sir.
What are the cops up to?
I'm afraid they plan to launch an official investigation.
I'm sorry, sir.
What a bother.
Let Secretary Oh handle things for a while, and you lay low.
And just in case, tell my team of attorneys to prepare for all possible scenarios.
Yes, sir. Oh, and Iwazaki is flying in tomorrow. What shall I do?
With things looking not so good, should I cancel the appointment?
We can't do that to Iwazaki. Continue that as is.
Bro, I'm heading to bed.
Okay.
You're turning yourself in tomorrow?
Yeah.
I'll leave you two alone then.
I looked into the matter.
Since no one reported the thefts and the nature of the crimes wasn't bad
he'll probably just be placed on probation. Don't worry about it.
I'm not worried. In fact, I feel at peace now.
Gyoon probably feels the same.
Yeah. You have to be strong for Gyoon's sake.
Want some tea?
No, I'm fine. I can't intrude on your sibling time. I'll be going then.
You know what? I'm going to tell Chief Kang tomorrow.
Tell him what?
That I'm sorry but I can't accept his feelings.
Not because of everything going on, but because there's someone I like.
So I can't accept his feelings. I'm going to tell him that.
Go on then.
Gyoon might come out. Go home.
Can't sleep?
Bro left?
What are you doing?
Dad didn't carry around much cash. Twelve bucks. How sad is that?
That's seriously sad.
Why'd he carry this around when he didn't even smoke?
Sis, this is so interesting.
Look here, at Dad's handwriting. It looks just like mine.
It does.
It's practically the same.
I know I take after him a lot, but similar handwriting, too?
I know.
Gyoon, I'm not going with you tomorrow.
Okay.
When you come back, let's be happy, okay?
You and me both.
Okay.
We'll be together again soon.
We can charge Chairman Jang with the following crimes.
The trafficking, possession and concealment of stolen goods.
The murder of Taesoo Heo. The attempted murder of Chief Noh.
He'll be locked up even way past his death.
We took the information from his hard drive, and after retracing his steps,
we found some evidence supporting his purchase of stolen goods.
His defense team will flat out deny all charges and try to hide the evidence.
So we need to hurry.
I will catch Mr. Kim and Yonggu Lee with my bare hands
for their offense against Chief Noh and for staining our team's honor.
Your sporadic outbursts can be seen as signs of illness.
Did I exaggerate a little too much?
We're lacking in manpower, so let's not divide into teams and all work together.
We'll end the meeting here.
Chief.
Can I have a moment?
Drink up.
Okay.
Um, Chief? I...
I know what it is you want to say to me.
I saw you and Bumsang together in the hospital yesterday.
I regret that I didn't accept your feelings when I had the chance.
I really hope everything works out well between you two. I really do.
Thank you.
I'll be going then.
It's so hot. I'm being steamed here.
The investigations team should do stakeouts. Why are they making us do it?
Don't you agree, Chief?
Who cares who's doing it? As long as we get something out of it.
Yeah, yeah. I shouldn't have expected any sympathy from you.
Why did Sangho suddenly go to a training seminar? When's he coming back?
It'll be a while. I'll stick with you until he comes back, so don't worry.
You will? There's no need.
I'm deeply honored that you're here with me today.
I can handle this on my own. I'll fly solo.
Isn't that Iwazaki?
He's the Japanese dude who was with Chairman Jang last time!
Why is he here again?
I can smell the stink from here.
Welcome, Chairman Iwazaki.
“Good afternoon, Chairman Jang.”
Please have a seat.
Forgive me for asking you to come all the way to my home.
He says it's fine.
I imagine you were very upset because of the disgraceful affair last time.
I thought maybe you refused my gift because it was not up to your standards
so I prepared something more valuable. Show him.
Yes, sir.
The “Geumdongdae” incense burner. One of my most cherished items.
Do you like it?
I love it. Thank you so much.
Considering the relationship between our companies, this gift is not enough.
Chairman Jang, may I ask an impertinent favor of you?
If it's for you, I will do everything in my power to help you.
Recently, I bought a lot of Goryeo celadon.
I need to take it to Japan but Korea's Cultural Properties Protection Act is...
Ah, there's nothing to worry about. I happen to know a good way to help you.
God, this is frustrating. I told you I don't even know what Taesoo Heo looks like.
How can you falsely accuse me of killing him when I don't even know him?
What? I'm gonna kick your...
Think you'll get away with spewing lies? Gyoon already told us everything.
Mr. Kim received orders from Chairman Jang, and those orders passed onto you.
You gonna keep lying like this?
Hey, Dongpal.
You were part of the Makddae Family that managed the Hwangjae Nightclub
seven years ago?
Take a good look at this. Taesoo Heo had this on him.
See this here? Hwangjae Nightclub. You saw Heo there, didn't you?
Man, I really don't know him.
What does Heo coming to the nightclub have to do with me?
Stop making wild guesses and do the interrogation properly, will you?
Come here. Not coming? Get over here.
Leave the room.
We need to teach bastards like him a lesson.
You'll get into trouble. The world doesn't work like that anymore. Calm down.
I'm going to get some water.
- Hey, Chohee. - Hello.
Hey. You're here to see Gyoon?
I just met him. It's hot. Here you go.
Dongpal Kim is being uncooperative?
Tell me about it. He's a tough nut to crack. Keeps denying everything!
Oh, that's refreshing.
This is...
Truthfully, it's a business card that was found on your father.
We held onto it because we thought it would help with the investigation.
Sorry we didn't tell you earlier, Chohee.
Don't be. You don't have to tell me such things.
Excuse me, but I have to get going. Goodbye.
Chohee.
What's with her?
Dunno.
[Hwangjae Nightclub Mister Oh]
So we have writing on thin silk paper.
Yes. It's so contaminated we have to clean it, but we can't use warm water.
In a case like this, the heart of the piece can be ruined if not done with care.
If possible, the lining paper should be kept while restoring.
It should be easy if you layer repeatedly using neutral paper
while watching the progress with each step.
Nothing's difficult for you, is it?
Glad to be of help. Is that all?
Sir!
Yes?
If you're free this evening, I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee.
What? Well...
[Chohee Heo]
I'm sorry, but it seems my girlfriend is already checking up on me.
If I'm caught having coffee, I won't escape unscathed.
You know how Chohee is.
Yeah?
A nightclub? Why do you want to go there?
Mister Oh?
Yes.
We heard he worked here seven years ago.
I'm not sure.
Manager Park! Did a waiter named Mister Oh work here seven years ago?
Mister Oh?
You're talking about Changsu. Changsu Oh.
Changsu Oh?
Yes, but he's not here right now. He went on vacation starting yesterday.
When will he be back?
I have no idea.
What do you mean? How can you not know?
Truth is, the day before yesterday some men came looking for him.
He left with them after exchanging words. Then he went on vacation yesterday.
Why does everyone like Chohee?
You startled me! Chief!
Where's Chief Noh?
What? He'll be in soon.
Yeah?
I don't have time to wait. Could you give this to Chief Noh?
What is it?
The statement with Chairman Jang's illegal deals.
Most were done under someone else's name, so it was hard to sort through.
Chief, why are you so anxious to arrest Chairman Jang?
What?
Is it because you want to help Chohee?
I see. I knew it.
That's the reason why our entire team wants to get him.
That's the biggest reason, but I have another reason.
I made a promise with my daughter.
I'll arrest wrongdoers and will never lock up the innocent.
But it isn't easy keeping that simple promise.
If only we had Chief Noh's necktie clip, things would be easier. What a loss.
A necktie clip?
Yeah. It had a camera built into it. If we had that...
Chief! You're wearing ties more and more these days.
Does it look bad?
Then that was a hidden camera?
Dongpal Kim isn't spilling anything.
Mr. Nah, was Iwazaki carrying anything when he left Chairman Jang's house?
No, I don't think so.
He was all smiles and in a great mood when he was leaving.
There's definitely something going on between those two.
Mr. Nah, please watch Iwazaki a bit longer.
And let's wait a bit on Dongpal.
Hey, Chohee.
[Chief, we have to look for Changsu Oh from the Hwangjae Nightclub.]
Changsu Oh?
Boss, where do you think they're taking us?
I think Chairman Jang wants to knock us off.
Knock us off? Knock?
No, no. I can't die. I can't die!
I can't die now. I wanna live.
It's okay, Yonggu. Get a grip.
We'll figure something out.
You're Changsu Oh, the guy who took care of Taesoo Heo, right?
We're all in the same boat here, so why don't you stop staring daggers?
Let's join forces.
Officer Cho.
It seems Chohee hit a mark.
What?
This Changsu Oh character is extremely suspicious.
Not only did he work alongside Dongpal in the Makddae Family
they were also buddies in the army and in prison.
Is that so?
Eat.
Eat up, punk.
This will be the last meal of noodles you'll have if you go to prison for murder.
What are you talking about?
You know Changsu, right? Your gang buddy.
He told us that you were the one who took care of Taesoo Heo.
W-w-what?
Changsu Oh said that? I can't believe this.
You know that Changsu's not exactly smart but he's not the type to lie.
So tell me every detail on who, what, when, where, why and how you did it.
I really didn't do it!
Then spill it. If it's not you, who?
It's not me.
Was it Mr. Kim?
Yes or no?
It wasn't me and it wasn't my boss either.
It was Changsu Oh who did it!
He did it?
Drag them out.
Yes, sir.
Where did they go?
Are they gone?
They're gone.
Where are we?
I saw a small amusement park while running. It seems we're on Wolmi Island.
Wolmi Island? We were in there for only an hour? I thought we traveled far.
You're quite useful.
I thought our gang only had idiots like him, but we have someone like you.
How about working for me?
Let's go our separate ways.
Jeez, talk about lack of manners. He ignored me.
Hey, why are you ignoring Boss, you jerk! Right, Boss?
Isn't she back from the investigations team yet?
Please send someone to work with me. I'm dying here without Sangho.
I'll work on it, so be patient.
Bumsang, when did you get here?
You're back from a stakeout?
I'm dying here trying to tail Iwazaki or whatever his name is.
Iwazaki is that guy from the Robin Hood incident.
Yeah, I'm tailing him because him and Chairman Jang are up to something.
But all they do is golf or eat out or party with some ladies.
But he went to a pottery exhibition today, didn't he?
Yeah, yeah. Thanks to that I feel a little more learned myself.
I'll be going then. Good day.
Yeah, yeah.
Mr. Nah.
Where's Joohyun every day?
Where is it?
Lady, what are you looking for? There's nothing worth money around here.
The thing is... Just something.
You're in uniform - you're students - Why aren't you in school?
Listen to her. She's asking why we're not in school.
It seems you're a little confused. Who are you to nag us?
No, I'm not nagging you.
We have stuff to do here. Find what you're looking for and scram!
Think I'd leave just ‘cause you told me to?
Where is that necktie clip?
There you are.
Were you waiting for me?
Who else would I wait for?
Gyoon is being moved next week, so I spent some time with him.
How's he doing?
Gyoon? He gained weight.
That's not what I was asking.
Let's go eat.
Wait up. In the cafeteria?
Yeah.
There is other food in this world besides food in the cafeteria.
And who goes on a date to the cafeteria?
We're going on a date right now?
Of course. Let's go out. I'll buy you something good.
Sorry, but I'm joining the stakeout in front of Changsu Oh's house tonight.
Stakeout?
Yeah.
What's with the sudden stakeout?
Let's just eat here today and eat well next time, okay?
Just for today.
All right. Hey, are you sulking again?
No, I'm not.
Looks like you are.
Hey, isn't that Chairman Jang?
Don't let them say otherwise. And don't call them either.
Well, look who it is. It's been a while.
Yes, it has, sir. Have you been well?
Of course. What are you doing here at the CHA?
Advisory member. I forgot. You're lasting longer than I expected.
Thanks to you. What brings a busy person like you to the CHA?
You really don't know? I'm disappointed.
Don't the CHA employees know
I was appointed the chief director of the Monuments Fund?
I'm here to see the director of the CHA before I'm inaugurated into office.
Chairman Jang, do you think you deserve to hold that position?
Hey!
I happen to think that no one loves cultural assets as much as I do.
Of course you do. Perhaps that's why you've forgotten how to value human life.
What are you talking about?
Drop the act. You killed my father.
Chohee.
Do you understand what she's talking about?
Chairman Jang, you killed my father.
You're quite impertinent. Or perhaps you're just fearless?
Wait and see. I'll lock you up myself.
I'll be waiting. But you should watch your mouth and your back first.
They think they stand a chance against me. What are the police up to?
Nothing out of the ordinary. We've managed to plug up the leaks.
And Iwazaki?
Manager Kang is taking care of it.
The exhibition was officially held today and everything's in order.
Professor Gong even wrote a dedicatory letter for us.
Make sure no word of this gets out.
Yes, sir.
Maybe we're wasting our time here.
If Chairman Jang's men kidnapped Changsu Oh, he's probably a dead man.
Dead or alive, it is our officer's code to continue until we know for sure.
I've followed that code this far. You know that.
Sure, like the time you went off to meet Ms. Kim...
Jinguk, what is that?
Isn't that Chohee?
Oh, my poor heart.
Sorry I'm late.
No need for you to come. You have a too strong sense of responsibility.
Aren't you two sleepy? Get some shuteye. I'll stand guard.
No, it's okay. Seriously...
Well, if you insist.
Let's take turns. Chohee, thanks.
Sure.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Are you serious?
If it's proven that Chairman Jang was behind all that, it'll be a major headline.
Don't say a word until it is proven. It'll cause big trouble if it leaks out.
All right. Chohee must be in a lot of pain. Thinking about her dad and all.
Yeah.
By the way, take this.
What is it?
Jeez. Yongcheol wrote the review of some exhibition, and he bragged so much.
He left a copy for you, too.
He did?
This is...
Why? Did you go to this exhibition?
Not me, but the people at the CHA.
Something's off.
Huh?
Hey, I have to go check this out. Sorry, but I have to go.
Sure.
What was that about?
The exhibition is over?
Yes. It was a special exhibition held only yesterday.
Why only one day?
I heard it's because the next exhibition is scheduled to be in Japan.
Could I take a look at the pottery?
Didn't you see them on your way in? They were being loaded into a truck.
[Ohseong Distributive Services]
Ohseong Distributive Services?
This is the pamphlet of the exhibition Iwazaki attended.
You can tell that it's all a pretense.
A pretense?
On the outside, they look like regular pottery, but see the brush strokes?
I'm sure they were covered with mud and disguised as pottery.
Why would someone do this?
To smuggle them abroad.
As you know well, cultural assets are forbidden by law to leave the country.
With one exception. Unless the purpose is to be exhibited.
So Chairman Jang set up this exhibition to help Iwazaki smuggle things out.
If not, why hold a special exhibition for just a day and invite no one?
They're planning to legally carry things out under the pretense of this exhibition.
The truck used belonged to Ohseong Distributive Services. Start there.
No, we'll head straight to the airport.
The airport?
Iwazaki's flight is set to leave today.
Then everyone's headed to the airport?
Oh, okay.
Got it.
Then shouldn't we go back them up?
Right?
Since you have to catch Changsu Oh, stay here. I'll go to the airport.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Be careful.
I will. Good luck.
It seems Chairman Jang had his guts botoxed. He started some major stuff.
That man isn't afraid of anything.
Man, where is Changsu Oh? There are no signs of him anywhere.
I'm sorry.
Changsu Oh?
Okay, I understand. Yes...
Which airport?
I'm not sure, but it seems Iwazaki headed towards Haneda Airport in Japan.
Then we should head to Kimpo Airport.
Officer Cho, I'm tailing Changsu Oh right now. Opposite that house. Hurry. Okay...
Hey, Changsu Oh! Stop right there!
Where did he go?
I'm sure he came this way.
Isn't that him?
It is!
Mister Oh of Hwangjae Nightclub. Long time no see.
Over here. Come on. Over here.
Changsu, it's me. Sangcheol. Don't recognize me?
Why are you putting on gloves in this heat?
Who are you?
Who do you think? We're cops here to arrest you.
Chohee, stay back.
Stay back.
Changsu, let's go somewhere cool.
Screw you.
“Screw you?” You little...
Hey, look at this.
Chief Kang. Over there!
[Ohseong Distributive Services]
Over there...
Police. We ask for your cooperation.
Let's take a look inside the truck.
Mr. Nah, some water, please.
Water?
Wow, we got him!
What are you doing here? Scram! This is one too many times. Scram!
Get out!
I told you to leave. Why are you still here?
Sir, I'm not here to pick up scraps. I really need to find something.
Seriously, lady. You've been coming here for days now. Leave already!
Sir, just once. Let me look just a little more, please?
Excuse me.
Hello? What? You caught Changsu Oh?
Okay, I'll be right in. Okay.
Darn it...
I wanted to show Chief Kang that I could be of help.
Things never work out for me.
Are you leaving or not?
I am, I'm leaving.
Then hurry up and leave.
That hurt...
Huh?
[Inaugural Ceremony for the new Chief Director of the Monuments Fund]
- Chief. - Yes?
We're ready.
All right. Let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to listen to Chief Director Jang's inaugural speech.
Sir, please take the stand.
I'm Ohseong Jang.
First, I want to thank everyone for allowing me
to take this honored and esteemed position.
Let me ask you. What is a cultural asset?
It connects our nation's past, present and future.
It's an inheritance that holds a great emotional value for us.
Therefore, we all have the responsibility and right
to share, cherish, protect and love this valuable cultural inheritance.
Cultural assets are sacred items that cannot
and should not be possessed by a sole owner.
The “Geumdongdae” incense burner and Duryang Kim's “Sansu” painting?
Is it impossible? I think the files are worth those two items. Are you going to refuse?
I couldn't. Fine, I'll give them to you.
But keep this in mind.
You'll regret touching my items someday.
Your items?
Cultural assets belong to the country, no? Moreover, these are national treasures.
Now you sound like the regulations team chief. National treasures or stolen goods.
I paid good money for them, so they belong to me.
Chairman Ohseong Jang,
you're under arrest for attempting to smuggle abroad cultural assets.
W-what? Smuggle abroad? What nonsense is this?
Don't even think about denying everything.
We not only found all the items, but Iwazaki confessed at the airport.
You guys planned this?
I warned you last time that you'd better to brace yourself.
