Secret for a woman, is like her life.
Furthermore,
it brings out a special charm in a woman
and also protects her.
A kind of weapon.
Come here.
[ Queen ]
=To my fellow people.=
=Congressmen.=
Sunbaenim...
Do you know what does spade represent?
=Now we have to start over...=
Don't know, quickly show your card.
It represents a sword and authority.
So? Just hurry up and show your cards.
=And we must win...=
Queen of Spade. Means death.
Oh, shit.
Isn't it ironic that
the authoritative queen symbolises death?
That's why I said you should've folded earlier.
Now I don't have to worry about lunch money for a week.
=Now, we have to start over. Our welfare. =
=Hello, everyone.=
=I am actor Seong I Han.=
How come Professor Yeo isn't here yet?
He came.
But the Director asked him out for lunch, so he went out again.
Lunch.
Authority is good.
Even the Monster can be ordered around.
You seemed disappointed because he didn't ask you?
The boss is treating, surely there's a reason.
Better be ready to clear corpses.
A body was found
in a villa in Gapyeong.
We've broke the password on the victim's phone.
And her contacts are all famous people.
You name it. Politics. Economy. Entertainment. Sports.
And we've discovered a name that's really difficult to deal it.
After that,
the investigation was temporarily ceased.
Don't tell me it's the President?
Mr. President.
There's always a term for a President.
Re-election. 3rd, 4th, 5th time.
There's no rest for those who's in Office.
The Chief of National Police is now very terrified.
Because he's involved with these people.
Anyhow, it's a good opportunity.
For whom?
For who? Of course, for us.
When everyone was against you in the beginning because of your past,
Who was it that transferred you to the investigation unit?
It was me.
You're...
with the right people.
I didn't know I was here because of certain relationship.
Is that so?
Yun Mi Ra. 36 years old. Single.
She's the owner of a host club in Gangnam.
She's also involved with famous people in various fields.
Estimated time of death is around 8pm last Saturday.
And also,
there's a mark of strangling on the neck.
She fell backwards and hit the corner of the table.
And it caused her cervical fractures.
However she didn't die from it.
She may have been paralysed from the neck to toe.
And she was strangled under this circumstance.
This is the real cause of death.
The unsub discovered the unconscious Yun Mi Ra.
But instead of calling the police,
the unsub chose to kill.
He's most likely needed to hide his identity.
Like that person.
=We will soon write a new page in history.=
In the last three months, there're 63 calling records between them.
They seemed to have an affair for a long time.
Also,
it needs to be taken care of discreetly.
This person can easily fire the Chief of National Police.
What are we going to do if we failed?
We are inferior to begin with, aren't we?
[ The Secret of Authority ]
At such a beautiful place,
they should've enjoyed it. Why kill her?
Maybe they did enjoy it to begin with,
there were traces of semen on the victim.
Tears isn't the only thing men shouldn't shed.
These two were texting each other before she died, right?
Yes. So sad.
Read them for me.
Why must I always see you only on tv?
These are important times. Sorry.
We meet at our usual place?
I might not be able to make it.
No way. I'll wait for you.
Okay.
Are you on the way?
Yes, I'm on my way.
Also, the last message,
was sent by the manager of Yun Mi Ra's host club.
On Saturday night.
Where are you?
They were using formal language?
Yes.
But, he always present his image
so mannerly and neat.
Is there a need to be mannerly and neat in a love affair?
Once ignited, you can't escape its fire till it's burned out. And that's an affair.
His message replies were very short.
It must be burning out.
Not just investigation, you seem to know love very well.
All there's left is marriage.
What are you doing?
It's cold water.
Such a cold day, did she shower with cold water?
Fingerprint, footprint.
and also tire marks.
Why doesn't the elite clean the crime scene after the murder?
We'll know after matching the tyre marks.
Let's us go to Yeouido now.
You go ahead.
There's a place that I need to go.
What?
Where are you going?
Didn't Captain said we need to tread on Jeong Ui Seok's case lightly?
Is there any news to say that Jeong Ui Seok is the murderer?
Oh gosh, so stubborn!
Wow!
Ah, really lavish.
She has an old taste for her age.
Has the grandeur look.
Seems like she is obsessed and compulsive over that.
Wow!
The floor is like the mirror.
How often is it cleaned?
For this sort of standard,
she must have hired a maid.
Shaved moustache.
A man?
Where did he go?
At the very time when the owner is dead.
He even packed his belongings.
Seemed like he won't be coming back.
The tyre marks found at the villa,
was a match to Jeong Ui Seok's private car.
So I went to look over the CCTV
on the roads leading to the villa.
You can see Jeong Ui Seok here.
The estimated time of death was 8pm on Saturday.
He was at a service station near Gapyeong
at 7:18pm on Saturday.
After that at 8:51pm,
it's confirmed that he used the same road to go back to Seoul.
CCTV footage. Fingerprint and semen.
I think that once we've got the DNA checked,
the game will be over.
Adultery and homicide.
This is too common among famous politicians.
But...
There's something I don't understand.
The result are in for the DNA's we've collected from the crime scene.
They are all male.
All male?
The only female one is Yun Mi Ra's.
Yun Mi Ra and all the men?
A glass of water.
Yes.
Thank you.
You're thirsty all the time, aren't you?
Are you talking to me?
Alcoholism.
There isn't any medicine that could treat it.
And you can't get it treated in the country
because you're afraid of being exposed.
Do you know me?
I know your husband well.
Then you must be his new secretary?
No.
I will your home wrecker.
There's a reason to why flower bloom and wither.
Why should I...
say anything bad about my famous husband
to you?
Because...
You're the only
woman that would hate Congressman Jeong.
Good, then.
Are you asking if I knew of his affair?
Also,
I supposed that could considered to be an affair.
That person.
is really perfect.
However...
He has a weakness.
Do you know what it is?
He hates the smell of women,
even though he's a man.
I heard there's a place,
where he regularly meet a man for dates.
From don't know when,
he will rushed out
after he answered the phone.
Each time,
he pulled a sour face.
Looks like he's sick of his lover.
Do you know why
the flower is put in a vase?
It is to make the vase stand out.
I am that flower.
The flower that withered because of the vase.
That...
A guest is here to look for you.
I'm Jeong Ui Seok.
I am here to turn myself in.
I found that to keep silent
isn't the best way.
To be honest, I'm having a difficult time because of that woman.
She sent me a video
of what happened in the villa.
I know that she's an ambitious woman.
But I didn't expect her to be so extreme.
Seems like you helped Yun Mi Ra
a lot in her business.
Anyway...
When I arrived at the villa, she was already dead.
And I left without calling the police.
Please understand that.
You were asking for trouble.
If you reported it to the police at the time,
it would have easier to solve.
This thing called authority
makes secrets.
I will do my best to help with the investigation.
But...
If a word made it out to the public
I believe it's something we don't want.
It's so strange
that this person is noisier after death than when she's alive.
If you didn't do anything, you would be fine, wouldn't you?
Only if you didn't do anything.
Authority makes secrets.
More like secrets make authority.
I've sent request for DNA testing.
Once the result's in,
the game will be over.
The semen found in Yun Mi Ra
is not Jeong Ui Seok's.
It isn't possible for him to have sex with her.
Because he is gay.
Jeong Ui Seok didn't go there to see Yun Mi Ra,
but to meet the man that Yun Mi Ra introduced.
However this time it was the dead Yun Mi Ra that await him.
This is to say, that villa,
that place...
where all the men gathered,
and have sex together?
That's why there all were male DNA.
Jeong Ui Seok had his weakness seized by Yun Mi Ra.
Yun Mi Ra used his secret
as her authority.
[ Secret of Authority ]
[ The Authority of Secret ]
Can't believe it's still open.
Don't they know their boss is dead?
Hello.
What brought you here?
This is a women only bar.
I'm not here to drink, but to see your boss.
Is there anything the matter?
Do you work here?
I'm the manager here.
I don't need the manager. I need to see the boss.
I'm the boss.
But you just said you were the manager?
I'm the boss when the boss isn't around.
So when Miss Yun is not around,
you're the boss.
That's right.
But, may I ask what's the matter?
Do you know the villa?
Looks like you do.
So you're a real estate agent.
Not real estate.
but development consultant.
Anyway, our boss is thinking
about buying another villa in Gapyeong.
So you came because you couldn't contact her?
Was it like that?
Another?
There's another villa in Gapyeong?
Mmm...
If she cannot pay soon, what's going to happen?
That can't happen.
She can't pay?
What kind of situation is this?
Anyhow, it's got nothing to do with me. Please leave.
Or,
if it's urgent, you can report her missing.
It's up to you.
This kid can really act.
Where did you go wandering off to?
Where else? I'm doing my job.
Did the time match?
Yes, but.
Jeong Ui Seok was being set up.
He is gay.
What? Gay?
Yes.
No wonder I couldn't feel anything from him.
The semen and DNA didn't match either.
The semen owner is here.
What?
Gim Seon U. He's only boss on paper but the bar is under his name.
How come he has so much gambling debt?
If Yun Mi Ra dies, all her property becomes his.
And he also could repay his debt.
But this kid.
He obviously knew Yun Mi Ra is dead, but he acts like he doesn't.
He sure has lots of secret.
There's secret everywhere.
Let me check Gim Seon U's phone.
Check it well.
He has this kind of reaction, something is definitely wrong.
Yes.
The meter went up so fast, it's already $10.
The price of LPG keeps going up, this is nothing.
But who are you waiting for?
Never you mind. When the time comes, just step on the gas.
Last time, someone did the same thing to catch his wife.
-There're many in this area... - Follow that car.
Adultery?
Hurry!
#301's brother?
Is he her brother?
But that brother
does everything.
How so?
Let him wash the car, throw the garbage out.
There's one day when I brought express delivery to their house,
I saw him using a cleaning rag to mop the floor.
Who uses the rag nowadays?
The residents here are all wealthy.
They all use steam cleaner.
Rather than living together,
he's more like a slave.
See!
Miss, you're really smart.
I've already spent three days trying to open this.
But Ajussi.
When did that man leave?
That day was recycling day...
So it was Friday night
that I saw him drove out.
Friday night.
It's the day before Yun Mi Ra died.
This brat came so far that the taxi fare is so expensive.
Really don't know if I'm taking a cab, or I'm in a karaoke.
- Are you getting off? - Then am I staying here? Quick!
Here.
You still owe me 10 cents.
That kid was on tv.
No one followed you?
Looks like they know each other.
Really strange. Can't put my hands on it.
When did you lose contact with Yoon Mi Ra?
From Saturday onwards.
Then when did you last see her?
I saw her last at the club during daytime on Friday.
We even talked on the phone on Friday night.
Said something about resting at the villa.
Didn't she say if she was meeting anyone?
She never talked about anything about business
and her private life.
As you all know, our customers' secret are the most important thing for our business.
What did you do on Saturday?
Are you suspecting me?
I spent the all day at the club.
It was the weekend, and there were heaps of reservation booking. I was quite busy.
If you're really suspecting me,
you can check
on my phone GPS.
Almost done, just wait for a bit.
Walk Slowly.
This is nice.
This isn't an artist's car.
Wait.
What are you up to?
Hello.
I'm Seong I Han's fan.
Can I get an autograph?
Fine.
So handsome.
Your name?
Baek Do Sik.
Det. Baek Do Sik.
I'm a friend of Seon U.
Then do you know Yun Mi Ra?
Yes, I do.
How did you know her?
I just did.
What were you doing last Saturday?
He had film shooting all night Saturday till Sunday morning.
Is there a problem?
Ah, no. There's no problem.
If you're here because of the woman, you come at the right time.
Do you know how did that woman treat us?
That woman was crazy.
- She actually secretly recorded... - Shut up!
What video?
We should be checking Seong I Han's DNA, not Jeong Ui Seok's.
There must be a reason why she recorded the video.
Recently, she wanted him to change his entertainment agency.
But he rejected. It was a company where Yun Mi Ra held some stocks.
Then he received the video a few days after.
Gim Seon U and Yun Mi Ra, is it money related?
Yes. His debt is being repaid from Yun Mi Ra's account.
But she only paid for the interest, not the original debt.
Looks like everyone had their weakness seized by Yun Mi Ra.
Seong I Han's a secret video. The fact that Jeong Ui Han is gay.
And Gim Seon U's massive debt.
She's really scary.
She's the most conniving woman ever!
First on Seong I Han and Gim Seon Woo. Check their alibi for Saturday.
Yes.
But...
Where did Nam Ye Ri go?
Welcome!
Even if I die here, I've no regret!
Thank you. Nam Ye Ri. Thanks to you we finally get to enter this wonderful world.
-Three of you?
This way, please.
Let's go.
Wake up, Nam Ye Ri.
Come come come. Cheers!
Cherry tomato.
Cherry tomato!
That feels good.
I heard recently you can earn a lot in Internet shopping.
How much can you earn?
10 billion.
Ah, 10 billion.
10 billion?
That is just only sales.
What about me?
Do you want to be my sponsor?
How about living together?
If you want to.
We can do more than that. I can be your slave,
or your pet, anything you want.
I heard your boss
lives with someone else too.
Our boss?
We live in the same apartment
in Cheongdam-dong.
That's not living together.
That one is called 'study abroad'.
Study abroad. How do you say it?
It mean my boss takes a man home and make him into a star.
That one is called 'study abroad'.
Female boss.
Brings home to rear?
Yes, to rear.
Do you know the famous Seong I Han?
Seong I Han.
Actor Seong I Han. He's from here, just like me.
Don't know if I should say this.
Our manager Seon U hyung
and the actor Seong I Han
were 'classmate'.
But our boss only liked Seong I Han.
So Seon U hyung didn't end up 'studying abroad'.
So he end up as the manager.
Then,
who recently went 'study abroad'?
Ah! I remember.
Hyeon Il. There's a guy called Hyeon Il went there.
But I heard he got kicked out not long after.
The reason was funny.
He is handsome,
but talking, talking, he can't act at all.
You can leave and ask him to come.
What?
You can talk well, but your looks...
Did I hurt you?
I'm sorry.
Hey you. Night is still young.
Keep playing.
How can I?
She asked me a few question and handcuffed me.
She said to go with her tonight.
I think she likes this sort of things.
This is the tracker report on Gim Seon U's cellphone.
From Friday to Sunday,
he was always near Queen's Nest.
From Friday to Saturday, the fact that Seung Yi Han is at the movie set
was confirmed by the staff.
Really, nothing is going easy.
So where should we start?
Who are they?
I know her.
But who's he?
Can you please unlock this?
I lost the key.
And I really need to use the toilet.
Undercover...
Secret investigation.
No matter what secret investigation it is, you shouldn't drink so much.
Cover it. I can see everything.
There's an old saying, ignorance should be hidden and one's body should be shown.
This expos� is too sudden.
It's ready.
But...
Who is that person?
Friday, the night before Yoon Mi Ra died.
The guy that disappeared with Yun Mi Ra.
Ding! Dong! Ding! Correct!
You are a monster. Monster.
You killed Yun Mi Ra, isn't it?
What? No? I have no reason to kill her.
Oh come on.
Didn't you go to the villa with Yun Mi Ra on Friday?
No, it's not.
It was the manager.
On Friday night,
the manager called me.
Hello?
Hyun Il, pack your stuff and leave right now.
- Why? - Didn't you say you don't like it here?
I didn't think more of it.
Normally he's very nice to me.
And I don't want to stay there any longer.
So I just did what he asked.
Get in quick.
The manager gave me his phone.
He wanted me to stay at the club all day.
So I spent the whole weekend at the club.
I got a few calls from the boss.
But it wasn't the boss it was the manager.
Asked me if there's anything wrong.
We talked for a bit, then he hung up.
Was that Friday night?
Yes. From Friday night to Saturday.
He made about 5 to 6 calls.
So you didn't go to the villa?
He said there isn't a need to anymore.
And I was also happy.
At least I don't have to do the dirty stuff anymore.
It wasn't Yun Mi Ra that picked Hyeon Il up but Gim Seon U.
So where was Yoon Mi Ra
on Friday night?
When did you lose contact with Yun Mi Ra?
From Saturday onwards.
When did you last see her?
We talked on the phone on Friday night.
Said something about resting in the villa.
Whether Yun Mi Ra was at the villa
on Friday night, I need evidence.
We can use the ingredients of shower product as evidence.
Let me see, the components that were found on Yun Mi Ra...
Tocoperyl Acetate. Sorbic Acid. Carbolic Triglyceride.
It's massage oil.
But these components are very common, so it won't help.
Almost all massage oil have these components.
Massage oil.
But there's something strange.
She didn't wash the massage oil off at all.
Don't know why is that.
Let me tell you something stranger.
There's no massage oil in this villa at all.
That means there's no way she was dead here wearing her shower gown.
She fell backwards and hit the corner of the table.
Had cervical fractures,
although she didn't die from it,
she would have been paralysed from the neck down.
Gim Seon U.
You must be working really hard on Friday night.
The estimated time of death is Friday 8pm, isnt it?
Check it again.
Be more accurate.
[ Babies of the Queen ]
Aren't you...
You really look like a real estate agent.
A police disguise is innocent.
Come on. Seon U.
Don't lie anymore.
What were you doing on Friday night?
I was working.
Working?
Yes. work.
When did you kill Yun Mi Ra?
From Friday to Sunday,
I was at the club the whole time.
You can look at the phone record.
We are the ones that don't look at surface of things.
but the hidden ones.
I...
What do I have to hide?
Yun Mi Ra didn't die
at villa on Saturday.
But on Friday,
at a place where it's near the table.
And you moved those to the villa.
Trying to frame Jeong Ui Seok.
There was an appointment on Saturday
for Jeong Ui Seok to meet Yun Mi Ra and Pak Hyeon Il at the villa.
And you know that.
So all night
you massaged the dead Yun Mi Ra.
trying to delay the rigor mortis
to mess with the estimated time of death.
Really...
I don't understand a word you're saying.
I spent all my weekend at the club.
The ones at the club were your cellphone
and this guy.
Oh my...
I'm going to go crazy.
There's no choice.
I have evidence that proves I'm not the killer.
What's that?
I also have the video of Jeong Ui Seok.
Do you want to see it?
Was it the dead Yun Mi Ra that asked you to record it?
Boss said that
in our line of business,
our customers' secrets are very important.
So we secretly
called her the Queen,
as everyone was pinned down in front of her.
I Han too.
I Han that guy
is very pitiful.
I feel sorry just by looking at him.
He must have wanted to kill her.
Because I too feel the same way.
We were shooting all day
from Friday to Sunday.
Go and ask the staff member.
Why do you keep asking me to do that? Aren't you tired?
That's not the point.
Where did it go?
She said she wanted me to be more successful.
She had threatened me with the video a few days before.
And she wanted me to be more successful?
She's a complete nutcase.
If it's not me,
how you would be this rich and famous?
You would be chasing skirts
and your life would be just that.
I thought I've achieved my dream.
But I found that my everything
they were not mine at all.
They were the Queen's.
Change your agency.
I will make you more famous.
So.
Because you want me to more famous,
is that why you recorded the video?
What do you mean? What video?
A video.
What do you mean?
Quickly, tell me.
She pretended of not knowing anything.
So cunning.
You, really don't know?
Really, you don't know?
How dare you talk to me like this?
Bitch!
It wasn't Seon U's fault.
It was me that killed her.
Die!
Who do you think you are?
Die!
Die! Die! Die...
Mi Ra.
Yun Mi Ra!
Wake up!
It wasn't Seon U's fault.
It was me that implicated him.
Are you saying...
That she died there and then?
After dropping Hyeon Il off at the club,
I borrowed a friend's car.
And both of us moved the body.
Seon U.
I've got a shooting tonight.
Really?
Then you go first.
Just leave it to me.
We'll be fine, right?
Brat.
It'll be fine. Don't be afraid.
We definitely won't get caught.
Go! Quick!
Sorry.
Hey, look at me!
Don't fall under suspicion.
Alright?
Alright.
Go.
Why, of all people, you put the blame on Jeong Ui Seok?
Because he's a person with authority,
so I thought
he would take care of the matter well.
After seeing him came and left,
I came back.
So after you came back to the club,
you sent a text message to the dead Yun Mi Ra?
Was it like that?
The DNA found in Yun Mi Ra
is a match with Seong I Han's.
Now the game is over.
Not yet.
What?
We've got the video and the confession.
What are you saying?
We need her estimated time of death to be accurate.
8pm on Saturday was right.
So there's no possibility that she died before that?
Visceral temperature, liver temperature and rigor mortis
all of them show 8pm Saturday.
Her estimated time of death was fabricated.
It needs to 100% accurate.
Even science has error.
Although there's no 100%,
I believed it is so.
It's because I haven't seen anything that's more accurate than science.
Ok, I got it.
Science?
Yun Mi Ra.
She's a tough lady.
She even lived like that for a day.
Is that right?
Even though she was bleeding on the head,
and paralysed.
What are you talking about?
We thought he wouldn't call the police,
because he'll be finished once exposed.
So you let your guard down?
You who messed with the time of death.
How could you simply leave your handwriting around?
That,
was because I was instructed by that woman.
Do you think
I would send this kind of video to my friend?
Did she play dead when you massaged her?
Play dead?
How could a corpse play dead?
Science is really scary.
We found this on Yun Mi Ra's neck.
Now, what is this again?
Mark of a ring.
Not many people wear their ring on the index finger.
When you massaged her, did she play dead?
What shit are you talking about?
Do you know what you need to exchange secrets to authority?
Friend.
A trust that it wouldn't be exposed under any circumstances.
Those that share the secret needs this.
That way, you can convert secret to authority based on that trust.
Why did Yun Mi Ra need
to send the video
to Seong I Han and Jeong Ui Seok to threaten them?
Even with her silence, they will obey her.
You're a beginner.
To want that authority,
you don't have that right, because you're a fool.
When you massaged her, did she play dead?
And why is that?
Why is that so important?
I'm just curious.
The fear and fright that she felt before she died.
What is that feeling?
I'm asking you this question for the fourth time?
Did she play dead?
- Or.. - She talked.
Talked.
What did she say?
Why are you doing this to me?
Therefore...
[ The death of the Queen of Spade]
You all...
Why are you doing this to me?
What you all wanted.
Didn't I give it all?
But, why exactly?
I was so good
to you all.
I've also thought,
someday,
I'll be Queen.
So I took those video.
If I hold on to their secrets,
I know that someday I can be Queen.
Seon U.
Please save me!
Of course I can't.
Queen.
There can only be one.
This matter
I'll keep it
a secret.
This is what everybody wants.
The Queen.
That woman.
- Seon U. - To disappear forever.
Woman.
Secret
to some people is very sweet.
but to some it's painful.
Do you understand?
Do you think we obeyed you because we want to?
You too
will understand.
having secrets
is a very scary thing.
I remember now
In the beginning, everybody
wanted to perform in front of the Queen.
I did too.
Because the Queen
knew what we wanted.
from the beginning.
But...
I was getting scared.
The person that knows me well,
was just by my side.
Yes.
You must be really scared.
Like how everybody always treats me.
When bird have wings, they all hoped to leave the forest.
I was curious about the fear of playing dead.
Looks like I wouldn't know till I experienced it.
You could have see her yourself. Why wake people up?
I am a bit nervous to see the Queen myself.
You still have the fear?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Someone told me,
a person with secret is dangerous.
If you know something about me, please forget all of it.
I'm leaving.
In the homicide that occurred on the 25th in Gyeonggi Province,
Actor Seong I Han is involved.
Professor Yeo isn't here yet?
He's eating with the Director.
He always get to eat nice food.
Are you jealous?
I'm not jealous.
