What are you doing?
The floor is heated.
It's cold.
A new chess set came in. How about a game?
Huh?
Sure! Let's go upstairs.
The floor is so warm.
When are you getting your cast off?
Next week.
Previously on Mixed-up Investigative Agency...
Jo Man Gi was quite impressive.
He was able to locate it just with two of the maps.
The problem was, the hidden gold was buried within Doksu Palace.
We were forced to bring another person in.
It was a construction company near the Doksu Palace grounds.
Your father's company name was Dong Myung Construction.
If so, that all makes sense, how you were at the Gold Building when you were a kid,
and the fact that your father had the gold bar.
So what I'm saying is, your father was working with Baek Min Chul and Jo Man Gi...
I'm sorry, but please leave now.
Lee Jae Seung again?
Who's Lee Jae Seung?
The man who first had the map.
Ah! The man in the graveyard!
If Lee Jae Seung had a son, we figured he might come by.
Case No. 14 - Bright passing light is like the darkness..
Think. This rundown old building is hard to maintain.
Let's knock it down and dig it up.
In 1980, when they were constructing Mapo Apartment, don't you know they struck gold?
That's not all!
There's the gold the Japanese collected, the Yamashita gold...!
This looks suspicious.
Give it.
That looks old. Let me look.
What would you know?
That's a treasure map, isn't it?
It was made between 1890 to 1910, a map of the public works system.
We call it the green series.
If you look at a book called Sa Woi Bi Sa, there's mention of King Kwangmu's gold.
It's about the twelve pots of gold that King Go Jong had hidden away somewhere.
You must have been doing this work for a very long time.
It's the same map. Nothing's altered or erased.
Do you know of someone named Pyeonbok?
We should have suspected from the start.
We should've known since he said he's been looking for gold all his life.
It was strange that he saw the map and knew of Go Jong's gold.
He's known about this gold for a long time.
The strangest thing is...
how can he be royalty with that face?
That's true.
Hard to believe, isn't it?
Did our country fall to ruin because its royalty turned out like that?
He's coming out!
He's just a wishy-washy grandpa.
Totally below average!
He looks like he'd lose even a simple chess wager.
He even cheats.
But our plan doesn't work best with cheap people...
He really doesn't feel any nervousness.
Aigoo...
But we still have to be careful.
The fact that we found out his plan is our last card.
We can only use it once, so do it good.
We just have to do as we practiced yesterday.
Park Mu Yeol! Your part is the most important.
You have to do a good job. Don't miss your timing.
Don't worry.
What is it?
What about lunch?
We ate. Please go ahead.
If you're coming out, you should've come earlier and brought food!
What did you come here for if it wasn't to bring me food?
First, I'll badmouth Lee Jae Seung.
It's nothing serious, but you know that man Lee Jae Seung?
The last keeper of Go Jong's map.
Looking into it, his situation was really awful.
He joined the pro-Japanese movement early,
and even received a title from the Japanese king!
He was so openly pro-Japan,
after liberation he was erased from the official census register,
and his property reclaimed.
He couldn't even defend himself.
Sure, he messed up so that's fine for him...
But how shamed must his family have been?
If that's his father, how must he feel?
Even then he couldn't get his act together.
He wasted away his remaining fortune, drinking, fighting...
He sure knew the police station well. Even his crimes are diverse!
Violence, destruction of property. He even vandalized Doksu Palace.
At first, he'll hold it in.
His relationships with women must've been a mess.
There's no counting how many mistresses he had.
Even in his old age, he kidnapped some poor young girl. And had a kid with her!
But will he be able to remain calm?
Crazy bastard.
Ah, there's a stone in my rice.
But he's a sly old guy, so Yong Su, you speak up next.
But he must've had a reason.
Ease in and take Lee Jae Seung's side.
If Lee Jae Seung were truly evil,
would Go Jong have given him his map and his dying request?
Something could have been covered up.
Like Heung Seon Daewon*. (*a historical politician)
He did it to hide something.
They say he was smart and good in his youth.
He traveled to China, and Japan.
And Go Jong didn't choose him because he was royal.
It was because he was smart.
If he's his son, he'll agree with Yong Su.
Then, Mu Yeol, you finish it off!
Smart? That's crap.
You're right, he was a crazy bastard.
Then why did you hide the fact that you're his son?!
You wanted to test me?
It would've been easier if you were honest from the start.
What?
Tell you about my father?
Did Miss Fortune-teller tell me about her father?
Why do I have to recite my family tree to you?
No, I'll take it.
Can you compare my father to Lee Jae Seung?
Lee Jae Seung is a relevant party.
Listen to you, referring to "Lee Jae Seung" so disrespectfully.
Go Jong sent Lee Jae Seung...
I mean, he sent your dear father his last letter.
Is it true?
If that's what you heard, then I guess so.
Did you happen to see it?
Maybe I did...
We'll take you to your fishing location.
Who's going fishing?
About Go Jong's last letter...
Move aside. Don't hover.
I said, move!
Please show us that letter just once.
Why would I?
Then sell it to us. How much will it take?
No.
Why not?
What did you call my father just then?
Crazy f***er?
I didn't say crazy f***er, I said bastard.
You called him that too, that he was a bastard.
It's different when I say it and when someone else does!
Then join us.
We'll give you a share of the gold.
No.
Why not?
How can I trust you?
You'd backstab me even for copper pieces.
He's talking about you.
You're dead.
Don't you want to know?
Whether the gold you've been searching for your whole life...
The gold your father hid...
is really there or not?
Stay there!
Take care of the rest!
What are you doing?
We were talking, and they just started running.
You were here yesterday, weren't you?
No, today's my first time here.
Yeah right. You even brought equipment.
This isn't mine.
An injured man, acting like this...
I'm sorry.
He can't take that!
Who's betraying whom now?
You went too far calling him a crazy bastard.
I got caught up in the acting.
What about you?
What about me?
You don't know anything about acting flow. You just recited your lines.
Then why is such an outstanding actor still playing a turtle?
It's a toad!
When did you arrive? I was worried since I couldn't get a hold of you.
Is something wrong? Were you ill?
I thought you were leaving the country.
What are you talking about?
Leaving the country?
What is it?
Here.
Huh?
That's mine.
Where did you find it?
It was on the ground.
You came to give that back?
No.
I came because I have something to say.
Ah.
Do we have water?
Sit, sit down, Eun Jae.
Sit.
Please sit.
How many times did I just say that?
It has to do with Yong Su's brother.
And my father.
I'm sorry.
Are you hungry?
Should we eat something?
Yeah, what do you want to eat?
Pig's feet? Chicken? Pizza? Jajangmyun*? (*black bean paste noodles)
Pig's feet.
Pig's feet?
- Then the number for that place... - The phone numbers...
- Here, they're on the refrigerator. - No, they're not.
Then where is it? Is it on top?
- The pig's-foot restaurant... - That place is fine.
The phone number's by the sink.
Then where are they? Are you sure?
Looks great!
We should have some soju.
I'll get it.
The pickled shrimp is good, right?
Yeah.
Is it from mineral water?
Their cabbage kimchi is good.
Try it, this restaurant is tasty.
When did you find out?
The day you were discharged from the hospital.
In the tunnel.
Is that why you couldn't sleep or eat?
What a nice fool you were.
Nice fool? She's a complete fool!
She was going to leave the country over that.
Her house is all covered in sheets.
It's not good to worry and decide things alone.
We should fix that soon.
She'll be better in the future. Don't do that again, okay?
Huh?
Then the day she was staring after Yong Su wasn't a love stare!
So it wasn't about the daddy's girl complex?
Yeah.
I was so worried about that!
Man, I was the one who couldn't sleep or eat.
Eun Jae, you dummy!
DUMMY!
Making her cry to the last.
What'd I do?
You shouldn't push things so far.
Why'd you have to push her to cry?
Cruel guy.
But... I...
Don't you know how scary you are when you glare?
Don't cry. Don't cry...
Don't cry...
Why did you make her cry?
Was our baby scared?
That soju's mine, don't drink it!
You don't even have the right to drink!
That's enough.
Cry your heart out. You'll feel better.
It's cold.
Are you up?
Put this on your eyes.
I've never seen anyone pass out from crying before.
You should eat.
I hope you're not expecting me to make porridge. I can't do that.
What about Yong Su and Mu Yeol?
They went to appeal to the expert.
Good luck.
Is that expression good?
It's good.
- I'll see you later. - Go check it out.
Why are you here again?
Who's that?
Have a drink.
What's with you?
I just wanted to chat about old times today.
I had an older brother.
Good-looking, intelligent...
Welcome!
This place has a lot of things, doesn't it?
- Yes. There are lots of items. - Welcome.
What about these?
Yes. Is this really...?
Ah, man.
Sergeant Jang!
What is it today?
Thank you.
Right, you were saying something?
What about your older brother?
I had an older brother who was good-looking and smart.
I was always compared to him, so sometimes I felt jealous.
But I was thankful for him, and...
Hello!
What is it?
I came to ask you to post these.
- What is it? - Here.
He sure looks like a bad guy.
Thank you.
Take care.
Hello Sergeant Jang! Congrats.
For what?
Your taekwondo award.
What about it?
Do you like winning without me around?
I bet you didn't compete because you thought you'd lose.
Sure, let's say that. Let me have a sip.
Buy it yourself.
Just a taste to clear the taste in my mouth.
Just swallow your saliva.
Come on, don't be stingy!
Hey!
Fine, fine.
Sergeant Jang. What's that?
It's a police wanted sign. He's a larceny suspect.
Where do I post these?
Oh yeah. What did you say about your older brother?
So I was saying, I had an older brother...
Excuse me!
Why are you here again?
I'm on duty right now, I'm busy!
It'll just be a second. I have something to ask.
Here, this guy. He's a thief, right?
I just told you this a minute ago.
You said the stolen materials were old vases, ancient documents, stuff like that.
You punk, are you dumb?
I told you all this just now.
Yes, right!
Buying and selling stolen goods is a crime, isn't it?
That's what I told you! Really, are you stupid?
Is that a felony?
Yes, it could be considered that...
It is a felony. I'm sure it must be.
With added punishment, you could even be imprisoned.
What are you making such a fuss over?
Someone's looking for you.
Work hard!
Punk! I'm going because I'm busy, but watch it.
- I'll be going. - Goodbye.
Bye, bye.
So what?
Without a word, bring it out. Quickly give me your hand...
Hand over the letter. Go Jong's last letter.
I endured the Korean War, the April 19 uprising,
the coup of 1961, the establishment of the republic.
I've survived through turbulent times.
So?
I lost it.
I wonder if Sergeant Jang's around.
Sergeant Jang!
I'm telling the truth.
How much will the reward be?
I'm serious!
7, 4...
But I remember what it said.
You're absolutely sure, right?
Of course.
Truly?
There's no way I'm wrong.
Why did you stop?
You forgot!
That's it.
What?
That's all.
Huh?
So that's it, the king just wrote that one character?
You lie!
Out!
Get out and call the police.
Call them.
Say you've got an illegal seller!
It must be true.
"hwa" = fire
Let's summarize everything so far.
In 1904, a servant made a mistake, and a huge fire broke out in Doksu Palace.
Afterward, reconstruction began.
At this time, Go Jong's 12 pots of gold, which were hidden somewhere in Doksu Palace...
It could've been money in preparation for fleeing the country, or independent funds,
but that's not important, so let's pass.
There were three relevant people at this time.
Go Jong. His internal officer in charge of warehouses Lee Yong Ik.
And the man in charge of Doksu Palace's restoration, Lee Jae Seung.
Go Jong made three maps and divided them among them.
Lee Yong Ik got the public works blueprint.
The topographical map went to Lee Jae Seung.
He kept the decoder map to himself.
Lee Yong Ik's map was buried with him, and Jo Man Gi found it.
Lee Jae Seung's passed through lots of hands and ended up with Baek Min Chul.
And Go Jong's map. This is the problem.
Go Jong died suddenly, and had no chance...
to reveal anything about the secret of the gold.
And so, he left a strange message for Lee Jae Seung.
Fire
Lee Jae Seung was unable to decipher the meaning of the message.
If you look at where he dug around the palace, you can tell.
In geomantic studies, fire indicates south.
The southernmost building is Kwangmyungmun Daehanmun.
Walking on foot, Joonghwamun is in the south.
Going by color, fire means red.
The reddest building is Joongmyungdang and Hamnyungjeon.
The columns are red.
Fire also refers to the Phoenix out of the four heavenly gods.
Of the Chinese characters, Phoenix is the "ye."
In Doksu Palace, looking at buildings with the "ye" character in its name, there are none.
Doksu Palace has had many fires in the past.
Geographically, it's believed to be susceptible to fire.
Many shamanistic attempts were made to block the fire's power.
The most prominent practice was "dumu."
There's a sculpture in front of Joonghwajeon that was made to block the "fire spirit."
The dumu was a mythical creature that supposedly ate fire.
Fire's just fire. Why is there a need to complicate it?
Tomorrow I'll meet with a specialist to ask about...
the relation of the 'fire' character and the buildings.
I'll find out about the shamanistic fire rituals.
Then I'll look into properties of the 'fire' Chinese character.
Fire, burning... right? Burn it.
How silly of you.
Think about it.
In his dying moments, do you think Go Jong had time for complicated thoughts?
He's the king.
Yeah, he was.
Isn't he a person too?
There's no reason for Lee Jae Seung not to have thought of something so simple.
Ancient folks were better than us at difficult, complicated thoughts.
If it means to burn it, what is he saying to burn?
The thing Lee Jae Seung had.
No way!
Hey! Come to your senses.
What's there to consider?
There's no reason for that to be true, but if it were,
then it makes sense that Go Jong only sent his last words to Lee Jae Seung.
Burn the thing Lee Jae Seung had.
But that's ridiculous to burn it.
It's too strange.
But if...
Truly just if it were true...
If that 'fire' message meant to burn the map,
I can understand how Lee Jae Seung wasn't able to figure out the message.
Burning the king's map is something he couldn't even imagine.
If...
Just if...
If...
Hey.
Come back! Don't get lost in the wrong place.
What are you thinking of?
Don't think of something so absurd.
If you burn it, all you have left are ashes!
Get it together!
Let go! No!
- No! Think it over! - Hyung, hurry!
- Don't! - What are you waiting for?
- No! - Stop moving around!
- No! - Hurry!
Eun Jae, you do it.
- No! Let go of me! - Quick!
- Eun Jae, quick, I can't hold on much longer. - Ms. Luxury, don't do it! Let go of me!
Come to your senses!
Why are you all so simple-minded?
What are you going to do if you burn it and you're wrong?
This is something you can't get back!
We made copies.
Then burn the copies. No, I won't let you.
We voted by majority.
I don't care about democracy.
I'm all for dictatorship. I love fascism!
Have you all stopped thinking?
It's 31 tonnes of gold! A priceless treasure map!
No!
No! You can't!
Why won't it burn?
No!
Do you know how valuable that is?
Mu Yeol, you idiot!
You're all crazy!
I knew it. I knew this would happen.
Why would fortune come to me?
I could never find anything on picnic treasure hunts.
I've never even won anything more than 500 won...
Mother!
I'll hate you all.
I said it wouldn't work!
I'll hate you till you die.
When I'm poor, I'll remember this.
I'll remember it all!
These guys, keeping the lights on all night.
Are they here or not?
How unusual.
The palace in heavy light.
The darkest place in Joongmyungjeon.
Though the plum blossom is no different from any other.
When the five petals bloom and fall.
You gain the fruits of labor.
This belongs to the king.
Joongmyungjeon?
Joongmyungjeon was built by Russian architect Sabatine and made of stone...
after 1901, when it burned in a fire.
At first it was used as a library.
In 1904 it was in the great fire.
In 1917, it was used as the capital's clubhouse.
After that, after disagreements arose, it was excluded from government property.
And in 2007, it was bought back.
It was private property until 2007?
It was part of the palace, left, and returned.
Are our 31 tonnes of gold inside?
You, there!
Where are you going?
There.
Says who?
Can't we go in?
Can't you read Korean?
But they're going in.
They're authorized.
Here.
They're in the middle of restoration.
They're receiving supervision on restoring it as a cultural asset.
What happens if they chance on the secret entrance during construction?
That's possible.
That can't happen!
That building next to it looks empty.
So?
We've worked so hard to come this far,
and almost got our gold stolen from us by our enemies.
Who cares?
Do you think our rivals have caught on?
The space between the buildings is only 30 cm.
So?
So what?
The building next door is unguarded.
That's illegal.
When doing something big, you must ignore the small.
That's what President Kim Young Sam said. It's for the greater good.
For her to recite sayings means the case is closed.
Go on.
Ah!
Did you come to sweep the floors? What are you wearing?
These are the only black clothes I have.
Then fold them up.
What about him?
He might as well announce his resident ID number.
Guys! Where are you?
Hurry up!
This is 30 cm?
What kind of half-assed calculation was that?
- How are we supposed to get across? - It's more like two meters.
- You try it. Your legs are long. - Look how far it is!
Can you do it?
Of course I can.
I'll go.
They're really fast.
This isn't the time to be admiring them.
What do we do?
Who is it?
Stop! Stay right there!
Stop!
What happened?
That wasn't you?
Hey!
Stop!
The number's 9592...
Stay still.
Why don't you have any facial hair?
Your skin doesn�t absorb it.
Yong Su, what's wrong with your skin?
Why is it like this?
Is it orangish?
Careful! Don't lose this.
You look like a grandma.
I'll have to call you grandma.
Hello.
How did you recognize us?
Have you wised up now?
What?
This?
Well, this is a relief.
What is?
Always going on about gold... It was troubling.
It's good that you've come to your senses even though it's late.
Arrogant kid!
It's better than being old and immature.
Why are you always playing with that?
It's a cube.
Hand it over.
You wouldn't be able to do this if you died.
Rascal...
You can do this one.
No thanks.
Forget it then.
Sometimes he seems like my older brother.
Hey!
Isn't it cold today?
Hurry up. What are you doing?
Hello.
How are you doing?
Heavy light in the palace, in the darkest place of Joongmyungjeon...
Hey.
Where'd In Chul go?
He's upstairs.
Someone should follow along.
You! Why are you in there? What's your name?
Park Mu Yeol.
Hand me those nuts and bolts.
Didn't you hear me?
I said, grab those nuts and bolts and come out.
Where did you come from? Don't you know what those are?
Uh, yes, of course I know.
It's lunchtime!
Let's go eat.
But who brought that guy in?
Punk.
What kind of basement looks like that?
Isn't it pretty cool?
There's no way to postpone the construction.
Do they work on Christmas?
They should spend time with their families, not work.
They'll rest for two days on Christmas and New Year's.
The problem is, they're starting on the basement on December 21.
The basement looks like a steam room.
Did they have steam rooms back then?
I can't tell from looking at these.
You mean this is proof...
the higher-ups are misusing funds for construction and materials, right?
Yes.
Those bastards.
Talking about cultural assets and artistic spirit.
I should've known.
I've got to grind them all up into powder, and make them pay.
But why are you bringing this to me?
I wanted to see Joongmyungjeon rebuilt properly.
I don't buy that for a minute.
I have a small motive, but it's not one meant to harm anyone.
Aren't you cold?
Did you think you'd win me over by coming by and waiting without notice?
Are you coming from a family clan meeting?
No, just passing by.
I heard you took your mother to the countryside.
Yes.
If she's still lucid, she's probably cursing me out a lot,
saying I ruined her son with my work.
- It's the truth. - And after I saved the kid.
Joongmyungjeon should be emptying out soon.
Really? I hear they burned the map.
Yoo Eun Jae and Kim Yong Su...
