(Episode 23)
You're saying there will be a lead among them, right?
(Tak Jung Hwan)
Director of Prosecutors Tak Jung Hwan?
You lived in Incheon when you were young?
Right.
What a coincidence. I used to work as a prosecutor in Incheon.
I have great memories of that place.
He said he used to be a detective...
and that he worked at Incheon Police Station.
That means...
Do you know Tak Jung Hwan, the Director of Prosecutors?
Tak who?
Do you know someone called Gong Soo Chang?
How do you know him?
I owe a big favor to his father.
He clearly told me that he knew who you were.
He also said he owed your father a favor.
My father?
I used to live in my father's truck and go to school from there.
He couldn't have afforded to help someone else then.
If...
If the director is the real owner of the necklace...
But no one had seen him at the crime scene.
Does that mean he lost the necklace before that?
In that case,
we should meet him first.
Are you sure I can return to my real body?
- Yes. - You promised.
You told me you'd haunt me forever if you can't go back.
It'd have been fun for two men to date me at the same time.
I didn't know anything and simply thought I was dating one person.
How will I give this to her now?
Early this morning, a woman in her 20s was found dead near Han River.
It was reported that she went missing last night.
She was killed in a hit-and-run accident last night...
while she was going home after working at a convenience store.
The media is going wild.
We're in charge of this case. We need to catch the culprit.
- Hurry up. - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Aren't you going?
Look at the state he's in.
Sir, I'll just go with Dokgo today.
Okay. Dong Tak isn't here anyway. You can go with him today.
Yes, sir.
A man's DNA was discovered under the victim's nail.
What?
Darn it.
My gosh.
- Sir. - What?
Goodness.
My gosh.
Help me.
The point is that the victim was alive until then.
What?
What if he took the victim to a hospital?
Sadly, there's a high possibility that she would have lived.
What a jerk.
First off, go through all of the security footages around there.
And find anyone with previous hit-and-run charges.
Also,
- check those with parking tickets. - Yes, sir.
Detective Park, can you begin by checking recent car accidents?
Okay.
Can you restore the security footage you erased before?
Detective Park.
That has something to do with that accident this morning, right?
I'm right.
What are you going to do?
You're the one who erased it. I have nothing to do with this.
Don't try to blame this on me.
(Traffic Storage Room)
Please. Please pick up.
Yes?
- This is Park Dong Ki of... - Hey.
You can't just call me anytime you want, understand?
Jo Min Seok.
You approached me on purpose to make use of me, didn't you?
You hit and killed a person and then wanted to cover it up.
Detective Park, you're so talkative.
We shouldn't have become friends if I knew you'd be like this.
- What? - You already took...
the money I gave you with that talkative mouth of yours.
So please keep it shut if you took the money.
Darn him.
Hello? You jerk.
My gosh.
(Traffic Storage Room)
It looks like one of my boys got himself in trouble.
Yes, director. Don't worry.
I will take care of that.
Find out who went out to investigate the case that came over...
from Traffic Accident Team last night.
So what are you trying to say?
I will take care of this no matter what.
If I can't do it in the end, I'll resign.
If you could turn a blind eye just this once...
There's nothing much you can do even if I turn a blind eye to this.
Please leave.
Commissioner No.
How can you exploit your own?
- What are you doing? - Jo Min Seok.
You introduced him to me on purpose, right?
I did.
If you have a helping hand, you would feel more confident.
Nothing is more important for a detective than being bold.
You don't even know why I did that. How dare you try to complain?
- Commissioner No. - If someone did you a favor,
- you need to understand it. - That's not the case.
That is the case. If you're done, move aside.
I am going to...
straighten out the whole thing.
Do whatever you want.
If you're finished, get lost.
What is it?
Did you take advantage of one of our own again?
- How far are you going to... - What did I do?
This is all a big picture that Director Tak is drawing.
- Director Tak? - Chairman Jo of Star Group...
knows Director Tak's weakness.
He said he covered up some incident...
for Chairman Jo 16 years ago.
Director Tak?
You've recently been doing pretty interesting things.
I heard you went into prison...
to get some information out from an inmate...
who applied for a retrial.
Oh, you must have heard it from Prosecutor Tak.
No, he doesn't talk much.
He's a man who has a higher moral standard than me.
So why did you want to see me?
I'm looking for the owner of this necklace.
Do you recognize this?
There is this man I'm after.
I think this has something to do with him.
Which accident is this man related to?
A car accident which happened 16 years ago.
He might be a new witness...
or the real culprit who caused the accident.
Of course, I know this.
It's the exact same necklace...
which I got when I retired from the profession you are in.
Could this be mine?
I have the same initials.
Is that yours?
No way.
I kept mine in a safe place.
This necklace is...
a reminder for me to never forget where I came from.
I might have changed my profession,
but my roots are still the same.
I'm still a very passionate man...
just like you are.
I hope this became an answer for you.
I hope...
that case you are after gets resolved well.
I will only focus on...
finding out who's there at the end.
Did you talk to him? What did he say?
- Did he say it was his? - No.
But something was odd.
What was?
The air.
The air?
Thanks for the necklace.
Recently,
I've been thinking of old articles which I lost.
I'll give it back to you very soon.
Sure.
Dong Tak, where are you?
- What's wrong? - You know,
I see a huge rainstorm coming to our team in the near future.
I don't like asking you to do this,
but help us put an end to this urgent matter first.
Go back to the orphanage,
and try to remember anything related to the angel wings.
I'll take care of this and rush over to you.
Okay, I got it.
Detective Park!
I'll kill that jerk.
Kill?
My gosh.
Dong Tak.
Did you say...
Hang Joon's case is not over for you yet?
Do you still feel the same?
What if I do?
Any new evidence?
I've been searching.
Are you sure...
you can handle this?
Do you know something?
Try to unravel the case that came over to us...
from the Traffic Accident Team.
You might find something at the end.
Why would you say that?
Did you...
send me...
that photo?
Photo?
What photo?
It's nothing.
The body was found on an embankment 200m from the scene.
The direct cause of death was shock due to excessive bleeding,
but if you look at the estimated time of death,
if she got help on time, she could've survived.
Someone left her on an embankment instead of helping her?
What a scumbag.
Do you have any evidence?
At the moment,
we only have a male's DNA found under the victim's fingernail.
Try to unravel the case from the Traffic Accident Team.
You might...
find something at the end.
Didn't we get this case from the Traffic Accident Team?
We did.
(College student hit-and-run)
Where were you? Sit down.
Sorry.
What did NISI say?
Based on the shape of the skin cells found under the fingernail,
the victim scratched the suspect's arm or back of the hand when alive.
Arm or back of the hand?
I'm Jo Min Seok.
This is getting worse.
Okay, then. Do whatever it takes to find the suspect.
Dong Tak, are you in?
Answer me.
Yes.
Good. Go get the guy.
Okay.
Dong Ki.
Park Dong Ki.
Yes?
Do you have anything to say to me?
I'll go get the killer.
I should go.
Well? Well?
I think that behind this case, we'll find a lead to our case.
Really?
If we dig into this,
we'll definitely find something.
Good.
The case holds the answer?
Then we dig for life or death. And then...
Director Jo Min Seok.
Go, go, go.
What a nice place.
Here.
Now, I no longer owe you anything.
What's wrong?
Was it not enough? I told them to give you a lot.
- Isn't this enough? - No, no.
You're rich, so you might've thought little of me.
Did you think you could buy me?
I already did buy you.
Right? Whether I hit a deer...
or a person,
what's the difference?
I asked you for help,
and you tampered with evidence to earn my favor.
You did.
If I were not the Jo Min Seok you knew so well,
would you have done the same?
And then, even if it weren't for you, you can't...
put me away anyway.
What?
Take it back.
I'll give you more.
Get going.
I'm sick of being ashamed.
Asking a detective to help me out.
It...
hurts my pride a bit.
Also,
my brother's in trouble.
I can't just ignore that.
Half of me is a Violent Crimes detective.
What do you mean?
Did I spend too much time here?
My heart feels hot with passion.
Whatever happens, we have to stay on this case.
See who's behind it.
Okay, good.
There's no witness, and the camera footage is gone.
It's killing me.
If only someone did things right the first time...
We might find something even without the camera footage.
Okay, bye.
The footage.
We just found a moving security camera.
Dashboard cameras?
2pm and 11pm.
Nothing is more reliable than the dashboard camera...
of a truck that makes deliveries twice a day.
Detective Cha and I tracked down...
all the delivery trucks in the area...
- and got copies of their files. - Good, good, well done.
Detective Park, don't worry.
Trust Dong Tak.
I found something on one of them.
Wait, isn't she leaving a convenience store?
Yes.
As you can see, it's obviously a drunk driver.
It is. Wait, wait, pause.
He drove into something and hit the brakes.
Doesn't it look like a person fell?
Wait. It has to be the college student.
Okay.
Let's put out a notice for the driver and locate the car.
Let's shake him down.
Captain, I just got the owner registration...
of the car we saw in the video.
Hang on, the suspect is...
Open your mouth.
- I'll take some photos. - Okay.
Star Group's Director Jo Min Seok.
He's been in before.
He's known for being into drugs and gambling.
Can we get him this time?
If the DNA's a match, he'll be detained.
- Captain. - What?
We even lost the backup copies of the camera footage.
There's a rumor that it was an inside job.
I'll ask point blank.
How did you get hurt?
Oh, this?
I don't remember.
You hit someone and fled.
The victim left that mark on you.
On me?
No, I hit a deer.
Whether you hit a deer or a person,
we'll find out when the DNA from the skin cells...
found under the victim's fingernail comes back...
a match to yours.
Will it be that easy?
You know who I am.
The value of my shares appear in the papers every morning.
That's me.
No one in the world dislikes money.
Do you like it too?
It must be great to be rich.
Too bad.
You won't be able to spend it all.
I was in prison not so long ago.
There, you can only spend a certain amount.
Just 20 dollars per day for anyone.
It's very fair.
However much dough you have,
you'll end up in a place where you can only spend 20 a day.
Hello?
Detective Cha.
Sorry.
The DNA from under the fingernails were damaged.
Sorry. I can't get a comparison.
Okay.
You got lucky.
You got your way.
It's always like this.
You know why I'm lucky.
I'm my dad's only heir.
When he dies,
the company with the 10th most turnover in Korea becomes mine.
What does that mean?
If someone like me keeps spending to make the economy roll,
it lets peasants like you eke out a living.
S if you want to go on making a living,
you shouldn't keep busy people like me in here.
Learn your place.
You talk too much.
You're afraid of something.
Where's your car?
My car?
The one you drove the night of the accident.
That car?
I didn't like it, so I got rid of it.
Did you?
Don't you read the papers?
"Jo Min Seok, third generation heir to Star Group".
"He collects cars for a hobby."
Say they make only five of a certain model.
One of them is always mine.
I'm crazy about cars.
And...
if I were in an accident like you say I was,
wouldn't I have gotten rid of the car already?
What now?
That was your only evidence.
(Interrogation Room)
I have a feeling.
He said it himself.
He's crazy about automaker stocks.
People like him can't get rid of the cars he has collected.
He would have hid the car that was involved in the accident.
I think I need to get in your body.
- You're crazy. - Crazy?
Crazy?
You're the crazy one. You're talking to a spirit.
So what are you going to do?
I'm going to pull a proper fraud.
I can't explain,
but I didn't mean it.
But I'll promise you this.
You'll never get involved with me like this from now on.
That's probably why...
he tried to push me away.
How will I see him again?
I have information to trade with this.
Hey, this one has the best scent.
I'll only trade with a good one.
Jo Min Seok is being interrogated at the Seoul Central Police Station.
Is this good enough?
Jo Min Seok from Star Group? Why?
I don't know yet. I heard it was an arrest without warrant.
He'll probably get away with it again.
Why? Are you going to cover the news?
No, I'm going to retrieve something of mine.
(Men's Bathroom)
Hurry up!
Detective Cha?
No, I'm Gong Soo Chang right now.
Are you in his body again?
Detective Cha allowed me in this time.
I see.
You wouldn't be here to see me.
Are you here to see Detective Cha?
No, it's just that I left something here,
and I also wanted to cover Jo Min Seok...
"No."
That's what Detective Cha would have said.
I need to...
help Detective Cha today. You can't cover the story right now.
I'll have to say no too.
I think you'll need to...
wait a little longer today.
Okay.
And...
are you all right?
Because of me...
I mean, because of us, you got hurt.
I'm sorry.
I'm busy, so I'll be leaving.
The conman...
has always been helping Detective Cha.
Gosh, there are so many unnecessary eyes watching in the police station.
Gosh. Hey! This is...
Gosh.
Well...
I don't know if we're going to become friends...
or if I'll have to serve you as the director...
yet.
So we'll talk...
secretly and greatly.
I can't understand this situation.
It's kind of a smokescreen strategy.
So...
I don't believe in coincidences.
Did we happen to meet by accident?
I don't think so.
Detective Park Dong Ki...
or his superiors...
make a lot of noises, but they don't actually do anything.
So you're saying that...
you know Detective Park Dong Ki has been helping me out?
Are you in his line?
Okay. Talking about Detective Park has made him let down his guard.
I deal with bigger things.
Drugs, hit-and-run, gambling.
I can take care of these easily. Why?
I'm the real ace.
Gosh.
How can a police officer do this to a hit-and-run suspect?
This doesn't make sense. It's being recorded in here.
Gosh.
Oh, my.
It's always more interesting to see people's characteristics change.
What do you think I did outside?
The internet.
The values of the stock you own get covered in the news every day.
When your old man dies,
you'll be in charge of the company ranked 10th for the money it owns.
You're a charming man, Director Jo Min Seok.
That's why I began to see things differently.
I decided...
I wanted to have a better life next to a great man like you,
Director Jo Min Seok.
I'll carry on with the investigation.
But it'll all be a pretense.
There won't be any evidence, so it'll get quiet soon.
But I want you to promise me one thing.
You won't be going to prison.
I'll resign,
and I'll get a business card for Star Group.
All right.
You'll need to rethink about my offer.
But positive thoughts only.
