[Taxi Driver 3]

[This drama is a work of fiction]

[All people, incidents, and backgrounds...]

[in this drama are fictitious.]

[Children and animals were
filmed under guidelines.]

[Episode 8]

Darn it. What is this?

Hey, you jerks! Time to make some money!

What is it?

One of the sites you set up
back in Korea was shut down.

Shut down?

That was my first project in Korea.

Who was in charge of this one again?

Hang on. That coach.

Where did they...

Please...

Right. Seong Uk.

Hey, Seong Uk. It's been
a while. This is Gwang Jin.

This can't be right. Only
we knew about this. Right?

Seong Uk, you need to calm down.

But I just got here.

I'll go check for myself.

[The grave of Baek Seon Ja]

Found it.

You had me so worried! Darn it.

Hey, I found him. Min h* was right here.

So you dug him up
yourself just to make sure.

No, that's not it.

Let's meet face-to-face soon.

Get ready. We're making
a quick trip to Korea.

Yes, sir.

[Taxi to Seoul]

Cutting you in line.

- Jingwang University, please.
- Hey...

[17 years ago]

Okay, everyone, I'm taking the picture.

[Jingwang University]

- All right, a cheer! In 1, 2, 3.
- Let's do this!

[Jingwang University Volleyball Team]

[New Member Gear and Uniform Sponsor]

Okay, that's a wrap.

- Gosh, I'm nervous.
- Play well, everyone.

Let's go practice. We need
to prepare for the match.

- We've got to crush them.
- We're awesome.

- We should work hard.
- Yes?

- Play well.
- Thank you. I won't let you down.

- We'll do our best.
- Let's go!

[2 years later]

[Jingwang University Volleyball Team]

[Park Min h*]

Min h*.

Why aren't you picking one?

I'm fine, thanks. I'm just looking.

This is my treat to make
sure you win the next match.

- Just pick one.
- No, really, I'm fine.

Gosh, you're so darn stubborn.

Hey, look at these shoes. Don't they reek?

- Sir.
- Sir, we've each picked a pair.

They're pro volleyball shoes,
so they're a little expensive.

- Right.
- Not "sir." Call me Gwang Jin.

Not you, though. People
might get the wrong idea.

Okay.

Hey. You guys picked out
some really expensive ones.

- Then we can pick something else...
- Something else?

Well...

You guys are k*lling me. Go
on, get three more pairs of them.

- For Min h* too.
- Thank you!

No.

- I really don't need them.
- Well, I'm not okay with that.

Hey, why are you being so...

Hey, take him and help him find his size.

- No. I'm really okay.
- Got it, Gwang Jin.

- Just come on.
- Really, it's fine.

You're a size ten, right?

Hey.

Yes?

Hey, I told you I'm really fine.

Darn, it's a perfect fit.

Hey, you should just get this one too.

Let's all get matching pairs.

- With Seong Uk and me.
- All right?

- Not bad.
- You'll take them, right?

[Jingwang University]

- Mine!
- Mine!

What was that?

- My bad.
- Seong Uk, focus!

Let's go!

All right, let's get this one!

Second set, double contact fault.

Third set, two failed receives.

Wait, weren't there two service aces?

Gwang Jin is going to flip out
on us for not following his orders.

The least he could do is
write it so I can actually read it.

- You should've read it right!
- You try reading it.

What are you guys doing?

Hey, Min h*.

What's that you're hiding?

- It's nothing.
- What, did you get a love letter?

Let me see.

[2nd set: Double contact fault,


Stop, you're being embarrassing.
We were just talking something over.

Yes, that's right. We
were just going over...

the mistakes we made today.

Going over?

You mean you weren't
just following instructions?

- Darn it.
- No.

Min h*.

What has gotten into you guys?

- Seong Uk. What are we going to do?
- What else can we do?

Seriously, what am I going to do?

We need to talk.

Get in.

Did you settle things with your
dad using the money I gave you?

Yes.

- I was grateful for your help.
- Think nothing of it.

If you ever need help, just let me know.

The best way to be a good son
is to keep training hard as you are.

You need to go pro, make big
money, and take care of your dad.

Who even goes to watch
repair shops anymore?

Right?

The thing is, I've been
in a tough spot lately,

and Seong Uk and Dong Hyeon
understood and helped me out a lot.

They're really good kids.

I don't think I've ever asked
you for anything, have I, Min h*?

So, think you could help me out too?

You want me to do as you say...

and fix the match?

I'm not telling you to lose the game.

Do me 1 or 2 favours, then
go back to playing to win.

Nothing changes.

I will...

help you out.

Okay? All the way to the V-League. No.

Until your playing career is over. Okay?

I'm going to report you to the police.

For match-fixing.

You don't want to do that.

Weren't you pretty quick to take my money?

I wouldn't have taken the darn money
if I knew this was what you wanted!

And who's going to believe you?
Everyone knows how close we are.

I'm your official sponsor.

Let's say you do report me.

You'd be an accomplice.

Then I'll take the punishment
right along with you.

You idiot.

You've watched too many dramas, Min h*.

You think you're the hero of some story?

So you're saying you're willing
to ruin your two friends' lives?

You're one cold-hearted jerk.

I've created my own monster.

The one who ruined our lives...

was you, wasn't it?

I'll get out over there.

Min h*, hold on!

Look, don't get the wrong idea.

I'm telling you this for your own good.

It's hard to make a living off volleyball.

This is the last chance I'm giving you.

Think it over carefully.

Got it?

I'll be on my way.

[Park Min h*]

Son, have you eaten yet?

Yes, I ate.

You sound down.

Is something wrong?

No, it's just...

I saw someone I know do
something terrible, and...

So you want to just let it slide,

but it's weighing on your conscience.

Well...

Son, do what your heart tells you. Okay?

If that's what you
feel is right, then it is.

You know I'm always in
your corner, right? Okay?

Welcome.

Hey, son.

See you later.

Okay. Oh, Dad!

Thank you.

Hey, Im Dong Hyeon.

Where are you right now?

Hey, Dong Hyeon, listen to
me. If we don't fix this now,

we'll be under his thumb forever.

I'm going to the police today to report it.

That you and Jo Seong Uk were match-fixing.

What's it to you?

Dong Hyeon.

Turn yourself in now, while you still can.

Look, if I go, I'm turning you in.
But if you go, you turn yourself in.

They'll definitely go easier on you. Okay?

Dong Hyeon.

- Please.
- You've got to be kidding me.

- Sit down.
- Okay.

What are you doing,
you punk? Get over here.

[Jingwang University Volleyball Team Wins]

I told you to think
things over, but this...

is very disappointing.

You don't do that to people.

What?

Hey.

- You hit him too.
- What?

If you just let him go,

he's going to report
all of you to the police.

You're just going to let that happen?

- Give it here.
- No!

Hey.

So what if you're the
captain? Get lost, you jerk!

He's acting weird.

- Dong Hyeon, leave in five minutes.
- Got it.

Seong Uk, you're with me.

Oh, dear.

Yes. I found Min h*.

Min h*.

Min h*.

Are you dead?

He's dead, right?

What are you talking about?

Min h* fought in the locker room and left.

Right?

- But Min h*...
- What is it?

Are you calling the cops?

When you're the one who beat him up?

Dong Hyeon! Listen carefully.

Min h* just fought with us and left.
Min h* just fought with us and left.

Got it? If this goes bad,

say you fought in the locker
room and that was it. Okay?

- Answer me, you jerk!
- Yes! Okay, I got it.

From now on,

I'll make sure you're all taken care of.

Dong Hyeon.

Don't you worry about it.

I'll sort everything out.

- Good job. Go get some rest.
- Okay.

Don't worry.

You, stay here.

[The grave of Baek Seon Ja]

All right, that's enough. Come on.

Lift his legs.

This jerk's eyes are still open.

Okay, lift! One, two, three.

One, two, three.

My grandma's been dead for ten years,

and now she's finally
giving her grandson a big gift.

How thoughtful.

Gwang Jin...

Are we really going to be okay?

This is where you bury the dead.

Yes, you're right.

Grandma will be happy to have a new friend.

Right?

Let's bury him.

Hey, what are you doing?

Min h*'s uniform.

Darn it.

- You're going to wear his shorts?
- Right. The shorts.

Let's finish this quick
and get something to eat.

The defendant, Im Dong Hyeon,

is sentenced to five months in prison...

and 80 hours of community service.

What kind of justice is this?

He k*lled a man, and
he only gets five months?

What kind of justice is this?

My son...

We still haven't even found his body!

Hey! Wait!

Tell me where my son
is. Please, just tell me.

He deserves a funeral, doesn't he?

- I told you, I didn't k*ll him.
- Just tell me!

I said, tell me!

I'm not letting you get away with this.

I'll make you pay!

Hey!

You people... Are you even human?

[Jo Seong Uk]

[Jingwang University]

This is what you're worth.

We need to earn more.

Hey, who knows how
much we'll need tomorrow?

We need to make a k*lling, right?

But listen.

Min h*'s father went to visit Dong Hyeon,

and he said it seems the
father knows what happened.

- He knows what?
- About Min h*.

Dong Hyeon said the father
knows he didn't act alone.

I see.

Bring a truck by later.

Min h*...

Strike!

Get out and check.

Get a grip.

I told you, there are no
security cameras here.

Okay?

What are you doing?

I think he's dead.

He's dead.

Oh, get the phone.

Let's go clear out the old man's room.

[Taxi Driver 3]

[The grave of Baek Seon Ja]

[The grave of Baek Seon Ja,
Grandson, Cheon Gwang Jin]

My grandma must be raising a fuss.

Hey, it's me.

I'm back in Korea.

It's been a while. We should meet up.

So, Mr. Park's memory was back briefly?

Yes.

He asked me for a favour.

If by chance,

you find Min h*,

I need you...

to hold his funeral for me.

When I finally regain my senses...

and learn that my Min
h* is resting in peace...

in a place with plenty of sunlight...

and a good view of the sunset,

then...

I couldn't ask for anything more.

Please promise me you'll do that.

What on earth happened 15 years ago?

I suppose Min h* will
tell us everything now.

But there's one thing that's bothering me.

- What?
- When Jo Seong Uk came here,

he was on the phone with someone.

He didn't hang up until after he
removed the body from the grave.

It was as if...

he were asking for permission.

Someone else connected...

to Park Min h*'s death?

Yes.

Someone who's stayed
hidden from us this whole time.

Another perpetrator.

[No Smoking]

Gwang Jin!

Gosh, if it isn't the famous
Coach Jo Seong Uk.

Gwang Jin, it's been a
while. How have you been?

You haven't aged a day.

Have a seat.

Hang on, I've got a bite.

All right!

What was that? You made me lose the fish.

Dong Hyeon.

That's against the rules.

I told you to shake it after
I catch the fish, you idiot.

I'm sorry, it was my fault!

Please let me live just this once.

- Please!
- Just this once?

Okay.

Let's get it right this time.

- Let's do it!
- No!

Help me!

Seong Uk, come over here.

Hey, what's all this about?

Suddenly, our game's rules broke.

Then Min h* sent a text,

and now, someone else who
knows everything has appeared.

Dong Hyeon's always been
terrible at explaining things.

I can't make heads or
tails of what he's saying.

Gwang Jin!

The bobber's moving!

Pay it no mind.

No, I'm telling you, the bobber moved.

- That jerk is just lying.
- No...

Do you want to hear a secret?

- What?
- There are...

no fish here.

Since Dong Hyeon is so
bad at explaining things,

why don't you explain
it so I can understand?

Why did you dig up Min h*?

According to the DNA results,
the man missing for 15 years...

was a match for Park Min h*.

And what did they determine
was the cause of death?

It is presumed that the death
was caused by a skull fracture,

but the direct cause is a traffic accident.

A traffic accident?

Yes. He had many compound
fractures all over his body.

The body will be transferred
to the hospital morgue today.

I'll call ahead so you can claim the body.

Yes, thank you.

[Violent Crimes Unit,
Phishing Investigation Unit]

A traffic accident?

I took it.

All right.

Min h*, it's been a while.

[Body Bag, Name: Park Min h*]

Take it.

[Rainbow Taxi]

Chief Park.

[The Late Park Min h*]

Excuse me.

There's been an accident.

An accident?

What are you talking about?

What do you mean Park
Min h*'s body was stolen?

We were waiting for the body too.

Apparently, they staged an
accident and only took the body.

But who on earth would
do something like that?

- Everyone.
- What is it, Go Eun?

This is the gym owned by Im Dong Hyeon.

A fire broke out at a gym,
and its owner, identified as Im,

was found deceased at the scene.

Im Dong Hyeon? Why all of a sudden?

There's more.

They are investigating
the cause of the fire.

In other news, the volleyball
coach investigated for match-fixing,

a scandal revealed by a confession
from a Jingwang University player,

Coach Jo was found drowned.

Police suspect that Coach Jo may have...

Im Dong Hyeon and Jo Seong Uk.
They were both definitely m*rder*d.

It can't be a coincidence that
they died at the same time.

And the theft of Park Min h*'s body...

was all done by the same person.

A perpetrator who's
never even shown his face.

But why?

Mr. Park is in danger.

Look who's still kicking, old man.

Who are you?

Me?

I'm Park Min h*.

No, you're not.

Park Min h*.

Number ten on the Jingwang
University volleyball team.

Right-side hitter.

You've completely lost it, old man.

He likes bibimbap with seasoned vegetables.

There's no way you could've
found Min h* in your condition.

Someone must be helping you.

Right? Who is it?

He likes Girls' Generation.

Girls' Generation?

He likes taking pictures.

You must be having a
great time having a stroll.

What's this?

Dong Su! Who are you people? Move!

Mr. Jang!

So, it was you.

You're the "Girls' Generation"...

helping the old man from the shadows.

Are you the one who
took Park Min h*'s body?

Dong Su!

Sir, are you all right?

You're fast.

Answer my calls.

That guy from before can really fight.

Yes, he looks like he
was in the special forces.

Yes. Let's get our gear set up.

Make it special.

I smell big money.

Cheon Gwang Jin.

The grandson of the founding
chairman of the Jingwang Foundation.

The betting site Im Dong Hyeon
and Jo Seong Uk were using.

The money trail from it led
right back to Cheon Gwang Jin.

Wait, the founding chairman?

The grave Park Min h* was in.

- That was the chairman's grave.
- Wait, so what does that mean?

He hid someone else's body
in his own grandmother's grave?

- Darn it.
- This guy's a total psycho!

Now it makes sense how Jo Seong Uk...

coached Jingwang's
volleyball team for so long.

The worst part right now...

is that they have Park Min h*'s body.

Okay, but why would they
steal Park Min h*'s body?

I just don't get it.

Because Park Min
h*'s body is all that's left.

Im Dong Hyeon and Jo Seong
Uk, who shared the secret, are dead,

and there's no evidence left.

If they get rid of Park Min h*'s body,

the truth of what happened
that day will be buried forever.

If that happens,

it means we can never solve
Mr. Park Dong Su's case.

That's why...

we have to go right now.

[Jackpot Daycare]

For a second there, I was worried
you would go alone, Driver Kim.

Cheon Gwang Jin. He thinks
without restraint and is dangerous.

I might not be able to
handle him on my own.

We have to go together.

Of course. It'll be hard for you
to face a psycho like that alone.

Right. We'll fight like psychos
right alongside you, Driver Kim.

- We don't have to be psychos too.
- You think so?

Hey, Girls' Generation.

I don't recall introducing myself that way.

How much did that
senile old geezer pay you?

I can pay you way more.

Talking about money over
the phone doesn't feel right.

How about we talk in person?

Gosh, great minds think alike.

Glad to hear we're on the same page.

I'll text you the address.
Get here within the hour.

Be late, and you'll never
find Min h*'s bones.

Goodness. He's already hooked.

[Title: "Grandmother and Grandson"]

[Donated by Chairman
Baek and Cheon Gwang Jin]

I have a bad feeling about this place...

just from looking at the map.

Why? Where on earth is it?

A forgotten place.

A forgotten place?

What's he doing?

They're not coming to get
him, and not telling him to go in.

I think they're checking
to see if I came alone.

He has no tail.

[Deluxe Taxi]

There's a school out here?

So? You like this place?

Isn't it rude to invite someone
over and then just call him?

Look to your right.

See that door with the X
on it? Come in through there.

So?

This school's got a
k*ller vibe, doesn't it?

When I was in elementary
school, I was playing with a friend,

and I accidentally k*lled him.

But my family...

thought it was an accident,
so they covered it all up for me.

But my grandma caught on.

That it wasn't an accident.

Even thinking about it now,
it's creepy, don't you think?

How did my grandma even figure it out?

So she rushed to build this school.

She planned to lock me up here after
I graduated from elementary school.

That's why this school is just like you.

It's crawling with nothing but scum.

I'm not the scum, my grandma is.

A grown-up shouldn't treat
her own grandson like that.

But you know what's even creepier?

I went and figured out her little plan.

Gosh. You should have
just let the past stay buried.

Why on earth are you digging
it all up now? Such a pain.

Park Min h*'s body. Where is it now?

Right. I almost forgot
that's why you're here.

Let's see.

There's an item under
the statue to your right.

[Title: "Grandmother and Grandson"]

What is this now?

Let's play a game with that.

A survival game.

If you win, Min h*'s bones are yours.

If I win,

I'll just throw them away.

All right.

Start!

Round One.

Fight.

Gosh, look at that jerk using
the terrain to his advantage.

Goodness, the odds are skyrocketing.

See? This is why the
fighting dog has to be tough.

Go Eun.

Can you check the building's CCTV footage?

It won't take long.

Chief Choi, Chief Park, how
much longer will you be in there?

I need you to get me into
the school's intranet now.

- Hold on.
- What? Why?

Aren't we going too fast?
What if there are guys out there?

Go Eun said she needs
us to connect her right away.

- All right, fine.
- I'm going out.

Hey, wait.

What is it now?

I think I just heard footsteps outside.

- What? I don't hear anything.
- You don't?

Fine, whatever. I'm
going out on three. One.

- Why are you in such a rush?
- Two.

What if those jerks are outside?

Hey, you jerks!

Three.

- Let's move.
- Okay.

Go Eun's waiting.

Hey, take it easy. These
jerks are trashing it all.

The payout's good, though.

Get him!

- Hey!
- Open the door!

Darn it.

Round Two.

Fight.

There's more?

Just a second.

Okay.

Go Eun, we're connected.

- Jin Eon.
- Yes?

So they're even using an
external internet connection.

What is this?

You jerk!

You jerk!

Driver Kim Do Gi, you are...

being broadcast on the
dark web internationally.

There's a betting ring on you.
These people are completely insane.

Look at his defence.

Go Eun, can you find the broadcasting room?

- The broadcasting room?
- Cheon Gwang Jin rang the bell.

Showing you the way now.

He's an entertaining one.

- Patch into the hallway feed.
- Yes, sir.

The broadcasting room...

is the last room on the
floor directly above you.

What? Why did it turn off? Next hallway.

Darn it, can't you do a
job properly, you jerk?

It wasn't me.

- I think someone else has control.
- What?

Directional controls aren't responding.

Of course they're not.

Darn it.

- Got you!
- Hey, people are leaving!

Darn it. My money!

The feed's down again.

Darn it!

Can't see a thing, can you?

This is an interesting situation, isn't it?

Why isn't this working?
Get it back online, now!

You're asking why?

Darn it.

Hey, what are you waiting for?

Go check it out now!

Round Three.

Fight!

You're surprisingly good at this.

How would you like to make
some real money with me?

They must think anyone who
shows up on screen is a player.

It looks like everyone's hoping you die.

- I guess that's where the money is.
- It is for me.

Because you're the one
who's going to die here.

There are some k*ller
bets placed against you.

[Jingwang Boys' Middle School]

[Disciplinary spanking]

I can't believe they still
have these in schools.

Disciplinary spanking.

Does it hurt?

You should have...

listened to your teacher.

Goodness.

So you beat all the minions
and made it to the final boss.

You're too slow.

So are you.

I guess that's the one
thing we have in common.

You're here for Park Min h*'s body, right?

I'll tell you where it is.

Thanks, but I'll pass.

Because I've already found him.

Park Min h* has been safely recovered.

Hey, how much did that old man pay you?

I'll give you...

ten times that amount. Okay?

No?

How about 20 times?

I'll pass on that too.

Then just die.

I just eyeballed it, but
luckily, it's a perfect fit.

Oh, gosh.

It hurts.

I think everything's broken.

You know what?

They say falling from three stories up...

is like getting hit by a
car going 60km per hour.

It hurts.

I need to go to a hospital.

That's how Park Min h* must've
felt when you hit him with your car.

And his father, Park
Dong Su, must have too.

What did you do back then?

Did you just stand there and watch?

Smiling just like this?

Please spare me.

Please spare me.

I'll never do it again.

Why? Are you scared?

That you'll disappear without a trace?

Come on, you know how I feel.

You're not a bad guy, are you?

So you are a bad guy.

Then just k*ll me already.

You're going to k*ll me anyway.

Park Min h*, the man you k*lled.
His father resets this every time.

Three minutes.

All the time he had left
to remember his son.

Before this sand runs
out, you'd better think hard.

Is there even a single
person in this world...

who will genuinely remember you?

Is there?

Yes, there is!

You!

You'll have to be the one to remember me!

[My moments of lucidity
are getting shorter.]

[And they last under 3 minutes.]

[I'm leaving the things I must
remember and never forget.]

You!

You'll have to be the one to remember me!

Min h*!

Min h*!

Dad, hurry up. The
sun's just starting to set.

When I was coming up here,

I didn't think you'd actually be here.

Of course I'm here. We made a promise, Dad.

We...

promised to return here together, remember?

- Yes.
- The sky is beautiful today too.

Right.

I knew you'd find me, Dad.

I'm sorry. It took me so long, didn't it?

No, it's okay.

Dad.

You went through so much trying to find me.

You really did.

Dad.

I'll go on ahead and wait for you,

so you take your time...

and come join me much later.

Okay?

And don't you worry about me.

Min h*.

Thank you.

[Dong Su, please give
me a call. Seong Cheol]

Dong Su.

Please give me a call.

Dong Su.

I've been waiting for this phone to ring.

Your son Min h* is on his final journey.

You have to be the one to see him off.

[Deluxe Taxi]

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[The late Park Min h*]

[The late Park Min h*]

Min h*.

Yes?

The sky is so beautiful.

It's the kind of sky you love.

Look at that.

It is.

It's really beautiful today too.

[The late Park Min h*]

You know, my dream was to be an idol.

I'm going all-in on you,
risking everything I have.

Where are we going?

The next thing she knew, she
woke up somewhere strange.

Then what am I supposed to do?

If you can't debut now, the group is done.

I really don't know anything.

Just remember how badly you wanted this.

What if the agency is the one
that's been threatening our client?

You're in for a beating today.

Looks like we'll need
someone on the inside.

We'll replace the manager.
