01x07 - Episode 7

Post by bunniefuu »

Han-jun's at the emergency stairs.

Hurry!

Gopuri, you b*stard.

Han-jun.

-Go catch Gopuri!

-Damn it.

Hey, stop right there!

Where…

Where did that b*stard go?

EPISODE 7

Where's the k*ller?

Su-cheol's after him.

What about Choi Yeong-seop?

Damn it.

I'll go get the doctor!

Choi Yeong-seop!

Tell me who the k*ller is!

-Tell me who it is, then you--

-Mr. Shaman.

Su-ji, my Su-ji.

Su-ji…

Su-ji.

Su-ji.

Su-ji.…

Su-ji's asking me

to tell you that she's sorry

she broke your heart.

That she loves you

and that you never let her down.

She says you can let it go now

and come to her.

Your daughter is kind.

Su-ji…

I didn't k*ll anyone.

He's going to use someone like me again

to k*ll…

He won't stop…

Choi Yeong-seop.

Choi Yeong-seop.

Mr. Choi!

Wake up! Mr. Choi!

Do something!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

-Give me 200 joules.

-Charging.

One, two, go!

One milliliter of epinephrine.

-One, two, three, four, five, six…

-Give me 200 joules.

-Charging.

-One, two, go!

No.

Choi Yeong-seop!

You can't die like this!

Choi Yeong-seop, wake up!

Choi Yeong-seop!

Wake up!

Stop it.

This was our chance to finally find out

why Jae-jeong was m*rder*d.

I know. I thought

we'd finally be able to catch the k*ller.

I want an apology.

I told you so many times,

over and over again

that Choi Yeong-seop

didn't k*ll Kang Eun-hye

and he was just a pawn.

But you kept ignoring me.

Look what happened now.

-That's--

-You heard it too!

Choi Yeong-seop said

he didn't k*ll anyone!

Even if that's true,

he was still an accomplice.

Gosh…

So you won't admit it to the very end?

I guess you won't need

the k*ller's DNA that I risked

my life to get.

Mr. Nam!

Without that,

you won't catch the k*ller either.

So admit that you made a mistake

and apologize!

Apologize for ignoring me and hitting me!

For screwing me over when we said

we'd catch the k*ller together

-and for removing the CCTV!

-I get that he's upset,

but he's being so immature about it.

If you destroy the evidence,

I will arrest you for real this time.

You…

You really are a bad person, aren't you?

No!

Okay, fine!

I'll apologize, I will.

Jeez.

I'm sorry.

I apologize for having

ignored your opinion.

I should have listened to you better.

I was too hasty.

I admit that I made a mistake

and I apologize.

That didn't feel sincere.

However…

I'll be the bigger person

and accept your apology.

Here you go.

And you! Are you listening?

If you want to catch the k*ller,

find the man who k*lled Choi Yeong-seop!

Don't do a slapdash job

just to close the case!

Investigate like a true police officer!

A true police officer!

Got it?

Now go!

-Okay, bye.

-See you again.

Nam Han-jun…

Nam Han-jun!

Nam Han-jun!

You can do it.

Are you feeling better?

I don't think I am.

If you were going to be this upset,

why didn't you just lash out at Mr. Nam?

Well, I was angrier with myself

than I was with Nam Han-jun earlier.

Now that I know

that Choi Yeong-seop isn't the k*ller,

everything I did until now felt pointless

and it made me feel incompetent.

That made me upset.

Why did it never occur to me in

the last three years that Choi Yeong-seop

might not be the k*ller?

I was sure it was Choi Yeong-seop too.

I guess Mr. Nam Han-jun was

the only one who saw through everything.

He must be laughing at me

somewhere even now.

Damn it!

Thinking about it makes me mad again.

Let's catch the k*ller together,

the two of us.

CLOSED UNTIL SUNDAY

DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS

Damn it.

He hasn't eaten anything.

Shouldn't we drag him out

and feed him porridge or something?

It's his own fault for hoping

that there would be a DNA match.

Right. But being like that isn't good

for your mental health.

Gosh, Han-jun. It's okay.

Everything will be okay.

It's all right, everything's okay.

-What are you doing?

-What?

What do you mean it's okay?

And why does it smell like

someone else's house here?

What's that?

Fermented skate

with steamed pork and kimchi.

You must be hungry. Come on, eat with us.

Are you kidding me?

I told you to eat smelly food

in the kitchen over there!

You're driving me crazy.

At least turn on the air purifier!

Purify me.

Fine, throw your fit.

At least I'm used to it.

It's better than silence.

How can you speak

to your older brother that way?

Did you find who Choi last talked to

on his phone?

Yes. It was a burner phone.

What's this smell? It smells like feet…

Gosh, you're eating cheonggukjang too.

MOBILE SERVICE APPLICATION

Jeez. He's got dozens of phones

under his name.

This is a dead-end.

What about Choi Yeong-seop? Anything new?

The autopsy results didn't show

any traces of unusual chemicals.

And we're having trouble finding

where Gopuri went.

He ran through the underground floor

of the old wing

-where there aren't any CCTVs.

-And the police?

They seem to be closing the case

with Choi as the k*ller.

Are you trying to start a fight with me?

The k*ller m*rder*d Choi Yeong-seop

right in front of me.

That's why

I'm trying to close the case discreetly!

If this gets out to the press,

do you think you'll be the only one

getting fired? Move it!

-Gosh.

-Sir.

Are you really okay with another station

catching a serial k*ller this big?

Serial…

A serial k*ller?

We've so far confirmed that he k*lled

Do Jun-ha, Han Jae-jeong,

Kang Eun-hye, and Choi Yeong-seop.

Four people?

I'm sure he will k*ll again,

and word will get out

even if I keep quiet.

Are you really okay with that?

Gosh, I'm getting goosebumps.

We have to get him

before the other stations!

I'll arrest him no matter what

and have him punished by law.

But you have to keep things quiet

and catch him as quickly as possible.

If there isn't any progress within a week,

I'll give it to another division. Got it?

Yes, sir.

Ms. Kang, who was reported missing

a while back, was the victim.

About Kang Eun-hye

who went missing a month ago…

She had a fight

with her father and left home.

See? I told you it was nothing.

I should have looked into it further.

It's my fault.

We were the ones

who said she was a runaway.

How is it your fault?

Sir, now isn't the time

for you to get upset.

We have to catch this k*ller.

It's just that I feel so bad.

I feel terrible for her.

The poor girl…

Kang Eun-hye is the key

to solving this case.

-What?

-How does this case differ

from the two previous ones?

What can it be?

I don't know.

-The shoes.

-What about the shoes?

The previous cases were

more of a ritual the k*ller performed

following his murders.

He choked his victims to death

with the Gopuri knot,

then untied it as he watched

the bodies burn.

It was a ceremony, a ritual of his.

-Right.

-But this time,

because of the shoes

It feels very personal.

Before, he threw the fabric on the body

and burned them together,

but this time,

he wrapped up the burnt body.

The k*ller felt remorse

and affection toward the victim.

What I'm sure of is that she must have

done something to reach him.

So the k*ller might be someone

who knew Kang Eun-hye?

Kong Su-cheol! You've still got it.

I'm a seasoned detective.

Then that would mean

that high school girl

really is our last hope.

Yes.

Gopuri…

We need to get him before Grumpy.

Going against the police

might get us in trouble.

You wait and see.

I'm going to get Gopuri before Grumpy does

and shove him right in her face.

Then I'll mock her

for being incompetent as much as I want.

Just the thought makes me happy.

No, don't look at him. Just ignore him.

Mr. Shaman told me

that major crimes was being haunted

and that the ghost was after me.

-Please!

-That's ridiculous!

When has Mr. Shaman ever been wrong?

He's right. He's a big help,

especially when we are

at a dead-end like this.

Hey! We won't ever

need help from him again!

Lieutenant Han,

I'm not taking sides or anything but--

He's a total fraud!

You can't say that.

He gets everything right.

He blinds people with all his words and--

-Hey, dunce!

-Damn it…

It's just like the dunce team

to fight during their team dinner.

We weren't fighting.

Are you having your team dinner today too?

You must not have heard about

how we just wiped out the Nogari g*ng.

I told the chief he really didn't have to,

but he just insisted on

treating us to a barbecue.

You guys enjoy your humble dishes.

The chief's buying them a barbecue dinner.

Jeez, he's never once bought us

dinner since our team first formed.

Hey, for division three, I'm always

happy to pay for a beef dinner…

-Really?

-Damn it.

Hey, wait. Wait a minute.

-Hide me. Let's go.

-Yes, sir.

Thank you for the dinner, Chief!

-Thank you!

-Thank you!

Cheol-geun!

-What?

-Chief!

Hey. It's division seven.

Are you guys having your team dinner?

The guys in division three

just wouldn't stop asking me

to treat them to a barbecue dinner,

so I just bought them a little.

I'll treat you guys to

a grand dinner sometime. Okay?

I'll get going then.

Chief, why don't you make it today?

It's the perfect occasion.

What? Today?

Yes, today would be great.

Yes, treat us today, Chief!

Hey, what's with you?

He's right. We didn't even eat much today.

FROZEN

RECEIP

4 BOTTLES OF SOJU, 2 BOTTLES OF BEER,

4 PORTIONS OF FROZEN PORK BELLY

Well, all right. Should I?

Fine. Dinner's on me!

-Thank you!

-Thank you!

Yes, all right.

Let's go. I'll grab the bill.

-Put them back up.

-Yes!

-Let's go.

-Hey, what's this?

Here's the beef.

Did you guys have beef?

Gosh, there's a whole box.

You're drinking by the box?

Sir, we've only just started.

Ma'am, the chief's here, so let's have

another platter of Korean beef!

No, wait. Just order the pork.

Could you change the grill? For the beef--

Why change the grill? No, cancel that.

Sir, have a drink with us.

No, darn it, I don't want to!

-Load him in there. Put your head down.

-Go on now.

-Go.

-Careful, take care.

Thank you for your help.

-You go too.

-Go where?

Go straight home!

-Go, go on.

-Du-jin!

Thank you, sir.

-Get him home safe.

-Du-jin!

Go home already, you punk.

Gosh.

Lieutenant Han, why don't we go there

and just have one more drink each?

TTANGTTANG CHICKEN

-This, please!

-This, please!

We're in sync.

Here's your food.

Thank you.

I was full, but this is

so delicious that I keep eating it.

-Yes.

-Oven-baked chicken is the best.

You've still got a lot to learn,

Lieutenant Han.

Fried chicken is the only way to go.

Lieutenant Han. I'm sorry

about last time.

What?

You know…

About letting Mr. Shaman see

Choi Yeong-seop.

No, sir. I apologize!

I just assumed he was the k*ller

during the investigation,

and I'm sorry about today and I'll keep

doing something to be sorry about!

You don't have to apologize for that.

Why would you make

such a passionate apology?

Come on, sit down.

Well, to be honest,

I'm an old stuffy geezer now.

I was a little jealous

because they sent someone younger

and more competent than me

as the new team leader.

And it hurt my pride too.

That's why I was kind of grouchy

and didn't act my age.

Let's just call it even.

We're even now.

-Sir?

-What?

You know what I liked best

about being assigned to Daeun station?

What was it?

That you were here.

I became a team leader all of a sudden,

but I began to get scared

when I started to think about

why the higher-ups gave me the position.

But I had you here,

so it has been so reassuring.

So, I hope to learn even more

with your guidance, sir!

All right!

We're in it together!

Yes.

Again, I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can say.

What about Kang Eun-hye's parents?

We're a step behind.

Lieutenant Han and Prosecutor Cha

have already spoken to them.

Damn it…

Go talk to Kang Eun-hye's friend

before Grumpy does. Hurry.

What? What about you?

Aren't you going to go with me?

I'm busy. Trying to catch Gopuri is

going to put me out of business.

If you let her get ahead of you again,

you'll end up unemployed.

Move! Hurry up and get a move on.

Ms. Kang's mother said

you were her best friend.

I'll be waiting at the cafe then.

Call me when you get there.

-Okay.

-Gosh, a thief!

-Thief! My money!

-Oh, that's…

That no-good…

My money!

A thief!

-Ma'am, are you okay?

-Oh, no!

I think we need to call an ambulance.

Are you hurt?

Not me. For him. He needs an ambulance.

Jeez. How dare you steal a bag

from an old lady?

You better stop struggling,

or your arm's going to break.

Eun-hye was accepted

into a production? When?

Two months ago.

Then was she already a trainee

before she went missing?

Yes. She told me her dad couldn't find out

and that I had to keep it a secret.

Which company did Eun-hye get into?

Joyce Entertainment.

Joyce…

-Where?

-Joyce Entertainment.

She was so happy she made

the team that was going to debut.

She said she'd call me

when she made her debut,

so I was waiting.

But…

I already told someone this exact story.

To whom?

A male detective.

Could it be?

Why would you go talk

to the victim's friend?

You don't have the authority!

Come on, I need to make sure that

Kang Eun-hye's wrongful death is avenged.

She really didn't deserve it.

You think I'm going to fall for that?

And you might be a cop, but so what?

You can't boss me around.

Focus on your own investigation!

Nam Han-jun. Nam Han-jun!

You must have a lot of lives to burn.

You fraud. I'm going to destroy you!

MINAMDANG

Damn it.

Hey, someone brought

a possessed person to the cafe.

Su-cheol isn't here,

and they're looking for you

while people are watching.

-I'm sorry, it's my fault.

-Sir!

What is the cause of all this commotion?

It's bad. It's really bad.

We're in trouble.

It's a ghost.

Ghosts don't exist.

But she said…

Mr. Shaman. Thank goodness, sir.

Please help us.

My brother is behaving strangely. He keeps

saying he can see his dead girlfriend.

I think he's being haunted by a ghost.

Hey, I'm scared of ghosts too.

Do something, will you?

I'm sorry,

but exorcism isn't my specialty.

Mr. Shaman.

I'll pay you ten million won.

Just get rid of the ghost, and I'll pay

you another ten million right away.

Please, help us.

Na-dan, show them to the VIP room.

What? Wait.

What's he going to do

if he really is being haunted?

Ji-yeong, why are you doing this? Don't.

I'm sorry.

So…

your brother is being haunted?

Yes, I've been to all the famous

Buddhist temples, churches, and shamans.

We've been everywhere

and you're our last chance.

It must have been very hard.

Let's take a look.

Take a look at what?

I can't believe you took

on an unreserved client.

We don't have anything on them.

What are you thinking?

What if they find out

that you're a fake shaman?

We're f*cked.

We're f*cked? Why? What?

What do you mean?

You don't have…

You don't have the earpiece?

Where did you put it, you moron?

Let's see.

I call upon the gods of heaven and earth.

I wouldn't be able to tell you anything

even if you had the earpiece, you moron.

It serves you right after all the bragging

you did, Nam Han-jun.

You're on your own.

I don't hear anything.

-There's nothing.

-Hey, Ms. Yoon.

You're still producing

Fraudbusters, right?

I've got a tip-off for you.

I have a great idea.

Do you want to give it a go?

Hope you enjoy your abject humiliation,

Nam Han-jun.

I thought you said

you weren't angry with Mr. Nam--

I held back because I was in the wrong,

but I won't ever forget what he did.

I'm going to pay him back

for all that humiliation and indignity.

Right.

MINAMDANG

-…where you should be.

-What the heck?

A live stream?

Is this a set-up?

Nam Han-jun, you're f*cked--

FRAUDBUSTERS

IS MINAMDANG'S SHAMAN A FRAUD?

We're screwed.

GAMBLING ADDIC

It must have been so tough for you.

Yes, Mr. Shaman.

What should we do? Should we do

an exorcism or something?

No, you don't even need a talisman.

He was never haunted

in the first place.

Oh, what are you talking about?

I mean, he keeps talking nonsense

about how he can see his dead girlfriend.

Yes. It is nonsense.

There's no way he'd go surfing

when his girlfriend is dead.

My late girlfriend liked to surf.

How dare you!

How dare you keep up that shoddy act

in the presence of a god?

If you keep pretending to be haunted,

a real ghost will come for you.

I'm sorry. I was just doing

what I was told!

Please, forgive me.

You, on the other hand…

You're going to ruin your life

if you keep doing that.

-What?

-You're addicted to gambling.

Do you want to lose your job

and get divorced?

How did you…

What's gotten into him?

Maybe he really is a shaman.

Should I ask him to read my love fortune?

You're right, Mr. Shaman.

I want to stop too, but I can't seem to.

When I'm back to my senses,

I find myself in a gambling house.

What should I do, sir?

Well, there are ways,

but let's turn that camera off

for a start.

My image rights are very expensive.

Do you think you can afford it?

The camera?

LIVE BROADCAST HAS ENDED

What?

How did he know?

Well…

Maybe Mr. Nam really is a shaman.

That can't be it…

CAFÉ MINAMDANG

Thank you, Mr. Shaman. I will never

forget what you've done for me.

All right.

If something troubles you, drop in again.

Yes, sir.

Damn it. What's going on?

Ms. Yoon.

I knew it.

Detective Han. Sidekick.

You two were behind this, weren't you?

Are you referring to me

when you say "Sidekick"?

Who else would I be talking about?

Well, we're…

Well…

We heard the coffee here was good

and came to grab a cup.

Right!

I don't like the owner here

-but their desserts are wonderful.

-It's good. It really is.

Are you really going to lie

in front of a shaman?

Are you sure

you're not here to talk

to the capable Ms. Yoon

standing here?

Ms. Yoon.

I'm sorry, detective.

Bye.

Are you still going to deny it?

Fine. I sent her!

You kept interfering with my investigation

pretending to be a shaman,

-so I got angry--

-I was hoping it wouldn't be true.

My dear son really is a shaman.

Mom?

It wasn't Su-cheol.

It was you, Han-jun…

-My Lord.

-Mom!

Are you all right?

My Lord. My Dear Lord.

Mom.

What I'm most angry about is

not that you're a shaman,

but that my children all lied to me!

Ma'am. That's not it.

We didn't mean to lie to you.

Han-jun is--

So what happened is, Han-jun is trying--

Mom.

I'm sorry, but I have my principles.

It's slightly different

from what you want, but…

My Lord can't do this to me.

-My Lord.

-Hallelujah.

Mom.

Han-jun. My legs are cramping up.

Han-jun.

-Come on.

-What is it?

Let's just tell her the truth.

No.

If she finds out I'm doing this

to catch Gopuri,

she'll end up joining a prayer retreat.

So, did you talk to Kang Eun-hye's friend?

Yes. She said Eun-hye was a trainee

at Joyce Entertainment.

-Joyce Entertainment?

-Yes.

FEELM

PASSWORD

We're back.

We're back.

Give me the water.

Ma'am. I don't think we can

find the k*ller through her shoes.

The design has so many copies

that it's impossible to find

the manufacturer or where she bought it.

Do the two of you know

anything about Joyce Entertainment?

Joyce Entertainment?

Kang Eun-hye was a trainee there.

Every idol group

they produce ends up fizzling out…

I SAW EVERYTHING THAT DAY…

What's this person sorry about?

It came in just now.

I SAW EVERYTHING THAT DAY

BUT I WAS SCARED

AND PRETENDED I HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING

I'M SORRY, EUN-HYE

What was she scared of

and what did she pretend not to see?

The sender's account is private,

but the background of her profile photo

is the same as Kang's photo.

Joyce Entertainment studio?

Yes. The one who sent the DM

must be a trainee there too.

I should go see her.

But with Joyce Entertainment,

I don't think that'll be easy.

Park Jin-sang is the one

who owns the place.

The third son of Park Dong-gi,

the chairman of Choekang Insurance.

You mean that "Pain in the a*s"?

JOYCE ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR

PARK JIN-SANG

I feel disgusting

when you touch me.

I'm sorry, sir.

Get rid of this.

JOYCE ENTERTAINMEN

GU TAE-SU

He's been pretty quiet lately,

but he has an impressive criminal record

including DUIs, drunken assaults,

substance abuse, and philandering.

Also known as "Pain in the a*s."

PAIN IN THE a*s

He's a typical idiot conglomerate heir.

People even gave him a nickname.

A nickname?

They call him "Party Like Geenie"

because he parties like crazy.

SOBRIETY TESTS UNDERWAY

Wow.

Oh, my God!

Excuse me, we're doing sobriety tests.

Breathe into the machine.

It's 0.125. We're revoking your license.

Please, step outside.

Revoke my license?

What the hell are you talking about?

Do you know who I am?

I said, do you know who I am?

Officer Kim, Officer Lee, arrest him.

Arrest me? Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I am? Damn it.

Take him downtown.

Do you think I'm going down? Do you?

MC GEENIE

They also call him MC Geenie since

he kept repeating "Do you know who I am?"

He does have his human rights,

so I'll stop here.

They say like attracts like.

With Shin Gyeong-h* of S&H Group

and Cha Seung-won of Choekang Group,

they were called Three Mad Dogs.

And he's a director

He's out of his father's good graces,

and he can't just party all day.

But what's really strange is…

Joyce Entertainment.

Most of their contracts have expired,

and they don't make any money.

They're losing money every quarter.

Their stocks are worthless.

They should have gone bankrupt already,

but amazingly enough,

they received a lot of investments.

They've just got that one girl group

in the works though.

Yes. One thing's for sure.

Kang Eun-hye was in deeper

with Joyce Entertainment than we thought.

I hacked into her messenger account,

and the last person she messaged was

the director of Joyce Entertainment.

That's quite a message.

He sounds like a pimp.

If it's true, we should beat him to death

whether he's Gopuri or not.

Find out first where

Park Jin-sang is right now.

PARK JIN-SANG PROFILE

Excuse me.

Help.

Help.

What took you so long?

I almost died.

What are you doing here?

You know her, right?

A trainee at your company

was found dead in the sewers.

Damn it.

We have so many trainees.

How am I supposed to know who that is?

Really?

Then give me all the information

you have on her.

Why should I?

So what if you're a prosecutor?

Bring a warrant, you punk.

How's uncle?

Is he well?

What about Dad?

You made him go through all that

at the Prosecutor's Office.

-It still makes me--

-That's why.

I did that to Uncle.

What do you think I'd do to you?

What do you think?

Send me the data

if you don't want to become a suspect.

Or maybe I should ransack

Joyce Entertainment first.

I'll send it over.

I will.

I will, you scumbag.

Okay.

I need to speak to you

in person right now.

Right, there he comes.

I wonder where he's going in such a hurry.

He does look like he's in a hurry.

-Keep your distance.

-Okay.

Tail him.

Got it.

Stop it!

I think there's something behind me!

We're going to quietly sneak in

and find out what's happening in there…

Why aren't you coming?

You first.

Han-jun.

-Elders first. You go first.

-No, please.

Isn't that Kang Eun-hye's picture?

Death came for me.

What are they doing?

And I couldn't escape it.

What shall I do with this body?

Gopuri…

Do you think he really is Gopuri?

Do you see a burn scar on his wrist?

Wait.

It's dark so I can't see.

Oh, gosh.

You…

Steamed rice cake.

Beef.

Apples and jujubes.

Bananas.

Bananas.

I want to have bananas. I want bananas.

Damn it, why does that idiot want bananas

at a time like this?

You! You're sullying the ceremony!

You fool! What good is a ritual

if you cannot recognize the god you host?

What's that crazy b*stard doing?

General?

But what are you doing in that body?

General? What are you talking about?

I think the general

picked the wrong person to possess.

Serve better food next time!

I hate to come

when there's nothing good to eat!

-I'm sorry, General.

-I'm sorry!

I'll be off then.

-What?

-He's going?

-I'll be back.

-But you only got here…

You can't leave.

-Wait, General!

-General…

-Gosh.

-Do something.

He's off his rockers.

General!

General!

The bananas were the only thing

I could use to hide my face.

Yes, that was some fast thinking.

Nice job, Kong Su-cheol.

Thanks.

I need to check for myself

if Park Jin-sang is Gopuri.

What? How?

Through my VIP client.

Yes, it's me.

There's something I need to ask you.

Just a phone call would've sufficed.

What's with this fuss?

But this is the only way

I get to see your face these days.

But what is it?

Are you accepting my proposal?

No, not that.

-You know Park Jin-sang, right?

-I do.

Why? Do you want me

to introduce you to him?

He said he won't cooperate

without a warrant.

Damn it.

Hey, Detective Na.

Hand over the case?

Be methodical, okay?

Make sure you search every corner.

-Ma'am, what do we do now?

-Hey, that's a different case.

-Is that Ms. Han?

-This isn't right.

-No.

-Give me that.

Come on. This isn't it.

Yes, the Choi Yeong-seop case

will go to division three.

You'll join the ill*gal Election

Activities Regulation Division.

Sir! It hasn't been a week yet.

Give that to me.

Chief. I mean, Cheol-geun.

Why are you doing this again?

Who pressured you this time?

-Why would you do this to us--

-Hello?

The reception at the station

is really bad…

Jeez.

Lieutenant Han.

Let's go rogue big time.

What can he do to us

if we catch the k*ller first?

He's the chief, so what?

You're right.

Undercover operations

are the heart of investigations.

Let's take on the challenge.

TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE

AND BECOME A STAR WITH JOYCE ENTERTAINMEN

Here. Take this.

What is this?

It's a gift from the boss.

When we flex, we go at it together.

Thank you, sir.

Sure.

Shall we get going too?

That's our Na-dan.

He really stands out in the crowd.

You better be careful.

Wait for me.

I have the CCTV and gained access

to Joyce Entertainment's server.

I'm ready!

Jeez.

Can I get a picture with you?

Of course.

Na-dan. I told you to blend in.

I can't control it. I just shine.

This way.

Do you think you can go

and put the bug in the office?

Good job.

Okay.

Mr. Kim Sang-hyeop and Mr. Na Gwang-tae?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Your style is quite… Can I see your IDs?

-Oh, yes. Our IDs.

-Our IDs.

-Here.

-Yes.

NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

Police?

Oh! Oops! My mistake.

-Sorry.

-Here, another ID.

My resident registration card. Why?

-Why are you dragging us?

-Why?

We can rap, sing, dance…

-Why? Rap, dance

-Everybody can audition. Why can't we?

-Why?

-Why?

-The plan's been ruined.

-Holy sh*t.

How about this?

-What should we do?

-Why?

I knew they'd mess it up.

Let's get ready.

What?

I knew you'd have a way.

Right.

Me too?

I'm not doing it alone.

-Jenny, Jinny!

-Jenny, Jinny!

-Jenny, Jinny!

-Jenny, Jinny!

Mr. Shaman.

Nice to meet you.

I'm g*ng Hae-seong, the CEO.

I've heard a lot about you from Ms. Lee.

Pick out our future K-Wave stars.

You must be the big shot here.

Yes, right.

Nice to meet you.

You're hurt.

I sprained it while playing golf.

You should've been careful.

You have three misfortunes this year.

Well, one's gone by,

and seeing as how you even did a ritual

to prevent misfortune…

How did you know that?

A misfortune that worsens with time…

One will go to your family,

and in the end,

it will reach you.

Is there a way to stop it?

There is.

You need to trust me completely.

What is it?

I found someone suspicious,

so I brought them here.

They're police detectives.

She wouldn't come to practice

and didn't answer my calls,

so I thought she quit.

Is Eun-hye really dead?

Did you see anyone suspicious around her?

Someone she was afraid to meet,

or someone that scared her

whenever they called.

Something like that.

I'm not sure.

Then, by any chance…

do you know this person?

-They seem to be a trainee here.

-This is…

Detective?

-Who's that?

-He's the youngest at Minamdang.

Damn that shaman and his idiots.

It is you! What are you

doing here, detective?

Did he just call you a detective?

Bring them in.

Unbelievable.

Come on, let go of me.

Mr. Shaman!

Do you know them? Who are you people?

You fool!

You cast doubt on those

who would save you?

You'll never stop

the misfortune like this.

Well, I was just…

-You.

-Yes?

I remember getting rid of a ghost

that was haunting you.

-How are your shoulders?

-They're great.

I feel light as a feather.

And you were an aspiring actress.

I told you to give up the role

since being a detective doesn't suit you.

You mean that crime drama audition?

Detective Lee Jae-han.

This is Lieutenant Park Hae-yeong.

This is Detective Lee Jae-han, right?

We can change the past.

That's from Signal!

-Bingo!

-Okay!

but you don't know that show?

I'm pretty busy…

But today's audition isn't for actors.

Today…

we're here to audition to become an idol.

You don't mind if they go first, do you?

I guess it's okay.

I'm dying to see how good you are.

JUDGE

What does your father do?

I don't have one.

I live with my grandmother.

Then, should we talk to her

about your contract?

-I don't want to join your company.

-What?

Then why did you audition?

Here!

A Jo Na-dan invention!

Shoe inserts for dancers!

They can be yours for just 10,000 won!

You're here to sell those?

Yes. I already sold 20 of them

to the people who came to audition.

You did?

You can't handle him.

Jo Na-dan, out!

Okay, out!

Out!

Okay then, shall we move on

to the next applicant?

Your team's called "Jenny and Jinny"?

Yes.

Ms. Han Jenny?

Hello!

My name is Han Jenny.

Gosh.

I'm Du Jinny.

Music, please.

I'm out of prison now.

Give me a call.

Lieutenant Nam.

He's the cop from three years ago.

What should we do?

It's me. Be careful.

We are looking for idols,

so they're out, right?

You're in!

-What?

-We're in!

Okay, we're in!

Sir.

GET RID OF HIM IMMEDIATELY

MINAMDANG

EPILOGUE

They're so pretty.

Try them on.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Subtitle translation by: Jung-in Park

I'll find that friend for you.

In return, help me.

How are we going

to work together like this?

Well, something weird happened.

The culprit must have hidden it there.

I found where the buyer is.

I'm just as offended.

Let's just keep going

our separate ways.

Expedition gambling and high school girls…

They call it a streaming service,

but it's pretty much a porn studio.

Why are you so fixated on this case?

I'm an officer of the law.

There's no way I'm losing to you!

Did someone with a burn scar

on his arm put you up to this?
