[Episode 3]
[exhales]
- [man 1] Hello.
- [Detective Lee] Hi.
[sighs]
You're going to stare a hole through it.
This isn't a test, so take it easy.
This is going to be a long one,
so brace yourself. Go home.
Sir, take a look at this.
What? What is it?
[sighs deeply]
Oh, it's that case.
The one where the dad was k*lled...
in front of his daughter
on Christmas night.
[Young Do] He abused his wife and kid...
and ended up stabbing his wife to death
with a soju bottle.
Then seven years later,
right after he was released,
he tried to k*ll his daughter as well?
That information about the daughter
wasn't released to the press.
She was still a minor at the time,
and possibly... [sighs]
a witness.
A witness? You mean she saw Kingfisher?
Hey, if she'd seen him, do you think
we'd still be completely in the dark?
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [clicks tongue, sighs]
Then again, who knows. [sighs]
Whether she really saw nothing,
or she's just keeping quiet.
The daughter's name was Oh something.
Hang on.
[Incident Report]
[paper rustling]
[sighs heavily]
[suspenseful music continues]
Are you crazy? What are you...
I guess you really don't want me to die.
The one and only witness
to Kingfisher's sniping.
The only child I ever showed my face to.
It's been a while, Oh Seung Ah.
[snickers]
[music fades]
Merry Christmas, Yu Bo Na.
Where are the presents?
I'm sure Santa Claus will bring them.
[tuts]
- [Bo Na] You think so?
- [shop owner] You never know.
He's known for having a clear sense
of right and wrong.
You've got it wrong too.
You're a terrible boss
for making me work on a day like this.
It's not like you have anything
better to do.
Got any friends? A boyfriend? Family?
Just cooped up in a place like this
all by yourself.
But these are all romance comics?
Are you seeing someone lately?
You should head home early.
Your kids are waiting for you.
It's not like a few days
will matter for a b*stard like him.
That b*stard...
could k*ll someone.
[pensive music playing]
But don't you think he could have changed?
He's still her father.
I know.
To second-guess things
but hold on to hope until the very end.
That's the Yu Bo Na way.
If you want to observe him
for a few more days, go ahead.
Just don't miss your window.
It's cold out, so take a hand warmer.
I'm leaving.
[Crime Scene, Residence At The Time]
[Oh Seung Ah's Daily Route]
[2011 Christmas Flea Market]
[pensive music continues]
[Hyun Nam] I thought that day would be
the last day of my life,
my last Christmas.
That's what I was thinking.
I thought I'd never see this again.
Either I'd die...
or I'd k*ll.
[Bo Na] Right, that must have been why.
Because I could hear your heart.
Do you want a Christmas present?
[sighs]
[inhales deeply]
[Hyun Nam] Then you can't cry.
You have to be good.
I heard that Santa fellow
has a very clear sense of right and wrong.
Who are you?
When you get home,
leave the living room window
open a little.
Let's see each other again.
[Young Do] Manager Yu,
what do you think you're doing?
What are you trying to do,
showing your face like that?
[sighs heavily]
Does she think she's Santa?
She doesn't even know what I wished for.
[sighs]
[Hyun Nam]
I prayed that I would die sooner.
I begged that if there was a god,
to please let me escape from this hell.
Right at that moment...
[b*llet whizzes]
- [thuds]
- [coughing]
[gasping]
...a god really did appear.
[crying]
[Bo Na] The reason I came back.
The reason I do this work.
Hoping that I can save even one person.
Hoping someone will be safe
because of this.
You knew...
[tense music playing]
You knew everything from the beginning,
so why?
Because I was disappointed.
That girl...
I hoped she'd be like everyone else.
I wanted her to be ordinary and happy,
but she wasn't.
I didn't like the choice you made.
[sobs] I...
I wanted to be like you.
[sobbing continues]
I wanted to stand beside you one day,
and that one dream is why I've worked
myself to death until now.
[sighs]
You shouldn't have.
You should have just gone your own way.
Down a safe and bright path.
[sniffles]
[sniffling continues]
But you said we'd see each other again.
What?
We'll see each other again.
No, I just meant
that I hoped you'd be safe.
I don't know about that.
Anyway, you have to take responsibility.
Me? You're still just a kid.
What's with you?
You were the gift I desperately wanted.
[Hyun Nam] You're my Santa Claus.
The savior of my life.
[pensive music playing]
[sighs]
So take responsibility.
And you're the one who drugged my husband?
It wasn't poison, just a sleeping pill.
Would Kingfisher really be fooled
by something like that?
I knew it was a sleeping pill.
If you knew, why did you bring a g*n?
The b*ll*ts were real too.
And you were really sh**ting.
That's because you messed with someone
you shouldn't have.
Darn it.
Such a troublemaker.
[scoffs]
[Bo Na] You've been busy.
So this is when it started?
You didn't like the choice I made either?
About six years ago.
[6 Years Ago]
- [Hyun Nam] I saw you by chance.
- [Tae Sung] Honey.
I recognized you at a glance.
[chuckles softly]
I haven't forgotten you
for a single day since then.
It felt like my heart
had a hole punched through it.
The person who was a god
and a hero to me...
seemed to have become
just an ordinary, weak woman.
You're definitely an anti-fan.
So?
I want to turn you back.
Back into the old Kingfisher.
Back into the person I used to know.
You're a troublemaker, all right.
I thought I told you.
You made your choice,
and I told you I respect it.
Even if I don't like it, it's your life.
I just did my job,
and how you lived your life after that
was your choice to make.
[loudly] But Kingfisher is...
You seem to be misunderstanding something.
If I'm your savior,
the one who saved Kingfisher
was Kwon Tae Sung.
It was him.
That man...
Did he save your life?
He saved something much bigger.
And I received an even greater gift.
[gentle music playing]
[moans softly]
It's Yu Bo Na.
Honey, do you know
where you are right now?
A cafe.
[chuckles]
In all my life...
Not even a bar, but a cafe...
They called me to come pick up my husband
because they were closing.
What is going on?
[exclaims in shock]
Did I fall asleep? Why? How?
[chuckles softly]
But... When did I fall asleep?
[Tae Sung] It's nighttime.
- [sighs]
- [gasps]
Our date...
Well, our date's over.
What are you going to do about this?
I'm sorry. I...
I'll do all the dishes for one month.
I'm really sorry.
And you think that will be enough?
It won't?
I'll also take Yul
to daycare for one month.
I'm really sorry.
Okay. I'll take your offer.
And for one month,
you'll read one storybook
to Yul every day.
Okay, okay. Deal.
- Okay?
- [Tae Sung] Okay.
- Deal.
- I'm really sorry.
We wasted all this precious time
because of me.
Really, I'll make it up to you.
I'll make it up to you big time.
[chuckles]
What are you going to do?
Honey, I'm so embarrassed. Let's just go.
Se Ah keeps calling. Get up, quickly.
- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Can you walk?
- Yes.
If that had been real poison,
you would have k*lled me.
Manager Yu.
If I catch you calling me that at work,
you're dead.
[gasps]
- [Bo Na weakly] At work.
- [pensive music playing]
At work.
So I'll see you at work?
[giggles]
[breathes deeply]
[Hyun Nam] Is your family really worth
risking your life for?
- Two, three.
- Two, three.
Mom, I'm hungry.
Are you hungry, Yul?
It's time to eat, Yul. Right?
Since we're out,
should we eat before going home?
Honey, your mom's radish kimchi
turned out amazing.
I just thought you might be tired.
- You were worried I might be tired?
- Yes.
Honey, look at the flowers.
Aren't they beautiful?
- You're more beautiful. Yes.
- Really?
- Is Mommy prettier than the flowers?
- [Yul] Yes.
- [Bo Na] Really?
- [Tae Sung] Of course.
[Bo Na] Your question was wrong.
It's not about risking my life.
My family is my life.
[sighs]
[can clicks]
So in the end, she saved someone.
If it weren't for Kingfisher,
that girl would've died.
So the bottom line is...
Man, that's just so awesome.
That's why he has over
a million fans, right?
[groans]
Hey, get a grip.
Is that how a detective should talk?
I'm sorry.
Look, it's true that all the victims
Kingfisher k*lled were criminals.
But does that justify m*rder or not?
- It doesn't.
- The law is a social contract.
By breaking that contract,
does that b*stard have the right
to personally judge someone, yes or no?
- No, he doesn't.
- Is it our job as cops...
to catch a b*stard like that or not?
- We have to.
- How?
Well?
That's the bottom line. Got it?
[exclaims]
[huffs] Get a grip. Snap out of it.
Hey.
Thank you.
Dig through all the files.
All the way to the last case
from four years ago.
[Detective Lee] You'll see
a whole other side of Kingfisher.
[can clicks]
[intriguing music playing]
Hey, hey. Don't go too deep in there.
There are snakes.
You have to dig deep to get anything good.
The really good ones...
always hide from people.
[music intensifies]
[exclaims in shock] What? What is that?
- Is that a snake?
- Over there, over there...
[exclaims] Oh my.
[woman 1] Call the police. Hurry.
[Not Today]
[Social Affairs Desk]
[I'd report a tip about Kingfisher.
Tomorrow 3 p.m., Lafi Cafe]
Excuse me, did anyone come looking for me
while I was asleep?
You're asking if someone came
while you were sleeping?
Yes.
Well, I don't think I saw anyone.
A tip about Kingfisher?
You scared me.
Seriously, stop sneaking up on me.
- If it isn't my old buddy, Kwon Tae Sung.
- Come on.
So you've latched onto
the Kingfisher case after all.
I knew it.
A swallow can't just pass by the mill.
[scoffs]
It's a sparrow, not a swallow.
If I got it and thought it was usable,
I was going to pass it on
to the reporter in charge.
What is it?
What is it? Is it big? A scoop?
Did that person really not show up?
Or did they come and I just missed them?
I haven't heard from them since.
Was it just a prank?
What are you mumbling about?
But why is my colleague
from the Economics Department, Ko Ji Su...
always slacking off
instead of doing his job?
[chuckles]
He got stood up.
Totally stood up. [laughs]
Hey, how can this guy talk about
being stood up by a source...
with the straight face of our Director?
[laughs]
Get out of here, you jerk.
Cheer up. You got this.
[Social Affairs Desk]
Hello, good morning.
Hello, good morning.
Look at her.
- Hello.
- Good morning.
She's so cheerful. She has no idea
what her boss is like.
[Not Today: In-Depth News]
- Good morning.
- Hey.
Hello.
Tae Sung, I didn't know what you'd like,
so I got one of everything.
Pick whichever one you want.
I'll take this one. Thanks, Hae Na.
I'm fine. I already have a drink.
That's not good.
Thanks for the drink, Hae Na.
Tae Sung is so lucky.
Thanks, Hae Na.
- Thanks, Hae Na.
- You're the best, Hae Na.
[sighs]
[Tae Sung] Reporter Koo Hae Na.
Yes.
This is a list of potential stories
I've put together for us to cover.
Take a look and let me know
if any of them interest you.
What?
We focus on in-depth reporting
rather than straight news,
so our investigations
take a little longer.
We'll do the reporting together
and split writing the articles.
Okay.
For a reporter,
your research and your articles...
are how you prove yourself.
You know that, right?
[playful music playing]
What was that about?
What a mysterious guy,
running so hot and cold.
[Accidents Act, Site Checks,
Released Child Offenders]
[Prison Overcrowding And Parole]
When a reporter is digging deep
into a case or a person...
and then suddenly drops it all,
it's one of two things.
Either they were paid off,
or they were threatened.
Who was paid off or threatened?
[clicks tongue]
[sighs deeply]
If it were me, I'd take the money.
But he doesn't seem like the type
to be swayed by either.
[Not Today: In-Depth News]
[Ji Su] But it looks like
the spark isn't dead yet.

[Client List]

Gold.
[Gold: Used money and power

[White: Targeted children and adolescents]
[Dr. Go] Black.
Gray.
Finish.
[suspenseful music playing]
Of course, Detective Lee is here.
Yes.
You got pulled in
because of your record, right?
Thanks for your work on this.
- Record? What record?
- You didn't know?
Five years ago, he took down
the Oh Seon Il organ trafficking ring.
That was all Detective Lee.
[exclaims]
That case was huge back then. Incredible.
So that's why the chief...
Are they missing this time too?
Yes, they are gone.
[doctor] Lungs, heart, liver, kidneys,
and pancreas.
They took them all.
Judging by the rate of decomposition,
it's been about 3 or 4 weeks.
Well, they could have buried him
in the winter,
and it could have been uncovered
when the weather got warmer.
[sighs deeply]
I thought things had quieted down.
[sighs] Still,
to think they roughly stitched him up
before dumping him...
[doctor] This isn't a game.
[doctor inhales sharply]
These guys seem even more vicious
than the last ones.
Detective Lee,
you've got your work cut out for you.
Yes.
Beom, what's our first step?
The victim was hiking Mount Taegong
when he was reported missing.
So I'll check with the precinct in charge
about the original investigation.
Do that. And secure the CCTV footage
from the hiking trail at the time.
Yes. And as for Mount Cheongri
where the body was found,
I'll request their assistance
with the canvass.
Hey, Beom.
You seem excited.
[Forensic Imaging Lab]
Well, there's a lot to dig into
with this one.
And these guys are b*stards,
so it'll be satisfying to catch them.
[scoffs]
Check if there are any other
missing persons cases...
reported around Mount Taegong.
And search the database...
to see if there have been
any similar bodies found recently.
What? Why is that?
Someone who went missing
in Gangwon Province...
was found secretly buried in Seoul.
They wouldn't go to all that trouble
to get rid of just one person.
Oh.
Hey, Beom, go wait in the car.
I have to stop by somewhere first.
Okay.
[Clinical Laboratory, Histopathology Lab]
Let's do this!
- You're here?
- Of course.
[Hyun Nam clears throat]
Oh, my. Hey.
[door closes]
Manager Yu, good morning.
Yes, Ms. Oh Hyun Nam.
- [Dr. Go] You're here?
- [Bong Pal] Yes.
[grunts]
[Bong Pal] Let's see here.
My, my, we have four submissions today?
Black, Gray, and Gold.
It's been a while,
but White is here too.
[clanks]
[intriguing music playing]
All right, all right.
The new Client List is in,
so let's have a productive meeting.
- Yes, sir.
- Okay.
My goodness.
Someone go get Bong Tae Min.
Wow, this Client is a bit much, right?
- The next ones aren't any easier.
- This month is going to be so tough.
I'll go get him.
I will.
I'll be right back.
That room is basically
a chemical hazard zone.
Will she be okay?
We should have given her a mask.
She's been trained with all sorts
of chemicals, so if anything...
She might enjoy it.
Three.
Two.
[retches]
Darn it.
[playful music playing]
Darn.
[laughter]
[breathes heavily]
[slurps]
[police]
This is the work of a top-class expert.
You could even call it genius.
I did some digging,
and as expected,
there are no g*ns in the country...
that use this kind of b*llet.
I can't even find any abroad.
That means someone
must have custom-made it.
It's been that way since the first case.
It looked like the b*llet was
different this time,
so I asked just in case.
It means they upgrade their equipment
every few years.
But for a technician
of that Special S-Class caliber...
there's no way I wouldn't know about them.
Could Kingfisher be making
the g*ns himself?
No, I don't think
he's making them himself.
True, considering the times we live in.
He must have a smart helper or two.
It could be 1 or 2,
or it could be a whole team.
And just like you said, sir,
they could all be Special S-Class experts.
[snickers]
[elevator dings]
She'll be right back out.
[laughter]
[awkward silence]
[Young Do] Don't get on.
- [Young Do] Don't get on.
- [Bo Na] Don't get on.
- [Ye Sol] Don't get on.
- [Dr. Go] Let's not get on.
- [Bong Pal] Gosh, what a weasel.
- It's not crowded. Let's get on.
[quirky music playing]
- [staff 1] Excuse me.
- [staff 2] Coming through.
- [staff 3] We're getting on.
- [staff 4] Excuse me. Excuse me.
[sighs]
I see a new face.
Well, she is...
the rookie who joined my team.
I see. The one who just joined?
Wow, what bad luck.
For a salesperson, it's important
to get off on the right foot.
Well, the timing is good, at least.
You know we've set a date for
the entire Sales Team workshop, right?
Team Leader Bong, I'm counting on you.
[exclaims, chuckles awkwardly]
Of course.
[sighs] Does just adding more people
improve our sales numbers?
Even with a small, elite team...
It's about skills.
The 1-shot, 1-k*ll sales technique
of silently closing in,
striking, and getting out.
[soft laughter]
Should I set a date and give
a special lecture or something?
- I know, right?
- [director] Enjoy your lunch.
[Hyun Nam] That jerk. My goodness.
Hey, hey. Let's go get some food.
Here.
[cheering, clapping]
This is great. Hey, get a three-tier cake.
- I'll take care of that.
- As expected.
[female staff]
Yes, I'll prepare a three-tier cake.
[Bong Pal]
You need to understand, Hyun Nam.
In sales,
your performance is your rank and status.
It must be hard working here, right?
Right? [chuckles]
Speaking of which, Team Leader.
Since our sales numbers are fake anyway,
- do we have to be last place every time?
- What...
I mean, we don't have to be number one,
- but maybe third place sometimes...
- Hey.
[clicks tongue]
So many people are working their tails off
just to sell one more fan.
It's right for us to be at the bottom.
We can't disrespect the people
who work so hard every day.
[Ye Sol] Right.
Then for next month,
I'll post a negative value...
based on the lowest numbers
from each team.
[chuckles]
But do we really have to
go to the workshop?
Isn't that a bit much?
[Bong Pal] Normally, we wouldn't go.
We don't go, but this time,
since Hyun Nam just joined...
It's just the way it is, you know?
It's a team-building event, and we can all
get some fresh air for a change.
I think it's a good opportunity.
Don't you know a workshop is
an extension of work?
[quirky music playing]
Like we have anything to talk about
with fan salespeople.
[Bo Na] That sounds fun.
I've never been to one.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I can't wait to go.
[clears throat]
But are you okay with that, Manager Yu?
It's an overnight trip.
[Bong Pal] That's true.
[employees] Let's go.
[Durumi Electronics]
Wow, Team Leader Kim,
that actually looks good on you.
Really? I'll give it to you
after the workshop.
Still, wearing matching outfits
makes it feel...
like we're really going on a trip, right?
[phone buzzing]
[Yul] Mom.
Yul. Are you off to daycare now?
- [Yul] Yes.
- Yul and I just finished getting ready.
We're heading out. Let's go.
[giggling]
Oh, but honey,
are you sure you'll be okay on your own?
Maybe I should call Se Ah
and ask her to help out tonight?
It's fine. I can handle it on my own.
Don't worry about us
and just go have a great time.
Okay, thank you. I will.
Sweetheart, why don't you say
"have a good trip" to Mom?
Mom, when are you coming back?
Yul, that's not what we talked about.
Sweetie, I'm only staying for one night.
Just one night.
I told you, remember? Right?
Yes? Yul?
You'll be a good girl for Dad
while I'm away, right?
Mom, where are you going?
Well...
Honey, just a second.
Yul, you have to do what we practiced.
Sweetheart, say goodbye to your mom.
Mom, have a safe trip.
- [laughs softly]
- [Tae Sung] A big salute.
Salute.
Salute. I'm heading out.
Bye, Yul.
Okay.
Gosh, that's so sad.
She must be feeling awful.
This is probably the first time
she's been so far away from her kid.
[soft music playing]
Yes! I'm free now.
Okay, let's do this.
[Bo Na] Let's go.
[upbeat cheerful music playing]
All right, let's get going.
Let's go, let's go.
- [man 1] What did you eat yesterday?
- [camera shutter clicks]
[man 2] I had gopchang.
[man 1] Must've been good.
Don't breathe on me.
Sir.
- Yes?
- Look over here.
Let me in.
- Okay, look over here.
- My goodness.
Let me just take one picture.
- Make sure you send it to me.
- Okay, I will.
[loud snoring]
[Durumi Electronics Workshop]
[2026 Durumi Electronics
Sales Team Workshop]
[upbeat cheerful music swells, then ends]
[reporter on radio] In the Habaek City
area of Gangwon Province,
we're reporting on a series
of disappearances.
Beginning with a hiker on Mount Taegong,
in his 50s, a Mr. Kim
who went missing last winter,
a total of seven people
have now disappeared.
To find the missing persons,
police have decided to deploy
all available personnel to the area
for a massive search
and inspection operation.
After reviewing all of the CCTV footage
from the time of the disappearances,
we only have footage
of the victims entering.
There's no one seen leaving...
or anyone who could be considered
a suspect.
In other words, this means
they know the CCTV locations so well...
that it must be the work of people
who know this area inside and out.
Therefore, it's highly likely...
that their base of operations
is also nearby.
Considering there are many
accommodation facilities in this area,
we believe their base
must be located here.
[Taegong Police Station]
[Detective Lee]
Team One, within the search perimeter,
will thoroughly search the interiors
and surroundings of all lodging.
Team Two will cover the perimeter...
to prepare for any unexpected events
or escape attempts...
and will check all suspicious vehicles
coming in and out.
[Old Man Pension]
[gentle, cheerful music playing]
Man, you just have to get outdoors.
- Gosh, this is great.
- This is nice.
- [man] What? It's great, right?
- [woman] Yes, it is.
- Oh, my.
- Goodness.
- The view is incredible.
- Oh, it really is nice.
[laughs]
Oh, welcome. Please come in.
You must be tired from your long journey.
All right.
Oh, it's so good to see you all.
I hope you have a comfortable stay
while you're here.
[all] Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
All right, listen up.
Go to your assigned rooms,
unpack your things,
rest up a bit, and by two o'clock...
- By what time?
- Two o'clock.
- Two o'clock.
- Two o'clock.
- By two o'clock, come to...
- [phone ringing]
Oh, Mom. I will call you back in a bit.
Meet at the recreation area by 2:00 p.m.
Okay, let's go.
[all cheer]
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
The air is so nice.
[subdued tense music playing]
- Excuse me, I have a few questions.
- Yes, go ahead.
Have you seen suspicious people recently,
or have you had a lot of visitors
or anything like that?
There are about 80 lodging facilities
in the entire Mount Taegong area.
Excluding the large resorts and hotels,
there are about 65 private villas,
pensions, and guest houses.
What if we narrow it down
to the more remote or isolated places?
[police] That would be about 30 places.
This is going to take longer
than I thought.
Right now, our best option is to conduct
a thorough search, even if it takes time.
Yes, I understand.
- [all cheering]
- [energetic music playing]
[Durumi Sales Team Workshop]
Turn! Turn!
[Ye Sol] Turn! Turn!
- Hey, why did you fall?
- Get up, get up.
- Hey, hey, hands. One, two.
- You can do it.
[Young Do screams]
Hey, did he just fall on his own?
[Dr. Go] Hey, hey, please.
Let's go.
[groans]
- [whistle blowing]
- [employees cheering]
[all cheer, scream]
Is Ki Young Do always this bad?
- 56, 57, 58, 59, and 60.
- 56, 57, 58, 59, and 60.
[all cheer]
- Spin it. Spin it.
- Spin it. Spin it.
[all cheer]
- 101, 102, 103, 104.
- That's too much. Stop it already!
- 105, 106, 107.
- 105, 106, 107.
And 108.
[laughs]
[dramatic orchestral music playing]
Team Three!
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
[rock music playing]
One, two, three.
- [Young Do groans in pain]
- [all cheer, jeer]
- [Bong Pal] This is just practice, right?
- [Hyun Nam] Use your eyes.
- Okay, okay. One more time.
- Thanks.
[laughs awkwardly]
- All right, Team Three!
- [rock music playing]
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
- Good.
- Let's go.
One, two, three.
One. Two.
[all scream]
[Bong Pal] Darn it.
Go, you fool!
All right.
Hey, if you mess up again,
I swear I will...
Got it.
Let's go!
[whistle blows]
All right, let's go.
- One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two.
- Why is this so fun?
- One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two.
- Let's go faster.
- Faster, faster!
Gosh, I've never seen
such a disorganized bunch.
No wonder their performance is so low.
- Hurry, get up. Get up. Let's go.
- Two.
- One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two.
This is so much fun!
- One, two.
- This is fun.
- One, two, one, two.
- My goodness.
[guffaws]
What are they...
What are they doing?
[employee 1] Let's eat.
We deserve it after doing
so well in the game.
- [music ends]
- [laughs]
[laughs loudly]
- [camera shutter clicks]
- Eat up.
[laughter]
[Bong Pal laughing]
All right, everyone, grab a piece of meat.
Let's have a toast.
- To Sales Team Three.
- To Sales Team Three.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Team Leader Han.
[laughs] This beef...
[laughing continues]
- That looks tasty.
- My goodness.
What a waste. [laughs]
[exaggerated groan of satisfaction]
Thanks to you, Manager Yu,
we get to eat this premium Korean beef.
Thank you so much.
[lighthearted, upbeat music playing]
I can do this!
Get lost!
[all laugh]
Manager Yu.
Go for it.
[Grade 1 Double Plus Korean Beef]
[sales team three scream, cheer]
[sizzles]
[Bong Pal] When was the last time
I had beef like this?
- Gosh.
- I know.
Anyway, thanks to Manager Yu,
it's been a great day.
[sales team three laugh]
We can't even get this at company dinners,
so eating it here...
I'm truly moved.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Our budget is always stretched thin.
- Is it?
[laughs]
By the way, where's
Assistant Manager Ki? [puzzled grunt]
He said he had to go somewhere
and that we should start without him.
But we're having beef.
[ominous music playing]
[insects chirping]
Found it.
[groans in pain]
Honestly, for people like us,
we should be thanking Kingfisher.
It's not like he goes after
innocent people.
He only picks off the bad guys.
That's why I'm rooting for Kingfisher.
- Me too.
- I hope Kingfisher never gets caught.
[woman] Should we make a toast?
- All right.
- Give me a break.
Hey, who is this Kingfisher?
Is he some kind of crusader for justice?
If you ask me, that b*stard is just
a psychopathic attention seeker.
- That son of a...
- Sit down.
[Han] It's always the pathetic,
weak little losers...
who pull stuff like that from the shadows.
The only reason you don't see it
is that his victims are criminals.
How is that different from a psychopath?
He's just another murdering b*stard
who gets off on k*lling people.
And whoever came up with the name,
it's so childish.
What the hell is a Kingfisher?
[all laugh]
King Putz would be better.
[all laugh]
And I'm usually such a neat person.
What? Is it that late already?
All right, the night is getting on,
so let's get this party started.
Team representatives, come on out.
Let's go!
There goes Team Leader Han,
up to his old tricks again. Right?
[team cheering, clapping]
[ominous music builds]
[music fades]
[doorbell ringing]
- [door opens]
- [door lock chimes]
Mom, what are you doing here at this hour?
You didn't even call.
What, am I not allowed to be here?
A mother can visit her son's house
whenever she wants.
- Grandma.
- Oh, my sweet girl.
[giggles]
I came because I couldn't stop
thinking about you.
I was worried about whether
my darlings were eating properly.
[sparkling chimes]
You've got a lot here.
[zipper unzips]
Yul's mom prepared it all.
Mom, you know what she's like.
If you haven't eaten, join us.
No, I already ate...
Well, I did eat, but...
She said you made half
of these side dishes.
That's what she told me.
She said our family of three
would've starved without you.
- She really said that?
- [whimsical music playing]
She said your cooking is the best.
She said she's upset
because she tries to copy it but can't.
You should've opened a side dish shop,
not a chicken place.
My gosh.
But still.
A woman with a husband and child,
leaving home when she's
barely been back at work.
- And she's not even away for work, right?
- Mom, a workshop is still...
It's technically an extension of her job.
Work? Don't be ridiculous.
At those things,
people just get completely wasted...
and fool around drinking with the men.
You think Yul's mom
is that kind of person?
Oh, you doting fool.
- You think you know everything about her?
- Of course I do. I'm her husband.
Mom, she doesn't really drink.
While other people were
going on dates to bars,
we had strawberry shakes on our dates.
[bold music playing]
- Drink! All right, all right.
- Go, go. Come on, Manager.
[team cheering]
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
- [team cheering]
- [clappers clacking]
- Hey! What are you doing, Mr. Kim!
- My goodness.
[all clamoring]
[team gasp, exclaim]
Not bad, Manager Yu.
Let's go again.
All right.
Manager Yu said she doesn't drink...
That she stopped after she got married.
[Bong Pal] She can drink like a fish.
Wow, she's really letting loose today.
How did she hold back all this time?
[team gasp, chatter]
[all gasp in awe]
Manager Yu,
you've got a k*ller set of skills.
I am pretty k*ller.
All right.
[team cheering]
Snacks.
[bold music continues]
All right.
[chokes, coughs]
- No spilling.
- [team cheering]
Amazing.
[smug laugh]
Would you look at that?
All right.
[team scream]
- Team Leader Han.
- Team Leader Han.
Oh, come on, get up.
- I guess I have to drink this too.
- [Bong Pal] Yu Bo Na.
- Manager Yu.
- [sales team three] Yu Bo Na.
- Manager Yu.
- [sales team three] Yu Bo Na. Yes!
Hey. [laughs]
- Manager Yu? Are you okay?
- What?
- I asked if you're okay.
- What?
- It's nothing.
- What?
[Ye Sol laughs awkwardly]
[Bong Pal] Sit down, sit down.
How dare you mess with me?
You're truly amazing.
You're such a good drinker.
Why did you stop after you got married?
[sighs] This is just the beginning.
All right, to Sales Team Three.
- Yes!
- Yes!
[Hyun Nam] What?
- [Bong Pal sighing]
- [quirky foreboding music playing]
By any chance, what are
Manager Yu's drunken habits?
Manager Yu's drunken habits?
- They haven't even started yet.
- What?
[ominous music playing]
- [g*ons] Welcome.
- Let's start getting ready.
Okay.
- Hey, get your tools, okay?
- Yes, sir.
Get ready.
Time to go hunting.
[ominous music swells]
[music fades]
[indistinct chatter]
Put them over here.
Oh my, a lot of you
are already passed out. [laughs]
- Here, have some of this.
- Oh, you're here.
When you have an upset stomach
from drinking,
this honey water is the best thing for it.
- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Everyone, have a glass.
- Drink it all down.
- Have some.
Excuse me. Wait, just a second.
I wonder which one of these
has the most honey in it?
Could it be this one?
I'll take this one. [laughs]
Then I'll...
- I wonder if this one has more?
- Yes, go ahead. [chuckles]
- I'll drink this one.
- [foreboding music playing]
- Okay.
- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- [Ye Sol] Thank you.
- Here, have some of this.
This is all-natural honey.
Yes, thank you so much
for the honey water.
- Yes.
- All right, bottoms up.
- Bottoms up. Bottoms up.
- Bottoms up. Bottoms up.
- Bottoms up. Bottoms up.
- Bottoms up. Bottoms up.
[ominous music playing]
[Bong Pal exhales]
[Bong Pal] Thank you.
- It's the real deal.
- Well then, you all relax and have fun.
- Okay.
- All right.
[chuckles] Go on.
[ominous music continues]
[gasps]
[suspenseful music playing]
These b*stards are crossing the line.
[Durumi Electronics Sales Team Workshop]
The b*stards' hideout is on
the east side of Mount Taegong.
It's presumed to be
the Mount Taegong Old Man Pension.
[tense music playing]
But as of now,
we don't have any concrete evidence.
You know we've set a date
for the entire Sales Team workshop, right?
Team Leader Bong, I'm counting on you.
[exclaims softly, chuckles]
Of course.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Remember.
Our objective is to gather intel,
not to have a Meeting.
And remember that their safety
is our top priority.
[Bong Pal] Right. [exclaims]
[investigative electronic music playing]
[beeping]
The building's entire exterior
is fitted with EMP shielding.
It must be to cut off
all outside communication in an emergency.
[investigative electronic music continues]
[buzzes]
[stealthy electronic music playing]
[investigative electronic music resumes]
Bingo.
Excuse me. Wait, just a second.
I wonder which one of these
has the most honey in it?
It's not dangerous. Just a sleeping pill.
I'll drink this one.
It's a neutralizing agent for the drug.
[music ends]
They've never messed with
the guests before.
I guess they've lost their minds.
The police are onto them,
so they're getting desperate.
They're trying to pull
one last big job and skip town.
We'll keep an eye on
the situation for now.
By the way,
I haven't seen Tae Min in a while.
Assistant Manager Ki said
the signal was bad and went outside.
My cell phone's not working either.
I think they turned on that device.
Darn.
I'll go out and look for them.
[exclaims softly]
Please take good care of
Manager Yu for me.
I got it. Just hurry back.
[Hyun Nam, whisper-shouts]
Assistant Manager Ki.
Manager Tae Min.
[sighs] Where are they?
Assistant Manager Ki.
Manager Tae Min.
Seriously.
Unbelievable... [muffled screams]
[tense music playing]
[pulse-pounding suspense music playing]
What are they holding?
Wow, look how much this is all worth.
We hit the jackpot today.
[leader] Tie them all up!
- [goon 1] Okay.
- [goon 2] Yes, sir!
It's a good thing
they're out from the sleeping pills.
Those psychos.
Let's leave the psychos for now
and find Assistant Manager Ki.
I haven't been able to reach him.
He must've gotten caught.
I wonder if he's already dead.
Hey.
If he's alive,
he must be somewhere around here.
Because no cars have left.
Tie them up tight.
Hey, hey, move Ko Yeong Gap
out of the way.
[cheeky music playing]
Who are these two?
Why are they okay?
Hey, fellas.
If you keep this up,
you're going to have a problem.
A problem? [chuckles incredulously]
You've got to be kidding me.
Old Man, these guys are still awake.
What do we do?
- k*ll them?
- Are you nuts? Goodness.
They're worth 300 million a head.
Three million a head?
[sighs] The old lady must've
dropped the ball again.
[cup clatters]
Tie them up for now.
Or knock them out.
How do you knock someone out?
I don't want to get hurt.
Great, my phone's dead again.
This is a problem, isn't it?
Why? Are you going to
call the cops or something? [grunts]
What a pathetic joke.
Hey, man, come on. Let's talk this out...
[both gasp]
- [Dr. Go]My goodness.
- [Ye Sol] Mr. Kim.
You want to talk with your fists?
- This son of a g*n...
- I was itching for a fight anyway.
Don't push your luck.
- Let's just shut up.
- Hey. Careful with your knife.
Please help me.
[screams]
- Please help me.
- [laughs]
- Mr. Kim.
- Mr. Kim.
[goon 1] There's a girl over there.
- [leader] Go tie her up.
- [goon 1] Tie them all up over here.
[grunts]
You'll regret this.
I'll regret this? [chuckles]
- Mr. Kim.
- Put the knife down.
[sinister music playing]
[Durumi Electronics]
[automated voice] The person
you are trying to reach is unavailable.
You will be connected to their voicemail,
after the beep...
[Red Hat]
What should we do?
Your mom isn't picking up.
[sighs] I miss Mommy...
Yul, do you miss Mommy?
Daddy misses Mommy a lot too.
Why isn't Mommy answering?
Mommy's in a deep, dark forest right now.
The phones don't work very well there.
[Yul] A forest?
Then what if Mommy is like
Little Red Riding Hood
and meets a wolf in the forest?
What?
[subdued tense music playing]
[Hyun Nam] Is it here?
It's padlocked. What should we do?
[lock clicking]
[gasps]
[door closes]
Assistant Manager Ki, are you in there?
Hey.
[Young Do muffled screaming]
[subdued tense music continues]
[Young Do muffled mumbling]
What happened?
Did our Assistant Manager Ki
screw up again?
[muffled talking]
You're always something else.
Shouldn't you at least pretend
to be surprised and worried?
Oh my gosh, what happened? Are you okay?
[Tae Min] You two don't get along?
[Hyun Nam] How awful.
How is it inside?
They've already run into each other.
They have got some numbers too.
- Looks like today's the day.
- Shouldn't we hurry in?
They've probably already started fighting.
Mm-hmm.
[grunts]
Mr. Kim.
- I won't let you get away with this.
- Gosh.
[Young Do grunts]
[door closes]
Why can't we touch them?
They're Gray.
- What?
- They're not targets for a Meeting yet.
Don't you know that Gray are targets
under investigation...
before they're confirmed as a Client?
I know that much.
But they're the ones
who attacked us first.
Under no circumstances...
can we conduct a Meeting on anyone
who isn't a Client.
We verify and analyze the information
multiple times through the system,
and only then do we handle
the finally approved target.
Those are our rules.
So we just sit here and take this?
There are other people in there too.
Don't you worry. I did say "not yet."
[goon 3] Tie them tightly.
Take them now.
Get rid of this.
[whimsical, tense music playing]
[grunts]
Are you okay, Mr. Kim?
I'm fine.
They're not actually going to
k*ll us, right?
- Yes, we are.
- Really? How are you going to k*ll us?
How should I k*ll you?
- For you, I'll do something special.
- Come on.
No, wait.
Seeing those bright, shiny eyes,
I think I'll start by gouging them out.
They still look in good shape.
That's right. My eyes are my best feature.
I eat a lot of lettuce. Beta-carotene.
[Bong Pal laughing]
[stammers] Beta-what?
Beta-carotene, you idiot.
- You little...
- [loud clanking]
Why are you even playing along with him?
Enough of this nonsense.
Move them to the warehouse, now.
And call Dr. Jo.
Tell him to come in
first thing in the morning.
Contact our Clients.
[chuckles softly]
They're going to love this.
They're all so young and fresh.
[laughs]
I think we're really going to die.
What do we do?
Don't worry.
My fortune says I'll live to be 150.
[laughs]
Bullshit.
But what the hell has that b*stard
been staring at this whole time?
The phone, you idiot. That phone.
But there's no signal on the phone.
[Danger Authorized Personnel Only]
[g*ons] What's that?
[phones chiming]
What's that?
[suspenseful music playing]
Darn it.
Pre-Meeting with Client approved?
What's this?
[Bong Pal]
The approval finally came through.
All right, let's get our Meeting started,
shall we?
- [chuckles]
- [thrilling music playing]
Okay. We got it.
Found it.
[Young Do] I've sent the evidence.
Requesting approval
for an emergency Meeting.
So what do we do now?
Their equipment looks pretty intense.
What if it comes to a physical fight?
You worry too much.
What?
[bones crack]
[goon 1] Hey, hey!
Hey! [groans in pain]
[Tae Min] Mr. Kim is from
Army Special Forces.
He's especially skilled
in close-quarters combat.
[g*ons screaming, grunting]
Oh my goodness.
[Tae Min] And Ms. Yang's hobby is
all kinds of combat sports.
Judo, Taekwondo, and kickboxing.
- There's nothing she can't do.
- [goon] Hey.
[Ye Sol grunts]
- [groans in pain]
- [bones crack]
Goodness.
- [groaning in pain]
- [bones crack]
You're big, but completely useless.
[Ye Sol] Manager Yu.
Manager Yu.
- [g*nsh*t]
- [screams]
[r*fle c*ck]
[suspenseful music playing]
Hands up, you son of a g*n.
[Bong Pal] Gosh.
An old man like you...
shouldn't be playing
with something this dangerous.
Gosh, it's hot. Darn it.
Shut up.
Get to the wall and put your hands up.
Hurry.
You guys too.
Darn it.
Hey, push them against the wall.
- [Bong Pal groans in pain]
- [teammates gasp]
[Dr. Go] Mr. Kim.
- [goon 1] Hey, stomp him.
- Darn it.
[g*ons grunting]
[leader] Hey, hey.
Try not to hit them in the gut.
They're 300 million a head.
- Yes.
- Yes.
[g*ons grunting]
[suspenseful music continues]
[Yul] What if a wolf appeared
when Mom is in the woods?
The wolf would be scared of your mom
and run away.
Is Mom stronger than a wolf?
Of course. Your mom is way stronger.
Your mom is super strong.
Even on rough mountain trails,
your mom just...
climbs them with no problem.
And even when the snow is piled high,
like an excavator,
she just clears a path.
She's strong enough
to lift me up with ease.
And... [sighs]
She's also very daring.
The mom that I know...
is tough and strong,
but never loses her dignity.
She's a wonderful person like that.
[slurring] What the hell?
Why is it so noisy?
[sprightly suspense music playing]
[groans, laughs]
Manager Yu, you're awake.
[crying] Manager Yu.
Darn it, who are the b*stards
making all that noise?
I can't even sleep...
What is this? Who did this?
Who tied me up like this? Darn it.
Was it you?
Seriously, who the hell is this wench?
Why do these annoying gnats
keep buzzing around?
What? "Gnats?" This crazy...
[groans in pain]
- Darn it.
- Are you okay, sir?
You said you could handle this alone.
Did you get old already?
Well, I have gotten older.
But I was trying to
handle it myself anyway.
Since it's your first outing in a while,
Manager Yu,
I wanted you to drink and sleep
as much as you wanted.
That's why I was handling it alone,
but suddenly,
an old man showed up with a g*n.
- A g*n?
- Yes.
He has a g*n?
[laughs]
[Bong Pal] Go ahead
and clean this up, Manager Yu.
Move, you darn idiots.
[sprightly suspense music continues]
Hey.
Get on your knees.
- [goon 1] On your knees.
- [goon 2] On your knees.
- On your knees, you wench.
- What's that buzzing? An old fly?
This wench.
You want a hole in your head?
A hole in my head? That's my line.
You little...
Don't... Don't move.
If you move, I'll sh**t.
You can't sh**t if I'm moving.
You...
Is... Is she crazy?
sh**t. I'm standing still.
[laughs incredulously]
Fine. Die, you wench!
- [chokes]
- Gosh, sir!
Sir.
You can't even pull the trigger?
[g*ons scream]
[cheeky suspense music playing]
I'm not going to sh**t. I won't.
You won't?
[b*ll*ts clatter]
Let's get her. Hey, k*ll that b*tch.
It's been a while. Shall we?
Come at me all at once, you flies.
Hey, k*ll her.
[g*ons battle cry]
It slipped.
I guess I'll go without it.
You wench. [roars]
[g*ons screaming]
[empowering pop music playing]
[groans]
[chuckles]
Yu Bo Na's drunk habits are showing.
[grunts]
Bo Na...
[grunts]
[screaming in pain]
Hey!
Why do you keep getting up?
[Durumi Sales Team Workshop]
[Tae Sung] As agile as a puma,
as courageous as a lion,
and as elegant as a swan.
Back then, Yu Bo Na...
[groans in pain]
...was so beautiful.
[empowering pop music continues]
Hey!
[groans in pain]
[screaming silently]
On your knees, you b*stard.
Gosh, Yu Bo Na's still got it.
[closing theme music playing]
[A Bona fide k*ller]
Yul, I told you Mommy can't today
because she has to go to work, right?
[Yul] I hate you, Mommy.
[Bo Na] So that guy
is getting out of prison after all?
We should probably move up the timeline.
Before he goes back
to his old neighborhood.
[Bong Pal] That could get pretty messy.
[Hae Na] He died the same day
he was released.
[Detective Lee] What if we go after
the incidents that are about to happen?
Sir, welcome.
Kingfisher's next target.
- Is this related to Kingfisher?
- Were you following me?
What's going on, Mr. Kim?
I'm Pyo Gyu Cheol, you b*stards.
[woman] So Manager Yu is
in the most dangerous position...
and has the highest risk of being caught.

The story of a married woman who works as a k*ller in a secret organization and her husband who wants to reveal his wife's secret.
