CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

ALL CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS
FILMED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

What are you doing?

Gaeun, what's wrong?

I'm the lead dancer.

I'm the lead dancer.

Shush.

SONG GAEUN

I'm the lead dancer.

Hey...

EPISODE 10

Is the culprit among them?

How did it go?

We found some traces here and there.

But we can't narrow down a suspect.

Too many people use this space.

- Okay. Thank you for coming.
- Sure.

What happened?

A curse pouch was found in Seyeon's bag,

and it had drugs inside.

Drugs?

Gaeun was hallucinating
because of the same drug.

Are you saying one of my students
did something like that?

Don't tell the students anything just yet.

SEOUL GANGHA POLICE STATION

This is
commonly known as "Ruby."

Just touching it can make you hallucinate.

It's sold anonymously on the dark web,
so they can't identify the buyers.

CONTACT WITH NARCOTIC SUBSTANCE

HALLUCINATION
REPEATEDLY STRUCK LEGS

So Seyeon touched those rubies
and died from an asthma attack?

Yes.

They may not have intended it,
but it ended in a m*rder.

But even so,

could a high school student get
their hands on a drug like this?

It's not impossible.
The dark web doesn't have an age limit.

I don't understand

cursing someone
just to steal the lead role.

I heard the arts festival
is a pretty big deal.

All the famous
dance companies will be there.

We can't trace the drug,

so we'll have to go after the curse pouch.

Check the footage from the Witch's Shop.

Make a list of everyone
who bought a curse pouch.

Got it.

Detective Joo.

A student bought one
the day before the incident.

That's Hayun.

Hi, Hayun.

Can we talk for a moment?

Hayun, what will you have?

I'm fine.

You should eat something.

Then I'll get the Chicken Bacon Mini Wrap.

Okay. Italian B.M.T. for you,
Detective Joo?

Yeah. Coffee, too.

Coffee? What about you, Hayun?

I'll just drink water.

No. Jin Isoo is buying today.

Want anything more to eat, huh?

You must be startled
after what happened with Gaeun.

Yeah, why did she do that?

I'm not sure.

Have your friends said anything about it?

They said maybe she lost it
after getting the lead.

All right.

Here, drink this.

Coffee for Detective Joo.

Let's eat.

It's good, right?

- Right?
- Yes.

You girls are always on a diet, huh.

You need to eat well for your arm to heal.

Can you pick that up for me?

You're right.

I put this inside Seyeon's bag.

Gaeun, too?

Gaeun? What about Gaeun?

But how did you know?

The security camera.

So, what about it?

Seyeon died because of that pouch.

Is this a real curse?

I was only messing around.

No.

There was a drug inside
that causes hallucinations.

What?

What are you talking about?

Uh, if, by any chance,

you put it in as a joke...

What are you talking about?
Do you think I'm crazy?

It really wasn't me.

I did it because I was annoyed.
Where would I even get drugs?

If I got caught, I'd be expelled.

And everyone at school does this.

They send curses
to people they don't like.

The principal knows as well.

Some kids had theirs confiscated.

The principal knows, too?

Yes. Go ask her.

When did you put the pouch in?

During the afternoon class
on the day Seyeon died.

CHANGING ROOM

MOON SEYEON

I got really scared
when she actually died.

SEOUL GANGHA POLICE STATION

KIM HAYUN

I don't think Hayun is the culprit.

Detective Choi.

Let's see the hallway
outside the studio that afternoon.

Okay.

Did Hayun just put the pouch in?

Wait.

What's this?

Principal Jeong Joohee?

The principal slipped in the drugs?

The principal k*lled Seyeon?

She has no reason to.

She said she gave Seyeon
the lead because of her asthma.

She might've gone in to get something.

Anyone could have gotten to Seyeon's bag.

If all those students
are giving each other curses,

how can we narrow down the suspects?

Did you find anything on Seyeon's phone?

Nothing significant.

I CURSE YOU, MOON SEYEON
DIE, DIE!

By the way,

if she wanted to curse someone,
why not write their name?

Why just write that she cursed them?

Maybe she wanted to curse multiple people.

Like the ones responsible for her death.

But there wasn't anyone like that.

I CURSE YOU

- What the...
- Oh, my God!

Hey, come here.

- What is it?
- I think I'm a freaking genius.

Look.

JEONG JOOHEE

"Jeong Joohee"?

Maybe what Yuna actually wanted
to write was "Jeong Joohee."

Jeong Joohee was the one
who k*lled Baek Yuna?

She made her k*ll herself?

But why?

She even received money
from Baek Yuna's parents.

Jeong Joohee is suspicious, though.

Right. She knew about the curse pouch,
but pretended not to.

What's this?

Have you never seen it before?

It's a trend among the students.

It's a curse pouch.

The students carry this around?

Gaeun also said something, too.

But Seyeon told me

the principal has no choice
but to pick her for the lead.

Seyeon didn't have the money to bribe her,

so why did Jeong Joohee have
no choice but to pick her as the lead?

JEONG JOOHEE

Ma'am,

it seems the principal
was very fond of Seyeon.

She was.

She came to see me.

Principal Jeong Joohee came to see you?

Yes.

She said she felt bad.

She brought that with her.

Thank you for coming all the way
to this humble place, Principal Jeong.

You must be heartbroken.

But she said
she had left something with Seyeon.

She searched Seyeon's room?

Yes.

But I don't think she found it.

She just left.

And you have no idea what it was?

No, I wouldn't know.

Ma'am.

I figured you wouldn't have eaten.

I don't know
if it's worth living like this.

I outlived my daughter,

and now I even lost

my poor granddaughter.

An item with fur, about this big.

She left it behind.

Ma'am.

Is this your phone?

What's the matter?

The shaman said she saw this.

It used to be Seyeon's phone.

She gave it to me a few months ago.

May I take a look?

Of course.

- Feel free to.
- Okay.

This is a video app.

Ma'am, do you know what this is?

I don't know any of that stuff.

Ah. I'm going to take a look.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

ALL VIDEOS

Ma'am.

Make sure you eat properly.

Please stay healthy.

We promise to catch the culprit
who did this to Seyeon.

Thank you.

JUYEON ARTS HIGH SCHOOL







No more cursing each other.

You should all be
sharing good luck instead, okay?

- Okay.
- Here.

Good luck.

Here you go.

Here you go.

We came to see the performance, too.

Sure.

I hope you enjoy the show.

Yes, I'm sure it'll be very enjoyable.

All right, you got this!

- We got this!
- We got this!

Everyone ready?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Who are you?

Excuse me for a moment.

Ah, right.

Thank you all for joining us at
the Juyeon Arts High School Arts Festival.

Juyeon Arts High School

has grown into a prestigious school
known for producing exceptional dancers,

and we owe much of that success
to one special person.

I'd like to introduce you all
to Principal Jeong Joohee,

who leads our school
with nothing but love for her students.

Whoo!

I'd like to thank our distinguished guests
for taking the time to join us today.

Recently, a tragic event
befell our school.

Despite their grief, our students
worked hard to prepare this performance.

I would be grateful

if you could give them
your warmest support.

JEONG JOOHEE, THE DANCER
WHO HAS DEFINED AN ERA OF KOREAN DANCE

HER NAME IS NOW A DIRECTION

THE REASON KOREAN DANCE
KEPT MOVING FORWARD

NOW SHE FOCUSES ON NURTURING TALENT

AN EDUCATOR OF BOTH DANCE AND CHARACTER

JUYEON ARTS HIGH SCHOOL
WILL CARRY ON HER LEGACY

Mr. Park, what's going on?
Turn that off right now!

It's okay.

Girls.

This isn't real.

It's all fake.

No.

It's all a lie.

You're a m*rder*r.

It's on video.
What do you mean it's a lie?

I said, it's not true!

Girls.

Shouldn't we call an ambulance?

SEOUL GANGHA POLICE STATION

Why did you k*ll her?

Baek Yuna.

She didn't know her place.

Ms. Jeong.



Am I not talented?

What are you talking about?

You're exceptionally gifted.

Then why did you take money from my mom?

Did I get the lead because of the money?

You even told her
you'd get me into college no matter what.

That's not playing fair.

Yuna.

Having money

is a talent.

You're probably too young to understand.

Playing fair?

That's all an illusion.

Nothing is fair in this world.

Everything's decided
the moment you're born.

Just like your genes.

You can't last in this industry
without money anyway.

So stop being so childish,

and just enjoy the benefits
of having wealthy parents, huh?

I don't want to.

What?

I want to be recognized for my own talent.

What are you going to do about it?

Turn yourself in.

Otherwise, I'm going to report you myself.

Yes, Ms. Ryu.

Hello, Principal Jeong.
Have you been well?

Yes.

I have the bag you mentioned last time.

I'll stop by to see you soon.

Yes, all right.

You came to practice.

You changed your mind, right?

You made the right choice.

Acting all righteous
won't do you any good.

I came to practice one last time.

One last time?

Turn yourself in by tomorrow.

I'm going to quit everything, too.

Yuna.

I know how you feel.

It's all been so hard on you.

You haven't been able to sleep,

and I heard
you're even taking antidepressants.

Ms. Jeong.

You love dancing.

How could you give it up, right?

I'm taking antidepressants because of you.

I've known for a while

that my mom gave you money.

I thought about looking the other way,

because my mom and I would
also be blamed if this got out.

Yuna.

This won't be for long.

If you just get through this,

you'll become the best dancer there is.

I don't want to end up like you.

What?

Ms. Jeong.

Dance was the one thing I loved most,
and you corrupted it.

Take back what you just said.

If you say you're sorry,

I'll forgive you just this once.

I'm...

giving you a chance.

No.

Let go.

Ms. Jeong.

Don't resent me.

You made me do this.

She's like this until the end.

JEONG JOOHEE

I CURSE YOU

Mom, I'm sorry.

It was k*lling me, too.

Yuna haunted my dreams every night,
and I couldn't sleep.

No medication would work,

and I even turned to drugs because of her.

But then,

there was another student
who didn't know her place.

Oh.

It's you, Seyeon. What can I do for you?

I have something to tell you.

I'm a bit busy right now.
Let's talk another time.

This won't take long.

What is it? Make it quick.

I wish I could give you
a lot of money as well,

but my family isn't well-off.

I can't even afford private lessons.

So I was secretly recording
your tutoring sessions with Yuna.

You know,

I'd actually given up on everything.

Only five students can go to
Hankuk University from our department.

And they'll all be students
from rich, powerful families.

Whereas I have nothing.

But then this opportunity came along.

Seyeon.

Does anyone else know about this?

Of course not.
No one else can know.

I can't have you getting arrested.

Seyeon,

you can't do this. Delete that right now.

Can a teacher k*ll her student?

All you have to do
is favor me from now on.

Start by making me
the lead dancer in the festival.

Don't even think about trying anything.

I'm not like Yuna.
I won't be easy to deal with.

I'll keep this nice and safe
so no one finds out.

Don't worry about that.

I'll delete it
once I get into Hankuk University.

So I did exactly as Seyeon asked,

but the parents of the student originally
chosen for the lead kept calling me.

They kept hounding me
about how much Seyeon had paid me.

You even k*lled someone
after taking a bribe,

yet you accepted money again?

You think I asked for it?

They come to me on their own.

They come with designer bags and cash,
asking me to look after their kid.

Is that why you decided
to k*ll Seyeon as well?

That wasn't my intention from the start.

I was...

just wondering what I should do,

then...

I went online to get some drugs.

JUYEON ARTS HIGH SCHOOL

GOT SOMETHING NEW, WANNA TRY?

WHAT IS IT?

SOMETHING THAT FEELS GOOD
JUST BY TOUCHING IT

BUT BAD FOR HEART CONDITION OR ASTHMA

WHY? WHAT HAPPENS?

WORST CASE, YOU DIE

- Hello.
- Hello.

Warm up.

Warm up and start rehearsing.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.

MOON SEYEON

Seyeon.

Please... help me.

Don't come any closer.

Stay away from me!

Seyeon, please help me.

You're the one who slipped
Gaeun the drugs as well, right?

To make it look like
an incident between the students.

SONG GAEUN

You really are something else.

As a teacher,
you k*lled two of your students.

How can you live with that?

What else could I
have done? There was no other way.

They blackmailed me first,

so this was self-defense.

If you had just admitted your crime,
no one would have died.

Who in the world would do that?

I have a name
and a reputation to uphold!

You're the one
who tarnished that reputation.

Now, people will remember you

not as the legend of Korean dance,

but as a m*rder*r.

MOON SEYEON, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE

WE WILL MISS YOU, SEYEON

My poor child.

My poor child.

PRINCIPAL JEONG JOOHEE

CURSE CHARM

JUNYOUNG, KYUNGJIN
I CURSE YOU, BREAK UP

Where's everyone?

Off to meet their girlfriends.

Such romantics, aren't they?

Why don't us single folks
go get something to eat?

Shall we go somewhere I know?
It's Michelin-starred.

Let's just go local. I'm hungry.

You must have
a bottomless pit for a stomach.

Wrap it up quickly.

Oh, I'm starving.

I just need to finish this.

Mmm! It's delicious.

- It's good, right?
- Yeah.

This is the best place around here.

Why go to a Michelin restaurant
when we have a place like this?

Hey, Michelin is Michelin, so...

Forget it.
Want a draft beer?

Yeah, sounds good.

Can we have two...
No, one glass of draft beer, please.

Sure.

That's good.

By the way, that reed you gave me.

Yeah?

Apparently, they can't determine
the exact location with that,

because it's native to the west coast.

What are you going to do about Seongwon?

I have someone watching him.

Welcome home, Young Master.

Thank you.

PI JEONG MINJAE

Hello?

Yu Seongwon brought a woman to his studio.

I'll head there first.

Okay, we're on our way.

What's wrong?

Yu Seongwon brought a woman to his studio.

Your studio is really nice.

I wish I could work
in a studio like this.

You can work here anytime you want.

- Really?
- Of course.

If you can make it here.

Why do you take photographs?

To feel you while I work.

Can I get a copy if they come out well?

No.

What kind of artwork
are you going to make me into?

I'm not sure.

I can't say I know you yet.

What do you like most?

I like painting the most.

I wish I could

spend just one month painting,
without worrying about money.

That's no fun.

What's no fun?

Talk about something else.

What was the worst thing you've ever done?

The worst thing?

What about you?

The worst thing I've done?

You'd be shocked if you knew.

What was it?

I gave my father

a makeover.

Your father?

I put really heavy makeup on him.

Why?

Because I didn't like his expression.

Didn't he tell you off?

He didn't say anything.

Want a glass of champagne?

Any movements?

Not yet.

Should we go in now?

No, let's just wait.

How do you want to die?

What?

How do you want to die?

Have you never thought about that?

Well,

I'd want to die painlessly and peacefully.

Peacefully?

That's nice, too.

Drink up.

Young Master Isoo is here.

We have an unwanted guest.

Sorry to drop in so late. Can I come in?

- Oh. Yes, of course.
- Thanks.

Isoo!

What brings you here out of the blue?

I just remembered you said you liked this.

Here. We'll drink one bottle now.

Thank you.

You have a guest.

Ah, you must be his model.

Yes. Aren't you Jin Isoo?

She knows me. She must be a fan.

Would you like a photo?

- Really?
- Yes.

All right.

One, two, three.

Nice to meet you. What's your name?

Song Areum.

Areum.

Would you like to join us for a drink?
I made this.

No.

Areum should probably get going.

Let's do this another time.

Okay, sure.

Mmm, then I'll have to call you a cab.

The premium kind. One second. Ah...

Your cab's here.

Wear your seatbelt.

- Okay.
- Right.

You look like a skilled driver.

Please take her home safely. Bye.

Seriously, what the heck?

What do you mean?
Come on, let's go have a drink.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Wait.

I'm a detective.

You were with Yu Seongwon, weren't you?

Yes.

What's going on?

Could I talk to you for a second?

I work part-time as a bartender.
I met him at the bar.

Did he ask you to be his model?

Yes.

But what's this all about?

Two of Yu Seongwon's models are missing.

What do you mean?

We're investigating those cases.

No wonder.

He said something
that was kind of disturbing.

Like what?

How do you want to die?

You shouldn't meet him
even if he calls you again.

Okay.

If he contacts you,

please let me know.

Hey, are you mad at me?

Who's more important to you,
me or the model?

It's been a while
since I found a model I liked, Isoo.

Drink up.

Get inspiration from me today.

- Hey, Seongwon.
- Yeah?

You said you met me when you were little.

- Yeah.
- When was that?

Seriously.

It annoys me that you don't remember,
so I'm not telling you.

At least give me a hint.

Back then,

you were a lot quieter than you are now.

You were shorter and thinner.

The hallway was bright,

and a breeze was coming in
through the window.

SEO YUKYUNG PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC

It was quiet

and dull.

Surrounded by white walls,
it was the same thing day after day,

but then, you suddenly sat next to me.

Hey, what's your name?

What are you sick with?

How's my drawing?

It's really good.

Do you know what this is?

It's a puppy.

Jin Isoo.

Come inside.

Jin Isoo.

My picture.

Everyone said it was weird.

You were the only person
who complimented me.

Do you know why?

You recognized it
because you and I are alike.

In what way are we alike?

Your mom.

You said you were with her when she died.

How did it feel?

Did you witness the moment she died?

When her soul left her eyes?

That very moment?

This is Detective Jin Isoo.

This is private investigator Jeong Minjae.

He used to work at Violent Crime with me.

Oh, it's nice to meet you.

You really helped us out today.

Not at all.

So, what did Areum say?

They met by chance,
and he asked her to be his model.

Did you talk to him?

He said I met him when I was young,

but I honestly don't remember.

What are you going to do now?

We'll have to keep watching.

He might go on a rampage
now that we've stopped him.

I bring Areum home...

and he barges in an hour later?

That's strange.

Right?

What the heck?

Did Isoo...

side with Joo Hyera?

DETECTIVE JOO HYERA
INCOMING CALL

Yu Seongwon found our cameras.

He destroyed them all.

We have no way of watching him.

I'll look into it.

MR. CHOI

Mr. Choi, I have a favor to ask.

HANSU AIR SPACE

Ah, why did you come? I can go by myself.

I thought I might as well come see you.

How are you feeling?

It's a secret.

How are you?

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

What did the hospital say?

They're going to monitor me for a while,

but I'm doing well so far.

That's such a relief.

What about you?

I'm taking medication and doing okay.

Really?

Really. You should
worry about yourself first.

Don't get sick.

- Right.
- Let's go.

Thank you all for your hard work.

Don't mind us. Please carry on.

It's been a while, Chief.

Yes, please move it

right here.

What is it for?

Uh, you'll be in danger if you know.

Please set it up
so I can watch the live feed.

Please do as he says.

So what exactly is this again?

Mmm, a high-altitude UAV.

A drone that can fly for a long time.

And it belongs to Hansu Group?

Yes. Some are supplied to the military,

others are used to monitor wildfires,

and one was in the air just for testing,

so I moved that one to Seongwon's studio.

Oh!

Four, three,

five, three, zero.

Connect.

It's live.

This should do, right?

Whoa.

I've never seen
such a cool chaebol before.

You're so cool, Detective Jin.

You've never seen a chaebol before?

It's no big deal.

Uh-uh. No, Jin Isoo.

You're impressive.

Really? This is nothing.

Honestly.

If I was going to work
with someone like you,

I seriously wouldn't have quit.

How can you say that
when you quit after working with me?

Well, it's true.

Is there anything you can't do?

Not much, really. Mmm.

This is a guy who buys an entire house
just because he wants to see the basement.

That's crazy.

Hyera, doesn't that give you
a huge dopamine rush?

- Is your brain okay?
- Every day is a roller coaster. Mmm.

The car we were driving blows up,

twin magicians show up.

That sounds so much fun. I'm jealous.

Join us. Come work for me.

Should I try joining the force again?

- Hey, where are you going?
- The restroom.

Thank you.

Kim Heejun's death

was a weight on her conscience.

And for me, too.

Couldn't we have prevented it?

Was it maybe our fault?

I ran away from that like a coward,

while Hyera just endured it.

Saving Areum means a lot to us.

If it's with you, I think
we'll be able to catch Yu Seongwon.

Of course, we can, huh.

We'll catch that b*stard

and isolate him from society for good.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Hey, me too.

All right, let's do this.

- Let's do this!
- Let's do this!

God, my head.

I must be out of my mind.

Roller coaster.

What's all this?

My friend, Jin Isoo.

Younghwan, you, again!

You want to try, too?

No! Please... Don't!

I told you I'd never see you
if you did it again.

You should undergo
a proper investigation and quit drugs.

All my life,
I've never thought of you as a friend.

Jin Isoo.

FLEX X COP 2
EPISODE 10

A BLOOD TRAIL SURROUNDS JIN ISOO

SPECIAL CAST. JEON HYEBIN

What happened?

He's Isoo's
middle school classmate.

Get a grip.
You have to remember something!

Jin Isoo, you're under arrest
for the m*rder of Kim Younghwan.

- You two fought, didn't you?
- Yes.

Your friend
came to see you, punk.

You're finished.

I heard someone reported me.

I k*lled someone.

Got nothing left to deny?

They went in with a set narrative.

We're from Internal Affairs.

They found a high dose
of drugs in his system.

Does taking that drug
for the first time make you violent?

People with a lot
of pent-up anger tend to snap.

Jin Isoo could be the k*ller.

Isoo! Maybe you've been holding it all in.

And it just blew up on Younghwan.

Once you admit it,

you will be free.

Jin Isoo.

Goodbye.
