- Can you feel a pulse? - It's weak, but it's still there.
Get her inside quickly!
I'm sorry, Ji Yong...
No, Chief, No... You can't die like this!
The voice recorder... In my room...
- Soo Sun! - Dae Gu!
Detective Lee, Detective Seo.
You're here.
What happened? How's the Chief?
Is she hurt badly?
Yes, she's hurt badly. She bled a lot too.
How did the accident happen?
I called Detective Park at the Traffic Department.
It seems like a truck rammed into her car at an intersection.
The driver was dosing off.
- Ms. Kang Suk Soon's guardian? - Yes?
How's she doing, doctor?
We stopped all the bleeding during the emergency operation...
But the situation isn't that great because her organs are heavily damaged.
We'll have to monitor her condition further from the ICU.
Are you saying that she's in critical condition?
Yes, she isn't doing so well.
Chief Kang is Detective Seo.
She admitted it herself. And she also took
the voice recorder left by Cho Hyung Cheol.
She went to see Yoo Moon Bae after telling me everything.
And after she left his office, looking like they had a huge fight...
The accident happened.
Then could it be...
The accident didn't happen because the truck driver was falling asleep.
It was an attempted murder disguised as an accident.
The truck sped up right at the intersection
to hit the Chief's car precisely.
It's not just me. Detective Uh also saw it, and thinks the same thing.
Bastards...
I kept thinking in front of the surgery room...
What can I do to reveal that this isn't a simple accident?
Do I have to reveal the relationship between Yoo Moon Bae and the Chief.
Along with the fact that the Chief is Detective Seo?
I thought about it long and hard...
But I think it's necessary to reveal this so we can catch him.
We must catch the bastard who tried to kill the Chief.
Of course we must.
I'll try to find the voice recorder to start.
[Episode 19] [A Desperate One Above a Flying One]
This only proves that it wasn't a simple accident.
We don't know yet.
The intruder might have left after not being able to find the voice recorder.
Let's try to find it while putting everything back into the place.
Okay.
Chief Kang wouldn't have left something that important in a visible spot.
Hey, Partner.
Did you write this?
[From Eun Dae Gu] [To my sponsor]
I told you before.
I was able go to a good college thanks to a good sponsor.
That sponsor was Chief Kang.
I think Chief Kang will be glad to see this next to her bed.
I heard this somewhere, but while those unconscious
people might look like they're just lying there...
They still can hear everything.
So you can tell her everything you want to say.
I'd like to talk to you.
The Violent Crimes Unit of our police station is cursed!
A big one at that!
If not, the how can these bad things happen back-to-back?
Even I broke my toe after falling down stairs...
You know those stairs... No, never mind.
You can speak.
It's about Chief Kang.
About the murder attempt on Chief Kang.
What are you talking about?
A murder attempt?
So, you're saying that Assemblyman Yoo is behind all of this.
Yes. But...
I think you and I should be the only ones to know
about her being "Detective Seo" until she wakes up.
I thought about this a lot, but the reason why I'm telling you this is...
Because I thought you need to know the truth about the
murder case 11 years ago to believe what I told you.
That's why.
Now everything has gotten clearer for me.
Frankly, Chief Kang has been acting weird since last week.
She kept telling me, as if she's clearing her position...
"When I empty my seat..." "If something happens
to me and you have to take over my duties..."
She gave me pointers on how to do her duties in her place...
Along with some necessary documents.
Chief Kang did that?
Fine, Team Three can take this...
No, never mind.
I'll get on this case with you guys.
That won't be necessary...
I'll do it!
I'm Cha Tae Ho! The Salutatorian of the Police Academy!
We must protect our own Chief!
If Chief Kang was really attacked as you say...
I'll neither be inactive about it nor forgive the perpetrator!
Sure, then. Thank you.
How many surveillance cameras are around here?
There's one down there, and one across the street...
There was no skid mark right before the collision!
In other words, you never even tried to break
as if you were trying to collide with her car.
I said I was dozing off.
I only pressed the break pedal after waking up from the collision.
There should be some skid marks after the collision.
It wasn't used for a long time, and it seems like rain got into the car too.
Let's see...
It's not working.
Nonsense. How can a car get like this?
Is this even a car? It's just a crumpled milk carton!
I thought it might be helpful to go through her
office since she said the recorder is in her room.
Right. I thought the same thing too.
[To Detective Seo Pan Suk]
Dear Detective Seo...
There'll be a committee meeting in the National Assembly in a couple of days.
Once that happens, I'll come clean and receive the punishment of the law.
I get scared when I think about how shocked
Ji Yong will be when he finds out.
Would it be okay for me to ask you to take care of Ji Yong when I go to jail?
It's insufferable for me to think that I'll
inflict another unbearable pain to Ji Yong.
And I'm sorry, from the bottom of my heart.
Do you remember when I had an appendicitis?
You came and held my hand throughout the night.
I told you not to come because it was just an appendicitis...
But honestly, I felt so happy when you came.
Because it really felt like you were my mother.
So that's how I mustered up enough courage
to give you flowers on the Parents' Day...
And take pictures with you.
Hey...
I'll put this on you.
I hope this didn't distract you from your studies!
Thank you so much, Dae Gu.
One, two, three!
Remember this? This is the picture.
But Chief...
I feel like even this picture is fake.
So you can't die like this.
There are too many stories that you haven't told me yet.
You still haven't told me why you did this to me.
So you must wake up, okay?
- Please come in. - Sir.
Please, don't get up.
Do you know what's the most important thing to a detective?
The eyes of an eagle that will catch even the tinniest clue!
The heart of a lion that will make you calm in any dangerous situations!
The patient of a cicada that allows it to stay underground for seven years!
The patience of a cicada?
What do you think is necessary to review
all that surveillance camera footage?
Patience. With that patience of a cicada...
We're closer to the core of this incident!
The truck driver kept insisting that he was dozing off...
But because the surrounding evidence said
otherwise, we couldn't trust his words.
So we reviewed a lot of surveillance footages, only to find this key.
Turn it on.
The driver started driving after waiting
for three hours at a nearby intersection.
Do you think it makes sense that he dozed
off so badly after five minutes of driving?
So bad that he couldn't even break before hitting another car?
This is a blatant lie.
For sure. You're the best!
This is great work. How did you go through so much footage?
Seriously, you should've had us do it!
This must have been a lot of work.
Your foot isn't in the best condition either!
This is Seo Pan Suk.
What is it?
The Chief...
[Kang Suk Soon] [Her tireless spirit for the police rises here again]
Salute, to Chief Kang Suk Soon!
At ease.
You can't. It's not time yet.
Hold yourself.
Attention!
When I just became a detective, there was this
unsolvable case that I wanted to give up on.
The victim's family came to see me at the station every day for two months.
It was so tiring and unbearable.
My boss then was Chief Kang.
So I asked her for how much longer we must continue to investigate.
Whether we had done enough.
And Chief Kang told me then.
We must continue our investigation until the victim's family understands.
Her speech really got me fired up.
That's when I thought I should become a detective like her.
Yes, you were always her protege.
I forgot about that.
Chief Kang told me she's sorry.
I'm the one who should've told her that.
I should've told her that I'm sorry for not trusting her until the end.
And that I'm sorry for leaving her trapped.
After watching Ji Yong trusting the Chief until the end...
I've come to realize how corrupt and impure I've become by the world.
I can't even trust anyone anymore.
And it's been a while since my passion disappeared.
That would never happen to Seo Pan Suk.
The Chief's love for the police force was second to none.
She was a true police officer.
I'm sure she'll rest in peace.
What's all this?
Breakfast.
I know that. But this much?
We need to eat a lot to have lots of energy!
We need to eat to gain energy! Sit down.
And we need the energy to catch bad guys!
Sit, Dae Gu!
Did you make all this from scratch?
Why are you trying to know?
My mom sent these last night.
Let's eat! Let's taste what you've cooked for us.
This oxtail soup was boiled for 48 hours in an iron pot! Let's eat! Let's taste what you've cooked for us.
This oxtail soup was boiled for 48 hours in an iron pot!
Try it!
How is it?
It's excellent.
Are you sure it's excellent? It's not just edible?
I guess this is the happiness of a housewife!
Let's eat!
- My mom made these pickled anchovies. - They're delicious.
Partner, do you think I can see you before going to work?
I'm at the playground in front of your apartment.
Who is it?
It's just a spam message.
Eat up. Delicious, right?
Hey, Partner.
What is it?
You haven't had breakfast, have you?
You may not have much of an appetite, but you
still have to eat well to regain energy!
Ta-da!
Try it. I made it myself.
You made this yourself?
I can't cook other things, but I'm good at making rice balls.
I also have some coffee here.
The left ones has anchovies, and the right ones have fried kimchi.
How is it? Is it okay?
No.
Is it bad?
It's good.
Really?
Really.
- Soybean Flour. - What?
You can't betray me, okay?
If you're going to betray me, at least give me a good reason.
That you like some other punk.
Okay?
But there's something else that you really shouldn't do.
What is that?
Tell me, I won't do it.
Don't die in front of me.
Stop eating so fast. You might choke.
Okay. I won't die in front of you.
And I'll be sure to give you a good reason before betraying you.
So you must also tell me that you're hurt when you're hurt...
That you're tired when you're tired...
And tell me if you want to cry, vent your anger, and
scream like a madman whenever you want to do those things.
You mustn't just shove rice balls down your
throat every time you want to cry like just now.
Heaven must be on our side. I thought this would never be recovered.
Cho Hyung Cheol went out of his way to install this.
Something must come out of this, right?
Let's hope so.
We'll play the footage that was filmed a day before Dae Gu got stabbed.
This guy is a busy man.
This man is...
Kim Hwa Shin. He's Yoo Moon Bae's lawyer.
The lawyer is giving Cho the money. This is a very good piece of evidence!
But what could be in that envelope?
I wonder...
So that money is the payment to kill me.
This should establish that Yoo Moon Bae is the one who ordered him to kill me.
Detective Seo, great news!
The truck driver confessed who ordered the hit!
Of course, this is all thanks to my sharp interrogation skills...
And my superior logic that are on par with Sherlock Holmes...
So, who ordered the hit?
Kim Hwa Shin. Yoo Moon Bae's lawyer.
Yoo Moon Bae again?
As we predicted.
Bring Kim Hwa Shin right now.
I'll ask again. Who ordered you to kill Chief Kang?
You should describe it correctly.
All I did was passing along the message that said "Execute the plan."
Fine, then. Who gave you that message to pass along?
Mrs. Yoo Ae Yun.
That makes no sense. She was in jail when the accident happened.
Unless she has some kind of telepathy...
How could she have known that Chief Kang would be
visiting Assemblyman Yoo at that precise moment?
I don't know.
I only passed along the message as I was ordered.
Fine, then.
Who ordered you to give money to Cho Hyung Cheol
the morning of June 10th...
Right before Detective Eun was assaulted?
Also Mrs. Yoo.
What? Yoo Ae Yun again?
Yes.
I had no idea what the money was for.
I only gave him the briefcase and received an envelope...
Which I passed along to Mrs. Yoo.
So they're blaming Yoo Ae Yun for everything?
It seems like they're planning to do something.
It feels strange.
Detective Seo!
Yoo Ae Yun isn't in her cell.
She was released on bail for medical reasons.
She was fine until some days ago! What is this about?
I don't know! Something about depression and schizophrenia.
Something about mental illness.
What? That's it?
Now I can see the whole picture.
They blame everything on the daughter, then take her
out of prison using mental illness as an excuse.
Bastards.
This can't be true. The law is some sort of joke to them.
What kind of doctor would diagnose that woman as mentally ill?
Where's Eun Dae Gu? Where's Detective Eun?
What is this about?
I need to see Detective Eun!
He's right there.
Hey, Awesome Dude. My mom didn't do it.
You came all the way down here to tell me that?
Take a look at this DNA test report.
I took a hair from you and got it tested.
We're not related at all!
[Not a match]
[The DNAs of Shin Ki Jae don't match those of Eun Dae Gu]
[Not a match]
[The DNAs of Shin Ki Jae don't match those of Eun Dae Gu]
You saw it, right?
It's certain that we're not related at all! Right?
Then why would my mother kill your mother?
My mom even gets a settlement document
first before beating someone up.
It's inconceivable to think someone like
that would kill a person on a whim!
Something's definitely wrong!
By the way, do you know where my mom is?
Did you really throw her in jail because I told you to do so before?
Without telling me?
I don't know. Why are you looking for your mom here?
Because this is a police station!
Isn't it your job to find missing persons?
My mom disappeared.
She got released on bail but she's nowhere to be found!
Her cell phone is off, and I can't reach her secretary or the lawyer.
Dad and Grandpa both ignore me when I ask them.
I'm going crazy right now!
Yes, we got it. What's your name?
Let's file a police report first. We'll start searching soon.
- Awesome Dude... - Detective Oh.
- Please find my mother... - Come with us.
This is ridiculous.
If Eun Dae Gu isn't her husband's son, then why did Yoo Ae Yun do it?
But during the investigation, Yoo Ae Yun
truly believed that I was Shin Ji Il's son.
This is quite mysterious.
So, Yoo Ae Yun was mistaken?
Our only option is to find her and ask her directly.
Since she disappeared right after being released for medical reasons...
It's highly likely that she's in a suite of some university hospital.
Detective Lee, let's go make some visits.
Sure.
I'll try to find out what happened in front
of the prison when she was released.
Come with me, Park Tae Il.
Sure.
Okay.
Then I'll try to find the voice recorder one more time.
I'll go with her to find it.
Okay.
Did you get to see the test results?
That was brought to me by your son.
I was never interested in whether you
were my father or not from the beginning.
So let me ask you this.
Where is Yoo Ae Yun?
I must know why Yoo Ae Yun was mistaken,
and if she wasn't mistaken...
I must know what motivated her to kill my mother.
I need some time too.
Please give me some time to assess the whole situation.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden? You even signed the document.
I signed it as you told me because of the
pressure from the shareholders' meeting.
But I feel like I should see her at least once.
See her at least once?
You treated her as if she was invisible for many decades.
And now you want to see her?
She's become like that because of me. I can't possibly ignore her.
You've always been like that. You always managed to escape yourself.
Just as if you didn't do anything wrong.
Even when you first married into this family, you
put on an act as if you hated joining my family.
But in the end, it was your own choice to
cross my home's threshold and join me.
You always pretended to be a victim even
though you were busy fulfilling your greed.
And now you want to pretend like you are a good husband?
I'll decide whether to get my daughter out of there or not.
I've always been the real protector of my daughter.
Not you. Me.
How are you any different from me?
People like us who started from nothing are all the same.
Either we rely on our wives' money, or we steal it.
At least I won't rely on my own child.
Where is Ae Yun?
Do you remember her?
Yes, the woman who was carried away in an ambulance!
She woke me up from my nap with her screams!
She was resisting two men by her sides who
were trying to put her in the ambulance.
She was resisting?
Yes.
Maybe she was hospitalized against her will.
That can't be. Forced hospitalization requires familial consent.
Dear sponsor...
Because you sent me to the English Village, I experienced many new things.
I had a great trip thanks to you.
Now I have memories to cherish.
I've received your books. I really like them.
In conclusion, thank you.
I got into law school. I leave here tomorrow.
Thank you very much for everything so far.
I found it.
- Did you really find it? - I did.
You've really found it! Great job!
Please tell me again. What am I supposed to do?
Go do this again. With the opposite result.
Of course, you'll have to manipulate the testers too.
Yoo Moon Bae!
So you want me to fake the DNA test result?
You want the test result to show that Kim Ji Yong is Shin Ji Il's son.
And are you going to show the fake result to your daughter?
This is the only way I can get Ae Yun to support me before the election.
I can't let her cut off my campaign money
for her stupid husband's business.
But you need to promise me to take care of me once you get elected.
Don't worry about that. Just get your job done flawlessly.
So, in the end, even Yoo Ae Yun got tricked by her father?
And now she's locked up in a mental hospital.
This is it?
The reason why my mother died?
Hello, Detective Seo.
Long time no see.
I knew we'd meet again someday.
Take every piece of information you can!
Go through every cabinet and drawer!
- Yes, sir! - Search there!
What are you doing?
What are you doing right now?
Haven't you heard? I'm the new prosecutor on the case.
Of course that also means the investigation team will change.
All thanks to your passion, Detective Seo.
What are you talking about? Why is the investigation team changing?
You hid away an important piece of
evidence from the prosecutors and lost it.
And you just investigated on your own
without getting the prosecutors involved!
Did you think everything will be okay after all this?
Who do you think we are?
No, who do you think we are?
We found that piece of evidence after 11 years, we didn't hide it.
We didn't lose it, we got robbed.
They robbed it from us while Detective Park
was trying to protect it with his life!
That's enough, Detective Uh.
Why, Detective? This doesn't make any sense.
We gave everything we found to them. But they tried
to bury this case without further investigation.
They're the reason why we started our secret investigation!
What's in there? Open the door!
What is it?
What is he doing?
You're not going to use all these even after taking them.
Stop it! Stop it at once!
Do you want to get arrested?
Arrested?
Stop it, now.
Who the hell is that punk?
This is driving me crazy.
Violent bosses raise violent subordinates!
I think you should leave.
Be quiet. We'll leave when we need to leave.
Do we have everything?
We haven't searched that room yet.
We're done for the day.
We'll be back, so I'll be expecting your full cooperating next time.
If you don't want your subordinates to be
disciplined for hiding important evidence.
And Detective Seo...
The audit team will be here soon. Have fun getting audited.
Where are you going?
Out of my way. I'm quitting.
You can't, Dae Gu.
I said I'm quitting.
I don't want to be such a powerless cop anymore!
- Dae Gu! - Just calm down, okay?
For how long? How much more?
- You can't go like this, Dae Gu! - Let me go!
Don't hold it back.
You shouldn't hold it back.
It'll harm you if you keep holding back.
So don't do it anymore.
Do you think you can get to the very bottom of this case?
Do you or not?
I'll get to the bottom of it no matter what.
How about all of you?
I will.
I'll discover the truth.
I can do it.
Okay, then we must do it. But...
You must follow me regardless of what I do and the decisions I make.
Have you forgotten?
I'm Seo Pan Suk, the Legend.
Is this Mr. Park at the Joong Ang Daily?
May I speak to Ms. Lee at the Dong Won Daily?
Good afternoon, I'm calling from the Gangnam Police Station.
Today, the Prosecutor's Office released its preliminary
report on the investigation of the death of the police chief.
We've concluded that this case is a murder disguised as a car accident...
Which was perpetrated by Mrs. Yoo, the same
suspect from the Masan School Nurse murder case.
This office is focusing on collecting more
evidence and witnesses to support our indictment.
They're accusing Yoo Ae Yun as predicted.
As predicted, of course. Without any mistake.
Let's continue with our work.
Yes, sir.
What kind of major announcement are they making?
Are they going to ease our press embargo?
They might talk about something completely new.
Maybe something related to a celebrity.
Is this the only way, Pan Suk?
It's not too late to look for other ways.
I really don't think this is the solution.
How do I look?
Pan Suk...
I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain the Police Code of Ethics today.
The reason why I'm resigning today is to get someone else to resign too.

Some might say justice is dead in this land.
You pretend to be a trustworthy politician...
This is a conspiracy against me!
How could you kill a person like that?
The sky is the limit for my team's investigation.
I'll prove my innocence at all cost.
Are you still a human being?
There's nothing you can do.
I'll kill you!
