[EPISODE 4]
The puzzle piece you were talking about.
Was it me?
Was killing my father also part of that puzzle?
If he was a piece of the puzzle,
why'd you eliminate him?
Think what you want. I've got nothing to say.
Then I'll say what I'm thinking.
I don't know what puzzle you're trying to solve,
but I've got my own puzzle.
The camel.
That's all I have to go on.
What made you think that?
Until now I wasn't sure.
Now that I see your expression, I feel certain.
Now it seems that maybe I've found one more piece.
Kang Daehun, who died in prison,
and then the guy who chased down Park Dongwoo,
they both had the same tattoo.
If these two cases are connected,
that means I've got another piece of the puzzle.
From now on, I'm…
investigating all of it, both the murder of my grandfather and Kang Daehun.
Somewhere in all of it, I'll find a connection to you.
The puzzle, once scattered, is coming together.
I learned this from you.
The things you taught me, none of it's been wrong.
Can we really take him out, warden?
The news makes him out to be super famous.
A star, they say. A superstar.
I don't know if it's wise to mess with a star.
Finish him tomorrow.
That might require a little more dog food.
But only because I see how desperate you are.
There's no one around.
Yu Hee… I think she's going to look into the Yu Hyeonil abduction case.
Don't we have to stop her?
We can't.
We don't know what they'll do.
All right.
Oh, but I have something to tell you.
It looks like they're going to try again.
If I find the exact date, I'll give you a sign.
- Okay. - Yes.
9778! What's taking so long? Come out.
As you suspected, he met with someone.
It's not the kind of thing you do alone.
It was the doctor he was talking to in the bathroom!
I don't know exactly what was said,
but he's definitely up to something.
Don't tell me… it was Professor Han and the doctor who got together
and planned Kang Daehun's death?
I think it was them. He's a doctor, after all.
They say it was poison that killed Kang.
I think he did it to keep himself alive.
To be honest, this is making me uneasy. If it's what you want, I'll do it,
but the scale here is no joke.
Could they have killed Kang Daehun?
If so, it was to protect himself.
Gramps, you know the warden is with the D-4 group, right?
Let's wait and see what happens. He's a clever guy.
He must have something up his sleeve.
Hey, hey, don't just stand there talking. Move apart and get to work.
And the thing I asked about?
Yep, right here.
A meticulous record of the chairman's last three years.
But you know…
It's just…
What is it?
Well…
I don't know if what I'm going to say will help or not.
Sir… I'm alone now.
And I work with the police. Please speak freely.
All right.
When you were studying abroad, something happened to the chairman.
What…
He was concerned that you might worry about him if you knew.
So he asked me not to tell you.
But now that he's gone,
and your father is too…
The man in prison, Professor Han Seungmin,
he once came to see the chairman.
The chairman was nearly abducted.
By whom?
They never caught them. Heard they all committed suicide, too.
The chairman was stabbed
and nearly died.
While he was recovering in the hospital,
Professor Han came to see him.
He declined to see him and asked him to go away.
But suddenly, the Professor gave me something strange.
After I'd given it to the chairman,
he immediately decided to meet him.
It was a book
with a gilt pattern of a camel on it.
A camel pattern?
It looks like they're going to try again.
If I find out the exact date, I'll give you a sign.
[PROSECUTOR CHA SEUNGJAE]
Who the hell are you?
Someone who knows
so very much about Yu Hongmin and Han Seungmin.
So, let's share a drink.
Someone that stupid, no way.
What nonsense. Prosecutors aren't nobodies.
You should come back when you've got time.
No.
She's on the same side as Yu Hongmin.
Wait, then…
Grandpa!
There she is, get in here!
Mr. Yun.
Oh?
[WILL AND TESTAMENT] Grandpa's got to get things in order.
It's almost time. Sit, sit!
Don't talk like that.
No, no, no. So, would you like some?
What?
I'd rather give it to you
than those two rascal sons of mine.
Your uncle is a real lout. That's no secret to anyone.
And your dad, he looks decent, but…
he's tough to figure out.
Is this why you called me here today?
No, there's something else.
Here.
[GEOSEONG APARTMENTS 1309, 11-282, JUNGANG-DONG, ANLIM]
Go live there.
Listen to your grandfather this time.
Grandpa…
Hee, listen…
However hard things get,
never easily give away your trust or depend on others.
Sometimes that trust becomes a weapon that can be used against you.
Go slowly and stay suspicious
and look at things with a dispassionate eye.
And I mean everyone, no exceptions.
Understand?
Yes, Grandpa.
I don't know what
the two of them talked about,
but after the professor left,
the chairman exploded with rage.
He called for the mayor and the two of them had a loud argument.
It was a personal matter, so I don't know the full details,
but something big had happened.
It was only afterward that he began thinking about giving away his wealth.
Still, he never made a statement to the police,
and never explained what he was thinking.
He just kept his mouth firmly shut.
He couldn't sleep for days
and had very little appetite.
I'd served him for my whole life, but I'd never seen him like that.
As you know, your grandfather was a very strong man.
I'd never seen him looking so weak.
[VIOLENT CRIMES UNIT]
Tag along, we're getting coffee.
Chief Inspector, I'd like to talk with you.
In private?
Yes.
All right.
- What's up? - How would I know?
Are we a team or not?
So, what is it?
Was my grandfather involved in a kidnapping?
Why are you asking that?
Please just tell me truthfully.
Victims can request that criminal cases be made unavailable to the public.
Your grandfather wanted it off the record.
So did your father.
I'd like to see the case files.
- Lieutenant. - Consider it a favor.
Han Seungmin and my grandfather have something to do with the case.
Before the attempted kidnapping,
Han Seungmin went to see my grandfather.
Huh? He did?
Damn, now what's that mean?
This is driving me nuts.
All right. I'll tell Seongpil to get the files.
But listen. It's just this once.
Understood. Thank you.
Han Seungmin…
will be dealt with tomorrow.
[WARDEN'S OFFICE]
[CAMEL PATTERN]
Are you crazy?
It's what's best for everyone.
I can't do it.
I'll take Yu Hee and go to my parents in the U.S.
Your wonderful plan, do it without me!
Why can't you see sense?
It's in our best interests, and it will provide Yu Hee with a future!
You! You're out of your mind!
What on earth happened to make you like this?
You… You don't own us!
Mom…
Mom!
Mom! Mom!!
It happens tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
How do you know?
What do we have to do?
[ANLIM PRISON INMATE REGISTER]
This is the inmate list for Anlim Prison.
Oh, and I checked who Professor Han's assets were signed over to.
But something is strange there.
What's strange?
It's not family and they don't seem to have any connection with Professor Han.
Who is it?
I looked into it and…
it was his sister's fiancé, the sister who died in a car accident two years ago.
But they were never even married,
and it wasn't chump change, either.
However you look at it, it's weird, right?
So who is it?
I got it all ready for you.
He's a doctor.
[PERSONNEL RECORDS, KIM MINJAE]
Lieutenant?
Lieutenant, I got the files you asked for…
She asks me to do her a favor and then she runs away.
I barely found the file.
Which case is this?
It was before your time. You don't need to know.
- Seongpil! - Eh?
What?
You like me, right?
Why are you getting up on me? T-Talk from there.
Guys can't say no when the girl they like asks for a favor, right?
I guess that's true. But why?
Are you going to do me a favor?
What is it?
It would be nice if…
you would show me the files the lieutenant requested.
Fine, but I don't expect anything from you.
Take a look. No one's stopping you.
Thank you.
Why do you want to see that mess anyway?
I want to help her. I feel kind of sorry for the lieutenant.
Can't you take pity on me too?
I already told you how scary my dad is.
Well, I'm not giving up.
[YU HYEONIL CASE - SUSPECTS COMMIT GROUP SUICIDE]
[SECTION D-4]
The trial date has been set.
It won't be long now until you're free.
But also…
It's time to work! Everyone out!
Everyone except 9778.
Why? Why leave 9778?
So some work and others play?
How fair, huh?
Hey, shut it.
Warden's instructions. Let's go!
Wait here.
Han Seungmin…
will be killed today.
Guard! Guard!
Hey, guard!
What's this? Hey, Yu Cheolhee!
- Hey, shithead! - What the hell are you doing?
What are you guys doing?
Hey, go and check.
Yes, boss.
What the hell?
He's not here.
What? It's this room. Stay focused!
Of course he's here, come on.
What the hell are you doing, Cheolhee?
- The panda-looking bastard is so noisy. - Hey!
Come on, shut up.
What do you think you're doing?
What the!
The * was hiding!
Let me go.
Long time no see.
Where's your crew, buddy?
It's dangerous to hide alone like this.
We thought you'd be lonely, so we came to play.
What do you say? Wanna play tag?
Mr. Kim Minjae!
Mr. Kim!
Hey, Mr. Kim!
Mr. Kim!
I'm Lieutenant Yu Hee, Anlim Police Department.
Were you or were you not engaged to Han Yeonju, Han Seungmin's sister?
It won't be easy this time either.
You're dead if we catch you.
Let's count to three. One…
Two, three, get him.
Guard!
Hey, turns out this really isn't easy, huh?
Who the hell are you really?
Why is a professor this good at fighting? You're wild as hell.
And here I even brought tougher guys than last time.
What kind of teacher are you? Martial arts?
Who ordered this?
Who do you think?
Will knowing change anything?
I'm just doing what I'm told since they pay me.
What's wrong with you guys? Stop wasting time!
Get him, you lousy bastards!
The emergency alarm! The emergency alarm!
You stupid shitheads!
Everyone stop!
Hey, buddy.
This took way too long. Look here.
You guys saw it, right? He almost killed me.
Hey, give me that.
You bastard, hurry up.
You're all witnesses!
This bastard attacked us,
provoked us and ran off!
We had no choice but to fight!
It was self-defense. Accidental homicide!
This is karma.
It's your fault, right?
You never stop talking, huh?
If you're done listening, then die already.
This bastard's laughing.
No dying yet.
You piece of shit!
Wait…
- Damn it, not the panda again… stop 'em! - Hey, *!
Let go.
You're not even convicts. Stop it and go.
You old fart! You nuts?
Let me go old timer!
Suicide?
Inmates regularly attempt suicide,
but suicide by ingesting a poisonous substance is peculiar.
And whatever this was is even stranger.
Generally you'd expect
the victim to ingest easy to find substances like bleach and detergents.
And generally the suicides are a failure.
Though,
if you've got money, you can get anything in here.
Sorry, who are you?
I'm the prison doctor.
I remember seeing you when Kang Daehun died at the prison.
You remember me, don't you?
- Yes. - That's all?
Is there something more I should know?
Mind if I ask you some questions?
I've learned that you received all of Han Seungmin's assets.
And you were engaged to marry his late sister.
Is that a problem?
And what business do the police have knowing that?
Have you recently been to Han Seungmin's home?
His house was part of the transferred assets.
You applied to work at Anlim Prison, didn't you?
Because the Corrections Department has very few medical applicants,
they generally allow the doctor to choose their assignment.
The prison is also close to my house.
Han Seungmin is currently incarcerated at that facility.
Seems like I'm being investigated.
I've worked at the prison for two years now.
Knowing Seungmin…
I mean, that Professor Han would someday be sent there…
I chose that position? It's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?
Did you get your answer?
One drug trafficking method
is to dilute and soak it into paper.
It's frequently utilized in international smuggling.
This paper is excellent material, as it's so thin and easily permeated.
If you didn't recognize that, it suggests you lack ability.
Don't you agree?
Any profiler who'd missed this would have proven themselves unqualified.
Unqualified is a bit harsh, isn't it?
If you've nothing more to say, I'll be on my way.
Um, perhaps…
Do you…
Do you know anything about the camel pattern?
Maybe you know something
about a book with a camel imprint on the cover?
A camel pattern? What's that?
[A CLEAN, SAFE CITY OF HOPE]
These are the files you asked Seongpil to get.
He left for the night, but I stayed to make sure you got them.
Thanks.
It seemed urgent, so…
But, why go over an old case?
Oh, maybe it's a secret?
Honestly, I don't know either.
I'm just now learning about it.
What are you learning about?
Anyway, I'm on your side…
Maybe it would be okay if outside of work I call you unni?
Okay, whatever you like.
I'm definitely on your team, unni.
If you ever need anything, just let me know.
[PARK DAEWOO, CHOI CHEOLWOO, KIM SOYEON]
I see you got the files.
Yes.
All three of them killed themselves.
- Is forensics here? - Yes, they're here.
Excuse me.
The two men came from the countryside.
Only the woman, Kim Soyeon, was from Anlim.
Kim Soyeon. That is such an ordinary name.
Why would such an ordinary young woman get involved in an attempted abduction?
The records don't even hint at her motive.
It wasn't just her. The motives of all three were a mystery.
We couldn't even find a connection between the three.
First offenders, all three. They killed themselves before the arrest.
Nothing concrete from beginning to end.
Actually, there is one thing.
Hmm?
From the video, it looks like she's directing the others.
But in truth, she was taking orders from someone else.
Keep talking.
If you look here, it looks like this was the first time they'd met.
They look uncomfortable.
Kim Soyeon ushers them in
and then the two accompany her to the crime scene.
Right, total strangers met up
to go and commit a violent crime.
Kim Soyeon's phone records show
there was another person she was in contact with.
That's right.
Isn't this a 2G phone?
Yeah, looks like.
An unregistered number.
Last four digits, 2441. Unregistered, so we couldn't trace it.
The trail went cold there.
Directing two people so much older than herself…
Was she really acting of her own will?
Based on the estimated time of death,
Kim Soyeon died about four hours later than the other two.
In other words, Kim Soyeon got an order from 2441,
then, after instructing the two to commit suicide,
she then killed herself.
Anyway, I'm going to have to reopen the investigation into Kim Soyeon.
Well, so much time has passed.
Do you suppose you can find anything?
Subin! You have night duty, right?
Right.
I'll help out. Is there anything I can do?
This is heart-warming. Good luck, you two.
I'm off.
- Goodnight. - See you, Inspector.
Thanks.
[FINANCIAL STATEMENT]
Subin, we have pictures of Kim Soyeon's home, right?
Just a sec.
Here.
She was deep in debt.
She even used loan shark money to pay off card debt…
But she didn't look like a big spender.
She only had a transit card and 7,000 won cash in her wallet.
Maybe it was her house deposit or student loan debt?
That was my thought too, but there's no sign of any bank loans.
Maybe it's because of a guy?
Doesn't look like it judging by her calls.
[PHONE HISTORY]
She wasn't really in contact with anyone.
So where'd she spend all of that money?
What was her home address again?
Here…
[RESIDENT REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE] It was a housing project rented out
[RESIDENT REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE] by the city or the national government.
She lived in one of those.
What was it that put her in that situation?
What frightened her so much that
- she'd participate in such crime? - I wonder.
What for?
For what purpose
did she do it all?
Are you very worried?
Move over!
You okay?
First the roof and now this. How long will this continue?
The first time, on the roof, they moved more secretly.
Today there were lots of inmates there and they were reckless.
I don't get why, though.
Sir.
Can you get some things for me? A floor plan of the prison
that includes CCTV placement and personnel files on the guards?
That stuff will be in the office, but they're in a locked cabinet.
Oh, and…
you can make a key, right?
Sure, that's my specialty.
But it'll cost you.
There is no clear evidence
that the defendant Park Hyeon exerted any kind of force
on the victims.
Also, the victims' testimony
was withdrawn from the record,
and the evidence that the prosecution has submitted alone is insufficient
to prove the victims' * freedom was violated.
Therefore, this court finds
and admits only the charges of incitement of violence and intimidation
and finds the defendant not guilty of all other charges.
Considering the two years and four months of time already served
and the prescribed maximum sentencing guidelines,
the court orders that the defendant be released in 32 days.
Congratulations!
Thank you. Still…
It doesn't seem like it is the time to rest on our laurels.
Don't you agree?
Ah, you're thinking of Han Seungmin.
What worries you? The warden here is doing his best.
And our leader will be released in 30 days.
Han Seungmin will remain in prison.
It's 32 days, to be exact.
And Han Seungmin killed Kang Daehun
a day after he'd been incarcerated there.
So you shut your mouth!
To start, all of his food
is being delivered from the outside,
and we're inspecting it all closely,
so our leader should be in no danger.
And the charitable foundation?
No issues.
Chairwoman!
Please forgive us. I just went crazy.
Every day I reflect on and regret everything. So, please…
So please let my family-
If vulgar creatures like you
threaten him one more time…
It won't just be you that die, but your entire families.
Got it?
Yes, I understand.
Deal with it.
Yes, Madam.
Yu Hee came looking for me. She knows about the camel.
And?
I danced around it as well as I could, but I don't think she believed me.
And the verdict?
It's as we have expected.
Seungmin.
There are 32 days left.
I'll have to go as fast as I can.
You're looking haggard. You must have not been sleeping well.
I'm quite busy. I don't have much time to spare.
This is the Inheritance registration form.
It's the apartment your grandfather left for you.
It took some time to clear.
Right.
Still, it's your lucky day.
Including the real estate and the capital assets, it's massive.
It doesn't matter. Have you found a suitable charity?
Mayor Yu made the selection.
My father did?
I heard that he discussed this with a social welfare organization in Anlim.
It's called the Ilsim Foundation.
They help female art students from difficult family backgrounds.
It was once a bit more high-profile,
but they've struggled as of late with funding issues.
They aim to start again with people who are dedicated to their cause.
I looked into it myself and it has no issues.
Good. As long as the money is put to good use.
Huh? You want me to just leave him alone?
Yeah.
Until I indicate otherwise, don't stir anything up.
Yeah, but…
[ANLIM PRISON / TO - PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE / SUBJECT - TRANSFER REQUEST, HAN SEUNGMIN]
Are you transferring him out?
Will that work? When's he going?
Now why are you curious about that?
Because… I still have some payback to give.
Do you know that he's got helpers?
Yeah, I do.
What could he have offered them?
The old-timer and his panda are guarding him closely.
What's the old-timer in here for, anyway?
The look in his eye is real fright night stuff.
- His name is Lee Seongsu. - Lee Seongsu? Lee Seongsu… Lee Seong…
Lee Seongsu? The 1-vs-12… no, 1-vs-13 guy?
All by himself he took out
thirteen Yangdongi Syndicate guys. The slasher legend Lee Seongsu?
Wow, so he was here!
He's some kinda knife virtuoso.
Right, so you don't want to mess with him.
He's in another league.
Another league, he says…
Makes sense though. He's got some laser beam eyes, like…
I'll be going.
Hurry up! Let's get this done.
Come on, stop messing around! Move!
Come on, work harder.
Did you come to sunbathe?
Hurry up! Be quick so we can go eat already!
Hey guard, you dropped your keys.
Hey, hurry it up!
Okay.
- Like this, got it? - Be quick so I can go eat.
Until the East Sea and Mt. Baekdu…
All you have to do is carve it away like this.
That's all it takes?
That cabinet will open as long as the key more or less fits.
I told you, didn't I? It's my specialty.
Don't worry yourself.
Back in school, I always used to get into the cabinets like this.
For a big guy, you've got amazing dexterity.
You know, my mom always said… that I should learn a trade.
"Stop wasting time and learn a trade," she said.
Anyhow, it was my bread and butter.
If that was true, how'd you end up in here?
The gangsters, they offered me a bunch of money to open doors.
And soon I was convinced I was one too, and it became my main gig.
Sorry to a say, but I know from experience that gangster stuff pays better.
It's hard to be proud of yourself when you're spending dirty money.
Yeah, ain't that true.
Once I get out, I plan to live as honorably as I can.
Making me run all over like this…
I said it would be a one time thing. Remember?
Last time the money was good, but…
I'm not up for more.
I'd hate to lose my regulars because I'm helping some one-time guy-
I'll pay you twice as much as last time.
Oh, then it's very possible. Very.
Double eases my mind. If I stay on top of it, it'll be fine.
Still…
What's going on with you and Han Seungmin?
Don't ask?
For the time being, we're hanging back. Warden's orders.
I think he's up to something, and I'll tell you if I find out, okay?
Double. Remember our deal now.
I'll take out the trash.
All right.
[VOLUNTEER] I'll just run to the toilet quick.
[DATA FROM THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, DEATH ROW LIST,]

[PRISONER & STAFF DIRECTORY]
[RETIRED OFFICERS DIRECTORY, GUARDS PERSONAL INFORMATION,…]
You finished? Thanks again.
- Have a good shift. - Yep.
Welcome back.
No, no. As you were.
Word came. They said the money has been deposited.
Jeez, what is going on?
But is it really safe?
- What? - I'm just saying, this is a little…
I just think it might be a bad idea.
- If the warden were to find out- - What?
Playing both sides is good.
And it won't be a problem?
Life is a tightrope act. Enjoy it.
It's tense and exciting.
Damn it, I hate that guy.
Okay, let's do it.
[NAME - YU CHEOLHEE / ADDRESS - ANLIM PRISON, 7 HEEMANG-RO, ANLIM]
Enjoy your coffee.
[HOLY BIBLE]
Guard! Help, Guard! Guard!
Shut up! Come save who?
I'm going to have to go meet the old-timer.
No need to get antsy.
I'm here to give you a piece of info.
Transferring Han Seungmin?
Yes. For now, we'll put him in solitary
using the fight as an excuse.
And tomorrow we apply to transfer him.
Legally, any inmate involved in such an incident
can be removed from the prison.
That's fine too, but…
Our leader will be out within one month.
And within that time, we can send Han Seungmin somewhere else.
But what if it's true?
What if Han Seungmin…
really did kill Yu Hongmin in order to get into the prison?
If it is true…
and this was all a part of some plan…
Just kill him.
Leaving him alive could just create future complications.
You've got to nip problems in the bud.
When you think about it, with him in prison now,
isn't this a perfect opportunity?
Yes, I understand.
I did prepare something, just in case.
The warden's transferring him.
It must be weird hearing this from me.
Yeah, why are you telling me?
I have my reasons. Just get ready, all right?
Yes, come in.
Sit.
I've…
got an offer for you.
[PAROLE RECOMMENDATION]
Han Seungmin…
kill him.
[WOMEN'S SAFE SPACE / HAPPINESS APTS.]
[CRIME PUZZLE]
Do you know who's left?
There's no other way.
That case last year, did it involve Mayor Yu Hongmin?
The file's safe, right?
You should nip it in the bud.
He's killing without a second thought.
Under the guise of religion.
Yu Hee, she's in danger.
Professor Han, you just might know too much for your own good.
I can't give you more time.
