(If anything is true, it's a coincidence,)
(and use of some real names are only to add a touch of reality.)
(They are completely unrelated.)
My job was to kill you too.
Who was it? Who sent you?
"Cho Huin Dal?"
There's a white spot on his wrist.
Shaped like a half-moon.
You can't understand me.
You're right.
I grew up without my parents' love.
Let's get revenge after that.
We're a family.
Okay. Shall we get started?
The safe under Kim Young Soo's bedroom.
We got it.
"Joseon Conquest War Record."
There are flash drives.
Darn it!
We got caught.
With that, not even Huin Dal will notice.
We can't have him notice.
If he finds out that his only sister died like that...
"Legend has it..."
"that receiving it will grant you eternal life."
Who was the bastard that killed Hwa Yeon?
It was Shota.
(Previously)
I believe...
that Kim Young Soo is after the Bead of Eternal Life.
Because in the end, victory will be mine.
Because the fated day...
that I have awaited...
is today!
(Final episode)
Check the IDs of each person...
in cars with license plate numbers starting with 24-G-1560...
or cars with two or more people.
(Main Hall)
- Hello? - As we expected,
they're doing inspections around downtown Gyeongju.
They're already regulating the area around Cheomseongdae.
I'll take off right away.
It'll take longer than you expect...
to get here because of the inspections.
Kim Young Soo cannot get the Bead of Eternal Life.
I'll tell you the details later.
Please stop him.
I'll be there as soon as possible.
Okay.
What if we can't even get near Cheomseongdae?
Ms. Lee.
Is what I asked for ready?
Yes, of course.
Here.
Skunk is going to be a bit late.
Before Skunk arrives,
we must secure a route to Cheomseongdae.
If Skunk is late,
we must stop Kim Young Soo, no matter what.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
We need to move in this car to get close to Cheomseongdae.
We need to use all of this equipment as well.
They're looking for this car too, right?
Oh, don't worry about that.
What?
(Emille Tour)
(Inspections)
Hello, officer. Did something happen?
It's nothing special.
We're just doing routine inspections.
I see.
Here.
Please only use the team phone...
- and change your ID. - Please look up license number...
Seoul 05-472819-72.
Okay. Thank you.
Here. Verification is complete.
- Okay. Thank you. - Sure.
Thank you.
(Inspections)
Okay. I have a confirmation.
License plate number 27-C-0826.
The police will track the location...
and contact you,
so take care of it.
Yes, sir.
What about Huin Dal?
He went into hiding.
He won't be able to move as the police are looking for him.
Don't worry, sir.
Eat up.
I'm not hungry.
Let's eat and take medicine.
Someone will come to meet us later.
Who?
Someone who'll take care of us from now on.
He's a very good person.
He'll help cure your illness...
and let you live in a nice house and eat nice things.
What about you?
I'll go too, of course.
- Really? - Yes.
Don't worry.
I'll always stay by your side and protect you.
Even better.
I wanted to get a look at your teeth.
You need to go see your sister.
She kept calling your name even while she was dying.
(Inspections)
The person you have reached is unavailable. Please leave a...
- Gosh. - Is he not picking up?
- Let's get started first. - Okay.
Do you think something happened to him?
I'm sure Dae Myeong would want us to get started.
It's not just around here.
They're regulating the area in a 100m radius...
- around Cheomseongdae right now. - What?
How could they do that?
At first, they told people it was for facility inspections.
Now, there's been a report...
that an explosive has been installed near Cheomseongdae.
The police, military, and fire department...
are all here now.
First,
we must get through the barricades...
and see Cheomseongdae from all sides.
We might need a lookout,
so let's move in pairs.
Ae Ri. You can do it, right?
- Of course. - Okay.
Okay. Come with me, Ae Ri.
- Min Woo. - Yes, sir.
Go with Doctor Ko.
What?
Oh, let's do that.
- Yes, sir. - Ms. Lee.
Go with Chang Hoon.
Okay. I will.
Even the bomb disposal unit is here.
What?
- Wait. - What is it?
That guy. We served in the army together.
What a small world.
Were you two close?
Of course.
Okay, this is good.
Chang Hoon,
- you'll be operating alone. - What?
Ms. Lee, can you be our eyes and ears in the van?
Okay. You got it.
Chang Hoon, come here.
Listen up.
You need to go see your sister.
She kept calling your name even while she was dying.
(Traffic Control)
- Is everything good? - Yes, we're all good here.
- Have a good one. - You too.
Let's go. Go on.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
(No Entry)
Ms. Lee, they've been installed.
Okay.
- Move! - Coming through.
(Police)
This is section three at the Hanok Village.
- We have sparks. - Please exit.
Dae Myeong.
- What's wrong? - Where's the suit?
(No Entry)
How did it go?
I almost had him. But Cho Huin Dal interfered...
which stopped me from ending him.
Cho Huin Dal?
Are you saying that he made it all the way here?
Yes, sir. But don't worry since I did a number on him.
The same goes for Skunk.
Darn it.
Should I take the boys and end him for good?
No, don't.
The game is already over anyway.
From 10:27pm to 10:45pm,
no one...
is to be in the vicinity of Cheomseongdae.
Yes, sir.
Assemblyman Lee, my goodness.
Thank you for making this long trip.
There's no need to thank me.
Of course I should be here.
Time is of the essence, so let us go.
Sure thing.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
The ground is currently off-limits.
Hey, you. Don't you know who I am?
I'm Assemblyman Lee Chang Soo.
Didn't you receive special orders from the police commissioner?
Pardon?
Right. Of course, sir.
Please enter.
Good.
Keep up the good work.
Darn it.
They have drones at their disposal.
Set up signal blockers...
and turn them on when I give the order.
Stay on alert until the very end!
Men have been stationed around the area.
Is that so? Good.
All right. Get to work!
That's it. A little higher.
- There you go. - It seems like...
two of them got past the checkpoint.
What?
- Deal with them. - Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
All right. That's it. A little more.
A little more.
We're running out of time and must hurry.
Got it. We're almost there.
Are you all right? Why did you do that?
Hang in there. I'll take you to a doctor.
No, don't.
I'm fine. You should get going.
Don't you even say it.
Get on my back.
Min Woo.
Please. Just go.
I have already wronged you enough.
So let me be and go.
What's going on?
Doctor Ko's injured.
Doctor Ko?
- Mr. Hwang. - Quiet.
I'm glad you made it on time.
Ms. Lee, what's going on?
They spotted Min Woo,
and Doctor Ko's injured.
What?
- I'll go to them. - Wait.
I'll help them out, so complete the mission.
All right.
- Ae Ri. - Yes?
Return to the van...
- and stay with Ms. Lee. - Sure.
Here I go.
Finally!
The handle of the Big Dipper...
finally dipped into the well.
Now, look for it.
Sure.
A little more.
Rotate.
That's it.
I found it.
I found it!
I found it.
Gosh, I found it.
That is where...
all my treasure has been.
Quickly lower the drone...
and activate the signal blockers.
Right now!
All right. Let us move out.
What...
Lee, where are you headed?
You're supposed...
to be stationed in B3, not C5.
It happened for real.
The handle is about to dip into the well.
Chang Hoon, wait.
Colonel, we have an issue.
(Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit)
Get him!
(Police)
Hey, you lot!
Come here.
Come at me instead!
- Darn you. - Die!
You punk.
Darn you.
Go now, Skunk.
Post B3 near Cheomseongdae.
- Intruder apprehended. - You can't do this to me.
Back down for now.
- Suspect arrested, will return. - Stop it.
You have five minutes. Hurry.
I have the constellation.
My gosh.
The fools...
- Min Woo. - Yes?
- Are you all right? - Yes.
Then let's go.
One,
two,
three.
Are you okay?
I'm good.
We located the shrine.
Kim Young Soo has a head start, so you must catch up fast.
Let's go.
- Doctor Ko. - Doctor Ko!
- Help him up. - Okay. One, two.
I'll keep them occupied. You should go.
No, I'll stay.
That's impossible.
I'm a cop, so I'll be fine.
I'll let them take me in.
- And I'll get him to a hospital. - Shoot.
Go, now.
There they are!
Hello, officers. How are you?
- I'm... - Arrest him.
Why would you arrest me?
I'm a cop. I'm one of you.
I said I'd come voluntarily!
- Can a cop do this to another cop? - Hey!
I was on official business.
Seriously.
Darn you.
You'll regret this.
Wait. Where am I going?
Where am I going?
Why are you putting me in here?
Will you let me go?
This is really upsetting.
Hey.
How are things?
Your captain was arrested and so was Chang Hoon.
Doctor Ko's on his way to a hospital.
Don't worry too much.
Once we succeed, everything will go back to normal.
Okay.
Let's go.
- Ae Ri, let's go. - Got it.
There are a lot of treasures in the shrine.
Even if Kim Young Soo finds them first,
he can't do anything with them right away.
It's not the treasures that he wants.
Once he gets the Bead of Eternal Life,
not just him,
but everyone nearby...
will die.
What?
What do you mean?
The road ends here.
Okay.
Wait.
Is that the place?
- Let's go. - Okay.
Explain quick. Why will everyone die?
Eternal life?
I think the opposite makes more sense.
- What? - It's said that...
the people who found it all died.
Then why does legend say the stone gives eternal life?
If a mysterious rock that causes a miracle...
is sealed and protected in a temple, unbeknownst to others,
people begin to talk of the rock's fantastical powers.
Word of mouth tends to get embellished,
and people added what they wished for to the stories.
That's how the rock got its name.
Then...
why did you try to get it back?
To prevent an even worse calamity.
As long as that rock is out there,
the threat will exist also.
My goodness.
My father was afraid the rock would kill people driven by greed,
and wanted to put an end to it.
What about the rock?
If it's exposed to light and heat,
everyone close to it dies.
What?
The War Record book Ae Ri deciphered...
said that's the way to gain eternal life.
It's a trick, like the booby-trapped rooms.
Wait.
If the Bead of Eternal Life causes death...
instead of giving eternal life,
can't we let it do its thing?
Everyone who flocked to find it...
is a criminal or a murderer.
They're also your sworn enemy.
The people my father wanted to save...
were just like them.
I'll get him myself...
and make him stand trial.
(Emille Tour)
Ms. Lee, I'm at the end of the road.
What?
I'll come too.
No. I'll go alone.
- But... - I'm finishing my father's work.
I must do it alone.
Watch your step.
I think this is it.
Look.
Up there, Shota.
The rock blocking the way.
It's different from the surrounding boulders.
Someone brought that rock here to seal the place.
Get the smallest of the explosives...
and smash that rock.
- Yes, sir. - Do it.
Yes.
I'm not sure how big the explosion will be.
My gosh.
Look at all this.
Look, fools!
This is the place!
This is the place I've been looking for my whole life!
Where my treasures are!
Wait.
My gosh.
Yes.
At last.
The mystical rock I'd been looking for.
It's in my hands at last.
Shota! Get some light on it!
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Look.
- You bastard. - Who is that?
What is that noise?
You...
Cho Huin Dal.
No. Cho Hwa Seong.
You shouldn't do this.
Fine.
This...
is all I need.
You can have everything here.
You can have everything!
Your sister,
Hwa Yeon.
What happened with her...
I'm...
sorry.
It wasn't intentional.
Everyone...
dies...
at some point.
But...
if we have...
this,
we won't die.
We can live forever.
Okay. You will...
live forever with me.
What do you think?
You...
are crazy.
No. You don't know...
about the great power...
this stone holds.
Give it to me!
It's mine!
Give it to me! It's mine!
Give it to me now!
Give it to me, I say!
I'll gladly...
give it to you.
Yes!
Sorry.
I have a lot I want to say,
but I'm just...
- sorry for everything. - No.
No. Don't die.
If you truly feel sorry, don't die.
Dying is too easy.
You killed my father and mother.
All of the people you killed.
And your sister.
Keep living and think about them.
Keep living in pain, you bastard.
To you, living...
will be more painful than dying.
Hello.
I'm Senior Inspector Jang Tae In from Seoul Metropolitan...
Police Agency's Cultural Heritage team.
I will now provide updates regarding the investigation...
on the theft of relics, murder,
conspiracy to commit murder, and bribery...
that occurred in Gyeongju.
Kim Young Soo made an illegal organization...
within Mugunghwa Foundation...
and used it for murder and other illegal cases.
My team was aware of this, and we arrested...
the entire organization after investigation.
We found the body of Han Young Ae,
Kim Young Soo's secretary who was murdered in his house.
We have identified Cho Hwa Seong as the suspect.
Cho Hwa Seong turned himself in right after the Gyeongju incident.
He has confessed...
to all murders he has committed...
in addition to Han Young Ae.
He's also giving testimony regarding all crimes...
Kim Young Soo has committed.
We found and seized Kim Young Soo's records of bribery...
and records of illegal organ transplants...
in his home.
- We are investigating those... - Nice.
involved with the bribes.
The relic found in the cave...
has been moved to the Cultural Heritage Administration.
We have already begun an excavation survey.
The Cultural Heritage Team...
will do our best...
to track down the relics used for illegal bribes...
and return them to the people of this nation as soon as possible.
Gosh.
Captain Jang looks great on camera.
Doesn't he look at least five years younger?
How can you care about that right now?
What? Why?
It'd be nice if we were part of the briefing.
Why did you turn them down?
Gosh. Hey.
You still have more to learn.
- Learn what? - Ae Ri.
We're secret agents.
Oh, right.
If our faces get out there,
we're at risk of being known by the public.
You're right.
You still have a long way to go.
Couldn't you have told me that sooner?
I spent a lot getting dolled up today.
Whatever.
Anyway, let's go.
Sure. Got it.
Mr. Hwang.
- What now? - You should drive.
I'm a little tired, you see.
But why...
(Cultural Heritage Administration)
I get it. We're keeping our identities hidden.
Okay.
(Cultural Heritage Administration)
But why is she sitting in the back?
She could easily sit in the passenger seat.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm Assemblyman Lee Chang Soo.
That's not the last of it.
- Over here. - Here he comes.
Come on.
Do you have anything to say?
I'm sure you're familiar with this.
Commissioner,
you have the right to remain silent.
You also have the right to consult an attorney.
You should be more careful about what you eat.
- Hey, Chang Hoon. - Yes?
- Get him digestive medicine. - Here you go.
- What do you think you're doing? - Come on.
Watch your head, sir.
- So... - There he is.
- Wait. - Get over here.
Get back here, you punk.
Hey.
- No, don't. - Unbelievable.
Okay, fine. I won't run.
- I'll come with you. - Do so while I ask nicely.
- Over there? - Yes, we're headed there.
That's it. You haven't changed at all.
- Come on. - Make way.
- Any words? - Out of the way.
Do you admit to the charges?
What's your connection to Mugunghwa Foundation?
- Please say a few words. - Do you admit...
to being bribed by Kim Young Soo?
- Can you share your thoughts? - Any words?
- Over here. - We must move out, so step aside.
Meanwhile, after investigating...
the list of illegal organ donations...
found in Kim Young Soo's residence,
the police arrested Director Park of Hope Orphanage,
Director Im of Hope Hospital,
and all those involved.
As for Skunk, the specialized thief...
in cultural assets,
was also revealed by the Cultural Heritage Team...
as a thief hired by Kim Young Soo.
The police are looking to identify the man behind the mask,
but they have yet to be successful.
I can't believe it.
Did you see that?
What on earth is that?
Wait. Who was it?
Who took that photo?
As if that's important right now.
You made it on the news.
How is that not important?
Anyway, every time you report about Skunk,
use this photo from now on. I'll send you a copy.
Send it over. Although, I don't know if we'll ever use it.
- Right. - Okay.
You all did great.
But for the time being,
all of us, and not just Skunk, will fall off the grid.
Do good work in your rightful positions.
When bad people surface again,
we'll put the band back together. Got it?
- Sure. - Got it.
Okay.
- Good job. - Gosh.
Gosh, hello.
Where's the patient staying in this room?
Oh, him? He was discharged this morning.
- What? - That reminds me.
Are you Choi Min Woo, by any chance?
Yes, that's me.
Just a second.
Sure.
- Here you go. - What is it?
He wanted me to give it to you when you come by.
I see. Thank you.
Shall we get going, then? We should let Ms. Lee rest.
Sure thing. Good job, everyone.
Officer Shin,
can you drop me off somewhere on your way home?
Sure thing.
Aren't you going to stay the night?
Well, Yeon Ji and Yeon Seok are at my house.
They're going to stay a few days.
Sure thing.
- Good job, guys. - Good night.
What is it?
Ae Ri, I'm super tired today.
Being a novice driver,
it's dangerous for me to drive in the woods.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not falling for that.
I saw you drive like a car racer.
You drive.
- We'll get going. - Sure.
Bye.
Good night.
Hey! Be gentle, will you?
Whatever.
But Captain Jang, you don't have a car.
My place is in the opposite direction,
so I couldn't ask them to drop me off.
My gosh. That's sweet of you.
Gosh, that's hardly true.
Why don't you take one of my cars, then?
I have about seven of them in my garage...
that have hardly been on the road.
- Seven? - Yes.
Just a second. I'll get you the key.
Wait.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
It's the weekend tomorrow.
Well...
How about we go for a drive?
A drive?
That's right.
Right now?
Yes.
You and me?
Yes.
I heard that...
a live dance cafe opened in Yangpyeong,
and it's open all night.
They play the most amazing music that has you dancing the twist.
Gosh.
Well, maybe we should.
Shall we?
Allow me to get ready.
Can you wait a while?
Sure. Please take your time.
Gosh.
- Nice. - There you go.
- Yes! - One, two, three.
- Oh, no. - Nice!
Just a second.
- Gosh. - It's going to drop.
- Drop! - Nice.
This one?
Yes.
- Nice! - Yes!
Yeon Seok, two for you.
Did she fall asleep or something?
It's freezing out here.
She's killing me.
Ms. Lee, I waited two hours...
My gosh.
Two hours?
I can see why you took so long.
I got ready as fast as I could.
How do I look?
You look great.
I don't think you could look better.
Where do you buy all of these outfits?
- Shall we? - Okay.
Gosh, I feel under-dressed.
- That reminds me. - Yes?
There's something I'm curious about.
What is it?
You know the story between Min Woo and Doctor Ko, don't you?
I know you do. Right?
I do, but...
he wanted to keep it a secret.
Then,
is Doctor Ko Min Woo's father?
No, it's not that.
Then what is it?
You should ask them in person.
I'm sure you'll see them soon.
Come on. Let's do the twist today until our feet catch fire.
Min Woo,
your father didn't abandon you.
He died while saving my life.
I'm sorry that I left you without a parent.
Your father...
loved you dearly.
There he is.
Goodbye.
Do you think the dreadful karma has gone?
We should hope so.
Thanks to you all, I managed to complete...
my father's mission.
Thanks, everyone.
Well done.
- Nice one. - Good job.
(3 months later)
- Cheers. - Cheers.
We'll begin the welcoming party for Ms. Jin Ae Ri...
who was made Seoul Metro Police Agency's...
Heritage Crime Special Examiner.
- Okay. - Yes.
(Jin Ae Ri)
- That's so refreshing. - I hope we get along.
- I hope so. - We're a team now.
On a day like this, you should drink alcohol, not water.
It's a pity.
I'll pick it up.
Okay. I'll teach you all about drinking manners.
That's not worth setting aside a day to teach.
It doesn't hurt to learn it properly.
What's going on between you two?
What do I sense? What's blossoming?
Have you not heard from Mr. Hwang yet?
No. He won't take my calls.
How much of his sabbatical is he using?
Six months.
What? Six months?
Filling in for him must be tough.
Not really. No one notices his absence.
You speak your mind, I see.
We'll kick off the party to welcome...
Inspector Choi Min Woo to the Cultural Heritage Team.
When I got sent here, I was so disappointed.
I begged your captain and the chief...
to let me have you.
This is one exciting world.
Listen carefully. Here comes a crash course.
I'm so bored.
I can't wait for some action.
Me neither.
A huge storm blew over the whole industry.
Who'd come out of hiding? Give it some time.
Okay.
Oh, you haven't found that yet, have you?
What do you mean?
The stuff Skunk stole and gave you that you'd kept.
I went to the spot I forced the police commissioner to give up,
but they'd been moved already.
Apparently...
Kim Young Soo had said he'd give them all to someone.
No one knows who.
Then you haven't yet found that someone?
That's right.
Hello.
Very well.
Prepare to load everything on board.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Turn on the lights.
The lights are broken.
Use your flashlights.
I smell something bad.
(Skunk has sent a message.)
Get everything.
Let's get to it again.
Okay.
Team Karma.
Action.
This is...
just my style.
Captain. I'm all in.
Let's get going.
I'm already on board.
I'll get those.
With Skunk.
Will you join us on our great mission?
What do you need me to do?
Let's go.
Hey, wait. You're too quick.
(Epilogue)
It's the original copy...
of the current affairs documentary I made seven years ago.
The information you want begins at 45 minutes 23 seconds.
(Special Investigative Report: "Finding Dark Treasures")
It was deemed not suitable for TV and was going to be destroyed,
but I quit journalism...
and took the tape abroad.
Can I say just one more thing?
Yes, of course.
If you're currently hiding...
illegally obtained treasures,
that's shameful, not something to brag about.
If you sneer, saying the world won't change,
you're mistaken.
The time will come when you'll be too ashamed to show your face,
and when that time comes,
everyone else will sneer at you.
You'll be humiliated.
I warn you.
The treasures and relics you have that shouldn't be yours.
It's time to return them to the people.
(Thank you for watching "Stealer: The Treasure Keeper.")
