(All people, organizations, incidents, and locations in this drama are fictitious.)
(Production guidelines were strictly followed when filming with animals.)
It's nice, isn't it?
(8 years ago)
The house is old,
but it's great for a family.
The yard is big too.
We also laid new grasses this time.
- Please take a look. - Okay.
Hello? Yes. Sure.
That's an old tree.
By the way, why do you want to move into this house?
A long time ago,
I lived here for a while.
My name wasn't Seo Ji Hwan.
I was Yoon Hyun Woo back then.
Hyun Woo, thanks for playing with me all the time.
(Hyun Woo, thanks for playing with me all the time.)
Were you looking for this?
How did you know about it?
You were about to pull out the tree,
so I had the boys find it.
I see. I'm sorry.
Thank you for finding it for me.
Is that box...
one of the memories you talked about last time?
Yes.
Why are you burying it again?
Aren't you going to take it with you?
Yoon Hyun Woo is dead.
Ms. Ko.
Some memories are best kept deep within your heart.
You don't have to look for it next time.
I thought you'd receive a master's or a Ph.D. degree...
if you have written a thesis on Seo Ji Hwan.
But you had missed such basic stuff.
I didn't look into his personal affairs.
Seo Ji Hwan is indeed Seo Tae Pyung's son,
but he was put on the family register when he was 16.
His mother and father didn't register their marriage.
They broke up knowing or not knowing they had a son.
Or maybe she ran away, knowing she was pregnant.
Or she found out she was pregnant when running away.
There are many possibilities.
But since she moved out every six months,
she must have been running away.
After Seo Tae Pyung was imprisoned, Seo Ji Hwan made Thirsty Deer...
and moved into his old house.
Life can be so strange.
They say it's a small world.
But who knew the one you were looking for was Seo Ji Hwan?
(Thirsty Deer: A meat processing company)
Seo Ji Hwan was the one...
I wanted to capture and wanted to find.
It's an ill-fated relationship, indeed.
Wait.
Is your name...
Eun Ha?
Yes. Ko Eun Ha.
By the way,
what is your name?
It's Ko Eun Ha.
If scary guys come to your house again,
put these on. You won't hear them.
(Hyun Woo, thanks for playing with me all the time.)
Yes, Ms. Ko.
Prosecutor Jang.
Are you available tomorrow evening?
Tomorrow?
I don't have any plans, so I'll be available.
What is it about?
I found something precious today.
I want to show it to you.
I really want you to take a look at it.
I'm Prosecutor Jang Hyun Woo from Seoul Central DPO.
Hyun Woo.
"Hyun Woo."
This is Tawan's hiding place.
Seven from Tawan's gang will come.
And there will be more from Ko Yang Hee's gang.
Maybe it'll be better to report to the police.
If it goes sideways, Taek will get hurt.
When there's an unexpected change, the hostage is the first to die.
It's a large-scale drug deal.
If you get tangled up with them,
you won't be able to walk away because you were there.
Il Young.
Do you know Prosecutor Jang Hyun Woo?
Prosecutor Jang Hyun Woo from Seoul Central DPO?
Yes. He went to your school too. What's he like?
He is a man of conviction who won't compromise.
I heard he's stricter to violent offenders.
Why do you ask?
I've met him recently.
Was he the one who tailed you last time?
I guess he saw me at the hotel ten years ago.
- "At the hotel?" - Yes.
If he keeps that incident in mind,
he could be edgy about it.
That's right.
He could be like that in his perspective.
Still,
you couldn't help it.
What do you mean I couldn't help it?
It all started because of me.
Seo Tae Pyung, the boss of Bulldog Gang, the largest gang in Korea,
(10 years ago)
ran an illegal betting site that's worth 400 million dollars...
and siphoned off the criminal proceeds to a bank account...
under a different name. Therefore, he got arrested.
The prosecution is investigating him...
for the alleged crime of property moving to a foreign country,
hiding proceeds of crime, and bribery.
We have to strike before Father does.
Tie up the money that hasn't been laundered.
As for the hotel, prepare a general meeting of stockholders...
- before the end of this week. - Okay.
If they find out that it was you who ratted on Big Boss,
they won't let it slide.
Shouldn't you hide somewhere for a while?
It's okay. I knew this day would come.
(Hotel Charmant)
You've arrived, sir.
Il Young, we'll give you a ride to your school.
I can take the bus.
You said you have exams today.
If you're going to get in, hurry.
Also, you should give us a tour of your school.
Are you worried that I'll ask you to set me up a blind date?
That's not it.
Do you want a blind date, sir?
My apologies, sir.
- Hop in. - See you later.
- I'll see you later. - Okay.
- What is it? - What's going on?
Hey, listen.
- We're sorry. - Come on.
We have our plans too.
Why do you avoid answering my question?
Whatever.
Instead of answering the phone, solve my problem first.
Please wait for a second.
You keep saying you're sorry. Is that all you can do?
I want to talk to your boss.
You're here.
Where are all our staff?
They went to set up the place.
You can go to the ballroom right now.
Help the customers over there first.
Yes, sir.
- Gosh. - Oh, dear.
- I'm sorry. - Sorry. Are you all right?
Yes. Are you all right?
- Yes. I'm sorry. - Okay.
Well, then.
(2013 Award Ceremony for Teenagers' Music Festival)
Mic test.
Hello. Have you eaten?
You know what?
(2013 Award Ceremony for Teenagers' Music Festival)
It's already been 15 years.
For 15 years, I've worked like a dog to build up the company.
But when it was handed to you because you were his son,
I was so...
Darn it. Because of that,
I was annoyed to death.
But you handed it over to the prosecution...
and disbanded the gang?
There's an event here in two hours.
Let's talk about it later.
There's no such a thing as "later."
I'm going to take possession of this hotel.
And you'll die here.
The event is over. All of you, get lost!
- Get out! - Go!
I told you to go away!
Leave!
I told you to leave!
Bye.
(2013 Award Ceremony for Teenagers' Music Festival)
Gosh.
You look good.
Get started.
I'll kill you if you can't kill him.
- Sir. - What?
Grandma!
Grandma.
It's me. It's Mi Jin.
You're up. Please hang in there.
- Hold tight. - Just a little more.
Grandma.
Why is the door open?
The door was open, so I thought I'd close it.
I see.
Were you out?
- Yes, to feed the dog. - At this early hour?
- Yes. - I see.
That bulldog. What's its name?
- It's Bulldog. - I know it's a bulldog,
- but what's its name? - Its name is Bulldog.
You named a bulldog Bulldog?
Yes.
Then...
By the way, Mr. Seo.
You said...
that some memories were better kept buried within my heart.
What did you mean by that?
I meant it literally.
Some people find it hard and uncomfortable to face their past.
We're all in different situations.
Was that an adequate answer?
Yes.
- Hit like... - Hit like...
- and subscribe. - and subscribe.
- Also, turn on the notification. - Also, turn on the notification.
(My Sweet Mobster)
Should we be taking it this far?
- I mean... - She's here!
- Tiny mouse, you're here. - Something smells delicious.
Tiny mouse, sit here.
You shouldn't sit on cold surfaces.
- What's going on? - Sit on this cushion.
What's the occasion? Why are you like this?
- Just sit. - Ms. Eun Ha,
I prepared a special meal for you.
Man Ho, no way.
- There's cuttlefish. - What's with everyone?
It's nothing serious,
but I had a conception dream.
- A conception dream? - Yes.
There was a chubby and adorable pink pig...
which we carried with love.
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
- Cock-a-doodle-doo. - Cock-a-doodle-doo.
Hold it.
- Was the pig dead? - Yes, it was.
Piggy!
I knew it.
A pig doesn't always mean good luck.
Carrying a dead pig is...
(Dreaming of carrying a dead pig)
(An ominous dream)
It's an ominous dream.
I see. Then, it must not have been dead.
- It must've been asleep. - Right, asleep.
- Was it asleep? - Of course, it was asleep.
Hey, Dong Hui.
Where's Big Boss?
- What's up with you? - What is it?
Is everything okay, Dong Hui?
Well...
- Big Boss left to find Taek. - What?
(21-2, Sanhwang-ro)
The weather sure is nice.
Hey, it's a good day, so let's have some fun.
Play some music. One that'll get you bouncing.
Sure.
What do you mean Ji Hwan went by himself to save Taek?
Big Boss has told me recently...
to lay off on the search for Taek.
He's going to do it all by himself.
And you're only telling us that now?
I'm sorry.
- But I saw him earlier. - Darn it.
Shouldn't we first call the cops?
By the looks of it,
Taek is involuntarily caught up in this mess.
We could report this.
We don't know his destination.
Do you think they'll listen to us, the gang members?
Didn't you hear where he was going?
I didn't catch that.
The cops will run a trace on him or something.
This isn't the time to argue.
Who knows what'll happen to him?
We need to report this.
Sure. Do that right away.
- I'm making the call. - Darn it.
Do you perhaps know how to install one?
Install what?
Well, what couples do...
Something that is installed that will allow two people...
to know where the other one is when one is in danger.
I don't mean anything by it.
It won't be too bad to know where the other one is...
when something dangerous happens like today.
I know where Mr. Seo is.
- Where? - This.
- What is it? - He suggested this.
Where is he?
Here.
Yes, Asia Food in Jeyang-dong.
The tip hasn't been thoroughly vetted,
but the descriptions match.
I'm heading out right now.
Darn it!
(Joo Il Young)
Hey. Did you call it in?
Yes, they must be there by now.
Good.
By the way, where are you right now?
I said I'd be going alone. Head back.
- I'm sorry. - Don't make me waste my time.
That's why we should just go.
Don't make me say this twice.
I'm acting alone on this one.
I'm going with you.
Darn it.
Ten years ago on that day,
I got there late because I had an exam to take.
I missed Jae Soo's call as well.
Actually,
I dodged his call on purpose.
- Nice! - Exams were over,
so I ate out with my friends,
played pool, and sang karaoke.
(Jae Soo)
You were unconscious...
while receiving surgery for your knife wounds,
but I was out having fun like an ordinary college kid.
Do you know what I thought...
after I sent you away that day?
Il Young, we'll give you a ride to your school.
You said you have exams today.
I should've sent you to campus earlier...
so that you could study more.
You felt guilty for letting me pay your tuition,
so you cut back on having fun just to get a scholarship,
but I foolishly talked nonsense in your face.
If you had spent that day...
being like every other college kid,
I would've died a happy man.
I'm still going with you.
Rats are leaving their hole.
Don't forget to thoroughly check the boxes later.
I'm seeing a lot of them.
It's Tawan.
Bingo.
A lot of rats will be running around today, so stay frosty.
- Start the engine and be ready. - Got it.
They're headed to Jeyang-dong Intersection,
so be on their tail once I give the signal.
(21-2, Sanhwang-ro)
Darn it!
- Morning, Boss. - Morning, Boss.
Are you filming a movie?
Why light up a fire in this weather? It's hot in here.
Is that him?
Yes, he's Jung Yoon Taek.
Let me see.
You even look like a weasel, you traitor.
Just to save your own skin...
It's okay.
If you have others go to jail,
will the rest be fond of that or not?
They won't like it, which is why you'll die today.
What?
You're just like that rat...
who wants his friend dead to secure his position.
I bet it's been a while since you last met Tawan.
Take care.
Please save my life.
Put out the fire. It's hot in here.
Boss!
- Boss! - Boss.
Boss!
You punk.
Seo Ji Hwan, you...
- Seo Ji Hwan! - Get the boss.
- What the... - Darn.
- Hey, get that punk. - Get him!
Get him!
Don't take another step.
- Darn it. - Come on.
- Don't move! - Don't...
Block the door.
Hey...
- Darn it. - That punk!
I'm fine, so get that punk!
Darn!
Mr. Seo.
- Hurry out of here. - Be right behind me.
- Hey! Don't come any closer. - Bring it!
- Stay back. - Darn it.
- Boss, are you all right? - You...
- Are you all right? - Darn.
Get him.
- No, don't. - Darn it.
Hey!
- Boss! - Are you all right?
Get that punk!
Slow down.
Take the left lane but without sudden movements.
Stand by for orders.
Hey, we've been caught. One will follow us...
while the other will move to its right side.
Right this second!
Around Sanhwang-dong?
I'm sure they switched directions after being found out.
We'll have to give up on raiding the transaction.
Right. I get it for now.
Lieutenant, stay with Tawan.
Issue a BOLO for Seo Ji Hwan's and Ko Yang Hee's cars.
I want their phones tracked as well, Chief Oh.
Unfortunately, I don't have their numbers memorized.
- They're in my briefcase. - I see.
We sure are busy.
What is that thing you brought back there?
Don't mind it. I brought it for our safety.
(Car Ownership Report)
Inspector Cha, I want a BOLO out on some cars.
Make it super urgent.
Name, Ko Yang Hee.
His phone number is 010...
Ms. Ko, where do we go from here?
(Couple Location Tracker)
Make a left.
Tiny mouse, give me your phone.
Then you'll leave me behind.
Of course, we would.
Where we're going isn't a place for you.
We don't need you, so give me the phone and leave.
How can we drop her off? Just give up on it.
Give it here.
Give it here and get lost.
Jae Soo, I know you're worried about her,
but we'll be lost without her right now.
Ms. Ko, where to?
Make a left.
- Darn it. - You'll get off later.
Sure.
I've been thrilled for this day, but you completely ruined it.
Who are you to butt in?
Darn, my throat!
What you do isn't a concern of mine.
I only wanted Taek back.
- It's here. - Mr. Jang.
Mr. Jang?
Have you asked the local precinct for backup?
We should wait for them. They'll be here in five minutes.
This isn't because I'm scared.
I have my daughter to think about.
- Let's go. - Mr. Jang!
My daughter, your dad is serving his nation.
Have a good life with your mom and dad's pension.
Allow me.
Sure.
Kill him yourself.
Grab him.
Close in on them.
Hey, watch out!
Close the distance!
Faster!
Pull over!
Pull over, darn it!
Hey, pull over.
Crash into them.
I hear you live with a girl.
A kids' content creator or something like that.
What was her name again?
Is she your girl?
That's hilarious.
Hush.
- Keep it down, will you? - Okay.
Save us, merciful Buddha.
Let's get going already!
- Come on. Hurry! - What's going on?
Move it!
Save us, merciful Buddha.
Hurry up, you all! Move it!
We need to leave.
Hey, who are you?
We were just passing by.
Pass by, and we never come back.
Who the heck are you?
- Here. - Take this!
Hey! Bring it on!
See this? I'm sure you know the Miranda Rights.
Let's go peacefully, all right?
- What is it? Catch him! - What?
Stop him, punk!
Darn it. Oh, no.
Gosh. Get out of my way!
This is mine!
Kang Gil?
I'm leaving first.
- Hurry up! - Are you okay?
Oh, Detective. They're inside.
Arrest them all.
- Understood. - Come on.
We're the police!
This seems like the place.
- What? - There are police cars over there!
The police? Where?
What?
Hey, Rat. Get the binoculars from the box.
The binoculars.
Hey, the...
Give it to me.
Prosecutor Jang?
Even the prosecutor is there?
Why is she using my binoculars?
We should've left her behind.
- Stop it. - It's Mr. Seo!
- Where? - Where?
Move it!
What are you waiting for? Get going.
(National Police Agency)
(Narcotics Team 1)
(Narcotics are never allowed.)
Hey! Quiet down!
- What was that? - I'll take the fifth!
- Jeez. - Hey. Answer him quickly!
- You have a Korean name, don't you? - When is he coming back?
Let go!
Take her away!
- What is wrong with her? - What's going on?
- Hey. - You, sit down.
Everyone, sit down!
Darn it. How many times does this happen?
These darn cops. How did they know about the place?
Seriously. The mosquitoes are having a feast.
I want to take a shower.
Really, it's so itchy.
This is mine. It's mine.
(National Police Agency)
Big Boss will be released on Sunday. You can go home first.
No, I'll stay.
Dong Hui. Take them home.
I'll stay, too.
Go home first, Hong Ki.
What would I do alone at home?
I'm staying. You go home and rest, Ms. Mini.
(Prosecutor Jang Hyun Woo)
Let me answer this call.
Yes, Prosecutor Jang?
Something urgent came up.
I'm afraid we need to cancel our dinner plan.
I should've called sooner. But I lost track of things.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay. I also had some business to take care of.
By the way,
what happened?
Oh, right.
We got a case.
- It's nothing serious, right? - What?
Well... Whether it's serious or not,
I'll know once we investigate more.
Don't worry too much.
- Okay. - It seemed urgent.
I'm terribly sorry.
No, it's okay.
When will the investigation end?
(Interrogation Room)
- Shouldn't you see a doctor? - No, I'm fine.
Then, let's begin.
Mr. Seo Ji Hwan.
Eun Ha, why didn't you answer your phone the whole day?
Are you crying?
No, it's nothing.
Where are you? I'm on my way.
The police station.
What?
Mr. Seo got arrested.
"Mr. Seo got arrested?"
- Why? - It's a long story.
Calm down first.
Tell me what happened.
Where is Mr. Jung Yoon Taek right now?
I don't know, either.
If you truly saved Mr. Jung,
not hid him as stated,
why did you stay behind at the scene?
I had unfinished business.
Did that...
unfinished business buy Mr. Jung time to run away?
For the sake of a worker who joined less than a year ago,
you planted a spy in a drug ring...
to find out the deal's date and place.
Without notifying anyone,
you marched into the enemy's camp all alone.
By any chance, were you the one who sent me the information...
this morning?
Yoon Hyun Woo.
Do you know a man named Yoon Hyun Woo?
No.
Do you, Prosecutor Jang?
Ms. Ko is mistaking me for him...
because this Hyun Woo's dream...
was to become a prosecutor.
She's desperately looking for him.
So, my plan was to tell her if I found him.
But I don't think I will.
There seems to be a reason he can't even tell the one directly involved.
It has nothing to do with me.
Is the questioning over?
(Interrogation Room)
(Testimony Recording Room)
Prosecutor Jang.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
I'm Jung Yoon Taek.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
- Boss! - Boss!
Are you okay? No.
Are you all right, sir?
You're banged up pretty hard. Then you must have...
serious internal injuries. Are you okay?
They haven't finished questioning Taek yet. Go back...
You look awful, sir.
You guys should go back home.
Please look after yourself.
Mr. Seo.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
What on earth is happening?
Are you telling me Boss Ji Hwan...
worked with the Kitty Gang for the drug deal?
Well, he was arrested at the scene.
Getting released from the authority will be tough.
I read a news article earlier.
It wasn't a drug bust or anything like that.
They'll have to investigate more to get to the bottom of this.
But it seems he avoided the worst-case scenario.
Where's the Rat? Is she still outside?
Yes.
Gosh.
Mr. Seo.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
What's your dream?
I'm going to grow up and become a prosecutor.
What is a prosecutor?
A prosecutor...
The one who punishes...
the bad guys.
Are you sure you can walk up alone?
Yes. I'm fine.
By the way, you're lucky your condition isn't worse.
Good work today. Go and take care of Taek.
Okay. Rest up.
Mr. Seo.
Don't you know what time it is? Why are you out here?
Are you okay?
Come here. Let me check your wounds.
Ms. Ko.
Do you have feelings for me?
- What? - I don't have feelings for you.
You asked me the other day what you meant to me.
To me,
you are just a tenant, nothing more, nothing less.
Boss.
- Boss. - Are you all right, sir?
Did they release you for good?
How could you go there alone?
We were worried sick about you.
Didn't you know how dangerous that was?
Why bring a woman who had nothing to do with us?
Was it that hard for you to read the situation?
Boss, don't you know how worried...
Yoon Hyun Woo.
Do you know a man named Yoon Hyun Woo?
No.
You were fine when you left home at dawn after feeding the dog.
But by the time you come back home at night, you're covered in bruises.
Then even a stranger would be worried.
You didn't have to be so harsh. I understand you're uncomfortable.
Disinfect the wounds, apply the ointment,
and put on the Band-Aids.
(Ointment)
- Who will say grace today? - Let's do that separately.
There are a lot of secrets in this family.
What's the point? Let's just do that separately.
- Thank you, Father. - Amen.
- Yes, Father. Amen. - Are you speaking in tongues?
My dear sister-in-law. Dig in. Please eat a lot.
Hey, you. Didn't you say you liked this?
Eat a lot.
Jae Soo, don't you like this dish?
Gosh. How considerate you are.
This is my staple.
Come on, eat. I know you like this.
Right. I want to pick out some books for our class.
Why don't we all go to the bookstore tomorrow?
My dear sister-in-law. We've never been to a bookstore in our lives.
Of course, we'll go.
What time should we meet tomorrow?
I'll buy everyone...
Hold on. One, two, three, four,
and five. Tangsuyuk is on me.
Gosh.
Tangsuyuk sounds nice.
- Just the five of us. - Yes.
Let's eat.
Gosh. What's going on? You're buying us food?
Gosh. Apparently, the narcotics we found...
in Tawan's car amounted to approximately 150 million dollars.
If the drugs hit the streets...
Oh, my. Just thinking about that gives me the chills. You know?
Say something.
I'm grateful that they didn't hit the streets.
You're so annoying.
Even if we couldn't catch them red-handed,
I'm glad we arrested Tawan.
That's another way of saying we only arrested Tawan...
and lost the chance to bust the deal.
Given the circumstances,
Jung Yoon Taek's statement is more convincing.
We should start processing the people we arrested.
Let's start with the arrest warrant for Lee Kang Gil.
Sure. I'm on it.
Oh, right. The chief prosecutor wanted to celebrate our arrest.
He said he was buying lobsters for dinner. You're coming, right?
I have some work left and another appointment for dinner.
Why don't you two go and enjoy the dinner with him?
What?
If he's skipping out on this, must I really attend it?
What?
Then you can just go on your own.
I'm just a mere investigator.
Why would he want to buy the lobster dinner just for me,
let alone red-banded shrimps?
Red-banded shrimps!
I should just go and catch some crayfish.
But I'm not sure if I can.
I hope I catch at least three.
(General Ward A)
Sir.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry. You went through so much trouble because of me.
Why are you apologizing?
I'm sorry I couldn't be there sooner.
I won't forget...
what you did for me for the rest of my life.
Just don't forget the promise you made to your sister.
- Yoon Taek. - Yeon.
Yoon Taek. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Are you okay?
I'm okay as long as you're not hurt.
I'm sorry I made you worry.
No.
I'm sorry I made you wait.
(I want my brother to come back to me quickly.)
I'm sorry I couldn't come back to you sooner.
No, it's okay.
Hello.
- Ms. Ko. - Hello.
It's only been a few days, but it feels like ages ago.
Right. It does.
Oh, right. I'm sorry about yesterday.
I couldn't make it yesterday.
No, it's okay. Something had come up for me yesterday too.
It's fine.
Sir.
Do you also think...
that asking someone about his past would make him uncomfortable?
Even if we were to go through the same experience,
we could be in different situations.
My memories must be different from other people's memories too.
So it never crossed my mind that asking people...
about memories...
they'd rather not remember was imposing on them.
Did someone...
say something to you?
Well...
Ms. Ko.
I have something to tell you.
It's about Hyun Woo,
the childhood friend you're looking for.
Why...
Why are you carrying that?
Who are you?
Do you know me?
That's odd. I don't think I know you.
You must have had a drink. I can smell alcohol from you.
I did have a few. I was in a good mood.
I found the person...
I buried this container with.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Seo.
Let's not see each other from now on.
(Special thanks to Hari Won and Choi Dae Chul...)
(for their guest appearances)
(My Sweet Mobster)
Gosh. You're dazzling! Let's go.
"He has nothing to do with me."
- A blind date? - Gosh.
How could she do something so dangerous and reckless?
I forgot that you were a very sensitive type...
that you got startled easily.
You sang because you were in a good mood...
Yes, I did. So what?

Ms. Ko.
I have feelings for you.
