Si-o, it's me.

I'm sorry I couldn't call you back.

Si-o?

Are you okay?

Don't come any closer.

Si-o.

Did Beom send you?

She wants a sample of the antidote.

- No.
- What?

Tell her

that the antidote is mine.

I own that business.

Pavel isn't to interfere.

What?

Anton!

The antidote is mine.

No one else can have it.

Not you or Pavel.

As for Nozh,

do you know what they look like?

No.

Then,

how do you know they're in Korea?

We've been tracking Pavel for a long time.

They execute traitors instantaneously.

The organization does not tolerate
information being leaked.

However,

they encrypt their messages
with the complicated Enigma machine.

And our agent just cracked their message.

One that says Nozh is in Korea.

They probably have their eyes on you.

If they want to play,

let them.

You must be careful at all times.

If you need a gun,

please let me know.

Mr. Shin Gang-su

is dead.

EPISODE 12
DIAMOND CUTS DIAMOND

- Sir.
- What happened?

The witness said
he started having seizures

after drinking from that vial.

He must've lost hope

after meeting with his lawyer.

- His lawyer?
- Yes.

Start with an autopsy.

And give me the lawyer's info.

Shin Gang-su…

didn't kill himself.

This is the antidote.

It's the same as what Nam-in drank.

Hairtail is dead.

We no longer have a witness.

What?

Then submit my watch as evidence.

It recorded me
stealing that puffer jacket.

No, I won't do that.

It'll put you in danger.

Hello?

Hairtail has been taken care of.

Have lunch with me today.

I booked us a table at a nice bistro.

You seem to be in a good mood.

A problem has been handled.

Once Hwang Geum-ju dies,

everything will be perfect.

She's here.

It's as we expected.

Will my stand-in be all right?

She's a former agent
of the National Intelligence Service

who's highly accomplished
in taekwondo, hapkido, and kendo.

Tell them

that Hwang Geum-ju

is alive.

Tsetseg.

Do you want to be friends?

Friends, my foot.

Friends?

Of course. I'd love that.

But what do you think friends are?

Someone who will protect me

and take my side

even after knowing my secrets.

I once had…

a friend like that.

We lost touch when I was ten.

Was your friend Russian?

I met him in Russia,

but he wasn't Russian.

We were in the same position

but made different choices.

I don't know where he is
or what he's doing.

When it comes to love or friendship,

I'm still new to both.

Those weren't options for me
in the life I've led.

But when I'm with you,

friendship…

and love…

pique my interest.

You're getting a call.

Hey.

Hwang Geum-ju played us.

The patient in the hospital was a fake!

So what happened?

You didn't…

get rid of her?

What is it?

I shouldn't have let her live.

Hwang Geum-ju.

She's such a pain.

- Sit here for a moment.
- Okay.

Enter.

Gather the boys and meet up with Sun-bae.

You'll surveil Hwang Geum-ju
as soon as Mr. Yoon hands over her file.

Geumju TV, Geumju Hospital, and Gold Blue.

Tail her family as well.

Yes, sir.

Hwang Geum-ju.

I need to find her daughter.

How are you going to do that?

Normally, if a mother is hospitalized,

her daughter would pay a visit.

But she never did.

It means that she also knew

that the patient was a stand-in.

There's a good chance

she's operating with Hwang Geum-ju.

So?

Are you thinking of killing them both?

I bet you ate a lot of lamb in Mongolia.

To me, there's no difference
between the lamb you ate

and Hwang Geum-ju.

She needs to die.

And all of them with her.

The lawyer's license
turned out to be forged.

He impersonated a registered lawyer
who shared his name.

LIST OF REGISTERED LAWYERS

Hello?

Madam Kim paid me a visit at the hospital.

While trying to kill me,

she found out about my stand-in.

That's the location of the woman
who sold me the antidote.

But arresting her without a plan
could ruin everything.

Even if we arrest her
for attempted murder,

she'll be forced to commit suicide
like Shin Gang-su.

We need to find someone from their circle

who they wouldn't care about.

Right.

I have the location.

Hey.

Hairtail's lawyer turned out to be fake.

- What?
- What does that mean?

I think it was a forced suicide.

Ms. Han Min-jung,

you're under arrest
for violating the Narcotics Control Act.

What?

You're a cop?

What else?

Did you think Heritage Club sent someone

because you ran off with the money?

Hello?

Hairtail's being autopsied,
so meet me there.

Hairtail…

is dead?

Yes.

How could he have died while in custody?

Run, and you'll be killed
by those bastards in no time.

So what will it be?

Being in police custody
is the best way to stay alive.

And don't even think about
hiring a lawyer.

That's how Hairtail died.

This is Kang Hee-sik of the DIU.

Requesting a suspect's car
to be taken into custody.

I don't know anything though.

I only followed Madam Kim's orders.

I wonder what she ordered you to do.

Hairtail was forced to kill himself,

just like Baldy.

I doubt you want to die too.

Here.

Acute heart failure
from an overdose of indenol.

- He died of a heart attack.
- Indenol?

It's usually taken for stage fright.

It's usually taken in pill form,

so taking it in liquid form
is practically suicide.

I see.

Ryu Si-o must've sent someone.

The consultation room isn't equipped
with a camera or a listening device.

That's how they gave Hairtail the vial.

Hold on.

What did they say
to make him kill himself?

Pavel isn't like any other mafia group.

It's an intelligent organization.

COMMISSIONER GENERAL AN BYEONG-HO

Ryu Si-o must be caught
to eradicate this drug.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION TEAM
PROSECUTOR JANG HYE-MI

LOCATION: DOOGO HEADQUARTERS

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT

PAVEL
RYU SI-O

Mr. Ryu is a mobster?

Unbelievable.

Prosecutor Moon,
this is Commissioner General An.

You seemed tired, so I didn't wake you.

You should head home.

You're getting a call.

Did you locate the missing puffer jacket?

Not yet.

So you'd rather die?

The police found out.

Do you call this doing your job?

If things go south…

You'll have me killed?

Anton.

I'm Ryu Si-o, not Anton!

And you are done ordering me around.

Are you okay?

Who was that?

You got furious and then laughed
like a crazy person.

Tsetseg.

Have you ever
rebelled against your parents?

Were you on the phone with yours?

You said you didn't have parents.

You're right.

I don't.

Then who was that?

And who's Anton?

Anton is my Russian name.

No matter what,

you must be by my side.

He had a gastroscopy,

and his doctor had never seen
such a clean stomach before.

It could've even been passed off
as a newborn's stomach.

That's how my son is.

His organs couldn't possibly be cleaner,

kidneys and gall bladder included.

I'm glad he at least has healthy organs.

Then should I brew
the same tonic as before?

Yes, of course.

Add even better ingredients if you can.

His sister is rich, you know.

Obscenely so.

It's why he has

an eight-story building in Seocho-dong
in his name.

It'd be perfect to have
a traditional medicine clinic

after kicking the first-floor café out.

You can't drive out tenants
that easily these days.

You just can't take a hint, can you?

What I'm saying is

that I'd like for us

to have a familial relationship.

Goodness.

Ma'am, what…

As newlyweds,

you can live in a 60-pyeong
apartment unit in Apgujeong.

Don't tell me

you already have a boyfriend.

I don't.

Excellent.

Goodness.

You're perfect for him.

Ryu Si-o is coming after my family.

Let's go to my place.

Stay with me.

What?

I have to stay home and protect my family.

If you stay there,
you'll be putting them in danger,

not protecting them.

Ryu Si-o, that bastard…

He thinks you live at my place anyway.

Damn it.

I hoped to be the one
to ask you to move in.

What?

Ryu Si-o has been opening up to me.

So? Do you like that?

That's no way to talk to someone
who's been working hard.

You…

It looked like
you'd gladly fall into his arms.

Gan I-sik, that's--

You should've used your strength
to push him away.

You're jealous, aren't you?

This isn't jealousy. I'm educating you.

Even espionage has its boundaries.

My first time will be with the man I love.

Your first time?

It's a family tradition.

Our first time should be
with the man we love

to have a healthy daughter.

There's no need to get so carried away.

What do you mean?

I was just answering your question.

You got flustered.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

What…

Your seat belt.

There.

Let's go to your place.

Off we go!

Ms. Jung,

stay at Geumju Hotel for the time being.

You can't stay at this house.

Yes, ma'am.

I apologize for putting you
in this tough situation.

Get yourself a security detail.

That won't be necessary.

I've been learning self-defense
to protect myself.

All right.

I had fun

delivering the news.

Presenting the news…

has always been a dream of mine.

I was taken by surprise.

You have a knack for it.

Ms. Hwang Geum-ju sent us.

Right.

This was sent by Ms. Hwang Geum-ju.

Hello?

Where are you right now?

Where else but the photo studio?

- Inside or out?
- Outside.

What are you doing outside?

I'm sweeping.

Anyway, who are these people?

What's with all the bodyguards?

Don't clean outside after sundown!

Close the photo studio for now.

Put Nam-in on the phone.

Hello?

Eat anything and everything you want.

You're beautiful,

chubbiness and all.

But don't eat anything
a stranger gives you.

That's how Snow White
almost met her maker.

Isn't the delivery guy also a stranger?

"Don't clean outside after sundown."

Who does she think I am, her subordinate?

Who made her my drill sergeant?

Let's go inside
and have the fried chicken, Dad.

Sure.

Do you remember the passcode?

Yes, it's 121208.

Get some rest inside.

You must be heading back to the precinct

to get the statement
from the antidote woman.

You sound like a DIU detective now.

You know all our procedures.

Right?

I'm taking my driving test next Tuesday
for my driver's license.

Does that mean
you passed the written exam?

Of course.

Gosh,

I'm proud of you, Hillary Khan.

Get home soon.

I'll wait up for you.

Okay.

He only patted my hair,
but my whole body tingled.

Have you lost your mind?

How dare you officially register
the antidote business

without informing
or getting permission from Pavel

when the antidote
was developed at Doogo's research lab?

Why should I have asked for permission

when Pavel wasn't involved?

I'm the one who developed it.

If you keep this up,

you'll get the Tsar Bomba.

Pavel has no source of income without me.

Pavel…

can never kill me.

The rich are our targets

since they can afford the antidote.

Where do you get it from?

That I don't know.

It's the truth.

I just did as told by Madam Kim.

What I know for sure

is that Doogo controls
the antidote business.

Will I find the list
of weight-loss pill clients on this phone?

Yes.

How many clients do you have?

I tended to about 100 clients,

but if you combine the others…

There are

a lot of distributors across the nation
working for Madam Kim.

Are you saying

the pills are distributed
all over the country?

Yes.

The one thing I know

is that the antidote comes from sea hares.

Sea hares?

Yes.

The blood of sea hares.

Delivery.

Hi, Agent Gang.

Hee-sik sent you some clothes.

Clothes?

- Have a good one.
- Sure.

Bye.

Gan I-sik, you cutie pie.

OCTOBER 30
I RECEIVED THE DRUG FROM A DEALER…

A DIU detective
arrested one of the dealers,

so a search and seizure warrant
will be requested soon.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT

I'm told Mr. Ryu
is a member of a Russian mafia group.

That little bastard.

Yes, Prosecutor Moon.

We'll talk in person.

- Have you located her family?
- Yes.

Her ex-husband, son, mother,
and younger brother.

But not her daughter.

You'll be accompanying me today.

Where are you headed?

The Prosecutors' Office.

Tsetseg, I'll be running late today.

See you in the evening.

If he's running late,

what can I do at the office by myself?

Does that mean

I can also head to work late?

That sounds about right.

It seems like you have something to say.

Should I take a seat or keep standing?

Do you sell drugs?

Yes.

Well, look at this punk.

Are you really in the mafia?

Yes.

It seems like just because
I've played poker with you a few times,

you think we're buddies.

You damn bastard.

Do you think prosecutors are a joke?

Don't you know I specialize in drug cases?

You little…

You're done for, you little brat!

Name, Moon Seong-u.

You started out at Seoul Eastern District
Prosecutors' Office in 2003,

transferred to
the Chuncheon Office in 2007,

and then to the Suwon Office in 2009.

You became a prosecution research officer
at the SPO in 2013

and a prosecutor at Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office in 2015.

And now,

you're the deputy chief prosecutor.

Your daughter is studying in the US.

You and your wife live in Seorae Village.

Your dog's name is Tori, I believe.

What are you getting at?

You knew I did drugs.

You did them with me, remember?

Have you lost your mind?

What?

You and I did drugs together?

A prosecutor should know
how to control his temper.

A dying detective
wrote this as his last will.

You shouldn't throw it
with such disregard.

I'll kill you if you pull something.

Getting rid of scum like you--

Prosecutor Moon,

I helped as much as I could
to make it easier for you

to fund your daughter's education.

Was it not enough?

You're out of your mind.

If I'm a drug dealer,
that makes you a druggie.

The drug I sell

can't be detected in one's system.

So think about it.

How many times have we met at Heritage?

The testimony of the living
outweighs that of the dead.

And I can testify

that you…

got high.

I never did any drugs.

You moron.

Who'd believe you
when I'll say that you did?

Mr. Ryu…

That's right. I'm a mobster.

Your daughter in the US, your wife,

as well as your mistress.

Maybe I should cut them all into pieces.

I won't hurt your dog
who had kneecap surgery.

We don't kill animals.

Do you know why?

Because dogs don't talk. They only bark.

So do the same and just bark.

That's how you'll survive.

"A friend that has nothing to offer
is like a dull blade."

It's a Russian saying.

Be a sharp knife I can wield.

Know your place.

Fruit of the poisonous tree.

They'll soon submit
a puffer jacket as evidence.

However,
that evidence was obtained illegally,

therefore making it inadmissible.

In other words, they have nothing.

Even their witnesses are dead.

You didn't even offer
a cup of coffee to your guest.

I'll be off to get some for myself.

Your shoelaces are undone.

I see this a lot among druggies.

Undone shoelaces, zippers,

and buttons on suits.

You'd better take care, buddy.

You don't want to give
the wrong impression.

Then…

please excuse me,

Prosecutor Moon.

Kyle.

What's your favorite Korean dish?

Bulgogi.

All right, let's have bulgogi today.

Pavel is the world's only mafia group

that educates their members thoroughly.

They receive systematic education
in law, politics, and finance.

Pavel's business methods and objectives
are unlike those of any other mafia group.

They probably have their eyes on you.

If they want to play,

let them.

Gentleman.

What did you do before all this?

Well…

You'll find out

in due time.

All right.

Tell Madam Kim you made money
selling the antidote

and that was why you tried to run.

Say you won't do that ever again
and give her all the money.

Then I'm sure she'll believe you.

They're probably all worked up right now,
like an angry hornet's nest.

They won't have the mental capacity
to suspect you.

What…

do you need me to do?

Your client list won't cut it.

Bring me the names
of all the distributors in the country.

That is the condition of your release.

Over there.

Got it.

I found one.

Damn it!

Don't just stand there.

Keep looking for more!

What are you doing?

Keep looking!

I found one!

You know what?

Search again.

The restrooms, the artwork,
the plants, everything!

Hello?

Is that you, Tae-ri?

Where were you?

This kimchi stew
only takes seven minutes to make.

Here we go.

First, start by chopping up the kimchi

to make it easier to eat with rice.

That hits the spot!

Where are you?

Hey, Si-o. I'll be right there.

I figured it'd be better for me
to come to you

than to have you come to me.

After all, the Commissioner General
has his eye on you and not me.

A new commissioner general
will be appointed next week.

I'm sure you're aware that would mean me.

So hang in there for a week.

Will the warrant request be denied?

Probably.
They'll cite insufficient evidence.

Commissioner General An,

the deputy chief prosecutor,
and the presiding judge

are all affiliated with Ryu Si-o.

We need something more.

We have physical evidence.

One that contains the drug.

If we can't prove that it came from Doogo,

they'll just cook up a story.

Hold out for a week.

I'll have your backs.

GANGHAN POLICE PRECINCT

You poor thing.

Hey, Hee-sik.

Go home and get some rest.

You stayed up all night interrogating.

He's right. Go home.

We'll handle the rest.

Head home.

Gan I-sik, I'm off to work.

I waited for you to come home,
but you didn't.

So I fixed you a delicious meal
with what you had at home.

I did a good job, right?

Why does this worry me?

Why? What is it?

Why are you worried?

Nam-soon made me a meal.

- What?
- She's staying at my place.

Wait. What was that?

Do you two live together?

I knew it. You didn't know, right?

The two of them…

Sparks have been flying.

- You naughty boy.
- It's not like that.

Kids these days aren't like us.

They live together before getting married.

- Exactly.
- Bravo.

She overpowered you in the end.

- It's not like that.
- Personally,

I'm quite fond of Agent Gang.

I approve of this match.

I second that.

She's even the daughter of a rich family.

I'll serve her as my sister-in-law.

By the way,

does she have any siblings?

She does.

A brother.

Well,

that's not a total deal-breaker for me.

- You punk.
- What?

- Can you be more desperate?
- Why?

Are you struggling to pay your loans?

I'm not struggling.

Let's go over to the newlyweds'
for a meal.

- Up you go.
- Come on.

Let's go eat some food.

Let's go and eat breakfast.

- We'll eat together.
- What's with you?

Let's eat what your bride made for you.

Why is everything in big chunks?

- Let's enjoy.
- This is interesting.

This kimchi stew is…

What the heck did I just eat?

Did she season it with ketchup?

Probably. The bottle was empty.

I swear this is the worst dish
I've ever had in my life.

Water and kimchi would've been enough.
There was no need to get creative.

It's also salty.

It's not too bad.

It reminds me of tom yum soup.

Tom yum soup?

Dude, the Thai Embassy
will sue you for that statement.

He must truly love Agent Gang.

But it is good.

Si-o…

2023 DOOGO RESEARCH LAB
Q3 DATA

He should keep his desk tidy.

Si-o!

Have you had lunch?

Yeah, I have. What about you?

Likewise.

Tsetseg,

your current roommate isn't a guy, right?

Of course, my roommate's a girl.

A sweet and pretty girl.

Let me help you gain citizenship.

No, that's all right.

I'll handle it myself.

It's just that I want to help you.

I want you to be happier.

It's all right.

You see,

I need to do things by myself.

That's how my Mongolian parents raised me.

Then at least let me help you

find a place to live.

It's okay.

I'm comfortable where I am.

How much closer must we be

for you to accept something from me?

Show me

everything.

And tell me everything.

I'm already doing that.

I've never opened up this much
to anyone before.

Really?

Then why do I still feel like
I barely know you?

All right.

Ask what's on your mind.

I'll tell you everything.

The lab.

Doogo's a logistics company,

so why does it have a lab?

What happens there?

Why does it interest you?

I want to do my job well.

Medicine isn't something
Doogo distributes.

All right.

I'll take you there.

Where…

But this is where she went.

What on earth?

Why are you here, of all places?

Explain yourself.

I'm so congested.

Yes, hello?

Boss, I got caught.

Look here, Mr. Bread.

Meet me at Gold Blue this instant.

Sure thing.

Jeez, that idiot.

Get in here, Nam-gil.

Did you ask for me?

Nam-gil,

deal with him.

Does it hurt?

My throat.

Quiet!

Take it outside where I can't hear you!

Let's take it outside.

I think you hurt your Adam's apple.

I sound like a chicken.

You're being ridiculous!

Goodness.

There you go.

Should I get you a raw egg?

You really are too kind.

Mr. Song, you're here.

You…

What happened to your voice?

Did you inhale helium?

No, it's not like that.

Ms. Hwang…

attacked me.

You were hit by a woman?

You've got to be kidding me.

Where's Ms. Hwang?

- Lead the way.
- In there.

I just don't get her.

Why were you having me tailed?

First, tell me why you pretended
to be in the hospital.

What's your relationship with Ryu Si-o?

- Ms. Hwang--
- You told him that it wasn't me

lying in that hospital bed, didn't you?

That's why

Madam Kim came for me.

Madam Kim?

From which hostess bar?

Are you kidding me?

Ms. Hwang,

let's stop…

wasting our time.

All right.

That's exactly what I wanted.

When did it start?

What do you mean?

Stop playing dumb.

Ms. Hwang.

You should…

go out with me.

What?

You had a stand-in patient take your place

just to win my attention.

How long have you been
running background checks on me?

You even found an old photo of me
that no one knows about.

What…

You're adorable.

So let's date.

Even though you're not really my type.

I happen to prefer puppy-like faces.

Still, I'll try to find something else
that does it for me.

You little cream bun.

Look here, Mr. Bread.

What on earth are you?

Why are you doing this to me?

Isn't this what you wanted?

The photo of you and Ryu Si-o in Russia.

Explain that to me.

You keep mentioning this Ryu Si-o guy.
Who the hell is that?

You're only making me jealous.

What's with that photo?

Explain it to me.

I'll…

tell you

if you date me.

You've lost it, haven't you?

Let's go to the press.

Kick them in the side.

We'll say Doogo is exporting narcotics
in puffer jackets. How's that?

Director Jung Dae-cheol
is a member of Heritage Club.

Ryu Si-o even has the media covered.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Okay.

I'm heading out for a bit.

Let's give it a try and see who wins.

That puffer jacket's huge.

Is it because it was made for Russians?

It's because this wasn't made
for someone to wear.

It was made big to carry more drugs.

- I see.
- You're a genius.

You little punk.

- Where are you going?
- Not again.

He's going by himself again.

Leave him be.

What the…

What the hell?

I called Reporter Kim,
so head to the studio.

Tell the staff we'll be going live.

Yes, ma'am.

Where to, ma'am?

Number 8, Dosin-daero 34-gil, please.

All right.

Yes, Ms. Hwang.

Na-young, I sent you a car.

But I already got in a taxi.

Why would you take a taxi?

It's all right, ma'am.

I'll be there soon.

Don't worry.

Yes.

SECRETARY YOON

It's done.

Are we done hanging out for today?

I'm afraid that's the case.

We'll hang out more tomorrow.

Okay.

Good night.

Okay.

See you.

you're all I need.

Now, I can even take on Pavel.

Hwang Geum-ju has a daughter.

Find Gang Nam-soon.

Gan I-sik, I'm sending you a package.

I'll send it your way,
so have it analyzed.

There's something important
I must do today.

Gil Joong-gan is my lady.

Do I have to choose one?

One at a time.

Start with the easiest one.

Who sent you boys?

Go ahead and take
disciplinary action against me.

I'm quitting.

I'm going to put all my trust in you.

You were curious about the lab, right?

Who is she to you
that you brought her here?

She's one of my people.
