Huin Dal's gaze keeps wavering, as if he has doubts.

This is my first birthday cake after my grandma passed away.

You're not crying, right? It doesn't suit you.

No, I'm not crying.

Tell me about your family.

Me? I'm still single.

Snap out of it, Lee Chun Ja.

(Previously)

Hello, I'm Jin Ae Ri, Team Karma's youngest.

It's not part of the script, is it?

She's improvising right now, isn't she?

All the bodies are missing their teeth.

They were all plucked out.

Why didn't you call Skunk?

He's a member of Team Karma too.

Are you Skunk?

What on earth is in his treasure vault...

that the place is booby-trapped and has fingerprint scanners?

Skunk told me...

that I'd be his partner if he ever needed one.

It's open.

They managed to get inside.

We do have drones, but just in case,

can you two keep an eye on the perimeter?

It's too dark inside and I don't see much on screen.

I don't think we're inside a trap.

I'm guessing the entrance is at the end of this corridor.

I'll get closer.

What is it?

I think this is for the master key that allows you to enter.

The master key?

Right now, Kim Young Soo must have it.

Because he needs complete access.

People without the master key...

must get through the traps.

Okay.

(Connection with Skunk was severed.)

What is it?

What happened? What's wrong?

Skunk.

What's the matter?

(Connection with Skunk was severed.)

- What's wrong? - Skunk went offline.

All his suit functions are down too.

What?

This can't be happening.

I checked the battery,

and there's no jammer, so why...

It looks like all the guests are present.

Is it time...

for the host to appear?

No. Wait a moment.

- Hi. - How are you, sir?

You're here at last.

They'll work with you from now on.

Take the lead...

and head to the training facility.

Yes, sir.

Go.

Who are those people?

They say...

you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

What goes down today...

must happen according to plan, without a single hitch.

I can't leave everything...

to a man whose gaze is wavering.

Yes, sir.

(Episode 9)

Is there no way to restore the connection?

Hang on.

- What's this? - What's what?

The place was deserted,

but a whole load of people suddenly appeared.

The fools.

It has been a while...

since the main building had any visitors.

It'll be quite an interesting party.

What do we do...

with no radio and a non-functioning suit?

There's no going back.

We must keep going.

Yes, thanks.

Hello.

Huin Dal.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Kim Young Soo's watching us, isn't he?

He knew we'd be coming.

What about Inspector Choi and Skunk?

We lost communication.

Let me find the training facility's blueprints.

You pathetic fools.

Let's go.

Cho Huin Dal will lead the indoor search.

Shota, you lead the outdoor search.

There must be lots of stairs inside.

How are your knees? Shall we switch?

Let's go.

The director got a new set of knives.

They look pretty sleek and sharp.

I wonder what'll happen to the old, dull knife.

Hey. That's...

the doll I saw in Shimada's drawing.

My goodness.

Are you scared?

No. Why would I be?

Okay, then.

Your voice is still altered.

The electronic functions are jammed.

This is a biological system, so it's not affected.

I see.

What's this?

It looks like a drawing.

You don't know "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land?"

(Joseon artist An Gyeon's drawing of Prince Anpyeong's dream.)

Oh, is this "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land?"

Hey, look.

The black parts look like...

What is this?

Is this a puzzle?

Darn it.

What is this now?

It's the chanmun in "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land."

"Chanmun?"

What's that?

(Chanmun: Handwritten letters of appreciation by 20 public figures)

Well, you see...

I'm not well-versed in cultural heritage and history yet...

Let's try to solve this puzzle.

Okay.

What are you looking for?

If they're jamming radio waves or electronic signals,

there must be a control device somewhere.

Such devices emit a lot of heat,

so drones with infrared cameras can pick them up.

Oh! Look!

Gosh, you scared me. What? What is it?

Heat.

- Heat! - Oh!

Yes! Heat. I see it too. Over there.

Found it.

You see this, right?

Zone B, on the right side in the basement of the building.

The control device is somewhere here.

My gosh. It's a huge space though.

And those guys are right in front of the entrance.

We must find it and smash it.

That is the only way we can communicate with the two of them.

Is there a way to enter the building without using the entrance?

- You see this manhole outside? - Yes.

Open the manhole cover, and you'll see a drain.

Follow it, and you can get inside.

I'll go in.

It's over there.

Oh, got it.

And take this.

A small bomb to disturb them.

It's not that powerful,

but you can use this to stop the machine.

There's only one, so don't waste it. Okay?

Yes, sir.

It's over there?

- Captain. - Yes?

- What are you doing? - Oh, I'm going in.

Captain.

You're volunteering to do it...

because you don't want me to do something so dangerous.

- Right? - What?

No, I won't let you.

- I am going in. - What?

Hand it over.

- What's with you? - Hurry up and hand it over!

Senior Officer Shin Chang Hoon! I'm going in!

They're all dead meat.

- Stop. - Stop?

Recover position.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

- Try touching your toes. - Pardon me?

Touch your toes. 1, 2, 3.

That's it?

That's the best you can do?

Hey.

All you do is lift weights at the gym.

That's why you're so stiff.

You see, when you have to sneak in...

You have to be quick, nimble, and shrewd. It's all very important.

But the most important thing is that you must be flexible.

You're a big guy. How will you climb down that narrow manhole?

That's why you can't do this. Me? What about me?

I do yoga often.

Watch. 1, 2, 3. I can effortlessly touch my toes.

I'm like a mollusk. Look.

You fool! Hand it over, quick!

And don't be such a crybaby.

What is this, a tearjerker?

Ms. Lee! Namaste.

That fool.

Chang Hoon, you have an amazing boss.

I do, don't I?

Why are you standing here? Go help him lift the manhole cover.

Oh, right. Yes!

I'm so confused.

I can't figure this out.

The Oriental painting technique makes the puzzle more difficult.

What?

This one fits!

One, two, three, four, five...

We need to find just 11 more!

Yes, keep going.

Can't you give me a compliment or say something nice? My goodness.

Well...

This is a bit much.

What?

Don't.

I'm not 100-percent sure,

- but I think it's a poisonous gas. - What?

As soon as you put that piece in place, the doll's head turned.

Then the gas started seeping out.

A small amount might be okay,

but inhaling anything over the safety threshold could kill you.

Oh, the gas has stopped.

Every time you find the right piece, the gas seeps out.

After a certain amount of time, it stops.

But why?

They don't want us to die easily. That's why.

I bet that's why they're not using lethal gas...

and are using a gas that sinks to the bottom.

"We'll give you plenty of time."

"Close your eyes, hold your breath,"

"and solve the puzzle in this gas chamber." Is that it?

Giving hope and despair at the same time and getting a kick out of it.

The entire trap will be like this.

That jerk.

Stand on this thing. I'll find the pieces.

Oh, I'm fine. Let's look for them together.

This mask can protect me from toxic gases.

I'll hand over the pieces to you. Find the ones that fit.

Okay.

Let's see.

Why can't I lift this?

- Chang Hoon... - I'm almost there.

Chang Hoon, here...

You always try too hard.

This is...

You can't go in if we...

Oh, you already got in.

Goodness, you fool. I'm off.

Wait!

What?

This time, you must be really careful. Okay?

Okay, you punk.

Hey! Don't suddenly burst into tears again.

- Okay. - I'm off.

See you later!

Chang Hoon, stay right there and stand guard.

It's the only exit Captain Jang can use.

Got it. I'll guard this spot with my life.

Don't you worry.

I found another one.

Each time we find a piece, another handspan seeps out.

But we have no idea how the situation could change,

so we should just keep going.

That spot over there.

We just have one more left.

Skunk?

Skunk.

Skunk, where are you?

Answer me.

Skunk?

Darn it.

What the...

We completed it.

What?

What the... The gas didn't shut off.

What do we do? Did we not get it right?

Maybe we thought too lightly of it.

What now?

Where did it go wrong?

Mr. Hwang?

Why are you here?

I'll explain everything later,

so let's focus on getting out first.

What?

- What are you doing? - Put it on.

But... Wait!

I'm going to take a better look at the image.

I'd rather do that without the goggles on. Got it?

Could this be a prank?

Maybe this wasn't designed to let anyone out.

No, I'm sure there's something here.

(Ko Deuk Jong)

(Jung In Ji)

"Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land."

Ko Deuk Jong.

Kim Jong Seo.

Shin Sook Ju.

Ko Deuk Jong.

From Shimada's perspective,

the writings aren't in the right order.

What do you mean by that?

Mr. Hwang.

What are you doing?

Mr. Hwang!

Captain Jang, where exactly are you?

I think it's the mechanical room.

I see. Now, you must search all of basement area B.

Sure. I'll head out to the hallway first.

There's a security guard up ahead.

Use the anesthetic gun I gave you.

Right.

You're a good shooter, I presume?

You need to shoot his thigh or belly.

Don't worry.

I was an expert marksman...

during my days in the special forces.

All right.

Gosh, he's too far away.

Hey, there.

This hallway is like a maze.

Could you perhaps come a little closer?

Okay.

- What... - I shot him,

but he's not going down.

Could he be a druggie?

Mister, just collapse, will you?

Wait. Mister, don't!

Don't.

I'm impressed.

Threat has been neutralized.

Captain Jang, that was incredible.

Gosh, that was nothing.

I'll now head to the floor below.

Okay.

Mr. Hwang!

Mr. Hwang!

Mr. Hwang, wake up.

Mr. Hwang!

What?

Mr. Hwang.

Mr. Hwang?

Oh, no.

What did you do?

I was performing CPR...

Why did you pretend to be dead?

I wasn't pretending anything. I actually almost died.

What the...

Hey, wait for me!

Darn it.

So, how did it go?

Did you catch the rats?

Not yet, sir.

Seriously? Must our grand project be interrupted...

by annoying little pests?

Deal with them!

Yes, sir.

It's been quite a while.

Could they be dead?

If that was the case, their dead bodies would've dropped,

and the door would've unlocked.

Unbelievable.

- What is it? - What do you mean?

- What's wrong? - What?

The writings...

How did you know they were the key?

The writings for "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land"...

are recorded in a different order compared to how they're on display.

On record, Ko Deuk Jong's piece comes first.

Meanwhile, the writings are currently on display in Japan...

starting with Shin Sook Ju's piece.

I see. Gosh.

How do you know so much about these?

I'm a top employee...

at the Cultural Heritage Administration.

Aren't you coming?

Sure, I'm coming.

Can I have it back?

Of course.

But why did you lie about your identity?

What?

I'm curious, that's all.

I should at least know why if I'm going to die here today.

You didn't believe me.

What?

You said it's bull.

When...

Back then...

You didn't believe me then and now you say that.

I was...

Forget it. Let's concentrate.

Our goal is to get the Joseon Tongbo coins.

Fine.

I want out of this annoying place.

Let's go.

I'm in basement level two.

According to the blueprint, that's the last floor.

You must sense heat from somewhere.

Okay. I'll look around.

Someone's on the floor.

Find them fast.

Oh, no.

Code Red.

Mugunghwa men are approaching you, Chang Hoon.

Do I finally get to warm up?

Okay. I'll secure this place at all costs.

Don't you leave the van.

Guys.

I got something extra today.

Come at me.

Let's see how these do.

What's that?

What?

Come in.

Darn it.

Min Woo.

You're strong.

Just say thanks.

What place is this?

This is insane.

Why? What is it?

It's a tomb.

- A Baekje-era tomb. - What?

It looks like a replica of a Baekje-era tomb.

Is this supposed to be where we die or something?

Why? Do you want to be buried with me?

No. Why would you even say something that scary?

Why did he go with a Baekje-era tomb?

There could be many reasons.

In the Japanese colonial era,

they used the excuse of researching Baekje-era tombs...

to steal lots of our treasures.

The 29th tomb in Songsan-ri, Gongju was found recently,

but all the artifacts were gone.

Thieves had taken all they could remove and what was left...

were the walls and floor made with bricks.

The people who found the tomb first considered everything their booty.

Oh, do they want to say this is part of their glorious past,

or something like that?

He's a real psycho.

We can't lose to this psycho.

Let's get out of here.

Sounds good.

Oh, did you see the light earlier?

- A light? - Yes.

It was somewhere here.

I don't see it.

Was it a will o' the wisp since this is a tomb?

I definitely saw something.

Is it too bright in here now?

Wait. Why are you suddenly stripping?

You saw it in the dark.

We must darken the room.

I see.

- Min Woo. - Yes?

Thanks.

Hey.

You meant that one over there?

Yes.

Do we press that?

What are you doing?

Give me some time.

Okay.

Skunk was all about the suit.

- What? - No, nothing.

I inhaled way too much poisonous gas earlier.

I'm feeling the side effects.

I'm too dizzy.

Oh, I see.

Let me have a go, then.

I just need a short break.

- We don't have time, do we? - What...

- What are you... - Lend me a shoulder.

- Can you not... - Ready?

- Darn it. - One, two, three.

Can you grab my feet and push me up?

On my count. One, two, three.

Okay.

Now...

Can you...

You're pretty quick.

Not bad.

Just say thanks.

Thanks.

Darn it.

I'm really sorry.

I hate surprises like this.

You scared me.

How did you manage to be Skunk?

Hold onto me.

What's this?

What?

Push it.

Hey.

I think I found it.

The blueprint says it's storage.

I think that's the place.

I'll go inside.

(AC Maintenance Unit B3-B)

Follow me!

- Found it. - Nice!

Hurry up and set up the bomb.

Oh, my. This really is special.

Go ahead and shoot me.

This suit is bulletproof, you idiots.

Hey, no!

That's an old model. It's not bulletproof!

Hey, don't fire outside the building.

Gosh.

My gosh, I nearly died.

Ms. Lee.

This provides anti-electric-shock protection, right?

Yes, it does. Don't worry.

Yes, sir!

Goodness.

Who are you guys?

It's not a powerful bomb,

and we don't know what the wiring situation is like,

so you have to set it up right in the middle.

Right in the middle?

But it's round like a ball, so...

Gosh, how do I do this?

Didn't I give you the epoxy adhesive?

- No. - Oh, no.

We have to destroy the device in one blow.

I don't have an epoxy adhesive,

but I have something.

What is it?

- The blue duct tape. - What a relief.

But why do you carry it around?

It's very versatile.

You can use it as a gag...

and to tie people up.

Anyway, I don't know why it's called "blue tape."

It's green.

See? It's perfect for setting up bombs too.

There. Okay.

Now, get out of there quickly and press the button.

Oh, my.

Hello.

Hold on. Hey, stop!

What's going on? You're scaring me. Hey! All right.

Hey, I can fight well. I'm a cop!

Hey! I told you to stop.

Hey! You little...

Why you...

You punk.

Come here.

Come here!

What? What is this?

Why did it stop?

- Did you touch something? - No.

- Wait. - What?

See the brick the doll is staring at? The one sticking out.

- This one? - Yes.

(Gong)

- Are you all right? - Yes.

It's a gold earring.

It's a gold earring from the Baekje period.

It was found in some Baekje-era tombs,

but it's rare.

Is that golden crown also from the Baekje period?

Yes.

Then...

should we try putting the earring here too?

Put Baekje king's treasures...

on a doll wearing a kimono?

This scumbag...

Let's try it. We have to get out of here, you know.

I think you're right.

Find things hidden behind the bricks...

and put them on this doll. That must be it.

We need to find three more things.

A necklace,

a bracelet, and a ring.

But how can we find the bricks?

That brick you pulled out earlier.

Was there something written on it?

"Gong." As in "accomplishment."

The doll is missing three accessories.

Including the one we found, there are four in total.

Right.

Four Chinese characters. A four-character idiom?

One with "gong."

- Find bricks with letters on them. - Okay.

- Shall we remove these? - Yes.

Now, I can see better.

Gosh.

Darn it.

There are way too many.

This won't do.

Why don't we think of four-character idioms with "gong?"

Can you think of any?

"Hyeongseoljigong," "Igongdogong."

And...

"Bulsejigong."

It's got to be something...

that is connected to this situation.

What could it be?

The secret behind my success is...

not giving up and ceaselessly carrying on with my work...

as if it's my divine calling.

Shimada said this in one of his interviews.

"ever giving up is the key to success."

"Gongjaebulsa?"

"Every accomplishment rests on the foundation of not giving up."

Okay.

Gong, jae, bul...

Jae.

Who are you jerks?

Here, found it.

Every time a brick is taken out, the walls move.

Right. Then...

There's room for them to move three times...

which means we have three attempts.

That's right.

First, let's see what's inside.

Sure.

Chang Hoon, you must secure that area.

It's the only exit Captain Jang has.

My gosh.

What do I do?

My gosh!

You...

Gosh.

There.

(Messages)

We drink to enjoy the buzz,

so must I have coffee and sober up?

For the Generation Z, round two usually means coffee.

- Exactly. - Right.

- And then we'll drink again. - Exactly.

Ae Ri?

Gosh, Director Min.

- What are you doing here? - Hello.

- Gosh. - Hi.

Why are you still here...

when you skipped the team dinner because you were sick?

Well, I finished up my work...

and was heading home when I got dizzy.

I came in to rest.

I see.

- Head on home and rest, then. - Sure.

Director Min.

I'm sorry to ask,

but could I take a few vacation days?

That's out of the blue.

I haven't been feeling well,

and there are issues at home.

Dae Myeong's on sick leave, so with you also gone,

there will be no one left on your team.

That's true, but...

Well, the case involving Baek Yul Ho...

shocked me,

and I still haven't recovered.

Hey.

Did Dae Myeong say something?

Not really. Only the fact that...

Baek Yul Ho, you, and Mr. Hwang...

had drinks, dined together,

and went to the sauna...

among other things.

Well, that's...

- Fine. Take a few days off. - Really?

I know you've been working hard...

without cashing in your vacation days,

so of course.

Thank you.

Enjoy your time, then.

I guess it wasn't gongjaebulsa.

It may not have been...

a four-character idiom to begin with.

Then what?

Let's go over this again.

We're in a Baekje-era tomb.

Earrings and the crown...

are artifacts from the Baekje era.

That's right.

And we had no choice...

but to accessorize the doll in a kimono.

That's it.

Our way out must be some sort of ritual.

We're to offer Baekje artifacts to this doll.

Could the answer lie with whomever this doll represents?

That's right.

Who could it be?

Someone with "gong" in her name.

Someone who fits this situation we're in.

Empress Jingu.

Let's first find the other syllables.

Spirit "shin," king "hwang," and king "hu."

Sure.

Your teeth will be mine to take.

So long.

Where do you think you're going?

It's not over yet.

Also,

my teeth are quite expensive.

I found "shin."

I found "hu."

- Let's remove them. - Sure.

In 1, 2, 3.

- Are you good? - Yes.

Empress Jingu was the answer.

Who is she, anyway?

She only appears in Japanese records.

The legend has it...

that she ruled over southern Korea and Baekje paid tributes.

No one believes the stories anymore,

but many did around the time...

this secret storage was built.

Shimada was probably one of them.

Anyway, the trap was designed...

based on the Baekje people giving her tributes.

We only need to find "hwang" and the necklace in the brick.

I already located it. It's that way.

Where is it?

At the far end.

There.

(Hwang)

There's only room for the wall to move once.

Taking the necklace out in that short amount of them...

and pinning it on the doll...

seems impossible.

Then pull it out and hand it to me.

I'll pin it on the doll.

- What? - Have faith in me.

We're a team, remember?

All right.

Speed is key.

We must pin it before the wall crushes us.

Don't resent me even if I fail.

I wouldn't be able to...

since I'll be dead.

- Shall we? - Sure.

Darn it.

(Hwang)

(Stealer: The Treasure Keeper)

You. Turn around slowly.

Who are you?

Kim Young Soo shot a cop.

There's no way out.

We'll report it and lock him up.

- Look! - We must arrest him...

and confiscate the Joseon Tongbo coins.

He's their son.

Call Huin Dal.

I wanted to invite you.
