Monday, March 29, 2021. This is your one-minute traffic report.

HANGANG RIVER

Fine dust carried by the northwesterly wind,

along with heavy fog, is reducing visibility.

Please stay alert for unexpected situations--

MARCH 29, 2021, 4:00 A.M. HANGANG BRIDGE

At around 4 a.m.,

a report came in about a car crashing into the Hangang Bridge guardrail

and sustaining heavy damage.

Police immediately sealed off the area

and started investigating the cause of the accident.

However, the thick fog and fine dust

are making it hard to process the scene.

Current traffic restrictions will remain in effect until…

MURDER ON THE HANGANG BRIDGE I

CRIME SCENE ZERO

FINE DUST 167 µg/m³ CURRENT TEMPERATURE

The air is nasty.

You shouldn't be outside on days like this.

The fine dust level is so high.

And what's with this thick fog?

LEAD INVESTIGATOR ON THE THIRD CASE KIM DETECTIVE

Man, it looks like someone's been drunk driving or something.

It slammed into the guardrail.

AN ACCIDENT WHERE A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE HANGANG BRIDGE GUARDRAIL

So someone had been driving,

and both the driver and the person in the passenger seat

were thrown from their seats into the Hangang River.

TWO HOLES IN THE WINDSHIELD

As of right now,

I only see one body.

A BODY FLOATING IN THE RIVER

The door's unlocked.

Why is the door unlocked?

This is unlocked too.

If the passengers had been thrown from their seats during the crash,

all the doors should've been locked.

MEANWHILE

This one's locked.

Both the front and back doors are locked on the passenger's side.

The shards of glass from the windshield

are on the driver's side and not the passenger's.

As for the car's hood,

the driver's side is clean,

whereas the passenger's side is covered with shards.

It doesn't seem like your typical car crash.

It appears to be

a murder staged to look like a car crash.

-Hello, Detective. -Oh, AD.

-I'm Kang Minhee, the assistant detective. -There you are.

Do we know who the victim is?

Yes. This is everything we have so far on the victim and suspects.

Here's the file.

CASE FILE DELIVERED

All right, let's start with the victim.

The victim is Park So-yun, a 30-year-old female.

She's a newlywed of three months and a stay-at-home wife.

A car crash on the Hangang Bridge was reported at 4 a.m.,

and her body was found floating in the river.

The estimated time of death is between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.

Where did the other person go?

WAS THERE ONLY ONE VICTIM?

Whose car is this?

The victim's or someone else's?

I knew you'd ask, so I came prepared.

I see.

You're on top of things, aren't you?

You got me a neat rundown of the car owner.

Cho Yo-sep, a 35-year-old male.

The victim's husband,

and the leader of the Hangang Bridge Water Rescue Team.

So where is Cho Yo-sep?

We've been trying to contact him but haven't had any luck yet.

Could he be underwater in the Hangang River down there?

-We'll have to confirm that. -All right.

-Keep trying to contact him for now. -Sure.

Meanwhile, bring the suspects in this case here immediately.

-Yes, sir. I'll bring them over. -Okay.

With the weather this gloomy,

the case is looking all the more mysterious.

What's going on? Oh my, there must've been an accident.

-Oh, dear. -Hubby, don't look.

THE 5 SUSPECTS ARE SUMMONED

-Suspects, please come this way. -Oh, Hubby. Did that spook you?

Who here is the suspect?

Every one of you is a suspect.

-Us? -What is he talking about?

-I'm a busy woman, you know. -Hurry on over.

-This looks like… -Oh my. This is a major accident.

-Can you even see? -This should be scrapped.

Sorry about that.

This can't be salvaged.

-Wait, hold on. -There's no way.

Are you perhaps Hwang Billionaire of Heaven Sent Group?

-Why did you drag me out here so early? -It's Hwang Billionaire!

-Don't you know him? -Hwang Billionaire.

Goodness. What a pleasure.

-What an honor. -Nice to meet you.

-I'm in business myself. -I see.

I'm Hwang Billionaire.

Right, of course. It's a pleasure.

-Well, I… -Nice to finally see you in person.

-I respect you. -Why the handshakes?

He's my role model.

Oh jeez. What are you, a fly?

-Mister, why did you bring us here? -Are you okay, Hubby?

-It's not "mister." -He's a busy man.

First of all, let me give you a quick rundown of the case.

This car crashed into the Hangang Bridge guardrail,

leaving a body floating in the river.

-What? A body? -Down there?

-If you look at the windshield… -What on earth happened?

-Oh my! -My gosh!

-But it's so cold today. -Miss, look over there.

Oh my!

Shouldn't you get the body out of there? The water must be freezing.

-What on earth happened? -Oh dear.

There are two holes here,

one on the driver's side and the other on the passenger's side.

These seem to suggest both were thrown out of their seats through the glass.

However, there's only one body.

It's obviously suicide.

These are difficult times.

-It's been an issue. -I called you to the scene

to get to the bottom of this case.

One of you

is the culprit behind this murder.

What? Are you serious?

Are you seriously suspecting him?

-You've got some nerve. -I already have a pretty good idea.

I can tell from your expressions alone.

-How cocky. -Now, AD,

go get the body ready for examination.

Yes, sir.

All right, let's go.

Follow me, everyone.

Who are you to boss us around? I'm having the worst luck this year.

DIGGING INTO THE SUSPECTS

First suspect, Hwang Billionaire.

A 41-year-old male.

Vice president at Heaven Sent Group, a conglomerate.

Second suspect, Jang Buddy.

A 35-year-old male.

Foreign car dealer.

Third suspect, Jang Neighbor.

A 47-year-old male.

Hangang River water taxi operator and the victim's next-door neighbor.

Fourth suspect, Park Kara.

A 46-year-old female.

CEO of Kara Okay, a cosmetics company.

Fifth suspect, An Marry.

A 29-year-old female.

Owner of Marry Marry Zzong Zzong Zzong, a dog grooming salon.

Let me remind you once again.

Somebody here, besides me,

is the culprit.

Do you even hear yourself? This could hurt my company's value.

Let me briefly introduce myself.

I'm Kim Detective, the detective with the most swagger.

I'm sure you're familiar with the star profiler,

-Pyo Chang-wan. -Yes, of course.

I studied by watching his YouTube videos.

What's he barking about?

And let's not forget the queen of psychological counseling.

You probably all know Dr. Oh Eun-yong.

-Right, I watch her shows often. -Who doesn't know Dr. Oh?

I've watched all the shows she's been on.

So have I.

-Maybe you just watch a lot of TV. -No, that's not it.

Sounds like you're unemployed.

SKEPTICISMS ABOUT "SWAGGER DETECTIVE"

Then, let's start with Jang Buddy.

Please tell us about yourself

and the nature of your relationship with the victim, Park So-yun.

-First of all, I'm a foreign car dealer. -A foreign car dealer?

So you're a car dealer.

I'm actually an old friend of the victim's husband.

This must've been a crime of passion then, right?

The truth is, I'm the one who set him up with So-yun.

-You introduced them? -I'm right.

-You deal in people too? -So your best friend

married the woman you set him up with, correct?

Yes, I set them up, hoping they'd tie the knot.

She must've been his ex-girlfriend.

Next, the suspect with the most questionable hairstyle.

-Excuse me? -Jang Neighbor.

Well, I…

I operate a water taxi here on the Hangang River.

A water taxi?

Whenever you're stuck in traffic,

please give me a call, and I'll be of service.

Tell us about your relationship with the victim, Park So-yun.

She and her husband live next door to me.

-I see. They're your neighbors? -That's right.

The couple moved in about three months ago,

so there hasn't been a lot of interaction between us.

But there were noise issues,

so we weren't exactly on the best of terms.

A lot of murders happen these days because of noise issues

between apartment floors.

I just assumed they were a bit oversensitive.

Is that why you wanted to kill them both?

Gosh, no. I'm not that kind of person.

I'm a man making an honest living operating a water taxi.

All right.

There's someone here who hasn't spoken once since they arrived.

-Sorry? -Mr. Billionaire.

-Are the rich always reserved? -Unbelievable.

You're very quiet.

He's not someone who'd chat with us.

As you can see, I'm quite busy.

-I've been enjoying your vlogs. -Thank you.

You head to the office early and also show your morning routine.

-You're the ultimate role model-- -You're my role model.

What the…

You both see him as a role model?

-How dare you? -Excuse me.

-May I introduce myself? -Please do.

All right. I'm Hwang Billionaire, the vice president at Heaven Sent Group,

one of Korea's leading companies.

-You're the vice president? -That's right.

I actually read the article.

You became vice president

because you married well, didn't you?

I'm only stating the facts.

-My, you just crossed the line. -That's true.

Was I too direct?

We all know the story. It made headlines.

He used to be on the Water Rescue Team,

and he saved the life of a drowning woman

who turned out to be a chaebol family's daughter.

And just like that, he became her Prince Charming.

It couldn't have been a coincidence.

We need to dig into him.

The victim's husband, Cho Yo-sep,

is a junior colleague of mine.

You all know that I was formerly on the Hangang Bridge Water Rescue Team.

My wife and I

dined with Yo-sep and his wife once.

It must be because they were newlyweds, but they seemed very happy together.

-Is that so? -Yes.

-So they seemed happy. -That's right.

What is Mr. Cho Yo-sep like?

He's always been generous to those around him,

so he has a good reputation.

He's good to me too.

He's a good person.

I've known Yo-sep since we were kids.

Oh, I see.

-I'm his next-door neighbor. -Right.

-Jeez, you people… -Nice to meet you.

-I'm the CEO of Kara Okay. -Right.

-You should give me one first. -I'm Park Kara.

-Why-- -That was my last card.

I'm sure you've heard of Kara Okay.

-It's a global cosmetics company. -Kara Okay?

-Cosmetics? -Yes.

First of all, is that your real name?

Of course.

-Park Kara. -Park Kara.

-Are you perhaps a fan of baccarat? -Excuse me?

Can't you see this? It's a calla lily.

A calla lily? Oh, the flower.

The name itself is beautiful, but it's quite unfortunate

that your last name had to be Park.

You've got to be kidding me.

As for me… What was her name again?

-Ms. Park So-yun. -Right.

I feel like I've heard her name before,

-but nothing's coming to me. -Right.

As for Mr. Cho Yo-sep, I've met him once.

I speak at a lot of business seminars, and one was at where he works.

He was friendly and polite.

That's how he seemed.

-Can I go? Hubby seems hungry. -Go ahead.

-A hubby? You said you weren't married. -You can go.

It's my dog. His name is Hubby.

-So that's who you meant. -All right.

-Who brings a dog at the crack of dawn? -Please introduce yourself first.

Hi, I'm An Marry,

and I'm the owner of a nearby dog grooming salon

called Marry Marry Zzong Zzong Zzong.

I don't know Ms. Park So-yun that well,

but I met Yo-sep

at the Hangang River Puppy Crew.

-What's Puppy Crew? -Puppy Crew?

Oh, it's actually Puppy Running Crew.

It's a running group where people go on runs with their dogs.

Yo-sep was stylish and quite good-looking.

-I see. -Yes.

-Running has been all the rage. -I smell an affair.

-I'm telling you. -What are you talking about?

-You knew he was married. -You didn't like him, did you?

-Well… -So that's why…

WOOF WOOF!

What was that? Hold on.

-Are you okay? -What did Hubby say?

He wants you to quit barking nonsense.

All right, then.

I realized something interesting while listening to your stories.

All of you suspects gathered here today

are more closely connected

to the victim's husband, Cho Yo-sep,

than to the victim, Park So-yun.

I have to say, this is quite unusual.

Where's the husband?

Try calling him. You're his best friend.

Why don't you try calling him?

Oh, you were turning Bluetooth on.

He's not answering.

HANGING UP

It's a total dog's breakfast today.

Don't listen to her, Hubby.

The estimated time of death

is between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.

Now, given that information,

let's hear each suspect's alibi at that time frame.

First, Mr. Jang Buddy.

I was sleeping and even dreaming.

-It was a lovely dream. -You were asleep?

What about you, Ms. An Marry, CEO of Marry Marry Zzong Zzong Zzong?

I was in my grooming salon,

sound asleep.

-Do you not have a home? -Do you not have a home?

There's a small room inside the salon.

-So she's homeless. -No way.

And Mr. Hwang Billionaire?

I was at the office the whole time, busy with work.

-Between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.? -At that hour?

That's how companies are run.

We work while you're asleep.

-Of course. -I guess that makes sense.

Is there anyone who can verify that?

Shouldn't my word suffice?

-That's so cool. -I'm writing that down.

And you, Ms. Park Kara?

-I run a global company -Sure.

-in the K-beauty industry. -Of course.

Communicating and corresponding with people in Europe and the US

can easily lead to an all-nighter.

-So you were working at the office? -That's right.

Mr. Jang Neighbor, you're next.

Right.

Well, I was…

I was praying.

-You were praying? -Yes.

Did you pray you wouldn't be caught after committing a murder?

Gosh, no. What a terrifying thing to say.

Then what were you praying about?

Just for some personal stuff in my life.

That sounds a bit suspicious.

Based on the alibis you provided,

no one could have done it.

The two of you were asleep at home.

-Everyone here seems so nice and friendly. -Right.

All right.

I, Kim Detective, the swagger detective,

will surely catch the culprit.

Here's to hoping you find as much evidence as possible.

-Off we go! -Sure.

Please come this way.

Please come this way.

I know my way around this area.

TEAM 1: JANG NEIGHBOR & HWANG BILLIONAIRE

Marry Zzong Zzong, hurry up.

What's taking you so long?

Just a second. I want to leave my baby here.

My sweet little…

Goodness, Hubby. You tripped. Come here.

You can rest here. Mommy will be right back.

They got her body out of the river.

That's good work by our AD.

Oh jeez.

EXAMINING THE BODY FIRST

This is unbelievable.

Drowning has to be the cause of death.

I see glass shards lodged in her forehead.

-You're right. -Right?

She must've gotten those cuts as she went through the windshield.

As for other injuries…

It doesn't look like there's any other evidence on the body.

I wonder what happened.

Why don't we head up to the car?

-Shall we? -Sure.

It's a pity such a nice car got rammed into the guardrail.

It was a horrific accident for sure.

Meanwhile, no one knows where Yo-sep is.

Is he even alive?

To get answers, we'll have to inspect the car.

Hold on. Was she the one driving, or was she in the passenger seat?

There are holes on both sides of the windshield.

I see hair strands.

Look, right here. There's a lot of hair stuck to the glass.

I see. She was in the passenger seat.

Wait a second.

The glass shards are outside the car on the passenger's side.

But on the driver's side, they're inside.

The glass shards are inside the car on the driver's side.

-There aren't any on the other side? -No, not on the passenger's side.

If the shards are inside,

the glass must've been struck from the outside.

Check this out.

It's an emergency hammer.

This is a hammer used to break car windows.

I think the windshield was smashed with this.

-On the driver's side, I mean. -I see.

Wait, the seat belt.

Why was the seat belt cut?

Take a photo of this.

It's important.

-It was cut first and then torn, right? -It was cut and then torn at the end.

-The airbag burst. -Yes.

Does it usually get ripped like this?

Is this normal?

A TORN AIRBAG

Wait, there's something down there.

On the footwell.

FOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR MAT

-What is it? -It's a box cutter.

So that must've been used to cut these.

They cut the airbag.

-And the seat belt. -Right, and the seat belt.

They must've staged an accident.

-On purpose? -Exactly.

There's water.

Why is there water on this side?

Why?

Why is there water in the car when it didn't go into the water?

The back seat is wet as well.

Did the killer open the car doors after they got out of the water or what?

SUITCASE FOUND

There's a suitcase.

Did she pack for a vacation?

-The trunk won't open. -It won't?

Let me see. Wait, there's a key.

CAR KEY FOUND

You can release this, and…

-Right, of course. -We can use this.

You'd know from driving all those fancy cars.

TRUNK OPEN

IS THERE SOMETHING INSIDE?

There's nothing here.

Why is it empty? That's not right.

The gate was left open, huh?

Someone must've gone up and down the ladder.

But we're up so high.

This looks dangerous.

These are skid marks.

There are skid marks over here as well.

Skid marks of this length suggest

rapid acceleration or sudden braking.

Or maybe the car sped up, turned back quickly,

and crashed into the guardrail.

STORM DRAIN

What's this?

How do you lift the grate?

What is it?

-My heart's racing. -Why?

I haven't felt a dopamine rush like this since I started my company.

There are bloodstains on the front.

BLOOD ON THE FRONT BUMPER

Where's the person who was hit by this car?

This case is an absolute mystery.

PARK SO-YUN & CHO YO-SEP'S HOUSE

In cases like this, we must always start by learning the backstory

-of the deceased. -Is that so?

You need to know what the backstories are

to figure out why they died.

So, I'll swing by the couple's house and thoroughly search the place.

Would you look at that?

They collected paintings

and designer purses.

They only drank premium water as well.

They wallowed in luxury.

Wait. "Night shift." He worked the night shift that day?

If he worked the night shift on the 28th,

that means he should've been working all night tonight.

28TH - NIGHT SHIFT 29TH - DATE OF INCIDENT

Right, of course.

Only someone with life experience would notice something like this.

They were just husband and wife on paper, huh?

Okay.

POKER CHIPS AND LIGHTERS FROM CASINOS

Chips, huh?

"Jackpot Land." "Gamblers House."

A BOX INSIDE THE CABINET

A two million won membership at Smooth Beauty Shop.

Smooth? Oh, it's actually "Swoosh."

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP 2 MILLION WON

"Kim First Marriage"?

Who's Kim First Marriage?

ANOTHER BOX

"Deliciously Touching."

COOKBOOKS?

ON THE BACK OF ONE COOKBOOK

"Lee Second Marriage"? What's this about?

Who's this person?

Who are Kim First Marriage

and Lee Second Marriage?

What's this?

Wait. It's a payment reminder.

"Since Cho Yo-sep brought in a bankroller,

one billion won of his two-billion-won debt

to Gamblers House has been cleared."

"Gamblers House"?

What happened?

Why is the plant knocked over?

A PLANT POT KNOCKED DOWN IN A CORNER OF THE GARAGE

This looks like the one we found earlier.

Wait. Is it the same model?

AN IDENTICAL BOX CUTTER?

What are these?

That's 3425.

CAR LICENSE PLATES

What are these?

GPS from Steel Car Rental?

Hold on.

What's with all these?

CHO YO-SEP'S LEDGER

Dated back in 2013.

"Foreign car, smuggled out of the country."

I see.

He took in cars that had been parked for extended periods

for some shady business.

Are you kidding me?

AMOUNT: 15 MILLION (HALF OF 30 MILLION)

JANG BUDDY'S HOUSE

I should check out his house.

I found evidence related to cars

at Cho Yo-sep's house,

so I went to Jang Buddy's place next

since he introduced himself as a car dealer.

He must drink a lot.

The place is a mess.

What's this?

Check these out.

ALSO FOUND AT JANG BUDDY'S HOUSE

Unbelievable.

CAR LICENSE PLATES AND GPS

"Steel Car Rental." They must've been in cahoots.

Hold on a second.

JANG BUDDY'S LAPTOP

"Big Score Community"? What on earth is this?

"We dream of big scores and no sweat. Big Score Community."

Was he running this?

"I'll be in touch."

"Please help this penniless orphan."

"I know of an amazing opportunity for a big score. Who's interested?"

"I don't do anything predictable. Only call if you've got the balls."

Hold on a second.

Is that Cho Yo-sep?

IS THE COMMENTER "YO_SEP!" CHO YO-SEP?

Wait a second. Is this…

"A lowlife of 29 years. I'm freaking desperate here."

"I'm a woman living in Seoul."

Wait, what?

POSTED BY: SMALL_PARK

WE_AINT_STRANGERS I'LL BE IN TOUCH

This is unbelievable.

Cho Yo-sep and…

CHATS

"Why'd you set me up with a woman like her this time?"

He must've introduced a lot of women to him.

"Why'd you set me up with a woman like her this time?"

"I'm going to have to end this soon."

So he was going to break things off.

CHO YO-SEP, PARK SO-YUN

"Why'd you set me up with someone like him?"

What the heck?

PARK SO-YUN, JAN 14, 2021: THE DAMN LUNATIC YELLS AND CURSES!

HANGADAK

"Car collision on Seoul Hangang Bridge."

"Front seat passenger dies in fire."

"Ms. Lee" and "Mr. Cho."

Wait. Can that be Cho Yo-sep?

"Heaven Sent Life Insurance."

"Gamblers House."

So the guy received payouts from the insurance company.

Something smells fishy, all right.

So Buddy must've found something out.

What's this?

Hold on.

YEAR PLANNER

What's all this? "Da-won."

"Gyo-eun."

"Won-yeong."

What's this about? Was he dating multiple women?

16TH, THURS: JU-A, 10 O'CLOCK 17TH, FRI: IN-SEON, 7 O'CLOCK

He's a player.

What's this?

INSIDE THE GLASS BOTTLE FILLED WITH PAPER CRANES

"I thought you were upstanding, but you were far from it."

"You stole my heart."

LOVE NOTES?

"Remember this date. August 2, 2019."

"August 2, 2019, 6 p.m."

There's nothing under August 2nd.

I should just ask him about it.

LUNCH BOXES

What are these?

"I heard you were sick."

"Have some porridge and get better."

"It's evenly cooked."

Who was this from?

"I made some side dishes."

LOVE NOTES HERE TOO?

Who wrote all these?

JULY 30, 2011, HANGANG BRIDGE

"Celebrating Hangang River-Crossing Contest."

River-Crossing Contest?

JANG NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

Let's check out this house.

I see. The houses are identical.

The houses looked exactly the same.

From the outside, one might even confuse the two.

JANG NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE PARK SO-YUN & CHO YO-SEP'S HOUSE

Everything has been burned. What did he do here?

Didn't he say he was praying?

Everything has been burned.

What's with this piece of paper?

From Seoul Unfair Police Station to Jang Neighbor.

So they concluded that it was an accidental fire, not arson.

Something definitely smells fishy.

"Lifeguard"?

That suggests there's somewhat of a connection, doesn't it?

WATER TAXI ROUTE MAP

"Hangang Bridge, number eight."

NOTES ABOUT BRIDGES

"Traffic accidents."

BRIDGE 8, ACCIDENT-PRONE AREA

Looks like he was living on instant noodles.

Why does he have so many paper cups?

"Certification of Content."

REQUEST FOR TERMINATION OF HOUSING LEASE CONTRACT

He signed a lease agreement for a house,

but reports were filed for his breach of special clauses

concerning noise and cleanliness.

So, the landlord was evicting him.

"Consultation."

"Cho Y." So Cho Yo-sep filed a complaint.

"The odor from the homeless makes living here unbearable."

The homeless? What's this guy's deal?

What's over here?

Did he collect clothes that people threw out?

MEANWHILE, IN THE DRAWER

What are these? Why are there nice clothes in here?

The drawer is filled with designer clothes. Jhanel.

A Noncler fur sweater worth 2.3 million won.

What's this?

He bought so many designer items.

Brada.

More Jhanel.

But these were all signed by So-yun. Wait, what?

Jeez, I just can't figure it out.

"Request for Attendance."

So he lurked around the house next door, peeked through the window,

and eventually broke in.

Man, he's a stalker too, huh? He's the total package.

What's this? "Russia, five."

"India, three."

"Brazil, three."

"China, three. Kenya, four."

What the heck? What exactly does this guy do?

"Captain Eun Smuggler."

He's no ordinary water taxi operator. He's a career smuggler.

What a mysterious guy.

JANG NEIGHBOR'S LAPTOP

What's this? Five Viscera and Six Entrails Community?

"Senior Neighbor." Wait, "neighbor"?

What kind of online community is this?

I just got the chills.

THE CHILLING TRUTH BEHIND THE ONLINE COMMUNITY?

There's a note here.

What in the world is this guy's deal?

I wanted to check out the water taxi.

WATER CALL TAXI

Is there anything suspicious about the water taxi?

-The water taxi has a navigation system. -Yes?

Let's see where it went recently.

Right here. "Hangang Bridge north-end drainage channel."

-Is that where we are? -"Hangang Bridge Dock."

"Seongsan Bridge."

I've always admired Mr. Hwang Billionaire as my role model.

Mr. Billionaire is my role model.

I visited his office not out of suspicion, but simply to catch a glimpse of his life.

Life is all about that one big score.

This man right here is the one I really respect.

CHO YO-SEP

What's this? Is someone drowning?

Why does he have a framed photo of someone drowning?

A MYSTERIOUS PHOTO

Look at that.

How cool.

"The wedding of the century."

The wedding of the century, huh?

"HEAVEN SENT GROUP'S HEIRESS MARRIES HANGANG RIVER'S HERO…"

This is my dream as well.

"A male Cinderella is born." That's it.

Life is all about that one big score, and he found his.

"Cheon Father-in-law."

His father-in-law gave him this book.

A New Year's card.

The father-in-law didn't mention anything about Mr. Billionaire.

AND…

THE FAMILY PHOTO

"Hwang Billionaire Vlogs." I'm really bad at these things.

Hwang Billionaire Vlogs…

So this is the kind of content he makes.

FROM CIVIL SERVANT TO CHAEBOL'S SON-IN-LAW?!

RAMYEON TASTES THE BEST AFTER BEING IN WATER

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! REAL-LIFE RESCUE BY HWANG BILLIONAIRE?!

"Monthly Performance Graph."

This report shows his achievements.

Apparently, Hwang Billionaire Vlogs are quite influential.

This must be what proves his value.

Hold on. He left his phone here.

HWANG BILLIONAIRE'S PHONE

What's this?

WIRE 200 MILLION BY MIDNIGHT OR I'LL MAKE IT PUBLIC

Now, this is amusing.

"Contract."

He signed a deal with Cha Contract, agreeing to a certain term.

"I agree to the appearance contract."

I found an envelope.

What am I looking at?

Seriously?

CONFIRMATION OF INSURANCE PAYOUT

What's this doing in this man's drawer?

My role model is looking quite suspicious now.

There's something strange about this guy.

-I'll search this house. -Go ahead.

I'll look through Park Kara's office.

I'm familiar with most people who are relatively wealthy.

But I didn't recognize the company when I got her business card earlier.

Ms. Park Kara.

She has money in a picture frame.

My goodness, even her cushion has money printed all over it.

She's obsessed with money even though she's already loaded.

YOUR MONEY IS MY MONEY MY MONEY IS MY MONEY

Is she from a family of haenyeos?

She must be from Jeju Island.

YOUNG PARK KARA

Could there be something under here?

There is something.

FROM CHO YO-SEP

I see she knew Yo-sep personally.

"You're invited to the VIP yacht party."

It's a bankbook.

One owned by Ms. Park Kara.

"Hangang River Yacht Party."

"Gamblers House"?

"Gamblers Finance."

Why is her balance at zero?

The money's all gone.

What's this?

"How to participate in the art auction."

Gambling?

Something smells fishy.

The trash can.

See? I knew it.

"High-stakes illegal gambling den raided."

"Greed laid bare."

Oh dear. She got busted.

"Kirakara Cream."

What's this?

"List of Problematic Employees."

Joo Dead-end. Wait, Joo Dead-end?

That name rings a bell.

Wait. It's Park So-yun.

"Filed a report to the Labor Office."

So Ms. Park So-yun worked here.

DID PARK SO-YUN WORK AT PARK KARA'S COMPANY?

KARA OKAY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

Park Kara.

This clearly looks suspicious.

Something's bound to be here.

What the heck?

Hold on.

Oh boy.

What's this?

"Marry Marry Zzong Zzong Zzong Dog Grooming Salon."

Ms. Marry said she and Yo-sep were in the same running crew.

Were they just running mates?

Is she not connected to Ms. Park So-yun as claimed?

That's what I'm here to find out.

"National Certification, An Marry."

She said earlier they were just running mates.

Were they close enough that she'd keep photos of them in an album?

What's this?

There's something here.

DATING TEST

"Subject: Marriage."

"Date we first met. January 2021."

They were having an affair. It was an affair for sure.

Were Cho Yo-sep and An Marry having an affair?

A wheelchair.

A WHEELCHAIR BY THE COUNTER

What's this?

"Noh Two Feet"?

Who's Noh Two Feet?

I think that's everything…

Wait, her phone.

AN MARRY'S PHONE

I got you now.

"You're actually divorcing her, right?"

"This better not be one of those lies married men tell."

"Of course. I just need a little time."

"Okay. We'll get married six months from now."

That was 8 p.m.

BIG HUBBY♥

He didn't pick up.

Ms. Marry.

A SMALL ROOM IN THE CORNER OF THE SALON

WOULD YOU MARRY ME? WEDDING CONTRACT

A wedding contract?

No way.

She was preparing to marry Big Hubby as in Cho Yo-sep?

Yo-sep was going to file for divorce.

Why does she have this? An Marry, this woman…

Hold on, what's this?

What the heck?

-Mr. Billionaire. -Yes?

You must leave.

-Your time is up. -Got it.

-Where are you taking me? To jail? -Are you guilty of something?

I'm not.

I did nothing wrong, but you're taking me somewhere.

Get moving, will you?

Of course. Mr. Billionaire, I see you're already here.

INITIAL EXAMINATION OF CRIME SCENE CONCLUDED

Kim Detective, the swagger detective here. Before we begin today's deduction…

Yes?

-Did you find a lot of evidence? -Yes?

Well, I may be jumping the gun,

but I know who the culprit is.

-Already? -Yes.

Since Ms. Kara claims to know who it was, let's have her kickstart the briefing.

-Hello, it's a pleasure. -Hi.

I'm Park Kara of the global cosmetics brand Kara Okay.

-Sure. -First of all…

She's still a mystery to me.

This was a murder, so we should start with the body.

I'm sure you all saw the abrasions on her forehead.

-Right. -Of course.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that the airbag was torn.

Is it not normal for an airbag to get torn in an accident?

-No. -I see.

Someone had deliberately cut it with a knife after the crash

to stage it as an accident.

Why didn't the airbag on the passenger's side go off?

-It didn't go off. -Exactly.

It depends on the car's settings,

but airbags don't go off when the seat belt isn't fastened

-in some cases. -The seat's registered as empty.

Also, this was far from a typical car accident.

Did you see the bloodstains on the front bumper?

There were bloodstains?

-There were. -On the bumper?

Yes, the front bumper.

Someone was run over by the car first.

Right.

If Ms. Park So-yun had died from being run over by the car,

-we would've found blood on her clothes. -That's true.

However, she only had abrasions on her forehead.

-That's right. -So someone else was run over.

There's another piece of evidence that backs up my claim.

-Did you see the skid marks? -Yes.

-The two sets. -Tire marks.

How's the weather today?

It's extremely foggy.

Whether intentional or not,

the car ran over someone and stopped.

That's when the first set was made. The car stopped and left straight lines.

The second set was made

when someone crashed into the guardrail to stage the accident.

That caused the second set of skid marks.

I believe that's how the curved skid marks were made.

-That's sharp. -My thoughts are based on the assumption

that the couple didn't get along.

Why do you think the couple had problems?

That's because the suitcase in the back seat

only carried a woman's belongings.

I assume she wanted to run away from him in secret.

They were more like housemates than a married couple.

There were two sets of bedding, dividing the bed in half.

That clearly shows they weren't on good terms.

The victim died on the 29th, a few hours past midnight.

Here's a quick note regarding the 28th.

The victim's husband, Cho Yo-sep,

-had the night shift. -Yes, the night shift.

He'd be tied up working the night shift.

What better time to run off?

DID SHE ATTEMPT TO RUN AWAY WHILE HE WORKED THE NIGHT SHIFT?

Given all the evidence, you might think the husband killed her.

-That's possible, right? -Exactly.

However,

I shifted my attention to Jang Buddy.

PARK KARA'S TARGET IS JANG BUDDY

Jang Buddy kept a yearly planner filled with women's names and times.

One with entries like "Ji-yun, 6 p.m."

-Are you talking about my planner? -Yes, your planner.

It had names and times. What else could they be but appointments?

-What's wrong with that? -But who has appointments

with dozens of women?

They were always with a different woman.

Don't tell me you're a player.

What did you do with them?

We ate together,

went to the movies,

just chatted,

and went for a drink.

-I'll ask you this one last thing. -Sure.

I found the Big Score Community on your laptop.

The circumstances suggest

that you met Cho Yo-sep through that online community.

If you go to "my comments,"

you'll see he commented on a post written by a user named "yo_sep."

Did you meet through the online community or were you already friends?

-Yo-sep's an old friend. -An old friend?

From high school.

He just happened to be a member of this community. I didn't know.

-So it was a coincidence? -That's right.

Moving on, I discovered Cho Yo-sep's secret.

It's a bit suspicious that it was found in Jang Buddy's room.

The envelope I found contained

a news article, a copy of a bankbook,

and a photo of the Hangang Bridge.

The news story was about Lee, a 32-year-old woman,

who died at the scene in a fire following a car crash

on the Hangang Bridge.

Her husband, Cho, scrambled out to safety,

barely managing to save his own life.

There also seems to be a photo that someone took of the Hangang Bridge

on October 4th.

The insurance money

from Heaven Sent Life Insurance was deposited into the bank account.

But the very next day,

it was wired out to Gamblers House.

Cho Yo-sep was a career con artist

who carried out insurance scams to fund his gambling habit.

And Jang Buddy

-was aware of this. -He knew?

Are you certain he committed insurance scams?

-Yes. -Really?

Yes, I'm sure.

It's not much of a shocking reveal. Don't be so dramatic.

-When did you find out? -You're good at English.

I only found out recently.

Why were those things in your possession?

You had all this information and did nothing?

Did you not bring it up to Cho Yo-sep or anything?

I didn't say a word.

Were you in on it together?

Of course not.

If I were to ask follow-up questions on this matter,

I would ask why he took out an insurance policy

with Heaven Sent Life Insurance and received a payout from them.

Was Jang Buddy working with Cho Yo-sep?

Or was he afraid that the victim, whom he had set up with Cho Yo-sep,

would become a target?

That concludes my briefing.

Goodness, Ms. Park Kara.

-She's a sharp one. -She terrifies me.

Ms. Park Kara.

It seems I should explain myself.

JANG BUDDY VOLUNTEERS TO GO NEXT

-Big Score Community. -Yes?

What do you all think about it?

Isn't it a community of people chasing a big win in life?

A community for scam artists.

I see it as an honest community.

What barking nonsense is that?

Even her dog Hubby wouldn't bark such nonsense.

We all want to change something in our lives, don't we?

-Sure. -This online community

allows you to be honest about your desires.

-You can be true to your desires, huh? -Right.

The story of Vice President Hwang is a dream scenario for the members there.

He quickly rose in social standing overnight.

I looked into Vice President Hwang not out of suspicion

but reverence, as he is our role model.

-"Reverence"? -Must you take it that far?

-You must watch a lot of TV. -I went to his office.

So, I went to his office,

and I was wondering what kind of books he'd read.

And there was a book on how to become more cultured

with an envelope inside it.

It contained a New Year's card

from his father-in-law, Chairman Cheon Father-in-law.

He wished his better half, his daughter, and even his puppy a good year,

but not his son-in-law.

Really?

Nothing.

This is what it means to be treated less than a dog.

Come on now.

-Did you have to say it like that? -I was just saying.

Sounds like you haven't won

-his approval yet, Mr. Billionaire. -I wonder why.

I wanted to keep that private,

but since you discovered the card, I'll tell you about it.

The photo at the front

-is from a family gathering. -Right.

You can clearly tell I was the only one who missed the dress code memo.

EVEN THE DOG DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION

He messed with you.

-As you know, -You're an outcast.

I was once part of the Water Rescue Team.

The chairman didn't think I was good enough for his daughter.

Chaebols tend to arrange marriages among themselves.

So giving me that book was his roundabout way

of insulting me for my lack of culture.

Backhanded insults are the worst.

How uncultured.

Moving on, this performance report was on your desk.

I saw that too.

Though you're far down the line of succession,

it looks like something might turn things around for you.

And that's your Hwang Billionaire Vlogs.

-Please subscribe. -Right.

Is it Hwang Billionaire or Hwang Like and Subscribe?

Subscribe, like, and turn on notifications.

He also has the public's support.

His popularity has skyrocketed.

Things couldn't be better for him right now.

Is it enough to attract the company's attention?

-I don't know about these things-- -He revamped the corporate image.

I don't know if it had been left there for people to see,

-but his phone was out in the open. -Oh, his phone.

-He was being blackmailed by someone. -Blackmailed?

There was a contract attached to the text.

According to it, one of the scenes in his vlogs was staged.

-It was rigged. -Yes, exactly.

This appearance contract is proof that the scene was staged.

-That'll cost him all his subscribers. -Oh dear.

-It was staged? -I only ask

-because I'm clueless about all this. -You're so done, Hwang Sham.

Will he be in such big trouble if people find out about this?

-He'll be done for! -It'll be over for him.

-It was all fake. -Will he be done for?

-People will feel betrayed. -He'll get divorced, thrown out,

and end up broke.

-Is he now Hwang Stager? -No, Hwang Sham.

-Hwang Sham. -This is very offensive.

Next. There's something else.

Park Kara, you said you found proof of insurance payout in my room.

A copy of the insurance payment slip was also in Vice President Hwang's office.

-What's this, Vice President Hwang? -A junior colleague of yours

had taken out insurance policies.

You knew he had claimed the insurance payouts

-after his wives' deaths. -That's right.

Did you say "wives"?

-Yes, his two former wives. -There were two?

And both of them died?

-Yes, and he collected two payouts. -What the heck?

There were photos too.

-Photos? -Photos of Yo-sep.

And there was a memo on the back.

It read, "blackmailer."

So, Cho Yo-sep was the one threatening to expose Mr. Billionaire?

Here's the thing, everyone.

This might not be related to Park So-yun's death in any way.

Clearly, he didn't have any issues with Park So-yun.

However, here's a possible scenario.

While he was attempting to kill Cho Yo-sep,

Park So-yun could've also somehow died along with him.

Or perhaps, only she died.

I think a short answer from him will be enough.

You knew, didn't you?

You knew Cho Yo-sep was the blackmailer, correct?

-I'm afraid so. -Okay.

Then let's go back to the victim.

Given what we have found out so far,

it's hard to suspect anyone as her killer.

However, I'm sure we'll find out more about Park So-yun along the way.

Next.

There was a photo of his family

and another one with his fellow rescue team colleagues.

Those speak for themselves.

But what's with this one? I'm dying to know.

It's of someone drowning and their hands reaching out of the water.

-They're flailing. -Who's this? Someone in need of rescue?

-This-- -Who takes a photo in that situation?

"Hold on. Let me take a photo first."

No, that's not it.

I make it a habit to look at those hands, reminding myself of my duty

and responsibility to save lives.

A staged rescue.

That's odd.

You'd better watch out for yourself.

Me? What about me?

I went to her room in her salon next.

-My salon? -I was so shocked. Forget everything else.

-There were divorce papers. -What?

Isn't she too young to be divorced?

There was a wedding contract as well.

What? A wedding contract between whom?

Between Cho Yo-sep…

-and An Marry. -Seriously?

You little minx.

-On March 22nd-- -I knew it.

-I told you it was a crime of passion. -Check this out.

The running crew was a cover for your affair.

An affair?

Please call it love.

-He had a wife, that's all. -I see.

He just happened to be married, huh?

But like I said, there were divorce papers.

It was a divorce between Cho Yo-sep

-And Park So-yun. -and Park So-yun.

The paper was crumpled up.

And get this.

The handwriting didn't seem like Yo-sep's.

Who filled it in? Marry Zzong Zzong, answer.

I filled it in.

-Was it a one-sided crush? -I mean…

-Are you his stalker? -No, it wasn't.

The two of us were in love,

and he was going to divorce her eventually.

-You didn't throw it out after the murder? -Of course not.

I filled it in for him,

but Yo-sep saw that and got mad.

Did you kill them thinking he wouldn't get a divorce?

Maybe we should start calling her An Home-wrecker.

-Oh, because he was married. -Mr. Billionaire's getting back at her

for calling him Hwang Sham.

Okay, then. Now, I'm guessing Mr. Billionaire

has a lot to say.

Or should I call you Mr. Hwang Sham?

I'm a bit of a perfectionist,

so I'd appreciate it if you could line up the photos straight.

They're all over the place.

PERFECTIONIST HWANG BILLIONAIRE'S BRIEFING

He's quite fussy, isn't he?

-You know what? -He's such a pain.

Blame it on our not-so-straight upbringing.

Like Ms. Kara…

-The photos are identical. -See? Leaders think alike.

-He takes good photos too. -They were shot from the same angle.

I'm telling you, great minds think alike.

Anyway, here's the windshield.

Strands of hair were caught in the cracks.

-They were there. -Look here, Mr. Neighbor.

It's a startling fact.

Just like Mr. Buddy,

I looked into Ms. Marry.

-Me? -I went through her drawers

and found two copies of a cringey dating test.

On that test,

Ms. Marry indicated that she wanted to get married as soon as possible.

But why was Cho Yo-sep

insisting that they wait at least six months?

Honestly, I don't know why.

I couldn't understand.

I checked the texts on her phone next.

Ms. Marry had been pushing him so they could get married soon.

Yo-sep, however, insisted on waiting six months,

which was suspicious.

-They disagreed on the timing. -Right.

Here's something else I found.

There was a wheelchair by the counter.

-There was a wheelchair? -That's right.

In the pocket was a name tag that read, "Noh Two Feet."

-Noh Two Feet? -Noh Two Feet?

Noh Two Feet. What could it mean?

-Noh Two Feet? -Can't walk on two feet?

-That may be it. -Excuse me, Detective. May I?

-For a bathroom break? -No.

I didn't exactly wait around for the perfect moment

to be in the same frame as Mr. Billionaire.

-Did it have to be right now? -Tell me about it.

-You're not doing yourself any favors. -Why do something that'll only hurt you?

-I've been holding something back. -Which is?

There was evidence under the carpet

that she'd hired Jang Private Investigator.

-Jang Private Investigator? -Is he still taking on jobs?

-The man still hasn't retired? -He's a legend

-in his field. -Jang Private Investigator.

Who is this person?

-A PI, but we haven't met him in person. -He's well-known.

He's been active for 12 years now.

All right.

There's a photo of Noh Two Feet, the person who was brought up just now.

Check it out.

-Is Noh Two Feet a person? -A photo of Park So-yun is in the middle.

To the left is a photo of Yo-sep.

Here's the important part.

Look right here.

It's the phrase, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Does this mean she took Noh Two Feet from you?

Ms. Marry?

First of all, Noh Two Feet

is my ex-boyfriend.

-So he was taken from her. -I used to

bring the wheelchair everywhere

because he had difficulty walking.

He couldn't walk, could he?

That's why I cared for him so much, pushing him around in his wheelchair.

-You were devoted to him. -I was a devoted girlfriend.

However, Two Feet

-had an affair with Park So-yun. -What?

So you approached Cho Yo-sep with an ulterior motive?

That's right. I wanted to get my revenge by stealing Yo-sep from her.

It's true I joined the running crew just to get closer to him.

But over time, I truly fell for him.

-Really? -Yes.

You approached him with an ulterior motive,

-but you ended up falling for him. -Yes, I fell in love with him.

-Your love for him was real. -That's right.

-Really? -Yes.

-Are you touched by this? -How touching.

-I mean that. -Is that so?

-So, how is Mr. Two Feet doing these days? -What?

-Mr. Two Feet. -Do you know how he's doing?

I have no idea how he's doing.

Is Mr. Two Feet's condition something he was born with?

Could this be a real-life version of Misery?

Maybe she traps every man she gets involved with.

-No, I don't think so. -Can we please stop talking about my ex?

Right now, Yo-sep's the only one for me.

-The love runs that deep, huh? -Yes.

-I can't tell how much of it is a lie. -I know.

This would be a good point

to move on to Ms. Kara.

That came out of nowhere.

-I looked into her as well. -Ms. Kara?

-Me? -Park Kara?

I found a VIP event invitation in her desk drawer.

Yo-sep had sent Ms. Kara an invitation to a VIP event.

Yes, he did invite me.

When I gave my seminar to the Water Rescue Team,

he was very friendly and said he'd invite me to an event.

Now that I think about it, he said he knew Mr. Billionaire well.

They said they were good friends.

As a businesswoman,

would it be a good thing or a bad thing to get to know Mr. Billionaire?

-A good thing for sure. -That's why I attended the party.

What kind of party was this?

It was a party to fulfill our duties as privileged members of society,

and there was an auction we could participate in.

As I kept looking,

I came across another printout that explained how the art auction worked.

When I read it,

I realized it was written in a code that reminded me of baccarat.

-Isn't this gambling? -Jeez.

I found evidence

that Cho Yo-sep and Park Kara were clearly tangled up financially.

I've never known anyone who got rich through gambling.

It looks like we need to dig deeper into Ms. Kara.

-Ms. Marry? -Sure.

Marry Zzong Zzong, did you go through my stuff?

First of all,

I noticed the back seat of the car was wet.

-Right. -I saw drops of water on the seat.

Since the incident occurred by the river,

the killer could've entered the car

after being in the water themselves or carrying something from the river.

While we're on the subject of water,

I'd like to ask if Ms. Kara is a good swimmer.

Can I swim?

-Can you swim? -Swimming's always been in my blood.

-It seemed that way. -How so?

-She was a former female diver, haenyeo. -Really?

PARK KARA, A HAENYEO?

-Where are you from? -I'm just saying since it came up.

But you know the popular TV series

-When Life Gives You Tangerines? -Sure.

I thought I was watching my life story.

I come from three generations of haenyeos.

-You come from a family of haenyeos? -Yes, apparently so.

If the water on the back seat came from the river,

it could've been a mark left by Ms. Kara since she's a skilled swimmer.

There's something you've forgotten.

-What's that? -Someone here used to be

on the Water Rescue Team.

Also, a certain water taxi operator is a certified lifeguard.

LIFEGUARD

Mr. Buddy also participated in the Hangang River-Crossing Contest.

One held at the Hangang Bridge, at that.

Then, swimming there must be a piece of cake for you.

-Add one more suspect to the list. -Listen.

-People my age enjoy such activities. -So, Detective.

Everyone but me is obviously a decent swimmer.

-That's true. -Please remember that.

Let's circle back to Ms. Kara.

I bet you all saw her seat cushion with the money print

and the 50,000-won bills kept in a picture frame.

I also noticed a sign as I was passing by that said,

"Your Money is My Money, My Money is My Money."

Your money is my money, and my money is my money.

-I suspect multi-level marketing. -It's nothing like that.

Let's talk about that shady MLM company of hers.

-What do you mean it's shady? -Take a look at the organizational chart.

-It's very questionable. -An MLM company?

Even the names of her employees sound suspicious.

There's even an employee named Pyramid.

What the heck?

Hold on.

IS SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART?

Oh boy. What's this?

What's all this?

She's one scary woman, isn't she?

You can see a lock here.

People appeared to have been confined.

The photos showed a work environment that definitely seemed unusual.

-The employees-- -They were confined?

Oh, come on. I think of them as family.

How does a mother teach her children?

She uses both the carrot and the stick.

We're one big family.

Don't you know the drama called Family by Choice?

-I heard it was very good. -Right.

The male lead is very handsome. Do you not know him?

-I don't believe I do. -I see.

Anyway, I was moved by that drama.

Though I'm not related to my employees, I consider them family.

Here's how cruel she is.

-She has a list of blacklisted employees. -What?

I checked their names

and came across one I recognized.

Ms. Park So-yun.

Ms. Kara fired her for filing a report to the Labor Office.

When we first gathered and introduced ourselves,

she was asked if she knew Park So-yun.

-She said she's only heard of her name. -Yes, that's what I said.

I never said that we were total strangers.

Also, Ms. Kara

-has no money in her bank account. -None?

Do you want to know who took the last of her money?

It was Gamblers House. And the amount?

-One billion won. -Jeez.

My goodness.

-What were you up to, Ms. Kara? -She's also into gambling.

As if you need to ask.

-What else would I have done there? -She played baccarat, of course.

What game would I have played?

-She had-- -You were given the wrong name.

-She had 45.6 billion won in her account. -What's wrong with Kara?

-I didn't just lose a billion won. -She's constantly been losing money.

-I've lost all my savings! -You lost 45.6 billion won?

The VIP event is how I first stepped foot into the world of gambling.

So getting invited to the VIP event got you into gambling?

Yes. My name suggests otherwise,

but I didn't even know how to play baccarat.

This wasn't her first time though.

She was caught at an illegal gambling den raid.

-There was an article. -Oh, she was arrested?

-Yes, she was arrested on-site. -I saw that too.

It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.

There's a familiar face in the photo in this article.

My beloved Yo-sep

was escaping the scene with stacks of money.

Yes, that bastard took it.

Please mind your words.

I was about to rake it all in--

-Did the police burst in then? -That's right.

Then, that bastard fled with the one billion.

You lost 45.6 billion won and ended up with a 1-billion debt.

That's impressive.

You're quite an impressive woman. Your MLM business must've been lucrative.

I could bounce back by keeping a few more employees confined… Oh dear.

Sorry about that.

Next, I looked into Mr. Buddy.

You're done with me now.

First, I checked Mr. Buddy's laptop.

He was in touch with both Yo-sep and So-yun.

It was an absolute pain being caught between them.

-Neither of them was fond of the other. -Exactly.

So Mr. Buddy advised both of them to bear with it.

-What else could I have said? -However, here's what's strange.

Yo-sep wrote,

"Why'd you set me up with a woman like her this time?"

"This time"?

Doesn't "this time" seem awfully suspicious?

If this had been Mr. Buddy's first time setting him up with someone,

he wouldn't have said that.

Well, he said he wanted to meet a woman,

so I set them up, and they hit it off.

-And before long, they got married. -Right.

That was with First Marriage.

-That was with First Marriage? -Yeah.

But then, something unfortunate happened to her.

After months of heartache,

he reached out and said he needed someone to lean on.

So I introduced him to Second Marriage.

-But she died. -They both died.

One died, and then the other.

Yet, you introduced another woman to him?

But his last text said

he was going to end it.

Which meant he was going to kill her.

I know nothing about that.

How could you be so oblivious when it happened twice?

-In that case-- -He's a career con artist too.

Mr. Buddy supplied Cho Yo-sep with women.

-Exactly. -After Cho Yo-sep got rid of them,

-they split the insurance payout. -Then they split the money.

Here's an unexpected side of Mr. Buddy.

In his lunch boxes,

he's been cherishing notes sent by a mystery lady.

"Now I understand why the lady only gave rice to her burly male servant."

Who made you lunch?

Who else? Just a woman I used to date.

Exactly, and I'd like us all to figure out who she was.

-Let's find out who she was. -Yes, please.

Thank you.

I'm not sure if someone like me

should even be speaking in front of such incredible people.

Gosh, he's so creepy.

Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

So…

Let's take a look at the crime scene.

I was able to piece together a story of what happened.

The driver was wearing a seat belt,

but Ms. Park So-yun, who was in the passenger seat, wasn't.

The car's passenger side was rammed into the guardrail.

But the airbag didn't go off, and she was thrown out of the windshield,

landing in the Hangang River.

After stepping out of the car,

the culprit made their way down to the river.

When they reached the river, they did something.

And whatever it was, they returned drenched.

Then, using the emergency hammer,

they smashed the windshield on the driver's side

to make it look like they had also been thrown out.

That's why the glass shards were on the inside.

With the box cutter found on the passenger seat floor,

they cut their seat belt

-and tore the airbag. -They tore it.

-To stage an accident? -Yes.

And then,

judging by the unlocked doors and the water on the seat,

they went to the back seat to do something.

Right.

It had to be staged as an accident

for the case to be closed as a simple car accident.

-Right. -Listen.

Cho Yo-sep got rid of First Marriage and Second Marriage

by staging accidents like this.

-That's right. -He killed them.

If that's the case,

I believe a third party was involved.

Someone who could've thought

they could take advantage of it to craft their perfect crime

and get away with it.

-After that-- -Then where could Cho Yo-sep have gone?

I told you already.

Why else would there be bloodstains on the front bumper?

-Right. -Whose blood do you think that is?

Cho Yo-sep's, of course.

He was hit by that car and killed off somewhere.

And so, I checked Cho Yo-sep's place.

In his garage,

-I found a bunch of license plates. -That's right.

There was also a ledger.

And for some time,

Cho Yo-sep has been changing license plates on foreign cars

parked in parking lots near the Hangang River for extended periods,

then selling them as unregistered vehicles.

How would you know that?

-There's a ledger. -What was on it?

-Hold on. -Yes?

-Mr. Buddy. -Yes?

I found similar license plates at your place as well.

-That's right. -Oh, please. Come on.

Cho Yo-sep and Jang Buddy were in on it together.

But at some point, Cho Yo-sep stopped splitting the profits

and kept all the money for himself.

-See? How am I the bad guy? -He drove a wedge between them.

-You're just a sucker. -It doesn't make you a good guy.

Now, let's turn to the Big Score Community.

Someone with the username "yo_sep" asked who was in for a big score.

The laptop's owner, Jang Buddy,

said he wanted in.

What if the big score he had in mind

was about sharing the life insurance payout

following the deaths of First Marriage and Second Marriage?

No, there's no need to investigate that. He meant selling used cars.

So the big score was about selling used cars?

-Yeah. -So it wasn't about an insurance scam?

I read a post written by someone with the username "small_park."

The Hanja character for "small" is "so." Isn't that Ms. Park So-yun?

COULD SMALL_PARK, THE USER JANG BUDDY RESPONDED TO, BE PARK SO-YUN?

I don't know what her username was,

but I did meet So-yun through the online community.

-Oh, you did? -Okay, fine.

You pointed out something important.

I have no reason to kill Park So-yun.

I had nothing against her.

The people who wanted So-yun out of the picture

were these two.

-Right? -Is that so?

I noticed you kept paper cranes someone gave you.

I unfolded them

and there were messages written on them.

Such as, "I thought you were upstanding, but you were far from it."

"You stole my heart."

They were all more or less crazy nonsense, but there was one that was notable.

"August 2, 2019, 6 p.m.,

the moment I fell in love"? It was something like that.

Let's go back to his planner.

The one that had countless notes about who he was meeting and when.

The last note was made on August 1, 2019.

Did he stop going on dates after meeting this mystery woman?

Since then,

-there are no records. -Because he met his last love?

She wasn't my last love.

She was my first.

-Who was she? -Okay?

Who was she?

-First Marriage or Second Marriage? -Who was she?

You can't say who she is?

Was she the one who wrote the notes in lunch boxes?

It's not that I can't say who she is.

-It's just that-- -Okay, fine. We'll find out for ourselves.

She's so precious to you that you can't tell us, huh?

Anyway, that's the deduction I made.

-Stop acting innocent and sit back down. -You people all scare me.

Unbelievable.

-All right, then. -Nicely done.

I guess I should reveal Mr. Neighbor's true identity.

-Can you hurry? I'm so frustrated. -It's about time I did.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Neighbor, you seem to live a rather eventful life.

Me?

Have you,

at any point,

formed a gang?

No way.

Me?

There's a note here.

What in the world is this guy's deal?

It's a photo of five people who seemed close.

What's interesting is that they all had stars on their foreheads.

Each of the five had stars numbered one through five,

with this man having five!

Mr. Neighbor had five stars on his forehead,

and he was standing in the middle looking all cool.

-His hairstyle was different too. -Somebody get that wig off him.

-Lift that fringe. -Was he in the Five-Star Gang?

REVEALING FOREHEAD

HE STILL HAS HIS STAR TATTOO

Those weren't just drawn on?

Is it a tattoo?

Oh, for goodness' sake.

This is hilarious.

I was trying to live a quiet life.

Fine!

Back in the day,

that was the life I led.

But now,

I have nothing to do with my old ways.

I'm just an ordinary man making an honest living.

I swear!

-But-- -Lord Detective.

-Yes? -I swear.

-Are you wearing a wig? -"Lord" Detective?

-No, it's my hair. -What year are you living in?

-Why call him a lord? -We went back 200 years.

Back in the day, I used to proudly flash my forehead…

with its glorious five stars,

but not anymore. I mean it.

Don't tell me you used to sell stone beds or something.

You see,

I go by Jang Neighbor now,

but my real name is…

Jang…

Yes?

Stone Bed.

You've got to be kidding me.

Park Kara is way better.

-I've been living an honest life. -While living an honest life,

you must've lived on the street at some point.

People rarely read newspapers now,

but you keep newspapers that could serve as a blanket.

You have a blanket and all the stuff homeless people carry around.

Also, Cho Yo-sep filed a complaint against you.

He claimed you were the reason the homeless lurked around the area

and complained of their stench.

He also claimed they went through his mail.

This guy actually broke into his house.

-Yo-sep's place? -He was caught breaking and entering.

The police summoned you for questioning on stalking charges and others, no?

You seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about me.

Five, to be precise!

You're just unbelievable.

This is all a misunderstanding.

Right, sure thing. Anyway, here's this.

I'm not sure if you're the moderator or a member of this community.

-A community? -At any rate,

it's called "Five Viscera and Six Entrails."

-It speaks for itself, no? -Five Viscera and Six Entrails?

-Exactly. -It's not what you think.

What would he do with people's fresh organs?

No, please. Don't say things like that.

Here's the gist of it.

Someone would post something like, "I have someone new. Hit me up."

The commenters would then say

they wired 35 million won or 25 million won.

Those are quite large sums.

It's more or less the amount you'd expect for the illegal sale of organs.

Here's more evidence to support my claim.

Eun Smuggler's business card. I suppose this person's a career smuggler.

How on earth did you find that?

Then there was his calendar. His business must've gone global.

-It mentioned Russia, Brazil, and others. -Yeah, "Brazil, three. Russia, five."

It said, "India, three," for tomorrow or the day after that.

Has your business gone global?

Here's the truth about Five Viscera and Six Entrails.

It's not what you think it is.

It's not connected to organ trading

or any other illegal activities.

-What is it, then? -Then what's it about?

Five Viscera and Six Entrails

is a support group for people who have nowhere else to go.

We encourage and support them as they discover their dreams

so that they can achieve them. We're like organs that keep them healthy.

How, exactly?

I would invite homeless people to my house,

let them shower, and cook them a meal.

-They all have dreams, you know. -Sure.

If their dream was to be a soccer player,

I'd help them go to Brazil.

Are you kidding me? As if we'd believe that.

It's true!

If they wanted to pursue ballet, I'd help them go to Russia.

But not in one piece, I presume.

No! It's not like that!

-Unbelievable. -I'm telling you the truth!

The commenters you mentioned earlier were kind people supporting our cause.

Sure.

And as for the smuggling, since they're homeless,

some of them aren't recognized as citizens by the official system anymore.

-Right. -We still go out of our way

to support their dreams,

-making all the arrangements -You expect us to believe that?

to help them leave the country.

It's true! Please believe me!

I'm telling the truth.

-Do you know whether they're alive or not? -That's why…

It's true.

Those who are now ballerinas and soccer players

left five-star reviews on our website!

It's true.

You have to believe me.

-I'm-- -Then name one of them.

Tell us how their dream came true.

You must be in touch with them.

I'll…

show you!

Show us what?

Right here, right now.

For five minutes.

One, two, three, four, five. For five minutes,

I'll show you the proof.

I'll show you, all right?

Please collect yourself.

-Right. Here you go. -Five Viscera and Six Entrails Community.

I'll show you this since you don't believe me.

Here's a homeless boy who went to Russia to pursue ballet

and made it big.

See?

There's a community chat room.

"Thanks to Jang Neighbor,

I got into the Moscow Homeless Ballet Company."

-Is this for real? -What have I been telling you?

Check out this young man who went to Brazil to become a soccer player.

Is the online community really just a support group?

-That's what I've been telling you! -Supporting the homeless and their dreams?

Yes, it is! Why else would I be so frustrated?

All right, fine. Let's applaud him and move on.

-All right. -Thank you.

However, there's more.

-I'm not done. -What?

I looked through your closet,

and I found women's clothes.

Expensive clothes, I might add.

Jhanel.

Noncler.

-The tags were still on. -That's right.

I found credit card receipts

in the pockets of those clothes,

-and they were signed by So-yun. -Was he stalking her?

He must've stolen them from her while stalking her.

The lady next door seemed to shop rather excessively.

She would throw out tons of clothes that were in perfect condition.

So I'd always collect them from the clothing donation bin,

thinking they'd be of use to the homeless.

-They still had tags on them. -I know!

And she threw them out? Clothes from Jhanel?

-Clothes from Noncler? -That's crazy.

-It's true! I'm not one to lie. -Okay, settle down.

How much of this should we believe?

-It's all true. -How does that make sense?

Because the couple complained about the homeless visiting my place,

I kept an eye on them whenever I could

to keep the noise down if they were around.

But they took photos and assumed the worst.

My house and Ms. So-yun's house

-look identical from the outside. -That's right.

A homeless person staying at my place

accidentally went into Ms. So-yun's house.

-A homeless person? -Yes, I got so startled,

and I went in after my guest to get them to leave with me.

But Ms. So-yun saw us, freaked out, and called the cops.

Oh, so that's why you were mistaken for a stalker?

That's right.

I'd believe you if it weren't for this.

I know. I'm having it removed though. It hurts like crazy.

-You're in the process of removing it. -Yes.

He turned out to be nicer than I expected.

And we'd have to trust him, right?

What's important right now

is that you have to vote for someone who you believe to be the culprit.

-Already? -Yes.

But I'm so confused right now.

What I know for certain is that the driver

wasn't Cho Yo-sep.

The killer drove the car.

The bloodstains on the front bumper

suggest someone other than Park So-yun was run over.

It had to be Cho Yo-sep.

In any case, the accident

was staged to deceive all others,

making it look like Cho Yo-sep was the one driving.

Only then will the police close the case as another insurance scam by Cho Yo-sep.

So, whoever staged this crime scene

had to have known that Cho Yo-sep

was killing his wives in fake accidents

for the insurance payouts.

Judging by what I've learned so far…

I have a hunch.

My first vote of the day goes to…

WHO DOES KIM DETECTIVE CURRENTLY THINK THE CULPRIT IS?

-Who did he vote for? -Yeah!

-Who did he vote for? -Yeah!

Right, Jang Buddy.

He does seem suspicious.

KIM DETECTIVE CHOSE JANG BUDDY

What does this case have to do with the insurance scam?

You people frustrate me.

Mr. Billionaire, you come second on my list of prime suspects.

Mr. Billionaire

also knew about Cho Yo-sep's past to a certain extent.

He knew Cho Yo-sep had collected life insurance payouts.

Well, as for now,

I think it's highly likely that it's Cho Yo-sep's blood

on the front bumper of the car.

But we need to find out where he is and whether he's dead or alive.

This is by far the toughest case we've faced so far.

All right, then.

Let's go figure out who did it!

Let's go.

Detective, you need to do better this time around.

-Guys, just trust me. -I don't think I can trust that detective.

THE SCENE OF THE CRIME WILL REVEAL THE CULPRIT

Detective, why don't we verify Neighbor's story first?

He's so fishy.

-It's one or the other with him. -What about me?

He's either the killer or a complete nutjob.

First of all, I want to highlight the importance of phones.

-That's right. -Earlier,

whose phones did we find apart from Mr. Billionaire's?

(MINE)

Let's take the time to check the phones belonging to the other suspects.

-What did he say? -"Give us your phone."

-We should see what's inside Hubby. -No way!

-Shouldn't we cut it open? -We should cut it open.

All right. Let's gather here.

-We'll check while we're together. -Let's check the phones.

-Whose is this? -Mine.

Oh jeez. Look at that photo.

-They're my homeless friends. -Wait.

"My saviors. I'll dedicate my life to them."

This could have a double meaning. We need to be smart.

Wait, there's a text.

"I'm so glad to be reunited with the people who saved me."

-What's this? -They were reunited?

Can I share a theory of mine?

Sure, go ahead.

Have you ever seen movies

where they use chickens to smuggle drugs?

Exactly. He sends people to Russia and such.

-Those people -He hid something in their bodies?

-are drug mules. -Oh, please.

-Come on. It's nothing like that. -What else is there?

His call log shows he talked to the Hangang Bridge Water Rescue Team.

-That's today. -Today.

-Why did you talk to them? -What was the call about?

I just called them.

-Who calls them without a reason? -It's the Water Rescue Team.

-Did you need rescuing? -No, I didn't.

There must've been a reason. This was also right before the incident.

Fine, I called them, okay?

I asked to speak to Cho Yo-sep.

-Why? -For what?

-Why? -I had something to tell him.

At 2:39 a.m.?

Many people jump off the Hangang Bridge

-to commit suicide. -That's true.

Jang Neighbor's the only one

who can save those people before the Water Rescue Team arrives.

By cruising around on his water taxi,

he can easily collect drowned victims to sell their organs on the black market.

So, he didn't transport people but collected bodies instead.

He could be recovering corpses.

Jeez. I said that wasn't it.

He's out there fishing for bodies.

Whose phone is this?

Whose phone is this?

Whoever it was called Park So-yun multiple times.

Whose is this?

Isn't it…

-Buddy's, right? -Buddy's.

There are multiple phone calls.

-They even talked yesterday. -Yesterday at 4:30 p.m.

-"Incoming call, Park So-yun." -From Park So-yun.

-She called him. -What reason did she have for calling you?

She wanted out.

She wanted out of the marriage.

Look at this. "I'm running away. You deal with it."

-On Sunday, March 28th, at 4:49 p.m. -I told her to bear with it.

He knew she was planning to run away.

Jang Buddy knew Park So-yun

was about to pack up and leave in a car.

It's suspicious for sure. Can we check his Agucci purse?

-Give me this! -Let's see what's inside.

Come on, you're jumping the gun.

-What's that? -What's in there?

A letter?

Wait, hang on.

-Is there anything else? -No.

The letter. That's most important.

Are you kidding me? Look at this.

Are you kidding me? Look at this.

What the heck?

Whose…

-That's the smoking gun. -Whose…

Whose sonogram is this?

Oh my gosh. Guys, don't be shocked.

I'll read this, so brace yourselves.

"To symbolize the time we spent together,

I gift you this watch."

"October 3, 2020."

You remember what happened then, right?

"Yours…

Second Marriage."

OCT 3, 2020, YOURS, SECOND MARRIAGE

…FRONT SEAT PASSENGER DIES IN FIRE

LIFE INSURANCE PAYOUT COLLECTED…
