"Goldo?" What's that?

(Previously)

A thief that specializes in stealing artifacts.

Doctor Ko works nationwide, and so does Skunk.

He appeared out of the blue about five years ago.

He stole over a hundred items,

and all we know of him so far is his smell.

- His smell? - Yes.

He's called Skunk...

because he leaves behind a weird smell.

Get him!

(Choi Song Chul History and Culture Research Lab)

He's a thief. This is nuts.

Gosh, seriously! Does this watch work well?

The TV, the vacuum cleaner, the washer, and even the fridge.

You got me everything I needed!

The door to the fourth-dimensional space opened.

Huin Dal? Cho Huin Dal?

He shoved people with a pen.

There was no bloodbath.

Kill people like that for a few brass coins with holes?

Brass coins?

Don't tell me you believe that story.

The treasure hunt your father told you about.

History...

begins with believing in what you can't see.

A new player must have joined the game.

That is one to note.

Hands up.

(Episode 3)

Chairman Yang's death.

Was it your doing?

Then what are you doing here?

Why are you here? There's nothing left to take.

Okay.

I sent so many gifts your way...

and this is how you treat me?

When sending a gift, shouldn't you...

identify yourself and explain what the gift is for?

If you don't appreciate the gift, you can always refuse it.

Who on earth are you?

Is that important?

You'll get something in the morning.

Share that with the press immediately.

There's a lot we must talk about.

How about we have a serious conversation?

Patrol will be here soon.

Wouldn't you mind?

Hey! Wait! Darn it.

Hey!

You fool!

Mr. Hwang, they want to see everyone.

Come on, Mr. Hwang.

(Hwang Dae Myung)

Mr. Hwang.

Mr. Hwang.

- Mr. Hwang! - What?

What is it? Where is everyone?

Is there a fire? Run.

There is no fire.

We're to watch the newsflash that's on TV right now.

You startled me.

What's the news about?

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency...

will soon start the press conference on Jikji.

Let's head to our reporter at the scene.

At 7:11am this morning,

our Intellectual Crimes' Cultural Heritage Team...

received the original copy of Jikji Volume One...

from an unknown member of the public.

(Cultural Heritage Administration)

The item we received...

was one of a pair that was published together,

and the National Library of France currently has Volume Two.

An emergency appraisal we had done confirmed it is the original.

It's in pretty good condition,

and a team of experts...

are carrying out a secondary appraisal.

We'll display the book as soon as that's done.

I don't believe this.

I'm in a good mood, so I'll treat you all.

Let's go out for dinner!

- How about Korean beef? - Deal.

The best grade there is.

Then beer and chicken, then karaoke.

I'll book everything.

Yes. We might as well go all the way!

- Yes, sir. - Let's have some fun!

I bet you all know...

how hard a time I had trying to find Jikji.

When there's a will, there's a way.

The heavens took pity on me...

and blessed me with good fortune, don't you think?

- What's he on about? - He didn't do anything.

Let's go.

What's wrong with everyone?

Should I have suggested we have raw fish?

This is incredible, isn't it?

You look so pleased.

I am. That's one huge tick off my workload.

Hey. You shouldn't curse people out with your eyes.

I'm your superior.

Don't do that.

What are you on about?

Those cameras you installed.

When will you return them? They're very expensive.

I'll go there tonight and collect them.

Oh, right.

You did such an incredible job at the scene.

Did you do fieldwork in the past?

Well, those of us on the support team...

just prepared equipment for the agents...

and gathered intel. Stuff like that, you know?

You watched the James Bond series, right?

Think of Q in the series.

Gosh, I have to say...

you've had such a dramatic life.

You got into KAIST early, at the age of 17.

Gosh, let go of me!

Where are you taking me?

You hacked the National Security Planning Agency for fun,

got caught, then was forced to join the agency at age 20.

After the Cold War, the agency abandoned you.

But you hit the jackpot with a stock you'd bought in the past...

and became super rich.

(Chun Lab Purchases National Security Planning Agency Site)

You patented your automated driving technology...

and electric vehicle battery technology...

Come on. What's the use?

I don't even have anyone to spend the money with.

Come on. It's not too late yet.

You look so young.

People would think that you're in your mid 50s.

Thanks.

I'm 49.

My apologies.

How could you...

It's fine.

I'll be understanding since I look so young.

All right. I want to show you the new equipment.

- Let's go. - Yes, ma'am!

What?

My gosh. I've never seen this before.

It's the new bulletproof suit.

What?

When we were robbing Choi Song Chul's house,

I thought you'd die. Do you know how worried I was?

Come on.

It's bulletproof and has motion control capabilities.

High elasticity, 100 percent fireproof.

Equipped with an automatic temperature control system.

Automatic temperature control?

So I don't have to wear long johns in winter?

Of course.

And you no longer have to use ice packs in summer!

That is so amazing!

Amazing!

My, you're like a totally different person...

when you don't have the suit on.

Well...

I have to conceal my identity, you know.

I just immerse myself...

in the situations as they come up.

Maybe you're too immersed.

By any chance,

do you get a kick out of annoying others?

From time to time,

I feel like I don't know...

who I really am.

All of a sudden?

This is my calling, so I want to do this for a long time...

without getting caught.

Right, I'm sure.

Gosh, why did I even ask you such a question? Silly me.

Gosh, no.

You're my mighty supporter and an amazing partner.

You don't hesitate...

to spend ten million dollars for the sake of justice.

Ten million is chump change.

Then why won't you buy the artifact at the auction?

It's only a million dollars.

Come on. That's boring.

Then I could just buy Jikji for 100 million dollars too.

I told you.

I don't know much about cultural artifacts,

and I'm not exactly a patriot.

You also said you didn't want the bad guys to take even a penny.

Right.

When I help you do these things,

I'm reminded of the old days.

It's very exciting and fun.

That's why I do this.

I will...

make sure you can keep enjoying this excitement,

so don't you worry.

Oh, right!

What happened with him?

You said he disappeared without a trace.

No! Wait. Just one moment.

Believe me. I am telling you the truth.

Just give me one week. I can pay you back in full.

For real! I swear!

How will you pay me back when you've lost everything?

You see, there are a few things that I hid in a safe place.

No one knows about them.

They're extremely valuable. Don't you worry.

Don't worry! Be happy!

You're such a clown. Hey, take him to the slaughterhouse.

Gosh, no.

No, don't!

Don't. Please don't.

No, please... I beg you. Please?

All right.

Mr. Choi, are you hiding diamonds in your heart?

What about your kidneys?

Let's cut you open and find out.

No. Don't!

No!

No!

Gosh, this woman. What now?

Darn, what do I do?

You see, it's all over now.

Why do you want to go back to Mr. Choi's house?

You knew everything. That Choi Song Chul had Jikji.

We were mistaken.

You said an anonymous civilian brought it.

Am I wrong?

You're right.

Then what's with you?

There's something I really want to ask him.

Just help me meet him.

Gosh, whatever. I don't know.

Just drop me off over there.

Well, I should submit a tip to the Cultural Heritage Administration.

That an officer keeps writing off personal expenses...

and napping during his working hours.

My, you're one scary woman.

Shall I pull over?

(Choi Song Chul History and Culture Research Lab)

(Choi Song Chul History and Culture Research Lab)

Well, it doesn't look like he's here now.

Shall we just get going?

Let's just go back.

Oh, that?

Those are ultra-high voltage lines.

They can melt most nonconductors.

I see.

Well...

But how do you know that so well?

Mr. Choi told me about it a while back...

and bragged about it.

I see.

What...

What are you going to do?

Hey, wait.

(Choi Song Chul History and Culture Research Lab)

Hello? Anyone inside?

Wait.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Let's get out of here.

You get out first.

It's dangerous to be here.

Darn it. What is going on?

Hey!

Seriously.

Hey!

I told you to wait outside.

I'd be more scared if I were waiting alone.

Then follow me quietly without distracting me.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey! Keep your distance, will you?

Okay, I will.

Oh, why are you checking the inkstone?

This...

It looks like someone used this earlier.

In a rush.

You see, Mr. Choi...

is a tough guy.

But if he wasn't going to use the ink,

why did he grind the inkstone like this?

To de-stress?

Gosh, let's just get out of here.

Wait.

There's definitely something here.

But there's nothing here!

Darn it.

What are you doing?

Gosh. I think it might rain,

judging by how sore my joints are.

But aren't you...

invading private property,

breaking and entering,

and conducting an illegal search?

I'm right.

Those are grounds for serious disciplinary action.

Maybe I should file a report with the police agency.

- Mr. Hwang Dae Myung. - What is it, Ms. Choi Min Woo?

But...

Just tell me already.

The Jikji wasn't handed in by someone, was it?

Right?

That's right.

The captain did say I should tell you everything.

As in what?

The Jikji...

was given to us by a thief who stole it from this residence.

What?

And who is this thief?

Skunk.

Skunk...

Skunk?

As in the animal that resembles a weasel?

The one that farts?

If you ask me,

I'd call this person a black panther.

Dressed in black and nimble...

It's Skunk. He obviously stinks.

Whatever.

Anyway, for five years now, this person has stolen...

over 100 illegally owned cultural assets?

- The cream of the crop? - That's right.

And he sent them all to the Cultural Heritage Team?

That's right.

That doesn't sound like a thief to me.

He is a thief.

He broke the law which is why we're after him.

Sure, whatever you say.

Anyway, why are you telling me all this?

Because most of the items Skunk stole...

are on the list you once drafted.

Gosh, what a coincidence.

We'd appreciate the help.

- With what? - Capturing Skunk.

But there's nothing I can do to help.

There will be, so don't worry.

We'd appreciate it.

But I'm busy as is.

- Will I be paid for my service? - What?

Right. I'll ask.

You've got to be kidding me.

Skunk? Darn it.

(Retrieval of Cultural Assets Illegally Owned by Those of Power)

Hwang Dae Myung has always been your prime suspect.

It's why you had me team up with him...

by using the Jikji as an excuse.

What the...

- You passed the first test. - What's that, though?

It doesn't look like a cultural asset.

Most of the assets here are on this list.

So you're assuming that Hwang Dae Myung...

handed this list to Skunk.

Something like that, right?

I wonder why he handed it over, though.

Could they be working together?

What a joke.

No way.

If you're right about his involvement,

he probably would've sold it for money.

Anyway, if the captain is right,

Hwang Dae Myung will know Skunk well.

Probably.

Let's just beat the answer out of Hwang.

Do what? Gosh.

We don't know for certain yet,

so doing that could ruin our plan which is to use Hwang Dae Myung...

to get to Skunk.

The one we're after is Skunk, not Hwang Dae Myung.

This could lead to your capture.

It's nothing unexpected.

Having Inspector Jang suspecting me, that is.

What now? Should we lay low?

We're going to stick to what we've been doing...

because Hwang Dae Myung will run interference for us.

What? My gosh.

Are you here as Skunk, then?

Don't call me that.

Why not? I like the moniker. It rolls off your tongue.

Is calling me Skunk the best they could do?

Here. Let me show you something.

The name Skunk inspired me...

to come up with this feature.

What on earth is that?

Knockout gas. Sick, isn't it?

There's also a guide on how to emit smoke.

Come on. There's really no need for that.

Seriously?

You...

Chun Ja, you're a genius.

The Celadon Vase with Inlaid Flower and Crane Design...

on display at the Dobong Art Gallery...

will be auctioned off at the Seoul antique auction.

Reporter Lee Han Ki delivers the shocking news.

The Celadon Vase with Inlaid Flower and Crane Design...

is a vase of a national treasure status...

that was made in the 12th century.

The vase disappeared during the Japanese colonial era...

and had been missing for decades.

However, heads turned when the Mugung Art Gallery...

showcased it to the world ten years ago.

The government fought...

the art gallery over its ownership...

in order to have it returned to the nation.

However, the court ruled in favor of the art gallery.

Many attempts were made to purchase the vase,

but the art gallery declined,

and now it will be auctioned off.

Voices of criticism are only getting louder,

but the host organization...

will push forward with the auction since it is legally sanctioned.

Director Kim Young Soo of the Mugung Art Gallery...

was appointed as a prosecutor after the liberation...

and held seats in power positions during the military dictatorship...

as an assemblyman, Director of the NSP,

Minister of Infrastructure, and others.

After leaving politics, he has been running...

the Mugunghwa Foundation and the Mugung Art Gallery.

Only after his retirement from politics,

his family was revealed to be pro-Japanese,

and there has been constant talk...

regarding the cultural assets he owned...

to have been stolen during the Japanese colonial era...

For breakfast tomorrow, serve fotiaogiang soup,

steamed brown rice, and green plum juice.

Twenty minutes after breakfast, 300ml of gamro tea will be served.

- Make sure it's 38°C. - Yes, ma'am.

Exfoliation, hair removal, clipping of nails,

a hair mask, and coloring of the hair.

He will receive his facial...

when he comes home in the evening.

Sure.

For his outing, he will wear a black suit, a gray shirt,

and a paisley-patterned navy necktie.

(3rd generation heir of Geoseong Group)

(Jo Chang Kyu)

Sir, why aren't you eating?

The food here is divine. Have some.

Well,

my stomach isn't all that pleasant.

Gosh.

You should be careful of that in old age.

Death may be imminent,

so it's best to leave on a full stomach. Right?

Anyway, for what reason...

did you ask to see me?

Right. Well...

I'll cut right to the chase.

You will no longer work with Geoseong Group.

Having a retired politician of the old order fussing about...

isn't a good look for the company.

Geoseong Group.

When the former chairman was still alive,

I looked out for the company...

I know that.

When you were in the field,

you backed up my grandpa and dad.

But...

what do you have now?

You used to drop a flying bird with one word,

and one cough from you was enough to move the president.

That's ancient history.

You had too much to drink.

I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that.

Darn you.

What idiot...

takes blood from a corpse...

or waters a dead plant?

Listen.

Are you going to live forever?

Did you find the plant of eternal youth?

Move to a place with crisp air and grow some orchids.

Why do you want to join the boys?

You can't keep up.

Chief Prosecutor Jin is abroad on business,

and Supreme Court Justice Han won't pick up.

Minister Min and Assemblyman Choi are unwell,

and the presidential secretary is too busy.

The jerks.

How much funds do we have left?

Not much, sir.

What about the auction?

Notable people from worldwide will attend.

Our item is gathering much interest.

It should sell for much more than we expect.

Can you pull it off?

Nice.

Oh, gosh. Well done.

Yes.

It's madness.

People are calling to complain the Flower and Crane's up for sale.

They're asking...

why a collector has a national treasure.

It was the Supreme Court's decision, not ours.

Okay. I'm busy. Bye.

Yes.

Mr. Hwang!

The director wants to see you.

Tell him I'm out on business.

What? Where are you going?

Hello, sir.

We haven't met in a while, Mr. Hwang.

I heard you were our best employee.

Me?

He's our ace.

Then you take on the case.

What case, sir?

The Flower and Crane vase.

Find the owner and stop him from auctioning it off.

We'll be ruined if it gets sold.

How can I do that?

Do as you're told.

Ten million dollars.

I'll give you an emergency budget.

Be sure to get it before the auction.

Mr. Hwang.

Yes, sir.

Is there nothing we can do?

The legal owner wants to sell it by a legal method.

What could we do?

Do you think Skunk will steal it for us?

Do you want him to?

- Well... - Come on.

Wouldn't that be better than losing it?

It's a different game this time.

The auction house will have private security besides the cops.

Even if Skunk were to steal it for us,

we'll have to return it.

The court named the legal owner and that won't change.

Got it, sir.

I'll come over as soon as I'm done here.

Okay.

(Evidence 5, Evidence 4, Evidence 9)

(Evidence 1)

That's all from the Blue House.

- Let's see. - We'll move on.

At 2am this morning, Geoseong Group President Jo Chang Kyu...

was found dead in his car in an empty lot...

in Gyeonggi Province.

The pathetic fool...

Police found a large quantity of drugs and alcohol on the scene,

as well as weapons and charcoal briquette.

They found no signs of anyone else.

Oh, dear. I feel so sorry for the boy.

He had an advantage in the fight to take over the company,

but he was rumored to be involved in...

violence, drugs, and sexual assault.

The poor kid crossed over before me.

What a pity.

Three years ago, a drug charge...

What a shame.

It's such a dreadful incident.

Oh, well. I guess...

you had it coming.

You.

Well done.

You must be busy with other stuff.

While you're here,

why not attend the auction tomorrow?

I'd feel much safer with you next to me.

Yes, sir.

Director.

Yes?

Is Hwa Yeon...

doing well?

Yes, of course.

Don't worry.

She's living a life fit for a princess.

Hello.

- Oh, hello. - Hi.

Hey.

What? Captain.

What are you doing here?

I felt like having a drink. What about you?

Wouldn't that be why I'm here too?

Are we telepathic?

Cheers.

You can hold your drink.

You pass.

I like everything about you.

I'm glad I poached you from Violent Crimes.

You didn't poach me.

I was a disaster that no team wanted.

What are you on about?

I begged your captain and the chief...

to let me have you.

You have passion and tenacity.

You're a smart investigator too.

Saying that is making me cringe, so anyway,

I stole you because I didn't want anyone else to have you.

What?

Are you upset?

No.

I'm so happy to be on board a ship with a great captain.

You're...

not yet on my ship.

What?

Earlier,

the Flower and Crane vase.

You said you wished Skunk would steal it for us.

Did you mean that?

Well...

You can be honest.

Yes. I was a hundred percent serious.

I even thought I'd want to...

help Skunk steal everything.

Then...

you must wonder why I'm so desperate...

to catch him.

- Yes. - I'm not...

trying to arrest Skunk.

I want to...

cast the guy.

"Cast him?"

Do you know what the first thing I did was when I came here?

No.

I was to create a legal version of Skunk.

But...

I soon realized that would never happen in this country.

As soon as he appeared,

I knew he was doing what I wanted to do.

No one knows how many artifacts were stolen or hidden away.

Everything that Skunk stole...

is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are many items...

not even he can steal on his own.

I'll be the one...

to get those.

With Skunk.

Gosh.

I just sobered up.

How about it?

Do you still want to board my ship?

You know so much about history and artifacts,

and you're a skilled investigator.

On top of that, you have superb leadership skills.

And you're a good judge of character, Captain.

Let's set sail.

I'm already on board.

All right!

Oh, right. I shouldn't tell Senior Officer Shin, right?

Oh, him. He's already on board too.

Speaking of which, I should call Chang Hoon.

Hello! It's me, Chang Hoon.

- Hi! Good to see you. - I heard the skate was very fresh.

Look at that. Speak of the devil.

What?

What are you two doing here?

- None of your business. Join us. - Take a seat.

Gosh, this must be it.

Workplace...

bullying.

- What? - No, not at all.

My gosh. You two said you'd go home and rest up.

I can't believe you came here to drink without me.

Hey, it's not like we excluded you on purpose.

- Sorry. - My, I've been wasting my life!

You're at it again, all of a sudden?

What? But...

- Clearly, he's not normal. - Right.

Goodness. I have to work with you weirdos.

You

Why are you coming out of there?

Why are you coming out of there?

I believed in love

But got stabbed in the back

Yes, you - You

Why are you coming out of there?

All right!

Please allow me to introduce our VIPs who are here today!

Mr. Min Hak Soo from the Cultural Heritage Administration!

(Min Hak Soo, Cultural Heritage Administration)

From the National Assembly's Cultural Heritage Committee,

we have Mr. Joo Hwi Kwan and Mr. Lee Chang Soo!

And from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism,

we have Mr. Kim Yong Seok!

Last but not least,

the Hwatong Construction heir. Young Master Baek Yul Ho...

I mean, CEO Baek Yul Ho is here too!

(Baek Yul Ho, CEO of Hwatong Construction)

All right. Allow me to tell you a little bit about him.

In the middle of the protected historic area of Gyeongju,

he will build an apartment building.

He obtained a permit to build a commercial-residential complex.

This man is incredibly competent!

Give him a big hand!

Make some noise!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

That was fun.

All right. We should talk about the important stuff.

- All right. - Oh, let me pour you one.

Mr. Baek wants to talk about the important stuff.

Right, so we should drink...

Well, we should go relieve ourselves.

- Oh, okay. - We'll leave you to talk.

- Mr. Min, let's get some air. - Okay.

- Wait, hold on. - Yes.

Let's go.

All right. Soon, we can meet up at our palace.

It looks amazing with the new interior design.

How much will we get, per person?

Well, I'd say about 20 million dollars at the very least?

I'll find out more tomorrow...

when I'm attending the international auction tomorrow.

- Okay. - I'll find out how much it's worth.

Okay!

Oh, right.

Mr. Min doesn't know about this, right?

Come on. He just buys us drinks...

and cleans up after us.

But what if we have problems?

Gosh. You worry too much, Mr. Lee.

Well, from the police...

to all the judges...

and prosecutors,

I bribed everyone and won them over long ago.

Mr. Baek, you never disappoint us. You sure know how to do business!

- All right. Let's drink! - Yes, sounds good.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Gosh, sir. Thank you for everything today!

Hey, how could you be so much fun without a single drop of alcohol?

Well, I know how to have fun.

I'm drunk. This is hard.

But to secure enough budget and get sponsorship,

we have no choice.

Dae Myung, you're the only one who understands me.

But you see, thanks to the people you get to meet through me,

you have a bright future ahead of you.

So you'd better thank me.

Yes, sir. My loyalty is with you.

- All right. I'm off. - Yes, get home safely.

Oh, right. We're going golfing this Sunday. Get ready.

The assemblymen will be there too.

- Yes, sir! Get home safely. - All right.

Bye!

Min Woo, go to the hotel and keep an eye on Hwang Dae Myung.

If Skunk shows up there too,

we know for a fact that Skunk and Hwang are in it together.

Where is Hwang Dae Myung?

Yes, thanks.

You're here too.

- All right. - My gosh, sir.

Hello, Mr. Baek.

- You've been well, right? - Yes.

- How have you been? - Good.

My gosh, sir.

You look younger by the day.

Oh, please.

I hope your piece receives the highest price ever...

in this auction.

I'm rooting for you, sir.

Thank you.

Anyway, Mr. Baek.

Have you always been interested in antiques?

Oh.

I wish to cultivate an interest in antiques from now on.

(Jukhyeon Gate)

Oh, Mr. Baek!

What?

I didn't expect to see you here.

Mr. Hwang. Did you get home safely last night?

Yes, of course. Anyway, what brings you here?

What?

Oh, I'm visiting Seoul anyway, and I had some spare time.

I see.

I'm here for work.

I also wanted to meet the great Chairman Kim Young Soo.

All right. Take it easy.

- I'll be off then, sir. - All right.

Let's go.

Gosh, how embarrassing.

It's a huge honor to meet you, sir.

I'm from the Cultural Heritage Administration.

Officer Hwang Dae Myung, sir.

It's fine.

I already responded to your official request.

I said I did not want or need to meet you.

And I will not...

accept things like that from you.

Pardon me?

Oh, this. This is not for you, sir.

Is that so?

Chairman Wang!

Chairman Wang!

Please excuse me. I've got to go. Have a good day!

Sorry about that. I apologize.

Chairman Wang!

He owns the biggest distribution company in China.

He is Chairman Wang In Chul.

He's Korean-Chinese.

He's a successful entrepreneur in China.

- You always... - He's also a world-renowned...

collector of old books and antiques.

Come on. Let's not talk here.

We should talk in my office.

You said you wanted to talk to me about something important.

Yes, sir. Let's go.

- You haven't changed one bit, sir. - What?

Did you eat the eternal youth plant or something?

"Eternal youth plant?"

This is amazing.

This must be why people wish to stay in suites.

No way.

This is too good to be true.

Anyone who participates in the auction...

are given suites to stay in.

How much are they being paid to provide such a service?

Mr. Hwang.

- Yes? - Could you not be...

all over the place,

and sit here?

Is this also for free?

Dae Myung, are you sure we'll win the auction?

Of course. I already laid out the foundation.

What do you mean?

Let's be honest here.

You can't deny that most of the buyers...

are here for the Rembrandt.

So?

Only Chairman Wang...

would purchase the vase for ten million dollars,

and I already talked to him.

What did you say?

That we only have ten million dollars,

and he should cut us some slack.

What the...

Are you kidding me?

That's like announcing how many bullets we have...

on a battlefield.

Gosh, no. Chairman Wang is like my brother.

(Brother: male sibling)

Don't you remember our trip to the Ministry of Tourism in China?

I taught them Korea's team dinner culture.

Chairman Wang and everyone else had a blast.

After that, I was invited back on weekends,

and I went to China...

to be the life of the party at Chairman Wang's team dinners.

Anyway, he will grant anything I request,

so don't worry.

The highest bid for the Rembrandt...

is currently at 7.5 million dollars.

He isn't interested in the vase...

which is why he's on a shopping spree.

The next item is the one on my right.

made in the 12th century during the Goryeo Dynasty.

Good job, everyone.

You lucky old man.

What the...

- What are you doing here? - What?

I asked why you were here.

Well, I...

The elevator was full.

Hand me that.

Why?

Hand it over.

I don't want to.

Would you rather get roughed up?

As if that would scare me.

Well...

Aren't I allowed to take that?

Am I not?

No?

(Ha Jung)

I took the bathrobe without thinking.

I was going to return it.

Take it.

Can I go, then?

Sure.

Captain. I think you're sorely mistaken.

Hwang Dae Myung's...

just a weirdo.

Let's keep an eye on him for now.

Okay. Are we done here, then?

Yes. I'm sure Skunk knows too...

he can't do anything...

even if he were to steal it.

Got it.

The doors are opening.

Where are you?

Did it work?

You were incredible.

I was so nervous.

We had such a great plan, didn't we?

Can Chairman Wang be trusted?

Not at all.

Then why tell him your budget?

To make sure he leaves just enough to beat me...

and spend the rest on other stuff.

- What do you mean? - You said...

you didn't have much cash.

I don't. I can get about 20 million dollars max.

Oh, now I get it.

Okay, point taken.

I won't see you again if I don't get my money back.

Don't you worry.

What's our motto?

We won't give...

- the bad guys even one cent. - The bad guys even one cent.

- Yes! - Yes!

Are you where I told you to be?

That's the only spot.

It's the only route...

that a car can take that isn't monitored by cameras.

Once it's in Mugung's secret vault,

we can never get it, okay?

Dae Myung?

Hello?

I'm ready.

Okay.

I can tell by the tone.

All right then. Can I...

enjoy myself now?

Cheers.

Who's that punk?

Take him down.

(Special thanks to Jung Eun Pyo.)

(Stealer: The Treasure Keeper)

I will confiscate everything here.

And tonight,

I'll beat you up within inches of your life.

Those protected by law...

require the beating of an outlaw.

That everyone's fate has a set time.

It was all true.

Set off right now!

Dae Myung, we know you're Skunk's secret helper.

- Darn you. - Who is Skunk?

It's me.

That skunk.
