MISS NIGHT AND DAY

Hold on.

Be careful.

You don't have to do all this.

From what I've seen, this is what couples seem to do.

Couples?

What?

Are you going to pretend that kiss didn't happen?

We kissed twice too.

Quiet!

Be quiet. My parents are going to hear.

- It has to be a secret? - Of course.

Until when?

Well…

Until I return to my normal self.

Well… when things get better.

Is it because you're worried about how things are now?

Yes, and for other reasons too.

Remember before when you asked me to keep my promise?

I'll keep that promise.

I'll protect you no matter what.

So put a little more trust in me, even if you're worried.

Okay.

I'm home.

What? What was the reason today?

- What? - I heard the car pull up.

- Didn't you come with Mr. Gye? - You heard that?

Of course. I have perfect hearing.

Well…

He just gave me a ride.

What is he, a chauffeur? That's all he did?

- Yeah. - And nothing else?

What else could there be?

Dad.

Yeah?

Where have you been?

I was out getting some doenjang.

When did you go out?

Well…

You came in Mr. Gye's car,

he opened the door for you, you got out, and…

Couples?

What?

Are you going to pretend that kiss didn't happen?

We kissed twice too.

Be quiet. My parents are going to hear.

I'll protect you no matter what.

So put a little more trust in me.

- Then, you two... - Dad!

It's cold outside.

Why would you go out to get doenjang?

You don't need any soy sauce or gochujang?

From now on, I'll go out and get them for you,

so don't roam around alone at night, eavesdropping on people.

And don't reveal what you heard. Got it?

Seriously, Dad. Something awful could happen.

- Okay? - Yeah.

Be careful not to catch a cold.

DO NOT OPEN OPEN IT DURING THE DAY AND I'LL RUN AWAY

I'll keep that promise.

I'll protect you no matter what.

So put a little more trust in me, even if you're worried.

There's something going on.

Chills run down my spine.

Her stare pierces right through me.

There's no need to be worried already.

The hand is quicker than the eye.

Does it need more doenjang? It's a bit bland.

Freeze.

Come on. Out with it.

Now!

You still won't talk?

What do I do?

- Still? - Dad, I'm sorry.

SEOHAN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Did you enjoy your lunch?

Yes. What about you?

Hearts, pew pew!

Gosh.

It would've been much better if we had lunch together.

My goodness.

You should've called. I would've come running.

It can happen.

I get it. If work becomes too hard,

people can lose their minds.

But why am I the only one who's working?

What happened with the NIMS review from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety?

It was done ages ago. I put it on your desk.

And the records of Hwadong's fentanyl usage?

Why are you asking me?

Wasn't Ms. Lim supposed to prepare that?

- That's right! - "That's right"?

I'll get it ready quick and send it to you.

No, you can take your time.

Did something good happen today?

No. What about you?

No, well… It's nothing.

The weather's so nice today.

Isn't it nice?

I'm glad I brought an umbrella.

Why do you keep avoiding me?

Who, me? I've just been so busy. That's all.

Is it because I said I liked you?

Hey.

- Let's talk outside. - Why? Wait, I…

No, wait.

What I said that night…

Gosh. What?

It seems you didn't understand since I wasn't straightforward that night.

To be honest, there's someone else I like.

I know.

You do?

It doesn't matter.

Well, okay.

So you're moving on, right?

Why would a star like you be interested in someone like me?

I have no intentions of that.

Then, what will you do?

What? I'm not asking you for anything.

But…

It makes me uncomfortable.

It makes me really uncomfortable whenever I bump into you like this.

- That's good. - What?

That's exactly what I wanted.

I didn't tell you to have you like me back.

I wanted you to know how I felt.

That way, you'll continue to be uncomfortable just like now.

You'd at least become attracted.

Hey!

What?

Did you just laugh?

What's with you?

You're so cute.

Seriously?

There's no use talking to you.

I'm not joking.

So stop avoiding me.

And my feelings.

It looks like it'll be another all-nighter.

Let's eat something good. I'll buy.

Did something good happen?

Not really.

Then, why have you been smiling all day?

No, I haven't.

Did you take any drugs by mistake while investigating?

Goodness.

Should I eat alone?

He didn't really take anything, did he?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Why aren't you eating? I ordered the special for you.

You don't like this kind of food, especially gukbap.

I realized that when it comes to food,

who you eat it with and how you eat it are more important than taste.

So you're saying ox knee soup is food for the soul?

Since when?

You're laughing again.

What's gotten into you? Can you please tell me?

I have so many documents to review.

I might not be able to stop by.

Aren't you pushing yourself too hard?

We're sitting together, but why do I feel so lonely?

I'm having ox knee soup, so I'm fine.

MESSAGES: IF YOU REORDER TODAY… LOG IN NOW TO CLAIM YOUR ITEM

Make sure to eat dinner.

I'll call you later.

Ox knee soup won't be enough. He should have boiled beef too.

I want to hear his voice.

Where's my phone?

Where is it?

Wait.

Wait, when did I last see my phone?

Wait. Think.

I last saw it at the prosecutors' office.

Isn't that Ms. Lim's phone?

Should I pick up?

- Hello? - Hey, Mi-jin. Are you asleep?

- Hello? - Isn't this Mi-jin's phone?

This is Lim Sun's phone.

I'm sorry.

- What was that? - What is it?

This is Ms. Lim's phone, but they asked for Mi-jin.

That's weird. I should call her.

No way…

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO

What's going on?

Wait.

No way.

Mi-jin is Lim Sun?

No!

I hope they're still eating.

Wait.

Go in first. I'll get some coffee.

Just drink some instant coffee.

I need more caffeine to work all night.

Dessert's on me.

Don't buy anything weird.

SEOHAN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

The number you've dialed is unavailable. Please, leave your...

Jeez, that was close.

I just finished dinner and came back. What are you up to?

Yes, Mr. Ju?

Ms. Lim is the one who likes iced coffee. I like mine hot.

I want hot coffee, please.

How do you still not know what I like?

Okay, bye.

Mi-jin?

What brings you here?

I came here to see you.

What?

Did you really come to see me?

Yes.

You came all this way to see me?

Since you're here, do you want a tour?

- Follow me. - Okay.

If you called, we could've had dinner together.

I ate with Mr. Ju for no reason.

That's why I didn't call.

I didn't want you to eat late because of me.

You did well.

That doesn't matter to me.

What if we'd missed each other?

Yeah, what if we had?

- This is it. - Okay.

OFFICE ASSISTANT LIM SUN

That's my desk.

And this desk belongs to Ga-yeong's aunt.

I see.

Nothing special, right?

I'll do my best to support you.

Can I sit here?

- This seat? - Yes.

Of course.

Wait a second.

- Why is the chair out here? - Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow.

Do you like it?

Isn't the keyboard and mouse so cute?

- These? - Yeah.

These paw prints are so cute.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

- Ms. Lee Mi-jin? - Hello.

Hello. Wait.

What brings you to Mr. Gye's office?

She was just passing by.

Yes, that's right.

Don't tell me.

Are you here for this?

- Yes. - Wow, you have great luck!

It's only possible to order this at night.

The wait is crazy during the day.

But didn't you go to buy coffee?

You know he only drinks coffee so he can eat cake.

Yeah.

What?

How did you know that?

Because that's how I am.

Isn't everyone like that? Drink coffee to eat cake?

Yes, that's right.

- It's like how we enjoy pig's trotters. - Yeah.

There aren't any forks. I'll go get some.

Forks?

They're over…

Should we eat it at the table?

That was so natural of me, wasn't it?

People might think you work here.

They might.

Why didn't you buy one more? You're so clueless.

Just give her yours.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

You should manage your blood sugar.

You eat sweets without exercising,

so you have thin limbs and a gut, making you look like E.T.

You need to be careful of inheriting diabetes.

If you must, then have the carrot cake.

You're right.

My late father suffered so much from diabetes.

- I know. - How did you know that?

What is this familiar but unfamiliar feeling?

Because of the pig's trotters?

The spicy pig's trotters.

- I knew it. - Yeah.

You keep bringing that up.

- You can't join our club. - Nope.

Let's not share.

- Only for us two? - Yes.

That's my coffee.

It's so cool to be here like this.

I've always wanted to come here.

As my real self.

I'll wait

until you're ready.

I'm really curious about what you do for work and what you can't tell me.

But I'll wait until you can say.

It could disappoint you though.

You have reasons and circumstances you can't reveal. I understand.

Because you're the only person I fully trust.

The difference between the amount of fentanyl

Hwadong reported as prescribed and their supply is too large.

All right.

Snap out of it.

- Right. - Okay.

If you look at the records of periodic loss or arbitrary disposal

from the year 2000 and onwards,

much more was disposed of than prescribed.

And Hwadong's supply is excessive in comparison to its size.

Don't you think this could be a false report?

If he'd been stealing like this,

that means he'd have a huge stash of fentanyl.

SEOHAN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Do you admit to the charges?

Do you have anything to say as a doctor?

Please give us a few words!

You worked hard to go through decades worth of data.

I thought we'd need this much to get you to talk.

I'm just an honorary director with no real authority.

I gave up the actual management of the hospital long ago.

The drugs from your hospital's basement

were identical to the ones that were distributed in clubs.

So you're not involved in this either?

Even though a kidnapping also took place there?

What did you do with all that stolen fentanyl?

For charges of medical malpractice, illegal drug distribution,

kidnapping, confinement, and assault, jail time is certain.

You'll get at least ten years for selling mass quantities of drugs.

Cooperate and you'll only be charged for supplying and not distributing.

I'll get you a reduced sentence.

Instead of getting additional punishment by being linked with the club,

five or six years will be taken off.

I have no concern

about the rest of my life.

May I see Lim Sun once more?

Mr. Gye, is this the right thing to do?

Whether it's right or wrong, this is the best way to have Baek talk.

Not too long ago, I heard Lee Mi-jin requested a visit to see me.

I thought you'd believe me if you saw for yourself.

Let's say I believed your absurd nonsense.

How will you catch the culprit?

I smelled something.

A smell?

It could be a clue if you knew what that smell was.

But if you can't figure it out?

I'll make them come to me.

Even if I have to reveal that I'm a witness,

I will catch them.

LIST OF FENTANYL TRANSACTIONS IN SEOHAN

So this is a list of all the fentanyl that has been distributed in Seohan?

Wow.

All the drug addicts on one list.

They're records that date back to the incident 24 years ago.

How much would all the drugs here amount to? Seriously?

But Baek Cheol-gyu just readily handed this over to you?

I risked my life for it.

What?

I'm just saying.

What kind of relationship do you have with Baek Cheol-gyu?

We just worked together.

No.

I had forgotten,

but someone I'd looked up to in the past

was the director.

Mi-jin, keep looking ahead.

Look forward.

Mi-jin, keep your eyes ahead. Look in front of you.

Aunt Sun, don't let go!

Okay, look forward.

There you go.

My goodness!

My goodness! Let's get you to the hospital!

Gosh.

All right. There we go.

It's okay. Goodness.

Goodness gracious.

You come so often. Didn't you recently hurt your leg too?

- Thank you, Director Baek. - You're welcome.

There we go. It's okay.

There. All done.

But is she really your aunt?

Yes.

You look just like your aunt.

Here.

If she was your mom, we'd believe it.

Great job.

A club in Seohan has been secretly selling drugs and patches that contained

the narcotic pain reliever, fentanyl.

After a club employee responsible for transporting the drugs

was arrested by the prosecution,

the club attempted

to bury the drugs in the mountains to get rid of the evidence.

A crucial role in this investigation

was served by the testimony of hospital director, Baek.

Baek had been stealing fentanyl

from his hospital and supplying them as drugs.

As Baek had provided free medical care to the elderly and low-income groups

in Seohan and had worked as a senior public intern

for the prosecutors' office, his arrest has shocked the public.

Hey!

This is why I told you not to let outsiders in!

What are you going to do about this mess?

I…

SEOHAN DRUG DISTRIBUTOR ARRESTED

Still, we were able to seize 35 kilograms of drugs thanks to them.

You little…

And to be precise,

Baek Cheol-gyu was selected by the mayor.

The interns we chose are making big contributions on the front lines.

Good for you, you punk!

- Hi, Detective Min. - Hello, sir.

- What? - It's about the kid you asked about.

- The missing person's son. - Yeah.

His name's Gye Ji-ung.

- Hello? Sir? - Yeah.

Yeah, okay. Well, thanks.

Take care of yourself. I'll call you.

Thanks. Bye.

Excuse me, Mr. Gye! Wait a minute.

Yes?

I have something to tell you.

To me?

Baek Cheol-gyu has Parkinson's?

My detective's hunch sensed something suspicious about him.

I took a closer look into him.

Goodness.

Thank you.

Are you left-handed?

Yes.

I'm sure of it.

It's Parkinson's.

Just a moment.

Hello, Mr. Ju?

Get me Baek Cheol-gyu's medical records as soon as possible.

He grew up well.

Mr. Gye.

Baek Cheol-gyu does have Parkinson's.

Also, if you look at the date,

he was receiving treatment at the time Ko Na-heun was killed.

At Hwadong Medical Center?

No, the people there had no idea he had Parkinson's.

He always received treatment at a different hospital.

I'm just an honorary director with no real authority.

I gave up actual management of the hospital long ago.

Is that why he retired early?

I checked the security footage of the hospital he was admitted to.

I'd say his alibi checks out.

What do you mean Baek Cheol-gyu's not the killer now?

It'd be impossible for him to kill and dismember a person.

- He has Parkinson's. - Parkinson's?

He entered a different hospital to avoid the people at Hwadong.

And even if he sneaked out,

he wouldn't have been able to get to the reservoir and back in an hour.

Hey.

You went off and demanded Baek's arrest warrant just the other day!

But now, what? He may not be the culprit?

Are you kidding me?

The chances of an accomplice?

We're investigating further with the drug list he gave us.

There's no time. You can't do this alone!

Gosh, you're so brave.

How about sharing Ko Na-heun's murder case?

Mr. Cha's approved.

- I think the real culprit's out there too. - For what reason?

Baek's alibi is solid, and there's no hard proof.

And he has no motive.

Motive?

If Baek was the culprit, he would've had a motive to kill his wife

but none to kill Ko Na-heun.

That's it? Your reason?

You might not know, but upper-class people like me

don't do irrational things without solid reasons.

Damn it.

What's going on?

It's obvious.

- They're flirting. - Flirting?

Ms. Tak has a crush on Mr. Gye.

She has a crush?

You didn't know?

It seemed like she hated him.

No, that was all fake.

It's been well-known for a while.

She liked him since college, got rejected by him,

tried to get revenge, fell for him again, and put a curse on him.

She went crazy and made a scene all by herself.

But why are they suddenly flirting?

You said it's over between them.

Okay, Ms. Lim.

If there's even a tiny spark left between a man and a woman,

it will burn with passion as soon as it ignites.

Watch.

But why did you mark these people separately?

Those are the notable transactions.

They avoided peak drug season like real users.

They bought when prices were at their lowest.

I see. Then…

What about this?

It's a list focusing on only fentanyl transactions.

Then, I can focus my efforts on this.

Aren't you going home, Ms. Lim?

Well, I do have to go,

but I'll take my time today.

Really? Great.

Then, let's get some dinner together.

- I'll eat alone. - Why eat alone?

You should eat together.

You three will eat together, right?

I don't know. I'm not hungry now.

Me neither.

If we get hungry later, I know a great tent bar.

- We can... - Are you kidding?

We all work to survive, right?

But your thoughtless actions affect Mr. Ju!

He'll be by himself, all alone, lonely, and forlorn.

Must you make him eat alone? For what?

- Excuse me? - No, I'm fine.

- Be honest! - Let's eat together.

See?

Then, let's just order something.

Hello, this is Room 307.

One jajangmyeon and one jjamppong, please.

And fried rice?

Japtang rice.

One japtang-like fried rice.

You don't have it?

Then, whatever japtang rice you have.

- Ms. Lim, pickled radish too. - Okay.

We'd like a lot of pickled radish.

You're the only one who thinks of me, Ms. Lim.

What's that lady's deal?

Are you still working?

I think I'll have to pull an all-nighter.

What?

An all-nighter?

Jeez, I can't even reveal it!

And I was the one who wanted to keep it a secret.

That means he'll be with her.

This is a special case, isn't it?

You know it is. Why are you asking?

To be honest,

that's why I wanted in.

I wanted to do it together.

Are you still at it? I made myself pretty clear...

Honestly,

I had my hopes up a bit at first.

I thought, "Did he come here for me?"

Don't laugh like that. It's annoying.

I'm going to quit after this case.

Once this case is solved, do you want to go to Seoul with me?

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO

Hello?

I'll be arriving soon.

Can you come out?

Weren't you working all night? You're already done?

I called it a night just for you.

I'm kind of tired though.

Really?

Then, don't come out. I can see you next time.

I mean, I am tired,

but you're coming all this way.

I can come out for a second.

What's with her?

I almost forgot.

Spin for me!

Here. Take this.

I hate leopard print.

It's this season's new item!

This will highlight your face!

It's not needed. It's already settled.

What do you mean?

Are you saying it's over?

No, it's not that.

I can't put my faith in Mi-jin. I'll have to seal the deal.

- There's no need... - Wait. There's no time.

Why don't you listen to me?

You're busy. How did you find time to come?

Are you upset we can't see each other often?

Do I look like someone who isn't understanding of that?

Well, I'm not.

I want to see you often too,

but I didn't want to wake you this late.

Why would you worry about me sleeping?

Okay, fine.

I'll come all the time. I mean it.

Well, it's fine if you were worried about me.

I stay at home after sunset, and my parents are here too.

I didn't come because I was worried.

When I come and see you,

I don't have to look for you in my dreams.

So are you saying if you don't come and see me,

you won't be able to sleep or something?

Yeah, I'll have to come every day.

So I can get my sleep.

- Right. What are you doing this weekend? - This weekend?

You're busy on the weekends. Why?

Still, I can make some time for you.

- Let's grab lunch... - No!

I don't think that's right.

Why?

Seeing each other at lunch is too early.

How is that too early?

Then, how about 3:00 p.m...

Goodness! That's an even more uncertain time of day.

Those who had lunch, those going to eat, those going home.

There's so much traffic.

- Right? Don't you think? - Is that so?

How about 6:00 p.m. for dinner...

Or if we meet way past 7:00 p.m.,

that would just be perfect.

No? Is that too late?

It sounds perfect and not too crowded.

Seeing each other at lunch is too early.

How about we meet after 7:00 p.m.?

That would just be perfect.

LIST OF FENTANYL TRANSACTIONS IN SEOHAN

I'm going to quit after this case.

Once this case is solved, do you want to go to Seoul with me?

Even if I go, it won't be with you.

Why not?

I know you messed up coming here. My background can make up for that.

Does it look like I messed up?

I came here to live a proper life.

I thought solving this case would lighten the burden in my heart a bit.

Burden? What burden?

Also, quitting your job as a prosecutor is a good idea.

You go all out in whatever you do.

I think you'll be the best attorney for your future clients.

How embarrassing.

SEOHAN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Seriously?

Why does she put on so much lipstick at night?

Damn it. I bet it won't come off.

I'll clean that.

Gosh, you worked until late.

I'm sure you're exhausted.

I'll do it.

It's okay.

By the way, I was wondering

about your niece's friend.

Yes, Ga-yeong…

Her friend…

- Mi-jin? - Yes.

Do you know what she does for work?

Why are you curious about that?

She hates the idea of meeting during the day.

I'm sure there's a reason why, so I was wondering if you knew.

I don't know.

During the day…

I think she had a reason why she couldn't see people.

But don't you think you should respect her personal matters?

But it's so strange.

Why avoid daytime instead of nighttime?

Unless she's hiding something...

She's not hiding anything!

There is such a thing as privacy.

Couples should respect that.

I never said we were dating. How did you know?

Ga-yeong told me you two were dating.

What?

Sorry?

She said it was a secret.

She said to keep it a secret but told everyone.

I think I overheard the two whispering about their plans this weekend.

That must be why.

That's probably why she said no.

But she's said no for other days too.

Anyway, okay.

Gosh, why were you so curious?

You know, she might be allergic to the sun too.

She doesn't go out much during the day.

- What? - Nothing.

I should wash the dishes.

That's very strange.

After being scammed, one thing I learned was

there's usually a reason why something feels off.

I've heard of being unreachable at night, but not being able to meet during the day?

That's really strange.

By any chance,

is she allergic to the sun or something?

Is she avoiding you because her skin becomes weird?

That stuff doesn't matter to me.

Come on. It's different for women.

You really don't know anything.

But you said you don't know where she works or what she does.

That's the bigger problem.

Look, you keep hiding at my house, but it can't go on forever.

Don't your parents say anything?

I don't know.

Maybe they're up to something.

It's absolutely hectic at my house. They probably don't know I left.

True. Your parents aren't the issue right now.

Your relationship's a disaster.

If I keep avoiding him during the day like this,

he'd think it's weird, right?

He already does.

It'd be weird if he didn't already.

Jeez.

Is there any solution?

Just tell him the truth.

About how I faked my identity to get a job?

You want me to tell him I've been Lim Sun all this time?

No, you can't do that.

You'd be sent to jail immediately.

Goodness.

Of all people, you just had to date a prosecutor.

I know.

How could someone like me

even think about dating?

Instead of crying about your situation, think about what you'll do.

What? Did you think of a great idea?

No, I have to poop.

Where's my phone?

Just go and poop!

You said not to use phones while pooping!

It's not. It's doing business.

She must be here.

You said she had plans with your neighbor.

Are they meeting here?

I'll go and see.

- All of a sudden? - I'm an investigator.

It's suspicious.

I can go upstairs and check.

There's really no need for that,

but if you must…

Who is it?

Hey!

What do we do? It's the investigator!

- What do we do? - Send him away!

Damn it.

Hello, Mr. Ju.

What brings you here?

We're neighbors.

I made some food to share.

- I thought it would be polite. - I see.

Here you go.

What's this?

I made this myself.

My goodness… This unexpected charm.

Wow.

Would you like to come in?

- Okay, if you don't mind. - Not at all.

What the hell?

Why is he coming in?

Ta-da! This is my home.

Yes. Goodness.

Would you like some tea?

I'd love some.

I'd like some hot tea so I can drink it slowly.

Okay.

Send him out now.

Just hold on. I'm sorry!

I have to go to the bathroom!

So you were by yourself?

What were you…

What were you saying?

By any chance…

do you like spicy pig's trotters?

I love it.

- Wow. - Always level-three spiciness.

I never thought I'd meet someone with the same tastes like this.

Since you're here, would you like to join me for some?

Okay, then. Have a seat over here.

Make yourself at home.

He went up a while ago. What's taking so long?

This spaghetti is so good.

This is just how I like my spicy pig's trotter's too.

We can't eat spicy pig's trotters without this.

It's an irresistible combination.

Why would we need to resist it?

You're so thoughtful.

MI-JIN

This is nice.

This combination is great.

Were those fireworks?

No.

So? Did you see her?

- Well? - The thing is…

She was so kind she even invited me into her home.

So what did you see?

And we have the same tastes. How can I put it?

We're so compatible when it comes to food.

By the way…

I think she fell for my cooking.

So who did you see?

Am I speaking another language?

- Is this a hard question? - Sorry.

But seriously, why did I go upstairs?

Wow.

Forget it. Let's just stop talking.

But Ms. Lim was upstairs.

Please open the door! Seriously!

I have to go before the sun rises!

How? It's broken.

You broke it. Why are you going in there?

Hey, are you insane?

Sir! I'm going to fall!

- Wait! - I'm here!

Ms. Lee Mi-jin.

Ms. Lim!

What are you doing here?

Why would I be here?

I heard those two say they were going to meet and do something this weekend.

By the way,

your neighbor…

is quite beautiful.

The way she looks at me…

Seriously…

You couldn't wait and just had to come out?

You could've just waited a bit.

Hey, I didn't come out just because I had to poop.

I came out to save you.

Why would you need to save me?

Mr. Ju has a partner.

A partner?

What do you mean?

Don't tell me.

He's been off the market for a while.

Hey, don't get involved with a married man and be a part of that drama.

Take care of your subscribers instead. They're your flesh and blood, you brat.

I didn't see anything unusual in front of Lee Mi-jin's house.

It's not that. I'm sorry, but I have to check something.

I just emailed you the dashcam footage.

Thank you so much.

Ms. Lim?

PHONES, RECORDERS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES PROHIBITED

I smelled something.

Something I'd never smelled before.

It didn't smell like blood.

It was too unique to be an air freshener.

I don't know.

But if I were to smell it again,

I'd recognize it.

A unique air freshener?

A unique air freshener.

A unique…

SEOHAN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

PROSECUTOR GYE JI-UNG

- Are you busy? - Yeah.

- I have to talk to you. You have time? - About what?

Have some coffee with me.

Do you want some coffee?

No.

I cross-checked Baek Cheol-gyu's list.

How?

It's been so long that some names could've changed.

Right. So you looked into everyone with the same last names?

But…

GONG GI-CHEOL

There was one that stood out.

"Gong Gi-cheol"?

It was the same last name as Gong Eun-sim, who made a deal 20 years ago,

so I checked to be sure.

But Gong Eun-sim's a woman.

Gong Gi-cheol's a man.

No, she's a woman.

It's Gong Eun-sim's new name.

GONG EUN-SIM

GONG GI-CHEOL

So she reappears after 20 years.

Suspicious, right? She even changed her name.

What do you say?

Want to get a drink after...

Damn it!

You ate my money!

Damn it, that scared me.

Why won't it work?

Ms. Lim, don't get worked up.

It does that sometimes.

It keeps stealing my money.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Hold on.

- Do I have any coins? - Here.

- It kept eating mine. - I see.

It's working fine though.

- What? - What do you want?

Something sweet.

- Lemon-lime soda? - Yes.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Do you want one too? - No, I'm fine.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Can you look into this woman named Gong Eun-sim?

Her new name's Gong Gi-cheol.

"Gong Eun-sim."

And then…

If she's been buying for 24 years, she's a true regular.

Buying on the dark web would've been impossible 24 years ago.

That's likely her real name.

What if it was an assumed name?

After her last deal over 20 years ago, she bought again recently.

If she used an assumed name, buying again would've been impossible.

What?

- This was right before the incident. - That's right.

Can we find her though?

Gong Eun-sim.

I have my ways of finding old-timers.

What?

THERE'S A SENIOR INTERN WHO LIED

What's that?

Nothing.

It's nothing.

- What is it? Give it to me. - No…

Explain what this is to me.

What is this?

It's an anonymous letter that someone's been sending to Mr. Cha.

You should've told me first then!

I wanted to handle it myself.

I wanted to protect you.

How did you know it was a cleaning lady?

I learned they come by during lunch.

So I hid in the office and watched it for days.

I followed her today to be sure.

Did you leave this behind?

I don't know anything about this.

I saw you leave it.

I swear.

Someone asked me to do it.

I had no idea what was written in this letter.

Right, so who asked you to do this?

Gosh.

It was someone I used to work with.

They begged me to do it.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

But I won't get fired for this, will I?

No.

So could you tell me who asked you to do this?

Goodness.

Please, I need your help.

Gosh.

Are you okay by yourself?

Wait.

I'll be right here, so call me if anything happens.

Okay.

Sir?

Where can I find this place?

HELP WANTED MANUAL LABOR

Is anyone home?

What is it?

Are you the one who sent this?

Wait.

- I have nothing to say. Leave! - No, I...

Didn't you send this letter to talk to me?

Who are you?

Do you know how precious that job is for those who live hand-to-mouth?

But that person was hired!

At our age, we all know how unfair the world is.

It'd be odd if it were fair.

The thing is I definitely recognized them,

but they were someone else.

A different person?

It's unfair that I wasn't hired,

but seeing a fraud get the job was too much to bear!

That's why I sent the letter!

Wait.

Then, who is this person?

Where did I put it?

Where is it?

Here.

SEOHAN NEWS

What?

Na Ok-hui?

Who?

She isn't Na Ok-hui.

MISS NIGHT AND DAY

Gong Eun-sim?

Do you think similar cases have occurred since my return by coincidence?

How do you know our Sun? Who's that lady?

- Come here! Hey, lady! - There she goes!

Is that you, Ms. Lim?

Who in the world are you?

- I can't do it anymore. - Let's tell them.

And let's go to jail.

What? Jail?

If you get caught or things go south, it's not my fault.

So her name was Lee Mi-jin.
