Original subtitles

It's just something I found out recently.

Chief Moon had a confidential informant.

Perhaps, that person might know something.

- An informant? - Yes.

I don't know the person's name, just a nickname.

Ah, I think he called him Footsteps.

- Footsteps? - Yes.

Have you heard it before?

No, I don't know anything about it.

You should ask Sergeant Yoo about it.

All right.

I think it's better if I go out for this case.

I will do as you say this time, Sergeant Yoo.

Sergeant Yoo.

Thank you.

[Lieutenant Oh]

[Episode 14]

Is she not picking up?

I think I need to go by her house in the afternoon.

Do you want to come along?

What is it?

For the time being, I think it's best she's not here.

What do you mean by that?

What I'm about to tell you right now must be kept a secret from Sergeant Yoo.

What is it?

Prosecutor Yoo Shi Joon...

You're meeting Park Moon Ki today, aren't you?

Yes, I'm meeting him later, around 3:00 pm.

We don't have much time.

If Park Moon Ki is meeting the Elder, we need to find out the location.

He will be meeting with them again soon.

We will likely get new information.

Chief Moon Jae Hyun.

Though it may have been to achieve good...

He was my senior. I liked and respected him.

However...

if I had been there instead of you...

I would have made the same choice.

Prosecutor Yoo did that to Chief Moon?

That's nonsense.

Are you joking right now, Detective Kang?

No one knew about Footsteps except for me and Chief Moon.

Yet, Prosecutor Yoo Shi Joon knows about it?

Also, he thinks it means something different than what Chief Moon told me.

What do you think that means?

Chief Moon left one last clue for us.

Still, thinking Prosecutor Yoo is the killer because of that one reason

is a little too much.

We have no actual evidence.

We need to find that now.

We need evidence that Yoo Shi Joon is X and that Jang Tae Joon works for him.

Also, we need evidence that Yoo Shi Joon killed Chief Moon.

You need to help me, Lieutenant Oh.

Shi Hyun...

You're not going to tell Shi Hyun?

If Sergeant Yoo finds out the truth,

she will be living in hell from that point on.

There's no point in subjecting her to that hell before we have to.

What can I do?

First, I'll look into the files that Yoon Sung Soo left behind.

Lieutenant Oh, investigate everything you can about Yoo Shi Joon,

especially his past and how he may be involved with Jang Tae Joon.

We will need to focus on that.

- Okay. - Thank you.

[Law Firm Chunsan]

This is the Cordyceps militaris (a medicinal mushroom) that I brought over from Nepal.

It's a rare and precious tea that the top one percent of the world gets to taste.

No wonder it is so delicious.

Thanks to you, I get to enjoy this luxury.

Did you know?

The top one percent own two thirds of Seoul's real estate.

It is that much?

The 99 percent

fight over the remaining one third.

That's why the price of Seoul's real estate goes up.

I am not so good with numbers.

However, Prosecutor Park,

the top one percent monopolize two-thirds of everything.

Do you know why the remaining 99 percent do nothing?

Please teach me why.

It's because of hope.

They have hope that they will someday become wealthy.

They hope to become wealthy and comfortable.

There is nothing better to appease the masses than hope.

However, you cannot just give hope.

You must discipline them by giving it and taking it away.

Otherwise, they start to think that they really do own the world.

Cold sale.

Is that what you're referring to?

The newly formed government wants to reform the system.

They are coming up with novel ideas and singing with new ideas.

Shouldn't we teach them who the real owners of this nation are?

Is the Elder getting directly involved?

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm with the police.

You know Yoon Sung Soo, don't you?

I do.

I heard he left something with you.

Yoon Sung Soo told me where he left his files.

A friend of his from college

is a Korean Literature professor at Baesung University.

He gave him a copy of the report he wrote.

They're some documents regarding a cold sale.

Do you know anyone who specializes in finance?

Why do you ask?

We need an expert to analyze this.

I do have a senior who's a manager working on research at a government bank.

Is this person trustworthy?

We've known each other for over 20 years. You don't need to worry.

This person is skilled enough?

In order to be the manager of the research team

of the government bank at that age.

I don't need to state the obvious, right?

What did you find out about Jang Tae Joon?

Let me breathe, Detective Kang.

Well, nothing stood out to me.

He did take a leave of absence for a year about 20 years ago.

For what reason?

Well, by any chance,

do you recall the Seosu building fire incident in 1997?

Yes, a patient with mental illness set the fire.

Weren't almost 200 people killed?

Yes.

Chief Jang's younger sister was an elementary school teacher.

She died in that fire.

The shock of her death must've been why he took a year off.

That's not much help, right?

Any overlap between Yoo Shi Joon and Jang Tae Joon?

I looked at jobs they were on, locations, and blood ties.

Nothing connects them.

Honestly, they're over 20 years apart in age.

While Chief Jang was very active on the job,

Prosecutor Yoo was still a young child.

I'll keep looking though.

All right.

Ah, this could be nothing.

You want to hear it?

I looked through Prosecutor Yoo's personnel records, just in case.

To be precise, I stole them and looked at them.

So, you hacked into the records of a prosecutor?

Lieutenant Oh, this could be a big problem if you get caught.

This has to do with Chief Moon.

I had to take on that risk.

So, was it worth the risk you took?

Well, you know how the personnel records also show medical records?

I took a look.

It showed that Prosecutor Yoo was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

A psychiatric hospital?

Yes, Shi Hyun's parents...

Ah, so it was about a year before their parents were murdered.

It was when he was about thirteen years old.

What was the reason?

How great would it be if that were in the records too?

It wouldn't be right to ask Shi Hyun, right?

I'll go to the hospital and ask them myself.

Lieutenant Oh, please get these files from Yoon Sung Soo analyzed.

Okay.

My location to meet the Elder has been confirmed.

Yes, Chief Jang. Do you have good news?

Park Moon Ki has confirmed the meeting location with the Elder.

Where is it?

Park Moon Ki only knows that the location is in Yongsan.

I only know that it is in Yongsan.

They will tell me the specifics on the day we meet.

I do understand why. They have to think of security.

Seeing that they are taking such precautions,

it seems that the Elder really will be there.

I could not dig further in case I might arouse suspicion.

We don't have much time.

If we lose this opportunity,

I don't know when we can find the Elder again.

Push Manager Choi Tae Wook once more.

He may have a lead that can help us.

All right.

It scares me when you call me.

What is it this time?

Whatever it is, it's a treat for you to see my pretty face.

- Isn't it? - Hey.

I came out in the middle of work. I'm leaving if you say this nonsense.

These were issued by foreign companies.

They're documents regarding the sale of our country's publicly-owned companies.

According to the date, these files are from six months ago.

Are they important?

The documents are just documents.

You need to analyze what these numbers mean to know more.

Could you find out as soon as possible?

Why, you...

Just because I come running every time you call,

you think I have a lot of free time on my hands.

I am actually someone who has a packed schedule.

Sunbae, let me just say this.

If this weren't important and urgent, I wouldn't have come here.

You know I adore you a lot, right?

No wonder.

I had a bad dream last night.

You need to ask me about Yoo Shi Joon?

Yes, I know that twenty years ago, he was admitted here for two months.

He was thirteen years old, at the time.

He would've been in grade six.

Do you happen to remember him?

Yes, I remember him.

He had severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

Post-traumatic stress disorder?

Do you know about the Seosu building fire?

Seosu building?

Shi Joon's class went to the building on the day of the fire.

The fire started in the basement and engulfed the entire building.

The class that went on that trip died.

Shi Joon was the only person in that class to survive.

What was he like here?

All the patients here are similar.

But, Shi Joon especially said things that didn't make sense.

Shi Joon didn't have a personality disorder, so I remember it.

Like what?

He said it was his fault that the people died.

The arsonist was arrested after the incident.

He was caught setting the fire on CCTV.

Shi Joon was a victim who nearly died in the fire.

Yet, he said it was his fault.

Why would he say that?

I'm not sure.

One day, he stopped talking about it.

I asked about it a few times during our sessions.

Whenever I did, he didn't affirm or deny, but just smiled.

How should I put it?

It seemed like he wasn't seeing what was in front of him,

like he was looking at something far away somewhere.

Kill me quickly if you're going to do it.

Soon, there will be a meeting with the Elder.

Where is the location?

Only the highest in the organization get to meet with the Elder.

If a person like me knew the location, wouldn't that be stranger?

Your daughter's name is Choi Sun Young, isn't it?

She's a precious daughter and you had her at a late age, right?

We can get our hands on your daughter whenever we want.

Hey, you there.

You seem a bit different than Yoo Shi Joon and this man here.

Could you kill an innocent girl?

You could be correct.

However, you could also be wrong.

Do you want to gamble...

with your daughter's life on the line?

If you know something, then talk.

That's the best for everyone.

These past few years,

I did some work for Chairman Park Suk Chun of Macheon Group.

It was for the development of Yongsan.

Macheon Group has a lot of influence in that area.

They put in that much effort, as well.

If the meeting is in Yongsan,

it is likely that they will use a location belonging to Macheon Group.

That is all that I know.

Prosecutor Yoo.

What did he mean when he said it was his fault that they died?

The culprit of the Seosu building fire was arrested on the scene.

His name is Seo Sang Goo.

Anyway, Jang Tae Joon and Yoo Shi Joon,

their connection to each other is the Seosu building fire.

Do we have to ask Shi Hyun about this?

But, Sergeant Yoo was five years old at the time.

She may not be aware of it at all.

So, what are you planning to do?

The arsonist's name is Seo Sang Goo?

He's in Gyeonggi-do Central Prison.

I'll go see him myself.

Shi Hyun.

Detective Kang must be out.

Huh? Oh, uh...

Detective Kang went out to look into Chief Jang's old cases.

Why is he looking into those?

Shouldn't we be looking into who killed Chief Moon?

Chief Jang is the only connection we have to X.

There's a good chance that X killed Chief Moon.

Okay.

Shi Hyun, are you okay?

About... Choi Sun Young.

Why do you think she was let go after being kidnapped?

Not only that, why was she even kidnapped at all?

I hadn't even thought about that.

Things have been so hectic.

I'll go meet with that girl, Sun Young.

Our Chief Moon...

is in a better place.

I'll be back.

[Macheon Construction, Opening of Mammoth Hotel in Yongsan]

[Macheon Group: Jo Min Sook at Tape Cutting of Hotel Opening]

Seo Sang Goo, my name is Kang Dong Soo.

I'm here to ask you a few questions.

Do you know either of these people?

He can't even remember if he ate his meals or not.

You're better off not bothering.

Do you recognize these people?

I'm the bad person.

I'm the culprit.

You mean the Seosu building fire?

Ah, yeah. The building, right. Yes.

I started the fire there too.

But, not that.

I did it again.

It was about 20 years ago and it was in Yakseon-dong.

A taxi came into the intersection and I got in it.

I needed the money, you know?

So I killed that person.

Yakseon-dong?

But, you,

You're not asking me about that.

You're asking why I started the fire.

Why did you start the fire?

I didn't want to die alone.

I had been lonely my whole life.

I thought that I had to die alone too.

I felt it was so unfair.

Except for me,

everyone looked so happy.

I just wanted to take a few with me.

But... [Massive Building Fire]

I had no idea that so many people would die.

But, while I've been in here,

I've thought and thought about it.

And I thought some more.

I really don't know.

Why...

was I born?

I'm done with him. Take him out of here.

When I woke up, I was alone.

I told the police many times, but I don't remember a thing.

Even a small thing would be helpful.

Whether you heard him talking to someone or if he said something to you.

The way I see it, I think you have something to say.

You can tell me, no matter what it is.

Well... I can't reach my dad right now.

What?

No matter how busy thins are, I can usually reach him every couple of days.

How long has it been since you last spoke to him?

After I was taken and released.

Yes, Lieutenant Oh.

Choi Tae Wook, age 64.

He enlisted at age 19 and became a career soldier when he was a sergeant.

He was working with the US Army.

Then he left at the age of 25.

After that, he worked for the government until he retired in 1997.

He has no criminal record and he has a pretty clean financial record.

So, there's nothing off about him.

Rather than off, there's something unique.

What is that?

When he retired,

he got a large sum of money from Youngwoo Society,

much more than normal retirement money.

Youngwoo Society? What is that?

It's a shell corporation formed in 1970.

On the surface

it's a group made to provide welfare to people who worked in intelligence.

So, Sun Young's father worked in intelligence?

Perhaps.

It says he retired in 1997.

He could be former Agency for National Security Planning, based on the timeline.

Ah, also,

you said that Choi Tae Wook supposedly worked in trade?

Yes, is something wrong with that?

I'm looking at his travel records.

He barely has any records of business travel.

Can you send me his office address?

I'll send you the address.

He's not picking up his phone, is he?

No, he isn't.

I was tracking his last known location.

I'll call you once I know.

Chairman Park Suk Chun.

He is a top client of the Chunsan Law Firm.

So much so that Jo Min Sook went to the opening of his hotel.

He is very close to Jo Min Sook.

Park Suk Chun's name was on the list that Manager Choi gave me, as well.

If what Manager Choi said is true, that is the likely location of the meeting.

We need to go inside to get precise intel.

Kim Do Jin.

It is important to get intel before the meeting,

but it's more important that we do not expose our identities.

If they feel that anything is off, they will definitely change the location,

or we could even get caught in their trap.

Thinking of the difference in power between the Elder and us,

the moment we get caught, it will be game over.

Remember that.

I'll be careful.

If we lose this chance, we may be unable to catch the Elder again.

Is something bothering you?

I have been with you a long time, Prosecutor Yoo.

I know by your expression when something is going on.

Even though I intervened, Shi Hyun's sketch did not change.

What I saw was Lieutenant Oh Young Shim's death.

Lieutenant Oh did not die, but Shi Hyun's sketch still came true.

What could that mean?

Shi Hyun is getting stronger.

She is nearly on my level.

Over there.

There?

- Sorry. - It's okay.

Sorry.

Yes, how can I help you?

I picked this up in front of the elevator.

I think it belongs to an employee.

Yes, thank you. I will get this to him for you.

Hello.

Ah, yes.

Oh, thank you. I'll be right down.

Yes, yes. Yes.

- You're here for your wallet, right? - Thank you.

You came without even calling, so I was wondering what was up.

What did you need to ask?

It's nothing much.

You used to work in Yakseon, right?

Yes, for about five years. Why?

Do you recall a case involving a five-way intersection?

I do remember it.

Hey, why are you digging into that after all these years?

So, there is something there.

It was just before the elections.

The people higher up were pressuring us to catch the guy and there were no leads.

There was a 19-year-old who had witnessed it.

He was a bit out of it.

So, the people from up high set up the whole story.

Make him the culprit.

What? You made the witness into the culprit?

After that kid confessed,

he went to trial and lived in prison for about a year.

He committed suicide.

He left a note saying that he was wronged.

Then after he died,

some weird man showed up.

He said that he was the real culprit of that five-way intersection incident.

But, it was covered up.

The moment these are re-investigated,

you'll be shaming the entire police force.

There were so many jobs on the line, so who would re-investigate it?

Also, you know the guy who turned himself in?

He was an alcoholic and he wasn't right in the head,

so the police wanted to just cover it up and let it go.

That's what happened.

Hey, why are you interested in it anyway?

It's been over 20 years.

- You know the Seosu building fire? - Yeah, why?

Do you know who started the fire in the building?

Wasn't it some mentally ill patient?

It was Seo Sang Goo.

The person who turned himself in

as the culprit of the five-way intersection incident.

If the police had accepted his confession and just arrested him,

the Seosu building fire would not have happened.

Two hundred innocent lives would not have been lost.

Who was the person in charge of the five-way intersection case?

Yes, Detective Kang.

Jang Tae Joon's younger sister, who died in the Seosu building.

It was no simple accident to Jang Tae Joon.

What do you mean by that?

So, Chief Jang lost his sister because of his own mistake—

Along with 200 innocent lives.

The reason Jang Tae Joon is obsessed with potential victims

is to make up for what he did.

But, what's Prosecutor Yoo's connection to the fire in the Seosu building?

I don't know that yet.

I'm sure we'll find something if we keep digging.

Okay, I'll keep looking too.

- Good work. - Lieutenant Oh.

Yes?

Have you heard from Sergeant Yoo?

Did you find something?

There's a conference room on the 10th floor.

From the level of security there, I think we have the right place.

Tell us the details.

There's security guarding the entrance to the conference room.

By his physique, he did not seem like hotel security.

We don't need inferences, just facts.

We can't assume that's the location with that alone.

A hotel security person wouldn't be armed with a Glock 17.

What are the facilities like?

There's a body scanner at the entrance.

It was a model that can detect weapons and goods hidden in your body.

There are wiretapping detectors under the table.

All the windows are bulletproof.

Using a sniper gun will not be possible.

There were even alarms to detect gas in the ventilation system.

If you add proper security on the day of the meeting,

it will be almost impregnable.

I see.

Thank you.

You can return and stand by, Kim Do Jin.

Chief Jang and I will look at the blueprint and make a plan.

I understand.

I just do not see a way.

Did you see anything in your visions?

Not yet.

We need your ability to see the future now more than ever.

It is also our greatest weapon.

Chief Jang.

Have I ever disappointed you?

All right.

I need to make a phone call.

Can you send me Choi Tae Wook's office address?

Yes, I'll send you his address.

Yes, Shi Joon.

Are you okay?

What's there to be okay about?

I just need to get through it.

You must feel very emotional right now. I shouldn't have asked.

Thanks for your concern.

Yeah.

Oh yeah, Shi Hyun. Uh...

Have you sketched anything?

No, not yet. Why do you ask?

Just because.

I thought it might help you with your case.

I'll call you if I sketch something.

Okay, thanks.

Make sure to eat well.

Okay.

What about Choi Tae Wook's office?

I called his office number and I think he forwarded the calls to his cell phone.

- Forwarded his calls? - Yes.

So, if someone calls that office, it connects to his cell phone.

Even if he goes on trips a lot for his trading company,

isn't it normal to have at least two people in his office?

Yeah, that's only if they're really doing trades there.

Detective Kang, what are you doing here?

Hey, you're scaring me. Put that gun down and let's talk.

Oh.

I talked to Lieutenant Oh and heard it all from her.

You sure found out an interesting thing, Sergeant Yoo.

There's something more interesting in that fridge.

I don't think he was a normal dad.

You said he was former ANSP?

Yes.

He didn't retire. He was scouted by another place.

I heard there were people who took care of dirty work for powerful people.

It's my first time seeing one for real.

Powerful people?

Well, people like the Elder.

Why would Kim Do Jin kidnap this person's daughter?

He probably wants something from Choi Tae Wook.

I don't know what that is,

But he let Sun Young go, so he got what he wanted.

Do you think it's connected to Chief Moon's death?

Sergeant Yoo.

It's not your fault that happened to Chief Moon.

If someone dies, especially if it's someone close to you,

people look for reasons why that person died.

Otherwise, they can't accept that person's death.

However, there's no reason for a person's death.

Chief Moon died because

his time here was up.

- There was nothing you could do. - No.

I...

should have thanked him.

I only accepted things from him.

Every time he saw me,

he must've been so sad because he was reminded of his daughter.

When I was going through a hard time, he would give me a pat on the back,

or he would say it's okay not be strong.

He said it was okay just to be me.

Like that... Chief Moon was always by my side.

So, I should have thanked him...

for being with me.

"I was able to get through the days because of you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you and thank you."

I should have told him.

I never got to tell him.

He knew already.

He knew how you felt.

That's why he didn't want to hold back on the last case,

because Chief Moon loved and cherished you.

You told me just now, right?

He would've been sad when he saw you because he was reminded of his daughter.

He wasn't,

because

Chief Moon truly thought of you as his daughter.

What's wrong with me?

It's okay. Cry if you want to.

I'll be outside.

Thank you.

But, not now.

Once I find out who did that to Chief Moon...

then I'll cry.

Yes, Lieutenant Oh.

I'm with Detective Kang now.

Really? I found out where Choi Tae Wook was last located.

I'll text you the address.

I found the last place Choi Tae Wook's phone was on.

It's in a market area, so I can't find a precise location.

I'll send you the GPS link for now.

According to the GPS, I think this is the building.

Have you seen this person?

I don't really know.

No one knows him.

He didn't do anything here to leave an impression.

If nothing happened here, should we try going up?

Yes.

Lieutenant Oh, this market is too big.

Is there a way to pinpoint the location?

I did an analysis of the GPS.

Try heading towards the entrance. Go south.

- What? - Look at that.

What are the chances a matchstick just happens to be in there?

They put that there to see if someone went inside.

That's right. Let's open it.

Okay.

Get behind me.

Detective Kang.

I think this is Kim Do Jin's hideout.

Those are documents investigating the Elder and his organization.

Weren't Kim Do Jin, X, and the Elder on the same side?

Choi Tae Wook?

Wh-Who... Who are you?

We're the police.

Help me.

I have been abducted.

I think he needs to go the hospital. His wound is severe.

Wait, we need to talk first.

Talk about what?

What are you doing?

If you're with the police, shouldn't you help people?

Don't play games.

I know what kind of person you are.

What are you talking about?

We were just at your office.

You had many interesting things.

Answer the questions I'm about to ask you.

The hospital, or wherever, comes after that.

If you have something to ask, hurry up.

Who knows when they will be back again?

Did you kill Chief Moon Jae Hyun?

You have it so entirely wrong.

Then, that means you do know who killed him.

If I tell you who killed Chief Moon,

what do I gain from it?

I will guarantee the safety of your daughter.

The people who did this to you,

I assume they kept you hostage and threatened your daughter.

Everyone has a weakness.

For you, your daughter is your Achilles heel.

Isn't that right?

You sure are something.

You're no different than Kim Do Jin and these people.

Do you know Prosecutor Yoo Shi Joon?

Keep going.

Prosecutor Yoo Shi Joon...

killed Chief Moon Jae Hyun.

He pulled the trigger himself.

What nonsense. You liar.

Can you testify to that in court?

I need to get out of this place in order to testify or anything.

Let's get him out of here.

Do you believe him, right now?

My brother killing Chief Moon.

Do you believe that?

There must be something I don't know.

Tell me.

I said tell me, right now!

Footsteps?

Yes, it was the last clue that Chief Moon left for us.

It can't be.

It can't be.

My brother. My brother...

Chief Moon must not have been a normal man.

I had no idea there was a hidden meaning in his dying words.

We need to take him to the police station. Hold onto him.

Let's go.

Yoo Shi Hyun!

You said you wanted to catch the person who killed Chief Moon.

Now is the time for action, not just words.

Get it together and hold him up.

What is it?

Go to the central police station.

Jang Tae Joon has the least influence there.

What are you doing? Go!

You're Yoo Shi Hyun?

Prosecutor Yoo Shi Joon's younger sister?

Shut your mouth.

Then you're Journalist Yoo Jin Kyu's daughter.

Chief Jang, Kang Dong Soo and Yoo Shi Hyun found out hideout.

What about Choi Tae Wook?

Yoo Shi Hyun has him.

Choi Tae Wook witnessed Prosecutor Yoo killing Chief Moon.

More important than that,

if Choi Tae Wook contacts the Elder, everything is over.

You need to get rid of him.

Yes.

Kang Dong Soo's team has taken Choi Tae Wook?

Sergeant Kim is chasing Sergeant Yoo and Choi Tae Wook.

Have you not had any visions?

I will head out for now.

Call me if you get a vision.

Chief Jang.

I have something to tell you.

I have not had any visions since Chief Moon died.

You're saying you've lost your ability to see the future?

Why, suddenly?

I don't know the exact reason why, but I can make a guess.

I think it is because my powers have become similar in level to Shi Hyun's.

Shi Hyun is probably also unable to sketch.

It's like a game of rock, paper, scissors while knowing what the other will do.

We have almost the same amount of power.

We know what each person will do.

Neither of us can play a card.

I don't think I can use my powers to help you now.

I'm sorry.

Without you,

we wouldn't even have made it this far.

I will do what I can about Choi Tae Wook.

Ask me if you're curious about anything.

I did know your father a bit.

Do you know how your father died?

I know very well.

I killed him with my own hands.

Yes, Senior.

Where did these papers come from?

Why? Is something wrong?

Senior, what is it?

Is it very bad?

It's not just bad. This is...

The whole country is going to be sold off.

What?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Dream SketcherTeam on Viki.com

[Sketch]

Detective Kang.

Let's pretend this fifth sketch didn't come out.

You finally met the Elder.

Choi Tae Wook is a victim.
