EPISODE 1 HO-JAE
BUGANG COMPANY PIONEER OF GLOBAL COMMERCE
BUGANG COMPANY THE CENTER OF TRADE IN ASIA
THE PRIDE OF JONGNO RETURNS ANEW
CALL FOR ANY AND ALL REQUESTS ON-CALL 24/7
[melodic acoustic guitar music playing]
[blows, slurps]
Mmm.
Where are you going?
I think we can grab the evidence Mr. Yang requested, so I'm on it.
Wait a minute. Hold on.
You should've told me sooner. Jeez. We gotta go together for that job.
I thought you knew that.
Yong-gil, but I'm in charge today. All right?
-Since when are you ever in charge, hmm? -[scoffs]
Let's not change tradition if we don't have to.
Winner gets to call the shots.
Okay.
Ready?
-Cham cham cham! -Cham cham cham!
[Ho-jae sighs]
[blows] I win.
-Not fair. -Mm-hmm.
Since you're the loser, I'll drive as well.
Let's go.
Cham cham cham. Cham cham cham.
Why can't I do it?
[scanner beeping]
[cashier] Sixty-eight hundred won.
[door chimes ringing]
[uneasy music playing]
[bag zipping]
[Yong-gil sighs] Jeez.
Hey, Ho-jae.
You know we gotta pay off the loan interest this week, right?
If you can't get a clear photo to use as evidence today,
we won't get paid, and the creditors will start coming for us.
And before we can blink, the office will get seized,
and we'll be sleeping on the streets.
Yong-gil, something I've always wondered.
Yeah?
The debt you've acquired has nothing to do with me,
so why do I have to help you pay it again?
That's a good question. It's because, uh…
Well, I am the president of Bugang, and you are the vice president.
Oh yeah? Since when?
Here, put these on. Here.
Hey, Bugang is an inheritance from Grandpa.
I mean, who else is gonna protect the company if we don't?
You, me, us. We have to protect it together, all right?
Strictly speaking, he's your grandpa. Don't know how I got involved.
Hey, you know how much my grandpa loved you, right?
Yes, you always say that, but I don't remember.
Also, don't forget the fact that you and I got no place else to go besides Bugang.
Hey, that's not true. You know, I'm in really high demand.
Cham cham… cham.
I'm in charge. Here.
Take this and go. We don't have all night. Don't let 'em see you.
Go, go, go. Hurry. Get going.
Come on!
You didn't get their faces last time.
-Get the faces. -Blah, blah, blah, blah.
[Yong-gil] If the angle sucks, we get half the pay!
Love you, Vice President!
Remember, don't just get the body. Get the whole face.

They must be preoccupied, huh?
Hey, stop. Don't do that. Sheesh.
You sure room 608 is the right one?
Yeah, I'm positive.
It's room 608.
[mysterious music playing]
I really don't have a good feeling about this.
Should we call it quits?
Ho-jae, we need this. All right?
We have to pay off the interest this week. I told you.
Otherwise, we get evicted, remember?
We don't have a choice. We've gotta get the evidence today.
[mysterious music continues]
[Yong-gil] Hey, just barge in there, okay?
You have the master key I gave you, right? Open the door with that.
And just take one picture. That's it. Then you're done, huh?

DESERTER ELIMINATED
[unsettling music playing]
[reverential music playing]
[camera shutter clicking]
[dramatic music playing]
[sobbing]
[music swells to crescendo]
I'm telling you, she was a total pro.
I mean, she knew how to fight, position her shoulders, everything.
And what else do you remember?
Hey, I already told you everything.
It was pitch-black. I could barely see at all.
And she kept throwing punches over and over and then--
[grunts]
[eerie music stab plays]
That's everything.
What were you thinking, Ho-jae?
Without any evidence to corroborate your story, you will take the fall.
-Hmm? What do you mean? -Are you serious?
You were trying to catch two people having an affair,
but it all backfired in the end.
It resulted in a fight between the parties.
One ended up dead.
-No! -Hey, that's not true!
The only fingerprints we found at the scene
were your fingerprints, Mr. Jang.
I told you that guy was already dead. This is unfair.
The victim's blood was also found all over your clothes.
How do you explain that?
Because I was fighting with the woman, and she threw me all around the scene.
Yes, exactly. I witnessed it on video.
Ho-jae was getting his ass handed to him by her.
-Right? -Shut up.
Okay, but he's not the type of person to kill someone.
I swear to you, Captain Yuh. See? I got you.
I told you guys to stop fooling around with all this private detective business.
Didn't I?
How many times have I told you to stop wiretapping people
and recording people without their consent?
It's against the law.
Yes, you did. You told us all this, Captain Yuh.
Look at this. Look. This is blackmail.
All of these pictures you have are illegal and taken without their consent.
All people caught in the act.
I can barely look at these. I'm so embarrassed for them.
Coming from the person who keeps looking at them.
Hey!
You give me no choice.
You both will have to be locked up on illegal filming charges for this.
Hold your horses. That's extreme, don't you think?
Why are you doing this to us?
You know how it's been.
In the beginning, see, we, um…
we started out in commerce and trade in the global market.
Although, in this worldwide economic recession,
tiny companies like us have been crushed down to dust.
We're just trying to put food on the table.
That's all it is. So we got into a little side hustle very, very briefly.
But you know us, Captain.
[laughs] You know us.
[laughs]
I'll be quiet now so you two can continue talking.
Let's stop the charade, okay?
Tell me what this is about.
What?
It's pretty obvious you're just trying to scare us with these charges.
You must want something from us here.
So tell me what it is you want.
Find this person.
-Huh? -What?
You can't be serious.
Wait, the police should--
Shouldn't you be looking for the criminal? Why would we help?
We already arrested our key suspects, but you said that this is unfair, so…
If you really feel that way, then help us out.
A word, Captain Yuh?
Captain, please. This is a little bit--
[Captain Yuh] What? You can't do it?
That's fine.
Jang Ho-jae, you can just stay right where you are
as the prime suspect in this murder.
Pretty soon, your name and face will get plastered all over the news.
You'll be famous.
I told you I didn't kill anyone!
That's what I'm trying to tell you right now.
If you didn't do it, find out who did, or you'll take the fall.
In the end, I still have a case to solve.
The person who was at the scene of the crime
when the victim was murdered was you.
So, currently, the prime suspect is you, okay?
You do your part,
and we'll revise our report before anyone sees it.
Well, Captain Yuh, I'll have you know
you really suck
at your job there, buddy.
Well, you're one to talk.
I'll give you ten days. Find whatever leads you can for now.
Who the person is. If it's really a woman or a man.
And what kind of psycho they have to be to go around killing like this.
If you can't do it, just tell me. I'll go ahead and arrest you now.
What will it be?
[Ho-jae sighs]
[mysterious music playing]
[Yong-gil sighs]
Ho-jae, we're really screwed with this whole thing, aren't we? Right?
[woman] Are you sure this is okay? They're both civilians.
How can they go up against a serial killer?
Remember that creep we nabbed about two months ago?
You had just transferred to the Violent Crimes Unit.
The sex offender who targeted female college students?
The pain in your neck for over three years?
Mm-hmm. Those two found the guy.
What?
The guy, Jang Ho-jae? He's way better than he lets on.
So don't worry about them.

JONGNO-GU SERIAL MURDER CASE
OH KI-HOON (29 YEARS OLD) BODYGUARD AT JEONSEUNG BIOTECH
[music fades]
[owner] We haven't opened yet, sir.
How can I help you this time?
Your… your contact, Silverbill, I want to meet them now.
Sir, what happened to your son was quite unfortunate,
but there was nothing we could do for him.
I've refunded your deposit. It should be in your account in a few days.
There's no need. Cancel the transfer.
Sir?
I wanna hire the Silverbill to look for someone.
Who were you thinking?
Find whoever killed my son for me.
Whatever it takes. I want him to face justice for this.
Please!
[Madam Na] So what do you think?
The client wants you to find whoever killed his son
by whatever means necessary.
[wistful music playing]
Ho-jae, listen.
Why don't we leave Seoul for a bit instead of doing this, huh?
How about Osaka? Or Singapore.
Or should we just book it to Hawaii?
Have you considered the possibility that traveling abroad
might make it look as though I am the culprit?
Do you want me to be a globally wanted man?
No, that's not what I meant at all.
What I'm trying to say is that
we should get away from the danger for a while.
What if you end up getting hurt in all this?
You got money to go to Hawaii?
No, of course I don't. We'll find a way though.
Listen, in times like this, you can't run away.
You've gotta find a way through it.
Let's be practical for once.
What does that even mean "be practical?" This is a murder case.
You actually think you're gonna find the killer or something?
What's this for?
Let's start by sharing that photo with all of our informants.
Tell them to be on the lookout for anyone who looks like the woman in the photo.
Ho-jae, are you really doing this?
The other option is that, in ten days,
everyone in the country will think I am the killer.
I'd rather live a quiet life, my friend.
Help me out, all right?

Ho-jae. Our guys in Sinsa-dong.
They were taking pictures of a building to quote a job,
and they just happened to see her standing there.
They saw her multiple times since then, so they say.
Apparently, she appears right before sunset
and just sits there until it gets dark.
Where in Sinsa-dong?

SILVERBILL
[phone line ringing]
-[call connects] -You sure about this?
You're really going to accept this job?
Under one condition.
Once I find him, I take him to the police. No exceptions.
Tell him that I don't take jobs based on personal vengeance
and that I won't accept unless he agrees to my terms.
What in the world are you thinking?
You used to never take jobs like this.
But you're gonna find the killer for him all of a sudden?
I have a few questions I want answered.

Why don't we face each other first?
You move, you get hurt.
Do you know an Oh Ki-hoon?
You a detective?
No, I wouldn't say that.
I'm only looking for the person who murdered Oh Ki-hoon.
Well, it wasn't me. You guessed wrong.
So then, why were you there?
It was you I fought, right?
I'm right, aren't I?
