People still believe in the notion of privacy.
They have a ridiculous idea that the Constitution protects their privacy.
But is that really true?
We live in a world where we feel
like losers if we don't share our private lives.
So we share and sometimes steal people's private lives.
For our personal interest,
we collect, analyze, and use the private lives of others.
Right now, Korea is facing the era of shared privacy while we are engaged
in a war of privacy.
The worst are the people who take advantage of the private lives of others.
So I'm going to find out who those bastards are.
That tenacious dog.
But why did the dog suddenly stop chasing me and disappear?
Why
and when did it start going wrong?
Was it because of President Choi's ledger?
Do you admit to the charges?
Did you embezzle over 100 billion won? Please answer my question.
I will fully cooperate with the investigation.
Prosecution summoned President Choi
of UI Construction for embezzlement,
professional negligence, fraudulent accounting, and so on.
-He showed up at 9:30 a.m. -It's not like you to watch the news.
Hey, how many times must I tell you?
Documentary producers like us must stay up-to-date with the current events.
This is good information.
Okay. I just need to check out my favorite band.
-You brat. -No.
-This means war. -Mom, are you mad?
-Come over here. -Stop it!
-Honey, help me out! -Stop it!
-Count me out. -I told you to stop.
-Hey! -Goodness.
-Hey. -Let go of me.
-At a press conference yesterday, -What are you doing?
-No! -he insisted his innocence.
I'm innocent.
I did not embezzle any money.
On top of that, I did not use any illegal means such as fraudulent accounting
or cash advance loans for personal monetary gain.
How much can you offer for each project?
I'm sure you already heard
I'm the best in this industry.
Previously, President Choi claimed he fell victim to political revenge.
However, President Choi was suspected to keep a secret ledger for bribes…
This is from the prosecution.
Do they have it then?
No.
If the prosecution had the ledger,
they wouldn't use a scare tactic like that.
They'd just use the evidence.
They want you to think they have it like you assumed.
They're warning the people on the list to play nice.
That they'd better not think about
reforming the prosecution and stay quiet unless they want to die.
PRESENT DAY, 2020
So what happened?
What is Joo-eun doing now?
Is she okay?
So you have
no interest in how I'm doing at all, do you?
Why would you say that?
Of course, I'd like to know how you're doing.
But this is pretty serious.
Joo-eun isn't answering her phone.
I'm just worried about her.
The guy who almost became your son-in-law is dead.
-What? -He died in a car accident
on the day of the wedding.
What--
So we don't know if this bastard had set our daughter up on purpose
or if he had been forced to con our daughter.
Oh, Lord.
Another unfortunate soul has joined you.
Please take good care--
Drop your act when you're with me.
Please take care of him. Amen.
I'm here again to tell you how messed up her life has become.
Because this is all your fault.
On the other hand, I am very happy.
My business is getting bigger day by day.
You're awful.
If you feel that way, my goal has been fulfilled.
Oh, Father.
Any calls for me?
I want a cup of coffee, too.
Is she going to pay my wages or what?
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
You're here. Have some coffee.
I have such a big heart. I couldn't show up empty-handed.
I've brought a cake, too.
Seriously?
Is ignoring me your way of getting back at me?
I noticed the hard drive was gone.
Oh, my. Who is this?
I almost didn't recognize you.
You've aged so much since I last saw you.
It makes me happy.
Are your eyes already going bad already?
Gosh. Look at your dirty clothes.
Did you build a sandcastle with your friends at the playground?
I planted trees to lower the micro-dust level.
That's understandable.
People like you
won't be able to understand the noble value of community service.
You must be desperate. You came back pretty quickly.
They say that bad relationships can get better over time.
I'm starting to find your rudeness adorable as time goes by.
I'm a saint, you know.
Old lady, you'd better speak nicely to me,
so that I can be nice to you.
When will you grow up? I'm mature, not old.
Just now, I wasted my time ditching a college kid who was chasing after me.
Why? Is his father a widower?
What a good son.
You're so immature.
Do you think you can make me feel like a loser if you mock me like that?
I already did. I can feel a loser vibe from you.
Gosh, I should ventilate the place.
You know, I was at a very important place just now.
Did you know that Edward has a puppy?
Aren't you dying
to find out where Edward is now?
Fine. If you want to brag, make it quick.
I'll listen.
You should ask me politely.
Gosh, what a piece of work you've grown up to become.
It's all thanks to you.
Fine.
It's no big deal, and I'm sure you've been dreaming about this moment.
Please, do tell.
Please, tell me.
What's your relationship with him?
DANGER
This secret ledger had personally been filled out by President Choi.
Along with a list of politicians
and high-ranking public officials he had sponsored,
there's also a list of the dates, places, and amounts of bribes he gave out.
-Police. How can I help you? -Someone's died.
The killer is here.
The killer is here!
Who are you?
Are you up?
Who am I?
Let's just say I saved your life.
You can thank me with all your heart. You can mean it.
What do you want?
You should beg me, not ask questions.
Beg for your life.
Beg me to tell you how to save yourself.
Someone's been calling you. Answer it.
You called the police.
The call got cut off. They'll want to follow up.
It's fine. You can answer it.
Answer it and tell them the truth and everything you witnessed.
You can just leave me out of it as I saved your life.
Oh, right.
I need you to do something before that.
You're ridiculous.
What do you want? Who are you?
Don't move.
Do you watch the news?
Even if you don't, I'm sure you heard about President Choi.
I used to be a news anchor.
At which TV station? I don't remember seeing you on TV.
It was local.
Then, you must know
what this is.
What will happen if people find out about this?
Is that why
President Choi was killed?
Bingo.
And right now,
you're in danger for witnessing the scene.
The whole world will be looking for you.
So put it down.
I know you won't shoot me.
Don't come near me. Stop.
Stop right there, you bastard!
Think about it.
Who do you think is trying to lend you a helping hand right now?
Who do you think you should join hands with?
Isn't there a backdoor?
You will leave the country as Gil Heum-mi, a Korean Chinese woman.
But you will return
as Sophia Chung.
Do you have any cold beer or something?
No, I don't.
There's a lot.
Don't drink it. It's mine.
You have one too. You must be frustrated. It'll make you feel better.
Forget it.
I won't drink with you.
What's my relationship with him?
I told you. He was my student teacher.
Come on. Don't act like a rookie.
I'm the one who has the intel you want.
What?
Aren't you desperate enough?
No way.
Edward!
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Edward!
Goodbye.
Edward, you son of a bitch.
Does the reason matter?
What's important is finding him.
I'm going to find Edward,
and ask him myself.
I guess many things have made you furious and hurt your pride.
Aren't you the same?
You have a lot to ask Spy Lee.
That makes me wonder
why Spy Lee died
on his wedding day, of all days.
I know quite a few police officers.
Don't you think we should drink together?
I do.
I feel like our target is being narrowed down to one man.
It looks like
he's the only one who'd do that to Spy Lee.
Kim Jae-wook?
Who else?
Look, old lady. Stop trying to make up weird stories,
and weaving them together.
Talk like a nun if you want the information I have.
Talk nicely and honestly.
I'm practically a nun and a bhikkhuni.
You can probably make a rosary with my sarira.
You know
what Spy Lee's last mission was.
I can't eat delicious food or go travelling if I don't work,
so I work.
I don't understand.
-Life is boring. -Excuse me.
If you don't mind, could you spare me five minutes?
Why should I?
If you laugh in five minutes, give me another five minutes.
Can you guess how we became friends?
Through college?
Cheongpa Women's Correctional Institute.
We were cellmates.
This is new.
I took the courage to come here despite the embarrassment.
I'll retreat for now, but I'll be back.
He's cool.
Why did you reject him so frankly?
Cheongpa Women's Correctional Institute.
What a way to reject someone.
Am I that unattractive?
Let me see it first.
All right.
-How's it going? -Yes, it is.
If you're stuck or if you feel you're incapable,
ask for help anytime.
I'll cover for you.
Just keep stalking celebrities.
Didn't you know? I transferred to the Yeouido Team.
You punk. You're terribly uninformed.
The Civil Team.
You know why you guys are called shadows, right?
To put it simply,
it means you're my shadow.
So follow along,
okay?
Anyway, call me whenever you're in trouble.
-Seok-ho. -What?
Actually,
I need your help.
Really?
What is it?
Go ahead. Tell me.
Please lend me 10 million won.
What?
Look at your face, jerk.
Go check yourself in the mirror.
That's who you are.
That son of a bitch…
So, Jeong Yoon-kyung, who we thought died, is actually alive,
and Arsonist Kim was the one who helped her?
Yes.
They've been partners since then,
but it seems like they recently had a falling-out.
That's why she went to the detective agency.
Yes.
Why did Arsonist Kim
do such a thing without telling the company?
I wasn't able to find out why yet.
Fine.
Hand the case over to UI and get your hands off it.
You don't want to be tangled up
with President Choi's suicide.
It could cause a misunderstanding.
Let's stop here.
I'll contact UI.
Hand it over yourself.
-Sir. -Go on.
I'll take it until the end.
GK should know about every information,
and sharing information
with other companies isn't what GK should do.
Even if we keep the case,
the Yeouido Team, not the Civil Team, will be in charge of the case.
Plus, we'll make a move after UI does.
Got it?
Don't you know I'm doing this because I care about you?
The report was made under your name.
I'll leave the report up to you.
CAUSE OF DEATH: DROWNING
You're doing this because you're in denial.
That report will become fake.
JEONG YOON-KYUNG
If you understood, go hand over the file, okay?
Yes, sir.
UI will send over a female employee
wearing a yellow hairpin.
Good choice. Pajeon is the best.
We met in the pub in Cheongdam-dong.
Bye, then.
9 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING
SOPHIA CHUNG
-Poong-yeon. -Yes?
Can you play the dashcam?
SPY LEE
Why aren't you picking up?
Men in suits are tailing me.
Can you look into it for me?
I'm the type who enjoys solitude,
so you're the only one I can count on.
You'll help me, right?
-This is Spy Lee. -Did you look into it?
Your information
has been handed over to UI.
What?
I'm saying Jeong Yoon-kyung's information
is in the hands of
President Choi's second son Choi Yong-jin, the president of UI.
Who the hell are you?
As you well know,
you have to be careful
who you choose to side with to survive.
Why has UI entered the picture all of a sudden?
I found out about you and Kim Jae-wook
while I was investigating.
Kim Jae-wook?
Edward Kim. Kim Jae-wook is his Korean name.
Kim Jae-wook…
KIM JAE-WOOK
Did you work at GK?
I used to.
Before that, I was with the NIS.
And before that,
I worked at the Office of Civil Affairs.
What a colorful life.
You'll end up
like me soon.
So,
you sold my information?
I'm sorry about that.
Then, Edward,
no,
what about Kim Jae-wook? Did you give them his information?
No.
Because I haven't found him.
You're such a scumbag!
Listen carefully, Ms. Jeong.
Forget about Kim Jae-wook
if you want to live.
So
pack your bag and leave the hotel now.
Leave right now.
-Get the door! -Okay.
-Push. -Hurry and push.
-Push! -Push harder!
-Move back. -Pull it back!
Hey!
Catch them!
Damn it.
You don't just own a detective agency, do you?
You do something else, don't you?
I'm just highly interested in conglomerate matters.
Fine. I didn't think you'd spill that easily anyway.
Then who are you?
Are you a witch or a prince charming?
Which one are you?
Consider me a genie.
I just help those in need.
"In need"?
Fine.
Since we've come this far,
I guess I should listen to your story.
How much do you know about me?
Answer this first.
Why are you so important?
What do you mean?
Why does UI need you?
That's because…
Don't you know?
That I'm the witness?
If that's what this was about,
then they wouldn't have sent those men.
They would've sent a hospitable attorney
and would've escorted you out.
They only send those men
when they're after something.
The men who won't hesitate to torture you a bit
to make you spill about something they want.
That's what they do.
Is it the ledger?
President Choi's ledger.
Do you have it?
No.
I don't.
Kim Jae-wook has it?
Did you hand it over to him?
That means
you have no more cards to play.
Leave this country right now
if you want to live.
Honey, are we going swimming today?
Yes, we are.
Excuse me.
What are you…
doing?
-What is this? Let's go. -Okay.
Goodbye.
Were you hiding behind me?
No, I wasn't.
That upset me a little.
What were you craving again?
-Jjamppong. -All right.
Their tangsuyuk tasted the best.
Where's the key?
-It's right here. -Come on. You startled me.
All right.
How could you do this to me?
Honey, let me explain.
Forget it. I can't believe I trusted you all this time.
No, let me explain.
I want to be alone! Don't follow me!
Honey, wait up! Honey!
Hold up, honey! Wait for me!
Honey, I said I was sorry.
Whatever.
Gosh.
FULL
Take the next one.
-It's over there. The red one. -Okay.
Where are we headed?
So you're saying
that Kim Jae-wook is the one who sent those men to the hotel?
Then who else?
I was planning to spend some time
in Puerto Rico meditating and doing some thinking.
But it all felt slightly unfair.
That's why I came back,
but Spy Lee had already passed away.
You also think he was murdered, don't you?
If not, how could you explain
why he went so far away on his wedding day?
Unless someone dragged him there.
Kim Jae-wook.
Hey, sit down.
I heard
that UI made a move yesterday.
Is that so?
What do you think happened?
Do you think they caught Jeong Yoon-kyung or not?
I'm not sure.
They failed.
Someone must've told her.
She got on a plane and left the country.
I got intel that UI's pondering whether to fly out or not.
That's not our business anymore, so I couldn't care less.
It's all done.
-Sir. -What is it?
What are you planning to do with Kim Jae-wook?
What do you mean?
Are you going to let him be?
Do you think Arsonist Kim could do something single-handedly?
He's not the type to stay put.
I don't know what you're thinking,
but you don't need to worry.
UI will take care of him for us.
That's why we gave them the files.
Yes, sir.
It's tough, isn't it?
Is it for you?
I'm having a blast. I always enjoy what I do.
Then continue living that way.
You're the only one among the team managers.
The only bachelor.
Right.
What if they find someone for you?
They don't care about the face, personality, or preferences.
They'll set you up as long as you have similar backgrounds.
You know where you came from.
You grew up in an orphanage.
In addition, you're a scholarship student.
You'll meet a headstrong woman like you.
And I'm pretty sure
she'll be hideous.
I have a girlfriend.
I'm meeting her parents and getting married soon.
So prepare a good gift for me.
Hey.
Does she know?
About your detective agency?
You better not get caught.
Don't ruin GK's reputation.
What should we eat?
Jeong-hwan?
-Jeong-hwan. -Yes?
What do you want?
Right.
Why are we here?
-What? -Why did we come here?
We could've just ordered in. This is troublesome.
Yoon-seok, I'm afraid you'll have to eat alone today.
What?
Fine. Hold on.
May I sit with her?
Excuse me.
My friend has an umbrella.
You can take this.
-Thank you. -Sure.
-Joo-eun. -Jeong-hwan.
Why are you so late? I got soaked.
GROOM: LEE JEONG-HWAN BRIDE: CHA JOO-EUN
Congratulations.
Thank you.
GROOM: LEE JEONG-HWAN BRIDE: CHA JOO-EUN
Darn it. She's really pretty.
And she's young.
Yes. Mocha, please.
Yes.
He controlled politics, the prosecution, the police, and the judiciary.
Every single one of them was on the take.
From what I know, there was no solid proof to prove anything.
Of course.
They all got away with it because he died.
MY HUSBAND
Yes, Jeong-hwan.
What were you up to?
Preparing dinner, of course.
I'm making bulgogi.
Gosh, that sounds tasty.
I forgot to buy some drinks.
Pick up some soju on your way home
if you want to eat this.
Okay. I will hurry.
By the way, is something wrong?
No.
Nothing's wrong.
Come home quickly. I miss you.
Okay.
He's calling for us!
Okay, I'm on my way.
Vivian, hand.
Okay. Turn around.
Bang!
Vivian.
I'm hungry.
Welcome home.
Hey, you're here.
Hey.
What's with the outfit?
Do you sing?
Are you a tenor? Or was it a soprano?
I'm a groomsman at my friend's wedding.
They do that in Korea?
Yes, quite often.
The file's safe, right?
-Of course. -Where is it?
Here. Good?
Good.
I'll be away on a business trip for a few days.
Keep it safe, okay?
I got it.
Bye.
Jeong-hwan.
You look quite good in a tux.
I'm sick of people telling me that I look good.
Cut the crap. It's making me sick.
Bye.
Yoon-seok!
Yoon-seok.
Yoon-seok! No!
No!
Yoon-seok.
Yoon-seok, wake up.
Wake up.
Open your eyes, you son of a bitch!
Yoon-seok.
Yoon-seok!
The file's safe, right?
-Of course. -Where is it?
Yoon-seok.
I'm sorry.
Yoon-seok…
PC GRAVEYARD
Fine.
I'll die.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
Vivian.
Find her!
I found her!
Where?
Over here, sir.
Vivian.
No!

PRIVATE LIVES
If Spy Lee had gotten greedy
and tried to take the ledger from him…
The person who helped Jeong Yoon-kyung
was me.
So you were her prince charming?
What kind of person was Jeong-hwan?
He was a beast.
Where is that bastard?
Sir. I'll be born again.
I thought you wanted me to forget him.
Don't force yourself.
If forgetting him is hard,
you can't, then.
