00:00:00Usurious lending always exists as a large network comprising numerous influential members,
00:00:06where the amount one wishes to borrow is not an issue.
00:00:09In fact, they do not even require repayment, only that one contributes their organs.
00:00:14The first party provides the loans, and if the debtor fails to pay back the principal
00:00:18and interest, they are transferred to the second party for handling.
00:00:22Female debtors are forced into prostitution, while men are sent to beg or work in flour
00:00:27mills. A commonality among the debtors, once they fall into the hands of the second party,
00:00:32is that they are all registered for life insurance. Once they are no longer of use,
00:00:36the lenders harvest their organs and then claim the insurance money, which all goes to the boss.
00:00:42This second party is known by the criminal police as the shadow. The police have been hunting them
00:00:47for many years, and finally, thanks to a female intelligence agent, they gathered evidence of
00:00:52the boss's misconduct and his location. After obtaining a recording and a video from the female
00:00:58agent, the police chief immediately implemented a plan. During a night raid, the special crime unit
00:01:04breached the shadow's lair and captured the boss, Song Hai Su. Though the organization seemed to have
00:01:10collapsed, three years later, the female intelligence agent suddenly disappeared. At that time, she was
00:01:17leading a very happy life with her boyfriend, a bank manager, building their small love story.
00:01:22That evening, Song Hee came home early to cook dinner for her boyfriend and was about to announce her
00:01:27pregnancy. She playfully asked him to buy fried chicken. However, when he returned home, she had
00:01:34vanished without a trace, leaving behind the engagement ring he had given her the day before.
00:01:39Distraught and heartbroken, Hyun frantically searched for his girlfriend for three days,
00:01:43but to no avail. Finally, from Song Hee's brother, Hyun learned of her pregnancy. Heartbroken,
00:01:50he bought a baby crib and then decided to report the disappearance to the police.
00:01:55The female police chief immediately recognized the photo of the girl as her former intelligence agent
00:02:00and promptly started an investigation. She visited Hyun's home to inquire about his relationship with
00:02:06Song Hee, which he described as a beautiful love story that blossomed in the rain, progressing like any
00:02:12other couple. However, during their acquaintance, she had suddenly disappeared for a year, which the
00:02:18police chief immediately understood. The year soon he disappeared was used to mentally recuperate
00:02:23after she had played the role of the boss's lover to gather crucial evidence for the police.
00:02:28Subsequently, the police questioned the vendor who had sold fried chicken to Doo Hyun.
00:02:33The vendor recounted that Doo Hyun's face was angry as if he had just heard some shocking news.
00:02:38Returning to Doo Hyun, he sat in the car he had once gifted his fiancée and discovered an unknown phone
00:02:44number. Gathering his courage, he called the number and was surprised when Shin, a well-known figure in
00:02:50the usurious lending community, answered the phone, revealing an unexpected connection to Song Hee.
00:02:56Doo Hyun then asked his friend to use the banking system to track the account and address linked to the phone
00:03:01number. The next morning, upon receiving the address, he immediately left his job to search for the person.
00:03:08He arrived at a place crowded with dilapidated buildings. Doo Hyun entered and stopped in front of a room,
00:03:14not daring to knock or contemplate the possibility of his wife betraying him.
00:03:19Suddenly, the sound of a latch from inside made him hide as a large, intimidating man came out and left in a car.
00:03:26Doo Hyun quickly followed by car, even sharing an elevator with the man in fear of losing him.
00:03:31The man noticed Doo Hyun's stare but did not recognize anything unusual, and Doo Hyun continued to follow
00:03:38him deep inside. Realizing he was being followed, the man pretended to tie his shoes, forcing Doo Hyun to
00:03:45pass by him. The roles of follower and followed were reversed. Doo Hyun remembered the room the lone shark
00:03:51had entered. Inside was Shin, and as he came out, Doo Hyun resumed tracking him to a high-end restaurant.
00:03:57Upon entering, Doo Hyun found both his colleagues and superiors there, as Shin was a VIP client of the
00:04:04bank. Doo Hyun was aware of this, having personally given Shin a cake a few days earlier to foster
00:04:10business relations with the bank. At the bar, Shin initiated conversation with Doo Hyun, who was too
00:04:16overwhelmed to respond, unable to understand what was happening. After the party ended and everyone
00:04:22left, Doo Hyun approached Shin to ask for his contact number. When Doo Hyun recited his number,
00:04:28Shin recognized him as the person who had called him the previous day with strange questions.
00:04:33Doo Hyun no longer pretended and directly asked where his girlfriend was. Hearing the name Sung Hee,
00:04:39Shin seemed confused, and at that moment, one of his subordinates came out, and he ordered them to deal
00:04:45with Doo Hyun. It was assumed that Doo Hyun was just a regular bank employee, but the investigative police
00:04:52recently discovered that he was formerly a Special Forces soldier in the Navy commandos, capable of
00:04:57defeating over a dozen men alone. Thus, Shin's two subordinates were no match for Doo Hyun, and seeing
00:05:03the situation turning against him, Shin immediately got into his car and fled. Doo Hyun quickly followed,
00:05:10leading to a tense car chase on a busy street. When they hit a red light, Shin turned his car
00:05:16and conveniently ended up at a police checkpoint seeking help. Doo Hyun, seeing the police, inexplicably
00:05:23ran away in the middle of the road and had to call the police chief to help clear the situation.
00:05:28When the police chief arrived to vouch for Doo Hyun, the traffic police insisted on checking the trunk of
00:05:34his car. Doo Hyun cooperated and pressed the button to open it. To everyone's surprise, the trunk contained
00:05:40the body of the boss, who had just been released from prison, making Doo Hyun the prime suspect in a
00:05:46murder case. Sitting in the police car, he was bewildered, recalling everything that happened over the past
00:05:52five days from Seung Hee's hesitation when he proposed to her, her sudden disappearance, and the presence of
00:05:58Shin's phone number in his car. Now, with the boss's body in his trunk, he was suddenly a murder suspect.
00:06:04According to the information the police chief gathered, the boss had left his organization the day Seung Hee
00:06:10disappeared. The chief suspected that the boss had confronted Doo Hyun about Seung Hee's past without
00:06:15realizing that Doo Hyun's punches could be lethal. The question arose whether Doo Hyun had killed the boss
00:06:21after discovering his past involvement with his girlfriend. To get a clearer understanding,
00:06:26the police chief personally entered the interrogation room to question Doo Hyun. He looked at the boss's
00:06:32photo emotionlessly and firmly stated, he did not kill him. However, when he began to blame the police
00:06:39chief for the tragedy that his girlfriend had endured, the chief realized that he knew about
00:06:43Seung Hee's past. Meanwhile, a police team was sent to collect statements from neighbors, but as is often
00:06:49the case, the neighbor's statements were exaggerated and didn't yield anything useful. The second police
00:06:55team went to the bank to question Doo Hyun's colleagues but discovered nothing unusual. Feeling powerless, the police
00:07:02chief returned to the detention room to truthfully inform Doo Hyun about the past relationship between his
00:07:07girlfriend and the boss. However, there was something the police chief didn't know, and Doo Hyun had also lost
00:07:14memory of it, that he and his girlfriend had first met under challenging circumstances. Before their beautiful
00:07:20relationship started under the rain, the police chief urged him to tell the truth about whether he had harmed
00:07:25the boss, but Doo Hyun consistently maintained that he needed to find his girlfriend. The police chief realized that to
00:07:32solve the case, it was essential to understand the relationship between Doo Hyun and Seung Hee. Given Seung Hee's past as a
00:07:39prostitute, the chief visited her former colleagues in the industry to learn about her first love, and discovered that
00:07:46Seung Hee had encountered Doo Hyun while she was working. At that time, he was a bank intern and drunk, and only she
00:07:53recognized him as her first love from high school. Seizing the opportunity while his friends were out, Seung Hee sneaked into Doo Hyun's room.
00:08:00She admired his face, long unseen, and impulsively kissed him, but he woke up without recognizing her. Thinking she
00:08:08was just a hostess, he embarrassingly offered her money, which deeply hurt and humiliated her, prompting her to
00:08:15leave. In fact, he had recognized her despite the circumstances and chased after her, but she was gone when he went
00:08:21outside. After his military service, he again sought her at a massage parlor, but didn't find her because she had
00:08:28already become an informant for the police to protect and clean her past due to him. Returning to the
00:08:33present, after understanding the roots of their relationship, the police chief received a report that
00:08:38surveillance cameras in the parking garage had recorded the boss looking for Doo Hyun. At this moment, Detective
00:08:45Kim followed the surveillance footage to each location the boss had visited. The boss stopped at the bank to
00:08:51call someone, then went down to the parking garage, and finally drove off to a corner of the street where
00:08:56he disappeared. Shortly afterward, the police chief arrived at the location, and although there were no
00:09:02cameras, she believed that Doo Hyun had followed the boss deep inside, and their final confrontation
00:09:07occurred at the far end of a cafe. Back at the police station, the police chief, in a fit of rage, grabbed Doo Hyun by the
00:09:15collar, accusing him of killing both his girlfriend and the boss after supposedly finding his girlfriend's
00:09:21past too shameful to tolerate. Despite these intense accusations and Detective Kim's sharp reasoning aimed at
00:09:27incriminating him, Doo Hyun remained calm and unemotional, not revealing any weakness, which surprised Detective
00:09:35Kim. Now it was the police, not the suspect, who lost their composure. Frustrated, Detective Kim, accompanied by
00:09:43two other officers, went to forcibly enter Doo Hyun's house in search of evidence. After turning off the
00:09:48lights and using a fluorescent lamp for better visibility, they finally discovered a trail of
00:09:54blood under the refrigerator, smeared across the floor. Upon learning the news, the police chief went into
00:10:00a frenzy and attempted to immediately imprison Doo Hyun. However, in the midst of this, a man appeared
00:10:06unexpectedly. Claiming that Doo Hyun was his young boss, he argued that it was wrong for the police to
00:10:12torture someone into confessing based on just a bloodstain without finding a body. Influenced by the
00:10:17sharp arguments of a lawyer, the police were forced to release Doo Hyun. Outside, his mother, who had been
00:10:23waiting in the car, revealed that Doo Hyun was not just anyone. He was the sign of the largest conglomerate in
00:10:29South Korea, seeking to hide his identity to build his own life. Returning home, Doo Hyun found his once cozy
00:10:36house now marked with yellow police tape. He collapsed into a pool of his girlfriend's blood,
00:10:42wondering what had happened to her, clearly showing he hadn't harmed her. Meanwhile, after thorough
00:10:47investigations, the police chief's team discovered that Seung Hee had visited a private clinic.
00:10:52It turned out that before her disappearance, she had received a threatening call from a crime boss,
00:10:58warning her to comply with his demands or her boyfriend would be harmed. Shocked by the threat,
00:11:03she miscarried on the spot, worried about her boyfriend. She quickly cleaned up the blood and
00:11:08left for the clinic, but she only rested there for one night before leaving early the next morning.
00:11:14Unsure whether to share this information with Doo Hyun, who was now deeply distressed,
00:11:19the police chief hesitated. Doo Hyun sat up all night without sleep, reminiscing about their high school
00:11:24days. Back then, he was strong enough to deter bullies, while she was the prettiest girl in school who
00:11:30felt insecure due to her poor background. Once, he stopped by her mother's fruit stall, and her
00:11:36mother eagerly approved of him as a son-in-law, which embarrassed him. Later, she confronted him,
00:11:42threatening him not to disclose her family's situation to schoolmates. In that moment, Doo Hyun found
00:11:48her endearing and gifted her an orange, marking the beginning of their mutual awareness at school.
00:11:54The way they looked at each other could not hide their adolescent love,
00:11:57and he proudly took her hand in front of his mother to help her overcome her shame in front of their
00:12:02mocking peers, replacing it with respect for her mother's hard work. When she was bullied by thugs,
00:12:08Doo Hyun didn't hesitate to fight them off single-handedly. He carefully pushed Sung Hee outside and locked the
00:12:13door, allowing her to truly feel his sincerity and protection for the first time. Thus, although they
00:12:19weren't officially in a relationship yet, Sung Hee regarded him as her first love. Their first kiss
00:12:25happened when Sung Hee, due to her family's circumstances, found herself at a crossroads.
00:12:31At that moment, Doo Hyun recognized her but pretended not to remember to avoid embarrassing her,
00:12:36which unexpectedly led to them missing each other for three years. She, risking herself for him,
00:12:42became the mistress of a crime boss to gather intelligence for the police, all to restart her life
00:12:47and reappear before him three years later with a new identity, beginning their unfinished love story.
00:12:53That's why he pretended not to know her, to give her the confidence to be a completely new version
00:12:58of herself beside him. Returning to the present, Doo Hyun sat until morning, then realized that if he
00:13:04continued to be weak, no one would be able to save his girlfriend, so he got up. The first lead he had
00:13:11was Big Brother Shin, but when he went to his lair again, he found that Shin had been beaten up by
00:13:16another gang and was being dragged away. Doo Hyun temporarily stayed hidden as Big Brother Shin was
00:13:22pulled into a car. As the car started, he blocked it and threw a rock at the windshield to provoke them.
00:13:29Two men chased Doo Hyun into an alley, but he successfully shook them off, then drove like mad to
00:13:34catch up with Masi Jin. Another gang leader kicked him and successfully stole the car to take Big Brother Shin
00:13:41away. They reached an empty lot where Shin finally confessed that he and Sung Hee's brother had once
00:13:47been friends, and her brother had borrowed a large sum of money through him, probably not enough to pay
00:13:52back. So now Sung Hee was taken by the shadow organization to settle the debt. This was the first
00:13:58time Doo Hyun learned about the shadow organization, confirming that it still existed and Haesu was not the head
00:14:04boss. The current boss was Director Sung. Just as he mentioned Director Sung, he called ordering Big Brother
00:14:11Shin to turn himself in quickly. Doo Hyun then snatched the phone to listen in. Director Sung, realizing who he
00:14:18was talking to and interested that he dared to steal his car, invited him to meet if he wanted to know
00:14:24everything. Seizing this opportunity, Big Brother Shin slowly pulled out a stun gun, and just as Doo Hyun turned
00:14:31around. Shin shocked him on the neck and ran off. When Doo Hyun woke up, he found himself being
00:14:37transported by Director Sung's men, who covered his head to prevent him from recognizing the route to
00:14:42Director Sung's hideout. Seizing an opportunity, Doo Hyun feigned a stomach ache and soiled his pants,
00:14:48forcing the gangsters to stop the car urgently for air. The two men tasked with taking Doo Hyun to the
00:14:54restroom to clean up found the situation disgusting and secretly untied him to clean himself. Unaware that this
00:15:00would allow Doo Hyun to counterattack. Once his hands were free, he easily handled these two small
00:15:06fries. The other men, noticing the delay, rushed into the restroom only to find that Doo Hyun had
00:15:12disappeared. Surprisingly, he ran off to wash his clothes because the suit was a gift from his wife.
00:15:18Director Sung, upon hearing that Doo Hyun had escaped, was furious but had to calm down when he received a
00:15:24call and obediently bowed to an older man. This man was the godfather, the head of the shadow
00:15:30organization, who valued loyalty and righteousness, and ordered Director Sung to find the killer of Ha-Soo.
00:15:37Director Sung had been working for the godfather for three years but was resentful as the godfather
00:15:42only valued Ha-Soo, yet he still had to follow the godfather's orders. Recognizing that Syl He was the
00:15:49woman Ha-Soo could never forget, he began to hunt for her. At the same time, Sung Hee's brother,
00:15:55seeking to find his sister, went to his brother-in-law's house asking for money to print flyers.
00:16:01However, Doo Hyun knew that this brother was only interested in money, as he had previously used his
00:16:07sister to borrow money for his high-interest loan sharking business. So a few extra dollars scanned from
00:16:13his brother-in-law meant little to him. The brother eventually confessed that Sung Hee might have
00:16:18borrowed money from a friend to pay off his debts, and that she was currently working at a massage
00:16:23parlor. Coincidentally, the police chief was also looking for this woman, Wang, who only confessed
00:16:29after being coerced. A few days earlier, she had borrowed money from big brother Shin and was unable
00:16:35to pay it back, leading her to call Sung Hee for help. But Sung Hee, lacking the funds and not wanting
00:16:41her boyfriend to know of her connection to a prostitute, hung up. Unexpectedly, the next day,
00:16:46Doo Hyun took the initiative to find Ms. Hwang to give her money, not wanting her to disturb
00:16:52Sung Hee's life or Sung Hee to feel ashamed of her past before him. After learning everything,
00:16:58the police chief finally agreed to leave. Just as she left, Director Sung arrived to question Ms. Hwang
00:17:04about Sung Hee. Ms. Hwang initially resisted revealing any information, but when Director Sung furiously
00:17:10used violence after tracing Sung Hee's number from her phone, she was compelled to speak out of fear
00:17:15for her life. She disclosed that Sung Hee was staying at a sushi restaurant owned by Boss Lee
00:17:21in Incheon. Director Sung immediately sent all his men to Incheon, leaving only one to watch over
00:17:26Hwang. Understanding the situation well, Hwang feigned a muscle cramp and used her charms to
00:17:32successfully escape. While fleeing, she called Doo Hyun, urging him to hurry to Incheon to rescue Sung Hee.
00:17:39Doo Hyun immediately turned his car around and sped towards Incheon. By the time the gangsters arrived
00:17:45in Incheon, they scored the area searching for the sushi restaurant where Sung Hee was hidden.
00:17:50Eventually, they reached Boss Lee's restaurant. Boss Lee, immediately recognizing that these were
00:17:55Director Sung's men looking for Sung Hee, protected her sister despite being slapped. Growing impatient
00:18:02with the futile talking, Big Brother Mei prepared to escalate the situation by pulling out a hammer to
00:18:07nail Boss Lee. Unable to bear it any longer, a staff member confessed that Sung Hee was at the port,
00:18:14catching a breeze. The gang split up, some staying behind to watch the staff while others rushed to
00:18:20the port. Shortly after, Doo Hyun arrived at the scene. He fiercely attacked the guard at the door,
00:18:26sending him flying through a glass window into the interior. Lee calmly assessed the situation after
00:18:31confirming that the person in front of her was Sung Hee's husband. She immediately informed him of the
00:18:36location where he could rescue someone. By then, the gangsters had already fled to the port,
00:18:41unseen, as Sung Hee was at a public phone booth calling Miss Wong. Wong, in a panic, urged Sung Hee to
00:18:48run, but it was too late. Director Sung's men had caught up and brutally punched Sung Hee in the stomach
00:18:54before carrying her off to their car. By the time Doo Kyung arrived, she had already fainted in the car.
00:19:01Meanwhile, Miss Wong, sensing something was amiss, promptly recounted everything to the chief of police,
00:19:07who immediately called her headquarters requesting support to head to Incheon. In Incheon, unable to
00:19:13bear his wife being taken away, Doo Hyun knocked down obstacles to block the car and then charged to
00:19:19fight the gang members hand to hand. His rage, built up over many days, turned him into a fierce beast,
00:19:26lunging at the enemy. He desperately wanted to seize the car and escape with Sung Hee, but the gang was too
00:19:32numerous. As soon as he fought off one group, another would attack. Struggling against a dozen men,
00:19:38Doo Hyun was momentarily distracted and was hit by a car driven by a gang leader, who then viciously
00:19:45beat him unconscious. The gang leader then called Director Sung to decide Doo Hyun's fate. However,
00:19:50Director Sung, having a favorable impression of Doo Hyun and feeling he posed no threat, decided to spare his
00:19:58life. Thus, Doo Hyun lay helplessly on the ground in pain, watching his fiancée being taken away.
00:20:04Regarding Director Sung, three years earlier, he had discovered that Sung Hee was an undercover agent
00:20:10who had secretly recorded a conversation by hiding a recorder in her thigh-high stockings and entering a
00:20:16room with Ha Soo. When a gang member reported that Ha Soo had allowed Sung Hee to leave first, Director Sung
00:20:22later found the drop recording, but chose not to expose her. Instead, he instructed her to safely
00:20:28hand over the recording to the police, aiming to overthrow Ha Soo and take over the shadow organization.
00:20:35Back to the present, Doo Hyun regained consciousness and immediately called the chief of police,
00:20:41requesting her to trace his phone's location, as he had managed to slip his phone into the pocket of one
00:20:47of Director Sung's gang members. At that moment, the gang member was searching for a lighter and almost
00:20:52discovered the unfamiliar phone in his pocket. But luckily, another gang member quickly handed him
00:20:58a lighter. As Sung Hee regained consciousness midway, the man sitting behind her seized the opportunity to
00:21:04harass her. However, Sung Hee calmly recalled the arm-twisting technique her boyfriend had taught her.
00:21:11She implemented this ruse by grabbing the man's hand, catching him off guard, and then suddenly twisted
00:21:16his arm behind his back. Seizing the moment, she grabbed the driver's collar. The situation inside
00:21:22the car became chaotic, causing the vehicle to veer off and crash into a roadside barrier.
00:21:28When the gang members in front ran back to check, Sung Hee had already escaped. Although they dispersed to
00:21:34search for her, continuing their hunt into the evening, Sung Hee, weak and exhausted, ran into an abandoned
00:21:41factory. Outside, the police chief and Doo Hyun also arrived at the location. Following the GPS signal,
00:21:48Doo Hyun entered the factory just as the gang leader discovered the misplaced phone. But it was too late.
00:21:54Doo Hyun was already ambushing the gang members from the shadows. Sung Hee, clutching her wounds,
00:22:00tried to flee and in fear, hid in a corner, holding her breath as she heard footsteps approaching.
00:22:05Her life hummed by a thread as she gripped a metal rod, ready to confront her fate. Suddenly,
00:22:11she lunged out, swinging her arm, but was restrained by the opponent. When she clearly saw the man's face,
00:22:18her body relaxed, caught off guard because it was Doo Hyun. He had brought the shoes she had dropped and
00:22:23carefully put them on her, holding back tears of pain. Sung Hee also cried, embarrassed to be found by her
00:22:30lover in such a state. But he did not see her as tainted. He embraced her, wanting to take her away
00:22:35to start a new life together. These were the very words Sung Hee had once spoken to him, which he
00:22:41remembered vividly. He carried her, trying to escape, but the door was blocked by the gang.
00:22:47Doo Hyun told Sung Hee to run in the opposite direction for the police chief to rescue her,
00:22:52while he stayed behind alone to face the gang. Knowing his strength was waning, he still struggled to
00:22:57hold them off to let his girlfriend escape as far as possible. His life was devoted to protecting Sung Hee,
00:23:04and he was willing to sacrifice it for her. As Doo Hyun was completely exhausted, the gang leader drew a
00:23:10knife and advanced towards him. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. The police chief had arrived, forcing the
00:23:16gang leader to flee. At that moment, as Sung Hee ran in the opposite direction, thinking she had escaped,
00:23:22a hand clutched tightly over her mouth, preventing her screams, and she gradually lost consciousness.
00:23:29Unexpectedly, it was Officer Kim who, seizing the opportunity, reported to the police chief that he
00:23:35could not find Sung Hee, and then hung up, handing her over to the gangsters. It turned out he was
00:23:41working for Mina, who was associated with Director Sung. When local police and an ambulance arrived,
00:23:47the gang quickly turned off their car lights to avoid detection before taking Sung Hee away.
00:23:52Doo Hyun, severely weakened, was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, while Sung Hee remained
00:23:58unconscious in the car of Director Sung's subordinates. Suddenly, a motorcycle sped up alongside the car,
00:24:04smashed its window, causing the car to lose direction and crash into a barrier, stopping the vehicle.
00:24:11Another car, belonging to a different faction, then boldly took Sung Hee away. When she awoke,
00:24:17Sung Hee found herself safely lying on a soft mattress. It turned out that Ms. Lee
00:24:21had rescued her. Upon learning that Sung Hee had disappeared again, Director Sung was furious and
00:24:28wanted to kill his useless subordinate, fearing that Sung Hee, if captured by the Mafia boss,
00:24:33would reveal his past wrongdoings against Hae Soo. Mina informed Director Sung that Officer Kim was
00:24:39currently searching for San Ho, who had been a close associate of Hae Soo. San Ho had fled abroad,
00:24:45but had now returned to the country. If they did not capture him before the Mafia boss did,
00:24:50he might reveal damaging information against them. Meanwhile, the Mafia boss also heard about San Ho and
00:24:56pressured his secretary to find him at all costs. Back with Doo Hyun, after a night in a coma, he was able
00:25:03to wake up. The first thing he asked the police chief about was the shadow organization. Unable to hide it
00:25:09any longer, she led him to the loan office of Boss Jin, who had flood. The office was a place where
00:25:15desperate people borrowed money, and if they couldn't repay, either they or their family members
00:25:20would be handed over to the shadow organization. The shadow organization would pay their debts in
00:25:25exchange for their servitude, and once they were no longer of value, they would be mercilessly disposed
00:25:31of. Sung Hee had helped the police capture the shadow organization's boss, Hae Soo, but now he was dead,
00:25:37and with Sung Hee missing, the shadow had seemingly resurrected and was now the current target of the
00:25:43police chief. At that moment, within the organization, the Mafia boss was making blood
00:25:49pudding while ordering Director Sung that within two days, he must find Hae Soo's killer, but he was not
00:25:55to kill him. Instead, he must bring him in for questioning. Outside, Director Sung ordered his
00:26:01subordinates to quickly hunt down San Ho and cut out his tongue before the Mafia boss could get to him
00:26:06and interrogate him. As for the murderer of Hae Soo, Director Sung planned to find a scapegoat later.
00:26:13At that time, sensing danger, San Ho was in a different location and proactively called the
00:26:19police chief to request protection in exchange for revealing Hae Soo's killer. He then arranged to
00:26:24meet the police chief at a park. Right after San Ho hung up, the door to his room was forcefully opened,
00:26:30causing him to panic and jump out the window to escape. The police chief and Do Hyun rushed to the park,
00:26:36with Do Hyun vigilantly observing the surroundings until he spotted San Ho hiding upstairs.
00:26:42As Do Hyun quickly ran up, just as San Ho picked up the phone to call the police chief,
00:26:47he was stunned with a stun gun and then dragged away by two masked men. When Do Hyun reached the spot,
00:26:53he only found San Ho's dangling phone and immediately reported that San Ho had disappeared
00:26:59before rushing off to continue the search. At the parking lot, Do Hyun saw a frightened girl
00:27:05and quickly ran over to check the situation. Inside the car, he found San Ho lying unconscious.
00:27:11From behind, someone struck him hard on the neck with a stick, causing Do Hyun to lose his ability
00:27:17to resist. The two were taken to a remote warehouse and handed over to the godfather's secretary for
00:27:23handling. Not wanting to get involved in unnecessary murders, the secretary ordered his subordinates to
00:27:28take Do Hyun elsewhere, leaving only him and San Ho in the warehouse. Instead of informing the godfather,
00:27:35he contacted director Sung to deal with San Ho. It turned out that in the past, these two had
00:27:41collaborated to bring down the boss Hae Soo, witnessed by Hae Soo's subordinates standing outside.
00:27:47To survive, San Ho had to flee, but unexpectedly, he was still unable to escape the secretary's grasp.
00:27:54The secretary betrayed Hae Soo because Hae Soo dared to brazenly take the godfather's chair,
00:28:00using his power to force the secretary to bow down in absolute submission. Humiliated and insulted,
00:28:06the secretary harbored a grudge and plotted revenge, while on one hand, director Sung, thrilled,
00:28:12led his men to the rendezvous point. On the other hand, Do Hyun, taken to a desolate place,
00:28:19was about to be abandoned there by two underlings who underestimated him and got beaten up by him.
00:28:24One of them had a knife, but even with his hands tied, Do Hyun was able to continuously strike
00:28:30and ultimately finished him off with a strong kick. He forced the man to drive him back to the warehouse
00:28:35to confront the secretary face to face. Recognizing Do Hyun's capabilities, the secretary quickly
00:28:42flooded. Do Hyun chased him outside but due to a lapse in attention, was hit by a car driven by another
00:28:48subordinate, aggravating his old injury and causing him pain. Seizing this opportunity, the secretary
00:28:54escaped in the car, leaving the place for Director Sung who was on his way. Do Hyun managed to call the
00:29:00police chief for help using a phone from the ground, but San Ho said they had to leave quickly and
00:29:05couldn't wait for the police anymore. Outside, Director Sung's forces arrived, and they moved inside
00:29:11searching for them. But to their surprise, only an empty chair remained. It turned out that the two
00:29:17had helped each other escape along the deserted road. San Ho intended to tell Do Hyun something
00:29:22important, but was too injured and passed out, forcing Do Hyun to carry him to seek help. A black car
00:29:29passed by and stopped, seemingly offering rescue, but the person getting out was Director Sung. His face
00:29:35covered but his silhouette revealing everything. Realizing his exposure, he swiftly stabbed Do Hyun,
00:29:41and then turned his knife on San Ho, stabbing him repeatedly. Do Hyun rushed to the rescue and was
00:29:48immediately cornered by Director Sung, who pressed into Do Hyun's wound, causing him immense pain.
00:29:54Director Sung intended to kill him, but the arrival of the police forced him to flee. Do Hyun tried to
00:29:59stop the bleeding for San Ho. The police chief chased after the suspect, but upon arrival, found only an
00:30:06empty car. At the hospital, the doctors were unable to save San Ho, and the clue to the murderer of
00:30:12Hai Su was lost. The Godfather, unaware of the Secretary's betrayal and believing the Secretary had lost San Ho
00:30:19to a bank employee, furiously forced the Secretary's face into a bowl of noodles until he passed out.
00:30:26Meanwhile, police officer Kim also wanted to find San Ho, but was unaware of his death,
00:30:32so he searched San Ho's room and eventually found a phone under the bed. Inside it were extremely
00:30:37important photos, and upon dialing the most frequently contacted number, it called Director Sung's number.
00:30:44Hearing San Ho's phone ring, Director Sung panicked, realizing the phone had fallen into someone else's
00:30:50hands. After confirming a few interesting details, Officer Kim began to print the photos from San Ho's phone.
00:30:56Meanwhile, after calming down, Do Hyun started recalling the voice of the man with the mask,
00:31:02and eventually realized it was Director Sung. To capture him now, they needed to find Boss Chin.
00:31:08However, when Do Hyun and the police chief arrived at his girlfriend's house,
00:31:12they found a chaotic scene where Boss Chin had already been captured by Director Sung's subordinates.
00:31:18At the same time, Sung Hee, hiding in Ms. Lee's villa, kept thinking about Do Hyun.
00:31:23She felt unworthy of him and thought that she lived another day. Do Hyun would exhaust himself
00:31:29searching for her, facing the dangerous underworld, so she wanted to end her life to protect him.
00:31:35Sung Hee was taken to a hospital, and a janitor recognized her as the girl reported missing,
00:31:40and immediately called the phone number on the poster. The first to receive the news was Sung Hee's
00:31:45brother, who quickly informed Do Hyun. Do Hyun and the police chief immediately rushed to the hospital,
00:31:51but Ms. Lee had arrived a step ahead, bribed the janitor, and then went to Sung Hee's room,
00:31:57but found no one there. It turned out that earlier, Sung Hee had heard the janitor calling her family,
00:32:03fearing Do Hyun would find her, and despite the pain, she fled the hospital, eventually encountering
00:32:09Ms. Lee. Despite being warned by her sister that this choice would lead to regret, Sung Hee decided to
00:32:15follow her and avoid Do Hyun. He, not finding the woman he loved, was distraught, running around the
00:32:21hospital, and was further pained when he heard that she had miscarried. From that moment, Do Hyun resolved
00:32:28not to forgive those who had pushed him and Sung Hee into this tragedy. His grief spread to the police
00:32:34chief, who also had a painful past. Her father was a loan shark, and upon his death, the truth that
00:32:40emerged made her a target of criticism. Only Officer Kim stood up for her, inspiring her to become a
00:32:46police officer. Returning to the present, Officer Kim once again met Mina and showed her the photos of
00:32:52Director Sung from San Ho's phone. Officer Kim expressed his unwillingness to work for Mina if she
00:32:58continued to pressure him, threatening to hand over the photos to the police if she did so. He then
00:33:03returned to meet with the police chief. Currently, the two were in a romantic relationship, and Officer Kim
00:33:09did not want to continue playing the role of the bad guy. Director Sung, after receiving the photos,
00:33:15burned them in anger. He left Boss Shin and his girlfriend and went with Mina to Officer Kim's house,
00:33:21then called to provoke him. Officer Kim instructed the police chief to stay and wait for him,
00:33:27not to wander off. He then immediately returned to Director Sung's house, using sensitive information
00:33:32about the police chief to provoke him, fearing harm to her, so he could not act rashly. Director Sung
00:33:39forced Officer Kim to continue cooperating with him, as they had previously collaborated to kill
00:33:44Ha Soo. Currently, Officer Kim could not disobey Director Sung. Returning to Sung Hee, her sister
00:33:50Lai took her home to explain that if she ended her life now, her husband would bear the consequences
00:33:56she had caused. So to save him, Sung Hee must personally end each culprit one by one, a statement
00:34:02that reminded Sung Hee of a recording she had not yet handed over to the police.
00:34:07Taking advantage of her boyfriend's absence, she sneaked into his house and found the recorder.
00:34:12However, as she was about to leave, she was drawn to a baby's cradle, and the pain of losing her
00:34:18child overwhelmed her, causing her to burst into tears. Meanwhile, downstairs, Do Hyun was approaching
00:34:24the house. As he opened the door and stepped inside, seeing his things washed and hung up to dry,
00:34:31he wondered if she had returned. Suddenly, the phone rang with an unknown number,
00:34:35but Do Hyun answered, correctly guessing that the voice on the other end was his girlfriend's.
00:34:41Moreover, she was standing across from him in the opposite building. He desperately pleaded for her
00:34:46to come back, but she felt utterly unworthy of his noble status. Do Hyun immediately countered this
00:34:52notion, pointing out that he didn't come from a perfect family. His biological mother's controlling
00:34:57behavior had numbed his emotions, but meeting Sung Hee had once again warmed his cold heart.
00:35:02She made him smile, even in moments when he was being scolded by his superior. At that moment,
00:35:09he wished they could just be together, loving each other without caring about anything else.
00:35:14Suddenly, two of director Sung's henchmen appeared upstairs. Do Hyun quickly warned his girlfriend and
00:35:19hurried across to her, while Sung Hee, also spotted by the men, swiftly ran down the stairs but ended up
00:35:26cornered. In her final moments, she managed to tell her boyfriend to retrieve the recording.
00:35:31The old security guard, bribed by the gangsters, missiled Do Hyun, causing him to lose track of
00:35:37Sung Hee. Once again plunged into despair, and after regaining his composure, Do Hyun followed the
00:35:44railing to find the recorder, and then contacted the police chief to hand it over. Both went to the
00:35:49station to restore the data contained within it. Meanwhile, Sung Hee had truly fallen into director
00:35:55Sung's hands, who praised her beauty, stiring Mina's jealousy. After the meeting with Sung Hee,
00:36:00director Sung ordered someone to bring Boss Chin to his office. At this point, debilitated and
00:36:07desperate, Boss Chin was coerced by director Sung, using his girlfriend's life as leverage,
00:36:13forcing him to take the blame for the murder of Hae Soo. Brought before the godfather, Boss Chin
00:36:18nervously accepted, and then spit out a piece of meat given by the godfather, confessing to heinous
00:36:24crimes. The godfather did not physically assault him, but instead, made him eat the piece of meat he had
00:36:30spat out, and then ordered director Sung to lock him up to face questioning later. This turn of
00:36:36events was unexpected for director Sung, as he had thought the godfather would immediately execute
00:36:41Boss Chin. If Boss Chin were allowed to live, it could expose director Sung's deceit, but he dared not
00:36:48disobey the godfather's orders. Although director Sung couldn't personally kill Boss Chin, he planned to use
00:36:54Officer Kim, asking him to arrest Boss Chin for the murder of Hae Soo. After obtaining Boss Chin's
00:37:00confession, the plan was to have him killed in prison, staging it as a suicide. The next day,
00:37:06Officer Kim led a team to the lobby, waiting for Boss Chin to surrender, as he had allegedly received a
00:37:12phone call from Boss Chin, confessing his intent to turn himself in. At that moment, Boss Chin,
00:37:18coerced by director Sung's henchman, was forced to hold a knife to leave fingerprints, and they also
00:37:24used his girlfriend as leverage to ensure his compliance. Eventually, Boss Chin arrived at the
00:37:30station with the knife, but at the last moment, he changed his mind. As he ran, he shouted to Dooh
00:37:36that he had seen Sung Hee. Officer Kim's men immediately gave chase. Dooh Young rescued Boss Chin,
00:37:42who promised that if Dooh Young helped him escape the police, he would lead him to the warehouse where
00:37:48Sung Hee was being held. In a high-speed chase, Dooh Young didn't think twice before accelerating,
00:37:54but they were soon blocked by cars in a tunnel. His eyes turned cold upon seeing that the person
00:37:59stepping out was Boss Ma, causing Boss Chin to cowardly flee once again. Boss Ma's two underlings
00:38:05gave chase, but seizing the moment when Boss Ma was alone, Dooh Young attacked, overpowering him.
00:38:11Without hesitation, he broke Boss Ma's wrist and then jabbed a pen into his leg.
00:38:17Boss Ma's screams kept the underlings at bay, and Dooh Young, pressing the sharp pen to Boss Ma's
00:38:23throat, demanded the location of Sung Hee. Boss Ma, undeterred by death, provoked him by claiming that
00:38:30her organs had been harvested. Just then, the police arrived, guns drawn, ordering Dooh Young to release
00:38:36Boss Ma. Powerless, Dooh Young let him go and was handcuffed by the police. Dooh Young insisted on
00:38:43telling the police chief that Boss Ma was part of the shadow organization and knew where Sung Hee was.
00:38:49While being transported, Dooh Young managed to break free from police control. Officer Kim arrived just
00:38:55as Dooh Young jumped from the prisoner transport vehicle and chased him. The chase continued through
00:39:00winding alleys until a turn where Officer Kim lost track of Dooh Young. However, when Dooh Young ran onto a
00:39:07main road, he was blocked by Officer Kim's car. Officer Kim got out and chased him, forcing Dooh Young to run
00:39:14up to an apartment building and onto the rooftop. Dooh Young, in a desperate move, leaped to the opposite
00:39:20building and hid behind a corner wall. Officer Kim, drawing his gun, chastised Dooh Young as a ruthless
00:39:27banker who forced others to repay loans, even if they knelt before him. Dooh Young could not recall ever
00:39:33having personally dealt with Officer Kim's debts. Suddenly, an old lady appeared behind Officer Kim,
00:39:39distracting him. Seizing the moment, Dooh Young dashed out and fled. Police Officer Kim quickly turned back
00:39:46and aimed his gun at him, firing shots. Officer Kim aimed his gun at him, but Young cleverly ran erratically,
00:39:54making it impossible for Officer Kim to aim properly, allowing him to escape over the red-tiled roof.
00:40:00However, the entire neighborhood was surrounded by police blockades. Suddenly, a bicycle caught
00:40:06Young's eye, and soon after, he was seen pedaling straight through Officer Kim's roadblock,
00:40:11escaping right in front of him. Officer Kim couldn't believe his eyes, and by the time he regained his
00:40:17composure, he hurriedly drove in pursuit. Young took advantage of the small bike to weave through the
00:40:22streets, rendering Officer Kim's car helpless, forcing him to take another route. But upon reaching the end of
00:40:29the road, all that was left was the bicycle haphazardly lying on the ground as Young had long since
00:40:35disappeared, having been rescued by a colleague. On the bike, Young reminded his colleague to keep an eye
00:40:41on the branch manager as he suspected him of colluding with a corrupt construction company and the
00:40:46underworld. After that, he immediately ran to the hospital to find Big Brother Ma. He wanted to stay
00:40:52there to get bandaged, but received an urgent call from Director Sung to return immediately. A while
00:40:58later, Officer Kim also arrived at the hospital with a team in pursuit of Young, who ran throughout the
00:41:04hospital looking for Big Brother Ma, missing him by just a second at the elevator. Unable to press the
00:41:10elevator button in time, Young had to rush down the stairs, where he encountered one of Officer Kim's
00:41:16subordinates, who immediately shouted, forcing Young to head up to the rooftop. Seeing Big Brother
00:41:22Ma about to leave in a car, Young didn't think twice and grabbed a fire hose to jump down, the hose
00:41:28stretching to its limits and landing him on top of a car. Big Brother Ma, seeing him, hurriedly urged his
00:41:35men to accelerate as Young tried his best to catch up but couldn't. Upstairs, Officer Kim had seen him, forcing
00:41:41him to continue fleeing. Throughout the evening, the police were still actively hunting, making it
00:41:47difficult for Young to escape the town. He sneaked into a convenience store to buy medicine and water,
00:41:53but encountered a patrolling officer and had to leave his items and flee quickly. Young temporarily
00:41:59drank hand sanitizer and continued his escape, but he realized that even on empty streets, there were
00:42:05still police blockades at the end, and as the days passed, the police cordon gradually tightened. At this
00:42:11point, Young took a risk and called the police chief for help, and unexpectedly, she trusted and agreed
00:42:18to help him. Seeing the police chief's car arrive, Young cautiously remained hidden in the shadows,
00:42:24observing carefully. Only when he saw that no one else was accompanying her, did he reveal himself.
00:42:30The police chief allowed Young to hide in the trunk, and as they approached the checkpoint,
00:42:35she successfully showed her police ID to pass the inspection. Upon seeing that the police chief was
00:42:40not heading back to the station, but was going in a different direction, a subordinate immediately
00:42:45informed Officer Kim. Hearing the news, he called his girlfriend to ask about her whereabouts,
00:42:51only to be told that she was heading back to the station. At this point, he realized that she was
00:42:56secretly helping Young. Meanwhile, after escaping from the police, Young immediately went to find Big
00:43:02Brother Shin. Both were now being pursued, and with his girlfriend kidnapped by Director Sung,
00:43:08they reluctantly cooperated to save each other. That night, they decided to follow Big Brother Shin's
00:43:14memory to rescue someone. At the same time, Director Sung, sensing the adverse situation,
00:43:20called his subordinates to prepare to dispose of Sung Hee. He ordered her to take a clean shower,
00:43:25but on the way, she pushed him down the stairs. Sung Hee struggled to escape, but eventually ended up in a
00:43:31large warehouse with no way out. They threw her into a room with a bed prepared for Director Sung,
00:43:37and shortly after, she saw through the door slit that he and his subordinates had arrived. Knowing
00:43:43that if they entered, her life would be over, she used all her strength to push a metal cabinet to block
00:43:48the door. Director Sung ordered his subordinate to unlock the door, and as they tried to push it open but
00:43:54were blocked, it only intrigued him more, and the subordinate started to break down the door. Sung Hee,
00:44:00hiding inside, could only close her eyes and pray as each one took turns slamming against the door,
00:44:06causing the cabinet inside to topple over. Director Sung advanced step by step towards Sung Hee,
00:44:12who, trembling, broke a beer bottle and positioned a shard at her neck. Just as he was only a few steps away
00:44:18from her, he received a call from his secretary. The boss was in his office, so he had to return
00:44:24immediately. Just as Director Sung left, Big Brother Shin and Hyun found their way there. Inside, taking
00:44:31advantage of the absence of guards, his girlfriend and Sung Hee used a lighter to burn the plastic ties.
00:44:37The plastic quickly melted, and his girlfriend threw the burning tie into a nylon sheet. With a guard
00:44:43still doozing in the room, Sung Hee urged her to run ahead to seek help, or they both would
00:44:48lose their lives. Elsewhere, when Director Sung returned to his office, he saw the boss sitting
00:44:54and eating there. Shooing on a piece of pork head, while saying he enjoyed this particular dish,
00:44:59then ordered his men to press Director Sung's head against the hot grill. The boss knew all about what
00:45:05Director Sung had done and gave him the chance to confess where the woman Ha Soo loved was. Suffering
00:45:10burns to half his face and screaming for mercy, he promised to bring Sung Hee from the warehouse back here.
00:45:17Hearing this, the boss immediately sent his men to the warehouse to pick her up. At the warehouse,
00:45:22the fire from the burning ropes had intensified, causing the door guard to catch fire and run in
00:45:27panic, making it difficult for Big Brother Shin and Doo Hyun to enter and rescue anyone. Ignoring the flames,
00:45:35Doo Hyun rushed upstairs into the fire searching for his beloved, and finally, in a corner of the room,
00:45:41he saw his wife who he had been searching for day and night. She was in extreme danger with burning
00:45:46wooden beams falling around her. As she looked towards him, a burning beam fell and hit his
00:45:51shoulder, knocking him unconscious. Downstairs, Sung Hee faced a similar tragedy, and Big Brother Shin
00:45:58quickly called for an ambulance. Shortly after, fire trucks arrived, and oddly, the firefighters only
00:46:04found Doo Hyun unconscious on the grass outside, and the police found a wallet that was nearly burnt.
00:46:10Inside was Sung Hee's ID card, and upon receiving the news, the police concluded that Sung Hee had perished
00:46:17in the fire. The boss, furious, wanted to cut off Director Sung's hand. He kneeled, begging for mercy,
00:46:24but to no avail. After being beaten by the boss's men, Director Sung was still alive but seriously injured.
00:46:31The police chief was the last to know about Sung Hee's death. At her funeral, she stood ashamedly to
00:46:37one side, not daring to enter, feeling guilty for not being able to protect her even though she had
00:46:43promised her a good life. However, back at the station, the police chief asked the forensic expert,
00:46:49and found out that Sung Hee's face was disfigured before it was nearly burnt.
00:46:53Hearing this, the police chief suspected a body double and wanted to order an autopsy,
00:46:59but the family, unable to afford the funeral costs, wanted to quickly cremate Sung Hee's body.
00:47:05The moment the coffin was pushed into the crematorium, and Sung Hee was officially declared dead,
00:47:10Doo Hyun in the hospital room suffered a severe seizure, but his strong will to live helped him overcome death
00:47:16and wake up. The first thing he said was to ask about the condition of his girlfriend.
00:47:21The lawyer tried to hide it, but eventually had to reveal the truth that she had died.
00:47:26Outside, Sung Hee's siblings used their sister's insurance money to open a large restaurant and
00:47:32escape their impoverished life. A few days after being discharged from the hospital,
00:47:36Doo Hyun immediately went to the restaurant to retrieve Sung Hee's belongings.
00:47:41The ultrasound image of their unborn child made Doo Hyun burst into tears like a child,
00:47:46marking perhaps the darkest period of his life. Everything before his eyes seemed to collapse
00:47:51from night to day, and day to night, and Doo Hyun just lay on the sofa refusing to eat. But then
00:47:57suddenly, Big Brother Shin came to him, asking about the whereabouts of his missing girlfriend.
00:48:03Hearing this, Doo Hyun's eyes suddenly sparked with hope that the body with the disfigured face was not
00:48:09Sung Hee. Doo Hyun started his investigation from the place where he was found, remembering that he
00:48:15had fainted inside the warehouse. So it was possible that Sung Hee was the one who dragged him out,
00:48:20returning home. Doo Hyun listened again to the last recording Sung Hee left, then found out that in the
00:48:26past, she was discovered by director Sung to be a spy. At that time, he was just a servant despised by
00:48:32Hae Soo, so he did not expose Sung Hee to keep her from handing Hae Soo over to the police.
00:48:38After listening, Doo Hyun went to the police chief to ask if she suspected anyone who might have exposed
00:48:44Sung Hee as a spy in front of director Sung. The police chief went back and searched the files of the
00:48:49surviving police officers from the shadow operation, and then realized that Officer Kim was among them.
00:48:56Actually, he was the one who revealed Sung Hee's spy identity to Mina, but the police chief did not know
00:49:01this. She only gave Doo Hyun the real face of director Sung to find the right person to take revenge on.
00:49:08Doo Hyun realized that if he wanted to find director Sung, he had to ask Big Brother Shin,
00:49:14who then talked about the boss, director Sung, and the shadow organization. He also mentioned the
00:49:20Sun Construction Company, a company collaborating with the branch bank manager to develop a new urban area.
00:49:26Afterwards, Doo Hyun went to Akali to get information about the branch manager,
00:49:31but found nothing. However, the next day at work, when he was called into the manager's office,
00:49:37he had the chance to meet director Sung, who had received orders from the boss to develop the Sun
00:49:42Construction Project and thus had to come to the bank to mobilize capital. Director Sung met Doo Hyun with
00:49:48an indifferent face, even pretending to be friendly by shaking hands with him in a polite demeanor,
00:49:53which made Doo Hyun almost not recognize him. However, just a minute later, he suddenly realized that
00:49:59his enemy was right in front of him, so Doo Hyun waited by the door for him to come out and then
00:50:05confronted him. Despite his hands shaking with anger, he still managed to suppress his rage and
00:50:11grabbed the other man's hand, even offering to escort him to the parking lot. After watching the man drive
00:50:17away, Doo Hyun followed him and eventually learned the address of his office. Soon, the police chief joined him in the car,
00:50:23and she reassured Doo Hyun that he must stay calm and not physically confront director Sung,
00:50:30as they needed to find evidence to take him down. Unbeknownst to them, they were caught on director
00:50:35Sung's camera. However, when director Sung saw the police chief exit the car and follow him, he assumed
00:50:42only she was tracking him, prompting him to call police officer Kim to warn him to keep a close eye on his wife
00:50:47if she continued to interfere, threatening to harm her severely. After issuing the warning,
00:50:53he met with the godfather to report on the funds he had raised from the bank, earning the godfather's
00:50:58favor and beginning to be trusted more. Jealous of this, the secretary secretly met with director Sung,
00:51:05demanding half of the secret accounts owned by Hye Soo, but director Sung refused. From that moment,
00:51:11a rift began to develop between the two, and meanwhile, as Doo Hyun delved deeper into investigating
00:51:17the Sun Construction Company, he made a shocking discovery that his own lawyer was involved. He
00:51:23immediately went to confront his mother, only to find out that she also had illicit dealings with the
00:51:28company. Doo Hyun warned her to stop, as he intended to personally shut down the company. Later, in a high-end
00:51:35Chinese restaurant, Sung Hee appeared in a luxurious outfit, revealing her new identity as a loan shark
00:51:42boss. Having joined forces with Sister Lee, she had a strong backing, and her near-death experiences
00:51:48made her fearless, causing veterans in the industry to tread cautiously around her. However, it was a
00:51:54coincidence that she was once a rival in the loan industry with Director Shin. Since Doo Hyun was
00:52:00targeting the loan sharks, Director Shin led him to the office of Dong Kong, where Doo Hyun
00:52:05Kong, without much talk, took down all of Dong Kong's henchmen. However, his purpose was not to start a
00:52:12fight, but to propose a collaboration with the boss there. Knowing that Dong Kong was collaborating with
00:52:17his godfather, he offered a deal to undercut openly, ready to provide financial support at low interest
00:52:23rates if needed. Upon returning, they accidentally ran into Big Brother Ma, a familiar figure in the
00:52:30underground power district. Frightened, Big Brother Shin quickly made an excuse to leave first.
00:52:36While Doo Hyun continued to follow him and discovered he was trafficking debtors, he immediately called the
00:52:41police chief for assistance. The police chief arrived alone, unaware that Officer Kim, worried for her
00:52:47safety, had also discreetly followed her. The police chief attempted a direct approach to draw attention,
00:52:54but this time, Big Brother Ma cleverly avoided a direct confrontation by escaping with the victim
00:52:59beforehand. By the time the police chief burst into the room, only food debris was left as all the
00:53:05debtors had been moved into a vehicle. Fortunately, Doo Hyun had ambushed the location earlier and defeated them.
00:53:12As he was about to interact more aggressively with Big Brother Ma, Officer Kim's car arrived, forcing
00:53:18him to flee. The police subsequently arrested the human traffickers. The police chief tried to reclaim
00:53:23her case, but Officer Kim insisted that he should handle it, fearing that if she got involved with the
00:53:29Godfather's people, she might be killed. The victims were rescued, and Big Brother Ma was taken to
00:53:34the station by Officer Kim. On the way, he received a call from Director Sung, and staged an accident to
00:53:41create an excuse to release Big Brother Ma. Angry, Big Brother Ma immediately went to settle scores with
00:53:47Dong Kong for collaborating with Doo Hyun. Fortunately, Sung Hee had also arrived to meet Dong Kong, but had not
00:53:53yet revealed herself to Big Brother Ma. After his anger subsided, Big Brother Ma and his group went to
00:54:00confront Doo Hyun. As Doo Hyun was helping the girl who had fallen from her bike, Big Brother Ma slowly
00:54:06approached with a knife hidden behind his back, just a few steps away from striking when suddenly
00:54:11a car with bright lights rushed toward them. Without thinking, Doo Hyun pulled the girl to one side,
00:54:17while Big Brother Ma was hit and thrown onto the car's roof, then fell to the ground. The driver was Sung Hee,
00:54:23who did not look back at him. Her people quickly got out, threw Big Brother Ma into the trunk,
00:54:29and drove off. The girl who had fallen was actually a debtor coerced by Big Brother Ma,
00:54:34and upon learning this, Doo Hyun promised to help her return to her family.
00:54:39After Officer Kim lost Big Brother Ma, the police chief could not help but become suspicious.
00:54:45She went to the hospital to find him, but he was not there. However, when she drove back,
00:54:50she saw him entering a bar, which made her break down in tears as her suspicions were confirmed.
00:54:56The person she trusted the most turned out to be a criminal spy, a shock too great for the police
00:55:01chief. But when she entered the bar, she was immediately spotted by Mina's vigilant associates,
00:55:06which allowed Officer Kim to escape in time. However, the police chief only needed a quick
00:55:12glance to recognize that Mina was once a madam in the prostitution industry. Returning to Sung Hee,
00:55:17she took Director Mei to Sister Lee, whom he had once threatened with a hammer. And now it was her turn for
00:55:23revenge. Sister Lee's subordinates raised the hammer, terrifying Director Mei into confessing that
00:55:30Director Sung had sent him to capture Sung Hee. Sister Lee then took his phone and called Director Sung.
00:55:36Hearing the name Lee Jin-sik, Director Sung froze for a few seconds, while Mina was stunned,
00:55:41recognizing her former boss. Director Sung remained arrogant until Sister Lee threatened to tell the
00:55:47godfather that he had killed Ha Soo, which genuinely frightened him. Sister Lee hung up and ordered her
00:55:53people to take Director Mei away. Sung Hee feared he would tell Director Sung that she was still alive,
00:55:59but Sister Lee didn't think so because, by now, Director Mei had become a betrayer in Director Sung's eyes,
00:56:06and returning would mean death. He was dropped at a crossroads and left to fend for himself. Meanwhile,
00:56:12Officer Kim, unable to face the police chief, disheartened, sought out Doo Hyun to go drinking.
00:56:18In fact, Officer Kim had long been fed up with working for Director Sung, especially since he had
00:56:24directly threatened his girlfriend, and he wanted to join forces with Doo Hyun to completely eradicate the
00:56:29criminal organization to protect the woman he loved. The police chief gave Doo Hyun a picture of Mina,
00:56:35a madam in the prostitution industry, and having obtained the information he needed,
00:56:40Doo Hyun began intense physical training to prepare for a major battle. A few days later,
00:56:46Big Brother Ma sought a ship broker and gave him a large sum of money to help him flee the country,
00:56:52but unexpectedly, the broker informed Director Sung's people. At the same time, Sung Hee's people also
00:56:58caught the broker and forced him to disclose the ship Big Brother Mei was planning to sneak onto.
00:57:04After getting the accurate information, Sung Hee reported back to Sister Lee.
00:57:09Subsequently, Sister Lee went to the police station to relay everything to the police chief,
00:57:14who did not hesitate to call Doo Hyun to join her at the harbor. Director Sung arrived at the harbor before
00:57:20them, and his men spread out in every corner to hunt for Big Brother Ma. Doo Hyun, on his way to the
00:57:26harbor, passed by Sung Hee without either of them realizing it. At the harbor, he silently took down
00:57:32Director Sung's subordinates while searching for Big Brother Ma, who was now being chased by Director Sung's men
00:57:38after being spotted. The men cornered Big Brother Mei in an empty warehouse, preparing to deal with him.
00:57:44When the door suddenly burst open again, Doo Hyun charged in, activating his assassin mode and taking
00:57:50down each man one by one, finally pinning Big Brother Mei to the ground and forcing him to reveal the
00:57:57killer of Hae Soo. After obtaining the confession, Doo Hyun immediately reported back to the police chief,
00:58:03who had also arrived at the harbor by then. Seeing his men defeated, Director Sung tried to escape but
00:58:10was stopped by the police chief's gun. He turned to look behind her, and with a compliant smile, raised his
00:58:16hands and turned around. Just as the police chief was about to handcuff him, she was suddenly knocked
00:58:22unconscious by a bat wielded by one of the subordinates. Director Sung picked up the police chief's gun,
00:58:28and informed her that her boyfriend was a spy for him. Just as he was about to finish her off,
00:58:33a gunshot rang out, striking him through the shoulder and throwing him into confusion.
00:58:38The shooter was Officer Kim. Director Sung was immediately rushed to the hospital as he needed
00:58:43to stay alive to provide testimony to the police. While the gang leader was taken to the station,
00:58:48the police chief was unsure how to face her boyfriend after discovering his full extent of crimes,
00:58:54advised by her colleague to give herself some space to decide whether to forgive or charge police
00:58:59officer Kim. Meanwhile, someone informed gang leader Shin that he had been cleared of charges,
00:59:05but upon hearing that the gang leader and Director Sung were still alive, he became even more fearful.
00:59:11He revealed to his colleague that besides the gang leader's testimony, the police had no evidence of
00:59:16Director Sung murdering Hae Soo, suggesting that someone from the shadow might infiltrate the police
00:59:22station to eliminate the gang leader to silence him. Indeed, as the secretary was sending his men to
00:59:28handle the gang leader, the colleague warned the police chief, but by the time she arrived at the
00:59:33station, the gang leader had already been taken away. A police car heading to a junction was involved
00:59:39in a staged accident, and a motorcyclist seized the opportunity to strangle the gang leader with a
00:59:44wire while the police were unconscious. By the time the colleague and the police chief arrived,
00:59:50the gang leader had died. Simultaneously, the secretary approached Officer Kim, proposing cooperation
00:59:56as they both shared Director Sung as a common enemy. He handed Officer Kim a syringe filled with a lethal,
01:00:02invisible toxin. But when Officer Kim reached the hospital room, Director Sung had vanished,
01:00:08having been rescued by Mina. Officer Kim, facing constant setbacks, went drinking in despair, where his
01:00:15girlfriend found him and reminded him of his past as a competent officer, and how much he had helped
01:00:20her, urging him to turn back and not give up. Inspired by his girlfriend, Officer Kim regained his
01:00:27determination. Meanwhile, Sung Hee, following Ms. Lee's advice, started to tell Mina to locate Director Sung,
01:00:34but unexpectedly ran into one of her colleague's agents. Since Mina was discussing a construction project with
01:00:40the branch manager, Sung Hee could not enter and had to call the police chief for help to capture Mina.
01:00:47Suddenly, Officer Kim pulled Mina outside, eager to find out Director Sung's location to resolve everything.
01:00:54After learning of the location, Police Officer Kim immediately headed there, and just as he left,
01:01:00the police chief also arrived and quickly handcuffed Mina, before calling Do-Hyung to join her at the place
01:01:07where Director Sung was hiding. There, Officer Kim, posing as a delivery man, tricked one of the gang
01:01:13members into opening the door, pointed his gun to control him inside, and then knocked him unconscious.
01:01:20Suddenly, another gang member attacked, catching Officer Kim off guard. While Do-Hyung and the police
01:01:26chief were on their way, Officer Kim struggled with the henchmen until he subdued him, only to find that
01:01:32Director Sung had disappeared. Unexpectedly, a blow to the back of his head, rendered Officer Kim unconscious.
01:01:39It was Director Sung who shot him twice, killing him, and then took his gun to flee. When the police
01:01:45chief burst into the room, she found her boyfriend barely alive. He could only hold on long enough to
01:01:51say goodbye before he died. Outside, Director Sung, noticing Mina in the police car, aimed his gun at her,
01:01:58but lowered it without firing and escaped with his gang in another car. They were intercepted by Do-Hyung's car,
01:02:04and while his gang members stayed to handle Do-Hyung, Director Sung fled with Mina in a police car.
01:02:10Just as Do-Hyung thought he had lost Director Sung again, Sung, he arrived in a car urging him to get in
01:02:16and pursue the villains. However, he wanted her to go to a safe place and leave the matter to him to handle.
01:02:23But before they could leave, gangsters sent by the boss blocked both ends, forcing Do-Hyung to get out,
01:02:29take down two men in front, and then commandeer a car to let his girlfriend escape. At a safe location,
01:02:35he wanted his girlfriend to continue fleeing while he eliminated the evils to create a safe world for her,
01:02:42and would find her again later. Sung-hee, in tears, drove away while Do-Hyung returned to find the police
01:02:48chief. The death of Officer Kim devastated her, but she knew she could not continue this way forever,
01:02:54only by becoming stronger could she seek justice for him. She rallied the strength of every force
01:02:59she had, and the police intensified their efforts to capture criminal organizations,
01:03:04even fabricating charges to arrest them, determined to trace the shadow organization.
01:03:09At the shadow organization, because Director Sung dared to kill a police officer,
01:03:14the boss could no longer risk employing him without drawing police attention.
01:03:18The boss wanted Director Sung to hand over his power to the secretary and then go abroad to live
01:03:24in hiding for a while. Unwilling to relinquish the position he had struggled so hard to secure,
01:03:29Director Sung began to plot against the boss. He called the branch manager, urging him to expedite
01:03:35the contract to seize all the capital in order to sabotage the boss's construction plans.
01:03:41However, unknown to him, the branch manager had already partnered with the secretary.
01:03:46He wanted the branch manager to follow Director Sung's instructions exactly,
01:03:50as that would provide the evidence needed to convict him before the boss.
01:03:54While they were discussing, Do-Hyung burst in, not pretending anymore, but directly exposing the
01:04:00secretary's identity, telling him to go back and inform the boss that the banks would not lend them money.
01:04:06The branch manager advised Do-Hyung not to interfere and threatened that if the deal fell through,
01:04:12he would drag Do-Hyung down with him. However, Do-Hyung was undeterred by the threat
01:04:17and adamantly refused to lend. On the other side, when Director Sung found that the passwords to his
01:04:23bank accounts had been changed, he immediately thought of the branch manager. Just as the manager was
01:04:28leaving work and getting into his car, Director Sung approached him with a knife to his throat.
01:04:34He didn't care who had ordered the password change, but warned that if his accounts weren't
01:04:38restored by the next morning, the manager would surely die. After being released, the terrified
01:04:44manager immediately called the secretary, who then added fuel to the fire by reporting to the boss,
01:04:49further infuriating him against Director Sung. The boss initially wanted to deal with Do-Hyung first,
01:04:55but Do-Hyung's mother unexpectedly came to see him. She and the boss were both powerful figures
01:05:01behind the scenes in the business world, so her words carried significant weight. The boss knew about
01:05:06her son, and she knew about his daughter. Hence, if the boss touched Do-Hyung again, she would not
01:05:12let it go. The boss, undeterred by this threat, became even more determined to deal with Do-Hyung.
01:05:19But the only person who could carry out this task was Director Sung, so he was called upon again.
01:05:24However, Director Sung chose to call the police, and then went back to his room to pack up his money
01:05:30in preparation to flee. Not long after, a group of men stormed in and beat Director Sung severely,
01:05:37continuing until he was left crippled. Only then did the boss step in. Director Sung clung to him,
01:05:43full of hatred, but ultimately he was killed by the boss. By the time the police chief arrived,
01:05:48Director Sung was already a lifeless body. After dealing with Director Sung, the boss proactively
01:05:54called Do-Hyung to meet him. Without hesitation and without notifying anyone, Do-Hyung immediately
01:06:00went to the meeting. Cautiously entering the room where the boss was, the first thing the boss did
01:06:05was confirm whether Do-Hyung was a bank employee. Then he tried to lure Do-Hyung to work for him by
01:06:11offering him the position of branch manager. Thinking he could manipulate people with money,
01:06:16the boss was taken aback when the young man he underestimated threatened to kill him.
01:06:21After warning the boss, Do-Hyung left. The boss, not daring to have his men deal with Do-Hyung
01:06:27directly, sent the secretary to investigate what Do-Hyung was protecting, still unaware that Sung-hee was
01:06:34alive. At this time, Sung-hee was visiting the office of Dong-po, urging him to cooperate with her
01:06:40ultimate goal of targeting the boss. It wasn't just Do-Hyung who wanted to create a safe world.
01:06:46Sung-hee was also intent on doing so. Another force targeting the boss was the police chief,
01:06:51who still didn't know his real identity and planned to find out through Dong-po and Ms. Lee.
01:06:57In the course of her investigation, the police chief obtained a photo of Sung-hee with Ms. Lee,
01:07:02which she brought to Do-Hyung. He looked at the photo with worry,
01:07:06fearing that Sung-hee would be harmed by power if she continued using it for revenge.
01:07:11Therefore, he had to accelerate his actions ahead of her, using his no longer soft-hearted approach
01:07:17by exploiting Boss Jin to create evidence of the branch manager's bribery, providing the police
01:07:23chief with a reason to arrest him. Boss Jin was confused upon being arrested as he thought he
01:07:28was just helping Do-Hyung. Following the branch manager, Mina was next because she was involved in
01:07:34bribing the bank for a loan to finance the construction project. Do-Hyung's mother, hearing
01:07:39the news and realizing that the situation was getting out of hand and could endanger her son's life
01:07:44if he continued to dig deeper, sent a lawyer to meet with the branch manager, promising him a large
01:07:50sum of money to take all the blame and serve a year in prison. Afterwards, Do-Hyung's mother
01:07:56personally met with the boss to issue a final warning for him to withdraw from the shadow
01:08:00organization, and to also halt the construction project. If the boss still harbored thoughts of
01:08:06not letting his efforts collapse, she would be forced to make him disappear forever, leaving
01:08:11the boss extremely enraged. Seeing that the boss was on the verge of losing his grip on power,
01:08:16the secretary began to look for new moves, approaching a lawyer with a proposal to help
01:08:21him assume the boss's position. However, the deal fell through because the lawyer was loyal
01:08:26only to Do-Hyung's mother, finding this path unviable. The secretary then turned to Boss Chin,
01:08:32who informed him that the girl who had died in a fire was his girlfriend, not Seung Hee. Do-Hyung knew
01:08:38this but had concealed it, clearly planning to use the secretary for his own schemes. Enraged upon hearing
01:08:44this, Boss Chin betrayed Do-Hyung and informed the secretary about his plans. The secretary then broke into
01:08:51Dong Po's office and, using his name, lured Seung Hee there. Upon her arrival, the secretary kidnapped her,
01:08:59took a photo, and sent it to Do-Hyung to provoke him. At the time, Do-Hyung was with his mother,
01:09:05who, not understanding the situation, instructed a lawyer to follow and protect him. The secretary
01:09:11took Seung Hee to the boss to earn favor, but unexpectedly, the boss, already intimidated by Do-Hyung's
01:09:18mother, decided to end the matter and let Seung Hee go. Nevertheless, the secretary ordered his men to
01:09:24take her and sell her to China. Just as their vehicle was leaving, Do-Hyung arrived, stormed in,
01:09:30and after beating up the boss's men, grabbed the boss to ask about Seung Hee's whereabouts. At that moment,
01:09:37the police burst in. The police chief advised Do-Hyung to remain calm and hand over the boss to them,
01:09:42which he did after realizing that the boss wasn't lying. Before being taken away, the boss revealed
01:09:48that if Do-Hyung wanted to know Seung Hee's location, he should ask his secretary, indicating
01:09:54that he knew of the secretary's betrayal. After the police left, Secretary Kim emerged from a back room,
01:10:00took a seat in the boss's chair that he had long coveted, and ordered his men to buy food to mimic the
01:10:06boss's style. Meanwhile, Dong Po, having escaped, called Do-Hyung to inform him that Seung Hee was
01:10:12taken to a human trafficking warehouse near the sea. Do-Hyung immediately turned his car around and
01:10:18sped to the location. Upon arrival, he overpowered the guards but was suddenly tackled by a large man.
01:10:24The man choked Do-Hyung, leaving him unable to fight back. Cleverly, Do-Hyung grabbed a shower hose,
01:10:31choked his attacker with it, and successfully turned the situation around. As Do-Hyung approached Seung Hee,
01:10:38a man wielding a hammer suddenly charged at him, but he quickly subdued the attacker. Sitting next to
01:10:44his girlfriend, he woke her and confidently told her that he had resolved everything. Seung Hee,
01:10:50moved by the sight of her boyfriend's injured face and everything he had done for her, burst into tears.
01:10:56Shortly thereafter, the police arrived, rescued everyone, and arrested the criminals. However,
01:11:02unexpectedly, Boss Jin emerged and confronted Do-Hyung, blaming him for lying about the death of his
01:11:08girlfriend. Just as Do-Hyung apologized, he suffered a deep stab wound in his abdomen and collapsed.
01:11:15Boss Jin was arrested immediately after, and Do-Hyung, losing a lot of blood, was rushed to the hospital.
01:11:22In his delirium, he dreamt of a beautiful wedding with Seung Hee. She approached him in a stunning white
01:11:28dress, and he placed a ring he had prepared long ago on her finger, bringing a joyful smile to her face.
01:11:34In reality, his heart monitor showed two flat lines indicating no signs of life. Just as it seemed
01:11:40that his dream of happiness was fading into the past, time passed, and on a bridge where only Seung he
01:11:46stood, Do-Hyung suddenly appeared, running towards her. It turned out that he had conquered death,
01:11:52and now nothing could separate them. They would live happily ever after.
