Siren's Kiss (2026) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
Likewise, the restaurant owner
who died in the river
canceled his policy before he died.
The woman lost three men
but gained nothing from their deaths.
On the other hand,
I gained something from these three cases.
If you fall in love with Han Seol-ah…
You will die.
That's a fact.
The men probably wanted to
save that wounded woman.
That's just how men are.
Once they fall in love,
they stop thinking straight.
So they gave everything they had,
even their own lives.
She must've seemed pitiful and vulnerable.
A woman in need of protection.
[dramatic choral music playing]
You're talking as if
you know everything about me.
Then please tell me one thing.
[music crescendoes]
Who is next?
Next?
The next man who will fall in love…
With Han Seol-ah.
[music fades]
[shudders]
[dramatic string music playing]
But you're right.
The first man you mentioned
just now, Su-ho,
died in Syria seven years ago
in a bomb attack.
[chuckles]
So, do you think
I'm behind the bombing as well?
All the insurance policies were canceled,
and I got nothing out of them,
so why would I?
The policies?
They could be a cover
for hiding something else.
Once or twice, maybe.
But there's no such thing
as a third coincidence.
Lee Su-ho.
Choi Young-ho.
Yoon Seung-jae.
What did you gain from their deaths?
[music stops]
Well?
What could it be?
Now, please go ahead and leave.
And if you show up like this again,
I will have to call the police.
And also, I will file a formal complaint
with your company.
[clicks tongue] Go for it. Be my guest.
The more you avoid me…
The more you will run into me.
[dramatic string music resumes]
[music crescendoes]
[scoffs]
EPISODE 3
REDEVELOPMENT THAT IGNORES
THE RESIDENTS MUST STOP!
ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED TO REDEVELOPMEN
WE'VE CLOSED DOWN FOR PERSONAL REASONS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPOR
[panting]
They were dead set
against the redevelopment,
but then they suddenly took the money
and moved out.
What do you think changed
the old folks' mind? It's obvious.
[sighs]
HYUN-SU'S FRUI
- I know.
- Oh, my God.
- [Ms. Kim] You're a real pro, Ms. Han.
- Maybe she did do it.
- Oh, wow.
- Wouldn't it be normal
- to want to die right now?
- She really went straight at her, right?
Oh. Was that the booze talking?
What is it that you're trying to say?
[groans] I should've stopped her
from drinking that day. Damn it.
- Oh.
- Seriously. Oh, my gosh.
- [employees clear throats]
- Oh, she's coming.
All right.
- What is it?
- Oh, uh…
Uh, someone posted this video
on the Allined forum. And…
The podium?
With your skills?
I won't hold back any longer.
Enjoy the time you have left.
'Cause it's almost up.
We'll start the weekly meeting
at 11:00 sharp.
[employees] Okay.
Hey, can you get this for me?
Yeah, thanks.
[Sang-mi] Yeah, I have to check on
an art piece for the auction.
- [Seol-ah] Ms. Kim Yun-ji.
- Wow. Her eyes have some serious charisma.
Let's please behave like professionals.
You're a real pro, Ms. Han.
Wouldn't it be normal
to want to die right now?
What are you trying to say?
[Ms. Kim] I wonder what kind of face
you'd make if I took over the main podium.
[scoffs] The podium?
AUGUST 26TH, 21:02
Look at the time here. This was recorded
right before Kim Yun-ji called me.
What if the secret this woman mentioned is
what she was going to tip you off about?
It's possible
Han Seol-ah got to her first.
Whoa.
Who do you think filmed this video then?
[sighs]
Ma'am. Uh…
[chuckles]
You saw the video, right?
How will you fix all this?
[Seol-ah] This was found
on Ms. Kim's computer.
[Ms. Kim] Ms. Han is giving me
such a hard time.
[Mr. Song] Hang in there
just a little longer.
At the next auction,
you'll be on the main podium,
Chief Auctioneer Kim Yun-ji.
[Ms. Kim] This time
I can really look forward to it, right?
[Mr. Song] That's pretty.
Whoa. You need to delete that.
I guess she didn't trust you, Mr. Song.
She captured and saved her messages.
The pain of becoming a mistress.
And a man who refuses to honor
the promised price.
Don't you think, sir, that this is
a more plausible reason for her suicide?
What? You're trying
[softly] to pin this on me over this?
If you feel wrongly accused,
I can post your conversation
on the forum too.
- [shrieks]
- [scoffs]
The house is on fire
and one's fanning the flames,
while the other pours oil over it.
Great job, both of you. Great job.
[sighs]
When there is something you want to hide,
I guess you've got to
put on a flashy show.
Rumor has it that Stiller's piece
from Christie's Hong Kong
is here in Korea right now.
Don't you think
all this gossip will be gone
if it sells for a record price
at the upcoming auction?
Go and get Stiller's piece.
The one who brings it in…
Will be first in line for succession.
[sighs]
[chuckles] You've gotten better.
Feels like yesterday
you were just a struggling intern,
and now you're swinging a sword. Mmm?
You drew it first, Mr. Song.
Tell me,
what kind of pathetic threat is that,
bringing up my private life like that?
That's not the original.
[chuckles, sighs] What?
Well, if any of this gets leaked,
I won't let you get away with it.
At the moment, I don't plan to leak it.
I'll keep it and use it again and again.
Fine!
You try that.
Stiller! I will be the one to get it!
[breathes shakily]
You know, I would love to work
for someone as capable as you, Mr. Song.
[scoffing]
[sighs]

[lock beeps, clicks]
Han, your daughter is so…
She doesn't take after you.
That's why I like her.
[chuckles]
GANGHA POLICE STATION
- [sighs]
- [Eun-gyeom chewing]
[Seong-il sighs]
21:58, KIM YUN-JI, ROOFTOP
- [Eun-gyeom chewing]
- [sighs]
Eat quietly, will you?
- [sighs]
- [sighs]
[Seong-il sighs heavily]
22:02, HAN SEOL-AH
All right, let's see.
[keyboard clacks]
At 21:58,
Kim Yun-ji got off on the 12th floor
and headed to the rooftop.
[keyboard clacks]
Then, at 22:02, Han Seol-ah got
off on the 12th floor and went somewhere.
21:58, KIM YUN-JI, ROOFTOP 22:02, HAN SEOL-AH?
- 22:11
[keyboard clacks]
Nine minutes later,
at 22:11, Kim Yun-ji fell.
It looks like Han Seol-ah chased her
after they fought.
[sighs] If only there had been
a camera in that hallway,
we'd have caught the culprit.
That's why we need
to bring in the witness. [Sighs]
Witness?
KIM YUN-JI CASE TIP CALLER.WAV
[witness] The woman who died at
Royal Auction didn't take her own life.
She was murdered.
This isn't just some prank call.
Plus, nobody just calls
from a pay phone for nothing.
Get the tip caller here right away.
I want him here today.
[sighs]
Yeah, like the tip caller's
just gonna magically appear,
- just 'cause he told us to find him today.
- [yawns]
I wish I were the tip caller
so we could go home.
- [phone buzzing]
- [Eun-gyeom sighs]
[yawns]
WOO-SEOK
- [chews]
- Yeah?
[upbeat music playing]
[Gong sighs]
[sighs, groans]
The captain has been all about Han Seol-ah
ever since he went to Yoon Seung-jae's.
[sighs] He's obsessed.
Just drop it casually.
What?
That it's not just Yoon Seung-jae.
That there's two more.
Tell him that all of Han Seol-ah's men
were insured and wound up dead.
Why would I do that?
The captain would lose it.
Tell him we could even provide proof.
[groans] I'm the one getting crushed here.
I'm scrambling and now he wants us
to find the tipster who called ASAP.
[Woo-seok] Here.
WORLD'S SUGAR FREE - REAL COFFEE
KOPIKO - ENJOY COFFEE ANYTIME
Oh. Oh, man.
I feel better now.
So first we go get the tipster, right?
I knew it. Loyalty lives on.
Old-school loyalty still exists.
Ow. [Chuckles]
I guess I'm not totally screwed.
[funky music playing]
Oh, over there.
"3386." This is it.
REPORT: 081-258-0528
DONGJAK-GU 026-3386
[Woo-seok] You're right.
[Gong] Hello, ma'am.
I'm with the police.
Is there a security camera in the store?
Why would this crappy, little store
have something like that?
[scoffs]
"Ma'am." [scoffs] Geez.
I figured there wouldn't be
any cameras here.
Looks like it's been parked here for days.
- Get out of here, okay? Get out!
- [yelps]
- I told you that damn punk isn't here!
- [sighs]
Just go, please!
Business is bad enough as it is!
- Honestly!
- [Gong yelps]
- Oh… [chuckles, sighs]
- [Gong] Oh… [chuckles]
[funky music playing]
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
It's all right.
Please, Miss.
I don't know what happened with your son,
but I promise we're not here to get him.
All we need is in that truck.
Let us check the dashcam, nunim.
- Miss? [Giggles]
- [chuckles]
My goodness,
you're a smooth talker, young man.
Oh, me? Smooth talker?
[chuckles]
Looks like he's here.
Please, just go ask him.
[sighing] All right, here.
This is for the groceries.
And this is for the dashcam memory card.
[chuckles]
If I had funds to work with,
I wouldn't flash my police badge first.
It was all just because
you called her ma'am.
[scoffs] But don't you think calling
her miss was a bit much?
Hey, when you're buttering
somebody up, go all the way.
Now, hurry up and find the tipster.
Yes, sir.
I'll stay up all night
to comb through this footage.
[Woo-seok chuckles]

RECORDING
[witness] The woman who died at
Royal Auction didn't take her own life.
She was murdered.
[gasps]
What have you heard?
So, I only heard a rumor
that a Korean entrepreneur won the bid.
But I think our Korean vice president
knows who the collector is.
Thanks for the info.
Let's catch up on my next trip.
Okay, bye.
[laptop beeps]
[doorbell rings]
[door lock chimes]
[door lock chimes]
YOON SEUNG-JAE
[pensive music playing]
[engine starts]
[mutters] Let's see.
[inhales sharply] That's strange.
There's no entry record in the log.
Usually all courier deliveries
are recorded here.
Could I check
the security cam footage then?
Oh. You'll have to wait until
the person in charge comes in.
Then can you please check
and let me know what you see in there?
Yes, will do.
HAN SEOL-AH
YOON SEUNG-JAE, CHOI YOUNG-HO, LEE SU-HO
The men probably wanted
to save that wounded woman.
That's just how men are.
Once they fall in love,
they stop thinking straight.
So they gave everything they had,
even their own lives.
HAN SEOL-AH
Then please tell me one thing.
The next man who will fall in love…
With Han Seol-ah?
YOON SEUNG-JAE, CHOI YOUNG-HO, LEE SU-HO
[Woo-seok] Lee Su-ho. Choi Young-ho.
Yoon Seung-jae.
What did you gain from their deaths?
Once or twice, maybe.
But there's no such thing
as a third coincidence.
[manager] Lee Su-ho? Choi Young-ho?
Yoon Seung-jae?
[exhales sharply]
So all three of these men died?
And they all dated the same woman?
Ms. Kim Yun-ji must have
asked for your number
because she wanted us to know about this.
But why did you bring this
life insurance case to General Insurance?
And to the sales team?
Could you make me a business card
for the GI team?
A card?
[phone buzzes]
1 UNREAD MESSAGE
We checked the camera.
From the security footage,
we can tell that the courier
works for Dallyeo Quick.
- [knocks on door]
- [gasps]
Good morning.
You're in early, Ms. Han.
[stammers] Sang-mi,
which delivery service do we normally use?
We use Dallyeo Quick.
Do you need to send something?
Can I please have their number?
[footsteps approaching]
Seol-ah.
That wine. Did you send that?
If you wanted to hide, then don't use
the same courier the company does.
It came straight from your place.
[scoffs]
What was your intention?
Are you trying to make me feel guilty?
Are you trying to prove
that I killed Seung-jae also?
[sighs]
Seung-jae asked me to do it.
Sorry.
I should've given you a heads-up.
[Eun-hye] Brother!
Forget it.
We shouldn't talk about it here.
The three of us
should have dinner together soon.
It's been a while.
And we could have some wine too.
So tell me, did you like the gift?
Why didn't you bring it yourself
instead of just sneaking it in like a rat?
[scoffs]
You must have been really shocked.
Well, of course,
any normal human would be.
I only sent it because my brother
kept agonising over that bottle.
If you're pissed,
go take it up with your dead boyfriend.
Do Eun-hye!
All right.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Why would you do that?
Looks like she came to check
because she has a guilty conscience.
- What?
- Be honest.
You suspect her too, don't you?
[sighs]
[Eun-hyuk] Seung-jae asked me to do it.
[sighs]
[Seung-jae] If something
ever happens to me,
can you give this to Seol-ah?
What are you talking about?
It never will, but…
Why ask me for such a favor?
You can give it to her yourself.
[inhales]
I heard something strange.
I could just ignore it,
but I can't get it out of my head.
[chuckles]
I guess I don't fully trust Seol-ah yet.
I'm pathetic, aren't I?
[all exclaim, gasp]
- Wow, that looks so good.
- Oh, wow. Thanks.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. We'll definitely enjoy them.
- No, my pleasure. [Chuckles]
So you're our new account manager?
You're really cool.
Come by more often, please. Hmm?
- Sure, will do. [Chuckles]
- [employees chuckle]
Mmm.
Oh, M-Ms. Han!
He's from the insurance company.
I'm Cha Woo-seok,
your new insurance account manager.
For all your art.
I look forward to working with you,
Ms. Han Seol-ah.
It's nice to meet you.
[clears throat]
Um, I'm the one in charge of
all of the art insurance tasks.
- I'll take care of it.
- Hmm. Sure.
Since it's your first day,
let me start you off with a tour.
Shall we?
[elevator bell dings]
If you're thinking of asking for
a new account manager, don't even try.
I really don't care,
as long as you do your job well.
When it comes to risk management,
I'm in charge.
Access cards have different clearance
levels depending on your position.
In particular,
the storage vault for consigned works.
The vault is equipped with
the highest level of security, of course.
This means it's not a place
just anyone can enter.
And I guess the chief auctioneer
has all around access, right?
And you must know the building's layout.
Like where security cameras are
and their blind spots.
Or secret ways to sneak up to the roof,
for instance.
[lock beeps]
The storage vault is kept
at a consistent 68° and 50% humidity.
The artwork kept inside is protected
by double walls and blast-proof doors,
making them safe from the elements.
[vault gate clanks]
A few years back,
the Seoul Museum of Art
held a Renoir exhibition.
The total insured value
of the artwork on display at that time
was 700 million USD.
Likewise, the pieces stored in here…
So, if anything happens to them,
if they get damaged or even stolen,
we'd be the ones liable, right?
I saw that video.
You're calmer than I expected.
What exactly was Kim Yun-ji
trying to expose that got her killed?
The secret behind
the death of Han Seol-ah's men?
You're convinced I killed them,
but you have no evidence.
And yet you're curious
about why they all died.
So, you came all the way here
under the pretense of work?
You're right.
So…
Have you picked the next man?
[music crescendoes]
[chuckles]
If you don't want people
getting the wrong idea, step aside.
They're watching us in the security room,
even as we speak.
[scoffs]
[music stops]
Going forward, meetings
without prior notice won't be allowed.
If things go south,
the account manager won't be replaced.
It will be the company. All right?
[sighs]
[sighs]
CHARITY AUCTION TO SUPPORT EMERGING
ARTISTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TAEMYUNG
They've already gotten rid of
Kim Yun-ji's computer and her car?
I looked everywhere near her place,
but I can't find it.
- [sighs]
- Well, the car insurance is still active,
so it seems like
they haven't gotten rid of it yet.
I think I know where it is.
[elevator bell dings]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Mr. Ahn] 132M 3925.
That's Kim Yun-ji's license plate.

"Luen Palace"?
[classical piano music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
I can't believe
you haven't eaten anything.
Hey, don't read too much into it.
Seung-jae probably just meant it
as a surprise gift. That's all.
Eun-hye is just overreacting.
That little brat.
That girl is so rude.
She's not even grateful
for all you've done.
[Seol-ah chuckles]
[Mr. Ahn] Hey, over here. [Sighs]
[Mr. Koo] Well, well. Mr. Cha from GI.
What brings you to our LI team dinner?
- Was I fired?
- You got yourself a new business card
and left us, huh?
So just stay in GI for good.
Mr. Ahn will handle
everything on our team.
Hey, man. Congrats on the exam.
Thank you. I'll work hard!
Now listen, just having the certificate
doesn't make you part of the SIU.
You need the kind of persistence
Cha-cha has.
Digging into Han Seol-ah
and uncovering all that.
You have to be consumed by curiosity,
utterly, madly obsessed to do this job.
Oh, yeah. So, Mr. Cha,
when you see a case,
do you just instinctively sense the smell
of a crime or something like that?
It's not like that.
It's just that if I miss something
there could be another victim.
Like Chae-rin or my sister.
And I can't let that happen.
- [clicks tongue]
- Well, all right.
You need a drink. Here. Come here. Yeah.
This kind of responsibility
and sense of duty,
these are the core values of the SIU.
You understand?
Do your best. All right?
- I will, sir.
- Good.
Here.
Your first official SIU mission.
Oh. What's this?
"Luen Palace"?
Uh…
So you want to know
who has that Stiller piece.
Hmm. It's not like I know everything.
Oh, please.
Your husband's the VP
at Christie's Hong Kong.
There's no way you wouldn't know.
[suspenseful music playing]
A WALK
BLOOM
- What do you think?
- Must be an emerging artist.
Her show at the gallery
will sell out on opening day.
Though it'll be her father
buying everything anonymously.
She's the EN Group heiress.
Just feature her work
in your next auction.
So they can jack up her painting prices,
and resell what they bought
for a higher return?
I will too.
If you take this.

he used for the bid.

[groans] That hurts.

[groans, inhales sharply]
[exhales heavily]
Oh. [Winces, groans]
Hold on. Hold on a sec.
[winces, grunts]
[sighs]
Oh, thank you.
Long time no see.
A torn anterior cruciate ligament
with lasting damage?
Hey, how did that happen?
Oh, uh, well, I got hurt playing soccer.
Oh, man.
- Did you get this secondhand too, huh?
- Hey!
- Stay away! Ow!
- If you want to pull a scam
at least put some effort into it,
you little bastard.
That hurts! Ow! This time it's for real!
[groans]
Hey, don't you remember me?
I told you that I'd make
your diagnosis real if I caught you.
You little prick.
- Wait. Don't.
- Come here.
- Stay away. Stay away.
- Come on.
- Come here.
- Stay away! I said stay away!
[sighs, scoffs]
I'll escort you inside, sir.
This is the private viewing room
of our auction house.
Thank you so much for coming, sir.
We've prepared something special,
just for you, today.
Don't know why, but I'm excited.
This piece is noted for
its portrayal of human solitude,
done in a Baselitz-like style.
You've already figured out my taste
after just one auction with you?
[chuckles]
Actually, I really got the hint
from another art piece.
Why is this here?
This is the first piece
you entrusted to me,
so I wanted to give you a chance
to see it before the auction.
I thought that I'd never see it again.
But seeing it like this
feels much different.
I used to stop by Hong Kong
every vacation.
I happened to walk into a gallery
and saw this painting.
Before I knew it,
I'd been standing in front of it
for an entire hour.
It was a matter of fate
that you came across it.
[sighs]
It felt like I was falling in love.
By the end,
I was even getting a little choked up.
They call that Stendhal syndrome.
This painting was just the beginning.
There were a few more like it.
Would you like to come see them?
I'd really love to know what kinds
of work truly resonate with you,
on a deeper level.
[chuckles] Are you hungry?
[chuckles]
In China, they used to call this
loach-tofu soup "Diaochan tofu."
Diaochan? From Romance of
the Three Kingdoms?
Yes.
She was a beauty
who shook over the nation.
If you put loach and tofu together
in a hot stew,
the loach will burrow into the tofu,
looking for a place to hide.
In the end it ends up trapped
inside the tofu,
slowly meeting its death.
So you mean that Diaochan
is just like the tofu.
So, then who was the loach
that died in her arms?
I am not interested in who the loach was.
I just feel bad for Diaochan.
That woman…
Had nowhere to run.
[laughing]
I knew it.
[laughing] Oh.
All right.
Dig in.
Actually, there's something
I'd like to propose to you today, sir.
And what might that be?
Please entrust me
with the Emil Stiller piece.
You purchased it at Christie's Hong Kong.
Two years ago.
I'd like to feature it as
the main lot in our next auction.
So all this…
Wasn't about me.
You were just interested in that painting.
As you know,
there are many collectors in Korea
eager to get their hands
on Stiller's work.
I can guarantee you
at least a 30% increase
over the price you paid at Christie's.
It's a very tempting offer.
But it's a painting
that means a lot to me.
By any chance,
is there anything else in particular
you're looking for?
You know, people aren't motivated
by numbers alone.
I think you already know
what's really on my mind, Ms. Han.
[chuckles]
Since it's a piece you clearly cherish,
it only seems right to give you
some time to think it over.
Once you've settled on your conditions,
please be sure to let me know.

- [Eun-gyeom sighs]
- [Gong] Oh?
Shh. Wait. Found them.
[Eun-gyeom] Oh, yeah. Card tapped.
The info should come right up.
[Seong-il sighs]
This person was trying
to hide their identity at all costs.
There's a good chance
they know the suspect.
[employee 1] Yeah.
- [employee 2] No.
- [employee 1] I thought so.
But I don't think
it matters at this point.
- [employee 1] Okay.
- [employee 2] Yeah.
[employee 1]
I'll get it to you. All right.
Luen Palace.
As you can see most of the listings
are live-work spaces.
LUEN PALACE
I'm guessing it's, I don't know,
some kind of secret hideout.
Hideout for what?
Like a spot for Kim Yun-ji
and Yoon Seung-jae's secret rendezvous.
There'd be too many eyes at hotels.
So how are you gonna find it?
Well, I'll do the legwork myself.
Are you serious?
I mean, do you know that there are
around 70 Luen Palaces in Seoul alone?
What? You knew all this time
and still made me do all that work?
Let's get some help from the experts.
Experts?
What experts?

- Eat slow.
- [clears throat]
Did you do something wrong?
[sighs] Come on.
What do you take me for?
I quit pulling wrist scams, okay?
Here, look. See? Totally fine.
Yeah, it better be.
After all the insurance money
we shelled out for your wrists.
[scoffs, inhales sharply]
- Where are all the guys laid up?
- Laid up? Come on.
They're all out there running around
and hustling hard.
And thanks to you,
we did our time and now
we're living a straight-up honest life.
Oh, yeah. Really?
But the world's changed a lot, you know.
You can hide the mail

[Seong-il] She the one who called?
Yes.
[Gong sighs]
Do Eun-hye.
She's a grad student
and currently interning at Royal Auction.
Ms. Do Eun-hye, your identity
is completely protected,
and everything you say here
will be kept confidential.
You're sure, right?
You don't need to worry.
[sighs]
I saw everything.
[breathes shakily]
That woman killed her.

Han Seol-ah?
[Eun-hye] Han Seol-ah.
She's the one who killed her.
[Seol-ah] Do you still think
that I'm capable of killing someone?
[Woo-seok] A spyware app?
Did it ever cross your mind
that Kim Yun-ji knew too much?
[Ms. Kim] In the end, you're gonna die
by that woman's hand too.
[Woo-seok] Paek Jun-beom.
You knew she was stalking you, didn't you?
I don't have the right to fall apart.
[Woo-seok] Then what happened
to Ms. Han Seol-ah's family?
[Eun-hye] Han Seol-ah
was the only one who survived.
What if Han Seol-ah just happened
to have a string of bad luck?
[Eun-gyeom] Then is she a suspect now too?
[Seong-il] You'll need
a rock solid alibi to get out of this.
who died in the river
canceled his policy before he died.
The woman lost three men
but gained nothing from their deaths.
On the other hand,
I gained something from these three cases.
If you fall in love with Han Seol-ah…
You will die.
That's a fact.
The men probably wanted to
save that wounded woman.
That's just how men are.
Once they fall in love,
they stop thinking straight.
So they gave everything they had,
even their own lives.
She must've seemed pitiful and vulnerable.
A woman in need of protection.
[dramatic choral music playing]
You're talking as if
you know everything about me.
Then please tell me one thing.
[music crescendoes]
Who is next?
Next?
The next man who will fall in love…
With Han Seol-ah.
[music fades]
[shudders]
[dramatic string music playing]
But you're right.
The first man you mentioned
just now, Su-ho,
died in Syria seven years ago
in a bomb attack.
[chuckles]
So, do you think
I'm behind the bombing as well?
All the insurance policies were canceled,
and I got nothing out of them,
so why would I?
The policies?
They could be a cover
for hiding something else.
Once or twice, maybe.
But there's no such thing
as a third coincidence.
Lee Su-ho.
Choi Young-ho.
Yoon Seung-jae.
What did you gain from their deaths?
[music stops]
Well?
What could it be?
Now, please go ahead and leave.
And if you show up like this again,
I will have to call the police.
And also, I will file a formal complaint
with your company.
[clicks tongue] Go for it. Be my guest.
The more you avoid me…
The more you will run into me.

the old folks' mind? It's obvious.
[sighs]
HYUN-SU'S FRUI
- I know.
- Oh, my God.
- [Ms. Kim] You're a real pro, Ms. Han.
- Maybe she did do it.
- Oh, wow.
- Wouldn't it be normal
- to want to die right now?
- She really went straight at her, right?
Oh. Was that the booze talking?
What is it that you're trying to say?
[groans] I should've stopped her
from drinking that day. Damn it.
- Oh.
- Seriously. Oh, my gosh.
- [employees clear throats]
- Oh, she's coming.
All right.
- What is it?
- Oh, uh…
Uh, someone posted this video
on the Allined forum. And…
The podium?
With your skills?
I won't hold back any longer.
Enjoy the time you have left.
'Cause it's almost up.
We'll start the weekly meeting
at 11:00 sharp.
[employees] Okay.
Hey, can you get this for me?
Yeah, thanks.
[Sang-mi] Yeah, I have to check on
an art piece for the auction.
- [Seol-ah] Ms. Kim Yun-ji.
- Wow. Her eyes have some serious charisma.
Let's please behave like professionals.
You're a real pro, Ms. Han.
Wouldn't it be normal
to want to die right now?
What are you trying to say?
[Ms. Kim] I wonder what kind of face
you'd make if I took over the main podium.
[scoffs] The podium?
AUGUST 26TH, 21:02
Look at the time here. This was recorded
right before Kim Yun-ji called me.
What if the secret this woman mentioned is
what she was going to tip you off about?
It's possible
Han Seol-ah got to her first.
Whoa.
Who do you think filmed this video then?
[sighs]
Ma'am. Uh…
[chuckles]
You saw the video, right?
How will you fix all this?
[Seol-ah] This was found
on Ms. Kim's computer.
[Ms. Kim] Ms. Han is giving me
such a hard time.
[Mr. Song] Hang in there
just a little longer.
At the next auction,
you'll be on the main podium,
Chief Auctioneer Kim Yun-ji.
[Ms. Kim] This time
I can really look forward to it, right?
[Mr. Song] That's pretty.
Whoa. You need to delete that.
I guess she didn't trust you, Mr. Song.
She captured and saved her messages.
The pain of becoming a mistress.
And a man who refuses to honor
the promised price.
Don't you think, sir, that this is
a more plausible reason for her suicide?
What? You're trying
[softly] to pin this on me over this?
If you feel wrongly accused,
I can post your conversation
on the forum too.
- [shrieks]
- [scoffs]
The house is on fire
and one's fanning the flames,
while the other pours oil over it.
Great job, both of you. Great job.
[sighs]
When there is something you want to hide,
I guess you've got to
put on a flashy show.
Rumor has it that Stiller's piece
from Christie's Hong Kong
is here in Korea right now.
Don't you think
all this gossip will be gone
if it sells for a record price
at the upcoming auction?
Go and get Stiller's piece.
The one who brings it in…
Will be first in line for succession.
[sighs]
[chuckles] You've gotten better.
Feels like yesterday
you were just a struggling intern,
and now you're swinging a sword. Mmm?
You drew it first, Mr. Song.
Tell me,
what kind of pathetic threat is that,
bringing up my private life like that?
That's not the original.
[chuckles, sighs] What?
Well, if any of this gets leaked,
I won't let you get away with it.
At the moment, I don't plan to leak it.
I'll keep it and use it again and again.
Fine!
You try that.
Stiller! I will be the one to get it!
[breathes shakily]
You know, I would love to work
for someone as capable as you, Mr. Song.

22:02, HAN SEOL-AH
All right, let's see.
[keyboard clacks]
At 21:58,
Kim Yun-ji got off on the 12th floor
and headed to the rooftop.
[keyboard clacks]
Then, at 22:02, Han Seol-ah got
off on the 12th floor and went somewhere.
21:58, KIM YUN-JI, ROOFTOP 22:02, HAN SEOL-AH?
- 22:11
[keyboard clacks]
Nine minutes later,
at 22:11, Kim Yun-ji fell.
It looks like Han Seol-ah chased her
after they fought.
[sighs] If only there had been
a camera in that hallway,
we'd have caught the culprit.
That's why we need
to bring in the witness. [Sighs]
Witness?
KIM YUN-JI CASE TIP CALLER.WAV
[witness] The woman who died at
Royal Auction didn't take her own life.
She was murdered.
This isn't just some prank call.
Plus, nobody just calls
from a pay phone for nothing.
Get the tip caller here right away.
I want him here today.
[sighs]
Yeah, like the tip caller's
just gonna magically appear,
- just 'cause he told us to find him today.
- [yawns]
I wish I were the tip caller
so we could go home.
- [phone buzzing]
- [Eun-gyeom sighs]

WOO-SEOK
- [chews]
- Yeah?
[upbeat music playing]
[Gong sighs]
[sighs, groans]
The captain has been all about Han Seol-ah
ever since he went to Yoon Seung-jae's.
[sighs] He's obsessed.
Just drop it casually.
What?
That it's not just Yoon Seung-jae.
That there's two more.
Tell him that all of Han Seol-ah's men
were insured and wound up dead.
Why would I do that?
The captain would lose it.
Tell him we could even provide proof.
[groans] I'm the one getting crushed here.
I'm scrambling and now he wants us
to find the tipster who called ASAP.
[Woo-seok] Here.
WORLD'S SUGAR FREE - REAL COFFEE
KOPIKO - ENJOY COFFEE ANYTIME
Oh. Oh, man.
I feel better now.
So first we go get the tipster, right?
I knew it. Loyalty lives on.
Old-school loyalty still exists.
Ow. [Chuckles]
I guess I'm not totally screwed.
[funky music playing]
Oh, over there.
"3386." This is it.
REPORT: 081-258-0528
DONGJAK-GU 026-3386
[Woo-seok] You're right.
[Gong] Hello, ma'am.
I'm with the police.
Is there a security camera in the store?
Why would this crappy, little store
have something like that?
[scoffs]
"Ma'am." [scoffs] Geez.
I figured there wouldn't be
any cameras here.
Looks like it's been parked here for days.
- Get out of here, okay? Get out!
- [yelps]
- I told you that damn punk isn't here!
- [sighs]
Just go, please!
Business is bad enough as it is!
- Honestly!
- [Gong yelps]
- Oh… [chuckles, sighs]
- [Gong] Oh… [chuckles]
[funky music playing]
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
It's all right.
Please, Miss.
I don't know what happened with your son,
but I promise we're not here to get him.
All we need is in that truck.
Let us check the dashcam, nunim.
- Miss? [Giggles]
- [chuckles]
My goodness,
you're a smooth talker, young man.
Oh, me? Smooth talker?
[chuckles]
Looks like he's here.
Please, just go ask him.
[sighing] All right, here.
This is for the groceries.
And this is for the dashcam memory card.
[chuckles]
If I had funds to work with,
I wouldn't flash my police badge first.
It was all just because
you called her ma'am.
[scoffs] But don't you think calling
her miss was a bit much?
Hey, when you're buttering
somebody up, go all the way.
Now, hurry up and find the tipster.
Yes, sir.
I'll stay up all night
to comb through this footage.

But I think our Korean vice president

[pensive music playing]
[engine starts]
[mutters] Let's see.
[inhales sharply] That's strange.
There's no entry record in the log.
Usually all courier deliveries
are recorded here.
Could I check
the security cam footage then?
Oh. You'll have to wait until
the person in charge comes in.
Then can you please check
and let me know what you see in there?
Yes, will do.
HAN SEOL-AH
YOON SEUNG-JAE, CHOI YOUNG-HO, LEE SU-HO
The men probably wanted
to save that wounded woman.
That's just how men are.
Once they fall in love,
they stop thinking straight.
So they gave everything they had,
even their own lives.
HAN SEOL-AH
Then please tell me one thing.
The next man who will fall in love…
With Han Seol-ah?
YOON SEUNG-JAE, CHOI YOUNG-HO, LEE SU-HO
[Woo-seok] Lee Su-ho. Choi Young-ho.
Yoon Seung-jae.
What did you gain from their deaths?
Once or twice, maybe.
But there's no such thing
as a third coincidence.
[manager] Lee Su-ho? Choi Young-ho?
Yoon Seung-jae?
[exhales sharply]
So all three of these men died?
And they all dated the same woman?
Ms. Kim Yun-ji must have
asked for your number
because she wanted us to know about this.
But why did you bring this
life insurance case to General Insurance?
And to the sales team?
Could you make me a business card
for the GI team?
A card?
[phone buzzes]
1 UNREAD MESSAGE
We checked the camera.
From the security footage,
we can tell that the courier
works for Dallyeo Quick.
- [knocks on door]
- [gasps]
Good morning.
You're in early, Ms. Han.
[stammers] Sang-mi,
which delivery service do we normally use?
We use Dallyeo Quick.
Do you need to send something?
Can I please have their number?
[footsteps approaching]
Seol-ah.
That wine. Did you send that?
If you wanted to hide, then don't use
the same courier the company does.
It came straight from your place.
[scoffs]
What was your intention?
Are you trying to make me feel guilty?
Are you trying to prove
that I killed Seung-jae also?
[sighs]
Seung-jae asked me to do it.
Sorry.
I should've given you a heads-up.
[Eun-hye] Brother!
Forget it.
We shouldn't talk about it here.
The three of us
should have dinner together soon.
It's been a while.
And we could have some wine too.
So tell me, did you like the gift?
Why didn't you bring it yourself
instead of just sneaking it in like a rat?
[scoffs]
You must have been really shocked.
Well, of course,
any normal human would be.
I only sent it because my brother
kept agonising over that bottle.
If you're pissed,
go take it up with your dead boyfriend.
Do Eun-hye!
All right.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Why would you do that?
Looks like she came to check
because she has a guilty conscience.
- What?
- Be honest.
You suspect her too, don't you?
[sighs]
[Eun-hyuk] Seung-jae asked me to do it.
[sighs]
[Seung-jae] If something
ever happens to me,
can you give this to Seol-ah?
What are you talking about?
It never will, but…
Why ask me for such a favor?
You can give it to her yourself.
[inhales]
I heard something strange.
I could just ignore it,
but I can't get it out of my head.
[chuckles]
I guess I don't fully trust Seol-ah yet.
I'm pathetic, aren't I?
[all exclaim, gasp]
- Wow, that looks so good.
- Oh, wow. Thanks.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. We'll definitely enjoy them.
- No, my pleasure. [Chuckles]
So you're our new account manager?
You're really cool.
Come by more often, please. Hmm?
- Sure, will do. [Chuckles]
- [employees chuckle]
Mmm.
Oh, M-Ms. Han!
He's from the insurance company.
I'm Cha Woo-seok,
your new insurance account manager.
For all your art.
I look forward to working with you,
Ms. Han Seol-ah.
It's nice to meet you.
[clears throat]
Um, I'm the one in charge of
all of the art insurance tasks.
- I'll take care of it.
- Hmm. Sure.
Since it's your first day,
let me start you off with a tour.
Shall we?
[elevator bell dings]
If you're thinking of asking for
a new account manager, don't even try.
I really don't care,
as long as you do your job well.
When it comes to risk management,
I'm in charge.
Access cards have different clearance
levels depending on your position.
In particular,
the storage vault for consigned works.
The vault is equipped with
the highest level of security, of course.
This means it's not a place
just anyone can enter.
And I guess the chief auctioneer
has all around access, right?
And you must know the building's layout.
Like where security cameras are
and their blind spots.
Or secret ways to sneak up to the roof,
for instance.
[lock beeps]
The storage vault is kept
at a consistent 68° and 50% humidity.
The artwork kept inside is protected
by double walls and blast-proof doors,
making them safe from the elements.
[vault gate clanks]
A few years back,
the Seoul Museum of Art
held a Renoir exhibition.
The total insured value
of the artwork on display at that time
was 700 million USD.
Likewise, the pieces stored in here…
So, if anything happens to them,
if they get damaged or even stolen,
we'd be the ones liable, right?
I saw that video.
You're calmer than I expected.
What exactly was Kim Yun-ji
trying to expose that got her killed?
The secret behind
the death of Han Seol-ah's men?
You're convinced I killed them,
but you have no evidence.
And yet you're curious
about why they all died.
So, you came all the way here
under the pretense of work?
You're right.
So…
Have you picked the next man?
[music crescendoes]
[chuckles]
If you don't want people
getting the wrong idea, step aside.
They're watching us in the security room,
even as we speak.
[scoffs]
[music stops]
Going forward, meetings
without prior notice won't be allowed.
If things go south,
the account manager won't be replaced.
It will be the company. All right?
[sighs]

so it seems like
they haven't gotten rid of it yet.
I think I know where it is.

I can't believe
you haven't eaten anything.
Hey, don't read too much into it.
Seung-jae probably just meant it
as a surprise gift. That's all.
Eun-hye is just overreacting.
That little brat.
That girl is so rude.
She's not even grateful
for all you've done.
[Seol-ah chuckles]
[Mr. Ahn] Hey, over here. [Sighs]
[Mr. Koo] Well, well. Mr. Cha from GI.
What brings you to our LI team dinner?
- Was I fired?
- You got yourself a new business card
and left us, huh?
So just stay in GI for good.
Mr. Ahn will handle
everything on our team.
Hey, man. Congrats on the exam.
Thank you. I'll work hard!
Now listen, just having the certificate
doesn't make you part of the SIU.
You need the kind of persistence
Cha-cha has.
Digging into Han Seol-ah
and uncovering all that.
You have to be consumed by curiosity,
utterly, madly obsessed to do this job.
Oh, yeah. So, Mr. Cha,
when you see a case,
do you just instinctively sense the smell
of a crime or something like that?
It's not like that.
It's just that if I miss something
there could be another victim.
Like Chae-rin or my sister.
And I can't let that happen.
- [clicks tongue]
- Well, all right.
You need a drink. Here. Come here. Yeah.
This kind of responsibility
and sense of duty,
these are the core values of the SIU.
You understand?
Do your best. All right?
- I will, sir.
- Good.
Here.
Your first official SIU mission.
Oh. What's this?
"Luen Palace"?
Uh…
So you want to know
who has that Stiller piece.
Hmm. It's not like I know everything.
Oh, please.
Your husband's the VP
at Christie's Hong Kong.
There's no way you wouldn't know.

Though it'll be her father

She's the EN Group heiress.

in your next auction.
So they can jack up her painting prices,
and resell what they bought
for a higher return?
I will too.
If you take this.

Oh, uh, well, I got hurt playing soccer.
Oh, man.

- If you want to pull a scam
at least put some effort into it,
you little bastard.
That hurts! Ow! This time it's for real!

Hey, don't you remember me?
I told you that I'd make

You little prick.
- Wait. Don't.
- Come here.

- Come here.
- Stay away! I said stay away!
[sighs, scoffs]
I'll escort you inside, sir.
This is the private viewing room
of our auction house.
Thank you so much for coming, sir.
We've prepared something special,
just for you, today.
Don't know why, but I'm excited.
This piece is noted for
its portrayal of human solitude,
done in a Baselitz-like style.
You've already figured out my taste
after just one auction with you?
[chuckles]
Actually, I really got the hint
from another art piece.
Why is this here?
This is the first piece
you entrusted to me,
so I wanted to give you a chance
to see it before the auction.
I thought that I'd never see it again.
But seeing it like this
feels much different.
I used to stop by Hong Kong
every vacation.
I happened to walk into a gallery
and saw this painting.
Before I knew it,
I'd been standing in front of it
for an entire hour.
It was a matter of fate
that you came across it.
[sighs]
It felt like I was falling in love.
By the end,
I was even getting a little choked up.
They call that Stendhal syndrome.
This painting was just the beginning.
There were a few more like it.
Would you like to come see them?
I'd really love to know what kinds
of work truly resonate with you,
on a deeper level.
[chuckles] Are you hungry?
[chuckles]
In China, they used to call this
loach-tofu soup "Diaochan tofu."
Diaochan? From Romance of
the Three Kingdoms?
Yes.
She was a beauty
who shook over the nation.
If you put loach and tofu together
in a hot stew,
the loach will burrow into the tofu,
looking for a place to hide.
In the end it ends up trapped
inside the tofu,
slowly meeting its death.
So you mean that Diaochan
is just like the tofu.
So, then who was the loach
that died in her arms?
I am not interested in who the loach was.
I just feel bad for Diaochan.
That woman…
Had nowhere to run.
[laughing]
I knew it.
[laughing] Oh.
All right.
Dig in.
Actually, there's something
I'd like to propose to you today, sir.
And what might that be?
Please entrust me
with the Emil Stiller piece.
You purchased it at Christie's Hong Kong.
Two years ago.
I'd like to feature it as
the main lot in our next auction.
So all this…
Wasn't about me.
You were just interested in that painting.
As you know,
there are many collectors in Korea
eager to get their hands
on Stiller's work.
I can guarantee you
at least a 30% increase
over the price you paid at Christie's.
It's a very tempting offer.
But it's a painting
that means a lot to me.
By any chance,
is there anything else in particular
you're looking for?
You know, people aren't motivated
by numbers alone.
I think you already know
what's really on my mind, Ms. Han.
[chuckles]
Since it's a piece you clearly cherish,
it only seems right to give you
some time to think it over.
Once you've settled on your conditions,
please be sure to let me know.

- [Gong] Oh?
Shh. Wait. Found them.
[Eun-gyeom] Oh, yeah. Card tapped.
The info should come right up.
[Seong-il sighs]
This person was trying
to hide their identity at all costs.
There's a good chance
they know the suspect.
[employee 1] Yeah.
- [employee 2] No.
- [employee 1] I thought so.
But I don't think
it matters at this point.
- [employee 1] Okay.
- [employee 2] Yeah.
[employee 1]
I'll get it to you. All right.
Luen Palace.
As you can see most of the listings
are live-work spaces.
LUEN PALACE
I'm guessing it's, I don't know,
some kind of secret hideout.
Hideout for what?
Like a spot for Kim Yun-ji
and Yoon Seung-jae's secret rendezvous.
There'd be too many eyes at hotels.
So how are you gonna find it?
Well, I'll do the legwork myself.
Are you serious?
I mean, do you know that there are
around 70 Luen Palaces in Seoul alone?
What? You knew all this time
and still made me do all that work?
Let's get some help from the experts.
Experts?
What experts?

I quit pulling wrist scams, okay?
Here, look. See? Totally fine.
Yeah, it better be.
After all the insurance money
we shelled out for your wrists.

Yes.

Ms. Do Eun-hye, your identity

You're sure, right?
You don't need to worry.

She's the one who killed her.
[Seol-ah] Do you still think
that I'm capable of killing someone?
[Woo-seok] A spyware app?
Did it ever cross your mind
that Kim Yun-ji knew too much?
[Ms. Kim] In the end, you're gonna die
by that woman's hand too.
[Woo-seok] Paek Jun-beom.
You knew she was stalking you, didn't you?
I don't have the right to fall apart.
[Woo-seok] Then what happened
to Ms. Han Seol-ah's family?
[Eun-hye] Han Seol-ah
was the only one who survived.
What if Han Seol-ah just happened
to have a string of bad luck?
[Eun-gyeom] Then is she a suspect now too?
[Seong-il] You'll need
a rock solid alibi to get out of this.
