Stealer: The Treasure Keeper (스틸러: 일곱 개의 조선통보)

I bet that was Skunk.

He buys the item first,

then steals the money?

You always want to look cool, don't you?

Seven Joseon Tongbo coins with holes.

Who'd teach them a lesson if I don't?

Those who are always protected by the law...

should be punished by an outlaw.

You...

You're unbelievable.

"Seven damaged Joseon Tongbo coins."

Set off right now!

Must I keep failing?

Forgive me. I will never fail again.

Hwang Dae Myeong, you are under arrest.

Don't crush on me. You're not my type.

That's bull.

Let us meet Skunk.

So who is he?

It's me. I'm Skunk.

I'm Skunk.

Why you...

Welcome to Team Karma.

You are wicked reactionary rebels who dared to go against...

the Great Japanese Empire.

However...

Scum of the earth that lives off the blood of your own people.

You will suffer the wrath of the heavens.

Soon, you'll receive a punishment...

bestowed by the Emperor of Japan.

Do it.

Hiroshi!

Hiroshi.

Listen carefully.

From now on, speak only the Joseon language.

Your name's now Kim Young Soo, okay?

Now come with me. Get up.

Wow, how impressive.

Kim Young Soo, the new Minister of Construction...

was born to independence activists during the Japanese rule.

He was the youngest man to pass the bar exam,

and after rising up the ranks as a prosecutor,

he took an important role in the KCIA...

where he utilized his skill.

These are from a Baekje king's tomb...

found while paving the roads.

My gosh.

Clean up the whole site.

Inform the media of the tomb tomorrow.

Have Professor Yoo's team do the excavation.

Move all this to the foundation's storage.

Yes, sir.

These are notes written by...

the tomb's owner about eternal life.

It's a list of nonsensical stories.

Plant of eternal youth, water of life,

rock of eternal life, among others.

"Rock of eternal life?"

This book was stolen from the excavation site...

of a Baekje tomb.

Are you saying this book...

also mentions the rock of eternal life?

- Yes. Take a look. - Okay.

It's a book written in diary format by the head of...

the Japanese army that specialized in stealing treasures...

that worked during the Japanese Invasion of 1592.

I see.

Kept in a secret room...

under the main shine of a temple.

The size of a man's fist.

- A shining red... - "A shining red,"

"transparent rock."

"A blinking, brilliant light."

"A mysterious rock with great energy."

"Eternal life."

"Eternal life."

This place is pretty run-down. It's old.

But we're allowed to use the space for free.

Anyway, I hope you understand.

You should sit. Hey, get a chair.

- Oh, okay. - Right.

Are you all right?

Chang Hoon, did you not check the desks?

Sorry. Would you like to sit here?

- Yes. - Sit here.

Over here.

I don't think we can talk long.

- Get to the point. - Oh, shall we?

So...

Mr. Hwang must've given you the gist.

We want to help with what you're doing.

We have all sorts of information,

and there are things you can't do alone...

First, talk to me about that book.

Okay. Sure.

- Let's work together. - Okay.

But I have a condition.

Once we recover Joseon's treasures,

the next target is Mugunghwa Foundation.

Well, you needn't worry about that.

We'll work on that together from now on.

Anyway, thanks for making the tough call.

So, in the future,

since I don't see the need to contact you through Dae Myeong...

That's only natural. He is my greatest partner.

As if he is.

It looks like we're done here.

Give me the follow-up instructions through Dae Myeong.

Sure.

- I'll leave first, then. - Okay.

Bye.

It's dry because it's winter.

- Okay. - You were right, Captain.

The flower and crane celadon vase. It was Skunk, after all.

I must say, it is impressive.

Anyway, what does Mugunghwa Foundation do?

Oh. During the military dictatorship,

it was a secret agency under the Ministry of Construction,

which was in charge of finding cultural assets.

Now, it's an organization whose goal is to protect cultural assets.

The Ministry of Construction was in charge of finding cultural assets?

Back then, they were busy digging up the ground all over the country...

to develop land and build new cities,

and they discovered countless archaeological sites.

And every single time, Mugunghwa was the first to arrive at the scene.

The royal tombs that were discovered back then...

were not known before,

but every single one of them was missing the key artifacts.

The Minister of Construction at the time was none other than...

Kim Young Soo.

Well, it happened so many times.

Rumor has it that the artifacts that Mugunghwa stole back then...

were used to financially back some powerful politicians...

and to create a slush fund.

Something's very fishy about them.

But the most important thing is that...

the artifacts they couldn't take care of back then...

are still in Kim Young Soo's possession.

That jerk...

We've joined forces to teach those jerks a lesson.

Yes, Captain.

All right, Chang Hoon.

Starting tomorrow, focus on tracking down Doctor Ko.

- Yes, Captain. - Good.

Min Woo, you're looking into Viper, right?

- Viper? - Yes.

Oh, the one who has been murdering people...

because of the Joseon Tongbo coins with holes?

- Yes. - Yes, I'm looking into him.

Good. Hey, how about you work...

- on the Doctor Ko case too? - Pardon me?

- Hey, give her the list. - Sure.

We need a fresh set of eyes.

You're new, you know. So take a look...

and try to figure out what we're missing.

Okay?

- Yes, sir. - Good.

I like how eager she is.

All right. We really need to step up our game now.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir.

- I'll meet Kim Young Soo tomorrow. - Already?

I should start provoking that fox now so he'd make a move.

He needs to make a move for him to make a mistake.

Let's go!

Are you sure this is the right thing to do?

We need their help, you know.

Even so, a thief joining hands with the police...

It will be dangerous.

No, don't worry.

I've got nothing to lose anyway.

Anyway, who are you now? Skunk or Hwang Dae Myeong?

What?

Either wear the mask or take off the suit.

You keep confusing me.

Are you all right?

Dae Myeong.

Dae Myeong.

Mom, I'm home.

I'm fine now,

so go get some rest.

You have quite the temper, just like your master.

Is he about two years old?

Hey, what's your name?

I see. You can't speak human language?

What about you guys? You can't speak?

Hey, what happened to your face?

- Who beat you up... - He went hiking at night...

and rolled down the slope.

Oh, sir! How have you been?

It's been a while.

Go inside and get some rest.

Oh, boy. You must've rolled down a jagged slope.

Report it to the police!

Oh, my.

What's with this fuss at this early hour?

You barged into my home for no reason.

I was in the area, so I just wanted to stop by and say hello.

Now that you've said hello, you should get going.
