A Bona Fide Killer (유부녀 킬러)

(This is a fictional story. All characters and events bear no relation to reality)

(under the guardian and expert supervision per guidelines)

Republic of Korea!

Republic of Korea!

Republic of Korea!

Pickpockets taking advantage of the World Cup crowds in the square!

Pickpocket! Pickpocket!

I do like soccer, but I'm really not here to have fun.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll even get a shot for a police sketch, huh?

I've got the bait set up absolutely perfectly.

I'm hanging up.

Hey, you in the red cap, stop!

That one is a fake.

The real one, loaded with cash, is this.

Darn it!

Darn it!

If you don't want your picture taken, at least give me an interview!

The old man told me to keep a low profile for a while.

You know I always listen to my backer.

Hey, I heard that dead delivery guy was a widower with kids.

Man, of all people, you had to hit a guy like that with your car?

Hey, what on earth are you talking about?

The whole front end of my 300-million-won babe got wrecked.

I'm the victim here.

Hey, we scored! We scored!

Jeez, so what?

Hello?

Oh, my, these darn things are pissing me off so much.

Oh, it's Dumbass Korea, you punks!

Meeting concluded.

Is it over?

It's finally over.

Relax, rookie.

Get that cramp out of your leg too.

Pardon? I wasn't nervous or anything...

Half of a meeting is just waiting.

So what does that require?

Endurance.

I should work on my strength.

Good work, Ms. Yoo.

You did a pretty good job too.

I can leave with peace of mind.

What?

Leave? Where? Who's leaving?

Excellent work for your first meeting. Good job.

Take the emergency stairs down to the first floor.

Exit through Gate 3 and blend into the crowd.

Okay.

But you can't watch the soccer match. What are you going to do?

I'm not interested.

Really? That's unusual.

You're not interested either.

That's why you scheduled a meeting on a day like this.

Hey, that's because today is a good day to hold a meeting.

But, Ms. Yoo,

do you have any interest in anything besides work?

Have you picked up any movement right now?

Around the emergency stairs.

Pardon?

No.

Other than the security office, the whole building is empty.

Then rewind and see if we missed anything.

Since I came upstairs.

Is something wrong?

Let me know if you find something.

Ms. Yoo.

About ten minutes ago, two men ran in through Gate 3.

It looked like they were chasing each other.

They went into the emergency stairwell one after another.

Five minutes later, only the first man came back out.

I missed them.

I'm sorry, Ms. Yoo.

Okay. Keep watching.

But what...

You should be more careful.

Yes, someone has collapsed and is bleeding from the head on the fifth floor

of the emergency stairs at King Tower.

I think he's going to die if you don't get here quickly.

Try to stay alive if you can.

Looks like they won the soccer game too.

One victim is enough for today.

Let me see.

Ugh, what?

Hold still.

- Wait, what is it? - Let me see.

Oh, come on. What is it?

Looks like your head's still attached.

Are you insane?

Oh, right, I can walk starting today.

Hey, hey, hey! Hey!

It feels weird.

If you saw a pickpocket, you should've called the police.

Why did you chase him, you punk?

I think I've got a cramp.

How do you give me the same lecture every time you visit?

Impressive, really.

Ugh, I've heard it enough already.

You think this is funny? You feel like laughing right now?

You just woke up after four months, you crazy punk.

How could you call someone with a head injury "crazy"?

Oh, right!

You still haven't caught the guy who hit me from behind, right?

Don't go trying to catch him yourself.

Why?

Because I think you'd actually kill him if you caught him.

Of course, I would. Completely.

You really...

Hey!

Did you even know the rooftop

where you collapsed was the Kingfisher sniper's position?

Exactly. Oh! What a darn waste.

If I hadn't cracked my head, I could've met Kingfisher.

You probably would've.

Instead, you would've had a hole in your head, you punk.

That's defamatory toward Kingfisher.

Why? Because I'm an innocent citizen.

I can't tell if you are lucky or unlucky...

I'm really anxious about what kind of woman will take you away.

Manager Yoo, you don't have to come by so often. I feel bad about it.

It's not like being sick is anything to brag about.

You got hurt doing your job.

How are you feeling?

Maybe it's because I'm getting older. Even my bones aren't healing properly.

Oh, you've all been through a lot because of me, right?

Everyone's worried about you.

You know you need to be careful about complications after a traffic accident?

Then this...

Darn it.

This is good.

- This? - Yeah.

Oh, by the way,

I hear the rookie is pretty capable.

Yeah, after Assistant Manager Son quit,

I was worried about how to fill such a big vacancy.

But now I can breathe easier.

The vacancy you left is even bigger, Director.

Please get well and come back soon.

I can't leave in peace until you're back.

Manager Yoo, have you made up your mind?

Are you really going to quit?

I think I'm just tired.

Yeah. I can understand that.

They say even ordinary people can burn out after working for ten years.

You've been working nonstop. No wonder you're exhausted.

Right?

And this isn't exactly an ordinary line of work, right?

It's endless, no matter how much you do.

And the world stays exactly the same.

I understand how you feel.

Manager Yoo.

Could you reconsider it one more time?

For now, stay off on-site meetings.

Just take it easy, okay?

Just a moment!

Come down. Hurry.

Come on, slow down!

Why?

Huh? "Why?"

Oh, why...

Because life is precious?

What I'm trying to say is,

after nearly dying recently, I realized a few things.

I mean...

Just looking at the sky, watching the leaves change.

"Wow, I'm glad I'm alive."

"It's good to be alive."

Joking around with friends, getting nagged by your family...

Worrying about silly things like,

"What should I eat today?" or "What should I wear tomorrow?"

That ordinary everyday life is so precious. It really is precious.

So...

I hope you live and don't die.

Says life is precious, yet here you are smoking,

especially after you nearly died?

Isn't that a little much?

This isn't mine. I just found it on my way here...

Take care.

Enjoy your ordinary life, one day at a time.

Excuse me!

Have we met before?

No.

I'm sure I've seen you before.

Even your voice sounds familiar.

Oh, I'm sorry. I...

I injured my head, so I think I'm a little out of it.

I'm sure my memory will come back once I fully recover, right?

"Kwon Tae Seong."

He works for an online news outlet.

I looked through some of his past articles.

His focus is on social justice

and protecting the vulnerable.

He's a pretty rare type of reporter these days.

But why him?

Just in case, for precaution. Keep going.

Is this why you're interested in him?

Every article about Kingfisher in this outlet was written by him.

I skimmed through them.

He doesn't really.

take a negative stance on Kingfisher.
