Kim Baek-du, did you find it? Come on and bring it here.

Okay.

Come on.

Hurry!

FIRST GEUMGANG -CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP

24-HOUR SCENE

Hey, it's starting now.

We received reports

of rampant pickpocketing around the subway station

and went to investigate in hopes of gathering information.

Most pickpockets' eyes

are fixed on people's belongings

such as handbags, rather than people.

KIM GEUM-GANG FIRST GEUMGANG -CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP

EPISODE 4 I KNOW WHAT YOU DID THAT DAY

I didn't say anything wrong.

I can say that much because she's married.

And why is she still so violent? Jeez.

Darn it.

And she's been lying to me, saying that she wasn't Du-sik.

What about that?

Why are you so surprised? As if you didn't know.

Hey.

- Oh Du-sik, you… - Baek-du.

No matter how hard you try, I can see right through you.

So stop saying you hate ssireum. You don't even mean it.

Come back while I ask nicely.

Du-sik, look.

- Why are you doing this to me-- - Because I need you.

Both the team and I need you.

We need you, Baek-du.

I…

really need you to be here.

Well, but…

Is this okay?

What do you mean?

I mean, you…

You're married.

And?

Well, since you're married now

and have a husband,

maybe you're not supposed to say

things like that to me.

Okay. Keep going.

Don't put me in a bind.

Wait, what are you thinking?

Me and you?

Kim Baek-du!

Have you lost your mind?

- That hurts. - Stay away from me.

- Or I'll kill you. - Wait, Du-sik.

If you come near me, I'll throw you.

- Wait. - Got it?

- Hey. - You must be crazy.

- Wait. - I can't believe this.

Wait a moment. You…

- What's the matter? - Be quiet.

Why?

What is it? Du-sik!

If that's not what it is, why would she need me?

And why would she look at me like that?

Kim Baek-du must have completely lost his mind.

I mean, what does he take me for?

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.

Seriously.

That was insulting.

And absolutely humiliating.

What?

Honey.

Could you please stop calling me "honey"?

Ms. Chu.

Ms. Chu.

- What does that mean? - Ms. Chu is here.

Too late to put on a show.

I heard you arguing out there.

Is this really your best?

Captain, what are you doing here?

Why?

- I'm not allowed to come here? - That's not it.

This tastes bad.

On the day Choi died, he had a fight with someone.

A CCTV here caught it.

Mom, did you hear?

The new general manager of the ssireum team recommended

Baek-du as the new coach.

CONGRATULATIONS ON RETIREMENT

What's there to hesitate about?

This is a rare opportunity, you know.

But it's kind of awkward.

What's so awkward? Just suck it up and do it.

Jin-su…

I'm putting him in a somewhat awkward position now.

He even turned down the other coaching position to come here.

Goodness, our baby brother has such a kind heart,

worrying about four-time champion Jin-su.

You're definitely going to heaven.

Seriously, you better worry about yourself.

Did you see Jin-su's car?

His car costs more than your salary.

Who are you to talk?

It's not just about Jin-su.

How can I be a coach when I've never won a championship?

I told you. It doesn't matter.

God, you're so frustrating.

Look.

Father won numerous championships,

but he's horrible at teaching.

The ability to convey information and help others understand.

Hey, what's it called? Making others understand things.

Teaching. Father can't teach.

Right. Teaching. Teacher.

- "Ching"? - Yes, that.

Anyhow, just act cool and accept the job.

This is a great chance!

Gosh, enough already.

Stop trying to convince me. I made up my mind. Just stop it.

You're going to freeze and starve!

Hey!

Jeez, what do I do with that clueless punk?

Just leave him alone.

If it doesn't work out, I can start livestreaming with him.

How strange.

Where did it go?

Everything else is here except that one.

What are you looking for?

You know the tape from when you won the championship for the first time?

- I want to review that. - Okay.

But that's the only tape that's missing.

- Did you take it? - No, I don't know where it is.

Baek-du!

How strange.

There's one thing I don't quite understand.

Why did Choi Chil-seong come out to the boondocks with an APB out on him?

If I were him, I would've fled overseas with the money and lay low.

Old habits die hard. He was probably trying to score some cash here.

From a ssireum game in the boonies? After all the big games?

He would've been too proud for that.

And besides, Choi Chil-seong is dead now.

- So-- - Then go.

I didn't ask you to follow me here.

You think I wanted to come here?

I'm here because Captain told me to come.

What a loving family.

Hey.

How long do you think you can hold out here like this?

Just pack up then.

And come with me when I head back to Seoul later.

So what's your point?

What do you want to do?

I don't think it's too late

- to publicize the investigation-- - No.

Because we need to find out why Choi came to Geosan, whom he met,

and who killed him.

Yu-gyeong, are you sure about this?

You're certain you can uncover all that?

Yes.

Is that so?

- Then give it a go. - Captain.

You can't stay undercover for long anyway.

So either find Choi's ledger or the murder suspect as soon as possible.

Understood?

This is all because of Oh Du-sik.

Now, I'm in a pickle.

She's definitely trying to screw me over.

She must've had all this planned out and…

That lady…

The smoke ring?

But what's she doing here?

He actually made a fair point.

If you don't find anything soon, I'll call you back.

Okay.

And you, keep an eye on her. If she loses it again, call me right away.

Yes, ma'am.

You guys.

You're not arguing every day, are you?

- No, ma'am. - No, ma'am.

You better behave. I'll be keeping an eye on you.

You guys make me so worried.

Don't follow me. You'll only give me a headache.

- Yes, ma'am. - Have a safe trip back.

Go now.

You fool.

Why do you let her walk all over you like that?

Can you believe it?

This is just ridiculous!

Now, my boy Jin-su has nowhere to go.

This is a funny situation indeed.

But Jin-su shouldn't have come

just after that one talk with Head Coach Park.

- He should've signed the contract-- - What?

Hey, look.

How would he have known things would turn out this way?

He came because Head Coach Park begged him to.

Jin-su didn't do anything wrong, except for being tender-hearted!

I didn't say he did something wrong.
