You.

When did you die?

I am still alive.

No!

You are an evil spirit who died more than a century ago.

Stop lingering in this world.

You don't belong among the living!

I told you I am not dead!

Stop!

Leave the young girl's body!

Leave her body!

Mom. Please help me.

Help me. Mom!

You're going to kill my daughter!

Lady! You'd better brace yourself.

We must end it here!

Stop!

Mom!

Leave her body, you evil spirit!

Leave her body, you evil spirit!

Go away!

Dissipate!

Forever!

Oh, my.

Mr. Shaman!

Mr. Shaman!

Sir, are you all right?

What happened to her granddaughter?

She took a long nap. When she woke up,

she finished a whole bowl of rice.

I am glad...

that I was able to save one more before my time is up.

Thanks to you,

so many people got their lives back.

I don't deserve the credit.

It was all possible because the General looked out for us.

He's coming.

Who's coming?

My grandson, Cha Woong.

He will come to serve the General.

You should come out now.

- Oh, no! What if he can't untie it? - Hey.

Oh, no.

- Come out already. - Oh, no.

Come out now.

Me?

- What? My hairpin. - How did he do that?

- What's going on? - How did he do that?

- Cha Cha Woong! - Cha Cha Woong!

- Cha Cha Woong! - Cha Cha Woong!

- Cha Cha Woong! - Cha Cha Woong!

Can you all believe it?

You must be trying to figure out my trick in your heads.

Tricksters and magicians.

There's a fine line between them.

Would you like to find it yourself?

If you can figure out even one of my magic tricks,

I will...

give you full refunds for your tickets.

Not just full refunds. But ten times the ticket price.

Keep your eyes open and try to figure out my tricks.

Cha Cha Woong's Magic Show.

It begins now.

- You seduced my boyfriend! - No. It's a misunderstanding.

- A misunderstanding, my foot. - Help me.

You seduced my boyfriend.

Her boyfriend dumped her. She must be in shock.

- What? - Can you stop her?

He didn't dump me. You stole him from me!

No violence, please.

My goodness.

There must be a misunderstanding. Why don't you talk it out?

Gosh. Let go of my arm! Come on. Get your hand off me!

It's not a misunderstanding!

He's been avoiding me ever since we had a meal with her.

I knew it. You were smiling at him so sweetly that day.

Did you smile sweetly at him?

No. My eyes are half-moon-shaped by nature.

Look. People get the wrong idea that I'm flirting with them.

And being cute isn't my fault, right?

She's lost it. Do you have a death wish?

Oh, no!

- Goodness. I mean... - Seul Hae.

- What do you think you're doing? - Well...

Get me a towel. Oh, no! I need a towel!

Stop!

Both of you, sit down.

Or I'll arrest you for obstruction of justice.

Thank you.

All right. Let me sum it up.

You don't have any hard evidence.

But based on your suspicions, you jumped to conclusions, right?

Gosh. I just lost it.

I'm sorry.

Hey, we've been friends for ten years.

How could I ever do something like that?

Right. I can tell that you two are best friends.

And you two recently went to Jeju Island, right?

Jeju Island?

Well, it comes with the job. You know?

I'm good at picking things up.

This is the tissue you gave me.

And you took out yours from your bag.

Didn't you get them during your trip?

How...

Gosh, this is nothing to be surprised about.

Being observant is the first step in any investigation.

This pack of tissues...

was in my boyfriend's car when he broke up with me.

- You! - Gosh.

Did you even go to Jeju Island with my boyfriend?

Fine. I did. So what?

He asked me to go with him!

What? How dare you?

- You should've kept an eye on him. - How could you do that to me?

- He flirted with me first! - How could you?

- Why you little... - Stop it.

- He asked me out first! So what? - How could you do that?

- What do you want? - Wait.

- Get your hands off me. - Stop it!

Darn it. Those ladies sure know how to make it sting.

You had it coming.

- You were asking for it, right? - Pardon?

He probably means to say you have a way of causing trouble.

You could have just kicked them out of the coffee shop.

Why did you have to get involved?

What was the point of listening to their sob story?

Why did you make it worse than it already was?

Sir.

You know why the police's mascot has big ears, right?

It means that we are supposed...

to listen to people's stories with our big ears.

I only did what I was obligated to as a police officer.

Goodness. If you try to fulfill your obligation one more time,

you will end up getting me fired.

You said you wanted to become a detective.

Could you hurry up?

Of course. I'll become a detective. I'll make sure of it.

- I already put in my request. - You little...

Everyone knows how competent Officer Ko is.

I'm not sure if the Detective Division can handle her.

If the Detective Division doesn't take you,

come up with a fake culprit. Drag him there if you have to.

You do that because your presence here is killing me.

I'm done for the day.

- Bye, sir. - Bye, sir.

Hey, what did you say?

- Nothing. - Bye, sir.

Hey, do we not have a Band-Aid at the station?

Put a Band-Aid on it. So your pretty face doesn't get a scar.

Yes, sir.

If you end up with a scar, ask those girls...

to pay for the plastic surgery treatment.

Yes, sir.

Salute!

Mr. Cha. I think we should skip the next performance.

- What? - There's a problem...

with the arrow shooting machine.

The timing is a bit off.

Are you out of your mind? That's the highlight of the show.

But if it goes wrong, the show might end really badly.

Just do your job.

A Reum. You need to stay focused.

I could have died if you were three seconds late earlier.

Chief Nam. Your stomach is bulging a bit.

Don't breathe starting now.

Director Ma...

What?

Your back can hurt a bit. It won't kill you. Just man up.

"There's no law saying that you should?" There is.

Didn't you know?

I am the law here.

Did anyone figure out the secret...

behind my tricks?

Then here's your last chance.

While I ride the motorcycle around the stage,

you can shoot these arrows at me.

Simple, isn't it?

Is there anyone who would like to try?

He'll volunteer.

You'll volunteer?

- That's a real arrow. - It's real?

- Gosh. - Really?

Come on. This is a real arrow! You murderer!

- Are you all right? - Are you seriously asking me that?

I almost died.

It's...

showtime.

Officer Ko?

Hey, Min Ho.

I can tell that you had a case today.

If you're on your way home. I can drop you off.

Anyone who doesn't wear a helmet will get a 20,000 won fine.

Gosh. An off-duty police officer is still a police officer, right?

I'm even scared to offer a ride.

You must feel safe when your neighbour is a police officer.

Why would you be scared?

Right. You must have a lot of work. You've been coming home late.

I started delivering food at night.
