Siren's Kiss (세이렌)

EPISODE 8

Hmm…

The truth is, I used to have nothing, like an orphan in the middle of a war.

It takes a very thick mask to stand there and pretend that everything is fine.

Who are you, really?

Why did you approach me when you already knew Su-ho?

Do you think I'm trying to blame you for Su-ho's death?

Is that what you think?

Do you think…

I'm getting revenge on you for him?

I watching Su-ho be happy and sad.

Also tormented all because of a woman named Han Seol-ah.

And I always wondered, "What kind of person is she?"

The moment I saw you, I understood everything.

She's the kind of woman a man would risk his life for.

So then…

Are you saying you ended up falling for the woman who caused your friend's death?

Hmm…

If Su-ho were still alive, I wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

But my friend's no longer in this world,

and you and I are here, under the same sky.

Anything else?

Do you need to hear another truth?

J.B. PAEK

Sir. Are you all right, sir?

What's going on?

The fire alarm went off. We're checking on it.

Find out what's going on!

Yes, sir.

Let's finish this later.

Due to the fire alarm being activated,

all employees are requested to evacuate the building.

Please avoid the elevators

and use the stairs to find your nearest exit.

Get in, quick!

YOUR HOME CONTROL CENTER

Stop right there.

Next one.

Another angle.

Stop, right there.

Nice black cap…

103S 4549

103S 4549

So, it was Mr. Paek who…

He's the one who ordered the hit.

The alarm suddenly went off earlier, so I couldn't press him for more, but…

I did that.

I was worried you'd be in danger.

My office will handle the arrangements.

Stay overseas for a while.

I didn't think this day would come so soon.

If Mr. Paek tried to have Mr. Lee Kwang-jin killed,

could it mean he's done this before?

Yeah, there's a good chance that he might have.

I don't get it.

Even if this is revenge on Su-ho's behalf, this is way too extreme.

I think Paek Jun-beom

already knows what information was taken from the server,

and in that state, he'll do anything.

If we track his movements after Syria and put pressure on him...

Then what if you become his next target, Woo-seok?

It'd be even better.

His henchman's been exposed.

Paek Jun-beom will have to trip himself up now.

Why are you being so reckless?

Are you worried about me?

Yes, of course.

Well, that's enough for me.

AHN *****-SOO / M / 980205

Mr. Ahn, how long do I have to keep hiding?

I'm tired of this.

We're just worried you'll be in danger again.

My wife thinks I'm having an affair because I won't even tell her where I am.

Mr. Ahn. Looks like you're out.

Want play poker now or what?

- Mr. Cha! - Hey.

Feeling any better?

The doctor said it'd be good to relieve some stress,

so I'm recovering by emptying Mr. Ahn's wallet.

- - He's a killer at cards.

Oh, man…

Jun-beom…

Why would Jun-beom target me?

I just can't believe it.

He just didn't want the two of us to meet.

There's definitely more

to the relationship between Lee Su-ho and Paek Jun-beom.

The Jun-beom I know has no reason to do this.

He's not the type to do something like this.

A shameful secret that shouldn't be known to the world.

Something no one should ever know.

I can't think of anything.

Well, if you happen to, then please let me know.

I've almost got this puzzle solved…

But there's a piece missing.

The most important one.

GANGHA POLICE STATION

- - They've issued a travel ban

on Kim Sung-hae.

Hit-and-run, attempted murder.

There's more than enough evidence.

The problem is Paek Jun-beom.

This illegal evidence from Woo-seok isn't enough to charge him with murder.

Do you think that he also had Kim Sung-hae kill Kim Yun-ji?

That doesn't explain Paek Jun-beom's motive, though.

He's got a lot to lose.

In cases like this, isn't it love or a grudge?

Let's bring him in as a witness then, and we'll see what kind of person he is.

All right.

- -

Oh, hello there.

- You're here. - What's up?

I called, but you didn't answer.

You called me?

Captain, why don't you just head back home with your wife tonight?

Oh, I just wanted to drop off some clothes for him

and some snacks for you guys.

You haven't had a proper meal yet, have you?

Wow, this isn't just any midnight snack. It's Chungmu gimbap.

Most people get bored of regular gimbap.

- We will definitely enjoy this. -

Come on. Let's sit down and eat.

Oh, this looks delicious.

NONGHYUP LIFE INSURANCE

Taemyung Cultural Foundation's accident?

FINE ART INSURANCE CLAIM FORM

A cargo truck crashed into the retaining wall and started a fire,

and five artworks were destroyed.

The insured amount alone is $7 million.

DRIVING RECORD CERTIFICATE HAN SEO-YUL

The driver is only 23 and hasn't had his license a year.

When moving high-value paintings like these, you never do it alone.

A team of professionals is sent.

FROM ARTIST STUDIOS TO YOU

They also send the ones with the most experience.

There's no way that they would handle this this carelessly.

It's possible this whole thing was staged.

- Anyway, get in touch with the GI's SIU. -

This case doesn't belong here. Not here.

We actually need some help from an art expert,

and I hear you and Ms. Han from Royal Auction

have gotten a bit closer.

Who said that?

I'll ask her.

Thank you so much.

Can you tell me how many bidders we've secured so far

for the Stiller piece?

Eleven so far, both phone and written bids.

Only three are confirmed so far, but we're still actively promoting it.

The price is so high, the hurdle is steep.

Same here. Three people interested in the piece.

Early bids will determine the momentum we have on this lot.

We need to make sure there's competition,

so please reach out to our VIPs again and keep me updated.

Sure.

About the catalog…

Sang-mi, I'd like you to complete the final review.

- Yes, Ms. Han. - All right, that is it for today.

Oh, wait, wasn't that something Yun-ji always handled?

Does that mean you might be going up on the rostrum as an assistant this time?

Not sure. Who knows what Ms. Han might be thinking?

Oh, man…

Wow, you're psychic. I was just about to call you.

Anything on Ju Hyun-su?
