[Discussion] When It's At Night

KBS invites his new colleagues to dinner (I think it's an expensive traditional restaurant? The place is huge.). He's trying to suck up to everyone. HC asks him how he came to the painting (the one from last episode) and KBS makes up some story about him being contacted by the thief/seller, and then fighting bravely against the guy (I guess when KBS - in that fantasy story of his - refused to pay for the painting?), and in the end he wins and gets the painting. Everyone is impressed, except for HC, who asks him about how the thief looked, and the rest of the team chimes in. Needless to say that KBS is in a defensive position now... More nasty looks from KBS toward HC, and HC looks as if she wants to say "See, told you that guy's a fraud".

Some time later, KBS and HC meet in the garden (I guess that HC or KBS went potty or something), and they have a brief conversation, in which HC says something that, by the tone of it, sounds like a "Not on my watch" thing. KBS grabs her by the arm and says something, but HC will have nothing about it and smacks KBS on the chest so he lets go. She leaves, royally miffed, while KBS is approached by the other lady in the team (forgot her name... so I call her Lady M for now), That Lady M apologizes to KBS for HC's rudeness. KBS seems embarrassed/unsettled... but he quickly turns on his usual charms again and whispers some "big secret" about HC to Lady M. That guy sure fights dirty.

The next day, the "big secret" makes it round, courtesy of Lady M. Consequently, when clueless HC shows up for work, the other female workers turn their back on her.

Cut to KBS, who makes himself comfortable in the team leader's office... resting his legs on the table. The two guys have a chat. KBS seems to complain to the team leader about HC, I think. The TL asks something, but KBS' mobile saves him from answering. It's the museum boss from last episode.

Cut to HC, who talks to her department boss (I think she's complaing about KBS? or is she talking about a case? not sure.) who seems to forbid her to do something... HC doesn't look very happy.

Cut to KBS, who is in the museum boss's office, sucking up by talking about some scroll that the museum boss shows him. Enter HC and her department boss. More nasty glances between HC and KBS. The museum boss tells them something (I guess about a valuable piece) and KBS cheerfully volunteers to take the job. The museum boss asks who will accompany KBS (I think) and HC, smelling impending disaster, volunteers to assist KBS, much to everyone's surprise and to KBS dismay. That smirk of his is priceless.

Cut to KBS telling the news to his colleagues (that guy's really milking for attention whenever he gets the chance!), and he apparently uses the chance to discredit HC. Lady M seems to volunteer to help him instead, but the other colleagues don't seem to think that's a good idea. Unfortunately for KBS, HC overheard part of the conversation.
Meanwhile, KBS has a flashback to meeting the museum echelons and does some thinking (probably about the case?) when he's ripped out of his thoughts by HC, who very friendly asks him about something, apparntly catching him on the wrong foot once more. He comes up with an answer that draws laughter from the colleagues. More nasty looks between KBS and HC. If friendliness could kill, KBS would be dead now, courtesy of HC. While KBS and HC leave (apparently to start the assignment), the colleagues gossip.

Cut to the highway, where KBS and HC drive in KBS smart white sports car. KBS is on the phone nonstop, talking to all kinds of people (basically showing off "look how important I am!"), while next to him, HC is getting more and more annoyed...
Still in the car... unfortunately for KBS, the person he's talking to hangs up on him (or the connection is interrupted?), and KBS starts talking to HC (who is still annoyed). The two trade more barbs, and when HC seems to hit a sore spot, KBS veers the car (why is he using violence whenever he's in a corner? Sore looser, that guy!), making HC even more angry. KBS thinks he's really cool as he blabs on, but all he manages is to piss off HC even more. Fortunately for KBS, she has no laser beams in her eyes... But I fear for his health if he keeps this up. The guy's tempting a saint.

Cut to the team examening a crime scene (there's a lot of antique stuff there, a smuggler? Illegal collection?). TL is on the phone, and Lady M sees her chance to get a piece of the action rather than being forced to take notes on her notepad... she seems to ask the TL if she can be teamed up with KBS... the TL asks why (seems he asks if she has a crush on KBS?) and Lady M laughs and tells some story that makes the TL laugh. Some higher echelons show up, completely ignoring the TL's greeting.

Cut to the countryside, where it's pouring. HC talks to two of her colleagues, they discuss the case, it seems. (The colleagues are placed much better now, actually doing their job rather than taking up airtime. Seems that the writers/director clamped down that problem!) The colleagues are not happy, but HC, all smiles, points out that the famous, wonderful Professor KBS is sitting right there and sure will be glad to assist. The colleagues beam.

Cut to KBS and HC standing in some sort of library, where it looks like a tornado hit. Scrolls are all over the place. KBS is somewhat dismayed, and HC tells him very sweet and gentle, what he has to do (apparently, he's to sort through the scrolls and find out if there's something valuable?). KBS is not pleased at all, but HC leaves and KBS gives in to his fate. Oh the sighs he's heaving! It doesn't help much that the two colleagues are having a quick snack in front of the window and leave him alone as well, after some remarks (I guess it's about him being an expert or something), but it's pretty clear that whatever they said keeps KBS from wiggling out of the situation. More sighing, and KBS sits down amongst the scrolls. He's not looking happy. And thus starts the sufferings of KBS, he's looking through the scrolls (sad accordeon tango music in the background... pooooor KBS. Not!), but he's not finding anything of interest. Bored, he tosses the scroll he's holding behind him, but then he overhears some old guys talking. He's spotted by one of the old guys, who recognizes him and the old guys gather around KBS. Must be a fan club... Happy KBS, he has an audience now - and you can see the smile returning to his face.

Cut to HC, who is interviewed by some old, local newspaper(?) reporter guy, but she smartly blocks off his search for information. TL and the rest of the team arrive. The perils of Lady M in the rain! TL tells HC that Lady M wants to assist? KBS... and where's that guy, anyway? HC tells TL that she made him examine the scrolls... but when she arrives at the room, instead of KBS, it's the old men going through the scrolls, playing experts! At the same time, KBS returns with a snack, smugly saying something (I guess about the old men wanting to help?). HC is just speechless.

Cut to KBS sending away his fan club. When they have left, HC applauds (that's a very sarcastic applause). More barb trading, albeit a bit less agressive now... perhaps HC thinks KBS is not worth getting annoyed over?

Cut to the team having dinner. HC steals looks at KBS (not what you think, just the "OMG I wished this day was ober already"-type of looks). There's some intelligent, serious case-discussion, and HC uses the chance to dig another verbal hole for KBS. He tries to climb out of it, but the round goes to HC - again. Food arrives.
More conversation, this time initiated by KBS - I guess it's more talk about the case - but HC is left out of the conversation(?) as the males talk. HC looks a bit awkward/uncomfortable, but I think it's the topic that makes her uncomfortable... She excuses herself and leaves, everyone is surprised, especially KBS.

Cut to HC standing alone outside and watching over the green, eyes brimming with unshead tears...

Cut to Flashback to the past, where she tries to stop her father from leaving. Ah, the sadness... (I think, this show is really meant to be a parody, it's totally over the top at times.. but episode 3 so far is considerably better than 1+2, much less disjointed and good to watch even without understanding a thing.) Daddy leaves, and young HC is yelling after him... End of Flashback.

Cut back to the present, where HC is still staring at the green, while KBS comes out and sees her standing there. For a moment, we see a slightly different side of KBS. He wonders what she's doing (and I wonder if he went after her?... ah no..)... it seems that the dinner is over because Lady M shows up and KBS is back to his normal charming self. He's following Lady M, but only after casting a thoughtful/worried look at forlon HC...
(and it's half through the episode...)

Back at the office, HC walks in on the TL, who is on the phone with his daughter. HC has a really sweet smile on her face. She seems to like the TL (though at this point, it's unclear wether it's out of sympath for his situation, or something else), but the smile turns sad. The TL ends his call. HC asks him something. You can tell that the two of them are very comfortable around each other, it's a very good working relationship, they seem to have a lot of respect for each other. Ohhh... there seems to be a little bit more involved here... do I sense some flirting? HC is showing her more shy side as the conversation progresses (no idea what it is about)... but their talk is cut short when the TLs mobile rings and they are called out to a case.

Cut to a warehouse, where two of their colleagues are already waiting for them. It seems that Kim Sang was released, and he's greeted by his henchmen. He does that "cast away bad luck" ritual you have to do when you are being released from jail (I think he's stuffing his face with tofu?), but his bad luck is already breathing down his neck, in shape of the TL and HC...
Kim Sang is testing his luck further by mocking HC and the fact that she's female, but the TL steps in before the twerp gets a smack in the face. Alas, there's nothing the TL can do, so Kim Sang walks away laughing loud (That laughter sounds so false! Oh my.), leaving a frustrated TL, HC and two colleagues behind.

Cut to Kim Sang driving with his henchmen along some road, with the team's car on his tail. Kim Sang and his henchmen talk, and KBS's name comes up. Uh-oh....

Cut to KBS, who's sorting through his fan mail (the man loves attention), when the female co-presenter (I think they are preparing for the show?) enters the room. KBS invites her to sit on his lap, which she does. But before they can start a hanky-panky, some guy enters, and the co-presenter quickly escapes. KBS has the decency to look embarrassed, while the guy makes some comments (I guess it's about how lucky a man KBS is that all the girls like him?). But different from normally, KBs cuts the guy off and they go to business. KBS examines the painting that the guy brought, and there's some more conversation, while KBS is obviously fully concentrated on the painting. After some more conversation (where KBS is seemingly trying to milk some information from the guy), the guy whispers something into KBS ear (what is it with whispering in this show?), leaving KBS very surprised, and you can basically see how the wheels in his brain start turning when he figures out something.... but before more can be revealed, KBS is called (to stage for his show?) and the guy gets very nervous, though KBS seems to tell him to stay calm.

Cut to the office, where HC gets a dressing down by her department boss. HC is not a happy camper.

Cut to the ladies restroom, where the latest gossip gets spread while the ladies are powdering their noses... Apparently, the topic is about KBS and HC... (Now, why am I not surprised?)... unfortunately for the ladies, HC has overheard their conversation, and, already in a bad mood, warns the ladies in a low voice. HC walks out of the restroom, and you can tell she's really, really miffed, muttering KBS name. (If I was KBS, I'd book a ticket to a deserted island, like, now!)

Cut to the studio, where the rehearsal for the show just ended. Behind the scenes, KBS is approached by his co-presenter, and the two use the situation for some hanky-panky... only to be interrupted by - HC! Who is apparently out for revenge, because she starts an argument with the co-presenter-lady with KBS at a total loss at what to do. Of course, the co-presenter believes everything HC says. LOL! HC knows what she's doing. So hilarious! Now KBS has to look for a new plaything, and he got slapped, too. Point, set and match to HC, who is extremly amused and can barely hide her grin.

Cut to KBS and HC having a conversation in private. KBS is fuming, but HC just lets his anger bounce of and instead lectures him (something about a drama?). Their barbs continue. I think KBS is reaching a new low level of insults, if you go by HC's expression/reaction... just to bad that she bounces back his words and leaves him in the defensive position! KBS is on his way to lose another verbal fight, it seems... and something slips out! He stops talking... and HC's reaction is to calmly show him a voice recorder, where she has recorded their entire conversation! And thusly, God's Gift to Womankind was outsmarted once again by our lovely HC. Oh boy! KBS expression is priceless! HC is completely in control of that situation now, and leaves a dumstruck KBS behind who is so upset he talks to himself.

Cut to a newspaper with an photo of KBS (made "unrecognizable"...or not... by a tiny black strip over his eyes), some headline (probably what KBS said to HC)... KBS reads it and is upset. The ladies from the museum all walk by and scold KBS, followed by the guys, and even the big boss scolds him, Lady M is in tears and the department boss scolds him as well... TL and the guys of team walk in...threatening KBS... looks like they are out for blood... and KBS shakes his head and fortunately, that was just his imagination running amok. He chases after HC, this is something he can't let happen!

Cut to HC leaving her Museum ID card at the museum's entrance, mumbling to herself about KBS, when the guy himself shows up, grabbing her by her arm to stop her from leaving (and again, KBS is physically agressive.. HC really should teach him a lesson at some point and sweep the floor with him). KBs tries to reason with her, but HC doesn't listen to his desperate words and is about to leave, when KBS drops one word (sounds like "pi-e-dam-jip"?), which makes her stop dead in her tracks. She turns around slowly while he's talking... and judging by her expression, KBs has opened a can of worms that should've better been kept close. KBS, in his arrogance, thinks he has something on her and the old confident smile is back... I think he wants her to delete the recording or he'll tell everyone about that pi-e-dam-jip thing/person. His victory is cut short when HC walks out on him without another word. (So much for KBS and blackmail. Try again, dude...) HC meanwhile, ran out with a troubled expression, but KBS can only see her back.

Cut to the street, where HC fishes for her mobile and calls someone (seems like she's issuing a warning?) and hails a taxi.

Cut to KBS, sitting over a glass of red wine at home, musing (and, for the viewer's convinience, muttering to himself) about what happened, but his conclusion doesn't answer his questions.

Cut to a restaurant, where HC is talking to a guy (I think that's the art trader guy from last episode) about pi-e-dam-jip and her father... I'd love to understand what is being said, this seems to be important dialogue. The conversation continues, and the background music changes to sad piano music (ah, the drama! *chuckles*). HC leaves the old man behind and walks home alone.

Cut to HC's little brother, who's burning his mouth while eating ramen. Enter HC. She starts a conversation about their father, but HC's brother doesn't like the topic. He puts down his chopsticks and says the two questions HC wants to ask about their father - before she can actually ask them -, one he answers with "Yes", the other with "No". It's pretty obvious that the topic if his father is a sore spot for the brother, and it clearly is something that still causes hurt to both siblings. (Someone should kill that piano player... there's over-the-top and there's overkill. This is definitely the latter!)

Cut to HC sitting on her bed and listening to voices of the past while staring at the photo of her family. She's very sad. (Methinks, KBS, lad, you really shouldn't have crossed that line... you're really going to be dead now.)
While the piano-music finally ebbs off, HC decides to use her time more productively and starts reading in some large file about artefacts. She has barely started, when her mobile vibrates happily into the silence. She takes it and when she reads who's the caller, her face scrounges (uneducated guess - it's probably KBS...) and she throws the vibrator mobile on the blanket...

Cut to KBS, who bristles over the fact that his call is being ignored. But he's true to himself and decides that he shouldn't try continuing to call her, but rather use the right timing. (Dude, haven't you learned anything?) He seems placated with his master plan, grabs his pillow, closes his eyes and leans back on his sofa (does he plan on sleeping there?), muttering something that sounds like "chamcham"... but the peaceful period only last about a second, because suddenly, his eyes fly open, he tosses the pillow aside and starts ranting again.

Cut to HC, who is getting annoyed over yet another call of KBS-dearest. She ignores his call, but if his intention was to try to negotiate something, I think he can forget about that, because she grabs her handbag and takes out the recorder, saying with an angry face "Kim Bum Sang".

Cut to KBS, who sneaks around HC's office the next morning, but instead runs into a lady called Lee Sun Young (according to her nametag), and reading the name from her name tag, he pretends to recall her name. He turns on his charming/flirting mode again to get some information from her, which the lady supplies... only to ask a question of her own, which has KBS baffled... and the lady leaves him standing there. It seems that HC's plan is in motion. KBS talks to himself again, seems that he's pushed neatly out of balance by whatever HC is doing.
His mobile rings, it's HC and he yells at her.

Cut to the outside of the museum. KBS comes running to HC, who is waiting for him in the yard. HC has the recorder with her and it seems like she wants to make a deal. KBS smells morning air and tries to dictate conditions (I think), but HC turns the tables on him by calling a newspaper(?). KBS panics and grabs her arm to stop her. Again, HC controls the situation, KBS is trying to show off he's cool and still thinks he can get in a chip, but it looks more like a sore looser than ever. They finally come to some sort of agreement. (I think he says he'll find her father, or something... his confidence in his abilities will get him flattened someday.)

Cut to some art shop. HC is waiting outside while KBS talks to the trader. It doesn't seem to be KBS' day...

Cut to some pool billiard place, where KBS talks to a pool player. But again, he's out of luck. Meanwhile, HC calmly stands by (or rather, plays pool), much to his annoyance.

Cut to some restaurant, where KBS meets another of his contact persons (the guy from earlier who met him in the studio). HC sits at the next table and pretends to read the newspaper, overhearing everything that is said. But instead of informations about HCs father, the contact gets out some painting (stolen, undoubtably), and KBS gets all panicky. Too bad that HC has noticed it... The contact person recognizes her and runs away in fear. I think that this is one guy that won't show up again. HC slaps KBS on the shoulder and tells him to get up. So far, all of KBS sources have not produced any results...

Cut to the two of them walking down the street. I think that KBS is slowly loosing his cool, he's out of options and he knows it. HC again has the upper hand in this scene, giving him an encouraging slap on the shoulder before she walks off. KBS bristles, but has no other choice but following her.

Cut to a golf place, it's Kim Sang practicing his hit-off.

Cut to a parking lot, where the TL is on surveilance. Lady M shows up and hands him an envelope with information. TL and Lady M talk (no idea what they are talking about), when Kim Sang and his henchmen return to their car. Lady M finally gets her long-wanted action, when the perps drive off and TL follows. Car chase! Lady M ist almost wetting her panties, and TL hasn't just to deal with driving, but also with Lady M. She almost causes him to crash the car, and the perps manage to escape. Lady M stops screaming and pretends to be cool again, but I hope she got the message...

Cut to Bad Guy Central, where Kim Sang practices his Evil Laughter(Trademark applied for) again... He's talking to his henchmen, and everyone's having a great time. Kim Sang seems to have a sadistic streak, too. (Should prove interesting should KBS or HC ever fall into his hands...)

Cut to some restaurant, where HC and KBS have dinner. They have a conversation, and the tone has changed, KBS is much less arrogant than he used to be (and starved, too, telling by the way he digs in). They have some more conversation, but the peacefulness ends quickly when KBs starts his barbs again... Seems like the food revitalized him. HC, who was on her way to relax a bit around KBS (that's how it looked, at least), remembers why she hates the guy and leaves him... but not before telling him that there's something stuck in his teeth - he really falls for that, and once more he's forced to chase after her.

Cut to outside of the restaurant. It's raining again. But neither HC nor KBS came with an umbrella... Oh boy. Now KBS starts complaining like a spoilt kid. HC looks at him as if he has lost his mind. (What is he trying to do now, making her feel sorry? Appealing to her motherly instincts? He even pulls the seam of her jacket, like a kid... ) But Mommy HC isn't fazed the least by his attempts, and she's about to walk out into the rain, when suddenly, KBS drops the act, holds her back, reaches into his bag... and fishes out an umbrella! Now, that was unexpected! HC is about as surprised as I am, even more so when KBS hands her the umbrella and jogs off into the rain! HC seems to be touched that there's some nice side on KBS after all. That is, until she opens the umbrella, and it's broken. She mutters something about KBS, but when she sees him getting all soaked in the driving rain, her anger deflates a bit. But before she can muse any further on KBS, her mobile rings...

Cut to the next day, where the TL and two of his team are interviewing an old man (about Kim Sang, I guess). Lady M is there, too. TL leaves the three Stooges behind, and in the ensuing conversation (I think it's about how Kim Sang managed to escape), Lady M gets more and more nervous. I think she's afraid that her team mates find out what happened during the car chase... (but it also seems like TL kept silent about why they lost him!)

Cut to HC riding the train. She gets a text by KBS, which amuses her. She takes out the recorder (probably to replay his words to him over the phone?) but while she listens, it's not KBS voice but that of the old guy newspaper reporter. Something the reporter said and something from the conversation with KBS the previous day click together. Suddenly, HC has a flash of inspiration.

Cut to KBS, who is visiting the contact from the studio (the one chased away by HC the other day). The guy isn't pleased at all, but KBS still tries to get some information out of him. Instead, HC shows up. She's agitated and asks some questions, and KBS seems to confirm her information (I think). After some more questions, KBS finally comes to the same conclusion as HC.

Cut to the outside, HC and KBS are running to his car. They have a brief discussion (no barbs this time, they're talking business - or rather, job), and both enter the car.

Cut to the countryside, where the TL and one of his guys are asking the old man from KBS fanclub for information. They have a conversation, Kim Bum Sang's name comes up again, and whatever they talk about, it leaves the two investigators rather unsettled.

Cut to the car, KBs and HC are driving to whereever. HC's mobile rings. It's the TL, who is relaying the information he got from the old man to her.

Cut to TL, who is climbing into the team's car and off they are...

Cut back to KBS and HC. HC tells KBS to step on it, and he gladly obliges...Oi, you are not supposed to drive on the wrong lane and force other cars to evade, dude!

Cut to KBS and HC arriving at the museum. They rush in, but the door to the preservation room is locked. KBS tries to come up with a solution, but the employee from earlier (Lee Sun Young) shows up. She opens the room for her and KBS examines the letters he prepared from the old book. (And this time, he's actually wearing gloves!). Lee SY watches them, and she and KBS have some expert talk. HC either doesn't understand or her thoughts are elsewhere, because when KBS looks at her, she has that "I'm in a galaxy far far away" type of look in her eyes, staring at the table before she notices his sudden silence. There's a fleeting moment between KBS and HC, but then she snaps back to the task at hand. The door opens, and some guy with a suitcase enters, apparently a new employee? KBS and HC, having found nothing, leave (and leaving that suspicious guy and Lee SY alone? C'mon, it's so obvious!)...

Cut to ouside, KBS and HC are bickering again, but it's much less vitriol that before. HC seems to be incredibly tired, and she's not really up to her usual sharp tongue. Suddenly, KBS curator-friend shows up, and what the audience guessed turned out to be true, that other guy is a fake! We get a neat flashback of suitcase-guy, then the dynamic duo goes on the chase! They're chasing the guy, who is in the elevator, by running the emergency stairs dowstairs....

Cut to the parking level... The guy starts his engine and tries to escape, but HC steps in the path of his car and he has to break. KBS sees this. Suddenly, the guy steps on the gas and the car shoots at HC. She stands there, you can tell she's alternating between jumping and standing, but she remains standing, not willing to give in in this game of chicken. She has guts... KBS's eyes widen when he realizes that HC is going to be run over, the guy drives faster and HC figures that the guy won't break, and -
End of episode....

The episode starts off where we left KBS and HC last time, in the parking deck, with HC trying to stop the car of the Bad Guy. (NG here: The car stops fairly close to HC, but when the BG steps on the gas, he's suddenly much further away, giving time for...), KBS yells a warning, and jumps! - Taking HC with him, out of the danger zone. The car speeds away while KBS and HC crash to the ground. KBS yells at HC for pulling such a stunt, while HC still lies on the ground. (I'm not sure if she has injured herself or if she's just catching her breath, or if she's annoyed... probably all of the three.). KBS notices this and helps her sitting up, asking her in a concerned voice if she's injured. But HC doesn't react to his question, she's muttering something about "peppero" (does she mean "papers"?), and her expression now is all business. Still out iof breath, she gets up. KBS stares at her, not believing what's happening.
Cut to the scene of crime, where curious employees are held back by Museum security. Two of HC's team are at coming out of the room where the manuscript was stolen. They chew out the museum people and send them back to work. They have a concersation (probably about the case), and they are very angry/upset.
Cut to the inside of the room, where TL, Lady M and some others investigate. They team talks about the case.
Cut to somwhere else in the museum, where TL meets with the department boss. Kim Bum Sang's name is mentioned, and the museum's boss heaves a sigh. (To quote Shakespear: Something stinks in the state of Denmark...)
Cut to the outside of the museum. It's night. KBS sits at a table while his curator friend muses loudly about something. The friend asks KBS something, but KBS is in thoughts. During the rest of the conversation, KBS seems somewhat preoccupied. Suddenly one of the team shows up and calls the friend in for questioning (I guess). KBS is left behind, but he suddenly has an idea (or maybe he remembered something?), because he hurriedly grabs his jacket and gets up.
Cut to the team's office, where the department boss lectures HC. HC apologizes, but her boss rants on, asking questions. HC doesn't look happy. The boss leaves, patting HC's shoulder and saying something in an encouraging tone (I guess it's something along the line "be more careful from now on"). When he's gone, HC takes a moment to collect herself, heaves a sigh and turns around - and is startled by KBS who has been standing out of sight but basically right around the corner! No idea how much he overlistened.... but he seems to ask her what's going on. HC plays things down (I think), and instead goes back to secure ground - the job. But you can tell that she's a bit off balance. The talk between KBs and HC is cut short when her mobile rings - and it's apparent that KBS doesn't like what he overhears. When KBS is about to walk out of him, he stops hear, and KBS is getting annoyed (Seriously, dude, don't you learn at all?). The bickering starts at once, and KBS's remarks rile HC up so much that she goes "aigoo!" and almost smacks him... he follows her hand move with wide eyes, and HC actually shows nerves, resorting to shouting... (her nerves probably have vaporized by now, KBS is really tempting his fate, she's about to explode into his face any moment!). A very angry HC pushes past KBS...
Cut to the museum exit, where KBS leaves the place, muttering to himself before he makes a call to one of his contacts. KBS sounds pretty angry...
Cut to the contact's office where we see the other side of the conversation. The contact denies whatever KBS brought up, but KBS hangs up on the man. The contact is turning his attention to the customer at hand.... who is no other than our all favorite blondie Kim Sang! The two talk, and it seems that some evil plan is hatched. Kim Sang smiles a seedy smile....
Cut to the team meeting (consting out of two of the guys and Lady M), where everyone is deep in thoughts, exchanging heavy words with solemn faces... Lady M makes a comment, but I think that the serious thinking just went down the drain, and the topic switched to something else. Tsk, tsk... Lady M gets up, her mind made up and she makes an announcement, full of determination. The guys get up, too, staring at her in disbelief, and when one of the guys questions her, Lady M bristles, gives a snippy reply and walks out of the men, who stand there for a moment, still having very doubtful expressions on their faces before they follow her. Guess they know that nothing good will come out of this!
(The team's really doing a great job by now in gluing the scenes of KBs and HC together without letting the audience being bored. They are funny on their own devices.)
Enter KBS, who has waited for this chance to sneak into the empty office. He seraches through HC's desk and finds the recorder. KBS is relieved, and tries to figure out how he can delete the recording when he's startled by a noise. He spins around to find HC, who's sleeping, her head resting on a desk amongs stacks of CDs and video tapes. Time for KBS to breath another sigh of relief... he makes a few remarks about KBS, and erases the recording before putting it back into the drawer. He's about to sneak out of the office again when he stops, apparently having another of his ingenius ideas.

Cut to the Museum's cafeteria, where KBs and HC have lunch. HC asks him something. When he answers, he's back to his prior, superior self. You can basically tell he's giggling like a naughty school boy behind his earnest face. But HC is suspicious, she seems to know that he's up to something, and her look prompts KBS hold a short speech (definitely back to his old superior tones!), but HC doesn't swallow the bait. KBS keeps poking with more questions (I think, this time about her father?)... HC is very quiet and just eats her rice, while KBS continues to talk when she doesn't answer. When he pushes more, she finally answers, but it's not what he expects to hear, so he keeps on poking... HC is getting annoyed (she probably wishes that the guy just shuts his trap!), but KBS ignores the signs of danger... Until his last remark sends HC over the ende and she smacks down her chopsticks, turning heads of everyone else in the cafeteria! KBS looks at her, and then HC starts verbally retaliating, and within a few moments, they are in the midst of one of their arguments. KBS seems to enjoy himself, while HC is just pissed off. She slamms her hands on the table and issues a final warning (at least going by her body language), but KBS is too full of glee to stop it. At last, HC has had it and gets up, glaring at KBS... who mimicks her expression behind her back, muttering to himself (probably something about HC)...
Cut to the museom conference room, where the team (including KBS and the department boss, but minus TL) has to report to the museum's boss. The museum's boss lectures them, and everyone except for KBS of course, looks appropriately guilty. The museum's boss finishes his lecture and while everyone prepares to discuss the case, the door suddenly opens and TL enters. He dons his smart glasses and starts a neat Power Point presentation about their latest suspect - Kim Sang. Discussion about the case ensues. KBS brings up some points, earning brownie points with the team by flaunting his knowledge... Everyone is impressed except for HC.
Cut to the corridor after the meeting, where KBs and HC engage in some snipes and banter. They are joined by the department boss and the museum boss. The MB is all cheers and congratulates KBS, but what he says makes HC smile (KBS notices that and a worried expression washes over his face before me manages to cover up), and when the department boss chimes in, HC's smile turns into full fledged silent laughter for a moment, before she regains her usual calm looks. She seems to congratulate KBS (I think), and the boss persons leave them. As KBS and HC continue their walk through the corridor, HC can't contain her amusement any longer, but their conversation ends with KBS not answering to her last comment!
Cut to the Boracay establishment, where two of the team grill an emplyee for information. Apparently whatever they say doesn't leave much impression, so they resolve to more serious methods of persuasion... The guy with the scar on his stomach suddenly takes off his t-shirt! He shows off his Scar, and then even removes his belt! Ohhhhh boy! *snickers*
Cut to part two of the team, where the two guys help some shop keeper lady to move cantaloupes... but when they grill her, the lady breaks down into tears and causes an upheaval... time for damage control as the two guys try to sooth her!
Cut to TL and Lady M, who check the inventory of a trader (I think that's painting materials in that room). But while TL is busy going through lists with the trader, Lady M entertains herself by taking photos of herself with the camera of her mobile, posing in front of a movable screen... which she promptly pushes over. The trader's pissed and yells at Lady M... apparently the screen has valuable paper hung over it. Lady M tries to smile and look like she's not there at all, while the TL rolls his eyes and rubs the back of his head. (I feel so sorry for the poor guy!)
Cut to the room where Lee SY rules. She's getting interviewed by HC and KBS... KBS acts like he usually does and starts flirting with Lee SY. HC cuts the flirt short with some sweet words (I think she's hinting at Lee SY that here's something going on between KBS and herself?) In any case, KBS is miffed.
Cut to ouside of the restauration room, where KBS asks HC if, perhaps, she likes him (I guess he interpreted her eaction as jealousy). HC laughs at that, but KBS is fairly certain of his findings. HC does the only right thing, she agrees, and not only that, she starts hitting on KBS! He's startled and makes a step back. Obviously, that isn't the reaction he had expected. (Cheers for HC!!)

Cont...
HC grabs his face between her palms, as if she's about to force him into a kiss. (Love that expression of horror on KBS's face!) But instead of a kiss, she just shakes his head a bit (probably to help him reorganize his thoughs) and gives him her two cent about the situation before she turns and walks out on him. KBS hurls some comments after her, but her answer (love HC's expression in that scene) doesn't anything to make him look happier... so he just follows her. (And I really want to know what the dialogue of that scene is! Translation, anyone? Pretty please with sugar on top?)
Cut to the house of a guy that HC interviews (probably about the case), while KBS sits next to her, taking in the situation and making a quick visual check of the inventory. HC asks about a painting, but the guy's answer puzzles KBS. The dynamic duo leaves the guy.
Cut to the outside of the house. KBS and HC talk about the interview, and HC things it's a dead lead. KBS asks her if she found something strange (at least I think that's what he says), and talks about that painting. After calling her names, KBs elaborates about the painting (seems that it's not what the guy claimed it was). HC listens, in full detective mode now, asking questions and getting answers from KBS. (The scenes where they work together on a professional base is the only time when you can actually sense some sort of respect between the two...) But the conversation ends with some mocking comments by KBS (my guess he'd going on about that she should've known about the painting by herself).
Cut back to the office, where our luckless cantaloupe-movers moan over their war injuries (yes, carring fruits is hard work, guys!), when Lady M walks in, muttering to herself (probably about her stupidity). Duo Cantaloupe wonders why she's here. Instead of admitting her destructive ways, she starts talking about Kim Bum Sang & HC... More gossip ensues when Duo Cantaloupe offers their own thoughts... Lady M continues to dig her own grave...
Cut to TL, who's standing outside the guy's house with backup. They secure evidence. TL talks to HC and KBS. The TL sends HC and KBS off to gether more information (I think), and HC is not very happy about having to spend more time with KBS. But being a good cop, she obeys her TL's orders and leaves the scene with KBS in tow. TL talks to Duo Striptease (Thank heavens, the guy put the t-shirt back on!), and HC stops he walk, looking back at TL with a longing expression (unsure if she's longing for TL, or if she'd like to stay at the scene of crime, or both). The look doesn't go unnoticed by KBS... but the focus is on TL now, who rings the guy's door bell and asks to be let in.
Cut to KBS and HC driving in KBS' car. HC stares out of the window, while KBS tries to engage in conversation (it sounds more like he's poking her, though). HC answers... I think they're talking about the case now because Kim sang's name is mentioned a few times. HC's looking amused, but her smile falls when KBS makes an observation. She looks like she's fighting tears, but she's keeping it up. KBS is too engrossed in talking to notice (or if he noticed, he doesn't show it) the sudden change in HC (even her voice sounds more fragile), so he drives and continues to talk to himself...
Cut to the guy's house. A hot pot is steaming on the oven, and the guy greets TL and Duo Striptease. What he says doesn't make the three guys happy at all.
Cut to outside of the house. The three decide to cut their losses and return to the office... but as they walk away, they are watched by the guy.
Cut to inside of the house. The guy sneaks into the room with the painting and removes it from the wall... turns out it hid the entrance to a secret passageway! We follow the guy down to a laboratory, where we meet... surprise! our favorite Blondie and his three henchmen. The guy and Blondie have a serious talk.
Cut to KBs and HC in the car. KBS is stepping on the brakes and comes to a stop with squealing tires. HC is on her mobile, talking to someone. KBS wants answers, but HC signals him to shut up. After HC finishes her phone talk, she and KBs have a conversation. KBS is clearly angry, while HC seems to treat him like an idiot. KBS steps on the gas, more tire squealing... yep, the guy's clearly miffed!
Cut to a street where the discussion between KBS and HC continues. While KBs walks on, HC suddenly sees Blondie and gang walking through a nearby street, and decides to follow him - unnoticed by KBS, who's still muttering angrily to himself... that is, until he wonders about the lack of response, turns around and finds her gone!

Cut to Kim Sang and his henchmen. HC is in persuit, but Blondie isn't stupid and figures out he's being followed. HC runs straight into his trap. No points for HC this time...
Cut to the office, where TL and Lady M are talking. It seems that Lady M makes some comments about TL and HC.... TL doesn't like it, but Lady M continues. (I think she wants to get HC and TL together so that she can hit on KBS... but that's just ar ally wild guess!) Whatever she says, in the end, she gives him an encouraging slap on the shoulder, says "Fighting" and leaves TL, who stands there stiffly, before turning around and looking after Lady M with an expression of "Okay, I don't believe what just happened here, she didn't seriously say that, did she?"... Hilarious! He's ripped out of his puzzlement by the department boss, who wants to know what's going on. TL explains, and the two talk, when TL's mobile rings. It's something about Kim Sang.
Cut to the outside of the office. It's evening, and TL and the department boss get out of their car. The walk into the office, where Kim Sang, HC and Duo Striptease are already waiting for them. Some talk ensues, and it seems like Kim sang threatens to complain about HC. Scar Guy blows a casket, which doesn't really help the situation. When Kim Sang wants to walk out, he's stopped by Tl who seemingly threatens him, but Kim Sang only laughs at them, throwing more insults at everyone as he walks out. The department boss orders HC to follow him into his office, where he yells at her. I think it's about her ruining their chances to capture Kim Sang by her actions. HC is close to tears, and apologizes, but then speaks up and states her side of things.
Cut to the corridor, where KBS runs into one of the team mates. KBS asks if HC has shown up, and the answer is yes. The team mate continues his way, and KBS lets out a long breath of relief. When he walks into the office, he overhears the continuation of the conversation from the previous scene between the department boss and HC. To prevent detection, he hides behind the door. The department boss holds a speech, and HC starts crying. Whatever the boss says, it also seems to strike a chord in KBS. The boss leaves, with KBS quickly side stepping from the door to hide from detection. He decides to leave, too, but he looks through the window into the boss' office and sees... HC crying. He leaves her to her tears and walks out. (HC's not bawling, just crying... fighting back her tears and trying to regain her composure...)
Cut to the outside of the museum, where KBS goes to his car. He seems to be thinking about what happened, but then he decides that it's none of his business (I think) and just drives off.
Cut to Bad Guy Central, where Kim Sang kills mosquitos with some electric tennis racket, while the false suitcase guy from last episode sits on the sofa and a henchman doing some phone talks. When the phone talks are done, some conversation goes on. (Sidenote: Blondie playfully uses the electric tennis racket to abuse his henchman). Kim Sang doesn't seem to be happy, so I guess we can expect more evils in the future...
Cut to the airport, where someone named Kim Heok Joung boards a plane to Tokyo (That name sounds familiar, I think KBS or HC mentioned it in one of their earlier conversations.).
Cut to the office, where TL gets the information that KHJ is leaving/has left the country. Things get suddenly very hectic!
Cut to KBS, who is sitting in his contact's shop. KBS is brooding, only half listening to what the contact says. It seems that HC's tears left a deeper impression than thought. The contact guy notices KBS distraction and wants to know if he's even listening. KBS says of course... the conversation continues, and whatever the guys says, KBS bristles and gets defensive, and finally leaves.
Cut to the office, where KBs is still musing over what his contact said. Unfortunately for him, he runs into lady M, who at once leeches on him. He tries to remain civil, but it's obvious that he doesn't really want to be there. Still, he endures it, and Lady M tells him the latest news about Kim Sang.
Cut to KBS in his office at the museum. His expression is getting darker and more worried by the moment. He looks outside the window and sees HC walking over the square. He comes to adecision and walks out of his office.
Cut to HC and the square. KBS shows up in his car and offers HC a ride. She's surprsed and it's clear she doesn't trust his sudden niceness. Before she can fasten her seatbelt, he steps on the gas, and we hear a surprised HC scream as the car speeds off.

Cut to TL's office. Enter TL, who brings coffee for himself and Chief No (department boss). They are talking about HC, it's a very serious conversation... I think they are also discussing the case. TL and Chief No seem to have a good working relationship, btw.
Cut to the prison, where a female prisoner is led into the communication room (that room where visitors can talk to prisoners). Her visitor is... TL!
Cut to KBS and HC, who are sitting in a street/staircase, slurping ice cream. It seems they are waiting for someone, and KBS is impatient, he seems to complain. HC explains something to him and he listenes with interest, before he asks a question that makes HC go "huh?"...and when he continues, she gets that "why am I even listening to that guy" type of expression she always gets when KBS talks nonsense. She continues sucking on her ice cream, when suddenly a, old woman with two kids comes walking up the stairs. The old woman sees KBs and HC and looks frightened. She asks them what they want (or who they are, I'm not sure).. HC gets up and KBS looks at her.
Cut to a small house with a yard. KBS is sitting on the porch, watching the two girls play "fishing". He smiles (one of the rare genuine smiles that KBS has so far managed!), but his expression changes when he hears the noise of the grandma crying. The camera shifts over to HC, who is talking to the grandmother. It's about the father of the kids... the grandmother seems to say that she hasn't seen her son (I think, or is he her SIL?), but the younger of the kids interrupts the play and says that it's not true, calling for dad who's in hiding to come out while the older kid tries to clamp her sibling's mouth. But it's to late!
Cut to a door bolting open and the dad storming out. He runs past HC and the grandma, HC calls out for KBS, who stretches out his leg when the guy runs past him, and consequently the guy stumbles over KBS's leg and falls flat on his face. (Uh.. yeah. Stupid, but effective, I guess. *chuckles*) KBS jumps up and bends the guy's arm to his back (where did he learn to do that?), and HC joins him, when the two girls call for their father. KBs and HC both have that "I'm feeling guilty now for arresting him" expression. Dad is mortified at being caught in front of his kids, and having to listen to them calling him.
Cut to HC leading the arrested guy along a walking way (I guess they go back to KBS's car). She's talking to Chief No on the mobile, reporting her arrest. KBS follows in a bit of a distance, trailing very slowly after them. He has stuffed his hands into his pockets and looks as if he's carrying the weight of the world. After HC hangs up, the dad asks her something, I guess he wants her to let him go. But HC apologizes to him and says she can't do that, and that they should keep on walking. Her expression is very serious, she sympathises, but she's doing her job. Just then, the kids come running after them, calling for their father. The grandma is running after themm telling them to stop. The kids run past KBS, whose expression scrounges even more. (Finally something that's tugging on his heartstrings! Oh the drama!) The older kid pleads with HC to let her father go, the father tries to make her shut up, but she keeps on crying and begging. HC's expression is a mixture of pity and dismay, her eyes say everything in her solmn face.
Cut to flashback, where Chief No listens to a young HC crying her heart out and begging for him to release her father, who's being led away by two officers. End Flashback... but the voice of HC's crying blends into the vice of the oldest daughter crying. (Very nicely done, it emphasises just how much HC can feel for the little girl!)
Cut back to the present, where the father kneels down to sooth his daughter. HC looks down at the two, unsure if she should break them up or if she should wait... a few steps away, KBS is seemingly having difficulties to bounce off this experience. (Methinks, he has a weak spot for kids...) While dad and daughter talk, HC's mobile starts rining. She's hesitating to pick up, looking between phone and dad a few times. Finally, she turns around, takes a deep breath and is about to pick up, when suddenly KBS walks over to her and gabs her arm, stopping her! While the phone keeps ringing, he talks to her, probably asking her to let the guy go. He's very serious, you can tell that this has shaken him up. HC replies as seriously that she can't do this. In the background, the smaller kid keeps calling for her dad. HC turns away from KBS and answers the phone. KBS stares at her with a mixture of anger and disbelief at her "cold heart". He doesn't see the tears that are brimming in HC's eyes as she tells the Chief where to pick them up.
Cut to a police car, where team mate Tummy Scar guy supervises how two cops put dad into the police car. After the car leaves, Tummy Scar guy walks back to HC, who thanks him for his help. KBS is standing some distance away, half-way between HC and his own car. He has still stuffed his hands into his pockets. Tummy Scar guy says good bye to KBS, and KBS slightly bows to indicate a good bye, too. He doesn't say a word, though. Tummy Scar guy climbs into his car and drives off, leaving HC and KBS behind. HC thanks KBS for his good work (I think), and as she walks past him to get into his car, he finally speaks up, yelling at HC. He's very upset. HC listens to his rant, but finally she replies, talking about the father, before she makes a step towards the car again. This time, KBS grabs her arm, and he continues to tell her off. He's agitated and seriously angry now. (This goes much deeper than the type of anger he has shown so far!) I think he's telling her that she's not a human being for what she did. KBS stomps back to his car and drives off, leaving HC behind. HC, who's on the edge but kept her calm so far, starts crying.
Cut to HC's place. Her brother and TL sit at the table and have a guy-to-guy talk. I think that the topic is HC... The brother is about to make a call, when HC arrives.
Cut to the brother's room, who apparentlyhas been sent ther while HC and tL talk business. Little bro is frustrated and mutters to himself, then throws himself on the bed... hitting his head in the process. (Probably served him right for whatever things he was mumbling to himself!)
Cut back to TL and HC sitting at the table and talk. HC is still troubled by arresting the father, and TL listens to her talking (about the past?). HC is fighting tears again. TL says it's okay (or something like that). The door opens and little bro pokes his head into the living room, saying something (probably about what they are still doing there?). TL says he'll leave, and brother returns to his room. TL hands HC and envelope containing tickets to the charity event.

Cut to Chief Noh's office, where HC wants to get Chief Noh's permission to get back on the case. Chief No doesn't give her permission, but she's calling him "Ahjussi", and probably reminds him about something of the past... whatever she says, it makes Chief No agree to her plan.
Cut to outside of the museum, where HC talks to KBS (to help her with her plan, I assume). But KBS is still angry and walks out on her. KBS grabs him by the arm (and shakes his arm, as if she was a little girl... now, where have I seen that type of scene before? Oh yes, last episode, and there was an umbrella involved...). But KBS isn't moved by her Lady M-impersonation (I think he's rather disgusted by it), and even when she's returning to her normal self and asks him seriously, he just shrugs her off. (On a side note, this is a very interesting turn of events, as far as KBS is concerned. He's really cold towards her, actively rejecting her, as if she has stopped being a human being. It's completely different from his earlier behaviour, because even at the time of their worst bickering and scheming, there always was a friendly undercurrent... which is completely gone now.) HC can just watch him walk off....
Cut to the office, where TL, Lady M and two of the team are going on with their daily business. Enter HC, who reports to TL that KBS won't be available. They make other plans.
Cut to the hotel, where the team does all kind of stuff in preperations for getting surveilance and all. They manage to complete the prepareations without collapsing the building, though. (Remind me not to let those guys come anywhere near my computer... Backgroundmusic is the great end title.)
Cut to the office, where Lady M hands HC some bags, mentioning something about "Haute Couture"... it's a dress she borrows to HC for the event. Lady M keeps talking, and I think she's asking about if KBS will come as well. Flashback to KBS saying he won't come. End of Flashback. HC tells Lady M that KBS has other plans (I guess). More conversation ensues, and i think HC asks about TL. Lady M answers something, and then looks on her watch and escapes from the room to get to her appointment. HC checks the contains of the bags and starts changing... but when she notices that the shutters are still open and everyone can see her, she quickly puts on her jacket again and closes the shutters before she continues!
Cut to a suburb street in the night. KBs drives along and stops at some place.... it's the neigbourhood where the dad and his girls live. Next to him, he has a cakebox. He's talking to himself again, before he decides to get out, taking the cake with him.
Cut to the yard, where he hands the cake to the girl. The girl is happy to see him, and tells him that HC came before, too. KBS is surprised, and even more so when the girl tells him what HC has told her (about HC's father being arrested and all). It dawns on KBs that he might've made a mistake. Flashback to the talk between KBS and HC right after the arrest. Flashback to something that KBS contact said. Flashback to HC standing up from the table (from episode 3). Flashback to an earlier conversation between HC and KBS in his car (from episide 3). Back to the present, where KBS eyes glisten unusually when he connects the dots and he realized that he was WRONG.
Cut to the hotel, where KBS' curator friend and TL are waiting. TL and the friend talk (about KBS). A cab arrives and out gets HC, dressed in a black, tight dress! TL and KBs friend are both impressed. I think that this is the first time TL actually consciously realizes that HC is a very attractive lady... at least if you go by the expression on his face. KBS's friend seems ready to dig his claws into soft flesh... HC says good evening, very feminine, and she and the curator guy leave for the hotel. The camera stays with TL, who is still seems somewhat confused by what he saw... and while he stares after HC, Lady M shows up, looking very proud of her "creation". She tells a distracted TL about "Haute Couture"...
Cut to HC and the curator walking towards the hotel. Curator guy can't take his eyes off her. They talk, and it seems that the curator isn't up to standard. HC turns to leave, but the curator guy doesn't want to let her go, grabbing her arm. There's a bit of a struggle, and HC is trying to avoid a scene, when suddenly KBs shows up, grabbing his friend's wrist and telling him sweetly to let go. The friend isn't pleased, and there's one of these "friendly but dangerous" monologues, ending with KBS flaunting off his knowledge... KBS and HC walk off, leaving the curator guy behind, who has a thoughtful/annoyed expression on his face.
Cut to the entrance of the hotel, KBS and HC talk briefly, and HC hands KBs the tickets for the event. KBS looks up and down her and makes a remark (about her dress) that has HC bristling with annoyance. (Again, KBS' tone of voice and attitude towards HC has completely changed. He's back to the prior treatment, no longer coldly rejecting her but resuming the teasing and bickering.)
Cut to a car arriving. The doors open and out comes Kim Sang and his henchmen!
Cut to HC and KBS cuing in for entrance, and KBS offers HC his arm... (I guess he says that they have to look like a couple?) HC pulls a face, but links her arm to KBS nevertheless. The line moves, and behind them, Kim Sang and his henchmen arrive! (This, of course, will mean that our Dynamic Duo is in deep trouble next week!)
