A Secret Fund Buried in the Grave of a Dead Mother
Near the luxurious apartment complex in Haeundae, Busan, Iseon asked her son, Jun, to go into a suitcase and put on a mask. Everyday, she practiced running away from her husband. She found some circumstantial evidence showing that her husband, the future director of Hanseong Hospital, intentionally killed her mother during a surgery. Iseon also happened to know that a secret fund of 10 billion won was buried in her mother's grave.
A Message from the Savior
Iseon made up her mind to leave Korea with her son and the hidden money. However, strangers secretly chased Iseon and took her child from her. She appealed to the police for help, arguing that her husband had hired them to kidnap the child. Jinmok, the detective in charge of her case, thought that she was out of her mind. She barely managed to find her son, and there was a dead body near him. Iseon's hair and fingerprints were on the dead body. All the circumstantial evidence fueled speculation that Iseon had killed the person for money. But Iseon, in a tight corner, got a text message from a savior.
The 10 Billion Won Bait
Following the directions in the message, she encountered a group of strangers. It was a group of people who had experienced malpractice at Hanseong Hospital and had now gathered to steal the hidden secret fund. Iseon grabbed a chance to drive a wedge between them, but accidentally caused them to die. What she did was irreversible and she tried to escape to protect Jun. She used the secret fund as a bait.
Jinmok, who supported her escape, pointed a gun at her, asking where the money was. After a hard fight, Iseon managed to escape the situation.
The Child Found in the Grave
Her son was found in the grave of her mother, in which the secret fund of 10 billion won was hidden. He was suffering from a high fever. Iseon went to the house of her father-in-law and begged him to save Jun. As her father-in-law had already retrieved the money, he refused to help her. Now that she could not save the money and her son, Iseon attempted to set fire to his house to ruin everybody's lives.
