Finally, there is a scene where Si-ohn picks up a mirror in the storage room, ominous music plays, and a mysterious figure flits around in the shadows. In the last scene, the mysterious figure flits around again, the camera cuts to a closeup of the mirror--and the show ends.

** Gun-woo's jovial, fatherly mentor, Moon-shik, is revealed to be in league with the smugglers. He is also the person who shot and killed Si-ohn's boyfriend Hyung-joon, although he didn't mean to. After Hyung-joon was cornered by the smugglers, Moon-shik shot him square in the chest, thinking he was still wearing his bulletproof vest for the stakeout. But Si-ohn had arrived at the stakeout earlier, and had Hyung-joon take off his vest to try on a new shirt she bought him.
