To begin their investigation, So hee and Dong gi question a fruit vendor around the tunnel and she tells them there used to be an unidentified cemetery close to the tunnel but a big company wanted to build an apartment there so when no one claimed the graves, they dismantled everything and built a building on top of it. So hee asks if she has ever encountered anyone wearing white mourning clothes but the fruit vendor asks them to check the shamans who are quite plenty in the area.
Meanwhile, Yeon ho and Hyun kyung question the drunk driver from before and confirm that his car turned by itself when it was under the tunnel. This leads both to investigate the road. They realise that several cars seem to involuntary turn during the corner of the tunnel. Just then, So hee calls Hyun kyung telling them to come to the shaman house.
The female shaman checks out the video surveillance confirming it’s a ghost but Yeon ho doesn’t believe it and stands to leave. The shaman tries to stop him but he makes an excuse and leaves regardless. Hyung kyung who is also creeped out follows him. Meanwhile, So hee and Dong gi remain behind and the shaman advices them to stay away from Yeon ho or they would be hit by thunder. She gives them a talisman (of course they would pay for it)
After conducting investigations on the road, Yeon ho explains to the rest that the constructions by the company who made the apartment complex was faulty and resulted in the road getting slippery whenever it rains. They realise that no one reported on it because of the ‘ghost’
Without telling the rest of the team, So hee waits in her car at night near the tunnel to see if she can spot the ghost but she gets the scare of her life when Yeon ho appears with a torch to his face. He too has also come to investigate.
He points out that her car is very old and she replies it was her father’s first taxi cab which he left for her. She then tells him that the team’s relationship with Chief Gu isn’t good and asks if he went ahead to lay a complaint against Chief Gu’s parking space. Yeon ho responds he has even sent it to the civil union. So hee sighs knowing she cannot change Yeon ho’s mind.
She falls asleep and after a while, Yeon ho wakes her to tell her it’s getting late and that she should start heading home but as they are about leaving, they suddenly see the white clothed woman but upon looking closer, they realise he is actually a man. As soon as he notices them, he panics and takes off. They chase after him but Yeon ho lags behind and is quite frightened when he has to seperate from So hee. But she catches up with him and the two spot the man urinating in front of some bushes but when he catches sight of them, he takes off again and they pursue him to a house in the forest with an old sign called Namgang nursing home.
They trace the nursing home and asks a staff about a woman dressed in mourning clothes. The staff reluctantly tells her about Kang okgeum, an old woman who always wore mourning clothes and always went missing from the home after her husband. But to So hee and Yeon ho’s surprise, she was already dead.
The two head to the police station to continue their investigation and Yeon ho discovers the first accident victim mistaken for a ghost was Kang okgeum which means that the white clothed woman was fake. Yeon ho shows So hee the first car victim and it turns out to be the tow driver Choi bumgyu who had wanted to tow their car after their accident at the tunnel but stopped when he discovered they were police officers. This heightens their suspicions.

They share their findings with the other members and discover that Choi bumgyu took over the tow truck business in the area by threatening and beating up the other drivers but for some reason, no one has laid a complaint against him. Captain Jung tells them to look into the victims and everyone sets off.
To please Yeon ho and get in his father’s good graces, Chief Gu gets rid of the parking space which impresses Team TCI but during a meeting, he discovers that Chairman Cha isn’t even Yeon ho’s father and that he had mistaken his real son Chae Hyeon ho for him due to their name similarity. Due to this, Chief Gu is left feeling humiliated.
So hee and Yeon ho question one of the victims who used to be a tow driver. According to him, Choi bumgyu’s men offered to give him a new car while they repaired his old one but after using the car, they claimed he had caused a fault in the vehicle and charged him an humongous amount of money for it. The man wants nothing to do with them and prefers to keep quiet on it. This leaves the team in a delicate situation since no one wants to lay charges.
The team have done their investigation and discover that Choi bumgyu and the ower of New vision repair company Lee seunghak both work under shin jungeuk, owner of mammoth car rental to cause accidents and make people pay for towing repair, and get new cars through them.
Since no one wants to come forward to lay charges against the three, So hee suggests they become the victims. She buys a used car from Jo soktae that is as slow as a snail. Yeon ho is afraid she would have an accident because of the car’s horrible condition but So hee adds that they have no choice.
They meet with Dong gi and Hyun kyung who are both apalled by the state of the car. However, now that they have a vehiy, there have been no rain for days which means the ground under the tunnel won’t be slippery enough to cause an accident so Dong gi, Hyun kyung and So hee huddle together and pray but Yeon ho interrupts them asking if they believe their prayer. So hee responds that if one wishes enough, their wish would come true.
However, Yeon ho doesn’t buy that and suddenly recalls that there were days where the ground was slippery even when it didn’t rain and that’s because of a sprinkler truck that often passes under the tunnel. Without telling them where he’s off to, Yeon ho traces the address of the sprinkler truck and asks the driver if there was anything he noticed under the tunnel. The man replies that each time he drove past, he saw a rented truck which is very rare. He even shows him a video of it. As they are talking, rain suddenly starts falling, shocking Yeon ho as he remembers So hee’s words about wishes. He smiles and the driver asks if he brought an umbrella but Yeon ho replies that he didn’t expect it to rain. The driver is confused over why he’s smiling. He tells him he would get soaked and runs away but Yeon ho doesn’t seem to mind.
So hee disguises herself as a nerdy woman and has an accident at that tunnel. As predicted, Choi bumgyu arrives and tows her car. He then brings her to Lee seunghak’s repair shop. She shocks everyone when she says she wants her car scrapped, not destroyed so she can buy a new one. Knowing he would make no money from it, Lee Seunghak goes to meet Shin jungeuk and tells him to share the profits he would get from selling a car but of course, Lee Seunghak refuses even going as far to threaten him with a knife.

They soon disperse but Shin jungeuk catches Yeon ho snooping around and gets suspicious until So hee enters claiming Yeon ho is her husband. They purchase a new car from Shin jungeuk’s men and leave together.
They stop at the police station and Yeon ho tells So hee about the sprinkler truck. So hee also tells him about how she noticed a burnt scar on the hands of the men. Yeon ho remembers the Carbon monoxide he had discovered while snooping around. He figures out that it’s from spraying it on the ground after the sprinkler truck leaves so the ground would remain wet. It’s what causes the plants around the tunnel to wither.
The team waste no more time. So hee catches the man pretending to be the ghost before barging into the scammers hideout. After she, Hyung kyung and captain Jung beat them up, they are arrested and taken away. Captain Jung asks So hee if she has finally accepted Yeon ho as part of the team. So hee indirectly admits it by saying his brain came in handy.
That night, So hee’s father picks her up from the station in his taxi like he always does. So hee sees Yeon ho and offers to drop him off since he didn’t bring his bicycle. She introduces Yeon ho to her father and he tells Yeon ho to take care of So hee.
As soon as they start driving, So hee immediately falls asleep and her father chats with Yeon ho. He tells him how his taxi became a home for So hee ever since his wife died. Unable to leave her on her own, he took her everywhere with him. Yeon ho doesn’t talk much and So hee’s father points it out, adding that he prefers to be alone and lacks social interaction. Yeon ho is surprised he knows that about him and he responds that So hee told him. Her father encourages him to come with So hee to eat a meal in their home whenever he feels empty. He might not look it but he’s a good cook.
He finally drops Yeon ho at his apartment and drives off. Yeon ho checks his mail but sees an envelope. When he brings it out, it’s a news report about a couple that was found dead on the side of the road. This reminds Yeon ho of the late Lee Hyunsoo’s accident where he ran into her with his car.
The epilogue shows Captain Jung speaking with Yeon ho. He tells him that he shouldn’t let his past be a hindrance to the team before he walks off.
