ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS, AND GROUPS ARE FICTITIOUS
CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED IN SAFE CONDITIONS
[Han-na] Here's how my day begins.
Health, beauty,
and Bellissimo.
Bellissimo. Because mornings matter.
Athletes, to the line.
WOMEN'S 50 M RIFLE 3 POSITIONS FINAL - JI HAN-NA COMPETING
[commentator 1] We're live at the Women's 50-meter Rifle Three Positions Final.
[commentator 2] Yes.
[announcer] …as they make their way to the final point.
[commentator 1] Now entering the range, Ji Han-na of Team Korea.
[commentator 2] She's already claimed gold in the 10-meter Air Rifle.
If she also takes the gold here, in the 50-meter Rifle Three Positions,
she'll become a double champion at three straight games.
-Wow, that's such an incredible record. -That's right.
Can she break the world record in this final?
I'm really looking forward to it.
[moderator] Five minutes of preparation and sighting time.
According to one economic analysis,
a single shot from Ji Han-na is valued at a whopping billion won.
-Wow, really? -She's a real million dollar baby.
-It's truly astonishing. -Yes. She's expected to take gold
-without much trouble. -Right.
Now, the world record is right within her reach.
[gunshot]
[commentator 1] Okay, that's good. She's doing great.
[commentator 2] Yes, that was an excellent shot.
[moderator] For the next competition shot. Load.
Start.
[commentator 1] Ji Han-na of Korea, she can do this.
This is her last shot.
Five,
four,
three…
[gunshot]
-[gunshot] -[bird wings fluttering]
[tense music playing]
You're the guy.
-Who are you? -I think you know.
I'm a cop, I told you.
Yoon Dong-ju,
Insung Metropolitan Police Agency.
Yoon Dong-ju, Insung Metropolitan Police.
You don't remember, do you?
I remember you very clearly.
Better than you'd like.
You're the bastard from the hit-and-run.
I think you're mistaken about that.
-I don't remember meeting you, detective. -Hmm.
[scoffs] You don't remember?
[scoffs]
MIN JU-YEONG INSUNG CUSTOMS
Hey.
CUSTOMS OFFICER MIN JU-YEONG
How about now, huh?
Huh? Does this jog your memory at all?
Look at it. Come on!
[officer] Man, I can't believe this guy.
Hey, what are you doing here?
-Get off me! Jesus. -Oh, for God's sake.
Hey, you'd better remember who I am now.
-You hear me you bastard? -Just keep walking.
You'd better remember. Get your hands off me!
-Be quiet. Just get out of here. -Hey! You'd better remember me, huh!
Remember me, you bastard!
[Ju-yeong] He sure has a way of leaving a mark.
[Gyeong-cheol] Thanks.
The commissioner, what'd he say?
What happens now?
Can't shut your team down overnight after all that talk.
But he doesn't want you doing any more PR.
You might stir up trouble again.
It's giving him a headache.
[gasps] Ji Han-na?
No decision yet.
Well, if she wants to quit that's her call.
-Could you just… -[phone buzzes]
Hold off on her resignation for now.
I'll talk to her today.
SEOBU STATION SECTION CHIEF KANG
Hey, Kang. What's up?
Yoon Dong-ju?
[Dong-ju] Hey.
Huh? Does this jog your memory at all?
-Look at it. Come on! -Hey!
-You can't do this here. -Get off me! Jesus.
[Dong-ju] Get your hands off me!
[Man-sik] For crying out loud.
Pulling your pants down in public like that…
-Hey! -Do you enjoy being watched?
You damn pervert!
[groaning] Come on, knock it off. That's not the point here!
I told you, okay. That's him right there.
Look, this is the proof!
-I don't wanna see that anymore! -Ow.
You call that proof? How is that proof?
What? Is forensics gonna dust your ass for prints now?
Oh, right! Forensics.
We'll show them the pictures.
No need. I'll just rip your ass off and take it myself.
What do you think, Jae-hong?
[inhales sharply] I don't know.
-He's just a customs officer. -[scoffs]
-Yeah, bingo. -What's bingo?
I mean, he's a Grade 7 public official.
And he's connected to a murder, a gang boss, and Korean-Chinese hit men?
-Doesn't that strike you as odd, huh? -[scoffs] Uh, you're the odd one, okay?
You're just trying to tie everything back to him. There's no evidence.
That's exactly why we need to investigate! [grunts]
Seriously, let's send some pictures to forensics.
Jae-hong, snap some shots.
We've got to do it now before the evidence disappears.
Get a few photos first and then a video, okay?
Can you see it? Can you see the three lines?
-Or was it two? -I don't really see it.
Come on, look closer. It's up here.
Hey. That's gross.
-Do it somewhere else. -What's gross?
[Jong-hyeon clears throat]
-Oh. Guys, guys. -[camera shutter clicking]
Sergeant Kim, what's going on? Why are you here?
Are you feeling any better? How's the wound?
-I was worried. -Come on, he's totally fine.
[whispers] Shut it.
Ow! Well, the doctor said everything looks fine,
but I'm still pretty banged up.
Still, I'm glad you weren't hurt. [laughs]
Oh, no. Don't take it the wrong way.
I'm not trying to guilt-trip you.
Though, I did save your life, didn't I?
-I appreciate it. It means a lot to me. -Nah. Enough of that.
-Just… -Oh.
Wow. Look at that, huh?
Doesn't he look right at home?
Feels like our team is finally whole, with everyone in place.
Listen, Sergeant Kim. Consider this your chance to pay me back
and join the team. What do you say?
Uh, sir, I… [grunts]
Hey. So, how about a welcome dinner?
We're already having one. [chuckles]
-It's perfect timing. -Sir, I… [grunts]
Sergeant Kim, what do you like?
-Is it beef? -Not gonna happen.
-You just eat whatever you're served. -I said no.
Since when did we agree to let him on the team?
Look, you might be the captain,
but you don't get to make this kind of decision alone.
You need to talk to the whole team first. We all get a vote.
And I'm saying hard pass.
Jae-hong, you're with me on this?
No, I'm okay with it.
What?
Is that so?
Han-na'll be on my side. That's two against one.
How do you know she'll be on your side?
Of course I know. Are you kidding?
Anyway, he already said he didn't want to join us.
Don't be so clingy. It's embarrassing.
What if I do wanna join?
What? Really?
You do whatever you want. [chuckles]
What makes him think he can?
He's Sergeant Kim.
[sighs] Come on, he's only gonna slow us down.
He waves that toy sword around like it makes him dangerous,
but when steel's involved, he folds.
[sighs]
Okay.
You wanna find out?
See if I'm just a joke?
-Sure. Where you wanna go? -Right here.
-When? -Now.
Whoa.
That kind of punch ain't gonna cut it.
My peripheral's 180 degrees.
I can see it coming from miles away.
[officers clamoring]
TRAINING ROOM
-Hey! -[officer] What's going on?
[sighs] Okay.
-So, you wanna go for real? -Okay, fair enough.
I was in a shitty mood anyway.
Might as well hurt you for real.
If you win, do whatever you want. Join the team or don't.
I'll decide later.
But if I win, you'll watch your tone with me.
Yeah, only if you win.
[Man-sik] All right, folks. This is a match you don't see every day!
Dung-ju versus Jong-hyeon.
So, who's gonna win?
The winnings go to the team dinner, no matter which department you're from!
Bets on! Let's go!
I'll go first. Here, I'm betting on Jong-hyeon.
He took down those gangsters with just a scratch. Five to one!
-That's why, Kim Jong-hyeon! -[officer] Come on.
Like Officer Yoon said,
if there's no sword involved, the boxer's got this, no doubt.
He's the Asian champion.
-Badass gold medalist. -Although,
-five to freaking one? -[clamoring]
-I mean, come on! -[clamoring]
I-I'm betting on Jong-hyeon too.
-Yeah! -He's crazy.
What about you, Captain Go? Kim Jong-hyeon or Yoon Dong-ju?
[sighs] Me?
There's no need to think twice.
I'm on his side.
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
Aw, does it hurt?
I didn't even do anything.
-I'm fine. -About to not be fine, bro.
[grunts]
Look at you.
Look who knows how to move.
[grunts]
[high-pitched ringing]
-[grunts] -[Man-sik] Sergeant Kim Jong-hyeon.
He was an alternate on the national tae kwon do team in high school.
[scatting]
Dong-ju, are you okay?
What? Oh!
-What? -Oh! What?
[officers clamoring]
Dong-ju, seriously? Already?
[officers clamoring]
[breathes heavily]
[grunting]
[sighs] That was so cheap, man.
If he learned tae kwon do, he should've said so.
What a freaking scumbag.
You promised me beef, not freaking tripe.
This-- This is expensive stuff, man!
Cool.
Mmm, it's good.
Hey.
Skip the guts. Go for the heart, come on.
Look. Just look at this. Soft and jiggly, like overcooked noodles.
Let me guess.
You threw a bunch of punches, all soft as compliments.
-Mm-hmm. -Hmm.
Anyway,
are you still having trouble
'cause of that fight back then?
[spectators clamoring]
[breathing heavily, grunting]
[grunting, breathing heavily]
[grunts]
INSUNG CITY YUN DONG-JU
[breathing heavily]
A straight right to the face. [grunts]
That's your move, isn't it?
Could've knocked him out cold.
Why didn't you?
Come on. Just one solid shot, and it would've been game over.
Look, I'm good too… [groans] …Ow.
Hmm.
What are you talking about?
Just have some tripe, it'll toughen you up.
Say "Ah."
Hey, you want me to teach you a secret technique
to beat Sergeant Kim?
[Man-sik] Take it back. Don't rush into anything.
The higher-ups are willing to give you some time, so just think of it as a break.
Take your time before making your decision.
No, I've already signed my resignation.
Thanks for looking out for me though.
[sighs]
Oh, Officer Ji!
-Did you speak with Captain Go? -Yes.
Sounds like you're moving on.
-Yeah. -That's a shame. Team dinner?
I don't think it's a good idea for me to go.
-Oh. -What about you?
Oh, I've got to get home. My second kid's got a fever.
Well, I guess it's just Captain Go and Dung-ju over there.
Listen, if you're not busy,
maybe you could swing by and cheer him up?
Uh…
Dung-ju has so much pride, you know that?
It probably stung, letting someone he likes see him like that.
He's a pretty simple guy,
so just seeing you would lift his spirits.
Oh. There's no pressure, all right?
If you've got a memorial or your parents are sick,
obviously don't go.
I'm just saying, if there's nothing special going on, you could stop by.
Dung-ju would be thrilled to see you.
Uh, Dung-ju would love that.
[chuckles] Oh, he'd be over the moon.
Uh, I really hope you're free.
[chuckles] That'd be so great.
GOPCHANG RESTAURANT THE VALLEY
-[Dong-ju grunts] -One, two, to the right! Come on, Dong-ju!
-That's not good! No! Watch the grip! -[groaning]
Don't let him get under you!
No, this is going to be his weak spot!
-Keep your stance! Come on! -What kind of secret technique is this?
[Man-sik grunting] This is going to be his weak spot!
-Ow, my leg! -Got you, you little…
-[grunting] -Oh, hey.
-Oh, Han-na! -Han-na! Where are you…
Cheer him up? Yeah, right. He's full of energy.
Han-na, wait! There's food!
[Man-sik] Who are you, Popeye?
How can you keep that body just by eating veggies?
That's amazing.
-You don't drink either, right? -Mmm.
No. Want some?
[groans] No, thanks.
Well, what about you? Sure that's enough for you?
This is the best for getting in shape.
-[officer giggling] -[Jong-hyeon] Thanks.
I really appreciate it. Please dig in.
Did you get the warrant for that hit-and-run bastard?
[scoffs] Warrant, my ass.
You think you can just yank a warrant out
-like toilet paper? -Didn't file it, did you?
Yeah. I didn't think so.
If you won't, I will.
Don't do anything stupid and just sit tight. Let me handle it.
I'm a cop on taxpayer money.
I've got a job to do. I'm not gonna sit tight.
Shut your mouth. [clicks tongue]
[reporter] The suspect in the recent hit-and-run that killed a customs officer
has been identified as Lee Gyeong-il, a former rising star in boxing.
Police suspect Lee, who turned himself in,
may have been under the influence of narcotics during the incident.
I should've told you, I'm sorry.
I was just waiting until I had more concrete information.
It's fine.
What matters is that Gyeong-il didn't do it.
Don't worry too much about it.
Um… [whimpers]
I know you'll take care of it. Yeah?
I'm not worried.
[sighs] I may not have raised him that well,
but he would never kill anyone. I know that.
If he's innocent, he'll be freed.
[sighs deeply]
You-- You going to temple?
Yeah.
I've been having some bad dreams lately.
I packed you some more of that stir-fried dried squid you like.
I may not have raised him that well,
but he would never kill anyone.
[officer] The car wasn't officially imported,
and the plate's not in the system.
That makes it almost impossible to track down.
Three one…
INSUNG CITY JUNKYARD
Just borrowing this real quick.
Where you going? Dong-ju!
Dong-ju!
Excuse me.
Any chance you've seen a car like this one?
That one's pretty rare.
Good afternoon, sir.
Seen a car like this around?
I told you, there's no car like that here.
I heard you. Let me just double-check, though.
-No cars like that have come through. -Oh!
Never mind.
Okay, no.
INSUNG METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
I don't believe everything Dong-ju says, but he might be onto something.
Something about this feels off.
Do you think maybe you could look into it?
I'll handle the… the Gyeong-il investigation.
You know how-- how my team is right now.
I already put in a request with the prosecutor
for an interview with Lee.
Thought it might be relevant for an internal review.
Uh, of course.
Although…
I've heard the new prosecutor handling the case is pretty tough.
There's a new prosecutor assigned?
Mr. Lee Gyeong-il, do you stand by everything written here?
[Man-sik] Prosecutor Kim Seok-hyeon, Violent Crimes Division.
PROSECUTOR KIM SEOK-HYEON
-Hey. -Yes?
Don't waste my time. Hurry up and answer me.
I'm busy as hell.
Is everything in your statement true?
-[mumbles] Yes. -What?
[normal] Yes.
I-I'm guilty.
[Seok-hyeon] Guilty plea.
Mr. Jang. Get him outta here.
[Gi-myeong] Okay, let's go.
[breathing shakily]
[Seok-hyeon sighs]
Why'd the chief dump this useless case on my lap?
I don't have time for this.
Sir, excuse me.
Insung Police have requested an interview with Lee Gyeong-il.
-What do they want now? -It's from the Audit Office.
I'm not sure what it's about.
It's from the Audit Office? Do you know who?
Yes, his name is Sergeant Kim Jong-hyeon
from Inspections.
Who?
Who? Kim Seok-hyeon?
Yeah. Why? Do you know him?
Yeah. [sighs]
[scoffs]
Tell him to come here.
I want him to explain this to me in person.
OFFICE OF AUDITS AND INSPECTIONS
Sergeant Kim Jong-hyeon.
[sighs] Fine.
I'll come over there at three.
[knocks on door]
[phone buzzes]
-[Gi-myeong] Hello, sir. -Hey, Gwang-seok.
Hey. I'm glad you called, man. Yeah, yeah.
Next week?
Oh, I'm wide open.
Yeah, why?
Uh, sir. Sergeant Kim Jong-hyeon is here.
[scoffs] Come on.
Oh. Sounds great.
Yeah, I've always wanted to go. Just us young guys.
-Please, have a seat. -Yeah.
Thanks.
I'll call Yong-hui.
-All right, bye now. -[line disconnects]
-Sir. -[phone dials]
-Not now. -[Jong-hyeon sighs]
Yong-hui, are you busy?
Yeah, next week. Yeah.
Gwang-seok and I are super excited about it.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Cool, yeah. I'll see you next week.
We've got a lot to catch up on.
All right, bye.
[line disconnects]
[scoffs] Bowing, really?
I haven't seen you in a while.
No present? My birthday's next week.
Oh yeah? Since when do we exchange birthday presents?
Well, I just figured maybe you'd grown up a little by now.
I'll be taking Lee Gyeong-il for a bit.
It's part of an internal review, so I can't disclose the details.
[sighs]
Hmm. I'm afraid I can't allow that.
[sighs] Then why ask me here?
Just to shoot the shit.
Look, you knew I was the case prosecutor.
Did you really think I was going to let you just do that?
I, uh…
I hadn't seen you in so long. I forgot what kinda…
…kind of ass you are.
That's not how you talk to your big brother.
You know, this is why people think we're not brothers.
You're still acting like a teenager.
Having fun playing cop?
You think I'm doing this for fun?
[chuckles] All right. Don't be so serious, man.
I just thought we could have some fun. Okay?
For once, you might not run away.
What?
That's what you do best. Since we were kids,
you always run from things.
You could never beat me in school or in tae kwon do.
That's why you switched to fencing.
And you ran from that too, before even winning gold.
Stop wasting your time.
Just go learn the business from Dad at the company.
What? Too embarrassed to ask?
You want me to talk to him for you?
Hey, at least come over for dinner.
[inhales deeply]
Mr. Jang, find out what he's working on right now.
[sighs]
[Seok-hyeon] That's what you do best. Since we were kids,
you always run from things.
[father] Wow, Seok-hyeon. You got the top score in every subject,
and by a huge margin too.
-[laughs] Yeah? -[Seok-hyeon] Dad,
does that mean you'll buy me what you promised?

Are you going to tell your mom the same bullshit?
What did you tell her?
About all this?
So you are worried, huh?
Why not explain it to her? Tell her yourself what happened.
You're obviously innocent. Just tell her the truth.
And then I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make sure you get out of this.
[breathing shakily]
Gyeong-il.
I'm finished here.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Excuse me, sir. Um…
When will I be able to speak to my lawyer?
[tense music plays]
GOLDENGATE SELF-SERVICE GAS STATION
[automated voice] Insert your payment card to continue.
Lee Gyeong-il had a visitor?
Yes. But he didn't say much.
And, how's he doing?
He seems to be acting a bit anxious.
But they all are when they're locked up for the first time.
They're all like that?
Even still though,
it's better to eliminate any risks, don't you think?
[eerie music plays]
Sorry?
Mmm.
The watch looks good on you.
[grunts]
Thank you, sir.
[watch ticking]
CHEONUL JUNKYARD
Oh, shit!
You little shit!
-Ow. -Move over.
Move before I kick you out!
-You scared me. -Jesus, kid.
I specifically told you to bring the car back by this morning.
-Didn't I? -[groans]
I was just going to check a few more places. That's all.
How long have you been driving around?
I filled the tank a few days ago… [gasps]
[whimpers]
You little shit! I should just…
-[groans] Goddamn brat. -Whoa, what are you doing?
Your hand.
I need the car, I told you.
-I have to be somewhere by 10:00! -Ah.
We've still got time. Let's check it out before we leave. They open at 9:00.
-[grunts] No. -Hey, just be patient, come on.
Let me just check out this one more place. Come on.
Huh? Come on, please.
Ugh, stop! You're so annoying.
You're so busted. You went clubbing, didn't you?
9. CHEONUL JUNKYARD, 10. NAMHAE JUNKYARD,
11. JUNGBU INSUNG JUNKYARD…
[phone buzzing]
Aha!
SERGEANT KIM JONG-HYEON
Hi, Sergeant Kim. What's going on?
What?
[tense music plays]
I'M SORRY I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE
Hold it right there!
-You can't go in. -Hey! Stop! No!
Stop!
-Get off me. [grunts] -Hey, what are you doing?
-You can't go in. -No. No, he wouldn't do this.
[Seok-hyeon sighs] This is turning into a mess.
-[phone buzzing] -[Seok-hyeon] Yes, Chief.
I'll come see you in your office. Yes, sir.
[reporter] …stated that they're currently investigating the smuggling route…
Hey, do you need a hand?
No, it's okay. I don't have that much stuff.
I can see that.
[reporter] Lee Gyeong-il, a former professional boxer
who had been arrested on charges of hit-and-run,
was found dead in his prison cell after taking his own life.
He left behind a note expressing remorse.
Lee was once considered a promising boxing talent,
having won the Junior National Team trials in 2013.
I figured it'd be better coming from you.
THE LATE LEE GYEONG-IL MAY HE REST IN PEACE
If it's too much, I'll take care of it myself.
[sobs]
This…
Why is this here?
In the bag? Why is it here?
It belongs to Lee Gyeong-il.
He wasn't supposed to have something like that, but I guess he did.
This isn't his.
Look at this watch.
It's the same one that Golden Bunny and that bastard were wearing.
This belongs…
to Gyeong-il's killer.
If we send it to forensics and get it tested for DNA and fingerprints…
It's over.
What do you mean, it's over?
If we get it tested, we'll find something, right?
The prosecutor ruled it a suicide
-and closed the case. -What the hell are you saying?
You can't be serious.
Gyeong-il only died a few hours ago.
[inhales sharply]
All right. I'll look into it, so just…
Uh… Hey!
You can't do anything with that!
Yoon Dong-ju!
[determined music playing]
Hey.
[watch ticking]
You're the one who killed him.
Just what are you getting at?
-Mr. Lee Jin-su again-- -Lee Gyeong-il.
-Ring a bell? -Lee Gyeong-il?
Who's that now?
Don't play dumb.
You had him killed.
[scoffs]
This funny to you?
[groaning]
-Go help, come on! -[clamoring]
[officer] Please come upstairs and help!
-[groans] -Hey. Get up.
-[grunts] -[breathes heavily]
Get up.
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
Sir. That watch.
I am curious.
It's, uh…
It's the same watch Golden Bunny had on.
And it's not for sure,
but Dong-ju said that the guy who hit Lee Jin-su and ran
was wearing the same one too.
POLICE ID: JI HO-CHEOL
INSUNG METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
[sighs]
Mr. Min Ju-yeong stated that he and you had no prior arrangement to meet.
According to him, you came to his office to confront him about a watch.
-[officer] You believed it was connected… -Hey.
-…to the case. -What happened? Where's the other guy?
-Mr. Min Ju-yeong… -He busted up his mouth.
He had to get a few stitches.
[officer] Is that true?
Mr. Yoon Dong-ju, if you don't respond, I'll take that as a yes.
Your father's case?
[Gyeong-cheol] Why?
I just got a little curious.
Well. Thing is, I'm not sure if we still have the records.
I'm also wondering
if you've seen this before?
I think it belonged to my dad.
Uh, did he wear something like this?
It's a foreign brand, but it's not sold in Korea.
A guy who knows this stuff might be able to help.
He runs a pawnshop downtown.
Uh, his number should be here somewhere.
It's for Ji Ho-cheol.
Could I get a copy of the death certificate
for his insurance claim?
Ah, I see. Thank you anyway.
[Man-sik] Your pay's docked for three months.
No suspension. And lucky for you, he's not pressing charges.
But, start writing.
-Now. -Write what?
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT
Copy the whole book to show you're sorry.
That's what he wants to avoid pressing charges.
Screw that.
Why the hell would I?
Then, what? Wanna get sued and lose your job?
Let him sue if he wants to.
I'm not copying that stupid book!
[grunts] That little punk.
Come back here. Yoon Dong-ju!
INSUNG PAWNSHOP
[pawnshop owner] Gold plating. My mom loved this kind of stuff.
I should've been a better son.
-[phone buzzing] -Should've treated her better.
MOM
I guess there's no use regretting it now.
Hmm.
Where did you get this?
-Why? -You see,
it might look like just another watch, but it's not.
It was made by a Swiss master named Christian Jalmandra Diar Watch.
Even his name has "watch" in it.
He only makes twelve of these every year, they're incredibly rare.
I haven't seen one of these since around 2003, if memory serves.
2003?
Yeah, a few ended up in Insung back then.
There was this famous smuggler who went by the name of Oh Dollar.
Oh Dollar?
[pawnshop owner] His real name was Oh Bong-chan.
He made a fortune by dealing US dollars.
And that's how he got the nickname Oh Dollar.
Nothing was smuggled through Insung back then,
without first going through that guy.
Where, um, can I track him down?
At the cemetery.
He died about 15 years ago.
This feels a tiny bit heavier than it should be.
Is this real or…
is it fake?
What are those?
Oh, some guy way uglier than me pawned it a while back.
I've never seen anyone that ugly.
[sighs]
Dong-ju.
Yes?
[Gyeong-il's mom] You shouldn't come here anymore.
Please don't think I'm being heartless with you.
Take this back too.
I'm sorry, Ms. Jeong.
I'm so sorry, auntie.
I know it wasn't your fault.
But…
I just don't think I can face you anymore.
I'm scared I might end up blaming you.
[crying]
[sniffles]
So, I guess…
let's not see each other anymore.
If I don't hear from you,
I'll just assume you're doing okay.
You should do the same.
Dong-ju.
You should also…
let go of the guilt now…
and try to live in peace.
[sniffles, cries]
[Gyeong-il's mom sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
GYEONGIL NOODLES
These are the cases from the past two weeks,
and I think they might be related.
I'd like to start with the most recent one,
Lee Gyeong-il's death, and work backwards.
The prosecutor closed the case two hours after his death,
and the correctional officer on duty has disappeared.
We just wait. Let it play out.
Someone's leaking our intel, if we don't jump on this, it will be too late--
[captain] I know.
Just observe for now.
Look, the guard on duty's gone AWOL for days without a word.
Won't you even check?
Whether it was suicide or murder, he's a key witness, yeah?
What… is giving me his phone number that hard?
Captain Go…
Special Crime Team, Insung PD, all right?
Come again?
-You little shit… He hung up. -[line disconnects]
[sighs]
[whimpering]
You should've handled it better.
[straining]
I didn't give you this watch just so you could lose it. I'm disappointed.
Open your eyes.
Look at me.
Mr. Han?
-Correctional Officer Han? -Yes.
I deleted the CCTV footage, and there's no other evidence. I swear.
-[breathing shakily] -No.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Why do you think I gave this to you, Mr. Han?
This isn't just any watch.
It's a symbol of my trust in you.
You can't just
lose it or take it off whenever you feel like it, right?
I'm sorry. Next time, I'll…
I'm sorry, but there's no next time.
Once you remove this watch…
there's no turning back.
Please don't kill me, sir! Please don't kill me!
-[grunting, groaning] -[blows landing]
I've been relying on Mr. Baek a lot lately.
Tell him I'll give him a call…
The Yanbian guys opened it to make sure everything was fine.
But we made sure to rough them up,
so there won't be issues.
[Ju-yeong] The thing is,
you don't know if it was already opened before they got to it.
That female cop…
She was a well-known shooter on the national team.
She used to be on TV a lot.
[sighs]
Another potential risk.

Once regarded as a promising boxing prospect,
Lee sustained an injury during a match against Yoon Dong-ju

[sighs]
[real estate agent] Just imagine this whole area
turning into high-rise apartments, all right?
Sounds awesome, doesn't it?
Now, the location's great too.
You won't get closer to the action than this in Insung.
[chuckles] Oh.
As prime as it gets. Yeah.
What's going on?
[real estate agent] Oh, you're home. Hey. Morning.
I'm the real estate agent.
-Real estate agent? -Haven't you heard yet?
The landlady's putting this place up for sale.
[phone buzzing]
Well… [chuckles] …take a look around the area first.
Yeah. Yeah.
Look, I'm sure you're aware by now,
but these days, if you're not covered with at least a couple of insurance plans…
then you'd take a serious financial hit,
and that could ruin everything you've worked for. I'm terrified at the thought.
[groans]
Oh, don't come to me-- I already have insurance.
Oh, which one ya got? Huh?
I've got several--
Actually, those guys there do some seriously dangerous work.
-Is that so? -Uh, Dae-yong, don't you need insurance?
The commissioner is calling me. I gotta go.
Did you call the precinct?
Your work is dangerous, right?
I mean, you really do need good insurance.
-Okay. -Take a look at this. My number's on it--
make sure to save it, and don't hesitate to call.
Oh, uh… Jae-- Jae-hong.
He's got four kids, so he might need something more substantial…
Really? That must be tough.
Sir, I need to quickly visit the Support Division.
Oh, right. I also need some stuff from the Support Division--
[Gyeong-suk] No, this is more important.
Listen. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Are you all right?
Oh, what just happened?
I mean… [chuckles] Wow, really?
-Are you okay, detective? -Yeah, yeah.
I'm telling you, this one's a total loss for the insurance company.
Just hear me out for a second, hmm?
Okay? You know how police officers always get hit with all of those restrictions--
limited coverage, low payouts-- just because of how risky the job is, right?
It's completely unfair, if you ask me.
Drink this. Helps with the joints.
How is it?
Oh, that's smooth.
[chuckles] You can have all these. Here, here.
-Oh, uh, Han-na. Don't you need insurance? -Oh, hey.
You don't need to worry about her insurance.
Han-na!
Hey, what's the matter?
Why did you come here without telling me?
I did call you. You just didn't answer.
Is your phone broken or what?
How could you not pick up even once?
You didn't answer, you didn't call back.
And I haven't seen you in months, not a word,
and the first thing you say to your mom is,
-"Why did you come?" -[high-pitched ringing]
That really hurts, you know. While we're at it, you never call me
unless I call you first.
How could you treat me like that?
Are you even listening?
-Hey, I'm talking to you. -[ringing stops]
Huh?
-Mom, you listed Dad's house? -What?
Oh, uh, I suppose.
Why wouldn't you ask me first?
That's why I was calling.
The mortgage is overdue, all right?
What else was I supposed to do?
Still, how could you consider selling it?
Where am I supposed to get that cash?
I don't see any other way around it, okay?
See? You should've signed with that talent agency like I told you.
But you became a cop instead. A cop!
[sighs]
-Let's talk later. -[Jae-hong] Hey.
Where are you going? Let's finish this first.
I don't want to fight with you anymore.
That's why I'm leaving. I don't want to fight with you.
Hey, you hate me that much? Aw, come on.
You didn't know?
Hey.
I only care about Dad's house-- just leave it alone, I mean it.
And don't come here again.
But…
[sighs]
[Gyeong-suk] Sir, listen,
about the shampoo commercial renewal?
Let's put a pin in that for now.
Well…
No, no, Han-na's not renewing those terms.
It's not happening, absolutely not.
I mean, are you kidding?
Hold on, no, no, no, no. If you can't meet our terms, Han-na's out.
You can't be serious. What do you take my girl for?
She's about to break a world record, okay?
[high-pitched ringing]
[announcer] The world record is right in front of her.
-This is the moment… -A world record…
She could make history right here.
She's about to break a world record…
[exhales]
[gunshot]
[bird wings fluttering]
[announcer 1] Oh, Ji Han-na? Uh, what just happened there?
[announcer 2] This is completely unexpected.
It looks like she momentarily lost focus under pressure.
That's not like her at all…
Oh, hey. Great job, honey. You're the best.
Just give me one second.
No, I just told you, those terms won't work.
Ugh, Sir, right now, Han-na is number one in the world-- on this entire planet.
If you were in her shoes, would you really agree to those terms? Be honest.
If you lose her now, it's going to cost you big.
A talent like that doesn't come around often.
Honestly, I'm starting to feel bad for you.
I mean, what more can I even say now?
[gasps]
Oh, no, what did you do? Do you realize how much that hair is worth?
Oh, my gosh! No!
[high-pitched ringing]
-[ringing stops] -[sighs]
-[high-pitched ringing] -[sighs]
[groans]
[pants]
[Han-na] That's why I'm leaving. I don't want to fight with you.
[Gyeong-suk] Hey, you hate me that much? Aw, come on.
You didn't know?
Are you all right?
[Han-na] Who's worrying about who now?
You big fool.
You think you can get up?
You, uh… You're still dealing with that?
[Han-na] Sometimes.
Is that why you're still on the meds?
When it gets bad.
I'm used to it. I've had it since middle school.
How did you win so many gold medals in that condition?
I could barely even get my hands on one.
At fifty yards, you can barely even see the target,
but you still hit that tiny dot dead-on.
[scoffs]
A genius, is a genius. Right?
There's no such thing as a genius.
You just push through. That's it.
Once your sights are on the target,
you can't lose your footing.
In that moment,
nothing else can exist.
No stray thoughts,
not even the sound of your own breath.
Otherwise, everything vanishes in an instant.
Including your faith and your effort.
So stay strong.
Don't lose your footing now.
Ugh…
"Keep your head cool, and your heart burning no matter what."
You're a boxer. Haven't you heard of this?
You have to stop wasting your emotions.
Just focus on the target.
Catch that bastard at any cost.
…actions to induce
unlawful…
Goddamn it.
Why the hell am I doing this? Jesus.
On a Friday night, no less.

Someone's leaking our intel, if we don't jump on this, it will be too late…
[captain] I know.
Just observe for now.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Oh, hi.
You requested personnel files, right?
Yes, that's right.
And could I also take a look at the temporary employees' files?
Sure.
Huh? Who searched this?
PERSONNEL FILE NAME: JI HAN-NA
Which department's files are you looking for?

[Man-sik] Oh, what are you doing here?
I'd like to withdraw my resignation.
If it's not too late of course.

No, of course not.

Here we go…
Jae-hong, my boy. Green looks good on you.
Oh, hey.
Do I still have a chance to join?
[chuckles] Of course, yeah.
Wow, isn't this great.
Ji's return and Kim joining us--
We're finally starting to look like a real special task force, huh?
A real special task force. Yeah, right.
What does he think this is, a convenience store?
Coming and going whenever he likes?
You said I could do whatever I want.
If you're just going to cry about it, you might as well quit.
You'll just drag everyone down.
Cry? Who are you talking about?
I'm talking about you. Who else? Were you crying again just now?
You've got puffy eyes.
I was up all night.
The Lee Jin-su hit and run case. I would like to take it.
-Oh, yeah? Great. Great, great. -Back off. That case is mine.
[scoffs]
You really think you can catch anyone if you're moping around all day?
And I told you
you better watch your tone.
Just back off…
Sir.
[chuckles]
What the hell is wrong with him? Is he nuts? I swear.
He's always been nuts. Feels like he's himself again.
-That's true. -Oh, you're right. Yeah.
That's a good thing.
[Jae-hong] All right. What do we got?
GYEONGIL NOODLES
What are you here? What are you up to this time?
I don't know. I just want to talk to him for a minute.
-I told you, you can't -You need to leave now!
I'll drop this off and then I'm gone.
No, just leave.
Ugh, goddamn it…
Okay, fine.
-Just one minute! -[grunting]
Wait! You little shit, come back here.
Oh, Jesus.
What's going on? Who are you?
I'm sorry, sir.
I need to talk to you now, Min Ju-yeong.
-[guard] Unbelievable. You need to leave. -Get off me.
That's the man I was looking for.
It's fine. I'll take it from here.
-I'm sorry, sir. -I'll leave you to it, Officer Min.
Giving him this, and then I'm out.
[groans] Damn it.
[shouts]
Man, now that I see you, it's hard to control myself.
You know?
[panting, shouting]
[Han-na] "Keep your head cool, and your heart burning no matter what."
[Dong-ju] "Keep your head cool,
and keep your heart burning."
I appreciate this.
I'll drop the charges, so don't worry about it.
Let's not see each other again.
I bet someone like you has never even looked up at the sky.
Excuse me?
Prologue. Ever heard of it?
"I long to feel no shame as I look up at the sky,
the breeze in the trees no longer…

Try having a little shame
if you're goddamn human.
Quite poetic, aren't you?
The All Asia champion.
Gold medalist on the national boxing team.
Twenty one fights, 21 wins, 21 knockouts, zero losses.
What?
I'm that guy.
Go head and try if you think you can outrun me.
But I'll take down anyone…
who steps into my ring.
From now on, you two and you two are partners.
Wait a second, why do you get to decide that?
[Gyeong-cheol] These are the photos from your father's crime scene.
[Gwang-se] There's this guy called Monkey.
He's the top car smuggler in the country. He's number one.
[Man-sik] Sometimes you've got to do something wrong to do what's right.
What are you doing?
[Jong-hyeon] This isn't something a regular customs officer can handle.
[Song] Officer Min.
[Man-sik] Min Ju-yeong's leaving the country tonight at seven.
We're gonna need to change the plan.
[Ju-yeong] Mr. Lee Gyeong-il didn't die because of me.
He died because of you, didn't he?
[Dong-ju] If there's one thing you can count on from this bastard,
it's consistency.
[Man-sik] Dong-ju! What are you going to do?
[Dong-ju] What am I going to do? oing to do?
