ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS, AND GROUPS ARE FICTITIOUS
CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED IN SAFE CONDITIONS
[players chattering]
-[ball thuds] -[players shout]
[coach] Left. Left.
[romantic music playing]
[Dong-ju] Time seemed to slow to a stop.
Everything was vivid and clear.
I could hear my breathing and see the beads of sweat on my gloves.
But…
I couldn't dodge that punch.
A blindsided hit when I was wide open.
By the time I saw it coming, it was already too late.
Hey, Yoon Dong-ju. Are you all right?
Yoon Dong-ju.
Some things you just can't avoid.
Are you all right?
Your whole body goes weak,
and you can't even lift a finger.
Everything turns hazy…
and distant, like you're drunk.
Yoon Dong-ju. Yoon Dong-ju!
[grunts]
Yeah, I'm…
I'm all right.
That's how love hits you.
SAFE INSUNG, HAPPY CITIZENS
[siren wailing]
[sighs] Look at this asshole.
-Did he come to sightsee? -Not now, you punk.
Still running your mouth? You never listen.
I told you go back to the hospital.
Always yapping.
Mr. Min Ju-yeong.
At around 2:10 a.m. on the 13th,
Lee Jin-su was killed in a hit-and-run,
on his way home after working late.
A week later, at around 3 a.m. on the 20th,
Lee Gyeong-il, the hit-and-run driver who turned himself in…
I'M SORRY I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE
…committed suicide in prison.
Five days after that, at around 5:30 a.m. on the 25th,
Kim Deok-chul, a car smuggler known as "Monkey" was murdered.
[tense music playing]
What does any of that have to do with me?
Son of a bitch.
He was the boss of the Monkey Gang.
He was smuggling cars, illegal weapons, and drugs
through the Philippines as well as Russia.
He even forged documents to get the goods cleared through customs.
You can't pull that off without help from the inside.
-You know that, right? -Yeah.
Lee Jin-su was in charge of processing those documents.
Before him it was…
PERSONNEL FILE NAME: MIN JU-YEONG
…you, Mr. Min Ju-yeong.
[suspenseful music plays]
PERSONNEL FILE NAME: MIN JU-YEONG
We've found the hit-and-run vehicle that killed Lee Jin-su.
It's being analyzed by forensics right now.
Tell me, whose DNA do you think they'll find?
Let's wait to find out…
what kind of evidence turns up.
Looks like you're not hurt too bad. I thought you'd be in the hospital.
I'm sticking around to see you locked up.
You better brace yourself.
You're finished now. No way out.
[Ju-yeong] Arresting people so recklessly, like this.
You really make your job look easy.
You bastard. You call that easy?
I'm putting my life at risk everyday.
[Ju-yeong] No.
This is where you start risking your life.
It's just the beginning.
[Jong-hyeon] Mr. Min,
why are you constantly checking your watch?
Force of habit.
My job requires tracking arrivals and departures nonstop.
Are you expecting something to come in?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Dong-ju] This asshole. He's planning to park his ass and wait it out.
-He's not going to say a word. -Mmm.
If he keeps this up, getting a warrant won't be easy.
No, we've still got time.
Forensics will be in soon, right?
I'll check with them again. [yawns]
We need to pressure him until he cracks. Talking is not gonna work on this asshole.
-Mm-hmm. -Come on.
-Will you stop with the "Mm-hmms"? -[knocking on door]
Excuse me.
[tense music plays]
Who are those guys?
-We need to lock that bastard up! -Ugh, come on!
Why are you taking him?
-Hey! -What's the goddamn reason?
-Will you just calm down? -Calm down?
How do you expect me to calm down right now?
-That's enough! -Come on, this is ridiculous!
I'm not putting you down until you stop.
[sighs]
Don't.
I'm sorry.
Min Ju-yeong's suspected of smuggling.
Insung Customs sent the case
-to the Prosecutor. -Okay.
The Customs Act requires you to hand him over to us.
Here's the order.
Take it. I can't read this stuff anymore.
Hey.
What? Spit it out.
The big shot prosecutor came all the way down here just for one criminal?
It's barely morning.
Seok-hyeon, I know you don't like me, but…
-you can't do this. -Hey.
You think I enjoy wasting my time here? That I came for fun?
You work for the state, you follow orders.
I'm already pissed that I got dragged here this early.
Sir, the senior superintendent wants to see you.
Okay. Be right there.
Move.
[Han-na] Mr. Min Ju-yeong, wait.
Let me ask him one thing.
That watch, where'd you get it?
I got it as a gift.
A gift from who?
Why are you so curious?
From what I've heard, that watch isn't available anywhere in Korea.
Really?
That could be the case.
It was a gift from a Russian friend.
His name is…
It's been ages. I don't remember.
Strangely enough,
the Golden Bunny Lee Sang-gon, and J9 CEO Oh Jong-gu,
both are suspected of colluding with you and just so happen to wear the same watch.
We found another one where Lee Gyeong-il's body was found.
Do we have similar tastes?
-Well, it's probably just a coincidence. -Is that so?
I don't think it's a coincidence.
That female cop.
You were on the national team.
The Shooting Fairy everyone saw on TV.
I never thought I'd see you here.
Sorry, what's your name?
Ji Han-na, Senior Officer.
Officer Ji, it looks like you might be a watch person.
Would you like to take a closer look…
and see if it's the same one?
[tense music plays]
What're you waiting for? Take him already.
I'd love an autograph next time we meet.
[sighs] What are you doing?
Don't get close to him.
Whoa.
-Hey! -Get off me!
-Get the hell out of my way! -Shit.
Knock it off! You gonna punch a prosecutor?
So that's it? We let him walk?
I don't give a shit if he's a prosecutor!
-You little shit. Starting this early? -Hey!
Hey, you bastard.
I'll put your ass in a cell so fast you won't even see it coming!
Try to run. I'll be right behind!
Yeah. I'll chase you to the ends of…
[high-pitched ringing]
-Hey, hey, hey, hey. -[groaning]
[Man-sik] Shit. What's wrong?
[coughs, groans]
[Man-sik] What's wrong?
You said the same thing before, but I didn't get a chance to answer.
Go ahead and try if you think you can.
-Looking forward to it. -You goddamn bastard.
Are you all right?
Better get yourself back to the hospital.
Might wanna take care of yourself first.
-Don't get too worked up. -[grunts]
[Man-sik] Stop. Come on.
-Time to go. -Yes, sir.
[Seok-hyeon] Yes, Chief. We just got him.
Yes, sir. I will.
[sighs]
What a joke.
Escorting some petty criminal.
Hey.
So, what's your deal?
Why is the chief prosecutor getting involved just because of you?
You guys related?
We're not.
You know him from school?
No.
All right. So, who the hell are you then?
A civil servant…
just like you.
I told you, I'm fine.
Look, you can't leave the hospital without permission, all right?
-I'm sorry about that. -[doctor] Okay.
I wouldn't worry too much.
He's showing signs of a mild concussion.
We'll run a few more tests to be sure.
But with a few days of rest in the hospital, he should be fine.
Who's the next patient?
[nurse] We'll take you for some tests now.
For God's sake.
I specifically told you to not run around like an idiot.
Now look at you.
You're not leaving that bed till you're healed.
What about Ju-yeong?
How are you going to catch him without me?
Easily.
Just shut up and go take your tests.
[nurse] We're taking you for some tests now.
Here we go.
Should we call his family?
-[phone buzzing] -He doesn't have one. It's just him.
AN DAE-YONG
What, are you calling just to piss me off again?
Why? What's going on?
Yeah, understood.
I gotta head back to the agency.
Sounds like something else came up.
Ji, listen. Would you mind taking care of Dong-ju?
-Me? For real? -Yeah. If you don't mind.
For whatever reason, he only listens to you.
-Thanks. -Thanks, Han-na.
All right.
What is it, huh? What's going on?
What?
[Jae-hong] I got it.
Captain. [sighs] Just got off with the NFS.
The prosecution grabbed all of our stuff,
including the car.
Now that it's happened to me, I know it's tough.
-What are you doing? Get off. -[groans]
Prosecution cleaned us out.
Any case that's even slightly related to that damn customs officer.
The Lee Jin-su hit-and-run, Golden Bunny, Monkey, all of it.
Who the hell is this Min Ju-yeong guy?
I wish I had an answer. Damn bastard.
-Sorry, what's your name? -Ji Han-na, Senior Officer.
BANG

[sponsor] Make sure we've got enough for all the shooters.
-[staff 1] Will do. -[staff 2] Yes, sir.
POWER UP WITH A BANG STEAMED BUN!
If it all looks good, bring some boxes over.
All right.
[camera shutters clicking]
-Here we go. Good luck, Miss Han-na! -All right, let's go!
[journalists clamoring]
Are you kidding me?
[clamoring continues]
[groans] I can't believe this.
-[clamoring] -[gunshot]
I'm just sticking to my routine, eating right and keeping in shape.
[reporter 1] How are you preparing for the São Paulo games?
[reporter 2] Do you think you'll bring home another gold this time?
[Han-na sneezes]
Oh, I'm freezing.
[Han-na shivers]
Hello? Anyone there?
[gasps]
Nothing hits like a Bang Steamed Bun!
Perfect for a cold winter day.
Wow, what a superstar.
We had to train at night 'cause she was off shooting that dumb commercial.
Bang bang.
[shooter 1] What can you do?
The Shooting Fairy doesn't have time for us.
-Well, that's Ji Han-na. -She's not here for the team.
She's here for the camera.
[shooter 2] By the way, did you guys hear?
She broke up with Kim Jong-hyeon, the fencer.
-[shooter 3 gasps] Why? What happened? -What do you think? Isn't it obvious?
Who could put up with her?
[shooters laugh]
-[mockingly] Bang bang bang! -Not even her reflection can stand her.
Jesus, why'd they just throw these out?
Cold Bun won't like this.
This is just mean!
[shooters giggling]
[shooter 1] Han-na, thanks for the bun! Yum!
They're just jealous, you know.
Look, it's not easy to win a gold medal, and you've got a whole collection.
It gets under their skin.
Bothers 'em.
Talent comes with a price, you know.
Like being surrounded by jealousy and envy.
Yeah. I know the feeling.
Hey. I'm taking these, okay?
Min-cheol, the judo guy,
one gold medal sticker and boom, national team.
I need some of that luck. [chuckles]
Did you lose another match?
You're not better, 'cause you keep chasing luck.
I'm the Asian champion, all right.
I've just had some bad luck lately.
You know, there'll always be critics,
but the truth is, most people like you!
[romantic music playing]
I like you too, a lot!
[chuckles]

[door opens]
[clears throat] Why would you put this on here?
[Han-na exclaims]
-Give me that. -No, it's mine. You gave it to me.
-[grunts] Hand it over. -No, you can't take it back.
-Just give it here. -It's hard to get another one.
-Hand it over! -No, I'm not…
[gasps]
[nurse] Visiting hours are over.
Back to your bed now.
-[clears throat] -[grunts]
Shoot, it ripped a little.
Lie down, please.
[sighs]
-Oh, you're here. -Hey.
-[nurse] This is going to sting a little. -[Dong-ju exclaims] Hang on a second.
-[nurse] A little pinch, little pinch. -[Dong-ju] Wait, wait, wait! Wait!
-[Dong-ju screams] -Sounds like he's doing better now.
Uh, I came here to tell you something, Han-na.
-[inhales, sighs] -[K-pop plays on speakers]
[Han-na] Thanks.
[Jong-hyeon] Well, uh…
So, about earlier…
It's fine.
The truth is…
I think Min Ju-yeong has been keeping an eye on you.
I think he pulled your file from the agency.
From inside the agency?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure he thinks you saw something in Lee Jin-su's file.
[sighs]
Do you remember anything? Anything at all?
[sighs]
Right now, he's just watching because he's not sure how much you know.
But the deeper we dig and the closer we get,
there's no telling what he might do.
It could get dangerous.
So, I was thinking maybe you should work on another case for now.
Yeah.
Tell me something.
Is this why you're on the team?
Don't make me rely on you again. [sighs]
We're not together anymore.
And I'm not going back.
Also, this might work in our favor.
How so?
I'll be the bait if that's what it takes.
-Hello, sir. -[chief] Hi.
Chief, we brought the customs officer like you asked.
So, what do we do now?
[phone buzzing]
Yes, Mr. Mayor.
[eerie music playing]
Yes, sir. Understood.
Mr. Jang, let this bastard go.
[sighs]
[Seok-hyeon clears throat]
[Jang] Um, you can go.
[Man-sik] Man, look at this punk.
He's in and out of the police and prosecutors' office,
like it's his own damn house.
[Jong-hyeon] The prosecutor has acknowledged his role in the smuggling
but deferred prosecution, calling it minor.
[sighs]
Is that his only punishment?
He just got a three-month pay cut and a transfer from Insung Customs?
What the hell is this bastard's deal?
Dig into everything on Min Ju-yeong.
Family, hometown, school,
anyone even remotely connected to his work.
Hell, maybe even check his old underwear if you have to.
Someone's backing him. I can guarantee you that.
SURVEILLANCE DIVISION CUSTOMS OFFICER MIN JU-YEONG
[contemplative music playing]
[Man-sik] Grade 7 Surveillance Division, Insung Customs.
Studied at Hanguk University.
Yeah. He got in on a scholarship,
-but dropped out after just one semester. -Why?
He took leave, and applied for the customs exam right after.
My guess, to cover tuition.
[Jong-hyeon] He doesn't keep in touch with any of his old classmates.
He's got a good reputation at work.
But strangely enough,
he doesn't seem to have any close friends there either.
The only person he seems to have any real connection with is Kim Yu-na,
from his division.
Originally from Insung. Family died in an accident when he was young.
His uncle raised him.
[Man-sik] So he's got no friends, no family.
What about his assets?
[Jae-hong] A rental deposit of 120 million won,
56 million in savings, and a subcompact car. That's it.
INSUNG CITY GOLDENGATE CENTRAL CITY CONSTRUCTION SITE

Uh, my ears feel like an old radio.
Feeling a little nauseous and dizzy.
Ah.
Are you on any medication?
Uh, on and off painkillers. Nothing regular.
What kind of painkillers?
I'm not sure.
Uh… What was it called again?
Uh, Ménière's disease. That's what she has, right?
Who are you talking about?
Ah.
I'm talking about my cute, sweet Cold Bun.
You are my patient. I'm asking about you, Officer.
-Really I'm fine, doc. -You're not in any pain?
-No. -That's got to hurt.
Hey. Come on, this is nothing at all.
Doc, I was a champion, okay?
The boxing gold medalist. The Energizer, Yoon Dong-ju!
Okay, sure.
Let's order a head CT.
Uh, I think we should run a few more tests.
Looks like you're a bit malnourished.
LUXURY SPORTS CAR CAUSES 3-VEHICLE COLLISION
First, make sure you eat properly. It'll help your bones heal faster.
Don't just eat eggs.
We've got more to check.
So, we'll keep an eye on you for a few more days, and…
What's wrong, Mr. Yoon?
[news reader] A high-end sports car was caught on traffic cameras
speeding at over 125 miles per hour.
-I've seen that red sports car. -Ignoring multiple traffic signals,
the driver tore through the streets in a reckless rampage.
The chaos ended in a serious accident
-when another vehicle… -[gasps]
That's one of the missing cars from the Monkey Gang.
[nurse] It's time for your shot, Mr. Yoon.
Jesus.
Wow.
You break the law like it's a damn joke, and you haven't lost your job.
You really must be something.
Okay, nicely done.
Don't be picky with your food. Shady business burns carbs.
Aw, table for one again?
Figures. No friends.
Two-faced jerks like you, they give off a smell.
People know to stay clear.
It's like instinct.
-How old are you? -One million thirty-two years old. Why?
You look younger.
[inhales sharply] Why don't you wanna be my friend, then?
[chuckles]
[scoffs]
Let me explain something, in case you don't know.
[intense music playing]
When you cause a traffic accident,
you face both civil and criminal charges.
Normally, you'd try to settle things quietly.
But I'm not settling. Hell no.
You've got friends in the right places,
but without a settlement, you're going to jail.
[inhales sharply] If I've got such powerful friends like you say,
you really think that's going to happen?
Have you heard of Ali?
Muhammad Ali.
He once said, and I quote,
"Impossible is nothing."
It wasn't pride. It was a core mind-set.
You might've run this place till now,
calling the shots and getting away with it.
Now you're in my ring, friend.
And the rules you wrote won't save you from this round.
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
Well, at the moment, I'm down.
Which means you're still on borrowed luck.
I'll be right behind you though.
Don't be picky with your food.
[sighs]
[doctor] Looks like you're a bit malnourished.
First, make sure you eat properly. It will help your bones heal faster.
Don't just eat eggs.

For some reason, he's team smarty-pants lately.
Hmm.
[Man-sik] Hey!
[Dong-ju chuckles]
[scoffs, laughs]
Hey. What the heck are you doing in the office?
I told you to stay put at the hospital.
Come on! What's the point of lying around in bed if I'm totally fine?
It's just a waste of money.
What's that? A gift?
Don't be ridiculous. I bought it for myself.
It was buy one, get one free. So…
Thank you. Appreciate it.
[scoffs] Jesus.
[chuckles] Wow. All this smoke.
Are we working or grilling?
Mmm.

You're back.
Are you feeling all right?
Never been better.
Hey…
Good morning.

-Dong-ju, did you have… -[Dong-ju] Oh.
What's for breakfast today again?
-[whispers] Clean it up. Now. Go ahead. -Not by myself.

-[whispers] Take it. -Hold on! I don't want it! Take it!
Sorry, Jae-hong.

What's that… What's that smell?

This is a lovely scent.
Much better, right? [chuckles]
[Han-na sighs]
[Dong-ju sighs]
-Uh. -[chuckles]
[clears throat]
Man.
Who was I trying to protect when I broke my arm, huh?
I'm supposed to eat a lot so my bone heals faster.
[romantic music playing]
[clears throat]
[sighs]
Here. Eat.
[chuckles]
[ship's horn blaring]
[Jong-hyeon] He thinks you saw something in Lee Jin-su's file.
Do you remember anything? Anything at all?
Hey, you can have mine too. Eat up.
[punching keys]
All right. Now that Dong-ju is back, let's figure out our next move, okay?
Han-na's not back yet?
Guess not.
Where is she?
Weren't you just with her?
[contemplative music playing]
[Han-na] This might work in our favor.
I'll be the bait if that's what it takes.
[sighs]
[seagulls squawking]
[Han-na] I've been looking all over for you.
Sometimes, during a match I lose sight of the target, you know.
It's right in front of me, but it feels far.
And I can't find it.
Everything's a blur.
[dramatic music playing]
When that happens…
I take a few deep breaths…
and lock my gaze on one spot.
And then it finally comes into view.
I can see the bull's-eye.
OH JONG-GU (J9 SECURITY)
I see exactly what I'm aiming for.
I see my target waiting.
And that's my moment.
A gift for you.
If you knew those bastards were tailing Han-na why did you keep it to yourself?
What would you have done, Dong-Ju? What if you'd known?
[sighs]
[tense music playing]
Uh, Han-na.
I'm okay, relax.
Did you go see Min Ju-yeong?
Mm-hmm.
[Jae-hong] No way.
What did you do?
The blue circle I saw on Lee Jin-su's documents.
I didn't notice it at first. This was it.

-…as an officer at Insung Customs. -I guess he's got connections there.
Good work.
-Thanks. -Well, Han-na helped us figure this out.
Nice work, Han-na.
But it's dangerous going alone,
so take me with you next time, okay?
What a punk.
[Dae-yong] I thought I'd find you all moping around in here.
Did you find something interesting?
[eerie music playing]
[watch ticking]
[Han-na] Go ahead and run if you can. Good luck.
Isn't she the cutest little fairy?
My boss and the Russian guest are heading straight to the port.
Yeah, I got the call.

but she took off with the phone and the car.

Things aren't great over here right now.
Where are you?
[Man-sik] Work with us?
-You want in with us? -Yeah.
The prosecution took everything we had, so how?
There's still one thing.
[Dae-yong] Here.
This is a synthetic drug called Candy.
It's a high-purity, high-quality new drug that used to circulate
only in parts of Eastern Europe,
but it looks like it's made its way into Korea recently.
Monkey had the product in his haul too.
If we trace the supply route,
I bet we'll find Min Ju-yeong in there somewhere.
We can't just sit here doing nothing.
What does that say about us? We're the police. This is unacceptable, right?
I wonder…
why would you want to help us?
[Dong-ju inhales]
He's right.
What, you need us to give you another handout?
Like there's a handout left to take from you.
So that's a no? Huh?
Just forget it. I'll take this to Narcotics then.
Hey, wait. First,
let's hear him out, check the info they have.
Yeah, that's right. Take a seat here.
Tell us what you've got. It's best you start talkin'.
-Sit down. -All right.
[Dae-yong clears throat]
Listen, there's this one guy who's making all this stuff.
They call him Drug Demon.
Other than the fact that he's a male, around six foot three,
there's been no confirmation on anything else.
No name, no age, no nationality.
All we've heard are junkie stories--
North Korean spy, yakuza, Filipino gang.
But they all agree on one thing.

you die."

Hold on… Are you…
Jesus… You're the real Drug Demon?
-[chuckles] -I'm sorry.
-I was just following orders, I swear. -[sighs]
[groovy music continues]
Is that the real Candy?
Mm-hmm.
Wanna give it a shot?
[breathing heavily]
[gags, coughs]
Hmm? Sloppy.
I can't stand it. [clicks tongue]
-[gasps] -[chuckles]
Feeling good?
-[breathing heavily] -[chuckles]

Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

[Drug Demon] I'm calling from Gihyeon District 7.
[strains, gasps]
[exhales] Hmm.
When will they be here?
I told you to come here straight from the airport.
Things aren't great over here right now.
-Where are you? -[Drug Demon] Me?
I'm on my way to hunt some rats.
I heard some clowns out there are selling knockoffs of my Candy.
[scoffs]
Fakes don't get to run wild on my watch.
Let me deal with them first.
Hmm.
Ah, and since you brought me back in to the country,
I'll take care of those cops for ya.
Each and every one.
[police sirens blaring in distance]
SAFE INSUNG, HAPPY CITIZENS
-Hey, we're in this together! So-- -Right!
-Together! -I got it!
-[police sirens blaring] -[humming] Hmm?
[Drug Demon chuckles]
Okay.
They're right on time.
Hmm.
This should do.
[intense music continues]
TIMER
[sirens blaring]
-My team, this way! -Yes, sir.
Oops.
-[tense music playing] -Ah, shit.
[panting]
-[thug 1] Get up. -[whimpers]
-You little… -[shrieks]
[breathing heavily]
Ugh, I didn't see this coming.
[Drug Demon grunts]
-[grunts] -[thug 2 groans]
[groaning]
-[thug 2] Come here. -[grunts, pants]
-You bitch! -[groans]
[Drug Demon breathing heavily]
Ugh, fuck me…
[Drug Demon] Help!
Please help me!
Please help me out!
Ow, shit. That hurts.
[whimpering]
Are you all right?
-Yeah. No. -You're not hurt?
[grunts, sniffs]
It's fuel.
Run!
Dong-ju!
[groans]
-[Jong-hyeon] Run! -[Han-na gasps]
[dramatic music playing]
[Drug Demon gasps]
-[Drug Demon screaming] -[grunts]
-[Dae-yong] Dong-ju! -Hey! Hey!
Oh, my God, let's get outta here!
Dong-ju?
[panting]
[strains]
Grab my arm!
-Hey, Dong-ju! -Hey!
[clamoring]
[Man-sik] Just don't fall!
Just let her go! Let her--
No, no, no, don't… I didn't mean that!
Don't let go! Don't let go! I'm coming.
[straining]
[straining continues]
-[police chattering] -[camera shutters clicking]
[Man-sik coughs]
Jae-hong, Is everyone okay?
What about Dong-ju? Did he make it to the hospital?
Yeah, they patched him up. He's back at the agency.
We're not gonna find any evidence here.
I'd say it was a scalpel, based on the neck wounds.
Same weapon again. Also used on the other bodies.
[Dae-yong] Three bodies in the Philippines had the same marks.
And the prime suspect was…
Drug Demon.
Drug Demon is here in Korea?
[Dae-yong] That's hard to say.
-Drug Demon? -[Dae-yong] Could be a copycat.
-What's in that room? -[Jong-hyeon clears throat]
Looks like while they made the drugs… [coughs]
…they kidnapped girls and sold them overseas-- trafficking them.
[Man-sik] Only one of them survived.
[mysterious music playing]
[electrical buzzer rings]
[gangster] Leo!
You were just a goddamn mutt groveling for scraps!
Now you're pulling this shit on my turf?
[in Russian] Hello there.
[gangster, in English] You want me to blow a hole through your goddamn head?
[gasping, whimpering]
Listen, Leo. Spare me.
I was just doing what I had to do to survive, okay?
You know that.
Okay, look. I can help. You can have the whole operation.
The port, distribution, all of it.
Okay? Just let me live,
I'm begging you, please. Leo.
Of course I can.
My father used to own it, huh?
You're a fucking traitor.
[in Russian] Yes.
[in English] Your hands that took your own brothers' lives.
[screaming]
Your feet that trampled on your own sisters.
Your mouth. Your mouth.
Your filthy mouth.
Ah, ah.
-Come here, no. Say ah. Ah. Say ah. -[screaming]
Your filthy mouth that deceived your own mother.
[gunshot]
And your heart that betrayed your own father.
[gunshot]
[intense music playing]
[breathing shakily]
Don't come closer! I'll shoot you!
Stop! I said, stop!
How old are you?
[gun clicking]
[breathes shakily]
Seventeen, sir.
Look at me.
Come on.
Only grab what belongs in your hands.
Don't do something you'll regret.
Got that?
[thug 3] I found the one who screwed up the deal.
You find anything about a guy around six foot three--
Log it, then tell me.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
-All right, let's take a look. -[officer 1] I'm on it.
So, could you give us your name?
Is there anything you remember?
Your parents' number or maybe a friend's?
[whimpers]
I don't know.
-I can't remember anything. -Oh, man.
Do you remember anything you saw there?
Can you tell us if you do?
[breathing shakily]
I…
remember… There… There was this tall guy.
About six feet three maybe…
Those men started fighting.
And there were loud noises.
He started grabbing my neck and…
[sobbing]
-I'm sorry. -No, it's okay. You--You're just in shock.
Let's maybe talk to her again after she's had some rest.
[Man-sik] Right, yeah.
[contemplative music playing]
[Drug Demon] Help!
Help me!
Please help me out!
You can change into these.
The clothes you're wearing are evidence, so here.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
-I'll wait outside. -[Drug Demon] Okay.
[Man-sik] She's the only witness to see Drug Demon.
Her security come first.
Let's keep her with us until her memory comes back, all right?
How about we request protection and move her to a safe house?
If we do that, the info might leak.
Let's keep this between us and the investigations unit for now.
[Man-sik sighs]
-Still, we can't just keep her here. -[Drug Demon] Oh,
you don't have to worry about me.
I'll find a place to stay near here.
If anything happens, I'll call you right away.
We can't-- Right now it's too dangerous. But we'll make sure you're safe.
It's Sergeant Kim Jong-hyeon's responsibility now.
[grunting]
[funky music playing]
Wait, what…
I'll can stay with her.
You'll feel safer with me than being on your own.
[Han-na] All right, then. Good night.
I'll be right outside. Let me know if you need anything.
[sighs]
I'm stuck here, no way out.
Fuck. Ugh.
[coffee machine whirring]
-[Han-na] Still here? -[Dong-ju] Of course I am…
She won't feel safe unless she's with a reliable officer.
-Who's reliable now? -You saw it too…
She didn't even look at the others. Just grabbed me like a child.
I guess she just knew instinctively.
Oh, and also…
the captain said we're supposed to stay together 24/7.
You and I…
[glasses clinking]
…we're partners now.
[whimsical music playing]
Since when do you do what you're told?
Oh.
I like this coffee a lot,
I like the vibe of the house…
and Han-na, I like you.
[Drug Demon whimpering]
Are you all right?
-[Drug Demon screaming] -[grunts]
Grab my arm!
[chuckles]
Done.
[Dong-ju] All right. Korea's finest kimchi stew, made by yours truly.
-[Drug Demon cheers] -[Dong-ju sighs]
Wow, it looks so good.
Han-na gets the first scoop.
[scoffs] Takeout was fine. You're just doing way too much.
[Dong-ju] You've got to have some warm broth.
Come on, take a bite.
What do you think?
Good, right?
Well, um, it's not bad.
[Dong-ju] You see, it might look simple, but this broth's…
-Mmm. -…got a boxer's sorrows boiled into it.
Try it with the tofu and kimchi.
And some meat too.
[microwave beeps]
Oh.
[winces] Oh, it's hot, it's hot.
Let's see…
All right.
Here.
And for you. Here you go.
[container thuds on table]
[sighs]
What's wrong?
-Is it too hot? -[Drug Demon] It's not that.
It's a taste I didn't realize I'd missed for so long.
[chuckles]
And you made this with your arm like that. Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
It's really no big deal. I can cook just fine with one hand.
Anyway, you need something warm after all you've been through.
Just relax and rest tonight. Take it slow.
You're safe now, yeah. I'm here to protect you.
[chuckles] Okay, can't thank you enough.
[chuckling]
-Thank you. -You're welcome. Please enjoy.
Your arm… What happened to it anyway?
Oh, this?
I was just trying to catch a bad guy and trying to save someone.
But I'm not even sure if she's grateful.
Hmm?
Just eat your damn food.
Uh, so, you used to be a boxer, right? Like a pro?
Part of the national team and won a gold medal.
-Well, yeah. -Wow, incredible.
Oh. Ali? You know who that is?
[Drug Demon] Ali?
You mean, "Impossible is nothing"?
Oh, yeah! "Impossible is nothing."
Yeah, that's the one.
-Oh, really? -I'm surprised you know him.
-Of course I do. -[Dong-ju chuckles] Wow, that's amazing.
Most people think I'm talking about Ali, the singer.
[Drug Demon, Dong-ju laugh]
Wow, you got a nice place here.
If you got a nice house like this, why live in a studio?
Yeah, well, it's too big for just me,
and it's pretty far from work.
[Man-sik] Ah, okay.
Hey, listen.
You asked me to assign Dong-ju to her but are you sure this is okay?
Min Ju-yeong's after Ji-- Dong-ju's got the witness.
Right now, they're likely safer together than apart.
And we've got the area under patrol.
I don't know much, but when it comes to protection, it's good to have a mutt.
We don't have to worry about… [sighing]
…Han-na's safety… [sighs] …at least for now.
[sighs]
Who's protecting who?
[Dong-ju groaning]
With car accidents, even if he seems fine now,
muscle pain or a fever can show up after a few days once his body starts to relax.
If you could please ask his family to keep an eye on him.
I will.
All right, then.
[dreamy music playing]
[sighs]
That's sweet.
[dreamy music continues]
[mumbles]
Jesus.
[Han-na] Thank you.
[chuckles]
What?
CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE
Whoa, isn't this a designer label?
Is it real?
Yeah, I believe so.
-[Jae-hong] Captain. -[sighs]
Uh, your Senior Superintendent wants you to get ready now.
Ugh, same thing every damn year. Can't even get any work done around here.
Ready to go?
[Man-sik] Come on, let's go.
-[water running] -Hey.
Come on, we're gonna be late. Let's go!
[Dong-ju] All right, just a minute!
[exclaims] Oh, no, no, no! Okay, okay. Don't panic, just…
-Ah, shit. What do I do? -What happened? What are you doing?
-[Dong-ju] I slipped. Damn it. -Careful!
[groaning]
-[sighs] Are you all right? -Yeah.
-Get up. Come on. -[groaning]
[Han-na gasps] You…
Thank you. [chuckles]
[romantic music playing]
Why are you blushing?
Um… What?
-Is your heart racing? -I'll punch you.
-Butterflies? -I'll kill you, okay?
Mmm? [grunts]
-[grunts] -[Dong-Ju groans]
-Hurry up and get ready, God! -[Dong-ju mumbles]
Wait, turn on the water at least! The water!
-Cold Bun, I can't see! -[sighs]
[Drug Demon] Aw, that's nice.
-Are you two a couple? -No way.
Why not? You look good together.
Officer Yoon seems to like you a lot,
and I think you might just like him too. Don't you?
Like who? Dong-Ju?
-Maybe you just don't realize it yet. -I'd be out of my mind.
-You're way off. -I really don't think I am.
[contemplative music playing]
But if I'm wrong, I'm glad.
[sighs]
Hmm.
I think Officer Yoon is pretty great.
I mean, what he did…
throwing himself into danger for someone he likes.
You don't see many guys like that these days, do you?
We're going back to the agency for a while.
These other officers will look after you while we're gone.
Oh.
I'd be fine on my own.
[chuckles] I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.
Think of this as both protection and surveillance.
You're a witness, but you're also a suspect who was at the scene.
-On this beautiful day… -[cicadas buzzing]
INSUNG METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY 42ND ANNIVERSARY
Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the 42nd anniversary
of the Insung Metropolitan Police Agency--
-[camera shutter clicking] -A proud moment in our city's history.
Ugh, it's even hotter sitting down.
It's scorching. Why couldn't we just do this in a gym?
What are we doing out here in this heat?
Cause it looks better on camera this way.
Better on camera? You yanking my chain?
Commissioner say anything?
Prosecutor's raided us. He's just letting it slide?
I don't know what's going on,
even the commissioner is getting bullied.
That Min Ju-yeong
He's no ordinary guy.
What is he, the president's son?
I swear, frickin' guy could kick God's ass and still get away with it.
Oh, shoot, my ass is getting cooked.
[Pan-yeol] We would not be standing here today,
celebrating the 42nd anniversary without the dedication, courage,
and the sacrifice of our officers.
These men and women serve tirelessly, day and night,
to protect the lives, rights, and property of our fellow citizens.
Their bravery upholds the very fabric of our society.
I extend my sincerest gratitude.
Your support is the foundation upon which this agency stands.
And for that, we thank you.
Together, we will continue
to build a future rooted in trust, security, and justice…
[romantic music playing]
[Dong-ju] And who knows?
One day my charm might persuade you.
And then you'll feel it too.
I can say it again, you know. I will never fall for you.
I don't like you, okay.
Call me if you're scared.
[Drug Demon] Officer Yoon seems to like you a lot…
and I think you might just like him too. Don't you?
Maybe you just don't realize it yet.
[romantic music continues]
[cicadas buzzing]
[Dong-ju] Han-na!
Sorry I made you wait.
Man, the commissioner just wouldn't stop talking, huh?
Your legs must've gotten tired.
I wasn't sure what you'd want, so I just grabbed a bunch of stuff.
Which one do you want? Pick one.
[Han-na] I don't know if I'm drunk from the heat…
or something even stronger.
Or maybe…
I must be crazy.
[romantic Korean ballad playing]
[Dong-ju] A total of sixty-one fights, fifty-six wins and five losses.
A legendary boxer who left behind a truly great legacy.
Muhammad Ali, the fearless fighter who brought everyone to their knees.
[ominous music playing]
But one day
in June 2016,
after a long battle with Parkinson's disease,
Muhammad Ali passed away.
[romantic Korean ballad continues]
I'll handle it without any issues, so don't worry.
Counterpunch!
[Han-na] Have you been talking to my mom all this time?
[Dae-yong] Her statement checked out.
[agent] It could be the biggest case in the country's history.
We've put all the pieces together.
Let's go round them up now, every single one of them.
[Jong-hyeon] It's not that simple.
You drag him into this mess?
-Oh, I remember you now. -Me?
What do you want to do?
[Drug Demon] I'm here with a friend.
The SCIT captain's daughter. friend.
