SEUNGHYUN: Let me fill your glass.

Hey, drop the formalities.

Here, you can just call me casually.

SEUNGHYUN: There's nothing more painful
than suspecting a good person.

But actions speak louder than words.

Uyong kept texting me
with Promotion Corps stuff.

My phone broke that day,
and I took it to a repair shop.

I got it back last night,
so I didn't see the message.

SEUNGHYUN: If their actions
are suspicious,

you have to check,
no matter how hard it is.

(boys grunting)

SEUNGHYUN: Hey. Stop it.

(bully on video grunting)

I said, stop!

Let's not complicate things, okay?

You know what happens
when a KNPU student beats people.

(scoffs)

SEUNGHYUN: And when your suspicion
is confirmed,

you have only one option.

I'll take it.

The punishment.

And I want you to do the same.

ROOKIE COPS

EPISODE 6

(door closes, chimes)

Yes, I'm on my way now.

(chuckles softly)
Yes.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

JUYOUNG: Eunkang!

-Have fun.
-See you later.

(laughs)

(grumbles)

(door chimes)

I envy her. He asked her out again.

(chuckles)

What's the big deal? You talk like
you've never been asked out twice.

(in English) Sorry.
(chuckles awkwardly)

(in Korean) Hey. Did you check
the midterm grades?

-Oh, for God's sake!
-Come on.

So tell me. What grade did you get?

Why would you ask something like that?
It's my privacy.

I told you mine.

I didn't ask you. You just told me.

Come on. Then just tell me one thing.

-Are your grades better than Eunkang's?
-(sighs)

Higher or lower? Huh?

You really don't give up.
They're similar. Are you happy now?

Is that so?

Then you're in the seventh group.

Seventh...

KO EUNKANG, WOO JUYOUNG

Wait. Do you know everyone's grades?

Not everyone. Only about half.
(chuckles)

You should know both your enemy
and yourself to survive this jungle.

Oh, that's Semi.
I wonder what grade she got.

ARI: Semi!

(classical music playing)

-Do you like this painting?
-What?

Oh, I just...
(chuckles)

This artist likes to mix
fantasy and reality in one painting.

BLIND DATE GUY: This side is reality while
the other side of the door is the ideal.

The world of fantasy, so to say.

The artist likes to draw forests
and common objects like trees and flowers.

It's confusing, isn't it?

(chuckles)

The artist chose to make it abstract
to blur the line

between reality and ideal and eventually
to maximize the dreamy vibe.

(chuckles awkwardly)

They have really good coffee.

I always drink a cup of coffee
after looking at the paintings.

What would you like to drink?

EUNKANG: What? There are so many kinds.

Did you make up your mind?

I...

I'd like to have Americano.

So you like espresso.

But they're famous for their drip coffee,
so you should try one.

Do you like sour and mild-flavored coffee
or heavy, full-bodied coffee?

Well... I'm okay with anything.

-Would you like to try Geisha then?
-Okay. I'll try it.

I'd like to have one Geisha

and one Blue Mountain.

(somber music)

HONORARY COMMITTEE'S OFFICE

HYUNSEOK: You'll get a light punishment,
but your friend will be expelled.

(scoffs)

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

(engine rumbling)

(door opens)

-Thank you.
-Get back safely. I'll call you.

Okay.

(engine revving)

-(dogs barking)
-(rustling)

SINABEURO
LITTLE BY LITTLE, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT

-Didn't you eat?
-(munching)

What?

I did. I went to a burger restaurant
that was on TV

and had a burger and even fries.
I ate so many calories.

(fizzes)

SEUNGHYUN: Then...

why are you eating
like you haven't eaten anything?

Right. I'm not sure. I'm hungry.

(slurps)

(exhales)

So...

-did you have fun?
-Fun?

It was informative.
We went to an art gallery.

And it turned out
he knew quite a lot about art.

He told me about the paintings
like a curator.

(breathes deeply)
It was a very intellectual date.

-Sounds fun.
-EUNKANG: Yes, it was fun.

(slurps)

(exhales)

I'm a little confused though.

He has a good personality,
and he's nice to me.

I do like him,

but I don't really feel
comfortable around him.

I'm not sure if it's because I like him.

You know, they say
when you're interested in someone,

you get so nervous you can't really talk.

And I didn't get to talk much today.

"Oh, really?", "Oh, I see."

I was reacting like a robot.

But you always talk back to me.

Exactly. I'm not
one of those silent types.

But he'd only ask me
things that I don't know.

I couldn't talk much
because I didn't want to look ignorant.

Anyway, I'm not sure

if it's because I was nervous
because I like him

or if I just feel
uncomfortable around him.

That's stupid.

You don't know
if you're uncomfortable or excited?

It's confusing. That's why I'm asking.

Then meet someone who doesn't confuse you.

If you really like someone,
you won't be confused.

Just be with someone
who you feel comfortable around.

Someone who you can
comfortably be yourself around.

Whoever you're with,
you have to be part of the relationship.

-(rasps)
-(grunts)

-Did you cut yourself?
-No, I'm okay.

-Let me see.
-I'm really okay.

It happens to me all the time.
(shrieks)

(emotive music)

You're really a handful.

Wait here.

(door slide open)

(emotive music continues)

(blows air)

Uh...

(stammers)
Your hair was...

Mm-hm.

(clears throat)

That's good. Thanks. Let's go.
(chuckles)

Hey.

We should clean this up.

EUNKANG: Oh, right. Let's clean it up.

(chuckles)
I almost forgot.

-(can clinks)
-Oh, no.

(chuckles)

-SEUNGHYUN: Let me take that.
-EUNKANG: Okay.

(chuckles)

-How about yourself?
-What?

If you have any concerns, tell me.
I'm all ears.

I don't.

(sighs)

They say a problem shared
is a problem halved.

I guess I'm not that close of a friend.

-Got it.
-Gosh.

If someone is taking your friend
hostage and threatening you...

-EUNKANG: Who?
-SEUNGHYUN: I said, "if".

(in English)
Oh, okay.

(in Korean)
And?

You can shoot the hostage-taker,

but it can kill your friend.

What would you do?

Hmm...

I'll radio the sniper.

-What?
-Don't you watch American TV series?

When that happens,
there's always a sniper on standby

on the top of the building nearby.

So you should signal the sniper.

Then the sniper shoots. Bang!

And meanwhile, you save the hostage.

-(in English) Game over.
-(blows air)

(exhales sharply)

Thanks for the advice.

Hey, why do you think you have
only two options?

Try to be positive.

There's always a sniper somewhere
ready to save you.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey. Did you have dinner?

-Yes.
-Did you two eat together?

I just ran into him on my way back.

EUNKANG: He said he wouldn't eat,
but I forced him to eat something.

I see. . It's nice to see
you get along with your colleagues.

HYUNSEOK: Good. You should
look after your colleagues.

After all, colleagues are all you have.

I'd love to eat with you guys soon.
I'll pay for it.

Really? That's so nice of you.

Thank you.

So you're paying?

You're not a freshman.

HYUK: So Juchan is...

JUCHAN: I want to be a freshman then.

(suspenseful music)

STUDENT CENTER

(Hyunseok scoffs)
What are you saying?

You don't believe this letter, do you?

I know it's upsetting,
but please understand.

Someone tipped us off that you violated
the rule, and verifying that is my job.

(sighs)

Who is it?

Which bastard said
that I cheated to get good grades?

It's an anonymous tip-off,
so we don't know.

And even if we do, I can't tell you.

HYUK: But one thing is for sure.

It's one of the students
who took Professor Bang's exam with you.

The situation in the lecture room
and your actions were described in detail.

HYUNSEOK: Anonymous?

Then it could be all a lie.

Hey.

You remember when we were freshmen,

there was this guy who never studied
but always got good grades.

Remember there were rumors that
his uncle was a professor here?

Someone tipped off
that he leaked the exam papers.

What happened then?

They turned out to be not related at all.

This is just like that. It's slander.

I guess this is
all because I haven't been good.

So you're saying
you haven't done any cheating.

Of course not!

All right. Take it easy.

Wi Seunghyun, you bastard.

Does he want to play with me?

-(cellphone beeps)
-(phone line rings)

Where are you guys?

(car beeps)

POLICE SCIENCE INSTITUTE

Detective Kang.

You're Detective Kang Namgi, right?

Gosh. It's been a long time.
(laughs)

(students training in distance)

Yes.

What brings you here?

Oh, I'm going to the training institute.

To get training.

Ahh...

Constable... I mean,

Professor, I heard that you were here.

Right. It's been about five years
since I came back to Korea,

but I've been so busy with the school
I didn't get to tell people I was back.

-Where are you working now?
-I'm working at South Gangneung Office.

Oh. Gangneung?

KANG NAMGI

NAMGI: Now, if you'll excuse me.

Wait, Detective.

Do you...

happen to know a student named Gi Hanna?

"Gi Hanna"?

It doesn't ring a bell.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

Oh...

Well, then.

Detective.

I may be...

a bad teacher,

but I'll protect my students.

(sighs)

KNPU POLARIS
LET US INTRODUCE THE SYMBOL OF KNPU

PROMOTION CORPS

MALE EXAMINEE: I'm a high school senior,
and I want to apply for KNPU.

What kind of questions
do we get at the interview?

(keyboard clacking)

ARI: Thank you for your interest
in our school.

There aren't specific questions
for the interview,

but interviewees are usually asked
about the reasons why they applied,

books that impressed them the most,

and their opinions
on international affairs.

Did you check the number of the souvenirs?

(stammers)
I'll get right to it after this.

(keyboard clacking)

(foreboding music)

(gasps)
Oh, no.

(whimpering)
Sir, look at this.

I WAS ASSAULTED BY A KNPU STUDENT

Hey. Stop it.

I said, stop!

(exhales sharply)

Is it you two?

Answer me!

BOTH: Yes, sir!

Did you come to our school
to beat up people?

No, sir. It was an accident.

-"An accident"?
-Yes, sir.

We accidentally got caught up in a fight
while trying to protect the part-timer.

What do you mean,
"protect the part-timer"?

It's not recorded on the video,

but the part-timer was being threatened
before this happened.

As I tried to stop them,
they attacked me, and Tak...

Still, you beat some citizens.
Are you thugs?

You think you can just beat anyone
who look bad to you?!

No, sir!

This is why people say cops beat people.

-Do you know that?
-Does that mean...

we should just let them beat us?

-What?
-We did our best to avoid violence.

But some things can't be helped.

"Can't be helped"?

It's all my fault, sir.
I'll gladly accept my punishment.

Shut up!

Hyuk. Let's call the part-timer
and ask him what happened first.

We should check
what was actually going on.

He's right.
We can still punish them after that.

SUNYU: I'll call the billiards hall.

(ominous music)

As I was at the counter,
settling the bills,

they suddenly started to fight...

and that man started hitting people.

What are you talking about?

And that man beat the people,
venting his anger on them.

Why are you doing this? That's not true!

Then I ran away,
so I don't know what happened next.

Why is he doing that?
Does he hate us for some reason?

I have no idea.

(sighs)
Gosh. I can't believe this.

(sighs)

I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry I'm putting you through this.
-Don't be stupid.

I would have done the same
if I saw them beating you.

Then those punks would be
in a hospital now,

and things would have gotten more serious.

(chuckles)

Come on. That's a bit of a stretch.

Well, your punches are full of air.

What?
(scoffs)

I used to throw punches around
in middle school.

Kids used to call me "the Nuclear Fist".

Whenever we had a fight
with other classes,

-I was the one to sweep them all.
-(laughs)

Hey, check this out. I have a scar too.

All right. Let me see.

This is the scar I got from then.

And guess what happened to the punk
who did this to me. I gave him a punch,

-and it took him two weeks to recover.
-Two weeks?

It must've been just a scratch.

Quit bragging.

(clicks tongue)

(sighs)

What do we do now?

I know.

Hey, Seunghyun.

Maybe we should ask Hyunseok for help.

-What?
-I mean, he was there too.

I'm not sure if he's seen it all,

but hey, he should take our side.

We can't.

Why not? You've got to swallow your pride.

He said we should let him know
if we get in trouble.

No, we can't.

(bully grunting on video)

(Tak sighs)

Goodness. I didn't see it coming.

Does this mean he's the one
who posted the video?

It was posted from someone else's account,

but it's the same video, so...

You knew this all along?
Then why didn't you say anything?

Because that's not what matters now.

(exhales sharply)

Well, it's not like revealing that
will prove our innocence.

Right now, we should focus
on making the part-timer tell the truth.

(clicks tongue, sighs)

I'm not sure
if he'll want to see us though.

(sighs)

Then who's lying?

Are you suspecting your friends?

No, I'm not.

I mean, they might have
some wild sides that we didn't know of.

Maybe they have intermittent
explosive disorder or WSW syndrome...

Hey, shut up. That's nonsense.

DAEIL: Why do you always criticize me?

It must be the part-timer who's lying.

They wouldn't have beaten the people
for no reason.

But why would the part-timer lie?

-Technically, he was saved by them.
-(gasps)

-Maybe he was blackmailed.
-BUMJU: "Blackmailed"?

It's possible that
the bullies blackmailed him.

They're probably holding grudges
against Seunghyun and Tak.

They must have done something.

Do they have security cameras
in the billiards hall?

We can see what actually happened.

Actually, that was the first thing
Sunyu checked,

but it turned out
that they were broken since long ago.

They didn't repair them.
They're just dummy cameras.

This is bad.

The punishment for assaulting citizens
must be pretty severe.

ARI: That would be the best-case scenario.

If the victims report it to the police,
they can get criminal charges.

Then they'll be expelled.

(sighs)

Hey. Maybe we should
talk to the part-timer.

No, we shouldn't. It might be seen
as an attempt to win him over.

Anyway, I want you to keep this a secret.

Except the TAs,
not many students know about this yet.

-What about the post?
-I deleted it using the staff's account.

But we never know.

Maybe someone saw it before I did.

(foreboding music)

(indistinct shouting on video)

NAMGI: There's a freshman
named Wi Seunghyun, right?

Keep an eye on him.

And let me know
if he does anything strange.

DOWNLOAD

(keyboard clacking)

Hi, Mr. Kim. It's me, Detective Kang.

Okay. I'll take a look.

Call me if you need the victim's contact.

Right. Okay.
(chuckles)

JUNGSIM TIMES

All right. Hold on a second.

FROM: KANG NAMGI
1 LARGE ATTACHED FILE UNTITLED.MP4

Yes, it's them.

Sir. They shouldn't beat people like this
if they're KNPU students.

The doctor said
he needs four weeks to recover.

DIAGNOSIS
PATIENT NAME: YANG JIHOON

Can I take this and have a look?

Sure.

JIHOON: For justice,

I'd cooperate with anything.

We don't need anything else.

The reason why we came today
after you called me

is actually not because
of the settlement money.

We just want one thing.

I want you to kick them out of school.

-You want them to be expelled?
-JIHOON: Yes.

Imagine what will happen to this country

when kids like them
become police executives.

They beat and blackmail innocent citizens!

"Blackmail"?

Yes. I think they were worried
we might report them to the police.

They said all the officers
in the police station were their seniors,

so there would be no point
in reporting them.

One of the perpetrators
is a police executive's son.

Is there anything else they said?

-Something about their fathers?
-Right!

That reminds me of something he said.

He asked, "Do you know who my dad is?"

"He won't let this slide."

Right?

-Right. He's right.
-He did say it.

This is what they call corrupt-something.

You see, to my parents,
I'm a precious son too!

(exclaiming, sighs)

All right.

Well... Right.

The owner of the billiards hall said

a part-timer was there too.

What? You mean...

-Yoonki?
-Yoonki?

Hong Yoonki?

Do you know his contact?

-Why?
-KIM: He's a witness.

He must know what happened.

Right.

I don't think you can reach him though.
He's not answering anyone's call.

We heard this from the owner.
But sir, does his statement even matter?

We have an obvious victim here,
and we're all witnesses. Am I wrong?

-JIHOON: Gosh. It's hurting even more.
-Right.

All right, then.

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

DEAN OF KNPU, CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL
KIM SUNYEONG

Hey, Mr. Kim.

It's been a while.
It's been years, actually.

What's up?

(birds chirping)

We just managed to smooth
over the Cheongram Education issue.

And now this?

You're supposed to guide your students!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

What are the students doing now?

They're grounded until
the disciplinary committee is set up.

I heard one of them was Wi Giyong's son.

Yes. He's not the one
who committed the assault though.

He was on the scene.

I thought Mr. Wi was a top freshman
and a model student.

So we're trying to figure out
what happened.

The two students involved in this incident
are claiming innocence.

Professor Cha, I want you
to find out what happened.

Yes, ma'am.

This might be a more serious problem
than just expelling one student.

In the worst-case scenario,

we might not be able to recruit
any freshmen next year.

I know the journalist,
so I asked him to wait one more day,

but he'll write about it tomorrow.

I want you to find a solution
before that happens.

(sighs)

(phone line ringing)

Eunkang. I want you to be my sniper.

BILLIARD HALL OWNER: I said I don't know.

Please. Just this one thing.

I really don't know.

How do I know where he went?
He just suddenly quit.

Then please at least tell me his address.

He must have given you his résumé
when he applied for the job.

His address must be written there.

I threw it away already.

And even if I knew, I can't tell you.
It's his privacy.

Actually, my friend

has a crush on Yoonki.

(sobs)

(sniffles)

Could you please...

let her see him one last time?

"One last time?"

My friend is...
(sobs)

(whimpers)
...very ill.

(sighs)

(grumbles)

(suspenseful music)

BILLIARD HALL OWNER: I don't know
the exact address.

I just heard he lived
near the last bus stop.

BILLIARDS CLUB

Man. I haven't done
such method acting in a while.

(cellphone buzzing)

Hey, Juyoung.

Text me the address. We'll be right there.

(cellphone beeps)

She found a lead. Let's go.

I can't go. I'm going to the
Promotion Corps' meeting.

You didn't say that.

I forgot about it.

I can't miss it.
It's a very important meeting.

Then just the three of us will go.
Let's go.

Be careful.

JUYOUNG: Gosh.

This neighborhood is big.

I'm not sure if we'll find him
before the sun goes down.

We have to be discreet about this.

Once he hears that we're looking for him,
he might not go home.

Where should we start?

(clears throat)

I divided the area.

There is a total of 288 households
in this neighborhood.

Dividing the number by four,
as Ari isn't here,

we need to visit 72 houses per person.

First, you and Eunkang take this area.

Daeil and I will take the area

-on the other side of the road...
-DAEIL: Gosh.

DAEIL: That's stupid.

What am I going to do with these amateurs?

Follow me.

(upbeat music)

(clears throat)

Hel, hel, hel, hel, hel.

Hello, ma'am.

The laundromat couple
is a remarried couple.

Both the husband and wife
were divorced before.

But the wife didn't bring her kid.

I see.

She really knows everything
about this neighborhood.

-(chuckles)
-Ma'am.

Where does this man called...

Hong Yoonki live?

Wait. Where was it?

Right.

The lady at Charming Hair Salon
is the most unfortunate one.

She lived here for 30 years.
Then when she finally sold her house,

they decided to redevelop this area.

OLD LADY: Gosh.

I guess she wasn't born to be rich.

By the way, ma'am,

where do you think Hong Yoonki lives?

Where was it?

(banging on gate)

DAEIL: Hello?

Is anybody there?

(banging on gate)

Anybody home?

Is anybody in there?

Looks like the house is empty.

You'd better be ready.

We're going to stake out from now on.

Eunkang, to 45 degrees.

Seo Bumju, to 120 degrees.

Woo Juyong, hide back there
to watch if Hong Yoonki runs away.

-What about you?
-I'll be...

the commander-in-chief.

(Daeil grunts)

You sit right here, like a Shepherd.

Guys, let's go.

Split up!

Wait here.

(dogs barking)

(sighs)

Maybe I should have joined them.

How did it go?

Was it really a one-sided attack?

I hoped it wasn't,

but they let me down.

Are you close with them?

HYUNSEOK: You'd better be careful
with your friends.

If you get involved in this,

you might get on
the school authority's bad side.

No.

If I get involved in this,
I might regret it later.

(playful music)

(crockery clanging)

(grumbles)

What are you doing alone?
Where are the other guys?

Well, they're all out.

-Where is Seunghyun?
-He doesn't want to eat.

(Tak munching)

(indistinct chatter)

-(indistinct chattering)
-(crockery clanging)

You like strawberries.
(munching)

(reflective music)

Mmm...
(sips)

Why would they give us only two?
It's so few.

My stomach can barely feel it.

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

I was saving it for later.

ARI: You steal my food too.

JUYOUNG: Seriously,
I was saving it for later.

I'll buy you some later.

-Wow, I really want to kill you now.
-I'll buy you some.

I'm okay.
(chuckles)

Eat up. I don't like strawberries.

(munches)

I washed my hands. Eat up.

(sighs)

(object clatters)

(groans)

Gosh, my whole body aches.

(stomach croaks)

(clears throat)

(dogs barking)

SAMGEORI STORE

(chuckles)

One second. I'm on my...

I'm on my way now.

I'm almost there. I see it now.

SCHOOL BULLY 1: Hey, you ratted on us,
didn't you?

YOONKI'S BROTHER: No. I really didn't.

SCHOOL BULLY 1: Then how does
the teacher know we were smoking?

Now they know our hideout
and took all our smokes.

-It's all because of you.
-I really didn't say anything.

Guys. Let's beat some sense into him.

-SCHOOL BULLY 2: Darn it.
-Hold him.

DAEIL: What are you doing?!

(cat meows)

You little brats.

Hey.

You should be nice to your friend.

What the...

-Who are you?
-Stop looking at me like that.

DAEIL: I'm saying this
because you're like my little brothers.

You're going to regret this.

You never know
what will happen in the future.

If you become actors in the future,

the drama you star in
will have to be canceled because of you.

-Think about the future!
-Gosh! You're loud.

Was I loud?

Kids. Calm down.

You need to control your temper
to become great people. Understand?

I'll go now.

Wait, kids.

Actually, I'm a cop.

My friends are over...

My colleagues are waiting for me.

(chuckles)
Guys, he says he's a cop.

(kids laughing)

Cops aren't supposed to lie. So take this.

-(Daeil yelps)
-(police siren wailing)

What's that?

-SCHOOL BULLY 2: What do we do?
-SCHOOL BULLY 3: Darn it.

SCHOOL BULLY 2: What do we do?

-(kids clamoring)
-(police siren wailing)

DAEIL: Consider yourself lucky, okay?

The cops came right on time.

Where did they come from?

This is scary.

(police siren wailing on phone)

Jeez.

-(in English) Good job.
-(in Korean) "Good job", my foot.

Is this why you were taking so long?

I couldn't just
turn a blind eye to school bullies.

Because I'm a cop down to the bone.

Right.

Hey. Are you okay?

Thank you.

Hey, you should go see a doctor.

It's okay. I have medicine at home.

-Stand up. Let us walk you home.
-Yes.

(somber music)

-Yoonki.
-What happened? I told you not to call me.

-Well...
-Mr. Hong Yoonki.

-We're students of KNPU.
-Darn it.

(thrilling music)

DAEIL: No! Stop him!

Hey!

(dogs barking)

(Daeil exclaims nervously)
Hey! Eunkang!

Eunkang! Hey, go to the back!

(object clatters)

Hey! Eunkang!

Where are you going?

(thrilling music continues)

(grunts)

(grunting)

(thrilling music continues)

(Eunkang grunts)

(thrilling music continues)

(sighs)

(Eunkang grunting)

Darn it.

(struggling)

(panting)

EUNKANG: Wait... I won't catch you...

This...

(clears throat)

...is from Seunghyun...
(panting)

-...to you.
-And who's he?

The better-looking one...
(breathes heavily)

...with fairer skin.

(Eunkang pants)

(wind chimes tinkle)

(breathes heavily)

I don't need this.

(Eungkang panting, grunts)

(grunts)

(grumbles)

I meant, I wouldn't use my hands
to catch you.

What do you guys want?
Why did you come to my place?

Why are you avoiding us?
As if you did something bad.

(yelling)
What do you want me to do?

Go tell the truth.

-Or the guys will be expelled.
-And?

What do you think will happen
after I tell the truth?

You know what?
I'm also sick of everything.

(somber music)

I'm sick of getting bullied
and beaten all the time.

I didn't ask for their help.

(Yoonki shuddering)

They only made this harder for me!

(sniffles)

Unlike you,
we don't have parents to protect us.

We've got nothing.

Call us cowards if you want.
I don't have a choice.

Stop bothering us.

Do you want to know my life motto?

EUNKANG: "Pay back."

Whether it's kindness or hatred,

I always pay it back.

You can do the same.

Repay Seunghyun's kindness

and get back at those bullies.

We'll help you.

What a joke.

That's easy for you to say.

(retreating footsteps)

(breathes heavily)

(Eunkang sighs)

(students training in distance)

JUNGSIM TIMES

(cellphone buzzing)

Yes?

The school wants me to see some video.

Yes. I'll check it and get back to you.

Okay, bye.

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

Many journalists these days
hear only one side of the story.

But you're different, Mr. Kim.

You're a true journalist.

The right of reply is a basic right.

So what's the evidence you found?

My, you're impatient.

Have a cup of tea first.
It's on its way here.

By the way...

how did you get the video?

There was an informant.

-Who...
-(chuckles)

Do you want to know my source?

No, that's not what I meant.

This is about two young men's futures.

We just wonder why anyone
would send you a video

that was intentionally edited
to make them look bad.

What do you think?

(sighs)

I also thought something was off,
so I was looking for the witness.

I see.

That's great.

(laughs)

Yes. Come in.

This is the original video
taken by the victim himself.

It shows what happened before the assault.

YUGON: And...

Yes. Come in.

Please come in.

(somber music)

(door closes)

He's the real victim
and the witness of this incident.

(cashier register dings)

No. My boss will dock my pay for the loss.

Uh...

JIHOON: Then call the police.

You know what's going to happen
to your brother, right?

(snickers)

One, two, three, four, five...

I'll inform the desk about this first
and get back to you.

Okay. Please call us
if you have any questions.

And he's more than willing to help.
You can directly call him if you want.

Okay.

All right.

-Well, then.
-Okay.

KIM: Bye.

-YUGON: Take care.
-KIM: You too.

(chuckles)

We appreciate your courage.

I should have said the truth
in the first place.

-I'm sorry.
-But how did it occur to you...

...that you should film it
in such an urgent situation?

They often blackmailed me,
so I was collecting evidence just in case.

(cellphone buzzing)

(stammers)
Right. Well...

We're having dinner with Mr. Hong later.

-Is that so?
-EUNKANG: Yes.

All right, then. Let's go.

Are you joining us?

Ahh...

Right.

I forgot I have something
to report to the dean.

(Yugon laughs awkwardly)

I totally forgot. Yes.

-Go.
-Okay. I'll get going, sir.

Sure. Go.

Okay. Bye.

(door shuts)

-How do you think it'll go?
-I don't know.

(approaching footsteps)

Hey, Eunkang!

Thank you.
My punishment was canceled thanks to you.

No, I actually owe you an apology.
(chuckles)

You must have had a lot
to worry about because of me.

That's right.

(chuckles)

Just kidding.

(cheerful music)

(chuckles)

Hey, why are you talking like that?

We all agreed that we're friends now,
so just be casual. Or we're not friends.

She's right. Just be casual.
We're all friends.

Should we?

Let's do that, friend.

All right. Enough making up.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.

DAEIL: Have you tried KNPU cafeteria food?

Stir-fried pork is good here.

-BUMJU: That's not today's menu.
-JUYOUNG: Haven't you checked?

They can be friends so quickly.

(chuckles)

Youth sure is great.

STUDENT CENTER
STUDENT DORMITORY

(indistinct chattering)

What changed your mind all of a sudden?

You were so stubborn yesterday.

Well, I saw the note.

(chuckles)

(emotive music)

(exhales sharply)

SEUNGHYUN: Mr. Hong, you're not alone.
The friends I sent will help you.

(door slides open)

Yoonki.

I think those guys are trying to help us.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

If they bother you again, just call us.

We're friends.

(chuckles)

Thank you.

But I won't avoid them from now on.

YOONKI: I think it only makes them
bully me more.

But it does feel safe to have friends.

(Eunkang chuckles)

Right. One second.

Guys, when are you guys free?

EUNKANG: Hyunseok wants to buy us dinner.

-DAEIL: Really?
-EUNKANG: Yes.

DAEIL: What's the menu?

-EUNKANG: Probably barbecue.
-I saw a barbecue restaurant over there.

-TAK: What kind of barbecue?
-DAEIL: If it's barbecue, I'm coming.

BUMJU: Beef?

-What's the matter?
-Are you...

close with him?

Did you really have to do that?

I want to ask you the same.

Did you really have to report it?

I didn't.

(scoffs)

If it wasn't you,

who was it?

I don't know.

But I don't think that's important.

You shouldn't have done it
in the first place.

Look. I've seen cheating seniors too.

But I turned a blind eye to it,
so they could get good grades.

If we don't look out for each other,
who would...

That's why...

this happened today.

Because you couldn't then.

If you had admitted your fault
and took responsibility for it,

things wouldn't have come this far.

I want you to take responsibility
for what you did.

Darn it.

JIHOON: Hey, coin.

SEUNGHYUN: I don't have your coins.
Use yours.

What the heck?

What's so surprising?

Are you hanging out here
after being kicked out of school?

(snickers)

Haven't you heard?

We're off the hook.

We got the original video
of the entire situation.

Do you want to know
what's going to happen to you now?

We're taking this
to the police station now.

Then you'll be charged
with assaulting the part-timer,

blackmailing, theft, and...

Plotting to harm someone, falsifying
evidence, and spreading false information.

You'd better be ready.

We came to tell you that.

Right.

(coin clinks)

Enjoy. You won't be
able to play for a while.

TAK: We're leaving.

SEUNGHYUN: Good luck.
And stop making trouble.

What are they talking about?
What's the original video?

-They're bluffing.
-What if they actually have it?

Do you think...

Hyunseok might have given it to them?

That's nonsense.

He's the one who wanted to kick them out.

Maybe he's double-crossing us.

Wait.

-(cellphone beeps)
-(phone line ringing)

-(sighs)
-(phone line ringing continues)

Hi. Are you free to talk?

(chuckles)

It's just that Seunghyun
just came to the arcade

and said things about some video
and a USB flash drive.

But I don't understand
what he's talking about.

JIHOON: Do you happen to know anything?

What are you talking about?

Hyunseok, look.

You can't do this to us.

We'll tell them it was your orders.

Are you threatening me now?

(scoffs)

Who do you think you are?

Buzz off, you little brats.

(yelling)
Hey. Hey!

You think you're our boss or something

because we listen to you? Don't you?

If something happens to us,
you're not safe either!

-Hey! Hey!
-(line beeps)

What did he say?

JIHOON: Hang on a second.

(all gasp)

I left my phone, so...

Let's go.

TAK: Let's go.

HYUK: Hyunseok, I need to check something.

I'll see you
at the honorary committee's office.

(footsteps approaching)

Did Wi Seunghyun...

-say something?
-It wasn't Wi Seunghyun.

It was someone else.

JIHOON (on phone): Actually, we kind of
attacked them first.

HYUNSEOK (on phone): Don't worry.

I only left the part
where you were being beaten.

Anyway, you're victims.

Tell them you won't settle
unless they get expelled.

JIHOON (on phone): What if
they do something against...

HYUNSEOK (on phone): Hey, don't you want
to keep working for our school?

-Hyuk, the thing is...
-The guys...

who posted the video were just here.
They begged for my mercy.

(dramatic music)

It turns out, for the past three years,

the Promotion Corps has been
purchasing materials and souvenirs

from one printing company
and one online store run by these people.

Other schools deal with that company too.

True, but I figured out
our school had been paying extra...

and they've been
sharing the profits with you.

Well... that's used for the corps' dinner.

It's not even much.
I can give it all back.

I'll give it all back. Okay?

Hyuk, you know how hard
I've been working for this school.

You can't do this to me.

Hyuk.

Just this once.
Please let it slide this once.

Please.

HYUK: Hyunseok.

This is the kind of people
we need to arrest later.

People who use their power

for their own benefits
and hinder fair competition.

I want you to make
the honorable choice yourself.

That's the last thing
I can do for you as your colleague,

who has been
spent the most time here with you.

SEONGHYUIN: Hey, what's up?
Why did you call us out?

ARI: Surprise! It's for you.

I'm good.

You have to eat it.
It'll prevent bad luck.

-ARI: Eat up.
-I said I'm good.

(munches)

(chuckles)

-(Ari gasps, cheering)
-(munches)

Congratulations. You're starting over now.

DAEIL: What are you eating alone?
Give me some.

Hey, stop butting in all the time.

Why are you always so mean to me?

We prepared a welcome back party for you.
Come on.

ARI: Hey!

SEUNGHYUN: Let's go.

(girls laughing in distance)

(Eunkang exclaims)

What great weather.

This is the college life
I've been dreaming of.

Hey, Eunkang.
Did you stop seeing that guy?

You haven't spoken about him lately.

-They broke up.
-JUYOUNG: When?

Oh, come on.
We weren't even in a relationship.

ARI: Right. There was no physical contact,
so we can't call it a relationship.

Anyway, congratulations
on being single again!

This girl. She's only happy
that you're single.

DAEIL: Hey, Ari.

How are things
at the Promotion Corps these days?

Not good, obviously.
We all know we can't fully trust others,

but who would've thought
Hyunseok would do something like that.

(Daeil sighs)

He left school,
so everything's good now, right?

JUYOUNG: You can't make everything
good again by running away.

Everyone knows he got bribes
from the company.

He won't even be able
to show up at reunions.

BUMJU: I heard there was more.

(munching)

Well, I heard he's been cheating
on every exam he took.

He somehow managed to do it
without getting caught,

but this time, someone caught him.
I heard there was a tip-off about it.

-EUNKANG: What?
-DAEIL: Really?

-JUYOUNG: Who did that?
-BUMJU: I don't know.

(suspenseful music)

THURSDAY

EXAM: ANALYSIS OF COLD CASES

(suspenseful music continues)

(munches)

When did you break up with the art guy?

What?

Ahh...

Well...
(chuckles)

BLIND DATE GUY: Eunkang.

I don't think we're a good match.
I'm sorry.

I wasn't dumped, though.

I also thought we weren't a good match.

Ah...

That was the only time
we had a date alone.

We didn't do anything else together.

And I never contacted him first.

(chuckles)

(dreamy music)

You talk as if you were cheating.
(chuckles)

Why are you making excuses?

(laughs)
Well...

EUNKANG: I just don't want
any misunderstandings.

I don't want others to think
I dated him when I wasn't.

That's why.

Okay.
(chuckles)

Hey, when will you buy me dinner?

-Dinner?
-I saved your life.

-Because I was an excellent sniper.
-You call that excellent?

(gunshot)

(gunshot)

(gunshots)

(gunshots)

(gun cocks)

(gunshots)

(machine whirring)

KNPU INDOOR SHOOTING RANGE

(chuckles)

EUNKANG: It's my first time
using real bullets.

(exclaims)

Let's do it again.

This time, I'll show you for real.

(machine whirring)

(gun clacking)

(gun clacking)

(emotive music)

Close your left eye.

Use your right eye

to align the sights.

Stop breathing.

(heart pound)

EUNKANG: What's going on?
I actually can't breathe.

Then aim at the center of the target.

(gunshot)

(bullet whooshes)

(gasps)
Yes!

(heart pounding)

(closing theme music)
