Who are you?

Is it because of that kid?

Answer me!

What the hell is the reason?

(grunting)

(tense music)

If you're going to kill me,

do it already.

OFFICER 1: We found him!

(men clamoring)

REPORTER 1: Tell us!

-OFFICER 2: We're searching right now!
-REPORTER 2: What is the case?

REPORTER 3: Share it with us!

-OFFICER 3: Stop the reporters!
-REPORTER 3: Let's work on it together!

-Hurry and stop the reporters!
-No more, you can't!

(murmuring in distance)

(somber music)

HAN SEYOUNG

Was there a...

knife found here?

(camera shutter clicks)

(suspenseful music)

(blades clinking)

TAEKROK: The murder weapon
had been buried with the kid.

We've been looking for it everywhere...

If we hadn't stopped, then...

OFFICER 4: Hey, stop,
you can't come up here!

MYUNGHEE: Let go!

Let go of me!

-OFFICER 5: Take her down.
-OFFICER 6: Let's head down.

You can't be here.

MYUNGHEE: Let go of me!

-Detective Lee.
-SUNGA: Yes?

-MYUNGHEE: Let go of me.
-OFFICER 7: Calm down.

-Go ahead and take her down.
-SUNGA: Yes, okay.

-We'll talk as we go down.
-Hurry, take her!

-SUNGA: Ma'am, calm down.
-Seyoung...

-Ma'am.
-We'll talk as we go down.

-Do you recognize me?
-How could I forget you?

-SUNGA: Calm down. Ma'am.
-MYUNGHEE: Who is it?

-Is it my daughter?
-Calm...

Who is it?

We found Seyoung's name tag.

SUNGA: Are you okay? Ma'am.

(breathes shakily)

MYUNGHEE: I must be crazy.

I can't cry even though I want to.

My daughter's been in the ground
for ten years,

and I just found her.

My daughter...

Where was she?

Above...

the stone tower.

Above the stone tower?

I've dug there before.

(grunting)

(whimpering)

(sobs)

Seyoung.

Where are you, my Seyoung?

MYUNGHEE: That winter...

I couldn't dig any further,
because the ground was too frozen...

back then.

If I'd just dug a little more.

If I did,
I would have found my daughter...

Just because my hand was hurting a bit,

I gave up.

(sobbing)

There was...

fabrication of evidence.

I did it.

To catch that scumbag Choi Kyoil.

If I hadn't fabricated evidence back then,

your daughter...

could have been found sooner.

So, is that why she was only just found?

I didn't...

realize.

I'm sorry.

-If you want, I'll--
-The scumbag.

The scumbag that killed my daughter.

Is he still alive?

He is...

dying.

(sniffles)

(Myunghee breathes shakily)

(melancholic music)

Hello.

Team Leader Bae.

Hey, Detective Kim.

-(car door shuts)
-(engine starts)

GEUMO POLICE STATION

JINHAN (murmurs): Passed at 8:37 p.m.
Okay, right here...

(Jinhan murmuring)

...at 11 p.m. the taxi would make
the movement in the middle...

What's odd is that he was absent
without notice for three days.

Fought with the victim
at 10:00 p.m. on the 15th.

Okay, so...

-JINHAN: I...
-What?

...was born with a gift.

The gift of work.

As soon as I got here,
a case from ten years ago pops up again.

And now, I'm investigating a case
where a detective killed his colleague.

JINHAN: I am naturally gifted.

Jealous?

-It's because of you, man.
-Me?

Yes, you arrived,
and now, our station is in this mess.

Chief Kook came here, too.

HAN: Right, that's what I mean.

So, since the two of you arrived,
things are a bit more...

Well...

Did you look into what I asked?

-What are you referring to?
-Section Chief Woo's case.

HAN: That...

Well, not yet.

Please check the chief's phone records
from the last month.

-It'd be difficult for you, Detective Han?
-Not exactly, but...

Okay, then, me and Detective Son,
the two of us will do it.

We're both outsiders blessed
with the gift of work.

Yes, sir.

Detective Lee, does the suspect
seem like a suspect to you?

Are you wavering?

Yes, to be honest.

The suspect seems so much like a suspect
that he doesn't seem like the suspect.

It's all circumstantial.
There's no evidence or motive.

Now I'm thinking that maybe
we should approach this differently.

It's a peculiar case.

That was unexpected.

How you changed your mind in a day.

Maybe because even Chief Kook
can tell what's not right.

You two keep tracking the suspect
and report back to me.

I'll look into the victim's materials.

Sir, shouldn't you be heading out
to the crime scene?

JINHAN: Yes.

POW!

BOOM

FLASH

(banging on door)

How many times do I have to tell you
to ring the doorbell when you visit?

Give me some medicine.

THE THEORY OF ECONOMICS
PRINCIPLES OF SURGERY

CRIMINOLOGY
THEORY OF WOMEN'S CRIMES

(pills rattling)

Sedatives...

Where did I put the sedatives...

KYOIL: You have nothing to be
ashamed about? For the last 30 years...

You fabricated it.

TAEKROK: There was fabrication
of evidence. I did it.

I can forgive neither the scumbag who
killed my daughter nor you, the police.

(Seyoung screams)

NO CALLER ID
NEW MESSAGE

MURDERER

REMAINS OF A FEMALE STUDENT
FOUND AT GEUMOSAN MOUNTAIN

GEUMO POLICE COMMISSIONER SEO GWANGSU

REPORTER 4: The police have found
another victim after ten years

of relentless pursuit and hard work.

The remains
are currently being recovered...

(cell phone buzzes)

NO CALLER ID

-Why did you keep me alive?
-MALE VOICE: Why didn't you die?

I can't die before I catch you.

MALE VOICE: So did you find some evidence
to catch me?

Thanks to you.

MALE VOICE: What could it be? I'm curious.

TAEKROK: Why, are you scared?

You're not going to run away, are you?

MALE VOICE: No, things just got
even more interesting.

It's just what I wanted.

Who fabricated the evidence?

(breathes deeply)

Me.

I did it.

MALE VOICE: You saw what you did, right?

You should be ashamed.

You knew everything?

MALE VOICE: Of course,
I have a lot of people helping me.

From now on, I'll show you exactly
how many sins you have committed.

If I hadn't done it, we wouldn't
have been able to catch Choi Kyoil.

MALE VOICE: How come you're so dignified?

You're even more shameless than I thought.

Do you not feel sorry for the kid?

Not guilty at all?

You should be thanking me.
You found her because of me.

Listen carefully.
I'm not your enemy, I'm your partner.

Now, we're going to do
a joint investigation.

What?

MALE VOICE: The wrongdoings that
you're unaware of will be exposed.

Why did you kill Woo Hyunseok?

MALE VOICE: You're the one
who let him be this whole time.

You knew he was corrupted.

You knew, but you kept
telling yourself to put it off.

That's how this whole thing happened.

I'm the one who got blood
on my hands. Be grateful.

Hyunseok didn't commit any crime
to deserve death.

MALE VOICE: Don't assume
you know everything.

You didn't know
the girl was buried with the knife.

Anyway, listen to me
if you want to catch me.

You have no other options.

I've always created options for myself,
on my own.

It'll be the same for you.

MALE VOICE: Everyone is bound
to shoot themselves in the foot.

It was a long day.

Get some rest.

(sighs)

(tense music)

(sighs)

STOP, IDIOT!
THE COPS ARE SWARMING OVER THERE!

WHO IS IT? WHO TOLD YOU THAT I'M HERE?

EVERYONE IS BOUND TO SHOOT THEMSELVES
IN THE FOOT IN THEIR LIVES

MALE VOICE: Everyone is bound
to shoot themselves in the foot.

(tense music)

Give me your phone.

-Why?
-Why?

Are you hiding anything?

Passcode.

You didn't call?

Would you answer if I did?

What's this?

Are you getting mad at me
because there aren't enough views?

-You wrote this line?
-Of course.

-Someone says it often.
-Who?

Who is it?

Don't you remember?

It's something you say often.

Me?

You say it every time you come to therapy.

"Everyone is bound
to shoot themselves in the foot."

(scoffs)
It's so lame.

What's this? Why did you take this?

So I can refer to it when I draw. Look.

HYESEONG: Like this.

Talk to me.

Wasn't the wedding today?

Why do you look like that?

What on earth is going on?

It's nothing.

Forget it.

I've been meaning to say this.

You need a thorough examination.

-I'm fine.
-No, you're not fine.

Look in the mirror.

I told you

that you were born more sensitive to guilt
compared to others.

Police work doesn't fit you.

It's shocking
that you lasted over 30 years.

You've reached your limit now.

(somber music)

MALE VOICE: Listen carefully.
I'm not your enemy, I'm your partner.

Now, we're going to do
a joint investigation.

Your wrongdoings that you're unaware of
are going to be exposed.

GWANGSU: Catch the murderer. One week.
I can't give you any more than that.

(sighs)

(suspenseful music)

(exhales deeply)

All right.

Let's see how far I can get.

"As a police officer, it is important
to take responsibility until the end."

"The scientific aspect
of an investigation is important,

but the will of an investigator
is the most important of all."

MEN: Oh.

"I wish to work for and be
among the citizens even after retirement."

-This is a declaration of candidacy.
-(laughter)

Is there anything you want to be edited?

Gosh, it's so well written.

Don't mention it.

It's a bit unfortunate,
but the high school girl was found

just in time to raise
the chief's profile, right?

(laughs)

The timing is impeccable.

By the way, who found her?

(clears throat)

Detective Kim Taekrok.

Gosh, of all people.
(clicks tongue)

And how's the investigation of
Section Chief Woo's incident coming along?

Accident, not incident.

That's a relief. If it was an incident,
I'd feel a bit uneasy.

Don't you all agree?
What if something happens?

What could happen?

Not trying to speak ill of the dead,

but Section Chief Woo did have a tendency
to treat us a bit recklessly...

(clears throat)

By the way, the new Chief Investigation
Officer seems very enthusiastic.

There's no need to be concerned.

Why would I be concerned?
(laughs)

I just think it may cause
a disruption in the neighborhood.

Excuse me. Councilman,
about the redevelopment issue...

Outside companies keep getting mentioned.

As if they have someone backing them up...

What's there to worry about
when we have the chief?

Mr. Shin, have some faith, okay?

Of course, I have faith in the chief.

(men laugh)

-Let's all have a drink.
-Cheers.

Cheers, yes.

(suspenseful music)

The number is not what's important,
the location is.

What, do you think
getting the caller ID is easy?

Tell me what's going on.

Check the location when it goes through.

Okay, take care of yourself.

What's gotten into him?

(cell phone buzzing)

MALE VOICE: Did you rest well, friend?

-We should resume.
-Don't call me friend.

What am I supposed to do now?

MALE VOICE: He should be as frustrated
as you are right now.

-Who?
-MALE VOICE: Yang Kitae.

There's a real culprit
in the overpass arson case. Find him.

I've been framed. That was all staged.

You ignored it when it was me
who fabricated evidence.

Let's say there's a real culprit
in the Yang Kitae case.

-Is that what you're really after?
-You have until tomorrow, friend.

You'd better hurry.

GU DONGBUM

(line rings)

-DONGBUM: Yes, hello.
-Do you have it?

This one's a pro. It's a cloned phone.

-So where is it?
-Jamsil Tower in Seoul.

But you won't be able to catch
a pro like this one,

so why don't you just give up?

You're an amateur, man.

You always go on
about how much of a pro you are.

Hey, didn't you say you were
at the top of the NFS?

Well, I'm no amateur. If set my mind
to it, of course, I can catch him. Easy.

Forget it.

Just find Mr. Cheon. Discreetly.

Why would I? Do you think
I have nothing else to do?

I'll take out the deposit.

Gosh, this darn old grump...

CREATE NEW CONTACT

MAKE IT TO THE END...

FRIEND

(door opens)

GONG: Darn it.

TAEKROK: Darn it?

-Hey, is Yang Kitae here?
-GONG: What are you doing?

Detective!

-(door closes)
-Darn it.

Yang Kitae, open up.

I'm coming in.

(door creaks)

(door creaks)

(dog barking in distance)

(light clicks)

(suspenseful music)

What the hell?

AN JUYONG, AN HYUNGWOO'S SON

SHIN SEUNGHYUN, SHIN SUNGHAN'S SON

WOO HYUNSEOK

What is all this?

Why is that punk getting up?

-Hey.
-Yes?

Leave him.

(knocks on door)

Okay.

This way. Yes, right here.

You can raise your head.

Is that the guy?

HYUNSEOK: It's him, right?

All right, take him outside.

-Hey, send him away.
-Yes, sir.

-Let's go.
-KITAE: It wasn't me.

OFFICER 5: Be quiet.

Are you sure?

-You saw it. The victim nodded at him.
-It wasn't me!

-KITAE: Detective, it wasn't me.
-OFFICER 5: Be quiet.

-Come on, quickly.
-KITAE: It really wasn't me!

Detective, it's not me.
I was following the culprit.

Your phone number was tracked
to the scene of the crime.

I was just passing through!

-Hey, be quiet. Hey!
-KITAE: It really wasn't me.

I saw the real culprit, Detective.

-Who's the real culprit?
-Darn it!

Please help me, Detective!

(keys jangling)

(lock clicking)

(suspenseful music)

Gong!

(groaning)

-Don't kill me.
-Who said anything about killing you?

Manager Gong, you idiot!

(groans)

Hello, sir. I would like to quit.

What...

Did you kill him?

I won't be fooled twice.

You frame me again, and I'll kill myself!

(grumbles)

(panting)

Have some respect with your words.

(thuds)

What's all this?

I met him.

Who?

Section Chief Woo.

When?

A few days before he died.

Why?

(tense music)

KITAE: Prove my innocence.

Or else I'm going to find the darn victim
and make sure all of you get punished.

(sighs)

Do it.

You think I'm the only one who'll die?

-Are you threatening me?
-No, you're the one threatening me.

You keep messing around like this,

and there are plenty
who'd kill you instead of me.

I'll go to Detective Kim Taekrok.

With the evidence I've collected.

(honking)

Hey.

Behave.

And I'll take care of you.

How?

I'll make up for you rotting in prison
for five years.

Aren't you doing this for money, anyway?

What are you going to do
if you win the retrial?

It's only a few hundred million won
for ten years.

Wait.

Until I reach out.

HYUSEOK: Got it?

Do you still think
I'm being stubborn for no reason?

That day after meeting with him,
I thought about it and moved in here,

because I got nervous.

-Nervous?
-Section Chief Woo...

I was afraid of him.

Stop acting, punk.

(sighs)

Did you see the victim's face?

Just for a second.

-(laughs)
-What are you doing?

KITAE: What's that? Hey!

(snickering)

What? Hey!

(men shouting)

Hey, you punk. Stop. Hey!

Hey, stop right there, you idiot!

Hey, you punk!

Hey!

Hey!

KITAE: I chased him until I lost him.

I reported it to the police,
and Section Chief Woo framed me for it!

This scumbag gave a false statement
for money. You know all this.

I've searched every nook and cranny
looking for him.

I just have to find him.

He definitely saw the culprit's face.

Hey.

Why don't you just apply
for a retrial with the recording?

What about the attorney fee? And how much
would the compensation really be?

The trial will take years,
and they'll be wasting my time.

I'm going to catch the real culprit
and get a settlement.

Section Chief Woo said
he'd take care of it, but he died...

What did he look like?

Though I didn't get a good look,
because it was dark...

I'm sure he's around my age.

If I hadn't been drinking,
I would've caught him.

I didn't see the license plate,

but in this neighborhood, these guys
are the only ones who can afford to drive

expensive cars like that.

Please help me.

I'll give you a cut of the settlement.

You'd better keep your word.

Really?

You think I want...

to live here at this age?

-Seven to three.
-Who's the seven?

-TAEKROK: Me.
-What the...

-Two to eight, and I'm eight.
-Then I'm not doing this.

Three to seven!

Six to four, end of discussion!

AN JUYONG

KITAE: Gosh, you're a mobster.

An absolute mobster.

SHIN SEUNGHYUN

But you have to stay put
till I catch the real culprit. Understand?

-Until when?
-Tomorrow.

-That fast?
-Leave your phone on.

-I won't do anything while I wait.
-Nothing at all.

Okay? Otherwise, I'm not helping you.

I won't step a foot outside this room.

Wipe your nosebleed.

Manager Gong, you idiot!

Seo Gwangsu...

You should get medical treatment here.

Take this and...

MAN 1: Thank you.

(indistinct chatter)

(groans)

TAEKROK: Most of them are the children
of the town leaders.

It's one of them.

MAN 2: Oh, Director!

-Yes, hello.
-Yes.

You do all the hard work around here.

-I appreciate it.
-Yes.

(suspenseful music)

Detective, it's not me.
I was following the culprit.

-Help me, please.
-TAEKROK: Are you sure?

You saw it, too, the victim nodded at him.

(sighs)

(engine sputters)

What's going on?

(birds chirping)

(panting)

CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER'S OFFICE

What is it?

What?

Did you stay up all night?

I'm almost done reading them.
There's nothing much.

-(Sunga clears throat)
-(cell phone buzzing)

TAEKROK

Hello.

TAEKROK: Hey,
are you with the Brave Citizen?

Yes.

Wait, how does he feel about me?

SUNGA: He definitely
doesn't feel good about you.

No, I mean, does he still think
I'm the suspect?

I think he's looking at things
from a different perspective.

Really?

Then put him on the phone.

What?

SUNGA: Mr. Kook.

-Who is it?
-The suspect.

Is he ready to confess?

Hello?

Hey...
(clears throat)

Let me use your people. It's urgent.

For what?

Catching a culprit.

I can't really get into much detail.

TAEKROK: Let me. Come on.

(sighs)

-Well...
-TAEKROK: No?

Hey, I only need them for a day.

Why? You should ask Chief Seo.

TAEKROK: Can I or can't I?

Okay, but...

explain to me why some other time.

Can't make any promises.
Put Sunga back on.

Yes?

First, do a background check on the victim
of the 2017 overpass arson case.

And I will text you the rest.
Look into that for me.

SUNGA: All right.

Hey, don't report to the chief.

(line beeps)

-What does he want?
-He requested case materials.

The overpass arson case
from five years ago.

GEUMO POLICE STATION

Who put him in your cab?

Not sure.

I received a call in the middle
of the night. From a hiking trail.

Yes, welcome.

Oh, dear.

Okay.

But how am I supposed to drive
a drunk person alone...

Hey...

NOEUL GOSIWON

DRIVER: So I took him there.

(clicks tongue)

-Good job. Let me walk you out.
-Sure.

(ominous music)

Would you take a look at this?

Maybe Detective Kim really was framed?

The way I see it, the guy
in the hiking gear is more suspicious.

He could be an accomplice.

HAN: Oh, right.

He could be the real culprit.

I'll track the hiker.

You keep looking into the chief
and his surroundings.

-Sure, all right.
-Discreetly, okay?

Discreetly? Like, just between
the two of us...

By the way, the term "we" is--

We should go fishing soon.

Then should I look into a fishing spot?

I'll be outside.

(tense music)

Is he an accomplice or the culprit?

Hmm...

Interesting.

-If you look here, Mr. Sim Sangbong...
-Have you seen Mr. Sim Sangbong?

-Mr. Sim Sangbong, if you happen to see...
-Have you seen this person?

-If you do, could you call us...
-If you see someone that looks like him,

-let us know.
-Have you seen this person?

-I don't know!
-Give me this, not that.

What is this?

If you maybe remember him, give us a call.
Or if you see him in the future...

-MAN 3: So annoying.
-Gosh.

SUNGA: His name is Sim Sangbong,
and he has scars on his face.

Could you look at it just once?

(sighs)

If you happen to see him,
you can reach me at this number.

MISSING PERSON
NAME: SIM SANGBONG

This is driving me nuts.

(sighs)

I'm so close to losing my mind.

I mean, why do we have
to find this person?

-I asked him that, too.
-What did he say?

I don't know.
He says it's better not to know.

(sighs)

Anyway, we can't find him like this.

KYUNGCHAN: We're offering a one-month
free pass to a luxury sauna

to whoever can tell us
where we can find Mr. Sim Sangbong.

This is Mr. Sim Sangbong.

You're looking for Sim?

-What? You know him?
-Of course, I do.

The old man with a burn on his face.

Yes, that's him. Where is he right now?

Well, the thing is...

(man sucks teeth)

WHO IS THIS REDEVELOPMENT FOR?

GEUMO REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

The neighborhood is unsettled.

Still, the people who have lived
here forever are very happy,

because the land
and housing prices went up.

If I had known, I would have taken out
a loan to buy a house here.

It's a world where the haves
are the only ones who prosper.

Detective Han, you're from here, too,
aren't you?

Yes. We have our local characteristics.

People like us just feed off
of whatever crumbs are left.

The cake is eaten by the town leaders
before it can even reach us.

The Chief, too?

Of course. Geumo actually revolves
around the Chief.

The Chief is like its sun.

As long as the Chief is here,
his confidants are untouchable.

Nobody can lay a hand on them.

-(Han exclaims)
-(brakes squeals)

Gosh, that startled me.

Are you okay?

Did you look
into the Chief's surroundings?

Yes, just a moment. Here it is.

POLICE FIND ADDITIONAL VICTIM
AFTER PERSISTENT PURSUIT

HAN: Why would he jump out like that?

I think this case just secured
the Chief's future as a city councilor.

REPRESENTATIVE: "I wish to work for and be
among the citizens even after retirement."

This is a declaration of candidacy.

(men laugh)

The new Chief Investigation
Officer seems very enthusiastic.

There's no need to be concerned.

Why would I be concerned?

CONGRESSMAN: I just think it may cause
a disturbance in the neighborhood.

Things that don't seem
connected to each other

are all proving to be
advantageous to the Chief.

What do you mean?

DONGBUM: Listen carefully.

Chief Seo's son, Seo Yoonjae, had
his phone off at the time of the incident.

The hospital director's son, An Juyong,
seems to have been home.

Representative Joo's son, Joo Jungwoo,
and Councilman's son, Park Sooho.

They didn't have domestic phones
at the time.

Those two were
studying overseas back then.

Please, I'm talking.

Go ahead, then.

Kang Hyunwoo and Hwang Inho.
They were at Geojedo,

and President Shin's son was in Seoul.

Then...

That means Chief Seo's son
and the hospital director's son

were in Geumo on the day of the incident.

That's the case only when the cell phones
were under their own names.

If their cell phones were
under borrowed names,

it'll take some time
to track them all separately.

TAEKROK: There's a high chance
that one of the two is the real culprit.

Now all we have to do is confront Sim.

And we'll be able
to arrest the real culprit.

Will I be able to find a clue
about Friend with the real culprit?

And Friend's ulterior motive?

By the way, Mr. Cheon
covered his tracks really well.

He must have gone overseas.

There are no travel records.

Then he definitely smuggled himself.

What for?

You know how a lot of people
want him dead.

FRIEND: I have a lot of people helping me.

TAEKROK: Is he bluffing?
Or is he being serious?

(cell phone buzzing)

Yeah. Did you find him?

SUNGA: Yes. We did find him, but...

Where is he now?

He died three days ago.

What? He's dead?

SUNGA: Yes, he died of a disease.

We just checked with the hospital.

He didn't get his disease treated on time.

Hey. Are you sure it's Sim Sangbong?

Yes. We confirmed the burn scars
that were on the case file.

TAEKROK: Now there's no way to confirm
the real culprit's face.

-SUNGA: Taekrok.
-Yes, speak.

Should I make a request for an autopsy?

-Yes, hand it over.
-SUNGA: Okay.

Something didn't work out?

Hey... What is it? That...

Voice modulation. Let's do that.

Voice modulation is a thing of the past.
We do voice synthesis now.

Synthesis?

SUNGA, OLD BETTER HALF, FRIEND

FRIEND

AUTOMATED VOICE:
This phone is currently turned off.

We'll redirect you to voice mail.
Please record a message after...

(sighs)

(cell phone buzzing)

FRIEND

-FRIEND: Did you find him?
-(exhales deeply)

Do you take good care of yourself?

FRIEND: I'll take that as a no.

Then you should be punished.

-What kind of game are you playing now?
-FRIEND: Come up to the roof.

-What happens if I do?
-FRIEND: Let's meet.

Don't mess with me.

FRIEND: Hurry up.

(ominous music)

(dog barking)

(ominous music continues)

What do you want me to do?

FRIEND: What's the most valuable thing
to you?

What could be inside?

Tell me.

What is the most valuable thing to you?

NOEUL GOSIWON ROOF

Are you scared?

-(chain clinks)
-(dog barks)

Everyone thinks of themselves
as most valuable.

Why aren't you answering me?

Let's be honest with each other
from now on.

You have until tomorrow to catch
the real culprit. I can't wait any longer.

(line beeps)

(ominous music)

(cell phone beeps)

(dog barking)

DON'T WORRY. NO POISON

(burps)

TAEKROK: Friend is a blackmailer
and a collaborator.

How does he know about me?

What does he want?

What would our end look like?

There is no beginning without an end.

He started this,

but I'll finish it.

-(sighs)
-(knocking on wall)

KITAE: Detective.

Detective.

-Did you eat yet?
-Did you find him?

I will, soon.

When?

TAEKROK: Don't whine, kid.

Hey, you worked under Cheon Kiduk, right?

Yes.

When was the last time you saw him?

KITAE: When I was put in jail.

He came to visit.

Why?

I complained about having been framed.

And he said he'd help me,

but he was gone when I was released.

You haven't heard from him since?

No. Why are you suddenly asking
about Mr. Cheon?

Call me if he reaches out.

-KITAE: By the way, Detective.
-What?

You really didn't know?

TAEKROK: About what?

That I was innocent?

(banging on wall)

NEIGHBOR:
I'm trying to get some sleep here!
