ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS,

ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

ENTRANCE

("Fire" by Kihyun playing)

Guys! I'm here to turn myself in!

Why that darn...

But it's one plus one.

YOUNGSOO: Hey!

What are you doing?

You guys were slacking off,
so I caught the real culprit myself.

- The real culprit?
- The real culprit?

Let's go inside and interrogate him first.

- Come on.
- Darn it.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

SEOL: Anna, wait.

Maybe this information will help you
determine who the culprit is.

I'm listening.

It's something that's only spotted
among those at the scene of a fire.

CODE BLUE: MEDICAL EMERGENCY CODE ISSUED
IN CASE OF A HEART ATTACK

(sighs)

(door opens)

All right.

YOUNGSOO: Mr. Ko Dooman.

Did you murder Bang Pilgu
and set the diner on fire?

We found your shoe print
at the crime scene.

What?

(laughs)

There's nothing more thrilling
than playing with fire.

I'm sure you had a reason.

Did someone tell you to do it?

How about you feed me first?

I'd like some bulgogi hot pot.

Answer us if you want to have any food.

I should eat before racking my brain.

You little bastard.

Ko Dooman, we're not joking around. Focus!

Don't try too hard to get his confession.

This is for saving my life.

Let me take a look.

What?

When you pour flammable agents
in a small room and ignite them,

the oil mist explode

and thus burn your hair as well.

(tense music)

What? What's the matter?

This can't be.

What's the matter?

There are no traces of his hair
or his scalp getting burned.

(suspenseful music)

Make sure you trample all over him,
so he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Goodbye, then.

STATEMENT RECORDING ROOM 2

Can I borrow that for a minute?

Let me take a look at your hair,
Mr. Jin Hogae.

SANGGU: Were you looking for this?

(Dooman snickers)

DOOMAN: I was expecting a free meal.

I guess I won't be getting
a meal after all.

Bummer.

SANGGU: Jin Hogae.

Considering how you even escaped prison,

you'll be behind bars for a long time.

(fingers snap)

Right.

Apparently, Cho Doochil
is waiting for you back in prison.

(tense music)

If you murderers want to do a knife fight,

do it properly.

I hope I'm not too late.

I found something, too.

What do you mean?
We never requested anything.

We don't need her help.

Then should I just leave?

No.

You came all the way here.

We should hear what the NFS has to say.

What? You found nothing
in that homeless man's hair?

(sighs)

I'm telling you.

This isn't right.

Our mutt... No, that Jindo Dog.

I should save him.

HONG: We found EDTA
in Detective Jin's blood

from the crime scene.

EDTA? What is that?

EDTA: ANTICOAGULANT
IN A BLOOD TEST

You're familiar with these vials, right?

HONG: Hospitals use this
when collecting blood, and EDTA is inside.

EDTA is an anticoagulant that combines
with calcium ions to stop coagulation.

It's to prevent the collected blood

from coagulating prior to blood tests.

Detective Jin Hogae, weren't you
at the emergency center not too long ago?

Well, I frequent the emergency center
since I'm always chasing after suspects.

They also drew your blood.

HOGAE: Yes, a bucketful.

HONG: That's when the EDTA
was mixed with his blood.

That was his blood
that you found at the crime scene.

Once the blood test is done, the blood is
considered medical waste and disposed of.

Come on. Why would his blood
from the hospital end up at the scene?

How are you that dense?
Someone planted it there on purpose.

Who?

The real culprit, of course.

And you all got played.

The bloodstains and evidence
were all fabricated.

What about your hair?
You burned it while setting the fire.

SEOL: That's not true.

It was when he was apprehending a culprit.

(both grunting)

I witnessed everything.

This is how you cooperate.

Look. We also found his footprints.

K1-905. Those police shoes?

We have loads of them at the office.

Someone is out to get our mutt... No.

PIL: Our Jindo Dog... No.
What was your name again?

Someone must've stolen them
to blame it all on Detective Jin Hogae.

I'm going to catch that rat at all costs
even if it means I'll have to check

every single person
who entered the evidence storage.

That's what we do.

Good, Myeongpil. That's it.

Thank you.

Jin Hogae, then why in the world
were you at the crime scene that day?

Be quiet!

Hey. That's related to an investigation.

(Mr. Baek snickers)

Oh, dear. I'm afraid
all your evidence is no longer valid.

I'm sorry you had to come all the way
and leave empty-handed.

(Mr. Baek snickers)

(upbeat music)

Yes, go.

Uncuff me.

HOGAE: Use better cuffs from now on.
These hurt a lot.

(handcuffs clinking)

(groans)

Next time, follow the procedure
when making a request.

Don't do it aggressively.

Next time, come more quickly.
I thought I was going behind bars again.

Our toxicology department was too busy

analyzing up to seven digits
of micromolecules using TOF.

I have no clue what you're saying.

Should I be aggressive again next time?

Please examine my blood in more detail.

(scoffs)

No, thanks.

Normally, our heart is as big as our fist.

An adult male's heart weighs
about 400 grams on average.

But I bet yours weighs more than that.

You're quite the bold one.

In that case, I bet all of my organs
are bigger than average.

(chuckles)

Then let me politely make another request.

- Again?
- We should catch the real culprit.

Gosh, what's wrong with my body?
Should I get this checked out?

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay. It really hurts.

- Let me take a look.
- Okay.

Thankfully, your organs are fine.
You were lucky.

You should rest for the night.

She got you a hospital room.

The investigation is still ongoing.

This guy...

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Take care of yourself.
- I will.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Here you go.

What is this?

(plastic rustling)

You little... Are you serious?

HOGAE: You should've brought me
clothes instead.

I'm glad you bought that.
Eat it if you don't want bad luck.

(chomps)

(sighs)
How should we bring Ma Taehwa down?

We ought to rip him into shreds.

I'm sure he didn't do it himself.

We should chase after the tail.

After that, we can go after the head.

Do you think this will help?

MECO ENVIRONMENT COMPANY REPORT

PIL: Meco Environment is the company

that gets rid of
Taewon General Hospital's medical waste.

Hey. See?

You can be good if you try, you punk.

You have my respect now, Detective Kong.

He must not have wanted to get bitten
by Jindo Dog.

- (imitates dog snarling)
- Aah!

PIL: Finish that, or you'll end up
behind bars again.

- Let's go.
- PIL: Yes.

MR. BAEK: Wait. Right now?

I'm going, too.

(elevator dings)

(breathes deeply)

You really don't listen to your doctor.

This was just a minor cut.

Finish that.

HOGAE: By the way...

I know it's a bit cheesy
to thank you again.

Then don't thank me.

(scoffs)

Go to work on time, work hard,

and come back home in one piece.
Just keep those things.

You must've been bored
since I had been away.

Not at all. You're just like
a pet dog who hasn't come home yet.

Am I your pet? That's harsh.

(scoffs)

You're acting out again.

Do you know why I'm cut out to be a cop?

I'm not good at helping others,
but excellent at doing the opposite.

That's why I have dealt
with criminals all my life.

So that when they end up behind bars,

I'll make sure they hit rock bottom.

Then stay away from stocks,

because they'll hit rock bottom, too.

So don't think about keeping me as a pet.

I'll only bring you down.

Look.

Does it make your life easier
if you act cold toward others?

You're always so confident
and obnoxiously shameless.

You push others away
to hide your feelings,

stay out of the spotlight,
and not get involved.

- Your words hit home...
- (plastic rustling)

Aah! Aah!

What's the matter? Did it burst open?

Let me take a look.

Did your wound open up?

- Aah.
- (elevator dings)

Hi, Dojin.

- (plastic rustles)
- Eat it.

(sighs)
Tofu makes me want to hurl right now.

Mmm.

This is what you should give
to someone who just got out of jail.

With a ton of meat.

Can I have one more sandwich
with double the meat?

WOMAN: Sure.

Mmm.

Do you know how hard Dojin worked
to examine the fire?

Bulldozer, I'm touched.

Don't overreact. I was just cooperating.

Did you find the cause of the fire?

Not yet. I'm going to run
one last simulation tomorrow.

What? I don't think he worked hard.

Then what did you do?

I sacrificed my body.

That's true. You should get some rest.

Once I'm done, I'll get you a lead
on that arsonist.

Who's resting?
An investigation is all about speed.

HOGAE: You go rest.

I'll catch the culprit
and ask them why they set the fire.

You just need
to write that in your report.

(upbeat music)

Are you challenging me?

Forget it.

Well, maybe I am.

KID 1: Dad, let's go home.

KID 2: Are you here
to catch crawfish, too?

I'm here to catch a culprit.

KID 3: I found one.
Is this a crawfish, Dad?

KID 1: Dad.

It says that this is where
Meco Environment's HQ is located.

Hey, an investigation is all about speed.
Do your job properly.

HOGAE: You see any company buildings
around here?

I have a hole in my stomach, you know?

Let's go! There are snakes here.

Watch out for snakes, guys.

TAEWON GENERAL HOSPITAL

We went through the hassle

of finding a new company
after that one fell through.

The dump site has cameras, right?

No, there isn't. As if someone
would steal medical waste?

- Let's go. Okay, then.
- PIL: Bye.

This tail is a dead end. He cut it off.

What should we do now?

What do you think?
He must have more than one tail.

What is he? A nine-tailed fox?
(chuckles)

(both sigh)

PROBA MORTEM
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

The Trace Evidence Team
spent all night analyzing this.

Look. This string was found
on Mr. Bang Pilgu's neck.

And this string was found
on the floor of the crime scene.

(clicks tongue)
Aren't they the same?

You just wanted me to rot in prison,
didn't you?

You can say that again.

HONG: This one has fluorescent material
on it, while this one doesn't.

The murder weapon was a rope made
from a fiber called F/R P-16

from a company named White.

This special fiber is used
when making car seats.

And it has a distinct feature.

In case of a fire,
all fibers inside a vehicle

use top-notch heat-resistant materials
that passed the FMVSS 302 test.

They're heat-resistant?

That's why it was still there
while the body had carbonized completely.

But here's where
it gets really interesting.

This is the string that was found
at the crime scene.

HONG: It's a mixture
of cotton and polyester.

But such materials are easily flammable.

The cotton burns completely

and helps the polyester to melt.

(sighs)
So this one is easily combustible.

They have the opposite characteristics
when it comes to fire.

It couldn't be a coincidence, right?

Any coincidences at a crime scene
are planned.

(inhales deeply)

Why did they need two strings
of contrasting characteristics?

That would be the smoking gun.

SMOKING GUN: INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE
FOR A CRIMINAL CASE

Darn it. I'm going to lose face.

Why?

I'll have to ask
the firefighters for help. Darn it.

- DOJIN: Clear the area.
- FIREMEN: Clear.

(thrilling music)

DOJIN: Setting fire.

The initial height of the flame
never goes over 50 cm.

That's too low.

This isn't it. Start again.

Yes, sir.

(hissing)

Dojin seems more meticulous than usual.

HOGAE: Bulldozer,
you didn't get it yet, did you?

- Hello.
- Hello.

The same goes for you, right?

What is this experiment about?

Uh, if the arsonist poured

flammable agents on the strangled body
then set it on fire,

then the initial ignition
should be horizontal along the body.

- Right.
- However,

if you look at this CCTV footage,

the initial ignition was vertical.

And it's pretty big, too.

HONG: Not many arsonists
use wicks that big.

The bigger the wick,
the more they may get caught.

That's right. You can't control a fire
once you ignite one.

I'm Yun Hong, a medical examiner at NFS.

- Oh.
- (velcro screeches)

Uh... I'm Bong Dojin.

I've never seen
such a meticulous firefighter before.

It's very sexy.

Sexy?

We have a fire simulator.
Would you like to use it?

A simulator? That'd be great.

FIREMEN: Clear.

- Look here. See?
- Right.

- Hey.
- What?

They're flirting, right?

I doubt it.

They're probably just very passionate
about scientific experiments.

I think he's the one
who's truly passionate.

- PIL: Huh?
- SEOL: Oh!

Hey, you're going to die!

You're going to die!

- What are you doing?
- Let go!

(people clamoring)

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

(coughs)
I know how Bang Pilgu died now.

And you had to try it yourself?

You guys are doing it, too. All right.

Let's do this again.

The culprit used two sets of strings.

One was easily flammable

while the other wasn't. Why?

- Myeongpil, come here.
- No, thanks.

We need to do this properly. Hurry.

All right.

They put the nonflammable string
around the victim's neck.

Then with the flammable string...

Why does this have to be me?

Just stay still. Okay.

HOGAE: This was why they needed two sets.

Bend your knees. All right.

This was how he was hanged.

But why so complicated?

What's important is "who" did it.

So who was it?

The bloodstains from the culprit
when he and Bang Pilgu were in a fight.

The footprints left by the culprit
after escaping through the window.

These were all fabricated.

There was neither a fight
nor footprints from the beginning.

(ominous music)

Am I bad at explaining?

Bang Pilgu did this to himself!

Look. He broke the window
as if the culprit did it.

Then he tied the nonflammable string
around his neck. Okay?

Then he hanged himself
with the flammable string.

And since we don't have any lighter oil...

It's water, but let's say
this is lighter oil. All right.

- PIL: Don't.
- HOGAE: Just stay still.

He poured some on the floor, too,
so he'd quickly catch on fire.

- This is refreshing. It's just water.
- (bottle clatters)

After that... Climb on top.

Move forward a bit.

After that,

he hung the string
on the ceiling like this.

Then who lit the fire?

Exactly. That's a very important question.

This is the important part.

He turned on the lighter.

HOGAE: He held it in one hand.

Then he started to strangle himself.
Make the posture. That's it.

He was strangling himself.

And he slowly lost consciousness.

- Aah...
- Right. Then what do you think happened?

I'm not sure.

You're dead. You're unconscious. Die.

I'm dead.

That's it!
The lit lighter fell to the floor.

And set the floor and his body alight.

So that big, vertical wick was his body?

HOGAE: All right. When we first arrived
at the scene...

- I know. I'm sorry.
- I'm okay.

- Okay.
- The hung string had burned off,

but the one around his neck
was still there.

That's how he disguised this
as strangulation and arson.

There was no V-mark around his neck
that's common in hung bodies.

CONSTRICTION MARK: TRACE ON SKIN
DUE TO PRESSURE FROM STRINGS

It's a clever trick.

Does this mean there's no real culprit?

Exactly. You know it, Bulldozer.

He's the smartest one here after me.

(sighs)

The cause of Bang Pilgu's death
was hanging, not strangulation.

The type of death was suicide
due to willful misconduct.

Get up.

Judging by your face,

it seems like the investigation
is going smoothly.

I won't check up on you
regarding this issue anymore.

Hogae will no longer be accused
of being a murderer,

so please don't call me again
when I have a lot on my hands.

It's uncomfortable.

Even a father doesn't visit
his son's teacher empty-handed.

I'm sorry I couldn't prepare anything.

I don't care about that.

Like you said,
everyone has their own dirty laundry.

But I am still a cop after all.

I don't want to be at your beck and call.

(Chuljoong laughs)

I have a plan,

so you won't need to be
at my beck and call anymore.

Let me ask you one thing.

Did you ask me to keep an eye on Jindo Dog

out of genuine worry,

or because you were afraid
he'd get in your way?

(tense music)

Ultimately...

you can say that it's for both purposes.

Enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving first.

(sighs)

(cutter clinking)

SANGGU: I'll only be able to work around
the Bang Pilgu case

if you tell me who the real culprit is.

Persuade him to turn himself in
and tell him what to say.

That's not happening.

CHIYOUNG: Sir.

Don't tell me you did it yourself.

(tense music)

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Hello?

Come out. Let's fight like true men.

SEOUL EAST DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

You should've told me sooner.

Your son stepped over the line
this time around.

JOONGDO: What I truly want you to do

is cover up his sin,

not punish him.

(line beeps)

CHOI SEOKDOO'S DRUG TRAFFICKING CASE

SUSPECT LIEUTENANT JIN HOGAE,
REINVESTIGATING

A MAN BELIEVED TO BE CHOI SEOKDOO
CAUGHT DRUG TRAFFICKING ON CCTV

(suspenseful music)

(sighs)

Leave the country for the time being.

You've done...

so much already.

(suspenseful music)

CHIYOUNG: I sent him away.

They'll never connect it to me.

They'll conclude the case as a suicide.
It's obvious.

Forget about him. What about Seok Mijung?

If Jindo Dog finds that junkie,
Choi Seokdoo,

it will be revealed
that the alibi was fabricated.

(tense music)

CHIYOUNG: His name is Choi Seokdoo.

He's a junkie who was dealing drugs
on October 31 at 2:40 a.m.

A CCTV camera
on the ATM across the street...

got a great angle of him.

He's our living alibi.

Chief Prosecutor Jin Chuljoong
went through the hassle of finding him.

We look similar.

We have the same height, too.

I'll be a junkie...

instead of a murderer.

I knew it. There's always a silver lining.

(both snicker)

CHIYOUNG: He even rented a room
above the convenience store

where that junkie worked.

He's probably full of spite,

and will look for the junkie at all costs.

Since the first move wasn't fun,

the second move should be different.

Pardon?

Those loan sharks that you defended.

Daemoo Group, was it?

They seemed...

to be good at their job.

MR. BAEK: I'm so sick of this.

They went through all that
just to put you behind bars?

This is hot.
(chuckles)

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I was scared to death thinking
that I'd be behind bars forever.

I guess you're even now.

Don't be absurd.

Unlike me, he's a murderer.

Who is this great murderer
you're talking about?

You're aware of the case, too.
Seok Mijung's murder case.

Right. That one.

HONG: Three linear stab wounds
of equal distance.

Probe, please.

STAB WOUNDS: WOUNDS CAUSED
BY SOMETHING SHARP

PROBE: A TOOL USED TO MEASURE
THE DEPTH OF A WOUND

(camera shutter clicks)

HONG: The wounds are 3.1-cm deep.

A sharp and long weapon
cut off the carotids.

The cause of death is excessive bleeding.

That's a unique murder weapon.

HONG: She was either stabbed
three times repeatedly.

Or the murder weapon has
three blades that are at least 3-cm long.

But I'm drawing a blank.

Don't worry. We know who the culprit is.

I'll ask him everything.

HONG: The case had a twist.

We couldn't identify the weapon,
or catch the culprit.

Choi Seokdoo provided him with an alibi,

so we lost him.

Darn it. We shouldn't have lost him.

He was even after Anna.

I'm sorry, but who's Seok Mijung?

Everyone here seems to know
who she is except for me.

Hey, did you think I was after
Choi Seokdoo for no reason?

Choi Seokdoo?

Hold on. Then Anna's case
and even the ex-convict's community...

Were they all part of your big picture?

That's right.

MR. BAEK: Myeongpil,
did you just realize that?

And you call yourself a cop? Jeez.

Let me tell you
about our victim, Bang Pilgu.

PIL: He picked up theft
eight years ago to make ends meet.

He has 13 priors
including special larceny.

He was recently locked up for theft

and was released on probation.

He was diagnosed
with terminal cancer earlier this year.

He had less than three months to live.

He fits the criteria perfectly
for abetting suicide.

Does he have a family?

His wife passed away.

He has one daughter,
but I can't reach her.

She canceled her phone service
two weeks ago.

ANNA: I checked
with the immigration office,

and she had flown to Belgium recently.

She's enrolled in the
Royal High school of Fine Arts.

I get it now.
His daughter was sent to study abroad,

and he died the way he was asked to.

But there's no point of contact
between Ma Taehwa and Bang Pilgu.

They were locked up in the same place.

Mr. Baek, don't you know
how big the Seoul detention center is?

Bang Pilgu, third floor, six-inmate room.

Ma Taehwa, fifth floor, single room.

There's no point of contact.

I'm certain the two met somehow.

Thanks to you, I spent my time
at ease in the medical room.

HOGAE: You said Bang Pilgu
was dying as well.

MR. BAEK: Judging by the number of drugs
in his system,

he must've been in a lot of pain.

HOGAE: They must've met
in the medical room.

MR. BAEK: Right.

We'll get our evidence
once we check the entry history.

You want to end this at abetting suicide?

You've become a scaredy-cat, Mr. Baek.

What?

We must indict Ma Taehwa
for the main crime. Murder.

But at the time
when Seok Mijung was murdered,

Ma Taehwa was buying drugs.

How can we indict him
when he has a concrete alibi?

Only Choi Seokdoo can nullify his alibi.
He's alive in one piece.

Choi Seokdoo would be dead meat
if Ma Taehwa gets his hands on him.

Right. Then we should get to him first.

Let's go.

He's quick. We'll be back.

(doorbell rings)

- Yes?
- HOGAE: It's me.

One minute.

(gentle music)

Is this good enough?

(doorbell rings)

Coming.

You don't have to report to me
that you're home.

Um...

I had something to ask.

What happens when an epileptic patient
skips their medication?

Oh...

Well, the seizures won't stop

and strain their everyday life.

Remember the guy from the grocery store?

Are his seizures severe enough
for him to need medication?

Oh, no. Someone's collapsed!

A patient who has experienced seizures
multiple times

becomes afraid of them

and makes sure
they take medication on time.

Okay. Thank you for your cooperation.

(door chimes)

Jeez.

INSURANCE BENEFIT DEPARTMENT

Here's the document for Mr. Choi Seokdoo.

He was prescribed Romamate,
an anticonvulsant.

This insurance history shows
that he purchased it at Myeongjo Pharmacy

in Gungpyeong-dong, Incheon four days ago.

How much did he purchase?

This would last him...

about a month.

PIL: Can we take this document?

INSURANCE AGENT: Sure.

He must be hiding somewhere.

Myeongjo Pharmacy in Gungpyeong-dong.

Give me a list of motels nearby. Thanks.

(man 1 groaning)

LOAN SHARK: Twenty-seven.

MAN 1: Please spare me.

(man 1 panting)

(man 1 screaming in pain)

MAN 2: Just spill.

(man 1 groaning)

We're not lending you this money for free.

Goodness. Of course.

I'll wire you the interest on time.

LOAN SHARK: As for the principal...

That's not what I meant.

TAEHWA: Uh, I don't need the money.

Pay me back with your skills.

Well...

We have many talents, you see.

(fingers snap)

(tense music)

- Hey.
- MAN 1: I'll pay you back. Spare me.

LOAN SHARK: He's full of spite these days.

His brother was incarcerated recently,
because of the last project.

Hello, sir.

I like his eyes.

(thrilling music)

That lunatic.

PIL: Does he not look at the signal? Jeez.

Okay.

He turned left.

- Copy that footage.
- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

Wait.

Yes? What is it?

Someone asked me the same question.

When?

About 30 minutes ago.

- Run.
- Okay.

Hey, there's a camera there. Let's go.

HOGAE: He turned left.

PIL: Got it.

Okay, I got you.

- It's the motel, right?
- I think so.

Let's go.

MAN ON TV: Blocking this part
would distress your opponent,

but it wouldn't stretch them out too much.

(doorbell dings)

- MAN (on TV): Last count. One...
- WOMAN (on TV): We've seen how quick...

Who is it?

MAN 2: Your jjajangmyeon is here.

- MAN (on TV): With this amount of time...
- WOMAN (on TV): Five. Six.

What took you so long?

(groaning)

- (grunts)
- (clattering)

(Choi groans)

HOGAE: Have you seen this man before?

I think he stayed here recently.

How recently? How long ago?

About 20 days ago.

Twenty days ago? Okay. Thank you.

MAN 3: Isn't that him?

No. Thank you.

He's not here. That way.

HOGAE: Can you check once more?

WOMAN: Hey, that's enough.

- He's not here, either.
- There.

Okay.

(suspenseful music)

You should be thankful.

You'll die while doing
your favorite thing.

(muffled grunting)

(groaning)

Just take a nap, and it'll be over.

It has great pumping speed.

(whimpering)

PIL: This way, Detective Jin!

(suspenseful music)

Hey, wake up.

Is he dead?

I feel a pulse. Give me that.

I don't think the naloxone is working.

Hey!

Give me one more.

(grumbles)

(crowd murmuring)

PIL: Let's get in.

(ominous music)

You did a terrific job.

You can give me the rest of the money now.

(ominous music)

(siren wailing)

Jeez, this is complicating everything.

What should we do?
This is driving me crazy.

- (Choi yelps)
- (Pil screams)

- You scared me!
- (Hogae whimpers)

(coughs)

Darn it.

Burner?

I almost had a heart attack.

HOGAE: Hey, I missed you.

- (Choi coughs)
- (Pil whimpering)

THE SAFEST TAEWON,
RESPECTED AND BELOVED TAEWON POLICE

I had no idea you were a cop
when we did that operation.

As you already know,
I was only running an errand.

How much did you get?

You know already. Thirty million won.
I already spent it all.

Not that.

Last year, on October 31 at 2:40 a.m.,

you sold your drug.

You neither bought drugs

nor went there that day. Understand?

(tense music)

Jackpot.

Hey, where's the drug you bought that day?

Aah...

(groaning)

I already know everything. Sit back down.

Yes, sir.

He paid you
and cleared one of your crimes.

And you provided a murder alibi for him.

You scratched each other's back.

I don't know anything.

But he must've changed his mind,
seeing how he hired a hitman.

We found a receipt for the syringe pump

underneath your bed in that motel.

SYRINGE PUMP: AN INSTRUMENT USED
TO GRADUALLY ADMINISTER MEDICATION

(tense music)

He wanted to make it look like
you were a junkie

who was tired
of injecting himself multiple times

and killed himself in the process.

EVIDENCE
ITEM: SYRINGE PUMP RECEIPT

Hey. Would you like to get buried
and rot away in the mountains

without anybody even noticing?

Or would you like to come clean

and have some bulgogi hot pot
or short rib...

Hey, is Daewang Galbi open?

- PIL: Of course.
- HOGAE: Would you like that instead?

Here.

MR. BAEK: This footage
is from October 31, 2021, at 2:40 a.m.

The guy in the footage is obviously you.

That's me, all right.

(upbeat music)

Live a righteous life, you bastard.

- (thumps)
- Aah!

- HOGAE: Let's go, Myeongpil.
- Coming.

(groans)

Let's go to Masong to apprehend Ma Taehwa!

(action music)

(siren wailing)

A HEARTWARMING WORLD THROUGH JUSTICE

We have a problem.

Choi Seokdoo came clean.

This means they can make
an arrest without a warrant!

Hurry up and delete everything.

Yang Chiyoung!

I told you to keep an eye on the junkie.

You darn idiot.

What's taking you so long?

You should escape abroad
before they put you on the No Fly List.

Hey, it'll all be over if they find these.

Then how about you get rid of the data?

You trust that bastard?

Understood.

In here, please.

(tense music)

Just do your job!

- (tires screech)
- (sirens wailing)

What's going on? Is this the right place?

(people clamoring)

- (alarm ringing)
- GUARD: Evacuate!

Out of the way! This is the police!

GUARD: There's a fire
in the director's office!

Evacuate right now!

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

We need to climb up the stairs?

Tell the fire crew to come
to the 23rd floor!

GUARD: Leave the building immediately!

Follow me!

(ominous music)

- Excuse me. Please move aside.
- (woman shrieking)

- Excuse me.
- What's going on?

(panting)

What's the matter?

Your stitches burst open.

Let's go.

(suspenseful music)

TAEHWA: Where's the helicopter?

Where is it?

It's taking some time
due to the strong wind!

I have no time! Darn it!

(alarm ringing)

Detective.

No!

- Darn it!
- Move.

(hissing)

He's injured! Are you okay?

- (alarm ringing)
- (helicopter whirring in distance)

(tense music)

Wrap up here.

An injured on the 23rd floor.
Call the fire crew!

Are you okay?

(suspenseful music)

(helicopter whirring)

It's here.

Over here! Hey!

CHIYOUNG: Over here!

(Hogae panting)

Over here! Hey!

(Chiyoung whimpers)

(epic music)

Hey! Where are you going?

CHIYOUNG: Hey!

Hey!

Over here!

(Chiyoung grunts)

(yelps)

What a useless idiot.

Going somewhere, you bastard?

You bastard!

Why can't you turn a blind eye just once?

Would you have done that, you bastard?

(groans)

(whimpering)

(action music)

(groaning)

(yells)

(groaning)

(grunts)

What do you want?

Just say it, and it'll be yours.

Money? Women? Honor?

I can send you to the HQ or the RIU.

I can do that!

What do I want?

I want to cuff you, you bastard.

(handcuffs clinking)

- (Taehwa panting)
- (Hogae grunts)

How do you think I knew

that Choi Seokdoo bought drugs that day?

Who do you think tipped me off?

Are you...

really going to get in your father's way?

Yes, just give up. Okay?

If not, I will make your father

hit rock bottom.

I was always a terrible son, you bastard.

- (Taehwa grunts)
- (Hogae groaning)

(suspenseful music)

- (Taehwa grunts)
- (Hogae groaning)

You have no respect for your father!

(Hogae screaming in pain)

Fine. Take me.

I'll be able to weasel out of it

with the best attorneys.

- (Hogae groaning)
- (Taehwa grunting)

A crazy dog needs to get beaten up.

You should've stopped barking
when I told you to, you bastard.

(grunts)

(music halts)

(suspenseful music intensifies)

That's hot!

- Where are they?
- Over here!

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.

Are you okay? Wake up.

- The fire hydrant!
- Yes, sir!

Over here! Take a look at him!

- And you?
- There's no time!

I'm not cut out for this.

Go up.

Oh, my goodness.

Hurry up!

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

Kisoo!

Yes, sir!

Detective Jin!

- MR. BAEK: Hogae!
- Arrest Yang Chiyoung!

- MR. BAEK: Hold this!
- Detective Jin, are you okay?

Detective Jin! Are you all right?
Call the medical service right now!

- Detective Jin.
- Call the medical service!

Hurry.

(Taehwa grunting)

What's that?

(Taehwa grunting)

Bring him up!

Hurry up!

PIL: One, two, three!

One, two, three!

- Be gentle!
- You bastard!

PIL: Detective Jin!

COP 1: Someone had a cardiac arrest
on the rooftop!

Hurry up, Medical Team!

(alarm ringing)

- OFFICER 2: Stay still!
- Uncuff me, you bastards!

(Taehwa grumbling)

TAEHWA: Uncuff me, you bastards.

Are you okay? Detective Jin!

He's unconscious.

PIL: Detective Jin!

Who had a cardiac arrest?

Over here!

Detective Jin isn't breathing.
What do we do?

(dramatic music)

(squishing)

Dongwoo, give me the hemostasis pad.

Take over for me.

- DOJIN: What happened?
- We need to move him right now.

All right.

Make way.

Move!

Keep tending to him.

(dramatic music)

DOJIN AND DONGWOO: One, two, three.

(siren wailing)

(tires screech)

Let the hospital know
that we need a massive blood transfusion.

SEOL: Administer normal saline.

NORMAL SALINE: PHYSIOLOGICAL
SODIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION

(monitor beeping rapidly)

(flatline beeping)

It's another cardiac arrest.

Get the Ambu bag.

(dramatic music)

SEOL: Why do you treat yourself so poorly?

A cop's salary includes his life's worth.

It's not like I have
some supernatural power

to read criminals' minds.

I just work darn hard.

I sleep less than others.

HOGAE: I work harder than others.

(flatline beeping)

(dramatic music)

Wake up if you want your life's worth!

(cries)

(screaming)

(sobbing)

Seol, we got a heartbeat again.

DONGWOO: Please drive faster!

(monitor beeping steadily)

TAEHWA: Make sure you get their faces.

They're abusing their power.

Abuse? We're making an arrest right now!

Darn it.

Sir, we're just executing our duties.

Mr. Baek, don't be so nice.

He's the reason why Detective Jin
is in a life-or-death situation!

What's the problem?
We're obeying your orders.

You shouldn't treat us like this.

We're cooperating...

Cooperating?

Also, I, his attorney must be with him

through the entire process
from now on. Understood?

Make sure you get
all of their business cards

and record their faces.

You're messing with the wrong person.

Let's go.

Take him to the operating room right now!
Everything is prepared.

Hurry up.

(panting)

(somber music)

Seol, sit down.

(both panting)

SOOJIN: Suction.

SUCTION: AN INSTRUMENT
USED TO SUCK BODY FLUID

- (air hissing)
- (blood splattering)

JAEHEE: The small bowel is ruptured,
and there's a mesenteric tear bleeding.

I predict peritonitis too. A hemostat.

Squeeze the blood bag harder!

NURSE: Yes, doctor.

(somber music)

(Chiyoung sighs)

(Chiyoung sucks teeth)

How long will you keep
an innocent man in here?

(door opens)

Go in.

PIL: Sit.

Sit down.

Recognize the man in the footage?

Yes, I do. It's my client.

He's lying. That's me.

You bribed me to keep my mouth shut!

- Is this everything?
- Yes.

Hey, give me that, too.

Sir, you must wear these
for the next two days.

Darn it.

They're so worn out.

There needs to be enough
of your DNA on them

for them to be considered yours.

Your colleagues have already confirmed

that the man dealing drugs
in the footage was my client.

And he paid his dues.

- That was...
- Hey.

Can you prove that this man is you?

Why do I need to prove it when it is me?

We have more than enough evidence
that this is my client.

The drug he purchased that day
and the clothes he wore.

The shoes, bag, and hat.

We submitted all of them to you already.

And you found his DNA on them.

A confession alone can't indict anyone.

I'm sure you know that.

(tense music)

All right.

The maximum number of hours you can detain
my client for is 48 hours.

It's been ten hours already.
In that case...

You can do the math.

Do you think he can walk out of here

after what he did to a police officer?

Lieutenant Jin Hogae was the one
who endangered an innocent civilian.

All that my client did

was defend himself
against the attempted murder.

TAEHWA: He dragged me
out of the helicopter.

Then he lunged at me
and said he was going to kill me.

And during the fight,

he got the hose wrapped around his neck.

If you think about it,

it's just a tragic accident.

I know you were after him.

I hate to break it to you.

But there are no CCTV cameras
on the rooftop.

Why you bastard...

- PIL: Mr. Baek.
- CHIYOUNG: I'm going to record this.

- PIL: Calm down.
- I'm recording this. Here we go.

CHIYOUNG: You should take responsibility.

You shouldn't be here right now.

You should be there for him...

before he takes his last breath.

(tense music)

(music halts)

CHULJOONG: I'm Hogae's father.

Is the surgery over?

There was excessive bleeding
due to the small bowel rupture

and the mesenteric tear.

We did everything we could,

but he had a cardiac arrest
while he was on duty.

We can only determine
his brain damage once he wakes up.

(tense music)

This is driving me up the wall.

We might have to let go
of Ma Taehwa at this rate.

Detective Jin is in that state
while apprehending him.

We can't let that happen.

First, let's go to the hospital.

What will you do? Hold his hand and pray?

Then what'll you do?

Watch that impudent tongue of yours.

(sighs)

What would Detective Jin do?

HOGAE: Be thorough, okay?

A scene is three-dimensional.

We need our imagination from now on.

It's impossible to investigate
without wasting time.

(action music)

Wasting time.

Anna.

Want to waste time with me?

Follow me.

PIL: Thank you.

ANNA: There he is.

Let us get a copy of this.

(action music)

SECURITY OFFICE

ANNA: He should be here.

PIL: Okay.

- Over here.
- Right.

Hello. You remember me, right?

Can we check your CCTV footage?

Hello.

I'm a police officer.
Can we check your CCTV footage?

- Will this be enough?
- Yes. What do you think?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

(tense music)

PIL: Their heights, body types,

and faces are so similar.

It's almost impossible
to differentiate them

using just the footage.

("To Anywhere" by Standing Egg playing)

SEOL: Just what did you do so wrong

that made you demoted to this suburb?

I wasn't demoted.
I volunteered to work here.

So don't think about keeping me as a pet.

I'll only bring you down.

Does it make your life easier
if you act cold toward others?

You push others away
to hide your feelings,

stay out of the spotlight,
and not get involved.

Thanks.

What? Which pattern did you say?

Didn't you hear it? I said thanks.

("To Anywhere" by Standing Egg playing)

THE FIRST RESPONDERS

Ma Taehwa!

I got your arrest warrant.

You need to make a decision
to wrap this up.

Ma Taehwa claimed that
you tipped him off, Mr. Jin Chuljoong.

Is there anyone you want to kill?

HOGAE: The perfect funeral day

for the gold digger
who approached Mom for her money.

The sense of comfort from touching
can relieve the pain.

HOGAE: Thank you.

Going somewhere?

HOGAE: I don't need to live here anymore.

This is your gift.

Why would you leave that here?

We're specially related.
