[line ringing]

-She's not picking up? -No.

She might be busy putting Jun to bed

or doing laundry or something.

What do you know? You don't even have kids.

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

-I can't get out on this side. -Come on, just try.

-You and your stupid parking. -Oh!

Hey, this is the chief's car. Did you just…

-Uh-oh. -Oh, no.

Give it to me. I'll take it to her. I can't…

Thanks.

-Damn it. -[Chunseok] I'll stay behind.

[car door closes]

[sighs] Why can't I…

[groans]

[light flickering]

[sighs]

What's taking him so long?

[sighs, grunts] God damn it.

[grunts, exhales]

Did you watch Kim Haseong's game yesterday?

I took a nap and missed it. How was the game?

-Damn it. You scared me. -How should I know?

-I only watch Ryu Hyunjin's games. -[scoffs]

We only have a few Koreans in the MLB. You shouldn't be picky.

[grunts]

[grunts, shouts]

[whimpering]

[both grunt and heavily pant]

Get the hell away from that car, you bastard!

Sorry, is this your dad's car?

[grunts]

[grunts]

[gasps, shouts]

-Hey, get the hell out here! -[grunts]

[grunts]

I'm going to kill you, asshole. [groans]

Damn you, you idiot.

-You crazy bastards! -[Chunseok] Dujin!

-Dujin, Dujin. -[Dujin] Hey, Chunseok.

-I'm okay. -Eunsook!

Eunsook.

Eunsook!

[Nahee] Over here.

SHINJIN POLICE WILL MAKE SHINJIN SAFE AND THE PEOPLE HAPPY

Why are you here? You left like you'd never come back.

I came to see you. Here.

-Man, just cut to the chase. What's up? -[chuckles]

-How's Mr. Lee doing? -[Jisoo] Lee Jungchan?

He's working his butt off as usual.

Well… what case is he working on now?

You've never been interested in any of his cases before.

But I don't know either. You know he never tells us anything.

What's wrong?

This might be a stretch,

but I'm afraid it might turn out like before.

Do you have a reason?

From a distance, I saw some red smoke.

I swear that's all I saw.

-Red smoke. -So, it's about gold.

[sighs]

[Dujin] This footage hasn't been copied, right?

[security guard] No.

We'll take the hard drive as evidence.

SECURITY

I have to check with the director first.

You know this is a crime scene, right?

If I come in here with a warrant and attract attention,

the director won't be too happy.

If the press finds out, it'll be bad for the hospital too.

We'll take care of it…

discreetly.

Thank you.

[grunts]

[Hyungmin] So, the tip was right again?

Yeah.

-But… -But?

Hold on.

Giseok sent you guys, right?

Hey, you. Come closer.

Come on.

-I asked you a question. Talk! -[groans]

[loud grunts from inside the car]

So, do you know who Giseok is?

Thanks for your answer, morons.

This is how he's going to use me? I hate cleaning up after other people.

What should I do with these guys?

-Take them away for now. -[Hyungmin] What about you?

I've got to write up a contract.

Yes, sir.

DO NOT ENTER

[police chatter indistinctly] [police chatter indistinctly]

[Eunsook sobs]

Jun is a brave boy, so he'll be fine.

Of course he has to be fine, otherwise you'll feel guilty! [sniffles]

Am I right?

You're a cop, Dujin.

Please hurry up and find Jun.

I can't live a single day without him. [sobs]

If something happens to him,

-I'll-- -Eunsook.

I'll find Jun, no matter what.

I promise.

-Hey, Dujin. Damn it. -Where are you going?

If I beat Director Go to a pulp, he'll start talking!

-Are you sure? -Didn't you know? He's one of them!

MINSOK VILLA BUILDING B

-[grunts] -Hold on.

-What's the plan? -Why are you holding me back?

Is it because they're not your family?

You bastard! I know you're upset, but how can you say that to me?

They're not just your family!

Eunsook is like my little sister, and Jun is like my son.

So stop spiraling!

And here's some advice. Treat them better.

If you don't show them that you care, they'll never know.

[Eunsook sobs]

Damn it!

Can you calm down? I need to think.

[indistinct chatter]

Did they come in my dad's car?

Pink? That's not Dad's.

I've seen that somewhere.

-But it's pink… -Real men wear pink.

-Then I heard a sound! -That's right!

This is a total mess.

[indistinct chatter]

Have you calmed down?

Let's get this straight first, okay?

Let's assume that Director Go is involved in this.

I told you he's involved.

Fine. Let's assume that he's involved.

Why would he kidnap Jun?

[Chunseok] Hey.

Let's list what we know in order first.

A cruise ship company, suffering from a loss in profit,

expanded its route despite the loss.

On the day of the test drive,

the cruise ship got stuck and the captain was murdered.

He had a history of smuggling.

JEON KWANGIL, CAPTAIN

[Chunseok] And after midnight, Baek Chul and Director Go

secretly took something out and ran away from us.

So?

Maybe things didn't go as planned because we showed up.

They wouldn't kidnap a cop's family for that.

They wouldn't. That would be going too far.

The kidnapper didn't demand anything either.

Maybe it's to blackmail someone related to Jun.

My brother.

Baek Chul?

He…

he helped me and Jun out a lot after my husband died.

And recently, he paid… [sobs]

the overdue hospital bills for Jun.

It was a big amount.

He couldn't have gotten it by normal means.

The amount was just too big.

Hey, now it all makes sense.

They planned to kidnap Eunsook and Jun to make Chul do their bidding.

That makes sense.

Let's find Chul first. I'm sure we'll find something.

-I'm here. -Hey, Corporal Do.

-Didn't you call Jisoo? -Am I not allowed to be here?

You are allowed, but I was just surprised.

What's wrong?

Take care of Eunsook.

-I'm fine. -No, stay with her.

I have no one else to trust.

Why can't you just say, "You're the only one I trust?"

Go. I'll call Jisoo instead.

-I'll stay. -Hey.

-Thanks. -What? What did you say?

-He said, "Thank you." -What?

He says, "Thank you." Good luck.

[cutlery clattering]

Why aren't you eating? You don't like the food?

-Let's go. -You should stay for more.

Do you want something else?

Yeah, let's stay longer. We have some time left until the low tide.

We'll work better with a full stomach.

The bulgogi is really good.

[exclaims] Thank you. Do you want more rice?

-Yes, thank you. -[chuckles]

[Nahee] I can do it.

Thank you.

Is Jun about five years old?

Yes, how do you know?

I saw him where the ashes…

of Sergeant Han's brother are.

I guess he at least visits his brother.

-Sorry? -Never mind.

I think Sergeant Han visits Jun as often as he visits his brother.

-Do you even visit him often? -I do.

Really? How tall is he?

[blows raspberry] Jun is… [sighs]

...about this tall?

[Nahee] It's what my father used to do.

He left for work before I was up and came home after bedtime.

So, he always measured me when I was sleeping.

[sighs] That idiot.

Why does he visit Jun at night instead of during the day?

It's not like he's guilty.

It seems like you know him much better than I do.

He really adores his brother and his family.

I had no idea.

He's that type of person.

[Eunsook] You should leave. I'll be fine.

Please go help my Jun and Dujin.

-[sighs] -Hurry.

[Chunseok] Say something.

-The silence is killing me. -I'm thinking of what to do.

[Nahee] Sergeant Han! The case that Lee Jungchan is working on

is about gold.

Does this piss you off?

No, sir.

It does. You're pissed.

Why is the kid the only one here? I told you to bring them both!

Look at me. You didn't play baseball, did you?

-Yes. -Does that mean you played or not?

I played baseball until high school.

-Are you certified? -No. You can't be certified in baseball.

Why not?

Then what about Doctor? Is he certified?

Why are you comparing yourself to others?

-You are just a dumbass… -[sobs]

[sighs] Doctor.

[sobs]

He's so damn loud.

See that?

He's like a real doctor.

You dumbass.

[cellphone buzzes]

GO GISEOK

[cellphone continues buzzing]

[Joongtaek clears throat]

[Giseok] Mr. Baek.

Did the Han River get rerouted or something?

[Chul] I'll be there soon.

Don't worry.

[laughs]

My goodness, Mr. Baek.

You must've forgotten your place because I've been treating you well.

But I'm sick and tired of playing nice! So, stop giving me an attitude.

And why should I worry?

You're the one who needs to worry.

I feel so damn bad for the kid.

He was stuck inside a hospital and couldn't even go outside to play.

So…

I brought him with me to help him get some fresh air.

If you touch even a hair on his head...

-I'll kill you. -[Giseok] Hair?

Can I touch other things then? He was being really loud.

-So, my guys put him to sleep. -You bastard!

[laughs]

You know how to yell? Man, I had no idea.

It was so annoying to watch you be all pretentious and serious.

Baek.

If you want to save the kid, hurry up and get me the gold.

I'm sure he'll stop messing around...

and cough it up now.

Let's go get it.

Didn't the chairman ask you to wrap it up quickly?

I'm going to do just that. Do you disagree?

Do you think Baek Chul will obey your orders?

Are you worried that I might get played by him?

-It's not that… -Then what?

The kid and our goods. The cops caught on to both of them.

-Don't you think it's too risky? -[sighs]

-It'd be wise to get rid of the trace… -Doctor.

Yes, sir.

You're a smart guy, so you think too much.

-Thank you. -That's not a compliment, you idiot.

Hey.

Listen. Listen.

It's so simple!

If we get rid of those bastards after getting the goods,

everything will be solved! It's perfect! Then my uncle,

the chairman, will finally recognize me. He'll finally see I'm worthy!

Yes, sir.

Don't argue with me anymore. Bring the kid.

What are you doing?

I have to pull this off without a hitch.

-I just saw a customer leave, though. -Yes, but now we're closed.

By any chance,

you weren't trading stolen goods, were you?

We don't deal with stolen goods.

You're trading stolen goods.

-I'm telling you I'm not. -[chuckles]

I heard rumors that a big whale is trading something here.

-I also heard Chairman Hwang is involved. -[clears throat]

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll get her to leave. Hold on.

[Nahee] Hyosun!

CLOSED TODAY

Please, come back tomorrow.

You know Wonjin, Sergeant Han's brother, right?

-Let me in. We need to talk. -[sighs]

What's wrong?

-Is someone in here? -[chuckles]

-[Hyosun] What's wrong with you? -Just…

Give me a second.

[grunts] No.

[sighs]

Hello.

What was that all about? I thought you were with your boyfriend.

[chuckles]

-You all know each other, right? -Yeah.

-From the cruise ship incident. -Did you come here to see Sergeant Han?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Get up.

I can't even get a break.

[Nahee] Hold on.

You forgot your bag.

Pink?

Real men wear pink.

Why do you only have one side though?

Did you lose the other?

Oh! It looks like you hurt your leg too.

Were you diving?

[suspenseful music playing]

[both grunt]

-No! -[Nahee gasps]

[grunts]

[breathes deeply]

I'll get going.

[Hyosun sighs] I'm sorry, Nahee.

Take it out.

That's weird.

What the hell?

Looking for this?

What are you doing?

Here you go.

[grunts]

[Joongtaek] Let's go without a fight, okay?

-[Namki] What the hell? -Where do you want it?

-Top or bottom? -[groans]

[exhales]

Let's go.

What are you doing?

[both grunt]

[Dujin] Stop it!

That's enough!

Are you showing off your fighting skills? Look at him panting! He's old now.

-I'm not old. -[breathes deeply]

Damn it, seriously.

[slurps]

Okay. What brings you all the way here?

Aren't you the one who made me come?

Are you implying that I was testing you?

Is that right?

Didn't you? I wouldn't be here if you didn't.

Fine.

If you thought this was a test, you probably didn't come empty-handed.

May I ask you something first?

Madam Choi, the big whale of the underground gold trade.

Is it possible that you're scared?

Don't be so arrogant. Cut to the chase.

All right.

Hwang Mandae's goods have been imported successfully.

There was a problem along the way, though.

Why are you telling me to trade with him if there's an issue?

Red smoke.

In the process of purifying gold, toxic gas and red smoke are released.

Well, you know the story, so I'll skip all that.

They changed the boxes on Palmi Island.

Yeonan Pier was just bait.

It's bold, but the main route is the Han River.

No one was suspicious because he used his cruise ship business.

I was also very surprised.

Your point?

Hwang Mandae.

In order to take over the Han River development business,

he needs serious cash.

He's paying for the acquisition in two days.

He has no choice but to trade with you.

Take advantage of this situation and demand his smuggling route.

Then you'll be able to secure safety...

for your imports and exports.

Bring him in.

[assistant] Let him in.

[suspenseful music playing]

Dujin.

Do you really want to know? What happened that day?

Go ahead. You should've told me years ago, anyway.

Wonjin was a great cop.

He loved his job, and he was diligent.

He was really happy after he got married to Eunsook.

-Jun, are you sleepy? -[Chul] And then they had Jun.

-[Dujin] Wow, look how sleepy you are. -[Chul] But…

Currently, instead of hoping for a cure,

it's better to maintain his condition so it doesn't get worse.

HEEMANG GENERAL HOSPITAL

How could this happen?

How? [whimpers]

It's okay.

[Chul] Aren't you ashamed to face Jun?

Yes. I am.

But…

we need money to keep Jun alive.

As long as Jun lives...

I don't care how much shame I feel.

There's still a line you shouldn't cross, you bastard.

I won't ask for your help anymore.

-Just look away. -How can a cop smuggle…

-Don't do it. I'll look for another way. -I have to do this.

I already got paid.

-You crazy bastard. Have you lost it? -What choice do I have?

-I can't even pay for his surgery. -Be honest with me.

This isn't the first time, is it?

-I asked you a question! -[Chunseok] Hey, sorry we're a bit late.

Hey.

What's wrong?

This better be the end.

[Dujin] The end of what?

OFFICER OF THE YEAR HAN WONJIN

[Chul] "Han River Officer of the Year?"

Shame on you, you bastard.

What's with you?

Hey, Wonjin. What's wrong with Chul?

-What happened? -It's nothing.

[Dujin] Talk to me, man.

-It's here. -I think so too, but Wonjin…

This tank's nearly empty. Let's get a new one.

It's fine. It won't take long.

[metal clanging]

[Chul] Dujin.

Wonjin…

[boat engine revving]

Wonjin!

Wonjin!

Wonjin!

What happened? [sobs]

[sobs] Jun is waiting for you! Wake up!

-That's enough. -Damn it, don't tell me to stop!

I said that's enough, you bastard!

Damn it!

Wonjin! [sobs, screams]

Damn it.

Tell me. Tell me what happened!

-What happened? Tell me. -I'm sorry. [sobs]

I'm sorry, Dujin.

Damn it. Being sorry doesn't solve this! Bring back my brother! Wonjin!

Wonjin, Wonjin! [sobs] Wonjin!

Wonjin! Wake up, wake up!

Wake up, damn it! [screams]

[Chul] You all knew Wonjin was smuggling goods.

You hated me for helping him rather than stopping him.

I told you to shut up!

Get yourself together...

and face the facts.

Face the facts?

Face what? Don't bullshit me. What about you?

What you did for Jun put him in even more danger!

Can you just let me go?

We have to save Jun. I'll turn myself in as soon as it's over.

Like hell you will. I'm going to save Jun.

Hello, I would like to request backup.

[Jungchan] Backup? I don't think we can help you.

-What? -[Jungchan] This is my case.

You guys are the backup.

All right.

Fine, go ahead and take all the credit.

Excuse me for taking the call.

Aren't you supposed to say that before you pick up?

Also, why is this man here?

Why? Do you feel uncomfortable sitting across from a cop?

-Is that what you're implying? -I approve of his involvement.

[clears throat] If that's the case, sure.

He had quite an interesting story.

Chairman Hwang.

If you want to succeed, you should learn how to keep a poker face.

Oh, come on.

Stop beating around the bush and get on with it.

Director Go.

He's working very diligently to ruin everything.

What kind of nonsense is this? What do you want?

You trying to squeeze money out of me? You want some?

Looking out for your family?

So, that's the way it is.

I can criticize my family, but I can't allow others to do the same.

Isn't that right?

Also, do you even have evidence?

If you're just poking around...

I don't care who has your back. I won't let it slide.

The cops are on your case.

It's only a matter of time before they catch him.

So? Are you offering me help? [laughs]

Who do you think I am?

-I can take care of this on my own. -You must be quite confident.

Aren't you desperate for cash?

Are you threatening me?

What if I am?

I told you to keep a poker face. [exhales]

I'm telling you not to trust the politicians.

To keep their positions, they won't hesitate to abandon

all their convictions. I'm sure you know this very well.

You seem to be well aware of where I stand.

Let's call it customer management.

All right, have fun selling your goods.

That's enough for today.

-What do you want me to do? -[suspenseful music playing]

If you make me turn around one more time,

I won't let it slide.

I understand. Please tell me what you want.

Your smuggling route using the cruise ship.

-How do you… -Give it to me.

-And Director Go as well. -...my God…

Hmm?

[cellphone ringing]

Hey, Jisoo. How is your arm? Is it okay?

I'm at the barge office.

If you can't come, I can go with Chunseok.

Do you want to come?

Sure, okay.

Why would you tell him to come? He's injured.

We're a team. We should stick together.

-Actually, I should tell him not to come. -It'd be weird if Jisoo came, right?

What do you mean?

-What? -What?

I'm just worried that Jisoo will get hurt again.

I mean, if Jisoo comes here,

-he'll find out about Wonjin. -And?

My job is to save Jun and put all the smugglers behind bars.

-It's simple. -Yeah, that's true.

You sure you're okay with that?

Everyone will find out about what Wonjin did.

Let's think this through and see what's best for Jun.

You want to cover it up?

Hey, I'm just saying.

-There's no need to… -The truth will come out anyway.

I'd rather bring it to light myself than let some stranger do it.

As for Jun...

I'll stay beside him.

[cellphone ringing]

[Seok] Baek. Where are you? Why aren't you coming?

I'll be right there.

[cellphone disconnects]

-Shall we go now? -Okay.

Let's go. Hey, come on. This brings back memories, doesn't it?

-[Dujin] Memories, my ass. -Are you still upset? Come on now.

-[groans] -[groans]

[Chul] We'll finish up the job.

I'm sorry.
