It just turned off.

AHN JU-YONG

My ribs... Just take them.

You've become daring.

You almost killed me, you punk!

- You little... - Gosh.

I didn't know it was you, sir.

- You didn't? - No.

It was in sleep mode.

- What's the passcode? - I don't know.

- You little... - I remember it now.

Here.

LEDGER BOOK

I see. You've got a second set of books.

The source and the recipient?

I don't know.

You siphoned it off behind Mr. Cheon's back, didn't you?

"K."

"L."

"P."

- Who is that? - Don't try to guess.

AHN JU-YONG

Ahn Ju-yong.

"A. May 20th, 2017."

The day of the overpass arson attack.

Did you sell drugs to him that day?

He got into trouble high on drugs

and you got kickbacks.

And the case got covered up and fabricated.

Just bring me in for distributing drugs.

Do you want to grow old in prison?

I have money to hire a lawyer.

But if Mr. Cheon finds out about this,

you'll be dead before hiring anyone.

Darn it.

- Where is Mr. Cheon? - Why does that matter?

I need to catch Mr. Cheon for you to live.

Why on earth are you looking for him?

- Where is he? - Gosh, seriously.

- Where is he? - Darn it!

What do you want?

I'm coming tomorrow night. Get it ready.

You ran out already?

I got an additional order from the VIP.

- How much? - The same as last time.

Got it.

We have an additional order from Sang-gu.

Is that right?

Who is the VIP?

Who else? It's a regular client.

So who is the regular client?

Catch Mr. Cheon first. You'll find out then.

EPISODE 6

If you don't want your head blown off,

do as I say.

- Calm down, Sung-ah— - Shut your mouth and do as I say!

Cuff yourself.

Okay, I will. Just lower your gun.

What's that? That CCTV?

You're him. Aren't you?

Chief Seo.

- What? - He asked me to tail Detective Kim

and report to him.

Right after Section Chief Woo died.

- I haven't told him about the friend. - Don't lie. Then why watch him?

It's evidence.

If something happens to us while chasing that psychopath,

it will explain what happened.

To report to the chief?

Yes, that too.

That punk is a lunatic. We have to be prepared.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was going to!

You want me to believe that?

I'll prove it to you.

How will you prove it to me?

Did you find any more clues about Hyun-seok?

We can't just rely on Taek-rok.

We're looking at it from various angles, but it's tough.

Where is Taek-rok now?

His phone was turned off until just now.

I told you not to let him get away.

I'm sorry.

Bring on more security personnel.

Yes, sir. I'll call the security agency right away.

I want to confirm if the chief was really his target.

That's why I bugged the chief's office, too.

Just until we catch that punk.

How can I believe you now?

I'll make you believe me. I'll fix it.

Anyone can make a mistake. You just need to fix it.

The same goes for me.

Uninstall the CCTV and remove yourself, too.

I'll tell Detective Kim...

GEUMO POLICE STATION

Did you look into it?

I think Kim Taek-rok is looking for someone.

- Who? - I haven't found that out yet.

I got his call records. It looks like he visited Choi Kyo-il at the hospital.

He had calls with Yang Ki-tae, too.

If it's about the recent drug case,

he may be after Mr. Cheon who vanished.

CHIEF OF POLICE SEO GWANG-SU

- Sang-kyu. - Yes, sir.

You're the only one I can trust now.

Make no mistakes.

If he followed through with my orders, Hyun-seok had killed Mr. Cheon.

But Taek-rok is looking for Mr. Cheon?

Does he not know that Mr. Cheon is dead?

Or because he knows he's dead? What if...

Why did we come here?

KOOK JIN-HAN

Stay here.

You know me too well. Where would I go?

Darn it. What a mess.

Myung-ho, get the guys ready.

We'll bring down both Mr. Cheon and Kim Taek-rok tonight.

WE'LL BRING DOWN BOTH MR. CHEON AND KIM TAEK-ROK TONIGHT

Yes, sir.

Kim Taek-rok is going around with Ma Sang-gu.

Ma Sang-gu?

Why won't you tell me what's going on? And why do you need the dashcam?

You won't be harmed.

He is looking for Mr. Cheon with Ma Sang-gu?

What on earth is he plotting?

KIM TAEK-ROK

What's taking him so long?

This is the prime spot to get to the island.

- No one is around at night. - Why is that?

Because Mr. Cheon is hiding out on the island.

He doesn't come out of the island?

Why don't you ask him yourself when you see him?

Will you be able to handle it alone? There is a big crew there.

I just need to get Mr. Cheon.

You distract the others.

Then what?

I told you already. Then you'll get to live.

I'll go look into a boat.

- Who is that? - I don't have a boat license.

I know him well. Don't worry.

What about GPS?

I got one for fishing. No worries.

- Turn off your cell phone. - Okay.

When I distract them, get inside the building.

BRIBE, BRIBE, USED FUNDS

I was wondering when I'd see you.

No wonder I had a bad hunch. I was curious who he brought along.

Long time no see, Detective Kim.

CHIEF SEO CALL ME

Get rid of Mr. Cheon.

But what about... Kim Taek-rok?

- Hey, Cheon Ki-duk. - Hey, Kim Taek-rok.

Was it you?

Did you...

kill Hyun-seok?

Why would you ask me that? Didn't he die from a fall?

I guess not.

What? Did Chief Seo ask you to kill me, too?

If Mr. Cheon didn't kill Hyun-seok,

he isn't the friend.

I'm disappointed in you, Detective Kim.

You're just a chief's underling now.

Your leg...

Did Chief Seo do that to you?

No. Woo Hyun-seok did.

It's the chief's doing, isn't it?

Do you think I'll die alone?

No way.

Fine. Go ahead and shoot. Not everyone is capable of murder.

You can't kill anyone.

Shoot. Go ahead and shoot me, you punk.

I said shoot me!

Why do you think I'm telling you this?

You're going to die in the end, but you'll feel less wronged

if you knew why and how you're going to die at least.

We've been through thick and thin together.

Don't you agree?

This is it, right?

Chief Seo's transaction records.

By the way, aren't you sick of living on an island?

I am, but what choice do I have?

Mr. Cheon is lying low.

Jeez, Mr. Cheon became a scaredy-cat now.

He used to make a fuss saying he can take on everyone.

Make a fuss?

You punk, have you lost your mind?

Yes. I totally have, you scumbag.

Don't move, you punk! Don't come near me.

I've got Chief Seo's order.

- Move quickly. - Yes, sir.

Do you want to become fish food,

or just give in and come to my side when I'm taking you in?

It's already been decided at the top.

No reason for us to shed blood, right?

Stop spewing nonsense, you punk.

Hey. Do you even know how to shoot?

You damn scumbag.

Do you want your head blown off?

Take the safety off.

What do you want to do?

Darn you.

Ma Sang-gu, that little...

This is the outcome you wanted?

Ma Sang-gu wouldn't make a move alone.

- Chief Seo, then? - Which way?

Darn it. Myung-ho, come with me!

You stay right there!

Bring it on!

Did he get hit? He did, right?

I can't see very well.

Jeez! What was that? A gun?

They got us. Darn it!

Where did they run off to?

Darn it.

- Hey, are you all right? - Yes, I am.

- You didn't get hit? - No.

Let's go.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Just hang in there.

Seo Gwang-su...

Gosh. Wait. Mr. Cheon just went down.

That scumbag Kim Taek-rok has a gun, so watch out.

Are there any other detectives here?

My leg hurts so much. I need to go to a hospital.

Gosh, wait.

Darn it.

You darn fool.

You bastard!

What happened? Who is that?

Let's get him to a doctor first.

- Will you keep handling everything alone? - Let's go for now!

Yes.

Get ready.

Can we talk?

Later.

I sutured it for now.

Is he conscious?

Fortunately, it didn't hit any major organs.

But he still needs to get to a hospital soon.

Hello?

Got it.

I owe you my life.

I hate owing things to people.

Chief Seo will barge in soon.

So what?

This isn't enough to get Chief Seo.

I need your testimony.

Once I testify, what will happen to me?

Have you got a plan?

You'll die once you're out of my protection.

Your plan is to threaten me?

Ma Sang-gu is dead, too.

You'll be transferred to another hospital.

Just do as I say.

Then you'll live.

- Or else? - I can't protect you.

I won't die alone.

You know that, don't you?

- Get started. - Yes, sir.

Check carefully before going upstairs.

- Search that side thoroughly. - Report it right away, okay?

What are you doing here?

Sir, this way.

Are you able to stand up?

You're under arrest for violating narcotics regulations. Got it?

Get him up.

I'm a patient.

- Do I have no rights? - File a complaint, then.

Sir.

What a dramatic reunion.

- Get him out of here. - Yes, sir.

Please get him up. You can stand up, right?

Sir, after you. Stand up.

You have the right to hire a lawyer.

You may defend yourself.

You may refuse to give a statement...

Hey. What the heck are you doing?

He got shot.

Not once, but twice.

You didn't know?

Hey, Kim Taek-rok!

Don't do anything. I'll handle everything.

If Mr. Cheon gets harmed, you'll really be done for.

How will you finish it off?

I'll catch Hyun-seok's killer first.

That's the only way you and I'll be safe.

Hey, look.

No one is safe anymore.

If Mr. Cheon isn't the friend, who the heck could it be?

Keep Mr. Cheon safe first.

Especially from Chief Seo.

He'll likely go after Mr. Cheon at all costs.

How will we be able to catch that idiot?

Mr. Cheon...

will be exposed.

That's too dangerous.

The friend is sure to approach Mr. Cheon

to dig out the chief's acts of corruption.

By the way,

are we a team?

You work alone, Detective Kim.

He does that for our safety.

Because of that, the situation got worse.

You still keep too many secrets from us.

From now on, I'll go get what I need my own way.

Detective Kim, I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Well...

The fact that you were Chief Seo's spy?

How did you...

How much did you tell him?

Everything before the car explosion investigation.

I'm sorry.

Just don't get hurt, okay?

That will be the most upsetting thing for your colleagues.

You may go now. Go on.

Yes, sir.

Thanks...

for the call earlier.

I'm sorry, sir.

What do these numbers mean?

Detective Kim.

Things just don't fall into your lap, you know?

But who knows?

If you sincerely care about me,

perhaps I will testify.

What do these codes mean?

Sir, you have to be quick, okay?

Okay, man. I just need to check one thing.

2022 EVIDENCE 156-4A SUPERINTENDENT WOO HYUN-SEOK CASE

"Zero, one, two, one, Chairman Jang,

redevelopment, conflict,

annihilation..."

Zero, one, two, one.

Zero, one, two, one.

Chairman Jang? Wait a second. Who is that?

Let's see. Was that five years ago?

You know, the one about a broker that got our commissioner fired.

You know the incident with Chairman Jang.

Is that him?

The existing power conflict means the development committee.

And... Chief Seo.

What on earth does 0121 mean?

Cell phone number?

Or date of birth?

FRIEND

Update on Chief Seo's corruption?

KOOK JIN-HAN WHERE ARE YOU?

Don't you know it's total chaos here?

Did you secure evidence?

I'm at the hospital.

GIVE ME A CALL NOW

Who cares about the evidence of his corruption?

What?

KOOK JIN-HAN

What about the evidence?

You find out for yourself now.

What the heck are you playing at?

Why aren't you picking up?

Mr. Cheon, who knows about Chief Seo's corruption, is at a hospital.

You find out for yourself.

Who's got your back now?

It's not that. It's because I don't trust you anymore.

Don't regret it.

It won't be just a warning.

0121, CHAIRMAN JANG

The die is cast already.

My goodness.

What's going on?

GEUMO HOSPITAL

What? They're not surveilling him discreetly?

Being exposed may be safer for Mr. Cheon.

All matters at the hospital is under my command from now.

Keep an eye on Cheon Ki-duk.

Split up and cover your respective areas.

The two of you will handle that. Get to work now.

Yes, sir!

I'm giving you some antibiotics.

- Where is the suspect? - In the operating room.

It doesn't end, does it?

We meet again. Is it good or bad?

I meant your life.

Where is Ma Sang-gu?

He was acting recklessly like someone else,

and got himself killed.

I see. You frighten me, sir.

You're really something.

I'll give you treatment and compensation.

My generosity ends there. Leave the country.

Why?

Are you afraid of me?

Stop the nonsense

and restore my business.

Then I'll help you with your future endeavors.

More than what I did for Woo Hyun-seok. Satisfied?

Do you really want to die?

I've been dead twice already.

No one will notice even if someone so lowly as you died here.

Sir.

You need the ledger, don't you?

Detective Kim Taek-rok took it.

He already knows that you were behind it all.

But do you really think that's all I have on you?

Excuse me. Wait. You can't go in there!

Please leave. Wait, sir.

- You can't go inside. - Please leave.

What's going on? Who let him in?

- You can't come in here. Please leave. - Okay.

Please leave.

GEUMO POLICE STATION

What are you doing? Let go.

I wonder where Ma Sang-gu got the gun.

The smell of a fired bullet lasts for at least three days.

No matter how hard you clean it off.

Pardon me. May I borrow your phone?

Sure.

Hey, aren't you going to question me?

- You feel wronged, don't you? - About what?

Wow, you're something else.

Why would I feel wronged?

Because you'll take the rap.

- For drugs? - Drugs.

And also for murdering Woo Hyun-seok.

Both drug and murder charges are stated.

Is this also Chief Seo's doing?

I guess Chief Seo has been behind it all.

You're spewing nonsense.

Testify.

Do you plan to strike Chief Seo?

You're not afraid?

This isn't an interrogation room.

There are no CCTVs or recording devices.

You want to make a deal with me?

You squeeze things out of me and catch Chief Seo.

Then what? I get eliminated?

Who shielded your drug operation?

"Shielded"?

I don't like the sound of that.

Do whatever you want. Go ahead and put the drug and murder charges on me.

But why do you want to know about that?

Why are you digging up Chief Seo's weakness?

What will I get out of this?

You'll get to settle somewhere safely.

That's all?

You're not behind the bars here.

You aren't imprisoned, but you aren't protected either.

Why should I trust you?

I didn't draft this.

It came from the top.

- What if I refuse? - Then we'll follow protocol.

The moment you leave the hospital, you're out of my hands.

Just hand over the corruption by the Chief.

Then you'll be protected immediately as a witness.

You knew that Ahn Ju-yong committed arson high on drugs.

- Is that important right now? - Of course, it is.

You are where all the troubles began.

Needless to say, Mr. Cheon, too.

What did you get out of Mr. Cheon?

An underground network reeking of a rotting smell.

And the transaction records.

Why bother with it now?

Better late than never.

Don't you think it's too late for both you and me?

I guess you don't have a winning hand yet.

- It's an issue of timing. - Timing?

- So when will be good timing? - It depends.

Taek-rok.

I'll take that hand. How does that sound?

That's why Hyun-seok died.

Did you find out who did it?

Only option left for you is to repent and apologize.

- Getting punished is a way to start that. - Tell me.

Who killed our dear Hyun-seok?

It was you and me.

I gave you a week.

Time's up now.

UPRIGHT AND CLEAN GEUMO POLICE

GEUMO POLICE WILL REFORM OURSELVES

I endured living like this for over 30 years,

being something that didn't suit me.

Where are they?

Yeah?

What?

- Get out of my face! - Put that down first.

- We'll protect you. - Don't put on a show, punks!

What's going on?

- He's refusing treatment. - Why?

That guy isn't a doctor, is he?

I told you so many times already. I'm on duty tonight.

A doctor gives an injection?

Because the nurses were afraid of you, I did it instead.

Is there a problem?

Look. This is Detective Son Kyung-chan.

And that's Detective Lee Sung-ah.

What?

Please take everyone outside.

Yes, sir. Please come with me.

You're doing such a lousy job of protecting me.

You don't care if I get killed overnight, do you?

Just trust Detectives Lee and Son.

They're always guarding you.

- Why should I trust them? - They're my team!

They know Chief Seo is corrupt.

- What did Chief Seo say? - What do you think?

- He said he'd kill me. - What else?

If I keep my mouth shut, he'll set me free and pay me, too.

So what if you're set free?

You'll be dead once you get out.

Any funny business, he'll kill you at once. Don't you get it?

But what choice do I have?

Just get me a reporter.

I'll reveal everything and determine my own fate.

No matter what anyone offers you, discuss it only with me.

Do not make a decision on your own.

- For how long? - I just need you to testify later

on acts of corruption by Chief Seo and the development committee.

I'll do my best to get your sentence reduced.

But I'll get punished regardless.

Better than getting killed.

If Chief Seo is caught, you'll be an accomplice.

If not, you'll be the main culprit.

He plans to put all the charges on you.

What if I am harmed?

If anything, I'll take a hit first.

- Why are you doing this? - It's none of your business.

Discuss things only with me.

Don't make a decision on your own.

Guard him well.

If it's an emergency, call these guys.

- Yes, sir. - Good.

Will that punk actually show up?

- Soon. - Will it really be okay?

It must.

It seems like Mr. Cheon trusts you.

We'll see.

Hello, sir. I heard Mr. Cheon kicked up a fuss.

Hey. Don't leave your post.

What? Well, nothing else happened, right?

You're in charge, Detective Han.

Why me? It's Detective Kwak. And both of you are here, too.

Hey. He's feeling anxious. Please keep him safe.

Yes, sir. See you later.

Hey, go take a quick break.

- I'll watch him. - It's okay.

It's okay. Did that old man scold you?

What? It's fine. Go for a smoke and come back.

- I'm really okay, sir. - I'll watch him. Go on.

Then I'll go just briefly.

Who put handcuffs on you at the hospital?

Why are you wearing them in here?

My goodness.

Who shot you?

Do I have to repeat it again?

But you must've seen who did this to you.

Why are you trying to hide it?

Was it Ma Sang-gu?

I have no idea.

Hey, bro.

Ki-duk.

You always cursed at me. Now you're trying to be all friendly?

What? Go ahead and say it.

Don't you have the files on the chief's corruption?

Can you hand them over to me?

What do you need them for?

Why would you hold on to them?

They'll just put you in greater danger.

The chief is so enraged right now that he's about to explode.

So just hand them over to me.

- What do you need them for? - I just need them.

- If I give them up? - You'll live.

How fortunate I am.

So many people want to keep me alive.

Prove it.

You'll need to get out of here safely to be able to use this money, right?

How should I get out of here? Fly away?

That's for you, the almighty Mr. Cheon, to figure out.

You don't need my help, do you?

Why are you doing this?

I said I need them.

We don't have much time. Hand them over.

No matter what anyone offers you, discuss it only with me.

Do not make a decision on your own.

- Leave me some cigarettes. A lighter, too. - Ki-duk.

You don't trust me?

Then should I decide for you

the only way for you to survive?

- Hello? - Taek-rok.

Just listen.

I found something related to Hyun-seok's death.

Come to my place. I'll show you something.

By the way, Chief Kook...

You've heard of "Black Bear," right? The redevelopment broker.

I saw him meeting with Chief Kook.

Redevelopment broker?

Chief Kook?

You asked me to call you. Why didn't you pick up?

You investigated Chairman Jang's case before you came here, didn't you?

Yes. Why do you ask?

0121, CHAIRMAN JANG, REDEVELOPMENT, CONFLICT, ANNIHILATION... KIM TAEK-ROK

Where did you get this picture?

I think Woo Hyun-seok had some kind of relationship with Chairman Jang.

I guess Chairman Jang is really up to something.

The chief also asked me about Chairman Jang, too.

But this is what I don't understand.

If Section Chief Woo Hyun-seok and Chairman Jang were working together,

it means they betrayed the chief, doesn't it?

If the chief had found out about this

and that's why he killed Section Chief Woo Hyun-seok,

why would he ask me about Chairman Jang?

It'd just make him look suspicious.

- Hey, you. - What?

Are you completely done with Chairman Jang's case?

By any chance,

you don't think I have something to do with Chairman Jang, do you?

What do you want me to do?

Stay out of this until I'm proven innocent?

Are you being serious?

Stay out of it. Starting right now.

Detective Kim, where are you going?

Hey.

- Guard him well. - Yes, sir.

- I'll call you. - Okay.

He doesn't seem fine.

I know.

ALLOW ACCESS TO PHONE? YES

Hurry up.

Get moving.

HAKGIL CAFE CCTV

COPYING...

TAEK-ROK

The call cannot be connected. Transferring to voicemail...

Yes.

Please wait a moment.

Darn it.

I'm not taking it!

- What the hell are you doing? - Stop that!

The call cannot be connected. After the beep...
