All language subtitles for Trigger (2025) Episode 8

We will now execute
a joint operation to arrest Kim

and seize all firearms.

While the SOU and I round up
Gu Jeong-man and Kim at the club,

Officer Lee will raid the tool market
and seize all of Gu Jeong-man's guns.

Can't we just send the SOU team
into the tool market

to overwhelm them with numbers?

There are too many risk factors.

There's an apartment block,
a busy commercial district,

and even a subway station
near the tool market.

With public anxiety over guns at its peak,

a large-scale shootout

would cause widespread panic
and confusion.

I'm sure you already know this,

but the operation must be executed
swiftly and discreetly.

But can we really trust
Gong Seok-ho to cooperate?

Maybe he's up to something.

We're prepared.

Once I capture Gong Seok-ho
and Gu Jeong-man at the club,

Officer Lee will promptly move
into the tool market.

First, I'll seize Gu's firearms.

Then I'll search the place
for evidence on Kim.

Okay, then. Bring Kim here by tomorrow.

GYEONGIN SEOBU POLICE STATION

-I'm done.
-Come on, hurry up.

-Did you load everything?
-Yeah.

Follow them.

All units, stand by in position
until Gu Jeong-man arrives.

Hey, Do.

We're all set.

Gu Jeong-man hasn't arrived yet.

I'll call you when he does.

YAKAM TOURIST HOTEL

Damn it.
What's taking those bastards so long?

Your fingers are fine, right?

Of course.

I even used hand cream to keep them soft.

Put that on and go have
that long-overdue talk with Gong.

And send him my regards.

Sure, I'll pass it on.

For sure.

What the fuck was that?

Hey.

How do you like my tool?

Dope, isn't it?

Wait.

Hold on, Jeong-man! Just hear me out!

No!

Gu Jeong-man's vehicle is approaching.

He's here.

Everyone, check your guns
and bulletproof vests. Stay alert.

You good?

If I make it out alive,

I'll treat you to a feast.

And if you don't?

If I don't?

Ask Jeong-man to treat you. I'm off.

Later.

Hey, come in.

Good to see you.

Gong, you fucking bitch.

You asked for my fingers, didn't you?
Here they are. Bye!

Fucking hell.

You backstabbed me,

and Jeong-man backstabbed you.

Isn't this hilarious? Right?

Shots fired in the building.

SOU team, move in first.

Sweep the building in teams of two,
starting from the first floor.

You fucking son of a bitch!

Fucking hell, you scared me!
Why are you yelling at me?

Sir.

Got those fingers you wanted?

Where are you?

That's not important right now.

Did you meet Mr. Kim?

I have no idea
about this cash cow or whatever,

but consider this payback
for the money you stole from our work.

What?

Oh, and I'm sorry.

You know those cigars? The Cubans.

To be honest,
they don't fucking suit you at all.

Gu Jeong-man.

How dare you stab me in the back.

You told me to trust you,
then called the cops on me.

Damn you, motherfucker!

Let's go.

Fuck--

Stop shooting, for fuck's sake.

Let's die here together, motherfucker.

What? This is not Gu Jeong-man.

It's Kim.

What are you saying?
Then where's Gu Jeong-man?

He's probably heading your way,
don't you think?

Okay. I'll check.

Wait for my signal.

Stand by for the signal.

Jeong-man, how'd it go?

Gather around.

Holy shit! Jeong-man, what's all this?

Boys, this is your severance pay.
Split it evenly among yourselves.

Let's live it up like everyone else
and suit up!

This is awesome!

Hey, there's one more!

Come on, grab your share too.

-You punk.
-Okay.

-It's not safe. Leave now!
-Okay.

Hey, Jeong-man.

The cops totally stormed in.

Okay.

Get over here fast.

Hey, got a light?

-A light? Nah.
-I'll grab one from the car.

-Seung-gyeong. Go check.
-Shit, are the cops here?

Suspect engaged. Moving in.
Everyone else, join when the SOU arrives.

Hey, grab these!

-Hey, the bag!
-Bring it!

-In here.
-Put it in.

Open the bag and throw it in!

Fuck.

Go!

Shots fired at a tool market.

Eliminate all suspects on sight.

Step on it!

-Hurry!
-All right!

Chang-ju.

You all right?

Chang-ju!

Chang-ju!

Jun-ho.

Hey, Jun-ho!

We need to go.

Get up!

Come on, Jun-ho.

Get up.

Gu Jeong-man's location confirmed.
Proceeding with arrest.

All firearms used in recent shootings

have been traced
to the gang arrested today.

The police stated
they would make every effort

to find the remaining unrecovered guns.

The police who dismantled
the illegal firearms network…

Come on. Is this seriously how it ends?

Would you like to

see for yourself?

This is

your daughter, right?

That's…

That's not my daughter.

Pardon?

I said that's not my daughter.

I know this is hard,

but please take a closer look.

That's not my daughter.

MY DAUGHTER

Please.

Pick up just once. Please.

My daughter packed another bland lunch,
even though no one asked her to.

It's healthy food.

Make sure to eat it all.

All right.

She's insisting on moving out now.

She says work-life balance
is important or something.

Why does she have to get a loan
just to get a jeonse and move out?

-For crying out loud.
-Who do we have here?

Goodness, it's my daughter.
My dear Se-yeong.

I told you to check properly.

I checked and called,
but I can't reach them.

That's why I came to you for help.

-You think the police are PIs?
-Whatever.

Se-yeong,

please pick up my call once.

Yeah, okay. All right.

-Good evening, Inspector.
-What brings you here?

-I just need to check something.
-I see.

Things are crazy
because of guns these days.

-You take care, too, okay?
-I will. Thank you.

You take care as well.

-I'll be in touch.
-Sure.

-Be careful.
-Thanks!

How can I help you?

My goodness, Sergeant Lee.

Long time no see.

-You're still alive, then?
-How have you been?

Hey, by the way,
don't you think you're too harsh?

After all our time on the battlefield,
you only show up when you need something.

It hurts me, you know.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

If you feel that bad,
at least treat me to a meal first.

Forget it.
I know you're not the type to do that.

Let's see.

Wow, what's this?

It was found
in the gun recovered from the scene.

Wow, this is a state-of-the-art GPS!

Man, this is dope.
It even has wiretapping features.

So is it wiretapping us now?

No.

This chip alone
supports only GPS tracking.

Wait, were there any other devices?

Other devices… I don't think so.

So, with this device,

you can only track locations.

You need an external device
to enable wiretapping.

"An external device"?

Well, think it over.

There must have been
something more to each gun.

In recent years,
a massive influx of illegal firearms

has been observed in areas
affected by civil and interstate wars.

A CIA investigation
traced the series of incidents

back to the International Rifle Union,
also known as IRU.

Operating primarily in the black market,

it is a vast organization
that illegally supplies weapons

to countries or groups
that cannot acquire them legally.

Additionally, they are known
to wield immense influence,

extensively lobbying US politicians
and multinational corporations

and making them nearly untouchable.

This is Blue Brown.

He has been identified

as the key figure overseeing and managing
all aspects of firearm distribution

currently occurring in South Korea.

How many firearms are in the country now?

The current estimate
is around 30,000 firearms.

What? Did you just say 30,000?

It was revealed
that no courier services were used

in the Yu and Jeon incidents.

We're working to trace where and how
these firearms were stored and moved,

but it's proving difficult.

If they smuggle them in
and don't use couriers,

how do they distribute so many firearms
across the country?

So this is where you were hiding.

Hey!

How dare you leave the station
without permission!

I'm sorry.

My shift is over,

and I haven't been home all week.

I just wanted to grab some clean socks.

Just wash them and put them back on.

Are you a complete idiot?

I just got chewed out because of you.

Go wipe down all the IV poles
and dressing trolleys now.

I swear, everything you do
just pisses me off.

If your brain's not working,
at least use your body!

Come on, Nurse Yu-jin!
Let's just go, okay?

Fucking bitch.

Just seeing her pisses me off.

I can't stand her.

Hey.

What would happen
if everyone in Korea had a gun?

Sorry?

Aren't you curious?

I'm not sure what you mean…

In the end,
what angers and humiliates people the most

is other people.

Selfish, disrespectful people.

But strangely, when you have a gun,

they act differently.

Are you saying

you would like to change the world
with guns?

Realistically, that's impossible…

Do you know the true power of a gun?

All I'm doing

is pulling this five-millimeter trigger,

yet the sound of the gun
would quickly spread over 500 meters,

striking fear into people's hearts.

And in one way or another,

it provokes a reaction from them.

But what if it wasn't one person

but a hundred pulling the trigger?

Or a thousand people?

Or ten thousand?

In the blink of an eye.

And eventually, that fear

will lead to a new order.

To influence Koreans
who are easily swayed by emotions,

those with a tragic backstory

must be the first to pull the trigger.

So everyone can empathize
with their anger.

So you have only one job.

Get some good footage

so people can witness

the power of a gun.

Who exactly are you people?

Who we are, you and I, isn't important.

What's important is what I do from now on.

That will completely change
the world as we know it.

If my guess is right,

every gun should have a chip like this.

That's how they can monitor
those who have them.

In that case,

what could that external device be?

-Hey, Do.
-Hey, it's me.

Was the address list the only common link
between the shooters?

Nothing else
except their cell phones being hacked.

Cell phones…

Sir, this is Officer Lee Do.
He was my superior in the military.

Officer Lee.

Once the IRU selects a target area,

they leave bullets behind
to mark the start of their operation.

It's a signal for them to distribute guns
and devastate the region.

Do.

Before the gosiwon shooting,

bullets were left
at a nearby rooftop house.

You remember that case, don't you?

Detective Seo!

He had this on his body?

Obviously, these must not be registered.

What was the deceased's job?

The deceased had a criminal record.

Apparently,
he sold children left in a baby box

to foreign brokers 20 to 30 years ago.

Who are you?

Long time no see.

What?

Hey.

I asked who you were!

You haven't changed a bit.

Let's make some money.

Let's see. Blood type AB…

Hey!

Yeah, you.

Come out here.

Come on.

So the bullets you found
in the rooftop house were his signal

that he would devastate
the country that abandoned him.

He's determined to convey his intentions
by any means.

There must be a reason
he approached you, Officer Lee.

I'm not sure about that…

but this was found
in a gun from Gu's gang.

GPS devices like this were hidden
in all distributed guns.

So they used these chips
to track who they gave the guns to?

That's my guess.

It's a state-of-the-art GPS
that can monitor

and wiretap when used
with an activated external device.

I was thinking
we could trace these devices back.

Trace them back?

As you may know,
a common signal might show up

if we check the chips
in the confiscated guns.

The source of that signal
could be the organization's base.

That's a possibility.

Huh? What's going on?

-Huh?
-What is that?

-What's all this?
-Check the screen!

-It's Blue Brown!
-What?

Server team, check!

-Control's not working.
-Yes, sir.

-Trace the hacking route.
-Yes, sir.

Check the server.

Yes, will do.

-It's not working.
-Too many phone users to narrow down.

Determining the location now.

Sir, it looks like someone in here
has a gun.

Now put your hands on your head
and stand up immediately.

Get up now!

Move to the back of the room.

-Don't touch anything.
-Hands on your head.

Now move toward the wall.

Well?

Aren't you happy to see me again?

Well, I was sure

you'd find those chips quickly.

But

that's not what's important right now.

One gun confirmed.

That gun…

Do you think it's the only one?

There are many people in Korea
who want guns.

Here, there, everywhere.

And at 27 Baekju-ro…

27 Baekju-ro.

There's someone about to pull the trigger.

This is 27 Baekju-ro.

I'm just curious

to see what you decide to do.

Decide quickly.

There isn't much time left.

Captain.

Another victim of a jeonse scam
took their own life this morning.

This is already the ninth reported case.

Despite the victims' pleas of desperation,

the authorities are being criticized
for only introducing unrealistic measures.

Victims are demanding harsher penalties
for scammers from the government.

to protect victims…

Captain.

Do.

Do!

-Track the location of this GPS chip.
-Yes, sir.

This is where the GPS got picked up.

-Update me on Blue Brown's location.
-Yes, sir.

Okay, let's go!

CAPTAIN JO

Hey! Let's get wasted!

CANCEL

Got Blue Brown's location?

Blue Brown is in the MS Building
underground parking lot.

-We're not interested.
-Who called a trot singer?

Damn it.

Hey, Do. Se-yeong fell victim

to a jeonse scam, and she…

Do any of you know…

what pain feels like?

-Pain?
-So random.

-Lost your mind?
-Is that the title?

-What the fuck?
-"Pain"?

Why the hell would you enter our room
and say this bullshit?

Hey, piss off.

Seriously, what's this fucking lunatic
talking about?

Get him out of here already.

Son Hyeon-seong, 34 years old.

Seven convictions,
including fraud and illegal gambling.

Cheon Il-su, 35 years old.

Nine convictions,
including fraud and assault.

What the fuck?

You're killing my damn buzz.

Who are you, old man?

Because of people like you,

who feel no guilt leeching off
hardworking, ordinary people…

my precious daughter…

and another innocent person

took their own lives today.

What the hell does your daughter's death

have to do with us?

I came here
after identifying my daughter's body.

Don't you dare insult my daughter's death.

What are you waiting for?
Get this old man's mug out of here.

So what? Huh?

What do you want? Did we kill her?

No, we didn't kill her. Fuck.

So why the hell
are you crashing our party?

What the fuck do you want us to do?

What do you want from us?

Apologize at my daughter's funeral.

Apologize? Apologize, my ass.

Did your daughter ask you to do this?

Unless you wanna join your daughter
in the morgue,

just shut the fuck up
and piss off, motherfucker.

I said piss off.

Piss off already.

Piss off now.

-Now.
-Who's the old guy?

-Don't fucking mind it.
-Piss off.

-It's pissing me off.
-Hey!

Hey!

Where the fuck are you going?

What the fuck? That bastard is crazy!

Someone died…

Hey, don't shoot! Fuck!

…yet you people don't feel any guilt.

There is no hope left for you.

You, outside! Call the police!
