THIS EPISODE CONTAINS
GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE,

WHICH SOME VIEWERS MAY FIND DISTURBING.

Is this the person?

Could you check out
the other addresses as well?

Yes, just read them out.

13-1 Seojung-ro.

319-2 Changdong-ro.

ORDERER ADDRESS LIST

417-1 Sanggok-ro.

27 Daewon 3-ro.

21 Mijeong-ro.

Oh. This person was identified
at all the addresses you just gave me.

Officer Lee, it's me.

I checked it out, and that guy
was at all the addresses you gave me.

Okay, got it. Thanks.

Come on, cheer up.
Aren't you happy to see me, huh?

Everyone okay?

You kids okay?

You're not hurt?

No.

We… we seem to be fine.

That's a relief. Get the students out
of the building right away.

Yeah.

Hey.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

G… Gyu-jin, man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Gyu-jin.

Hold on.

I have no way of knowing…

everything you've been through.

Except what you're about to do…

is only gonna hurt you in the end.

Don't act like you understand me.

It's too late.

It isn't too late.

If you can tell me how difficult

things have been for you,

then I'll be able to help you.

I wanna hear what you've got to say.

I mean that.

But before anything,

you need to put the gun down.

And then we can talk.

Think you can do that?

That asshole…

He's just a total piece of shit.

Thank you for telling me.

You took the high road, Gyu-jin.
Thank you.

Thank you. You did so well.

You did the right thing.

Hey, my son is in there!

I need to get in!

How do I get in?

Seong-jun!

Oh my God, Seong-jun!
What happened?! Oh my God!

Seong-jun, wake up! It's Mom!
I'm here! Please wake up! Look at me!

What on earth happened in there,
for God's sake? Get your hands off me!

I'm here! I'm here!

Hey! Don't you touch me!

Seong-jun! Seong-jun, it's me! Dad's here!

God! God!

Ma'am, don't push. You can't go inside.

-What the hell happened?
-Everybody, stand back, please!

Gyu-jin! Gyu-jin! Oh, sorry!

I… No, I… I'm… No, I'm his mom.

-I'm sorry, you can't see him.
-Hey, no! I'm his mom!

-Gyu-jin! Hey! Let me go!
-I'm sorry.

-You can't go over there.
-But I'm his mom!

-I'm sorry.
-Gyu-jin! What's wrong?

Why are you over there?
Gyu-jin, what's happening?

Are you in trouble?

Please tell me you didn't do this!

Gyu-jin! No!

Gyun-jin, no! No, no!

Why are you getting into that police car?

Gyu-jin!

No! No!

Gyu-jin!

Detective Seo.

Yeah, go ahead.

Everything is set for the arrest.

All detectives are in position.
Should we go for it?

Tell everyone
to hold their positions for a bit.

Don't worry,
I'll take you straight to Jeon Won-seong.

Don't move.

Hey!

I caught him.

Just a piece of paper

and a bunch of bullets.

Where is that list of addresses now?

I think I threw it out.

All the people who are getting those guns,

maybe to all of them,

a gun actually could equal
justice and power.

Right there.
There's a high school kid on that list.

Shouldn't we go check?

Kids have to turn their phones in
before class.

GYEONGIN SEOBU POLICE STATION
DETECTIVE SEO

ONCE THE SITUATION IS OVER,
ARREST MOON BAEK

Do, everyone's ready.

Should we get him?

All right, everyone. We're going now.

Copy that.

Team two, move! Team two, move!

Huh? What?

Where did he go?

Where did that bastard go?

-Did you see him?
-No, we didn't.

All right, block the main gates
and side exits.

Okay.

-Secure the exits!
-This way!

You three! Over here!

Officer Lee.

I just received
some background information

on Moon Baek from Dongwol Industries.

But he isn't the guy we met.

ORDERER ADDRESS LIST

LEE DO

Unfortunately,
South Korea can no longer be called

a gun-free country.

Citizens are becoming increasingly anxious
as deadly shootings continue to occur.

A mass shooting occurred
at a local high school.

The shooting follows two recent incidents,

one of which took place at a gosiwon
and another at a police station.

Earlier,
a convenience store in Gyeonggi Province

was robbed at gunpoint.

The incident took place
at approximately 2:00 a.m. at the store…

Although opinions vary
with regard to the source of the guns,

as well as who may be behind…

Citizens call on
the government to take action

against the rash of mass shootings.

-Where are the guns coming from?
-Do you know who's behind it?

-What safety measures…
-Commissioner.

How many more shootings will there be?

There are more guns, right?
People are paralyzed with fear.

So are there more guns out there or not?

Or are you in the dark about that as well?

Speculation and conjecture aren't helpful.

You will just have to trust the police
and be patient.

Hey. He's coming. He's coming.

-Sir.
-Sir.

I got a call from the police
earlier today.

Listen. I know that we're not exactly
law-abiding fellows at this table,

but if you wanna continue
making your living here in South Korea,

then there's one thing that you must
never, ever get involved in.

And that is guns.

Don't you think it's a good thing?

I mean no disrespect, sir,
but how long can we go on like this?

Shouldn't we be moving away from knives?
Join the rest of the world?

Assault, fraud, murder, drugs.
All of those crimes are settled in court.

But guns aren't.

Because then it's a military issue.

Exactly.

The second we get our hands on guns,
they'll put us down like dogs.

Oh shit, man.

One wrong move
and those guys'll want my ass.

So what should we do
with all those guns in storage?

Hey.

Call that cop I hate, would you?

Yes, boss.

Are you kidding me?!

You were all at the scene,
yet you failed to apprehend one guy?

Have you all gone blind or something?

I want you to do whatever it takes to find
that bastard and bring him in here.

I don't care how many addresses,
you better collect all those guns.

One more shooting

and all of us will be turning in
our badges. Do you understand me?

Have I made myself clear?

Yes, sir.

Lee Do,

you're back to work starting today.

I'll deal with the paperwork.
Now go join the rest of the team.

GONG SEOK-HO

God dammit. He seems eager, doesn't he?

Here.

This is an actual gun.

You come any closer and I'll shoot.
I'll do it.

Shit, don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Where'd you get this gun?

Ah, jeez.

I bought a club
from this meth dealer I know. Mr. Kim.

He sold it to me real cheap.

And I just happened to find these
in the storage room.

And where is this Mr. Kim now?

I have no clue! How the hell would I know?

When I found them, I thought,
"Oh, is this guy trying to screw me over?"

I wanted to end him myself.

But, god dammit,
I got no clue where he is.

-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
-You expect me to believe that?

Ow! Okay, okay, okay, just wait!
Hey, hey. Hold on a minute.

Here, just look at this.

Ow! Shit, man!

Look. I've got a guy named Gu Jeong-man.
He works for me, does my clean-up jobs.

Well, it just so happens that the guy
you're looking for is part of his crew.

And I've got no clue how he knew.

But he was loitering
near the storage room,

exactly where the guns were.

So what does it mean?

All those bastards are
looking for guns right now.

You get it? Make sense?

So why are you showing me
all your cards and coming clean?

Because I couldn't believe
there were guns and I didn't know!

If I'm about to get myself shot,

then I'm not gonna sit around
and do nothing.

I'm willing to cooperate with you
on everything,

as long as you keep me and my club
out of this little situation, Officer Lee.

I would never mess around with guns.

I'm just an innocent bystander.

Okay?

Come on. You already took them all
the last time you were here.

-Who did?
-The police?

They showed me their badges.
I turned the guns over.

So why are you here again?

-Hey.
-What?

Would anyone other than us
have come by here?

No, we're the ones in charge of this area.

I did my part,
so figure it out yourselves.

Okay. Well, could we just--

-Sir, we've never been here before.
-I already did.

-So I just have to ask you.
-Come on, I did. Hey, no way!

This is ridiculous. Man…

Your people already took it.
Why are you asking for it again?

This is very serious, sir.
If you're lying,

you'll be in a lot of trouble.
Just give us the gun.

Man! You police are unreal, you know?
That's it. I'm done.

Hang on, sir. Just wait.
You never gave us any gun, sir.

Sir! Wait a minute! Just--

So how many guns have you found?

We've collected guns from about half
the addresses on the lists we have.

Only half? What are you gonna do

if a madman starts shooting up
some place tomorrow?

I'm sorry, sir.
I have every officer trying to find them

as quickly as possible.

What about those lowlifes
trying to get guns

by impersonating the police?

-Yes, we're addressing that as well.
-Right.

Starting today,
the Joint Investigation Office

will be handling this case.

Transfer your investigative materials
over to them,

and stay out of it from now on.

Please, Commissioner.

JOINT INVESTIGATION HQ

The Ministry of Health and Welfare

issued a manual on how to treat
victims of mass shootings

at several key hospitals
around the region.

As a result, the medical…

Ugh! Bread.

Doesn't she know I get heartburn
when she brings flour-based things?

God, could she be
any more thickheaded and oblivious?

If she was able to get herself a job

after graduating from
some backwoods dump of a college,

she should at least be able to buy lunch.

Right? God!

How many times do we have to repeat
something before she understands?

It's like she wants everyone to know
she went to a bad school.

Mm-hmm.

I know you're busy,

so I'll order your fave later.
Mango bingsu.

Aw, you're the best.

I'm going to work out
with a personal trainer

starting next week,

so would you mind
taking me off night shifts for a while?

You hardly did
any night shifts last month.

Aw, come on.
You're the head nurse. Please?

Oh dear. All right, it's okay.

I'll make adjustments to the schedule.

At least we've got someone else
who can take those shifts.

Oh, thank you so much!

I'll go ahead
and order that bingsu right away.

I've been hearing about people who are
scrambling to buy look-alike firearms

or even gun parts
from foreign retailers online.

I think we need to start
having frank discussions

about legalizing gun ownership.

What do you mean?

You actually think we should be
legalizing guns here in South Korea,

one of the safest countries in the world?

What I'm saying is that
instead of banning gun ownership outright,

we need to legislate it,
institutionalize it--

Well, this certainly isn't something
we can resolve today.

And now, since we are in the midst

of an unprecedented slew
of mass shootings,

I want to ask any of our viewers who might
currently be in possession of a firearm

to please report it
to your nearest police station

as soon as possible.

So it looks like
Gong Seok-ho has been cooperating

with the police investigation.

The guns that we couriered
are in transit now.

We also confirmed the guns
have been used in other neighborhoods.

And what's Gu Jeong-man doing now?

Looks like he's only been able to collect
about half of the guns we distributed.

Half of them?

Aw. Someone should be coming out
with a bang right about now.

We put all those guns out
for people to use.

So where are all the street shootouts
or police showdowns?

Come on, guys.
Somebody do something already.

Nice, huh?

Hey, this isn't a toy, asshole.

I said this isn't a toy, you dumbass.
Stop fooling around.

-Oh yeah! Sweet.
-Do your military service?

-This one's mine!
-Say that again, jerk.

You moron.

Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Wait, that's not it?

Hey, man,
do not make me repeat myself again.

Hey, do you have trust issues
or something? Huh?

I already told you. We are
the best money launderers in town, yeah.

So you want goods?

Man, don't you know
that goods equals cash?

We launder it all, and we don't care
if the money's a little sketchy,

somewhat shady, or downright illegal.
So stop worrying and send it over, okay?

Jeez.

Whoa, sir, is that a cigar you've got?

Yeah, this was a gift.

Apparently, cigars are a symbol
of status and style.

All the way from Cuba.

What do you think?

-Cool, huh?
-You look super cool.

Here.

Want a drag?

God, you lame-ass.

You're not supposed to inhale cigar smoke.
Give it back.

Here you are.

Jeong-man, we gotta clean you up.
You're looking rough around the edges.

Oh, by the way,

I've got a big job coming up,
and it's gonna be tough,

so I'm gonna need you to work this one.

What kind of big job is it?

I'm gonna take over
all of Mr. Kim's businesses.

What?

-Mr. Kim, the one--
-Yup, Mr. Kim.

The one you and I both know well.

We need to clean all this up now.

Did you know Mr. Kim was selling
something incredible he got from overseas,

and apparently,
it's a total fucking cash cow?

-You hear me?
-Yeah, but all of Mr. Kim's businesses?

-That seems too big for us.
-Ah-ah.

My orders came straight from the top.
Now we just need to take care of Mr. Kim.

And aren't you the expert in that area,
Jeong-man?

Sir, I was thinking

that once this job is done

that maybe you could give

me and the boys
one of our own businesses to run.

Hey.

Have some faith in me, would you?

If this job goes well,

don't you think
I'll give you at least one?

So are you in or not?

I'm in. Yes, I… I'll do it.

That's my guy!

My Jeong-man!

You know,
you're the only one that I can trust.

Hey, give me those.

Come on, hyeong.
What are you waiting for?

We've got guns now,
so let's go kill those fuckers.

You know something?

A lion waits for the perfect time to kill,
even if its prey is small.

Not because it's weak, but

'cause it doesn't wanna make a mistake.

And when the time is right,

then we need to do it all at once.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Gu Jeong-man knows where Mr. Kim is.

-Are you sure?
-Am I sure? Jesus, what…

If you don't believe me,

then why don't you go ask
Gu Jeong-man yourself?

Mr. Kim had all of these guns?

Yes.

Then Mr. Kim is responsible
for distributing all the guns

used in the shootings so far?

-By hiding them in parcels?
-Yes, that's correct.

Where is this Kim bastard now?

We're currently unable
to locate Mr. Kim, sir.

If we use Gu Jeong-man
and Mr. Gong to find Mr. Kim for us,

then we'll be able to find the real people
who are distributing the guns.

All right. Come up with a plan for it,

and then keep Joint Investigations updated
on how it's all going.

Yes, sir.

DOCUMENT FOR APPROVAL

I need your signature.

Hey.

Didn't I tell you
to stay out of this case?

Commissioner, these guns are
continuing to pop up all over the city.

Gunfire is ringing across Seoul
every minute.

Three incidents have been reported
already today.

We have to find those guns
as soon as we can.

We need to cut them off at the pass.

BACKGROUND CHECK REPORT

Officer Lee Do found the man responsible
for the illegal distribution of the guns.

Commissioner, we need you to put
all your focus on locating this man.

And meanwhile, we're going to try to find
as many of those guns as we possibly can

and hopefully get a lead on him.

An announcement from HQ.
All officers must be on emergency alert.

We now have a lead on suspects
impersonating police to obtain firearms.

Please collect all firearms
at the listed addresses.

I repeat, all officers must be
on emergency alert today. We now…

MY DAUGHTER

The person you are calling is unavailable.

Please try again later.

What do you mean,
you don't have it? That's insane!

Hey, don't you…
don't you dare put your hands on me!

-Yeah, that's right. You can go to hell!
-I want my money back now!

-Back off!
-Don't you…

Dad, I was wondering.

Do you think
you could help me out a little bit?

Huh? Why?

Your pension. Do you think
you could maybe get an advance?

Oh, have you completely lost it this time?

-Now you're just trying to butter me up.
-I'm serious, Dad. Can you help?

-I don't have it.
-Excuse me.

-So file a report with the police!
-Sir, could you…

-Sir, could you help me?
-What?

Sir, please, I need my money.

Without it, I'm totally done for.

Please have some mercy for me, sir.
I'm begging you, please.

-Please.
-Let go, damn it!

My dad worked for his pension
all his life.

-That money's all he had.
-Go ahead and sue us. Now get out! Jeez.

Please have some mercy on us.

Please, sir!

Hey! Mr. Gong is here.

-What the hell's he doing here?!
-Hide the fucking guns!

-Oh shit! Come on!
-Hey. Come on! Hurry up, hurry up!

We're fucked, man!

-Come on, move! Quickly! Come on.
-Hurry, hurry! Go, go, go!

Hey.

Hey! Jeong-man, what's up?

Hello, sir.

What's with the vibe?

What were you all doing,
and why so out of breath?

What?

Oh, well, we were all just cleaning up.

Ah!

Oh, hey. You can't expect too much
from these old buildings.

Live and let live.

We've never met before, have we, boys?

Hello, sir.

Nice to meet you.

Have a seat, sir.

I spotted a really good bakery
on the way here.

That's nice.

Right.

Thank you, sir.

Remember when you asked me
if I knew your boys' names?

What?

Well, I felt really bad about it,

and I just assumed
there would be about 20 of them.

That should be enough to share,
shouldn't it?

Yes. This is more than enough.

Pass these around and share them.

Jeong-man.

Can we have a talk?

Give us a minute, would you?

Thank you for the bread.

Of course! You're welcome!

Jeong-man.

Yeah?

How do you think
Mr. Kim's doing these days?

I miss that guy.

He's still buried deep down
in the hole that you dug, right?

Why are you asking about Mr. Kim
all of a sudden?

You know better than anyone how he is.

You're right.

I do.

Ta-da!

This is Mr. Kim's cell phone.

Those stupid morons brought me his phone
but didn't remember to get the password.

This phone has
all of his clients' numbers.

Except I can't get any cash from them
without access.

Oh, well…

I don't know the password either.

I know.

But you, Jeong-man, have a way
to unlock this phone, don't you?

Me?

Cut off all of Mr. Kim's fingers
and bring them to me.

Since you know where his body is.

The sooner, the better. You get me?

You know,
before his fingerprints rot away.

Hey. So I went to suss him out a bit,

and it looks like Gu Jeong-man's
definitely hiding Mr. Kim.

I told him to come by the club tomorrow,
so you'd better be ready.

And don't forget to leave my name
out of this, you get me?

Shithead.

Jesus.

Hey, Jeong-man.

So tell me. What'd Mr. Gong say?

Huh?

Why are you staring at me?
Just spit it out.

Mr. Kim, do you trust me?

Hey, what kind of question is that?

Of course I do.
Now, what did that bastard say?

He wants me to cut off
all of your fingers,

and then bring them to him.

Let's go.

All right, let's go.

My neck.

Yes, boss.

Gu Jeong-man showed up
to get Mr. Kim's fingers.

Okay.

Keep a close eye on him.

Yes, I'm on it.

Jeez!

If you get buried out there,
no one will ever find your body.

Apparently,
they're looking for Mr. Kim's fingers.

What are all those morons doing?

I've got no clue.

Sir,

why do you seem so worried
about Gu Jeong-man?

If he bugs you that much,

I can just take care of him quietly.

Yeah?

You don't know what Gu Jeong-man's
real strength is, do you?

Please. That fucker's got no strengths.

Gu Jeong-man cares so much about his boys.

Give it back.

Never mind.
You can keep your cheap smokes.

-Let's see the photo, then.
-Sure.

Wow!

Wonderful.

No one can do a clean-up quite like you,
my friend.

You must have a pretty strong stomach.
Here you go. For your trouble.

Thank you.
I mean, I do what I can to make money.

I've got all those boys to take care of.

Even though he's been doing this
for over a decade,

his group of guys keeps getting bigger,
not smaller.

Yeah, but they're just a bunch
of scrawny little gofers, aren't they?

That's the most brilliant thing about it.

Do you know anything about
those scrawny little gofers?

People with guns are roaming the streets.

Would you be able to fend off someone
you don't recognize

and whose name you don't know?

When they come at you with a gun?

That's why

the best option is to use that cop
to get rid of Gu Jeong-man.

But what if he confesses
everything he did for you to the police?

What?

Did I say I'd turn him over alive?

Just watch.

This is my best plan yet.

Come on, hurry up.

-You load it all up?
-Yeah.

I think that's everything. Come on.

It's me. Gu Jeong-man's crew
was digging all morning,

and now they're on the move again.

Yes, boss.

Those assholes just showed up
at the public bath.

The public bath?

That's their little routine,
taking a bath after they dig.

Keep an eye on them
until Gu Jeong-man leaves,

then head to his office.

I'll join you when I'm done here.

Why, you shit-eating bastards. Hey!

Get out now!

You guys are
just a bunch of fucking idiots.

Hey!
Mr. Gong is waiting for Mr. Kim's fingers.

Hurry up and go see him.

Jeong-man.

Turn that hot water up high.

Hey, get out of the way, dumbass.

I'm trying to get a good look
at his thing.

Wow, his thing is as tiny as shit.

What a fucking loser!

YAKAM TOURIST HOTEL

What the hell is taking
those guys so long?

I don't know. But this doesn't look like
a public bath house.

Are these assholes just messing with us?

Shit.

That's Gu Jeong-man!

Detective Seo,
Gu Jeong-man is heading to the club now.

GU JEONG-MAN
I'M ON MY WAY WITH MR. KIM'S FINGERS

He's here.

Everyone, check your firearms
and bulletproof vests.

A shooting may occur, so be on high alert.

Okay, be on your guard.

Well! Come on in.

What is it?

I bet you're surprised.

Gong, you stupid fucking bitch.

You wanted these guys, right? Huh?

So

are you still gonna cut off my fingers?

No.

I don't use knives.

Now what?

Why don't you bring him
all your fingers yourself?

I'll even give you a gun.

Gu Jeong-man, that motherfucker…

Shit! The fuck was that?!

Hey.

How do you like this thing?

Huge, right?
