(This is a work of fiction)

Hey!

Shut that dog up!

My kid's studying, so keep it down!

Hey!

- You jerk! - At least three times a day,

during roughly 35 years of our working lives,

we face about 40,000 conflicts, big and small.

Move your car. Why are you making such a scene?

The moment people can't contain their anger,

- Hey! - disputes and fights break out.

In those hair-trigger moments,

it's best to read the room and walk away.

That's what Mr. Shinsaid.

Are you looking down on me because I have a tiny shop?

Just take it all back!

Fine, I'll just stop getting my supplies from you.

How dare that old hag point at me? I've let things slide for a regular.

Pay me what you owe right now.

Who are you to call me an old hag? You have no right to call me that.

When did I talk to you like that?

If you take someone's goods, you have to pay for them, right?

You've got to be kidding me.

Mr. Shin!

Go to the police station and get the police.

He keeps leaving junk in my store. All he gives me is worthless trash!

And now he's trying to play dumb about it!

And that's an excuse to not pay for three months?

Call the cops or whoever you want! Let's see who comes out on top!

Okay, you just wait! He's making the call!

- Hello? - What?

Is this the Namhyung Foods head office?

I'd like to ask a question. I'm a loyal customer of your milk,

but it seems the local distributor...

is supplying items that are about to expire.

Can you tell me what's going on?

- Excuse me? - Well...

The distributor's name?

(Maheon-dong Distributor)

Sir, you're the Maheon-dong distributor, right?

When did I ever give her expired products?

When did I say you gave her expired products?

I said they only had a few days left.

Hello? They hung up.

(Ttoli Super)

Oh, Attorney Oh.

Let me ask you something.

A friend of mine bought some goods on credit,

but she's three months behind. What's the best course of action?

Debt collection?

Oh my goodness.

A provisional seizure.

- Oh, that thing. - That's horrible.

You mean they put seizure notices on the goods so they can't be sold?

What? What seizure notices?

This guy must have had some spoiled milk.

Calling me this early in the morning just to talk nonsense.

Okay. Got it.

Hey, how long have you known this guy?

We've been doing business for over ten years.

You should take this chance to pay what you owe and cut ties with him.

He'll be fired by corporate anyway.

What?

And you, sir, instead of causing a ruckus here,

you should just sue her. That's the cleanest way.

Like you said, it's not like the products are expired,

and there's still time left, so if you sue,

you should be able to collect on your unpaid balance right away.

Come on, it's not enough money to go to court over.

But him getting fired seems a bit harsh.

Your son just got into college this year.

Why are you worried about that?

Gosh, I have kids of my own, so of course I'm worried.

Unbelievable. You were about to kill each other.

Fine, I'm out of it then. Shake hands and make up, or don't.

Just make up.

- You don't sue someone you know. - Right.

Right, you know each other.

Stop making a scene and just shake on it already.

- You don't sue your neighbors. - That's right.

- Oh, honestly. - Make up.

- If you have any fresh produce, - Let's go.

make sure she's your first delivery.

And if you have any extras, give them to Ttori Super first.

And you.

If you owe me anything, pay your tab on time.

Everyone here knows you're loaded. Hey, kid, you know it too, right?

- Yes. - Right.

As long as the produce is good, I always pay right on the spot.

I'm not the type to stiff someone on a bill.

It's not like I did it on purpose. Sunshine Mart in the next town...

keeps placing huge orders and then canceling.

So I'm left with all this extra stock.

Meat processed in unsanitary places with no regard for standards,

and food made with ingredients that are no longer fresh,

- are being sold unregulated. - Let's see.

- A cramped, airless workshop... - Goodness.

In a place with inadequate sanitary management...

What a son of a wench.

People who mess with the food we eat like that,

they should have every single one of their fingers broken.

You watch this show too?

Yeah, it's pretty good. I watch this, dramas and reruns.

Here, two dollars.

- How it ends up in our markets... - Mr. Shin.

- What? - and who's behind those...

A little something extra!

You might be carelessly...

You really are the best.

Oh, honestly. Thank you so much for today.

- Sure. - On-Site Pursuit starts now.

(By your side, sharing happiness)

(Your neighbor, HI Group)

(Ttori Super)

(Shin's Project)

- It stings. - What on earth happened to you two?

- Did you two fight? - I do not fight.

You can tell he can't fight just by looking at him.

I graduated top of my police class. I have a 3rd-degree Taekwondo belt.

It's not that I can't fight. I choose not to.

What did you say?

Police university valedictorian. He's just bragging.

What a show-off.

When was I bragging? I was just stating a fact.

So was I.

Goodness.

But aren't you calling the cops?

It's obvious they're backed by someone.

If we call the cops, the plate on the truck is probably fake...

and the driver's long gone.

Still, we can't just let this go. That was attempted murder.

Who says I'm letting it go? I never let bad guys get away.

I'm going to put them in misery.

Now,

I risked my life to get this.

This is it.

I'm busy as hell.

What is it? I told you, no deliveries before 6.

Seriously.

(No Memory Card)

What?

- What is it? - No, it's just...

Aren't those the guys who showed up at the convenience store?

Hold on.

Right.

- It is. It's him. - Let me see.

Couldn't we find them by tracing this license plate?

- Let's take this to the police. - Pillip.

They're trying to kick out the locals to build a resort...

run us over with a truck.

And they do it all without getting their own hands dirty.

This is impossible without someone powerful backing them.

How can you investigate if you don't know who's pulling the strings?

Do you know what's scarier than the law?

What? Your fists?

To me, nothing is scarier than the law.

That's your problem, kid.

What's so wrong with living by law and order?

The problem is that you don't even see the problem.

Let me see it too.

I really think it's a match.

Like I said, he's out on patrol. He's not in.

I'm hanging up now.

What, is it that guy again?

I'll handle it, sir.

This is Maheon Police, Seobu Substation.

Listen. I told you, he's out on patrol.

You're making things very difficult for me.

I've got the phone. What do you want?

Hey, you little punk. Who do you think you are?

Officer Choi? You think this cop's a pushover,

but I'm a Senior Police Officer. The Captain and I came up together.

What?

I'm coming to your house right now, so you'd better not go anywhere.

I'm going to throw you in jail for obstruction of justice.

You get out, I'll throw you back in. Get out again. I'll do it again.

And for the rest of my career, until the day I retire,

if you so much as step one foot over the crosswalk line,

I'll bury you in fines and jail. Understand?

Got it?

Unbelievable.

- How can I help you? - Hi.

What are you doing here?

I didn't realize you were working at a substation.

Well, you know, one thing led to another.

It's already been 15 years.

Is it because of what happened back then?

I suppose so.

It wasn't your fault, Senior Police Officer Choi.

Please, just call me Detective Choi.

On second thought, I'm not a detective anymore.

- Just call me Officer Choi, then. - But just a minute ago,

you said you were Sr. Officer Choi, and came up with the Captain.

There's a guy who calls us when he's drunk.

But he calls every single day instead of sleeping at home.

He just throws fit, and I was too angry before.

Anyway, what brings you here?

I'll get straight to the point.

I have a favor to ask you, Detective Choi.

I'd like to ask you to run a background check on this guy.

Run a background check on this man.

Yes, sir.

(2023 HI Gangchun Resort Business Plan)

Thank you.

Mr. Shin.

- Mr. Shin. - What is it?

He agreed.

Kim Young Ho has agreed to settle. It must be because of your file.

Because of his show, merchants left and the resort is being built.

So he's not entirely without a conscience.

You have the settlement agreement ready, right?

Here it is.

(Master Cleaners)

You didn't leave anything out, did you?

Yes. It's perfect, right down to the last period.

- Good. Hurry up and go. - Aren't you coming with me?

I've got something to take care of.

What? What could be more important than this?

Law and order is your field. I'd just be bored.

- But still... - Get out, kid.

(Mapo-gu: commercial rent security deposits)

Hey. Get up, you punk.

- How much did they pay you? - What?

For adding the maggots to the salted seafood and leaking it to the press,

and staging the whole thing,

- how much did they pay you? - Let go of me.

Let go!

I'm going to call the cops.

What? Go ahead. Go on, call them.

Hard to get a job with a record. What will you do then?

So, did you make a killing? HI Group has deep pockets.

- Don't say you settled for peanuts. - Well...

- What's HI? - You idiot.

Hey, you took the money without even knowing who it was from?

No, an older guy I know just said if I filmed a video and sent it to him,

he'd cover the security deposit for a shop in Seoul.

I'm telling you, I had no idea it would be on the news.

Unbelievable.

I feel so sorry for that poor woman, suffering because of a bum like you.

- It's all my grandma's fault, okay? - What?

Have you seen my grandma's fingers? They're all gnarled and crooked.

She squats to make salted seafood, and falls over moving heavy vats.

I begged her to please stop,

but she says she'll keep at it until I get married.

She must be alive until then, right? She's all I have.

Then you should've taken over the business for her, you punk.

Of all the pathetic excuses. Seriously.

Hey, this call just saved you. Got it?

I confirmed what you asked me about.

Look at Oh Jin Ho's family records. He has a wife and one daughter.

(Oh Jin Ho Profile)

(Wife: Kim Young Hee, Daughter: Oh Ah Young)

(Runs "Young Hee's Dumplings" at Namdong Market)

Mr. Shin.

Did it go well?

Yes, here are the settlement papers. Are you going to the courthouse now?

No. That's for the merchants.

- You go to the courthouse. - Then what about you, Mr. Shin?

Me? I'm going to get some payback.

I told you, didn't I? I'm going to put them in misery.

What's the plan?

- I'll draft the settlement. - Do you like dumplings?

- No. - Then stay here, kid.

What?

That's my car.

- Oh, you're the owner of this car? - I am.

I see you don't have a resident parking permit.

You're not supposed to park here.

There are no cars around.

- Now move it, I'm about to leave. - Hey, hold on a second.

License, please.

I said I'm leaving.

Well, you have to leave, obviously,

but a violation is a violation, so I need to see your license.

Look, if it's a parking violation, just write me a ticket.

What?

You think you can do whatever you want 'cause you're a cop?

Hold on.

You just assaulted a police officer and obstructed him while on duty.

Mr. Oh Jin Ho.

How do you know my name?

Hey! Stop right there!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

You're just making this harder. Stop resisting.

Get over here!

Get out of the way!

Don't come any closer!

Oh no.

I'll kill her!

Please, help me.

Oh Jin Ho.

Drop the knife.

Would you drop it if you were me?

I'm going to kill you all!

Mommy!

You have the right to remain silent,

and whatever you spew can be used against you,

and you have the right to a lawyer. Got it? You reckless punk.

You dare pull a darn hostage stunt in the market in broad daylight?

You're dead meat.

Let me go! Get off me!

Put yourself in my shoes. Do you think I'd let you go?

I got you.

(Maheon Police Seobu Substation)

- We're heading out on patrol. - Alright. Be careful.

So, is he here alone?

Yes.

He asked to call his lawyer, but now he won't say a peep.

Please, just let me see him for a moment.

Officers from the Maheon police station will be here soon.

That guy's got a long rap sheet,

and since we caught him red-handed, it's a slam dunk.

I'll also give them the dashcam video you gave me as evidence.

Three minutes is all I need, Detective Choi.

Please. I'm asking you.

This is a police station, you have the right to remain silent.

But I'm not a cop.

So listen to me carefully, then decide whether to remain silent.

There's a famous dumpling shop at Namdong Market in Gyeonggi.

I don't know if you've ever been. The owner is going through a lot...

supporting her daughter.

Her daughter is studying to be a public officer.

She takes the first bus to Noryangjin,

attends lectures all day,

and takes the last bus home.

It's about a five-minute walk home from the bus stop,

and that neighborhood isn't very safe.

There's no CCTV, and there aren't many streetlights.

What are you talking about?

Those two...

are about to be hit by a truck.

Your wife. Your daughter.

They're going to die.

That would only be fair, wouldn't it?

There were two people in my car that day.

That's all I came to say. I'll see you at the funeral.

Hey, wait!

What is it?

Not going to use your right to remain silent?

Yes.

(Gangchun Salted Seafood Market)

I overheard him at the hospital. When I confronted him later,

he said he was ordered to do it.

It's all my fault.

I felt so bad for him, having to be raised by his old grandmother.

So I spoiled him rotten.

That's right.

We have to catch the jerk who made my grandson do this,

and have Gi Beom...

pay for his crime.

Is the purchase of that shopping center finalized?

Well, there are one or two left, but it's pretty much a done deal.

I heard a good spot opened in Mapo. You should go check it out.

I already took care of everything with the realtor there.

Thank you so much.

By the way, is it true they're building a resort in Gangchun?

Well...

It's a global company called HI.

It's a global company, and I'm in the know.

Usually, for big projects like this,

you can't get them done without help from public officials.

I helped out a lot on this one.

- So, what's in it for you then? - Me?

Manager Lee got us the site cheap, and settled the case out of court.

But there is one thing that still bothers me.

Oh, you mean the leak of the resort development plans?

You don't have to worry about that. The contract is legally sound,

and besides, projects like this take years anyway.

There's no evidence. None at all.

Shouldn't you start planning for your kids' studies abroad?

Thank you.

Oh, and I've booked dinner with Mr. Mayor for this week.

Good.

Here you are, Mr. Mayor.

I look forward to working with you.

Don't mention it.

I'm the one who should be asking for your support.

Thanks to HI Group, our Gangchun City...

is being reborn as a tourism and leisure hub.

- To Gangchun City and HI Group! - Cheers!

Hi. What is it?

- What's wrong? - Sir.

Plagued by corruption from the start,

the Gangchun Resort project.

Now that the web of corruption and its masterminds have been exposed!

We, the producers of On-Site Pursuit,

will hunt down every last piece of the truth...

and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

So, was there anything you found strange...

or suspicious at all?

They usually offer a premium on top.

My goodness, look at this ungrateful brat.

Kids these days...

should be punished.

Hey.

Oh Jin Ho told everything.

We have witnesses and evidence, so come along quietly.

You punk. Who do you think I am?

- Let go of me! - Hey, he's making a run for it!

Get that punk!

Last February, we received a tip...

about the moggot seafood and later aired a report about it.

While we meant to raise awareness of poor food distribution,

we have recently discovered...

that the evidence and the tip...

were fabricated.

Due to our team's negligence,

to the merchants who suffered irreparable pain and damage,

we once again offer our deepest apologies.

Furthermore, to ensure this never happens again,

we will be fully responsible...

- We make this solemn promise. - He's amazing.

We promise.

What's so cool about him? That guy is so arrogant.

- But he is amazing. - That doesn't excuse arrogance.

Oh, don't be so petty.

Give credit where credit is due. He produces such an incredible show.

No, Mr. Shin and I are incredible. We caught the culprit for them.

- Unbelievable. - What?

You can't see me on screen, but...

I'm telling you, I was really there! Right, Mr. Shin?

You took a soda from here, didn't you?

- What? - You drank it, right?

I only had one.

- I'm docking you two dollars. - Come on.

But I'm telling you, I was really there.

Okay, so this key...

should be placed facing this way.

- This way? - Yes.

So was there anything you found odd or suspicious?

I think I saw something. Something about pushing merchants out.

Okay, I will now read the settlement agreement.

Article One. The merchants of the Gangchun Cooperative...

will fully cooperate with reporting by TVC's "On-Site Pursuit"...

for their episode on the Gangchun HI Resort corruption.

Article two. TVC Broadcasting Station and Kim Young Ho...

will broadcast an apology for the "Maggots in Salted Seafood" episode.

(Court)

Come in.

- Do you have a trial? - Yes, in ten minutes.

- Did you get the settlement? - Have you seen the news?

The mayor of Gangchun City is out. And the HI Group is being raided.

I pulled off something big, didn't I?

I even got some airtime.

Oh, by the way, The Gangchun folks are a handful.

- They filed another lawsuit? - Another one?

You haven't heard? This time...

it is against the city hall and the HI Group...

for one million dollars in damages each.

Wow, they keep upping the ante.

Hand it over.

What, for nothing?

Remember that noise complaint case involving everyone...

on fifteen from 1 to 15?

That woman who sued everyone in the building.

I went through a lot for you on that one,

and you still haven't paid me what you promised.

(Deposit: 500 Dollars From: Kim Sang Geun)

- Happy now? - With just 500 dollars?

For this job, my medical bills and gas money,

and the cost to junk my car,

I've attached all the receipts.

So you need to reimburse me for those, too.

I was going to bill for his food, but I was nice and took it off.

(Seoul Lawsuit: HI Group Corporate Crimes)

So this is it.

The reason you gave me this job.

It was all because of the HI Group.

I swear on law books, it was for the salted seafood merchants.

You wanted to sway public opinion before the big trial.

You knew I'd make them apologize.

I knew there was more...

You are one scary man.

I'm telling you, that's not it.

I'm telling you, I was truly worried about the merchants.

Whatever. I'm going back to frying chicken.

Pillip and I...

we almost got killed by that truck. Producer Kim Young Ho was right.

You have to dig for the truth until the very end.

That's not what this is!

Darn...

Look at this. Down to the last penny.

This is insane.

Isn't he so photogenic?

Hey! Hey, you're a star now!

- I'm far from being a star, kid. - No!

Look at this, look! See?

"Cop Catches Hostage-Taker With Civilian's Help."

It already has over two million views.

A TV station wants an interview, and there's talk of a commendation.

Let's be honest, you're the one that gathered the proof.

The Maheonseo detectives just swooped in to take the credit.

That's life. Some set the table, and others just come to eat.

Still, you'll be able to return to the Detective Task Force, right?

I've been waiting for 15 years. It's not like I'm an old boy.

By the way, Boss.

How do you think they caught him? There's no way he turned himself in.

Oh Jin Ho?

Is that his name? Oh Jin Ho?

Yes. Apparently, he parked illegally,

and someone reported him.

What?

I just don't get it at all.

How did the orders just dry up completely in a few days?

Hey.

The phone was ringing nonstop last week, right, Pillip?

Well, I must have taken at least a hundred calls myself.

So why did they just suddenly stop cold?

And I ordered a mountain of chicken too.

It's because of that jinx over there.

Who?

Pillip.

What did you do?

Gosh, seriously.

It's a hit! The best in our neighborhood.

You mean 100,000 people are watching him...

eat chicken in a yellow suit, live?

- He's here! - Why?

How should I know? Many are more famous than Kkokkio.

With this many views, he must be making a fortune.

Look at the camera. They're my fans. Say hello. One, two, three...

Some of us spend all day in front of a deep fryer,

frying chicken just to barely make rent.

This time, this is really...

a real eye-opener for me.

Hey, Pillip.

Get ready.

Who is it?

(Chicken Center)

Kkokkio, this is on the house.

On the house?

A small token of our appreciation for being such a loyal customer.

- A special event, you could say. - Excuse me, coming through.

(Donation, 50 dollars, Get lost!)

Hey, you can't just tell people to get lost.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

You know the drill. One, two, three!

Kkokkio!

- See? There you go. - Oh, right.

Everyone, look at the camera.

One, two, three! Kkokkio!

Guys. This party today is for Cho Pillip,

to welcome to our family,

and a birthday party for Lee Si On.

Oh, and it's also a wrap party for that eventful...

Gangchun Seasoned Seafood case,

and also to wish for the continued success of our restaurant.

So, on that note, cheers!

Are you cramming a year's worth of events into one meal?

Cheers.

- Cheers! - Cheers.

Cheers.

- This is nice. - Is it your birthday?

Not for another two weeks.

Hold on. Anyway, with the publicity from that stream,

if orders start pouring in, deliveries will get crazy busy.

Pillip, do you know how to ride a motorcycle?

- No, I've never ridden one before. - What?

Well, I can still make the deliveries, though.

Don't be ridiculous.

You think just anyone can do deliveries?

I mean, there's GPS on my phone. If I get lost, I can just call...

There's a knack to it, you know.

Stop being so full of yourself because of your good looks.

So I'll learn! I guess you can teach me, Si On.

You want to steal my job too? Act your age.

Yes, that's a great idea, Si On.

This is a perfect opportunity. Si On, you give him bike lessons,

and you, Pillip, can tutor Si On.

Hey, Si On. Why don't you finally take your GED?

And maybe even the CSAT.

Forget it. It's hard enough making ends meet.

I don't have time for studying.

Did you just chug that?

Pillip?

Pillip.

- Pillip. - Looks like Si On's drunk again.

- Off three beers? - Hey.

Her limit is two glasses, you punk.

Hey!

You...

Is that...

an American...

name?

Don't call me "you."

There's a limit to my patience...

Pillip.

You're in charge of Si On. Take her home.

- Wait, me? - Ma'am, what's the bill?

- Sir, where does she live? - How much?

(Do not urinate.)

I guess this isn't it.

Is anyone home?

Who is it?

Si On!

Your sister's sleeping. It's okay. I'm one of her coworkers.

Did she have more than two beers?

Grandma's sleeping, so come in quietly.

She must've been exhausted.

- Sir! - What is it?

We have a huge problem!

(Community Service Center)

Number 74? Anyone?

Why aren't they calling my number?

Number 75.

How can I help you?

I'm here to see Mr. Kim.

Na Yeon, could you take this to the Team Leader?

What can I do for you?

Right. Why did you call me, Mr. Kim?

You drag me here for something, and then you make me take a number?

You should have called me sooner! I've been waiting over half an hour.

This is so frustrating.

What's this?

The complainant posting maliciously on the forum for a year.

Hey, Master Shin, can you take care of this for me? Please.

Hey, I'm Master Shin. I fry chicken for a living.

You're a service center manager who's meant to serve the public.

Local elections are coming up. The Mayor is on the District Mayor,

the District Mayor's on the Director and it's all rolled downhill to me.

It must be resolved by month's end. I'm losing sleep over this.

Then just delete them.

When we deleted a few last year, they posted 2 or 3 times more.

They completely flooded the forum.

Then it slowed to maybe 2 or 3 a month,

but since last month, they've been posting 3 or 4 a week.

And on top of all that,

these days, you'll cause an uproar if you delete posts from the forum.

Then resolve their complaint.

If I could, I wouldn't ask you, Master Shin.

With the election so close, the higher-ups fear losing support,

and those of us at the bottom can't do anything.

I seriously think I'm going to die. I'm going to die, I swear.

Goodness.

Do you even know who it is?

It was posted anonymously, but I do have a suspect in mind.

Yes.

This video was just uploaded to the Blue House public forum.

Isn't that Hwang Seong Sik, the mayor of Yongdan City?

Yes. He was abducted this morning. His phone was found at the scene.

What about the kidnapper?

They're not in the video, and the IP address was masked.

What does the kidnapper want?

There are no demands. The post only had one sentence.

- "You will all pay for your sins." - Have you identified the location?

Thank you.

Pillip, you must be loaded. Taking taxis everywhere.

Boss, you told me to commute to a place with no bus service.

What do you mean there's no bus? Did I crawl my way here?

Well, there is one.

Once in the morning, and once in the evening.

Exactly twice a day.

You've got a smart mouth. Always need the last word, right?

So, what brings you here anyway?

To resolve a complaint for a client.

What's this mediation about? Did Judge Kim Sang Geun stop by?

Did he happen to mention me?

About Ms. Lee Si On.

She lives with her grandmother and a younger sibling?

- Her parents aren't around? - Are you interested in Si On?

What? Oh, no.

You told me to tutor her. I have to know her to prepare.

Then give her a level test. Why are you digging into her life?

I'm telling you, it's not like that!

Why are you getting so worked up?

You're being suspicious.

Hello? Anyone home?

Hello?

Is anyone here?

So, who lives here?

The one who made the malicious post about the Community Service Center.

Username WKQCH?

On a Korean keyboard, it spells out "Weed."

He keeps repeating the phrase, "You must pay for your sins."

- So this is where Weed lives? - I'm not sure.

Diesel?

- Boss. - Yes?

That picture you just took. That's ammonium nitrate, right?

- I wonder what they used it for. - Isn't that fertilizer?

This is the countryside, so they probably use it for farming.

Okay, a question for you.

The federal building in Oklahoma in 1995.

2002, Bali, Indonesia. And 2011, Oslo's government quarter.

What do these three have in common? Easy for a top police grad, right?

They were all sites of terrorist bombings.

And the other common factor?

What happens when you mix ammonium nitrate with diesel fuel?

An ammonium nitrate bomb. It's extremists' bomb of choice...

because it's so easy to make.

I've seen one firsthand in the Middle East.

Were you in the military?

Hey! What man in South Korea hasn't served in the military?

- Don't tell me you're an exception. - I was stationed at a GP.

Anyway, why the sudden talk about bombs?

I don't know. Something feels off.

Hey, the drink is missing.

Oh, they asked to leave it out when they ordered.

- I see. I'm heading out. - All right, take care.

Wait a second.

Are you free this weekend?

Me?

The GED exam is held twice a year, and next month's is too soon,

so I was thinking we could aim for the 2nd test 4 months from now.

The customer will be really mad if this gets cold.

So that's...

not a no?

Check inside first.

Hey, get upstairs, quickly! Hurry up.

Move!

I'm...

I'm Hwang Seong Sik, the mayor of Yongdan City.

I have done wrong. People died because of me.

I deserve to die for what I've done.

Commissioner.

It sounds like he's referring to the deaths in Yongdan City.

And the kidnapper seems to think that Mayor Hwang's to blame.

During Mayor Hwang's term, there've been 38 deaths in Yongdan,

and we're contacting the families to get more details.

It's likely the kidnapper is one of the victims' family members.

We're searching abandoned warehouses around Yongdan City,

but we have to be discreet, so it's taking some time.

Commissioner, let's open a tip line.

No way! The media might provoke the kidnapper.

And if Mayor Hwang ends up dead, who's going to take responsibility?

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Who is it?

Oh, hello. I'm here to see Mr. Lee Sang Hyeon.

Oh, Sang Hyeon didn't come home last night.

- Why do you ask about my youngest? - Do you know where he went?

He's between here and his gosiwon, studying for the civil service exam.

What is this about with my youngest son?

Well, I just need to talk to him about something.

I just can't get a hold of him.

He doesn't really answer his phone when he's studying.

But wait, who are you?

Ma'am, does Mr. Lee happen to do any farming?

Team One, go right. Team Two, with me.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Clear!

Move in!

Congratulations, Corporal Choi.

- Congratulations. - Stop it. That's so embarrassing.

Stop it.

Come on, why not? You're finally getting reinstated.

I told you so. I said this wasn't wishful thinking.

All right, that's enough.

- All right, back to work. - It's a classic hero's story.

A cop disgraced 15 years ago endures hardships, biding his time.

And now he returns to HQ as a hero, thanks to that very same case.

- Pretty epic, right? - Ever seen such a pathetic hero?

Right here.

(Jun's father)

Where are you going?

Hello.

It's ringing, but they're not picking up.

This is really urgent, so please, just try one more time.

Okay, I will.

By the way, I'm getting reinstated.

I have to think there's a reason for all this.

For you to look for me after 15 years.

We found the IP address that uploaded the video!

- Yeong Sik, rookie, check the rear. - Got it.

- The rest of you, ID the suspect. - Yes, sir!

Police. We need your cooperation.

Can we take a look at the CCTV footage?

Captain.

I think this is our guy.

Yes. Looks like it's him.

After we hang up, if I don't call back within five minutes,

call 112 and give them the address I'm sending you now.

And Pillip, you get over there too!

It's urgent! Hurry!

Sir, I'll pay the ticket, so step on it.

Confirmed, Yongdan abandoned plant. Let's move! Go!

Yes? Who is it?

Oh, so you were in here.

Well, I...

I just wanted to have a quick word with you.

- I said, who are you? - Oh, hello.

I've been looking all over for you since yesterday.

Your username is Weed, right?

You posted that civil complaint on the Community Service Center site.

Could you please take that down?

It's because of your brother, right?

Hey, you know that guy you asked me to look into?

- Turns out, he's a pretty big deal. - Oh, sorry.

- I'll have to call you back. - Only a few in the country...

Team 3, cover the rear! Team 1, take the front!

Copy that.

Block the entrance! This way!

Position A, secured.

- Position B, secured. - Position C, secured.

Position D, secured.

It's been a while, Yeong Su.

A man has to work, Jang Pro.

You can't go in there.

What's the situation inside?

Have you spoken with the hostage-taker?

Negotiate with me.

What?

I said, from now on, you negotiate with me.

You show up out of the blue. What are you even talking about?

I'm Lee Sang Hyeon's negotiator.

You mean the hostage-taker? Not the hostage?

Yes.

If you want to get the hostage out alive,

then negotiate with me, starting now.

(Shin's Project)

We don't have time to drag it out.

So, what is it you want, exactly?

He's just throwing a fit!

My first demand is...

Three beef head rice soup.

Eat it neatly, without spilling on your vest.

He's someone you just can't predict.

Do you think law and order is always right?

If he killed someone, he deserves to be punished!

Move! Get out of the way! Wait.

Master Shin sent me.

That's too dangerous.

But the boss still isn't out.

I'm trying to save your life, so stay put.

If I fail, what's the worst that can happen? I die.
