(Police)

That's the murderer.

He killed twelve people.

(SON HYUN-JOO)

(DON LEE CHOI DANIEL)

Let's go!

(PARK SEO-JUN JUNG WON-JOONG)

I was...

the son of a murderer.

(THE CHRONICLES OF EVIL)

(President's Award for Exemplary Officers)

The President's award must be a big deal.

Your photo's already online.

I'm back.

You might get promoted as you wished

and be transferred to the HQ.

- Thank you. - Bullshit.

Sly fox, you threatened me

to back you.

All right.

You deserve it

after 15 years in homicide.

Evaluation will take place at the end of this month.

Until that's over,

don't get caught up in anything

and lay low.

Yes, I understand.

Here comes the chief!

Congratulations!

Choi Chang-sik! Choi Chang-sik!

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

It's a good day,

but there's work to be done, sir.

Mr. Kim of Jangan-dong.

His case has to be forwarded to the prosecutor now.

- Yeah? - As we discussed,

I left out the charges of hiring gangsters and inciting assault.

Good work.

Last year, he helped Det. Park's brother-in-law get a job,

so quid pro quo.

Right.

- Forward it. - Okay.

A light sentence will be enough to bring him to his senses.

- Sure. - Hey.

What's this?

From our generous patron. Must've been feeling antsy.

Share them with the boys.

So many gift certificates.

It's your gift. You should use them.

It was your case.

I'll take care of the brass, so don't worry.

All right, we'll put it to good use.

(Chief Choi Chang-sik)

Send Dong-jae in.

Did you ask for me?

I read your first case file.

Did you investigate it and write it yourself?

Yes, Det. Park said it was a simple case

and told me to do it myself.

But what a pity. You flunked it.

It feels like

you're siding with the suspect.

The thing is...

The victim's time of death is a bit weird.

And there's a lack of motive in this case.

It's not enough to charge him with murder.

What do you think is the keyword of this case?

Well...

"Accidental instinct."

When he got caught robbing a convenience store,

he killed a part-timer in the heat of passion.

Humans resort to instincts

in an extreme situation.

Right here is the place where we witness

how evil humans can become

depending on the circumstances.

If you get carried away by emotions,

you can't survive here.

Remove your emotions

and only consider the facts. Be objective, okay?

Yes, sir.

And why does my wife and son

like you more than me?

I was supposed to ride bicycles with Myung-ho.

Please tell him we'll go for sure next week.

Okay.

Come have your birthday meal this Saturday.

Isn't it your birthday?

I know you don't have time to visit your parents.

Back to work.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

To our chief, who's on a roll!

- To our chief! - To our chief!

- Congratulations! - All the way!

Congrats!

There's a rumor that you're heading for the HQ.

You'll be wearing a suit every day.

We put our heads together

and decided on this small gift.

Put it on for him.

How is it? Am I the shit?

- Major shit! - The best!

Across the Pacific Across the Atlantic

Even across the Indian Ocean

I will run to see you

I'll come no matter what

Boss!

You're the man today.

You're the man!

The best!

You little cutie!

Chief, don't love Dong-jae so much.

We're getting jealous!

Slap my ass too.

- Good night! - Night, sir!

- Take care, boss! - Salute!

District 7 in Mok-dong.

Hey, Son.

It's Dad.

Of course, I'm the best police officer in Korea.

Okay.

Put Mom on the phone.

It just ended.

I'm doing this

to make you the queen.

A man must have unquenchable ambition.

Okay, okay.

I'll see you soon.

Where are we? I said Mok-dong.

Mister, go to District 7 in Mok-dong.

Stop the car. I'm a cop!

Stop the car!

This damn po-po is so yappy.

I said I'm a cop!

Be cool and drop the knife.

Drop it!

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

So damn yappy.

Should I tell you why you must die?

You arrested Kim Taek-ho in China.

You took bribes and set him free.

Want more?

Yujin Construction's Park Pyeong-sik and Jo Nam-oh,

bar owner Lee Myung-chun...

You kept Lee's money

all by yourself without sharing it with the brass.

You're a scumbag.

Did Lee send you?

To threaten me?

I don't give a shit

about you taking bribes.

But why dig up old cases

and cause headaches?

You have to die for me to live.

This is your own doing, asshole!

Die!

You cockroach!

Hey, get up.

Wake up!

Wake up!

(Senior Superintendent Ju Won-il)

Yes, sir.

Yo, Chang-sik!

Do you know who I'm with?

You know Senior Superintendent General Park Joon-chul?

Head of HR in the headquarters.

Yes, I do.

I'm lobbying him

to push your promotion.

Happy?

- Yes. - I gave him a good push,

so stay out of trouble.

The world will change so much for you.

Different work, and different people too.

A whole new playing field.

Then we'll go all the way. Okay?

Yes, sir.

Look!

- What is it? - Oh my god!

(Gangnam Police Station)

If it's Dong-jae,

let me talk to him first, Mom.

You're not like yourself today.

Aren't you getting out of bed?

It's Dong-jae. He sounded urgent.

Yeah, Dong-jae.

Some sick dude

hung a body on a crane.

It was in the open,

so we couldn't stop them.

- The body? - This way.

- What's with the neck? - It's a scratch.

Something wrong?

Someone you know?

Anything odd at the scene?

The case is already odd,

so everyone's making a fuss.

What a nut job.

We need his fingerprints.

Sure, please hurry.

- All right, thank you. - Thank you.

Hey, Dong-jae!

I got it!

A cab at a construction site?

Check every inch,

and open the trunk.

Sure.

A body that was found

hanging on a crane at a construction site

has drawn the nation's attention.

The results of the investigation are

the focus of public attention.

Someone kills a man

and hangs him right in our doorstep.

Imagine how embarrassed I am.

It's an order from the top.

Our reputation is on the line!

Get everyone on it

and catch him at all costs!

Choi, do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

A task force has already been formed,

and our top officer, Chief Choi Chang-sik,

is heading the investigation.

We'll put our honor on the line

and arrest the killer.

(Chief Choi Chang-sik to Head)

(The Crane Body Case)

The victim was an unlicensed taxi driver

who drove borrowed cabs.

His name is Jung Ji-su, 42 and single.

He was previously convicted

for assault and drug use.

He clocked in

on the morning of the 21st and was killed that night,

and he was transported

in his trunk.

Any prints or DNA samples

off the cab?

The prints were completely wiped off,

so there aren't any concrete evidence.

Judging from Jung's records,

I think we could narrow down the search fields.

We'll start with his associates

and get a list of suspects,

then sort through nearby CCTVs

and retrace the cab's route.

It's a solid target,

so it'll give us some leads.

Good.

Get to it.

Unit A, focus on

the construction site's entrance and its vicinity.

- Okay. - Unit B, expand the search

to the entire Gangnam area.

Okay.

The plate number is Seoul 31J5387.

Don't lose track of it.

Find it no matter what.

- Got it? - Yes, sir!

Here's the CD.

It's the night of the 21st.

Sir, it's the forensics.

They found something in the body.

Irrefutable evidence.

Skin cells obtained from under the victim's nails!

He and the killer must have had a physical confrontation.

The skin cells from a scratch

remained under the nails.

So a nail scratch?

Probably left a wound.

Send me DNA samples

of your suspects.

It's indisputable.

I was nervous since the Commissioner General ordered it.

I believe we did all we can.

Go frame by frame.

- I found him! - You got it?

Where?

Show me.

- Zoom in. - Sure.

That's it. It's 5387.

At 0205 hours,

he entered Daechi-dong,

so narrow down the direction and keep tracking.

- I got him. - Yeah? Let's see.

It's 5387.

That's it.

- Where is it? - It was heading this way.

I got him. Come check it out.

Isn't it 5387?

He's over here too!

- Where? - Here.

Okay, where is that?

It's connected to here.

Where are we?

Det. Oh!

Take a look!

- What is it? - What's this?

You're under arrest for murder.

You have the right to an attorney.

You have the right to remain silent.

Sir, you need to see this.

We're retracing the cab's route

from the construction site.

We found out that

it came from Mt. Umyeon.

As you see, the driver is alone in the car.

This is Banpo-dong

at 0028 hours.

Here, the cab was heading for Mt. Umyeon.

Here, it gets interesting.

Take a look.

Play it.

Stop.

If you look closely,

there's someone in the back. Could be a passenger.

It's a pity that the face can't be enhanced.

Two people went up the mountain,

and one died, and one came down.

I think we got the answer.

The passenger must be the killer.

If we retrace the route of the cab

heading for Mt. Umyeon,

I'm certain we can spot

the killer getting in the cab.

Are there any areas not covered by CCTVs

or where the camera resolution is too poor to identify the object?

It depends on the location,

but I'm sure we can pull it off.

- Good night! - Yup.

Night, sir!

- Take care, boss! - Salute!

(CCTV ID: Sinsa 1-78)

Dong-jae!

Yes, Det. Oh.

What you doing alone?

You were spacing out during the meeting too.

Something on your mind?

Not at all.

There's something.

Tell me. Fess up.

Is it because it's your first time dealing with a big case?

Not at all.

Bullshit.

There's something fishy about this case.

How so?

I don't know. It comes with

a decade of experience.

It's a gut feeling.

You've been working out?

I started working out at the gym since last week. Feel it.

- This only took a week? - Of course!

- Evening, sir. - Salute.

- Have you had dinner? - Evening, sir.

(Sinsa 1-78)

Good evening.

(Nonhyeon 1-37)

(Apgujeong 1-13)

(Sinsa 1-76)

Anything?

Nothing so far.

- Going well? - Yes, sir.

(Sinsa 1-76)

(Sinsa 1-77)

(Sinsa 1-78)

Here...

There's nothing.

I found it!

It's a residential CCTV

on the way to the construction site from the mountain.

It's the killer for sure!

- What? Really? - Let's take a look.

Let's see.

Move aside.

Play.

It's the cab?

Yes. It's 5387.

Who is that?

- Zoom in. - Yes, sir.

Is that a body in the trunk?

- Yes. - Looks like it.

It is a body.

Get the address and head there!

Yes, sir.

Hurry!

It's him!

Hey!

Bastard!

Lost him?

Where did he go?

Think we lost him.

Disperse.

- Find him. - Yes, sir.

I'm at the alley on the other side. He's not here.

If he's not there, go help Sang-won.

Go that way. I'll go this way.

I didn't kill him!

I was told to go there,

and he was already dead!

I just followed his instructions.

I only moved the body

to the site and hung him up!

Who is he?

He might kill me...

My life is ruined because of that bastard!

Who the hell is he?

Drop the gun and piss off, you po-po!

Why is everyone up my ass?

I didn't kill him!

Anyone have eyes on him?

Where's the chief?

He's not up here.

This is Det. Baek. He's not here either.

Chief, do you copy?

Name, Lee Jung-hoon,

unemployed, no next of kin.

According to his phone records,

he had no contact

with the victim,

but there was

a common number, so we tracked it.

It was a throwaway phone created 3 years ago

with the ID of an agent who worked at Mirae Entertainment,

which is a dead end.

What happened?

Even if he was a threat,

how could you kill him like that?

We don't know whether Lee Jung-hoon was the killer.

Anyhow, a man died in the line of duty.

The use of firearm

must be justified.

Any witnesses?

I'll take full responsibility...

I was just behind him

and saw the whole thing.

It was dark,

and the suspect wielded a weapon,

so shooting him was the only option.

I'll be the witness.

Yes, I saw it too. It was unavoidable.

- Me too. - I saw it too.

Look at this.

Covering for their boss.

Make sure there's no backlash

and settle it quietly.

In all honesty,

I don't care

if Lee's dead or alive.

What's important is

that he has to be the killer.

Are you...

absolutely certain that he's the killer?

As you saw earlier,

he was convicted of drug use and has a history of mental illness.

And both Jung and Lee seemed to have been

under the influence that day.

A narcotic substance called metopon

- was found in his blood... - "Metopon"?

It's a drug that's extracted from morphine.

According to the forensics,

it's highly addictive,

so there's not much demand for it.

It must have been very hard to obtain it.

So they fought over that drug,

and one was killed in that fight?

What's more important than that to drug addicts?

It's a solid motive.

CCTVs are enough to secure

his actions afterward.

Lastly, if Lee's DNA samples

match the skin cells recovered from under his nails,

then this case is

as good as closed.

The forensics report

will be out tomorrow.

It was all but certain

that Lee Jung-hoon was the killer,

and he was shot during his arrest

because he couldn't be contained.

The investigators are

analyzing his DNA samples

to prove that he was the killer,

and we'll report the result

as soon as it's available. That is all.

Are you sure he was the killer?

When will you get the result?

Just give us a day.

- Let's wrap it up. - Sure.

Sang-won, go get the car.

- We'll wait for you. - Okay.

Sir.

We're going out for a drink. Would you like to come?

I'm fine.

Don't take it to heart.

Yeah.

Dong-jae.

- Come here. - Yes, sir.

Things on your mind again?

Look how tight your muscles are.

You need to drink more.

Um...

Det. Oh.

Yeah?

Don't you think the chief

is acting a bit strange?

- Kiddo. - Sir?

When you look hard enough,

anything in life is odd.

Don't overthink it.

You complicated bastard.

That's not it.

After a long struggle,

he's finally going places.

He must have felt pressured from this case,

and he accidentally shot a guy.

Imagine the stress.

Anyone in his situation

would be on the edge.

We have to support him.

Drink up.

- Cheers. - Good work.

You have to die for me to live.

I just followed his instructions.

A narcotic substance called metopon was found in his blood.

Shitty luck.

Business doing well?

Don't greet him.

I asked you a question.

What's going on?

Stop hitting...

I don't sell drugs!

I don't sell drugs!

Okay, I sell it!

I sell it, for god's sake!

I sell...

Metopon.

Who sells it nowadays?

Metopon?

Chief, there are so many better stuff.

No one wants that shit.

I'm serious! Really!

It was a fad last year,

but no one's doing it anymore

because it's so addictive.

Once you try that,

nothing else will get you high.

Did anyone look for it recently?

I said no one's looking for it.

Then tell me everything

you know about it!

Metopon. Full name, met...

something.

Called "Killer" on the street.

It was refined in Busan,

and I used to sell it at $200 for a piece.

Clients are usually lowlives.

Remember the actors who were caught up in a drug scandal

last year?

- Actors? - Yes.

A bunch of B-listers

who faded into obscurity.

Jo Sun-young, Kim Jin-kyu, and Park Jong-tae.

They were arrested for

doing metopon.

(Throwaway phone bought with the ID)

(of Mirae Entertainment's former agent)

(Kim Jin-kyu, actor)

(Mirae Entertainment)

(Gangnam Police Station)

Morning, sir.

Chief, one sec.

The forensics report came out.

Lee's not a match.

I heard.

So there's someone else.

Dammit.

Get your ass in there!

What the hell happened?

You said he was the one.

We'll reinvestigate.

Reinvestigate what and how?

The entire country is watching us!

You killed the wrong suspect

and misled the media!

Who's going clean up this mess?

Choi Chang-sik.

Sir?

This DNA report does not exist.

I'll handle the director of the National Forensic Service,

so get your men onboard

and fix this DNA report.

And close the case.

Both Lee and Jung are dead anyway.

Circumstantial evidence and CCTV footages

should be enough to convince the public.

No?

Case closed?

(Kim Jin-kyu)

Kim Jin-kyu

went into hiding

after the drug scandal,

but he called me out of nowhere.

He said he wanted to quit this job.

That is all.

I don't know his current whereabouts.

Did he have any close associates?

Well, he was such an introvert.

There was a rumor that he was gay.

Is he in any trouble?

I need to check something with him.

Could you help?

Yes, of course.

I'll look into it and give you a call.

Did he...

sign a contract by any chance?

Oh. His address would be on it.

Excuse me...

I'm Det. Cha Dong-jae from Gangnam Police.

I requested some information a few days ago.

There was a missing CCTV feed,

so could I get a copy of it?

Sure, please write down

the location and the date.

Last Wednesday. The 21st.

One moment.

(Sinsa 1-78)

Chief!

Yes, Dong-jae.

Chief?

Yeah.

There's a superior

whom I respect immensely.

At a murder scene,

I found his personal item.

At first, I thought it was a coincidence.

But shortly afterward,

I caught him stealing

a vital piece of evidence

from a murder case.

Then afterward,

he shot and killed a suspect

who held the key to solving this case.

I thought it was very peculiar.

So I got a copy of

the evidence he stole and checked it.

It contained

sufficient evidence to pin him

as the prime suspect of this case.

What must I do in this situation?

It's too hard, Chief.

He must have a reason,

so I made a decision.

Let's just tell him

everything I know

and see how he fixes

this problem.

I believe that he will

find a wise solution.

(Sinsa 1-78)

Have a good night, Chief.

Yes?

Hello, Chief Choi.

It's Ahn Tae-kyu from Mirae Entertainment.

I got in touch with

Kim Jin-kyu.

No, I didn't find him.

I don't know how he found out.

He actually called me.

Asked why I was looking for him.

So I told him about you.

He knows you well.

He said he'll meet you soon.

I don't know if this will help,

but I came across it

while I was asking around.

He runs a members-only bar called Mojo

in Sangam-dong.

(Mojo)

(The Mojo Bar)

(Mt. Umyeon Park)

Yes, Chief. Go ahead.

Could you look up any violent crimes

that occurred in the following areas?

May 11, Seoksa-dong, Anyang.

6th, Chopyeong-myeon, Jincheon.

2nd, Soha-dong, Gwangmyeong.

Okay, one moment.

Sir,

there were murder cases in all 3.

All of the victims

are former cops.

Jo Choon-gil in Anyang, Ju Jin-suk in Jincheon,

Park Gwang-choon in Gwangmyeong.

I knew Park when I was in the regional investigation unit.

I even went to his funeral.

What's this about?

Park Gwang-choon...

Jin-suk! Jin-suk!

Gwang-choon, Choon-gil, we got a huge case!

- It's an emergency! - Let's move!

Hurry up!

My god...

The massacre took place

at an illegal casino in a residential building.

All 12 victims were killed with cyanide.

It's a special order!

Solve this case

by any means necessary.

It's him!

Wait, who are you?

Come out, asshole!

Let go! Let go of me!

- Lee Jung-hoon! - Grab him!

I don't know!

Untie me!

I don't know any of them!

I've never met that woman!

I don't know that woman!

Goddammit!

(Unsolved Illegal Casino Massacre. Incompetent Police?)

(Two Weeks Into The Investigation. The Police Are Helpless.)

(Special Order by Commissioner General of Seoul Police Agency)

Is this all you've got?

Chief Ju, what's the problem?

Bring me a suspect

even if you have to make one!

Do you understand?

Yes.

Chief, it's ready.

Suspect Kim Bong-su

has physical disabilities

and minor mental disabilities.

He was constantly insulted and assaulted

at the casino where he worked.

Moreover, he was not paid property,

as we understand it.

He confessed that his grudge

led him to mix cyanide

into their drinks,

thereby killing 12 people.

In addition to his confession,

we secured 2 witnesses

who were present at the scene.

(Son: Kim Jin-kyu)

Can I help you?

I would like to confess.

Confess to what?

I recently killed someone

and hung him on a crane.

What?

I'm the one

who killed a guy and hung his body on a crane.

Chief, please come!

A man named Kim Jin-kyu came to confess.

He hasn't said much yet.

Kim Jin-kyu, 28,

was an actor.

He too has a few drug convictions.

He says wants to talk to Chief Choi,

who is the head of the investigation.

Before we begin,

could you turn it off?

You know,

the speaker that lets them hear us.

Do it.

Now, let's begin.

Interrogate me.

Did you really

kill Jung Ji-su?

Of course not.

How could I?

I saw you killing him with my eyes.

What's he saying?

I never wanted to cause such a ruckus.

I was going to meet you privately outside.

But I noticed that

you were trying to

cover up this important case.

So I came in person like this.

Kim Jin-kyu.

Yes?

Is this because of your father?

Anyang, Jincheon, and Gwangmyeong. You did it, right?

You sent Jung after me

and hung him on the crane.

You're behind it all, aren't you?

I'm impressed.

Stop it. It's all in the past.

Had you died as

intended that night,

this wouldn't have happened.

You were all supposed to die

one by one. That was it.

But you messed up my plan

by killing that guy.

That son of a...

But thanks to you,

everything's gotten a lot interesting.

You looked like a cornered rat.

It was a sight to see.

Humans are quite foolish.

Jung and Lee...

They committed one crime

after another,

trying to cover up their original crime.

In the end, they got high

and did everything I told them to do.

You're not all that different from them.

Since you managed to kill my minions,

Chief,

you'll have to take their place.

Not a chance.

Really?

I got a video of you

killing him on Mt. Umyeon on my cell phone.

Matter of seconds before it's online.

If you know who I am

and why I'm doing this,

then you must know what you need to do.

Right.

You'll have to kill someone for me.

You know who.

What?

You already killed 2.

Killing one more should be easy for you.

The deadline is 9PM tonight.

You got 2 hours.

The choice is yours.

Either comply

or pay for your crimes.

I will not be dragged in the mud.

Make no mistake.

If you do not stop here,

I will kill you.

I must be off now.

Clear me of all suspicion and send me home.

So?

Is he the one?

His statement lacks credibility.

He got creative

with what was reported on TV. His statement is inconsistent.

But we should keep him in custody

and look into him further.

Kang, give it a go.

Yes, sir.

He's a weird one.

Like Choi said,

he's not making any sense.

This won't do. Start over.

Kang will take over the case.

Stay alert.

We need more investigation on the cockpit of the crane.

That's the problem.

You left out the most important aspect!

Kim Jin-kyu...

What a wacko...

Verify his ID

and let him loose.

We can keep him for 48 hours.

Why not observe him a bit more...

What the hell for?

Nut jobs like him only

muddle our investigation.

The media is watching us.

What if we're barking up

the wrong tree?

How will you manage that?

Send him home right now.

Yes, sir.

You'll have to kill someone for me.

You know who.

(President's Award)

Is the Senior Superintendent in?

He's gone for the day.

When did he leave?

About 30 minutes ago.

He has a district meeting at the Olympic Park.

Where's Kim Jin-kyu?

We had to let him loose, Chief.

Kang's order.

But I put a tail on him

just in case. Something wrong?

Check his current location.

Where the hell did this bastard go?

Kiddo, you should've ignored the red light.

I'm sorry.

- Yes, sir. - It's me. Where is he now?

Do your damn job properly!

Find him ASAP! Sons of bitches...

He slipped away near the Olympic Park...

Find him and bring him in!

(Criminal Record)

(Senior Superintendent Ju)

(Chief Choi Chang-sik)

Your call cannot be completed...

Chief, it's me, Kim Jin-kyu.

Time's almost up.

Have you decided?

Let's stop this.

Have you made up your mind?

Just stop it!

I knew it'd be like this.

If you won't, you leave me no choice.

I'll have to do it myself.

You're just in time.

No, the other way.

Do you see?

The Senior Superintendent.

I attached something to his car

not too long ago.

I'm not sure

if it'll be spectacular like in the movies.

Sir!

Get out!

Sir!

Get out!

Now, you're the only one left.

Aren't you curious?

You should've died a long time ago.

But why would I have brought you here?

There's an important task

you must complete.

My father's case.

Please find

the real killer.

Kim Jin-kyu.

Die...

Let's die...

together.

What's going on?

I'll follow him!

Chief, what happened?

Where's Kim?

Dong-jae's following him.

What the...

(Video of The Real Crane Killer, Chief Choi Chang-sik)

What?

Isn't this Chief Choi?

Looks like it. That's Chief Choi.

What is it? Move aside.

What is this?

Det. Oh!

The Senior Superintendent has passed away!

In an explosion.

What did you say?

Move.

(Investigators: Jo, Ju, Park, Choi)

(Anyang: Jo, Jincheon: Ju, Gwangmyeong: Park)

(Lead investigator: Ju Won-il)

What the hell's going on?

Yes, Chief?

Dong-jae.

Where is he now?

He's heading toward Sangam-dong.

Okay.

As you know,

I accidentally killed a man.

It's a long story, but...

I will find a wise solution like you said.

Before doing that, I need to meet him.

He's dangerous, so be careful.

Just keep your eyes on him until I get there.

I understand, Chief.

Track Choi's cell phone.

As soon as you locate him, send a SWAT team

- to his location! - Yes, sir.

Hurry up!

Yes.

Fax me the files, please.

But can you give me his name

and resident registration number first?

Yes.

8808...

Name?

Are you absolutely sure?

(The Mojo Bar)

Dong-jae, where you at?

There's an urgent matter.

I need your help.

Okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Jin-kyu.

Is it over now?

You're finally here.

How was my performance?

Convincing?

What the hell are you saying?

I'm just an actor.

And an obedient friend.

He's...

someone I love.

Who the hell is he?

Dong-jae!

What took you so long?

I heard you taught him.

"Accidental instinct."

Dong-jae.

Right.

Dong-jae.

His name was also Jin-kyu.

We still call each other that.

Dong-jae, stop this.

You're Kim Bong-su's son, Kim Jin-kyu. Am I right?

You became Cha Dong-jae after you were adopted.

I know all about it.

Bravo.

Son of a...

This...

Dong-jae,

this is not right. You can't do this.

Please.

Stop this.

Don't move, asshole!

Det. Oh.

Think you can arrest me?

Don't move!

Cha Dong-jae!

Snap out of it!

You son of...

It's all over.

Put a stop to this, Dong-jae.

No.

I still have a job to do.

You bastard...

I'm sorry, Det. Oh.

Could you do me...

a favor?

When you meet him,

please don't kill him.

To me...

he's more important

than life itself.

- Dad. - Yes, Myung-ho.

When are you coming?

Dong-jae's here. He said you're coming.

Put him on! Now!

Yes, Chief.

Dong-jae, listen.

Let my family out of this.

I'll clear your father's name.

I'll find the real killer

and kill him in front of you no matter what.

Will you keep your promise?

I'll keep my promise no matter what.

Leave my family alone. Please!

Dong-jae! Please!

Don't worry. I'm at the park with Myung-ho.

Come right away, Chief.

Our usual spot.

You have to die for me to live.

I just followed his instructions.

I'm just an actor.

Who the hell is he?

Get out!

Myung-ho...

Myung-ho...

Chief!

Where's my son?

I was probably his age.

My dad and I only had each other.

Son!

Dad!

He did all he could to raise me,

even enduring their endless contempt.

Thank you.

Then one day, he didn't come home.

So I went to the place where he worked.

The bastards who were high on drugs...

There was not a single

decent human being.

Please have a drink.

It was you?

Right.

I confessed to everyone

that I was the one,

but you took my dad away.

You made up fake witnesses

and created fake evidence.

Let's go!

Then one day,

I heard that he received the death penalty.

From that day on,

I became Cha Dong-jae, not Kim Jin-kyu,

and began formulating my plan.

Now...

what will you do?

You've found the real killer.

Will you kill me like you promised?

Dad!

Get to your positions and wait for my order!

Yes, sir!

Chief Choi! I'm Kang!

Drop your gun and surrender!

- Dad! - I'm warning you!

- Myung-ho! - Drop your gun and surrender!

- You can't go there. - Dad! Dad!

In the end, just like my father,

you'll be arrested for murder

in front of your son.

Choi Chang-sik!

Drop your gun and surrender,

or we will fire!

I'm warning you!

Drop your gun and surrender,

or we will fire!

This is the end of my plan.

If you do not keep your promise again,

how will I go on living?

Is it okay for a guy like me...

to continue living?

Now,

could you please keep your promise?

Where did it all go wrong?

Hurry.

Arrest him!

Sir...

I did it.

Please take me.

Jin-kyu, I know.

You and your dad...

aren't bad people.

Come on, Choi! Let's get out of here.

Be strong and live well, okay?

Jin-kyu...

Jin-kyu...

Class of what?

2013, sir.

Class of 2013...

How's Prof. Lee Won-ki?

He's still alive and kicking.

He actually told me a lot about you.

Like what?

That you were a righteous cadet.

And that you're a good man.

Once upon a time.

I heard you volunteered to join my unit.

Yes.

Why?
