SHADOW DETECTIVE

Lieutenant Kim, a suspect
who murdered a fellow police officer

on April 16th and fabricated it

as if he jumped into the port
to his death, is on the run.

The police are doing everything they can

to locate the suspect's whereabouts.

The suspect was confirmed
to have been with the victim at the time,

but was released,
because there was no conclusive evidence.

In addition, on behalf of Chief of Police

Seo Gwangsu, who fled from his office
on the 25th after being accused

of inciting murder,

Acting Chief of Police Lee Youngbae
will be in charge

of investigating the recent crimes
within the Geumo police network

-starting today.
-It's the chief's first day.

We'll hold a briefing session later.

The case remained unsolved,
'cause there was no evidence or witnesses.

But a witness came forward and pointed out
Lieutenant Kim as a suspect,

and the police are pursuing
the whereabouts of Lieutenant Kim.

The victim was a police officer who worked
with the suspect for over ten years.

It was revealed during the news interviews
that there were no conflicts between them

due to drudges or monetary reasons.

Geumo Police is also investigating
whether the two suspects collaborated.

GEUMO POLICE STATION

Attention for a moment.

I'm certain that the two suspects
are still in our jurisdiction.

Starting now,
Team Three will investigate places

-that Detective Kim Taekrok may be hiding.
-Yes, sir.

Team Two will work
with the Women and Children's unit

to find Seo Gwangsu,
the former Chief of Police.

The two of them know their way
around Geumo better than anyone.

Please don't let your guard down.

Yes, sir.

We just received intelligence
that Detective Kim Taekrok has a gun.

In case of emergency, you may shoot.

But shooting seems a bit...

I'll take all the responsibility.

Please get going.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

The Acting Chief of Police
is looking for you.

If we receive any intelligence on them,
please report to me first.

-What about the arrest?
-I'll arrest them myself.

What do you mean by that?

Please keep a very close eye
on Detectives Lee and Son.

Yes, will do.

POLICE WITH STRONG FUNDAMENTALS
FOR CITIZENS

Three days?

Generally, if you can't resolve
or wrap things up within that timeframe,

you end up meeting a headwind.

It happens every time, without fail.

Come in.

Have a seat.

My goodness. This is so hectic.

What would be
Lieutenant Kim Taekrok's motive

for murdering Superintendent Woo Hyunseok?

We need to arrest him to confirm that.

And Sergeant Kwak Sangkyu?

He has no idea
about Chief Seo Gwangsu's hideout?

It seems like it.

My gosh.

Lieutenant Bae Youngdoo's case
is odd, too.

How could all these things happen
at one police station at once?

I'll summarize each case
and report it to you.

Fine. What's the status
of the investigation?

What's certain is that the two suspects

haven't been able to get out of Geumo.

You're well aware that this region

is receiving attention
due to redevelopment, right?

I don't want the police to be blamed
if that gets halted.

We have nothing to do with it.
We can't take the blame, don't you agree?

Have you heard anything from the chief?

What about Detective Kim?

Be careful.

-About what?
-The situation is serious.

You're right. You be careful, too, sir.

I'm concerned that the two of you
might become innocent victims.

Why would you think that?

Because you were very close
to the suspect who fled.

Many people are watching you.

Someone might be keeping us
under surveillance.

Gosh, I really want to kill him.

What are you doing?

I had no time to hide it elsewhere.

Who on earth
caused matters to come to this?

It's better that you don't know.

You don't plan to use that, do you?

I'm being prepared just in case.

-What's wrong with you?
-He even got to Jiwoo.

That's an excuse.

Do you want things to repeat again?

Because of what happened, it's been
so hard until now. For Jiwoo, too.

You never saw me today.

-You're acting out of character.
-How am I supposed to act?

You're right. I wasn't all that,

but I never felt ashamed of my life. But…

I did nothing right.

Why do you always blame yourself?
I said that's your issue.

Because that's the truth.

And please tell Jiwoo...

that I'm safe, so she shouldn't worry.

Call me.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm going insane.

-More so than me?
-What are you going to do?

What else? I need to catch that punk.

What about Sunga?

What's he up to?

He warned us openly to be careful.

He killed two people
in a very short period of time.

Nothing he commits going forward
would surprise me.

How could a person change so abruptly?

It looks like nothing can stop him.
He is going full speed.

What do you plan to do?

I need to find out
what he is truly like to stop him.

There are checkpoints everywhere.
Please be careful.

You guys, too.

GUEMO HOSPITAL

What do you think you're doing?
You're so rude.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

What is it that you want?

Both the father and the son have been
accused and acquitted numerous times

according to the case records up to now.

If I reopen those cases,
your hospital will be closed down

and your son will have to spend
more time in prison.

Are you threatening me
now that Chief Seo is gone?

I don't have much time,
so listen carefully.

Everyone has insurance, you know?

Insurance? What do you mean?

Hand over everything
on the development committee members.

Even better
if you've committed them together.

You're spewing nonsense.

Should I keep your son in prison
for about 20 years?

How would you like to be
his next-door neighbor?

As you told us,

I invested in Hagok district in advance,
so my profit margin is four times greater.

All thanks to you.

Mr. Shin,
you handle things so thoroughly.

I bought the land
to move our office building there, too.

I couldn't have
achieved this alone.

The chief helped me resolve
the evictee issue peacefully,

the city councilor passed the bill

and disregarded the audit,

and Mr. Joo emphasized every day

the urgency of redevelopment.
I thank all of you.

Let's raise our glasses!

Cheers!

What the heck are you doing?

It's not like I have a choice.

Come on, quit it.

There is no point in destroying it.
It's a copy.

Where is the original?

I asked, where is the original?

With Chief Kook Jinhan.

The information on Chairman Jang
from five years ago that I mentioned.

Why on earth
is he working with Chairman Jang?

They have no reason to do so.

And this one is separate
from Chairman Jang's case.

Kook Jinhan was interviewed
as a witness around that time.

Just for your reference.

KOOK JINHAN, POLICE OFFICER

CELL PHONE NUMBER, 010-0023-1267

TESTIFIED FOR THE SUDDEN DEATH CASE

It's me.

Can you send me more information
on Choi Sunghoon's suicide case?

Any update
on the Pyeongcheon-myeon search result?

They're searching right now,
but nothing unusual so far.

And the inspections at Seokpyeong Harbor?

They're checking every single passenger.

Investigate ex-convicts
with smuggling history separately

and reinvestigate
the suspect's family and friends.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

I checked Detective Lee's
cell phone records.

This cell tower that showed up
seems the most suspicious.

As you can see,

her cell phone was off
when she left the station.

But it turns back on
when she enters this area.

Then she used a number that doesn't allow
the recipient to be traced.

And it gets disconnected here again.

Since the incident, I checked on it
as I continued to research the area.

Every time she enters this area,
her cell phone keeps turning off.

But you must see this.

Detective Son also just entered this area

and his cell phone turned off.

-Where is Detective Lee now?
-We can't reach her.

-What about Detective Son?
-His phone is off.

I wonder if they're with the suspect.

-Who else knows about this?
-I reported it to you first.

Actually,
we already searched this area.

But from the suspect's point of view,
this may be a good place.

Target Two's cell phone is located.

-Where?
-Suam-ri in Panbong-eup.

Wait, it's on the move.

-Which direction?
-Toward Suam-ro 20-gil.

He turned off
his cell phone briefly on the way,

passed the target spot,
and turned it back on.

Target One's phone
is located, too.

Where is it?

It was heading
toward Panbong-eup on Haean-ro 3-gil,

but it's stopped now.

What's nearby?

Nothing noteworthy,
but there is an old fish market building.

PANBONG-EUP

-Run!
-Yes, sir!

-Hey, you guys get in this one.
-Yes, sir.

You get in that one.

If anything comes up on the way,
speed up right away.

Yes, sir!

Is Chief Kook here?

Not yet, sir.

-Do we really shoot?
-Of course, you punk.

The chief will be responsible. Shoot.

That's not the issue.

As police, taking responsibility
is crucial. The situation is very serious.

-What do we do, sir?
-Let's go.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

CSI CELL PHONE REPAIR

-Thank you.
-Goodbye, sir.

Sir?

What are you doing?

We came to see if the suspect is here,
but as you can see, he isn't.

What were you doing here?

You're a step behind.
We couldn't catch him either.

How did you know to come here?

Intuition? A hunch?

Hello?

Pardon?

Detective Lee.

You made a mistake.

GEUMO POLICE STATION

Are you sure
this is Lieutenant Bae's cell phone?

Go search and see. It should be.

Sir, will you be all right?

No, I don't think so.

But what option do I have?

My goodness.

Chief Kook.

Long time no see.

We need to search your place.

-Search through everything.
-Yes, sir. I'll check this one.

It would be hidden,
so search through carefully.

Yes, sir.

I found it!

GEUMO POLICE STATION

What is your relationship
with the local development committee?

What else? I got requests
from the development committee members.

I resolved the issues and received favors.

Isn't it obvious?

What about the relationship between
you and Section Chief Woo Hyunseok?

I made Hyunseok commit
all sorts of corrupt acts.

He just followed my orders.

Then you must've been aware
of Mr. Cheon's drug case. Is that right?

Woo Hyunseok handled Mr. Cheon

and Kwak Sangkyu managed Ma Sanggu.

Under my direct orders.

In exchange,
they got kickbacks every month.

So you admit
to all charges, then. Correct?

Including Cheon Kiduk's death?

Detective Han, that's enough.

I'm just following protocol.

You're well aware of it.

Where did you hide the slush fund?

Woo Hyunseok handled that,
so I'm not so sure.

I'm curious to know

why you're revealing everything
after all this time

and turning yourself in.
What's the reason?

It didn't change at all.

Leave! Shouldn't you do

a farewell party at some place great?
Why must you have it in this backcountry?

You're making it so inconvenient for me.

Youngdoo is my favorite person
in the whole world.

The air is so fresh here
that you don't even get drunk.

He'd be lost without him.

Turn your cuffs in.

You little...

What time does your train depart tomorrow?
I'll take you to the train station.

No thanks.

I'll be gone only briefly.
Why say goodbye and have a farewell?

Who is going to guide me on cases now?

He's only going to scold me.

Hyunseok, you're the only one I've got.

I'm younger and less experienced.

You're really the only one I've got.
Please help me.

This lettuce is purely organic.

-Do you want me to eat that?
-Yes.

-But you didn't wash your hands!
-Yes, I did.

Please help me. I'm serious.

You're making me cringe.

My goodness. Our town is so wonderful.

It's more wonderful,
because you guys are with me.

Taekrok, I know I'll miss this day.

It's not like I'm moving abroad.

Hey, take good care of this old man.

To be honest, it's better without you.

-The same goes for you, you punk.
-Enough.

Let's toast to Detective Kim Taekrok's

relocation to Seoul
and smooth sailing. Cheers!

Cheers!

You came.

You took longer than I expected.

It feels like yesterday. How time flies.

Those were the good days.

Hyunseok and Youngdoo said the same.

The old days were good, Taekrok.

They can be good again.

Can we really go back to how things were?

Did you hear from Hyunseok at all?

Check on him when you can, like old times.

Taekrok.

If you and I

get rid of Chairman Jang and Kook Jinhan,

things can be good again, like old times.

We can get revenge
for Hyunseok and Youngdoo.

Gwangsu.

Hyunseok was such a great fellow.

He was good at what he did, too.

He learned everything from you and me.

He was quite affable as well.

As for Youngdoo,

he wasn't too smart on the job,

but he was
the most diligent person I know.

Both of them
really looked up to us, right?

I feel like if I went
to work tomorrow morning,

I would see them there...

and if I were to call them,
they would all gather here right away.

I still can't accept what happened.

They...

tried to help us until the very end.
Did you know that?

So...

I feel even more sorry and guilty.

The only thing that's left for us

is to apologize and take responsibility.

Only then, both Youngdoo...

and Hyunseok...

will be able to rest in peace.

I shouldn't have come here.
I'll get going now, Gwangsu.

Hey, Kim Taekrok.

Stay alive, though, Gwangsu.

What favors did you do
for the region's development committee?

Do you have any evidence for that?

What time is it now?

It's a little after two o'clock.

Sir, a news article popped up.

About what?

Cheon Kiduk's secret transaction ledger.

CORRUPT TIES BETWEEN POLICE
AND GEUMO DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

Did the former chief Seo have a close tie
to the development committee?

CEO Shin Sunghan is said to be involved.
Is it related to redevelopment?

The former chief Seo Gwangsu confessed.

-Why didn't you announce it?
-Were you concealing it?

Our police will investigate any matter

strictly and thoroughly.

We will brief you on the progress

in more detail later in a press release.

-One more question, sir!
-Please wait, sir!

-Please tell us more!
-Please, sir!

Gosh, I feel quite uneasy.

Why did you take his cell phone?

I just didn't get to turn it in.

Then where were you
when the incident took place?

I was searching the area nearby
for the case I'm investigating.

I see. Can you tell me
about the case in detail?

Are you sure the chief installed the CCTV?

But the thing is...

An important piece of evidence
came out of your place.

So it became a fact.

You need to give
an explanation for that first.

You still have energy left
to smoke after all that?

Did you bring the information?

That's all I've got.

Thank you for this. Let's go.

Look at you. You look awful.

Go wash up. I'll get going.

What's this?

Just consider it my debt repayment.

Call me if you need anything else.

MUKDO GUESTHOUSE

Taekrok!

I left Kook Jinhan's information
in your room in case you need it.

Nothing notable,
but review it when you have time.

I'm really going now.

Thanks.

SEO GWANGSU,
GEUMO POLICE CHIEF TURNS HIMSELF IN

PROFILE
NAME: CHOI SUNGHOON

Gosh, this is uncomfortable.

CHOI SUNGHOON
JANGSUNG COMPANY

CHOI SUNGHOON

COMPANY NAME: JANG SECURITIES
CEO: JANG SUNGTAE

CORPORATE: JANG SECURITIES
PARTNERSHIPS: JANGSUNG COMPANY

The company Choi Sunghoon worked for

was partnering with Jang Securities.

Chairman Jang.

Choi Sunghoon was
the team leader of accounting.

What if Choi Sunghoon
was Kook Jinhan's spy?

And he committed suicide?

"An acquaintance... What's the relation?"

"We should meet first..."

He denied his connection to Kook Jinhan.

"We're just acquaintances."

He committed suicide or was murdered.

He was the only colleague
among the witnesses,

someone who knew
the company's internal affairs the best.

GU JUNGWOO

Gu Jungwoo.

REDEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL IN TWO DAYS

IF UNRESOLVED,
A SIGNIFICANT LOSS IS UNAVOIDABLE

We checked with Mr. Gu Jungwoo.

Mr. Choi Sunghoon purchased a ticket
to the U.S. a week before he died.

He planned on passing it on and leaving.

It's unlikely
that Choi Sunghoon committed suicide.

It's highly likely
that Choi Sunghoon was murdered.

Kook Jinhan was the first one
to report the case.

No charges were filed
after the investigation.

Then Chairman Jang...

Was Kook Jinhan really unaware of it?

Due to Choi Sunghoon's suicide,
Chairman Jang's case must've been halted.

Kook Jinhan must've been devastated.
What if Chairman Jang approached him then?

KOOK JINHAN

2022 POLICE UNIVERSITY SPECIAL LECTURE
LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL IN THE FIELD

Hello.

I'm with the investigation unit
at Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

I'm Sergeant Kim Taekrok.

I want to say that,

thanks to someone,
I get to give a lecture today.

Well, I wonder what helped me endure
the difficult life of being a cop.

We often say
it's one's own principles, convictions,

and a sense of justice.

To be honest,
it's hard to endure it without those.

Are you sure they're important?

Don't the police have the herd mentality?

Please be more honest with your answers.

Attention. One, two...

As you said,
police have the herd mentality indeed.

Why did you choose the police university?
You seem quite bright.

So I plan to drop out.

And do what?

That punk is the second son
of the deputy chief of police.

He's the runner-up,
but he took the oath as the representative

instead of me, who's the top.

And that punk over there.
His father is a floor leader.

The professors bow before him.

"I see.

Those punks will snatch away
all the high-ranking positions later.

Someone like me
with no money, power, or status

will just get eliminated."

I realized that over time.

You do want to be a cop
with principles, convictions,

and a sense of justice, don't you?

No.

I just want to be the best
no matter what I do and wherever I go.

Then be the best, man.

Show those punks how it's done
without money, power, and status.

Be the top.

I think you're a big enough of a jerk
to make that happen.

Make it happen, man.
I'll be rooting for you.

KOOK JINHAN

Hey, you jerk.

The herd mentality prevails everywhere.

I'll take it now.
Please look at the camera.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

Why on earth
did you do something like that?

You're an academy graduate.

What ifI didn't say anything
to Kook Jinhan that day?

Perhaps he wouldn't have become
the monster he is now at least.

If I had caught him a little sooner,
would Hyunseok...

still be alive?

I feel like everything is my fault.

I wonder if there is a reason why
he called me to Mokro Tavern.

Let's meet again tomorrow.

I swear I'll tell you everything.

It'll all be over tomorrow.

Hyunseok wanted
to tell me something that day.

What if he left me something?

If that's the case...

MOKRO TAVERN

What? You...

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry to startle you.

What happened?

I'll explain everything later.

You didn't do it, right?

No, of course not.

My goodness.

-Well...
-Give me a minute.

He put it on his tab and left me this.

But he couldn't return after all.

A burner phone.

It's his belonging,
so I'll leave it to you.

My goodness.

Hyunseok tried
to resolve it by himself,

and to prepare
for the worst-case scenario,

left the burner phone at Mokro Tavern.

Did he want me to be the backup
in case he fails?

The truth is locked up behind a passcode.

KIM TAEKROK

Do I hold the key to this?

ENTER PASSCODE

PASSCODE INCORRECT

It's very fortunate that you're dismissed
for insufficient evidence.

Arrest her immediately.

Pardon? What are the charges?

KOOK JINHAN, 20220416

Darn it.
Must I keep repeating myself?

What?

Just hand over the corruption
by the Chief.

Stop spewing nonsense.

Did you brace yourself?

Section Chief Woo Hyunseok.

He's currently dying.

Detective Lee Sunga.

Is it fun to fool
and betray your colleagues?

I have no idea what you mean.

If you're trying to buy time,
you chose the wrong method.

Of course, I saw this coming.

I'll handle it the same way, then.

Do you call helping a colleague
who is falsely accused

a betrayal?

Don't you usually call that being loyal?

You're admitting to the charges

of helping the culprit flee
and concealing it.

You meant this
when you said I'll be sorry.

A maximum prison sentence of three years
or a fine of up to five million won.

I'll turn you into a dishonorable cop.

You'll be dismissed at a minimum
and be convicted and imprisoned.

I made a fatal mistake.

I should've realized that you play dirty.

Where is the suspect now?

Do you really want to know?

The suspect is here right in front of me.

Why are you doing this,

even sacrificing yourself?

Because I trust Detective Kim.

I know what kind of person
Detective Kim is.

No matter what situation I was in,

he always remained the same.

What about you?

What are you sacrificing for?

Just hand over the corruption
by the Chief.

Stop spewing nonsense.

-Yes?
-Sunga has been arrested.

Harboring and helping the criminal
and abandonment of duties. Everything.

-What about you?
-I'm sure I'm next.

Get yourself out of there.

I'll contact you again.

Detective Kim, where...

-Get him!
-Kyungchan!

Get him now!

Wait!

-Stop right there!
-Hey!

-Stop!
-Hey!

-You punk!
-Gosh!

Hey.

And then?

ONE UNREAD MESSAGE

NO CALLER ID

Darn it.
Must I keep repeating myself?

What?

Just hand over the corruption

Stop spewing nonsense.

Did you brace yourself?

Section Chief Woo Hyunseok.

He's currently dying.

NO CALLER ID

A nice day to go fishing.

The sky is covered with dark clouds.

Hey there, friend.

Shall we go together?

Are you alone?

We all live life alone, anyway.

We should meet up.

Yes, we should.

Definitely this time.

Where are you?

Go ahead and speak.

As for Detective Kim Taekrok...

we'll finish him off.

Finish him off?

No. I'm going to finish things off myself.

Stay out of this.

Don't you get it?

What do you mean?

This matter is out of your hands now,
Chairman Jang.

Either I kill him or get killed,
I'll make the decision.

So don't tell me what to do, you scumbag!

We could've been friends.

That's too bad.

I lost three friends already.

I don't need a friend anymore.

I just don't want anyone else to die.

Take it.

Do you think...

you came out on top?

You know that I had many chances
to kill you, right?

But why do I feel like this?

Strangely, I feel defeated.

There are no winners or losers.

There is no game that ends
only when someone dies.

You're wrong. I set the rules.

This game must end.

This is no fun. Let's end this quickly.

I have nowhere to go now, anyway.

Chief Seo, Chairman Jang,

or Geumo city is no longer any use to me.

Thanks to you!

I also didn't come here

as a policeman with a sense of justice
or duty to catch you.

I came to give you a chance
to turn things back around yourself.

To return to your old self.

You punk!

You used to be uncompromising and smart.

What made you become like this?

I guess you finally remembered.

Even though it's a bit late.

You don't feel guilty

or responsible,

because of what you said
to me before, do you?

That's not why you came here, right?

What I meant by that was not to give in
to those who are not as good as you.

-I wasn't telling you to become like them!
-Don't!

Don't talk to me like that
as if you're better than me.

As if you're a great cop.

Like old times.

I'm just an old cop

full of regrets and pain now.

But you can turn things around.

Just stop now.

You still have a chance.

A chance?

Because of my choice from 20 years ago,

I've taken the wrong path
all the way here.

But you say, I can turn things around?

I... I have a chance?

Why did you have to come into my life?

Why?

During the few days we stayed together,

do you even know
how difficult and painful it was for me?

I was envious... just a little.

And I enjoyed it just a little.

Darn it, I was happy!

This darn police game that I am playing!

Why did you come into my life
and make things difficult for me? Why?

We came too far.

I can't go back now.

Go back to your family.

It's not too late.

If you mention my family ever again,

I'll kill your family

and everyone else that your family knows.

I'll kill them myself.

Killing someone doesn't change anything.

You'll just commit more wrongdoings.

And your wrongdoings
will pierce your heart...

every breath you take.

That's how it is for me.

Stop now.

I can't fall
into the bottomless pit again.

Even if you come back out
to the world old and shabby,

your family...

will be waiting for you.

They'll realize that you had no choice
but to do this for the family.

Hey.

Don't be a cop in your next life.

Being a cop...

doesn't suit us.

Never again...

I don't want to be...

a cop ever again.

I felt so lonely.

I...

In my next life...

In my next life--

No.

No!

No!

Hey. No.

No.

Don't try to talk.

Don't try to talk, you punk!

Don't try to talk.

In my next life...

I want to become friends...
