BAD GUYS

BAD GUYS

Hey.

What's this?

Don't ask me anything. Just let me go.

REASON FOR MURDER

EPISODE 5

How may we help you?

Hello! People are dying here!

Some crazy bastards suddenly barged in

and started beating up my boys for no reason.

What are you doing?

I'm calling the cops.

Hello, I'm a police officer.

There was a little tussle while making an arrest.

-You don't need to... -I beg your pardon?

Who did you call?

Well... I dialed 411.

Why? To get the number for Chinese takeout?

Don't forget.

Dial 111 to report spies and 112 to report a crime.

In case of a fire, call 911. To report a drug crime, call 127.

-What's the number to report a drug crime? -It's 127.

Here.

What?

Tell them you're the sole distributor for drugs in Seoul.

Report yourself, you moron.

Here.

Hello? I'm calling to report a crime.

Yes, it's drug-related.

No, I didn't find the drugs.

How should I put this? I'm the one who makes them.

Wrap it up.

Have all the druggies been taken care of?

We'll be free of drugs for now.

Who's getting the reduction?

You guys figure it out.

-Psycho can take it this time. -Why?

You got ten years knocked off for Madam Hwang.

Don't be so greedy.

Hey, psycho. You take it this time.

Sure.

Or let me have it. Then I'll have four years left.

You really are a greedy pig, aren't you?

What the heck are you doing?

Sorry, I'll call you back. Okay.

Commissioner Nam, what brings you by?

Take a seat.

My team caught Hwang Kyung-soon,

but you denied the warrant for her arrest, Prosecutor Jang.

Well, let's sit down and talk.

How about a cup of tea?

I'll explain everything. Have a seat.

Don't touch me.

How dare you touch my uniform with that filthy hand of yours?

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir.

Commissioner Nam, you're out of line.

My goodness. You're too comfortable here, aren't you?

All you do is twirl your pen around.

Have you forgotten the weight of handcuffs, Prosecutor Jang?

This isn't the Police HQ in Jongno. That's enough, Commissioner Nam.

What brings you here, Prosecutor Oh?

I'm here because of you, Commissioner Nam.

Is your wrist okay? Try moving it.

Yes. Jeez. Get with the times, old man.

Aggression solves nothing. Gosh.

Answer my question. Is your wrist okay?

Yes. It's fine, sir.

Good.

Then let me cuff you.

What? Sir!

I will not let one bad apple spoil the entire barrel.

And I won't sit by and watch you bring disgrace to your colleagues.

This will teach him the weight of handcuffs.

OATH OF PROSECUTORS

A special investigation...

There are people like Prosecutor Jang in the police too.

Our goal is to uproot all the public officials

who have ties to the human trafficking ring.

Is that why you came back, Prosecutor Oh?

I'm sure no one wanted to take on such a sensitive investigation.

That's why they brought me back.

That's right. Prosecutor Bull!

Once you take on a case, you mercilessly bulldoze your way

through the investigation until you track down everyone involved.

Hence the nickname. "Bull" as in "bulldozer," right?

Oh, boy.

I trust that you will bulldoze your way

through this investigation as well, Prosecutor Oh.

Commissioner Nam, I'm really curious.

Who are the lead actors in this movie of yours?

The reports say, "Special Crime Investigation Division."

But I've never heard of such a division.

The police and prosecution were after

the human trafficking ring for the past three years.

But they couldn't catch them.

Whereas your team wiped them out in three weeks.

Let me get straight to the point.

Who are the members and who is in charge of this division?

Do you think I'm asking you directly because I can't find out on my own?

Or do you think I'm doing this out of respect for you?

Why do you want to know?

Because I may be able to help you.

As you know, prosecutors are the ones who wrap things up.

Are you offering to wrap up the cases

that the team solves?

From indictment to sentencing, I'll take care of everything.

Only if you'd let me, of course.

That's very nice of you,

but it's not up to me.

This is something the team should decide.

Who's in charge?

It's someone named Oh Gu-tak.

Oh, Captain Oh Gu-tak?

Do you know him?

Yes. I know Captain Oh very well.

The paddy wagon will be here soon. Let's get going.

Okay. I'll be right over, Captain Oh.

Something must've come up.

No, we're just working on a case.

It seems that my team can't function without me.

Detective Jung. You seem like a very nice person.

I wish

they had someone like you

working on my husband's case.

A few weeks after my husband died,

the police called and said the man who killed my husband

turned himself in.

So I told them

that I wanted to meet the man

who turned himself in.

I wanted to ask him a question.

What did you want to ask him?

The reason...

he killed...

my husband.

He was a good husband and a great father.

He never once did anything to cause harm to others.

So why...

Why did he have to kill him?

If the man who killed your husband...

If he were to...

deeply regret...

what he did,

would you accept his apology?

You give an apology

when you make a mistake.

Murder...

isn't a mistake.

It's a crime.

I can...

never...

forgive that man.

Ever.

Anyway, Detective Jung. Thank you very much for everything.

You don't need to visit me anymore.

Why not?

I'm going home tomorrow.

I must return to work.

Stay here a little longer so you can get treated.

Then who's going to make money?

Don't you get a million won sent to your account every month?

What do you mean?

Who would send me money for no reason?

Where is she?

I have no idea.

I send money to her account. That's all.

PAWNSHOP

What happened?

I must kill someone.

Will you turn a blind eye?

If you let me kill that scumbag, I'll do anything you say.

So please...

Please let me kill that piece of trash.

If I don't kill him,

I can't see her ever again...

because of the guilt.

Jung Tae-su. Why do you keep acting up like this?

-Hey. I'm talking to you. -Leave him be.

Just leave him be.

What?

Inspector Oh Gu-tak.

Are you a cop or criminal?

Don't you know why you're here? You're here to keep them under control.

You're here to monitor and control those senseless criminals.

Senior Inspector Yoo. You keep using that word, "control."

But what did Tae-su even do?

It's not like he killed someone or tried to run.

He came here to check something, so he did that and left.

What's the problem?

It's not that simple.

Those guys are criminals.

Are they not human?

Must we hold prejudice against ex-cons

who are trying to make a fresh start just because of their past crimes?

Listen carefully.

To you, this is a means to an end. But this is all they've got.

You're doing this to impress your higher-ups

and work your way up the ladder.

But it's different for them.

They're at the end of their rope, trying to crawl back up

even if their nails and bones are getting crushed. Why?

Because they'll die if they fall.

If you can't show them support, at least don't push them to their demise.

Okay?

You are a civil servant after all.

Yes, we're on our way now.

We'll be there shortly.

The paddy wagon has arrived.

I'll try to track down Lim Jong-dae or whatever his name is,

so don't do anything foolish, Tae-su.

Stop the car.

-What happened? -People got killed.

Right, so what happened?

A mass shooting. Stop asking.

-Lift him. -Mom!

There was a similar incident in Gaseong-dong a few days ago.

Could it be the same guy?

You guys will have to stay out a little longer.

Five years for this one.

A 12-gauge shotgun, 2 empty shells.

Double barrel.

Not ideal for hunting given it only holds two shells.

Was it for trapshooting?

Where would I have fired the gun?

If I were this guy...

A good spot to hide.

A clear line of sight to the targets. An easy place to shoot.

It's here.

The first shot.

Second.

Third.

Fourth.

Then move.

Fifth.

Sixth.

Six shots, six hits.

Zero errors.

One shot, one hit.

He's a sniper.

What have you found out?

Just that this guy knows how to shoot.

The mass shooting that happened three days ago was just like this one.

A black hat, a mask and a khaki green shirt.

Shotgun in a fishing rod case.

Six shots, six dead.

Of course. It's probably the same guy.

Even the brief pause between the fifth and sixth shots are identical.

What do you mean?

You heard me.

Two shots.

Load.

Two shots again.

It's the same interval except for when he's reloading.

Third, fourth.

Then reload again.

But this time, there was a pause.

He fired one shot, the fifth one.

The sixth shot was fired carefully.

Like a hunter catching the prey he's been watching,

he held his breath, aimed carefully

and fired.

The sixth shot.

The witnesses said the same thing.

For both cases, there was a pause between the last two shots.

Why would that be?

We'll have to find out.

Hey, psycho.

Did you just smile?

A smile doesn't suit you.

Just stick with the grumpy face.

How do you plan to catch the perp?

That I can't tell you.

I'm not a team player, unlike someone.

Hello, Yoo Mi-young speaking.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

The geographic profiling results are out.

There doesn't seem to be an escape route,

so they believe he lives in Gangseo.

The profiler says there's a high chance

that he lives near Hwayeon, Yeomcheong, or Gaseong-dong.

Hey. I'm talking to you. Are you ignoring me...

Hey, wake up.

I'm not sleeping. I'm thinking with my eyes closed.

Your eyes aren't closed.

I'm not sleeping.

I'm thinking with my eyes closed.

-I said, your eyes are not closed. -What happened?

What did you say? What did the perp do?

Wipe that drool off your face and take a look at this.

This cab was at the scene in Gaseong as well as the most recent crime scene.

Oh, that taxi?

So the perp disguised himself as a cab driver?

He wouldn't have been pulled over.

If that's the case, those plates must be fake.

Can you run it?

Nothing will come up.

Then how will we catch him?

We'll set up a trap and wait until he's on the move again.

Just follow me.

She's always getting mad at me.

This smells weird.

What are you doing here?

What's that?

It's information on the victims.

Do we need it? It was a random shooting.

Yes, we do.

These crimes happen because this society is rotten.

So why do we assume that they're all some lunatics' acts of violence? Damn!

Jung-moon. Let me ask you something.

Who were the victims in the Hwayeon-dong case?

Why did you kill them?

Should I not ask?

Do you still believe that you're innocent?

What do you think?

What's your take on it, Oh Gu-tak?

I was hoping...

Damn it. I'm not sure.

Same here.

I was hoping I didn't do it,

but I'm not sure anymore.

INDOOR SHOOTING RANGE

Hyun-woo, it's been a while.

Tae-su.

Instead of using a hunting rifle, he used a double-barrel shotgun.

If he intended to do a mass shooting,

it would've been better to use a hunting rifle with a higher RPM.

Did you check the privately-owned firearms?

Fire.

The police did, but didn't find anyone suspicious.

All firearms must be stored at the local police station.

Fire.

He wouldn't have used his own gun since they track it closely.

That's why I came to see you.

What do you mean?

Fire.

The perp didn't use his own gun. That's my conclusion.

Take this shooting range, for example. There are many guns here.

What are you talking about?

The guns here are managed by the police too.

Do you always ask the cops for permission to use a gun to kill someone?

Hey, what's with you?

Come on. Every shooting range has a few unregistered guns.

Can you find out if any shooting range is missing a gun in Seoul or Gyeonggi?

It'll be quicker if you do it.

I'm off. Let me know.

Hey.

You'll hurt your eyes.

You play it safe. I'll play dangerously. That's how it's always been.

Oh, right.

Aren't you curious how I got out? Why don't you ask?

Mr. Lim told me a little while ago.

Where is he now?

Isn't he at the pawnshop?

No, he's not there.

If he contacts you, let me know.

I have some business to discuss with that jerk.

I'm not a good driver, boss. I've never driven a big car before.

What?

Start the car.

I guess I'll improve with practice.

I'm ready, boss.

But if it's not done within two weeks,

you'll be the one to die.

-What's today's date? -Why? Is something wrong?

I told you not to ask questions just for the sake of it.

It's August 17. Independence Day was two days ago.

I can't believe it's already been two weeks.

Two hours felt like forever in jail.

-Hi. -Are you ready?

I am, Senior Inspector Yoo.

I'll call you if I spot the same plate number.

The sixth victim in both cases worked for the same company.

Samjin Electric in Magang-dong, Gangseo.

First case victim, Jung Chun-gi.

Age 46. Managed Production Team 1 at Samjin Electric.

He was diabetic.

He and his wife jogged together daily before work.

The incident occurred on the morning of August 13.

Second case victim, Kang Seok-ho.

Age 38. Managed the HR team at Samjin Electric.

On August 16, the day of the shooting,

he met his girlfriend, Kim Mi-ae, at the park as usual.

Mi-ae!

So? What's your point?

The pause between the last two shots.

He carefully shot his sixth victim.

The sixth victim in both cases worked for the same company

and the shootings occurred at spots where they were frequently seen.

Also, the first victims

were very close to them.

He shot their loved one first so his target couldn't flee.

Then he took out the target in one lethal blow with the last shot?

What about the other victims?

What is it?

We have the perp's location.

He's passing Hwayeon Station.

-Hwayeon 3-dong, Ujeongsan Station. -Got it.

Make a turn toward Hwayeon Middle School.

Hey, make a turn. Hwayeon Middle School.

Okay. But are we tailing someone...

Shut up and drive. I'm on the phone.

What now? Just crash into his car?

It's too risky. Hit him when he's at a signal.

Turn right at the intersection.

-Make a right. -Okay.

Boss, I think that's it. 9875.

Yes, get closer.

Get him now.

Wait here.

Okay, boss.

Hey!

You're hiding your head like a turtle.

Who are you?

Where's your fishing rod case?

Where's the gun?

Oh my gosh.

What's your problem? Are you a thug? Are you...

Shut up and open the trunk.

You don't want to? Fine, I'll do it.

What?

Don't kill me...

Why did you do that? Why did you do that to us?

You little...

Help me... Please help me.

Damn it.

It's been two weeks. Did you finish the job?

I thought so.

Let's go.

To die.

One dead, four in critical condition.

Who's the victim that died?

Cho Gap-jin, age 52. An ordinary office worker.

Which company?

Samjin Electric. Director of Production Team 1.

Where's Woong-chul?

I can't locate his ankle monitor at the moment.

What's gotten into you? I'm surprised you're so calm about it.

He's not the type to escape during an operation.

This time, it feels different. Let's trust him and wait.

We should trust him.

Life's funny, isn't it?

How did we end up in this mess?

You always followed my orders without any complaints.

That's the Woong-chul I know.

Can you do me a favor?

What is it?

Let me make a quick call.

Why? You want to call the cops and beg them for help?

There's a message I must pass on.

It's something no one else knows.

So if I die here,

they can't catch that bastard.

You saw what happened. It's wrong to hurt others like that.

You're about to die, yet you want to catch that prick?

That scumbag is killing innocent people.

I must catch that bastard at all costs.

Please help me out.

You can kill me after that.

Please?

DOWNTOWN MASS SHOOTING

-Here. -Thanks.

Pay them a visit.

They lost an unregistered shotgun about two weeks ago.

A 12-gauge shotgun for trapshooting.

Okay, thanks. I owe you one.

Don't you think that's odd?

What's odd?

He didn't make a single mistake in the first two cases.

This time, he made so many.

Four were injured because he got too worked up.

On top of that,

he shot one person twice.

This one's too different from the first two cases.

What do you think?

I'm not sure.

You're never quick to judge.

Anyway, thanks. I'll catch you later.

Tae-su.

Don't you want to know what happened to me?

Why won't you ask?

I was waiting for you to tell me.

Can't be something good.

I decided to quit killing people.

That's why this happened.

That's too big a price to pay.

Who is it? Who did this to your leg?

It was Jong-seok.

Be careful of him.

Jong-seok and I won't cross paths again.

We made a pledge not to meet again until one of us dies.

If we happen to meet,

one of us dies on the spot.

Anyway, congratulations.

I hope you can live a good and normal life now.

GROOM: HYUN-WOO BRIDE: MYUNG-HWA

Woong-chul?

Where are you?

Why do you care? I'm just taking care of some business.

What kind of business?

You don't need to know. Stop prying or I'll beat you up.

Anyway, I called an obnoxious jerk like you because...

What do you mean?

Are you deaf? I'll say it one more time, so listen up.

Before firing the last shot, the perp said...

Why did you do that? Why did you do that to us?

-Us? -That's what he said.

Why are you telling me this?

I'm dumb so I have no idea what he meant by that.

But you can figure it out.

You may be a prick, but you are pretty smart.

That's it?

Something's up, right?

Tae-su.

Make sure you catch that bastard.

I have to go.

Now, do what you need to do.

Jung Tae-su?

Are you Jung Tae-su?

I have a job for you.

What kind of job?

I'll pay double the going rate.

I'll pay half upfront. You'll get the rest when the job's done.

Here, this is the guy.

I want you to kill him using the cruelest means possible.

Why do you want him dead?

No reason.

I just want him to die.

I'm not doing it.

Who's behind this?

Who ordered you to get this person killed?

What happened?

Those bastards you beat up have gone off the grid.

You'll be released tomorrow.

I was thinking you and Woong-chul were awfully quiet for a while.

Park Woong-chul...

He called me.

Where is he?

I don't know. He didn't say.

But he told me

to catch the perp no matter what.

I suppose he can't do it himself now.

He said catching the perp was more important

although I have no idea why.

Check out this place.

I think this is where the shooters stole the guns.

Shooters?

It's just us two now.

They're helping us even if it means they won't get their sentence reduced.

Let's catch this one.

They started frequenting our range about two months ago.

One of them seemed like an experienced hunter,

whereas the other one looked like he'd never held a gun in his life.

How often did those two come here?

Almost every day.

Jang Myung-jin and Ko Chang-sik. It was two of them.

-Hey. -We're ready, sir.

Don't do anything rash. Just be on standby for now.

Open up! Hey!

Move.

Damn it.

Are you sure there was no other reason?

Yes, that's it. That's all I can tell you.

I only did what Myung-jin told me to do.

I can't shoot so I told Myung-jin to kill all of them.

But he said he couldn't trust me unless I did it too, so he forced me...

Stop.

That's enough.

What a pair of foolish bastards.

Where is Jang Myung-jin?

I don't know.

He said the cops were closing in on us

and told me not to contact him.

How many victims did you initially plan to kill?

It's not over yet, is it?

Who else did you plan to kill?

You have to let me off the hook if I help you with this.

Don't worry. I'm not that shady.

Listen up.

If you see anyone who looks like him, check him out.

Be on high alert.

-Got it. -Yes, sir.

My 12 o'clock. Man in the black cap. Check him out.

What's going on? Do you have him?

All right, listen.

All you need to do is take a walk as if nothing is up.

Please do as I say or you could get hurt.

Okay.

What was that?

It's just a balloon. It's not him.

What was that? What happened?

Is he here? Where is he now?

It was nothing. Please calm down.

How can I calm down right now?

Lower your voice, damn it.

What? Did you just swear at me?

Which precinct do you belong to?

Jang Myung-jin.

Don't move!

-Don't come close! -Help! Please don't kill me!

I know why you're doing this.

Shut up!

You and Ko Chang-sik worked for Samjin Electric.

The company was in the red due to the CEO's embezzlement.

Jung Chun-gi and Cho Gap-jin who were both in Production Team 1

suggested the company lay off 20 part-time employees

to patch up the losses.

And Kang Seok-ho, the HR manager, executed that plan.

Why am I getting fired?

Don't ask questions.

We have our reasons.

Don't ask me. You people told me not to ask questions.

He said we should make it look like a random shooting.

Then the police wouldn't look for a motive

which means we wouldn't be suspected.

And we wouldn't get caught.

But this is wrong.

It's wrong to kill innocent people just to cover up your murders.

You lost your job and couldn't pay your wife's medical bills.

You're angry because you lost your wife and had to put your child up for adoption.

But this is wrong, Myung-jin.

Do you know anything about the people you killed?

Cho Yong-sun, age 46.

A cleaner caring for his mother who has Alzheimer's.

Kim Cheol-ki, age 57.

A hardworking bus driver supporting his daughter.

Park Sang-kyu, age 45. He was laid off recently just like you.

Stay away!

Kim Mi-jung, age 25. She was a soon-to-be bride.

Stay away, you bastard!

Choi Joon-seok, age 34.

His wife died of illness.

He was on his way home from her funeral.

Just like you.

Please, honey...

Please!

No!

If you want to kill someone,

kill someone like me.

I'd only hurt others if I went on living,

so kill me instead.

What are you doing?

Why must you attack the likes of you? They're not the ones who wronged you.

Why must you hurt the likes of you?

Why?

Shoot.

Go ahead and shoot.

Shoot. Shoot me, you bastard!

Jung-moon.

That's not your decision to make.

Jung-moon.

What you said earlier.

Did it come from your heart or your head?

What is this? Why did they cuff me?

Embezzlement. That's a crime too, a serious one.

You said you'd let me off the hook!

I know.

What can I do? I was born a bit shady.

-You piece of... -Take him.

You little...

Hello?

I can see why Commissioner Nam likes this place so much.

It's the perfect spot to collect your thoughts

and have secret meetings.

Commissioner Nam filled me in on my way here.

You want to prosecute our cases?

-Yes. -Why?

Bees are attracted to flowers. What more can I say?

You got the wrong idea. We're sewer rats, not flowers.

Then I'll be a sewer fly.

Jokes aren't funny if you take it too far.

It was nice meeting you. I'll see you around.

Why are you pushing me away?

Is it because your team is made up of criminals?

Why are you so surprised? That's not all I know.

I know how their pasts intertwine with yours.

I know everything.

Was it two years ago?

A lot happened between you and those guys.

Do they know? Because of that incident two years ago...

Jokes aren't funny if you take it too far.

I hope you'll consider my offer.

Oh, dear.

Do you remember the first time you came to me?

You said you wanted the good life

and would hate to die after living as a dry cleaner's son

your whole life.

You said that to me, remember?

So I gave you the kind of life you wanted.

You drove a nice car, wore fancy clothes and ate good stuff.

Thanks to me, you lived a lavish lifestyle.

How could you do this to me?

Did I ask you to kill an innocent person?

Lee Jung-moon is a murderer, a serial killer.

You still wear that ring?

I see that the plating has worn off.

When I gave you that ring,

I promised to buy you one made of real gold once I became rich.

I completely forgot about that.

I'm sorry, boss.

You can still keep that promise.

Just kill Lee Jung-moon and we can start over.

Thanks to you, I got to experience the lavish life.

And I'm grateful for that.

But you see,

a lavish life

isn't necessarily a good life.

I lived an extravagant life while working for you.

I thought, "This is the kind of life a man ought to live."

You know what though?

Back then,

I never once had a good night's sleep.

Every night, I had nightmares about those I had killed.

They would torment me by asking why I killed them.

But I didn't even know what to say.

Anyway, that's why I never had a good night's sleep.

What about you, boss?

Do you sleep well at night?

Woong-chul, you little...

-Boss. -How dare you.

-Boss. -Have you lost your mind?

Du-kwang!

Let me...

get some sleep at night.

Please!

Get the car ready.

We're burying Woong-chul today.

BAD GUYS

Are you really going to kill Woong-chul?

We got Park's location.

Where is Woong-chul?

What happened?

Damn it.

Who is it? Who ordered you to kill me?

Du-kwang's been kidnapped. It must be someone he knows well.

I think you're being foolhardy.

I'm old enough to know better. Foolhardiness can get you killed.

A breaking ball would be better than a fastball.

-All right. Here's the first pitch. -Let's go.

Freeze, or I'll shoot you.

Where is Son Moon-ki?

It's a coup, a mutiny.

The father killed the grandfather only to be whacked by his son.

What a hot mess.

Turn the car around. Now!

Listen to me if you want to live!

-Die. I just need you dead. -Du-kwang!

None of this would've happened had you killed him on time.

Goodbye.
