Seoul Busters

[Tansik] Guys, this is the interrogation room.

It's used for interrogation.

-[students exclaim] -[student] I see.

[Tansik] We interrogate people here...

[Junghwan] Minseo.

You left this out of the reimbursement.

[in English] Thank you, thank you.

[in Korean] Anyway, how much longer will that tour take?

It's almost over.

A daycare center full of high schoolers?

I can't tell if I'm at school or at work.

Hey, stop scratching your head and just wash your hair already.

It doesn't itch that badly yet.

Seriously, people shouldn't wash their hair every day.

-We live in a water-stressed country. -[Junghwan] Listen.

I bet camels in the desert wash up more often than you.

[Minseo] Hmph.

By the way, does that boy know Detective Jang?

He's sticking so close to him.

He looks up to our rookie.

[whispers] He looks up to Jang Tansik?

-[Minseo] Yes. -Why?

The boy's father once got involved in a road debris accident,

and Detective Jang tracked down the perp.

-[Tansik] Is everything clear? -[students] Yes.

[Minseo] What's this? 300 won for craft sticks?

Remember when we captured that wanted man

-outside the stationery store? -Yes.

We accidentally damaged some craft sticks in the process.

And the store owner demanded 300 won.

For the damages?

Yeah, can you believe it?

Please make sure I get reimbursed.

I paid for it out of my own pocket.

[Joongryeok] Junghwan.

[♪ comical music playing]

This is 100 won short.

[groans]

Anyway, please reimburse me.

[Minseo] I'll reimburse you 100 won.

You've already been paid 200 won.

-But still... -[Minseo] Go away.

-Bye. -See you.

-You're so handsome. -[laughs]

-Bye. -Take care.

-See you. -Bye.

[student grunts]

-Tansik, take this. -What's this?

I told my dad I was coming here, and he wanted me to give this to you.

He didn't have to.

What bold colors.

-[student] Right? -Yeah. [chuckles]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Beomjoon, don't eat instant noodles too often.

You should eat well.

How did you know I had instant noodles for lunch?

[whispering] I have a really good sense of smell.

[both chuckle]

Oh, you're like Sherlock Holmes.

-You should get going. -[Beomjoon] Okay, see you.

-Say hi to your father for me. -[Beomjoon] Will do.

-[Tansik] Bye. -[Beomjoon] Bye.

Why are you just standing there, sir?

You guys were blocking the way.

Oh. Sorry about that.

Ah.

-How did you know he had instant noodles? -Instant noodles?

Ah.

I just smelled them.

If you ask me how I did that...

All I can say is that I smelled them, so I said he smelled like them.

Then can you figure out what I had for lunch?

[awkward chuckle]

Let me give it a try.

Please excuse me.

[inhales sharply] I'm not sure.

I don't smell anything.

That's incredible.

I haven't had lunch yet!

[gasps] Ah.

You must have extremely well-developed olfactory neurons.

The human nose is one of the oldest sensory organs,

yet its exact method of detecting smells remains to be fully understood.

In short, it's an incredibly mysterious organ.

You must be...

[in English] ...a natural-born...

[in Korean] ...bloodhound.

[Yubin chuckles]

Oh, I'm no match for a dog.

Dogs are amazing.

[Yubin] Don't say that.

I think you might be even better than a dog.

You really have the nose of a dog.

Are you calling me a dog?

[both laughing]

I'm flattered.

Would you like to try these on, sir?

-What are these? -They're top-quality socks. [chuckles]

[♪ comical music playing]

[Yubin in English] Wow. "Nice."

[in Korean] Guess this brand is popular with young people these days. [chuckles]

[♪ ominous suspenseful music playing]

Is that a person?

Excuse me.

Hello?

Episode 9

[Yubin] Keep up the good work.

Captain.

A resident found the body on his way to church this morning

and called the police right away, around 4:05 a.m.

I see.

[Yubin] What's up with Detective Jang?

He knew the victim. You see, the other day...

-[in English] "Nice." -[in Korean] What do you mean, nice?

The victim is the father of the boy from the recent tour.

How do you know that?

His socks.

[Yubin] And the weapon?

They didn't find it at the scene, so they're searching the area.

But they haven't found anything yet. We're still looking.

-Check the CCTVs and dashcams first. -Yes, sir.

[Eunkyung] The body is badly mangled.

Judging by the wounds,

he must've been struck with a blunt weapon.

Not just once but multiple times.

It doesn't seem premeditated though.

I'm not so sure. It might not have been a chance event.

[♪ pensive music playing]

-[gasps] That's hot! -[Junghwan exclaims]

Are you okay, sir?

-[Yubin groans] -[Junghwan] Here, it's piping hot.

Okay, thanks.

Sure. Here.

[♪ pensive music playing]

[thwacking]

CCTV facing another direction

A dead end

Red bricks

[mini truck door opens]

Hold on a second.

[bricks rattling]

This is like looking for a needle in... What was it?

-[Junghwan] A haystack? -Exactly.

Hey, have you found anything?

[Tansik] No, nothing yet.

Oh! I found it!

-Under your right foot. -Where?

That's it, right? Captain!

We found it.

The victim is Mr. Yoon Haesik.

He sold items like socks from a truck.

[Junghwan] The weapon, a brick, was found at a nearby construction site,

with blood matching that of the victim.

[Joongryeok] I knew something was off.

I had a hunch.

Since the weapon was found on the street, we can assume it was manslaughter.

[Joongryeok] Everything's falling into place.

It's the work of a mugger.

Considering the method and the scene, it's 100% a mug...

It wasn't a mugger.

No, it wasn't.

A mugger wouldn't have been this cruel.

So the killer's too cruel to be a mugger?

Most wounds were inflicted after the victim lost consciousness,

and they were focused on his face.

There were emotions involved.

[Joongryeok groans] Should I remind you how cruel muggers can be?

In the mugging case in 2009 at the Mullae-dong Intersection,

the victim...

Nothing was stolen, so it couldn't have been a mugger.

Nothing was stolen?

Nothing at all.

[sighs] I don't know what exactly happened,

but how could someone murder another person so brutally?

[loud thump]

[in shaky voice] I'll...

catch the killer with my own hands.

-[Tansik breathing shakily] -Are you okay, Tansik?

Tansik!

[Joongryeok] What's up with him?

He knew the victim.

Why are you back?

I realized the meeting wasn't over yet.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

It's likely that the murder was motivated by a grudge.

Let's find those who held a grudge against the victim.

Mr. Yoon was a really nice person.

I doubt anyone held a grudge against him.

We'll see about that.

-We'll catch the killer. -[pats]

[Joongryeok] This is so unlike you.

-Let's catch the bastard. -[pats]

[Minseo] Do you recognize him?

He lived around here for a long time.

Don't get me started.

-Yoon, the socks seller, was notorious. -Also known as Mad Dog.

[both] Right, right?

"Mad Dog"?

[both] Right, right.

Did he often clash with his neighbors?

[both] Right, right.

And a lot of people held grudges against him?

[both] Right, right.

Including you two?

Nuh-uh.

Nuh-uh?

You mean no.

[both] Right, right.

Right, right. Of course not.

-[stomach growling] -[inhales sharply]

I'm sorry, but may I use your restroom?

It's being repaired. Right?

You'll have to use the one at the cell phone store nearby. Right?

I can't hold it much longer. Where did you say the restroom was?

Just go out and turn at the toast shop. You'll see the phone store there.

-Sorry, I have to run. -[♪ comical music playing]

She really needed to go.

[both] Right, right?

-Here you go, sir. -Thanks.

[officer grunts] He was involved in many incidents.

Like what?

He was reported every other day.

I need a copy of this, so grab me a pen and paper.

Sorry?

It'll take forever to copy this by hand.

Why not just take a picture?

Officer Jang, was it?

Are you one to give advice?

I obviously don't carry a camera around.

You could use your phone...

I don't have it on me.

[♪ mellow ringtone music playing]

Oh, that's my alarm. I carry around my alarm clock.

Should I take a picture and send it to you?

-I have my reasons for what I do. -Of course.

NEULBIT FUNERAL HALL

Beomjoon.

Was there anyone who was on bad terms with your father?

Not that I know of.

[sighs] I figured.

But does anyone come to mind?

Did he ever argue with anyone?

People he argued with?

There's Mr. Jang next door,

and then there's the supermarket lady, the chicken joint guy,

the produce vendor, and the wallpaper guy.

Oh, and Pastor Yoon too.

-Even a pastor? -[Beomjoon] Yes.

They even grabbed each other by the collar.

But they made up soon after.

In a word,

he was our neighborhood's...

public enemy.

Public enemy?

He clashed with every single person in the neighborhood.

When my house was being renovated,

he threatened to sue me over the dust and noise.

But you managed to put up with him.

Was there anyone who was on especially bad terms with him?

The one who was on the worst terms with him?

I think he was equally on bad terms...

with everyone.

-[Junghwan clears throat] -He may have been a bit of a hothead,

but his socks were excellent.

I know. I only wore his socks.

[patron 1] Me too.

His socks were so nice and sturdy.

[hairdresser] They were the best.

[patron 2] They came in various colors too.

-[patron 3] What a shame. -[hairdresser sighs]

[mouse clicking]

[Yubin] This is bad.

I've run out of chocolate.

Victim Yoon Haesik

[Joongryeok sighs]

There are way too many people who held a grudge against him.

He was more of a brawler than a socks seller.

"Enigma chocolate"

[Tansik] Still, his socks were amazing.

We have way too many suspects.

Start by checking their alibis.

Huh? All of them?

Sorry?

Yes, what else can we do?

"What else can we do?" You must be kidding me!

That's going to take forever!

I'll work twice as hard.

Don't be absurd! You'll only cause twice as much trouble.

-This time, I'll... -Be quiet! Argh!

-[Minseo] Hey, hey! -I'm sorry.

-[Joongryeok] Come on. -[Minseo] You should've been more careful.

Purchase

[all groan]

-[Minseo] Hey! What do we do? -[Tansik] I'm sorry.

[Junghwan] Hey, watch out. You'll get shocked.

[Yubin] You're still here.

Oh, Captain.

I'm off.

-[Tansik sighs loudly] -[car beeps]

[♪ comical music playing]

Something's bothering me.

But don't worry about it.

[sighs loudly]

[Tansik] Captain.

I don't think I'm cut out to be a detective.

[♪ sentimental music playing]

-[phone buzzing] -I'm doing my best though.

"Chief Jung Jingyu"

I worked my butt off

to transfer from the traffic division to the Violent Crimes Team.

[Yubin] Yes?

I dreamed of becoming a police officer working in the field

and busting criminals.

[Yubin] Is that right?

This time,

I'm determined to catch the culprit with my own hands.

[Yubin] Oh.

But I keep making mistakes and causing others trouble.

I'm not sure if I should even remain in the force.

[Yubin sighs]

[sighs]

Do you have any advice for me, sir?

-[Yubin] I have to go. -You...

-Sorry? -Sorry?

-What? -What?

Oh.

-[chuckles] -I see.

What do you think we are?

We're...

the Violent Crimes Team.

[Yubin chuckles softly]

I really think of us as a team.

Not everyone has to be a cleanup hitter.

That's not what makes a team strong.

You have a good nose.

-For cases? -For instant noodles.

Instant noodles?

[Yubin chuckles softly]

I'm sure there's a role for you on our team.

[♪ sentimental music playing]

[Yubin chuckles softly]

Thank you, sir.

[both sigh]

[door closes, chimes]

[♪ bright music playing]

[♪ music winds down abruptly]

[Yubin] I ordered the classic flavor,

but I received the mint flavor.

[laughs]

No, I only eat the classic flavor.

[Joongryeok] Manchester United is winning four to zero. [groans]

[loudly] Good morning, detectives!

You're full of energy this morning. I'm scared.

We're in for trouble. My goodness.

-At least he's not feeling down anymore. -[Tansik chuckles]

Yeah, I'm glad you're feeling better.

-[shouts] Thank you, sir! -Sit down.

[Tansik chuckles]

Good morning, sir.

-[detectives] Good morning, sir. -[Tansik shouts] Good morning, sir!

[yawns]

Good morning, everyone.

Do we know what Mr. Yoon was up to earlier that day?

We're struggling to track his last location via CCTV footage.

[Minseo] By the way, did you not sleep well last night?

I'm fine.

[Yubin] Did you try tracking his phone?

His phone is so old that the GPS doesn't work.

His phone was turned off before the incident,

so we can't really track it.

Check out this guy, Seo Mincheol.

He runs a hardware store.

He often clashed with the victim over parking,

and he has multiple assault charges on his record.

[Joongryeok] I have a feeling he's the culprit.

When did they clash?

About three months ago, I think.

[♪ pensive music playing]

[Yubin exhales deeply]

So three months after clashing over parking,

this guy suddenly murders the victim?

[Joongryeok] Sometimes, people bottle things up,

and then they just snap.

Does that never happen to you?

Losing your temper over something in the past?

No, that's never happened to me, ever.

Uh...

-Detective Moo. -[Joongryeok] Yes?

Detectives Jung and Jang.

I told you ages ago to renew your firearm permits,

and I just got a notification that you still haven't.

Do I really have to stay on top of every little thing?

[Junghwan] It slipped my mind.

I'll take care of it right away.

All right.

[door closes]

[whispering] He's acting weird today.

[Joongryeok] Is he dozing off?

[whispers] Whoa! He's up, he's up.

Tansik, sit down.

Safe Songwon, Trustworthy Police

Oh my. Hey!

Who are you talking to? Me?

Just a second.

[exclaims] You haven't changed a bit.

-You're as attractive as ever. -[♪ sensual music playing]

I knew I smelled testosterone in the air.

-How have you been? -Who are you?

[Tansik sniffing]

I only smell his sweat.

-Don't tell me... -Do you know her?

She once got caught cashing in forged gift vouchers.

What's she in for this time?

She smuggled knockoffs and sold them on social media.

Knockoffs? I didn't realize people still sold those.

Detective, they're hotter than ever.

Then again... [laughs]

...you're clearly not into fashion. [laughs]

-[Junghwan] Huh? What? -[Joongryeok laughing]

-Anyway, that's clever of you. -What do you mean?

You're sticking with him to make yourself look good.

-[Joongryeok and Tansik laughing] -[smuggler] You sly little fox.

You're being ridiculous.

-You sly fox. -I look 1,000 times better than him!

My wife picked out these clothes for me.

-Huh? Whoa! Is that a Patel Flip? -What?

I mean his watch.

[smuggler] It is, right?

I didn't expect to see one here.

Patel what? Is this expensive?

Totally. It costs more than 50.

[scoffs] 50 won? Hey, is this a toy?

[laughs] I mean 50 million won, not 50 won.

-[both] 50 million won? -[smuggler] Yeah!

It costs 50 million won.

-[laughs] -[laughs] Jeez.

-Wow... -I can't believe this guy.

So this was a knockoff?

-No, it's... -Have you no shame?

You're wearing a knockoff watch?

-Good grief. -A knockoff?

-[Joongryeok] Go in. -[smuggler] Bye!

Tansik.

How embarrassing. You should know better than that. Tsk.

[Tansik] But this...

It's important to be humbled sometimes.

You're a detective, for crying out loud. Tsk.

It was a gift.

[chicken squeaking effect]

-[sparkling effect] -[Junghwan grunts]

Hey, your watch is blinding me.

I won't wear it again, sir.

I just grabbed a random watch.

So that's not the only knockoff you have?

I'm just curious.

Why did you buy a knockoff?

It was a gift.

Who had the nerve to give you such an obvious knockoff as a gift?

I'm sure their whole life is fake!

My grandma gave it to me.

She has good taste.

You think so?

Yeah, that watch is really stylish for a knockoff.

-I'm sorry. -[chuckles] Don't worry.

-Detective Jung. -Yeah?

Beomjoon says Mr. Yoon wasn't a bad person.

Beomjoon is his son.

Even Lee Wanyong, who sold out our country,

was a loving dad to his son.

When it comes to people, there's always more than meets the eye.

[sighs]

Bestsellers!

[Minseo] Hi there.

Hello?

Ah. [sighs]

-[♪ comical music playing] -[Minseo] Hey, who are you?

You're so cute.

Are you cold?

Is this yours?

-This will keep you warm. -[chain rattling]

[in high-pitched voice] Nice and warm, right?

So warm.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

-[door opens] -Bang!

-[Minseo exclaims] -[dog barks]

-Who are you? -[dog barking]

Why did you put my scarf on the dog?

Who the hell are you? A dog seller?

-[in normal voice] No, I'm not. -[chicken squeaking effect]

Mr. Yoon was kind of short-fused,

but he was incredibly hard-working.

I feel so sorry for him.

Do you know where he usually did business?

Socks sellers don't stay in one place as produce vendors do.

They travel from place to place.

I see.

Look at you. My scarf looks better on you than on me.

You can keep it.

[dog whining]

I'm sorry.

Shit Well Daycare Center

Songwon Police Station has moved to a temporary location

[Minseo] None of the neighbors seem suspicious. Don't you think?

Captain.

We may have gotten the wrong idea.

Many people described Mr. Yoon as a bad person,

but from his point of view, the situation was different.

He had his reasons.

He had his reasons?

It all depends on perspective.

[papers rustling]

Look.

The lady from the supermarket referred to Mr. Yoon as "Mad Dog."

But it turns out...

she built an illegal structure in her backyard for storage

and clashed with Mr. Yoon over it.

The assault case is the same.

The victim had been scamming elderly neighbors.

[papers rustling]

"Mr. Yoon persistently harassed a civil servant."

In reality, he was simply asking them to fix a pothole.

It had been neglected since last summer.

What's your point?

Mr. Yoon wasn't harassing people.

-His sense of justice... -[Yubin] Detective Jang.

What we're looking for is cause and effect,

not good versus evil.

-Sorry? -Whether you personally think

Yoon Haesik was a good or bad person

has nothing to do with the case.

I suppose you're right, sir.

[Yubin] Has anyone found out more about what Mr. Yoon was up to that day?

I'm finding out where he usually did his business

and securing dashcam footage from the buses in those areas.

All right.

Let's keep searching.

[door opens, closes]

-[whispering] You did well. -[chuckles]

-You know how Captain can be. -[soft chuckle]

[mouse clicks]

[phone buzzing]

Beomjoon

[Beomjoon] My dad sent me this picture on the day of the incident.

Just in case it helps.

[Tansik] Detective Seo, take a look at this.

Beomjoon sent me a picture of Mr. Yoon taken on the day of the incident.

It's just a selfie. All you see is his face.

Did he say anything else?

He just sent me this picture.

[sighs]

[mouse clicks]

[♪ sentimental music playing]

[mouse clicks, scrolling]

[exhales deeply]

[crunching]

-[Tansik] Mr. Yoon! -Hey, Officer Jang!

[both laughing]

Did you eat?

-Yes. -[chuckles]

[sniffs] Seems like you had fermented soybean stew.

[sniffs]

[both laughing]

Anyway, what brings you here?

Did you get in trouble again?

No, that's not it.

I brought something for you. Here.

[Haesik] They're new designs.

Considering how well-built you are,

I thought they'd look great on you.

-Thank you. -[chuckles]

I hope you like them.

And you should eat well.

-[Tansik] I will. -[chuckles] I'll get going.

-Thank you. -[chuckles]

Mr. Yoon...

Thank you, sir!

[tired groan]

[♪ resolute music playing]

Captain, I think I found where Mr. Yoon did business that day.

I started by investigating the areas where he usually conducted business.

Pay attention to the trash bag behind him.

It's from Gangnam-gu.

Considering the color scheme of the sign,

this appears to be All Day Mart.

Once I brightened the image,

I noticed an apartment building marked "Building 304."

In this vicinity, there are a total of eight apartment complexes

with a Building 304.

Judging by the typeface, this appears to be Cheongdam LH Apartment Complex 3.

You can see the sun setting to the left of the building,

indicating it faces south.

The convenience store is on the left side of the building.

I identified three convenience stores in that area.

Street View confirmed that the picture was taken...

in front of the second branch of All Day Mart on Cheongdam Intersection.

How... did you do all that?

I analyzed a lot of CCTV footage in the traffic division.

Mm. Great job, Detective Jang. You did well.

Now that the location has been identified, let's start from there.

Secure the CCTV footage.

Yes, sir.

-Hey. -Well done. You nailed it.

[soft chuckle]

[♪ comical music playing]

[Yubin] No.

No.

[♪ tragic music playing]

No.

No.

[Tansik] Here's the CCTV footage.

[♪ light suspenseful music playing]

-[keyboard key clacks] -That really is Mr. Yoon.

There was a fight right before the incident?

[Minseo] That can't be a coincidence.

[Joongryeok] Of course not. That guy's the culprit.

There you go again. Don't jump to conclusions.

We can't really see the guy's face.

-Can you go back three seconds? -[Junghwan] Sorry?

Go back three seconds.

His face is completely hidden.

It's difficult to see.

Difficult to see? There's nothing to see.

Ask the National Forensic Service

-to enhance the video quality. -Yes, sir.

What can they possibly do with this useless footage?

What about the banner?

I put one up in front of the store where everyone can see it.

All right.

Witnesses Needed

Looking for witnesses who saw an altercation with a sock seller

10 p.m. on December 21, 2023

[eyewitness] I wasn't sure when I saw the news,

but then I realized it was the same date.

It was my friend's birthday that day.

-[eyewitness's friends] Happy birthday! -[♪ upbeat dance music playing]

[eyewitness's friend] Thanks, guys!

[crowd chattering, cheering]

[♪ uneasy music playing]

-[eyewitness] This guy kept hitting on me. -[harasser] Come with me.

I'm with my friends!

I was about to take a taxi, but he followed me out

and insisted on giving me a ride.

That's when a man selling things from a truck stepped in.

[eyewitness] In the end, they got into a fight.

Did you call the police?

I thought it was just a minor scuffle.

[sighs]

You might have to come back a few more times.

I'm prepared for that.

Detective.

Oh, do you remember something?

It's not related to the case.

It's about the tall detective from earlier.

A tall detective? That would be me.

No? Then do you mean Detective Jang?

What about him?

He seems to be the grandson of Ms. Hong Tanbong.

Hong Tanbong?

She's the founder of Tan Restaurant.

Are you talking about the Tan Restaurant?

Yes, the detective looks just like her grandson.

I think you're mistaken.

I don't think he has anything to do with Tan Restaurant.

By any chance, does his name have "Tan" in it?

Actually, it does.

Ms. Hong only passes down the character Tan to those she favors.

Rumor has it that whoever has it in their name is her successor.

There's no way.

He can't be the only one with Tan in his name, can he?

But it's not that common either.

-I'll get going. -[Junghwan] Bye.

Hong Tanbong?

Tan Restaurant... Tan Restaurant...

Tan...

Tan Restaurant?

Has Restaurant Mogul Hong Tanbong Chosen A Successor?

Tan Restaurant

Sold for 300 billion won

Who had the nerve to give you such an obvious knockoff as a gift?

My grandma gave it to me.

Ms. Hong only passes down the character Tan to those she favors.

Rumor has it that whoever has it in their name is her successor.

-[narrator 1] Grandmother. -[gasps]

Through continuous change and improvement,

they enriched our lives with food.

[♪ soft majestic music playing]

Expanding beyond Korea to the world.

In 2023,

they opened their 1,001st location in Marseille, France,

establishing themselves as a global franchise.

The Tan Food, a legend in the restaurant industry.

[narrator 3] Tan, Tan. [echoing]

[sparkling effect]

[Junghwan] Tan, Tan.

[clears throat]

[office phone ringing]

[Tansik] Hello, this is the Songwon Police...

Okay. Thank you.

The National Forensic Service sent us the enhanced footage.

With the enhanced video quality...

we see the back of his head so clearly.

Maybe we should visit the club.

[Junghwan] Tan, Tan.

Excellent. That's a great idea.

-What's with you? -[Joongryeok] What are you saying?

[Junghwan] Huh?

I just think it's a great idea.

Hold on, pause it.

[soft chuckle] I think I know who he is.

It's him... Nam Junghyun.

The hospital director's son from the One Shot Chicken case?

Exactly.

How do you know it's him when you can't even see his face?

Look at the number, not the face.

The plate number behind him.

With the enhanced video quality, you can see it clearly.

[Yubin] 4987.

It's Nam Junghyun's car.

[♪ bright music playing]

[Junghwan sighs] This must be it.

-Let's go in. -Okay.

[♪ bold upbeat music playing]

[both exclaim]

[♪ music stops]

[bouncer 1] Come on.

We just need to check something.

This is obstruction of justice. Got that?

As I said, you need to bring a warrant.

[Junghwan] This is urgent.

Just let us check the CCTV.

No need to be so uptight...

with us, do you?

I'm sorry, but we have to follow protocol.

Protocol?

-[♪ suspenseful music playing] -Get out of the way.

Now.

-[♪ music stops] -I'll count to three.

[both scoff]

-One. -[♪ bold upbeat music playing]

Two.

-[♪ music stops] -[Joongryeok scoffs]

Are you serious?

[game narrator in English] Fight!

[Joongryeok in Korean] Three for you, three for you.

[scoffs] What are you on about?

-Gosh, I'm getting hot! -[♪ intense music sting]

-Four for you. -[♪ bold upbeat music playing]

Just leave, okay?

Okay, fine!

[Joongryeok] Four for you, and five for you.

Let's do this, huh?

[hesitant mutter]

-[bouncer 2] What's the commotion? -[♪ music stops]

[♪ bold upbeat music playing]

Hmm?

Who are you?

[chiming]

[♪ music fades]

Are we really going to push our way in?

What are we, bulldozers? We'll need to get a warrant.

The warrant was rejected.

What? Why?

A risk of invasion of privacy,

insufficient relevance to the case, or something like that. [sighs]

Tell them we reject their rejection!

Hey! Where are you going without a warrant?

Where are you going?

[Joongryeok] How are we supposed to do our job?

But seriously, is this really necessary?

Why won't they let us check the CCTVs in the club?

I might be overstepping here, but...

[Junghwan] Tan, Tan.

No way. Overstepping? Don't be ridiculous.

We're all equals. Go ahead.

I still think it's best if we check the CCTVs in the club.

Who doesn't know that? But there's no way to do that.

-How about we go undercover? -That's easier said than done.

[Minseo] How exactly?

Minseo, hear our rookie out.

How are you planning to sneak in there?

I have a friend who might be able to help.

Let's get dressed up and meet in front of the club later.

I'll find a way to get us in.

-[indistinct chatter] -[♪ muffled upbeat music playing]

[Junghwan] Ayo, Tansik!

-[♪ striking electronic music playing] -[guests murmuring]

-[guest 1] What the heck? -[guest 2] What a dork.

[guest 3] Why is he dressed like that?

Tansik!

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Knock, knock.

-It's me. -[exclaims]

-I totally went all out. -[awkward chuckle]

-[chuckles] -[Minseo] I bet you'll get bounced.

[Tansik and Junghwan exclaim]

You look stunning.

[soft scoff] So do you.

Really? Thanks.

[sighs] Let's go in.

She's with me.

[bouncer 1] Welcome. Welcome.

-[Tansik] Thank you. -You can't enter.

-I'm with them. -Sure.

[bouncers] Please leave.

-I'll buy two bottles of liquor. -Sure.

-[bouncers grunting] -[Junghwan exclaims]

[♪ comical music playing]

-[guests laughing] -What if I take these off?

[bouncers] No.

-What about the beanie? -[bouncer 2] No.

[♪ lively electronic music playing]

[guests cheering]

Are you here alone? Wanna join us?

Unless you want to get your joints broken

and crawl on all fours, get lost.

Okay! I prefer walking.

-We love walking. -[chuckles]

[softly] Detective Seo!

[mouthing] You got it?

[♪ light suspenseful music playing]

[Tansik exhales nervously]

-[whispering] There it is. -Go ahead.

[bouncer 1] What did they lose now?

-Someone's coming. -[footsteps approaching]

What should we do?

-Take that out. Go hide. -Where?

[Minseo] I don't know. Just hide.

Do we need to respond to every request?

Why are there so many entitled jerks?

[bouncer 1] It's always been like that.

[♪ tense music sting]

[♪ suspenseful music intensifies]

[whispering] Why would you hide right there?

Where did they put their bag?

Whatever. Just tell them we couldn't find it.

[bouncer 1] How can you be so irresponsible?

Wait for me!

-[door closes] -Have they left?

-[relieved sigh] -Hey!

Why would you hide there?

That was close.

[hisses]

[♪ light suspenseful music playing]

Try it again. [sighs]

[bouncer 2] What is it now?

-Hurry up! -[♪ suspenseful music playing]

-Where do I hide? -Quick. Hide!

[Minseo] Whatever!

I'm exhausted.

We can't survive on our salaries alone. We need tips.

-Do we need just one? -All of them.

[groans] You've got to be kidding me.

[bouncer 2] Jeez.

[bouncer 1] Stop whining.

-You weren't like this before. -[gasps]

-[bouncer 1 grunts] -[bouncer 2] Hurry up.

[bouncer 1] I'm coming!

Wait for me!

-[door closes] -[♪ comical music playing]

[relieved sigh]

That was really close.

[sighs]

-Well done. -[soft chuckle]
