STATEMENT RECORDING ROOM 2

(groans)

(sighs)

(sighs)

We got all the CCTV camera footage of Choi Seokdoo and Ma Taehwa walking.

-Take a look at it. -Forget it now.

Let's request an arrest warrant with all the footage we have.

You know we can't arrest someone for obstruction of justice.

What do you mean?

It's attempted murder of a police officer, not obstruction of justice.

PIL: Don't tell me you're buying his crap.

Goodness, those scums.

ANNA: I think they're ready and prepared, Mr. Baek.

PERSONAL INFORMATION NAME: KIM DOHYUNG

CODE CLEAR: CODE INDICATING THE END OF AN EMERGENCY

(monitor beeping)

(exhales sharply)

(soft music)

(breathing deeply)

Aren't you going home?

(grunting)

(panting)

You wanted me to leave work alive. Are you happy now?

(chuckles)

(Hogae sighs)

What time is it?

Well, it's...

It's almost three.

(sighs)

-Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa. -(groaning)

-Be careful! -What's wrong with me?

SOOJIN: You shouldn't be moving yet.

I have no time for this.

It's dangerous. You shouldn't move.

(groans)

I must go now.

I cannot let you. This surgery is different from the last one.

(sighs)

Doctor, how about this, then?

Inject antibiotics directly into his veins.

JAEHEE: This is a senta vyl patch.

Apply it on him when he's in severe pain.

As you already know, it's addictive. Be careful how much you use on him.

Okay. I'm off duty until tomorrow, so I'll attend to him by his side.

I'm giving permission, because it's you.

PATIENT: JIN HOGAE GUARDIAN (RELATIONSHIP TO PATIENT)

Let's hurry and go. We don't have time.

You're still at work.

-Lieutenant Jin! -Are you okay?

HOGAE: I'm not okay.

(Pil whimpering)

Aren't we running out of time?

We are.

We got all the CCTV footage that captured Ma Taehwa and Choi Seokdoo.

It's hard to tell much with just this, but let's watch it first.

ANNA: He comes out here.

And here's Choi Seokdoo.

Aren't you leaving?

I'm here as Detective Jin's medical guardian.

He's medically very unstable right now.

He's characteristically unstable, too.

HOGAE: The footage is too unclear with blurry faces.

We couldn't get much out of it.

(thrilling music)

Do you mind if I check something?

Seol, this is a police meeting.

Aren't you trying to find out who's who?

Do you have an idea?

-HOGAE: Take them off. -What?

Take them off him.

-Don't. What... -What's on your mind?

-This is for the investigation. -What is this? Get off!

See? I was right.

Not bad, Minnow.

I have a name, you know.

You guys always call me Jindo Dog or a mutt.

(line ringing)

Ms. Yun, can you do something for me?

This is our last chance to catch the real culprit of Seok Mijung's murder.

You aren't going to kill anyone, are you?

I don't take autopsy reservations.

(cell phone chiming)

Look. It's been 48 hours.

You haven't gotten the warrant yet, right?

Release my client, please.

(exhales deeply)

STATEMENT RECORDING ROOM 2

(sighs)

Is the plane ready? I'm never riding a helicopter again.

(suspenseful music)

HOGAE: Ma Taehwa!

It's the detective.

(snickers)

Hello, Detective Jin Hogae!

TAEHWA: I thought you were half dead,

but you're actually looking good.

Don't you have a problem walking?

CHIYOUNG: You seem very unwell.

Are you out to see him off?

I guess you haven't heard yet. Give me the cuffs.

HOGAE (in English): Nice catch!

(in Korean) Aren't they pretty heavy?

It's because they're commercial.

(tense music)

EMERGENCY ARREST WARRANT NAME: MA TAEHWA

-All right. -What do you think you're doing?

I got your arrest warrant, Ma Taehwa.

You may hire an attorney better than him.

You have the right to remain silent and can make excuses.

You can request an arrest legality review if you want. But it won't change anything.

ARREST LEGALITY REVIEW: ASKING THE COURT FOR A RELEASE FOR AN UNFAIR ARREST

Hey.

(Hong sighs)

HONG: It might be cramped a little.

He's quite tall.

Just a moment. Excuse me, but who...

I'm Yun Hong, and I conduct autopsies at the National Forensic Service.

Shall we go? It's all ready.

Hey. Ready for what?

What did you say?

It's been a while conducting one on someone alive.

HONG: Shall we?

You look cool.

This should be good enough.

The sensors are attached, and the cameras are set.

We're ready to go.

Look to the front and slowly walk forward.

Wait.

Mr. Ma.

You may refuse. You don't have to do this.

Forget it.

Nothing good came out of listening to you.

Sir.

I'll just do as they say.

TAEHWA: I have nothing to hide.

Listen to me.

-He's not going to do this. -Hey!

Why don't you do it instead, then?

-You can't even walk on your own, can you? -What?

All your life, others have done everything for you.

Is there even a single thing you've done yourself, loser?

I'll do it, all right?

That's not your business.

(in English) Get out.

(in Korean) Okay, then. Will you start walking now?

HONG: That's a heel contact.

HEEL CONTACT: WHEN ONE'S HEEL TOUCHES THE GROUND AS THEY BEGIN WALKING

Foot flat.

FOOT FLAT: WHEN ONE'S ENTIRE FOOT TOUCHES THE GROUND, THE FIRST STAGE OF A STEP

HONG: Toe off.

TOE OFF: WHEN THE TIP OF ONE'S FOOT LEAVES THE GROUND

HONG: A swing stance begins.

SWING STANCE: HOW ONE SWINGS THEIR ARMS

I'll measure the distance and the angle to the next heel strike.

Let's do the 3D rendering along with it.

We lack time to compare it right away.

Mr. Ma Taehwa, please walk faster.

Faster.

-Make a turn once. -Turn.

HONG: Make it natural.

Let's do a jump.

Jump high.

HOGAE: There you go.

(panting)

What else do you want me to do?

-We've brought them! -Good.

People's steps change when they carry something.

All right, then. Let's start with the backpack.

There.

Lift your left arm, too.

(upbeat music)

Make it natural, good.

(thuds)

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY DUE TO THE RISK OF INFECTION

SECRETARY: You shouldn't do this. You cannot enter without permission!

HAPPINESS AND FUTURE PARTY

Chief Prosecutor, please help me.

What?

Has your string turned out to be a rotten one?

Are you the one who instigated my son?

JOONGDO: Prosecutor Yeom Sanggu.

Assemblyman Ma Joongdo...

Forensic gait analysis is a way to specify a suspect

by studying how one walks.

It's often called lower body composite.

It comes from the fact that everyone walks differently.

Gait analysis or dog training. I don't care.

Okay. Mr. Choi Seokdoo is ready.

Okay.

Goodness. He needs to do this, too?

Of course, that's how comparison works. You're not that special, you know.

(sighs)

HONG: Please start walking.

According to the data, how Mr. Choi walks has a certain characteristic.

When he walks, the end of his right foot is tilted inwardly.

The sole of his right shoe must be more worn out than the left one.

This is because his right shinbone is twisted inwardly.

It's a typical example of in-toeing gait.

And he has a waddling gait as his upper body swings left and right.

It's because his sense of balance is damaged.

So would it be either an aftereffect of cerebral palsy

or drug addiction?

The color of his skin has the answer. He's a drug addict.

HONG: And Mr. Ma Taehwa is a typical example of bowlegs.

His toes are turned out.

In short, it's an out-toeing gait.

OUT-TOEING GAIT: WHEN THE TOE TURNS OUT AS SOMEONE WALKS

Hey.

What did you say about my walk?

It means that you two may look alike, but you walk totally differently.

Let's see who's the drug trafficker now.

HONG: We will compare the average data of their gaits

to the drug trafficker's gait captured in the CCTV camera on October 31.

I guess we've both failed in child-rearing.

No matter how unsatisfying your son is,

you wouldn't want him to be in handcuffs.

(sighs) I should've listened to you

and sent him abroad a long time ago.

Will you let this mark the end of your career as a politician?

No citizen would vote for a politician

who can't even keep their child under control.

(cell phone buzzing)

MR. BAEK CHAM

Hello?

(tense music)

So that's how it turned out.

I see.

A photo

may seem different depending on how it's framed.

Whatever the police do, the case will be transferred

to the prosecution only after ten days.

I mean, we can frame it the way we want.

(cell phone buzzing)

ATTORNEY YANG

(sighs)

But you need to make a decision to wrap this up.

Not as a father, but as a politician

preparing for the presidential election.

Chief Prosecutor Jin.

If it were you, would you be able to make such a decision?

I have already done it.

(suspenseful music)

(rattles)

DOCTOR: The result is out.

The man in the footage who bought the drugs

at dawn on October 31...

He doesn't have an out-toeing gait,

but an in-toeing gait. It's you, Choi Seokdoo.

(chuckles)

These mere gaits can't be evidence.

Damn it! Stop this crap!

It's not crap.

There's an actual case that reached a conviction through this method.

-Myeongpil. -PIL: Yes.

We finally broke his alibi of Seok Mijung's case.

(upbeat music)

Wait.

(groaning)

This will reduce the pain.

(Hogae panting)

How long has it been?

A detective shouldn't show a weak side to a criminal.

I should've noticed it sooner. I'm sorry.

It's fine. Don't mind it.

(sighs)

The sense of comfort from touching can relieve the pain.

(soft music)

How did you know that Choi Seokdoo had a unique walk?

It seemed similar to my mom's.

You notice it when you see it often.

(sighs)

I'll give you some antibiotics.

Ow.

It hurts.

(chuckling)

It's fine.

(sighs) This is embarrassing.

Thank you.

Mm.

You played innocence with the alibi you had.

Well, you can't do that anymore.

Did the old man pick up?

No, not yet.

Forget it. I'll call him myself.

He hasn't been arrested officially yet.

So he can make a phone call, right?

Go ahead.

Put in on speaker mode, so you won't pull anything.

CHIYOUNG: Let's go along.

OLD MAN

FEMALE VOICE: The number you have dialed does not exist.

Please check and try again.

Is it because he's a politician? He cut you off so fast.

(tense music)

I have decided to resign from being an assemblyman

mainly because...

It was because of my misguided child education.

No, let's not put it that way.

Let's go with "wrong child education."

Yes, sir.

I focused on politics so much

that I entrusted educating my child

entirely to my wife.

I feel greatly responsible for it...

I feel greatly responsible for it to the bone.

Yes, sir.

As a way to apologize to the victim and her family,

I will donate all the profits of Masong Foundation...

to society.

(cell phone buzzes)

(tense music)

I'll get going, then.

Hey.

What do you think you're doing?

Technically, I'm not even hired.

I have no reason to be here.

He's cutting you off, too.

You would make good stock traders.

You know exactly when to join and leave.

Hey, Attorney Yang.

Attorney Yang, are you really going to walk away?

Oh, right.

Here.

It's a gift from Assemblyman Ma Joongdo.

Is it not a bribe?

You'll know what it is.

(grunting)

All right, Taehwa.

It's time for some genuine interaction, okay?

TAEHWA: Why can't you believe me?

I swear I didn't kill her!

The first of the five reactions to death.

Denial.

PIL: They deny it no matter what.

No, you did it.

I know, the world knows,

and the late Seok Mijung knows best.

(breathes deeply)

-(Taehwa whimpers) -(thumping)

(Taehwa sucks teeth)

The next stage is anger.

TAEHWA: You know what?

That damn cow brought it upon herself!

They don't understand why it's happening to them.

They get mad and take all the anger out.

PIL: It makes them aggressive.

Right, just confess everything while you're at it.

Then what?

If I beg for forgiveness now,

will it be reflected?

SEOL: Is it the third stage now?

It seems he's beginning to bargain.

It won't work on Jindo Dog.

The encryption is quite complicated. Makes me curious.

Why are you doing that here?

I don't want to miss out on an exciting sight.

(chuckles)

Some get forgiven for reflecting on themselves, right?

No?

You should say that to the judge.

(sighs)

(sighs)

(Taehwa breathing shakily)

Oh, dear. I guess he's starting to feel sad.

The fourth stage, depression.

PIL: They feel greatly depressed

as if they've hit rock bottom.

A criminal's confession is exactly like the reactions to death.

PIL: At a time like this, it may be a little gross,

but you need to comfort them

and gently soothe their feelings,

so that they can finally enter the next stage, acceptance.

You tried all you could do to keep that huge secret alone.

It must've been so hard,

feeling so troubled without being able to tell anyone.

You must've had nightmares, too.

That day...

That damn woman...

(Taehwa sobs)

She...

Yes, I understand.

You must've done it for a reason.

There's a reason behind everything.

(breathes sharply)

Well...

The thing is--

You don't have to continue. I'll ask instead.

(sighs)

HOGAE: Goodness. You used something unusual.

You must've had your reasons to stab her with something like this.

(sighs)

(ominous music)

(in French) Thanks.

(sighs)

(in Korean) I certainly have an eye for people.

All right.

Oh, right.

Give me a moment.

(ice clinking)

(sighs)

(tense music)

What's wrong?

Is this why you got me a place?

How much did you record?

Is it wrong to record beautiful moments?

(chuckling)

(sighs)

What are you doing?

Why? Can't I record things?

(chuckles)

Don't cross the line.

Taehwa.

I'm going to expose all this.

You damn pervert!

TAEHWA: Why did she have to change the channels so randomly?

That damn woman...

What a headache.

She brought it all upon herself.

Hey.

Hogae.

If she'd left just like that, my life would've been over.

You're done for, bastard.

(ominous music)

TAEHWA: Come here.

(utensils clink)

(Mijung grunting)

Mijung.

Seok Mijung.

(in French) I love you.

(whimpers)

(grunts)

(panting)

(breathes deeply)

(trilling)

(cell phone buzzing)

(in Korean) The external hard drive is decrypted.

It's an illegally filmed video of the crime scene.

Is it recorded clearly?

Yes, the video and his statement correspond perfectly.

Okay.

(sighs)

Are we good now?

TAEHWA: Uncuff me.

It hurts so much.

Do you know who handcuffed you?

(chuckles)

You did.

The late Seok Mijung did it.

What is this crap?

You said you understood.

Hey, the police can say anything to get a confession.

And I'd change breeds if I understood a bastard like you.

From a Jindo dog to a mutt.

Come in!

Hey, Jin Hogae.

Hey--

Let go of me!

Wait. Please let me slide this once. I'm sorry.

Mijung! I'm sorry, Mijung!

TAEHWA: I'm going to kill you all!

You vermin! Seriously...

(groaning)

-Detective Jin. -Are you okay, Detective Jin?

Call an ambulance.

-Are you okay? -Goodness.

-Here. Hurry. -Yes.

Get it off him. Relax your hand!

Wait, just hang on.

NATIONAL FIRE AGENCY

Once you pass the evaluation,

they will contact your fire station.

I see.

I've made a copy of the ECG report. Do you want me to throw it out?

Yes, please.

No, wait.

Have a good day.

WOMAN 1: The payment is complete, sir.

This is what's left after the surgery. Will you take it?

Okay.

BLOOD DONATION CERTIFICATE NAME: SONG SEOL

(soft music)

The guy who tried to kill Choi Seokdoo did it to avenge his brother.

Let's see who has this badass as a younger brother.

Here's the info on Gwak Doojun and Kim Dohyung.

HOGAE: Kim Dohyung has a younger brother. His name is Kim Chahyung.

PIL: Kim Chahyung.

FAMILY RELATION: BROTHER NAME: KIM CHAHYUNG

Assault, special assault, robbery.

He has seven criminal records.

He's like a gift set of crimes.

Blood is thicker than water, after all.

HOGAE: Focus and watch carefully. Kim Chahyung's going to show up.

(tense music)

There he is!

It's him, right?

PIL: Hold on.

-Isn't this place... -You've seen this motorcycle, right?

(suspenseful music)

That lunatic.

Okay.

(keyboard clacking)

"Yongin 1839." I've got it.

Track him with the WASS.

(suspenseful music)

He went west on Route 36.

Okay. Let's take a shortcut through Woosung-ro.

(siren blaring)

He's entering Woosung-ro 321-gil.

-Hold on tight. -Why?

(tires screeching)

Oh...

He's coming.

(crashes)

(in English) Strike.

(in Korean) Take off your helmet.

Darn, what was that?

-What the... -Who are you?

(sighs)

ANNA: I got in touch with the owner. He's Han Manseok, aged 57.

He took out a private loan

and had the motorcycle taken away due to the unpaid interest.

Did he borrow money from Daemoo Group?

That's right.

They're all connected.

You.

Are you Daemoo Group's money collector?

They said it was just a high-paying part-time job.

Our only clue turned out to be a dud.

Daemoo Group, these bastards.

They should've just stuck to money-lending.

How dare they murder for hire?

(upbeat music)

Hey.

Is there anyone you want to kill?

You're scaring me.

-Turn it up! -Let's get it.

Let's go!

(upbeat music)

(crowd cheering)

It's time to dance!

Cham!

Let's get ready!

(disco music playing)

(Pil sobbing)

PIL: Is this the place I can request contract killing?

MAN 1: Head upstairs.

(Pil sobbing)

PIL: After my mom died,

that gigolo showed up at her funeral.

He claimed himself to be her legal husband...

and demanded half of the inheritance.

(disco music playing)

(crowd cheering)

LOAN SHARK: Oh, dear.

That'll be such a waste.

(playful music)

You see.

I can never let that bastard snatch away my mom's money.

I wired the front money just now.

Check and see how much I want it.

(fingers snap)

BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS

(loan shark sighs)

Just know that once we make a move,

there will be no turning back.

I...

just can't stand living in a world

where that damn bastard is alive!

(sobbing)

(camera shutter clicks)

ROMANCE CABARET

Hello!

Where have you been?

There are so many beauties here today.

WOMAN 2: Of course.

-MAN 2: Let's go inside. -MAN 3: Okay, let's go in!

(cell phone buzzes)

LOAN SHARK: We got the coins.

(suspenseful music)

CAR WASH ENTRANCE

(suspenseful music)

(grunting)

Peek-a-boo.

(both grunting)

(yells)

(upbeat music)

(whimpering)

(both grunting)

-(tires screeching) -(car crashes)

(panting)

Eat this!

Hey, you darn...

Don't. It hurts.

Did you enjoy the car wash?

It hurts.

What happened to you?

Guys, drag him out.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

It hurts.

-Hey, are you okay? -Come out.

-Goodness. -Don't move.

-Hey, come out. -Come out.

-Now. -Darn it!

-Hold up. -Uncuff him.

-(sighs) -(door opens)

(door closes)

What happened?

HOGAE: I don't answer to you, you bastard.

Investigation requires science,

but arrest requires an array of art forms.

(playful music)

(sobbing)

HOGAE: We came up with a scenario.

The front money has been wired with Bitcoin.

WE GOT THE COINS

WOMAN 2: Of course.

-MAN 2: Let's go inside. -MAN 3: Okay, let's go in!

Polar Bear's going in.

The title is The Perfect Funeral Day

for the Gold Digger Who Approached Mom for Her Money.

(crowd cheering)

MR. BAEK: I don't see him.

We don't see Kim Chahyung. He's not there yet.

Goodness.

He's not showing up yet.

What's going on?

ROMANCE CABARET BAEK TRAVOLTA IS COMING!

This is Squirrel. No one has approached Polar Bear.

Moving to the next spot.

Oh, my!

MEN'S BATHROOM

Jeez.

(upbeat music)

HOGAE: We prepared an exclusive shady set,

but the main character didn't show up.

Just like how obsessed your brother was with removing variables,

you were very meticulous.

PIL: We have the fishing spot, the car wash, and the rooftop left.

Be patient. He'll make a move today for sure.

We lost sight of Kim Chahyung. I'll take it from here.

I'll go. Stay here.

You can't do it with that injury.

And I have hard feelings against them.

(upbeat music)

The last scene of the movie will be the brothers' reunion in jail.

Darn it.

Come here.

What's with you people? I already paid the additional penalty!

Additional penalty, my foot.

Contract killing is worth a sentence, not a fine.

-You should've hired someone skilled. -(groaning)

You know Kim Dohyung and Kim Chahyung, right?

What? Who?

I've never heard of those names.

Goodness, I guess you didn't know that Dohyung and Chahyung

had a touching brotherly reunion.

(Mr. Baek snickers)

(thrilling music)

HOGAE: Kim Dohyung.

I know you didn't confess for your brother.

Let's hear everything now.

HOGAE: Blood is thicker than water.

You abetted the murder attempts against Bong Anna

of Taewon Police Station,

who was to testify in court.

And against Choi Seokdoo, the drug offender.

You'll be charged with that and other crimes.

Move.

REPORTER 1: It has been revealed that Daemoo Group,

the illegal loan company, was a broker of contract killing

and abetted murdering countless victims

including a current police officer.

Seoul Taewon Police Station made a contribution

by arresting the group as a whole.

Regarding illegal money-lending, they...

(Joongdo snickers)

You said you'd strip your son off of his police uniform,

but he might get him a medal instead.

Oedipus became a king only after he murdered his father.

Let's wait and see how high he will reach.

How frightening.

The case is so twisted that the investigation just doesn't end.

Jin Hogae!

Knock before you enter!

Here's a gift for your discharge.

What is this?

You'll know when you see it.

USB DRIVE

YOUNGSOO: Taewon Police gave us a tip,

and yesterday, we got the rat who stole the lighter oil and your police shoes.

(ominous music)

ANNA: The footprints next to the window are from the police shoes.

PIL: Yes, why is it here when it's supposed to be in the evidence storage?

Besides, we found only your fingerprints.

YOUNGSOO: There's direct evidence, and you have no alibi.

The bloodstains were from Detective Jin.

What are you talking about?

YOUNGSOO: You're under arrest on suspicion of murdering Bang Pilgu

Stop right there!

-YOUNGSOO: You know Sunwon, right? -Give me the cuffs.

YOUNGSOO: He brought a few items to Ma Taehwa in exchange for money

without knowing how serious things could get.

My cuffs got so itchy

while waiting for you to get discharged.

Detectives must realize justice at all costs.

I love realizing justice, but there's still a long way to go.

SEOUL EAST DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Detective Jin, you shouldn't get worked up, okay?

Are you listening to me?

-PIL: Just a moment. -SECRETARY: No.

-PIL: He's just here to meet his father. -SECRETARY: I said no.

Sir.

You should've called beforehand.

Cops don't call ahead when they catch criminals.

-Detective Jin, wait-- -Stay out of it.

All right, then. Tell me what you're here for.

Choi Seokdoo's drug trafficking case.

It was impossible to leak unless they had access to the crime data.

HOGAE: Ma Taehwa claimed

that you tipped him off, Mr. Jin Chuljoong.

How do you think I knew

that Choi Seokdoo bought drugs that day?

Who do you think tipped me off?

Are you...

really going to get in your father's way?

You still so easily believe what people say.

You have a long way to go.

REPORTER 2: Do you admit that you illegally accessed

the crime database for Ma Taehwa of Masong Group?

And that you bought off a police officer to fabricate the case?

Yes. I apologize.

REPORTER 3: Was it in return for favors?

REPORTER 4: Did you not fabricate the case?

REPORTER 5: Please say a little more!

(tense music)

Don't be disappointed that I let the RIU arrest him.

(sighs)

You're still so good at losing a tail.

Go to the RIU and turn yourself in tomorrow.

RECORD OF STATEMENT NAME: YEOM SANGGU

CHULJOONG: You should've checked if your string was golden or rotten

before you pull it.

Q: HAVE YOU ACCESSED THE CRIME DATABASE FOR MA TAEHWA? A: YES, I HAVE

You may not be a prosecutor again, but I'll help you be a lawyer.

Chief Prosecutor!

Don't think about tomorrow.

Think ahead to a year later.

(tense music)

When you are merely thinking about tomorrow,

I think ahead to a year later.

Let me ask you one thing.

Ma Taehwa couldn't have done it alone.

It included fire investigation, forensic medicine, and forensic science.

This is a professional.

Their resources are...

beyond your imagination.

Do you get it now?

Let's eat together sometime.

I'd never eat with a criminal. Let's go.

He probably didn't mean--

-HOGAE: Come out. -Okay.

(tense music)

(groans)

(chuckles)

I wasn't sleeping.

Stop occupying this public area.

I had something to return to you. Here.

TAEWON GENERAL HOSPITAL

It seemed you collected them for quite a long time.

You shouldn't have wasted them.

-Kyungjun. -Yes?

Take these.

KYUNGJUN: All these?

Use them if he needs a blood transfusion.

KYUNGJUN: Okay.

And...

I heard they used six of them.

Here are seven including interest.

BLOOD DONATION CERTIFICATE NAME: JIN HOGAE

No, thanks. It's not like I lent you money.

Hey. Just take them.

(chuckles)

Does this mean we've shared each other's blood now?

SPECIALLY RELATED PERSON

(scoffs)

I guess we really are specially related.

SEOL: Going somewhere?

I don't need to live here anymore.

(Hogae groans) This is your gift.

Is it against the Fire Services Act to put it here?

Why would you leave that here?

We're specially related.

(dramatic music)

So what?

I thought we were specially related.

Wake up if you want your life's worth!

I'm glad

your heart didn't stop beating.

TAEWON FIRE HOUSE

(phone ringing)

This is Bong Dojin of Taewon Fire House.

Officer Song Seol? She's away at the moment.

What is this about?

Really?

Yes, thank you.

I'm back.

Hey, Seol!

Yes?

Good work.

Go in and rest up.

DOJIN: Go take a nap. Hurry.

Good work!

What was that?

-Did you find a venue? -Yes, sir!

-Are the props ready? -Yes, sir.

Oh, what about the medical team's schedule?

We've arranged it all.

DONGWOO: But, Dojin.

Do we have to do this, though?

-Shut your mouth, will you? -Ow!

Anyway, good work.

Don't let anyone else find out, okay?

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Hogae, let's go have an arrest drink.

We made use of our cuffs.

So it's time for a celebration with alcohol.

Besides, we arrested more than two at once.

So we deserve soju bombs.

No, the big fish slipped through.

I'm good. Drink without me.

Jeez, when you have a hangover, you drink to resolve it.

When you lose someone, you drink to lift the jinx.

It's written somewhere. You should read some books.

Call Anna. Let's drink with grilled pork belly.

-Let's go. -I don't want to go!

-My shoes! I need to change my shoes! -Come on.

-(oil sizzling) -(bottle cap pops)

(all whoop)

DONGWOO: The pork belly looks so appetizing.

Why the sudden get-together? Where's Dojin?

Seol, try some first.

-What's with you? -Make a wrap.

Gosh, it's cold. What's wrong with you all?

-Why don't we clink? -Let's clink.

-Cheers. -Let's clink.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Four more servings of pork belly, please.

MR. BAEK: Two beers and one soju, too.

The fire crew is here, too. What's with that cake?

CONGRATS! FIRST HEARTSAVER

HOGAE: "Heartsaver"?

HEARTSAVER: A CERTIFICATE GRANTED TO A PERSON WHO SAVED A LIFE THROUGH CPR

Jeez.

What?

Well, the headquarters called earlier this afternoon.

You passed the evaluation!

(all cheering)

DOJIN: One, two, three.

(applause)

Congrats.

Officer Song, this is your first heartsaver badge.

Congrats.

Congratulations.

PIL: Congrats, Seol!

-You really wanted that badge. -I did.

We also wanted to celebrate our recent arrest, so we came to drink...

I mean, get-together.

This is a happy day for both Taewon stations.

-Applaud. -Applaud.

(applause)

Let's sit.

-Well done for us. -Cheer.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Congrats.

So who is that lucky patient you saved?

It's someone with a fatty heart.

Don't you know who it is? He's right here.

-You... -Jindo Dog right here...

I mean, Detective Jindo Dog had a cardiac arrest in the ambulance.

Officer Song madly did CPR on him to save his life.

Was it me?

Um... Mm.

What is this?

That means Seol is Detective Jin's savior!

You should've told us sooner!

It can't be sure without the ECG report.

Will you just sit down?

How are you going to repay her? You better be really good to her.

PIL: She saved his life!

Have a drink. Soju is good for the heart.

I hear this place is where you have an arrest drink.

-Ms. Yun! -Hello.

Our biggest contributor to arresting Ma Taehwa.

No, that table's for the fire crew. Come here.

It's okay. I prefer this table.

Have you been safe and sound?

Yes, hello.

That's an odd way to say hello.

It happens when you talk to the dead every day.

-DOJIN: Are you okay with soju? -HONG: Yes.

They're going to have a fling for sure.

Hey, stop setting people up.

Goodness.

How nasty is your foot odor

that you're changing socks here?

(chuckles)

It's because I sweat easily.

How gross.

You need to wash a little.

SOON: This is the aftereffect of a third-degree burn.

I got it on my sole during a fire ten years ago.

We had lousy firefighting shoes back then.

I stepped on flames, which killed all the pores.

(chuckles) I had no idea.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. You didn't know.

You've been a firefighter for 30 years now.

I bet you have scars all over your body.

Then again, it's similar to me.

I still feel pain from the knife wounds

I got from criminal bastards.

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello, this is Dokgo Soon.

Yes.

He's my ex-husband.

(sighs)

Can you not reach him at all?

I see. Then I'll pay for it.

Yes, bye.

You don't want to ruin your stomach.

Why would you...

Here, drink this instead.

All right.

(soft music)

(sighs)

How's your new house?

Is it not haunted there?

Did my heart really stop beating?

It was a cardiac arrest. It stopped only for a few minutes.

If a person has an average life,

their heart beats around two billion times.

Of those two billion times,

roughly about 1,000 times would be my contribution.

My wrists still hurt.

So be good to me.

So don't be good to me.

I told you. I hate being indebted.

I wasn't good to you.

I was just doing my job.

If you don't want to be indebted, just don't get hurt.

I'll pay you back.

We're specially related.

HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: This is on the house.

Oh, you didn't have to.

The owner went home, so feel free to enjoy your time.

-Thank you so much. -Thank you.

-Here's some for you, too. -Ma'am.

-Hey. -You're here.

-Me, too. -Thick-fried eggs taste like beef.

-Thank you. -Of course.

Let me pour you a drink.

Let me...

How dare you...

How dare you come here?

You killed my Hyunseo! How dare you come back here?

Ma'am, you're mistaken.

He's a police officer.

(sighs)

(somber music)

I hate these. Take these with you!

You broke up my family,

so how can you be this shameless?

Don't ever let me see you again, or I'll make you pay for real!

-Calm down. -If I ever see you again,

-I won't let you live! -Ma'am.

-Ma'am. -HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: Get out!

PIL: Detective Jin. Ma'am.

-Goodness. -Get out immediately!

-HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: Why... -PIL: Calm down.

What's wrong, ma'am?

(Hyunseo's Grandma panting)

PIL: What should we do?

Hello, Detective.

Hi.

What's that?

HOGAE: Eggs?

Make thick-fried eggs with these

with pepper and salt. If you try them with your eyes closed,

they'll taste like beef. My grandma said so.

(tense music)

(chuckles)

(somber music)

DOJIN: What the... You seem so down.

You aren't new here, are you?

No wonder you know so much about directions here.

The alleyways and even when the traffic lights change.

You were recently assigned here.

It made no sense that you were so acquainted.

What is it? That granny seemed to be mistaken about you.

She's not mistaken.

What Hyunseo's grandmother said is true.

HOGAE: It's all my fault.

Is it about what happened seven years ago?

YOUNGSOO: I couldn't handcuff you seven years ago,

because of the lack of direct evidence.

But it's different this time.

SEOL: Is this Hyunseo's? Is it evidence?

Same name, different person.

Just what happened then?

(somber music)

CHULJOONG: Stop ruining your life, because you feel guilty about that girl.

Did the world change when you arrested Ma Taehwa?

Isn't it around the time you stopped rebelling like a little child?

(tense music)

What kind of company gives

a mere legal intern an incentive of a billion won?

Don't be reckless about it.

Ma Taehwa, the third generation of Masong.

He recently got arrested under suspicion of assault.

This intern got the incentive 24 hours after the suspension of his indictment.

Did Masong offer to be your sponsor or something?

Considering Assemblyman Ma's reputation, a billion is relatively cheap.

You know that only prosecutors have the power to prosecute.

So don't complain.

Are you admitting to laundering bribes under your son's name?

(tense music)

Are you recording this well?

As you say, being an intern at the legal team

of a big company like Masong will be of big help

to a mere law student.

Privilege isn't a coincidence.

Privilege is an elaborately designed fate.

What you had and enjoyed.

You think it was a coincidence?

(sighs)

You are not...

...a match for me, anyway.

Ma Joongdo...

has turned into a righteous politician,

who even sent his son to jail.

Are you planning to join the Blue House on his bandwagon?

I ended up giving you wings instead of stopping you.

I never meant to be a good son, but I became one.

I never wanted you to be a good son.

And I have no intention to be one.

CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE DIVISION: POLICE OFFICER

CHULJOONG: I got you a room to study for the bar exam.

Instead, you applied to be a cop.

I'm not going to be like you.

You know why I came this far.

How could you say that?

Because I'm the only one who can stop you.

You will regret...

making this decision.

Leave Taewon now.

You have no more business left

in this neighborhood.

HOGAE: No.

I can't leave just yet.

I still have something left to do.

(soft music)

THE FIRST RESPONDERS

(closing theme music)

WOMAN 4: Is that a person?

DOCTOR: Patient Song Haeun needs to see a psychiatrist.

It's highly likely she will do it again.

MR. BAEK: What? It's a newborn baby.

Apparently, this handbag is available only for high-spending VIPs.

Let's get some DNA.

HOGAE: Ms. Bang Jakyung. Is this your handbag?

Should I turn the tables?

WOMAN 5: She's a criminal

-who killed her own baby. -WOMAN 6: A criminal?

-You psycho! -Get off!

MR. BAEK: Darn, this complicates the case.

Send Seol away now.

Don't let her get involved in this case anymore.

HOGAE: What's going on?

It must have hurt a lot.

HAEUN: Will you send a message to my mom?

HOGAE: Are you happy now? You selfish bastard.
