You doing all right?

Huh?

Not bad, I guess.

By the way,

what happened back then?

What?

You said your mom passed away.

Someone broke into our house.

Everyone in my family was killed except me.

If my brother were still alive…

he'd probably be about your age.

Ever thought about getting revenge?

You could've found him if you wanted.

Why didn't you just find him and go "bang"?

Shoot him dead?

Forget it.

So you're saying you're better than me now?

Is that it?

Him being brought to justice by the law was enough for you?

Because you're a cop?

People don't change that easily.

The bastards who ripped out my eye

would've ripped out someone else's,

even if it hadn't been mine.

If taking revenge ruins my life…

is it worth it?

It was all so sudden.

I still can't believe it.

Jake reached out to us.

Why?

It seems some people interested in Korea's situation want to reach out.

Tell him I'll decide after I meet them myself.

And he was quite worried.

About me?

Or the business?

REPORTER WANG DAE-HYEON

I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW

LEE DO IS AWAKE

Thank you for coming.

Years ago,

Do and I were on a mission in a conflict zone in the Middle East.

Everyone there was armed, kids and adults alike,

and weapons were piled high in the streets.

I wondered, "What if guns became this available in Korea?"

At the time, I thought something like that could never happen in Korea.

So? How's the gun retrieval going?

Once the investigation shifted after the shootings by Yu and Jeon,

they began using real couriers.

They seem to have a strong grasp of the Korean people and the system.

We estimate about 10,000 guns

have been distributed in the past few days.

It probably hit harder because the footage of you getting shot aired right before.

Seems like fearmongering really did the trick.

"If you don't want to end up like that, pick up a gun."

That's the greatest fear

a gun holds.

That's right.

"Now I have to protect myself with the gun in my hands."

That's probably what they thought.

Sir, I think you should see this.

A GATHERING OF SUPPORTERS OF GUN OWNERSHIP LEGALIZATION

This has just begun circulating on social media.

It already has 300,000 views from shares.

Yes, Director.

The president is preparing a statement. He may declare martial law.

If he does, Korea will become a country ruled by guns once again.

Attention, everybody.

Check who's available and deploy them right away.

We need to quickly identify who's organizing this rally.

If it becomes a large rally, anything could happen.

Understood.

Huh?

What is it?

Look at this.

What is this?

A pro-gun ownership rally?

A GATHERING OF SUPPORTERS OF GUN OWNERSHIP LEGALIZATION

A gathering at a time like this can only lead to disaster.

In light of unprecedented mass shootings and untraceable firearm distribution,

some argue that gun ownership should be allowed in Korea.

Pro-gun protesters have gathered to express their views to the government.

No guns!

Fears of a major clash have risen

as anti-gun protesters hold a counterrally.

Have any of you ever been shot?

I nearly died because of some crazy bastard.

We've been living perfectly fine without guns!

With so many guns out there, who knows what could happen next?

We need to think about our families and our future!

No guns. Never!

-Never! -Legalize guns!

Hi, Mom.

So-hyeon. Are you still at the hospital?

Yeah.

I'm on night shifts all week.

I see.

And you're doing okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

I heard a lot of people have been shot lately.

Your hospital must be chaotic as well.

Mom, I gotta get back to work. Talk to you later.

Sure. Take care.

Officer Jang.

I think I need to go to that rally.

I'll make sure

the captain gets the farewell he deserves.

Thank you.

You! Didn't I say I wouldn't take it if you talked back again?

I'm sorry.

You really think you're in a position to question your shifts?

Just take the shifts you're given.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Look.

One word to the head nurse from us

and your career's done and dusted.

Think twice before you act up.

If she acts up again, let me know.

She's so annoying.

Today's snack is dakbal!

Same place as last time?

Of course. You don't even have to ask.

Ma'am, you're the best.

Legalizing gun ownership…

NO GUNS!

…could make bulletproof vests as necessary

as masks were during the pandemic.

We want guns!

Legalize it!

Is that really the world we want to live in?

No guns!

Pro-gun legalization protesters have exceeded 10,000,

surpassing police estimates, with numbers still rising.

As police prepare for all contingencies,

they're also working to identify those behind the protest.

…fully mobilized police over a potential large-scale clash…

Police suspect Blue Brown organized protesters via social media.

They are searching for the group's base of operations

but have reportedly found no major leads.

NO CALLER ID

Did you enjoy your tour of hell?

Why me, of all people?

At first,

just curiosity?

I really had

high expectations

for that gosiwon guy.

It's not mandatory per se,

but rules are made for everyone to follow, so--

Hey, why the hell do you care?

I'm fine.

People are looking.

But then a police officer showed up out of nowhere

and stopped him.

So I did some digging into that officer…

CONFIDENTIAL TOP SECRET

…and it turns out he shot countless people dead in the past.

Now he says he'll never pick one up again.

Funny, isn't it?

Is that face of yours real?

Or is it all fake?

That's when something interesting struck me.

"If you picked up a gun again,

how would it change you?"

Why did it have to be me?

We have a few things in common.

A rough childhood,

an obsession with revenge,

and the choice to pick up a gun for it.

Don't justify your actions like there's some philosophy behind them.

You're nothing more than a third-rate peddler who profits…

by inciting fear.

What difference does it make to me now

if I sell one more gun?

I'm simply curious

what would happen

if guns became widely available in this country.

There were far more people

who wanted guns than I expected.

In the end, a gun was the only way

they could release their pent-up resentment and frustration.

I don't need anything right now.

Excuse me. It's been bothering me for a while.

That was also true for the captain, who had been like a father to you.

And the same for Kyeong-suk.

In the end, it was a gun…

Thank you.

…that saved them.

In a world where the strong devour the weak,

it's not your cheap sympathy that will protect them.

The answer is a gun that lets them enforce their own justice.

That's why I want to live in a utopia of equality

where everyone owns a gun.

That's all I want.

No.

There's no such utopia.

That is nothing but a hell…

where people kill and get killed.

What a shame.

I thought you, of all people…

would understand me.

Then,

shall we see

who's right?

What are you doing?

I'll show you the world I want to see.

Just sit back and watch.

-What's with that truck? -What's going on?

The guns are right in front of you. What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and take them.

They're guns!

They are guns!

Guns! Hurry!

Guns are being distributed from the truck in the square.

Civilians are swarming in.

You motherfucker!

Request SOU reinforcements.

Yes, sir.

Breaking news.

A sudden, large-scale distribution of firearms occurred

at today's pro-gun ownership rally.

As citizens scrambled and collided, the rally quickly descended into chaos.

Police have cordoned off the area

due to concerns about a possible shooting at the square

and have pledged to confiscate all guns distributed at the scene.

We will provide further updates as things develop.

Get it all on camera. Don't miss a single moment.

Yes, sir.

Move!

Give me that!

What else can we do when shootings happen almost every other day?

Put the gun down, or I'll shoot.

I just want to protect my family since the government won't.

Is that wrong?

-No. You can't. -Why not?

I was minding my own business and almost got shot!

Fuck it! I don't want to die, so I'm--

Let go! Get your hands off me!

FIREARMS DISTRIBUTED AT RALLY SCENE IN PANIC

FIREARMS DISTRIBUTED AT RALLY SCENE IN PANIC

UNEXPECTED FIREARM DISTRIBUTION SPARKS CHAOS AT RALLY

You see that, Lee Do?

If, as you say,

a world where everyone carries a gun is truly hell,

then why do so many people want one?

What could possibly

make them pick up a gun?

It was this world

that made the people angry.

All I did

was hand them a gun.

It's up to them

whether they pull the trigger.

Lee Do.

If a gunshot went off right here and now,

what would happen to these people?

Is this what you wanted?

No.

What I want…

is a single gunshot.

A single gunshot

that will make these people

start shooting at each other.

Wouldn't pulling a 5-millimeter trigger in pursuit of revenge

spread fear in the minds of many?

Out of fear that they might die without a gun,

everyone will rush to get one.

And a society like that

will soon be destroyed.

Don't shoot!

Don't come any closer!

Move!

Mom!

Help me, please!

Mommy.

It's okay.

You're safe.

HARU DAILY

GUN DISTRIBUTION SPARKS ESCALATING VIOLENCE AT RALLY

Tragically, there has been yet another incident.

The mass shooting at Gyeongin Stadium

has reportedly left over 70 casualties so far.

The death toll is expected to rise

as many remain in critical condition.

During the mass shooting at Gyeongin Stadium,

a citizen's brave act of saving an elementary school child

brought a heartwarming moment.

The citizen risked his life to protect the child in a dangerous situation.

Even amid ongoing gunfire, he kept the child safe until the very end.

Have a good day.

Hey, man.

Wow.

The view from here is amazing.

I'll be using this room. Yeah.

What?

Why would you censor my article?

Victim protection, my ass.

Touch my article without asking, and I'm switching to another network.

Holy shit. What the hell?

Do you have any idea what your article did to my innocent child's life?

I begged and pleaded with you to take it down.

Hold on a second.

I wrote the article, so--

With severe blood loss and widespread cancer,

chances of recovery are low.

Okay.
