The First Responders Season 2

The characters, places, organizations,
and events in this drama are fictitious

Child actors were filmed
in safe situations

Here's the microchip.

Okay.

[♪ thrilling music playing]

[Hongjun] The previously deleted
criminal DNA database

is fully intact.

- Are you sure about that?
- [Hongjun] Yes.

Based on the data size,

everything seems to be there
without any damage.

[Sungjae] Okay, that's a relief.

The fact that Jin Hogae stole
the database remains unchanged.

Investigate his activities
thoroughly on the day of the incident.

Look into what he did after leaving
the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Find out everything.

Don't forget.

Our information has to be
one step ahead of the police.

DYING MESSAGE: Message left
by a murder victim just before death

[groaning]

[breathing heavily]

[Seol] Just stay alive.

I'll run to you wherever you are.

[approaching footsteps]

It seems like Detective Jin...

was quite important to you, Officer Song.

I've never seen...

Detective Jin walk.

It's not like I have
some supernatural power

to read criminals' minds.

I just work damn hard.

I sleep less than others.

I work harder than others.

He always ran ahead of others,
worked harder,

and investigated desperately.

So when we rushed to the scene together,

I've never felt more reassured,

because I knew he would never give up.

That he would fight to the end.

But in the end, he left.

I believed in him until the end.

[Seol breathes deeply]

[Seol] I saw the explosion on the roof

and thought,
"It's okay, it's Detective Jin."

"He would've caught the culprit."

"He'll come down smiling

just like he always has acting all tough."

[breathes deeply]

I thought he'd come back.

You must really resent the culprit.

Detective Jin hated

and despised criminals.

I finally understand how he felt.

What would you like to do?

If I could,

I want to pay him back
in the exact same way.

[♪ ominous music playing]

First of all, the earpiece implanted
under Detective Jin's ear

seems to be a modified version
of a model available on the market.

The condenser I removed earlier

was likely used
for electric shock torture.

He was tortured?

It's also evidence
that he was being threatened.

[Sungjae sighs]

But there's something I don't understand.

If there was an unknown blackmailer,

why would they go through the trouble
of stealing it and then blow it up?

[Sungjae] Ma Taehwa's case is similar.

He killed Ma Joongdo and got Ma Taehwa
out of prison on stay of execution.

After purposely ruining his kidneys,
he gave Ma Taehwa a new kidney

and then killed him
by exploding a caravan.

[Sungjae] What is all this?

What on earth does this guy want?

[Kang Doha] Destruction?

He enjoys destruction.

Psychologically, he craves destruction

and enjoys chaos.

A lunatic.
That's the only way to describe him.

Furthermore, he manipulates

and contaminates all traces
with sophisticated criminal knowledge.

Investigators either reach
wrong conclusions

or become targets themselves,
losing their lives.

This seems to be his pattern.

There's one thing you've overlooked.

Whether the conversations exchanged
using that earpiece were threats

or collaboration is still not clear.

Currently,

the only concrete evidence we have
are dozens of SPO CCTV recordings

of Detective Jin stealing the database.

If he wasn't blackmailed,
why would Detective Jin do such a thing?

I'm just as curious as you are.

[sighs]

There seems to be
only one option left now.

I'll give you 24 hours.

Capture the person
who blackmailed and killed Detective Jin.

You should clear
your late colleague's name.

[door opens]

- [Pil sighs]
- [door closes]

We'll have to put our grief aside for now.

We'll also do our best
to dig up any remaining leads.

Let's go.

- Where?
- We have one clue left.

A living clue.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[♪ thrilling music playing]

[Mr. Baek] Im Sunyeol was caught
by Detective Moon,

because of the money transfer to his wife.

Family ties can't be severed easily.

[kid] Mom, I'm hungry!

[doorbell dings]

Oh, it's Daddy!

[doorbell dings]

[♪ tense music playing]

Condolences

[gasps]

You two should talk.

[Mr. Baek] We...

lost another colleague yesterday.

Im Sunyeol was the junior Detective Moon
cherished the most.

- If your husband contacts you--
- I told you.

We don't talk.

Shouldn't we try to save him?

[Mr. Baek] Your husband can't handle

the guy we're dealing with.

Moon Youngsoo and Jin Hogae.

Even at the RIU,

they were the best of the best.

They fell in a trap.

We need to rescue Sunyeol first
and catch the real culprit.

[Mr. Baek] We don't want to lose
any more colleagues.

Oh, my.

What's all this?

[Mr. Baek chuckles]

[Mr. Baek mumbles]

Do you miss your dad, Sunga?

I do.

[sighs]

[Mr. Baek sighs]

I'll go now.

Wait.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Mr. Baek] I got Im Sunyeol's address.

17-13, Pyeongdo-dong,
Taewon-gu, Geumsan Villa.

It's the rooftop unit on the fifth floor.

Move cautiously.

You guys cover the back.

We'll go in the front.

- Go.
- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

[panting]

What the...

- You go this way.
- Yes, sir.

[Pil] Im Sunyeol!

Darn it. He's already dead.

It looks like a gunshot wound.

- Check it, Min.
- Okay.

[gloves rustling]

[♪ foreboding music playing]

It looks like a penetrating wound.

[sighs]

[Mr. Baek] It's a police-issued gun.

Check if there are any bullets.

Okay.

[Kangmin exclaims]

Here it is.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Sungjae] Could the detectives
from Taewon Police Station step out?

What do you mean?

We just received the forensic report
from the NFS's firearms room.

We've examined
the serial number of the gun

recovered from Im Sunyeol's death scene,

and it matches the one issued
to Detective Jin, and so does the bullet.

No other fingerprints

were found on the gun itself
except for Detective Jin's.

- I mean--
- [Mr. Baek] Even if the gun and bullet

are Detective Jin's,

we can't be certain that he fired it.

Right. I thought the same thing

until I saw this CCTV footage.

[Sungjae] This footage was captured
at an Internet cafe located

near the building where Im Sunyeol died.

We're in the process of obtaining
other CCTV footage from the area.

What's Detective Jin doing there?

We've secured records of him
logging into his email.

[Sungjae]
Since it's a foreign email service,

we haven't uncovered the contents yet.

But with this, Im Sunyeol becomes
the fourth person to die

in the vicinity
of Detective Jin's whereabouts.

We'll presume his innocence,

but those associated with him
can't participate in the investigation.

[sighs]

I won't keep you any longer. Please leave.

Darn it.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

The late Jin Chuljoong / Jin Hogae

[♪ somber music playing]

[door opens]

Around the entrance wound on the forehead,

there are gunpowder
and deflagration residue.

This suggests the shot was fired
within 39 inches of the victim.

Moreover, the bullet
that penetrated didn't exit horizontally

but rather downwards
from the lower part of the occiput.

While we can't be certain,

in cases like this, we can speculate
that the victim was shot

in an execution-style manner
while kneeling.

[Yungjae] We can speculate
that Detective Jin's anger

over Moon Youngsoo's killing
played a role.

Judging by the digestion level of food,
blood clotting in the victim's stomach,

and the degree of rigor mortis,

the estimated time of death
is about 28 hours ago.

[Yungjae] Im Sunyeol was last seen

at the parking lot in Mapyeong Park.

[sniffles]

After that, Detective Jin, who had
evaded the Supreme Prosecutors' Office,

went to an Internet cafe and then
to the rooftop to commit murder.

- It's not impossible.
- What are you talking about?

I understand it's not easy

to lose colleagues
and face such a situation.

However, we can't ignore the evidence.

Since Detective Jin is already deceased,

the case will be closed
due to lack of indictment.

The safest Taewon,
respected and beloved Taewon Police

[Pil] After first being spotted
in the Mapyeong Park restroom,

he went to
Prosecutor Jang Sungjae's officetel

and then headed straight to the SPO

and entered the server room.

- After stealing a motorcycle...
- [rider yells]

...and evading the SPO,

he goes missing for about 30 minutes
until he reappears on CCTV

at Mapyeong Station Exit Three.

Thirty minutes.

[♪ tense music playing]

From the Supreme Prosecutors' Office
to Mapyeong Station.

What's this?

A button...

was there, but then it disappeared.

I can't see well due to tears.

- Here.
- I need to look more closely.

Thanks.
[Samsoon sniffles]

Wait, the light reflected.

Is this a lens?

This isn't a button.

It's a mini camera.

- Let's go find it.
- What?

- [Pil] Come on.
- [exclaims]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Pil] Slow down. Slow down.

Stop. Stop.

Reverse. Reverse.

Stop right here.

[Samsoon] It seems like these are marks
from Detective Jin's motorcycle tires.

[Pil] This is where he fell.

Something must've happened around here.

[♪ thrilling music playing]

[Kang Doha] All right.

We'll trace back
all the movements of this vehicle

and find the culprit's hideout.

Collect every speck of dirt and dust.

Ms. Woo, over here.

[Samsoon] You found something?

Look. This is from
Detective Jin's clothing.

- [clinks]
- It is.

The camera must be
somewhere around here then.

What's that?

- [Pil] I think that's it. Wait.
- [Samsoon] That's it.

Move over.

Lower.

- Lower.
- Wait.

Lower. Get lower. That's it. That's good.

- Okay.
- I got it.

Take it out. That's it.

Okay.

[♪ thrilling music playing]

We need to find something unusual,

not the usual soil components.

Only then can we identify anything.

Is it recoverable?

Give me a second.

I need to...

concentrate.

[examiner] I detected unusual compounds.

"Citric acid monohydrate,
peroxyacetic acid, citric acid...

and quicklime"?

The same compounds have also
been found on the car mats.

Why are these substances
mixed in the soil?

Can we identify what this is?

I'll run it through the National Institute
of Environmental Research's NCIS.

[Samsoon] There it is.

- There.
- [static]

[Samsoon] The hard drive is damaged,

and there's too much static.

[screeching]

[screeching continues]

It sounds like he's warning someone.

[groans]

This is the limit
of our forensic equipment.

[♪ thrilling music playing]

- [Pil] Get the drive.
- [Samsoon] Right.

Let's go.

[Kang Doha]
"Mass-produced chemical substance."

That means it's commonly used
in chemicals and solutions.

It's frequently used in...

[keyboard clacking]

Found it.

[Kang Doha] Rayon-Kill produced
by Jigu Biotech.

It's a swine disinfectant.

"Effective against
foot-and-mouth disease virus."

[Hong] They disinfected vehicles.

They spray disinfectant
on vehicles to prevent

foot-and-mouth disease from spreading.

And they pour quicklime too.

Let's check where they recently set up
disinfection centers.

- Detective Kong.
- Yes, Mr. Kang.

We need your immediate assistance.

We need yours too.

I sent you a list of locations

where foot-and-mouth disease prevention
was conducted in the last month.

Okay. I'll check it.

[Samsoon] Okay.

They wouldn't have gone far
from Taewon-gu.

Gimpo. Two,

three, four...

[Samsoon] A total
of 23 disinfection centers

have been set up in areas in Gyeonggi-do
that are near Taewon-gu.

That's too many to investigate.

From now on, the ground will tell us.

The ground we stand on

has distinct features,
from soil color to topsoil properties

and gravel content.

[examiner] The areas with the same
soil components as the hearse's tires.

Gravel content between 15% and 35%.

Topsoil comprised
of high-quality soil and sandy soil,

and the soil color is yellowish-brown.

The parent rock is composed
of metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

- Okay.
- [Samsoon] Let me check if they overlap

with any of the disinfection centers.

[Samsoon] Hwaseong in Gyeonggi-do. Here.

Among the places
with disinfection centers,

this place has the same soil as the one
found on the tires of the hearse.

Let's find out what's in that area.

Okay.

[keyboard clacking]

If you follow this route,

there's a building
that was abandoned during construction.

- An abandoned building?
- Then there probably won't be any CCTVs.

I'm recovering the button camera footage,
and something strange came up.

- [static]
- [Hogae] ...for euthanasia.

[Pil] Euthanasia?

I wondered what he was saying,
so I barely managed to restore one frame.

[Hong] Look at this.

That's me.

Right after that,
Detective Jin inserted a microchip

into the SPO's server computer.

So this is the moment of the threat.

It's still being recovered.

Clues about the blackmailer
might appear later in the footage.

[Pil] So...

this happened to Detective Jin
because he was trying to protect me?

[exhales sharply]

I'll catch this bastard no matter what.

Funeral hall

Wait. Right here.

[Pil] Can you zoom in?

It looks like Seol.

- Please check.
- Yes, ma'am.

Song Seol. Yes, that's Seol.

[Pil] She said she came to visit me
at the hospital that day.

That means she met the culprit.

Please locate Officer Song.

We have to find Seol.

If she did see the culprit,
she's in danger.

[breathing heavily]

Please pick up.

[♪ tense music playing]

She took the day off
and hasn't been in contact all day.

Let's go to
Detective Jin's funeral hall first.

Please contact the station
and start the search!

[Samsoon] Okay.

[♪ tense music playing]

Han Sejin

[♪ tense music playing]

Professor, is that blood on your shirt?

Oh, this?

It's nothing.

When you visited Detective Kong
at the hospital yesterday,

did you happen to see anyone else?

Apparently, the overdose of sedatives
wasn't the hospital's mistake.

[chuckles]

It was me.

The sedative overdose.

What are you talking about?

I told you.

We're all lonely people.

You and I have bold hands.

I just have the hands that kill,

and you have the hands

that save lives.
That's the only difference.

Do you now realize who I am?

[♪ tense music playing]

Did you also kill...

Detective Jin?

I didn't kill him myself,

but it was my plan,
and it was executed that way.

Jin Hogae.

[scoffs]

He was a good opponent
to play the game with.

It's just that this time
the ending was different.

In this world, there aren't only
happy endings where justice wins.

Don't...

try anything.

I handle scalpels well,
but I also handle bombs very well.

If you cause a problem,
I have to run away.

I personally don't like running away.

However, if I'm forced to run away,
I'd be very upset.

And that would make me violent.

[chuckles]

And if that happens,
someone will definitely get hurt.

Not you, someone else.

How about the members
of Taewon Fire Station?

[sighs]

- [Seol sobbing]
- [chuckles]

When Jindo Dog saw Detective Kong
was about to take his last breath,

he immediately backed down.

Should I run away?

Or...

do you want to quietly come with me?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[♪ music halts]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[visitor screams]

[panting]

I'd like to use your phone.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

Okay. I'll send you my location.
Join us right away.

Did you call for backup?

No, we're the backup.

- What?
- Listen carefully.

[Pil] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What the...

What are you doing?

[groans]
What is it? Tell me.

[♪ tense music playing]

[honking]

[♪ tense music playing]

Jin Hogae
Lieutenant of the detective team

[♪ music fades]

[Sejin] What do you think?

Jin Hogae's never been here.

How do you feel to be the first one
to come to the place

where I plan my crimes?

He died too easily.

How boring.

Are you going to kill me too?

I don't know.

You're very interesting.

Now that's your real face.

Everyone starts with that kind of look.

Test your hatred

and anger.

See if you can kill me

with your hands that save people.

Take it.

[♪ tense music playing]

You've seen it many times, right?

The moment a person dies.

The look in the eyes
when the soul leaves the body.

That intense emptiness.

No.

It's fullness.

Seeing the moment the soul disappears

is the closest thing
to the act of creation by God.

I'm giving you the opportunity
to become God.

You're qualified for it.

You've been yearning for it.

For perfection.

You can become God

once you get over that guilt.

- [breathes shakily]
- Here.

Stab me.

You know where the subclavian artery is.

Blood will gush out
in sync with my heartbeat.

And it'll be...

very warm.

Try it.

Come on.

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

- Do it!
- Stop!

[Seol breathing shakily]

How disappointing.

This isn't Detective Jin's method.

I don't know what you want,

but one thing is clear.

Han Sejin.

You're just a mediocre psychopath killer.

Even without Detective Jin,

his colleagues and I

will make sure you get judged by the law.

So you can never defeat Detective Jin,

alive or dead.

[♪ music stops]

You're leaving my DNA
under your fingernail? A dying message?

Dying Message: A message left by
a murder victim just before their death

But too bad.

You need fingers to find fingernails.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

It was turned off just recently.

This seems to be the right place.

- Wait!
- What is it?

What's going on?

This bastard.

- What's wrong?
- This is a booby trap.

It explodes the moment you move your foot.

Am I stepping on a landmine or something?

How powerful is it?

[Kang Doha sighs]

That depends
on the type of explosive used.

For now, don't move
as much as possible and stay still.

[Pil mutters]

[breathing heavily]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Let... Let me hold this.

[Pil] What...

What is it? A wire?

[Pil mutters]

Slowly.

[stammers]
A bomb.

[Kang Doha] This looks like a tripwire.

Tripwire: A wire used in booby traps
that is triggered by movement

[Pil] What?

What... What the...

What is this? Why are there so many?

[Pil mutters]

Are we...

in the middle of the bomb right now?

- We're lucky.
- What?

He can avoid it.

- What?
- [car approaching]

[Kang Doha] Jindo Dog won't come this way.

Thanks to us.

Over here.

[exhales heavily]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[Hogae] You bastard!

[thuds]

[♪ action music playing]

[Sejin groans]

[grunts]

What the hell?

I returned from hell, you bastard.

[groaning]

[panting]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[both grunting]

Jindo Dog, you don't die easily, do you?

I'll die after I catch you, you bastard!

- [bones crunching]
- [groaning]

- [snickers]
- [yells]

[groaning]

[panting]

[groans in pain]

[Pil] It's huge.

Be careful.

Is that it?

[exhales deeply]

Are you nervous?

[chuckles nervously]
No, I'm fine.

You're not fine.

It will explode the moment
you lift your foot.

I'm fine. I got a light cramp
in my foot, that's all.

[clears throat]

I think it's your hand that's not fine.

What's wrong with your hand?

[Kang Doha] A lot is wrong with my hand.

I've cut the wrong wire before.

[breathing nervously]

You can wait for the EOD team.

[sighs]

Detective Jin isn't well right now

and he's facing that guy alone.

Whatever.

Worst case, we die, right?

Okay.

What's your favorite color?

I'm choosing?

[Kang Doha] Let's give it a shot.

What's your favorite color?

Red.

I don't get dispatched
whenever I wear red underwear.

- Okay.
- [Pil stammers] Okay.

Here we go.

[panting]

[Pil] It worked. It worked.

[Pil breathing heavily]

- [beeping]
- What?

[explosion]

[Sejin] There's one more person
to open up.

Hogae.

You know what this is, right?

[breathes heavily]

It'll sting a little.

[groans]

See?

You can do it!

But it's too late.

[grunting]

[Sejin snickers]

You bastard.

You bastard.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[grunting]

[panting]

[Hogae panting]

[Hogae grunts]

[handcuffs clinking]

Seol.

Come on, Seol.

Seol.

[Seol] Detective Jin.

[♪ upbeat music playing,
Jeon Woong, Lee Daehwi "Fire"]

[detective] We're preparing
to transport patients.

That's all for now.

[Dongwoo] Let's go to the ambulance.

I can't move.

- [Pil] Gosh.
- [Dongwoo] You're okay.

[Seoha] Slowly.

Get up slowly.

Go.

TAEWON GENERAL HOSPITAL

- Yes?
- [examiner] Ms. Yun.

The entire recovery of the button
camera footage is complete.

Yes, I'll send the footage right away.

Okay.

[Sejin] What should I do first?

Administer a drug or get a consultation?

He already knew.

[sighs]

[Pil] You're here. Oh, come on.

I told you to get pig's trotters.

Why didn't you tell me
Professor Han was the killer?

What? You knew?

We recovered the button camera footage.

What have you got to say?

Were you going to put on an act

if you faced him
knowing he was the killer?

I could only fool him because no one knew.

Okay? Don't get angry.

But still, how could you do that?

What? From the moment
he revealed his identity to me,

he was determined to kill me.

If he knew I hadn't died, he would've
escaped with Ma Taehwa's money.

He could've gone anywhere in the world
with that money.

And we would've also lost the chance
to arrest him.

Here. Great job.

Thanks.

So tell me.

When exactly did the operation start?

From the moment I died.

[sirens wailing]

I'll call for an ambulance.

Listen carefully.

I'm going to kill someone.

Who are you going to kill?

Me.

[♪ thrilling music playing]

Deceased, Jin Hogae

My leg hurts. The left leg.

Let me see your wound.

[grunts]

[groans]

So what are you going to do?

He's a guy who erases
every trace perfectly.

It will be too late
if we go after the incident.

There's only one way to catch this guy.

[breathes deeply]

Catching him in action on site.

Then don't you need a bait?

I have to go to him.

Just find out where his hideout is.

I'll be right behind you.

- Okay.
- The autopsy is tomorrow, right?

I need your help, Ms. Yun.

I'll hire an examiner then.

Okay.

Wait. What about the face?
I was completely fooled.

They sometimes secretly use
silicone masks in the military.

So I know some
special effects makeup artists.

[♪ rock music playing]

Are you involved in another
secret operation in the military?

No.

It's a secret operation in the NFS.

I prepared it when I received the call.
Check it out.

Sir,

it's this guy.

[makeup artist] Right, this should work.

Like this.

[♪ music stops]

[Hong] The wound behind the ear

needs to be exactly the same.

And put this under the skin.

For the cause of death, it's better
to have a wound from debris in the neck.

We need to simulate excessive bleeding
leading to exsanguination.

So should I go
with a severed carotid artery?

Yes, around here.

[Hong] The length should be
about 1.5 inches.

Make sure to apply a lot of blood
inside the body as well.

That way, it will be less noticeable.

[makeup artist] Because this is silicone,

the scalpel won't cut
as easily as real skin.

So I should apply more pressure
while cutting. Got it.

See you during the autopsy, Jin Hogae.

Lie down.

[♪ quirky music playing]

Okay.

[grunts]

[Hong] We will proceed with the head
of Forensic Engineering, Kang Doha,

who will collect any debris
from the explosion that we may discover.

- [Kang Doha] Ms. Aeri.
- [Aeri] I'm on it.

[Kang Doha] Wait.

Put it back fast.

[Hong] I did.

It's a relief
that Mr. Baek left at the perfect time.

I know it was a trap investigation,

but we falsified the death certificate,
forged various official documents,

and even faked the autopsy.

You know you made us accomplices, right?

I just recently left the military,
and I might lose my job again.

I'll take full responsibility.
Don't worry.

I didn't start with absolute certainty,

but I had missed something important.

He deliberately went after my weaknesses.

[Sejin] By the way, have you heard
any news about Detective Jin?

I heard that he's missing.

[Seol] He should be fine.

He's probably out there
chasing after the culprit.

Song Seol.

[thumping]

I'm glad I at least realized it then.

[♪ gentle music playing]

[Pil] Seol.

[Pil whimpers]

Give me the crutch.

[groans]

Seol.

[sobs]

Do you know how I felt?

I'm sorry.

"Would I have been able to save him
if I had gone to the scene sooner?"

"Would he have been alive
had I told him not to go?"

I was in despair and blamed myself.

If there had to be another victim,

I thought it would be better
if it were me.

The person who harmed you
was right in front of me,

but I wasn't scared
because I thought I was left alone again.

[♪ gentle music playing,
BUMJIN "Cross The Way"]

Do you know how terrified I was?

I was worried
something might happen to you.

I would've never done this
if I knew I would put you in danger.

It was really tough for me to bear.

I wanted to keep our promise.

Okay?

You told me to stay alive and come home.

So I endured it.

[scoffs]

[chuckles]

Thank you

for keeping the promise.

But if things go wrong,

you could lose your job.

It's fine.

You're alive. That's all that matters.

Specially related person, remember?

[♪ gentle music playing,
BUMJIN "Cross The Way"]

Taewon Fire Station

You must've been busy.

To a detective, the severity
of the case doesn't matter.

The unsolved case
takes the highest priority.

Now,

if you look here,

next to Cho Iljun is Hwang Jungsoon.

She worked as a permit officer
in Taewon-gu Office's

Construction Department 10 years ago.

It turns out she's someone I know.

She almost became a victim
of serial arson.

Remember the fourth
unsuccessful arson attempt?

I remember.

[Hong] Sponge cake has lots of air layers.

And it won't change shape even if a liquid
is injected, which won't raise suspicion.

- [Hogae] The stray cat ruined their plan.
- [cat meows]

I felt bad for the cat and buried it
in the yard, you darn pervert.

- You're mistaken, ladies.
- [civilian] Mistaken?

- He's not a bad guy.
- What's going on?

- He's not?
- He was on a stakeout.

There's a reason
Yang Sangman chose this house.

She's done

a lot of shady things.

[Mr. Baek] Kim Donghyun...

is your son, right?

[Mr. Baek sucks teeth]

He's only 28 years old,

yet somehow he's very investment-savvy.

He happens to own
three Next Officetel units,

and all prime units at that.

Shall we dig into
the source of his capital?

[beeps]

[Jaejun] To keep it mess-free,

let's not transact any cash.

When we build the officetel,

you can choose a few to take.

Not in your own name though.

I'll put them under my son's name.

Can you handle
the processing securely, Prosecutor Yang?

Yes, I'll make sure to put aside
some units on the premium floors.

In return, make sure the demolition

happens without a hitch.

[Jungsoon] Thanks to the wise decision
of the judge and the prosecutor,

the current residents
have been taken care of.

[Jaejun] To flush out a rat,
you have to set it--

Goodness, a development scandal

involving an incumbent judge
and prosecutor.

Even though we investigated it secretly,

the reporters already figured it out
and are waiting outside.

I'll at least
put a towel around the handcuffs.

[♪ sentimental music playing,

The grave of Bong Dojin

[♪ music stops]

[Kang Doha groans softly]

[Kang Doha] So...

how are you?

Thanks...

to your family

and your next-door family,

we're all good.

We're all doing well.

So stop worrying and be well.

I miss you.

[judge] Defendant Han Sejin,

also known as Dex Kates.

Charged for the murders
of Ma Joongdo, Yang Chiyoung,

Seok Moongu, Ma Taehwa,

Jin Chuljoong, and Im Sunyeol.

For the victims, Jin Hogae, Song Seol,

Kang Doha, Kongmyeong Pil,

the defendant is charged
with threat, special assault,

and use of explosives,
firearms, and swords

in violation of safety management laws.

He is also charged
with violation of medical laws,

including unlicensed medical practices,

theft of pharmaceuticals, violation
of laws related to organ transplantation,

violation of laws related to information
and communications network use,

setting fire to buildings,

forgery of official documents,
and use of forged official documents.

Thereby, I give the following verdict.

The defendant meticulously planned
all these crimes in advance,

and the cruelty, wickedness,
extreme disregard for human life,

and the attitude of extreme indifference
displayed in these crimes

can only be seen as a manifestation
of the defendant's true nature.

As such, this court
has reached the conclusion

that the inevitable choice
is to deprive the defendant of life

and permanently isolate him from society.

Therefore, this court
sentences the defendant

to the maximum sentence prescribed by law,

the death penalty.

[applause]

Supreme Court of Korea

[♪ tense music playing]

Hello, Mr. Han Sejin.

[Anna] No, Mr. Dex Kates.

Congratulations on your death sentence.

The United States Department of Justice
has requested your extradition.

In hopes of uncovering the full truth
of the more than 10 murders

you are believed
to have committed on US soil,

[FBI agent] South Korea's justice ministry
has initiated extradition proceedings.

You probably wanted to
rot quietly in a South Korean prison,

where they don't even
carry out executions.

But we're transferring you to a US prison.

And there's a lethal injection there
with your name on it.

You're going to pay for the crimes
you've committed with your life.

[Hogae] "Suspect Jin Chuljoong

is charged with leaking official secrets,
receiving bribes,

and abusing authority.

However, as the suspect has passed away,

the case will be closed
due to lack of indictment."

I've brought an end

to the collaboration you initiated.

The late Jin Chuljoong

You were a prosecutor
at the last moment, Father.

[all] One, two, three.

Fire station that catches fire

[employee 1] The NFS fails!

Help them.

- Go and help them.
- Okay.

- [employee 2] Come on.
- [employee 3] That's it.

Pop it!

NFS that catches evidence

- All right!
- This is not the end.

You must be exhausted
from exercising after a long time.

We'll proceed with the awards ceremony
for the sports competition results.

[all cheering]

Shall we start
by announcing the first place?

- The first place goes to...
- Goes to...

[all imitating drumbeats]

[both] The fire station!

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

[Mr. Baek] The second place goes to...

[all imitating drumbeats]

- The NFS.
- The NFS!

The NFS!

Third place goes to the police. Here.

[cheering]

[Mr. Baek] Goodness.

Everyone, please pay attention.

It's embarrassing
now that we have your attention.

I prepared for today's event

because many of our colleagues
were injured on duty,

and they returned in good health.

Since you are all gathered here today,

I will...
[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[Mr. Baek laughs awkwardly]
Goodness.

So...

what I want to say to you today is--

[Pil] Come on.

Mr. Baek and Chief Dokgo will treat us!

[all cheer]

- [employee 4] Amazing!
- [employee 5] Thank you!

- All right.
- Yes!

If you have to work tomorrow,
you should drink in moderation.

[Pil] If you're off tomorrow,
drink until you're wasted.

You're not wearing red underwear again,
are you, Detective Kong?

I changed the color
of my lucky underwear. I'll show you.

I changed it to blue!
[Pil laughs]

Did you all fill up your glasses?

[Samsoon] All right. Let's start from here
and all drink up.

I'll go first. Here I go!

- Mmm!
- [whooping]

[♪ lively music playing]

[Samsoon laughs]

Didn't you pour too much?

- [Samsoon] Drink up!
- Okay.

[employees] Bottoms up!

[all cheering, applauding]

Thank you!

[Pil] What did you have for lunch?

[Anna] Thank you!

- Enjoy the food!
- What were you going to say?

I'm curious.

[chuckles]

[Mr. Baek] Come on.

Open it when you're alone.

When you're alone.

[♪ calm music playing]

[Seol] What are you doing here?

Hey.

I'm upset we ranked third
because of Myeongpil.

[gasps]

[sighs]

[Hogae clears throat]

I deeply reflect on making unilateral
investigative decisions

and disregarding the utmost value
of respecting human life

as a police officer.

Taking past mistakes as lessons...

through... What was it?

Through relentless effort...

[Pil] Detective Jin, this time
you really need to plead hard.

[Mr. Baek] Thankfully, we managed
to wrap it up with a reprimand

because the NFS took
extenuating circumstances into account.

But you better

do a good job.

I'll do well.

I can't tell if you're worried
or mocking me.

I'll be going then.

Good luck.

Goodness.

[♪ funky music playing]

[chairperson] Even though the goal
was to apprehend a felon,

making reckless decisions
to pursue an excessive trap investigation,

resulting in potential harm
to human lives,

can be deemed
as grounds for disciplinary action.

Jin Hogae. No, Lieutenant Jindo Dog...

"Chairperson
of the disciplinary committee"

...do you have something to say
to the committee members before they vote?

Yes, sir.

[exhales deeply]

During an investigation,
the investigation team

should move together like a single body,
based on trust,

but I feel like I made
a risky decision on my own.

[mumbles]
Good, good.

But...

what would you have done
in this situation, sir?

What?

That Dex or something
is a truly evil bastard.

[Hogae] Honestly, I don't regret
my decision.

If I ever come across
someone like him again,

I'll arrest him even if I have to...

beat him half to death.

Detective Jin.

What?

That's what a detective should do.

[clapping]

- [cop 1] That's right, Jindo Dog!
- [cop 2] You're right!

- [cop 3] You're great!
- [cop 4] That's right!

[cops cheering, applauding]

[cop 5] That's right!

[cop 1] That's right, Jin Hogae!

[♪ light music playing]

[chuckles]

[♪ traditional music playing]

[crowd cheering, applauding]

By openly and passionately

- counting on and understanding each other...
- [cell phones buzz, beep]

...to ensure
that there will be nothing to regret...

- I apologize.
- [cell phone buzzes]

Hey, move it! Let's go.

I'm wearing blue underwear.
Why are we being called out?

- It's a joint response.
- Get moving!

Get married tomorrow.

[chairperson] Hey, get moving!

- My goodness.
- What do we do?

- What are you doing? Aren't you coming?
- But we should still go on our honeymoon.

Let's go.

"A prisoner transport vehicle overturned."

[Hogae] "Multiple casualties
and fatalities."

There were fatalities. We should go.

Let's go.
