@Whimsical

When I was a rookie,

they assigned me to the Central District Office.

The District Chief at the time

sat down with newcomers like me

and asked a question over drinks.

A serial killer and a chaebol head

have both been caught.

You can indict only one of them.

Who would you go after?

It was quite interesting.

Some chose the chaebol guy

as to make a name for themselves.

Others were outraged

set on catching the serial killer.

Those were the answers.

Before the District Chief

they even started arguing.

Debating who's right or wrong.

Then it was my turn.

I had to give an answer.

So I asked the District Chief.

Can I be honest?

He said there's no harm.

So I said what I was thinking.

Just as it is.

Let me..

share what I said.

I'll catch the chaebol head

and indict him as a serial killer.

Those very words.

Are you aware of

who is across this table?

Me.

I can do that, if I put my mind to it.

Hold them back.

You know

how willing the President is

about this chaebol reform.

Before things get out of hand

turn yourself in and get punished.

You started out as a thug in the Fourth Republic

to become a chaebol owner

so what more could you want?

Frankly you reek of evil.

We root out corruption.

You know that, right?

...Damn.

District Chief Lee.

I'm sure you know

how I made it this far.

Right?

Samcheong Training Camp got me in shape,

the 3S Policy made me rich,

the war against crime gave me guts,

and the economic crisis got me connections to last 20 years.

How would this be any different?

I won't go down so easily.

There are promises to collect on.

No, no.

It's different this time.

What with the public sentiment.

The people

want to see your downfall

and crush what you worked for.

Don't you get it?

Why the President wants chaebol reform?

You keep saying the top guy

means to reform us,

but he's also eager for prosecution reform.

Maybe I should help him out.

I mean, he's the President.

You were a prosecutor of the Fifth Republic

and made it to District Chief.

You sir also reek of evil.

The world has changed in May.

We no longer sit on our hands

as you prosecutors deal us blows.

What was that?

Damn it. Hey!

Prosecution power?

Is there such a thing now?

Consider yourself lucky if you don't get yelled at.

Both of us

are rooted evil as you say

so why don't we fight it out?

When we're at war,

which scum do you think will clear out first?

Huh?

Cho Young-gook.

Is that your death wish?

I don't know who will be wielding your knife

but I hope it's not anyone

you're quite fond of

or you'd like close at hand.

I can make him breathe his last.

Jae-moon?

I have

a case you'd like.

(Bad Guys)

Vile City

Episode 1

Gov't ID / Noh Jin-pyeong

The court denied the arrest warrant for

HS Group Chairman Cho Young-gook

who is facing charges of embezzling 60 billion.

This rejection is expected to provoke a controversy

over the recent prosecutors' investigation.

Chairman Cho's arrest warrant...

Music

Banned advertising

Call the ambulance!

Prosecution is unable to give evidence

Suspicions of targeted investigation

Prosecution stop targeted investigations

Chairman Cho, hang in there

(Chairman Cho, hang in there)

Chairman Cho, hang in there -Inbukdong residents-

Hi I missed your call.

This is my first day after my transfer.

From today, I work at Seowon District Office.

Ah.

Congratulations.

But still.

My husband's case..

Mom , water.

You'll look in on it, right?

Yeah, sure. Of course I will.

Thank you.

If there are any updates

please let me know.

Yeah. I'll keep you posted.

Yeah.

Good day.

Bye.

Stop illegal investigations.

Stop, stop.

Revoke the warrant for Chairman Cho.

Revoke! revoke!

No to targeted investigations.

We say no.

Stop illegal investigations...

They're here day after day.

Why do you think they're protesting?

Revoke the warrant for Chairman Cho.

They think Cho Young-gook provided for them.

But those people.

Gosh.

After working so hard ,

they're not taking the credit.

Money power.

If you have such luxuries

they make you a saint in our country.

I mean, they look out for you.

- Like that. - No to targeted investigations.

We say no. we say no.

Are you Prosecutor Noh Jin-yeong?

Yes.

Investigator Shin Joo-myeong.

I'm excited to work with you.

Ah.

Investigator Shin.

Yes.

- I'm excited myself. - Yup.

Revoke the warrant for Chairman Cho.

Revoke! revoke!

Shall we go in? Chief's waiting.

Sure.

- This way. - Uh yeah.

Happy Residents, Thriving Seowon

Surprised to be here and not where you asked for?

Yeah.

Chief pulled some strings.

He went out of his way.

He wanted me here?

Didn't you know?

No. About what?

Huh? I guess you don't.

Ah this is...

I shouldn't be talking.

There's this thing we're doing.

That's why you're here.

Hear the rest from the Chief.

What is he like?

What do you want to know?

Uh well...

Overall.

Hmm. He was a police officer.

He's a good guy

but has a foul mouth.

He's a good guy

but quick to throw fists.

He's a good guy

but has bad manners.

He's a good guy

but doesn't spend much.

Ah he's also often late.

I guess he's really a good guy.

Yeah, he is.

A new guy?

I'm Noh Jin-pyeong.

I see.

Keep it sharp.

Our Third Deputy General.

- Chief is having lunch out here. - Yeah.

This is the back gate.

Quite different from the front, huh?

Yeah it is.

- Now this way. - Yeah.

If you see what surrounds our District Office

it's the same as Seowon city.

What is?

We only care for what shows.

Unaware of what goes on in the back.

- It's this place. - Ah, yeah.

Where did he go?

Go on in.

I guess he's taking a dump.

Ah.

Aren't you joining us?

No, I don't want to disturb you.

I'll wait out here.

Ah okay then.

Step ahead careful of glass

Police holds off on evidence

Is there any proof at all?

Shim Jeong-gook

Gran, clean your bathroom.

It's filthy.

Prosecutor Noh?

Yes, I'm pleased to meet you.

- Sit, sit. - Sure.

Did you eat?

Yes. I had something to eat.

Chief finish your lunch.

Who said I was Chief?

I'm not Chief.

I'm on leave of absence so I don't even have an office.

That's why we're meeting here.

Ah.

Where did you go to school?

A local university.

It's okay. The same with me.

What field are you trying for?

I'd like to be Head of Planning.

Don't you like the scenes?

No not really.

I think I'm better with paper investigations.

So you'll conclude first

then collect your evidence?

Why become prosecutor? Try out as a writer.

I think there's been a mistake.

Noh Jin-pyeong.

Why do you think I asked for you?

I'm not sure.

You don't, do you?

No.

Do you have your wallet?

Huh?

I forgot to bring mine. Pay up.

- Ah let's go. - What?

Where?

To work.

Come hurry.

- Let's go. - Alright.

Chief Chief.

We can go in my car.

Are you driving me home?

Tag along. And bring him.

Sir, get in.

Yeah, sure. Of course I will.

Let's get rid of our IDs.

- What? - They'll stab you

if you're seen with it on.

Ah I see.

Seowon city has about 1.5 million people.

A few years back, the Asian Games were held here.

Among the 243 local governments,

it's the top 4th or 5th based on collected tax.

People here are well off.

But I'm pinched.

The rich folks who live here

always trace back to Cho Young-gook.

This is Inbuk-dong's residential and commercial place.

The people who were protesting before,

they're from this part of town.

Including families, maybe 150,000?

Anyways that's about

how many belong to Cho Young-gook's HS Group.

150,000 people..

HS Transportation HS Development

HS Chemicals, HS Techwin,

HS Life Insurance.

That's where they all work at.

HS Group's 20th Anniversary

So law isn't really law here.

Cho Young-gook's words are law.

(Seowon Prosecutor's Office, a threat to livelihood)

We condemn Seowon Prosecutors for cutting household income

This is Innam-dong's fun district.

It's where you drink and go crazy.

Dongbang Gang settled themselves here.

Including everyone,

they have about 1,000 members.

all the drugs abused here in the week end

would weigh three times your body weight.

Ketamine, cocaine, meth, LSD, GHB,

bath salts, spice rush, hashish and yaba.

As if a busting flea market,

all sorts of drugs are found here.

And Dongbang Gang is in charge of their circulation.

Ha Sang-mo is the boss.

Cho Young-gook gave him Dongbang Gang.

He's a real mobster.

Mindless and cruel,

the guy's nature

is the worst you've ever seen.

Huh?

Hello?

Yes, Chief.

Ah , Yeah. All right.

I'll see you there. Yeah.

Mr. Heo has found out the hideout.

Sure.

Who is Mr. Heo?

He owns the diner.

I looked into it, and...

Who's that?

Our new prosecutor.

There are the Dongbang thugs.

I guess they got a bite to eat.

Look at those cuties.

Head out. Take him to Jang Seong-cheoI.

Ah, all right.

Get in.

Ah hey.

They might start up a fight.

Who's fighting who?

They'll get their ass kicked.

Don't you know the guy?

Go and stop them.

Who said they'll beat up Mr. Heo?

l sure didn't say that.

But...

This is Inseo-dong.

From district one to five

they're people without any connections,

who are born to destitute parents,

and that ended up for the worse.

People missing illegal immigrants,

people erased from papers

are all found in this part of town.

Murder, disappearance, rape...

There's no end to all that

in this neighborhood.

It's ridiculous how such a place still exists.

Cho Young-gook's HS Constructions

is trying to develop the district,

but if Cho Young-gook gets arrested

any plans for a new town will be canceled.

But if Cho Young-gook doesn't get arrested

they'll bulldoze the place to start building

and the people from Inbuk-dong

will move to this part of town.

One side says to arrest him

while the other is dead against it.

That's how it is now.

Who should we side with?

I'm not sure.

We should leave it to the law.

If so, they'll rebuild this place.

Then that will happen.

Stay where you are.

- What's with you lady. - Let go.

The guys who first came up with the law

what do you think they had in mind?

Would they have seen this coming?

It's unbearable to watch.

OK. We're here.

This is the old downtown.

Injoong-dong.

A little over a decade ago,

this was the hot place.

That subway was built then.

Those were the good old days.

But they fixed up lnnam-dong

and took all the young consumers.

That's how the story goes.

So it's pretty quiet here.

Is this the office?

Yeah.

Why do we work here?

It's a great hide-out place.

Finding this office here..

That's another story.

The door opened just like that.

- Thanks. - This way now.

Hey.

This is Prosecutor Noh Jin-pyeong.

You heard right?

Say hello.

Ah, yes. Pleased to meet you.

I'm Noh Jin-pyeong from Seowon District Office.

Yeah, hi.

Hello.

Man.

I haven't eaten all day.

Sir, have some ramen.

No no. You go ahead.

- Excuse me. - Sure.

Gov't ID

Are you a Detective?

Hey.

- Do you have 5,000? - What?

Any 5,000? Lend me some. I'll pay you back tomorrow.

5,000...

- In dollars? - Yeah, not in cents.

Lend me the money, I'll pay you tomorrow.

Why would I have that on me?

I don't.

Stop acting up.

Do you have 5000?

Me?

Let me borrow, I'll pay you tomorrow.

Are you kidding me?

- Sir, that is... - No, no.

Huh?

Are you kidding me?

He thinks I'm joking.

- Go to hell. - What did you say?

Sir, sir.

It's just the way he is.

Hang on, hang on.

Sir, hang on.

Yes, Chief.

No?

Now?

Yes, we'll be on our way.

Chief says to dock.

With the guys.

See? He should've listened from the start. Damn.

Man.

Yeah, it's me.

Pil-soon will send you an address.

Bring your guys there.

And tape them up.

Send him the address.

Man, I lost the dough.

This pisses me off. Man.

Damn it!

Let's go.

Go where?

I'll tell you on our way.

- Hurry, hurry. - I mean... where to?

I'll tell you on our way.

Come on, this is my line of work.

Why repeat the same old thing?

I'm not getting out there for fun, you know.

- Investigator Shin. - Yes?

Where are we going?

Hang on. Let me finish m y call.

Hon aren't you tired of saying the same old thing?

Don't be like that.

What? Is he going to drive us if he knows?

Keep your mouth shut.

Are you talking to me?

Huh?

Damn it.

You want to be the Head of Planning.

What field are you trying for?

I'd like to be the Head of Planning.

Do you know why Chief Woo brought you here?

Hang up. I'll call you back.

Hey hey. Seong-cheol.

Sorry about that.

Ah man.

Gosh.

Mr. Heo sure is fast. He's here early.

Sir, you stay here.

What? But...

Investigator Shin.

Oh man.

What?

You won't die don't worry.

Huh?

Hey.

We have to catch this bastard.

Mr. Heo. Tell Noh to stay in the car.

Chief Woo it's me Noh Jin-pyeong.

Damn.

Who said they'll beat up Mr. Heo?

l sure didn't say that.

- Hello. - Uh , hi.

Ah, yeah.

What's going on now?

A little later,

Chief will fill you in.

Just stay tight in here.

Today's your first day of work.

H i.

This is my first day after my transfer.

Man.

Hurry fight your way up.

It's quiet over here.

We're hit on the fourth floor.

I'm going up to fourth.

How can I? They're like a pack of dogs.

There are too many. We can't go up.

Where is that bastard?

Uh...

Hey.

Hey...

Stop the car!

Let go!

Damn it!

Chief, please!

- Fifty each. - Yeah.

These fifty here.

Cover up with this man's shirt.

Yeah.

You should've told us earlier.

Why cut up your pretty face?

I'm sorry I'm sorry.

Call him asking to meet up.

But...

Why are you looking for Jae-pil?

You awake?

Why did you come in? I said to stay put.

Why did you ask for me?

Huh?

Tell me.

Before I get you all locked up!

I won't let this pass. Got that?

I'm going to report all this.

What you and these bastards did.

all that you did !

- Prosecutor sir. - Let go.

Are you with them?

- Want jail time? - No...

Want to get locked up? Huh?

hey, Noh Jin-pyeong.

Aren't you sick of her calling?

Your dead partner Park Chang-joon's wife.

You want her to stop.

But still.

My husband's case..

you'll still look into it right?

Don't you have anything to say?

Just tell her.

That you're not responsible for her husband's death.

How he brought upon it himself.

Why can't you say that?

I think we got the wrong guy.

You got so scared, you signed up for transfer.

Please Chief.

You decided to hold a pen

afraid of dying like him.

Chang-joon.

Chang-joon!

Call the ambulance.

Why won't she stop calling?

Ask her.

What? What?

You know? Huh?

Do you?

Oh Goo-tak's in jail

and Chang-joon was killed.

You three were close.

He's our new prosecutor.

Hi, I'm Noh Jin-pyeong.

I'm excited to work with you.

If you want to catch Park Chang-joon's killer

just stay put.

He'll be here soon.

Sir.

We all know what you did

with Chief Oh Goo-tak.

That's why you're here.

Chief had asked for you.

What are you trying to do here?

We're out to get Cho Young-gook.

Chief Woo will wield his knife.

A knife out to get

Cho Young-gook.

Did that guy Joo Jae-pil

kill Chang-joon?

Remember the files

you glanced at before?

Back at the diner.

Don't pretend you didn't.

You saw them.

Yes, I did.

Our District Chief is a mean bastard.

An opportunist.

I don't know what's gotten into him,

but he's now after HS Group.

He was going to root HS out.

But Cho Young-gook lopped off his branches.

To keep his roots safe.

Cho Young-gook's lawyer Kang Chang-hee.

He was found dead at a motel in Innam-dong.

HS Group's CFO

Shim Jeong-gook was struck down.

Cho Young-gook's driver Kim Seok-soo.

He was cemented in his car.

They all died, a few days apart.

Joo Jae-pil killed them.

Who instigated Joo Jae-pil to murder?

Cho Young-gook.

He gave the orders.

Something troubled him.

Joo Jae-pil as always took care of dirty business.

You know murders and stuff. Huh?

By catching Joo Jae-pil

are you trying to prove that Cho Young-gook instigated murder?

If that's not what I'm after

why else would l be here?

Getting beat up at my age.

I need him to testify Cho Young-gook's orders,

then ask for the arrest warrant.

What happens to him then?

Not even the Chief Justice can reject it then.

He shed too much blood.

Are you sure Joo Jae-piI killed Chang-joon?

Where's the evidence?

I don't have any.

But I have a witness.

You saw him.

You saw Joo Jae-pil kill Chang-joon.

Huh?

Afraid Dongbang Gang might get you,

weren't you keeping your mouth shut?

That's what I thought.

hey.

I know you're scared.

I know you want to run.

But know this.

If you start running,

you'll die on the run.

Is that how you want to die?

Does turning away feel better?

The case is stressful to face?

hey, but what's done is done.

So shouldn't you open wide

and glare out at them?

I mean you're a prosecutor.

Tell me if you're not up for it.

Just leave.

And don't hurt yourself.

What does he say?

He's scared.

Give him time to think.

But it shouldn't take long.

Joo Jae-pil's coming soon.

Joo-myeong. It took us three years.

He can have three hours at least.

hey. Chief Chief.

Here..

Prosecutor Woo.

You've come all this way.

Was it Prosecutor Min?

How is he doing?

I hear he's been badly hurt.

He's to use a crutch for life.

The doctor says so.

Oh no.

It's such a pity.

Well he's still a prosecutor.

The job doesn't require both legs.

He can twirl his pen at a desk.

Let me ask you something.

You knew you'd win?

That this would happen? From the start?

Come on.

Well...

I've been lucky.

Talk, you bastard. Wipe off that smile.

I guess you've been drinking.

Sure.

I knew I'd win.

That bald head.

He worked for HS Capital, but now he's a city councilor.

That guy with glasses.

I paid for his studies, and now he's a judge.

That mustache.

Thanks to me he's Criminal Section Chief.

Do you take the hint?

If you try to catch me

in Seowon city,

you end up like you do.

One without a leg.

And the other...

Drinking away your money?

You all knew.

Except Tae-sik and me, you knew.

That you'd kick our ass.

Prosecutor.

Next time.

If you want to lock me up

you need to wield knives

instead of pens.

Not guys who shut themselves up,

searching away their law books.

But who tear things up on scene.

And rather than search the truth,

find guys who can manipulate it.

Guys who are much quicker

to make a move before I do.

More evil and wicked

having committed more crimes

and wreaking more havoc than me.

That's the guy you need.

Law?

Order?

Justice?

You can't catch me with those.

As for me

I'm above the law

and make powerful men.

Justice?

I've never seen the likes of it.

Anyways that's who I am.

Do you now realize

who you've been up against?

Prosecutor Woo.

Doctor.

Hurry.

Sir.

Sir. Prosecutor Noh.

Prosecutor Noh.

Song-i's dad!

- Song-i's dad. - You can't come in.

But I'm his wife.

Mister mister.

Oh no what is to be done?

We should leave it to the law.

If so, they'll rebuild this place.

Then that will happen.

Does turning away feel better?

The case is stressful to face?

hey, but what's done is done.

So shouldn't you open wide

and glare out at them?

I mean you're a prosecutor.

You're right,Chief

It's like what you said.

I knew it all along.

I see you. Hey!

I didn't know his name.

But his face...

That bastard who killed Chang-joon...

His face...

Yeah.

l knew but looked the other way.

Chief Oh was sent to jail.

And they killed Chang-joon.

So I got scared.

Afraid that I'd get hurt.

I...

don't think I can run anymore.

I have nowhere..

Chief, I have nowhere else to go.

What you did with Chief Oh Goo-tak.

That's what you should do.

The special team he made,

when they caught the bad guys

you indicted them with sentences.

You did the dirty dishes.

No one blamed you that criminals were about

trying to reduce their sentences.

What you did then

do that now.

What I can't do due to my standing ,

is all yours to take.

That's what you're here to do, Noh Jin-pyeong.

Then...

I'll wield the knives.

From behind him.

Yeah, all right.

I'll call you back.

Prosecutor Noh.

Did you know that Chief Oh

brought in criminals

for his investigations?

No I did not.

I'm sorry.

He just went in the front.

Don't do anything until he's deep inside.

Prosecutor.

Relax.

It won't be like last time.

He's walking up the stairs.

He's without a weapon. Get him.

No weapon.

You're here?

You should've told me.

Why did you call the police?

What? What Police?

Stay here.

Joo Jae-pil.

Stop it you bastard.

This ends here.

Just beat him, you bastard.

You bastard.

Come here.

Kim Seok-soo Kang Chang-hee Shim Jeong-gook.

You killed them, right?

Who gave you those orders?

Hey you bastard.

hey.

You.

Is Cho Young-gook behind you?

Huh?

You bastard.

Ha damn it.

Hey.

Even so,

- how could you commit murder! - Come here.

Come here you bastard.

You scumbag.

That was embarrassing.

You can sure fight.

Damn it.

Bastard.

Come here.

Come here you bastard.

Bastard.

You bastard.

Hey. Joo Jae-pil's went down. Get him.

Prosecutor.

Don't be like last time.

Risking your neck.

That's not your job.

Let's stick to our parts.

That's way, we can catch Cho Young-gook.

Don't you agree?

Jae-pil. It's been long.

Hey.

I thought you run a diner.

When did you start hanging with them?

Hey.

If you start running, you'll die on the run.

Is that how you want to die?

hey.

You bastard.

It was you.

Bad Guys: City of Evil

What was he trying to hide?

You need to find that.

I'll assemble the team.

But they're all...

- knives. - Bring it on, bastard.

I'll tell you.

What he was trying to hide.

He's probably looking for the guy

who gave the order to kill his sister.

ls there no other way?

Hang on.

Get the warrant, and let's make this bigger.

Ride on Han Kang-joo, catch Joo Jae-pil,

and wager Cho Young-gook and Bae Sang-do.
