FIRST PLACE

-[alarm beeping]
-[man 1] Having fun is important to me.

Doing something fun makes me happy.

-Happy people are healthy people.
-[groans]

Which is why,

for the sake of my health and happiness,
I only do stuff I think is fun.

There's nothing
that I love more than sports

and esports.

Know why?

Because I always win.

Are you all right?

You did awesome.

Yeah.

[chuckles softly]

[rapid gunfire on speakers]

[song fades]

Go ahead, I'm going in. One down.

Two bite the dust.

Okay.

Dang, I'm out. Come on, back me up.

Ah! They dropped a smoke screen.

I can't keep 'em out.

-Ah, I died!
-[man 1] He's moving in.

I'll shoot 'em down. Move over.

Okay, I'll take the stairs then.

No, I died. They're closing in on you.

They're all gonna die.

[all chant] Go, Diarrhea! Go, Diarrhea!
Go, Diarrhea! Go, Diarrhea!

-[man 1] I'll take them out!
-[chanting] Go, Diarrhea!

-[man 1] Assholes!
-[chanting] Diarrhea!

Fuck! I can't concentrate, you guys!

Oh! Fuck yeah!

Are you, like, a psychic?

-[laughs]
-Oh, hey! Come by next week.

-Touch up the blonde.
-I need to?

Thank you. Thank you.

Hold on, I'm almost there.

-We're playing now.
-[game gunfire]

And make it quick.

-Uh-huh.
-[man 2] Speed pedal.

Okay.

[distant fighting]

[man 3] Stop, that's enough.

-[man 4] Why are you messing with me?
-[man 3] Stop!

Hmm?

-[men grunting]
-[tense music playing]

-Oh.
-[man 3] Stop fighting.

What's going on?

[man 4] Son of a bitch!

[man 3 grunts, groans]

Come here, you little…

Come at me. Goddamn it!

Whoa.

-Asshole!
-[grunts]

Oh, huh.

-Get off me! Get off me!
-Stop fighting me.

[man 4] I said, get off! Fuck you!

Let go…

Fine, I'll go with you.

[panting]

[man 4] Damn it.

-I won't cuff you, so let's go quietly.
-All right.

[panting]

-[man 3 grunts]
-Fucking shit!

-[man 2] Fuck!

-You fucker!

Hey, hey!

Asshole!

Asshole!

-Fucker!
-[man 1] Hey, stop, stop!

Break it up! Break it up!

-He's really hurt.
-What the fuck do you want?

Son of a bitch!

What's his deal?

-[groaning]
-[man 1] Oh.

-Whoa. Are you all right?
-[groans] Yeah.

[exhales]

-Thanks for your help.
-Sure.

This could have ended very differently.
I can't thank you enough.

-It was no problem at all.
-[upbeat music playing]

On the count of three.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROBATION OFFICE

-One, two, three.
-[camera clicks]

-He's tall and buff as hell.
-Mm-hmm.

-Thank you for all you've done.
-Of course.

-Get home safely.
-Yes, ma'am.

[both chuckle]

-I'd like to introduce you to my director.
-[man] Hello.

-Welcome, Jung-do-ssi.
-Oh.

I'm in charge
of the Electronic Monitoring Division.

I'm Director Kim Sun-min.
It's great to meet you.

Likewise.

Would you be able to spare me
a few minutes right now?

Uh-huh. [chuckles]

There are about 5,000 former inmates
wearing electronic ankle tags nationwide.

People who have committed violent crimes,
like homicide and sexual violence.

And many are re-offenders.

Which is why
there are probation officers like me.

We monitor the re-offenders 24-7,

utilizing electronic anklets, with GPS.

Ah, so then the guy that I helped was a…

That was Supervisor Cho
you previously helped.

He's our martial arts officer.

The former inmates we monitor can
cause trouble every now and again though.

Mmm.

When something like that happens,
we have to get to the spot fast,

to ensure that everyone is safe.

Ah, but as we get up there in age…

[chuckles]

…we're not all as physically capable
of catching them as we'd like.

[Jung-do] Mm.

So therefore, each officer teams up
with a strong young partner.

Typically, they're called
martial arts officers.

Ah, martial arts officer. Oh.

Jung-do-ssi, may I ask
what do you do for work?

I deliver.

My abeoji runs a chicken shop.

That's surprising because Supervisor Cho
made it sound like you do tae kwon do

or judo professionally,
you were so impressive.

-Do you?
-Not for a living.

But in both tae kwon do and judo,
I'm a third dan.

-Wow.
-Kendo too.

-I'm a third dan.
-Wow.

[both chuckle]

Can I please ask you a favor?

No.

[chuckles]

-Of course. Yes, please, ask away.
-[chuckles]

The thing is,
the martial arts officers in our division

are currently on
a triple-shift rotation schedule.

But because of Supervisor Cho's injuries,

the two other martial arts officers
now have to pull 12-hour shifts.

Mmm.

That means they have to work for 12 hours

and come back to work
12 hours later, on repeat.

-Yeah, that's pretty intense.
-It is.

The work we do is somewhat difficult.

Realistically, it's near impossible
to find someone

to fill in just for the five weeks
Supervisor Cho is recovering.

But he told me, when he saw you

and how you were… handling
the former inmate with such ease,

he thought that it would be
nothing short of a miracle

if you might be willing to help us out.

Oh. Uh, but would I even qualify though?

Yeah, you're pretty much in.

Tae kwon do, hapkido, judo, or kendo,

and because you have
a third dan behind you,

you'll definitely be in.

Jung-do-ssi, your skills
are more than enough.

Uh, but is it

something I'll have fun doing?

That's the most important thing for me.

Well,

something "fun" can be defined differently
for each individual.

But I can say, it's such a rewarding job
and work we're proud of.

What we do helps keep civilians safe.

But… [chuckles]

Is that, um, something cool?

Yeah, it is.

It's something where you'll learn a lot,

and by working with us,
you could have fun too.

Hmm.

I know about this because
I've done research for my writing.

You get an anklet because of murder
or another violent crime.

Most of what you'd do is chase
and catch people. It might be a good fit.

-Why?
-[man 1] Adrenaline.

-I think you'd like it too.
-For sure.

[crunching]

What do you think about me
filling in for a martial arts officer?

[inhales sharply]
The triple shift sounds pretty rough.

-Why do you think it'd be rough?
-It'll ruin his sleep cycle.

Diarrhea is in great shape.

-I'll be fine.
-[man 2] Might be too intense.

[man 1] Can you stop changing your mind?

-[man 2] Stop telling me what to do.
-Go ahead and try.

[sniffs] Thank you.

They told me I'd have to chase
and catch the guys if necessary.

-[pensive music playing]
-But what do you think?

I'd be happy to see you take on
a new challenge and learn things.

You got a commendation,
and I'm proud of you.

You are?

Yeah, and, uh, I'm on board.

I'll be able to manage the restaurant,
so worry about you.

[breathes deeply]

Sounds good.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[upbeat music playing]

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROBATION OFFICE

Can I have everyone's attention?

Meet Lee Jung-do.

While Supervisor Cho is recovering,
he'll be helping us out.

Let's welcome him
with a warm round of applause.

[Jung-do] Hello.

This is our senior martial arts officer,
Huh Dong-won.

Hello.

Supervisor Huh will be showing you
how to use the program.

-Great.
-[Sun-min] Take good care of him.

-[Dong-won] No worries.
-[Sun-min] Mm-hmm.

[Dong-won] All right.

These numbers here
are the former inmates we monitor.

[inhales deeply] Oh…

The people here include
someone who raped a ten-year-old boy

and someone who killed his own parents.

JANG HO-SIK
87%/HOMICIDE

When the anklet battery drops to 30%,

those green icons turn yellow.

And when that happens,

we call them and persuade them nicely
to charge up their anklet.

So, uh, what do you think's the next step
if they won't comply?

[music stops]

-Go there?
-[music resumes]

-Nice.
-We go there.

Right.

[Dong-won] You'll be overwhelmed
if I explain everything at once.

For now,

if you're unsure of anything,
just ask Director Kim.

I will. Thanks.

[Dong-won] No problem.

[intriguing music playing]

Hey there, I'm calling
because your battery's down to 30% now.

It would be good to charge it.

Oh, you're out with a friend?

[woman 1] I think he's doing better
than we expected.

Really? I'm so glad to hear that.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-Hmm?

DATE OF BIRTH: MAY 24, 2003

He's 20?

[exhales]

[Sun-min] How did it go?

[officer] Choi Jong-hwa-ssi swore at me
and pushed me when I told him to go home,

so you could say I struggled a little.

I was hoping he would just listen to me.

[officer sighs]

I wish he would seriously stop doing that.

[line ringing]

-[man] Hello?
-Oh.

-Is this… Lee Yang-ho-ssi's phone?
-Yes.

I'm just calling as a reminder

to make sure that you charge…

-[woman] Who is it?
-[Yang-ho] I didn't order jjajangmyeon.

-[disconnect beep]
-Hello?

Jjajangmyeon?

REDIAL

[line ringing]

Oh, the call got disconnected.

I heard you the first time,
fucking bitch. Hang up.

-[disconnect beep]
-Hello?

-[dial tone]
-[redial button beeps]

[automated message] This customer is
not receiving calls at this time.

Please leave a message after the tone.

-Extra charges may apply.
-Hmm.

[disconnect beep]

Mm-hmm.

-Try texting.
-Okay.

-Also--
-Director Kim.

We should go. He's ignoring me.

Who? And go where?

Lee Yang-ho-nim, he… hung up on me twice,
and now he's not answering my calls.

-When was Lee Yang-ho released?
-Three months ago.

He seemed to be on his best behavior.
I met with him the other day.

-All right, give Jung-do his equipment.
-Yes, sir.

-I'll meet you at the parking lot.
-You got it.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[man 7] Come with me.
-Oh, sure.

[music intensifies]

-Put this armor on.
-Whoa.

It's heavy.

-So this vest can really stop a knife?
-It prevents slashing injuries.

But if the point is direct,
you'll probably bruise.

Your bodycam needs to be
turned on before you get started.

-Oh.
-Here's your Taser.

[elongated gasp]

I'm allowed to use one?

Director Kim has to give you the go-ahead.

-Cool.
-Put this in here.

How'd he end up in jail?

He raped a middle-school girl.

Whoa.

Do you think I could shock him a little?

Only if it's absolutely necessary.

Our priority is to keep watch
over these guys and… prevent trouble.

Ah, right.

[music fades]

What is it?
Did you see something, Jung-do-ssi?

Right there. 201.

It's probably there.

I've delivered to so many buildings
that I can roughly figure out the layout.

See that window?

No security grille.

But that window has one.

He removed it,
so it's easier for him to run away.

I bet if you knock on his door,

he'll probably jump down there,

and that's where I can pounce on him.

And what if he runs out the front door?

Then I'll meet you there.

Yeah?

[Sun-min exhales sharply]

[Sun-min] Hmm.

[tense music playing]

Wait a minute.

[woman whimpering]

[sighs]

[knock at door]

-[Sun-min] Yang-ho-kun.
-[banging on door]

-Open the door.
-It's nothing. Ignore it.

I know you're inside.

-[kissing]
-[woman whimpering]

[muffled whimpering]

[woman gasps]

-I know that you're in there.
-Goddamn it!

What the fuck does he want?!

[knocking on door]
Yang-ho-kun, I know you're--

Fuck!

-You son of a bitch!
-[gasps]

I told you to leave me alone.

-Please help!
-[Yang-ho] I'm trying to sleep!

-Once I open this…
-Open the door!

Why don't you get lost,
you stupid piece of shit?

[banging on door]

Open the door!

-[woman shrieks]
-What's going on in there? Hello?

-[door handle rattling]
-O… open the door!

-[grunts]
-Ahjussi, please help me!

[Sun-min grunts]

-Ah, shit.
-[woman] Please.

[music builds to crescendo and fades]

[chuckles]

[sighs] Fuck.

Whoa, man!

Wow.

Oh, Director Kim.

[sighs]

Lee Yang-ho-ssi, you're under arrest

for failing to comply with
electronic monitoring conditions

and for disobeying the guidance
of your probation officer.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law,

and you do have the right to an attorney.

He's trying to provoke you.
You need to calm down.

I'm not trying to provoke you,
you piece of shit. Don't hold back!

-Hey, shut your big mouth!
-Stop! Don't.

-[grunts]
-Calm down, please.

I won't repeat myself.

[Sun-min] Jung-do-ssi.

-I know. I'm sorry.
-Why are you sorry?

That was cool.

Thank you.

That was a long day, yeah?
Can I buy you dinner?

Oh. Uh…

I'm, uh, supposed to meet up
with my friends soon.

-Oh, some other time, then.
-Could you take us all out for a meal?

[whimsical music playing]

Oh, sure!

-Are you serious?
-Yes.

-Thank you.
-Oh man, it's no big deal. Come on.

CAST IRON KIMCHI AND PORK BELLY

[all] Hello.

Oh, yes. Hello. Hi.

I'm Writer K.
I've heard so much about you.

Yes, I'm Kim Sun-min.
It's so nice to meet you all.

-[Writer K] Nice to meet you.
-Hello, I'm Moisture.

-Thank you for inviting us all.
-[chuckles] Sure.

How did you get "Moisture"
as your nickname?

[Jung-do] His nose always looks wet.
Hence the nickname.

It does.

It's grease, or maybe it's sweat,
but nobody knows.

I'm pretty sure
it's half-sweat, half-grease.

-[Sun-min] I see!
-[all laughing]

-This is Earthworm.
-[gasps]

-"Earthworm"?
-Because I squirm when I'm stepped on.

-Like an earthworm.
-[chuckles]

He's too nice for his own good.

-He will never get angry at you.
-Oh!

-[chuckles]
-All right, I think It's time to eat.

-Yeah.
-Please, sit.

-Yes, thank you.
-Go ahead.

[sighs] What are you in the mood for?

We can start with the combination

of delectable minari
and flavorful samgyeopsal,

then segue into the spicy kimchi jeongol

before we wrap it up
with the delicious crispy bbokeumbap.

A perfectly balanced meal,
rich in healthy carbs, protein, and fat.

[all chuckle]

Yes, please, order all that.

-Thank you.
-No prob.

-He described it like a story.
-[all chuckle]

-Twenty servings?
-Yes.

And we'll get five servings
of kimchi jeongol.

Twenty-five in total?

Including the five servings
of the jeongol.

[Sun-min sighs]

Hand me your glass.

Oh, I don't have
the enzymes to break down alcohol.

Oh.

And I'm more fun sober than anyone wasted.

-[all chuckle]
-Okay. Here.

-This looks so good.
-Thank you.

It's so nice to meet you, Moisture-ssi.

-You too, Earthworm-ssi.
-Same.

-All right, shall we drink up?
-[all] Yes.

-All righty.
-[all] Cheers.

[Sun-min sighs]

I did some research on probation officers
while I was working on one of my scripts.

Oh, nice.

I know that it's a very stressful job
that involves many dangerous tasks.

-[sighs]
-Why did you decide to go into probation?

I was in a car accident when I was little.

Ah…

Our car wasn't even moving.

But someone suddenly came
and crashed into the back of our car.

The rear doors all caved in,

and I couldn't even move my legs
because they were completely stuck.

Whoa.

-[poignant music playing]
-And the engine caught on fire. Whoa.

I was only ten years old.

A ten-year-old had to
think about death in that moment.

"Whoa! This is how I die?"

I would've played video games nonstop
instead of studying

if I knew I'd die like this."

I couldn't stop thinking about
all my New Year's money

I had stashed in my drawer.
I was so upset about it!

[all laughing]

Anyway, um… [sniffles]

…some cops arrived to save us,

and they ripped the whole door off,
working to save me.

Oh…

I decided that I would become
a police officer,

to save people and pay forward
the help I had received that day.

-Mm.
-But I had an issue.

The growth plate in my leg
was damaged in the accident.

-Oh man.
-So my left leg is shorter than my right.

Because of that, I knew I wouldn't be able
to run around and catch criminals,

and… [inhales sharply]

…and then I wondered…
what would come second?

So then
I learned about probation officers.

Mm.

The fact that I could contribute
to reducing recidivism

got me deeply motivated to do this work.

Then once I got married
and became a father,

um, my job became more meaningful to me.

Why?

There were a lot
of sex offenses involving children

among the formerly incarcerated
that we monitor.

It's my dream

that we can have a world where
children are always protected and safe.

[sighs]

-[Writer K] Wow.
-Wow.

[all applaud]

[sizzling]

[gentle music playing]

Oh!

-[chef] Enjoy.
-Thank you.

All right. Let's eat!

Uh, we're wondering

if we might be able
to call you our hyung-nim.

[Writer K] Garlic.

But the thing is,
you have to pass a little test first.

This lettuce wrap is
filled with our loyalty,

our sincerity, and friendship.

And all that we need

is for you to eat this in one bite.

-Say ah!
-[all] Ah!

Ah!

[all] Ah!

[chanting] Hyung-nim,

ASSISTANT MANAGER YOON DONG-JU

[clears throat] Mm-hmm?

Director Kim, where are you right now?

What's going on?

One of the former inmates is MIA,
so we have to go track him down,

but Min Do-woong-ssi broke the rules
and is somewhere in Seorin-dong,

but when I call, he's not answering me.

Actually, I'm in Seorin-dong now.
I can go.

Um, what was it he did time for?

He served 20 years
for second-degree murder.

Released three months ago.

Do you know
anybody he has a grudge against out here?

[Dong-ju] That I haven't figured out yet,
I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it. I got it.

Hyung-nim, we can probably get there

How about one minute?

You guys stay in the car. You hear?

-[all] Yes.
-[Jung-do] We'll be back.

[tense music playing]

-That way?
-Yes.

[tablet buzzing]

-[Jung-do] What's happening?
-[groans] He's cut off the anklet.

How do we track him down?

-We go to the address.
-Okay.

Do! Here.

[Sun-min strains]

He cut it off with a knife.

Should we call the police?

No, he can't be far,
so let's catch him quickly.

Hyung, Moisture has a drone.
Why don't we try that?

-Think it would help?
-It's worth a shot.

[suspenseful music playing]

-Oh, here. You can follow it here.
-Oh.

Whoa!

This way. Can it go this way?

[Moisture] Yup.

[Sun-min] This must be him.

Where's he going?

I'll go after him, hyung.

-I'll tag along.
-No, no.

I'll run and get him. I'll be quick.

He's got a knife!

Don't you worry about that.

[hard rock music playing]

After all, it's my duty
as a martial arts officer

to protect my partner.

[slaps chest]

I'll be back.

[snickers]

Dumbass.

Put an earbud in.
This way, I'll give directions.

Oh, okay.

I'll be right back!

[Sun-min] Be careful.

[breathing heavily]

Go straight ahead. Keep going.

Make a left.
You passed it. You passed the alley.

Go back, back, back.

[panting]

-Hurry, faster.
-[wearily] Keep going?

-[groans]
-Yes, keep going.

Hey, Jung-do, I'm sorry.

-But can you go a bit faster?
-[groans]

[Sun-min] You're really close,
almost there.

A little faster and you'll make it
to him in no time. Go to the right.

[grunts]

On your right.

On my right? Right, where is he?

Where? Which right?

Do you see the two buildings
with rooftops on your right?

You'll see him past those buildings.

-Two rooftops? Where?
-You don't see them at all?

One, two. Okay.

[banging] You bastard!
Come out, you son of a bitch!

Come out!

Ji Hyeok-jun, die, die, die!

Come out and face me!

I'm gonna kill you! Come out!

Min Do-woong-ssi!

[music fades]

[breathing heavily]

What?

Hi.

[out of breath] I'm a mar…
martial arts officer.

And?

I'm here to finish it all off tonight.

[unsettling music playing]

Yeah, that's why I'm here.

Let's go back quietly.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[grunts]

Goddamn it!

[Do-woong straining]

[grunts in pain]

Jung-do, what's wrong? Jung-do-ya?

Are you all right?

[groans]

[groaning, whimpering]

[grunts]

-[Do-woong groans]
-[grunts] You can come now, hyung.

[sighs]

Coming now. I'll be right there.

[groans]

Ow, shit.

[Do-woong] Hey!

Leave or I'm gonna kill myself.

[uneasy music playing]

Hyung, I need your help.

What's going on?

Um, right now,
he's holding a knife to his throat.

Jung-do-ya, I need you to be my voice.

What?

Relay my words to him.

Leave!

Uh-huh.

Min Do-woong-ssi.

"Min Do-woong-ssi."

It seems like your day was really hard.

"It seems like your day was really hard."

Did you

get into a fight with a friend?

"Did you get into a fight with a friend?"

Late… lately,

I swear I'm trying really hard
to be a good guy lately. [crying]

[poignant music playing]

But that son of a bitch,

he kept making fun of me
in front of the others,

for wearing that damn ankle tag,

and… it's really unfair.

It makes me so angry
that I can't even sleep.

And I wanna kill him off,

and then I'll die!

Do-woong-nim.

"Do-woong-nim."

[whimpering]

"I understand you."

"Life was already so difficult."

And more piled on top of it all,

it really tested your limits.

"If you give up your life,

you'd be wasting
those twenty years you spent repenting."

-[Do-woong sobs]
-"Wouldn't that be unfair to you?"

[sobbing]

You might've slipped up
and needed a drink too.

I'll write a report that's light.

You'll only get a minor penalty.

"I promise, I'll do my best."

"Can I ask you to drop the knife?"

[sobbing]

You mustn't repeat the same mistake.

"You have to win at your life."

"Hang in there just a little longer."

"That day will come
when you can remove the anklet."

"Until that day arrives,
I promise I'll be here."

I mean that.

"I mean that."

[news chattering on TV]

-I'm home.
-Hey, you.

-How was work?
-Not too bad.

Well, my director…

He's really

kinda cool.

I'm glad.

-Go wash up. Let's eat these apples.
-All right.

Beginning in May 1998,

Kang Ki-jung has managed to elude
the police dragnet for four years.

During that time, he sexually assaulted
15 young girls under the age of 13.

Oh man, what a sick piece of work.

And given the fact

that he has committed sexual offenses
against these young children,

we can say that Kang Ki-jung has
a higher rate of recidivism upon release,

even when compared to other sex offenders.

We need a task force. Any ideas?

Three teams with a probation
and martial arts officer

on a triple-shift rotation schedule
to monitor Kang Ki-jung around the clock.

A triple shift?

Each of our probation officers

has to monitor
over twenty former inmates at the moment.

If we have to monitor Kang Ki-jung
on top of that,

we won't be able
to closely monitor the others properly.

I know that you're all
already working overtime.

The problem is that it's not that easy
to get a budget increase,

but I'll push harder for it.

[sighs]

[Sun-jung] Thank you, come again.

-Have a nice day.
-[entry bell jangles]

Emo.

Hey, long time no see!

How are you? [sighs]

I'm very good, of course.

[Jung-do chuckles]

Did you come in
for your root touch-up today?

Uh, no, no.

Hmm? Oh, then what?

I want a clean cut, emo.

I saw a suspicious guy on my way here.
Could I borrow you for a sec?

He touched a young server.

She looked uncomfortable,
and now he's on the move.

Shouldn't we go there just in case?

[inhales sharply]
It might end up being nothing.

-Let's try calling him to check.
-Right.

I think he's somewhere with no connection.

Where was he when you saw him last?

Uh, sorry for barging in.

Was this man here in this restaurant?

Uh-huh.

Which way did he go?

Left or right?

I'm sorry, but I don't know.

Oh, right.

He told me that today was his birthday
and invited me over to his place,

but I declined.

Okay.

-Thank you.
-Thanks for your time.

I'll go down here. You go there.

Uh-huh. Got it.

-Hey, Jung-do-ya!
-Yes?

Check shops where there's
only one woman working.

Okay, yeah.

[music swells]

If it gets too hot,
just let me know, okay?

I will.

Sun-jung-ssi dropped by the restaurant.
She said you saved her.

How is Sun-jung emo's face?

It looked a little bit swollen,
but she'll be okay.

-That's a relief.
-Try this.

[Jung-do] Mm-hmm. Ooh!

I'm not sure how it'll taste.

[blows]

Mmm, pretty good.

-It's okay?
-Yeah.

Appa,

when you were my age,

what made you happiest?

When I was your age…

I was my happiest when I was on stage.

Rehearsing with my friends,
sweating together,

spraying saliva on each other
while acting passionately.

All the hard work.

Seeing how the audience enjoyed themselves
watching my work brought me joy.

[sentimental music playing]

Even if you're doing things
to make yourself happy,

inspiring others is much better.

It's an incredible feeling

when the passionate energy
that's in your heart

can be connected and shared
inside someone else's heart too.

That's the best feeling.

Mm.

Mm.

Huh.

Mm!

The head office will send
two probation officers

for the task force
in charge of Kang Ki-jung.

And the Ministry of Economy and Finance
will increase budget

for two additional martial arts officers.

I asked for more
to help lighten our load a little,

but it was denied.

-[sighs]
-[woman] I'm sorry.

Fourteen out of fifteen sexual offenses
Kang Ki-jung committed

all took place immediately before
or after school hours.

Whoever monitors him
during the day is the most important.

I will take on the responsibility.

But

will you be all right with a double shift?
What about your kid?

[poignant music playing]

This is one way I can protect my child.

[door opens]

-Director.
-Hello.

-Chief.
-[Dong-ju] Hello.

Why don't you go ahead?

-See you later.
-Uh-huh.

About this job…

Yeah?

I wanna keep helping.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[chuckles]

-Seriously?
-Yes.

Jung-do-ya.

In ten days from now,

I'll be transferring to the task force
who'll be monitoring a serial rapist.

Ah. Uh-huh.

Would you like to be my partner?

Hyung, I'm honored you want me
on your team. Of course I'll follow you.

We are invincible together.

[both chuckling]

Kang Ki-jung,

a man who served a 20-year sentence
for sexually assaulting 15 children,

will be released today.

For the next ten years, he will wear

[unsettling music playing]

Kang Ki-jung-ssi,
you must never deliberately remove,

damage, or disable the ankle monitor

by jamming signals
or manipulating our data, and so on.

You will be under 24-hour surveillance
from our probation officers

following your release, and we may track
your movements whenever we decide.

Is that understood?

Yes.

Put your foot up,
whichever one you prefer.

[grunts]

[sighs] You may now put your shoes on
and stand up.

You can use this phone
until you have the means to buy one.

[door buzzing]

-[walkie-talkie beeping]
-We're leaving now.

Kang Ki-jung, sex-offender of children,
will soon return to society

upon completing his 20-year sentence.

Many residents and members of civic groups
have been waiting in front of his house

since the early hours of the morning.
The police are also on the scene,

preparing to prevent
any altercations that may take place.

[man 1] Send Kang Ki-jung to Jeju Island!

[woman 1] Don't let that monster
in our neighborhood!

This is dangerous. Please stay calm.
Let us pass through. Move to the side.

[woman 2] Give him the death penalty!

[man 2] Move to a different country!

[officer 2] Please move back!

[officer 3] Please stay calm.
Get out of the way.

-[officer 1] It's dangerous. Make way.
-[woman 3] Asshole!

[man 3] Give Kang Ki-jung
the death penalty!

[protesters yelling furiously]

Are we paying taxes so rapists like him
can get a comfortable ride home?

Fuck that!

[chanting] Death penalty!
Death penalty! Death penalty!

Death penalty!
Death penalty! Death penalty!

Stay back, stay back!

What are you--
You guys see this? What the hell?

I'm not the criminal! Let me go!

-[tense music playing]
-[protesters yelling furiously]

[chanting] Death penalty!
Death penalty! Death penalty!

Death penalty! Death-- Get off me!

Don't let him go!

-You fucking seeing this?!
-[man 4] What's that guy doing?!

[chanting protester] Move!
Get out of my way!

Please move back. Everyone, back.

[indistinct chatter, yelling]

Kang Ki-jung-ssi, is there anything
you'd like to say to the victims?

-Kang Ki-jung-ssi! Kang Ki-jung-ssi!
-Move it. Walk faster.

[journalist] Answer me. Please answer
the question, Kang Ki-jung-ssi!

[officer 4] What are you looking at?

[music intensifies]

[officer 5] Keep it moving.

-[officer 4] Get him inside.
-[officer 5] Come on.

[music fades]

[muffled furious yelling]

[officer 1] This used to be
a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

[officer 2] I know.

-[officer 1] All clear?
-[officer 2] Yes, I think so.

Hey, come on.

-Let's patrol this block one last time.
-Yeah, let's do it.

[uneasy music playing]

-Did you see him earlier?
-He's hard to miss.

-And his face is intimidating.
-It is.

All the residents in this area
must be terrified with him moving in.

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

[door mechanism beeping]

What happened to you?!

You beefed up.

It helped me with my stress.

[chuckles]

Here, put this on. It's a cool jacket.

-Oh.
-[chuckles]

Let's go smoke on the roof.

Yeah, right.

Hey, I've been wearing this
for three years.

They can't detect your movements
going up or down in the same building.

You can go wherever you want
if it's under ten meters.

The GPS… is kind of a joke in accuracy.

[chuckles]

[uneasy music playing]

-[Ki-jung coughing, grunts]
-[chuckling]

-[Kang Ki-jung] Man.
-Have you thought about it?

About the thing I wrote in my letter.

Yeah, let's do it.

[chuckling]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[Jung-do] He's on the move.

-Where's he going?
-Hyung, would it be okay if I go tail him?

-Right now?
-Yeah.

I think if we wait around,
we'll… end up behind.

[intriguing music playing]

I want you to always be careful.
Always keep your earphone in.

I'll be monitoring.

Okay.

I can't see him yet, hyung.

Kang Ki-jung hasn't stopped anywhere.
He's still walking.

Let me know when you spot him.

I will.

There he is.

-Could you turn right here, please?
-[driver] Sure.

Slow down. Please slow down
and drive slowly.

Hyung, Kang Ki-jung is
entering a building.

-I'm getting out.
-Okay, okay. Just be careful.

I will. Thank you.

[driver] Uh-huh.

[music intensifies]

I have no idea which way he went.

Can you tell me what you spot around you?

From the second to the fifth floors,
it's all kids' academies.

[uneasy music playing]

It's too early.
The kids will still be in school.

I don't think he went up.

I'll check underground.

[intriguing music playing]

[panting]

-I'll get straight to the point.
-[uneasy music playing]

I distribute a very specific type
of video content.

You'll be creating videos with children,

and I'll take care of all the distribution
on the dark web.

I'll pay you ten million won
per ten-minute video.

Byung-soon-ssi will help you
record and edit the videos.

And as for the children,

we'll procure them for you.

You have absolutely

nothing to lose.

Sounds good to me.

[suspenseful music playing]

[man 2] Someone's here.

[man 1] Who's that?

He must've followed me
because of the ankle monitor.

He can't see inside the car,
so don't move.

Jung-do-ya, you still okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm still looking.

Five times five is 25.

All good.

I think that prick saw our license plate.

You'll take care of him, right?

I'll handle him quietly.

What's up? You find anything?

[panting]

I can't find him. The parking lot is huge.
What should we do?

Jung-do-ya, I'll call Kang Ki-jung.

I'll put it on speaker,
so listen carefully.

Got it, yeah.

Uh, it took you quite a while
to answer the phone.

Oh, sorry.

I'm not used to carrying one around,
so I didn't know you were calling.

Oh, I see.

Could you please tell me where you are?

Uh…

Of course. I just stepped out
to have some gimbap.

Ah, gimbap, huh?

I'll go there now. Buy me some time.

[music intensifies]

Oh, well, um, Kang Ki-jung-ssi,

about your anklet.
If it's uncomfortable at all for you,

we can adjust the fit for you, no problem.

Would you like to make any adjustments?

No, it fits fine.

Also, as a service,
we can provide support and resources

to help with your job search.

What kind of job
do you think you might be looking for?

I'm good on jobs.

[panting]

[music swells, subsides]

He's sitting in the gimbap place.

Hmm, well, all right.

Enjoy your meal, and, uh, from now on,

please make sure
you answer your phone a little faster.

Sorry about that.

I appreciate the call.

Take care.

I checked on my way back.

There are a lot of gimbap places
near Kang Ki-jung's house.

-The wheels in his head must be spinning.
-Yeah.

It makes me anxious.

We can't tail him
every single time he leaves the house.

I know, but I'm gonna try my best.

I mean it.

[knocking at door]

-Director Kim.
-Oh, Min-jo-ya!

-You're here!
-Hello.

-[Jung-do] There he is.

And I hear you're working with us
from here on out.

Oh. Uh, yes. [chuckles softly]

Ah. Here.

What's this?

It's for you. I figured you'd need it
while you're working.

That's so nice.

-Can I open it?
-It's a pair of tactical gloves.

Wow. This is awesome.

-[both chuckle]
-They look nice.

-I'll use them well. Thank you.

otherwise your anklet will give it away.

Shouldn't we seal the door
and the windows so no sound escapes?

[chuckles] Don't you worry about that.

All righty. We've found our actress,
and here's your signing bonus.

Just don't make any mistakes tomorrow.

-Ah, shit!

Let's go. Come on!

-We have to go!
-Let me go!

Shit! There's no time for this!

-[dramatic music playing]
-It's over there. Right there.

Shit.

[roars]

[grunts in pain]

Freeze, Kang Ki-jung.
Move, and I'll fire. Stay where you are!

[Taser crackling]

[roars]

If you move, I'll shoot you!

[music fades]

[muffled whimpering]

-[walkie-talkie beeping]
-Patrol 15.

An unidentified man and officer are hurt.

Kang Ki-jung… Kang Ki-jung's on the run.
Requesting backup immediately.

Sir, are you all right?

Which division are you from?

Martial arts officer.

[breathing shakily]

[footsteps approaching]

Hello, sir.

I called you.
I'm Supervisor Han Dong-hoon.

Oh, hello.

-[somber music playing]
-What happened to my son?

He was stabbed at the scene of the crime.

Sorry? S… stabbed? W… what do you mean?

[woman] We apologize.

Jung-do-ya. Jung--

Jung-do-ya.

[sighs]

[sobs]

You said it was only minor.

You call stabbing a minor injury?!

[Dong-hoon] My apologies.

I didn't want you to worry
before you got here,

so I tried to avoid too many details.

Why did you have my son respond to
someone who was swinging a knife?!

We apologize.

Appa.

Jung-do-ya.

Are you okay?

Has Kang Ki-jung been captured?

He was able to remove the monitor,
but the police are tracking him down.

They're on the move now,
so we'll get him soon.

[inhales] What about the girl?

Resting at home.

How's…

how's Director Kim?

Director Kim's neck was broken,
and… he's undergoing surgery.

But doesn't breaking his neck mean

that he'll be paralyzed?

Thankfully, the injury didn't damage
any nerves, so he'll be all right.

It'll take him a while to recover though.

Jung-do-ssi.

Cho Min-jo's been

declared brain-dead.

The police have launched an investigation.

He suffered

from cardiac arrest.

Supervisor Cho

had signed consent for organ donation,

and his family

would like to respect his decision.

[sniffles]

[sobbing]

[tender music playing]

[sobbing softly]

This wraps up
the Brave Citizen Award Ceremony.

Thank you all for joining us today.

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me.

You're… Min-ju's savior.

Ah, uh…

Right, sorry, I'm her emo.

Ah.

Hello.

I apologize for not coming sooner.

Oh, no. No worries.

I wanted to, uh,

to thank you
for saving Min-ju's life the other day.

Oh.

Uh…

Thank you.

Oh, and one more thing.

This is from Min-ju.

She asked me to give you this.

Uh…

HELLO, UNCLE
I'M MIN-JU, THE GIRL YOU SAVED

BEFORE YOU SHOWED UP, I WAS REALLY SCARED

I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE MY PARENTS AGAIN

BUT THANKS TO YOU, I COULD SEE THEM AGAIN

YOU EVEN GOT HURT SAVING ME
THANK YOU

Is Min-ju doing all right now?

[sighs]

She's still too scared
to leave the house for any reason.

She relives what happened in her dreams.

[sniffles] Even so,

when I talk about you with her,

she just perks right up.

She's staying strong.

I came by to thank you for saving her.

I can't thank you enough.

Many people are saying that the punishment

for serial rapist Kang Ki-jung
was far too light.

What's your take on it, Professor Kim?

It is true that our penalties
for sex offenders

are considerably lighter when compared
to those of other countries.

-[anchor] Right.
-[Prof. Kim] A few years ago, attempts…

-[Earthworm] Hi!
-[Moisture] You're here!

-[Moisture] Hey, dude. Have some pizza.
-I'm back.

No, I'm not hungry.

…concerned that it might lead
to over-punishment.

Mm-hmm.

I think we can all agree
that sexual assault,

especially sex crimes against children,

should never be tolerated
or forgiven, no matter what.

Hyung.

You know how I rescued that little girl?
I met her emo today.

She's always home,
still too scared to go out.

The thing is, she did nothing wrong.

Kang Ki-jung sexually harmed children

while evading the police dragnet
for over four years.

He won't be easily caught.

I'm on your side.

But… you're still recovering.

You can't get hurt again.

Let the police handle it.

Hey, guys.

Shouldn't we still try to do
what we can to help out?

That's what I was thinking

the entire time
you were having that conversation.

Mmm.

Even the police are
struggling to track him down.

Would we get in their way though?

That's why we should help,
not hinder them.

Sometimes, it's ordinary people
who catch the criminals.

-[inspirational music playing]
-I saw a car while tailing Kang Ki-jung.

But the windows were so tinted
that I couldn't get a good look.

The fact I couldn't see inside
keeps bothering me.

What was the car's make and plate number?

Range Rover, 100-TA-5525.

"100-TA-5525."

All right, I'll go ask my hyung.

Okay.

I can go home next week,
so get me some equipment, guys.

Send a group text of what you need.

Okay.

VEHICLE SEARCH
LICENSE PLATE NUMBER

-Will this fit Diarrhea?
-Yeah.

VEHICLE OWNER SEARCH

KIM MIN-WOOK

VEHICLE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE

[beeping]

1.1 million won.

Plug this in,

and I can control it remotely.

Nice.

-I'll be able to do that. No problem.
-Can you let me up?

-Oh, it's open.
-We'll make a great team.

I'll talk to you soon.

[suspenseful music playing]

FISH SAUCE

Is this fish sauce?

It'll be useful.

All right.

Hey, hey. You're sure you can open it?

YouTube had a tutorial.

-Okay.
-Mm.

-Oh shit!
-What the hell?

-What was that?
-What?

I don't know.

I'll try again.

[beeping]

-Ooh! Oh, oh.
-What's that sound? What's that?

[beeping continues]

Hey, we better leave.

Hurry up. Let's go.

What the hell?
What the fuck is my door doing?

Stop it.

[beeping continues]

Shit.

[muffled murmuring]

BRO

Yeah, got it.

Hey, I got it.

MY LITTLE BRO

I see a shit ton of files.

[unsettling music playing]

20130924_F_LONG HAIR

Shit! What the hell's going on?

This guy's computer has
a bunch of videos of kids that--

Damn it.

Hey, guys.

This bastard has a terabyte
of child exploitation videos.

[Min-wook grunts]

Hand over the Taser.

-Now!
-Uh, here.

Hey, J… Jung-do-ya.

[muffled coughing]

[coughing]

You had Kang Ki-jung
make the video, didn't you?

[laughs]

Where is he?

Use it.

You don't think I will?

Do it. [laughs]

-Fucking bastard. Fucker!
-Jung-do-ya! Don't.

-Let go.
-No way.

-Right now!
-You need to calm down, Jung-do-ya.

Don't do this.

-Let me go.
-Please stop.

-Let go!
-Calm down, please!

[Min-wook screaming in agony]

-[screaming]
-Shut up and calm down.

[muffled screaming]

Dude, I can't believe
you actually used it.

[Writer K] I think blood's coming out
of his eye. What if he goes blind?

-[sighs] I told you to hold back, dude.
-Oh man.

[muffled screaming]

[Earthworm] Just a sec.

-Look at your eye.
-[muffled angry grunt]

You could go blind if you don't
go to the hospital right away.

Tell us where Kang Ki-jung is,
and I'll call you an ambulance.

[Min-wook grunts]

Please nod if you're going to tell us.

Help me sit him up.

-[Min-wook coughing]
-Now tell us.

[grunts]

I have… [grunts]

…a debit card
with a borrowed-name account I opened.

Kang Ki-jung's using it.

[intriguing music playing]

On my phone, there are text messages
that tell you where he used the card.

About an hour ago…

another text popped up.

[panting] I bet you'll find him
if you go there.

CHINESE PAVILION

I told you everything, so…

Ugh, just get me to the hospital now!

Is there another video Kang Ki-jung filmed
in the past four weeks?

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[roars] Oh yeah!

[uneasy music playing]

There is?

[laughing]

[Moisture] Hey, calm down! Seriously!

-[Earthworm] Hey, stop.
-You piece of--

-Get off me.
-[Moisture] Don't do it! Stop!

[Earthworm] Hey, hey!

-[Moisture] Stop!
-[Writer K] Calm down.

[phone ringing]

112. What's your emergency?

[Moisture] A man's been making
pornographic videos of minors.

-Could you come get him?
-Where are you?

[Writer K] See all the red circles?

These are the places Kang Ki-jung used
Kim Min-wook's card in the past two weeks.

And each one is
surrounding this cluster of motels.

In my opinion,
he's probably in this area now.

All right.

You brought your drone, right?

-Yeah, in the car.
-Okay.

Listen up, guys.

Don't get hurt.

Also,

sorry I got mad at you.

Don't worry about it. We get it.

Not gonna lie, I was scared.

[all laughing]

Winner Winner…

[all] Chicken Dinner!

[door mechanism beeping]

Oh, it's cold.

Huh?

[door beeps]

Where you headed?

Huh?

Not allowed. Nothing dangerous.

-Appa…
-Hey!

You were stabbed.

You could've died
if the knife had gone in any deeper!

[Jung-do sighs]

Hey, guys, go inside for a sec.

-Huh?
-[Earthworm] Oh, okay.

Uh, yeah, take your time.

[poignant music playing]

Three months ago…

I'd never heard of
an electronic ankle tag, you know?

But now I know it all.

Maybe too much.

[chuckles]

I don't wanna forget what I've learned.

Let the police handle it.

You don't need to be involved anymore.

[inhales deeply]

You know,

that young girl I saved that day…

can't even leave the house
because she's terrified.

She's only ten.

Ten years old.

She's too young and was so scarred
that she shut herself off from the world.

You know what else I found out today?

That evil bastard hurt
another child after his release.

The police do their job.

I'm sure they're all working very hard.

I want to do everything in my power.

No regrets.

I need to do the best
that I possibly can for that little girl.

So please, for God's sake, let me go.

I know I'll be able to catch that bastard.

Even as we speak,

another ten-year-old girl
could be out there,

scared and shivering,
waiting for me to help out.

[sighs]

I wouldn't care if I didn't know.

But how can I do nothing
when I know everything?

I won't get hurt again,
so don't worry about it.

I'm confident I'll get him, appa.

Wish me luck, won't you?

See you later.

[Jung-do] Let's go.

[Writer K] Okay.

Be careful, all right?

I will!

[upbeat music playing]

[door beeps]

[unfastens gloves]

[beeping]

Ready.

VOICE CALL

I've started a group call.

If anything happens,
let me know right away.

And do not step in. Got it?

Let's go.

[drone buzzing]

Earthworm, you start from here
and go straight.

Got it.

Hello?

You go that way. I'll go this way.

-Okay, be careful.
-Yeah.

-Sorry to bother you.
-Yes?

Have you possibly seen this man
at your motel recently?

No, I've never seen him before.

Have you seen this man, by any chance?

No, I've never seen him before.

Excuse me, ma'am,
but have you seen this man?

I've never seen that man.

Could you please look again?

I… don't know.

Thank you.

-He's definitely not one of our guests.
-Sorry to bother you. Thank you anyway.

[Earthworm] Hey, guys,
I'm in front of Daewon Inn right now.

It's at the end of the alley
where we started.

There's Chinese takeout containers
piled up out front

and a bunch of men's shoes inside.
Come meet me here.

Okay.

Hey, over here.

-Over there.
-Where?

[ominous music playing]

Hey.

I saved your life in jail.
Don't tell me you forgot.

I'm sick of hearing that.

How much longer
you gonna guilt trip us with that?

Ki-jung-a!

Let's open the window.

[Ki-jung] Yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

You guys go wait.

-I'll handle the rest.
-Be careful.

[Writer K] Call if you need backup.

-Good luck.
-You got this.

Hmm.

[chuckles softly]

-[music fades]
-Kang Ki-jung, you little shit. Come out!

[scoffs]

-What's going on?
-Oh, I'm sorry about that.

-It's dangerous. Please go back in.
-Oh, okay.

Who are you, motherfucker?

[ominous music playing]

I will crack your skull open,
you fucking prick.

[exhales sharply]

That son of a bitch… Hey!

[footsteps approaching]

[dramatic music playing]

That dickhead. Why, you--

Fuck!

Ow, ow! He threw gochujang!
It's burning my eyes!

Fuck.

-Come here!
-You have a death wish or what?!

-[bone crunches]
-[screaming] My hand!

[man 1] Hey, asshole. Come here!

[laughing]

Oh!

-[grunts]
-Hey, you fucking piece of shit!

[yells angrily]

[laughing]

[knife scraping]

[man 1 straining]

Huh?

Hmm!

What the hell?

[grunting]

[man 2 yelling furiously]

Moisture!

I'll follow him.

[buzzing]

[screams in pain]

-Hey, asshole, stay over there!
-Don't let him go inside!

[buzzing]

[men yelling angrily]

-[man 3] Son of a--
-[man 4 yelling angrily]

[yelling furiously]

[music subsides]

Argh! It stings! It stings!

[music resumes]

[panting]

You little…

[screams in pain]

[strains]

Fuck, not gochujang!

[grunts]

I'm saved. It's only doenjang.

[man 1 groaning]

Fuck off, you asshole.

[grunts]

[man 2 groaning]

Moisture, which way?

To your right!

Okay.

[Moisture] Make a left.

Now turn right.

He spotted us.

Did he know we were following?

Yeah, I guess so.

[footsteps rapidly approaching]

[music fades]

He scared the shit out of me.

[unsettling music playing]

[exhales sharply]

[dramatic music playing]

-[Jung-do yells angrily]
-[groans]

Ha!

[panting]

[yells furiously]

[grunting]

-[yells in pain]
-[Ki-jung groaning]

-Fuck.
-[music intensifies]

[Jung-do] Shit.

You're dead.

[Ki-jung] Die!

Bring it on. Come on!

Let's go, big guy.

[yells furiously]

[exhaling rapidly]

[screaming in pain]

[screaming in pain]

[yells angrily]

[straining]

[screaming in pain]

[both groaning]

[yells furiously]

How do we help him? Shit!

[yells furiously]

[yells furiously]

[Ki-jung] Hey!

[screams in pain]

[Ki-jung wails]

-Oh, nice!
-Yeah!

[screaming in pain]

[grunting]

[action music playing]

Get up.

[yells ferociously]

[screams in agony]

You little…

[screams in pain]

[screaming in agony]

[screams in pain]

[panting]

[yells furiously]

[music fades]

[panting]

[pensive music playing]

-[handcuffs closing]
-You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can…

can and will be used against you
in a court of law.

SILENT, AGAINST YOU, ATTORNEY

And you also have
the right to an attorney.

[chuckles softly]

[siren approaching]

Wow.

"I present this award to you
for your contribution

through all your good deeds

and exemplary service to others."

"January 15, 2024,

President of the Republic of Korea."

-Here.
-Oh.

-[applause]
-Thank you.

[gentle music playing]

You saved lives.

You're a very brave man.

-Thank you very much.
-[applause]

[man] It is now time

for the president to take pictures
with the award recipients.

[chuckles softly]

[laughs quietly]

You did good.

[camera clicks]

[camera clicks]

Oh, oh.

One moment, please.

Min-ju-ya.

Min-ju-ya.

[Jung-do gasps]

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay now.

Glad to hear it. That's great.

You're my hero.

[chuckles softly]

You're a brave girl.
