Seoul Busters

Episode 6

Hey, you.

Where do you think you're going?

Who are you guys?

You guys obviously don't work here.

Are you the ones with a tip?

We don't know the details.

We were just asked to teach you a lesson,

so you just get ready to learn.

I'm so scared. You're going to teach me a lesson?

Yeah. You should've lived a better life.

And you should've been nicer to others--

Nam Junghyun! I know you're here, you bastard!

Look, let's not drag this out.

Let's see here. If I land two blows each…

One, two, three, four…

Man, that's going to take forever.

Two each is too many, isn't it?

I'll just do one blow each. Be grateful for what you get.

That should be plenty.

What are you babbling about? Are you done talking now?

Here I go.

Bring it on. Bring it on.

Damn it.

Uh…

Wait! You already punched me.

- Are you sure? - Yes. I can't breathe.

Blame your ski mask.

Here's another blow.

Hey, answer me honestly.

- Where's Nam Junghyun? - He's over there.

- Hold this for me. - Okay.

Jeez.

There you are.

Come here, you bastard.

Come here.

Shit! That hurts!

Watch your language!

It hurts so damn much!

It really hurts.

Scumbags like you who pick on people weaker than you

need a good beating.

I'm going to smack some sense into you today, so be prepared.

Let go of me first…

- Hold on. Hey, answer my phone. - Sorry?

- My phone's ringing! - Yes, sir.

-Hold, please. -Who is it?

It's Taesung.

Hello? Yeah. What?

I'm busy right now. Why?

Hey, hold this guy for me.

- Me? - I said hold him!

So what's the matter?

- What the hell are you doing? - Well…

Let go! What's the deal with you?

Hold him tight.

- No, don't. - Tight?

No, I wasn't talking to you.

Right now? Okay, I'll be right there.

- Let's go. - Are we leaving?

- Yes. Hey, I'm on my way. - Don't resist.

Toy Paradise

Toy Paradise

Why are we here?

Hey. Wait in the car for a minute.

Okay.

Don't touch anything or do anything.

Understood.

Welcome.

Hello.

I'm looking for this.

Those are out of production. You won't find them anywhere.

Is there any way I could find one?

I promised my daughter I'd get it for her birthday.

There's no way.

Please, sir, help me out.

There's nothing I can do even if you beg.

Could you at least check in your storage?

I know my inventory, and we're out.

How can I sell them when I don't have any?

"T-Rex Extinct"

Please, just this once, sir.

Seoul Busters

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the case,

but it's been bothering me.

What is it? Spit it out.

Coach Yoon asked me to lend him some money right before the fire.

-Money? -Around 50 million won.

It seems like he invested in crypto

and ended up taking out loans.

You mean things like Bitcoin?

You know how he always talks about life being about one shot?

He tried to get me involved too.

You could look for evidence of where he invested.

One shot, my foot.

Shit Well Daycare Center

Songwon Police Station has moved to a temporary location

Mmm.

Right before the fire,

he paid three months' worth of overdue insurance at once

to stop it from being canceled.

Was he really after the insurance money?

Mm. That doesn't add up.

Even if he received 300 million won,

after all the expenses, he'd end up with 100 million won.

Burning down his restaurant for that?

You're right. It wouldn't be worth it.

Watch your step.

Sorry about that. Enjoy, everyone.

How can you eat that? You'll get sick.

You eat food off the floor, and you hardly wash up.

All the food you leave uneaten in your life

catches up with you after you die.

Also, it's okay if you pick it up within five seconds.

- I've heard of the five-second rule too. - Right?

Supposedly, bacteria can't transfer that fast.

Is that some kind of rule for beggars? Huh?

Do we really need to worry about how quickly we pick up food?

Bacteria move around 70 times slower than mollusks like snails,

- so there's some science to it. - Mm.

Still, food that's fallen on the floor is dirty.

Nothing's dirtier than our hands.

So dirty.

How was Mr. Yoon's business doing?

It was worse than we initially thought.

The YouTube video had gotten him some new customers,

but he'd been struggling the whole time.

I see. Why isn't this mixed yet?

-Do you need help? -No, I'm fine.

Gosh, this is…

How's Hyojoo doing? Is she okay?

She's gotten a lot better.

She still can't remember anything about the fire though.

Don't worry. Everything will be okay.

I hope so.

Being with you brings back memories.

Boxing was tough,

but I miss how carefree we were back then.

-Don't you agree? -I don't even remember those days.

Take this.

And say hi to Hyojoo for me.

Use this for the hospital bill.

Come in.

I never noticed that before.

Here you go.

What's this?

It seems like Minsoo was into crypto.

Crypto?

I don't know much about that field,

but I put together everything I found out.

It seems like he made a risky investment.

I thought it might help.

Or maybe not.

I'll be off.

Detective Moo.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Korean National Police Agency

So this was your urgent business?

Here's the information about Gold Coin.

Thank you.

They claim their currency's value is backed by gold.

But it seems more like an elaborate Ponzi scheme to me.

Isn't this enough evidence to take action?

What are you waiting for?

They haven't given up all hope yet.

I mean the investors.

The upcoming IPO is expected to increase the cryptocurrency's value by 20 times.

The investors are staking everything on it.

If we act rashly,

it could backfire on us.

You know it's Doona's birthday tomorrow, right?

Don't forget to get her a present.

The kids are looking forward to you keeping your promise.

For crying out loud.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Dahye, Mommy's here. - Hi, sweetie.

There's a crazy man on the slide.

A crazy man!

Donggoo!

-Where's your mom? -She's busy today.

What are you doing here?

I've been waiting for you.

Me?

Is the T-Rex still with you?

Do you mean this?

Yes, that…

Oh!

Can you please give me that?

I really need it.

I'll buy you another toy instead.

No way.

Don't be so stubborn, Donggoo.

- I'm begging you. - Mm…

I don't want to.

Hey, I found it first, but you snatched it away.

-Are you angry with me? -What?

Of course not.

I'm not angry with you at all.

I'm just asking you for a favor.

Mm…

- I don't want to. - Hey, Donggoo!

Hmm?

You're obviously angry with me.

I was just saying your name.

Please help me out just once.

I'll be really good to you.

So please, just this once.

Please give it a second thought.

Should I go down on my knees? Will that change your mind?

Can you mimic a T-Rex?

Mimic a T-Rex?

If you do a good job, I'll reconsider.

Uh…

Don't you think that's too much?

I'm a grown-up.

Forget it then.

No, wait! Give me just a second.

I'll do it. I'll give it a try, okay?

What are you doing?

That was terrible. Forget it.

Wait. Just a second.

Let me try again. I'll give it another try.

One more time.

What is he doing?

Doona, give me courage.

I'll get you your birthday present no matter what.

I'm counting on you, Daddy.

Is he a real T-Rex?

He's crazy!

Donggoo.

Can I have that T-Rex now?

Do me a favor first.

-What favor? -Follow me.

What?

Better Tomorrow Target Shooting

God of Marksmanship

You have to hit all ten targets to win the Sting Man figurine.

1st Prize STING MAN

No one's won it yet.

Can you win that for me?

Donggoo.

I think these rifles aren't even zeroed.

Keep your promise.

Sir, do you have a handgun?

Here you go.

Thank you. I'll borrow it for a second.

No way.

Give me Sting Man.

Of course.

Here you go.

Give me the T-Rex now, Donggoo.

You're amazing.

Donggoo.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks, Donggoo.

Songwon Police Station has moved to a temporary location

Even if Mr. Yoon invested in crypto,

he's only suffered losses.

Is this really related to the case?

And the victim is his daughter.

Where have you been?

I had a bad headache.

But I'm fine now.

That's a relief.

Take a seat.

-I solved it. -What?

I think I know who the culprit is.

-Who is it? -I think the culprit is…

The culprit is…

The culprit is…

Come on.

The culprit is Mr. Yoon's wife.

-That's so random. -It's not at all.

She's been severely depressed.

So when she found out about their financial loss,

she set the restaurant on fire.

Depression can lead to impulsive behavior.

Why would she go that far?

Because she was severely depressed.

Her daughter was inside the restaurant.

She was severely depressed.

She's unwell, and she would've had to climb down the wall!

She was severely…

…depressed.

I'm getting depressed.

I'm sorry, sir.

Wait, Tansik.

Sit in that chair and think some more.

Okay.

You can go back to your seat.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing, Captain?

I'm trying to think.

It's a thinking chair, after all.

Mm…

What are you doing here?

-Thank you. -Sure.

Nice view of the sunset, isn't it?

Oof.

If this weren't a daycare, it'd be a great scenic viewpoint.

I found some footage of the restaurant at the time of the fire.

It matches Jiwoong's statement.

The resolution isn't great,

but I put a copy on your desk for your review.

-Good work. -Thank you.

Do you invest in crypto too?

No, it's not my thing.

Hmm.

All my friends were into it for a bit.

You know how quickly news spreads about who made how much, right?

But no one ever talks about losing money.

What about you? Do you invest in crypto?

I used to think crypto could turn my life around,

but I couldn't scrape together any money to invest.

Hmm.

What was that crypto called?

Everyone was saying it'd shoot up tenfold.

But who cares? I don't have two nickels to rub together.

This coffee's way too bitter.

I used to think crypto could turn my life around.

Everyone was saying it'd shoot up tenfold.

But who cares? I don't have two nickels to rub together.

They haven't given up all hope yet.

I mean the investors.

What if 100 million won isn't just 100 million?

Are you here alone?

Yes.

Can we talk for a minute?

Sorry?

About what?

How's boxing going?

Is it fun?

I know nothing about boxing.

Uh, I quite like it.

It takes my mind off things.

Mm.

I see.

You were on your way to the gym when you saw the fire, right?

What?

Uh, yes.

You made a report right away,

and it was at 4:27 a.m., correct?

There's a fire.

I think so.

Hyojoo! Hyojoo!

Stay with me, Hyojoo.

- Hyojoo! - Then you carried Hyojoo out.

You went into the restaurant and carried Hyojoo out

within two minutes of seeing the fire.

How did you know Hyojoo was lying unconscious inside?

-What? -The restaurant was filled with smoke,

and no one would've known Hyojoo was there.

And you couldn't have seen her

lying in the kitchen from the outside.

You better tell the truth now.

Why did you set the restaurant on fire?

What did he say?

He's remaining silent.

May I try talking to him, sir?

I tend to get along with millennials.

-He's Gen Z. -What?

He's Gen Z, not a millennial.

Since when did that become a thing?

It's been a while.

It means "Generation Z."

Detective Seo, you go in.

Me?

Drink some.

Just be honest.

That's all there is to it.

Hmm.

I know you were just trying to help Mr. Yoon

because you felt indebted to him.

Am I right?

I heard Mr. Yoon has been helping you out a lot.

If you really want to help him,

you should tell the truth.

Things got pretty out of hand, didn't they?

How did you first meet Mr. Yoon?

I met him at the gym.

He used to coach my coach.

Focus! Focus!

Come have some chicken!

Let's have some chicken.

Jiwoong.

I live alone with my grandma.

When I got in trouble at school,

Mr. Yoon stepped in.

It's because of his upbringing.

It's not like that, ma'am.

- He's a good kid. - Are you defending him?

Look what he's done!

You've fooled around long enough.

From now on, focus on boxing.

But I'm not talented.

I have a glass jaw and small fists.

You can still be a boxer even if you have a glass jaw.

Just don't get hit.

Besides, boxing isn't just about fists.

It's about using your eyes.

And from what I can see, you have sharp eyes.

He would even take my grandma to the hospital

in the middle of the night,

send me money every now and then,

and give me private boxing lessons.

But lately,

he seemed pretty down.

I asked him what was wrong

and said I'd help him in any way I could.

At first, he said everything was fine and I should focus on boxing.

But a few days before the fire…

he came over, completely drunk.

This is for your grandma.

She loves tangerines, right?

She does. Thank you.

I heard the national team selection matches are scheduled.

Yes, they're on the 17th of next month.

That's coming up fast.

- Make sure to stay in shape. - I will.

I'll get going.

- Is there something wrong, sir? - What?

No, nothing's wrong.

Please let me know if I can be of any help. I'll do anything.

Forget it.

I'm off.

Jiwoong.

I actually have a favor to ask.

So that favor was…

He said he was in a tight spot,

and this was the only solution.

He said all I had to do

was set fire to the pile of fry bits next to the fryer.

Hey.

What are you doing?

-What the hell are you doing? -It's not what you think it is.

Stay right there.

- I can explain everything. - Give me my phone back.

-Please. I can explain! -Give me that!

Please!

Please hear me out!

Give me my phone!

- Please let me explain! - Let go!

Please, Hyojoo!

Hey, you!

I couldn't think straight.

If Hyojoo had called the police…

and I'd been arrested,

all my hard work would've gone down the drain.

But then the restaurant caught fire.

I should've told the truth…

but I didn't have the courage.

Mr. Yoon said no one would find out as long as I kept quiet.

Detective.

I…

I don't care if I go to prison,

but what will happen to my grandma?

Who will take care of my grandma?

Aren't you bored?

Should I get your laptop from home?

Yes.

Okay, I'll bring it tomorrow.

Dad.

Yes? Do you need something else?

I saw Jiwoong at the restaurant that day.

I remember everything that happened.

I just pretended I didn't.

The fire…

You have something to do with it, don't you?

Jiwoong said something strange.

He said he could explain everything.

I suspected…

you were involved…

so I played dumb.

As long as we keep quiet,

things will blow over.

So don't say anything.

You need to stay strong.

- Hey. - Hey.

Why did you want to see me here out of the blue?

-Up for some mitt work? -What?

You know, for old times' sake.

Doing mitt work with you always helped me clear my mind.

Shall we?

All right then.

Let's give it a try.

Hey, Moo Joongryeok!

Joongryeok…

You little…

-Do you remember? -Remember what?

The reason you loved boxing.

No matter how cornered you were,

you said you could always turn it around.

No matter how certain you were to lose…

you said you always had one shot left in you.

Did I say that?

Now that I look back…

I absolutely hated boxing.

It hurt,

and it was exhausting.

I only put up with it for your sake.

Come to think of it…

…I never said thank you.

Thank you, Minsoo.

Thank you so much.

Minsoo.

We still have one shot left in us, right?

It's not over until it's over, is it?

I'll get going.

Please come with us.

Doona, you're asleep, right?

Tyrannosaurus rex

Hyunseo

Dad says to come during visiting hours. He says it's been too long.

Oh?

Why are you taking that down?

It's our first team photo.

-Just because. -That's not a good excuse.

After everything that happened,

I figured it wasn't a good memory anymore.

What does that have to do with the photo?

Mm.

I get it now.

What do you mean? Get what?

Why you took the photo down.

And why's that?

Anyway, I forbid you to take it down.

That's my order as your captain.

How did he figure it out?

Jeez.

Hello, this is Violent Crimes Team 2.

Seoul Busters

Next time on Seoul Busters.

The Violent Crimes Team takes on a new case.

Yoona! Yoona!

She went missing around 3:10 p.m. today

from the apartment complex's back gate.

A kid is kidnapped on her way home from kindergarten.

A neighbor brought it because someone asked them to.

So you didn't see his face clearly.

Who did this? That bastard!

The Violent Crimes Team works hard to solve the case.

In kidnapping cases, every second counts.

Focus on securing CCTV footage and witnesses.

But things take an unexpected turn.

The kidnapping case of Choo Yoona will now be handled

by the Special Investigation Team from headquarters.

In the new setup,

Junghwan is torn between staying loyal and getting a promotion.

What were you doing in there?

If you so much as talk to them, you're a traitor.

- What will Junghwan choose? - Salute.

And will the Violent Crimes Team manage to find the kid?

To be continued…
