EPISODE 10

Yes. My username is Chocoholic.

What? It's been forever since I returned the products.

Why haven't you sent the new ones yet?

It's not just some chocolate to me. My life depends on it.

What?

Look, Nam Junghyun really was in the club.

See? I got bad vibes from him right from the start.

Should we arrest him right away?

Arrest him? For clubbing?

Stop being frustrating. When it comes to arresting someone,

speed is key!

Evidence must be lawfully obtained to be admissible.

Huh, isn't that Berkeley Druggie?

It's him, isn't it?

You're right. I heard he just got released.

-Who's Berkeley Druggie? -What?

Tan, Tan.

Oh, he's a famous junkie.

He lies about having graduated from Berkeley

or some fancy US university

and slings drugs at clubs.

Wow, Nam Junghyun must be doing drugs too.

Don't you think?

Why don't we try to get an arrest warrant for Nam Junghyun using this, Captain?

Forget it. We couldn't even get a search warrant.

Let's just bring him in and deal with whatever comes after.

Let's just arrest him.

Hey, jinx!

Jinx, my foot.

I'm talking about Berkeley Druggie, not Nam Junghyun!

There's no need to yell.

Sorry about that.

SEOUL BUSTERS

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT

You can't just push your way in like this.

We brought the warrant!

Whether you have the warrant or not, you'll have to wait a minute.

You're still refusing to cooperate?

Hey, thugs.

What?

Get out of the way.

I'll count to three.

I'm serious this time.

One.

Two.

We're not supposed to do this, but welcome!

Welcome!

Sir!

What is it now?

You need to wear this wristband to enter.

Okay! Put it on me.

Yes, sir.

- Is that too tight? - It's perfect.

Let's spread out and search! Quick!

Okay.

What do you need? I'm busy.

I don't like the music today.

-You're a new face. -Yeah.

Are you here alone?

I heard I could find good music here.

-Music? -From abroad.

A mood-booster.

Here's my number.

If you're looking for Berkeley Druggie,

he's in the room at the end of the hallway.

Thanks.

Hey. He's in the room at the end of the hallway.

Come upstairs, and you'll find the VIP rooms, hmm?

I'll have to drug test you too.

What?

Is this what you're into?

I got you dead to rights.

What?

I need backup.

Is this for real?

- What the hell? - Gosh!

- Keep dancing. Sorry. - Shit!

Hold on!

Berkeley Druggie!

- Ouch! - It's you, isn't it?

If you've had enough fun, come with me.

Yo, what's up, man?

What is it now?

I've really quit drugs now.

I'm clean, yo. I've washed my hands.

I don't care if you've washed your hands or ass. Just follow me.

Who are you?

Move. Don't cross the line, or else.

This guy's crazy, yo.

Who do you think you're talking to?

You want to bow to me, don't you?

What the hell are you talking about?

- Damn it. - Get him, guys!

You're dead!

What the heck?

What's he doing?

- Punch him, now! - Dance time!

- Champagne? - I only drink soju.

Follow me.

How about soju and beer?

Hey, Druggie. Look at this.

You've sold drugs to him, haven't you?

Detective.

If I rat on him, I'm dead meat for real.

He's a bad guy who isn't scared of anything.

He's super bad, yo.

Answer my question, or you're done for anyway.

Jeez.

Goddammit!

Yeah! Ganddaengi! Yeah!

His ganddaengi is all swollen. He needs to learn a lesson.

Ganddaengi? He's got a swollen liver?

No, it's an idiom.

It means he's got a lot of nerve.

Okay?

Step it up this time.

Step it up this time.

If you mess up again, you owe us two million won.

Just get your money ready, okay?

Fore!

Hey, you even suck at golf. Is there anything you're good at?

What do you want now?

I know. You're good at being an ass.

You're under arrest for possessing cannabis

under the Narcotics Control Act.

-Get over here. -Damn it.

Stop there!

Whoa, whoa, whoa…

- What the… - Hey!

Joongryeok, get in! Get in!

We can't let him get away!

Step on it, Junghwan!

What the hell? Wrong way!

Stop, stop, stop!

- Stop. Change gears. - Gears. Gears.

- Where's the lever? - There it is.

-Hey! My gosh, turn around. -Turn around?

-Back up! Yes! -Back up?

There you go!

Let's go!

Step on it, Junghwan!

Stop right there!

Stop!

- Hey! - You have nowhere to run!

Speed up! Step on the gas!

I can't go any faster!

- This is fine. - I said step on it!

- I am! - Harder!

Out of the way!

Stop!

Gosh, what are you doing?

-Out of the way! -Please move.

Damn it.

Nam Junghyun, you'll have to come with me.

Let go.

Is this Nam Junghyun's locker?

It's so full.

Can you give me a bag for all this?

We'll take care of his belongings.

-Otherwise, we might get in trouble. -Don't worry.

You know this costs about 10 million won, right?

What costs 10 million won? This?

-Yes. -Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Whoa…

-Is this okay? -No, it's not.

-Give it here. -Whoa.

10 million won?

SONGWON POLICE STATION HAS MOVED TO A TEMPORARY LOCATION

Wow, you bleached your hair.

Why do you care? Is this a hair salon?

Are you my hairdressers or something?

Damn it.

What a pain in the ass.

I agree, sir. Totally.

Junkies do all sorts of things to their hair to destroy evidence.

You think we don't know that?

So you detoxed?

As if that's going to work.

You're out of line.

You recognize him, don't you?

-What's going on? -You two got into a scuffle on the street.

Wait a minute. What's going on here?

What does this have to do with the case?

We can show you the CCTV footage if you want.

This is getting interesting.

Now I remember.

This old geezer was getting on my nerves.

-But what about him? -Later that night,

he was murdered.

Let me get this straight.

Are you suspecting me of murder,

not drug use?

You don't have to answer them.

Is it really okay

to try to pin a murder on someone without any grounds?

If you want to investigate him further, bring the evidence.

Let's take a break.

Captain, what should we…

What's with him? He ignored me.

What should we do if that bastard keeps playing dumb?

Hey, something's fishy. I can tell from his eyes.

I have a hunch.

-What happens if he keeps playing dumb? -What do you think…

Tan, Tan.

Oh, then things get complicated.

And he'll just get charged with using cannabis at most.

By the way, where's Minseo?

She went to the National Forensic Service to get the drug test results

for the guy we collared at the club.

Oh… Let's take a break for now.

Mmm…

Hey, kid. Can I buy that from you?

No way. My uncle got it for me in Switzerland.

I really need it.

Please sell it to me.

You can't just get whatever you want because you say you need it.

Plus, think about how much it costs to ship this from Switzerland.

-My answer's no. -These are originally 3,000 won each.

This is way more than that.

I really need it right now. Please do me a favor.

I'll give you a whole box tomorrow.

Ugh, why do the detectives here keep trying to take stuff from me?

-Did someone else ask you for something? -I'll think about it.

I'll pay you more.

Forget it. Wait, I have to catch my bus.

- Bye. - What? No, wait, kid!

Shit!

- Hi, Donggoo. - Hello.

I'm so tired.

Hi, guys!

-Hi, Donggoo. -Hi.

My uncle bought me chocolate from Switzerland.

- Really? - Yes.

- Want to see it? - Yes!

Hmm?

Let me borrow your chocolate until tomorrow.

We really need it for busting bad guys.

From the pretty detective.

Wow!

When did she swap them?

Unbelievable!

Huh? Hold on a second.

What is this doing here? Who put it here?

Oh!

Wow.

-Detective Seo. -Yes?

Can I have another look at the footage?

You mean the footage from the convenience store?

Yes, please.

Why is he suddenly in a good mood? What's with him?

Maybe he slept well.

He's like a roller coaster these days.

Please write down what you did on the day of the incident.

In chronological order. Don't leave anything out.

Fucking hell.

Hey, do I look that easy to you guys? Huh?

Do I look like a pushover to you?

Answer me, goddammit!

What gives you the right to waste my time whenever you want to?

Huh?

Hey.

I can't stand you anymore.

You deserve a beating.

Be my guest, gorilla. Get up.

"Gorilla"?

- Come here, you bastard. - What do you think you're doing?

No! His jacket costs 10 million won!

Grab him already!

What are you waiting for? What's wrong?

Go ahead and grab me.

Hey, gorilla.

What's wrong? Do it.

Grab me already.

Didn't you say you were going to teach me a lesson?

You little…

Just answer the question.

Do you really have nothing to do with the murder?

Stay out of it, underling.

Answer me!

Tansik. Tansik!

- Detective Jang. Detective Jang! - Calm down.

Shake him hard two more times.

You must all be out of your minds.

You won't get away with this!

Calm down and follow me.

Detective Moo, please drive him to the National Forensic Service.

- The National Forensic Service? - Yes. I've already talked to them.

Detective Jang, keep your hands covered the whole way.

- Yes, sir. - What should we do with Nam Junghyun?

Let him go for now.

Get going.

Follow me.

Okay.

-Get in already. -I can't use my hands.

- Well… - What? What is it now?

-Buckle me up, please. -I can't believe you.

Look, my hands.

Careful!

-What's wrong? -Oh, I'm ticklish.

Stay still,

-or I'll push you out. -Understood.

I'm sorry.

-Detective Moo. -Will you be quiet?

I'm sorry, but--

Whatever it is, just don't.

- I'm really sorry, but-- - What is it?

-I need to use the bathroom. -You crazy idiot!

Not in a million years, got that?

If I hold it in any longer, I might die.

Sure, just die. Drop dead.

I'm about to wet my pants!

Fine, go ahead!

-I'm wetting my pants! -Hey!

-I really am! -You little…

Detective Moo.

I can't thank you enough.

I'll never forget

your kindness.

- Let's go. - Hey.

Promise you'll take this to your grave.

I promise.

No. Keep it a secret even in the afterlife.

I will.

Detective Moo.

Please open the door for me.

Captain, Nam Junghyun is leaving the country today.

He's flying out to LA tonight.

- Tonight? - Yes.

I also found footage of him taking a taxi to the scene of the incident.

But we're still waiting for the forensic results.

We'll have to stall him.

Actually, the drug squad is going to search his home.

If they find any drugs, we can make an arrest immediately.

Then let's head over there.

Yes, sir.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Have you found anything? - No.

Where on earth did he hide them?

Captain, we'll help with the search.

There's no need.

The sniffer dogs are on their way, so please wait.

- Sniffer dogs? - There's one called Coco,

and he can detect any…

- Here they come. - Let's go in.

Come here.

Coco.

Coco?

This one here

is Coco.

Isn't he a bit too cute for the job?

He may be adorable, but he's the top dog on the team.

Let's go, you guys!

Detective Jang.

You should give it a try.

- Me? - I think you can do better than a dog.

Give it a try.

Wait.

Please leave Coco alone while he's searching.

This guy's sense of smell is just as keen as that of a sniffer dog.

Who's that mangy mutt?

Does he really think

his weak nose stands a chance against mine?

"Co" means nose, and I'm called "Coco" for a reason.

Coco, the champion sniffer.

Detective Jang.

Go find the drugs.

Yes, sir.

Hey, how did it go?

How are we doing on time?

We're short on it, as always.

At this rate, we'll miss him.

There's no way he can outsniff a dog.

What do we do?

We can't let him get away.

I told you it wouldn't work.

There's no point.

I really think of us as a team.

I'm sure there's a role for you on our team.

You're just as good as a dog.

No, I think you might be even better than a dog.

You really have

the nose of a dog.

I found the drugs!

I knew it! Well done, Detective Jang.

Good boy!

Track down and arrest Nam Junghyun.

- Yes, sir. - Let's go.

Okay.

Nice job.

If only I hadn't caught a cold, I would've beaten him.

Cheer up, Coco. Better luck next time.

I hope we still get some treats.

Hello, Dongbang Yubin speaking.

Your guess was right.

I was right?

The fibers found under the victim's nails

matched those from the jacket Nam Junghyun was wearing that day

and also matched

the fibers found on the weapon.

This should be enough direct evidence.

In other words, it's crystal clear.

Good work.

It's been confirmed

that Nam Junghyun murdered Yoon Haesik.

- I knew it. - Let's go.

All he did was grab him by the collar. How did that lead to crucial evidence?

Edmond Locard, the criminologist, said this.

DONGBANG YUBIN'S ENCYCLOPEDIA

EDMOND LOCARD

A FRENCH CRIMINOLOGIST AND PIONEER OF MODERN FORENSIC SCIENCE

"Every contact leaves a trace."

I knew Nam Junghyun must've left a trace if he really was the killer,

no matter how small it was.

Shake him hard two more times.

Oh… So that was why.

If Nam Junghyun had been wearing something else that day,

we wouldn't have found our evidence.

We eventually would have, although it would've taken longer.

How could he kill a person over such a trivial matter?

People like him always go after those weaker than they are.

The lower your self-esteem is, the more you rely on your pride.

- Leave me alone! - Just choose whatever you want.

- Let go! - I'll give you a good price.

- I said no! - What's going on?

Come with me!

-Look. -Hey, stop it!

Who are you? Get out of the way.

She's telling you to leave her alone.

You shouldn't try to overpower a woman. Let her go!

-What? -Don't worry and go home, miss.

Where do you think you're going? Hey!

Look, don't do this.

- Do you want to die? - Show some respect!

Hey! Let go!

Do you even know who I am?

I sure do.

You're a loser who harasses women!

Why you little…

He's going to hit him. What should we do?

When he realized he had made a spectacle of himself,

he must've felt humiliated.

- Is he beating someone up? - We need to call the police.

-Consider yourself lucky. -Lucky, my foot.

He needs to calm down.

Yoon Haesik's provocation

must have damaged his fragile self-esteem.

Okay.

You seem to be in a good mood after making me feel like shit.

Who are you?

What a pathetic loser.

You followed me all the way here?

Who's a pathetic loser?

Who do you think you are, mocking me like that?

He comes from a rich family. Why did he feel so insecure?

People tend to fixate on what they don't have

than what they do have.

Uh, hello?

Okay. Are you sure?

Okay, got it.

Captain, Nam Junghyun's been located. He's on his way to the airport.

He must've caught on and moved up his flight.

Drive us to the airport, rookie.

- Okay. - Step on it.

- What the… - What happened?

It appears we got a flat tire.

I can't believe this. Do we have a spare tire?

No, we don't.

Should we get a taxi?

I'll get us a new car.

From where?

A friend of mine lives just five minutes away from here.

-What? -Is it another friend of yours?

I'll be right back!

Damn this junker!

Where is he? He said he'd be back with a car.

Maybe we should request a vehicle from the nearest precinct.

-Got it. -Try calling a taxi too.

What should we do with Tansik?

Get in!

What?

Whoa!

Okay.

It's so cramped in here.

Wait! I'm getting a cramp in my leg!

-What? Your leg's cramping? -My leg!

Try putting saliva on your nose.

My chin hurts!

We're gaining on him!

-Isn't that his car? -Is it?

-It is! -4987! He's right there!

I'll block him.

- Whoa, whoa. - We've got him. Whoa!

Make a right.

Jeez!

Does that bastard have a death wish?

That little…

Hey!

You're dead meat. Hey!

Roll down the window. I said roll down the window!

-Pull ahead of him and block his car! -Yes, sir.

Son of a…

How do we get out?

- I'm going to kill that bastard. - Hey!

Come here…

-Nam Junghyun. -Damn it!

Captain! No!

-Move! -Captain!

- I can't get out! - What should we do?

We're stuck!

Nam Junghyun!

Whoa!

-I'm seriously going to kill you. -You should stop.

-Go away. -I hate violence.

Whoa!

Why, you little…

It's opening up!

Finally! It's open! It's open!

-Where's Tansik? Is he okay? -My neck hurts.

Why did he even join the Violent Crimes Team

if his only experience is being Santa?

Santa? Santa Claus?

What do you think? Is there any other Santa?

Why would he write that on his résumé?

It was Sanda, not Santa. It's a martial art.

I told you.

Stop following me!

You persistent little bastards!

Tansik.

Get up, Tansik.

Get up, Tansik!

You're even better than a dog.

Get up, Detective Jang.

You're my son. You can't just lie around.

Get up right now!

Bust the bad guy!

You promised you would catch the killer!

Get up, Tansik!

We have no time to lose. Get up!

Get up. Get up!

Get up, Jang Tansik!

Stop right there!

That's Sanda!

That's it!

You leave me no choice.

I'll have to use force.

Nam Junghyun.

You're under arrest for the murder of Yoon Haesik.

Detective Jang!

-Rookie! -Wow!

Detective Jang!

Great job, rookie!

That was so cool!

Thanks, Tansik. I'll call you when I get there.

Please do. Be good to your aunt and study hard.

I will. One more thing.

Thank you for catching the killer.

You don't have to thank me. I was just doing my job.

-It's cold. Get going. -Okay.

Tansik, I've always wanted to ask you this.

Why did you become a detective?

My father was one.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I have to drive, so I'm just going to sniff it.

Cheers.

Mmm… It smells nice.

I thought you were taking me somewhere nicer.

Tan Restaurants are everywhere.

And why do you think that is?

Because it's that good.

Oh, I'll go wash my hands first.

Don't start the crabs without me.

-Fine. -Dig in.

Huh?

He definitely has a big nose.

No way.

Huh.

It can't be.
