BAD GUYS

BAD GUYS

PREVIOUSLY

The high school girl. The daughter of the lead detective on the case.

Even the day she died, you were in front of her house.

I will catch that scumbag and kill him with my own hands.

Then I'll kneel before Ji-yeon. I'll beg on my knees.

I'll apologize to her for being a terrible father.

How do you and Jung-moon know each other?

I was the lead prosecutor on his case.

You're a psychopath, Lee Jung-moon.

What was I doing in this car?

Every time you showed up in this car, you killed someone.

If you want the truth, help me one last time.

If you want to blame me, pull the trigger.

I don't know anything. Dr. Kim ordered me to do it.

Take it. It'll help you relax.

Lee Jung-moon?

How long have you been watching me?

The guilt and remorse of robbing someone of their loved ones.

Now that I know what it's like.

Don't leave me alone. Please.

The person who approached Kim Do-sik in an attempt to get Tae-su

to take out Jung-moon.

The person who contacted

Lee Du-kwang and ordered him to get Woong-chul to kill Jung-moon.

This person gave orders to get rid of Woong-chul and Tae-su as well.

Were you the one behind it?

Answer me at once.

Oh Gu-tak.

Was it you?

Rompun. It's an anesthetic.

Lee Jung-moon, I knew you'd come find me.

There you are, at last.

THE DANCING KNIFE

So you fabricated evidence to put Jung-moon behind bars?

EPISODE 10

It surely is interesting.

But I must say, it's too cruel and disrespectful.

The puzzle is finally coming together.

Now, I get why Jung-moon went AWOL and went to see Yang Yoo-jin.

You said I tried to kill you,

but I really don't remember.

And now, I know why you were so sure that he'd go to her.

So you're sure Lee will try to track down Yang Yoo-jin?

The pieces of the puzzle are finally falling into place.

You think I got Woong-chul and Tae-su out

to use their connections to kill Jung-moon?

I'm convinced that's why you did it. It's not just a presumption.

If you're that convinced, I won't try to explain myself.

However, I didn't get them out to kill Jung-moon.

Then why?

I wanted to see. That's why I got them out.

Is Jung-moon really the Hwayeon-dong killer?

If so, was he the one who killed my daughter?

I wanted to find out the truth

by observing him while keeping him under my control.

I'm not quite following.

You fabricated evidence to put him behind bars.

Why get him out...

It was sometime last year.

I didn't come out of my room for months. I was alive but barely breathing.

Suddenly, I had this thought.

Why did I conclude that Jung-moon was the killer back then?

The kerosene?

Because he was caught on one of the cameras near the scene?

Just because of that?

There were no eyewitnesses who saw him kill any of the victims

so why was I so sure?

Did I let my emotions cloud my judgment?

I had these thoughts constantly popping up into my head.

And those thoughts

led me to question whether or not he really said what I thought he did.

Your daughter is beautiful.

Did he actually say that?

It got me questioning.

Did I make that up?

Perhaps, he didn't say anything when he walked by.

Maybe that's what actually happened.

But because I was so convinced,

perhaps I kept telling myself that I had never been wrong

and that it had to be right.

So perhaps, my brain made up such a memory.

Maybe I was so caught up in my determination

to avenge my daughter's death that I only thought about

finding someone to blame rather than the truth.

I kept thinking such crazy thoughts which kept me up for days.

So, you thought Jung-moon might not actually be the Hwayeon-dong killer?

Is that why you visited him in prison? You suddenly felt a pang of guilt?

I don't want to call it "guilt" because it'd make me feel too miserable.

All of a sudden, I just felt bad for him.

Yang Yoo-jin says she feels bad.

I couldn't bring myself to say sorry.

I felt that I'd be wronging Ji-yeon if I apologized to him.

So? What's your conclusion?

You observed him, fully knowing the risk.

What's your conclusion regarding Jung-moon?

A psychopathic serial killer?

Or just an innocent victim of your burning desire for revenge?

In your opinion, which one is the real Lee Jung-moon?

The clouds I saw in the past always brought rain without fail.

So far, that is.

But this time, I felt like I could see some sun rays through the clouds.

So I thought, maybe I really was wrong about him.

Just as I was beginning to think that,

it suddenly started pouring.

I had put my umbrella down because of the faint rays of sunshine

only to get soaked.

Like an idiot.

I'm not sure whether or not you'll believe me,

but the person who tried to get Woong-chul and Tae-su to kill Jung-moon...

It wasn't me.

Well, I don't care even if you don't believe me.

Where are you going?

I'm off to catch and kill Jung-moon.

No.

That's not going to happen.

I had no choice.

Senior Inspector Yoo.

Did you set me up?

The incidents from two years ago that you told me about.

I had circumstantial evidence deduced from your case file,

but there was no direct evidence.

But now, I have it.

Direct evidence.

Yoo Mi-young.

What a lowlife you are.

And you call yourself a civil servant?

Just follow them quietly. They'll take good care of you.

You know my nickname, don't you?

I don't care who I bite.

Stop!

I will no longer tolerate your antics, Captain Oh.

Don't you dare bark if you don't have the nerve to bite.

-Captain Oh. -Lee Jung-moon.

I will turn myself in once I kill that scumbag,

so quit your antics now, Senior Inspector Yoo.

Can't you just let me handle this?

Are you with Prosecutor Oh now?

I feel so bad for Commissioner Nam.

The person who tried to get Woong-chul and Tae-su to take out Jung-moon.

It really wasn't you?

Earlier, you said

you didn't know why you were convinced Jung-moon was the killer two years ago.

I think I know why you arrived at such a conclusion.

You wanted to catch the Hwayeon-dong killer

to clear your conscience. Am I wrong?

You sold your integrity when you accepted the 50 million won from Lee Du-kwang.

I bet that had been weighing on your conscience.

So you probably thought hard

to figure out a way to clear your conscience in one blow.

Then you decided to solve the Hwayeon-dong serial murder case.

You thought solving the biggest homicide case in the precinct

would help you lighten your load.

Wasn't that what you thought?

Be honest with me.

You were never even interested in finding evidence anyway.

From the get-go, you just wanted him to be the killer.

Because putting him behind bars as the perp

would help you lessen your burden.

That's why you framed him

which was very unlike you.

Don't resent Jung-moon. You should resent yourself if anything.

Everything that has happened in the past two years,

it's all on you, Captain Oh Gu-tak.

Once you're in hell, even repentance feels like a luxury.

This is Patrol 1.

A person of interest has been found murdered.

A key member of the East Side Gang.

I repeat. A key member of the East Side Gang has been murdered.

Get ready for an outing.

Who do we need to catch this time?

So you're saying...

Lee Jung-moon did this?

Evidence is everywhere.

We have security footage that shows him entering the building.

They must have tussled.

We found Jung-moon's fingerprints and DNA everywhere.

And the murder weapon has his prints all over it.

There's no doubt that Jung-moon was the one who killed your boss.

You must've known that something was up between those two.

The person who ordered your boss to kill me.

Who is it?

I'll just ask him

myself.

Do you mind stepping out for a moment?

Step out for a moment, will you?

You still wear that ring?

I see that the plating has worn off.

I promised to buy you one made of real gold once I became rich.

You can still keep that promise.

Just kill Lee Jung-moon, and we can start over.

You can have a nice car, fancy clothes, and good food again.

You can live the good life.

Jung-moon went to meet Lee Du-kwang to find out who ordered the hit

but got into a fight and killed him. Is that your interpretation?

No need for interpretation.

Lee Jung-moon killed Lee Du-kwang. Just look at the facts.

Emotions get in the way when you try to interpret things.

And you'll end up like me.

What happened?

Lee Du-kwang is dead? What happened?

Well, it's...

I heard that moron Oh Gu-tak removed Jung-moon's anklet,

so you can't track him down now.

How did this happen? You tell me.

What I told you just now

is the reason Captain Oh made you two and Jung-moon

join the Special Crime Investigation Team.

So he was the person who wanted me to kill Jung-moon two years ago?

Because Jung-moon, that psycho, killed his daughter?

He wanted revenge?

-Yes. -Then here's another question.

This one is more important to me.

Answer truthfully.

This is regarding the recent events.

As you know, the man lying down there was ordered to kill Jung-moon.

And even I was approached to get rid of Jung-moon.

That person tried to get me and Woong-chul killed as well, on top of Jung-moon.

Was that person...

Oh Gu-tak?

I lost so much because of that scumbag.

In fact, I have nothing left now.

I have to meet that bastard.

I have to meet him no matter what so I can make him suffer

and do exactly what he did to me.

Now, tell me.

Was Oh Gu-tak...

behind everything?

I'm not 100 percent sure...

Yes, it was him.

Captain Oh Gu-tak ordered the hit.

We only have circumstantial evidence, but my gut tells me that it was him.

Prosecutor Oh.

I don't know how you guys will take this,

but there are three dents in his otherwise pristine record.

Guess what they are.

Park Woong-chul, Jung Tae-su, Lee Jung-moon.

The three of you.

If it weren't for you guys, he'd have a spotless record.

I bet he wanted to get rid of the dents.

So he got you two and Jung-moon out and tried to kill you guys

because his painful memories will fade away

once those responsible for them are gone.

Well, why don't we do this?

Just act according to the way you're feeling right now.

Woong-chul. Jung-moon killed your boss, so you must want to find him. Go for it.

Tae-su, you said you lost everything because of Captain Oh.

So take away exactly what he took from you.

So once we catch them, we can do whatever we want?

I'll leave it up to you guys.

Remember this though.

This is a confidential investigation, so no one else knows about it.

Except for Senior Inspector Yoo.

Any questions?

All right, then. Let's get to work.

-What are you thinking? -What?

Why talk like it's a fact when we're not sure yet?

I have to make up for the mistake you made.

That's why.

What mistake?

Why did you let Oh Gu-tak get away?

We have to capture and interrogate him

in order to find out the truth. Am I wrong?

What is the leadership quality that a manager needs the most?

Keeping your team motivated.

I've given them motivation, so they'll get him in a few days.

All we have to do is trust them and wait.

What if they really kill them? Then what will you do?

Commissioner Nam no longer has your back,

so I believe I'm the only one you can count on now.

Just keep your mouth shut and do as I say.

Don't worry about pointless things.

I don't think it's "pointless" to worry about someone getting killed.

Let's stay focused and only think about our goal.

Getting the team disbanded. That is our goal.

Whether they die or not, it's not our problem.

Right?

Is it that easy for you?

Prosecutor Oh. Were you always like this?

Once you've experienced traumatic pain,

you never think about what kind of person you are.

You only think about what kind of person you must become.

A female detective came to see you once, right?

Was it about him?

You recognize his face, don't you?

He does look familiar.

I have to find this guy as soon as possible,

but he's fallen off the grid. And his phone is off.

I need your help.

You're good with the stethoscope.

Help me out.

When it comes to jobs that involve wiretapping and bugging, I'm very picky.

-Find someone else. -Mr. Lim...

died because of this man.

Jong-seok and Hyun-woo too.

This man meddled in our lives.

That's why they died.

The few people that were dear to me...

all died because of this man.

All of them.

Are you sure?

I'll be back, boss.

As you guys already know, Boss passed away.

He was murdered, to be exact.

I don't have a way with words, so I'll keep it short. Listen up.

Take a good look at that face.

That bastard killed Du-kwang.

-What? -Who is this scumbag?

Don't worry about the funeral.

Return to your turfs at once.

Speak to every business owner, waiter, procuress, and bouncer.

Bars, billiard halls. Knock on every door.

Anyone with a pair of eyes that can recognize a face must see this.

The entire city of Seoul is in the palm of our hand anyway,

so you guys will surely find him if he's somewhere in Seoul.

If you see someone who resembles him even just slightly,

call me right away.

Excuse me.

What's going on?

You guys can dine at fancy restaurants in Seoul and drive nice cars

all thanks to Du-kwang.

And he was...

He was like a real brother to me.

So bring this bastard to me.

No matter what.

-Yes, boss! -Yes, boss!

That's right. Everything went without a hitch.

Yes, I told you. Just hurry over here and...

Hello.

Do you sell prepaid phones?

You scared the crap out of me.

What's going on? Why are the prosecutors after you?

When you're stuck in the gutter, sewer flies circle around you.

Anyway, did you find out anything?

Take a look. This is the car you were in that day, right?

It was seen entering Seoul from Gapyeong last night.

Kidnapped by the one he tried to kidnap.

He got you good, Jung-moon.

I need you to look into someone.

What, again? Who?

Is it too much hassle again?

Okay, fine. Who? Who is it?

His name is Kim Dong-ho.

He ran a psychiatric clinic in Guro three years ago.

Do some digging.

If there's anything fishy, find out everything about it.

What is going on, seriously?

You need to tell me!

Here, I got you one too.

Once you collect enough info on him, call me with this phone.

I'm off.

Hello?

Hello?

What?

You got the wrong number.

I told you. I'm not Hwang Sung-sik!

I don't believe you.

Are you really not Hwang Sung-sik?

How many times must I tell you?

I am not. Don't you understand Korean?

Okay, fine. Why are you so angry?

All right. Sorry about that.

Did you get it?

Now, we can listen in on all his calls.

I thought you had to plant a bug in the person's phone to listen in.

All cell phone calls go through a base station.

So all we have to do is snatch his calls through the base station

and locate him. Then it's game over.

Get up and greet your guest.

No, he's alive.

Let's wait and see.

Make sure he doesn't come looking for me again.

Make no mistake. Do you understand?

Who are you guys?

Jeez, what the hell am I doing with these kids now?

Hand out of the pocket.

Hey, have you guys seen this man?

No.

Look at it before you answer.

Did you just glare at me? You little brat.

Forget it. Go take some vitamins and grow up, you punks.

Lee Jung-moon?

Hey, that's him. Get him!

Come on!

Hey, drag him out.

Hey, open the door!

Boss, what should we do?

Open it.

Get out of the car, Jung-moon.

Just go.

What the...

Get them!

Hey! Stop!

Pull over. Hey!

I'm sorry. Let me get off!

Stop the car!

Please!

Jung-moon, please! Stop!

Lee Jung-moon!

It was you, right?

You killed Du-kwang.

Woong-chul wants to see you.

There you are, at last.

Are you sure? Where?

Wangsimni? I'll call you back.

-Wangsimni is pretty close, right? -Yes.

Hurry. Step on the gas.

This way.

HOTEL ROOM 506

Jeez, this pig! What the hell did he eat?

Oh, man.

Ouch! I nearly broke my back.

Gosh, my back...

It really hurts.

Boss, you're here.

What happened? Are they dead or asleep?

Well, neither. They were electrocuted.

Anyway, they'll wake up soon.

This bed is way too small for him.

Switch them.

Got it. Wait, what?

Is he really heavy?

-He weighs about 180 kg. -Oh, I see.

Just switch them.

Okay, boss.

Captain Oh resisted arrest and is on the run at the moment

and Lee Jung-moon killed someone.

The other two are trying to track them down,

but even if we wrap up the case now,

those responsible will face disciplinary action.

I suggest...

If you disband the Special Crime Investigation Team

and hold Captain Oh accountable for his personal deviation...

Then it won't affect me.

Is that it?

Yes, sir.

Mi-young.

Have you ever eaten a fallen apple?

From time to time, you see people at markets

selling apples that fell from trees due to wind or storm damage.

They look all beaten and bruised.

They're dimpled and ugly,

so they're carelessly thrown into black plastic bags

and sold at half price.

I had never eaten apples like that my whole life,

so I got curious and wanted to taste one.

One day, I bought one and tasted it.

I tried it and...

Do you know how it tasted?

It tasted just the same.

The ones that were knocked to the ground after a stormy day

and were left lying around in the mud for days

because they were all ugly and bruised

taste just as good

as the nicely packaged red apples ripened to perfection

that you see at expensive grocery stores.

Commissioner Nam.

You and your metaphors.

Do you find it funny?

What's with the snide snicker?

Earlier, you basically told me

that I should just throw the rotten windfall apples

down the sewer somewhere

and lie that I've never seen or tasted them.

"I know nothing about them."

That's what you want me to say?

Tell me, Oh Jae-won.

Do you think they're subhuman?

To you, I guess they're just things you can use

and toss once you no longer need them.

You're out of line.

Be respectful, Commissioner Nam.

You can't teach an infant how to use the toilet.

I don't need to be respectful to an impudent punk like you.

Should you wish to cut a deal with me,

have a heart first. Do you understand?

Mi-young.

Do you not regret your decision?

I guess I'm getting old. Because I already lost my son,

it really hurts to lose you too. You were like a daughter to me.

You can come back anytime if you change your mind.

I'm not going anywhere.

I think I've come too far, sir.

I'm sorry.

KIM DONG-HO, MALE, PSYCHIATRIST

Hi. It's me, Chang-joon.

Hello?

Isn't this Oh Gu-tak's phone? Hello?

Did I dial the wrong number?

Which phone are you using now?

Turn off your phone and use the one I gave you.

As they say, even walls have ears.

It's me, Chang-joon.

Is this really necessary though?

Are we in a spy movie or what?

I think this is a bit much.

I resisted arrest and beat up those prosecutors.

Don't you think it's awfully quiet?

It's got to be one of these two.

Either they're tailing me quietly,

or I've gone deaf.

Do you think I've gone deaf?

Then we wouldn't be able to talk on the phone.

Should I come to where you are?

No, it's not like I can invite you over right now.

Let's meet somewhere crowded and do some people-watching.

Okay, where?

Hongdae. It's a buzzing area with lots of young people.

Not yet?

No, not yet.

But so many people in the area are on the phone at the moment,

so there will be some cross-connection.

Does he know we're onto him?

I don't think so. I'd call it an instinct

of a seasoned detective.

You must get him as soon as he meets Park Chang-joon.

Prepaid phones can't be tracked.

Things will get messy if you lose him.

Where are you? Why aren't you here yet?

I'm here. I see you.

What? Where? Where are you?

Hey, do you wear that jacket all year around?

Chang-joon. Let's fart to see if we've got someone on our tail.

See that little park? I see lots of youngsters there.

Meet me there, okay?

Jeez, I haven't even eaten yet. Must you crack a fart joke?

Shut it. Just go ahead and fart, man.

Go.

Hey, don't move. It's a test.

Maybe I overreacted.

I'm coming now.

Go, now!

I don't think we have anyone on our tail.

Still, don't let your guard down.

Oh, right. I asked you to do some digging on Kim Dong-ho.

Did you find anything?

He doesn't have a criminal record,

but his wife was murdered by a serial killer.

I got everything on him and his close acquaintances,

so you take a look.

I'm at the park now.

Okay, wait there. I'm almost there too.

I'm at the park. They're about to meet.

See the trash can in front of you?

Yes, I do.

Then toss what you brought.

And that's your cue to leave.

What? I don't even get to see you?

Why would you want to see this pasty-faced old man?

Besides, being seen with me won't do you any good.

All right, then.

I've tossed it.

Hey, be careful.

All right, you too.

Get regular checkups unless you want to deal with a health scare.

Hey, Gu-tak. Wait.

Remember Detective Joo?

He called me.

He's at Seongdong Police Station, near Wangsimni.

Anyway, he thinks Lee Jung-moon was seen in the area about two hours ago.

What?

A car crashed into a tree. While checking the surveillance footage,

he saw Lee Jung-moon getting out of the car.

Then he dashed off and some thugs ran after him.

But he's a lifer.

Joo is probably mistaken, right?

That means he might have managed to escape from Kim Dong-ho.

Are you saying it was really Lee Jung-moon?

Come on. You know something, don't you?

-What is going on? -Babe, where are you?

I'm in Hongdae now.

I see. How long will you be?

Yes, I'm in Hongdae.

Yoo-jin.

How's it going? Do you like your place?

What do you think?

If you had been more cautious, you wouldn't have been scammed.

-You know how I got that money. -If you're here to provoke me, just leave.

What do you want from me?

RECENTS 1 NEW VOICE MESSAGE

First new message.

Jung-moon.

It's me, Yoo-jin.

You must resent me a lot.

I know.

I had no choice though.

Oh Gu-tak...

He threatened me.

He fabricated the whole thing.

I'm in Seoul now.

My address is...

Boss. It's me, Woo-seok.

Follow him. I'll be right there.

Hello?

Hey. It's me, Gu-tak.

Where are you?

Well, you know. Somewhere in this tiny country.

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

Gu-hyun. Do you trust me?

I do, of course.

Who else would I trust if not you?

Thanks.

It's important to have at least one person you can trust.

Gu-hyun.

Take care of yourself, okay?

So you won't fall ill out of the blue.

What are you saying?

I have you looking out for me. I have you, Oh Gu-tak.

Hey, Gu-tak. Where are you now?

Gu-tak! Hey!

You got him?

Where is he?

That scumbag, Oh Gu-tak.

He just left.

Please just stay alive.

You will...

You'll die at my hands.

Jung-moon.

On your knees.

I said, on your knees.

Look at me.

So it was all you?

I heard you threatened Yoo-jin

to put it all on me.

Why did you do that?

What about you?

Why did you do that to me?

My daughter, Ji-yeon.

She didn't do anything wrong. Why did you kill her?

Why?

I...

don't remember.

Fine.

Don't try to remember

because I remember exactly what happened.

Hey.

Get up.

Stand up straight before I rip you apart.

That little...

I'll take from you

what you took from me.

Did you think I'd let you get away with what you did to Du-kwang?

You're dead meat now.

Get up.

I told you that I'd take care of it. I said to let me handle it!

Why did you kill Du-kwang? Why? Answer me, you bastard!

You piece of...

Did you really...

I told you that it wasn't me. Why won't you believe me...

You know, we could've been friends.

Don't you think?

I wish...

I wish I actually killed them.

If I really killed all those people and remembered killing them,

then it'd be much easier.

Aren't you sick of saying that you don't remember anything?

I am sick of it.

So I want to end it now.

I want it over.

Okay.

Then I will grant your wish.

Got anything to say

before you die?

What's your deal?

Can you only laugh now that you're about to die?

No.

I'm just laughing at how pathetic I look now.

Was it...

really not you?

If it really wasn't you,

convince me.

Convince you?

Just go ahead and kill me, you prick.

I have no energy to talk, let alone convince you.

For old times' sake,

I'll make this quick and easy, so don't resent me.

Jung-moon, you fool.

Try to remember.

Then I don't have to kill you.

I told you.

I don't remember.

Why don't you remember?

Beat your brains out if you have to!

I'm really sorry,

but I truly...

don't remember.

You approached us to kill Jung-moon.

That's why I was contacted for the job.

Am I wrong?

Yes, you're right.

It was all me.

Happy now?

I'm not playing with you, bastard.

Isn't that what you want to hear?

That I was the one behind it all.

I used you guys to kill Jung-moon

and that's why everyone you cared about died.

That's the answer you want.

You scumbag.

Tae-su.

What I said just now...

Think nothing of it.

Come on. Convince me.

I said, convince me.

Please!

Okay.

I understand.

Do it.

Must you keep this up?

I'm sorry.
