Episode 10 The Last Witness

[slurps]

Sir.

How dare you enter my house while I'm not here?

What kind of insolence is this?

"Any brothers-in-arms are always welcome."

Those were your words, not mine.

Now is not a good time. Leave.

Don't you think things will get worse if I leave right now?

I hear that you took the lead in importing

certain toys from Japan, Colonel.

What do you mean?

The pachinko.

It's a pinball machine, isn't it?

[sighs]

What did you find out?

College professors are up in arms about the pinball machines

that Deputy Minister Jung Byungpil pushed to be imported.

Even the Supreme Council is concerned, sir.

How concerned?

His place in the Council

may be at risk.

[car engine rumbling]

Throw this out for me, will you?

Surely, I will.

[Heesung groans]

- [Baek] Look, you punk. - You…

You and your father's lives are under my thumb now.

[grunting]

You better kiss my feet from now on.

[Baek] I heard the professors are absolutely enraged about those toys.

I even hear complaints

that the government is encouraging people to gamble.

What do all those armchair academics know about reality?

Sure, but the problem is that the chairman actually listens

to those armchair academics.

Keep going down this path…

and you'll fall out of favor with the chairman.

What are you trying to say?

Actually, you know what?

Whatever you do, your situation is hopeless regardless.

[Baek exhales deeply]

Jongnam Hospital

Thanks for saving my life, Gyeonghwan.

Don't mention it.

Good job.

- Hop on in! - Why don't you go ride your horse?

- [soft chuckle] - This guy.

[Yeonghan] Good job in there, Officer Nam.

How much do you know about your own son?

That accident at Jongnam Intersection where his friends died.

That wasn't an accident.

It was a murder case.

And your son is the murderer.

That's ridiculous!

If you don't accept what I say…

you'll have to deal with bigger problems down the road.

What do I mean?

Well…

[Baek] This is another victim of your son.

He personally asked me to deal with this matter,

and I managed to clean up his mess, leaving no traces behind.

Imagine finding out that your dear, precious son

turned out to be a murderer.

You must feel absolutely devastated.

Who on earth would believe this nonsense?

[exhales deeply]

Colonel Jung.

I'm going to bundle up everything I've told you until now…

and toss it with a spark right at you.

Imagine that.

The government has made a big deal about eliminating corruption and evil.

Now imagine an official's son turning out to be a murderer.

Once the people find out,

the chairman…

won't be so happy.

Well then?

The choice is yours.

Either your son…

gets acquitted of his crimes,

or we can all die together…

after exposing the truth.

[exhales deeply]

[whispers] Salute, Senior Superintendent Baek.

Jung Heesung has just been arrested for attempted murder.

[Sangsun] What was that?

- What's going on? - He was caught attempting murder.

We have a witness, sir.

We'll just follow the law, sir.

Why don't I question Jung Heesung?

[sighs]

I'm afraid you can't, sir.

And why is that?

As our ancestors wisely said,

"Don't let a fox guard the henhouse."

[soft chuckle]

If I don't question him,

you'll all get in trouble.

[Yeonghan laughing]

I'd like to find out how much trouble we'll face.

Whatever happens to us,

we at Unit 1

will have Jung Heesung locked up.

As with you, sir, if we can.

Right.

It seems you all need to be taught a bloody lesson…

you doggone pricks.

You don't want to know

how hard this dog can bite.

- Take him, Detective Seo. - [Hojeong] Yes, sir.

Senior Superintendent.

Senior Superintendent!

[door opens]

You don't have much time, sir.

Until you begin…

going down the drain, I mean.

We'll see about that.

[door opens, closes]

- Damn this! - [Sangsun] Look at him.

You're under arrest for attempted murder. At least pretend to be remorseful.

They'll try to have the charge dropped

since you were the only witness, Yeonghan.

I'm not the only one. Nam Junggil was there too.

Do you think he'd willingly testify?

[Gyeonghwan] He'll have to expose his own crimes.

Then we'll make him do it.

Where's Officer Nam?

[Yeonghan] He's standing watch at the hospital.

He'll contact us if anything happens.

Jung Heesung won't be going anywhere for now,

so get Nam Junggil's testimony, Detectives Park and Kim.

[Yeonghan] Yes, sir.

Why aren't these two coming with us, sir?

[Chief Yu] I have a job for them.

[knocks on door]

What is it?

Master Heesung is being held at Jongnam Police Station, sir.

What happened?

He entered Nam Junggil's ward

and attempted to murder him.

- That fool! - Furthermore,

Nam Junggil has awakened.

I understand. Leave.

Yes, sir.

[♪ tense music playing]

[telephone ringing]

[ringing continues]

[Baek] What if I have Nam Junggil killed first?

No.

[ringing continues]

Learn to Dance in Hawaii

- Do I flee… - [ringing continues]

…and go abroad?

I'll need more money for that.

- Much more money. - [ringing continues]

How do we convince Nam Junggil's mother?

She won't let her son confess to sexual assault and abetting in a murder.

[Yeonghan sighs]

Salute.

[bodyguards] Salute!

Did you take them under your wing, Officer Nam?

Well… [chuckles]

Actually, Nam Junggil's mother ordered you to be let in immediately.

- [sighs] - [Yeonghan] Goodness.

I apologize for the discourtesy, Detectives.

I didn't realize you were trying to protect my son.

There's no need to apologize, ma'am.

I'm just glad you understand our intention now.

But the thing is, your son isn't entirely safe yet.

[Sangsun] That's right.

Who knows what Jung Heesung might do to harm him?

Then please tell me, what can I do to get him executed?

Ah…

[Yeonghan grunts awkwardly]

Your mother loves you dearly.

Why don't you testify for your mother's sake?

Talk to us.

Jung Heesung is the one…

who killed Kim Soonjung, isn't he?

[Sangsun scoffs]

[Sangsun] Look.

If it wasn't for us,

you'd be buried right next to Kwon Hyunggeun and No Yoonhak.

You better not clam up on the people who saved your life.

Nothing will change…

even if I testify.

You know he'll get off scot-free thanks to his father.

"Nothing will change"?

[Yeonghan] Listen, you punk.

Jung Heesung faked a car accident just to kill you.

He was caught trying to choke you to death with this pillow.

And you're telling me that you'll wait for that prick

to come back and finish the job?

Testify.

Not for anyone else but yourself.

If you want to live…

you need to testify.

All of us…

told him to stop.

We told him to go easy.

- [Yoonhak laughing] - [Hyunggeun] Nice.

[Junggil] He said he was tired of Mokryeongak.

He said we could pay

the factory girls a little money

and send them back.

So we did as he said.

But that night…

the opium didn't really take effect.

When the girl started resisting,

- Heesung beat her to death. - [Hyunggeun] What do we do now?

- Hey, is she really dead? - Hyunggeun, wait.

You damned prick!

Damn it!

- What are you going to do now, you prick? - Calm down. I'll take care of it.

[telephone clanks]

Hello?

It's me, Junggil.

[Junggil] He told us about a cop who could help us

and we threw the body off a cliff.

And that cop was Baek Doseok?

Yes. He said he'd take care of it

and told us not to worry.

And it was just you three in the car that night?

Heesung had an argument with Yoonhak.

At the time, I thought Yoonhak had started the fight.

Then Jung Heesung gave you expensive alcohol to break the tension.

And that bottle made the three of you get in one car.

You all had no idea he was trying to run you all over with a truck.

I-Is this enough?

Now get that prick executed.

[scoffs]

- That won't be too easy. - [Junggil] What do you mean?

Why won't it be easy?

What can be so hard for cops to arrest and execute a murderer?

Calm down. We need evidence, all right?

Unless you're willing to testify in court.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not doing that, ever.

Come on, Junggil.

If I testify in court,

not only will Heesung be at my neck, but his dad as well.

[sighs]

[Gyeonghwan] That coward!

I knew this would happen.

[Hojeong] Without his testimony, Jung Heesung and Baek Doseok are free men.

[sighs]

Has Senior Superintendent Baek made any movements, sir?

He's been quiet,

which is all the more suspicious.

Damn it.

- [sighs] - [Sangsun groans]

Detective Park!

[Nansil panting]

Where have you been the past two days, Officer Bong?

Yangja, Boksoon, and I

convinced the people who know the missing girls to talk.

They were either their fellow boarders

or night school classmates.

- Did you find anything out? - Yes.

These are the identities of the other four missing workers.

They did hesitate at first,

but thankfully, they agreed to see us today.

[sighs]

I know how difficult it must've been to show up,

so I'd like to thank you all first.

I heard Soonjung was killed.

Is it true?

Yes, it's true.

There's no way.

Are you sure she's not back home?

Have you checked?

She was discovered in this state.

[♪ somber music playing]

We desperately need witnesses to testify in court.

I know you all must feel afraid,

but those evil pricks

need to be punished.

[victim] No, what we want…

isn't their punishment.

What we want is to forget everything

as if nothing ever happened.

But would you be able to forget?

Don't you think you'll live the rest of your lives…

with resentment in your heart?

We're only here because Officer Bong asked us to see you just once

and that she'd never contact us again if we did.

Please just leave us alone.

[soft sigh]

I understand.

I apologize…

for the painful request.

If you'll excuse us.

Wait. Just a moment.

Soonjung's mother asked me

to give you this.

Here.

[♪ plaintive music playing]

[victim sniffles]

[victim sobs softly]

She's been very worried about you all.

She says none of it is your fault.

She sincerely hopes

you can forget the past and live healthy lives.

[sniffles]

[sobbing]

So please…

don't worry too much about this matter today.

[sobbing]

[victims sobbing]

[♪ plaintive music continues playing]

[telephone dialing]

[telephone ringing]

Hello? This is Baek Doseok.

We will need to make a slight adjustment to our plans.

I apologize for only calling now. Are you currently free?

[sighs]

All right.

What exactly is this adjustment you speak of?

[inhales sharply]

I've completely changed my mind about the terms I set for you.

[Baek] And you see,

I've been thinking…

If you could muster up 100 million hwan for me,

I might feel more interested in helping you out.

What do you say?

Listen here.

How am I supposed to come up with that kind of money?

[Baek] Look.

It's not the time for you to whine.

If you'd like to see Nam Junggil's corpse…

that's the price of admission.

Meet me at Jongnam Cathedral at 11 p.m.

Don't overthink this.

I've made up my mind to leave for a warm country

in the Southern Hemisphere

and quietly spend the rest of my life fishing.

I promise you I'll never set foot in this nation again.

But 100 million hwan is just too much.

And it doesn't seem like Nam Junggil will even testify in court.

I'm sure Nam Chulwoo of the KCIA thinks otherwise.

Do you think he'll let his son's attempted killer go free?

Nam Junggil might not be inclined to testify now,

but his father could threaten you and your son at any time.

Are you really willing to let him hold and point the knife at you?

[exhales heavily]

Very well.

I'll get the money.

It's me.

This prick is out of control.

He'll be at Jongnam Cathedral at 11 p.m.

Get rid of him quietly.

It's quite late already.

You ladies should head home.

We'll walk you to the terminal.

We…

want to speak up.

[victim] Everything you said is right.

We'll go to court

and reveal the truth.

Are you all sure about this?

There's something else I need to tell you.

Please.

After what happened to me, I went back to my hometown.

I only returned a few days ago…

wanting to report what happened.

But when I did,

your senior superintendent and a detective pulled me aside

and told me…

that if I ever set foot in a police station again…

they'd kill me without anyone knowing.

[victim sobbing]

We're aware.

They're all in on this together.

I know it's tough, but please trust us and wait.

We'll catch all of them

and we'll make them pay.

[Chief Yu clicking tongue] Goodness.

Hey.

Just leave.

[Chief Yu] You worthless punk.

Why did you let your temper get the best of you?

[Heesung] Just get lost, will you?

Come on.

Imagine how worried your mother must be.

If you can't do your duty as a son,

the least you could do is not break your dear mother's heart.

You can't even call her anymore.

- I said, get lost. - [gate opens]

Fine, I'll go.

- [Jisub] Lock him up. - [officer] Yes, sir.

- [Chief Yu] Detective Oh. - [Jisub] Yes, sir?

Don't play any tricks. Watch him closely.

I need to hit the can.

Yes, sir.

Hey, you.

Who did you say you were? Detective Oh?

Yes, are you talking to me?

Yes. Let me make a call.

Just wait, sir. You'll be free in a short while.

[scoffs]

[Heesung] Here.

Happy? Go fetch me a phone now.

You see,

- the thing is… - Detective Oh.

Go get him a phone.

Yes, sir.

[Sooman] Oh, my.

Hurry up and get him a phone.

I don't need the money.

Just send your regards to your parents.

[scoffs]

All right then.

[gasps]

[♪ ominous music playing]

- [Officer Nam gasps] - Please help me.

Damn it.

- Is everything good? - [Sooman] Yes, sir.

Hey, you worthless punk.

Spend some time thinking about your worried mother?

I'd appreciate it if you stopped calling me…

a worthless punk.

What else would I call you, you worthless punk?

[shouts angrily] Stop! Stop calling me that!

My father and Senior Superintendent Baek are going to work things out.

Stop worrying about my mother and worry about your detectives.

They just might kick the bucket soon.

Is that so?

All right then.

[scoffs]

[gate opens]

[♪ ominous music playing]

- [gate closes] - [lock clicks]

[breathes heavily]

[telephone ringing]

- Hello, this is-- - [Officer Nam] It's Officer Nam, sir!

Nam Junggil has been abducted! I'll keep you updated, sir!

[♪ tense music playing]

Thank you.

[telephone ringing]

- Hello, this-- - [Chief Yu] Is Detective Park there?

Yes, just a moment.

[Hyeju] Honey, it's Chief Yu.

It's me, sir.

Detective Kang has kidnapped Nam Junggil.

Officer Nam is in pursuit. I'll call you again. Stand by.

- [car engine revving] - [gasps]

Damn it!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Baek] That way.

[telephone ringing]

Got it.

[telephone ringing]

- Hello? - Detective Kang

- is at Jongnam Cathedral. - Jongnam Cathedral.

Let's go.

[choir singing in distance]

[singing continues]

[sighs]

[exhales deeply]

Damn it. [clicks tongue]

[♪ foreboding music playing]

Damn it.

[choir singing]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[whispers] Sit down.

Come with us, Senior Superintendent Baek.

[sighs]

Sure.

- [squelches] - [churchgoer screams]

[panicked screaming]

- [squelches] - [screaming continues]

Let's go through the back.

- What happened? - Baek Doseok and Detective Kang

took Nam Junggil into the cathedral.

Are they inside? Has there been any movements?

About 10 men wearing black suits followed after.

Are there civilians inside?

The choir and people praying are still inside.

[Chief Yu] You're here, boys.

What are they doing here, sir?

They turned over a new leaf.

[Sooman] Chief Yu.

It's hard for you to walk.

Please let us escort you.

Give us a chance.

That's right.

I'll carry you on my back if I have to, sir.

[scoffs] Let's go.

Since there are civilians in the cathedral,

their safety is our first priority.

[detectives] Yes, sir.

- [gunshot] - Damn!

[panicked screaming]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

- Police! - Freeze!

[Sangsun] I wonder who you guys are.

[agent] Pull out.

Hey, get them!

- Evacuate the civilians first! - [Hojeong] Yes, sir!

- [Sangsun] Come with us! - [Gyeonghwan] Everybody, leave!

- Hurry! - Come this way!

- Go and bring Nam Junggil here, all right? - [♪ dramatic suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct clamoring]

[Hojeong] Come this way!

[Baek] Come here.

[churchgoer screaming]

Baek Doseok!

Damn it.

[Sooman] Don't move, you punk! Stay down!

- You stay down! Everyone, evacuate now! - [grunts]

- Everybody, leave! - Don't move.

- You stay. Get out, everyone! - Don't move.

[fighting grunts]

Get out now!

Not you, you punk!

[Chief Yu] Stay down!

- Come on, you need to help them. - All right.

- Let's go. - Everybody, out! Out now!

[churchgoer whimpering]

Come here.

- Shut up. Shut up! - [sobbing] Please spare me.

- Quiet. - Please.

[muffled whimpering]

- [gun cocks] - Baek Doseok!

[panicked sobbing]

- Please save me. - Ah!

- You! - [churchgoer screams]

Aren't you tired of this?

Drop your gun now!

Do you really want to see

another pregnant woman with a bullet through her?

Do you want me to kill her for old-time's sake?

[churchgoer whimpers]

- [thwacks] - [citizen sobbing]

I'm carrying a child.

Please spare me.

[rifle cocks, fires]

[♪ somber music playing]

[churchgoer whimpers]

Drop your gun.

Put it on the ground and kick it to me.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Detective Kang.

If Nam Junggil dies, it's over for both of us.

Let him go.

Just fight it out with me.

[bullets clattering]

If you beat me, I'll let you go.

[scoffs]

- [grunts] - [Detective Kang groans]

[grunting]

[both grunting]

Kick the gun to me.

[Baek] Drop your gun!

Drop it.

- [churchgoer choking] - Drop it now!

[♪ tense music playing]

[churchgoer whimpers, breathes heavily]

Now kick it over to me.

I said, kick it to me!

[gun clatters]

[breathes heavily]

- Hey, you punk. - [sobbing]

I've always wondered. Are you a complete moron?

Or is it just that you never change?

How are you still the same, student soldier?

[scoffs]

There's no turning back for you now, is there?

I never turn back, you punk.

Don't move.

Damn you.

- [groans] - You're under arrest for the murder

of Kwon Hyunggeun and No Yoonhak and harboring Kim Soonjung's killer.

[sighs]

I really didn't want to do this.

- [shouts, bites] - [Detective Kang screams in pain]

- [grunts] - Let go, you prick!

[gun clicking]

[Baek groans]

Come here.

[shouts]

So?

What did you get in return?

A fancy new title? Some money?

I see what happened.

I can tell you've been stabbed blindly in the back.

Too bad for you. [breathing heavily]

There's nothing you can do now.

You pathetic student soldier!

- [Yeonghan groans] - [grunting]

- [grunts] - [Baek groans]

You punk!

[Baek] Listen.

Do you know why people like you always fail?

It's because of your foolish conscience and sloppy sense of justice, you idiot.

That's all fake.

It's all hypocrisy.

No matter how hard you try,

you'll never be more than a student soldier, you fool.

- [grunts] - [breathes heavily]

You're wrong.

Look how far I've come.

[grunts]

[Baek groans]

[Baek panting]

Get up. Get up, you punk!

[gun cocks]

[panting]

[yelps]

Baek Doseok.

You're under arrest for abducting Nam Junggil,

abetting in the Jongnam Intersection accident,

and destroying evidence at Kim Soonjung's crime scene…

along with other charges.

[shouts] Just kill me now!

Never.

No matter what happens, I'm going to get you to trial

and have you executed by the law.

And I'll do the same for hundreds and thousands of criminals like you.

[panting]

Farewell.

[hurried footsteps approaching]

[handcuffs rattling, clicking]

[Detective Kang] It wasn't me.

I didn't do it.

I swear it wasn't me!

I'm an innocent man!

[whimpers] Please.

- [keys jangling] - [lock clicks]

[prison guard] Get him in.

[Detective Kang shouts] I'm not going in!

I didn't do anything!

Over here. Why can't you clean better?

Yes, sir.

- Faster! - [Junggil] I'm sorry.

[chuckling softly]

Why is this so hard to clean?

[anchor] Next up on the news.

It has been revealed that an official from Jongnam Police Station

was the perpetrator in last month's car accident at Jongnam Intersection,

leaving many in shock in the community.

Inmate code, 1RA 07. Name, Baek Doseok.

Is that correct?

Yes.

[breathing heavily]

[prison guard] Any last words?

No.

[anchor] To much shock,

the tragic accident was proven to be a murder case.

The two perpetrators,

Baek, the former Senior Superintendent of Jongnam Station,

and Jung, once the son of a high-ranking man

but estranged from his family,

were both brought to justice on the 24th

as they faced the full weight of the law.

[all cheering]

[♪ light music playing]

[exhales deeply]

- [door opens, closes] - [door bell jingling]

Welcome…

Honey.

Look what I brought, honey.

What is all that?

I was passing by Jongnam Department Store when I thought of our baby.

Let's see.

[gasps]

Look. Isn't it cute?

- It's adorable. - [chuckles]

[Yeonghan exclaims] It'll look great on our baby.

Is there something wrong, honey?

No, nothing's wrong.

Are you sure?

You always bring gifts to mask how you feel when you're worried.

Uh… [sighs]

You can tell me.

What's wrong?

It's about this case.

I desperately wanted Jung Byungpil to be punished by the law.

But I guess that was beyond my powers.

I keep feeling ashamed of myself

that I couldn't do more.

Come here.

[♪ soft music playing]

[Hyeju] Ta-da.

What's this?

Try it on.

- Are you sure I can? - It's yours.

[soft chuckle]

Wow.

[Hyeju gasps]

Goodness, it looks great on you.

Now, let's think about what a great person you are.

The Angel House babies,

Sungchil, Soonjung, and…

I could go on all day.

There's one too many to count.

Do you mean the people I couldn't save?

[Hyeju] No.

Those are all the times you caught the bad guys

so the innocent could rest in peace.

With all the criminals you've caught

and all the rest you'll catch in the future,

imagine how much cleaner the world will get.

And our baby will be proud to have a dad like you.

So whenever you wear this,

always remember that.

Will you do that?

Yes, I will.

I want to apologize too.

I feel like I've neglected you because of how busy I've been.

You haven't. It's all right.

I love you, honey.

[soft chuckle] I love you too.

[soft chuckle]

You're all I have.

Actually, I have you and our baby now.

- [Hyeju] That's right. - [both chuckle]

[Hyeju] Cheer up, honey.

We've caught the barbershop attacker and the Kwangkyo-dong thief duo.

Are there any cases left?

No, we've closed all our cases.

Not even any unsolved ones?

What about the intersection pickpockets?

They're in the interrogation room after turning themselves into Unit 2.

- [chuckling] - Why not to us?

Why else?

They heard what you did in the cathedral.

- What? - You mean the rumors

that he stabs people with candlesticks and burns people with iron?

Yes, he's now known

as the devil-hunting angel of Jongnam, Archangel Michael.

- You guys are ridiculous. - [laughter]

If you have time to joke around,

you should go take cases off the other units.

Yeonghan.

I don't know if we're on the right track to justice.

We've caught countless bad guys, but the world hasn't changed a bit.

Who says it hasn't?

One bad guy locked up means that crime is reduced by that much.

And the world turns that much better.

But then more bad guys show up, and it's just rinse and repeat.

Why are you so negative--

- [door opens] - [Officer Nam] Detective! Detective Park!

He was caught snatching!

We'll have the report and his warrant done by today.

You can trust us!

- [Officer Nam] Don't move! - Officer Bong.

Catching a criminal isn't even half of it.

Sorry?

It isn't?

- [soft chuckle] - [knocks on door]

[Yeonghan] Oh?

- We missed you, sir! - Sir!

How have you two been?

Here you go. That's hot.

Eat up.

[visitor] I'd like to dedicate something to you first, sir.

Dedicate what?

- [visitor] I got an award. - What?

It's the first I've ever received.

I got one too.

Thanks to you, I learned to read and write.

I can even read books now.

[soft chuckle] Let's see.

"For serving as a model to the other inmates

with his kind heart and warm smile…"

[chuckles]

And you won first place for a book report?

Yes, the title was The man I respect most,

Detective Park.

- [visitors chuckle] - [laughs awkwardly]

I'm disappointed you left us out.

We even visited you in jail and wrote you letters.

I guess they just don't respect us yet.

No, it's all thanks to you we were released early for good behavior.

Thank you all so much.

As your sign of gratitude, you better live an honest life

so we don't see you at the station.

We promise to be honest and hardworking.

Starting at dawn, we'll be shining shoes.

Don't bother competing with the territorial shoeshines.

Just work here instead.

Sorry, sir?

Goodness, that's a good idea.

You two can shine all of the detectives' shoes here.

[both] Thank you. Thank you.

Let's see. This is my payment for tomorrow.

Shine them well.

Let's see here. Any chance of a discount, boys?

This is for all of next week.

Here, this is for the month.

[both] Thank you.

- Eat up. - [visitor] Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[Yeonghan] See you tomorrow, boys.

[visitors] Goodbye.

[Sangsun] Why are you guys all gathered here?

[detectives] Congratulations.

What for?

Take a look.

Wait, is this real?

So he's no longer Chief Yu,

- but Senior Superintendent Yu now! - [chuckles]

Finally, Chief Yu!

Chief Yu's worries are all over now! [chuckles]

[Sangsun chuckles]

[Gyeonghwan and Sangsun chuckle]

- Did you get the intersection pickpockets? - Goodness me.

[laughs]

That's not what's important, sir.

We just saw the notice of your promotion, sir.

Senior Superintendent Yu!

When I heard the National Police called you in,

I thought it was for another scolding.

You saw the notice?

Well, it just happened.

Are you putting on an air of dignity now, sir?

Dignity? No.

Just don't make a fuss about it.

If not now, then when?

Guys. Everyone. We need to celebrate, don't you think?

- [chuckles] - [detectives] Yes!

[detectives chanting] Senior Superintendent Yu!

- [applause] - Senior Superintendent Yu!

Senior Superintendent Yu!

- Senior Superintendent Yu! - That's enough!

Fine, I'll buy you all a drink!

[detectives cheering]

[whooping]

Wait a minute. Hold up.

I wonder who's going to be the chief of Unit 1 now.

There's this guy I've had my eye on for years.

He'll do great. I knew from the very beginning.

Who is it?

Please don't tell me it's someone from a different station.

I'm shy with new people.

[Sangsun] Can you not read the room?

[Chief Yu] Detective Seo.

Don't worry about that.

Your new chief is right here.

Me?

The best cow thief catcher in Gyeonggi-do.

The best violent criminal catcher in Jongnam.

He's Hwangchun and Jongnam's pride, Park Yeonghan!

That's right!

Who else could be the chief of Unit 1?

Right, no one else could handle the Mad Dog and Brown Bear of Jongnam!

- [sighs] - Chief Park. Chief Park!

- My goodness. - [laughter]

I look forward to working with you,

Chief Park of Unit 1.

[♪ thrilling action music playing]

I'm happy to serve you, sir.

- [Chief Yu chuckles] - [soft chuckle]

[cheering] Chief Park!

[detectives cheering]

- Stop! Stop it! - [laughter]

[Nansil] Detectives!

[shouts] Hey, detectives!

A burglar is robbing the Goryeo Jewelry Store!

But we're celebrating his promotion.

The celebration can wait. We need to go and solve the case.

- We'll be back, sir. - Take care.

Let's go!

[detectives] Yes, sir!

[Sangsun] Chief Park!

[detectives chanting] Chief Park!

[♪ thrilling music playing]

[laughter]

[server] Welcome.

Listen.

- Do you remember that time-- - [elder 1] Quiet.

All right.

- [elder 2] So… - He's here.

[elder 1] Here you are, sir.

Salute!

Welcome, sir.

It's been a while.

[elders] Have a seat. Sit down.

- [old Yeonghan] Sit down. - Yes, sir.

Why did you have me come to this expensive place?

[elder 2] It's not expensive at all.

Enjoy whatever you'd like.

You know the rice thief during the May 16 coup?

- Yes. - Apparently, he changed his ways

and has gathered some wealth now.

Goodness, he's one to talk.

The gangster of Jongnam Intersection has changed too.

- Do you still pack a punch? - [chuckles]

[elder 1] Come on, stop it.

Here.

- Enjoy, sir. - [chuckles]

Congratulations, sir.

- For what? - [glasses clink]

For Junseo receiving a commendation for catching Jung Hochul.

[chuckles] Well, it's a cop's job to catch criminals.

He still deserves that commendation

for getting that evil punk.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, wouldn't you say?

He's just like Yeonghan.

[old Yeonghan chuckles]

Junseo has a long way to go.

Don't you remember how terrifying Yeonghan used to be?

You're right. I used to be scared out of my mind.

Back in those days, one look at Yeonghan's face

- could make me crap my pants. - [chuckles]

Anyway, I hope you eat well and stay healthy.

We'll take care of everything else for you.

You two take care of yourselves.

- Now that I see your face again… - Yes.

…I miss Sangsun.

I also miss Gyeonghwan and Hojeong so much.

I miss the dashing Nam Sunghoon

and the beautiful Officer Bong.

[♪ soft somber music playing]

[exhales sharply, clears throat]

[old Yeonghan] Thank you for the food.

[all chuckling]

- Yeonghan. - Yes?

Just have one more drink at my place.

I'll cook you a chicken, sir.

[chuckles]

Thank you, but I have to go.

- Just one more drink, sir. - I've had enough.

I've got something to do tomorrow.

Don't tell me you're secretly dating someone.

[chuckling]

All right, now.

Yeonghan. [sniffles]

Thank you so much…

for helping us become better.

[old Yeonghan] Goodness.

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

- Don't even mention it. - [elder 1 sobbing]

[elder 2] I love you, Yeonghan.

- [old Yeonghan chuckles] - [sobbing continues]

[♪ soft music playing]

[pants]

Here it is. [pants]

[chuckles]

[old Yeonghan chuckles]

Detective Kim.

It's been a while, Sangsun.

Goodness.

Detective Jo.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Detective Jo.

Goodness.

Heejeong visits me sometimes. [soft chuckle]

Detective Seo.

How have you been?

I always miss you.

I think of you whenever I go to Busan.

[soft chuckle]

[♪ wistful music playing]

Detective Nam.

How are you?

I hope you're still healthy.

You look dashing to this day. [chuckles, sniffles]

Chief Yu.

Here lies Yu Daecheon

Goodness.

[grunts]

I missed you so much.

I really did.

[sniffles]

[♪ wistful music continues playing]

I really wish

I could just live here. [chuckles]

Actually, not long ago,

Lee Gyein and Song Kyungchul came to see me.

Jang Doosik

and Park Soomyung…

also visit me often.

Without all of you here…

they try to cheer me up.

[sniffles]

Goodness.

Recently…

I've missed you all so much

that I can't sleep.

[grunts]

[clears throat]

Did I fall asleep?

The sun is setting already.

I should go.

Goodbye then.

[♪ wistful music continues playing]

I'll see you again.

Right.

It must be nice…

to be here together.

I'm going now.

Goodbye now.

[chuckles]

Take care.

[chuckles]

[Hojeong] Hello.

My name is Seo Hojeong, and I passed the 18th special recruitment test.

[Sooman] Jongnam Station's best talent blew up the Senior Superintendent's car.

Let's work together.

[Yeonghan] A cop should do what cops do.

[Hojeong] Take a look at this.

[Chief Yu] With Zhuge Liang joining our unit…

[Yeonghan] And look at Hojeong. He's a real man now.

It means the perps are former military.

[Sangsun] Are those rice sacks full of cotton or what?

How is he doing that?

[Yeonghan] Would you like to be a cop?

How did you find that out though?

- [grunts] - [Gyeonghwan] We convinced him earnestly.

We poured our hearts into it.

[Yeonghan] Not your muscles?

[Gyeonghwan] I thought police work would be boring,

- but it's like being on a battlefield. - [shouts]

[grunts]

I'm ready.

[♪ thrilling action music playing]

[Yeonghan] The Biter of Dogs, Kim Sangsun.

[Sangsun] I hate even looking at the chief and the others.

[Yeonghan] What I'm trying to say is, people like us need to stick together.

[Sangsun] The world may have changed,

but the real thieves keep growing in number.

I'm here with your sawdust, you dusty punks!

I was a lot smaller and weaker than you as a kid…

[sniffles, shouts]

- …so I came up… - Freeze!

…with my own way of fighting.

- Biting as hard as I could. - [screams in pain]

The bullies eventually run away

if you keep biting.

I wish Soonnam would turn into a human.

[Chief Yu] The best cow thief catcher in Gyeonggi-do.

[Yeonghan] Catching cow thieves involves every skill

- a detective needs to be good at. - [laughs]

Only one thing should matter to a detective.

Protect the weak.

And beat the crap out of bad guys.

All I wanted…

was to keep the people closest to me from dying in vain.

And those are rules I've never broken until now.

- [Ms. Ho wailing] - I'm going to get you no matter what.

[Yeonghan] Arrest them all!

Little pricks like you

should be eliminated early on for everyone's sake.

In what world does a cop help out a suspect?

Scum up to no good could be 100 years old

and still be beneath me.

There's no punk in this world that can't be caught.

[Sangsun] Look how much the world has changed,

but it's like we're stuck.

[Yeonghan] What are you talking about? We've all changed.

[Chief Yu] That's why people like us

need to take the side of the powerless.

Do you regret becoming a cop?

[splutters] Definitely not.

[Yeonghan] It's a fact

that those who do evil will pay for what they've done.
