ROOKIE COPS

EPISODE 3

(suspenseful music)

(sighs)

If the camera was rolling,

there's got to be a charger somewhere.

Where did she put it?

-(cellphone beeps) -(phone line ringing)

(breathes heavily)

It's got to be here somewhere.

(object clatters)

(suspenseful music continues)

(door clanks)

(doorknob slowly creaking)

(door opens)

SAVE ENERGY

Hey. I forgot something.

Gosh, where is it?

(foreboding music)

(thrilling music)

(suspenseful music)

EUNKANG: Looking for this?

Could you explain what this is?

To me, it looks like a spy cam charger. Why do you have this?

-Give it. -You're the one who did it, right?

-Give it to me. -Answer me. Did you film it?

Answer me! You filmed it, didn't you?

(screaming) Get off me!

(yelps) Let go!

(Eunkang screaming)

What are they doing?

(both panting)

-Give it! -Let go!

I said let go of me!

(students clamoring)

We, Training Corps, all agreed that she should be expelled.

What's the Student Council's opinion?

We're collecting opinions from each year.

It's going to take a while because we're on break now.

Make sure to be careful this doesn't get out.

(Insik sighing)

INSIK: Why do we have to have a freshman like her?

I knew she'd be trouble

when she said, "I wasn't dozing" to Sunyu.

I almost hit her when she said that.

-What does that mean? -Never mind.

-(approaching rapid footsteps) -(door opens)

(both panting)

-What's going on? -The spy cam. I mean...

I found out whose spy cam it was. (panting)

HANNA: No.

It wasn't me.

(dramatic music)

YUGON: Then why do you have this charger?

That's...

a phone charger.

You're not allowed to keep your phone during the training period.

I apologize.

My mom is ill.

I'm her only family,

so I was keeping a phone and a charger in case of an emergency.

(dramatic music)

NAME: GI HANNA NOTE: SINGLE-PARENT FAMILY

(breathes heavily)

Would you excuse us?

Yes, sir.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Have a seat.

JUCHAN: Your mom called.

I called you back, but your phone was off, so I thought you must be in training.

I know it's late, but congratulations.

Thanks. (chuckles)

(sips)

It must have been tough.

It was. You have no idea how tough it was.

(grumbles) Don't even get me started.

It's only been a few days, but I feel like I got years older.

(slurps)

It's not a joke.

Why didn't you tell me this place was like this?

They give us punishments all the time.

I feel like I'm in the army.

They even check if we doze off or not during class.

-And they caught you dozing. -No, I wasn't dozing.

She saw it wrong.

She always has her cap pulled all the way down to her eyes,

squinting her eyes like this. I'm sure she can't see anything right.

(gasps)

How did you know?

Did you hear it from that girl?

She's not "that girl". She's your senior.

(clears throat)

Anyway, you heard from her.

Man, that's so mean of her. I had no idea she was like that.

She's a little strange.

Eunkang.

-She's not the person you think she is. -What?

-I mean... -Not anyone can be in the Training Corps.

They get special training for over six months before Cheongram Education.

This is a final test to see if the freshmen will survive four years here.

So take it seriously.

Okay.

And you should call me sir at school.

Okay.

(emotive music)

You don't need to be intimidated, though.

(both chuckle)

By the way, Juchan...

I mean, sir.

When you heard about the spy cam, did you think I did it too?

Of course not.

I know you.

(uplifting music)

(laughs)

Let's go.

-You did great. -Thanks.

TELEPHONE

JUCHAN: Be careful.

(Janitress laughing)

JANITRESS: Anyway, don't worry about it.

Just send me everything you have left there.

My grandchildren are helping me, so it won't take long.

Okay, bye.

(laughs)

(Janitress humming)

Hey! My goodness.

Fold it nicely.

The price of the defective ones gets deducted from the wage.

-Okay. -There you go, good.

But ma'am, we really were going to pay for them...

later.

You saw the memo, right?

Oh, no. I didn't.

But how can I trust you?

JANITRESS: Anyway,

make sure to have them all pasted

by the time I come back. Okay?

Or I'll tell the Training Corps everything.

Okay?

ALL: Yes, ma'am.

♪ I like ♪

♪ You ♪

(both sigh)

-JANITRESS: One, two. -(door closes)

This is going to take forever.

(sighs) We're not getting any sleep tonight.

Damn it!

Where did that bastard Seunghyun go?

(sighs)

What's taking her so long?

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

(footsteps approaching)

You're doing great. See you around.

EUNKANG: Bye.

(footsteps receding)

-SEUNGHYUN: Hey. -(gasps)

-You scared me. -What's with you?

-I heard you found who did it. -How did you know?

You guys were brawling. Everyone knows about it.

But how did you know the charger was there?

Well, obviously, it was right under my nose.

There was only one place to hide it. So I searched our room first.

(laughs)

Anyway, you did make a contribution to this.

I have to admit it.

But why would she do that?

I don't know. They should figure it out soon.

HANNA: Pardon?

I said try charging it.

(suspenseful music)

Okay.

YUGON: It doesn't fit, right?

Because it's not a phone charger.

(suspenseful music continues)

(camera beeps)

Who gave it to you?

This is not something students can easily get.

MAN: It's a Russian model. It was used about seven to eight years ago.

We used to use it too, but not anymore. Its battery life is too short.

Can anyone just buy this?

MAN: Not sure. It won't be impossible to find one, but it won't be worth it.

Why? You need a spy cam?

No.

I just got curious while preparing for a class.

(breathes deeply)

I know it was random. KNPU colleagues are the best.

-Thanks, man. -Yes. Why don't you thank me in person?

You've been cooped up in school since you came back to Korea.

Sounds good. I'll call you.

(cellphone beeps)

Tell me. Who gave it to you?

(sighs)

(object clatters)

(keypad clacks)

(tense suspenseful music)

YUGON: Unlock it.

-Pardon? -Come on.

(keypad clacking, beeps)

It's an emergency phone, so that must be your mother's number.

you'll have to explain it clearly why you did this.

A spy cam?

NAMGI: It needs to be charged every eight hours.

Here's the charger.

ADMINISTRATION OFFICE

And use this if you need to call me.

What if I get caught? There are security cameras in the dorm.

There will be ceiling repairs tomorrow.

All the security cameras there will be taken away. Don't worry.

I checked everything.

(machine whirring)

(thrilling music)

HANNA: But why do you...

I'll tell you why later.

Please do me this favor.

(thrilling music continues)

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

BUMJU: So she was just playing innocent?

I had no idea she was like that.

I knew there was something fishy about her.

She's got those slanted eyes, and her eyebrows are always tense.

Which means she's an anxious person.

You see, physiognomy is science.

-Do you know physiognomy? -Do you want me to read your face too?

Let me see.

-"Is this the face of a future king?" -Stop it!

Stop chattering and focus on work. We've got to finish this by today.

I'm sorry. We should keep it up.

Hurry up!

(smacks lips, sighs)

Hey, Seunghyun, put some saliva on it so it's pasted nicely.

You're so sloppy, man.

Hey, Bumju. What is this?

-Do it again. -What are you doing?

Me? Supervising.

Who told you to supervise? Can't you see we need extra hands here?

Gosh, you...

You don't know anything.

Listen. When you do something as a group,

you need a conductor to make the system work.

I'm checking what's slowing us down and controlling the speed.

I'm also checking for quality.

Shut up.

-Then who should supervise... -Just sit down.

(sighs)

Fine. Supervisors work in the field too sometimes.

DAEIL: Let me help you out.

(Daeil sighs)

SEUNGHYUN: This is taking ages.

They're going to turn off the lights soon.

BUMJU: Right.

-What took you so long? -They switched just now.

Didn't he find it suspicious?

My method acting is top-notch, you know.

(chuckles)

Hurry. We did a lot.

Where's Tak?

Okay.

(quirky music)

(Daeil sighs)

Look at what we're doing because of some noodles.

I'm going to be traumatized by noodles.

TAK: It's because you brought too many at once.

You should have made it subtle.

What? Are you saying it's my fault?

(scoffs)

You are the one who ate the most.

Do you have amnesia or what?

We all ate it evenly.

(scoffs) "Evenly"?

I saw you pick up a lot of noodles at once. Have some manners.

TAK: Hey. Come on out. Come on!

Come on out!

SEUNGHYUN: Can we just get this done and go to bed? I'm so sleepy.

(Seunghyun yawning)

Sorry. I shouldn't have told you guys about the noodles.

Forget it. We all agreed to eat it.

(sighs)

This is not what I expected to do here.

(imitates radio noise)

(imitates radio noise)

Detective Lee Jaehan.

Do you guys do this too?

(Daeil whimpering) Is it... the same over there?

If you have money...

If you have money...

-...and connections... -...and connections...

...can you have a good life no matter how trashy you are?

(Daeil crying)

(shuddering)

But 20 years have passed.

Something's got to have changed.

Right?

(Daeil sobs)

No. No, it hasn't.

Detective

Lee Jaehan.

Can you...

hear me?

(thunder cracks, rumbles)

Did you just answer?

You really answered...

(whimpering)

(thunder cracks)

DAEIL: Detective Lee!

-TAK: Who on earth is Lee Jaehan? -DAEIL: Obviously,

he's the reason why I'm here.

You know what?

If I become a cop and get to work on old cold cases,

I believe I can work with him one day...

But that's a TV show.

-How can you meet him? -(laughs)

Dude, you need an imagination.

Gosh, you weirdo. Stop it.

-It was just lightning. -You guys aren't sentimental at all.

How are you going to communicate with the people?

Huh?

(groans)

DAEIL: What do I smell?

I smell something bad.

(Tak sighs)

(flashes)

Kim Tak!

-BUMJU: Darn it, -DAEIL: It's you, right? Kim Tak!

DAEIL: Darn it, Kim Tak! Detective!

Kim Tak, you're so dead. Hey!

(groaning)

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

So you're saying you wanted to let people know

that your roommate quitting was unfair.

-Am I right? -Yes, ma'am.

One of my roommates dropped out only three days after being punished.

HANNA: I thought it must not be repeated,

so I decided to disclose what happened during Cheongram...

You should have talked to the school first

if you had problems with the Training Corps.

HEESUN: Don't you think?

(dramatic music)

I couldn't voice my complaint under the pressure.

If I had done that, I would have been punished.

So you were going to let it out to the public?

I just thought I could use some external pressure.

I realize I was thoughtless, but I hope you believe I meant well.

HEESUN: Police work is done based on the law.

That means illegal actions can't be excused by good intentions.

Aside from everything else,

how would you arrest spy cam criminals when you become a cop

when you have done it yourself?

There's no need to discuss this further. According to school regulations,

you are expelled.

You can raise an objection, but it'll be a waste of time.

Because it won't change the outcome.

The disciplinary committee is now closed.

Can I raise my objections somewhere else?

(thrilling music)

Can I post on social media or file a petition about the violence...

committed here?

(thrilling music continues)

If I'm not a student here,

there's no reason for me

to cover it up.

SOONYOUNG: This is not about the spy cam anymore.

It's now about school violence.

I'll talk to the student again.

YUGON: She didn't seem easy to deal with.

Even a mouse can bite a cat when it's cornered.

And that girl was about to bite you.

-Professor Cha. -YUGON: I'm sorry if it offends you.

I was just trying to say we cannot solve this problem

by coaxing the girl.

SOONYOUNG: What's your opinion, Professor Cha?

Do you think we should cancel the expulsion?

If that's necessary, yes.

(breathes deeply) This was going to happen eventually.

We're training these kids the same way that I was trained.

Of course they'd oppose it.

In these circumstances,

we may as well reform Cheongram Education radically.

Professor Cha!

Besides, the Training Corps' verbal abuse and punishments

will be a bigger problem in the future.

Punishment is a part of education.

Those things are done for a reason.

These kids that you're talking about don't know anything

about patience, the spirit of self-sacrifice, and unity.

Those spoiled kids won't listen if we're soft-spoken and nice to them.

They will. They're not kids. They're over 20. They're adults.

This school has its traditions.

Everything here is done our way.

Tradition?

Tell me. What exactly is that?

Why on earth do you always...

fight in my office?

Does this place get your chatterbox going? Does it make you feel more combatant?

I apologize.

I apologize.

I understand what you're saying, Professor Cha,

and I understand what you're saying too, Professor Bang.

This time, let's do what Professor Cha says.

Ma'am.

CONTROVERSY OVER THE ABOLITION OF KNPU ARISES

Apparently, the majority of

last year's law school freshmen were KNPU graduates.

People are upset that their tax dollars are spent making lawyers instead of cops.

They say it's technically stealing.

The public is not on our side.

So let's not make a big deal out of it.

(door opens)

I'm sorry.

I wish I could say anything to make you feel better.

(clears throat)

Are you going to keep ignoring me?

(clicks tongue)

Well, I know you were just scared. And since you're apologizing,

I'll be a bigger person and accept your apology.

Although, this doesn't mean I'm not upset anymore.

(whimpers)

Okay!

I promise I'll be better.

Ew. Say that to your boyfriend.

-Come on. Don't be like that. -Gosh, what are you doing?

-Let go. -Hey, they announced the punishment.

(students clamoring)

ANNOUNCEMENT

SUBJECT: FRESHMAN GI HANNA DISCIPLINARY MEASURE: 3 MONTHS' PROBATION

ARI: Probation?

That's nonsense.

Probation isn't a light punishment either.

She can't leave the school for three months.

But this is just not right. It's not fair.

Eunkang was almost expelled.

That leaves a bad taste in my mouth too.

ARI: Does she have connections here?

(clears throat)

JUYOUNG: Hey. What's up?

-Water. -Oh, water. Sure.

-What are you doing here? -Oh, nothing.

What did you do?

(sighs)

Fine.

I don't know what you did, but you owe me an apology.

You haven't apologized to me yet.

Apologize for what?

Oh, you mean for the spy cam from your jacket?

I didn't do it.

You must have taken my jacket by mistake.

So you don't have to apologize to me?

Don't you know your spy cam almost got me expelled?

Is it so upsetting?

-What? -You didn't even get accepted at first.

You got in by luck. There's nothing to be upset about.

If you have a problem with my punishment, talk to the school,

not to me.

(paper riffles)

(gasps)

(scoffs)

Do you wish your colleague to be expelled?

That's not what I'm saying, sir. I just wonder...

HYUK: If not,

stop making trouble.

This is an orientation period.

So stop distracting other students.

Has it ever occurred to you that your attitude

is distracting other students from learning?

-But... -If you have nothing else, leave.

That's cowardly.

It's unfair you're implying that I want my colleague to be expelled.

I just wanted to know

why she only got probation when I was almost expelled.

I wanted to know what changed the principle.

(dramatic music)

(door closes)

I think we need to explain to her about the punishment on Ms. Gi.

She's just a freshman. We don't need to explain everything.

All we need to do is follow the school's instructions.

(paper riffles)

No way.

-I heard they weren't even close. -Really?

That's so scary.

(students whispering indistinctly)

(indistinct chattering)

(dramatic music continues)

(indistinct chatter)

There's been so much going on lately. The training's tough, right?

I apologize for the disorder.

It's all my fault.

No, it's okay.

I didn't call you in to blame you.

About the punishment on Ms. Gi.

That was the best decision our school could make.

What she did was wrong, of course,

but the Training Corps was also partially at fault.

If the kids who quit file complaints regarding the punishments,

the school will get in bigger trouble.

We needed to consider all those circumstances.

So I hope you understand.

But there's a chance that the students won't accept Ms. Gi as their junior.

Well, that'll be up to Ms. Gi.

Try to stay unbiased and keep an eye on her.

(ominous music)

KNPU, THE CRADLE OF GLOBAL TALENTS

...seventy-two, seventy-three, seventy-four.

Hey.

Throw it already.

You were lucky. You know that?

Thanks to the spy cam issue, Ms. Gi got all the attention.

If that hadn't happened, we would all have died.

From now on, you've got to behave yourself.

Many of our colleagues turned away from you,

but I didn't abandon you.

Because we're friends.

What a shame. I could have ended being friends with you.

(chuckles) Do you know what I think?

We should live together and die together since we're in this room.

Once a roomie always a roomie.

Bumju! Seunghyun!

(munching)

-What? -You're creepy.

I see.

I think your poop smells creepier.

How could you do it so quietly?

You poopy pants.

-Stop it. -Stop what?

-Come here. -You come here.

-I'm going to go down now. -Come! Come down!

TAK: Come here!

Hey.

(playful music)

(both grunting)

(laughing)

I, Yoo Daeil, am the greatest.

(Insik sighs)

What's wrong with this year's freshmen?

(sighs)

They've got no respect.

(scoffs) We would have never been like that.

I think we should beat some sense into them.

I don't think that's a good idea. What if someone reports it?

Besides, one of the freshmen is an executive officer's son.

MYUNGHOON: We shouldn't mess with him.

INFORMATION

(indistinct chattering)

Guys! We need to be assembled at the gym after cleaning.

-What? -Not now.

TO GI HANNA EVERYONE ASSEMBLE AT THE GYM BY 9 P.M.

GYMNASIUM

STUDENTS: I affirm that I will be an honest

and honorable KNPU student

who will not give in to injustice.

Honest and honorable student?

Possessing prohibited items, dressing untidily,

losing school supplies, bad behavior.

Is that being honorable?

STUDENTS: No, sir.

(screaming) Answer loudly, you idiots!

STUDENTS: No, sir.

Those who failed to follow such easy rules saying you're tired and you forgot.

HYUK: Stand up now.

Hurry and stand up!

I lost the gloves during the training.

I dozed off during a special lecture.

I was late to the common area cleaning.

(dramatic music)

(grunting)

Is that it?

(foreboding music)

Why are there only 11 girls?

Who's not here?

(screaming) Answer me! Who's not here?

I think it's Gi Hanna.

(knocks on door)

(knocks on door)

What are you doing here?

-Pardon? -Didn't you know about the assembly?

I didn't hear anything about it.

HANNA: I didn't see it.

The note was right on the door.

And you didn't see it?

I really didn't see it.

HYUK: Has anyone filmed it secretly?

Let's see what happened.

You didn't film it this time?

Make 30 laps around the gym.

Now.

Yes, sir.

(students clamoring)

(breathes heavily)

Looks like she might pass out.

INSIK: Leave it.

She needed that.

We've got to teach her a lesson.

(sighs)

Gosh, a lesson?

What lesson?

-Are you really going? -Yeah.

There's a procedure to filing complaints.

You can't just walk into the dean's office.

File a complaint with the Training Corps first...

I can't talk to the Training Corps. They're the problem.

I need to talk to the highest authority, the dean.

If you're not coming with me, move.

(sighs)

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY

FEBRUARY

SOONYOUNG: So you wanted to talk to me.

I'd like to hear what it is.

Ms. Kim. Do you know what happened last night?

It was reported this morning that there was a small accident.

A small accident?

A student was taken to the hospital while receiving punishment.

-How is that a small accident? -It happens during training.

But it wasn't normal training.

-(Heesun sighs) -What does that mean?

She was punished out of spite because of the spy cam.

Everyone knows it.

Ms. Go.

I also think what she did was wrong.

But she's already being punished for what she did.

I think it's wrong to give her extra punishment

out of personal grudge.

SOONYOUNG: Hmm...

Okay.

I see.

Is there anything else you want to say?

-Then you may... -EUNKANG: Yes, there is.

Isn't using a spy cam supposed to result in an expulsion?

When I was being framed, I was told I'd be expelled.

But she just got a light punishment.

To be honest, it seems unfair.

But now that I think about it,

it's kind of unfair for her too.

Taking secret videos is bad,

but kicking and beating people is worse.

But none of those people are getting punished.

She must be pretty upset.

Beatings don't make us into great police officers.

It only makes us rebellious. I can assure you that.

-Do you find the Training Corps unjust? -Yes, I do.

But society is even more unjust.

(emotive music)

You'll see even more upsetting

and even more unfair things happening all the time.

Will you yell your complaints suddenly like this whenever that happens?

SOONYOUNG: I see you're upset because your colleague got hurt,

but I've seen

a colleague stabbed to death by a criminal

and shredded to death by a dog right before my eyes.

Compared to dealing with felons and psychopaths like that,

the training you think is so hard is just...

(laughs)

...child's play.

Being patient is part of the training.

Your friend will be treated well, so don't worry,

and keep working hard until the training is over.

-But... -HEESUN: You should go now.

(somber music)

(somber music continues)

How did it go?

I told you. It's like banging your head against the wall.

You'll only end up hurting yourself.

You may not be able to break down the wall,

but you can make some marks at least.

Even if nothing changes,

I just wished to let them know something's wrong. But...

(sighs)

If you really want to change it,

you should talk to the person involved. Don't avoid it.

As long as that person doesn't realize it's a problem,

nothing will change.

HYUK: Who was it that went to the dean's office?

Come out!

I did, sir.

(approaching rapid footsteps)

-(thuds) -(grunts)

(groans)

HYUK: You little brat. Am I a joke to you?

-Stand up. -(breathes heavily)

No...

You're not.

-I'm scared of you. -What did you say there?

Answer me!

I said it was wrong to beat students like this.

(dramatic music)

HYUK: You're getting beaten because you don't get your act together!

Even if we do, you always punish us somehow.

-What? -We didn't come here to get punished.

Please stop the verbal and physical abuse so we can respect you.

You little...

(tense music)

Stop it.

You two. Get down on your heads.

Didn't you hear me?

You're not getting up until these two get down.

HYUK: Am I understood?

(groans)

(tense music continues)

(students groaning)

(students grunting)

(thuds)

I affirm

that I will be an honest

and honorable KNPU student who will not give in to injustice.

I affirm that I will be an honest

and honorable KNPU student who will not give in to injustice.

-I affirm that I will be an honest -I will be an honest

BOTH: and honorable KNPU student who will not give in to injustice.

(tense music)

So they're refusing the training for two days.

Yes.

(breathes deeply)

This is a written protest signed by all the freshmen.

LETTER OF PROTEST

They're going to refuse training until their demands are met.

FEBRUARY 23, 2017 KNPU FRESHMAN, WI SEUNGHYUN

The public relations department...

got a phone call from a reporter this morning.

I'm not sure how they learned about it, but they wanted to interview you.

What should we do?

We're reforming...

Cheongram Education.

We need to avoid...

the rainstorm for now.

In this new era of human rights,

I believe KNPU needs a change as well.

From now on, we will avoid military-style training

and focus more on creating an environment where our students can develop creativity

and practice professionalism.

the public relations members here and I will be happy to answer.

MALE STUDENT: How should your grades be for the student exchange program?

Well, it depends on the program each year,

but I think you should be at least one of the top ten.

(students clamoring)

Are there places to hang out near the school?

(students laughing)

If you like video games, you can go to internet cafes.

JUCHAN: If not, you can hang out at billiard halls and bowling alleys too.

I heard we're not allowed to date other students. Is that true?

(all laughing)

If you think you can fool the school, give it a try.

JUCHAN: Any other questions?

You just want to start drinking already, don't you?

Hey, isn't that president guy cute?

I heard he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Maybe I should hit on him.

Gosh. You have a new crush already?

Wake up. He's definitely super popular.

There must be tons of girls who are crushing on him.

Is that so? That makes me more competitive.

Goodness.
