Seoul Busters

Episode 6

-[metal clanking]
-[thug 1] Hey, you.

Where do you think you're going?

[Joongryeok] Who are you guys?

You guys obviously don't work here.

Are you the ones with a tip?

[thug 1] We don't know the details.

We were just asked to teach you a lesson,

so you just get ready to learn.

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

[thug 1] Yeah.
You should've lived a better life.

And you should've been nicer to others...

[shouts] Nam Junghyun!
I know you're here, you b*stard!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Look, let's not drag this out.

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

[Joongryeok] One, two, three, four...

Man, that's going to take forever.

Two each is too many, isn't it?

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

That should be plenty.

[thug 1] What are you babbling about?
Are you done talking now?

Here I go.

-[thwacks]
-[thug 1 groans]

[satisfied whoop]

[♪ thrilling music playing]

Bring it on. Bring it on.

[thug 2 grunts]

[thug 2 groans]

[Joongryeok whooping]

[dramatic grunting]

Damn it.

[Joongryeok grunting]

[Joongryeok whoops]

[all grunting]

[sighs]

-[Joongryeok whooping]
-[thug 1] Uh...

Wait! You already punched me.

-Are you sure?
-[thug 1] Yes. I can't breathe.

Blame your ski mask.

Here's another blow.

[thug 1 groaning]

Hey, answer me honestly.

-Where's Nam Junghyun?
-[thug 1] He's over there.

-Hold this for me.
-[thug 1] Okay.

[thug 1 cries in pain]

[thug 1] Jeez.

-There you are.
-[gasps effect]

-Come here, you b*stard.
-[annoyed groan]

[exclaiming]

Come here.

[groans] sh*t! That hurts!

Watch your language!

It hurts so damn much!

[groaning] It really hurts.

Scumbags like you
who pick on people weaker than you

need a good beating.

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

-[Junghyun] Let go of me first... [groaning]
-[phone ringing]

-Hold on. Hey, answer my phone.
-[thug 1] Sorry?

-[shouts] My phone's ringing!
-[thug 1] Yes, sir.

-Hold, please.
-Who is it?

[thug 1] It's Taesung.

Hello? Yeah. What?

I'm busy right now. Why?

Hey, hold this guy for me.

-[thug 1] Me? [whimpers]
-[shouts] I said hold him!

[Joongryeok] So what's the matter?

-What the hell are you doing?
-[thug 1] Well...

[Junghyun] Let go!
What's the deal with you?

Hold him tight.

-No, don't.
-[thug 1] Tight?

[groaning]

No, I wasn't talking to you.

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

-[Joongryeok] Let's go.
-[thug 1] Are we leaving?

-[Joongryeok] Yes. Hey, I'm on my way.
-[thug 1] Don't resist.

Toy Paradise

[Junghwan sighs]

Toy Paradise

Why are we here?

Hey. Wait in the car for a minute.

Okay.

Don't touch anything or do anything.

[Tansik] Understood.

[♪ serious music playing]

Welcome.

Hello.

I'm looking for this.

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

Is there any way I could find one?

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

There's no way.

Please, sir, help me out.

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

Could you at least check in your storage?

I know my inventory, and we're out.

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

"T-Rex Extinct"

-[Junghwan] Please, just this once, sir.
-[dinosaur groaning effect]

[♪ comical music playing]

Seoul Busters

[bird cawing effect]

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

but it's been bothering me.

What is it? Spit it out.

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

-Money?
-Around 50 million won.

It seems like he invested in crypto

and ended up taking out loans.

You mean things like Bitcoin?

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

He tried to get me involved too.

You could look for evidence
of where he invested.

[♪ pensive music playing]

One shot, my foot.

[sighs]

sh*t Well Daycare Center

Songwon Police Station
has moved to a temporary location

[Minseo slurping] Mmm.

Right before the fire,

he paid three months' worth
of overdue insurance at once

to stop it from being canceled.

[exclaims]
Was he really after the insurance money?

Mm. That doesn't add up.

Even if he received 300 million won,

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

Burning down his restaurant for that?

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

[exclaims]

-[loud groan]
-[Yubin grunts]

Watch your step.

[Yubin] Sorry about that. Enjoy, everyone.

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

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

[chuckling]

All the food
you leave uneaten in your life

catches up with you after you die.

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

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

Supposedly,
bacteria can't transfer that fast.

Is that some kind of rule
for beggars? Huh?

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

Bacteria move around 70 times slower
than mollusks like snails,

-so there's some science to it.
-[Minseo] Mm.

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

Nothing's dirtier than our hands.

[Minseo] So dirty.

How was Mr. Yoon's business doing?

It was worse than we initially thought.

The YouTube video had gotten him
some new customers,

but he'd been struggling the whole time.

I see. Why isn't this mixed yet?

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

Gosh, this is...

[Joongryeok] How's Hyojoo doing?
Is she okay?

[Minsoo] She's gotten a lot better.

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

Don't worry. Everything will be okay.

I hope so.

Being with you brings back memories.

Boxing was tough,

but I miss how carefree we were back then.

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

Take this.

And say hi to Hyojoo for me.

[♪ gentle music playing]

[Joongryeok]
Use this for the hospital bill.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

[door closes]

I never noticed that before.

Here you go.

What's this?

[breathes deeply]

It seems like Minsoo was into crypto.

Crypto?

I don't know much about that field,

but I put together everything I found out.

It seems like he made a risky investment.

I thought it might help.

[soft chuckle]

Or maybe not.

I'll be off.

[Yubin] Detective Moo.

[in English] Thank you.

You're welcome.

[door closes]

Korean National Police Agency

[colleague in Korean]
So this was your urgent business?

Here's the information about Gold Coin.

[in English] Thank you.

[in Korean] They claim
their currency's value is backed by gold.

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

Isn't this enough evidence to take action?

What are you waiting for?

They haven't given up all hope yet.

I mean the investors.

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

The investors are staking
everything on it.

If we act rashly,

it could backfire on us.

[colleague sighs]

[mobile phone buzzing]

[Junghwan's wife] You know
it's Doona's birthday tomorrow, right?

Don't forget to get her a present.

The kids are looking forward
to you keeping your promise.

[worried exhale]

[Joongryeok snoring]

[Minseo groans] For crying out loud.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[parents] Hello.

-[teacher] Hello.
-[parent 1] Hello.

-[teacher] Dahye, Mommy's here.
-[parent 2] Hi, sweetie.

[♪ melancholy music playing]

There's a crazy man on the slide.

[child 1] A crazy man!

[child 2 squeals]

-Donggoo!
-[♪ music stops]

[Junghwan sighs]

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

What are you doing here?

I've been waiting for you.

Me?

Is the T-Rex still with you?

Do you mean this?

Yes, that...

[Junghwan] Oh!

-Can you please give me that?
-[♪ melancholy music playing]

I really need it.

I'll buy you another toy instead.

-No way.
-[♪ music stops]

Don't be so stubborn, Donggoo.

-I'm begging you.
-[Donggoo] Mm...

I don't want to.

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

-Are you angry with me?
-What?

[scoffs] Of course not.

I'm not angry with you at all.

I'm just asking you for a favor.

[Donggoo] Mm...

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

-[Donggoo] Hmm?
-[Junghwan chuckles awkwardly]

You're obviously angry with me.

I was just saying your name.

-[giggles]
-Please help me out just once.

I'll be really good to you.

So please, just this once.

Please give it a second thought.

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

Can you mimic a T-Rex?

Mimic a T-Rex?

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

Uh...

[♪ pensive music playing]

[whispers]
Don't you think that's too much?

I'm a grown-up.

Forget it then.

No, wait! Give me just a second.

[grunts]

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

[clears throat]

[mimicking T-rex roaring]

What are you doing?

That was terrible. Forget it.

Wait. Just a second.

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

One more time.

[Donggoo] What is he doing?

[Junghyun] Doona, give me courage.

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

I'm counting on you, Daddy. [echoing]

[roaring, snarling]

[roaring continues]

Is he a real T-Rex?

[growling]

[roaring]

[snarling]

[♪ sad trombone music playing]

[Junghwan roaring]

He's crazy!

[roaring tearfully]

Donggoo. [sobbing]

Can I have that T-Rex now?

Do me a favor first.

-What favor?
-Follow me.

[pants] What?

-[Junghwan groaning]
-[bone cracking effect]

Better Tomorrow Target sh**ting

God of Marksmanship

[♪ mellow music playing]

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


STING MAN

No one's won it yet.

Can you win that for me?

Donggoo.

I think these r*fles aren't even zeroed.

Keep your promise.

Sir, do you have a handgun?

[♪ mellow music continues]

[g*ns clinking]

Here you go.

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

[♪ thrilling music playing]

[gasps] No way.

Give me Sting Man.

Of course.

Here you go.

Give me the T-Rex now, Donggoo.

[sighs]

You're amazing.

Donggoo.

Thanks.

[♪ cheerful triumphant music playing]

[exhales heavily]

Thank you.

Thanks, Donggoo.

Songwon Police Station
has moved to a temporary location

Even if Mr. Yoon invested in crypto,

he's only suffered losses.

Is this really related to the case?

And the victim is his daughter.

Where have you been?

[awkward chuckle]

I had a bad headache.

But I'm fine now.

That's a relief.

Take a seat.

[loud gasp]

-I solved it.
-What?

I think I know who the culprit is.

-Who is it?
-I think the culprit is...

[♪ light suspenseful music playing]

The culprit is...

[squealing playfully] The culprit is...

-[Minseo] Come on.
-[whoops]

The culprit is Mr. Yoon's wife.

[sighs]

[Junghwan sighs]

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

She's been severely depressed.

So when she found out
about their financial loss,

she set the restaurant on fire.

Depression can lead to impulsive behavior.

Why would she go that far?

Because she was severely depressed.

Her daughter was inside the restaurant.

[in dramatic voice]
She was severely depressed.

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

[squealing] She was severely...

[♪ downbeat music playing]

[in normal voice] ...depressed.

I'm getting depressed.

I'm sorry, sir.

[Joongryeok] Wait, Tansik.

Sit in that chair and think some more.

[Tansik] Okay.

[Yubin] You can go back to your seat.

Yes, sir.

[Yubin sighs]

What are you doing, Captain?

I'm trying to think.

It's a thinking chair, after all.

[♪ downbeat music continues]

Mm...

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Minseo] What are you doing here?

-Thank you.
-Sure.

Nice view of the sunset, isn't it?

Oof.

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

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

It matches Jiwoong's statement.

The resolution isn't great,

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

-Good work.
-Thank you.

[sharp exhale]

[Minseo] Do you invest in crypto too?

No, it's not my thing.

[Minseo] Hmm.

All my friends were into it for a bit.

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

But no one ever talks about losing money.

What about you? Do you invest in crypto?

I used to think
crypto could turn my life around,

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

[Yubin] Hmm.

What was that crypto called?

Everyone was saying it'd sh**t up tenfold.

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

[Minseo slurping]

[♪ mysterious music playing]

[groans]

This coffee's way too bitter.

[♪ mysterious music continues]

[birds chirping]

I used to think
crypto could turn my life around.

Everyone was saying it'd sh**t up tenfold.

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

[colleague]
They haven't given up all hope yet.

I mean the investors.

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

[panting]

[Yubin] Are you here alone?

[Jiwoong] Yes.

Can we talk for a minute?

Sorry?

About what?

[Yubin sighs]

How's boxing going?

Is it fun?

I know nothing about boxing.

Uh, I quite like it.

[Jiwoong] It takes my mind off things.

[Yubin] Mm.

I see.

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

What?

Uh, yes.

[Yubin] You made a report right away,

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

There's a fire.

I think so.

[fire crackling]

[Jiwoong] Hyojoo! Hyojoo!

Stay with me, Hyojoo.

-Hyojoo!
-[Yubin] Then you carried Hyojoo out.

You went into the restaurant
and carried Hyojoo out

within two minutes of seeing the fire.

[Yubin inhales sharply]

How did you know
Hyojoo was lying unconscious inside?

-What?
-The restaurant was filled with smoke,

and no one would've known
Hyojoo was there.

And you couldn't have seen her

lying in the kitchen from the outside.

[gulps]

You better tell the truth now.

Why did you set the restaurant on fire?

[♪ tense music playing]

[♪ music fades]

What did he say?

He's remaining silent.

-[sighs]
-[Junghwan] May I try talking to him, sir?

I tend to get along with millennials.

-He's Gen Z.
-What?

He's Gen Z, not a millennial.

[whispers]
Since when did that become a thing?

It's been a while.

It means "Generation Z."

Detective Seo, you go in.

Me?

Drink some.

[Minseo] Just be honest.

That's all there is to it.

Hmm.

I know you were just trying
to help Mr. Yoon

because you felt indebted to him.

Am I right?

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

If you really want to help him,

you should tell the truth.

[♪ gentle music playing]

[Jiwoong sobbing]

[sobbing, sniffles]

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

How did you first meet Mr. Yoon?

I met him at the gym.

[Jiwoong] He used to coach my coach.

[Taesung] Focus! Focus!

[Minsoo] Come have some chicken!

[Taesung] Let's have some chicken.

-[thumping]
-Jiwoong.

[Jiwoong] I live alone with my grandma.

-[parents clamoring]
-When I got in trouble at school,

Mr. Yoon stepped in.

It's because of his upbringing.

It's not like that, ma'am.

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

Look what he's done!

[Minsoo] You've fooled around long enough.

From now on, focus on boxing.

But I'm not talented.

I have a glass jaw and small fists.

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

Just don't get hit.

Besides, boxing isn't just about fists.

It's about using your eyes.

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

[both chuckle softly]

He would even take my grandma
to the hospital

in the middle of the night,

send me money every now and then,

and give me private boxing lessons.

[spectators clamoring]

-[competitor groans]
-[bell ringing]

[cheers and applause]

[Jiwoong] But lately,

he seemed pretty down.

I asked him what was wrong

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

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

But a few days before the fire...

he came over, completely drunk.

[Minsoo] This is for your grandma.

She loves tangerines, right?

She does. Thank you.

I heard the national team
selection matches are scheduled.

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

[Minsoo] That's coming up fast.

-[Minsoo] Make sure to stay in shape.
-I will.

I'll get going.

-Is there something wrong, sir?
-[Minsoo] What?

No, nothing's wrong.

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

Forget it.

[Minsoo] I'm off.

Jiwoong.

I actually have a favor to ask.

So that favor was...

He said he was in a tight spot,

and this was the only solution.

[Jiwoong sobbing] He said all I had to do

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

Hey.

-[Hyojoo] What are you doing?
-[stomping]

[switch clicks]

[Jiwoong breathing heavily]

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

Stay right there.

-[Jiwoong] I can explain everything.
-Give me my phone back.

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

[Jiwoong grunts] Please!

[Jiwoong whimpering]

Please hear me out!

[Hyojoo] Give me my phone!

[♪ dramatic music playing]

-[Jiwoong] Please let me explain!
-[Hyojoo] Let go!

[Jiwoong] Please, Hyojoo!

[Hyojoo] Hey, you! [yelps]

[♪ music fades]

[breathing heavily]

-[liquid trickling]
-[♪ pensive music playing]

-[Jiwoong] I couldn't think straight.
-[breathing heavily, groans]

If Hyojoo had called the police...

and I'd been arrested,

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

But then the restaurant caught fire.

[fire crackling]

[groans]

I should've told the truth...

but I didn't have the courage.

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

[breathing shakily] Detective.

I...

I don't care if I go to prison,

but what will happen to my grandma?

[sobbing]
Who will take care of my grandma?

[sobbing continues]

[Minsoo] Aren't you bored?

Should I get your laptop from home?

[Hyojoo] Yes.

Okay, I'll bring it tomorrow.

[fruit scraping]

[Hyojoo] Dad.

Yes? Do you need something else?

I saw Jiwoong at the restaurant that day.

I remember everything that happened.

I just pretended I didn't.

The fire...

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

[Hyojoo] Jiwoong said something strange.

He said he could explain everything.

I suspected...

you were involved...

so I played dumb.

[Hyojoo] As long as we keep quiet,

things will blow over.

So don't say anything.

You need to stay strong.

[♪ somber piano music playing]

[door closes]

[mobile phone buzzing]

-Hey.
-[Minsoo] Hey.

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

-Up for some mitt work?
-What?

You know, for old times' sake.

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

Shall we?

All right then.

Let's give it a try.

[Minsoo groaning]

[Minsoo] Hey, Moo Joongryeok!

-[sighs]
-[Minsoo groans]

[Minsoo] Joongryeok...

You little...

-Do you remember?
-Remember what?

[Joongryeok] The reason you loved boxing.

No matter how cornered you were,

you said you could always turn it around.

-[♪ soft music playing]
-[panting]

No matter how certain you were to lose...

you said you always had
one shot left in you.

Did I say that?

Now that I look back...

I absolutely hated boxing.

[Joongryeok] It hurt,

and it was exhausting.

[sobs, breathes shakily]

I only put up with it for your sake.

-[inaudible]
-[♪ soft somber music playing]

[Joongryeok] Come to think of it...

[sobs] ...I never said thank you.

[breathes shakily]

Thank you, Minsoo.

Thank you so much.

[Joongryeok sniffles]

[Joongryeok sniffles, sighs]

Minsoo.

We still have one shot left in us, right?

[♪ soft uplifting music playing]

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

[♪ uplifting music rising]

I'll get going.

[♪ music fades]

Please come with us.

[sighs]

[Yubin] Oh?

Why are you taking that down?

It's our first team photo.

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

After everything that happened,

I figured it wasn't a good memory anymore.

What does that have to do with the photo?

[Yubin] Mm.

I get it now.

What do you mean? Get what?

Why you took the photo down.

And why's that?

Anyway, I forbid you to take it down.

That's my order as your captain.

[door opens]

-[door closes]
-How did he figure it out?

Jeez.

[office phone ringing]

[♪ closing theme music playing]

[Minseo]
Hello, this is Violent Crimes Team 2.

Seoul Busters

-[♪ exciting music playing]
-[Donggoo] Next time on Seoul Busters.

The Violent Crimes Team
takes on a new case.

Yoona! Yoona!

[Minseo]
She went missing around 3:10 p.m. today

from the apartment complex's back gate.

[Donggoo] A kid is kidnapped
on her way home from kindergarten.

[father] A neighbor brought it
because someone asked them to.

[Yubin]
So you didn't see his face clearly.

[shouts] Who did this? That b*stard!

[Donggoo] The Violent Crimes Team
works hard to solve the case.

In kidnapping cases, every second counts.

[Yubin] Focus on securing
CCTV footage and witnesses.

[Donggoo]
But things take an unexpected turn.

[gasps]

[officer] The kidnapping case
of Choo Yoona will now be handled

by the Special Investigation Team
from headquarters.

[Donggoo] In the new setup,

Junghwan is torn between staying loyal
and getting a promotion.

[Minseo] What were you doing in there?

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

-[Donggoo] What will Junghwan choose?
-Salute.

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

[g*nsh*t]

To be continued...
