[bunniefuu]

Sir.

Choi Miryeo's been missing

for a few days now.

(MIRYEO SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING IN PAIN)

(GROANS)

Who's the Vigilante?

That's what I'd like to know, too.

(LAUGHS)

(YELPS IN PAIN)

(GROANS)

(SPITS)

(MIRYEO SIGHS)

You've been inciting people with him.

Just k*ll me and pray for me, brother.

"Brother"?

You're wearing a rosary ring.

No?

Stop trying to get something out of me.

It makes me want to k*ll you.

So you believe in God?

Why? Because you've done

so many bad things?

(CHUCKLES)

I haven't seen a tough one

like you in a while.

(MIRYEO SCREAMS IN PAIN)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHING)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(BUZZING)

(BEEPING)

It's open.

Ms. Choi?

(SIGHS)

How about table tennis this time?

Let's play.

-Sounds good.

-You're good at it.

Yeah, I am.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

(SIGHS)

I need to take this call.

JIYONG: Yeah, what's up?

GANGOK: Hey, Jiyong.

Choi Miryeo's been out of touch

for a few days.

It seems she was kidnapped.

It was bound to happen anyway.

Let's go.

Okay.

TO ALL WHO PASS THROUGH HERE,

THE COUNTRY HAS FAITH IN YOU

VIGILANTE

What? What's going on?

-Hey, go check.

-Yes, sir.

-You go with him, fool.

-Yes, sir.

Who are you?

The Vigilante?

It's the Vigilante!

(GRUNTS, GROANS)

-The Vigilante's here!

-What's going on?

(GROANS)

(CHUCKLES)

Get him!

(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

Get that guy!

MAN: The Vigilante's here.

Yes. I'll leave

with the money right away. Yes, sir.

(GROANS)

Read it out loud.

BY 7 P.M. TOMORROW, BRING CHOI MIRYEO

(WEAKLY) Boss,

please send more of our men.

(COUGHS)

I said read it.

"By 7:00 p.m. tomorrow,

"bring Choi Miryeo

to the World Cup Stadium concert hall."

"I'll give you the crypto wallet

in exchange for Choi Miryeo."

"If you don't bring her,

"I'll throw the crypto wallet

into the Han River."

-(LINE DISCONNECTS)

-YANG: Hello? Hello?

He must think we have Choi Miryeo.

Mr. Bang.

Sir?

Interesting.

We now have

a hand to play.

Right?

(SCOFFS)

Things became complicated

because of that b*stard,

but still.

(RATTLING)

(PANTING)

(WEAKLY) Please don't k*ll me, sir.

I won't make another mistake!

Please give me one more chance, sir.

-Really?

-Yes, sir!

I'll do anything. Please don't k*ll me.

Bullshit.

Sir!

Sir, wait!

YANG: Hey, bring him in!

MAN: Don't touch me, you sons of b*tches!

Stay away, you f*ck!

f*ck!

You m*therf*ckers, let go of me!

-(SOBBING) Yang, please!

-Hold him tight!

-Yang!

-Relax.

-(MACHINE WHIRRING)

-No, wait. Wait! f*ck, let go of me!

-Relax.

-Yang.

-Yang, don't k*ll me!

-Hey, push him.

Yang, please!

Yang, don't k*ll me! (SOBBING)

Kim Samdoo, you son of a b*tch! (GROANS)

-Hello?

-SAMDOO: Mr. Bang.

Thank you for taking my call.

I'll cut to the chase

and make you an offer.

What is it?

You have Choi Miryeo, right?

So?

I'll pay three times

what the Vole promised.

Hand her to me.

The Vigilante must've contacted you.

(SCOFFS)

You don't need to know.

(SCOFFS)

It's not a very tempting offer.

Five times.

When and where we'll meet

the Vigilante is already set.

I'll just take my crypto wallet back

and let you k*ll the Vigilante.

It's a win-win.

I mean, you always pay your debts.

You can't live without paying him back,

can you?

All right, then.

I'll text you the place and time.

He's pretty much done for.

Do we need to save him?

I'm not saving him. I'm finishing him off.

YANG: Will Mr. Bang do as we say?

Yang.

Yes?

Mr. Yang.

Yes, sir?

Gather all our guys. Everyone.

We'll wipe them all out

once we get the wallet.

Understood, sir.

If we don't k*ll them,

we'll die.

(GANGOK SIGHS)

Kim Samdoo's gathering his men.

He wants his wallet back at all cost.

So what now? Do you have a plan?

(CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

(ENGINE REVVING)

(ENGINE ACCELERATING)

SEONWOOK: Jiyong.

What are you up to these days?

You shouldn't have missed classes today.

You already missed some

because of that accident.

You're not going to become an officer?

You said we should believe

in reforming people.

It's not too late yet.

Don't skip school tomorrow.

(LOCK BEEPING)

(DOOR UNLOCKS)

YONG GUKBAP RESTAURAN

(WOMAN SOBBING)

(DOOR UNLOCKS, OPENS)

WASP: Thank you for the food, sir.

SQUEEZER: Thank you for the food.

(SLURPING)

Sir, by any chance is there soju

Never mind, sir.

Is it good?

Yes, sir. It's good.

It's not free.

SEGYE BATHHOUSE

MR. BANG: Wash up and get changed.

We've brought your clothes,

so you'll be fine.

What are you doing?

The Vigilante wants you.

We'll exchange you for the crypto wallet,

so we need to make you look nice.

(LAUGHING)

What's so funny?

God, I love it.

This situation is so satisfying.

(WHOOPS)

(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

Crazy b*tch.

Untie her.

(LAUGHING CONTINUES)

-(RADIO BEEPS)

-Begin.

You can't come in here.

What are you doing? Please leave now!

Just shut up.

-Get out.

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN: Sir, everyone's in position.

Good job.

If a man in a black hoodie,

or Mr. Bang appears, tell me right away.

(FIREWORKS BURSTING)

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Sir, the Vigilante is here.

YANG: What?

But there's a lot of them.

What do you mean? Be more clear.

MAN: The thing is

Vigilantes keep coming out of the station.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

(LAUGHS)

That b*stard

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(CARD READERS BEEPING)

This b*stard's smarter than I thought.

Should I turn back?

MR. BANG: We should keep

the promise we made. Keep going.

(LAUGHS)

It really is a festival.

If you see the Vigilante,

stop where you are.

If you do anything, you die.

(IN KOREAN) Go.

Sir.

Choi Miryeo and Soedol are here.

They're moving from the parking lot

to the hall entrance.

What about Mr. Bang?

I don't see him.

What should we do, sir?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Buy your merch here!

Hey, wait.

You need black outfits on to enter.

GANGOK: So what now? Do you have a plan?

It's likely Kim Samdoo

will try to k*ll me, Mr. Bang,

and even Eom Jaehyub.

Because that's the only way

for him to survive.

Mr. Bang?

Kim Samdoo isn't the one

who has Choi Miryeo.

It's Mr. Bang.

(CHUCKLES)

Once the fight begins,

find Kim Samdoo and lure him in,

so everyone can be in one place.

Let's go in.

Yes, sir.

(CAR HONKS)

-(ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING)

-(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(INDISTINCT CHEERING)

(INDISTINCT CHEERING CONTINUES)

That b*stard!

Hey, Samdoo!

Who are you?

Who do you think?

I'm the demon who's after you,

you b*stard!

(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

Get him!

-Get him!

-Get that b*stard!

Hey!

GANGOK: So you and I are going to take on

all of them by ourselves?

It'll be such an exciting day.

Once it begins, Jo Heon will come.

Eom Jaehyub, too.

Because Choi Miryeo will stream it live.

(PANTING)

Here. Stream it live.

This is the only way to get them.

(JIYONG WHISTLES)

(PANTING)

(GRUNTS)

MIRYEO: Breaking news, everyone.

I am now at World Cup Stadium.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES, VIBRATES)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

MIRYEO: After the Vigilante stole

the crypto wallet,

he's once again fighting the duo

who recently attacked a police officer.

(ENGINE STARTS)

-Just get in!

-But

(SIREN WAILING)

(GRUNTS)

(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

What? There's another Vigilante?

Yes, and there might be more.

-Get him!

-Get that b*stard!

-Hey!

-You b*stard!

(CHUCKLES)

-Move aside!

-Hey, move.

Hey! k*ll them all!

(MEN SHOUTING)

(GRUNTS, GROANS)

Do you see this, everyone?

Kim Samdoo and the members

of Sewool Future Resources

have come here to k*ll the Vigilante.

Everyone, this place is a chaotic area

of lawlessness right now.

JAEHYUB:

Don't worry about the campaign funds.

I'll prepare more than enough.

Goodness.

I appreciate it.

I'll put in a good word

for you with the VIP.

-Thank you, sir.

-Cheers.

(DOOR OPENS)

Sir, the Vigilante and Kim Samdoo's men

are fighting at World Cup Stadium.

And Choi Miryeo's streaming it live.

Mr. Eom.

You haven't taken care of her yet?

I'm sorry, sir.

Leave right now.

Go take care of it yourself.

-But sir

-Leave right now, you m*therf*cker.

Yes, sir.

(SIGHS)

(GROANS, GRUNTS)

(MEN SHOUTING)

(GROANS)

Get him now!

You idiots!

Do you really think the Vigilante

brought the crypto wallet here?

If he dies here, how will you find it?

What are you doing,

you idiots? Get her now!

-Get her!

-Get her!

-Get her!

-Get that b*tch!

Get her! Hurry!

(MEN SHOUTING)

(SIREN WAILING STOPS)

(GROANS, PANTS)

This is the police!

Everyone drop your weapons

and get down on the ground

with your hands behind your back.

If you do as I say,

I'll treat you like humans at least.

Hey, Wasp and Squeezer.

What are you doing?

Go get Jo Heon.

(STUTTERS) Mr. Bang?

I said drop your weapons!

What are you doing?

What the hell are you doing here?

Answer me.

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)

JIYONG: Seonwook.

POLICEMAN: This is the police!

Please take him to the hospital.

Please.

The police are here.

What are you going to do?

Jiyong.

I'll believe what you're doing

is the right thing.

(MEN SHOUTING)

Try and f*cking stab me!

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

Tonight, we all die here.

No one gets out.

You sound like you're some hero.

Stop pretending

like you have a sad backstory,

you criminals.

You're all under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent,

and you have the right to an attorney.

(JAEHYUB CLAPPING)

(EXCLAIMS) What a sight to see.

Right?

I told you not to drag it out.

Didn't I?

You b*stards don't deserve

to get out of here alive.

Vermin in our society.

Sir, don't worry!

I'll k*ll them all before I leave.

And I'll find the crypto wallet

-JAEHYUB: Shut your mouth!

-(g*nshots)

(GROANS)

I let you live

when I should've k*lled you,

and look where it f*cking got me.

-Get down!

-(g*n FIRES)

Damn it.

(JAEHYUB STRAINING)

(RUMBLING)

You're all going to die here tonight.

(b*llet SHELLS RATTLING)

-(EMPTY CHAMBER CLICKING)

-Jiyong, go up!

Damn it!

(GRUNTING)

HEON: Stop.

(GROANS)

HEON: President Eom Jaehyub.

You're under arrest

for conspiracy to m*rder Nam Yeongil

and for colluding with a g*ng

to commit all of your crimes.

(WEAKLY) What are you talking about?

He's the Vigilante. Arrest him.

No.

Just k*ll that b*stard.

I'll reward you.

I'll give you anything you want,

so k*ll that b*stard.

Kim Jiyong!

Jiyong.

Unclench your fists.

This is what you accomplished.

-Mr. Jo

-You don't need to prove it.

Because the proposition was a lie.

Choi Miryeo will report on them,

and the world will know about it.

President Eom Jaehyub

No, the Vole.

Let the law punish him.

Jo Heon, k*ll that b*stard. Damn it.

(GRUNTS)

Can't you hear me?

I will prove to you

that despite its inconsistencies,

the law ultimately does what's right.

(SIGHS)

(RAILING CLANKS)

(MR. BANG PANTING)

(GRUNTS, EXHALES)

(GROANING)

How do I get paid

if my financial backer is like this?

Anyway,

we should finish what we started.

(g*n FIRES)

(PANTING)

(GROANING)

(GROANS)

Eom Jaehyub!

What?

-(GROANS)

-Mr. Eom Jaehyub.

I'll speak informally to you from now on.

(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GROANS)

(GROANING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I don't need your escort.

I said no!

MAN: Is everything you said true?

Yes.

The Vigilante was really

a National Police University student?

Min Seonwook?

The student who died at the scene?

Yes.

If you knew this,

then why haven't you reported on it?

Because I found out for the first time.

(CHUCKLES WRYLY) First time

And not because you were working together?

"I wanted to punish

the bad guys as much as he did."

I guess I could say that.

But

isn't that what you want as well?

As well as the people outside, right?

Did you get rid of everything she had?

Yes, sir.

She doesn't seem to know

anything more than what she reported on.

Everything she said adds up on the whole.

And we didn't need

to try to persuade or scare her.

She just seems solely focused

on turning Min Seonwook into a hero.

Well, she's always been a reporter

who's covered that kind of stuff.

Just release her.

But

The public image of the police is in ruins

because of Choi Miryeo's report.

What she reported on Eom Jaehyub

Commissioner.

I will

take care of the rest.

I understand, sir.

(GROANS SOFTLY)

(GROANS) m*therf*cker!

Jiyong.

(GROANS)

Mr. Park!

PARK: Are you all right, sir?

How did it go? Is everything all right?

Yes, sir. I had Jiyong hospitalized

and got rid of footage

from the nearby CCTVs.

The police found some dashcam footage,

but it seems that won't be a problem.

(EXCLAIMS)

But something unexpected has happened.

What is it?

Take a look.

(TV TURNS ON)

Seonwook was a National Police University

student who wanted to become

a compassionate police officer

who served the people.

GANGOK:

I think this is Choi Miryeo's work.

I'm well aware there's a lot

of news reports about Seonwook.

-Since he was the Vigilante

-(LAUGHS)

I'm sure it's a sensitive issue.

Smart move, Choi Miryeo.

Jiyong and I can start

punishing bad guys right away.

Sir, you should take a break.

Why? The world's filled with bad guys.

It was really difficult to make it

look like you had a car accident.

If this happens again,

the stockholders won't let it slide.

-Your position in the company

-Fine.

You've had it tough all this time.

I'll restrain myself

for a while. I promise.

I'll let you rest then, sir.

But Mr. Park.

Yes, sir?

The type of evidence we had on Kim Samdoo

wouldn't take down our chairman, right?

Once again, the chairman

will get away with it, right?

I'm sure you'll have

a better chance next time.

(SCOFFS)

THE LATE MIN SEONWOOK

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY SENIOR

PRIME MINISTER'S AWARD FOR FUTURE POLICE

MIRYEO: Do you think

Jiyong will accept all this?

If it's legal, is it always good?

And if it's ill*gal, is it always bad?

If I had revealed the truth,

would the law have rooted out great evil?

Or would they have concluded

Jiyong was a heinous criminal

and Seonwook died in vain?

My dad was

a civil servant.

He k*lled himself

while being investigated for corruption,

but he was

being framed.

But he was the one

who ended up dead.

None of the press

tried to reveal the truth.

So

I was excited when the Vigilante appeared.

Through him, I wanted

to cause an uproar in the world.

I guess you and I have

something in common now.

Vigilante,

you can't disappear yet.

REPORTER: Reporter Choi Miryeo exposed

the late Chief Eom Jaehyub

as the key figure in "Sewool-gate,"

but it's been revealed he fought

a criminal organization until the end.

And Chief Secretary

Seok Seungcheol announced

the late Eom will be promoted

and appointed posthumously

as honorary Commissioner General.

Here's the press conference.

SEUNGCHEOL: Unlike what the press

has reported in the news,

the late Eom Jaehyub, who was named

as the key figure in "Sewool-gate,"

was in reality an honorable police officer

who fought against a crime organization

until the very end.

He sacrificed his life for justice

but was framed

as a corrupt police officer.

My fellow citizens,

the truth always comes out in the end.

And I believe that will never change,

no matter what kind of society we live in.

Next, our newly appointed

police officers

(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING)

will take a solemn oath

to devote themselves

to their country and the citizens.

The President will lead the oath.

Valedictorian, please come forth.

All rise.

I solemnly swear

-I solemnly swear

-I solemnly swear

JUN: As a public servant

of the Republic of Korea,

I will uphold

the Constitution and the law,

protect the country,

and faithfully and diligently

serve the people.

I hereby solemnly swear.

March 17th, 2023.

Lieutenant Hwang Jun.

Attention!

Salute the President. Present arms!

-Present arms!

-Present arms!

Salute!
