01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

Jeong Deokheung,

who was released a few days ago

was found m*rder*d early yesterday.

After cutting off his ankle monitor

and confusing police by making it look

like he was stowing away abroad

He severely injured a deliveryman

and a detective, and even attempted

to m*rder the victim.

An unidentified person appeared

It turns out he was k*lled after a fight.

Footage from security cameras and dashcams

in the area have been analyzed

in order to find the person

who k*lled Jeong Deokheung.

However, according to the police,

the search has been fruitless so far.

HEAVEN'S NE

I'M SORRY. FORGIVE

"Heaven's net."

What does it mean? Heaven's fishing net?

You idiot.

It refers to a net in the heavens

that catches sinners.

It's from Tao Te Ching.

It means that evil people are

eventually caught.

The b*stard deserves to go to hell

for what he did to Detective Ko, but

I agree.

Who the hell did this?

One thing is certain now.

There is

a vigilante.

VIGILANTE

As you can see, the footage from the night

of the incident is completely missing.

It seems the culprit took out the chip

after k*lling Jeong Deokheung.

So the culprit

didn't k*ll Jeong Deokheung

while helping the victim,

but he intended to k*ll Jeong

from the start?

Yes, sir.

"Heaven's net" means "retribution."

And seeing as he made him write it

on the wall in the midst of the chaos,

the culprit didn't want

to hide the incident,

but rather intended to make headlines.

We should investigate him as a m*rder*r.

Turn on the TV.

Our team at REPO25h

has exclusively obtained a photo of

Jeong Deokheung's m*rder scene again.

The shocking scene will be revealed

right now.

It is a wall in the emergency staircase.

The first thing you see

as you go up the stairs is

what Jeong wrote in his own blood.

"Heaven's net."

It's from Tao Te Ching and

What is that?

Did you not secure the crime scene?

You're already losing

the public opinion race?

I'm sorry, sir.

Stop the media before it gets louder.

And investigate him as a m*rder*r.

Understood?

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Come in.

- Did you call for me?

- Yes, because

You know about the incident

in Seoul, right?

I've been called

to join the investigation.

So I think I'm going to be a little busy.

You're going to have to continue

developing the app without me.

I'll check in whenever I have time.

Yes, sir. By the way,

is it the Jeong Deokheung case?

Yes.

They must be having a hard time.

Public opinion is going crazy,

and the police have no clues.

Since there's no CCTV or dashcam footage.

Professor, maybe it's someone

who lives in the apartment?

What?

Maybe he k*lled Jeong Deokheung

while helping the victim

and hid because he got scared.

I don't know.

Judging by the writing on the wall,

I think the Vigilante did it.

Vigilante?

Min Seonwook.

Do you have to use the name

the third-rate trashy media came up with?

I'm sorry, sir.

- We're the police.

- Yes, sir.

Good. Anyway, make sure you only work

in this room.

And the data can't leave the room.

Okay.

- I'll get going.

- Yes, sir.

- Good-bye, sir.

- I'll be in touch.

Yes, sir.

My goodness. Not a single clue left

after all this mess.

This is no ordinary guy.

I'm sure it's someone who knows

how the police investigate.

Why don't you meet Kim Siyoon, Professor?

She's the only witness,

but she won't say anything to us.

No.

She won't say anything

even if she saw something.

I'm sure.

The shock aside

Anyway, maybe after some time,

but not now.

Excuse me.

Why are you investigating the Vigilante?

You can't come in here, kid. Get out.

The Vigilante saved the victim's life.

You should reward him.

All right. Let's go.

Why are you investigating him

as a m*rder*r?

- Am I wrong?

- Come on.

- Let go of me. What are the police doing?

- Watch your head. Come on.

We've been getting a lot of calls

complaining about the investigation.

We have to put an end to it before

more people start to react like that.

IS THIS REALLY RIGHT?

IT'S A PROBLEM REGARDLESS

WHY IS REPO25H

VIEWER BULLETIN BOARD

CLICKBAIT TRASH JOURNALISTS

I'D RATHER WATCH PORN

TRAFFIC LIMIT EXCEEDED

TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE ACCESSING THE WEB SITE

Why aren't you answering the phones?

Don't answer them.

We can't work if we respond to every call.

The viewer board is down, too!

I told you

this case was going to shake society.

But we're getting criticized, too.

They say the Vigilante is a criminal

and we're making it look interesting.

REPO25h has never been criticized

this much! Am I wrong?

Let them criticize as much as they want.

They're criticizing

because they're watching.

You know they are our true fans, right?

Stop playing around with words!

We must play our role as the press

Mr. Kwak Changhyun!

The media gets power

from ratings and views.

Weren't you the one

who whined about our low ratings?

The Vigilante watched REPO25h

and punished a terrible criminal.

Our role?

It's to provide the best show

on the planet for our viewers!

We're the Vigilante promoter! Okay?

Okay.

Then we're using

a criminal like Jeong as material again?

Why back down now?

It was a huge hit.

We need to hit harder.

With a villain concept.

Who are you going to choose?

All three.

What?

Let's see

who the Vigilante chooses.

We'll figure out

his preferences and distract the police.

LARCENY - m*rder - FRAUD

I think the guy

who k*lled Jeong Deokheung is

a psychopath for sure. Right?

Leaving such a phrase increases

the possibility of getting caught.

But he chose to provoke the police.

Right? It's rather ostentatious

and narcissistic.

He seems to be highly-educated

and possess leadership qualities.

Like Jiyong?

Hey, how could you say that

about your friend?

But that's very accurate.

Doesn't it look like more of a warning?

Like, this is what happens

when you do bad things.

Plus analysis skills!

By the way, did you learn those skills

while developing the profiling app?

Even the freshmen know that, you idiot.

Through financial settlement

with victims and apology letters

What is that?

Why are they revealing three?

Are they leftovers?

- No idea.

- Seo Dooyeop.

SEO DOOYEOP

m*rder

Broke into the house of his ex-employer

with runaway teens

and brutally m*rder*d

the children and their mother.

He was apprehended at a karaoke bar.

He claimed he accidentally took part

under the influence of alcohol

Those jerks don't give a sh*t

about justice.

They're designating the criminals

to show the Vigilante.

He isn't stupid.

He'll take it with a grain of salt.

DO YOU EVEN FEEL SORRY?

ABOUT HOW WRONGFULLY THEY DIED?

COME AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE!

I'LL k*ll YOU TOO

DOOYEOP, LET'S DRINK

AND GET HIGH ALL NIGHT!

WHAT? YOU GOT OUT? NO WAY

Cuntacc

You're going home. Why the long face?

He's just cooped up at home on weekends.

How can he be happy?

I'd rather stay in the dorm if I were him.

I would, too.

So why don't you go clubbing

with us tonight?

I'll let you come in first in the finals.

Keep your promise.

- What?

- What?

- Are you serious?

- Are you serious?

Hey. My God

Come here.

Hurry up.

Come on!

- Lady.

- What would you like?

Three Jack and Cokes.

Guys, we've worked really hard

for the last two weeks.

Let's have some fun.

All right? Let's have fun.

Locked eyes with anyone?

I told you, we need three girls.

Hey, she's coming for me. I'll be back.

What the We ordered

three Jack and Cokes.

How old are you?

I'm just a college student.

Me, too.

Hey.

Tequila. Two shots please.

There really is something called fate.

Think about it.

Who knew my life would turn around

like this in prison?

Right? Sungyeol,

you should seize this opportunity.

I'll introduce you to Junsik

directly soon. All right?

Then you'll pay off

your gambling debt in no time.

By the way, how did you get out so quickly

after k*lling someone?

Did Junsik help with that, too?

What? What's so funny?

What is it?

The three of us got our story straight.

That I wasn't the one who k*lled

the woman and the kids.

They were minors, so they wouldn't

have gotten heavy sentences.

Really? That worked?

Of course.

There was no evidence, you know?

Don't you know?

Innocent until proven guilty.

The Korean law is freaking amazing.

Innocent until proven guilty!

Isn't it a bit hot in here?

Want to go cool off somewhere?

Are you here for Cool Dooyeop?

Who?

You've been staring at Dooyeop

the whole time.

Oh I was just wondering

if he was the guy on TV.

That's not why you were looking at him.

It's because of this, right?

But you can't buy it.

He only sells it

to international students.

Right

I'll just find someone else then.

Oh, you're here?

I'm sorry. See that book there?

I fell asleep while studying.

I'll get going. Bye.

- Bye.

- Okay.

Oh, right.

Did you get home okay last night?

Nothing happened at the club, right?

Yeah, I just went home.

Right. I thought so.

I was too busy hanging out with a girl.

Sorry.

I'll look out for you next time. Okay?

I mean,

you're not

the one-night-stand type of guy, right?

You went home, right?

All right.

- Bye.

- Bye.

COOL DOOYEOP, TAKE A LOOK.

IT'S THE ACCOUNT OF THE WOMAN YOU k*lled.

THE STATUS OF DRUG TRANSACTIONS

THROUGH CLUBS

"Systematically"

FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS

Run by separate groups,

and with cash transactions only.

I had fun the other night.

A system in which only dealers get caught.

Yes, sir.

- Well done.

- Thank you.

BUSAN DEA

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!

I don't think it's working.

Should we postpone the recording?

It's been quiet for three weeks already.

Or he may have punished someone else,

and we don't know about it.

No?

Everyone's on alert,

so he might be waiting for the right time.

Let's go harder today. Emotionally.

Okay.

What do you think, Producer Kwon?

Well, I thought it was getting

kind of plain.

Sounds good. Yes.

What?

Who left this on my car?

What a piece of trash.

TURN YOURSELF IN

Yo! What's up, bro?

Hey, Sungyeol,

I'll give you a phone number now.

Call and find out who it is.

Right now? I'm kind of busy.

You idiot!

I'm asking you

because it's f*cking urgent.

Why the f*ck are you yelling at me?

What is it?

What's the number?

051-903-0427.

Find out and call me back.

Okay, I got it. I'll do it right now.

Did you call it?

What the hell?

It's a number of a DEA agent in Busan.

Busan?

So what did you say?

What do you think?

I lied and said that I dialed

the wrong number, you punk.

Good. Well done.

Hang up the phone and lie low for a while.

If they call you back,

tell them you don't know me.

God damn it.

The loan sharks are already on my a*s,

for God's sake.

Anyway, I got it.

Hello.

- Good job.

- Thank you.

By the way

do these books come in from Busan,

by any chance?

I was just curious

because they're written in Japanese.

I'll get going, then.

- Dooyeop!

- f*ck.

Hey, you

Did the books come in?

Forget it. Just go.

What the hell?

Then why did you post it online?

Stop bothering me and just go.

And I didn't f*cking post anything!

Why are you yelling at me?

I know it's in here.

- Hey, stop it and just go, for God's sake.

- Come on!

Get lost

- Move aside.

- We already know.

f*ck off!

sh*t. What the f*ck!

Seo Dooyeop.

Who are you?

Hey, they're mine. Don't touch them.

I was worried the police might catch you.

Don't.

The heavens also want it this way.

Hey, don't. Stop it, you b*stard!

You b*stard!

Did Junsik send you? To cut me off?

Repent.

Apologize to the family you k*lled.

What? Repent?

I thought Junsik sent you.

You had me there for a second.

You son of a b*tch.

Hey.

Hey! f*ck!

Do you know what you've done? You sh*t.

Who the hell are you?

Please spare me.

You didn't spare them.

They begged you to spare them,

but you k*lled them anyway!

Please don't k*ll me.

Please,

spare me

Milky way

Remember them?

Is a laurel and a rabbit

Apologize.

To Seungwoo.

To Seungwoo's mother.

To Seungmi. Admit that you deserve to die.

Yes. I'll apologize.

Baby's journey to the West Country

Is going smoothly

Stop!

It seems someone took out

the dashcam's memory card.

How did you find this place?

Seo Dooyeop's phone was turned on

and tracked to this location.

This was the last screen on his phone.

He was looking at that

moments before dying?

It's the account of the victim

that Seo Dooyeop k*lled.

Sir.

There are a lot of press requests.

What should we do?

Reject all of them,

or it'll get out of control.

Yes, sir.

As an organization

that protects our people,

the police promise to put an end

to the criminal acts

disturbing the public order

as soon as possible.

We promise that there will not be any more

victims related to this case.

What's the Vigilante doing?

- Why are they trying to catch him?

- I know, right?

I'm going to write a comment.

We will make it clear

that criminals must only

be punished by the law.

INVESTIGATION HEADQUARTERS FORMED

As this is an issue

with heightened public attention,

a special investigation headquarters

will be formed with the cooperation

of all agencies and police personnel.

We will do everything we can to capture

the criminal as soon as possible.

Why do you think

he's called the Vigilante?

Why are people going wild over him?

Because people are discontent

with the current legal system.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying it's okay

to beat up or k*ll people?

Why does the law exist?

It exists to judge fairly and impartially

without getting emotional.

Right. Fairly and impartially.

But look at how they rule.

The judges ignore the weak.

They judge without paying enough attention

to what victims have to say.

Isn't that why people are crazy

for the Vigilante?

Why do you keep

calling him the Vigilante?

He's nothing but a criminal.

The star is here!

Ms. Choi!

- Choi!

- You're the best!

Our ad spots are sold out!

And the rates have soared, too!

And what else?

We're getting a lot of calls.

The director loves it. He's over the moon!

Here's a cake for you!

- Blow out the candles!

- Blow out the candles!

Turn on the lights!

What the hell are you doing?

We have to find out where Seo Dooyeop died

and prepare for the broadcast

about the Vigilante!

I already looked into it.

They rejected interview requests

and only disclosed simple information.

Simple information?

- Let me see.

- Hey, show her.

Just a second.

Here.

HAN RIVER FOUL PLAY m*rder CASE

INVESTIGATION REPOR

There are photos.

The Han River.

Someplace where there are few people.

The grass! The piers!

The Vigilante bit the bait

we put a lot of effort into, again.

And you're going to doze off,

eat chicken, dance,

and have fun drinking beer?

She's right. Let's clean this up.

And let's get back to work

and work hard together

with a sense of purpose.

Let's work.

Don't throw away the sauce.

Divide the areas, narrow them down,

and check the street views thoroughly!

- Okay.

- On it.

Han and the camera crew, follow me.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Where are you going?

Can't you see what the public wants?

All right.

MORE CRIMINALS TURNING THEMSELVES IN

RELEASED PRISONERS SHIVERING WITH FEAR

Crime rates have decreased this month

all thanks to the Vigilante?

Please

This is why reporters are called trash.

Goodness.

God damn it!

Let's do as we're ordered.

What choice do we have?

Sir. How did it go?

The regional unit's taking over.

Does that mean it's out of our hands now?

No. We'll be working with them.

With the regional unit.

You mean, with that monster team leader?

COLLECT BILLS AND COINS HERE

That's mine.

Mr. Koo Sungyeol, right?

I'm with the police.

May I talk to you for a moment?

The police?

I have nothing to say.

Give me back my coin.

It won't take long.

Please make time for me.

Seriously, what is this about?

Are you a loan shark?

I really am a cop.

Sir.

I promise I'll pay you back

within this month.

I started a new job.

I can make the 90 million in no time.

When you met Seo Dooyeop

Dooyeop?

Did you see anyone suspicious around you?

So you really aren't Mr. Kim's guy?

What the f*ck? Are you f*cking kidding me?

I thought you were here to collect money!

What the hell is this?

A cop dragging people out here like this?

Who the f*ck do you think you are?

Do you have a warrant?

You don't seem to get it.

Mr. Koo Sungyeol.

From now on,

I'll speak informally to you.

Go ahead, you f*cking pig.

Jerks only understand

when I speak informally.

I am a cop,

but not the one you know.

I'll ask you again.

Have you seen anyone suspicious

around Seo Dooyeop recently?

Someone you've never seen before.

Come to think of it,

Dooyeop told me

You piece of sh*t!

Son of a b*tch.

No. Please

- Three.

- Please!

Two.

He suddenly

gave me a Busan DEA agent's number and

asked me to call and find out who it was.

One!

I don't know

who you're looking for,

but if they met at the club,

it can't be someone old.

It must be a young person. Probably.

Please.

It must be someone young.

Yes, this is Jo Heon,

team leader of the regional unit.

Don't worry.

This is not the age of Arsene Lupin.

The evidence will turn up.

And he'll get caught eventually.

I guarantee it.

People will forget about the Vigilante.

I will make sure of it.
