TAEKROK: I'm never running
again when I retire.

No matter what
happens, I'm walking.

Hang in there for a bit longer.

My pension is just
around the corner.

A pack of cigarettes, too.

Hey! Hey, remove this! Okay?

Hey, I said come remove

Detective, why

Took your sweet

TAEKROK: The money

(grumbling)

SCAMMER: Let go of me!

(grunts)

Hey!

(yelps)

Aah! (groans)

What are you doing? Cuff him.

SCAMMER: No!

(whimpers)

Stop it. No.

No.

- Look, you were caught in the act.
- It hurts, gosh.

- TAEKROK: Take him away.
- Wait.

Stay still!

SHADOW DETECTIVE

NOEUL GOSIWON

REPORTER: Geumo City recently announced
the Geumo City Five-Year Development Plan,

which will serve as a guide for
urban growth and development

over the next five years.

Geumo City recently launched
its first development project

by attracting large-scale
industrial complexes.

Using this as a stepping stone, the
Geumo City Five-Year Development Plan…

GONG: That idiot.

(TV chatter)

Detective. Wait,
this is my kimchi.

My name's written right there!

What's the matter now?

Room 405 left
without paying rent.

I couldn't get hold of him for a week,
so I went to his room and it was empty.

- Try Room 308.
- Room 308?

Room 308 and Room 405
had the same sneakers.

(suspenseful music)

GONG: Matching sneakers?

TAEKROK: Seemed to have those matching
rings, too. They were the same.

When did you even
notice all that?

Hey, you can't even notice
that in this tiny place?

There aren't exactly
many people living here.

And you want to be a
cop, with those eyes?

You should just quit, kid.

(mutters)

I'm going to k*ll that jerk.

I'm not eating it.
I'm not, you punk.

REPORTER: We're planning on
continuing the conversation.

On today's News N Peoples,

we have the person in charge
of the safety of Geumo.

The chief of police at Geumo
police station, Seo Gwangsu.

- Welcome.
- Yes, hello.

I'm Seo Gwangsu, chief of
police at Geumo police station.

Geumo introduced a crime
prevention system in an attempt

to intensively inspect areas
where security is unstable,

and to make Geumo a place where
citizens can be assured of their safety.

GWANGSU: In Geumo, which has the
characteristics of a port city,

we set up a special investigation
team for drug criminality

that is becoming increasingly
more organized and intelligent.

And with strict management
and response from the get-go

we're putting all our
efforts into creating

- a drug-free city.
- MAN 2: Come here, quickly!

REPORTER: Were there any challenges in
creating this crime prevention system?

GWANGSU: Of course, this kind of
system isn't established overnight.

However, every single
member of Geumo Police

is working hard for
the safety of Guemo,

which is why we were able to
overcome those challenges.

Not only for crime prevention, but
also, the protection of victims' rights…

- Come on already.

- He still hasn't answered?
- No, he's still not answering.

(overlapping chatter)

KYUNGCHAN: Detective!

Hello.

- Who...
- I...

Hey, Officer Son! What
are you doing here?

I came down from Seoul
to learn from you.

It's an honor to be on
the same team as you.

- Check Ma Sanggu's location again.
- Yes, sir.

- What?
- One moment.

What?

- Just a moment.
- No.

- Come on.
- Jeez.

What happened to your nose?

Let the kids do most of
the work from now on.

Who was it?

Nose hair.

That nose hair punk
from Wolpa-dong?

I was trimming my nose hair!

Just get yourself a nose hair trimmer.
It doesn't even cost that much.

So where were you the past few
days? You didn't even text me.

I know I joined the force after
you, I'm still the team leader.

I'll write up a statement.

You mean a written
apology. Where were you?

I was at Oh's funeral.

Okay?

Detective Oh passed away? When?
I didn't hear anything about it.

He was an old man living alone.
Who could have spread the word?

Oh, dear.

(clicks tongue)

FIRE AT LIQUOR
WAREHOUSE IN GU-DONG

What are these?

Well, this is for Team Two over
there, and this is for Team Three.

Again? You want me to gather them
around and give them pointers?

The chief won't stop nagging,
and the kids don't get it right.

Help me just this
once. It's k*lling me.

That Seo Gwangsu. Darn it.

Question the guys at the intersection.
Something is bound to turn up.

And for this,

make inquiries to Tongin
and Munju stations

about similar cases and
ask for cooperation.

It's an outsider's job.

Work together. Don't hold
back for your performance.

That's how you
catch the suspect.

This case...

(sighs)

SERIAL THEFT AT HAKGIL CAFE

Wait.

If you act rashly, whoever
did this will disappear.

- Let it sit for a bit.
- Until when?

How many suspects are there?

There are three.

Get the security footage of
the residences of all three.

Check with the crime scene station for
a month ago, and check the numbers.

Due to the nature of the case,

they must have ran several
preliminary trials for the route.

Put the guys undercover.

They'll definitely strike again.

Here.

What's this?

The Commissioner's commendation
for solving that robbery last time.

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION

- What about the award money?
- There isn't any this time.

Darn it.

Come on, you can't
just throw it away.

At least keep it in your drawer.

What's up with him?

Well, that's...

I thought you knew him well?

POLICE OFFICER
PERSONNEL RECORD CARD

What? Know him well?

He's just a kid who assisted me
when I was dispatched to Seoul.

Darn, this is so annoying.

Taekrok.

What now?

Did you hear from
Hyunseok at all?

- Hear what?
- You know...

It must not be easy, dealing
with the chief's mess.

Check on him when you
can, like old times.

(clicks tongue)

Well...

He'll be fine.

Detective! A moment, please.

What, kid?

I've trained in martial arts and built
up my courage to become a detective.

EP 01 MY EFFORTS TO BECOME
A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE

(light music playing)

(Kyungchan yelling)

That's impressive.

Ooh. (chuckles)

MY DREAM OF BEING A
HOMICIDE DETECTIVE

DON'T LOOK AROUND
AND DON'T LOOK BACK

"Don't look around
and don't look back"?

Yes, sir! I only look forward. I think
it's my weakness and my strength.

Huh.

- Thank you.
- Ma Sanggu?

- At the Seongdong intersection arcade.
- Let's go.

Taekrok.

(sighs)

- You coming?
- Yes!

(suspenseful music)

Take my car.

(siren wailing in distance)

It's okay. We'll take mine.

We should hurry.

(suspenseful music)

(cell phone buzzes)

NO CALLER ID

We're here.

There, pull up to the front.

There's a guy in there called Ma
Sanggu with five previous convictions.

Here.

(clears throat)

TAEKROK: He delivers gas.

I see, delivers gas?

He's a drug dealer.

Go inside and find him...

Just identify him and come out.

- By myself?
- He knows our faces.

Are you scared?

No, of course not.

Don't give yourself away. He
shanks cops when he's cornered.

- He has an attempted m*rder charge.
- Gosh, why...

- SUNGA: It's true.
- Attempted m*rder.

(Kyungchan scoffs)

- The life of a homicide detective...
- (honks)

Oh, dear.

I'll be back, sir.

Just let the whole world
know, why don't you?

(background chatter)

(suspenseful music)

- Is this your first time here?
- (gasps)

Yes.

- Do you want some change?
- Yes, I do.

(snickering)

How much?

Oh, it looks like I forgot my
wallet. I'll come back another time.

We can start a tab for you.

- Just play one game.
- No, I'm not fond of tabs... I'm good.

Boss, do you know this guy?

(grunts)

He was looking at you like that?

Jeez... Darn it.

(Kyungchan grumbling)

(Kyungchan panting)

Hey! Why were you
looking at me like that?

- Do you know me?
- I've never seen you in my life.

(Kyungchan panting)

(inhales sharply)

Are you a detective?

Darn it.

You're new.

I'm a homicide detective,
Son Kyungchan, darn it!

(men laughing)

(Kyungchan grunts)

SANGGU: Hey, wait. "Darn it?"

If you're a detective, why do you
sound so awkward when you swear?

You have no idea
who I am, do you?

Gosh, your eyes. They're
so darn full of life.

- You want me to scratch your eyeballs?
- No.

- Hey, detective.
- KYUNGCHAN: No.

- SANGGU: Why are you here?
- (Kyungchan whimpering)

Why are you here?

- (thwacking)
- (men groaning)

Jeez, darn it!

(ominous music)

Arrest them.

KYUNGCHAN: Right.

Ahh.

He's one of Detective Lee's men.

We'll be carrying out our
official police duties now.

Darn, why did you
show up unexpectedly?

You could have called first.

- SANGGU: Guys.
- MAN 1: Yes sir!

- (groans)
- (thuds)

(shatters)

- (clatters)
- (grumbles)

(suspenseful music)

(Taekrok snickers)

- Long time no see.
- Yes.

Darn it.

(funky music)

(grumbles)

(breathing heavily)

(cell phone buzzing)

This old man. Why the heck is he
calling when he's already chasing me?

(panting)

- Yes, hello.
- Stop right there, jerk.

You stop first, then.

Okay, we'll stop together
on the count of three.

Okay.

-One -Two.

Three.

(both panting)

SANGGU: Darn it.

(Sanggu gurgles, spits)

Hey, I told you to
stop delivering gas.

- I'm not. Darn it.
- Who else is making the deliveries, then?

- How could I sell something I don't have?
- Is it Mr. Cheon?

You get drugs from
Mr. Cheon, right?

Where is that punk?

Why are you asking me about him?

- Hey, just give me Mr. Cheon.
- I really have no idea where he is.

I'm leaving now.

Hey. I told you to stop.

I told you I'm leaving.

- It's up to you to chase me if you want.
- Wait...

Whoa! (groaning)

(grunts)

(groans)

TAEKROK: Are you okay?

- Sir, are you all right?
- What?

Yes, I'm fine.

That's the suspect, right?

- What?
- Do you want my help?

No, stay out of it. It's
dangerous. Hey, it's dangerous!

That darn...

Call Geumo police station!

(groans)

(lively music)

GUARD: Hey, stop! You!
Hey! Stop right there!

- I said stop!
- SANGGU: Darn!

- GUARD: Hey, stop right there!
- Why is that punk coming after me?

I said stop. Hey, hurry up.

Why are you chasing after me?

Are you a cop?

You should respect your elders,
even if you're a criminal.

What is this lunatic
talking about?

- Get lost.
- Stop, you're going to hurt yourself.

I'm going to k*ll
you, you damn idiot!

(panting)

(hissing)

(Sanggu groans)

It hurts, you punk.
Darn it. (groaning)

SANGGU: It hurts!

(Sanggu snickers)

(Taekrok panting)

(Taekrok wheezing)

Detective, are you all right?

SANGGU: Should I call 911?

You scumbag...

(Taekrok panting)

(Taekrok gasps)

SANGGU: Ow.

- sh**t.
- Hey!

Come to Homicide at Geumo police station,
I'll give you the Brave Citizen Award.

You better hope you
don't run into me again!

Didn't I tell you to stop, punk?

Where's Mr. Cheon?

I told you it's been a
while since I last saw him.

Hey, you really want
to do this with me?

Seriously, why would I lie
when I'm already caught?

Does Woo Hyunseok still
meet with Mr. Cheon?

Don't mix me in with
those two, I'm serious.

I have nothing to do
with them, honestly.

I really have no idea. Really,
never, none whatsoever!

Detective Na. Hello.

SANGGU: You could
have said hello back.

(trills)

CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
SUPERINTENDANT WOO HYUNSEOK

(Hyunseok sighs)

(cell phone buzzing)

- Hello.
- Where are you?

HYUNSEOK: Is there
nothing else besides this?

None?

Darn. Yes, Taekrok.

I'm in a meeting right
now so I'm kind of busy.

I said we should meet up.
Why won't you get back to me?

This isn't it.

Go look again.

I'm sorry, Taekrok.

What's up?

(sighs)

We should meet up.

I'll be in touch,
for real this time.

KIM TAEKROK

(ominous music)

CHAIRMAN JANG, REDEVELOPMENT,
CONFLICT, ANNIHILATION... KIM TAEKROK

Was everyone dispatched?

- They're at the restaurant.
- Restaurant?

The chief told everyone to gather up,
because the new section chief is here.

TRADITIONAL BEEF BONE SOUP,
SHORT RIP SOUP, OX KNEE SOUP

- Yes. All right.
- (camera shutter clicks)

- You made it.
- Yes.

Taekrok, hand over the job
to the kids and take it easy.

Retirement's not that
far away for you and me.

Well, then, stop
nagging the kids.

(Gwangsu chuckles)

He's so...

Taekrok, we're
still on the clock.

- I'm taking the afternoon off.
- The afternoon off?

Who's that commendation guy?

- SUNGA: Commendation guy?
- (cap clatters)

Now, this is Superintendent Kook Jinhan,
the new Chief Investigation Officer.

Introduce yourself.

(applause)

Hello, I'm Kook Jinhan.

Some of you may know,

when I was at the main office,
I stood up to my superior

- and was demoted to Geumo police station.
- (scoffs)

(Gwangsu laughs)

Superintendent Kook,
you're as bold as they say.

After being assigned to
Geumo, I contemplated a lot.

I will do my best for the development
and well-being of Geumo Police.

(applause)

One thing I want to ask

is those who think they've
reached their limits

should get themselves out of
the field and into a desk job,

transfer to another office,
or take a leave of...

absence.

(chuckles)

Team Leader Bae.

Well, enjoy.

- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you, sir.

Sure!

(chairs rattling)

(background chatter)

Were you offended?

(scoffs)

So I guess not everyone can
stand up against the big g*ns.

You're one to talk.

You were demoted twice after standing
up to the former commissioners.

Which is why you're
still a lieutenant.

They told me a lot about you
when I said I was coming here.

"Get rid of the old fool?"

Something like that.

If I don't keep you in check,
you'll keep me in check.

(scoffs)

Well, you are welcome to try.

Unfortunately, I
won't be able to help.

Too busy keeping perps in check.

(sighs)

(groaning)

This old body of mine, even a
bit of running makes my knees...

Apart from age,

I'm not going to have people below my
rank die in the line of duty before I do.

You being out of breath after running
that short distance is a nuisance.

You're crossing
a line, you know.

Dying on the job is my dream!

I'm uncomfortable with older detectives
who tend to speak informally to me.

I suggest you show some respect to
your superior with the words you use.

If you have a problem,
take disciplinary action.

Or you can also
speak informally.

I like being uncomfortable.

(tense music)

Why does Taekrok keep
wanting to see you?

(sighs)

Is it because...

No, I don't think so.

It's just that there have been a lot of
drug cases in our jurisdiction lately,

- so probably...
- Who on earth keeps distributing drugs?

Mr. Cheon isn't
even around anymore.

I'll look into it.

(sighs)

Did you look into
the other thing?

It was a burner phone.

Was there no further contact?

You're certain?

You should be careful for the time
being, until things settle down.

(sighs)

What's there to settle down?

(foreboding music)

Safety, of course.
Safety for us all.

Have you been contacted at all?

(knocks on door)

Yes, come in.

GWANGSU: Yes.

You know each other,
right? Say hi.

This is Superintendent Woo Hyunseok.
The new Chief Investigation Officer.

Of course, I'm familiar.

An elite and a man
of many talents.

I think you may be a bit
over-qualified for our station.

The real man of many talents
is you, Section Chief Woo.

They say you're thorough
throughout day and night.

(laughter)

Thorough throughout
day and night?

Team Leader Bae, you can go now.

There have been rumors that you
handle your business very neatly.

(men snicker)

Recently, with the city planning,
redevelopment, and what not,

outsiders keep going in and out,

making an absolute mess
out of the jurisdiction.

It's reassuring to
see the two of you.

(chuckles)

Well, I'm just going to be
following Mr. Woo's lead.

(scoffs)

Now, what would a
hillbilly like me know?

(laughs)

(classical music playing)

690,000 WON, 50% OFF

- Excuse me.
- Yes.

Is it half this price?

No, the discount has
already been applied.

(exhales sharply)

Sir, fit is very important
these days regardless of age.

This would look great on you.
Would you like to try it on?

Please, try it on.

Trying on clothes is very different
from just looking at them.

Here, go inside and try it on.

SALESWOMAN: Oh, my.

Sir, it looks like it
was custom-made for you.

(chuckles)

How... (clears throat)

- How much is this?
- It's 850,000 won.

On sale?

This just came in,
so it's not on sale.

What is the price
range you have in mind?

Around 300,000 won.

Okay, just a moment.

Okay.

This color would look better
on you. Let's try it on.

(mutters)

(grunts)

Do you like the clothes
but not the price?

Yes, well... (clears throat)

No need to look at the price.

I'll buy it for you as a gift.

- Oh.
- (chuckles)

- How did you know I was here?
- I followed you.

(giggles)

Go with this one, it
looks good on you.

You look nice.

(laughs)

You should have gone with the one I
chose. I wanted to buy it for you.

It costs over 50,000 won.

It's just a consultation
fee, not a solicitation.

- (cell phone buzzes)
- I feel sorry when I think of Jiwoo as is.

Not being able to be
there, because of work.

WOO HYUNSEOK

Yes.

Where?

Yes, okay.

Let's have dinner together. I
have something to ask you, too.

Some other time.

How are you doing?

No seizures.

And the medication?

Well, I have some left.

Don't forget to take it, okay?

See you next time.

(camera shutter clicking)

You seem to be in good condition
today, Chief? Even making an eagle.

- (laughs)
- You're paying for lunch today, Eagle.

Hey, it seems like just two days
ago I was popping your golf cherry.

- Popping my what?
- (snickers)

Hey, what kind of a hospital
director uses such vulgar language?

Why are you being so sensitive?

Gwangsu, I guess you've been sensitive
since you started living off my family.

When was that?

That's from when we
were little kids.

Gwangsu's family used
to rent our basement.

(sucks teeth)

Now that I think about it,
you've grown quite a bit, right?

Becoming our neighborhood
police chief, golfing with us.

Councilman, is he really going to
be nominated for the next election?

Why, of course.

Our police chief would be elected
the moment he entered the race.

And the other party is
eager to bring him in, too.

- Is that so?
- (men snicker)

Gwangsu, you're quite the
big deal now, aren't you?

(laughs)

Well, honestly, among
the people here,

is there anyone who doesn't owe
one to our police chief? Anyone?

Gosh, no one.

Let me fill your glasses. Take
your hand down from his shoulder.

- Here.
- You, in particular,

got a lot of help, because you went
to school together, didn't you?

We've all helped each
other for decades.

So, I decided to take this
chance and head the sponsorship

to get the police chief
into the city council.

What do you think? Is that okay?

I would be grateful.

(men chuckle)

Now...

Today, in celebration of the Chief's
entry into politics, I'll pay.

The supporters' association
has been formed today, okay?

Let's use the city council as a
stepping stone to the National Assembly!

- Let's go!
- (yelps)

- Nice!
- Election!

Here, let's drink to it.

- Have a drink.
- That's nice.

To the election of our police
chief to the city council!

- To his election!
- To his election!

(men laugh)

(birds chirping)

(cell phone buzzing)

NO CALLER ID

MALE VOICE: Stylish
old friend of mine.

- Long time no speak.
- Hey, man.

I'm a cop, okay?

You sound too old
to be prank-calling.

- Where are you going?
- What does it matter to you?

Of course, it matters.

Let me put it bluntly.

Don't go, you'll
regret it if you go.

- Is that a threat?
- It's a start.

This is fun, being threatened at
this age. I look forward to it.

Go home, shower, and go to bed.

I mean it.

Hey, if you keep calling me I'm going to
trace your number and you'll be sorry.

Hang up.

The older you get, the
more stubborn you become.

I'll call back later.

Don't be startled.

- Brace yourself.
- (line beeps)

MOKRO TAVERN

TAEKROK: When did you get here?

HYUNSEOK: I just got here.

- TAEKROK: Hello.
- HYUNSEOK: Hi.

(Taekrok clears throat)

What are you two doing here?
I thought you were dead.

I see you're still alive, too.

You fool. I'm going
to outlive you.

Did you two fight?

Why are you sulking?

What do you mean fight?
We're too old for that.

Don't be silly, you punks.

Don't say you're old when I'm
standing right in front of you.

She's still the same.

We haven't been here since
you became team leader, right?

I guess so.

Time flies.

(humming)

DETECTIVE 1: Hey, isn't
that Section Chief Woo?

- Who? And that's Detective Kim.
- Right?

They drink together?

Gosh, it's been a while since
I've seen them together.

Are they close?

- Yes.
- No, they can't be.

They were really
close back in the day.

So, what, do you want
to go somewhere else?

- Yes, let's go somewhere else.
- Okay.

(grunting)

Gosh, that's bitter.

The old days were good, Taekrok.

They can be good again.

Where's Mr. Cheon?

Hey, I said no drugs, didn't I?

Who is it?

Behind you? Is it Woo Hyunseok?

What?

- That was abrupt.
- Ma Sanggu is getting drugs

from Mr. Cheon, right?

And you're covering for them?

Where's Mr. Cheon?

Hey, Section Chief Woo.

Kim Taekrok, that old man.

Why is he so eager to get me?

Cover for me.

Before I k*ll you.

Got it?

Are you saying I'm
involved with drugs?

When I know how much you
hate the idea, why...

You.

Police Chief Seo, Mr. Cheon.

Should I look into the
relationship between you three?

Hm?

Turn things upside down again?

Look into what?

Turn what upside down?

I'm done with Mr. Cheon for
good. He left the country.

Who knows if he left,
hid, or was hidden?

(Hyunseok sighs)

Taekrok, I'm telling you.

Mr. Cheon, he's irrelevant.

And that's not what's
important right now.

Then what is important?

What are you trying to say?

Well...

(scoffs)

(sighs)

(inhales deeply)

Hyunseok, listen to me.

For the last time.

I'll take care of everything.

You can't do this alone.

Right?

(scoffs)

Gosh, he's driving me crazy...

Can you really handle it?

I can.

Then...

(cell phone buzzing)

(sighs)

To begin, order the frozen pollack
stew that we used to have all the time.

- (snickers)
- (door opens, closes)

Ma'am, one frozen
pollack stew, please.

With a lot of chili peppers.

NOEUL GOSIWON ENTRANCE

(tense music)

Aah.

Thank you.

(sighs)

Taekrok, let's meet
again tomorrow.

I swear I'll tell
you everything.

It'll all be over tomorrow.

TO KIM TAEKROK, SHIN JUNGAE

I don't have pictures of
her after elementary school.

(music fades)

Hey.

Who's next door to me?

Next door?

He's new, right?

Yes, it's been a few
days. What's this about?

How long?

I guess maybe a week?

Who is it?

What's this about? Is he loud?

No.

He's too quiet.

(sighs)

- Give me his application for admission.
- No, it's private information.

You punk. Go to the restroom.

TAEKROK: Hurry.

ARSON ATTACK, YANG KITAE

Come out! Aren't you going to come
out? I'm going to break the door!

What are you doing?

- Bring me the key to this room.
- This is crazy.

If you don't bring
it, I'll bust in.

(lock clanks)

(doorknob squeaks)

(suspenseful music)

What are you? Tell me.

You still have
your sentence left.

It's been a while
since I got out.

Exceptional grades in
correctional education.

My reformation and
rehabilitation are great.

Relax your eyes. I'm a model prisoner
that the government recognizes.

Do you still think I'm the real
culprit in the arson attack?

(scoffs)

The victim pointed you out, man.

The circumstances and
evidence say you did it.

I've been framed.
That was all staged.

By who, you idiot?

Someone must have staged it.

It's not you.

Right?

It really wasn't me.

You went on about being framed
for the theft case, too.

That...

(scoffs)

Okay, let's say I did that.
But the arson really wasn't me.

What could I possibly get
out of that homeless guy?

Did you come here
knowing I was here?

- Yes.
- Why?

Because I have to live, too.

(scoffs)

What do you want?

Well, you'll see.

- Move out.
- No.

Not until I clear my name.

Don't eavesdrop.

I just hear things. How is it
worse than a jail cell here?

And you.

Don't knock on the wall.

Answer your phone right away.

It's all like that
here, you jerk.

Yes, sure. We're neighbors now, so
I'll just try and ignore the noise!

Hey.

I'm going to trace

I'll see you at the station.

There's no leniency.

MALE VOICE: Did
you brace yourself?

Yes. I'm ready to be shocked.

What is it?

Section Chief Woo Hyunseok.

He's currently dying.

(ominous music)

Who are you?

I told you I'm a friend.

- Write this down.
- Just say it.

What are you doing? You're
forgetful these days.

There's no time,
write this down.

Talk.

It's 2.5 kilometers from Geumosan
Mountain hiking trail number 3.

Come to the cliff on the
