Is he asleep?

[lock clicks]

What are you doing?

Gong!

NOEUL GOSIWON

[suspenseful music]

Mr. Suspect?

Hey, Citizen Award! Did
you see a guy just now?

Over there. The small car.

Follow him!

Who is he?

The culprit. Hurry.

Mr. Woo's case?

No, the overpass arson case.

What? What do you mean?

Just drive.

[theme music]

SHADOW DETECTIVE

Whose house is this now?

Get some more sleep.

Don't you think Taekrok
is acting strange lately?

Lately?

You haven't known him
long enough to say that.

I mean, with Mr. Woo's
case and the buried body.

[sighs]

I don't even know why we're
staking this place out.

[sighs] Wake me up in an hour.

[clears throat]

How did you become
Taekrok's partner?

Because no one would take him.

But what made you trust him?

- Why do you trust him so much?
- Why can't I trust him?

What about you? Why did
you want to work with him?

- I have my reason.
- Reason?

- How do you feel about dating a coworker?
- What reason?

When I met him in Seoul, I thought I
wanted to become a detective like him.

[sighs]

What's the overpass arson
case? And who is that guy?

I have to catch him to catch
the one who k*lled Woo.

- What are you...
- They're all linked.

What?

Hey! You're losing
him! Get closer! Jeez!

This is a narrow street!

Well, what kind of
cop drives a sedan?

[suspenseful music]

Let's take one each.

[tires screech]

You brought your g*n, right?

No.

You take the back,
I'll take the front.

CALLS

YESTERDAY

[trills]

[cell phone buzzing]

Did you get it done?

Tell him to meet you under
the overpass. Got it?

Yeah, meet me under
the overpass now.

Now?

It's late. I'll
meet you tomorrow.

Come on, I have to leave
this place tonight!

Fine, I'll see you there.

- Is it this kid?
- No.

It's him. The hospital
director's son.

"Leave this place tonight." Is that
code for "get the hell out now"?

[police siren wailing]

[cell phone buzzing]

What is it?

I think I'm in trouble.

What now?

This is all because of you, Dad!

I'm going to leave the country.

Now.

Right now!

- [cell phone trills]
- [line rings]

SUNGA: Hello?

Hey, is he there?

Yes, he's at home.

He just came out. What now?

Make an emergency arrest.

For now, charge him with
conspiracy to commit m*rder.

- Stop him.
- Yes, ma'am.

What? What's this lunatic doing?

[horn honks]

- Mr. An Juyong?
- What are you doing?

- KYUNGCHAN: You're Mr. An Juyong, right?
- What?

Move your car.

Move your...

You're under arrest for
conspiracy to commit m*rder.

- Are you crazy?
- You have the right to remain silent.

You have the chance to defend
yourself and the right to an attorney.

You may also file a
writ of habeas corpus.

[grunts]

Let me go.

Let go!

- Go to the police chief's house.
- DRIVER: Yes, sir.

[doorbell dings]

I must've woken you. Sorry.

Where's your wife?

She's visiting my son in Seoul.

Are you in trouble?
Is it you or Juyong?

Both of us.

[sighs]

- What is it?
- My son has been arrested.

By your officers.

How long are you
going to keep this up?

Juyong hired a man to
k*ll someone and failed.

k*ll who?

- Yang Kitae.
- Who?

The culprit of the overpass
arson case five years ago.

You wouldn't know, but it's
actually my son who did it.

Woo Hyunseok covered it up.

[sighs]

You've got to be kidding me.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hey.

Hello, chief. I'm sorry to bother you so
late at night. I have an urgent report.

What is it?

We've got a contract
k*lling case.

Although the attempt failed,

we've captured the contractor and hitman,
and are taking them to the station now.

And?

I'm afraid we'll have to call in

and question the director
of Geumo Hospital.

The contractor is his son.

Follow protocol and proceed.

Gwangsu, please help me.

How?

I'll bow out of the election.

You were no match for me anyway.

If I decide to go all out, it'll
be hard for you to beat me.

And what if I decide
to go all out too?

I could reinvestigate all
your malpractice cases

that I covered up one by one.

Who will be in
bigger trouble then?

It's too late.

Aren't we friends?

[scoffs]

Friends?

That was when we were kids.

I'm not going down alone.

The things that you
and Woo Hyunseok did...

[sighs]

It's not just me and Hyunseok.

It's us, including you.

And when Hyunseok died, he
carried all the blame with him.

Don't tell me you...

Besides, do you think the city development
committee will just sit back and watch?

If I take a hit,
they'll all go down.

You know that.

Are you really...

Even if he goes to prison, he won't lose
his medical license, no matter how long.

Although how long it is
would be an important factor.

Let me give you one last
piece of friendly advice.

You need to keep your hospital,

so your son can make a living
when he gets out of prison. Right?

So just shut up and
do as I say, friend.

[ominous music]

TAEKROK: Yeah. You can
sort it out with Kook.

An Juyong is being taken
to the station now.

All right.

Chief says we can
follow protocol.

Did you tell him about
the hospital director?

- Did he say anything?
- No, nothing.

TAEKROK: Does that
mean he's confident?

OFFICER 1: Sir.

We're all finished here.

TAEKROK: Did Woo Hyunseok
really do it by himself? Or...

Chief Seo is involved in these
tasks that Friend is giving me

just as much as Cheon.

There's no way the
chief k*lled Hyunseok.

So what's the connection?

In any case, the chief and Cheon

are both the most important
leads for finding Friend.

FRIEND: I have a lot
of people helping me.

It'd be possible with
the chief or Cheon.

By the way, how did you know
that he's the real culprit?

It's a typical tactic.

A typical tactic?

You just have to use
their guilty conscience.

[water trickling]

GEUMO POLICE STATION

Let's start over.

You attempted to have
Mr. Yang Kitae k*lled.

What kind of deal did you
make with Mr. Woo Hyunseok

who was on his case
five years ago?

When is my lawyer
going to be here?

What's he doing?

[sighs]

- Are you going to keep pretending?
- What?

I haven't been here for long,
but I've seen it all already.

It's an interesting little town.

The police here are covering
for a scumbag like you.

Stuff like fabrication and
concealment happens every day,

but there was no
evidence or witness.

So what?

The case was too big for
Woo to handle it himself.

Who was it?

You know, don't you?

Is it the chief here?

JINHAN: Give me the higher-up,

and I'll get you the
lightest sentence possible.

- Lightest sentence?
- I'm in charge of your case, b*stard.

His lawyer is here.

Get in there now.

I'm following protocol,
within my authority.

This case, as well as Woo's death,
will be handled by another precinct.

You're off the
case now. Take him.

Yes, sir.

Chief.

I'm following protocol,
within my authority.

May I have a word with you?

Yes, it's about time we do.

Close the door behind you.

Yes, sir.

Turn everything off.

- What do you want to know?
- I believe Mr. Woo was m*rder*d.

I also believe that the arson case
has something to do with his death.

- You're suspicious of me?
- I'm open to all possibilities.

You think I k*lled Woo?

Do you think I played a part in
concealing and fabricating the arson case?

If you reconsider the
transfer, it'll become clear.

That's why I'm handing them off.

For a clear and
objective investigation.

Would you be able to carry out a
proper investigation against me?

I'm your immediate superior.

I promised the detectives that
I'll let them investigate freely.

That I'll protect them
from all external pressure.

Then feel free to take it
up with the head office.

Which precinct will
be taking over?

[breathes deeply]

At work, you have to put the
organization's needs before your own.

Even more so with us police.

You should know that by now.

Accept it.

Go get some rest. And
change your clothes.

And when you get a hold of Detective
Kim Taekrok, tell him to call me.

He's not answering my calls.

And you've already
crossed the line

suspecting my son.

YEONGSEO GEUMO POLICE STATION

NAME: KOOK JINHAN

CHUNGJEONG-RO POLICE OFFICE
SEODAEMUN POLICE INVESTIGATION



[approaching footsteps]

You're up.

The hole...

Why is there a hole in my door?

You wake up at the sound of my phone
buzzing, and yet, you slept through this?

I was anxious, so I took
some sleeping pills.

I found the real culprit.

I never asked you to catch the culprit.
I asked you to get me my money!

Apply for a retrial.
I'll get you a lawyer.

For some cheap compensation!

What are you going
to do about my money?

Look, he was going to k*ll you!

You idiot.

I mean... Did you think
it was going to be easy?

That's why I moved
next door to you!

Hold up.

How did you know he was
going to come for me?

He's offering a billion?

[suspenseful music]

[line rings]

Seo Yoonjae?

- YOONJAE: Who's this?
- It's me, Yang Kitae.

Thanks to you, I spent the
last five years in the slammer.

- Right, good work.
- [line beeps]

Wow, that was rude. He hung up.

- It's like you were reading a book aloud.
- I just read what you gave me.

Call An Juyong.

And try to sound more natural.

This really isn't my
kind of thing. sh**t.

I mean, I can't
get into character.

Come on, this is your specialty.

- What is?
- Forgery.

Forging is different
from acting.

Just do it.

- [breathes heavily]
- [line rings]

JUYONG: Hello?

An Juyong?

[tense music]

- Who is this?
- DONGBUM: It's me, Yang Kitae.

Thanks to you, I spent the
last five years in the slammer.

Give me money and
I'll call it even.

Give me a billion won, and
I'll stay quiet my whole life.

What is this psycho
saying? Who are you?

That hobo you set
on fire. I got him.

And before Woo Hyunseok died,
I met with him. Here, listen.

HYUNSEOK: Behave. And
I'll take care of you.

I'll make up for you rotting
in prison for five years.

Aren't you doing this
for money anyway?

Wait. Until I reach out.

Get it ready by tomorrow morning,
or I take this to the police.

And I'll take that hobo with me.

[exhales sharply]

KITAE: You set this whole
thing up, didn't you?

You used me as bait and
don't care if I die or not!

- Idiot.
- Aah!

I'm the one who almost
got k*lled, okay?

- And I'm the one who protected you.
- Scumbag.

TAEKROK: You little...

KITAE: Gosh, you are completely heartless.
You know? You have no conscience.

TAEKROK: The important
part starts now.

What now? What is it this time?

You are the only one who
can apply for a retrial.

Once I get reinstated,

I'll reinvestigate this case and
reveal the truth by any means.

And when will that be?

I just have a few
things to settle first.

Prove your innocence,
get compensated,

and go see your
mother with pride.

Look, kid. I know that you
haven't gone to see her,

because you're too ashamed to
face her, not because of money.

Apologize to me.

Once I settle everything.

Trust me.

Whatever.

You little...

Don't use violence, okay?

- [ship wailing]
- [sighs]

GEUMO POLICE STATION

[coughs]

You've just been
appointed, and...

things have been hectic, right?

I should get used to it.

Have you ever been to
Geumo before you relocated?

Only briefly, when I was little.
This is my first time since then.

So you never met Mr. Woo
before your appointment?

No. I met him for the first time
when the chief introduced us.

Why do you ask?

On the day of
Mr. Woo's accident,

I saw the look on your face.

It looked like
you knew him well.

Did I?

Mm.

[ominous music]

FRIEND: You're the one who
let him be this whole time.

HYUNSEOK: If you knew, you
should've stopped me sooner!

FRIEND: I k*lled him, but you're
the one who got him k*lled.

Now, we're going to do
a joint investigation.

Your wrongdoings that you're
unaware of are going to be exposed.

[sighs]

TAEKROK: These past few
days have felt like years.

[water churns]

Darn it.

sh**t.

[sighs]

What were you doing
there last night?

Does it matter?

You should thank
me for helping you.

And you should go see a doctor first.
Untreated injuries become a problem later.

A hot bath is my cure.

You get treated, or you'll
regret it when you get old.

Every old person I've
seen has regrets.

Not me!

Jeez. You look like the guy
with the most regrets ever.

Wow.

That's how I looked at your age.

Gosh, the thought of turning
out to be like you, detective,

horrifies me.

Hey.

- Why are you calling me "detective"?
- Would you prefer "suspect"?

TAEKROK: What
happened to the cases?

They've been transferred
by the head office.

Both Woo Hyunseok's
and Yang Kitae's cases?

Yes, they took them all.

TAEKROK: Chief Seo has something
to do with this after all.

Did you know?

I couldn't stop them from taking
it, but I can't let it go yet.

I know you can't either,
for whatever reason.

- Are you feeling me out?
- I know you also think

the chief is hiding something.

[groaning]

I need to borrow your people.

Again? Why?

What letter is always
trying to find reasons? "Y."

Don't ever come back up.

How big is it?

It's about 1.5 cm
in length and width.

SUNGA [sighs]: I don't see it.

[grunts]

TAEKROK: If it's not here...

Hey, stop.

What is it?

Come here.

[tense music]

TAEKROK: He's about the
same height and size.

Let me see you jump again.

- What?
- You just jumped over the rocks here.

Do it again.

I mean, why...

How was it again...

[foreboding music]

Like this?

KYUNGCHAN: I came down from
Seoul to learn from you.

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

Take care, sir.

Run into the woods.

- KYUNGCHAN: Why?
- Run!

[suspenseful music]

Stop!

[Kyungchan panting]

Are you okay?

- Do you have anything to say to me?
- Not really.

- Is this your first time running here?
- You just told me to run!

Why did you come to our station?

- Don't give me the "I admire you" crap.
- I don't admire you anymore.

What's your deal with the chief?

He and my mom went
to the same school.

So I pulled some strings! At
first, I wanted to learn from you.

But not anymore?

You're a m*rder suspect who
fabricated a case and evidence.

Is that how you always work?

- Hey!
- And if you want to give us a job,

the least you can do is
explain the situation.

Then transfer to
another team. Why stay?

I told you. I only look forward.

I'm doing things my way now.

That's none of my concern.

When the victim's body
was being excavated,

where were you?

[sighs]

I was with Sunga!

- Is that true?
- It's true. We were at the station.

What?

Taekrok, you're being
neurotic right now. Okay?

You're poking around old cases when
you should be vindicating yourself.

What on earth is going on?

Please tell me.

- Later.
- [sighs]

You may not trust him, but
you can't trust me either?

It's not about whether
I trust you or not.

Jeez, that old fogey...

That little...

- [sighs]
- Leave him be.

He only looks forward.

Not from what I've seen lately.
He's been acting strange.

Not as much as you,
though. [sighs]

Because I'm an old fogey.

Take him and go.

[sighs]

[Taekrok chuckles]

That kid can't be the friend.

[scoffs]

[ominous music]

[grunts]

TAEKROK: The wound.

- What were you doing there last night?
- Does it matter?

You should thank
me for helping you.

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

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

[sighs]

Everyone seems like the friend.

[scoffs]

[snickers]

[cell phone buzzing]

Hey, Lieutenant
Kim. How are you?

Hey, you know Kook
Jinhan, don't you?

The one who worked at your
inspection division until recently.

Aah. So he transferred
to your station?

Listen. What kind
of person is he?

Why? Is he being a
dickhead over there?

Figures. A leopard
can't change his spots.

He once beat up his superior,
and he's a serious workaholic.

Once he's hooked on something,
he doesn't stop until it's over.

Come to think of it, he's
a lot like you, Taekrok.

He wasn't like that when he started out.
He changed completely after that incident.

That incident?

Let's see. Was that
five years ago?

You know, the one about a broker
that got our commissioner fired.

- You know the incident with Chairman Jang.
- That was him?

That was him.

Hey, Kook. Why don't
you just quit too?

Who would take responsibility for
someone who'd stab them in the back?

A member of an organization
is the organization itself.

- But what about you? You're just you.
- [thumps]

Are you going to hit me too?

- You look like you want a piece of me too.
- Come on.

- Hey now.
- Come on, he's not worth it.

Did you just sneer
at me, b*stard?

Calm down.

Hey, you'll never
make your way up!

OFFICER 2: Since then,
he's been an outsider.

You know what our
commissioner was like.

He made it from constable to commissioner
beating all those from the academy.

And it's not like he gets along with
those from the police university.

He's an outsider there too.

You're an outsider yourself,
so you'd understand.

I'm not an outsider.

You've shut out the entire
police for the last 30 years.

I know you still like me.

[clicks tongue]

Well, you did get
stabbed instead of me.

But to be completely
honest, I...

I love you, man.

Now that I think about it,

Kook Jinhan would be just like you
around the time of his retirement.

You two are so much alike.

You both shut out the world

and live like an evergreen
in the wilderness.

- Hanging up now.
- Still,

he applied to transfer there. I'm
surprised he's not settling in.

He applied?

[cell phone buzzing]

Darn it.

- What is it?
- TAEKROK: Trace a number for me.

- What, now?
- [line beeps]

Darn it.

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

OFFICER 2: He wasn't transferred.
I'm pretty sure he applied.

And if I'm right, Kook doesn't know
anyone there. He had no reason to go.

[cell phone buzzes]

DONGBUM: Here's the recent call history
of the number you gave me, Taekrok.

NAME KOOK JINHAN

BAE YOUNGDOO, HAN KIYONG,
KIM KYUNGSOOK, BAE YOUNGDOO

HAN KIYONG, KWAK SANGKYU

TAEKROK: My number...

isn't here.

FISHING POLES FOR RENT

Hi, Detective Han.

Yeah, thanks to you, I was
able to rent everything.

Yeah, everything
including the boat.

- Detective Kim?
- Where are you going?

- Don't tell me...
- I followed you.

- Shouldn't it be the other way around?
- I asked where you're going.

Fishing.

- Let's talk.
- All right, sure.

[birds chirping]

Do you fish?

You must have a lot
of time on your hands.

The chief made me
take a day off.

Anyway, why did you follow me?

Did I do something wrong?

Do you feel guilty
about something?

Doesn't everyone have a thing or
two that they feel guilty about?

Why did you come to my studio?

[ominous music]

- Why did you come?
- I had something to check.

You didn't answer your phone.

- The hiker.
- The hiker?

That day, a hiker put you in
the cab and sent you home,

but I can't find him.

I was wondering if you knew him.

TAEKROK: That must
be the friend.

Do you have a photo?

TAEKROK: It's the same guy.

You really don't know him?

[suspenseful music]

How tall are you?

I'm 178 cm.

TAEKROK: He's also
the same height.

Don't tell me...

You're suspicious of me?

Huh?

Oh. All right.

That's why you followed me.

If you're really suspicious of me,
that means you're not the culprit.

Who's this guy then?

Why did you come here?

What do you mean?

Why would an elite like you
come to this backcountry?

There's nothing juicy here.

- Why the sudden interest?
- You weren't assigned here. You applied.

Well, if you know that,
you must also know that

I got the commissioner fired
when I was a reckless simpleton,

and that they see
me as a traitor.

When I was working at the head
office, I was pressured to resign.

The team leader, in particular.
That jerk wouldn't get off my back.

So I exposed all the bribes
he took and came down here.

I'm asking, why here?

Actually, I...

went to Geumo Elementary
School, just like you.

I lived here for two
years when I was little,

because of a family situation.

My wife and I aren't doing so well
now, so I moved here to take a break.

But thanks to you,
I can't catch one.

[groans] Jeez.

- Did it hurt?
- Of course it did.

Why?

Do you think this is the
only place that hurts?

JINHAN: Look at this, okay?

I almost died
trying to help you.

You saw it all at the bathhouse.

And you're suspecting
me after all that?

You know what? To be honest,
while I was fighting those guys...

Yeah, what?

I thought you couldn't
be the culprit.

We almost died together, and
you're still suspecting me?

TAEKROK: There's still
doubt, but he's got a point.

Get off the boat now.

[suspenseful music]

Are you upset?

Come on, be honest with me.

Let me see your phone.

No.

Mm...

I got your call history.

From the day of the incident until
recently, the same number pops up.

And it's a burner phone. Right?

I had it traced and the
location was Jamsil Tower.

[cell phone buzzing]

"Friend"?

[clears throat]

FRIEND

What is it?

FRIEND: I guess you're having
a tough time. You sound surly.

You're not glad to
hear from me, friend?

Hey. I told you not to
call me your friend.

Have you caught the
real culprit yet?

TAEKROK: Does he not know that
An Juyong is the real culprit?

Or is he pretending
like he doesn't know?

I'm still looking.

FRIEND: You'd better hurry.
You have until tonight.

[line beeps]

TAEKROK: He doesn't know
who the real culprit is.

But he will soon unless
he was sounding me out.

I have to find him before that.

Who was that?

Your accomplice?

The truth is,

I'm...

being threatened.

He's the one who k*lled Woo Hyunseok
and the number you tracked down.

The hiker?

So someone actually framed you?

Who on earth would
do that? For what?

Help me catch him.

Only I can catch him.

If this gets out,
he will disappear.

He has proof that
I k*lled Hyunseok.

What proof?

He says there's a witness.
You get what I'm saying?

No. I have no idea what you're saying.
It just doesn't make any sense.

And yet it's true.

MOKRO TAVERN

TAEKROK: Is the owner not here?

WOMAN: Her daughter had a
baby, and she's visiting her.

She won't be back
for a few days.

So he's your friend. Right?

But you don't know who he is.

You're just like Hong Gildong who
can't call his father "Father".

Detective Kim.

Look at me.

You're not making this up?

It's only a matter of time till he
finds out who the real culprit is.

I need to catch him before that.

He'll call me again
at least once.

Let's track down
his location then.

You get the equipment.

I'll have to give your number to the
telephone company I have connections with.

- This might put you in danger too.
- Protect me then.

Promise me.

Protect yourself.

Listen.

Why do you think that
friend of yours chose you?

Do you have anyone in
mind who can be him?

I don't know why.

I've narrowed it
down to two people.

At this point, if it's
neither of them...

- Then what?
- Then it's someone completely unexpected.

And I'll lose to him.

If then, would you get
arrested for murdering Mr. Woo?

Probably.

Darn it.

Even if you knew who he was,

it's only your words, which
doesn't hold up to anything.

Who are the two people?

Anyway, it's almost over.

I just need to play
one more game with him.

I'm sure I'll catch him then.

Game?

Okay.

Let's catch him together.
I'll believe you this time.

Why did you guys fight here?

You said you got caught up in
old memories. What old memories?

Go home.

Come on, let's have
one more drink.

I have to go write in my diary.

Diary?

[scoffs]

NOEUL GOSIWON

TAEKROK: What does the friend want from
Choi Kyoil's and Yang Kitae's cases?

Is An Juyong not his target?

Just like with Choi
Kyoil last time.

Why hasn't he called yet?

[grunts]

[sighs]

TAEKROK: The friend

knows me well.

He knows me very well.

How?

[suspenseful music]

TAEKROK: I took this
picture one month ago.

I haven't touched these
diaries since then.

Someone else touched them.

Some detective came
to search your room.

This is him.

What's going on?

KWAK SANGKYU HOMICIDE
TEAM 2 / SERGEANT

[cell phone buzzes]

Hello?

Hey, Kwak. You searched
my room, right?

I didn't search it.
It's just a formality.

I didn't touch anything.

Are you sure?

Ask the manager
there. He was with me.

In that case...

Let me see the security
camera footage.

I can't say no, can I?

Hurry.

What exactly are
you looking for?

Someone broke into my room.

What?

What's missing?

Nothing.

- But I know it was.
- [sighs]

What's the storage capacity?

Three months.

[Taekrok sighs]

Pause.

This is just about
three months ago.

Play.

TAEKROK: Stop.

What's his room number?

He's not from here.

Keep playing.

TAEKROK: It's him.

And he was here recently.

That's strange.
How did he get in?

What's this?

Well, I'm moving back home.

- Because of me?
- No.

I failed the exam again.

You're giving up?

I've run out of money for lessons,
and I feel bad for my mom.

I can't keep doing this anymore.

- Text me your bank account number.
- What?

Make sure to pay me
back after you pass.

[door slams]

What's got into him? That
is so out of character.

[whimpers]

Bank account number...
What was it...

GONG: I checked the
camera at the entrance,

but there's no footage
of him coming in.

TAEKROK: He's been going in and out
of this place through the rooftop.

HOW TO PREVENT DEMENTIA

FRIEND: I know you well.

TAEKROK: No.

He doesn't know me.

I don't know him either.

TAEKROK: "Everyone is bound to
sh**t themselves in the foot."

FRIEND: Everyone is bound to
sh**t themselves in the foot.

TAEKROK: "And I guess
I'm no exception..."

He...

read my journals.

The friend must have gone through
all the material thoroughly.

It must've taken a long time.

You're thoroughly prepared.

FRIEND: Of course. I
know whom I'm up against.

TAEKROK: In this room,

there must be his traces.

FRIEND: Do you remember
the fratricide case?

TAEKROK: "I'm sure it's him,
but there's no evidence."

FRIEND: Who planted
fake evidence then?

TAEKROK: "Crucial evidence."

FRIEND: From now on, I'll show you
exactly how many sins you have committed.

He should be as frustrated as
you are right now. Yang Kitae.

TAEKROK: "Yang Kitae has
been a weight on my mind.

He's just a petty
criminal, so why?

Most importantly,
he has no motive.

I wonder if Woo Hyunseok
is hiding something."

FRIEND: You knew
he was corrupted.

You knew, but you kept telling
yourself to put it off.

TAEKROK: "I know I need
to look into it again,

but I don't have the time
or the will to do it."

FRIEND: You're the one who
let him be this whole time.

TAEKROK: "I fear the
mistakes I have made..."

FRIEND: The wrongdoings that

- you're unaware of...
- "...without my knowledge."

are going to be exposed.

FRIEND: In your past, you can find
me and the reason I'm doing this.

While doing what
you can to find me.

This game will not end
until one of us dies.

TAEKROK: He's in here.

[suspenseful music]

TAEKROK: I got you, buddy.

Are you sure?

Get every speck of dust and
fingerprint analyzed thoroughly.

- And I'll make sure no one knows.
- That's the most important.

Be careful until
we get the results.

It's also important
to do it fast.

[sighs]

[cell phone buzzes]

DON'T WORRY, NO
POISON m*rder*r

[cell phone buzzes]

m*rder*r SLAM!

[ominous music]

No! Stop!

No!
