This is awarded to Min Hong Gi, the Senior General Superintendent.
He's made a ground-breaking achievement in the development of police work.
Furthermore, we recognize his big contribution to public safety and order in the society.
Stop the car.
Yeah, it's me. What's going on?
Today, Scale is going to be dealing with the Chinese.
Where?
This is... definitely the last time.
I feel like they suspect me.
Okay.
It'll be difficult to continue this anymore.
Okay... where is the location?
I got an intelligence that Scale will be dealing with the Chinese.
There is one entrance. Two set of stairs. Two elevators...
Hey, hurry up and get this car pull out of here!
- Not here? - No nothing.
We may have a false intelligence. Who's order was this?
It was the director's.
The director's?
Damn... Wonder what's going on?
- Call an ambulance. - Understood.
It's been taken care of.
Episode 1
So, he's been working as an undercover.
I thought he was dispatched aboard.
Be quiet, you fools. What if reporters find out about this?
You're much louder than us.
You came.
I thought we were real close. Scale, that bastard... We need to get him.
We're forming a special unit. The target is... Scale.
You should lead it.
You can lead your investigation however you want.
I mean however you want. No one will get involved.
Because, I'll be covering for you.
This is the file of the Scale's organization based on the intelligence we gathered.
It was difficult to gather those intelligence. We had to pay for it with much sacrifice.
Unlike other former organized crime groups...
the Scale is more structured in a way that it has a network of small, sporadically formed groups.
It'd be difficult to get the complete picture of them.
Try to piece them together. That's why I called you here.
Earlier today, what did you and the director talk about?
I'm really hungry.
- Is today some special day? - Why?
I'm fine with potato stew. Isn't this an overkill?
Wow, bon appétit.
I need to tell you something.
I'm going to... return.
I'm going to return to the police force.
You're going to welcome me back, right?
Are you crazy? You're about take the bar.
And now you want to return to the force?
I'm keeping my promise to be back.
Are you saying this is because of me?
Then go back. I like prosecutors more than cops.
I'm not kidding. I'm serious.
[Detective Kim Do Hoon]
Man, why now...
What now? Soo Min did what?
Where is that? Okay, I'll be there soon. So, you should keep watching it.
You brought your car, right? Let's hurry.
Well... then what about this?
Hey, did you guys see this?
Joo Young!
Detective Lee. Right here.
Are you sure about this?
- Well, I think so but... - Where is she?
Over there.
Yoon Soo Min!
- You... - Oh, Gyung Mi...
What do you think you're doing here? Come out now.
You misunderstood. Joo Young just gave me her cell...
Don't make an excuse using your friend!
Why are you always like this?
Why do you always run away from taking responsibility for your action?
You won't take the collage entrance exam. Did you want to serve booze at a place like this?
What am I going to do with you?
Can you leave? I need to get changed.
You really are...
Allegiance!
Attention.
This is Team Leader Ji. He'll leading the Special Unit.
Okay, everyone. Let's welcome him with a round of applause.
I'll skip the formalities. Why don't you sit down first.
The reason why the Special Unit formed is...
Scale... It's to catch Scale.
Scale is the head of the narcotics ring consists of organized gang members and drug dealers.
Starting from drugs, loan sharking and adult entertainment establishments...
The fund that he deals with could be over several hundred billion won ($200-300 million) annually.
To catch Scale, who gives orders hidden behind the scenes....
we must get these guys first.
Kim Choong Sup, aka 'Meth Kim'.
Park Tae Soo, aka 'Halibut'.
These are the actual leaders of the organization.
So... did you take care of the budget, Congressman?
Ah, it that right? That's great then.
If you think about it, why do we need social security?
They're poor because they're lazy and haven't put enough effort into things.
I'll come and see you to discuss about the Savings Bank thing.
Yes, yes... I'll talk to you later.
President Kim from Daesung Financing is here to see you.
Let him in.
Oh... President Kim! Long time no see.
Ah yes, how's your health been? This is my son.
Pay your respect.
My health my ass....
Have you golf lately?
Well, you're probably not in the mood to hit balls.
You've completely trashed your business, huh?
Chairman... if you could give me one more month...
'Eeny, meeny, miny, moe'. Which. One. Will. Be. Stronger!
Hey, you bastard! Why are you looking at your son?
Someone's busy wiping the congressman's butt...
to stop the budget for the social security.
Busy selling drugs to make the world powerless...
and make the people poorer for you!
Stupid fools...
If you understood, go on now. It'd be your turn next time.
The guest is leaving.
We've discovered Scale is running...
a money laundering operation through the Donghae Construction.
But the prosecutor's office is investigating Chairman Park Choong Mo...
of the Donghae Construction so we can't get through now.
Even if Birdie come out, we'll just watch him, okay?
Yes, but what's the Birdie got to do with the Donghae Construction?
You'll see.
This is Detective Lee's favorite, Junjoo rice ball!
Don't need to remember a thing like that. I like everything.
I know this made you happy. You like this one too, right?
You bastard! Why is everything spicy? I told you spicy things give me diarrhea.
Do you know how painful it is to have a diarrhea during a stake-out?
Chief, take mine instead.
Only Detective Lee cares.
If I had a son, I'd have made you my daughter-in-law.
How dare you?
Is there something for me?
Target on sight.
- I need your stuff. - Give money.
That bastard... Is he selling his daughter for his drugs?
You need to listen to this mister.
- Dad! - Let's go.
Hey, Detective Lee... Detective Lee!
Oh man... You stay in the car.
- Don't move. - What's this? Put the gun down!
Are you okay?
You asshole. You're not even a human being.
Don't cry.
It's okay. It's all over now.
Thank you.
You should quit.
- Quit what? - The police force.
You come back as you please. Now, you're telling me to quit?
Why don't Team Leader go back?
I don't want to hear you call me team leader. I just want to hear you call my name.
And it's hard to watch my woman getting into dangerous situations.
Then don't watch me. Why did you come back and eek me like this?
With that personality and ego...
do you think you'd be able to work under a prosecutor?
This bastard... he's got quite a record.
What were you doing from 3:23pm to 7:48pm on February 17th?
Excuse me?
You better come clean. We've got you on the CCTV.
That day, a girl's body was discovered. It was you, wasn't it?
This matches the laceration mark.
No, it wasn't me!
Oh, you guys are working so hard.
I'm sorry, Team Leader.
The prosecutor Ahn wants me to bring him. He wants to investigate himself.
You seem to be good deep down so I thought I'll give you a choice. Want to hear it?
We'll see each other again... very soon.
Why don't we go out. Let's go get a drink.
Why did you become a cop?
What?
I don't think I ever asked you that before.
So, I can laugh freely.
If I laugh, the world would laugh too.
Ah... Hyung Min.
You asked me call you 'Hyung Min' instead of 'Team Leader'.
Happy now?
- Should we go now? - To where?
What's this?
Okay, you girls can leave now.
Sit down!
We're the police. Please leave the room now. Hurry. Hurry up.
Hey, Ji Hyung Min. What the hell do you think you're doing, bastard?
You have to return this.
Long time no see, Prosecutor Ahn.
What do you want?
The information on Donghae Construction, Chairman Park Choong Mo and Scale.
Was that what you were after all along?
Then did you think we made such a production just to catch Birdie?
Hey, Ji Hyung Min. You must think you can play tricks with your father on your back.
But don't be mistaken.
He's the head of the Prosecutor's office.
Do you think he'll take your side now that you've returned to the police force?
Then... should we take it to the end to see what happens?
I'll give you one day.
I'm taking back Birdie.
Let's go.
What's your objective?
What are you putting together?
Aren't they cute?
I'm going to make the world where those kids can play outside this playground.
For that to happen... trash like you should be gone.
Don't be mistaken... Those kids decide...
what kind of world they want to live in.
When we look at it from here, it's so beautiful.
There were about 18,000 narcotics-related crimes last year.
Confiscated drugs were worth over 40 billion won ($40 million).
It been steady increasing 15 percent every year but...
according to the analysis, that isn't even five percent of the total narcotics market.
That means the rest of 95 percent of drugs and druggies are hiding somewhere out there.
I'm going to find them all and...
I just want to comfortably enjoy the night lights with like this.
- Over here. - Okay.
What would you like?
Good work.
Doctor, it's me.
Okay.
The money came in. What should I do?
Leave it alone.
Do you really think that'd be okay?
Scale won't be pleased.
[Halibut]
You dodged? I threw that to hit you and you dodged?
Ah, you bastard...
You know what happened to all those who try to pull funny business with my drugs.
If you also want to save others by selling your organs, that's your choice.
I'll get to the point. It'd be difficult with the current structure.
We do need feed our kids some meat.
So?
Give me four.
You're using my drugs, and yet, you want 40 percent?
Was it your father who taught you such a shitty calculation, huh?
Well... I guess you don't even have a father who could teach you such things.
I've forgotten.
I brought up a brothel trash up until now...
but you don't even know how to be grateful, you bastard.
Hey, hey, hey, you bastard.
Dad!
Oh, my son!
You promised to take me to see the Girl Nine concert.
Ah, okay. Just a second.
My son saved you. Keep that in mind.
Deposit the money right now. If not, you're dead.
Hi.
It's 5600 won.
Excuse me. You need to pay...
My son saved you. Keep that in mind. Deposit the money right now. If not, you're dead.
What?
Doctor that bastard... he still hasn't deposited the money.
What? That ass... I think you need to take care of him.
That means you need to elect a guy who'd replace the Doctor.
That means I want you to bury him for good.
Yes, I understand.
Doctor, this bastard... he isn't answering the phone, is he?
Ah, he's making us chase him.
How the hell would I find this asshole?
Tell me about it. Why did we form a networked organization?
So, that we won't be found out.
Now that we need to find someone, it's a total headache.
Doctor, this bastard... he must need some stuff by now.
Should we just wait and see?
By the way... I think Soo might know his whereabouts.
- Soo? - Yes.
Ah, that bastard... he won't be easy to handle.
If he listens to us nicely, then we can include him.
Otherwise, it might be good idea to dip him deep and show him where we stand.
- Find him and schedule a visit. - Yes.
Hyun Soo... you have a phone call.
Hyun Soo.
Hyun Soo!
Ah really! Damn!
So, you want to get Doctor?
Yeah, he's crossed the line. Doctor is finished, now.
If you know where he's gone, you should spill it now.
Otherwise you are dead, too.
Give me some time.
I need to ask around, too.
Okay...you've made the right choice.
How many minutes do you need?
I'll give you a room. Why don't you make yourself comfortable there for now.
Should I?
What are you going to do, really?
You know. If you don't kill, you die. I need to take it to the end.
You are talking about Scale. It's not some foolish high-pants.
Then, I guess we'll die.
Ah, really...
It took me eight years to get here.
I'm really tired of the life that only gives.
Okay... there is not much to life.
Hit it now.
All you girls... leave now.
What are you bastards doing?
Hey kids. Hit it!
Doctor... I did this. So, I'm counting on you.
Soo...
Those streets... Let's swallow them all.
- Let's go. - Yes.
I don't think he's here.
Have you made a decision?
If you haven't, I'll help you make a decision.
I deposited everything I collected this month into your account.
You were taken but came back without a scratch.
Plus, your account was fattened up after.
Oh man! So what? What do you want me to do?
Where is Scale?
I don't know. I really don't know.
I think Meth Kim will probably knows where he is.
How did it go?
We agreed to have him with us. Yes...
But Soo, this punk wants to talked to you directly.
Yes, I got it. Talk to you later.
It's a furniture factory.
They're going to elect the one who'd take over your position there tonight.
So now... you should to tell me how I can survive this.
Leave... right now. And don't ever come back.
If you return, you'll be dead either way.
Ah, man...
I'm sorry.
The target has arrived.
Hi, there.
He's going in.
He came out.
What the hell...
Hey what're you doing? Back up, you asshole, right now!
[Halibut's location has been exposed.]
Shit!
You bastard... Who the hell are you?
Where am I, you bastard?
Who am I?
If you want to come out here alive, you'd need to give some answers.
Scale... where is he now?
Until you remember...
I'll start from your toe and work my way up and cut off everything nice and neat.
Wait a minute...
Do you think I'm the kind who'd be loyal in this kind of situation?
I'm not like that!
Doesn't seem realistic because it's your toe?
Then, I'll start from you eyes.
Stop, you bastard! I'll tell you!
Meth Kim... Meth Kim would know where Scale is.
Go in now.
- Put your hands up! - Don't move!
- This is the Special Units. - Ah, what the hell...
What are you doing? Untie him, now!
That asshole... get that asshole. He was trying to kill me just now!
- Can't you do it more gently? - Be quiet!
I'm sorry. This was to make the acting more realistic...
You do have a lot built up, don't you?
Do we really have to do it this way?
Why can't we just take him to the special unit following the standard procedure.
What if there's an accident or something.
- Chief, who hired him? - I did.
What?
- Detective Shin. - Yes.
Do you think a veteran like Halibut would spill his beans just because the police got on his case?
Well...
If you hastily revealed you're police, you'd only end up with a headache.
And a trickster like that would try to cut a deal the moment he enters the interrogation room.
After throwing some names on the wanted list, he'd go out as an informant but would disappear...
- You got it? - Yes.
Yes, my ass...
Starting now, the place Halibut told us is going to be under surveillance 24-7.
Fighting! Okay!
I knew this would happen.
Halibut spilled his beans.
His mouth is always causing trouble.
What are you going to do now?
The Special Unit will definitely storm into the furniture factory.
Doctor... Should we cancel it?
Let's go back. Tell the kids to return to their posts.
Let's go.
It's a furniture factory.
they're going to elect the one who'd take over your position there tonight.
I've secured the frontal view.
I've secured the side view.
The guest has arrived.
Did you confirm Kim Choong Sup's face?
It's so dark so it's hard to tell them apart.
The target confirmed. The special forces should be on standby to move in.
The Special Unit will cover the back. Don't anybody move unless I tell you so.
Understood.
All units go in now!
Where is Meth Kim? Where is he?
- Chief. - Yes, Team Leader.
Do the number of people that went in and the number of ones who are there now match?
Two are missing. One must be Kim Choong Sup. So, one is missing.
Who was it? Who took him?
Who took Kim Choong Sup?
Doctor's... Son...
What?
Meth Kim called him... Doctor's Son.
Doctor's Son? Who's that?
I... really don't know. I don't know anything.
According to them, one person got them all.
How could one person take on more than ten guys at a time?
If it was a long and narrow corridor, it's possible.
But... but how could he do that alone just in 20 minutes?
I wonder why he took Kim Choong Sup?
Doctor's Son's target might be the same as ours.
Scale... Scale is his target.
He's in a war with Scale.
Can't be... You mean there's someone who's gutsy enough to take on Scale?
If there were a organization big enough to take on Scale...
the fact that it has never surfaced in our intelligence network...
It's not an organization.
It's a coup.
You are the best, Dad!
I kept your promise.
How dare you?
Now you've seen Girl Nine. How dare you?
Now you've seen Girl Nine.
You are the best, Dad!
Now you need to study hard as you promised, okay?
I'm going to be a singer.
You take after me so you can't sing at all.
But, I can dance really well.
You little punk!
If your dad tells you to study, you should listen.
It's been long time.
I'm sorry, Scale.
You stupid fool.
Did you enjoy the singing?
[Next Episode Preview]
From now on, instead of you, we're going to do deals with Pusan.
Where is the drug factory?
What we need to do now is to catch Doctor's Son.
Bring me all the intelligence about Doctor's Son.
What's the reason for doing this? Is it because of Doctor's Son?
I'm doing this so I can live.
I don't want to die in his hands.
I thought you might need this.
If you hit the Brother in Seoul, he's the only one who would on the stage.
Did you hear anything from him?
Are you doubting me now?
I'm not going to forgive anyone.
I heard you've Scale.
- Let him go. - I can't do that.
Then die.
