EPISODE 10
What the hell? Hey!
Hey! Stop right there.
Hey!
Give me back my bag!
Hey! Stop there.
-Hey! -Why can't she grab it?
Give me back my bag!
Hey, give her purse back.
Song Hye-ri.
You look sexy in plain clothes.
Who are you?
Who do you think?
You're Man-yong, aren't you?
No.
OLD MENTOR
MY LAST ROOKIE
Hey, take this.
You told my dad, right?
It hurts to get beat up, doesn't it, old man?
Let's go.
What?
Are you all right?
I was walking on the street,
and I almost got robbed.
But I think it was Man-yong.
Are you okay?
Of course I am.
Did they attack you?
No.
-I'm hanging up. -Lieutenant Lee.
Where's Lee Ju-yeong?
You're here.
Detective Cho, go back to the station.
Yes, sir.
Captain An ordered us
to watch the detective in charge
of the prostitution case, which was Lieutenant Lee Ju-yeong.
Then we found out Lieutenant Lee and the other gamblers,
who just got arrested, often gathered here.
What's the evidence to support that Lee Ju-yeong was here today?
At around eight in the evening,
seven men including Ju-yeong were seen coming in here
during a stakeout.
Who witnessed it?
Me, Captain Eun, Senior Patrol Officer Choi,
Detective Jang, and Detective Cho. All five of us saw him.
Yet, you lost Lee Ju-yeong?
There was a surgeon who lost hundreds of millions of won today.
He made a scene saying he'd report them to the police.
So, they assaulted and confined him.
I think he ran way through the window.
Stay here.
There aren't any footprints going out.
Nor are there marks of someone climbing the wall.
There's dust on the window too.
Are you saying he ran away
without touching the dust on the window?
Is he a ghost?
What are you doing?
I'm checking if Ju-yeong is in here.
If it was someone else, I'd have doubts, but someone as keen as you
and Myeong-ho
both saw Ju-yeong coming in here.
But there's no trace of him getting out.
So, unless
he got buried underground
or flew into the sky,
it's impossible that he's not here.
There's only one entrance and no trace of him getting out.
Stop making assumptions and search the building!
Over here.
Detective Lee.
-No one's in there? -No, nobody.
Mr. Oh Yang-chon.
Lieutenant Oh Yang-chon.
Yang-chon.
Yang-chon, please.
Yang-chon.
Yang-chon!
-Yang-chon! -Lieutenant Oh, stop!
Lieutenant Oh!
-Stop! -Lieutenant!
Enough!
Yang-chon...
Yang-chon.
Yang-chon! Stop! What the fuck are you doing?
Do you want to get me fired or what?
My kid is sick.
You dirty son of a bitch, let him go.
Can't you see my wings?
As I promised you,
I visit Ho-cheol's wife whenever I get the chance to.
Yang-chon...
Come to your senses, you moron.
Pull yourself together.
Do you want to ruin everything?
If you're arrested for assault,
if the whole division is punished,
what will you do then? Get your shit together!
-Lieutenant Oh! -Hey!
-Yang-chon... -Stop him!
-Lieutenant Oh! -Lieutenant Oh!
-Yang-chon. -Stop!
Get him.
Yang-chon! That's enough!
-Please calm down, sir. -Calm down, Yang-chon.
I'm off, sir.
One of the gamblers is a higher-up in a prostitution ring.
I heard they found a handwritten ledger on him.
Did anybody get injured?
Is the situation taken care of?
Yes.
What's Ju-yeong's role in this?
He's the head of the operation.
When they were planning
-the prostitution scheme-- -Go.
Captain wants you to come to the interrogation room.
Lieutenant Oh.
Sir.
Go.
-I'll drive you home-- -I told you to just go.
Go home.
Lee Ju-yeong is not your only subordinate.
I'm your subordinate too.
I'll see you on my next shift.
Wipe that blood off, you moron.
Shut up, you moron.
Do you think that you're a legendary cop?
Hey, don't be delusional, okay?
Listen up, you prick.
You're a nobody.
You're not someone whom I or our co-workers can rely on.
You weren't even a dependable husband to Jang-mi.
You're just
a big kid with a nasty temper, who does nothing
but make his co-workers and wife worry. Do you even know that?
We've been in the force for over 20 years,
and we've seen sly, corrupt cops like Ju-yeong
doing ridiculous things.
We've seen it a number of times.
Even if we risk our lives and get beaten up on duty,
the entire force has to put up with criticism
because of a few rotten apples.
That's why people call us rude names, which we've all heard many times.
Isn't it about time you tried to be mature?
You risked getting fired
and beat up your co-workers because of that prick, Ju-yeong.
What the hell are you doing?
Answer me, you idiot. What the hell are you doing?
Yes, it's all right. It's fine since no one got hurt badly.
If Ju-yeong presses charges against Yang-chon for police brutality
because he got beat up, I'll beat him up myself and get arrested.
POLICE BRUTALITY ABUSE OF AUTHORITY BY POLICE MEMBERS
Okay, Myeong-ho.
Don't worry about it and call it a day.
Okay.
Honey, what do you think about this suit?
I don't know either.
Who cares what I wear to meet the in-laws?
Don't yell at me.
I have a headache as it is.
What's so important about our daughter's marriage?
Something happened at work, but I couldn't go
because you were dragging me here and there all night!
Why does my stomach hurt so much?
You could at least close the door.
WIFEY
It's me.
What?
Thankfully,
her heart monitor was linked to the hospital's emergency bell,
so nothing bad happened.
While giving her CPR though,
the nurse broke a couple of her ribs.
Don't say anything to your dad.
I'm on my way to see him now.
I'll stay here tonight.
What's wrong with your hand?
It's nothing.
If your mom had a say in it,
she would've asked you to just let her die.
She has lived a selfless life,
so she won't have any regrets.
I only made her life miserable,
but I can't hold onto her now
just for our sake.
Don't ever
visit her at the hospital again.
One.
You're good. Kick him!
You're fast.
-Die, die! -Kill him!
Lay him out flat. Come on!
-How's that? -Die!
-Oh, no. -Nice!
-Watch it. -Knock him out.
-Just lay him out flat! -No, no!
-Please. -Finish him!
-Okay! -Take that and that!
Okay!
Good play. Good play!
Good play!
Let's go. Get him!
-Avoid the punches! -It's not moving like I want it to.
-Avoid the punches! -No. Wait.
-That's it. -Oh, no you don't.
-Get him. One, two! -One, two!
-No!
One, two. Let's go!
I won!
Good job. I'll get my car, so come out.
-What was that? -That got quite physical.
He must be a player.
So what? I liked it.
She's a player too.
Bingo.
I'm going to be late today.
Where are you going?
It's a secret.
You're a loser, right?
We should've just played together.
Why join them and see something that will piss you off, you loser?
Stop saying "we".
-We might end up-- -Dating. So what?
I don't like you that way.
What way is that?
You're nuts.
The old man hasn't been picking up for two days now.
MY LAST ROOKIE
Honey, I'm off to Jeong-do's house.
Don't forget to see a doctor today.
I can't believe you hurt yourself after drinking too much.
Old man, consider yourself dead.
I didn't realize that was still there.
Judging by that tone,
I'm guessing she was more than a friend.
You guys must have dated.
We did.
Why did you guys break up?
There was an accident.
"An accident"?
On her way to see me,
she came across a car that was on fire.
She tried to help a mother and her child,
but the car exploded.
She died on the spot.
Let's pull over for a bit.
I thought
I should tell you about Hyeon-su.
I just wasn't sure how.
I guess this is how.
You don't have to do that.
Let's watch a movie. A comedy.
Okay.
If your mom had a say in it,
she would've asked you to just let her die.
She has lived a selfless life,
so she won't have any regrets.
I only made her life miserable,
but I can't hold onto her now
just for our sake.
Why are you rooting for me and Jeong-o
instead of Myeong-ho and her?
Jeong-o dated my friend Da-yeong
and then dumped him out of nowhere.
I'm not interested.
Keep going.
Jeong-o's cold-hearted.
My friend never got over the breakup
and went abroad to study.
He wanted to study Korean literature,
but he even changed his major.
There must've been a reason.
Then she should've told him.
My friend said
she showed up one day and said, "I don't like you. Let's break up."
Then she ignored his calls and transferred schools.
My friend's still in the UK.
I couldn't tell him I work with Jeong-o.
He's doing fine now, and I don't want to ruin that.
My mentor, Myeong-ho,
needs someone sweeter and warmer.
You must make Jeong-o yours.
Do you think Jeong-o's cold-hearted?
I don't think so.
I don't care.
You should care.
I'm no stranger. I'm your mentee.
Lieutenant, what happened to you?
What's wrong?
What happened?
Hey! Men are changing in here!
Respect our privacy, will you?
Please, Hye-ri.
Stop talking and put on your uniforms.
What happened to you?
Let's see your eye.
How dare you?
I got drunk and fell.
You don't drink much.
After our day shift,
something happened to you, right?
Why else would you not take my calls--
You're making things up.
The night we got off work together,
when I called, you asked if I was okay.
What did you mean by that?
Why did you ask if I was okay?
-Did Man-yong-- -You're such a bother.
Where did you get drunk
and where did you fall that you bruised your eye?
Something happened, right?
He said no. Believe him.
Don't cause trouble.
You can't get hurt that badly while drunk.
I don't think he just fell.
Hi, I'm late. Sorry, guys.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Sam-bo. -Good morning.
Sam-bo, what happened to your face?
Tell me.
We're going on patrol.
Hey, what happened to Sam-bo?
He said he got drunk and fell.
That's just insane.
You should've stopped him from leaving.
He can't go on patrol looking like that.
We have a reputation to keep as cops.
Sam-bo never listens to us.
Mr. Intolerable.
Keep your mouth shut.
Mr. Intolerable is your nickname now.
You're just intolerable, that's why!
Are you a thug?
Even if you're angry,
you can't beat up a colleague.
Okay.
I'll try to be more tolerable now.
-You moron. -Sang-su, let's go.
Yes, sir.
Salute first.
Stand still and salute.
You're all nutjobs.
Code Zero, Code Zero.
We have a missing child.
Hyeonji-dong Flower Apartment Complex 3, block 8, unit 502.
We have a missing child. 40 minutes have lapsed.
Patrol car in the vicinity, please report.
Seul-gi, where are you?
What should I do?
Calm down, ma'am.
You could faint yourself.
Seul-gi!
Get up.
Where's my Seul-gi?
-Hey. -Ma'am.
Did you take her?
-Calm down. -You didn't want her.
You said she was a bother, so you left her with me.
Bring her back.
Calm down, ma'am. You must relax.
-You can't do this. -Bring Seul-gi back.
What now?
I got this
from the intercom's camera.
The school bus arrived at 1:15 p.m.
There was the driver and five other kids.
All of them testified they saw Seul-gi get off the bus
and ring the doorbell.
They saw the girl ring the bell and talk to her mom,
then they drove off.
The doors opened, then closed.
This means the mother let her in.
Oh, there's more.
Here.
It's the footage from the hallway.
When the girl didn't come home for five minutes
after her mom had buzzed her in, her mom came out to look for her.
She searched the block on her own
for about 40 minutes.
When she couldn't find her, she called the police.
What about the other cameras within the block?
There is a total of 12.
Two are broken and can't record.
We checked the others and didn't find the kid.
The camera filming the road leading out of the complex
is being monitored by the security room.
About an hour has lapsed since the child went missing.
Is Han Jeong-o working on the profile?
Yes.
CASE INVESTIGATION REPORT
Was your child close to any of the kids
in the neighborhood?
I don't know.
She never talked about her friends.
Talk.
The missing girl has a separate birth mother.
The girl was being raised by her adoptive parents.
The birth mother and adoptive mother were neighbors for five, six years
and were almost like sisters.
The birth mother told them she wanted to get married but couldn't with a child,
the infertile adoptive couple asked to adopt her.
They took her in three months ago
and the adoptive parents
asked the birth mother to move away after getting married.
Her new husband knows nothing of the girl.
Who's her current legal custodian?
Family Court is working on the case right now.
The birth mother still has legal custody.
What's odd is,
I tried to compile the child's profile.
The adoptive parents could only guess her height,
weight and what she was wearing.
They weren't sure.
They don't have any photos of her on their phones.
The mother has anxiety
and anger management issues.
She was undergoing treatment
which she recently stopped.
The security guard we talked to said
the mom was always sick and left the child to herself.
This is a case that clearly shows
the issues with private adoptions where an organization isn't involved.
A woman with anxiety and anger management issues was able to adopt a child.
Jeong-o, you shouldn't be biased against the adoptive parents though.
Statistically, 71 percent of child abuse cases is committed
by birth parents, not adoptive parents.
Yes, ma'am.
Have you found anything on them?
I looked through all records
but haven't found anything unusual on any of them in the last five years.
We can't look up criminal records though.
Hold on.
THE ROAD TO MAKING OUR KIDS LEADERS
INSTRUCTOR KIM YEONG-GYUN
That's the girl's dad.
Jeong-o, call Detective Jang and ask him
to pull up the adoptive parents' criminal records.
Yes, ma'am.
Hyeonji-dong Flower Apartment Complex 3, block 8, unit 502.
All rapid response units and regional teams listen up.
The girl is shorter than the average height for her age...
She would've been caught on the intercom camera had she been over 110cm tall.
She's a six-year-old girl whose height is under 110cm.
All rapid response units and regional teams,
please go over the guidelines for searching for the girl once again.
-I'll repeat. -Search thoroughly!
Check every deserted or empty house, construction site,
Internet cafe, hideout in the area,
closet, basement room, attic,
pile of laundry or fridge you see on the streets.
Also be sure to check washing machines and dryers.
Don't forget to check every well, kennel, bushes
car, space in between buildings, rooftop, and couch.
Also check every large luggage
and pile of garbage you come across. Don't leave anything out.
In most kidnapping cases,
if the suspect doesn't ask for money within three hours...
It's highly likely that the victim will be found dead.
Keep that in mind and search as thoroughly as you can.
If she was kidnapped, the suspect will ask for money.
If not, the rapid response unit will find her in some state.
Let's wait.
Do you think the child will be here?
Keep looking.
But Man-yong is getting worse.
He got other guys to beat up the cop and made us get rid of all evidence.
My mom will kill me if she finds out what I've been up to.
Hey, it's not like we beat up the cop.
We didn't happy-slap them either.
Who cares? We made money off it.
Hi, guys.
Aren't you the ones who smoked?
What are you doing here?
Hey.
Go tell Man-yong
that I'll be sure to find evidence for what he did that night.
He won't be able to get out of it.
-What are you talking about? -We weren't there that day.
-"There that day"? -We don't know anything.
Right, the two of you weren't there that day.
You're Man-yong's friends.
The guys who were with him that day were younger than him.
Then who was with him that day?
Stop talking total nonsense.
What a joke. Let's go.
Hey, answer me.
Who was with Man-yong that day?
They came from that way, right?
Yes.
Those punks beat you up that day, right?
Lieutenant Lee.
Come on.
Take this to the patrol car.
Yes, sir.
Your eye is like that because of this pepper spray, right?
You have to tell everyone at the station.
It's not a simple assault case.
I mean, just looking at this alone...
It's a personal problem. Just keep looking for the missing girl.
Seo-jin?
PARK SEO-JIN
Hello?
I heard you just ran into the bully girl.
I bragged to her about becoming friends with a female cop a while ago.
She asked me if it was you, and I said yes.
Then what did she say?
Check your phone.
I heard that Man-yong sent the clip
to all of his minions who got caught smoking with him to boast about it,
with a warning that they'll also get beaten up like that if they betray him.
He's a total nutjob.
That bully girl showed me the clip and told me not to tell anyone.
Hye-ri.
Did you check over there?
No.
Seul-gi, I really hope that I don't find you here.
SONG HYE-RI
HAN-SOL
SEND
It's been 3 hours and 15 minutes since the girl was reported missing.
Rapid response units and regional teams, wrap up.
End the search.
Rapid response units and regional teams, wrap up the search.
We're wrapping up already?
-What about the girl? -Even if the search ends,
the investigation will continue.
Let's see what happens.
Yes, Doctor Han.
I'll be fine, right?
Of course. It's not like I'm invincible.
Bloody stool scares me too.
All right, then.
I'll see you at your clinic in a couple of days. Okay.
Thanks. All right.
I'm suspicious of the adoptive parents.
They're canceling the adoption even though we haven't found the kid.
Shouldn't they wait until she's found?
The mentors have been summoned.
What's going on?
Captain An, what about an open investigation?
That's only possible
when we have definitive proof
of kidnapping within the first three hours
or a dead body.
Neither applies to this case.
We don't have grounds for one.
I'll try and keep it an active case for 24 hours though.
After that, it's up to the committee to decide
whether we move on
or make it an open case.
This is the criminal record of the parents that dates back to 20 years.
Seven years before he started an academy,
he used to teach in a middle school.
He molested one of his students,
and he got two years' probation.
Did you hear what he said?
Yes.
Officer Han, all subordinates to the cafeteria.
I'll tell Assistant Chief Ki,
so I want you focused on this case for 24 hours.
Yes, ma'am. I'll write up a request to be on the case.
Where's Hye-ri?
She'll come.
What about the mentors?
They're in a meeting, unbeknownst to Team Two, of course.
What's going on?
Is this where it happened?
You're looking for a camera, right?
There aren't any in this area.
Let's take another look around.
Let's go back to the division.
Everyone probably knows about the attack by now.
I told them,
so hate me if you want to.
I know it's embarrassing,
but you can't take care of this alone.
Let's head back.
-Damn it. -Fucking hell.
Yu Man-yong, who was arrested for buying cigarettes,
sent this to his friends to brag.
And Hye-ri's informant relayed it to her.
Judging by what they're saying,
they must be younger than Man-yong.
Who got arrested with him at the time?
They were a few who were younger than him.
Instead of his name though, they called him "sunbae,"
so it can't be them.
Chief, it can get messy if we take point on this one.
-We should request-- -Yes, that's protocol.
But if we hand this over to detectives,
it'll just get lost
under all their other pressing cases.
A kid beat up an old cop.
In the US, it's a felony worth decades of prison time.
What about Korea though?
We'll be asked to suck it up.
Let's handle this ourselves.
Okay?
It's not just anyone. Sam-bo got the shit beat out of him.
Let's take point on it.
-Chief-- -Let's handle this ourselves.
We're all on the same page here,
but do you really want us to follow protocol?
I was saying
that it's protocol to hand this
over to detectives.
This time though, we'll take care of it.
What I'm worried about
-are our mentees and rookies. -Let's leave the rookies out.
If this backfires, it'll ruin their careers and lives.
-The mentees too. -Hey.
We can't work the case without them.
Without them, it'll be the same as not taking the case at all.
You should go home.
Your wife is about to have the baby. Go home.
I'm fine.
-The rookies-- -Leave it to me.
Are you having fun?
Is it fun to embarrass me
in front of everyone?
No.
You should step outside.
Lieutenant Lee.
No, Sam-bo.
This isn't just payback.
They're questioning our authority.
We know how you feel, sir.
How could you possibly know?
How could you possibly know how I feel?
Have you ever been beaten by a bunch of kids before?
At my age,
if I may add.
Because I'm weak.
Have you ever been beaten by kids just because you're too old?
Min-seok.
Tell Hye-ri to accompany Sam-bo to the gym,
round up all the subordinates, and bring them here.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
What did I tell you to say
if our division was put under investigation
for working this case?
"I didn't want to participate,
but I couldn't disobey a direct order,
and I had no choice but to participate."
Who gave you the order?
My mentor.
Who ordered you all?
We'll say we were ordered by our mentors!
You're all dismissed.
What about their mentors?
We can take care of ourselves.
I don't want to make a fuss out of this.
It's better if Assistant Chief Ki takes the fall.
You'll all say that he ordered you.
If anyone wants to head home, do so.
Take a nap or something.
We'll regroup at 11.
Don't overdo it.
If the motorcycle isn't registered,
it could possibly be stolen.
Jong-min's team and mine
will look for any cases
of minors engaged in stolen property.
Jeong-o and I
have volunteered to work the missing child case.
While we're out on patrol, we'll keep our eyes out
for the bike and the boy with a nose piercing.
Detective Kim, it's been a while.
I'm busy, so let's cut right to the chase.
-Are there any recent cases... -Hye-ri and I will seek out her informant
or the female bully.
Sure.
I'll take my car to check out the scene.
Yes.
That's right.
Right.
Exactly.
I volunteered us for an extra shift.
An unregistered motorcycle, happy slap attack,
and pepper spray are part of their M.O.
Check the cases involving teens.
The search should include young offenders.
They were younger than Man-yong.
YOUNG OFFENDERS: TEENS OVER 10 AND UNDER 14 WHO COMMITTED A CRIME
You know the severe crime rate involving kids under 15.
Hye-ri's informant is in middle school too.
You heard my rookie, right?
I want the list to include minors from 10 to 14.
Tell her I'll be late.
HOME
Hello?
RECENT CALL LIST
MY LAST ROOKIE
OLD MENTOR
Sam-bo.
Did you take photos of your wounds?
Sam-bo.
Even guys like Yang-chon and Myeong-ho
don't stand a chance
if they get pepper-sprayed right in the face.
Don't try to comfort me.
You and I are both old. I can't comfort you.
Sam-bo.
We don't stand a chance against hot-blooded kids.
We can't take them, but when we're with our colleagues
that changes things.
Sam-bo.
We're not alone. We have colleagues.
Leave this to them.
You stay out of it.
If you disobey my order,
I'll make you quit
a month before your retirement ceremony.
The boys and I are prepared to be...
We're prepared to be penalized.
Don't let your emotions
ruin everything.
Go somewhere and get some sleep.
Do you know her?
I don't know her.
What about him?
No, I don't.
What about him?
You know him.
Do you still sell stolen goods?
No, I don't do that anymore.
Are you allowed to drive now?
Since when?
Since a week ago.
Great.
It's so cool.
Give me a ride.
Let me take a look too.
Kang Nam-il, Han Jeong-o.
You two focus on the missing kid.
Sam-bo's case is not your priority.
The missing girl comes first, okay?
Yes, don't worry.
First priority is the missing girl, second is Sam-bo.
We'll prioritize it like that on our patrol.
We're close to where Sam-bo was attacked.
How far is it from where they busted the smoking kids?
About 500m.
That bike doesn't have a plate.
Sergeant.
Isn't that the missing girl's birth mom?
I think we should follow her.
The missing girl is my priority.
I want to go.
We saw a motorcycle with no plate.
It went to Gwanmok Intersection.
A motorcycle with no plate went to Gwanmok Intersection.
Kang Nam-il and Han Jeong-o are looking for the missing kid
and can't help.
A motorcycle with no--
Choi Myeong-ho, roger that.
We're on the move.
Be careful, everyone. Make sure the kids don't get hurt.
If they get hurt, it's over for us too.
I'm heading to Gwanmok Intersection.
Detective Kim, I got your message.
Thank you.
Sam-bo's attack.
We identified an accomplice with a nose piercing.
Choi Jin, has prior records, aged 13, 7th grade.
A unique physical trait is that he's tall for his age.
He was reported for pepper-spraying
a student in his year 3 months ago.
Confirmed by Detective Kim from Jangdong's Juvenile Affairs.
Hye-ri's informant is a girl called Seo-jin.
She logged into a website for bullies
and found proof that Man-yong planned the attack.
The article written in Man-yong's nickname
was a recruitment notice for boys aged 10 to 14,
who can't be charged, offering 100,000 won a day.
We checked the nickname of the boy who responded to the notice.
It belonged to the 13-year-old boy that Yeom Sang-su just briefed us on.
Choi Jin attends Hanil Middle School.
They're definitely connected.
Are you headed to the intersection?
Get off.
Come on.
When you got home from work,
Seul-gi would be here waiting for you.
What a good girl.
What
could have happened?
Ma'am, can you take a look at this?
Oh, my.
I bought this for her.
Oh, no.
What now?
Seul-gi...
Seul-gi, where are you?
Go-eun.
That's right.
There's a kid named Go-eun, who lives with her grandmother
after her parents got divorced. They live near here.
It's the basement room on the right.
Hold on.
You should stay here.
That would be best.
Ma'am, are you home?
Go-eun.
Wait here for a second.
Are you Go-eun?
Do you know Seul-gi?
You can stay here with me.
Seul-gi said she hates her dad!
She's my friend.
Seul-gi!
Seul-gi...
Jeong-o, what is it?
LIVE
We have to wait for another victim.
All we can do is wait for kids to get hurt.
Both of us are under 14.
We're only 13.
I guess you outwitted us cops.
I'm sorry that you got stuck with an old man for a mentor.
I like Jeong-o a lot.
I can't let Myeong-ho have her.
What a psycho.
No, stop it. Get off me!
Dad...
