(Episode 14)
It's been a long journey.
I went on the pilgrimage because I wanted to.
Let me get that for you.
- I'll tell them to draw you a bath. - Later.
Now that I finished my pilgrimage safely,
Mass ought to be held.
Seeing how you lost some weight,
something must have been troubling you.
It's nothing.
I'm sorry. I was stuck in a traffic jam.
(Jangsan Penitentiary)
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
most holy, pure and full of merciful love.
Please show us your mercy and kindness.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
most holy, pure and full of merciful love.
Please show us your mercy and kindness.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Protect us from the evil...
and snares of the devil.
Walk to the entrance.
Mr. Kim. You need to wake up.
Please, Mr. Kim!
You're awake.
How long was I out for?
A whole day.
Do you remember what happened?
I have a few after-images,
but I don't remember what happened.
You really don't remember?
Then you won't know how heroic we were.
Do you know what a dreadful driver Gyeong Gu was?
You were like the people in the video.
Do you really not remember what they did to you?
If that's too hard, go back to what you last remember.
The last memory?
You start from there.
My last memory is...
You're a friend of Victor's?
When did you last see him?
Not since I completed the delivery.
There's a lot you don't know.
Have another drink and give me the empty glass.
Okay.
You must know this.
If you want this, buy me a beer.
What did you give me?
It's warming you up, isn't it?
What did you...
give me?
It's fine.
I found this.
That's...
Isn't that the pen recorder?
- The recorder from the reporter. - Yes.
It's the pen recorder Reporter Kim gave to Detective Choi.
No way. How did you find that?
Come on. Tell us.
How did you manage to find that when you were drugged?
(Taxi Driver 2)
What? How did you find that?
You were right.
Wait.
Is it recording?
- What's this? - A pen recorder.
I need at least a recording if I'm to negotiate a deadline.
How do I work this?
- Press it here? - You don't get it?
All right. If it's too complicated, keep it pressed like this.
Just keep it with you.
Once it's turned on, it can record for hundreds of hours.
Gosh. This looks like a real pen.
(Black Sun)
I'm from the police.
- Gosh. You drank a lot. - Right.
- Hold on. - What?
Come here.
- Gosh. - Hey, sweetie.
Goodness.
- Didn't I sound just like them? - Yes.
- I sounded just like them. - Hey, get his car now.
Yes, sir.
Come on.
Come on. Increase my fee. You guys always pay me the same.
Tomorrow is an important day. Don't drink more. Go to sleep.
I got it. Salute.
- Drive him home. - Yes, sir.
- We should go. - Seriously. Money, these days.
(Club Black Sun)
(The day of Detective Choi Seong Eun's death)
(Jeongsam Police Station, 2pm)
Detective Choi, I switched you with Senior Officer Jo.
You're done for the day. Go home.
No. I'm good.
Just thank him and go home. He wants to do you a solid.
Right. You should go home early...
and win some brownie points with your wife.
- Let's go and finish this fast. - Yes, sir.
- Stay here. - Bye.
Bye.
(Collection and incineration of psychotropic drugs)
I staked out the place for a few days after I got the tip.
- I sense something. - Use your common sense.
Why would a club that makes...
millions a month need to sell drugs?
That's why I'm here, to ask you to find out.
(Storage for confiscated items, Seoul Customs, 3pm)
(Police)
Sir.
(Back gate of Club Black Sun, 10pm)
- Gosh. - Here.
(To be incinerated)
- All right. Let's go in. - Okay.
- Gosh, good work. - Hey.
Come here.
(Black Sun)
- Hello? - Yong Min.
You were right.
I just don't know what to do.
What is it? What's up?
Where are you? I'll come over.
No, don't.
I'll come to you.
You're the only one I can trust right now.
Let me check one more thing.
Gosh.
What is this?
- Detective Choi. - Don't move!
Seong Eun.
How could you guys do this?
Hey, calm down. Let's talk.
Put that gun down. Darn it.
How could police officers do this? We of all people...
can't be doing this!
Gosh.
- Hey. - Seong Eun.
You probably don't know this yet since you just got married.
You're going to need a lot of money now that you're married.
Shut your mouth.
Hey, look the other way...
and think of it as having a high-paying job.
You can't ask for a better job than this.
- Gosh. How will you fix this? - Okay.
Okay. I'll handle it accordingly.
Get off him.
Hey, Seong Eun. This is too bad.
Don't say my name. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
You see, I don't want anything to happen to you, Seong Eun.
But the higher-ups don't seem to agree.
Don't say my name, you jerk!
- Hey. - Seong Eun! Hey!
Hey. You should have known better...
than to act like a hero. This is all pointless.
You must think...
getting rid of me will end this.
- Hey, clean up the mess. - Yes, sir.
Gosh. That jerk. Why did you throw things here?
Even if I'm gone, he will never give up.
He will make sure you guys pay for what you did.
Who?
There's a guy. A guy who hates exercising.
- Grab him. - Yes, sir.
Get up, you jerk.
Don't move.
Rinse your mouth.
(Black Sun)
(Police)
No. Seong Eun.
Seong Eun.
Seong Eun, what are you doing here?
Seong Eun!
Please leave.
Even after murdering Seong Eun like that,
I bet these guys are still having an easy life, right?
Without feeling an ounce of guilt...
or feeling sorry for what they did.
Do you like to exercise?
There's a guy. A guy who hates exercising.
The last thing Detective Choi said...
might have been a message, intended for you.
I'm sure there must be another meaning behind this message.
Something only you can figure out.
Think carefully.
I finally feel my fatigue going away now that I'm home.
Thank you for working so hard while I was gone.
So a nasty man has been causing a lot of trouble for our people.
It's been taken care of now.
Congratulations on getting nominated to be the police commissioner.
You will have a lot on your plate pretty soon, Commissioner Park.
Congratulations.
Are there any changes in our schedule?
No, sir. No changes.
Tell Madam Yang that I will personally visit her...
once I had some time to rest.
As you know, I formed...
such precious bonds during my pilgrimage.
My new acquaintances are to come on the scheduled dates.
Please prepare thoroughly.
I will.
And if there's anything Manager On needs,
please make that happen for him.
Yes, Your Excellency.
He's made it clear that Manager On is next in line...
with me in the room.
There's a guy. A guy who hates exercising.
It might have been a message, intended for you.
I'm sure there must be another meaning behind this message.
Something only you can figure out.
What?
Why would I join that gym? Go work out alone.
Take a look.
The opening promotion says one of us can get it for free.
This is a great time to sign up. Why not?
Besides, you need to work out now.
- You're too skinny for a guy. - Come on.
It's on me.
Forget it. The thing I hate the most in the world is exercising.
Hey. Besides, I should be sleeping when I have time for this.
I'm so sleep-deprived.
- Gosh. I'm leaving. - Hey.
I got you a locker under your name. You must work out at the gym. Okay?
Not okay. Why are you nagging me?
Bye.
- Come to the gym. - Never.
Come to the gym.
I got you a locker under your name. You must work out at the gym. Okay?
This way.
(Angel Fitness)
This is the locker.
Actually, the contract for the locker was ending soon.
So I was going to call you.
(Kim Yong Min)
To Yong Min who hates exercising.
Gosh, if you're reading this, you must be here to work out.
- You're too skinny for a guy. - Come on.
Why are you nagging me?
- Bye. - Come to the gym.
Look at you, finally coming around.
We should have caught these bad guys together.
(Black Sun)
I'll leave you a present just in case.
But I'm sure you can get them even if I'm not with you.
(Jeongsam Police Station, Sergeant Jang Jin Ho)
You hate exercising.
But you love the truth rather too excessively.
Yong Min, even if I'm not there with you,
make sure these criminals who wrong other people...
are punished properly.
Make sure...
to bring them to justice.
He made copies of all the files...
and put them in my locker.
Did Seong Eun...
know that he might not come out of this alive?
Detective Choi probably didn't want to give up...
just like you.
(Deluxe)
I promised...
Seong Eun...
that...
I would bring those criminals to justice.
(Files on Black Sun)
(Disposal Log of Confiscated Drugs)
Detective Choi,
I switched you with Senior Officer Jo.
- Stay here. - Bye.
(Storage for confiscated items, Seoul Customs, 4pm)
- Hello. - Hello.
I'll take over the confiscated drugs to dispose them.
(Disposal Log of Confiscated Drugs)
Come on in.
(Storage for confiscated items)
I'll start filming now.
I'm taking over 21.542kg of drugs.
I'm writing it down for 21.542kg.
(Disposal Log of Confiscated Drugs)
(To be incinerated)
I just confirmed it's 21.542kg.
(Special Seal, Signature: Jang Jin Ho)
(Special Seal)
Please do a good job.
(Incineration plant for confiscated items at Seoul Customs, 6pm)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Shall we? - Sure. It's this way.
We will now weigh the evidence.
(To be incinerated)
Hold on.
(Storage of Confiscated Drugs)
- It's off by a gram. - That's odd.
Hold on. Could it be this?
A corner of it must've fallen off when it was taken out.
That's 21.542kg. Confirmed.
(To be incinerated)
We will now proceed with the incineration.
(To be incinerated)
Go in there yourself, why don't you?
Okay. Good job, everyone.
- Good job. - Good job.
- Are we good here? - Sure.
Shall we?
(8pm, Back entrance of the incineration plant)
All right.
Nice.
Whoever invented flame retardants should win a Nobel Prize.
It made our lives easier.
(To be incinerated)
Let's go in.
(10pm, Back entrance at Black Sun)
Nice.
(Storage and Transfer of Confiscated Drugs)
They've been reselling the drugs that should've been incinerated...
at Black Sun.
The drug that they circulate at the club...
was gamma-hydroxybutyric acid which is GHB in short.
When consumed with alcohol,
one behaves in the same way as a dementia patient would.
A dementia patient?
They might seem lucid to others,
but they have no control over their actions,
nor do they remember them.
They become wired to only perform simple commands.
Walk to the end of the hallway.
Get out and cross the road...
with a smile.
Overseas, the use of GHB is already a serious social issue.
It turns people into zombies who are then victimized...
which is why it's commonly known as a rape drug.
Most drugs are consumed for personal entertainment.
It's why quality matters despite it being illegal.
But it's the other way around for this certain drug...
because it's used to violate others, not pleasure oneself.
That's right.
That's why no one cares about the side effects...
or the negative impact it can have on one's body.
It makes the drug even more dangerous.
Unbelievable.
It launders money for those who wish to evade tax.
It's an amusement park for druggies who wish to be wild.
And for the authorities who cover up...
the crimes and parties that occur at this club,
this place serves as an ATM.
In the heart of a city bustling with people,
a blind spot in the law exists.
This is beyond a simple recreational playground.

(My friend had it worse, but the cops brought her home.)

(What Goes on at the VIP Room of Gangnam's Finest Club?)
(After Leaving the Club, Police Officer Commits Suicide)

(Journalist Kim Yong Min, Detective Choi Seong Eun)
Like Mr. Jang said, if this is an operation...
perfectly designed to operate outside of the law,
taking the players down individually won't work.
In one swift move,
we must bring it all down.
(Black Sun)
You have no idea how startled I was.
Who knew that the police would get my drugs back?
It was shocking to say the least.
How can I repay you for this?
I have heard a lot about you.
Manager On,
why did it take you this long...
to introduce me to this beautiful woman...
when she frequents my club?
Goodness. Are you the one who runs the club?
I thought Manager On was in charge.
The bishop must trust you as much as he trusts Manager On.
Mr. Hyun Jo can be quite savvy.
Manager On, you've done a good job so far.
Let me know if you need anything or if you have a favor to ask.
There's no need to tread lightly.
Are you sure about that?
I had to be careful as a mere senior superintendent,
but there will be no need for that once I rise to the top.
Cheers.
I finally know why the bishop has so much faith...
in Manager On.
You provide the world's safest delivery route.
I'm in love with this.
The first batch has been delivered,
and the second batch will be delivered on schedule.
Okay. Once the second batch arrives,
our money will be laundered through your club.
That'll be 5,000 for the Hong Kong operation...
and 2,000 for the bishop.
- I'll report the numbers. - Okay.
Sir, I have an urgent message.
It's okay. Speak.
We had an issue while taking care of one of our newbie guards.
A newbie guard?
Must I get involved with such a thing?
That reminds me. I asked for Number Nine ages ago,
but he still isn't here.
The food is ready to be served. Should I bring it in?
Bring in Number Nine along with the food.
The issue involves Number Nine which is why he isn't here.
Why's that? Did he quit?
Is that the best you can do?
Who is this Number Nine anyway?
Some of the guards went off the grid,
so we hired one from the employment agency.
But ever since then,
questionable things have been happening.
He's also Victor's friend.
Victor's friend?
After he started working here,
we've been having a number of botched deliveries.
We had to shut the club down once which kept me from working.
What on earth are you talking about?
Can I see a photo of this newbie guard?
- Of course. - Let me see it too.
Here you go.
Yes, that's him. Number Nine.
(Family Relations)
This man...
was here at Black Sun?
What the...
Yes, sir.
I thought he was dead.
(Family Relations)
Kim Do Gi...
was here?
(Rainbow Transport)
- Get searching. - Search the place!
Go!
(Closed for the day)
There are signs saying they're closed for the day,
and no one is around.
Your Excellency, I must tell you...
May you be united with the Lord as one.
Thank God.
It's not like you to act hastily.
It might be wiser to push back the date.
Something has come to my attention,
and we should reschedule once the matter is resolved.
Ha Jun,
you must be afraid of the evil one.
The operation will commence as scheduled.
You will greet our guests who are set to arrive on that day.
Should we face an issue,
it will only prove that...
you are not to be trusted with such responsibilities.
I shouldn't have said anything, sir.
Everything will go as planned.
Amen.
(Kim)
Yes?
Do you have things planned out?
Kim, it took you longer than usual.
(Rainbow)
We should go.
- How much is it? - That'll be 20 dollars.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Gyeong Gu. - Gosh.
- Please come again. - Sure.
I see you all got here before me.
Of course.
(Black Sun)
(D-1)
Here you go.
What's with all these escorts today?
Beats me.
That's odd.
Manager On, I think you're overreacting.
This is excessive, if you ask me.
I'd take that over being dense any day.
Overreacting is the way to go right now.
(Under Construction)
Darn. What's going on?
The road ahead is under construction.
Should we detour?
The road ahead is under construction.
Should we detour?
No.
Clear a path, so they can stick to the route.
Stick to the route. I'll clear a path for you.
(Under Construction)
Nothing unusual happened.
We were able to collect the package.
We're on the move.
(To be incinerated)
What did I tell you? It all went smoothly.
This doesn't seem right.
Even I wouldn't dare to fight all the precautions we took.
It just means...
that you're a formidable opponent.
You can be at ease now.
I'll head in first, then.
Would it kill him to accept the compliment?
(Black Sun, D-Day)
As you can see,
the club has been closed off to regular guests today.
Go on in.
- Are you good? - Thank you very much.
Won't the bishop be joining us?
I was told to say that the place wasn't suitable for a bishop.
Gosh. It's funny how he cares about that...
when he invited so many guests that he met on his pilgrimage.
Hey. Cheers.
Hey, there.
Okay, one.
Two, three.
Yes.
The money in one of these suitcases...
would be enough to change my life.
Having less work will change your life as well.
Don't you agree?
Shut it and get back to work.
Next.
Yes, Boss. Seems like.
Something very suspicious is going on.
I apologize.
I'm okay.
(The Inauguration of the 38th Police Commissioner Park Hyun Jo)
(Seoul Metropolitan Police)
Right. Are you all done?
(The Inauguration of the 38th Police Commissioner Park Hyun Jo)
Why is that? Are you still not done?
Actually, it's...
It doesn't seem like things are sailing smoothly.
Manager On.
Manager On!
Manager On.
This isn't funny, you know.
I do not appreciate pranks like this.
Why was I given flour instead of the drugs?
We made the delivery as soon as the package arrived.
Everyone was waiting, so we picked up our pace.
Where are my drugs?
What happened?
Why are you asking us?
We're clueless.
That's not an appropriate answer...
since you should know what's going on.
We only did as ordered...
and delivered the package.
We couldn't even go to the bathroom...
since we were told not to stop the vehicle.
Do you not know how important this deal is?
Does the bishop know about this?
What the...
What...
How dare you try to stab me in the back?
Maybe it was you who lied about these being drugs.
- What's the matter? Are you okay? - My head...
Jin Ho.
Are you kidding me?
How dare you harm the police?
Jin Ho!
Why you...
Kill them all!
Get them!
Jin Ho!
Darn it!
No way.
This can't be.
Kim Do Gi.
(D-1)
The shipment we seized this time...
is on a massive scale of about 200kg,
and according to protocol, it'll be sent...
to authorities to be incinerated.
We arrested eight members of the gang,
and also are after those that got away.
We'll fight the war against drugs even harder,
to ensure our country remains drug-free.
(Seoul Metropolitan City)
(Police)
(Entrance to Parking)
Let's go.
(Detective)
Oh, what a mess.
What is it this time?
We took the log that was meant to be left inside.
- We'll put it back. - No, wait.
The rules say I must accompany you.
Of course, you must.
- Hey. - Yes?
- Oh, dear. - Watch it.
- Watch where you're going. - Let's go.
(Police)
(Detective)
- Why did you take the log? - I know, silly me.
I'm so sorry. What level are you?
- I've been here a long time. - Have you now?
- I'm done. - Are you?
You put it back.
My goodness.
Oh? You dropped your key.
Oh, darn me.
There must be a hole in my pocket.
Possibly.
I should get a new pair of pants.
After you.
(Investigation Room 1, 2)
Mission accomplished.
(Loading)
I'm connected too.
(B04, B05)
(Seized Goods)
It takes about five minutes to update the network.
You must get out before then.
You bet.
This scale won't work.
You must use the one inside.
See?
You said we should bring this.
Put it back already.
- But... - Put it back.
Be quick! Go.
What a fool.
(To be incinerated)
Let's do some swapping.
The cameras are off.
You have four minutes left.
Make sure to keep the drugs and flour separate.
(To be incinerated)
We have 198.26kg.
Don't worry. We'll get it right in one go.
Short by one gram.
Over by one gram.
Darn it.
There.
Short by one gram again.
One gram's no big difference.
No, we can't leave.
Mr. Kim said we must make it exactly 198.26kg.
One gram is enough to drug 30 people.
There's a reason they're so serious about the weight.
- We got it. - It's exactly right.
(Lock)
Let's do this.
(Police)
Darn it.
The road ahead is under construction.
Should we detour?
No.
Tell them to go straight ahead.
(Construction Notice)
He will show up. I'm sure of it.
(To be incinerated)
Manager On, it's bad.
How is it all in my office?
(To be incinerated)
I wasn't a poor judge of character.
He's a real interesting guy.
(Black Sun)
I'll see you soon.
I'll kill you myself.
- Don't move! - Get them all!
- Who are you? - Freeze!
Hey!
- Darn you! - Don't move.
Get him.
(Black Sun)
(Police)
- Shoot. - Darn you.
Is it true?
Was there sex trafficking?
Do you admit to it?
Is it true?
Aren't we letting them off too lightly?
Yes. I think they're getting off too easily.
Yes, you could think so.
But taking them to the location our client mentioned.
That's our first rule.
I agree.
Okay.
Mr. Park and Mr. Choi agree as well.
Mr. Kim wanted to make them stand trial.
The effect of a string of crimes involving a large club in Seoul,
the so-called "Black Sun Gate" is causing a huge ripple.
Narcotics, violence, kidnapping, sexual assault, tax evasion.
All these crimes and more...
happened in the open in the center of Seoul.
What's even more shocking is that...
a high-ranking police official was involved.
The government announced they view this as a serious issue,
and reminded the prosecution...
to investigate thoroughly so no victims feel wronged.
(Defendants)
Case number 2022-K-1135.
Defendants Yoo Moon Hyun,
Jang Jin Ho,
Im Jong Seon,
Yang Mi Kyung.
Defendant Yoo Moon Hyun operated the club Black Sun.
To make a profit,
he sold an illegal narcotic called GHB...
in the club.
He also manipulated and abetted...
the drug-fueled sexual crimes committed in the club.
When his illegal actions came to light,
he conspired with Jang Jin Ho and Jo Min Geon...
to kill Detective Choi Seong Eun...
based at Jeongsam Police Station.
I didn't kill him. That was all their doing!
Hey, lawyer. You...
- Yoo Moon Hyun, it was all him! - What are you doing?
- It was all him! - Defendants. Be quiet!
- Hey! - It was him!
Don't you know who I am?
Silence! Defendants!
Defendants Yoo Moon Hyun, Jang Jin Ho,
Im Jong Seon, Yang Mi Kyung.
I sentence them to life in prison.
Senior Superintendent Park Hyun Jo,
a core member of the crime gang...
is now on the wanted list.
Everyone involved who could destroy evidence...
will be tracked down and investigated.
Manager On. What do we do now?
The police are after me.
Do something!
One of us is a traitor.
That has to be it.
It doesn't matter who the traitor is.
What's important is who cleans this up and how.
Manager On.
I'm so sorry.
Before your promotion's official,
you'll have to resign in disgrace.
We recently did a report on Detective Choi Seong Eun...
who was killed while investigating Black Sun.
The suspects arrested for his murder...
appealed the charges and their retrial is set for today.
They were charged with killing Choi who realized their crimes...
and making it look like he'd taken his own life...
I don't...
approve of your methods.
Of course,
thanks to you, I revealed Seong Eun was murdered,
and the punks got to stand trial for everything they'd done,
but it wasn't lawful.
One day, when people...
learn to listen to what journalists like you say,
people like me will disappear.
Well...
I'm very twisted,
so I'm terrible at saying thank you.
So, what I want to say is,
call me if you want a beer.
(2,320 dollars)
Well, that's not much...
for a deluxe taxi ride.
You stopped talking,
so I wondered if you'd waive the fee.
But you kept the meter going.
There is never a free taxi ride.
That is true.
(Printing)
Hey, so...
It wasn't lawful,
but it was just.
Yong Min.
The Black Sun retrial starts soon.
Did you secure a spot?
The place you mentioned is an awesome spot.
The court dismissed the retrial of ex-policeman Jang...
and Black Sun operator Yoo...
including others who were charged...
of murdering a detective,
and sentenced them to life.
The judge decided their crimes and methods were of the worst kind,
and added the criminals must be separated from society forever.
Meanwhile, celebrity Victor was sentenced to ten years,
and is currently serving time in Bukbu Penitentiary.
It's most likely he'll never make a comeback.
To ensure the guilty don't get off with a slap on the wrist,
I plead that the public keep following this case.
This was Kim Yong Min reporting for Hanbaek Daily.
I'll take the taxi out of service.
Good job.
As you ordered,
I'm handling matters so it will end...
with Park Hyun Jo.
I think that's now taken care of.
How should I take care of you?
Ha Jun.
Do you know why you lost to Kim Do Gi?
The arrogance that you were sure you'd win.
That arrogance...
blinded you.
What more can I expect from a blind man?
Give me...
one more chance.
I swear...
to make sure Kim Do Gi breathes his last.

You...
Go Eun must mean a lot to you.
Do you think she's dead or alive?
I'll kill you.
I'll show you...
how it feels when what you cherish...
is broken.
I didn't forget, I remembered.
That's how I was able to appear before you.
Darn you!
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Mark my words.
There are things you must remember in order to get back.
