[bunniefuu]

[bell dings]

[loud heavy metal music
playing through headphones]

[squelching]

[bell dings]

[heavy metal plays loudly]

[Busan cop] So,
you saw him in the elevator.

And you stole the key from the office
just because you didn't like him?

Hey!

How could you trash his place
just because he ignored you? Huh?

Hey!

And how can you do this to my face just
for playing with an extinguisher? Huh?

I thought you were his friend.

- Sorry.
- My friend? What?

Take it easy.

- Aah.
- Who you talking about? Huh?

What, with this assh*le?
Are you kidding me?

I'm not friends with this pathetic loser.
There's no soul in his eyes. Eh?

What about him? You mean he reported me?

Don't be an idiot. He ran away.

Ran away? Why?

That's what I'm asking you.

There's the m*rder*r.

Then the guy who destroyed evidence.

[sighs]

[cop 1] And the runaway.

A k*ller PARADOX

[ominous music playing]

[grunts softly]

[winces]

Here's the thing.

When people get old and they get sick,

guess what's the first thing
they run out of?

You will run out of any sort of tolerance.

[sighs]

You suddenly can't seem
to tolerate certain things.

[tuts]

Things you easily could in the past.

Aah...

Certain days,

you might

think the world is swarming
with disgusting vermin.

Hmm?

And other days,

you might

think you could m*rder anyone you see...

and it'd be good.

[groans]

- [cat meows]
- [groans]

[groans heavily]

Ah sh*t. Look at this.

I can't fix this.

I just can't.

[cat meows]

[music fades]

[phone buzzes]

LEE TANG
CURRENT LOCATION: UNKNOWN

JOONGAM SERVICE AREA

[phone buzzes]

Hmm?

[Yong-jae] I thought
you would give me a call.

What's the matter?

[Yong-jae] I'm just... [sighs]

...frustrated about this whole situation.

Detective Park is saying
to continue to rest,

saying that I'm overzealous.

Right, just cut to the chase already.

I saw on TV
that Ha Sang-min m*rder*d Choi Gyeong-a.

Do I have to learn this
through the news now?

Why haven't you been telling me anything?
I mean...

What, so now it's my job to keep you up
to date with everything that's goin' on?

That's not it. But shouldn't I be
out there doing something?

You said the employee
who ran away was Lee Tang.

I think the expl*si*n was also his doing,
and Ha Sang-min's death too.

You have any evidence he did it?

We haven't found any proof.

[tuts] Ah, come on!
Then who else could it be?

Just because you believe that he did it
doesn't mean he actually did. Huh?

Stop lashing out at everyone else
just because you got hurt.

Just give it a rest.

Detective Jang.

I saw that bastard.

I'm certain.

I only got a glance at him,
so I didn't know at first.

That's why I didn't tell you.

I think it's the guy you couldn't catch.

How do you even know about him?

Have you been snooping around?

I'm sorry, sir,
but I looked through the files.

Regardless, we know that Roh Bin
and Lee Tang are working together.

We need to do something. Anything.
We could dig into Roh Bin...

Lee Tang or Roh Bin or whoever the hell,

I'll go after them,
so stop whining and stay put.

I mean, I'm not whining right now.

I will catch them.

All right.

[monitors bleeping]

If you're here to do
your duties as a son, huh,

then take those calls outside.

You said that you never
wanted to be like your father.

Now,

do you really think that
your behavior is any different than his?

[doctor] His blood pressure and breathing
are back to normal now.

We should keep an eye on him
for a couple of days.

[mother] I see. Thank you.

And this is what I told you about.

Take however much time you need to...

to discuss this between the two of you.

I hope you can consider his delicate
condition and make a careful decision.

FAMILY'S CONSENT TO WITHDRAW
LIFE-SUSTAINING TREATMENT

[doctor] When he gets put on a ventilator
to begin life-sustaining treatment,

the patient's quality of life
will decrease dramatically.

And when you are ready,

you can sign a DNR or DNI on his behalf
to refuse resuscitation or intubation.

[woman 1] Excuse me.

[man sighs]

Hey, sir?

What are you doing?

Huh? What?

Me?

You were groping my leg.

[man] What? What are you talking about?

- [woman 1] You just groped my leg.
- [passengers whispering]

[man] What are you talking about?

- I fell asleep when I got on.
- [woman 2] She said he groped her.

- [woman 3] Wow.
- [man] What are you talking about?

You're being ridiculous.

- You touched my leg under your briefcase!
- I fell asleep as soon as I got on!

Do you have proof? Huh?

Did anyone see me touch her?

Did anyone take a photo? Did you see it?

- [woman 1] Did anyone see it?
- [man] See? Nobody did.

[emotional music playing]

[man 1] Hey!

- [man 2] Oh, hello, sir! Hey.
- [man 1] Look who it is.

- [woman] Oppa.
- [music stops]

Don't you have exams tomorrow?

Oh, yeah.

I gave it some thought, and

well, my grades are...

They're beyond saving, so...

so I thought, "Why stress?"

I can retake in summer.

Yeah, I guess...

Huh. Uh...

What's your plan today, then?

Huh?

I said, what are you gonna do?

YOU MUST FACE REALITY TO KNOW WHAT TO DO

[Tang] If you must face reality
to know what to do,

then I won't do anything.

- [game] K.O.!
- [character groans]

[Tang] The best way
to dig your head out of the sand

is not by facing reality
but by doing mental gymnastics.

[keypad bleeping]

[door unlocks]

[suspenseful music playing]

[bleep]

[gasps]

[bleeping]

Hey, why do you have so much stuff
all packed in this tiny place?

Cameras, listening devices...

Hmm? How many?

How did you get in here?

How do you think?

I used the front door.

You told me the passcode.

[laughs]

- [music stops]
- [lights buzzing]

You've lost weight.

Hey.

You know how it goes.

I go on boats to avoid the crackdown.

You keep going in circles.
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah. Same thing.

Yeah.

Weight loss?

That just happens.

We shoulda been there together.

The gas expl*si*n was you?

So do you still play, uh,

heroes these days?

[grunts]

Back then...

you used to call me
the hero of this generation.

- Right?
- You're no hero!

Ow!

You know, you're the one
who taught me all this stuff.

Hey! You little brat!

I quit because I got f*cking tired

of playing along with you.

- [scoffs]
- [Bin whimpers]

[Chon sighs]

Anyway, this isn't why I'm here,

but I looked into some stuff
while I was waiting for you.

Yeah, I found some interesting stuff.

The new guy that you got working for you.

Let me meet him.

I'm looking for him,

but he's off the radar.

[Chon] Hmm.

You're not lying.

Goodness, is this my fault?

Well, he is a funny one.

I said hey. I guess maybe I scared him.
He ran off, huh?

Ran away like a little rat. Huh!

Why would he bolt like that?

No way for a man to behave.

[Chon exhales]

All right. Let's do this, then.

You're going to find him in the end, hmm?

When you do,
set up a meeting and let me know.

Somewhere we can talk. Somewhere private.

Aaah! Minerva. Minerva Coffee.

Love it there.

[Chon sighs] Oh, and, uh,
let me borrow this book.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Hey, but it's not mine.

[Chon] Hey, hey...

Stop being a weirdo about it.

Who would even lock that away?

A borrowed book in a safe?

Ah, there's this strange stain

in the middle of the book too.

- [chuckles] You're such a little klutz.
- Ow.

[Chon laughs]

- [beep]
- [game] Round one. Fight.

[dramatic music plays]

[game, echoing] K.O... K.O...

K.O...

K.O... K.O...

[echoing] You lose... You lose...

- [music stops]
- [gasping]

He's that important? The kid?

- [game] Continue?
- [sighs]

[game] Nine, eight,

seven, six,

five, four,

three, two, one.

Game over.

[ominous music plays]

[squelching]

What?

[dog barking]

[sighs]

- [Chon] Huh?
- [Yong-jae] Damn it.

[yells]

[Yong-jae] What the hell?

[groans]

f*ck. Damn it.

f*ck.

[yelping]

Who the hell are you, huh?

I'm a cop, m*therf*cker.

Why is a cop moving alone?
Something's fishy.

- [Yong-jae] You son of a bitch.
- Hey, now.

[Yong-jae] Let me go, you m*therf*cker!

[fast footsteps]

[menacing music plays]

- He says he'll only talk to you. Go on in.
- [Jang] Yes, sir.

[cop 2] Do we just let him sit there, sir?

[boss] Hey. Go ahead.

[cop 3] Ugh, what do we do with him?

[boss] What else can we do?
We have to follow procedure.

[machines beeping]

[Bin] I heard thuds outside my door,
so I went out to see who it was.

The detective was on the ground,

unconscious.

I didn't see who b*at him up.

That's the story I told
the other detectives when I came in,

but I...

- Hey.
- [Bin] Yeah?

Just cut to the chase or I'll k*ll you.

Yeah, that's why I brought you
several of these documents.

I didn't know he was back in Korea.

I thought I'd never hear
from that guy ever again.

It was Song Chon.

He's the one who did that to Detective An.

PERSONAL DETAILS
SONG CHON

[Bin] He should be somewhere in Seoul.

The gas expl*si*n in Busan was
his doing as well.

[woman] Where were you?

[brakes screech]

What the f*ck?

[man] Hey!

Hey!

Keep your f*ckin' eyes open, will you?

You should be on the sidewalk.

- What? You almost ran us over. assh*le.
- [woman] Oppa.

- [woman] Let it go.
- You must be blind.

- Driving this piece of sh*t.
- [woman] Why bother?

- That's enough.
- [man] I'm not f*cking done.

- You piece of sh*t!
- [woman] Oppa, come on.

- [man] Get back to work, fuckhead.
- [woman] You're wasting your time, okay?

- Let's go.
- [unzips bag]

[Bin] It's the file I gave you before,
with some updates.

DIRECTOR PARK HYEONG-JIN

I've also added the unaccounted-for m*rder
cases that I told you about earlier.

[menacing music continues]

Haven't we gone through this before?

You came to me a few years ago.

You gave me stacks of files saying I'm
the only one who can catch Song Chon.

That right?

Well, you're the one who lost him.

I could've caught him before if you'd
brought me everything like now.

Isn't that your forte?

Testing people without fully committing,
and jumping ship when it goes south?

Isn't that what you're doing
with Lee Tang?

Tang is different.

And he's got nothing to do with this case.

[Jang scoffs]

[chuckles]

Aah. Hah!

[sighs]

How is he different?

Listen, I'll explain everything later.

Can you please just help me out this once?

If you do, I swear I'll tell you
everything you wanna know.

You wanna make a deal with me?

That's right.
It's time that you get your revenge.

Who do you think you are, telling
a police detective to get his revenge?

Listen.

I have no intention of working
with a f*cking nerd like you. Take this.

Get lost, hmm?

And don't go getting
yourself k*lled messing around.

You have to lie low.

Got it?

[boss] What's going on?

[music fades]

[Jang sighs]

Yong-jae says he saw him
on the day of the gas expl*si*n. [sighs]

- He might actually be telling the truth.
- [sighs] Hey.

The captain lost his job
because of that punk.

- That's not my fault.
- And Yong-jae is in a coma.

I know! What do you want me to do?

- You can't get involved with that guy!
- No choice!

My hands are tied with the suspension.
Huh?

[boss sighs]

You do what you gotta do.

- And I'll do what I gotta do.
- Wait, stop. Nan-gam!

[cop] Who's that?

The detective who got suspended.
Nan-gam. That's him.

[suspenseful music plays]

You guys

are just like weeds.

Your roots are so deep,

it's impossible
to get rid of you entirely.

[sighs]

In the morning,

everyone is exhausted

and tired.

You just had to stand
in the road and chat away, huh?

And disobey traffic laws.

- [woman whimpers]
- And talk back to elders.

- Huh?
- [woman, sobbing] I'm so sorry.

- That right?
- [woman] I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, sir.

[sniffles]

I guess, if you think about it,

it's not your fault, is it?

Hmm?

When you were little,

your parents didn't scold you
for running around

and causing a commotion in public, huh?

You learned you could get your way
by being obnoxious.

But that's the fast track
to ruining your kid.

[woman sobs]

Now,

isn't it great to see
what you've been doing wrong?

Eh... I'll let you go.

But you need to promise me

that from now on, you're gonna
live the life of a model citizen.

[woman sobs]

- [woman] Thank you. Thank you.
- All right.

- [woman sobs] Thank you so much.
- [grunts]

[Chon] Do you have a pen?

- Pen. Pen.
- I don't, I'm sorry.

- Ballpoint.
- I don't have one.

Oh no.

You're a student. You should be
carrying one around with you.

It's... I'm in art school.

[sniffles]

- Oh, that's a bummer.
- What?

If you're in art school,
you might draw my face one day.

[woman] No, please.

I'm a terrible artist. I really am.

I went to a lousy university
in the countryside.

[sobbing] I'm begging you, don't k*ll me.

Art schools are expensive.

You should be able to draw
if you went to an art school.

[woman] Two citizens
who were having a meal at a restaurant

performed CPR on a person who collapsed.

- They were able to save a precious life.
- Hmm.

They turned out to be new police recruits.

They are Officer Kim

from the Central Precinct
of Gyeongbuk Gucheon Police Station,

and Officer Shin from the Central Precinct
of Seoul Dangjeong Police Station.

The two were eating in a restaurant
in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, on the 21st

when they saw the waitress collapse
while serving food.

They immediately
administered aid and saved her life.

In the urgent situation,
Officer Kim called emergency services

while Officer Shin began performing CPR.

The unconscious employee
woke up after two minutes.

The two officers
who immediately came to her aid

joined the police force at the same time,

and they had received
their training together.

Security camera footage went viral online

when it was revealed
that the two were new recruits.

The waitress who collapsed regained
consciousness after receiving CPR

and was treated at the hospital afterward.

The two received commendation
from the Commissioner General.

[voice on TV slows and distorts]

- The man seems taken aback and flees.
- [gasps]

The victim's friend chases him,
but he manages to escape.

The authorities identified him as Lee,
a criminal wanted for attempted m*rder.

The victim, Mr. Kim,
d*ed on the way to the hospital.

WANTED CRIMINAL FLEES
AFTER A STABBING RAMPAGE

The police are expanding their search
in order to find Lee, who escaped.

They have made a request
for an arrest warrant...

[monitors bleeping]

[swallows]

[ventilator hissing]

[sighs softly]

Get your rest.

- [phone buzzes]
- [sighs]

Yeah?

- [man] Detective Jang Nan-gam?
- Yes.

I'm Moon Myeong-jun, the new captain.

Are you home?

I heard that you were the one
who knows the most, uh...

[laughs]...about Song Chon.

[Rex panting]

- [Jang] Is that what they said?
- I also heard that it was personal.

It kind of was, I suppose.

Hey. It's great to have motivation.

This isn't right.

I thought you'd have his case files
glued on every wall of your house in here.

Like in the movies. [chuckles]

Sorry to ask you...

is there a reason that you stopped by?

Well, I think...

this tip-off,

I find it quite credible, to be honest.

And...

this here.

This Mapo Station case
was just filed today.

[Jang sighs]

[Myeong-jun] I think it's the same MO.
What do you think?

It's a possibility.

He k*lled the wrong person
this time, however.

You know the famous case
with Gajok Construction, right?

[Jang] Yes. I do.

[Myeong-jun]
It's now called Buyeon Construction.

This is the chairman's granddaughter.

And apparently,
a special promotion is on the line

for whoever is able to solve this case.

[Jang scoffs]

Detective Jang.

[chuckles]

Help me. Help me catch my break.

[chuckles]

Come back to work tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?
- Mm-hmm.

Besides, we can't just let this monster
wander around at large.

Oh, um...

[door closes]

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES

Don't worry about the book.

There's a plan A, B, C, D.
Don't worry, okay? Look, I've got this.

I'll clean this up.
So you just keep lying low.

[Tang] Don't change the subject.

What kind of man is this guy?

Uh...

[yelling and grunting]

[man 1] Who the hell are you? Come on!

Don't! [coughs]

Oh God! [yells]

[Bin] I thought he was like you at first.

Because he wanted to change the world.

You're exactly what
this world needs right now.

So how about we join forces,
and then bring justice to the world?

[sobbing]

- [panicked screaming]
- [water hissing]

[screaming continues]

[Bin] But I was very, very wrong.

So it's my responsibility to fix this.

Let me meet him.

Huh? Really?

The situation's been changed.

[phone buzzes]

Huh.

Well, hi.

[laughs]

I heard that
you were interested in meeting me.

Yeah.

You're much more courageous
than you look, huh? Ten points for you!

Right.

I'm gonna give you some directions.

MINERVA COFFEE SHOP

So listen up, okay?

[chuckles] It's better if we, uh...

- meet somewhere nicer than a coffee shop.

Huh?

- [man 2] Hey, hey, move.
- [Bin] Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Chon] Yeah, yeah.
That's the place. That's it. All right.

Now, come to the second floor, okay?

ROH BIN
DECLINE CALL

Come right in. [laughs]

HAWAII CLUB

You found it. Hah!

HAWAII CLUB

[scraping sounds]

Hey. Over here.

Help yourself.

[laughs]

So, what do you want?

I thought it'd be nice.

We can talk about life now.

We're in the same shoes.

It's not like...

[sighs]...we can talk about things
to anyone else.

It's frustrating, lonely. [chuckles]

I understand.

[laughs]

You know,

I've been curious about somethin', hmm?

How do you...

how do you pick who dies?

[Chon] Hmm?

ME

- [Bin] Turn left here.
- [man 3] What?

Left on this street! Go now!

Ah, you should've said sooner.

Ah, U-turns are the worst.

[man 4] Sir, I think
you have to make a U-turn.

- What am I supposed to do?
- Just make a U-turn! There are no cars!

- That's not legal.
- So you follow every f*cking law?

- Shut it. I'm not doing that.
- Hey, shut up! Will you just shut up?

Just make a left turn up here, all right?

[under breath] Little bitch.

Wait, maybe that's too big for a start.

Something easier. Hmm.

I heard that you... get these hunches,
or something.

Wait, what?

Are you normally this quiet?

Answer yes or no.

Do you get, you know, tingles?

Something like that? This jolt?

Huh?

[car pulls up]

Is this the right place?

I... I'm pretty sure it is.

Get a move on!

Hurry!

- Come on, move!
- [man 1] Hey, hey!

I'm done with your bullshit. Grab him.

Hey, what are you doing?
Why are you doing this?

I mean, learn to read the room
before you act out.

Yeah?

- You're really getting on my nerves.
- [whimpers]

[laughter echoing]

Aaah!

Hang on. So, it's not like...

you have some kind of special,
uh, superpower, huh?

Where, I mean, you somehow know

all the evil deeds that a person has done
in their entire life

just by touching them?

'Cause that's insane.

Aah. Oh, come on.

Hey, yeah.

This is boring.

Huh? Boy, this is anticlimactic.

HAWAII CLUB

[groaning]

[panting]

Anyway.

Do you have any questions for me?

Ask me anything. I'll tell you.

Where's my book at?

Ah, the one I borrowed?

I'm not done with it.

Hey.

About Roh Bin, huh?

Don't trust that guy.

If you make a single mistake,

he'll abandon you right away.

Look how he was keeping your book.

Ugh.

Do you wanna work together?

Hmm?

The problem is, I get confused

when I pick who I might k*ll.

It keeps getting more and more confusing.

[chuckles]

I don't care if you mess up, hmm?

There's always collateral damage
for the common good.

Wouldn't you agree?

So much garbage to clean up,

but I don't have much time.

And I'm not as young as I used to be.

Aah!

Well, it's... it's getting quite late.

So think it over and let me know.

Don't make me wait too long, though, pal.
[chuckles]

You know what the issue is, huh?

They'll just keep making trouble
if you let them be.

[chuckles]

[sounds echoing]

[dynamic music plays]

[groans]

[Chon] Is this your answer?

Hah.

- Oh.
- [Tang groans]

We should always be on alert, right?

Most people...

- [Tang grunts]
- Eh?

Don't know exactly when they'll die.

That's the reason
assholes like you can get them.

But me,

I'm not one of them.

- [Tang whimpering softly]
- Huh.

Yeah...

Now you look like
you've come to your senses.

You look so pitiful. [laughs]

Hmm? Know what?

I've given it some thought.

And you just

don't seem to have any sense

of heroism or responsibility.

Aren't you just a m*rder*r, then?

A m*rder*r that...

deserves to die.

[clanking]

[Chon] Oh.

[grunts]

[man 2] f*ck. He caught us, you shithead.

[man 1] I told you to stay quiet.

[man 2] I'm sorry, sir.
My legs were cramped.

[man 1] Yeah, yeah.

[Chon] Hey! Hey!

We... we're not open.

We're not here to drink.

Then what do you want?

We're here to escort you, sir.

Shall we?

[sighs]

[man 3] Who's this?

What's with the scrawny kid?

- [man 5] Do we just let him walk?
- [man 3] What the hell?

[Tang gasping]

Thanks.

Why did you keep the book?

It wasn't because I didn't trust you.

I had this plan.

But he took the book.

I'm sorry.

I failed you.

But I still have a plan.
Can you just trust me again?

Hyung.

I'm so scared.

[sobbing]

[g*nsh*t echoes]
