[bunniefuu]

By the way,

how did you know I'd be here?

I looked up and found

that the university has fixed off days.

And I found out you lived in Seoul

during my part-time job.

-Part-time job?

-Yes.

When I was acting like you'd saved me.

Was I any good?

Then you must know who employed you.

I thought it was you?

The agency gives us a job,

and we act as we're told

and get paid. That's all.

-We don't know who requests the jobs.

-(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

-Excuse me.

-Sure.

(IN KOREAN) You're on a date. I'm so

jealous. So, are you enjoying the dinner?

What do you want?

I saw you talking with Jo Heon.

What did you talk about?

None of your business.

Jiyong, it's me.

I told you, you need me.

Jo Heon is a puppet of those in power.

He's our common enemy.

It's time for us to join forces.

You're with him, aren't you?

I think you are.

You're not telling me

what you talked about.

He knows about me.

What?

Only two people know about me.

You and Jo Heon.

It's suspicious.

Someone other than me knows about you?

Damn it.

We're not meeting today.

And one more thing.

I know you cloned my cell.

Bring me his cloned phone.

Then we'll talk in person.

About you and me working together.

What How did you know

I was peeping into your phone?

You're making it so obvious.

How can I not know?

Okay, fine.

But you're not

thinking of getting out of this

after k*lling Jo Heon and me, are you?

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS)

Contact me after cloning his phone.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

(CHAINS CLINKING)

(CLANGING)

(THUDS)

MIRYEO: Wow

This is too big for Yeon Jaehak

to handle by himself.

It has to be Sewool's.

DAESEOK: They have ill*gal servers

in a place like this?

MIRYEO: QQ Coin?

The b*stards are doing

everything that makes money.

What's going on? There's nothing here.

MIRYEO: They were definitely here.

Computers and servers.

(PANTING)

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

See? They were here.

Then what about the reporter

you said was k*lled?

This is crazy.

POLICE: Let's wrap it up and go back.

I'll talk to her.

Ma'am, we understand what you said.

We will look into it.

We'll call you in for questioning

if necessary,

so you should go home for now.

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

Jo Heon speaking.

It's been a while

since I sent you to catch the Vigilante.

Why is there no news?

I got some leads.

I'll call you when I get him.

After I retire?

You entrusted me with it,

so please continue to do so.

The realignment is around the corner.

Take care of it before that

so it won't hold me back.

Understood, sir.

-(SIGHS)

-(LINE DISCONNECTS)

(GRUNTING)

Jiyong, let me hold it for you.

Your phone was off two nights ago.

Were you doing something important?

I went to bed early because I was tired.

So with who?

What do you mean? I slept alone.

Just be honest.

(GRUNTING)

SEONWOOK: He's not answering.

JUN: Right.

Are you going

to keep secrets from us like this?

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

(PANTING)

See? He's acting suspicious, isn't he?

Yes, very.

I'd like it to be more intense next time.

LIVE BROADCAST, REPO25H

I am sure you all heard actor Yeon Jaehak,

who had been arrested

for running an ill*gal website,

committed suicide.

He died on the day he was supposed

to meet our staff.

These are the texts he sent us.

JAEHAK: Hello, this is actor Yeon Jaehak.

I have evidence

that Sewool Future Resources is

the one who ran the ill*gal website,

not me.

I'd like to tell you the truth in person.

REPORTER: A person who was going to

commit suicide wouldn't send this.

Let's take a look.

This is where Yeon Jaehak

supposedly ran the ill*gal website.

As soon as you enter the location,

you can see hundreds of mining machines

and traces of QQ Coin mining.

Also, there is circumstantial evidence

that someone tried to k*ll our reporter.

In fact, a reporter was m*rder*d,

with his body still missing.

And reporter Choi Miryeo,

who was with him,

narrowly escaped.

There is another case.

You have probably heard of an ill*gal

cryptocurrency exchange through QQ Coin

that happened recently.

A whopping 800 billion.

Since the transaction,

there is no trace of the culprit.

There is one more thing.

Chairman Kim Samdoo who was recently

released after being found not guilty

MAN 1: Sir, you have a call from the Vole.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

MAN 2: (OVER PHONE) Mr. Kim.

Turn on REPO25h right now.

Turn on the TV. REPO25h.

REPORTER: Here are the texts

we received from Yeon Jaehak.

I'll reveal everything about Eom Jaehyub,

aka the Vole,

who is backing Sewool.

It seems there's one more dog

sniffing around.

Is this how you plan to work?

Eom Jaehyub

EOM JAEHYUB

Yes, this is all circumstantial for now.

However, we are slowly uncovering evidence

to back up this assumption.

Did Yeon Jaehak really commit suicide?

And what are the connections between

Sewool and Eom Jaehyub, the Vole?

We promise to only deliver

the facts and truth

without caving in

to any external pressure and threats.

sh*t. You think that's true?

It better not be.

Isn't it too big a case

to be bait for the Vigilante?

Choi Miryeo

-Hello, sir.

-Hello

Kwak Changhyun, are you f*cking crazy?

Who said you could air that?

-Pardon?

-The report on REPO25h.

You gave Choi the right

to cover anything

without your permission, so

Hey!

How could you really do that?

Do you know who just called me?

God damn it.

Why did Moon from Dongseon have to

God damn it!

In any case,

you take care of this.

Understood?

But how can I

I mean Choi Miryeo!

Make sure she never does

something like this again.

I made myself clear.

If you can't, just quit!

Damn it.

Son of a b*tch.

-Good work.

-Good work.

-Good work.

-CHANGHYUN: Where's Miryeo?

Hey, Choi Miryeo.

Hey, what are you going to do now?

-What do you mean?

-You acted on your own,

aired whatever you liked,

and had Reporter Moon k*lled!

How could a reporter

Do you even have any feelings of guilt?

How could you do that as a reporter?

Should I stop reporting

just because Daeseok was k*lled?

-Should I stop the show?

-What did you say?

You receive bribes,

and you're wined and dined

by all kinds of organizations,

companies, and sponsors.

How dare you tell me

what kind of reporter I am!

Am I wrong?

What am I going to do now?

Just wait and see how far I go.

(SIGHS)

Clean up. Now!

Clean this all up. Before I burn it all.

MAN 1: So?

MAN 2: Yes, it's ready.

Make sure to bring the body.

Yes, sir.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

-Soedol.

-Yes.

Chop more firewood.

It won't be enough.

Yes, sir.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(TIRES SCREECH)

(MIRYEO GRUNTS)

MAN: Get in!

(GRUNTING)

What the heck?

(PANTING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Who are you?

Hello.

I'm Jo Heon, team leader of the RIU.

So?

How did you know I'd be attacked here?

Was there a tip?

No.

I came for something else.

Do not give the Vigilante any more prey.

I don't follow you.

Do not make it worse

in order to get scoops.

That's what I mean.

If you don't want to be in danger again.

That sounds strange.

Are you unable to catch the Vigilante?

Or are you choosing not to?

Don't you need

my show to catch the Vigilante?

I don't.

The Vigilante will be caught soon.

So you should stop now.

CONTINUE WITH THE RECENT DESTINATION?

(PANTS)

Why were you lurking around Choi Miryeo?

What are you talking about? You hit me!

Uncuff me, you son of

(GROANS)

Why were you lurking around Choi Miryeo?

What are you talking about?

I was just passing by, you b*stard.

Son of a b*tch.

Here. Write down

everyone you've met

for the last six months.

Everyone? Even the owner

of my favorite noodles restaurant?

Wait!

(SCREAMING IN PAIN)

Remember now?

I do.

Write them down.

Kim Samdoo.

SEWOOL FUTURE RESOURCES

CHAIRMAN KIM SAMDO

Here, sir.

Who's Mr. Bang?

He's the one who told me

to bring Choi Miryeo.

Chairman Kim Samdoo uses

his services often.

I only know his last name.

SOEDOL

And Soedol?

He's Mr. Bang's right-hand man.

He's well-versed in karate, judo

and wushu. Pretty much everything.

I heard he's a huge guy.

The Squeezer?

He's one of Kim Samdoo's guys.

He's a fat bald guy.

He's so freaking strong

that he squeezes people to death.

So he's called the Squeezer.

What ridiculous names.

By the way, where are we going, sir?

The place you went to most recently.

75-9 SAJI-RO, YONGIN-SI

(SIGHS)

If we're going there,

could you bring more people?

SOU, SWAT, or something like that.

Why would you go alone?

Or if you could drop me here,

I'll take a cab.

You don't need me anymore.

I told you everything.

All right. Be careful with them.

Let's hurry up.

Cut this part as well.

Hey. Were more people supposed to come?

No, I don't think so.

Who are you?

We asked who you are, you b*stard.

Are you deaf?

I'm with the police!

Please kneel down where you are now.

If you do as I say,

I'll treat you like human beings.

You b*stard!

(MEN SCREAMING, GRUNTING)

-Sir.

-Here.

REPORTER: Good evening. Breaking news.

I'm in front of a temporary building

in Gyeonggi.

It looks like a normal factory,

but it has been revealed

to be a vigilante m*rder factory.

The vigilante suspects

are now pleading the Fifth

and refusing to talk.

The location is completely cordoned off,

and KCSI is investigating the scene.

They're finally caught.

We have analyzed the weapons

found at the scene,

and discovered the DNA

of the Vigilante's victims.

We have evidence that two of the suspects

have worked for the company

that sponsors vigilante activities.

We also found files that contain

the details of the Vigilante cases

in the computers.

But the Vigilante has never hidden bodies

until now.

Is it really them?

We'll need to investigate further

to be sure,

but it seems the suspects formed

a vigilante organization

and got rid of the victims' bodies

or displayed them

at each member's discretion.

These lame guys are the Vigilante?

Jo Heon.

You're the team leader of the RIU.

How could you do this

without reporting it to me?

You think I gave you the right to do that?

What will the media, politicians

and civic groups say?

Are you sure they're the Vigilante?

I am confident.

That's not what I'm asking

I have the evidence.

How could you let some dog bust our farm?

I'm sorry, sir.

And why is Jo Heon claiming

that we're the Vigilante?

That's what I don't understand either.

Why he helped Choi Miryeo

and framed us.

It can't be the Vole, since he wants

Choi Miryeo dead more than anyone.

And the Vole's the one

who appointed Jo Heon.

(SIGHS) It's complicated.

No, it's actually simple.

There's one more dog now. That's all.

All right?

Yes, sir. I'll take care of them both.

(SIGHS)

-Thank you.

-Of course,

I should join you in doing good

at a time like this.

-Right?

-Thank you.

-Hong, take a picture.

-Yes, sir.

LOVE SHARING IN HAPPINESS VILLAGE WITH

SEWOOL FUTURE RESOURCES AND MITEUM CHURCH

In three, two, one.

That's enough. (CHUCKLES)

The other things are being prepared

as planned.

(LAUGHS)

Be careful what you say.

-What do I do now?

-Oh, right. Come this way.

I can't believe the Vigilante was

a mere crime organization.

What did I tell you? I could just tell.

I knew they were just criminals

from the beginning.

Do you really believe

they're the Vigilante?

Is your judgment

really that poor?

I have nothing more to say. Just quit.

-Get out.

-(KNOCK ON DOOR)

I think you should come see this.

REPORTER 1: There has been a m*rder

at a bookstore in Seoul this evening.`

C, the victim, was a drug offender

with three priors for r*pe.

What's shocking is the crime scene.

Let's take a look.

REPORTER 2: This is a bookstore in Seoul.

C, a drug offender

with three priors for r*pe,

was found dead here.

What's shocking is the crime scene.

"Heaven's Net. Forgive me,"

was written on the wall.

It is similar to the case

of Jeong Deokheung's m*rder

from two months ago.

It has not been a week

since the police arrested

It's the Vigilante.

It's the real Vigilante.

Right?

He's trying to prove

that the police have fabricated it.

"They're not real."

"The real Vigilante is here."

(WHOOPING)

(LAUGHING)

REPORTER 2: The police are trying

to find out if it's by the Vigilante.

-Some claim that the pig farm case was

-(WHOOPING)

fabricated to look

like the Vigilante's doing

That's my brother! You're the best!

You're so cool!

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

-It's done. Good work.

-Thank you. Good job.

Mr. Kim, why don't you

-and the pastor take a picture?

-Sure.

Sir.

Choi Junsik's been k*lled

by the Vigilante.

And the ledger is gone.

(SIGHS)

Let's take a photo.

SAMDOO: Let's take it next time.

-SAMDOO: Bring the car around.

-Yes, sir.

Contact the loan sharks and druggies

and tell them

to pause their business

and bring the money over.

Yes, sir.

Kim Jiyong.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

JIYONG: I'm sure you're busy.

What brings you here, sir?

I'm here to give you a last chance.

Stop this.

Stop all this

and follow me.

I'll lead you.

JIYONG: I felt it when I first saw you

You've k*lled someone before.

And when you didn't arrest me, I realized

that you take care

of cases unofficially on someone's orders.

You and I don't seem very different.

So how and where are you going to lead me?

No matter how great something is,

if it's uncontrollable,

it's nothing more than a lethal weapon.

The world's better off without it.

Kim Jiyong.

If I guide you well,

you could go places.

Sir.

Have you ever been

in the shoes of the weak?

Of those who are bullied and abused?

Do you know

how it feels to not be able to do anything

when crimes ruin

your life?

When the law you believed was just

is endlessly generous to criminals,

but neglects victims

When the law that must be sacred

judges differently depending on the person

and doesn't protect victims

When that happens,

I believe you have the right

to protect yourself.

Now go ahead and say it.

I'm sure you have something to say.

No, keep going.

I'll hear you out.

Then, one more thing.

I'll ask you just one more thing.

Let's say someone who ruined

someone else's life

doesn't repent,

even after a generous verdict,

and commits the same crimes

after they're released.

If you could save lives

of more innocent people

by depriving this one criminal

of their human rights,

is that right

or wrong?

That's your biggest problem.

Your confidence that you can't be wrong.

People like you

become monsters eventually.

Jiyong.

Was it painful?

Or

was it fun?

Today, I will

stop you.

I didn't ask you if I'll become a monster

in the future.

I asked you if I was wrong!

(GRUNTS)

What do you think is the crime

that society punishes most heavily

across all ages and countries?

m*rder? r*pe?

Arson?

No, it's

-treason.

-(GASPING)

The one who challenges the existing power

and fails it!

Kim Jiyong,

you are not a violent offender.

You are a traitor!

You're challenging the existing system!

-The law! The law you talked about!

-(GRUNTING)

You're challenging the law.

(JIYONG GRUNTS, GROANS)

(GROANING)

Even if you feel that you're right,

you're challenging the system

with violence.

You need to think it over.

(GRUNTING)

I'll answer to your question.

I agree with you.

But that's how I feel as a human being.

It means nothing to me

as a police officer.

My job gives meaning to my life.

And I'm proud to be a police officer.

But as proud as I am

to be a civil servant,

there are so many

incompetent and lazy police officers,

even corrupt ones.

That's what pains me.

And that's why I feel sorry for you.

The man who abhors crimes

and is ready to fight against crimes!

If you slightly change direction,

you could become

such a great police officer.

(GROANS)

(PANTING)

Traitor Kim Jiyong.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Die.

I think that's the only solution.
