Athena International Sports Games

Wooo! GO!

Go! Korea!

Joongryeok

Moo Joongryeok! Moo Joongryeok!

Wooo!

GO, JACK! Wooo!

Go, Moo Joongryeok!

Box!

You can do it! GO, JACK!

Go, Moo Joongryeok! Let's go!

Swoosh

Smack!

Moo Joongryeok! Moo Joongryeok!

Stop!

Get in your corner.

Hey, Joongryeok!

Hey, Joongryeok. Joongryeok!

Get it together! You're being cornered.

His punches are too strong.

He has a longer reach than you.

An infighter like you has no chance.

Give me a strategy if you're a coach!

-I have an idea.

-What is it?

-Hold your ground.

-What?

I said hold your ground!

You've gotten this far

by holding your ground.

Listen. Life is all about that one shot.

You're always saying that.

Go now!

Box!

Hold your ground.

Hold your ground, come on!

Now!

- Hey, Jack.

- What?

Four.

Fight.

Four punches,

and you're out!

One, two, three…

Come on, Jack, get up.

- …four, five…

- Come on.

- …six, seven, eight…

- Come on.

-…nine, ten!

-Come on, Jack! Get up!

Oh… Take that!

So you're the legendary KO King of Athens?

It's an honor to meet you. Bow.

That's all in the past now.

It was a long time ago.

I used to do sports too.

-What did you do?

-I did judo in high school.

Were you an elite?

Then we're fellow athletes.

No, I was just an amateur.

Anyway, why did you quit boxing?

Health issues.

Did you get sick?

No, I'm not sick or anything,

but punches hurt.

Have you never been punched?

Punching someone isn't easy either.

You end up so bruised and aching

that you can't sleep at night.

Try boxing sometime and you'll see.

Here comes the boss!

Correctional facility

Welcome back, Boss!

You did well, Boss.

It's not like I did anything in there.

Mr. Oh Sangsu.

-Who are you?

-He's the KO King of Athens.

Athens? The karaoke bar?

I'm from the Songwon Police,

not a karaoke bar.

This is your arrest warrant, Mr. Oh.

You're under arrest

for unlawful debt collection

and special intimidation.

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to become an attorney…

That came out wrong.

You have the right to an attorney.

Hold on.

I just got released from prison.

I've looked everywhere for you!

I had no idea you were in there.

I've waited so long for you.

- Detective.

- Nice to meet you.

-Just a second, Detective.

-What?

Boss!

Hey, athlete.

-Leave this life of crime behind.

-Okay.

You look like you love food,

so why not become a cook?

Well… Okay.

Mr. Oh!

Hey, Sangsu!

Get in, Boss!

That was close.

-Let's go.

-Sure, to the Songwon Police Station.

Detective Moo!

Detective Moo! You're the best!

- Let's go!

- That was awesome!

Let's go, move!

Let's go! Let's go!

Go! Go!

So, how's working in the field?

Daunting, isn't it?

I wouldn't say that. I'm learning a lot.

You're not a student anymore.

If you want to learn, pay tuition.

-Give me the report.

-Yes, sir.

Here you go.

It all looks good.

Ask someone over here to do that.

We all work in the police force.

Don't think you and I are any different.

Here's your lunch, sir.

The Chief State Councilor set, right?

Yes, thanks.

- Enjoy your lunch.

- Thank you.

-Yubin, hand me that.

-Hand you what?

- Behind my jacket.

- Behind your jacket?

What is this?

-You mean this?

-Yes.

-Want me to put it on you?

-Forget it.

I have a meeting soon,

so I'd rather keep my jacket on.

My daughter got me this

-because she loves bees.

-Ah!

Police standing by the people

with transparency and justice

- Hey, Dongbang!

- Hi.

I'll catch up.

- Why are you here?

- To see the commissioner.

-Do you have a minute?

-Yeah.

Thank you.

If the commissioner summoned you

all the way here for a briefing…

…it seems like he hasn't given up on you.

There are others he can rely on.

That's my point.

Yet he still insists on working with you.

Don't you want to work at headquarters?

What was all that studying for?

I'm happy where I am.

They seem to have a reputation.

A bad one.

Mm-mm. They're not that bad.

All of them are quite charming

in their own unique ways.

Charming, my foot.

Is this about what happened in the States?

Is that why you prefer fieldwork?

It's time to let go.

It's been a long time,

and the rumor

that the perp is back in Korea…

I saw you on TV. Remaking of Crime.

It seems quite popular.

Who cares? It's just work.

Still, the media sure is a powerful tool.

Some cases are getting a second look

after being featured on the show.

Speaking of which,

come on our show sometime.

You'd do well.

I don't think so.

You don't have to answer now.

Just give it some thought.

-What are you doing?

-I'm thinking.

What?

My answer's still no.

Seoul Busters

Episode 4

- Good work!

- Cheers!

Captain!

The warrant for Oh Sangsu's arrest

came through. Good work.

Don't mention it, sir.

All we did was wait outside the prison

and pick him up.

We still deserve credit.

We looked everywhere for him

with the former captain too.

How did you figure out he was in prison

just by going through the papers, sir?

He changed his name

and even used aliases,

but he didn't change his email address.

I got lucky.

Wow, email? American style.

You're incredible, sir.

Here's your snow fried chicken.

- Thank you.

- Enjoy.

I jumped through many hoops

to arrange this dinner.

Apparently, this place is super popular.

Oh. Dig in, everyone.

It looks good, although it's not beef.

Hey, have some manners.

Captain's treating us to a meal.

I need to capture this.

Let's see here.

I'm done.

Stop making such a fuss,

for crying out loud.

Thank you for the food,

although it's not beef.

Were you grass in your past life?

Why are you so obsessed with eating cows?

Wow, this looks so yummy.

-Unbelievable.

-My goodness.

Mmm, chicken.

Mmm, chicken. Mmm, mmm, chicken.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Flavor analysis in progress.

Mm, analysis complete.

It's delicious.

Seriously,

AI wouldn't be half as rude as you.

Captain.

Try the drumstick, sir.

I prefer lean cuts.

Oh, I see you're Team Lean Cuts.

No wonder you're so lean, sir.

Thank you.

This place is really crowded.

Like I said,

this place was chosen

as one of Seoul's top seven chicken joints

by Chicken Hunter,

a YouTuber with a million subscribers.

Seoul's top seven chicken joints.

Next up is One Shot Chicken!

One Shot Chicken

Isn't it pretty good, sir?

-Not really.

-No?

The soy sauce flavor is overpowering,

and the batter is too thick.

They jumped on the cheese bandwagon,

but it doesn't go well with the sauce.

Actually,

even the curing has failed.

In other words,

this is prêt-à-porter

pretending to be haute couture.

Dongbang Yubin's Encyclopedia

Haute Couture vs Prêt-à-porter

Haute Couture: High-end custom clothing

Prêt-à-porter: Mass-produced clothing

In my opinion.

I see.

What would a mere chicken YouTuber

know about chicken anyway?

Even if he has

a whopping million subscribers.

You can go ahead with it.

Sure, don't worry about it.

Okay, bye.

-Hey.

-Yes? Are you talking to me?

Hey!

-Joongryeok, is that you?

-What are you doing here?

Are you the owner of this place?

Yes, one thing led to another,

and I fry chicken these days.

Have you quit coaching completely?

That was a long time ago.

I quit ages ago.

Then again, why stay in a sweaty gym

when you can rake in money as the boss?

The boss, my foot.

I'm up to my neck in debt.

Anyway, I heard

you joined the police force.

Ah

-I'm having a team dinner right now.

-Really?

Coach Yoon!

I'm getting some chicken for the kids.

Can I get a family discount again?

-Are we suddenly family now?

-Please, just this once.

By the way, you know Joongryeok, right?

What about him?

-Joongryeok!

-Son Taesung with a runny nose?

I don't have a runny nose anymore.

What is this, a reunion?

I can't believe I ran into you guys.

I didn't know you two were in touch.

This guy runs a boxing gym

down the street.

He's the owner.

Coach Yoon sometimes gives

special lessons at my gym,

and I buy his chicken.

What are you doing here, Dad?

The orders are piling up.

- I'll be right in.

- Hey.

You must be Hyojoo, right?

I knew you looked familiar.

Don't you remember me?

-I'm not sure…

-When you were this little…

How old was she back then?

She was barely a year old.

Right. I sang

at your first birthday party, remember?

Well…

-Come back in.

-Wait.

Let me give you a little pocket money.

-No, you don't have to.

-I insist.

It's really fine.

Just say thank you and take…

- It's okay, Joongryeok.

- Look, give me your account number.

-Sorry?

-Your bank account number.

-It's really fine.

-Well, then.

-See you inside.

-Okay.

It's not fine!

Forget it.

Is your necklace gold? Take it off.

It's just gold-plated.

Ugh! You haven't changed a bit, have you?

Let's go in.

Yes, let's go in.

- So you own a gym now?

- I sure do.

Did you enjoy your food?

No, not really.

- Sorry?

- Don't mind him.

We really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Did the owner used to be a boxer?

How did you know that?

The gold medal behind you.

That's actually stainless steel.

It's just gold-plated.

But my dad treasures it--

Look how shiny it is.

He must wipe it every day.

Of course. I'll be buried with it.

You're being silly.

Who here doesn't have a gold medal?

-I don't.

-You don't?

- Not yet.

- What have you been doing?

Goodness. Ring us up now.

Wait, you don't have to pay.

You can just go.

It's our department's credit card.

Go ahead and swipe it.

That's my credit card.

Swipe it already!

Rip us off!

Hyojoo, ring up a million won

to include your pocket money.

- Okay.

- I said it's fine.

Buy me a drink later.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Hi, Jiwoong.

Take this.

- This is for the delivery?

- Yes. Drive safe.

Okay.

I saw on Instagram that you're giving out

gifts for your first anniversary.

We're out of stock, so…

Oh! Then what are these?

Those are samples.

I don't mind.

- Then you can take them.

- Thanks.

- I'll write down my number for rewards.

- Sure.

Can you please stop?

It's embarrassing.

I know. Stop it.

Minsoo, we'll get going.

Take a group photo before you leave.

We're taking pictures of our customers

to celebrate our anniversary.

Hyojoo, take a picture of them.

Okay. Just a second, please.

You don't have to. Forget it.

-It does seem unnecessary.

-Let's do it. It's free.

-Please take a picture of us.

-Let's take a picture.

-Here we go.

-Come closer.

Three, two, one. Chicken!

One Shot Chicken

Songwon Police Station

has moved to a temporary location

Wish-It-Well Daycare Center

This is the Violent Crimes Team.

I'm not just some kid. I'm Donggoo.

-This really is the Violent Crimes Team.

-Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, Donggoo!

This is the Songwon Police

Violent Crimes Team.

Hello?

Hey.

Who said you could answer the phone?

The phone was ringing.

That doesn't mean you can answer it.

Do you not answer the phone

when it's ringing?

I do, but…

But…

What's this kid doing here now?

Stop coming in here, or else.

I was going to stay outside,

but the weather's too cold for kids.

Where's your mom?

She told me to play

on the playground for a bit.

Goodness,

-we can't even control a little kid.

-Get out.

This precinct has gone to the dogs.

I'm not a dog. I'm Donggoo.

Fine, I get it!

This precinct has gone to Donggoo.

-This is the Violent Crimes Team.

-I missed it.

Pardon?

Okay, we'll head over there right now.

-What's the matter?

-Someone got injured in a fire.

Where was the fire?

At One Shot Chicken.

What?

It was where?

What happened?

I heard someone got injured.

Fortunately,

the fire started after business hours,

but the owner's daughter

happened to be here.

- Hyojoo?

- Hyojoo?

-Look.

-Who's that?

Yes, her name's Yoon Hyojoo.

How do you know her name?

Is she in serious condition?

Luckily,

she got rescued quickly,

but she's still unconscious.

- What's with him?

- He's friends with the owner.

From his boxing days.

Burnt power strip

Undamaged plugs

The witness said

the fire started around 4 a.m.

If it was an accident,

it could've been the power strip

or the air conditioner short-circuiting.

The power strip isn't the cause.

The plugs are undamaged.

You're right.

Who could've done this…

Could this have been arson?

We don't know yet,

but it's a possibility.

Captain.

Mr. Yoon is with his daughter

at the hospital.

Detective Moo is heading there right now.

- Get the CCTV footage from around here.

- Yes, sir.

Watch out!

What did you say?

- It's slippery. Watch out.

- Got it.

Oh, dear.

Is walking from here to there

so difficult?

It seems like there are

no CCTVs in the restaurant.

Really?

I remember seeing a camera

on the ceiling.

I'll retrieve the footage.

If this was an accident,

a fire must've started for some reason,

and the daughter must've failed to escape.

No, something doesn't add up.

Why would she have been here

alone at night?

That's not strange at all.

It's actually quite plausible.

Sehwa University Hospital

She doesn't even like chicken.

But since I struggled to find part-timers…

and keep them…

she volunteered to help.

Joongryeok.

Hyojoo will be okay, right?

She means…

everything to me.

Remember what you said to me

when I wanted to give up on training?

"Everything will be okay in the end."

That's what you told me.

She'll be okay.

I just received Yoon Hyojoo's results

from the hospital.

Her injury…

…wasn't caused by suffocation.

The back of her head was torn,

and she suffered a concussion.

It's likely that someone

attacked her from behind.

Hmm…

The fire department

is still processing the scene,

but this points to arson.

Understood.

Lee Jiwoong, age 19

The fire was reported by the part-timer,

Lee Jiwoong.

Why was he there so early?

He works out at the gym every morning.

He saw the fire on his way to the gym

and made a report.

He also found Hyojoo unconscious

and carried her out.

That's incredible.

Not everyone can jump

into a fire like that.

-What about the exits?

-There are two doors.

The main entrance

and the back door connected

to the kitchen.

But here's the thing.

Both doors have keypad locks.

And they're not damaged at all.

If this was arson,

the culprit must've known the passcode.

Maybe they broke in through a window.

All the windows at the scene were broken.

The windows showed

signs of thermal stress.

They broke due to high air pressure,

not by external force.

There must only be a handful of people

who know the passcode,

including the owner's daughter.

Hey.

What are you implying?

I'm not suspecting her.

I'm just stating what I observed.

Minsoo may be frying chicken now,

but he was Korea's first

WBA featherweight champion. Got it?

Mr. Yoon is one of the suspects for now.

He's a victim, not a suspect.

Are you suggesting he harmed Hyojoo?

Don't be ridiculous.

More than half of arson cases

are committed by insiders.

- I'm sure you know that.

- Whatever.

It's not him.

We must always consider all possibilities.

Uh…

There's one more door.

Where?

Right here.

-The perp could've entered--

-This marker is dried out.

Just a second.

There's supposed to be a wall here.

I'm sorry.

What do we know about Yoon Hyojoo?

Oh, she's the chicken joint owner's…

She is the daughter

of a former boxing champion.

She started helping out

at the restaurant two months ago.

She's a sophomore in economics

at Yeonju University,

currently on a leave of absence.

Do we have any CCTV footage?

There were no CCTVs at the entrance,

but I retrieved footage

from the nearest CCTV,

and it captured someone suspicious.

Here's the footage.

A man was heading

toward One Shot Chicken

30 minutes before the fire.

Can we identify him?

I'll look into it.

- Send me the file.

- Okay.

Detectives Jung and Jang,

find out what Hyojoo did that day.

Yes, sir.

We'll keep all possibilities open for now.

And Detective Moo.

Please keep your personal feelings

out of the case.

Otherwise, I'll have to remove you

from the case.

That's all for today.

Does Minsoo come here often?

Every once in a while.

Why did he quit coaching anyway?

I thought he wanted to coach for life.

It's a long story.

Basically, he lost a power struggle.

All he knew was sports.

It'd be more accurate to say

he got kicked out.

But you know how he is.

He chips in

to support young boxers in need

and gives them lessons.

Hey,

are you trying to hammer a nail?

Pardon?

Instead of hammering,

think of it as

piercing something with an awl.

That's better.

And instead of using

your shoulder to punch,

let your shoulder follow your fist.

Give it a try.

Try again.

Good. Are you a southpaw?

Yes, but the coach told me

to practice orthodox.

-You mean Minsoo?

-Yes.

Well, it is an advantage

to be a switch-hitter.

I heard you reported the fire

and carried Hyojoo out.

Um…

Are you okay?

Yes.

-Thanks.

-It was nothing.

- Keep up the good work.

- I will.

He's probably

having a tough time too.

He lives alone with his sick grandma,

and he used to get

into a lot of trouble at school.

Then Coach Yoon turned things around

by teaching him boxing

and allowed him to work at his restaurant.

He even won a gold medal

at the National Sports Festival.

He's got nice form.

Coach Yoon told me

that he reminds him of you

when you were young.

Hey, Joongryeok!

What are you doing here?

Can't you see?

I'm working on a construction site.

You little…

Excuse me. We'd like a bottle of soju.

No, we don't need it.

What's the matter?

Your match is coming up.

You shouldn't be drinking.

Don't tell me you're smoking too.

That's a no-no.

What's the big deal?

You're ready to join the national team.

I don't care. I need money.

Gosh, you're as stubborn as a mule.

Jeez, that's spicy!

Have some rice.

Use this to pay

your father's hospital bills.

I received my severance pay in advance.

I can't accept it, knowing your situation.

And I won't be able to pay you back.

You don't have to.

Just join the national team.

Win a gold medal in the Olympics

and give it to me. That's all I want.

Do you think

I belong on the national team?

To be honest, not at all.

You're inexperienced

and impatient,

and then there's your looks.

What's wrong with my looks?

Still, you've got sharp eyes.

Boxing is all about having sharp eyes.

I'm making a bet.

I'm putting everything I have on you.

I'm going all in!

So trust me

and give it another try.

You still have one shot in you.

Excuse me.

You just drank from my bottle.

-Is it yours?

-Yes.

Sorry.

The towel's mine too.

-Is it?

-Yes.

Sorry.

Hey, shouldn't you lose some weight?

Get moving. Jump rope.

Start!

You've got to be kidding me.

Try again!

-Goodness me.

-Hey.

- What are the kids doing?

- They're asleep. It's late.

-Did you eat?

-I did.

Okay.

Don't turn your socks inside out.

I'm not.

Don't enter the kids' room

and wake them up.

I get it. Go back to bed.

You know

it's Doona's birthday soon, right?

Is it?

Of course, I know that.

She wants a Tyrannosaurus rex.

It's the only one missing from the set.

"I look forward to meeting you, T-Rex!"

A Tyrannosaurus rex.

I'll make sure to get it for her.

-All right.

-Go back to bed.

-Wash up.

-I will. Good night.

Come out.

Isn't that the owner of the chicken place?

From Lucky Chicken.

Right, right?

You're right. It looks a lot like him.

Right, right?

Lucky Chicken?

Across from the chicken place

that burned down,

there's another chicken spot

called Lucky Chicken.

Right, right?

The owners never got along.

Lucky Chicken accused One Shot Chicken,

or whatever it's called,

of stealing all their customers.

Right, right?

I told you.

- Right, right?

- Right, right.

Right, right.

Right, right?

I told you.

Twin Restaurant

-Is this her?

-Yes.

Are you Ms. Nam Jiwon?

No, I'm not.

Do you go to this school?

-Yes.

-I'm sorry.

Let's go. Follow me.

Pull yourself together.

She said she was at the library,

but she won't reply.

Where could she be? Call her again.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

This is the Songwon Police.

We talked this morning.

-Okay.

-We're at the library right now.

Okay.

There she is.

-Are you Ms. Nam Jiwon?

-Yes.

We're the officers that contacted you.

-Okay.

-We have a few questions.

Could we talk outside for a moment?

I have exams today.

I have to go take them soon.

It'll only take a minute.

A minute?

Look, please be quiet.

Hello?

Lucky Chicken

Isn't that oil?

We're not open yet.

Uh…

I'm from the Songwon Police.

Are you aware of the recent fire?

My goodness.

With all those damn fire trucks,

how could I not know about it?

Uh

Okay.

I have a few questions.

It's not my restaurant

that caught on fire.

What the hell would I know?

Where were you when the fire started?

Why?

Are you suspecting me?

No. This is just a routine investigation.

Go bother the victim instead.

Leave me alone, goddammit.

Look.

I thought you ran a chicken joint.

What?

Why are you swearing like a sailor?

Mind your language

unless this is some sailor's tavern.

Or should I match your attitude?

Is that what you want?

No, ma'am.

I apologize for my rudeness.

And this really is a chicken joint.

I'd like…

…to apologize too.

This is a library!

Is someone being noisy?

A birthday party?

It wasn't exactly a party.

Since Hyojoo worked the late shift,

we went to pick her up.

How long were you with her?

We met pretty late,

so by the time we got to the karaoke,

it was a little past 1 a.m.

Oh.

And you stayed there for about an hour?

Yes.

Did you all go home after that?

They were all going to sleep over

at my place,

but Hyojoo said she'd study a bit more

at her dad's restaurant

and hit the library in the morning.

At her dad's restaurant?

Look, if you need to talk, go outside.

I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't cut it. Just go outside.

Look.

We're carrying out our duties right now.

Exactly!

Carry out your duties all you want,

but go outside first!

Who's being noisy now?

What's with him?

Lower your voice, please.

I'm sorry.

So she slept at the restaurant?

Was there anything unusual?

No.

For goodness' sake!

All that studying

must've driven him crazy.

He's so noisy.

Thank you.

I hope you'll ace your exams.

You've got this!

Student ID Card

Yoon Hyojoo

Evidence

Cell phone

You want to check her cell phone?

Oh.

Yes, Ms. Jung.

-But it's badly damaged.

-Mm-hmm.

I'm restoring data from her cloud backup.

Cloud what?

You don't know what that is?

Isn't that a beer…

What is it?

Since her devices

were connected to the cloud,

we can transfer data

from her cell phone to this device.

At least up to the latest backup.

Hold on. Let me check her calendar.

Jiwon's birthday party

How can I search the internet?

-There you go. One step at a time.

-Thanks.

Self-defense weapons

Reporting a stalker

Fortunately,

the fire started after business hours,

but the owner's daughter

happened to be here.

If this was arson,

the culprit must've known the passcode.

There must only be a handful of people

who know the passcode,

including the owner's daughter.

Seoul Busters

Next time on Seoul Busters.

Let's summon

all the suspects first.

Four arson suspects

are summoned to the daycare center.

I'm sure

this stalker's the culprit.

There you have it.

Nam Junghyun is singled out

as the prime suspect.

We don't know for sure yet.

Meanwhile,

Junghwan searches for a T-Rex.

-Hey, Donggoo! Donggoo!

-Cool, right?

Can you please give me that T-Rex?

I don't want to.

Will Junghwan manage

to receive the T-Rex from me?

Ah!

Back at the Violent Crimes Team.

I think the culprit is…

Nam Junghyun!

I know you're here, you b*stard!

I think you should

leave this case to us.

Why are you doing this?

That's what I should be asking you.

There is always only one truth!

To be continued…
