Presented by Cinema Service in association with SBS
Korea's Police Force is for the people.
I'm a cop.
Making people's lives comfortable and happy
is the Police Force's damn responsibility.
With 150,000 officers across the nation,
each cop works hard for the safety of every 300 citizens.
A cop's life is like putting out a fire with little water.
While you draw more water,
the fire gets big like before.
They search and prevent crimes.
As soon as they wake up, they arrest gangsters and thieves,
but the crimes repeat tirelessly like that endless fire.
Feeling no fear in the midst of danger,
cops get as many injuries and scars as the medals they receive.
Fuck! Twelve years has passed since I became a cop,
but nothing has changed during those years.
Still underpaid, and still can't go home.
A good husband to a wife,
and a good father to his kids are things they never heard.
Even tonight, they're up all night in or out of the station.
Loyal to the country and people,
preserve peace and order, and serve the citizens.
As long as they don't die or go dumb,
every cop must do these things.
I'm the same as them. That is, I'm a cop, too.
But...
I don't do any of those things.

Aren't you hot, boy? Why do you always wear that?
Don't ask.
It's for winter, not summer.
No, it's for every season.
Stop acting poor and take it off.
Looking at you makes me hot.
You may feel hot, but a former boxer never does.
Sons of a bitch! Turn the car, damn it!
Are you crazy?
You beat them bad, and now you want to kill them?
They had enough.
The way I see it, they're worst off than you.
Their drugs are gone, they got beat up bad,
Think gangsters can't sue us?
If those guys want to sue us, we can't even settle it.
Keep that in mind.
Chul-joong, there's this poem called "When I bit the sky."
I get it now, so stop it.
"When I bit the sky", by Jung Hyun-jong. I said stop it.
"When I bit the sky, it started to rain."
"When I bit the rain, I became wet."
What the hell does that mean?
It means a person should live rationally.
That's the way of life.
Just look at the bag, and forget about it.
Hello? Yes, Captain. What is it?
What, sir? Please, say it again.
This is serious.
Detective Song, inspectors are here. I think they're on to us.
I'm serious. Anyway, come back fast.
What? I'm telling you. They checked our whole department.
Hey! I have to take the wrap. So what I should do?
Damn it. You know my daughter's getting married soon.
What is it? Lotte lost the game?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Shit, sometimes you win and lose some.
Honey. I'm so sorry.
Damn lighter.
Don't fool around.
Haeng-ki!
Hey! Haeng-ki!
You fucking bastard!
Get up!
You can't die, you son of a bitch!
You can't die!
Fuck! Fuck!!!
You fucking idiot.
Why'd you kill yourself?
Does dying solve anything, asshole?
You son of a bitch.
You fucking asshole! Fucker!
Asshole!
Public Enemy
Yes, yes, you bitch. Do it harder.
Want me to lick it? Want me to suck it?
You fucking bitch.
Daddy!
Oh, my sleepyhead is up early.
Come here! Up you go.
Se-jin, what will you be when you grow up?
A great man like dad.
That's right! Watch your head.
Come on.
Kiss.
Any messages?
The third quarter report from Yujin branch arrived.
Also.
The late president's family and workers of Sungbo firm
called about the investment withdrawal.
What?
The family called to make a simple protest,
but the workers mentioned a lawsuit.
Funny people. Thank you.
Yeah, nobody's here!
Three little pigs. One is a fat cop.
The other is an ass and the third is shit.
Here comes the pigs. Our economy,
fucking pigs, and crime is a problem!
Shut up!
Who's the wise ass?
Was it you?
Yeah.
What's your problem? You crazy?
This is a public place, you idiot.
Want to die in a public place?
Better behave.
No money, I beat them. Don't listen to me, I beat them.
His face upsets me, I beat him.
There's about a stadium full
of guys who got beaten by me.
You see, I'm a little tired. It's your lucky day.
So just bathe and leave.
Fuck! What kind of cock-a-doodle crap is that?
What does that mean?
What's with it to you?
So what does it mean?
Cock-a-doodle crap?
You outta know. Whether it's an insult or not, be clear.
Otherwise, people will laugh at you. Got it?
Yes, sir.
Be careful from now on.
Yes, sir.
Detective Kang Chul-joong.
We're with Internal Affairs, so come with us.
After I get scrubbed first. Go on.
Yes, sir.
Detective Kang Chul-joong.
Specially recruited as an Asian Games silver medalist.
A single father,
supporting two daughters and your mother, right?
Yeah.
- Know Song Haeng-ki, right? - Yeah.
- He died. - I heard.
Know why?
He killed himself when we started our inspection.
Where were you on that day?
I'm not too sure.
Kang Chul-joong! Think that makes sense?
You were his partner.
We're searching your house at this moment.
If you're hiding anything, we'll find it eventually.
Then go ahead, and see if you do.
Where were you, when he let go Lee Bong-chool for money?
How long ago?
April of last year.
I have a poor memory, so I don't recall.
What's with you?
If we check your account, we can find everything.
Shit, do whatever pleases you.
What are you waiting for?
Kang Chul-joong!
Know where you are now?
Cops come here like they are, but they leave without a badge.
Oh, yeah? Then fight me for it.
Fine. Let's take it slow, okay? Since we have lots of time.
Ever see a bastard like him?
He talks like a pea brain, but there's nothing on him.
- Only 270 won in his account. - You're right.
Even if he was clean for 12 years,
shouldn't he have at least 270 million won?
Everyone thinks
"well, I'll save up for a year"!
But how could that bastard have nothing?
Let's eat something first.
Release that bastard. Someday, we'll get him right.
July 18, 13:23 pm. Kang Chul-joong, case file 1.
Kang Chul-joong. Not guilty for now.
- Hey, girls! - Daddy!
This for grandma, and these are for you.
Thank you!
- Remember to share. - Grandma!
You good-for-nothing!
Want to make your kids orphans?
You're never home.
Can't tell if you're a policeman or a gangster.
I'm not in the wrong room, right?
This place is a dump, you bastards.
Know what word I hate the most?
Freedom. There isn't any for a detective.
One day, the phone rings. Well, it's okay to miss a call.
But a detective never misses it!
It's neglecting your job.
Open your drawers.
What are you all waiting for?
Nice. I see you have a lot of hobbies.
A bunch of worthless cops.
Call yourself a detective? Do you?
What? Are you testing me?
I'm not, but this is...
How old are you?
Fifty-five.
What?
Sorry.
- That's alright. - What if it isn't?
Whose desk is that?
Detective Kang.
Detective Kang? You mean Kang Chul-joong.
Where's that bastard now?
Open it.
This bastard must really want to die.
Come on, let me go of me.
I got some stuff to sell.
I don't do that anymore. Plus, it's too hot.
I see about 40 needle marks. Your moth has gotten big.
It's a butterfly, not a moth.
Moth, my ass. Go to do it or not?
Ten percent.
Only five, asshole.
Shit, you're so stingy.
How many bones are in a head?
Twenty three.
Want me to make it 230 pieces?
Okay, let's see the stuff first.
Just worry about making a call, asshole.
Shit, I told you not to call.
Think I'm calling cause I want to, asshole?
What's up?
What else? Isn't it obvious, idiot?
I got some stuff, and it's big. 3 kilos.
It's top quality, and you have to get rid of it fast.
What? Of course, it's a problem. Hold on.
He said he can't now.
If not, tell him he'll die.
If you don't, he said you'll die. That's right.
What? Crackdown? Think you're some pharmacist?
That always happens, idiot. What?
He said he can't now cause of the crackdowns.
Fuck, tell him I'm a cop, so it's okay.
He said: "Fuck, I'm a cop, so it's okay." What?
He said to put you on.
Hello?
Fuck you!
What the fuck did you say?
Hey, asshole!
Wait till I catch him.
I'll smash his head into pieces.
Fucking assholes.
Keep in touch.
Are you high?
Call me.
For all I care, I'm quitting this business.
I said call me!
How can that asshole be a cop?
That's all for this meeting.
Good work everyone.
Mr. Cho.
Can we have a talk?
Seen the news?
News?
Sungbo president's suicide.
The market is rough,
so we can't help his death.
But the timing was too early.
If you had waited to bail out,
you could've prevented the worst.
Don't you think?
Well. There's a timing that's hard to explain.
To you, it's something that you'll never understand.
Considering the facts,
they had a week grace period before the bankruptcy.
What do you think about that?
Sungbo's president might've not killed himself.
So what are you getting at?
You have to take responsibility for it.
A fund manager takes responsibility for his actions
only when the investors suffer any damage.
In a week, the investors might've lost a few chances.
Like you always do to them.
Mr. Cho!
Know what they say about you in this business?
They say you need discipline.
Know what that means, right?
Keep this in mind. Funding isn't gambling.
Fuck! Mother Fucker!
Rotten asshole.
Why don't you watch where you're going?
Get it repaired first, and I'll cover it.
Hey!
Where did you learn how to drive?
What? Did I say something wrong?
If you cause an accident, you have to apologize!
Where are your manners, boy?
My insurance will cover it, so just get it repaired.
Hey, you're lucky today. My neck feels strange.
Why is it so hot today?
July 20, 9:23 am. Kang Chul-joong, case file 5.
Kang Chul-joong isn't here yet.
Who the hell are you?
From Internal Affairs.
So?
I'm investigating Kang Chul-joong.
Go! Go, you bastard!
Unless you have a warrant, go away!
In the fifth episode
of "Chief Inspector,"
there's a corrupt cop.
The corrupt cop's superior protects him.
Then all of them are behind bars for fraudulence.
Don't interfere,
or you'll be a suspect, too.
Just because of one damn bastard.
Anyway, who inspects inspectors like you?
What?
Go over to other departments instead.
Hey!
Homicide detectives have enough shit to deal with.
They put their lives at stake!
So they can accept some bribes, asshole.
The people's police shouldn't.
Homicide can, you asshole!
Want to test me out, huh?
You're obstructing my duties.
Obstructing your duties?
Hey asshole, what you're doing now
is obstructing duties.
Got it? Go! Go! Go!
Bastard ruined my morning.
You're the famous detective Kang of Kang district police?
Yes.
Always idiots who can't arrest criminals
get investigated.
Fine.
Let's say you were busy before for getting inspected.
But why didn't you come yesterday, dickhead?
I was a little tired.
Are you the Police Chief?
Come and go whenever you want, asshole?
What?
Staring at me? Be honest, you hate being a cop, right?
Maybe.
Get out.
Get out now! Go catch anybody.
Listen, asshole.
Until you do, don't even dream of coming back!
Damn it.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Thanks.
Hello, detective Kang.
Detective, my ass. Call me sir, you idiot.
Who's bothering you the most lately?
What?
Except me, asshole.
I'm not sure.
A person gets three chances during his life.
I think you met
one of those chances today.
If someone's bothering you, be honest and tell me. Who is?
Come on.
It's okay to tell me, idiot.
But you know already.
Know what, you bastard?
Even if I'm not loyal to them anymore, I'm a man who...
What loyalty, asshole? Tell me now.
What's wrong with you?
Watch it.
Okay, now I get it.
You should've told me before.
Don't you get what's going on? Come here.
Shit, how much more do you want?
You, asshole. Come here!
So what are you saying?
That I'm going to rob kids of their money?
Oh gosh, what should I do?
My name is Lee An-soo. But people call me Mr. Math.
But they die if they call me that.
Why?
Cause I'm a bastard.
I was good at counting since I was a kid. Especially money.
But a man who runs a business can't count?
I'll explain again, so listen carefully.
The retail price of a beer sold at 5,000 won is 1,900 won.
Wholesale price is 1,203 won.
Look at me. Look!
Am I some 80's gangster?
This is advice from an experienced businessman.
You started your business to make money, right?
No, it's not just that. This is a "cola club."
We can't sell beer here.
This is frustrating. You don't even know the basics.
A karaoke that sells liquor
makes 31/2 times more. Know why?
Hey, don't come this way.
Hey, boy. Is Mr. Math here?
Who the hell are you?
Me? Detective Kang of Kang district police.
So what?
Don't know me, huh?
I got a really bad temper.
I don't bring a bastard who bug me to the station.
Then what do you do?
I kill him.
If he uses his fist, I kill him with my fist.
If he uses a knife, I kill him with a knife.
Sometimes a bastard like you who blabs his mouth.
Ah!
I kill him with my mouth.
Who are you?
Let me ask you something. Know where Mr. Math is?
Want to die?
What?
Your zipper is open.
Fuck. Who the hell are you?
Better be scared now.
I bought a watermelon on my way home,
but I forgot that I didn't have a knife.
Know why?
I'm a cop, and a thief broke into my house.
But my wife got stabbed to death because she resisted.
So I hate knives. Put it away.
Job.
Distribution business.
Violence, blackmailing, resisting arrest.
Job.
Distribution business.
- Job. - Gangster.
Ga...
...ng...
...ster.
Hello, sir.
Salute.
Hi. Where is everyone?
The Captain and everyone went
to investigate a robbery scene.
A robbery?
It's the most troublesome case in our district.
We got three calls in just one month,
and the Captain is furious cause there's no lead yet.
Detective Kim.
Yes?
Go outside.
Yes?
It's okay.
Want to serve two years for disrupting peace and blackmail?
Or six months for theft?
Let's go with theft.
Put it on your left chest.
Higher. To the right.
That's too much. Good. Smile.
One more.
Good job, Chul-joong. I told you that you can do it.
You should work if you need money.
So you opened the door with this, right?
Yes.
What? This is a Phillips screwdriver.
You bastard.
Who robs a house with a Phillips screwdriver?
You're trying to trick us
at your trial, aren't you?
Hold this instead. Take it.
Take the picture again.
This is unfair.
Sir, the branch president is here.
Really?
Hello, sir.
Busy?
No, sir.
Congratulations.
What do you mean?
Keeping it a secret from me too?
Pardon?
Have a seat.
Yes, sir.
Last night,
Yujin company seems to be getting proposals.
No official announcement yet,
but seeing they were mostly from the U.S.,
it must be about Mildron.
I think it got the FDA's approval.
Is that so? Great news.
Anyway, good work, Mr. Cho.
Thank you, sir.
Anyhow, control the inflow of capital into Yujin,
starting with the ones from the U.S.
Yes, I understand, sir.
I heard you invested into that company.
How much was it?
About 2 billion won.
2 billion won? That's amazing.
You'll easily make 30 or 40 billion won.
Answer it.
Excuse me.
Hello?
It's me. Is it ready?
What?
I'm asking if the money we talked about is ready.
Gyu-hwan!
Pardon? Who's calling?
Gyu-hwan. It's your father!
Sir, it's Cho Gyu-hwan.
Please, call me right away.
I'll call you again as well. Bye.
What nonsense are you saying at this point?
It's Jahye Orphanage, with fifty kids living there.
But that orphanage is getting shut down.
If so, the children will have nowhere to go.
So I decided to save the orphanage.
So you want to take back the money for something useless?
How could you say such a stupid thing?
Father. Please, think it over.
Only after a few months,
the money lent in your name will multiply 10 or 20 times.
I don't need it.
What?
I said I don't need it.
Why can't you understand?
In a few months,
you can buy 10 or 20 orphanages!
Fine. Like you said, the money may multiply that much.
But what about those kids during that time?
Gyu-hwan. Don't you get it?
This is much more important to me than making money.
Please, reconsider, okay?
I already signed the contract.
I'm paying them this weekend.
Are you really wasting the money on that useless stuff?
Then do what you want.
Gyu-hwan. Gyu-hwan!
You may not understand now, but someday you will.
That there's more to things than just money.
What a generous man. Charity?
Charity to care for unknown kids, but to kill his son?
How dare you!
Gyu-hwan.
Let go of me.
Gyu-hwan. Gyu-hwan! Gyu-hwan!!!
By the way,
why dig up an old unsolved case now?
I don't know, asshole.
Does a soldier need a reason to dig dirt?
Detective Lee.
How old is your kid?
Two-years old.
Miss him?
Of course.
Did you marry for love?
It was arranged.
Miss your wife?
Of course.
Who do you miss more?
Well...
Now I guess...
How can you... here?
Huck!
Don't you fart, asshole?
Man, this is overdoing it.
Why can't you fall asleep?
Did Gyu-hwan call?
No, he didn't.
Do you think what I'm doing
to Gyu-hwan is wrong?
What are you talking about? You made the right decision.
Don't worry and do what you want.
I believe in you.
- Thank you for understanding. - No need to thank me.
Didn't you lock the door?
I think I did.
Who's there?
Is someone here?
Gyu-hwan!
Honey. Honey!
Who's there?
Hi... I'm... a cop.
So?
I have to take... ...a dump.
Crazy bastard!
Screw you.
Heaven helps those who help themselves.
Damn it.
Where's my little kitty? Damn it. Where did you go, kitty?
Damn it.
Hey, raincoat! Freeze!
Raincoat, can't you hear me?
The rain pisses me off, and I got shit on my hand.
You're dead, asshole.
Asshole, this is your unlucky day.
Better call your girlfriend.
Say you'll meet her in the next world.
What the...
You son of a bitch.
Fuck.
My eye!
Hey! Go wash it or throw it away.
It smells awful.
Don't have the time and money.
Detective Kang, what's that?
Can't you see it's a scar?
Hey, let me see it. Let me see! It's stitched up. How many?
Thirty.
Let a cop get beaten, idiot?
I slipped and fell.
How can you slip, and get thirty stitches?
Fuck! I fucking slipped hard.
What did you say?
Sorry, Captain.
Why?
I'll solve that old unsolved case.
What?
I'm going undercover from today.
The rain lowered the heat last night,
but the scorching heat continues today.
Humidity is at its peak,
so temperatures may be the highest for this year.
The temperature in Seoul is already over 35°C.
If it continues to reach over 37°C,
it's highly likely that today could be the hottest this year.
The humidity is very high, so a discomfort index will be...
Mister.
Mister!
What are you doing?
How much is this?
500 won.
If I catch you, you're dead.
Hello? Oh, hi. I kept calling,
but they're not answering.
Looks like they went out.
You know they don't carry cell phones.
I guess they went to an orphanage again. Okay.
Damn, it's hot.
I didn't open it yet, so I'm exchanging it.
Are you out of your mind?
How much did you pay before?
500 won, right? Know why it's 500 won?
For the shipping cost, storage fee, and freezer!
But you do what you want! No!
Take it back.
Give me a break.
Why should I?
Miss, I'm a cop!
A cop? If you're a cop, I'm the First Lady.
Don't cause any trouble! Go! Go!
Where's your husband?
Go!
Why you're so noisy! Damn it!
Fucking pardon?
Damn it!
Over one million unemployed.
You better try harder, detective Nam.
Identify the bodies, and call the family.
Yes, sir.
Found anything?
Yeah. They were killed a week ago from multiple stabs.
But I can't find a single clue.
What a headache.
One week is enough for him
to go to Saipan on a tube.
Go out if you want to smoke, asshole!
Fuck, why does he pick on me?
If it was a damn week ago...
A week?
I said take pictures of each wound.
Fuck! So who's the damn criminal?
What the hell are you doing?
Is this bastard crazy?
Fuck!
Bastard scared me.
Is he the crazy nut on your team?
Yeah.
He scared me to death.
Never mind him, and keep working.
Watch out for the wound.
Fuck, this is his!
Give it here.
He killed them with this knife.
So give it to me. Don't hold it with your bare hand.
Right!
Come in.
22 stab wounds on Cho Myung-chul's body.
12 on Kim Young-soon. So 34 total.
And the stab wounds match the knife.
Yeah? Found anything else?
We found a fingerprint on the blade.
Good then. Now we'll just catch him. Identified him, right?
Yes, but it's not the criminal's.
It's a detective's fingerprint.
Is he really a detective?
Yes, sir.
Anything else?
Right, there's...
In the file...
What's this?
Yes, it's feces.
You mean it's shit?
Yes, sir.
Shit, I see. Shit.
So why do you think he did that?
What was in his mind then?
Using common sense. Why a detective?
Why put his shit on a crucial piece of evidence?
Doesn't it seem like an act of discontent for the Police Force?
Fuck, isn't this going too far?
Why did he stain evidence with shit, damn it?
Kang Chul-joong!
Where are you going?
Outside.
Hey. The NISI sent their results.
The knife you found was the crime weapon.
Where did you find it?
Hey.
How about it?
I mean this murder case.
It was you who found the clue,
so how about taking the case?
Yes, sir.
But it's not a personal grudge.
Then why are you laughing?
It's nothing at all.
Okay, go ahead.
Yes, sir.
Strange bastard.
Damn it.
Your fingernail's broken.
Must've happened while cutting your nails.
Right. Yes.
One moment.
Then I'll ask you a few simple questions.
Did your parents
fight with someone recently?
Because of money perhaps?
No.
Did they have any enemies close to them?
They're not that kind of people.
I know it was hard, so thank you for your troubles.
Well, I hope you catch him.
It's better to fight
on the scene than doing this.
Ever seen a crying man shake his legs?
He didn't cry cause of grief.
Check his financial records.
Lee Yong-man is right.
And he's been living here for about a month.
Good.
Let's hypothesize for once.
Hypothesize?
Think it's Lee Yong-man?
He's been clean for a while.
Didn't you see those corpses?
It was same way he killed Yang Bok-nam.
I'm positive.
A thug with his own territory
wouldn't go and commit murder.
So it's hard to see that
the victim died because of this.
That makes sense.
Speaking of the devil.
Let's stop hypothesizing... We can ask him after the arrest.
Yong-man!
You asshole!
Yes, I killed Boss Bok-nam when I was young,
but I don't know who Boss Cho Myung-chul is.
So where were you that day?
Do you know "Magic"?
"Magic"?
Man, this is humiliating.
You know, women get "Magic" once a month.
But my chick's day was that day.
So I went to buy "Magic" for her.
Go ask the pharmacy. "Magic."
