Officer Nam, you're something.You're doing an interview ?
Ah no, sunbaenim... Take care.(sunbaenim - older coworker)
Wait. Right here?
I am Detective Nam Gun Wook from Dobok Police Station, Violent Crimes Division 2.
I am 34.
I handle many of the high-profile cases in Dobok that involve serious crimes.
This is the case that happened 6 months ago in the north side of Seoul.
On rainy days, a suspect grabbed any women walking in the streets.
I’m staking out the area where he has committed his crimes repeatedly.
It look like a serial murder. Aren't you afraid?
Have you ever looked at it this way?
That there may be a chance I would
never see my family again.
Oh, there...
That is a knife, right?
Damn it!
When you’re a detective, you run across bastards like this now and then.
This is the guy I'm betting my life on catching.
He is not just some insignificant trash.
Right now I see my son's face in my mind.My wife's face...
I may never see them again.
Stop there, you bastard!
Some officers can't really afford to put their lives on the line in this job.
If we die,
who will protect our families?
Who will protect them?
Detective Nam!
Detective Nam ! Detective Nam !
Officer Nam of the Dobok Police Department lost his life to a criminal.
This news gave the President a huge shock.
The officer was known for his dedication to bringing criminals to justice.
He had an unusual sense of responsibility towards protecting citizens.
Condolences were expressed from all levels of society.
In the face of increasingly shrewd and intelligent violent offenders, some have expressed the urgent need to come up with a countermeasure.
Grandpa.
Min Joon.
Don't live like your dad.
Understand?
Oh Gu Tak... Where is that guy now?
Oh Gu Tak? That mad dog? Why are you asking about him suddenly?
Bad Guys
- Episode 1 -
The lesson learned from the Dogok Killer case is this.
Our police force is ill-equipped to handle psychotic criminals.
Most officers in the 100,000-strong force didn’t join to serve and protect citizens.
They just want a steady job,
because it offers a stable paycheck.
Unfortunately, this is the current reality of our nation’s police force.
Then, what should be done?
According to your argument, the police force is currently unable to arrest those violent criminals.
I am asking for an alternative.
Citizens need to be safe from violence, rape, murder and other serious crimes.
Yes. That's right. You're right.
If there is an alternative, please tell us about it, Inspector Yoo Mi Young.
An alternative. If we're talking about alternative...
Where are you staying these days?
Drink some soup at least. You aren't young anymore.
Live while thinking about your health.
Save those words for your wife. You don't care about me.
Why did you call me?
Would you like to be reinstated?
It's not Dog Days. Why is this son-of-a-bitch looking for me?(Dog Days: hottest days of the summer)
You know my son, right? Geon Uk. He...
What about him? Did his wife leave him?
Other people's children are unwilling to follow in their father's footsteps.
but my Geon Uk wasn't like that.
He always said, "Just like my father, I must succeed and be a remarkable police officer."
A few days ago, he got killed on duty.
He was stabbed with a knife and died.
He departed before me.
That little brat...
So you want to send a mad dog like me
to help you catch the guy who stabbed your son to death?
Catch that guy alive and kicking, and bring him to me.
If I bring him back, are you planning to personally take care of him?
If you can solve this case,
I'll help you
get all the anger out of your heart.
If you beat a good person, it is violence.
But if you beat a bad guy, then it is justice.
I heard that Oh Gu Tak's nickname is Mad Dog.
He has a tendency of using excessive force.
Just to catch one bad guy he certainly won't discriminate
between the enemy and us based on status.
He's the first to show his teeth. He'd rather act first, then talk later.
That's why he's known as the Mad Dog.
The bribes taken by police officers and public officials from the gangsters were discovered by Oh Gu Tak.
He's exposed several of them.
He's not a kid in his puberty.
He knows how to handle his business.
Just give him some time. It won't take him long to solve this case.
If you can solve this case,
I'll help you
get all the anger out of your heart.
What? What?!
Why?
If you beat a good person, it is violence.
But if you beat a bad guy, then it is justice.
What? What?!
No, nothing.
Why are you like this?
Where did this bastard come from?
Just coming out of nowhere, you asshole--
Sunbaenim, stop now. If you continue like this you'll really kill him!
Let's get together 3 or 4 crazy dogs.
How many days do you think it took for Dong-Bang gangs to take over Seoul's underworld two years ago?
25 days.They took over one district a day.
From Guro to Nowon, one after the other.
This is the guy behind it.Park Woong Chul.
Just when the Dong Bang Faction had gotten hold of Seoul's underworld, he was arrested and imprisoned. He's serving a 28 years sentence.
He is currently locked up in Daejeon Prison.
Who was it?
What?
The bastard who bruised your face, who was it?
How is he doing? Does he have any intention to repent?
What repent? Do you think this is a movie?
Are you going to approve his release?
Let me listen to what he said first. Who's next?
Jung Tae Soo. Contract killer.
That contact killer Jung Tae Soo.
We don't know who, where and how he murdered someone.
We know nothing about his past.
Then why is he even in jail?
Because of one murder.
He surrendered.
I heard he was wearing clothes stained with his victim's blood when he went to the police station and turned himself in.
Crazy guy.
He got a 22 years sentence.He's locked up in Jeonju prison now.
Who is the last guy?
This guy, Chief, you surely know.
He is the culprit from the Hwa Hyeong Dong case 2 years ago.
Lee Jung Moon?
He had a documented IQ of 165 at the age of 12 years old. He is this country's youngest member of Mensa International.
He's even the youngest person to attain a PhD in Mathematics.
Do you know what his most shocking title is?
The youngest serial killer.
From December 2011 to August 2012,
Lee Jung Moon murdered 15 people in total.
But what did you find at the crime scene? Fingerprints? None.
Strands of hair? None.
Footprints? Saliva? Of course, none.
In a nutshell, there's nothing left.
When that kid Lee Jung Moon killed someone.
There's only one thing. The victim's corpse.
Is he a psychopath?
Do you know the PCL-R ?
The Psychopathy Checklist. The highest score is 40. He scored 38.
Why must it be this kind of people?
No, I should call them beasts instead.
Park Woong Chul has power; Jung Tae Soo has skills, Lee Jung Moon has intelligence.
Mix those together right and there isn't a criminal under the sun they couldn't catch.
These beasts, with the right incentive,
will be very obedient.
I believe that the risk is very high.
Then, "Help the police catch the criminals they can't catch".
Isn't that what you said when you were on television?
But even so... I didn't say anything about this type of method.
To catch a beast using a team of beasts.
Give that to me.
Why?
You don't like to get dirty?
Excuse me?
It looks filthy, so you don't want to touch it.
You don't want to touch it, so you can't eat it.
Isn't that right?
What do you mean?
Without the right bait, you can’t catch fish.
I'll take care of it. Just have them released.
Ministry of Justice - Emergency Transport
Where are we going now?
I'm not being transferred?
Did you glue your mouths shut?Assholes. When people are asking you something you have to answer!
I memorized your face. You're gonna get it later.
Why are you drinking so much? And without snacks too.
The Commissioner told me this.
You are the fish hook. Park Woong Chul, Jung Tae Soo, and Lee Jung Moon are the worms.
He really has a way with words!
I should let you put the worms on properly and later after they get the fish they would return to you, I guess.
I'll rely on you in the future then.
Why shake hands? That's awkward. What if you pull me and I fall?
No, thank you.
What are you doing? You can't possibly be going to sleep?
Do you expect me to play a hand clapping game while we wait for them?
Wake me up when they get here.
Also, don’t expect me to take orders from you because of your rank.
Those bastards in higher positions looked down on me and paid dearly.
Put this on.
Why are you giving me clothes? Are you going to dress me like a citizen and quietly bury me?
You bastard, I'm asking you something. Why are you giving me clothes?
You're being discharged.
I'm not a soldier. What discharge?
I told you to change, so just change, bastard.
I was just asking. Why did you get mad?
Don't complain to me. Even if it isn't for you,
I drive myself crazy while living.
Everyone should laugh once in a while. Be happy, okay?
All right, I will change my clothes then, Officer.
Ministry of Justice - Emergency Transport.
Who are you?
And who are you?
Didn't an elder ask you first? You idiot.
Don't lift your useless arms carelessly... or you could die.
Useless arms?
Here. I'm lifting my useless arms up, now what?
Do you want a beating from your hyung?
- Where did you come from, jerk--- That's enough.
Who are you, fine lady?
If you're looking for an fine lady, go to a tea house.I'm Police Inspector Yoo Mi Young.
From now on, you'll be under my watch.
There's one more who seems to be coming a little late. Let's get started.
Follow me.
How cocky. She sure lacks discipline. Really funny.
Please sit down.
Let's start.
What you see here is 12 month's worth of information about the serial murder case on the North side of Seoul.
So far, there are 8 victims.
Slowly take a good look at it.
Why are you showing us this?
Why else?
You're all going to catch him.
Ah really... I nearly pissed on myself laughing.
This lady must be playing a joke on us. Are you bored?
You think you’re a hotshot since you got a police badge, huh?
Hey, gangster.
Sit down if you don't want to get hurt.
Let oppa love you a bit. Come on.
Listen to what she has to say first.
Stop acting like an idiot.
This punk has been annoying me for a while.
Son of a bitch.
Stop it already!
Why stop?
It's just about to become interesting.
Carry on please.
Listen while you fight.
If one of you manage to catch the killer,
his prison sentence will be reduced by 5 years.
This was what you wanted to say, right?
Then you should have just said it.
They pretend not to pay attention, but they hear everything.
Right?
Also, not everyone will get their sentence reduced.
Only the one who catches the murderer will get it.
If Park Woong Cheol catches him,
then Jung Tae Soo, well...
After all, we live in a competitive capitalist society. Please understand.
Are there any questions?
None? I'm all set. What's next, kid?
Ahjussi, what are you doing?
What? Keep going.
I will look for you later.
Who is this ahjussi?
He's going to be in charge of you with me. He's Detective Oh Goo Tak.
Ah, a detective?
Ahjussi, what the heck do you want with us? Do you have dementia?
Dementia?
Good one.
If I had to remember every day of my life, I would rather die than live.
Is what that person said true?
Yes.
If we catch that punk, you'll cut our sentence?
That's correct. Of course, there will be a few conditions.
What conditions?
Alcohol is prohibited. Women, prohibited.
Driving, prohibited. Using violence, prohibited. Using weapons, prohibited.
Prohibited, prohibited, prohibited.
Although everything is prohibited...
Just do whatever you want. All of it.
How can people live without a drink?
Detective Oh!
But...
there is one thing you need to do, even if you will not like it.
Inspector Yoo.
What is this? A watch? Do you want us to be punctual?
Way to humiliate a person.
Why, because this is an electronic watch?
It's an electronic ankle monitor.
Electronic ankle monitor?
An ankle monitor that sexual offenders have to wear?
Wow. Police officers in the Republic of Korea are really...
If somebody sees me with this on they'll think I am a rapist!
You're not in a position to be choosy right now.
Then do criminals have to give up all their rights?
This is really driving me crazy.
This seems a little difficult, like a trap.
We have human rights, too.
Condemn the crime, not the person.
But it's the person who did the crime.
How can you not hate the person?
Jung Tae Soo, you committed a crime. Murder.
For that, people detest you.
Park Woong Chul, you committed crimes.
Assault, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and so on.
So people condemned you for that.
You can sue for your basic human rights after you get released.
Right now, whether I give you fat noodles or thin noodles, you should just be grateful and eat them
if you don't want to die of starvation.
This ahjussi's non-stop chatter is really getting on my nerves.
Ahjussi...
Ahjussi, who are you?
I'm in charge of your fate. You should probably speak more politely.
If you act like this it will be troublesome.
You really want to die?
Park Woong Chul, you bastard.
Don't bark at me if you're not going to bite.
Otherwise, you might die from my bite first.
Ah, seriously.
Who the hell are you people?
Let's stop here.
Yes.
Detective Oh!
Prison Officer.
What?
Get out!
This damn kid, really...
It was like that.
Aigoo. You really worked hard.
He didn't take your money?
- No.- Are you hurt anywhere?
My body is not important. What is more important is that kid got away--
- Looks like your shoulder is seriously hurt.- I'm sorry for letting you down.
Let’s get you treated before it gets worse.
- I'm fine.- What do you mean you're fine?
It looks painful. Take him.
If you don't get it treated, you will suffer when you get older.
You got this scar from when he hit you?
Yes, that's right.
Normally, after being punched,
the injury will not be like that.
It’s more like a mini explosion.
So why is that a clean line? And you got hit with the toilet tank lid?
But how come there is no blood on your head?
Is your head
made of diamonds?
How much do you earn a month, asshole?
Maybe like $3,000 or $4,000 Won? Not very much.
My downstairs neighbor, Mrs. Jin,
my upstairs neighbor, Mr. Jong,
and next-door neighbor Mr. Hae
are all tax-paying citizens.
You get your salary from taxpayer’s dollars.
Taxpayers are paying for the clothes you wear and the food you eat.
The least you can do is tell the truth.
It’s a courtesy to the citizens of this country.
I didn't lie.
Your body language is saying otherwise, but you are lying me.
- What's the problem? - His mouth is telling the lies.
Right. His mouth is the problem.
Then we’ll just remove his mouth.
You have to tell the truth so that I can catch that bastard.
How did that bastard Lee Jung Moon escape?
This guy says he’ll tell the truth.
He says he’ll talk.
He punched me, so I have no choice...
When did I punch you? I was just horsing around. Oh, here’s your hat.
Why don’t you tell us now? How did Lee Jung Moon escape?
He said he had to use the restroom, so we stopped here.
I’m going to buy some cigarettes.
Okay.
Take care of your business.
Number two? Man...
There's not much time to hurry up and come out.
Scream.
What?
Yell.
Are you okay? Where is the bastard?
Keys.
It’s been exactly two hours since Lee Jung Moon has escaped.
We’re going to have to do a nationwide search. We need to get him first.
Who said we were helping? Your tone is pissing me off.
Why did you include me?
What are you saying? Are you going to help?
How many years did you get?
28 years.
You don't want to die in prison, right?
Then let’s risk our lives and catch him.
Do we get a similar deal if we catch this guy?
We’ll take off four years. But only to the person who catches him.
Okay. I got it. But it’s embarrassing to wear this.
Give it to me.
So if I wear this, I can beat up people, right?
As long as you don’t kill anyone.
I can’t guarantee that.
Think of this as a warm-up before the real thing.
Do you think you'll be able to catch Lee Jung Moon?
I’ll gratefully accept this order.
I’m sure Lee Jung Moon
will look for a woman named Yang Yoo Jin.
She could have been his last victim.
She was a critical witness in Lee Jung Moon’s case.
She’s the woman that Lee Jung Moon loved.
Just wait for me.
This is Lee Jung Moon?
Why? Do you know him?
So where is his girlfriend right now?
We don't know. She disappeared after he was sentenced to prison.
But... I know someone who might know where Yang Yoo Jin is.
Hey, I’ll give you an hour. Do you think you can get the information?
I’ll take care of finding her. Just clean up the mess we leave behind.
I tend to make a big mess.
Are you sure Lee Jung Moon is looking for Yang Yoo Jin?
How do you know so much about Lee Jung Moon’s case?
It seems like you’re hiding something from me.
Park Woong Chul and Jung Tae Soo. You can actually trust those two people, right?
Do you know what you need in order to live like a human being?
Desperation. No one is more desperate than they are.
Trust them.
You think they’re ready to live like human beings?
If you destroy your ankle monitor, you can escape.
Need help?
Where am I going to escape in this tiny ass country?
I’m going to take their offer.
You? Or me?
My turn.
We’re not open today.
Where’s Ma Sang Mun? Let me see your face!
You asshole. It’s the middle of the afternoon.
What are you looking at?
There was someone who worked here two years ago, Yang... uh...
Yang... what was it?
Yang Yoo Jin.
Oh yeah, Yang Yoo Jin, where is she right now?
Are you the police?
I don’t like cops either.
Me?
No. My turn.
I’m looking for someone.
You know Yang Yoo Jin, right?
Mr. Ma said you took her
because she couldn’t pay back a loan.
Hey.
Stop.
I’m not going to ask you twice.
Where is Yang Yoo Jin?
That took exactly 52 minutes.
Where did they say Yang Yoo Jin is?
They sold her to somewhere far.
I don’t know how much they sold her for.
Anyway, she's like Chunhyang. (Chun-hyang: a main character from a Korean romance folktale)
Or was it Simcheong?
Anyway, you know, the poor girl who was sold for a sack of rice.
So where is she? Where is she right now?
Busan Station
Yeonsan-dong.
Hey. Is this Galjong?
This is Woong Chul. Woong Chul.
Park Woong Chul, asshole! Who's Kim Woong Chul?
Yeah. No. I'm not out. I'm still in prison.
It's hard to explain. Anyway, I'll tell you later.
Are you still in Busan? Are you still running your ring in Busan?
You haven't changed it yet?
You found her? Hey, write down this address.
Yeonsan-dong. Hana Studios #203.
Her phone number. Quickly!
Who is it?
Here. Take it.
Who is it?
I’m here to check your gas meter.
The gas meter?
Hello?
Is this Yang Yoo Jin?
Yes.
This is Inspector Yoo Mi Young from Seoul PD.
You know Lee Jung Moon, right?
Lee Jung Moon right now is...
Hello? Yang Yoo Jin!
Lee Jung Moon is on his way there now! Are you listening?
Yang Yoo Jin! Hello?
Long time no see.
Hello? Yang Yoo Jin! Hello?
Hello? Hello? Yang Yoo Jin!
Yang Yoo Jin!
How... how did you find me?
How did you know where I live?
You...
Do you feel sorry towards me?
Why?
Me?
Why should I be sorry to you?
The detective in charge of my case,
he said you were sorry.
He said you were sorry.
Why?
Why would you be sorry?
I’m not sorry at all.
Don’t you remember? You tried to kill me!
Why would I feel sorry to the person who tried to kill me?
You know, I...
I really don’t remember
trying to kill you.
Hana
That seems to be the place.
Who do you think will catch him first?
It won’t be you.
It won’t be you either.
- Should we go?- Let’s go.
Let me catch that bastard. Okay?
- Go ahead.- This bastard...
What are you guys doing?
Lee Jung Moon?
Did your face get tanner?
He’s got a dark tan.
Did I really try to kill you?
Then do you remember killing
all those people you murdered?
You killed them, didn’t you? All of them.
You! You killed them!
You killed them all, asshole!
I’ll tell you one more time.
I really
don’t remember.
I didn’t kill them.
That’s why you’re a psycho!
Believe me.
I didn't kill anyone, Yoo Jin.
No,
I saw you.
I saw your face.
I saw everything.
Yoo Jin.
Happy is dead.
So, Yoo Jin...
I’m really sad.
You said this, didn’t you?
After you saw your dead parents, you wouldn't remember things that happened an hour ago.
And that the doctor said it’s possible because of your sudden trauma.
You went around killing people whenever you blacked out. You know that?
- It’s not true.- No, it’s true!
You killed those people, and you tried to kill me!
That’s you, Lee Jung Moon!
You killed your parents, didn’t you?
Did you kill them and then pretend not to remember?
I said it wasn’t me.
That asshole...
It’s Hana Apartment, not Hana Studios.
Hurry up and run!
Damn it...
This kid is dead.
I have a leg cramp. That’s all.
Remember this clearly.
Don’t you forget my face when you kill me.
Understand?
- This is her address.- Wait.
Okay.
Let’s die together.
Jung Moon!
Where are you?
We’re looking for you. Where are you?
If someone calls your name, you should respond, asshole!
What do you think you’re doing?
We can’t let the victim die when we’re trying to arrest the guy.
We need to save the girl.
Aigoo, little brother.
So here you are.
What? You were going to kill her?
If you kill her, you have no way out.
Getting shot hurts a lot.
You want to get shot before you go or just go ?
Okay, let’s shoot first.
Detective Oh!
Woong Chul! That’s Lee Jung Moon!
Get out of the way!
Nice to meet you, Jung Moon.
Don't worry too much about what happened earlier.
The situation was a little out of hand. So I fired without knowing it.
Jung Moon.
Don’t try to scoop out water in a flooded home.
Just swim.
Your chances of survival are higher that way.
You can get the details from her. If you’re interested, come to the restaurant.
I wanted to send you back to prison right now.
But Detective Oh said he needs you.
I don’t know understand why.
So I’m going to ask you this.
Do you want to try living like a human being?
I was running, and all of a sudden that bastard fell out from the sky.
Like Jack and the Beansprouts. In Aesop’s Fables.
No. It’s Jack and the Beanstalk.
Beanstalk? Are you sure?
I was sure it was beansprout.
- It’s beanstalk.- You stupid ass. Go learn something.
It’s not closing time yet, right?
Have a seat.
You can catch the next one.
Don’t waste your breath.
You are really one lucky bastard.
Why? You think I can’t drink because I’m a woman?
We’re going to suffer a bit.
We’re one team now.
I don’t expect good teamwork from you.
Looking out for your team members?
Bullshit.
I’m only expecting one thing from you.
To catch bad guys. The worst bunch.
Go and bite them like a pitbull and bring them in.
Do you know why mad dogs like us are scary?
When we bite, our targets die.
Let’s drink. Today we’re drinking.
Starting tomorrow, let us go find that son of a bitch
who's killing innocent women.
Understand?
Alright.
Why did you accept this case?
Why did you choose Park Woong Chul, Jung Tae Soon and Lee Jung Moon?
Before this case started, I did some research.
I discovered something interesting.
These three guys all went to jail around the same time.
Park Woong Chul incarcerated in June 2012.
Jung Tae Soo and Lee Jung Moon in July and September 2012.
And one more thing.
Detective Oh, you were suspended in August 2012.
- Is there some connection between these three people?- I told you not to act like my boss!
Bad Guys Preview
- Is that woman that important?- Are you okay?
You killed me, and that woman saved me.
Why would a criminal kill someone?
The smell of blood.
Help me! My mom is...- This is not your first time.
If I want to beat him, I have to kill a lot.
An impulsive crime on a rainy day and the smell of blood.
Survivors who are hidden in the picture are targeted again.
What’s with the sad faces?
Aren’t we going to catch this guy ?
Blood. One more murder and I’ll be in 1st place. There’s only one survivor left.
Protect that woman. No need to hide from her.
I never considered hiding.
Where did the bastard go?
I’ll catch the criminal for you.
