Rugal (루갈)

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGION AND INCIDENTS

PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Why did you do this to me?

-Put it down! -Why did you do that to her?

That's enough.

-Move aside. -You can blame him for his mistakes.

But you can't blame him for not being perfect.

He did the best he could.

Do not look down on his sincerity.

I told you to move.

Protecting him is also part of my job.

How can you say that after all this?

Hwang Deuk-gu is the one who killed Kim Yeo-jin.

But Choi Geun-cheol put her in his hands.

Your gun shouldn't be pointed at him.

Get a grip.

Let me ask you one last question.

Why was it me?

I considered you the most suitable weapon

to join Rugal.

Shut the fuck up, you bastard!

Shoot him.

Get rid of him.

Please get out of my way.

You'll regret this. Do you think everything he told you is true?

One is enough for me.

Is that coming from your eyes that mistook me for a test subject

and made you attack me?

You can't let him get away.

End it.

This is for disobeying my orders.

EPISODE 14

It happened over ten years ago.

Sergeant Song Gyeong-su

who was dispatched to the National Police Agency

suggested forming Rugal.

He had been my partner for a long time and was Mi-na's father.

Mi-na's father?

Did you already know?

Go on, sir.

Even before he became a police officer,

Sergeant Song was on the advisory council

to make robots with increased abilities for the Ministry of Defense.

He was a distinguished scientist.

It was hard to keep Argos under control with the manpower from the police.

So the confidential project we started

became you guys.

The Rugal Project.

That's enough history lesson for today.

People who had been on this project, including my father,

were aware of how dangerous this project could be.

But they still applied to be on it.

That's right.

Only those who were resolute to make a change have joined us.

But that determination

wasn't enough to change reality.

Chief Choi.

Did we...

No.

Did I end up joining the team based on your plan?

You guys are different.

Your involvement wasn't planned.

And I was lucky to have you.

Tae-woong became the first successful member.

And then, you and Mi-na joined, too.

Seeing how you became part of the team

gave me this thought.

"I shouldn't just be waiting.

Why don't I look for one myself?"

Is that how you found

Gi-beom?

PERSONNEL FILE

We had just finished developing the artificial eyes.

And I needed an individual that could handle the eyes.

PERSONNEL FILE

He was physically gifted.

He had ambition and was competitive which was typical for a cop.

On top of that, he was mentally stable.

He was the perfect fit.

Why didn't you tell him the truth from the start?

That you needed Gi-beom's help.

I had no idea that he would go after Ko Yong-deok.

The situation changed rapidly.

At that rate,

I had to watch Gi-beom getting killed.

Is that why

you devised such a plan with Detective Yang?

I thought it could be our opportunity.

I decided to take the role of giving him

a nudge in the right direction to reach his full potential.

Is that why you got his wife involved?

Even at the expense of killing Yeo-jin?

I didn't think this would happen

to Yeo-jin.

Logically, I follow your plan,

but it's hard to emotionally accept it.

While I wish Gi-beom to understand you,

my heart breaks for him.

I think you need time to process this.

For you, chief.

And for Gi-beom.

Water.

Water...

Help me.

Help me.

Did you find her?

Did you see your wife?

I was the one who found her.

I'm not trying to take credit.

Can you give me some water?

Kill him.

Dead.

Find me everything Choi Geun-cheol hid from me.

It scared the crap out of me earlier.

What do you mean?

When you two were fighting.

"What if I lose one of you?

Does it mean I have to take revenge?"

But both of you

are my close friends

and I like you both.

That won't happen.

But you weren't worried about Chief Choi?

I felt reassured because you were protecting him.

Or I could've sacrificed my body.

If Chief Choi hears that, he might be disappointed.

Gi-beom was probably disappointed, right?

In you and me, right?

He's not that petty.

Seeing how he took a step back, he probably understands our situation.

That's what worries me more.

That he might try to shoulder

all the burdens and pain by himself.

No one would be able to forgive

after seeing this.

Did you find out more

about how she'd been living?

I didn't have time to talk to Gi-beom.

And what you already know is the extent of my information.

I should have looked for her

no matter what it took.

I can't side with you

on this matter.

Okay.

Thank you for being honest with me.

Gi-beom's feeling is the most important thing right now.

Why did you do it?

It would've been better if you were honest with him.

What if his surgery didn't work?

What were you going to do, then?

Do you think there's anyone who knows Gi-beom as well as I do?

The thought of the surgery failing didn't even cross my mind.

No.

If you knew him that well and believed in him,

you should have told him the whole truth.

If this was between two people, that would've been the right thing to do.

But Mi-na,

this matter is on a whole new level.

My faith in him won't solve it.

If he fails to free himself from the restrictions of a human,

there's no future with Rugal.

And I'm hoping

that Gi-beom will overcome this hardship on his own.

I don't want

to lose Gi-beom.

I feel the same way.

You should've aimed for my neck or my heart if you were going to try.

You and Choi Yong don't know anything about a final strike.

You'll just leave like that?

I don't want to spoil my mood today.

Why do you think Choi Geun-cheol isn't trying to rescue you?

Or is someone helping you out behind my back?

If not that, you must have been trained for a situation like this.

Then, you must know that I won't answer it even if you ask.

Fine.

How about this, then?

Why don't you fix me up?

What do you want to fix?

My body?

You must be better than Director Gu who is over the hill.

Are you in your right mind?

That's a load of crap. No one lives their lives in their right mind.

Then,

are you really willing

to try it?

Excuse me. Could you be thorough when you finish that up?

Sure.

Given the looks of it,

this turned out pretty well.

-Anyway, thank you for your work. -Sure thing.

Okay.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

It's another dead end.

Same here.

Have you located Gi-beom yet?

I'm tracing the signals, but I think someone is jamming the signals.

As of this moment, cut the artificial eyes' access to our servers.

And strengthen the HQ's server.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

If you cut off all the access, how will you protect Gi-beom?
