You can't go in, sir.

Professor Kwon!

You can't go in. Please calm down.

No.

No!

Hi!

Hi, Dad.

Did I do a good job?

Look at this.

How is it?

Let's go.

Did you record it right?

You're my hero, Dad.

Because you always keep me safe.

I love you, Dad.

I love you.

Bye.

Are you Gaetal?

Should I ask you again?

Kwon Seok-joo.

Do you know anything about Gaetal

and the Killing Vote?

It's Byun Woo-taek!

Mr. Byun, any comments?

What kind of messed-up law is this?

What kind of law lets a criminal walk free?

- You call that the law? - But still...

We must follow it.

Because it's the law.

Kim Mu-chan.

We were very close in the past,

and he told me that he respected me.

And...

He also knows about the phrase "the devils who were deemed innocent."

Making sure that those who deserve to die are dead.

And calling the villain on the gallows a victim.

- Superintendent Kim Mu-chan. - Weren't you severely injured?

Please tell us what's going on.

Tell me,

Superintendent Kim Mu-chan.

What is justice for you?

KIM REPORTED TO BE IN SERIOUS CONDITION

EPISODE 4

Are you watching, Mom?

Yeah, I'm watching it.

Initially announced as being in critical condition,

it was revealed that Superintendent Kim only sustained minor injuries.

What?

Is this the thing that keeps your heart beating?

Does that mean that if it stops, you'll die?

...and sent the location of Kim to the press...

Are you embarrassed?

- It's okay-- - Embarrassed?

The rotten and corrupt police are now mocking the people with fake news.

They distorted the true intention of The Killing Vote

and framed me for hurting an innocent cop.

What was so wrong?

Our justice is

extremely rational.

Please give us a comment.

What are you going to do?

Please give us a few words!

I'm going to make an official statement.

So please stop.

Whether you write articles online or offline,

do whatever you want.

But I want you to include

every single word I'm about to say.

I'm Kim Mu-chan from the Special Investigation Unit.

As the culprit just said,

blinded by the urge to quickly solve the case,

I lied to you and pretended to be seriously injured.

I deeply apologize.

Ridiculous.

Is he serious?

That's just nonsense.

Due to my actions, I realize you've lost faith in the police.

However,

even if I could go back in time,

I would choose to do the same.

Isn't that crossing the line?

He surely knows how to attract the viewers.

Make it a close-up. Don't miss a word he says.

The culprit has committed murder on the pretext of rectifying injustices,

and he's turned the entire nation into accomplices.

Right now, as a criminal receives more support than the police,

I was willing to break rules to catch this heinous criminal as soon as possible.

I hope everyone understands this.

Also...

You and The Killing Vote.

Don't be mistaken.

You're not a hero.

You're clearly a murderer,

and your method is wrong.

I'm going to catch you no matter what.

- Who's behind this? - Are you resigning?

Is the unit disbanded?

Don't you think you're hindering the investigation?

Fire!

- Where? - Over there!

Run!

Fire!

Superintendent Kim!

Superintendent Kim!

Blinded by the urge to quickly solve the case,

I lied to you and pretended to be seriously injured.

I deeply apologize.

You shouldn't think badly of him.

You all heard about what he did until the explosion happened.

He tried to save that pathetic woman in that bad situation

even though he knew it could've killed him too.

He was just doing the best he could to fight the Gaetal craze.

Oh, my God!

The traffic on our website is going crazy.

The NPA server is already about to go down.

Insulting posts are flooding in,

adding a page per second to the message boards.

The server might really go down at this rate.

You think this is funny?

What are you talking about?

I'm moderating the message boards now.

Hateful comments create more hateful comments.

Before they keep showing up,

we have to stop them at regular intervals.

Then, erase this too.

Who does he think he is to call our leader a psycho?

Can't we track his location?

We're not stupid.

Did you think we wouldn't understand?

How could you not tell us and keep it all to yourselves?

You didn't trust us.

Right?

The fewer people involved, the higher the chances of success.

Hey. Stop mumbling and speak up.

The fewer people involved, the higher the chances of success.

It's not that we didn't trust you.

We didn't want to drag you into this.

Hello, Choi Jin-soo of the SIU speaking.

I'm taking off now.

Bae Gi-chul's wife has been found dead too.

- What? - What?

Don't be mistaken.

You're not a hero.

You're clearly a murderer,

and your method is wrong.

I'm going to catch you no matter what.

As the culprit just said,

blinded by the urge to quickly solve...

I was worried this would happen.

Anyway, if people find out why he came here,

both of us will be in trouble.

I hope they find out.

So we can find Gaetal.

What do you mean?

Wait, Professor Kwon.

Are you really connected with the Killing Vote guy?

You're not, are you?

If the police hadn't had such suspicions, they wouldn't have come to me.

Kim Mu-chan is not an idiot.

If they find out what I did instead of performing labor,

they might believe the suspicions are true.

Are you threatening me?

No way.

We're not in that situation yet.

Come in.

ROOKIE POLICE OFFICER BRAVELY BLOWS THE WHISTLE

Inmate 0512.

Keep walking.

Inmate 0512.

Move.

Keep walking.

You little...

Motherfucker.

Have you lost your mind?

Did that tea taste good?

You think you're so great?

Look at you acting all classy after murdering a person.

You're nothing more than a murderer.

You piece of shit.

Because of you scumbags,

this country is never going to improve.

You useless piece of shit.

- Let go. Die, you bastard. - Stop!

Darn it.

The whole country knows your face now.

Taking a cab is out of the question, let alone staying in a hotel

or sleeping on the street.

Everyone is a paparazzi these days.

They can instantly post your photos online, report you, and...

What are you doing?

Hey.

Still, this is a bit...

This isn't right. I'll just go to Jin-soo's or Sang-jae's.

Jo-dan called.

He said that the police agency is now surrounded by reporters

and our unit is quite upset too,
