WOULD YOU LIKE TO VOTE?

CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

SAFETY OF CHILD ACTORS WAS ENSURED

TEN YEARS AGO

Hyun, we have a guest.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

My job doesn't pay much, and I'd worked overnight for a few days.

I really messed up.

You were drunk.

You ran away to hide that you were drunk driving.

They were trapped

and asked you to save them.

Look, kid.

I just dozed off.

I'll come back another time.

Liar. I smelled the alcohol.

I know what that stench was.

- Please stop! - You were drunk driving!

You killed my mom and dad!

Say you killed them!

- Let go! - Say it!

- Say it! - Hurry and go.

Bring my mom and dad back!

Bring them back!

Mom...

COURT

PUNISH THE DRUNK DRIVER

How do you feel about this?

Please give us a word.

Could you give us a comment?

She left the car there and disappeared. Then, she reappeared two days later.

Alcohol can't be detected after 20 hours, so she wasn't tested.

There was a DUI checkpoint near the scene that day.

Look. The plate numbers are the same.

I think she hit our car while trying to avoid the checkpoint.

How did you find all of this, kid?

- Good job with the dashcam footage. - Well, thanks.

But what's certain is I definitely smelled alcohol.

After the accident,

she removed the memory card from our dashcam.

She even checked if we were all dead.

And she reeked of alcohol.

I swear. It was drunk driving.

You worked so hard. I hope I can bring you good news.

Thank you for listening to me though.

I mean it.

You're the only one...

who's heard me out.

Thank you.

REDEPLOYMENT KIM MU-CHAN

Sir.

I got the car accident victim's statement. Want to see?

Sure. I'll be waiting for it.

Why is Violent Crimes on a traffic case?

It was a waste of time. There's no actual evidence.

Hey, this is because of your incompetence. If you can't even listen, just quit.

Get your act together.

Bring me the statements by today.

Yes, sir.

Here's the beer!

- Here. - Thanks.

Let's drink.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Bottoms up. - Bottoms up?

So refreshing.

That really hit the spot.

Hey, you said you'd never play hooky again.

Hyun.

Can you be a killer instead of a cop?

You always ask me to do weird stuff.

Cops can't get revenge on her.

I can't stand seeing her enjoy her life. I want to kill her.

Forget it.

The best revenge is to have happy lives.

I'll become a great cop, so there won't be any victims like us.

I'll listen to people and see investigations through.

A great cop catches criminals. Listening isn't enough.

Listening to people is very comforting to them.

Fine. Go ahead and be a cop.

Just don't do anything risky. We weren't born at the same time,

but we promised to die together. Don't forget that.

Well, we don't have to do that.

I'll pass. You live a long life, and I'll take care of myself.

You scratch your scar when you're uncomfortable.

We're not going to die together?

That's something humans can't control.

Let's live our own lives.

Hyun!

Kill Kwon Seok-joo.

We can take him alive. Give us more time.

There are two of them. What if they detonate a bomb?

Kill them before it's too late.

Let me ask you one thing.

Is this order

coming from police executives without the same external pressures

that bound Lieutenant Choi eight years ago?

Are you certain this decision wasn't made out of self-interest?

Thank you for your answer, Commissioner.

Change of plans. We're negotiating with Kwon.

- I'll do it myself. - What? Negotiate?

We found booby traps inside the wall and at the entrance.

Kwon and Park. You're surrounded.

- Darn it. - I'm coming to you now. I'm unarmed.

Let's talk it out.

This has gone far enough. Let's not cause any more casualties.

They're already here.

Are you going to let it end like this?

When his daughter was murdered eight years ago,

the cops knew Lee Min-soo was...

- Ji-hoon. - Professor.

The police are watching every move you make.

Turn yourselves in.

Ji-hoon's using Lee's computer to stream through our agency's server.

I'll catch up with him soon, so hang in there.

You said they're coming here. What's the problem?

Min's offered a bounty on his head. If they catch him, he'll be in danger.

Secure those two as fast as you can.

My father's going to take his own life.

But why does he have to?

Those who destroyed our happiness never paid for what they did.

Why is it always

the righteous people who are strict with themselves?

Please call Lieutenant Joo. I must tell her something.

Holy cow, 200 million?

We could buy new motorbikes with that.

This sounds awesome.

Let's go, guys.

I got my GED thanks to the professor. I'm now studying for the SATs.

He's a good man. I'll support him until the end.

I won't cast a vote.

- Should we vote? - Gaetal's been wronged.

- I feel bad. I won't vote. - I'm voting. He did kill them.

- He wants to die. - Still, it's not right.

- I'm against this. - I'm not.

- I'm not voting. - Me neither.

DO YOU VOTE "YES" OR "NO"?

These sons of...

Step on it!

I'll go alone.

- Take out the booby traps. - Yes, sir.

I ABSTAIN

Ma'am, the entire nation is watching,

and Kim Mu-chan won't listen to me anymore.

That criminal planted a bomb. And you let Kim get in the way?

If this gets out, you think you can handle it?

Give me some time.

I will deal with this.

If no one's on site to take charge, then go there yourself.

Go and shoot him. At least earn what I paid you for.

Shoot and kill Kwon!

I said kill him! Kill him!

Kill him!

VOTING WILL CLOSE

VOTING HAS CLOSED

Please.

MAJORITY ABSTAINS SO VOTE IS CANCELED

The vote has ended.

Most people abstained, so it's canceled.

VOTE IS CANCELED

You need to make a decision.

Stick to the plan.

Sang-jae!

Yes, we're fine.

An animal must have passed by.

How can I leave you here?

That doesn't change what I must do.

This has always been my plan.

Then, let me take over.

The Killing Vote's program.

Let me have it.

I should keep it to carry out your wishes.

People were moved by what you said, right?

I should tell Hyun about this.

I still need to go to my father and stop him from hurting himself.

NUMBER THREE

Number Three turned off his phone. We can't track him.

I know his general area, so I'm going.

- Ji-hoon. - Grandma.

I thought you were arrested. Where are you?

That's right. I'm in a cell now. They let me call you.

I'm so sorry.

You were made to carry this burden because of us adults.

It's okay to stop now. Min's sister promised to protect you.

And the cops found out where the Professor is.

Do you think

he'll be okay then?

Yes, he will.

Let's pay for our mistakes and move on with our lives.

I won't ask you to go off alone again.

Okay.

I'll see you soon...

Grandma.

Let's go see Hyun.

I'll turn myself in.

Okay.

Ji-hoon will turn himself in.

Please keep your promise and protect him.

Of course.

I'll do my best.
