L.U.C.A.: The Beginning (루카: 더 비기닝)

I fell into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up with no memories.

I...

don't know who I am.

Baby.

Don't forget.

"You're not a monster."

You're not a monster.

I always wake up in an unfamiliar place.

Am I on the run?

Or am I chasing after someone?

Who are you?

Move! Out of the way!

Book an OR. Take him to the OR.

Hurry up and put him on the table.

Was he buried while someone was living here or before that?

I want you to check all the owners and tenants.

And I want that out of here. - Yes, sir.

There were tons of people who rented the place...

for a month or two without even signing a contract.

I don't think we can check everyone.

Focus on the people who lived here right before and after his death.

Get that thing out of here? - Hey!

Hello, detectives. I'm from the construction company.

Aren't you going to keep the scene under control?

You can't just let anyone inside.

If you restrict the area just because someone died,

we won't be able to finish the construction by the due date.

Why don't you just restrict this area right here...

and let us continue with the construction?

Please do us a favor, sir.

Who's in charge? - I'm in charge.

Tell him to turn that thing off. It's so loud.

Stop!

Stop the excavator!

My gosh, you're so slow-witted.

Who are you?

Oh, hello.

It looks like the skeleton of a man.

Judging by his teeth,

he received an alveolar bone graft.

I'm asking you what you're doing on my crime scene.

Are you from Regional? - Major Crimes Unit.

Why are you here? We didn't get any calls that you'd be here.

When do we ever call before showing up?

By the way, aren't you going to restrict the area?

It's a mess over there.

We need to preserve the scene first.

Your job is basically to dig up dirt on people.

What business do you guys have here?

Things are already hectic as it is.

Hey!

I refuse to leave!

Hey, stop... Stop him!

Darn it! - What's he doing?

Hurry. - Yes, sir.

Sorry, sir.

Come on.

This place is a mess.

Why don't we restrict the area first?

At this rate, we won't be able to find out how he died...

and how his body ended up here.

Thanks for the advice.

But which team are you in?

I have a lot of friends there.

If you're curious, find out yourself.

Ask your friends.

Hey.

Are you a photographer? Are you going to enter a contest?

Hurry up and take the photos so we can send the body over.

Yes, sir.

Didn't you get a body...

from a construction site today?

Yes, we did. But why?

What kind of favor are you going to ask me this time?

Just let me know if the condition of the corpse...

matches this medical record.

These are dental records.

Yes.

Kang Yong Su? Who's this?

It's a secret.

I'm investigating this covertly.

What do you think? Isn't it vaguely similar?

We can't be vague about our job.

Then take a good look.

It's him, isn't it?

Whether it's just a skeleton or a dead body,

now that it's here,

it's against the law to disclose such personal information.

If you need the info, send an official request.

Come on, Professor. It's just between us.

Look, Professor. Ta-da!

I'm bribing you. I hope you like it.

What a humble bribe.

Come on. Look at this. It's the thought that counts.

When it comes to bribes, it's always about how much it costs.

Professor, please.

I can't keep doing these things just because I taught you in the past.

Next time, put in an official request through the proper channels.

Let's have some bread. Oh, a red bean bun.

It is this man, right?

I can't say for sure that they're his bones,

but he did have dental surgery.

Right? I knew it.

The location of the prosthetics match,

and so does the surgical site.

You're sure, right?

Don't pressure me like that. It's just my opinion.

Hey, Major Crimes Unit.

Get in.

It's okay. Go ahead.

Get in.

What are you doing here?

I had to take care of something.

Are you trying to dig up dirt on me?

Isn't that your specialty?

Indeed.

But we don't target small fries. We only deal with important people.

But on my team, I'm quite important. Right?

Of course, very important.

In my eyes, you guys are just middle-aged men with fat bellies.

You have a way with words.

Because I'm in the Major Crimes Unit.

Goodness.

But I heard you got fired.

I called my friend.

He told me you caused trouble and will be transferred.

He said he'll send you to a horrible department to teach you a lesson.

Your friend? Who?

Find out yourself.

You're not even in the Major Crimes Unit.

Why did you lie and snoop through our scene? That's not nice.

I did not lie.

I am in Major Crimes until I'm officially transferred tomorrow.

Is that so?

Then can I go ahead and bring it to Internal Affairs' attention...

and ask for their opinion?

Look at you trying to intimidate me.

That tactic is too ancient, don't you think?

You folks in Violent Crimes need to get with the times.

And try to lose that gut.

You little... - Have a nice day.

What's her deal?

Hey! I told you to lose that belly fat!

It's going down. Darn it.

We can go back up.

We're here from Dagyeong Resources for waste collection.

Hey, Zi O.

Slow down when you're driving over speed bumps,

or the car will get busted in no time.

Okay. - Hey, another one.

Another speed bump. Hey!

Gosh, my legs are killing me.

My, that's nice.

Zi O.

You know, that cosmetics company.

When they test on dogs, they shave them first...

and pour their shampoo on the dogs.

Right, dermal safety testing.

That's right.

I heard they even pour things into the dogs' eyes.

So the products wouldn't irritate the eyes.

Gosh...

Those poor animals have rashes all over, and some even go blind.

But they're never given any antibiotics...

or painkillers until they die.

Goodness.

Because they need to see the effects of the tests.

Still, burning those poor things to ashes like this...

Isn't it too cruel?

They're dead.

They were killed after they were experimented on.

They're just animals.

Hey! Still.

I know I can put food on the table thanks to this job,

but I don't think we humans have the right to do that to animals.

We may have no such right, but we have the power to do it.

Is it okay to do this just because we have the power to do it?

Isn't that only natural?

No, it's cruel.

We don't call tigers cruel for hunting and eating rabbits.

This is different.

Honestly, I don't really see any difference.

Tigers do that to survive,

but we humans don't need to do that to survive.

Those people at the lab run such tests so they can make a living too.

You're unbelievably coldhearted.

Did you have a loveless childhood?

Yes.

You go out there and clean up everything.

That rude punk.
