Signal (시그널)

The statute of limitations won’t matter. They'll be shut down.

Go along with it.

Detective Lee? It's me, Park Hae-young.

What's your precinct?

We caught the culprit. Thanks to you.

You got him, Detective.

I think this might be my last transmission.

I'm looking for a detective named Lee Jae-han.

He's missing? How much does he know?

He must never know why Lee Jae-han’s gone missing.

It's impossible to set him up without someone on the inside.

Detective Lee Jae-han was murdered.

What were you doing while your team was acting up?

You were just some guy stuck in a little town.

Don't forget that I was the one who helped you get here.

Did you find anything suspicious about Park Hae-young?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Lieutenant Park?

It's me.

Lee Jae-han.

EPISODE 9

Why is this here?

Park Hae-young.

Why do you have this?

This is...

What?

It's not yours, is it?

You sound like you know who this belongs to.

You want to know?

It belonged to Detective Lee Jae-han.

This was Detective Lee's radio?

Yes.

He carried it around like a good luck charm all the time.

The crime scene investigators found it 15 years ago,

when he went missing.

It was found in the mountain where his vehicle was left.

It had been in the evidence locker until recently.

But then, the storage was over the limit and it was going to be disposed of.

But...

why have you been keeping the radio?

How did you know that I had it?

Have you been...

keeping tabs on me?

Just answer my question.

What's your connection to Lee Jae-han?

Why is it that you're digging into his background?

Why not?

Is there a reason I shouldn’t?

Or...

are there some kind of secrets...

I mustn't know about his disappearance?

There are no secrets...

about his disappearance.

Too bad. Pork belly and soju would be perfect right now.

Let’s go for a drink afterwards.

If you touch my desk again...

you'll be in big trouble.

This belongs to me now. I’m taking it back.

The radio Detective Lee carried around like a good luck charm.

The night I stumbled across it...

it was about to be disposed of.

Lieutenant Park? It's me, Detective Lee Jae-han.

Are you there, Lieutenant Park?

At that moment...

Who are you?

...was it really a coincidence that I came to possess this radio?

Why...

is it 11:23 p.m.?

Why?

Why did it have to be me?

Why?

The crime scene investigators found it 15 years ago,

when he went missing.

It was found in the mountain where his vehicle was left.

Detective Lee Jae-han's disappearance...

There's a hidden secret in it.

Why me?

Why did these transmissions begin?

CASE FILE DISAPPEARANCE OF LEE JAE-HAN

Detective Lee Jae-han was framed for being a corrupt cop and went missing.

I have to find out who framed him

and planted the evidence.

Someone within the police organization...

If I can find that person...

I'll know how and why Detective Lee Jae-han...

went missing.

Yes?

Sir, you’ve got a delivery.

AHN CHI-SOO

You want to look at it with me? Get lost.

HANSUNG BUILDING PARKING 4:00 P.M. DON'T USE MOBILE PHONE

HAVE ORDERS REGARDING LEE JAE-HAN

Asshole...

told me to lie low.

Why is he ordering me to come and go again?

You come and go when he says.

You're very loyal.

Courier service is great.

It goes to the person straight away at exactly the right time.

What are you talking about?

Was it Ahn Chi-soo?

Did he frame Lee Jae-han as a corrupt cop?

Who is Ahn Chi-soo?

I don't know who that is.

Of course, he couldn't have done it alone.

Too big to handle on his own.

Who's behind him?

I said I don't know what you’re talking about.

You want to investigate,

go and get a warrant, okay?

That's Kim Sung-bum. You wanted me to look for him.

There's a rumor

he made a lot of money with a pyramid scheme two years ago.

Why are you interested in him?

You'll get hurt if I tell you.

Those punks...

JINYANG-DONG PYRAMID SCHEME INVESTIGATION REPORT

SERGEANT KIM BUM-JOO

Not enough evidence? In this two billion won fraud case?

Kim Bum-joo, you punk. You really are a piece of work.

This is going to be fun.

Where did you go?

-Mind your own business. -What are you doing for Christmas?

I got these free movie tickets.

You can watch it with a friend.

Well, it's...

It’s a thank you gift. Thank you for showing me the ropes.

I don't watch movies.

Sorry?

I don't watch them.

As you were all notified,

we'll have control over off-the-clock business from tonight.

We'll join forces with the precinct in charge,

so get ready to be deployed.

Any questions?

As we're coming to the end of the year,

I understand it’s important to close more cases.

But as a detective task force, shouldn’t we care about public security?

For example, something like this would be good.

Six incidents in Gangnam and five in Gangseo.

There have been 11 muggings.

The case won't bring in any money through the back door.

But this is exactly the kind of scumbag we should put away.

He's stealing from people already suffering from the IMF.

Here.

Take a look.

You want to catch him?

This mugger?

And if I do?

What the...

Look down. I'm your superior.

If you want to get him, go ahead.

But only during the day.

If you don't work nights, I'll report you for disobeying orders.

You'll probably be tired

but I'm sure that's okay.

Sure.

You’ll be busy working day and night...

going through backgrounds.

Let's get going.

Can't you stop being so rebellious?

If you just do what he told you to, he'll make things comfortable.

You can live that way.

I can't live that way.

I'll help you with that mugger later.

-Okay? -Let go. I'll get that bastard.

You know I can't stand to lose.

But...

can you see his face? I don’t see it.

How will you catch him with this?

Give it back.

Unbelievable.

Detectives catch bad guys with spirit, not faces.

Get lost! Get back to work.

Excuse me. Hello. Can I ask you a few questions?

This model is a Daehang 9F235, right?

Have you had anyone come in for repairs recently?

Excuse me. Hello, sir.

-Do you know this type of motorcycle? -Yes.

Here you go.

See you in my dreams.

Wait a minute.

This is the busiest season of the year. How could you do this now?

Sorry, but it's the law.

I know it’s the law but we have to make a living.

We can’t send our customers away.

You guys are too hard on us.

That's...

That’s... the guy!

That's... the mugger!

-Hey! It's the wrong bike, idiot! -Where are you going?

Hey, Cha Soo-hyun!

Hey!

Are you insane?

She might be.

That guy is really...

the mugger. What a relief!

A round of applause for our rookie!

What?

How did you know anyway?
