ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGION AND INCIDENTS

PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Let's take photos.

Someday, we'll consider them as assets.

Is that a wedding gift? You rarely kiss me like that.

Don't be ridiculous. I kiss you all the time.

No, you don't.

-Around 11 p.m., a police officer... -Killed his wife...

-Stabbed his eyes... -An unprecedented case...

As an officer sworn to protect the public...

This case is a disgrace to the police...

The suspect is a highly decorated officer...

And solved many high-profile cases.

Meanwhile, his risky methods

were reprimanded numerous times.

Both eyes were stabbed with a sharp instrument.

He has a severe ocular penetrating injury.

Vitals. BP 138 over 92,

heart rate at 92, massive bleeding.

ETA, five minutes.

I'm here at the entrance of National Police Hospital.

The suspect of this grotesque crime

was found at the scene alive

and is being transported here.

The public is raising concern

over the crimes committed by members of the police force

and is criticizing for bringing the suspect to the NPH

since it could seem like a cover-up is in motion.

Even though his prints and blood at the scene

point to him as the perpetrator,

word has it that

the suspect is denying all charges.

NATIONAL POLICE HOSPITAL

EXAMINATION ROOM 1

Let go of me!

We combed the scene as you wished us to do,

but none of the evidence points to your wife being killed by Argos.

The same goes for your eyes.

So dead, I'll be a lunatic.

And alive, I'll be a murderer?

-Kang Gi-beom-- -This isn't the first time

the organization has fucked with the police.

Don't identify your case with that of the police force.

The criminal organization deals in murders, kidnappings,

tax evasion, assault and battery, bribery, and embezzlement!

There are over ten cases against them.

If we had been able to show our evidence in court

and had our witnesses properly stand trial,

Ko Yong-deok would've at least gotten 20 years.

But what happened to those witnesses and the officers protecting them?

TWO MONTHS AGO

-Hello? -How are things?

I thought I'd be finally taking all the credit,

but you just had to follow me out.

Gi-beom, we can protect the witnesses by ourselves just fine.

Also, working overtime on your wedding anniversary

will only lead to a war back at home.

It's not like I'm trying to slack off or anything.

You made a big mistake if you volunteered alone today

just so that I could be with my wife.

Stop thinking of her as a caught fish because you'll regret it.

What did you just say?

It's almost time for court. Get the witnesses ready.

Sure thing.

Just don't let word get out that I keep bothering my seniors.

I'm hanging up.

What's wrong?

Officer Kim, behind you. Officer Kim!

Be quiet.

I...

You see,

I need to talk to them.

So keep it down.

Fuck.

The police are the ones giving us hassle,

but we come out looking like the bad guys.

Please don't kill me.

My daughter just celebrated her first birthday.

Please...

Damn it.

You're all be behind bars one way or another!

Goodness.

So we have a feisty one.

How though?

You don't have any evidence and your only witness is dead.

Also, the trial should've already begun.

WITNESS

PROSECUTOR

Prosecutor,

did you have confirmation of your witness attending court today?

Yes, I had confirmation but...

Killing us won't keep you out of court.

How's that?

Many in Argos are ready to testify against you.

Rats like Officer Kim here?

He sure does love his kids.

But he doesn't seem to care about other people's kids.

Officer Kim!

Assistant Inspector Mun?

Assistant Inspector Mun...

No...

-Clean this up. -Yes, sir.

You bastard!

Let go of me! Let go!

I'll kill you all!

Let go!

Move! Get out of the way.

Let go!

Clean it up.

Yes, sir.

POLICE MEMORIAL PARK

MAY THE FALLEN REST IN PEACE

SONG MI-NA

Due to recurring gun-related cases

and unsolved kidnapping and missing persons' cases,

I feel responsible as it is my duty

to protect the welfare of our people.

It is why I am stepping down

as Commissioner-General.

How does it feel to be exonerated from all charges?

I'm glad that the truth has finally been revealed.

It's true that there were some setbacks,

but I will put that behind me and move forward.

What's your opinion on the police claims

regarding the disappearance of key witnesses?

It all sounds like a lousy exit plan.

Even the Commissioner-General stepped down.

I guess we'll see who has the last laugh.

I have one more question.

Is it true you're considering running for the Assembly?

Did you predict today's outcome in court?

-I'd like an answer. -This way.

-Are you running? -When will you address the rumors?

-Please say a few words. -Any words?

MAY THE FALLEN REST IN PEACE

SONG MI-NA

Be happy.

-Thank you. -The pleasure was mine.

-Congratulations, Mr. Park. -Hello.

I'm glad the court ruled in your favor.

I only have you to thank.

Only good things will follow, so don't worry too much.

Thank you.

There's a rumor about you running for the Assembly.

Is this true?

Assemblyman Park is here and he's the man of the hour.

Excuse me.

ASSEMBLYMAN PARK NO-SIK'S BOOK LAUNCHING EVENT

Excuse me for crashing the party.

Carry on though.

Is someone running for Assembly?

How does this make any sense?

Someone who secretly beats people to death

is begging for their votes now?

What the fuck is this?

Disgusting, that's what it is.

-You... -Admit to your crimes

or at least give us back their bodies, you bastard.

-Bastard! -Sir, are you all right?

Who the hell is he?

Step aside.

Get out of the way--

And who the hell are you?

Don't just stand there. Get rid of him.

Damn it.

EAST BUILDING

COP ASSAULTS ARGOS'S CHAIRMAN

A detective on the case assaults

an innocent man in front of all those reporters?

It's nothing compared to what those bastards do.

That attitude of yours dragged our reputation in the mud.

You are to catch the criminal, not become one.

-Whose side are you people on? -What?

You're still only speaking on their behalf.

What about our fallen officers?

Innocent until proven guilty.

Argos is one of Korea's most honest companies.

An honest company?

The whole world knows that the enterprise was formed by The Red Ants.

How much did the police help to clean their names?

Inspector Kang,

watch what you're saying. Don't you know what this hearing is for?

This is bullshit.

Wait, hold on.

Could I perhaps still buy some flowers?

-Sure. Come in. -Thank you.

FLOWERS

-Yes, honey? -Where are you?

1ST ANNIVERSARY GI-BEOM AND JIN

I'm really sorry.

I'm at the flower shop picking up your favorite.

I know I'm running late, but we should still celebrate.

Just hurry home. I miss you terribly.

Yes, ma'am, will do.

-Excuse me. Could I take this? -Yes?

That?

-And this. -Okay.

Also...

-I'll take every bouquet in here. -Sure thing.
