Shadow Detective (형사록)

DECEMBER, 1999 GEUMO CITY

Wow. Wow.

The hero of Geumo Police.

What are you talking about?

You caught the guy before the MIU did, so that makes you a hero.

-Don't get cute with me, man. -(laughs)

He was acting all high and mighty when he first came down

to catch that escaped prisoner but ended up getting schooled by Taekrok.

By the way, I heard that guy is just as crazy as you are.

-Maybe we should pit him against you. -What?

You know. That's why we call you Taek the Dog.

-(both laugh) -Didn't you know?

-Everybody calls you that. -Taek the Dog.

We caught the guy without much trouble thanks to you.

You should do a little sightseeing while you're here.

It must've been a hassle dealing with us.

Well, not really.

It happens often with the MIU since we travel all around the country

and stick our noses into the cases of the local cops.

I guess so.

I won't beat around the bush.

I very much like the way you investigate.

Would you like to work with me by any chance?

Think about it.

OCTOBER 2000 SEOUL

-Hey! -(indistinct shouting)

Stand back!

-Put the knife down! -Drop it!

Stay back, you fucking pigs!

Drop it!

Hey! Fuck!

Put the knife down! He has a hostage. Stay back!

-Don't come closer! -You bastards!

-Get lost, fuckers! Hey!

Please help me! (yelping)

You sons of bitches! -Put our weapons down!

Please save me.

Let's calm down and talk about this.

SHADOW DETECTIVE SEASON 2

Dohyung shot his gun again.

I created BST with members from the MIU.

Let's be safe today too.

We never know when or how we'll get hurt…

That guy.

He held a university student hostage and slit her throat before.

If Squad Chief Choi hadn't shot him,

the same thing could have happened to that girl.

So why the hell do we even have to worry about getting punished for using guns?

Calm down. The disciplinary action will just be a pay cut if I get one at all.

It's fine. I'll take care of it.

Right. Let's stop worrying tonight and just drink away, okay?

-Be safe! Today too!

Come up with something else. It's always the same...

Come on. What else could be more important to us than this?

Right. Dohyung.

I've been thinking about this for a while.

What if we form a group? Just us guys.

BST, for Be Safe Today too.

BST. What do you think?

-That sounds so lame. -It's nice.

-Good, right? -I like it.

Be Safe Today too. It's good, don't you think?

-I like it. It's decided, then. -Let's do it!

-BST! -Good? Good!

All right. Be safe!

Today too!

Hey, Jinseok.

What is it?

What's this?

For your mother's surgery. We all pitched in a little.

I know you all don't get paid much. I can't accept this.

Hey, kid, I ought to…

We're supposed to help each other when in need. Take it.

Take it.

Thanks, Taekrok.

BST

You and your obsession with BST…

What? It's nice.

Be safe today too.

Maybe the situation got serious because the guy he shot sued him.

HOMICIDE TEAM 2

Squad Chief Choi got suspended for three months.

What the hell? That isn't right!

For fuck's sake, that's too harsh.

Those damn higher-ups.

Hey, man.

Taekrok, are we just supposed to sit back and watch?

Dohyung received a three-month suspension.

NOEUL GOSIWON

Should I proceed…

with Kim Taekrok?

All right.

Kill it.

In order to protect ourselves…

In order to protect ourselves we should help each other.

…we should help each other.

We're ready.

LEE SEONGA

Listen carefully.

This is very important.

DETECTIVE KIM TAEKROK

DETECTIVE KIM TAEKROK

Goodness, Detective Kim.

To what do I owe the pleasure of you calling me at this hour?

You sound at ease.

I don't think you should be.

I'm not sure what you mean…

Ah...

I heard Seo Gwangsu turned himself in

and made some ridiculous accusation about me working for Lee Youngho.

Did you put him up to it?

Do I take it you aren't concerned since Won Jaegu has your back?

Think however you will.

How much longer do you think you can get away with this?

By the way, Detective Kim.

Be careful.

That might get you into big trouble.

You're the one who should be careful.

I've seen plenty of guys like you get stabbed in the back for trusting people.

What is it?

Are you any different from Team Leader Han?

Aren't you the reason

Team Leader Han ended up like that?

Tell Choi Dohyung.

You.

The Geumjeong Society.

I'll be ending it all.

Kim Taekrok left this behind.

PETITION

EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE KIM TAEKROK

"Squad Chief Choi Dohyung is a police officer of great dedication,

who always puts the safety of his team members and civilians first."

Come on, stop reading that. Jeez.

Give it here. It's just that I'm touched.

You're doing this on purpose, right? Stop messing with me.

I'm just thankful, that's all.

I didn't get disciplinary action thanks to you.

How did you manage to get over 100 people to sign on such short notice?

It wasn't me. It was the boys who did everything.

By the way, you might have gotten on the bad side of the higher-ups.

Aren't you worried?

I don't care.

-Kim Taekrok! -Kim Taekrok!

-Kim Taekrok! -Kim Taekrok!

Thanks to Taekrok, we're all safe again today. All of us BST!

Didn't you say the name was corny?

When did I say that?

How about we all go for a drink tonight?

-Yes. -Sounds good.

All right, let's go. Barbecue on me. Prime beef.

-Choi Dohyung! -Choi Dohyung!

-BST! -BST!

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER, LOYAL SERVICE

I URGE YOU TO CANCEL THE SUSPENSION KIM TAEKROK

Excuse us.

-Is Detective Lee Seonga here? -Who are you?

-Is Detective Lee Seonga not here? What is this about?

Seonga, someone's here for you.

I'm Lee Seonga.

We're from the provincial police agency.

You're going to have to come with us.

For what?

We're investigating the murder of Woo Jangik

and Team Leader Han Giyong's suicide.

Who are you people? -What am I being investigated for?

There's proof that you had been following Team Leader Han Giyong

at the time of his disappearance.

Still, this is too sudden. -This isn't right.

You should follow protocol.

-You know that. What are you doing?
