Transcript

00:00:00This young boy was witnessing the most horrifying scene of his life.

00:00:04His mother was brutally murdered by a stranger.

00:00:07She could have survived, but fearing the killer would find her son hiding under the bed,

00:00:11she chose to remain silent and sacrifice herself.

00:00:15Terrified, Deku could only clench his teeth and watch it all unfold.

00:00:19The root of this tragedy stemmed from the previous night.

00:00:23As he and his mother returned home, two strange men stood at their door.

00:00:26His mother's face suddenly changed, and she urged her son to go inside first.

00:00:32It turned out she was a witness to a murder,

00:00:34and they were using her son as leverage to prevent her from testifying to the police.

00:00:39To ensure her son's safety, the next day, the mother refused to disclose anything,

00:00:44despite Detective Pan Seok's persistent visits and attempts to persuade her.

00:00:48It seemed the case would fade into obscurity,

00:00:51but that night, Deku stumbled upon the investigation board.

00:00:54Realizing his mother's silence was out of concern for him,

00:00:58he convinced her to do the right thing and not let the criminals get away with it.

00:01:02Hearing this, she began to reconsider.

00:01:05The next morning, the mother went to the police station to report the crime to Pan Seok.

00:01:10She agreed to testify when the trial began.

00:01:13Grateful, Pan Seok repeatedly thanked her and promised to protect her family.

00:01:17However, when Deku returned home from school,

00:01:20he found his mother lying unconscious in a pool of blood.

00:01:23Although gravely injured, she was still clinging to life.

00:01:27As he reached for the phone to call for help,

00:01:29a stranger burst into the house, ransacking their belongings.

00:01:33From a phone call the intruder made,

00:01:35it seemed he was searching for a moon-shaped pendant that Deku had found in front of their house earlier.

00:01:41After searching fruitlessly, he realized the space under the bed remained unchecked.

00:01:46And so, the tragic opening scene of the story unfolded.

00:01:49Deku could only watch helplessly as his mother died before his eyes.

00:01:54After the deed was done, the cruel killer immediately fled.

00:01:58By the time the police arrived, it was too late.

00:02:01Seeing Deku orphaned overnight, Pan Seok was filled with remorse,

00:02:05having been the one who promised to protect them.

00:02:07Now, faced with the boy's accusations,

00:02:10he could offer no justification for his failure.

00:02:12Consumed by grief and anger, Deku left home.

00:02:16At school, while weeping in sorrow,

00:02:18he suddenly remembered the killer had come for the pendant.

00:02:21He immediately called Pan Seok to report it.

00:02:24On the other end of the line,

00:02:26Pan Seok told him to stay put and promised to pick him up within 30 minutes.

00:02:30However, the terrifying sound of the killer's shoes suddenly echoed nearby.

00:02:35Somehow, he had managed to track Deku down to the school.

00:02:38Luckily, using his quick wit, Deku tricked the killer into going downstairs.

00:02:43But suddenly, Su Sun's voice boomed over the loudspeaker,

00:02:47thanking Deku for lending her an umbrella and tying her shoelaces.

00:02:51This inadvertently revealed his hiding place to the killer.

00:02:54Even when he ran into the science lab, he was discovered.

00:02:58Unaware of the situation, Su Sun kept asking why Deku was there.

00:03:03Seeing no other way out, he took a desperate gamble.

00:03:05He threw a bottle of acid directly into the killer's face, causing him agonizing pain.

00:03:11In his agony, the killer dropped the moon pendant that Deku had just reported to Pan Seok.

00:03:17The pendant, which should have been at the police station, was now in the killer's possession.

00:03:22This shattered Deku's remaining trust in Pan Seok.

00:03:25Taking advantage of the killer's pain, he quickly escaped.

00:03:28From that day forward, he vanished without a trace.

00:03:32Eleven years later, Deku returned from the abyss,

00:03:34having become a highly skilled detective at the Gangnam police station,

00:03:39known as Korea's top police force.

00:03:41Today was the day new members were introduced.

00:03:44Surprisingly, Su Sun had also become a detective,

00:03:47a path far different from her dream of being a singer.

00:03:51Despite recognizing his former classmate, Deku chose not to interact with her.

00:03:56He wanted to keep his identity secret to investigate his mother's death.

00:04:00Even his name had been changed long ago.

00:04:02But even more coincidentally, Deku's Team 3 leader was none other than Detective Pan Seok,

00:04:08the very man who had promised to protect his mother.

00:04:11Naturally, Deku still suspected him of complicity.

00:04:15However, Pan Seok was now Gangnam's top detective,

00:04:18making it considerably more difficult to find evidence against him.

00:04:22Fueled by his resentment,

00:04:23Deku showed open hostility towards his superior during introductions.

00:04:27Pan Seok, however, wasn't one to back down.

00:04:31He asserted his authority as team leader,

00:04:33expressing his general reluctance to train young recruits.

00:04:37Before he could finish, a notification of a new case came in.

00:04:40Pan Seok's cynicism proved immediately justified.

00:04:44Su Sun managed to break the siren light

00:04:46while attempting to place it on the roof of the car.

00:04:49The team resorted to hitchhiking,

00:04:51using their handcuffs to flag down a ride.

00:04:53Upon seeing the police, the criminals immediately fled.

00:04:57A fierce chase ensued, with cars speeding in opposite directions.

00:05:01Of course, Pan Seok was a skilled driver.

00:05:04After some deft maneuvering, he caught up with the thugs.

00:05:07However, Jai Kuk, a seasoned detective,

00:05:10ended up being taken hostage.

00:05:12Deku, appearing dangerous,

00:05:14pulled out his taser and fired without hesitation.

00:05:17Unfortunately, Jai Kuk was the one who got shocked.

00:05:20After hauling the criminals back to the station,

00:05:23T. Il's thirst for attention kicked in.

00:05:26He struck various poses for a group of admiring schoolgirls.

00:05:30Thinking Su Sun would intervene,

00:05:31everyone was surprised when she joined in,

00:05:34striking poses of her own and basking in the attention.

00:05:37Witnessing this, Pan Seok could only vent his frustration by punching a pillow.

00:05:42He then stormed into the captain's office,

00:05:45complaining about the new recruits and demanding their removal.

00:05:47However, the captain gestured towards the chief,

00:05:51who sat nearby the one with real authority.

00:05:53Intimidated by his superior,

00:05:55Pan Seok could only kick a trash can in frustration and leave.

00:05:59Back outside, Pan Seok began to berate his team,

00:06:03repeatedly urging them to request transfers.

00:06:06Before he could finish,

00:06:07Team 1 leader, Sa Kaeyong, appeared unexpectedly.

00:06:11Without a word, she slapped Pan Seok twice across the face.

00:06:14His authoritative demeanor instantly crumbled into dejection.

00:06:18The deputy team leader then took over,

00:06:20assigning tasks to the four rookies.

00:06:23Initially, everyone eagerly volunteered for assignments.

00:06:26D. Ku and Su Sun were tasked with escorting a suspect to the prosecutor's office.

00:06:31The suspect, taking advantage of their distraction while they chatted,

00:06:35suddenly bolted, stealing a police car and speeding away.

00:06:39However, he didn't get far before crashing directly into Pan Seok's car.

00:06:43Furious, Pan Seok gathered Team 3 for a relentless scolding.

00:06:48He criticized them for leaving a knife on the table,

00:06:51violating the protocol against sharp objects near suspects.

00:06:54Su Sun could only shrink back, repeatedly apologizing.

00:06:58D. Ku, however, completely denied responsibility,

00:07:01placing the blame squarely on Su Sun.

00:07:04Outside, Su Sun angrily cursed D. Ku under her breath.

00:07:08After being reprimanded by the captain, Pan Seok went to the chief,

00:07:12complaining about being saddled with clueless rookies.

00:07:15He lamented how the entire station had been in chaos since their arrival.

00:07:20The chief simply smiled gently, replying,

00:07:22wasn't Detective Pan Seok once a clumsy rookie himself?

00:07:26Silenced, Pan Seok had no retort.

00:07:29Meanwhile, as night fell, D. Ku went to Pan Seok's house,

00:07:33secretly installing cameras and a call monitoring device on his phone.

00:07:37To avoid suspicion from Su Sun, he quickly returned to the dormitory.

00:07:42To his surprise, the entire team was living together.

00:07:45However, Jai Kuk couldn't tolerate D. Ku's erratic behavior

00:07:49and moved in with T. Il, who happily agreed.

00:07:52D. Ku's desire for solitude stemmed from his need to monitor Pan Seok's every move.

00:07:58He then reviewed the evidence on the investigation board.

00:08:01Suddenly, he received a phone call.

00:08:03Following someone's instructions, he looked at his mother's case file.

00:08:08Overcome with grief, D. Ku visited his mother's grave.

00:08:11There, he vowed to find her killer and avenge her death.

00:08:15The next morning, Team 3 received a complex new case involving a series of romance scams.

00:08:21With a lead, Pan Seok and the deputy team leader immediately raided a restaurant.

00:08:26However, upon seeing them, the suspect recognized them as police and fled.

00:08:30But the opportunity didn't end there.

00:08:33That night, Pan Seok sent the four rookies undercover to a bar.

00:08:37This time, Su Sun was tasked with hiding in the restroom,

00:08:41ready to record any conversations the suspect might have there.

00:08:44D. Ku then demonstrated his analytical skills.

00:08:48Observing the patrons, he deduced that a woman in a white dress was wearing a stolen watch.

00:08:53Using his charm, T. Il easily approached her and obtained her phone number.

00:08:57Inside, Su Sun finally managed to tail the suspects to the restroom.

00:09:03Just as their plan seemed to be flawlessly unfolding,

00:09:06they witnessed a disturbance in the main area and,

00:09:08driven by their sense of justice, rushed out to intervene.

00:09:12Chaos erupted.

00:09:13During the commotion, D. Ku accidentally discovered someone had been stabbed.

00:09:18Memories of his mother flooded back, momentarily paralyzing him.

00:09:21Seeing this, Su Sun rushed to his side to help him regain his composure.

00:09:27Overwhelmed by the noise, D. Ku shot out a speaker.

00:09:30They successfully evacuated the bar patrons.

00:09:33However, due to the gunshot, the local police mistook them for troublemakers and hauled them off to jail.

00:09:39Upon hearing the news, Pan Seok immediately bailed them out,

00:09:43only to unleash a torrent of furious reprimands.

00:09:45However, each rookie stepped up, taking responsibility for their actions.

00:09:50Still seething, Pan Seok continued to sarcastically berate them.

00:09:54Unable to endure it any longer, D. Ku produced a recording of a conversation from the romance scam operation.

00:10:01Jai Kuk then revealed that D. Ku had successfully trapped the suspect.

00:10:05Pan Seok finally began to calm down.

00:10:08During a meeting of team leaders, the captain proposed transferring the rookies.

00:10:12However, the chief wanted to hear Pan Seok's opinion first.

00:10:16When his turn came, Pan Seok didn't hesitate to criticize the useless rookies.

00:10:21Just when it seemed they were about to be dismissed, he delivered his final statement.

00:10:26He couldn't let these useless rookies cause trouble elsewhere,

00:10:29so he requested permission to train them for four months.

00:10:33If they didn't improve after that period, they would be officially dismissed.

00:10:37Their first training exercise focused on locating suspects.

00:10:40They surrendered their personal phones and were tasked with finding an address provided by Pan Seok.

00:10:46Teamwork was essential, but each rookie arrived at the location separately, infuriating Pan Seok,

00:10:52who then increased the difficulty.

00:10:54He forced them to stake out a suspect in a car for 12 hours,

00:10:57even denying them water to avoid bathroom breaks.

00:11:01The ordeal took a significant mental toll on the team.

00:11:04After completing the task, they faced another challenging assignment the next morning.

00:11:08Pan Seok tasked them with finding a single piece of DNA evidence,

00:11:12a wad of chewing gum supposedly left behind by the suspect during a fight at a junkyard.

00:11:18Luckily, the gum was flicked out, but the resulting stench clung to the rookies,

00:11:22causing everyone at the station to avoid them.

00:11:25Impressed by their efforts, Pan Seok had a change of heart,

00:11:28giving them a chance to continue working on the romance scam case.

00:11:32Following leads gathered at the bar, Team 3 quickly located the organization's hideout.

00:11:38Unexpectedly, they found people using drugs there.

00:11:41During a struggle, a woman dropped her phone.

00:11:44Glancing at the wallpaper, Deku instantly recognized the man in the picture

00:11:47as the person who had been stabbed at the bar the previous night.

00:11:51However, Deku chose not to inform his team leader,

00:11:55instead reporting the drug use to the narcotics unit.

00:11:58This infuriated Pan Seok, but he couldn't do anything since the case was already solved.

00:12:03Given their recent success, Pan Seok entrusted them with two new cases

00:12:07before leaving for an assignment at the National Police Agency headquarters.

00:12:12Su Sun drove Deku to their next assignment.

00:12:15However, while on the road, she was pulled over for using her phone while driving.

00:12:20The person who reported her was none other than Deku.

00:12:23Annoyed, but unable to argue, she accepted the ticket.

00:12:26Next, they visited the victim's home and listened to her account of the event.

00:12:31Lacking sufficient evidence to prosecute, Deku prepared to leave.

00:12:35Su Sun, exasperated, called him out for his selfishness,

00:12:39arguing that if he was going to help, he should see it through.

00:12:43Deku stubbornly insisted on leaving,

00:12:45but Su Sun suddenly gained leverage by mentioning the map of the team leader's apartment.

00:12:50Defeated, he reluctantly agreed to cooperate.

00:12:52Soon, they lured the harasser to meet with the victim.

00:12:57Now, they just needed him to make another aggressive move so they could apprehend him.

00:13:01Although Deku pretended to be the victim's boyfriend to convince the harasser that she had moved on,

00:13:07he seemed to suspect something and refrained from any further harassment, even after they left.

00:13:12It seemed strange, but Deku believed that with that level of agitation,

00:13:16the perpetrator would definitely return to the victim's house.

00:13:19So the two waited in the car all night.

00:13:22Deku then offered his analysis,

00:13:24asserting that the culprit would appear at noon the following day.

00:13:27This led Su Sun to carelessly answer a phone call,

00:13:31which allowed the perpetrator to abduct the victim.

00:13:34Seeing Su Sun's car right in front of him, but unable to do anything,

00:13:38the victim's face immediately became panicked.

00:13:40Meanwhile, Deku went to a convenience store to buy some energy drinks.

00:13:44Suddenly, a piece of writing caught his eye.

00:13:47He had miscalculated the time of the perpetrator's appearance.

00:13:51It wasn't noon, but 9 p.m.

00:13:53He immediately rushed back to the scene to check.

00:13:56Of course, their carelessness had cost them dearly.

00:13:59Unsurprisingly, the victim had been fatally stabbed in the stomach.

00:14:03They watched as the trust placed in them crumbled.

00:14:06Hearing the news, Pan Siok rushed back from headquarters in the middle of the night.

00:14:11After only two days away,

00:14:12the consequences were so severe that he couldn't justify himself

00:14:16against Sa Kyung's accusations of inadequate training of the rookies.

00:14:20Pan Siok stormed into the police break room and kicked Deku to the floor.

00:14:25Seeing his mother's killer cursing at him, Deku's pride was trampled.

00:14:29He stood up to argue with the team leader,

00:14:31accusing him of wrongly assaulting a team member

00:14:33and threatening to expose the incident with a video clip.

00:14:37Neither side backed down, and a fight broke out.

00:14:39Fellow officers quickly intervened to stop them.

00:14:43After that failure, Su Sun hadn't dared to visit the victim.

00:14:47She was even removed from the team by Pan Siok and barred from participating in any cases.

00:14:52Reading the news articles smearing the rookie team,

00:14:55the division chief reprimanded Pan Siok again.

00:14:58Furthermore, the victim's parents came to the station and slapped Su Sun across the face,

00:15:03heaping curses upon her.

00:15:05Deku quit his job and returned to his hometown.

00:15:08He walked familiar streets with his mother in his memories and returned to his childhood home.

00:15:14The horrific memories resurfaced,

00:15:16and the pain of losing his loved one drove him to the sea to seek solace.

00:15:20Deku's cries inadvertently called his mother back.

00:15:23She appeared beside her son, encouraging him.

00:15:26There are no failed police officers,

00:15:28only police officers who don't learn from their mistakes.

00:15:31Every time you go through pain, you have to become stronger to face it.

00:15:35That's my son.

00:15:37Hearing these words, Deku's resolve began to waver.

00:15:40He knew he couldn't give up yet.

00:15:42So, Deku decided to return to work.

00:15:45However, Su Sun hadn't recovered, and she officially submitted her resignation.

00:15:50Upon hearing this, her colleagues came to comfort her.

00:15:53Even the seemingly cold Deku showed up.

00:15:56These two opposing forces argued as soon as they met.

00:15:59Each believed the other was at fault and demanded an apology, but neither would yield.

00:16:05T. Il had to handcuff them together, declaring,

00:16:07I'll only unlock these cuffs when you make up.

00:16:10Then, Jai Kook and T. Il took the group out for hot pot.

00:16:14However, at the restaurant, a young man was being relentlessly insulted.

00:16:19In a fit of rage, he locked the doors and brandished a knife,

00:16:22retaliating against those who had humiliated him.

00:16:25The restaurant owner, returning from the market, panicked and called the police.

00:16:30This time, only Pan Siok and the deputy team leader received the call.

00:16:35The phones of the four rookies kept ringing incessantly.

00:16:38This further enraged the young man, who began cursing.

00:16:41Deku and Su Sun claimed it was their anniversary, and friends were calling with congratulations.

00:16:47After waiting impatiently, a wealthy young woman suddenly stood up.

00:16:51Despite Su Sun's attempts to stop her, she loudly proclaimed,

00:16:55If it's about money, my parents can handle it.

00:16:58But compared to his wounded pride, money couldn't appease him.

00:17:02He even disconnected the gas line to the stove and pulled out a lighter, threatening,

00:17:07If you don't behave, I'll blow this whole place up.

00:17:10Outside, police arrived and surrounded the restaurant.

00:17:13Peering inside, Pan Siok was stunned to see his rookies being held hostage.

00:17:18The deputy team leader and the division chief, arriving later, were furious.

00:17:23Criminal investigators taken hostage.

00:17:25It was unacceptable.

00:17:27Inside, Deku began his negotiation tactics.

00:17:31Upon entering the restaurant, he'd happened to notice the perpetrator's mother's birthday.

00:17:35He shared a story about losing his own mother in middle school.

00:17:39The perpetrator began to feel a sense of empathy for Deku.

00:17:42The young man finally presented his demands.

00:17:45Hearing them, Pan Siok outside agreed to fulfill his wish,

00:17:49to bring the CEO who had withheld his wages to apologize.

00:17:53While waiting, the wealthy young woman suddenly suffered an asthma attack.

00:17:57Her parents outside grew frantic, fearing for her life.

00:18:01If she wasn't brought outside, she could potentially die.

00:18:04Left with no other choice, Su Sun revealed that they were all police officers.

00:18:09She argued that she would be a much better hostage than the students.

00:18:12To further gain the perpetrator's trust, the group handcuffed themselves together.

00:18:17Seeing this, he lowered his guard and released the students.

00:18:21Not receiving any updates, Pan Siok risked crawling through the ventilation ducts to get closer.

00:18:27He measured the gas concentration and assessed the situation.

00:18:31Just as he was almost discovered, Deku gave him a warning glance.

00:18:35Pan Siok had to retreat to ensure his subordinate's safety.

00:18:38Outside, he announced that the gas concentration had exceeded safe levels,

00:18:43preventing the police from storming the restaurant.

00:18:46He then received news that the CEO had left the country on vacation and couldn't be brought there.

00:18:52Inside, Su Sun came up with a plan.

00:18:54Understanding the perpetrator's feelings of abandonment, she sat down and talked to him.

00:18:59He seemed to become distracted.

00:19:01Seizing the opportunity, another rookie lunged forward and grabbed the lighter.

00:19:05Then, the group tackled and successfully subdued the desperate young man.

00:19:10This created an opportunity for the police outside to rush in.

00:19:14Because of their excellent work, Pan Siok overlooked the previous incident.

00:19:18The deputy team leader also praised their bravery.

00:19:22After this incident, the team's morale soared.

00:19:25Su Sun suddenly realized the team leader hadn't read her resignation letter.

00:19:29The group raced back to the station to retrieve it.

00:19:32The case concluded, and their camaraderie strengthened.

00:19:36Suddenly, during a cherry blossom viewing outing, Pan Siok received a call from the man in black.

00:19:42Having bugged Pan Siok's phone, Deku also heard the conversation, increasing his suspicion.

00:19:48His suspicion that Pan Siok was an accomplice wasn't unfounded.

00:19:52Returning home, Deku immediately contacted someone and revealed the reappearance of the sinister figure,

00:19:58claiming Pan Siok was connected to him.

00:20:00However, observing through a hidden camera, he couldn't detect anything unusual.

00:20:05As he was about to continue his investigation, the team gathered.

00:20:09They decided to celebrate their recent success.

00:20:12Seeing that everyone else had a place to stay, Su Sun offered to stay with them.

00:20:17Deku immediately objected, and she dropped the request.

00:20:21The night passed, with everyone enjoying themselves to the point of inebriation.

00:20:25Deku remained sober and went to take a shower.

00:20:28Upon exiting, he bumped into Su Sun.

00:20:31She wasn't bothered and even complimented how good he smelled.

00:20:35The next day, Deku decided to take a day off to follow Pan Siok.

00:20:39Unfortunately, it was Pan Siok's day off as well, leaving Deku deeply disappointed.

00:20:44Back at the station, everyone noticed Su Sun's new hairstyle.

00:20:48Jai Kuk seemed captivated and smiled involuntarily.

00:20:51Even the deputy team leader complimented her new look.

00:20:55Soon after, Su Sun pulled Deku aside.

00:20:58She pressured him to apologize to the team leader for their fight.

00:21:02Hearing that he had to bow his head to his mother's killer's potential accomplice,

00:21:06he firmly refused.

00:21:08But eventually, he was swayed by Su Sun.

00:21:11During the team meeting, Deku apologized.

00:21:14The deputy team leader was delighted.

00:21:16Pan Siok shared his thoughts.

00:21:18Despite their blunders, the team had worked hard.

00:21:20He decided to assign them their next real case.

00:21:24That night, the entire police station celebrated the recent success.

00:21:28The chief congratulated the rookie team.

00:21:31The emcee then invited Pan Siok to sing a song,

00:21:34and the rookie team rushed to the stage to back him up.

00:21:37However, the celebration was short-lived.

00:21:40Prosecutor Hany arrived.

00:21:42Having a dislike for the police, he immediately began to give Pan Siok a hard time,

00:21:47singling him out and forcing him to take on a new assignment.

00:21:50Pan Siok protested, stating it was the station's day off.

00:21:54But Hany wouldn't relent.

00:21:56In South Korea, everyone knew that prosecutors held a position of power,

00:22:00even above the police.

00:22:02Faced with Hany's intimidation, Pan Siok was forced to accept the assignment.

00:22:07Later, Su Sun and Deku visited the victim they had failed to protect.

00:22:12Fortunately, the perpetrator had been caught that same day,

00:22:15so the victim didn't blame them, instead expressing gratitude towards the police.

00:22:20Before their visit, Pan Siok had been visiting daily, even leaving gifts.

00:22:24Meanwhile, Rian received a report about a missing child.

00:22:28Despite the late hour, she set off to investigate.

00:22:31Local officers joined the search.

00:22:33Upon reaching a bridge, Rian noticed skid marks.

00:22:37Her intuition told her something was wrong under the bridge.

00:22:39Indeed, the missing boy's body was found discarded there.

00:22:44Horrified, she rushed him to the hospital.

00:22:46However, too much time had passed, and the boy succumbed to blood loss.

00:22:51Rian was heartbroken and wept.

00:22:53The missing person case had become a suspected homicide.

00:22:56Team 3 was assigned to the case.

00:22:59Using security footage, they identified the prime suspect.

00:23:02The following morning, they visited his residence.

00:23:05Upon arrival, they realized he was a wealthy tycoon who even treated his own butler with disdain.

00:23:11The suspect dismissed Deku's deductions and even insulted Su Sun,

00:23:15calling her poor and unworthy of speaking to him.

00:23:19Lacking sufficient evidence, Pan Siok couldn't arrest him.

00:23:22Instead, he aggressively approached the suspect,

00:23:25threatening to catch him no matter what and advising him to enjoy his freedom while it lasted.

00:23:30Upon returning, Deku snuck into Pan Siok's house to search for clues.

00:23:35Unfortunately, Pan Siok returned home unexpectedly.

00:23:39Deku narrowly escaped by hiding in a closet.

00:23:42Later, Pan Siok met with Hany to report on his assigned task

00:23:46and request an arrest warrant for the tycoon.

00:23:49However, Hany, enjoying his power, refused to approve it and even mocked Pan Siok.

00:23:55Infuriated, Pan Siok retorted that Hany hadn't even reviewed the file

00:23:59before claiming insufficient evidence, implying that Hany must have been bribed.

00:24:04Stunned, Hany could only watch as Pan Siok stormed off.

00:24:08At that moment, the grieving parents of the boy arrived at the station,

00:24:11blaming each other for not watching their son carefully.

00:24:14Rian stood up, tearfully declaring that only bad mothers would leave their children alone in a park.

00:24:20This outburst revealed that Rian had lost a child.

00:24:24The boy's father was none other than team leader Pan Siok.

00:24:27Seeing this, the chief comforted Rian on the rooftop.

00:24:31But the pain of losing her only son was inconsolable.

00:24:35This was the reason for her constant anger towards Pan Siok.

00:24:38At the same time, remembering the moment his child left this world,

00:24:42and the guilt he carried for not being there, Pan Siok clung to his son's toys.

00:24:47Every night, he'd take them out, yearning for his little boy.

00:24:51Coincidentally, this new case mirrored his own son's death.

00:24:55Pan Siok, foregoing sleep, went straight to the police station in the dead of night.

00:25:00Seeing his team exhausted after just two nights of late work,

00:25:03he angrily kicked a table and dragged them into the meeting room.

00:25:07He furiously declared that their fatigue would only give the perpetrator a chance to escape.

00:25:12Yet, after his outburst, Pan Siok encouraged the younger officers to persevere.

00:25:16Everyone knew his story and, understanding his pain, remained silent.

00:25:21So, early the next morning, the entire team was determined to investigate.

00:25:26Even as sleep threatened to overcome them, they refused to give up.

00:25:30Meanwhile, Pan Siok realized something had been overlooked at the crime scene.

00:25:34But as he was about to head back to investigate,

00:25:37he received a message from his deputy that Hany had assigned him a new, immediate task.

00:25:41Ignoring the order, Pan Siok went straight to the scene.

00:25:45He was searching for a missing fragment from the Keeball's car.

00:25:49Luckily, Deku found a witness to the accident.

00:25:52Pan Siok was overjoyed.

00:25:54The team immediately took the elderly man out for a lavish meal,

00:25:57hoping to glean information about that night and gather evidence.

00:26:01However, mid-meal, the witness excused himself to use the restroom.

00:26:05Unfortunately, a young man followed him in.

00:26:08By the time Pan Siok returned, his deputy revealed that the witness, initially cheerful,

00:26:14had become sullen and refused to give a statement, returning home.

00:26:17Undeterred, Pan Siok returned to the crime scene that night.

00:26:21Finally, he discovered the missing car fragment,

00:26:24and the younger officers also located a second witness.

00:26:27Hope flared in Pan Siok once more.

00:26:30With such solid evidence, Hany couldn't obstruct him.

00:26:33An arrest warrant for the Keeball was issued.

00:26:35However, the Keeball wasn't about to let Pan Siok off easily.

00:26:40For defying the prosecutor's orders, Pan Siok was temporarily detained.

00:26:45The Keeball smugly threatened to have him fired.

00:26:48But now, Pan Siok was fearless,

00:26:50sarcastically mocking the Keeball's lawyer for taking money without achieving any results.

00:26:55However, due to the team's outstanding performance,

00:26:58higher-ups ordered Pan Siok's release.

00:27:01Upon hearing the news, the team rushed to greet their captain.

00:27:04With the arrest warrant in hand, they promptly brought the Keeball in.

00:27:08Even faced with irrefutable evidence, he remained unfazed.

00:27:12The man who hit the poor boy was finally arrested.

00:27:15Seeing Pan Siok's unwavering dedication,

00:27:18Sa Kaeyong felt a sense of relief and agreed to have dinner with him.

00:27:22They began reminiscing about the past.

00:27:24Later, Sa Kaeyong even leaned on Pan Siok's shoulder.

00:27:28They deeply missed their only son.

00:27:30Elsewhere, Deku was watching home videos of his mother.

00:27:34Two people, two different pains that tormented them day and night.

00:27:38Suddenly, the perpetrator from years ago appeared, chasing Deku.

00:27:42He woke up.

00:27:43It was just a nightmare so terrifying that his hand was clenched tight, bleeding.

00:27:47The next morning, expecting the Keeball to be in court,

00:27:50they learned he'd been released.

00:27:52Instead, the driver was taking the fall.

00:27:55Pan Siok immediately suspected Hany's interference.

00:27:58He furiously confronted the prosecutor, who responded by attacking him first.

00:28:03In his rage, Pan Siok delivered a powerful blow, sending Hany to the hospital.

00:28:08Upon regaining consciousness, Hany vowed to escalate the situation,

00:28:12determined to see Pan Siok stripped of his uniform.

00:28:16Meanwhile, Deku returned to the orphanage where he'd grown up.

00:28:19The director still remembered the bright young boy fondly.

00:28:23Deku's purpose was to ensure she wouldn't reveal any information about him.

00:28:27However, he was too late.

00:28:29Someone had already inquired, and she had answered everything.

00:28:33Hearing this, Deku rushed out to investigate.

00:28:36Spotting a suspicious figure, he charged forward to subdue him.

00:28:39But it wasn't the perpetrator from his past.

00:28:42The real culprit was hiding behind a curtain, watching him.

00:28:45On his way back, Deku remained hyper-vigilant, suspicious of everyone around him.

00:28:50Seeing this, Su Sun tried to playfully approach him, only to be met with an instinctive reaction,

00:28:56as Deku pushed her hard against a vending machine.

00:28:59From one surprise to another, from the keyball's release to the assault on the prosecutor,

00:29:04Pan Siok faced severe reprimand from the station chief.

00:29:08She had worked tirelessly for 11 years to pass the independent investigation law for the police.

00:29:13But this scandal threatened its approval.

00:29:16Before she could finish, the prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant for Pan Siok.

00:29:21This time, even the station chief couldn't protect him.

00:29:24Watching their captain being taken away, the team members were devastated.

00:29:28They decided to secretly investigate the keyball, determined to fulfill their captain's wishes.

00:29:33Upon hearing of Pan Siok's arrest, a disappointed Sa Kyan scolded him,

00:29:38arguing that a police captain should control his emotions and that his actions made him unreliable.

00:29:44Meanwhile, team three split up to search for evidence.

00:29:47Ji Kook and T. Il visited the driver's home.

00:29:51There, his mother explained her son's gentle nature and revealed he had a seriously ill younger sister

00:29:56whose medical bills they couldn't afford.

00:29:59He would never do something unethical like hitting a child.

00:30:02Hearing this, T. Il immediately visited the driver's sister.

00:30:05The sweet child constantly praised her older brother.

00:30:09Later, D. Koo arrived with evidence to exonerate Pan Siok,

00:30:13proving that Hany had intentionally hit his head on the planter to frame him.

00:30:17Simultaneously, he was persuading the driver to confess the truth.

00:30:21Suspecting the driver had been coerced into taking the blame to protect his sister,

00:30:25he shared the story of his own son's death, successfully gaining the driver's sympathy.

00:30:31At the same time, the deputy chief discovered the keyball was planning to flee the country.

00:30:35The team rushed to the airport to intercept him.

00:30:38Ji Kook also found the dashcam footage of the accident,

00:30:42clearly showing the keyball behind the wheel.

00:30:45Meanwhile, thanks to D. Koo's evidence, Pan Siok was released.

00:30:49Witnessing the emotional reunion between the driver and his sister,

00:30:52he felt a pang of sympathy.

00:30:54Fortunately, the driver had a change of heart and agreed to tell the truth.

00:30:59He even provided the recording of the agreement where he'd agreed to take the blame.

00:31:02However, they were still 10 minutes away from the airport.

00:31:06During this time, Su Sun pretended to be the keyball's mistress,

00:31:10provoking his girlfriend into slapping him.

00:31:13Then, D. Koo quickly grabbed a luggage cart and whisked them away,

00:31:17avoiding the keyball's bodyguards, buying time for the deputy chief's plan.

00:31:21Initially, the keyball remained arrogant, claiming they had no evidence against him.

00:31:25But then, the deputy chief arrived with a recording of the agreement,

00:31:30leaving him with no way to deny his guilt.

00:31:32He was arrested.

00:31:33Upon their return, the team rejoiced at Pan Siok's release.

00:31:37He praised their actions and thanked D. Koo for securing his freedom.

00:31:41However, Pan Siok sensed a lingering resentment from D. Koo.

00:31:45Suspicious, he secretly investigated D. Koo's file that night.

00:31:49He discovered that D. Koo had been in the same orphanage around the time

00:31:53the boy in the 11-year-old case disappeared.

00:31:56That night, Su Sun unexpectedly received news that her mother was visiting from the countryside.

00:32:01Having been scammed into paying three months' rent up front,

00:32:04Su Sun was now forced to camp on the rooftop.

00:32:07Jai Kook and T. Il, taking pity on her,

00:32:10agreed to pretend to be her roommates in the dorm so her mother wouldn't worry.

00:32:14That night, they had a lavish hot pot dinner.

00:32:17Her easygoing mother suspected nothing.

00:32:19After she fell asleep, Su Sun bought beers to thank everyone.

00:32:24Meanwhile, Pan Siok apologized to Sok Hyung for punching the prosecutor.

00:32:28Explaining his outburst stemmed from the grief over their son.

00:32:32Understanding his pain, she forgave him.

00:32:34The next morning, realizing he was being investigated,

00:32:37D. Koo went to the records room to hide his information.

00:32:41Unfortunately, while putting on his glasses, he was seen by Su Sun.

00:32:45His face was identical to her high school classmates.

00:32:48As she was about to say his former name,

00:32:51D. Koo quickly kissed her to prevent the captain from discovering his identity.

00:32:55That night, she was so flustered she couldn't sleep.

00:32:58Su Sun couldn't understand why D. Koo had kissed her.

00:33:02From that moment on, they were both awkward around each other.

00:33:05But their shared duties made avoidance impossible.

00:33:08The following day, Pan Siok announced a new case,

00:33:11a fatal stabbing by a gang at a restaurant.

00:33:14The owner, having witnessed the incident, was brought in as a witness.

00:33:18The police presented groups of suspects for her identification.

00:33:22However, terrified of retaliation, she lied.

00:33:25Even though the perpetrator was standing right there, she didn't dare reveal him.

00:33:29Seeing this, Pan Siok approached her,

00:33:31urging her to tell the truth and assuring her of police protection.

00:33:35Coincidentally, this promise mirrored the one Pan Siok had made to his own mother years ago.

00:33:41Hearing this, D. Koo erupted in anger,

00:33:43citing his mother's case 11 years prior as an example.

00:33:47Wasn't forcing a witness to speak putting them in danger.

00:33:50However, Pan Siok countered that ensuring a witness's safety required catching the perpetrator.

00:33:56Because of D. Koo's outburst, he was removed from the team.

00:33:59Frustrated, he took out his anger on a punching bag.

00:34:02From then on, D. Koo was excluded from subsequent tasks.

00:34:07The team was now surveilling their prime suspect.

00:34:09The one who had caused the restaurant owner's visible distress.

00:34:13Suddenly, the man in black contacted Pan Siok,

00:34:16requesting an immediate meeting at the mall.

00:34:19D. Koo followed discreetly.

00:34:21Meanwhile, having waited too long for their suspect,

00:34:24team 3 started cooking instant noodles.

00:34:26This allowed the suspect to escape.

00:34:29Luckily, Pan Siok spotted him at the mall.

00:34:31Alerting the deputy chief, he pursued the suspect,

00:34:34who, realizing he'd been spotted, boarded a train.

00:34:38The police lost him.

00:34:39Furious, Pan Siok berated the team for their negligence.

00:34:43He then assigned D. Koo and Su Sun to stake out an island,

00:34:46a known spot for illegal sea crossings,

00:34:49assuming the suspect would attempt to flee the country.

00:34:52That night, they found a small inn.

00:34:54Unfortunately, it only had one room.

00:34:57D. Koo opted to sleep outside.

00:34:59He then confessed to Su Sun that he didn't like her

00:35:02and that the kiss had been a necessary act

00:35:04for a reason he couldn't disclose.

00:35:06Su Sun accepted his explanation.

00:35:09Despite his tough exterior,

00:35:10D. Koo was afraid of the dark

00:35:12and didn't dare go to the bathroom alone.

00:35:14He asked Su Sun to stand guard outside.

00:35:17To distract him,

00:35:18she resurrected her singing career,

00:35:20performing and dancing outside the bathroom.

00:35:23Watching her, D. Koo smiled.

00:35:24It turned out he'd had a crush on Su Sun all those years ago.

00:35:29At the same time, Pan Siok and Sa Kaeyong's date began.

00:35:33They planned to meet at the location of their first date.

00:35:36However, each went to a different place.

00:35:38After waiting for 30 minutes,

00:35:40Pan Siok realized something was wrong.

00:35:43He rushed to Sa Kaeyong's location.

00:35:45She was still angry at him for breaking their promise.

00:35:48But after he explained that this was the location of their second date,

00:35:51realizing her mistake, Sa Kaeyong shyly forgave him,

00:35:55and they continued their date,

00:35:57their youthful smiles returning.

00:35:59The next morning, D. Koo awoke to news

00:36:01that the man in black had rescheduled their meeting.

00:36:04The previous day's meeting had been canceled

00:36:06due to the man's pursuit of a criminal.

00:36:09Upon hearing this,

00:36:10D. Koo immediately rushed to the new meeting location.

00:36:13However, he encountered a murderer en route

00:36:15and felt compelled to apprehend him,

00:36:17as the criminal's interference had caused him

00:36:20to miss his chance to investigate the man in black.

00:36:23Furious, D. Koo unleashed a flurry of blows,

00:36:26easily deflecting every attack the murderer attempted.

00:36:29Even when the murderer resorted to using a gun,

00:36:31he was no match for D. Koo.

00:36:33Hearing the commotion,

00:36:35Su Sun rushed to the scene

00:36:36to treat her colleagues' injuries.

00:36:38As they escorted the arrested criminal back to the station,

00:36:41the entire precinct erupted in cheers and applause for the pair.

00:36:45However,

00:36:46this meant D. Koo had missed his opportunity

00:36:48to confront the elusive man in black.

00:36:51Later,

00:36:51D. Koo found a secluded spot

00:36:53and made a phone call.

00:36:55To his surprise,

00:36:56the person on the other end was the chief,

00:36:58the very person who had been directing his actions all along.

00:37:01Meanwhile,

00:37:02Pan Seok's suspicions about D. Koo's true identity intensified,

00:37:06leading him to investigate D. Koo's past

00:37:08at the orphanage where he'd grown up.

00:37:11However,

00:37:11the orphanage director,

00:37:12following D. Koo's instructions,

00:37:14presented a different childhood photo,

00:37:16successfully misleading Pan Seok.

00:37:19Relieved,

00:37:20Pan Seok dismissed his suspicions,

00:37:22attributing them to overthinking.

00:37:24He then relayed the incident to his deputy.

00:37:26Even now,

00:37:27Pan Seok remained haunted by guilt,

00:37:30as it was his actions 11 years ago

00:37:32that had endangered the family,

00:37:33leading to the disappearance of their son,

00:37:36who was none other than D. Koo.

00:37:38If he knew D. Koo was alive,

00:37:40Pan Seok would be overjoyed.

00:37:42Suddenly,

00:37:43a new murder case at an apartment complex was reported.

00:37:46Team 3,

00:37:47being in charge,

00:37:48quickly arrived at the scene.

00:37:50The investigation revealed that only two brothers were home at the time of the incident.

00:37:55Both accused each other of killing their father.

00:37:57The police brought them in for questioning.

00:38:00The older brother readily accused his younger brother,

00:38:02claiming his gaming addiction and frequent arguments with their father

00:38:06could have triggered a delusional episode,

00:38:08leading him to commit the murder.

00:38:10Conversely,

00:38:11the younger brother's testimony pointed the finger at the older brother,

00:38:14alleging he killed their father for a substantial insurance payout,

00:38:18noting that the older brother was the first on the scene after their father's death.

00:38:22Analyzing both testimonies,

00:38:24the deputy noted that if the victim had fallen to his death accidentally,

00:38:28his right arm would have been fractured due to a natural bracing reaction.

00:38:32Determined,

00:38:33they continued the investigation the next day,

00:38:36especially since the apartment showed no signs of forced entry.

00:38:39Verification revealed the younger brother had been online gaming for three days straight,

00:38:44while the older brother had returned home after their father's time of death.

00:38:47The complexity of the case prompted Su Sun to reconstruct the scene,

00:38:52trying to determine the difference between a pushed fall and an accidental one.

00:38:56Upon reaching a conclusion, she presented her findings to Pan Siok.

00:39:00However, he had already deduced the same,

00:39:03and her naive enthusiasm brought a smile to his face.

00:39:06That night, heavy rain threatened to collapse Su Sun's tent.

00:39:10She contacted Deku, asking if she could stay with him.

00:39:13Unaware of the downpour, he flatly refused.

00:39:17Minutes later, realizing the implications of her message,

00:39:20he rushed to help.

00:39:21But it was too late.

00:39:23Pan Siok had already taken her to his home for shelter.

00:39:26Arriving at her tent, Deku found her gone.

00:39:29Checking his surveillance camera,

00:39:31he saw her entering Pan Siok's apartment,

00:39:33sparking a surge of jealousy.

00:39:35Coincidentally, as they were enjoying a late-night ramen meal,

00:39:39Sao Kyan unexpectedly arrived at Pan Siok's place for a visit,

00:39:42leading to a slight misunderstanding between Pan Siok and Su Sun.

00:39:47Following this, Deku received news that the CEO who had threatened his mother years ago had died.

00:39:53He rushed to the hospital for identification.

00:39:56Coincidentally, Pan Siok was also investigating the 11-year-old case,

00:40:00leading to an unexpected encounter at the hospital.

00:40:04This cemented Pan Siok's belief that Deku was the missing child.

00:40:08Faced with the accusation, Deku vehemently denied it.

00:40:11By chance, Jai Kuk was also at the hospital performing an autopsy on another victim,

00:40:16leading Pan Siok to assume they were both there for a different case.

00:40:20However, when Pan Siok inquired about a Deku visiting for the examination,

00:40:25the doctor confirmed no one by that name had been there,

00:40:28further deepening Pan Siok's suspicions about Deku.

00:40:32Sensing his identity was at risk of being exposed,

00:40:35Deku arranged a meeting with the chief at a cafe.

00:40:37Their connection stemmed from the time after his mother's death,

00:40:41when the chief became his legal guardian.

00:40:43While not directly involved in his upbringing,

00:40:46she ensured he had sufficient funds for food and education.

00:40:50Because of this, he regarded her as a mother figure.

00:40:53Seeing Deku's distress, she comforted him,

00:40:55assuring him that if the man in black had returned to the country,

00:40:59there would be another opportunity to find him.

00:41:01Back at the station, Team 3 had uncovered the truth behind the victim's death.

00:41:06The two sons, still distraught, continued to blame each other.

00:41:10However, the actual cause was the father's unfamiliarity with cell phones.

00:41:15When his older son called, he couldn't answer.

00:41:17He'd asked his younger son for help, but engrossed in his game,

00:41:21the younger son ignored him.

00:41:23Preoccupied with his phone,

00:41:25the father hadn't noticed a bar of soap on the floor,

00:41:27tripped, and fatally struck his head.

00:41:30Upon hearing this, both sons were overcome with remorse,

00:41:33regretting their past neglect of their father.

00:41:36The incident prompted everyone to think of their own parents.

00:41:39Jai Kuk immediately called his mother for a long chat.

00:41:43T. Il, seemingly having some conflict with his parents,

00:41:46hesitated before ultimately deciding not to call.

00:41:49Deku, with no family left, was deeply saddened.

00:41:53Sitting alone beneath the stairs,

00:41:55Pan Siok, burdened by guilt and recalling Deku's sorrowful childhood face,

00:41:59visited Deku's apartment to request a DNA sample.

00:42:02Jai Kuk, though unaware of the details,

00:42:05trusted that Pan Siok wouldn't harm Deku and kept the matter confidential.

00:42:10Upon obtaining the sample, Pan Siok immediately sent it for DNA analysis

00:42:14and confided in his deputy that Deku might be the missing child.

00:42:18However, his thoughts soon drifted to his date,

00:42:21and he rushed off to meet Sa Kaeyong,

00:42:23enjoying a hearty meal and a leisurely evening stroll.

00:42:27Unexpected rain caught them off guard.

00:42:29Pan Siok pulled Sa Kaeyong under the awning of a shop,

00:42:32shielding her from the spray of passing cars.

00:42:35Touched by his gesture, Sa Kaeyong leaned against him.

00:42:38After five years of separation, they finally shared their first kiss.

00:42:42The next morning, Team 3 received a new case.

00:42:46The perpetrator was holed up in a large building.

00:42:48However, upon Pan Siok's arrival, Jai Kuk was taken hostage.

00:42:53Humiliated, Jai Kuk refused to release his grip on a metal bar,

00:42:57determined not to become a burden.

00:42:59This stubborn resolve ultimately allowed him to overpower the perpetrator.

00:43:03Distressed by his colleague's injuries, T. Il, a former doctor,

00:43:07procured medication for him.

00:43:09T. Il's previous medical prowess had been a source of envy for Jai Kuk,

00:43:14leading to a rift between them.

00:43:16However, this incident helped mend their strained relationship.

00:43:19Next, Team 3 took on another theft case.

00:43:22This time, Su Sun and Deku, preoccupied with arguing,

00:43:26inadvertently let the culprit escape.

00:43:29During the chase, Su Sun's shoelace came undone.

00:43:32Deku stopped to tie it for her.

00:43:34Seeing his unique, 102-style shoelace knot,

00:43:38Su Sun realized he must be her childhood friend.

00:43:41However, he flatly denied it and left.

00:43:44Meanwhile, the man in black visited the National Assembly member.

00:43:48It turned out he was also involved in the case from 11 years ago.

00:43:51He had returned to eliminate the child who had miraculously survived.

00:43:56He was just waiting for the Assemblyman's order to act.

00:43:59Back at the station, the DNA test results arrived.

00:44:03Pan Siok, looking distraught, approached Deku and asked him to meet on the rooftop.

00:44:08The image of the young boy who disappeared because of him flashed through his mind,

00:44:12bringing tears of happiness to his eyes.

00:44:14He thanked Deku for living well and showed him the DNA results.

00:44:18Despite the undeniable evidence, Deku remained suspicious,

00:44:22still believing Pan Siok was complicit in his mother's murder.

00:44:26He vehemently denied the results and left.

00:44:29That night, Su Sun confirmed her suspicion that her partner was her childhood friend.

00:44:33She had been worried about Ju's disappearance and had searched for him everywhere.

00:44:38Now, he was right in front of her, and she couldn't ignore it.

00:44:42Unable to deny it any longer, Deku implicitly admitted the truth.

00:44:47Overjoyed, Su Sun invited him to dinner.

00:44:49She celebrated the reunion by drinking heavily.

00:44:52Slightly intoxicated, she embraced Deku, thanking him for coming back to her.

00:44:57Tears streamed down Deku's face.

00:44:59Meanwhile, Pan Siok told the deputy chief about the reunion.

00:45:04The deputy chief offered comfort, suggesting that Deku's resentment

00:45:08stemmed from not understanding the circumstances surrounding his mother's death.

00:45:12It turned out that after Deku's mother's death, Pan Siok had promised to pick him up in 30 minutes.

00:45:18However, his own son suddenly had an accident.

00:45:21Pan Siok had abandoned the pursuit of the man in black and rushed to the hospital.

00:45:26His son didn't survive.

00:45:28Pan Siok blamed himself for not being there to pick Deku up on time.

00:45:33And this guilt led to his divorce from Sakayun.

00:45:36Every night since, he had fallen asleep looking at his son's picture, his heart filled with grief.

00:45:42The next morning, Pan Siok met with the chief, informing her that he had found the boy from 11 years ago.

00:45:48It was none other than Deku from Team 3.

00:45:51The chief wasn't surprised, revealing she already knew.

00:45:54An angry Pan Siok demanded to know why she hadn't told him.

00:45:59She explained that she had placed them on the same team, hoping to resolve their misunderstanding.

00:46:04However, after Pan Siok left, she had a flashback.

00:46:08She was the one who had given the culprit's necklace to the man in black.

00:46:12Was the chief involved in the case from 11 years ago?

00:46:14At the same time, T. Il's mother arrived at the police station, berating him for working in such a shabby place instead of returning to work at his father's hospital.

00:46:25Sakayun attempted to comfort T. Il, but a missing person case called her away.

00:46:30According to the report, He-Min had disappeared after a period of no contact.

00:46:35The bank had even come to his home to collect a debt.

00:46:37Suspicion fell on He-Min's girlfriend.

00:46:41Team 3 went to her apartment to take her statement.

00:46:44She readily cooperated, explaining that He-Min had told her he would be home late, but never returned.

00:46:50She assumed he had fled with a large sum of money from the bank.

00:46:54With this information, the team returned to headquarters to discuss their next steps.

00:46:59Teams 1 and 3 would collaborate to investigate the disappearance.

00:47:03At the scene, Sakayun didn't hesitate to wade into the mud to search.

00:47:08Luckily, she soon found He-Min's phone.

00:47:11Meanwhile, Jaikook and T. Il collected security footage for the team to review.

00:47:16They watched video after video late into the night, finding no clues.

00:47:21Just as the case seemed to reach a dead end, Su-Sun discovered He-Min's trick.

00:47:26He had disguised himself as a woman after entering a restroom, allowing him to easily evade everyone.

00:47:32At the same time, the assemblyman summoned the chief, informing her that Heung-Chul had returned.

00:47:38After the incident 11 years ago, he had discovered that the boy was still alive.

00:47:43After hearing this, the station chief hastily denied any knowledge of the information.

00:47:48She then immediately warned D-Koo to be careful when alone, as Heung-Chul had returned and was looking to eliminate him.

00:47:55Sure enough, that night, after waiting for T. Il and Jaikook to leave, Heung-Chul snuck into the dorm to attack D-Koo.

00:48:03Hearing the noise, D-Koo hid behind the door.

00:48:06However, Heung-Chul noticed this.

00:48:09The two immediately engaged in a fight.

00:48:11The danger was that D-Koo was only a rookie, so he was no match for a seasoned veteran.

00:48:17While D-Koo was pinned to the floor, Heung-Chul attempted a finishing blow.

00:48:20Although weaker, D-Koo managed to dodge a few critical hits.

00:48:25But in the end, he couldn't hold out for long and collapsed.

00:48:29Luckily, Pan-Seok appeared just in time, kicking the knife away.

00:48:33He was surprised to discover that his opponent was someone he knew.

00:48:36Taking advantage of this opening, Heung-Chul quickly escaped.

00:48:41Team 3, upon hearing the news, rushed D-Koo to the hospital.

00:48:45Fortunately, the stab wound wasn't fatal, so he survived.

00:48:48This incident led to a high-level meeting.

00:48:52They couldn't believe someone dared to enter the police dorms and attack them.

00:48:56At this point, Pan-Seok didn't hide anything and stated directly,

00:49:00the culprit was Heung-Chul, a former police officer and his former partner.

00:49:05When D-Koo woke up, Pan-Seok told him about this.

00:49:08Although a little disbelieving, D-Koo accepted the truth.

00:49:12He just had to stay in bed and recover.

00:49:14Pan-Seok would ensure Heung-Chul paid for his crimes.

00:49:17Leaving the hospital, Pan-Seok instructed Jai-Kook to keep a close watch on D-Koo,

00:49:23never leaving him alone, as the attacker might return.

00:49:27To focus on investigating Heung-Chul's whereabouts,

00:49:30T-Il collaborated with Sa-Kind to close the He-Min missing person case.

00:49:35Upon investigation, it turned out He-Min had undergone gender reassignment surgery.

00:49:40Apparently, He-Min had been transgender since birth.

00:49:43Knowing their family would struggle to accept this, He-Min left home, took out a bank loan,

00:49:48underwent surgery, and started a new life with their true gender identity.

00:49:53And so, the missing person case was closed.

00:49:56Taking this opportunity, T-Il returned home to explain his life choices to his parents.

00:50:02Being a detective was his dream, so he would never return to becoming a doctor.

00:50:06Not long after, Pan-Seok gathered Team 3, excluding D-Koo.

00:50:11He recounted the entire case from 11 years ago and revealed D-Koo's true identity to everyone.

00:50:17He urged the remaining members to do their best to help D-Koo.

00:50:21He then projected Heung-Chul's identifying features onto the screen.

00:50:25Afterwards, T-Il and Jai-Kook returned to the center.

00:50:29Seeing D-Koo about to remove his bandages and get out of bed, T-Il scolded him, saying his wound was getting worse.

00:50:36In his condition, he would only be a burden to everyone.

00:50:40He told D-Koo to rest and recover and trust in Team 3's abilities.

00:50:45Indeed, after a sleepless night studying security footage, Su-Sun discovered Heung-Chul's whereabouts.

00:50:52Immediately, everyone disguised themselves as civilians and approached him.

00:50:55However, having been close partners, Heung-Chul instantly recognized Pan-Seok's presence.

00:51:02Out of respect for their past relationship, he couldn't bring himself to shoot Pan-Seok.

00:51:07Su-Sun and the deputy team leader gave chase, but to no avail.

00:51:12Despite their failure, no one dared to tell D-Koo, knowing he would immediately get up and investigate.

00:51:18Meanwhile, after being hit by Heung-Chul, Pan-Seok was covered in bandages.

00:51:23Su-Sun, seeing this, couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

00:51:27Finally, the day came for D-Koo to be discharged.

00:51:31However, an emergency meeting was called.

00:51:34At the meeting, the station chief unexpectedly instructed Team 3 to move on to a different case,

00:51:39handing over the Heung-Chul case to Team 1.

00:51:42Unable to swallow this, Pan-Seok immediately went to the chief's office to argue.

00:51:47But the station chief argued that this case involved D-Koo's mother.

00:51:52If D-Koo participated, wouldn't that lead to Heung-Chul being killed?

00:51:56Wouldn't D-Koo then have to bear the additional burden of murder?

00:51:59This reasoning seems sound, so Pan-Seok couldn't argue further.

00:52:04But in truth, this decision was orchestrated by the assemblyman.

00:52:08Hearing this news, Sa-Kyan also came to assist,

00:52:11taking over duties so Team 3 could have more time to investigate Heung-Chul's case.

00:52:16Afterward, Pan-Seok sternly warned D-Koo not to lose control of his emotions

00:52:21and to bring Heung-Chul to justice.

00:52:23He shouldn't let the past 11 years of torment culminate in him going to jail for killing Heung-Chul.

00:52:29This time, Soo-Seon was tasked with keeping a close watch on D-Koo,

00:52:33but her energy had its limits, and she unintentionally dozed off.

00:52:38During that time, Heung-Chul contacted D-Koo, taunting him,

00:52:41saying that if he was a real man, he should come to the parking lot to settle the score.

00:52:46Provoked by his mother's killer, D-Koo lost control of his emotions, removed his wire, and left.

00:52:53When Soo-Seon woke up, D-Koo was nowhere to be found.

00:52:56Noticing a gun was missing, she immediately informed Pan-Seok.

00:53:00Alarmed, he rushed back to pick her up, and then tracked D-Koo using his location.

00:53:06Upon arriving, D-Koo was tricked by a recording device hidden behind a car.

00:53:10However, Heung-Chul seized the opportunity and ambushed him from behind.

00:53:14Now armed with a gun, D-Koo quickly hid under the car.

00:53:18However, Heung-Chul discovered him.

00:53:20Just as he was about to die, someone suddenly slammed into Heung-Chul.

00:53:25Watching Heung-Chul being forcefully choked, the image of his mother flashed before his eyes.

00:53:30Therefore, D-Koo decided to save his enemy.

00:53:33The stranger, seeing this, quickly fled.

00:53:36Before leaving, he abandoned Heung-Chul, who now pointed the gun directly at D-Koo.

00:53:41Despite being saved, Heung-Chul showed no gratitude, instead mocking D-Koo for saving his enemy.

00:53:48Before Heung-Chul could pull the trigger, D-Koo risked everything and lunged forward.

00:53:53When Pan-Seok and Soo-Seon arrived, Heung-Chul was sprawled on the ground.

00:53:57It turned out the gun had no bullets.

00:53:59D-Koo, knowing he couldn't overpower Heung-Chul in a fight, had removed the bullets to make him overconfident, and then counterattacked.

00:54:08Finally, after 11 long years, D-Koo had captured his mother's killer.

00:54:12His overjoyed colleagues rushed down to greet him.

00:54:15The entire station erupted in applause, celebrating his achievement.

00:54:19Even the press began reporting the news extensively.

00:54:23The assemblywoman, reading the news, was furious.

00:54:25Fearing betrayal by Heung-Chul, she sent the police chief to negotiate with him.

00:54:31Faced with her death threats, he complied.

00:54:34So, during the interview, he blamed his deceased former boss.

00:54:37Since the boss was dead, the accusation couldn't be verified.

00:54:41The case was closed with Heung-Chul taking the blame for the murder.

00:54:45The true mastermind remained unknown.

00:54:48Even when Pan-Seok, his former partner, interrogated Heung-Chul, he didn't reveal anything.

00:54:54Before being taken away, Heung-Chul showed D-Koo a photo they had taken together years ago.

00:55:00Even now, Heung-Chul still considered D-Koo his closest confidant.

00:55:04At the same time, the assemblywoman discovered that D-Koo was the boy from all those years ago.

00:55:10She summoned the police chief and warned him,

00:55:12That boy has been right under your nose in your own station, and you didn't know.

00:55:17To prove his loyalty, she demanded that he eliminate D-Koo.

00:55:20Faced with this ultimatum, he reluctantly agreed.

00:55:25After the case, Su-Sun suddenly remembered reporting to the police as a child.

00:55:29But it seemed no one knew about D-Koo's disappearance.

00:55:33Finding this strange, they went directly to the local police station from that time.

00:55:38Finally, they found the officer Su-Sun had reported to.

00:55:41They inquired, but were only told that he had gone abroad for business,

00:55:45and it was unknown when he would return to Korea.

00:55:48The investigation was temporarily suspended.

00:55:51Not long after, Su-Sun's mother came to visit her from the countryside.

00:55:56Unfortunately, while shopping, she accidentally took the wrong bag,

00:56:00which belonged to a wealthy woman.

00:56:02Even worse, she accidentally ripped the bag.

00:56:05The wealthy woman met with Su-Sun's mother privately

00:56:08and demanded $50 million won as compensation for the bag.

00:56:11Initially, Su-Sun's mother thought it was a scam.

00:56:14But after seeing the receipt, she realized the bag was indeed worth $50 million won.

00:56:20Seeing that Su-Sun's mother couldn't pay immediately,

00:56:23the wealthy woman brutally assaulted her.

00:56:26The video was also posted online by someone.

00:56:29Seeing this, the team didn't dare show it to Su-Sun.

00:56:32But the reach of social media is vast,

00:56:34so ultimately, they couldn't keep it hidden.

00:56:37She found out and immediately contacted her mother.

00:56:39However, her mother refused to answer the phone out of shame.

00:56:44This time, Deku decided to go to the wealthy family's house himself

00:56:47and request permission to investigate and take her mother's statement.

00:56:51Coincidentally, it turned out to be the home of a national assembly member.

00:56:56To avoid embarrassment, the assemblyman invited Deku inside to talk.

00:57:00Only then did he learn about the seriousness of his daughter's actions.

00:57:04He temporarily dismissed Deku, telling him he'd contact him later.

00:57:08Deku believed him and left.

00:57:11The assemblyman was furious, scolding his daughter.

00:57:14He was about to enter an election cycle,

00:57:16and now she had caused this huge uproar.

00:57:19When Su-Sun returned, she finally reached her mother.

00:57:23Worried, the team captain drove her to her mother's place.

00:57:26Concerned about her mother's embarrassment,

00:57:28Su-Sun asked the captain to wait outside.

00:57:31Her mother's face was horrifically bruised and swollen.

00:57:35Yet, she was determined not to press charges.

00:57:37When she didn't come out for a while, Pan-Seok offered to check on her.

00:57:42Seeing Mrs. Kang's condition,

00:57:43he was heartbroken and promised to bring the perpetrator to justice.

00:57:47According to Mrs. Kang, she just needed to sign a paper,

00:57:51and she wouldn't have to pay the 50 million won for the bag.

00:57:54But after signing, she realized it was a medical waiver.

00:57:57Afterward, the perpetrator brutally beat her.

00:58:00As Mrs. Kang was taken to the hospital,

00:58:03Su-Sun rushed outside, crying in anguish.

00:58:05The team gave her space to grieve.

00:58:08Feeling sympathy for Su-Sun and her mother,

00:58:11T. Il woke up early to make them porridge.

00:58:14Even Deku visited, bringing a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

00:58:18It had been a long time since Mrs. Kang had received such care,

00:58:21and she was very happy.

00:58:23Afterward, the team secretly investigated behind Su-Sun's back.

00:58:27They determined that since Mrs. Kang had signed the agreement under duress,

00:58:31it was legally invalid.

00:58:32They confronted the perpetrator with this information,

00:58:36but she remained defiant.

00:58:38Despite the summons presented to her, she completely disregarded it.

00:58:42Defeated, they had to leave.

00:58:44At the station, the division chief ordered Team 3 to stop the investigation

00:58:48because the perpetrator was the assemblyman's daughter.

00:58:51However, Pan Siop completely ignored the order and left.

00:58:55This angered the assemblyman, who called the station chief to complain.

00:58:58The cunning assemblyman had his lawyer erase all of his daughter's personal information online

00:59:04so that netizens couldn't connect her to him.

00:59:06Next, the perpetrator's lawyer arranged a meeting with Pan Siok and Deku.

00:59:11Outmaneuvered by the lawyer's arguments, they were left with no recourse.

00:59:16They had to quickly find the witness,

00:59:17the cafe employee who had secretly filmed and posted the video.

00:59:22After searching for several days, they finally tracked her down.

00:59:25However, she refused to cooperate.

00:59:28It seemed she had been threatened by the perpetrator.

00:59:31They were kicked out of her house.

00:59:33Furious, Deku yelled at the witness.

00:59:35They had to leave empty-handed.

00:59:37Seeing Team 3's persistence, the station chief met with Su Sun.

00:59:42She advised her to drop the investigation

00:59:44because the perpetrator was the national assemblyman's daughter.

00:59:47Prosecuting her would severely impact the Gangnam police station.

00:59:51Even those Su Sun cared about could be in danger.

00:59:54Su Sun couldn't give an immediate answer.

00:59:57Meanwhile, Deku tried to entertain and play with Mrs. Kang.

01:00:01Su Sun was grateful for his kindness.

01:00:04However, the station chief's request to abandon the case weighed heavily on her mind.

01:00:09Su Sun sat alone in a park, crying.

01:00:12Deku saw her from afar but didn't dare approach her.

01:00:15Seeing the woman he liked in such distress,

01:00:18he decided to investigate on his own again.

01:00:20Without an arrest warrant, Deku had to wait outside the perpetrator's gym.

01:00:25Aware of his presence, she didn't leave immediately.

01:00:28Instead, she had someone bring Deku's personal file to her.

01:00:32Upon reading it, she realized he was the surviving child from the incident 11 years ago.

01:00:38The perpetrator's face suddenly turned pale.

01:00:41The assemblyman, upon hearing the news,

01:00:43didn't seem surprised and immediately summoned his daughter home.

01:00:46Back at the house, she reproached him.

01:00:49Why haven't you dealt with Deku yet?

01:00:51If you don't eliminate him soon, he will become a huge problem.

01:00:55On this side, after careful consideration, Su Sun had an answer for the station chief.

01:01:01She stated without hesitation that a police officer's fundamental duty

01:01:04is to seek justice for the people.

01:01:07That's the true way the state responds to the cries for help from the vulnerable.

01:01:11Hearing this, the station chief ceased pressuring her.

01:01:15Upon learning of this, Deku went to reproach his mother.

01:01:18He couldn't believe that the woman he always respected would make such a selfish decision.

01:01:23However, Deku also knew that the assemblyman was behind it.

01:01:27Everyone seemed to have given up, but they hadn't.

01:01:30Each one was filled with fervor, preparing to continue the investigation.

01:01:34However, they were unaware that the witness was now at Hai's house.

01:01:37She was threatening the witness, forcing her to hand over the original video and confining her there.

01:01:44Searching Hai's villas one by one, they still couldn't find the witness.

01:01:48But suddenly, Deku remembered something upon entering the assemblyman's house.

01:01:52It turned out Hai's had another villa by the lake,

01:01:55but it was registered under her son's name, so it wasn't on the police's search list.

01:02:00After a confirming phone call, Deku and Su Sun went to investigate.

01:02:05Sure enough, the witness was there.

01:02:06Persuaded by Su Sun and coupled with the period of confinement,

01:02:11the witness finally agreed to provide evidence.

01:02:14Overjoyed, they thanked each other and escorted the witness to the airport

01:02:17to return to her hometown and seek refuge.

01:02:20Back at headquarters, reviewing the complete video,

01:02:23they finally had enough evidence to arrest Hai's.

01:02:26Deku then confidently delivered the summons to Hai's.

01:02:30However, she wasn't home, so he gave it to the assemblyman,

01:02:33hoping she would come to take responsibility for her crimes.

01:02:37Otherwise, the police would bring an arrest warrant.

01:02:40Seeing the precarious situation, the assemblyman went straight to the hospital.

01:02:44There, he used a tactic of humbling himself and sincerely apologized.

01:02:49In the end, the naive Miss Jang forgave him.

01:02:52With forgiveness from the victim, the case naturally had to be closed.

01:02:56Su Sun also reproached Miss Jang, but spoken words couldn't be taken back.

01:03:01Everyone left, helpless.

01:03:03Upon returning, the assemblyman warned the station chief to quickly eliminate Deku.

01:03:08Feeling trampled upon, the station chief was naturally furious, but couldn't do anything.

01:03:13Deku went to meet Pan Siok privately.

01:03:16He bluntly confessed that during the outing two years ago,

01:03:19upon meeting Sa Kion, he had fallen in love at first sight.

01:03:23Therefore, he declared he would compete with the team captain.

01:03:27Hearing this, Pan Siok was enraged with jealousy.

01:03:29Afterward, a new drug trafficking case arose, and Team 3 was dispatched to gather information.

01:03:36This time, Deku and Su Sun had to pretend to be lovers,

01:03:40approaching the suspects' table to take pictures.

01:03:43However, the cafe staff were overly enthusiastic.

01:03:46They assumed the two were a couple about to get married and organized a small celebratory moment.

01:03:52Seeing Miss, all the customers stood up and cheered,

01:03:54Kiss her.

01:03:56Seizing the opportunity, Deku passionately kissed Su Sun.

01:04:00Everyone in the car was surprised.

01:04:02Jai Kuk, who also had a secret crush on Su Sun, fell into deep thought upon witnessing the scene.

01:04:09From afternoon to evening, even during meals, Jai Kuk continuously teased them,

01:04:14despite T. Il's constant reassurance that it was just part of the mission.

01:04:18Su Sun took the opportunity to thank her colleagues for helping her mother.

01:04:22That night, Pan Siok's house was suddenly overrun by rats, forcing him to seek new shelter.

01:04:28Initially, he went to the deputy team leader's house,

01:04:31but it was overflowing with five children, and they were planning for another.

01:04:35Having no other choice, Pan Siok went to the rookie's dorm to crash,

01:04:40just needing a place to sleep on the sofa until morning.

01:04:43Early in the morning, Deku noticed the investigation files of his mother's case piled on the table.

01:04:48He realized how much effort Pan Siok had put into the investigation over the past 11 years.

01:04:55This made him see the team captain in a new light.

01:04:58At work, Deku ran into Su Sun again.

01:05:01The awkwardness from the previous day still lingered between them.

01:05:05Surprisingly, however, Deku showed unexpected concern for her today,

01:05:09buying her food a warmth she had never experienced from him before.

01:05:12Meanwhile, Pan Siok suddenly received news that the police officer from 11 years ago had returned.

01:05:19He wanted to inquire about who had taken the missing person report when Young Su Sun came to the station.

01:05:25Due to the time that had passed, the officer couldn't recall who had handled the case.

01:05:30Fortunately, upon mentioning the chief, his memory was jogged.

01:05:34It turned out that the chief herself had taken the missing person report.

01:05:38Hearing this, Pan Siok was momentarily incredulous, as the chief was known for her unwavering pursuit of justice.

01:05:45To investigate further and confirm his suspicions, Pan Siok decided not to reveal this information to Deku just yet.

01:05:53Deku held the chief in high regard, almost like a mother figure.

01:05:57The following day, the assemblyman once again summoned the chief, urging her to comply with his demands.

01:06:02This time, however, she refused to tolerate it any longer.

01:06:07She boldly declared that unless he fulfilled his promise, he shouldn't expect her to be his workhorse.

01:06:13At the same time, Su Sun found a new place to live.

01:06:16The group helped her move her belongings.

01:06:19Deku awkwardly asked her if he was her type.

01:06:22Su Sun was taken aback by the question and couldn't bring herself to answer.

01:06:25Suddenly, amidst the unpacked items, Deku discovered a moon pendant, the one the perpetrator had dropped in front of his house 11 years ago.

01:06:34It turned out that Su Sun had inadvertently picked it up in the science lab after the attacker left the school.

01:06:41When they shared this discovery, the group decided to secretly investigate the pendant's owner,

01:06:46certain that they were the mastermind behind the incident 11 years prior.

01:06:49They temporarily withheld this information from the prosecutor and decided to act on their own.

01:06:55Pan Siok first brought the pendant to Sa Khaing to inquire about its origins.

01:07:00However, she couldn't identify it, but provided addresses of several renowned sculptors.

01:07:06Following these leads, the trio embarked on their search.

01:07:09After several days, they finally found the sculptor who had crafted the moon pendant.

01:07:14According to the records, the owner was Hai as the daughter of the assemblyman involved in the previous case.

01:07:19This discovery surprised them, leaving them wondering about the connection between Deku's mother and Hai's.

01:07:26Without hesitation, they took the pendant to Hai's house to confront her.

01:07:30Upon seeing the pendant, Hai's face paled slightly.

01:07:33However, she maintained her composure and produced her own pendant for comparison.

01:07:38Although it was supposedly unique, there was a possibility of counterfeits.

01:07:43Hai's then made things difficult by refusing to allow them to take her pendant for verification.

01:07:47She argued that even the creator might not remember the exact design.

01:07:52Back at the station, they agreed they needed to find the motive for the crime and the connection between Hai's and Deku's mother to reach a definitive conclusion.

01:08:01Deku and Pan Siok decided to revisit the scene of the crime and interview the local residents.

01:08:07Everyone was overjoyed to learn that Deku was still alive.

01:08:10However, nobody seemed to know anything about Hai's.

01:08:14After searching from morning till noon, they finally encountered an elderly woman who remembered something from that time.

01:08:21She had seen a man in black lurking around the area.

01:08:24His chilling gaze had frightened her, causing her to return home immediately.

01:08:29When shown a series of photos, she immediately recognized the man as Jun's unknown hired thug for the local gangs.

01:08:35Deku and Pan Siok immediately set out to find him and get answers.

01:08:41Initially, Jun's denied any connection to Hai's.

01:08:44But under Pan Siok's pressure, he finally confessed.

01:08:47Eleven years ago, he had seen Hai's leaving Deku's house.

01:08:51This information solidified their belief that Hai's was the true culprit.

01:08:55Everyone was elated with this breakthrough.

01:08:58However, Deku remained sullen and unhappy.

01:09:01He was upset with Su Sun for not answering his question about whether she liked him.

01:09:06Under pressure, she shyly accepted his confession.

01:09:10Seeing this, Deku's mood finally brightened.

01:09:13The next morning, as the Assemblyman was planning his next move,

01:09:17the news of the amendment to the independent investigation law for the police was announced.

01:09:22This meant the Assemblyman had kept his promise.

01:09:25Now, it was the chief's turn to eliminate Deku.

01:09:27However, before that, she had to meet with Pan Siok to clarify everything.

01:09:33There, without any further concealment,

01:09:35she confirmed that she was the undercover officer Hyong Chul had mentioned.

01:09:39She was also the one who gave him the necklace.

01:09:42More shockingly, she was the one who informed Hyong Chul of Deku's location at the school,

01:09:47leading to the attempted murder.

01:09:49At this point, she had no choice but to reveal her motivations,

01:09:53stemming from the oppression by the prosecutors 20 years prior.

01:09:56Every police investigation required their authorization.

01:10:00This posed a risk.

01:10:01If a prosecutor was bribed, the police would be powerless to arrest the criminals.

01:10:06Under this immense pressure,

01:10:07the chief's partner had committed suicide by jumping from a building.

01:10:11Since then, the chief had been determined to do everything in her power

01:10:15to get the independent investigation law passed.

01:10:18For this reason, she had endured 20 years of servitude,

01:10:21working tirelessly for the Assemblyman to propose this law.

01:10:24Hearing this, Pan Siok was deeply disappointed in his superior.

01:10:29In her pursuit of this goal,

01:10:30she had forgotten the fundamental duties of a police officer.

01:10:34Meanwhile, Hy's son went to the police station to meet Deku.

01:10:38Admiring Deku's charisma, he invited him to dinner.

01:10:41However, Deku declined, not wanting to indulge the boy,

01:10:45and then gave T. Il the necklace for safekeeping.

01:10:48This inadvertently put T. Il in harm's way.

01:10:51Two strangers ambushed T. Il, ruthlessly stabbing him in the stomach.

01:10:56Upon hearing the news, everyone panicked and rushed to check on him,

01:11:00worried about the danger Deku had brought upon his colleague.

01:11:03Furious, Deku wanted to confront Hy, but her power was too great.

01:11:08Without concrete evidence, Deku would be the next one in the hospital.

01:11:12Heeding his colleague's advice, he remained calm.

01:11:15The stolen necklace ended up back in Hy's hands.

01:11:18The moment she struck Deku's mother with the vase flashed back in her mind.

01:11:22In her panicked escape, she had unknowingly dropped the necklace.

01:11:26The next day, Pan Siok informed the chief about T. Il's attack.

01:11:30He questioned what Deku might do if he learned the truth about her involvement.

01:11:34Therefore, Pan Siok hoped the chief would do the right thing.

01:11:38He went to the gym to personally serve her as summons.

01:11:40If she refused to comply, the police would arrest her.

01:11:44With a witness now available, she could no longer resist.

01:11:48Witnessing Hy tear up the summons, Su's son immediately stepped forward to issue another

01:11:52warning.

01:11:53Meanwhile, Deku sought out his mother's close friend, revealing that he was Perrin's son,

01:11:58and that Perrin was now Hy's husband.

01:12:01This revealed Hy's motive for the attack jealousy.

01:12:04After much contemplation, Deku visited T. Il.

01:12:07T. Il's father, the hospital director, wanted his son to return to medicine.

01:12:13Otherwise, he was never to show his face there again.

01:12:16At this point, T. Il recounted his story of becoming a police officer.

01:12:20He had an older brother who was in love with another man.

01:12:24Their father, enraged, had destroyed everything in a fit of anger.

01:12:28Unable to accept the situation, T. Il ran away.

01:12:31His brother, chasing after him, was hit by a car and killed.

01:12:35His brother's dream was to be a detective.

01:12:38Now, T. Il was pursuing that dream in his brother's memory.

01:12:41After hearing this, his friends refrained from further questions.

01:12:45Deku went to the park, lost in thought.

01:12:48Later, Zhu Chan, concerned, approached him.

01:12:51She allowed him to rest his head on her lap.

01:12:53The next morning, Deku met with Perrin to confirm that the woman in the photo was his mother.

01:12:59Perrin's expression turned to shock.

01:13:01He then awkwardly asked Deku his age and abruptly left, promising to continue the conversation another day.

01:13:08This exchange was witnessed by his son, T. Il.

01:13:11Deku then visited Hyeongchul in prison, confronting him with the information he had gathered.

01:13:16However, Hyeongchul warned him against digging any deeper, lest his loved ones be endangered.

01:13:21With that, Hyeongchul turned away.

01:13:24When Perrin returned home, Hai berated him for marrying her and then showing her no attention.

01:13:30During dinner, their son blurted out that he had seen Deku meeting with his father.

01:13:34Everyone at the table was stunned and reacted with surprise.

01:13:38The chairman excused himself from dinner and went upstairs,

01:13:42recalling the moment Deku's mother met her husband years ago.

01:13:45Hai had brought her jealousy to the other woman's doorstep.

01:13:48During their conversation, unable to find common ground,

01:13:52Hai slapped Deku's mother hard across the face.

01:13:55Multiple times, in a fit of rage, she even hit her over the head with a vase.

01:13:59Seeing Deku's mother lifeless, Hai immediately called her father for help.

01:14:04Hyeongchul was then sent to the scene to retrieve a necklace.

01:14:08Overwhelmed with anxiety, Hai had to take tranquilizers.

01:14:11The next day, Mr. Park requested another meeting with Deku.

01:14:15However, he denied having an affair with Deku's mother.

01:14:19Regarding his wife's actions, he offered a sincere apology.

01:14:22Hearing this, Deku angrily ran to the lake, yelling and clutching a photo of his mother.

01:14:28Returning, he revealed Hai's motive for the murder, jealousy.

01:14:31Now, before interrogating her, they would take turns going undercover to understand her personality

01:14:37and identify her deepest fears, carefully noting everything down.

01:14:41Learning that his daughter was under investigation, the assemblyman personally confronted Pan Siok.

01:14:47However, Pan Siok preempted him by offering his resignation,

01:14:51stating that apprehending the criminal was paramount, even if it meant losing his job.

01:14:55Furious, the assemblyman summoned the police chief, berating him for his inability to control his subordinates.

01:15:02Back home, the assemblyman instructed his daughter to give a perfunctory statement,

01:15:06assuring her safe return.

01:15:08Confident, Hai arrived with South Korea's best lawyer.

01:15:12Initially, she remained arrogant and uncooperative.

01:15:15The police then implemented a strategy to frustrate her to the point of losing control.

01:15:20Deku then led the interrogation, provoking her by suggesting her husband might be his father.

01:15:26As expected, she took the bait and lashed out.

01:15:29He then pointed a sharp pen towards her eye.

01:15:32Terrified, Hai confessed everything, including attacking Deku's mother.

01:15:36Without hesitation, they charged Hai and sent her to jail awaiting trial.

01:15:41Hearing the full story of the crime, Deku wandered the streets in a daze.

01:15:45Su Sun followed, embracing and comforting him.

01:15:48Meanwhile, the assemblyman remained unconcerned, focused only on the upcoming shareholders' meeting.

01:15:54Finally, Ti Il was discharged from the hospital.

01:15:58Before leaving, he left a thank-you note for his father and returned to his work as a detective.

01:16:03His friends welcomed him back warmly.

01:16:05But before they could talk much, Deku had a scheduled meeting with the police officer from years ago.

01:16:11However, the officer said he had already told Pan Siok everything and Deku should speak to him directly.

01:16:16Indeed, Pan Siok had concealed this from him.

01:16:20Faced with Deku's accusations, he remained silent, lacking evidence.

01:16:25Left with no other choice, they went directly to the prison to question Hyung Chul.

01:16:30If he denied involvement, Pan Siok would apologize to Deku by bowing his head to the ground.

01:16:35However, upon arrival, the warden informed them that Hyung Chul had committed suicide overnight.

01:16:41Stunned, they left.

01:16:43Upon their return, Su Sun presented them with Hyung Chul's suicide note.

01:16:48It indicated evidence against the assemblyman could be found in mailbox 104.

01:16:52However, someone had already gotten there first.

01:16:55Their identity remained unknown as they were completely covered.

01:16:59Soon after, Mr. Park requested a private meeting with Deku.

01:17:03Suspecting Deku might be his son, he proposed a DNA test.

01:17:07If confirmed, he would take responsibility.

01:17:10However, Deku flatly refused.

01:17:13He only had a mother, not a father.

01:17:15His purpose achieved, there was no reason for further contact.

01:17:19Hearing this, Mr. Park burst into tears.

01:17:22Despite his tough exterior, Deku was deeply conflicted.

01:17:25Fortunately, Su Sun offered her support.

01:17:28She was his reason for living.

01:17:29Just when the lead from Hyung Chul seemed lost, Pan Siok discovered the car Hyung Chul had used.

01:17:36Retrieving the black box might yield crucial information.

01:17:40At that moment, Su Sun suddenly realized the scent on the captain was identical to the scent of the person who had retrieved the evidence from Locker 100 for the previous day.

01:17:49She quickly compared a photo of the captain wearing glasses.

01:17:52Indeed, they were the same type of glasses, and the face was an exact match.

01:17:57Just then, Deku rushed in.

01:17:59He happened to notice Su Sun's suspicion of the captain.

01:18:03Initially, Deku didn't believe it, but after looking at the picture, he immediately confronted her with his concerns.

01:18:09The captain panicked, vehemently denying everything.

01:18:13Deku, observing her expression, already had a good idea of the truth.

01:18:17This discovery left him so disappointed that he walked away.

01:18:20Outside, Hai's son suddenly started a fight with him.

01:18:24However, his real purpose was to obtain a hair sample for a DNA test to determine paternity.

01:18:30Meanwhile, Hai was unexpectedly released on bail.

01:18:34The assemblyman had fabricated a mental illness diagnosis for her, and hospital staff arrived to escort her away.

01:18:40Simultaneously, the proposed amendment to the independent police investigation law was also repealed.

01:18:46The captain, upon hearing the news, immediately confronted the assemblyman.

01:18:51The assemblyman, seeing that she was no longer of use to him, turned his back on her, denying any involvement.

01:18:57Furious, the captain took out her anger on her car.

01:19:01Deku and Su Sun, who had been observing her, decided to follow her to uncover the truth.

01:19:06However, after driving a short distance, her car was forced to the side of the road by a truck.

01:19:12They rushed to help her.

01:19:13But her strength had reached its limit.

01:19:16Before passing away, the captain revealed the location of the evidence in her room.

01:19:21Deku, no longer caring about the evidence, held her and wept.

01:19:25Upon receiving the news, the entire precinct arrived to inquire about the situation.

01:19:30The doctor announced that they had done all they could, and the captain had passed away.

01:19:34Everyone stood there in silent grief.

01:19:37Outside, Deku shared his suspicions with Pan Siok.

01:19:41He was certain the assemblyman was the mastermind, as the accident occurred after the captain's meeting with him.

01:19:47Deku and Su Sun immediately went to the captain's house to search for the evidence,

01:19:51but it appeared the assemblyman's men had already been there.

01:19:55Knowing the captain, Deku believed they hadn't found the crucial evidence,

01:19:58as she would have hidden it in an unexpected place.

01:20:01So, they temporarily took the remaining belongings back to the station.

01:20:06The next morning, the chief, after hearing from Pan Siok, also realized the truth.

01:20:11The man he had respected all this time was the culprit.

01:20:14Determined, he went directly to the scene of the accident to investigate,

01:20:18and then rushed to the interrogation room, actively taking statements.

01:20:22Although usually irritable, he proved to be dependable in this situation.

01:20:26While searching for the captain's evidence, Pan Siok stumbled upon an unsent letter she had written to him.

01:20:32He finally understood her true intentions.

01:20:35He should have trusted Deku's belief in her innocence.

01:20:38The captain had repeatedly disregarded the assemblyman's orders,

01:20:41allowing their team to pursue what they believed was right.

01:20:45The following day, the chief confidently presented the evidence,

01:20:48declaring it a premeditated murder, not an accident caused by drowsiness.

01:20:52The video showed the truck driver waiting for over 10 minutes until the captain drove past.

01:20:58Afterwards, they prepared to attend the captain's funeral.

01:21:01Snow fell under the clear Korean sky as everyone paid their final respects.

01:21:06The shameless assemblyman even dared to attend, offering condolences.

01:21:10Seeing the murderer before them and unable to do anything,

01:21:13everyone felt a deep resentment towards the country's authorities.

01:21:17After the funeral, they examined the black box from Hyeong-chul's car.

01:21:21It clearly recorded the moment the assemblyman's lawyer, Kim, gave him money.

01:21:26The chief also delivered grim news.

01:21:28The truck driver had confessed that lawyer Kim had ordered him to carry out the act.

01:21:33It was clear they were using him as a scapegoat.

01:21:36The lawyer gave evasive answers to all other questions.

01:21:39At the same time, Jai Kook delivered more bad news.

01:21:43Hai had been released due to her unresolved mental illness.

01:21:46Her son caused a scene, presenting the DNA test results.

01:21:50The results showed Deku was not related to Perrin.

01:21:53So what was the motive for the murder?

01:21:56Discussing the matter, they still found it hard to believe,

01:21:59as Hai herself had confessed to killing Deku's mother.

01:22:02So now, he had a new idea, to confront Perrin directly.

01:22:06Upon learning they weren't blood relatives, Perrin returned to the assemblyman,

01:22:10pleading to see his wife.

01:22:12He wanted to make up for the lost happiness.

01:22:14However, upon hearing this, the assemblyman mocked him for being a leech,

01:22:18clinging to his daughter's wealth.

01:22:21It's me you're giving demands to now, he scoffed.

01:22:24Finally, Perrin threatened to expose the truth.

01:22:27Fearing Perrin's desperation, the assemblyman reluctantly agreed.

01:22:31Meanwhile, Su Sun unexpectedly found evidence left by the precinct captain.

01:22:36It appeared in the mailbox Deku used to communicate with her, on a tape.

01:22:40The violent crimes unit 3 realized the mastermind was the assemblyman.

01:22:45He had spread the rumor about H's husband having an affair to force her to divorce Paxi

01:22:49due to his supposedly low social standing.

01:22:52However, this led to Deku's mother's death.

01:22:55The captain also mentioned the suppression of personal information

01:22:58to prevent citizens from uncovering the assemblyman's dirty deeds,

01:23:02including bribing prosecutors.

01:23:04Thus, Hasi showed up with his usual arrogance to confiscate all the evidence.

01:23:08In a fit of rage, Deku smashed everything with a club.

01:23:12Seeing this, Hasi ordered him to stop, but Deku, now in a frenzy,

01:23:17disregarded any consequences and took the remaining evidence, leaving immediately.

01:23:22Then, Pan Siok also intervened with a club, stopping Hasi.

01:23:26Faced with the unit's recklessness, they retreated temporarily.

01:23:30Seeing Deku losing control, his teammates tried to calm him down.

01:23:34Pan Siok declared that if anyone had to leave, it should be him, not the rookie.

01:23:38So, he decided to wear his uniform one last time and officially take it off on live television.

01:23:44He boldly announced his resignation to the media.

01:23:48Then, he released all the evidence, including the recording, directly implicating the assemblyman.

01:23:54He declared the information released by the prosecutors was false,

01:23:57designed to conceal the truth from the public.

01:24:00He then urged the public to support Violent Crimes Unit 3,

01:24:04believing their support would bring the assemblyman to justice.

01:24:07After the press conference, Pan Siok was taken away by the Blue House's Internal Affairs Department

01:24:13for disclosing confidential case information.

01:24:16The cunning assemblyman, anticipating the public backlash, held his own press conference,

01:24:21announcing his resignation from this term and tearfully apologizing to the public.

01:24:26He claimed Pan Siok was slandering him and asked for more time to prove his innocence.

01:24:30He even went to the station for questioning.

01:24:34Deku was assigned to interrogate him.

01:24:36However, the assemblyman seemed to have anticipated Deku's questions and answered them fluently.

01:24:42He even provoked Deku to attack him, ordering his lawyer to release the footage to the public.

01:24:47After facing severe disciplinary action from his superiors,

01:24:51Pan Siok was temporarily released on bail awaiting a new trial.

01:24:55He was determined to find evidence during this final month.

01:24:59At this time, Deku discovered a logo on the envelope that lawyer Kim exchanged with Hyung Chul.

01:25:05It was the old logo of the company secretly managed by the congressman.

01:25:09Mimicking the actions in the video,

01:25:11the deputy chief realized the object inside the envelope was likely a voice recorder.

01:25:16To confirm this, they devised a plan,

01:25:18send a picture of the envelope to the congressman and threaten him,

01:25:21saying the police had the evidence.

01:25:24If he reacted strongly, it would confirm their suspicion.

01:25:27Sure enough, by tailing the congressman's errand lawyer,

01:25:31they located the voice recorder.

01:25:33However, as they left,

01:25:34they were surrounded by a large number of the congressman's men.

01:25:38Forced to split up and flee,

01:25:39Su Sun and Deku were unfortunately captured.

01:25:42After verifying the incriminating recording,

01:25:45the congressman gloated,

01:25:46a sinister smile spreading across his face.

01:25:49He played the recording for the two captives

01:25:51and then ordered his guards to eliminate them.

01:25:54Deku offered a more appealing alternative.

01:25:57Instead of being killed by his men,

01:25:59he would take his own life.

01:26:00This way, the congressman's hands would remain clean.

01:26:04In exchange, Su Sun would be released as a witness.

01:26:07She would corroborate the story that Deku was the sole culprit

01:26:10and then commit suicide himself.

01:26:13Intrigued, the congressman agreed,

01:26:15releasing Su Sun and tossing a gun to Deku.

01:26:18However, after seeing his loved one safe,

01:26:21Deku reneged on his promise.

01:26:23He even goaded the congressman into confessing his crimes.

01:26:27Once he achieved this,

01:26:28Deku revealed a hidden camera on his lapel

01:26:31that was live streaming and a voice recorder in his pocket,

01:26:34capturing the entire confession.

01:26:36Enraged, the congressman raised his gun to shoot Deku.

01:26:40At the last moment, Pan Siok arrived,

01:26:42taking down the guards one by one.

01:26:44He aimed his own gun at the congressman,

01:26:46making it clear that if Deku was shot,

01:26:49he would retaliate.

01:26:51Simultaneously, the police arrived en masse,

01:26:53taking control of the situation.

01:26:56The congressman was finally cornered,

01:26:57with no way to deny his crimes.

01:27:00Outside, Su Sun embraced Deku,

01:27:02crying tears of relief.

01:27:04His daring gamble had paid off.

01:27:06Finally, the four friends reunited over a meal of noodles.

01:27:10Pan Siok confessed to his insubordination,

01:27:13arguing that he acted to ensure a brighter future for law enforcement.

01:27:16He believed that without his intervention,

01:27:18the congressman would have escaped justice,

01:27:21corrupting the government.

01:27:22As a consequence,

01:27:23he was demoted to a patrol officer in the countryside.

01:27:27On the day of Pan Siok's departure,

01:27:29the entire precinct gathered to bid him farewell.

01:27:32He adapted well to his new role,

01:27:34investigating chicken thefts and offering comfort to the locals.

01:27:38Some time later,

01:27:39Sa Kaiung took leave to visit Pan Siok in the countryside.

01:27:42Before they could properly greet each other,

01:27:44a chicken thief sped past,

01:27:46and the two instinctively gave chase.

01:27:48The film ends here.
