Miseuteo Sokeurateseu (2005) - full transcript

Asking his imprisoned father for money, threatening a friend who became a murderer by mistake, stealing money from his friends; KU Dong-Hyuk (KIM Rae-won) is the worst scumbag you can ever imagine. Living a low-life existence like a street dog, until one day, Dong-hyuk gets kidnapped by a mysterious gang. Held captive for seemingly no reason, Dong-huk is "trained" by the gang in a secret and inhumane way. Dong-Hyuk tries to escape but fails, which makes the training more harsh and cruel than before. After finishing all the training, the gang orders Dong-hyuk to become a police detective as their secret connection. Once on the inside, he experiences divided loyalties.

I won't be long.
Let go!

Who the hell are you?

Get the manager!

You'll be sorry for this.

You fucking hit me?

Bring it on, asshole!

You fucking...

What the fuck!

Go screw yourself,
motherfucker!



Eat this!

You're gonna be big.

The biggest badass.
Got a problem?

Be a fucking cop then, punk.

That'd be the day.

Who the hell are you?

Mr. Socrates

What the fuck!

A cop?

Let me get dressed.

Pick it up.

Pick it up, asshole!

Attention! Salute!

At ease!



Let's go.

I saw it coming.

He got carried away
after becoming a cop.

Attorney CHO Dae-su

Teacher.

We need your skills
once again.

Pick a better student
this time.

For our business,
we need one that's...

...merciless and inhumane.

A depraved trash.

That's what we need.

One that was born a dog.

When will you grow up?

I'm in the can,
and you ask me for money?

Not asking for it.
Borrowing it.

I don't have any.

I hear they pay you
for your labor here.

I don't work in here.

I have no money for you.

How do I trust you?

I'm your son.

If I weren't your dad,
I would've killed you long ago.

What do you need it for?

To get Dong-pil a tutor

so he can study and go to college.

You expect me to buy it?

I'm your son.

Shut the fuck up.
Don't let him...

...turn out like you

- Please.
- What's wrong with me?

You're a scumbag.

Fuck!

Dad, I'm your son.

Young man?

Young man?

Yeah?

What?

What'd you hit him with?

How's his head?

Is it bleeding?

See if he's breathing.

I'm on my way.

Stupid asshole.

Grandpa.

What?

I was just saying...

You can't smoke in here.

God damn!

I didn't mean to hit him
in the head.

It was an accident.

He got too close
while I was swinging.

- So you did hit him.
- He got too close!

Help me bury him.

Look.

What would I do that for?

Come on, save my ass.

You got money?

What money? I'm broke.

You should pay the price.

You killed your friend
for God's sake.

- I'll forget what you owe me.
- Are you kidding me?

Show me some brotherhood.

Brotherhood?

Brotherhood...

You owe him money,
don't you?

If I get caught,
you're going down with me.

My life is screwed anyway.
We'll rot together.

Can't take a joke?

Ajoke?

We're best buddies,
aren't we?

Kneel down and sir me.

Sir.

Sir!

Look.

Why the hell murder?
Why?

Fine, I'll help you.

Really?
Thanks, man.

Let me go pee first,
and we'll bury him together.

Okay. Don't take too long.

- I'm scared shitless.
- Okay.

You know I'm sensitive.
Shake a leg.

The police? Listen.

I'm reporting a murder.

No, the killer is still here.
Come get him now.

What?

I have to give my name?

It's NOH Mu-hyun.

Who the fuck are you?

Stop fighting, asshole.

Stay the fuck still!

Let's go.

You look like a faggot.

You're a thug,
not a pile of bricks.

What's up with your hair?

Why the hell are we here?

- Why?
- Yeah.

Let me tell you.

Why?

Does anybody else
want to know why?

If so, ask now.

What's he like?

That one? He's one of us.

Nobody likes him, though.
He's a bad ass.

He's the lowest of the lowest
among them.

Wonderful.

You.

What education did you have?

I got expelled from High.

Wonderful.

'When you leave me
out of disgust... '

'... I will let you go
without words. '

This poem...

- Who wrote it?
- Beats me.

Don't interrupt me, asshole!

Pick your answer.

A. KIM Du- hwan
B. LEE Jung- jae

C. Sirasoni, D. KIM So- wol

D.

Write your name.

You kidding me?

In English, asshole!

You passed both oral and
written tests.

Congratulations.

- I passed?
- That's right.

What does that mean?

The syndicate
wants to train me?

Study hard from now on.

He must be tired.
Let him sleep some.

Sleep tight.

Student?

Student?

Get up now.

It's time to get up.

Leave me alone.

You're not ready to learn.

Hi, I'm Jae-hak.

He got into Seoul National University
with flying colors.

Let's get started.

Look ahead!

- Begin the class.
- Okay.

Above all, you need to study
these textbooks thoroughly.

- Look.
- Yes?

Can I ask a question?

What the fuck do you
need to ask?

- Shut up and study!
- Mr. KIM!

Where are we?

At a school.

Are you supposed
to swear at school, or not?

You're a teacher.

Act like one.

Sure.

Damn!

KOO Dong-hyuk,
ask your question.

Yes, Teacher.

What's going on here?

- We're in a class.
- A class?

What class?

Korean, English, math,
and other subjects.

Why should I study them?

Because you're a student.

Oh, I forgot
to introduce myself.

I'm a counselor
in charge of your life here.

Those gentlemen back there
work under me.

I served in the Marine Corps
for 10 years.

For another 10 as a trusty...

...I dedicated myself into
rehabilitating other inmates.

Thus, my experiences
will help you a great deal.

Complement, union, intersection,
relative complement...

Demonstrated in Venn Diagram...

You shouldn't sleep
in class.

That's not being a student.

Follow me to the office.

Awake now?

- Don't sleep in class again.
- I won't.

This is to encourage you
to focus on your studies.

You won't get away this easily
next time.

- What's the reason?
- You need a reason to learn?

- It's a show, isn't it?
- A show?

You just wanna scare me.

The real thing is coming,
isn't it?

The real thing?
What's that?

How to use knives.

You're making me a killer
for the syndicate.

A school producing a killer?

- What for?
- Fuck.

Fuck!

I was sick of studying
I dropped out of high school.

Fuck you.

Teach me how to kill,
motherfucker!

What'd you just call me?

'Motherfucker'?

We're at a temple of learning.

- How dare you!
- Fuck you!

A student shouldn't swear!

This is a school.
A place where you study!

You're a student.
And I'm your teacher.

Don't put me down!

Teacher, that's enough.

I do wanna treat you
with love.

With love!

How many times
have I told you?

How could you not memorize
one thing a day?

Yeah, I'm fucking stupid.

- Huh?
- Come here.

You...

Watch your back outside
at night.

I'll drill a hole
through your damn head.

Sir?

I can't do this.

He scares me so much.

Isn't it stifling to be inside
all day long?

We'll have the next class
out in the open.

It's a math question.

The train is running
at 120 KPH.

The station is 20KM away.

And the train left it
at 10:50.

What time will it get here?

If you get the answer...

...I'll give you this key.

But there's a time limit.

If you go over it...

...your arms and legs
will leave your body.

Quick!

I got it.

Think before you answer it.

- At 11 sharp.
- Correct!

Study!

It's the only way out.

A school?

More like a POW camp!

- What are you doing?
- Playing hooky.

You shoot to death
those who play hooky?

You're neglecting your duty
as a student.

I dropped out of school,
just like you did.

Back then, I was green
and reckless.

But looking back,
I couldn't be sorrier.

If a teacher had guided me
on the right path...

...I wouldn't have lived a life
full of regrets.

Turn around
and roll up your pants.

Close your eyes.
It will hurt.

School where you can dream

You can never be forcedinto studying.

Those who aced the SAT,
for example.

They weren't forced to study.

They studied voluntarily
around the clock.

You think they were beaten
to study hard?

No way.

What the fuck!

Fuck me!

Go in there.

Study this
while you're in here.

Begin the class.

Adolescence refers to a marginal man,
Sturm and Drang...

...and the 2nd birth.

This is very important.
Repeat after me.

- A marginal man.
- A marginal man.

A quadratic formula?

A quadratic formula?

Fuck...

...you.

Are you revolting?

Quit playing.
Why don't you kill me?

Lose the attitude!

If you won't kill me,
expel me.

Nobody gets expelled here.

Dropping out is possible.

Only in a plastic bag!

I'll drop out.

I won't study.

Remember?
You went through that.

They're your juniors.

Aren't they fresh?

Especially that one.
Isn't he your brother?

How nice.

He's determined to follow
his big brother's steps.

His eyes are sparkling.

Give him a knife,
and he will whack anyone.

He's very ambitious
and knows how to fight.

We might put him
on the field right away...

...though that might hinder
your studies.

Your bother down on the street
with a broken skull...

It'll break your focus,
won't it?

Right?

Studying saves the nation
and the syndicate.

And beloved ones as well.

Let me ask you again.

A quadratic formula?

A quadratic formula?

AX...

The square root of AX plus...

When BX is C...

Hard to memorize?

Apply it to things around you.
It makes it a lot easier.

The 1st law of motion is
the law of inertia.

The 2nd law of motion is
the law of acceleration.

The 3rd law of motion is
the law of action and reaction.

- 'Men are an index of all things. '
- Protagoras.

'A law is a law, however
undesirable it may be'

Socrates.

- 'Return to the nature. '
- Rousseau.

'Nothing could be more pleasurable
than learning. '

Confucius.

Teacher?

What if...

What if I don't pass
the GED test?

Study for one more year.

Fuck...

If so...

I'm dropping out.

Try to relax.

I have faith in you.

You reach the announcement
of passers for GED 2004.

Please press
the examinee's number.

You passed it.
The AGP is 68%.

Good bye, Teacher.

Wait.

We're not done yet.

There's one more test left.

Recruit of Police Offiicers

Dong-hyuk?

Considering
what you've accomplished...

...this should be a piece
of cake.

I believe you can pass it.

Study!

It's the only way out.

I can't. No way.

You've been teaching me
to become a cop?

You don't want to?

I do. I fucking love it.

Why wouldn't I?
The police have the license...

...to beat up people.

Let me read your palm.

Fortunately,
you have a long life line.

When you become a cop...

...don't do anything stupid
to get killed on the job.

What's wrong with you,
Dong-pil?

- Bro.
- Didn't I tell you?

I said I'd kill you
if you messed up again.

Fuck you.
You were a thug, too.

'Fuck you'?

Don't you dare to swear
in front of me.

I'm a cop now.

But you were a thug.

That was the period
of the second birth.

The period of Sturm and Drang.

Study.

It's the only way out.

Study?

Do you have any idea
why I became a thug?

I didn't want you
to become the likes of me.

I wanted to make money
like a dog...

...and give you a normal life.

Dong-pil.

Bro!

I wanted to treat you
with love.

With love!

Okay.

I will do whatever you say
from now on.

Good.

I know you too well.

For you...

Words won't do.

Pledge to him that
you'll never mess around again.

Dad, I will be good.

What happened to his face?

I gave him a lesson
to grow up.

You did?
How about yourself?

I've almost grown up.

Is that so?

Look at you.

What's up with the uniform?

I didn't wanna live a life
that you'd led.

Is that so?

When you get out this time,
be good.

- Your son is a cop now.
- No shit.

Fuck you.

Blow into it, sir.

I'm not drunk.

- Come on.
- I said I'm not drunk!

You don't believe me?
You don't?

Call the Blue House.
My friend works there.

He has strings to pull.
So what?

- You deal with him then.
- Why should I?

KOO stopped him.
It's his shit.

I'll talk to him nicely.

Okay.

Sir?

You have to do it again.

Why is this...

Damn, you drank a lot.

Did I want a traffic cop?

There's a problem.

He's been typical of him
since he became a cop.

He's considered a black sheep
at the station.

Teacher.

How old are you?

How would you feel
if I tell you to act your age?

You fucking...

Make him a homicide detective.

It's been exactly 10 days
since BAEKbroke out of jail.

The police have been flooded
with countless tips about...

We should get him.

Why should we?

He's a bad guy.

A bounty has been posted...

...and the police have set up
various checkpoints.

He contacted his girlfriend
on his way to the south.

And he has a friend living
in this area.

Doesn't it smell?

- What smell?
- You're so stupid!

Yes, I can hear you.

That Hammer guy
knows the area well.

Right.

Get him ASAP.

BAEK is from Mokpo
and the current address is Gunsan.

Call the syndicates in the area
for help.

Let's go.

Where's BAEK?

I already told the police.

We're not pigs.

Relax and tell us.

Turn it off.

It's him, alright.
Hit him!

The police have no tips
on BAEK's whereabouts.

The police says...

Are you done?

Let me see him.

Now?

It's been a week.
I miss him.

Please, no more.

You like it here?

Wanna stay longer?

No, no way.

Do you wanna stay here
or go back to jail?

Please, send me back to jail.

I wanna finish my time
nice and easy.

I'm begging you.

Go then.

I can?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

No, I can't thank you enough.

I'm so grateful.

A lot of our boys are in the can.
They'll be nice to you.

Thank you.

How can I repay you?
I owe you big time.

Once I go back,
I'll try to be a trusty.

I'll persuade others
not to break out of jail.

I'll tell them
it's cruel out here.

I'll kill you all!

I'm a dangerous guy.
I'll kill you all!

I have nothing to lose.
So I don't care.

The police are here.
Don't move!

- Fucking Police, too.
- Can you hear me?

Of course!

You're talking into a bullhorn
for God's sake!

Wanna fucking hear it?

Release the hostages and surrender.

Surrender?
You can kiss my ass!

Fuck you, asshole!

What are your demands?

The very question I wanted.

Officer KOO Dong-hyuk!

- What?
- God damn.

Give me a bullhorn
so I won't have to yell!

Officer KOO Dong-hyuk
from Juyup branch.

Get his ass here.
I'll give you 10 minutes.

Or I will kill everybody!

I'd be happy to go to jail!

Officer KOO speaking.

It's been 10 minutes!

- Sir!
- You think you can fool me?

Think again!

Get me a watch!
One that works well!

- You're KOO Dong-hyuk?
- Yes.

- It's been a while.
- Do I know you?

Stop pretending
that you don't know me.

They still can see you.
Come inside.

- Or I'll kill her!
- Fine.

I hate guys like you, KOO,
with a strong sense of justice!

You sacrifice yourself
for the public...

...and put the nation
before yourself!

You know how upset I got
in the can?

You're the one
that I broke out of jail for!

Work with me here.

Don't move!
Don't move!

You have to arrest me
with a style.

So help me out here.
We're fighting now, okay?

Don't move!

Wow, you sure can fight!
Here I come!

So fast!

I'm not bleeding.

Blood!

As long as you live,
there would be no crimes!

All my life...

I've lived surrounded
by those trying to kill me.

I've always needed a wall
to keep me safe.

And I finally found one.

You know what it is?

It's the law.

The law you abide by.

Isn't it ironic?

Who would've guessed
that the law would protect me?

However, there's a hole
in every wall.

No matter how small it is...

...it could bring down
the whole wall.

I'll keep that in mind.

I spent good 3 months
on that report.

What?

Insufficient evidence?

I'm not saying
we should arrest him now.

We don't even know
his whereabouts.

I'm just asking to expand
the investigation.

Why always lower your tail
at the mention of his name?

Did I say you were a dog?

I didn't say that.

Fucking asshole!

Okay then.

Fine, I will.

'Carefully and thoroughly'
my ass!

What are you doing?

Mr. Prosecutor says
we don't have enough evidence.

Go pick up some scumbags!

- Who are you?
- I'm KOO Dong-hyuk.

KOO Dong-hyuk?

I can't believe
they sent us a green rookie.

Why Homicide?
You get fucked around here.

I don't care.

- What?
- Come here.

Okay.

We can't afford to waste time
training a rookie.

Go bring him in.

- What's his name?
- Don't know.

- On what charge?
- You'll figure it out.

Get your ass out of here
and get him.

Fucking stupid!

So nice.

Hey, Longhair.

Hey!

Get back here!

Damn... Wait!

What did I do wrong?

It's not you.

I'm sorry.

I got the wrong guy.

The wrong guy?

Hold your freaking horses,
will you?

In a minute,
I'll make you keep coming.

You'll be in heaven.

- Oh, it's you again.
- What the...

Somebody tipped me...

...that this guy was here.

I'm sorry. Bye.

Motherfucker!

Forgive me.
I didn't mean to say it.

Come on, I'm older.
Please, don't hit me.

You're bleeding. Wash it off.

I will.
Every nook and cranny.

What's this?

- They're Viagra.
- Why'd you grind them?

Yeah, why did I?

My throat is so small
that it's easier to take that way.

And it works better.
That's how I like it.

Crazy ass. Bye.

I'm sorry.

Wait. Look, Detective!

Huh?

Why?

Who the hell do I look like?

You look exactly like him.

This guy and I look alike?

What do you have
for eyes?

I don't look anything
like him!

Take a look.

Eyes.

Nose.
Mouth and moustache.

You both have them all.

I'm sorry.

- You're sorry?
- It's your crime to look like him.

It's me, asshole.

Do you know
what Dong-su's up to lately?

You do, or don't?

I've been living in hell
because of him.

Yes. Right.

You do?

Where is he?

Where?
Where the hell is he?

Stand straight.

They're cold cases.

Prove that it wasn't luck
this time.

Open up.
It's me Dong-hyuk.

My friend!

I know you killed him
by accident.

- Be glad that I got you.
- Get your hand off me!

What's wrong with you?

- Did you eat?
- God damn it!

You turned in, right?

Answer me. Right?

Yes, you did.

You're cool.

What's wrong? Come on.

Who are those fucks?

They're members of
rival gangs.

Who tipped you off?

This kid from another gang is
my informant.

It doesn't matter.
We can put them all away.

If we call for backup now,
we'll lose most of them.

Get me an ambulance
if my head cracks.

It's been a while, man.
How are you?

Those bastards!

You know him?

I don't know

We've shed enough blood.
Let's truce.

Stab that asshole!

Sons of bitches!

Who are you?
I've never seen you before.

Me?

- I'm not with you, asshole.
- What?

- He's with me.
- What's this?

- Call for backup now.
- You were good.

I've never lost to anyone.

Frankly speaking...

...I did better back in school
than those prosecutors.

How come a bad ass like you
look more cop than me?

I'm not a bad ass.

Why did they expel you
from high school then?

For I was a marginal man.

The period of the 2nd birth.

The period of Sturm and Drang.

I didn't know back then,
but I do now.

Know what?

- Ethics!
- Ethics?

I studied it for the GED.

How to live a good life is
all in the ethics book.

What's in the ethics book?

A view on life.

'Nothing could be more pleasurable
than learning. '

It's that famous phrase...

...by Confucius.

- That's your view on life?
- It's changed a bit.

Since I'm a cop,
I have a new one.

What is it?

'A law is a law,
however undesirable it may be. '

Socrates.

Let's make a deal.

I'll take care of you.

In turn, you help me.

There's this guy above me
that I detest.

He's a damn prosecutor.

I wanna bring him down.

To do that...

I gotta nail JANG Tae- chun
that he shelters.

You've heard of him?

He's been hiding out
for 10 years now.

Nobody knows where he is
and what he's up to.

Decide while I'm gone peeing.

On a second thought...

I'm your boss.
You do what I say.

What the fuck!

Fucking asshole!

Look where you're going!

- He looks like a pig.
- A pig?

I should beat him more then.

You're a pig, too?

Do I look like a pig
to you?

Hey, Socrates.

I like your philosophy.

Police, Me, Syndicate

Hello?

Yes, Teacher.

Welcome, Detective KOO.

He's nothing but a trash.

He extorted money
from street vendors...

...and gangbanged those girls
working at clubs.

He's an animal.

Furthermore, he betrayed
our family.

He's not worthy of life.

He should be dealt with
by the law.

But the problem is...

It's those who enforce
the perfect law.

They know shit about the law
and enforce it.

You put him in jail,
and he'll be out in a few years.

That's against the intent
of the law.

We have the right
to enforce the law.

That's justice.

Justice of our own!

You have a gun, right?

Execute him
in the name of the law.

I'll take care of all the
legal issues.

The Criminal Code, Article 21-2,
conditions for self- defense.

'When the benefit and protection
of the law is violated... '

'... one acts accordingly
to prevent it. '

Your life was threatened...

...which was against the benefit
and protection of the law.

That's self-defense.

Teach him well.
And be worth of your salt.

This was an exercise.

Expect what's coming.

You...

You didn't teach me.

You bred me.

As a dog...

- Are you shitting me?
- Stop it!

I understand you were forced
to do what you did.

And that scumbag got
what he deserved.

However...

I don't recall telling you
to go after him.

Was it personal?

Write it down.

You crossed the line here.

You disobeyed my order
and acted on your own.

It's a report.
Write down what I say.

'Captain SHIN ordered
an investigation on OH Ju- tae'

'Facing him with a weapon
in the middle of a pursuit... '

'... the use of a firearm
was unavoidable. '

The Funeral

What's this about?

I just wanted to treat you
to lunch.

Let's go.

That son of a bitch!

Sit, Teacher.

You son of a bitch!

You have some balls
to show up here!

Let go of me.

He killed my brother!

- It's chaotic, isn't it?
- You fucking killing machine!

Why don't you kill me, you shit!

Calm down. Please.

It's not much,
but help yourself.

I couldn't get any lower
in life.

No matter what it was for,
you pulled me out.

You helped me get a career
and a view on life.

You always say
students have duties to fulfill.

By the same token,
cops have theirs to fulfill.

- What are you saying?
- You picked a wrong guy.

Like I said,
I couldn't get any lower.

Anyone who messes with me
will get hurt.

- Who messed with you?
- Don't you know?

Are you threatening me?

You're my teacher.

- I'm not your teacher.
- Yes.

You're the only teacher
that I've ever had.

Didn't you tell me?

If you had had a teacher
to guide you on the right path...

...you wouldn't have been
where you are.

And I have one.
I have you.

Help me.

Give me a chance
not to live like a dog.

Let me live without being
called names, Teacher!

Tae-chun has looked after me
for over 20 years.

He hasn't.

He just tamed you as a dog
to train dogs.

I guess so.

And I've become useless.

I took them
from one of the boys.

That's your lead.

And do me a favor.

Don't die.

I don't wanna lose the only
student of mine.

It's good, but I won't like
living on it.

- Is it good?
- Fuck!

You again?

Why do you keep
bothering me?

God damn it!

Don't swear before a cop.

Are you gonna arrest me
for swearing?

Go ahead if you can!

Show me the pills.

- What pills?
- That Viagra you had.

Viagra?

You can't get it up?
What a shame.

They didn't work for me
so I threw them out.

If you cooperate...

...I'll tell my boss
I found them on the street.

Go find some then.
I don't have any.

You can beat me up
if you find any on me.

- You have 10 seconds.
- 10 seconds, okay.

- One.
- One.

- Two.
- Two.

- Three.
- Three.

- Four.
- Four.

- Five.
- Five.

- Six.
- Detective KOO.

- Seven.
- Wait!

We're cool. You found them
on the street, okay?

Have some dumplings.
Dip them in soy sauce.

Smuggled in from China?

They were made to look like
fake Viagra.

What an idea.

Put together all the evidence
that we've collected on him.

Analyze all the leads
carefully and thoroughly.

We need to have the report
for the prosecutor.

It's same as before.

A few more paragraphs
won't make a difference.

Pills that look like Viagra,
that's all we have here.

- It's solid evidence.
- Captain SHIN.

He has the best lawyers
that money can buy.

- This isn't good enough.
- Let's arrest him first.

- Arrest JANG Tae-chun?
- Yes.

- Have you located him?
- We will now.

There you go.
You're at it again.

Proceed with the investigation
without him in custody.

- Without him in custody?
- Yes.

Assaults, blackmailing,
extortion, human trafficking...

We can indict him
with over 100 charges.

Now he's involved
in drug trafficking.

He hires kids who are
under 20.

High school dropouts, mostly.

Those kids are becoming felons
because of him.

He's been trying to make
his businesses legitimate.

If we don't get him now,
we never will.

You're a talker, aren't you?

You're too sensitive and emotional.
That's the problem.

You think you're a vigilante
protecting this society?

The society works just fine
without you.

We don't have a case
unless we have evidence.

Do it again.

Carefully and thoroughly.

Get me evidence,
not suspicion.

This stack of files won't
do us any good.

Don't try to be a hero,
or you get fucked.

- Hello?
- Hello, PARK.

- Is this a good time?
- Hold on.

I think we're done here.

It's okay. No problem.

What are friends for?

Who are you?
Do you know who I am?

Thomas Hobbs
and Niccolo Machiavelli.

What's the theory on human nature
that they both addressed?

Choices.

There's none.

What are you doing?

The answer is
the doctrine of original sin.

Men are born with sins.

Therefore, men should be
beaten up to be forgiven.

Get up.

Teacher, why did you?

You think I'm a fool?

If a student strayed,
you should've set him straight.

KOO Dong-hyuk...

He didn't stray.

You have too much love
for your student.

Let me show you
what a true teaching is about.

You fuck me up,
and you get fucked, too.

Like this!

What should I do with him?

Should I bury him?

He's useless to us.
So he has no reason to live.

Yes, sir.

I've heard about the teacher.
That's enough.

No, sir.

The order should be kept.

The order?

What's the order?
It's my words.

God damn it!

Throw him out.

You hit him, didn't you?

No.

I'm glad you did.

It's not good
for our investigation, though.

- Hello?
- Detective KOO.

Yes.

Let me tell you
what shit you're in.

Hold on.

Bro!

- Captain.
- Yeah?

Let me borrow the car.

Sons of bitches!

The great detective comes in.

Dong-hyuk, it's been a while.

Get him!

Mom's not coming back.

Stop crying!

Dong-hyuk,
when's Daddy coming home?

You only have each other
in this world.

Even dogs don't bite
their masters.

What were you thinking,
digging up our dirt?

I'm your senior.

I studied here, too.

I was once a thug as well.

So I understand you.

Quite confusing, isn't it?

Which is right and wrong?

You know what?

Nothing's right.

I'm sure
they forced you into it.

I'll forget about it.

Think of the future.

If we stick together,
nothing can stop us.

And your brother over there
will be proud of you.

So proud of you.

Nothing on earth is right.

It's to kill or to get killed.

Which are you gonna be?

You come too often.

When I was little...

...you lied to me
that you were a cop.

I believed you and told my friends
that you were a cop.

But...

That watch you got me
for my birthday...

You stole it
from our class monitor's house.

You know how that
made me feel?

Why digging up the past?

Then I decided...

...that I'd never lie
to my son.

That I'd tell him the truth...

...either a cop or a thief.

There's a thin line
between a cop and a thief.

When a guy like you is a cop,
it's the same thing.

Dad.

You know the difference
between cop and a thief?

A thief has no view on life.

But a cop does.

A thief dies a thief.

And a cop dies a cop.

Time's up.

- Bye.
- Wait, Dong-hyuk.

I'm sorry.

Stop coming here.

It's embarrassing
that you have a thief for a father.

You've grown up.

You're digging your grave.

You have a minute
to answer the question.

If you fail, your damn mouth
will be kissing the train.

Where's JANG Tae-chun?

- What?
- There are no choices.

Beats me.
How should I know?

I really don't know.

30 seconds left.

I'm nothing but a minion.
I don't know where he is.

20, 19...

Wait!
I can take a guess.

10, 9...

I once drove CHO
to this place.

But I'm not sure
if it's JANG's residence.

Please, let me live.

That's all I know.

- You ready?
- Am I ready?

Yeah, ready to pick him up.

Stay focused.
It's not gonna be easy.

You're worried about me?

Time has come, sir.

- You're finally free.
- Yes.

I think so.

Hiding out isn't a good thing.

But...

...there's one thing
that bothers me.

I raised a dog
to guard the house.

But that dog has forgotten
his place...

...playing the master now.

You misunderstood, sir.

That'll never happen.

I'm Captain SHIN, Homicide.

JANG, you're under arrest...

...for drug trafficking
and other countless charges.

On what basis, Captain?

We'll place him under our custody.

That's when there's a possibility
for him to stifle evidence.

But there's no evidence
against him.

Don't worry, Captain.
We have concrete evidence.

What's that?

It's all over the floor.

What are you doing?
This doesn't help our case!

Captain.

You know the 3rd law
of the law of motion?

Action and reaction.

You treat a dog like a dog.

You treat a trash like a trash.

You son of a bitch!

Watch your mouth to a cop.

You've gone insane.

You forgot?

It was me who made you a cop.

I'm not your dog.

You knew each other?

Put your gun down.

Why do I feel that
you've deceived me all along?

Explain that first.

Captain.

You need to sacrifice for me.

You didn't forget who you are,
but it was too much.

It's what you taught me.

Pick up the gun.

Pick it up.

CHO!

Sir?

Start over from the bottom.

You still have so much
to learn.

Yes, sir.

Dong-hyuk, you don't deserve
to be a cop.

Cops never throw away
their guns.

Why?

Because it's their responsibility,
whatever it's sued for.

You made things easier for me.

Sir?

Forgive me, sir.

I'm too old to star over
from the bottom, asshole!

Why did you?!

We could've made a great team.

I'd like to blow your head
this instance.

But you need to be my dog
once for all.

Don't shoot!

Go after them!

- Senior.
- 'Senior'?

- You've violated the law.
- What?

Son of a bitch!

Violation of Traffic Law.

What the hell are you?

- A cop.
- And you shot your captain?

I didn't shoot you,
but the bulletproof vest.

How do I trust you?

I want a thorough report
on my desk.

We did a sting operation.

He took your gun
and shot me.

I'm your boss. Do as I say.

- Okay.
- Hey.

Did you have to be so
damn crazy?

I just enforced the law.

- The law?
- The Criminal Code, Article 21-2.

'When the benefit and protection
of the law is violated... '

'... one acts accordingly
to prevent it. '

Get up, Student.
It's time to get up.

You're not ready to learn.

What the hell
are you boys wearing?

Do they recruit anybody
these days?

You have to have a view on life.

Don't tell me you have one.

'A law is a law,
however undesirable it may be. '

Socrates.
