A KILLER PARADOX
My goodness!
How can you scare your mom,
sneaking around like that?
What are you doing here?
You didn't mention
Well, since you're here,
go throw this away.
Oh, did you come over to eat?
I don't have anything prepared.
- [Tang] Are you going somewhere?
- I'm going to church.
Oh, speaking of which,
do you want to tag along?
Oh, no, no.
Actually, I'd prefer to go alone.
When Yeong comes back,
just order some takeout with her.
[door slams]
[menacing music plays]
[woman] Are you serious?
Really? He actually said that to you?
How could he say something like that
when he's the one that cheated?
You should've pulled out all his hair
and humiliated him.
You can't just let him be.
You have to dump him.
- That asshole deserves a good pruning.
- [Jang] Excuse me.
- Why tell me this now?
- [Jang] Excuse me.
Sorry, one sec. Customer.
Yeah?
What's the price?
[woman] The small ones are 30,000 won,
the big ones 50,000,
the medium ones 40,000.
- Pots, 6,000. Tell me when you decide.
- Which is small?
- What?
- [Jang] I mean
- Three years?
- [sighs]
[woman] Oh! Oh, my goodness.
How could he do this
behind your back for three years?
You're an idiot.
How can you not notice
that for three years?
- [TV playing]
- [man] Oh, welcome.
Hey, uh, do you have one of those
juice gift sets?
The box with handles?
PREMIUM JUICE SE
[Jang sighs]
Sir, could you get me a new one?
This one is really dusty.
- [door opens]
- [shopkeeper sighs]
Yeah, I'll go grab a new one. [scoffs]
Picky bastard.
[sighs]
[glass clinking]
[clinking]
[sighs]
[footsteps]
[woman sighs]
You could've put the trash in the bin.
Next time you come,
at least buy some flowers.
He's your dad.
It's not like you come every day.
[tuts] You only get one father.
- For goodness' sake.
- Father never cared for flowers. Hmm?
The only one he liked was
the hibiscus on his rank insignia.
[sighs]
I'm gonna go.
[woman groans]
- Why even bother coming?
- [Jang sighs]
Have you been losing weight?
Hey. Have you been skipping school
and drinking again?
What are you saying?
Listen, you really can't slack off
on any of your studies right now.
Not because of your working holiday.
You were just like this before too.
Up until you joined the army, that is.
Oh, are you going to college
just to get kicked out? Huh?
- Unbelie
- Hello.
Oh, hi, hi, hi!
Hello. Hi. Good to see you.
I don't even want to think
about those days.
You're not that young anymore.
You're grown.
- Don't be so
- It's not what you think.
And I can always retake the classes
and get the credits.
Do you think I don't know that
because I didn't go to college?
Hey! If you're going to retake classes,
that costs double the normal amount,
doesn't it?
Yeah. If you get two academic
probations, you're out.
- Oh! Deacon Kim.
- Right? And you are
Oh, hi. Hello! [laughs]
- You look so lovely!
- Oh, I do? Ah!
- Aah!
- [chuckles] Yeah, thank you. So do you.
[gasps] And this must be Tang.
You should say hello.
Oh gosh. He's tall.
And what about Yeong's wedding?
It's tough, right?
Oh, well, I've taken care of the stuff
that was complicated for her already.
I'm just getting the two of them a small
apartment, so they can take it easy.
This one's all grown up, too,
and he's going abroad soon.
- Wow. Really?
- [mother] Yeah.
- [woman] Where?
- Australia, in fact. Honey, come on!
[woman] That's great news!
- [woman 2] Hello!
- [mother] Oh, hello.
[man] Because Jesus Christ was crucified
on the cross, we are now saved
Listen, when your father retires, we can
live off his pension, as small as it is.
So don't worry. Just go and work hard.
[man]we know what it is to do good
We can't afford to help you study abroad
like some other parents would be able to.
But we won't burden our kids.
Understand?
Hold onto this.
LOTTERY TICKE
- [mother] Don't ever smoke marijuana.
- Jeez.
And wear condoms. Stay safe.
- All right?
- All right.
- [man] He is the salt of the earth.
- [sighs]
Ah! Listen, did you hear about the guy
who was killed
near the convenience store
that you work at?
[man]life of grace and mercy
Oh, honestly, he had it coming.
It was God's retribution, surely.
Oh, how could such a thing happen?
Goodness.
[breathing shakily]
[man sighs]
[Jang] Why are you all standin' around?
We're getting heat
for not catching Yeo Bu-il before he died.
The bosses are givin' us crap about
arrest numbers goin' down for cold cases.
And the chief called up the captain,
so we're all walkin' on thin ice.
- Why is everyone standing around?
- Well, we're gettin' some heat for, uh
You jerk. Why are you buyin' us coffee
when you get paid peanuts?
- Seriously. Come on
- It's fine, sir. Have some. No?
Have some coffee, here.
- Great work, everyone.
- Ah. Thank you.
[Yong-jae] There's one for everybody.
- Here you go. Did you all get one?
- Hey.
- Come here
- [Yong-jae] Sir?
You keep goin' back to see that cute girl.
[Yong-jae] Is she cute? I hadn't noticed.
- [cop 1] We'll sing at your wedding.
- You got it wrong. It's not like that.
- What are you naming your kid?
- Uh, sir.
- Sir.
- Hello, sir.
- Oh.
- [Yong-jae] Hello, sir.
You all heard, huh?
Sir
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Get it together, everyone.
Don't wait until next month
to get started.
Start getting ready now.
Use this opportunity,
and get those awards and promotions, huh?
- [all] Yes, sir.
- Yep.
Okay, then get to work.
- Sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Hey. Detective Jang.
- Yeah?
Look, you need to stop
fixating on that guy.
- Don't try to be a lone wolf.
- [Jang] I'm not fixating.
- What's that about?
- [boss] Come on.
- [Jang] I got it.
- Well, there was a guy we couldn't catch.
[Yong-jae] Who was he?
A cop, just like you.
A cop? A cop on the run? Whoa.
- That's messed up.
- [cop] Eh, well.
Every detective has that one perp
they want to catch more than anything.
- Ahem. Detective An.
- [Yong-jae] Yes, sir.
We have a simple saying.
Being a detective here is like
riding on top of a really thin line.
Mm.
It's fine if you can
keep your balance on it.
But if you were to slip,
you go back to an average citizen.
- Mm-hmm.
- If you're lucky.
But if you fall on the other side,
that means prison.
If you don't wanna go to prison,
you run away.
That's how it goes in this life.
[man] Here you go.
Feel free to reach out
if you have any issues.
You're all set.
Thank you.
[door] Have a good day.
Have a good day.
Have a good day.
Have a good day.
What are you doing?
Oh.
It's the The door seems misaligned.
[Eun-seon sighs] Jeez.
Don't you just hate that sound?
All that "Have a good day!
Have a good day!"
whenever anyone comes or goes.
It's like it'll kill us
if we don't have a good day.
If that thing breaks,
you'll know the reason.
The manager is psycho
for keeping that thing.
[cheerful tune plays]
Huh?
- Yeah, the the manager totally is
- Yes! Time to go.
[door] Have a good day.
[rattling sounds]
Shit.
Hello.
Let me know if you need anything.
[woman] Can I get a pack of Raison French?
Raison
[bleep]
[fly buzzes]
[tense, up-tempo jazz plays]
Hmm. Mm!
Oh, also,
two million won.
What?
You need to give me two million won.
Hmm? In cash, that is.
Um
I don't understand.
[laughs]
You look stunned!
You know me, don't you?
[swallows]
[woman] Huh?
You should.
Do you know me?
Ugh, the fuck is wrong with everyone?
What they see is all they care about.
Look.
[chuckles]
These.
You think I'm blind, don't you, huh?
But I can still see a bit, you know.
[giggles]
So how was it? Huh?
To murder that guy.
[breathing shakily]
[laughs happily] Aah!
Ah, never mind that. Uh
How much do you make
from working here, then? Huh?
Do you make anything?
It's like I'm talkin'
to a fuckin' brick wall.
[sighs] Oh!
Hmm. It must be so easy to dox you
with such a unique name.
Anyway
Uh, think about it, okay?
Two million.
[door] Have a good day.
[chuckles]
Oh, by the way,
I'm not seeing any hammers, huh?
[laughs]
Anyway, please have it ready by tomorrow.
[trembling]
[door] Have a good day.
[echoing] Have a good day.
Have a good day.
Have a good day. Have a good day
[tense music playing]
- Bye!
- See you!
- I'm wearing tiger boxers today.
- [gasps] Jesus.
- With a giant tiger face.
- So what? I'm busy.
Besides, I have to study for that test.
- Where are you going to study?
- Someplace quiet.
- Someplace quiet?
- Hey, listen. Tang called me earlier.
- What'd he say?
- He asked if he could borrow some cash.
That bastard must have gone crazy.
He texted me the same exact thing.
- It's so weird.
- Yeah.
- Should the three of us talk about it?
- With Tang?
With the tiger.
[panting] Fucking shit!
I've never seen
anyone ask for a refund for a phone.
I mean, it's not like
the phone has issues.
You took the screen protector off too.
There's nothing I can do for you.
[echoing] You can pay
for the phone in full
and resell it as used to somebody else.
People do it all the time.
That's all I can suggest.

Go ahead. What is it, hmm?
- You quitting?
- Huh?
- Uh, no, that's not it.
- What is it, then?
Uh I have a situation.
I was wondering
if you could pay me in advance.
- For the whole month.
- Oh, gosh.
Hey, do you remember the guy
who worked all my overnights last year?
Oh? Remember what happened
after I paid him in advance?
He gambled all the money away
and disappeared.
It was a complete nightmare to deal with.
I spent six months
trying to catch that guy.
I've never paid anyone
in advance ever since then.
You get it, huh?
- I'm being honest with you without
- Yeah, I I understand. I really do.
- But that's not me.
- Come on.
You know how I work.

It's not like the school is that far.
You keep going back and forth
What the Tang!
[chiming]
The longer you have this type of account,

That's why I wouldn't cancel this.

What the
[boss] What the heck?
- [sighs]
- [boss] Jeez.
Hello, sir. What are you doing?
[boss] It's not making the sound.
- Damn it.
- [Tang] I wonder why.
What are you doing with that bag?
You're working.
[Tang chuckles weakly]
Ah, I see. You getting ready to leave?
It's way too early.
[chuckles] No.
You're not gambling
with that money I gave you?
- What's in there?
- What? Oh, no way.
- Better not.
- Okay.
- You're early today.
- Listen.
I saw this weird woman
on my way over here.
She creeped me out.
She's blind, I thought.
Only it felt like she was staring.
And she was just standing there all alone,
her head turning to the side and back.
- So fucking creepy.
- [door opens]
Hey!
HOUSE WITH BLUE DOORS
BY THE YONGUN INTERSECTION
CASE REPORT: BLUNT WEAPON ASSAUL
ON POLICE OFFICER, 2004, UNSOLVED
Nan-gam.
Yeah.
[boss] Just focus on your life.
Stop trying to get this guy.
Stop trying to get vengeance
for what happened to your father.
- It won't do you any good to obsess
- Vengeance?
Why would I try to avenge my father?
I'm not some teenager.
All right, you disrespectful son of a
You wanted us to catch
guys with suspended charges.
- So I'm reviewing these to get promoted.
- You punk.
Just 'cause I've known you since you were
a kid, doesn't mean you can talk back
[laughs]
Hah! [laughs]
Ah, jeez. You've gotten
so soft in your golden years.
- You little [laughs]
- I don't even wanna dodge that.
[man] Hello, sir.
Hey. Please make sure you eat.
And this clock is dead, by the way.
[Jang] See you later, sir.
[suspenseful music plays]
- [man 1 on TV] You excited?
- [man 2] I don't know.
They don't look like they're cut out
for this sort of training.
[woman] Did I keep you waiting?
[TV continues quietly]
[laughs]
Hey!
You can change the channel
if you really want.
That's actually the only show I watch.
You know why?
I watch it because dogs can't lie.
[tuts] Individuals,
on the other hand, I just
Ugh.
[TV] He bared his teeth and barked.
- Then he pounced.
- [dog snarling]
[woman] So, uh
How was it, huh?
[TV] For all animal lovers
You seemed a bit nervous.
Here you go.
That's my only cup in the house.
It's expensive coffee, though,
so it should taste good.
I've just been watching you to
to find out if you're
a person I can trust or not.
[chuckles]
Have you noticed? Huh?
Look! [chuckles]
I've been carrying on
a conversation all alone here. Huh?
If you keep acting like this,
like you're mute,
how do you think that makes me feel?
[sighs]
Then again,
I guess that's fair.
I was acting like I couldn't see.
[laughs]
Seriously, though,
I was genuinely shocked that night.
Just think about it, huh?
I take night walks because I hate people,
and then I saw one dead.
[sighs] Then, and
once again when I watched the news.
Hmm.
By the way, uh
did you kill the other guy too?
N-no.
I-I didn't.
Huh.
Now you speak. [chuckles]
That's what I thought. [giggles]
[woman] Hmm.
Show me the cash, huh?
[intriguing music plays]
Ah.
Ah. Two million. Well done.
- Could you stack them up for me again?
- Okay.
So, you're gonna
keep quiet about it, right?
Hmm, sure will. Mm.
So, um, I give you this,
and we have a deal then, right?
- [rustling]
- [woman] Yeah, yeah, of course.
Oh, I'm sure you remember,
but it's every month, okay?
Two million.
Huh?
- Wait. You never said that.
- [chuckles] Sure I did.
I mean, isn't it obvious?
Don't you have any common sense?
For fuck's sake.
I mean, are you crazy?
[Tang] What?
I'm asking if you're crazy.
Oh, come on, man.
You're making me an accomplice here.
[breathing shakily]
Who would do something
this dangerous for two million?
Huh?
Pay me at the end of every month.
Actually, your payday works fine for me.
We can figure out the details later.
Oh, and bring 50,000 won bills next time.
[laughs]
Oh! [sighs]
My dog Rex just had to bring this home,
when I was fucking annoyed already
because of the rain! [laughs]
Aww.
That's just how Rex is.
He's always so curious.
He's always bringing stuff home
and wandering off somewhere.
Huh!
That's why he couldn't
make it as a seeing-eye dog.
They said I wasn't blind
enough to apply for one anyway.
So, we're like this little, uh, shitty
[laughs]
pair, or somethin'.
Duet? Oh! [gasps]
Look at us! A trio now!
What do you say? [giggles]
[groans]
That was just a joke.
You should laugh.
Oh!
Listen.
Folks get angry
when they stop getting paid, don't they?
When that happens, well
what would you do, huh?
You'd go and speak to your boss.
But then, what's the point, really?
It's better to report your boss
to the Labor Administration.
[gasps]
Only, for me, it would be the police,
not the Labor Administration.
Oh!
I'll give you two million won.
But I'm taking this.
[woman] Lee Tang, class of 2024 at Usang.
I mean, it's a shithole,
but it's not jail.
What, do you wanna ruin
your sweet sister's wedding?
Oh, and what was it?
Oh yeah. Your mom goes
to Daeseok Church, doesn't she, though?
[gasps] Oh.
Well, then, I guess she won't be able
to go to that church anymore.
[music stops]
[Tang breathing shakily]
Oh
[sighs]
Honey.
I'm talking to you, huh?
Do you think that taking that
changes things?
No, it will make things worse.
What's the word? Oh, forensic science. Oh!
Forensic science is so thorough nowadays.
I know that your DNA is
all over my house already.
You know that if I testify
and the cops look your way,
they'll turn your house
upside down in a second.
[gasps]
I mean, then, it'll be game over in days.
I know a thing or two about this.
Involuntary manslaughter.
Even if that's the only charge,
you'll get put away for 15 years.
And once you get out,
you'll be an ex-convict.
So what would you do then, huh?
Listen, I only want to help.
I'll help you not get caught.
Do you want that?
Or not?
[trembling]
And if you choose to be good,
I'll give you a deal.
You won't have to go to jail
or become an ex-con.
And didn't you say
you wanted to go to Australia? Huh?
If you keep the payments coming,
I'll let you visit, okay? Hmm?
Do you want that?
Beg, then.
Help me.
Say it nicely.
Please help me.
[echoing] Good dog.
[birdsong]
Hmm?
[upbeat, happy music plays]
[groans]
[echoing] Come here!
Huh.
Shit, I must have misjudged you.
[panting]
[Tang grunts]
[shudders]
[groans]
[squelching]
[panting]
[echoing thud]
[metal squeaking]
[woman 2] Come on, let's go.
All right. Good boy.
Let's go.
- [whimpers]
- This isn't our house.
Come on.
[motorcycle draws up]
[metal squeaking]
What the
- [beeping]
- [radio chatter]
[coughs]
So she hasn't been taking the milk inside,
so you looked over the fence.
And have you ever run into her
or ever seen her face before or anything?
- Huh?
- I'm asking if you knew her.
- Or if you've ever spoken with her before.
- Oh. No.
So you don't know her. Okay, I got it.
I might be getting in touch
with you later.
- Oh.
- Here, take my card.
I need you to text me
at this number today.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay. You can go now.
- Uh
- Yes, you can go.
- Okay! Thank you.
- Thanks for your time.
- [sighs]
- [cop 2] Oh, hi.
- We finished inside.
- All right. Thank you.
- Have a good one.
- Thanks.
- Bye, thank you.
- Bye. Bye.
So. Did you remember to check his alibi?
Uh, well, he delivered her milk here, and
- He looked over
- Go after him, now.
- Yes, sir. I'm sorry.
- [engine starts]
Scuse me.
I just have a few more questions.
Man, what's with this neighborhood
these days?
In my 20 years here,
never seen anything like this.
Exactly. Just what the hell is all this?
Shit
[whispers] Hey, looks like revenge.
We'll have to see the autopsy results.
But just look at how damaged the body is.
- [cop 2] Hmm?
- [Yong-jae] Sit.
Is the dog also blind? Can't he tell
what's food and what isn't?
Gosh, would you look at that?
[Jang] I guess
she wasn't completely blind.
[Yong-jae] Down. Down.
- Well, it might be for her family.
- [Yong-jae] Down!
[Jang] She lives alone.
- [Yong-jae] Hey!
- [Rex barks]
[cop 2] Maybe she just listened to it.
- Oh! This is 8K!
- [commotion outside]
- [cop 3] Hey, what's that idiot doing?
- [Jang] What?
[cop 2] It's really expensive!
- Stop it, all right?
- [cop 3] Ugh, that idiot.
- [Yong-jae] Come here.
- [cop 4] Put a leash on the dog! Moron!
[cop 2] Jeez! Why are you being so loud?
Quiet down. I'll go down.
Jeez, that clumsy idiot.
What do we do with him?
- Ugh! Why can't they control a single dog?
- [cop 4] Hey! Hey!
- [radio chatter]
- You can't do that to trained dogs.
Hey, let me handle it. Come on!
Yeah, come here, boy! Come here!
[Rex growls]
[all yelling]
[cop 2] Don't let him escape.
[yelling and barking continue]
DAEJEON DAESEOK CHURCH
SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH THOSE
WHO ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED!
[cop 5] Get down! Let's get him!
[shouting and barking continue]
- Get him.
- Huh? Hey, hey!
[cop 2] How many cops
do you need to catch a dog?
- He's trying to dig his way out.
- [Yong-jae] Stop it.
- [cop 4] Get him!
- [cop 2] What's with this dog?
- [cop 5] I told you
- [cop 4] Grab the lead, tie him up.
- [cop 3] Here, hook this up to the leash.
- [Yong-jae] Okay, right.
- Stay.
- [cop 5] Here, put this on him.
[Yong-jae] Sit. Good boy. Sit down.
Ugh, seriously.
INSURANCE PAYMENT RECORDS
[cop 3] Hey.
What?
What is it?
Tell me.
[dynamic music plays]
Sir, you should come see this.
[cop 2] What the heck is this now?
Huh?
Did forensics leave?
[cop 6] They'd been missing for over
five years, so they were reported dead.
As for Seon Yeo-ok,
we couldn't find the cause of death
at the crime scene.
Ah. There were some items of note,
such as impact blood spatter, a moka
pot, a paper cup, and the milkman.
Now, we are approaching this
as an active crime investigation,
but we can't be sure quite yet.
Also, uh
You can see here, um,
that the body has decomposed,
and the entire wound area
is far from intact.
So, uh, we're not sure what details
we'll get out of the autopsy.
Is that so? [sighs]
And what about the bones?
- Hey. The skeletons.
- Yes?
- Th-the bones?
- Yes.
Well, um,
the two skeletons will
also get an autopsy tomorrow.
- We'll wait for the results.
- [boss] I see.
[groans]
[boss] Let's skip
Team Four's briefing today.
All right. Hmm? Anything to add?
[Jang chewing]
[intriguing music plays]
[Tang] I learned something new.
Humans can survive without any food
for four days.
On the second day of starvation,
you start crapping liquids
instead of solids.
And you don't feel hungry anymore.
Human life is resilient.
No.
Human life is easy to take.
- [sighs]

[music stops]
32 MISSED CALLS
BOSS (15), GYEONG-HWAN (13), MI-YEONG (3)
It wasn't involuntary manslaughter,
accident, or self-defense.
It was murder.
[sighs]
So why is no one coming to arrest me?
Yes, we ran the paper cup, coffee beans,
and the fingerprints on the moka pot.
We gave them a run-through on AFIS,
but the ninhydrin reaction
showed nothing special.
- N-ninhydrin?
- Mm, ninhydrin.
- Sure, that. I know that. Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
And the coffee samples didn't show
anyone else's DNA either.
- Mm.
- Everything else was covered with saliva.
Huh?
Yes, saliva.
Dog drool.
The dog must have licked all the surfaces
that had fingerprints on them.
The door handles, the tables, the floor.
There was dog drool everywhere.
- Oh.
- Mm.
Yeah.
Did you find anything
in those samples of dog poop
that I had submitted to be tested?
The dog poop?
Judging by your face,
I'd say you're innocent.
[cop 7] Don't pick up
if Reporter Park calls.
[cop 8] Yes, sir.
What the heck is this?
- Why a dog in the station? It's bad luck!
- [cop 8] What's with the dog?
- To send a fecal sample to the NFS.
- Bring some salt!
[cop 8] Salt? Yes, sir. Okay.
Why didn't you just
send the dog there instead?
[cop 6] Come on, go easy on him.
He's only trying to help.
So? Did you find anything?
- You think I would be here if we did?
- [cop 7] Jesus.
Everything in there belonged to the girl.
- [cop 7] Look after that.
- All that time, we didn't find shit.
[cop 8] Are we sending the dog
to the district office?
- What about the family?
- [Yong-jae] Uh
Don't even get me started.
I talked to her family this afternoon.
They asked why
we didn't have him killed already.
They said that he might attack people.
[cop 8] So they'll put him down?
[cop 6] What a waste.
[creaking]
[sobbing]
[sobbing]

[Gyeong-hwan] Hey, I know you're home,
you crazy idiot!
I saw the meter go up on the ground floor!
Hello, ma'am. Hi.
Right, so, I haven't
been able to reach Tang.
He hasn't been coming to school,
and he's not taking any of my
I got you, you son of a
What's up with your face?
Is something wrong?
Hey. Shut up.
Uh, you little shit!
I came because I was worried.
Oof! [groans]
Do I look like a fucking pushover?
- You son of a bitch.
- [groans]
- [groans]
- For fuck's sake, come on.
- God, you're an idiot.
- [key turns]
Ah, you dumbass.
You're the dumbass.
You remember the tablet
you had in high school?
I'm the one who stole it,
but you didn't even know, you jerk.
[panting]
You know what's funny?
I knew it was you.
We were both fucking losers.
I didn't want to fuck up my life. Huh?
So I pretended I didn't know.
And then you started
being nice to me. Huh?
Did you regret it?
It was really confusing.
I couldn't tell if you were
a good or bad guy.
You thought I wouldn't know, asshole?
[scoffs]
Have fun rotting in the gutter forever.
You shithead.
And keep this.
You fucking asshole.
For fuck's sake. Jeez.
[sighs]
[clears throat] So things are going
to get messy, all right,
once news of this gets out.
Do not let yourselves become distracted
by anything that happens.
Just focus on the investigation.
- Understood?
- [all] Yes, sir.
[papers rustling]
- Kang.
- [Kang] Yes, sir.
So tell me, how is the evidence so slim?
- [boss] Proceed with caution
- She brewed her coffee in a moka pot.
But then she poured it into a paper cup
when she already has regular cups.
- That's strange.
- [Jang] This.
It's murder. I'm absolutely sure of it.
There was definitely
someone else with her that day.
Someone she drank her coffee with.
[inhales sharply]
I think I could find something big
if I just dig more into this thing.
- Why don't you talk to the boss, then?
- [Kang] Trust me. I'm sure about this
'Cause there's no proof.
- [boss] You still talking to that shaman?
- [Kang] Well
All right, wake up.
Why don't you just
sleep right on the floor, huh?
Uh, what am I lookin' at?
Well, it should've been
decided earlier, but
[groans]
there was a whole argument
about who was going to do it.
And, well, we lost.
Take that document with you,
the dog too, and they'll take care of it.
You can just use the van.
It's open 24 hours.
Mm. So he's getting put down.
Hey, uh, I gotta take him?
You're the only one here right now.
Why'd we even bring him
here in the first place?
- [keys jingle]
- Catch!
[cop 2] You're open 24 hours, right?
Oh, uh, can I get there a bit later?
Uh, around 30 minutes, I guess?
Right. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Okay, thank you very much. Okay.
What's goin' on?
Why are you pullin' me so hard?
It's like you're not listening
Hey, what are you doin'?
- You can't just go in there!
- [growling]
- [barks]
- What's in there?
- [barks]
- You're making a racket. Come here.
- Come on.
- [ballad plays]
[loud sniffling]

DECEASED, BLIND WOMAN IN DAEJEON
FOUND TO HAVE MURDERED HER OWN PARENTS
[mysterious music plays]
[Tang] I learned one more thing.
I realized the people I killed
had deserved to die.
Fuck me.
I murdered two people,
but there's no evidence.
I guess I won the lottery.
- Fuck, aren't we in trouble for real?
- Why?
I might be an accomplice in this.
- Hell yeah. Buy one, get one, bro.
- Ah, shit, man.
Your parents will pay and settle this,
right? Won't they?
- Right?
- I don't know. I don't know.
- Jae-jun?
- Stop it.
- Uh, they will, though, right?
- Cut it out.
- Okay. They'll take care of it, though?
- I don't fucking know!
- They have to.
- Mom'll kill me if I get in trouble.
Let's go to yours.
- I already told you my mom's there.
- Oh?
Let's just go to the sauna, you idiot.
Stop giving me shit, asshole.
I'm sorry, all right?
I'm fucking sorry for everything.
- Let's just go to the sauna.
- Cigarette.
Huh?
- Fuck. Fucking hell.
- Come on.
I must have dropped them.
- Cut the bullshit, dumbass.
- I'm serious, you idiot.
- Don't have 'em.

- Fuck's sake. It wasn't easy to get them.

He ain't shit.
He's soaked in blood right now.

On your left down the street.

Wait, come back.
