ALL CHARACTERS, EVENTS, LOCATIONS
AND INCIDENTS ARE FICTITIOUS
(JIYONG GROANS)
(GASPING, GROANS)
Traitor Kim Jiyong.
Die.
(GROANS)
Let's kill the Vigilante
and bury him here.
And then, become a police officer.
Join the force,
and let's work together.
(GROANS) Hey.
Sir.
Is this also
what the Vole, Eom Jaehyub,
ordered you to do?
(GROANS)
(GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
(GROANING)
I don't care
whether you arrest me or kill me.
I don't care what the world calls me!
Because this is my calling.
The calling that's perfect for me,
because I have nothing to lose!
It's to become a devil
to kill other devils.
I'm sure you already know
what Chairman Kim and the Vole are up to.
Don't just talk about it and show me
that the law won't let them have their way
and will punish them!
Show me your justice really exists!
If you show me,
I will follow you.
Or I will prove it to you instead!
Illegal activities
can destroy great evils.
(PANTING)
VIGILANTE
Just as I said,
finish the handover by this week.
Was it your decision?
I've done my best to stop it.
While you wait reassignment,
I'll subsidize the wages
taken out for educational expenses,
so clear your head as you rest.
Is it because of Sewool?
Do you believe the conspiracy theory
on the news too?
I'll be also transferred next week.
So step down as team leader
as soon as you complete the handover.
Understood?
Understood, sir.
Dismissed.
That fucking son of a bitch, I'll
Sir! Hello, boss.
Remember who ordered you
to kidnap Choi now?
Pardon?
I already told you I don't know that
(BREATH TREMBLING)
Is the Vole involved or not?
I just move when Mr. Bang tells me to,
so I really don't know that much. I swear.
Where is Mr. Bang?
The Squeezer
The brainless fat bald bastard
that I told you about the other day.
I think he knows where Mr. Bang is.
The Squeezer.
GANGOK: Jiyong.
(HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING)
You're the real deal.
I was right after all.
I heard you talk
with that bastard Jo Heon.
He may be huge,
but you crushed him
both logically and morally.
So if he ever
tries to stop us again
then I'll step in.
I'll kill him.
So chin up, Jiyong.
You have me.
I almost forgot the most important thing!
(PANTING)
The perfect timing.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
And a solo shot.
(LAUGHS)
Hello, everyone. This is REPO25h.
Before we begin, we'd like to apologize.
Reporter Choi Miryeo,
who had been leading this program,
did not fact-check before pushing coverage
of the late Yeon Jaehak
and his connection to Sewool's
illegal website operation,
and she has taken full responsibility
WHO WILL TELL THE TRUTH NOW?
by resigning.
First and foremost, we'd like to apologize
to Chairman Kim Samdoo
of Sewool Future Resources.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKER)
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
(SIGHS)
JIYONG:
HELP CHOI MIRYEO KEEP REPORTING
Good work, everyone.
Why don't you go take a break?
Come on.
-Let's go.
-All right.
Goodness. What do you think?
Do you like it?
Supporting me with all this
Thank you so much.
No, I should thank you.
I was worried you might refuse my offer.
But since you trusted me
and accepted it, I'm so glad.
What's your relationship with Kim Samdoo?
Well
If I supported Chairman Kim
who supports vigilante activities,
I thought I'd get something in return.
I really want to find the Vigilante.
Now that you have your office,
what's your plan?
I'll expose in earnest
what Chairman Kim has done.
So that the government agencies
can't help but investigate.
-And after that?
-And
when the investigation
slows down and starts to fizzle,
I'll set the stage for the Vigilante.
So the public will get
the most satisfaction.
(SCOFFS)
I guess you've realized
that we're on the same side.
(SCOFFS)
Hello, everyone.
I'm Choi Miryeo,
former reporter for REPO25h.
The slogan of V News
is "Boldly and truthfully,"
and we promise to report
the news boldly and truthfully.
And this may sound like a joke,
but while investigating for news,
I will never commit suicide.
If I die, I guarantee
I will have been murdered.
Even though no one's come forward yet
and I don't know how I'll end up,
I believe it's the media's true duty
to reveal the truth.
I believe that those
who believe in justice will join me.
And I believe that all of us
fighting for justice are vigilantes.
One thing became clear
while I was covering the news.
The man we call the Vigilante
is already fighting against them.
Maybe it's going to be a long fight.
But if you join and support us,
it'll be a great help.
We will go all the way. Thank you.

I'LL FOLLOW YOUR NEWS
I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!
STAY SAFE
DON'T STAY ALONE
You son of a bitch. So it was you.
You leaked the information.
Come here, you bastard.
Come here!
You think you're scaring me with this?
You I will kill you.
Quiet.
-Hey.
-Yes?
Kill him.
(STUTTERS) Kill? Kill who?
I'm giving you a chance.
For me, protecting my informant
always comes first.
Now, one of you two has to go.
You know what I mean, right?
(SCOFFS, LAUGHS)
Look, pig.
It seems you're trying to scare me.
But I'm the Wasp.
I'm not going to fall for that.
What are you doing?
Just stay still.
I won't make it hurt.
I'll make it quick, okay?
Stay away, you crazy bastard!
Stay still, you fucker!
What the fuck are you doing, you bastard?
-Shut up, you son of a bitch.
-(GROANS)
Stop.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
-Hey.
-Yes?
Are you kidding me?
You can't kill a person who's tied up?
Give me five seconds. I'll get it done.
I'll do better than him, sir.
-No, sir! I'm better!
-No, he's not!
You saw it. I'm tied up,
but this bastard couldn't do anything!
He's brainless.
-Shut up, you fucking moron!
-You're the fucking moron!
-Bastard!
-Shut up! No, you are!
Who can find Mr. Bang?
-Raise your hand.
-Me.
VIGILANTE CASE FILE
This is absurd.
It's been a while
since the Vigilante appeared.
But he's arrested only petty criminals,
and there are no leads.
And when he announced
we arrested the Vigilante, it was a lie.
And he's not even here for the handover?
This team's disbanded as of today.
Go back to your original teams.
You can stop calling
the former team leader.
I'll find the files on my own.
Guys, let's go get something to eat.
-Okay.
-Let's go and work.
After all he's done

MAN: Yes, Pastor.
I already got a call.
I understand.
I've converted all the money into QQ Coin.
I'll get rid of all the records today.

Why did you run?
GANGOK: Because it's thrilling.
Jiyong, just accept me already.
If we join forces,
we can achieve many more things.
As you asked, I got an office for Choi
and a cloned phone for you.
Haven't you been waiting
for someone like me to appear?
I have.
Really?
Yes! I knew I'd get through
to you eventually.
You know we have a lot in common, right?
JIYONG: Take your mask off.
GANGOK: Right now?
I need proof
you're not doing this just for fun.
If you can't take on the responsibility,
I can't work with you.
You just said
you'd work with me.
JIYONG: Miteum Church's Pastor Shin
is collecting Kim Samdoo
and Eom Jaehyub's money.
He's laundering and managing
their money for them.
Once I take care of Pastor Shin,
have Choi Miryeo expose this.
You're not connecting it with Sewool?
All the cases connected with Sewool so far
were either briefly covered once
or never covered.
That's true. We should just kill them.
If I kill the pastor,
it'll be on the news.
It'll draw the media's attention,
and the religious community
will make a fuss.
If we expose this then,
they'll have to cover it.
Everyone in the media
will be talking about it,
and the public will be enraged.
That sounds great.
But the investigation will drag on,
and they'll be acquitted.
Why?
Because the money
is for powerful politicians.
Do you have evidence?
No. (SCOFFS)
You got some balls.
When the investigation fizzles out
and the public is
on the verge of giving up,
that's when I'll hit Kim Samdoo
and expose the evidence.
The evidence on him is decisive.
GANGOK: You know what you just said
sounds really unrealistic, right?
You say you'll get Kim Samdoo,
but it's more likely
that you'll die first.
What do you think?
That's not a bad ending.
A man dying after beating
his head against a wall.
That's interesting, too.
Have it done as I said.
By the way, Jiyong,
we're on the same side now.
So will you save my name
as something cool on your phone?
Dream on. I'll never do that.
That punk Playing hard to get.
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
Hey.
Hi.
-Hey, how are you?
-Fine, sir.
(SIGHS)
Hello.
You remember me, right?
I'm Nam Yeongil.
I'm the new leader
of the RIU for the Vigilante case.
(LAUGHS) I didn't touch anything.
I guess I forgot to lock the door.
So what brings you here?
While investigating the case,
I found that Jo Heon visited you here.
He did.
What did you talk about?
I'd written about the recent cases,
and he came for my advice
after reading it.
Could you tell me in detail?
You should ask him yourself.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Yes?
I'm sorry, sir. I'll come back later.
No.
I showed up unannounced,
so I'll wait outside.
No, it's okay.
You must be busy,
so I'll talk with you first.
Can you wait there for a minute?
Sure.
Please.
-(DOOR CLOSES)
-Then I'll ask you just one thing.
Did Jo Heon ask you
to show him the students' pictures?
Yes.
And I didn't show him,
since it wasn't an official request.
Will that be all?
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'll call you if I have more questions.
(SIGHS)
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling fine.
I was just a little startled.
I wasn't hurt much.
But still, you don't have to
help me for a while,
so get some rest, recover,
and catch up with your studies.
No, sir.
I want to help out
until you complete the app.
No.
There's no need.
Thanks for your help.
You may leave.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Attention!
Salute the president!
-Present arms!
-Present arms!
Present arms!
Present arms.
At ease.
Above all else, a police officer
must be honest and upright.
You should not desire
to unlawfully obtain money or benefits.
You should always focus your mindset
He hasn't been cleared of suspicion yet.
How could he say that?
with honorable morality
I know, right?
That dignity and pride should be
our strongest competitive factors.
PASTOR: "On the Lord's glorious path."
PEOPLE: (SINGING) On Lord's glorious path
"I will stand up and run."
I will stand up
You dimwit. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
The guy who knocked me out
didn't touch anything else.
He said to get rid of all the records,
so I thought it'd be okay not to tell.
Then, you should've stuck to that.
What do you want me to do?
It's been bothering me.
Should I tell him now?
Or should I just say I burned it?
(SIGHS)
-It's been a while.
-Nice seeing you.
-It's been a while.
-Thank you.
-Take care.
-You too.
Did you have a good service, Pastor?
I had a hard time crying.
How about the records?
Well, they are
I got rid of them as you said.
Good job.
Here the phones with the crypto wallets.
What was the chairman so worried about?
It's so inconvenient.
He must lack faith.
(GROANS)
Who are you?
You bastard, how dare you come here again?
You little
(PANTS, GROANS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
PASTOR: (GROANS, PANTS)
I'm a pastor. How dare you
Aren't you afraid of God?
God?
Did God
teach you to sell drugs
and act as loan sharks
with thugs?
(WEAKLY) What is it that you want?
-An uprising.
-(PASTOR GROANS)
I want all the weak in the world
to see the dismal end of a criminal
and rise in rebellion
-to protect themselves.
-(GASPING)
(GASPING)
(SIGHS)
Around 10:00 p.m. yesterday,
Pastor Shin Jongun
was found dead
in the main chapel of Miteum Church.
Judging from the writing on the wall
and the methods used,
the police tentatively concluded
that it was the Vigilante
and launched an investigation.
REPORTER: With the death of Pastor Shin,
who was revered for helping those in need,
leaders from all walks of life
in addition to the religious community
are in utter shock.
Judging from the writing on the wall,
the police suspect it was the Vigilante
CHO GANGOK:
LET'S MEET IN THE PARKING LO
What happened?
SAMDOO: (SIGHS) Just
don't say anything.
Just for five days
Whatever I do,
don't say anything for five just days.
He killed Pastor Shin.
Don't you know we're the next targets?
-This could get out of
-Then, are you going to fix it?
Right, you can't since you are
the university president now.
I'll take care of it,
so give me just five days.
Choi Miryeo, Jo Heon,
and the Vigilante
I'll take them all out
President Eom Jaehyub.
(LINE DISCONNECTS)
Just a second.
Done.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE BETWEEN FOREIGN ACCOUNTS
Where did you get this?
Well, my company has
its own investigation team.
So I knew it all along.
I thought it'd help you judge this case,
so I'm giving this in secret.
So you also had intel
that the Vigilante had.
Is that it?
Well, I guess so. (CHUCKLES)
Do you know who he is?
No. I'm sure he had a way to get it.
In any case,
the file in this USB shows
who the pastor really was.
And it's up to you to decide
how to use it.
See you later.
(DOOR CLOSES)
-She must've forgotten to thank me.

Sly bastard.
V NEWS
WE DELIVER THE TRUTH
MIRYEO: I'm sure you remember
Pastor Shin Jongun was murdered recently.
V News
had been pursuing someone who was managing
Chairman Kim Samdoo's secret funds,
and we're taking this opportunity
to reveal what we've discovered.
This is a follow-up
to our previous reports
on the three suspicions
surrounding Sewool,
which are online gambling overseas,
drugs, and the murder of a reporter.
Everyone,
take a close look at this file.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
-What is it?
-HEON: Stop.
(SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION)
Mr. Jo
Where did you get the file?
What are you doing?
You can't barge in like this.
Ms. Choi. (SIGHS)
From now on,
I'll speak informally to you.
No.
And get out right now.
The Vigilante is somewhere around you.
Don't you know how dangerous that is?
Superintendent Jo Heon.
I am not afraid, so leave.
I'm sure the Vigilante gave you that file.
You're egging on the Vigilante,
making a hero of him, and inciting people!
You're making things worse
and making the wound called the Vigilante
fester hopelessly.
For a cheap ratings hit.
Because of that immature thought
your own death
is staring you right in the face.
But why can't you see it?
(MIRYEO SCOFFS)
(LAUGHS)
Wow
You're a man of great insight.
But why can't you see how fearless I am?
Thank you
for that fair criticism.
But not everyone
in this world is that obedient.
I'm going to keep helping the Vigilante.
I'll take the risk.
Only those as bold as I am could handle
the Vigilante. Don't you agree?
And one more thing.
Don't you ever talk
informally to me again.
Understood?

Oh, my. I know it's hard to move

Isn't it painful?
You think you can stab me again?

We got a lot to do.

Try your best.

I'll kill you when we meet again!

MR. BANG: (PANTS)
Wow, I'm impressed.

I'll make sure it's a quick end.
