POLICE UNIVERSITY
41ST ENTRANCE CEREMONY
ALL CHARACTER, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Hey! Hold on. Where did he go?
-Go, Professor, go!
-What?
-Go, Professor, go!
-Where did he go?
What's going on? Where is he going?
-Hey!
-Where is he going?
Damn it!
DORMITORY
I got you, punk!
You
What are you doing here?
Why didn't you pick up your phone?
I asked what you are doing here!
Why are you yelling at me?
They told me not to return
because of the aftereffects.
Therefore, I was appointed as a professor
at Korean National Police University.
So we're colleagues now.
What?
I thought you'd be happy to see me.
What's with that look on your face?
I'm just tired, that's all.
Why did you come here today of all days?
The sooner I come,
the sooner I can start helping you out.
What?
I know you're investigating
the illegal gambling ring here.
Captain told me everything.
Apparently, I told you
that they're at the university.
You idiot, shut your mouth!
Don't blurt it out here.
Leave at once. Get lost.
You're making me even more tired.
Come on. Where are you going?
We should go for a drink
and celebrate my joining you here.
The restaurant across the street
sells pork rinds.
Cheol-jin asked for it,
saying he wants to work by your side.
That's why I transferred him there.
Even so
How could you do this
without talking to me first
Anyway, okay. I have to go.
What happened?
Because of this
Do you know
what I had to give up because of this?
What?
Someone sneaked into my empty room
and went through my laptop.
The frame for my family photo is broken.
CAPTAIN
Goodness.
Professor.
Professor.
Professor.
This jerk
What an interesting turn of events.
Professor.
Professor!
-What are you going to do?
-Hey.
The maximum transmission range
of this listening device is 3km.
The only person within the distance
who'd listen in on our talks is Mr. Go!
We don't know that for sure yet.
And even if it's him, what will you do?
I'll figure that out later.
Move out of my way!
Calm down.
That little rat. I will catch him!
-Please, Professor!
-Let go, you punk!
Darn it
Hey! Why did you try to stop me?
"Why"?
You told me to stop you
when you are being rash.
You said that's why every cop needs
a partner and why two are better than one.
You were the one who told me to do this.
And what? "Why"?
-Hey, this situation is
-So it's different in every situation?
Then take back what you said.
I don't care what happens.
I won't stop you anymore!
So take back what you said.
Hey.
A real man never takes back his words.
And since when did you always
listen to me?
Okay, fine.
The fact that I had no idea
that jerk has been sneaking
into my office made me blow a fuse.
I'm sorry about that. Happy now?
Why say that at the end
and ruin your apology?
Wait until you get to my age
because you'll be doing that too.
What do we do now?
What do you think?
We'll get the serial number
from the device
and find out where
and when it was purchased
as well as who bought it.
Then we'll catch the culprit.
Wait.
No. Hold on.
Hey, stop!
What's with those losers?
Hey! You scumbag!
This is actually for the best.
Yes.
Why do you look so upset?
What are you thinking about?
What do you think he gained
from planting that bug?
Hey, think about what we gained.
Now we know the culprit is close by.
So we haven't been barking up
the wrong tree.
He got scared and wiretapped me. Why?
It's because we're so close
to catching him.
That's what's important here.
If the culprit is within the range,
that means we're in danger.
He even saw my family photo.
-Gosh.
-Come on!
That's exactly what that jerk wants.
Getting scared by this.
And stepping back because we're scared
so that we won't investigate him!
You punk. Are you going
to do exactly what he wants?
But this is my first time!
I've never gone through this before.
Isn't it only natural that I'm scared?
You punk. Why are you whining here?
You should've gotten rid of such thoughts
before coming here, you brat.
-Hey!
-"Hey"?
What now?
You want to have a go at me
when I'm your professor?
Bring it on.
Gosh, that nutjob.
I can hear you.
What? Why? Are you really
going to have a go at me?
Why was Mr. Park
suddenly transferred here?
Am I the only one who thinks it's odd
that he came here now?
Don't bark up the wrong tree.
Cheol-jin is here to help
with our investigation,
and I knew it all along.
Are you sure?
Are you sure you knew?
Of course, you punk!
Gosh.
Darn it.
Hey, Sun-ho.
Why did you do that?
Back in the field.
That
I suddenly got a stomachache.
I must've eaten
something bad during lunch.
My stomach was upset.
Is that true?
Five minutes to the evening roll call.
Get ready for the roll call.
I'll get going. Good night.
FORENSICS
PROFESSOR SEO SANG-HAK
Do you know the serial murder case
that occurred in saunas in 2004?
It was raining.
The night was chilly.
The phone rang sharply
despite the loud sound of rain.
Ring!
"This is a sauna in Dogok-dong."
"A man is dying here!"
"What did you say?"
When we arrived at the scene,
the victim was already dead.
The suspect set the scene on fire
and fled.
All the evidence was destroyed,
and we were thinking
this would cause us a headache.
But right then!
From a distance, someone shouted,
"Inspector Seo! Come look at this!"
"What?"
One step, two steps.
I went close to the burned body.
"Wait, that is"
The suspect's fingerprints
were clearly visible on the body.
That's impossible!
Is it true?
It was the first case in Korea
where we solved the case
with the fingerprints left
on the victim's body.
No way.
Professor Yu, when did you get here?
I heard you've been teaching
as a professor your whole career.
It's just a rumor.
A rumor?
Right.
What brought you to the clubroom?
I wanted to ask you
for a favor.
Why is the TV off?
My gosh.
The first baseman, Kim Ji-ho,
is dashing at full speed
You've never tasted a beer like this.
This is Gossi Beer.
Hello?
Darn it.
What was that about?
What?
Where did the remote control go?
Well
Can you check
if the fingerprints on this remote control
are also on this laptop?
Aren't you going to tell me
the story behind this
when you're asking for a favor?
Don't you think you need to tell me that?
Do you think you can handle it?
It might be disturbing.
I'm weakhearted, so
Just consider it done.
It's nothing too difficult anyway.
Okay. Thank you.
Right.
There's also a difficult favor I must ask.
Do you need anything, Kang-hui?
I
I like you.
Are you that upset?
Do you want to use my special leave?
No, it's not because of that.
You're not even done.
Hey, guys! I got good news!
Did you hear?
They're giving everyone special leave!
-What?
-The faculty members decided.
Everyone will get to go out!
-Are you sure?
-Yes!
It looks like Professor Seo
pushed ahead with it.
This is amazing!
Professor Seo is a romanticist
in many ways.
Right.
But he used to be really scary
when I was in school.
Right.
You went to our school too, right?
-Yes, I did.
-You know everything about him.
Look at you two bonding already.
I'm in the 25th batch.
I studied at the Yongin campus,
so I'm not familiar with this one.
How did you become friends
with Professor Yu?
He was my first supervisor
in the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Since then, I've followed him everywhere.
We were inseparable.
It seems like you remember everything.
Are you sure you're suffering
from dissociative amnesia?
That condition can be quite funny.
Some erase the entire memory
of their first love.
Some erase the people they met
in the military from their memory.
They say an entire part
of your life gets erased.
But I'm not sure
which part of mine got erased.
I hope only bad memories were erased.
Thank you.
She can be quite nosy.
Where is Professor Yu?
Did he go home already?
What?
The surveillance cameras
were all very old,
so we've been replacing
all of them for a month.
So we don't have any recorded footage.
Then what should I do?
Sorry? About what?
Sorry about that. Darn it.
YU DONG-MAN
Gosh, you startled me.
Hey, airhead!
Dong-man is not here though.
I'm not sure if you saw the board,
but how could you order
fried eggs at a pub?
Is there a law saying
that you can't sell fried eggs at a pub?
I'm sure you know about laws
better than I do.
The one who breaks the law
knows better than the one who keeps it.
Well, we all live different lives.
By the way,
did you leave
after seeing me win
in the relay race yesterday?
Relay race?
I didn't see it. Why?
Well, I was just curious if you did.
Since you came to school yesterday.
I see. I just looked around the school.
I went to see the dormitory too.
I see
Why are you so surprised?
You startled me even more.
I'll be off. It's about time
for the roll call.
Of course I did.
Gosh, you were so fast.
I see. So you did see me.
Sun-ho ran out first in a flash,
then you ran after him in a flash.
Are you saying that you won with that?
My goodness.
-So he was watching all along?
-Gosh
I guess you and Sun-ho are very close.
You guys were totally like a team.
Gosh, that jerk
What do you think he gained
from planting that bug?
Kang Sun-ho.
Eon-ju.
Sun-ho. This is the day.
Weren't you asleep?
Students in uniform are not allowed
to stain the dignity of students
at the Police University.
Putting your hands in your pocket,
clasping them behind your back, spitting,
smoking, or eating while walking
are all forbidden.
Also, you're not allowed
to enter places that can damage
your reputation and dignity.
You're not allowed
to enter places that are
only for entertainment.
Refrain from all acts that can harm
the dignity of the Police University.
What you do in your uniform
can become the image of the police.
Please keep that in mind.
We will now check your uniform and hair.
Your decision as a romanticist worked out.
It's against equity though.
I told you to say the right thing
at the right time.
People will talk behind your back.
You shouldn't hang out
with abnormal people.
Don't fight.
Unfortunately,
I'm not the romanticist here.
What?
Wear your badge correctly.
Shine your shoes.
I've got a date today. What are you up to?
I have
very important plans.
"Plans"?
You're not hiding anything from me, right?
Of course not. I don't have anything.
Sun-ho, what are you doing today?
I
I don't know yet.
If the culprit is within the range,
that means we're in danger.
He even saw my family photo.
Seong-su, what are you going to do?
-I don't know.
-Why not?
-Nice.
-Let's go.
Let's sit here.
Why? Did you forget something?
I did.
I need to drop by the dormitory.
You go ahead.
All right.
We're leaving now.
Let's go!
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
Professor Yu.
Let's investigate Mr. Park too.
Like we did with Professor Kwon.
It's a relief if there's nothing.
So we can just make sure
I think
I've told you
Cheol-jin is not in the picture.
Your phone.
PROFESSOR YU DONG-MAN
DELETE CONTAC
Stop working on this case.
Is it because I asked you
to investigate Mr. Park?
Shouldn't you ask me why I think so first?
Save that foolish assumption
for your reports.
Don't you hear me?
Don't come to my office.
From now on, the only place
that you and I will meet
is in the classroom.
Is that it?
Is this what a partner means to you?
You said you'd never give up
on the investigation,
but this is it?
You are scared.
Isn't that what you wanted to hear?
Gosh.
Do you think you can break it with that?
POLICE UNIVERSITY
Hey, why didn't you take the shuttle?
Why did you lie to me?
I wanted to kick you, but I took it out
on the poor trash can instead.
Take the next bus!
I'll just go get some tests done
at the hospital.
When I'm back,
we'll go for pork belly and drinks.
You'd better hurry.
The traffic is bad on weekends.
Dong-man, is everything okay?
-Why?
-You look like someone
who just got dumped.
I'll be right back.
You are scared.
Isn't that what you wanted to hear?
-Are you going somewhere?
-You startled me.
Yes, I'm going somewhere.
Where? you bought drinks.
I'm not in the mood to joke with you.
You're going to drink soju?
With who? A woman?
Are you always this interested
in everyone's business?
Or are you just like this with me?
Just with you.
You're a dangerous person. You really are.
Who is this woman?
Is she prettier than me?
That's impossible.
Get in the car if you're curious.
Are you crazy?
How long have you worked
at the Police University?
I think this is my seventh or eighth year.
Was Gossi Beer around
when you first joined the school?
No, it suddenly opened one day.
That spot has always been like that.
It always had different owners
doing different things.
But surprisingly,
Professor Go has been there for a while.
And he befriended all the neighbors
very quickly.
Why do you ask?
I should buy some instant noodles.
Where are we going?
Do you really want to get kicked?
Just kick me.
Do it all you want,
if it'll make you feel better.
I can put up with it.
But you know, the trial
Hold on. Gosh.
I've been waiting for this day.
I'm even in my uniform now,
but I have to attend my mom's trial.
So I'm
really upset right now.
You'd better not follow me.
If you do, I'll actually break your leg.
Wait, Kang-hui
COURT IN SESSION
All the evidence shows that
the defendant willingly participated
in the opening of the gambling site,
yet the defendant refuses to accept it.
Well
She admits to everything and
Didn't she request an appeal
because she can't accept it?
My point exactly!
DEFENDAN
Let me do the talking.
Look, Prosecutor.
I admit that I gambled.
Ma'am.
They told me I had to open
a cryptocurrency account,
or whatever it's called, to place bets.
I had no idea what it was,
so I asked them to take care of it.
That's why that man
opened the account for me.
I played a few games with it
but ended up blowing all the money.
So I quit a long time ago.
And you're saying
I opened a gambling site?
I'm not gutsy enough
to do something like that.
I'd like to bring in a witness.
WITNESS
I clearly remember her telling me that
she was running an illegal gambling site
with some people in the Philippines
and that it was very lucrative.
You damn brat.
Don't make up such lies.
Why would I run away
if I were running something so lucrative?
And why would I let my daughter
freeload off other people all her life?
Order!
And Ms. Kim.
Spit out your gum, please.
Sure.
You two.
I bet you talked
and decided to dump this all on me.
Ms. Oh Jeong-ja.
You said your name was Oh Ga-eul.
Why are you calling me
by the name I do not wish to use?
Do I not have any rights?
Hey. From the get-go,
you were planning
to dump it all on me and close the case.
I may look like I've had an easy life,
but I've been through all sorts of things.
Don't mess with me!
I bet you were bribed. Who bribed you?
You call this the law?
Hey! Yes, you.
As soon as I get out of jail,
I will kill you. Do you hear me?
Let's go.
-You don't need to see this.
-Order!
You call this the law?
No. You need to see this, Kang-hui.
You are the only one who can tell whether
your mom is telling the truth or not.
So you have to stay and watch the trial.
You'd better tell the truth.
Kang Sun-ho, let go of her hand.
You let go.
What are you guys doing in a courtroom?
Let go, both of you.
She's lying!
Defendant, please be seated.
Prosecutor, you may give
your closing argument.
Let go!
The estimated sum of the bets
accumulated by this illegal gambling site
under the defendant's name
reaches tens of billions of won.
Her accomplice, Kim Sun-ae,
has admitted to everything
and withdrew the appeal,
whereas Defendant Oh Jeong-ja,
who has priors,
is busy listing excuses in this courtroom
instead of showing remorse.
Ergo, the original sentence
of two years in prison
along with the fine of 500 million won
for habitual gambling,
setting up a site for gambling,
and violating the Electronic Financial
Transactions Act was fair.
Hence, I ask the court
to dismiss her appeal.
We will hear
the defense counsel's closing argument
before we wrap up.
Counsel.
Your Honor.
You know, I have admitted
to everything I did.
Gambling? Yes, I gambled.
And I will gladly accept
the punishment for it.
But
I refuse to be punished
for something I didn't do.
Opening the gambling site?
I swear on my daughter's name.
I never did such a thing.
It's simple.
The money that people use to bet on
this site is all saved as cryptocurrency.
It's the same website.
COURT IN SESSION
YU DONG-MAN
NO RESULT FOUND
Right.
Having fun?
-What?
-Acting cool, then chickening out.
That's your specialty.
Am I wrong?
Thanks to you guys,
I stayed until the end.
Thank you.
But can you guys leave now?
I don't want to be embarrassed anymore.
He really is like a puppy.
Sit down. Your legs will hurt.
My mom
wasn't lying.
She's not at fault.
I know her.
I know what she does when she lies.
When I was seven,
I asked her why I'm the only one
without a dad,
and she said this while avoiding my eyes.
"Your dad is working abroad."
When I was 13,
I asked her
if she was going to jail again,
and she avoided my eyes again
and said that she was not.
But she did.
That's when I realized it.
That
if Mom avoids my eyes,
that means she's lying.
But in the courtroom,
she looked straight into my eyes.
Mom didn't do it.
I'm asking this because I'm dumbfounded.
Why are you here?
My point exactly.
Because I'm lonely.
Why would you come here
when you're lonely?
My point exactly.
Because I'm super lonely.
Your close colleague got transferred.
Why didn't you go see him?
Hey, when people are super lonely,
they meet people they're not close to.
The closer you are,
the harder it is to be honest.
There are times
when you can't share everything.
-What?
-Here.
You said it's too expensive
for me to hold.
Just hang onto it
while I use the restroom.
Gosh, am I getting old?
What's going on, seriously?
Why did you become so weak? What's wrong?
You know
I said all those things,
knowing I'd regret it later,
but I'm regretting it already. Darn it.
Then why did you say it?
I didn't want to regret it more later.
It's strange.
I'm not sure what it's about,
but why are you scared?
That's not like you.
I guess it's because I have
people to protect now.
I'm scared to make choices.
Who is that woman?
Is she prettier than me?
Gosh.
-Eon
-Eon-ju!
Noh Beom-tae?
What?
Wait
Jo Joon-wuk?
What are you doing here?
I have a date with Eon-ju.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
How could you not tell me?
You're the one who didn't tell me.
I told you I have a date.
Hey, what's the problem?
You both wanted to see me,
so I thought we could all meet up.
Here. Drink up!
-Thank you! Cheers!
-Cheers!
Hey, is this the date you mentioned?
What? You're not
keeping any secrets from me?
What? Are you not going to drink it?
Drink up.
Hurry up!
When it comes to alcohol,
the speed matters more than the amount.
-Drink up!
-Bottoms up!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
The tickets for Asan have sold out.
We're out of tickets.
What?
TO ASAN, SOLD OU
TO DAEJEON, SOLD OU
No, it's really fine.
I'll just take the first bus
in the morning.
How can you wait until then?
Just come with me, please?
Here's your beer.
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
I'll just have one more.
I'll go home after this.
KANG-HUI
YOON DIGITAL
You didn't have to get this.
My mom told me to never go empty-handed
when visiting someone's place.
Hey, Kang-hui.
Yes?
Are you and Min-gyu
-No, never mind.
-What about me and Min-gyu?
I was wondering
if you two were seeing each other.
Are you crazy? He's just a friend.
Where is your place?
Over here. We're here.
YOON DIGITAL
Dad.
Come in.
Hello.
Is he inside? Wait here.
Dad.
OWNER YOON TAEK-IL
Yoon Tae-kil?
Dad?
Did he go somewhere?
Dad
Dad.
-Sun-ho. Hey!
-Dad!
YOON DIGITAL
What are you doing?
Sun-ho.
-Hey. Sun-ho!
-Dad
-Dad
-What's wrong?
What happened?
Hey, what's going on?
Dad wasn't home.
Maybe he went out to get something.
Son!
YOON SEUNG-BEOM
The guy at the judo gym?
I didn't know they were brothers.
Here, you can wear this.
I'll help you, Dad.
No, it's okay.
Why don't you give your girlfriend
a tour of the house?
She's not my girlfriend.
Do you have any photos of Sun-ho
when he was a baby?
I only see photos of him grown-up.
That's
We moved around a lot,
so I don't have baby photos of my sons.
I see. Same here.
Where can I get changed?
In that room.
By the way, what happened
in your room? It's a mess.
Well, I tried on
a bunch of different outfits
because I wanted to look nice.
No. I forgot to press the cook button.
I'll go pick up some instant rice.
My goodness
-Take a seat.
-It looks amazing.
Leave it. Just sit down, please.
Gosh, that'd make me uncomfortable.
Please let me help.
And please drop the honorifics.
It'll help me enjoy the food even more.
My Sun-ho is too nice.
He's probably boring to be around.
Sorry? Not at all.
I mean, he is nice.
But he's pretty decisive,
and he rarely gets flustered.
Also, he's very outspoken,
so our classmates look up to him.
Really?
Yes.
That's why I was surprised earlier.
I've never seen him like that.
He seemed all flustered and lost,
like a five-year-old boy
who couldn't find his dad.
I was always afraid
he'd disappear one day.
But he's all protective of me now
that he's grown up.
He was like an outsider
when he was little.
He'd be right behind me
when I thought he wasn't there.
And when I thought he was there,
he was gone.
He was always like that.
But today, he was right there.
He's no longer like an outsider.
When he walks into the room,
you just know.
He sure stands out, wherever he goes.
-I'm back.
-Hey.
Go heat the rice.
Hurry. I'm hungry.
Okay.
I think I ate too much. I'm so full.
Sorry for stealing your room.
Let me sleep here for just one night.
Why are you staring at me?
Get out.
Okay. Good night.

Yoon Taek-il?
Do you have any photos of Sun-ho
when he was a baby?
I only see photos of him grown-up.
That's
We moved around a lot,
so I don't have baby photos of my sons.
Is that why he seemed
like an outsider to me as well?
Do you like her that much?
Why are you so surprised?
Well, we're just friends.
What are you talking about?
Figure out where things stand,
no matter what her answer may be.
Right.
Dad.
You said this to me a while back.
About things that happen
before I become a cop,
you said I can repay them in the future.
Yes, I did.
But what if
dangerous things happen while I do that?
And what if I fail to protect
someone dear to me?
What should I do, then?
That thought terrifies me.
I'm scared. My head is
telling me not to do it
and that I don't need to do it.
But the thing is
But
you want to do it.
Then you should do it.
You've always held yourself back,
so the fact that you're this torn
tells me that you should do it.
Just do it.
But make sure you do it properly.
Only then will you become
a great police officer
who can protect everyone dear to you.
As your dad,
I will always believe
in the decisions that you make.
Why don't we try to analyze
this burner phone's call patterns?
There's a program that analyzes
call patterns and frequency.
If we look into the base station
using that,
we should be able to track down
the person using the burner phone.
Done.
Is the investigation still ongoing?
Yes, I haven't caught the culprit yet.
Is Kang Sun-ho working on it with you?
Why are you so surprised?
It's so obvious.
Well, I was just training him.
But he's no longer involved.
That's why you're lonely now.
When you're investigating a case,
you have to suspect
even those closest to you
if you spot anything suspicious.
It can be awful and lonely,
but you have to do it.
That's why you were
suspicious of me as well?
Just like fishing,
the investigation
will eventually come to an end.
What or whom will I see
at the end of this investigation,
and what will happen in the end?
I'm scared to find out.
That's when you can
lean on your friends.
Just come here anytime you're lonely.
What? You caught one.
What?
-Gosh.
-Wow!
Gosh, what's this? I caught one!
-My! Help me.
-Wow!
-Help me!
-Hold on.
-Wait.
-Grab it!
My gosh.
-Look at that.
-Wow.
Goodness.
My gosh.
Your dad seems so nice.
You've grown up well.
Anyway, don't tell anyone
that I slept over at your place.
I don't want people to gossip
when we're not even seeing each other.
Kang-hui.
I'll catch the real culprit
of your mother's case.
I'll put everything back to normal.
Actually,
I've been investigating a case
with Professor Yu.
I see.
What?
I couldn't finish the race
because of that investigation.
What are you investigating?
I mean, is that related to my mom's case?
That
I'll tell you after I discuss it
with Professor Yu.
I'm planning to
have it out with him today.
"Have it out"?
Yes, and
I'm going to
have it out with you after him.
It's about time we have it out
and decide what we are.
YU DONG-MAN
Yes, I'll go to your office.
Did you find fingerprints?
Yes, I did, but
The fingerprints on this laptop
weren't found on this remote control
you brought
but on this plastic cup.
You look like someone who just got dumped.
I'll be right back.
Dong-man.
Professor Yu.
I can't stop working on this case.
No. I won't.
You said the culprit is here.
How did you
I must
catch the culprit at all costs.
So that I can
protect the people I love.
I've made up my mind,
so you should decide.
I must
see the end of this case.
Dong-man.
You're not getting Sun-ho
involved in your private matter, are you?
You did it, didn't you?
We don't know if you were injured
while carrying out a sting operation
or if you're just putting on a show.
Is that really what you think?
Do you know what this is?
I got a report. It says that the sample
questions going around the students
seem to be the exam paper
for Investigation Studies.
He can't deny it. They even found
an envelope of money in his office.
The arrest warrant will be issued soon.
You'll have to hurry.
We'll be able to save Professor Yu, right?
I'm going to save your supervisor.
