POLICE UNIVERSITY
41ST ENTRANCE CEREMONY
ALL CHARACTER, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Jeez. Fine, I'm coming.
-Damn you.
-Shut it.
4 YEARS AGO
Is it the dirtbag in Incheon?
I'll go with you.
Go away, punk. You're so annoying.
What are you going to do all by yourself?
Don't you know that
the award ceremony is tomorrow?
And it's been a year since I joined
Crime Investigation Team One.
I'm your partner.
Partner, my foot. Give me a break.
Go away.
I'll show you
that I deserve to be called your partner.
Gosh, seriously
Stop, you jerk!
-Hey!
-Stop right there!
I told you not to follow me!
-Damn it!
-Jeez.
Damn it.
Step back.
Darn it. Where did he go?
No!
Cheol-jin!
That crazy scum!
Let go!
Let go of me, you jerk!
Cheol-jin!
I said, let go of me, you jerk!
I'll never let you go!
Dong-man!
Over there!
I'm sorry I left you behind.
I'm supposed to be your partner.
You don't have to be sorry.
Now that I have a stab wound,
it's kind of cool,
but it was really scary.
How will I ever
go after a suspect alone at night?
You will never go out alone, you punk.
From now, I'll always be behind you,
so don't be scared.
Darn it.
Darn it.
My gosh
Dong-man.
The fingerprints on this laptop
weren't found on this remote control
you brought
but on this plastic cup.
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.
DEFENSIVE TACTICS
It looks like he's back
Where's Sun-ho?
Is he at the library to save our seats?
Everyone is there
because our finals started.
Who are you? Do you know me?
I'm here to see my friend, Sun-ho.
-Please leave.
-I'm leaving!
-Go!
-Come on!
Sun-ho!
Hi.
Wait. That seat is reserved.
Sorry.
Where did he go to have it out
with the professor?
Why are you drinking so much?
Do you want to get drunk?
My gosh.
You go first.
Sorry?
Go ahead and explain
why you think he's the culprit.
What? What are you talking about?
Are you calling me the culprit?
I finished analyzing
Mr. Park's communications data.
What?
When a burner phone
that got a signal from a cell site
near our school called Mr. Park's phone,
his phone picked up a signal
from the same cell site a few hours later.
Several times.
So?
That means the owner
of the burner phone called him,
and he came to the school.
The calls, travel route,
and the same cell site.
I kept seeing the same pattern.
What nonsense are you spewing, you punk?
Hey! This is unbelievable.
Are you certain of the causality?
Are you sure that's all there is?
Wasn't there a case where I called him,
and he came over to the school?
Your speculation lacks basis.
But that doesn't mean that it's not true.
Why did you come to our school
when Professor Yu didn't call you?
Why is this jerk talking nonsense?
Dong-man, it's not me.
Why would I do something like that?
Shut your mouth and follow me.
Why that little
Dong-man, you don't believe him, do you?
Dong-man. Say something!
Why did you touch Sun-ho's laptop?
Dong-man.
You mean the one on his desk?
I just took a look because I got curious.
What about you?
Why are you looking into
my communications data?
What are you accusing me of?
We don't know if you were injured
while carrying out a sting operation
or if you're just putting on a show
because you're working for those jerks.
Are you serious?
We don't know if you touched his laptop
to dig something up from it or not!
Is that really what you think?
I've been working
as your partner for six years,
and I even got stabbed!
That's why I know you well.
I know the face you make when you lie.
Just go, Cheol-jin.
Sir, can you make a U-turn?
Do I make a U-turn or not?
Mr. Park Cheol-jin.
You were in my car last time too.
I can't do this.
I want to stop here.
This is too much.
Seriously.
Sir, please stop the car.
I can see that you remember it.
He will call you.
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
Are you almost done
with submitting the exam papers?
Yes, except for the Investigation Studies.
I see.
Professor Yu, you must upload them
to the cloud by tomorrow night.
Professor Yu?
-What?
-The exam papers.
Right. I got it.
Okay, then. Let's wrap it up here.
-Okay.
-Good job, everyone.
Do you want to go for a drive
after submitting them tomorrow?
Where to?
You know. Misa-ri or Yangsu-ri.
Anywhere that ends with "ri".
Why would you go there?
It's dark, narrow, and accident-prone.
That's why we're going there.
It's dark and narrow,
and I'm hoping for some accidents there.
What happened? Did he just turn me down?
Gosh, the deadly exams are coming up.
I already messed up my mid-terms,
so I'm dead if I mess it up again
in the finals.
Right, you're dead already.
No, I'm not.
How is it going with studying?
Want some coffee?
Here you go.
So, did things go well with Professor Yu?
Not yet. I think he needs more time.
But I'm sure he'll be fine soon.
From what I know, he's always like that.
I thought you were
just investigating together,
but I guess you guys got close too.
We always fight.
That means you guys are close.
If not, why would you even fight?
You'd just ignore each other.
So when are you going to tell me about
that investigation you're doing with him?
Well
We haven't had it out yet.
-I'm sorry.
-What's there to be?
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.
Hey, I'm not asking
because I want to have it out with you.
I was curious since it seemed like
it was related to my mom.
What? Why are you smiling now?
I don't think now's the time for this.
Let's go. I'll finish it off.
What do you mean by that?
Hey, Kang Sun-ho!
INVESTIGATION STUDIES EXAM
Sir, are you available now?
How long have you known?
How long have you known that
the culprit is in the Police University?
After the sports festival.
I heard you talking with Mr. Park.
You punk.
Why would you eavesdrop
on grown-ups talking?
Why didn't you tell me about it?
I wasn't so sure about it.
It could've just confused
the investigation.
Still, we even found the bug.
Isn't that clear enough?
Nothing is ever clear enough.
You've never done a proper investigation.
We first went after
the illegal gambling ring.
Whether they are
in the Police University or not,
they are close to us. That's a fact.
If Cheol-jin is the culprit,
don't you think we should investigate
how deep he is involved,
and who is hiding behind him?
So that means you're going to do it right.
You won't back off no matter what, right?
Did you even hear what I said?
Of course I won't back off.
What do you want me to say?
You can't avoid it even if you want to.
Nothing will change if I stop.
I should at least keep going
to get something out of it, right?
I don't know what's at the end
of this investigation,
but we'll see when we get there.
I'll stop him from doing anything.
I'll do whatever I can
to stop him from investigating.
I'll get it done this time.
If you give me one last chance
YU DONG-MAN
Why did I choose
to become a police officer?
Tell me about it. If we mess up the exams
and fail to graduate,
we won't be able to become one anyway.
Gosh, study more
instead of worrying about it.
-I can't focus on studying.
-Guys.
Do you know what this is?
-What is this?
-What's that?
-Goodness!
-Why?
The legendary graduate, who got
straight-As in every class for four years,
is now at the main office,
so-called the next commissioner.
Do you know him?
-Of course I know.
-This is
These are the sample questions
that he used to study.
-Gosh.
-Goodness.
-How much for a page?
-Give your price first.
There won't be any negotiations, right?
Guys, we're at the Police University.
If you get into something speculative
-Fried chicken.
-Okay, fried chicken.
And pizza.
-Pizza?
-And beer.
Beer?
I'm not in.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, I'll be off.
-And a blind date.
-Really? Blind date?
And the blind date expenses.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, totally.
Stop staring at me
and read your book, will you?
Okay.
Right, did the talk
with your professor go well?
I did talk to him but
Sorry.
Just until the exams are over.
After that,
you'll have to tell me everything.
Okay, I will.
Try to focus again.
Okay.
Hey, Min-gyu. Did you see this?
Give it back when you're done.
Mr. Park Cheol-jin seemed
to have regained his memory.
You didn't know?
CHEOL-JIN
PROFESSOR BAEK
-Hello?
-Professor Yu.
I got a report from a student.
It says that the sample questions
going around the students seem to be
the exam paper for Investigation Studies.
Professor Yu, is it true?
Is it the exam paper for the finals?
Yes, it is.
How did this get out?
The exam for Investigation Studies
hasn't been uploaded yet though.
Did you print a copy of it by any chance?
Yes, I printed a copy last night
to do a final check.
Then do you remember
if anyone visited your office
after you finished writing
all the exam questions?
First, let's check the CCTV footage
-from the camera in the hallway.
-Okay.
Yes, Mr. Hyun.
Professor Yu, can I have a word with you?
The sample questions
you were looking at this morning?
Yes. Apparently, they were
for our Investigation Studies exam.
I guess they were leaked somehow.
Where's Professor Yu?
It's been reported
to Asan Police Station as well.
They called and said their officers
are on their way now.
I see.
Let me ask you again.
After you completed writing
all the exam questions,
did anyone visit your office that night?
One of my students stopped by.
Was it Kang Sun-ho again?
Yes. It was Sun-ho.
But we just talked.
And until he left my office,
I was there with him the whole time.
The CCTV footage will prove it.
The laptop you submitted
for fingerprint analysis
is also his, isn't it?
You're not getting Sun-ho
involved in your private matter, are you?
I hope that is not the case, Professor Yu.
You may return to your office.
Yes, sir.
You're not getting Sun-ho
involved in your private matter, are you?
I hope that is not the case, Professor Yu.
Gosh, I have a headache now.
What is this?
What in the world
Professor Yu Dong-man,
we're from Asan Police Station.
-What's that behind you?
-Nothing.
What is this?
Professor
Professor.
Professor. Wait.
Say something! Please?
This can't be true.
-Professor!
-Just a moment.
Professor Yu can get in my car.
We'll follow you.
But we were told to
arrest him immediately.
You don't have solid evidence yet,
so it's unnecessary to do this
in front of the students.
From the tone of my voice,
you can tell I'll take issue
with this talk if it drags on.
And from the look on my face,
you can tell I want to wrap it up
if you got my point.
You know
where Asan Police Station is, right?
STOP
You didn't have to do this.
I said we should go for a drive.
Although it's bright out,
and we're driving on a wide road.
But there has been an accident indeed.
A case, not an accident.
It is an accident.
An accident that was sprung on you
out of the blue.
Did this happen
because I didn't hit the brakes?
I wonder if this was done to stop me
because I wasn't going to stop.
I'm not sure
if this is an appropriate analogy,
but there's a day
I regret the most in my whole life.
That day, I had an awful dream.
So I told my husband
to skip work for just one day
and go to the beach with me.
But he was so adamant about going to work.
He was like that.
Regardless of what I said,
he remained stubborn
and did everything his way.
If I knew we'd never be able
to go to the beach again,
I should've stopped him at all costs.
I should've done everything
I could to stop him.
I should've done everything, anything.
I regret it every day.
You need to stay alive
to forgive and make up.
Don't you think so?
LEE JU-WON
LEE JU-WON
He can't deny it.
They even found
an envelope of money in his office.
But I find it suspicious.
They found the evidence too easily.
It's strange.
That's true.
He was once called
a legend of Investigation Studies.
I don't think he'd have been this sloppy.
Exactly.
He doesn't seem like the type
to receive bribes either.
-Right?
-You never know.
He'll either be dismissed or fired.
Do you think they'll fire him?
So that means you're going to do it right.
You won't back off no matter what, right?
Of course I won't back off.
What do you want me to say?
Hello.
Sun-ho.
All right. Thank you.
They're starting his investigation now.
Why won't they let us see
the CCTV footage?
Take a careful look.
Someone turned the CCTV camera,
so it caught nothing.
Tell me about it.
Seeing how he knows the angle,
it must be someone from inside.
Who's your accomplice?
Whether it's a student or not,
you must've done this
so that it wouldn't catch you
accepting the ten-million-won bribe.
Someone from inside.
Professor Yu, why don't you just confess?
They're analyzing the footage now,
and the arrest warrant
will be issued soon.
Dong-man!
Gosh, why are you here?
This is humiliating.
You brat!
So you know this is humiliating?
I know you're a nutjob,
but you wouldn't do something so low.
You punks!
I know, right? Why is he doing this?
What did you say?
If he wanted to frame me,
then he should've done a better job.
You know who did it, don't you?
Who is it? What's this about?
Did he do this to stop me
from investigating any further?
Tell me what this is about.
It's frustrating.
Captain, I have a favor to ask.
Here, have some tea.
The night before the exam paper
was leaked,
you were with Professor Yu
in his office, right?
Yes, I went to talk to him for a second.
May I ask what it was about?
I was stuck
while studying Investigation Studies,
so I wanted to ask him.
Just this month alone,
you visited Professor Yu's office
more than ten times.
Were you there to ask questions
on Investigation Studies?
You shouldn't make that face
when the police ask you a question.
Let me see.
He was arrested without a warrant,
so Professor Yu will be detained
for about 36 hours.
If you want to prove his innocence
before he's cornered,
you must hurry.
You may leave.
Yes, sir.
You did it, didn't you?
Just go and study for your exams.
I'll make sure
to find evidence on you.
I'd love to see you try.
I'm not sure if a greenhorn
like you can do that though.
Sun-ho!
It's really strange though.
Why did the culprit share the paper
when he could've had it for himself?
The police are investigating it,
so wouldn't they find it strange too?
Since an envelope of money was found,
so they'll investigate
based on the evidence,
not the circumstance.
Then they'll miss the golden time.
Still, I think the police
will find a suspect
from the students first.
I think so too.
And that'd be me.
What?
What? It's you?
I went to see Professor Yu
in his office the night before.
But still, you didn't leak the paper.
Of course he didn't.
Professor Yu didn't do it either.
He's being framed.
I must catch the culprit.
Speaking of which,
can you guys help me?
Never mind. It's exam week.
I'll get going.
Kang Sun-ho!
What do you think you're doing?
Of course we must help you
when you're in trouble.
Exams? They're not important at all!
He's right.
Sun-ho, I might not be of much help,
but I
I want to help you too.
You would've done the same
if this happened to me.
That's right, brother.
Don't underestimate us.
We're friends, after all.
You guys
Hey, don't get emotional.
We're running out of time.
You're right.
Don't get emotional.
We're running out of time.
What shall we start with?
It looks like most of the kids
from our year bought the leaked paper.
Then Beom-tae and Joon-wuk,
start with questioning.
Question those
who didn't buy the paper like me,
or those who borrowed it.
And those who didn't buy it
when they're likely to do so.
Let's narrow down suspects
by questioning them.
Also, find out Dong-gu's alibi
since he sold the paper.
-Roger that.
-Roger that.
What about us?
We must go to the crime site first.
Evidence and clues
are always left at the scene.
Let's go.
They haven't caught the culprit
when there's a camera right here?
We'll find out if we can
watch the footage even just once.
Let's see if we can do that.
No.
Those at Asan Police Station
believe that this case
could have been an inside job,
so even the professors
aren't allowed to access it.
Then can we take a quick look at it here?
Goodness. I already said no.
Get out.
I think I saw someone fiddling
with the CCTV camera in front of
Professor Yu's office.
You saw who it was?
Was it a man or a woman?
That I don't know. It was too dark.
Get out. Go.
-Please
-Go, get out.
SITUATION ROOM
So it's true that the CCTV caught
someone fiddling with the camera.
I'm impressed.
The other guys must've
finished their job by now. Let's go.
Can you let go?
Right.
Shall we?
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Dong-gu got his hands on the exam paper
on Monday, around midnight.
He found it on top of the printer
in the Dormitory copy room.
According to him,
that was when he printed copies of it.
There are seven students
who didn't buy those copies.
Dong-gu the seller,
Kang-hui, Jae-gyeong,
Sun-ho, Min-gyu,
Seong-su, and Hae-ju.
Wait. Cha Seong-su
and An Hae-ju didn't buy it?
Right?
Those two, of all people,
must have bought it.
What's more shocking is that
over 80 percent of the students
bought the copy.
That's right.
Park Dong-gu should become
a salesman, not a cop.
So we have two suspects.
I'll talk with Hae-ju.
Joon-wuk and Beom-tae,
you two talk with Seong-su.
I'll see if we can get our hands
on the CCTV footage somehow.
We'll be able to save Professor Yu, right?
Are you going to keep up
this uncooperative attitude?
Mr. Yu Dong-man!
Goodness.
I talked to Hae-ju.
She said the one who left the copy room
before her was wearing a neon watch.
Check Cha Seong-su's watch.
If it's a neon watch,
he's the one who found it first.
INVESTIGATION TASK FORCE, 4 MEMBERS
It's exam time. Shouldn't you be studying?
I have somewhere to be.
Let's talk another time.
What about me?
"Another time," again?
I
I like you.
I don't expect you
to give me your answer now.
I'm just telling you how I feel.
Okay, I see
Then let's talk another time.
THE 41ST CHUNGRAM SPORTS FESTIVAL
WOMEN'S DORMITORY
Okay. Let's just talk now.
Min-gyu, there's someone I like.
I can't afford to worry
about how upset you are
because I'm so worried
about him right now.
Who is that?
Is it Kang Sun-ho?
I have to go.
You'd like to see the CCTV footage?
Yes. I know
that I'm not allowed to view it,
but I figured you probably can access it.
That's a lot to ask.
Right, I apologize.
I'm aware it's a lot to ask,
but I wanted to give it a shot.
Why is that?
Because trying is better
than doing nothing.
There are times when doing nothing
is better for your own sake.
I've got nothing to lose,
and nothing will change
if I stand still and do nothing.
When you're investigating a case,
you must keep
pushing forward to find clues.
That's what Professor Yu taught me.
I'm worried you'd trip and fall
if you keep pushing forward.
But that's not a failure.
Wouldn't it be a process
to learn to walk straight?
I still remember what you told us
when we went to the shooting range
for the first time.
You said we as police officers
must pick up guns
to protect and save lives, not to kill.
Would you hand me a bullet,
so I can protect Professor Yu?
At three o'clock. A neon watch, confirmed.
At eight o'clock. Also confirmed.
What are you guys doing?
No matter the angle,
-it is indisputably neon.
-What?
I heard the CCTV footage shows
the person who first found the exam paper.
Hey, what do you mean?
There are no cameras there
So it was you.
Cha Seong-su, you have
the right to refuse to make a statement.
Don't move! You'll be given
a chance to explain yourself
and have the right to an attorney.
You may request the court
to review the legality of this arrest
-That's not right.
-What?
Take it up with the Leadership Room,
not the court.
-Stay still.
-Let me go, you crazy jerks!
Hey, you'll break my arms!
-Hey, Beom-tae.
-Seong-su did find it first.
But someone was in the copy room
before he got there.
What?
Can we talk?
If you've got something to say,
just say it and leave.
I told you.
I will find evidence
to prove that you did it.
I have Cha Seong-su's statement
that he ran into you in the copy room
the night the exam paper got leaked.
Such statements or circumstantial clues
cannot serve as admissible evidence.
Which is why I'm planning to secure
physical evidence as well.
That way
I can save Professor Yu,
your supervisor.
I'm going to save him.
Do you really think
saving Dong-man from this case
is a good thing for him?
This time, it was only an exam paper.
Aren't you scared that something worse
might happen to him next?
No, I'm not scared.
That must be exactly
what they want.
Us getting scared because of this incident
and stepping back
so that we stop investigating any further.
Both Professor Yu and I
will never give those jerks
what they want.
Are you sure
you can handle this?
Do you think you can stay
next to Dong-man until the end
without running away?
Yes.
He's better than me.
Have you checked on it, Captain?
Cheol-jin did withdraw ten million won.
What on earth is going on?
Did he get blackmailed or something?
Okay, Captain. I'll call you again.
Can I make another call?
Hello?
It's me.
We have all the witness statements,
but we don't have the final blow.
That hurt.
Where did Sun-ho go?
Let's find the last piece of evidence.
-What is that?
-What is it?
-What is that?
-What is that?
Did you find something?
Yes.
I have something to report.
Pause it.
What? Only his hand was caught.
Wait. I'm sure it's a man's hand.
The culprit is a male.
I don't think we'll be able to tell
who turned the camera.
What are you doing?
I can see something!
We got him!
Hey, but isn't he
the new professor?
He is. It's Professor Park Cheol-jin.
Let's go.
Did he get blackmailed or something?
Sir.
-All right.
-Let's go.
There are only two.
No!
It still hurts on rainy days.
And I still turn around in panic mode,
thinking someone
might attack me from behind.
-So please
-I'll never let you go!
Cheol-jin!
Dong-man!
Don't leave me alone.
I'll show you
that I deserve to be called your partner.
My gut feeling tells me
that this case is dangerous.
I was appointed as a professor
at Korean National Police University.
-What?
-Cheol-jin asked for it,
saying he wants to work by your side.
From now, I'll always be behind you,
so don't be scared.
You will never give up, will you?
You'll never give up
on going after those jerks, will you?
Let's
start with the report.
Are you serious?
I got the permission slip
to go out from Professor Seo.
The taxi is here. Let's hurry.
Hello. This is Seo Sang-hak.
What did you say?
Exam papers were leaked
right before the final exams
at Korean National Police University.
The cradle of justice,
Korean National Police University.
KCS will report thorough coverage
of the corruption case
that overshadows the school's philosophy.
It hasn't been a year since Professor Yu
was appointed to this school,
but he leaked the exam paper
of the subject he's teaching.
According to the Asan Police Station,
Yu denied all charges at first,
but he ended up admitting them
during the investigation.
Why did he admit them all of a sudden?
He didn't do it.
Sir, could you speed up a little?
Sure.
The police are suspecting him
of solicitation,
and they will investigate further
to find the illegal dealings made.
Im Hyeon-seok, KCS News.
It's still under investigation,
so we're not sure
There's nothing we can say.
-I'm sorry.
-That's
Where is Mr. Park Cheol-jin?
Who gave you the money?
I have no idea.
I heard I'd get paid in cash
if I handed over the exam paper.
I thought you wanted us
to start writing a report.
What is this?
Gosh.
What are you talking about?
Hello?
It's me.
I was wondering if you were doing okay.
You picked up. I guess you're fine.
-That's all I needed to know.
-Dong-man.
How can you worry about me
even in this situation?
I told you that I'd protect you.
That damn promise.
I'm finally keeping my word, you punk.
I was the one
who leaked the exam paper.
What do you think you're doing?
You should've been the one to cuff me.
Hey, Park Cheol-jin!
I was just trying to make
some money on the side
but ended up coming this far.
Hey, you idiot!
You should have given up
when you found the bug.
What was the point of me
acting like I lost my memory?
-You just wouldn't hit the brakes.
-You jerk! Shut your mouth!
Senior Inspector Yu Dong-man.
My supervisor.
You no longer need to have my back.
You crazy idiot!
I didn't get into this school
to learn from some jerk like Yu Dong-man.
Who is the student
that tipped off the press?
If you did it because of me,
don't do it ever again.
-How dare he touch her?
-She smiled.
Don't smile for him!
So you're innocent, right?
If this turns out to be a lie,
I will cut all ties with you.
I want to investigate the case with you.
And I like you, Kang Sun-ho.
What you saw and learned
isn't a proper way to do things,
-so forget all about it.
-No, I don't want to.
I went through hoops to learn them.
Why should I forget them?
Okay. I will.
The burner phone is on.
So it was you?
