POLICE UNIVERSITY
41ST ENTRANCE CEREMONY
ALL CHARACTER, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
KANG DONG-YEONG, HAN YEONG-SEON
Are you watching over Sun-ho?
You know that he got into
the Police University, right?
But now that I know
he is going to become a cop,
my heart sinks
every time I hear the sirens at night.
You'd better protect Sun-ho at all times.
I wanted to be thanked
for raising him well,
but he grew up so well all on his own,
so I'm grateful every day.
Today,
I'm going to see our son.
Let's grab a drink together
in my dream when I'm back.
Yeong-seon, you should come too.
Let's go, Sun-ho.
PROFESSOR SEO SANG-HAK
The suspension is
too light of a punishment
for what this student did.
And now, you want to cancel it?
Sir.
What Professor Yu Dong-man
and Kang Sun-ho did
was dangerous indeed,
but they did it to stop the intruder
in possession of a firearm.
And I believe
what they did is in line with the ideals
that we teach and strive to achieve here.
But the rules
For that, wouldn't giving him
the same punishment
that other students received
be sufficient?
It's all my fault.
I failed to foresee
that it could lead to an accident.
How could you have foreseen the accident?
I could have.
And I had to.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
I apologize for not being able to stay
until the end of the semester.
Professor Seo.
I made this decision for the sake
of the school and our students.
This way,
the school can protect the students
no matter what happens.
LEADERSHIP ROOM
I guess I can say
that I've done enough.
Wait, Kang-hui.
Let's stop it now.
I've finished
all the cleaning and training
I promised to complete.
You mean you finished
cleaning the ladies' room
-on the third, fourth, and fifth floor?
-Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry
that I went out without permission
while I was on probation.
I'll make sure not to repeat
what I've done.
Can you keep your word?
-Yes.
-I'll keep an eye on you.
Okay, then. You may leave.
So who was it? Which grade was his son in?
It was the father of Kang Sun-ho,
a freshman.
He didn't know he needed prior permission
before entering the premises.
Isn't he on probation at home?
Why is his father here?
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
I didn't know I had to request visitation
before coming here.
I didn't know that.
Most parents don't know.
Oh, right. Sun-ho is
not on campus because he's with
Professor Yu at the on-the-job training
for Investigation Studies.
I see
No wonder his phone was off.
That must be why.
Still, I got to see you.
It was worth the visit.
Actually, I got these for you.
Me?
Sun-ho told me that you love peaches.
He talks about you all the time
when he calls me.
So hearing him talking about you
makes me happy.
Thank you
for making him talk to me more.
I'm sorry for taking your time
when you must be busy studying.
You should get back inside.
Thank you for the peaches.
I'll enjoy them.
Thank you.
If you get a break, visit our place again.
I'll make you something delicious.
-Okay.
-See you.
ATTORNEY VISITATION ROOM
We only ran the illegal gambling ring
to help police officers like you.
We used that money
to defend your pathetic sense of justice!
Who told you to?
Professor Seo Sang-hak?
Did he go to his class?
ZELKOVA TREE FOUNDATION
JAN 28TH, 2019
HAN JEONG-SIK
LEDGER
ZELKOVA TREE FOUNDATION
Take a seat.
It's going to take a while.
Yes, this is Seo Sang-hak.
Are you the guardian of Mr. Seo Min-u?
We're calling
from Sangjin University Hospital.
Professor Seo Sang-hak.
-Professor Seo!
-Professor Seo.
MUNSEONG POLICE STATION
CHIEF JEONG JUN-HO
THE LATE SEO MIN-U
FATHER SEO SANG-HAK
Are you really not going in?
No.
Why did you tell him
you'll wait until the funeral is over?
Because even the inmates in prison
get furloughs
when their family members die.
Then why are you here?
The suspect
I need to keep an eye on him
since he might run.
What are you looking at, you punk?
You know
Go Deok-bae told us earlier
that he's responsible
for all the bad deeds.
That Professor Seo had no idea
how it operated.
So what?
I don't believe his nonsense,
and even if he really had no idea,
that doesn't make him innocent.
Nothing changes the fact
that he ran an illegal gambling ring.
And as soon as the funeral is over,
he'll be arrested.
Right.
You should go inside and pay respect.
You're not even in the force yet.
You're only a student
who studied with Professor Seo.
Go in there and pay respects.
Attention.
Present arms.
Order arms.
I see many alumni of KNPU.
It's only natural
since his son went to KNPU.
Was his son really in a coma
for the past ten years?
Yes. He got injured
while chasing a suspect.
How could he keep that from us?
He's been keeping it a secret from us.
He didn't have to tell us.
It's about his family,
and it's a personal matter.
-What?
-Stop it.
You've had enough to drink.
Gosh, both his wife and his son
What does he have now? Gosh.
Jae-kyeong. Have you seen Kang-hui?
Sun-ho.
Professor Seo canceled your suspension.
You can come to school starting Monday.
It's been hard, right?
And we heard about it too.
You and Kang-hui
Are you all right?
-How's Kang-hui?
-What?
Is she all right?
Kang-hui went back to school
after giving condolences.
WE RESPECTFULLY EXPRESS
OUR CONDOLENCES
JAN 28TH, 2019
HAN JEONG-SIK
Then on that day,
they used 5,000,000 won that was
donated by Zelkova Tree Foundation
as hospital bills, right?
Okay, I see. Thank you.
Only Chief Han's record is wrong,
so we must be right.
What should we do now?
Captain, Chief Han is going
on leave this afternoon.
He suddenly took sick leave during lunch.
"Sick leave," my foot.
For now, with these two documents,
I'll request a warrant for his arrest.
But we only have
the ledger and delivery records.
I don't think we can connect him
to the gambling ring.
It doesn't matter.
It's a fact that he took the money.
Find solid evidence of him
helping the illegal gambling ring
as fast as you can.
He took that much money from them,
so there must be something
that will connect him to it.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Hello?
I'm Professor Kwon Hyuk-phil
at the Police University.
We're going to arrest Chief Han
right away.
I'm sorry for suspecting you,
Professor Choi.
I'm sorry too.
For not telling you the real culprit
when I already knew who it was.
I told him to turn himself in.
He asked me to give him some time
to wrap up his work at school,
so I've been waiting for him.
But then, you came to see me.
How long have you known about this,
Professor Choi?
On the day
we arrested Go Deok-bae.
-Goodness.
-I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
ZELKOVA TREE FOUNDATION
The external hard drive
that we took in as evidence.
It was my husband's.
So I went to see Chief Han.
I wanted to check the evidence again.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMEN
There's no such external hard drive
in the evidence list.
That doesn't make sense.
I saw it with my own eyes.
LIST OF EVIDENCE
Maybe you got confused
with something else.
After that, as you know,
I went to see Go Deok-bae.
I thought she was going to Daejeon.
My husband's belonging
was with the illegal gambling ring.
I wanted to know why it was there.
And then,
the foundation came out from nowhere.
About Zelkova Tree Foundation
Did Mr. Lee Ju-won start it
in the first place?
In the beginning, yes.
At first, Ju-won
and his partner Min-u,
and Min-u's father, Professor Seo.
These three started the foundation.
But soon
one died, and one got hurt.
I'm looking for Lee Ju-won.
He's Lee Ju-won, a police officer.
-Where are you going?
-Ma'am.
It was you, right?
He was trying to save you.
That happened to my boy because of you.
He was trying to save someone like you.
My Min-u and Ju-won
-My goodness.
-Ma'am.
Bring him back!
Bring back my son and Ju-won!
-What
-My son
-Because of you!
-What are you talking about?
Why would Ju-won
Bring him back!
I didn't know either.
That it was Professor Go
who Ju-won and Min-u saved.
What an irony.
I didn't recognize him
when he was right there.
How could you have recognized him?
It's been ten years.
But still,
if I had recognized him earlier,
I would have been able
to stop Professor Seo sooner.
What about that photo?
Five years ago,
Professor Seo said
that he would run the foundation again.
So I was there once.
Since then,
Professor Seo and I have never talked
about the foundation again.
If we bring that up,
we would have to talk about
Ju-won and Min-u again.
You said it's been ten years, right?
Do you think Professor Seo
made that wrong choice
while seeing his unconscious son
for that long time?
Everyone goes through hard times.
If you went through that,
does that give you a right
to pull a stunt like that?
Sun-ho. Let's meet
at school after the weekend.
Leaving just you and Jae-kyeong
I don't think this is right.
-Let's stay here together, Sun-ho.
-Come here.
Let's go eat something, okay?
Please don't be like this.
Professor Seo.
You need to eat.
You have to eat something
to be able to give your statement.
You must tell them
why you did such a thing
and who else was in on it.
They'll go through
every single piece of evidence
that they've found so far,
so you need to eat
and get your energy back.
You see, I don't understand
why you did such a thing.
No, I refuse to understand you.
Even if you say you helped the police
with that money,
you can't deny
that you used your power
to commit a crime.
So please
don't say that you did it
to protect the police.
Officer Kim Eun-ju lost her life
while trying to track down
the illegal gambling ring that you ran.
Inspector Park Cheol-jin,
who believed that it was justice,
is in jail now,
and Go Deok-bae committed another crime
because of you
after serving his time.
And because of what you did,
we have a corrupt officer
like Han Jeong-sik.
That fact will never change.
So don't you dare say again
that you did it to protect
that darn belief of yours.
I am
sorry for everything.
If you want to apologize,
do it to the court and our students,
not to me.
You'll be transferred
first thing tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Let's do that.
Hey, did you arrest Chief Han?
LEDGER
Darn it.
Get him. Go.
-Hey, stop!
-Get him!
Goodness.
RECORDING 01
I was wondering how the money grew,
but then I found out
that you deliberately grew it.
What do you mean, Chief Han?
Come on. Don't be like this.
You and I both know that I have
some shares in the foundation.
I worked very hard
to help you stay anonymous.
Have you already forgotten all about it?
Let's talk at the precinct.
I'll tell them everything.
Tell them what?
You see, I respect your wishes.
When you're making a donation
to the Seoul Police Agency,
just add a little extra for me.
That's all I ask for.
About 10,000,000 won a month.
Since you got your noble hands dirty,
you should go the full distance, sir.
Even if you quit now,
the crimes you committed won't go away.
You don't want another officer
to get hurt like Min-u did, right?
Get him.
Let go!
Chief Han
Han Jeong-sik,
you're under arrest
for aiding and abetting
the operation of an illegal casino
and accepting bribes.
No, you got the wrong person!
All I did was accept a personal donation.
-You have the right to an attorney.
-Darn it.
Hey, this is all part of
Seo Sang-hak's scheme.
I said, let go. Let go of me!
-Hands off!
-My goodness.
He should be charged
with brawling as well.
I am warning you. You'll regret this.
You're wrongfully accusing
an innocent person!
Let go.
Let go. Hey! I said, let go!
You will regret this!
Darn it. Let go of me!
Let go!
If you want to apologize,
do it to the court and our students,
not to me.
Is it wrong to steal from bad people?
But it's not like
the law will go easy on you
just because you're poor
and had no choice.
WE RESPECTFULLY EXPRESS
OUR CONDOLENCES
Professor Yu.
KNPU NOTICE OF DEATH
INSPECTOR KIM HAN-SOL, AGE 27
HANEUL FUNERAL HALL, 1ST FLOOR
I'm sorry.
What should I do
so that
no one gets hurt anymore?
What
must I do?
Is that your conclusion?
Is that the conclusion you reached
after everything you have done?
I also committed a crime
just like you did.
I needed money
for my father's hospital bill.
That's why
I hacked the illegal gambling ring
and stole their money.
I thought it wasn't a crime
to use the money
stolen from the bad guys.
But Professor Yu told me this.
Just because we have
our stories and excuses,
that doesn't mean we can break the law.
But
seeing where you are now made it clear.
That we should never break laws.
That we can't protect anyone
by breaking laws,
and that running away
doesn't excuse my wrongdoings.
So please come with me, Professor Seo.
Come with me,
and show me
how you pay for your crimes.
You need to show me
so that I can learn from you,
Professor Seo.
Your initial decision
might have been wrong,
but this time,
you can do the right thing.
I
I don't deserve to do that.
Of course, you don't.
You're trying to run away like a coward
without paying for what you've done.
It's just as Sun-ho said. Is this it?
I once admired you
as my senior.
Opening the gambling house,
seizure of proceeds from crime,
and additional charges on bribery.
You admitted to all of them.
Mr. Seo.
Come down to the station with me.
Just like that,
the cooperative investigation
between Professor Yu and me
came to an end.
Did you share
any investigation information
with the operator
of the illegal gambling ring
that was run
from December 2016 to June 2021?
Yes. I constantly shared
what Senior Inspector Yu,
the detective in charge, was investigating
on the illegal gambling ring
with Go Deok-bae.
How can you explain
the reopening of the site on June 24
when it went quiet
after the arrest of Park Cheol-jin?
We wanted to make a quick buck
before fleeing to another country.
I'm sorry!
But sir, I'm telling you,
I don't know anything.
I only followed the orders
from the higher-ups!
Go Deok-bae, that jerk,
had an officer who could back him up.
So he reassured us
that we'll never get caught.
You can use a lie detector on me!
In return, you pocketed
a total of over 200,000,000 won
for the past two years.
You even tried to kill an officer,
after Go Deok-bae got caught!
I did not do anything like that.
Why don't we talk
when my attorney gets here?
No.
Chief Han asked for a slush fund himself.
How did it exactly happen?
Two years ago, Chief Han Jeong-sik
blackmailed us
after finding out the source of funds.
We wired 10,000,000 won
to his fake account
to keep his mouth shut.
I have backup data
that has the texts from him,
demanding me to make a fake account.
I'll submit that as evidence.
You opened the illegal gambling site
and the illegal gambling house
and operated them.
And through the Zelkova Tree Foundation,
you bribed some of its profits
to Chief Han Jeong-sik
of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Do you admit all your charges?
I do.
I admit all of my charges.
PROFESSOR SEO SANG-HAK
For the time being, Professor Kwon
will stand in as the head professor.
The students are agitated
by what happened on campus.
Please focus on your classes
so that the students can stay on track.
-Okay.
-All right.
I think I get him though.
Why Professor Seo
had to make such decisions.
Me too.
When my parents see an article
that says
someone from our school got hurt,
they throw a fit and tell me to quit.
I get what you mean,
but please don't follow them.
I'm sure many others also thought
of helping the good guys
with the money from the bad guys.
But we're all restraining ourselves
from it.
Because it's wrong.
That's why we have laws and society.
Got it?
CHUNGRAM LOUNGE
It's been a week already,
and everyone is still talking
about Professor Seo.
Then let's talk about something else.
Oh, I heard Kang-hui and Sun-ho broke up.
Is that true?
I don't know.
But I don't care now.
Unless Kang-hui wants me,
I can't force her.
Look at you. That was kind of cool.
Oh, right. Why didn't you ask for my help?
You said we should work on it together.
Just because.
It looked like you no longer wanted to.
That's why.
But I think
we did our best to get our crushes
to like us back.
What?
What is this?
My gosh! What is this?
TRADITIONAL TEA HOUSE
You must've been surprised
to get a call from me.
No, it's okay.
What did you want to talk to me about?
I visited the school recently.
I was told Sun-ho was out with you
for on-the-job training.
Right. We were
investigating something together.
But the leadership professor
came out and told me
that Sun-ho was suspended.
Right, that's
Professor Yu.
What has Sun-ho been up to?
You must be responsible
for your own choices.
The most important part
of an investigation
is catching the culprit.
You're wrong, you punk.
The most important part of
an investigation
is catching the culprit.
What a cop needs the most is
a good partner.
I am wrong sometimes,
and I also make mistakes.
That's why every cop needs a partner
and why two are better than one.
What are you doing here?
Let's go together.
Calm down.
That little rat.
Okay. I will.
Don't avoid anything.
Don't stop. Just keep going.
You can't avoid it even if you want to.
Nothing will change if I stop.
You crazy idiot!
I should at least keep going
to get something out of it, right?
Professor Seo Sang-hak.
Justice always prevails
as long as we don't give up.
However, if we do not give up
If the police persevere
and do not give up,
justice will certainly prevail.
So no matter what the case is,
let's never give up.
Do you understand?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
I'm proud of you
for not dozing off in class.
I want to become a cop soon.
-Me too.
-We can do this.
Did you call your dad?
-My dad?
-Yes.
No.
I've been all over the place.
You know,
on the day we were at the funeral,
your dad visited the school.
What?
He said he was in the area
and stopped by to see you.
I told him you were out
with Professor Yu Dong-man
for on-the-job training.
He asked me
if things were still good between us,
and I said yes.
So if he calls you,
just explain the situation to him.
He bought
some peaches for me,
and he made sure
to only pick out flawless ones.
Tell him I'm very grateful to him
for cherishing me with all his heart.
I just thought about
how awkward it would be if we broke up
and thought all would be fine
if we didn't run into each other.
But I was wrong.
This is really hard.
I'm
I'm really sorry, Kang-hui.
I thought it'd be okay for me
to stay by your side if I did this.
I thought
I'd feel confident enough
to be by your side
after I caught the culprit.
I thought
I'd be qualified
to become a police officer alongside you.
But that was foolish of me
because I was wrong.
With that said
Kang-hui.
We can go out tomorrow, you know.
Meet me at the front gate
at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
I should go.
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
PROFESSOR YU DONG-MAN
Wait, Min-gyu.
WELCOME TO
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
Shall we?
AYANG FOREST OF LOVE
It's so pretty.
Why did you ask me to come here with you?
It's where my grandma's house is.
I used to live there
whenever my mom went to prison.
Whenever I came to this park
when I was young,
I always wanted to have this ice cream.
It wasn't even a big deal,
but I couldn't ask my grandma
to buy me one.
I guess I was always on eggshells.
I'm sure
Grandma didn't think much about it at all.
YU DONG-MAN
PROFESSOR YU DONG-MAN
Shall we take photos too?
-I'll take one for you.
-Let's take it together.
Excuse me. Would you take a photo of us?
Sure.
Here. One second.
Stand there. In three, two, one.
Can you stand here?
Smile. In two, one.
All right. In three, two, one.
It looks nice.
We've never been on a proper date
while we were seeing each other.
-Kang-hui.
-I know.
I know you're trying to quit school.
I told you earlier
that I came here
every time my mom went to prison.
It's where I say goodbye.
For me, it's where
I said goodbye to mom, waited for her,
and met her again.
But this time, it's you.
I
I don't want to break up with you.
I really don't want to,
but I am
not good enough to stay by your side.
-That's why
-Didn't you hear me?
I told you it's where I met my mom again.
What I'm saying is
that you should come back.
You should come back
and meet me here again.
When you don't have to leave me,
come back to me.
DISCONTINUATION REQUISITION LETTER
KANG SUN-HO
Please sign it for me, Professor Yu.
-Hey.
-I've been
so grateful that you admitted me
into this school.
Thank you for letting such a fool like me
have a dream.
Sun-ho. Listen, you punk.
What I told Professor Seo Sang-hak
I meant all of it.
I want to stop running away.
When I can stand tall with confidence,
I'll apply to the school again.
I'm sorry for everything,
and thank you for everything.
Having your back made me feel reassured,
and it was really supportive.
I was really happy
DISCONTINUATION REQUISITION LETTER

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
Wait, Min-gyu.
Kang-hui,
Beom-tae, and Joon-wuk.
Please take good care of them.
What are you talking about?
You know
I hope you'll cut them some slack.
Also
next time we meet again
let's be friends.
WOMEN'S DORMITORY
Is Sun-ho really gone?
That jerk.
PROFESSOR YU DONG-MAN
Hey, Detective Joo.
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY
Because it's my dream
to become a police officer.
Dream?
My son, Sun-ho,
wants to become a police officer.
Dad!
I
I will make sure to get in!
Let's go.
Sun-ho.
Among everyone I met
at the Police University,
I think you would make the best cop.
It's not over until it's over.
-Third unit, we can make it!
-Yes!
-Let's do this.
-Let's go.
That means you all passed, you airheads.
But I've actually
never given it a thought.
What it means to become an officer
and to protect the citizens.
Then you can find your answer now.
We just got into this school.
We just started this journey.
I also won't
run from it any longer.
A way to protect my people.
The right way to protect them.
Not as Hacker Yoon,
but as a student of this school.
Can I find the right way
as I work with you?
You won't regret this?
You don't know what will happen,
who you'll meet,
and what kinds of dangerous things
await you.
Will you really be okay?
Yes.
It's because I trust him.
I mean Bird, not you.
-We won!
-Yes!
We won!
-Go, Team White!
-Go, Team White!
-We're invincible!
-We're invincible!
Son!
Dad.
SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM BYUNG-KI
