That's it.

My father was Class of 1985

of Police University.

From early on,

my father taught me well

You'll eventually learn them here.

Order and justice are important.

I want to become

a police officer just like my father.

you'll choose one from Taekwondo,

Judo, Aikido, and Kendo

It's the Mt. Buphwa race.

According to our tradition,

candidates who can run up and

back down the mountain in one hour

will be accepted into the university.

But those who fail will be denied

entrance for lack of physical competence.

Those who fail to reach the top

will also be denied entrance.

Run with all your might.

Sorry but gotta go.

these two helping each other.

Put your hand down.

Raise your hand

if you haven't seen these two.

Candidates, on the ground.

Now!

It's our job to help people in need.

How can you call yourselves police

when you only care about yourselves?

Even if you made it back on time,

you've all failed.
