2 Years Later

Man

Gi-jun.

Yeah?

I wanna wear civilian clothes.

I hate the color green.

Especially this shade of green.

Hey, wait up.

Wait up.

List 3 sources of investigation

Examine victim, evidence, crime scene.

Passion, tenacity,

Big heart

Okay.

Most abduction cases target

female adults and children under 13.

Time is the most important factor

in abduction cases.

A missing person's survival rate

falls significantly as the time passes.

What do you call the time period

that a victim's most likely to be killed?

Jae-ho.

It's the golden time.

That's for hospitals.

It's the critical hours.

Bingo.

Listen carefully.

For an adult female,

the critical hours are 7 hours afterwards.

Statistically, 70% of the victims

are killed during that time.

As I've said last week, today I'll teach

you very useful self-defense techniques.

Any volunteers?

I will.

- Hi-yah!

- Hi-yah!

When a suspect

attacks with a weapon.

Slowly.

Slowly!

When a perpetrator

attacks with a weapon,

you cross your wrists and

trap the suspect's arm.

Jump and boom!

Hi-yah!

See that?

Yes, sir.

His arm is stuck in between

my wrists.

Yes, sir.

Then you make a big semicircle

and bend his wrist.

Now the attacker is

bound to drop his knife.

See that?

Yes, sir.

Now, you'll strike his nose

with your palm.

Hi-yah!

If the attacker's still standing,

play your last secret card.

Strike the attacker's neck.

Hi-yah!

That looks truly helpful.

A round of applause.

Applause.

Hi-yah!

Hi-yah!

Hee-yeol.

What're you doing for Christmas?

I'm going to an Internet cafe

with Gi-jun.

I'm gonna hang out with my girlfriend.

You don't have a girlfriend.

I know.

You stupid fools.

What?

What's this?

My girlfriend.

Where'd you meet her?

I don't see why

I have to tell you that.

Nope, I don't think so.

Gi-jun, make him talk.

Let me interrogate.

Where'd you meet her?

Where?

At a club.

Which club?

No way. I'm not telling you.

Which club?

Octagon.

It's club Octagon.

He met her at Octagon?

Is it expensive to get in to Octagon?

Octagon?

$30 for a cover. With drinks,

it'll get seriously expensive.

We won't order drinks.

How will you pick up girls

without buying them drinks?

Look. My mom said that

women fall for men with cute smiles.

Give me a smile.

Wow, you've got lots of teeth.

Shut your trap.

Try showing only up to your cuspids.

A little more.

This is no good either.

Darn you.

But you're better looking than Jae-ho.

Sh*t, he looks old.

That just looked good.

- This?

- Yeah.

- This looks good?

- Yeah.

Say that I'm better looking

than Jae-ho again.

You're better looking than Jae-ho.

Sh*t, he looks old.

This?

- You got it.

- Oh yeah?

- I got it, I got it.

- You got it, you got it.

We're ready to go.

- Bang!

- Bang!

Hey, which one looks better?

Sh*t. They're all crap.

This one's better.

What about me?

Sh*t.

It's a duffle coat and its twin.

What're you gonna wear?

I know what I'm gonna wear.

Sh*t, is that from a donation bin?

This is Cambridge Members.

Cambridge or whatever it is.

If you wear that, we won't get in

even with a $30 cover charge.

Then what do I do?

This is all I got.

This ain't good.

Let's get some help.

No matter how hard you try,

you can't flip Gi-jun over.

I can do it.

- Hi.

- I can do it.

Choose from here.

Choose what?

- What?

- Thanks.

No, that's brand new!

What're you looking at?

Wait, I have to focus.

Okay, got it.

Let me borrow this for a day.

Why should I?

Because we're friends?

Not good enough.

What do you want?

Me?

During judo class,

let me win by ippon

in front of everyone.

Crazy ass

Okay.

A shoulder-throw?

Okay.

You need cologne.

That smells great.

Let's go.

She's from the TV show,

Unpretty Rapstar.

- What's up?

- Unpretty Rapstar!

Yeah, AHN Soo-min.

Holy sh*t.

- This place kicks ass.

- Kickass!

- Over there.

- Let's go.

Finally!

Hello.

Are you on your military leave?

Pardon me?

Are you in the military?

I see.

I'm a Police University student.

Oh, you're a cop.

Hi, sweetie.

Sh*t, he looks old.

Hey there.

You're cute.

Pardon?

Let's go dance.

Hey!

Hi, sweetie.

Bye.

Hello.

What're you doing for Christmas?

What line of work are you in?

I'm a student.

Are you studying abroad?

No, at Police University.

So you're a police officer?

Yes. No, when I graduate.

Why would you do that?

You'll be poor for life.

MISSING:
Sanmyung Group owner's

grandson CHOI

You really think

we should become cops?

What's wrong?

I've been thinking.

At least Jae-ho has a goal.

We don't.

I'm here because I'm penniless,

and you came here by accident.

Dang.

After we graduate,

we'll be cops for life.

I don't know if this is right.

School is boring for me too.

Hi-yah, my ass.

They teach useless stuff.

I put up with it for 2 years already.

I can't drop out now.

What're we doing for Christmas?

I don't know. Christmas, my ass.

How about Italian? I'll buy.

I know. I'm sorry.

Idiot.

Let's get out. I feel suffocated.

What do you wanna do?

How about Internet cafe

right about now?

I think it's Overwatch time?

Die. Die.

Die.

Let's go.

Nerf this!

I love you too, girl.

All right. I'll be home soon.

- Hee-yeol, you saw that?

- Yup. The pink one.

I think God has given us

one last chance.

If she turns around right now,

it's a sign from God.

- Okay. Turn around.

- Turn around.

Turn around.

Turn

- Holy.

- Wow.

What just happened?

Holy geez.

- Jackpot! Sweet!

- No way.

She's gone. Let's go!

If we follow her like this,

she might take it the wrong way.

Then what should we do?

Let's just follow her.

Don't hit me, a**hole.

It's now or never.

Go ask her number.

You do it.

You're better looking than me.

Come on.

I agree with you on that,

but let's do rock-paper-scissors.

Rock Paper Scissors!
