Rock Paper Scissors!

Get in there.

You always play rock.

Idiot, it's you who always

play scissors. Go!

Sh*t.

Come on in.

Okay.

Go to Room 3.

I'm actually here to find someone.

Room 3.

Yes, sir.

That looks yummy.

It's just ramen noodles. Geez.

Hold back the urge. I can do it.

I must.

Wow, sausage.

That's my favorite.

I can keep watch from inside.

Who are you looking for?

She's got a small face.

I don't know her name.

What about her body?

She's tall.

You know her?

What the

Oh my god.

It's so good.

I need sausage.

How cute! Are you in the army?

Yes.

What're you doing?

The text

Sit.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll start.

Lie down. What's wrong?

Wait, wait.

Did you sterilize the ear pick?

No, does it need to be?

No, ma'am.

Okay then. Relax.

Uh oh. That isn't good.

Oh man.

Hey, pigs!

Sir, just ignore him.

Kids like him end up criminals.

I think he's drunk.

Hello, pigs!

Pigs.

Sir?

Hey, pigs.

Pigs!

You come here.

Stop right there.

Why would I do that?

Hey!

Hey!

You guys need to work out.

Stop, stop, stop!

I'm gonna go in deeper.

Okay, ma'am.

That's a big one. Stay still.

Is he Captain America

or something?

I think he realized his mistakes.

Justice rains from above.

You, pigs.

He realized?

Uh oh.

Stop right there.

Stop, you little punk!

You should come here more often.

Look at all these.

Okay.

You know what? I'm not here

to get my ear cleaned.

What?

Then why're you here?

Should I tell you?

Oh my goodness.

Dear Mama, get well.

What's wrong?

A few hours ago,

my friend and I saw

some men knocking out a girl

and kidnapping her.

Then I found out

that she works here.

Wait. Who?

She has a small face.

She's about 5'7".

Her hair is about this long.

We got a lot of girls like that.

Anything else?

I think she left work

around midnight tonight.

- Is it Yun-Jung?

- Yun-Jung.

- Her hair color?

- Brown.

Oh my. I think it's Yun-Jung.

What should we do?

Please calm down.

You know her address?

No, she ran away from home

a long time ago.

She ran away?

Yeah, she's 17.

Isn't it illegal to hire a minor?

I'm working illegally too.

This whole place is illegal.

So you don't know

where Yun-Jung lives.

She told me she lives with

her runaway friends nearby.

Should I ask the other girls?

Yes, please.

Okay.

64 Nonhyun-ro 27.

Geez.

What the heck?

Run.

- What's wrong?

- Run fast!

I got her address.

Run for now.

- What's with the patrol car?

- Just run.

What's going on?

Is this it?

Watch your head.

I think this is the place.

Hello.

Someone's home.

Who are you?

Hello.

I was told that Yun-Jung lives here.

Who are you?

We're from Police University.

We saw Yun-Jung get kidnapped.

Is someone else in there?

Okay. I'll open the door.

Okay.

Gun-young, is Yun-Jung okay?

Shut the f*** up.

You hear something?

Hey, open up.

Pull it.

He ran away through there.

Go that way.

I'll go outside.

I'll go this way.

I'll go there.

Hi-yah!

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Did you do that?

Yeah.

Jackpot.

What do we do?

This actually works.

Do as you were taught.

As we were taught?

Come here.

Why'd you run?

Because you were

coming after me.

You must've run because

you've done something bad.

I didn't do anything bad.

Please tell me the pass code.

Don't be so polite.

Tell me the pass code, biatch.

Yeah, a**hole.

- This really hurts.

- Tell me now.

Stupid ass.

How do you know Yun-Jung?

This really hurts a lot.

I'll tell you everything

if you let me loose.

I wired $1,000

You sold off Yun-Jung, didn't you?

I don't know anything.

I just told them her name.

To who? To Gun-ho?

He said he'll pay for runaway kids.

Who is Gun-ho?

He's just a guy I know.

Where's he right now?

Where is he?

Lamb kebabs. In Daerim-dong.

- I have his business card in my wallet.

- Find his wallet.

Come here, a**hole.

He's loaded.

What're they doing to the kids?

I don't know.

You don't know what they'll do,

yet you still sold them off?

I need money.

A**hole.

No matter how poor you are.

Have you no shame?

Gi-jun.

Hegang Lamb Kebab

Hegang?

Let's go talk to the kids

at Yun-jung's place.

Get statements

from acquaintances.

It'll be dangerous for them

to stay there tonight.

I bet you're hungry.

We need to ask some questions

about Yun-Jung. Can we come in?

How did you meet Yun-Jung?

We met at the runaway shelter.

When?

About a year ago.

Why did Yun-Jung

run away from home?

She said her stepfather

beat her all the time.

She said sometimes

he beat her unconscious.

Where's Yun-Jung?

Some bad men knocked her down

with a bat and kidnapped her.

Oh, Yun-Jung.

Oh no.

How could you tell

them that, crazy ass?

I thought they should know.

Is she hurt badly?

What? No.

She wasn't hurt too badly.

We're looking for her

so don't worry.

Mister.

I can't live without her.

Could you please find her?

Please?

Please save her.

Girls.

We'll find Yun-Jung no matter what.

So don't cry.

Take this.

And get out of here.

Find some place warm to sleep.

When we find Yun-Jung,

we'll call you.

I see a taxi.

Taxi, taxi!

Get in.

Hello.

To Daerim-dong, please.

Where in Daerim-dong?

Here's the address.

For police to work,

someone needs to report a crime,

or police need orders from above.

That's right.

But no one'll report a crime

when a runaway is kidnapped.

Family won't know she's missing

because she's already gone.

Runaway friends are afraid of cops

so they won't call in.

They calculated the target,

place and everything else.

They're smart.

What do you think they're doing

to the kidnap victims?

Human trafficking.

Sir, please hurry.

F***ing b*tch.

- Get her.

- Okay.

Please don't kill me.

Medicine time.

Student ID:
Yun-Jung Lee

Guys, this is Daerim-dong.

I can't believe this is Korea.

Look at the signs.

This is China.

I've never seen anything like it.

What the

You guys.

Only Korean Chinese live here.

Many stabbing incidents

happen at night.

There are many ruthless illegals

that cops won't even touch.

You shouldn't walk around

if unnecessary.

Thank you.

This is the place. Thank you.

Thank you.

Right?

Yup.

Let's go.

We close at 4 am.

Order from 2 servings.

Okay.

He's pretty good.

- This game is fixed.

- Give me the phone.

What?

The phone.

It's not fixed.

But how come I keep losing?

Stupid moron.

Not yours. The a**hole's.

Gun-ho

If I lose again,

this game is fixed.

- That's our guy.

- That's him.

- You sure the game isn't fixed?

- Yeah.

What do we do now?

First, let's order.

Stupid ass.

This place is expensive.

Shall we go?

- Okay, let's go.

- Sure.

- Let's go.

- Who are you?

Where's Gun-young?

Where's Gun-young?

Why do you have

Gun-young's phone?

Why do you have

Gun-young's phone?

Who are you?

Who the f*** are you?

Who are you?

Hee-yeol!

Gi-jun, you okay?

Yeah.

We kick ass.

Let's get him to talk.

Where's Yun-Jung?

Where's Yun-Jung?

Start talking.

Tell us now.

I'll never tell you, shithead.

Crazy ass,

you think this is a joke?
