Hold him down.

Okay.

I said, talk.

Hell yeah.

What're you gonna do with that?

I don't know.

Start talking now.

What're you poking me with?

I won't tell you either, a**hole.

Let's use words.

Words? He's freaking vicious

and ignorant.

I'm freaking ignorant.

I can stick this all the way

up to your mouth.

I won't tell you a thing, shithead.

Crazy ass.

Then die.

Hurry up.

Which way? Talk now.

- Hurry up.

- Talk!

This way.

We have a situation at Hegang.

We need to go now.

What?

Gun-ho was taken.

Everyone, up!

Get out now. Hurry up!

Is this the right place?

Is this the right key?

Go up.

I'll go upstairs.

Okay.

Mister.

Please save me.

Mister.

I'm in here. Please help me.

Save me.

Get us out of here.

What is this place?

What're you up to?

We're getting eggs.

We give the girls shots

and get their eggs.

Gi-jun.

You need to come here now.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Even after we get their eggs out,

you can still screw them.

F***ing a**hole.

This room?

No, all these rooms.

What?

Open this door.

She's burning up.

Isn't this blood?

Blood?

Sh*t.

What do we do?

Let's take her to the hospital.

What about the other girls?

Let's take her to the hospital first.

Let's come back with the police.

Okay.

Be Careful

Let's go.

Hello, shitface.

Head!

Gi-jun, go.

Hurry and go.

I'll hurry back.

Don't come near.

Get back!

Get back!

Get back!

What?

Wait here.

Oh no.

Head!

You stay put.

Get him.

Hee-yeol!

Where are you going, f***er?

Gi-jun!

Who are you?

The police.

Can I see your badge?

You shouldn't play cop.

F***er.

This f***er can take it pretty well.

Get up.

Get up, b*tch.

Police?

Motherf***er.

Gi-jun.

Gi-jun.

Get up.

Gi-jun.

Hee-yeol.

Something's dripping down my face.

Your head's bleeding a lot.

I knew it.

It feels really hot.

I think they extract organs here.

Do something.

You go!

Be quiet.

It freaking hurts.

My shoulders hurt.

Where are our jackets?

It's all gone.

No wallet and no phone.

Let's get out of here for now.

Okay. No buttons either.

Was that you?

Gi-jun.

Go!

Run, run!

Run!

Get them!

It's a dead end.

Stop right there.

Go.

Sh*t!

Police station.

- Police station!

- We're almost there.

We're safe.

F***ers. Go get the girls. Now!

Hurry!

Where are they going?

Are they going back

to get the girls?

Let's go report them.

Hello.

How may I help you?

There are girls locked up

in an abandoned building.

An abandoned building?

I don't know exactly where it is.

It's within a 5 minute

running distance.

Come with us. We can explain.

Let's go.

First, let me see your IDs, please.

Pardon?

They took our wallets and phones.

I have to see your IDs first.

It's part of the process.

Can't you just look up

our resident number?

I need your photo IDs.

If we don't go now, I don't know

what's gonna happen to the girls.

- We must go now.

- He's right.

We have to follow the process.

Is the process more important

than a person's life?

Look.

Because of the process,

we can save people.

F***ing police. F*** you.

F*** you?

- Gi-jun.

- Come on!

Are you gonna be responsible

if something happens to those girls?

Huh? Are you?

You punks.

We're sorry.

Let's go.

You two, stop right there.

- Stop and do what?

- Gi-jun.

- Stop it.

- You're gonna shoot us?

Yes, I am.

Shoot me then.

- I will shoot.

- Shoot me.

What's this?

3 Missed Calls

Why're they handcuffed?

They didn't have IDs.

And they made a scene

at the police station.

They're Police University students.

Please let them go.

Please show me your ID.

I'm Prof. YANG Sung-il

at Police University.

Sir, girls are locked up

in an abandoned building.

What?

Someone's retrieving their eggs.

Where's this abandoned building?

In 2007, I caught an egg broker and

saw that ovulation drug for the first time.

A healthy woman normally

produces one egg per month.

With this drug, she can

produce up to 20 eggs.

Egg brokers connect infertile couples

and egg donors for a fee.

Listening to your story,

I think some criminal organization

kidnaps and locks up high school girls

and periodically retrieves their eggs,

like in an egg farm.

Sir, this is the place.

They're gone.

They were locked up here.

She had severe bleeding

and a high fever.

This isn't something that

a patrol division can handle.

Let me ask someone from RIU,

the Regional Investigation Unit.

Will they start

the investigation today?

No, not that fast.

Pardon?

Then when can they start?

They have their own schedules.

Internal investigation alone

will take 2 weeks.

2 weeks.

But you said the most crucial factor

in kidnapping cases is time.

That's correct, but there are

other lives to save also.

Every life is important.

Is there any unit

that can start sooner?

There's something called

intelligence-based investigation.

Special Investigation Unit and RIU

usually handle them.

But SIU is busier than RIU right now.

Then can we look

for them ourselves?

That's right.

They couldn't have taken

all the girls too far away.

I understand how you feel

but there's nothing we can do.

Go back to school.

Prof. YANG!

They were younger than us.

They were kidnapped and locked up.

You kids.

You're not police officers.

You're still students.

Even if we're students,

we witnessed the crime

and have evidence.

Why can't we do anything?

Don't get smart with me.

Let the adults take it from here.

Got it?

- You punks.

- Prof. YANG.

I know the license plate number

of the kidnapper's van.

It's an old green Starex.

37GU8338.

I know you can run a plate number

with one phone call.

Please, just this once.

Please, I beg you.

Hi, Do-chul.

I know. It's been 10 years.

I need a favor.

Will you run a plate number?

37GU

- 8338.

- Let's go.

Yes, now.

Is that right?

Thanks. Bye.

It's an unregistered vehicle.

They have to manually search

the CCTV tapes.

The case's detective has to file

an official request to the CCTV center.

RIU will be done with their case

in a month.

They'll be able to help then.

One

How can we wait a month?

Then should they throw out

everything and work on our case?

That's not what I meant.

I'm done talking.

So you two go back to school

and study hard.

If you get involved with this again,

you'll be expelled.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

You kids.

Always answer loud and clear!

- Yes, sir!

- Yes, sir!

Hee-yeol.

Yeah.

Are they gonna be okay?

The upside is that

we still have time to save them.

Hey, where's my jacket?

Geez, what's wrong with you two?

Something came up.

I'll buy you a jacket. Sorry.

Well

Forget it.

Did you go to the hospital?

We just got back.

Hey, your father still works

for the force, right?

You bet.

The chief loves my father.

Then he might have friends

at Gangnam CCTV center, right?

We know someone there too.

Who?

Who?

I'm too afraid to say it.

Just spit it out.

No, I can't.

Just tell us.

No.

- Why not? Say it.

- Come on, loser.
