Medusa.

You were playing phone games

during working hours?

How dare you?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I bet you're sorry.

We're sorry, ma'am.

Hello?

Hello? Good afternoon, ma'am.

This is cadet Gi-jun Park,

Class of 2017.

Hi.

Long time no see.

How have you been, ma'am?

I'm good.

What do you want?

My friend was the victim in

a hit-and-run in Gangnam.

Police said the driver's car

was unregistered.

We'll have to manually search

all the CCTV tapes to find that.

It'll take days.

Yes, I heard about that.

It's really important.

Just this once, please.

All right.

License plate number,

make and model.

Time and place of the crime,

last place seen.

Text me all those.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll find it no matter what.

You catch the driver.

Yes, ma'am.

So there'll be no other victims.

Got it?

Thank you, ma'am.

- She said okay?

- This is great.

Now, we should prepare.

So now.

We get weapons.

Two police batons.

Two handcuffs.

Two Taser guns.

Two protective gear.

Is this correct?

Is this everything

Prof. YANG asked for?

I think so.

Yup.

Return them by next Wednesday

in original condition.

Wednesday.

- Yes.

- Okay, Wednesday.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll shoot.

Be careful.

- I did it.

- You did?

Wow!

We can definitely catch him with this.

Heck ya.

We gotta get them out.

Nasty.

We can't use this.

F***.

Forget the eggs. Get her organs.

Please don't kill me.

Where are you taking her?

Please save her.

Please I beg you.

Please.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Oh my goodness.

- A**hole.

- One more.

Just one more.

Last one.

Nope, cancel that. 98.

One, two, three, four

five, six, seven.

Eight, nine, ten.

They're dead meat.

Intelligence-based investigation starts

without receiving a crime report.

Police are first to recognize the crime

and start investigating.

Let's grill them all.

Medusa

It's Medusa.

I almost sh*t myself.

Hello, ma'am.

What took you so long to answer?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

The van you're looking for.

It's 37GU8338, correct?

Yes, ma'am.

On Nov. 13th and 27th at 5 pm,

I have it turning left on Kyodae junction

toward Seoul Arts Center.

I also found something interesting.

On both times,

there's another Starex behind it.

With H Fertility Clinic logo on it.

It might be connected

so do your research.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.

H Fertility Clinic

Closed 2nd and 4th Sundays

I think this is where

they retrieve eggs.

2nd Sunday is

Two days from now.

You think we can do this?

You cracking up?

You scared, wuss?

Shut up, idiot.

The girls.

Let's go save them.

Stay alive until then.

Ms. Yun-Jung is a college student,

majoring in English.

To support herself financially,

she has donated her eggs.

I've met her myself.

She's healthy and outgoing.

She's tall too.

She's beautiful.

Yes, she is.

The cost of IVF with Ms. LEE's eggs

will be about $80,000.

Anything for our baby.

I promise you the most beautiful

baby in the world.

Have faith in me.

This, this, this, this.

This, this, this.

Get them in the van.

Young police officers, be ambitious.

There they come, 8338.

Hurry and get off the van.

F***ing b*tches.

That's $20,000.

I put in a bit more.

Thank you.

To the operating room, please.

When are you gonna play next?

I don't know. If you got money

What's that noise?

Those f***ers are back.

That's a lot of thugs.

Let's go.

Gi-jun, you okay?

Geez. You scared me.

You okay?

What happened to your hand?

I'm sorry.

B*tch.

I think it's fractured.

Dumbass.

What about your Taser guns?

They're smashed.

What?

We're screwed.

What do we do?

Before they wake up,

let's go up.

Get up.

Doors opening.

What the

Excuse me.

Which floor is the operating room?

The 8th floor.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

My nose freaking hurts.

Sh*t.

Gi-jun!

Lots of eggs.

I don't know about this.

Let's cuff him.

Okay. You go first.

No, you go first.

No, you hit him with the baton first.

F***ers.

You're gonna die today,

f***ing b*tches.

What the heck?

Let's gang up on him.

All right!

Hi-yah!

Cuff his legs first.

We're okay now.

- Where's the operating room?

- The operating room?

I think it's that way. Let's go.

We almost made a big mistake.

We gotta return these.

Come on.

Enjoy your right to remain silent.

- Stop right there!

- Stop right there!

Who the hell are you?

Don't you know what stop means?

Good job.

Is she okay?

She was put under

general anesthesia.

Where are the other girls?

Hee-yeol?

Yeah.

Let's call Prof. YANG.

Prof. Yang

Then we'll get expelled.

We have no choice.

Let's call him.

Okay, let's do it.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

You two have no regrets

even if you get expelled, correct?

I believe I've done the right thing, sir.

Same here, sir.

But Prof. YANG.

I still want to go to class, sir.

Why?

I thought we learned

useless stuff in school.

But it wasn't true.

I want to learn more.

How about you, Gi-jun?

I'd like to stay also, sir.

I:

Want

to be a police officer.

If we don't take disciplinary action,

it would set a bad precedent.

But in the end,

our students did the right thing.

They saved over 20 kidnap victims.

They should be rewarded

not punished.

Are you out of your mind?

How could you reward someone

who committed violence?

Strictly speaking,

they've committed a crime.

Are you crazy

calling our students criminals?

Then everyone should go catch

criminals instead of studying.

I think you're out of line.

They're not just regular students.

They're the future police officers.

- They're not officers yet.

- Expel them.

Prof. YANG, what do you think?

Someone talked about

setting a bad precedent.

If Gi-jun PARK and Hee-yeol KANG

neglected the kidnap victims

and stayed in school,

I think that would be

a worse precedent.

We taught them to be the first ones

to respond to civilians in danger.

But if they've neglected victims

so they wouldn't be punished,

I think that's more dishonorable,

and they should be expelled.

Personally, I was envious of the two.

We once had that kind of passion.

We weren't afraid of punishment

when it came to catching bad guys.

I think we've taught them well.

They're not like those selfish kids.

For others, they'd run all night.

It makes me happy that

we've taught them well.

So what do you want to

do with them?

You punks should study

with such enthusiasm.

Gi-jun PARK. Hee-yeol KANG.

You two should've been expelled.

But President showed mercy, and

you're to be held back a year.

Don't like it?

I like it, sir.

Thank you, sir.

And you have 500 detention hours.

Since you'll be in school one more year,

you should have enough time.

Don't like it?

- It's great, sir.

- It's great, sir.

You kids don't sound sincere.

- It's really great, sir.

- It's really great, sir.

Attention.

- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you, sir.

How many hours of detention

do we have left?

473 hours

and 20 minutes.
