I'm Je Moon-jae!
Moon-jae!
Right here… I'm right over here.
Patrol unit one-two, report your situation, over.
You're surrounded! Open the door!
Open the door or we shoot!
Mouse
MOUSETRAP
- Is this the right place? - It's right. Shit.
There's no cabin anywhere here.
You miss the turn or what? Where the fuck are we, exactly?
The GPS seems to think it's around this spot.
What the fuck do you mean?
Nothing's here!
Hold on.
Uh… check this out.
NOJA GOT ARRESTED I DON'T SEE THE OTHER GUY
What the hell? This fucker's texting like a jealous girlfriend.
You hired this dumbass?
Well, that was a waste of money, wasn't it?
Idiots.
They only got Noja? And the other guy?
Looks like they split up, I guess?
Why? That doesn't make sense.
- Oh, shit. - Damn it.
He was shot, but the bullet's still inside. No sign of an exit wound.
Based on the bleeding, it doesn't seem like it hit an artery.
If it damaged his liver, though, there's no way I can save him.
But it doesn't seem like the liver was hit.
For a guy who got shot, he sure won the lottery, huh?
I'll fix him up since you're paying me.
But still, I don't want issues down the road.
That's why I pay you, to make sure this all goes right.
Huh. All right. Head to my clinic.
This bullet has got to come out first, then I can stop the bleeding.
Ah, fuck.
Yes, understood.
Yeah.
- Yeah. - Ah, shit…
Not even animals go up that mountain, now.
I guess you're a wanted man, huh?
Major Crimes is on their way.
All right.
Two, three! Lift!
Light.
- Okay. - Hold the light over here for me.
- I don't have anesthesia, so hold on! - Shit…
- If he bleeds, you wipe it up. - He's bleeding too much.
- What do I… Whoa, whoa! This is-- - Wipe it!
Ugh… Holy shit.
Oh, God…
Don't move!
- Just keep him held down! - Got it!
I got it right here, just hold on…
There it is.
What? Did he pass out on us?
- Huh? - Good evening.
Stop right there, gentlemen.
Why the fuck are you saving a guy who's gonna die anyway?
- Huh? - What in the hell?
Get back to it. Don't stop now.
Oh, man.
Who do we have here?
Hey! It's been a while.
How are you, Min-gi? How's the family doin'?
Shit…
- Who are you, anyway? - Ah, shit. Man, I can't believe this.
You all worked me to the bone and still none of you remember me?
Jesus. Okay, fine, whatever.
I'm fed up with this shit.
No more talk. Just hand him over to me, and fuck off.
I can't.
So what are you gonna do with the kid?
Did he send in the tip?
Because if he did, then he's dead already.
I'll kill him anyway, though.
This fucking guy. Who the hell is he?
And why is he pallin' around with Noja? He's making my life fuckin' miserable.
Jesus Christ.
You disrespect Noja like that, you must wanna fuckin' die.
You really think you know Noja better than me?
I'm gonna put him in the fucking ground.
Just like Dong-seok.
You shouldn't be moving around.
Jesus.
Ah, Noja. So we meet again.
It's been a while.
Ah!
Aren't you the guy whose ass I kicked?
You are!
Hey, uncuff me.
You want revenge? You can take a shot.
Goddamn it. Ow, man.
Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You're in a hospital.
Ugh, damn it.
Asshole.
Hey, where's the other guy you were with, Noja?
Where is he now?
- How should I know? - Come on. You kidding me?
Home, most likely. It's past the little guy's bedtime.
He's the one who sent the tip in, right?
That's something to ask The Rat,
assuming you can actually catch him, right?
He just published a book.
That's Je Moon-Jae?
Jesus.
Je Moon-jae is the writer, the real one.
The book that got released is by The Rat.
Je Moon-jae's double.
The man you're calling an impostor claims the opposite.
I guess his uncle can settle things. He can ID the real Moon-jae.
- What'd you say? - Lucky for us, I've been digging.
And his mother actually had a brother. He didn't know.
That man can tell us who's who, okay?
I'm a better investigator than you are, aren't I?
You're just a big shot on a power trip.
Go on, now.
Just find Je Moon-jae's uncle.
He's the one who can tell us who's real and who's not.
So tell me where this uncle's at.
Uncuff me and I'll go with you.
Come on.
Hey, you motherfucker!
Oh shit.
Ah! Fuck!
Fuck you, motherfucker!
Yah!
Motherfucker!
Shit.
Fucking asshole!
Ah, damn it.
Huh?
And you are?
I'm a cop. Nice jacket.
You said you were from Major Crimes earlier.
Which division, then?
This guy's mistaken, I didn't say that.
Doesn't matter. We're all done here. Head on in. Good luck.
He said Moon-jae's got an uncle.
Come on, let's find the guy.
Okay.
Yah!
What… Where'd he go?
Where'd that fucking asshole go?
Hey.
Has this shit been…
…really worth all this?
Huh?
If you gave me what I wanted, you'd be home by now.
You could have just walked away and avoided all this.
People should always be playing the long game.
Know whether there's something to lose, or something they can gain.
This is a business, it's all it is.
Jesus, Noja taught me all about that.
Whatever.
You just be glad it's all over now.
You don't have to worry about loyalty, or trust, any of that bullshit.
You don't have to worry about anything anymore.
Goddamn it.
Go home, Doc.
I'm done here.
PARK SUN-YONG
Uh…
Yeah?
Kim Han-su speaking.
Goddamn it, you got any idea what time it is right now?
All right, tell me where you are.
You want to explain why you're calling to get a goddamn background check now?
Tell me Min-ho's not with you.
You fucking asshole. Why'd you drag him out on his day off?
Jesus Christ.
He's got an uncle?
Hey. Uh… Hey, are you sure?
Ah.
Okay, okay, okay. Uh, you got his last name.
What do you want, exactly?
That's a violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.
We've got no authority to run his background.
'Cause this isn't our case, understood?
Sun-yong, just listen to me for a minute.
I'm telling you how it is, okay?
Is it impossible for you guys
to have a civil conversation on the phone without swearing?
With Sun-yong it is.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Doesn't that guy sleep? Seriously, he's such a fucking bastard! God!
Bitch!
I know, right? Fucking asshole.
Have you ever seen someone turn into a villain because of jealousy?
It was really hard for me to get this far, you know?
What do you mean? I'm sorry.
- Can you explain-- - You just asked about volume two.
I thought I'd answer your question.
You'll understand what I mean when the second volume comes out, so until then…
…you need to stop…
…pulling any more childish tricks like this.
Just wait. Be patient until I finish up book two,
and just pretend that I'm the author you knew.
It's not that hard, is it?
'Cause to be honest, all that really matters to you
is the book comes out as scheduled.
Who cares if I'm Je Moon-jae or not?
So, do you agree or don't you?

There's nothing he'd be able to do. This is all black money anyway. Okay?
Stop worrying so much.
Go on.
Hurry up!
We're picking up a homeless guy today, so get ready.
Yeah, I got it.
Good.
- How you doin'? - What the hell?
I've finally found a way to take back what's mine.
Hurry up! This way!
- Can't you tell me who is inside? - Please step back.
Don't cross the line.
There are three bodies, three. We got Forensics yet?
- The team's on their way. - Don't let anyone through here.
There's an operating table. You find the patient?
- Keep away! - I didn't.
Look out, coming through!
Please clear the way.
Here you go.
Something's on fire.
Looks like an awfully exciting morning for such a small town.
Hmm.
Hmm?
It's the background check on the uncle.
This is the address. It's in Gangwon-si.

YUNAM GENERAL HOSPITAL
Hey, let me bum a cigarette.
No, don't have one.
Well, that's a healthy choice.
Hey, it's Sergeant Park Sun-yong.
Hello. Are you calling to hassle me again?
Oh. You hold grudges, huh?
I'm calling you about something else this time.
Ah, so now what can I do for you?
There's a man we have reason to believe is your uncle.
Wait, my uncle? You're mistaken.
- No. - You have one.
We confirmed it.
Your impersonator might try to harm him, but we're not gonna let that happen.
We'll protect your uncle, don't worry.
He lives out in Gangwon-si.
Oh, I see.
So, just wanted to update you on where things are at.
I'll call you right away if we make any progress.
Why'd you bother letting him know?
Neither of them thought that he had an uncle.
The real one's going to go out there to meet the family he never knew.
And then the other one's gonna rush there to kill him before he talks.
So the one that starts completely losing his shit is the one
that's lying to us.
And once we catch up to him, we can make the guy talk.
Ugh, where is he? Where the hell is he?
ADOPTION CERTIFICATE (DETAILED)
Where's his goddamn uncle at? What the hell?
Huh? I never left, so where is he?
Ah, shit.
Mouse
Let me ask you something.
So… what have you got as far as charges?
Keep your mouth shut, sit still, all right?
Everybody knows about your past "work."
Okay. Well, let's say that you do know.
What am I getting arrested for now?
Kwak Sang-cheol came clean. He told us you're a fucking psychopath.
Kwak Sang-cheol? Who's that?
He's the hold 'em bar manager.
Oh, you go way back. The good old days.
What?
Three men are dead. One's been injured really badly.
The Major Crimes Unit's in chaos, they said.
Wasn't that the guy Sun-yong was after?
- So where's he at? - He just took off.
Jesus Christ, he's killing cops now.
We would've been fucked if we took that case.
Yeah, no shit.
Yeah.
Hey, our guys are out there.
- Put an APB out right now. - Hang on, where's Sun-yong?
Oh, fuck, Min-ho hasn't come in, either.
Come on. Why would they…
- Hey, wait. - Stop. Just hang on.
- Where are you going? - To get our guys.
- You can't. - This is Major Crimes' case now.
Our guys there makes it our case, moron!
Come on, let's go.
Hold up, Mr. Kim!
Ah, shit.
What a waste, huh? That was my favorite color.
Back in the day, everything I touched would turn into gold.
Maybe I should go back to church.
These days, it seems like all my plans explode into shit instead.
It's been a while. How have you been?
Who is this?
Aah!
Shit! Goddamn it!
Who's there?
Hey! Hey, you!
Hey! Hey!
Stop! Stop!
Hey, you!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!
17, HAEBYEON-RO 3-GIL, GANGWON-SI
Hey! We know each other?
- Who are you? - This is a long ways out.
Why did you wanna meet all the way out here?
You motherfucker. I should kill you right here!
Looking for someone?
Yeah, fucking Noja.
All the watermelons should be really sweet this year.
- Ah! - Yeah?
- Yeah! - Oh, fuck.
Go ahead, eat, you pig.
- Dig in. - Okay.
- This meat's amazing, too. - It's great.
Mmm.
Aah! God…
- Pretty good. - Mmm.
- Sit down. - Have a drink.
- Cheers. - Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man…
Can I please borrow your cell phone?
- Let you borrow it? I don't know you. - Who are you?
The Grim fucking Reaper.
Give me your phone.
This guy! He's a really weird guy, huh?
But…
Our phones are all gonna cost you quite a bit, I gotta say.
Okay?
Hey.
Uh…
- Take it. - Uh…
Hey, come on.
- I told you, I'm not him. - What the fuck is this?
You must be twins then, is that it?
Man, you're so confused.
Explain it to me, then, before I get angry.
Hey. Hey!
You think I'm messing around here, man?
You really wanna test me?
Hmm. That's okay with me.
Who the hell are you?
You must wanna die.
That's okay with me.
Ah, there, you got it?
Remember now? Surprised?
No, you died.
But then I rose.
From hell.
Now he's eating our meat, too? Come on!
Hello?
That was somebody else.
Did he get caught?
If they caught him, they'd let him answer the phone,
so they could track where I was.
PURSUING TWO SUSPECTS, INVESTIGATING LINKS TO INCIDENTS
THREE DEAD IN HAESONG CLINIC FIRE, POLICE INVESTIGATE
That fucking kid's in trouble. Jesus Christ.
- I'm so sick of this. - Sorry!
I won't do it again! Don't leave me!
We better take off, huh?
Just let me sit here a second.
Sure.
If this kinda life could be left behind,
what would you do?
There's this guy in my hometown, runs a raw fish restaurant.
I'd have him teach me how to cut fish,
then I'd open a restaurant of my own.
- Your own restaurant? - Yeah.
Sounds nice, I like that.
Then I'll go every day.
I mean it, you'll always have the best table.
I shouldn't have called him.
He'd actually gotten out.
Karma's an ugly son of a bitch.
And there's no escaping it.
So it's you, huh?
You're that guy?
Myeong-su and you had made this plan together,
and got us to think you'd… killed yourself, that it?
Ah… You seem pretty fuckin' chipper, asshole.
You became somebody else and got your… whole face redone.
All this for identity fraud?
Huh.
You sent that lead to the authorities?
You crazy motherfucker.
You're honest, I like that.
Well, it was Myeong-su's idea to go after Noja and drag everyone else in.
Myeong-su said that? What did he want?
Well, money, of course.
Dough?
Ah, goddamn it. That cash was lost.
Yeah, that money, it's all…
safe with me now.
Myeong-su said he was just the front man, so he'd get a short sentence.
He said to keep it and that we'd split it 50-50, once he gets out.
Huh.
What do you think? Wanna go into business?
- What? - Well, I've got all the funds.
And if I'm caught, then you'll be caught too for sure.
- Really? Why? - If they catch me, I'll sell you guys out.
That girl they found in the Han River?
She was my girlfriend.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Your identity is the one I bought, not hers.
Ah, here's another piece of the puzzle. Ugh.
You see, I recently sold my girlfriend's identity to your crew.
I put all the documents together and sent them over to you. Remember?
So Min-yeong.
RESIDENT ID CARD SO MIN-YEONG
Hey, is this the one from the morgue?
Yes.
Han River? She was your girlfriend?
Jesus Christ, the police.
They got a lead about a murder and now they…
- Yeah! - Did you kill her?
Doesn't matter.
For now, the thing you need to consider
is the fact that she was found dead in the Han River.
Apparently, you arranged a buyer for her identity.
Which just goes to show that whether I killed her or you did doesn't matter.
What I'm telling you is that we're in the same boat here, okay?
You're…
an inspiration, with identity crimes.
To me, at least.
You've got an amazing talent.
And I brought you into this because of that talent, but…
I'll explain it… some other time, all right?
Do you want to go into business with me or not?
You're sick. What the hell's the matter with you?
You're a fucking monster.
You're not even human, look at you.
A fucked-up, sick animal.
Hey.
Listen, you shit.
I'll dig you a fuckin' grave right here and now, you got that?
And your money?
That money won't protect you, asshole. I don't need it.
So how's this?
I'll put you in the ground once and for all.
That's okay with me.
But consider this.
It's not like the investigation's gonna stop just because I'm gone.
You know that cop on your tail? I arranged for that.
And now the Major Crime Unit's gotten involved,
so killing me is hardly gonna resolve anything.
I certainly never meant to see you in person today.
Things got… more difficult. What could I do?
You need to work with me, okay? Hmm?
Please try to stick to my instructions for now.
Don't forget, you should hurry.
Or we'll both need to start new character files.
You…
you had your face totally redone.
What are you really up to here?
Hmm…
This guy… Hmm?
The one I look just like
took my life from me, understand?
He took my life.
If he wins, you're gonna be fucked.
Whether you like it or not, we're partners now.
Anyway, does it really matter who I am?
Your money's all that counts.
You'd better hurry and dispose of that uncle!
Please and thanks!
Hang on, so this is his uncle's house, right?
Aah!
Hey, what'd I do wrong?
If you're working with someone who always acts stupid,
then you have to act smart!
Hey, lay off, Mr. Kim. Give the kid a break, okay?
Ow!
- Ugh, shithead! - Ow!
Jesus Christ. Will you guys try to behave like grown-ups for once?
- All right, asshole, don't start! - Aah! Ugh, seriously?
Jesus, you're worse than they are.
There's a lot of dust along the window sills.
- I'd say he's been gone… - What?
Let me go stop by next door and ask.
Hey, listen to me.
Do me a favor, guys, okay?
Try to act like cops.
Behave yourselves.
- Of 128,636 cops in Korea? - Asshole.
He acts the least like a cop.
Oh, Mr. Han? No, he's not here.
He went to a nursing home a few months ago.
Oh, he did, huh?
He did a lot of oyster diving when he was younger.
That type of thing is hard on the body.
Meoguri? You mean free diving?
Did he get hurt?
Not at all, he didn't get hurt.
He's just getting too old for that, and it's a shame.
Just recently, another fellow was here asking where he'd gone.
- Who's that? - His nephew, he said.
- Huh? - I didn't know he had a family at all.
It's strange. He lived alone the whole time.
Where'd you say he is?
I'm afraid it's Alzheimer's.
He can't remember very much at all, now.
We didn't know he had family. You could be his legal guardian.
Me? His guardian?
I can't even handle my own needs.
Why didn't you check in at all?
Tell me why.
Hmm? Must have a reason, right?
You were at their funeral, then, weren't you?
Uh, sir…
I mean, if I had just had someone, even just one person,
we wouldn't be stuck like this, okay, so what the hell?
Damn it.
Are you okay, sir?
I'm Je Moon-jae.
- I'm Je Moon-jae! - Huh?
- I'm Je Moon-jae! - Hey…
No. No!
DEOKAM NURSING HOME
Who am I, really?
You son of a bitch.
Aah!
You got no more bullets, asshole, do ya?
So what the fuck you gonna do now, huh?
It's the cop's gun. One blank, three bullets, one empty chamber.
You know how long I've been waiting in this town?
So maybe next time, move your fat ass.
All right.
You killed Min-Gi, didn't you?
This is…
where you're gonna die.
You ready?
'Cause your ass is gonna suffer.
You shouldn't have fucked with me.
All right, stand up, goddamn it.
Ah, shit.
Ah, goddamn it.
I guess…
this is karma.
Check the CCTV footage. It's gotta be there.
- All right. - Good.
Hello, is Han Hui-su here?
Han Hui-su's here, right? Isn't he?
Sorry, what is all this about?
Police matter, miss.
Is Han Hui-su living here now?
After I told him he had Alzheimer's,
he started swearing and stormed out.
How long ago was that?
About an hour ago?
Hey.
Sounds like he left right after learning about his condition.
Doesn't even know who he is.
He can't prove very much, huh?
I know, but without him, no one else can identify the real Je Moon-jae.
- Let's go. - Ah, shit.
Moon-jae.
There you are.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
- Moon-jae. - Moon-jae!
Moon-jae, where are you?
Moon-jae!
Moon-jae, where are you?
Moon-jae?
Why are you out here?
I looked everywhere for you.
I've looked… everywhere for you, Moon-jae.
