infected everyone here

That's it.

My father was Class of 1985

of Police University.

From early on,

my father taught me well

about public order and justice.

You'll eventually learn them here.

Order and justice are important.

I want to become

a police officer just like my father.

Put some of the rice back.

How can I?

You come and sit down now.

They're feeding us like

kindergarteners.

Aren't you gonna

eat your sausages?

No.

Why not?

Sausage is made with sodium glutamate

and sodium nitrate, which are carcinogens.

So why won't you eat them?

carcinogens on purpose?

As a commissioned officer out in the field,

you could face real danger.

In preparation,

here at the Martial Arts Center,

you'll choose one from Taekwondo,

Judo, Aikido, and Kendo

and train for 4 years.

candidates who can run up and

back down the mountain in one hour

will be accepted into the university.

But those who fail will be denied

entrance for lack of physical competence.

Those who fail to reach the top

will also be denied entrance.

Run with all your might.

Get set.

Watch your step.

Hey, help me.

Help me. I can't walk.

Sorry but gotta go.

Please help me.
