Shush!

Shut up for 8 seconds.

You know what Pace means?

Peace! Huh?

God, give us peace!

Dead with a smashed head?

That's no peaceful way to die.

Are you in peace?

Wow, On this great day huh?

Think I'm in peace on my way

to see a smashed head?

By the same token,

whoever smashed his head

wouldn't be in peace either.

F***!

- HAN Studio...

- Captain.

Found any clues?

- Good morning Captain.

- Hey.

- Captain

- Huh?

- Its this way

- Okay

It's only been a few hours.

The body is still stiff.

A murder weapon?

Something hard like a brick.

- Did you look for it?

- It's gone.

- You sure?

- Sir?

- When I got...

- Take a note.

Okay.

"A murder weapon rarely

leaves the crime scene. "

I will find some uniforms

to search the area.

Tell them to pay extra attention

to trashcans and manholes.

AHN, who found the body?

His wife.

Should I sit there?

Did you kill your husband?

Taking the fifth won't

do you any good.

When I got back,

I found him on the floor.

- Where did you go?

- The market.

What did you buy?

Didn't you go to the market...

to buy things?

- Some bean sprouts.

- For how much?

- 2 dollars.

- You have a lover, don't you?

Were you cheating on him?

Never.

You have a criminal record.

March 1999, at the mall...

I tried on a pair of shoes

and I forgot to pay.

I was gonna pay.

But they didn't trust me.

A cup of coffee?

Sh*t.

That's enough.

Come sit.

I'm out of aftershave.

- Already?

- Yeah

You use it for body oil, or what?

Damn, the deposit rate has

dropped again.

- Here.

- Thanks

The doctor's appointment is

at 2 today, right?

- It's tomorrow.

- Huh?

Wait. Come here.

Hold still.

Let me listen to my son.

Purte

He was our patron.

A fine gentlemen.

Any domestic problems?

Did they have issues?

They seemed fine.

He was loaded...

and wasn't a womanizer.

They didn't have a child.

Then again...

A little bird told me

he wasn't shooting blanks.

What do you mean?

She got so many abortions

behind his back.

That's what I heard.

Yeon-shim?

She's so clumsy!

Get these gentlemen

some snacks.

She bought bean sprouts

around 4 yesterday.

- Do you remember?

- Think hard.

- I can't

- She bought them from you.

- Can't you remember?

- I don't remember anything.

- Leave me alone.

- AHN!

- AHN, that's enough.

- Go away!

Recoil.

Recoil spring.

Magazine, End, slide... Check!

sh*t!

What's the point?

We hardly use it.

CHO,

you know what lured me

into the police academy?

This! Huh?

Sig Sauer P-226.

This was what.

They sell these at the marts

in America though.

- Checked the insurance?

- Yes.

He bought a policy recently.

- Life policy?

- Yes, for half a million.

- The beneficiary is his wife?

- Bingo!

This is almost too easy.

It's so obvious.

Take a note.

'They never smash heads

like that just for money. '

These days...

they cut fingers off

for a few hundred bucks.

- Aren't you writing it down?

- Sure

What about the wife?

She helped her husband

with the studio.

She must be seeing someone.

Check into it.

Put one of our men on her.

AHN is out there.

Get your ass out too!

Listen to the baby's heartbeat.

Head, trunk, Feet...

This is the spine.

The baby is moving a lot.

Fantastic!

Looks like an alien.

- Nurse?

- Yes?

Thank you very much

Congratulations, Su-hyun.

Here's the prescription.

- Just a second.

- Sure.

- Did you see the baby on sonogram?

- Yes

When?

Come on, tell me quickly.

What?

Okay.

- Keep an eye on him.

- Okay.

This is the list of food to avoid

during the pregnancy.

You don't drink, do you?

Another abortion isn't good.

Take care of yourself.

Excuse me!

Who is it?

Turn off the water, will you?

It's leaking downstairs.

Did you turn it off?

F***!

KIM Hyuk-ju!

Sh*t.

How much did you get?

From whom?

The lady from the studio!

She'll pay you the rest later?

You bought that?

What the f***!

I didn't get anything!

We have pictures, punk.

Bullshit!

You're writing a novel.

Playing tough?

- Look here.

- Don't hit me!

You're messing with the wrong guy.

Whatever!

You lay your hand on me again,

and I'm so suing you.

Listen.

Didn't I tell you to make it quick...

so we could eat?

Four prior convictions.

A month out of the joint...

and you don't get it?

Your prints were found

at the crime scene.

We have pictures of you

taking money from her.

Tell us how much she promised you...

for killing her husband!

Motherf***er!

- Captain.

- What?

Any orders for me?

What orders?

This is no restaurant!

Let's give it a change.

Make it two-five time.

Okay?

These are all the unpicked-up ones

in the period of one month.

You can tell a lot

from them.

This one.

This family took a trip

for the first time in a while.

I think it's the youngest

taking pictures.

Maybe this one.

Her big brother must be on leave...

from the army.
