Dispatch and the foot chase

A group of young narcotics detectives led by Squad Chief Go is dispatched to apprehend a minor drug trafficker. They engage in a foot chase through busy streets, but the target escapes into traffic. The pursuit ends dramatically when the trafficker is struck by a bus, causing a massive car pileup.

Reprimand after the chaos

The team is reprimanded by their superintendent for reckless pursuit and failing to capture the target. The incident undermines Go's prospects for promotion and jeopardizes the squad's standing.

Dinner briefing with the crime squads

After leaving the station for dinner with the organized crime squad, Squad Chief Choi informs Go that the crime boss Moo-Bae is returning to South Korea and that his underling Hong is building a gang. The briefing sets up the potential collaboration.

Cooperation proposed

Choi proposes a joint operation: narcotics will take credit for capturing Hong while Choi's squad handles Moo-Bae, allowing both groups to salvage their careers. Go and his team consider the plan as an opportunity to avoid punishment.

Agreement to cooperate

Seeing the chance to save their jobs, Go and his colleagues agree to cooperate with the organized crime squad. They commit to sharing results and taking credit as needed to advance their careers.

Undercover stakeout begins

They begin undercover surveillance of an international drug gang, setting up a stakeout at a chicken restaurant as their base. The operation starts with cautious observations and coordinated moves.

Restaurants' closure threat

Things seem to work, but Go learns the chicken restaurant will soon go out of business, threatening the viability of their undercover plan. The team must adjust their approach to keep the operation running.

Decision to purchase the restaurant

To preserve their undercover base, they decide to purchase the chicken restaurant, ensuring a stable front for surveillance and undercover activity. This bold move signals their commitment to the operation.

Rib marinade devised

To boost the restaurant's appeal, they improvise a rib marinade for a sticky chicken recipe. The improvisation reflects their creativity under pressure and a need to keep the business afloat.

Marinade turns into a sensation

The rib marinade becomes an instant hit, drawing customers and bringing the restaurant into the spotlight. The success creates a surprising boost for the undercover operation.

Restaurant’s fame raises stakes

With the restaurant famous for its food, the undercover base attracts more attention from both customers and criminals. The team must manage the increased risk while pursuing Moo-Bae and Hong.
