The still shows Detective Ma Seok-do (played by Ma Dong-seok) in a casual windbreaker and jeans, dealing a blow to a criminal. 

The criminal in red pants appears to have fallen off after failing to block off Seok-do’s punches. 

Attention is focusing on whether Detective Maseokdo, who “truly educated” Jang Chen (played by Yoon Kye-sang) in the first movie and Kang Hae-sang (played by Son Seok-gu) in the second, will be able to easily overpower criminals in the third one.
