Episode 9
I'm not sure whether you'd believe me but...
considering our past friendship, I wasn't going to kill you.
It's all because of you that someone as naive as me turned out this way.
Shi Hyun.
I'll ask you one last time.
Don't resist. It'll be more painful.
Safari.
It's the police.
Now you're using police?
I'll end it here today, but next time you'll be dead.
Soo.
Kim Hyun Soo! Soo!
You bastard, why did you come? It's damn embarrassing.
Let's go.
Team Leader.
Why do you always let Ji Hyung Min live?
If you had gone little faster, he wouldn't have gotten out of the way.
Don't you know that Ji Hyung Min is after you?
Do you feel guilty?
Do you guilty because the female cop you killed was Ji Hyung Min's woman?
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
I'm really sorry. Ah, seriously. Damn.
If I had a few more guys, I could have caught Safari.
Ah, man, really. If I had a few more guys...
So they think I'm a push over now that Halibut is gone.
Do you want me to help you?
You keep on playing monopoly, bastard.
Now, even this asshole thinks I'm nobody.
Hey!
I pitied you and didn't make you a cripple.
Now, do you really want to get your limbs cut off?
Fine. Let me see how I can become a cripple!
You bastard!
I told you not to help me.
Do you want to play monopoly with me?
- Really? - What?
- Really? - Yeah, really.
You seem to know how to fight.
Hey, Kim Hyun Soo. Kim Hyung Soo!
Why are you looking at me so seriously? You're scaring me.
- Would you like a drink? - That'd be good.
Yeah, there's nothing like a drink after you've been creamed.
- Doc. - Yeah.
Do you remember when we first met at the 'school'...
We ruled everything there.
But then, why is this world so much more difficult?
This is Hyun Soo's favorite: spare rib.
This your favorite. Here, some meat.
- You eat Mom. I'm all set now. - Eat this, too.
Really, my Hyun Soo is so skinny. Eat as much as you want.
Ah, man, really. You think I'm still a kid?
You're embarrassing me in front of my friend.
Ah, that's right. You go ahead and eat as much as you want.
You want some porridge? Have some porridge, too.
I'm full now.
You know my Hyun Soo isn't that kind of person.
So please help Hyun Soo follow his path.
I'm sorry.
You got the money from my mom. Didn't you?
Yeah.
And she asked you not to see me anymore.
Then why did you keep on hanging out with me?
I thought she might give me some more.
Crazy bastard.
She cried a lot, saying that her son wouldn't do such things.
She said I must have been framed just as you had been.
And then she gave me money.
She told me to start studying again. She told me to take a GED exam.
I...
I bought drugs with that money.
I'm sorry.
- Detective Shin. - Yes.
Did you put Meth Kim on the wanted list?
- I'll confirm it. - What about the investigation report?
Ah, man!
- So there no hope for Team Leader Ji? - Why? You miss him?
Miss him? No way. Since you're so perfect, I just thought of him.
That sounds little weird.
Seriously, you're just now checking the wanted list.
Hey, that's because I have all these reports to review.
Ah, man! Pick them up!
How did you know about the incident?
Where did you get your information again this time?
I told you. It was from an informant.
I'm going to meet with the Commissioner.
I want him to reinstate you as soon as possible.
- Thank you. - I couldn't lose you.
Safari tried to kill you.
- You should pay him back. - I should.
What about the wholesalers?
Just give me all of their information. Then I'll get them all.
Are you... really going to do a deal with them?
You shouldn't bother with them, but you should think about going into Pusan's organization.
So you can get to Safari and Pusan.
The one who killed Gyung Mi...
You have to find who did that to her.
If you get arrested by other cops, I can't help you officially.
No matter what, you have to escape on your own.
I understand.
Put the handcuffs on me.
Go ahead.
Always carry a bobby pin.
First, straighten out the pin.
And... when you get a chance, turn it one direction.
After that, turn it in the opposite direction.
Here.
Give me your hands.
Try it now.
Slowly. Focus and try it calmly.
Here. Let's try it again.
Insert it here, turn it and then push it down.
Let's try it from the beginning again.
Put it in here and then...
Push it now.
Did you see it? I did well, didn't I?
Good job.
Did you notice any changes in Lee Jin Sook?
No, why? Did something happen?
I think I saw Doctor's Son yesterday.
- Yesterday? - Yeah.
I'm not certain.
You know what Doctor's Son looks like?
I didn't really get to see him. I just saw his profile.
What does he look like?
You really can't draw. Can you?
What I told you before still stands. If you want to leave, you should.
I'll help you.
I'd be so embarrassed if I left with things as it is now.
Since I began this whole thing, I want to see the end of it.
This is it?
This is a real tear-jerker for heaven's sake.
This is so embarrassing.
Want me to try to hook up with the Chinese?
I'm still looking into finding more wholesalers.
Wait a little longer.
- Yes. - Oh, Mr. Safari!
If you can't turn those into money again this time
You do know what's going to happen.
Yes.
You know, I'm different than my father.
Get rid of Doctor's Son fast and establish a new distribution network.
Why is that so hard?
You do know what the current situation is like.
By the way...
I wonder why you haven't answered me.
Yes, I understand.
Okay. That's right.
So I do hope you don't make me come all the way up to Seoul.
Do you remember the promise you made to my father?
15 days.
Indeed, time is money. Now you have exactly five days.
Mr. Safari. Fighting!
What are you going to do?
We have to do the deal.
Do you think Lee Jin Sook would want to do a deal with us
after all that mess with Doc?
There won't be any deals for a while.
What are you talking about?
Connect me directly to Pusan. Then I'll reconsider.
What? Do you know what kind of place Pusan is?
Don't they need to circulate their goods soon?
We have all the distribution lines.
So why should I go into this deal as if though I'm begging.
Not doing it as it is.
Fine. I guess I asked for too much.
You don't have to tell me about Soo.
Let's just do a deal without any conditions.
As you said, Pusan will be smiling when the goods are distributed.
But if you put on an attitude like this, it's going to be a real headache.
Whatever the case, shouldn't you try to save Doctor?
You better decide soon, huh? I told you. There is no time!
What are you going to do?
Are going to do a deal with her for real?
Doc, that kid didn't tell anything to Jin Sook.
The fact that Doc didn't say anything about what happened means
he's going to watch this deal from the beginning to the end.
Then, that's bad news.
Doc is using Jin Sook to get me just as I had used her to get him.
Then I should go along with it.
Doc will come out for this deal and we'll get Doc then.
Mister!
Wait for me in the car.
Wow. You look kind of cool now.
Did you just come out of there?
- Who brought you here? - I came here to drink.
Why, you should have told me. Actually, I...
I mean, my friend is here. I'm not that close to her but...
- What should I say? - I understand.
I understand?
What is that supposed to mean?
What are you thinking so seriously about?
Nothing. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
What happened with the wholesalers?
At this rate, we may really get pushed to the sidelines. You know?
I'm going to find the goods.
- From where? - From Pusan.
Pusan?
You're back. You must not have been able to solve the homework problem.
I'm not here today because of Doctor's Son.
Your statement, your ledger... They all tell us everything starts with you.
That doesn't make sense unless you had been directly involved in the production.
It'd only make sense if there was a bigger organization feeding you from behind.
The point is... I think you just got the goods elsewhere and simply distributed them.
But the interesting part is the reason why you turned yourself in.
To expose Doctor's Son through you, so the police would go after him.
Why? Because Doctor's Son who has grown too big...
instigated a coup without the organization's approval.
To get Doctor's son, they had you turn yourself in.
That's my conclusion.
You really do know how to come up with a story, huh?
You could be a fiction writer.
Where is it? Where is the drug coming from?
You think we do this out of loyalty. Don't you?
You think it's just cheap loyalty among gangsters.
And you think you could make us listen if you use
the carrot and the stick approach well enough.
You're wrong.
In our world, the word loyalty has never existed.
We are all enemies and we're doing this knowing that we could die.
We'll all trying to survive.
We are obedient to the one who has the power to kill us.
To who?
The one who could kill me.
Can you kill me?
Sometimes it was shipped from China. Sometimes it flew in from Thailand.
There are so many that I can't remember them all, you know.
But there is one thing for sure.
If you dig any deeper, many of your friends will die.
Just as Commissioner Kang did.
You could be next.
How do you think I wrote that story?
Your attorney is selling all your stocks and real estate quickly.
Of course, the money won't be deposited into your account.
Where do you think all your money is going?
All in the name of investing abroad. But, ultimately, the money won't end up in your hands.
That means you've been disposed.
By the organization behind you. By the Pusan Organization.
I've heard of 'Pusan Fishcake.'
Wait just a little while longer.
I'm going to get them all.
Phone!
Hey, phone.
I still didn't get the money you promised me last time.
This is Scale. That isn't much money at all, huh?
There is a phone call for you.
- Who? - It's sir Scale.
Sir, my ass!
Ah, this bastard is making some strange noises.
Hey, would Santa come through a chimney that wasn't lit?
Don't tire me out with this. Tell him to stay quiet and be patient.
- Patience is? - Sweet?
Don't get it right all the time!
He says that patience is sweet.
It is sweet.
[Poems by Suh Jung Hwan] [Hollylock You]
I brought you some fruit.
There is always more than enough fruit at a hostess bar.
Fruit? So that's all you could think of?
These fruits will be a different quality.
They all turn into shit when you eat them.
Who are you?
Take these inside and put them in the fridge.
Otherwise, I'm going to break your wrist.
Pil Joon.
You haven't changed at all. That childish display of your muscles.
Don't come here again if you aren't going to use our services.
Let's talk for a minute.
Did you come here to look cool?
I thought you had something to talk about.
- I'm leaving. - Are you still seeing Safari?
What if I do?
- What it I do? - I don't want you to see him.
Why not? Why don't you ask me to listen in?
Why don't you ask me to get information out of Safari like in the past?
That was our tactic to get you out of there.
Don't you realize that distancing yourself from
Safari is the only way to get out of this thing?
I'm the police: the good and the just.
Safari is evil.
It's a no brainer that you should be helping me.
Don't talk about it as if it's a shameful past.
Whatever. Justice? Evil?
Don't talk such nonsense. I'm just busy trying to survive.
Because I don't know anything about that.
So? So what can you do for me, huh?
I said what can you do for me?
What do you want me to do for you?
There is nothing you can do for me.
It's too late now.
Bastard.
I thought you were on probation.
- What's this about? - Why did you let Lee Jin Sook go?
What? Who?
I mean Lee Jin Sook.
Ah, Lee Jin Sook.
Why did you let her go?
Because she was innocent.
See, this is why the police are no good.
We blindly trusted the words of the police and indicted her.
We found out that she was completely innocent.
There was absolutely no evidence. We couldn't keep her.
What then did we decide to do?
Even though the police carried out a half-assed screw up investigation...
Even though it might be embarrassing, at least one honest prosecutor should
make sure no citizen is punished unjustly.
Don't you agree?
That's the way of the bright world you love so much.
Did you get a bribe?
- What? - Did you receive a bribe from Doctor's Son?
Ah, you bastard. Seriously!
You have a lipstick stain on your shirt.
Ah, that bastard. If he weren't the Commissioner’s son then...
Ji Hyung Min.
Since you asked and I was also curious, I tried to dig deeper but I got stuck.
The case on Scale's Donghae Construction is completely blocked.
Was it someone from above?
Let's not get to ahead of ourselves.
At any rate, as of now, I can't even get a warrant.
How about shifting our direction a bit?
If the media touches it first, it'd be a lot easier for us go in.
Since we are on the topic, I think Reporter Cha is very interested in you.
Huh?
Reporter Cha Hyo Joo.
Her father is Congressman Cha Myung Suk. He could shield you from many things.
How about collaborating with Reporter Cha?
Congressman Cha Myung Suk. A hypocrite.
- What? - Oh, nothing.
Oh, here.
Hi, Jung Yeon. Team Leader Ji was here, too.
Well, I have some more cases to take care of so...
What are you having?
You got extra shots, didn't you? So you like it like this.
How many? Double? Triple?
This is espresso.
You're drinking this much espresso?
This is a diuretic. It makes you go to the bathroom,
interferes with your sleep and is hard on your stomach.
You haven't slept well lately, have you?
I'm going to rescue you.
This will help you sleep. Let's go drink.
Why don't you go with your friends.
I do have information regarding Donghae Construction.
I had to bribe a colleague to get this information.
Soju? Beer? Soju and beer?
Cheers!
What's going on with you?
If you came out, you should have called me first.
I've been busy nowadays.
What? Is there something wrong?
What? No, nothing.
I guess you won't be able to attend the police academy now.
Yeah, probably not.
What are you going to do? You tried so hard to get in.
It's all because of that bastard from the convenience store.
What are you going to do now?
What about you? What are you doing here at this time?
I quit working the hostess bar.
Really? That's great.
I've been telling you to quit for so long.
You did the right thing.
[I'm at your place. Come back right now.]
- I'm really sorry, Soo Min. - Huh?
- I think I have to go now. - Why?
That's because... Anyway, I have to go.
You've got a man, don't you?
I'll call you. Next time we're really going to get drunk.
- Hey, Joo Young. - Sorry. I'm sorry.
Sit here and wait for me. I'll bring it over.
What is it? Do you know her?
No, I don't.
So what's the information?
Ah, seriously. You only think about work.
Are you a workaholic?
Then are you an alcoholic?
You don't let things go. Do you?
Well, a toast to the two 'holics' together.
Cheers!
I'll know more once I dig deeper but
Donghae Construction is going to be bought out by a foreign venture capitalist.
We don't know, yet, but it could be a foreigner with black hair.
That means the major shareholder in that foreign venture could be Korean.
Are you talking about a paper company?
Well, it could be real or just a paper company.
For now, this is it for today.
Yeah, Jung Yeon.
Did you part with Report Cha?
She's asleep now.
What's going on with you two. You've gone that far already?
She's drunk and she passed out. And I'm playing her chauffeur now.
Ah, she drank again, reporter Cha.
You should be patient with her. She drinks to survive.
She wouldn't be able to asleep for weeks if she didn't drink.
When she was young... It's nothing. What am I saying.
Please try to be patient with her. See you.
Can't you stay?
- Bye. - Good night.
I brought you something.
Who is that woman?
Gyung Mi. Did you forget her already?
Who is she?
She's a reporter. And there is nothing between us.
I don't know why I have to explain this to you.
Of course, you have to. You do have to explain things to me.
Because I'm Gyung Mi's sister.
It's not what you think it is so just stop it!
Report things now.
Aren't you going to report what happened?
I have nothing to report.
You know what it means when Chairman Jo mentions his name?
Do you want to save Doc?
If you want to save your Doc, then make him stop now.
The only way both you and Doc can survive is
for you to fold your organization and have some power.
Where to, Chairman? Chairman?
Just drive around.
Want to drink together?
Please come in.
- Where have you been? - I met up with a friend.
A friend? A friend who?
She's just a friend from my orphanage.
Okay.
- Is there a problem? - What problem?
I just wanted to have a drink with you. There is no problem.
Do I look good to you?
You are really cool.
Ah, by the way, why don't you see your lover nowadays?
Huh?
If you have a lover, you could see him when you feel down.
And that'd make you feel better. I just thought that it'd be like that.
- My lover is too busy. - What is he like?
- Do you want to meet him? - Really?
What does he do? Is he tall? He must be handsome.
Of course, he's tall, handsome and very cool.
Since he's the one I like, you can imagine.
I'm kind of envious.
What about you? Are you seeing anyone?
You must have one.
He doesn't even see me as a woman.
Why not?
It's a love that can never materialize.
- Shall we? - Yes.
Did you come to pity him?
- Do you think I'm capable of pity? - Then why did you come?
A father came to see his son. That's all.
I was told he's gotten much better.
You are the one who made him like that.
If you hadn't been so against him studying music...
If you hadn't kicked him out, he wouldn't have ended up like that.
Then what about you?
Look at yourself now.
It's a shame that you stopped your pursuit of becoming a prosecutor...
You are no doubt an amazing police officer.
You chose your own path and no one told you what to do.
I'll tell you one more thing.
When you deal with people, you shouldn't just look at the side you see.
Human beings aren't that simple.
You don't have the ability to care for other people, yet.
Go and focus on your work.
So is that why you put roadblocks in my way by almost forcing me on probation?
Forcing you...
I do remember sparing a son from almost getting fired.
You shot your colleague.
You should be thankful that it ended there.
Do you remember?
Mom would play the piano and you'd play the guitar.
That was a good time.
Chris de Burgh's song. What was it called?
Ange...
- What was that? - Ange...
Ah, that's right. 'Little Angel.'
Am I wrong? You do remember.
When you were performing in the College Street, I went to see you.
Gyung Mi... Where is she?
Gyung Mi.
Gyung Mi is doing well.
She's probably doing well.
Thanks for your hard work.
What brought you all the way here?
Sit down.
Have you found a way to control the special unit?
Yes, but I need your help.
Let me listen to your plan first.
So you think Prosecutor Ahn has a tie to Doctor's Son?
I'm quite certain.
Otherwise, there is no way he would have let Lee Jin Sook go so easily.
I thought the prosecutor's office might have ties with Scale.
It could be the opposite.
They may be trying to catch Doctor's Son by releasing her.
Just like the plan you devised after you arrested Lee Jin Sook.
Excuse me for a minute.
What is it?
Oh, nothing. Because the weather is so nice.
Did you call to give me a weather forecast?
If you have nothing to report, I'm going to hang up. I'm in the middle of a meeting.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry about that one time.
- Who was it? - Just a friend.
Is that right?
What's going on with the undercover you put under Lee Jin Sook?
Did she come out of the detention center?
- Yes. - Has she infiltrated?
I'm sorry. Due to the nature of the undercover mission, I can't disclose any details.
I'm sorry, Soo Min. Today won't work either.
Can we meet some other time?
Okay. That's fine. Yeah, I know.
You should call me next time.
[Pororo]
Save this number. My name is Yoon Soo Min.
Yoon. Soo. Min.
Why don't you say anything?
If you made the call, you should say something.
By the way, what's your name?
You should tell me so that I know what to save your number under.
Ah, you came.
Have a drink. Cheers.
I've finished it already.
- Why aren't you drinking? - I don't drink with a stranger.
Wow, you are really...
You called and brought me out here and now you act like you don't know me?
You are the one who called me out here.
Well... whatever. The end result is important.
Anyway, you did come.
If you came then... whatever.
What? What?
Because I've changed?
I guess I did change a lot.
You are exactly the same.
You haven't changed and you're exactly the same.
Liar.
Well, why won't you tell me your name?
You want to know?
Well, when people meet, the first thing you do is exchange...
My name is... a national secret.
Ah, that was weak. That's such an old joke.
Fine!
I'm going to do what I want then.
[Mister Gangster]
Aren't you a gangster? You always get hurt.
You were hurt here that time.
Ah, do you still get beaten up nowadays?
Do you want me to take care of them for you?
'You shouldn't come in from the side like that.'
Didn't you say I shouldn't come in from the side?
It's wide open now. It's open.
It's open. Totally open. Your side is completely open!
I thought you shouldn't leave your side open.
It's open still.
What sort of gift makes a woman happy?
Do you have a woman? Really?
This is the real deal. You just to go and exchange bags.
Only you and I know about this.
- Who is she? - She saved my life.
She saved my life at the detention center.
So you aren't going to come yourself?
Why? That doesn't matter. Does it?
If you purely wanted a business transaction.
Our deal has gone sour.
Doc is not coming.
Take the money and just get rid of her.
I wonder how you knew to come.
Our destinies must be intertwined together.
How did we end up like this?
We could have lived peacefully just getting along.
Fine. We should just end it.
