Laboratory of This and That

842-9 Cheonggyecheon Road, Seoul Laboratory of This and That.

Is it $90,000?

I prepared cash as you said.

You said the accident happened three months ago.

Then it's last year October?

Not weird for a fire in October.

My granddaughter doesn't stay in the master room at that time.

She always sleeps in her room.

What time was the fire?

The fire department estimated as 3:50 a.m.

How old was your granddaughter?

She was Grade1.

So eight years old.

My dead granddaughter appeared in my dream and cried.

The dream was weird, so I went to a fortune teller.

Grandma.

Grandma.

It was an undeserved death.

There were bad guys.

I can't breathe grandma.

It's too hot.

Please take revenge for me grandma.

Please grandma.

One.

Two.

Three.

It's four guys.

There were four guys.

Please get them for me.

We don't get them.

We kill them.

All four of them?

It could be five or six.

Doesn't matter if it's more.

We kill everyone involved to prevent aftermath.

Do you know anyone that could hold a grudge on your son?

My son was an upright man.

Maybe your son or his wife cheated on each other?

That's impossible!

I'm just considering every possibilities.

Did he have any money issues?

My son never borrows money from others.

- He's the one that lent money. - To who?

Daughter-in-law called me last July.

She asked me if I knew Councilor Seol-min.

I said I don't know him.

She said that she overheard my son calling Seol-min.

They were fighting on money issues.

About debt acknowledgement forms?

My son ran a construction company.

He had to lobby politicians to win contracts.

Is it hard to kill a politician?

It doesn't matter.

Fulfilling the client's request is my job.

We're professionals.

I know an expert for this.

Three months for background investigation and four days to kill everyone.

You have to keep this to yourself.

If you fail to do so.

You will have to make your own grave

I know the rules!

I'm prepared for anything.

It was in my son's room.

Here, it's Starbucks.

It's yours.

I took my commission already

I took five percent less than I usually did

010...

Okay.

It's a burner phone Call me only with this phone

I'll call you first if something goes wrong.

So hide and make yourself safe.

Seol-min's office address and personal information are in the memos.

Tae-ju is a local gang member and was convicted of attempted murder.

He used to manage brothels at Yongsan.

But he went to Macau in 2011 after the place got redeveloped.

He made some big money there from running a casino junket business.

Councilor Seol-min was the one that introduced investors to Tae-ju's business.

Seol-min and Tae-ju were like brothers until then.

But their business didn't last long and Tae-ju returned to Korea.

Then how about the investors and their money?

Tae-ju didn't care about them.

Seol-min had to deal with all of them.

Investors that invested or lent money sued Seol-min.

Seol-min had no choice but to get rid of them.

Do you get it now?

I'm just a hound that gets the target.

Even dogs at railroads can make train sounds after three years.

Have you been off for too long?

You're bullshit improved.

What's your plan?

Find where they are.

Everyone involved have hidden already.

How will you find them?

I'm just saying.

Tae-ju and Seol-min fell apart.

Who would've Seol-min hired to kill the investors?

It wasn't me.

Let's go drink I have more to talk about

I've quit drinking.

Finish talking here.

You should sometimes enjoy yourself.

Nak-joong came to Seoul.

I found out while searching some address in Itaewon.

He never smuggled to China.

I tried to find him but failed.

Illegal Hold'em Pub Address Yongsan.

Reveal your cards.

This way sir.

You earned a lot today

- $2,000 - Yes sir

$2,000 of chips.

Here you go.

- Let's hurry up. - $1,000.

I'm down.

I got a full house.

He got all the money!

Give me some good cards.

I'm sorry everyone.

Look everyone!

I'm the fortune cookie!

I can't fucking concentrate.

This is how you make money with money!

Can you just leave?

What?

You, the money bag.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you know who I am?

Everyone here is playing with my money.

Okay, so don't ever come here again

I've got business to do so get lost.

Fucking bitch.

Bloody hell.

Are you done?

You wanna fight or what!

Do you know that your supervisor is my friend?

Did you sleep with her?

Damn it.

What a nicely dressed up man.

But she's not as easy as you think!

She doesn't fuck newcomers!

You have no chance!

You talk too much.

Fucking bitch.

Shall I blow up your vagina with a dynamite?

Why don't you tie it on your dick?

It might help your erection.

You think it's funny?

Shall I blow this place up with a truck of dynamites?

Excuse me.

Do you work in Korea Explosives?

What?

I'm just curious.

What the fuck?

You own an ice cream shop?

This is complimentary.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- One more soju please. - Okay.

I started five years ago and made quite a lot of money.

But I used them all on that bitch dealer Min-ji.

Watch out, she's a gold digger

I didn't expect that.

She's like a Femme fatale.

You don't seem like a guy to gamble.

Can I ask one thing?

How is Councilor Seol-min's reputation?

The City Councilor?

Yes, I want to sponsor him.

What?

How would someone like me know about a politician?

What do you want to know?

I need his help to get my business approved.

I'm not close with politicians.

Are you trying to start a business here?

Yeah, a Multilevel Marketing Works business.

A pyramid scheme?

It's a legal business.

I know it's an illegal financing business.

I'll explain later.

You're like an onion.

Do you smoke weed?

What?

I'm getting high.

There's this fucker named Jong-tae.

He sold me one car.

But it was actually a burner car.

My gangster friends tried to let him know that I'm looking for him.

But he never called or texted me.

But after about one month.

He came to me with the principal and interest.

When was that?

About three months ago.

But I never saw him after.

- What gang is he in? - There not even gangsters.

He's too broke to be one.

He's just a poor shit with debts from gambling.

But don't they still have a name?

They just call themselves this and that.

I want to meet him.

How come a businessman like you want to meet such guy?

Then why did you lend money to such guy?

I need all kinds of people to run a business.

Give me his number.

He doesn't receive calls from unknown number.

Which car do you prefer for burner cars?

Genesis.

Jong-tae drove a Genesis too.

He also gave all his money to the bitch dealer Min-ji.

Poor guy.

That bitch dealer is the black hole

I bet he'll go to her again.

Are they in a relationship?

She has many guys.

Guess life was tough for her.

She's not a normal girl.

She's knows many scary guys.

I majored in Physical Education!

I can handle few guys on my own.

Hey there.

You ever killed someone before?

If you want to kill someone, tell me

I'll do it for you.

You've watched Netflix too much.

Security cameras are everywhere.

They figure out a person's daily route for months.

They then kill the person and make it look like a fire accident or hit-and-run.

Can I meet them?

Not until they know who the target is.

They will first do a research on the target and estimate the price.

You have their number?

You really want to kill someone right?

Sounds like those guys are trustworthy.

Call me if you need them.

Prepare the money too.

Per person or per work?

$30,000 per work $10,000 as commission

$40,000 in total.

Then they can kill a whole family just for $40,000?

What?

I was just joking Don't take it seriously.

Parking lot.

What the hell?

Sorry sir, I'm looking for someone.

Sir!

What took you here?

I was looking for Dynamite.

He went for dinner with Jong-tae.

- Jong-tae? - Yes sir.

Do you know him?

No I don't.

Why don't you sleep at home?

I sleep in the car sometimes.

But it's quite cold these days.

Find yourself a motel.

Don't tell Dynamite about me.

Yes sir.

Thank you sir!

What's the collateral?

Come one man, aren't we close?

We even have mutual friends!

- I'm the collateral. - Hold on.

Can I borrow $5,000 against this car?

Bought in 2017 and rode 10,000 km.

It's worth around $30,000!

$30,000?

Hello?

Glad you called back.

It's my friend, he's trustworthy.

Why don't you lend him money if he's trustworthy?

I don't lend money to anyone, not even my family.

What the hell?

Alright then, since this is our first deal.

- Can I see the car? - Of course.

Hey!

- Is it this car? - Yeah.

The car's in good condition.

- You have the documents? - Of course.

The documents are fine.

Where's the car keys?

I don't have it right now.

What the...

Be careful not to get addicted.

What's all this for?

This might sting a little.

Should I start?

Nice to meet you sir

I'll explain concisely.

You can speak after I cut fingers one and two.

After that, nod your head if you're willing to confess.

If you don't nod, I'll continue to cut fingers three four and five.

Then you'll get a chance to speak again.

Please nod your head and let me know.

Left hand will be the same as the right hand.

Oh and your toes.

You get a chance to speak after I cut all five

I'll start cutting now.

Didn't you hear what I said?

You can speak after I cut two fingers.

It hurts more if you move.

Why are you doing this to me?

You will die with no pain if you answer my questions.

But you will die painfully if you lie or refuse to answer.

Oh my god.

I'll give all my money.

So please don't kill me

Will you let me go if I answer?

To be honest.

I'm not a gang member I only drove the car.

Seems like he knows about it.

Even the court has extenuating circumstances?

Isn't this too harsh?

I'll ask one last time.

Who's the client and who are the killers?

Even Anton in the movie 'No Country for Old Men'

gets a last chance with coin flipping.

Please give me one last chance before I die.

How long can you hold your breath in water?

Around...

One minute and 30 seconds?

One minute and 30 seconds.

Are you refusing?

Of course not!

But promise to let me go if I succeed!

You know the answer to my question.

Only Tae-ju know's the client.

Tae-ju's brother Tae-jeong.

And Tae-jeong's underling Hoon.

- Try calling them. - I already did.

Maybe they're sleeping.

It's Tae-jeong's birthday today They should be partying.

Did you notice anyone unusual who came to the pub?

No one came.

A new customer came few days ago.

He left with Dynamite and they both disappeared.

Dynamite, the money lender.

Dynamite never skips days coming to the pub.

And one more thing.

Jong-tae's car has been in the parking lot for days.

I'm a bit worried.

Jong-tae, can we meet?

Come to my place.

Please keep this as top secret.

The hound will soon catch the prey Please keep this as top secret.

Park Jeong-ja.

He didn't look like a normal person.

Police?

Girls have instincts.

He's like a beast wearing suits.

I have a bad feeling and it's never wrong.

I hope it's wrong this time.

Send me the security camera video.

Also the credit card transaction history.

He only used cash.

What if he comes again?

I'm not sure yet.

But I will kill him if he gets in my way.

Shouldn't we tell Seol-min about this?

I don't trust politicians.

I know that he sued you.

But he's at least a reasonable person.

Don't we have to make the move first?

Happy birthday to you.

Guess you'll die on your birthday.

If you manage to get out of here alive.

Even after my hands and foot are cut.

I will find you and kill you.

Fuck!

I will peel your skin with my teeth

I will take your guts out

and eat them alive in front of you.

So make sure you kill me.

Do I have to pull his teeth also?

No sir!

I might just burn Tae-jeong with fuel like you did before.

Hello Officer Park?

Oh right, I forgot that you got fired three years ago

I'm sorry for you're wife and daughter for getting murdered.

But what if the press gets to know that

a former officer is now a hitman?

Councilor Seol-min?

Aren't you looking for Nak-Joong? The one who killed your family.

Let's make a deal

Mr. Shim and the old lady.

I have them with me.

Let's trade these two with the two guys you have

I will go with Tae-ju

I won't bring any police so don't worry.

You also have some good information.

I'll text you the address.

Should I do CPR on him?

It's been one hour already.

Then what do we do?

Just do as we always did.

Will you let me go?

Let go to where?

Where is Mr. Shim?

Tae-jeong first.

Where is Tae-jeong?

Sorry brother.

Didn't we make a deal?

I'm above the laws This is the way I do it.

Shut up before I blow your head up.

Calm down We're not here to fight.

Can't you see my brother dead?

Everyone will die if you continue!

I'm sorry for your brother but face the reality.

They also have a gun.

This is why I said we should kill the old lady!

Think about the present!

Fucking bitch.

Fine, go ahead and kill me!

How dare you touch me!

Shoot this old lady first.

You will die if you do so.

Just shoot her!

Watch your mouth.

You also can't leave alive without my permission.

You think that you're the boss here?

I dropped your charges and saved you from going to prison.

How dare you to act like this?

We're just business partners, nothing more.

So shut up.

How much did she give you?

If you kill her

I'll give you three times more.

Is it not enough?

I have my own rules and I go by my own rules.

You said you're above the laws.

You're all caught up in your own heads.

Even if I die here.

I will die after killing you.

Why don't we make new rules now.

Isn't money everything?

My rules are more important.

You're just a shitty cop and yet you talk like this?

Rules my ass!

If you have set a goal, then work for it by all means.

- Don't you know who I am? - Bullshit.

My brother is a chief prosecutor!

You're just a shitty former officer.

Aplogize to me!

I'm an expert.

I kill people who stays above the laws.

People like you.

You're even filled with victim mentality against governmental authority!

Did I kill your family?

No, but why are you mad at me?

Stand up ma'am.

Good afternoon officer.

Am I not allowed to park here?

That car is idling with no driver.

Do you happen to know the car?

I don't know sir.

Didn't you come together?

No sir, I parked here just to take a nap.

The curtains make the inside warmer.

Isn't it cold outside?

I'll get going now officer.

Alright.

Drive safely sir.

- Get him. - Get who?

The guy running away.

Hurry!

Damn it.

Be quiet.

A lot happened in a short time.

Are you alright?

You're client is dead now.

To be honest.

Jeong-ja's son blackmailed me.

So I just tried to scare him.

Jong-tae is the one that killed him.

Say that a worker made a mistake.

Doesn't mean that the CEO takes responsibility right?

What the hell?

Is he a lawyer?

Mr. Shim is the bastard.

He was taking advantage of you.

After getting beaten up by Jong-tae

Mr. Shim told us everything.

Also about Nak-joong.

He changed his name and was in prison at Anyang.

Mr. Shim knew but didn't tell you.

How can you work with someone that lies to you.

There's no more reason to kill me now.

It must be fate for us to meet like this.

How about working with me?

Let's do a huge business together.

My job is to kill you.

You're so stuck up.

I'm the city councilor!

The whole country will go topsy-turvy if I die.

And my brother is a chief prosecutor.

Sue me if you can.

I don't care

I'm above the laws.

You moron.

Fine.

I'll give you $1 million

$1.3 million?

Alright

$1.9 million.

This is my last offer

I worked my ass of for that money!

I don't need it.

Go to hell with the money.

Are you fucking crazy?

How can a police do this to a disabled like me?

Why didn't you tell me about Nak-joong?

I worried you would get distracted.

I was gonna tell after you finish this work.

Don't take it personally.

I couldn't bare calling with a burner phone.

I think it's time to retire now.

Seems like you'll retire soon.

My kids have to receive my insurance on death.

So just leave me here and go.

He's so noisy.

How dare you treat me like this!

You bastard.

Doesn't matter if you're smart and rich or dumb and poor.

It's all useless in front of death.

You will also get killed one day!

See you in hell.

I'm a Deacon of Geumnan Church!

How dare you do this to the son of God!

I don't care about God I'm just doing my job.

You're filled with a distorted sense of accomplishment.

How dare you talk about God with your filthy mouth!

Wait!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Please don't kill me!

Fuck you!

The client requested to burn you alive.

- I'll start preparing. - Okay.

- It's okay officer. - Just take it

I owe you a lot Officer Park.

Thank you sir.

Min-ji, the dealer.

She's a hitman like us.

She persuaded Seol-min

and got Tae-ju involved into this.

She took the $100,000.

She's an expert like you.

Are you going to kill me?

I'll kill you with no pain.

Can I wait until the sun sets?

As you wish
