Ooh, what have we got here?

All the assholes in one place, huh?

What the heck? The Professor?

I was wondering who that was. It's Mr. Ha of Gwangju.

Ah, fucking hell.

Hey, Seokbae.

What? I thought you were locked up.

What are you doing here?

I rushed over thinking you'd be here sniffing around.

How'd you get out?

Now how the hell does any of that concern you?

Stop wasting your time out here.

Go have a glass of whatever it is you like to drink.

I mean, since you're here and you know the spot already,

why don't we just kill two birds with one stone?

Hey, you're desperate enough to pull these kind of tricks?

What tricks? And who's desperate?

You know what hoops I had to jump through to get him out of prison?

You think you can just freeload?

Well, we could just drop down there ourselves over and over.

We're bound to find something.

Then go ahead and dive right on in. What are you waiting for?

You watch yourself.

When this is over… As soon as this is over, I'm kicking your damn ass.

You laughing?

All right, let's not do this here.

Let's go to Jeungdo and have a talk.

What's there to even say?

Then should we just stay here?

We should figure this out.

Fine.

Guess we'll come up with something once we start talking.

Hey, let's go.

Right, let's go to Jeungdo!

Okay.

- You little piece of shit. - We'll see you there.

- Just you wait. - All right.

Let's move out.

Shit.

EPISODE 4, FEAST WITH THE ENEMY

JEUNGDO

Dang, Jeungdo.

- It's been a minute. - It has, Boss.

You been before? It's my first time here.

Right. This is where Sangbok lives, isn't it?

Oh, yeah. You're right. Sangbok does live here.

Ah, man. How come we never come out here?

Hey, Seokbae. Let's just head to your shed.

- It's a bit of a mess. - Hold on. Where are we going now?

He's got some drinks in his shed.

You really think it's the time for that?

Just chill out. We don't bite.

Ugh, shit.

You can survive a night in a tiger's den if you keep your eyes open.

Still, this place is crawling with hustlers and scammers.

All right, enough outta you already.

- Get your hands off me. - Come on.

Hey, so, what's the move here?

What do you think? We gotta come to a deal.

I mean, we can't let them have it. So should we just take them out?

Are you crazy? What kinda stupid shit…

So, I was wondering, how'd you get out?

Why? You thought you'd just get to relax and have all the fun on your own?

Have fun? You can get the hell outta here with that shit.

I've kept my head down.

Wow, this is nice.

Here you are. Enjoy.

Seonja, did you grow up around here?

Well, I was born in Beolgyo, but I spent most of my time here in Mokpo.

So what's in Seoul then? Why there?

Don't really know if I wanna tell you, if I'm being honest.

Anyway, what made you wanna go back to Seoul?

A job thing.

But seriously, why Seoul? Just say it.

Okay, truth is…

I'm actually into fashion, and design, and all kinds of outfits.

I wanna try and get a job at a clothing factory there.

Oh…

Check it out. This one was all me.

What do you think? Not bad, huh?

That'll only sell in the countryside.

Whatever.

People around here say I have a good fashion sense.

Don't worry. When I get a house, you can be my housekeeper.

You're being an asshole.

I thought we were friends or something.

-Where's this from? -I just found it.

Just found it. Sure you did.

Holy crap, this is silk.

This is swanky as hell.

But I'm curious, what are you giving me this for?

-If you don't want it, gi-give it back. -No, you already gave it to me.

You can't take it back.

Wow, it's so pretty!

Dang, it's nice.

What if… what if someone calls the cops because I look so fancy?

How do I look?

Well…

What kind of reaction is that?

Ugh, I think I look great.

Let's try it like this.

How's this?

Hey, Seokbae. Hit the lights.

Man, I don't even know what we're doing.

Wow, look at that.

-Whoa. -Huh, not bad.

Dang, Seokbae, you're loaded man.

What exactly is this place?

Well, mostly, I just use it for storage.

I'll swing by now and then…

…kick back and relax, you know.

Those chickens over there?

Yeah, the neighbors take care of them for me.

Hey, if you wanna talk, why don't we head inside first?

Hang on.

We're all going inside to talk?

Well, I don't think we all have to.

Instead, let's stick to the three of us.

Yeah, why not?

If we all chime in, we're never gonna get anywhere.

Be our guest. After you.

Now that's damn funny.

Since when have I been your guest?

When you're visiting, what else would you be? The host?

You two go on ahead.

Nature calls.

- Right now? Come on, man. - Excuse me.

-Hey, where's the toilet? -Uh, it's over there.

Okay, got wipes? Or anything?

There's straw rope.

A straw rope? Fuck…

Hey, you got anything to eat around here?

I'll go take a look.

Thanks, I'm about to starve to death here.

Hey, what you got?

I know I got kimchi and rice somewhere.

You three.

I wanna have a word.

I have to be honest.

Really can't believe you boys would just stab me in the back like this

over some bits of pottery.

Tell me what the hell I did for you to treat me this way.

I bought y'all drinks, got y'all jobs, and got you your cut!

- So how could you do this to me? - What's that supposed to mean?

You were the one who ditched us first. Forget already?

Yeah, exactly.

You started working with Seokbae instead of us.

-What were we supposed to do? -The money ain't a lot.

They're giving me crumbs. How am I supposed to split it?

Seokbae's got a kid to feed.

- Whatever, man. - Am I wrong?

Look, I didn't forget about y'all.

Got it all worked out in my head.

That so?

Then how much you getting?

You cheeky little bastard.

How much are you getting?

I can't tell you.

Afraid that's a secret.

A secret?

I'm sure it is.

Just use your heads for a second.

Once they dig up all that pottery and leave, guess who's still here?

Think you'll never see me again?

Once we bring in a fat haul, who will I be drinking with?

I do everything with you.

It's true, isn't it?

Well, in that case, why don't you tell us first?

Screw you then, motherfuckers.

You have no damn loyalty. Forget I said anything.

He's giving us half, okay? You happy?

-What does that mean? -Exactly that.

Everything we find here… Half the market price.

How does he know how much that'll be?

He's a professional, of course he'd know.

Does he have that kinda cash?

Uh, the thing is…

…something's shady about that guy.

Some bad vibes.

Damn, that hurts. Shit.

Let's go. Come on.

Oh man, they're all whispering like little kids out there.

They were spilling everything as far as I could tell.

-What do we do? -Let's just cut the bullshit and be clear.

Why don't we work on different days?

We can flip a coin, or roll dice, or play cards. Whatever you wanna do.

And the winner gets to pick.

Why go through all that?

We already know where it is. Just lend us the diver, it's that simple.

Don't worry about the money,

I got you covered.

Look, you're underestimating us.

If we keep our eyes peeled in Bangchuk-ri waters day and night,

of course we'll find it sooner or later.

We'll all get nothing if we fight over this.

Do you realize that?

I've got someone lined up in Seoul who's willing to buy all of it.

After that, we break it down. Then we can determine the cut per head.

My guy's Japanese, so it'll be easier to sell.

And I got a guy in Gwangju, all right?

And the thing with my guy is…

…if I say it's a hundred, he'll pay a hundred. No questions asked.

Yeah?

The guy I've got would point at the shelf and go,

"Give me everything from here to here." I could even slip in fakes.

Think you're the only one? I always sell out my stuff too.

All right, just forget it.

Whatever happens out there, I'll handle it on my own.

Hey, hey, wait.

Why don't we do this?

We can't get all those ceramics out by ourselves.

Hiring more people might mean word getting out.

And since we already know each other…

…let's just do this together.

Okay, but how do we divide it all?

We'll just have to split it all evenly.

- Mm-hmm. - You think that'll work?

The pieces aren't all worth the same thing. You can't split that way.

We got two experts right here, don't we?

Appraise the ceramics and we'll figure it out after that.

Sorry. Since my buyer's in Japan, I'll need quality pieces.

Come on, I'll need quality pieces too if I wanna sell anything.

Did I say you didn't? Look, nice try, but this won't work.

Water and oil don't mix.

Hey, you're not gonna walk outta here in the middle of our conversation.

We've got nothing more to say to each other.

-I'm the one holding the key. -What key?

You don't even know where the spot is.

-Let go. -You shit.

I said let go.

Are you a thug, huh?

This is stupid.

- Oh, damn it. - Shit.

Son of a bitch.

Hey! Let's go!

Damn idiots.

Shit.

I knew this would happen.

Fine, let's do it your way!

I'll be watching you like a hawk, okay?

I'll be sticking to you like white on rice.

Let's see how you like that shit.

Can you believe this stupid fucking asshole?

The fuck you just say, bitch?

- You wanna talk shit, huh? - Keep your damn shirts on!

You gonna take your pants off too?

All right, let's stop it here.

Call it a night for now.

Clear your heads and talk about it tomorrow.

All right, then.

Ah, crap. I don't know if we can find a place to stay.

- Why'd they take off their shirts? - It's a long story.

Kid's always running hot.

Oh, shit. Gotta hold it in…

There I go.

Oh, shit.

Work with me.

Why the hell, would you sneak up on a man

who's clearly taking a piss?

Just join us and we could get it all.

We wouldn't have to split the pot so much.

I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.

Ah, come on, man.

I'll cut you a good deal.

How's 30% of the profits sound? Damn, 30%.

- I said no. - Wow.

What are you trying to pull over there?

Thing is, you're not even asking the real question. It's pretty obvious.

What's that?

The fact that we're talking out here instead of in prison.

I'm still supposed to be locked up.

You can ask me all you want.

I'm afraid my lips are sealed.

Well, well. I wonder what Mr. Big Shot from Seoul is up to now?

THE SUNKEN TREASURE OFF DODEOKDO

Oh…

You're still up, Mrs. Yang?

Hi, you're awake.

Would you like something to eat?

No, it's okay. I won't be up much longer.

Hmm, okay.

Good night, Mrs. Yang.

Hey, wake up.

Hey now, get up. I'm going to work. Aren't you gonna see me off?

Ah, shit.

Ow, my head hurts.

You were drinking like a fish last night.

What? Where are we?

In my room. Where do you think?

Don't say you forgot.

Wait, did I sleep here?

Do you remember what I said last night?

Um, was it about that Busan guy?

You remember. Well, that's good.

That must mean you remember your promise too, right?

What do you mean?

Uh, do you only remember whatever you want to?

You said you'd talk to the madam, and help me move to Seoul.

Wha… Really?

Uh, you said there was a clothing store I could work at.

You knew a big one over in Jongno.

-How am I getting you work? -How the hell would I know?

Uh, wait, where are my clothes?

Hey.

Did we do it last night?

What? Don't tell me you forgot it all.

After you started getting all handsy with me like this, we had sex, yeah.

Ah, shit. You're kidding.

Uh, was there anything else?

Yeah, you kept talking a lot.

It only takes a few drinks for you to turn into a motormouth.

Hey listen. Don't repeat anything I said last night to anyone, for your own good.

You get me?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Just forget everything I said last night, okay?

I was just, you know, talking shit to get into your pants.

Shit.

Hey, did… did he say anything about pottery?

- The Busan guy? - No, he didn't.

But he definitely had a gun in his bag.

Gun?

Like, what kind of a gun? Like a pistol?

Yeah, it looked real fancy.

Seonja, tell your boyfriend to eat something and sober up.

Where you off to, cutie-pie? There's food for you.

Ah, shit.

Damn it…

Shit.

It's cramped in here.

Fuck.

Shit.

I'm surprised you let him sleep in here, though.

I thought you couldn't stand men.

I might've played a little trick on him.

What'd you do?

He kept talking about buried things,

so I buried a little something.

Yeah, I bet you had fun

burying that little something something last night.

Let's go eat.

Oh, shit.

Ah, shit.

Ma'am? Ma'am!

-Hey. -Oh, boy, why didn't you come sooner?

- Everyone's already gone out. - Where'd they go?

Didn't they go to Jeungdo?

Jeungdo? W-When's the next boat heading there?

Well, to get out that way, there's only two boats a day.

And the morning one left a while ago.

Don't know if there's a second boat in the afternoon.

Uh, why'd I do that?

I shouldn't have drank.

Yeah. He went to catch the boat?

Guess he'll take the next one. All right, ma'am. Thanks.

That idiot said he'd be here yesterday.

Well, it ain't like we can watch him round the clock anyway.

It'd be better if we had Bokgeun here, though.

Ain't there a way to flip him?

Also, how did Kim get him out? I mean he was locked up.

He's got connections all over.

I bet he knows someone on the inside.

We should just kick their ass. We outnumber these idiots with Heedong.

What's wrong? Your blood boiling again?

Well, what if we all just worked together?

Hey, how're we supposed to split the money then, huh?

Why split it? Just take it and bail.

What's the point in trying to split it when we can take it all?

Wow, I like the way you think.

You're not as dumb as I thought.

Well, that's not a bad idea.

Hey, yeah.

What brings you here?

Uh, what the…

Hey there.

Professor Kim.

Here, do you like melons?

Could I have a word with you?

I should tell you,

before we came down here,

we placed some pieces underwater.

So, how many pieces are there?

Well, it's sure to be a lot more than what we dig up out there.

And, with your expert appraisal,

we could easily pull one over on our buyer in Seoul.

So you don't lift a finger…

And you still cash in, huh?

Right.

'Cause no one needs to die for these ones.

In that case, you're raking in all that cash by yourself.

You can flip that money several times over.

How we handle our sales, that's our business.

I'm here to try and figure out something else, all right?

Our impasse.

You sure know how to wheel and deal.

All right, which are you taking? The ones you farmed?

Let's include all the farmed pots.

Then we'll divvy it up. Evenly, after costs.

And those guys?

Nah, they're not part of the deal.

I mean, they're your guys. You can handle it.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Tell me, how are we gonna do this? You, me, and…

The Tiger.

- And the Tiger? - Three ways.

And whoever's working for us, we handle on our own.

What do you say?

Pretty damn good, huh?

What is it? Do you want it in writing, sir?

Writing? Don't be silly.

We're just digging salvage.

All right, let's do this.

Hello, sir. Welcome.

-Hey, it's been a while. -Yes, sir.

-Right this way to the chairman. -Wow.

It's a fine day.

Here. It's fully stocked.

Oh, I couldn't.

Thank you so much, Chairman Cheon.

So, uh, have you been out for drinks much these days?

No. Hardly ever. Only when I see you.

There's not enough time in the day for me.

Oh, but you're taking care of the country.

You have to find time for yourself.

By the way, um… What was it again?

-What? -You mentioned starting a school?

Oh.

Well, you know, it's so chaotic out there.

I just hold on to that one lifeline.

Uh-huh. What do you mean?

Well, of course I'm talking about you.

Because you're the only one I can count on these days.

Ah, geez. You're making it sound bigger than it is.

Oh, and also, I'm building a museum, right there at the school.

A cushy position for you after retirement.

Settling down on campus wouldn't be so bad.

Museum, huh?

What kind of museum is it?

You know about the ship?

The treasure ship that sank off Sinan.

Well, I sent some people there, to go and bring up the relics.

That means you're breaking the law.

Do you know how many times fisherman have pulled them up already?

- Somebody's got to buy them. - Well, in that case, um…

Would you mind setting aside some pieces for me to take?

-What? -Americans, you know.

They're obsessed with everything oriental.

I mean, give them a gift of that caliber,

I swear they'll go head over heels.

- Over the moon, even. - I see.

I'd love it if you could set aside

a good deal of it.

There's a lot of hands I'm gonna have to shake.

I'll set aside the very best pieces I can find.

Ah, the drinks are hitting just right.

Oh, here. Cheers.

Look, we've got too many people here.

We have to figure out who's getting on the boat.

Why can't we just take two boats out there?

We can't 'cause of the locals. Let's take one boat.

Why?

Back when they first pulled it up, no one really gave a shit.

But then, last year the navy showed up.

That got people's attention quick.

They put up a watch post,

so if we take two boats out, we'll get caught.

So only one boat, that's for sure.

Next, we'll need guys who are gonna dive in the water.

So then, how many people are we talking here?

If all of us get on, we won't have room for the pottery.

Uh, are you guys yapping the whole time or what?

Only one of us should be the leader.

All right, then. I'll talk.

No, no, no, no. For this one, I should do the talking.

Remember, I'm a professor.

But I've got the most experience selling these things.

Well, if we're talking man power, I've got the most guys.

Listen up, the second I make a call,

a whole group of guys will come running. You can bet on that.

You don't think I have guys? I'll make a call.

Stay out of this before you say something dumb.

Hey, let's just cool down.

Why don't we just go and get a bigger boat?

-That ought to fix this, right? -I already told you we need a small one

'cause anything bigger will get us caught out there!

Hey, hey, hey. Be quiet.

Professor Kim. Hey, you too. Let's have a talk.

Ugh, what the hell is this shit?

Hey, I don't wanna do this. Let's all be adults.

That's real rich from the guy who is always trying to pull something.

Look, we can't all get on the boat.

You two are pottery experts. You're not cut out for this.

I'm not cut out for this, am I?

I've been raiding tombs for 30 years.

Great, but when we're out there, we need guys who can haul pottery.

Do the appraisal when we get back.

Yeah, 'cause you won't pull a fast one on us and stash it away?

You think I don't see your angle here?

All right, sure.

Once we're on this boat, we get out there and we all do what we have to do.

- Understand? - Don't order me around.

I know what I'm doing.

- You better not slack off. - Hey, Uncle.

What the hell happened?

Uh, what… what's going on here?

- We're doing it together. - What?

The pottery, what do you think?

Oh, hey, kid.

I tried hitting on that coffee shop girl,

but she shot me down right down.

Man, that chick's got the softest hands, though, doesn't she?

- Damn it. - Wha…

- What are you doing? - Hey,

- what do you think you're doing? - Hey, Heedong.

Is this guy usually this nuts?

Come on. What's your problem?

- Whoa. What the hell? - Get down.

You piece of shit!

- What the hell are you doing? - Hey, come here.

What?

That guy's carrying a gun.

Seonja said she saw it in his bag.

-Hey, pick up my shit. -Wait, this whole time you were with her?

Come on.

I told you to be careful, you little shit. Not go around town flapping your mouth.

- Damn it. - You need to get your shit together.

Look, before we all get on.

I need to check everyone's pockets.

And who the fuck are you?

Who the fuck are you to go through my shit?

Hey…

Well, look what we got here.

- Son of a bitch. - Hey, give it here.

If you have any useless crap like this, let me see it.

I got these nail clippers right here.

Are these okay to bring?

They're not, give it here.

Really?

Anything sharp or jagged, take it out now.

No, there's no fucking way this is gonna work.

We got too many cooks in the kitchen.

Fuck!

The hell's his deal?

Look, I spent years on deep-sea fishing vessels.

Once a boat goes out on the water, the laws of the land don't apply.

Does that mean chaos?

Not quite. 'Cause we got the captain there.

The captain's word is the law!

If we head out to sea like this,

it's gonna be a fight over who's in charge.

He said stop and he said go. It'll be a total shit show out there.

He's got a point. We're gonna need a leader.

I say someone who knows the sea should take the lead.

He's right.

We ended up with a bigger crew, but we have to work together out at sea.

We'll need a boss. One who can really make that happen, yeah?

All right, then.

Let's go ahead and pick the boss.

Let's do it then.

Hi, I've been meaning to ask.

Hi, I've been meaning to ask.

Is there any chance some pieces could be high-end?

"High-end," you mean, uh…

I need them as a gift for someone.

I'll need around 30. The finest ones you can source.

Uh, but…

Chairman, would this be included in the five million?

Of course not. This is a whole different thing.

So make sure you get the best ones.

Oh, of course, Chairman Cheon. I'll scale things up a bit.

Okay then.

Uh, has Jeonchul called recently?

No.

It's been a while since he reported in.

They could've started working. You can't make calls out at sea.

So then, you're scaling things up?

Yeah, we had to change course.

And what made you change your tune?

Assemblyman Kim agreed he's going to back me, 100%.

He's got a lot of palms to grease, so he asked if I had anything good.

Anything good?

Gifts military officers would like.

These Americans, they go crazy over oriental ceramics.

That's good news.

Really? The museum idea was so repulsive to you. What changed?

Well, this is great if it helps us grow.

But don't you think we can do a lot more than this?

How so?

Once word gets out, his bosses and superiors will also want in.

Stock up on ceramics.

That way we can make real money from the start.

Since we need pieces for the museum already,

we might as well profit while we're at it, yeah?

Precisely.

A museum's not going to draw attention.

I mean we just need to put a few real ones in the front.

The rest we can put to greater use.

You sure got a damn sharp mind for things like this.

Now…

Here's everything you need to know.

I'm the guy who'll always find a way to get a piece of the pie.

When it comes to money…

…I'm like a moth to a flame,

I just can't help it.

They always ask how I'm so good at sniffing out jackpots.

So I tell them, "It's not money that has a smell, it's people."

And speaking from experience, everyone here reeks.

Y'all reek.

Y'all reek of money.

Our goal is to ensure that this is fair and just.

All the while trying to get the greatest payout we can get.

Now, the key here

is gonna be excavating first and splitting the shares later.

Let me say one more thing.

Well, the reason I should be in charge here

is 'cause I was born to do it.

Even when I was in prison, I was in charge.

And obviously I'm the boss here now.

And I bring out the greatest energy in people.

Like, uh, you do this, you do that.

Roles. I hand those out.

Seongcheol.

What are you doing out here?

Listen, Cheon? He's grabbing the reins.

Oh, yeah?

Not exactly sure how he wants this race to play out.

But one thing's for sure, he definitely wants to run it.

I wonder what got into that stubborn old man.

I have no idea.

Maybe he saw the Grim Reaper in his dreams,

or maybe it was the gift to his wife that did it.

What do you mean? What'd you give her?

You don't need to know.

Hey. The guy that Cheon wants me to give the pottery to…

I think he's a big shot, at least from what I heard.

We should probably give him one of the pieces from Sinan.

That's not a problem.

Celadon or white porcelain, just give him whatever he wants, done deal.

By the way, how much did you promise Ha Yeongsu?

What do you mean?

He'll want a bigger slice for a bigger a haul.

Okay, look.

Does he have any money or any guys?

Does he do anything besides just sit there?

Maybe not, but Ha Yeongsu is the only appraisal expert you got.

What if he tries something?

Nah, he doesn't have the guts to do that. No.

He's a small-time grifter.

If I throw him a little extra, he'll fall in line quick.

Also,

there was this guy, Kim, in Daein-dong.

He was a Saemaul leader.

He'd sit in on all sorts of big discussions

at the table with President Park.

He and I go way back, you know.

Let me see…

What elementary school did he go to…

Was he in Daein-dong then?

Im-dong sounds right though.

Or maybe Ilpyeong Elementary, was that it?

What's your point? Just get to it.

Ah, well, so anyway…

What I'm trying to say is…

I was wondering if it was necessary or if it was just a waste

for me to tag along with y'all.

Then why don't you stay at the inn and you can appraise all of it later.

But sitting around drinking and waiting out the clock,

well, that doesn't seem wise. Now that would be a waste.

If you look around we got experts out the ass. Go back to Gwangju.

Well, I came all this way, so I don't want to leave with nothing.

Obviously, in this life, we're born with empty hands,

and in death, we leave with empty hands.

However, I'm involved now,

so my conscience tells me I have to contribute in some way.

It'd be the right thing to do.

Man, the Gwangju Tiger really has a way with words now, doesn't he?

I could tell just by looking,

the instant anyone here tried to take control,

no one else would abide or accept it, see?

So, with that in mind,

I ask for your support as I take it upon myself to bear this heavy responsibility.

As the only one here without conflicting interests,

I'd appreciate if y'all would consider for this--

Well, we're gonna have fights no matter who we choose.

-Got a solid point. -Wait, is this your first time out at sea?

I took a boat out to raid some tombs in Aphaedo.

You wouldn't believe it, absolutely terrible.

If it's that awful, why put yourself through it?

Nothing succeeds without toil.

And now it's become one of my most cherished remembrances.

I don't know if this is the right call or not.

Trying to avoid a puddle but stepping in dog shit.

I would like to remind y'all once again,

that I'm purely acting in everyone's interest.

Could I get a round of applause?

Should I go on?

I could do this all night.

Yeah, that's more like it.

Why, thank you.

All right, listen. There are a lot of people, so be careful.

And make sure that the weight on both sides is equal.

"THE FIRST BOSS HA YEONG-SU"

Go ahead.

I'm the boss and my word is law, all right?

Hey, take this.

Hey!

Bokgeun, you're the one who knows where it is, so we need you up front!

- Here, take this with you too. - Don't talk to me.

I know what I'm doing.

Don't you think it'll sink if everyone gets on?

You two stay here. Heedong and I will check it out.

Are you sure?

We're just gonna go and check out the spot.

Hey. One of you guys should come too.

Hey, give it.

Excuse me, coming through.

- All right, hurry up. - Get on already.

Captain Hwang! Let's head out!

Oh, man.

This is killing me! How much longer?

Just a little bit further now!

That's Dodeokdo over there!

Yeah!

That's Sodando!

Daedando! Naegaldo! Oegaldo!

What's wrong? Is there a problem here?

Damn it, can you just give me a second?

I was locked up for too long, it ain't easy.

You can't forget where it is!

Man, this is rough as shit.

The current's so strong, of course the navy couldn't haul it all out!

We're barely moving!

This boat's seriously a piece of shit!

Yeah, I know. I don't think this boat's going to cut it!

Ah, fuck this.

Somebody's going to end up dead before we even find this shit.

What, down there?

- Here? - Are you sure?

- Yeah, hey. Stop! - Hey, cut the engine already!

We'll drift away if we just do that.

I should be able to see, uh, the head of Naegaldo and the tail of, uh…

and the tail of Oegaldo from here!

Ah, come on. Fuck!

Does he even know where it is?

-This motherfucker. -Hey, you dumb asshat!

You're going right back if you don't find it!

Fuck me!

It's right around here!

What the fuck. It all looks the same.

Huh?

Hey!

There!

- Wait, are you serious? - It's there?

-Yeah! I'm sure! There! -Hurry, quick drop the anchor!

Hurry up! Come on.

Throw it down.

Hey, Seokbae, get ready now!

Oh, hey, Seongcheol! Hey, Seongcheol.

Here, here, here, here.

So, I talked to Cheon and set up a meeting with the big shot.

Who is it?

The politician, Kim Myeonggu.

I'm meeting him in a bit at a restaurant for lunch, and you should join us.

Who else is going?

I think just him. He wouldn't want anyone seeing this.

Cheon really made a huge decision this time around.

I mean, the fact that he's leaving this client and deal to me says a lot.

It looks like you and Cheon are in bed together

for the time being, aren't you?

Ugh, gross! Why would you put that image in my head?

Geez.

-Oh! Hey. -Oh, hey!

Did you find anything?

-Are we in the right spot? -Nothing down there.

You checked the whole area down there?

I mean, I looked everywhere. Nothing but dirt.

-That doesn't make any sense. -Sure you know where it is?

Seokbae, you should try searching over here.

Hey, man, you want me to search the whole sea floor?

Look, damn it. This here current is strong as all hell!

I'm telling you, it's around here.

Come on, try over this way.

Hey, you're not the one diving, you son of a bitch.

-Just swim that way. -Ah, hell with this.

I'm exhausted, man.

Search the whole area!

Damn it.

Hi, I'm sorry I'm so late.

- Oh. - No, it's okay.

My meeting ran long.

- So sorry. - Don't worry about it, Mr. Kim.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm Song Gitaek, an antiques dealer.

Oh, wow, the pleasure's mine.

- Kim Myeonggu. - Hello.

I'm Han Seongcheol. I work as a potter.

- Right. Pleasure to meet you. - You too.

- All right. Let's sit down. - Yes, of course.

I know you have a really busy schedule, so I appreciate you meeting with us today.

-Mr. Kim, would you like your usual? -Yeah, sure. I'll have the usual.

You too. Go have dinner.

From what I hear,

you two gentlemen have a lot of great pieces.

Right, yes, yes.

I must admit we do have some fine pieces in our collection, Mr. Kim.

All right, well, are any of them worth taking a look at?

Yes, of course.

I got this one that's extremely valuable and unique.

It carries the true essence of Goryeo--

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hey…

Guys like me, we wouldn't get it even if you explained it.

Just go ahead and choose the ones that are the best of their kind.

Mmm. Well, what are you looking for?

An obvious showpiece.

Hmm?

You know, something that gets you to go, "Wow! That's a masterpiece."

If that's the case, then I have this piece here.

I really hope this one's to your tastes.

It's white porcelain from the Joseon dynasty, and it's very rare.

If you look here, you'll see, it's got a really magnificent color.

What do you think?

This is exactly what I don't want.

It could have an orchid painted right here.

Or maybe some other kind of flowers, you know?

This is just plain white. It's no good.

Mr. Kim, how about something like this?

This here is a Yuan-dynasty-made water dropper.

Wow, this is great.

How nice.

Look at this pattern!

Just beautiful.

Are you insane? What were you thinking?

Looked like he was about to walk out if I didn't do it.

Even if things were going that way, you can't show him a fake.

I can't deal with you right now.

You saw it in there.

He couldn't even tell what was real.

Isn't this better for us?

What do you mean?

What if all they can find are just plain pieces from Sinan, what then?

-Hmm. -Now we know what he likes.

We should focus on farming ones that are decorated like that.

Mm-hmm.

- I can't take this. - Boss man.

-What? -What are you doing?

To hell with this boss shit.

I don't want it. You be the boss.

Nah, I'm good.

Ah, at least the water's calmed down a little.

It's only like this for a bit. It's gonna get rough again soon.

The sun's setting. Once he's up, let's call it a day.

-Uh-huh. -You fucking bastard!

What the hell is this, huh?

I got your ass out of prison and you can't even find it, piece of shit.

- Don't rock the boat. - Gross.

Hey, you were right!

- We're gonna be rich! - Take it!

You have to be careful! Here! Don't drop it, careful!

Hey, that's a good-looking piece right there.

Come on, I wanna look at it too! Let me see it!

- Over here! - Hey, is he okay?

Wow. Now this is the real deal. The real deal.

- Did you see a lot? Did you? - I couldn't really tell.

-What? -I couldn't see that well.

-Can I see? -Hey, careful.

We've got to get a pump as soon as we can.

Like, for diving?

Yeah. It supplies air to the helmet diver.

You keep it on the boat, and pump air down through a hose.

Oh, so one goes down with an air tank, and the other guy goes down with the helmet?

Yeah, we'll go in with the helmet, we'll go in with the air tank--

-And you'll go in! -Yeah, and I'll go in.

-And I'll go in! -And you'll go in! Exactly!

Everyone's going in! Come on, man. It's too tough to dive alone.

- Ah, hell nah! - All right, all right! Back to Mokpo!

-Yeah, yeah. Let's go. -Let's get all the stuff ready to go!

We found the goddamn pottery!

We went back to Mokpo and started getting ready for the job.

We mixed up the two groups and divided the tasks so no one would try anything.

Ow!

Seokbae, Beolgu, and Jeonchul handled the diving gear and pump.

While Daesik and Bokgeun took care of the ropes and nets

for hauling everything up.

Captain Hwang was in charge of fuel for the boat and food for the trip.

Uncle Gwanseok, Professor Kim, Mr. Ha and I handled everything else.

To make it fair, we split things down the middle.

I want to sleep in my own room.

We have to stick together before we go to Jeungdo.

Let's just grin and bear it, Professor.

What are we doing for food?

We'll just have to eat out.

Loose lips sink ships. And too many drinks will get us talking.

Let's cook our own meals.

We're gonna have to buy groceries.

I can't really cook.

Come on now. How can a grown man be afraid of a little cooking?

Let's go. You're with me.

- Go. - Shit.

My legs.

All right, let's see.

- How much is this? - Oh, these are fresh.

These ones here, how much for three?

Those ones? I'll let them go for 100 each.

So just 300 won.

How about I give you 200?

Come on, you're kidding?

I'd rather throw them out instead of selling them at that price.

Hey, come on now. Barter.

Mr. Ha, who was born in the year, month and hour of the Tiger,

was like a predator out hunting even when shopping for groceries.

One, two, three. I'll go somewhere else!

He was very meticulous with his work.

He had a specific plan for what to cook and in what order.

You take the fish heads and put them on one side.

You gotta quit smoking. We're cooking here.

Ah, man, what the hell?

Red light, green light!

- Hey, slow down. - Careful.

The kids' shoes are already worn out?

Yeah, they're busted in the front,

so now their toes are sticking out.

It's always something or other. They should be studying

instead of running around.

And here I am busting my ass.

What are you doing? Do you just let them go out and play all day?

Enough of that.

Our baby girl, her hospital bill was pretty high.

-What should we do? -How much?

Five thousand won, including the medicine.

What could possibly cost 5,000 won? You trying to make us broke?

I did it for her. Our daughter's sick.

I need you to figure it out.

Don't make things harder for me while I'm working.

Bye.

I have another long call. You wanna go first?

It's all right. Go ahead.

Geez, raising kids is no joke, huh?

Are you married?

I wouldn't really call it that.

Sometimes you're with someone, sometimes you're not,

and that's how the cookie crumbles.

-By the way, where did you say you teach? -Oh, well…

I only did it for a few years,

and to this day, people still call me the professor, so I just go with it.

So which university?

What's it matter to you?

Would you even know if I told you?

It was just some school. Why are you prying?

Professor, my ass.

Yeah, that's right.

Even if we were to use fakes, they wouldn't last.

We'll need genuine pieces either way.

So I need you to find those as soon as you can, especially decorated ones.

All that aside, you need to send more money.

This is gonna take more than a few guys.

How much more are you asking for here?

Will you stop being cheap? Just send me a good amount.

There's a couple of guys I need to keep quiet.

Listen, I've only got so much cash I can give you.

Anything more and I need to get it from Cheon.

And I'll need a good reason to ask.

That's on you to figure out. 'Cause we're outta time here.

Wow, you're asking for money when you don't even know where it's going?

Who's gonna deal with the consequences?

It's for the excavation.

It's costing a lot more than everyone thought it would.

I thought you said you would cover it. The excavation costs were on you.

I'm completely in over my head here, sir,

and that's why I'm reaching out to ask you to help us both.

And in return, I'll put pieces aside that I think the Assemblyman would like.

Well, that was already a given, you know.

You wanna send money to people you can't keep track of?

- What the hell are you thinking? - Well, it's just…

The thing is I can't really explain everything in detail right now…

Forget it. I can't send it if I don't know where it's going, okay?

End of discussion.

Then the second request you made at Seoul Station, I'm sure you remember.

Unfortunately, he says he won't do it unless he's paid first.

Oh, that's, uh…

Uh, let's talk tomorrow. We'll work it out. Mmm.

What was that?

Well, that was Song calling.

Apparently, the guys he sent, they keep pestering him for more money.

I'll go check on them myself.

Why would you go there?

I'll take Kim and Park, I won't go alone.

There's something fishy about it, so I want to take a look.

Wouldn't it be great if I went to see if they really need the money

and then give it to them?

And like I said, I won't be alone.

Then, while you're at it,

go check out the lands in Suwon, Daedeok and Yeongi too if you can.

Wait, you're actually letting me go?

Would you mind if I visit the sea?

The new capital's going to be administrative.

So I should take a look before things get heated.

So you're sending me to scout the land instead of the pottery?

Forget it if you don't want to.

Uh…

Of course I do. I'll go scour the whole entire area.

Ah, seeing everything, it'll take a few days.

Where the hell's Professor Kim?

Bring him out here this minute or you're dead.

Oh, the professor, that little weasel bastard,

he just scuttled off into the night?

If you can't bring him in front of me right now,

then at least take back your trash

and give me back everything you took from me that day!

I just sell pottery here, that's all.

I was just sitting right here.

It was the professor who was doing all the talking.

Geez, do you think I'm a beggar or something?

Why would I scam you in order to make money, huh?

Wow, lady, I'm surprised you can keep a straight face

after selling that trash to me. Give me my stuff right now!

Listen, junior, you better learn. When it comes to antiques,

the best thing you can do is accept that you're gonna get scammed.

What do you think, you're the only one who's ever been made a mark?

Wow, I'm shocked, you idiot. You think that makes it better, huh?

Who's the real idiot?

-The con artist or the conned? -Fine, let's do this then!

All right, let's do this.

Kim, where is he?

- Oh, no. - So?

-You ready to talk? -What are you doing?

Or should I break another one? Bring that bastard here now! Shit!

Please! Just go!

Just shut it!

You better bring that asshole here right now!

DEOKSAN ANTIQUE SHOP

Hey, Ma.

You celebrate your birthday or something, huh?

Shit, they're all busted. Fucking hell.

I might be a shitty son, yeah?

Still wish I got an invitation to this party, you know?

Listen.

Go find and bring Professor Kim here.

You do that and I'll talk to your dad about getting you a boat.

Hey, Ma, you serious?

Dang, even the tightwad can change, huh?

Mokpo's where he's at. Small fishing village there.

Bring him back in one piece, you hear me?

Got it.

Hey, tightwad.

Tightwad!

You gotta keep your word, all right?

Okay?

Tightwad.

Where did you get this trash? Damn, man.

Take a look at the edges. Make sure they aren't ripped.

This thing's old as hell. It's been through it.

It's nothing but rips.

Here. I think this will do, right?

Let me see.

Yeah, looks good. So how many dives can you do in one day?

Ah, with that nasty current,

think I could do a couple, then I'll be burnt out.

A couple? Guess we gotta get it right, every dive.

The helmet divers can load up these here nets,

and we'll pull 'em out, all nice and easy.

They already did another excavation, and I bet they pulled out a ton.

-And there were looters too. -Is there anything there then?

Everything the navy salvaged, all of it was junk.

The real ones are still there, buried at the bottom.

That area was flat, whole thing was all solid mud stretching a kilometer.

-So how do you get it out of the mud? -Use your hands.

You gotta do it slowly and it'll come out.

Well, we gotta wrap this up before they start excavating again.

Should I talk to Honggi?

And ask when they're coming back? What do you reckon?

I bet he won't tell us.

Well, at least he still listens to you, doesn't he?

And to think that asshole used to be my lackey

back when we were all in school together.

But ever since he became a fucking cop, he acts like we're idiots.

If I ask him a favor,

I gotta sit through a two-hour lecture.

-You should still ask. -Hi, this is the Peace Inn.

If the dates overlap, we're fucked.

Mr. Oh Gwanseok? You've got a call.

- Yeah. - Here.

Thank you.

Hello? This is Oh Gwanseok.

Mr. Song.

Huh?

His wife's coming?

Yeah, all right.

I'll get her myself then.

Sounds good.

Who was it?

Song called.

Cheon's wife, she's coming here.

-You serious? -She'll be here tomorrow afternoon.

We have to push the schedule back a little.

Look here. Who's so important that you're pushing the schedule?

You don't need to know. Back to work.

Hey, care to repeat that?

THE NEXT DAY

It just had to rain while I'm here.

Oh, damn. Well, that blows.

Damn it. Oh, what the hell? Son of a bitch.

Ma'am, he's here.

Hi there.

Welcome, ma'am.

Oh, you came to pick me up?

It just seemed like the proper thing to do.

- Lead the way. - Yes, let's go.

Hey, man. Can I borrow a match?

Sorry, I don't smoke.

Uh, have you got a light?

Are you from Busan?

Why? Why are you asking?

I just noticed your accent, that's all.

Just go ahead and keep on walking like you were gonna, little guy.

Son of a bitch, better watch yourself.

What'd you say?

I said, watch yourself, fat ass.

Go ahead and let me know when you're done talking

and I'll drop your ass in one hit.
