SEONBONG TRADING CO., LTD.

SEONBONG TRADING

Didn't I tell you to get rid of them all?

You plan to keep up with this shit job?

You little shit.

What should I do with you?

You absolute moron.

Stand straight.

Apologies, sir. I'll take care of it.

Take care of what? Huh?

You couldn't even keep the guy you kidnapped.

Hey.

They seem to be connected to Kim In-seop.

Get your guys to look into them.

You think I'm doing this just for myself, you morons?

I'm the only one looking after you after your discharge.

You idiots.

You're not listening, are you?

Sir.

This is the guy who took Kim In-seop.

HEROES NEXT DOOR PART 1

They're my neighbors who helped me get Producer Kim back.

She's the head of the Women's Association in Changri-dong.

This is the youth association president.

Yes, I'm the youth association president--

Now's not the time for introductions.

- Mr. Choi. - Yes?

What is this place?

It's my first time here too, so...

I'm Lee Geun-cheol, the Vice Minister of National Defense.

And this is Major Lee Su-jin.

So this is a safe house?

We thought it'd be best for Mr. Kim to stay here

since he's involved in a Ministry of National Defense case.

No wonder the gas prices were way too high at this station.

So that was on purpose.

To keep others from coming here. Right?

Mr. Lee, does every neighborhood have one of these?

That's confidential. Let's sit.

Okay.

- Oh, gosh. - This is so cool.

What are you doing?

So the bombs that the military snuck away went off in our neighborhood?

Yes.

So that's why soldiers were there to clean up the site.

To get rid of the evidence.

Is it even possible for the military to sneak away bombs?

Even a missing shell casing is a huge deal.

It could be possible precisely because it's the military.

Who snuck away the bombs?

We're looking into that right now.

Seeing as you've brought Producer Kim all the way here,

I guess some big names are involved.

Big names?

Maybe the President or the Minister of National Defense?

That's nonsense.

That's how it always is in movies.

Why would the President or the Minister come here, of all places?

What if I'm right?

If you are, you can take your favorite toy from my stationery store.

Are you here to chit-chat?

- No, I just-- - "Toys," are you serious?

I got scolded because of you.

This is pretty cool.

By the way, Mr. Choi.

Yes?

How do you know the Vice Minister of National Defense?

Maybe he's a secret agent or something.

Oh, well...

Hold on.

It's General Hwang!

Who's General Hwang?

- It's his wife. - Yeah.

I'd better get going right now,

so let's talk about the details tomorrow at the bunker.

- Okay, goodnight. - Bye.

- Bye. - Goodnight.

Hey, I'm on my way.

I'm right in front of the house. Okay.

Goodnight!

We'd better head home too.

Tell me everything you know.

Do you know about the JDD?

What?

Just spill it.

This is supposed to be a secret, but...

You've been acting weird since moving here.

Me? No way.

You used to come straight home after work before moving here.

Since when did you start doing a lap around town every evening?

The youth association president--

Come up with a new excuse, at least.

It's always the same story.

Try a little harder.

Wash up and go to bed.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey!

Were you scolded by your wife?

It was fine.

Really?

You know that button camera you gave me yesterday?

My legendary masterpiece that you lost?

I didn't lose it.

I planted it on one of the kidnappers.

Can you track its last location?

It might've captured some important clues

that point to who's behind it, you know?

Man...

It was turned off last night.

Did it run out of battery?

No, it's supposed to last a month.

But I can see where it turned off.

Yeah? Where is it?

Why? Are you going alone again?

Of course I am.

Only I know the location.

- Give it to me. - Hey, stop it.

- Cut it out. - You can't come!

- Just give it to me! - Let me go with you, then.

What are you guys doing so early in the morning?

Oh, nothing.

I'm just teaching Byeong-nam how to sweep.

He was doing such a terrible job.

See you at lunch.

Fine by me.

I have to go to work now. Bye.

All right.

Why are you meeting at lunch?

What are you doing without me?

Let me join you too.

Join us on what? It's nothing.

Even last night, you guys left me out...

Hey, Nam-yeon.

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

No, not you.

I'm on my way now.

I'll be right over, honey.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm late.

So what's up?

SAFE GAS STATION

Another order from Safe Gas Station?

The same gas station where you went with my buddies last night.

Are you really not going to tell me?

About what?

Why were you at the gas station with Yong-hui, Byeong-nam, and the tutor?

Stop asking.

If you ask one more time...

Delivery!

Okay, thank you.

Those must be the Changri Market flyers.

Hand them out on your deliveries.

Can't a man ask a question?

They usually hire people from other fields as insurance fraud investigators.

Like detectives, lawyers, or nurses. People who can easily spot fraud.

But this guy, Choi Kang,

quit college halfway, was exempt from conscription,

and was jobless before getting hired without even a proper major?

Do you see what I mean?

And Veotigo Insurance, where Choi Kang works,

is funded by the government.

Like a government grant for private companies?

No.

It's a defense RandD grant from the Ministry of National Defense,

issued by Foreign Affairs.

Why would Foreign Affairs fund a grant from National Defense?

It's not unheard of, but it's not common, either.

Since when?

Since he started working here?

Yes.

And on top of that, the grant doesn't have an end date.

Hold on.

A while ago,

I heard about a military unit that Foreign Affairs only station abroad.

So he wasn't part of the Ministry of National Defense?

Hey, make sure to look into this.

Yes, sir.

Any updates on the bombs in Kiyun-si?

It took real effort to smuggle them out, so why are they back in Korea?

Someone paid double the price abroad to purchase the bombs,

but the brokers lost contact, so they want us to wait.

Well, we can't wait forever.

Another thing.

I've been hearing rumors

that the Vice Minister is looking into the bombs.

The Vice Minister?

Yes.

Hello.

So you've been busy lately.

Sorry?

I hear you've been nosing around here and there.

Actually, I had something to report to you.

Report? About what?

The bombs that were part of our military supplies

went off in a civilian area.

It looks like there's corruption in our ministry.

Is that so?

Would you have anything to say about this, sir?

Huh?

NA EUN-JAE

You snuck away arms and used the money to invest in Changri-dong,

and those weapons have returned and are giving you a nightmare.

That's not what's important.

The Vice Minister seems to know something.

Remember how confident you were when you screamed at me?

That you'd take care of everything?

Who said I wouldn't?

You know everything now, anyway.

I'm just saying we should help each other when in need.

"Each other"?

Come on.

Why do you have to be so uptight?

If this goes wrong,

it's over for all of us.

You know this.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SPEAKER, KWON SANG-TAE

Hi, Mr. Kwon.

It's me, Eun-jae.

Why don't we catch up over dinner?

Go straight this way.

Okay.

About your no-comment stuff.

I told Nam-yeon everything.

Oh, come on.

You can't keep a secret, can you?

She was ready to kill me.

And she saw everything, so I had no choice.

Anyway, I have a question.

That'll be 500 won.

Why, you...

- Give me a discount. - Fine, 300 won.

Why did you join JDD?

To make money.

- That's all? - That'll be extra 200 won.

Hey!

You're kidding me. Forget it.

Seriously!

SEOON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Did those things block off the GPS signal?

They look like regular transceivers to me.

I used a cheap GPS chip.

It must have overloaded.

How can we find that tiny button in such a big area?

The GPS may be off, but the recording function should be fine.

What if it turned off too?

It would've recorded everything until then.

Back in the day, we used to smack appliances to fix them.

And if that didn't work, we just restarted it.

But everything is digital now...

- That's it! - What?

Hey!

We just have to restart it!

What? Did I just solve everything?

If it's still recording, it means the device is fine.

All we need to do is reset the GPS signal, then.

Who are you talking to? You're scaring me.

Hey, I know how we can find the camera.

Follow me.

You thought of a way?

- What is it? - Just follow me.

- Is it something quick? - Yeah.

I wonder what it filmed.

Perhaps their hideout or the person behind it all?

It'll be game over if we stream this.

Aren't you scared?

Of course I am.

But if I hide because I'm afraid,

they'll just keep doing it.

Right.

You said the GPS was turned off. How will you retrieve it?

I'm going to make a simple equipment and restart it.

Byeong-nam.

Are you going to send a signal to clear the tracker's error?

You really are smart, aren't you?

Get on it, then.

I'm on it.

There's another problem.

The industrial complex is quite big.

Then,

why don't we try using RC cars or drones?

We can set up the reset system on it and look for the button.

That'll definitely be faster than just us.

There are too many electric wires, so an RC car would work better.

But here's the thing.

A decent RC car would be quite expensive.

I have two at home.

I'll try to get one myself.

Let's work with three.

Then get some practice on your own,

and let's wrap up for today.

- That's a great idea. - Yeah!

- Let's go. - Good work, everyone.

All right.

Yes?

May I bring a laptop?

Since all signals seem to be completely blocked here.

Sure.

Thank you.

SAFE GAS STATION

We've got three RC car units on standby.

Once the target position is identified, we'll deploy an infiltration squad.

The remaining units will stay on standby and act as Rapid Response Units as needed.

Wow, look at you, Mr. Lee.

Roger that.

Yes, sir.

- Is that it? - Yes.

It's the laptop I mentioned.

Where should I put it, ma'am?

- Give it here. - Okay.

Su-jin, the report you just made...

It's a situational report.

Right,

I guess the situation hasn't been good lately.

So?

So... The situation...

I think it's great.

You're really good at making those reports.

I have good news and bad news.

I'll take the good news first.

We'll be providing equipment for this operation.

What's the bad news?

If you come dressed like that again,

I'll kill you.

Okay.

Why would you ask about the bad news?

I can't believe you.

Hello!

Hello.

I'm here to pick up some clothes.

I was wondering why you weren't coming.

You're here to pick up the jacket that Kang brought, right?

Yes, do you remember every piece of clothing you get?

Of course, I've had this job for decades.

All right.

That'll be 10,000 won.

Do-yeon, you get prettier every time I see you.

Thank you.

- Here. - Thanks.

Are you done unpacking all the boxes now?

Kang said that there were so many that some hadn't even been opened.

He told you that?

I also know how scary you are.

Me?

Why would he say something so unnecessary?

I also heard many of those boxes were Do-yeon's stuff.

That's the case for every family with kids.

Oh, right.

If Do-yeon has any clothes she's outgrown

or toys she no longer plays with,

sell them at the Changri Market.

Changri Market?

Oh, you don't know about it yet.

It's run by the Women's Association.

You can trade items and share some snacks.

It's a good way to get to know your neighbors too.

- And Do-yeon would make some friends. - Yes.

- Thank you. - Okay, goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Okay, bye.

CHANGRI MARKET

Oh, it's Mr. Kim.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

Hi, Do-yeon!

- Hi. - Do-yeon.

Hello.

Since I'm close with Kang, may I call you by your name?

Oh, you're the owner, right?

Yes, I'm the owner,

and my wife is the boss.

You must be making kimchi stew with curry powder.

How did you know?

Kang wouldn't stop bragging about it.

He said you had a secret recipe.

He really shares everything, huh?

We just talk about life, you know.

- Take your time. - Okay.

- Ask Mommy to get you some snacks. - Okay.

Let's go.

- Hi, Do-yeon. - Hi, Min-seo.

There we go.

What are you doing tomorrow?

If you're not busy, I'd love to invite you to this.

Oh, the Changri Market?

The laundry place owner told me about it.

As expected from the head of our neighborhood.

Come with Do-yeon if you're not busy.

Will Min-seo be there too?

She'll probably come by after her tutoring session.

The pancakes there are the best.

- Pancakes? - Yes.

Mom, I want to go.

Let's go!

- Should we? - Yes!

Yes, pancakes!

- Pancakes! - Pancakes!

CHANGRI MARKET

When did you become friends with the daughter of the grocery store?

You're so popular.

I'm friends with everyone.

Dad and Master Lee are also super close.

They're always whispering to each other.

That's so funny.

I know.

He's so talkative.

We're almost home.

It's the car from the laundry place.

Let's go up.

Okay.

Why did you call me?

Welcome, secret agent.

How does it look?

What's that?

It's 350g in weight and 32cm in length.

Since it's the standard size for Special Forces worldwide,

it should be good.

When this is out, use it as a tactical baton.

And when it's folded...

You've watched that movie, right?

"What are you saying?"

Use it as a hatchet or a hammer and just strike!

It'll knock out anyone's teeth in seconds.

Here.

This is awesome.

Right?

It's useful for both short and long distance combats.

Hold on.

Is this...

Is this also a taser?

Don't be ridiculous.

I just took out the magic wand sounds.

As for how it looks...

Yes?

- it's a pass. - Yes!

Right on!

What about the GPS transmitter?

Don't worry about that.

You attached GPS transmitters to these?

That's right.

I went to the industrial complex for a scan--

You're so well-prepared!

And several offices were closed for the weekend.

Well, everyone works five days a week.

Many factories were empty.

No surprise there. The economy is bad.

Stop yapping and listen.

Okay.

Let's get everything done tomorrow.

Are we going in immediately once we find the location?

Should we go at night, then?

It'll be easier to operate the RC cars during the day.

I can't go anywhere during the day because of Changri Market tomorrow.

The recon team can go during the day,

and the entry team can go at night.

That should be fine, then.

Mr. Choi, you can go in first.

I'll support you from the back.

Okay.

How do we work these transmitters?

It's simple.

Turn it on before you drive it,

and the GPS tracker will receive the signal and reset.

Then I'll see its location on my phone again.

I'll go in to retrieve it.

- And Ms. Jung will back me up. - Okay.

We can communicate with you from here with these.

- How? - It's connected to the bunker computer.

This is a wiretap device.

That's awesome.

- Let's try them. - Okay.

Thank you.

We can expedite it by assigning it as a special disaster zone.

There would be a good reason, so we can provide some solid support

through government aid or tax benefits.

That's an option,

but there needs to be an actual disaster.

Terrorism is a disaster to our society.

It threatens national security and social order.

My local residents are going crazy with paranoia.

Cut them some slack.

It's about the scale of the damage.

The damage isn't big enough to count as a disaster.

I trust your son is doing well and not causing any trouble.

Of course, he's very well.

I forgot to bring him to thank you.

Thank me?

There's no need for that.

Please just back me up on the disaster zone.

Your son really is unlucky.

He just had to hit Sullivan's daughter, of all people.

It's hard for us too, you know.

Sullivan's about to pull out after the final verdict.

It's been absolute chaos.

I'm out now.

Bring the car.

Are you...

Honey?

Are we moving again?

These are for Changri Market tomorrow.

Oh, Changri Market.

The Women's Association is hosting it. I hear it's a lot of fun.

Yeah, I heard.

Let's go tomorrow.

It's been a while since we've eaten out.

I have plans tomorrow evening.

You're going out with the youth president on a weekend?

No, that's not it--

Okay, then.

Introduce me to the people you're close to tomorrow.

The neighborhood leaders seem great.

They adore Do-yeon too.

I'd like to get to know them as well.

I'm not meeting the youth president tomorrow--

Cancel whatever it is.

I'm not saying it again.

Okay.

Leave it.

Just go and get changed.

Get in.

Wow, this is a new car.

It's my backup car.

Man, this is sick.

- Let's go. - All right.

Yes.

Let's see. Here.

- I'll park the car and join you. - Okay.

Let's go.

- See you soon. - Okay.

BUY, SELL, AND SHARE AT CHANGRI MARKET

Don't run, Do-yeon.

Okay!

Hi, Ms. Hwang.

- Hello. - Hello.

Where should I put the donation items?

Could you take it for her?

Come and have some dried persimmons first.

They're amazing.

Let's have a taste.

Here. Have some.

- They look so good. - They look great.

It's so good.

- Do you like it? - I love it.

It's amazing.

Oh, they're from Sangju.

Sangju has the best dried persimmons.

I'm originally from Sangju.

- Really? - Yeah.

You must've had a lot of these, Ms. Hwang.

Please call me Mi-gyeong.

Should I, Mi-gyeong?

- Here's your coffee. - Thank you.

- Try it. It's so good. - Is it?

It's amazing.

By the way, who's the youth association president?

My husband always talks about him, so I wanted to say hi.

Oh, the youth association president?

I guess he's gone somewhere.

I don't see him.

Where did he go?

Then how about the manager from Yongmu Gym?

Oh, my.

Come to think of it, he's not here, either.

You're right.

Where did they all go?

Have some more.

- Isn't it good? - Yeah.

- They're amazing. - For sure.

- They're so good. - Have some more.

Hold up.

Hey.

How are things looking there?

It's the perfect weather for a drive.

Don't worry about us. You just sit tight.

See you later.

Did you practice a lot?

Yeah, I practiced all night.

Shall we begin?

Yeah.

We can't go too fast.

The signals take some time to transmit.

How fast should we go, then?

At an adequate speed?

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

Man! It's not working.

What are you doing?

- Just run with it, then! - Oh, come on!

You lied about practicing, didn't you?

Let's see.

Hey!

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Oh, no. It's completely ruined.

The transmitter.

Okay.

What the...

Is it here?

Found it.

I found it, Byeong-nam.

You found it?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Put the wiretap device on it.

Okay.

Where are you?

Excuse me!

Me?

What are you doing with my RC car?

Oh, is this yours?

What are you doing here?

What else? Practicing my driving skills.

This is the best place to practice on weekends.

Take it somewhere else.

Hey! Retreat!

Nice one, Byeong-nam.

- Yong-hui. - Yeah?

- Take this. - Why?

- You two go ahead. - What about you?

I'll stay here until the entry team comes.

- I'll be back soon. - Okay, see you.

Wait here, okay?

Okay.

It's so good.

They found the button.

Yes, I heard.

My husband will clean up for me, so let's get going soon.

I'll be a bit late.

What would you like? This?

- Your wife? - Yeah.

Okay, drive there on your own if you need to.

You'll be blocked if you fail more than twice.

Come on, Su-jin. I served in the 900th Unit.

- Amazing. - It's nothing.

Okay.

Okay.

You see that there? It's on.

The soccer match is today, right?

Yes, it's at 8 p.m.

It's going to be an exciting match.

Order some beer and snacks for later.

Yes, sir.

Nice. We can hear them loud and clear.

Can you hear me?

Yes, I can.

When is the entry team coming?

I just arrived at the market.

Yes, I'll head on over with them.

- See you. - Okay.

See you later.

We're almost there. See you at the entrance.

- Byeong-nam. - Hey.

Where's Kang?

He'll be a bit late.

They're having beer while watching soccer.

Should we wait until they pass out?

No, we have to go in.

So what's the plan?

You have to have fried chicken for soccer.

SEONBONG TRADING

Delivery!

Your delivery, sir.

Here you go.

Oh, a credit card.

You didn't bring your card reader?

I did, but...

Sorry, please hold on.

I'll just wire the money.

Oh, will you?

Thank you. Here you go.

- Nine, zero... - Nine, zero...

No, nine, one.

- I mean... - Nine...

- Two. - Yes, then eight.

Byeong-nam, the real delivery guy is here!

- The real delivery guy! - What? Delivery?

- Delivery? - Delivery!

Here's your pig's trotters.

Hey!

Give me your card reader.

Who are you?

The card reader.

Give it to me.

All right. I'll take your card.

Hold on.

It's fried chicken.

- I ordered pig's trotters. - What?

It's a buy-one, get-one-free deal.

If you order pig's trotters, you get fried chicken for free.

Please enjoy!

I'm back.

So this is...

Hold on.

Hey.

- The RC car guy, right? - What?

What? What do you mean?

- Take it off. - Wait.

- Take it off! - No!

Sir, please!

This is bullshit.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Shut up and come at me.

Damn it!

Honey.

- Kang? - Yeah?

What's up?

What should we have for dinner?

Anything's fine with me.

Are you that worried?

Huh?

- Hey, come here. - What?

- I said, come here. - What? No.

- Sir... - Come here.

- Come over here! - Hold on.

The hell are you doing, you bastard?

Hey, put that down.

Put that down!

- Put it down. - Put it down.

You think you can get me that easily?

- Bring it on! - Bring it on!

You heard him, right?

There's an emergency!

Are you okay, Byeong-nam?

Jeong-hwan!

Byeong-nam and Nam-yeon won't answer!

You have to go in and help!

Me?

Okay, I'm on it right now.

Bring it on, you bastards!

Jeong-hwan!

Byeong-nam! Are you okay?

Why did you come?

Ms. Jung!

Hey, are you okay?

Don't mess with a former artilleryman!

- Oh, no. - That kid.

Jeong-hwan, what's going on?

Byeong-nam! Nam-yeon!

Please answer me! Anyone?

Come on!

You're one strong lady, huh?

The hell are you looking at?

Please stop hurting us.

Answer me when I'm asking nicely, then.

What are you guys?

You can't hit us then expect us to answer.

Why don't I hit you nicely, then?

Hey, just get rid of them.

- Get rid of us? - Get rid of them.

- What? - Let's go.

No, wait.

- Get off me. - Let's go.

Mr. Choi!

- Kang! - Kang!

Sorry, I took too long.

Oh, goodness.

We're safe now.

You didn't take long at all.

Sorry.

What are you doing?

Get him.

You're dead.

Oh, my.

Are you okay?

Are you okay, Ms. Jung?

Yes, I'm fine.

Is everyone okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

Took you long enough to check on us.

Nam-yeon, the GPS tracker is located by the entrance.

Is there a room there?

Oh, gosh.

My legs are killing me.

What the...

It's a button?

I got it.

Yes!

All right!

What took you so long?

It's a long story.

What did you tell your wife to come here?

I didn't say anything.

She told me...

to save everyone.

Go.

Whatever it is, I guess they need you.

Can I really go?

Just don't get hurt.

And don't come home too late.

Do-yeon won't go to bed until you're home.

Okay.

What happened?

I have no idea.

They didn't steal anything from us.

You moron!

Are you saying they just came to mess with us?

You need to come and see this.

What is it now?

Look at this.

Who are those guys?

What are all these?

What are these?

It was dark,

and they all looked the same.

This was the best way.

My goodness.

I'm not surprised.

How will we find it?

Man, this is...

You got all their buttons.

This is it.

Here.

Check it.

Didn't I tell you to get rid of Kim In-seop?

You plan to keep up with this shit job?

I told you to leave no trace

of anyone and anything related to the bombs.

What should I do with you?

Is he the mastermind behind it?

Seeing how he's talking about bombs, it seems to be him.

Apologies, sir. I'll take care of it.

Take care of what? Huh?

Oh, that's...

What is it?

Do you know him?

Who is it?

Who is he?

Kim Seok-jun.

The Minister of National Defense.

HEROES NEXT DOOR

Where's Dad, by the way?

He's meeting a friend.

A friend?

This late?

It's Mr. Ice Cream.

Did you really not know the Minister took Producer Kim?

Did you approach me on purpose, knowing everything?

You think the Minister of National Defense

would sneak away some bombs for pocket money?

Why do these bastards keep messing around in our neighborhood?
