Hey, Bulgae.

Now make your choice.

You can either fight against us

or join us and fight against them.

I never imagined this would happen.

Beom-ryong's strength.

Mr. Jeong's skills.

And

Bulgae's...

brains?

Anyway, with a lineup like that,
there's no way we can lose.

With those three

we can take on anyone and win.

Out of breath?

Getting winded over something like this?

I guess your skills
have gotten pretty rusty.

You played dirty, throwing dirt.
You darn rascal.

Anyway, I finished first.

Hey, you lie every time
you open your mouth.

- I was the fastest!
- What are you talking about?

I finished first
and was waiting, you punk.

What?

Jeez.

Hey, Gong-bok. You saw everything.
Who took them down the fastest?

Who?

What are you even doing over there?

Or maybe not?

Did I see it wrong?

You guys look like a bunch of mercenaries.

Who hired you?

As if I'm going to tell you.

Darn it.

Wait a minute. Don't move!

I think this is him.

VIP CUSTOMER: HEAVEN CASINO

Did you secure the package?

Why aren't you answering?
The chairman is waiting.

The chairman, you say.

Who are you?

If you went to the trouble
of hiring mercenaries

you should at least recognize my voice.

If it's the chairman of Heaven Casino,
that's Chairman Do Hyeon-tae, right?

- Who is this?
- Give Chairman Do this message.

That his turn is next

so he shouldn't do anything stupid
and just wait for his turn.

KIM DAE-HO

Weren't they supposed to be the best?

- We'll find someone else.
- No!

Are you crazy? Didn't you just hear that?

He said to give me the message.

He said to give the message
to Chairman Do Hyeon-tae of Heaven Hotel.

They know exactly who I am,
and you want to hire someone else?

Who knows what those scumbags will do?

What if they tell Han Gyeong-wook
that Do Hyeon-tae is after the package?

How are you going to fix it then?

- I'm sorry.
- Darn it.

Erase every trace of our conversations.

I've never heard of or seen this hitman
or whatever he is. Understand?

Yes, I understand.

Chairman Do!

Chairman Do!

What in the world is going on?

I mean, Hwang Hwa-san
is the new head of Heaven Capital?

Has that old man
already shown up for work?

What...

You knew?

How could this happen
the moment I had my nameplate made?

Listen, you're not just

going to stand by
and let this happen, are you?

Hey.

You think you're really a president
just because I call you one?

- What?
- Mr. Geum.

Your nameplate isn't what's at stake here.

One wrong move and we're all dead.

Get it?

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

If you want to live

everything we've talked about
and everything we've done up until now...

Forget it all.

Just go back to being a lackey

and be sure to lay low. Okay?

But, Chairman, I...

What...

Is this it?

That's right.

Found it.

Is this the package we were looking for?

I'll have to check and see.

Check the package on your own.
As for the torso...

Give the torso to me.

I already told you.

I'll give it to you when the job's done.

Hey, let's go. We're out of time.

We have to finish off Han Gyeong-wook.

Let's go.

Once we open this,
there's no turning back.

If anyone wants to back out, speak now.

No hard feelings.

There you go again,
trying to act all tough.

We're not backing out
after all that we've been through.

Isn't this our chance
to finish them all off?

- I'm prepared.
- Let those punks come at us.

We're running out of time.
Stop wasting it and open it.

Huh?

- It's locked.
- What did you think, you idiot?

Well, unlock it then.

Look, you clearly don't know
what you're talking about

but if the file is encrypted,
it's hard to open.

You can't open it with a setup this fancy?

- Gosh, you're something else. Right?
- What do you mean he can't open it?

Believe it or not,
our Gong-bok here is self-taught

and has even hacked police CCTV feeds.

Just wait a bit.
He can crack this in no time.

Wait for what?

I'll say this one more time.

If you're trying to pull a fast one on me,
I won't let it slide.

What the... You...

Takes one to know one, right?
You think we're like you?

- What about me?
- Are you asking because you don't know?

You drugged the soup and stole my car!

Was I in the wrong,
or were you just stupid?

What? Stupid? Are you done talking?

Hey, Ho-myeong.
Look at this shameless brat.

How can we trust a scumbag like this
and keep working with him?

Are you seriously barking right now?

Hey, quiet down, will you?

Gosh, you're so annoying.

Hey, we shouldn't be
fighting amongst ourselves!

Are you trying to get us all killed?

He just keeps barking!

Hey, Ma Gong-bok.
Can you crack this or not?

I'll have to see,
but it'll probably take some time.

Darn it. Something's not right.

This file being encrypted means

that our location could be exposed
when we access it.

Exposed? To whom?

It's too dangerous here.

Pack up all this equipment.
Let's go somewhere safe.

STORAGE-001
LOCATION ACQUIRED

Comrade Major!

We've picked up a signal from Storage 001.

A signal?

Where?

Yeongseon Island in South Korea.

Yeongseon Island...

Looks like it's time
for a little trip down south.

Hello to our viewers.
Welcome to Issue Prime.

Today, we're joined
by candidate Han Gyeong-wook

who holds a commanding lead in the polls

in the election for mayor of Imcheon.

- Welcome, Candidate Han.
- Yes, hello.

I am Han Gyeong-wook,
candidate for mayor of Imcheon.

Yes, your recent rise in the polls
has been quite remarkable.

Some are even calling it a one-man race.

However, some analysts suggest

that if candidate Kim Seon-jung
hadn't withdrawn

the current situation
wouldn't have been so easy to achieve.

What are your thoughts on that?

Well, I respect Candidate Kim's decision.

However...

I believe my poll numbers
aren't due to the absence of an opponent

but are a result of
the public's expectations for my platform.

Speaking of your platform

I assume you're referring to the pledge
you made for this election

which is the development
of the Yeongseon Island tourism complex.

I'm curious about the reasoning
behind that proposal.

The goal of the Yeongseon Island
development

isn't to create some flashy tourist trap.

It's about jump-starting
Imcheon's stagnant economy

to improve the lives
of the Imcheon citizens.

Higher incomes and job creation
for the Imcheon citizens.

Those two things
are the core of my platform.

But there's criticism that's been raised

that this development
will lead to the ousting of residents.

Do you have a plan to address this issue?

As I've said

the most important thing
is the lives of our citizens.

I would be the first
to oppose any development

that displaces our citizens.

I will ensure that

the profits go directly
back to the citizens of Yeongseon Island

by putting
institutional measures in place.

In four days, Candidate Han Gyeong-wook
will be on Yeongseon Island...

That's our Assemblyman Han.
You're quite the smooth talker.

You flatter me.

Well, your election is in the bag.

So, the project. How's that coming along?

It's proceeding smoothly.

Once the election polls turned in my favor

the Mayor of Imcheon changed his tune.

I recently got the approval
for the management and disposal plan

which he had been stalling on.

The remaining procedures
are basically just a formality.

Most of the land
within the redevelopment zone

has already been secured
by Heaven Capital.

As for the residents holding out,
once demolition really begins

they'll have no choice but to give in.

It might not be that easy,
even with bulldozers.

There are always cockroaches like that
wherever you go.

You can try to get rid of them
over and over

but they just keep crawling back out.

Once I'm elected mayor,
the investors will move in right away.

We have no time to delay.

Whether we spray them with pesticide
or stomp them out

they need to be exterminated quickly.

We'll start clearing out Zone A.

Once I win this election

things will automatically pick up speed
in Zones B and C as well.

Gosh, that's our Assemblyman Han.
Always so decisive, right?

All right, just get through this election
without a hitch.

After that, I'll make sure
to roll out the red carpet for you.

Thank you.

Assemblyman Han, one moment.

Is it urgent?

Yes.

Go on and take care of it.

I'll just relax here
and have some tea. Okay?

- Then please excuse me for a moment.
- Yes, of course.

What is it?

We got a call from Ri Chol Jin.

What?

He says they detected a signal
trying to decrypt the package

from Yeongseon Island.

Jeong Ho-myeong.

So it wasn't a bluff?

- And Ri Chol Jin?
- He's on his way down now.

Good.

Contact our guys on Yeongseon Island.

Tell all of them

to gather here tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Jeez, what kind of place is this?

Gosh, this is crazy.

You said this place was safe.
It's just a completely run-down resort.

Aren't you supposed to be
South Korea's best agent?

Shouldn't you have secured
a bomb shelter or something?

Who has bomb shelters these days?

This place is great.
Spacious and comfortable.

There's a bathroom inside
and a place to sleep upstairs.

The water's not working in the bathroom.
So what good is it?

- The lights work, though.
- You're good at that kind of stuff.

Go get the water running.

Aren't you a good cook too? I'm hungry.

All right, let's move.

Are you trying to start a fight?

Darn it. This is nuts.

You don't inspire much confidence.

I have no confidence in you.
Are you sure you can crack this?

This encryption program was made
by the best minds in The Republic.

Can some punk gangster really crack it?

Darn it. There he goes again.

Have a little faith.

He's the most capable gangster I know.

Mr. Jeong!

A capable gangster?

What's that supposed to mean?
That's a new one for me.

If a guy is so capable,
why is he a gangster?

Hey, you think the Hwasan Sect
is some third-rate gang?

Then again, a spy like you
wouldn't know that, would you?

There's no way you'd know about
noble values like chivalry and loyalty.

I'm not a spy.

I'm a special agent from
the Ministry of People's Armed Forces.

I'm on a completely different level
from you lowlifes.

But...

there's something I'm curious about.

Do you guys really want to go back
to your old lives that badly?

Ma Gong-bok,

you seem to have taught yourself
a lot about that program.

Won't all that skill go to waste?

And Gang Beom-ryong.

You even got
the Friendly Convenience Store Award.

You must have had some affection
for the store, right?

Why would it be a waste?
It's all for the Hwasan Sect anyway.

Once Hwasan Sect, always Hwasan Sect.
Isn't that right, Boss?

Yes, that's right.

And once you grab the diamonds

you're just going to leave?

The people you know on Yeongseon Island

and your nephew.

You don't mind never seeing them again?

This is my last chance to fix the life
that was ruined ten years ago.

You think I'd let some useless emotion
hold me back now?

So you're just going to leave
without saying goodbye?

If I drag things out with goodbyes
and get found out

the Party will know I'm alive.

You think they'll just leave me be?

I'm Bulgae, a legend in the Republic's
Ministry of People's Armed Forces.

Exceptional at martial arts,
a brilliant mind

and perfect infiltration skills.

You think they'd let
a talent like me go so easily?

Gosh, I'm so sick of his bragging.

But, Mr. Jeong, why do you ask?

Once you clear your name,
you'll go back to the NIS, won't you?

I can't go back.

It's true I started all this
to get revenge on Han Gyeong-wook

and reclaim my position
from ten years ago.

Back then, that was
the most important thing to me.

But I've had a realization recently.

That protecting this Yeongseon Island

where my family
and Oran Chinese Restaurant are

is what's more important.

Don't you feel like you're throwing away
ten years of suffering?

Things are different now
than they were ten years ago.

Now I have things to protect.

An agent is going to be swayed
by petty emotions?

Yes, maybe I am
being swayed by my emotions.

But it's not as bad as you might think.

You all should think carefully too.

If going back to your old lives
is what you really want.

JEONGSEOK BOARDING HOUSE

I will ensure that

the profits go directly
back to the citizens of Yeongseon Island

by putting
institutional measures in place.

In four days, Candidate Han Gyeong-wook

will be on Yeongseon Island

wrapping up his official campaign
with a large-scale rally.

It looks like Han Gyeong-wook
is going to become mayor, right?

I know, right?

Just look at what a smooth talker he is.

Anyone can see
he looks like the only person

who can develop Yeongseon Island.

But is it true that he and Ho-myeong
are mortal enemies?

That's what he said.

Then if he becomes mayor,
what's going to happen to our restaurant?

He wouldn't just leave a restaurant
run by his enemy alone, would he?

We'll have to figure something out.

This is so frustrating.

I thought we'd be back
at the restaurant in no time.

Have you heard anything from Ho-myeong
about how things are going?

I haven't contacted him on purpose.
I was afraid he'd worry.

Hey! O-ran!

We're in big trouble.

- What?
- What is it?

That...

NOTICE OF EVICTION AND RELOCATION

We all know you've been trying hard.

But according to the news

Han Gyeong-wook
is the top candidate for mayor.

If he becomes mayor
and pushes through with his pledges

all our homes will be torn down and
this development will be forced through.

Come on, a protest?

- You think that's going to stop it?
- Then...

should we just sit back
and do nothing then?

After everything they put us through.

People who were tricked
by the free invitations from the casino

business owners who were deceived
by offers of low-interest loans

and people who were threatened
and blackmailed into selling their homes.

We were all unjustly targeted
by Heaven Capital.

We can't let them develop this area.

We have to at least try to tell
the person who's going to be mayor.

But he hasn't been elected yet

so let's just wait a little longer.

No, this isn't a situation
where we can just relax and wait.

I rode my motorcycle all around
the neighborhood the other day.

There are so many empty houses and shops.

Seriously, the number has skyrocketed.

Now that you mention it

I saw it too the other day
when I was passing by.

Around your restaurant

- the shopping area was deserted.
- What?

Around our restaurant too?

Darn it!

This development, or whatever it is...

Are they trying to
kick all of us residents out?

That's why we need to protest.
We have to make our intentions clear.

Hey, trying to stop them
isn't going to solve anything.

But what about your husband?
Still no word?

You said he was looking for a way
to catch those guys.

You were likely briefed
before you arrived.

At this busy time,
with the Yeongseon Island Project underway

there's a reason I've gone
out of my way to gather you all.

It's to finally tie up the loose ends
from ten years ago.

If they already tried to open the file

is there any point in getting it back now?

The transmission is encrypted.

The package isn't easy to open.

We still have
plenty of time to retrieve it.

These are the ones who took the package.

You might recognize some of these faces.

Chairman Hwang Hwa-san
and Major Ri Chol Jin.

You know them better than anyone

so I'm counting on the two of you.

Yes, understood.

I'll get on it right away.

We'll deploy the most elite agents from
the Ministry of People's Armed Forces.

The job shouldn't be too difficult.

- As for Chairman Do...
- Yes?

You probably don't know much about them

so let's have you
on rear support this time.

No, sir.

Actually, I've heard
quite a bit of information

here and there to just be on support.

By chance, of course.

So what I'm saying is,
I think it would be for the best

if I were to help out on the front lines.

Chairman Do.

Still can't shake off
your old gutter habits?

What?

You can't tell
what you should and shouldn't eat.

What did you gobble up this time?

I'm sure I made myself clear before.

Stay out of it and wait.

Oh, yes. You did say that.

I was just trying to be helpful,
Deputy Director Han.

I'm sorry. I'll keep that in mind.

All of you, remember this.

If this goes wrong

we're all dead.

If everyone just does their part properly

we won't fail like we did ten years ago.

This time, be sure
to retrieve the package.

And as for the scumbags
involved in this...

Get rid of them all.

Did something bad happen in there, sir?

Mr. Nam, you know what?

We're about to be left high and dry.

What?

I mean, Deputy Director Han.

He's dying to cut me out of this business.

Shit!

He even brought up my past
just to humiliate me.

Do you think he's noticed our moves?

No, I don't think so.

If he knew,
he's not the type to stay quiet.

It's just that
he's gotten all he can out of me

and he has a spare
named Hwang Hwa-san ready

so he's trying to get rid of me now.

And that Hwang Hwa-san,
that sly fox has some gall.

How could he even think of joining forces
with the man who sent him to prison?

If it were me, I would never...

What is it?

If it were me?

No.

If it were you

do you think it would be possible
to have a real friendship

with the man who made you
rot in prison for ten years?

- I doubt it would be.
- Right?

Sure, he might have overlooked it
for the money

but every now and then,
he'd feel a surge of anger.

Out of revenge.

Sir, if you're heading to Yeongseon Island

why don't you ride with me?

- It's fine.
- Oh, please. I insist.

There's just something specific
I'd like to talk to you about.

Okay? Please just ride with me this once.

Tail those two.

Where they're going
and what they're saying.

Find out everything and report back to me.

Yes, sir.

Comrade Major,
we found Bulgae's residence.

You did?

That reactionary scumbag
who betrayed the Republic.

I'm curious what luxuries he was enjoying.

A ride in a nice car
and an extravagant meal on top of it.

What you want to talk about
must be pretty serious.

Well...

It could be difficult,
or it could be simple.

I just thought,
as coworkers in the same boat

we could discuss
the nature of our business.

- That's why I invited you here.
- I see.

The nature of our business, you say.

You received the same offer,
didn't you, sir?

That they'd give you a share
if you joined the Yeongseon project.

Look, I'm a little hesitant to say this
because I'm worried it'll come out wrong.

"Giving us the share"
is a nice way of putting it.

In reality, the core of it

is a setup where
Han Gyeong-wook takes everything.

I mean, in the end,
we're the ones doing all the dirty work

and Deputy Director Han is the one
who monopolizes all the profit.

So, this is what I'm trying to say. I...

And I thought this was going to be
something else.

You have a real knack for making
simple things sound complicated.

Pardon?

So you're saying
we should cut out Deputy Director Han

and take over this project,
isn't that right?

Impressive.

Chairman, your reaction is so enthusiastic

that I'm a little taken aback.

It's a golden opportunity
to take over the business

and get my revenge.

So, what's the point
of beating around the bush?

So, what do you need me to do?

Hey, Ho-myeong.

Hey, we've got a big problem over here.

I think the victims of Heaven Capital
are about to rise up.

Rise up about what?

I heard Han Gyeong-wook's election
is a sure thing.

They're saying if he pushes ahead
with his campaign pledges

they're all going to be driven out,
so things are really tense right now.

In three days, on the day Han comes
to Yeongseon Island for a campaign rally

everyone is dead set on holding a protest.

You know well that Han Gyeong-wook
and those Capital guys are in it together.

You think they're just
going to let that happen?

I know. But how are the residents
supposed to believe

that Han Gyeong-wook
and those thugs are in cahoots

when there's no proof?

They all feel their homes and stores
were unfairly taken

and that the development has to stop

so they just want to make
their voices heard.

Got it.

Don't worry too much

and just make sure
you don't get involved. All right?

- I'll call you back.
- Wait, Ho-myeong.

Yes?

Lately, Ji-woo...

When he wakes up from his sleep

he cries and asks for you.

He does?

I think it's because
his dad suddenly isn't around

and his environment has changed.

He seems anxious.

It's been a long time
since Ji-woo has seen you.

Okay. Please tell Ji-woo
that Daddy will definitely come see him.

Okay.

How is it going?

I'm running it with the program
I got from the dark web

but honestly,
I have no idea how long it'll take.

It's almost done.

It's 2%.

Hey, it's running right now.
Just wait a bit.

We don't have time.
If you don't think it'll work, say so now.

- So we can find another way.
- What is it? Why the sudden rush?

In three days, at Han Gyeong-wook's
campaign rally on Yeongseon Island

the victims of Heaven Capital
are going to hold a protest.

A protest?

Then Nam-il will...

Well, probably. He lost his house too.

If that protest happens,
Han Gyeong-wook won't just stand by.

He'll try to stop it somehow,
even if he has to involve the Capital.

Wait a minute. Then we shouldn't be
sitting around like this.

Right. That's the first smart thing
you've said.

How long are we going to be stuck on this

when we don't even know
when it'll be cracked?

Wouldn't it be better to just go now
and smash the Heaven Capital guys?

- Let's go.
- Let's think this through.

Damn it.

All you do is think.

How about putting that on silent
at crucial moments?

I was expecting a call
from the convenience store headquarters

and it slipped my mind.

That ringtone... Darn.

Beom-ryong, I'm out of prison.

Let's meet now.

What is it?

What did they say at headquarters?

Hey, don't touch it.

Gosh, seriously...

It's Chairman Hwang.

What?

He got out of prison.

Hwang Hwa-san is out, now of all times?

Boss!

The distribution business
you guys were running

was a convenience store?

I'm sorry for not telling you.

You've all been through a lot.

From now on, only good things

are in store for you.

What?

So are you saying
you're the new head of Heaven Capital?

Yes. To make Deputy Director Han
let his guard down

I had to accept the position.

But still, how could you work
under Deputy Director Han?

I'm not the only one
who's done something drastic.

You teamed up with that punk from the NIS,
your sworn enemy, to get revenge.

You're no different, are you?

You knew everything?

Listen.

I can read you guys like a book.

Beom-ryong, you.

I knew something was wrong
from the look on your face

when you came to visit.

To get revenge on Han Gyeong-wook
and rebuild the Hwasan Sect

I'm also willing to do whatever it takes.

Boss.

Han Gyeong-wook
has completely let his guard down.

Whether we seize this opportunity or not

is up to you two.

Yes, just tell us what to do.

The package that disappeared
ten years ago.

You two have it, right?

Bring me that package.

They'll discuss it
and then bring the package?

As soon as they're done
talking with the NIS agent

they promised to contact me.

Okay.

But...

Doesn't it feel a little off to you?

What do you mean?

I've been burned by him before, so I know.
That NIS agent is no joke.

He might have already caught on

that we're trying
to intercept the package.

Ah, by any chance...

Your guys aren't going to flip
and side with him, are they?

You don't have to worry.

Beom-ryong and Gong-bok

will soon be in touch.

Okay.

Well, that's a relief then.

So, you want us to join forces
with your boss?

Yes.

It's hard to believe, I know.

But our boss has been waiting
for a chance to get revenge

right under Han Gyeong-wook's nose.

If we just bring him the package,
everything will fall right into place.

- And you think that makes sense?
- Why doesn't it make sense?

Don't we and the boss have the same goal?
To get revenge on Han Gyeong-wook.

But how can we trust that your boss
will actually go through with the revenge?

He rotted in prison for ten years.
Of course he wants revenge.

Isn't that right, Beom-ryong?

At least this guy's
got his head on straight.

Yes, that's right.

The boss is not the type
to take something lying down.

Right?

Well, not exactly.

The moment he teamed up
with Han Gyeong-wook to get out

he was thinking more about
the bottom line than revenge.

Okay, let's just say
that he really is out for revenge.

But has Hwang Hwa-san said

what he's going to do
with the Yeongseon Island project

after getting his revenge?

If he pushes ahead
with the Yeongseon Island project

as the CEO of Heaven Capital

then what's the difference between
Hwang Hwa-san and Han Gyeong-wook?

Or Han Gyeong-wook and Hwang Hwa-san?

How dare you compare someone
like Han Gyeong-wook to our boss?

Our boss is...

Our boss is...

What about your boss?
Why did you trail off?

You know full well,
so stop pretending you don't.

Hwang Hwa-san is planning
to take this project for himself.

What do you think you know about our boss,
running your mouth off like that?

Mr. Jeong, you've got it all wrong.
Our boss isn't like that.

What if what Bulgae says is true?

Even so, are you still going to do
what Hwang Hwa-san says?

Right, to go back to the Hwasan Sect.

Sure, that's what you've wanted
for the past ten years.

But is it...

worth trampling over innocent people for?

What's the point of asking?
Thugs will be thugs.

When it's about them getting rich
and living easy

do you think they even care
what happens to other people?

You think I like doing this?

I've been family with the boss
for 30 years. But...

To just go up to the boss now and say,
"Hey! You're in the wrong!"

Do you think it's as easy as it sounds
to go against him like that?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to stab my boss
in the back after all this time?

Is that the only reason you're hesitating?

Is it really because
of your loyalty to your boss?

Or is it because you want to right a wrong
but you don't have the courage?

Gang Beom-ryong.

Didn't you want to start fresh?

You guys.

Go back to the convenience store.

If that's all the commitment you've got,
you won't accomplish anything anyway.

Go back to the convenience store.

And stay quiet there
until this whole thing is over.

Bulgae and I will finish this ourselves.

The two of us?

If that's really how you feel

- I'll step aside.
- Boss!

I'm sorry.

For being so indecisive.

What do you mean you're stepping aside?
Just because of what he said?

Boss!

Hey, Gang Beom-ryong!

Boss.

How can you just leave like this?

Please.

Are you going to betray
the chairman now? Is that it?

Seriously...

Then what am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry. I just...

I don't know what to do anymore either.

Boss. What makes you think I'd know?

Just tell me what to do.
I'll do whatever you say.

I'm sorry. Let's talk later.

Later when? When?

Boss!

A South Korean citizen, Bong Je-sun.

He did a good job
of hiding out and living here.

He's been peddling a false story
to everyone that he has amnesia.

He's been completely corrupted
by those South Korean puppet dramas.

And these South Korean fools
actually fell for that?

It seems having a family
helped him avoid suspicion.

A family?

Where's Bulgae now?

After he was hospitalized
for a car accident recently

his trail suddenly went cold.

So he's gone into hiding?

Yes.

What's your plan, sir?

If Bulgae is determined to stay hidden

even our agents
will have a hard time finding him.

Look at this punk smiling so brightly.
Doesn't suit him at all.

- Sir?
- Aren't you curious?

Just how far gone Bulgae is.

Let's make him
come crawling back to us on his own.

Have you just been sitting here
this whole time?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.
You're waiting for those thugs.

Did they really have to storm out

just because you said a few things
they didn't like?

It's not like you were wrong.

But seriously, are you going to be okay?

I mean, I'm fine.

This isn't the first mess I've been in
since my days as an agent

so I can just feel it.

- This whole situation is just...
- What about it?

Let's be honest.
Nothing about this is good.

We went through all that trouble
to find the package but can't open it.

And over there, with the protests and all,
things are just getting more tangled.

So what are you trying to say?

Before this whole thing gets any worse
and we're in too deep to get out

you should look after your family

and I'll take the diamonds.

We should each find a way
to save ourselves.

- What?
- What if those thugs

decide to side with the other guys?

What if they side with their boss
and come after us?

You think the two of us can handle that?

So you're saying we should give up
on Han Gyeong-wook and run away?

If Han Gyeong-wook gets elected

don't you know it's all over
for Yeongseon Island?

Fine, you're right.
If Han Gyeong-wook gets elected

and takes over Yeongseon Island,
this whole island is doomed.

But what if your family gets hurt
before that happens?

We have a slim chance
even if we all fight together.

And now it looks like
even those thugs are about to turn on us.

I'm just saying we need to
think about this rationally.

Whether this is actually possible or not.

HEO NAM-IL

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

This is so weird.

This has never happened before.

Doesn't something feel off to you?

I mean, we haven't heard from him
since he left with those men.

You don't think they got him in debt
and dragged him off somewhere, do you?

Honestly, the things you imagine.

Do you think Manager Bong
is anything like you, Nam-il?

Hey, I'm just saying it
because I'm worried.

Lately he's always been injured
whenever he comes back from somewhere.

And whose fault do you think that is?

He'll call when he calls.
Just help me make these protest signs.

I'm doing all the work here,
including your share!

- I'm getting a call.
- Pick up.

Uncle? What's up?

Is this Heo Nam-il's phone?

Yes, speaking. Who is this?

I'm from the gas company.

We got a report about a gas smell,
so I came to check

but no one's home.

What? A gas smell?

Yes.

It seems like
there's a gas leak in your house.

I think you need to come and check it out.

Okay, yes. I'm on my way.

- I have to step out for a minute.
- Where are you going?

Home. Apparently,
there's a gas leak at my house.

You're going home? At a time like this?

What if the gas explodes
and my house blows up?

What's the point of protesting
to get my house back then?

I'll be right back.

So could you please work
on my signs for me, okay?

- But...
- Make it a good one.

Hey, wait...

Seriously?

Fine, you're right.
If Han Gyeong-wook gets elected

and takes over Yeongseon Island

this whole island is doomed.

But what if your family gets hurt
before that happens?

Stop right there!

Oh, come on!

Dad!

Daddy will help you.

- Really?
- Yes.

But Daddy, have you done this before?

Of course. This is all I did
when I was a kid.

- Daddy.
- Yes?

That's not right.

- Why?
- Here.

You need to make it spacious here

so he has a place to live.

Why would Masked Racer live inside?

He should be outside,
guarding the house like this.

No.

He'll get bored
if he's outside all by himself.

But if he's in the house

he can play with Mommy,
Daddy, and Grandpa.

That's why he has to live in the house.

- Daddy.
- Yes?

When do I get to go home?

I want to go home now.
It's so boring here.

- Ji-woo.
- Yes?

As soon as I'm done with work

I'll take you straight home, Ji-woo.

Once we're home, we'll have fun

with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa
every single day.

- Really?
- Of course. I promise.

Just wait a little bit longer.

We'll have to build a big house. Right?

With Grandpa, Mom, and Dad here...
Mr. Kim is here too. Right?

We'll have to build it much bigger.

- Okay.
- Yes, like this...

Look! Masked Racer
is going to dive right in.

We're closed.

Oh, really?

I saw that the lights were on
as I was passing by.

So I thought you were open.

Do you need something?

Not really, but...

I was on my patrol
and I guess I'm getting a little hungry.

Do you have any lunch boxes left?

We're in the middle of closing,
so all we have are cup noodles.

That's fine.

About the convenience store...

Did you decide to close down?

Yes.

I had to for personal reasons.

Isn't it a shame?
After all your hard work.

I heard it's hard to be chosen
as a Friendly Convenience Store.

I just got lucky, that's all.

Do you really have to
close down the store?

I mean, you know

that there are over
ten convenience stores around here.

But me and the other officers on patrol,
we all only come here.

Your store is the friendliest.

Friendly.

That was just me forcing a smile,
afraid that my sales would drop.

I told you before, didn't I?
I used to be a thug.

You might not know this, Mi-kyung

but ten years ago, I was running around
doing all sorts of bad things.

Like "the Hwasan Sect's iron fist"
or their "Problem Solver."

When people hyped me up like that,
it all went to my head

and I did plenty of things
I shouldn't have.

You've got me all wrong.

I'm not a friendly guy like that.

Then what's your definition
of a friendly person?

Whatever it is, I'm not it.

That's how I've lived for so long.

You know...

When you work at a police station

there are always regulars who show up.

Whether for being drunk and disorderly
or for assault.

And those kinds of bad habits
are really hard to break.

But out of a hundred of those people

there's always that one person
who suddenly stops showing up.

From what I've seen of you so far

out of those hundred people

I think you're

that one person.

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Did you get the photo?

Comrade Major.

Our Bulgae,
taking in and raising a nephew.

I saw it with my own eyes,
and I still couldn't believe it.

Weren't you always the type
to just live for your own amusement?

Don't you dare touch
a single hair on Nam-il.

Don't get worked up.

I haven't done anything yet.

But you know full well, don't you?

That what happens next
depends entirely on you.

What do you want?

Do you want me to come back to the Party?

Well, that's a given.

You have the package, don't you?

Sneak it away from the guys you're with
and bring it to me.

All I have to do is hand over the package?

Right. If you hand over the package,
I won't lay a finger on your nephew.

But I can't give you a lot of time.

If you want your nephew to be safe

decide quickly.

Comrade Major, are you really going to
let that punk live?

Won't that cause problems for us later?

What are you talking about?

As soon as we get the package

we'll get rid of both
Bulgae and his nephew.

We're getting rid
of Comrade Bulgae as well?

He's someone who betrayed the Party once.

What makes you think
he wouldn't do it again?

He must be summarily executed
according to the laws of the Republic.

Comrade Major.

It's been ten years, hasn't it?

Is Nam-il okay?

Can't you tell by looking?

Man, it's been ten years
since we've seen each other

and you still have no manners
when it comes to your master.

Fine, whatever. No need to drag this out.

The package?

I kept my promise.

Now let my nephew go.

You've really changed.

Falling for such an obvious ploy.

You've changed too, Comrade Major.

No matter how bad things got,

you weren't someone
who'd stoop to telling such pathetic lies.

I have to make up for my mistake
from ten years ago, don't I?

The reactionary scumbag, Bulgae

will be summarily executed
according to the laws of the Republic.

Are you so sure that's the real package?

What?

What if...

I brought you a fake?

Why, you...

It seems that living in South Korea

has taught you a few tricks.

Weren't you the one
who was trying to trick me first?

All right then, let's do this.

My original plan
was to just kill you both.

But for now, I'll just keep you alive

and torture you
until you tell me where the package is.

Your footwork is still as fancy as ever.

But no matter how quick you are,
do you think you can take on all of us?

You...

Who said I came alone?

What are you doing?

Nam-il is captured by a man
named Comrade Major Ri Chol Jin.

He could be killed
if I don't bring the package.

So?

You're just going to
hand over the package?

Can't you tell it's a trap?

Will this Ri Chol Jin let you live?

Didn't you hear me?

I said Nam-il could be killed.

If I have to, I'll go by myself

lure them out with this package,
and rescue Nam-il.

Weren't you just saying
you'd forget your nephew and leave?

You said you were
going to look out for yourself.

That was...

Anyway...

I'm taking this package.

Geez. You think you can do that alone?

I'll go with you.

Let's secure both the package
and your nephew.

The two of us?

Ri Chol Jin is not some pushover.

He must have brought
the Republic's most elite agents.

So? Is there a problem?

What?

You said it yourself

that you're the top agent in
the Ministry of People's Armed Forces.

We have the best agents
from both the North and the South here.

There's nothing we can't do.

I heard you were
North Korea's elite agents

so I was a little nervous.

But you're nothing special.

What would you have done
if I hadn't shown up?

I told you I'd be fine alone.
Go rest some more.

So the sworn enemies are joining forces?

You think that's going to change anything?

Why? I think things are already changing.

Can't you see?

Should I tell you a bit
about what's going to happen next?

The spy punks who dared to set foot
on Yeongseon Island

will be brutally crushed.

After that, the pissed-off Han Gyeong-wook

will probably send other spies
or his underlings, right?

But do you think they can stop us?

It'll just mean
more casualties on your side.

Go tell Han Gyeong-wook

to get ready to pay for his crimes.

Nam-il, are you okay?

Tell him he doesn't need to
worry about me anymore.

So the great Bulgae's being swayed.

- I'm back.
- Boss!

I have to stop our boss
from taking the wrong path.

- What do we do first?
- We're going to catch Han Gyeong-wook.

I've already called for backup to help us.

Have you been well, Je-sun?

A difficult request?

- You should stop right now.
- Stop what?

Having feelings for me.

What do you think the success rate
of this operation is?

- About 50%?
- You think that's even possible?

If we use the package as bait,
it's totally possible.

- I'll see you there.
- Stop it, no matter what.

Do you understand me?

Hand over the package and back off.

And if I refuse?

Let's go back to that day ten years ago.

What happens if Prosecutor Gang
doesn't make it in time?

Gong-bok!

Hand over the package!

We're only halfway through life.

We'll have to fight
like our lives depend on it.
