[Episode 6]

Boss, that hasn't expired yet.

Oh, I see.

You're making mistakes you never used to make.

Did something happen regarding that CCTV yesterday?

Yesterday, I met Jeong Ho Myung.

J-Jeong Ho Myung? Ah, that guy...

But he knew not only me, but you too, Gong Bok.

Jeong Ho Myung acted like he knew you?

Yeah, but it's not just recognizing faces.

He knew all about us. He even knew why we came to Yeongseondo Island

ten years ago and what we were here for.

- Boss, I... have something to tell you. - Yeah.

What's good here?

Of course the lunchboxes are good. What, did you expect it to be like your jjambbong?

Actually, we've got a new product in. Want me to open one for you?

Hey! I'm not here for lunchboxes, but to talk about something.

After you left me stranded, now you want to talk?

We're not exactly carpool buddies, are we?

Cut the nonsense and listen carefully, because I'm about to make you

an offer you can't refuse.

I'm doing you guys a huge favor by taking you guys in.

- What? - Do as I say,

and I'll help you get your revenge.

What nonsense is that?

You're the one who loves talking nonsense.

Mr. Jeong!

How do you have that?

Either way, you've realized you can't take on Yoo In Goo alone.

So you probably turned to Prosecutor Kang as another option.

But that fell through too, which means you've got no other options.

What do you know, running your mouth like that, huh?

- Think I'll join hands with you like that? - You're not joining hands with me.

You're coming under me. Let's make that clear.

But Gong Bok here might think differently.

Yes.

Maybe you should take some time to consider what Mr. Jeong is saying.

Ma Gong Bok.

Mr. Jeong, how could you suddenly do this? You should have at least given me a heads-up!

I'm giving you one right now.

Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. You two settle the rest.

You have until midnight tonight. One minute late, and the deal is off.

Make a wise choice.

Wait, it...

- Did you betray me? - Betray you?

Is that really all the faith you have in me, boss?

"Mr. Jeong."

- You seemed really close to him. - I'm not close to him.

I was going to tell you.

I've gotten to know Mr. Jeong a bit better lately.

Because of everything that happened with Jeong Ho Myung and Yoo In Goo.

Yoo In Goo?

Didn't you say you'd moved on from all that?

You think I can really do that?

Being betrayed ten years ago,

and being humiliated recently,

I can't forget any of them.

I can still hear that barking in my ears even in my sleep.

If that was the case, you should've told me a long time ago.

- I'm your boss... - And what if I had?

Boss, do you honestly think you can close this convenience store?

Look at yourself.

You can't even walk away

from a tiny convenience store like this, and you think you're going to get revenge?

That doesn't mean we should team up with Jeong Ho Myung!

And why not?

Instead of spending our lives

chasing Yoo In Goo and Han Kyung Wook while rotting away in this store,

we'd be better off joining forces with Jeong Ho Myung and actually doing something.

Don't just dismiss it out of hand, boss.

Keep an open mind and think about it.

Don't you remember getting beaten up after taking on Yoo In Goo

- by yourself not too long ago? - What did you just say?

You're getting older now, boss.

You can't do this alone anymore.

Are you looking down on me right now?

- Saying I'm washed up? - That's not what I mean!

If that's what you're going to say, then get lost.

Go to Jeong Ho Myung, who you're so obsessed with!

You're getting older now, boss.

You can't do this alone anymore.

Darn it.

Darn it!

Behind you, boss!

- Here. - Okay.

Hey, Chow Yun Fat.

Yes.

Your face is known to everyone in the Night Butterfly faction now.

Being a waiter will be tough for a while.

Got anywhere to go?

Well... If you'd just take me in,

I want to come under your wing, boss.

Under my wing? Why?

I also... I want to be like you, boss.

I appreciate your help today,

but this is where we part ways.

Take this money and go your own way.

- Excuse me? What did I... - You want to be like me?

And then what?

You'd just end up a gangster, throwing punches.

Don't have any useless illusions.

Start fresh.

Chow Yun Fat!

Since Chow Yun Fat,

you're the first Korean that I have ever wanted to become, boss!

It's not some fantasy or anything.

I just want to follow wherever you go

and become more like you, boss!

Please take me in!

Prosecutor Kang, let's talk somewhere else.

Those punks... Okay, fine.

You really wanna take this as far as it'll go, huh?

Yes, yes.

Well, our members wanted to meet you.

- Members? - The people at the shelter.

Sorry for introducing myself so late. Thank you so much for saving me.

No, I didn't do this to get your thanks.

But let me ask you something.

How did you end up in the ocean?

- Are you really a prosecutor? - Sir!

- Sorry. - Why? I'm curious.

You had a prosecutor's ID in your pocket, yet you told us not to report it.

We need to know whether this is something that'll end up on the news.

I was investigating a major criminal case.

I got caught up in an incident during the investigation.

If my location is exposed right now,

it could seriously compromise the case.

I'm truly sorry to ask this,

but can I discreetly stay here just for a few days?

Oh, sure, of course.

So this was some kind of sting operation.

- Exactly. - Oh.

I know about that. Because I'm a cop.

But are you sure it's okay for you to stay here?

Of course.

Mr. Bong Jae Soon told me everything about this place.

He said you help people who lost everything unfairly to Heaven Capital.

Given everything you're doing for the people, of course I trust you.

We just helped some people around here.

That's hardly something admirable.

Anyway, there's something I'd like to ask.

I heard you've gathered some materials related to Heaven Capital.

Would it be okay

if I looked through them while I'm staying here?

That punk Yoo In Goo...

No, I mean I'd like to research

any illegal activities Heaven Capital may have been involved in.

You just woke up. Isn't that pushing yourself too hard?

What's there to worry about? We've got you.

- Huh? - Stick with her one-on-one

and don't let the prosecutor do a thing.

I was up all night yesterday.

It's okay. I'd rather quietly review the materials by myself.

No, no. You're still not fully recovered.

Jae Soon, okay?

Please, just help a bit more.

Okay.

I was up all night yesterday.

[Supermarket]

[Closed for business for now]

Hey!

Can you do it?

Pardon?

Rebuild Hwasan faction after ten years.

Do you have what it takes to crush both the In Goo faction and Han Kyung Wook?

Boss!

I've been out of the game for ten years. I'm rusty.

If you're gonna whine like that, how can we move forward?

Are you just gonna leave me here like this?

That will never happen!

For ten years, I've been waiting for today.

I'll do my best!

Tell me everything about what happened with Yoo In Goo and Jeong Ho Myung.

Don't hide anything from me again.

Whatever we do, we'll stick together till the end.

Yes, boss.

And Gong Bok, you were right.

I've gotten older.

I don't think that's what I meant.

No, you're right.

Facing In Goo faction alone is too much for me.

Contact Jeong Ho Myung and tell him

I want to see him immediately.

Okay.

Huh? Hey, Mr. Yoo.

Oh? You're looking pretty pleased with yourself. You're looking good.

So, did everything work out?

I handled it cleanly. So what's the problem?

Wow! Is it real?

So fast, Mr. Yoo.

What method did you use? Share that secret with me.

It's a secret you'd never be able to pull off yourself, so quit yapping

and keep your mouth shut in front of Mr. Han. Got it?

Okay, got it.

The latest Imcheon mayoral poll shows a two-horse race

- between independent Kim Seon Jung - I'm here.

and former lawmaker Han Kyung Wook.

- What are you doing? - The 2-point gap

- was within the margin of error. - Watching TV, huh?

[Kim, Han in Tight Race] Candidate Kim Seon Jung's strength

lies in his long-standing roots in Imcheon City

and has established an image as an honest educator.

[Kim, Han in Tight Race] In this conservative stronghold Imcheon City,

Kim Seon Jung has risen as a rival to candidate Han Kyung Wook

and his recent approval ratings have surged...

You really keep a close eye on the news.

What's the point of watching this stuff? It's all the same meaningless chatter.

Meaningless chatter?

No matter what they say, you have to win if the Yeongseondo Island project

is going to move forward, Mr. Han.

What do you think, Chairman Do?

Yeah, I have no doubt you will be elected. Those kinds of bad news...

Sorry, those kinds of negative talks

should be nipped in the bud.

Chairman Do, at least you get it.

Nipping things in the bud is what I'm good at, right?

Kidnapping, threats, confinement, just tell me what needs to be done.

Mr. Yoo, can't you see I'm talking with Chairman Do right now?

Why do you keep saying useless things?

My apologies.

- Continue, Chairman Do. - Yes.

At the end of the day, elections are all about image.

Let's turn him from an honest educator into a corrupt piece of trash.

How long?

A week? Well, a week is more than enough.

Mr. Yoo, you support Chairman Do.

Make sure it moves as quickly as possible.

Mr. Han, why would I become Chairman Do's errand boy?

I'm busy.

I hear Heaven Capital runs fine without you, yet you're busy?

Why? Got another operation going on the side?

No, I spoke out of turn.

Just in case, I'm saying this.

If there's any trouble with this project,

everyone will be held accountable.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.

There's a mountain of work to do. This is a big deal.

Mr. Nam, you got all the files from Secretary Baek, right?

Yes, I received the documents about Kim Seon Jung.

Give those documents to Kang Sik.

Mr. Yoo, don't worry about this. We'll handle it ourselves.

You think I'm doing this because I want to?

He didn't say we're a team.

He said you're supposed to support me.

But I don't really need your support, Mr. Yoo.

This isn't something to be solved through brute methods.

What? Brute? You punk!

- Kang Sik, starting tomorrow, take the guys - Yes.

and investigate Kim Seon Jung or whatever.

What? Chairman Do just said it's not necessary to...

You dare dodge me?

Wait, did you get something from that punk?

His words outrank mine now?

No, boss.

Kidnapping, threats, confinement.

Do it our way and dig up anything that could hurt Kim Seon Jung.

You better find something, or else... Understand?

Got it, boss.

So, your decision?

We'll accept your proposal.

But don't ever think about ordering us around.

We're only joining forces temporarily to get what we want.

We have no intention of becoming your lackeys.

Still hanging onto your pride till the end?

Gangster guy, what are you going to do if your whims ruin the operation?

Want a taste of what a gangster can do?

Boss, please calm down. Okay?

Is there a clear plan to beat Yoo In Goo and Han Kyung Wook?

Are you just running your mouth to use us?

Do you even know what Yoo In Goo is doing on Yeongseondo Island

or what Han Kyung Wook is planning?

Well...

If ten years behind a convenience store counter have made you rusty,

just do what you're told and stop talking back.

And you? Ten years just tossing a wok in a Chinese restaurant?

Now you're playing NIS special agent? When's the last time you wore a suit, huh?

Who are you calling rusty?

If you're so eager to act tough, let's settle it right now!

You little punk...

- You think I can't take you? - Yeah.

Don't you remember what happened ten years ago?

Come on, this isn't why we met.

Bring it on!

Hey, hey, hey! Come on then.

I remember exactly what happened ten years ago.

If it hadn't rained that day, I would've finished you off for good.

- Boss! - You're really...

You're even dumber than you look. Want me to remind you properly?

- Move aside. - Come on!

Move aside, move aside.

- I said come on, you punk! - Boss!

- Come on! - Mr. Jeong!

- Want to take care of this punk once? - Should I?

He needs a proper beating to come to his senses.

Mr. Jeong!

Boss!

- Come on! - Mr. Jeong, you're getting a call.

- Take the call. - Come on, you punk!

That kind of punk needs to be taken out in one shot.

Answer the phone!

Your phone's ringing!

[Seong Wo]

- Yeah, what's up? - Ho Myung.

Prosecutor Kang is alive.

- Really? - We still need to find out where she went.

She seems to have been washed up on the beach.

What about you?

Is Kang Beom Ryong taking the bait?

- What, you punk? - It's in progress.

I'll call you when it's done.

- Come on! - Wait!

Jeez.

Prosecutor Kang is alive.

- Really? - Of course, it's true.

Boss, then we don't need to do this anymore, right?

Mr. Jeong, are you really going to waste your energy fighting my boss?

Fine, as you guys want,

let's call it a temporary alliance.

Now that we know Prosecutor Kang is alive,

we don't have time to waste unnecessarily.

Then let's make one thing clear.

- We're not working under you. - Jeez, you punk... fine!

Whatever. Do what you want.

But if you start questioning my operations,

the alliance is over, got it?

Look who's talking!

[Jeongseok Study Residence]

Most of the victims were people who gambled at Heaven Casino.

They lured ordinary residents into gambling, buried them in debt,

and then they deliberately confiscated their homes and land.

The strange thing is...

[Nakwon-ri] They only took land

from Nakwon-ri residents on Yeongseondo Island.

Why?

Such island land or homes are difficult to dispose of.

Even if developed, it would take a long time to see any profit.

Yoo In Goo is clearly acting on Han Kyung Wook's orders.

Why did Han Kyung Wook give those orders?

These guys must be planning something on Yeongseondo Island...

You should eat.

Yes.

Yes.

Please eat.

Thank you, just leave it here and I'll eat.

Ah, yes, well...

Do you think there's any way for those victims to get their homes back?

Well, I'm not sure yet.

- Stop reading and eat your porridge first. - Yes.

Just leave it here and I'll eat, thank you.

No, you need to eat this before it gets cold and take your medicine. Hold on.

Here, this one.

- Is it okay if I eat it with my hands? - Of course.

Thank you.

After finishing the porridge, make sure you take this pill.

If seawater gets in your ears, you might get an ear infection.

Are you a nurse by any chance?

Pardon?

It's just that you're taking care of me like a professional.

Well, ten years ago I fell into the sea too, just like you.

I'm only doing for you

what the person who saved me did for me.

Why did you fall into the sea?

I don't know.

- Pardon? - Wait, there's no water.

I'll get you some warm water.

Eat quickly before it gets cold.

I'm busy today.

It's an honor to meet the two of you

who once led the Hwasan faction.

Yes, same here.

Why are you speaking so formally to them like they're something special?

We didn't start off on good terms,

but let's put the past aside

and focus on what's ahead.

Yes, I'll do my best with whatever is needed.

But is Prosecutor Kang really alive?

Yes, it's certain that she's alive.

It'll take some time to locate her,

but there are a few things you two need to take care of first.

Ma Gong Bok can't do it. We need someone to follow Bulgae.

Mr. Jeong, a few days ago,

Bulgae was chased by guys from Heaven Capital.

- So he ran away. - Did you lose him then?

No, but I'm still looking for him.

- I'll find him. - What? You punk!

Weren't you distracted by something else anyway?

You two punks teaming up...

- Darn it. - No, no, no!

There's something more urgent than chasing a missing Bulgae, right?

Back then, I wiretapped Yoo In Goo mentioned a drug deal.

- Pardon? - Pardon?

You're telling me Yoo In Goo got involved in drugs too?

He said there's a major deal coming soon that will decide

the fate of the organization.

The problem is how we're going to stop it.

Wait a minute, can the four of us really stop it?

I really don't want to admit it, but the In Goo faction

seems beyond what the four of us can handle.

If it's come to this,

let's just strike the top directly.

Do you really think Yoo In Goo or Han Kyung Wook

will even blink over something like that?

Gangsters only think about what's right in front of them.

- What? - After hitting the top, then what?

Are you going to bury them in the mountains afterward?

Also, did you forget what happened when you went in alone?

Darn it.

They've built a solid fortress over the past ten years.

To bring it down, we need to remove the foundation stone by stone.

Right now, we need to stop the drug deal

and deliver a critical blow first.

So do you have a plan or something?

First, Ma Gong Bok,

put the search for Bulgae on hold,

and try tailing Yoo In Goo.

Don't miss a single thing they're doing.

Yes, understood.

Ho Myung!

Surveillance and wiretapping, this isn't child's play.

Can a normal person even do that?

Do you think he's just a normal guy?

He's a stalker who secretly monitored me for ten years, even though I'm an NIS agent.

I don't mean to brag,

but I know Mr. Jeong's wedding anniversary, Ji Woo's birthday,

even the number of spoons he's got.

Just say the word. I'm confident in tailing anyone and gathering intel.

- Good. - Now, you understand

how unrelenting and persistent he is?

And since your leg isn't in good shape, don't overdo it.

Just check the police CCTV that Ma Gong Bok has

and keep track of Prosecutor Kang's activities.

Okay, got it.

What now? What are you going to make me do?

Just get ready.

I'm already ready. Ready for what?

Get ready to run like a dog.

[Ballroom Dance]

Drive the car gently.

Thinking back to the scratch on the door last time...

Oh, my! I know, I'll drive carefully.

Thank you.

The back was also dented, you know.

That wasn't me, seriously.

I'll go and come back safely. See you tonight.

Give my regards to Seon Jung.

Okay.

- Oh, my. - Oh? Oh, my.

- Mr. Kim! - Welcome, welcome.

Is O Ran here?

- Boss, a woman entered Kim Seon Jung's home. - Yes?

Really? Take a picture, take a picture.

Did you take it?

- But, boss, - Yeah.

honestly, isn't this too tough?

We're already exhausted preparing for the drug deal.

They want us to find a martial arts master too.

Now, it's even Kim Seon Jung or something.

The guys keep complaining this is tough. This is a serious mess.

What can we do?

If your brain is slow, your hands and feet suffer.

If you and I want to protect our shins,

today we have to get the new information

on Kim Seon Jung before Chairman Do, no matter what.

- Until when? - Just hold on a little longer, you punk!

This won't last much longer.

Alright.

Look here.

- Look, this is rice and... - Yes.

Down here are beans, barley, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

These were originally for the Ja Ae-won Orphanage.

But since you guys need it more urgently, take them.

Sorry for whining every time I come here.

How are the victims?

Are they still increasing?

Yes, we've gathered all the materials on the victims,

but it seems Heaven Capital has interfered.

Police and lawyers say there's no illegality,

and they're not even treating it as news.

They are playing dumb.

I really don't know what to do anymore.

Just wait a little longer.

If I just get elected in this election,

I'll come up with relief measures for the victims first.

Oh! Mr. Kim.

You might not believe it, but I'm actually leading in the polls.

Exactly.

So hurry up and win already.

At this rate, people on Yeongseondo Island are going to die.

Let's hold on a little longer.

- Okay? - Yes.

- Here. - Give it to me.

Okay.

- I'll make good use of this, Mr. Kim. - Alright.

Call me anytime you need help.

- Thank you. - You should get going.

- I'll head out now. - Yeah, go ahead.

Huh?

She's leaving.

- What do we do? - What else? Hurry and follow her.

Who is that? I feel like I've seen her somewhere.

Hey, switch lanes.

She noticed. I told you to keep some distance.

Great, hurry up and stay close.

Okay.

Darn it.

Stop, stop!

It's a dead end.

- Yes. - Get ready.

- Yes. - Turn off the engine.

[O Ran Chinese Restaurant]

Cuckoo.

[O Ran Chinese Restaurant]

Cuckoo.

- Ji Woo! - It's Dad. Dad!

Ji Woo!

Oh, my.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

- Did you eat? - Yeah.

I missed you, Dad.

I missed you too.

What is this, a separated families reunion?

Mr. Jeong!

You startled me. What brings you in so early?

Where have you been all this time?

Do you know how worried I was?

After you left,

the two of us really struggled. It was awful.

O Ran keeps going out all the time, something about K-pop or whatever.

At this rate,

either Mr. Kim or I won't make it out of this alive.

So you're back for good, right?

You're not leaving again, right?

Dad, are you back?

I just stopped by to see Ji Woo today.

When are you going to make up with O Ran?

I've been blocked, so there's no way to reach her.

Write a letter then.

She'll probably tear it up anyway.

So you just sit here doing nothing?

You're not coming back?

I need to fix something before I can make things right with O Ran.

I'll finish that first, and then come home.

Dad, then when are you coming home?

I'll come back as soon as possible.

Then, since you're here, could you peel some onions before you go?

Is there any incense left at home?

Boss!

Even sweet and sour soy chicken comes in lunchboxes these days.

Can I try it?

Go ahead.

No one's going to eat it anyway.

Did you leave that for the police officer?

Then I won't eat it.

No, eat it.

She's not coming anyway.

What? She's not coming?

Did you sort things out with her?

There was nothing to sort out in the first place. We were never anything.

- It's bothering me, so hurry up and eat it. - Yes.

It's bothering you, right? I'll eat it quickly and clean it up.

Darn it.

Mr. Kang!

- You're here early. - I came right after getting your call.

What's going on? You're suddenly closing the store?

Let's talk inside.

- Come in after you finish. - Yes.

Wait.

What is it?

If you go 300 meters further, there's a place called Convenience Store 25.

Please go to that convenience store from now on.

Pardon?

Your boss said that?

That I shouldn't come here?

It's a bit awkward to say this,

but my boss lives in a completely different world from yours.

He's dealing with something big.

Please don't bother him unnecessarily

and step away.

Something big?

What, is he opening a supermarket or something?

And what gives you the right to say that?

I know my boss better than anyone in this world.

You don't know how much you've been bothering him, do you?

Is that what he said? That I'm bothering him?

Yes, he said it himself.

He said you're getting under his skin, even though there's nothing between you two.

If you get selected as a Friendly Convenience Store two years in a row,

headquarters will offer more benefits.

Please think about it again.

I've got a personal matter. Sorry for the sudden notice.

What now?

Even at the fastest, it'll take three months.

Please hurry as much as possible.

- Please wait a moment. - I'll check the stock.

- So headquarters... - You startled me!

Don't creep up on me like that!

I've been here the whole time.

Well, you...

- Well, just now... - Oh.

The police officer? That psycho.

I sent her away.

Psycho? What do you mean you sent her away?

Didn't you say you two weren't anything?

I didn't want her going in and out of the store and making you uneasy.

I've neatly sorted things out on my end.

What are you talking about? What did you sort out?

Didn't you notice?

The way she looks at you definitely suggests she likes you.

Really?

How would someone like you even know that?

Someone like me?

Do you know how many women come to the store

just to give me drinks?

That police officer had exactly that same look.

Luckily, things between you two were resolved so neatly.

What if you two had actually gotten together?

Huh? This...

If this goes wrong, it could end up

on an investigative documentary

about ties between a former gangster and the police.

Gives me chills just thinking about it.

I did well, right?

You're completely right. Yeah, whatever you say.

It could have been a real disaster, seriously.

I prevented it.

Please leave a message after the beep.

I was too harsh.

At least tell me where you are.

[Where are you? I'm worried, so contact me. Why aren't you answering the phone?]

Please leave a message after the beep.

[Uncle]

[I was too harsh...]

Who is it? Your uncle?

Yeah.

Don't do that. Just go back and beg for forgiveness.

Am I out of my mind? I have my pride.

How am I supposed to go back after saying that?

You're out of internet cafe money too.

Go get some cash or something.

Do you think I'm trash or what?

You want me to go squeeze money out of someone

who's basically living like a slave because of me?

Ugh, you naive high schooler.

I'll pay him back for what I lost, plus interest.

I'll go back to set him free from this 'servant life.'

You're broke. Do you really think you can pull that off?

That's why I'm desperately looking for jobs. Part-Time Hell.

But why is the pay always like this?

Darn it.

Nam Il, I met Jin Soo yesterday.

And there was a high-paying job, but they said they're short of people.

If you're okay with it, should I ask for you?

- It's not something shady again, is it? - Do you think it's a normal job?

They say they'll pay 1 million won a day.

What? 1 million... 1 million won?

Really?

[Land list]

[Bong Jae Soon]

Bong Jae Soon?

Yes.

Oh, dear.

I prepared a nourishing meal today.

Here, here.

Not just regular chicken,

I've made it with native chicken.

Makes your mouth water, right?

Look.

- Mr. Bong Jae Soon. - Yes?

Can I eat it myself?

Sure.

Alright, here you go.

- Here. - Okay.

- Here. - Thank you.

I'll debone it for you.

But why are you always here like this, Jae Soon? Don't you work?

This is my job.

Huh?

Well... I used to work at a company, but I got fired.

The thugs from Heaven Capital

came to the company and caused havoc.

I saw your name on the list of victims here, Mr. Bong Jae Soon.

Did you gamble?

Not me, my nephew did.

It wasn't even a large sum, but he still got victimized.

He's not even your own child. Who takes on their nephew's debt?

Huh? Did you co-sign?

No, nothing like that.

I just... couldn't ignore it.

I told you before. I once fell into the water like you, about ten years ago.

Back then, they saved me

when I had no memory and nowhere to go,

taking me in like family.

My nephew and his grandfather.

That's why you said you didn't know why you fell into the sea then.

It's so amazing, like a movie.

You really don't remember? Not even a single thing?

I don't know. I don't remember anything.

I even went through hypnosis therapy, but it didn't work.

I just keep having weird dreams like action movies, pointless ones.

- Action movies? - Yes, action movies.

Yes.

Prosecutor, I've got something to discuss. Do you have time?

Discuss?

You said two men were following you when you left Seon Jung's house yesterday?

Yes, but I was kind of unsure about it.

It sure felt like they were tailing me.

Since I couldn't lead them away,

I hid in an alley, ready to go all in with a wooden stick,

but then they suddenly disappeared.

I glimpsed, and they didn't seem like ordinary people.

They sure seemed like thugs from Heaven Capital.

What if they figured out we're helping debt collection victims

and started tailing us?

But why didn't you report it to the police on the spot?

If it's the Capital guys, reporting it is pointless.

What kind of backing do they have to just lock people up and beat them

whenever they want?

Even if we report them and catch them,

it would just end with a slap on the wrist.

- Is it really that bad? - You don't have to look far.

Above me there's Sergeant Kim,

and he's a completely rotten errand boy for the Capital guys.

What do we do?

If those are really Heaven Capital guys,

- we need to come up with a plan. - A frontal assault.

- Huh? - What do you think?

- A frontal assault? - Yes.

Can you explain more about that Sergeant Kim?

Call.

Code One, Code One. Assault reported at 34 Nakwon 2-ro.

Oh, I'm nearby. I'll head over.

[Sergeant Kim: A report came in, deploy in 3 minutes]

Hey, stop it.

- Let's go. - Yes, boss.

Everyone on Yeongseondo Island knows him.

That bastard cop,

instead of stopping illegal debt collectors,

is covering for them.

There must be CCTV around there, right?

I'm telling you, there wasn't any CCTV.

Can the police really act like this?

Where is a citizen even supposed to access CCTV footage?

If he was taking bribes, he should've done it alone.

But he's corrupted all his colleagues.

There are countless Capital-related cases Sergeant Kim covered up.

Cheers!

At this point, he's less a cop

and more a Heaven Capital thug.

Mi Kyeong, can you check if Sergeant Kim

handled that traffic accident

on the riverside road a few days ago?

How do you know about that, Prosecutor?

Well, he's usually slacking off all the time,

but suddenly he showed up acting like he was managing the scene,

so I found it suspicious.

Oh! This might be easier than expected.

I'll meet Sergeant Kim tomorrow.

You, Prosecutor?

Yes.

You're familiar with this place, right?

Huh? Isn't this where Yoo In Goo held us?

Yeah, Yeongseon Food.

This is their base.

They hide drugs as preservatives inside the jerky packaging

and distribute them nationwide from Yeongseondo Island.

The day after tomorrow,

a huge load of drugs from China will arrive at Yeongseon Port

and enter Yeongseondo Island.

So they're coming in disguised as cargo?

They say the In Goo faction has poured all their money into this.

It's a bit unsettling that we still haven't confirmed

whether those drugs are Han Kyung Wook's source of funds or not.

- But if we blow that place up... - We can completely finish off Yoo In Goo?

That's right.

You're keeping a close eye on their movements, right?

Yes, I was just going to tell you.

They seem to have tried to target someone named Kim Seon Jung.

- Kim Seon Jung? - Yes, he's a candidate

running in the Imcheon mayoral election against Han Kyung Wook.

He doesn't seem tied to the drug deal, so I'm not sure what they're planning.

They even tailed a woman who visited Kim Seon Jung's house yesterday.

I felt they were crossing the line, so I chased them and took them down.

Did you see the woman's face?

While I was dealing with them, she managed to escape.

But I did get her license plate.

It seems that Kim Seon Jung isn't really related to this deal.

Please get that license plate number and check it out.

- Okay. - You keep on gathering details

on Yoo In Goo's side of the deal.

Alright.

Anything on Prosecutor Kang's side?

A guy was seen carrying Prosecutor Kang into the redevelopment area,

but after that, she's disappeared.

There's no CCTV there either.

Things would be a lot easier if we had Prosecutor Kang around.

Anyway, keep an eye on it.

Okay, okay.

And Kang...

Kang Beom Ryong!

Kang Beom Ryong!

- Boss, boss. - What? What is it?

What, what?

- What? - What's your opinion, Kang Beom Ryong?

My opinion on what?

No predictions on how Yoo In Goo will move?

You used to work under him, so you should know his habits.

Habits?

Why do you need my opinion? Gong Bok already did all the research.

Did you even listen?

I just thought for a moment and missed a few words, seriously.

I basically got it all.

In this situation where drugs are coming into Yeongseondo Island,

are you just spacing out?

No wonder, you're a former gangster,

- so no responsibility, no passion. - Darn you!

Why do you keep calling me a gangster?

Hey!

Do you think gangsters have no emotions?

Ever think about how that sounds?

What? You're the one who messed up.

- Don't stop me. - It's fine, don't hold me back.

I didn't hold you back though.

You...

Why are you acting like this?

Anyway, I got the gist.

If there's anything you need me to do, have Gong Bok pass it on.

I've got to take care of the store, so I'll head out first.

Beom Ryong!

- You should've talked more before leaving. - What was that?

Beom Ryong, take care.

Sorry, I got a bit worked up.

No need to apologize.

But... you seem pretty stressed lately.

So Kang Beom Ryong is acting like this

because of the female officer he had a crush on?

Yeah, he said they weren't anything,

but he's been like this since she showed up.

That's serious.

Why?

If he's like this right before the operation,

he could mess everything up.

Come on, Beom Ryong was a legend in the Hwasan faction.

Would he mess things up just because of some issues with a woman?

Can you be sure Kang Beom Ryong will get over her by tomorrow?

Based on what you've seen, is your boss really that logical and cold?

No, he's not like that.

Tell me everything you know about Kang Beom Ryong.

[Police]

Hey, Park Mi Kyeong! Come over here.

Come quickly.

Why do you keep sticking your nose in places you shouldn't?

You think all cops are the same?

There are levels. You finally got a government badge at your age.

Get to know your place!

Ugh, this is so frustrating.

How did someone like you even end up in the police?

Get your act together.

- Are you here to turn yourself in? - You startled me!

What are you doing here?

How did you even know to come here?

You don't even look out of place standing here.

- What? - Yeah.

It's not a bad idea to repent for the crimes you committed

as a gangster and turn yourself in.

Otherwise, why are you staring so desperately at that police station?

It's because of that officer from earlier, isn't it?

- Who? - Your standards are pretty high.

But isn't this the wrong genre?

She's a romance type, and you're a crime story.

It's too mismatched.

From what I see, you'd better stay as a regular and the store owner.

- Is it Gong Bok again? - Yeah.

Just leave. I didn't come here because I've lost my mind over Mi Kyeong

like you and Gong Bok think.

If not, then why did you come here at this crucial time?

Kang Beom Ryong, don't you know what's important right now?

I know. I do.

What exactly do you know?

I'm so determined right now to sort everything out...

I even packed my bags and left home!

Even if we focus on tomorrow's operation, it'll be hard to succeed.

If we try to handle everything at once, we'll lose both.

Whether it's Yoo In Goo or Han Kyung Wook,

we need to finish this quickly, so you can go back to the life you want, right?

So stop thinking about anything else and focus on the operation.

Whether you confess to that officer or get rejected,

you can do it later. It's not too late.

Don't act smart. I know, I know.

Once everything's sorted, I'll handle things properly.

But from what I see, I don't think you've got a chance.

What nonsense.

Gong Bok said that Ms. Mi Kyeong also has feelings for me.

Do you believe that? He's just saying that to make you feel better.

Do you think Gong Bok actually cares about me like that?

But seriously, what if you get rejected?

Is this all? There's nothing useful to get out of this.

Both Kkot Nim and I watched closely with eyes wide open.

There wasn't a single person around. He's unusually thorough.

- And the tailing? - Apart from the election camp

and the restaurant, he doesn't go anywhere else.

He doesn't meet anyone privately either.

Forget it. Darn it!

No matter how much we dig, we won't get even a single crumb out of him.

If he's this clean, Chairman Do won't have any solutions either.

I kind of regret not teaching that sly fox a lesson.

Since it's come to this, I might as well sit back and watch that sly fox

get taken down by Mr. Han.

Let's put this aside and focus on our deal.

You know what I mean?

- Understood. - Understood.

Besides that woman, no one else frequents Kim Seon Jung's house.

Did you find out who she is?

It's clear she's not an ordinary woman.

Just when we were about to move in,

some strange guy showed up

and ambushed us from behind.

She definitely has backing.

- Backing? - Yes, if you look here...

Here! Here.

We got the license plate.

Are you sure Mr. Yoo has no idea about this woman?

No, I didn't tell him anything at all.

And Mr. In Goo plans to ignore Kim Seon Jung for now,

focusing only on the deal.

Okay, okay.

Let's ensure Mr. Yoo continues to focus solely on the deal.

Don't let him get distracted by unnecessary matters.

- Okay? - Yes.

Go on. You must be busy ahead of the deal, Mr. Gold.

Oh, yes.

Kim Seon Jung...

There seems to be a new variable.

Should we revise the plan for Kim Seon Jung?

No, no. Let's keep the plan going for now.

We can't overturn the setup we've already prepared.

Got it. Then I'll adjust the schedule as planned.

Hold on. Just in case.

Let's run the plate and identify this woman first.

I'm telling you, she's no ordinary woman.

We should at least check whether this could affect our plan.

Yes, understood.

The flame is weak, it's weak.

Huh?

Why is this so tough?

This is just ordinary beef. Are they trying to pass it off as premium beef?

Please leave.

Stop eating without paying and interfering with the business.

Old lady, you're falsely accusing innocent people.

Who's disrupting the business?

This tastes terrible! No, no, no!

It's tough. The meat here is tough!

The protection money or whatever is here,

so please just leave, okay?

It would've been great if you'd given it earlier.

Why make things so difficult?

Isn't it too much to be doing this as a cop?

This isn't too much.

Old lady, can't you see

those shops up ahead got pushed out by the Heaven Capital guys?

Don't you know who it is that keeps your business going?

It's thanks to me!

What's the point of working my whole life

if you keep taking everything?

How am I supposed to live?

Old lady, you just have to work harder, right?

Old lady, fighting!

Stop being annoying and bring me a pound of short ribs to take home.

Hurry up, hurry up!

What is it? What brings you here?

I'm here on patrol.

Patrol?

What kind of patrol?

I'm here to catch scum like you.

What? Park Mi Kyeong, are you crazy?

You're the one who's crazy, not Mi Kyeong.

- What is this? And who are you? - I'm so disappointed.

You said you were desperately looking for me,

and yet you don't even recognize me.

What nonsense! Who are you?

Me?

I'm the 'water spirit' you've been desperately looking for in Yeongseon River,

Prosecutor Kang Young Ae.

What? You're talking nonsense.

I heard you went all out

trying to cover up my car accident as a simple accidental death.

You'll know when you serve time for evidence tampering

whether I'm a 'water spirit,'

or Prosecutor Kang Young Ae.

[Welcome]

- What are you doing here? - I came because I was worried.

Are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Yes, yes.

Stay still.

[My cash cow 2]

Can't you answer the phone faster?

Yes, I was just handling some work.

Boss, what's going on?

What else? Don't you know there's more coming in from China tomorrow?

Didn't I tell you to stay on top of it?

Yes, yes, I remember.

Anyway, make sure the police don't come anywhere near Yeongseon Port.

And check if there is anyone suspicious like a martial arts master.

Do some intensive patrols.

Yes, understood.

Okay.

Sergeant Kim, we've got a lot to talk about, don't we?

Mr. Bong.

- Yes? - Can you get up now?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm fine.

Hi, I'm Jang Yeong Gi from the Nampo Station Narcotics Team 2.

Who do you think I am?

You could've just called my phone. Why did you call the police station?

That's boring.

Forget it. I'll explain later.

Yeong Gi, you want to boost your performance, right?

Why do you ask?

Because something big has come up.

I'm on Yeongseondo Island. Come over here tomorrow.

It's been a long time since we last worked together.

Since you left the police and became a prosecutor the hard way,

shouldn't you be doing paperwork at your desk?

Why are you still going into the field?

Hey, are you going to question everything like that?

Is that how I taught you?

I'm just worried about you.

So, what is it?

Thanks for letting me use your phone.

No problem. All went well?

The detectives are coming tomorrow.

- Are you alright? - I'll be fine.

It's a bit tingly though.

I think I need to get back to duty.

What should we do? Should we just throw him in jail?

What do you mean "throw me in jail"? I didn't do anything wrong!

No, let's take him to our side first.

Those punks of In Goo faction.

It's strange they're so quiet despite something big is coming up.

I guess those lunatics are planning

to use high school students on Yeongseondo Island as shields.

They're using high school students for drug deals?

Is Yoo In Goo out of his mind?

I'm telling you, even in the underworld, there are rules.

That punk Kang Sik alone has met 20 to 30 students.

They only take this as a high-paying part-time job.

The more people involved, the messier it gets.

We can't just mess with kids who don't know anything.

If it can't be done, then we'll make it happen.

There's this guy, Mr. Baek.

A smuggler specializing in trafficking and illegal entry.

He bribes Yeongseon Port officials, sets up an office, and smuggles.

If this guy doesn't cooperate,

smuggling on Yeongseondo Island is impossible.

The place where Yoo In Goo will bring in the drugs tomorrow

is also provided by Mr. Baek.

If we secure this location in advance,

and set it up perfectly,

there's a good chance we'll succeed.

But is that even possible?

What's our goal?

Even if we report the drugs, Yoo In Goo and Han Kyung Wook

are bound to find a way to get out.

And we can't just take down that many people by force.

But if we focus only on taking Yoo In Goo down,

it might be doable.

I'm starting to see a picture. So where do we start?

You and Ma Gong Bok set up the stage.

With Gong Bok?

Can a civilian really handle this?

Come on, I can do anything. Just give me the order.

Alright, so, should I just wait on standby?

You're coming with me to secure the location.

You don't seem confident going alone?

I can go alone, but you need something to do.

So I'm bringing you along.

Quit yapping and follow me.

Alright, so when are we going?

Now.

Hey, Mr. Kim.

Jeez.

Running a business for a day or two? Huh?

The goods will be transferred safely. Don't worry.

- Buy me a drink. - Guys!

Wait a second. What's going on?

There's no time, so I'll keep it brief.

Important goods are coming from China tomorrow night, right?

We need to modify that shipment a bit.

So let us borrow your place for two days.

A kind of venue sponsorship.

I think you can just think of it that way.

What are these thugs rambling about?

What are you waiting for? Get them!

- Aren't you going to fight? - Me alone? What about you?

Are you scared?

Scared? You think I'm like you?

Location secured.

Let's get into the setup now.

Feels like a real alliance now.

Aren't you worried at all?

My calculations have never been wrong.

Those two definitely had something going on.

- You're going alone, Prosecutor? - Do you want to go together, Jae Soon?

I'll do anything.

Honestly, speak up. What's going on?

I'm pregnant.

Pregnant? Do you believe such a lie?

Stop talking nonsense!

I know better than anyone what kind of guy

- Han Kyung Wook is. - The bomb has been delivered.

If we're going to blow this open,

there had better be something to watch for fun.

We need to save him. He could die over there.

- Huh? Over there! - I wondered why you didn't show up.

So it was you?
