[Woo-jin sighs]

[tuts]

ACK

[Woo-jin] Don't worry.

You can count on me.

Woo-jin.

What?

Your mouth stinks of poo.

Hey, Gun-woo.

That's not something you say in the morning to anyone.

Smell it. It's poo breath.

Are you sick or you caught a cold? We'll go to the hospital after training.

[sniffs]

[exhales]

[coughs, sniffs]

[upbeat music playing]

[footsteps thudding]

[groans]

Oh jeez, those boys.

[both sigh]

Go!

[music fades]

[tranquil music playing]

- Please enjoy these. - Yes, ma'am, thanks.

- [So-yeon] Gun-woo. - Hi, Mom.

I've got a delivery! Woo-jin, make me two espressos?

- Drive safely. - [Gun-woo] I will.

Here, let's do this.

- [Gun-woo] See you soon. - [So-yeon] Okay.

MOVING ON FRIDAY, 2/14 THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING

BUILDING 104 UNIT 1901

Jeong-gwon, how about putting that over inside there?

- Yes, I ordered those. - Here you are.

Whoa!

You're the boxer, Kim Gun-woo, right?

- Yes, hi. - Could I maybe…

Shake? Sure.

You've got a strong hand.

[exhales]

Ah, sorry about making you use the stairs. There's a lot of them.

No, that's okay. I enjoy taking the stairs.

It's good. I end up working muscles I don't normally use when I'm boxing

so it helps improve my balance.

[gasps] Oh.

You're really amazing.

I'm an athlete too. In tae kwon do.

Oh, whoa, wow.

[music fades]

You fight too?

Uh, that's…

I'm not a talker. I'm so sorry for being shy.

I'll root for you in the championship match. Go win!

[chuckles] Yes, win!

Please enjoy!

- I will. - Good.

Wow, this hand touched his.

Jeong-gwon, look!

[Woo-jin exhales]

Here.

Let's sit.

[tranquil music playing]

Thanks for the meal.

- Okay. - Thanks for the meal.

Gun-woo, don't you still have to lose some weight?

Hmm.

You think he's going to be okay?

Don't worry about his weight. It'll quickly fall off him.

- Gun-woo, you'll make the weigh-in? - Mm.

Hmm.

Gun-woo, keep listening to him.

Mm.

And you, look after him, Woo-jin.

Mm.

- Mm. [chuckles] - [music fades]

[all chuckle]

- [So-yeon] Mm, mm. - [all chuckle]

[announcer] Bring the fighters to the scale

for the WBC World Super-Middleweight title match.

[man] Yeah!

[announcer] First for the weigh-in, we have champion, Adik Belov!

Belov has stepped onto the scale and he's made weight!

Yeah! [grunting]

[announcer] Next we have for the weigh-in, his opponent, Kim Gun-woo.

[Woo-jin cheers]

[tense music playing]

Kim stands on the scale and he's made weight.

[cheering, whooping]

In 26 hours, we'll have champion Adik Belov against Kim Gun-woo

in an exciting match.

Fighters, come to the center of the stage to face your opponent.

I'm gonna bust your face open!

I kill you!

You are dead tomorrow.

- Hey, are you crazy?! - [man 3] Break it up!

[man 4] They're fighting.

[man 1] We'd like to remind the staff to calm the fighters down.

There's no need for any of this to start now.

[clamoring]

BLOODHOUNDS 2

We're moments away! I'm Hong Seok-hyeon.

And Kim Kwang-sun, the gold medalist of the '88 Olympics, is here with me!

Thank you very much. Hello.

Tonight, we'll be watching the WBC world super middleweight title match

between Adik Belov and Kim Gun-woo.

First, Kim Gun-woo has made a remarkable rise

since he won the KBFC Rookie of the Year Tournament five years ago.

Tonight, he's up for the championship title. Do you think he'll win?

He's risen quickly in the boxing world.

I'm proud of him, and I think he can do it.

[Seok-hyeon] The fighters have entered. We're about to begin.

Adik Belov has refused to touch gloves. This is a power move on Belov's part.

[Kwang-sun] This shows that Belov is engaging in a psychological war.

[Seok-hyeon] Who knows if that'll pay off? Fans seem split.

Round one begins, and Adik Belov again pushes away Kim Gun-woo's glove.

Kim jabs and Belov goes in for the attack.

[Kwang-sun] He's coming on strong.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim punches back, but Belov aggressively puts Kim into a corner.

Belov's taking control early, using combinations with speed and power.

- [Kwang-sun] Kim needs to start fighting. - [Seok-hyeon] That's true.

Belov and Kim square off as Kim steps forward and starts punching.

A combination of jabs and a right hook.

- Oh! - [Kwang-sun] Oh!

[high-pitched ringing]

[referee, muffled] Two!

Three!

Four!

[Seok-hyeon] Belov's counter stunned Kim, knocking him down.

It was as if Kim was walking right into Belov's plan.

[inaudible speech]

[referee] Six.

[tense music continues]

What happens if Adik wins?

He'll pay you. The prize money will be used to pay off his debt.

Then why the fuck did I come if I didn't have to be here?

I'll drag him in no matter what.

Get that bastard in the fucking cage.

Got it.

Win this! You can do it!

It's okay, it's fine.

- Box! - [Gun-woo exhales]

[Seok-hyeon] Kim Gun-woo's going to be cautious of Adik Belov's left hook now

because he got caught badly by it.

[Kwang-sun] Kim's an all-around fighter and he needs to start stepping it up.

- [Seok-hyeon] What a duck! - [Kwang-sun] Belov being aggressive.

Kim backs away. He needs to show some combos.

[Seok-hyeon] Can Kim Gun-woo stop Adik Belov's momentum and find his own?

[Kwang-sun] He got hit in the face again as he ducks.

[Seok-hyeon] Belov backed Kim Gun-woo into a corner again.

[Kwang-sun] Belov keeps showing his finesse in this first round.

The clinch tactic Kim just did broke it up and was good.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim Gun-woo's trying to stop Belov's momentum.

[Kwang-sun] Kim's normally an aggressive fighter,

but he keeps getting pushed back.

[Seok-hyeon] Gun-woo steps back again. This isn't going well.

[Kwang-sun] It's clear Kim's taken some damage already.

[Seok-hyeon] Belov hooks left and right, driving Kim into the corner again.

[Kwang-sun] And Kim backs up and babysits the corner.

[Seok-hyeon] Right jab, left jab. Adik keeps attacking!

[Kwang-sun] Kim clinches Adik again.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim's tactic seems to be to hold off Adik for as long as possible.

[Kwang-sun] First round's over and Adik Belov clearly dominated.

[Seok-hyeon] Yes. And that's the end of the first round.

His punches are quick. His infighting's good.

- [Woo-jin] Catch your breath. - [Gun-woo panting]

- [Woo-jin] Focus. - [panting]

[Woo-jin] Don't let him get to you. Be in his face and don't back down.

You know there's no one alive who can beat you.

[exhales]

Look at me, man.

[breathes deeply]

Kim Gun-woo.

Trust your infighting. Trust what we've built.

Eat the competition.

[suspenseful music playing]

Number three's loading. Calling in the order.

- Ack! - [yells] Ack!

[grunts] Ack!

- [bell dings] - [grunts]

[Seok-hyeon] Round two begins.

Kim looks more determined at the start of this second round.

[Kwang-sun] Kim's being more aggressive. It's good to see him not back away.

[Seok-hyeon] It's great. Kim gives well-landed body blows to Belov's side,

followed with quick combos.

[Kwang-sun] It's a great series of uppercuts and a hook.

[Seok-hyeon] Now, it's Belov retreating.

[Kwang-sun] Kim's fighting more like his usual style now.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim's displaying his infighting technique and combos

in this second round.

[Kwang-sun] His coach must've reminded him who he is and what he's here to do.

He needed to be more aggressive than he was in the first round.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim mixes up his striking combos as he closes the distance

with a series to Belov's head and body.

[Kwang-sun] Those punches land quickly with force and precision.

- [Seok-hyeon] Belov into the corner. - [Kwang-sun] Things have turned!

- Number three! - [Seok-hyeon] Kim's got the upper hand.

He delivers a barrage of blows to Belov. Kim keeps pouring on the punches!

[Kwang-sun] Those were fast and tight combos.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim lands a perfect straight punch!

[Kwang-sun] It had power, speed and force.

- [bell rings] - [Seok-hyeon] What?

I can't believe this. He stopped. That would've been the finishing blow.

[Kwang-sun] He would've won. But he stopped.

That punch was going straight to the eye and would've landed cleanly.

But Kim stopped.

- He stopped it just as the bell rang. - Yeah.

The sportsmanship tonight. It shows what kind of athlete Kim is.

[Seok-hyeon] In the second round, Kim not only showed his commanding skills,

but also his sportsmanship to his fans.

Kim had a great momentum in the second round.

His fans are on fire.

I'm looking forward to what we'll see from him in the third round.

[crowd] Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo!

- This one's yours. - Yeah?

Belov's got a gash on his left eye.

Finish him off with your right jab quickly.

[Belov] Stop the blood! How's it looking?

- [Gun-woo] Woo-jin. - Yeah?

Can't we go with number one?

We're almost finished. Why change?

- I gotta fight! - [coach] I need you to focus.

- I need to win! - [coach] Focus!

He'll need a dozen stitches to his face.

I can still win by using number one instead.

No way. Too risky.

He's the champion.

You've got to stay the course and finish it off when you have the chance.

[suspenseful music playing]

We should trust the number one. Trust what we've made and who we are.

[coach] It's just you and me.

He's gonna attack that left eye with a right hook or a right straight.

Duck it, get in close, and finish this thing.

- Yeah. - [coach] Do that for me?

I understand.

[chuckles softly]

So instead, punch him very quickly.

Mm-hmm. Fast.

Like the speed of light!

Lightening!

- [grunts] Ack! - [grunts] Ack!

- Ack! - [grunts]

- Go! - [grunts]

[grunts]

[dramatic music playing]

You'll win this for Uzbekistan, Adik!

[Seok-hyeon] Round three begins.

Kim raises his guard, and he rushes forward as Adik stays frozen.

Kim lands a left hook onto Adik's side!

[Kwang-sun] It went clean on the right side of Adik's body.

[Seok-hyeon] Wow, Belov quickly collapses. Will he be able to get up?

- You can do it! Come on! - [Kwang-sun] Didn't take that punch well.

[Seok-hyeon] Belov's still down on the ground, in pain.

Belov took some heavy damage! Is this the end?

- Nine. - [Seok-hyeon] We're at the count of nine.

- The match has been called! - [cheering]

It's over!

[Kwang-sun] Kim gave a fight-ending KO.

[Seok-hyeon] Kim Gun-woo is the new WBC super middleweight champion!

[crowd] Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo!

[Gun-woo] Are you okay?

[crowd] Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo! Kim Gun-woo!

You're a good fighter. Forget what I said.

It's just business.

Thank you.

[rock music playing]

[Woo-jin yells]

[both yell]

[screams happily]

[all yell happily]

- [music fades] - [Woo-jin] Gun-woo, see what I got. Look.

[Woo-jin coughing]

Gross. Why do people smoke this?

Throw it out.

- No way. This… [coughs] …cost 100,000 won. - It did?

But I'll throw it.

I'll throw it away.

Done. It was nice.

Having the cigar.

You just wasted money though.

[exhales] Hey, we used to be so broke

we could barely afford the buffets.

Now, we throw cigars away.

And now you're the champion. The winner!

[both laugh]

For real. [chuckles]

[chuckles]

It feels like yesterday we took down Kim Myeong-gil.

It's gone by so quickly.

[exhales]

What now?

Woo-jin,

should we go visit Mr. Choi's grave with the championship belt?

[poignant music playing]

Geez, you've grown up. Not like your coach.

- I know. - What?

I'm just playing!

[both laugh]

You've grown so much now you even know how to joke around.

- I learned that from you. - [both chuckle]

Do you know why I'm grateful to you?

- Huh? - Im, the loan shark.

When we went to borrow money from that guy, he said he'd lend it

if we became bloodhounds.

That was his stipulation.

[Im] Here's a first-tier loan of 100 million.

In exchange, you'll do some work for me.

I would probably be beating people up for money…

if you hadn't told me to leave when he asked us.

It's thanks to you, Gun-woo,

that this belt's here, with us.

[Gun-woo] No, not at all.

You're the reason.

You're why we're here now.

Without you, we wouldn't have been able to take down Kim Myeong-gil.

And also,

I wouldn't have been able to make it this far. Not if I stayed with Coach Kim.

It's all because of you that we're here,

and as champions of the world.

Retiring as a boxer and working as your coach

was the only decision

I could have done to change our lives.

But we're not stopping here. We're going onwards.

Let's be the champions of the universe.

[exhales]

Until we die together,

we'll say, "Ack!" together.

- Ack! - Ack!

Ack!

[laughs]

Time to turn them.

No, they got 30 more seconds of cooking left.

- Oh, just do it. - No way.

It's time. Just try.

[sighs]

Huh?

Well, what's this?

I put more charcoal when you weren't looking.

[So-yeon laughs]

- [Gun-woo] When did you do that? - [laughs]

[music fades]

- Thank you. - [man] Of course.

It's good.

[car door closes]

- [Min-beom] Grab two blue ones. - [man] Yes.

[poignant music playing]

- [Woo-jin] Hmm. - [Gun-woo] Mmm.

- Let's have the neck meat now. - [Gun-woo] Mm.

- Oh my! Well, hello. Good to see you. - Good evening, Ms. Yoon. Congratulations.

Hello, Ms. Yoon.

I'm sorry to bother you this evening.

Oh, no, no, you're always welcome. Come in! [chuckles nervously]

I was on a business trip.

I went to Taiwan and I thought of you, so I got you a little gift.

- I hope you don't mind. - Really? You shouldn't have. [gasps]

Oh, it's so generous.

Thank you so much.

It's something small, so accept it without obligation.

Oh, jeez.

You always make delicious food when I come here.

Oh my, you're always welcome here. Don't just stand there.

- Thanks. - [gasps]

- Gun-woo, Woo-jin! Min-beom's here. - Oh! Oh.

Congratulations!

- [Min-beom chuckles] - Look what I have!

- Oh, the belt! Wow, nice. - It's big.

I wanted to be there, but my trip got extended.

- I'm sorry. - [Gun-woo] I understand.

He clobbered his opponent in three rounds. It finished quickly.

That fast?

[music stops]

I've got good news myself.

- Let's have a drink? - Sounds good.

Great. [chuckles]

- [Min-beom] Well done, you two. - [all] Cheers!

[upbeat music playing]

- [Min-beom] Drink all that at once? - [exhales]

[meat sizzles]

[Min-beom] Cheers!

[chuckles]

[gasps happily]

[Min-beom] Cheers!

[blows] Ha.

Mmm!

[sighs]

IIL SEOUL HOSPITAL AERIAL RENDERING

[music fades]

Whoa.

My new approved project.

It's four floors underground, ten floors above ground.

When our nonprofit grows more,

this is where I'll build the pediatric hospital.

Once we build that,

we'll name the hospital

Tae-ho Pediatric Clinic, after Mr. Choi.

[poignant music playing]

That's so freaking cool.

I know. [laughs]

[all laugh]

Min-beom, Gun-woo,

let's all raise our glasses for those who aren't here.

Friends in heaven?

Let's say,

"Thanks for everything."

Yes. Mm.

[all] Thanks for everything.

[exhales]

[Min-beom] Yes, thank you.

[ominous music playing]

Where are we going?

You will fight

to pay your debt.

Look at this.

Let's do it tomorrow.

Tomorrow, there will be a million-dollar interest.

Ah, fuck!

[laughs]

[tense music playing]

Take Adik.

The fighter's here.

[tense music builds]

Hey.

Put them in.

For real?

I can kill someone.

It happens.

[exhales]

- [clattering] - That's fucked up, man.

- [sighs] - [knife clicks]

You losing over $3 million in two hours in a poker game is fucked up.

We know where your daughter lives.

That's fucked up.

Pick that up.

Welcome to the Iron Knuckle Fighting Championship.

[breathes deeply]

[chuckles]

[suspenseful music playing]

[man] Go in. You two, wait over there.

Okay, let's go, LOL.

At last, the undisputed WBC super middleweight champion,

Adik Belov, just showed up at IKFC36.

The showdown between the Hunter and Bulldozer's about to begin!

So better get the bets ready 'cause we're about to go down!

[rock music playing]

[music fades]

[man] We've passed 300 million.

We've now gone past 400 million. Our commission will be 12 million.

- How much is my amount? - Well, more than if you were sleeping.

Say exactly how much, motherfucker.

[tense music playing]

At least, maybe, three times more than before.

- [music fades] - [exhales sharply]

[suspenseful music playing]

You motherfucker.

I needed to ask for more money.

'Cause you're too fucking easy!

Let's start this.

[music stops]

Let's fight!

[grunts]

[both huffing]

[both grunting]

[tense music playing]

[heaving]

[men grunt]

- Ah! - [grunting]

[groaning]

[both grunting]

[yells in pain]

[groans]

[Belov groans]

Destroying Adik now.

Oh, shit. Look at Adik's face!

- He's bitching! [laughs] - [laughs]

[fighters grunting]

[bones crack]

[music fades]

[panting heavily]

Cameras off.

[tense music playing]

Cameras off now.

- [wet blows thudding] - [blood splattering]

[exhales]

How much did I make?

Twelve times more than before.

Bring me the one who beat the idiot.

[man] Okay, will do.

[music fades]

Did you find anything useful there?

I'm able to hear a pulse.

I think I can get some things.

What about his heart?

His heartbeat sounds good. It must be because he's a fighter.

How much can I get?

Fifty million won for the heart. Double that for the kidneys.

That sounds very good.

- [man] Move over. - [ominous music playing]

- [knife slices] - [blood burbles]

[man in white coat] Hey. How can I sell him if you kill him? Hey!

[tense music playing]

[man sighs]

We're not gonna sell body parts this way.

It'll leave evidence.

He wants his next fighter. It'll be Kim Gun-woo.

[music fades]

Two, three.

[gentle piano music playing]

- Have you been exercising? - Yes.

Okay, that's awesome.

Try it on your own without my help.

You're going to straighten your fingers.

A little bit more. Keep trying.

You're doing it. Put more strength into it.

- You're doing great. A bit more. - [Tae-yeong breathes heavily]

- [physiotherapist] Keep trying. Very good. - [breathes heavily]

- The kimchi's in there? - Yeah. I put it right there.

Good, I see it. Yeah.

Try to straighten your fingers all the way.

Good. A little bit more. You're doing well.

Just a little bit more.

- How about a little straighter? - [breathes heavily]

[physiotherapist] Do it with two fingers at a time, starting with these two.

Straighten them. Let's see if you can do it all the way.

A little bit straighter.

- [music stops] - Have a good rest of your day.

- She's coming. - [Tae-yeong] Thank you.

Hey. [chuckles] Congrats on winning the championship.

[Gun-woo] Thank you.

Today, we brought you… jangjorim.

Gun-woo's mom packed a lot.

Perfect, I finished up all of my other food. I'll enjoy this.

[Woo-jin] Ready to go?

- Let's go to the supermarket now? - Great.

[Tae-yeong clears throat]

- [Woo-jin] The button. For the elevator. - [Gun-woo] Right, sorry.

[Tae-yeong] President Hong has been asking me to work for him.

He knows my hands aren't as fast as before,

but I can still do the work.

[Woo-jin] Oh.

He said, next month, I can start on the ninth floor of the Iil Group building.

- Oh. - Oh.

Is the work similar to what you did for the police?

I tracked for the Cyber Investigation Unit. Cyber crimes.

My work at Iil Group is to protect and secure their information network

from viruses and potential computer crackers.

Oh, crackers.

What are crackers?

You get sick from them. It's bad.

- Oh. - [Tae-yeong laughs]

They're hackers with no good intent.

- Hmm. - So bad hackers.

Hmm.

Oh, did we go by the toilet paper aisle already?

- Looks like we did. I'll get it. - See you soon.

[Gun-woo] Okay.

Woo-jin, could I talk to you about something for a second?

I'm all ears.

[Tae-yeong chuckles]

- So? - [Tae-yeong chuckles]

I really appreciate how you guys help me like this every week.

It's just, well,

you really don't have to,

because there's no need for you to feel guilty about me at all.

I was on duty as a police officer. It wasn't anyone's fault I got this hurt.

I'm fine to do things on my own now. [laughs awkwardly]

[poignant music playing]

Dear Tae-yeong,

we've never told you this before.

Gun-woo and I have a rule we created together.

And what rule is that?

Once you become family,

you'll always be family.

We protect our family

with our lives to the end.

Together, for real.

It goes without saying,

Tae-yeong is

with us forever.

[Tae-yeong sniffles]

I… I'm sorry. [sniffles]

You can call us.

We're here for you always.

We're the Marine duo.

We're at your service.

- Dear Tae-yeong. - [chuckles] I will.

- [Tae-yeong sniffles] - Ack.

[cries]

[sighs] Tae-yeong.

[Tae-yeong cries]

[Woo-jin] Huggies.

[Tae-yeong crying]

[sighs]

[music fades]

They're dating! [gasps]

[giggles]

[ominous music playing]

[music fades]

[doorbell chimes]

Yes, who is it?

Good evening. We're friends of Gun-woo's.

I see. Well, Gun-woo isn't home and he may return late.

Oh, we're supposed to see each other. I might have come early.

Would it be okay if we waited inside?

[ominous music resumes]

We're friends because we go to the same gym.

I see.

We were at the same match where he won the title.

It's too bad we didn't say hi.

Is it okay if we wait inside? Because it's cold?

Oh, well, sure. Hold on while I let you in.

[device whirring]

[music fades]

That was fun.

[door closes]

[gasps]

[So-yeon] You're home.

- [Woo-jin] Mom, go upstairs. - [So-yeon] Why?

[Woo-jin] Please wait upstairs.

[ominous music playing]

Don't bother being brave. Take a seat.

I said sit.

Sit down and let's talk.

Who are you?

I'm running a boxing corporation called the IKFC.

I want you. You should join my league.

I know nothing about this league.

You wouldn't know because it's very private.

Private and successful, with a membership of four million worldwide.

You'd be a great addition to my roster.

Sounds like made-up nonsense.

IKFC?

It's a chicken place? We don't do fights with chickens.

[exhales]

What did you make fighting Adik? Hundred million?

Two hundred million won?

In IKFC, one match will pay you ten billion.

Ten billion won.

A billion just to accept.

[man 1 sighs] Gun-woo,

if you get hurt boxing, you'll be a cripple for life.

I know too many guys who got fucked.

Make the dough while you can. Hmm?

[exhales]

Just fight one match. The upcoming event. Your money worries will disappear.

With that much fucking money,

who in your family would even have to work?

You would take care of everybody.

[sighs]

[man 1] It's just one match.

[sighing] For fuck's sake.

[man 1 exhales]

Hey,

an extra five billion if you win? Hmm?

Fifteen billion won?

[scurried footsteps approach]

[Gun-woo] Mom.

Who wants that much money?

They said they were your friends from the gym. That's why I let them in.

What kind of people who lie so easily have money that's clean?

Dirty money always comes with a price, Gun-woo.

You have to go now and leave our house.

Hey, ma'am,

shut your fucking mouth.

[Woo-jin] You need to take your money and fuck off!

Sir.

Remember, we came here for a reason.

Let's go now.

Go fuck yourself.

[man 2] Shut up.

Shut up and fucking stay still. Got it?

[tense music playing]

Everyone always gives me what I want.

You and I are gonna fight together.

See you around.

[music fades]

We're fine. It's okay.

[So-yeon breathes shakily]

You'll bring me his fucking mom.

[sinister music playing]

[car door closes]

If the payment's upfront.

- [exhales] - [music fades]

They'll come back here for sure. We'll be ready for them.

We'll be ready so we can destroy them when they return.

[tense music playing]

Woo-jin… are you still in touch with Yang Jae-myeong?

That asshole knew the world of boxing. Let's ask Yang Jae-myeong.

Mm.

DIRT-DIGGER YANG

Well, well, well, it's been too long, hasn't it? [laughs]

Long time no see.

You ask and I give, again. I got you all, all, all the information. [laughs]

[Jae-myeong] What? It's not there? Really?

No, it's not.

These come directly from the Korean Boxing Association.

They fit the weight class and description you gave, so that's that.

Could you check one weight class below? Maybe his weight has changed.

Oh, you're right. That's the answer.

Give me a little longer and that info's all yours.

Oh, and also, do you have information on this group, IKFC?

I called the illegal fight clubs and no one has heard anything about IKFC.

It might not be in Korea. Maybe they're located abroad?

If you consider the name, it sounds international.

Worldwide. They did say they have four million members.

That many? Whoa, four million?

The stakes must be so big with that many millions in the group.

Please explain what exactly that means.

Well, think about it. That's four million people.

If they each put ten thousand won in, how much will that be?

Forty billion won, that's how much. Right? The fees must be outrageous too.

Thanks very much.

[music stops]

[somber music playing]

- Gun-woo. - [Gun-woo] Yes?

[Woo-jin] We might need help. We should ask the guys for it.

[Gun-woo] Like who?

Min-beom. Gang-yong. Moon Gwang-mu. Everyone.

I don't want any of them to get hurt because of me, Woo-jin.

[sighs]

Yeah, it hurts me, too, and I feel guilty. Especially about Tae-yeong.

Then we'll do it together, just the two of us.

We took Kim Myeong-gil down on our own.

We got him because we had help. The other guys were there with us.

Mm. Yes, we had help then.

But

can't we just try to do it on our own this time?

Hmm?

[music fades]

I've been thinking about how we can kidnap Gun-woo's mother.

[sinister music playing]

The four of them are serving life sentences in prison.

They all would be good.

They've got a grudge against Kim Gun-woo and his friend, Hong Woo-jin.

If we can get them out of prison,

we'll get relentless bloodhounds that will never give up.

Can we control them?

I see why you're concerned.

They won't have any choice but to rely on us

since they'll be wanted criminals.

And if they help us get the job done,

I'll throw a carrot and offer to help them to escape to somewhere abroad.

How much does that cost?

100 million won. For each person.

[sighs] Shitface. That's fucking expensive.

The profit's going to be more than ten times the cost.

You're full of shit.

[sinister music builds]

This one.

The one I would've picked.

There's a security company I always use whenever I have VIPs visiting from abroad.

The founders are former presidential security agents,

which means they're thorough.

But recently, their sales director and their CEO had a falling out.

By default, their hired hands haven't been paid for a very long time.

So what?

There's a small risk of things not going our way.

Well, especially because gangsters and ex-cons are rough.

So in case Ms. Yoon gets hurt, things could get really messy,

which isn't what we want.

So I recommend we use them,

even if it costs a little more extra.

[sighs] Shit, another way to get extra funds? Just handle it.

During jobs like these there are all sorts of variables that might happen.

That's why… you should go with a bloodhound who has our back.

That's a golden rule when I'm working.

No mistakes.

[music fades]

Thanks for the payment.

Hmm.

Will you get these for me?

GASOLINE, DDNP, SALTPETER NICHROME, DETONATOR, CELL PHONE

[chuckles]

There's no reason to go this far, Sergeant Yun.

I need to be ready, Mr. Lee.

[chuckles]

Well,

trust what I do.

I still need to be ready and prepared.

[laughs]

[sighs with relief]

[music fades]

[man] With this last one, you have eight in total.

It should be good.

- [Gun-woo] Thank you. - [Woo-jin] Gun-woo!

- You outside? - [Gun-woo] Yeah.

Adik's team is leaving today.

Yet, Adik has disappeared. He's gone missing.

[sighs]

UZBEK BOXER MISSING AFTER TITLE FIGHT. POLICE INVESTIGATING.

[breathes heavily]

[tense music playing]

I have a bad feeling, Woo-jin.

I think those assholes are behind this.

[music fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

[camera whirs]

Sir, this is the job?

It's just,

why do we have to stoop so low?

We're trained to protect.

[man 1] How does it help to say this now?

We agreed to do it.

Don't you understand we're about to go under?

We need to pay the other guys too.

Hey. They trusted us.

They worked hard and what did they get? Broken bodies.

- Yes, I know that, of course, but-- - [man 2] Jin-nam.

Stay in the car. We'll handle it.

[sighs] Mr. Jang, we can't finish the job with two.

Let's give it a go.

[tense music playing]

[laughs]

[beeping]

[man 3] Bingo.

FRONT DOOR

[lock clicks]

[outgoing call ringing]

Yes?

You can go in.

[Jang] Let's do it.

Oh, Mom!

[both grunt]

- [Woo-jin] Gun-woo! - [Gun-woo] They're taking her.

- My mom! - Mom!

Shit! You fucker!

[man groans]

[man grunts, yells]

[both grunting]

Gun-woo, are you okay?

[breathing heavily]

[Jin] Come on, let's go. Let's leave now.

[music fades]

- [Woo-jin] You okay? - [groans]

- Here. Can you get up? - No, my… My mom's there!

- [Gun-woo panting] - [tense music playing]

[groans]

[somber music playing]

[So-yeon breathes deeply]

Hello.

[tense music playing]

You watched the surveillance cam?

Not yet. I… I'll check it.

[camera clicking]

[Woo-jin] All four dressed the same.

All in black jackets, black pants, and black masks on their faces.

And they were all huge.

What do you mean when you say huge? How big were they?

All four of them seemed to be much bigger than both of us, for sure.

And two of them could easily have been 6'2", or taller.

They all looked like they worked out a lot.

And some knew karate.

And they had big batons which had Tasers on them.

Also, they had shoe covers on their feet.

Otherwise, have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?

[Woo-jin] Actually…

Mm. Go for it.

You see, some strangers came to our place three days ago.

They were like, Gun-woo had to join this professional boxing league they have.

IKFC was the name of the league.

It was a threat, not an invitation. Those two men were massive.

They even brought us a billion won to sign.

A billion?

They brought it.

So you believe this case is related to that?

I do, and I think they'd visit us again.

I checked the security footage and there's nothing suspicious.

Huh?

Just a few days ago we hooked that up.

You shouldn't listen to our conversation.

Yeah, well, I could hear you.

You were pretty loud.

[detective 1] Sorry about that. [clears throat]

Anyway, the screen doesn't show anything, and the time doesn't pause at all.

[detective 2] Thanks. You can leave.

Anything else to share?

Oh yeah. He fought in the WBC Championship last week.

- His opponent was-- - Oh yeah. The boxer. I knew it.

- Uh… yeah. - Wow!

- I'm honored. - Thanks.

I used to be a boxer when I was younger.

I watched your fight probably three times. [chuckles]

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

Okay then, please go on.

I read that the other fighter has gone missing.

That's weird, don't you think? So that might be linked.

That'll do for now.

Me and the team will start investigating right away.

Your house could be dangerous right now, so consider moving to another place.

Tell me, in your expert opinion, is a hotel safe enough for us?

Avoid unknown people and places.

[sighs] Where should we go then?

Tae-yeong's?

[tense music continues]

Hey, officer.

- How's it going? - [man 1] Hello.

- Hello. - [man 2] Hello, detective.

Right here is where the fire began.

You see that melted gasoline container? An improvised explosive device.

The detonator was likely triggered by a cell phone signal.

Hmm. And, uh, how knowledgeable does someone have to be to make this?

Hmm, a high-level EOD tech should be able to do this.

- Also, we found a wallet in the car. - Oh!

You have a…

- [man 2] Right here, detective. - Ah.

PEOPLE GUARD SECURITY MANAGER / BODYGUARD SON JIN-NAM

[music fades]

[gentle music playing]

- [Gun-woo] Thank you. - [officer] Of course.

Hey, Ma.

Are you okay?

[So-yeon] I'm fine.

I'm okay if both of you boys are okay.

We're okay for now, Mom.

They told us two more days for new windows.

That's fine. We can do this.

We must stick together through all of this.

[Gun-woo] Mm.

[tense music playing]

They're moving.

Take a right.

You sure they're coming here?

Yeah.

- [clamoring] - [music fades]

[ominous music playing]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[groaning]

[man 1] 2196!

- 2196! - [man 2] We need help over here!

- [man 1] 2196! Hey, hey! - [man 2] It's an emergency!

[music intensifies]

- [man 3] How long has he been unconscious? - [man 1] About ten minutes.

[man 3] Got it.

- [engine starts] - [siren wailing]

Why stop here? This place is abandoned.

[groans]

[gags, wheezes]

[blows thudding]

[guard groans, yells in pain]

[groans]

[grunts]

Ow! Shit!

[music fades]

[doorbell chiming]

Just a minute!

[gentle music playing]

- Well, hello! Welcome. - Tae-yeong.

This way. Careful. Welcome.

[Tae-yeong chuckles]

I'm sorry to intrude.

Don't feel bad. I think of all those wonderful dishes you prepared for me.

- This is my honor. - [exhales]

I'm just glad that I can be of assistance.

Sorry about the short notice. Thank you. Really.

It's nothing. My pleasure.

So you both can stay in this room. I'll get you some blankets.

Ms. Yoon, follow me.

And this will be your room.

My sister is in the States right now, and she's almost never here.

It's perfect.

- [Woo-jin] Tae-yeong. - Coming!

[So-yeon exhales]

I need a favor from you.

Can you help me with some research?

Yeah.

NO RESULTS FOUND FOR "IKFC"

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

NO RESULTS FOUND FOR "IKFC"

The dark web will know.

Dark web? What's that?

It's, uh…

The internet we know is just the tip of the iceberg,

and far beneath that surface is what is known as the dark web.

On the dark web, everyone is anonymous,

and criminals gather there and take advantage of that anonymity.

So, um, I'm not sure what you mean. How can you stay anonymous?

Uh, so when we're online, we leave an IP address behind,

which is digital proof.

When crimes occur online,

we can track the IP address to figure out the criminal's identity.

See, on the dark web, the IP address is encrypted,

and that's difficult to undo,

so it's nearly impossible to track the user.

Criminals take advantage and form a black market,

using Bitcoin to make their transactions.

Whoa. So much information.

Uh… [chuckles]

When we first met, I worked the cyber investigation unit,

searching for these dark websites so we can shut them down.

These sites I killed ran a variety of illegal businesses.

There were some smuggling drugs, selling IEDs and poisonous substances.

And some sites offered murder for hire.

What shocked me the most was that one site offered options on how to murder someone.

Options like how to torture, which acids are better,

staging a suicide, stuff like that.

I still remember the admin's handle. "M-A-N-J-I."

That's "manji," the spelling of the Buddhist symbol "man" in English.

Isn't that ironic?

Someone who kills for money using that name.

So I'm guessing I'll have more luck there.

[Tae-yeong exhales]

Here we are.

[music fades]

[Woo-jin] IKFC.

[heavy metal music playing]

How does the skin tear so easily?

[music fades]

What's the matter?

[sighs]

What? What?

Uh, well, it requires a credit card,

but you should never enter your credit card on the dark web.

Anyone there might steal and use that information.

Do you think you can hack in, or something like that?

Oh. If I do that, the admins of the site are able to see me,

and if they're faster than me,

they can hack this computer before I can break in here.

They could plant a virus and take full control of this computer.

There are hackers here, hanging out on the dark web,

who far surpass all my skills.

- Sorry about that. - No. No worries. Huh.

[quiet intriguing music playing]

[Gun-woo sighs]

[sighs]

So… we need a plan.

Oh yeah. A plan.

So we just have to avoid using our own cards. Isn't that right?

Oh, well, that'll work, for sure.

[sighs]

[exhales]

Woo-jin…

what if we ask our Marine superior?

Mr. Moon Gwang-mu?

Wait a minute. A mule card? Is that what you're thinking?

Mule cards are created by stealing identities.

Whoever owns the card would definitely be in trouble.

[music fades]

What about a dead person?

Uh,

well, if you do that,

then you can't tell me.

Yeah.

Hey.

Yeah?

I'm thinking you stay behind and take care of Tae-yeong and your mother.

- What? Why? - [Woo-jin] Who knows what'll happen?

Okay? I'll meet up with our old Marine superior.

Mm. I got it.

[sighs]

[quiet ominous music playing]

He's moving now.

Who? Gun-woo?

[hacker] No. The other guy.

[tires squeal]

[tires squealing]

[music fades]

[gasps]

[breathes shakily]

In-beom, hello.

Hi. I'm responsible for getting you out of prison.

Thanks for accepting my offer.

From now on, we work together to kill Kim Gun-woo.

[quiet ominous music playing]

I'm confused. Didn't you accept the offer?

[sighs]

You're placing me in a tough position.

[exhales]

Hey.

Listen carefully.

There's absolutely nothing within ten kilometers of here.

So if you leave this place, I'll call the police.

[snarls quietly]

The police will likely show up in ten minutes.

You might be fast,

but I doubt you can sprint 10K that fast.

[breathes heavily]

I can drive a car.

[laughing]

[laughing]

And where are you going, tough guy?

Well? Stupid son of a bitch!

Oh!

Fuck you!

[henchman 1] You're going down, asshole! [grunting]

Come here, fucker!

[both grunting]

[In-beom grunts]

[tense music playing]

[In-beom growls]

[In-beom growls]

[henchman 2] Hey! Hey! I got you now! [groans]

[grunts] Fucking bastards! You fuckers!

[henchman 4 screaming in pain]

[hair ripping]

[screams] Ah!

- [dull thud] - Okay, motherfuckers, who's next?!

[henchman 4 whimpering]

[In-beom growls]

[sighs] They're all idiots.

[laughing]

[man] You weak fucking bastards. Get the fuck up!

Right now!

Get on your feet!

[laughs]

[grunting]

[In-beom growls]

[In-beom groans]

[In-beom groans]

[In-beom growls]

[breathes heavily]

[In-beom breathes heavily]

Go for it. I'll kill you.

- [tense music builds] - [In-beom grunting]

[In-beom growling]

[groaning]

[music fades]

[In-beom groans]

[both breathe heavily]

Ugh, that's fucking great.

[snarls, heaves]

Hey.

Hey.

I thought this little bitch was weak, but he isn't.

But you did learn how to box the wrong way.

I'm gonna make cash off Kim Gun-woo.

You can earn some too.

You understand?

[cackling]

Choke on this one. [laughing]

[laughter continues]

[In-beom groans]

[exhales]

Ten… Hut!

[exhales]

[quiet intriguing music playing]

Ten… hut!

At ease.

- At ease. - 1216 Class Marine Hong Woo-Jin.

Ack!

This Marine is extremely proud of our fellow junior Marines.

Not because of the boxing title shot!

Before Gun-woo became the champ,

our junior Marines remained strong and stuck together,

which shows the true Marine spirit.

It's the process that I'm proudest of. Understand?

Ack!

[chuckles]

Now, come here!

[laughing] So great to see you. How's it been?

Wow, your face looks like it's seen too much action.

[laughing] You punk.

[Mr. Moon chuckles]

- They came up to your home? - Yes.

Oh. Shit, their intel is far superior to our military.

They brought a billion won just for signing.

- One billion? - [Woo-jin] Yes.

They offered 15 billion if he only fought just one time.

Just one fight.

Wow, 15 billion won for one fight.

[lighter clicks]

For that huge price,

I assume it can't only be here in Korea.

That's right. The site says there are over four million members worldwide.

Four million members? How do they air it?

Well, sir, it's on the dark web now.

Let me explain. So the Internet that we use, it's, uh…

- It's like the tip of an iceberg-- - Yeah, I know it. Mm.

All right. Dark web.

Honestly, I only found out about it just now.

Okay, so they show all of these matches on the dark web.

And the viewers bet on the fights, right?

That seems right.

So… if they can get a real champion like Gun-woo…

Oh yeah.

I'm sure that underground boxing world

would be a massive powerhouse in all sports.

And why?

Because just our boy alone would hold up this league.

Doesn't matter if it's a billion or 15 billion won.

They'd invest a ton of money, knowing that in the long run, it'll only grow.

I hear you.

So…

What kind of help can I bring to the table?

To access their website, you need to sign up for a membership.

It's the only way.

And you sign up with a credit card only.

That means personal information can be leaked--

A mule card is a must for this.

You're one step ahead of us all of the time.

[chuckles]

- Sun-bo, hey! - Yes?

Uh, could you bring over to me three mule cards?

- [Sun-bo] Yes. - Those fancy elite ones.

Yes.

That's that.

[chuckles] Have some more coffee.

Great.

Here. Use them freely.

[music fades]

It's much appreciated, sir.

And who's helping you with all this right now then?

[Woo-jin] Good question. For now,

Gun-woo and I are all by ourselves.

[laughing] Oh. Oh, come on.

If they're as big as I think, then you both are going to be outmanned.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Sure, it's difficult.

But after beating Kim Myeong-gil, we're much stronger.

[laughs]

I'm not so sure that you two are that much stronger.

It seems obvious to me.

Why not ask me to come along and help?

[Woo-jin] Sir, we thought about that.

And we'd be uncomfortable.

It's way more trouble for you and your team this time.

Are you still Marine Hong Woo-jin?

Yes, I'm still Marine Hong Woo-jin, sir.

Did you forget?

A blow to one Marine is a blow to all Marines.

Right? I can't sit around and do nothing while you boys are in trouble.

[poignant music playing]

What would President Choi in heaven think of me?

I would be a big disgrace.

That's not how I was trained.

Being a superior has responsibilities.

Two is better than only one.

Add one more…

Three is better, right?

Take it.

Your superior

is on board with you.

[chuckles]

No flinching! You've still got it.

[both chuckle]

Wait. You came by yourself?

Yes. Gun-woo's with his mother.

Ah. You silly, naive boy.

- Did anyone follow you here? - [gasps]

- [Mr. Moon] I don't believe this! - Oh. Right.

They came to your house to find you. Think they'd stop at that?

[tense music playing]

- That your car? - [Woo-jin] Yes.

New plan.

Drive around the neighborhood, and after a few blocks, come back around.

Let's find out what we're up against. Copy that?

[man] He's back.

- Sun-bo. - [Sun-bo] Yes?

Get a pen.

Yes.

One, four, three, nine, two, two, nine, zero.

[music intensifies]

Weren't we just here?

No.

One, four, three nine. Right?

- The Hyundai. - Yes.

Where to now?

Woo-jin. Don't look back.

I want you to keep going. Where else have you been today?

So first we were at Gun-woo's mother's house.

Now Tae-yeong's place.

First, call Gun-woo. Get him to take his mother somewhere new.

We don't know when these thugs might return.

I'm gonna text you an address. See if they'll follow you there.

Then we can beat 'em up.

[music stops]

WOO-JIN

- Oh, hey. - Listen carefully.

You have to move calmly and quickly.

[breathes deeply] Mm-hmm.

You must get Tae-yeong and your mother out of that place right now.

Why?

Because we're being followed.

[breathes deeply]

You need to take Tae-yeong with you.

Because of us, she's in trouble too.

Mm. Mm. Got it.

What's up with you now?

Mr. Moon and I will find the bastard who's been harassing and following us.

Keep your mother safe, okay? And Tae-yeong too.

Mm. Okay.

And where should we go now?

So there's Min-beom. Our best choice.

I can't think of anyone else right now. We need to act fast.

Mm. On it.

[Woo-jin] Good. Be careful.

[somber music playing]

[breathes deeply]

MIN-BEOM

[inhales]

[outgoing call ringing]

[electronic voice] The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

Hmm.

[breathes deeply]

Tae-yeong.

So I'm really, really sorry about this.

It turns out that we've put you in danger.

It seems like the men after us followed us here as well.

Oh.

So it's dangerous for me here too?

Yeah.

They could be here any minute.

I'll pack now.

- I'm really sorry. - [Tae-yeong] It's okay.

[exhales]

[So-yeon] So where are we going now?

Uh, well…

[exhales] Gun-woo, it's okay. I'll find us a place to move.

[So-yeon exhales]

[cell phone buzzes]

[cell phone buzzes]

Hello?

Gun-woo? Hello, this is Cho Won-yeong. I'm President Hong's assistant.

Oh! Yes, hi there.

Unfortunately, President Hong is in an important meeting

with dignitaries from overseas.

But he asked me to phone you right away.

What message can I pass on?

It's a very private matter.

Whatever you say will remain private. I promise that.

My loved ones

are in big trouble.

My mother

really needs a safe place to stay right now.

You can bring your mother right away to our building, Mr. Kim.

We'll make sure to have guards on standby. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Okay. Well, actually…

So if it's at all possible, a motor… motorcycle would help.

I have to save Woo-jin, and traffic at this time makes that harder.

[Won-yeong] We can do that. Any particular type of motorcycle?

Uh, a fast one. It doesn't matter. I can ride anything.

[Won-yeong] Then you'll have the fastest one at our disposal.

I appreciate it.

[groans]

[breathing deeply]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

- Tell me what's up. - Yeah…

What?

- They're on the run. - What?

They're all moving out right now.

Who is?

Gun-woo, his mom, and that chick in the wheelchair.

What do we do?

[outgoing call ringing]

What?

Sir, I'm bringing in Hong Woo-jin, not his mom. Okay?

- [sighs] Yeah so? - [man] I need backup and a location.

Send help his way.

Of course.

[Won-yeong] Welcome.

Thanks, hello. I so appreciate you looking after Tae-yeong and my mother.

- Give them a hand. - Yes, of course.

- You have that motorcycle? - It's right over there.

- Will this work? - Yeah.

WOO-JIN

Be careful.

[Gun-woo] I will.

[motor revving]

Where are you, Woo-jin?

I'm at an intersection near a school. Waiting for the light to change.

The auto shop is just after the light.

[Gun-woo] Got it. On my way now.

[suspenseful music continues]

[cell phone buzzes]

LEE DONG-HYEON MANAGER

Yeah.

There's a factory five minutes away from you. It's remote and very quiet.

Send the address.

Here it comes. And we're sending reinforcements.

[grunts] That crazy fucker!

What the fuck is happening?

[grunts]

This stupid motherfucker just took off. I'll send a new address.

[suspenseful music continues]

[breathing shakily]

[tense music playing]

Was it you, you fucker?

Ah, shit.

[grunts] Let go of me!

- [bone cracks] - [yells in pain]

Hey, let go!

[dramatic rock music playing]

[Woo-jin] Let go!

[yells] Ah!

[both straining]

No, wait, don't! [groans] Oh shit.

[Woo-jin yells, grunts]

[Woo-jin] Sir! You okay?

Do I look okay? I have a massive hole in my head.

No, it's not so bad.

- It's like an open faucet. - A Marine's blood is sweat.

A Marine's blood is…

Shut the fuck up, man.

Ack!

[tense music playing]

[groans]

Uh, sir…

That's enough of their bullshit.

- [knife slices] - [wincing]

[both grunting]

[Mr. Moon straining]

[both grunting]

[music intensifies]

[both grunting]

Woo-jin!

[yells]

What is it? Drop it, you bastard!

Damn it. Let go!

[groans]

[groans]

[groans]

[Woo-jin groaning]

[strains] You fucker!

- [knife slices] - [cries out] Oh!

- [Woo-jin yelling in pain] - [blood burbles]

[whispers] I told you to shut up.

[grunting]

- [growls] - [Woo-jin wheezes, groans]

Sir, come on!

Hey!

- [knife slices] - [Woo-jin groans]

[yelling in pain] Ah!

[groans] Ah!

[Mr. Moon yells]

[grunting]

[Woo-jin] Okay.

[panting]

You okay?

Yes. Except for my left hand.

No. You're fine. You told me that a Marine's blood is sweat.

A reservist's blood… is blood only.

[chuckles]

- Let's get this asshole in the car. - Of course.

[car approaches]

- Wait. - [Mr. Moon] What?

[tense music playing]

Who is that?

What's up now?

I don't think they're here to congratulate us.

- Mr. Moon. - Yeah?

We should leave.

- [man 1] Hey! Stop! Catch those fuckers! - [man 2] Get over there!

[indistinct shouting]

- Go, go, go, go! - [man 3] You're dead, you hear me?

[indistinct shouting]

This way!

This way. Let's go up!

[grunts]

[man 2] Don't let them get away!

[Mr. Moon groans]

- Oh fuck! - [man 2] Get him!

[man 1] Go! Hurry up! Let's go!

[man 4] Get him until he talks!

Now go, go, go!

[Mr. Moon grunting]

[man 5] Son of a bitch!

Come on!

Woo-jin, I got this. You go ahead!

Ack!

[man 2] Get him!

[man 4] Fuck you, you fucking asshole!

[weapon clatters]

[panting]

[music subsides]

Shit.

- [man 3] Get up there. - [man 5] He's getting away!

- Don't let him get away! - [Woo-jin] Oh, fuck. Fuck!

- [man 5] Go, go, go! Move! - [man 3] Go, go, go!

[dramatic music playing]

[yells]

[man 3] Oh man.

[panting]

[man 1] We got him.

Ow, fuck! Block it!

- Why won't you die? - [man 6] It's all over.

Ah, shit! Come and get me!

[man 2] Move! Go around!

Oh, fuck. They're not wasting any time.

[man 1] Oh, shit.

- [man 7] You're fucking dead! - [man 6] I can't wait to fucking kill you.

[man 7] Just keep on running.

- You're fucking mine! - [man 8] Hey, you son of a bitch!

[Woo-jin] Oh shit!

[indistinct shouting]

- [gasps] Whoa! - [man 3] What are you gonna do?

Huh? What the fuck are you doing falling over?

Stupid idiot.

- Hey, you go. - [man 4] I got it.

- [man 3] Who's next? - [man 2] Go!

See you back here!

[man 3] Let's go!

[man 2] Get at him!

- Come on! - [man 3] Get his head!

[man 2] Come on!

[loud thud]

Good! Get him!

[weapon clatters]

- [music slows] - [slow-motion grunting]

- [grunts] - [Woo-jin groans]

[somber music playing]

[man 2] Come on, let's go!

[men shouting]

- [man 2] Come on! You like that? Fucker. - [man 3] Stay down!

Take that!

- [men clamoring] - [groaning]

[man 3] I got the face.

[both grunting]

[grunting] Ah! Ah!

[coughs]

- [Mr. Moon groans] - [music stops]

[tense music playing]

[indistinct muttering]

[man 2] Oh God, that fucking hurts!

Shit.

- Fuck that. - Who the hell is that guy?

- What are you looking at? - [man 5] Wanna end up like this?

- [man 6] Ow, my fucking back. - [man 7] Get out of here, boy. Bitch.

- [man 2] Huh? - [man 4] Fucking pipe.

Fucking idiot.

[man 2] Nerve of this guy.

[man 7] Huh. Who the fuck are you?

[music intensifies]

[deep breaths echoing]

[dramatic music playing]

[both grunting]

Who the fuck do you think you are?

- [man 7 groans] - Let's go, pretty boy.

Pretty motherfucker, let's go.

Yeah, bring it.

[all grunting]

[clattering]

- [clattering] - [grunting continues]

[man 8] Come on. Get him!

[man 3] You can't take all of us. Stop this.

What the fuck?

[clattering]

[all grunting]

[clattering]

[clattering]

[man 1] Son of a bitch!

[man 4] Fucking bastard!

- Take this! - [clattering]

- [clattering] - You motherfucker.

[tense music playing]

[groans] Ah!

Wow, you really know how to fight.

- [yelps] - [clattering]

[groaning]

[cries out] Ah!

[grunting]

[groaning]

- [punches thudding] - [groans softly]

Gun-woo.

[Gun-woo grunts]

Gun-woo!

[music fades]

Hey, listen!

[poignant music playing]

Woo-jin!

You okay?

[exhales] It's all good.

Wow.

Shit, that looks bad.

Yeah?

A Marine needs help.

- Oh. - [Mr. Moon coughs]

- [coughs] - Sir!

- I'm okay. - [Gun-woo] Yeah?

[Mr. Moon breathes shakily]

We should leave here.

- Yeah. - [groans]

Let's go.

[groaning]

[man 2] What was that?

[thugs muttering, groaning]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

[Gun-woo] Mom,

I'm at the ER.

Mr. Moon and Woo-Jin got hurt.

I'm waiting for them.

Are they okay?

Yes.

Woo-jin's hand's been cut up.

Mr. Moon got a deep gash on his forehead.

Oh, that's bad.

- [poignant music playing] - [whispers] It's all my fault.

They're hurt because of me.

[So-yeon] You can't blame yourself.

Don't even think of it that way.

It's how the world works sometimes.

MIN GANG-YONG

Things like this happen without reason.

But…

SIR, GUN-WOO NEEDS HELP

…even in the worst moments, when it all feels lost,

a good opportunity sometimes reveals itself.

[Gun-woo sighs]

I should have done what they wanted me to do.

No one would've gotten hurt.

That's all I keep thinking about.

No one would expect you to fight with them like that.

That's why everyone's helping you, Gun-woo.

I would've preferred being the one who got hurt. [sobs]

[So-yeon] Gun-woo,

what would you have done if Woo-jin said he was going to do that fight?

You would've stopped him no matter what.

Come on.

Everyone feels that way too.

And that's why

you've got to hang in there.

Hold on for a bit more because it will pass.

Good things will happen again.

[exhales]

[sniffles]

Mm.

Gun-woo,

you've got this.

Hmm.

[music fades]

[doctor] This will take a moment.

It's going to sting for a little longer

and then I'll numb it.

[gasps] Wait, wait, just hold on a sec.

- Doctor, could you… - [doctor] Yes?

Could you make it as nice as possible please?

Thanks.

[poignant music playing]

- [Mr. Moon yelps] - [doctor] It'll sting a little bit more.

[Mr. Moon] Stop, please! [yelping]

- [groaning] - [doctor] A bit longer.

- [Mr. Moon whimpering] - [doctor] Okay, we're done.

[machine beeping]

[nurse] How's your pain level, sir?

[Woo-jin] It's fine. Nothing I can't take.

My stomach was stabbed twice before and I recovered from that quickly.

Oh, um, uh…

Are you in a gang? You're a gangster?

Oh no.

I'm a boxer. I fight.

I'm not a gangster or involved in any gangs.

- No. - Okay.

It's been, uh…

I haven't fought in a fight or in a boxing match

for a long time.

Now with my hand like this, I can't fight.

Oh.

Well, you shouldn't fight, like, ever.

No. I gotta.

It's what I do.

Your hand's damaged and you can't use it.

Respectfully, if I, Hong Woo-jin,

can't ever fight,

I'll just be a big nobody.

I'm a boxer.

The Invincible Southpaw.

Then you should fight.

You need to.

Good luck! Yes!

Yes, I've got to fight.

[sniffs]

[Gun-woo] Sir, how are you?

Ah, what a question. This here is nothing.

The doctor carefully put some stitches, that's all.

I doubt I'll need any kind of plastic surgeon. She was detailed.

She made such lovely, precise stitches.

If it is a mess,

you'll be my plastic surgeon and we'll have to fix it.

- We can't have that. - Yes.

Without my looks, I'm a body without a head. [chuckles]

Oh, wait a minute You're my doctor.

- Yes? - [Mr. Moon] Let me help you.

If you need money, let me know. I'll lend it to you for nothing.

- Oh. - [chuckles] Ah, thanks.

- [doctor] Mm. - [chuckles] Have a good day. [sighs]

[chuckles] All right.

[winces] Oh, shit, my head hurts.

It's my fault you got hurt.

I'm really very sorry.

Hey there.

No, have you been crying?

Oh. [sniffs]

[Mr. Moon] Come on, stop that.

Your iron fists are lethal weapons,

but, my friend, your heart's soft.

I have a soft heart.

Will you pinkie promise me this?

This right here. You need to toughen up your heart.

It has to be hard like your fists.

This way, the people around you won't get hurt.

Okay.

- Oh, I see him. - Right.

Hey, Woo-jin.

[sighs]

Oh, damn. They haven't started to fix up your hand?

They told me to wait for an hour.

They want some specialist here. The wound is quite deep.

It's good they can fix it.

Get it fixed without drugs.

Tell them not to pump you up with any anesthetics.

- I should get stitches without meds? - [Mr. Moon] Yes.

Listen to me carefully. The meds hurt so much more.

They put six injections in my head. This was for four stitches.

I cried so much. It's like not getting the principal or the interest back.

GANG-YONG

[Woo-jin] I still think I should get anesthetic.

[Mr. Moon] I'm telling you, it'll be worse if you get it.

[Woo-jin] Let me decide.

- [Mr. Moon] Fine, then. Okay. - [phone buzzing]

[Mr. Moon] I'll bring you a teddy bear, just in case.

Hi, Gang-yong.

Where are you, our champion?

Uh…

[Gang-yong] I'm headed to Min-beom's company.

I'm not sure what's happening, but there's nothing much to worry about. Okay?

We're all going to figure this out.

You know that?

[Gun-woo] Yes, sir.

[tense electronic music playing]

BLOODHOUNDS 2

[music fades]

[gentle music playing]

Oh, wow. How are you doing?

Fine. Thanks for meeting with us.

I'm sorry. Who is this?

Ah. This is Mr. Moon. He's a senior Marine to me.

He helped us take down Kim Myeong-gil.

Hello, I'm Moon Gwang-mu. I heard how you've both helped. Nice to meet you all.

- Hong Min-beom. Welcome. - Thank you. It's a huge honor.

I'm the Senior Inspector of Major Crimes Division of Seoul's Police.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Min.

Sir, that's Tae-yeong.

- Of course, I know who she is. - [chuckles]

I helped her move the IKEA desk last year.

You know this, right?

Oh, yes, I know it. Woo-jin was helping too.

- Oh, good. - Let's all sit down and talk.

- [Gun-woo] Right. Please. - After you.

If you don't mind me asking,

can you tell me what do you do for a living?

[chuckles] Oh, uh, yes. I run a small…

It's a loan company.

I run a very small company that helps others in need.

[chuckles awkwardly] I'm a… I'm a small business owner.

[Mr. Moon chuckles awkwardly]

[Min-beom clears throat]

Yes, well… the business was something I learned from Mr. Choi.

I know how you feel about loan sharks and operators,

but I never do anything against my conscience. I wouldn't do that.

- It's Gwang-mu, right? - Yes.

Since I'm a police officer, I have to do my job. Even if you're a friend.

And even if I appreciate how you're helping Gun-woo.

You understand?

Yes, I do. [chuckles nervously]

Now, who's investigating who broke into your house?

A detective at the Incheon Police station.

Give me his number. And also, if something like that happens again, give me a call.

I can help out quicker.

I will.

LEE WOO-JEONG CLASS 39

I'm sorry, this is an urgent call.

[Mr. Moon] Sure.

Yes, Woo-jeong?

[Woo-jeong] Sir, you arrested Kang In-beom in 2021, is that right?

Yes, why?

[Min-beom] Gun-woo,

I've been thinking about where I can take your mother to be safe and comfortable.

Well, I wish our hotel was finished with construction.

My friend owns the Marriott in Seoul Times Square.

She'll have a room. And a security team for her there.

Don't worry about her. I'll make sure she's safe.

[sighs] It's too much for me to accept.

What did you tell us when we almost gave up last time?

[Gun-woo] Like they say,

it's not over until it's over for real.

We survived, and it's because you didn't give up. It's nothing. Accept this.

I still owe you a lot more.

Your mother must be in shock.

So then, let's take good care of her.

We'll do our best.

Thanks.

[Gang-yong] This afternoon,

a prisoner escaped.

Kang In-beom broke out.

[ominous music playing]

No!

They're trying to figure out what's happened by tracking his location, but

it doesn't look good at all.

[exhales]

[exhales]

- I told you to bring him to me. - I'm very sorry.

Yeah, you fucker.

What the fuck do I pay you 300 million for?

I'm very sorry.

I like orphans. Want me to make your daughter one?

I'm so very sorry.

Get it done.

Okay.

This fucking idiot.

[door closes]

[exhales]

[man] Kang In-beom.

Must be nice being out of prison.

[sighs]

So, then,

you've given it some thought?

[sighs]

Let's work together.

Money will never be a worry for you.

[sighs]

[exhales]

[Gang-yong] Kang In-beom has a big vendetta against us.

- He can easily be coerced to fight. - [pensive music playing]

That's why they had him escape.

Those bastards think he'll take a leash. He's a wild dog and nothing can tame him.

What worries me more is…

how were they able to break him out? That's very hard to do in Korea.

They said it was done very meticulously as well.

They must have an expert.

If they can do this, will Kim Myeong-gil get out too?

[sighs] Min-beom, please.

Kim Myeong-gil? There's no way they can get him out. He's on an island.

That prison's impossible to infiltrate. He's locked up forever.

[Min-beom sighs]

[Gang-yong] They're gonna keep a tighter watch over Myeong-gil and the others.

Believe me, you don't have to worry.

Hmm. Okay.

I remembered

there's something I need to tell you.

What is it?

When I was at the Cyber Investigation Unit,

there were some dark websites.

One had mostly contract killings.

It also broke people out of prison for a fee.

Do you think, since this group is on the dark web

and we didn't catch the operator back then, we messed up?

[sighs]

If you don't have plans for me, should I… Well… I…

I can start by looking for the gang who fought us.

What are you talking about?

[laughs] You know, the gang who fought me and Woo-jin.

And so?

Oh, to help, of course. I know a lot of people who know people. Huh?

Well, first of all, let me investigate this through lawful procedures.

Mr. Min,

I don't just do things illegally. I'm a man who follows most laws.

I'll be the judge of that.

Right? So do nothing, please. Stay put for now.

Hyung.

[sighs]

It's late. Let's take his mother to Seoul Times Square hotel.

That would be great.

[sighs]

[man 1] You motherfucker. Give me the money, you fucking asshole!

Why are you asking me?

[ominous music playing]

Shit. Fuck this, man.

Hey, mister. Those assholes are professional boxers.

You fucking assholes, you should've told me! Fuck.

[man 2] Hey.

- First of all, calm down. - You fucking calm down!

Yeah? Good, moving on.

See this Band-Aid?

It covers a big scar, so I'll need to get plastic surgery for this.

Where's my money?

We'll talk outside. Just the two of us.

Stop fucking around and give me my money!

[groans]

[groans, breathes shakily]

[man 1 coughs]

[sinister music playing]

[grunts] You fucker!

[grunts] Let go of me, asshole!

[groans]

[blood squelches]

Wait, wait, I'm sorry.

I'm so fucked!

[breathes shakily]

[man 1 sobbing]

D… don't kill me!

[man 1 sobbing]

[gasps]

[man 3] Bite down.

- [whimpering] - [man 3] I said bite down.

Please, give me another chance.

Bite down, motherfucker!

[whimpering]

[sinister music builds]

[teeth crack]

[music quietens]

[sighs]

[water running]

Man-bae.

Man-bae!

Get rid of this fucker with your own money.

- Got it? - Yes.

- Tell the guys to come up here. - Will do.

[gentle music playing]

Ms. Yoon. This is your security personnel.

- Your team leader and deputy leaders. - [So-yeon] Nice to meet you.

I'm Joo Ji-uk. I'll make sure we keep you safe at this hotel.

I'm Ryu Gyeong-nam.

Thank you very much for helping us this late.

[manager] You must be tired from your trip.

We've prepared the safest room for you.

It's late. Go get some rest.

- I'm so thankful. - Mm.

I'm also thankful.

- Sleep well. - I will.

[exhales]

Thank you very much.

Ms. Yoon and Tae-yeong, right this way.

And Gun-woo, your room is that way.

Thank you.

If you need anything, please let us know.

- Yes. Thank you again. - Good night.

[sighs]

Thank you so much.

- [knocking on door] - [exhales]

- [Woo-jin] Gun-woo. - Hey!

[door closes]

How you feeling?

[chuckles] Well, my nerves and tendons are good.

And my palm's thick. The skin's thick. It'll heal.

[exhales]

[tearfully] I really wish I'd gotten there sooner.

I'm sorry.

Kim Gun-woo, hey! What are you saying? What makes you so sorry?

I didn't get stabbed in the gut like last time.

I only got a cut on my palms. That's nothing.

It's a big deal, so never say that.

I'm fine. I'll be better after I eat. [chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

My stomach! Room service, please?

[music fades]

- Mr. Moon, are you okay? - Of course I am! It's nothing serious.

- Oh. Uh, I looked into what you wanted. - And?

There's this gang formed by guys born in 1999.

They all have a Grenadier.

It's a British off-road vehicle they must like to drive.

Yeah, the off-road vehicles. Those bastards have got to be them.

- Where do the bastards hide out? - It's right by Yongsan.

[intriguing music playing]

Oh, wow. You found it so fast. Just like that.

- I knew you'd want to know. That's all. - [chuckles]

Your work ethic is so admirable.

So then, what do you think I have to do now?

- Drink coffee? - [Mr. Moon] Go get it.

[Mr. Moon chuckles]

[poignant music playing]

[sighs]

DU-YEONG

I'm so fucking pissed off.

What are you gonna do about it?

[tense music playing]

Huh?

I'll find Kim Gun-woo.

How?

How?!

Iil Group's son?

- That asshole's friends with Gun-woo. - Get that asshole.

Kang In-beom is wanted so he shouldn't be outside for a while.

I'll get them. I'll get the bloodhounds.

Because you want more money? Use your own.

Yes, that's fine.

[exhales]

And you?

Oh. The investors called me after Adik's fight.

They're interested. They want to meet.

They might go in this time.

Everyone, listen up.

If we want to expand, we need to get Gun-woo, that motherfucker.

Bring Gun-woo here no matter what the cost is.

Understood?

Yes.

[knocking at door]

Everything is okay?

We'll make sure it's very clean.

[phone buzzing]

Yes. Do you have updates?

[man] Detective Choi's meeting a leader from the Major Crimes Unit

tomorrow at 11 am.

He's going to hand over evidence from forensics.

What's the evidence?

- [man] Send me the money first. - Sure. It'll be transferred right away.

[phone beeps]

[phone buzzes]

20,000,000 WON DEPOSIT FROM LEE MAN-BAE

- [Woo-jin] Oh! - [Tae-yeong] I got in.

[Woo-jin] What's this site?

Gun-woo, that's you.

- [exhales] - It's AI. This was generated.

You can tell because your eyes are very sharp

and you've never taken a bloody photo with fists like that.

I haven't.

Isn't this against the law? A violation of portrait rights?

Yeah, it is, but this website is completely illegal.

On this type of site, well, it all is… It's all illegal.

Wait a minute.

W… what came up? What is it?

[Tae-yeong] IKFC37's a tournament challenge.

It'll be held in Seoul this March to see who's the last man standing.

"The new WBC super middleweight champion,

Kim Gun-woo,

the Scarface,

he'll join as the first contender."

[Woo-jin] You're Scarface?

Those assholes.

How can they name you like that?

What's a challenge tournament?

The winner moves on to the next one. The winner continues.

So if you win,

you just keep fighting.

I'll look up the other matches they had.

What?

[grunting on video]

Do you recognize that man?

He was the opponent in Gun-woo's fight for the title match.

Stop there, please.

[tense music continues]

THREAT DETECTED

- Huh? A virus? - What?

Someone's sending us a virus.

[tense music builds]

FILE SYSTEM ERROR

[gasps]

FILE SYSTEM ERROR

[cackling on computer]

Jeez.

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

[breathes shakily]

We won't ever use this again.

If this computer gets turned on,

it'll connect to the people who attacked us.

Sorry. I'm very sorry.

When we receive the prize money,

we'll get you a brand-new computer.

Thanks for offering me that.

[music fades]

Stand by.

May I help you?

Oh, is Kim Gun-woo's room this way?

[knocking on door]

- [Gun-woo] Oh. - You got a staycation at a great hotel!

You know how to live life! [chuckles]

Look at this! This is why it's so important to be successful.

- The life quality here is so good. - [Woo-jin] Please, sit.

Sure. [chuckles]

Mr. Moon, um, do you know the boxer who fought Gun-woo?

- Yes, Adik. - [Woo-jin] Yes.

Adik was in an IKFC fight before the laptop got hacked.

Adik was in their league.

[somber music playing]

He was taken by the guys who came to our house.

He was forced to fight.

And Adik

has gone missing.

He went missing?

Huh.

Those fucking assholes.

They'll go to any lengths to get Gun-woo to fight.

We have to protect Gun-woo.

Understand?

Yes.

Of course.

So what will you two do from now on?

Oh, at 11, I'll meet with Detective Choi and Gang-yong tomorrow.

Mm. Good.

I would like to rest.

Your superior, who broke his forehead, is running all over town

and you're sleeping?

So I need to run far too?

He would, but Woo-jin can't even move his hand yet.

- Gun-woo… - Yes?

See my hand.

Oh, it doesn't work!

It's numb. [whimpers mockingly]

All right, I'll run far with you. So then, where should we go?

[intriguing music playing]

[Mr. Moon sighs]

They're here.

Hey, do you know how much you owe me?

You got a death wish?

Why do I have to call you first? Huh?

Do you know how much money I've lost investing with you?

Don't fuck around!

Fucking stupid asshole!

[huffs] Dickhead.

[suspenseful music playing]

- [Mr. Moon] It looks like a regular gym. - This is it.

Apparently, it's where the gang hangs out.

100% sure?

Let's play it by ear.

- We'll act natural and wait. - Mm.

Hey, is this a good place to work out…

Oh fuck, those are the assholes!

[indistinct shouting]

[man 1] Grab him, quickly!

[Woo-jin] Sun-bo, let's go.

[Mr. Moon] Stop! Let go of me!

[man 1] Hey! Get them quickly!

This way! Hurry! Sir!

- [man 1] After them! Go, go, go! - [men clamoring]

- Take the other way! - [man 1] Over here!

[all grunting, shouting]

This is the nail shop at Daedong Mall. I'll like to report an incident.

Don't come!

Shit, wait! Uh…

Uh, slow down. Wait.

We don't have to do this. Right? Real men talk.

We're adults.

Let's talk it out instead, huh?

Right?

All right.

You fuckers!

- That fucking ass! - Fuck you, you sons of bitches!

- Your mom sucks dicks! All the dicks! - Yeah! Come on!

"Mom sucks dicks?" They're sick.

[man 2] Fuck you!

- This is awful. Let's split! Keep running! - Okay! Go!

[Sun-bo yells]

[groans]

No, don't, wait!

[groans]

- [dramatic rock music playing] - [all grunting]

Let's get these fuckers!

- [grunting continues] - [man 3 yelps] Ah! Oh!

- Son of a bitch! - [straining]

Fucking ass! [grunts]

[groans] Ah!

[grunting continues]

[Woo-jin] Come on!

I'm here, sir!

Get off now!

- [man 1] Son of a bitch! - Fucking jerk!

[groans]

[grunts]

[yells] Ah!

[grunting]

[Woo-jin groans]

- [Mr. Moon] Asshole! - [man 4] Die, you fucker!

[all straining]

[Woo-jin groans]

[all grunting]

[man 3] Fucker. I quit. [groans]

[breathes heavily]

- Hands up! - Freeze!

- Stop it, you! - Put your hands up!

- Ass! Wait, what? [gasps] - [officer] Stay still!

- Break it up! - Don't move! Stop! Get up!

- Stop that! - Shoot me, you fucking assholes!

Keep moving and I'll aim to hit.

- [Taser crackling] - [groaning]

[officer] Just stay still. It's all over. We're taking you in.

[background easy listening music playing]

- I think that's him. Yeah. - Is it?

Yes.

- [sharp stab] - [groaning]

What's happening?

Oh, fuck!

[ominous music playing]

- [woman] What's going on? - Oh my God!

- [man 1] Somebody stabbed him! - [man 2] Did you see what happened?

- [woman] Where did he go? - [man 3] Is he okay?

Gun-woo, hey!

- Catch him! Hoodie! That guy. - [Gun-woo] Oh.

[Gang-yong] Detective Choi!

Detective Choi, stay with me.

[man 4] Oh no!

[dramatic music playing]

Stay with me! Detective!

Detective Choi!

[grunts]

[groans]

[both panting]

[motorcyclist groans]

[gasping]

Shit!

[music intensifies]

It's closed off. Stop!

- [grunting] - [panting]

[Gun-woo grunts]

[grunting]

[tires screech]

[tires screech]

[both continue panting]

[grunting]

[man grunts]

[Gun-woo breathes heavily]

[man] Whoo!

[laughs]

[breathes deeply]

[grunting]

[straining]

[continues straining]

[grunts]

[panting]

[somber music playing]

[phone buzzes]

GANG-YONG

I'M SORRY, GUN-WOO I COULDN'T SAVE DETECTIVE CHOI GYEONG-WON

- [crying] - [somber music playing]

[phone buzzes]

WOO-JIN

- Woo-jin-- - [Woo-jin] Hi, Gun-woo.

Yeah?

Could you talk to Gang-yong and come here with him?

Oh, Mr. Min's here!

- Sir, may I help you? - Yes, officer, well…

I'm Min Gang-yong,

senior inspector from the Major Crimes Division of Seoul's office,

Sir.

I need to speak to the chief.

[officer] He's at that desk.

Mind if we have a conversation?

- Let's talk over there. - [Gang-yong] Okay.

[inaudible speech]

Is your hand okay?

- It's fine. Yeah. - Let me see.

- I said it's good. - [Gun-woo] Open it.

It's all okay.

Don't worry about it.

[inaudible speech]

- Sergeant Lee. - [Sergeant Lee] Yes?

The inspector and I talked. He offered a good explanation.

You can uncuff those three there.

- Yes, sir. - [man 1] What did he say?

- [man 2] What? - [man 3] This is bullshit!

- [man 4] Come on! - Hey, over there, be quiet!

This is ridiculous! No!

Those assholes were the ones who picked the fight.

What the fuck? You're blaming us?!

- Sit and shut it! - [man 1] What the fuck is happening?

Sit? This sucks and is wrong! The police can't do this!

What?

What?

This is my case now.

That means it's my way.

And if you keep on being an idiot like this,

I'll release your profile and call for reports from victims everywhere.

[exhales]

[Gang-yong] So shut up and listen.

If we release your profile,

it won't just be your parents.

It'll be all your relatives.

And, well, if you have one, your girlfriend too.

They'll all receive a lot of phone calls and become targets.

Their businesses, work, and lives,

all of them will get harassed and affected.

You want that?

No way.

What's your name?

Gu Dong-yeok.

- Okay, Dong-yeok. We'll see you. - [Dong-yeok] Yes, sir.

[music fades]

Uh, Mr. Min, you must be very busy. Thank you getting us today.

But, technically, just so you know, this was self-defense.

Really self-defense.

I said be still and rest, right?

- I was trying to be helpful. - How were you helping?

We found the guys who attacked us and fought them.

The police could've found those guys, not you.

[chuckles] But it's good for us to be together and do teamwork, huh?

[pensive music playing]

[chuckles awkwardly]

Let's get this straight now.

If you guys make a wrong move and we get exposed,

think how things could get messed up fast.

I was wrong.

I realize I made a mistake. Forgive me.

- [sighs] - [Mr. Moon] But…

Would it be okay if you let me help out too?

It's just, well,

I'm uneducated,

and a loan shark, so you might not like me, I know.

[sighs]

But President Choi, the man who raised me, he was really a great man.

Loan sharks are not… They're not all bad. You can ask the guys if you want.

I keep trying. I will strive to honor him, believe me.

We know they're bad men too.

So why can't we use some dirty tactics to catch them?

Stop it, Gwang-mu.

[sighs] Look at me.

This is the problem.

What we've planned can get messed up because you don't listen.

Do you understand?

Doing the work and getting it done is what's most important. Understood?

Dirty ways or clean ways, I don't care.

What I do care about is for you to listen so nothing will get messy!

Yes, I made mistakes.

I will listen to you and do what you say.

But in return…

please, I can do things to help you, sir.

- [sighs] - I'm here because of these two.

As a former Marine,

can't you let me be a superior to them?

[sighs]

So I may act like how a superior Marine would?

[sighs]

Okay, Mr. Marine,

beat the shit out of Gu Dong-yeok

and collect the names of who ordered the attack.

[gasps] Thank you so much!

- I'll do my best. - Just do it.

- [breathes excitedly] - Tonight, okay.

[chuckling]

[Gang-yong] Yeah, good.

All right. Let's go.

- Uh, yes. - [Gang-yong] Get in.

[tense music playing]

Welcome.

- Which room? - [woman] Room seven. Go on in.

Do you have plans? We can go for a drink.

Room seven, okay.

[chuckles]

[sighs] Filthy dirty asshole.

Nice to see you.

- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you.

[Mr. Moon chuckles]

[Mr. Moon exhales]

Ah. Hi, Moa.

How are things here?

It's very good, thanks for asking. Is your face okay?

Ah, this, well, this is nothing.

So, Moa, I'll take double what you made today off the interest.

Please pull down the shutters.

We'll go do our business.

Ah, where's the big guy? Tell me the room he's in.

It's room seven.

Ah, lucky seven. [chuckles]

[Dong-yeok] Come in. I'm ready.

[Mr. Moon] Sir, just relax.

Put your arms up.

Thank you. We'll start.

- What… What the hell? - [Sun-bo grunts]

- What are you doing? Assholes! - [Sun-bo grunts]

- [Dong-yeok] Oh, motherfuckers. - This will be your massage today. Relax.

Hey. You better not try to resist. It'll only get worse for you.

[Dong-yeok groans]

In this massage, it would be normal if your neck snaps

because it's a hard one.

Now, do you understand the situation?

Fuck you, you sons of whores.

[chuckles] Don't you know that's no way to speak to an adult, you brat?

I know what I'm doing.

[exhales]

I didn't choose this profession. This profession chose me.

Why is that?

I'm way too good at it.

- You stupid punk, Dong-yeok. - [whimpers]

- Now, let me perform a checkup. - [Dong-yeok groans]

Trapezius.

Very bad.

Latissimus dorsi. Not so good.

Erector spinae. It's very bad as well.

But what looks the worst of all is…

No, what the… What the fuck? [whimpers]

It's your sphincter, you asshole!

This is a very sensitive area.

The pain will be two or three times…

- Yes, two or three times more. - [Dong-yeok screams]

Oh, fuck, it's not moving anymore.

- Come on. - Stop! No. It's too much. Stop it!

Now for my questions.

Answer them correctly

and you won't have to wear a diaper for a month against your will.

Be careful.

Who placed the order to come after me?

It was the leader.

Who's this fucking leader?

Du-seong. You're so fucked now, you fucker.

Where could I find Du-seong?

I have no idea.

- Well, you don't know? - [Dong-yeok] I don't. I really don't know!

I'll give our Dong-yeok a constipation-free life from now on.

Come on. It's going in!

Yes, it's moving in more.

- Good. Halfway in. It's going in deep. - [crying in pain]

Hey, hey, will you relax?

Oh, jeez, you're leaking shit. That's so gross!

- Oh, fuck, should we do anything? - [Dong-yeok] I'm telling the truth!

[sobbing] It's true.

Oh, fuck. [whimpering]

It's true. [cries]

- This bastard's speaking the truth. - [Dong-yeok cries]

Well, do you know who Adik is, then?

I know who he is.

He was with a guy just a few days ago.

Where was that?

Adik and this guy with long hair were fighting.

They were at a closed subway station.

I was only standing there.

Who's this guy with long hair?

I have no idea. [cries]

- No idea? - [Dong-yeok] I really don't know.

I don't. Wait, wait, wait! Please wait!

Who can think with a head pressed like this?

[Dong-yeok breathes heavily]

Huh.

Sun-bo, he says the pressure's too strong.

- All right. - [gasps for breath]

Keep going.

Okay. I took a picture with my phone.

It's not a picture of him.

It's a picture of a watch. It's the watch he was wearing.

It was a fucking expensive one so I took a picture to post on my Instagram.

Ah, you take selfies. [chuckles] How cool. Really.

Take a picture of this massage. You can post it too.

[Dong-yeok] No, wait!

What the fuck?

Where are you going?

Wait, sir!

Uncuff me before you go! What the fuck?!

- [indistinct chatter] - [suspenseful music playing]

[phone buzzes]

MOON GWANG-MU

What do you want me to do with this?

- Woo-jeong. - Yes, sir?

- [Gang-yong] Take a look at this. - Oh, sure.

You know watches, right?

I do. I've studied them extensively.

Good. Take a look. Could this be a clue?

Let me double-check.

I'll just take a picture.

- I'll find it for you, sir. - Thank you.

[electronic voice] The door is closing.

[tense music playing]

- [system beeps] - Cho Hye-seon, I got the ice cream.

Hye-seon!

[blows thudding]

[yelps]

[groaning]

[Won-yeong whimpering]

[grunting] Ah! Ah!

Cho Won-yeong.

It's just…

You can't do this. Please don't do this to me!

[crying]

[cries out] Ah!

Be quiet and listen. Hmm?

Okay.

Well then… Good?

- Then be quiet. You better not interrupt. - Okay.

Right now,

he's putting cream… It's numbing cream. …on your sister's hand.

You see the person next to her? He's a doctor.

I do. [breathes shakily]

Answer my questions quickly and it might be okay.

You both might be just fine.

Okay.

Got it?

Kim Gun-woo, you know him? Where is he?

[sighs]

[Won-yeong breathes shakily]

- [gasps] - [squelching]

[splutters] Wait! Don't hurt her! I'll tell you!

P… please!

The Marriott! In Times Square, the hotel.

The Marriott Hotel.

The room number?

Room 1602.

- [Man-bae] Room 1602. - [Won-yeong] That's it.

Min Gang-yong and

Hong Min-beom are related, aren't they?

Do you know

what his agenda is?

What's Min-beom doing tomorrow night?

[whimpering]

[tense music continues]

BLOODHOUNDS SEOUL

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO WORK TOMORROW EVENING

The drugs for tomorrow?

One drop is enough.

This can be used with alcohol?

[doctor] Used with alcohol?

Hmm. That makes me curious how strong it would be.

I don't want this to kill anyone.

It won't kill.

PSYCHO69 I'LL DO IT

[laughs]

[ominous music playing]

I'm sorry. We're not ready yet.

Miss, we're not open yet.

You can't be here.

[bartender straining]

What the fuck did you…

[gasping slowly]

In three hours, the effects will wear off.

What time will Hong Min-beom arrive here?

Eight o'clock.

And for drinks?

Tell me his drink.

[phone buzzing]

[scoffs]

[phone continues buzzing]

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Do you want a drink, Won-yeong? I'm only having one tonight.

- I'll just wait and take you home, sir. - Hmm. Next time then.

[breathes shakily]

[breathing shakily]

[theatrical music playing]

[woman] Hello.

Where's Dong-u?

He's usually here.

Oh, he's feeling sick tonight so I'm here instead.

Have a seat. You're Hong Min-beom, right?

Yes.

Here's the Bowmore 27-year-old whiskey you reserved.

[theatrical music builds]

[dissonant ominous music playing]

I'm looking forward.

[music fades]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

[operatic music playing]

It's so fine. [chuckles softly]

[chuckles]

[woman laughs]

You like it, dude?

[woman laughs]

What?

[laughs] Is it good?

[woman laughing]

[operatic music builds]

Huh?

Huh?

[crackling]

Huh?

[panicked breathing]

[music becomes distorted]

[woman laughs]

[eerie crackling]

[laughs]

[yelps]

- [unsettling music playing] - [woman chuckles]

Oh! [laughs]

[panicked breathing]

[Min-beom groans]

[woman laughs]

[laughs] He's crying. [laughs]

[tense electronic music playing]

BLOODHOUNDS 2

- [somber music playing] - [monitor beeping]

He had his annual physical at our clinic one month ago.

We compared that data to today.

His liver function is now 30 times worse than before.

- That's horrible. - Indeed. He's in bad shape.

- It's not just because of drinking. - [Gang-yong sighs]

In my medical opinion, there's a possibility

he might have some drugs in his blood.

Drugs? What type?

[doctor] We won't know until the lab results come in.

There's one thing we can do.

Get a sample of the exact beverage Min-beom was consuming.

[sighs] Do you know how long it will take him to recover?

I'm not sure. He may not recover at all from this.

Worst-case scenario,

he'll need to get a liver transplant.

WILL WEE EVR MEET?

HOW ARE THE BOYS?

DU-YEONG, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE LAST TALKED

DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THE BOYS?

THEY'RE OKAY FOR NOW

[cell phone buzzing]

LET ME KNOW RIGHT AWAY IF ANYTHING HAPPENS

[somber music continues]

- [Mr. Moon] Mr. Min, how are you. - Oh, you're here.

How's Mr. Hong doing right now?

- His situation is not very good. - Oh, that's awful.

- I'm praying for a quick recovery. - That's much appreciated.

- Let's go inside. - [Gun-woo] Sure.

[tense music playing]

[persistent thudding]

Sh!

[thudding continues]

[whimpers]

- [Gang-yong] Do you know her? - I've never seen her in my life.

[Mr. Moon] Oh my God.

- [Dong-u] Uh… - You don't know her at all?

Like I told you, I've never seen her before.

[taps keyboard]

[camera clicking rapidly]

- Not now. - Oh, sure. I'm sorry.

[Dong-u] So when she kissed me, this weird kind of plastic film

came right out of her mouth. So strange.

And then I suddenly got dizzy and my legs gave out. Then I fell down.

After that, the bitch dropped this liquid right here in my mouth.

Then she asked me some questions.

Like what?

You know, I… I can't recall.

[inhales] So it made you talk without your ability to control anything, right?

That's it. Just like that.

Oh my.

You're familiar with it?

Oh yeah. So this drug can make the user tell the truth.

This drug is very powerful.

It lowers inhibitions and forces you to say whatever is on your mind.

You know what else?

I heard that some people use it to get information from dates.

- It must be illegal then? - Yeah, that's right.

So would it be used for getting confessions?

I think so.

[Gang-yong exhales]

Shit.

She's a smart one.

Did Min-beom schedule in advance?

He did. Reserved it last week.

By who?

His assistant.

Go to the hospital and get a blood test. Then call me when you have the results.

I'll get a blood test right away.

Great. We need to have a talk.

[music fades]

Only Secretary Cho and him knew that Min-beom was coming here.

That said, I'm not convinced he did it.

So, Gun-woo,

you and I will go see Mr. Cho, okay?

Gwang-mu, see what you can learn about this woman.

I'd guess she'd be active in areas where younger folks hang out.

- That's more your scene than mine. - Yeah, okay.

- She's a professional. So watch out. - Mr. Min, I'm a pro as well. [chuckles]

- [Gun-woo] One thing, sir. - Hmm?

Would you mind if I tag along?

Why?

If Woo-jin goes with Mr. Moon,

I'm worried he'll use his hand.

[gentle music playing]

- Gwang-mu, does that work for you? - Sure, Gun-woo can tag along! [chuckles]

[Gang-yong] Okay then. Let's go.

- Yeah guys, let's move. - [Gun-woo] Yeah.

Mr. Min?

I think this is the president's jacket.

[car horn beeps]

[tense music playing]

- [Mr. Moon] You ready for this? - Yes.

Well I'm glad you're ready. [chuckles]

- [Gun-woo] Sir. - Yeah?

You can count on me.

I'm much safer now! [chuckles]

Looks like there are benefits of hanging out with a champion. Hmm?

Oh.

[chuckles] Well, I guess now it's our time.

- [music fades] - [cell phone buzzing]

NO CALLER ID

You can answer it, but you can't speak first.

[somber music playing]

[man] How's the president?

[breathes shakily]

Hey.

What did you put in his drink?

[man scoffs] You're a fucking idiot.

You still don't get it, do you? [breathes deeply]

Want to know what else will happen if you don't fight me?

I will remove your coach's hand.

I'll rip out your mom's tongue and whore her out in Southeast Asia.

Oh fuck.

[man] The president's cousin… I'll wash that pig's face with hydrochloric acid.

Go on, make me your enemy.

Then I'll make every poor bastard who needs money your enemy.

That cop who got stabbed to death right in front of you? Who did that?

Just a coworker at his police station who we paid 50 million won.

[breathes shakily]

- [man] Listen to me carefully. - [exhales]

[man] Everyone in this, world, and I mean everyone, has a price.

You'll get all the money I discussed.

Just fight me one time.

Shit. [breathes heavily]

KIM GUN-WOO

So that's it, you fucker.

In a few days, your coach's hand will be the first to go.

Then your mother.

Fun.

[breathes deeply]

[Mr. Moon] I know his type.

These people are horrible fucking vampires who suck the blood from others

and would even sell off their organs.

[somber music continues]

If you want to take down a beast,

then you need to be a bigger, stronger beast.

If you show the tiniest bit of weakness,

those bastards will attack. Get what I'm saying?

What should I do?

You want to beat the beast?

Be ready to do anything.

Like I told you, you must make your heart as tough as steel.

When your heart is steel, then your fist is the sharpest knife.

Then stab him.

You have to take them down.

Otherwise…

your family goes down.

Hmm. [inhales]

[breathes heavily]

[music fades]

[system beeping]

Hello. How are you?

[Gang-yong] Hmm.

Won-yeong,

Min-beom was attacked. He's badly hurt.

[tense music playing]

[Gang-yong exhales]

Let's talk.

[music fades]

- [rock music playing over PA] - [bouncer] Have a reservation?

- We're here to see the owner. - Okay, just a minute.

- Party of two coming in. Go in, gentlemen. - [Mr. Moon] Thanks.

[man 1] Ah! Let's go, bitches!

[man 2] You're out of your mind. I'm staying right here.

[man 1] Oh my! Daddy!

- Hi, Daddy! - Oh!

Well, look who came to show his gorgeous face.

Wait, are you wearing your mother's necklace?

You like? It's super pretty.

- Yeah. - What's up, gorgeous?

Ah, well, I'm looking for someone.

What's your type?

It's a woman.

[laughs] You've come to the wrong place.

What? Oh no. I'll pass, but thanks anyway.

Because you know a lot of people around here.

How about, if I find her, can you lower my interest just a smidge?

You're crafty.

- [man 1] Oh, Daddy. - Yeah, but can you handle it?

Oh, you know I can.

- [Mr. Moon scoffs] - Who's the lucky girl?

Can we have privacy?

Come, come.

- [Mr. Moon] Oh, hey, Gun-woo. - Yes?

- [Mr. Moon] Don't go anywhere alone. - Yes.

You know what's strange?

When I said that Min-beom was injured,

you didn't even ask how bad it was.

[somber music playing]

So why did you sell Min-beom out to those guys?

He took care of you.

He even set up your university scholarship with the Iil Group Foundation. Full ride.

Min-beom handled every decision. He handpicked you as his assistant.

He's done everything for you, Won-yeong. Right?

And you turn on him. For what? More money?

Hey!

Look. He's fucked up right now.

He's unable to even open his eyes.

He took care of you, and you stab him in the back.

Hey, Cho Won-yeong!

Are you really this much of a lowlife?

- [door opens] - [gasps]

- [Won-yeong] Not now! - Don't speak to him like that! Stop it!

- Get back in your room! - [Hye-seon] You didn't do anything wrong!

Look at this.

Those bastards did this with a knife.

Enough. Go back now.

Wait.

Tell me what happened.

I need the truth now. Yeah?

I'll handle it.

It's okay.

I got it.

Just tell me everything.

- [distant dance music playing] - So who is she?

[dance music pulsing through the walls]

Ew. The resolution is terrible, and her look's so basic.

Hey. Can you try a little harder for me?

No, it's impossible.

Maybe if you lower the interest for me?

Give me something good before you start bargaining with me, idiot.

And give me something to go on. I have no clues.

[sighs] Oh yeah!

What's that drug that makes people say whatever's on their mind?

Oh, Truth Game?

That's the name of it?

Yeah, Truth Game.

This girl gave the waiter something, and I think it was that drug.

Hmm. Oh my. You'll definitely have to lower the interest now.

Ah, so there is info in that head of yours!

[both chuckle]

I know a guy who imports it into the country, and distributes it too.

Okay. So where's that punk now?

- Uh, will you lower your rate by 5%? - No way. You're a thief.

- Come on, Daddy, do it one time for me. - Uh-uh.

- Just one time, for me? - Let go of me.

- Stop it right now! - Please? Just this one time.

Fine, 5%. Good enough?

Oh! [laughs]

- So make the call. - Yeah.

- Give me a minute, sir. - [sighs] He's a good friend, you see.

Yes.

- [Mr. Moon] No, really. - Yes.

[Hye-seon] I was on my way home, after buying some beer at the convenience store.

I was closing the door, but a hand suddenly came in.

- [somber music playing] - Mm-hmm.

Those bastards kicked me

in the stomach.

[cries] And they tied me to a chair.

They said if I screamed… [breathes shakily]

…they would melt off my face with hydrochloric acid.

Wow.

- Do you remember what they-- - [Won-yeong] Uh, Mr. Min?

Do you mind if I tell you the rest of what happened?

Is it okay if my sister leaves?

I appreciate it.

You can go inside.

[Hye-seon sniffs]

So what happened with your sister's hand?

First, they applied an ointment.

Then they took a knife and cut her.

It was an anesthetic cream. She didn't feel it.

So what did they look like?

There were three of them.

So the largest of the guys had big eyes with these heavy eyelids.

He was strong.

The second guy did almost all the talking.

His eyebrows were thick.

He was really good at playing a psychological game.

Go on.

The guy who cut my sister's hand was very skinny.

He also had a receding hairline.

Something odd with his eyes.

Like he was high or something.

Okay. Did they seem close?

They weren't speaking with each other very much.

But they worked together like a team.

Good.

They asked me if you

were the president's relative.

[scoffs]

It's clear they researched me.

Also, uh…

It's okay. Yeah?

I said something I shouldn't have.

I mentioned where Gun-woo and Woo-jin are.

[Gang-yong exhales]

- Should we alert them now? - No, no, no.

If they move first,

we'll expose Won-yeong.

We need to protect him for a number of reasons.

I'll have more guards assigned. This could be helpful.

If they arrive there, we'll stop those assholes.

The guys in Team 3 are all elite.

I can't go to the police.

- They said they'd kill my family. - Don't sweat it.

Listen to me.

More undercover cops will be assigned.

For both your sister and this house.

Tell her to act normally. This is the safest approach.

[exhales]

I'm so sorry.

If they did that to my family,

I'd respond just how you did.

It's not your fault, okay?

They are doing this to your family.

[breathes shakily]

How's my boss?

Will he survive?

So you do care?

- I'm sorry. [cries] - [music fades]

LEE WOO-JEONG CLASS 39

Pray for him, okay?

Hello, Woo-jeong.

[dance music playing]

[man grunts]

He's here!

[grunts]

Oh. [chuckles]

What's wrong?

[gasps]

You're Kim Gun-woo, right?

Yes.

Holy shit! I'm a big fan.

You and I… met once, remember?

After the Hong Jong-min fight.

After you crushed him. Then you gave me your autograph, right here!

TO JANG JUN THANK YOU, KIM GUN-WOO

Oh! Sure. Yes, I remember you.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a great time! - Oh sure. Well, hello again.

It's so nice to meet you. For sure. It's such an honor. [chuckles]

Wow.

Wow, I can't believe this!

Well, I'm thrilled for you.

So, um… So how may I help you today?

So Kim Gun-woo is seeking

this woman here.

Do you know her? Have you seen her?

For sure. It's Gi-na. We're super tight.

We have a thing going on. [chuckles]

Did you sell this lady Truth Game recently?

Yeah. For sure.

Where could she be right now?

[music becomes muffled]

Ah, yeah. Have a good evening.

Yes, Mr. Min? It's Moon Gwang-mu.

[Gang-yong] Any updates?

Yes, I found her! Her name is Gi-na.

I'm heading out to the gambling den now where she works.

[Gang-yong] You're serious? You're fantastic.

Well, you believed in me sir, so I really didn't want to disappoint you, you know.

So let's talk later. Maybe you can help me with this investigation.

It'd be my honor.

You know, I've actually always dreamed of being a detective.

[chuckles]

[Gang-yong] Let's meet up to discuss strategy before making our move together.

[Mr. Moon] Sure, of course. Where should we meet?

Uh, the hotel where Gun-woo and Woo-jin are staying.

One of my guys has found a lead off of the picture you sent me.

Oh, wow.

Okay, fine, I'll see you soon. I'm on my way.

Great. See you later.

[car horn beeps]

[tense music playing]

- Oh. Perfect timing. - [music fades]

Everyone, this is my colleague, Lee Woo-jeong.

- Hello. - [Gang-yong] New investigator on my team.

Hello, everyone. It's a pleasure.

Hmm. At school, we were in the Green Pine Tree Club together.

It's a group founded by seniors.

We are encouraged to stay evergreen like pine trees,

and uphold justice and equality in our society.

It's a secret club which consists of the best students from each class.

And we met there.

You two haven't met? This is Tae-yeong. She was in our Cyber Investigation Unit.

It's my pleasure.

[gentle music playing]

I finally get to meet the Cyber Investigation Unit star.

- What an honor. - [chuckles softly]

I know very little about boxing, but I enjoy watching your matches.

I've been a fan since the Rookie of the Year Tournament during COVID-19.

Uh, that's very kind of you.

- I'm Moon Gwang-mu. It's a real honor. - Oh, the honor is mine.

I've never met a top student before.

[Gang-yong] Uh, I'm a top student.

- Well, then it's my second time. - [both chuckle]

Oh.

Can you tell me your name please?

[exhales]

Hong Woo-jin. Yeah.

Aha.

I also competed in that match, Rookie of the Year tournament.

Oh, forgive me, I didn't… Uh…

Uh…

[chuckles softly]

So, Woo-jeong,

the character "Woo," does it mean "help?"

My character "Woo" means "outstanding."

The "Woo" character, for me, it means "help," you see.

I propose we get to know each other so we can help each other out.

Yeah. I'm gonna make sure to greet you first next time.

Wait. In your name, does "Woo" mean "help" as well?

- No, it means "friend." - Ah.

Oh, I think we should make a new club too. Like you guys.

Three different "Woos" join forces and fight the enemy,

How about the "Three Woo Club?"

Oh, wow, that's a fantastic idea.

[Gang-yong] Great, great, I hope your new club lasts forever,

but I think it's time to get to work now.

- Yes, of course. - Great.

[tense music playing]

OCTO ROMA NATURALIA CASE FILE

Let's begin with the investigation report.

The watch in the photo you sent us is a limited edition model.

In Korea, it's been purchased by only two people.

One, a pro soccer player who currently plays in Europe,

and the other,

former Special Forces Officer Yun Tae-Geom.

Wait. That's the guy.

- Him? You sure? - Oh yeah. He fought us.

[exhales]

Yun Tae-geom. He was born in 1990.

In 2009, he enlisted as an NCO in Army Special Warfare Command.

He served with the 17th Airborne Special Forces.

And his specialty? Explosives.

According to fellow soldiers, he was highly intelligent,

and excelled at making improvised explosive devices.

He was dishonorably discharged in April 2020.

The reason for that is classified. I'm looking into it.

I researched his family and personal history.

SPOUSE: HAN EUN-JI, DECEASED CHILD: YUN MIN-A

He has a young daughter.

- [Gang-yong] And where is she? - Lives with her grandmother in Daejeon.

I still haven't figured out his wife's death.

Where's our former officer now?

He went to Thailand in March last year and hasn't come back officially.

I think he's here. With forged identification and a visa.

Okay, everyone, gather around.

Of course.

[Gang-yong] This is the head.

This is Yun Tae-geom.

Our special forces guy. He's the fixer, the muscle. You follow me?

Kang In-beom.

Not sure yet what this bastard's role is in all this.

But according to Mr. Cho…

The voice?

Exactly. That's what I'm thinking.

First, we should go over what we know for sure.

This here is the junkie doctor.

Maybe this asshole is responsible for that drug on Min-beom.

The one with the thick eyebrows works logistics.

Like gathering intel, sizing things up, and bringing in the hired guys.

He probably handled everything for Kang In-beom's escape from prison,

making sure everyone had everything they need.

Don't forget their computer expert.

- So he's number six, right? - Okay.

Wow, that's a pretty big crew. Just their monthly salaries are a fortune.

Um, sir, there's something I wanted to share with you directly.

When were at Golden Slumber before,

I got a call.

- On your phone? - Yes.

- What did he say? - [Mr. Moon] He directly threatened him.

If he didn't take part in their league, everyone around him is in danger.

[Woo-jeong] Did you get his number, by chance?

- [sighs] - I guess not.

- He say anything else to you? - Gun-woo.

The detective who died right in front of us.

One of his fellow officers sold him out.

He was paid off with a massive amount of cash.

- [sighs] - Wow.

For right now, I want only the people here to work on this.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Now, in a way,

this is a way more intelligent, better-run organization

than when we fought Kim Myeong-gil.

No need to be worried. Justice is with us.

There are quite a few things we need to do, and they all must be done at once.

Mr. Moon and Gun-woo, find that woman now.

- Okay. - Yes.

Woo-jeong, check the footage and see where the guy who stabbed Detective Choi went.

Okay.

Woo-jin, come with me to meet Yun Tae-geom's mother.

Got it.

Okay. I want you watching the website.

If you learn anything about this asshole, contact me right away.

This lowlife got money to the police.

I don't know what he did before, but he's got connections everywhere.

I think… I think he was likely police.

Yes.

And we all must be safe. Bring it in.

Yeah.

- One, two, three. - [all] Let's go!

[suspenseful music playing]

Which camera shows the best view of where he goes next?

- Give me a second. - [Woo-jeong] Okay.

[man] This one should be the best angle.

[tense music playing]

[gasps]

[car beeps]

- I'll give you a sedative. - [Min-beom breathes shakily]

- It'll definitely help ease your pain. - [Min-beom] No!

I can do this.

I can do this on my own.

It's very possible that you'll need a liver transplant.

The sedative will help.

I said I can do this on my own!

[doctor] Keep this up, you'll be in serious danger.

I can do this. I can do this!

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Hey.

- Hmm? - What are you doing?

Woo-jin. You know how much this costs?

Not really sure. Thirty thousand?

[scoffs]

Are you serious?

So, how much is it?

This costs about ten times that.

Huh?

It's a limited edition. There's a waiting list for it.

Oh.

[Gang-yong clears throat]

[Woo-jin] Wait.

Hmm?

Now I know why you wanted me here with you.

- Why? - To see Yun Tae-geom's mother.

And then butter her up.

Then we can meet Yun Tae-geom in person, right?

I'll try. I'll do my best.

Okay. You're overestimating yourself here, Woo-jin.

You handle the little kid.

I'll handle the mother.

- Uh, of course. - [Gang-yong] Good.

[music fades]

[doorbell chimes]

Who is it?

- [Gang-yong] Oh yes, hello there. - Yes?

[Gang-yong] Would you mind if I… speak to you for a few minutes?

Oh.

Okay.

He left us two years ago.

He said he got some job in Thailand.

And he was going to guard this rich person.

He hasn't been back since.

Does he return for holidays?

No.

Oh.

Min-a must miss her dad so much.

Do you both keep in touch?

[sighs] No.

Hmm. Wow.

He must miss her a lot. [chuckles]

I couldn't do that. I have a young daughter like Min-a too.

[scoffs] Yes.

I don't know what that boy is thinking.

[sighs] I… I don't wanna know.

[sighs]

[Woo-jin] Mm.

That's a great drawing.

I see that uncle's stuffing his face with all of Min-a's snacks.

Uh… Uh…

Min-a, listen. How about we do something else?

What else do you like?

Do you like stickers? There's plenty of stickers in my room.

Oh yeah! Let's go!

She's so pretty. [chuckles softly]

- [exhales] - [door closes]

Tell me. Why'd he leave the military?

Mina's mom. The hospital.

Those costs weren't covered by military income.

She was sick?

Mm.

She had cancer.

Pancreatic. It was bad.

Oh.

That's really hard.

Wow, Min-a.

This is a lot of stickers you're using. Are you positive it's not too many?

Yeah.

I bet you also like to stick these on your dad too. I'm sure he enjoys that, right?

Last time, I stuck a hundred on his face.

When was that?

This past Monday.

[tense music playing]

Oh.

This past Monday.

Oh, then I bet your dad bought you that scooter three nights ago.

So it's this past Monday night. Is that right?

Yeah.

Oh. Having fun with it? Is it cool?

Well, I'm a little scared of it.

How about… if I gave you a private lesson?

Yeah!

Oh yeah! [giggles]

Here we go.

Hi, Grandma! I'm gonna ride my scooter with my new friend.

I'll make sure she rides safely and carefully.

- See you later, Grandma! - Be safe.

Sure.

[music fades]

[door opens]

Here we go!

[door closes]

So, ma'am…

actually, we know about your son.

[poignant music playing]

Ah, okay, uh… Well…

If you can help me out today, I can help your son safely return home.

I promise that.

[breathes shakily]

Uh, okay, okay…

So how am I, uh, supposed to help?

It's simple. You just have to call me when he calls you.

- Okay, show me what's next. - [man] Sure.

[tense music playing]

Now zoom in on this camera angle.

[tense music builds]

- Okay, pause it there, please. - Yes.

- Ah. Excuse me. Give me a minute. - [man] Take your time.

[Gang-yong] Hi, Woo-jeong.

What's up?

I reviewed the CCTV footage and found the fourth suspect.

[Gang-yong] Oh yeah?

- Can you text me that picture? - [Woo-jeong] Yeah, I'll send it now.

And we just talked to Yun Tae-geom's mother

and we learned that his wife had pancreatic cancer.

It seems he borrowed cash from loan sharks for her treatment.

When he couldn't pay the interest, the sharks caused trouble at his base,

so he was discharged.

Must have been tough.

[Gang-yong] Yeah, right? I feel for the guy a little bit.

Give me his number and I'll see if I'm able to track it.

I think he's using a burner phone. She says his number changes.

What should we do?

Well, yeah, we could notify the police,

but in all likelihood there are cops out there

who were bribed by them too.

If we put out a wanted notice, Yun Tae-geom will disappear.

Ah.

Why don't we leave Yun Tae-geom and Mr. Cho alone for now.

So we can stay under the radar.

And Yun Tae-geom and I must meet.

He's clearly a tough guy, but he does this for his family.

It's possible we could bring him to our side.

Yes, that works for me.

So for now, send me that bastard's picture.

Sure.

Okay, it's time to see his face.

HONG MIN-BEOM

- [gasps] - Oh!

- Hello, sir! How are you? - [Min-beom] Where are you?

[sighs]

Investigating in Daejeon. I'm with Woo-jin right now. How are you feeling?

It's painful.

But it's getting better.

[sighs] That's so good to hear.

You know everyone was worried.

[ominous music playing]

Just a few more days.

Then I'm back.

[Gang-yong] Yes, of course. Take your time.

[Min-beom] We'll talk soon.

Yes, yes, for sure.

[chuckles]

- [cell phone buzzing] - Oh wait, here it is.

[music fades]

Hmm. So this is what it's like to be a detective.

Uh, yeah, sort of.

[laughs]

- Uh, Jun. - Yeah?

Be honest. Is she gonna be here?

She goes to work right around this time.

This is where I dropped her off once.

Oh, look!

- [tense music playing] - [dog barking]

- Is that her? Yeah, that's her for sure. - [car door closes]

Okay. Okay, so you take the elevator to the seventh floor.

When you get out, you take a left.

Then walk down that long hallway. Finally, you'll come to a door.

- You'll see a bunch of playing cards-- - What happens there?

Uh, high stakes games of blackjack, poker, mah-jongg.

A lot of the regular players are criminals,

so many of them are armed.

Guns, knives, and even axes.

You have to be extremely careful.

Yes. Thank you for your advice.

[chuckles, sniffs]

Let's do this!

Or whatever you say.

[Gun-woo] Let's do this.

- Ah. - [Mr. Moon] Mr. Min, we found the girl.

- Her name's Gi-na. - Great.

She works here, on the seventh floor.

- Great work, you guys. - [Mr. Moon] Thanks.

[music fades]

Oh right. I had a case once in this building.

There was a serial killer hiding here years ago.

So this building was built back in the '70s.

Things were different then. See the fire escape?

Oh. So my guess, she'll either use that stairway,

or take the elevator directly to the parking lot underground.

So here's the plan. Two of us flush her out.

One of us watches the fire escape, and the other covers the garage.

Uh, sir?

Can I join Mr. Moon going in the main entrance?

[Mr. Moon] Mm.

- You sure? - Yes.

Then, sir, I'll take the fire escape.

Okay. Everyone, be careful. Let's, not get hurt.

Okay, guys, bring it in.

- One, two, three… - [all] Let's do it!

Yeah.

[dramatic music playing]

You have gloves?

[tense music playing]

- [knocking on door] - Ah, shit.

- Yeah? - I'm President Moon from Dream On Capital.

I'd like to play.

[laughs] This fucking guy.

What?

Jang Jun mentioned this joint. He said it's a great place for some gambling.

This is getting on my nerves.

[grunting]

[Mr. Moon] Over here.

[indistinct chatter]

Okay.

- [man 1] I would like more chips, please. - [Mr. Moon] Hmm?

[man 1] You keep dealing me the same crappy hand.

[man 2] First time playing mah-jongg.

[man 1] Oh, come on!

[man 2] You're on a cold streak. I've never seen it this bad.

[man 3] Last bets, gentlemen.

- [woman] These guys are cops! - [man 3] Wait, who?

- [dramatic music playing] - [man 4] Cops. Let's move!

[alarm blares]

Hey, Gun-woo, stop her! She's getting away!

[man 1] Bastard!

[metal rings]

[tense music playing]

[Gun-woo breathing deeply]

[exhales slowly]

[dramatic music playing]

[man 5 strains]

[Mr. Moon] Gun-woo!

[all grunting]

[grunting continues]

[Gun-woo] Huh?

[knife clatters]

Shit!

[Mr. Moon yells]

[man] Hey!

[grunting continues]

Let go of me, asshole!

- [man 6] Come here, fucker. I got you. - Wait a minute!

Wait. Listen, I'm not a cop. I'm not! I'm a small business owner!

You think we give a shit?

[grunting]

[man 7 yells]

[groaning]

[men straining]

- [snarls] - [breathes deeply]

[indistinct yelling in distance]

[man 8] I will kill you!

Gwang-mu!

Hey!

- What? No! - [Gun-woo] Sir! Sir!

- No, stop it! No, no, wait! - It's me. It's me.

- You okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.

[Gun-woo] Are you sure you're okay?

Oh yeah. As long as I'm with you, I'll live, okay? [chuckles]

She must be close. Let's go.

- Right. - [Mr. Moon] Okay.

[groans] Shit.

Ah, shit. [panting]

- You coming? - You go ahead.

Let's go quietly.

[Gi-na sighs]

[knife slices]

Put the knife down. Let's go.

- Ah, shit. - [knife clatters]

- Someone help! He's attacking-- - [grunts]

[music fades]

- [sighs] - [cell phone buzzing]

Yes, hello?

- [Gang-yong] Tae-yeong, hey. - Yes?

I took her phone from her. What's next?

[Tae-yeong] What's the model?

It's an iPhone 14 or 15. Not sure.

iPhone cameras can be opened without a password.

I'm going to send you a message with a QR code.

Use her phone to scan it.

Okay.

[tense music playing]

Got it. Hang on a minute.

GI-NA

MONEY

[sighs]

HOW MUCH

HOW MUCH? MANJI

GROUP CHAT? WHY NOT DM ME?

Whoa!

IS THE JOB JUICY?

YOUR PRICE PLUS BONUS

LEAVING IT TO YOU

JUST SPIKE A DRINK

USE MY OWN DRUG?

- LET'S TALK IN PERSON. - WHERE?

I'LL CALL YOU. MEET ME THERE

OKAY

Oh, shit.

I found this, sir.

Yeah?

[Tae-yeong] She's the one who spiked President Hong's drink.

She met with the guy who arranged the job today.

Where?

[Tae-yeong] The Entra Hotel. There's a bar on the second floor.

At 11:00 this morning.

Tae-yeong, call the hotel and see if Yun Tae-geom is booked there.

- Yes, sir. - [telephone rings]

Good evening, Entra Hotel lobby.

This is Kang Tae-yeong, Cyber Unit, Seoul Metro Police.

Can you provide the room number for Yun Tae-geom, please?

So be aware that if you do not cooperate,

you may be charged with obstruction of justice.

He's staying in the penthouse as a long-term guest.

Thanks for your cooperation.

HE'S A LONG-TERM GUEST IN THE PENTHOUSE

- It's him. We got him. - Oh!

Now take this young lady and go somewhere safe.

- Yes, of course. - I'll stick with Mr. Moon right now

- Sure. - I'll stay with you, sir.

Let's go.

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[telephone ringing]

You were right. Bringing a mainstream fighter into IKFC was a huge success.

So you see the profit.

We made more money than we have ever made previously.

I told you it was gonna be immensely helpful.

Okay. So now, we will bring in another mainstream fighter. His name is Gun-woo.

He just destroyed Adik and is the current super-middleweight champion of the world,

and we convinced him to join our IKFC37.

Our numbers will be bigger than ever.

Hey.

He's an infighter. There will be a lot of blood.

They're gonna love it.

And we will market Gun-woo to Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand.

All our Asian markets. The bets will be higher than ever.

All because he's an Asian fighter who they can cheer for.

Look, gentlemen. Like I mentioned before,

I'm still divided between your IKFC…

Let's be honest, needs a major overhaul.

…and an established moneymaking Dutch soccer gambling site empire,

called Hatricks.

But…

[sighs]

…if you continue to make steady profits,

I guess I can pour in up to 400 million dollars

for 51% of the shares of your little up-and-coming startup.

Sound good?

Okay, we will continue to make arrangements.

Great. Ciao.

Hold on. You said he'd buy it.

Did that fucking sound like he was interested?

Oh, he's only bluffing. As long as we land Gun-woo, we'll be fine.

You better be right, you motherfucker.

[telephone ringing]

- What? - [receptionist] This is the front desk.

Man-bae mentioned that I should call if anything suspicious happened.

Well, the police just called the front desk.

[phone clatters]

- [dramatic music playing] - [sirens wailing]

SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT

We'll take over from here. Stay inside.

[tense music playing]

[sighs]

[officer 1] Clear.

[officer 2] Clear.

All clear.

[music fades]

[sighs]

Get out!

[cell phone buzzes]

[car alarms blaring in distance]

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Gun-woo gasping]

[woman] Somebody help!

NO CALLER ID

[somber music playing]

This is your fault.

How's that feel?

- [indistinct chatter] - [breathes deeply]

[man] I told you this would happen.

I said if only you'd fight me just one time… Just once, you asshole!

But you don't listen.

Your coach's hand will be next.

What do you say?

[exhales]

[man] Huh? What do you say?

[suspenseful music playing]

Where do I meet you?

That's right. That's the right attitude.

Wait for my next call.

[music swells]

[reporter] Special Operation Unit Sergeant Kim Cheon-gyu

The lead investigator, Min Gang-yong of the Major Crimes Investigation Division,

was also severely injured and has been transferred to a nearby hospital.

12 CASUALTIES IN GANGNAM HOTEL EXPLOSION

[somber music continues]

[phone buzzing]

- [man] Did you check the patient's vitals? - [woman] I'm on my way.

[cell phone buzzing]

LEE WOO-JEONG WOO-JIN

[cell phone buzzes]

Hello? Yes?

You're on a group call. It's Woo-jeong. Are you there?

- Yes. - [Woo-jin] I'm here, Woo-jeong.

Where are you both right now?

Mr. Moon brought me to a repair shop that he knows well.

We have the girl who drugged Min-beom with us.

Gun-woo, where are you?

Gang-yong got hurt. I'm at the hospital.

Gang-yong got hurt?

- [Mr. Moon] Where is he? - How? What happened?

[Woo-jeong] Woo-jin, wait a minute. Could you please hold for a moment?

- Yes. - Gun-woo, how bad is everything?

Gang-yong,

he's being given a CT scan right now.

[Woo-jeong] What condition is he in?

He's unresponsive.

- He's not responding. - Shit! Fuck!

Then could you please stay where you are and let me know if anything changes?

Will you do that for me?

Of course.

[Woo-jeong] I'll head over to the repair shop then. Woo-jin, give me the address.

[Woo-jin] I'll send it right away.

[tense electronic music playing]

BLOODHOUNDS 2

[tense music playing]

[sighs] Stay here.

Yes, of course.

[Director Kang] When your father told me what happened, I planned to see you.

I'm sorry I'm late.

What is it you need?

I need a specialist.

Is that what you want?

Yes. I need a person to be killed.

This the one who drugged you?

The one who ordered it.

[sighs]

Why were you drugged?

You did something?

[exhales]

I have an employee that cleans things.

I can put him on this one, but

think it over carefully.

If the guy deserves it.

I will return the favor any time.

All right.

The job will get done.

I'm thankful for this.

[music fades]

- [Mr. Moon] Tell us! Who ordered the job? - Oh, shut up!

Oh, fuck!

I've had enough. I'm not in any mood for your games.

So tell me, who did it, huh? Who ordered it?

Get close to me, okay?

[sighs]

Tell me.

Get closer.

This is stupid fucking shit. Tell me! Who is it?

No, because it's a secret.

Hmm.

Hey, come on. Tell me the secret.

What?

- [Mr. Moon screams] - [Woo-jin] Oh shit! Let go of him!

- Oh fuck! What the hell? - [Gi-na laughs]

- [Mr. Moon] You're fucking crazy! - [Gi-na laughs]

[Mr. Moon] Let me go.

- [Gi-na laughs] - No, don't do that. No.

Oh, whoa!

- Fucking let go of me! Let go! - Control yourself.

Hold it together. Mr. Moon.

[groans] All right.

- [Mr. Moon exhales] - [Gi-na laughs]

It's all right. It's okay. Let go. I'm fine.

[Gi-na laughs]

Having a laugh?

Yeah, it's so funny. It's so great.

Yeah, it's funny. It's so fun.

Oh, my stomach hurts. [laughs]

- Wow, young lady. - [Gi-na sighs]

Look at you, with your pretty legs.

You must be popular.

But what if I break them?

It won't take much to break your knees.

[tense music playing]

They'll never heal and you won't walk again.

Is that what you need?

Hmm? [laughs]

- [whimpers] - [Mr. Moon] I'm ready.

[tearfully] Please don't do that.

I'm so very frightened. You won't do that, will you?

- I'm so very sorry. Please don't do that. - So then just tell me. It's okay.

Please, go ahead. Tell me, who was it? Stop crying. Just tell me. [chuckles]

- [music stops] - [mocking] "Just tell me."

[Gi-na laughing]

You fucking idiot! You're a fucking asshole.

- Stupid shithead. - Fuck you!

- [Sun-bo] No! Don't let her get to you! - Let go of me! She needs a lesson!

- [Gi-na laughs] - [Mr. Moon] Fucking hell!

You're asking to get hurt.

[tense music playing]

You want to be punished?

Mm.

I like it very hard.

How will you punish me?

- Fuck. - [laughing]

[laughs]

Hit me.

Do it. [chuckles] Go on, do it.

[sighs]

The guy said if I open up here

and say who paid for it,

then he will cut off my feet,

and sell me to be trafficked in Southeast Asia.

You would keep your mouth shut too.

[exhales]

[grunts]

[cell phone buzzes]

LEE WOO-JEONG

[Woo-jin] Woo-jeong. I'm here.

Are there any updates on the girl?

We threatened her, but she's not saying anything to us.

She's a very tough one. She almost bit Mr. Moon's ear off.

Did Mr. Moon do anything to her?

Not at all. No one hurt her. No one touched her. We made threats.

[exhales]

So, is she the one who contacted Mr. Min and gave him the info of the hotel?

Is that what happened?

No. Tae-yeong hacked her phone and found it that way.

Ah.

Woo-jeong, could you then go inside and maybe see her yourself?

Sure. Please tell me who she is.

Oh, come on. Just one cigarette.

You're all such fucking tight-asses!

All sorts of tactics. Damn it.

- Mr. Moon. - Yes?

- [Woo-jeong] Hello. - [Mr. Moon] Oh, you came.

Woo-jeong, welcome. Well, I can't get through.

- You might be able to reason with her. - Sure. I will try speaking with her.

Good luck.

Who said you could sit?

- Fuck off, you disgusting ass! - [grunts]

Will you go fuck off?! What's wrong with you?!

- Fuck this, seriously. - Ah, don't do it!

Is it okay if I sit here?

[chuckles derisively]

[Gi-na sighs]

Will you… work things out?

I'd appreciate it if you could cooperate with us.

[spits]

I can wait longer if you need.

Ah, this fucking sucks! Who brought this guy?

[sighs]

Hey.

Just go fuck yourself already.

The police got info from your phone and were able to raid the hotel.

Did you know that?

They probably think you leaked the information

and they're looking for you right now.

You know how they'll hurt you.

They won't forgive you for the breach.

They'll never believe you, no matter how much you try and explain.

They'll track you down and they'll get their revenge.

So if you cooperate with us… we can make sure you'll be safe.

How can you find a way to protect me from them?

You see, if we catch them first, there'll be no way for them to try and hurt you.

That'll be how we do it. The next step would be a reduced sentence.

Are you fucking stupid or out of your mind?

Why would I go to jail? I have nothing to confess. Got it?

Gi-na? This is the deal.

If you cooperate with us…

we can help you out of the situation safely.

Trust me.

[exhales]

[sighs]

Let me go.

The tape.

Sun-bo, you've got a knife?

Woo-jeong, think it through.

[music fades]

[Woo-jeong] Thank you, Sun-bo.

The person who hired me is Lee Man-bae.

You know where he is now?

[tense music playing]

Why would I know that?

I only meet him when he has a job for me.

[Woo-jeong] How long have you known him?

It's been three years when he gave me the first job.

What did you do for him then?

[laughs]

Hey. For crying out loud, why would I tell you?

Such a bitch.

[Gi-na scoffs]

Then can you say the names of who Lee Man-bae's working with?

How would I know? I've met him once.

Why don't you give us some more information about how he operates?

Hey, you there.

[groans]

She has a lot of tactics.

A while ago, we drank so much we blacked out.

That's when he told me he used to do work for the National Intelligence Service.

But he left that job because he had some troubles with money.

He couldn't find another job,

so he started connecting people with the ones from the service.

He seemed honest about that.

But who knows for sure? He's not exactly the open type.

You have his contact info?

It changes every time he calls.

He never answers when I call.

So we correspond via text, and I'd wait.

What was the drug you put in Min-beom's drink?

- [tense music continues] - Four-eyes.

Yeah?

Bring my bag here.

Will you help us meet with Lee Man-bae?

[sighs]

I'd get fucked then.

[Woo-jin] Gi-na.

We're in the same position.

You can only live if we catch them.

Oh, damn this to hell.

[Gi-na sighs]

It's already so late. Tomorrow, I will.

[Sun-bo exhales]

[Mr. Moon chuckles]

Fine. We'll bring you to the hotel.

It's where we are.

Your place is too dangerous.

[scoffs]

[music intensifies]

This way.

[lock beeps]

[beeps]

[music fades]

[door handle rattles]

[sighs]

[lock beeps]

- Gun-woo, you're here? - [Woo-jeong] Hello.

[door closes]

When did you get back from the hospital?

Are you okay?

The doctor said I should go home.

How's Gang-yong?

He's still in the ER.

He's still unconscious.

So he's the same.

How are you? Did you get hurt? You okay?

You know,

I've been thinking about it.

I've thought it over.

I can't stop thinking…

that it's my fault.

That all of it's my fault.

No, it's not. It's not at all.

I should have just--

[Woo-jin] Gun-woo, listen to me, okay? Hey.

Just please hear me. Gun-woo.

Look at me. Okay? Hey, Kim Gun-woo.

Min-beom, Gang-yong, and Mr. Moon,

they were the ones who wanted to join us.

No matter what, they would have fought with us anyway. You know that.

We couldn't have stopped them from joining us,

and I understand why they've chosen to.

They've got to fight with us.

Why?

Because you did.

[poignant music playing]

You risked your life to fight for all of us.

We're connected because of you, Gun-woo.

You know that, right?

If you're gone from our lives,

it's like…

It's just not possible.

So if you're in danger or in trouble,

we all have to make sure to protect you.

Look at Gang-yong and Mr. Moon for example.

A loan shark and a cop?

They don't really fit together, and yet, it's working out.

Do you know why that is? Huh?

Gun-woo,

it's because of you…

that we're a family.

You're not the one causing problems.

You're keeping us alive.

It's all because of you that I'm here. [sniffs]

[sniffles]

[cries]

- So, Gun-woo-- - [Gun-woo cries]

[Woo-jin] You know our rule, right?

Once a family…

[cries]

A… always family.

And family?

Keep each other

s, s, safe… [crying]

…until we die.

Min-beom and Gang-yong will wake up soon. They're really tough folks, you know.

So then,

you need to keep it together for them.

Understand?

Mm-hmm.

[sniffs]

Feeling hungry?

Woo-jeong, are you hungry? Let's order some room service.

Does a bunch of dishes, sound good?

[Woo-jeong] Yeah, sounds great.

[Woo-jin] What should we order?

[Gun-woo] Woo-jin's right.

I'll protect.

I have to protect my family with my own hands.

[music fades]

Hold on. This guy.

He's got a crazy long reach. He'll do well against Gun-woo. Next.

Scroll down.

[tense music playing]

That one.

[chuckles] I want this fucker. He's a dirty fighter.

The exact opposite of Gun-woo.

Good shit. This'll be fun.

[music fades]

Hi, Tae-yeong. What is it?

You've got to see this.

It says this Thursday at 11 p.m., Gun-woo's going to fight.

When did you see this?

It was put up just right now.

Where's Gun-woo?

- [Woo-jin] He must have gone to exercise. - They won't stop trying to get Gun-woo.

[somber music playing]

[monitor beeping steadily]

[respirator pulsing]

You have a linear fracture. It's in the frontal bone area.

Can you see it?

Frontal bone?

[doctor] This is a hairline fracture.

The hematoma is causing intracranial pressure.

Until the pressure stops and returns to normal, you need to get plenty of rest.

I get it. Thank you.

[doctor] Wait, hold on.

There can be complications.

I realize the complications. Thanks for your time.

We need to monitor it regularly.

Thanks again. Have a good day.

If the pressure increases, you'll need surgery!

[groans]

- There hasn't been a response yet? - Nope.

Does Lee Man-bae normally take a while to respond to you?

It always changes.

[coffee cup clinks]

I want an iced coffee.

[sighs]

[lock beeps]

[music fades]

- [Woo-jin] Did you work out? - Yeah, I went downstairs.

I could have gone with you.

You were sleeping deeply, so I went by myself.

[Woo-jin] Then tomorrow,

we'll exercise together.

[somber music playing]

Mm.

[cell phone buzzing]

GANG-YONG

Hello?

It's Gang-yong. Our champ, where are you?

[exhales]

[sighs] You okay?

We've been all staying here at the hotel.

- [Gang-yong] Hey. - Hello.

This way.

Please, over here.

Mr. Min!

Hi there. All right.

Mr. Min, you're fine? You must be if you're out.

- [Gang-yong] I've got to keep it easy. - [Mr. Moon] Okay, good.

Don't worry.

[poignant music playing]

Let's talk.

Yes.

Who could have told them we were on our way?

I thought about every detective

and Special Operation Unit officers who were at the scene.

- I can't figure any of it out. - [pensive music playing]

The dead are the only ones who aren't suspects right now.

Maybe it was one of the hotel workers I talked to.

Someone at the front desk when I called.

Then someone could have overheard and leaked it.

Is this… what we need to be focused on right now?

Mr. Min, it would be logical to look at Lee Man-bae now.

We should move on our own.

Everyone wants to get us, so

we'll split up into two.

Woo-jeong and I will follow Lee Man-bae,

and Woo-jin and Gwang-mu will…

Oh, wait, I'm sorry. No. Oh. No, my apologies.

Ah, it's all right. You don't have to be too formal with me.

[chuckles] You both will handle Yun Tae-geom's family.

- We have no idea when he might show up. - Yes.

Mr. Min, we found the drug used in President Hong's drink.

We sent it to Forensic Service.

[Gang-yong] Good. When will the results come out?

- [Woo-jeong] The day after tomorrow. - [Gang-yong] Great.

MARCH 13, 22:00 OLD BLDG. OF KOERI

Gun-woo.

- [Mr. Moon] You okay? - Yes?

Mr. Min wants to talk to you.

Yes, sir?

What do you wanna do?

What?

Uh, sir. Gun-woo can maybe stay here?

It could help if he stays in this building.

Yes. The IKFC website had a post today

that said Gun-woo was going to be having a fight there this Thursday night.

They'll do anything to get him to fight.

Since there's tight security, this place will be the safest.

That's right. Yeah. It's for the best.

Stay here for a bit longer. We'll catch them, no matter what.

Yes. Sir.

We're in this together.

Yes!

- Good. One, two, three. - [all] Let's do it!

[electronic voice] Half. Call. Call, call.

Half. Call.

Half. Call.

[Woo-jeong sighs]

[video game coins rattle]

MANJI: WHERE ARE YOU?

[tense music playing]

Shit, fuck.

TARGET IN FRONT OF SOCIETY CAFE ELIMINATE IMMEDIATELY

- [dramatic music playing] - [bike revving]

[wheezes]

[bystanders scream]

No! Shit!

Gi-na. Gi-na! Fuck.

- Look at me, Stay with us. - [Gang-yong] Someone's been hurt!

674, Seoksan-dong, Jungang-gu. Please hurry, please!

[tense music playing]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunting rapidly]

[music fades]

[somber music playing]

Just going for a short walk.

Follow me.

[ominous music playing]

Sit down.

[tense music playing]

It's good to see you in person. To think we could have done this sooner,

You stupid fucking asshole.

I lost billions because of you.

[sighs]

Anyway.

So tell me what makes you fight.

Family?

Friends?

Those aren't forever.

They'll leave in the end.

It's money that stays. It's what'll last.

Only the funds in your bank are what protect you.

Money's what I fucking love.

Because money stays with you, never betrays you.

Boxing was invented to make money.

That's why the same weight-classed fighters are matched,

so they could last longer.

Better for television, for ads.

Boxers rest just enough to stay alive for another one.

These rules… were all made to make a lot of money.

So that's why

you're gonna make money too.

Got it?

I don't want money,

but let's do this.

Well done.

Then beat two assholes first.

[scoffs]

And…

if you lose…

your whole family will die.

[inhales sharply]

[tense music builds]

[gasps]

[knocking on door]

- Gun-woo! - Gun-woo?

Anything wrong?

- [Tae-yeong] We need to see Gun-woo. - He just went out for a short walk.

- [gasps] - [So-yeon] He did?

GUN-WOO

[electronic voice] Phone is turned off. You will be connected to voicemail.

[music fades]

[Tae-geom] Wrap these on your knuckles.

This is how they fight here.

I'll keep fighting the way I do.

You won't win without these.

[high-pitched ringing]

Ow! [winces]

The IKFC debut of the WBC super middleweight champion begins.

Fighting out of Seoul, South Korea, Kim "Scarface" Gun-woo!

His opponent, with an IKFC record of seven wins and three losses,

Metal Mantis!

And let's blow this shit up!

[beeping rapidly]

[door clangs]

Let's fight!

[LOL] All right, the first fight has just begun.

Oh! Metal Mantis just landed a sweet jab on his face.

Look at him. He's smiling.

He's literally enjoying this fight.

Whoa! Now it's getting wild now, yo.

They are throwing shots at each other like there's no tomorrow.

Oh, look at him. Look at champ's head movement. That is insane.

He's way too big, way too fast.

Ooh!

[breathing heavily]

Uh-oh. What is he up to?

Ooh! Jeez, his footstep is getting faster now.

It is getting faster, and faster. What is he--

Oh!

Boom! Goddamn! He just knocked him out with a fucking single shot!

- He takes the win! Let's go! - They love him. It's insane. [laughs]

[tense music playing]

They think Scarface… He might be stronger than Hunter.

[chuckles]

[Gang-yong] You see "KOERI"? Look it up.

Korea Ocean Engineering Research Institute.

- Send officers there. - Yes.

[man] Let's fight!

Hey. Over here. It's game time.

[dramatic music playing]

[chuckling] All right.

[both grunting]

All right, try and hit me!

[grunting on live stream]

[both grunting]

[gasping]

[tense music playing]

[grunting on live stream]

I got you!

Shit! Shit.

- [music fades] - [panting]

[thuds]

[sighs]

[panting]

Get down here!

[uneasy music playing]

- Put this asshole on the Intranet. - [Tae-yeong] Will do.

Let's fight!

[tense music playing]

[grunting]

[groans] Ugh!

[dramatic music playing]

[grunting continues]

[groans]

[grunting]

Oh, shit. Fuck.

- [tense music playing] - [coughs]

[groans]

[groans]

[cries out] Agh!

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[snarls]

- [dramatic music playing] - [both grunting]

[yells]

[grunting ferociously]

[Gun-woo yells]

[grunts]

Oh no! Poor Gun-woo! [sobbing]

[somber music playing]

[grunts echoing]

[groans echoing]

[Gun-woo yells] Ay!

[grunts echoing]

[groans echoing]

[grunting continues]

[groans]

[yells in pain] Agh!

[music stops]

[groans]

[yells]

[somber music playing]

[panting]

Oh shit! We've got three minutes to get out. The cops are here!

We've got to go now! The police!

President Im. We gotta go. We have to leave now!

Let go, you little shithead!

Listen up. The cops are here. We gotta go!

[sirens wail]

[tires screech]

- [officer 1] Doors are wedged! - [officer 2] Bolt cutters!

[officer 3] I have them!

[snarls]

- I've got them. - Run! Hurry!

- [officer 2] Get in there! - [officer 3] Go in now! Hurry!

[breathes heavily]

[officer 1] Grab them! Over there!

[gasping for air]

[officer 1] Hurry! Go faster!

[officer 4] We need an ambulance!

[music fades]

[labored breathing]

[Gun-woo] Woo-jin.

Gun-woo.

[Gun-woo groaning]

Hey, hey, be careful. Take it easy.

[Gun-woo breathes heavily]

When did you get here?

[pensive music playing]

Just about an hour ago.

How are you?

[Gun-woo] Mm.

Why'd you go there?

If I didn't show up, then…

they'd hurt Mom and you.

It could have been much worse.

I'm so sorry.

Why would you be sorry?

I'm very sorry.

Gun-woo, I already knew you did it for us.

That's who you are.

You protect others. [sighs]

But, Gun-woo,

we always need to stick together.

That is what Mr. Choi told us.

[sighs]

From now on, let's stick together.

You got that?

If we die, we die together.

If we live, we live together.

That's who we are.

[music fades]

[man] Im Baek-jeong was born in 1985.

He won a silver medal in the light heavyweight division

at the Incheon Asian Games in 2014.

He turned pro and won 17 matches in a row.

He lost to the WBA light heavyweight champion Chris Dustin.

He refused to accept the decision

and protested by assaulting the referee and got physical with his coach.

He ended up serving time for assaulting the referee

and was banned from the boxing association when he disappeared.

Put a wanted alert.

Yes, sir. We will.

[man] That was the most… entertaining match so far.

The interesting thing is your fan base is usually most excited

about the kind of fouls that you don't see in mainstream fights,

but yesterday it wasn't the case.

Baek-jeong, you beautiful, dirty son of a bitch,

when you fouled against Gun-woo, the audience was up in arms.

I think we've found

the ultimate protagonist that everyone wants to cheer for.

So I've decided to buy the IKFC

for $400 million.

51% shares, exactly.

However, I have two conditions.

First, a contract signed by Gun-woo to fight three years exclusively in the IKFC.

Number two, you will lose to Gun-woo in the next fight.

The IKFC doesn't need two shining stars.

Gun-woo's gonna be our new mascot, and eventually, the face of the IKFC.

That means, Baek-jeong, you're gonna have to step down.

[tense music playing]

Are you fucking kidding me? This is my world.

I created the IKFC.

And that's why I'm paying you and buying 51% of the shares.

I don't like it.

And one more thing.

What?

If I see you,

I'll kill you.

Go fuck yourself.

Yeah, fuck you, too, you fucking bastard!

[sighs]

What are you doing? He offered us $400 million! This is what we want!

[groans] Ah!

[growls softly]

- [groans] - [Baek-jeong] Fucking asshole.

I'll do this my way. You stupid fuck.

[breathes heavily]

You run your fucking mouth again and you die, all right?

Okay. Yes, sir!

[gasps]

[sighs]

[Baek-jeong sighs]

President Im.

The police have issued a wanted alert for you.

What?

How'd that happen?

You'll need to leave. You've got to get out of Korea.

I can arrange it. A jet just for you.

Oh, shit's fucking… [sighs]

[sighs]

- Get me Gun-woo's mom - What?

If I have her, that asshole will listen and follow!

This time, it'll be to the death.

'Cause only one of us is going down.

Those fucking bastards!

I'll show them who the real deal is.

I'll turn it all upside down.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[tense electronic music playing]

[music fades]

[Baek-jeong breathes deeply]

Give me four days and I can arrange the flight.

[tense music playing]

So, where are we going?

I'm thinking maybe Thailand or Vietnam,

but it might be easier for you in Thailand because you know people there.

Yeah.

I'll go through and make the arrangements.

I'd also recommend some S-class bloodhounds.

If you have three, then that should get the job done.

That is

if you're trying to kidnap Kim Gun-woo's mother.

How much?

300 million each. So 900 million.

[chuckles softly]

[Man-bae] You're wanted and we don't have much time.

We have to do this the right way.

It's a

necessary investment.

S-class is special,

I promise you with my life,

because they'll do the job right.

Get us two, would ya? You're number three.

I understand.

[music fades]

- [phone buzzing] - Who's that?

It's just my mother.

Then take it.

- Hey. - [mother] Where are you right now?

- Why? - Min-a got hit by a car.

What? How bad is it?

- Where are you? - The ER at Seonkuk University Medical.

- Hurry up and get here. - Got it.

[tense music playing]

My daughter was hit by a car. They're at the hospital.

Go then.

[breathes shakily]

[tires screeching]

Show me your ID, please.

[Tae-geom breathes shakily] Just a second.

- And the name of the patient? - Yun Min-a.

Okay, come on in. Room's around the corner and to the left.

[panting]

Min-a.

Oh, Dad!

I need you all in position.

Are you okay?

Huh?

Listen to me.

Please stop doing this.

[gasps]

Tae-geom. Tae-geom!

That's enough. Hey, stop!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Put the guns down.

- Put the guns down. - Min-a.

Close your eyes and hold on tight.

[Gang-yong] It's all right. Put them down.

Hey! Put them down. It's okay.

It's okay.

Tae-geom, hey.

We're not gonna hurt you.

Let's just talk.

I promise, I'm really just here to talk to you.

[sighs]

I also have a young daughter.

From one dad to another,

let's just talk about it.

[water running]

[suspenseful music playing]

Sir, what brings you in?

A guest sent by your uncle has arrived, sir.

[music fades]

I want to thank you for coming here.

Nice to meet you. I'm Choi Sin-hyeong.

[tense music playing]

Hmm. I know the name's a bit unusual.

It's a code name I go by.

[tense electronic music playing]

BLOODHOUNDS 2

[music fades]

If they were to bring you in, you'd get a life sentence or the death penalty.

If you help us, I'll do my very best to get you the life sentence.

- [uneasy music playing] - And what would be the point of that?

If you're sentenced to death, you won't be able to have visitors or seek parole.

But with a life sentence, it could be possible to get parole,

assuming that you're good.

[sighs]

Yun Tae-geom, sir.

I mean, bro.

Didn't you start working under Im Baek-jeong to provide for your family?

[chuckles] Well, then, you should do whatever it takes

so you can live to protect your mother and daughter.

Your family? They're never gonna give up on you, no matter how much you screw up.

And your mother?

That woman would do almost anything to save her child, even if it kills her.

You know that. And your daughter?

Hey, man, your daughter, I bet she'd wait her whole fucking life just to see you.

But man, "the point?" [scoffs]

You can't see the point? Is that it, huh?

Is that the type of dad that they need?

Fine, then.

Be that guy.

Tae-geom, please.

It's not over until it's over.

We could still do more for each other. I'm sure of it.

[tense music playing]

So, how about you join us?

[Tae-geom exhales]

Keep my family safe from Im Baek-jeong.

I promise you that.

[exhales]

What do you want me to say?

Well, first, where is Im Baek-jeong?

He's on the move, aboard his yacht on the Han River.

If I contact him, he'll tell me the pickup point.

The yacht could be docking at one of three positions.

He's a smart guy.

How about we raid them tonight?

If by chance we fail to arrest him,

won't Tae-geom be in danger?

How about we maintain his cover and wait for the right opportunity?

We could. You're right.

But, um, how did he know we would be raiding the Entra Hotel?

I believe he was informed by an employee.

[exhales]

Lots of people in his circle, then?

Yes.

Who's organizing all this for him? That's what I need from you.

Could it… could it be a cop?

There's a guy called Lee Dong-hyeon. He was an NIS agent.

Lee Man-bae, right?

His actual name is Lee Dong-hyeon.

Is he the one who gave the order to kill Gi-na?

Yes.

So, who in the police force does he control?

I'm not sure yet.

I know for sure there was more than one.

I could hear that much from his phone call.

He's a meticulous man.

Then it's possible he could have heard about the wanted alert.

Lee Dong-hyeon's looking for a private plane.

I'll bet you he's going to Thailand.

He couldn't do that with a warrant though.

He's the kind of man that would make it happen.

[scoffs]

Our goal

is to capture Kim Gun-woo's mother and take her to Thailand.

Im Baek-jeong wants to fight Kim Gun-woo again.

So he plans to kidnap his mother to lure him in.

For ransom money?

It seems that Baek-jeong has a more personal reason.

I think he believes he lost to Kim Gun-woo in that previous fight they had.

Because viewers all over the world rooted for Kim Gun-woo to win.

So while everyone's watching,

Kim Gun-woo's going to be killed.

Gun-woo's gonna what?

There are a few ways to fight in the IKFC.

One of those is a death match.

They fight until one of them dies.

That's the fight that makes the most money.

So kidnapping Gun-woo's mother. How's he doing it?

Dong-hyeon is paying S-class bloodhounds.

What's that?

They're professional killers for hire.

The S-class means that Dong-hyeon's people are as deadly as they could be.

So then, do you think he also knows where Gun-woo's mother is staying?

I don't have a clue.

It wasn't ever mentioned?

No.

[Gang-yong sighs]

[phone buzzing]

PRESIDENT

Im Baek-jeong?

Let's tell him that Min-a hurt her head and she's waiting for a scan right now.

[Tae-geom] Sir.

[Baek-jeong] How is she?

She hit her head pretty bad on the ground. She's gonna get a CT scan.

- [Baek-jeong] Wrap it up and get back. - Okay.

[sighs]

[Gang-yong] Tae-geom.

[tense music builds]

[music fades]

- [nurse] Kim Jin-su, please come in. - [man] Okay.

The wound is healing well, so you don't have anything to worry about.

I appreciate it.

How's your shoulder?

Um, it hurts a little.

Could I see it?

[Gun-woo winces]

Do you need painkillers?

I'll be okay.

[doctor] All right, then.

Min-beom.

How's it going?

This room is so small.

You want me to upgrade you?

Oh, no, this room's already too much for me, but thanks anyway.

I'm going to the hospital to visit Gang-yong.

- Could you let me come? - No, you shouldn't.

I'll talk to him and call you.

Just rest up.

Okay.

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

[breathes deeply]

[mysterious music playing]

Seul-gi, have you thought about your code name?

I haven't thought of anything yet.

You know, your look is delicate,

so it's important that you pick a strong name.

Something like… Jung Hwa-gi.

Jung Hwa-gi?

- You don't like it? - It'd be an honor.

I'm just joking.

- [exhales] - [Sin-hyeong] What kind of name is Hwa-gi?

How about Kang Ryeok-han?

Ryeok-han?

Mm.

Incredible.

I'm good at making code names.

[phone chimes and buzzes]

Hello?

- The meeting's about to start. - [Sin-hyeong] All right.

[tense music playing]

HONG MIN-BEOM PRESIDENT OF IIL GROUP

We'll have two chances. When they come to kidnap Gun-woo's mother.

And when they get off the yacht to flee abroad.

Is this person trustworthy?

Yun Tae-geom?

- We'd say he's worthy of your trust. - Hmm. I agree with that.

How about Gun-woo's mother? Is she safe?

[Gang-yong] Well, we did talk about that too.

Where she's at now is the safest.

Woo-jin and Woo-jeong will stay at the hotel

and they have guards to keep her safe.

[Min-beom] So if they're after his mother,

does Gun-woo know?

He doesn't know. Gun-woo wouldn't think twice about leaving the hospital.

Probably, yeah.

I'd like it if he could just focus on his recovery.

I believe we can ensure his mother's safety.

It'll be more dangerous if Gun-woo fights in his current state.

[poignant music playing]

So…

what do we do once we catch 'em?

Hmm?

[chuckles]

Punish them to the fullest legal extent.

That doesn't feel like enough.

I'm still anxious with Kim Myeong-gil behind bars.

We need something… more.

So then how do you wanna deal with it?

[Min-beom] Could you excuse us?

No, Gwang-mu, it's okay.

It's okay. Just say it.

[music fades]

I want him dead.

[tense music playing]

My uncle

assigned some agents to me.

[Gang-yong] What kind of agents?

Black ops.

[exhales] This issue is ours. There's no reason for the NIS to get involved.

- Well, can you kill these guys? - [Gang-yong] Min-beom.

We have to… let them spend the rest of their lives in jail,

reflecting on what they've done,

and return all that stolen wealth back to society.

Do you understand?

I need to see these stupid fucks gone.

You know that isn't justice.

I have people.

Min-beom, we need to be on the same page about this.

Then I'll do it my way.

[music fades]

You should know, my dad won bronze at the Barcelona Olympics,

so I asked him if he happened to know of a guy named Im Baek-jeong.

Apparently, Im Baek-jeong was a student to his friend.

Whoa.

He remembered him because he said he was ambidextrous and had a really good hook.

According to my father, everyone expected him to become a world champion,

but he's a piece of shit, I guess, and he totally ruined it for himself.

Mm.

So then, I asked him some more about it

to see if he might be in touch with the coach who taught Im Baek-jeong.

I mean a coach is the person who would know almost anything about his boxer.

Go-to moves, weaknesses, all his steps.

That's right. I bet that you'd know all of my weaknesses.

I, um, watched the video of you fighting Im Baek-jeong over and over again.

I was thinking about what kind of advice I could give you

to help you beat him in a fight, and…

[sighs]

I don't think I'm a good enough coach. I'm at a loss for answers.

I promise it's not your coaching.

I don't know if I've seen an ambidextrous fighter that could change up his stance.

I just couldn't keep up with him.

Well, his left jab looked super strong and heavy.

It was. Also, that right hand's fast.

Honestly, I can't really remember how I fought.

[poignant music playing]

Yeah, so, Gun-woo, how about we go and get you trained by that coach?

You know, the one who taught Im Baek-jeong?

This coach could know

the method that might beat Im Baek-jeong.

- Good idea. - Is it?

I want to win.

[music fades]

Argh. Ow.

- I'm okay, I'm okay. - What are you doing?

Huh?

- There's food. - Oh.

- [So-yeon] Eat slowly. - [Gun-woo] Hmm.

Here.

[gentle music playing]

I don't want you guys to be getting into something dangerous.

It just breaks my heart when you guys get hurt.

Don't worry too much, Mom.

How can I not worry when you're hurt like that?

I'll take better care of him, Mom.

Go ahead.

- Is there any kimchi? - Just eat your food.

[Gun-woo] Mm.

Let's grab those kimchi noodles from the convenience store afterwards.

- Pretty much the same thing. - Let's do that.

[chuckles softly]

Damn, this egg tastes better cold.

[So-yeon] I used the entire carton of eggs.

Don't eat too fast.

- [Gun-woo] Hmm. - [So-yeon] Here.

[music stops]

We are currently divided into two teams that are working in two shifts.

As of now, both Team A and Team B will be staying on the 16th floor of the hotel.

If we encounter a situation, both teams can respond together.

So then, how many people is that?

There are a total of 12 personnel.

Uh, you can vouch for their skills?

Yes, you don't have to worry.

Ah.

[tense music playing]

Uh, when…

When we take down Im Baek-jeong,

will the Major Crimes Unit be enough?

No, not at all.

Should I call the mobile unit?

Uh, that's not what I meant.

We still don't know who took the money from Im Baek-jeong, and it's worrying.

[Gang-yong sighs]

Mr. Min, would you like me to get some Marines?

It wouldn't work.

Oh, yeah. [exhales]

What about the Green Pine Tree Club?

Oh.

Yoon Han-gu, the sergeant?

Is Han-gu in Suwon currently?

Yeah. Baek-jeong's money shouldn't have gone out that far so…

[snaps fingers]

Okay, I'll reach out to him.

[music stops]

[ominous music playing]

[Man-bae] Hey.

Hey, Diego.

You sure know how to pick a place to meet.

Happy birthday, Captain.

I asked for US dollars.

I'm sorry. I didn't have enough time.

I'm gonna need an extra 10% when we get to Bangkok.

[tense music playing]

Yeah, fine.

Wednesday, 3 a.m.

[Diego] See you in Cheongju.

Yeah. Okay.

Understood.

Let's get the stitches removed tomorrow at 10:00.

I'll handle it, sir.

Two nights from now, Gun-woo's mother will go to the airport.

Say goodbye to your daughter. It's gonna be a while.

[sighs]

Yes.

[music fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

Han-gu, thanks a lot.

Anything for family. This is the Violent Crimes Unit.

- [Gang-yong] Hi. - He's our head detective.

- [Gang-yong] Thank you for coming. - Nice to meet you.

The owner of the veterinary clinic, Moon Dong-jo,

has served three prison terms for manufacturing and distributing narcotics.

He's been practicing illegally since his license was revoked in 2022.

Here are photos from the site.

Now, let me explain the mission.

Team 1 will wait at the back door of the clinic,

Team 2 at the restaurant, and Team 3 at the salon.

Headquarters will give a signal to move in once the suspect enters the clinic.

Suspects may try to escape through the back door of the clinic.

Team 1, be as vigilant as possible.

Now, some key info.

Trust only the people in this room.

If you see any unexpected backup, be on your guard.

It's possible there are cops who've been bought.

Let's work together and show them all what great cops are really made of.

[all] Yes, sir!

Oh shit. Motherfucker.

DIRECTOR OF INVESTIGATIONS

[somber music playing]

We need to move Yun Tae-geom's family to a safe house.

Isn't Im Baek-jeong wanted?

He won't have time for revenge if he's busy running.

Im Baek-jeong will never stop, even if he's running,

Enough. That's too much.

In what world is it too much?

Yun Tae-geom was murdered while helping the police.

He was working with us.

Isn't it our duty to ensure that his family will be safe?

They can hire private security.

Who will take responsibility if that team fails?

That security team will.

That's why they'll handle it.

[gasps]

Don't cause any trouble and protect a criminal's family.

Instead, try to get the bastard.

[gasps]

If security's so important to you, figure it out yourself.

We need to eat. Woo-jin?

[tender music playing]

Have a couple of bites. Eat a bit to take your medicine.

[Gun-woo sighs]

[cell phone buzzing]

LEE WOO-JEONG

Excuse me.

Yes, Woo-jeong?

[Woo-jeong] Gun-woo, is everything all right?

Yes.

[Woo-jeong] I was told Mr. Min came out of surgery and he's in the ICU.

His condition's stable, but we'll need to wait and see.

We're trying to find your mother's location.

Since it's an area without CCTVs, we're having difficulties.

I'll keep you updated about it.

Thanks for letting me know.

And how's Mr. Moon doing?

[Woo-jeong] He's awake now. You should give him a call.

Okay.

[Woo-jeong] Gun-woo,

do you know where you might want to stay after you're discharged?

I haven't thought about it yet.

Could Yun Tae-geom's family stay with you?

If you're planning on being home? Just his mom and young daughter?

Yes. I have a spare room there.

Im Baek-jeong killed him once he found out he also helped us.

Im Baek-jeong might try murdering Tae-geom's family.

I think it's only right if we protect them.

We don't have any resources available so I can only protect them myself now.

It's okay. They're welcome to stay.

[music fades]

[Sin-hyeong] Our employees work with Special Forces

for their anti-terrorism exercises.

That must be when Lee Dong-hyeon first met Yun Tae-geom.

Yun Tae-geom introduced him to Im Baek-jeong later on.

Can you locate him?

Lee Dong-hyeon was a black ops agent.

He's an expert at hiding so he can't be found.

He might be getting ready to go overseas, because he's wanted.

We won't let him.

I'll give you the support you need to stop him from running off.

[ominous music plays]

Im Baek-jeong has made a lot of money from illegal boxing online.

I have an offer.

We could work together and help society.

[tense music playing]

We'll set up a match so Im Baek-jeong will gamble everything he has in one go.

How?

We'll offer him another round with Gun-woo.

You'll put in 100 billion won.

Im Baek-jeong will put down 100 billion won too.

And the winner will take it all.

You think he'll go for this?

If he thinks he can win everything.

If it's something he wants, he'll be there.

He's not the type to be scared easily.

And since he has a hostage,

he will believe that he has a shield from the police.

[music fades]

[Mr. Moon] I fractured my collarbone.

And my cheekbone

is caved in, according to the doctors.

[sighs] I feel really bad. I should've been there with you guys too.

Gun-woo,

you're not Superman.

No one is.

Just be a good friend to Woo-jin, Gun-woo.

[poignant music playing]

Just remember that

no one's always a hero.

Okay.

That's good. What are you gonna do?

I'll go back to the house tomorrow.

I contacted a friend.

He's gonna help you out while I recover here.

Who is it?

When you see him, you'll know who it is.

Thanks.

Let's go.

[Gun-woo sighs]

[music fades]

- [doorbell chimes] - [vacuum stops]

[gentle music playing]

- [Woo-jeong] Gun-woo. - Hello.

Okay, let's go inside.

Please, watch your step.

Hello.

I know you!

Min-a.

It's you.

You're okay?

Yeah.

Do you like stickers?

[chuckles softly] Yeah.

Let's do it.

[music fades]

His intracranial pressure was high from the injury he sustained in the explosion.

They'll have to wait until he wakes up.

He's not in any condition to move, and it might take time for him to fully recover.

[somber music playing]

From now on,

we'll do things on our own.

I've thought about ways we might rescue your mother.

[tense music playing]

And how we can stop Im Baek-jeong from fleeing Korea.

My uncle's the director of the National Intelligence Service.

He's willing to help.

Gun-woo, this won't be easy.

Could you fight Im Baek-jeong again?

It can draw him out of hiding.

But if he knows he's wanted, would he show up?

He won't care if he gets caught.

And if the cops arrive, he'll threaten to hurt Ms. Yoon.

But he won't.

I'll offer 100 billion won.

Im Baek-jeong will do this.

Yes. I'll do what it takes.

[chuckles softly]

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

[music fades]

- [Min-a giggles] - [Woo-jeong] It's your bedtime.

[tense music playing]

[Woo-jeong] This one's yours. [laughs]

Gun-woo, someone's here.

He's outside.

[Min-a giggles]

[sighs]

[Gun-woo cries]

I've missed you guys.

[sobs]

I lost the courage to show up here.

Du-yeong.

I'm sorry.

- [Woo-jin] Du-yeong! - [cries]

[cries] Du-yeong.

[all cry]

Why are you crying like that?

[crying continues]

[Woo-jin] Du-yeong.

[music fades]

He's a big guy with a lot of scars.

You can see them over his face.

[somber music playing]

Then,

Kang In-beom showed up.

He's the one who kept hitting me again.

So Ms. Yoon came out of her room.

[cries]

She told him to quit hitting me.

[sniffs] And Ms. Yoon…

said she'd go instead.

I…

was supposed to protect her.

It was my duty.

[sniffs] I hate myself. I do.

[sniffs]

[Du-yeong] I also

can't ever forgive myself…

for what I've done.

I'll never forgive myself.

It's all my fault.

Yang-jung and Mr. Choi died. I caused that.

[cries]

But you have a chance. There's still time to save her.

So keep being strong.

I'll help you.

We can do it.

We'll rescue her.

[music fades]

Yes.

Guys, look at this.

BLOODHOUNDS: SEOUL 200 MILLION WON IF YOU SAVE MY COLLEAGUES

[sniffs]

What is this?

[somber music playing]

For the last four years…

to make ends meet,

I did things I'm not proud of.

I committed murder.

I killed good people,

and bad ones, many, for hire.

I…

became…

a bloodhound.

This chat is how contract killers find jobs.

It's all anonymous and it's run by a host, but I've never met him.

The host posts the job listing

and someone accepts it.

We get paid by Bitcoin.

The other day, the host offered something different.

He said he'll pay whoever rescues his coworkers, the ones who were arrested.

[inhales sharply] Is that Im Baek-jeong?

Du-yeong,

could you talk to the police officer we worked with who's downstairs?

A policeman?

[music stops]

We can talk and figure this out together.

Du-yeong,

he's been helping us.

[exhales]

Do you know when the bloodhounds chat first started by any chance?

I don't know for sure.

I, uh…

I joined four years ago.

A man who pretended to be a veterinarian, Moon Dong-jo, is someone we arrested.

He's been involved in many crimes, including drug manufacturing.

Have you heard of him?

Yes. I've heard his name often.

The host said, if you get hurt, to go to him.

That's the vet you go to see to treat you.

Where is he now?

Was he arrested?

He was released once his arrest was denied.

He might be at his house.

If you can say where his home is,

I'll go see him very covertly.

Woo-jeong,

trust him, he's with us.

Du-yeong, we'll join you.

- Gun-woo. - Yes?

The blood won't show up on my hands.

- Even still. - Don't worry.

I need to do this for you.

[suspenseful music playing]

But, Du-yeong, he could have others there.

[music intensifies]

It's okay.

[snores]

- [loud crack] - [Dong-jo groans]

- [music fades] - [water running]

[Du-yeong exhales]

[tense music playing]

I hate people that open their mouths and say nothing.

It'd be better if they don't bother at all.

So when you're ready to tell me everything,

nod your head.

If you start talking, then stop…

I'll cut off your tongue.

[laughs]

[gasps]

- [slicing] - [muffled moaning]

[muffled shrieking]

[whimpering]

[muffled pleading]

[muffled screaming]

[muffle yelping]

[tense music playing]

[Baek-jeong exhales]

What is it?

National Intelligence. They're all over here.

Oh, this is fucked.

What are we gonna do now?

President Im, we might not--

- [wheezes] - You shut your fucking mouth.

You said you would do it. Huh?

You fucking with me? You gonna keep screwing around?

- [Baek-jeong exhales] - You have to… get out of here now.

[exhales]

Just listen.

One more mistake you make…

and I'll kill your mom and dad, all right?

Understand?

- [choked] Yes. - [Baek-jeong exhales]

[electronic voice] The phone is turned off. Your call has been forwarded.

[music fades]

The phone is turned off. Your call has been forwarded.

- You gave me the right numbers? - [Gun-woo] I did.

They're from the phones that Lee Man-bae used as burners.

Du-yeong got them from Moon Dong-jo.

- [Woo-jin] Min-beom. - Hmm?

Could I…

join and fight alongside Gun-woo?

If you suggest a two-on-two match,

In-beom may also step up to fight and go into the ring.

Then,

while Gun-woo and I are fighting…

you could get his mother.

[gentle music playing]

Please make this work

to rescue his mom.

I will.

Of course.

[Woo-jin] Thank you.

[breathes deeply]

[music fades]

[outbound call ringing]

[cell phone buzzing]

[cell phone buzzes]

[sighs]

[Min-beom] Lee Man-bae.

Who is this?

It's Hong Min-beom.

Put Im Baek-jeong on the phone.

Why would I bother?

Your mom's in a nursing home in Chuncheon, right, Lee Dong-hyeon?

Don't think I won't hurt her.

[tense music playing]

President Im. Hong Min-beom's on the phone.

- Did you call that guy? - No. I wouldn't.

Speak.

Let's have another matchup round.

Gun-woo and Woo-jin against

you and Kang In-beom.

Why would I?

We'll bet 100 billion won each. The winner will take it all.

[chuckles]

[whimpers] Let go of me!

[So-yeon screaming]

Give me the phone. Give me that shit!

[So-yeon] Let go!

[So-yeon breathes shakily]

100 billion won is gonna be exchanged into Bitcoin and sent to me now,

or I'll cut off this lady's face and send it over by courier.

You stupid fuck. You can't push me around.

- You think I'm weak or something? Huh? - [So-yeon gasps]

Do you know why you're stuck in Korea?

The National Intelligence Service agents are at the airport.

My uncle's the director of the National Intelligence Service.

So, what, you want a fucking cookie? Wire the funds.

[So-yeon gasps]

Or her face is gonna get fucked up.

Kill her!

Give me a reason to kill you.

You'll regret that.

Try me and see what'll happen, bastard.

[disconnection bleep]

[So-yeon whimpers]

[gasping]

Yeah. They're stupid enough to think I won't kill you.

President Im, I'll fix this for you.

You little shit.

It's the National Intelligence Service. We could get stuck in Korea forever.

If we stay, it'll only take a while until we're caught by the police.

So, what are you gonna do?

I…

I'll get this figured out.

I'll also look into going to Thailand.

I need only a few more days.

And I'll make sure this match goes ahead,

and you won't put down any money.

[tense music swells]

[Baek-jeong sighs]

Ah, shit.

You have ten days.

Get this sorted out in ten days.

Or I'll be the one to kill you.

Yes, I understand.

[scissors clatter]

[music fades]

[Woo-jin] Min-beom,

what if they do something to Ms. Yoon?

What do we do then?

Let's wait a little longer.

[exhales]

[cell phone buzzing]

[Man-bae] President Hong Min-beom, please excuse me for this,

but whether you meant to or not,

if you get Im Baek-jeong worked up like that,

he'll do serious damage.

He's a loose cannon.

[tense music playing]

Now, here's what I can do for you, and I hope you'll accept it.

Think it through.

We won't put any money down.

Instead, Kim Gun-woo's mom will be escorted near the venue.

If we lose, we'll release her.

But if we win,

we'll take the entire pot,

and leave on the private jet you have waiting for us you've prepped.

Once we've safely arrived at our destination, we'll release her.

This is the best I can do,

and a promise I'll make with my life, so trust me.

If there are any mix-ups,

even by chance,

and anything happens that puts us in jeopardy,

say, others get involved…

You know I've got ears inside the police, right?

If I hear anything slightly off, Kim Gun-woo won't see his mom again.

She'll never be part of his life again.

You understand?

I trust that you do.

So I'll contact you two hours before the start of the match,

which will be in two days.

Send us your wager in Bitcoin.

I'm turning off this phone so it can't be tracked.

- Did you understand all that? - [Min-beom] Yes.

I'll be back in touch.

Until the match, Ms. Yoon will stay secure.

I'll outline a course of action.

I can gather some men we can trust.

Woo-jin and I will come back much stronger.

I also got us a private plane to Thailand.

Fight Kim Gun-woo and Hong Woo-jin

in a two-on-two match in ten days.

I'll clash with Kim Gun-woo.

[In-beom exhales]

Kim Gun-woo

is mine to kill.

[somber music playing]

[Woo-jin] Oh, it's right here.

GUNSAN GYM

- [coach] Jab, then cross. Again. - [man] Coach, someone's here to see you.

[Gun-woo and Woo-jin] Hello, sir.

- Do your drills over there. - [man] Yes.

I guess you're Mr. Hong's son?

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Gun-woo.

But you're the one who fought Baek-jeong without gloves.

Yes.

[sighs]

I'm Heo Cheong-ho.

So, why have you come here?

We're fighting Im Baek-jeong.

Could you train us for the match?

We'd appreciate it if you could help us.

Are you looking for revenge?

Im Baek-jeong is the one who kidnapped my mother.

[sighs] Hmm.

[inhales]

I don't know if I can be of any help,

but I'll train you.

I'll teach you what I know.

- Thanks very much. - Thanks very much.

Baek-jeong is quick.

He has a fast right hand and a heavy left hand.

When he's in a southpaw stance, watch for his jab. Got it?

He's similar to Thomas Hearns, the Motor City Cobra.

Thomas Hearns?

No idea.

Chopping style. Well, uh…

Uh, never mind.

[suspenseful music playing]

Watch this. Call it a flicker jab.

You can't tell if it's gonna land on your body or on your face.

It's surprising because it comes in deep, quickly.

This jab requires the fighter to have long arms.

The thing to know is that his punches aren't that strong,

so if you're tough, take his punches and get in close.

But also that's Baek-jeong's trap, since he knows his strength.

If you try to get in too close while taking his jab,

he might step back and set up a quick hook like this.

[sighs] Mm.

[Cheong-ho] The real reason why Baek-jeong's dangerous

is he knows good fighters use speed, power, and their mind.

He reads his opponent's mind very fast and downloads the info.

Uh, how is it possible to learn that?

Baek-jeong's home life wasn't good.

In middle school, he ran away and stayed on the streets.

[somber music playing]

His father was a violent drunk.

His father got so drunk

he beat his mother until she died.

He had to read people in order to survive and live such a rough life.

Now, come at me.

- Okay. - I'll teach you how to block his punches.

Throw some jabs.

How's this? Huh?

- I can't use my lead hand. - [Cheong-ho] Right.

If this happens,

Baek-jeong can't use his right hand and will throw a straight left instead.

- Got it? - [Gun-woo] Mm.

Now, try coming at me again. Yeah. Harder. Go.

Not that way. Stop dodging by turning it over fast.

Think what can be done here.

A counter.

That's it. A counter.

- Always the way to turn things around. - A counter.

Now, come at me.

More. Again.

[exhales]

Good, yeah.

This is southpaw Baek-jeong's weapon,

and yours to keep and fight him with.

[tense electronic music playing]

Baek-jeong's professional record is 18 fights, 17 wins.

Out of those 17 wins, 15 were KOs.

Thirteen were when he was in the orthodox stance.

He likes his left foot forward.

Oh!

Watch out.

This move is the one to anticipate the most.

Especially when Baek-jeong's firmly like this.

If he gets you on this side, it's over.

How do I block when he comes at me so fast?

Step faster. Boxing is about where your feet are.

You just plant your feet on the ground firmly,

then push up with all the power you've got,

and then bam!

Big guys are slower. That's why you have to fight with your quick steps.

If he turns, you turn with him.

Like this. Yeah, that's it. Then he won't get in.

You got it.

[music fades]

I have very different ideas from the director,

and I'm not sure who I can trust in the department.

No one knows when Gang-yong will wake up.

This isn't a job to be done alone, Myeong-hwan.

Woo-jeong, the Green Pine Club's perfect for this kind of thing, so don't worry.

I'll notify them. They'll get themselves ready.

[tense music playing]

We'll gather together and follow your lead.

Thanks so much.

[cell phone buzzes]

BLOODHOUNDS: SEOUL

GYEONGGI-DO 20 GUARDS IN 2 DAYS

10 MIL UPFRONT, 15 MIL AFTER

I'M IN

When I searched the address that Lee Man-bae gave Du-yeong,

this is what came up.

Originally, they were going to be universities, but construction was halted.

Inside the building could easily be over 100 rooms.

That might be why they've chosen this place for the match.

It's a good place to hide Ms. Yoon.

They can have the match in one of the three buildings,

while also hiding Ms. Yoon.

All three buildings are located on a hill so they can see everything.

And so that means our chances of finding Ms. Yoon before is very low.

It'll be extremely dangerous to try rescuing her from the outside.

That's where I'll go inside.

Once Gun-woo and Woo-jin's match begins,

I'll look for Ms. Yoon.

Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to be alone?

If I'm alone, it's the safest way to rescue her.

That's why I need to do this by myself.

Those men won't be concerned about me.

Most importantly,

her safety is the priority.

[chuckles softly]

Are the Bitcoins set up, President Hong?

Yes.

Tae-yeong, why don't you come along with us?

The Green Pine Tree Club members will all be waiting near the buildings.

- Once she's rescued, we'll go in. - Yeah, sounds good.

I'll be there too.

I have to enter the password for the transfer of the Bitcoin.

Okay, everyone.

Let's be strong.

Fighting for her.

One, two, three…

[all] Let's do it!

Give me the one. One. One. One. One.

Go faster. Go. Go faster.

- Go faster! - [Gun-woo yells]

[grunts]

[In-beom grunts]

[yells]

[snarls]

- [grunts] - Another!

- [grunts] - Another!

- [grunts] - One more. You can do it!

[strains]

Yes! Go!

[Gun-woo pants]

You all right?

Yeah.

[both grunting]

[both grunt]

- Sixty-nine! - [grunts]

- [strains] - Seventy! Thirty more. Be faster!

- [grunts] - Seventy-one!

- [grunts] - [Woo-jin] Seventy-two!

[strains]

[yells]

[strains]

Use your core. Use your core strength!

[Gun-woo grunts]

- [Woo-jin] Use your core! Your core! - [Gun-woo strains]

- [Woo-jin] Yes! - [strains]

All right, go. Let's go!

That's good! Keep doing it. Okay!

- You good? - [Woo-jin] Yeah.

[music fades]

I've been thinking about this since last night.

Would Im Baek-jeong

have thought I would be fighting him?

Would he ever imagine that?

- Uh-uh. I would never imagine that. - [eerie music playing]

- That's right. - Hmm.

He's probably preparing to maul you

and will get thrown off if I get in the ring.

[Gun-woo] Mm-hmm.

If I have to take 100 punches from that bastard,

I won't let it end until one of his eyes is cooked.

He'll lose his sense of distance, and then I'll get the advantage.

Are you gonna be okay, Woo-jin?

This is what I've got to do.

And what should we do with Kang In-beom?

[sighs] That's a big concern.

Yes, you might have to fight them both.

[sighs]

[somber music playing]

Woo-jin.

In the IKFC, they wrap metal things on their knuckles before the fight.

That's a weapon, isn't it?

I didn't use them in the fight the last time.

I thought if I did,

no one would consider me a champion.

But now,

I'm gonna wear them this time.

I was wrong before.

I believed I could protect people

with a boxer's heart, but I can't.

Mr. Moon said so the other day.

The only way to grab a beast

is to become a scarier beast without mercy.

Which means my heart is as tough as steel.

My fists will become a knife

once my heart is as tough as steel.

It's how I can stand and shield my loved ones.

I need to make my heart as tough as steel.

Ack.

Ack!

Anyone who leaves their spot during the match will be considered a traitor.

Please send me a text message or kill them yourself.

[Du-yeong gasping] Ms. Yoon isn't here in the building.

She's got to be in the one next to it.

On the top floor is a room with windows covered. Go there.

[Woo-jeong] Well done. Good work.

I'll head over there now.

[straining] Go, please,

and save her.

I'm depending on you.

Yes.

Hi, Myeong-hwan. Gun-woo's mom might be on the third floor of the next building.

Okay. Got it. Be careful.

- Drop the gun, asshole! - Drop the knife.

I'm gonna kill her. I said drop the gun!

Final warning. Got it?

Drop the knife.

[Man-bae] I'm giving you my final warning.

- [gun clicks] - I'm really gonna kill her.

You hear? Drop the gun now.

Drop the fucking gun!

I will slash this lady if you don't! Drop the gun!

[Woo-jin] You're okay.

I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

It took me so long.

- I'll do better. - It's okay. It's all right.

It's okay.

No, Mom! [yells]

[breathes heavily]

- [Gun-woo exhales] - You okay?

[Gun-woo sighs]

[sighs]

Do you need some water?

Woo-jin,

I'm hungry after that nightmare.

Let's go. I'll make ramyeon for you.

Deal.

[footsteps approach]

[gasps]

Oh.

[Woo-jin] Oh!

- Let's eat. - [Gun-woo] Yes.

[gentle music playing]

[sighs]

- Woo-jin. - Hmm?

Let's find another house.

I still feel anxious. Like Im Baek-jeong's planning to return.

Let's go then.

And also,

we'll train for more battles to come.

We'll be ready for the next one.

What battles?

We'll train to fight the bloodhounds.

[quiet suspenseful music playing]

Then next time, I promise I won't back down at all.

I'll also get stronger.

We will never lose.

- Ack. - Ack.

[Baek-jeong exhales]

This is our first meeting, so we'll get to the point.

The person who is your contact that helped you with the IKFC in Bangkok,

tell me his name.

I can kill you right now.

Ten, nine,

eight,

seven,

six,

five,

four,

three--

All right.

[sighs]

Name.

Paichit Chaichana.

I've heard on the street

that bastard's bringing in one ton of meth into Korea this fall.

It's worth about 300 billion won.

Yeah, so?

You scratch my back

and I'll scratch yours.

We're all someone else's bloodhounds.

Don't be upset about that.

Will you be a bloodhound?

- [gun clicks] - Huh.

[grunts] Hmm.

[chuckles softly]

Ae-seo.

[suspenseful music playing]

I'll make it look nice.
