Look at it properly before I pull your eyes out!

It's the right place!

Boss!

- No one's here. - How could that be?

Buddy, give your boss a call.

- He's not answering. - He's not?

Then who'll pay your $100K debt?

No, it's now $200K.

What? You said $100K!

Idiot, gotta add the travel cost.

Don't be like that, we're compatriots.

Compatriots?

We're compatriots apparently, what should we do?

He hates compatriots more than anything.

You play the compatriot card for your debt?

Those who don't pay back are the worst.

I'll pay you back, please give me a discount...

I'm begging you.

Look at this bitch.

Alright, I'll give you a discount.

How's $10K per limb?

That'd be a discount of $40K, totaling $160K, good?

- It's a steal! - I'm so jealous.

Please don't kill me, I can't die like this.

Listen to this guy!

Why should I kill you?

You can't die without clearing your debt, got that?

Yang-tae.

- Let's give him a good deal. - Right away.

Please, sir...

- Don't kill me... - Hand out!

Bite down hard.

You missed, that's a $5K discount.

Come on, hold him down.

- How could you miss? - You try it then!

Hold still, don't move a muscle.

Do it properly.

Missed again! Are you blind?

THE OUTLAWS

Geumcheon Police

Here, drink one.

- What? - Take it, drink.

Just speak your mind, I'll be the mitigator.

JANG Isu ordered this, right?

Why the hell did you stab a man, asswipe?!

If you don't spill it here, you're a dead man!

You attacked an officer, you wanna take the fall?

Answer me.

Silent treatment, eh?

Here, take this.

- Byung-sik. - Yes?

To the Truth Room.

Sit up straight, sit up.

What are you looking at? I'll crack your skull.

- Byung-sik. - Yes?

Get up, get up.

Let me ask you again. Where were we?

Hey!

Who filed the pool hall report?

The deputy came by earlier...

Asshole, so you sent it without my sign-off?!

I'm sorry, he just took it...

I went easy on you for writing reports quickly.

You wrote so much weird shit!

Why did you mention that I came from a golf course?!

You're the death of me.

I'm sorry.

Pull your chair, make some room.

What? What's the matter?

The geezers are getting nervous because of the gang activities.

I'm already busy as is.

Shouldn't you take care of this? Do I have to get into it too?

Being a captain means shit.

Byung-sik, grab the camera, field trip time.

Okay.

A life full of shit.

- Afternoon, sir. - Where's your boss?

He's not here, I'm serious!

Feeling my boob, eh?

Keep gambling, go on.

He's really not here.

- Who cooked this ramen then? - Let's have a bite.

Dammit! Wasted a trip.

Well now, you were there?

Isu gang boss JANG Isu - I couldn't tell. - It wasn't me.

You didn't do what? I didn't even say anything.

- He was acting on his own! - Look at this bald fuck.

Buddy.

Here.

This is a democratic country.

You're an illegal alien. Come here.

Illegal, my ass. I'm a legal resident.

Come here.

One.

- Two. - I don't believe this.

Closer.

Wait! Please!

I told you not to cause stink, I've fucking had it.

Shit, your twins are busted.

Come with me, we got somewhere to go.

Stop eating.

Get on with it, I'm a busy man! Go on!

You first.

Why me? He started this.

So you stabbed a man for it, start now.

He's got nothing to say.

If your boys keep coming around, I'll fuck them up for good.

These guys are clueless.

- Byung-sik! - Yes, boss?

We're cracking down their shops today.

I'm sorry.

What an idiot.

If you're sorry, kneel and beg, asshole.

- You fucking bitch! - You're my fucking bitch.

- I'm sorry. - Your turn.

With some sincerity.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

- Byung-sik. - Yes, boss?

That Poroid, give me that.

It's called a Polaroid.

Buddy, sit closer, ass-to-ass.

One more.

One, two, three!

So photogenic.

Take one each,

and whenever you're pissed off, look at this and chill.

You're now family, you got that?

Why are you compatriots so desperate to kill each other?

Become BFFs, go to brunch, and get hair done together.

I'm off.

Get out of here.

Useless dicks.

Let's go too.

It's too tight.

I heard you're bringing in girls from China.

No, they come find me.

If you get caught, I'll whip you, be careful.

Pick up the bill.

Yes, what is it?

What?

Your compatriot's here.

BOSS...

Are you his boss?

Who are you?

Debt collector, of course.

Your boy took out a loan and he's 3 months late.

Boss, I borrowed $30K and he wants $200K.

Shut your mouth!

How much?

It's $200K,

but I took his wrist, so it's $190K now.

That's not right.

You're doing God's work, it's hardly enough.

That should do.

Do you know who I am?

I'm just here to collect, why should I know that?

Is he nuts or what?

Who are you?

What?

Son of a bitch!

Speak up, cocksucker!

Cut his arms and legs off.

Okay, what about the debt?

Collect, of course.

Gil-su...

My boy...

Don't kill me, sir, please don't kill me...

Gil-su.

You got a debt to pay.

So, who'll pay his debt now?

- Blue, Blue. - That's not important.

Come on.

Take the cash.

My business is down.

You sure there's no problem?

It's nothing, so don't poke around.

Those damn Chinese are knifing in someone else's turf...

That's why you need to stay out of it!

My throat's dry.

I'm counting on you, let's have just 1 drink.

Hey, I'm still on the clock, I can't drink!

A man must hold his drink, this is nothing.

You idiot! You're late! I was looking for you!

Sir, when did you arrive?

- I was the first one here! - I couldn't reach you!

- Salute! - They made a real mess.

Shit, what's all this?

Welcome.

What happened?

3 Chinese-Koreans, they cut off host's arm.

With an axe, no less.

Jesus Christ...

They're always causing shit when we're on duty.

Gather everyone, all the girls, and staff.

Okay.

There were 3 of them...

I knew something was off about them.

Have fun!

I was at the counter, my girl came out running.

Hey...

- What's up? - What happened?

Those bastards...

- They hit you? - Yeah, take a look.

Let's go.

- Which room? - #105.

Hold still, damm it.

Baby, that's enough!

Girls, go outside.

That's enough, stop.

You had so much fun, let's chat.

Fucking hoe, don't move.

How dare you, fucker!

Chinese bastard!

You thought this was a brothel!

You dirty horse fucking cunts!

Stand the fuck down!

I'll poke your eyes out! Goddamn punk ass!

This guy's crazy.

Don't do it.

Don't do it, cocksucker!

Let's go, I'm bored.

You're wasted.

My apologies, It's a good day for us.

We'll finish this drink, and go on our way.

Chinese freaks, shut your mouth!

Son's of bitches.

Fucking numbnuts.

Ratfucker.

He's all yours

Motherfuckers! I'll kill you all!

Axe!

Slimy bastard!

I've seen a lot of bad drunks,

they were different...

They didn't say where they're from, or where they'll go?

One of the girls said,

they had Chinese accent, she didn't understand much.

But she said they're from Gyeongsang province.

What the hell...

I was just at the hospital, they messed him up.

Bro.

I'll take care of it, look the other way.

Are you a cop? Stay out of this.

But he's like family!

I meant what I said.

I'll call if I need anything.

Okay.

Come here.

Send our boys and look into it.

Right away.

What about the rest?

This is all, we don't carry large amount.

Then go make some money, the debt won't go away.

Don't forget why I kept you alive.

- Got it? - I'll do my best.

Where do you get your girls?

We pay a Chinese agency $10K and they send us girls.

Any problems bringing them in?

They're on invitation visa, so, not really.

Do everything that makes money.

Kill or chop limbs, if there's demand.

Collect protection money.

Isu gang won't let it happen.

Who?

They're from Yanbian, arcade and karaoke's their turf.

Then we'll start from there.

I understand.

That was the lab, their prints aren't in the database.

Probably smuggled in.

Hold on, stop! What's this?

- Isn't that you? - That's you!

Why were you there?

That's totally not me.

Look, the clothes aren't the same.

Bullshit, I recognized you right away.

Of course not.

Look for the suspects, will you?

I found them, but the quality's terrible.

- That's them? - Yes.

Zoom into it.

This is the closest it'll go.

So proud of you.

You're a model cop to all your juniors.

I don't know what you mean.

- Gather around. - What's up?

Grease the boys and find out who they are.

Got it.

Know your limits, or don't get caught.

I'm on the edge lately.

Who is that?

Son of a!

You gotta know something.

How should I know?

Then should I?

You don't know about guys who smuggled in?

Why do you assume it's me? I don't even go to bars.

Watch your goddamn attitude.

You ate one, get the bill.

They're Gyeongsang boys,

if you don't catch them, I'll take you in.

That's batshit insane.

Don't go insane, just catch them.

- Sir, let's move. - How much is it?

- $84 please. - Pay him $84.

- What's fucking $84? - I got some take-out too.

- 80, right? - Yup, 80.

80?

Come on, dude! Pay the kid!

Here, $200. Keep the rest.

Thank you.

See you, get out of my way.

If you take his money, I'll kill you.

Here, this one's cold.

What a scumbag!

Look at their clothes!

What's with the gasoline tanks?

Afternoon, gentlemen.

You're like yellow chicks.

What's that? Give me one.

Did you hear about the bar incident?

- The one with the hand. - Yes, boss.

It's no joke.

- The Venom's dead. - What the shit?

- Well... - Changwon!

They're from Changwon, they took over his gang.

You sure about this? Don't fuck around.

I'm sure, this is a premier tip.

Alright, fine.

Economy's tough lately...

Shut your face.

- Here, $300. - Thank you.

And then?

- And what? - That's all.

I told you everything.

Was there... anything else?

I need detailed intel, asshole.

Get out.

Here, take this back.

- Dong-gyun. - It's locked...

Then go out through this door!

Say it again.

What?

No pictures please! No pictures!

Boss, over here!

- Where? - Move please!

- This is it? - Secure the area!

It's all chopped up.

It was found like this?

Yes, the kids found it while playing ball.

Did you call the forensics?

- Hong-seok! - Yes?

- Forensics! - They're coming.

They're taking pictures, do your damn job!

Yes, sir.

Jesus...

This is bad, it's no ordinary murder.

- Gather around. - Yes, sir.

Dong-gyun.

These assholes are going all-out,

we gotta get all the body parts before anyone else do, okay?

Scour every inch of this area.

- Hong-seok, come here. - Yes, boss.

- As for you, - Yes?

Go around and gather these garbage bags

with patrol officers.

Yes, sir.

Boss, I think it's Venom.

He's really dead.

What are you doing?! This is a crime scene!

I'm sorry!

That truck! Hey!

Stop that garbage truck! Go stop it!

The garbage truck!

What is it?

What's up?!

- Wait! Stop! - Stop the truck!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Police, we need to go through your garbage.

Sir!

- Is this your route? - Yeah.

Sorry about this, it won't take long.

Sure thing.

I'm at the crime scene, the body's dismembered.

- Stinks like hell... - We got a garbage truck.

No, it's not from the truck,

body's not IDed yet, we only got an arm.

I'll call you back!

Found it.

- You got it? - We got it, sir.

Brings the boys.

Sure.

Big money.

Hit me! Big money! Give me a hit!

This machine's fucked! Took all my money!

What the fuck you looking at?!

Where are you?

What's going on?

You cunt, you're a scammer.

Give me my money back before I smash these up.

Play nice and fuck off.

Say what?

Son of a bitch!

- Are you nuts? - Yeah.

I'm nuts, got a problem?

- You're too loud. - Sorry, boss.

Who are you?

Where's your boss?

Who the fuck's this?

You wanna go, is that it?

The boss inside wants you.

Venom?

Aren't you...

up to date on current affairs?

Look at this chump.

Make sure they don't run!

Yes, boss!

Who are you?

Welcome.

Welcome, indeed.
