Who cares!

F***.

Come here and listen to me.

Come here now!

What!

I'm not listening to you!

F***!

Look what it got me!

Fine.

We'll go to Seoul.

Screw you, bastard!

Sh*t.

Didn't your mother mention me?

Look.

I have shares in the arcade.

So, I looked into things.

Things are pretty bad.

Your mother paid bribes

to cops and prosecutors.

But her ledger went missing.

- So?

- Well...

What I'm saying is...

the police won't look for

the culprit.

But then that puts me

in a rough spot.

It's an lOU.

Your mother borrowed

big money from me.

What do you want from me?

The culprit has to be caught.

Then, you'll get

the insurance settlement.

Then, you can pay me back.

- I'll see you in court later.

- Wait!

Sit down, please.

No need to get excited.

We can work it out

between us.

Fine.

I'll look into it

and see you later.

Aren't you mad?

Don't you want to catch

who did this to your parents?

How can a son not want to?

Did I push him too hard?

You think?

Mr. LlM Hyun-tae?

Special investigations

from Life lnsurance Company.

LIFE INSURANCE CO.

SHIN YI-SU

Why are you here?

Just stopped by.

Do you have time to chat?

I'm listening.

I'll say it straight out.

We're postponing

the insurance payment.

From our standpoint...

we need the police reports...

to see if the payment

should be made or not.

But there's no progress

in the investigation.

And personally,

I don't think it was an accident.

That's all you came to say?

Insurance settlement worth...

$20 million.

I thought, who'd benefit

the most from this case.

Obviously you came to mind.

Someone died.

My mom died!

Why's everyone

just talking about money?

Isn't there anything else

to talk about besides money?

Just go.

HYUN-TAE

Hi, Hyun-tae.

That's enough.

You've been through a lot.

Still, we should do this.

Min-su, bow to your parents.

A few years back...

Someone snuck in and took Yuri

while Mi-lan wasn't watching.

I asked around.

A neighbor said she saw

someone take Yuri off in a car.

From her description,

I realized it was Mom.

So, Mi-lan and I went

to her house.

Mom was blankly watching

Yuri on a table.

Yuri was crying like hell.

So, I yelled

'What are you doing'!

But she said she didn't know.

Dad fell ill

a few days before that.

She must've been scared.

With Yuri gone, she thought

I'd leave Mi-lan and come home.

In-chul.

Min-su.

Yeah?

I gotta catch the culprits.

What are you saying?

She's my mom.

She didn't know to live better,

but she's my mom.

No one's trying to find

her killer.

When my mom died!

Hyun-tae...

Calm down, man.

What can you do, pal?

I'll catch the bastards.

And make sure they pay.

It's only right.

Min-su? In-chul?

Help me, pals.

PAYMENT POSTPONED

FOR LIM HYUN-TAE

- F***.

- Chief?

What?

Someone's here for you.

Confess?

If you can't...

I'll say I did it alone.

In-chul...

Think about what will happen

if you confess.

Min-su.

If we confess now...

Hyun-tae will find out

everything!

Are you okay with that?

Huh?

It's killing me, too.

But think about it.

If we go weak now...

it won't be just you and me.

We'll drag Hyun-tae

down to hell, too!

What about Mi-lan and Yuri?

He wants to catch the culprits,

not find out we did it!

Min-su...

Let's not go weak.

Okay?

Who's that bastard?

Let's go eat.

Sh*t!

Go home for now.

Why?

Just go! Hurry!

I'll call you.

Min-su!

Got it?

Sh*t.

Damn old jerk.

What are you doing?

You're behind

Victory Arcade, aren't you?

Why are your cases

always so suspicious?

What the f***!

What are you trying to say?

Just frustrated that's all.

I think it's an inside job.

If you're gonna talk nonsense,

I'm leaving.

One of the surveillance cams

was restored.

Wonder what's on it.

But it's useless sh*t

cuz cops won't investigate.

Know why?

I don't care!

Get out of the way.

Move!

Get out!

Her ledger is missing.

The record of all her bribes

to the cops!

I wonder who has it.

Probably the culprit.

The weirdest thing was...

the door was open.

How'd they know

to come then?

Everyone knows

we're closed on Sundays.

But payday always changes.

We don't even know.

Notice anyone suspicious

come before then?

Lots of people come and go.

Sorry.

Bro!

Aren't you playing?

- Thanks anyway.

- Sure.

I'm sorry about Mrs. LlM.

She was really nice to me.

Mr. JUNG ln-chul?

Police.

You know Mrs. LlM,

the owner ofVictory Arcade?

She's my friend's mom.

Why?

Can we go in to talk?

What?

Why?

We can talk out here.

Is there something inside?

No!

It's just a normal house.

Open it.

Let's have a look.

Back off!

Are you really cops?

Where's the warrant?

What warrant?

We just wanna go inside

and talk for a sec.

What's with you people?

Just go!

- It won't take long.

- Hey!

- Stay put!

- Let go!

Who's he?

Wasn't the insurance guy

her son?

- Maybe they're brothers.

- You think?

Her son?

He came by sometimes

to the store.

Mrs. LlM called him 'son'.

He came by two days

before the fire.

Wasn't it a few days more?

FOUND THE CULPRI Bring him in.

Go in.

Go on!

Okay!

Oh man.

We made a mistake.

You're not mad, are you?

Hope you understand.

Stop by the station tomorrow.

Sure.

- Call before you come.

- Okay.

Sorry.

Sh*t!

Where'd it go?

Where is it?

CHICKEN SOUP:

The hell!

That b*tch!

Looks like they're your mom's

bonds and jewelry.

Someone called to ask about

exchanging them for cash.

Where?

Hurry over.

Don't be late.

- Ji-hyang isn't here!

- Back off! Bastard!

Hey!

Where's the b*tch?

- Where is she!

- What's it to you?

What?

Who are you?

I'm your f***ing nightmare!

Where the hell is she!

- You find her!

- You f***ing b*tch.

F***!

Hey, Mister.

What?

There's a place to exchange

jewelry for cash.

She asked me for the number,

then left.

How about

the arcade and insurance...

in exchange for this lOU?

I think it's the best thing

for everyone now.

Where are you?

I found the culprit.

Let's go.

Bring your car!

Where?

Hey!

Sh*t!

He's lost it.

He's running around

Iike crazy.

Stay close on his tail.

He's the culprit.

Mi-lan...

No... I...

I gotta go.

I have to go...

Sorry...

No idea what you're saying.

Mi-lan...

Should I learn sign language?

SHE'S CARRYING

A RED BACKPACK:

- There! It's her!

- Huh?

Hyun-tae!

Sh*t!

F***!

Help me!

Stop yelling.

- Quiet or you're dead.

- Okay.

In-chul!

Honey! Wait!

- Shut up!

- Sorry.

Shut up!

Where's the ledger!

Where's the damn ledger!

Here!

It's right here!

Why'd you take this!

- I thought it was important.

- B*tch!

Why isn't he answering!

In-chul!

Just go.

I can go?

Get lost!

So, it's over between us?

F*** you, b*tch!

- Why are you coming from there?

- Huh?

Did you see the girl?

You didn't either?

Damn!

Fine.

Check that way.

I'll go this way.

Hey, wait!

Here.

Drink this.

I heard you went there

before Mom died.

Yeah...

I told you I met her

when I gave you her card.

How'd you know about the girl?
