within my power.

I'm sorry sir, please.

Due to newly excavated relic

at Blue City construction site,

development will be postponed.

Checkmate.

Do you see those lights?

Aren't those squid boats?

Right.

Squid come swimming

toward those lights.

I guess all living things are

attracted to shiny things.

- Agree?

- Yes.

Funny thing is,

people call those

'Lights of Night Sea'.

But up close,

it's a chaotic slaughterhouse.

Our business is the same.

If you want to succeed,

your eyes have to lit up like that.

Boss...

could I ask you something?

Why did you take me in?

I was at a point of no return.

Lee Hwan.

It's a great name.

A name that reeks of money.

3 years later

Hwangje Finance

- Good morning, sir.

- Good morning.

Boss, how do you expect me

to walk away now?

Your match rigging article

will be released.

We finally got it legalized,

so imagine the backlash.

It won't be pretty.

You know full well

how hard I worked on it.

By yourself?

Anyway, bring me

the complete list of games you fixed.

Do you still go to Temptation?

A dirty mop is for cleaning,

not to be used as a blanket.

Remember that.

Shouldn't you be on

a debt collection run somewhere?

Here to boost my business?

What a f***ing day...

Look at this b*tch!

Your promotion isn't

your f***ing high horse.

Did I beg for it?

He went too far this time.

Isn't it time to cut him loose?

Tae-m u .

We're going on 15 years, right?

Why do you think I've kept you?

Sir?

I don't know...

Some unique qualities?

You were always by my side.

I won't turn my back on

members of my family first.

I'll give Hwan a warning,

take care of your own boys.

There's another pressing matter.

Cutter will be out soon.

Busan Penitentiary

Only the hungry

grabs the fishing pole.

Are you using Hwan

as your bait?

Speak of the devil.

I don't own anything.

Money has no master.

Money only lets out a scent.

That scent is

the sweetest in the world.

But once you taste it,

it turns into poison,

and rot you from inside.

I know you desire to be rich.

Then only chase the scent.

Are you sure?

Boss, Hwan is with the old man.

Could he be dipping into

a different pocket,

because you pulled him out?

He may feel cornered,

there's nothing he won't do.

Welcome.

The news of Marina sector seeking

private capital will be out soon.

Won't it look great

with a few yachts,

and a resort over there?

Sounds very expensive.

Business is done not with money,

but with people.

Indeed, the chairman's influence

casts a wide net.

Congratulations, sir.

No need for that.

I'm still just a front.

We must free ourselves from

our sponsors and stand tall.

A9 Feed?

Don't lose sleep

over the website.

Can't live forever

on fringes of the law.

I know you worked so hard

to relocate the servers.

It's fine,

don't fret it sir.

If this takes off,

I'm leaving the loan business behind.

From here on,

these are our future.

Very nice.

I need a good sponsor

and stand tall too.

Where were you

in the afternoon?

Kyung-su was looking for you.

I had things to take care of.

Yeah?

You can't do everything

you desire to do,

and become someone you desire.

We all have pre-destined paths.

If you know your place in life,

everything'd be easy.

I guess it's not always so obvious.

I hope you still prefer

old man's cock.

Why are you so late?

Did you have a VIP

or something?

Did Sang-ha tell you?

All I got is this body...

If they're paying,

what can I not do?

Loan without any interest...

Nothing I can't do.

Madame Cha's debt...

is significant.

I'll take care of it.

So you'll blanket the mop?

Transfer Cha's debt to Hwan.

Also, spread his

responsibilities to others.

Dipshit, if you took out a loan,

have the decency to pay back!

I'll pay back!

Look at this punk ass,

think you're all that?

Afternoon.

Don't you know this is my turn?

Jong-ho sent us...

Get the f*** out of my face.

Do you really want me dead?

Your interest won't die with you.

Hwan!

I really hope that I won't see

your blood on my hands.

This 250,000 ha sector includes...

So how much?

Of the $201.5 million,

$150 million will be privatized.

Who are they negotiating with?

HY and Jeil,

but HY's the front runner.

Isn't chairman Kang

in charge of Jeil Marina?

That's correct, sir.

Give him a call.

Right away.

Chairman Kang,

yeah, it's me.

I hear you're working on

something fun.

What?

It's no fun?

Should I spice things up?

Is it okay to be here

during the day?

Who cares.

I polished

a piece of sh*t into gold,

but someone else'll reap the benefits,

and I'm reduced to

collecting debts from the feeble.

But that's how you got to

where you are now.

This'll make you feel better.

There was only sky

and sea here.

Why's it so messy now?

Even a mountain changes

in a decade.

Ocean will surely too.

This is rather awkward.

You have to leave, sir.

Prepare two matching coffins.

Lead him out of here!

What's an abandoned rook

doing on the chessboard?!

Take care of it!

Let go!

Perhaps you took

your job too personally.

- What are you talking about?

- Don't play dumb.

I was grooming Hwan just fine.

I will not allow him to falter

because of you.

He's not your f***ing mutt!

Cha Yun-su...

Madame Cha, I mean.

Can you handle it?

Take the f***ing knife!

Did that whore take

your f***ing balls?

Stand down, boy.

You up for this?

Motherf***er!

It's all your own undoing.

Don't you know

what we're here to do?

How could I not?

Kill 'em all!

You f***er...

You f***er...

Try to stay awake.

Boss, the cleaning is done.

But Cutter isn't

out of the picture.

Yes, sir.

You Okay?

The call cannot be connected...

Next up, Han Young-su,

a former Red Whales,

has committed suicide.

His bereaved family stated that

he took his own life,

when he was unable to

control his mounting debt.

CEO Jung Sang-ha

Where is the end of this road?

How will I look

when I finally reach it?

Here for Madame Cha?

Do you know where she is?

She's famous for

ripping men off.

She probably got to

several others too.

Tonight...

could be the end for Jong-ho.

Did you...

Plan it?

Is that what you think too?

Don't f*** around,

say it straight!

I saw you...

stab him.

Is that what you want

to believe?

Say it again.

Go on, slice me.

Slice me open.

Goddamn f***!

Getting stabbed is on par

for our line of work.

But I won't tolerate my own

turning his back on me.

Stop yapping and go home.

We got work cut out for us.

Off you go.

Sang-ha, my boy-

Hwan! Boss is in trouble!

I can't reach Tee-mu.

Remember where we first met?

Looks like Sang-ha raised

a fine minion.

You're Cutter?

So disrespectful...

Son, kids who don't respect elders

don't live long.

Then come earn my respect.

You should've stayed down.

What will you do?

If I go to hell,

I'll bribe Lucifer

and go to heaven.

Life's full of ironies.

Isn't it funny?

Sang-ha burned you,

but you unknowingly worship him.
