We didn't start again just to

catch Jin Hyeon Pil.

This is our last chance.

What's the problem?

I have a difficult favor to ask.

When was it ever easy?

Who is it this time?

I plan to raise someone from

the dead and then arrest him.

Jin Hyeon Pil?

Yes.

I will give you 60.

Explain it to me.

So he can swallow $3 billion

from the Philippine government,

he has to put in $3 billion of

his own.

He has $2 billion abroad,

but there's still $1 billion in

this country.

You want me to turn $1 billion

of something into cash.

No.

I intend to double it.

That's the only way my plan

will work.

In a nutshell, if you're willing

to lend me $3 billion,

all the money for the scam

victims will be immediately

recovered.

$3 billion?

This is my money-washing machine.

India.

Hong Kong.

Japan.

I currently make use of 3

regions for money laundering.

What Lawyer Hwang wants

is the simplest course.

Number 1.

Create a joint account at

Singapore Paper Company.

Number 2.

Transfer $2 billion in bonds

over to me.

Number 3.

From inside the money-washing

machine, $2 billion in funds is

shipped to Singapore.

After that, it's done.

Money washing completed.

It's so simple?

Simple?

Did you think the money was

washed piece by piece?

That the time needed would

match the size.

The details are important to

dictate compliance with

international law.

That's right.

But the person with the key

who can do this

is only me.

Then...

it's just a simple transaction.

-=Eco-Manila Project=-

This will eventually go bankrupt.

The eco-city is fake.

=Don't you just want to get

$3 billion from the Philippine

government?=

- What's with this guy?

- Hush!

=Since you're doing this, why

not twice as much?=

Are you satisfied with just

$3 billion?

Why the sudden turn-around?

This isn't something I can

decide on my own.

=I'm not asking you, Lawyer

Hwang.=

Client?

Would you like to double the

size of this project?

Wow. I was using him to pour

water, but instead he poured

oil on the fire.

How do we double this?

You have a map of Manila, right?

Do you see a big lake, the size

of a sea?

What does it bring to mind?

Our specialty.

Cutting a canal.

Anyway, this project will

naturally go bankrupt.

Is there anything you can't do?

Build a theme park around

the canal.

Dig a little deeper.

=Even the shipping tolls will

be lumped together.=

=That would be enough, right?=

In that case,

what about the other $3 billion?

In South Korea, someone can

hand over $3 billion.

Who do you think?

Mrs. Shin.

Hyeong is really great.

He is great.

I used to think he was a great

pain in the ass.

But lately, he's been growing

on me.

It seems we all feel the same.

Have you looked it over?

What do the words and pictures

matter?

You can know the answer just

by looking at the numbers.

What are you doing, kid?

Oh...

I'm a kid called Pak Jang Gun.

I'm a pretty good kid who

wants to catch a bastard named

Jin Hyeon Pil.

This. Is it your work?

Oh, that dish was made by

Kim Jae Myeong.

As for me, I helped with tasting

it and setting the table.

We're something like yin and yang.

If not done properly, half of

this property may be gone.

This can't be exchanged for lives.

Well,

compared to my life,

the life of a retiree like you is

more valuable, right?

Daft kid.

Why does that sound to my

ears like a threat?

You can hear it any way

you wish.

What is it?

What else? It's $3 billion.

Wow, how is it so easy?

Ma'am!

Is it okay for you to hand this

money over so casually?

Don't you need a deposit

or something?

We also have business ethics.

Jin Hyeon Pil, that bastard, has

tried to swallow too much.

I set up the legal system, so

of course I must help protect it.

You alone are great one.

You must like bearing the

burdens of the whole world.

You're looking much better.

Imagine children,

playing on the grass.

Not playing in the trash.

Let's make a canal.

Clean water, you know?

Good environment for children.

You will see huge smiles on

their faces.

I hope that one thing.

Mr. Choe.

You are amazing.

No, I'm not.

Mr. Senator.

Let's go together.

Yes.

Let the children live in a clean

area, clean water.

Why can't I get it out?

Ah, an old school telecom scam.

Yes, I'm ready to take your bait.

=You didn't change your

number.=

=Are you listening?=

=Are you scared?=

Shouldn't I be scared if a dead

person is calling me?

Where are you?

Hell?

I managed to escape Korea,

so I must be in Heaven.

Let's meet.

Why should I?

The "why" can wait until we

meet again.

Think about it.

=I heard you already convinced

Mrs. Shin.=

=Begin the money laundering.=

No.

The machine won't run before

meeting directly with clients.

=Hey. You must know that

party is in Manila.=

It doesn't matter to me.

Give your client a call.

Tell him we must meet

personally before the money

transfer.

This meet... Hello?

Hello?

This is a problem.

This money is good, but it

smells bad. It smells.

Take these two away.

Go and ask about a small boat.

The fastest kind.

Hey, come in!

Hurry!

-= Find something yet???=-

-- Is it unusual? Aren't you

curious?=-

Phone call!

=Send Peter over.=

I can't go there.

The documents are perfect. We

just need to transfer funds.

Is this necessary?

=You can't meet.=

=It's too risky.=

Quiet. Quiet.

Just send him here.

Are they playing hide and seek?

He says go and you go?

Mrs. Shin and the Philippine

government were bad enough.

You look for problems like this?

I can't provide assistance.

If there are any problems,

you'll have to settle it locally.

Don't worry.

I will personally catch him

and bring him back.

I'm not worried about you, Kid.

I only worry about myself.

Is he going?

Because of all the variables,

we need someone skilled.

He has to come with us.

-=Manila Cathedral 12:00=-

We can't predict what might

happen tomorrow.

If there are any problems, ask

for help through the local Police Chief.

=Command is transferred to

Officer Shin Gemma.=

Once the funds arrive, the

Eco-Manila account will be frozen.

If there's any danger, Pak Jang

Gun leaves immediately.

Remember that.

I won't forget since my life is

very important.

Don't worry.

Fine.

Then let's check their work again.

=Okay.=

What is it?

Just...

thinking about this and that.

As you know,

Chairman Jin is a sly fox.

Aren't you afraid?

If anything happens,

use your head.

If you came, you shouldn't

be afraid.

You know where Manila

Cathedral is, right?

Let's go. Go, go.

=The target has appeared.=

=Should we follow?=

No.

Let him go.

This concept isn't too bad.

You're looking refreshed.

It's good to see you again.

Before things get mushy,

let's get to the point.

I've been promoting a project

and it's over tomorrow.

I've been promoting a project

and it's over tomorrow.

Chairman Jin's $3 billion and

and another $3 billion come

together.

We can swallow it.

$3 billion? $3 billion?
