talk to my lawyer.

Your lawyer?

l met him while fighting against

the police and prosecutors.

Never lost a case.

Attorney PARK?

What? Attorney?

lt's RYU Hae-guk.

Some officer is trying to

take me in illegally.

Please talk to him.

Hey! RYU Hae-guk!

Hold on.

Yes?

Hello?

Hello?

Look...

What do you think

you're doing to Mr. RYU Hae-guk!

l'm ah...PARK Min-uk...

his lawyer.

l see.

Mr. RYU Hae-guk's been

in a violent fight.

So?

l'd like to take him in

for questioning.

Still, you have no right.

l'll say it again.

lt's clear he's been in a fight.

l think he needs to be

questioned on the case.

You're really set on taking him in?

There's ample reason to take him in.

Stop. l'll be right over.

Put Mr. RYU back on.

Yes, Mr. PARK?

Why you little!

l'm coming to see

what kind of sh*t you're in!

l gotta see what you gained

after destroying me!

He's got a lawyer?

His name's PARK Min-uk.

Who?

Attorney PARKMin-uk.

What? PARK Min...

That's strange.

- Officer CHUN.

- Yes.

That lawyer's a prosecutor.

A prosecutor?

The one you met before?

Right.

Then why would he lie

to help out RYU Hae-guk?

Says he'll kill Hae-guk himself.

Doesn't want anyone else

touching his meat.

A prosecutor

impersonating a lawyer?

Should l charge him?

What good is that?

Think about who will be hurting more

after everything's in the open.

Yes, sir.

They'll bring up Seok-man's death.

Not only that,

it'll bring up Mr. RYU, too.

What?

Complicate things.

So they can't see the big picture.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

Are you RYU Hae-guk's lawyer?

l'm a prosecutor

from Chang-sung District.

Long time no see.

Ah, hello.

Unaware of what's going on,

l had to pretend l was a lawyer.

You can go back, sir.

We'll drop the case, too.

l'm glad we see eye to eye.

Mind if Mr. RYU and l

go about our business?

What?

Let's go, Mr. RYU.

Let's talk about life, shall we?

Yes, sir.

Two people in town are dead

and l was involved with both of 'them.

Wait.

l'll map things out.

Let me do the questioning.

What?

l have to draw the big picture.

Let's take things in order.

What a perfect place to cover up

two deaths.

Nice fresh air!

Nice, isn't it?

Not much but the good air

around here.

Welcome, Prosecutor PARK.

l came to investigate

Mr. JEON Seok-man's death.

Here's the suspect, RYU Hae-guk.

Looks like a criminal,

doesn't he?

Then l'll be pleased to help.

Why thank you.

Help from a veteran detective...

Pretty impressive.

lt's all in the past. lt's been a

long time since l quit the force.

l was talking about

your real estate records.

Of course!

They say you get a house

just by brushing shoulders with me.

Your mother lives in an apartment

without an elevator, correct?

Oh, by the way!

Tell her to sell it

before it gets cold.

l heard a crematory is

coming in behind there.

l don't like you.

Same goes for me.

Strange.

Who's that on the left?

KlM Deok-chun.

The Chiefs henchman.

So he's a trustworthy guy?

He knows a lot about the Chief.

- You be the prosecutor.

- What?

Crap.

That's the Chiefs house.

lt's like a feudal lord's castle.

You can look down

and keep watch on everything.

So this tunnel was for

keeping watch on your father?

l think so.

The answer is with the Chief,

the store owner, and KlM Deok-chun.

lt's gotta be the Chief.

- And his right hand?

- KlM Deok-chun?

He obeys no matter what?

He'll do everything the Chief says.

That's right!

l just did as he ordered.

Mr. KlM Deok-chun!

What is it? What do you want?

ls it...

My turn now?

Seok-man, Sung-kyu...

Now...lt's my turn?

lt'll come without warning, right?

No one will kill you.

l'm a prosecutor.

As long as l'm here,

no one can kill anyone.

What do you have to do with

their deaths? Why's it your turn?

You saying you killed them?

l don't know anything

but what l was told.

l didn't do anything!

l just took things back and forth

like he said!

l beat 'em like l was told!

And killed...

You just did what you were told.

lt's not like you wanted to do it.

Yes, that's right.

l did it cuz l was told.

Buy land for the governor.

Send two apple boxes to Senator PARK.

They said to thank the Chief.

So what did the Chief say?

Put in money instead of apples.

lt's so heavy.

Secret number 2736.

Take out $30,000 in cash.

l go from Seoul to Busan.

But have to wait outside.

But l'm starving.

Senator SONG likes caviar and

Senator PARK likes Marlboros.

Put the apple box

in Senator HONG's car.

Don't look good to fill it half way.

Get a smaller box!

l gotta find the right box.

The guy's suing us after selling

his land over. Kill him!

You deal with

messy things like that!

The Chiefs busy.

He's gotta meet

the senators and handle things.

l wanna go and eat yummy stuff!

But only Chief gets to go!

Then l grab the bastards' necks!

So...

Chief meets and gives boxes

full of cash to big shots...

while you beat up people

and grab their necks!

Make him sign the accounts.

lf he won't,

get his thumb print.

lf you can't get that,

cut off his finger!

lf he resists,

cut his neck!

lf not, dig up

his ancestors' graves!

Burn the house down

if you have to!

We get it.

You just did what you were told!

- Look.

- KlM Deok-chun!

No! Chief!

Please don't hit me!

Don't smile while you beat me.

That scares me more!

lt hurts more. l'm scared!

No, Chief!

Please!

- Deok-chun, hurry over.

- Sir?

- l'll see you there.

- But l'm busy...

Drop it and hurry over!

Got something for me to do, sir?

- Will you do it?

- Of course.

- You in a good mood?

- Yes.

Looks like the idiot's heart

was frozen hard.

What?

You know, Deok-chun...

l liked your blank slate.

Blank slate, sir?

Other people's slates were

red, blue, and black.

They had their own

strong colors.

l had to paint all over 'em.

But you were white.

l thought l could do

anything with you there.

l only took you around

and gave you errands...

Not cuz you're slow...

But cuz l like you.

l beat you!

Cuz l didn't want you

to get stained.

l only wanted you to follow me,

But in the end

l ripped you to pieces.

l'm sorry.

Don't be, Chief.

Not you, Chief.

Don't do this, sir.

Please?

Must've been hard for you.

No!

l'm okay, sir.

You can rest now.

Chief...

No, Chief!

Chief!

KlM Deok-chun is dead.

l'm going to the Chief.

Wait!

You saw how he dealt with

the two deaths in town.

Get out of there, for now.

We'll investigate

Deok-chun's death.

Who the hell is CHUN Yong-duk?

What did my father do?

Guess l can't live quietly

like moss.

Pain for pain.

Scar for scar

Eye for an eye!

Fine! l'm going right to him!

Let's see if he can kill me

like he killed my dad.

l told you to get out of there!

Hello? Hello?

Thanks for everything.

RYU Hae-guk!

Have some.

You killed him, didn't you?

You killed my father!

Answer me!

lt's okay. There's no one left

to come and eat.

They're all dead.

Did you kill my father!

l'm not finished eating!

Did l kill him, you ask?
