Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time Page #3

---

Mr. Choi.

How are you holding up?

Let me make one call.

Well

It's Choi Ik-hyun.

Prosecutor Jo, come say hello.

This is chief prosecutor Choi,

from Seoul Prosecutor's Office,

Good afternoon,

I am Jo Bum-suk.

Prosecutor Jo,

I know Choi well because

he's a Kyung-joo Choi too,

and it's true that he's acquainted

with some gangs.

But your reasoning is that

if you know a gangster,

you're automatically guilty

by association.

Excuse me in saying so, but I know

the difference at least that much.

Then how could you investigate

this inadequately?

Choi Ik-hyun was a civil official,

an appointed figure.

Do you know Choi Hyung-bae?

You mean the gangster?

Yes, the gang boss.

That man is Choi Ik-hyun's relative.

Did you know that?

Is that so?

That's what I thought

How do you investigate

without such vital info?

Let's say Choi Ik-hyun is a gangster,

then logically he should be

associated with Choi Hyung-bae,

why'd he side with rival

Kim Pan-ho?

This is what I'm trying

to tell you.

I too investigated gangs

in my days.

My apologies, sir.

From what I'm hearing, I think Jo

made some grave errors.

We'll investigate according

to the protocol.

Shall we go for lunch?

So you're saying you have

no ties to Kim Pan-ho, right?

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

And you had no part in

assaulting and threatening Hur.

Don't change your story later.

Fine, go home for now.

But let's get one thing straight.

If there is slightest contradiction in

your story during my investigation,

I'll come after you

with everything I got,

no one will be able to protect you.

Go.

April 1985, Busan

- Bring me something cold.

- Yes, sir.

- Bring some juice here!

- Yes, how many glasses?

Two!

Oh hello, Mr. Hur.

Wait, look who it is!

Manager Choi!

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be

at the office at this hour?

You haven't heard, Mr. Hur.

I left the customs office

Why did you leave such stable job?

People tend to look for vocations

that's just right for them.

If you got some good business ideas,

be sure to let me in on it.

Certainly!

Good afternoon, boss.

Ah, yeah.

- Go on now.

- Yes, boss.

Who are they?

You know, they do some chores

for me now and then.

Busy?

Ah, no.

Enjoy.

Sure thing.

This is fresh!

By the way, Mr. Choi,

this may be inappropriate

for me to ask you,

but do you know any gangsters?

How could they not

make any profit,

even though it's this crowded

on a weekday?!

That's what I'm saying.

See that guy with mustache?

They're the ones

I've been telling you.

As you can see,

this place is doing very well,

but at the end of the month,

they take out various bullshit expenses,

so there's no profit, and I'm putting

more money in for maintenance.

You're such a fool.

And you didn't do

anything about it?

What am I supposed to do then?

Who brought those goons in?

Among the investors, there's a woman

who owns 40%, she's the one.

I think they partnered up with her

and siphon the profit.

What's your share?

Here he comes.

That's Kim Pan-ho,

the chief manager.

That deputy works for him.

From what I hear, he's one of

the top gangsters in Busan.

So they want to pay him off with 20 large

that he put in 2 years ago.

We're really tight.

Pan-ho was one of us.

We're the same age as well.

Even though he's not with us now,

we rose together in the same family.

I can't get involved

without justification.

Yeah? He's that tough?

You can't beat him?

Daebu, that's not it.

Justification is the problem.

There are rules even in

the gangster world.

I can kick his ass

no problem though.

Ms. Ko, isn't there fresher batch?

Bring us those.

Yes, sir. The ladies who had

that meeting are leaving.

Yeah?

Excuse me for a moment.

Ms. Ko,

you became more beautiful.

Leaving already?

I wasn't sure if the food was

to your liking.

We had a great meal

thanks to you.

Is that so?

Jong-bin, let me give you

some allowance.

My gosh,

you shouldn't do that!

Those pigs ate so much.

Sir, you're much too busy.

Why are you paying so much attention

to those women for?

She's the one who took care of

the licensing problem you had.

Would I feed anyone

who'll blow me?

Is that right?

Hyung-bae,

you mentioned justification earlier.

You and I are family.

Is there more important

justification than that?

Tell me if I'm wrong

about this, am I?

What, you're not up for it?

Sir, I don't know

what you take me for,

but I'm an upstanding

martial artist!

I shouldn't get involved

in this line of business.

Listen to yourself, just listen.

What a selfish bastard!

Would you let your child

live like you?

At the very least,

your child should live proudly.

Crazy bastard.

Welcome.

Good afternoon.

- It's this room.

- Right here?

Good afternoon!

Welcome, Mr. Hur.

Been a while.

You got here early.

Please sit down.

I'm sorry for being late.

I'm Choi Ik-hyun,

your new partner.

- This is Ms. Jung.

- Is that right?

Mr. Hur told me a lot

about you.

You're more beautiful

than what I've heard.

Fine, let me introduce you,

this is the chief manager

Kim Pan-ho.

Nice to meet you.

I heard the gist of it,

why did you make us come

all the way down here for?

What a pretty mouth

on that pretty face.

Alright.

Let me get down

to the business.

From today,

I will check the admissions,

and daily accounting reports.

I hear this place leaks money

like a bottomless barrel.

How could you run

a legit business this way?

Secondly,

in order to prevent

further complications,

I want to place

one of my men here.

Who?

This fella right here.

He's a competent man

with plenty of experience,

so he'll be a huge help

with your endeavors.

What the f***!

I had enough of this bullshit!

You've been around much?

I don't know

who the f*** you are,

but I've had enough!

Calm down and sit down.

Who the f*** are you?

Which gang do you belong to?

I'm a black belt, sit down.

Enough.

Can't you see

the grown-ups are talking?

I'm sorry boss.

Hey, mister partner,

looks like you're old enough,

shouldn't you know

when to shut your mouth?

Scared?

Mister, I don't know

where you crawled out of,

but you should stop

for your sake.

Watch your f***ing mouth, b*tch!

- What the f***!

- Are you f***ing nuts?!

You're done for now.

I'll f***ing kill you!

Hey! Do you know who I am?

So this is how you want it?

A**holes!

You're all finished!

Alright, they bit the bait,

just go and wait for my call.

Bastards.

F*** off!

See them making off.

Those bastards ganging up

Sir, I could of really kicked

their asses one-on-one.

Hyung-bae,

It's all ready for you.

Chang-woo

Let's go!

F***ers!

A**holes!

Beat them all!

Motherfuckers!

Where you going?!

Head down!

I said head down!

What the f***'s going on?!

I heard about this today.

I know this is your turf,

but also my Daebu's business.

Isn't it better for me

to have his back?

Let's do it like this.

Let's put half of our guys

in the club,
