Leave, see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Do you still have

your phone?

You got something to report?

I found this inside the joint,

you should really take a look.

There are some

interesting images.

I'd like to report this guy for

illegally distributing cigarettes.

This guy?

'Gentleman,' please.

This gentleman.

Are you threatening me?

How can we ever

threaten you, sir?

Since we got the photos,

it'll be easy to file the report.

You bastards!

F***, f***, f***!

Motherfuckers!

I've f***ing had it!

You f***ing rat,

do I look easy?

Not at all.

l was gonna report him for

possessing that too.

You conniving f***!

How dare you!

Don't you get it?

We sent those pics to

this gentleman's crew outside.

If we can't be reached

for a week or no visits allowed,

they'll send those pics

to the prosecutor.

Chief.

l'm risking just a year

added to my time,

but when a case opens up,

who do you think I'll name?

When I was a kid,

your memoir made

a strong impression on me.

'My Fist Cried Every Night'...

You said you fought

30 men and won,

was that for real?

I thought you threw

fireballs and sh*t.

Boss, it's ready.

One moment.

Ouch!

Wait outside.

Motherf***er!

You're a real original gangsta.

Let me ask you something.

We don't cross paths outside,

so why come after me?

I really don't understand.

My apologies,

let's end it here.

Wrong!

Not the right answer.

Ko Byung-chul!

It was Chairman Ko.

Shut your f***ing hole!

Your own boss gave you up.

Lying sack of sh*t.

Don't make sh*t up!

5kg shipment in August!

If my boss buried you,

Ko promised us a third.

Son of a b*tch!

That's enough!

That answer...

sounds convincing.

Right?

l'm Kim Sung-han.

What happened today...

There is no tomorrow for us,

your threats don't work.

So many men

accidentally die in here.

Alright.

Look at me.

Come on,

look at me.

This won't end

if you don't.

Very good.

Play ball.

Watch .

32 days after release

Strike!

Out!

Are you absolutely sure

Kim died of a heart attack?

So, Jae-ho isn't after my neck?

Not this again.

Uncle, I checked it myself.

Kim had high blood pressure.

You get more suspicious

as you grow older.

And full of regrets too.

Thank you.

Uncle,

will you put out

a hit on Jae-ho again?

He still has some use left.

Your orphanage friendship

really is forever.

I doubt that.

You and I are

bound by blood.

This is a family business.

Okay, I got a question.

Sure.

You took in a mutt

off the street and raised it,

took good care of it.

Its fur looks healthy

and it's bulking up.

But as it gets bigger,

it stops wagging its tail.

It barks and shows

its teeth sometimes.

What's funny is that,

it doesn't know its place.

Byung-gab.

What should its owner do?

If you were me...

Jae-ho, that f***!

You bastard!

The Chairman could've been hurt!

It's been a while,

I got no control!

So sorry, Chairman!

Go easy!

Sons of b*tches.

If I let him be,

he'll eventually bite.

Then he should be put down.

Indeed.

After this Russian deal,

let's set a day.

Oceane Import,

where all fresh shes are

Over 700 types,

delicious and fresh food

Oceane Import

home shopping!

Call us, we'll deliver

anywhere in the country!

3 years and 4 months ago,

Busan Metro Police

Why are we watching this?

He's the primary target

of this operation.

Ko Byung-chul,

52 years old.

Current head of Oceane Import,

vice chair of Fisheries Coop Union.

Chairman Ko?

He used to provide strippers

for a Russian bar in Seoul,

and partnered up with

Vladivostok's Gegard mob.

Vitaly Gegard is an ex-officer,

and operates over 80 ships

that are docked

in Busan harbor.

Continue.

In 2008,

Ko relocated to Busan,

and founded Oceane,

an aquatic importer.

It's a front for a massive

smuggling operation.

Using ice boxes to move

meth, hashish, and cocaine,

they smuggled about

15kg last year alone.

You should've caught him then!

Why cry over spilled milk!

This is a bad habit!

Dump this case,

and bring me

press-friendly cases.

Like a celeb drug scandal.

Why don't we

officially import meth?

I heard the high

is amazing!

Let's make our people

happy for once.

- Enough!

- What?!

Sir?

Why not?

This is an economic issue.

Russia is reducing

the fishing quota every year,

and if the mafia-run ships

stop coming, it'll be a disaster.

So, fish come before drugs?

Manage your anger

and do as you're told!

By working press-friendly cases,

will you reach HQ

by your 60th birthday?

Han will be out in 2-3 years.

We can lure him and

get them in one fell swoop.

What's your plan?

Undercover detail.

You okay?

It's a 3-year gig.

That's a long one.

Agency cooperation?

None; police, prosecution,

KSA, customs, no one'll know.

Are we infiltrating

North Korea?

One recruit, one joint.

I volunteer for the recruit!

A**hole, put your hand down!

You're still a bachelor.

I'm a family man

with a wife and a baby.

Chief.

My son spoke his first word.

What do you think that was?

We're selling our families now?

My mom's sick, like super sick.

You know all about that.

His first word was, "daddy".

We played so much Yankee

prenatal music, so he spoke English.

His daddy can't go

to the joint at this point.

Jo Hyun-su,

this one's all you.

For a such crucial mission,

why'd you use a rookie

like myself?

Being humble doesn't suit you.

You were top of your class

in the Academy.

I can't do this.

No, I won't do this.

I made myself clear.

Use him for once,

he doesn't do sh*t!

Take that back!

I do plenty of sh*t!

I'm the one getting sh*t done!

Why's he barking

up my ass?

Chief, joint for him,

recruit for me, okay?

I'll get your mom a kidney.

We'll cover her dialysis bills

until we find her a kidney.

Your call.

It was an Incheon-bound ship

from Hong Kong,

it had 20,000 bamboo trees,

and ephet-...

and ephedrine.

The ship's docking time leaked...

Is this a presentation?

It's a tale of exploits.

I can sell it in alive situation.

Chicks nowadays are fresh.

Dude!

Can I work?

Your tongue is more vital

than your fist.

Get into it.

We were coming into

Incheon at 2 AM,

and that leaked.

The po-pos littered the harbor.

So what can we do?

F***, we unloaded the bamboos

and stayed on the ship for a week,

and we had f***-all to do.

Then we discovered

Chinese Viagra knock-offs.

The Chinese-Koreans were like,

let's see if these

work or not,

and they all had

huge boners.

So the knock-offs worked?

They totally did.

They couldn't hold it

and got off and arrested.

That worked out in our favor.

We called the trucks

and unloaded in record time,

and took off.

And the Chinese-Koreans?

We unloaded all our sh*t.

The po-pos had nothing,

so they were released.

Hallelujah!

Viagra saved you all.

Viagra brings back

dead boners back to life.

No way!

I'll grant you one wish.

I want a new cell!

The biggest one!

That's my cell.

Han is not a gullible target.

Is he biting at all?
