Well, a little...

We'll find out soon.

Any news?

Congrats, we got a kidney.

She'll get surgery soon.

Seriously?

Okay!

Good news?

Okay, Mom,

I'll call you again soon!

You prefer

your mom's voice

over a hottie's?

You're clueless.

There's this thing

called 'family affection.'

I never had a family,

so I can't relate.

You got those minions

you call family outside.

Wait!

Speaking of which,

I should join you.

Right?

I kid, don't take it

so seriously.

Isn't Kim Sung-han here?

Anything happened?

He died of heart attack

as soon as he arrived.

Heart attack?

That's great news.

I looked into it,

that f***er was

sent here to bury you.

Do you know who sent him?

The Chairman did, asswipe.

What a guy.

F***ing heart attack.

What will you do?

Gonna bury him

when you come out?

I'll get everything ready.

Ruthless f***.

How could you be so nonchalant

about killing family?

F*** that sh*t!

When my father died,

he tossed me in the orphanage!

Look!

Look at this!

I ordered the wrong noodles,

so he hit me with

a f***ing ashtray!

That was your fault.

But the one I ordered was better.

If a war breaks out now,

boys will stick to money.

Let's sit this one out.

I can't do that.

I'm sick of looking after

the senile f***, bud.

By the way,

have you looked into it?

About that Jo Hyun-su?

That bastard really was with

the Golden Crane gang.

Hey! Leave us!

They got balls.

Before forensics get him,

wipe his records.

ls Jo gonna be okay?

He's still alive and kicking.

It's hard to blow cover

in there.

We shouldn't notify

him of this.

He could fumble

and ruin the operation.

When's his mother's surgery?

Yes, I'm being admitted today.

Thank you, Chief.

Yes.

Is my son doing okay?

Photosynthesizing?

It's a nice day.

Great indeed.

Don't you f***ing

lie to me!

- Calm down!

- You f***er!

Why'd she just drop dead?!

Calm down!

Why would she just die,

you f***ing liar!

I wanna see my mom...

I'll see her and

come back!

Jo, sit down!

I gotta see her!

Sit!

Unidentied Caller

Get me out of here.

Even for a day.

There's no one else to

hold her funeral.

You're not a model prisoner

for that privilege.

And whose fault is that,

goddammit?!

Please.

I did everything you asked.

There isn't anything

I can do right now.

Undercover Agent

Don't say that,

please do something.

I've been rotting here for 2 years,

and I can't even bury Mom?

If you won't let me out,

I'm gonna expose it all.

If I wipe your records,

you're just a petty criminal.

Is that what you want?

How could you...

do this to me?

Hyun-su.

This isn't the time

to be cute.

Don't touch me.

Alright.

I know what you're

going through.

You do?

What would you know?

Huh?

How would you know that,

f***ing a**hole!

Don't do anything

you'll regret.

What was that?

F*** you!

That's enough!

A**hole!

Let go!

- Enough!

- Let go!

That's enough.

This is interesting.

It felt like only yesterday,

when you guys

tried to screw me.

Drink up.

You got a furlough today.

You'll get two escorts

and stay cuffed too.

Funeral home address.

Han paid for the entire funeral.

He threatened me

to release you early.

But that's up to

the warden.

Be happy with a day furlough.

I don't even remember

Dad's face.

She was everything to me.

It feels like I've been

thrown out by the world.

Forget it.

What would you know?

Do you know who tried to

kill me for the first time?

A woman I called Mom.

After a drink, Dad took pleasure

in beating her and me.

He was fine when he was sober.

The problem was,

he drank everyday.

When I was 12 or so,

we had dinner one day

but something felt off,

and the food tasted weird too.

Mom tried to avoid

my eye contact.

So I ran to the washroom,

stuck fingers down my throat,

and threw up.

And when I came back,

both of my parents foaming

at the mouth and dead.

Bro, I'm sorry... I...

I'm quite used to

being thrown out.

Anyway, the moral

of this story is,

don't trust people,

trust the circumstances.

When you get out,

do you really want to

partner up?

F***ing hell,

if you like,

let's give it a go.

Lost boys banding together.

And you know,

it'd be fun to

have you around.

I'm not asking you

to be my minion.

How about it?

Sounds fun?

- But in exchange...

- Bro...

I'm a cop.

127 days after release

What happened?

- We lost his signal.

- What?

Is his cover blown?

I don't think so,

his watch must be busted.

Play it.

I don't know

what you've heard,

I only unloaded 200 boxes

of king crabs that day.

The Chairman and I didn't see

eye to eye recently,

but I'm not someone

who'd cause a stink over it.

Could I make a call?

Go ahead.

You have that right.

Who's that?

Choi Dae-hyun, 45,

12 violent crimes, and...

Cpt. Choi?

Jesus Christ...

He's a professional criminal.

He's too big of a foe

for Jo to tackle alone.

What's the backstory?

Ko smuggled in a few seals

for forging export documents,

and Choi must've

intercepted them.

What seals?

Busan Customs and

Harbor Master seals are verified.

The customs folks will go

batshit crazy.

Shouldn't we swoop in?

And abandon 3-years

undercover work?

This is the Chairman's

final proposal.

Come on,

what's with you?

I don't have those seals!

If you see the number,

you'll kiss my feet.

Wow.

You joke well

for such a pretty boy.

Am I laughing?

Let's begin.

What's the rush?

Why are you so antsy

like a pissy dog?

We gotta get them

all at once.

Dude, are you worried

about your protege?

Bastard!

Get him!

Go away!

Don't come closer!

Go away! Go!

What are you waiting for?

Kill the f***er!

Here they are.

Hey!

What is it?

Gonna work?

It's fun to work

once in a while.

Dude!

Everyone?

Have fun!

Baby! I'm home!

Come on in.

Hey, stop!

Don't do it! Please!

Dammit!

I almost got hurt.

And I almost died.

Get him off of me.

Help me up.

You gotta get him off

so I can help.

I can get him off

only if you get me up.

Oh, for f***'s sake!

Stay back!

Don't come!

Stay back!

This isn't right...

We got the seals and took care

of Choi thanks to Hyun-su.

Good work.

This job was fun.

Fun?

Did he just say it was fun?

H...

A barrel of fun!

Good to see you.

Fun place, eh?

Hey.

Mr. Gegard is waiting for you.

Cheers!

Stay put.

It's been a while,

Mr. Gegard.

Good to see you, Mr. Han.

Are you nuts?

Why the f*** are you here?

You look dope.

Be careful with this one.

I'm so f***ing moved.

It feels like

I'm being watched too.

Choi is still unconscious.

Do you even know

what we did to cover it up?

Then send me back in!

- You b*tch!

- Jo Hyun-su!

Jo Hyun-su!

F***ing bastard!

What's going on?

The toilet was nasty

so I came out for a leak,

then this perverted f***

got a peek.

Jesus!

This may be a progressive society,

but that's not right.

I think there's been

a misunderstanding.

I didn't peek on purpose...

F***ing pervert.

You picked the wrong dick

to play peeping tom on.

- Bro! Stop!
