Let's go, let's go!

- Shut up!

- Ouch!

Chief! I called you ages ago.

What took you so long?

I guess you got lucky

and found a big catch?

Lucky? It's all a cop's intuition, sir.

I'm a veteran at investigating drugs.

Chief?

I'll send the evidence over to SIU.

Good.

For what?

Sir.

It's Popeye's stuff! 100%!

Where's the bastard now?

Rumours say he works in Japan now.

But who knows? Meth goes around.

KIJANG, BUSAN POLICE

Who do you think you owe

it to on this case, huh?

I know, sir.

But if Chief Kang finds out, I'm dead.

It's Popeye's, right?

What are you looking at?

- Yes...

- I knew it!

They say the stuff is even

smuggled out to Japan and China.

Export to where it originated?

Creative economy, huh?

And Shin Il Sik, Popeye's

exclusive deliverer...

appeared in Incheon recently.

Did you say, Shin Il Sik?

Yes.

METH GOING AROUND IN KOREA?

Looking good today!

How's my big boy?

Honey!

Are you sleeping?

Why you!

Stop wasting your stamina on others!

- Beach Town?

- Lift up!

Who's the owner?

A businessman from Seoul.

I heard he's loaded.

The building is remodeled nicely, too.

Like the new supermarket owner who

sold big and left in 6 months.

We're worried he'll suck

all our money then leave.

The mall will open eventually,

it's been decided.

But you should be the co-op

President to assure the retailers.

That should be a later option.

We can't just let him come

here all that easily.

- Right.

- Have a drink, sir.

You all know about the gangsters

breaking up protests, right?

They're not easy to deal with!

It's all about intimidating them!

Look them right in the eye!

Got it?

It'll be better than wasting your money.

Answer me, people!

Get your tools!

Hand them out!

What's this for?

These are all our men? What

can we do with just them?

And seniors in this heatwave?

We needed more people.

They came for their $10.

- Who told them that?

- Sun-chul.

Crazy fool!

Everyone's gone out to make a living.

This won't work!

The Beach Town folks are

coming through the back gate!

Damn! It'll be ugly.

Wait here people!

- Follow me.

- Yes, sir.

Let's go!

- The tension is crazy today!

- Shut up and stay back!

Choi Dae-ho!

Not you again!

We already have the permit.

Think this will work?

What the hell are you doing?

Shut up!

Forget the damn permit!

The people don't want it!

- That's right!

- Yeah!

Cut the bullshit!

- Get out of here!

- Scram!

Why you little...

You sucked back in school too!

Stop it! Don't!

Put the camera down!

What are you doing?

That's obstruction of justice!

- I said, stop it!

- Why you!

Yes, governor. Thank you.

Take care, sir.

- Wait!

- That's obstruction of justice!

I'm sorry. I should've dropped

by earlier to say hello.

Nice to meet you. I'm Koo Jong-jin.

It's hot out. Why don't we go in...

I'm sorry, but are you Detective Choi?

Detective Choi!

Let go!

To find you,

I searched all the police

stations in this country.

But we meet here?

First, allow me to bow.

What are you doing, sir?

Your suit will get wrinkled!

You must have the wrong guy!

Don't you remember me, sir?

5 years ago... In Daejeon?

How can I put this into words?

The beef soup.

You bought it for me, to cheer me up.

Right...

So... It's you?

Yes.

The deliverer?

Yes, that deliverer.

Detective!

All thanks to you, I'm doing well.

Oh my!

Dear god! Thank you!

How've you been?

You own Samho Food?

That's right, sir.

I studied Oriental medicine in prison.

Then my fermented soy bean

pills passed the FDA.

I sold big on home shopping.

I was lucky.

It's good to see you so successful.

Drink up!

You have dark circles and

your complexion is dark.

May I see your tongue?

Your tongue. Like this.

Could you stick it out?

I need to check, sir.

Eh!

I need to see inside.

Just a bit more.

Hold on, sir.

- What are you doing?

- It hurts, right?

You've overworked your liver.

You're a lesser yin,

so food like this is poison to your type.

It's okay. It all comes with age.

You've aged so much, sir.

- Hey, hey...

- Your muscles are so tense.

- What are you doing?

- Chief,

I'll make sure you're healthy!

Don't worry, sir.

I just need to relax these muscles here.

Stop it!

One moment.

Wait, sir.

Yes, Mr. Gwak?

Oh, right! I forgot.

Okay, I'll be on my way.

I'm so sorry, sir.

What is it?

I forgot I had a meeting with some clients.

At this hour?

They're Japanese. It must be urgent.

They say the stuff is even

smuggled out to Japan and China.

I can come right back.

Would you wait for me?

Today's not the only day. Go on!

I'm so sorry, sir. I'll get going.

Alright.

SAMHO FOOD:

CEO KOO JONG-JIN

Meth is going around and a dealer is here?

What a coincidence.

METH FOUND IN BUSAN BARS

EMERALD METH? IS POPEYE BACK?

SHIN, THE NOTORIOUS DRUG DEALER AT WORK!

BEACH TOWN CEO KOO JONG-JIN

So late at night?

Hi, Jong-jin.

Did you get home well, sir?

Leaving you like that, I

couldn't really focus on work.

Well, work is important.

I never thought we'd meet like this.

I'll repay you for your kindness.

- Okay. Uh, by the way...

- Yes, Chief?

Uh...

I was sleeping.

Really? I'm so sorry, sir.

I woke you, did I?

Then I'll call you tomorrow, sir.

- Bye.

- Goodnight.

CEO GREETING KOO JONG-JIN

A building owner in 3 years from

selling fermented soy beans?

Only spies and drug dealers can

get that rich in a short time.

That's crazy. Just go back to your shop.

Deok-man can't tell pork and beef apart.

Forget my restaurant.

Meth is going around suddenly!

Isn't it fishy?

Geez.

Sir!

Why is he here?

He even had lunch with the

city assembly yesterday.

Why would someone like him deal drugs?

You saw him. Long sleeves

in this hot weather!

I bet his arm is covered with needle marks!

He's a businessman! Think

he'll dress like a bum?

Fine, I'll just report him to SIU.

What?

Their policy is to always

answer drug tip-offs, huh?

Why you!

Then bring me the evidence!

Needle marks or whatever! I

need something to start!

Promise?

Don't go back on your word.

Fine.

- Hello.

- Hello, sir.

Thank you for your service.

Mr. Koo!

Detective Choi! You're still here?

- Busy?

- Just a bit.

How's Beach Town coming?

It's harder than I thought.

People don't trust me.

It's hard to earn people's trust.

How about coming out to

play soccer with us?

- Soccer?

- Yes.

Get to know our community.

Be one of the guys, you know?

We can kick the ball around,

then go to a sauna after?

- Sauna?

- Sure.

I'll go wherever you'll have me, sir.

Thank you for thinking about me.

I love you, sir!

- People should help out.

- Right.

See you on Sunday.

Yes, sir.

- Bye!

- Take care, sir!

It's hot out, so go on!

Have a nice day!

Breathe in, sir!

Why did that businessman have to come?

What the hell is he doing?

Bet Chief Choi told him to come.

I heard they had expensive

sushi last night.

- Sushi?

- Yup.

What's he thinking?

Move!

- Chief Choi.

- Yes?

I know you wouldn't, but
