- Then let's just start voting.

- Wait!

- Make your speech.

- Please!

- Say something!

- Come on, please!

Everyone knows him, but

they don't know you.

Come on up, then.

Thank you.

I'm honoured and thankful

to even be nominated.

But a speech? Would it be okay, sir?

Go ahead.

I once heard this.

You all know the word 'change'. Right?

Change...

It means to modify or make new.

From here...

If we just erase this...

It turns into 'chance'.

Think about it.

Haeundae beach is close-by.

It's become a world-class tourist spot.

So why not Kijang?

CHOI DAE-HO

CHOI DAE...

KOO JONG-JIN

Got the results?

Here comes the envelope.

I will announce the results!

The winner is...

It was a close race!

You won for sure, Chief!

He knows the locals well,

and I know him well too.

In my personal opinion, I think

the right candidate won.

The President of our co-op is...

I'm sure he'll work hard

for our businesses.

Stop stalling and announce the winner!

Now, I'll really announce the winner.

Our first co-op President is...

The ace of Kijang FC!

- Nice!

- He won!

Yes!

He won, he won!

Mr. Koo Jong-jin! Give him a big hand!

- Get up Mr. Koo!

- Please give him a big hand!

Hurray!

Change!

Really?

KOO JONG-JIN

Please, stop teasing me.

Let's go for refreshments!

Deok-man's restaurant, okay?

How about chicken for dinner?

I reserved a good place.

Chicken sounds good!

10 people.

I'm sorry. We're all booked.

Please come again next time.

- But we're a big group.

- Let's go.

Let's go!

Why aren't they picking up?

- Have a drink, sir.

- Thank you, Mr. Koo.

Come join us, Chief. You're

making things awkward.

Forget it!

Come on.

It was a close race!

Know by how much he won?

Just one vote.

I was so shocked! Who knew one

vote will change the game?

It's not because Mr. Koo is so great.

People voted for him because

he's close with you.

So just drink and forget it.

How dare you, little twerp!

Don't start telling me what to do!

Here's trouble.

What's with Chief Choi?

Know what he used to do?

That...

That little...

Stop it, Chief Choi. You're drunk.

Go on, Chun-moo. Take him home already.

Let go! I'm not drunk!

I said let go! I'm not drunk!

Let go!

Detective Choi!

- I'm alright!

- Are you alright, Chief Choi?

Chief!

Mr. Gwak, please get the car ready for me.

I should see him off.

No, let me take him home.

Don't worry.

Choon-mo will take him. Stay here, Mr. Koo.

- But I should go...

- It's okay.

Go back to your seat.

How about a toast to our new President!

Cheers!

You stupid jerks!

I'll show you who he really is!

Watch closely!

What's with you?

This can't be.

Where are your needle marks?

Detective Choi...

- Oh. Are they on your legs?

- Chief!

Let go!

Yes, that's right!

I'm an ex-convict.

It was to make a living. I'm sorry.

But...

Know how hard it is to

live as an ex-convict?

I almost jumped a bridge 5 times.

I slit my wrist 3 times! But every time...

But you know what stopped me each time?

The beef soup Detective Choi bought me!

Don't you remember? You don't?

If you don't remember, then I'll just...

What good is living!

I'll just die!

Cut the act, bastard!

You may fool others, but you can't fool me!

Don't forget! I'm always watching you!

Detective Choi...

Let's go, Chief.

Got that?

Let go, pal!

I'm fine. I'm...

Hope you choke on the chicken!

MOKWON RESTAURAN Enough with your stories.

He's a hard working, good man.

Why keep bringing up his past?

Remember the bald laundry shop owner?

My dad got scammed by him 3 times.

That bald man! He swindled my dad 3 times!

Do you know what were his last words?

First...

People don't change easily.

Second...

Never trust baldies.

Deok-man!

Once a marine!

Always a marine!

Once a drug dealer,

always a drug dealer too.

- Help, help!

- Careful!

But...

Is this really okay?

Trust my instincts!

Once they get the taste of

money, they can't give it up.

But I think this is going over the edge.

Marines have no fear!

Deok-man.

If a rat digs a hole...

it gets tons of food.

See here?

This is a rat cave.

You watched too many movies!

If you eat that, you could...

High purity meth...

will turn to crystals once heated.

But this just burns.

Which means it's not meth.

We only have 2 hours left.

Geez!

Water!

You fool!

What the hell!

What are you doing!

Fire extinguisher!

Hurry!

Fire extinguisher!

That's hot!

Damn!

Go on! Blast it!

Give me that!

Sir!

Shoudn't we call 911?

You nuts?

What's this?

What's burning?

Detective Choi?

Is it because I became the President?

Nope.

Then let me just step down.

No. That's not really why.

I'll explain.

I must've lost my mind because of Il Sik.

Who's Il Sik?

He was at the motel with

you when you got caught.

The ugly bastard with those slit eyes.

The one with a tattoo on his neck?

That's right.

He's doing business with Popeye again.

Coincidentally, the drugs surfaced

around the time you came here.

I had no idea. It must've

been hard for you.

Why didn't you just be honest with me?

That jerk ruined my life.

My poor partner died too.

I really wanted to catch

them with my own hands.

But I guess I went overboard.

It's okay. I completely understand.

Are you hurt at all?

No, I'm fine.

I'm so sorry about your house.

Don't worry, sir. I can clean it up.

Detective Choi?

I got you a small gift. I hope you like it.

What's this?

I was looking for the right

time to give it to you.

Forget it. How can I accept it?

But you helped me with Beach Town and all.

I should thank you, sir.

Detective Choi?

I want to do bigger things with you.

Know how I feel?

Sure...

Will you try it on?

- No.

- Try it on.

- No.

- I hope it fits.

Like this...

There!

It fits!

Fermented soy bean soup,

in this hot weather?

I don't want it.

Why you!

Now you're complaining about food?

Then don't eat!

You went around like that?

Why not just go around naked?

It's just down the road.

Freeze right there!

What's this?

It's not a tattoo. It's hena.

It'll wash off.

When did you do this? It

wasn't here last week!

Everyone does it these days!

Who, these days? Show me!

Where's the scrub?

You let her do that? When did she get that?

It'll be gone in a week!

Don't run!

The one with a tattoo on his neck?

Take care!

Right.

Il Sik didn't have a tattoo 5 years ago.

Il Sik and Koo are in it together.

Why's he going so far?

It's because he needs to hide his stink.

How've you been?

They're just going fishing.

May I ask you something?

That boat there, do you

know where it's headed?

Out to a deserted island.

A hidden gem for fishers.

Do they come here often?

Must be a fishing club.

They stay there overnight.

Could you take me out there?

For what?

It's far. It'll cost you a lot.

Really?

Hold on.

Wait! Where's my wallet?

Where'd I put it?

DETECTIVE CHOI DAE-HO

Is it in the car?

- Go check the car...

- You're a cop?

A cop shouldn't be so

clumsy and lose things.
