Oh, you found me out.

- I'll do it for $300, roundtrip.

- $300?

Minus $100, how about it?

See you later, sir!

Take care!

Who are they, anyway?

If you notice them up to

anything suspicious...

Please call me on this number.

Mokwon Restaurant Manager Lee Deok-man

Mokwon Restaurant?

Aren't you a cop?

It's an undercover investigation.

That's my secret agent.

Okay.

Captain? Let's go to the other side.

Starboard! Check!

I smell meth.

NO SERVICE:

So cold!

Hello?

Bastard, did you doze off?

Hi, sir.

You dozed off, didn't you?

- No, I didn't.

- Yes, you did!

Why didn't you call me before?

Where are the druggies?

They're about to leave.

Send the boat now!

What?

Send me the boat, quick!

Now!

Why'd they come so far to fish?

There are plenty of good spots around Ulan.

They weren't fishing. They

synthesized crude substances.

Meth smells nasty during synthesis.

So they do it in remote places.

It's the norm.

Now what?

Summon the gang.

Chief! It's crackdown time!

Let's catch some druggies!

Call the SIU, now!

Everyone freeze!

Special Investigations Unit.

- Detective Choi?

- What is it?

You know why!

You right there!

Freeze!

We got a report of drug distilling.

Drugs?

But where's the warrant? This is too much!

It's okay Mr. Gwak. They received a report.

We'll cooperate.

- Start searching!

- Move it!

Hurry!

Start from the inside!

This is it, right?

I don't think this is it.

Check closely. Take a sample to forensics.

Look at him!

Why dress like this to

make fermented soy beans?

You try smelling this all day.

It stinks!

It's here!

Not the fermentation room!

Move!

Move!

What the...

They're all fermented soy beans!

Guess he's clean.

Chief Kang?

What are you doing?

Let's pull out!

No! Wait!

I saw it!

They synthesized meth on an island!

Dae-ho, let's just drop it.

You bastard!

Where'd you put the meth? Tell me!

I don't know what you mean, sir.

You bastard!

- You bastard!

- What's with you, sir!

Let go!

Enough already!

You've caused us enough trouble.

And why'd you open the fermentation room?

You ruined $30,000 worth!

Can you pay?

That's not what's important.

You have to investigate Koo!

He has connections to Il Sik!

You're crazy.

Come on, stop it!

Come here! You bastard!

Where's the meth!

He's totally lost it.

After losing the election

to you, he's lost his mind!

Mr. Koo,

Don't let him off the hook!

No, it must be a misunderstanding.

I owe my life to him.

I must've done something wrong.

Owe me your life?

You jerk!

Mr. Choi Dae-ho!

Enough already!

If it wasn't for Mr. Koo, you'd be in jail!

Sir?

You! Follow me to school!

Follow him.

- You deserved to get hit.

- Shut up.

What's that?

Listen!

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

I saw you making the meth

on that deserted island.

I have no idea what you're

talking about, sir.

Think I'm joking around here?

Well, it looks like I got you really mad,

so just hit me all you want, sir.

I'll gladly take the punches.

Why you little!

Stand straight!

Wait.

About your punches, sir.

Back at the factory too.

Your shoulder is tensed up, sir.

Relax your shoulders and

use your arms to punch.

Relax your shoulders and

use your arms to punch.

A quick snap of the arms. Try it.

Why you little!

That's not it!

Can't you do it right?

A quick snap!

Try it.

Come on.

Again!

Pull yourself together!

You jerk!

Where'd you go?

Already giving up? Come on!

- He rocks. It's game over.

- Game way over.

Let's go.

What silver medalist?

Come here.

- Recorded it?

- Yes.

Take a picture of us. Him and me together.

- Get our faces good.

- Yes, sir.

Let's see.

Can't see well.

Again.

Look at the camera.

Good.

Here.

Let go!

What did I do so wrong?

Everyone's making money thanks to me!

Don't view things as just good or evil.

The world is not black and white.

It's mostly grey.

Got that?

- God damnit.

- Let's go, sir.

Edit it good!

PEACE TO ALL WHO ENTERS HERE

Damn it, Dae-ho!

I'm dead without the order

for 100 air conditioners!

You're not the only one.

Look! Here comes our old sheriff.

He's trouble!

I was right!

He's a major league drug dealer!

In this troubled time, we

gotta stick together and...

Drugs! Drugs! Enough already!

Damn it!

What's wrong with you?

Look.

Mr. Koo said he'll cancel

Beach Town and leave!

Whose fault is that?

Beach Town was not why he came here.

- He came for a big drug deal!

- Dae-ho!

That's enough already!

Why don't you meet him and try apologizing?

If he leaves, everyone

in Kijang will lose out!

Choon-mo's air conditioners,

Kang-gon's water purifiers...

and even Sun-chul's boat!

They'll all go broke!

It'll be all your fault!

I understand how you feel.

He came and took over your turf.

You must hate him.

I get that.

What are you saying?

You think I'm doing this

out of a personal grudge?

How frustrating!

Let's get this straight,

It's not exactly his turf.

You were born in Chang-won.

I heard you moved here at age 6.

Why you little...

Fool!

Don't spread stupid rumours!

- You bastard!

- Go on! Hit me!

Stop!

- Let me go.

- Stop it!

- I said, let me go!

- Stop them.

Stay still.

Let me go!

Wanna move away?

Why all of a sudden?

I'm worried about Mom living alone.

And things here have changed.

Sir! Come quickly!

Deok-man's having a fit!

- What's he doing?

- You're all dead!

Deok-man!

What are you doing?

Stay out of this!

You call yourselves humans?

- What the hell did we do?

- Stop.

You bastard!

Deok-man!

Deok-man!

Are you okay?

Let go, fool!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

Get him treated with this.

I warned you last night...

Can someone call 911?

- Call 911!

- Mr. Koo? Are you okay?

- The brother-in-laws are the same!

- He's shaming us all!

What is it?

Why won't you tell me?

He should be ashamed.

Dumb and dumber brother-in-laws!

Aren't you mad?

You're going to just take it?

It's all useless.

Deok-man.

Let's leave Kijang.

Shouldn't men with balls be loyal?

Damn those traitors!

I wish I could punch their lights out!

Hello?

Sir? It's Detective Kim.

What is it?

We caught Shin Il Sik this morning.

We need you to come in as a witness, sir.

Forget it. You just fill in for me.

I'd love to,

but you're the only witness

from 5 years ago, sir.

DAEJEON POLICE STATION

I just need your thumb-print

at the bottom, sir.

I'm sorry to make you come so far for this.

- Then I'm done?

- Yes.

We're not drug traffickers!

Who are those folks?

They got scammed.

Some town folks transported and

sold drugs without knowing.

Popeye and Il Sik destroyed their town.

It's too bad, but they'll be charged.

He made us do it!

- Detective Kim?

- Yes?

Can I talk to Il Sik?

Long time no see!

Must be Chief by now. Congratulations!

Cut the small talk.

Know who he is?

Nope.

That motel 5 years ago.

Oh! That newbie!

I recognize him now. The big head!

Ever met him since then?

Of course not.

I left for China after 2 weeks back then.
