Popeye sent me a letter to

take the goods to China.

A letter?

Yes.

He always gives the locations

and time through letters.

Who the hell is Popeye?

Don't know. Never saw him.

You've dealt with him long.

You must know something.

Well...

I heard he made a drug town to

make and transport the drugs.

Who's this?

That bastard.

Thanks to this bastard,

I'm in this sh*t now.

He took the air conditioners

packed with meth, and...

Air conditioners?

Yes.

They're packed with meth.

We have to send him to the prosecution.

Already?

I didn't even eat.

But Popeye has a weird sense of humour.

He put two $50 bills in the

letter telling me to run.

Two $50 bills?

Yes! Where would I use that in China?

What, to grab a bite? Ha!

What did you do with the letter?

Of course I threw it out.

Not like it's a love letter.

Take care.

On the 7th, Dangseong

Ship at Incheon Port 2

That bastard.

He's Popeye!

Keeping an eye on Chief Choi?

Looks like he's on his

way down from Daejeon.

He's everywhere, isn't he?

Maybe we should postpone the deal, sir.

Il Sik's stuff was seized.

There's not enough time.

Trust means everything in business.

Work 24 hours! Hire the

locals, if you must.

There's also the transport matter.

Japan wants it via the boat.

Use their fishing boats!

- They'll be out fishing.

- They can take a break.

We're closed.

We sold the store.

Crazy old man.

What is it?

Something crazy about

secret agents and stuff.

Wait! Give me the phone.

Hello?

Hi, Detective.

Many boats are going around

that deserted island.

They're boats from Kijang,

but they're not fishing.

It's really fishy.

Who cares if he sells meth or bathes in it?

They chased you out! They're on their own!

They're all happy about a trip.

A trip?

Everyone in the co-op are going.

Koo rented out a resort for them.

A trip at this time...

He's sending everyone

away to do a deal there.

Deok-man.

Everyone in Kijang will

become drug offenders.

Innocent grannies and gramps, too!

Hee Soon, too!

Deok-man.

Though they didn't believe us...

We know he's Popeye! We gotta do something!

This is nuts!

Are you on your way?

I'm almost there.

Checked out all the ports?

You're right, something's not right.

Come quickly. I'm so scared!

Wait! I'll have to call you back.

- Why?

- Not now! I'll call you back!

- Why!

- Hang up!

Fool...

I'm so sorry!

Damn! That hurt!

You're a marine. Can't you

tell a friend from foe?

I can't see well at night...

God, you get me into all sorts of trouble.

- Let's unload.

- Yes, sir.

- Watch your back.

- Okay.

- Let's hurry it up!

- Okay!

Dad!

Oh no. It's all spilled.

Damn.

What's this?

What is that?

Do you know what this is?

All the boats went to a festival in Ulsan.

The cops went there too.

Look.

That's Sun-chul's dad's boat.

That's Chang-wan's boat.

- Koo bought them off.

- I knew it.

They're trading by sea!

What did I tell you?

The trip day is deal day!

Where's the gang?

Don't know. No answer.

Damn.

- Thank you for everything, Mr. Koo.

- My pleasure.

It's too bad you can't

come with us on the trip.

I have to go away on business.

I'll join you right after.

Too bad.

But where's Sun-chul? I don't see him.

He left something at Beach Town.

A workaholic, that one!

I'll take him later. Drive out!

- Go on ahead.

- Yes.

See you later.

- Thank you, Mr. Koo.

- Sure.

Drive safely!

Yes, sir!

They've left Japan.

Quiet everybody!

Everyone's seated, right?

Let's go, bus driver!

Sir? Sir?

- What?

- We're going the wrong way.

What do you mean?

Look! We're headed back.

Right! Hey, driver!

You're going the wrong way!

Mister?

Sir? The bus is...

Deok-man?

What are you doing?

Deok-man?

It's really Deok-man?

What are you doing?

It's really him!

You can't drive a bus.

I drove it in the army.

And we're on the highway!

Don't make me mad!

- What's happening?

- Calm down.

Hold on tight!

It's all done.

Nice weather.

- The shipment is ready.

- Good.

Hey!

Then the deal's done.

Have a safe trip back.

I saw to the maritime police. Don't worry.

Is that right?

Dad...

Let go!

Isn't that our bus?

Are you crazy, Deok-man?

What do you think you're doing?

Look over there!

What is it?

- Isn't that Mr. Koo?

- It is.

Wasn't he going away on business?

Business? He's selling drugs!

What?

He put drugs on our boats

to sell to the Japanese.

Meth?

Deok-man! Where are you going?

See? Sun-chul and the

others are held captive!

Sir! Help!

He's right!

Damn bastards!

What do we do?

How annoying.

- Now what?

- Dae-ho was right.

What's going on?

Don't worry and just go.

Start up the boats.

- What do we do?

- Hold on.

They're coming!

Come on! Take the tools!

Deok-man...

Hee Soon, you stay inside.

It's dangerous out here!

What's that?

Sir!

Chief!

Hey, druggie!

You bastards are toast!

Still hasn't learned his lesson.

Captain! Now, please!

Now you drug dealers in a trap!

Sir?

I'll handle here. Just go.

Your car is ready.

Charge!

Die druggies! Die!

You bastards! Stop!

The hell?

Damn it.

Move the trucks.

We can't.

You can't?

Freeze!

Sir!

It's all clear here.

We got the meth and the

maritime police are coming.

Great. Good work!

You boys can go.

He and I need to talk.

Yes, sir!

I don't believe this.

Stop there, fool!

It's all over at the port.

Now it's just you and me!

Popeye!

What's that you're doing?

So, you came here alone?

You're amazing.

Detectives are scary. I

underestimated you, Chief.

I'm so sorry, sir.

Now you understand who you're dealing with?

Of course. My life-saver.

I got out in 2 years instead of 20.

I owe you so much!

Shut up, fool.

Ready this time?

I taught you at that school.

Quick snaps.

Grabbing my suit again?

Well, your grip got stronger.

Did you work out?

Again!

Sh*t.

Detective Choi,

You can't ever beat me,

not in your lifetime.

Ow! You bonehead!

Again?

Wow, no-one's flipped me in a long time!

What?

Son of a b*tch!

I was wondering why you're Popeye!

Why you!

You got nothing up here!

If you've got no hair,

just be bald and proud!

Why hide it?

Dad was right.

You shouldn't have done that.

You're dead!

A mirror...

Stop!

Stop! Please!

It hurts! It really hurts!

I can't breathe!

Don't kill me.

Bastard!

Now this is class.

Damn drug dealer. That was low!

Winning is everything at war!

See ya!

Ugh... Damn it!

Bastard.

I thought I was a goner.

Let's see ya, fool!

Get up!

Fool.

The world is grey, you say?

Fool.

Still, to me...

Smile for me!

It's black and white.

An Asian drug lord...

who sold meth throughout

Korea, Japan, and China...

known as 'Popeye, ' has been arrested.

According to the police, Koo,

disguised as a businessman...

Happy?

Of course.

Come in.

Hello!

There he is.

Hi, Mi-sun.

Hi, Chief.

This is nothing much.

- That's a lot.

- Oh, is it?

Still, save some for later.

Chief? Are you okay?

This stuff is the best for bruises.

Don't take it. It won't work.
