Seoul (2002) Movie Script

SEOUL
Passengers on Korean Airline
Flight 703 for Narita Tokyo.
Please hurry to Gate 28.
I'm late for my plane.
Watch out!
Open the door!
Waste him!
Get away!
Jump!
Damn you!
Japanese?
Shit!
Why are you here?
You must tell me the reason.
Tell me why you did that?
Too bad! I missed my plane.
Detective Park.
"POLICE AGENCY"
Name's Hayase Yutaro.
He says he brought a convict
from Japan yesterday.
He says he's a detective.
Yes.
Correct?
I see.
I told you, didn't I?
72 hours?
Okay.
No fists, please.
Look at me. Look at me!
Listen!
You got a cop injured
and a suspect killed.
But as a cop...
Your police got hurt seriously.
Many suspects died.
I'm in present of police.
This is Korea.
Goodbye, Japanese cops!
This is Korea.
We don't need Japanese cops.
He's Lt. Kim.
Okay for another 72 hours.
You can stay for another 72 hours.
What for?
You saw the driver.
Identify him.
You saw the driver.
Identify him.
Please identify the driver.
Just a moment.
You can't...
The prosecution will need
that time to judge you.
We also need the time.
Judge me?
You killed a man.
My name is...
Yoon Kyong Hee.
I'm your interpreter.
Hello.
I'm Hayase Yutaro.
875...
876...
But in that case...
I only caught a glimpse of him.
How many in all?
About 60,000.
60,000!
Any news?
No.
The transmitters in the bags?
Are they working?
No reaction.
The other banks?
Check it.
That's cash rob.
Robbery cases in the last two months.
So many?
32 cases in 65 days.
The money stolen amounts
to 6,900,000,000 won.
The average is 216,000,000 won
equal to 21,600,000 yen.
An average 21,600,000 yen
in Japanese currency.
Am I wrong?
No. And they're still at large?
Too bad.
As you saw today,
they're organized.
They cover a big area.
Prevention?
We can't guard all cars carrying money.
They're expanding the area.
Some money cases had
transmitters, but...
None of them worked.
The area is too wide.
We got our first chance
of arrest today.
But...
This is the man he shot.
He had nothing to identify himself.
He was in late thirties
or early forties.
Listen!
He was Japanese.
He said the man was Japanese.
No!
I'm sure.
He spoke Japanese.
I'm sure.
He spoke Japanese.
Send the photo to Japan.
Check with Immigration.
Check with Immigration.
Mind your own business.
Mind your own business.
Tokyo Police Headquarters
ordered me to help you.
Tokyo Police Headquarters
ordered me to help you.
We'll give you orders.
You're in Korea.
Hello again.
You're taking too much time
to nab the robbers.
So, we came to help you.
Who is he?
Chief Choi, Korean intelligence.
KCIA?
Let's use the meeting room.
What for?
No information for me?
Not again!
We can't work.
It came.
Trace it!
Hacker?
He hacks the main
computer every day.
What message?
We'll stop the Asian Summit meeting.
What?
That is MINZOGU UISEBYOKU.
It's the name of an antagonistic group.
Antagonists?
Called "Dawn of Nation".
"Dawn of Nation."
Only three days to the meeting.
Isn't it deviltry?
A week ago, ten kilos of C4 were
stolen from an army base.
C4?
Plastic explosives.
Twenty times more powerful
than the ordinary TNT.
Two kilos of it...
They can blast this
building sky high.
The Asian Summit meeting will be
held in three days here at Kuachon.
Its preparations are
under strict vigilance.
The subjects of discussion are
economics and diplomacy
for the future.
Prior to it,
Japanese Foreign Minister Ozeki will
attend the opening reception
of the Korea-Japan
Union Bank,
which emerged as one of the
biggest banks in Asia,
after ten years of mutual
cooperation.
That is the biggest bank
co-operated by the countries.
For the safety of
the Asian Summit,
40,000 guards will
be mobilized.
I'm hungry.
Where's the dormitory?
You don't understand.
We'll pay you a lot,
though your noodle
stand is worthless.
This is our stand.
Why drive us out?
Shut up, kid!
Don't meddle in adult business!
Stop it!
Police! Over here!
Police!
Damn it! Let's go!
You all right?
Sure.
You're wounded.
It's not important.
You're a daredevil.
Sorry.
Japanese?
Detective Ko!
Good Japanese.
People my age speak
Japanese petty well.
You're not a tourist?
Not seem to be a tourist.
Can you study here?
Homework.
If I skip it,
my teacher will beat me.
Use no fists!
You're wrong.
The area of a trapezoid is equal
to the sum of both bases times...
You try to do that...
Like this?
You're not bright.
The Korea-Japan Union Bank.
A joint operation by Korea
and Japan.
It'll open in four days.
They don't want a noodle
stand like mine near them.
So, they want us to get
out of here.
They work for the bank?
I'm not sure about that.
"Kite attacks put us in danger."
"Will it open on schedule? Reply."
I'm late!
What?
What's it?
Be punctual!
Be punctual.
The stolen car was found.
Take me with you!
Stop it!
That's not your job.
What are you doing?
- Quick!
- Sir!
Identify the criminal.
Identify the criminal.
Did you see the car yesterday?
Maybe it can help us.
The car might help me recall a clue.
That's our job.
That's our job.
But...
Obey my orders!
Please obey the orders!
Being in the service makes the man.
Tell him.
We all learn it in the service.
Not again!
Not fists!
What did I do?
Forget it.
This is Korea.
- Courtesy.
- What?
It's courtesy.
Young men mustn't smoke
in the presence of elders.
Nowadays young people
smoke in the presence of anybody.
But...
Shit...
Don't worry.
I'm three months younger.
Another armored car was robbed.
What's this?
Robbery.
Regent.
One after another!
When will the cops investigate?
Mr. Hayase!
- Go.
- Yes.
Shit!
Please don't ask for trouble.
Our Korea-Japan Union Bank
has a new system.
Its business and management are
controlled entirely by computers.
Especially, its security system.
With adequate safeguard equipment,
the whole building can
be called a fortress.
We have enough power to...
I used to work at
the Seoul Central Bank Tokyo.
I'm Kang Yong Soo.
I remember you.
You were known as an expert trader.
Thank you.
You're director in charge
of exchange?
Yes. I didn't expect the proposition.
Wait, Mr. Hayase!
Don't snoop around.
How much money?
150,000,000 won.
I don't get it.
Why not?
Because it's only 15 million yen.
Why take so many risks?
They should've gone for bigger game.
Shall I tell Lt. Kim?
No.
It's my personal impression.
Carrying a small sum doesn't
need a heavy guard.
That's why.
Mr. Hayase!
Wait!
You all right?
I told you! No fists!
No guns without authorization!
You aren't authorized to use a gun.
You let the suspect get away?
Obey my orders!
Orders again? I can't wait...
I told you! No fists!
Get a doctor.
Report from Japan about the thief.
Takaaki Kato.
He was a left-winger in Japan.
Then, he joined the East
Asia Liberation Army.
East Asia Liberation?
No!
This photo was taken in China.
Dawn of Nation and East
Asia Liberation agreed
to join forces.
Wait.
The same group stole money and
warned us to stop the Summit?
Is that so?
Did they steal C4, too?
That Japanese cop proved useful.
I'll buy you lunch.
Please let me.
Thank you.
Okay!
Please.
Courtesy.
Courtesy?
But in Lt. Kim's case,
he hates Japanese, that's all.
I don't think so.
But...
It was three years ago.
He went to Japan on a joint
investigation mission.
I went with him as interpreter.
He used to smile at me those days.
Did he ever smile?
After simulating the
robberies so far,
it's 70% certain that
the next attempt
will be taken kilos
from Central Seoul.
Therefore,
Mapo,
Kui,
Kupabal, Whakok,
and Mia...
We'll watch these five areas.
Within two kilos of the
conference hall,
2,000 guards will be mobilized.
Are the Seoul under
his command?
Chief Choi
used to work under
Lt. Kim at Headquarters?
Kim at Headquarters?
He was considered a future
commissioner.
But last year, he was discharged,
and came here.
Why?
Let's call it a day.
Okay.
Let's take three hours' rest.
- Is he out today?
- Min Chol?
He's been playing around there.
He's my niece's son.
His parents died in
traffic accident.
So, I'm taking care of him.
He's the only heir to our Lee Family.
Only heir?
What is it?
Me, too.
My father and brother are dead.
They were cops.
So, you'll keep the lineage
of your family name.
My family name?
Hit.
Good job.
I was a basketball player at school.
Good...
Fake.
Fake?
You thought I'd go right?
Don't believe me.
Don't learn "fake" at your age.
Play fair.
Come on.
Damn brat!
Hey, come on...
I won!
Like a kid.
Remember this.
We're equal in game.
Try.
Good!
So cool!
Koreans have a better
chance to join NBA.
No, nationality makes
no difference.
Japanese or Korean,
it doesn't matter.
What matters is that you're you.
People consider Japan and
Korea as opponents.
But they should be proud
of each other's country,
and respect each other.
To make the future of...
Shut up!
Oh, no!
Watch out!
That's dangerous!
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
Japanese?
I used to live in Japan.
I'm really sorry.
If you need anything,
contact me any time.
Korea-Japan Union Bank
Kang Eyong Soou
Excuse me.
Be careful.
The Korea-Japan Union Bank.
500 million dollars?
In Japanese currency, 50 billion yen.
They need an enormous amount of
money for the opening of a bank.
500 million dollars!
Stupid thieves!
It's 500 billion won...
...in Korean currency.
There's a mountain of cash...
...moving in front of their eyes.
The delivery of 500 million
dollars is strictly guarded.
They should attack less-guarded cars.
That sounds logical.
We've wasted out time.
What?
Where?
- He's missing.
- Who?
The Japanese minister.
SWAT, dismissed! Go back!
Emergency! Hurry!
Hurry!
Pull back!
What happened?
The Japanese minister is gone!
What's up?
The Japanese minister is gone!
What?
Understood.
National Information Ministry
At present, the incident is top secret.
"Minister Ozeki is sick."
"He canceled his entire schedule today."
So we announced.
Our President told the
Japanese Prime Minister.
If the truth is exposed,
we'll lose the world's trust.
The Korean Police
will do their best of find him,
by the opening of the Summit
tomorrow at 19:00.
We'll return him safely.
Thirty hours go.
Minister Ozeki left his hotel at 8:30.
He was hoping to observe the new
electric machinery at Yongin.
He was at Seocho-Pangyo Junction
when he was kidnapped.
So, he's their target.
Without the presence of
the Japanese minister,
the meeting will be canceled.
We only watched the delivery
of 500 million dollars.
The blockade?
The area around Kongin Expressway.
No eyewitness?
We can't publicize it,
so we get little information.
The kidnappers know.
They'll make an announcement.
It'll give us a clue.
We must wait
I'll give...
...orders!
Mapo Bridge.
No suspicious car.
Thanks.
Thanks for the cooperation.
Chief Choi!
Prepare 5 billion won,
random numbers.
Wait for instructions.
"Dawn of Nation".
- Report!
- Immediately!
5 billion...
Very modest.
5 billion won.
That's a half-billion yen.
In the 1974 Dacca Incident,
the Japan Red Army wanted...
1.6 billion yen.
In North Ireland in 1985,
IRA demanded 3 million pounds.
7 billion yen.
Why a half-billion yen
ransom for a minister?
They already robbed 0.6 billion yen.
How will they deliver so many bills?
We got it! We tapped the wireless!
- Wireless?
- Where?
Kangwha Island west of Seoul.
Let's go!
SWAT, too!
Action!
Why at this time?
Be bulletproof!
The criminals are armed.
Let's go!
You can't go!
In this confusion, no one knows.
We checked with infrared rays.
The Japanese minister is there.
20 seconds.
If longer, the hostage will be killed.
Wait.
Strange. Something is wrong.
Understood.
Proceed.
Police!
CID!
Come in!
Let's go! Go in!
Die!
Detective Ko!
Want to die?
Obey me!
You let your man die.
You couldn't save yourself.
Can you save the people of Seoul?
Lt. Kim will have no guns.
Run!
Escape!
Interpret! Hurry!
Run!
A bomb!
Run!
Quick!
The bomb was the stolen C4.
The wireless was...
...a trick to lure us.
The target was not only us.
They got rid of their tails.
The boss is somewhere else?
With the hostage.
June 24, 1998.
Since that day,
Lt. Kim has never smiled.
It was an accident.
He shot one of his men by mistake
while investigating a case in Tokyo.
What's Min Chol doing?
Speak Japanese.
He'll have a basketball
game tomorrow.
He already went to bed.
I'm not convinced about this case.
Something is wrong.
I'm on duty.
Your job is over.
Tomorrow...
Return to Japan.
Your job is over.
Tomorrow, return to Japan.
I still have permission to stay
for another thirteen hours.
You may go.
I must stay.
Because I'm a cop.
Your heart may get hurt.
But...
What would the man you shot in Tokyo
think, if he saw you now?
He must have been proud
to work with you.
No.
For his sake and for you own,
be like what you asked to be.
No fists.
I'll be going.
Pocket it.
You're in Korea.
If with elders, let them pay.
Courtesy?
Thanks.
I worked with his brother...
When I went to Japan.
In the police, in any country,
good guys die young.
08:00 A.M.
11 hours to the Asian Summit
It flashed in my mind.
If they want to stop the meeting
they won't care for a ransom.
They need money to make action.
"Two birds?"
Not yet?
Ten hours to go.
Why are they silent?
Permission for you stay is now over.
72 hours have passed.
What?
Well...
"Exchange five billion won
for yen in three hours."
For yen?
- Do it!
- Yes.
No way! Half a billion yen!
And billed with random numbers!
We can't get them in Korea.
Ask the Japan Bank!
No time.
Even if using an army aircraft,
three hours isn't enough.
Tell that to the gang.
The Summit will open at seven.
The minister must be freed
an hour earlier.
But why do they want that?
Well?
I understand.
There's a place in this country
where 500 million yen cash is stored.
2:00 P.M.
5 hours to the Asian Summit
Impossible!
What?
The underground safe will
open for only an hour
at 9:00 A.M. when foreign
money is delivered.
Locked now?
The security system by computer
worked till tomorrow.
Nothing else can open it,
not even a nuclear bomb.
What security is good when
we can't even open a safe?
Excuse me.
Our bank wasn't built
to prepare a ransom.
We need it by four o'clock!
If we shut off the main computer
that controls everything...
Will it open?
Yes, but...
Once we do, we'd have
to change all the passwords.
It takes two days to restart it.
The bank couldn't open tomorrow.
That's ridiculous!
This is a national crisis.
It's a presidential order.
"Main computer cut off?"
- Open it!
- Yes, sir.
Look!
"Have two women bring money to
Seoul Race Track by 5:00 PM."
"Wait at Area 7, first floor."
"Light of the race"
Race track?
Kuachon?
Just before the main race.
It takes an hour to get there.
They'll take more hostages.
They still have C4.
If they set a bomb,
100,000 fans in custody!
Warn them!
Get the bomb unit ready!
Station guards!
Who guards the hall?
No one!
Damn them!
What do they want? The ransom?
To stop the Summit?
Or...
Check the transmitters.
Kim.
No job for you.
4:00 P.M.
3 hours to the Asian Summit
It'll open in
two hours and a half.
Only 500 million yen
for this big project?
Weights 50 kilos.
The limit of weight for
two women to carry.
Even if they get the money,
how can they escape?
There's a special race today.
The stadium is packed.
What if they set C4 in the stands?
Be ready!
Find bombs or suspects!
No suspects.
It's about time.
You're free to break rules in town now.
There are no cops.
5:00 P.M.
2 hours to the Asian Summit
Chief!
"Put the money cases in
the trash box at Gate 7."
Check the trash box!
Here it is!
What is?
A bomb!
Leave it!
Have the bomb unit find
if it's a time bomb.
How is it?
We'll be able to open tomorrow.
Really?
Cash robbery.
Notification.
Abduction.
A ransom demand.
Exchanged into yen.
Delivery.
The one thing I don't understand
is the exchange to yen.
Why must they do it?
It's a matter of power as currency.
Or weight of bills.
If yen, it's a tenth.
Weight?
Dollars are better.
Get a tester.
Evacuate the stands?
Wait.
What type of bomb?
I'm Director Kang.
No cash coming in today.
It's going out.
Race tract.
Yes.
You sure?
All right.
The minister's back safely.
What?
What'll we do?
Damn it! What does it mean?
Tim bomb?
Strange.
Except for explosives,
the bomb is a fake.
What?
I see.
The bomb's fake.
The minister's safe.
The minister's safe.
The bomb's fake.
Fake?
What do they want?
The hostage returned safely?
It's a fake.
Don't believe in appearance!
Fake!
Fake!
If the hostage wasn't their target...
What is?
Robbery, abduction, ransom, C4...
They did it to divert our attention.
Why the exchange to yen?
They did it for something else...
They did it for something else...
A fake...
Lieutenant!
Mr. Hayase!
Wait!
Their target is the bank!
What?
Send the SWAT!
They don't care about the Summit.
They just want us away.
So, the minister had to be released
to attend the meeting.
So, they don't want 500 million yen.
They want 500 million dollars.
That one!
No delivery today!
One tail.
Kill them.
You okay?
They're heading for Inchon.
Inchon?
Airport?
A chopper!
A chopper?
Getting away with it?
It can land on tanker.
Win next time!
Let's encourage ourselves.
Good.
1,2,3! Fight!
Oh, no!
Open the door!
Freeze!
Get out of there!
Min Chol!
Stay low!
Attack!
Don't get your head out there!
Be ready!
What?
No! Kids are there!
Tear gas!
Stop it!
Stay back!
We can save half the hostages!
Half?!
Ready!
No!
If we let them go with the money,
we'll be laughed at.
Sacrifice is necessary for the
dignity of the Korean police.
I don't understand.
But...
The point is...
What's most important?
Human lives!
Fire!
Stop it!
Don't fire!
I give orders!
Your order, sir?
Rescue the kids!
Yes, sir!
Hold your fire.
Hayase!
You all right?
Lt. Kim!
Don't give up!
Go!
Hurry!
Stay low!
Min Chol!
- Buddy!
- Min Chol!
Get out of the bus!
Get out!
Min Chol!
- Min Chol!
- Min Chol!
Min Chol!
What is it?
You're overstaying your welcome.
It's enough.
You must go home.
I understand.
Dammit! I'm late!
Get in.
The details of the incident
is unknown.
The main suspect Kang Yong Soo
was shot in the site.
When he was a trader
at the Tokyo office
he made an enormous loss.
Kang Yong Soo.
That man.
He lost 300 million dollars
in his business for ten years.
He kept it a secret.
Let's part here.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
You still got time?
I couldn't make it.
No more flights to Tokyo.
What?
Wait a minute...
The vegetables will fell out!
Wait! Be careful.
Did I do something wrong?
Wait a minute...
Stay away!
Hold it!
I must find a place
to stay tonight.
No more flights to Tokyo.
Don't! I can walk on my own.
Be punctual!
I told you you're overstaying.
I heard you, but no flights...
Go home!
We, Koreans, shall...
never fail to
reciprocate our neighbor's kindness.
Japanese!
You cheat!
You're exactly like
your brother.
Get lost, kid!
Don't come back!
Thanks.
Understood.
I follow your orders.
Thank you.
Salute Detective Hayase Yutaro!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No meal in the plane?
Economy class, huh?
A souvenir.
Pickles.
How can I get in?
SEOUL
Passengers on Korean Airline
Flight 703 for Narita Tokyo.
Please hurry to Gate 28.
I'm late for my plane.
Watch out!
Open the door!
Waste him!
Get away!
Jump!
Damn you!
Japanese?
Shit!
Why are you here?
You must tell me the reason.
Tell me why you did that?
Too bad! I missed my plane.
Detective Park.
"POLICE AGENCY"
Name's Hayase Yutaro.
He says he brought a convict
from Japan yesterday.
He says he's a detective.
Yes.
Correct?
I see.
I told you, didn't I?
72 hours?
Okay.
No fists, please.
Look at me. Look at me!
Listen!
You got a cop injured
and a suspect killed.
But as a cop...
Your police got hurt seriously.
Many suspects died.
I'm in present of police.
This is Korea.
Goodbye, Japanese cops!
This is Korea.
We don't need Japanese cops.
He's Lt. Kim.
Okay for another 72 hours.
You can stay for another 72 hours.
What for?
You saw the driver.
Identify him.
You saw the driver.
Identify him.
Please identify the driver.
Just a moment.
You can't...
The prosecution will need
that time to judge you.
We also need the time.
Judge me?
You killed a man.
My name is...
Yoon Kyong Hee.
I'm your interpreter.
Hello.
I'm Hayase Yutaro.
875...
876...
But in that case...
I only caught a glimpse of him.
How many in all?
About 60,000.
60,000!
Any news?
No.
The transmitters in the bags?
Are they working?
No reaction.
The other banks?
Check it.
That's cash rob.
Robbery cases in the last two months.
So many?
32 cases in 65 days.
The money stolen amounts
to 6,900,000,000 won.
The average is 216,000,000 won
equal to 21,600,000 yen.
An average 21,600,000 yen
in Japanese currency.
Am I wrong?
No. And they're still at large?
Too bad.
As you saw today,
they're organized.
They cover a big area.
Prevention?
We can't guard all cars carrying money.
They're expanding the area.
Some money cases had
transmitters, but...
None of them worked.
The area is too wide.
We got our first chance
of arrest today.
But...
This is the man he shot.
He had nothing to identify himself.
He was in late thirties
or early forties.
Listen!
He was Japanese.
He said the man was Japanese.
No!
I'm sure.
He spoke Japanese.
I'm sure.
He spoke Japanese.
Send the photo to Japan.
Check with Immigration.
Check with Immigration.
Mind your own business.
Mind your own business.
Tokyo Police Headquarters
ordered me to help you.
Tokyo Police Headquarters
ordered me to help you.
We'll give you orders.
You're in Korea.
Hello again.
You're taking too much time
to nab the robbers.
So, we came to help you.
Who is he?
Chief Choi, Korean intelligence.
KCIA?
Let's use the meeting room.
What for?
No information for me?
Not again!
We can't work.
It came.
Trace it!
Hacker?
He hacks the main
computer every day.
What message?
We'll stop the Asian Summit meeting.
What?
That is MINZOGU UISEBYOKU.
It's the name of an antagonistic group.
Antagonists?
Called "Dawn of Nation".
"Dawn of Nation."
Only three days to the meeting.
Isn't it deviltry?
A week ago, ten kilos of C4 were
stolen from an army base.
C4?
Plastic explosives.
Twenty times more powerful
than the ordinary TNT.
Two kilos of it...
They can blast this
building sky high.
The Asian Summit meeting will be
held in three days here at Kuachon.
Its preparations are
under strict vigilance.
The subjects of discussion are
economics and diplomacy
for the future.
Prior to it,
Japanese Foreign Minister Ozeki will
attend the opening reception
of the Korea-Japan
Union Bank,
which emerged as one of the
biggest banks in Asia,
after ten years of mutual
cooperation.
That is the biggest bank
co-operated by the countries.
For the safety of
the Asian Summit,
40,000 guards will
be mobilized.
I'm hungry.
Where's the dormitory?
You don't understand.
We'll pay you a lot,
though your noodle
stand is worthless.
This is our stand.
Why drive us out?
Shut up, kid!
Don't meddle in adult business!
Stop it!
Police! Over here!
Police!
Damn it! Let's go!
You all right?
Sure.
You're wounded.
It's not important.
You're a daredevil.
Sorry.
Japanese?
Detective Ko!
Good Japanese.
People my age speak
Japanese petty well.
You're not a tourist?
Not seem to be a tourist.
Can you study here?
Homework.
If I skip it,
my teacher will beat me.
Use no fists!
You're wrong.
The area of a trapezoid is equal
to the sum of both bases times...
You try to do that...
Like this?
You're not bright.
The Korea-Japan Union Bank.
A joint operation by Korea
and Japan.
It'll open in four days.
They don't want a noodle
stand like mine near them.
So, they want us to get
out of here.
They work for the bank?
I'm not sure about that.
"Kite attacks put us in danger."
"Will it open on schedule? Reply."
I'm late!
What?
What's it?
Be punctual!
Be punctual.
The stolen car was found.
Take me with you!
Stop it!
That's not your job.
What are you doing?
- Quick!
- Sir!
Identify the criminal.
Identify the criminal.
Did you see the car yesterday?
Maybe it can help us.
The car might help me recall a clue.
That's our job.
That's our job.
But...
Obey my orders!
Please obey the orders!
Being in the service makes the man.
Tell him.
We all learn it in the service.
Not again!
Not fists!
What did I do?
Forget it.
This is Korea.
- Courtesy.
- What?
It's courtesy.
Young men mustn't smoke
in the presence of elders.
Nowadays young people
smoke in the presence of anybody.
But...
Shit...
Don't worry.
I'm three months younger.
Another armored car was robbed.
What's this?
Robbery.
Regent.
One after another!
When will the cops investigate?
Mr. Hayase!
- Go.
- Yes.
Shit!
Please don't ask for trouble.
Our Korea-Japan Union Bank
has a new system.
Its business and management are
controlled entirely by computers.
Especially, its security system.
With adequate safeguard equipment,
the whole building can
be called a fortress.
We have enough power to...
I used to work at
the Seoul Central Bank Tokyo.
I'm Kang Yong Soo.
I remember you.
You were known as an expert trader.
Thank you.
You're director in charge
of exchange?
Yes. I didn't expect the proposition.
Wait, Mr. Hayase!
Don't snoop around.
How much money?
150,000,000 won.
I don't get it.
Why not?
Because it's only 15 million yen.
Why take so many risks?
They should've gone for bigger game.
Shall I tell Lt. Kim?
No.
It's my personal impression.
Carrying a small sum doesn't
need a heavy guard.
That's why.
Mr. Hayase!
Wait!
You all right?
I told you! No fists!
No guns without authorization!
You aren't authorized to use a gun.
You let the suspect get away?
Obey my orders!
Orders again? I can't wait...
I told you! No fists!
Get a doctor.
Report from Japan about the thief.
Takaaki Kato.
He was a left-winger in Japan.
Then, he joined the East
Asia Liberation Army.
East Asia Liberation?
No!
This photo was taken in China.
Dawn of Nation and East
Asia Liberation agreed
to join forces.
Wait.
The same group stole money and
warned us to stop the Summit?
Is that so?
Did they steal C4, too?
That Japanese cop proved useful.
I'll buy you lunch.
Please let me.
Thank you.
Okay!
Please.
Courtesy.
Courtesy?
But in Lt. Kim's case,
he hates Japanese, that's all.
I don't think so.
But...
It was three years ago.
He went to Japan on a joint
investigation mission.
I went with him as interpreter.
He used to smile at me those days.
Did he ever smile?
After simulating the
robberies so far,
it's 70% certain that
the next attempt
will be taken kilos
from Central Seoul.
Therefore,
Mapo,
Kui,
Kupabal, Whakok,
and Mia...
We'll watch these five areas.
Within two kilos of the
conference hall,
2,000 guards will be mobilized.
Are the Seoul under
his command?
Chief Choi
used to work under
Lt. Kim at Headquarters?
Kim at Headquarters?
He was considered a future
commissioner.
But last year, he was discharged,
and came here.
Why?
Let's call it a day.
Okay.
Let's take three hours' rest.
- Is he out today?
- Min Chol?
He's been playing around there.
He's my niece's son.
His parents died in
traffic accident.
So, I'm taking care of him.
He's the only heir to our Lee Family.
Only heir?
What is it?
Me, too.
My father and brother are dead.
They were cops.
So, you'll keep the lineage
of your family name.
My family name?
Hit.
Good job.
I was a basketball player at school.
Good...
Fake.
Fake?
You thought I'd go right?
Don't believe me.
Don't learn "fake" at your age.
Play fair.
Come on.
Damn brat!
Hey, come on...
I won!
Like a kid.
Remember this.
We're equal in game.
Try.
Good!
So cool!
Koreans have a better
chance to join NBA.
No, nationality makes
no difference.
Japanese or Korean,
it doesn't matter.
What matters is that you're you.
People consider Japan and
Korea as opponents.
But they should be proud
of each other's country,
and respect each other.
To make the future of...
Shut up!
Oh, no!
Watch out!
That's dangerous!
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
Japanese?
I used to live in Japan.
I'm really sorry.
If you need anything,
contact me any time.
Korea-Japan Union Bank
Kang Eyong Soou
Excuse me.
Be careful.
The Korea-Japan Union Bank.
500 million dollars?
In Japanese currency, 50 billion yen.
They need an enormous amount of
money for the opening of a bank.
500 million dollars!
Stupid thieves!
It's 500 billion won...
...in Korean currency.
There's a mountain of cash...
...moving in front of their eyes.
The delivery of 500 million
dollars is strictly guarded.
They should attack less-guarded cars.
That sounds logical.
We've wasted out time.
What?
Where?
- He's missing.
- Who?
The Japanese minister.
SWAT, dismissed! Go back!
Emergency! Hurry!
Hurry!
Pull back!
What happened?
The Japanese minister is gone!
What's up?
The Japanese minister is gone!
What?
Understood.
National Information Ministry
At present, the incident is top secret.
"Minister Ozeki is sick."
"He canceled his entire schedule today."
So we announced.
Our President told the
Japanese Prime Minister.
If the truth is exposed,
we'll lose the world's trust.
The Korean Police
will do their best of find him,
by the opening of the Summit
tomorrow at 19:00.
We'll return him safely.
Thirty hours go.
Minister Ozeki left his hotel at 8:30.
He was hoping to observe the new
electric machinery at Yongin.
He was at Seocho-Pangyo Junction
when he was kidnapped.
So, he's their target.
Without the presence of
the Japanese minister,
the meeting will be canceled.
We only watched the delivery
of 500 million dollars.
The blockade?
The area around Kongin Expressway.
No eyewitness?
We can't publicize it,
so we get little information.
The kidnappers know.
They'll make an announcement.
It'll give us a clue.
We must wait
I'll give...
...orders!
Mapo Bridge.
No suspicious car.
Thanks.
Thanks for the cooperation.
Chief Choi!
Prepare 5 billion won,
random numbers.
Wait for instructions.
"Dawn of Nation".
- Report!
- Immediately!
5 billion...
Very modest.
5 billion won.
That's a half-billion yen.
In the 1974 Dacca Incident,
the Japan Red Army wanted...
1.6 billion yen.
In North Ireland in 1985,
IRA demanded 3 million pounds.
7 billion yen.
Why a half-billion yen
ransom for a minister?
They already robbed 0.6 billion yen.
How will they deliver so many bills?
We got it! We tapped the wireless!
- Wireless?
- Where?
Kangwha Island west of Seoul.
Let's go!
SWAT, too!
Action!
Why at this time?
Be bulletproof!
The criminals are armed.
Let's go!
You can't go!
In this confusion, no one knows.
We checked with infrared rays.
The Japanese minister is there.
20 seconds.
If longer, the hostage will be killed.
Wait.
Strange. Something is wrong.
Understood.
Proceed.
Police!
CID!
Come in!
Let's go! Go in!
Die!
Detective Ko!
Want to die?
Obey me!
You let your man die.
You couldn't save yourself.
Can you save the people of Seoul?
Lt. Kim will have no guns.
Run!
Escape!
Interpret! Hurry!
Run!
A bomb!
Run!
Quick!
The bomb was the stolen C4.
The wireless was...
...a trick to lure us.
The target was not only us.
They got rid of their tails.
The boss is somewhere else?
With the hostage.
June 24, 1998.
Since that day,
Lt. Kim has never smiled.
It was an accident.
He shot one of his men by mistake
while investigating a case in Tokyo.
What's Min Chol doing?
Speak Japanese.
He'll have a basketball
game tomorrow.
He already went to bed.
I'm not convinced about this case.
Something is wrong.
I'm on duty.
Your job is over.
Tomorrow...
Return to Japan.
Your job is over.
Tomorrow, return to Japan.
I still have permission to stay
for another thirteen hours.
You may go.
I must stay.
Because I'm a cop.
Your heart may get hurt.
But...
What would the man you shot in Tokyo
think, if he saw you now?
He must have been proud
to work with you.
No.
For his sake and for you own,
be like what you asked to be.
No fists.
I'll be going.
Pocket it.
You're in Korea.
If with elders, let them pay.
Courtesy?
Thanks.
I worked with his brother...
When I went to Japan.
In the police, in any country,
good guys die young.
08:00 A.M.
11 hours to the Asian Summit
It flashed in my mind.
If they want to stop the meeting
they won't care for a ransom.
They need money to make action.
"Two birds?"
Not yet?
Ten hours to go.
Why are they silent?
Permission for you stay is now over.
72 hours have passed.
What?
Well...
"Exchange five billion won
for yen in three hours."
For yen?
- Do it!
- Yes.
No way! Half a billion yen!
And billed with random numbers!
We can't get them in Korea.
Ask the Japan Bank!
No time.
Even if using an army aircraft,
three hours isn't enough.
Tell that to the gang.
The Summit will open at seven.
The minister must be freed
an hour earlier.
But why do they want that?
Well?
I understand.
There's a place in this country
where 500 million yen cash is stored.
2:00 P.M.
5 hours to the Asian Summit
Impossible!
What?
The underground safe will
open for only an hour
at 9:00 A.M. when foreign
money is delivered.
Locked now?
The security system by computer
worked till tomorrow.
Nothing else can open it,
not even a nuclear bomb.
What security is good when
we can't even open a safe?
Excuse me.
Our bank wasn't built
to prepare a ransom.
We need it by four o'clock!
If we shut off the main computer
that controls everything...
Will it open?
Yes, but...
Once we do, we'd have
to change all the passwords.
It takes two days to restart it.
The bank couldn't open tomorrow.
That's ridiculous!
This is a national crisis.
It's a presidential order.
"Main computer cut off?"
- Open it!
- Yes, sir.
Look!
"Have two women bring money to
Seoul Race Track by 5:00 PM."
"Wait at Area 7, first floor."
"Light of the race"
Race track?
Kuachon?
Just before the main race.
It takes an hour to get there.
They'll take more hostages.
They still have C4.
If they set a bomb,
100,000 fans in custody!
Warn them!
Get the bomb unit ready!
Station guards!
Who guards the hall?
No one!
Damn them!
What do they want? The ransom?
To stop the Summit?
Or...
Check the transmitters.
Kim.
No job for you.
4:00 P.M.
3 hours to the Asian Summit
It'll open in
two hours and a half.
Only 500 million yen
for this big project?
Weights 50 kilos.
The limit of weight for
two women to carry.
Even if they get the money,
how can they escape?
There's a special race today.
The stadium is packed.
What if they set C4 in the stands?
Be ready!
Find bombs or suspects!
No suspects.
It's about time.
You're free to break rules in town now.
There are no cops.
5:00 P.M.
2 hours to the Asian Summit
Chief!
"Put the money cases in
the trash box at Gate 7."
Check the trash box!
Here it is!
What is?
A bomb!
Leave it!
Have the bomb unit find
if it's a time bomb.
How is it?
We'll be able to open tomorrow.
Really?
Cash robbery.
Notification.
Abduction.
A ransom demand.
Exchanged into yen.
Delivery.
The one thing I don't understand
is the exchange to yen.
Why must they do it?
It's a matter of power as currency.
Or weight of bills.
If yen, it's a tenth.
Weight?
Dollars are better.
Get a tester.
Evacuate the stands?
Wait.
What type of bomb?
I'm Director Kang.
No cash coming in today.
It's going out.
Race tract.
Yes.
You sure?
All right.
The minister's back safely.
What?
What'll we do?
Damn it! What does it mean?
Tim bomb?
Strange.
Except for explosives,
the bomb is a fake.
What?
I see.
The bomb's fake.
The minister's safe.
The minister's safe.
The bomb's fake.
Fake?
What do they want?
The hostage returned safely?
It's a fake.
Don't believe in appearance!
Fake!
Fake!
If the hostage wasn't their target...
What is?
Robbery, abduction, ransom, C4...
They did it to divert our attention.
Why the exchange to yen?
They did it for something else...
They did it for something else...
A fake...
Lieutenant!
Mr. Hayase!
Wait!
Their target is the bank!
What?
Send the SWAT!
They don't care about the Summit.
They just want us away.
So, the minister had to be released
to attend the meeting.
So, they don't want 500 million yen.
They want 500 million dollars.
That one!
No delivery today!
One tail.
Kill them.
You okay?
They're heading for Inchon.
Inchon?
Airport?
A chopper!
A chopper?
Getting away with it?
It can land on tanker.
Win next time!
Let's encourage ourselves.
Good.
1,2,3! Fight!
Oh, no!
Open the door!
Freeze!
Get out of there!
Min Chol!
Stay low!
Attack!
Don't get your head out there!
Be ready!
What?
No! Kids are there!
Tear gas!
Stop it!
Stay back!
We can save half the hostages!
Half?!
Ready!
No!
If we let them go with the money,
we'll be laughed at.
Sacrifice is necessary for the
dignity of the Korean police.
I don't understand.
But...
The point is...
What's most important?
Human lives!
Fire!
Stop it!
Don't fire!
I give orders!
Your order, sir?
Rescue the kids!
Yes, sir!
Hold your fire.
Hayase!
You all right?
Lt. Kim!
Don't give up!
Go!
Hurry!
Stay low!
Min Chol!
- Buddy!
- Min Chol!
Get out of the bus!
Get out!
Min Chol!
- Min Chol!
- Min Chol!
Min Chol!
What is it?
You're overstaying your welcome.
It's enough.
You must go home.
I understand.
Dammit! I'm late!
Get in.
The details of the incident
is unknown.
The main suspect Kang Yong Soo
was shot in the site.
When he was a trader
at the Tokyo office
he made an enormous loss.
Kang Yong Soo.
That man.
He lost 300 million dollars
in his business for ten years.
He kept it a secret.
Let's part here.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
You still got time?
I couldn't make it.
No more flights to Tokyo.
What?
Wait a minute...
The vegetables will fell out!
Wait! Be careful.
Did I do something wrong?
Wait a minute...
Stay away!
Hold it!
I must find a place
to stay tonight.
No more flights to Tokyo.
Don't! I can walk on my own.
Be punctual!
I told you you're overstaying.
I heard you, but no flights...
Go home!
We, Koreans, shall...
never fail to
reciprocate our neighbor's kindness.
Japanese!
You cheat!
You're exactly like
your brother.
Get lost, kid!
Don't come back!
Thanks.
Understood.
I follow your orders.
Thank you.
Salute Detective Hayase Yutaro!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No meal in the plane?
Economy class, huh?
A souvenir.
Pickles.
How can I get in?
