Yadang: The Snitch (2025) Movie Script
1
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS FILM ARE FICTIONAL.
These junkies are such a pain!
Inspector Cha, arrest him!
Hey, asshole! Sit still.
I'm so thirsty!
Give me something to drink!
So damn loud.
- Can't even spare a sip of water? Cheap bastard!
- Careful, you'll fall!
Which junkie's asking for me?
Oh Jae-chul,
son of Dongin Milling's CEO.
He's been screaming your name.
You're quite famous.
Congratulations.
Of course!
Even low-level lawyers
have to call me first.
He's got a criminal record.
Three similar cases
and one year probation.
Oh right, Kang-su was caught red-handed
holding product.
Take good care of him, okay?
"Take care"? That's not enough, bro.
If you wanna get rich, think bigger.
Stop counting pocket change.
The "flour" gods aren't smiling on you today.
Why only stash 500 grams?
Team Leader Kim!
How many years for 500 grams?
About 5 years.
My life's over...
Shut the hell up!
Get me out of here!
Whether you walk free or not...
depends on whether you and I
find this... "impressive".
Get promoted or make headlines!
I can fix everything!
Smart kid!
Three bosses 20 million each.
Plus per-kilo price!
How many kilos?
2 kilograms.
50 million per kilo.
Plus the three bosses...
Total 160 million won...
in Bitcoin.
Crystal clear, pal?
Payment in Bitcoin.
Whatever it is, don't complicate my life.
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
Busting a drug ring!
Enough evidence for 66,000 doses.
Our side gets in the papers.
Their side gets to go home and rest.
- Damn it...
- What the hell is this?
Hey, old man!
Back your car up!
I said BACK UP YOUR CAR!
Deaf? Move your damn car!
Wow, our Chang-rak's a big shot now.
I got you out of jail,
and you forget about me?
How ungrateful.
Heard you're doing well these days!
Bro, don't be like that.
How many kilos is this?
3 kilos?
Give me 2 kilos.
Don't joke! Losing two-thirds
could end my life.
When it comes to addicts' endurance,
Koreans last the longest.
Know why?
Cops are scared you'll die.
When you withdrawal, they toss you
in jail to detox.
Haven't detoxed in a while, have you?
Chang-rak...
stop cutting your product with rice powder.
Selling fake shit like this,
no wonder it doesn't last.
Fine. What do you want? Spit it out.
Give me three big names.
Not users.
Suppliers, distributors, couriers.
I trust you.
If you don't want me arresting you,
do it right.
Damn, that guy's never on time.
There, there he is! He's here!
Hey, check the goods.
All good?
Thanks, you too.
Perfect, 2 kilos exactly.
- Let's go.
- Yeah, let's go baby!
Shit, how do I reverse?
Sorry!
I'll get out and check the car.
Wait!
- What?
- Don't get out of the car!
What? Why? Why?
Everyone focus.
Something's wrong.
Roll your window down a sec?
Reverse! Back up the car!
Run, you idiot!
Stop!
Block him!
- Smash the window! Smash it! Open the door!
Open it!
- Break the glass!
Smash it! Open the door! Open!
- Run!
- Hurry!
Still won't open the door?
My job's done.
Give back my 2 kilos you seized,
right, bro?
Get out of the car now!
Sang-chul! He's coming your way, block him!
- Jin-woo!
- You bastard!
Jesus, what kind of cops are these?
Total amateurs.
Get out of the car now!
Fuck! Dog!
Block him! Quick!
Eat another one.
A minor issue like this
needs me to step in?!
Korea's drug world has three types:
Dealers, cops,
and types like me insiders (Yadang).
I stand between addicts and police,
making sure both sides win.
These cases boost cops' achievements.
Addicts sign "Statements of Cooperation in Investigation."
Done.
Statement of Cooperation in Investigation.
This can reduce 10-year sentences to one-third.
Check it.
A deal that only exists
for drug crimes.
A system that reduces sentences for cooperation.
Cleans your record spotless.
Exactly 160 million.
Frankly, big drug cases every year
are all "well-oiled."
Don't forget full evidence photos.
Cash for goods. What's illegal? Damn!
Bigger media coverage makes cops happier.
Happier cops mean better cooperation statements.
Kang-soo, good work!
Ready!
Addicts, cops, and I have a symbiotic relationship.
Korea's drug world calls this:
YADANG: THE THREE-WAY BETRAYAL
How many springs have passed?
Twenty-eight, sir.
Ah, you're 28?
Good.
- Same age as you...
- Just shock me.
...live right, understand?
Yes, sir.
One wrong step,
you go from hero to inmate.
This is for you!
Bro, this is too much...
- Wait 30 minutes.
- Huh?
I'll visit "baby three" real quick.
Here!
Drink, drink!
Yeah, yeah.
So refreshing.
I'll be right back.
Damn...
You're under arrest for violating the Narcotics Control Act.
Gross...
So disgusting...
UIJEONGBU DETENTION CENTER
Don't step on the threshold.
Fart in the toilet.
Take off shoes before entering.
Shit...
Hey, take the newbie in.
Heavy? Let me carry it.
Thanks, bro...
Hey, you!
Sorry...
Damn bastard, broke two rules already!
Looking for trouble, huh?
Every year, 23,000 drug offenders enter prison in blue uniforms for detox.
- You're here!
- Welcome, boss!
Smurf festival today or what?
Hey, Smurf King. Here.
Sit.
Damn junkie.
Who said you could sit here?
Lifetime informant, nobody knows.
One positive test, whole country knows.
I'm only negative for good things. Not positive for drugs.
Here!
You here?
Hold this paper.
Before meeting me, Prosecutor Gu was unknown.
After 10 years in service,
he only got transferred to a northern prosecutors' office,
full of addicts.
2,500 prosecutors nationwide.
Only 1% get promoted.
Somehow, the other 99% quit within 10 years.
Successful people have their own path, so this Prosecutor Gu,
after slacking off,
wants to join that 1%.
Get the bug spray.
Catching addicts is like killing cockroaches.
Catch one, another appears.
To eradicate them, destroy their nest.
Ko Heung-sik... Cell 2, right?
This one's Cell 3.
This one...
Cell 4.
Right, Cell 2.
Lee Kang-su.
Look here.
Try parting your hair in the middle.
Doesn't look like a junkie.
Of course, sir.
You were framed, right?
Drank what they gave you, passed out.
- Cheap trick.
- Exactly!
Yes! Just as you said! So cheap!
He sensed danger, found a scapegoat.
That's how it happened, Prosecutor!
Good memory?
Huh?
Read what you remember.
Lee Doo-yong, 910304-1687954.
Lee Doo-yong, 910304-1687954.
Shin Ji-yeop, 870507-1498752.
Kim Sung-rim, 790912-1487416.
Jucheon-ro 9748-10, Chojon-myeon, Seongju-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
- Enough.
- Jo in hwi...
This guy's a born informant!
You share a cell with Ko Heung-sik, right?
I'm not good at this.
Do it often, you'll get good.
Be my eyes and ears. Find out everything about him.
Fill in all these blanks,
and I'll cut your sentence in half.
Really, sir?
Six.
Seven.
Hey, Smurf King!
Who said you could come close?
To get important info,
you need Ko Heung-sik's attention.
Do you understand human language?
Hey!
Boss!
Hey!
Hey!
Give it to him.
Eat.
Prosecutor...
Can you help me with something?
What?
Hey!
Bastard!
Pull him off!
Stuck like a leech!
Pull him!
Everyone quiet!
Hey, hey! What's this?
Hiding product?
You shrimp, daring to stash "MSG"!
Not me!
God, stop it, you'll break the chair.
Jesus.
Two new packs of "sugar" arrived.
Who'll go to Pyeongtaek and Incheon to pick up?
Myung-cheon handles Pyeongtaek "sugar".
For Incheon,
give it to Jung-yeop, make him taste the "sugar" first.
This is for you.
Yes, thank you.
You worked hard, well done!
Here.
Stay still if you don't want scars.
Turn around.
Done.
I'm Prosecutor Gu Gwan-hee, Uijeongbu Prosecutors' Office.
Gang members confessed to acting under orders from Ko Heung-sik,
Incheon drug lord, currently detained at Uijeongbu...
He's... talking nonsense?
Where's Lee Kang-su?
Everyone quiet!
Lee Kang-su!
TRANSFERRED TO GWANGJU DETENTION CENTER
GWANGJU PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
- Hello.
- Welcome, Prosecutor.
PROMOTED TO DEPUTY CHIEF PROSECUTOR
I'm in Bangkok, Thailand.
Here for training.
Meat?
What meat?
I didn't send meat.
Ah, that meat. I'll send more if available.
Gotta go.
Why'd you send... Thank you so much.
Farming's tough, need nutritious food.
Your mom doesn't know you're in jail?
She'd faint if she knew.
You're a filial son.
Ever seen a filial son in jail?
My mom raised me alone too.
Went to wholesale market at dawn to buy fish for resale.
Then washed dishes at eateries all day...
Just to feed me.
She always said: "Live so no one looks down on you."
"Whatever it takes, succeed, succeed, succeed."
Her words still echo in my ears.
Here's your glass.
Let me pour.
Drink.
It's fine, drink.
What're you waiting for? Drink, don't be shy.
I'll soon transfer to Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
You're moving to Seoul?
Calling it Seoul sounds fancy...
but still the outskirts East, West, South, North.
Maybe Eastern Seoul next, gotta aim for Supreme Prosecutors' Office...
After prison, what'll you do?
I...
I...
Don't know.
Branded an addict, might relapse after release.
This kid!
Kidding, kidding.
Hey, Kang-su.
How about becoming a professional informant?
No money worries.
And you'd help me too.
Why you laughing?
Nothing... Just weird hearing you call yourself "bro".
Then from now on, we're brothers forever.
Okay, bro.
I'll help however I can.
Not as addict and prosecutor,
but as... brothers.
Of course. We're brothers.
Bro! Let me pour for you!
But promise me.
Never touch "flour" again.
I'm serious.
One hit, your life's ruined.
Okay.
Raining again.
We there?
You're here!
They've been in the car over three hours.
Won't answer anything.
- Hey, get in!
- Yes!
Why stand outside in this rain?
- Hold this!
- Yes.
They're not responding!
Miss, open the door!
You have the right to an attorney and to remain silent!
No response? I'll use my own methods!
Do something, bro.
Bro, tow truck's here.
Help us!
Go!
Wait... No...
What now? What do we do?
Two lines.
I just...
took diet pills...
For a movie role.
Didn't know it was illegal...
Stale excuse.
I'm sick of hearing it.
Where'd you buy the diet pills?
Silence isn't golden. It's rude!
Wait, he looks familiar.
Got 2 years probation for drugs, just released.
- Ah, that...
- Name...
Yoo... what, Yoo...
Can't recall.
What's his name?
Yoo Min-gu...
Got it.
Yoo Ji-sung.
Yoo Ji-sung?
Son of Ilmoon Construction Group's CEO?
Ah, yes, yes!
You probably don't know me, huh?
I'm Oh Sang-jae, Head of Narcotics Team 2.
In the drug world, they call me Emperor Sang-jae.
Once in my hands, guilty or not, you go to jail.
Want to try?
One call, reporters swarm.
Want me escorting you down the red carpet?
- Remove the cuffs.
- Yes.
You must have your difficulties.
Torn between heart and logic.
But don't worry.
I arrest one person, they'll name you anyway.
"Movie Actress! Uhm Su-jin!"
Then you'll learn
what "angel face, wolf heart" means.
For someone like Miss Su-jin,
just confess honestly,
and you can go home.
I only want the supplier.
Catching 100 addicts is useless 100 more appear tomorrow.
100 becomes 200, 200 becomes 400.
Know why?
Because suppliers sell day and night.
Drugs who provides them?
EASTERN SEOUL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
Prosecutor.
Chief Prosecutor!
Kang-su! Over here.
Not here, right?
I'm running for President next year...
Bro, what room is this?
Special room for special people.
Not everyone gets in.
For VIP investigations CEOs,
even ex-Presidents.
Interrogation rooms force confessions. Here, we entertain guests.
VIP room, not for commoners.
I'm VIP too. VIP without status.
Damn!
People must keep climbing higher.
Looking down reminds us who we are.
Indescribable joy.
Really?
Kang-su.
Every time I look out,
I feel like walking a tightrope one wrong step, I fall...
I feel so anxious.
Damn.
Fall from here, you shatter.
That's why you grip with all your strength!
I'm betting my life on you.
Understand? We both must do this right.
Bro,
always worrying unnecessarily...
Just hold your head high, don't let the crown fall.
I'll handle the rest.
Alright. I trust you.
I'll place myself in the Special Investigation Division.
Wow, my bro!
Sounds ambitious.
Wait a sec.
Got a little gift for you...
Open it.
Lighter?
At Supreme Prosecutors' Office Special Division,
even smoking must look cool!
Use this till retirement.
Suits you perfectly!
Thanks.
I... have one too.
This kid, a twin lighter?
What powder is that?
"Mermaid Tears."
Only real players have it.
100% authentic import from up north.
Small-time junkies outside couldn't dream of tasting it.
Price... Damn, gives me a headache...
So cut to the chase what else?
Patience, bro. - Yeah, what?
Some punk got caught carrying 500 grams.
Just last week I negotiated with cops for him.
Oh Jae-chul.
Dongin Milling Group CEO's son.
Aha?
Smell that? Fame.
Damn bro, smells strong.
This project's drenched in gasoline.
Just waiting for you...
To light the fire...
And BOOM!
You land smoothly at Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
And I become a national informant.
What about the gasoline seller?
Yeom...
I call him boss, forgot his name.
Daegu thug, Yeom Tae-su.
Thick Gyeongsang accent.
Right.
Only 4.5 kilos left.
The half kilo dissolved in his stomach.
- Hey, you.
- What?
Play bigger.
Stop making underlings swallow "condoms" of product.
Boss Yeom picky about food?
Easy to say.
Try swallowing a condom yourself.
You dog!
Boss!
You dog!
Let go!
You're dead.
Who's next?
Shit.
The missing half kilo,
consider it medical expenses.
See Kim Hak-nam pissing his pants in fear?
Should I just kill him?
His men just for show?
Lock him up like his brothers,
then Yamamoto's shipment is mine.
Bro, I'll cut off the car's path, okay?
Just ram them.
Wait until we enter Namdong area to hit.
Don't lose track of them.
Boss Yeom Tae-su! So badass.
Getting escorted by a swarm of butterflies.
That's the Emperor, Sang-jae.
What the hell?
Keep staring and the butterflies might bite!
Run! I'll cover you.
Turn the car around!
Yes, sir!
Damn it!
Get out of the way!
Who the hell are you?
I'm with Yamamoto!
Yamamoto?
You insolent little shit.
Motherfucker!
Too many damn questions.
Head to Namdong Station! Now!
Go!
To Namdong Station!
Goddammit!
Check plate number 15RU 8649!
Hey, asshole!
Yeom Tae-su stopped.
Stopped at Namdong Station. Namdong Station.
- Don't get caught.
- Understood.
Move!
Out of my way!
- Hey! Where'd he go?
- He went into Namdong Station!
Who are you?
Save the introductions for later.
Go to Platform 3, Gate 4-2.
Your guardian angel's waiting there.
See you there, okay?
You walking there?
Run! One, two!
One, two! One, two! One, two!
- Call backup!
- Cut them off over there!
4-2, 4-2...
Go!
Yeom Tae-su!
Yeom Tae-su!
Move! Police!
Move aside! Move!
Police! This is the police!
Hey! Drop it!
Come at me if you dare!
Resistance is useless! Drop it!
Everyone clear out! Now!
Yeom Tae-su, surrender!
Yeom Tae-su?
Tase him.
What is this?
We're from the prosecution!
Prosecutor's office!
Prosecution?
That's right.
Since when do prosecutors snatch suspects?
There must be a misunderstanding, this is all a mistake.
What misunderstanding? We've been staking him out for days!
You've worked hard!
We have an arrest warrant.
Let's go.
Are you kidding me?
What kind of operation is this?
Boss!
That the guy who cut us off earlier?
Yeah, that's him!
That's Lee Kang-su,
the country's top informant.
That bastard dared to steal the Emperor's collar.
Hello.
You had a question earlier? Go ahead.
So you're the one who reported me?
Why ask when it's obvious?
You worked hard chasing your target.
The state will take care of your remaining years.
Consider it... rehabilitation.
Prosecutor,
how many years you giving him? Five?
No.
Charges: Smuggling, distribution, use, and possession.
Minimum seven years.
Maximum fifteen. We can arrange any number.
Your story ends here.
Let's consider this case closed, shall we?
Boss, can I have a quick word?
Smoke first, then sign.
OH SANG-JAE
Do you want to
become my informant?
Informant?
Whenever you meet with these people, contact me.
Do it quietly.
You won't get in trouble.
Trust me.
Where are you?
I'll be safe, right?
Give me the location, then get out of there.
Laura Hill Hotel. Let's move!
Move your ass!
Where you going? Get in.
Oppa, I don't feel well. I want to go home and rest.
Hey.
See the man in blue?
He helped my father a lot,
and he really likes you.
Oppa, I'm really not feeling well. Next time, okay?
Hey, Su-jin.
Even if you're sick, you're going in.
Damn, your side-eye is killer.
Lead actress aura is different.
There, that's better.
That's the look I've been searching for!
We're here, Laura Hill Hotel.
Alright, let's get out.
Next time we meet, hope your grave's tidy.
Clear?
Then don't forget to take a number.
But even with a number, the wait's forever.
You're number 236.
Safety first. Be careful.
- Okay, get ready.
- Ready!
Go!
Move it!
Prosecutor.
I'll take my leave now.
You've worked hard. See you again.
- Hey! Yeah, boss!
Ready? Let's go in!
Alright, move out!
Only losers dump stuff here!
Let big bro take you somewhere nicer.
You got the goods?
- Tons!
- Then let's go!
Huh!?
See you again.
I was just about to call you.
What do you think?
Not three, but four years in prison.
What's that?
- Call an ambulance for him!
- Get an ambulance!
Shit...
Get out of here.
- Let's go.
- Move, what the hell.
Yes, Father.
No idea where these people came from.
They just stormed my place.
Who are you?
You the ringleader here?
Not bad-looking.
Shame if you're not on TV.
Suspect snatched again!
Damn thieves!
Those rotten eastern prosecutors.
Why'd they clean us out like this!
What are you talking about?
You got a search warrant?
Obstructing officers is arrestable!
Goddamn it, seriously...
That girl's mine.
What girl?
Let me go, asshole.
If this gets out, we're all dead.
Officer.
Officer.
Get lost before anyone sees you.
That drug dog's nose is too sharp.
Boss, drinks after this, yeah?
- Yeah, I know.
- Don't forget.
Prosecutor!
What kind of investigation is this?
Let go!
Prosecutor!
- Calm down.
- It's dangerous! Move!
Whoa!
You've worked hard.
Threw out small bait for a big fish, didn't expect the fish to escape.
If you're brave, don't run!
Coward!
Get back here!
EASTERN PROSECUTORS' OFFICE CHIEF
Calling me nonstop is useless.
I only called to ask you to suppress this matter.
Who knew it'd reach Chief Prosecutor Kim's ears.
Because of your call, I had to change my number.
Do I look easy to bully?
Of course not.
If I thought that, I wouldn't be here.
Then don't come.
Let's talk seriously.
You want a promotion, right?
As long as you handle this...
Our candidate won't forget your favor.
Gain an ally, lose an enemy...
He'll pave the way for you.
Prosecutor.
Forget what happened at Laura Hill Hotel.
What if I kill your sister?
I don't have a sister.
The number you dialed is busy.
Oppa, you're not answering, so I'll start drinking first.
Finish your business and get here.
I know you're just there for show.
Your underlings do the work.
Collapse at the slightest touch.
Eastern Prosecutors' Office.
- Why are you here?
- Sit.
- Oppa, why are they here?
- Search warrant.
Search for what?
Don't touch that.
During a drug investigation...
We received intel you took bribes from Yeom Tae-su.
Kang-su!
Kang-su!
Wake up and drink with me.
How dare you!
Just a light touch, don't tense up.
No! Don't!
No! I said no!
It's in!
Rookie actress Uhm Su-jin arrested for drug use.
Accused of using stimulants at a downtown Seoul hotel,
formally detained today.
Kyuk-hyun.
Yes, boss.
Make a copy of this.
Yes.
Oh my.
You reached the end faster than I thought.
Told you: next time we meet, hope your grave's tidy.
Kang-su, you son of a bitch.
Wake up, wake up!
Please... don't...
Please...
My fault... I'm sorry...
Yes, yes, almost done.
Today, alcohol replaces rice.
Why feed him? Let him OD and die.
Come in!
Welcome!
- Hi, Sis Hye-joo!
- This way.
Enough! No need to be so dramatic!
No addict admits they're an addict.
Boss!
That lunatic's screaming again.
Shit...
Let me see.
Easy to get hooked, hard to quit. Know that, idiot?
I'm busy, hanging up.
RESTRICTED AREA
What're you screaming about, huh?
I told you quitting's hard! Not a joke!
Chang-rak...
One... just one dose.
One dose please!
Dumbass!
Let me go!
One dose! Give me one dose!
Not eating again?
Then why insist on quitting?
Now rice tastes like dirt? That why?
If you don't eat, tomorrow even dirt will be gone!
Withdrawal causes hallucinations cockroaches, spiders...
Use a little to make it fun.
Go fuck your mother!
Number 2938.
Number 1104.
If my phone's location history is checked,
it'll show I never met Yeom Tae-su, the man who bribed me.
Lastly, I ask the prosecutor who jailed me for a year:
If a criminal with 8 drug priors claims a prosecutor took money,
can I just believe it and arrest/investigate that prosecutor?
Verdict reading.
Verdict: Defendant Oh Sang-jae not guilty.
See you at the appeal trial.
Hye-in!
Dad's home, kid.
You worked hard.
I'm Park Hyun-sook, Creative People's Party Assembly Member.
Ah, yes.
One moment.
- Go to mom first.
- Your daughter's beautiful.
Yes?
Did you read my letter?
I heard you were at last year's Laura Hill Hotel case scene.
I want details.
Sorry.
Brief chat? Heard there's footage of the incident.
- Candidate Cho Sang-tack's son was there that night?
- What do you want?
Calm down, honey.
Based on baseless testimony, you let my husband rot in jail.
- That's what needs investigating.
- Let's just go.
We're leaving.
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Yes, I know Spokesperson Park Hyun-sook.
Don't act, just avoid her.
I'll handle it. You just...
take a month's vacation. Understood?
Yes, yes.
Before leaving, meet me at Eclipse.
Brainless idiot. Just do as told, less talk.
Sorry I'm late. Why did you summon me?
Not late.
Now a hotshot prosecutor with power.
But sooner or later...
This Park Hyun-sook woman!
With elections nearing,
she's poking around my friends' companies and homes for dirt.
Keeps digging into Laura Hill...
Handle this, will you?
Park Hyun-sook was a reporter tenacious as hell.
Turns molehills into mountains, adds spice.
Hey!
What's she eating to be so noisy?
Can you handle it or not? Answer me, old man.
Yelling won't solve anything.
Give me time to think.
One minute starts now.
I have an idea.
CEO Kang Myung-chul, jailed for financial fraud,
was candidate Yoon Sung-hyup's junior in high school.
I transferred 10 billion won in campaign funds to Yoon.
First 3 billion in cash and dollars.
A week later, 5 billion in Japanese yen.
Finally, 3 billion in cash/vouchers.
Hey, Mr. Kang Myung-chul.
The last amount should be 2 billion!
Sequence is 3, 5, then 2!
Old man always confuses 2 and 3.
CEO, sit here please.
I'm here to help you regain control of your company.
If you're uncooperative, I walk.
You know who to side with, right?
If he admits Park Hyun-sook sent the money, problem solved.
You're a genius.
A genius at coercing confessions.
Now, enjoy yourself.
Alright. I'll talk to my father.
Keep your friends quiet. Don't let them talk.
- Could ruin the plan.
- Relax.
They're all leaving this Saturday. Handled.
One more thing...
Don't let junkies like Yeom Tae-su in here again.
Trusting addicts will cost you dearly.
Don't worry.
I'm the undefeatable Gao Ranger.
Join hands and advance with Cho Sang-taek!
Everyone! Everyone!
No different from a cult.
Just a herd of easily led cattle.
Cho Sang-taek!
CHECK BLACK TAPE UNDER OUTDOOR AC UNICAN YOU INJECT IT FOR ME?
NO INJECTION SERVICE. AFTER PAYMENT, I'LL SEND COORDINATES.
MAYBE I'LL FIND ANOTHER PLACE. SOME CUSTOMERS SHARE...
IF THEY TAKE YOU TO POLICE, DON'T CRY.
IS MY HAND TRUSTWORTHY? I'LL PAY EXTRA.
Come in!
Erica?
Pretty.
Just relax.
Pat gently.
Your veins are nice and strong.
Yeah, so inject wherever you want.
- Sis.
- Hm?
How many doses?
Two strips.
Two strips?
Impressive.
Don't feel anything yet...
Go!
First time here, Reporter Song?
Yes, Prosecutor.
During elections, sensitive cases...
often get buried.
Pity, I wanted to offer you some tasty "hot soup".
Oops, forgot to pour your drink.
Been forgetful lately.
"Hot soup" should be eaten hot, sir.
Huh?
You mean Haeshin Group CEO Kang Myung-chul's case?
Heard he's shuttling between jail and prosecution.
Sharp nose you've got.
That CEO Kang...
Embezzled 10 billion won.
All 10 billion went to candidate Yoon Sung-hyup.
Assembly Member Park Hyun-sook brokered it.
I have all the evidence right here.
Soup that's not boiled gives stomachaches...
Elections are close investigating now could backfire.
You provide ingredients, I'll cook the soup.
This case could be huge if exposed.
You sure you can cook it?
Just clap your hands, delicious soup served.
Talk like your family's sold soup for generations.
Hey, Reporter Song.
You've covered the Prosecution long, right?
Yes! Fourth year now, Prosecutor.
Always "Prosecutor this, Prosecutor that" feels like family after 4 years.
Call me "Bro" to be closer.
Less than two weeks until the 21st Presidential Election,
According to SBC polls...
- Starving.
- Yes, come in.
Candidates Cho Sang-taek and Yoon Sung-hyup in tight race, gap narrowing.
Compared to ten days ago, candidate Cho Sang-taek...
Why still here? Want a smoke?
Quit since jail.
Any updates on Yeom Tae-su?
Vanished. Probably fled overseas.
Zero leads for a year.
I'll drag him to court no matter what.
Sold my house for lawyer fees 100 million won.
If I lose the appeal,
Hye-in and I are ruined.
Bring me Jong-su and one sharp rookie.
Any good new recruits?
You'll definitely be acquitted.
Why pick fights with prosecutors? Always stirring trouble.
Damn it, how long must police bow to prosecutors?
They framed you once, sent you to jail, still addicted?
Just handle desk work until the appeal's over.
I'm team leader now.
If you go rogue, the whole team suffers.
Please endure a little longer.
Those kids eat well?
Hey!
Lee Kang-su!
Missed me, huh?
Brave of you to come gift-wrap your life.
Glad you're here I'm feeling nostalgic.
Put on cuffs, make it official.
Rough before warming up?
Let's talk first.
I came to help you.
What scheme now?
Let me talk!
Listen first!
Where's Yeom Tae-su?
You set me up! Yeom Tae-su's dog!
Shut up! Let me talk!
You and I both framed!
I'm not Yeom Tae-su's dog, dumbass!
Then whose dog?
Officer Oh's!
Didn't expect much but...
not even a shred of remorse?
Disappointing.
You joined the junkies?
Yes, thanks to you.
After jail, my contacts filled with dealers.
Fuck, it hurts!
Yeom Tae-su injected me then burned my leg.
Felt my skin cooking.
But one hit of bliss makes you forget pain.
He kept me high for a whole month.
Want to catch that dog, right?
I also...
miss that dog terribly.
My enemy's enemy is my friend.
You asked who that man was.
Cho Hoon.
Guy staring at his phone.
Presidential candidate's son.
He gave me the drugs.
No wonder Prosecutor Gu panicked.
Never expected...
the top candidate's son.
The "lucky" informant.
The "innocent" actress.
And the "fortunate" cop.
Three obstacles to eliminate.
So,
you plan to drag the prosecution chief and candidate's son into the same pit?
You insane?
I have uncensored Full HD video!
Alright, let's go!
When Cho Hoon got busted at Laura Hill...
I recorded everything.
Where's the video?
With... Yeom Tae-su.
Then where is he?
Exporting drugs from North to Japan.
Used to be Kim Hak-nam's turf in Incheon.
Now belongs to Yeom Tae-su.
Reward for eliminating us.
Only one way to lure him out.
Intercept his "flour" shipment...
He'll show himself.
Cho Hoon's throwing a party this Friday.
I'm on the guest list.
Only chance. After Saturday, they flee overseas.
I'll film Cho Hoon when he's high.
Need solid proof to jail him.
We're even. Three vs three, one on one.
Yeom Tae-su.
Prosecutor Gu.
That side is Cho Hoon.
Alright.
I'm only responsible for catching Yeom Tae-su.
You handle the rest yourselves, got it?
I told you, it's easy to get addicted,
but hard to quit. Understand, you idiot?
So don't you dare try it!
Damn, my luck's terrible
having to deal with addicts.
Agreed!
No need for handshakes!
So enthusiastic! So fired up!
Table 7, 3 kilos of eel!
3 kilos of eel!
3 kilos? If it's "flour" price,
700 million per kilo. That's 2.1 billion won.
Right?
Hey.
- Ouch, the knife...
- Who are you?
- Hak-nam, huh.
- Damn it!
We came to eat "flour"-wrapped eel rolls.
Damn snitch.
My foot's stuck!
Your face clearly shows you plan to betray us.
Only a fool would trust an informant.
And you, Officer, I'm a distributor!
Asking me to dismantle the whole network
is asking me to sacrifice my men.
Good people don't do that.
Eat eel for stamina, then leave.
No need to see me out.
- Hak-nam!
- What?
Just got threatened by Yeom Tae-su
and you're already scared?
Is that why you let him run the whole network?
Do you want to be handcuffed,
or should Yeom Tae-su be handcuffed?
Yeom Tae-su?
Right, Yeom Tae-su!
That bastard Yeom Tae-su
forced Boss Kim to hide here.
We were just discussing it.
What help do you need, Officer?
Tell me about the drug
called "Mermaid's Tear."
How it's delivered to Yeom Tae-su.
Where?
INCHEON PORWhen the goods transit from China
arrive in Incheon,
my men take them to the warehouse
and package them neatly.
Yamamoto's eel transport truck
comes from Japan to the warehouse.
Yamamoto's men drive,
and Yeom's men escort.
They load the goods onto the truck
then pack the eels on top.
Heads straight to Busan for delivery to Yeom.
Non-stop from Incheon to Busan.
Only stops at one place.
Yeongshin Fish Soup House,
near Sujeong district, Incheon.
That Japanese driver really loves
their fish soup.
So delicious!
When?
They'll arrive by ferry
this Friday morning.
Haeshin Group CEO Kang Myung-chul gave 5 billion won cash
to Assemblywoman Park Hyun-sook
in the "Stage" room.
This is where Mr. Kang handed
5 billion won cash to Mrs. Park.
Prosecutors concluded the money
was used as campaign funds for candidate Yoon.
Scanners won't detect this camera.
Covered like this, even your grandfather
wouldn't notice.
Can you do it?
Looks good.
If it's dangerous, run immediately.
If there's trouble, contact me.
Seems like last year you
gave me the exact same instructions...
Hey!
Back then... I...
Don't apologize now.
Wait for a better time.
Let me say this clearly,
I'm doing this because I want to.
All set?
Once you have the recording, send it to me.
Stick to your roles. Remember?
Okay!
Bye!
- Hey!
- Huh?
Scared?
Scared of what?
Let's go!
Will the plan work?
Depends on how the cop
who locked up Su-jin acts.
Cheap informants dare to lecture me.
Really, shouldn't listen to addicts.
I told you I'm not an addict!
You don't use, so you wouldn't understand!
No addict admits they're an addict.
Addicted but still ashamed!
Damn it, I quit long ago...
Whatever, I'm done!
Wear your seatbelt! Wear it!
What seatbelt? There's not even a strap?
This project smells fishy.
INCHEON FISHERMEN'S SEAFOOD SHOP
FRIDAY
Why don't we ambush them now
to get it over with?
What kind of attitude is that?
We must wait for them to bring the goods out. Understood?
Only then will it be easier
to catch Yeom Tae-su.
He'll be furious about losing the goods
and show himself.
Yes, I know!
Keep a close watch.
You have 10 minutes!
Lower your voice!
Annoying addict...
Su-jin.
Why are there so many
rehab centers overseas?
In Korea they're hard to find,
so rare!
What if we open one?
Find a nice place abroad,
then lock them all up there...
Charge 10 million won per person,
we'd be rich.
What addict has money for
luxury rehab like that?
Hey, for you it's free,
But don't forget to bring a caretaker, okay?
To handle meals, drinks,
encouragement...
Lots to take care of.
Hide!
What! What's happening!
Bro, what brings you here?
You bastard.
Wanted hangover soup.
- Come in, Bro.
- Yeah.
Little eagle calls big eagle,
hear me, respond!
Big eagle!
Damn it, where'd he fly off to?
Left without a word!
Please stop.
- I need to check your bag.
- Hey, let him in!
Alright, come in.
This "sugar" is good,
I saved some for the boss.
The Japanese are waiting at dock 3,
Gamcheon port.
Just say "delicious" in Korean,
why "oishii," forgetting your roots.
Yeom Tae-su!
Wow, I've missed you so much.
Before we reminisce...
put these handcuffs on first.
Don't disturb people eating.
Please... please don't shoot!
Damn snitch!
Yeom Tae-su!
Grab his gun!
Gun!
Grab it quick!
I said grab his gun!
Damn, he opened the "sugar"!
Damn it, why are these eels here?
What's that sound?
Lee Kang-su, you thief!
On the 1st and 15th of every month,
I'll burn incense for you!
Yeom Tae-su!
Ugly and badly behaved!
Oh no.. Officer...
We're not close, don't joke like this.
Shut up!
Hurry up! Where's the video?
Watch, watch, wristwatch.
Inside the watch!
Go quickly.
Let's go.
Too bad not to be on TV.
Take good care of him.
Yes, Sir.
Alright!
This is just the warm-up.
The recording Su-jin took is the main event.
Got a message!
It's recorded!
Perfect!
Execute.
Roger!
Prosecutor's office? I want to report
a group using "MSG."
Is the mastermind behind all this...
Prosecutor Gu?
Did he also make me an addict?
How about I kill your sister?
I don't have a sister.
Selling "sugar,"
but no "sugar" in stock?
Are you kidding?
That's the price you pay
for being a prosecutor's dog.
Wait here, don't go anywhere.
What's your response to CEO Kang Myung-chul's confession?
Is it true 10 billion won was given
to candidate Yoon?
I never received a single penny
from Kang Myung-chul,
how could I give it to candidate Yoon?
Huh?
Prosecutor.
The Narcotics Unit just
received a report.
Location: Eclipse yacht
at Seoul Marina.
- Eclipse?
- Correct.
We'll handle this case ourselves,
don't contact maritime police.
Involving them will only
complicate matters.
Sit down!
What is this?
Caught smuggling drugs.
Total 5 kilos.
I'll take the statement myself,
nobody touches anything, clear?
Damn... Causing trouble again.
Huh?
I thought your role ended after
catching Yeom Tae-su?
I want to ensure Su-jin can
retire safely.
Drive the car.
Quiet!
I said quiet! Quiet! Everyone quiet!
Getting a free ride and still ungrateful...
Say it again.
You're being set up, get out of there now!
Quick, get out immediately!
Didn't we block the maritime police?
What else?
Someone reported the yacht's
name and location, get out now!
POWDER PATTERN
I heard.
Prosecutor, Yeom Tae-su
was just arrested by Team Leader Oh.
Officer Oh caught Yeom Tae-su?
Yes, it seems the team leader worked with
informant Lee Kang-su.
Lee Kang-su?
You sure it's Lee Kang-su?
Is the intel accurate?
No mistake, Sir.
I just verified it.
Seems Uhm Su-jin
is also in cahoots with Lee Kang-su.
The actress from Laura Hill last year.
I saw all three together.
Lee Kang-su, Uhm Su-jin, and Oh Sang-jae?
So Su-jin is on the yacht...
When vacationing, don't use phones.
Use Telegram.
Hey, Uhm Su-jin.
Don't contact anyone
until the election is over.
I know.
Are you messing with me?
Don't just give half-answers,
tell the truth.
Say it quickly.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR GU GWAN-HEE
Damn it...
Don't go chasing "sugar"
like a madman.
And don't go partying recklessly.
Remember, don't repeat this.
Run quickly.
You're with Uhm Su-jin, right?
- I got the recording!
- Perfect! I was scared to death!
Kang-su! We escaped!
Leaving Yeouido now!
- Guard the video well, okay?
- Okay, Bro!
Give the phone to Su-jin.
What else?
Damn, I don't want to see your face!
Can't we just call normally?
Then look at me.
Good job.
You said you'd pull
Cho Hoon's breathing tube.
Remember that promise.
A promise is a promise.
I'm counting on you.
Give the phone to Emperor Sang-jae.
What for?
Hold it for a second.
Geez, the important thing is done, and still...
I'm driving, just hold it!
Done? Here, take it back.
Forgot something?
Everything's over now,
it's the perfect time to apologize.
Just say it already!
Add some tears
to make it more heartfelt.
Come on, no need to be shy now!
Damn it...
I'm sorry.
I did something...
unforgivable to you...
That's enough... me too.
Hello?
Is it dark?
Uhm Su-jin!
Hello?
Hello?
Call again.
Chang-rak...
Chang-rak...
Call an ambulance!
Chang-rak.
Help me.
Are you okay?
Help me.
Help me.
Still conscious?
Danger, don't get close!
Danger!
- Don't! It's dangerous!
- Bro, don't do this!
Let go!
Danger!
Go!
Calm down, Bro!
It's over!
Police informants always get screwed.
You caught Yeom Tae-su,
it's all over now.
Let it go.
What about you?
What will you do?
I'll upload the video online,
then flee Korea.
Finished?
Just like that?
At least apologize first
to Eom Su-jin.
And your friend too!
Keep your promise to Su-jin,
finish off Cho Hoon.
Drag Prosecutor Gu down with him.
Without evidence, what can you do?
Be a real informant.
Bro Gwan-hee!
Had dinner?
Seeing your face kills my appetite.
Your call history has
Lee Kang-su and Oh Sang-jae.
Persistent ghosts that won't leave.
Impressive.
You said you handled everything,
so why are they still bothering me?
Just pisses me off...
Is eliminating all evidence
really that hard?
It's not hard...
It shouldn't be hard...
But because you can't stay still,
it became damn difficult!
Gwan-hee, are you crazy?
So what if I am?
News keeps digging and updating
because of the election.
At a time like this, you're still doing drug parties?
Mr. Cho, listen carefully.
In Korea, a prosecutor
can make someone President,
but also break them.
You fool.
Your scandal,
I'll clean it up completely.
Is that old man PMSing?
You the troublemaker here?
Not bad looking.
Too bad not to be on TV.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Long time no see.
How have you been?
I've been great.
Is that so?
A year passed, seeing you like this,
I'm happy for you.
Watching this video brings back memories.
Turns out you kept it.
Give it to me, why keep
a fake video.
Shut up.
What did you say?
Hypocritical old man.
Why should I give it to you?
If you'd spoken nicely from the start,
I might've handed it over.
Hey, Kang-su.
Seems you've misunderstood me.
About last year's incident,
I'll be honest.
It wasn't me, I never
ordered that.
Ordered what?
Which thing?
Everything you've hidden,
I know it all.
You told me not to touch drugs.
You also wanted to be my big brother?
What kind of brother injects his little brother?
I studied my ass off my whole life,
not to serve
junkies like you!
Let me warn you.
Whatever you're planning,
you'd better stop now.
Or what? You'll kill me?
You know the answer, why ask.
You've experienced it once, right?
Fine.
Just wait and see.
See how it feels to be bitten by a mad dog.
Next time we meet,
hope it's in hell, okay, Big Bro.
Lunatic.
Damn!
Long time no see, beautiful Seoul.
Hey, why didn't you just kill Yeom Tae-su,
why hand him to Sang-jae?
The "MSG" Yeom Tae-su was supposed
to deliver to Yamamoto,
I intercepted it midway.
How many kilos?
25 kilos.
Then Yamamoto will definitely
kill Yeom Tae-su.
That Japanese guy's unstable.
1 kilo equals 100 thousand dollars.
You got 2.5 million dollars.
You hit the jackpot.
What does little brother need from big brother?
Find me a boat to China.
For you and Emperor Sang-jae?
Hey, what reckless thing are you planning?
We'll finish off Prosecutor Gu
then flee Korea.
Prosecutor Gu? Gu Gwan-hee, huh.
Are you high on "MSG"?
You're the one high.
Hurry up with the money and boat.
I'm perfectly sober.
How's our child, Honey?
I have to go on a long assignment.
Don't worry!
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
What now, Boss?
Quiet, can't you see my brain's
working hard?
Ko Chang-rak who died yesterday
lived with Kang-su here before.
If we find the video
Kang-su recorded, we're safe.
Damn it, so annoying.
Should've just handcuffed him that night.
Prosecutor!
What?
Someone's looking for you.
Who?
I'm tailing Lee Kang-su.
I want to help you, Prosecutor,
and make a strong impression.
Seems you need something from me.
That Yeom Tae-su guy.
His territory should be mine.
Tell me where Lee Kang-su is.
He's heading to
Assemblywoman Park Hyun-sook's place.
To deliver videos
and your audio recordings.
Let me go.
Give it to me, no time left.
Then I'll prepare the rest.
Don't fail, this is the last chance.
Everything will be fine, don't be cowardly.
Hey!
Candidate number 2, Yoon Sung-hyup!
Smart voters, prosperous nation!
Vote for candidate number 2, vote number 2!
Vote for candidate number 2, vote number 2!
Candidate number 2, Yoon Sung-hyup!
Please stop!
You can't enter.
I'm Oh Sang-jae
from the Narcotics Unit!
I have something to deliver
to Assemblywoman Park.
We can deliver it for you.
I must hand it over directly.
You can't enter.
Assemblywoman!
Mrs. Park Hyun-sook!
Assemblywoman! Ma'am!
I'm Oh Sang-jae!
Arrest him!
Assemblywoman Park Hyun-sook!
Oh Sang-jae, you're under arrest for
violating the Narcotics Control Act!
Assemblywoman!
I'm Oh Sang-jae!
We're from the prosecution.
Lee Kang-su isn't here.
Made many copies for souvenirs,
Officer Oh?
Good stuff should be shared.
Let all citizens enjoy it.
Where's Lee Kang-su?
He smelled you coming
and fled. We parted ways.
Tonight, in the 3rd Presidential Debate
hosted by the Election Commission,
the drug scandal involving the son of candidate Cho Sang-taek
will be a controversial topic.
Are you sure?
You said:
"Eat while it's hot for best flavor."
But if it's this hot...
Scared?
Bro, turning that sharply could make us crash...
A prosecutor's duty is to investigate crimes.
Just like reporters always
side with the truth.
All for justice.
Sir, there's a problem.
What?
It's... better discussed inside.
There's evidence showing
Cho Hoon used drugs.
If verified, Cho Hoon will...
Damn Prosecutor Gu, still calling Chairman Cho?
Are you insane?
Think bigger picture.
Hey, Gwan-hee.
Damn it, are you messing with me?
Will Chairman Cho Hoon come voluntarily,
or shall I send someone to fetch you?
Huh?
Damn it, you old bastard.
Hey, Reporter Song.
Tell the press Cho Hoon
will turn himself in.
This case is assigned to Chief Prosecutor
Gu Gwan-hee, Anti-Corruption Team 3.
Damn it...
Cho Hoon will appear at
Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office at 9 PM tonight.
Goodness, Prosecutor Gu...
Cunning old fox.
We're colleagues,
if there's a misunderstanding,
we can talk it out.
No need for such heat.
This is your appeal withdrawal letter.
Just fax it to the court,
you'll be found not guilty
at the appeal trial.
You can continue as a police officer.
Finished the charade?
You know what I want.
That Kang-su guy kept
the original and copies, right?
Where is he?
Still laughing at a time like this.
Your daughter's about 6, right?
She looks so sweet.
You should know your place
while I'm still being nice.
Family comes first, right.
What are you doing?
Look up there, at that spot.
We're currently in front of the Prosecutors' Office.
Tonight will be the final debate
among Presidential candidates.
Cho Hoon, son of candidate Cho Sang-taek
from the Future United Party, voluntarily
appeared at Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
How do you feel being called
"national drug addict"?
Are the accusations true?
Please answer, Mr. Cho Hoon.
Anything you want to say?
Never seen reporters
so shy before?
Why not use the basement?
Where's that Gu guy?
Watch your mouth.
Your mouth is getting out of line.
How long will you keep standing?
Have you thought it through?
Give me a cigarette first, then we talk.
Sure, here.
Send the fax first.
Alright.
You, send this fax.
Yes, Sir.
Here, write.
These coordinates?
Thanks, good work.
This is Lee Kang-su's location.
Make sure he goes quietly.
Not like last time.
Go now, no more hesitation! It'll be dark soon!
The lawyer's outside.
Hey! What's wrong?
You can see from here, right?
You want the lawyer to pee for you?
Hey, you need to take a dump?
If not, just pee over there.
Damn it!
Gu Gwan-hee! You damn old geezer!
Damn, so cool!
Now that's what I call "wow".
Mr. Oh Sang-jae!
After you're free, don't cause more trouble.
I do enjoy causing trouble.
What's it to you?
Here we go again.
You know everything,
yet lack self-awareness.
Lawyer Park and I will handle the testimony,
you just rest.
How kind. More merciful than Buddha.
Nice!
Thank you.
By the way, whose urine sample was that?
My deputy team leader's middle school son.
Guaranteed clean.
Results will be negative.
No signs of drug use.
Once the debate ends,
the breaking news will air immediately.
Tomorrow, Park Hyun-sook's
arrest warrant will be issued.
Election day is in a week.
By then, Candidate Yoon's team
won't be able to do anything.
Prosecutor Gu is amazing,
outsmarting even Zhuge Liang.
Oh right, that Song guy...
Reporter Song?
Yeah! That's him!
Can I take him down?
Don't cause more trouble.
His journalism career is finished.
Distributing unauthorized footage
of recorded individuals,
violates Article 14 of the Anti-Sexual Violence Act,
max 7 years imprisonment
or up to 50 million won fine.
Let the law handle him.
Journalists aren't your fathers.
Just because they're reporters,
they think they're equal to prosecutors.
Hello everyone!
Attorney General!
- Gwan-hee, right?
- Yes, Sir.
You'll need to make a small sacrifice.
It's not even murder,
just a bit of "flour", why drag you here...
Sorry for the disturbance, Sir.
I just called your father,
told him not to worry.
We're practically family.
You've done great service.
It's nothing, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
When your father was Chief Special Investigator,
he taught me so much.
If investigations went wrong,
he'd scold me mercilessly.
We're almost there.
That bastard's over there.
Bro, mind if I turn on the TV?
My dad's on.
Can I watch for a minute?
Yeah, go ahead!
Gotta see the debate...
Next is candidate Yoon Sung-hyup.
Remember to ask questions
to at least two candidates.
You may begin.
I'd like to ask
candidate Cho Sang-taek.
Gwan-hee, when will you announce
the investigation results?
Right after the debate ends.
Gotta seize the moment.
Yes, I remember, Sir.
My god, candidate Cho's aura is incredible.
If evidence proves
my son used drugs,
I, Cho Sang-taek,
will immediately withdraw
from the presidential race.
The people have entrusted me.
I will never cease my efforts.
Sorry, Mr. Cho, I'll interrupt briefly.
A video is going viral
on YouTube and social media.
We need to verify this information.
Thank you for understanding.
Kang-su!
I dream of you every night.
Hello...
Boss looking for this?
Tae-su? You worked hard
coming all this way.
You came so fast!
BREAKING NEWS
Breaking news.
A video recording Cho Hoon,
son of candidate Cho Sang-taek
and prosecutor Gu Gwan-hee
is circulating widely.
Is this live?
Whose urine sample was that?
- My deputy's middle school son...
- Deputy Oh!
- ...my deputy's son.
- Why is this on TV?
Deputy Oh!
Results will be negative.
No signs of drug use.
After the debate ends,
breaking news will air immediately.
Tomorrow, Park Hyun-sook's

Damn bastard...
Let's go live to the scene.
The man turning around
is Prosecutor Gu Gwan-hee.
Beside him is Cho Hoon,
the candidate's son,
the young man in white.
We're being filmed from behind!
They seem aware of the camera
and are rushing to avoid it.
Close the curtains!
Officials present here,
including the Attorney General,
Close it!
are seen panicking as they leave the room.
Gu Gwan-hee! You damn old geezer!
- Hey, Gu Gwan-hee!
- Curtains are hastily closed.
One, two! One, two!
One, two! One, two!
TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A JUNKIE. HAHA.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S SON
GROVELING BEFORE PROSECUTOR
All curtains are closed now.
SEOUL CENTRAL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
SUSPECTED OF EVIDENCE TAMPERING
Seems empty now...
I can't hear anything anymore.
I hear applause.
Yes, that's applause.
People are still inside.
They haven't all left.
Since curtains are closed,
we only have audio.
Oh, someone just threw something on the floor.
Could this person
have stayed to destroy evidence?
You're watching live coverage!
Listen carefully.
The "Lounge" is next to Gu's office.
Go ahead!
Where all case closures happen.
Should we storm in?
Can't do that.
Call that old fox Gu.
Tell him you'll expose my secret.
Why should I help you this far?!
Prosecutor looking for Lee Kang-su?
It's Oh Sang-jae!
Need to get into the "Lounge".
- Smoke first, then talk.
- This is for you.
But you don't have to enter yourself.
- Investigator.
- Yes.
- You, send this fax.
- Yes, Sir.
Hey.
This lighter's mic
will connect to the camera
when lit.
No smoking lately,
must be stressful.
Have a smoke.
Thanks.
I... have one too.
Kid, matching lighters?
Who says criminals can't be heroes.
You've got a sharp nose.
Made it all the way here?
You traitor!
No, it's not like that.
Damn you!
Do you know how hard I worked
to reach this position...
And you destroyed it?!
You...
Careless, if you don't hold tight, you'll fall.
Falling like this? Maybe your ancestors
can't bear you anymore.
Karma moves faster than 5G!
You!
Stop!
Even if I lose the election.
I've won the people's hearts...
Shut up! Hypocrite!
CANDIDATE CHO SANG-TAEK:
"LOST DUE TO INCOMPETENCE"
Open the door!
My poor father...
- Open the door!
- Won't!
- Get down!
- Down!
You're all still wet behind the ears.
Think you can arrest me!
Hey, hey, don't play crazy.
Wow, he's gone mad...
Snap out of it.
I'm Gao Ranger!
Stop!
Gao White, move out!
Is Prosecutor Gu there?
Prosecutor Gu?
No answer? We're coming in.
Take him away.
I'll go, I'll go.
No, I'm not itchy...
It hurts, not itchy.
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS FILM ARE FICTIONAL.
These junkies are such a pain!
Inspector Cha, arrest him!
Hey, asshole! Sit still.
I'm so thirsty!
Give me something to drink!
So damn loud.
- Can't even spare a sip of water? Cheap bastard!
- Careful, you'll fall!
Which junkie's asking for me?
Oh Jae-chul,
son of Dongin Milling's CEO.
He's been screaming your name.
You're quite famous.
Congratulations.
Of course!
Even low-level lawyers
have to call me first.
He's got a criminal record.
Three similar cases
and one year probation.
Oh right, Kang-su was caught red-handed
holding product.
Take good care of him, okay?
"Take care"? That's not enough, bro.
If you wanna get rich, think bigger.
Stop counting pocket change.
The "flour" gods aren't smiling on you today.
Why only stash 500 grams?
Team Leader Kim!
How many years for 500 grams?
About 5 years.
My life's over...
Shut the hell up!
Get me out of here!
Whether you walk free or not...
depends on whether you and I
find this... "impressive".
Get promoted or make headlines!
I can fix everything!
Smart kid!
Three bosses 20 million each.
Plus per-kilo price!
How many kilos?
2 kilograms.
50 million per kilo.
Plus the three bosses...
Total 160 million won...
in Bitcoin.
Crystal clear, pal?
Payment in Bitcoin.
Whatever it is, don't complicate my life.
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
Busting a drug ring!
Enough evidence for 66,000 doses.
Our side gets in the papers.
Their side gets to go home and rest.
- Damn it...
- What the hell is this?
Hey, old man!
Back your car up!
I said BACK UP YOUR CAR!
Deaf? Move your damn car!
Wow, our Chang-rak's a big shot now.
I got you out of jail,
and you forget about me?
How ungrateful.
Heard you're doing well these days!
Bro, don't be like that.
How many kilos is this?
3 kilos?
Give me 2 kilos.
Don't joke! Losing two-thirds
could end my life.
When it comes to addicts' endurance,
Koreans last the longest.
Know why?
Cops are scared you'll die.
When you withdrawal, they toss you
in jail to detox.
Haven't detoxed in a while, have you?
Chang-rak...
stop cutting your product with rice powder.
Selling fake shit like this,
no wonder it doesn't last.
Fine. What do you want? Spit it out.
Give me three big names.
Not users.
Suppliers, distributors, couriers.
I trust you.
If you don't want me arresting you,
do it right.
Damn, that guy's never on time.
There, there he is! He's here!
Hey, check the goods.
All good?
Thanks, you too.
Perfect, 2 kilos exactly.
- Let's go.
- Yeah, let's go baby!
Shit, how do I reverse?
Sorry!
I'll get out and check the car.
Wait!
- What?
- Don't get out of the car!
What? Why? Why?
Everyone focus.
Something's wrong.
Roll your window down a sec?
Reverse! Back up the car!
Run, you idiot!
Stop!
Block him!
- Smash the window! Smash it! Open the door!
Open it!
- Break the glass!
Smash it! Open the door! Open!
- Run!
- Hurry!
Still won't open the door?
My job's done.
Give back my 2 kilos you seized,
right, bro?
Get out of the car now!
Sang-chul! He's coming your way, block him!
- Jin-woo!
- You bastard!
Jesus, what kind of cops are these?
Total amateurs.
Get out of the car now!
Fuck! Dog!
Block him! Quick!
Eat another one.
A minor issue like this
needs me to step in?!
Korea's drug world has three types:
Dealers, cops,
and types like me insiders (Yadang).
I stand between addicts and police,
making sure both sides win.
These cases boost cops' achievements.
Addicts sign "Statements of Cooperation in Investigation."
Done.
Statement of Cooperation in Investigation.
This can reduce 10-year sentences to one-third.
Check it.
A deal that only exists
for drug crimes.
A system that reduces sentences for cooperation.
Cleans your record spotless.
Exactly 160 million.
Frankly, big drug cases every year
are all "well-oiled."
Don't forget full evidence photos.
Cash for goods. What's illegal? Damn!
Bigger media coverage makes cops happier.
Happier cops mean better cooperation statements.
Kang-soo, good work!
Ready!
Addicts, cops, and I have a symbiotic relationship.
Korea's drug world calls this:
YADANG: THE THREE-WAY BETRAYAL
How many springs have passed?
Twenty-eight, sir.
Ah, you're 28?
Good.
- Same age as you...
- Just shock me.
...live right, understand?
Yes, sir.
One wrong step,
you go from hero to inmate.
This is for you!
Bro, this is too much...
- Wait 30 minutes.
- Huh?
I'll visit "baby three" real quick.
Here!
Drink, drink!
Yeah, yeah.
So refreshing.
I'll be right back.
Damn...
You're under arrest for violating the Narcotics Control Act.
Gross...
So disgusting...
UIJEONGBU DETENTION CENTER
Don't step on the threshold.
Fart in the toilet.
Take off shoes before entering.
Shit...
Hey, take the newbie in.
Heavy? Let me carry it.
Thanks, bro...
Hey, you!
Sorry...
Damn bastard, broke two rules already!
Looking for trouble, huh?
Every year, 23,000 drug offenders enter prison in blue uniforms for detox.
- You're here!
- Welcome, boss!
Smurf festival today or what?
Hey, Smurf King. Here.
Sit.
Damn junkie.
Who said you could sit here?
Lifetime informant, nobody knows.
One positive test, whole country knows.
I'm only negative for good things. Not positive for drugs.
Here!
You here?
Hold this paper.
Before meeting me, Prosecutor Gu was unknown.
After 10 years in service,
he only got transferred to a northern prosecutors' office,
full of addicts.
2,500 prosecutors nationwide.
Only 1% get promoted.
Somehow, the other 99% quit within 10 years.
Successful people have their own path, so this Prosecutor Gu,
after slacking off,
wants to join that 1%.
Get the bug spray.
Catching addicts is like killing cockroaches.
Catch one, another appears.
To eradicate them, destroy their nest.
Ko Heung-sik... Cell 2, right?
This one's Cell 3.
This one...
Cell 4.
Right, Cell 2.
Lee Kang-su.
Look here.
Try parting your hair in the middle.
Doesn't look like a junkie.
Of course, sir.
You were framed, right?
Drank what they gave you, passed out.
- Cheap trick.
- Exactly!
Yes! Just as you said! So cheap!
He sensed danger, found a scapegoat.
That's how it happened, Prosecutor!
Good memory?
Huh?
Read what you remember.
Lee Doo-yong, 910304-1687954.
Lee Doo-yong, 910304-1687954.
Shin Ji-yeop, 870507-1498752.
Kim Sung-rim, 790912-1487416.
Jucheon-ro 9748-10, Chojon-myeon, Seongju-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
- Enough.
- Jo in hwi...
This guy's a born informant!
You share a cell with Ko Heung-sik, right?
I'm not good at this.
Do it often, you'll get good.
Be my eyes and ears. Find out everything about him.
Fill in all these blanks,
and I'll cut your sentence in half.
Really, sir?
Six.
Seven.
Hey, Smurf King!
Who said you could come close?
To get important info,
you need Ko Heung-sik's attention.
Do you understand human language?
Hey!
Boss!
Hey!
Hey!
Give it to him.
Eat.
Prosecutor...
Can you help me with something?
What?
Hey!
Bastard!
Pull him off!
Stuck like a leech!
Pull him!
Everyone quiet!
Hey, hey! What's this?
Hiding product?
You shrimp, daring to stash "MSG"!
Not me!
God, stop it, you'll break the chair.
Jesus.
Two new packs of "sugar" arrived.
Who'll go to Pyeongtaek and Incheon to pick up?
Myung-cheon handles Pyeongtaek "sugar".
For Incheon,
give it to Jung-yeop, make him taste the "sugar" first.
This is for you.
Yes, thank you.
You worked hard, well done!
Here.
Stay still if you don't want scars.
Turn around.
Done.
I'm Prosecutor Gu Gwan-hee, Uijeongbu Prosecutors' Office.
Gang members confessed to acting under orders from Ko Heung-sik,
Incheon drug lord, currently detained at Uijeongbu...
He's... talking nonsense?
Where's Lee Kang-su?
Everyone quiet!
Lee Kang-su!
TRANSFERRED TO GWANGJU DETENTION CENTER
GWANGJU PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
- Hello.
- Welcome, Prosecutor.
PROMOTED TO DEPUTY CHIEF PROSECUTOR
I'm in Bangkok, Thailand.
Here for training.
Meat?
What meat?
I didn't send meat.
Ah, that meat. I'll send more if available.
Gotta go.
Why'd you send... Thank you so much.
Farming's tough, need nutritious food.
Your mom doesn't know you're in jail?
She'd faint if she knew.
You're a filial son.
Ever seen a filial son in jail?
My mom raised me alone too.
Went to wholesale market at dawn to buy fish for resale.
Then washed dishes at eateries all day...
Just to feed me.
She always said: "Live so no one looks down on you."
"Whatever it takes, succeed, succeed, succeed."
Her words still echo in my ears.
Here's your glass.
Let me pour.
Drink.
It's fine, drink.
What're you waiting for? Drink, don't be shy.
I'll soon transfer to Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
You're moving to Seoul?
Calling it Seoul sounds fancy...
but still the outskirts East, West, South, North.
Maybe Eastern Seoul next, gotta aim for Supreme Prosecutors' Office...
After prison, what'll you do?
I...
I...
Don't know.
Branded an addict, might relapse after release.
This kid!
Kidding, kidding.
Hey, Kang-su.
How about becoming a professional informant?
No money worries.
And you'd help me too.
Why you laughing?
Nothing... Just weird hearing you call yourself "bro".
Then from now on, we're brothers forever.
Okay, bro.
I'll help however I can.
Not as addict and prosecutor,
but as... brothers.
Of course. We're brothers.
Bro! Let me pour for you!
But promise me.
Never touch "flour" again.
I'm serious.
One hit, your life's ruined.
Okay.
Raining again.
We there?
You're here!
They've been in the car over three hours.
Won't answer anything.
- Hey, get in!
- Yes!
Why stand outside in this rain?
- Hold this!
- Yes.
They're not responding!
Miss, open the door!
You have the right to an attorney and to remain silent!
No response? I'll use my own methods!
Do something, bro.
Bro, tow truck's here.
Help us!
Go!
Wait... No...
What now? What do we do?
Two lines.
I just...
took diet pills...
For a movie role.
Didn't know it was illegal...
Stale excuse.
I'm sick of hearing it.
Where'd you buy the diet pills?
Silence isn't golden. It's rude!
Wait, he looks familiar.
Got 2 years probation for drugs, just released.
- Ah, that...
- Name...
Yoo... what, Yoo...
Can't recall.
What's his name?
Yoo Min-gu...
Got it.
Yoo Ji-sung.
Yoo Ji-sung?
Son of Ilmoon Construction Group's CEO?
Ah, yes, yes!
You probably don't know me, huh?
I'm Oh Sang-jae, Head of Narcotics Team 2.
In the drug world, they call me Emperor Sang-jae.
Once in my hands, guilty or not, you go to jail.
Want to try?
One call, reporters swarm.
Want me escorting you down the red carpet?
- Remove the cuffs.
- Yes.
You must have your difficulties.
Torn between heart and logic.
But don't worry.
I arrest one person, they'll name you anyway.
"Movie Actress! Uhm Su-jin!"
Then you'll learn
what "angel face, wolf heart" means.
For someone like Miss Su-jin,
just confess honestly,
and you can go home.
I only want the supplier.
Catching 100 addicts is useless 100 more appear tomorrow.
100 becomes 200, 200 becomes 400.
Know why?
Because suppliers sell day and night.
Drugs who provides them?
EASTERN SEOUL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
Prosecutor.
Chief Prosecutor!
Kang-su! Over here.
Not here, right?
I'm running for President next year...
Bro, what room is this?
Special room for special people.
Not everyone gets in.
For VIP investigations CEOs,
even ex-Presidents.
Interrogation rooms force confessions. Here, we entertain guests.
VIP room, not for commoners.
I'm VIP too. VIP without status.
Damn!
People must keep climbing higher.
Looking down reminds us who we are.
Indescribable joy.
Really?
Kang-su.
Every time I look out,
I feel like walking a tightrope one wrong step, I fall...
I feel so anxious.
Damn.
Fall from here, you shatter.
That's why you grip with all your strength!
I'm betting my life on you.
Understand? We both must do this right.
Bro,
always worrying unnecessarily...
Just hold your head high, don't let the crown fall.
I'll handle the rest.
Alright. I trust you.
I'll place myself in the Special Investigation Division.
Wow, my bro!
Sounds ambitious.
Wait a sec.
Got a little gift for you...
Open it.
Lighter?
At Supreme Prosecutors' Office Special Division,
even smoking must look cool!
Use this till retirement.
Suits you perfectly!
Thanks.
I... have one too.
This kid, a twin lighter?
What powder is that?
"Mermaid Tears."
Only real players have it.
100% authentic import from up north.
Small-time junkies outside couldn't dream of tasting it.
Price... Damn, gives me a headache...
So cut to the chase what else?
Patience, bro. - Yeah, what?
Some punk got caught carrying 500 grams.
Just last week I negotiated with cops for him.
Oh Jae-chul.
Dongin Milling Group CEO's son.
Aha?
Smell that? Fame.
Damn bro, smells strong.
This project's drenched in gasoline.
Just waiting for you...
To light the fire...
And BOOM!
You land smoothly at Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
And I become a national informant.
What about the gasoline seller?
Yeom...
I call him boss, forgot his name.
Daegu thug, Yeom Tae-su.
Thick Gyeongsang accent.
Right.
Only 4.5 kilos left.
The half kilo dissolved in his stomach.
- Hey, you.
- What?
Play bigger.
Stop making underlings swallow "condoms" of product.
Boss Yeom picky about food?
Easy to say.
Try swallowing a condom yourself.
You dog!
Boss!
You dog!
Let go!
You're dead.
Who's next?
Shit.
The missing half kilo,
consider it medical expenses.
See Kim Hak-nam pissing his pants in fear?
Should I just kill him?
His men just for show?
Lock him up like his brothers,
then Yamamoto's shipment is mine.
Bro, I'll cut off the car's path, okay?
Just ram them.
Wait until we enter Namdong area to hit.
Don't lose track of them.
Boss Yeom Tae-su! So badass.
Getting escorted by a swarm of butterflies.
That's the Emperor, Sang-jae.
What the hell?
Keep staring and the butterflies might bite!
Run! I'll cover you.
Turn the car around!
Yes, sir!
Damn it!
Get out of the way!
Who the hell are you?
I'm with Yamamoto!
Yamamoto?
You insolent little shit.
Motherfucker!
Too many damn questions.
Head to Namdong Station! Now!
Go!
To Namdong Station!
Goddammit!
Check plate number 15RU 8649!
Hey, asshole!
Yeom Tae-su stopped.
Stopped at Namdong Station. Namdong Station.
- Don't get caught.
- Understood.
Move!
Out of my way!
- Hey! Where'd he go?
- He went into Namdong Station!
Who are you?
Save the introductions for later.
Go to Platform 3, Gate 4-2.
Your guardian angel's waiting there.
See you there, okay?
You walking there?
Run! One, two!
One, two! One, two! One, two!
- Call backup!
- Cut them off over there!
4-2, 4-2...
Go!
Yeom Tae-su!
Yeom Tae-su!
Move! Police!
Move aside! Move!
Police! This is the police!
Hey! Drop it!
Come at me if you dare!
Resistance is useless! Drop it!
Everyone clear out! Now!
Yeom Tae-su, surrender!
Yeom Tae-su?
Tase him.
What is this?
We're from the prosecution!
Prosecutor's office!
Prosecution?
That's right.
Since when do prosecutors snatch suspects?
There must be a misunderstanding, this is all a mistake.
What misunderstanding? We've been staking him out for days!
You've worked hard!
We have an arrest warrant.
Let's go.
Are you kidding me?
What kind of operation is this?
Boss!
That the guy who cut us off earlier?
Yeah, that's him!
That's Lee Kang-su,
the country's top informant.
That bastard dared to steal the Emperor's collar.
Hello.
You had a question earlier? Go ahead.
So you're the one who reported me?
Why ask when it's obvious?
You worked hard chasing your target.
The state will take care of your remaining years.
Consider it... rehabilitation.
Prosecutor,
how many years you giving him? Five?
No.
Charges: Smuggling, distribution, use, and possession.
Minimum seven years.
Maximum fifteen. We can arrange any number.
Your story ends here.
Let's consider this case closed, shall we?
Boss, can I have a quick word?
Smoke first, then sign.
OH SANG-JAE
Do you want to
become my informant?
Informant?
Whenever you meet with these people, contact me.
Do it quietly.
You won't get in trouble.
Trust me.
Where are you?
I'll be safe, right?
Give me the location, then get out of there.
Laura Hill Hotel. Let's move!
Move your ass!
Where you going? Get in.
Oppa, I don't feel well. I want to go home and rest.
Hey.
See the man in blue?
He helped my father a lot,
and he really likes you.
Oppa, I'm really not feeling well. Next time, okay?
Hey, Su-jin.
Even if you're sick, you're going in.
Damn, your side-eye is killer.
Lead actress aura is different.
There, that's better.
That's the look I've been searching for!
We're here, Laura Hill Hotel.
Alright, let's get out.
Next time we meet, hope your grave's tidy.
Clear?
Then don't forget to take a number.
But even with a number, the wait's forever.
You're number 236.
Safety first. Be careful.
- Okay, get ready.
- Ready!
Go!
Move it!
Prosecutor.
I'll take my leave now.
You've worked hard. See you again.
- Hey! Yeah, boss!
Ready? Let's go in!
Alright, move out!
Only losers dump stuff here!
Let big bro take you somewhere nicer.
You got the goods?
- Tons!
- Then let's go!
Huh!?
See you again.
I was just about to call you.
What do you think?
Not three, but four years in prison.
What's that?
- Call an ambulance for him!
- Get an ambulance!
Shit...
Get out of here.
- Let's go.
- Move, what the hell.
Yes, Father.
No idea where these people came from.
They just stormed my place.
Who are you?
You the ringleader here?
Not bad-looking.
Shame if you're not on TV.
Suspect snatched again!
Damn thieves!
Those rotten eastern prosecutors.
Why'd they clean us out like this!
What are you talking about?
You got a search warrant?
Obstructing officers is arrestable!
Goddamn it, seriously...
That girl's mine.
What girl?
Let me go, asshole.
If this gets out, we're all dead.
Officer.
Officer.
Get lost before anyone sees you.
That drug dog's nose is too sharp.
Boss, drinks after this, yeah?
- Yeah, I know.
- Don't forget.
Prosecutor!
What kind of investigation is this?
Let go!
Prosecutor!
- Calm down.
- It's dangerous! Move!
Whoa!
You've worked hard.
Threw out small bait for a big fish, didn't expect the fish to escape.
If you're brave, don't run!
Coward!
Get back here!
EASTERN PROSECUTORS' OFFICE CHIEF
Calling me nonstop is useless.
I only called to ask you to suppress this matter.
Who knew it'd reach Chief Prosecutor Kim's ears.
Because of your call, I had to change my number.
Do I look easy to bully?
Of course not.
If I thought that, I wouldn't be here.
Then don't come.
Let's talk seriously.
You want a promotion, right?
As long as you handle this...
Our candidate won't forget your favor.
Gain an ally, lose an enemy...
He'll pave the way for you.
Prosecutor.
Forget what happened at Laura Hill Hotel.
What if I kill your sister?
I don't have a sister.
The number you dialed is busy.
Oppa, you're not answering, so I'll start drinking first.
Finish your business and get here.
I know you're just there for show.
Your underlings do the work.
Collapse at the slightest touch.
Eastern Prosecutors' Office.
- Why are you here?
- Sit.
- Oppa, why are they here?
- Search warrant.
Search for what?
Don't touch that.
During a drug investigation...
We received intel you took bribes from Yeom Tae-su.
Kang-su!
Kang-su!
Wake up and drink with me.
How dare you!
Just a light touch, don't tense up.
No! Don't!
No! I said no!
It's in!
Rookie actress Uhm Su-jin arrested for drug use.
Accused of using stimulants at a downtown Seoul hotel,
formally detained today.
Kyuk-hyun.
Yes, boss.
Make a copy of this.
Yes.
Oh my.
You reached the end faster than I thought.
Told you: next time we meet, hope your grave's tidy.
Kang-su, you son of a bitch.
Wake up, wake up!
Please... don't...
Please...
My fault... I'm sorry...
Yes, yes, almost done.
Today, alcohol replaces rice.
Why feed him? Let him OD and die.
Come in!
Welcome!
- Hi, Sis Hye-joo!
- This way.
Enough! No need to be so dramatic!
No addict admits they're an addict.
Boss!
That lunatic's screaming again.
Shit...
Let me see.
Easy to get hooked, hard to quit. Know that, idiot?
I'm busy, hanging up.
RESTRICTED AREA
What're you screaming about, huh?
I told you quitting's hard! Not a joke!
Chang-rak...
One... just one dose.
One dose please!
Dumbass!
Let me go!
One dose! Give me one dose!
Not eating again?
Then why insist on quitting?
Now rice tastes like dirt? That why?
If you don't eat, tomorrow even dirt will be gone!
Withdrawal causes hallucinations cockroaches, spiders...
Use a little to make it fun.
Go fuck your mother!
Number 2938.
Number 1104.
If my phone's location history is checked,
it'll show I never met Yeom Tae-su, the man who bribed me.
Lastly, I ask the prosecutor who jailed me for a year:
If a criminal with 8 drug priors claims a prosecutor took money,
can I just believe it and arrest/investigate that prosecutor?
Verdict reading.
Verdict: Defendant Oh Sang-jae not guilty.
See you at the appeal trial.
Hye-in!
Dad's home, kid.
You worked hard.
I'm Park Hyun-sook, Creative People's Party Assembly Member.
Ah, yes.
One moment.
- Go to mom first.
- Your daughter's beautiful.
Yes?
Did you read my letter?
I heard you were at last year's Laura Hill Hotel case scene.
I want details.
Sorry.
Brief chat? Heard there's footage of the incident.
- Candidate Cho Sang-tack's son was there that night?
- What do you want?
Calm down, honey.
Based on baseless testimony, you let my husband rot in jail.
- That's what needs investigating.
- Let's just go.
We're leaving.
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Candidate #1, Cho Sang-taek!
Yes, I know Spokesperson Park Hyun-sook.
Don't act, just avoid her.
I'll handle it. You just...
take a month's vacation. Understood?
Yes, yes.
Before leaving, meet me at Eclipse.
Brainless idiot. Just do as told, less talk.
Sorry I'm late. Why did you summon me?
Not late.
Now a hotshot prosecutor with power.
But sooner or later...
This Park Hyun-sook woman!
With elections nearing,
she's poking around my friends' companies and homes for dirt.
Keeps digging into Laura Hill...
Handle this, will you?
Park Hyun-sook was a reporter tenacious as hell.
Turns molehills into mountains, adds spice.
Hey!
What's she eating to be so noisy?
Can you handle it or not? Answer me, old man.
Yelling won't solve anything.
Give me time to think.
One minute starts now.
I have an idea.
CEO Kang Myung-chul, jailed for financial fraud,
was candidate Yoon Sung-hyup's junior in high school.
I transferred 10 billion won in campaign funds to Yoon.
First 3 billion in cash and dollars.
A week later, 5 billion in Japanese yen.
Finally, 3 billion in cash/vouchers.
Hey, Mr. Kang Myung-chul.
The last amount should be 2 billion!
Sequence is 3, 5, then 2!
Old man always confuses 2 and 3.
CEO, sit here please.
I'm here to help you regain control of your company.
If you're uncooperative, I walk.
You know who to side with, right?
If he admits Park Hyun-sook sent the money, problem solved.
You're a genius.
A genius at coercing confessions.
Now, enjoy yourself.
Alright. I'll talk to my father.
Keep your friends quiet. Don't let them talk.
- Could ruin the plan.
- Relax.
They're all leaving this Saturday. Handled.
One more thing...
Don't let junkies like Yeom Tae-su in here again.
Trusting addicts will cost you dearly.
Don't worry.
I'm the undefeatable Gao Ranger.
Join hands and advance with Cho Sang-taek!
Everyone! Everyone!
No different from a cult.
Just a herd of easily led cattle.
Cho Sang-taek!
CHECK BLACK TAPE UNDER OUTDOOR AC UNICAN YOU INJECT IT FOR ME?
NO INJECTION SERVICE. AFTER PAYMENT, I'LL SEND COORDINATES.
MAYBE I'LL FIND ANOTHER PLACE. SOME CUSTOMERS SHARE...
IF THEY TAKE YOU TO POLICE, DON'T CRY.
IS MY HAND TRUSTWORTHY? I'LL PAY EXTRA.
Come in!
Erica?
Pretty.
Just relax.
Pat gently.
Your veins are nice and strong.
Yeah, so inject wherever you want.
- Sis.
- Hm?
How many doses?
Two strips.
Two strips?
Impressive.
Don't feel anything yet...
Go!
First time here, Reporter Song?
Yes, Prosecutor.
During elections, sensitive cases...
often get buried.
Pity, I wanted to offer you some tasty "hot soup".
Oops, forgot to pour your drink.
Been forgetful lately.
"Hot soup" should be eaten hot, sir.
Huh?
You mean Haeshin Group CEO Kang Myung-chul's case?
Heard he's shuttling between jail and prosecution.
Sharp nose you've got.
That CEO Kang...
Embezzled 10 billion won.
All 10 billion went to candidate Yoon Sung-hyup.
Assembly Member Park Hyun-sook brokered it.
I have all the evidence right here.
Soup that's not boiled gives stomachaches...
Elections are close investigating now could backfire.
You provide ingredients, I'll cook the soup.
This case could be huge if exposed.
You sure you can cook it?
Just clap your hands, delicious soup served.
Talk like your family's sold soup for generations.
Hey, Reporter Song.
You've covered the Prosecution long, right?
Yes! Fourth year now, Prosecutor.
Always "Prosecutor this, Prosecutor that" feels like family after 4 years.
Call me "Bro" to be closer.
Less than two weeks until the 21st Presidential Election,
According to SBC polls...
- Starving.
- Yes, come in.
Candidates Cho Sang-taek and Yoon Sung-hyup in tight race, gap narrowing.
Compared to ten days ago, candidate Cho Sang-taek...
Why still here? Want a smoke?
Quit since jail.
Any updates on Yeom Tae-su?
Vanished. Probably fled overseas.
Zero leads for a year.
I'll drag him to court no matter what.
Sold my house for lawyer fees 100 million won.
If I lose the appeal,
Hye-in and I are ruined.
Bring me Jong-su and one sharp rookie.
Any good new recruits?
You'll definitely be acquitted.
Why pick fights with prosecutors? Always stirring trouble.
Damn it, how long must police bow to prosecutors?
They framed you once, sent you to jail, still addicted?
Just handle desk work until the appeal's over.
I'm team leader now.
If you go rogue, the whole team suffers.
Please endure a little longer.
Those kids eat well?
Hey!
Lee Kang-su!
Missed me, huh?
Brave of you to come gift-wrap your life.
Glad you're here I'm feeling nostalgic.
Put on cuffs, make it official.
Rough before warming up?
Let's talk first.
I came to help you.
What scheme now?
Let me talk!
Listen first!
Where's Yeom Tae-su?
You set me up! Yeom Tae-su's dog!
Shut up! Let me talk!
You and I both framed!
I'm not Yeom Tae-su's dog, dumbass!
Then whose dog?
Officer Oh's!
Didn't expect much but...
not even a shred of remorse?
Disappointing.
You joined the junkies?
Yes, thanks to you.
After jail, my contacts filled with dealers.
Fuck, it hurts!
Yeom Tae-su injected me then burned my leg.
Felt my skin cooking.
But one hit of bliss makes you forget pain.
He kept me high for a whole month.
Want to catch that dog, right?
I also...
miss that dog terribly.
My enemy's enemy is my friend.
You asked who that man was.
Cho Hoon.
Guy staring at his phone.
Presidential candidate's son.
He gave me the drugs.
No wonder Prosecutor Gu panicked.
Never expected...
the top candidate's son.
The "lucky" informant.
The "innocent" actress.
And the "fortunate" cop.
Three obstacles to eliminate.
So,
you plan to drag the prosecution chief and candidate's son into the same pit?
You insane?
I have uncensored Full HD video!
Alright, let's go!
When Cho Hoon got busted at Laura Hill...
I recorded everything.
Where's the video?
With... Yeom Tae-su.
Then where is he?
Exporting drugs from North to Japan.
Used to be Kim Hak-nam's turf in Incheon.
Now belongs to Yeom Tae-su.
Reward for eliminating us.
Only one way to lure him out.
Intercept his "flour" shipment...
He'll show himself.
Cho Hoon's throwing a party this Friday.
I'm on the guest list.
Only chance. After Saturday, they flee overseas.
I'll film Cho Hoon when he's high.
Need solid proof to jail him.
We're even. Three vs three, one on one.
Yeom Tae-su.
Prosecutor Gu.
That side is Cho Hoon.
Alright.
I'm only responsible for catching Yeom Tae-su.
You handle the rest yourselves, got it?
I told you, it's easy to get addicted,
but hard to quit. Understand, you idiot?
So don't you dare try it!
Damn, my luck's terrible
having to deal with addicts.
Agreed!
No need for handshakes!
So enthusiastic! So fired up!
Table 7, 3 kilos of eel!
3 kilos of eel!
3 kilos? If it's "flour" price,
700 million per kilo. That's 2.1 billion won.
Right?
Hey.
- Ouch, the knife...
- Who are you?
- Hak-nam, huh.
- Damn it!
We came to eat "flour"-wrapped eel rolls.
Damn snitch.
My foot's stuck!
Your face clearly shows you plan to betray us.
Only a fool would trust an informant.
And you, Officer, I'm a distributor!
Asking me to dismantle the whole network
is asking me to sacrifice my men.
Good people don't do that.
Eat eel for stamina, then leave.
No need to see me out.
- Hak-nam!
- What?
Just got threatened by Yeom Tae-su
and you're already scared?
Is that why you let him run the whole network?
Do you want to be handcuffed,
or should Yeom Tae-su be handcuffed?
Yeom Tae-su?
Right, Yeom Tae-su!
That bastard Yeom Tae-su
forced Boss Kim to hide here.
We were just discussing it.
What help do you need, Officer?
Tell me about the drug
called "Mermaid's Tear."
How it's delivered to Yeom Tae-su.
Where?
INCHEON PORWhen the goods transit from China
arrive in Incheon,
my men take them to the warehouse
and package them neatly.
Yamamoto's eel transport truck
comes from Japan to the warehouse.
Yamamoto's men drive,
and Yeom's men escort.
They load the goods onto the truck
then pack the eels on top.
Heads straight to Busan for delivery to Yeom.
Non-stop from Incheon to Busan.
Only stops at one place.
Yeongshin Fish Soup House,
near Sujeong district, Incheon.
That Japanese driver really loves
their fish soup.
So delicious!
When?
They'll arrive by ferry
this Friday morning.
Haeshin Group CEO Kang Myung-chul gave 5 billion won cash
to Assemblywoman Park Hyun-sook
in the "Stage" room.
This is where Mr. Kang handed
5 billion won cash to Mrs. Park.
Prosecutors concluded the money
was used as campaign funds for candidate Yoon.
Scanners won't detect this camera.
Covered like this, even your grandfather
wouldn't notice.
Can you do it?
Looks good.
If it's dangerous, run immediately.
If there's trouble, contact me.
Seems like last year you
gave me the exact same instructions...
Hey!
Back then... I...
Don't apologize now.
Wait for a better time.
Let me say this clearly,
I'm doing this because I want to.
All set?
Once you have the recording, send it to me.
Stick to your roles. Remember?
Okay!
Bye!
- Hey!
- Huh?
Scared?
Scared of what?
Let's go!
Will the plan work?
Depends on how the cop
who locked up Su-jin acts.
Cheap informants dare to lecture me.
Really, shouldn't listen to addicts.
I told you I'm not an addict!
You don't use, so you wouldn't understand!
No addict admits they're an addict.
Addicted but still ashamed!
Damn it, I quit long ago...
Whatever, I'm done!
Wear your seatbelt! Wear it!
What seatbelt? There's not even a strap?
This project smells fishy.
INCHEON FISHERMEN'S SEAFOOD SHOP
FRIDAY
Why don't we ambush them now
to get it over with?
What kind of attitude is that?
We must wait for them to bring the goods out. Understood?
Only then will it be easier
to catch Yeom Tae-su.
He'll be furious about losing the goods
and show himself.
Yes, I know!
Keep a close watch.
You have 10 minutes!
Lower your voice!
Annoying addict...
Su-jin.
Why are there so many
rehab centers overseas?
In Korea they're hard to find,
so rare!
What if we open one?
Find a nice place abroad,
then lock them all up there...
Charge 10 million won per person,
we'd be rich.
What addict has money for
luxury rehab like that?
Hey, for you it's free,
But don't forget to bring a caretaker, okay?
To handle meals, drinks,
encouragement...
Lots to take care of.
Hide!
What! What's happening!
Bro, what brings you here?
You bastard.
Wanted hangover soup.
- Come in, Bro.
- Yeah.
Little eagle calls big eagle,
hear me, respond!
Big eagle!
Damn it, where'd he fly off to?
Left without a word!
Please stop.
- I need to check your bag.
- Hey, let him in!
Alright, come in.
This "sugar" is good,
I saved some for the boss.
The Japanese are waiting at dock 3,
Gamcheon port.
Just say "delicious" in Korean,
why "oishii," forgetting your roots.
Yeom Tae-su!
Wow, I've missed you so much.
Before we reminisce...
put these handcuffs on first.
Don't disturb people eating.
Please... please don't shoot!
Damn snitch!
Yeom Tae-su!
Grab his gun!
Gun!
Grab it quick!
I said grab his gun!
Damn, he opened the "sugar"!
Damn it, why are these eels here?
What's that sound?
Lee Kang-su, you thief!
On the 1st and 15th of every month,
I'll burn incense for you!
Yeom Tae-su!
Ugly and badly behaved!
Oh no.. Officer...
We're not close, don't joke like this.
Shut up!
Hurry up! Where's the video?
Watch, watch, wristwatch.
Inside the watch!
Go quickly.
Let's go.
Too bad not to be on TV.
Take good care of him.
Yes, Sir.
Alright!
This is just the warm-up.
The recording Su-jin took is the main event.
Got a message!
It's recorded!
Perfect!
Execute.
Roger!
Prosecutor's office? I want to report
a group using "MSG."
Is the mastermind behind all this...
Prosecutor Gu?
Did he also make me an addict?
How about I kill your sister?
I don't have a sister.
Selling "sugar,"
but no "sugar" in stock?
Are you kidding?
That's the price you pay
for being a prosecutor's dog.
Wait here, don't go anywhere.
What's your response to CEO Kang Myung-chul's confession?
Is it true 10 billion won was given
to candidate Yoon?
I never received a single penny
from Kang Myung-chul,
how could I give it to candidate Yoon?
Huh?
Prosecutor.
The Narcotics Unit just
received a report.
Location: Eclipse yacht
at Seoul Marina.
- Eclipse?
- Correct.
We'll handle this case ourselves,
don't contact maritime police.
Involving them will only
complicate matters.
Sit down!
What is this?
Caught smuggling drugs.
Total 5 kilos.
I'll take the statement myself,
nobody touches anything, clear?
Damn... Causing trouble again.
Huh?
I thought your role ended after
catching Yeom Tae-su?
I want to ensure Su-jin can
retire safely.
Drive the car.
Quiet!
I said quiet! Quiet! Everyone quiet!
Getting a free ride and still ungrateful...
Say it again.
You're being set up, get out of there now!
Quick, get out immediately!
Didn't we block the maritime police?
What else?
Someone reported the yacht's
name and location, get out now!
POWDER PATTERN
I heard.
Prosecutor, Yeom Tae-su
was just arrested by Team Leader Oh.
Officer Oh caught Yeom Tae-su?
Yes, it seems the team leader worked with
informant Lee Kang-su.
Lee Kang-su?
You sure it's Lee Kang-su?
Is the intel accurate?
No mistake, Sir.
I just verified it.
Seems Uhm Su-jin
is also in cahoots with Lee Kang-su.
The actress from Laura Hill last year.
I saw all three together.
Lee Kang-su, Uhm Su-jin, and Oh Sang-jae?
So Su-jin is on the yacht...
When vacationing, don't use phones.
Use Telegram.
Hey, Uhm Su-jin.
Don't contact anyone
until the election is over.
I know.
Are you messing with me?
Don't just give half-answers,
tell the truth.
Say it quickly.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR GU GWAN-HEE
Damn it...
Don't go chasing "sugar"
like a madman.
And don't go partying recklessly.
Remember, don't repeat this.
Run quickly.
You're with Uhm Su-jin, right?
- I got the recording!
- Perfect! I was scared to death!
Kang-su! We escaped!
Leaving Yeouido now!
- Guard the video well, okay?
- Okay, Bro!
Give the phone to Su-jin.
What else?
Damn, I don't want to see your face!
Can't we just call normally?
Then look at me.
Good job.
You said you'd pull
Cho Hoon's breathing tube.
Remember that promise.
A promise is a promise.
I'm counting on you.
Give the phone to Emperor Sang-jae.
What for?
Hold it for a second.
Geez, the important thing is done, and still...
I'm driving, just hold it!
Done? Here, take it back.
Forgot something?
Everything's over now,
it's the perfect time to apologize.
Just say it already!
Add some tears
to make it more heartfelt.
Come on, no need to be shy now!
Damn it...
I'm sorry.
I did something...
unforgivable to you...
That's enough... me too.
Hello?
Is it dark?
Uhm Su-jin!
Hello?
Hello?
Call again.
Chang-rak...
Chang-rak...
Call an ambulance!
Chang-rak.
Help me.
Are you okay?
Help me.
Help me.
Still conscious?
Danger, don't get close!
Danger!
- Don't! It's dangerous!
- Bro, don't do this!
Let go!
Danger!
Go!
Calm down, Bro!
It's over!
Police informants always get screwed.
You caught Yeom Tae-su,
it's all over now.
Let it go.
What about you?
What will you do?
I'll upload the video online,
then flee Korea.
Finished?
Just like that?
At least apologize first
to Eom Su-jin.
And your friend too!
Keep your promise to Su-jin,
finish off Cho Hoon.
Drag Prosecutor Gu down with him.
Without evidence, what can you do?
Be a real informant.
Bro Gwan-hee!
Had dinner?
Seeing your face kills my appetite.
Your call history has
Lee Kang-su and Oh Sang-jae.
Persistent ghosts that won't leave.
Impressive.
You said you handled everything,
so why are they still bothering me?
Just pisses me off...
Is eliminating all evidence
really that hard?
It's not hard...
It shouldn't be hard...
But because you can't stay still,
it became damn difficult!
Gwan-hee, are you crazy?
So what if I am?
News keeps digging and updating
because of the election.
At a time like this, you're still doing drug parties?
Mr. Cho, listen carefully.
In Korea, a prosecutor
can make someone President,
but also break them.
You fool.
Your scandal,
I'll clean it up completely.
Is that old man PMSing?
You the troublemaker here?
Not bad looking.
Too bad not to be on TV.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Long time no see.
How have you been?
I've been great.
Is that so?
A year passed, seeing you like this,
I'm happy for you.
Watching this video brings back memories.
Turns out you kept it.
Give it to me, why keep
a fake video.
Shut up.
What did you say?
Hypocritical old man.
Why should I give it to you?
If you'd spoken nicely from the start,
I might've handed it over.
Hey, Kang-su.
Seems you've misunderstood me.
About last year's incident,
I'll be honest.
It wasn't me, I never
ordered that.
Ordered what?
Which thing?
Everything you've hidden,
I know it all.
You told me not to touch drugs.
You also wanted to be my big brother?
What kind of brother injects his little brother?
I studied my ass off my whole life,
not to serve
junkies like you!
Let me warn you.
Whatever you're planning,
you'd better stop now.
Or what? You'll kill me?
You know the answer, why ask.
You've experienced it once, right?
Fine.
Just wait and see.
See how it feels to be bitten by a mad dog.
Next time we meet,
hope it's in hell, okay, Big Bro.
Lunatic.
Damn!
Long time no see, beautiful Seoul.
Hey, why didn't you just kill Yeom Tae-su,
why hand him to Sang-jae?
The "MSG" Yeom Tae-su was supposed
to deliver to Yamamoto,
I intercepted it midway.
How many kilos?
25 kilos.
Then Yamamoto will definitely
kill Yeom Tae-su.
That Japanese guy's unstable.
1 kilo equals 100 thousand dollars.
You got 2.5 million dollars.
You hit the jackpot.
What does little brother need from big brother?
Find me a boat to China.
For you and Emperor Sang-jae?
Hey, what reckless thing are you planning?
We'll finish off Prosecutor Gu
then flee Korea.
Prosecutor Gu? Gu Gwan-hee, huh.
Are you high on "MSG"?
You're the one high.
Hurry up with the money and boat.
I'm perfectly sober.
How's our child, Honey?
I have to go on a long assignment.
Don't worry!
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
What now, Boss?
Quiet, can't you see my brain's
working hard?
Ko Chang-rak who died yesterday
lived with Kang-su here before.
If we find the video
Kang-su recorded, we're safe.
Damn it, so annoying.
Should've just handcuffed him that night.
Prosecutor!
What?
Someone's looking for you.
Who?
I'm tailing Lee Kang-su.
I want to help you, Prosecutor,
and make a strong impression.
Seems you need something from me.
That Yeom Tae-su guy.
His territory should be mine.
Tell me where Lee Kang-su is.
He's heading to
Assemblywoman Park Hyun-sook's place.
To deliver videos
and your audio recordings.
Let me go.
Give it to me, no time left.
Then I'll prepare the rest.
Don't fail, this is the last chance.
Everything will be fine, don't be cowardly.
Hey!
Candidate number 2, Yoon Sung-hyup!
Smart voters, prosperous nation!
Vote for candidate number 2, vote number 2!
Vote for candidate number 2, vote number 2!
Candidate number 2, Yoon Sung-hyup!
Please stop!
You can't enter.
I'm Oh Sang-jae
from the Narcotics Unit!
I have something to deliver
to Assemblywoman Park.
We can deliver it for you.
I must hand it over directly.
You can't enter.
Assemblywoman!
Mrs. Park Hyun-sook!
Assemblywoman! Ma'am!
I'm Oh Sang-jae!
Arrest him!
Assemblywoman Park Hyun-sook!
Oh Sang-jae, you're under arrest for
violating the Narcotics Control Act!
Assemblywoman!
I'm Oh Sang-jae!
We're from the prosecution.
Lee Kang-su isn't here.
Made many copies for souvenirs,
Officer Oh?
Good stuff should be shared.
Let all citizens enjoy it.
Where's Lee Kang-su?
He smelled you coming
and fled. We parted ways.
Tonight, in the 3rd Presidential Debate
hosted by the Election Commission,
the drug scandal involving the son of candidate Cho Sang-taek
will be a controversial topic.
Are you sure?
You said:
"Eat while it's hot for best flavor."
But if it's this hot...
Scared?
Bro, turning that sharply could make us crash...
A prosecutor's duty is to investigate crimes.
Just like reporters always
side with the truth.
All for justice.
Sir, there's a problem.
What?
It's... better discussed inside.
There's evidence showing
Cho Hoon used drugs.
If verified, Cho Hoon will...
Damn Prosecutor Gu, still calling Chairman Cho?
Are you insane?
Think bigger picture.
Hey, Gwan-hee.
Damn it, are you messing with me?
Will Chairman Cho Hoon come voluntarily,
or shall I send someone to fetch you?
Huh?
Damn it, you old bastard.
Hey, Reporter Song.
Tell the press Cho Hoon
will turn himself in.
This case is assigned to Chief Prosecutor
Gu Gwan-hee, Anti-Corruption Team 3.
Damn it...
Cho Hoon will appear at
Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office at 9 PM tonight.
Goodness, Prosecutor Gu...
Cunning old fox.
We're colleagues,
if there's a misunderstanding,
we can talk it out.
No need for such heat.
This is your appeal withdrawal letter.
Just fax it to the court,
you'll be found not guilty
at the appeal trial.
You can continue as a police officer.
Finished the charade?
You know what I want.
That Kang-su guy kept
the original and copies, right?
Where is he?
Still laughing at a time like this.
Your daughter's about 6, right?
She looks so sweet.
You should know your place
while I'm still being nice.
Family comes first, right.
What are you doing?
Look up there, at that spot.
We're currently in front of the Prosecutors' Office.
Tonight will be the final debate
among Presidential candidates.
Cho Hoon, son of candidate Cho Sang-taek
from the Future United Party, voluntarily
appeared at Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
How do you feel being called
"national drug addict"?
Are the accusations true?
Please answer, Mr. Cho Hoon.
Anything you want to say?
Never seen reporters
so shy before?
Why not use the basement?
Where's that Gu guy?
Watch your mouth.
Your mouth is getting out of line.
How long will you keep standing?
Have you thought it through?
Give me a cigarette first, then we talk.
Sure, here.
Send the fax first.
Alright.
You, send this fax.
Yes, Sir.
Here, write.
These coordinates?
Thanks, good work.
This is Lee Kang-su's location.
Make sure he goes quietly.
Not like last time.
Go now, no more hesitation! It'll be dark soon!
The lawyer's outside.
Hey! What's wrong?
You can see from here, right?
You want the lawyer to pee for you?
Hey, you need to take a dump?
If not, just pee over there.
Damn it!
Gu Gwan-hee! You damn old geezer!
Damn, so cool!
Now that's what I call "wow".
Mr. Oh Sang-jae!
After you're free, don't cause more trouble.
I do enjoy causing trouble.
What's it to you?
Here we go again.
You know everything,
yet lack self-awareness.
Lawyer Park and I will handle the testimony,
you just rest.
How kind. More merciful than Buddha.
Nice!
Thank you.
By the way, whose urine sample was that?
My deputy team leader's middle school son.
Guaranteed clean.
Results will be negative.
No signs of drug use.
Once the debate ends,
the breaking news will air immediately.
Tomorrow, Park Hyun-sook's
arrest warrant will be issued.
Election day is in a week.
By then, Candidate Yoon's team
won't be able to do anything.
Prosecutor Gu is amazing,
outsmarting even Zhuge Liang.
Oh right, that Song guy...
Reporter Song?
Yeah! That's him!
Can I take him down?
Don't cause more trouble.
His journalism career is finished.
Distributing unauthorized footage
of recorded individuals,
violates Article 14 of the Anti-Sexual Violence Act,
max 7 years imprisonment
or up to 50 million won fine.
Let the law handle him.
Journalists aren't your fathers.
Just because they're reporters,
they think they're equal to prosecutors.
Hello everyone!
Attorney General!
- Gwan-hee, right?
- Yes, Sir.
You'll need to make a small sacrifice.
It's not even murder,
just a bit of "flour", why drag you here...
Sorry for the disturbance, Sir.
I just called your father,
told him not to worry.
We're practically family.
You've done great service.
It's nothing, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
When your father was Chief Special Investigator,
he taught me so much.
If investigations went wrong,
he'd scold me mercilessly.
We're almost there.
That bastard's over there.
Bro, mind if I turn on the TV?
My dad's on.
Can I watch for a minute?
Yeah, go ahead!
Gotta see the debate...
Next is candidate Yoon Sung-hyup.
Remember to ask questions
to at least two candidates.
You may begin.
I'd like to ask
candidate Cho Sang-taek.
Gwan-hee, when will you announce
the investigation results?
Right after the debate ends.
Gotta seize the moment.
Yes, I remember, Sir.
My god, candidate Cho's aura is incredible.
If evidence proves
my son used drugs,
I, Cho Sang-taek,
will immediately withdraw
from the presidential race.
The people have entrusted me.
I will never cease my efforts.
Sorry, Mr. Cho, I'll interrupt briefly.
A video is going viral
on YouTube and social media.
We need to verify this information.
Thank you for understanding.
Kang-su!
I dream of you every night.
Hello...
Boss looking for this?
Tae-su? You worked hard
coming all this way.
You came so fast!
BREAKING NEWS
Breaking news.
A video recording Cho Hoon,
son of candidate Cho Sang-taek
and prosecutor Gu Gwan-hee
is circulating widely.
Is this live?
Whose urine sample was that?
- My deputy's middle school son...
- Deputy Oh!
- ...my deputy's son.
- Why is this on TV?
Deputy Oh!
Results will be negative.
No signs of drug use.
After the debate ends,
breaking news will air immediately.
Tomorrow, Park Hyun-sook's
arrest warrant will be issued.
Just because he's a journalist...
thinks he's equal to prosecutors?
Damn bastard...
Let's go live to the scene.
The man turning around
is Prosecutor Gu Gwan-hee.
Beside him is Cho Hoon,
the candidate's son,
the young man in white.
We're being filmed from behind!
They seem aware of the camera
and are rushing to avoid it.
Close the curtains!
Officials present here,
including the Attorney General,
Close it!
are seen panicking as they leave the room.
Gu Gwan-hee! You damn old geezer!
- Hey, Gu Gwan-hee!
- Curtains are hastily closed.
One, two! One, two!
One, two! One, two!
TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A JUNKIE. HAHA.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S SON
GROVELING BEFORE PROSECUTOR
All curtains are closed now.
SEOUL CENTRAL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
SUSPECTED OF EVIDENCE TAMPERING
Seems empty now...
I can't hear anything anymore.
I hear applause.
Yes, that's applause.
People are still inside.
They haven't all left.
Since curtains are closed,
we only have audio.
Oh, someone just threw something on the floor.
Could this person
have stayed to destroy evidence?
You're watching live coverage!
Listen carefully.
The "Lounge" is next to Gu's office.
Go ahead!
Where all case closures happen.
Should we storm in?
Can't do that.
Call that old fox Gu.
Tell him you'll expose my secret.
Why should I help you this far?!
Prosecutor looking for Lee Kang-su?
It's Oh Sang-jae!
Need to get into the "Lounge".
- Smoke first, then talk.
- This is for you.
But you don't have to enter yourself.
- Investigator.
- Yes.
- You, send this fax.
- Yes, Sir.
Hey.
This lighter's mic
will connect to the camera
when lit.
No smoking lately,
must be stressful.
Have a smoke.
Thanks.
I... have one too.
Kid, matching lighters?
Who says criminals can't be heroes.
You've got a sharp nose.
Made it all the way here?
You traitor!
No, it's not like that.
Damn you!
Do you know how hard I worked
to reach this position...
And you destroyed it?!
You...
Careless, if you don't hold tight, you'll fall.
Falling like this? Maybe your ancestors
can't bear you anymore.
Karma moves faster than 5G!
You!
Stop!
Even if I lose the election.
I've won the people's hearts...
Shut up! Hypocrite!
CANDIDATE CHO SANG-TAEK:
"LOST DUE TO INCOMPETENCE"
Open the door!
My poor father...
- Open the door!
- Won't!
- Get down!
- Down!
You're all still wet behind the ears.
Think you can arrest me!
Hey, hey, don't play crazy.
Wow, he's gone mad...
Snap out of it.
I'm Gao Ranger!
Stop!
Gao White, move out!
Is Prosecutor Gu there?
Prosecutor Gu?
No answer? We're coming in.
Take him away.
I'll go, I'll go.
No, I'm not itchy...
It hurts, not itchy.
