Die!

Ah, sh*t. It's a good thing I ate first.

I needed the strength.

MOUSETRAP

[both breathing heavily]

I still think we should've
gone back to that restaurant.

That as*h*le was right there.

-You really think he would stick around?
-[soft music playing]

And those other guys were there for me,
nothing to do with you.

-What did you do?
-None of your business. [sighs]

sh*t. This is really starting
to get out of hand now.

But how did he know
we were eating lunch there?

Plus at the hotel, too.
I threw my phone away, so how?

Not sure.

Maybe he tailed us.

[sighs]

sh*t. My whole life is falling apart
because of your m*therf*cking sh*t!

f*ck this!

Once I get the money,
then you had better just disappear, okay?

Damn it. [sighs]

Tell me which f*ck' island!

-[Moon-jae sighs]
-Ah…

[Noja] If we go there,
that m*therf*cker better be there too.

At least some trace of him.

[music fades]

[door closes]

Oh, great.

They're both unidentified?

[officer 1] Yes, sir, that's right.

[Sun-yong] Ugh.

f*ck, what's wrong
with the g*dd*mn world today, huh?

Wow, he's f*cked up.

That must've hurt. [sighs]

Hey.

The nurse told me
that you can both hear me.

That as*h*le can't talk,
but you seem fine.

Okay, so who are you sons of b*tches
and why can't we trace you? Huh?

You awake?

Hey, jackass, your eyes are twitching.

Tell me where Noja is, hm?

Tell me that,
and I'll be outta your hair, all right?

You got into an argument in that garage.

Guy walks up and starts
whaling on you for no reason. [chuckles]

Guess you poor b*stards are
really just the victims here.

Huh. Well, I'd be pretty pissed.

Cooperate with me,
and maybe I can help you.

-[jazz music playing]
-[chuckles]

[music fades]

What the hell is going on here?

Oh, hey, that's not what matters here,
believe me.

How come guys in
Criminal Investigations are working this

instead of Violent Crimes?

I mean, look at all this! I'd say
we've still got plenty to handle!

[Chang-u] Ah, this is just gonna be
a big f*ck' headache.

-[Dong-cheol] Ugh.
-It's all 'cause that tip came here.

[Sun-yong] I need you
to find this guy first.

He runs an identity fraud ring.

If you can catch him and shake him down,
Mr. Kim will kiss your a*s.

Hmm.

Well, then? You gonna go?

-Hurry up and bring him in.
-[scoffs]

You really think you're in charge here?

Hey, no one's in charge here.

We're just minions,
haven't you heard? Jesus.

Where are you going?

I'm still working a case.

Jesus, this f*cking guy.

[door opens]

-Hey, Mr. Kim.
-[door closes]

Send that d*ck to Violent Crimes,
why don't you?

It seems like
he loves Violent Crimes, right?

Ugh, pot calling the kettle black, huh?

Ah, sh*t.

[Han-su sighs]

[mysterious music playing]

[Han-su] All right, let's go,
let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!

[music fades]

[slams chips down]

[Han-su] Hey.

[chuckles] What's wrong?

Can't a cop enjoy his f*cking hobby
on his day off? Huh?

We're not doing anything ill*gal.

Huh? What's with the face?

Wait, is this place ill*gal? Huh?

Hey. You go get me the owner.

What's his name, anyway?

I told you, go get the owner,
so get going!

Yes, sir, I'm Kang Myeong-su.
What seems to be the problem here?

-Kang Myeong-su?
-Yes.

Kang Myeong-su?

[inhales]

Your face looks familiar,
but the name doesn't ring a bell.

Have we met before?

-It's our first time meeting.
-Really?

I gotta ask. You got
a Go-Stop table here? Huh?

[chuckles]

Heh. Just what is it you wanted, sir?

Right here…

[chuckles]

Oh, here we go.

CRIMINAL/INVESTIGATION RECORD CHECK
PARK SEUNG-GYU

We could start coming here every day.

We've got nothing but f*cking time, man.

So much f*ck' time. Huh?

[laughing]

[mysterious music playing]

[groaning softly]

He won't last the week, huh?
Terminal liver cancer?

-[Byeong-h*] Yeah.
-Where'd you get him, anyway?

Just at a homeless shelter.
His identity's already been cleaned up.

This guy was born in Korea, but now,

he's just gonna become
another dead immigrant.

[phone buzzing]

Hmm. Myeong-su, hey.

We had officers hanging around here.

Oh, yeah? Cops do sniff around
now and then.

They won't get a warrant, though.
There's no evidence.

They were here asking for you.

Don't come here for now.

-Stay hidden. I'll cover up for you.
-Noja did it, that f*cking jackass.

He's turning on us all.
It's a shitshow. [sighs]

Why the f*ck did you send
such complete idiots to k*ll him?

You made everything harder!

Your stupid a*s
couldn't hire someone decent?

-[sighs]
-[Seung-gyu] For f*ck's sake.

Just forget it. I'll handle it.

You deal with the site for now, that's it!

[man 1] It's stuck? Can't come out?

God, that guy's such a prick. sh*t. [tuts]

Ugh, seriously? He's such an idiot.

That stupid f*ck! What the hell?

Always was a useless son of a b*tch.
I should've just k*lled him.

[breathing shallowly]

-You're going where?
-Look, I'll get him. Won't take long.

[rustling]

[sighs]

You told me to start a fire. I started
a fire, but your guy hasn't crawled out.

Keep turning up the heat.
These guys are partners.

[Dong-cheol] Hey! What do we do?
Just f*ck off?

Yeah, keep working that desk belly.

-[inhales]
-Take Chang-u or Min-h* with you.

-I need someone to keep an eye on you.
-I'd rather work on this alone, all right?

Yeah. Workin' alone's nice.

So take these guys with you.

[Dong-cheol] Uh, Mr. Kim,
can I work alone, too?

[Sun-yong sighs] Fine, newbie, let's go.

[Min-h*] Oh, we're going?

Weren't you listening?
I gotta take someone, so you're it.

DONGBU POLICE STATION

Dumbasses. Take your time.
Stroll over here, just casual as sh*t.

[car door opens]

[Min-h* grunts]

[sighs] So where are we going?

-You been to the beach recently, kid?
-Huh?

Come on, man, take us to the ocean.

[solemn piano music playing]

[faint rumbling]

[music fades]

His parents run this place?

So that lady's gotta be his mom. Right?

[Moon-jae] Hyung, let me handle this.
Stay here.

Your look is kinda…

[sighs]

Oh, you're not?

[woman] Oh, my, no! I'm just the one
who took over the place.

[chuckles]

I did know the old owner, actually.
Quite well.

I was one of his neighbors.

Oh, gosh. He sure went through a lot,

all because of
that troublemaker son of his.

After his father passed away,
that useless kid never came here.

But wouldn't you know it?
As soon as I took over the place,

he suddenly started comin' around!

For the money! That was all.

Um, how long since…

Let's see…

Uh, maybe three or four years ago.

Ah, but stop by the dock.
His friend's working.

Hey, sir?

Hey, sir!

You know a guy round here
named Seo Yu-min?

-Yu-min, huh?
-Yeah.

That guy? Why?

-Uh, I just…
-Hey.

We're detectives, sir, Seoul agency.

KIM YEONG-GEUN
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

Mr Kim may say that, but he's been
worried about you lately, I think.

-He's got other things to concentrate on.
-[chuckles]

You got history together, huh?

Oh, yeah. We've known each other
since before forever.

So you guys must really
understand each other?

[chuckles] Hey.

Yeah, he found a great woman
and she turned him into a human being.

That's the reason they're happy.

Yeah, I bet he picked
a real nice girl to marry.

But then, I'm sure he treats her right.
That's the kinda guy he is.

He is, yeah. He wouldn't
punch walls like some guys do.

And he wouldn't get sued
for divorce either, would he?

Hang on, I wasn't trying
to say that at all!

I was just never cut out
for the family thing, really.

I was an orphan.

And my parents?
I never even knew who they were.

I was just left at an orphanage.

Well, I got adopted for a second there.

[poignant music playing]

g*dd*mn it, then they sent me back.
They didn't want me either.

Back to the orphanage,
then adopted and sent back again.

-Guess a…
-Yeah?

A real family wasn't
in the cards for me, was it?

[Min-h* grunts softly]

That's okay,
you've always got us.

[chuckles] That's a crock of sh*t.

[Min-h*] Hm. Ahem.

The truth is that we're all just strangers
and family is a lie.

And in the end,
people are islands. All alone.

What a mess. I haven't come around lately.

This is Yu-min's place.

Why do you want him, anyway?
He scam someone again?

Oh, so he scammed people around here, too,
it sounds like?

He always borrowed money
and left it a mess.

He at it again?

Yeah, he owes a lot, a hell of a lot.

Man, that's no surprise.

He hasn't been here
for a long time, though.

This place has been empty,

Last year, this guy came
and rented it for a while.

Didn't look like a fisherman.
I think he was some kind of writer.

Now that I think about it,
he looked a lot like you.

Uh, yeah, uh… So did you…
did you see anybody here after that?

No. Back then, Yu-min had his girl
with him, and I didn't. [chuckles]

A girl?

He'd bring her with him
whenever he rolled into town.

The two of them
would always stay here together.

[poignant music continues]

[music fades]

Damn it, what the hell are you doing?

-[Noja sighs]
-Is he gone?

Yeah, he took off.

They haven't been in touch,
don't know where he went.

What now, then?

He said that
he keeps his stuff in the attic.

We should go through it
and see what we can find.

Come on, dumbass, let's pay attention.

Ugh.

Ugh! sh*t.

This Yu-min guy? I bet he really is
The Rat we're looking for.

If those men aren't the same guy,

then how come they're both linked…

[sniffs]

…to a house in the middle of nowhere?

[sniffs]

Hey, come here.

Yeah, this is the rathole here.

sh*t.

[melancholy music playing]

[Noja] g*dd*mn it.

[sniffs]

Ugh.

[Soo-hyun] He said he'd been
preparing this for a long time.

He even changed his voice
to take everything you have.

Didn't I say that?

That everything was planned.

The phone, the broken glass…

even my Da-eun's kidnapping.

[magical chiming]

[distorted sounds]

[low buzzing]

[melancholy music continues]

[chuckles]

[fast heartbeat]

[pills rattling]

[music fades]

-[breathing shakily]
-[Noja] Hey, is this it? Huh?

[clattering]

[Noja] All the stuff he's keeping here?

Oh, check these out!

[Sun-yong] What the hell?

Why the f*ck would you park
this close to the edge?

-[Min-h*] Don't worry about it.
-You hoping I fall in?

Now who am I supposed to ask around here?
Gimme a break.

Hey.

-Excuse me.
-[Min-h*] Police.

Uh… There's someone
we're trying to track down.

[man] Hey, Jeong-bae!

Got detectives here again!

Sounds like there were
other detectives here before us.

[Min-h*] Good evening, sir.

[Sun-yong] Mr. Jeong-bae!
You're Mr. Jeong-bae, right?

[Noja sighs]

What you got there?

Must've been nice.

[jingling]

-[rattling]
-Gimme that.

This is they guy we're looking for?

[Moon-jae] Uh-huh.

sh*t. He's the one?

[sighs]

You won't believe this.

But I already know this guy.

Yu-min? You sure?

[sighs]

[quiet, melancholy music playing]

[bleeping]

[Noja] You're back.

About time.

I've spent a whole month looking for you.

You borrowed money.
You didn't think we'd want it back?

What are you, an idiot?

Better eat.

[grunts]

Sit down. It's ramyeon.
You should really eat some before we go.

[blowing]

[slurping]

-Go where?
-[blows]

To go see the man you owe.

[slurping]

Don't bother trying to run away, okay?

It's cold outside.
Don't make things any harder.

I'm not gonna run.

I can't pay it all back,
but… he'd let me sell my identity, right?

I can't help with that sort of thing.
Ask him about it, okay?

But I made food, so sit down.

[blowing]

[Noja] There were
women's clothes in his house.

Was this her?

There's no way she was staying there.
I was dating Min-yeong.

So who was it that hired you?

The as*h*le that's trying to k*ll us.

My name is Park Seung-gyu.
I'm a former associate of Dong-seok.

Come on. You don't remember?

We've met before.

And Dong-seok?

Damn it. Guess I was
involved at the very start.

What exactly happened
with you and this guy?

We, um…

sort of…

[man] Sorry, excuse me? Anyone home?

[Noja] What the hell?

[Min-h*] It seems like all these
separate cases are connected, huh?

Your tip too, right?

[Sun-yong] Yeah.

I'm confused why they chose you?

That's why I'm busting my a*s
trying to figure this sh*t out.

-No choice, I guess.
-[Min-h*] Huh.

And I've also got a score to settle

with whatever as*h*le
is out there posing as a cop.

-[Min-h* sighs]
-[Sun-yong winces]

-[crickets chirping]
-[Noja] What is it?

[man 1] Oh, hi, uh… We came here to fish,
but I need to use the bathroom.

Sorry, could I please use yours?

You kidding me?
This whole island's a f*cking toilet.

Go and piss wherever the hell you want.

Hah! Yeah, exactly.

[man 2 breathing heavily]

I saw a bathroom just around
the corner back there, right?

-Sure, this way.
-[man 1] Thanks.

You're not from here, are you? [chuckles]

Seoul, actually. We're from Seoul.
Had to take care of something, so…

Huh.

[clattering]

[tense music playing]

-[Noja grunts]
-[man 1 groaning]

[gasps]

-[man 1 groans]
-[Noja] g*dd*mn it.

For a guy who says he came here to fish,

your shoes and your clothes
are all nice and clean.

It looks like you're not here to fish,
you're here to hunt.

-[yelps]
-[Moon-jae gasps]

[whimpers]

-[g*nsh*t]
-[Min-h*] What's that? Someone hunting?

You kidding?

Who would be out here
hunting this late at night?

Hey…

Just follow me and stay alert, all right?

Ugh, sh*t. Damn it.

[breathing heavily]

Ah, sh*t.

[yelps] f*ck!

Damn it. m*therf*cker!

[roaring]

[yells]

[groans]

[gasps]

[Noja grunting]

-[g*nsh*t echoes]
-[Noja screams]

[groaning]

[Moon-jae grunts]

-Hyung! Oh, are you okay?
-[Noja groans]

[Moon-jae] Hyung, oh God, you got…

-Come on.
-[Noja groaning]

[man 1] sh*t.

[man 2 panting]

[tense music playing]

[Moon-jae] Hyung, hurry. Hyung, hurry!

-Mr. Park.
-What is it?

-[Min-h*] Look.
-Huh?

[g*nshots echoing]

[Noja] Ah, sh*t!

[Min-h*] What are you doing?

We should go after them.

-You wanna get shot? Don't be stupid.
-Then what are we doing here?

Great question.

Why the f*ck
are they sh**ting at each other?

Huh? And why are they here?

They must have been looking
for something, but what?

[man] Other unclaimed remains don't
get this attention from the police.

g*dd*mn it.

[music fades]

-[g*nsh*t echoes]
-[both gasp]

-[Min-h*] What?
-You don't have a g*n. Take it easy.

-I could…
-What could you do, huh?

Do you wanna die, dumbass?

Be patient. Call in
and get us local backup.

And block all the bridges
leading to Seoul.

Uh, okay.

[dialing]

[tense, dramatic music playing]

[Noja gasping] Ah, f*ck.

Ah, sh*t!

-Come on, hyung! Hurry up!
-[Noja] Hey, punk.

-[Moon-jae] We need to hurry!
-How far can we run? Come on.

-We're trapped on a damn island here.
-Huh?

Hey, hey. [winces]

-sh*t!
-[rocks rattling]

Running from these guys,
we're not gonna last much longer.

-What?
-[Noja] You just get going.

Run straight ahead.
Crash around and make noise.

-Please, just run.
-Make noise and run!

You're the bait, you idiot! [panting]

Run already, dumbass!

g*dd*mn it, kid.

[music intensifying]

[man 2 grunts]

[yells]

[men grunting]

Hyung! Are you okay?

sh*t. [grunts]

Jesus.

[grunts]

We better get off this island fast.

[wheezes] We're f*cked
the longer we stay here.

[groans]

-[Noja winces]
-Oh, God, it's really bleeding.

-That's not good.
-Hey, it just grazed me, all right?

It's nothing serious.

-We're going to the hospital, right?
-Shut your hole already! Jesus.

Hey, you stopped earlier, tell me.
What exactly happened with that guy?

[Moon-jae and Min-yeong giggling]

[Min-yeong] Mmm.

-Mmm!
-[Moon-jae] Mmm.

[wistful music playing]

-How about another beer?
-One more's fine, right?

-Uh-huh!
-[Moon-jae] Just one more.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs]

[Yu-min] Min-yeong sure as hell
looks out for you.

I'm kinda jealous.

[Noja] Wait, he was jealous?

You're saying he's jealous,
that's why he's coming at you?

He was jealous of what? I don't get it!

[tense music playing]

Min-yeong, the girl, she chose me instead.

So he's been trying
to destroy you over a girl?

There's a man dead already! [sighs]

Hey, kid. Don't f*ck around with me.

There's more to it than that, isn't there?

[sirens blaring]

Do they know about the island?
How'd they find us out here?

It's the car.
That makes the most sense to me.

They put a tracker on it.

And whoever put the tracker on this car
knows what that Rat is really after here.

'Cause I turned The Rat over to that guy.

All right, g*dd*mn it, let's go to Seoul.

[snarls]

[music fades]

[sirens approaching]

Jesus, they got here quick.
Here comes the cavalry.

Hey. Our suspects are gone.

Let's just leave it to them. Come on.

Where to? Seoul?

Got a lead to check out. Let's go.

-[banging]
-[man 1] What was that?

-What was that?
-[commotion]

[man 2] What's happening?

[officers shouting]

[Han-su] Bring that here!

[man 3] Block the entrance!
Hurry, do it!

You, get the bolt cutters, move!

[Dong-cheol] Let's go, open up!

-[officer 1] Hi, guys!
-[gasping and screaming]

[officer 1] Party's over. [grunts]

-[Han-su] Everybody shut up. Freeze!
-[Dong-cheol] Stay right where you are!

-[officer 1] Stay in your seats!
-[officer 2] Don't move!

-[officer 1] Freeze! Hands up!
-[officer 3] Where are you going, huh?

[Han-su] All right, guys,
just stop there. Stop.

-Quiet!
-[silence falls]

-[Han-su] Ah.
-[rustling]

You're going through a lot,
thanks to your associate.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT

Where is he? Your partner?

-Haven't got one, sorry.
-[laughs]

I know you've got a partner, okay?

I'll find him for you.

Oh, and I might… start poking
around your gambling website, too.

Maybe that'll help.

-Let's go.
-Let's find your partner.

-All right? Move.
-[officer 1] Let's go.

Go, go, go. Come on!

-Over here.
-[officer 2] Here!

-[officer 1] Get over here.
-[officer 2] Keep going.

-[officer 1] Yes, you'd better.
-[officer 2] Get over here! Come on!

[horn blaring]

["El Holandes Errante" by Wagner playing]

-[officer 1] Thank you, sir.
-[man] Good night.

[officer 1] Excuse me, we need
to conduct a quick inspection.

Excuse me, we need
to conduct a quick inspection.

Appreciate it, sir.

Excuse me, we need
to conduct a quick inspection.

[suspenseful music playing]

Drive safe, sir.

Excuse me, we need
to conduct a quick inspection.

Thanks so much.

Keep me in the loop
if you get more information.

Okay. Got it.

-[Sun-yong] What is it?
-[sighs]

So, out in the woods, they apparently
found a guy who was shot to death.

He's unidentified, though.

They lost Noja, too.

[scoffs]

[Min-h*] There have been
so many unidentified bodies lately.

I used to just assume they were
unclaimed remains or ill*gal immigrants.

-You know?
-Do you really exist?

[Min-h*] Huh?

How do I really know who you are?
Prove it to me.

[sighs] Really?

-How about my ID, that work?
-Could've forged that.

Well, call my mother, then.

Wow, you're an as*h*le.

You know I've got no parents.

Your "mother" could actually be
an actress you hired, couldn't she?

Even your birth certificate,

your school paperwork,
records in the military.

Computers store, all that sh*t now.
It can be forged.

We used to keep hard copies of records

and it was a hell of a lot easier
to track it all.

And all the dust that years leave behind
can't be faked like a screenshot.

-Hey, stay focused.
-Yeah, okay.

[woman 1] Hey, I said don't touch me!
I can walk fine on my own, God!

[officer 1] Just keep it moving!
You! Get in the back!

-[man 1] Hold on a sec!
-[woman 1] I said don't touch me!

-I'll walk on my own.
-[Dong-cheol] Get in the car.

-[officer 1] Hey, get over here!
-[sighs]

sh*t.

-[Sun-yong] What?
-[doctor] We already cremated her.

This is an ongoing investigation.

-[doctor] Who's investigating it?
-We are!

Then I guess you should have
mentioned that, right?

You took a quick look,
and then you just left.

The police said there was no foul play.
The body wasn't ID'd.

Cremation is how
we handle these situations.

There are about 3,000 unclaimed bodies
nationwide each year.

We need to cremate them to make room.

Hey, f*ck you, doc. You can't
bullshit your way out of this one.

Nothing you did makes sense.
Why all the rush to cremate her? Huh?

-[yelps]
-Uh…

-[doctor whimpering]
-How much, then? Huh?

What'd they pay you?
f*ck, you're hiding something. Tell me.

sh*t, stop! Let me go! What the hell?

-You little--
-Please stop. The man's a doctor.

-[grunts]
-sh*t!

-Let's go. Come on, let's go.

[Sun-yong] Get off me! f*ck!

[doctor sighs]

[Sun-yong] sh*t.

g*dd*mn it.

AUTOPSY REPORT
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE

-Hey.
-Yeah?

Look here. It's the same woman.
Where and when was she found?

Uh… Han River bank.
On the 15th, near Goyang.

She likely drowned
four to five days prior to discovery.

[Sun-yong] Hmm.

[paper rustling]

-[Min-h* sniffs]
-What?

It's just, this is a fishing zone.
I live near here.

So what are you saying?

I don't think she'd have drifted there.

It's all blocked by fishing nets.

[suspenseful music playing]

We better check.

[Seung-gyu] Are you serious?
He's already back in Seoul, you dumbass.

Get the job done already.
I'm gonna send the address over.

Hey. Forget about the dead guy,
you f*cking moron.

They can't trace it to us anyway.

That m*therf*cking…

-Send him the location.
-Okay.

[Seung-gyu] Homeless f*ck,
Jesus Christ.

What the f*ck do they have to lose?
Let's be bold, g*dd*mn it.

[techno music playing outside]

[sighs] That damn lawyer
used to be a warrant judge,

and he guaranteed the cops wouldn't
actually get a warrant for us, right?

So why'd I pay
the lying little prick all that money?

Huh? Hey, how much did that f*ck
drink when he'd come here?

And he'd always expect a second round!

f*cking jackass. sh*t…

This is all really f*cked up.
I think we should lay low.

[winces]

[sighs]

All right!

[Noja] Where are you going?

Hmm?

[sighs]

[drops lollipop]

Put that away and sit down, m*therf*cker.

[Byeong-jun] sh*t!

[grunts] sh*t!

[groaning]

Noja, what are you doing here?

Weren't you in Yeongdeungpo?
I… I thought that--

Some f*ck planted a tracker
or something on my car, turns out.

So I took a taxi over here instead.

Hang on, so how did you know where I am?

No matter where you try to hide,
nine times out of ten,

chances are I know someone there.

It's why you hire me
to track down scumbags.

[Seung-gyu grunts]

So where is he?

-Huh?
-g*dd*mn it, Noja, hang on.

That's not what matters right now, okay?

Remember what I said?
Keep your head down and lay low.

Myeong-su got popped.
We're f*cked, all of us.

We… we gotta disappear,
or we'll be dragged into this sh*t.

-[Noja grunts]
-[Seung-gyu yelps and groans]

sh*t! b*stard.

Tell me what I wanna know.

Ah, sh*t.

It was around three years back, I'd say.

When I brought you that young guy,
the kind of girly one.

He ran off after borrowing money from you.
Do you remember him?

-g*dd*mn, it was snowing all night long?
-Ugh… sh*t, man…

-He was Seo Yu-min, right? Seo Yu-min.
-[sighs]

[faint rumbling]

[Seung-gyu] I told you to pay me back,

but you had the ba*ls
to ask for more money.

You must wanna die.

That's okay with me.

[Seung-gyu scoffs] What's wrong
with this guy?

Hey. I'm not gonna k*ll you yet.

You're not off the hook
till you repay your debts.

Then you can buy my identity.
I'll sell it to you.

[Seung-gyu sighs]

And if I buy it? What good
is that money gonna do?

You'll be a nobody then.

[gasps] He took something dear to me.

And I can't just let him
walk away with everything.

[sighs]

[Noja] Where is he?

All right, then.

Hang on, damn it!
You can meet him, all right?

I'll f*cking arrange it for you.
Jesus Christ.

m*therf*cker.

sh*t, if you really
wanna meet that guy, then…

-Stupid f*ck!
-[Noja] sh*t.

[Seung-gyu groaning]

-[choking]
-Shithead. What else did he say?

-[rasps]
-Hmm?

[melancholy chamber music playing]

[Moon-jae and Min-yeong laughing]

Hey. Think you're
in a music video or what?

You two finally doing it?

You've had enough. You're drunk.

[sighs]

[Noja sighs heavily]

Let's go.

I found him.

[mouse and keyboard tapping]

Stop there. Rewind. Rewind.

[melancholy music continues]

What in the hell happened?

[birdsong]

DATE OF INTERMENT: FEB 10, 2023
NAME: SEO YU-MIN

He sold his identity, 'cause the b*stard
didn't have any money.

So I bought it from him, all right?

And then he k*lled himself,
less than ten days later.

That's the truth.

[choking]

How could I have known

that b*stard who sold
his identity and got the cash

would throw in the towel like that?

Stupid m*therf*cker that k*lled himself
didn't give me his identity first.

So I lost our money.

[sighs]

-He said that he k*lled himself?
-Yeah.

But how do we know for sure
this is the right guy, anyway?

Look at the date.
He was born August 1994. It's him.

Oh, really? [clicks tongue]

Then if he died two years back,

guess we've just been chasing shadows.

[poignant music playing]

[sighs]

So she was k*lled, then.

[keyboard tapping]

Who the hell

is this m*therf*cker?

The dead don't have much to say,

but even though he's dead,
this son of a b*tch won't shut up.

[sighs]

[Moon-jae sighs]

[phone buzzes]

What the hell's goin' on now?

"THE RAT"
AUTHOR EVENT & BOOK SIGNING

[dramatic music playing]

This was yesterday.

[Noja gasps]

[woman] Thank you for joining us today

to celebrate the publication of The Rat,
the highly anticipated…

[Noja] Wow, he really nailed it.

I guess he really is Je Moon-jae now.

He's become… you.

[buzzing]

-Hey.
-[gasps]

Where are you?
Why are you doing this to me?

[The Rat] Hey, did you find him?

-What? Got the wrong guy?
-[nail clipper snipping]

Ugh…

You went to the wrong place?
I told you to find yourself first, okay?

Hey, where are you? Let's meet and talk.

Okay? I'll come to you.

Nah, I got somewhere else to go today.

No, no. Where are you? Just tell me
and I'll… I'll come over there.

Why would I want to see you?

-Please, wait.
-[sighs]

Gimme a minute. Is that a good idea?

Well it's okay with me,
but I don't think you should know.

It's actually better if you don't.

Hey, I said I can go over,
so just tell me where.

I'll come to you.
Where the hell are you, you b*stard?

Hey, it's not like that, okay?
'Cause this is serious.

DONGBU POLICE STATION

[The Rat] Some guy got plastic surgery
to look just like me.

They gotta catch this impersonator.

I've already set up an alibi
and witnesses and everything on my end,

but what are you gonna do?

Guess you must regret
becoming a miserable hermit.

You can't do this, you f*ck!

[chuckles]

[The Rat's laughter echoing]
