[bunniefuu]

- [man whistling]

- [pensive music playing]

[Yeong-do] Damn.

[sighs]

Oh. [chuckles]

[sighs]

I really like this place

because it's got this…

[clicks tongue]

…beautiful view, right?

For no good reason, though.

- [chuckling]

- There are too many eyes up here, though.

All right.

Forgive me

if this makes you uncomfortable, yeah.

I was here visiting

another young friend of mine, so…

[chuckling]

[inhales deeply]

[exhales] Now Bongsan

is finally over and done with.

Chairman Lee made a tough decision

this time.

So now I'm thinking that you should

finally come to a decision yourself.

I need a little more time.

Your father is not an easy mark

by any means.

If you drag your feet,

you'll lose the opportunity.

Well, the choice is yours.

Do you want to stay an outsider, a misfit,

who doesn't belong anywhere?

Huh?

Or maybe…

[sighs]

…do you wanna be

the new ruler of the square?

[music pulsates intensely]

[opening theme music playing]

MERCY FOR NONE

[Yeong-do humming]

[car beeps]

[unsettling music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, for f*ck's sake.

I thought you were dead.

Wow, Lee Ju-woon,

that f*cking b*stard. Huh?

Hey, wait, wait.

You're not thinking clearly

because of your brother-- [grunts]

[Yeong-do groaning]

Damn it!

[choking]

- [running footsteps approach]

- [blow thuds]

[grunts, pants]

[Gi-jun grunts, groans]

[winces]

[panting]

[dark music playing]

It's been a while.

[vehicle approaching]

[vehicle departing]

- [music intensifies]

- [both grunting]

[car alarm chirps]

[police radio beeps]

[attacker sighs]

[indistinct police radio chatter]

See you later.

[attacker sighs]

[chuckles softly]

- [police radio beeps]

- [officer 1 on radio] On your way?

[officer 2] We're ten minutes out.

- [police radio beeps]

- [indistinct police radio chatter]

[exhales heavily]

[tense music playing]

Holy sh*t.

I almost went to be

with the Lord Jesus f*ck' Christ.

[laughing]

[sighs]

Nam Gi-jun. Oh…

So that b*stard

is as crazy as they say, huh?

[laughing]

DIRECTOR LEE JU-WOON

Why did you do that,

you silly m*therf*cker?

[Seong-won] So, you want me to track down

the guy who took off in this car?

- [clicking mouse]

- Is that it?

This is the last one.

Then you'll never see me again.

[taps phone on desk]

[blows air]

Listen, Gi-jun.

[inhales]

You know how this f*cking loser

managed to survive this long?

[pensive music playing]

I possess a talent

for knowing which job to take

and which to pass, hm?

Look, this is a terrible idea.

There's no way I'm doing this.

You said the guy's a cop.

You'll be in deep sh*t

if you mess with all of that.

But when it was Gi-seok,

you decided to take that job, right?

PLANNING AND BUDGET DEPARTMEN

SUPERINTENDENT CHA YEONG-DO

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

Yeah?

- Aren't you heading out?

- I've still got some work to catch up on.

Go on ahead.

- Yes, sir. See you tomorrow.

- Mm, have a good night.

[line ringing]

[Yeong-do] Hey. I got to meet Nam Gi-jun,

thanks to you.

[sighs] Well, I've gotta say,

this isn't like you,

pulling this kind of bullshit thing

behind my back.

[sighs] We should meet sometime soon.

[phone beeps]

[automated voice]

To play the message again…

[exhales heavily]

Aren't you working?

I heard you called for a board meeting.

That's where I'm going, instead of you.

Can you repeat that? You're going?

[inhales] I don't even know

where to begin with all this.

[tense music playing]

When I first met Mr. Kim,

and we said we'd change

the whole game together?

Or maybe

the moment I decided that I'm taking over?

Are you out of your g*dd*mn mind?

Cha Yeong-do is a crazy b*stard.

You don't even know!

Why are you blaming him?

All of this happened

because you pushed me out.

You idiot! This position? This life?

It's a nightmare every single day!

Everything I've done, I did it for you!

No, my son shouldn't have

to live like this, you b*stard!

[scoffs]

That's what you want.

Not what I want.

You know,

I've always wanted to be like you.

I wanted to take your place.

I've been working toward my vision.

But you?

You were just planning

to hand it over to someone else.

[paper rustling]

[ominous music playing]

NAME: LEE JU-WOON

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRAN

APPLICATION

- [paper thuds]

- You little sh*t!

You think you can stop me

with that g*dd*mn warrant?

You think that Shin and Park

are gonna pay attention to you?

If they won't…

[exhales shakily]

…I'll make them pay attention.

Just watch me.

[Seong-cheol] We should get going.

Sir, I'm sorry.

[door closes]

[Yeong-do] Mm.

Hey, Mr. An. Yeah.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

Are you prepared to even the score

with Nam Gi-jun now?

[intriguing music playing]

You should take my car there.

[engine revving]

Nam Gi-jun will find you on his own.

AUTHORIZED VEHICLES ONLY

[computers beeping]

[Graveyard operator]

Huh? Ma'am, come take a look!

[cell phone vibrates]

[sighs]

[Seong-won] Hey, I found the cop.

I just texted you the address.

Yeah, all right.

But Gi-jun,

how far are you gonna go with this?

It needs to end.

Completely.

[music fades out]

- [executive 1] What's he doing here?

- [executives murmuring]

JUWOON

[sighs]

[executives continue murmuring]

[Geum-son sighs]

Gentlemen… I look forward

to working with you from now on.

[pensive music playing]

[executive slams table]

[exhales incredulously]

I see what's happening here now.

You thought you'd get

Seong-cheol on your side

and start a coup or something.

Listen here, sir.

You're wasting your time.

While you were sitting at your desk

reading your little books,

we were out there staring death

in the face with Chairman Lee.

No one here even considers you…

as one of us.

Anybody who cannot accept this

is welcome to leave.

[executive 2] What are you all doing?

Let's go.

[door opens]

[executives murmuring in displeasure]

[Director Park, faintly] What do you think

you're doing? Get outta my way!

b*stards.

[Director Park screaming]

[executives murmur worriedly]

I'm not like my father.

My father never wanted

to get his old hands dirty.

It's really not a problem for me.

I'm not afraid

to get my hands dirty

if that's what it takes.

[ominous music playing]

[safe beeping, lock releases]

[music intensifies, fades]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, Tae-hwan.

Why did you do it?

Eleven years ago…

Why didn't you just k*ll me then?

[dark music playing]

f*ck.

This is humiliating.

- [music intensifies]

- [both grunting]

[both panting]

[blade clatters]

We should end this.

- [blades slicing]

- [both grunting]

[blade clatters]

[Tae-hwan panting]

Pick it up.

- [blades resume slicing]

- [both grunting]

[Tae-hwan panting]

- [blades slicing]

- [both grunting]

- [flesh squelches]

- [Tae-hwan panting]

- [flesh squelches]

- [Tae-hwan grunts]

[panting]

- [grunts]

- [blow thuds]

[Tae-hwan breathing weakly]

Can we end this?

[laughs softly]

[grunts]

[both grunt]

Don't you see?

You should've k*lled me then.

- [Gi-jun choking]

- [Tae-hwan grunts]

[both straining]

[blade scrapes floor]

- [blade thrusts]

- [Tae-hwan groaning]

[blade thrusts]

[Tae-hwan panting]

[Tae-hwan moans]

Son of a b*tch.

Humiliated to the very end.

[blood squelches]

[blood trickling]

[breathing weakly]

Gi-jun.

In this world…

it never ends

until we're all dead.

[somber music playing]

I know.

[Tae-hwan groaning weakly]

Go and…

[line ringing]

…find him.

MR. KIM

CALLING…

[door opens]

[door closes]

[ominous music playing]

Welcome in.

So this is how it ends.

Certainly looks like it.

So then,

do you regret it?

Doing what you've done?

[scoffs]

[chuckles softly]

Your selfishness is impressive,

you know that? Hm?

You had chances to make things right.

But you never did, even though

you knew everything.

Why?

Because it was too sweet.

Because you didn't want

to lose everything you had.

[unsheathes blade]

You're bloodying your own hands?

Well, you know,

this wasn't part of the plan.

But letting you draw breath is a risk

I'm not willing to take.

You get it.

Oh, and don't worry about

your prosecutor son.

I'll take good care of him.

You've made an awfully huge mistake

bringing Geum-son into this.

Have I?

- Well, I'm not so sure about--

- [g*n c*ck]

Yeah.

Just calm down.

You f*ck.

[coughs]

- [g*n fires]

- [Ju-woon coughing]

You little…

[Ju-woon choking]

[g*n c*ck]

[both straining]

- [g*n fires]

- [both groaning]

[both grunting]

[yells]

[tires screech]

- [engine turns off]

- [door opens]

[panting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades out]

You all right, sir?

[unsettling music playing]

[ominous sting]

[man, faintly] Don't move!

[sounds muffle]

- [sounds resume]

- [officer on radio] We're on our way.

- [panting]

- [sirens approaching]

[man] You're under arrest

on suspicion of Lee Ju-woon's m*rder.

Ju-woon.

[man] Anything you say can and will

be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right

to speak to an attorney.

[Yeong-do] And you have the right

to remain silent.

- [man] Wait outside.

- [Yeong-do] Boy, what happened here?

[handcuffs clicking]

Why did you do this? Huh?

So we meet again, and so soon.

Hm?

What is it?

Feel wronged?

[breathing heavily]

[quietly] Yeah.

[pensive music playing]

[siren wailing]

[yells]

- [g*n fires]

- [blood squelches]

[panting]

[groans heavily, panting]

[grunting] Oh sh*t.

[breathing shakily]

Ugh, he's so strong for an old man.

sh*t. [grunts]

[panting] You see what happened?

Why did you have to do this?

Huh?

Why couldn't you just look the other way?

[grunts]

You could've… just turned a blind eye.

[grunts angrily]

That's what you've been doing

for the last ten years! g*dd*mn it.

[strained grunting]

All because of your damn kid.

[panting]

That's it, then.

Don't worry about…

[through headphones] …your little boy.

[panting]

For f*ck's sake.

[foreboding music playing]

And our plan

simply wouldn't have been possible

without you.

Eleven years ago,

and now.

Is that why you did it?

[Yeong-do inhales]

Did you k*ll

Gi-seok…

to get to me?

[scoffs]

[chuckles, clicks tongue]

Well, that's certainly how it played out.

But even without our plan,

your brother would've died anyway.

Why?

Because once Lee Ju-woon picked him

as his successor,

Nam Gi-seok would've

only had two choices then.

Either die,

or take the throne.

[laughs]

You haven't asked.

When I said "our plan,"

I dropped a little hint for you.

Hm?

Don't you wanna know?

The second person…

Who that could be?

[dark tones play, fade out slowly]

Sir. SIU.

Here. Nam Gi-jun's case.

We're taking it over,

and we'd appreciate your cooperation.

[uneasy music playing]

[tires screech]

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

NO ENTRY

Is this where I die?

[music intensifies]

- [handcuffs rattle]

- [men grunting, shouting]

[tires screeching]

- [men shouting, clamoring]

- [blows thudding]

You little sh*t!

[g*n c*ck]

[g*n firing]

[tires screech]

[men grunting]

[g*n fires]

- [g*n fires]

- [tires screeching]

[man grunts]

[grunting continues]

Let go!

Let go!

- [tires screech]

- [engine revving]

[metal crashing]

[Gi-jun groans]

[grunts weakly]

[moaning in pain]

[groans]

[man grunting]

b*stard. [groans]

You're so dead, you piece of sh*t.

- [engine revving]

- [body thuds]

[vehicles approaching]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Seong-won grunts]

[exhales]

[scoffs] Come on,

can't you at least act surprised?

How did you find me here?

Cha Yeong-do called

and asked us to clean this place up.

He said something like

if I took care of you,

there'd be something in it for me.

sh*t, I don't know.

So then,

why are you helping me?

[Seong-won sighs]

Sim Seong-won just called.

He says Nam Gi-jun

is confirmed dead at the scene.

What's the angle?

A car accident happened

during the transfer.

Okay.

You're dismissed.

[sighs] Son of a b*tch.

Making a living is damn hard. [laughing]

Cha Yeong-do is a manager

in the Planning and Budget Department.

Quite a cushy position.

CHA YEONG-DO, MANAGER

What's unusual is

that when someone reaches that level,

they usually either move up

or get reassigned within a few years.

But this clown?

He's been stuck in that spot

for 11 years now.

[chuckles] Well, he didn't

go to the National Police University,

so he probably

just decided to stay where he is.

So he's been covering

for Juwoon and Bongsan

for the last 11 years.

[Seong-won] Mm-hmm.

You haven't answered my question yet.

Why are you helping me?

[Yang-sik] Guys, we'll be here all night

at this rate. Pick up that pace.

You could get yourself k*lled.

You're right. [laughing]

Oh, right.

Here.

Take this burner. It's safe to use.

And…

[plastic crinkling]

Here. It's Lee Ju-woon's pipe.

It means something to you, right?

Listen.

I'm leaving the country

before I get caught up in this sh*t.

You know what I mean, right?

Well, go on.

[exhales heavily]

[g*n fires]

[Yeong-do panting]

[panting heard through phone]

That's it, then.

Don't worry about your little boy.

- [unsettling music playing]

- [breathing shakily]

I'll take care of it, right away.

No, not yet.

Cha Yeong-do's got

confidential information

on the organization.

It's important we get to it first.

[inhales]

SEIZE AND SEARCH WARRAN

CHA YEONG-DO

[music darkens ominously]

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

[investigators chattering indistinctly]

All right, let's go.

[suspenseful music playing]

Central District Prosecutors' Office.

All right, let's pick up the pace, people.

Don't leave anything on the floor.

No one can get in touch with him.

[investigator 1] Ugh.

Guess he's picked up on it.

All right, make sure to take everything.

- Leave nothing behind.

- [investigators clamoring]

Look,

if Cha Yeong-do doesn't turn up,

this is going to be on you.

[investigators chattering indistinctly]

What's going on here?

Come on, let's move!

- [investigator 2] Come on, that's enough.

- Ugh, you've gotta be f*cking kidding me.

- [phone ringing]

- [whistling]

Hi, what's up?

[man] Sir, you can't come

into the office right now.

The prosecution is doing

a search and seizure.

- Sir? Sir?

- Oh, g*dd*mn it.

[tires screeching]

[line ringing]

Hello, Mr. Lee.

What's going on? You went behind my back?

I told you before, I do what I have to do.

What the fu--

[exhales, laughs]

Listen.

I'm not sure what your endgame is here.

I just think it's best

to leave it alone, yeah?

Things have been going well.

The f*ck are you doing right now?

Did you really think I wouldn't find out?

- [tires screech]

- [brake clicks]

My father

wasn't k*lled by Nam Gi-jun.

I told you I needed more time,

but you just couldn't wait, could you?

Uh… wait, Mr. Lee.

I think there's a little misunderstanding.

Oh, really?

That's how you must operate, I guess.

You make people misunderstand each other,

cause conflicts, and start fights.

Look, can we, uh, meet

and talk face-to-face? Huh?

Maybe next time.

If there is a next time.

[call ends]

[drops phone]

sh*t.

[automated voice]

This phone is turned off.

You will be directed to voicemail

and charged at the beep.

[Yeong-do] Hey, as*h*le.

I told you to call me back.

You wanna get back

on the Interpol wanted list? Huh?

Get back to me right now.

[call ends]

[sighs] Is Mr. Cha upset about something?

Why don't we just cut to the chase?

It's not gonna do us any good

to keep meeting like this.

Kaneyama.

That's your real name, right?

You're a hitman from Shimane Prefecture.

Korean-Japanese also named Kim Gil-lok.

Interpol wanted you,

but Cha Yeong-do gave you a new identity,

and you've been working in tandem

ever since.

But I think the truth is,

he's using you for his means, right?

I'll help you settle down in Korea.

Not as Kaneyama or Shimane,

but as Kim Gil-lok.

And why

would you do that for me?

Because I need you to k*ll for me,

Mr. Kim Gil-lok.

[Seong-won, on phone]

I've tracked down Cha Yeong-do's men.

Follow their car,

and you'll be able to find him.

This is the last thing I can do for you.

[somber music playing]

[club hits golf ball]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Yeong-do] You got the stuff?

[man] I just picked it up. I'm on my way.

[Yeong-do] Keep an eye out for any tails.

[man] Yes, sir. I'll be there soon.

[cell phone clatters]

That g*dd*mn little brat. Hm.

MERCY FOR NONE

[Yeong-do] You're Chairman Lee's son,

so how did you find me?

8 MONTHS EARLIER

No, better yet, why did you?

PLANNING AND BUDGET DEP

INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION PLAN

The internal affairs team is putting

together an investigation into you.

I can take care of it if you want.

Wow, you're playing hardball, huh?

So, go on.

What do you want?

A role.

A role?

I want to unite Juwoon and Bongsan

and sit at the top.

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

What's the plan?

You willing to do it my way?

Oh, no.

I have a plan.

We'll use Gu Jun-mo

and make him take out Nam Gi-seok.

You wanna start a w*r

between Juwoon and Bongsan

by k*lling Nam Gi-seok?

[sighs] That sounds pretty risky

to my ears, hm?

What worries me most is Nam Gi-jun.

I'm sure he'll retaliate in some way.

[suspenseful music intensifies]

There's something my father

would say to me all the time.

He'd say there are things

he wants but can't have.

However, there's no limit

to anything that I wanted.

The thing is,

he never even bothered to ask me

what I actually wanted.

So I'll say this again.

I want both Juwoon and Bongsan.

The two of them, understand?

[door opens]

[Geum-son, on recording]

We'll use Gu Jun-mo

and make him take out Nam Gi-seok.

[device rewinding]

So I'll say this again.

I want both Juwoon and Bongsan.

The two of them, understand?

LEE JU-WOON

GU BONG-SAN

LEE GEUM-SON

We'll be a team, won't we,

Mr. Prosecutor?
