A follower in Daegu
sends these to me every month.
This batch is particularly crunchy
and sweet too.
Try some.
Just cut to the chase.
I came here on business.
[Jeon] Your soul is angry, Brother Kang.
Calm down and relax a little. [chuckles]
I'd like to see you calm down
if you'd lost your fortune,
and been sent to prison
for a crime you didn't commit.
Would you be able to relax?
[exhales] And
why did you have to k*ll Eungsoo?
[chuckles]
It's hard to accept
that God's plan involves the death
of the ones we love, isn't it?
[exhales] You're so full of sh*t.
That makes no sense.
I think the point of our conversation
was to find out why you came back here.
Forget about your friend and answer me.
I wanna know why you're not back in Korea.
Let's hear it.
You bankrupted us.
Our money's all gone.
I intend to make money before I go.
I'm just going to be trading cocaine
instead of skate.
[chuckles] The cops throw you in jail
and now you decide
you want to be a drug lord?
I can't go back to Korea
with nothing to give to my kids.
This sh*t is the result
of some overzealous as*h*le screwing me.
The only decision I made
was to try to survive.
Oh, thank you, Marina. [chuckles]
Cocaine sure can make someone rich.
It's just to move product out of Suriname
you need my resources.
Chen Zhen has his own resources.
Turns out Mr. Hot Pot
is a bit of a dealer too.
And he doesn't hide behind bibles
and bullshit. He's a straight sh**ter.
Chen Zhen deals meth, not cocaine.
The crap he sells in synthetic.
Nothing in meth is of God's making.
It's like Satan's phlegm.
But cocaine
is a true gift of nature
sent by the Savior for us.
Anyone who wants this special gift
in all of Suriname
comes through the pastor.
Pastor, my a*s. Anyway, I don't need you.
Chen Zhen can supply me all the product.
[chuckling]
You actually think
that punk can play at this level?
The meth market
is nothing like the cocaine market.
He won't get you sh*t.
Anything he showed you
was scraped together from my network.
If you pay retail, it'll cost you.
You'll barely have a dime left over.
[Ingu] Hmm.
Hmm?
If you work
with that small-time meth dealer,
all you'll ship to Korea is his junk.
And there's no way
you'll make a decent margin.
Forget him.
I'm giving you cold, hard facts.
I don't lie about numbers.
[sucks teeth]
[exhales]
[theme music playing]
- [mobile chimes]
- [line ringing]
- [Sangman] Hello?
- Hey, Sangman?
[Changho] Ingu. What's up, man?
How's the food over there?
Your Chinese buddy feeding you all right?
I would've never imagined
people could have such strange appetites.
I think we could have
a diplomatic conflict on our hands.
We can never agree on lunch.
We've been in conflict with China
for at least 5,000 years, remember?
You can't expect to fix that
with a take-out menu.
Fight over money, not food.
Oh yeah, sure.
But I'm fighting for money, not over it.
I found someone
who distributes what we're looking for.
He's a fellow Korean.
He's with me right now.
I think you should talk.
All right, sure. Go ahead. Put him on.
All yours.
Sangman, is it?
This is Pastor Jeon.
I run a church here in Suriname.
Glad to hear it, Pastor Jeon.
It's always good to have
the same interests in both business,
and our religious pursuits.
I work for my church as well.
God's call can not be ignored, can it?
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
It certainly can't. Amen to that.
I would love to continue
on this spiritual exploration,
but I have questions.
Lots of them.
The first one being how can you guarantee
the goods traveling from here to Korea
won't be intercepted?
Ah. Surely you understand
that I can't reveal my inner operations.
However, what I can tell you
is that US forces in Korea
eat boat loads of chicken,
and that around 60% of it
gets imported from Brazil.
If the merchandise travels
with the chicken,
it'll go straight to Itaewon and Gangnam
without any customs inspection.
[breathes deeply]
Your plan definitely sounds intriguing,
but I think conversations of this nature
are best conducted in person. Don't you?
Let's arrange a meeting soon.
These things
are best discussed face-to-face.
[inhales]
[Changho] Great minds
think alike, Pastor Jeon.
I prefer meeting in person,
only I'm booked solid now.
I don't have time to fly to Suriname.
Would you be able
to meet me here in Brazil?
You can be sure
I would make it worth your while
for you to come down.
It's a fun place to do business.
I do like that area.
I'm overdue for a change
of scene and fresh air,
only I have church services.
And my loyal congregation really expects
to see me there, you know?
[inhales]
Uh-huh. I understand.
And I try to put my service to the church
on the same pedestal.
Forgive my transgression, Pastor.
Is it at all possible
to free up a few days
to come visit us instead?
Where there's a will,
there's a way, Pastor.
Sorry?
I'll cancel a few things on my schedule.
It's only right I come to you.
I'll advise you of when I can be there.
[Jeon] Hallelujah!
God would approve. [chuckles]
Give Ingu all the details of your arrival,
then I'll show you how we do business.
Hey, Sangman.
You're coming here? Did I hear right?
[Sangman] Don't sound so surprised.
Hey, remember what I said.
Anything to make this work, man.
What's one short flight?
I just need to change my schedule around
for a few days.
I'll be in touch.
Okay. I suggest you eat
your entire in-flight meal on the way.
So since we're face-to-face
with each other right now,
let's get one thing settled.
I say we just split 50-50 down the middle.
Half and half, okay?
[exhales] Brother Kang,
there's a passage in James 1:15.
"When desire is conceived
to bringeth forth sin."
"And sin when accomplished,
will bringeth forth death."
Seventy-thirty. No problem.
That's the cut.
That's a joke. [chuckles]
Who would agree to that deal?
Stop wasting my time, huh?
[chuckles]
Don't you know greed is a deadly sin?
It's the path I was shown.
I suggest we review this
when your friend arrives.
- [door opens]
- [Ingu sighs]
[Changho sighs]
Listen, boss.
This wasn't in the plan at all.
If for some reason
they find out who you are,
we have to pull the plug.
If I don't go, it's dead in the water.
This way, I can see
this as*h*le's face in person
and see what we're up against.
This has been going on for years.
I need to breathe the same air
as this guy at least once.
[inhales]
Let's get me on a plane.
[upbeat music playing]
[mobile vibrating]
INCOMING CALL
KANG THE PROFESSIONAL
Ingu, what's going on?
Had any decent food lately?
[Ingu] I'm currently stuffing my face
at the hotel breakfast bar.
What time is your flight?
9:30. I was just about
to call you about that.
We can talk about dealing with the pastor
at the airport.
[Ingu] That's not gonna happen.
I won't be the one
picking you up at the airport.
The pastor's sending
his team out to get you.
He told me not to bother.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
Did he tell you anything else?
Something along the lines of
things getting complicated if I was there.
Anyway, have a safe flight.
Thanks. Don't eat too much at the buffet.
You'll get sick.
And one more thing.
Remember the pastor promised you a party.
I suggest you pay particular attention
to how you present yourself.
You're a big talker
in an underground business.
You might not wanna show up
looking like you work in an office.
You're right. That's an excellent point.
I'll pick my outfits accordingly, okay?
Eye on the prize.
Right, Sangman? I'll see you.
Yep.
JOHAN ADOLF PENGEL INT'L AIRPOR
SURINAME
[Changho chuckles]
How are you, Mr. Goo?
I'm the pastor's legal advisor,
David Julio Park. But call me David.
This is Lee Sangjun, our deacon.
I appreciate the seller welcome committee.
Quite a pair, the smiling shark
and the quiet clerk. [chuckles]
[hocks]
[clears throat]
I'll need your passport.
We have an arrangement with the guards.
It's super fast-track.
Oh. Arrangements with guards
are so handy. So expedient.
- [David] Shall we?
- Yeah.
[soldier in Dutch] Salute!
[clears throat]
[in Spanish] Show him a good time, girls.
Make yourself comfortable, daddy.
[in English] Whoa. [exhales]
Fast-track, indeed.
- [chuckles]
- Ingu. Good to see you, brother.
Food here's treating you all right?
[chuckles]
Not really. I find the food way too salty.
Oh, this is our host Pastor Jeon.
This is Goo Sangman.
It's an honor to meet such
a devout servant of the people.
Thanks for having me.
[chuckles]
Hallelujah!
I feel like it must've been a good flight
seeing as you're on the wings of God.
[Changho and Jeon chuckle]
- Would you like a drink?
- Yeah.
You'll have to come visit me in Brazil
when you have a chance.
It's a great place to release tension.
Like your limo.
[chuckles] As a church leader,
I must abstain from
some types of indulgence.
- Ah.
- Although, it's very tempting sometimes.
[both chuckle]
The GDP of countries in Northeast Asia
has shown growth in conjuction
with China's meteoric rise.
And as you know,
a rise in spending power generates
an increase in demand for narcotics.
Mm-hmm. Thankfully.
However, our research
has always shown that
Korean's aren't overly fond of powder.
That's entirely because the quality
of the cocaine on the market is sh*t.
However, we do have
a special fondness for luxury goods
such as Chanel, Mercedes-Benz,
and other top brands.
We don't mind paying
for top-of-the-line products.
[Jeon chuckles]
Pastor, it's Colombian coke's time
to meet Korea.
I think we should take the market by storm
right off the bat.
We get our product to Korea, China,
and Japan in one shot.
A synchronized regional launch.
[Jeon] Well
China's a long shot.
In my experience, the opium wars
are still fresh. They were traumatizing.
I think k*lling
counters serious resistance.
[tense music playing]
You should have a rest.
I'm sure your flight was tiring.
Uh, I'm fine. I always fly first-class.
I must be getting old.
Flying makes me weary.
Preacher.
Please take these gentleman
to the best room in the guest house.
[Preacher] Right away, sir.
[dogs barking in the distance]
[dog panting]
[sportscaster speaking indistinctly]
284 this year, a home run, and 7 RBI's.
Show our guests in.
[sportscaster continues indistinctly]
[exhales, sniffles]
Enjoy your rest.
[Changho] This is the best room?
I can't see out the f*cking window.
[Ingu] I know.
[Changho] I don't like it.
I feel like we're being locked up.
[Ingu] What are you? Claustrophobic?
I'm sure it's just to keep the heat out.
[David sighs]
Something stinks.
I don't like it, boss.
[chuckles]
Did you get to rest up?
Yes. I like the dark.
Your decorator's good.
While you slept,
I did a bit of research on you.
Two years ago,
you came to Suriname for the first time.
What was that trip for?
[tense music playing]
[sucks teeth, inhales]
I've been here before.
Looking to export cocaine to Korea.
I struck out every avenue I went down,
so I gave up and I left.
The timing's right.
That's when you got a hold
of me and Eungsoo
and told us about the skate opportunity.
Which, as we all know,
died an early death.
You say you were looking for cocaine,
but you visited the American embassy.
Why is that?
That would be like a burglar
trying to break into the police station.
Spit it out, man. Would you?
I have other things to do.
So tell me a lie, tell me the truth,
tell me any damn thing.
[hocks]
I had a connection.
Someone turned me on
to one of the employees
with a little side hustle.
They said the guy could get you
anything you want
and in whatever amount you wanted.
- Only this as*h*le
- [chuckles]
[chuckles]
This as*h*le was up to his Yankee eyeballs
in debt with some Chinese g*ng,
and he refused
to meet outside the embassy.
He was too scared to meet outside.
Turns out he was a two-bit hustler
who only dealt meth and weed.
I walked out on his sorry a*s.
What's this guy's name?
Douglas Harper, I think.
Hey, Preacher.
You were still slumming
with that fool Chen Zhen two years ago.
Does Douglas Harper ring a bell?
[Preacher sighs]
The meth and the gambling,
so many drugged up idiots
gambling away their money.
[inhales] I can't remember them all.
We got lots of Yanks, though.
Hang on. This is bullshit.
We didn't come here to do business
like a bunch of low-level gangsters.
[Changho sighs]
This isn't professional.
We can't work this way.
This is my house, so we do things my way.
Understood?
I want the real f*cking story,
or I'll get it out of you the hard way.
This whole thing sounds suspicious.
And your disrespect is obnoxious.
So f*ck you and your bullshit operation.
Amateur hour's over.
No one leaves before the Pastor
gives his blessing, so sit back down.
- Blessing, my a*s!
- Hey, hey! Chill, Sangman.
Cool it. Take it down a few notches.
Calm down.
I'm sure he didn't mean to insult you.
Screw that, Ingu.
I should be ripping you a new one.
The thing I despise most
is wasting time and money.
And that's all I've done since I met
this imposter and his trained monkeys.
- [baseball player hits ball]
- [crowd cheering]
Hey, what's going on? What's the count?
No outs. They walked the first batter,
and the next one hit a double.
Ah! Son of a b*tch!
[sportscaster] Park was able to get Church
to bounce into a 3-6-1 double play
in the first inning,
to get out of that inning.
And allowed two runs
and a home run by Murphy.
That's it! That's it! That's it!
[chuckles]
Just get one more strike
and we're good, Chanho. Huh?
Chanho Park is Korea's
number one baseball ambassador.
We need to show him our support.
[chuckles]
Now, come on and serve that curveball.
[exhales]
Douglas Harper, was it?
Why don't you enjoy America's pastime
while we check out
the American drug dealer?
It's always good business
to vet partners before you get started.
I could go home.
Get some work done while we're waiting.
Who are you to tell me to sit tight?
[chuckles]
Not a sports guy?
Do what you want,
but you can't leave Suriname
without my say.
Preacher!
- Take them to a hotel.
- Right away.
Chanho! Yes! [chuckles]
Strike out!
[chuckles] Yeah!
You're an animal.
I told you to use the curve! [chuckles]
Awesome! [breathes deeply]
David.
I need you to keep an eye on those two.
And see if there's a record
for Douglas Harper at the embassy.
You want us to get access
to their employee files?
This is the US Embassy
we're talking about.
[grunts]
It's a government agency. You can bribe
your way through the front or back door.
Whichever it is, get it done today.
Hey, David.
I'm not asking. This is an order.
Yes, sir.
[relaxing music playing]
[horns honking]
[indistinct chatter]
[Ingu] So you think
the situation is salvageable?
I mean, I assume the NIS
would give you a clean cover.
What you told me about Jeon
being thorough and suspicious
was confirmed on the ground.
If I showed up with a clean passport,
the conversation would've ended there.
He wouldn't sell to us.
Are you telling me you made up that trail
for him to follow?
No, I just didn't erase it.
There was a Douglas Harper
working at the US Embassy.
He was under surveillance
for drug dealing.
If they take the bait,
it'll be easy for you
to get the pastor to trust you.
All right. I still think you should've
thought to mention what you were planning
before you forced me
to go along with this.
I really thought
it was gonna go sideways for a minute.
I have to adjust
to the adversary's tactics sometimes.
It's a big boy's arena.
However, I can assure you
that all variables
are controlled by the department.
The department that recruited
the former owner of a karaoke bar
for a cocaine sting?
- [sucks teeth]
- [mobile vibrating]
[Jeon] You haven't called. Why is that?
It's been five hours, David.
What the f*ck?
Still waiting, sir.
David, they played us.
Cut the bullshit
and get rid of these clowns.
We've wasted enough time.
I know, Pastor.
I just think we should wait.
Hotels tend to get a lot of press
when their guests get m*rder*d.
[Jeon] True.
But, counselor, let me worry about that,
and do what I tell you.
[sucks teeth]
[dramatic music playing]
[mobile vibrates]
We'll be in and out of there
in no time, Pastor.
[groans]
[clears throat]
k*ll all the security cameras
in the hotel.
And keep your mouths shut.
[doorbell rings]
[doorbell rings]
[man] Hey.
You left without this.
I thought you weren't coming.
What took you so long?
You think getting the staff roster
at the US Embassy is so easy?
[doorbell rings]
[David] The CIA agent we used to work with
introduced me to this guy.
I know the information's solid.
Douglas Harper's listed
on the embassy personnel roster.
And his performance reviews mention
drugs, gambling, and debts.
[mobile vibrating]
[mobile vibrating]
PASTOR JEON
Jeon's calling.
[Jeon] Brother Kang.
I have excellent news for you.
[yelling]
[all chuckling]
[Jeon] Ah!
[all chuckling]
[Jeon chuckling]
Stop, stop!
[chuckles]
I was surprised to hear from you.
When you checked out to watch the game,
I took it as a sign you don't need money.
Or do you make money
betting on baseball too?
You don't understand what it means
to be a die-hard fan, Sangman.
You'd rather starve
than miss a single strike.
- You have to respect the passion, though.
- [Jeon chuckles]
Ah, it is that.
I do admit I went a bit overboard.
So to make it up to you
[sighs] it's game on.
I'll get you two tons
as your first shipment.
Two tons?
It works if you can get the merchandise
to a designated meeting point
we can agree on.
Near Brazil's border.
Sure. No problem.
Now I'm gonna need
some time to bundle everything.
The Colombians will send it in bulk.
Then we make you
nice and tidy packages for shipping. Hmm?
Two tons will take about a month.
That's 30 days.
I'm cutting it close,
but that's just in time for the boat.
Ball.
So,
now that the logistics are worked out,
I want to know
how you're planning to pay.
[Ingu chuckles]
What I propose is this.
You import it from Colombia first, right?
We need to inspect it
on arrival, of course.
I need to get back to Brazil,
so Brother Kang will do that here.
If it's all good,
I wire you a deposit on the spot.
Sure.
That sounds good.
We have a deal.
Yeah, looks like we do. [chuckles]
Ball.
Oh.
I consulted God about your share.
He says I can't allow more than 60-40.
Ha.
Okay, Pastor. You talk to God,
we'll work out the details.
[sighs] It'll be nice to get my hands
on some decent money again.
Ooh! Oh! Nice throw!
- Yeah, you've tossed a few pitches before.
- [Ingu chuckles] Yeah.
Let's all have dinner.
We need to celebrate.
I could eat.
Sure.
[mariachi music playing]
[singing in Spanish]
[music continues faintly]
[in English] I was thinking
that before you go,
you could get me in touch
with a local agent.
So I have a contact here.
[glasses clink]
[inaudible]
- Yeah?
- [woman] I know, a bit different.
- Did you?
- [David] Huh?
[woman] Did you like
the texture of this one?
[Spanish music continues]
[David] Mmm, actually
In our line of work,
it's too risky for both parties
to know their fellow agents.
Huh? I'm one of you?
That's not what I meant.
You're better off not knowing. Trust me.
Hold on.
You throw the word trust around
like it's small change.
How do you expect me
to trust you, Sangman?
So far, you're all talk.
Hey, they have steak tartare over there.
[all chuckle]
I hope you like it.
The chefs are top notch.
They're good with Korean patrons.
I heard you like Korean tartare,
so I had them make it for you.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
Don't get me wrong, it's good.
It's a bit spongy on the tongue
for my taste.
I hear American meat
is full of hormones, so
Hmm.
I think it's the marble texture
of the beef
that allows it to melt in your mouth
if you eat more slowly. [chuckles]
Try it again.
Mmm.
Brother Kang.
Yes.
[inhales]
We agreed to a very lucrative deal
with you and your partner today.
Since he needs to leave, I was thinking
you might enjoy the company of my house.
Why pay for a hotel room?
[Ingu] Ha.
Hotels have windows you can see out of.
I'm fine where I am, thanks.
Ah, this is different. [chuckles]
I thought we could watch baseball together
as you seem to appreciate Park's talent.
We're alike.
We could become very good friends.
We already have something in common.
Synergy is the key to success, Ingu.
Mm-hmm.
Funny.
I thought we were like night and day.
[chuckling]
I know we can get along just fine.
Trust me on this one.
I'll treat you right.
Since I first met you
and saw you living in that dump,
it's made my heart sorry for you.
Wow.
I imagine your heart
must really bleed then.
For ruining my livelihood.
I suffered hardship from that too.
It was an unfortunate consequence.
It was not my intention.
A car will pick you up tomorrow.
[Ingu clears throat]
[upbeat music playing]
[all cheering]
[inhales]
For the pastor to get two tons of cocaine
delivered from Colombia in one shot,
he's gonna have to come up
with a lot more than he's used to.
If he stretches himself thin,
we can use that.
[Ingu sighs]
Ugh.
You know, I've been wandering
how shipments get through inspection.
In our case,
how is it that Dutch customs decided
to do an inspection on our skate that day?
When I was in prison,
the inmates all agreed.
The odds of customs searching
that shipment without a tip-off
was something like a thousand to one.
Until you forced me to work with the NIS,
I just thought that Eungsoo and I
had really rotten luck.
[exhales]
Now I think
you guys already had
the pastor in your sights.
Huh?
And you called in the tip about the drugs.
I've looked at it from every angle,
and nothing else makes sense.
[scoffs] I'm right.
And you've known all along.
This is how you do it? Ruin people's lives
and force them to work for you?
Jeon's cocaine couldn't enter Korea
with your merchandise.
We had to seize the goods.
You got caught in the middle.
Don't you hear yourself? You did this!
You could've intercepted the coke
before the pastor came anywhere close.
You people screwed me on purpose.
Eungsoo and I
put our life savings in this.
Now I learn
my own government f*cked us.
Ingu.
We work for the greater good
of our people.
Sometimes that means
sacrificing individuals for national
Enough bullshit.
National interest? Really?
How is this helping the nation?
Ruining lives?
Are we just pawns in a chess game?
You think you can play us as you please?
We weren't deliberately trying
to ruin your life.
You got caught in the crosshairs.
I'm sorry for what happened.
[Ingu sighs]
Now, see?
I don't believe you.
You're apologizing because I figured out
you played me for a fool, right?
Now you expect me to trust
anything that comes out of your mouth?
Of the two guys I can choose from,
Jeon might be the better bet.
But you're not a criminal.
I wasn't, but you're making me one.
You operate exactly like that gangster.
You exploit others
for your own benefit.
It's one mafia or the other.
And I'd rather work with the one
that'll actually make me money.
You're furious and saying dangerous things
you don't really mean.
No, I actually mean it.
It's your job
to look after the national interests,
and it's mine
to look after my personal interests.
I think the steak tartare must be off.
I don't feel so hot.
Mmm, no. It can't be that.
[door opens]
Hey, buddy. Make sure to eat properly.
Have some fun
while we wait for the delivery, huh?
Sure. I'll have fun at the pastor's house.
Have a good flight and stay in touch, huh?
Yeah.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Jeon chuckles] Welcome!
Welcome!
Our guest has arrived.
Good morning!
How are you, partner?
Hey, how come you're dressed
for a pool party again?
- Don't we have work to do?
- [chuckles]
It's typical of ex-cons
to focus on their next paycheck.
Your head gets filled
with dancing dollar signs.
[Ingu chuckles]
Relax. Take a look around.
Then join us.
The Jacuzzi's waiting for you.
[in Spanish] Show him a good time.
[in English] Ah, that's okay.
I'm good, I'm good.
I'm, uh, sort of a loner.
I'd rather go to my room for now.
- No offense.
- [Jeon chuckles] Let's go.
[sighs]
- [door hinge creaks]
- [door shuts]
You came here to be saved, yet you ran.
You turned your back on us!
[grunts, cries]
[woman] Lord, we pray for your guidance.
Please forgive our sister's sin.
[all] Please forgive our sister, Lord.
[woman] Help us, Lord,
to save her from her vanity and greed.
[all] Please save our sister, Lord.
[woman] We gave in to temptation.
We repent for our sins.
Please grant us your embrace, Lord.
[all] Please grant us your embrace, Lord.
[woman] Lord, protect us from evil!
We repent for our arrogance!
We repent for our pride! We repent, Lord!
[girl 1] Amen.
[girl 2] Amen.
[girl 3] Amen.
[boy 1] Amen.
Amen.

DECLINING CALL
INPUT MESSAGE
CHEN ZHEN
[mobile vibrating]
Hey, Ingu. What's going on?
How's the food treating you?
[Ingu] Fine. No one's around.
I found a deserted area on the grounds.
They haven't bugged the bushes.
I've been waiting
for you to check back in.
First, there's some personal things
to clear up.
I want to reiterate my sincere apology
for the trouble our NIS operations
caused you and your family.
Hey, the government does what it wants.
Let's move on.
Forget the government.
This is personal, not professional.
We know the repercussions of our actions
have made things difficult for you,
so I've asked the department to consider
additional compensation for your troubles.
Thank you.
I wasn't expecting to hear that.
I appreciate you considered the impact
this has on regular people.
I accept your apology
even though I'm stuck in a crazy house.
Anything new to report from there?
Only threats form Chen Zhen.
He says we need to meet.
How do I deal with this as*h*le?
CHEN ZHEN CONTINUES TO THREATEN
You can't put him off too much longer.
Don't go there alone.
Call us, and we'll get you protection.
[sighs]
Also, about Jeon's believers
Yes? What'd you find out?
I followed some of them
when I heard a commotion outside.
It was some kind of punishment for a woman
they berated and beat with a stick.
Then everybody had to drink
this blue stuff laced with cocaine,
which would be weird anyway,
but all the kids
in the congregation drank it too.
The kids drank it?
[sighs]
SURINAME AIR FORCE BASE
Ah sh*t.
[exhales]
[man] CO 245, Paradise Bird,
requesting permission to land.
Paradise Bird.
Request granted.
Proceed to R1 runway.
[upbeat music playing]
[tires screech]
Manna from heaven
Gives life to the world.
[in Spanish] Welcome, my dear friend!
[chuckles]
Everything is good, pal.
[in English] Why come yourself?
Ah, it's not my decision.
The boss He sent me.
Because I suddenly asked
for such a large amount?
And more than half on credit.
I'm your guarantor,
so I'm responsible for this deal.
Don't worry.
I will get this done in a month,
like I promised.
[chuckles]
David.
[in Spanish] Here.
[in English] Your little boy likes
Manchester United's Ji-sung Park, right?
[in Spanish] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[in English]
We got an autograph from him in London.
Give it to your son.
My son will be happy to get this.
Thank you,
- always for your precious gift.
- [Jeon chuckles]
[in Spanish] You are welcome,
thanks to you.
[chuckles]
The merch is ready.
[sniffs]
[groans]
- [in English] One hundred percent.
- [Jeon chuckles]
Colombian cocaine really is
the real deal. [chuckles]
It's filled with the Holy Spirit.
[Jeon and David chuckle]
[chuckles]
[games whirring]
[Changho] Ingu, how's it going?
Did you eat anything good today?
I have a few minutes
before I have to meet Chen Zhen.
I'm at his casino.
[inhales]
All right. But I asked you not
to go anywhere without letting us know.
[inhales]
Uh, but since you're there,
what're you planning
to do at this meeting?
[Ingu] I don't plan to do anything
besides listen and tell him what I think.
I don't like talking to this guy,
but I didn't think I had a choice.
Anyway, it's a public place.
I don't think they'll try
to do anything to me here, right?
- [men grunting]
- [indistinct yelling]
Is that you?
It sounds like you're in trouble.
What's going on?
[men grunting]
- [thug 1 in Chinese] Piece of sh*t!
- [thug 2] f*ck!
- [thug 3] Kick him!
- [thug 4] f*ck!
[thug 5] Hit him more!
[thug 3] f*ck!
[Ingu breathing heavily]
[thug 4] f*cking b*stard!
[thug yells]
[grunts]
[thug 3] g*dd*mn it!
[exhales]
[in English] I warned you.
I have the exclusive rights
to sell cocaine to Korea.
But you got in bed with the pastor.
Do Koreans always bite
the hand that feeds you?
What are you talking about?
You think I like doing business
with the pastor?
I told you, I want to k*ll the b*stard.
Cut the crap, Kang.
Just take responsibility for your choice.
[Ingu] Chen Zhen, you idiot!
If you k*ll me,
the pastor loses big money!
Then he'll k*ll you.
Hey! Hey, hey, this is my zoo.
Do you know how many people have gone
into the stomachs of those alligators?
[exhales]
The pastor will think you ran away.
Don't you worry.
Attack him first.
Surprise him on his turf.
Then I can help you.
[chuckles]
How can you help me?
I'll tell you when to time your attack.
[chuckling]
[in Chinese] Boss.
Let's just cut and feed him.
[chuckles]
[Ingu in English] Listen to me.
I k*ll the pastor.
Then you clean out his crew.
When that's done,
we sell his coke to Korea together.
Okay?
[exhales]
The pastor has to die
before shipping the coke to Korea.
Otherwise,
you will die instead.
Okay. I got it.
[chuckling]
[mobile vibrating]
INCOMING CALL
KANG THE PROFESSIONAL
Hey, it's Ingu.
Thanks for calling, Ingu. You all right?
Still alive.
That b*stard Chen's crew
just dropped me in the street.
They almost fed me to the alligators.
[sighs] I knew this would happen.
I told you not to go anywhere
without calling first.
Hey, you knew where I was.
Don't your agents know
where the casino is?
Or is it that my a*s is expandable? Huh?
Do you have agents here?
[inhales] It's complicated.
Chinatown is another world,
and outsiders are spotted a mile away.
You should've mentioned that before.
I can only be in trouble
outside Chinatown?
I should've been more clear.
We'll tighten our safety protocols.
[parking brake clicks]
How did you know I was here?
We thought something might be wrong
when we couldn't find you.
Pastor Jeon told us
to ask around the neighborhood.
Do you have a problem
with Chen Zhen's people?
Not now.
I went to play baccarat
to try to make some money, but I lost.
So I borrowed on credit.
And the next thing I know,
they're pounding my face.
Let that be a lesson.
We can't protect you when you leave
the house without permission.
The boss wants to talk to you.
Let's go.
Track his phone from now on.
[car doors open, shut]
- Here.
- [Ingu] What is this?
Are we in a gangster movie or what?
A f*cking hood?
[electronic whirring, beeping]
[chimes]
[Ingu breathing nervously]
[Ingu] Ooh!
It looks like Preacher
had a little fun with you.
What a joker.
Oh!
I know that wasn't his doing.
It was bad luck at the tables.
Is that what I think it is?
Fresh off the airplane.
Which explains
why we were so eager to find you.
Game on.
All of that is ours? That's two tons?
Correct. First-class cocaine
for Asian souls looking
for a first-class high.
[Ingu sighs]
Holy sh*t.
I never thought I would say this about
a bunch of powder, but it's beautiful.
Because it's pure.
There are 80 packages.
Twenty-five kilos each.
This all looks fine to me.
Give me a second
to send a picture to Sangman.
- Wow.
- [Jeon chuckles]
- [shutter clicks]
- [Jeon] Good shot.
TWO TONS CONFIRMED
Okay. We got the pastor on the hook.
We need to wire the money to his account,
then contact the ABIN
so we can coordinate the next steps.
[upbeat music playing]
They already wired the money.
Eight million dollars.
[chuckling]
[Jeon] I love a guy who moves that fast.
[David chuckles]
[Jeon] As for our route
towards the Brazilian border,
I want you to stick to this area
near the Sipaliwini River.
Use the terrain to our advantage.
[David] Yes, sir.
Control the territory,
so we control the hand-off situation.
[Ingu] They mapped out
a route to the border.
They want us to move in two days.
They asked me to check in with you
and make sure you can meet us
in the morning day after tomorrow.
Jeon says he'll relay
the exact exchange location
when we're close to delivering.
It's all good
as long as you head towards Brazil.
Keep in touch and follow my instructions,
and you'll be fine.
I know how it works now, Sangman.
It's all good.
[Changho] Is there anything else?
Anything I should be aware of?
Uh, not concerning the delivery.
But I have to say being away from home
for so long is taking its toll.
When I was little, my father enlisted.
He went to fight in Vietnam.
I realize that must've scarred him.
It scars all of us.
I understand the mixed emotions.
I've been far from home
for years serving my country.
If our Brazil operation is successful,
the DEA will be all over this thing.
Then you can go back home soon.
Right. [exhales]
There's one more thing.
You said you'd be able
to get us some bonus compensation?
Uh, yeah, I got 20 million more for you.
Twenty million? That's great.
Listen. Can you do me a favor?
Send all of that to Eungsoo's family.
Preferably today.
Today it would have been his birthday.
Oh, I see.
I'll ask them to do it right away.
Be careful out there, Ingu.
I'll see you in two days.
Yeah. You be careful
heading to the border.
[sighs]
[sucks teeth] Eungsoo.
[Jeon] Brother Kang.
I'm sure you've never done
anything like this.
Nervous? It's a big deal.
Pfft.
I'm just excited.
I like the smell of money.
[Jeon chuckles]
An autographed ball
celebrating Park's 100th win.
Ever since I owned it,
it's been a talisman of sorts.
- I want you to have it.
- Wow!
Park's career 100th? You didn't have to.
It's to help me feel less guilty
for not going with you.
Worship service has priority.
I just want protection for my new partner.
I can feel it.
[car engine turns over]
[Ingu sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
SURINAME-BRAZIL BORDER
[birds tweeting]
Five minutes to destination.
Security team,
get ready in your designated area.
[mobile vibrates]
DAVID PARK
Done.
We have the coordinates from Jeon
for the meeting point.
We are ten minutes out.
Let me remind you,
our guys are running the show out there.
As for the Venezuelan team,
when the Brazilian border patrol shows up
and tries to confiscate the cocaine,
all we need to do
is act surprised and keep cool.
The g*ns we provided
are meant for show, not sh**ting.
We don't want there to be bloodshed.
We want everyone in one piece.
We seize the drugs and money
without firing any b*ll*ts.
No one dies on this mission.
No other details of the assignment
will be made available.
It's a need-to-know opp.
We expect full cooperation. Over.
Roger that. We have what we need. Over.
This is NIS.
I'm sending the rendezvous location
for Brazil border patrol.
[tense music playing]
[birds squawking]
Ingu! Tell me you're not hungry.
Ha!
Actually, there was no way to stop
and get food along the way.
However, I've got something that no food
in the world can beat. Lunch can wait.
Mmm. That's okay.
So, David. Why don't we get down to it
so you can get back home?
Great.
First, though, show me the money.
That's how we do it.
[hocks]
Straightforward. Gotta respect that.
Ha. Over here.
[man] Freeze!
Stop! Stop! Don't move!
We are Brazil border guards.
Nobody moves.
[tense music playing]
[tense music continues]
[music ends]
