[light upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

[horn honks]

-Hey.
-Hey, Pham.

-Are you waiting for somebody?
-Yes, you?

Mmm.

-You look like you're waiting too.
-Not yet.

[in English]
Long time no see.

Hi, Mr. Cha.

[Moosik laughs]

How much for a night?

-For you?
-Yes.

Wow. You've never asked before.

I'm asking now.

Three thousand for one time
and five thousand for the whole night.

No discount.

How about 20,000 for the night?

Really?

-Yes.
-Okay.

[women laughing]

Let's go in.

Wow.

Very nice.

-It's big.
-Big?

-Yeah.
-I'm big too.

[both chuckle]

Beer?

No thanks.
I don't drink when I have to work.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Oh, my god.

Have a seat.

[fizzes]

Why?

So beautiful.

Thank you.

I like looking at you.

So are you just gonna stare at me?

Yeah.

This is awkward, so...

Do you want me to clean first?

Why hurry?

Okay.

-Vianna.
-Mm?

I changed my mind.

Get in the shower.

[sighs lightly]

Whatever.

[door opens, closes]

[shower running]

[tense music]

I'M SAD TODAY

Hey, Vianna.

Uh, something came up.
I've got to go. Sorry.

VIANNA: What?

Uh, the money is on the table.

And you can stay here for the night. Bye.

VIANNA: Thank you.

BIG BET

"THE KIDNAPPING"

DR. SANTOS: The deceased took three shots
to the chest and the abdomen,

and a fatal g*nsh*t wound to the neck.

[door opens]

WOMAN 1 [in Taglish]:
Dr. Santos, medical emergency.

-[in Tagalog] You can finish up here.
-Yes, doctor.

-[door opens]
-[sighs]

[door closes]

[in English]
sh*t.

[sniffles]

You two. Step outside, please.

[in Korean]
Hey, what happened?

[door closes]

So...

Philip got into Sojung's car
to talk to her,

then a cop on a motorcycle came by

and shot them.

In the middle of the street?

The g*n had a sil*ncer on it.

What about the money?

He took the money out of Sojung's trunk

and put it into the car
that had followed him.

Then the car drove away.

She visited the currency exchange
and smelled like money.

Of course, she was targeted.

On top of that, she was a foreigner.

He used a g*n with a sil*ncer?

Yes.

Hey, Boss.

[smacks lips]

Here's the weird thing.

He knew the money was in Sojung's trunk

and had a car waiting to put the money in.

Doesn't this seem...

[inhales sharply]

...like it was all planned out?

How much did you tell the cops?

Of course, I didn't say anything.

I just saw what happened
and came out right away.

And what were you doing there?

Well, Philip said
that he didn't have his car key.

So I told him, "Get into my car,
I can drive you there."

Anyway,

I'll take care of this.

So don't spill it anywhere.

If the police are involved in this,

then things might get messy.

Okay?

Yes.

[sighs]

[clicks tongue]

[door opens, closes]

MARK [in English]: The driver admitted
to buying the p*stol for Charlie.

But on the day of the m*rder,
he was at home, saying it was his day off.

And he actually has an alibi
to back it up.

What about Charlie's girlfriend?

Any progress on tracking her cell phone?

Still waiting for a warrant for that.

It usually takes about two weeks.

Two whole weeks?

[snorts]

Different country,
different system, right?

-[phone ringing]
-I'll just take that phone call.

Hello?

[Seunghoon sighs]

Oh.

NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

[phone vibrates]

Hey, Mr. Oh.

SEUNGHOON: Hello, Chief Shim? Hi.

I've finished investigating
Kim Kyungyoung's acquaintances,

but I didn't find anybody else
who might have been involved.

SEUNGHOON: Did you find Oh Duseok?

Kidoo brought him in this morning.
We're interrogating him right now.

Did you happen to ask Mr. Cha?

He just ate dinner with the victims once.
That's it.

Is that for certain?

SHIM: Kim Kyungyoung organized the crime.

He lured them to the Philippines
to do business.

And when the victims decided
they didn't want

to do business with him anymore,
he k*lled them.

Is there anything else you can tell me?

SHIM: Hey, Seunghoon.

I'm suspicious of Cha Moosik too.

But I don't think he's lying to us.

All right, then.

Also, Chief Shim, can you please
process my receipts for this month?

SHIM: Now's not the time.
I'm interrogating somebody here.

-I'm hanging up.
-Chief Shim. sh*t.

[clicks tongue]

-[door opens]
-Mark [in English]: Hey, Hoon.

Come check this out.

-Right now?
-Right now.

More Koreans were gunned down
in Manila yesterday.

Again?

Yes.

[snorts]

Let me see.

Hey, hold on, hold on.

-What?
-Go up. Up. Up.

SEUNGHOON: Let me see that picture.

MARK: Do you know them?

Huh?

Do you know them?

SOJUNG [in Korean]:
When you're away from home,

you get lonely without even realizing it.

Your personality changes a bit too.

[snorts]

[in English]
I met her once.

[light music playing]

So those f*ck died together
while trying to make a run for it.

[snorts]

[Sanggu smacks lips]

Since when were they so close?

You saw that b*stard's face, right?

-If I find him, can you catch him?
-Are you a cop?

You think you can find him?

[scoffs]
sh*t.

Ms. Ko is really something else.

Right?

She could have just taken the money.

But she k*lled them too.

She was seriously pissed last time.

She's definitely capable of it.

By the way, how the f*ck
did Mr. Cha find out?

You know how he has connections.

There are thousands
of exchange stores in Manila, though.

They went to the money exchange store
in Korea Town that we do business with.

f*cking idiots.

[clicks tongue]

They really just dug
their own f*cking graves.

How come you came out of it unscathed?

Are you looking out for me
or suspicious of me?

JOHN [in English]: Hey, bro!

Waited long?

MOOSIK: It's okay.

[both grunt]

Pacquiao decided to play, bro.

The Big Boss is putting on a huge bet.

Against Mayweather?

Yeah.

The fight of the century.

Ah.
[laughs]

Keep it.

This is for the last time.

And about this.

We got a little problem here.

These are business accounts
from a bank in Hong Kong.

Which means?

JOHN: Ah, it means
they're a b*tch to crack, brother.

Are they still open?

Yes, they are.

The bank doesn't even know
these f*ck are dead yet.

[laughs]

Okay. Thanks.

Oh, by the way.

Ah...

I haven't told Big Boss about this. So...

this is just between us for now, huh?

KIM KYUNGYOUNG, HEAVEN RESORT
AGILES CITY 2032 PAMPANGA

MARK [in English]: Hoon.

Do you remember what we talked about?

This is not your jurisdiction.

You're only here to accompany us.

But don't do anything out of line.
Are we clear?

I understand.

Good.

POLICE

[tires screech]

[in Tagalog] Park near the lobby.
I want to check it out first.

[tires screech]

[in English]
You guys stay right here.

I'll check it out first.

[door opens, closes]

CIDG 1 [in Tagalog]:
Hey, have you eaten yet?

-CIDG 2: Not yet.
-CIDG 1: Where should we get dinner?

I don't know.

[sighs]

[in English]
Wanna see?

That's okay, man.

They checked out yesterday.

-You sure?
-MARK: Yes, I'm sure.

SEUNGHOON: But they were there?

Yes. That intel was at least correct.

So, what now?

[smacks lips]

Well, I guess there's nothing we can do.

Okay, let's go.

[insects chirping]

[strained breath]

[phone vibrating]

-What?
-JUNGPAL: Hey, Boss.

A customer is trying to run away
after borrowing some money.

Hey, can't you deal with that on your own?

Did you really call
because you couldn't handle that?

Come on, I'm begging you here.
Please help me just this once.

If I can't get this money back,
I'm screwed.

How much is it?

JUNGPAL: Two million pesos.

He doesn't have his passport,

so he's holding out on me.

But I'm 100% sure he won't pay me back.

Dude, just try
to get the money back somehow.

Try to be nice to him.

I'm asking you for this favor

because he's not that easy
to persuade, Boss.

Please just help me.

JUNGPAL:
I'll cook you delicious food every day.

You idiot.

Fine, I'll help. I'm hanging up.

[clicks tongue]

I still have to spoon-feed him, seriously.

Listen to me very carefully.

You must keep this information secure,
all right?

[inhales]

[sighs]

There's this money
from Korea's Fifth Republic.

It's Chun Doohwan's slush fund.

You know he has hundreds of billions
of won that he hasn't paid back, right?

The problem is,
these cash bills are discontinued now.

He should have changed them
to new notes a long time ago,

but he couldn't do it
because it was too much money.

This is hundreds of billions of won.

Even now, they're hiring people
to exchange the money little by little,

but it's still too much.

So, there's this guy, Mr. Heo.
His job is to get Chun Doohwan his funds.

And he's still working at the Blue House.

Even though the administration's changed,
he's still there. Why?

Because he's in charge
of the president's slush fund.

He's an expert at those things.

But these outdated notes are the problem.

Society is squeaky clean now.

If someone tries to exchange


then they'll obviously question it.

So...
[inhales sharply]

...the deal we made with Mr. Heo

is that we'll get 5% of the money,

and the remaining 95% will go to him.

Get what I'm saying?

So, what exactly is going to happen?

[inhales]

So, we have 50 billion won right now.

That's five times five,
making twenty-five.

We'll get 2.5 billion won,

so I'll send the money
once I'm back in Seoul.

Hello, sir.

I'm Cha Moosik.
I'll be taking you to the airport.

Please come with me.

Let me get your suitcase for you, sir.

After you.

[sighs]

You should've done this
from the beginning.

I'll come right back
after I drop him off, sir.

[straining grunt]

Boss...

[chuckles]

-[engine rumbling]
-[birds chirping]

Where are we going?

We're just taking a shortcut
to the airport.

Are we really going to the airport?

Hey. Is this really the way
to the airport?

Hey! I said,
is this the way to the airport?

-MOOSIK: That's what I said.
-What?

Hey.

What?

[in English]
Don't move, f*ck.

[in Tagalog]
Hey, it's good.

MOOSIK: Hey.

[in Korean]
I'll get you there, okay?

So just keep your mouth shut.

I don't want to hear
a single syllable from you, all right?

[metal rasps]

[metal scraping]

Hey.

Deokbae.

Deokbae, kneel.

What is this place?

[laughs]

Wow, this f*ck thinks he's brave,
doesn't he?

[laughs]

Hey, you f*ck. I bet you'll kneel
in less than ten seconds.

Don't try to fight it. Just kneel.

Hey, get up.

Are you kidding me?

[mutters]

Look, I'll pay you back.

It's too late, you little sh*t. Kneel.

I told you I'll pay you back.
I'll pay you back once I'm back in Korea.

This f*cking b*stard just doesn't get
what he's got himself into.

[in English]
Hey! Come on.

[in Tagalog]
Place it sideways.

[plastic crinkling]

Hey!

[in Korean]
Get him!

Please don't k*ll me! Please, Mr. Cha.

I'm sorry. I'll pay you back.

You don't need to.

MOOSIK: Deokbae.

I'm leaving now. And so will you.

I hope you remember
not to steal other people's money

in the afterlife too. All right?

Don't scam people.

Hey.

k*ll this b*stard and dice him up...

[in English]
Uh, slice, slice.

Put him in the plastic bag.

[in Korean]
What? Mr. Cha!

-[in Tagalog] Get him.
-[in Korean] I'm out.

Mr. Cha, I'm so sorry.
I'll pay you back! Mr. Cha!

[Deokbae shouting indistinctly]

DUKBAE: Mr. Cha!

[Deokbae shouts]

[Deokbae grunts, yells]

[in English]
You two stay here, just in case.

I'll be back tomorrow morning.

-Okay.
-Yes, Boss.

Mr. Lee.

SEUNGHOON: Mr. Lee.

Hey there.

-It looks like you're busy.
-Gosh, no.

Mr. Lee...

Have you heard anything else
about Charlie?

Charlie? Oh, right.

[inhales sharply]

Nothing yet.

Uh...

So, I was thinking...

I'm going to put out a reward
on the Korean Association website.

-That way, we'll get a lot more reports.
-Mm-hmm.

[inhales sharply]

[frustrated sigh]

You know, this service center
is a lot bigger than I thought.

How long have you been here?

Here?

About ten years.

Wow, ten years?

You must know all the Koreans here.

-Not all of them.
-[both laugh]

I just know a few people
who are active in the community.

[laughs]

Mr. Lee, by any chance,

do you know these people?

Yes, I do.
He was an agent at the Bolton Casino.

-Right.
-Yes.

-Do you know about the recent m*rder case?
-Yes.

Do you happen to know
any of their friends or acquaintances?

Uh... Sanggu?

-Sanggu?
-There's this guy, Sanggu.

He works at the Bolton Casino too.

He treated that guy like his own brother.

My goodness.

I ran into him a while ago.

I mean, damn.

He's having a hard time.
I mean, of course, he is.

Also,

I'm sorry for asking you
so many questions,

but we saw Mr. Cha
at the Bolton Casino last time, remember?

Moosik, yeah. What about him?

What do you think of him?

Cha Moosik?

[laughs]

I mean, the reason I'm saying this is

because he knew all about the evidence
related to the sugarcane field murders.

On top of that,
Sojung and Philip also worked for him.

I mean, this can't be a mere coincidence--

Hey!

Inspector Oh!

You see, Cha Moosik, uh...

he's basically... super nosy. Very nosy.

He gets involved in everything.

You know how some people go crazy
if they don't know something?

There are a lot of those people
in Korea too, right?

All right.

It's hot out here. Let's go to my office

and drink some iced coffee, okay?

[both laugh]

YOONGI: I knew it right
when I saw his face.

Another soju, please.

So I got the number from the chief
and started investigating him right away.

Then they started talking about
how his last name is Lee

and his date of birth, or whatever.

So I was like,

"You're Cha Moosik, right?"

-Then he was like,
-[laughs]

"Hello? I can't hear you."

Then he just hung up on me.

-My goodness.
-That's hilarious.

-That actually happened?
-Yes.

Gosh.

Anyway,

that guy's working
with Mr. Seo right here.

It's a small world after all, right?

So it is.
[laughs]

That f*ck.

He always acts so tough,

but he's nothing in front of Mr. Jo.

YOUNGHEE: Have you heard?

Mr. Cha ratted out Charlie.

Who's Charlie?

Wait, Kim Kyungyoung? The sugarcane guy?

-Yes.
-Mm.

He worked together with the Korean Desk.

Charlie's still on the run.

What happened to Charlie?

YOONGI: You don't know about
the sugarcane field m*rder?

Two Koreans got k*lled.

He did that.

Damn, so that's why
I haven't been able to reach him.

Anyway, it's so hard
to see Mr. Min nowadays.

-Why?
-CHILGU: I mean,

I wanted to talk to Mr. Min
about something.

He's busy. If you have something to say,
you can talk to me about it.

-Okay.
-Haven't you talked with Mr. Cha yet?

He's Mr. Min's right-hand man.

You can reach Mr. Min directly
through him.

-Oh, really?
-[loud thwack]

Says who?

He's just an as*h*le that runs a junket.

I'm the one who handles everything.
He's not even a real gangster.

He just f*cking pretends to be one.

[awkward laughter]

So you rank higher than him?

Mr. Seo. What g*ng were you with
back in Korea?

Why?

-Would you know if I told you?
-YOONGI: I mean,

I used to be a cop, you know?

I'd probably recognize it.

-That's cold!
-[in English] I'm so sorry!

-What the f*ck!
-[in English] Sorry.

You b*tch!

-You stupid little sh*t…
-[in English] I'm so sorry.

-I'm so sorry.
-It's okay, it's okay.

Get out of my sight, b*tch!

Mr. Choi, what's with you?

YOONGI: What's up with you?

I just hate it
when things like this happen.

-I'm sorry.
-[laughs]

Please eat.

I'm sorry.

CHILGU: Sorry about that, Yoongi.

[groans]

[door clattering]

[Deokbae breathing heavily]

-[groans]
-[phone chimes]

[tense breathing]

What the hell?

He's still alive.

What happened?

Mr. Cha.

I swear I'll pay you back.

Please just give me a chance.

Hey, Deokbae.

Wow, you're one lucky b*stard.
How come they let you live?

Mr. Cha, if I end up not paying you back,

you can do whatever you want to me.

Please just trust me, Mr. Cha.

[Deokbae sighs]

Can I really trust you?

Of course.
[sobs]

Just let me make a phone call.
I'll tell them to wire it right away.

[in English]
Untie him.

[pained grunt]

Give me the phone.

[scared breathing]

[strained grunt]

[in Korean]
Hey, Deokbae. Here's your phone.

-And this one's a prepaid phone.
-Yes, sir.

That one has the numbers
for the Korean Embassy

and the Korean
International Criminal Investigation Unit.

So you can call them and rat us out.

Report us.

Why would I report you, Mr. Cha?
I'd never do that.

Just do it. I'm being serious.

Feel free to report us.

But, Deokbae,

if you're actually considering
paying us back,

here's the account number.

Send the money to this account.

Yes, sir.

Also, there are 30 hours
of call time in that phone.

Take your time.

I'm leaving, then.

[shaky breathing]
Goodbye, sir.

I'll send you the money
by the end of the day.

MOOSIK [in English]: Okay! Thank you.

DUKBAE: Hey, Jongpil. It's me.

It's me, Deokbae.

I'm in the Philippines!

How much money do you have right now?

Just send all the money you have.

I don't care if you have to borrow it.
Just send it, you f*ck!

Auntie.

You know the land that Grandpa left?

Can I borrow money
with that as collateral?

It's my land anyway.

Mija.

Honey, it's me, Deokbae.

I'm calling you because

I really need some money right now.

-Is there any way...
-[phone chimes]

SANBERTUAN, CALIZ

-[crowd cheers]
-[exclaims]

Awesome!

[in English]
It's a very beautiful hotel.

[laughs]

-Thank you.
-Perfect for our beautiful city.

[laughs]

A very good addition
to our beautiful city.

[in Tagalog] I heard there was a delay
in the delivery because of the permit.

[in English]
Yes.

[in Tagalog]
I can take care of that.

[in Korean]
I'll take this...

Go easy on the food.

SEOKJUN: Moosik.

-Yes, sir. Hello.
-Hey.

Taeseok worked really hard
to put this together.

Judging by his performance,
I think we could hand this over to him.

Good work.

[snorts]

TAESEOK: Hey.

Aren't you going to say hi to me?

[scoffs]

Those f*cking b*stards.

Hey.
[clicks tongue]

-Is the food to your liking?
-Oh, yes.

-All right.
-I'm Choi Chilgu.

Hello. Thank you.

We meet again, Mr. Cha.

[surprised breathing]

YOONGI: I saw you in Manila before.

I'm Jo Yoongi of the embassy.

Oh, yes.
[awkward laugh]

MOOSIK: What brings you here?

YOONGI: I'm close to Chilgu here.

So I'm here to congratulate him.

Oh, right.

I heard that you moved here from Manila.

-[scoffs]
-SEOKJUN: Oh, my.

You were the consul.

I'm the CEO, Min Seokjun.

It's nice to meet you.

-I've heard a lot about you.
-It's nice to meet you as well.

I heard that your term is ending soon

and that you're going back to Korea.

It was extended by two years.

Oh, I see.

It's not a feast,

-but I hope you enjoy the food.
-Sure.

[Seokjun chuckles]

[inhales sharply]

Those f*cking b*stards…

[scoffs]

Does he think he's a singer
in that get up?

Hey.

Hey.

Come over here.

Have you been running your mouth about me?

Why would I do that?

I only talked about Lee Hochul.

Enjoy the food.

[sighs]

-Mr. Min.
-What's with that as*h*le?

-[sighs]
-Are you going to keep that guy?

He's got the right looks.

He keeps away the pests.

Try to understand, okay?

[sighs]

MAN 1 [in English]: Hello.

Hey, man.

Can I help you?

No, I'm just looking around. Thanks.

All right. Okay.

These are, um, only
for the residents, right?

Yes. For residents only.

Yes.

Can I, um, I don't know, see those?

Yes, sure.

I have here a Colt 9 mm.

Yeah.

And this one is a limited edition.

Colt .45.

Combat trigger, combat hammer,

-VZ Grips.
-Mm.

Would you like to hold it?

-Can I?
-Yes. I'll just clear it out.

[c*ck g*n]

Okay. Clear.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

It already has railings

so that you can use it
for lasers, flashlights.

Mm.

[indistinct chatter]

-Is everything going well?
-Yes.

-You're winning?
-You're doing pretty well today.

-Hello.
-Hey.

How are things?

Mr. Jung is over there.

Where?

Over there, by table six.

How much has he lost so far?

About six billion.

Is he making his deposits on time?

It used to take him
about three to four days,

but now, it takes him about two weeks.

So he's run into an obstacle.

From now on, if he asks for a loan,
don't just give it to him.

Wait a little bit.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jung.

How are things going, Mr. Jung?

I'm just trying to make a profit.
You know that.

Come on, Mr. Jung.

Six billion is a bit tough.

I mean, you can't just win six billion
in a single game. Come on.

Mr. Jung.

Aim for 60 million won at once, okay?
In one day.

You know that
from winning a couple of times.

On the next day,
since you won 60 million won,

aim for 30 million, then 20 million.

That way, you can leave
before you lose any money, right?

That's how you build your winnings.
You can't just win six billion in one go.

[sighs]
You're right.

That's what I should do.

Mr. Jung, you know that CEO
in the IT industry?

-Kim Sangsik?
-Yes.

Well, he won 22 billion won
in two months, okay?

This is a long-distance race.

[sighs]

You're right, Moosik. You're right.

[groans]

I was stupid. I was being so stupid.

No, you can do it too.

Just be persistent.
This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Don't be too impatient.

Little by little, okay? Little by little.

Okay.

You've got this, Mr. Jung.

JUNGPAL: Boss.

What happened to that psycho
with the tattoos?

Hey, what happened to your face?

I just ran into something.

Let me look. What happened?

[sighs]
Boss, you know what Taeseok is doing?

That f*ck is trying to act like
he's the boss,

and I can't put up with it.

He did this to you?

If I hadn't held myself back,
he'd be dead by now.

That f*cking punk.
[clicks tongue]

[sighs]

[phone chimes]

-[line ringing]
-[sighs]

Hello?

It's me. Where are you?

This part isn't coming off.

We'll take care of that.

[sighs]

I'm busy. What do you want?

Sit down.

Come on, sit down over here.

[grunts]

Look, Taeseok.

I'm sick of this.
What's up with you these days?

Why do you act out so much?

And why are you going around
beating up the boys?

Do you think they're your servants
or something?

You little sh*t.

TAESEOK: You should be embarrassed.

You told on me just because I gave you

-a little beating?
-Hey, Taeseok.

Just listen to me
while I'm still being nice.

Okay?

Don't ever mess with my guys again.

All right?

I messed with them

because they have absolutely no respect.

[sighs]

My goodness.
[scoffs]

[sighs deeply]

Hey, Taeseok.

How long are you planning
to stay in the Philippines?

[slight chuckle]

That's none of your business.

Hey, Mr. Gangster.

Am I getting on your damn nerves
by staying here?

[Taeseok laughs]

Watch your g*dd*mn mouth,
you f*cking b*stard.

[sighs]

Was that beating not enough for you?

How dare you butt in
while the adults are talking?

Who the hell do you think you are?

Get lost!

You f*cking b*stard.

TAESEOK: You... f*cking b*stard!

Let go of me!

[Taeseok breathes heavily]

Hey, Taeseok.

MOOSIK: Look.

Do you think these guys

haven't been fighting back
because they're complete idiots?

No. They were being nice to you
even though you were being a turd

because you had seniority.

You're so full of sh*t!

Hey, get him up.

[Taeseok breathes heavily]

[strained grunting]

f*ck!

[breathing heavily]

[clicks tongue]

[shaky sigh]

[sighs lightly]

Hey, Taeseok.

Listen to me very closely.

[huffing angrily]

I bet you think this entire country
belongs to you

and that I'm just one of your lackeys
because you're working for Mr. Min now.

[huffing angrily]

Let's think about this.

You used to run a whorehouse in Korea,
then you screwed up.

Now you're here, simply managing a venue.

I started from rock bottom,

and I built up this casino
while working for Mr. Min.

Who do you think Mr. Min trusts more?

f*ck you.

You're having a lot of fun
in the Philippines, aren't you?

You've got a nice life here,
and you get to look cool too.

But there are hundreds of guys out there

who are waiting
to manage a venue like you.

You punk, you see this lightbulb?

You can be replaced at any time,
just like this lightbulb.

Know your place.

-All right?
-[frustrated breathing]

Hey, listen.

This is my last warning.

If you pull another stunt like this,

you'll never be able
to set foot in this country again.

MOOSIK: Okay?

Now, go.

f*ck this!

[sighs deeply]

[phone vibrating]

[surprised grunt]

Oh.

[sniffs]

[phone vibrating]

[sighs]

[sniffs, clears throat]

Hello, this is Jo Yoongi.

WOMAN 2: Sir, where are you?

I'm going to a meeting. Why?

The Korean National Police Agency called,

and apparently, a Korean tourist
was kidnapped in Caliz.

-Kidnapped?
-WOMAN 2: Yes, sir.

His name is Ham Deokbae,
and he lives in Yeongdeunpo-gu.

He called people from Caliz,

asking them to send money,
and said he'd die if they didn't.

Shh.

Hold on. Mr. Ham was the one who called?

Are you sure he was kidnapped?

WOMAN 2:
The International Investigation Unit

sent a special request

saying they want this dealt with properly,
since his dad was a Vietnam w*r veteran.

Well, which hotel did he stay in?

WOMAN 2: The Bolton.

Okay, I'll look into it.

-sh*t. I have to do things like this now?
-[phone chimes]

[engines revving]

[door opens]

[in Tagalog]
I got chicken.

I'm hungry.

[door closes]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[smacks lips]

[in English]
Hey, Hoon.

Yes?

Have you eaten?

No, not yet.

I have an extra.

It's supposed to be for my colleague,
but he had an emergency.

You want it?

Yes, sure.

Where do you wanna eat?
You wanna eat with them? Or just here?

Here is fine. Yes.

Okay.

What do you call this again?

It's chicken adobo.

You like it?

Actually, yeah. It's really good.

-And it's cheap.
-Mm.

Oh!

You should try my home-cooked version.

This is nothing compared to that.

I would love to.

Why don't you visit my house?

Have dinner sometime?

My wife and I, we cook
the best chicken adobo in town.

Sounds great, yeah.

Why not tonight? Have dinner.

-Tonight?
-Yes.

No, man. I can't.

Can't bother your family like that, man.

Oh, it's okay. It's perfectly fine.

-Maybe later.
-[phone vibrates]

One second, I've got to...

MARK: Okay, sure.

[phone vibrating]

[in Korean]
Yes, Mr. Jo.

Have you heard the news?

A Korean was kidnapped in Caliz.

Kidnapped? No.

YOONGI: Apparently,
it's a guy named Ham Deokbae.

He stayed at the Bolton.

The Bolton? That's the hotel
where Mr. Cha runs his casino, right?

Oh, so our very own Hochul
is in charge of that place?

Hochul?

[rooster crowing]

[phone vibrating]

[in English]
Hello?

YOONGI [in Korean]:
Hello. Is this Cha Moosik?

Yes, it is. Who are you?

I'm Jo Yoongi from the Korean Embassy.

Oh, okay. What's up?

YOONGI: I have a quick question for you.

Do you know a man named Ham Deokbae?

MOOSIK: Yes, I do.

Oh.

Did you kidnap Mr. Ham, then?

What? Kidnap?

Hey. Watch what you're saying.

YOONGI: What I'm saying is,
do you have Mr. Ham with you right now?

Yes, he's with me.

Then you did kidnap him.

Hey, punk.

He's staying with me. I didn't kidnap him.

MOOSIK: You're nothing but a lowly consul.

How dare you?
[clicks tongue]

Mr. Cha.

What is it?

YOONGI: I'm guessing he borrowed money
from your casino.

Just let him go.

MOOSIK: Hey, you b*stard.

If somebody borrowed


would you let him go
without paying you back?

You b*stard. How big is your paycheck?

Sir, please calm down.

MOOSIK: You little sh*t. How dare you?

You would probably start whining
if somebody owed you ten million won.

Who the hell do you think you are
to tell me to let him go?

Mr. Cha. If you keep this up,
we'll have no choice but to use force.

Do whatever the f*ck you want!

MOOSIK: I'm hanging up.

Hello?

[phone chimes]

This guy's f*cking nuts.

Fifty thousand won,

hundred thousand won.

How much do we have here?

It's 120 thousand won.

Wow, look at you.

So you somehow managed
to gather up 50 million won, did you?

[Moosik grunts]

[sucks teeth]

All right.

Tell me what you learned

from your stay here.

Did you learn anything?

Everything, sir.

Everything that I've ever done
in my life...

I truly regretted it all and repented.

DUKBAE: If you give me another chance,

I'll become a different man.
[sobs]

Sir, I've turned over a new leaf.

Deokbae.

Cut the crap.
I have a bone to pick with you.

I can't believe you actually reported me
after I told you to.

You've really lost your f*cking mind,
haven't you?

I didn't report you, sir.

You punk.

The Korean Embassy called me
and told me to let you go!

The Korean Embassy?

MOOSIK: Sorry, Deokbae.

There's no way I'm letting you go now.

I mean, if I let you go,

and you started talking about this,
then we'd all be screwed.

f*ck.

I think my dad did that.
I can take care of it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Cha.

Shut the f*ck up.

You've already screwed up,
and now you want to clean up your mess?

[panicking]
Mr. Cha!

Please, sir. I'll take care of it.

What's wrong with him?

My dad has a disability.

He's a Vietnam w*r veteran,
and he's always home.

I'll take care of this, I swear.

I only asked for money.
I didn't say anything else.

Whatever.

Please, Mr. Cha.
I'm telling you the truth.

I can do it!

-[sighs]
-[Deokbae sobs]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[horns honking]

[Jungpal exclaims]

JUNGPAL: This is no joke.

Hey, Boss.

Have you been collecting your money
like this the entire time?

Hey.

Do you think my job is easy?

Why do you think I do that?

To get rich by myself?

I'm trying to get all of us rich, okay?

I didn't realize you cared so much.

[exclaims]

Damn, this is crazy.

JUNGPAL [laughs]: Just look at him.

Mr. Cha, I'm sorry
I kept you waiting so long.

Did you have fun?

Yes.

Gosh, I...

[sighs]

What? Spit it out.

Well, I wanted to ask,

could I go and play for just a bit longer?

[laughter]

-What an idiot.
-You're flying around like a bumblebee.

Sure. Do whatever you want.

DUKBAE: Thank you, Mr. Cha.

[laughing]

Come on, Boss.
"Flying around like a bumblebee"?

He basically escaped from hell itself.

He's probably loving his life right now.

[laughs]

[in English]
Hey, you!

[in Korean]
She's Rose's friend.

[in English]
Give me back my phone!

Me?

Yes. I know you took it, you filthy liar.

No, I didn't. Why?

[snorts]
That's my question.

I hope you aren't as stupid as Rose.

What the f*ck are you talking about?

Come on.

You know why I needed it.

[snorts]
You're not making any sense.

Making sense?

Why are you angry? Calm down. Relax.

[snorts]

Now, make sense?

I'm looking for Rose.

You still talk to her?

I had her on the phone, just yesterday.

Great.

Then help me out here, okay?

[scoffs]

[clicks tongue]

MARK: Hey, Hoon.

How sure are you about the intel you got?

SEUNGHOON: About fifty-fifty? Who knows.

Hey, how come we don't have backup again?

I told you, Filipino cases are priority.

We have too many of them.

Besides, it's just one man.

We can handle him, right?

[sighs]
All right.

[brakes squeal]

[birds chirping]

-Hey, Mark.
-Yes, what?

You got the, uh...
You got the warrant, right?

Yes. It's right here in my pocket.

I can't breathe in this thing, man.

[Seunghoon exhales]

KALAMANSI RESORT

-[in Tagalog] Hello.
-WOMAN 3: Hello.

Is this man staying here?

Why are you asking?

[in Taglish]
Uh, suspect in some m*rder case.

[birds chirping]

[in Tagalog]
He's staying here with a Filipino woman.

Thank you so much.

-[in English] Hey. Well?
-What's up?

-He's here.
-He's here?

Okay. Um, can you show us
the way to the room?

Me?

-Can you?
-Um, okay.

Okay, good.

Please don't make a scene.

Okay. Where's the room?

-Over there.
-Over there?

Yes.

This area is way too open, man.

He can see us at any time.

SEUNGHOON: Shh, shh, shh.

Is it here?

-There.
-Wait.

This is good.

[in Tagalog]
Is there another way to get in there?

Here, and there.

Thanks. Okay.

[in English]
I'll go this way. Yeah?

Hey, hey. Whoa.
Where do you think you're going?

We have to split up.

No, you stay here.

Leave the rest to me.

Come on, man. Look, it's our only chance.

I mean, we might lose the f*cking guy.

-I don't care.
-[sighs]

You stay here like we talked about.

And don't make me tell you again.

[birds chirping]

[surprised breathing]

ROSE: Oh, my god!

-Grab him!
-Run, Charlie!

It's the police! Go!

[groans]

[overlapping chatter]

[Bolton employees cheering, applauding]

[laughter]

Come on, you're out.

-[laughs]
-[indistinct chatter]

I think he has something against me.

Hey, Boknam!

-Can you get us some cold water?
-[groans]

And cut up a watermelon for them.

-Sure.
-Get them ready.

Is that where it is?

-I can't move like I used to.
-It's hard. It's so tiring.

It's not the same anymore.

Here.

Thanks.

[Moosik exhales]

That's refreshing.

[groans]

Moosik.

Yes?

I've achieved all of my dreams now.

And it's all thanks to you.

[Moosik exhales]

When I met you for the first time,

I thought to myself that
you were really something else.

And I was right.

[awkward laughter]

I'm flattered.

I mean...
[sniffs, smacks lips]

...you pulled me out of the mud, Mr. Min.

I'll always be thankful for that.
Thank you, sir.

Oh, stop.

[sniffles]

You really are impressive.

I mean, how is it that you treat gangsters
like they're little kids?

Mr. Min, they're just big babies.

They're kids. Aren't they kind of cute?

[laughs]

Is Taeseok...

still causing a lot of trouble?

In the past, I just let him be
because he was so clingy.

But now he keeps trying to challenge me,
and he's always causing problems.

I don't think we can just let him be.

I'm sorry, Mr. Min.

I'll take care of it.

[smacks lips]

[sighs]

[phone buzzes]

SEOKJUN: My goodness.

KOREAN DESK OH SEUNGHOON
WE ARRESTED HIM. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

JUNGPAL: Hey, Boss.

Boss, let's play another round.

Sure.

Okay. I'll join in later.

Come on, Boss.
Can't you join us right now? We're losing.

Hey, get in there.

Okay, just keep playing.
I'll join you guys later.

Pass it.

-Here.
-Okay.

Mr. Min, why don't you play
one more round?

-Oh, no way.
-What?

[both laughing]

-Man, this is hard.
-Go and play.

-All right.
-Yes.

One second, Mr. Min.

-I need to get this.
-Sure.

[in English]
Hello?

AGILES POLICE STATION

POLICE CHIEF: Mr. Cha, can we talk?

MOOSIK: Sure.

We got word from the Korean Embassy,

asking us to aid them in arresting
a suspect in a kidnapping.

So?

POLICE CHIEF:
You're the suspect they want.

What?

He already went back to Korea.

Really?

We have permission to k*ll you
if you resist.

Permission to k*ll?

I don't know what the deal is
with the Korean Embassy.

All right.

I'll take care of it.

You gave them permission to sh**t me?

I warned you, didn't I?

Oh, come on.

YOONGI: You thought I was kidding?

Oh, yeah? You f*cking scumbag.

You live in Hwaseong, right?

And your daughter goes
to that international kindergarten.

You f*cking b*stard.
I'll show you how much you'll regret it

within the next 72 hours.

You got that, f*cking scum?
I'm hanging up.
