Damn.
Oh.
I really like this place because it's got this…
…beautiful view, right?
For no good reason, though.
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…
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…
…do you wanna be the new ruler of the square?
MERCY FOR NONE
Oh, for fuck's sake. I thought you were dead.
Wow, Lee Ju-woon, that fucking bastard. Huh?
Hey, wait, wait.
You're not thinking clearly because of your brother--
Damn it!
It's been a while.
See you later.
On your way?
We're ten minutes out.
Holy shit.
I almost went to be with the Lord Jesus fuckin' Christ.
Nam Gi-jun. Oh…
So that bastard is as crazy as they say, huh?
DIRECTOR LEE JU-WOON
Why did you do that, you silly motherfucker?
So, you want me to track down the guy who took off in this car?
Is that it?
This is the last one.
Then you'll never see me again.
Listen, Gi-jun.
You know how this fucking loser managed to survive this long?
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 shit if you mess with all of that.
But when it was Gi-seok, you decided to take that job, right?
PLANNING AND BUDGET DEPARTMENT SUPERINTENDENT CHA YEONG-DO
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.
Hey. I got to meet Nam Gi-jun, thanks to you.
Well, I've gotta say, this isn't like you,
pulling this kind of bullshit thing behind my back.
We should meet sometime soon.
To play the message again…
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?
I don't even know where to begin with all this.
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 goddamn mind?
Cha Yeong-do is a crazy bastard. 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 bastard!
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.
NAME: LEE JU-WOON
SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT APPLICATION
You little shit!
You think you can stop me with that goddamn warrant?
You think that Shin and Park are gonna pay attention to you?
If they won't…
…I'll make them pay attention.
Just watch me.
We should get going.
Sir, I'm sorry.
Mm.
Hey, Mr. An. Yeah.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
Are you prepared to even the score with Nam Gi-jun now?
You should take my car there.
Nam Gi-jun will find you on his own.
AUTHORIZED VEHICLES ONLY
Huh? Ma'am, come take a look!
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.
What's he doing here?
JUWOON
Gentlemen… I look forward to working with you from now on.
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.
What are you all doing? Let's go.
What do you think you're doing? Get outta my way!
Bastards.
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.
Oh, Tae-hwan.
Why did you do it?
Eleven years ago…
Why didn't you just kill me then?
Fuck.
This is humiliating.
We should end this.
Pick it up.
Can we end this?
Don't you see?
You should've killed me then.
Son of a bitch.
Humiliated to the very end.
Gi-jun.
In this world…
it never ends
until we're all dead.
I know.
Go and…
…find him.
MR. KIM CALLING…
Welcome in.
So this is how it ends.
Certainly looks like it.
So then,
do you regret it?
Doing what you've done?
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.
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--
Yeah.
Just calm down.
You fucker.
You little…
You all right, sir?
Don't move!
We're on our way.
You're under arrest on suspicion of Lee Ju-woon's murder.
Ju-woon.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to speak to an attorney.
And you have the right to remain silent.
-Wait outside. -Boy, what happened here?
Why did you do this? Huh?
So we meet again, and so soon.
Hm?
What is it?
Feel wronged?
Yeah.
Oh shit.
Ugh, he's so strong for an old man.
Shit.
You see what happened? Why did you have to do this?
Huh?
Why couldn't you just look the other way?
You could've… just turned a blind eye.
That's what you've been doing for the last ten years! Goddamn it.
All because of your damn kid.
That's it, then.
Don't worry about…
…your little boy.
For fuck's sake.
And our plan
simply wouldn't have been possible without you.
Eleven years ago,
and now.
Is that why you did it?
Did you kill
Gi-seok…
to get to me?
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.
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?
Sir. SIU.
Here. Nam Gi-jun's case.
We're taking it over, and we'd appreciate your cooperation.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION NO ENTRY
Is this where I die?
You little shit!
Let go!
Bastard.
You're so dead, you piece of shit.
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.
Shit, I don't know.
So then,
why are you helping me?
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.
Son of a bitch.
Making a living is damn hard.
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.
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.
Mm-hmm.
You haven't answered my question yet.
Why are you helping me?
Guys, we'll be here all night at this rate. Pick up that pace.
You could get yourself killed.
You're right.
Oh, right.
Here.
Take this burner. It's safe to use.
And…
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 shit.
You know what I mean, right?
Well, go on.
That's it, then.
Don't worry about your little boy.
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.
SEIZE AND SEARCH WARRANT CHA YEONG-DO
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
All right, let's go.
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.
Ugh. Guess he's picked up on it.
All right, make sure to take everything.
Leave nothing behind.
Look,
if Cha Yeong-do doesn't turn up, this is going to be on you.
What's going on here?
Come on, let's move!
-Come on, that's enough. -Ugh, you've gotta be fucking kidding me.
Hi, what's up?
Sir, you can't come into the office right now.
The prosecution is doing a search and seizure.
-Sir? Sir? -Oh, goddamn it.
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--
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 fuck are you doing right now?
Did you really think I wouldn't find out?
My father
wasn't killed 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.
Shit.
This phone is turned off.
You will be directed to voicemail
and charged at the beep.
Hey, asshole.
I told you to call me back.
You wanna get back on the Interpol wanted list? Huh?
Get back to me right now.
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 kill for me,
Mr. Kim Gil-lok.
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.
You got the stuff?
I just picked it up. I'm on my way.
Keep an eye out for any tails.
Yes, sir. I'll be there soon.
That goddamn little brat. Hm.
JUWOON GROUP JW GALLERY MONEY LAUNDERING REPORT
MERCY FOR NONE
You're Chairman Lee's son, so how did you find me?
8 MONTHS EARLIER
No, better yet, why did you?
PLANNING AND BUDGET DEPT 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.
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 war between Juwoon and Bongsan
by killing Nam Gi-seok?
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.
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?
We'll use Gu Jun-mo
and make him take out Nam Gi-seok.
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?
