God, my head's killing me.
We need more people on the hoses!
How long until the fire's out?
We'll have it out shortly. The firefighters are preparing to enter.
Search from the left.
- Search the central stairs too. - Yes, sir!
It's dark in here. It's much darker inside, so…
What the heck?
Captain! We've found a survivor in the second-floor stairway!
What's their status?
I saw him move.
I think he's alive!
Excuse me, sir. Can you hear me?
- Sir, hang in there. - Coming through!
Hang in there. We're almost there.
- What's his condition? - He's a burn victim.
- His oxygen levels? - Eighty.
- His blood pressure? - 100 over 70.
- One second. - One, two, three!
- Does he have a contact? - His identity is unknown.
What happened?
A fire in a derelict building in Guhoe.
This was the biggest hospital nearby.
- I need morphine. - Yes, sir.
Wait. We can't give him morphine.
He could go into shock.
The pain will be unbearable.
Sir, we're going to treat you now.
It's going to hurt, but you need to stay with us.
Don't hold it in and scream, okay?
- Cut the clothes first. - Okay.
- Please hold him down here. - Got it.
Here's some saline.
We did our very best,
but we couldn't perfectly reconstruct your skin.
We struggled more than we expected with the wounds on your face.
You inhaled a lot of smoke, so your airways are damaged.
Your voice won't sound like it used to.
Let's see.
Wait, there's no name here.
- They rushed him in as an emergency case. - I see.
I'm Park Jae-yeong.
Have you contacted your family?
I have no family.
I see, so you don't have a guardian.
Please take good care of Mr. Park.
Yes, sir.
What's up?
Let's go.
PARK JAE-YEONG
You saved my life.
Thank you.
KARMA
FIFTEEN DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE
THIS IS YOUR LANDLORD YOU HAVEN'T PAID THREE MONTHS' RENT
Rent, my ass.
Man, something's gotta give.
ASSHOLE: CONGRATS! TODAY'S THE DAY
ASSHOLE
It's none other than the Bentley Flying Spur.
Look at the exterior. It's luxurious-- high-end--
Now, let's go inside--
This car could totally be yours.
Do you see I've made 500 million won? This isn't a scam.
I was sure I could turn a profit at this interval,
so I used leverage, something like 30 or 40 times.
This rude-ass asshole.
It's way too early for this. How many damn times is he gonna call?
Even if you can only invest a little, just trust me. You will turn a profit.
130M
Sit.
Why aren't you answering my calls?
Well, I was just…
I think I just--
You little shit.
Sir, please.
"Asshole"?
No, I didn't mean--
Don't you think "asshole" is a bit rude?
Please, just let me explain.
I'm your elder.
Please hear me out, sir!
Sir.
How do you feel now?
This is why you should have believed me.
You wouldn't believe me, so I had no choice.
- I'll pay you back. - I had to bring you on a field trip.
Sir, I'm going to pay you back. I'll pay you back. I will!
Of course you will. Only an idiot wouldn't pay me back after seeing this.
I swear I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
All right.
I'm giving you a month. That's more than enough time.
If I don't hear from you by the end of those 30 days,
your body parts
will be used to save others' lives.
Am I crystal clear?
Now then,
let's make sure that you and I never meet again, okay?
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Damn it.
CHAPTER 1 THE MAN WITH LOAN SHARK DEBTS
MONEY DUE D-29
That happened, right?
This way.
Hey! It fell even more.
Where are you going?
So what?
According to you, it should be going up by now.
It's not my fucking fault a neighbor country's at war.
That's not what I meant.
You said you'd pay me back once your coin rises--
Something has to fall before it can start to rise.
Why are you making me so uncomfortable?
Damn… Hey.
If you keep this up, I won't pay you back even if it does rise.
What? Hey, man, come on.
Just calm down, will you?
For fuck's sake.
Stop pestering me like this. You're stressing me out.
All right, I'm sorry.
- Have you eaten yet? - No, I'll eat something now.
If he's dead, he could at least let me know.
FATHER
CALLS FATHER (5)
Stop causing such a scene!
Do you think this place runs on leniency?
Why are you firing me?
I explained it already.
The company isn't doing well!
But I didn't hear anything like that from the others.
You're new, so you're still learning how things work here, right?
I can't fire a veteran employee.
Is it because I'm Korean-Chinese?
You're unbelievable.
You, my friend, have some twisted victim mentality.
If someone heard you, they'd think I was a racist or something.
- You hear me? - My child is very sick.
- I have to send money back home. - That's none of my business.
Our inmate labor partnership ends this month anyway.
We don't need you anymore, Mr. Jang Gil-ryong.
I'll throw in an extra couple of hundred thousand won as severance,
so don't take it personally--
Damn, what's with that guy?
You know I have no power around here!
Man, that guy's totally cutthroat.
Why are all of my contacts dead broke?
I sent you money two days ago. How come you're already asking for more?
It's not like I'm lounging around.
How's the kid doing?
I'll do my best to make some more money as soon as possible,
so hang in there, all right?
Fucking chink.

FATHER
Why didn't you answer my calls? This is urgent, damn it!
I need some money. Quickly.
Yes? That's me.
Who is this?
You're from where?
PAJU TO GUHOE
GUHOE, THE CITY OF HAPPINESS
Oh boy.
Where's Park Dong-sik, the patient?
You'll find him to the left.
You sleeping?
Are you asleep?
Do you even know what your son's going through right now?
How can you sleep?
Excuse me.
Could I please talk to you for a minute?
Why?
It won't take long.
Your father suddenly jumped in front of my car.
I tried my best to avoid him, but…
You saw him, so you'll know.
I barely hit him. It was a slight bump.
Fully loaded with a petrol engine. This is a top-notch trim.
Do you like cars?
What if I do?
I was just…
Trust me, I'm not saying I'm innocent.
I feel horrible about what happened.
Whether you're repenting or not doesn't really matter.
Will your insurance handle it?
Actually, that's why I wanted to talk to you.
The truth is, I can't make an insurance claim.
I was hoping we could settle this between ourselves.
Is that so?
Well, my father is quite old.
- You know? - Right.
And it obviously wasn't a fucking bump.
It was a slight…
Even if that's true, you hit a man with a car.
A few X-rays and some physiotherapy aren't going to magically heal him.
No, of course not.
I know that better than anyone.
Here. Take this.
It's five million won.
It's three million. It's more than I expected.
So he's someone you know?
We used to be close a long time ago.
He's not doing great financially, so I agreed to settle.
Times are hard. There's no point in making matters harder.
How come he drives a luxury imported car when he's struggling?
How come everyone you know is a total disaster?
Driving an imported car doesn't mean you're rich. It's all debt.
Can't you hang out with people who have their shit together?
What happened to your face? Did you get into another fight?
It's complicated.
Why are you still messing around like that at your age?
If you get yourself in trouble again,
I'll make sure that you and I are both dead.
Seriously.
Cut it out, okay?
Has the IV given you newfound energy?
Go home and bring me some clothes and toiletries.
Can I…
Let me borrow this.
I need money urgently. Okay?
Come on, help your son out.
I'll pay you back!
Are you okay?
- How did you know I was here? - You didn't show up to the cathedral.
I got worried and called you,
but a nurse here answered your phone.
It was just a minor bump. I'm totally fine.
My goodness.
You know how to have fun, huh, Dad?
I was wondering why my rent hadn't been paid in months.
So this is where money goes.
What?
You can date, but nothing more. Don't make things complicated later on.
We'll talk later.
I'm so very sorry. I didn't raise my son properly.
How did it go?
You're all good now.
Thank you so much. Thank God you're young and understanding.
All right, then. Take care.
Hold on.
Yes?
- What are you doing? - I smell alcohol.
Sorry? What are you saying?
Come on, don't play dumb.
You were drunk driving.
You reek of alcohol.
Let's not drag this out, shall we?
Another three million,
and I won't tell anyone that you were drunk.
There's an ATM over there.
Goddamn it.
Should I report you, then?
Wait here, then.
What's the passcode?
- Your mom's birthday and mine. - What?
Your mom's is on the fifth, and mine's on the 12th.
Nice number.
On your way here, stop by the cathedral and make a donation.
What? Why? Are you made of money or something?
Should I tell him we're not settling and call the police?
Okay, fine.
My old man sure is sharp.
Too sharp for his own good.
Neat!
DONGHWA LIFE
INSURANCE CERTIFICATE
IN CASE OF DEATH BY MOTOR ACCIDENT OR DISEASE
500 MILLION WON TO IMMEDIATE FAMILY
If I don't come up with something, I'll be dead in a month.
Five hundred million would solve all my problems.
I can't just wait around for my old man to die.
I'd be the one to croak first.
If that idiot had run him over properly, I wouldn't be stuck in this predicament.
This is stressful as fuck.
Excuse me, sir.
Could we ask you a favor?
Can you buy us some cigarettes?
What a day.
Guhoe High hasn't fucking changed a bit since I was there.
It's still writhing with delinquents.
So you're a Guhoe High alumnus.
Then we should ask you more politely.
Please buy us some cigarettes, sir.
Sure, I'll give you some. Here.
Go buy some for yourselves, you brats.
Fucking ridiculous.
It's cold, so go home. You'll catch a cold.
If someone politely asks for a favor,
it's fucking rude of you to just take off.
What? "Fucking"?
Do you pricks have a death wish?
I already have too much on my mind, you fucking bastard!
Come here. I said, come here, you little fucks!
If you can't buy them, figure out a way to steal!
Fuck you, moron!
Come here, you little bastards.
For fuck's sake.
This motherfucking neighborhood!
HOW TO AVOID INHERITANCE TAX ON DEATH BENEFITS
Fucking moron!
He's probably dead.
Are you dead? Does it hurt?
Go on. Search him.
It's all right.
Hey, I found it.
Damn.
Fuck, man!
Whoa, score!
Look. You told us to steal, so we did, sir.
- Wait, hey! - Why?
Holy shit! It's a Rolex.
- Fuck. - Come on!
- Hand it over. - No.
What do you mean, no?
Fuck.
For fuck's sake.
Fucking persistent.
What is this shit?
Underwear? What a loser.
Come on. Let's go.
Hey, wait up!
MONEY DUE D-28
How can someone possibly be left in the street unconscious for hours?
People rarely use that alley. It's hard to even find witnesses.
What about security cameras? There must be some cameras.
Actually, there are no cameras in that area.
What? There are cameras everywhere these days.
We don't have cameras installed in every alley and street in the country.
Our budget's limited.
Where does all our tax money go, then?
Why are you getting up? Just stay lying down.
Where are you going?
Is there anything you remember about the attacker?
No, nothing.
Hey, I found it.
Fuck, man!
You told us to steal, so we did, sir.
Actually, there are no cameras in that area.
We don't have cameras installed in every alley and street in the country.
Our budget's limited.
Hey, do you remember that guy who was fired the other day?
- What? - The Korean-Chinese guy.
Who?
You know, the one with a mean face.
Right, Mr. Jang Gil-ryong.
That's him.
Can you find out his address for me?
Why all of a sudden?
Please, just find out for me!
Okay. Why are you yelling--
LEASE AGREEMENT
Have you got it?
Fuck, you scared me.
Do you know what they're eating?
They take car parts from junkyards in Korea
and sell them to people in Yanbian.
I guess they made good money today, since they're feasting on beef.
Leave unless you're here to sell.
I don't really like it when strangers poach on our turf.
Hey, Jang Gil-ryong.
Don't you know me?
We used to work together.
I guess you don't know me.
Why are you here?
I heard you need a lot of money.
Want a job that pays big?
Just get the job done, and you can earn a small fortune.
How much are we talking?
Sixty million.
I like the sound of that.
Really? I hope you'll like the job too.
Go on and tell me.
What's the job?
I need you to kill someone.
Who would I need to kill?
My father.
Every Friday, my old man goes to this cathedral in Guhoe.
To get to the cathedral, there's an alley you have to walk through.
Deal with him in that alley.
I just need to kill him? That's it?
It needs to look like an accident, not a murder.
Otherwise, I'd be first on the suspect list.
So what do I do?
Wait in the alley, and when he shows up…
run him over.
If I deliberately run him over,
isn't that also murder?
There are no cameras in that alley,
so the police won't know if it was deliberate.
A car accident is just that, an accident.
A hit-and-run.
The insurance payout is 200 million. I'll give you a 30% cut, so 60 million.
That's what you'll get for the job.
Once the job's done, you take the money, pack your things, and go back to China.
End of story.
How can I trust you?
All right, look. I was recording this entire conversation.
We're in the same boat now.
You're hiring me to kill your own father?
Does that bother you?
No.
I actually like it.
It tells me that I can trust your plan.
Please try not to squint.
I'll give you a week's worth of medicine. Come back to see me next week.
This will scar badly, won't it?
The gash wasn't big, so it'll be all right.
I'll assist you with the payment.
Including the wound care, your total comes to 9,000 won.
I'll get your prescription. Please wait.
Here you go.
HAVE YOU GONE NUTS?
Fuck, man. Do I seem like a nice person to you?
Like you said, we're in the same boat now. Don't get mad at me.
How did you find me here?
Didn't you see that night?
Many of my hometown friends are here.
Didn't I tell you that we're not to meet until this whole thing is over?
I thought we should have this conversation in person.
What the hell are you talking about?
I did some research, you see.
Turns out your insurance payout isn't 200 million won.
30% of 500 million is 150 million.
Isn't that the amount I should be getting?
It doesn't matter how much I'm getting.
You agreed to do it for 60 million.
Don't be like that. Partners should trust one another.
If you don't want me to do the job, just say so now.
We can just call off the deal now.
It's tomorrow night.
Got it?
Get the job done quietly,
and I'll come find you.
With your money, 150 million. A 30% cut of the 500 million.
You'd better not be lying to me this time.
If you lie to me again, who knows what might happen to you?
The moment you kill my old man, I'll be a murderer too.
I like that temper of yours.
Wait for the good news.
Fucking chink.
150 million?
Do you think I'm mad enough to give you 150 million, you chink?
I forgot that I had a question.
What will you do tomorrow?
Me?
I plan to be very fucking busy tomorrow.
Hey, it's me.
I'll come later with a friend.
We'll be there around 8:00 p.m. 8:30 p.m. at the latest.
All right.
Hey!
Get in here!
- Hello! - Yes, hello.
My goodness, what's gotten into you?
You're offering to buy me drinks?
You talk as if I never fucking buy.
Well, you haven't recently.
I'm indebted to you for many things, you know.
- Let's have some meat. It's been a while. - Great, let's dig in.
I ordered pork belly, but you can order some beef.
Eat all you want.
All right, sounds good.
Let's see.
Bravo.
It'll burn. Hurry up and eat.
What's their temperatures?
Did you give them meds?
How come the kids are all sick?
- All right - Let's go.
Let's go for round two.
I'm really sorry, but I have to get home.
What? So suddenly?
My wife's home with the kids, and they're sick.
- Come on, let's go. - I really can't!
I booked us girls at the karaoke bar. You can't back out now!
I want to go, too, but you know my wife wears the pants.
- Don't go yet. - Thanks for dinner.
See you at work. I'm sorry!
Chang-seop!
Damn it. That idiot's never helpful.
This complicates things.
You're leaving already, hon?
I'm so sad to see you go.
I have to get going. I really do.
- You should stay. - Hey!
You girls will remember me, right?
Of course we will. You gave us a huge tip.
You have to remember me. I gave you a huge tip, okay?
- Sure. Come again. - Okay.
- I'll come again. - Goodbye.
- All right, see you. - Get home safe! Bye!
Crap.
Order number 58!
- Here. - Thanks.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
Order number 60. Your bulgogi burger combo is ready.
A shrimp combo and one cheese stick, please.
Hello? Can I order?
Here's the shrimp combo and cheese stick!
Order number 62, your takeout order is ready.
All right, let's drive this baby now.
I'm going to go fast and furious on the road today.
Damn.
He didn't go to the restroom once.
Even so, I still think these finishes
aren't good enough for a watch that costs 15 million.
Even taking into account inflation, maybe it would be worth 10 million.
The steep price tag just isn't justified--
Hello?
All right, okay.
I heard you!
The credit card payment isn't due until next month!
Jeez.
However, according to IWC, the value of this iconic watch…
Nice.
- It's lunchtime. Let's eat! - Guys, let's eat!
- Hey, come on. - Let's finish up after we eat.
How come there aren't any jobs these days?
HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT IN GUHOE
NO SEARCH RESULTS
Stupid fucking chink.
Doesn't he know how to use a phone?
Hello?
Hello, this is Chief Park In-seok of the Giyeon Police.
I need to talk to you concerning Mr. Park Dong-sik.
You are his son, are you not?
Yes.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
but your father has passed away.
We need you to come here to confirm that it is him and collect the body.
Are you sure that it's my father?
We'll fill you in on the details when you get here.
Okay, I'm coming now.
Father.
Dad.
Father.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm so sorry.
Oh boy.
What happened to him?
It appears he was in a car accident last night.
Who did it?
Where's the bastard now?
We just launched the investigation, so we don't have any suspects yet.
You don't have any suspects? So you haven't caught them?
- I'm afraid not. - Aren't you a cop?
What do you even do if you can't catch a hit-and-run driver?
Security cameras are everywhere these days!
Yes, that's true, but in this case…
Listen. This accident,
I don't think it was a simple hit-and-run. I think someone deliberately hit him.
"Deliberately"?
That's right. We have a witness statement.
After the car first hit your father,
the driver didn't brake but actually reversed,
as if they wanted to make sure that your father was dead.
Witness? There's a witness?
That's what the witness said?
Yes.
Just a moment.
When I was making the call after witnessing the accident,
a man got out of the car and started following me.
It was dark, so I couldn't really see his face, but…
She must be the witness.
Yes. She went to the same cathedral as the victim.
Just now…
I saw… a man get out of the car, and… Oh no, what should I do?
We'll take your statement in a bit.
Let's go to the morgue first, so you can confirm the wounds.
Okay.
This way, ma'am.
Oh dear.
Excuse me, officer.
In any case, it was a car accident, right?
That's for sure, right?
I mean, it had to be. I'm sure it was just a hit-and-run.
My father never wronged anyone
or did anything to make someone deliberately hurt him.
He lived an honest life.
There's something more important
than the witness statement that makes us think it wasn't an accident.
The victim of a simple car accident wouldn't be found buried underground.
Sorry?
Your father was found in the mountains.
Someone buried him there in secret.
My goodness, are you all right? Sir, please calm yourself.
Wait a second. I'll get you some water.
That son of a bitch.
What have you done? You bastard.
