Original subtitles

Come on, we've got to go.

- We have to go. - Hurry!

Go, all of you!

Move!

Come on, let's go!

Let go!

Come on!

- Let's go, man! - You fucker!

Let go of me! Fuck!

I have to kill him to get paid!

Just run, damn it!

So, you do know?

If you pull this out,

you'll die.

Fuck, I'm screwed.

How am I supposed to clean this up?

This is Han from the Metropolitan Investigation Unit.

We have a homicide.

The address is…

MERCY FOR NONE

119 AMBULANCE

Okay, keep it coming!

Now turn it around! Okay!

Okay, lower it straight down. Be careful.

That's it. Yeah, set it down.

Can we pull out now?

Everything's been washed away.

I want to leave too.

But the higher-ups want it retrieved, however long it takes.

You know, there's an inspection coming up.

Report received. Drowned body found near Jara Island.

Copy that.

Let's head to Jara Island.

To Jara Island! Get the crane out too.

- Clear the barricades! - Let's move.

Doctor, we're on our way.

Please be ready to treat him as soon as we arrive.

The accident happened right after he killed Gu Jun-mo.

Should I look into it more?

You know why I'm calling, don't you?

I need to see you now.

I'm sorry about Jun-mo.

Did you take out Gi-jun?

What do you think?

What do you think was going through my head

when I saw my only child's dead body?

Nothing but revenge, I assume.

That's right.

So if you knew,

why did you do that?

Detective Han rigged Nam Gi-seok's case for money.

I followed the trail,

which led me to a shell company under your corporation.

TRANSACTION HISTORY SENDER, JW GALLERY

You want to know what I think?

You…

never intended to hand over your company to Gi-seok.

Your plan was to kill him, pin it on Jun-mo,

then use that to bait Gi-jun into killing Jun-mo.

And lastly…

kill Gi-jun too…

and hand everything over

to your precious prosecutor son.

That's the best you could come up with? Sounds like a cheap crime novel.

Yeah.

That's the Lee Ju-woon I know.

After all these years, you still don't know me?

Wrong.

You never knew me.

Now,

for this to end,

one of us has to disappear.

Since it's come to this,

let's end it here.

Come on.

We live in a different time now. We can't just spill blood recklessly.

Then what? Are you just going to sit back and let them take us out?

Gu Bong-san has lost it. He's not thinking straight.

He can't be reasoned with.

BONGSAN HEADQUARTERS

What's the situation?

I've contacted everyone available and told them where to meet.

BONGSAN GANG BASE

- Where's the chairman? - He's on his way.

Why are we meeting here?

Hong Hyeon-seok said it should be discreet to stay under Juwoon's radar.

He said that?

Since when are we afraid of Juwoon?

- Who are you? - Stop!

Hey!

- We're from the Prosecutors' Office. - Against the wall.

Quite the turnout, isn't it?

Who the hell are you?

This is a warrant for assault and solicitation of murder.

You'll get the details later.

Please cooperate.

Take them in.

From that side first.

Can you handle this?

Take them out.

How did you know we were here?

All our guys got arrested.

The prosecutors hit us unexpectedly. We couldn't do anything.

Lee Ju-woon.

That son of a bitch must've…

Sir, you need to get out of here.

Gu Bong-san!

That's him!

Damn it!

While the prosecution continues its investigation into the Bongsan Group,

they are doing their best to find its chairman

who disappeared during the probe.

When you served the warrant,

if you'd waited a little longer, you could've gotten Gu Bong-san too.

Just can't get that timing to work, right?

I heard from the investigators that you moved in 30 minutes early.

Why? Did your father put you up to it?

Did your father make you do it… to protect his friend?

I put you in charge, and you went behind my back?

Hope you're ready. You're getting fired for this.

Damn thugs.

You told me before, didn't you?

I should pick a side and prove it.

This is my answer.

You're starting to scare me.

After Gu Bong-san, my father is next.

Are you sure you're ready?

I've been ready

since the day…

I became a prosecutor.

Sir.

Yeah.

Why didn't you call first?

I wasn't expecting you today.

Yeah, that's the thing.

For some time now,

we've been meeting only when it suits you.

Why should I agree with that?

Is… something bothering you?

Yeah.

You told me that

I was the one who could lead this game.

That I had no choice 11 years ago, but now it's different.

Yes,

I remember saying that.

But I still don't have a choice.

Why did you do it,

Mr. Kim… I mean, Cha Yeong-do?

Hold on a second.

You think I'm the one

who went after Bongsan?

I'm not talking about Bongsan.

Before I knew it, money started leaking from my account.

And of all people, it ended up with Detective Han.

Not long after that, Gi-seok was killed,

and Han took the case and buried it fast.

As far as I know, there's only one person who could've made that happen.

So tell me.

Why did you do it?

There's a big flaw in your logic, sir.

Setting up a shell company, bribing a cop,

rigging a case…

And so on.

There's someone else besides me who can do all that.

Someone in prosecution.

Why do you think

that person isn't one of yours? No…

That's just what you want to believe, isn't it?

If you really dragged my son into this, I'll smash your goddamn head in.

Sir, someone once told me

that the older people get,

the more they believe what they want to believe.

Good day, sir.

Take care

of yourself.

Thanks.

- Did you have lunch? - Yes.

Here's Gi-seok's stuff you asked for.

And this is the key to his car.

I swapped the plates, so don't worry about being tracked.

Good job.

It feels damn good now that bastard Gu Bong-san is gone.

It's his dumbass son who put us through all this shit.

You're right. That asshole.

By the way, do you think Lee Ju-woon's son hit Bongsan Group on his own?

Who knows?

Either he did it to make a name for himself,

or Lee Ju-woon made him do it.

But who the fuck cares? What's that got to do with us?

- Hey, Yang-sik. - Yeah.

We don't need to overthink this, okay?

- What do I always say? - Yeah.

The survivor is the strongest.

Just look at Nam Gi-jun.

That pathetic loser should've just kept his mouth shut and moved on.

But no, the dumbass wanted revenge.

What's the point of being the toughest guy if you're dead?

You're right. That dumbass.

That fucking asshole.

I spared that asshole's life, and he still ended up dead.

Unbelievable.

I need to talk to him.

- Sorry? - Alone.

Sure.

Holy shit. Thank God.

You could have knocked.

Have a seat.

Who was it?

What now?

The one who killed me.

Come on, Gi-jun. How would I know that?

You're alive! So what do you mean, "The one who killed you"?

- How could I know? Why-- - Find out.

I'm not asking.

I'm giving you a chance to live.

What about Chun-seok and Byeong-ho?

THE LATE CHOI BYEONG-HO THE LATE KIM CHUN-SEOK

I was going to handle it my way, but it just didn't feel right.

So I cleaned them up and gave them a proper funeral.

It cost me a fortune,

over 14 million…

No, forget it. It doesn't matter who paid.

Those damn fools.

What was the point of trying to be so damn cool?

They should've just kept their heads down and live the way I do.

You're here.

Anything you want to tell me?

If this is about Bongsan Group, there was nothing I could do.

The higher-ups had been planning it for a long time.

I just did what I was told…

Did you meet someone recently?

Who?

Cha Yeong-do.

I mean, Mr. Kim.

What did he tell you?

Did he say he'd let you be a part of this world?

Did he promise to help you take my place?

Father, what are you…

You've always said that

there's no place for me in Juwoon.

And I get that.

I really do.

So honestly, I have no idea what you're even talking about.

I'm just doing my job the best I can.

And besides, nothing's going to change

as long as you're here, right?

Get some rest.

Stop!

It's Juwoon!

You motherfucker!

Sir, Ju-woon is here.

You should get out of here.

I've been a bystander ever since Chairman Oh died.

I always let others make the decisions.

And that's how I managed to survive without getting my hands dirty.

But I was dead wrong.

My hands were already as dirty as they could get. I just didn't see it.

So,

since I'm already in this mess,

I might as well get my hands dirty one last time, sir.

I'll hold them off.

Get him out of here.

Hey!

Don't move!

Hey!

Come on!

Bring it on!

Hold on.

Send everyone out.

I'm sorry about this.

Don't be.

This is just how it goes…

for guys like us.

Just like you,

there's nothing I wouldn't do for my kid.

I hope you understand.

Hang in there.

Your turn's coming soon.

Let's go.

Chairman Gu

is really dead.

I see. Good work.

Like I promised,

you're the boss of Bongsan now.

Yeah, all right.

See? You should've been nicer.

GU BONG-SAN GU JUN-MO

LEE JU-WOON NAM GI-SEOK

LEE JU-WOON

Juwoon called me to clean up after they attacked Bongsan.

But something feels off.

The Lee Ju-woon I know wouldn't make this kind of move.

He made up his mind.

There's something he wants to protect.

Even if it meant killing Gu Bong-san.

Who is this?

It's been so long.

So… how are you holding up?

Of course.

I knew you wouldn't die that easily.

I suppose you have some questions for me.

Did you…

have me killed?

Just like you killed Chairman Gu?

There's someone you don't know about.

If you were the one who set the stage,

he's the one who's been controlling the game since you left.

We call him Mr. Kim.

Come in.

Say hello.

Nice to meet you.

Chairman Oh brought him in through his police connections.

Superintendent Cha Yeong-do, as before.

He gave us internal police intel

and helped cover up our illegal activities.

VETERANS' APARTMENT

At first, Mr. Kim wasn't too greedy.

- How are you doing? - Hello.

- Good to see you, yeah. - Good to see you.

Even after Chairman Oh died, he didn't leave this world behind.

He stayed with me and Bong-san and made a lot of money.

MR. KIM'S SECRET OFFICE

A lot more money than he made back in Oh's time.

But that still wasn't enough for him.

He held our weaknesses

and controlled us from behind the scenes.

Well,

that's how

we managed to keep the peace up until now.

But then…

it suddenly hit me.

Back then and even now…

maybe it wasn't you who started all of this but Mr. Kim.

Because it always bothered me.

Gi-seok was a rookie 11 years ago.

So how did he get information on Chairman Oh's son?

So,

if I kill Chairman Oh's son--

I never told you to kill him.

I'm just saying he's after your brother.

That's all, yeah.

It was Mr. Kim who gave Gi-seok that information.

I understand if you don't believe me.

But just know this. He's pulling the strings again.

Gi-seok's dead, and now he's dragging you into this.

Just like 11 years ago.

I really did plan to hand over the company

to Gi-seok.

But now that he's gone,

there's no one in the group that I can trust.

So I…

want you, Gi-jun,

to take over Juwoon.

Like before,

my choice is the same.

Where do I go

to find that guy?

I'll make him show himself.

DIRECTOR LEE JU-WOON INCOMING CALL

Yes, Chairman.

Right now?

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE

MERCY FOR NONE

But why me, of all people?

I'm not the only director at Bongsan.

Mr. Hong,

let me ask you in return.

What about Juwoon, then?

Who do you think is the right person to take over after Lee Ju-woon?

Nam Gi-seok is dead, so he's out.

Park is too old-school.

If you rule out everyone else,

maybe Choi Seong-cheol?

Exactly.

That's why I chose you.

I ruled out everyone else, which left only you.

Go ahead.

Yes, come in.

It's been a while.

So, I do know him.

Oh, really? That's not what I heard.

He wasn't on your list, Mr. Hong,

but Juwoon Group

already has its rightful successor.

Here he comes.

So…

are you sure you're ready?
