[♪ upbeat music playing]

[person 1] She told me not to contact you, but...

how could I not?

You should say goodbye to her one last time.

She had tuberculosis. We tried all sorts of things.

A month of herbs and such.

Three-beggar ticks and purslane.

All of it, shit. None of it made a difference.

Relax, where's the fire?

Have a drink and catch your breath. [chuckles]

And how was it that you found me?

[person 1] Well, the telephone company, I called and asked,

and they gave me your new telephone number.

"NOT DELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED RECIPIENT"

"SONG GITAEK RETURNED TO SENDER"

Take it easy. Whoa, geez!

[Daesik] Is this deep enough?

[person 1] Yeah, that'll do. Just smooth it out now.

[Daesik sniffs] Okay.

[Daesik grunting]

[person 1] Yeah, that's right. That's Yejin's boy.

So, how did you and Yejin end up meeting?

It was because of him. That's how I met her.

Through Jecheon County Amateur Boxing.

The kid I was coaching got sick and couldn't fight.

4TH JECHEON COUNTY MAYOR'S CUP AMATEUR BOXING TOURNAMENT

-[crowd cheering] -[♪ thrilling music plays]

[coach 1] Come on!

Put 'em up!

[boxers grunting]

[coach 1] Hey! Get him! Uppercut! Uppercut, yeah!

-[crowd cheering] -[coach 2] Yeah!

[coach 1] Let's go, kid. Let's get you some water.

You ready to get up there? Hmm?

-Just try and focus on-- -[inhales sharply]

What's going on? You nervous or what?

I must've ate something bad, Coach.

-[stomach growls] -[person 1] You gotta be more careful.

-Hey, Coach, I'm... -[coach] What?

-I don't think I can fight right now. -Hey.

-[groaning] -[coach] Wait, c'mon, just...

Hey, how are you going to pull your pants down

with the gloves on?

Oh, boy.

Next fighter, blue corner. You're up now.

Where's the fire? Could you give us a minute?

Should I disqualify him?

Ah, come on.

[inhales sharply] Maybe it's crazy...

Do you think I could replace him for the fight?

[wind blows]

[♪ intense music plays]

[coach] There was just something about the look in his eyes.

Like he was a martial arts master.

[crowd clamoring, cheering]

The kid had long limbs, good reach, real grit.

[bell dings]

[Gitaek] So how'd it go?

[shouts]

[grunts]

[gasping]

[coach] That was his first time in the ring.

One punch knocked him out. I thought he died.

-[ref] One. Two. -He was up against a tough opponent.

What?

Then I met his mom, and one thing led to another.

-[bell rings] -He's a sweet kid.

Called me Dad right from the get-go. He's got a good heart.

But even still, seems like he never really felt at home.

"5 YEARS LATER"

He moved into the gym after I married his mom.

With me in the house, it was probably awkward.

I get it. It's not easy living with a stranger

when you're a grown man.

[Gitaek sighs]

[Gitaek] I see a lot of empty bottles.

He can really put it away.

Eating and drinking, that's all he does.

He's gone into debt over it. That's how much he loves his vices.

[♪ sentimental music plays]

[Gitaek sighs]

[Gitaek] So how old is Daesik now?

The boy is 26.

His mother and I got married around five years ago.

-[sighing] -[door opens]

FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A BEE

You...

You know who I am, don't you?

Yes.

Then come live with me in Seoul.

[sighs] Okay.

And from now on, you need to stop drinking.

Yes, Father.

[breathing heavily]

[sighs]

All right, next diver. Jeonchul, you're up now.

You're fucking kidding me. Are you serious?

Did you see what just happened? And you want me to go in?

Why don't you get in there, then?

-You little assmonkey. -[grunts]

-[Prof. Kim] What's his problem? -I guess it's you two, then. Who's first?

[♪ mischievous music plays]

[Yeongsu] Oh, man. No one wants to go in. They're scared.

-[Seokbae, muffled] Here! Over here! -He's got it.

-He's got it! -What? Oh.

-Right here. -[Yeongsu] Where?

-Over here. -Bring it in.

-Come on! Look. -Hey, come here.

[Seokbae spluttering]

-Just one? -Hey, here.

[Gwanseok] Careful, don't drop it.

[Yeongsu gasps] Be careful not to break it!

-Here we go. -[Yeongsu] Come on.

-Yeah! -[exclaiming]

Wow, this is it right here!

It was tough getting it out.

It was really lodged there in the mud.

-Let's take off these barnacles. -Hey, hey!

-You'll ruin it. Give it to me. -Oh? No?

-It needs to be desalinated. -Easy.

[Taesan] Hey, did you see a lot down there?

Don't even ask. Ugh! I could barely see with this current.

When the current stopped,

I was able to get it out, but I had to haul ass.

This is the only one you found?

[Seokbae] Well, thing is I felt a few more while I was down there, so we're good.

Why did you bring just one with you when you could've grabbed them all?

We don't have time for this shit! Get back in there!

Wait... I should go again?

[stammering] I can't. Not with the current this strong.

-And it's only getting stronger. -Get a rope right now! Come on, move it!

-[Seokbae] But... -Tie it around yourself.

-Don't worry, all right? -[Seokbae] What?

Get down there and get more. One piece won't cut it.

[Seokbae] No fucking way. I can't do this alone! Ah, shit!

Wait! Why are you giving me that when I said I can't do it?

Just quit your yapping

and get your ass down there already like I'm telling you to!

-No, I... -By now you could've pulled up

at least another piece! [clicks tongue] Ah, shit.

Tell me how we're supposed to get a thousand at this rate!

We can't even cover the cost of labor with this shit.

Did we drag our asses all the way out here just to get one fucking ceramic out?

Fuck.

-What are you waiting for? Get going! -[exclaims]

Come on, man. You trying to kill a guy?

I will kill you if you don't get down there!

Ugh, shit.

I said, I can't do this alone!

Ugh, fuck this, man.

-[Gwanseok clicks tongue] -[Heedong] My uncle was right.

At this rate, we probably wouldn't break even.

[♪ tense music plays]

[breathing heavily]

[Daesik] Is he gonna stay down there all night?

The sun's almost down, what's taking him so long?

Here.

No, thank you. Those things are bad for you.

[Jeonchul] Are you going to keep backing out?

You gotta go in there first, man. There's a thing called seniority.

What's that got to do with it, though? We should stick to the order.

You shit, why am I going next?

What? How the hell should I know? You should ask him, he's the boss.

Look, I'm asking you to go in first, man. I'm scared of the water.

I don't even eat seafood, you know?

[Jeonchul] You fucking asshole! I'm not asking you to catch fish.

-[muffled shouting] -[Heedong] He's up!

-[Yeongsu] He's back? -[Taesan] Where?

Dang, he got drifted all the way over there.

-[Yeongsu] Whoa, whoa, whoa. -[Gwanseok] What is it?

The current's strong, isn't it?

[Yeongsu] How'd it go?

It's like I said, I'm blind as a bat down there.

-Ugh, shit. -That means it's a bust, you guys.

-I think we should head back. -[Prof. Kim] Damn.

[Gwanseok] Ah, damn it. All that for just one lousy little... [scoffs]

Let's call it!

[dogs barking]

-Sorry to bother you. -[owner] Evening, sir.

There wouldn't happen to be an Oh Gwanseok staying here, would there?

Oh, dear. The bunch of them left for Jeungdo already.

-Jeungdo? -Yeah.

Oh.

-All right, careful getting off, guys. -[Taesan] Here we go! [grunts]

[Yeongsu] Here, be careful with it!

Take my hand.

[straining]

-It hurts. My back. -[Taesan] It's a high step.

Ugh, fuck, why the hell is this so hard? This is gonna take forever.

[Taesan] I'm sick of hearing y'all complaining.

-Tiger, gimme a cigarette, would you? -[mumbles]

-[straining] -[Gwanseok] Captain Hwang.

[Pilman] You got him.

[all breathing heavily]

Can you find more divers?

I'll see if I can.

Rice planting season's over, so there's guys who need work.

We need those ladies who dive for seafood.

Men or women, that don't matter. We just need as many as we can get.

-[Yeongsu] It's killing me. -[Pilman] He's really not looking good.

[Beolgu breathing heavily]

[coughs]

Why's he like that?

He got the bends.

What's the bends?

When you dive too deep...

I don't know, man. Just something that happens.

[Yeongsu groans] Good, good, good. Go easy when you pour, okay?

Gently. Easy, now. And get more water.

-[Seokbae] How much more? -Here.

[Yeongsu] You want it to be deep enough to fully cover it.

So this is okay? Isn't this freshwater?

Has to be freshwater.

That's how you get the salt out.

It can take a while, even up to a year.

-[Gwanseok] Up to a year? -Otherwise, it'll crumble to pieces.

It's as delicate as a newborn right now, so we have to work carefully.

We'll have to get all the barnacles off. But I gotta say, it looks great.

Fuck, imagine if there were a ton of these just waiting for us down there?

[Yeongsu chuckles]

[Taesan] Hey, try having some of this. Here. It's miyeokguk.

[strained breathing]

-[slurps, gulping] -[Taesan] Don't eat the solid bits.

Just try and drink the broth.

[gulping]

This'll get him better?

[Taesan] Beats me.

We don't got any medicine here, but he needs to eat something.

-[choking] -[Taesan] Oh, man.

Spit it out if it's too much. Yeah?

It's just... It's just...

[Gwanseok] Beolgu. What went on down there?

[wheezing] I kept trying to breathe.

-There was no air. -You couldn't get any air?

[Dohun] The hell? I was pumping so damn hard. Shit.

I was trying, but... [wheezes] ...but I couldn't breathe...

[coughs]

Then I don't know...

Could the hose have any holes or leaks?

[Taesan] That'd be bad.

If the hose has holes in it, the divers are as good as dead down there.

-Ugh, shit. [clicks tongue] -[Daesik sighs]

We have to make sure. Go get the hose.

-C'mon, let's go. -Just bring the whole thing over here.

-Okay. -[Taesan] Yup. [sighs]

[strained breathing]

[Taesan] Nice and slow, all right? Nice and slow.

[Taesan] Easy, now. Easy. Keep pumping that thing, okay?

-[Heedong] What? -[Seokbae] Let's see.

Oh! Oh, there it is. I found it! Here. Oh, man.

[Taesan] Hey, mark it there.

[Seokbae] Tie this around it.

[Prof. Kim] Man, why'd you bring a leaky-ass hose?

[Yeongsu] Don't stop pumping. We gotta find all the leaks.

[Daesik groans] My arms are gonna fall off.

-[Seokbae] Look, there's another one! -[Taesan] Oh, come on.

Son of a bitch. This coulda killed any one of us.

You fucking idiot, what're you doing bringing this shit?

I just grabbed what they used before. How would I know?

Hey! Stop that. That's enough.

Just drop it.

-[Heedong sighs] -We'll go to Mokpo and get a new one.

That's enough.

Well, anyway, we could've died if it wasn't for you.

[grunts] I've seen this before, I used to work on a boat.

You can't fix this thing.

Really? What tonnage?

Deep-sea fishing vessels. Mostly on the Indian Ocean.

Sounds tough, but you did always have the look of a sailor.

-[Jeonchul sighs] -Hey, Seokbae. You got any booze here?

I got cheongju here.

Yeah, go get it, then. Let's get fucking hammered.

Maybe you should go easy.

How are we supposed to work without it? Ain't that right?

Men of the sea bond over drinks.

-You're damn right. -[Taesan laughs]

What about food? You got anything to eat?

You saw outside. Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Hey, hey! No, we're not doing that.

Why the hell not? [clicks tongue]

Why're you even raising them if you're not gonna eat 'em?

[Seokbae] Well I-I just... Those are just, uh...

Hey! Wait! I said don't. No, wait. C'mon!

-It's quick. -No, they're not for eating. Hey!

-Don't you dare! -[Gwanseok] Let's do it.

Those are Siamese hens out there! For eggs! Hey! Get your hands off! Hey!

-I said don't eat them! -It's okay.

I'm sad about this too. I'm here with you.

[Beolgu's mom] I just think it would really help if you put in a good word.

I bet if you did then finding a job for Beolgu would be a piece of cake!

Honggi, you'll do this for your auntie.

Remember when you fell down the stairs at my house in third grade

-and cracked your head open? -[Honggi's mom chuckles]

I saw it from the kitchen, so I ran over to where you were lying

with a handful of doenjang.

Blood was everywhere, so I rubbed that stuff right on your head!

[Honggi's mom] He was bleeding like crazy that day,

and his neck was all crooked too,

and his eyes they were all rolled back.

Oh, my.

I was beside myself. My heart was pounding.

Your auntie stayed calm, though.

She came right over and smacked that paste on.

-I got nerves of steel, that's right. -[Honggi clears throat]

[chuckling]

All right, enough.

Thing is, I'm a civil servant.

If something goes wrong while I'm pulling strings,

I won't be the only one going down.

Oh, you think I would... I won't say a word!

Who would I even tell that to? I wouldn't do that.

That aside though,

let's talk about the crates at Uncle's store.

Yeah?

So, why is it that you keep moving those crates to the shed next door?

Well that's just, you see, the neighbor, he said--

You all have had some big fights though, right?

The shop owner, he's always complaining to us, you know?

Says he's gonna burn them if you leave them there.

I don't know what his problem is that he would say all that.

[Honggi] See? You should cut it out with all the tricks.

Just at least try and play fair.

Always trying to pull something in secret.

What do you mean by tricks?

[sighs deeply]

That hurts, Honggi.

How can you say something awful like that to your dear aunt, huh?

[inhales sharply]

-[stammers] All right, I heard you. Huh? -Good.

I'll give a call to the company then, okay?

But I can't promise anything.

[sighs]

[Honggi's mom] Honggi! Why would you...

There's no need for all that.

-I'm so sorry. -[Honggi sighs]

That condescending jerk.

Thinks he's some hot shot.

That little bastard.

[Taesan] Now this... This is a real feast.

[Prof. Kim] I used to make a killing off some easy marks, man.

"A JACKPOT ITEM FOR MINIMAL INVESTMENT"

Once I got five million won for a piece.

-Five million for one? -That's right.

Wait, I didn't know jackpots like that even existed.

[Seokbae] Here, guys, eat up.

Chawan, It was a chawan...

"CHAWAN: A TEA BOWL WITH A LID"

...and holy shit, it was one of a kind.

As soon as I laid eyes on it, I snatched that shit up.

I'm serious.

[Yeongsu] Who's buying a chawan for five million?

You guys should eat this.

-Are we out of drinks? -[Jeonchul] Ah, it's hot.

-Hey, Seokbae. -What is it?

You got any more booze stashed away?

-Oh, man. -[Seokbae] That's all I got.

[Taesan] Then go knock on some doors and get us some more.

Ah, man. It's all old people around here. They're not gonna have any drinks.

-[Taesan] Why not? -[Gwanseok] Come on, lay off the drinks.

We gotta go back out there and work tomorrow. [clicks tongue]

-[Taesan] Hey, we're just getting started. -Fucking drunks.

-[Jeonchul] Daesik. -[Daesik] Hmm?

You're going in first.

Don't forget, that's what you said, you swore.

Ugh, geez. I gave you my word, didn't I?

[Gwanseok] Hey, Jeonchul. Who do you think you are? You're first tomorrow.

-Ugh, come on. Relax and have some soju. -[Jeonchul] Ah, shit...

Why?

Heedong,

what are you doing with your cut?

Buy a house.

What kind of house?

Something big, with a nice little lawn and a dog.

[Jeonchul] Gwanseok, what about you?

What will you do with your cut?

[clicks tongue] That ain't none of your business.

What about you, Captain?

Gonna buy a big boat and fish for tuna in the Indian Ocean.

[Jeonchul] Come on, why put yourself through all that?

You should just sail around and take it easy.

What would you do if you hit it rich?

[chuckles]

[Dohun] What would I do? I'd use that money to buy my mom a house.

[♪ tender music plays]

She worked her butt off on a farm her whole damn life.

Still got nothing to show for it.

I want to take care of her.

Get her a house.

A nicer farm with some cows, too.

That's the dream, isn't it?

Daesik, hey, what are you doing, man?

[Daesik] I gotta piss.

-Hey, go over there. Over there. -[Daesik] Damn it.

[Heedong] Seriously, dude? What the hell are you doing?

-You're crazy. -Whatever, I gotta take a leak.

-Hey, go do it over there, dumbass! -Ah, c'mon, man. Use the damn bathroom.

-What the hell are you doing? -What?

-Ah, shit! -[clamoring]

-Are you serious? -[Taesan] Come on, man!

-Come on! -[Gwanseok] Put that thing away!

Look at you fucking small timers trying to get a quick buck.

None of you are shit.

[waves lapping]

[Jeonchul] Ugh, that son of a bitch is a fucking animal when he's drunk.

Were you always afraid of the sea?

[exhales deeply] I told you, I almost drowned a while back.

I'm only here 'cause of Chairman Cheon.

I would've left already if I could.

The truth is being out there is rough.

On a boat anyone can turn on you, just like that.

I keep my eyes wide open.

Do you have to stay, though?

You should just go.

Are you serious? Have you been listening to me at all?

Could talk to the chairman's wife.

[Jeonchul scoffs]

Fuck me.

Hey.

Nah, forget it.

[smacks lips]

-Hey. -What's up?

Y'know, the chairman's wife and I actually used to be married.

[♪ dramatic music plays]

[stammers] What?

When the ship sank, she thought I sank with it.

Figured I was dead.

Eventually she remarried.

Can't even be mad at her.

I was gone for like...

12 fucking years. Shit.

[sighs]

So why're you working for Chairman Cheon?

She says the old man is gonna die soon.

And after he croaks, it'll all be ours.

So what can I do?

Then outta nowhere...

Cheon sends me down here to work with you guys.

I've got pretty good instincts for this shit.

Something shady's going on here.

Heedong,

I don't wanna die out here. Help me make it out.

If you do, I'll get you that house you wanted with the backyard.

I give you my word.

[tapping cigarette]

Come on, let's get another drink.

Okay, sir. You're good to go.

Thank you.

Hello.

[soldier] Good evening, ma'am. What can I do for ya?

Well, my friend, she works here. And we are her guests, okay?

Who invited you?

Hmm? Our friend.

I think he's asking for her name, though.

Oh. Seonyeong.

Seonyeong.

I said that she works here.

She's the auctioneer!

-Can I get your ID? -Hmm?

-Just give it to him already. -Ah. [chuckles]

[Jin] Who does he think he is, asking for ID.

Yours too, Jungsook.

Mine too?

-Me? -[soldier] Yes, both of you.

-Okay. -Yeah.

[Jungsook] How do you know about this place anyway?

[Jin] One of my regulars works here. Her husband's an American soldier.

[Jungsook] I see.

[people chattering]

[people chattering]

[Jin] Oh.

Seonyeong.

Sorry. So glad you could make it tonight.

[gasps] Seonyeong, you look beautiful!

I got this dress at your store the other day.

[Jin] I know. It was made for you.

You look fantastic. [chuckles]

Oh, this here is the Heungbaek chairman's wife.

It's so great to meet you.

You too. So this venue, what is it exactly?

[Seonyeong] A US Army assembly hall.

And sometimes they'll hold these auctions here.

Many Americans are interested in pottery as well.

-[Jin] I see. -Wow, I didn't know!

[Jungsook] Here.

[gasps] Seonyeong, here you go.

[gasps] The Sinan one?

It was in the sea. Not easy to find.

-[chuckles] This way, please. -All right.

I'll start the appraisal process. You can go on ahead.

-Okay. -Thanks, Seonyeong.

-Sure, I'll see you in there. -Sounds good.

[appraiser] Hi, come on in.

[Seonyeong] This is from Sinan. Please take a close look at it.

-[appraiser] I'll have a look in a moment. -Okay.

-Shall we head in? -[Jungsook] Uh-huh. [chuckles]

[both gasp]

[Jin] Wow.

[Jungsook] Oh, my...

[Jin gasps] Jungsook. Look at that.

-[Jungsook gasps] -[both] Ooh.

This is a big deal, isn't it?

-Yeah, I know. -Ms. Yang, is that you?

Well, if it isn't Mr. Kim.

[laughs] I didn't expect to see you.

[chuckles] You can say that again.

I had no idea you were interested in this sort of thing.

[grunts] No. Not at all. [chuckles]

I just came by to say hi to the commander here,

and I figured, I might as well take a look-see.

I see. [chuckles]

This is my close friend. I should introduce you two.

-Hello there. -[Myeonggu] Yeah, hello.

Well, all right, then. Enjoy yourselves, ladies. [chuckles]

[Jungsook] Thanks.

Who was that?

That was Assemblyman Kim Myeonggu, my husband's backer.

Oh.

-Where do you wanna sit? -[Jin] Well, how about over there?

-[Jungsook] Sure. -[Jin] Okay, go ahead.

-[Seonyeong] 5,200. -[♪ mysterious music plays]

Is anyone going for 5,300?

Do I have 5,300 dollars?

Is no one going to bid higher?

No one?

Number nine. 5,200.

That's the highest bid. Then we're going once. We're going twice.

Okay, sold.

5,200.

-Sold for 5,200 dollars. -Do you know how much that is in won?

One dollar comes to 480...

[gasps]

That's 2.5 million?

Wait, really? That hunk of junk?

Who would have thought?

[murmuring]

That's the one I'm looking forward to.

Now, the next item is Chinese pottery.

Chinese pottery.

This pottery's from the 14th century Yuan Dynasty in China.

It was found off the coast of Sinan.

As you can see, there's very little wear and no damage.

It's in great condition. The color and shape are well preserved.

This piece is a rare and excellent representation

of the pottery of its time.

So then, let's start the bidding at 3,000 dollars, shall we?

-Do I have anyone with 3,000? -3,000? 1.5 million...

It seems this item is very popular.

All right, how about we raise the bid on it, then?

3,200? 3,200.

Who's next? 3,500.

Do I have 3,500?

3,500.

Wow. All right, then. Anyone bidding 4,000?

4,000. 4,000 dollars.

Anyone? For 4,000?

Okay, let's go to 4,200.

Do I have 4,200?

4,200 do... Okay, we have 4,200 dollars.

-Is anyone going for 4,500? -[Jin gasps]

Do I have 4,500 dollars? 4,500.

[Jungsook] You're still up.

Now where have you been all day?

[chuckles] I had a meeting with the girls.

[lowers volume]

Why did your meeting run so late into the night?

[chuckles]

We lose track of time catching up with each other, silly.

But what are you doing out of bed so late like this?

-Thought you weren't feeling good. -How's the pottery search going? Any luck?

They found one in fact.

It's in great condition for having been underwater.

Well, where is it? Why didn't you bring it with you?

[Jungsook] They said something about how they have to desalinate it?

All that aside, it looks like it'll bring in a lot of money.

[clears throat] I guess that depends on if the Americans like it.

[chuckles]

[Jungsook] I'm sure they're going to love it.

I'm pretty sure.

Hey, guys! Get up. Hurry! It's late already, let's go.

-[Gwanseok] Oh, shit. -My head's killing me. This fucking sucks.

[Gwanseok] Hey, hey, rise and shine.

Told you to go easy on the booze.

-[groans] -Daesik, get up.

[grunts] My foot. It hurts.

Let's see it.

-[Daesik groaning] -[♪ intriguing music plays]

Do you have gout?

[Taesan] Yeesh, he can't even walk, let alone dive.

[Gwanseok groans] Shit, we're already short handed as it is.

-[Jeonchul] Daesik. You okay? -[groans]

You're supposed to dive today.

[Daesik] Fuck. Don't touch me.

Jeonchul.

-Looks like you're diving in first today. -[sighs]

You know we're all taking turns going in the water,

so don't try to weasel out of it. Got it? [clicks tongue]

[Taesan] Ow, what the...

Get ready.

Hwang and I are gonna go to Mokpo and get a new hose.

-Take good care of Daesik. -[Daesik breathes heavily]

-[Gwanseok] Geez. Fucking idiot. -[Daesik groans]

I can't do it, okay?

When I even think about diving, I feel like I'm suffocating.

[Gwanseok scoffs] Hey, you worked on a ship before.

At least you've got some experience.

Do you really have to throw in some hopeless rookie first?

That's so fucking pathetic.

-Hurry up. -[Taesan] Yeah.

[Daesik groaning]

[Daesik sobs]

[groans, cries]

[sighs]

[wind howling]

[Taesan] The big bad sailor's wettin' his pants in there.

Damn, that wind. I don't know if we can make it to Mokpo.

What do you mean? They won't sail out?

[Taesan] Nah, not like this. The boat'll capsize.

[groans] Every day we waste is money down the drain.

We can still check it out.

[strains]

[Gitaek] Thanks.

Hey, Gwanseok!

-Man, I'm glad I caught up with ya. -[Gwanseok] What are you doing here?

What am I doing here? Listen, I need to talk to you.

I'm heading out. Can it wait?

I just need a minute with you. It's not like you're leaving this second.

Hey. I'll hold the boat, you guys talk it out.

-All right, I'll see you there. -[Taesan] Okay.

[Gwanseok groans] What is it?

Listen.

Are you with me or are you with Mrs. Yang? Just give it to me straight.

Where the hell is all of this coming from?

You know what that woman said?

After her little trip down here,

she said that everything from Sinan is hers now.

Gwanseok, talk to me. I'm about to lose my mind here.

Where do you stand on this?

Oh, for fuck's sake.

[♪ intriguing music plays]

Hey. Did that woman win you over?

Tell me somethin'. You rich?

What are you asking?

Do you have enough money to cut her out of this? That's what I'm asking.

Look here, okay? Putting money over people is just bad business!

And to cut me out? It's not right!

See, with her, all of this is gonna be simple.

She's just gonna buy everything. Anything at all, no exceptions.

That's exactly what I promised you.

I mean, things got really messy there for a second. All these guys got involved.

And then she just came in and cleaned everything up.

That's real nice. While she cuts me out of the whole deal?

[groans] You're missing the point entirely.

You can still get paid if you stop and listen for a second.

Then enlighten me on just how exactly.

[stammers] You know the fake ones you got?

You can give them to us and we can sell them to her.

That way you can get rid of all of the replicas, right?

So bring 'em all over! I'll mix 'em up so she can't tell!

And then I'll get a great price for ya.

Are we good now?

Wait. Are you gonna keep your word?

Look at me. Look me in the eyes. Am I lying?

You mean it, right?

I'm on your side, Song.

All right, then.

-I can't believe you don't trust me. -[Gitaek] I got it, okay, okay.

Gwanseok, thank you. I really appreciate this.

Oh, right. Before I forget.

[sighs]

What's this now?

It's five million. It's from Chairman Cheon.

It's for Jeonchul, not the pottery deal.

[♪ ominous music plays]

If you can't do it, I'll return the cash to Cheon.

Let me know what you wanna do.

Come on, take it.

[Yeongsu] His foot is a damn mess, that's for sure.

Who knew he had gout?

[both sigh]

That's why I told him to lay off the drinking.

[Gitaek sighs]

This is no good. Mokpo's got a doctor or a clinic, right?

-Yeah. -Listen.

He's not doing too hot either. Let's take him too.

[Gitaek] Did he get hurt?

How did he get like that?

He went into the water with a busted hose.

[groaning]

[sighs]

[Gitaek] Can I talk to you outside for a minute?

[door opens]

[breathes shakily]

[groaning]

[Gitaek sighs]

Come here.

What are you thinking of doing?

What?

His face is all gray. He might not make it.

And if he dies out here, then things will get worse.

[sighs] And Mokpo's out of the question now.

[clicks tongue] There's no way to help him, is there?

[Gitaek sighs]

[Heedong sighs]

You could just dump him out in the sea.

[♪ ominous music plays]

[stammers] In the sea?

[Gitaek] People die, that's just how life goes.

But if he dies here and they find out about it, we'll all take the fall for it.

Just think about it.

Hey. How did you end up with this many people?

Don't even ask.

Things got all messed up and shit. Now everything's goin' wrong.

[Gitaek] Ah, geez.

Good grief.

[Taesan] You better be measurin' it right.

Don't screw around, 'cause I'm gonna be checkin' your work.

[owner scoffs] Right, and you'll pay me pennies too.

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

What's the matter?

[Gwanseok sighs]

[clicks tongue, sucks teeth]

Listen...

When you're out fishing... sometimes there's accidents, right?

Yeah, things happen.

How do you normally handle it?

What, do you... call the police and report it?

Of course, you gotta.

[Gwanseok sighs]

We can cover it up if it's iffy, though.

What, cover it up? You can do that?

Uh, guess that depends on the situation.

So what is the situation?

Well, let's say one of us gets in some kind of accident out there.

Think you could cover that up?

[Taesan] I get it. Somethin's up again.

You gotta give me details if you want my help.

-Okay? Okay. -[shushes]

[sucks teeth]

Just between us.

No shit.

If you're worried I'm gonna talk, just forget it.

The truth is, there's another reason I'm here.

A job I gotta do.

There's a mark I gotta take out.

Who is it?

Jeonchul.

[♪ ominous music plays]

[Taesan] Hmm.

They told you to kill Jeonchul?

[Gwanseok] Yeah. [sighs]

Ain't that some shit... That don't feel right.

I mean, the two of us drank soju together and everything.

Listen, I didn't come here to make friends, you know that.

We gotta do what we're paid to do.

It ain't so simple, takin' someone out like that though.

I know.

If you're gonna do it...

I would think the best shot would be while he's diving.

Okay. How?

Well, the hose could get tangled or somethin'.

How much do I get?

[Gwanseok clicks tongue, sucks teeth]

If it's done clean, then...

A million, straight.

[blows]

[exhales sharply] And you better pay it straight.

This is about someone's life.

Of course.

If you go runnin' your mouth, I'll feed you to the fish.

Got it.

[Taesan] Hmm.

Mmm.

[sucks teeth] Mmm.

[taps cigarette]

[sighs]

[Yeongsu] The waves have calmed down. We can head out.

[Seokbae] Mmm.

[Seokbae] All right, we need to set the diving order.

Gather around.

[diver 1] Ugh, come on. What we gotta go do that for?

We're all getting in the water anyway.

[Seokbae] I want y'all to listen up.

The one with the hose will be sweeping the floor,

and the one with the tank will dig up what the first guy found

and bring it up to the middle, to where a second guy with an air tank is waiting.

And that guy will shuttle the pottery back to the boat. Got it?

[diver 2 yawns] Going back and forth like that is too exhausting.

I'll stay at the top 'cause my back hurts.

[diver 3] Wait a second. You know my knees are fucked. I can't kick very well.

I should be up top.

Damn, what a load of bullshit.

Listen up, assholes. This is how the old saying goes.

There's an order and hierarchy you follow when it comes to age.

Who the hell you think you are trying to call all the shots round here?

I should be at the top.

[Seokbae] Quit yapping and listen. Just do what I tell you to do.

[Taesan] Seokbae!

-[Seokbae] Hey. -Are you ready to go?

[Seokbae] Yeah, we're ready.

-You got the hose? -[Taesan] It's on the boat.

[Gwanseok] All right, everyone, let's go! We're heading out!

-Jeonchul, get ready. -[diver 1] Come on. Let's grab the gear.

-[Gwanseok] Everyone, let's get going. -[diver 1 grunting]

-[Gwanseok] Hello, how you doing? Good? -[Seokbae grunts]

[♪ exciting music plays]

[Bokgeun] We're here!

-[Yeongsu] All right! -[Seokbae] Okay!

[Gwanseok] All right, all right! Everyone, get ready to go!

"YONGJIN"

[Seokbae] Let's do this quick. Guys, get your tanks on.

-[Taesan] Yeah, hurry, hurry. -[Seokbae] Get ready to dive.

The current's sure looking great today!

[Yeongsu] You're right! The water's nice and calm, huh?

But you still gotta be careful!

Jeonchul.

Get ready to dive.

[Heedong] I'll do it.

-[Gwanseok] No, Jeonchul's going first. -I said I wanna go.

-For fuck's sake. -[diver 1] Hey, forget it.

You think anyone can dive?

It just looks easy 'cause we're doing it.

You should just pay me a little extra. I'll get 'er done. [chuckles]

-[Jeonchul] I appreciate this. -[diver 1] Yeah, yeah.

-[diver 1 grunts] -Then you two get on the damn pump.

[Jeonchul] Let's move it over there.

One, two, three, lift.

[diver 1] Hey. Hey, over here.

-Bring that over here. Grab that end. -[Gwanseok] Go help them.

[Taesan] Be careful not to get the air hose tangled, okay?

Don't let it get tangled.

Beolgu...

He's gonna die, isn't he?

[Taesan] Yeah, well, there's bubbles in his lungs, so he's basically a goner.

[Gwanseok] So...

think you can handle it?

[♪ suspenseful music plays]

[Taesan] Hold on.

That's a whole 'nother issue.

We're in deep shit if he dies on us. We gotta take care of this now.

-[tongue clicks] -[Taesan sighs]

Damn, you're right.

So how, then?

I guess...

I know a spot we can dump his body at, where no one will find him for a while.

[Gwanseok sighs]

No one will report it, right?

[scoffs]

He's a lost cause even to his family.

They'll throw a party when he's gone.

The whole neighborhood will show up. Shit.

Daesik. Wake up now.

[groaning]

Rise and shine.

If you sleep all day, it'll mess up your schedule.

My foot hurts so bad. What did...

[♪ gentle music plays]

[Gitaek sighs]

All right, rest.

Getting some good sleep should help with the gout.

Keep your eyes closed. Just rest.

[Daesik] My foot... My foot feels...

[Gitaek] I know. It must hurt so much.

You poor thing.

Get some rest, sleep it off.

[groaning]

[Seokbae] I hope we find more of 'em today.

Oh, geez.

Give it a good sweep, all right?

[rebreather hisses]

Let's get up there, then! Here we go!

Ready?

-All right. -One, two, three! Go!

[♪ tense music plays]

[Seokbae] Huh?

[exclaims]

Oh, oh! We've got a bite!

-[Yeongsu] Pull it up! -[Gwanseok] Yeah!

-Keep going. -Slow down! You need to slow down!

-[Gwanseok shouts] Yeah! -[Bokgeun] Easy, there! Easy!

[♪ upbeat music plays]

[Prof. Kim] It's coming up, it's coming up!

-All right, I got it. -We got it! Hell yeah!

-Easy there. Easy. -Hey! Drop the cigarette and help out!

I've been working my ass off, so I deserve a break.

[Taesan] To hit the jackpot, we all gotta hustle here!

Come on, put your backs into it!

-Attagirl! -[Gwanseok] Be careful not to break it!

[Gwanseok] Careful! Careful!

Hot damn, look at that! What a beauty. We hit it big.

-Careful! -[cheering]

-[Taesan] Now we're getting somewhere. -[Yeongsu] Wow!

Would you look at that? That's the jackpot!

-Put it over there. -[Taesan] Guys, keep pumping, all right?

[clamoring]

EMERGENCY ROOM YULSEONG HOSPITAL

INJECTION ROOM

-[doctor] We're all done here. -[sighs] How is he?

His blood pressure has been all over the place since last week.

Is he still taking his medication?

Yes, of course. He doesn't miss a day.

[inhales deeply, sighs]

His blood pressure is dangerously high. Over 200.

[sighs] It might be because he's got so much on his plate.

[doctor] His heart doesn't sound too good either.

You know he has a heart condition.

[inhales deeply] Do you know of any good hospitals overseas?

[doctor] He could go into cardiac arrest if he travels abroad.

Flying is out of the question.

Overseas? That's ridiculous.

I'll be careful and watch what I eat.

[chuckles] Thanks for taking a look, Doctor.

-Not at all, Chairman. You take care. -[chuckles]

You should go on ahead. I have a few questions I want to ask the doctor.

Mmm, okay.

-You're headed to the office, right? -Oh, of course.

[doctor] And, sir, please come by more often.

[Hwangsik] All right, have a good day. Thank you. [chuckles]

"DR. KIM BYEONGSEOK"

Hi.

-So then... -[Byeongseok sighs]

Could we go over it in more detail?

How bad is it? Is there any hope for recovery?

[Byeongseok sighs] Given his age, recovery will be slow.

So he'll need to take it easy with work.

And no more drinking.

[sighs] That's unfortunate. He loves his drink, that man.

I absolutely forbid it. It could be fatal.

You can't let him drink.

[♪ ominous music plays]

It's been so long. [chuckles]

I regret that we didn't have dinner after you came back from your trip.

Yes, that's why I'm planning another dinner.

I was thinking my house, with the chairman, we could eat together.

[chuckles] Yes.

The ten executives that got promoted recently,

you should invite all of them.

Yes.

Ah, what's your favorite liquor?

[♪ suspenseful music plays]

[chuckles] Of course.

I mean, you just traveled abroad.

Right. I'll have plenty of whiskey there.

[chuckles] It's no trouble, no.

Don't worry about it all.

Yes, sure. [chuckles]

All right, I'll talk to you soon, Director.

You're all hardworking big shots. You deserve to unwind a little.

[Seokbae] Oh, I'm spent! I can't do another one, I'm done.

And look, it's gonna get dark real soon.

We hauled up a lot.

Okay, we're done. Let's go!

-Got all the pots there? -Yeah, let's stop here.

Let's go! I've had enough of the sea.

Yeah, I'm ready to get outta here.

Bokgeun, raise anchor.

-[Bokgeun groans] -Start the boat!

-All right. Good work, everyone! -[Bokgeun] Let's go!

[Seokbae] You guys did great.

[Heedong] For the first time we actually got some real work done.

[diver] Good work, everyone.

In the end this wasn't a job we could do with a small crew.

I didn't get it before. But I do now.

GOOD LUCK COFFEE SHOP

GOOD LUCK COFFEE SHOP

[♪ soft music plays]

Of course, I promise.

Put a stamp on it.

How's this?

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Are you lying on the floor because you got your heart broken?

-Jongmal. -[Jongmal] Yeah?

What do you think Ms. Jang's doing all the way in Gwangju?

It's a memorial thing at a relative's house.

Then she probably won't come back today.

Probably not. I don't think she has a ride.

-Jongmal. -[Jongmal grunts] Yeah?

I actually have to go somewhere, okay? Cover for me, would you?

What?

[Jongmal] Wait, you're skipping out again?

Come on. Hey!

GOOD LUCK COFFEE SHOP

-[Jongmal] Hey, come back soon, all right? -[Seonja] Okay.

[Jongmal] In one ear and out the other.

Ugh, whatever. I don't care.

Any boats heading to Jeungdo?

[person 2] Jeungdo, huh? I'm not sure.

"FIRE STRIKES WITHOUT WARNING, LET'S ALL STAY ALERT"

Excuse me, sir. Are there any boats heading to Jeungdo?

[person 3] Jeungdo? You missed the last one.

[Sangbok] Hey.

-You're going to Jeungdo? -Yeah.

I'll give you a ride. I was actually heading that way myself.

Are you sure?

Oh, geez, thank you.

[Sangbok] Watch your step when you get on.

-Okay. -Okay, go ahead.

I got it, so go ahead and hop on. Keep going.

[♪ gentle music plays]

Hey, you're the waitress at Good Luck Coffee, right?

So then, what brings you to Jeungdo?

Heading out there to see someone I know.

Right, so who is it?

What, you think Jeungdo's some dinky little island?

Who you meeting and where you going?

Can you hurry up and take me to where the folks from Seoul are at?

Which folks are those?

The ones that came from Seoul and Busan, don't you know?

Ah, that's those looters you mean, right? What are you seeing them for?

Ugh, wh-what's with the 20 questions?

Can't you just take me there quietly?

[Sangbok] What? I'm burning my own gas and giving you a free ride.

I can't even ask some questions?

Hey, can I take you on a date?

[boat engine grumbles]

You wanna get murdered?

[engine powers down]

[Sangbok] Sure. I'd be happy to die in your arms, sweetheart.

[♪ ominous music plays]

Now come here.

What are you doing? Get over here.

Hey, if you don't listen to me, I'll kill you.

I said, come here!

Attagirl. Nice and slow.

If you're not careful, you'll crack your head.

Hey, don't be scared now. I'm good at it.

Here, right here. Let's do this quickly and go.

Come on. Hurry.

I said, hurry up.

What?

Wha... What the hell are you doing?

I'll just swim over there.

Listen, you crazy bitch, where do you think you are right now?

We're in the middle of the ocean.

What?

[Seonja breathes heavily]

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey!

Hey! Are you out of your mind? You trying to get yourself killed?

Grab my hand! Grab it!

-Come on, grab my hand now! -[screaming]

You nutjob! Just... Just get back on the boat!

Fine, I promise I won't do anything, so just get on! For Pete's sake!

Damn it!

-[Sangbok groans] -[Seonja gasping]

You'll get swept away and die out there!

-[groans] -[Seonja coughs]

Oh, man. [panting]

Look, you're a total nutjob, you know that?

-[coughs, panting] -You know, I heard crazy things about you.

Let's just calm down and I'll take you there.

-[panting, coughs] -Damn, you scared the shit out of me.
