Original subtitles

In May 1980, Gwangju, Korea, innocent civilians protesting for democracy were massacred by fellow Korean soldiers.

With 4,112 killed or wounded, it was the most casualties since the Korean War.

With that crime as a foothold, the head of the military became South Korea's 11th President.

This is a work of fiction referencing the above facts.

The striking range is 100 meters?

No.

I told you, it's impossible with an air rifle.

You didn't believe me.

And you insisted I make it.

It's too late now.

The money's all paid.

This is a modified industrial compressor.

If you compress the air, it's possible.

It's a bit slow, five seconds per compression.

Too little compression, it'll be weak.

Too much, it explodes.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Damn it!

Not "Jin" for jewel.

What did you say?

"Jin", to advance?

Yes, that one!

A sweet name with a strong meaning.

With that name, she'll advance bravely as we intended.

Seon Hwal!

Seon Hwal! Seon Hwal!

Oh no, what is this?

Seon Hwal!

Seon Hwal!

Seon Hwal!

What happened?

Seon Hwal!

Where are we going now?

No idea.

Hurry up! Move!

Come on, Gap Se, let's go.

- Oh, soldiers! - What?

Wow!

Fire!

Jeong Hyuk, run!

Quick! Hurry!

Run! Shoot everyone!

Hurry up!

Hurry, Big Sis!

Big Sis!

Are you okay?

Big Sis!

Jeong Hyuk.

Go ahead.

No!

Die, you bastards! Die! Die!

Damn commies! Die!

Quick.

Run...

I'll... catch up with you soon...

Look, that thing is still moving!

- Let's go, kid! - Don't miss anyone!

You red bastard!

Where are they?

Big Sis!

There they go! Go get them!

Big Sis!

Big Sis!

(script)

Wha... did I... do...

Why... are you doing this... to me...

Aren't you ashamed... as... soldiers...

Listen, everyone!

The Provincial Office has been requisitioned.

I repeat. The Provincial Office has been requisitioned!

The military is in control.

Everybody, gather at the central plaza!

Damn commies!

Commies!

Commies!

You commie!

- Hey, Sang Ryol! - Goddamn Reds!

Ma Sang Ryol!

What?

What are you doing?

No!

Where is he?

- Mom. - Where are you...

Honey?

Oh no... How could this be...

My dear!

Mom!

My darling!

Mom.

Don't cry.

How can the two of us live without you?

Curse you!

You evil bastards!

I express my thanks to the National Council for unification

and the Korean people

for electing me as the president.

You said the same thing the other day!

Oh, dear!

I am sorry, truly sorry.

Hey, you! [1983]

You're sick, right? Sick people should rest!

I think it's in the law, too.

Sorry... I am sorry, really sorry.

I'm generous, so I'll take your salary

as compensation for the damage caused.

You don't have to come to work again.

But... Madam...

- I am sorry. - Mr. President visited Chong Jin Dong Market

- Stop saying sorry. - To encourage the merchants.

One or two times, I'll close an eye...

But how many times has it been?

Casually dressed in a jumper,

he looks around the alleys.

- Hey! - He explained...

- Look, where is her son? - Something about sanitation.

The boy named Jin Bae!

Mom!

- Mom! - Mr. President told the merchants

his commitment to economic development.

As I dust myself off and leave,

what desires could I have? [1988]

- Dad, Seoul is much better than Gwangju, right? - The only wish I would hold

- That's why we're moving, right? - Is that you remember me...

In Seoul, let's ride a cruise ship!

History will remember him as a president who did his utmost and dutiful best.

You sons of bitches!

The television!

?nbsp;

The television!

Here.

[1997]

Take care.

You'll have another chance next spring.

What's wrong with your dad?

After being jailed for the December 12 and May 18 incidents and slush funds,

the two former presidents were granted a special pardon today.

Apologizing for having caused anxiety...

Do they call that news? Unbelievable.

Chun expressed his concern about the declining economy.

- Mr. Manager. - Yeah?

Isn't it like the last scene of a gangster movie?

Former president Chun, looking thinner but healthy and composed...

It really is!

But still, he wasn't that bad.

He revived the economy and got the Olympics. Don't you think?

Hey, mister!

Give me a cigarette.

?nbsp;

?nbsp;

Oh, it's cold!

Hey, mister!

- A light? - The ex-president served 750 days at Anyang Prison.

His death sentence was commuted...

This way.

- Get out of here! You sons of bitches! - To life imprisonment by the Supreme Court.

The former president apologized to the people...

The bus bound for Seoul is now leaving! All aboard!

This bus is leaving for Seoul!

[No special pardons!]

Some citizens protested the amnesty granted despite the lack of genuine repentance.

They also demanded the government collect 400 billion won...

National unity?

Damn it!

Take your dad away!

Do whatever you want, goddamn bastards!

Kill them all! Shoot and kill them all!

I gave up field training again.

- Sons of bitches. - Because of you.

Why don't you just die?

Go on home!

I'm happy today, so I won't charge for drinks.

How come?

Today, my son is discharged from the army.

- So, go on home! - Oh, really?

Hurry up!

Goodnight.

Need to clean up quickly.

Is he coming or not?

[Ex-president arrives at residence with warm welcome from neighbors]

[Ex-president arrives at residence with warm welcome from neighbors]

Kill him...

There, there...

You didn't change at all.

You're still the same.

You didn't change a single bit. Still the same.

You do it! [2003]

- Damn it! - What!

What a psycho!

Come on!

(script)

Son of a bitch!

Dude, do you want to die today?

Goddamn it!

- This is crazy! - Ow... My marriage assets!

Let's be reasonable.

Merchants like us shouldn't fight each other.

What? Like us?

You drive me crazy. Fucking gangsters.

Why do you keep fighting? It's no big deal.

Just push it and go somewhere else!

You're preaching to me? I'm not crazy.

Why should I move?

My mom's been here for ten years, asshole!

Are your ears blocked?

Listen while I'm still being nice!

Eat your heart out, bastard! Stab my belly or back!

You motherfucker, who are you calling a gangster?

You bastards!

The eels must be burnt!

Damn it, I'll kill all of you!

The Su Ho Gang?

Gwangju was a kind of armed rebellion.

The martial law forces were forced to suppress it.

Welcome...

I heard you are quite stubborn.

Shit!

Wow!

Life is hard enough sweating buckets.

Why can't Gwangju folks just get along?

I just came to taste your noodles.

Noodle soup

Oh, magnificent soup!

This thing called power, it needs balance.

Stubbornness alone won't get you by.

Don't stare at me like that.

At least, I'm not a bully.

Come visit my place sometime. I'll treat you to a drink.

13, 14, 15...

Former President Chun stood before the court again after six years.

The judge demanded he disclose his financial assets,

and Chun claimed to have only 291,000 won.

Why don't you check my bank account?

There's only 291,000 won left!

Damn bastard!

You son of a bitch!

Fuck, it's hot.

[Night Club]

Hey, Kwon Jeong Hyuk. Relax.

Take this.

Keep watch and click it when they're here. Got it?

- Yes. - Easy, right?

But, still... Mobilizing a police battalion just for his badminton game?

Poor thing!

What?

At first, it just...

feels like being raped.

I don't understand.

- You will soon. - He is entering Seodaemun.

- He is approaching. - Change the signal.

[2005]

Here he comes.

Change the signal.

(text)

[Provincial Police Station Notebook] [Chief of Police]

Jeong Hyuk, you must be hungry.

Go ahead and eat.

Big Sis.

Even though I'm a cop, there's nothing I can do.

Living on without complaints...

is just too dirty and shameful.

Sorry, Big Sis.

I am... really sorry...

Big Sis...

Big Sis...

Hey, what's going on?

- You're going on support duty? - Yes, sir. I'm in a hurry.

Hey, Jo Eun Bin!

Why are you going?

Today's Kwon Jeong Hyuk's turn.

Is he sick?

I doubt Jeong Hyuk is right for it.

What do you mean?

He never mentioned it, but he lost a sister in Gwangju.

That could happen.

Go on.

Hey, mister. Go away. Don't loiter here.

Hey, kid. Don't work at a place like this.

Go back home!

- You go back home. - It's not safe here. Go home!

You're in more danger. Hurry up and leave.

This bastard won't listen...

If you start drinking here, you'll get arrested!

Mister, what is that? Hey, you!

What is it? Mister!

Son of a bitch!

Why are you doing this?

Quick! Quick! Put it out!

Come out here!

Gwangju is still suffering!

Hurts so much we could die! Come out! Apologize!

- What's that? Get him! - Get out here, asshole!

Get out here, asshole!

Seon Hwal!

What's up? What happened?

Seon Hwal!

Seon Hwal!

Fire extinguisher!

Get the fire extinguisher!

Put it out quickly!

- Cover him with something. - Hey, back to your positions!

Clear up! Quick!

Get things in order! Call the police station!

Mi Jin...

What is your name?

It's Mi Jin! Mi Jin!

Means you should advance bravely.

You know who gave you that name?

Your mom... Your mom did.

After your mom died...

I wanted to live well here in Seoul.

Live well with you again.

I mean it.

Dad...

[2006]

[26 years from that day]

Bang.

Many forget he was a felon sentenced to death and took power in a coup.

He also never paid his 220-billion-won fee, claiming to have only 290,000 won.

Many of you must've forgotten about this.

Now, he is still a figure of authority, enjoying a luxurious life.

Thank you, thank you.

Have all of you eaten?

Big Bro, someone is waiting for you inside.

- Who? - I don't know.

We're no longer in business.

I know that.

We met somewhere.

You remember.

We met at your father's funeral.

You're not from here, I can tell.

What would a gentleman like you want from me?

Must be something difficult if you can't talk about it.

What? You want someone dead?

Wow, it must be true.

Whatever it is...

just resolve things and live.

Right?

Okay? That's it.

Have a good day.

You know this person, too.

Hey.

Thank you for traveling all the way here.

I am Kim Gap Se.

I appreciate your time.

I am Kim Ju Han, whom you've already met.

I am Chairman Kim Gap Se's secretary.

This is Mr. Kwon Jeong Hyuk.

A policeman currently in service.

Ms. Shim Mi Jin of the national shooting team.

- And this is... - Kwak Jin Bae, a thug from Gwangju.

It seems our group ain't got much in common.

All of you are family members of Gwangju victims.

You may have lived as strangers,

I thought you could unite for this matter.

Hold on.

These kids aren't much, but I haven't heard anything about you.

Why would a man like you want to do this?

I will answer on behalf of Mr. Chairman.

I didn't ask you.

What? Any victims in your family?

- No. - Then?

I was a soldier in the martial law forces.

You are killing me.

Then I have to make sure.

Let me check one thing.

Did you kill anyone in Gwangju?

First of all,

let me apologize as a soldier who took part in the Gwangju operation.

I am sorry.

Back in May 1980, I was...

Stop it!

Don't let your curiosity interfere with necessary information.

I'm not interested in anyone here.

I don't care if he was a soldier or if he massacred people in Gwangju.

If his goal is the same as mine, that's enough.

Wow! This girl is terrifyingly smart!

I'll do it.

Are you really going to kill him?

I want an apology from him.

I will force him to beg for forgiveness in all sincerity.

After that, everything depends on his attitude.

I'll do it, too.

Holy crap.

Soon, we'll be taking blood oaths.

It's been such a long time. I'm not sure it'll taste the same, boss.

This isn't my place, so I couldn't find the kimchi.

This is good enough. I don't expect a banquet.

Seriously, let me thank you.

I've never said it until now.

But...

I'm sorry.

There's something I need to do.

Please let me leave.

Something to do?

What is it?

I'm sorry.

I can't tell you.

Did you forget?

I'm a gangster.

You are my family.

I need to know.

I'm going to Seoul...

to buy cigarettes.

Rude moron.

As is well-known, armed guards and police are mobilized when he's out.

Oh! A familiar face!

At times, a private security team is also in place.

So, we can't accurately judge the size of the guards.

[Location where Shim Mi Jin's father burnt himself to death]

Houses nearby are either empty or occupied by guards.

There may be other buildings used by guards.

If we include all the buildings under suspicion,

it covers this area.

In short, entering his house or encountering him outside is impossible.

By the way, this place here is built in the same configuration as his residence.

(Plan A, Plan B )

Hello!

- What? Go away! - Look here! Click!

Hey, mister!

- Click! - What are you doing now?

First, we must shake the matrix of guards.

The access road is guarded by conscripted policemen,

plain-clothed officers, and private guards.

Every vehicle and passer-by gets inspected.

Without prior permission, no one can even approach.

In fact, several groups of college students tried entering as "arrest teams" and failed several times.

Every time such an attempt was made,

the guards were strengthened by adding more police.

A frontal assault is impossible.

We need a very detailed and carefully formulated plan.

See you later.

If we simply rush in, we won't advance even a meter.

Hey, I'm off.

Hey, what's that? Stop! Stop!

?nbsp;

Mister, go away.

Don't exercise here.

Ready! Go!

Damn! Stop! Stop!

Hey!

Once more!

Damn it!

Who is that son of a bitch?

290,000 won! 290,000 won!

Come out! You son of a bitch!

Cover his mouth!

Shut him up!

It's ill-mannered to shout in a residential area.

Shut up, damn it!

What are you doing?

Who are you? The chief?

I don't need you. Is your boss in there?

He'll meet his death today. Does that motherfucker know?

- Did he come barehanded? - Yes, Chief Ma.

Set him free.

Am I barehanded? Damn right!

Why are you doing this?

If I say my father died in Gwangju 26 years ago, will that be a hint?

This place is not as easy as you think.

That's what I see!

Wow, this guy is really smart!

Today, let's finish with this.

Go and tell him clearly.

I'll surely come back and kill him.

Tell him to wait for me and not die...

You bastard!

Dump him somewhere.

What?

Why not hand him to the police?

Dispose of him.

And this is the official schedule we've confirmed.

Kim Ju Han? It's Jin Bae.

I cleaned up the alley a little.

When I woke up from my nap...

What do you see around you?

- Here? - Yes.

Something sharp is over there...

Hey, come quickly! It's hot!

Damn it. My mouth is too messed up to taste the cigarette.

Why didn't you wear a disguise?

Disguise? Man, I ain't a kid.

I hope they react as we expect.

Don't worry. I've done what's necessary.

I heard the chairman is your old man?

Yes.

What a splendid family!

Nice putt.

The incident from the other day concerns me.

In times like this, we need to strengthen the guards.

Do as you think best.

Considering public opinion, rather than deploy more policemen,

I'll seek help from the outside.

Do as you wish.

It's warm now. Shall we go out to the field?

By all means, sir.

Well, sir...

Oh, public opinion?

Public opinion...

What?

Why did you release that gangster?

You're strange, making things complicated.

Soon, it'll be May.

We need to be careful about the press.

Why worry about the press? I'm in charge of that.

The selection of external help as guards is also my responsibility.

So, lay off.

Let's be systematic. This isn't your first day here.

Don't screw up. His Excellency's security depends on it.

Shit!

(Book - Literature Workshop)

Well, I'm just... looking for some books.

Heard you went through some trouble the other day.

No trouble at all. It was nothing.

Wow, this must be a sports gun.

Terrific! Freaking cool!

If you have something to say, spit it out.

All right.

I understand how you feel, but why don't you drop out?

You're young, in your twenties. You should live your life.

My life is none of your business.

Right, none of my business.

But, to do such a thing, you are too...

pretty.

It's a waste.

Ridiculous advice!

No disrespect,

but I'm just speaking as a person who has lived more years.

I care more about the people who died before me.

I guess it's the same with you.

What's going on?

Drag him out!

What's happening?

?nbsp;

?nbsp;

[Prosecutor Kang Woo Hyuk]

Oh, Beethoven!

High-class gangsters.

It's Mozart.

Hey, Ahn Su Ho.

Where's Kwak Jin Bae?

Jin Bae?

Why are you looking for him?

Listen up.

Threatening violence isn't a small crime.

You won't get away with hiding him.

Who is he after?

A former president.

The implications are obvious, right?

Kid, stop the engine.

Now, you listen.

Bring me Jin Bae and negotiate.

Or you can take the bullet.

I sent Jin Bae...

to buy cigarettes.

Jin Bae, the boss was taken in.

What do we do? We're losing our turf in Gwangju.

Did you buy the cigarettes?

Not yet, boss.

Jin Bae.

The thing you're going to do,

I don't know if it's the only way

or if it's the right thing.

But I hadn't even thought of it.

So, ending up here is a light sentence.

Until now, I just went about Kumnamro without any thought.

Now, I feel guilty.

And... shit...

I feel ashamed of my life.

Boss!

Jin Bae...

Don't look back.

Just look forward and run like hell.

We purchased this building a few years ago for this project.

He will help you.

600 meters ahead, at two o'clock.

It's like solving mazes.

This is the best we can do.

You were upset I didn't come every day?

I have work in Seoul these days.

The doctor says you're so much better now.

When I finish this work, let's go back home.

You know, that soldier who killed your dad...

He came to visit me some time ago.

He wept.

Asking me to forgive him.

He cried his eyes out and begged.

But...

I didn't cry.

I just stared.

I couldn't weep at all.

Hey, not again.

Stop this...

Mom, no matter how old you get, you don't change.

Always the same old fool.

Here's the info you requested.

Good, thanks.

It was hard to get it.

Jin Bae's gang is suffering from this.

Contrary to expectations, the prosecution took action.

Nothing was forwarded to our police station.

Maybe it was just a discreet intimidation attempt.

They move quickly with the government at their back,

so we should be more alert.

Did you kill my father?

So, you went to weep before my poor mom and made a show?

You want forgiveness, huh?

Was that the real reason you picked me? Huh?

In the name of revenge?

Using the son of the man you killed?

Holy hell!

Kwak Jin Bae!

Don't whine.

My father and I lived like dogs, just like you.

You aren't the only one.

I had no intention of hiding it.

I just thought it wasn't the right time.

It sounds funny, but I wanted to give both of us a chance.

Choose the person you want to kill.

Oh god.

Why is this so complicated?

This is getting us nowhere.

What are you going to do?

I'll kill that man.

Look, Mi Jin.

My aim isn't murder, but to make him apologize.

We gave him enough chances for that.

Over decades.

You took part in traffic control before?

Yes, but I no longer do it.

Do me a favor.

It's simple.

Just get me five seconds.

Die, all of you! Son of a bitch!

Bastards!

Me... My wife...

My wife is dead.

I'll kill all of you!

You bastards! (Sewoon Bridge)

You ate it up all...

And a person like me... even my kids...

Don't drink with it. Buy a meal.

Eat first...

and then drink.

Salute!

Why are you here?

Didn't you leave for support duty?

I'm not needed today.

I mulled over this, but this doesn't seem right.

If things go wrong, Mi Jin will be in danger.

The whole thing will be ruined.

You're closest to her now, Jin Bae!

Stupid bitch! Holy fuck!

He will depart shortly. Wait at your positions.

He just departed. Five minutes before he passes Seodaemun.

The kids in the police have it tough.

Are they still reimbursed from time to time?

Yes, Chief Tak makes sure they're treated well.

He's passing the rotary. He'll arrive in three minutes. Be ready.

He passed Namgajwa intersection. Get the next signal ready.

Stand by at Seodaemun intersection. Two minutes.

Are you hot?

Why is a young guy like you sweating buckets?

No...

Hey, Kwon Jeong Hyuk.

You volunteered for this today?

Why?

You don't really like this, do you?

He's entering Seodaemun. Change the signal.

Change the signal.

What are you doing, idiot?

Change the signal, Seodaemun!

Change it quickly!

Change the signal!

He is passing Seodaemun.

What are you doing over there?

Miss!

One.

Two.

No... No way...

What's that?

Three.

Four.

Five.

Too weak.

Hey, Kwon Jeong Hyuk!

Get off me!

- What are you doing? - Don't go!

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Please!

Too weak.

No!

Hey! Let go!

I can't!

This bastard! Darn it!

Make way!

One.

Two.

Are you crazy?

Let go!

Three.

Four.

Get off me!

Five!

Six!

Die.

Die!

Police! Police!

Stop it!

Damn bastard.

- Check if the V.I.P is safe! - Yes, sir.

Save the V.I.P first!

Protect the V.I.P! Hurry up!

Freeze!

Kwon Jeong Hyuk...

It's all right. You're okay.

Damn it.

Dad.

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Sorry, Dad.

I can't go any farther.

What the heck?

Ju Han.

Stop it.

Don't you know?

This isn't for you, Father.

It's for me.

To live.

I'm ready to give up my life to live.

Don't stop me.

We've come a long way.

It won't work this way.

From now on, I'll work alone.

No, you can't do it alone.

Things have gotten complicated, but we can still win.

I'll take care of it.

What do you know?

Everyone's grudge is as deep as yours!

It may kill us, but we can't live without trying.

[Shooting incident in downtown Seoul. Power struggle among Gwangju gangs.]

He went out in the morning...

Room 304...

No, he's right here. Let me just...

- Hey. - I can grab him.

You talk too much. Just follow him!

Yes, sir.

Last night, it was reported right away.

Gangsters? They're great at naming things!

What is it?

Oh?

Yesterday, this guy...

He came here some time ago.

Jingle bells!

- I am hungry. - Jingle bells! Hey!

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Good lord! You're awake!

You shouldn't be up. You have to lie down. You bled a lot.

You must still feel dizzy.

How's my hand?

Are you left-handed?

- No. - Oh, then no problem.

Hungry? We'll order Chinese food. What do you want?

- Well... - Their seafood noodles is killer!

You said it.

Seven seafood noodles.

Eight fried dumplings for free!

Come out, guys!

Oh, you studied abroad.

Why is someone like you so eager to guard His Excellency?

Aren't you satisfied with being the top company in the industry?

But we've never guarded the highest ranking personage.

We need to enhance our corporate image.

Right, rank cannot be ignored.

You've only been handling small fries?

I heard you're recruiting.

You know, madmen jump out from every corner these days.

We have to hurry, but there too many security companies.

- Excuse me. - Well, the competition is more than fierce.

Mad dog!

Want to die? What a loser!

Wow.

Girls like that are just my type.

Sorry, we're a little late.

Here's your car key, Director Tak.

Here it is.

In the trunk, we left boxes of apples.

Apples?

Apples are always welcome. Simple and traditional.

For the V.I.P, we prepared another gift.

Sure enough, the well-educated are different.

I like you.

The lecture will begin soon. Guests, please be seated.

Once again, the lecture is beginning. Guests, please take your seats.

Now, to the greatest president of our era!

Let us wish him a long life by making a deep bow.

Everyone, step forward.

May you enjoy a long life!

Please go back to your seats.

Go back to your seats, please!

[Security Report]

You found it?

Give it to me.

These people don't seem connected in any way.

The higher-ups also told us to wrap it up quietly.

Hey, don't you smell something?

What smell?

Look. His mother and her father.

They died on May 18.

What about that?

Good lord.

Oh, that's why Kwon Jeong Hyuk...

Lower your voice, idiot.

He lost his elder sister in the May 18 incident.

So, that's why they disbanded the investigation team.

This is fishy.

Did you identify the car at the crossroad?

They told me to stop the investigation.

So, I stopped.

You...

What?

It's a depot car. No need to check.

- You idiot! - What?

Find that car in an internal investigation.

Tell the guy after Kwon Jeong Hyuk to watch his tongue, got it?

Yikes!

Get some rest.

You never listen. You need to lie down.

Move over.

Is this it?

Good. This one will do.

Looks somewhat complicated.

I heard it has a striking range of 800 meters.

Hey!

Looks like a remodeled M16.

I guess it can fire a good volley.

Good. Nice.

Why are these so hard to fix?

You know how to use this?

They teach you at the local office if you become a gangster.

But aren't you surprised from seeing all these thugs?

I hardly get surprised.

You aren't, but you're great at freaking others out.

Sorry.

As long as you're aware.

And...

Thank you.

As long as you're aware of that, too.

Here.

Oh?

Wow! You're completely different when you smile!

I must live honestly.

Suddenly, I feel that way.

Jeong Hyuk, until now...

If I'd known this, I wouldn't have joined.

Everything is ruined! Shit!

Well, I'm sorry things went wrong.

- But still... - Turn yourselves in, all of you.

What?

I...

I'll be reinstated regardless of what happens.

So, let's stop here.

I'll wait for you at the police station.

Jeong Hyuk!

He's meeting someone, but I can't see who it is.

What did I say?

Keep an eye out and don't lose him, okay?

Thanks.

Director Ma.

Let's open the investigation.

If we do, we can catch him right away.

That's out of question.

Keep it as discreet as possible.

What am I supposed to do

If you cover it up this way and things go wrong,

I'll be the one to get sacked, right?

And if I get sacked,

will the bigshot here take care of me? Huh?

This is driving me crazy.

What are you doing here?

Good morning, Big Bro!

Good morning, Big Bro!

Come inside.

What's all this?

We know you're not eating well, Big Bro.

So, we brought some food.

Big Bro.

Those cigarettes...

Let us buy them with you.

Don't talk nonsense.

To be frank, you need more hands, don't you?

What about the boss?

Big Bro.

We went to see the boss this morning.

He should be given a chance.

Us, too.

Am I right?

That's right, Big Bro!

Pancakes and side dishes!

Has Jeong Hyuk vanished for good?

Yes.

Timid as he is, I wonder if he's starving somewhere.

They fixed the date and contacted us.

But the police are pretty tense after the previous incident...

So, we need to sidetrack the district police with a major incident.

I'll do it.

I was planning to anyway. I made a promise.

I promised the chief of the security team that I'd be back.

Well, what about the escape route?

Is it secured?

Let's eat.

I'm hungry. Move it, quick.

It's me. How's it going?

I lost the car that Jeong Hyuk met up with.

What?

I lost it.

Hey, how could you lose it? Aren't you a cop?

He went to the toilet, so I went too because I was about to pee my pants.

He was gone when I came out.

- Honam Expressway, right? - Yes.

He must be in Gwangju.

- Just come back. - Come back? Okay.

By the way, is Kwon Jeong Hyuk around?

- What? Yes, he's here. - They almost killed him yesterday.

I'm worried about him.

Are you there? Hello?

I want this job to be successful.

Both my parents died in Gwangju.

Right before my eyes.

My present father took care of me.

After that day...

I don't know how I lived on.

My head's been empty.

He lives without a future.

Just like me.

I'm starting to like him.

Why don't you eat?

Hey, eat first.

Here.

What'll become of me?

You're on sick leave now. Don't worry.

Come to work as if nothing happened, okay?

Sooner or later, everyone makes mistakes.

It's natural.

Isn't that so?

Why are you so nice to me?

We are colleagues, aren't we?

[Yuyoung Mortuary]

You are amazingly active, traveling everywhere.

That's my mom.

My father.

This feels really...

How do I put it...

Yeah.

This makes everyone look like one big family.

Yes, one over there, another there. Gosh.

Look, what do you call it...

You shaking?

Cry it all out. Just this one time.

Later.

All at once.

Today is the 26th anniversary of the May 18 Gwangju Democracy Movement.

Over 4000 family members, politicians, and officials took part in the ceremony.

A line formed at the 5.18 graves to commemorate the departed.

[5,000 participated in the 26th 5.18 Commemoration]

[Seodaemun Police Station]

What is this?

The car at the intersection.

Didn't you say it was a depot car?

I checked and found out it comes to this building often.

- X-Cop? - Yeah.

What kind of a company is this? Did you look into it?

Yeah, it's a good and clean company in the industry with sound financing.

Is that all?

It's the people that matter.

Oh, I have that here. His name is...

Kim Se... Kim... What was it?

Kim Gap Se.

The car's owner is the chairman's secretary, Kim Ju Han.

Identify that vehicle.

Yes, sir.

Check it.

- What is your purpose here? - We scheduled an appointment.

I am Kim Ju Han of X-Cop.

Your name isn't on the list.

- Please check with your superiors. - Wait a moment.

Chief, what should we do with the 1290 X-Cop vehicle?

- Let it pass. - Yes, sir.

Let them pass.

Welcome.

We heard about you from Director Tak.

- Yes. - Come in.

Just a moment.

Before you enter, we need to do a simple inspection.

Is there a problem?

It's the regular procedure.

Come this way.

Begin.

All in order.

Come in.

What's that?

A gift for His Excellency.

We have to open that and check it.

Show him.

Open it.

Hey, moron! Don't touch that!

Close it!

What a rude way to treat His Excellency's guest!

You're touching His Excellency's gift, too?

Senseless...

I am sorry.

Let me apologize on their behalf, Mr. Chairman.

Come inside.

Director Ma, I will vouch for them.

Open the doors.

Should I step aside?

That isn't necessary.

No, no, you need to speak freely.

Let's talk later.

This way.

Wait here for a moment.

Attention!

Listen carefully now.

First, take all the tools out.

Put them all down.

- What? What do you mean? - Right now!

Hurry up. Put them down.

This is brand new.

- Be careful! - Remember this.

No knives. Even if you die,

you must not hurt anyone.

Got it?

Today, we aren't gangsters.

We're the sons of Gwangju! Don't forget!

Come inside, Mr. Chairman.

How about a cup of coffee in my office?

No, thanks. I will wait here.

Very well.

If you stand in there,

that's all you can see.

And that's the best for us.

I know.

I will move you to the right position.

I've done it over 100 times. I'll be insanely precise.

I've received several as gifts and made some.

I have an eye for it now.

And this thing is...

A work of art!

I like it.

Thank you. Thank you.

You wanted to see me?

Take a seat.

You hurt your toe.

You even bandaged it.

You know pain.

It took me 26 years.

After countless failures and suffering, I'm finally here thanks to you.

I had to become the head of a large conglomerate because not anyone can meet you.

But I had to meet you.

Today, I am here to get an answer from you.

Huh?

26 years ago, on this day...

To be precise, this day in May 1980.

- Do you remember? - What?

Your life depends on your attitude.

What's with you?

You're talking ancient history!

Talks about that is in the past.

Listen. We invoked the military's power of self-defense.

This son of a bitch!

I knew nothing until they reported it to me.

The military's power of self-defense?

You knew nothing?

I was a soldier of the martial law forces.

The order came from you.

Admit the truth and beg for forgiveness.

Then, we can finish this quietly.

Everything has already ended in silence.

It may be over for you, but not me.

To achieve power,

you trampled on innocent citizens and cut them down bleeding with guns and swords.

Yet, over these 26 years, you never once said a word of apology.

You're really starting to bore me.

Bore you?

This isn't fresh news.

What is it?

The new security company is X-cop, right?

Secretary Kim Ju Han, Chairman Kim Gap Se.

And today is that day.

I feel uneasy, so I'm coming over.

Hello? Hello?

Hey! Director Ma!

Shit! Step on it!

Arrest him.

What? What is this?

- Block the entrance! - Yes, sir!

What are you doing?

Why? What happened?

Why are you so serious?

I told you not to screw up.

Wait here.

I'm boring you?

It wasn't me, I tell you.

Through your order, I became your filthy instrument to commit murder!

How are you free from blame?

Unbelievable.

Leave now.

Where is that bum Director Tak?

People like you commit crimes...

and live decadent lives with no apology, so this society...

This society is getting sick.

Hey.

I received special training.

That pistol doesn't scare me.

Listen up, Hyun. Grab everyone from X-Cop! Emergency!

Damn!

Bastard!

You brought that upon yourself.

Beg for forgiveness!

You should know shame!

Kim Gap Se.

I secured an escape route so you can evacuate safely.

I don't need it.

Okay.

- What's that? - What the heck?

Cops!

Damn it! Tailgate it!

Step on the gas!

Hey, girl!

I wish you success!

You seem to know each other.

Sorry, Your Excellency.

You better talk things over.

You bastard! How dare you! Son of a bitch!

What's going on?

Clean up the library.

Young people don't seem to like me.

I never did them any harm.

It's only the beginning.

Move quick! Hurry!

- Director Ma, what happened? - Quickly!

- Group 1, block the entrance. - I couldn't contact you.

Groups 2 and 3, block the alley! That way!

- Channel 88 will be used! - Kwon Jeong Hyuk, come here.

Korea has become a very nice country.

What?

Hey! Block the front!

Block it! Hurry, run!

- What's that? - Probably Kwak Jin Bae.

A little more!

Hey, familiar faces!

Break it!

Block them!

We need more forces!

A little more...

I got it.

What's this?

Damn it! Break through!

I found it! Found it!

Are you shot? Answer!

Are you all right?

- Freeze! - Are you all right?

Director Ma, we located the shooting position.

We'll take care of it.

But the lever is destroyed!

We can't lower the crane!

Open the damn door, idiot!

Director Ma!

Drag all those rioters out!

How can you allow this mob to run rampant through the house in broad daylight?

Rioters?

Don't use that word!

We aren't rioters.

The true rioters were your pawns.

You know that?

Stop shooting.

Stop it! I said, stop!

Can you even see anything?

- Wipe them all out! - Ma Sang Ryol!

Come to your senses, Ma Sang Ryol.

We shouldn't be protecting him.

We should protect these kids.

We have to finish it here.

Don't stop me, Ma Sang Ryol.

Don't insult His Excellency.

Sang Ryol!

What he did do to us, to these kids,

and to these kids' parents!

Have you forgotten?

Come to your senses!

His Excellency's history is... just.

Damned history!

That's your dirty greed for power!

How long will you leave it to history?

- Shut up! - Ma Sang Ryol!

You commie!

Commie?

- Commie... - Ju Han!

My mom and dad were not communists!

Why did you kill them?

Why? Why did you kill them?

Why?

- Ju Han! Ju Han! - Nol

Ju Han!

Big Bro!

- Come quickly! - Come quick! Over here!

Come out!

Hurry up!

What's with the reinforcements?

They're climbing over the wall!

Did you arrive?

Move the car!

Good.

That's Shim Mi Jin, right?

Get her!

Capture her!

You...

Ju Han!

Ju Han!

- I'm really... - Ju Han, my boy!

Ju Han.

F-Father...

Ju Han...

I'm sorry, my son.

His Excellecy is just.

Let's stop, Ma Sang Ryol.

Let's not shoot anyone else.

Director Ma, what are you doing?

Shoot him right now!

Don't order me!

What?

I said, don't order me!

Director, drop your gun.

Don't order me around again.

Understood?

What the hell are they doing?

Kwak Jin Bae!

Shoot him!

Otherwise, we'll never be forgiven!

Let's not betray the next generation.

We must finish it now.

Shoot! Now!

Step aside, Ma Sang Ryol!

Out of the way!

I said, don't order me.

I promised my sister I'd be a good policeman!

Your sister? You son of a bitchl!

Bastard!

What? A cop?

How about you? What have you done?

Tell me!

Yes, I lived like a dog!

But what are you?

A policeman should protect good citizens, right?

Is that bastard a good citizen?

Is it a cop's duty to protect that murderer?

Come to your senses, Kwon Jeong Hyuk!

You bastard!

Aren't you ashamed?

Aren't you sorry to your sister?

Director Ma.

Are you going to shoot me with that gun?

No.

You must not die.

You bastard.

Until the end of time,

you have to live on brazenly...

to prove that my life has been just.

Do you understand?

Y-Your Excellency.

Your Excellency.

Y-Your Excellency.

Search inside!

I'm sorry.

Hey, call the ambulance.

Hey! Where are you going?

Get him in here! You guys, get off!

Hey, can you save him?

He must be kept alive!

Kim Gap Se! Get up!

Damn! You should die by my hand!

Don't die this way!

Kim Gap Se!

Shit!

Kwon Jeong Hyuk!

Well done.

You caught Kwak Jin Bae? Come here.

Chief Choi!

The other site hasn't been secured.

Chief, come here quickly!

Damn you! What have you been doing? Hurry up!

Damn it! What can I do with no equipment? Just come over here!

I'll take charge here. Please handle that quickly.

The V.I.P is furious.

Come, quick! Oh, gosh! Hurry up!

Come here now!

Okay, I'll go over.

It ends like this.

Just like this.

I feel so sorry.

So ashamed.

And so, very, angry.

Yong Go.

Have you eaten?

Jong Seok, have you eaten?

Boys, did all of you eat?

Yes, Big Bro.

What the heck is with your voices?

Have you eaten well?

Yes, Big Bro!

Time to work for the rice you ate!

Big Bro, let us use the tools now!

Yes! Do as you like!

Break through once again!

What? Again?

Come here, idiot! Help me with this!

Is this the only entrance?

- Hey, Inspector Park! - Yes, sir.

Can't you do something?

That way!

- Let me carry the bag. - It's all right. Let's go.

Son of a bitch!

Who do you think you are, bastard? Die!

Die! Die!

Die!

There's no time.

No time, damn it.

No time left!

Die!

It's dangerous.

What are you doing, Jin Bae?

Kill him quickly!

- Now! - No!

Jin Bae!

- Inspector Park! - I'm fine.

- Get up. - Are you all right?

What are you doing?

Shoot!

Do it! There's no time!

It's been 26 years! 26 years!

If we lose this chance, what future will we have?

Don't live life feeling sorry!

Don't live life in shame!

Don't blame the world anymore!

Now, let go of everything!

Grab her!

What are you doing?

- You bastard! - We did all we could! Let go!

If we don't stop this, both of us will die, you fool!

Big Bro!

I can't.

Too dangerous.

You'll be hurt.

Don't think! If you think, you lose!

Shim Mi Jin!

Put down the rifle!

Let's finish this quickly.

We'll watch movies like others...

and go to amusement parks, damn it!

So, shoot now!

Shim Mi Jin!

Kwak Jin Bae.

Fuck!

Remember your father burning to death!

It was nice knowing you.

[This morning]

About face!

All done, let's go.

Aren't you coming?
