01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

Hello, Mr. Kang.

Think you're better than me?

You as*h*le.

You think I don't know what you're up to.

Is that it?

Eungsoo.

The target of this op is Jeon Yohan,

who controls cocaine distribution

in Suriname.

You will enter Paramaribo

as soon as Jeon's cocaine is confirmed

to be in American territory.

Afterwards,

infiltrate Jeon's residence with the LZ

just northwest of the compound.

After suppressing any local resistance,

secure the target.

Capturing Jeon alive

is of utmost importance,

as he must stand trial

in American and South Korean courts,

in addition to exposing

his connection to the Cali Cartel.

How much resistance can we expect?

Twenty heavily armed personal bodyguards

from a Nigerian t*rror1st group

stay with Jeon at all times.

All right, glad that's got your attention.

Plus, 20 to 30 followers

armed and trained.

I'm told there are NIS agents on site?

One agent, to be precise.

A former special forces soldier.

He infiltrated Jeon's organization

and is one of his confidants.

We are in close contact with him

to monitor the situation on the ground.

And

we also have a civilian informant in play.

He will get out of the way

as soon as the op begins.

What if he can't?

It won't be easy to protect a civilian

in the middle of the op.

We'll have to exclude him from the plan.

Dad,

are you really coming back soon?

Of course. I've been keeping an eye

on your report card too.

That always puts me in a good mood.

Are you being nice to your sister?

She only ever wants to play sports.

She's so bad at math, Dad,

but I've been teaching her.

Nuh-uh! I'm good at math too!

Hey, both of you just keep doing

what you're best at, all right?

- Now pass the phone to Mom.

- Okay.

- So when will you be back?

- Tomorrow.

Or at least I should be.

If not, this weekend.

Come home.

They're growing up so fast.

I have to go. It's their bedtime.

Hmm, okay. Hmm.

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL AIRPOR

USA

As soon as the cocaine

gets to Puerto Rico on the flight,

the DEA will be all over it.

Getting you onboard that plane

and out of Suriname

is the number one priority.

Why would I want to stay?

The operation will be over, right?

I'm sick of Suriname.

Right.

Sounds like I'll be seeing you soon.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Here.

Thanks.

Wow, we just couldn't have asked

for a better day, could we?

"What you decide upon, it will be done,

and light will shine on your ways."

So, it's a sign

everything will go smoothly.

My god is here for us,

since we are more rich in faith.

Shall we go?

Let's go!

Ah!

Nothing quit like that smell.

I think it's a smell I could get used to.

Why don't we cut to the chase?

There's a great deal of concern upstairs

about the remaining payment.

We can't send our men in

without an NIS guarantor.

Sorry.

I quit smoking after Iraq.

Smoking room's right there.

Oh, sorry.

Can I make a call?

By all means.

OFFICE OF NIS DIRECTOR, WASHINGTON D.C.

What? Is this funny to you?

You prick.

You're honestly asking if the agency

can be a guarantor for mercenaries?

This op is done.

Director,

Jeon is putting his product on the plane,

and the DEA's ready to back us up now.

I have to capture him.

That's all that's left. Why would we quit?

Agent, everything's all set?

- Are you sure?

- Of course.

Your decision is the final piece, sir.

You've been overseeing the operation

since the get go.

We're not moving on this

until you give the all clear.

sh*t.

My, you're persuasive.

The final decision is yours.

Your approval will decide this

once and for all.

All right, Choi.

I'll provide the guarantee,

you bring him in.

And we're gonna have a conversation

when you're back.

Get moving!

I appreciate it.

Yes!

Yes!

Pastor, the plane is ready to go.

Okay. Pack up the goods.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey, Ingu,

have you been eating well?

Ah, we're just about to have our dessert

after a great lunch.

Everything's ready here, so I'll text you

the details about the time and location.

The flight to Puerto Rico is leaving soon.

Excellent work.

Hey, we should grab a drink later

to celebrate.

Yeah, just

make sure the goods get here safe.

Can you do that?

What? Do you think so little of me?

All right, just be sure

to eat on the airplane, yeah?

See you soon. Bye.

Hmm.

Oh, here's his text.

He says they've set 1:00 p.m.

for the rendezvous,

and that the location is Runway Three

at the airport in Vieques.

Okay, then.

So shall we?

VIEQUES AIRPORT, PUERTO RICO

Let's go!

Two hours till the start of the operation.

Look at this.

The president even sent us

his best Air Force pilot.

Looks like he's finally doing his job

after you told him off.

All right. I'll take all this over

and be back with loads of cash.

Wait a minute.

Here's a thought.

Why don't you just stay here?

What? Why?

I'd love to talk with you.

Mm-hmm, let's do that.

Puerto Rico's not far.

- Mr. Lee can go instead.

- Yes, Pastor.

Wait.

There are rules in this business.

To not be there in person would be rude.

I thought you were hoping

to build an empire.

Hmm. Good point, Ingu.

So, let's say I go with you.

But it'll be a hassle.

All right. Let's go.

Tell me. Why bother going

just to fly back right away

when we could be drinking soju?

Uh, I'm not so sure that Sangman's

going to be thrilled about all this.

We don't need the guy's permission

for everything.

I agree. I'll just go call

and give him an update.

You should come yourself, Ingu.

You better catch another flight.

As a key piece in this,

you have to be there.

That won't be possible.

Once the deal is finished,

I'll have a better idea

of what comes next.

You can't honestly be serious.

Do you want to put me on the phone

with the pastor?

I don't think he'll change his mind.

It seemed like he and the deacon

were already agreed.

I see.

All right, then.

I'll call you.

Once the deal is done.

Okay. Sounds good.

Good luck.

Okay.

Mr. Kang is staying behind.

Jeon didn't let him leave.

Do you think Jeon knows what we're doing?

If so, he would've backed out.

I think he's just being cautious.

Lee Sangjun's coming instead.

What if the plane gets here

and there's no coke?

What if he loaded fake goods instead

just to see how we'd react?

Okay.

The safety of Mr. Kang is our priority.

Are you disappointed?

I'm not too heartbroken, but it's a shame.

I heard there was

going to be a pool party.

Mr. Kang.

The pool party isn't what matters here.

Right.

Byun, what're you doing?

This is the best part.

Yes, Pastor.

In this world, no one tells me

Which is a forest

And which is a swamp

Registration number 113-25.

Salvation Army transport, Red Shield.

Request permission

to enter Puerto Rico's airspace.

The control tower

has granted them authorization.

ETA, 15 minutes.

Why do you think he made me stay?

Does he suspect?

It does seem like Jeon's

holding you hostage.

But I still haven't figured out why

just yet.

So, you wait for my signal.

I'll distract the pastor,

and you get the embassy.

What happens if he figures this thing out?

We'll be done.

That is not your problem now.

You just worry

about keeping yourself safe.

The operation matters to me.

I risked my life for this thing.

What are you going to do

if he manages to get away?

He'll be gone forever

if he makes it into the jungle.

That won't happen on my watch.

I've heard that before.

This whole mess is on you guys.

You think I wanted to be here? Huh?

We've gotta make sure he can't run.

I'll sabotage his car's engine.

So you'll have to stall him

so I could do it, okay?

Are you sure you can pull it off?

You know I ran a shop for a decade?

You're just gonna have to trust me

on this one.

What are you guys talking about?

It's funny.

From back there, you look friendly.

- You two close?

- Ha!

No, we're not close.

This lunatic won't stop flipping the meat

even though I told him not to.

And he won't stop whining about it.

Listen, Pastor.

This little blowhard won't stop telling me

that I'm grilling wrong.

Apparently,

you taught him to grill like this.

My parents died when I was nine.

After that, the very first job I had

was delivering meat in Majang-dong.

So when it comes to meat,

you don't know squat compared to me.

All I'm saying

is if you grill pork this way,

you run the risk of losing the juices.

Hey.

Stop sh*t-talking the meat

and grab some sausages.

The Johnsonville ones.

Okay.

Don't worry, I got it.

I'll call you back later, okay?

What are you doing here?

Calling my wife in my car.

That's all.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

Hey!

The Pastor wants to see you now.

Now?

No.

I have another call.

I said right now!

Go!

Okay.

Hey.

What took you so long? The meat's ready.

Oh, my wife called. Kids' school stuff.

Is that all of the Johnsonville?

No.

Too many of them. Couldn't manage.

All right, listen up.

Our main priority is Operation Virginia.

First, no unnecessary shots.

Second, be quick.

The objective is to confirm

possession of cocaine.

Not start a f*cking w*r, all right?

- Yes, sir.

- They've landed.

Welcome to Puerto Rico!

Thanks for coming all this way.

Hello, Deacon Lee.

Who's this guy?

I shouldn't introduce him in the open.

Put simply, he's going to be liaising

with the US Army.

Shall we check the goods now?

Well, actually,

Pastor told me to check the money.

The most important this is the money.

I get that,

but you wave cash around out here,

the cops will be on us.

Once I check the cargo,

you'll get the cash.

Mr. Goo. What's going on?

We don't have time to waste here.

This is f*cking dangerous.

I know. I know, I know.

Hey, calm down. Calm down.

Give me a minute to check.

Wow! Pork is tender and juicy

as rib-eye steak. Delicious!

Mm-hmm.

A miracle like the fish in loaves.

As I thought.

I'm supposed to check the money first.

Come on. I'm dying out here, man.

Are you really that dumb? Huh?

- Is there a problem?

- Hold on.

I can handle it.

All right. You win.

Bring the plane into the hangar first

and check out the money there.

My men are waiting for me, okay?

Quick. Before we're spotted out here.

You heard him.

He needs to check the money first.

- Out of the question.

- I know.

But he's not from Virginia like you.

I guess this is Paramaribo style.

Let's just go with it.

Wait!

It's a change of plans!

He's saying

All right, then.

Let's go with the Paramaribo style.

Abort Operation Virginia,

initiate Paramaribo!

Prepare live rounds!

Right.

The money's all there.

Wanna see for yourself?

We're with NIS.

Slowly put your hands up.

Don't move!

DEA! You're under arrest!

Drop your weapons and get on the ground!

Drop your weapons and get on the ground!

I repeat!

Drop your weapons and get on the ground!

sh*t!

Hold your fire! Don't sh**t!

I believe in the Almighty Father,

and my lord

- Sangjun, it's all over.

- I believe in Jesus Christ

You're a criminal

and a disgrace to Korea.

by the Holy Spirit.

That's enough. Come on.

who suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, and died.

I believe in the communion of saints,

and the forgiveness of sins,

and the resurrection of the body,

and in life everlasting.

We got it.

We have confirmed possession of cocaine

in US territory in Puerto Rico.

This site is now under DEA jurisdiction

and I ask for your full cooperation.

PMC "BLUE TARGET" BASE, VENEZUELA

Okay, okay! Let's go, let's go!

Let's go!

Agent Choi,

Jeon is still sending messages to Lee.

He's asking him for an update.

What do we do? Over.

Check their message history

and send back a similar reply.

Do what you need to do

to keep him off of us until we get there.

Buy us more time. Over.

ETA?

Forty minutes to Suriname airspace.

Any word from Mr. Goo?

No, he said he'd call when it's all done.

Why? Is Lee not responding?

PASTOR

Pretty soon, he'll be in our custody.

Do you honestly believe

that after all this, he'll just confess?

He'll need someone to take the fall.

And who do you think that'll be?

The Lord God is punishing us for our sins.

The heathen brought us to this.

sh*t.

You know what the sentence is

for drug trafficking?

In Korea, you can get up to ten years.

But if we hand you over to the DEA,

you'll rot in a US jail

till you die. Understood?

It's your choice.

You cannot persecute or threaten me

with the mortal laws of man.

I know.

I know that.

It's not a threat, it's just a fact.

We're gonna make sure the DEA

releases you into our custody

and get you the lighter sentence.

All you gotta do is lie to the pastor

over the phone now. Hmm?

PASTOR

Okay.

I am taking this call now,

whether you like it or not.

Lie to him or don't,

but your fate is in your hands.

Understood?

Hello? Hello?

I'm here, Pastor.

Why didn't you pick up before?

It's been ringing forever.

Hello? What's wrong?

There's bad reception, Father.

I handed over the goods

and checked the cash.

It went smoothly, Pastor.

When I get back,

why don't you and I have a drink?

A drink? Really?

All right.

I've got a great bottle

of champagne chilling now.

Come back in one piece.

I will, Pastor.

He'll be back soon with all the money.

I should go and prepare the champagne.

Hallelujah.

YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE

LAST INVITATION FOR VIP

VISIT HERE IN TEN MINUTES

Ten minutes to Suriname airspace.

I have a question.

What are you doing in Puerto Rico now?

I'm in Puerto Rico?

You asked me to stay in Suriname.

I mean, what are Sangman and you

planning to do in Puerto Rico?

You trying to take my coke?

Sell it all on your own?

Have you lost your mind?

I thought you said Sangjun's coming back

since it went so well.

He asked if we could share

a drink together.

Now, does he strike you as a drinker?

Tell me what's going on.

Is Sangman holding Sangjun hostage?

Or is it that maybe

he's hoping to have a drink

with his boss to celebrate?

You m*therf*cking liar.

Unless you want me to blow your head off,

you'll tell me where my goods are.

What a mood k*ller.

How about you radio the plane then?

Weren't we supposed to be celebrating

the deal with champagne?

We don't have much time.

Go straight to the coordinates

and detain the mark in ten minutes.

Fly as low as possible to avoid radar,

until we reach Suriname airspace.

Pastor.

I just checked with Air Force.

They're in contact

with the Salvation Army pilot.

They say no problem.

If you'd like, I can check again.

Yes, please.

I'm really sorry to put it like this.

You have trust issues. Serious ones.

What about the open-mindedness of faith?

I am very open-minded,

yet the devil spawn won't stop testing me.

No, no!

I'm sure there's a problem.

Look into things, whatever it takes.

SURINAME AIR FORCE BASE

We're approaching the border.

Stand by.

You have entered

the Republic of Suriname airspace.

If you do not present

your flight identification number,

you will be shot down.

This is the US DEA.

We are entering Suriname

to capture a drug lord

who has transported drugs into the US.

We're enforcing

the law of the United States.

Therefore, we urgently request

your unconditional cooperation.

Four minutes to coordinates.

Fly as low as possible.

Hold on!

Air Force say DEA crossed border

into my country!

Did you break our rule

and sell coke to US?

Why are they in Suriname!

I'll handle it.

Just stay on them.

sh*t!

DEA?

How long you've been with the DEA?

How long was it?

Ever since you screwed up

my skate business?

Or was it the first day I arrived here?

Memory's fuzzy.

I thought you were possessed by Satan.

It turns out you're just a rat.

Time's up. You better answer me!

Tell me where the coke is.

In the US you're so scared of.

If you want it, why don't you go get it?

Piece of sh*t rat! f*ck you!

Yes, Mr. President.

What's going on?

DEA's not on our radar!

Send the Air Force and sh**t them down.

What? Attack America?

That's the only way to survive.

And send the f*cking troops here!

I was helping you get rich.

And then you pull this idiotic sh*t?

Oh.

I don't understand.

What are you doing, Byun?

The target is on the roof.

Take caution.

The informant and the NIS agent

are also present.

On the rooftop. Target secured.

Armed men are gathered

at the south entrance of the compound.

Five more men approaching

from three o'clock.

Six men gathered

in front of the main building entrance.

Behind the north building,

two, four six men.

Jeon Yohan.

It's over. Surrender to us.

Oh sh*t!

- f*ck!

- Damn it!

- Pastor! Pastor! We have to go!

- Let go!

Let go! sh*t!

Hey! Ah!

Go, go, go!

Okay! Go!

Pile of sh*t! Let go! Let go!

f*cking hell!

Take Pastor! Protect Pastor!

sh*t!

- It's not working!

- sh*t!

Hey! Hey, President!

Where is the army?

sh*t!

You lost your mind?

Send the f*cking soldiers right now,

you f*cking as*h*le!

Over here, Pastor! Over here!

Go! Hurry! Go, go, go!

Gallas, please!

We will get the pastor!

Humans cannot harm the pastor!

You, Judas, must die!

Don't move!

- Don't sh**t!

- Put your g*ns down!

Enemies spotted

fleeing the compound.

The target is among them. I'll open fire.

Careful, we need the target alive.

Let's go!

sh*t.

The target's attempting

to escape on a boat.

Over there!

Over there! There! There! Hey, stop! Stop!

f*ck!

Ah! Oh sh*t!

Ah!

sh*t!

Hey!

Come here!

Die, you son of a b*tch!

You as*h*le!

Ah!

Son of a b*tch! I'll k*ll you!

You are Satan.

In the name of God!

You b*stard!

Eungsoo's dead, and my life is ruined!

Stop!

DEA! Get your hands in the air!

Now!

No! He's k*lling me!

Get up!

Don't sh**t! Don't sh**t, don't sh**t!

Don't sh**t! Please! Please!

Don't sh**t!

Stop!

I I'm a pastor! I'm a pastor!

I I don't know anything.

- Down on the ground!

- Okay! Okay! Okay!

- Down, now!

- Okay, okay, okay. Don't sh**t!

I'm a pastor! I'm a pastor!

I'm a pastor! Please!

I'm a pastor! I'm a pastor!

Mr. Yohan, I'm with the NIS.

Along with the DEA,

and on behalf of us both,

I'm placing you under arrest for m*rder

and drug trafficking.

sh*t.

You have the right

to an attorney

and the right to remain silent.

You

sh*t.

Once we are done

with the Cali Cartel investigation,

I'll send Jeon to Korea right away.

Great.

I wanna visit you in Virginia someday.

Thank you.

Bring some scotch.

Sure. You got it.

Agent Kim.

It couldn't have been easy.

Just doing my job, sir.

Hey.

Would you mind having a look

at my mom's car for me?

What's the model?

Galloper.

Bring it by.

But let's get back home first.

Mr. Kang.

We appreciate your work.

Yeah.

Back at you.

EDEN SNACKS

All right, here's your gimbap.

- Ah, great.

- Thanks so much.

- Enjoy.

- Thank you.

All done?

How much more do you have to do?

Have you finished all this?

What about this?

This one's still blank.

This one too.

Okay?

- And that one.

- Dad?

Daddy's back!

It's so

Took you long enough.

Sorry.

Wait. You got prettier.

I mean

Did you get some work done?

Why did you get so ugly?

I only married you for your face.

You going away?

No, no way.

Never again.

SIX MONTHS LATER

JACKSON CAR CENTER

My turn.

Wow, it looks so authentic.

Looks like the real thing.

Of course it does.

All of the parts,

including the tension rod,

only affect the cushioning

of the lower body of the vehicle.

Western and Korean cars

have different shells on top.

So we just put a brand-new body

on the guts.

Sure am glad I came to you.

Ah, you made a good choice.

You saved money, and also

you bought Korean-made products.

Patriotic.

This guy.

I cannot believe

this model's still running.

You scrapping it?

No.

There's been some reports

that a garage out here in Dongducheon

has been ripping people off.

Huh.

From who?

And you never even paid me

the rest of the money you promised.

I should report you for that, you know?

Where is my money, anyway?

That's part of the reason I came by.

We had to take it up the chain.

While they weren't able to pay cash,

I figured out an even better solution.

We'll let you take over

two of our karaoke bars.

This way, it works out

to several times more than I promised

over just a couple of years.

No.

Forget it.

I left all of that behind.

You do understand you get them for free?

Absolutely no catch.

There's always a catch, you know?

Besides, I only want to work

for myself now.

Let me ask you a question, Choi.

When can I let people know

that I worked with the NIS?

Ooh boy.

Well, you can tell people

anything you want,

but we can never

acknowledge you officially.

Why?

Well,

you know

After all the things that went down,

this story's about all I have.

I want my son and my daughter to be,

well, at least proud of their dad.

Working with the NIS would make me cool.

I went to see Jeon, you know?

Yeah, he's appealing his sentence,

isn't he?

He is.

He wanted me to pass along

a message to you.

He said you have something of his.

What?

Some autographed baseball, I think.

Huh?

Hyungju.

Would you bring me the ball?

This baseball with the fake autograph?

Well, I'm no expert,

but the pastor told me this ball

is the only real thing

that he's ever owned.

This is authentic?

That's what he said,

but I have no idea really.

Who knows?
