Legendary king of the casino in the Philippines confronts unfortunate events after getting tangled up in a m*rder case.

02x05 - The Last Ruling

Post by bunniefuu »

[sirens wailing]

[in Tagalog] Sir, do you think what
you're doing will change the world?

Do you think that's even possible?

I've never seen
the director so angry before.

[upbeat music]

What are they doing here?

I'm not sure, sir.

[inhales]

What are you doing here?

The mayor sent us.

The mayor? Why?

He told us to protect Mr. Cha

so that he can make it safely
onto the plane.

[in English]
Everybody, out!

-Move!
-Hurry.

Move.

REPORTER [in Tagalog]:
A Korean m*rder suspect,

Mr. Cha, has been arrested

and is currently being transported
back to Korea.

REPORTER: His arrest was difficult

because the government
had been protecting him.

The NBI played a crucial role
in arresting the suspect.

Mr. Cha, who is currently wanted
in Korea, is finally being deported.

[reporters clamoring]

[theme music]

[camera shutter clicks]

[siren wailing]

[rustling]

[g*nsh*t]

BIG BET

THE LAST RULING

[indistinct PA announcement]

[crowd murmuring]

[in English]
Take it off.

[in Korean]
You little sh*t.

[in Tagalog]
What are you doing?

[scoffs]

I'm sorry,

but your job is finished, isn't it?

What do you mean, finished?

Your job was to bring Mr. Cha here.

You can go now.

[breathing heavily]

[in Korean]
So it's you, guys?

MOOSIK: Are you guys here to take me back?

[sighs]

Tough job, right?

Come here.

[in Tagalog]
Get out.

[sighs]
Son of a b*tch.

MOOSIK [in Korean]: Gosh.

[grunts]

[sighs]

What's your name?

I'm Detective Kim Dukgu.

And you?

I'm Assistant Inspector Choi Mingu.

What about you?

MOOSIK: Why are you the only one
wearing a suit?

I'm a consul from the embassy.

When did you get here?

Yesterday.

So you got here yesterday,
and you're taking me back to Korea today?

Wow, you guys are k*lling me here.

Why didn't you come
and see me yesterday then?

Come here, sit down.

Don't just stand there
looking so uncomfortable.

Sit down, okay?

The plane's leaving
in four hours anyway, right?

[in English]
Hey.

[smacks lips]

How many of you?

Around 40, sir.

Forty? Forty.

Uh, forty plus you and everybody?

Uh...

One hundred coffees
and one hundred sushi, okay?

-Okay, sir.
-Okay

[in Korean]
Mr. Consul, let's talk.

How many people are going back today?

These two and me. Are you going back too?

I'm not going.

You're not?

Then these two and I are
the only people going back?

Okay, then three people in total.
What about the tickets?

-The plane tickets?
-Yeah.

What about the tickets?

You see, this is my first time
going back to Korea in almost 15 years.

You must have bought
first-class tickets, right?

Well, this is all government work,
so we can't do that.

So, the tickets are all economy--

What?

MOOSIK: Are you kidding me?

I'm not going then!

-What?
-MOOSIK: Come on.

You can't do that.

This is my first time
going back to Korea in 15 years!

I want you to book first-class tickets.

We can't do that, sir.

It's up to me to decide
if you can do that or not, okay?

[clicks tongue]

And you guys should fly
business class too.

You only live once, you know?

I'll pay for everything.

[smacks lips]

[sighs]

Also...

[clicks tongue]

...you should eat
when the sushi gets here.

You haven't eaten lunch yet, right?

And there's a sauna here.

Go and enjoy yourselves
at the sauna too, okay?

You don't want to go to the sauna?
You don't like it?

I'm going in first.

[door closes]

I'm going to put on the handcuffs now.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Please remember your manners.
You're on Korean territory now.

[pained grunt]

Hey, take it easy. Okay?

Hey, I even bought you lunch back there.

Settle down.
I'm going to read your warrant now.

"In accordance with Article 200
of the Criminal Procedure Act..."

Hey, be quiet.

-"We will place Cha Moosik under..."
-Okay.

Don't read it.
You're embarrassing me, you as*h*le.

You have the right to an attorney.

Let's go.

Hey, you guys, seriously.
Are you really going to do this?

Thank you.

Business class is pretty nice.

Right.
[laughs]

[breathes comfortably]

[Moosik smacks lips, inhales]

Hey.

Am I supposed to go
to the bathroom with this on?

Hey, take these off.

No.

[sighs]

You assholes.
I'll make you take these off of me.

Where are you going?

I'm going to take a dump.

Hey, I'm going with you. Damn it.

-Come out.
-[Moosik smacks lips]

MOOSIK: I'm still pooping.

Hurry up. Come out.

Hey, I can't leave until I'm done pooping.

Seriously.

I'm done pooping,
but I can't reach down there.

MOOSIK:
Oh, no. I don't think I can wipe myself.

I think you need to get in here
and wipe my a*s for me.

MOOSIK: Hey, wipe it for me.

All right. I'll take the handcuffs off,
so stop making a scene.

Really?

-DUKGU: Yes, so come out.
-[knocks]

-You should have said that earlier.
-Right...

[door slides close]

Let's go.

Where are we going? Is this the right way?

Yes. This exit is for employees only.

Hey, are there any reporters here?

-Are there?
-No.

The consul said
there shouldn't be any reporters.

-Right?
-There aren't any.

MOOSIK: You need to play fair today,
you know?

The reporters gave me such
a hard time when I was in the Philippines.

-Okay?
-Right.

We made sure...
Well, things are different in Korea.

-[camera shutters clicking]
-[reporters clamoring]

Different, my a*s.
They're exactly the same, you f*ck.

-You no-good bums.
-Let's go to the west exit!

-[camera shutters clicking]
-[reporters clamoring]

Yeah. We're leaving
through the west exit now.

Yes, everything was fine.

I'm in front of the crosswalk.

I'm right here. Yes.

DUKGU: We're back from duty.

Moosik.

Jonghyun?

[sucks teeth]

I'm the one who's in charge of you.

Really?

[sucks teeth]

Are you hungry?

I'm hungry as hell.

Let's go eat.

[laughing]

MOOSIK: This place is nice.

-You like it?
-The food is good.

[slurps, exhales]

Hey, Jonghyun.
[chomps]

Let's just have one shot of soju each.

Hey, I can't smell of booze.

It'll be just one shot.

-You know it'll be totally fine.
-No.

This sundae stew is just too good.

Damn it.
[laughs]

Darn you...

[both chuckle]

Excuse me. One bottle of soju, please.

Okay.

Seriously...

[laughs]

Hey, being in Korea is so nice.

I met you again,
and now I'm eating this sundae stew too.

-My goodness.
-Give it to me. I'll pour you one.

-Wait.
-Okay. Here.

I'll pour you one.

[soft groan]

That's good.

Pour me one too.

[inhales]

All right. I'll pour you one. Come on.

Thank you.

-Here.
-Let's drink.

I can't believe we're meeting like this.
Life is so... Damn it.

[inhales]

[smacks lips]

Damn it.

[sighs]

[exhales]

Jonghyun.

[Moosik smacks lips]

[sighs]

I'm sorry for worrying you.

You idiot, you don't ever need
to apologize to me. It's fine.

JONGHYUN: It's fine.

[smacks lips]

[slurps]

[chomping, slurping]

Hey, Jonghyun.

What?

I need to ask you for a favor.

A favor?

LAW AND ORDER FOR ALL

[door creaks closed]

[door unlocks]

[sighs]

I'll take those.

-Oh, my.
-You can give it to me.

[door rattles]

It's nice to meet you.

INMATES: It's nice to meet you too.

But why is everyone...

I mean,

do you know me?

No, but we heard
that you're a really big deal.

[awkward laughter]

INMATE 1: Oh!

The Philippines, right?

Who might you be?

The Bolton Hotel in Caliz.

The casino.

What's he...

He's in here for m*rder.

[inhales]

Let's take a seat. Let's sit.

-Okay, sure.
-Right.

[Moosik grunts]

So, did you work at a casino
in the Philippines?

You see, my friend is there too.
Do you know Seo Taeseok?

Who?

-INMATE 2: Seo Taeseok.
-No idea.

-I see.
-See? He doesn't know.

CIDG, POLICE

I can track his whereabouts,
but if I can get some support from Korea--

[in English]
Hey, Hoon. Hoon.

What's up?

We're making the arrest tomorrow
for Mr. Min's case.

[in Korean]
One moment, please.

-[in English] You found him?
-Yeah.

[in Korean]
I'll call you back, sir. Okay.

[in English]
He looks nothing like the composite.

I know.

Well.

Was there any confirmed contact
between him and Cha?

All I know is that tomorrow at his place,

patrol officers will find
a few hand grenades.

Hand grenades? What the fu...

Hey, you're just gonna let them fabricate
the whole thing like that?

Look.

You really believe this is the same guy?

Remember that new NBI team captain,
Agent Terrence?

He's gone rogue.

But if it makes you feel any better,

the guy getting arrested is a m*rder*r.

Where did you get that guy anyways?

He's Terrence's informant.

What?

[in Korean]
This is unbelievable.

[clinking]

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION TEAM 1

OFFICER 1: Mr. Cha Moosik is here.

Come in.

Mr. Park, Mr. Cha Moosik is here.

Could you bring me a chair, please?

HYUNGWOOK: The crime occurred overseas,

so your indictment
was processed automatically.

You must have a lot to say about that.

[smacks lips]

Well, I do.
But I'll just say what I need to say.

[Moosik smacks lips]

All right, what should we look at first?

Should we start with the threats,
extortion, and as*ault from 14 years ago?

Sure, let's do that.

HYUNGWOOK: On June 18th, 2001,

Happiness Convenience Store
in Galma-dong, Daejeon,

you assaulted Jin Myungkwan in a car
with your fists about a dozen times.

On July 18th, 2001,

you threatened to k*ll
all of Jin Myungkwan's family members

while on a phone call.

Do you admit to that?

Yes.

On August 1st, 2001,

do you admit to forcibly taking
Jin Myungkwan's vehicle?

I didn't forcibly take it.

I got it in place of the money he owed me.

He said that he would pay me back,
then gave it to me.

What money were you owed?

That happened because
I went to get the money that belonged

to the man I was working for back then.

And that man is Mr. Min Seokjun,
who recently passed away.

How much money were you trying
to get from him?

[smacks lips, inhales]

You see, Jin Myungkwan
owed Mr. Min 30 million won.

That's the money I was trying to get back.

[disbelieving laughter]

But he was a gangster,
so he kept holding out on me.

He didn't repay the money
for ten years, you know?

I just get mad really easily, so...

[smacks lips]

I used violence. That was indeed my fault.

[papers rustling]

But...

I'm not the one

who k*lled Mr. Min.

That's ridiculous.

I have more than enough evidence
to prove that.

I can also explain what really happened.

Sure, go ahead.

First of all,
there is someone that I suspect.

And I've already talked about this
with Inspector Oh Seunghoon

from the Korean Desk in the Philippines.

You only told him?

[sighs, clicks tongue]

Mr. Park.

[smacks lips]

I'm sorry,

but could I have a cigarette?

Thank you.

[smacks lips]

Sir,

is there any way for me
to work in the Philippines too?

Hey, just live in Korea.

[sighs]

Why would you go to the Philippines?

Living there is tough.

Besides, you're too big.
It gets really hot.

There's a lot of people
who will mess with me once I get out.

-[slurps]
-So please, is there anything you can do?

I'll do anything if I can leave Korea.

Could you take me
under your wing too, boss?

Take who under what wing? Stop it.

Just stop right there.
That's what's best for you.

If he decides to mess with you,

then you guys will be screwed too.

Consider yourselves warned.

f*ck, you old fart.

I swear I'll get you moved
to another room.

You're pissing me off.
[clicks tongue]

Please eat, sir.

No. 9388, you have a visitor.

Right, 9388. That's me!

Mindong Construction was just prosecuted

for violating
the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.

[inhales sharply]

I asked a friend
at the prosecutor's office

to let me take a look at the deposit
and withdrawal statements.

But I found something weird.

Take a look.

This right here.

JONGHYUN: He sent 20 million pesos
to a woman named Jin Younghee

in two installments,
ten million pesos each time.

That's 500 million in Korean won.

Do you know this woman?

Of course I do. She's the owner
of the pork belly restaurant.

And those dates are before
and after the day Mr. Min was k*lled.

I mean, something seems off, doesn't it?

Of course.

Jonghyun.

Thanks.

[both laugh]

Nah. Jeez.

HYUNGWOOK: Is this all real?

Yes, it is.

I don't have conclusive evidence ready,
but I can prove all of that.

So Mindong Construction's Choi Chilgu
sent the ten million pesos,

and Jin Younghee received the money.

Yeah. Jin Younghee. That's her.

[Moosik inhales]

On May 14th,
the day after Mr. Min was m*rder*d,

he sent exactly ten million pesos
to Jin Younghee.

Why didn't you tell this
to the police in the Philippines?

[inhales]
Sir,

those cops were all conspiring to k*ll me.

What was I supposed to do?
I had no choice but to escape to Korea.

[inhales]

Why is Choi Chilgu doing all this?

He's fighting to get his shares
because Mr. Min never recognized that.

And this one, the sugar cane field m*rder.

[Hyungwook inhales]

I checked the Hong Kong bank account,
and I found the money in there.

I'm going to make a request
for the return of the proceeds of crime

and give the money back to the victims.

[smacks lips]
That's your bonus.

Then...

[clears throat]

Go to the room next door
and write a letter of repentance.

[disbelieving laughter]

Come on, Mr. Park. Gosh.

Why should I write a letter of repentance?
I didn't do anything wrong.

It's just a formality.
Everybody has to write one.

No way.

Let's not do this.
It's not like I'm a little kid.

A repentance letter? Unbelievable.

All right, then.
We're done here for today.

Would you like me to call you back here?

Yeah. Let's try to do it
in the morning next time.

What would you like for lunch?

Sundae stew, of course.

Why are you so obsessed with sundae?
Aren't you sick of it by now?

What? I love that stuff.

And that place does really good takeout.

[disbelieving laughter]

The stew has a lot in it.

All right. I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay!

[inhales]

Thank you, Mr. Park.

[clears throat]

What do you have against
a repentance letter...

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

[in English] We have apprehended
the suspect who is responsible...

[in Korean]
Mr. Cho, I'll give the official letter

from the Philippines to the ambassador.

-Okay.
-[in English] A businessman named

Min Seokjun.

We were able to get
a confession from the suspect.

TERRENCE: And at the same time,

we were able to figure out
the real motive of the m*rder.

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA
IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES

[in Korean] Come in.

Sir, this came for you from the PNP.

PNP: PHILIPPINES NATIONAL POLICE

They've caught the person
who k*lled Mr. Min Seokjun.

They're going to put him
on trial as a m*rder suspect.

Is that so?

Tell Mr. Cho to come in.

Yes, sir.

[phone ringing in distance]

Come in.

Hello, sir.

They caught Mr. Min's m*rder*r.
This needs to be sent to Korean Police.

Yes, sir. I can take care of that.

After you're done,

contact the Korean Desk in Agiles
and tell them to wrap things up.

Yes, sir.

[exhales]

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT, KOREA

[smacks lips]

[exhausted sigh]

LEGAL OFFICER: You may go back in.

SILENCE

Hey, I guess
I'll be seeing you for a bit longer.

-How many did you get?
-[inmate 2 sighs]

Seven years.

Those assholes.

Boss, they need to get new judges.

I swear I'm innocent.
Damn those f*cking assholes.

-[inmate 2 groans unhappily]
-[sighs]

[door closes]

Stay healthy, sir.

Sure. Congratulations.

-Do you have an email address?
-What?

An email address.

I don't know that stuff. I don't have one.

People nowadays usually exchange emails.

Could I get your number then?

Hey.

Let's not continue our relationship
here outside of jail, okay?

This is it.

Good luck out there, okay?

Yes, sir.

The court is in recess.

It looks like you're the last one today.

Yes, sir.

-Mr. Cha.
-Yes?

Do you have any clothes?

Clothes?

I don't, but I can buy some.

Do you have a lot of stuff
at the detention center?

Oh, I can take care of that.

Am I... getting released?

We don't know that.

[cheers in a small voice]

[breathes deeply]

-JUDGE: Interestingly enough...
-[inhales loudly]

...the investigating prosecutor
filed a petition for Mr. Cha.

It's very unusual for the investigating
prosecutor to file a petition.

Furthermore, after examining
the statement that was provided by

Mr. Cha in relation to this case, as well
as the circumstances and materials,

we believe that Mr. Min Seokjun's m*rder

was not committed by Mr. Cha

but other perpetrators
who were working together.

DEFENDANT

Therefore, taking all these things
into consideration,

for Mr. Min Seokjun's m*rder,

we pronounce you not guilty.

Regarding the as*ault that was carried out

against Jin Myungkwan
by the accused Cha Moosik,

it was concluded that the as*ault

happened as a result of the plaintiff,

who was a non-paying debtor, verbally
abusing and intimidating Cha Moosik,

who had come to collect the debt repayment
as the agent of creditor Min Seokjun.

Furthermore, we have judged
that Cha Moosik took the vehicle

as repayment for the creditor
Min Seokjun's bond of 30 million won,

and that Jin Myungkwan willingly handed
the vehicle over to the agent, Cha Moosik.

Therefore,
the accusation of theft is not applicable.

However, the violence that was inflicted
on the plaintiff in that process

by the accused is not socially acceptable,
regardless of the reason.

Therefore, regarding the as*ault
against Mr. Jin, the defendant

shall be sentenced to one year in prison
with one year of probation.

[faint breathing]

PROSECUTOR

COURT OF KOREA

-HYUNGWOOK: Congratulations.
-MOOSIK: Thank you.

I'll never forget
what you've done for me, Mr. Park.

[both laugh]

I mean, I thought this would happen,

but you got out without
any additional sentences.

They usually give people 100 hours
of community service.

[smacks lips]

I just want to thank you
for everything, Mr. Park.

I was so touched when I heard
that you had written the petition for me.

I mean, it would have been done
even if I hadn't written it myself.

What are you planning on doing now?

-[breathes deeply]
-[background chatter]

I'm going to catch them.

The ones who k*lled Mr. Min.

You'll go back to the Philippines?

Of course.

[smacks lips]

But the Philippines permanently
banned you from entering.

I can go back.

It's a country where
you can make that happen.

Anyway, Mr. Park, you should come
to the Philippines sometime.

I'll properly repay my debt to you.

[laughs]

Sure.

[both laugh]

Here.

[clinks]

YOUNGHEE: I guess it's over now.

[Chilgu inhales]

Yeah.

Let's drink.

[Chilgu exhales]

[liquor pouring]

[clinks]

[short inhale]

[smacks lips]

By the way, you're looking a bit pale.

[clicks tongue]

I've been having these nightmares.

Mr. Min keeps appearing in my dreams.

[Younghee sighs]

He's lying in my bed with me as a corpse,
and his face is completely pale.

Ugh.

[laughter]

You're a lot more delicate than I thought.

What happened to the hotel?

Well...

I'm filing a lawsuit
with the other investors.

[inhales]

It'll take a while.

What about me?

[exhales sharply]
Just wait a bit longer.

Until when?

Can't you set aside a clubhouse
or something?

f*ck, I can't do that right now, okay?

Why are you cussing at me?

You made a promise,
and now you're trying to back out!

-Gosh. Seriously.
-sh*t.

Why did the phone call take you so long?

CHILGU: Damn this sh*t.

Cha Moosik...

was just released.

What?

What? Cha Moosik was released?

How?

He was acquitted for Mr. Min's m*rder,

and he was released on probation
for his former offenses.

-[surprised gasp]
-f*ck, you've got to be kidding me.

How on earth could they release him?
They caught the m*rder*r.

I don't know.

I'll go check the verdict again tomorrow.

Wait, what are we to do?

He's going to come back!

Don't worry,
there's no way he's coming back.

I permanently banned him
from entering the country.

Cha Moosik can get through something
like that, okay?

How am I not supposed to worry?

Hey, can't the embassy do something?

You need to do something
about this right now!

What else am I supposed to do?

I banned him from entering the country.
What, what else am I supposed to do?

[worried breathing]

He might have figured us out already.

He might know everything already.
What do we do?

f*ck! You need to make sure
he can't come back into this country!

[tense music]

[Seunghoon sighs]

I told you from the very beginning
that this lawsuit was a bit of a stretch.

I mean, there's no evidence to begin with.

Then why did they do that?

SEUNGHOON: What do you mean, why?

The actual perpetrators were trying
to frame Cha Moosik as the m*rder*r.

So do you have a suspect in mind?

[smacks lips, inhales]

[sighs]

There are two people right now.

Can you handle this alone?

"Can I handle this alone?"
I just have to do it.

But the embassy keeps pressuring me
to close the case.

SHIM: Hey, stop fussing over it.
Just do whatever you can.

It's okay even if you don't report it
to the embassy.

Take care of yourself.

[scoffs]

All right. Thank you.

[phone thuds]

[annoyed breath]

[clatters]

[deep sigh]

[cutlery clattering]

SANGCHUL: Have some coffee, sir.

Gosh, seriously...

THE NEXT PRESIDENT MARTIN DE DIOS
DECLARES w*r AGAINST CRIME

...Taeseok, that son of a b*tch.

He was a real lunatic.

How could he do that to you?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have asked you for that favor.

It's fine.

[smacks lips]

[sighs]
Anyway...

this new president
is going to be pretty annoying.

How are things with Mindong Construction?

Right, Mindong Construction.
So I looked into them.

I think the money that they sent
to the Philippines became problematic.

I approached some of the executives
and got them to talk.

Apparently,
the company sent over ten billion won,

but none of them knew
how the money was spent.

And the CEO managed all of that money.

They said that
it was probably a slush fund.

[sighs]

[phone buzzing]

[in English]
Hey, John. Hello?

You're all over the papers, bro.

Like a f*cking star.

[John laughs]

JOHN: They're saying you're trying
to launder campaign funds

for the Korean general election
in the Phillippines.

And you need to be stopped.

JOHN: sh*t.

What? Who's doing that?

JOHN: I don't know. I'll find out.

Let me send you a photo.

JOHN: But once you land here,

all eyes will be on you, brother.

Regardless of whether it's true or not.

If I go back, is there anyone who

might get hurt?

Not sure.

Okay, thanks.

[Sangchul groans]

[in Korean]
You're English is so good.

[laughs]

Damn it, those assholes are trying
to stop me from entering the country.

Who?

JUSTICE SECRETARY [in English]:
Additionally, Mr. Cha,

who was deported last year,

has made an official request
to re-enter the country.

The Korean court found him
not guilty, of course,

but we need consent from
all other departments

present here to lift the ban.

Any thoughts?

If he's not guilty,
his ban should be lifted.

The media framed an innocent man
as a m*rder*r.

SECRETARY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
This could become a diplomatic issue.

I think the arrest and deportation
was excessive to begin with.

It was our fault not to try him here.

But allowing him back
because he's found not guilty in Korea

might seem discriminatory to some.

SECRETARY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
We're all at fault here.

I say, we should let him back in.

To lift the ban, we also need the go-ahead
from the previous government.

And we can all agree
that it's not a simple task.

That, I can handle.

And I'll report it
to the president as well.

So, let's find a way to make this happen.

Well, the public sentiment
is still against him.

If we let him in,

we're giving the press
another reason to vilify us.

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

[clicks tongue]

But I'm thinking of...

So, the press needs to be silenced?

Tell the head of the Journalists'
Association to come in.

I'll see him personally.

[horn honks]

JUNGGU [in Korean]: So they installed
six security cameras,

a two-terabyte hard drive,
one computer monitor,

and one recording device.
That was 43 thousand pesos.

-It must have cost around a million won.
-Yeah.

Oh, right.

They're also supplying us
about a hundred dash cams for cars.

So let me know if anybody wants one.

I'm sure everybody will be super happy.

-Thanks.
-It's not like I paid for it.

It'd be great
if you could give me one too.

Mr. Lee, I'll give you two.

[both laugh]

Well, I think they're almost done,
so I'll get going now.

-I have some other places to be.
-Okay, sure.

Thanks again.

[chuckles]

Mr. Lee.

-Yeah, what?
-By any chance,

if you ever hear anything about Mr. Cha,
no matter how minor, please let me know.

I heard he got acquitted in Korea,

and he's trying
to return to the Philippines.

He left for Korea in such a hurry,
so it's not a surprise.

I think he pulled some strings
with his trial in Korea too.

He probably did what he does best.

I guess we'll find out when he comes back.

Inspector Oh,

you really have a lot of interest in him.

[sighs]

[smacks lips]

I've got to get going now.
Please let me know if anything comes up.

-[smacks lips]
-Sure. All right.

Ten million pesos?

JUNGPAL: That's right, boss.

I reached out to most of your contacts,
but they all ignored me.

The money I scraped up
from Cebu and Manila

was exactly ten million.

So not a single soul in Caliz paid up?

JUNGPAL: Yeah.

They all turned their backs on me
because they heard the rumor

that you weren't coming back.

At least Sungil paid eight million pesos.

And the rest paid two million in total?

Yeah.

[sighs]

[disbelieving laughter]

[inhales]

Those b*stards. They think
I've played all my cards now, don't they?

[sighs]

Where are you right now?

Oh, yeah, boss.

[coughing]

MOOSIK: Did the door open?

Yeah, I'm in.

Just what is this place?

MOOSIK: Go down the stairs,
and you'll find a safe there.

-A small safe.
-Where?

Down the stairs and to your right.

To the right?

Yeah, I see the safe.

MOOSIK: You brought the key, right?
Put the key in and turn it twice.

[keys clink]

[grunts]
Turn it twice.

MOOSIK: The passcode is 7421.

Seven, four, two...

Take out 50 million pesos

and give them the money in person.
I'll give you their numbers.

All right.

[Jungpal snorts]

[disbelieving laughter]

sh*t...

[clinks]

[exclaims]

f*ck...

[ominous music]

[water plops]

[clanking]

[playful music]

MOOSIK: So, I took out 50 million pesos
from the safe

and paid off reporters of 17 newspapers
and broadcasting stations.

In return, they agreed
not to publish anything about me

returning to the Philippines
for the next five years.

Coming back after a year,
I had a mixture of feelings.

What should I say...

it was like the calm before a storm.
It made my fingertips tingle.

As soon as I came back,
I got my old phone number back

and sent out texts to the assholes
who screwed me over.

[indistinct chatter]

Hmm.

[phone buzzes]

CHA MOOSIK

WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M IN MANILA RIGHT NOW...

[light music]

REPUBLIC OF KOREA
REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES

[Korean ambassador sighs]

[phone ringing in distance]

Do you know a bar called Sunshine?

Sunshine?

[sniffs]

Sunshine? I'm not sure.

You really don't know?

No, sir.

[awkward laugh]
Why are you asking?

It's a karaoke in Manila
that's owned by a Korean.

There are several rooms.

You really don't know?

Right.

I think I've been there
a couple times in the past.

I'm not sure why you're asking...

Mr. Cho, you took bribes from there,
didn't you?

[in surprise]
Me, bribes?

No, sir. I've never taken any bribes.

[thuds]

A petition was submitted
to the Blue House.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered
you to return to Korea immediately.

Me?

KOREAN AMBASSADOR:
There's even recorded evidence.

What on earth have you been doing?

You're making me look bad.

[Korean ambassador sighs]

Unbelievable.

[sighs]

[phone buzzing]

[buzzing continues]

-Hey.
-CHILGU: It's me.

Cha Moosik is back in Manila.

CHILGU: Didn't he text you?

WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M IN MANILA RIGHT NOW...

I got it too.

How did he come back?

f*ck! Who cares about how he came back?

CHILGU: Well, he's back.

I'm going right back to Korea.

Why?

CHILGU: What the hell do you mean, why?

Hey. He texted us, which means
he's going to get revenge.

I'm leaving. Who knows what'll
happen to me if I stay here?

sh*t, I can't believe this.

Anyway, I'm going to the airport.

Don't call me for the time being.

Chilgu, hold on...

What about my hotel shares?

f*cking hell, I can't believe you.

CHILGU: This isn't the time
to be talking about shares!

We can talk later. I'm hanging up!

[smacks lips]

[sighs]

[phone buzzing]

-[buzzing continues]
-What the hell is it now?

YOONGI [in English]: Hello.

I'm heading back to LA.
Gonna lay low for a while.

Why?

Why? Why?

Mr. Cha, that's why.

He called me saying
he'll make me pay for what I did.

Jesus Christ, can't believe my
f*cking number got leaked!

Mr. Cha called you?

BRIAN: Yes. You said
it was nothing serious.

I lost everything including
my teaching job because of you.

You know what?

Just wire me my f*cking money
and never call me again, okay?

Jackass.

[annoyed sigh]

-[loud thump]
-[surprised gasp]

[huffing angrily]

[tense music]

[in Korean] Hey, Jungpal. It's me.

Boss, are you in the Philippines?

MOOSIK: Yeah. Manila.

How did you get back in?

What do you mean, how?
I can do whatever I want,

don't you know that?

How's the casino doing?

[gulps]

[smacks lips]
Well, it's doing well.

Yeah?

[short inhale]

Hey, I'm planning on staying at Sungil's
for a couple of days.

Let's meet up later and talk.

JUNGPAL: Whatever then.

[smacks lips]

This kid's acting weird.

What is it?

[inhales sharply]

It's the way he talked.
He didn't sound happy about me being back.

Oh, really?

MIJA: Jungpal?

Yeah.

Do you know anything?

MOOSIK: Do you know something about this?

Maybe something bad happened, that's all.

[inhales sharply]
Moosik.

I got a call today saying
that the petition about Cho was processed.

Is that so?

The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs
personally gave me a call.

Those f*ck sure work fast.

[Mija laughs]

It took a year. A whole year.

-[mumbles]
-Yeah.

Here, have a drink.

Sungil, let's drink.

Yeah. You did well.

MOOSIK: Here it is.

[in English]
Stop, stop, stop, stop. Zoom in.

-Zoom. Zoom in. Zoom in.
-Okay.

-More, more, more, more. More, more.
-Okay, sir.

[coughs]
Stop. Okay.

Who is he?

He's the head
of the investigation squad, sir.

What's his name?

Terrence Manos, sir.

Terrence Manos.

[in Korean]
Terrence Manos, that son of a b*tch.

[in English]
Fire.

-Fire him.
-What?

He framed an innocent man.

Fire!

[sighs deeply]

You understand?

[sighs]

[in Korean] Hey, Moosik. How did it go?

[sighs]

I looked at the security camera footage
and found the assholes who arrested me

and put me at that press conference,
then I told them to fire them all.

Wow, you're really something else.

Gosh. I feel so much better now.

-Those f*cking assholes.
-[laughs]

Sungil, let's go eat.

Yeah, let's eat.

[male employee singing in English]

[continues singing in English]

[in English]
Oh, here he comes.

Hello, Mr. Cha! I thought you were gone!

-Hey. Good to see you, brother.
-It's nice to see you.

[engine idling]

[coin clinks]

[engine revving]

[upbeat music]

[elevator bell dings]

[upbeat music]

Good afternoon, Mr. Cha. Long time no see.

Good to see you again.

Welcome.

[sighs emotionally]

[indistinct chatter]

[in Korean] Oh.

MOOSIK: Jungpal.

Oh.

Boss.

Hey.

Jungpal!

-JUNGPAL: Hey.
-[laughs]

How have you been?

Things are running pretty
decently around here.

What's up with you?

MOOSIK: Did something happen?

No, nothing's wrong.
I'm doing just the same.

[awkward laugh]

I feel like you're hiding something.

Well, things have changed a bit.

What's changed?

Just, the atmosphere now
and from when you were around.

Moosik, this is a friend of mine.

I'm going to have a talk with him.

Right. Hey, come on.

[indistinct chatter]

-Who was that? What?
-Cha Moosik.

Hey, why didn't you introduce me?

It's fine. You don't need to.

What are you talking about?

I'm here because
everybody told me to go find Moosik.

I made a really good connection,
so you can just meet with him.

Who?

[sighs]

A lion has entered the tiger's den.

So who's the damn lion?

You'll be shocked.
You see, he's super famous.

-Damn it, so... Who is it?
-Hey.

It's Yang Sangsoo.

Yang Sangsoo?

Yang Sangsoo is here?

Yeah. The legendary Yang Sangsoo
of the Gordon Hotel.

He's basically my best friend.

Seriously?
Can you introduce me to him then?

Why do you want to see him?

Well, he must be a pretty powerful man.

I'm going to ask him
to take me under his wing.

What are you talking about?
That was such a long time ago.

SANGGU [surprised breath]: sh*t.

No, I'm just helping Moosik out
while I'm here.

Yeah.

I'm going to open one soon. Yeah.

Yeah. Make sure to gather everybody
you know who likes to gamble.

Yeah, next month. Next month. Right.

Yeah.

SANGGU: Boss!

Hey.

[soft laugh]
It's been a while, Sanggu.

I'm glad you're back.

How are you doing?

Just the same as always.

[inhales deeply]

Hey, why is this place so empty?

[inhales sharply]

Well, yeah.
It's like that now because of MERS.

We don't have a lot of guests,
and a lot of the agents have left too.

Then you should have gotten some new ones.

You see, it's just hard to find
more people right now.

They usually leave after two months.

By the way,

what's up with Jungpal?
And who's the guy that's with him?

Ah...

He's from Korea.

[inhales sharply]

[smacks lips]

He's on the run.
Jungpal has been taking care of him.

Is he a gangster?

He's not a gangster.

He used to do some sports gambling,

and now Interpol
is looking for him for fraud.

[breathes lightly]

SANGGU [smacks lips]: Moosik.

While you were in Seoul,

there were some gaps here and there
because Jungpal was busy

with his own business,

but I've been doing my best
to fill them in.

-Look at you.
-[both laugh]

[sighs]
Hey, anyway...

call all the agents.

Tell them I'll treat them to a meal.

All of them?

All of them.

POLICE

[phone buzzing]

[buzzing continues]

Yes, hello.

-SHIM: Mr. Oh.
-Yeah.

I picked your successor today.

Really? Who is it?

There are two final candidates.
You can choose from one of them.

SEUNGHOON: Hmm.

I think we should just pick the person
who has more experience in investigating.

I guess that'll be best.

SEUNGHOON: Yeah, all right.

I almost forgot!

Remember when I asked you
about the paperwork that was submitted

to the court when Cha Moosik
was acquitted?

I asked you to get that for me.
How's that going?

SHIM: The records on Cha Moosik?

Yeah.

SHIM: I put in a request
to the investigation department already.

They said they'll send it to you,
so just be patient.

Hmm. It'd be great
if you could speed that up.

SHIM: All right, man.

Yeah. Thank you.

[phone thuds]

[phone buzzing]

YANG SANGSOO

One second.

-[inhales]
-[phone buzzing]

This is a surprise.

Hello. What's the occasion?

SANGSOO: Hey, Sungil.

You remember Cha Moosik?
He used to live in Caliz.

Moosik? He's a close friend of mine.

Really?

Bring him to me.

He needs a good beating.

[mumbles]

What?

That as*h*le needs a good beating.

I want you to get him and bring him to me.

Sir, that's...

[inhales sharply]

Did he do something wrong?

SANGSOO: Look, punk.

Just do as I say.
Why are you running your mouth?

You have until tomorrow evening.

Grab him and bring him
right to me, all right?

[coin clinks]
