SAMDEOK PRAYER HOUSE
Satan is...
Not far, but always nearby.
He will sweet talk you
into the eternal abyss of evil!
Always beware.
See that Detective Chun?
The Devil is close by,
always out to get you.
The Day of Judgment is near.
This is insane.
l run this place on small subsidies
and offerings from our sisters.
But since he came here,
the well's run dry.
Be frank.
You mean he's raking in
all the cash, right?
Nothing gets by you, Detective.
Want me to throw him in jail?
For life!
Who am l to forgive?
We can all attain forgiveness.
Goodness consoles us in pain.
The pharmacist in town's
looking to sell his land.
How's $3 per square meter?
Bring it down to $2.
Believe in your goodness.
Remember everyone.
Your faith starts right here.
You bastard!
Sweet talking 'em!
Then racking up all their money!
Shit.
KlM So-chul, $550.
HAN Man-ok, $700.
LEE Nan-jung, $460.
KlM Gan-nan, $320.
KlM Mak-nae, $280.
CHUN Soo-man, $240.
GO Deok-soo, $460.
They asked me to buy land with that
to build a place to live.
They said you took the money!
They didn't give it to you!
The director must've forced them.
Ask my brothers and sisters.
They all signed
an agreement with the director.
Every one of
their signatures is there!
Give it up and return the money.
Let us pray.
That stubborn bastard.
Did he make a lot?
Don't think so.
He came back from Vietnam.
Heard he killed someone there
during the war.
After that he just stayed
Made better money.
He's married
and has a son, too.
Why'd he come here?
Says he wants to repent
for his sins in Vietnam.
He started eating
only natural food.
Then he went into isolation
and didn't budge for weeks.
Says he read the Bible 50 times.
Why are they following
that man around?
Thought l was good with people...
But RYU is really something.
The way he looks at
the people who've sinned...
lt's so peaceful and comforting.
Man, you fell for it, too?
Hell no! But almost.
l realized it's the Devil's doing.
A petty thief steals meaningless things,
but the Devil takes the heart.
So they started handing over
money, land, everything!
To him!
Really?
He won't last long in there.
Detective CHUN asks
if you wanna talk, now.
You don't?
Son of a bitch!
Stop! Wait!
ls he dead?
He's not moving.
Welcome.
Ah, thank you.
Keeping that bastard in check?
Yes, but there's a problem.
Why aren't you doing as l ordered?
Didn't you hear?
l sent three tons of rice
to your father! Fool!
l know.
Take 'em back, sir.
Just don't make me do this.
Please, sir.
Drop it, sir.
l can't do it.
Anyone who hurts Mr. RYU
is sure to go to hell.
Are you crazy!
What's so special about him!
A petty thief steals things,
but the Devil takes the heart.
How the hell does he steal
people's hearts?
You're really something.
A master at winning people over.
The director will surely be judged.
You're planning something,
aren't you?
Of course not.
Everything is be judged.
lf anything happens to him...
You'll die in there.
Shouldn't you worry about
saving yourself first?
Fear will save you.
l'll rip that mouth off!
How did you convince the fools
in here they'll be saved?
l didn't save or help anyone.
They realized that on their own.
One question.
Judgment, you say?
You're talking the bastards
into helping you get revenge, right?
Am l on your hit list, too?
Tell me.
Just curious, that's all.
May l ask you for a favor?
The hell! l'll shoot you!
Do l look like one of your henchman!
Son of a bitch.
So, what's the favor?
Young-ji?
She's probably in the park.
Are you Young-ji?
Young-ji?
Yes.
Can l borrow your Bible
to look up something?
Page 1 15.
Exodus Chapter 21 , verses 24 and 25.
Exodus... Oh, here it is!
Chapter 21 ...
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot.
The Bible's a killer!
That's justice!
What's this?
PARK Chil-gu, RYU Jung-dae,
NA Pan-su, AHN Tae-jun
PARK Chil-gu, RYU Jung-dae,
NA Pan-su, AHN Tae-jun
PARK Chil-gu, RYU Jung-dae...
They're the bastards?
They raped Young-ji, got her pregnant,
then chased her out of town.
What do l do with them?
Teach them a lesson.
Please! No!
We're sorry!
Don't be.
Men can do that.
Please! No!
You threw a newborn baby
in this river so this'll do.
- Rip their balls off!
- Sure thing.
You bastards!
Bastards.
Bastards.
Please! No!
The hell?
l am a henchman. Shit.
That won't do anything
to their balls!
You didn't even touch it?
lt's made especially for you.
A heavy body clouds the mind.
Then, you succumb to sin.
You really are something.
Thank you for doing the favor.
Forget it.
l thought you were just
a con-man at first.
You're no god.
l thought you tricked folks
out of their money.
But l was wrong.
Your methods may be different,
but you have a sense ofjustice.
l've been a detective for 20 years.
l've caught and locked up
all kinds of criminals.
But some bastards never change.
They get out, sin again,
then l throw 'em back in.
Shit!
l'm sick of it!
Mr. RYU?
Let's get you out of here.
How about us taking 'em...
The bastards with nowhere to go,
and living with 'em?
The salvation you talk about...
lsn't it something like this?
With you there,
l think l can do it.
People who want to be born again...
Are there really people
who want to be born again?
Of course.
MOSS
Sir!
ls he dead?
Looks like it.
Flip his eyelids.
He's dead for sure.
Hello?
Hello, Prosecutor PARK Min-uk.
Who's this?
Oh, RYU Hae-guk!
l heard you got transferred.
All thanks to you,
l'm working out in the country.
Sorry to hear that.
l hear there's no glory
for you either, Mr. RYU.
You lost your job and split
with your wife.
Sorry to hear that.
Still keeping tabs on me?
Remember, if you do anything wrong,
l'll always find out.
Why'd you call?
Let me ask you something.
How humble of you.
Go ahead.
Tell me one thing.
Son of a bitch.
Tell me honestly. You know
l didn't do anything wrong!
You know what moss is?
Live quietly like the moss
stuck on a rock.
Leave your cell phone on and
know that l'm always watching you.
And make a mistake.
The sooner the better.
You really are hopeless.
Hello? Hello?
Hey!
Since when did l become
the offender?
Then why didn't you settle
when l told you?
l had to work this past holiday
cuz of you!
Your face says you're an offender!
Especially those eyebrows!
No need to investigate you!
Sorry, Mr. Prosecutor.
Let's see who's
the real offender now.
Wait!
l can easily make you
the perpetrator.
- Why?
- So let's just settle.
Why should l settle
when l didn't do anything wrong?
The law is not always fair.
Your face tells me
you're an offender!
Especially those eyebrows!
No need to investigate you!
Think of it as going
on vacation to a nice, quiet place.
Mr. RYU's son is coming.
- Son?
- He had a son?
Hello.
What?
His son.
His son's here?
How did he know?
Welcome.
- l'm the village chief.
- l see.
Nice to meet you.
l'm RYU Hae-guk.
Go on in.
Yes, sir.
Looks just like his dad.
Ah, no.
Completely different.
Shouldn't you check and see?
Right...
His son's here.
Carry on with the funeral.
Hello. Enjoy the food.
What's this?
How can you just die like this?
l'm not even sad for you.
l just finished my duty.
So, don't resent me.
Even l didn't resent you.
Come here.
Yes, sir.
Have a seat, here.
You should eat something.
Here, have a drink.
l don't drink, sir.
Mr. RYU couldn't drink either.
You can't drink
or don't want a glass from me?
l'll take it, sir.
Good.
lf a man offers you a drink,
you take it.
Pour me a drink, Seoul man.
Sure.
A special drink poured
by a man from Seoul! Me, too?
Sure.
Would you like a drink, Chief?
Sure.
Heading back
right after the burial?
Of course.
What's here for him to do?
They don't mourn for years
at the grave like in the past.
Of course not.
Seoul folks will be too bored
to last a day here.
lt's not so bad here.
Ah, Seoul's better.
Of course.
Drink up.
Here's to Mr. RYU
going to a better place.
And to his son's success
in Seoul.
Thank you.
You saw to everything, Chief.
Not much for us to do.
- Go home safely.
- Take care, sir.
Go on.
Wait! Excuse me!
Ah...
Aren't you going to verify
his death?
lt's already done.
By who?
The Chief.
Without a doctor's examination?
The Chief got that
by phone this afternoon.
By phone?
The procedures are pretty easy
for deaths due to old age.
But shouldn't you at least
see to basic procedures?
Dr. KlM?
Can you come by tomorrow?
Come and write up
a death certificate.
A man died.
We should do what we can.
See to procedures.
Right. Bye.
Happy?
Ah, yes.
Looks normal.
- Everything ready for the burial?
- Yes. We can just go up.
When are you going back to Seoul?
Why do you ask?
Just wondering.
l'll write up the death certificate.
Pick it up later.
Yes, sir.
What is the cause of death?
Why did he die?
Why?
You think someone killed him?
Why do you ask that?
lsn't it normal for me to ask
if he was sick or something?
Oh, come on!
Stop asking
so many questions!
What are you a detective!
Wanna cut him up?
And do an autopsy?
Come on. Stop it.
There's no reason for his death.
You can check if you want.
Just my opinion.
Good job.
Thank you, Chief.
When's the last time you saw him?
You acting up cuz you have a clue
as to how he lived?
You're making everyone feel
like they sinned.
What good does it do
to try and be a good son now?
Right.
What good now.
Mr. RYU! No!
Stomp it down hard.
Says he needs
a place to stay.
Temporarily?
Just until he organizes
Mr. RYU's belongings.
Then he says he'll leave?
Not sure.
What if he doesn't leave?
Hae-guk can't stay here, right?
Can anyone live here?
Of course not.
We should send him back.
Tell the store
to give him a room.
The store?
- The food's good there.
- Thank you.
Are you going back
after organizing his things?
Why does it matter to you
where l go?
lt's just people are uncomfortable
with a city folk hanging around.
l'll lay low.
Don't worry.
Even if a dog comes in,
it makes a difference!
Not that l'm calling you a dog.
Hey, l haven't seen a dog
around here for a while.
Hello?
Anybody home?
l'm sorry.
l didn't mean to startle you.
Will you be using this room?
Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
So handsome.
Pardon?
Kidding.
Have a good rest.
SlTE CANNOT BE SHOWN
Damn, there's no lnternet.
Then l'm not paying rent.
Young-ji? lt's me.
l'm starving.
Sleep tight.
Damn dog makes
a big difference. Shit.
All done. Here you are.
RYU Mok-hyeong

Owned by RYU Mok-hyeong
Changes in registration
Majeri 442-1
Sold by RYU Mok-hyeong
Majeri 442-1
Bought by CHUN Yong-duk
Dang, son!
Don't buy this!
lt's all in the village warehouse.
Worried l won't leave
till l use this all up?
This is good.
lt's not at the warehouse.
- Take Visa?
- Of course.
Sir?
Mr. RYU's son was just here.
Really? What did he try to buy?
This and that.
l only let him take a sensor light.
ls he trying to settle down here?
Good work.
Try again!
Shared land ownership
Can you find out
what he's searching?
Of course.
That's pretty easy, sir.
Copy everything he searched
after he leaves.
Leave a record of the history.
Yes, sir. l will.
What?
He erased all
his lnternet search files?
Pretty cautious kid.
Take out the hard drive
and give it Officer CHUN.
He'll find a way to check.
Wow! What a feast!
What's taking him?
There he comes!
Come here! Hurry!
Yes, sir.
Have a seat, sir.
lt's a farewell dinner
after all your troubles here.
Have a seat.
Looks like Young-ji's the saddest
to see him go.
Don't eat too much, sirs.
Aw, come on!
- Eat lots, handsome.
- Thank you.
But l'm not leaving.
l'm not going to Seoul.
Look Seoul man.
City folks can't live
in a place like this.
People have roots
in different places.
You can't just move your roots.
Just go back home!
Mr. RYU lived here,
but this isn't your hometown.
ls there a reason why
l can't stay here?
What will you do for a living?
l'll live at my father's house
and farm or something.
You think farming's a joke?
This ain't a place
for just any old bum!
Don't even think about coming
to your dad's memorial next year!
Well, maybe on Thanksgiving...
Live here then.
lt's nice and quiet.
You'll get used to the place.
Right!
Anyone can farm if they want.
We got good machines.
Let's eat up!
Yes, sir.
Fresh air and everything.
l've been starving all day.
Bastard RYU
l told you not to call me.
l'm hanging up.
Wait!
Please, hear me out!
Something's fishy
about my father's estate.
Shouldn't a prosecutor
ask what's fishy?
Let's say l did.
My dad owned a great deal of land.
Congratulations!
Never would've guessed.
But all the land was
registered at once.
If he sold it,
the money should be in his account.
But there's not a dime left
in his account.
So?
What's strange about that?
An old man can easily
lose his entire estate.
Gambling. Women. Both.
Or he stood surety for someone.
Or he stood surety for
a gambling woman!
You son of a...
Guess you've matured.
Not cursing...
Listen.
All the land's been
transferred to one man.
His name's CHUN Yong-duk.
He's the influential Chief in town.
Smell anything?
Like what?
CHUN Yong-duk.
Lives in Minsung.
Age, over 70.
Please investigate this.
What!
You crazy?
Why would l help you?
Are you shameless or
just plain stupid?
l'm a pretty busy man, you know.
Can't you investigate that much
on a tip-off from a citizen?
On a tip-off from you?
lnvestigate?
Think you're a detective?
Prosecutors are so busy
we don't even drink water at lunch.
Because we don't have time
to go to the bathroom.
So stop calling me, you bastard!
Hello? Hello?
Damn it!
Hello?
CHUN Yong-duk. Lives in Minsung.
Over 70 years old.
Hello?
You hung up, right?
You son of a...
Hurry up!
Or you won't get lunch!
Hurry up! Hurry!
What the.
Why are you moving things out?
lt's crowded in here
with useless things.
What's that?
A sensor light.
lt's dark and dangerous
here at nights.
The Chief says to stop by.
Where's his place?
Shit! You don't even know
where the town's Chief lives?
And terrible manners!
Not looking at me when l'm talking.
Chief?
What a great view.
We built everything here in town.
Probably thought we were all
out to get you at first.
We're uncomfortable with
city folks around here.
l understand.
You'll get to know the town folks.
First, you can start with me.
l'm the beginning and the end here.
l see. Thank you, sir.
Finished moving things out?
No, l still have
a long a way to go.
l found a bunch of account books
in storage under the room.
There are many dates and numbers
that l can't make out.
l'll have to look 'em over closely
after cleaning up.
Good.
lf Dad had any debts,
l'll ask you for help, Chief.
Sure thing. Any time.
- Drink up.
- Yes, sir.
l'll be going then.
Sleeping at the store tonight?
Yes, for a couple more days.
Go on.
Bye.
ls Hae-guk in his room?
Come out for a drink!
Must be sleeping early.
l haven't seen him all day.
Must be tired.
His dad dies, then he goes around
hoping to get something.
But he never showed
when Mr. RYU was alive!
That money hogging bastard!
Like father like son.
Wish he acted more like Mr. RYU.
That's insane!
lt'll be disaster
if he ever starts acting like Mr. RYU.
Conscience bothering you?
Of course not!
Young-ji!
Hey! Get off me!
A heavy body clouds the mind.
Then you succumb to sin.
You crazy!
Poor Mr. RYU!
His funeral felt so empty
and lonely.
- Have a drink.
- Sure.
Sleeping at the store tonight, too?
What are you doing here!
Ah, the Chief suddenly called
me so l went!
He yelled at me for
being careless and...
Ah, No! That's not it.
He said to move
the things out here.
l'll move 'em inside for ya.
That's why l came.
Honest!
What are you staring at?
See? l have the rope right here.
To tie 'em up.
This rope's too short.
l'd better go home and get more.
Go back to sleep.
Sorry to wake you.
Chief! No need for you
to come all the way.
Damn rain!
- Officer CHUN doing good?
- Yes, sir.
- He gave you this?
- Yes, sir.
lnheritance... Claim your estate...
Co-ownership?
And he also visited
the registry office a lot.
l'd search through everything, too.
lf he's cautious.
This last page is on
Hae-guk's emails.
His lD is RYUHG80...
He's divorced.
Looks like he lost everything
to his wife but his balls.
That explains it.
There's a reason why
he's not going back.
The fool dented
a prosecutor's career?
Prosecutor PARK Min-uk.
Take turns confessing
what you were charged with.
Since you can't write,
record it on tape, Sung-kyu.
And you write yours, Seok-man.
Name, HA Sung-kyu. Age 35.
l was born in Kyung-buk.
l ran a bar on Walsan lsland.
- Fire!
- Help! Fire!
Fire! Fire!
Shit!
You started a fire!
Think you can make it out alive?
How? Swim your way out?
Shit.
lt's all over now.
Today's your funeral.
You burned 8 people to death?
How do you sleep at night?
Damn money!
How can you eat
after making money like that?
Huh!
Using other people
and selling their bodies!
Think your body will be safe!
You fool!
Sung-kyu.
Sung-kyu!
Sung-kyu.
Sung-kyu!
Sung-kyu!
Sung-kyu!
Sung-kyu!
What's got into Detective CHUN?
He's killing him!
You bastard!
Stop lying!
You son of a bitch!
Wait! Please!
l'll tell you the truth.
Say it!
He stole all the money
l'd been saving for 15 years.
When l asked around
and finally found him...
He laughed and said
he spent it all.
There's not a dime left!
So you shot him?
Four times?
He threatened me with a knife
for more money.
Said he'll kill me!
l still don't think
l did anything wrong.
That bastard deserved to die.
lf what you say is true...
You did good.
What are you thinking? Fool!
Wanna come with me?
l kinda am.
Prison is for those
who didn't get to meet me.
True rehabilitation...
Can't be done in prison.
l got a good feeling about you.
lf you come with me, you'll have to
get rid of that nasty temper.
Or hide it.
lt's the only way you'll live.
All l did was kill a wild beast.
l must've lost it then.
He was definitely a bear.
That's why l shot him 4 times.
How could l shoot a person
that many times...
That's it!
Just like that!
Look like you're really sorry.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
You're good.
You'll get 2 to 3 years tops.
Think you can forget everything
and start over with a clean slate?
Yes, sir.
Now that you know each other's secrets,
watch out for each other.
Do as we say like a good boy.
And don't even look at things
you know you should stay away from.
Got it?
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
When the time comes,
l'll divide up everything with you.
l'll introduce you to someone.
Mr. RYU Mok-hyeong?
Greet him.
You and l are the same,
but Mr. RYU is different.
He's a teacher...
A master,
and the heart of the village.
Treat him with more respect
than any mayor.
l hope to learn how to write
from you Mr. RYU.
Let's start over anew.
Report on CHUN Yong-duk
How much in total?
Over $23 million, sir.
How did he make
that much as a cop?
Did he inherit it?
The land went up in price,
but he was rich as a cop, too.
When RYU transferred the land
it was worth only $200,000...
That was a lot of money back then.
Right, sir.
Anyway, soon after it skyrocketed,
and they both paid their taxes.
Really...
- Take care.
- Goodbye.
Good work.
Eat up all the stores here.
- Thank you, sir.
- Eat up.
Hello, sir.
- Good work, Mr. KlM.
- Thank you.
- See ya.
- Take care, sir.
He's coming!
Welcome, sir!
- Everything going well?
- Of course, sir!
Ms. KlM? Coffee!
- Hello, sir.
- Hi.
- Hey, fool.
- Yes?
Why so happy?
This thing's pretty powerful.
Closed for personal reasons
He thinks business is a joke?
Looks like Baldy's got some nerve.
lsn't Seok-man older than you?
Yes, but we're all growing old.
That's strange.
- Let's check his house.
- Yes, sir.
Get out.
l found this tunnel
at Dad's place.
So l can live.
Get out!
lt's connected to this house.
Can you explain why?
Sorry to come in
without permission.
But how can l not come
in a situation like this?
Get out!
l...
Could kill you.
W...What?
What are you doing!
You think we're strange?
What do you mean?
You're suspicious of everyone here
over your father's death?
What exactly do you think
your father was?
lf he lived with us...
What do you think he was?
l'm sick of everything.
Disappear, will ya?
You people killed him, didn't you!
What was he here?
Go ask him yourself.
Looks like he's not home.
No shoes, either.
Seok-man!
Where's he going?
Seok-man!
l'm beat.
Stop, you fool!
Call him again.
Why are you trying to kill me?
Ask your father that, too.
Shit.
Must be around Stone Rock.
lf the Chief is the beginning
and the end of this town...
There must be someone
who made him possible.
Go meet him and ask.
lt's amusing.
No! Not this way!
Hey!
Hey!
Seok-man!
Shit!
Seok-man!
Seok-man!
Where is he!
Damn it!
He's not here, sir.
- His phone rang from here, right?
- Yes.
Shit! Where's he hiding?
Oh shit! Look!
Seok-man! Seok-man!
Seok-man!
Oh no!
Seok-man!
Oh no! What do we do!
Oh no!
Shut up!
How'd he end up like that?
Oh God... What do we do?
What's the matter?
l heard someone screaming
on my stroll...
What a rough trail.
What did you just say?
A stroll?
Yes.
ls something down there?
l think Seok-man
fell down there dead!
What?
Why?
Why'd he come up here
during work?
l don't know!
We're wondering that ourselves.
Why'd he come up here
in broad daylight and drop dead?
He never leaves the store
during the day.
Why did he come here?
Probably didn't come alone.
Or did he?
No way.
Why would he come here alone?
Are you saying someone killed him?
l'd, ah, better get going.
l'm coming down with a cold.
What the hell!
A man's dead and he's worried
about a cold!
- Call Officer CHUN.
- Yes, sir.
The Sam-deok Prayer House case.
The director killed 27 members,
then committed suicide.
Someone was at the scene
before the cops got there.
lt was detective CHUN Yong-duk.
Nice!
The Holy Bible
Samdeok Prayer House
Eye for an eye...
CHUN Yong-duk
What now!
Please don't hang up.
Listen to me.
l almost got killed.
Almost?
One of the town folks
tried to kill me.
He fell off a cliff
during our fight.
ls he almost dead?
Completely dead.
Did you look into
CHUN Yong-duk?
CHUN who?
Never heard of him.
Why should l investigate him?
For what?
Fine.
Then you won't be able to get me.
l'll turn myself in.
No!
What's the number?
No! You can't!
Are you an idiot?
Fine.
CHUN was a detective
and something wasn't right.
Yes, l started investigating him.
Then what?
That's it.
Don't do anything foolish
till l bring you in myself!
So, are you hurt?
Did you go to the hospital?
Hey! Don't call me
unless you're completely dead!
l'll be right in after
l wrap things up here.
- Did you book the funeral?
- Yes.
- All the files ready?
- Yes.
Said it was an accident?
lt's obvious isn't it, sir?
Fool! Every corpse has a story!
lf a frog dies, get the kid who
threw a rock at it for fun!
Yes, sir.
Dr. CHOl will be in soon.
He'll do the postmortem.
Give him Seok-man's jacket,
pants, socks, everything!
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Are you okay?
We spent 25 years together.
Yes, l know how you feel.
l'll take care of
that bastard myself.
Why? Does it hurt that much?
Seok-man probably felt
the same as l did.
lt's like Mr. RYU coming back
from the dead to haunt us.
We're sinning again.
And evil's churning inside.
l can't take it anymore!
Does it look like l can?
He'll leave on his own.
lf not, l'll deal with him myself.
Be careful.
Remember, he's RYU's son.
Good, you came.
Have some food.
Okay.
Let's go Deok-chun.
We got lots to do.
Curious aren't you?
About the Chief,
Seok-man...and me.
Young-ji at the store, Mr. RYU...
lf l tell you everything...
Then will you leave?
Promise!
Fine.
Everything you want to know
is at my house
Take it and go.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Come in.
- Hello.
- Stay seated, sir.
Welcome, Prosecutor PARK.
- Busy?
- No, sir.
Come with me.
A superior introduced him to me.
He's got major connections.
Beyond imagination.
lt's your chance to go to Seoul!
What's with you?
There's no harm in meeting him.
Yes, sir.
Good luck.
Nice to meet you.
Prosecutor PARK Min-uk, right?
Yes.
l'm CHUN Yong-duk.
l used to be a detective.
So? How can l help you?
You know RYU Hae-guk, right?
RYU Hae-guk...
Heard he caused you
quite a headache in the past.
And?
l came to see if we could talk.
Me? With you?
Yes. That fool made
a big mistake.
Are you trying to use a prosecutor
for your own affairs?
Some detective!
What do you think you're doing!
l think there's been
a misunderstanding. That's not it.
l just wanted to meet and share
some information.
Let me tell you
something about him.
He destroyed
a prosecutor's career for good.
lf anything happens to him,
you're spending life in prison.
l'm bringing him down!
Got that!
Don't misunderstand me, Prosecutor.
lt's hot in here.
Someone died in town
and l think RYU's involved.
Call me if you need
anything on him!
That son of a bitch.
l'm busy collecting info on you.
Should we send
Prosecutor PARK something?
Sometimes you can give 'em
everything and still get smacked.
Still, l never saw a fool
who didn't want money.
No need to rush.
There are people in higher places.
Hello?
lt's RYU Hae-guk.
Hello?
l was worried you might not come.
Now, it's time for you to go.
You people killed him!
Didn't you!
The city man's pretty strong!
Bastard!
The coffee's great.
We got lots of time.
The night is long in the mountains.
You think your father
was the victim?
Ever think he could be
the offender?
Like how you killed Seok-man.
Don't look surprised.
Like father like son.
Hold your horses!
l'll send you to your father!
The sickle will work best.
Where's that sickle?
Guess it's in the warehouse.
l'll be right back.
Try and escape if you can.
Sung-kyu!
No!
lsn't that Sung-kyu's house?
What in the world?
Sung-kyu! Sung-kyu!
Hurry! Get some water
and put the fire out!
That son of a bitch!
Sung-kyu?
We were all living good, right?
lt wasn't good for you?
Why aren't you answering?
Yell like you always do!
Answer me...
Let's go to the hospital.
You should get treated.
No! l'm going back.
Just go?
Without finding out anything?
l don't give a damn anymore.
l can't take it!
They're all crazy!
- You didn't even try.
- What?
Sung-kyu and Seok-man's tape and
the Bible from Sam-deok Prayer House.
Who put them there! And why...
l don't care.
lt's your battle, already.
lt's what your father wanted!
What he wanted!
Yes?
Sung-kyu's dead, too.
Did you see Hae-guk?
Yes, he's with me.
Really? What's he doing?
He's hurt.
l'm taking him to the hospital.
Stop the car!
Okay.
Stop the car, now!
Where's RYU Hae-guk?
He forced me to get off
so l took a cab.
l don't know where he went.
- He's young, right?
- What?
You like young men?
lf you help him again...
l'll kill you.
Go to bed.
Mr. RYU Hae-guk?
Remember me?
We met at your father's funeral?
Ah, yes.
Looks like you've been assaulted.
Come with me to the station.
lt's okay.
l got it treated.
We should investigate
and catch the assailant.
You don't understand.
We settled it and it's over.
We'll be the judge of that.
Let's go.
What if l don't?
We'll have to take you by force.
You'll take me in
for questioning? lllegally.
Don't let me force you, sir.
Before you take me by force...
Let me record your name,
department, and reason.
Why you!
From now on,
talk to my lawyer.
Your lawyer?
l met him while fighting against
the police and prosecutors.
Never lost a case.
Attorney PARK?
What? Attorney?
lt's RYU Hae-guk.
Some officer is trying to
take me in illegally.
Please talk to him.
Hey! RYU Hae-guk!
Hold on.
Yes?
Hello?
Hello?
Look...
What do you think
you're doing to Mr. RYU Hae-guk!
l'm ah...PARK Min-uk...
his lawyer.
l see.
Mr. RYU Hae-guk's been
in a violent fight.
So?
l'd like to take him in
for questioning.
Still, you have no right.
l'll say it again.
lt's clear he's been in a fight.
l think he needs to be
questioned on the case.
You're really set on taking him in?
There's ample reason to take him in.
Stop. l'll be right over.
Put Mr. RYU back on.
Yes, Mr. PARK?
Why you little!
l'm coming to see
what kind of shit you're in!
l gotta see what you gained
after destroying me!
He's got a lawyer?
His name's PARK Min-uk.
Who?
Attorney PARKMin-uk.
What? PARK Min...
That's strange.
- Officer CHUN.
- Yes.
That lawyer's a prosecutor.
A prosecutor?
The one you met before?
Right.
Then why would he lie
to help out RYU Hae-guk?
Says he'll kill Hae-guk himself.
Doesn't want anyone else
touching his meat.
A prosecutor
impersonating a lawyer?
Should l charge him?
What good is that?
Think about who will be hurting more
after everything's in the open.
Yes, sir.
They'll bring up Seok-man's death.
Not only that,
it'll bring up Mr. RYU, too.
What?
Complicate things.
So they can't see the big picture.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Are you RYU Hae-guk's lawyer?
l'm a prosecutor
from Chang-sung District.
Long time no see.
Ah, hello.
Unaware of what's going on,
l had to pretend l was a lawyer.
You can go back, sir.
We'll drop the case, too.
l'm glad we see eye to eye.
Mind if Mr. RYU and l
go about our business?
What?
Let's go, Mr. RYU.
Let's talk about life, shall we?
Yes, sir.
Two people in town are dead
and l was involved with both of 'them.
Wait.
l'll map things out.
Let me do the questioning.
What?
l have to draw the big picture.
Let's take things in order.
What a perfect place to cover up
two deaths.
Nice fresh air!
Nice, isn't it?
Not much but the good air
around here.
Welcome, Prosecutor PARK.
l came to investigate
Mr. JEON Seok-man's death.
Here's the suspect, RYU Hae-guk.
Looks like a criminal,
doesn't he?
Then l'll be pleased to help.
Why thank you.
Help from a veteran detective...
Pretty impressive.
lt's all in the past. lt's been a
long time since l quit the force.
l was talking about
your real estate records.
Of course!
They say you get a house
just by brushing shoulders with me.
Your mother lives in an apartment
without an elevator, correct?
Oh, by the way!
Tell her to sell it
before it gets cold.
l heard a crematory is
coming in behind there.
l don't like you.
Same goes for me.
Strange.
Who's that on the left?
KlM Deok-chun.
The Chiefs henchman.
So he's a trustworthy guy?
He knows a lot about the Chief.
- You be the prosecutor.
- What?
Crap.
That's the Chiefs house.
lt's like a feudal lord's castle.
You can look down
and keep watch on everything.
So this tunnel was for
keeping watch on your father?
l think so.
The answer is with the Chief,
the store owner, and KlM Deok-chun.
lt's gotta be the Chief.
- And his right hand?
- KlM Deok-chun?
He obeys no matter what?
He'll do everything the Chief says.
That's right!
l just did as he ordered.
Mr. KlM Deok-chun!
What is it? What do you want?
ls it...
My turn now?
Seok-man, Sung-kyu...
Now...lt's my turn?
lt'll come without warning, right?
No one will kill you.
l'm a prosecutor.
As long as l'm here,
no one can kill anyone.
What do you have to do with
their deaths? Why's it your turn?
You saying you killed them?
l don't know anything
but what l was told.
l didn't do anything!
l just took things back and forth
like he said!
l beat 'em like l was told!
And killed...
You just did what you were told.
lt's not like you wanted to do it.
Yes, that's right.
l did it cuz l was told.
Buy land for the governor.
Send two apple boxes to Senator PARK.
They said to thank the Chief.
So what did the Chief say?
Put in money instead of apples.
lt's so heavy.
Secret number 2736.
Take out $30,000 in cash.
l go from Seoul to Busan.
But have to wait outside.
But l'm starving.
Senator SONG likes caviar and
Senator PARK likes Marlboros.
Put the apple box
in Senator HONG's car.
Don't look good to fill it half way.
Get a smaller box!
l gotta find the right box.
The guy's suing us after selling
his land over. Kill him!
You deal with
messy things like that!
The Chiefs busy.
He's gotta meet
the senators and handle things.
l wanna go and eat yummy stuff!
But only Chief gets to go!
Then l grab the bastards' necks!
So...
Chief meets and gives boxes
full of cash to big shots...
while you beat up people
and grab their necks!
Make him sign the accounts.
lf he won't,
get his thumb print.
lf you can't get that,
cut off his finger!
lf he resists,
cut his neck!
lf not, dig up
his ancestors' graves!
Burn the house down
if you have to!
We get it.
You just did what you were told!
- Look.
- KlM Deok-chun!
No! Chief!
Please don't hit me!
Don't smile while you beat me.
That scares me more!
lt hurts more. l'm scared!
No, Chief!
Please!
- Deok-chun, hurry over.
- Sir?
- l'll see you there.
- But l'm busy...
Drop it and hurry over!
Got something for me to do, sir?
- Will you do it?
- Of course.
- You in a good mood?
- Yes.
Looks like the idiot's heart
was frozen hard.
What?
You know, Deok-chun...
l liked your blank slate.
Blank slate, sir?
Other people's slates were
red, blue, and black.
They had their own
strong colors.
l had to paint all over 'em.
But you were white.
l thought l could do
anything with you there.
l only took you around
and gave you errands...
Not cuz you're slow...
But cuz l like you.
l beat you!
Cuz l didn't want you
to get stained.
l only wanted you to follow me,
But in the end
l ripped you to pieces.
l'm sorry.
Don't be, Chief.
Not you, Chief.
Don't do this, sir.
Please?
Must've been hard for you.
No!
l'm okay, sir.
You can rest now.
Chief...
No, Chief!
Chief!
KlM Deok-chun is dead.
l'm going to the Chief.
Wait!
You saw how he dealt with
the two deaths in town.
Get out of there, for now.
We'll investigate
Deok-chun's death.
Who the hell is CHUN Yong-duk?
What did my father do?
Guess l can't live quietly
like moss.
Pain for pain.
Scar for scar
Eye for an eye!
Fine! l'm going right to him!
Let's see if he can kill me
like he killed my dad.
l told you to get out of there!
Hello? Hello?
Thanks for everything.
RYU Hae-guk!
Have some.
You killed him, didn't you?
You killed my father!
Answer me!
lt's okay. There's no one left
to come and eat.
They're all dead.
Did you kill my father!
l'm not finished eating!
Did l kill him, you ask?
Wanna hear my story?
See, we walk on land.
But he could touch the clouds.
Moo.
So damn sweet!
Who caught a cow?
Mr. YEOM did, yesterday.
Now this is natural food!
Veggies aren't everything!
Where are the others?
l think the three of 'em ran off.
Didn't even leave a sock behind.
Fools. Couldn't stick it out.
One must overcome the pain
of the sins he committed.
But people can make a few mistakes
in life, can't they?
What we did were no mistakes.
They weren't accidents.
We must work hard
to deeply repent our sins.
To wash away our sins.
Will this be better?
Will this wash
the sins away?
What the hell are you doing!
Apologize to Mr. RYU, now!
l'm sorry.
Mr. RYU?
They're simple-minded.
Please understand 'em.
Of course.
l appreciate their honesty.
That's good.
Young-ji, stay here.
The three of you come with me.
What? Five times?
Wow! You really hit it off
with that girl!
l kept away from
girls way too long!
l really needed that!
Forget today and go back to normal.
Then l'll see to this regularly.
And keep your pants on!
Yes, sir.
Not asleep yet?
Did you go into town?
Yes. The guys had it rough
so l helped them relax a bit.
You mean people buying
other people?
No, beasts borrowing humans.
They're not humans.
What?
We brought 'em here
to turn 'em into humans.
Then they're still beasts!
So we should give 'em
the carrot once in a while.
That's how you tame the beasts.
Who says we can tame them
and make them into people?
They're not animals.
We can't own people.
That's for books.
Reality is different.
You have a long way to go
to understand the real world.
We're eating raw rice
for crying out loud!
You can have all the credit.
Just let us relax will ya?
Tell me how you want to live.
What?
You've washed away your sins.
What do you want to do now?
What kind of man
do you want to be?
What are you saying, Mr. RYU?
l'm happy the way l am now.
And...
Stop saying sin.
l feel like a sinner, like l'll sin
again, when l see you.
lt's hard.
Your son's schooling comes first.
Not the factory.
lf he succeeds,
who needs a factory?
Can't you give us another $1,000?
Come on.
lt's not my fault it's worth shit.
But it was worth
two times that last year!
Go back and sell it then!
Yeah!
You don't need the field
in front of your house now, right?
l'll pay you $200 on top for that.
Take it or leave it!
Sir! Have some ribs!
Barbecued dog's the best!
l knew it.
You were right!
Fear will save me.
You still don't get it?
This town was made thanks to you,
but it's not running because of you.
lt's cuz of me!
You're living thanks to me.
Who do you think you are!
Thought you could be god?
Holding a knife, about to kill him!
Some god!
Why aren't you getting rid of me?
You really don't know?
You're a master
at fooling people!
l run things with money,
gifts, and threats.
But you look at 'em once and say,
Have you been redeemed?
Then they all go crazy!
Ready to kiss your ass!
l admit it!
With you there, l could win people over
without money, gifts, or violence!
l made you!
l made your status here!
When you were
talking about god and shit...
l dealt with con-men, thieves,
murderers, gangsters!
l can't turn 'em into humans,
but l can grab their necks like this!
And shake 'em all l want!
You wanted to become god?
l wanted to become a man!
Someone who grabs 'em like this!
You're a human too, you bastard!
Live here from now.
lf he tried to kill the Chief,
he would've killed us, too.
You're no different from us.
Holding up a knife like that.
Did l lie about anything?
No.
Seok-man and Sung-kyu
had their sad stories, too.
Deok-chun, too.
Now that they're all dead.
l don't feel so good.
Can l go now?
l'll make you dinner
before you leave town.
l'll make you chicken soup
and tell you what you want to know.
Come by tomorrow night.
You finish looking into
Song-gang Prison.
Yes, sir.
There's nothing official
on the prayer house case.
So find the search team back then.
Yes, sir.
lt'd be nice if CHUN Yong-duk
didn't hear about this.
ls KlM Deok-chun's autopsy
report coming in tomorrow?
Yes, sir.
Good.
And why can't we track
CHUN's bank account?
Higher authorities are
already looking into it.
They're telling us to back off.
This is bigger than we thought.
Let's crack it.
Let's go!
Hello?
Yes, it's me.
What?
How can l help you?
lt's about RYU Hae-guk.
Why should l hear about
RYU Hae-guk from you?
For what?
No one else will tell you
about him besides me.
Let's hear it.
RYU Hae-guk is going to
the Chiefs house tonight.
What?
He wants to end everything tonight.
Quick question.
Ever heard of
Sam-deok Prayer House?
Yes.
Did the Chief kill the people?
Think you can beat
the Chief with that?
lf he's planning to kill me,
he can expect to bleed, too.
Whoever has the knife or gun
will die first.
Think about the people who died.
Make him hold the knife first.
What do you want me to do?
What the hell do you know?
Who are you?
Hi, Hae-guk.
Why'd you call so late?
l even sent a telegram.
ls this about your mom?
She already passed away.
When?
You really want to know?
Her remains are in a charnel house.
Would you like to go?
l'm hanging up now.
Young-ji? Come in for a sec.
This is good.
Young-ji?
Whose side are you on?
Mine or RYU Mok-hyeong's?
No answer.
Guess that doesn't mean me.
Does it matter?
No.
But why does it hurt so much?
ln my heart.
You're the only one in town.
What?
Who follows him and not me.
What's the reason?
He knows everything.
He has to die!
But he saved me.
And me?
You got revenge for me.
How amusing.
There's no end to greed.
Are you going to kill Mr. RYU?
Will that be the end?
Why would l?
l've got men who'd do it...
Just hoping
you'd be on my side, too.
What if l don't?
Then l'll make you obey!
You wanna see
RYU Mok-hyeong alive?
Tonight...
l'm sleeping here.
Who are you!
Don't be scared.
l'm on Mr. RYU's side.
You know l'm on your side, right?
lt's okay. lt's okay.
l'm sorry.
- l'm so sorry.
- Don't be.
lt was my battle to fight.
And this is yours.
That your father left for you.
As soon as we arrive,
block off the town completely!
Especially the cops there!
- Are you armed?
- Yes, sir.
- Looking good.
- Sir?
Prosecutor PARK Min-uk speaking.
You!
lf you don't pullout right now
you're out of a job! Got it!
Got it. So be it, sir.
Who was that?
Boss says to pullout.
Keep driving.
Let's see who'll lose the job.
lnstant chicken soup.
But it doesn't smell that bad.
Seok-man died because of me.
lt's a killer!
Sung-kyu also died
while trying to kill me.
lt's boiling.
Why did they try to kill me?
What did l do that was so wrong
they would try to kill me?
They probably tried to kill you
cuz you fired up their true natures.
What the hell are you saying?
Shit. Why's my ear so itchy?
People are so stupid.
ln all my years as a detective,
l found people kill and die
for stupid reasons.
So, for what stupid reason
did you kill my father!
Young-ji?
Put the damn knife away.
Stay still!
You're still talking about that?
Fool!
Why would l kill RYU Mok-young?
For what?
Don't think l could handle him
like all the others? Me?
You're saying he died on his own?
He just died!
Cuz he was old!
What a laugh!
Put the gun down!
Yup. That is funny.
Mr. CHUN Yong-duk!
You're under arrest for assaulting
KlM Deok-chun.
We'll deal with
your other crimes later.
You did your homework.
Where's the warrant?
There's an emergency arrest
in Criminal Procedure Law.
lf you have a criminal record
longer than 3 years.
Or if you did something that's
reason enough for imprisonment.
Or if you try to run or destroy
evidence we can skip the warrant.
There's no way Commissioner KlM
approved of this!
Search through Commissioner KlM's
office and house at dawn.
Yes, sir.
l'd shut my mouth
if l were you.
l'll bring down
all your buddies!
You know it's nothing
without any proof.
Let's start with assaulting
KlM Deok-chun!
You got proof?
Blackmail.
Show me the evidence!
Bribery!
l said show me the proof!
Search the closet
in the store's main bedroom.
There are old documents
and other evidence.
Get everything.
Report to me when you're done.
l repeat!
Search the closet
in the store's main bedroom!
Get all the evidence now!
Young-ji...
What the!
Who's there?
Shit.
What's that sound?
Some cop lit up a gas can
and set the store on fire!
Get the bastard!
He's burning inside, too!
lt's the Chiefs son!
Father!
His son's dying!
That bastard!
lt'll be harder to miss
from here.
Let's go.
Everything went up in flames.
Why should l go?
Right?
You have nothing on me!
Worry about yourself.
Son of a...
Say it!
Tell me about my father!
You sure you can handle it?
The man who was the beginning
and the end to this town!
Think you can handle it?
Ever heard of
Sam-deok Prayer House?
Director PARK!
Who did this?
RYU...Mok...hyung...
RYU Mok-hyeong?
You're lying!
l heard from Mr. RYU
and even witnessed something.
What the hell!
You were too young
to remember anything!
l was old enough
and remember clearly.
Why'd you come out so soon?
They're all busy praying.
Let's say goodbye later.
- Let's go!
- Okay.
Mr. RYU?
Did you go to the prayer house?
Ah, no.
There's a present there for you.
What present?
A token of my appreciation
for meeting someone like you.
- Mr. RYU!
- Yes?
l...
Ah... nothing.
l just remembered something.
lf what you say is true,
l was going to kill myself.
Know what l mean?
But why would my dad
hide a mass murder?
Because he did it!
lf the Chief didn't do it,
it's possible Mr. RYU did.
ln the name of judgment.
What are you doing!
Accomplice awareness?
Mr. RYU felt guilty every time
he saw the Chief.
Who says l killed them!
l was a detective back then!
l can hear it in your voice.
Let's go in.
You can't take me in
without any evidence!
Make the most precious
thing common!
Mr. RYU said to leave it
just anywhere.
What are you saying?
There's more evidence?
Talk! Or l swear l'll rip it
out of you!
Where everything is kept
in our town.
lt's all there.
The warehouse!
Search it!
Handle all documents carefully.
Collect everything
even the garbage!
lt's here, sir!
Old accounts and
stamped documents!
Pledges with thumb prints in blood!
lt's all here!
The world you built
crumbled as of today!
What do you have left to protect?
ls that what you want?
Fine!
Let's fight this with the law.
Let's go!
l'll do it. But!
What is it?
Didn't you see ex-presidents?
l'll get dressed properly first.
Wait outside.
No!
What are you trying to pull!
Why?
Think l'll kill myself?
Crazy?
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
l'll give you 5 minutes.
lf you pull anything,
we'll shoot you down.
Got that?
For men like him,
it's like wearing armor
before a war.
But l still don't know
how my father died.
The Chief is right.
What?
Mr. RYU died on his own.
What?
So you'd come.
What did he want
from me coming here?
Everything you did till now.
Everything l did?
Bring judgment he couldn't.
You wanna fight?
Think you can bring me down?
To get to me...
You'll have to dust
the whole country!
God damn it!
Mr. RYU Hae-guk!
Hello, Prosecutor PARK.

You wanted me to say that, right?

Just a little weird sometimes.
