Hello, this is Busan Police
yeah I'm a Busan citizen
I have something to tell you
- What's going on? - Arrest him!
Get moving!
Let's go
Sir, the job at the sauna is done
Big boss wants to see you
- Eun-gi! - yes, boss!
- Do you know who Cho Oh-ryun is? - The swimmer?
yeah, The swimmer
I f Cho Oh-ryun and a sea turtle
both swam in a race
who would win?
He's probably shitting his pants
That bastard sold out our boss
All you need to do is stab him while he's sleeping
- you got it? - yes, sir
Do the job late tonight
What did you say to Joon-suk?
I told him we went to a wedding
Good
Who ordered this?
Was it Joon-suk?
Fuck you
So why are you doing this anyway?
I think it's my destiny
Destiny?
I dream of becoming a boss like Joon-suk
Hey boy
Trying to be a boss
and living ambitiously are not the same
you're still young so think it over
Got it?
Anyway, where's Joon-suk?
He's training the interns
Training interns?
- Who brought this? - I did, sir!
you can't kill someone with this kind of knife
I t doesn't need to be big
I f the blade is at least six inches
then it can kill a man But the blade can't be too thin
or it's likely to break because of the bone
Therefore
a sashimi or Swedish knife is often used
- Got it? - yes, sir!
After you stab him
turn the knife by 90 degrees
Whoever it is
the moment the knife goes in
he's sure to collapse on the spot
I f you penetrate the lung then he can't scream
And if air gets into the lung then he's dead for sure
Always be sure to
make him feel the knife
Where's Joon-suk? Instead of the front chest
pros will aim for the back of the lung
Sang-taek
I planned on seeing you and Joong-ho at the airport
Sorry I couldn't make it
Sang-taek!
In high school when you ran away
and then I sent you back home
I bet you didn't know how proud I was of you
Honestly, I wished I was you back then
Isn't it funny?
I was home all day today after
a bad experience with Dong-su
thinking about what the word 'friend' means
I didn't know what friend originally meant
until our teacher wrote the definition on the board
I remember he wrote 'a long and close companion'
Doesn't it sound great?
My father always told me
that loyalty is a man's life
But I'm confused about that now
In fact, I'm not sure what loyalty is anymore
Sang-taek!
I'm planning to travel for a while, like you
I'll send this letter to Joong-ho's address
Take care of yourself until you get back
your friend, Joon-suk
Why didn't you come? you would've liked seeing the guys
I'll just see them later
Sang-taek's leaving for America today
- Want to see him off with me? - See him off?
you have time for that?
I'm sorry I couldn't go to Doruko's funeral
I've been really busy
you've gotten big, Dong-su
Wasn't I always taller than you?
even as your sidekick
- I'll be brief - Take your time if you want
Dong-su!
Remember what you told me when my father died?
What?
What did I tell you?
I've never resented you, even
after the way things turned out
I f you were me you wouldn't either
Don't we just do as we're told?
What?
Did someone tell you to kill me?
Today's my father's memorial
I came to ask you a last favor as a friend
Go ahead
Leave here for Hawaii
Can you stay there for a while?
In time, everything will return to normal
I'll set it up for you
you leave for Hawaii
Okay, I'll leave See you in a few years
Today's his father's memorial
I've never resented you
Don't we just do as we're told?
- Where's my car? - Where are you going, boss?
How far is the airport?
The airport?
you've done your job. . . Go now. . .
When I came back, news
about Dong-su's murder
was no longer news to anyone
Oh, hi! Joong-ho!
Sang-taek is here!
I t happened the day you left
I didn't expect Joon-suk to make a move so soon
He disappeared for about two years
Maybe in the temples or something
Then I heard he ended up with Jin-sook
His gang tried sending him
to Hawaii until the case was dropped
But it wasn't that easy
Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer
He got tired of hiding so he grew a lot weaker
Eventually, he got himself into trouble
What took you so long?
Room ten!
- Son of a bitch. . - He's out of his mind!
What do you want, assholes?
I think of you like a son, too
I don't know what to say
That boy Joong-ho is trying his best to help
In court, say you knew nothing and never ordered it
Pull yourself together I took care of the bribes
In spite of what the police said
I don't believe you had any part
This is your defense in court Follow what it says exactly
I knew Dong-su would end up like this
- Bastard. . - Pull yourself together, asshole!
Dong-su's my friend, too
Don't you know that I'm doing this to save you?
When I looked at him I saw over thirty spots
He was stabbed over thirty times

Hey! I'll be back!
I'll be back next month!
Joon-suk! I'll be back! Take care of yourself!
Sang-taek!
I f Cho Oh-ryun and
a sea turtle swam in a race

- Cho Oh-ryun - See?
No way!
A turtle is much faster under water
The turtle will win
Not underwater but on top of it
Hey, you said underwater before
Me? When?
Man, you're such a liar
Hey, we're in trouble!
We're too far out Let's go back
yeah, the tide might rise soon
Let's go
From what I remember
Joon-suk seemed to be on Dong-su's side then
