While I'm living,
I get faced with the situation that I never wanted, sometimes.
I always think, whenever it happens,
I do feel sorry for this world.

Looks like dogs are flying in the sky, today.
The special investigative team deal...
Yes, boss. I'm working on it.
Hurry it up.
There's no cure for getting bit by a mad dog.
Yes, sir.
Sending out a dog to catch a dog.
How deplorable.
Let's go.
Yes, boss.
Producer CHOI Joo-seop
Bravo!
They're getting smarter by the day.
Written / Directed by KIM Dong-won
We have no real proof to nail Yang Gwang-sup, yet.
He set up Hanyang Finance by the law.
Shut up!
Sit down.
Get out.
I know how you feel, Chief.
Maybe you're obsessing over him due to personal reasons.
Forget Yang and...
You bastard!
It's you, isn't it!
How much did he bribe you with?
Chief, please...
That's right! I'm crazy!
Cuz fools like you took bribes and let the bastard go!
You son of a bitch!
Admit it!
Everyone out.
Bring me Capt. Park.
Where'd that cop come from?
Ain't no cops here before.
Just go! We're late!
Just go!
Stop! Stop right there!
The fool doesn't get it.
What the?
Crazy idiot!
You drove through a red light, sir. License, please.
We rule this hood. Don't give it to him!
We're in a rush!
Don't you know who we are?
You want trouble!
We're late for the wedding. Let's just go.
Get away!
Shit. I'm late. Damn cop!
Give me your license!
Go easy on him. Don't break his torch.
What the!
Traffic violation.
Obstruction of an officer.
Assaulting an officer.
Illegal possession of arms.
And what do you call gangsters going around together?
- Forming a gang group crime. - What?
Forming a gang group crime.
Forming...
- a gang... - a gang...
- group... - group...
- crime. - Crime.
And bribing an officer!
You're all under arrest!
Look, it's him!
Isn't he dreamy? He's so hot!
Totally hopeless in love.
- Over here! - Go deliver.
Come in!
Sit over there.
What's with the jacket? A celebrity or something?
He's a habitual traffic violator.
10 times this month, alone.
10 times?
What a nasty fool!
Lift your head up. Let me see your face!
Don't hit me!
This is a law-abiding country! Stop violating traffic laws!
It's the car! Not me!
- By the 20th, you have to... - I know!
Take the class and bring the certificate, right?
- I got it! - And pay the fine this time!
I got mouths to feed!
I'd pay if I could!
Shit.
Shouldn't have released the damn albums.
Damn door's stuck!
Who's this fool?
A hit-and-run driver.
Stupid idiot!
Put him behind bars!
Let's get started.
Pizza delivery!
What?
I didn't order this.
It's a gift.
A heart?
To end this quickly...
- Just answer 'yes' or 'no'. - Yes, sir.
Were you in the possession of illegal weapons?
We were going to check out a gravesite for my grandpa.
I said, 'yes' or 'no' answers!
Yes, sir.
- Name. - Yes!
You playin' with me! 'Yes' my ass!
- Name! - No!
You stupid bastards!
Hey, Chang!
Stop hitting people!
My office, now!
- Ow, my head. - Shut up.
Hey, Chang!
Why are you always so impulsive?
We deal with traffic offenses not major crimes!
Why do you always bring in gangsters?
Just do your job right!
They started it! A cop's gotta teach 'em!
If you want to hit people, go somewhere else!
Get out of here!
Aren't you goin' to work, hon?
Come on, babe.
Can't you take a day off?
Crazy?
I paid a fine last month, too.
Go, so I can see my customers.
Just one day off, hon. Please?
I'll fire you up, real good.
What the hell?
You shitheads having fun?
Maybe you should straighten your hair.
That little bastard!
Get the hell out!
I'll pay ya in three days.
I'll pay it back, bitch!
Don't worry!
Hey, Blades!
I'll call you, later.
How are ya?
Yes, sir.
Still sleepin' here and stuff?
Couldn't find a place, yet.
I'll get a place soon.
Hop in.
Huh?
Get in the car.
Let's go for drinks.
Yes, sir.
What?
A cop?
Here are the papers.
Just go for 6 months.
But I'm not doing good these days.
I broke my wrist. I can't lift my arm.
See? I can't even salute.
Why me, boss? I'm not even in your gang.
It can't be one of our boys.
They're on to all of us.
I heard you went to college.
Well, off and on...
Just shut up and go.
Use this to get rid of your scars.
Come on boss. I'd rather go to jail!
How can I become a cop?
Yes?
I heard you borrowed dough from a loan shark.
Want me to tell him to cut ya down?
I'll make the appointment.
Dr. Jung was it?
All taken care of, sir.
Can he be trusted?
Yes, sir.
He's smart with a clean record.
He'll do anything I say, sir.
Would you like to meet him?
No need.
- Young-sik? - Yes, boss.
You and I are the only ones who know about this.
He'll get experience on the road...
then go to special investigations in June.
It's all set, sir.
Police certificate Joong-dae Lee.
Deplorable, yet that's how my life as a cop got started.
Allegiance!
But then it suited me better than being a dog for a gang.
Problem is I had to move posts often.
Not that fool again! We're screwed!
It's not him, sir.
Yeah, this guy's nose is shorter!
Good day. Officer Lee Joong-dae at your service.
Traffic violation. License, please.
- Tell him you don't have it! - I don't have it.
Driving without a license.
- According to law 43 section 2... - Wait!
I'm on my way to a birthday party!
Didn't the Capt. Call you?
No, sir. License, please.
Don't you know who owns this hood?
Go teach him a lesson, boys!
You fool! You dare stop us?
You moved?
Kick him right!
You pork head!
That little!
Stop moving!
You're dead!
Stupid cop!
Today's your funeral!
Traffic violation and...
Yeah! And illegal possession of arms!
So you know, huh?
What's that?
What's with all the traffic cops here?
They're all hoodlums!
My boyfriend's not a hoodlum!
He is, too!
Go deliver!
Chief?
This is the one I told you about.
He's outside. Would you like to meet him?
No.
We're the only ones who know about this project.
Only we know his face and identity.
But why choose someone in traffic patrol?
As you know, sir...
They have tabs on everyone in special investigations.
Any problems in planting him in the gang?
Damn!
I made arrangements for him to start at the bottom.
Yang Gwang-sup... That bastard.
You're dead!
Only 3/10ths of the blade is needed to win.
The rest should be wrapped up to avoid killing.
This knife's different.
Watch carefully.
See that?
Tilt your head like this and stare him right in the eye!
What the hell!
You crap sucking ass!
What the hell!
You crap sucking ass!
Damn! The accent's all wrong!
Get it right!
In 20 years of gangster training, never saw a cop so slow!
Where'd you find this dope?
Let's just give him a tattoo.
A tattoo?
What's with all the noise?
Don't go in there!
It hurts damn spankin' lots to get tattoos.
Fools like you will never know till you get one.
A fool? Watch it!
Just joking.
Anyway, I'm outta cash.
I told ya to train him but you just ate on the job, didn't you!
Bring me the receipts.
What, you don't trust me?
Think it'd rip you off on the fees?
Can't you just get me a lump sum?
I gotta file the expenses!
I don't have that kinda cash!
What kind of tattoo is he getting?
- Cool ain't it? - Not bad.
Just get me the receipts.
Let's see... Oh no! It's gone!
Oh no!
- The sample's been switched. - What?
Stop! I gave you the wrong sample!
Stop! Stop!
It's the wrong sample!
What?
So this wasn't the newest trend?
I thought it was weird.
But I already did it.
Stop being such a baby.
- It can't hurt that bad. - It kills!
I'm sorry, pal.
I thought I'd promote you from traffic patrol...
Shit. I should quit being a cop.
You can cuz you don't have a family to take care of.
But I can't even if I wanted to.
You still carry this picture around?
Yun-hee must be big now.
She started playing the cello.
But the damn thing costs 18 grand.
And she needs it to go to college.
On a cop's salary...
When the chasers run in, the hunter guards the corner.
The corners I know so well...
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One!
Come here!
Open up!
Where'd you hide them?
I didn't hide anyone!
We know everything!
You can't barge in here!
We can charge you with obstructing the police.
Get the hell out of my house!
An all too familiar place for me.
My memories of young days are all here.
Someone must've tipped 'em off. There's no one here.
Where's the law in this country!
What the hell are you doing!
Don't light that!
Put the fire out, bastard!
Put it out, now!
Hi! Hi!
Book 'em all.
Officer of the month Joong-dae Lee applies to special investigations.
Allegiance!
What a record.
Glad to be working with you.
It's an honor to be working for the best department, sir.
Any special reasons for applying to come here?
Have you seen the movie, "The Untouchables"?
The what?
It's a classic about the great American detective, Elliot Ness.
- In the film... - Enough!
Yes, sir.
Send him to start in team 3, tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
- Team 3 deals with drugs and... - If I may...
- I'd like to work on nailing Yang. - That'll be all.
Yes, sir.
Follow me.
Allegiance!
Boss?
What brings you here so early?
Our eagle has landed in special investigations.
It took longer than I thought.
This tree is a hundred years old.
It survived the Japanese attack and Manchu War.
It saw the Japan-Korean Annexation.
And stood through the Korean war.
It is a historic tree.
Ah, boss?
Yes?
The Japanese attack was 400 years ago, sir.
Mr. Lim?
You called, sir?
Bring me an ax.
- An ax? - Forgive me, sir!
- Mr. Lim? - Yes!
- Cut this tree down. - Sir?
Right now.
Yes, sir.
I'm being sent away.
It's a top secret case.
I won't be able to call you.
What? Where?
Are you going somewhere far?
Sort of.
A traffic cop on a secret case?
Now, that's a laugh.
I'll come back, soon.
I'll be back!
I gotta make a delivery.
See ya!
Go get 'em, Officer Chang!
Hey, wait...
Hello?
Excuse me?
Anybody home?
It's the right address.
What a view.
Who the hell...
I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
Are you okay!
It burst.
What? Where?
Stand up! Let me see if it's okay!
Get off me!
- What do you have against me? - Are you okay?
Stop eating so much, man.
What the hell?
It's completely crushed.
Will it get back up?
Wait!
There were three balls in here. One's missing!
Stop it, you idiots!
You say Ax sent ya?
He said he'd call you...
I don't take calls from strange numbers.
Once Ax called me and I fought 17:1.
I brought the place down!
- I heard your reputation, sir. - Really?
If you didn't go to jail for adultery then...
Not the hand!
Who told you that?
I went to jail for the 17:1 fight!
You scammed a waitress and tried to run off...
Who's this piece of shit?
Send the bastard out!
Go! You little bastard!
But Ax said you'd take me in.
Get the hell out of my face!
Boss!
I've been the bottom dog for long!
Please take him in!
Hurry up and beg!
Please?
We'll train him good, boss. Let's take him.
Damn it.
For foreign drug crimes there are 20 Chinese...
9 Iranians.
And 7 from America and from Russia.
Even after the cash flow from Hanyang Finance...
The $48 million loan is quite a toll on us.
Then...
What's our plan?
Disclosure for now...
then make CD's and do the dealings that way.
Look.
I have a rep. CD's won't be enough.
Send 'em good whiskey bottles, too.
But they're certificate of deposits...
You gotta give what you gotta give in doing business.
Send Louis 17 whiskeys.
It's Louis 13, sir.
Did I mention the office remodeling is underway?
We've put in ceiling air-conditioners...
And HD TV's, too.
HD TV? What's that?
They're good, 'Hyundai' (modern) TV's, sir.
Not too expensive, either.
Wouldn't Samsung or LG be better?
Sir? Your wife is here to see you.
Tell her I'm in an important meeting.
Cho Min-joo.
She's the only daughter of the late Tiger Gang Boss.
In 1994...
She married Yang and they have a son together.
They're having marital problems due to Yang's affairs.
Why?
I can't be a part of this meeting?
I see.
You don't come home for two days cuz you're so busy at work?
Some visitors came from abroad that I had to entertain.
Entertain? Something hot, I presume?
Right, Mr. Ki?
Ah... yes...
We all just drank and fell asleep. Nothing happened.
Right, Mr. Ki?
Yes, sir.
The meeting's over.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Ki?
Yes, ma'am?
There's one thing I can't stand in this world.
You know?
I'm afraid I don't...
As long as he's with me, I don't want him fooling around.
Your boss, that is.
He can do it, if I'm dead.
Honey?
It's Min-sung's birthday. Be home for dinner by 8.
It's his birthday, today?
Mr. Ki?
Yes, ma'am.
Report all his schedules to me from now on.
Yes, ma'am.
Name, Ki Young-sik.
Yang's right hand man.
A former operation head for the Tigers.
Very clever with a brutal nature.
He's in charge of the gang's organization and business.
Yang's mind is elsewhere on women.
He may be the boss...
But Ki's the one really in charge of the Hanyang gang.
Think Yang knows?
Well, from what he's been doing...
Anyway, it could be good for us. Keep watching.
What about our agent there?
Leave us, men.
- Another all nighter. - Not again...
What are you doing?
Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
It's okay. I came to get something.
I haven't seen you before. Do you work here?
Yes. The name's Lee Joong-dae.
The Roundup King?
What?
I saw your records. So you're the famous Roundup King?
Please...
Glad to meet you. I'm Inspector Cha Se-lin.
Pleasure!
- Let's have drinks sometime. - Sure!
Family Motto: Live each day with class I'm sorry I forgot your birthday, Min-sung.
What would you like for your birthday present?
My birthday was last month.
What?
Still, I should get you something. What do you want?
- Didn't you get me the Nintendo? - What?
Mom, you said dad got me that.
Right! Of course I did.
Is it fun?
I guess. But nothing's real fun these days.
Mrs. Moon!
That slow bitch.
I'll throw her ass out.
Mrs. Moon!
Min-sung?
I miss ya, hon~ What does the symbol at the end mean?
It's like an exclamation mark.
To show that you're sincere.
At the end...
- This means you're sincere? - Yeah.
That damn bitch!
Watch it around Min-sung.
Do you know what today is?
It's our 15th wedding anniversary.
Of course you didn't know.
Want a Nintendo, too?
Let's eat.
Hey, squirt!
Whacha doin'?
Wiping off sweat.
Why are you covering your chest?
- You got depressed nipples? - No, sir.
Let's see! Show me!
Let go!
Shit.
The hell is that?
What a beauty.
'The following is a receipt'?
You tattoo receipts back where you're from?
Can't stand this fool!
Hurry up and come out.
Shit.
Name, Moon Dong-sik. Aka, Skull.
Specialty, simple and stupid.
Operations head of Hanyang Gang.
He's highly trusted by Daggers.
He'll be guarding Yang's house from next week.
Looks like it'll be easy for Agent Chang to get into the house.
Name, Kim Won-sam. Aka, Monkey.
No need to worry about him.
It's too slow.
Way too slow!
When will he ever become Yang's right-hand man like that?
These things take time, sir.
We need to do something.
Let's make Agent Chang a chance to win Yang's trust.
Sir?
What's Agent Chang doing anyway?
Well...
Hey, squirt! Whacha doin'!
Come here and try it.
Yes, sir.
Damn fool.
Look at those chicken legs.
Hold your pelvis back!
Then kick! Got it?
Try it!
That's it!
Why you...
Looks like the squirt can kick, boss!
Teach him a lesson!
- Get the gloves! - Yes, sir!
Shit.
You scared?
Look at his head!
You! No fool's lasted my punch.
Today's your funeral!
Ring the bell.
You bastard! Wait! Hold on!
Throw in the towel!
What are you doing here?
Shit... You scared me.
Why do you keep popping up?
I'm on night shift. But what are you doing here?
The Chief said he left his cell phone here.
I just talked with him.
On his cell phone.
No, it was something else.
I keep forgetting. It was some file.
- Inspector Lee? - Yes?
Isn't that a file of the agents' personal records?
What?
Looking through agent identifications at this hour.
What for?
Should I tell the Chief?
Wait!
What the!
- Hello? Hello? - You could've just asked me.
Why be so shy. That's my number.
What?
Let's be more honest...
with each other.
With each other?
Let's go out.
Let's go for drinks. I'll buy.
I'm dying here!
I gotta work at the Big Boss' house next week!
Why's the squirt always kicking the boss' balls?
Head down, now!
There's only one ball left, sir.
The thing's almost dead.
How'll you ever use it!
- You son of a bitch! - Sir! Sir!
Out of my way!
- I got the pills. - Good.
Damn! Why's it so bitter?
Get me a candy.
It's a suppository. You stick it in your ass.
Bastard!
You should've told me!
Come here you! You bastard!
- Come here! - But sir!
Get away from me, man!
Pizza delivery!
Go get it, squirt.
That's $32 and fifty...
Honey!
Yu-mi!
So this was the secret place?
This is the special case?
No! No!
Long time no see. How's your mom?
- But I want to see... - Let's go out.
Come on, let's go out.
You know... You're nothing like a cop.
Why's that?
Cops have their own unique scents.
Old, soiled scents.
But you're different?
What are you a hunting dog?
I am when I get drunk.
But aren't you drinking a little too much?
You scared I'll bite?
So cute.
Sir, it's time for us to close.
If you could pay us...
Inspector Cha?
You said you'd pay.
Inspector Cha?
- How much is it? - $275, sir.
What? Why's it so much?
Today's was $65. But she had a $210 tab from before.
She said it'll all be paid, today.
Why's it so expensive?
- $200... What? - $75, sir.
- Just take $200. - What?
Take $10 for a tip.
Here's the $200.
But, sir.
- Wait. - I already paid.
- Hold on. - I said, I paid.
Wait a minute. Here.
I'd like a cash receipt.
Yes, ma'am.
Ow, my head. Don't forget my card.
You fools don't have the basics.
That's why he's still like that!
Bastards.
Shit.
Yes, boss.
No, just watching something sad.
Really? Yes, boss.
- Get ready to roll! - Yes, sir!
Sir?
What about the squirt?
Help me!
Shut up, fool!
Honey! Please?
Can't you sleep here?
You know my wife's hysterical these days.
I hate that you're married.
Stop grumbling, sweetie.
Go shopping with your friends and have some fun.
I don't need this. All I want is you.
I know. Let's go on trip together, soon.
You promised!
Why'd I throw it so far?
The Mrs. Can't be reached, still.
She went to Pusan cuz her mother's critically ill.
It's cancer.
Really?
She's probably not answering cuz she's in the ICU.
^^ How terrible~~ I'll be right over ^^
You have a call!
- Hi, dear. - Don't come, you bastard!
Hello? Hello?
Did she hang up, sir?
She said not to come.
Look, mister.
It'll sting a bit.
Where the hell were ya!
In the bathroom...
I'll deal with you later.
Pour it!
Hey! Stop!
Get the tape.
Look's like he's got something to say.
You stupid bastard!
You piece of shit!
You good for nothing scum!
Good for nothing what?
Sir? Do you know this fool?
I never saw him before.
Then how does he know you so perfectly?
Where'd you hear it from! Spill it!
Say it, now!
Screw you, bitch!
Why you little!
Stop it! Talking won't get through to him.
Where's the lighter?
Mr. Choi.
Please don't kill me! I'll do anything!
Don't kill me! I'll sign it!
Pour it on him!
What about me, you crazy bastards!
Can I go home?
I'm going home!
You have a call.
- Hello? - Come to the club, now!
- Now? - Yes, now!
Hello?
Always so bossy...
A club at this hour?
Man...
- What the? - Sorry.
Hey, mister!
You can't push the lady like that!
Who the hell are you?
Go play somewhere else, man.
This ain't a place for you.
Ooo he's mad.
Shit!
Hear that?
Little pieces of shit! Wanna see me slit your throats?
You wanna see blood?
Shit.
One more cut and it'll be a 'Z'.
Come on, you bastards!
Bring it on!
- You scared? Come here, fool! - Freeze! It's the police!
Put a jacket on him.
Damn gangsters.
Wrap things up here! Let's go!
How can a cop do that with a knife?
Shut up! You bastards!
Put these fools in the cell.
Young folks these days are so hot-blooded.
Don't worry about them.
Thank you for everything.
Take the cuffs off, now! Watch the wrists!
We're very sorry, sir. We were just following a report.
There must've been a misunderstanding.
It's okay.
I'll make the report. Just wrap things up here.
- Yes, ma'am. - Well, then.
Wait! Ah, inspector!
Have we met before?
You look so familiar.
Hoodlums like you are a disgrace to society!
Stop hitting, please.
Sorry.
I don't think so.
Anyway, thank you for everything.
- Goodnight, sir! - Bye!
He looks so familiar...
What was that?
What?
Was that a new move for making arrests?
I guess watching a lot of movies helps.
Anyway, you're full of surprises.
A cop who carries around a blade.
Pretty attractive.
By the way.
I heard your team's going to Pusan.
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you, too.
- What the hell? - Sorry.
I thought you were someone else.
Waking me up like that.
Very sorry, sir.
Why call me out here at the break of dawn!
The Chief wants this kept top secret.
Here.
What's this?
It's a wire.
The Chief wants to speed things up.
The D-day's next Wednesday.
Yang's 15th anniversary party will be at Mayfield Hotel.
Team A will be disguised as the party crew.
You will go into the Mayfield Hotel 2 hours before the set time.
Team B will be disguised as the security guards.
You'll be in charge of setting the cameras and communications.
The plan is to make you Yang's right-hand man.
Team C! You all know what to do!
Disguise yourselves well and wear protective gears!
Dismissed!
Help me!
My arm's on fire!
Hello?
You are the X-man.
What the hell?
Help me! Fire!
Do we have to do this, today?
The boys prepared it.
Enjoy it. You know how much I love you.
Love?
Today's the anniversary of my father's death, stupid.
- Where's this? - The banquet area.
- This is the bathroom. - Yes.
This is Mr. Lee. He recently went bankrupt.
Camera 3.
How much you think Boss Daggers will give me for being the MC?
How much do the singers get?
They're Pansori performers.
Whatever, fool!
How much do they get?
The Boss said it's a secret.
You little.
I told you not to use English around me!
- Won-sam? - Yes, sir.
- What's a see-cret? - It's a secret.
There's no secrets between us!
What does see-cret mean?
I told you! It's a secret!
Go outside for a sec.
But, sir!
I'll ask you one last time.
What is a see-cret?
A secret, sir!
Sir! Sir!
What the hell is a see-cret!
I told you, it's a secret!
Testing. One, two, three.
Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs, here!
I hear you!
Okay, good! You're in the bathroom?
So the plan is...
staying alert in position till I give the orders.
Got it?
And one more...
