["Grassland" by Hodge playing]
I've been walking
Down this broken road ♪
There ain't no summer bridge
No water flowed ♪
I wasn't even sure which way to go ♪
Guess I was a kid too long ♪
[Dong-ha] I said I'd take care of it.
Don't you trust me at all?
I miss the scent
Of all the passing years ♪
Now you're involved in this too.
The stars along the way
That guided me ♪
They haven't been there ♪
[agent] These are the same guys
we've been investigating
for the past two years.
[man] That's your problem!
Get out of here.
How do you come into
someone else's jurisdiction
and make such a huge mess of things?
- [sirens wailing]
- [indistinct chatter]
Hey, you. I already told you!
What aren't you understanding?
[indistinct chatter]
PASS-ONE DISTRIBUTION
CHOI KANG-JUN
[Eun-ju sighs]
[Kang-jun] We are all stuck
in all of this shit.
If only that fucker
had never told me to kill Han-cheol
[Joo-hyun] And so?
Did you kill him?
[reporter 1] At around 6:00 p.m. today
in Busan, an incident occurred
that seems more suited for a movie
than real life.
Four vehicles were involved
in a high-speed car chase.
Among the casualties,
a trailer truck overturned and exploded
after the driver swerved
in order to avoid the speeding vehicles.
More accidents followed in its wake.
Ko Eun-seong reporting.
[reporter 2] The chase began
in the parking lot of a downtown hotel
and continued for about ten kilometers
to an intersection near a shipyard.
There was a collision
between the truck and the car in pursuit.
This led to even more
disastrous accidents.
- [Yong-soo shouts angrily]
- [screen shatters]
Is getting the money back
really this difficult? Huh?
[exhales]
Find Kang-jun, that motherfucker
Wait
[breathes deeply]
Get me the guy's phone.
If Sangseon comes here,
we're all dead, all right? Huh?
Yes, sir.
- [sighs]
- [door closes]
[whirring]
[sighs]
- [exhales]
- [line ringing]
How's our son?
Oh. Okay.
I can't really come home for a while, so
Never mind then.
I'll call you back, okay? Bye.
Mm-hmm.
[sighs]
[breathing shakily]
[groans]
- [screams in pain]
- [phone vibrating]
[breathing heavily]
[whimpering]
[phone ringing]
[breathing shakily]
Why the hell do these motherfuckers
keep calling me
- [ringing continues]
- [breathing heavily]
[shivering]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[phone continues ringing]
- [breathing shakily]
- [Joo-hyun on phone] Where are you?
Are you going to save me or not?
Just tell me that.
[exhales]
I have to pick one side to stick with now.
You better not try anything.
You're
You're after the cop
that I'm leeching from, aren't you?
[Joo-hyun] Who is he?
Hey. [breathing heavily]
We're making a deal.
Call me once you've come up with
a way to save me, you fucking crazy bitch.
[breathing heavily]
[reporter] The citizens of Busan
had to suffer the damage.
The driver caused a chaotic scene
by ignoring traffic signals
and speeding through the intersection.
Numerous cars were caught
in the midst of the action,
and various minor accidents ensued.
While authorities
were handling the situation,
two lanes in Centum City
had to be shut down
[detective] Sir, lieutenant's
looking for you.
[reporter] However, it seems
that all suspects have escaped.
We have reporter Kim Yu-jin
[operator] The person
you're trying to reach
[reporter 2] The police are tracking down
the suspects who've fled the scene.
The Regional Investigation Unit has
arrived at the location of the crime
and are in the process
of investigating the surrounding areas.
[reporter 3] this is very much
an active investigation.
Hello, sir.
Hello, sir.
Thank you, sir!
[suspenseful music playing]
VIOLENT CRIMES SECTION
[Messenger] We're going to start
cleaning things up.
Take care of the professor first,
move your home base.
And stay under the radar
until I contact you again.
DANMIN HOSPITAL
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
[monitor beeping]
[Eun-ju sighs]
[Deuk-soo] They said he needs
some kind of test tomorrow.
They also said something
about medical bills.
[sighs]
[ambulance siren wailing]
Where are you going?
I'll take care of it.
Please just trust me this once.
- [sighs]
- Just worry about Hyun-woo.
[guitar music playing]
[dog barking in distance]
[phone vibrating]
[Kwang-chul]
Things got out of hand in Busan.
Sangseon Ring will
start cleaning things up.
If things get worse
You have no intention of letting me go.
[Kwang-chul] Wait for me to contact you.
[call disconnects]
[line ringing]
Professor Park went back home alone.
DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
[exhaling smoke]
[Chief] I've fucking had it!
Just quit, you pricks!
The Special Investigation Unit
is coming here! Coming onto my turf!
You'll all be sent
to the disciplinary committee!
Just wait till they come
for all of you bastards!
Is that really going to solve anything?
Wasn't it you and the Chief Investigator
who took on this case in the first place?
What'd you say?
What's that?
You want me to take the blame?
Fall on my own sword?
A lot of us were against your plan,
but you wanted
to get promoted before retirement.
Hey.
Hey. As someone so obsessed
with her reputation,
you have a right to say that? Huh?
Get out of here.
[sighs]
[sighs]
Out of my way, pricks!
[breathing shakily]
I don't care what you've found
the last two years.
cover it up.
Don't leave a single file
for the Special Investigation Unit.
Discard everything.
You got it?
Listen here.
Our undercover operation was ruined.
If that comes to light
we are all dead.
Shit!
[huffing in anger]
[indistinct chatter]
Where's my promotion?
Looks like I'm getting the axe.
I already packed my stuff.
'Cause I asked a senior officer
to be responsible.
They'll probably send me
to some station I've never heard of.
[lighter clicking]
The new unit is going
to change everything.
Make sure Han-cheol's files
get covered up.
I'd rather die than go to jail.
By hey,
you lose Yong-soo's men too?
Let's have a meal sometime.
Or a drink.
[indistinct chatter]
Hyun-woo, you know you'll be okay, right?
[Deuk-soo] I thought you said
things might not work out?
You said we'd know
after the biopsy results.
Wow, way to make him feel better.
He deserves to know the truth!
You need to teach despair
before you teach hope.
That way he'll grow up to be strong.
No one in our family dies
from illness, Mom. Don't worry.
That's right. That's right.
PARK DONG-HA
[sighs]
LITERATURE AND HUMANS
[doorbell rings]
You know who I am, don't you?
We made a mess in Busan.
You'll end up dead,
just like your next door neighbor.
You knew, didn't you? You reported them.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know
how Kwang-chul is blackmailing you,
but the police will be here soon.
You'll be investigated as an accomplice
in all the cases
Kwang-chul was involved in.
Let me ask you something.
How did you get involved with him?
Why were you dragged into this?
And now your wife's joined you, too.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[Joo-hyun] Give me a chance.
That's the only way your family
will make it out of this alive.
Sorry.
- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- [Joo-hyun] You're more than involved.
You're a fucking accomplice.
The end will be ugly for you.
The two of them met up.
We should get rid of him
before things get worse.
[phone vibrating]
[Messenger] Where are you?
[flip phone closes]
These are the mid-bosses
that were being investigated
by the narcotics squad.
We've yet to uncover Sangseon's
true identity even after two years.
Look at the photos.
Hwang Yong-soo, Ma Kwang-chul.
The guys we're looking for.
We believe that these two have been
in contact with Sangseon.
We sent relevant intel to your phones
[man on phone] I found Yong-soo.
At Incheon West Tourist Hotel.
[team leader] Details are all there,
so take a look.
[Messenger] Incheon West Tourist Hotel.
- Bring him to me.
- [line ringing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Yong-soo] Shit. [sighs]
- Damn it!
- [doorbell rings]
[sighs]
[door opens]
- [man 1] Where's the boss?
- [man 2] Over there.
[door closes]
We have to move you, sir. Fast.
[frantic music playing]
Shit.
[woman] If you're hurt badly,
you should go to a hospital.
Where did you hurt yourself?
[Kang-jun] It's none of your business,
you fucking bitch.
[grunts]
Police?
[chuckles]
What?
Oh shit.
[vehicle approaching]
[door lock rattling]
[gasps]
[engine revving]
[screams]
[truck door opens]
[tense music playing]
[Dong-ha] His double life
ends in tragedy.
Unable to control the monster
that grew from within him,
eventually he dies by suicide.
A nice place to die.
Peaceful, isn't it?
I was only trying to kill Kwang-chul.
Not betray Sangseon.
You want me to compete with Kwang-chul?
Dog who bit his master.
You want me to leave him alone?
You should know
that dogs take after their owners.
They don't bite their owners
for no reason.
[sighs]
I have a baby boy.
He's only four years old.
[scoffs] Is that why
everyone keeps turning their backs?
Everyone seems to have a family.
Family's always the problem, isn't it?
[breathing shakily]
You were as good as dead
the moment you met Mr. Kim,
or whatever they call him.
How could you even think
of approaching a different supplier?
- Better to get rid of you.
- [sighs]
[sighs]
You want to live?
[Yong-soo breathing shakily]
Who wants it?
I have a lot to take care of.
Let's hurry it up.
We only need one of you.
- [breathing heavily]
- [breathing shakily]
[Dong-ha] Everyone has a monster
living inside of them.
I do
and so do all of you.
[grunting]
[sighs]
You
You were about to grab the gun, right?
You were trying to kill me?
Right?
Hey.
Family is supposed
to watch over each other.
[breathing shakily]
If you'd listened to me,
you son of a bitch,
none of this shit
would have ever happened, motherfucker!
I never should have never accepted you
- [gun firing]
- [groaning]
- [gun fires, clicks]
- [groans]
[grunting]
[Dong-ha] Good and evil.
Of the two,
the one most useful in survival
is evil.
[student murmuring]
Which is what limits good people
and causes tragedy.
[inhales deeply]
In the end, Henry Jekyll
was too weak to keep Edward Hyde
under control.
What brought out Hyde
were Dr. Jekyll's repressed urges
hidden behind hypocrisy.
In other words
it was self-destruction
[students continue murmuring]
[banging table]
- [student 1] What the
- Fuck.
- [student 2] What's wrong with him?
- [student 3] Has he lost it?
Everyone, out.
Get out!
[breathing shakily]
[somber music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[sighs]
[Kang-jun] You know
the guy you buried, Han-cheol?
That punk was a cop.
Could you sleep
after putting a corpse in the ground?
I heard you live with your family.
You
and your family
wanna go back to normal,
like how you used to live, right?
I can help you do that.
so when you meet Kkwang-chul,
just tell me when
and where it's happening.
I'll set you free from that bastard.
I promise I'll set you free.
[mellow music playing]
Fucking hell. Dammit.
Yong-soo died last night.
[man] His driver is a friend of mine.
[Jung-bae] We should
probably start moving, sir.
Isn't his son about three years old now?
Sir, we really don't have time for this.
He also said Kang-jun killed too.
That bastard's alive.
There must be a reason why.
[opera music playing]
[breathing faintly]
[inhales shakily]
[shoveling]
[Messenger] You have to get rid
of all of them,
from Kwang-chul to that professor.
Kwang-chul, that prick,
thinks way too much.
If you do a good job with that,
we'll become great partners.
After everything is over,
what about me, then?
Will you let me live?
[opera music continues]
You need to stop thinking too much.
It could kill you.
- [opera music continues]
- [exhales smoke]
[volume increases]
[sighs]
[snorting]
[sniffles]
[breathing heavily]
[music ends]
[Kang-jun] You know
the guy you buried, Han-cheol?
That punk was a cop.
[phone vibrating]
PROFESSOR PARK
Yes?
Where do I need to go?
You and your family
wanna go back to normal
like how you used to live, right?
I can help you do that.
So when you meet Kkwang-chul,
just tell me when
and where it's happening.
I'll set you free from that bastard.
I promise I'll set you free.
My family seemed to have a harder time
when I was living at home.
A family man?
[scoffs] Not in the slightest.
I was worse than a stranger to them.
I was their enemy.
So that's why I left home,
and I've been gone 30 years now.
Ah, come on,
I'm telling you everything as it is!
My son and his wife have been
getting pushed around by Kwang-chul,
and this is where they've ended up.
I'm not sure if you're aware,
but my grandson is in the hospital
for his surgery.
My son got into all that shit
just to protect his family.
[sighs]
Honestly,
why do we even have cops?
Aren't you supposed
to protect families like this
from evil bastards like that?
If he's innocent, he shouldn't worry.
[Deuk-soo] Listen, Ms. Detective Lady.
My kid didn't do it.
I don't know
what kind of illegal investigation
put you in this situation,
but digging up dirt on the family
of a wanted old man?
Don't you think that's a bit cruel?
I also have connections
to some cops, you know.
And if that doesn't work out,
I can call the press.
It'll be better for both of us
if you drop this.
Don't you think?
[laughs]
- [laughs]
- You guys are one hell of a family.
Listen, old man,
I've got nothing to lose.
[sighs]
Your son has a choice.
Either confess, or die.
Tell him to choose.
[guitar playing]
[line ringing]
Let's do this.
Since the cops
are still thinking you're just a pawn
go to jail for something like assault,
about six months.
- I'll help you out.
- [spits]
[Joo-hyun] But you have to give up the cop
who's been exploiting you.
You're out of time. You're dead
even if the cops don't get you.
[Kang-jun] You want me to go to jail?
That's helping me out?
Call that a deal, you fucking bitch?
[Joo-hyun] Take it while you can.
For a thug like you,
choice is a luxury you can't afford.
Choose, or you're dead.
[sighs] Fuck me.
- [tires screeching]
- [horn blaring]
Don't worry, ma'am,
the test results will be out very soon.
Okay.
And the doctor will go over
all the details with you in just a minute.
- Okay, I understand.
- Mm-hmm.
[sighs]
Mom.
Dad's in a dangerous state right now.
He commits crimes or something
with the guy next door.
There's a bunch of money hid away
in the garage.
There's no way
Dad could earn that much money.
You have to stop him
before he gets in trouble.
Damn, this is supposed to be a secret.
I'm just letting you know.
Crime is on a whole other level.
You should ask the cops for help
before it's too late.
[mellow music playing]
- [sighs]
- [Dong-ha] I'll take care of it.
Please just trust me this once.
Just worry about Hyun-woo.
[monitor beeping]
Men think that if they fall,
their families will fall with them.
But really,
women hold the family together.
Protect them. Your kids.
What can I do
to protect my family completely?
Completely?
Yes.
So no one has to get hurt. None of us.
All you have to do is tell me the truth
about why your husband
is involved with your neighbor.
[sighs]
When he first found the van,
he said there was no one there.
That it was just a bag of money.
[Joo-hyun] No one was there?
So where was the van, then?
On the road to our neighborhood.
It was parked about 30 kilometers out
when they found the van.
Who do you think
was the one that moved it?
[inhales deeply]
My husband wasn't involved in that.
There had to have been something else
besides money inside it.
Your husband probably hid
and that's why
he got involved with Kwang-chul.
Doesn't sound like
you know your husband very well.
You're his family, and you didn't even
know he was delivering drugs.
All right, then.
If there's anything else, call me.
I've told you everything that I know.
You're going to leave
our family alone now, right?

[monitor beeping]
[phone vibrating]
[sighs]
[phone continues vibrating]
[breathes deeply]
[Dong-ha on phone] How's Hyun-woo?
He just fell asleep.
We're waiting for the test results.
Where are you? Hyun-woo's been asking.
I'll be back.
[Eun-ju] Hey, that female cop
from our neighborhood came by for a visit.
But
[Dong-ha] Eun-ju.
You didn't do anything.
I'm the one who took you to Busan
and you didn't know about anything.
Take good care of Hyun-woo.
Don't worry about it.
It'll all be over after tonight.
[call disconnects]
[inhales deeply]
["Wellerman" playing]
DANMIN HOSPITAL
[Kang-jun] Are you sure he's coming?
He'll be here. We planned on meeting here.
And you're going to
let our family go, right?
Don't worry, huh?
[phone vibrating]
[Messenger] What about Kwang-chul?
[Kang-jun] I'm headed to the meeting spot.
I'll get rid of him tonight.
- [Messenger] And the professor?
- [Kang-jun] Him too.
[music continues]
After everything is over
what about me, then?
[breathes shakily]
Will you let me live?
[music continues]
[Joo-hyun] Let's do this.
Since the cops are still thinking
you're just a pawn,
go to jail for something like assault,
about six months. I'll help you out.
[Kang-jun] What?
What'd you say about Han-cheol?
[Jung-kook] He's an undercover agent.
You need to get rid of him.
- Or we'll be fucked.
- [Kang-jun] Whoa, whoa, woah, wait.
- You're saying Han-cheol is a cop?
- [Jung-kook] Yeah.
But he's close to finding out about us.
Remember, if I die, so do you.
[Kang-jun] Fuck. This is fucked up.
Come on. You really wanna play that dirty?
[Jung-kook] You guys exposed yourselves,
like idiots.
[Kang-jun] Fuck!
Then what do you want me to do?
[Jung-kook] Kill him.
And bring the money.
If anything goes wrong,
it was them who took the money.
[breathing shakily]
[breathing heavily]
YOO HAN-CHEOL
HANKUK UNIVERSITY
[phone vibrating]
[Yun-seok] Detective?
- [Joo-hyun] Did you get what I sent?
- [Yun-seok] What?
[Joo-hyun] I can trust you, right?
It's the evidence to prove she's a rat.
[call disconnects]
KANG JOO-HYUN
UNTITLED
[sniffles]
[car approaching]
[phone vibrating]
Yes.
He's almost here.
All of them?
Yes. Got it, sir.
[sniffles]
[breathing shakily]
[chilling music plays]
Shit [gasps]
Shit, shit [groans]
[sighs]
All you have to do
is just lay low, my friend.
We'll take care of everything.
How did you get involved
in something like this?
People like us will never ever
get a happy ending.
[car door opens]
[door closes]
[Kang-jun] Hey!
I'm here.
[suspenseful music playing]
[screaming in pain]
[breathing shakily]
[brakes screeching]
[sighs]
Here, it'll be your last.
Yong-soo's dead. You know that?
[breathing heavily]
You guys will soon be dead too,
you fucking idiots.
All this shit happened because of you.
[Kang-jun] No, it's not.
It's all because of that punk.
Because that fucking bastard
decided to steal the money from us.
That's why.
Han-cheol, that prick.
You didn't know
that he was a cop, did you?
If only he would've died first,
it would've all been over.
But that son of a bitch over there
took off with the money,
that's why all of this happened.
[breathes shakily]
We
were one family.
Family.
You set this all up to kill your family.
Did you not?
[Kang-jun] No.
Sangseon made me do that.
I'm sorry. Okay?
I'm really sorry.
Fuck
He said he would kill me.
What the fuck was I supposed to do?
Let's ditch Sangseon, okay?
[police sirens wailing]
I made a deal with a cop, and she promised
that if we help them catch Sangseon,
all of us
would be okay.
That's what she promised me.
[breathing heavily]
[sirens wailing]
- [shoveling]
- [Joo-hyun panting]
[panting]
[choking]
[breathing shakily]
[Dong-ha] When it comes to survival,
the best trait
is not good,
but evil.
