Where'd you get them?

I just found them.

Bullshit. You're selling

them under Tae-min.

Why do this to an innocent guy?

Stop jerking me around,

motherf***er!

Alright. That's enough.

You're f***ed now.

Want one?

No thanks.

Nobody's hungry around here, huh?

You ever kill a man?

What the hell?

Ever tasted human flesh?

What are you doing?

When I was up North,

my friend was dying.

His last wish was to eat

all the meat he wanted.

So?

I sold my bike,

and bought all the meat I could.

We ate all of it.

Maybe because he got his wish,

he died two days later.

I was at his funeral,

when someone came up to me,

He wanted to buy the body,

so they could use it for med-school.

So I sold it.

His body would go to waste

in the ground anyway.

When I got money, the first thing

I wanted was to eat meat.

So I went back to the market.

The guy who bought my friend

was selling meat.

A basket full of meat.

I can't get rid of that taste.

How about I take a bite of you?

No one's gonna miss you.

I sold them!

- I sold them!

- What?

The guns!

I sold the guns.

Boss.

Good work.

Just doing my job.

Hey.

Hey, Russian...

What?

Now go turn yourself in.

Or else you can die.

You guys will do

anything for cash.

I can't trust you.

That's not true,

I wouldn't betray you!

Bury him.

Please! Don't do this to me!

This is the shoot-out

at the station.

It's the third one this year.

Russian guns were found inside the car.

Tae-min has been working

with the Russians for three years now.

And we've received information

that all firearms go through him.

LEE Young-Chun.

A NK refugee, ex-special forces.

He was in charge of weapons,

but this is our main guy.

KIM Hyuk.

Three years ago,

he was captured in Thailand

and is still serving time there.

No. He's out.

He's coming back soon.

You didn't know?

Is he still following us?

Yes, sir.

Stop the car.

What do you want?

Why are you following me?

Don't worry.

Keep doing your thing.

And what is it I do?

Plenty.

Drugs, whores, guns, murder...

Then instead of following me,

just arrest me, jackass.

That's my plan,

so get moving, motherf***er.

Look, it's been over a year.

You must be pretty

f***ing incompetent.

Or maybe I'm just innocent.

Learn to accept it.

And don't just learn how to swear.

Just like his big brother.

A little b*tch.

CHUNG Tae-min.

Stop right there.

F*** off.

Get me, if you can.

Stop!

Get off him!

Listen up, a**hole.

Hyuk is not my brother.

Got that?

Look who it is.

What's with the clothes?

Welcome back.

Why would you do that!

What are you doing here?

How could you?

Go back!

I said go!

I forgot the kimchi stew.
