THIS SERIES IS INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
BUT CHARACTERS AND EVENTS HAVE BEEN REIMAGINED FOR DRAMATIC PURPOSES
What is he plotting?
Damn it.
Oh, this barbaric prick…
According to Chen Zhen,
if we use the Chinatown route he uses to sell his meth,
we can sell one and a half tons of coke in three weeks.
One and a half tons in three weeks?
What do you think, Byun? Is it doable?
As you know, the Chinatowns in Europe are huge.
I think it's possible.
You know,
I'm worried I might end up helping Chen Zhen's career grow by doing this.
Once we sell this batch,
we can keep working with him or stop.
Okay, then David thinks
we should work with the Chinese guys.
What do you two think?
Will you be able to trust the heathens that worship other gods?
Especially when we have the option of Puerto Rico.
If I'm being honest,
Chen Zhen and I aren't on good terms,
so I'd want to avoid working with him.
But since we're talking about money,
it would be petty to let our issues get in the way.
Whatever best serves you, I'll just say "amen" and follow you.
I need to speak with David in private.
Will you please excuse us, Preacher and Deacon?
Yes, Pastor.
Pastor.
If we succeed in selling this batch,
your cocaine kingdom
will finally be complete.
After that, you'll be able to tear anyone that bothers you into shreds.
I came here for Chen Zhen, but he isn't here.
What is up with this bastard? Not picking up my calls.
By the way,
if Jeon and Chen Zhen team up,
doesn't that mean our operation will go down the drain?
If it doesn't work out,
I suggest you head to the US Embassy.
But if I disappear in this situation,
Jeon will find out I'm the rat. Do you think he'll just leave me alone?
I'm sure he'll send someone to Korea to harm my family.
And more importantly…
More importantly,
if I go back to Korea like this, the anger will keep me up at night.
Then do this one last thing for me.
Please convince Jeon.
I'm sure he's hesitant to work with Chen. They're enemies, after all.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, please trust me one last time.
All right, fine. I'll try and trust you on this.
But what if I try to convince him, and it doesn't work?
Then I'll completely trust your judgment as a field agent.
Okay, I'll do as you ask since you say this will be the last time.
Okay.
Such a nice night with the moonlight and the cool breeze.
Mr. Kang, come in and get your blood circulating.
I bet getting our hands on some money will help our circulation better,
considering the structure of our DNA.
That is the best, you're right.
Then, why don't you choose the Puerto Rico route?
I heard there's a deadline.
Mr. Kang,
have you ever heard of Pablo Escobar, by any chance?
Pablo?
Guess not.
He was the world's most powerful drug lord 30 years ago.
At one point, his yearly income topped that of General Motors,
a company that makes cars.
He even had Colombian politicians in the palm of his hand.
He was basically a king.
But do you know how he ended up?
He was hunted down by the DEA
and got shot while being chased on the street, wearing slippers.
Mr. Kang.
That's America.
And that's why I promised the president
I would never get involved with the US.
We won't be selling to the US.
We will only be passing by.
And you heard that Puerto Rico isn't even part of the US.
Yes, I know.
But the Cali Cartel might get touchy
and blame us for potentially invading their turf.
All of North America is their territory.
I'm considering all possibilities, so let's just be patient.
Well, I talked to Goo earlier and…
He said
there's no other way into Korea other than Puerto Rico.
I mean, do we really need to be in this situation?
Just because someone is being cowardly and anxious?
Do you have to touch the fire to know it's hot?
Don't make me say it twice.
If you keep rejecting this, I'll have to make a tough choice.
I mean, I can't keep doing this here--
I thought you were smarter than this.
Why do you keep saying the same thing? Why is that?
Because you're too scared to get what I'm saying, damn it!
What the fuck did you say?!
A demon's possessed you! You've got a demon inside you!
You son of a bitch.
The demon should be killed. Don't you think so?
I know you don't have any money.
If you kill me now, you'll be broke. Are you ballsy enough for that?
Kill me!
You and I both would rather die here than live like beggars. Am I wrong?
So kill me now and starve to death.
Let's fucking die together!
You've been possessed by a wicked demon.
That happens when one's spirit grows weak.
Go get some rest.
Your body must recover
for your spirit to recover.
You're fucking unbelievable!
I really hope you find happiness
that's tiny as a skate's dick, you chicken!
SANGMAN, TALKING TO THE PASTOR IS LIKE PULLING TEETH
I'LL DO THINGS MY WAY
SANGMAN
DECLINE
My God.
Boss.
I got a call from David.
They are handing over Byun.
That went too well for Chen Zhen, that dirty bastard.
Something's off.
Make sure there's nothing
that'll put us in danger.
Excuse me, sir.
If you ask him about Chen Zhen now, he'll find out we've been wiretapping him.
You know that, right?
Are you confessing to wiretapping me?
What am I plotting with Chen Zhen?
I bet you can find out yourself with wiretapping, tailing, or whatever.
If you continue to act like this, we cannot proceed with the operation.
Do you think I'm doing this for the operation?
No, I'm doing it because my neck is on the line.
If the operation goes haywire and Jeon and Chen Zhen team up,
I will die!
Can't you just help me?
You promised to trust my judgment as a field agent.
Well, what do you need me to do?
You can track Jeon's movements and whereabouts, right?
Jeon is on the move right now.
As I told you before, the operation won't go according to how you want.
Staying alive is my top priority right now.
Whatever you end up doing,
I hope you succeed.
For now, focus on tracking Jeon's location
and ask the US Embassy for cooperation, just in case.
UNITED STATES EMBASSY, PARAMARIBO
Quickly, get in!
Three green vans have just left Chinatown through the main entrance.
No unusual sightings.
Good work.
Stay focused and keep watch.
Call Chen Zhen. Tell him to get ready to finish this.
We'll move the goods up first.
CHEN ZHEN
SENDING
Go, get out of the car!
Move! Hurry up!
Those fucking bastards!
Shit!
Out of the way!
Hurry!
Go!
Those fucking pricks!
Fuck!
Get up!
Fuck!
Chase him! Quickly!
Damn it. Where did they all go?
Ah fuck!
CHEN ZHEN
Fuck! You fucking idiot!
Don't worry about them.
Hurry up.
I heard there was a mass killing in Paramaribo.
Is this what you planned, Mr. Kang?
Things didn't go as I planned.
Jeon survived.
Head to the US Embassy immediately.
We can't continue with this operation anymore.
I'll take care of the incident and make sure
your family stays safe.
Hold on.
No. Jeon and Chen Zhen can never be on good terms after this.
Jeon's only option now is Puerto Rico.
I think I should stay here.
There's no way I can help you. It's just too dangerous.
Tell me something I don't know.
I'll go meet with that bastard Jeon again.
I'll call you again, Sangman. Make sure you eat well.
Yeah?
Mr. Kang, the pastor has called you.
What an honor.
On the way here, I heard that all hell broke loose today.
Then you probably know
the Chinese punks got to the warehouse.
Yeah, I heard they took everything.
So we gathered everyone who knew of the location of the warehouse.
Great.
But I don't know it.
Come on.
You've been there before.
Hey, you guys covered my eyes. How would I have known where it is?
It's not like I have X-ray vision.
Why did you leave without telling me?
I'm flustered to hear you ask me that since it was your fault.
Is this the army? Do I need your permission to go to the hospital?
Pastor.
Dealing with him peacefully is never going to work.
If you let me, I'll beat a confession out of this son of a bitch.
You psycho fuck. Have you lost it?
Hey, it's not my fault you got beaten up like a freaking idiot.
The warehouse? Huh?
You put a bag on my head, affecting my high blood pressure.
Only you guys know the exact location!
So you can go around tormenting and killing each other, for all I care!
Both business-wise and character-wise,
I'm disappointed on all fronts.
Let's not ever meet again. Well, we don't have a reason to.
You should witness God's will before you go.
Why are you in such a rush?
Pastor, didn't I tell you that there was someone I suspected?
Who planned the route when the Brazil incident happened?
You didn't let the same person plan the route this time, did you?
Then we have the answer.
We know who the rat is, so why are you dragging this on?
Shit!
You're asking the wrong question.
Now,
who benefits the most if our deal with Chen Zhen falls through?
Unbelievable.
The only person who wants Puerto Rico to be the only option for the pastor…
Who is it?
Squeak.
How dare you raise your voice, you fucking rat?
I had Sangjun do something for me when I left the mansion today.
I'm sorry to say that I had him go through the cars and the rooms…
of everyone that's here.
Of course…
that includes you, Mr. Kang, okay?
So,
who is this rat?
Do away with him, once and for all.
Mr. Kang, what do you think of God's will?
Do you like it?
This classless prick
had conspired with Chen Zhen to kill me.
This was hidden inside a secret compartment in David's trunk.
A phone that was never surrendered to us.
We looked up the call history to find the most frequently dialed number.
Fuck.
It was from Chinatown.
Well, David was the most suspicious one.
But the thing is,
no matter how much I think about it, it's strange.
The David I know is a spineless piece of shit,
and he would never do something like this on his own.
He probably just did as Chen Zhen said.
But Chen Zhen has shit for brains too.
There's got to be one more person who is controlling everything.
Whether there are one or two more people, sort it out for yourself.
Can we please start wrapping up our business now?
How do we do that?
Puerto Rico?
Yeah.
If we had just gone with Puerto Rico from the beginning--
How do we do that? Don't you know Chen Zhen took the coke?
Then we get it back! No?
Are you just going to let him have it?
I heard you have some Chinese friends.
Make some calls, and see if they know anything!
Don't…
Don't be ridiculous.
What? Is it that hard to go around and make a few calls?
Are you all going to sit back and be so unproductive?
So frustrating.
Pastor.
Suriname is tiny, right?
If we poke around, we'll get something eventually.
The pastor isn't done talking.
You can go when he's done.
I can't believe this.
Are you sure you're Koreans? Why are you slacking off?
There isn't a second to waste. Let's go get the coke back.
Are we not going to?
Deacon.
Let him go. He says he'll get our coke back.
Wow!
SANGMAN, I THINK I'M DONE WITH THE PASTOR I'M MOVING ON MY OWN NOW
Hey, go back!
Move back!
Go back. Only Chinese can enter.
What is he saying?
You motherfucker.
I was going to wait a while
and tell Jeon where Chen Zhen had hidden the goods.
But the bastard's suddenly acting all weird.
Yes, we were checking that through a different channel.
And you know David, Jeon's legal advisor, right?
He's dead.
Jeon shot him.
Yes, I'm aware.
Was he…
Wait.
Damn.
Jeon's guys are on my tail.
You have to take care of this quickly, okay?
Chen Zhen keeps calling
and urging me to find a way to kill Jeon.
What the…
-Mr. Kang, what's going on? -What the fuck?
What the fuck are you doing?
-Son of a bitch. You're the one to ask! -What do you mean?
I was on a business call!
Business, huh? I like business too.
This is Kim Heewon.
Our business is a mess, Agent Choi.
Is this a W3 situation?
Yes. I'll put K on the phone again.
Hello?
Mr. Kang.
He is the NIS agent I told you about.
I ask that you cooperate with him.
I don't know what's going on.
But okay.
I will contact you again.
Let's talk on the way.
We can't be seen.
Lee and I are here to tail you on Jeon's order.
You started off in Chen Zhen's gang and made your way to work for Jeon?
It's a long story.
Were you the one behind the ambush at the warehouse?
Yes.
Killing Jeon solves nothing.
If it were that easy, I would've already done it!
Wow, if you guys are that smart,
why do you need a civilian to do this dangerous job?
How ungrateful. I'm helping you at a cheap price.
I led Jeon to shoot someone else in order to save your life.
How ungrateful.
You're the one who should be thanking me.
You will only do as Mr. Choi and I say from now on.
Your dogmatic behavior can affect the lives of the captives
and even all of Suriname. Are we clear?
Yes, I get what you're saying,
but I don't like your tone.
Just how old are you?
What? I'm being more respectful than when I'm being Byun.
We're the same age.
You were gonna tell Jeon where Chen Zhen hid the coke, right?
So you could lead him to Puerto Rico.
Yes, but Chen Zhen chickened out. Things got annoying.
I was also told to find the location of the coke
using my past Chinese connections.
Is there any place in Chinatown where he might have hidden the cocaine?
There are about five or six places.
But Chinatown is blocked off now, so there's no way to go in and check.
So I was thinking,
Chen Zhen still answers your calls, right?
PRESIDENTIAL PALACE, SURINAME
Come up.
Come in!
General Henk, this is the president.
Which troop is available to be mobilized now?
To Chinatown.
Everybody, fire!
Boss! Soldiers have barged into Chinatown!
They're killing our brothers down there!
Hurry up!
-Get more things! -Find your places!
This is an operation to root out the gang that is involved in murders and drugs.
We will not harm innocent civilians, so stay in your homes.
I repeat.
This is an operation to root out the gang involved in murders and drugs.
We will not harm innocent civilians,
so stay in your homes.
Shoot them!
PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE, SURINAME
The drug ring that has persecuted
and killed the people of Suriname
has been rooted out.
Innocent lives have been sacrificed due to this war,
but we won in the end.
Remind yourself of the motto of Suriname.
Justice, piety, and fidelity.
Today, we made a statement.
With piety, we found justice and protected our fidelity.
We thank God for protecting us.
Fellow citizens, let us all pray
for Suriname tonight.
Amen.
NIS SAFE HOUSE, WASHINGTON D.C.
Today, the Lord of Hosts took revenge on His enemies.
Today is the day of vengeance for our Lord.
The Lord's sword shall be full with the enemies it devoured!
-Amen! -Amen!
Today, everything happened
as I had prophesized and as God had promised.
Our good brothers who sacrificed their lives
have passed through the gates of heaven.
Suriname has now become the land of God and no one else,
so let's lift our praises to the Lord!
-Amen! -Amen!
I heard you played a big role in luring that Chen Zhen bastard out of hiding?
I did help.
Many upsetting things happened, but you stood your ground.
I'll give you that.
What tree is more firmly rooted than the tree of money?
But after a few big storms,
it's gotten harder to hold out.
Pastor.
How did it go?
Of Chen Zhen's Western Europe dealers,
the mainland Chinese are uncooperative.
If we get rid of those guys and find a new route,
we will need more time.
So how long will it take to sell all our goods?
At least
three to four months.
Hey there, Kang.
What's up? Have you been eating well?
Hey, I had so much for breakfast that my stomach's about to burst.
Sangman, Pastor Jeon would like to speak with you.
It's been a while, Elder Goo.
Oh, yes.
So, what is it?
SANGMAN
I'll make it simple.
Is the Puerto Rico route still available?
Why do you ask?
I was wondering if we could let bygones be bygones
and work together again.
How could I trust you?
You might back out again at the last minute.
I understand your concern.
So I'm going to do something that will restore your trust in me.
I don't think it'll be easy to trust each other again.
I know that.
Let me just confirm one thing.
If I send all the goods at once, will I be paid immediately?
Well, after our deal fell through, the funds were sent elsewhere.
So I would need to check.
But by the time Kang arrives with the goods,
I should have the cash to send back with him.
But before that,
what's this something you're saying you'll do?
If you confirm that for me,
I will send the goods to Puerto Rico immediately.
"Immediately"?
Just how soon is that?
It isn't that hard to ask for a plane from the Surinamese government, so…
I can get it shipped in three hours.
Will you accept the goods?
You have a deal.
Good, it's settled.
Great work, Sihyeon.
You did great.
-Good work. -Great work!
Mr. Kang, let's get ready.
Nice.
The deep-rooted tree finally bears some fruit.
