Do you want to hear my story?

Long time ago.

There was a
black looking bastard.

He received no education

and he got abandoned from
his own parents.

But he tried to survive in Seoul

where he knows none.

He moved sluggishly like
a maggot in excrement.

One day...he was so hungry,

so he
sneaked in to a restaurant

And ate little bit of
sushi and some drinks.

But he was found by
the owner of restaurant

and locked up in jail
for the first time of his life.

Do you know where that restaurant
located? It's right this spot.

Can you imagine what happened
to that black looking bastard?

He is trying to build

new building in this very spot now.

He ground out an oath while
he was locked in the jail.

Wait and see what will gonna
happen to you fucking bastards.

Makdong, what's your dream?

Yes...

-Boss.
-Who's looking for me?

Hey! Viet Cong!

Who the hell is it?

I'm not sure, but they were
waiting for you for long time

You sure looks
better then before!

That asshole was as
black as real Viet Cong!

His temper was as
dirty as Viet Cong.

That bastard grew up
only with his guts!

-Boss, do you want me to beat them up?
-Hold on.

Long time no see, brother.

I'm deeply moved for
you calling me brother.

I thought you forgot all about me

since you haven't come to see me
while serving a prison term.

I haven't got enough time to go
there since I was busy.

I heard how you've been.

Did you quit from
prostitute business?

Just let me know if
you have nothing to do.
I will help you.

There is something you
have to help me already.

I'm gonna open a new nightclub
just across the road.

And I want your help.

I heard you are a
big man in this town.

Long time ago I had this puppy

which I used to kick
whenever I want to.

And one day this puppy grow
up and became big dog.

But still this dog can't even bark at me.

Do you know why?

Because he is

so afraid of me.

Bye. See you again.

Boss.

Sir, you know well

how I grew up
in this town, don't you?

It took me ten years to
get rid of all the gangs.

I finally got this place
after the ten year war.

But this Yanggil Kim,
this asshole is trying to

Start to ruin me right after
he released from the jail.

I'm sorry talking about
boring stuffs

while partying for your promotion.

Congratulations sir.
You did a greatjob.

Greatjob? Cut it out.

I worked in police station for thirty years
but I'm only a section chief.

Do you feel the frailty
of human life for that?

-Hey, what are you doing?
-Why don't you sing a song?

Call band in.

I want to talk between
you and me alone.

Yes, sir. Everyone get out.
