14 YEARS AGO
SEONGJO: (OVER RADIO) Bravo's location is compromised!
Send backup now!
There's no backup. You must hold out.
SEONGJO: For fuck's sake! Do you want us to all die here?
-(ENGINE REVVING) -(TIRES SCREECHING)
Control, Alpha's four o'clock, east. RPG 100m away. Take it out now!
JINMAN: Control will take out the RPG. Stay where you are.
MAN: Four o'clock, RPG!
RPG eliminated.
Sir, if we get hit with one more RPG,
we're all done for.
Honey! Mom!
-I want to go home. -If you want to see your honey and mom,
lower your head a little more. Okay?
Sir!
We have to get out of here now! Or we'll all die!
Seongjo's in danger too!
Listen up.
Our mission is to make sure he gets back to Korea safely.
That's more important than our lives, okay?
God damn it!
Hang on for three more minutes.
If we can't reach Seongjo, we'll make our way to Bale's car. Got it?
TWIN 1: Sir, Bale has left area of operations and is moving towards Bravo.
What?
(STRAINING)
Goodness!
That son of a bitch.
Get lost, asshole. Damn it!
Thanks.
-(GRUNTS) -Whoa.
You saved my life.
Great job, boy!
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) Don't move!
Put your gun down!
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Put it down.
(GUNSHOTS)
Backup's here.
Great timing.
(MAN GROANING)
I'll stop the guys who climb the building.
You provide backup to our boys.
Now.
Fine. Okay.
How diligent.
Aren't we?
It's Seongjo.
-My God. -Great job.
Sir, I really thought today was the day! I mean it.
The day we go to hell?
When are we going to hell again?
-Not today! -Sure as hell not today!
TWIN 2: Sir?
Bale and Seongjo's team haven't reached the base camp yet.
Did you try the radio?
It's been an hour since radio silence.
Juncheol, get ready to head back first.
-Okay. -Let's go, Pasin.
Bale?
Do you copy? Answer me.
Where are you?
Do you think something happened?
To Bale?
He could survive hell and come back.
Okay? See?
After Bale went down, not a single person has come up here.
It means they're all dead.
Go down and search for him if you're that worried.
I'll catch my breath here.
So tired.
Hey, rookie.
You were great today.
I'd be in hell right now if it weren't for you.
Not today.
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) Not today!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE)
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) Help.
-Sir, help! Please! -My son!
My son... Our son!
Please, help him!
Help! Please save our son!
(SPEAKS KOREAN) What do you think you're doing?
Damn it.
You found him so quickly, didn't you?
Let's get going. Okay?
What's this?
What's wrong?
Did you see a ghost?
No, that's not...
Bale killed those civilians...
SEONGJO: What on earth...
Bale, don't tell me...
I didn't kill them.
He did.
Is that our story?
Then, what about him?
SEONGJO: You poor bastard.
How could you go like this?
We would've taken care of everything.
Right?
Jeong, you're here.
What happened?
This kid went overboard trying to save the civilians.
I told him that we should just leave. Damn.
It was just in his nature.
I hope you attain enlightenment, Seonghwan.
Wait.
There can't be witnesses.
A SHOP FOR KILLERS
EPISODE 6 JEONG JINMAN
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) The defendant's mission was to escort a Korean businessman.
The murder of these nine civilians occurred.
Murdered a kilometer away from the operation area,
and had nothing to do with him.
So let me ask you again.
Did you not see any civilians in the building
during the operation?
(SPEAKS KOREAN) How many times do I have to tell you? I didn't see anyone.
We barely survived.
How could we know who was coming and going?
What are you doing? Interpret.
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) No, I didn't.
Did you see the people on the roof being slaughtered?
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Those people on the rooftop weren't civilians.
They were rebels.
And those rebels killed the civilians
and even killed our man, Seonghwan!
You'd better interpret properly!
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) Please answer "yes" or "no."
He saved my life!
Your Honor, the prosecution would like to call on Mr. Jeong Jinman,
commanding officer of the operation, as a witness.
(SPEAKS KOREAN) You came late, so you don't know what happened.
Those bastards almost killed me so many times.
If it wasn't for Bale,
I wouldn't have been able to help you guys!
Also, that kid had a gun.
It was right to pull the trigger.
People like us are killed by child soldiers all the time.
The gun didn't even have a magazine.
There could've been a bullet in the chamber.
Bale...
said there couldn't be any witnesses.
What about it?
Witnesses to what?
The bullet lodged in Kim Seonghwan's head
was a .45 caliber.
But out of the guns we collected from the rebels,
there was no .45 caliber gun.
Are you digging up information on us now?
You just need to say what you saw.
Aren't I right?
PROSECUTOR: (SPEAKS ENGLISH) Let me ask you again.
During the mission,
did you or did you not see the defendant killing civilians?
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Have you ever looked at Bale's face properly?
-Excuse me? -Have you ever looked him in the eye?
He has no soul in his eyes.
He feels no guilt about killing someone. He's a natural combat machine.
He could become a hero if this were a war between nations, but...
Anyway,
did you know?
You and Bale are similar.
There's something creepy about Bale.
I'm not sure if he's a human or a monster, and he scares me sometimes,
but when we're together,
it reassures me that I won't die today.
That I won't be going to hell today. It puts me at ease!
But it's not like that with you.
To you, the mission is always more important than our lives.
Am I wrong?
YONGHAN: You're cold as ice too.
You keep your composure even in bloodbaths.
We're different.
I don't enjoy those situations.
But he...
YONGHAN: Jinman.
We're mercenaries. We're not soldiers anymore.
When you carry out those types of operations,
collateral damage is inevitable.
Inevitable collateral damage...
and deliberate murder are different.
WOMAN: (SPEAKS ENGLISH) Sir! I need your answer!
I didn't.
JUDGE: Due to lack of evidence,
the defendant was found
not guilty.
(SPEAKS KOREAN) You are both precious to me.
The only person who can control Bale
is you.
I understand.
But I have one condition.
From now on,
don't put Bale in my operations.
SEONGJO: What the fuck?
I think I got some on me.
Honestly, I didn't think our captain would do that in court.
I mean, he's always been such a stickler for rules.
I was worried that he'd screw us over in court.
But it turned out he was the loyal type, right?
Of course, family comes first.
I see him in a new light now.
Don't you agree?
Shut the fuck up, Seongjo.
Your dick will fall off.
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) You talk too much.
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Too... What?
Why are you coming to me?
Did you fucking curse at me?
By the way, you seemed very dissatisfied with the judge's ruling.
I'm more dissatisfied with your bad breath right now.
Go brush your teeth and play with the twins.
(LAUGHS)
What's with your head?
Your Korean has improved.
You can even joke around now.
It wasn't a joke.
Twins, take him away.
You little bastard...
They say experience is the best teacher...
Wow, you're fast.
Gurkhas sure are different.
Gurkhas are from Nepal. I'm from Thailand.
That's right.
You can bite, can't you?
But you know what? So can I.
Go ahead and try to kill me if you dare.
Yeah, okay. You'll die today.
Twins, you can come too.
Come on.
What the fuck?
Pasin.
Lee Seongjo, that's enough.
Twins, take your knives out.
Come at me all at once.
Come on.
BALE: Seongjo.
Sit down.
This bastard...
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Keep your promise.
I don't want Bale in this mission.
Right, I should keep my promise.
But...
the mission
is a little bigger this time.
It's the biggest drug supplier into China from Laos.
We can do it
-without Bale... -I know that.
It's not because I don't trust your abilities.
It's just...
If...
you fail this mission,
the company will bear a huge loss. That's the problem.
So for this mission,
upper management has made this decision. My hands are tied.
Also, there are no civilians who will get in the way
around the area of operations.
Yonghan!
I promise.
This is the last time.
After this mission, I'll exclude Bale from your operations.
Upper management and Bale have both agreed on this.
This will be the last.
It doesn't matter who you kill,
but capture this man alive.
Get him before Bale kills him.
Jinman.
Bale.
I'm warning you.
Don't cause trouble by acting alone like you did before.
I'll get Tao.
Bale.
Get back here.
I'm not done talking.
I'll get Tao. You take care of the rest.
If we run into any locals, we'll hand them over to the cops.
-Captain. -Got it?
You don't want me on the team, do you?
Am I wrong?
Stop talking nonsense and answer me.
The way you looked at me in court that day...
You looked like you wanted to kill me.
Answer me.
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) Okay.
Get up.
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Captain said to hand over unarmed men to the police.
They're armed now.
And I'm unarmed.
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMS)
(MAN WHIMPERING)
SEONGJO: God, it reeks of blood.
You cleaned the place up, huh?
Where's Captain?
(GROANING)
(SPEAKS LAO) Let go of me! Fuck!
(SPEAKS KOREAN) They got Tao.
(ALL CHEERING)
Already?
Seongjo.
-What's this! -Buy something nice.
Not hard cash.
Don't you know anything about loot?
Why do you have two?
Is it buy one, get one free?
Shit, mine feels kind of thin.
It seems they were partying with women.
Seongjo, I checked over there.
They indeed are twins.
They're both clueless.
Do you think I'm looking for survivors?
Wow, is that...
It's fake. Fuck.
What?
What's that?
Goodness.
Hey, did you check here?
Shit.
-(WOMEN SCREAMING) -What?
Oh, fuck. Didn't they say there wouldn't be civilians?
(WHIMPERING)
(SPEAKS ENGLISH) Help. Please. Help!
It's okay.
WOMAN: Please.
Stay here.
Don't worry.
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Hey, give me the thing.
Bale, what are you going to do with that?
(WOMEN SCREAMING)
(EXPLOSION)
Hey, Captain...
It's just, I found those women,
but they all died like that.
Was it you?
Wow... You sure are fast.
I clearly told you
not to act alone, and if civilians were found...
The general said there would be no civilians.
So you killed them all?
As always,
your eyes don't lie.
I guess today's the day I go to hell.
Pull it.
Jeong, we're family. Don't do this.
We'll all die if you don't stop.
Hey, put all your guns down.
What do you think you're doing to the captain?
Everyone, guns down.
I'm going to report this to the company.
Blast everything here and return to base.
All right. You all heard the man.
Let's finish this quickly and go home, okay?
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
(IN MANDARIN) If you're going to kill me, do it quickly.
(BREATH TREMBLING, SOBBING)
Who are you?
(SPEAKS KOREAN) What a long day.
Go on ahead. I'll stay here and...
Sir, I'll stay behind and help you.
No, I'm going to hand Bale over to the inspection team when we get there.
So make sure to stay with him.
(IN MANDARIN) Do you want to live?
Let's get out of here.
(IN KOREAN) You stayed behind to have some fun?
-(IN MANDARIN) Run! -(SOBBING)
(SPEAKS KOREAN) Do you know why I'm a mercenary?
I just like killing people.
That's why I applied to become one.
Because as long as I follow some simple rules,
I make money killing people as much as I want.
Protection of civilians and no friendly fire...
Don't try to force those principles on me.
It makes me
just want to kill everyone, allies or enemies.
In the end, we're the same type of people,
Jeong Jinman.
We both get paid to kill people.
Stop pretending to be righteous. It makes me gag.
That's the face you make when you're scared.
(GROANING)
Is that all you got?
(GUNSHOT)
(GROANS)
Jeong Jinman.
You listen to me.
If you don't kill me now,
I'm going to kill
your entire family,
your friends, and anyone who has anything to do with you.
Then, I'll kill you last.
Die, you son of a bitch!
(IN MANDARIN) We have to go now! Hurry!
(BEEPING)
JINMAN: (SPEAKS KOREAN) After we set the bombs,
as we were trying to leave the building,
we were met with the rest of the rebels.
They almost got me...
when Bale came to help.
We fought together.
Then, the bombs went off.
I was close to the entrance, so I was able to escape.
But Bale...
There was no time to stay and recover the body.
Is it because of what happened?
That's one of the reasons.
I've been working long enough.
I want a break.
LEE YONGHAN
It's me.
Put someone on Jeong Jinman.
My word.
Damn...
I thought you'd be different.
I guess psychopaths are just as mortal as us.
What's this?
Wow...
Hi, baby.
Why were you in the dark like that?
Thanks, Bale.
I thought Bale was made of steel.
But he went to hell before us.
Please attain enlightenment, Bale.
I hear you're taking time off.
I know it wasn't too long ago that we almost shot each other,
but I still think we're a team.
I hope you come back soon.
So that we can make more money with you.
(OBJECT CLATTERS)
(LINE RINGING)
JINCHEON: Hello?
Hey, it's me.
JINCHEON: Who is this?
It's me. Your little brother, Jeong Jinman.
JINCHEON: (SCREAMING) Hey, you little bastard!
Where are you?
Do you have any idea what's going on?
-You call after eight years... -It's good to hear your voice too.
JINCHEON: I don't feel the same at all!
(GASPS)
(WHISPERS) It's okay. He's your uncle.
(CRYING)
What's your name?
Jian. Jeong Jian.
A SHOP FOR KILLERS
(GUNSHOT)
Oh, my. What's gotten into me?
I'm on a roll today.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(GUNSHOT)
Bale?
