The Sheriff In Town (보안관)

An aged trench coat, sunglasses, a matchstick in his mouth...

He rescues his friend while all bandaged up.

Chow Yun Fat. How could we forget?

Today's last song

is from the legendary Hong Kong Noire on bromance.

Here's 'Mark's Theme' from 'A Better Tomorrow'.

Not him.

Today's a bust too.

Will Il Sik really show up here?

This shit comes with the job.

Wish I could have some grilled eel with So Ju before taking a nap.

Grilled eel sounds good!

Suspect Shin Il Sik located! Send backup!

Let's go!

Sir!

Let's wait for backup!

We can't take them down alone when they're high.

SIU will be here soon!

After all our hard work?

If we catch Popeye through Il Sik, we'll go home in glory!

Let's go in!

Shit!

Il Sik! Long time no see!

Put that down!

Put it down!

You brought an axe?

Il Sik!

Stop!

Freeze!

Sorry, Detective Choi! Maybe next time, alright?

Stay seated, you bastard!

But you see, I'm a little too busy for a drink…

Gotta go!

Take care!

Stop!

Stay still!

Sir! Il Sik!

Cuff him!

Farewell!

Detective Cho!

Jong-chul!

Hang in there!

Jong-chul!

Wait!

I'm sorry.

Please don't kill me.

I'm sorry. I don't know anything.

Spare me…

Says he didn't know it was meth.

No criminal records.

He was on an ocean liner for 3 years.

The poor guy got unlucky.

You sure you never saw them before?

Never heard of Popeye, either?

I don't know anything, sir.

I was just told to deliver a bag...

Kijang is your home town?

I know everyone there.

I lived there till I was 7.

Two girls and a son…

Why so many when you can't earn much?

So that's 5 mouths to feed, including your wife?

She left me 3 years ago, and haven't heard from her since.

But my mother lives with us.

How old is she?

She's 72 years-old this year, sir.

She has diabetes and can't move well.

Sir… Could you help me just once?

If I go to prison, what about my kids and mother?

I can't go.

Please help me.

I feel bad for you.

But a cop got stabbed. This is serious stuff.

If you confess as I told you, you'll be out in 2 years.

Yes, sir.

Don't say anything stupid that'll get you a longer time.

Understand?

Yes, sir. - Sir?

The transport bus is waiting, and everyone's in a ruckus.

Come on. At least let the poor bastard eat first!

Can't they wait 5 minutes?

It's okay. Eat up.

Yes, sir.

Go on.

Could I ask you for a favour, sir?

What is it?

I had no chance to say goodbye to my mother and my kids…

Okay. Don't worry.

I'll never forget your kindness. Thank you, sir.

How's Jong-chul doing?

He's out of surgery, but still unconscious.

The disciplinary committee wants you.

Inspector Choi Dae-ho ignored the command system...

and lost a prime suspect through arbitrary actions.

Thus, he is discharged.

To my beloved family...

I hope you are well, Mother.

I miss those times when all seven of us were together.

I'm so sorry for not taking better care of you and dad.

Something came up, and I have to be away for 2 years.

Tell Seung and my 2 daughters that I'm very sorry.

What a damn fine day.

What's that?

Let him ride.

It's a headache to mess with him.

You should greet him later. - Who is he?

Nothing gets done here without going through him.

He's like our town sheriff!

Look, Chief Choi.

Kang-gon has it rough.

The parasol rentals last year and now, the tube rentals this year!

The marine veterans took them all!

Of course he had to have a few drinks, because life sucks.

Still, he said an hour nap before he took off.

But a license suspension? That's too much!

He delivers water for a living. How can he do his business now?

Since when did Kijang people become so heartless?

You're in big trouble.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why I did that.

Chief, I don't mean to burden you.

Lee Kang-gon.

Know what you did wrong?

You ran into a problem, and you didn't come to me first.

That was your biggest mistake.

It's been a while since I was last in a cop uniform,

but this I can still handle.

Right.

Cheer up, pal.

Yes, Chief. Thank you!

There you go!

He's finally smiling.

Thanks.

You're our man! - I'm off!

See you later!

What are you doing on someone else's car?

Geez!

This car looked a bit suspicious, that's all.

What's that?

It’s knotweed extract. Prevent hair loss.

We should start preparing.

Not me, pal!

There are no baldies in my family!

Just wide foreheads.

Really? Then forget it.

Just leave it! I'll give it to Deok-man.

Okay then.

This is for your hair, and not for your stomach!

NC has won 7 straight games against Lotte.

How can they lose this?

It's over for them this year!

Switch over to NC. That'll keep you sane.

If you don't want to, then don't!

Wow!

The kimchi smells good!

I'm hungry.

Where's the boiled meat?

What meat! Forget it.

Where'd you run off to all day without tending the shop?

He never helps out at the store. It's not fair!

Why's it so hot today?

Honey? Any food left?

Dad! Go get dressed!

Watch out, pal! Boom! Pow!

Hold on!

Will you save me like him? - Of course! I'm a man!

Like hell...

Bang! Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Chow Yun Fat! Help!

Who dropped this big one?

Here! Nice catch!

What a big catch!

Chief Choi! - See you later!

Those anchovies are looking good!

Hello, sir.

Where's Deok-man? Why isn't he working?

He said he was going to the bank a while ago.

That fool! Not again!

Here.

You can't get this anywhere. Try it.

No, you eat it.

Dang! Drinking in broad daylight?

Fool!

Why aren't you watching the store?

I was about to go.

Fool.

Kijang's Sophie Marceau.

What's with the long face?

Poor Hee Soon!

She started a bar with her alimony, but business is way down!

I didn't ask you! Get your hands off her! What's with you?

Why you...

It's the busy season. So what's up?

You know, I really wish I had someone to help me out.

I'm going crazy!

Some new guy opened up a Karaoke bar.

They have Russian girls there.

He's got connections at City Hall, too.

So he gets away with everything.
