"Korea News"

"President Chun Today"

President Chun visited

police headquarters today

to award medals to officers

who apprehended North Korean spies.

The President expressed concerns

about the recent resurgence of

violent anti-state movements

instigated by radical left subversives,

and emphasized the importance of

protecting social order and national security.

What is it?

"Director Park Head of Anti-communist Investigations"

"North Korean-born, crossed into the South"

Open the gates.

"12:30PM Jan 14, 1987"

"Nam yeong-dong Anti-communist Division Facility"

Inspector.

"Dr. Oh Yun-sang Physician at Chung-Ang Hospital”

He's dead.

Bring him back.

Give me a cardiotonic.

Start the engine.

Sir, we have a situation.

Director's on his way.

He can't be resuscitated.

Move the body.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Hold it properly!

Eradicate communism!

Come on.

Who called the doctor?

I did, sir.

He was just a testifier, so...

Without reporting first?

You realize you made a witness.

What are you gonna do about this?

No need to fuss over nothing.

Go have lunch.

Attention!

Eradicate communism!

What should we do with the body?

Burn it.

As you command, sir.

Welcome.

Attention! Salute!

Eradicate communism!

Congratulations, Director.

I'm sorry I missed the ceremony.

"Director Jang / Head of Intelligence Agency"

"President's right-hand man"

The President wanted to

give this to you in person but...

It's an honor either way.

What have you got for me?

Kim Jung-nam?

He's the one behind a series of

communist activities of late.

He doesn't hold rank or have a title.

He wrote the decree for democratization

issued by the opposition leaders,

Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung.

You want to bring all of them in a single package?

If | can prove that they're supporters of Kim ll-sung,

we can wipe out those challenging

the reinstatement of the President.

You sure live up to your reputation.

The master of the Blue House may

come and go but you remain strong.

This man needs to be apprehended

before the new university semester.

Of course.

"Prosecutor Choi Seoul District Prosecutor's Office"

You said 5PM before!

Are you messing with me?

I don't remember.

I can't even remember what I had for lunch.

Look at you, filling the sacred soju bottles with gasoline...

-It's not gasoline. -What is it then?

It's paint thinner.

Don't get smart with me.

-Food delivery. -In there.

What else am I supposed to call it?

Having fun hanging out here?

Your parents must be so damn proud of you.

You little shit.

I'm screwed whatever I say.

Oh, no!

You shouldn't be eating that crap.

What brings you here at this hour?

Come with us.

I'll treat you to a proper dinner.

Sounds like an idea.

Where are we going?

Can you sign this for us?

No such thing as a free drink.

Using dirty tricks on me now?

Come on, Prosecutor.

Park Jong-chul, Seoul National University...

Died of a heart attack?

A 22-year-old?

Needs to be cremated tonight.

I'll get going.

Do stay and enjoy the rest of the night.

You deserve some down time.

There won't be any problems with that dead college kid, right?

Sure.

It's being taken care of.

"Authorization for cremation"

He's been dead for less than 8 hours.

Has the family seen the body?

They haven't, have they?

We obtained consent from his father at the Busan Police Station.

Who would agree to have his son cremated

without even seeing the body?

Who are you trying to kid?

This is Anti-communist matter. Just sign it.

Don't fucking tell me what to do.

Take the paper and get out.

Come on, cut us some slack.

Just sign the paper and let's get out of here.

All expense paid.

This is so sloppy that you're making me blush.

You need an autopsy before burial or cremation.

That's the law.

Yes, we know that.

But the powers-that-be want this wrapped up by morning.

What...

What powers?

The Intelligence Agency?

The Blue House?

Man

Help us out here.

Do the autopsy in the morning,

have it cremated by afternoon.

Damn, all soggy now.

See you again.

The crematorium is closed now anyway.

This'll put your father-in-law in a difficult position.

I know that but...

Don't make it hard for everyone.

Just do as you're told.

Yes sir.

There's someone here to see you.

I thought you had a dinner to go to.

It's hard to eat when the Blue House is calling.

What's wrong with you?

Those Anti-communist thugs think they're above everyone.

I wanted to teach them a lesson.

Who are you trying to teach?

Think this is funny?

Sign the document, or we're in for shit.

I'll handle this my way, sir.

I don't care how high up your father-in-law is.

If I get another call, I'll fucking sign it myself.

Is that clear?

I'll sign it.

I thought it might be an important call.

"Restraining order against cremation"

Lay a finger on that body,

and I'll have your asses.

Prosecutor Choi!

Prosecutor!

Prosecutor!

Open the door.

Open it, dammit!

What took you so long?

"Prosecutor Lee The Supreme Prosecutor's Office"

You slow ass...

I'm so damn busy nowadays,

I don't even have time to wash my hands after toilet.

You never do anyway.

Do I deserve all this love and attention from you?

Come on, let's get dinner.

Does your wife still make that soup of hers?

I can't go home.

What did you do this time?

Nothing yet. But I'll wind up breaking something if I go home.

Who pissed you off this time?

Those little shits down at the Anti-communist Investigations

act like they're above prosecutors.

They think they're tough shit.

But who dares question their authority?

I'll just screw them and hand in my resignation.

They won't bat an eyelid. It's not worth it.

Speaking of which,

I need a favor from you.

A favor?

Good play!
