Episode 53. Master Plan – Sunset

Director Park Chan-hong has finished the first shoot on the ship and arrived at the container to inspect it.

 

“Hmm, this should be good enough. Is the technical team ready?”

“Yes, we’re ready.”

“Then let’s start filming from the transaction scene.”

 

At Director Park Chan-hong’s words, the staff and extras took their positions.

 

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, Director.”

 

Director Park Chan-hong raised his hand at Jung Ha-gyun and Ryu Yeon-woo’s responses.

 

“Ready, action.”

 

 

Park Gang-woo somehow scraped together money by using his company as collateral and even resorting to private loans.

 

Just because he had one near-death experience didn’t mean he blindly took the bait from some unknown man.

 

Park Gang-woo became convinced after obtaining information about the Italian Mafia attending the conference through his usual informants.

 

However, that information was of course false intelligence provided by tracking the route in advance and hijacking signals midway through a SIM card.

 

Park Gang-woo was already dancing like a puppet in Pierre Choi’s orchestrated scheme.

 

Pierre Choi sat cross-legged in the head seat.

 

“It is an honor for our family to meet the ruler of Sicily again.”

 

Park Gang-woo approached Pierre and bowed his head, showing the utmost respect.

He was already overwhelmed by the majesty of the ship he saw at the harbor where he was guided.

 

Pierre Choi chuckled at Park Gang-woo’s words and spoke.

 

“I don’t know where you picked up that phrase, but we don’t call ourselves the rulers of Sicily.”

 

Pierre Choi stroked his chin while staring intently at Park Gang-woo, then spoke again.

 

“We are the protectors of Sicily. How could we bully the weak?”

 

Unlike the past when he was pulled out of a wooden box and forced to kneel, Pierre Choi spoke respectfully to Park Gang-woo.

 

Park Gang-woo was frightened by Pierre Choi’s abyssal eyes as he spoke about the weak, but on the other hand, he felt good being treated with respect, feeling recognized as a business partner.

 

“I made a mistake.”

“Please, sit down.”

 

Pierre Choi gestured toward the chair in front of him.

 

Park Gang-woo and his subordinate in charge of money transfers sat down, placing a laptop on the table.

 

When Pierre Choi looked back and flicked his hand, a white man with a rifle on his back handed over a note with a Swiss bank account written on it.

 

“Just deposit it there. Of course… you got it, right?”

 

Park Gang-woo couldn’t look directly into Pierre Choi’s snake-like eyes hunting for prey and spoke while trembling slightly.

 

“O-of course. But, could I see the items once?”

“Hahaha.”

 

Pierre Choi laughed at Park Gang-woo’s words.

 

“Right? There’s still no…”

 

Pierre’s fingers kept tapping the table in an anxiously irregular rhythm.

 

“Trust between us, you see.”

 

After finishing his words, Pierre gestured with his chin, and a subordinate standing behind walked over and lifted the tarpaulin in the corner of the ship’s cabin.

 

Park Gang-woo approached as if mesmerized by the sight of pure white powder sacks piled up.

When he lifted one sack, underneath was a box containing anti-tank rockets, left open without a lid.

 

In a country where even gun possession was illegal, there was no way Park Gang-woo had ever seen anti-tank weapons like RPG-7s.

 

Startled, he quickly covered it back up with the white powder sack and glanced at Pierre.

 

“You’re not the only one I do business with. I’m internationally busy with various affairs.”

 

Pierre’s words, where the respectful tone had disappeared again.

 

Park Gang-woo hurriedly sat back down and urged his subordinate sitting next to him.

 

“Hurry up and make the deposit.”

“Yes, hyung-nim.”

 

Then Park Gang-woo glared at his subordinate and whispered quietly.

 

“Hey, not hyung-nim.”

“Ah, yes. President.”

 

Park Gang-woo’s subordinate, who had been typing on the laptop, spoke up.

 

“It’s done, President.”

“Ahaha. Please check it.”

 

At his subordinate’s words, Park Gang-woo rubbed his hands together and spoke to Pierre Choi.

 

Pierre gestured to the white man standing behind him.

Then his subordinate pulled out the satellite phone’s antenna and made a call somewhere.

 

Soon he confirmed and hung up the phone.

 

“Ne è sicura? (Are you sure?)”

 

The subordinate quietly nodded at Pierre’s question.

 

Creak―.

 

Pierre pushed his chair back and stood up from his seat.

 

“Haha. Let’s work well together from now on. Once the brothers of Sicily establish a trust relationship, they never betray first.”

“Of course. Please take care of me from now on.”

 

Park Gang-woo jumped up, bowed his head, and grasped Pierre’s hands with both hands.

 

“Okay. Cut!”

 

At Director Park Chan-hong’s okay call, the actors and stuntmen relaxed their bodies.

 

“Now it’s that long-awaited scene.”

 

At Director Park’s words, tension filled the filming set.

 

“As you all know, the set is cramped, and due to the nature of this scene, it’s difficult to break it into multiple cuts.”

 

Director Park Chan-hong continued speaking while looking at the staff, actors, and stuntmen.

 

“All the cameras are set up everywhere, so be mindful of the frames according to your movements and let’s do it in one take.”

“Let’s fight!”

 

Ohhh!

 

When Jung Ha-gyun, who played Park Gang-woo, led the cheer, the actors and stuntmen raised their morale.

 

Since it was the final scene that needed to be filmed from all directions, all staff except the actors went outside.

 

Director Park Chan-hong gave instructions through the radio while watching the field monitor installed outside the container.

 

– Alright, get ready and scene number 90, ready action!

 

 

Park Gang-woo was politely greeting Pierre, grasping his hands with both hands.

 

And when Pierre patted his shoulder, Park Gang-woo straightened his back.

 

At that moment, urgent radio communication began coming through the white subordinate’s radio.

 

Beep―.

 

– Run away. You’ve been discovered!

 

Park Gang-woo looked bewildered, not understanding what was happening with the urgent foreign language coming through the radio.

 

Pierre Choi’s face contorted.

 

He drew a pistol from his suit waist and aimed it at Park Gang-woo.

 

“What! Is it you?”

“Yes, yes? I don’t understand what you mean.”

 

Pierre Choi frowned and aimed his gun at the white man behind him who was receiving the radio transmission.

 

“Then is it you?!”

 

At that moment, the ship’s cabin door opened and special agents wearing black protective suits entered.

 

“This is Interpol! You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Anything you say can be used against you in court.”

 

When the special agents aimed their guns, the white men behind also aimed their guns.

 

Surprised by the sudden situation, Park Gang-woo and his subordinate didn’t know what to do and looked around in all directions.

 

“I, I have nothing to do with this.”

 

Park Gang-woo raised both hands high and tried to step back.

 

“Stop! Don’t move!”

 

Park Gang-woo, who until now couldn’t understand anything they were saying except for the word ‘Interpol’, understood these words.

 

Park Gang-woo and his subordinate stopped in place with completely frozen faces.

 

At that moment, shouts came from the inner passage connected to the ship’s cabin.

 

“Dai ragazzi! Muoviti! Forza! (Everyone move! Come on!)”

 

Then men in black suits wearing masks entered with guns.

 

Pierre Choi, completely surrounded, alternately aimed his pistol in all directions and shouted.

 

“What! Which bastard is it!”

 

At that moment, one particularly large man among the men in black suits removed his mask and aimed his gun at Pierre Choi.

 

“It’s me, you bastard.”

 

When the mask was removed, Kwak Ji-cheol’s face was revealed.

 

Pierre Choi confirmed the face and leaned back his body like a madman, bursting into laughter.

 

Kahahaha.

 

“This is so fun. Life is this entertaining?”

 

Pierre Choi suddenly changed to a cold expression as if he had never laughed and stared at Kwak Ji-cheol.

 

With black eyes like an abyss with no attachment to life, he gazed silently before pointing his pistol at Kwak Ji-cheol and pulling the trigger.

 

Bang―.

 

Red blood spurting from Kwak Ji-cheol’s chest was the signal flare.

 

Interpol, the men in black suits, and Pierre’s white subordinates all began firing guns in all directions.

 

“Aaaahhh!”

 

Park Gang-woo and his subordinate covered their heads and ran madly toward the ship’s cabin entrance.

They frantically ran off the ship with trembling legs.

 

The men inside the cabin didn’t even look at the fleeing Park Gang-woo and shot at each other.

 

Then, the interior of the cabin turned into chaos.

Mechanical devices and ceiling lights broke with sparks flying.

 

After everyone shot at each other and all collapsed, the silent cabin was filled only with corpses.

 

The space that had been filled with noisy gunshots changed in just a few seconds to a situation where only silence flowed, and the contrast was so stark it felt eerie.

 

After more than ten seconds passed and only the fluorescent light hanging from the ceiling flickered pitifully, Pierre suddenly raised his upper body and sat up.

 

“Gasp. This is really too fun.”

 

Pierre Choi covered his mouth and began laughing quietly.

 

Then all the men in the cabin who had fallen bleeding got up one by one.

 

Hahaha.

 

Soon the men in the cabin began laughing quietly.

 

“Hey, Kwak Ji-cheol. What? ‘It’s me, you bastard?’ It seemed like there was some emotion in it? There was no cursing during rehearsal.”

 

Kwak Ji-cheol put down the fake gun and got up among the mechanical devices designed to break at the right timing.

 

“Ahem. Oh my, this is so realistic, ‘Junk Dealer’ uncle is amazing. Everyone get up quickly.”

 

Kwak Ji-cheol scratched his head and changed the subject, unnecessarily shaking the back of a man who hadn’t gotten up yet.

 

 

Then Director Park Chan-hong’s radio transmission was heard.

 

– Okay cut! You are Korea’s best actors.

 

Waaaah!

 

The actors who successfully completed filming the most important scene that was the crowning glory of this movie.

 

Not only the actors but also the staff congratulated each other and encouraged each other for their hard work, embracing each other.

 

As the actors and staff came out of the container set, the sunset was beautifully setting over the sea.

 

Ma Seok-do approached Yeon-woo with his arm around his shoulder.

 

“Wow, the timing was perfectly matched too.”

“That shooting scene just now was really cool. I think it’ll look great on screen.”

 

Han So-hyeon, who had been watching from beside the director at the field monitor, also approached.

 

While the actors were looking at the sunset and talking about the scene they just filmed, Jung Ha-gyun was filming his final scene.

 

 

Park Gang-woo, who hurriedly ran off the ship, kept looking back with trembling legs.

 

Then the assistant director shouted according to the cue.

 

“Bang!”

 

When the assistant director gave a vocal cue where the CG explosion would be added, Park Gang-woo and his subordinate simultaneously collapsed.

 

“Ugh.”

 

With terrified expressions, they quickly got up and ran away.

 

Park Gang-woo had suddenly found himself at the scene of a gunfight between Interpol, the mafia, and a group of large men he knew as Chairman No’s driver during a drug deal with the Italian mafia.

 

Park Gang-woo thought everyone had died in the bridge that exploded with a roar, as if bullets had hit the anti-tank shell warheads under the drugs.

 

Now he had nowhere to appeal to – not the police, not the underground world, neither the legitimate nor illegitimate sides.

 

After being played around in the scheme designed by Pierre Choi, only a 30 billion won debt remained before him.

 

“Okay! Cut.”
