먼저 잡는 사람이 갖는 거지.
— Jang Dong-soo & Jung Tae-seok
Context:
This is the agreement made between the gangster and the cop when they form their uneasy alliance. They are deciding the ultimate fate of the killer based on who captures him first, establishing the rules of their dangerous game.
Meaning:
Translated as, "Whoever catches him first gets to keep him." This line solidifies the central pact and the core conflict of the film: the clash between legal justice and personal revenge. It's the twisted bet that sets the entire plot in motion.
