The Deal (Hangul살인의뢰; RRSalinuiroe; lit. "Murder Request") is a 2015 South Korean crime thriller film directed by Son Yong-ho.

Veteran detective Tae-soo figures out that the suspect in a hit-and-run case, Gang-chun, is a serial killer wanted for several murders. But not long after his victory, Tae-soo realizes that his younger sister Soo-kyung was Gang-chun's last victim. Gang-chun receives the death penalty, but refuses to reveal the whereabouts of the victims' bodies, leaving Tae-soo and his brother-in-law Seung-hyun devastated. Three years later, Tae-soo is investigating the murder of a gangster boss when to his surprise, he finds evidence that Seung-hyun is the prime suspect. As he digs deeper, Tae-soo learns that the gang's former boss is now in the same prison as Gang-chun, who is thriving and looking better than ever (South Korea hasn't carried out a single execution since 1997).

The Deal was released in South Korea on March 12, 2015. It opened at number one at the box office, grossing ₩4.11 billion (US$3.62 million) from 495,000 admissions over its first four days.
