ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGION, AND INCIDENTS
PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Kang Gi-beom, where are you?
Take him to the HQ.
- Just me and him? - Get going.
- Get back here! - Gosh.
Where the fuck did you go?
If you leave him like that, he'll die soon.
You'll need to do something.
Isn't capturing him enough? I have to escort him so that he won't die?
Rugal doesn't have a murder license yet.
Strictly speaking, I didn't kill him.
If you just leave him here, it will be considered murder.
That bastard is a weakling. Why is that my fault?
Connect me to the HQ.
Connecting to the HQ.
I CAPTURED HWANG DEUK-GU
It's connected now, sir.
Agent Kang sent us a message.
- Enable live streaming. - Yes, sir.
Well done, Gi-beom.
EPISODE 7
Who are these morons?
Please don't kill us. We did everything we were told to do!
Who put you up to this?
He said he'd kill everyone if I didn't do this.
He said he'd kill me and my family.
Who is "he"?
He said it was Chairman Hyeon.
- Did you say "Chairman Hyeon"? - Yes.
If you get caught in any way,
say you were following Chairman Hyeon's orders.
Don't care about whether it's true or not, or why you're saying his name.
We were told that we must carry out Chairman Hyeon's order to be forgiven.
What the heck is going on?
Gi-beom was right.
We must do whatever it takes to fight.
You can go.
All those people are actually victims.
It's so upsetting that we can't catch the real bad guys.
We can't say they're completely innocent.
They touched the political slush funds
their influential parents were delivering.
And that's why they needed to be forgiven by Chairman Hyeon.
It's all for show.
Detective Yang is just pretending too.
So what, then? Is this it?
The higher-ups don't even want us to touch it.
It's odd that a tycoon
like AH Group's Chairman Hyeon admitted he's behind this.
And he requested police protection when he ordered all of this?
Odd, right?
It doesn't make sense.
If you take Chairman Hyeon out of the equation,
it makes more sense.
A mysterious third party did this and pinned it on Chairman Hyeon,
so he got all angry. But since the police can't handle this,
so he rushed to get us involved.
He won't even get any credit.
He's doing all this for nothing.
I feel so useless because there's nothing we can do.
Yes, sir.
Pardon?
Okay.
This will make you feel better.
You know that you're no match for me.
Did you act weak back then? To see what I can do?
What did they do to your body?
You're burning up.
Min-jun...
Get out of my way unless you want to die.
Help!
Gi-beom!
Kang Gi-beom!
Gi-beom, help me!
- Fuck! - What's going on?
- Gi-beom! - What's wrong?
Get him off me. Quick.
Fuck.
Gosh, I nearly died.
You shouted at the top of your lungs for this?
This man even bit my ear. You have no idea.
Can you not gauge the situation?
I'm sorry. I guess you lost him because of me.
Damn it!
I'm really sorry.
Shall I take this guy instead?
Boss.
- Are you on your way? - We're almost there.
Didn't you see a car leaving the reservoir?
A car leaving the reservoir?
Why do you ask?
Damn it.
I think Mi-na saw the car. We'll go after it.
It was Hwang Deuk-gu.
- He's gone. - I got a weird feeling when he drove by.
I should've known.
He could ditch the car because someone helped him.
Should we search the area?
First, let's go to where Gi-beom is. We'll find out why he couldn't chase him.
- Let's go. - Okay.
You would've gotten in trouble had I arrived a little late.
We must've been brothers in our past lives.
Whenever anything bad happens to you,
I break out in a cold sweat.
When I managed to collect myself, I was already driving like a mad man.
Be quiet.
Just go wake Director Gu up.
MERCENARY
You invited all these important guests. How come you're not here yet?
Sorry.
Some stuff happened.
Do you think it was easy to organize a meeting for a private military company?
I am aware that. And that is why
I paid you and gave you all the support you needed.
Show up within the next 30 minutes, or the project will be put on hold.
Damn it.
Kang...
Gi-beom!
What? Where is Hwang?
We lost him. He ditched the car and ran off.
- Damn it. - What happened?
- Are you okay? - Yes.
I'm all right.
By the way, who's this?
Argos chairwoman's groom-to-be.
If we're talking about those bastards, I only know of one groom-to-be.
Ko Yong-deok?
But he is dead.
- You found his corpse? - He's still alive.
To be more accurate, they didn't let him die in peace.
Boss.
- You, get out. - You're in pain. I should stay--
- Get out at once! - Yes, sir.
I'll begin.
I'll have to cut it all out.
I will give you anesthesia, but you'll die if we wait.
Just...
Just begin.
He brought a dead man back to life.
TO THE EXECUTION SITE
And he took care of those fuckers whom I wanted to punish.
I'm glad you like it.
On top of that, he even laughed at me.
That cocksure bastard.
Can you explain this to me?
Hwang Deuk-gu and Choi Ye-won did this together.
They drowned the leader of Argos
at the execution site they built.
But what they missed
is the fact that the divers are just as greedy as they are.
To the divers, Ko Yong-deok wasn't just a dead body they had to lift.
They saw it as a chance to turn their lives around.
- One, two, three. - Life never turns out the way you want.
They knew they'd be blamed for it,
so they couldn't tell the higher-ups.
One, two, three!
They couldn't kill him either, thinking he'd be useful later on.
Where are the divers? Did you take care of them?
You don't need to worry.
Then now, it's my turn.
Good work. Go home and get some rest.
But you won't be able to communicate with him.
Communicate?
- I was going to extract stuff from him. - Shall I do it?
I can extract whatever you need.
No, it's okay.
Susan, it's dangerous. You might get hurt--
No way. Will Susan...
You guys shouldn't see this
to not be held responsible.
Let's go.
But...
They didn't just take care of the corpses.
Then what else?
They sold the victims' watches, cell phones, and jewelry.
They even sold organs.
As people say, old habits die hard.
They even sold Ko Yong-deok's wedding presents.
They're pretty well-known on resale websites.
I see comments praising the quality and their after-sales service.
They're unbelievable.
Thanks to them, Hwang Deuk-gu got blindsided by someone he trusted.
That serves him right.
These jerks were taking advantage of those bastards.
I bet Ko Yong-deok regrets coming alive.
He obviously didn't know
that he'd become the prey in the ecosystem that he built.
He's alive, so they're guilty of attempted murder.
If we get a statement from Ko Yong-deok,
we'll be able to put Choi Ye-won and Hwang Deuk-gu behind bars.
That'll be great, but why do I feel like it's too easy to be true?
I should've killed Hwang Deuk-gu first.
Why didn't you kill him?
I obviously wanted to.
I guess that was enough
to get your revenge.
I was told to capture him alive and not kill him.
- What was I supposed to do? - What I'm saying is,
you weren't a true representation of Rugal.
But thanks to you, we could abide by our rules.
Let me ask you something since you keep talking about rules.
Let's say I killed him. Then who will take responsibility for it?
Will you go to jail with me?
I'll take responsibility for Rugal's actions no matter what.
Even if it's something a lot worse than going to jail.
Hwang Deuk-gu! Choi Ye-won!
I'll teach you a lesson--
Do you feel alive now?
You bastard.
Do you know who I am?
I'm Ko Yong-deok.
One vial lasts five minutes,
but you lose a year of your life every time you get a shot.
I don't think you have time to whine.
What is it that you want?
We might have similar goals.
I'll let you take Hwang Deuk-gu.
If you want to get your revenge, you'll have to tell me
everything you know.
Your anger level is in the dangerous range.
You must relieve your anger.
Thanks for bringing that up.
Had you not stopped me...
- I never did. - What?
I just told you the results of my analyses.
- So what was your opinion? - Do you want to hear it?
Forget it. It's no use talking about it now.
I suggest you eat vitamin-rich fruits for your mental health.
Doing a handstand before bed will be helpful as well.
Eating fruits this late? Forget it.
We should kill Hwang Deuk-gu first.
You wanted to cook up a scheme. Did you change your mind?
The situation must be changing rapidly.
I'm just rearranging the order of events.
That position sounds very stressful.
You must always be anxious.
Long story short, you killed him. And I know nothing about it.
Sure, whatever.
- But I decide how it's done. - Let's discuss the details in person.
I'll call you when I have the location and time.
D-Day, all of a sudden?
Forgive me for the sake of our friendship.
A gift? After what you did?
It's not like we'll never see each other.
And I never come empty-handed whenever I see you.
But whether you buy that gallery or not,
you can't go up against Hwang Deuk-gu for embezzling a little bit of money.
It depends on how I stage it, if he needs to be killed.
That's true.
I can't believe it though.
What did Hwang Deuk-gu do to Seol Min-jun to turn him into his loyal dog?
That I don't know.
But if it's Hwang Deuk-gu...
It's not so surprising.
Right.
The old farts are scared shitless too.
Yong and Man-cheol said they'd help too.
Seriously?
Those stiff old farts?
They need to turn things around fast.
And you become tenderhearted when you're old and sick.
But you also had to lower yourself.
I think Hwang Deuk-gu got on Chairman Hyeon's nerves.
If I can make him feel better
and end the power struggles once and for all,
lowering myself isn't a big deal.
Him being the vice-chairman,
I'd like the actions to be somewhat grand.
What do you have in mind?
I'd like to test the waters,
but I haven't seen him around lately.
Could he have caught on?
Weren't you resting?
I get it.
Physical activity clears the mind when it comes to people like us.
Come on. Let me help you with that.
How about another round?
As many as you want.
Wearing yourself out won't solve everything though.
Have we been doing a good job?
- Of course. - Then why is it
that I can only remember their gruesome crimes?
I feel like we keep losing.
We'll find a way to win.
Forget about approvals and justifications.
We need something that'll turn the tables around.
Can anyone guess what I have in this envelope?
- Money! - No, that's not the case.
In this envelope are gift vouchers
that you can use to consume products and services provided by Argos.
I see you couldn't trust me.
Let's now welcome Chairwoman Choi Ye-won.
Ms. Choi will personally drop the envelope in the letterbox.
One, two, three.
Please give her a big hand!
Envelopes like this will be delivered to 5,000 disadvantaged families.
Please give Ms. Choi another big round of applause.
Next, we'll begin the raffle.
We have many prizes ready.
Green tea, potatoes, and kiwi!
Let's now begin the raffle!
- Make it seem like you're guarding me. - Would you like a box of kiwi?
- Yes! - Yes!
What an angel you are.
We also do good in this world.
Before you speak shit of our black money,
I dare you to take them away from those kids.
I doubt you called me over to boast.
I'm the only one in the organization interested in charity.
It's good in a way since no one bothers to interfere.
No one suspects anything either because I've been at this for a while.
It's a smart move.
Why don't we take a walk elsewhere?
It's been a while since I've walked
among a crowd.
Were we close enough to share this kind of stuff?
There were men earlier eyeing my every move.
I should take precautions considering I hardly know you.
Well, I'm the type to perform better under pressure.
Soon I will throw a party with all the middle bosses.
Hwang Deuk-gu will be there, too.
- The venue? - My residence.
No one will question since it's where we normally gathered.
So big names will be gathered in one place.
- Talk about a top-security event. - Of course.
A mistake means death.
Don't you worry.
It's pretty here.
Enjoy the view.
Enjoy the night view and fit me in for a consult tomorrow morning.
I found the perfect place.
You're here.
Hi.
Why did you call me here this morning?
So what's it about?
I wanted to clear my head and apologize to you.
For what?
Well,
you and I keep clashing.
We may have the same goal,
but I'm sure it hasn't been easy for you because of one certain teammate.
You can say that.
But was it necessary to tell me that
out here?
What do you really want to say?
I've been trying to ignore it, but it's easier said than done.
What is?
Ms. Han Tae-yeon.
In order to save her brother,
she bet everything on one detective.
I couldn't help her in any way though.
I'm even partially responsible for you losing your arm.
You must've known, so why didn't you say anything?
You
did your job
while I only did mine.
It's a waste of time thinking back
when it was inevitable.
You never bring your personal emotions to the office, do you?
The outcome wouldn't have changed
- no matter who had taken the case. - But I
feel sorry
and of course awful.
If only we all face the same direction...
Then no one would have to get hurt.
Probably.
What's with the sudden training session?
Beats me.
Gi-beom will bite our heads off if we don't show or are late.
Oh...
- Did you receive it too? - Yes.
He probably has something to say but I have no idea.
There. I see Gi-beom and Tae-woong.
How about a run to get the blood flowing?
Why waste a fine day?
Can I believe that your priority lies with Rugal then?
That's right.
Make sure you protect it until the very end.
Of course.
What's taking you so long?
Coming!
Did you call them?
Coming!
Why aren't you running at top speed?
Stop slacking off.
- We haven't trained in a while. - Let's make the most of it.
I'm all warmed up, so let's do this.
- Let's go. - Let's do this.
The dead skin on your body has been removed.
It has been replaced by artificial flesh.
Everywhere else?
Fortunately, your organs were unscathed.
You might've not made it had you come back too late.
Right. You're a doctor.
All the cutting and sawing you do made you seem like a butcher.
And also,
if what you're hoping for
is a device that can outsmart a human being--
- We have to move up the plan. - Sorry?
I'll provide you with anything you need,
so make it happen this time.
Yes, sir.
CHOI YE-WON
Let me start by cleaning out my house first.
- Does this hurt? - No.
Then...
That hurts!
Really?
Maybe the wires weren't connected properly.
Hey, be grateful for this though.
Susan would've been way worse.
- What? - Jeez,
you're clueless, aren't you?
Gwang-cheol, the devil lives among us!
What? The devil?
That's right.
Don't be ridiculous.
Isn't it weird
how the chief chose Susan over the others
to accompany him at the solitary cell?
You're right.
That is weird.
She's a sweetheart,
so I'd think she'd scream in fear.
Don't say that when you know nothing!
Ko Yong-deok
will end up spilling the beans.
It won't be easy.
The man once led a crime organization.
But I've seen her at work.
She cuts, saws, combines, and assembles people
as if they're toys.
The blood is just too gruesome.
You have no idea since you were anesthetized.
But I've seen it all.
Her face carried a blank expression, but she was enjoying it--
Oh, right.
Yes, right here.
Thanks, Bradley. That feels better.
- Can you double-check? - Right here.
Right...
I'm scared!
No, I'm terrified!
Sir, you asked for me?
Are you all right, sir?
I thought you'd never show up.
So what has Hwang been up to lately?
We've been wanting to see him,
but he's been off the grid.
Mr. Hwang only keeps Seol Min-jun by his side these days.
We already heard.
I won't accept silence, so at least give me something.
Bring me Hwang Deuk-gu
or it'll be over between you and me.
Well, you see...
Boss, you're here!
I see you've been busy...
behind my back.
That's not the case.
In your absence, I'm supposed to--
I see that life goes on for you.
You sure can hold a gaze for someone who lost everything.
What you took from me doesn't matter.
Without Yong-deok,
you won't be able to do anything with that address.
What do you mean?
Who cares that you have a weapon when you don't know how to use it?
You'll never be able to.
Are you implying that you have
the late chairman hidden somewhere?
If you're that curious,
go ahead and dig up his grave.
If I must,
then I will.
What?
What was that all about?
Is there something that only the two of you know?
It's nothing you need to know, so forget about it.
Damn it.
Shit.
Where is the list of lobbied politicians?
VIP SAFE AT MOPIN, UNIT 1004
Must I start from the beginning again?
Min-jun, give Dal-ho the information on K Hospital's Dr. Oh Gwang-su.
Boss, who is this?
Watch him around the clock.
Around the clock?
Yes, you'll bring him to me
the second I give you the order.
You will not fail or get caught.
Yes, Boss.
Stop the car.
Get out.
- Sorry? - Get out.
Do you mean me?
Don't you know what "around the clock" means?
Sure, I'll get going.
Damn it.
We might need Ko Yong-deok.
I don't have to tell you what you need to do, right?
JUDGE
- Thank you. - Thanks.
She's been in musicals...
- We'll keep her in mind. - Right.
- Let's take a short break. - Sure.
Can't you see I'm busy?
There's something only Choi Yong knows.
What do you know about Chairman Ko?
How do I know?
You being in the dark means that it's something important.
It's something big, right?
It seems like he and Hwang Deuk-gu stroke some kind of deal.
- Money? - No, something more than that.
It's something
that could give him control of Argos and push Hwang aside.
If that's the case, we should team up.
Are you sure about us working together?
You wouldn't have come to me if you weren't sure.
Of course not.
No wonder my feet naturally led me here.
So what can I do to help?
Ye-won seems to be having us gathered soon.
Sounds like we'll be able to paint a nice picture.
K HOSPITAL MEDICAL RESEARCH BUILDING
Wait, what the hell?
- Gi-beom. - Yes?
- Dr. Oh has been kidnapped. - What?
You sure it's Director Gu of K Hospital?
Yes, it most definitely is him.
He called for help
and said he knew where Dr. Oh was taken.
Are you saying Director Gu escaped?
He said we needed to rescue him first since Dr. Oh won't have much time.
I can't be sure of what's going on.
I'll dispatch my men first,
so assemble two teams and set up a perimeter around the location.
All we have at the moment is Director Gu's intel.
A closed hospital parking lot won't have any security cameras.
Dr. Oh never installed a GPS or a dashcam
so it wouldn't lead anyone to headquarters.
Bastards.
How dare they kidnap Dr. Oh.
Can Director Gu be trusted?
We'll have to see for ourselves.
Chief,
the fact that they know about Dr. Oh
might be a danger to Rugal.
Exactly. It's why this operation will shape the course of this war.
You must rescue him.
- Yes. - Yes, sir.
Everybody, stop.
Gi-beom, check our location.
I see points at our two, eight, and eleven o'clock.
They're all about a kilometer from here.
Mi-na, take 2 o'clock, Gwang-cheol, take 11,
and I'll take 8 o'clock.
- Send a signal if you see anything. - Hold on. What about me?
There could be men hiding.
You are to stay behind and watch our backs.
I can multitask, you know.
If you're not going to take orders, tell me now.
That's not what I meant.
It's dark and quiet.
Stay off the radio unless it's necessary.
There's no time to waste, so move out.
Got it.
Excuse me.
Director Gu?
You really came.
I was worried that you might not find the place.
- Are you injured? - I'm fine.
I've been crouching down all this time,
so my legs are a little numb.
So where's Dr. Oh?
If it's that way...
I found Director Gu.
I'll escort him to the police and join you guys.
Please note that Dr. Oh is at ten o'clock.
Let me take you to safety.
- What are you doing... - I'm sorry.
What's going on? There's nothing here.
This doesn't seem like the place. And Mi-na's not here.
Mi-na, where are you?
Mi-na?
Mi-na!
Mi-na...
How did it go?
An officer at the scene radioed in.
Director Gu has been secured.
Good job. Send him here.
Yes, sir.
Did you find Dr. Oh?
Not yet, sir.
But Mi-na can't be reached.
I told her to stay off the radio, but she's been disconnected.
Head back for now.
I'll contact Gi-beom and Mi-na separately.
- Still-- - Director Gu has been secured.
We can locate Dr. Oh first to rescue him.
Yes, sir.
We'll go back to HQ for now.
What the hell?
Mi-na.
What's going on?
Bradley.
It's me, Gi-beom.
How did you get this number?
Forget about that. This is urgent. My eyes got a blackout.
Tell me how to fix this.
Okay, hold on.
Judging by the wavelengths,
the linked chips are interfering with one another.
Linked? What do you mean?
You probably won't get it.
Didn't you say this was urgent?
It is, so recover my vision.
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
Mi-na was abducted! Hurry!
The restoration process isn't that simple. It may cause unknown errors.
Just do it.
You can fix those errors later.
Look. It's not as easy as it sounds.
Just do it!
It's like opening Pandora's box. Susan did her best to secure that.
I don't want to hear it.
Just fix my eyes.
I need to find her before she gets in danger!
I won't take responsibility for this.
Damn it!
Find Mi-na.
Hwang Deuk-gu?
Do you know me as well? I must be quite famous.
Hwang Deuk-gu!
I love how feisty you are.
Fish taste the best when they're still flopping about.
I was dying to meet you. And finally, here we are.
I'm not after you.
It's the one who's crazy about blood.
Look who's talking.
You seem
quite useful.
Don't kill her.
Please spare me!
I just did as I was told!
Please...
Please show me mercy!
Please...
Do you think this is a trap?
Gi-beom and Mi-na haven't returned yet.
They're not the type to get easily subdued. Right?
They may be looking for Dr. Oh. Or they might have already found him.
I know the easiest and fastest way.
Ko Yong-deok.
Let me talk to him.
Have you been alive all along, Tae-woong?
Thank you for taking care of me.
Who?
Me? Took care of you?
You crazy bastard.
If you're so grateful,
untie me.
I'm a geezer now.
I'm sure I'm not a threat.
You will die
in this room.
Is that bitch, Han Tae-yeon, here too?
I bet she's not.
I made sure I took care of her.
The people dear to me have disappeared.
Repent for everything you've done
and answer my question.
Repentance is nice.
Repentance...
By the way,
could you speak louder?
My ears must've given out.
I only hear ringing.
Where are the doctors from K Hospital?
You impudent son of a bitch!
How dare you lecture me?
Tae-woong!
You will never be able to conquer Argos, my masterpiece.
Tae-woong, something's not right.
Run away!
Hey, you small-time gangster. Let her go and deal with me.
That's a bit rich coming from someone who toyed with a living corpse.
I see.
I won't put up a fight, okay?
I surrender.
What are you scheming?
Am I not the target?
I'll let you have it your way.
Turn on the lights.
Both of you will die anyway.
Take her.
- Are you okay? - Gi-beom.
There's downhill when you go out.
- You're good at rolling. - Of course.
- Run as soon as you get up, got it? - Okay.
Now.
Come on, now. I said I surrendered.
Tae-woong, can you hear me?
Gwang-cheol.
What?
Did you think she'd survive if you got her out of here?
It's a lot more like hell outside.
Did you enjoy the festival last time?
Before you sign the contract,
I'd like to hear how you're going to eliminate Hwang Deuk-gu in detail.
Hello?
CLIENT
I see.
So this was it.
This was why it was possible.
Catch the bitch
who ran away.
And for that asshole in there, show him what hell truly looks like.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing?
Let me go.
Inhale enough of this.
You won't be able to endure it without it.
When I had my head underwater,
I didn't see how it would help train me.
But now, I've realized that I owe my instructor big time.
Hwang Deuk-gu,
I will destroy you from the inside.
Where is this truck going?
The damage will keep multiplying. You think you can handle it?
Both their strength and explosive power have grown.
Kill anyone and everyone that gets in the way.
Gwang-cheol!
You shouldn't have crossed the line.
Did you think you won't get caught?
I will show you what I'm capable of.
It crossed my mind that he is after my artificial eyes.
