Uh, thanks.
S-sir.
[grunts] Sit down, everyone.
[Man-bok sighs]
[Man-bok clears throat]
I know you know who I am.
But, I'm guessing you wanna know who this is.
He will be the CFO of this project, sitting in on my behalf,
since I am stepping back from my responsibilities at Jay Fund.
Cho Jeong-hyeon, everyone.
[Yi-rang] Cho Jeong-hyeon? CFO?
I'm Cho Jeong-hyeon,
and through this group,
I will work hard to help more companies sign contracts with ANK,
for the betterment of Korea.
[applause continues]
You've saved my life, so I'm doing something for you now.
FINAL EPISODE
I want you to tell me
one wish that you've got, and I'll grant it.
When will you ever get what you actually want
if you're starting off as a mere employee?
Wait, how'd you know about that?
[solemn music playing]
Well, considering that you were poking your nose all around my business,
[clears throat] I figured you must have had a good reason.
So I did some research and looked you up through Lawyer Lee.
HAKSAN LAW FIRM
-Here you go. -[Gu-ho] Thank you.
JAY FUND INTERNATIONAL CHO MAN-BOK
[Man-bok] You must
seize the opportunity when you have it.
So, tell me,
what do you really want?
[intense music playing]
Please help me, sir. No, Chairman Cho.
I need to get revenge.
[opening theme music playing]
We can include energy providers,
Internet and digital companies for the city infrastructure,
not to mention every single one
of the major supermarkets and department stores.
So, what you're saying is that you'll help Korean companies
join this project under favorable conditions.
Wow, I've only just started the whole successor thing.
I still have a long ways to go.
[clears throat]
I need to do a better job at keeping my mouth shut, you know?
Please. Just pretend he never said that.
-[chuckles] -All right.
[Yo-seop] Shall we begin our meeting?
1ST CONTRACT SUPPORTERS' MEETING
From now on, using the best existing architectural technology,
we'll be building an energy self-sufficient city
in the middle of a desert.
All of the residential units produced in modules,
will be manufactured in advance and assembled on site.
This way, we can reduce the construction costs by almost 30%,
-and reduce the overall... -[Yi-rang] What are you trying to pull?
-[Yo-seop] Note, -[Gu-ho] Just don't get in my way.
the most innovative aspects of this
are the machinery, electricity, and the pipe system.
The central control hub system, using AI...
2ND CONTRACT SUPPORTERS' MEETING
...will effectively manage the energy.
With an AI-powered central control system,
all of the energy can be managed much more efficiently,
making ANK's vision
of a zero-energy consumption building possible.
3RD CONTRACT SUPPORTERS' MEETING
Every single one of us that is participating on this project
isn't simply constructing a building.
You'll all be remembered as pioneers who changed human history.
[thrilling music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[intriguing music playing]
-Hello. -Hello.
[Gu-ho sighs] Having money sure is good.
It even got me into the murderer's den.
[sighs]
[intense music playing]
Hey, what are you two...
working on? Well...
You were all just working on empty stomachs.
So I went out and brought some snacks for everyone. I mean...
You didn't have to come.
[quirky music playing]
Oh, I just... I couldn't sit on my hands
while you were all working so hard on the designs.
Why don't you gather and have something?
I brought some snacks. Have some snacks. Yes. This way, gang.
All right. Let's all take five! Yeah!
A-reum, if you hadn't been in charge of Chief Kang,
we wouldn't have been able to finish any of it on time.
I can't take credit for it. I'm learning so much from all of you.
[woman] No, you were born with the skillset to get things done.
Thank you. I will try even harder. Go, team!
-[all laughing] -[man 1] So enthusiastic!
[man 2] Yeah, it's great. I love her energy.
-[all laughing] -[indistinct chatter]
-Beautiful, don't you think? -What?
No. Yes. Uh... What? What do you mean?
The design.
[Gu-ho] Oh, the design.
[inhales sharply, exhales]
I wouldn't know the first thing about this engineering stuff.
I'm simply counting on you.
If you don't mind,
could I ask you about your relationship with Chairman Cho?
Well, it's been, uh,
quite a long time since he adopted me.
Uh... Off the record.
Then the future chairman
of the Jay Fund is standing right front of me?
[laughs awkwardly]
It's a pleasure to work with you.
Oh, no, no. The pleasure is all mine, Director Kang. [chuckles]
[sighs]
It seems my driver's taking his sweet time.
-You should all just take off. -We can't leave you here alone.
I can wait right here and see him off. Don't worry.
Oh, will you do that?
Thanks for all your help! We'll see you both tomorrow then.
-Thank you! Good night! -Have a good night.
[sighs]
-Do you even know what CFO stands for? -Chief Financial Officer.
Essentially the chief of the financial office.
All right.
By the way, why aren't you being more respectful?
Do I even know you?
[scoffs]
Oh, Jay Fund's Cho--
What was it?
Jeong-hyeon. CFO.
Please explain to me how a mere employee would know Mr. Cho Jeong-hyeon personally?
You need to watch your mouth, okay?
How can you be so informal to someone you've literally never met before?
Uh, thanks.
You almost got me in trouble from the very beginning.
Try to avoid acting like a total amateur, okay?
How did you even get that position?
Hmm.
Why don't you hop in? I'll tell you about it on the way.
[scoffs]
-Oh, I would never dare. Goodnight, sir. -Okay. Bye.
Shit. [inhales]
[sighs]
Damn it.
-Hi. -How's Gu-ho?
-What? Why? -[James] Did he look okay?
Did he appear to be well?
Is he well? [scoffs]
He took way too much protein and bulked up.
Looks like a pelican, keeping his chin up high all the time.
He's a total eyesore.
Okay, okay, calm down. You still want me to pick you up?
No, I'd better be careful and lay low until I win his full trust.
Any chance my room is ready?
[James] Of course. It's perfect and waiting for you.
[zany music playing]
What the hell is this? Who did this?
[James] How's the room? Do you like it?
-Do I like it? -[James laughs]
Are you insane?
Th-The style you said. W-What was it called again?
[Mr. Ray-Bang and Mr. Mustache] Viva, viva! Yun Yi-rang's style.
-[James laughs] -What the--
That's supposed to be Gen Z style. They decorated it all themselves.
This is the ultimate disguise. You know what I mean?
-Mr. Mustache put a lot of effort into it. -Mmm.
My own taste is somewhat reflected, but it's Gen Z style for sure.
I guess I can put up with this,
but you better prepare everything thoroughly.
Kang Yo-seop is a diabolical expert at manipulating people,
If anything goes wrong, our plan will have been useless.
Okay, don't worry about that.
This is really gonna be a hell of an operation, huh?
-Let's... -Mmm?
-Get up! -Get up!
-Not "get up." Get it! -Ah...
One, two, three!
-[all] Let's get it! -[James whoops]
Do I have to sleep here?
Pretty scary.
[car door shuts]
[sighs]
AUSPICIOUS GOSHIWON
She probably couldn't write down the actual hostel address.
ADDRESS: SEOUN-SI UNJIRO-GIL 58
[chuckles]
Because she's the same type of person as me.
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
KOREAN GOVERNMENT
Please do your best on the presentation.
JOSEF ARCHITECTS
-The designs are finally ready. -[chuckles]
I took the liberty of preparing extra copies of the presentation.
This way, you'll be able to review it thoroughly during the flight.
Thank you, A-reum.
I'll do everything in my power to ensure the contract gets signed.
[captivating music plays, fades]
Chief Kang, I will now connect the call.
[footsteps distancing]
We know you're all very busy, so thank you for being here.
Receiving the call so quickly took me a little by surprise.
[Hyeon-uk] We expected to wait a month,
but I was surprised he scheduled the meeting immediately.
Oh, here he is.
[in Arabic] Peace be with you.
[in English] Hello, nice to meet you.
I have thoroughly reviewed the Mega Eco City design
that was sent from South Korea.
As I expected, my prediction was correct.
The idea of placing the communal garden
at the central axis of the entire building
was also a refreshing shift in perspective.
As a result,
our team at ANK has...
[suspenseful music playing]
...decided to adopt the architectural model
proposed by South Korea.
[Oracle CEO] Nice!
Applause! Applause! Applause!
-[all clapping] -[Oracle CEO laughing]
[Abdullah] But there is one concern we need to address.
May I ask what specific issue you are referring to?
We intend to reduce the construction timeline by...
three years.
-[scoffs] -Three years?
[suspenseful music playing]
Any good ideas?
But the more money it takes,
higher the chance our contract falls apart.
I took a look yesterday,
and he was going through the designs from the Summit High Engineering Company.
I also heard the Jinyong Group in China already has their design ready to go.
I expected our proposal, to be much faster.
It seems that other countries are further along than we thought.
At this point, anyone can smell the money.
Is there a way to simplify the assembly method?
[sighs] What we have now is the best.
If we change the assembly method,
the construction period will expand indefinitely.
Director Kang, are you saying there's currently no solution for this problem?
[chuckles]
There is no problem that can't be solved.
There are only people who are too weak to find a solution.
[somber music playing]
[young Yi-rang screams]
You okay?
Uh, just a small dizzy spell.
Get some fresh air.
Thank you.
[breathes heavily]
[Yo-seop] There's no problem that can't be solved.
There are only people who are too weak to find a solution.
[gasps]
[suspenseful music intensifies]
How are you feeling?
Okay, I'm fine.
Oh, I, uh, compiled some data that I haven't showed you yet.
I thought perhaps you might want to check it out.
This is doable.
[suspenseful music playing]
[chuckles softly]
[Yi-rang] The real game starts now.
You'd better be ready, Kang Yo-seop.
You can reduce it to three years or perhaps even shorter?
-I think it's possible. -[guffaws] You...
A-reum did a great job.
I'll take care of this situation myself.
[Oracle CEO] Of course. You know I'm counting on you, Chief Kang. Hmm.
[keyboard clacking]
-You got something? -Oh, yes.
This is all the data we got from Oracle,
this one here is from Jay Fund,
and this is a list of all reliable companies
that are currently working on developing new materials for construction projects.
[intense music playing]
-Schedule a meeting. -Yes, sir.
Remember to send over the drafted contract.
Yes, of course, sir.
[indistinct chatter]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Gu-ho] Well, what is this Salvador Rios individual like?
[Yi-rang] He is a third-generation Korean,
who has a Mexican grandfather and a Korean grandmother.
Then if we emphasize that we're all Koreans,
it'll be easier to get him to sign.
That'll be of no use.
He's notorious for demanding even higher amounts of money
from all Korean partners he ends up doing business with.
Wow, you really did some very thorough research in advance.
I have a habit of conducting thorough and necessary research
before starting negotiations.
Don't you think it's just basic business acumen, Mr. Cho?
Director Kang, we may not have researched his background so thoroughly,
but we can definitely support you financially. Yeah.
It feels reassuring to hear that.
-[chuckles] We feel more reassured-- -He's arrived! [laughs]
[Yi-rang] Where did he learn that type of conniving behavior?
[mysterious music playing]
[music swells, fades]
[upbeat music playing]
Hi, everyone.
[moans]
Oh, delicioso. Why is this so delicious?
-Sexy food! [laughs] -[Yi-rang chuckles]
-I'm glad you're enjoying the meal. -[James] I like it. I love it.
What are your thoughts on the contract we sent you?
[grunts]
There's only one thing I want.
Fifteen million dollars.
[chuckles] Are you referring to the initial deposit?
Yes, yes, of course. [moans] Money, money, I love money.
It's importantante.
-That's how much? -Twenty billion won.
[gasps]
[Yi-rang] Why is he surprised at such amount?
Just one week.
Until then, I won't do it.
I simply cannot do it.
Then it's no use.
[hesitates] N-No use?
[dramatically] No effin use!
-[exclaims] -No fucking use?
-Okay? -[chuckles] Now, I see.
[zany music playing]
See you.
[sighs]
[door opens, shuts]
Twenty billion won.
Can we pay this with the government fund?
If I had a month, I might actually be able to do it.
[Hyeon-uk] With the current state of things, it's tough.
[Yo-seop] I'll call you back.
-[Yi-rang] All right. Thank you. -How did it go?
So we can only get a mortgage on the building,
if we have the original contract.
But even then, it will take up to three weeks.
Other option is getting a loan from the government,
-would take about two weeks-- -We don't have the contract yet.
[cell phone beeps]
Mr. Cho, here.
I WILL START A FUNDRAISER 20 BILLION WON CAN BE PREPARED IN 5 DAYS
Director Kang, I think we can prepare 20 billion won in five days.
Chairman Cho will go ahead and raise funds amongst the retired chairmen.
[chuckles] Of course. I appreciate it.
-Director Kang, drive safe. -Thank you for your work.
-Yes, Lawyer Lee. Good night.
-[car door shuts] -[engine starts]
He really gets on my nerves.
We need to have a talk.
[suspenseful music playing]
[brakes squeak]
[yells] Why the hell are you acting like this?
-Seriously, keep your voice down. -[loudly] Why?
If Chairman Cho actually provides the money,
what the hell happens to our plan?
Wait, "our plan"?
-Ah. My plan. My plan. -Then go ahead change your damn plan.
Take revenge only on Kang Yo-seop.
-Just focus on him, okay? -[sighs]
Why are you trying to drag along your innocent co-workers,
when it's clear that they adore you so much?
[Yi-rang scoffs]
Mr. Cho, it seems you're mistaken.
Now that you've become Chairman Cho's adopted son,
do you not care anymore about taking revenge?
Do you only care about the good life, the success, and all that damn money?
[groans] Hey, Yun Yi-rang. Seriously, what do you take me for?
How can you say all of that like it's nothing?
-[Yi-rang scoffs] -Huh?
I have the perfect plan to bring Kang Yo-seop down,
so just stay out of it.
[scoffs] What?
Yeah.
Since when did this revenge plan become yours?
That bastard Kang Yo-seop killed my father.
Oh, so your pain is bigger than mine, right?
I never said that.
You have no idea how much pain I went through, do you?
You never even cared to ask.
While you were safe and having fun at that theme park,
I was trapped in a dark, cramped attic,
forced to play games with men in masks, pretending to have the time of my life,
never knowing if they'd actually kill me. Get it? [sobs]
You never really cared about my pain or how terrified I was.
[somber music playing]
How about living without my dad?
Huh? Can you imagine a life like that?
If your father had been murdered like mine,
you think you would've been able to handle that?
[scoffs]
Listen, ever since the day I was kidnapped,
I've never been able to escape his clutches.
And he's standing right before my eyes
and all I can do is endure it and do absolutely nothing!
No one told you to!
If you can't handle all the pressure, then stay out!
I don't have what it takes right now to deal with your emotions.
Now that you're Cho Jeong-hyeon, you've really changed.
[sighs]
Just stay out of this with that Silvador or Salvador, or whatever his name is.
Or I'm going to tell him everything.
[loudly] Hey, Myung Gu-ho!
[sighs]
[door slams shut]
[shudders]
[Yo-seop scoffs]
Kim A-reum.
[chuckles]
The more I think about it, the cuter she is.
[chuckles]
[cell phone vibrating]
Yes, sir.
Check in with Salvador and schedule dinner for us.
Okay, any particular restaurant?
-[Yo-seop] I'll send the address. -Okay.
I'll go ahead, schedule it, and send you a confirmation.
Okay. Thank you.
[chuckles softly]
[pleasant music playing]
I prepared this meet-up, to let you know that
the deposit we discussed soon will be ready.
Okay, good. Good, okay.
The rest of the money,
that amount we couldn't get,
it was because of certain complications, our apologies.
-Uh, he apologizes-- -Never mind.
Yeah, always prefer it cozy. Cozy just between all of us.
Co... Is it "cozy"?
-Cozy, sir. -Cozy. Very. How nice!
[chuckles] You are quite fluent in Korean.
No, no. I'm not fluent in Korean.
I'm a fool.
[chuckles] Based on the fact that he said "in vain"
in our last conversation, we thought he was fluent.
Oh, that. Doing things in vain!
-[chuckles] -[James] Very good.
My grandmother was Korean.
So, listening, a little.
But speaking?
Terrible!
Why can I not do it?
[chuckles] Well, you're very good.
Is it okay? Thank you.
If you're done with your meal, I have prepared something special for us.
-Shall we all go downstairs? -[James] Okay.
[chuckles]
I really enjoy playing chess.
[sinister music playing]
A-reum, do you know how to play?
Whoever manages to beat me plays with Salvador.
-What do you say? -Okay. Why not?
[breathes nervously]
[music intensifies]
[Yo-seop] Checkmate.
-[masked man] Checkmate. -[young Yi-rang screams]
[masked man] Found you. Too bad.
I won again.
Since you lost, you need to get punished. [laughs maniacally]
[intense music playing]
What? Are you again feeling unwell?
No. [pants] I just stayed up late last night.
Does it feel terrible to know that you're still
unable to beat me in a game of chess?
[music intensifies]
Yun Yi-rang.
[ominous music playing]
What?
-You knew all along? -[chuckles]
I knew something was fishy when our Mr. Salvador,
who supposedly couldn't speak English well, asked for $15 million.
It was pretty darn sloppy, kid.
Fifteen million dollars.
[Yo-seop] That meant he knew the amount I had to spare.
[Yi-rang yells] Why are you acting like this?
[Yo-seop] You think I didn't recognize you, being so careless?
If Chairman Cho actually provides the money,
what happens to our plan?
Take revenge only on Kang Yo-seop. Just focus on him, okay?
Only take revenge on me?
[Yi-rang] Since when did this revenge plan become yours?
That bastard Kang Yo-seop killed my father.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
Myung Gu-ho?
Myung Gu-ho is actually Myung Jin-su's son?
[chuckles softly]
Oh my, yes. Yi-rang's bodyguard.
[chuckles]
You're having such a hard time acting silly at your age.
-I'm gonna kill you. -Anyway...
These two actually entertained me so damn much.
What are you saying?
Your life is ruined, just as I had suspected all these years.
[chuckles] I couldn't be happier.
Shut up, you motherfucker!
[James] I saw this coming and prepared for it.
-Mr. Ray-Bang! -[man 1] Shut up!
Everyone keep your mouths shut! Don't you dare move.
Who are you people?
You really think I brought you here without a plan?
What do you think?
I tried to recreate the mood from back then.
[suspenseful music playing]
Remember?
[laughing]
[James] Yi-rang, are you okay?
-[yells] You bastard! -[laughing maniacally]
[music swells, fades]
Even if you work together, you still have a low chance
of successfully enacting your revenge.
And yet, you went really overboard, Gu-ho.
You piece of shit.
[chuckles] Hey, I'm disappointed.
You know, your smile used to be really warm and infectious.
[chuckles]
[dramatic music playing]
-[Yo-seop] You must be Gu-ho. -Do you know me?
I know you very well.
Your daddy couldn't get off the ship
because he wanted to buy you nice clothes and toys,
also send you to taekwondo academy when you get into elementary school.
[scoffs] I knew he wasn't going to come back.
-But he sent your uncle. -[Gu-ho] Uncle?
I don't have any uncles. Are you friends with my dad?
[chuckles] Of course, we're super close.
And, when you're close to people, you can refer to them as uncles.
So your dad asked me to pick you up and take you to a very special theme park.
There's this big awesome theme park in Seoul
-that's called Any World. -[gasps] Did you say Any World?
[Yo-seop] Hand.
What would've happened if you hadn't held my hand?
[inhales sharply] Then I would've just looked for someone else.
And it wouldn't have been your dad that had to die.
He's just bullshitting. Don't listen to him, Gu-ho.
What? Are you worried that he'd be traumatized like you?
Then, let me make it painfully clear.
Your father died only because of you, Myung Gu-ho.
-You motherfucker! -Because you held my hand back then,
I was able to get my ransom very easily.
Thanks to you, I'm living my best life, don't you see?
-You shit. -[laughing]
[breathes heavily]
Are you done?
[breathes heavily]
Don't act like you didn't know, you ungrateful bastard.
[grunts angrily]
-No, Gu-ho! Don't do that. -[James] Gu-ho!
[Yi-rang] Gu-ho! Gu-ho, don't do that.
[man] Put the gun down, you bastard!
Do it.
I'll kill you, you bastard. [breaths heavily]
What?
Are you scared to shoot me?
You can't do it?
[gun clicks]
Do it. Pull the trigger!
Shut up, damn evil asshole. [sobs]
If you don't shoot me down now, they'll all end up dying.
Shoot me.
[Yi-rang breathing shakily]
[intense music playing]
[crying, sniffles]
[chuckling manically]
[sniffles]
[inhales sharply] How did the cowboys do it during their classic face offs?
-One, two, three. -[footsteps thudding]
-[gun clicks] -Bang!
[sinister music playing]
-[screams] Gu-ho! -[James yells] No!
-Gu-ho! -[yells] You motherfucker!
I'll kill you, you fucking asshole! [pants]
Yi-rang, this is the part where you get on your knees and beg.
Shut the fuck up, you fucking asshole.
[loudly] Call an ambulance. Now!
Why would I call an ambulance?
All of you here must die for me to live.
We'll pretend nothing happened, but call an ambulance.
Did you have to make all that fuss about taking revenge on me?
He is dying because of that.
Just like his dad died because of him,
you're responsible for his death right now.
-[yelps] It's all your fault! -Shut it.
[dramatic music playing]
[music intensifies, fades]
[cell phone vibrating]
CHIEF SECRETARY BAEK HYEON-UK
Yes?
[Hyeon-uk] Abdullah just arrived to sign the contract.
-Oh, Abdullah? Right now? -[Hyeon-uk] Yes.
-[Yo-seop] I'll see you in a few. -[Gu-ho groans]
-Gu-ho? Gu-ho. -[James] Gu-ho, wake up.
-[Yi-rang] Gu-ho. -[James] Gu-ho, wake up.
[weakly] I...
Don't talk. You don't have to say anything.
[staggered breathing] But I'm happy that both of you are here.
Keep them all here until I'm back. I won't be gone too long.
-What if he dies? -[chuckles] Then that was his fate.
-[James] Gu-ho. -[Yi-rang] Gu-ho. Gu-ho.
-[yells] Gu-ho! -[exhales]
[screams] I'll kill you, Kang Yo-seop!
[shouts]
[thrilling music playing]
[children exclaiming, clapping]
[music intensifies, fades]
[tires screeching]
[deep sigh]
Oh, Chief Kang.
Hello, sir.
-Please, uh, take a seat. -Thanks.
[sighs]
Oh, uh, you got something on your face.
Oh. [chuckles] I must've cut myself while shaving.
[Hyeon-uk] I see. [chuckles]
So how did it go with Salvador?
His company turned out to have some issues.
So I'm planning to sign a contract with a company from India.
-Will it affect our contract today, sir? -[chuckles]
Don't worry about it. I'll explain everything to him.
[sighs] Abdullah's coming in person to sign the contract.
[inhales] He must've been impressed by your designs, sir.
It's thanks to your diligent and passionate hard work.
[chuckles] Congratulations in advance.
[chuckles softly]
I can't believe I'm enjoying all of this right now.
Oh, there he is.
[mysterious music playing]
[exhales]
[James] Open it.
Abdullah is expressing his warmest feelings to you.
Open it, please.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Yi-rang] Checkmate.
[in Arabic] Peace be with you.
[in Arabic] My darling.
[tense music playing]
How does it feel to fall for it, dumbass?
[thrilling music playing]
What the hell have you done, Yi-rang?
Where should I start so you can quickly catch-up and understand?
[in Arabic] Peace be with you.
[Yi-rang] Mmm...
[bell rings]
[Yi-rang] I'm more than happy to explain how Gu-Ho and I reconciled.
[lively music playing]
[voice shaking] Gu-ho...
[sobs] Please forgive me. I just didn't...
[sobbing] ...want to live with
a lonely broken heart, feeling like I feel right now.
I wish you had never found out the truth. [sniffles]
Ugh, seriously? Hey, dude, why are you crying in here?
Forgive me...
-[Yi-rang sniffles] -Well, I'm sorry, as well.
It looks like...
James wants to see us?
[Yi-rang] And that's how we made amends and became whole once again.
On the way to your summer house,
we had already gathered information and devised a plan.
-Hey! What the hell? -[coughing] Open the door!
[men coughing]
[upbeat stealthy music playing]
[Ray-bang] Uh, these guns have blanks. No live rounds.
Bang!
-[screams] Gu-ho! -[James] No! Gu-ho.
-[Yi-rang] You motherfucker! -[gargling, choking]
-[Yi-rang] I'll kill you, you asshole! -Gu-ho!
-[gargling] -[James crying]
What about Abdullah, and the whole video conference we had?
That was nothing but a combo of deepfake and deepvoice. It was perfect.
I have thoroughly reviewed the Mega Eco City design
that was sent from South Korea.
As I expected, my prediction was correct.
The idea of placing the communal garden...
[overlapping chatter]
...multi-angle views and facilitate ventilation.
The idea of placing...
Do you know how many times I had to switch my makeup because of you? Idiot!
The Infrastructure Minister?
[sighs]
The chief secretary.
Uh, thanks, Hyeon-uk.
-[James] You can leave. Bye. -[Yi-rang] Hmm.
I'm sorry.
James is quite the expert in this field.
Do you have any idea how incredibly busy I was?
Sweetie. [giggles]
[upbeat music playing]
-Mmm. I missed you. -[Sang-hui] Me too.
-You look so pretty today. -Let's go.
[both chuckle]
[Yi-rang] I sent you to check on them, and you end up completely falling for her.
[sighs] Stop it.
Oh! Isn't that them? They're coming. They're coming... That way.
-Take pictures! There they are. -[camera shutter clicking]
Oh, oh! They're out of the car. Look, hurry! Don't miss their faces.
There... There! We got it.
[nervously] Eun-su?
Hi, sweetie. I actually have some business with Hyeon-uk today.
Hyeon-uk, you look absolutely phenomenal in pictures.
Like a damn magazine shoot.
Honestly, your wife would love these.
Who are they? I thought you got divorced.
You know, that's not the most important point of this conversation,
Honorable Secretary of Transportation.
-How did you find this out? -[Sang-hui] Did you...
just use me for intel?
Is this what you meant by a romance affair?
Disappointing.
["Giddy Up" by Lee Raon playing]
See you later.
-[stuttering] Sweetie. -Sweetie? Jesus!
-Watch your mouth, asshole. -[chuckles]
Turns out that you tied the knot with the great
Congressman Kim Jin-su's second daughter
about two months ago, give or take, right?
Please don't tell anyone, I'm begging you!
If my father-in-law ever finds out, he would kill me.
I'd be a dead man. Please help me just this once.
Oh. It'd be sad to have the newlywed groom die on us.
[James] True. This is probably better than dying.
Uh, w-what?
-Just take it. -This will come in handy later.
WASH & HAPPY
Hey, Hyeon-uk, you ready?
Make one wrong move, and your wife will see
the photos of you having an affair.
Don't do anything stupid. Let's get it!
["Not Turning Back" by Keon Hee (ONEUS) playing]
The Minister would love to speak with you.
The Infrastructure Minister?
Is it all right if I connect you to him?
[James] Let's say that call was a deepvoice.
[Yo-seop] But he showed up in person.
[Yi-rang] The Minister thought that the supporters of the project,
were simply a private enterprise that you had formed,
so he stopped by to show his support.
Oh, that reminds me.
CEO Lee from Oracle Engineering and I
have been best friends since we were little.
-[Yo-seop] Chairman Cho? -[Yi-rang] We saw your greed
when you insisted on building your supposed utopia
of the Mega Eco City development.
[Gu-ho] We sneaked in where Chairman Cho was staying.
[Yi-rang] If Chairman Cho agreed to join,
you wouldn't have been able to help but buy in.
-I need to get revenge. -[knock at door]
[Yi-rang] Gu-ho did his best, but he just couldn't convince him on his own.
But as it turns out, Chairman Cho Man-bok of the Jay Fund
is actually my dad's best friend.
Uncle Man-bok, would you be willing to help us?
Don't forget that I'm a second-generation chaebol.
-What? -[Yi-rang] You haven't, have you?
The pretty lady upstairs, Yun Yi-rang.
[Man-bok laughs]
A hot girl checked into the women's floor this morning.
Don't worry about any of that and focus on passing your exams.
[Man-bok] Yun Yi-rang is basically part of my family.
I've known her since she was little. She's pretty much my niece.
How's your father doing, my dear?
I was waiting for my chance to tell you, but everything just got so out of control.
Ah, goodness.
The honest truth is that without the help of Manager Gu,
I'd certainly be in hell already.
Should I say that Heaven indeed helped us?
[Man-bok laughs]
Come on.
[both laughing]
This is all fake, you know? [laughing]
We're not family by blood, but bonded by loyalty,
so we don't easily break apart.
See, an opportunist and murderer like you,
would never understand these kinds of connections
no matter how much money and power you acquired.
Exactly.
[chuckling]
So you think you can push me to the bottomless pit?
Well, who else is here aside from us?
[both laughing]
[inhales] If you apologize now, I'll consider accepting it.
Really? [inhales]
-Why do I need to apologize? -For what you did to me.
Twenty-five years ago.
[laughing]
[inhales] Are you recording it or something?
Are you trying to incriminate me by getting a false statement?
Don't tell me, you already forgot
about the clever game you created just to kidnap me?
What are you talking about?
Why the fuck would I do something like that?
[intense music playing]
I knew...
that you were never going to apologize.
So why would you do all this now?
Why do all this?
To stall.

RESTRICTED NUMBER
What's this?
-Hello? -[James] Hello.
Is this Chief Detective Park Ju-seong?
-Who is this? -Long time no see. It's Seo In-jae.
Seo In-jae?
I heard you're going to hang up your badge soon.
-Let me offer you a retirement gift. -What retirement...
-[line disconnects] -Hello? Hello...
[suspenseful music playing]
[cell phone vibrating]
YI-RANG, GU-HO THE TRUTH BEHIND THEIR ABDUCTION
[Yo-seop] Why? Are you worried that he'd be traumatized like you?
Because you held my hand back then, I was able to get my ransom very easily.
Thanks to you, I'm living my best life, don't you see?
-You shit. -[laughing]
GRAND PEACE HOTEL
[James] The culprit is currently at the cafe inside the Grand Peace Hotel.
Oh, this asshole. This case has haunted me my whole career.
Hey! Over here. This way.
[rapid footsteps]
[pants] Kang Yo-seop.
-[blows] -[Ju-seong] You're under arrest
for kidnapping Yun Yi-rang and the murder of Myung Jin-su
25 years ago.
[scoffs] Do you have evidence?
Evidence? [sighs]
We secured evidence a long time ago, you arrogant asshole.
[scoffs]
As far as I'm concerned, that incident took place in April 2000.
The statute of limitations has already legally run out.
You can tell me all of that nonsense at the station quietly.
[yells] Hey!
Nobody move.
[suspenseful music playing]
You left for Germany after the incident, correct?
For about two years?
While you're abroad, your statute of limitations gets suspended.
So you still have one year remaining, you idiot!
-Yeah, got it, you idiot? -Huh?
What in the fuck?
-[Gu-ho exclaims] -[gunshot]
Are you crazy? It's a toy gun, man.
-[James] Haven't learned your lesson yet. -Shit!
[Ju-seong] Hey, what are you doing? Chase him!
-Hurry up and get him! -[policeman] Yes, sir.
[Yo-seop panting]
[policeman 1] Stop there!
Hey!
-[grunts] Hey! -[car starting]
Open the door. Open up! Open it!
-[grunting] -[tires screech]
-[policeman 1 grunts] -No, no, no!
[tires screeching]
Yun Yi-rang,
you want to catch me?
-[laughing] -[sirens wailing]
[tires screeching]
[Yo-seop] I can always find a way.
[sirens wailing continues]
-[young Yi-rang] Checkmate. -[gasps]
What the hell? [breathing shakily]
If you committed a crime, then you need to pay for it.
[pants] Oh, shit. Fuck.
Although it's too late for you.
What the hell?
What are you going to do? You're done for.
I am the final winner of this game of ours.
No. It's not over yet.
You just wait. You'll see who wins out in the end.
-[echoing] Checkmate. -[yelling]
[Yi-rang, echoing] Checkmate.
-[horn honking] -[Yo-seop] No.
-You can't beat me. [laughs] -[sirens wailing]
Sure. Bring it on.
[laughing maniacally] It's not over yet.
[horn honking]
[yelling] This is not the end, it's not!
-[tires screeching] -[horns honking]
[music intensifies]
-[sirens wailing] -[tires screeching]
[Ju-seong] Hey, hurry up!
Request support. Tell them it's urgent, so they send the search team first.
[anchor] After a month-long search,
police have recovered the car of Josef Architects' CEO, Kang Yo-seop,
which had plunged off a bridge earlier during the week.
Kang's whereabouts remain unknown, and with no further trace of him,
the police have announced they are now...
You were a coward till the end, Kang Yo-seop.
Up until the incident, Kang had been very active
in his role as CEO of Josef Architects, as well as--
Okay, great job, everyone! We did great!
Well done!
-Great job! -Incredible, guys.
-[all cheering] -Good job!
Thank you.
Here.
[in unison] Cheers!
[upbeat music playing]
[smacks lips, exhales]
While I was away from you all, I realized I can't live without you all.
-Yes, you can. -Why?
-[Gu-ho] You can. -But why?
You seemed to be doing all right with that pretty lady.
We calling it a middle-aged romance or...
Oh, a middle-aged romance.
-[all] A middle-aged romance. -[loudly] Shut up!
I was only focusing on the responsibilities of my role.
He damn sure was...
unnecessarily immersed in his make-believe role.
Yes. I was fully immersed.
No, you wanted to be in love. You wanted love.
The coolest one was definitely Gu-ho. Jay Fund's successor? [blows kiss]
Hey, Gu-ho, you were destined for that role.
-Suits me well, right? -[all] Yes.
-You were really annoying. -What?
I only want to play roles like this one 'cause I'm a natural.
-What? [inhales] -[James] Sure thing.
-Well, cheers. -[glasses clinking]
-Gosh, it's finally over. -Says who, huh?
Not yet?
-[Gu-ho] It's not over? -No.
What do you mean?
We're just getting started.
Hey...
I thought we started our vacations today.
Shit, I have a homecoming party.
-Where at? -Seocho-dong.
-What? -Why are you going to Seocho-dong now?
-Aren't you from Seoul? -I was raised in Seocho-dong.
-Didn't you guys know that? -And your accent?
-Do sound like I have an accent? -[all laughing]
Actually, I...
booked a summer church camp experience out of town.
Oh. Amen.
-Amen. -[James] Oh my gosh.
-There's also my trip. -With your girlfriend?
[chuckles] Well, yes.
-[James] Forgot about her. -It happened.
All right. Everybody, hold up.
This is a pretty big round. How about double or nothing?
-Double. Then I'm in. -[all] Double!
[overlapping chatter]
How exciting!
For this round, Hong Kong's black market has...
Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi making the rounds with several buyers.
Isn't Salvator Mundi a painting that Samjin Group owned?
Hold on. Isn't Samjin Group that awful company
that blamed a wastewater dump on a low-level employee last year?
You got it. That nonsense was all the chairman's son's doing.
But now that it's all about to be revealed,
they're trying to sell the artwork any way they can, just to cash in.
-Cheap tricks. -No matter how hard we work,
these pieces of shit just won't disappear for good!
-Why the world needs people like us. -That's right.
-Safe to say we're all in? -Of course we're in.
-Yes. -Call it.
-Okay. -[James] Yeah.
-Shall we begin? -[all] Let's get it!
Whoo!
