Can I have a go?
What were you thinking?
What were you thinking about as you shot?
That I should shoot the bottle.
Is there someone you'd like to shoot?
You asked for a gun when you have no one you want to shoot?
Do you have lots of people you want to shoot?
The truth is,
there's no one I don't want to shoot.
I feel the same.
It didn't look like part of the show.
It's camcorder footage.
Who took it?
(Reporter Woo Young Ki)
Hello, Mr. Woo.
This evening in Ganghyeon-gu,
a man fell to his death from the roof of network enterprise...
of Navis Well-being's headquarters.
Police identified him...
as Director Ma Kang Soo who hosted an investment briefing...
that evening in the very building.
Reporter Kim Jun Young has the story.
I'm outside Navis Well-being.
Director Ma hosted an investment briefing...
from which he left in a hurry...
after being accused of stock manipulation.
About two hours later,
Ma fell to his death from the roof.
Police arrested suspect Lee...
at the scene who admitted to killing Ma.
The CEO who was injured...
was taken to a hospital in Seoul.
How does it look?
We lost a lot of the files we got from Navis...
during the briefing.
We're exposed, aren't we?
Yes. They got to us.
Let's pack up.
We'll stay with Ring Go for a while.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Is she okay?
She wouldn't be. Her home's exposed.
What about you?
It's not the first time I got such a message.
It's a bit...
different.
It's more of an invitation than a warning.
As if he'll appear in person.
Hey, I'm here.
- You were smoking, weren't you? - No.
Have you lost your mind?
Do you want to get kicked out again?
Don't you hear them blasting announcements...
day and night because of you?
Tell them to kick me out. I feel so cooped up here.
I want to go home!
You really are driving me nuts.
Would you look at yourself before you talk such nonsense?
- I told you to pick up some beers. - Your bones won't heal!
Aren't you in pain?
- It's not too bad. - You can laugh now?
Hey, smile a little. Did someone die or something?
Oh, that's right. Ma Kang Soo died.
- Hey, are you okay? - With what?
- You got beaten up. - Oh, that.
Come on. It's nothing new.
We got beaten up like this many times in the past.
It's just been a while. That's all.
And if the one who beat you up dies,
you have nothing to say.
My dad beat me up all the time. And when he died,
I had nothing to say.
I couldn't even resent him.
I'm cool about these things.
I don't hold grudges.
But why did you go to Ma Kang Soo, of all people?
Because he had the power.
As soon as I joined hands with him,
he knocked out one of Jang Kyung Ja's men.
Always side with the stronger one.
That's your logic? You're nuts.
Darn it. Ma Kang Soo ordered me...
to find the notebook we had been looking for, and I was so close.
"Notebook?"
What notebook? Jang Kyung Ja burned it.
No, we put up a camera in her office and watched her.
Was it a lighter? She hid something in it.
- Yes, a converted one. - What did she hide in it?
No idea. I assumed it was a copy of the notebook.
- Have you told Ro Um about this? - No, not yet.
Don't tell her.
- Why not? - Da Jung's store was broken into,
so she's frazzled right now.
The comic book store? Who's the jerk that did this?
The president.
We lost most of the data obtained through the hacking tool...
Na Sa had installed.
They were all important evidence.
I should've been more careful. I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
She's right. It's not your fault, Da Jung.
We duped them, so why is it that I feel like we've been duped?
The operation was focused on Ma Kang Soo, and we blew it all.
We managed to put a stop to the stock manipulation.
We put a stop on the wrap-up, and it'll impact the president.
And overall, we reduced the scope of the damage.
You saved the victims.
I'll start preparing for a class action suit.
It'll be a roadblock to every final move...
Navis Well-being could take.
But lawsuits can take a long time.
Well, it'll take some time to gather plaintiffs.
But once I have enough people, we can expedite things.
Nothing puts more pressure on a fraud case...
than a class action suit.
When we're filing the complaint, we can put in a request...
for searches and seizures on Navis' properties and its executives...
as well as travel bans.
But they'll destroy all evidence and get ready to flee.
You guys all know...
what fraudsters would do to cover their tracks.
If we make sure they can't destroy evidence,
would we find things through a search and seizure?
Let's hope so.
The president reacted...
and is likely to make a move.
So let's get to work too.
The situation isn't looking bad.
People are starting to suspect Navis,
and the investigative agencies are keeping an eye on them too.
We should search their head office first.
I'll try to restore the data.
I should be able to find some helpful data.
First, let's tie down Navis.
The information was revealed to the public first,
which is unprecedented for a stock manipulation case.
A file revealing its details was shared on a blog called HOJUNG.
Thanks to that, we were able to prevent the worst-case scenario.
Reporter Woo Young Ki from Moran Daily is here to tell us more.
- Hello. - Hello.
I heard you predicted the stock manipulation.
To put it more precisely, I predicted Ma Kang Soo's scams.
- Right. - It was all thanks to HOJUNG.
The blog, HOJUNG, was created...
by Mr. Yeon Tae Hoon, the father of Yeon Ho Jung,
the victim of Darusa International,
another pyramid scheme by Ma Kang Soo.
It was created to expose pyramid schemes.
I see. Let's watch Mr. Yeon Tae Hoon's interview...
before we continue.
(Yeon Tae Hoon, manages blog "HOJUNG")
Ma Kang Soo died...
without paying for what he did.
However, Navis Well-being still remains.
There are still many things involving Navis Well-being...
that must be investigated.
If the investigation is carried out in a fair, transparent manner,
I believe...
there will be no more victims like my daughter, Ho Jung.
"Things involving Navis Well-being that must be investigated?"
By that, was he referring to the stock manipulation scandal?
They're suspected to have committed many other illegal deeds.
Today, the full archive about Navis Well-being...
will be revealed through HOJUNG, the blog.
The blog will continuously be updated with new cases.
Send us tip-offs.
From Navis' former members, current members,
franchisees, and customers.
Send us anything and everything you know.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Just a comment, please!
- Is it really true? - Just one comment, please!
None of the files about the stock manipulation mentions your name.
And now that Ma Kang Soo is dead, the case is no longer indictable.
The Financial Supervisory Service's audit will make us uneasy,
but...
I'm more worried about the blog posts.
So what are you saying we should do?
Were all the bribes just a big waste of money?
Of course, I'm doing my very best to stop them.
Public opinion is the problem.
We're getting many refund requests,
and the local branches are thrown upside down due to the prepayments.
If we tolerate these things, we'll go bankrupt...
before we even know it.
We really don't have much time left.
You must seal the deal with your higher-ups.
Can't the branches manage their members better?
Can they not think?
If the company is audited, and if the CEO ends up in jail,
will they get their prepayments back?
Do they actually think that?
Teach them that first!
What does it mean for the company to be in jeopardy?
What is the attitude they must have now?
Yes, ma'am.
Start getting things sorted out internally.
Customers are still demanding refunds from Navis Well-being.
Navis stated that refunds would be processed in due order...
through the company's local branches...
and that the company...
would take legal action against any speculative allegations.
Navis Well-being...
has 100,000 members.
All tip-offs will be shared with us,
and we've obtained some internal documents.
I'm hoping the firm could side with the victims.
Help me.
Refund requests are pouring in,
and Navis Well-being...
The comic book store. Was that you?
Is that important to you?
It's not like you didn't see this coming.
This is now a totally different game for both of us.
There's no middle ground.
You said you'd help us this time.
I asked you to make sure the briefing would end safely.
I did not know that Jang Kyung Ja would kill someone.
She nearly died too...
because of you.
I gave her a chance.
- But she declined. - What chance?
A chance to hand over the president.
She knows who the president is.
Was that the content of the notebook you tried to steal?
A gun's only meaningful when there's someone to shoot.
No, you've had a change of heart.
You're counting on the prosecution and the media.
Did Jeokmok not teach you?
You should never count on such things.
This, I didn't know.
The fact that you can never really join hands with me.
- Lee Ro Um. - I don't care how you do it...
or what your reason is.
You'd better not mess with us.
Let me say this again. It's just that there was no one to shoot.
It wasn't because I didn't have a gun.
(Woo Young Ki, Moran Daily)
The choice is yours. Either take your hands off it or quit.
Those who go off on their own shouldn't be on my team.
What will you do?
Is it about our parent company?
The thing with Ma Kang Soo while covering the Darusa scandal?
Are you afraid it'd be brought up again?
Look at you running your mouth...
when you did a TV interview without even informing your boss.
Do you feel like a martyr?
So, get out of this place and write anything you want.
Now I get it.
Now I see what I liked so much about Han Moo Young.
That lawyer and I were...
both crazy people who had to make crazy choices in crazy situations.
Oh, and I'm fired,
so don't you dare take away my severance pay.
Try me and see what happens. I'll dig into everything.
What kind of press walks on eggshells...
- Gosh, seriously... - What's wrong with him?
- Mr. Woo. - Hello.
Hi, there.
Were you fired?
No, I quit.
It was such a small company unfit for a great reporter like me.
- I'm sorry. - I'm telling you the truth.
I got on the mass media,
so I'm going to be an investigative journalist.
Have a drink with us later tonight.
Yes, it's on us.
Goodness.
Thank you. I was craving some alcohol.
By the way,
do you mind if I crash here for a few days?
Gosh.
The contract papers all seem fabricated.
But there's no evidence.
How's the restoration going?
I'm trying the ones with high-security level first.
I'll be back in a minute.
She's so depressed.
Is it because of that video?
It means that she's tolerated all of that so far.
I can't even imagine how it must have been.
So, I'm trying to do what I can...
to help her.
I want to help her end it.
Right.
Okay.
(See you soon.)
Starting today, all private chats and data transfer...
between departments are banned.
The department heads will pick out important documents...
and register them all at the finance department.
Yes, sir.
We'll go through the hard drives for security.
Disconnect all your desktops.
That's a non-disclosure agreement.
If anyone violates it,
their sponsors will be responsible.
When the company struggles, we must show people...
how united we are...
to soothe the public.
They're talking about canceling and getting refunds,
but if this is fraud as they say,
that means you're accomplices.
Goodness.

(Jung Ji Hoon)
(Report)
We have a lot of tip-offs,
but they're all anonymous.
And none of them are current employees of Navis.
That's the thing about pyramid schemes.
They unite more than ever at a time like this.
This is going to take pretty long.

Wait.
Hello.
I threw something out by mistake,
and I'd like to get it back.
Hi, Da Jung.
Of course. I saved all the lists.
I'll send them to you now.
(353 D 2337)
Navis is currently managed by the financial director, Kim Yeol,
on behalf of Kyung Ja.
He used to be a prosecutor.
He locked the whole company down...
to prepare for the search and seizure.
We collected these today, but there were no shredded papers.
No hard drives either.
If they're distributing them to the employees,
it'll be impossible to collect all of them.
Yeol is currently going home from the head office.
I don't see anything strange yet.
I found something peculiar from the restored data.
Some of Navis' funds were transferred...
to an overseas corporation under the name of Ji Seung Don.
It may look like a normal contract,
but I think they're laundering money.
The name seemed familiar,
and it turned out to be from Mr. Woo's materials.
Take a look, guys.
I've been curious since I started investigating Jeokmok.
Who's the philanthropist that funded ten million dollars...
to help establish Jeokmok Foundation?
So I made a list of rich people who could afford such a sum...
and were related to Geumseong.
And one of them was Ji Seung Don.
The chairman of Jangsu Paper...
that was closed after Jeokmok was founded.
He's almost 90 years old.
We had never heard of that name while we were in Jeokmok.
That means that we found something that's been hidden thus far.
I thought it'd be worth it to look into it,
considering they still use this.
I plan on investigating the people around Ji Seung Don.
Actually,
I'll help.
What about the lawsuit?
The members of the local branches won't step up.
- Why not? - They've made prepayments.
They think they can't get it back if they file a complaint.
And Navis will give it back if they do nothing?
It's not like we can force them.
I'm going to visit the local branches myself.
You can use...
these towels,
but there's no room.
Contact Na Sa.
Come out.
- Right. - Right.
Na Sa!
Have you lost your mind? How did you get out?
I escaped.
Why did they dig it so deeply?
I could have died.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
Fifty percent.
What are you talking about? Go back to the hospital!
That hurts. Come on. Stop nagging.
Leave him alone. He says he's fine.
Ro Um knows what I'm talking about.
What's with all the furniture?
This is better.
What?
You found nothing from Navis?
No.
But they must be scared.
How do they still keep them?
Is there a place they can hide them?
You saw the blueprint.
If it's inside the building, we're doomed.
We don't have anyone to cooperate with us.
Their security is tighter,
and our engineer isn't healthy.
Wait.
What about the search and seizure when you sue them?
No one is willing to sue the company.
They're worried about losing their prepayments.
Gosh.
That's messed up.
Tell them that we'll pay them...
to sue the company together.
Do you think that makes sense?
Guys,
come to think of it, we never drank together.
It's not even healthy.
You don't know anything.
We're like this because we don't drink.
- What's wrong with us? - We're super awkward!
Who would think that we've shared a room for ten years?
It's so suffocating.
Maybe you're just uncomfortable to be here sober.
Hey.
Look at them. Their daily routine is like the one at prison.
Are you picking a fight or what?
But it's true!
Am I right?
Maybe you should check it out too.
You could probably quit drinking.
I've been to prison for three months because of used cars.
Is that a brag?
It's a fact.
Won't we all go to prison after this?
Well, it's nothing.
Guys.
She and I are on probation.
Then, the judge will say to us, "Little punk!"
Can you please shut it?
Gosh.
What did he say?
He told you to go to sleep.
Gosh. Well, say it in Korean next time.
You took your time.
Why did you make such a mess?
What should I have done?
Let Ma Kang Soo kill me?
Sit around doing nothing, lose the whole company,
realize what happened after wrap-up, and get ditched?
We picked up Director Ma's phone.
We heard your conversation with Lee Ro Um.
With Ma gone,
you should take responsibility.
If I die...
or go to prison,
the world...
will learn a great deal.
Is that a threat?
A threat, a deal.
Bring me a plan that'll get me out of the country within a week.
Do that, and once again,
I'll become a loyal servant.
Isn't it rough staying at the auto shop?
It is, isn't it?
Not even you can predict everything...
and prepare for it.
You must've been startled.
And worried about the comic book store.
Did you never consider this?
Each time we gain someone you call a teammate,
each time we consider someone...
you call a victim,
we gain more weaknesses.
There's only one reason I failed ten years ago.
It wasn't my stupidity,
Jang Kyung Ja's betrayal,
or misfortune.
It was because I wanted to protect someone.
At this rate,
we'll lose.
Because of the people we call friends.
Trying to protect them all.
You're right.
Protecting someone and becoming a team.
It's tough.
But we got this far, which means you're strong.
Not because I egged you on.
Without the courage, who'd have sided with all these people...
to fight for each other?
This isn't courage.
We're just a gang.
Admitting we need each other...
takes great courage.
I couldn't do that long ago.
When?
When my mother left.
I'd had a chance to make her stay.
A chance to ask her...
to stay and fight with me for me, and to get through it.
But I didn't have the guts to say it.
Truth be told,
I wasn't sure I could get through it.
You chose the option that helped...
not just yourself but everyone else.
Thanks to you, we'll become stronger...
and tougher.
Is that the better outcome?
Possibly?
Because until we win, we'll fight together.
For each other.
Mr. Na Su Ho.
What's going on? Where is he?
Na Sa.
What did Jang Kyung Ja's lighter look like?
You know, the one Jay used to use.
- The Eldenbridge one? - Yes.
Can you get an identical one?
Why?
What for?
To switch with Jang Kyung Ja's.
Is that Ro Um's idea?
Is that even possible? She carries it everywhere.
I'll ask Jay.
Would he help?
I'll ask at least.
Can you get me one?
It's really old.
I'll make a few calls and ask around.
Thank you.
Let's go. Ro Um will be waiting.
Darn it.
(To Do Errand Center)
Nice. You always have a plan, Ro Um.
Nothing has changed.
The result might, though.
It's easy compared to what we used to do.
Go on. Get to work.
Let's move it.
Where do you want these?
Put them over there.

Hello, miss.
Welcome to Bluemouse Financial Services.
Take a seat.
Navis Well-being. A pyramid company.
We're different. We're not like that.
Gosh. Even if you consider all the parts,
the cost is seven dollars.
How will you make money if you sell this for 700 dollars?
I didn't know how much it cost.
I just went with the price the company set.

Proof of salary and dividends,

Yes.
Yes, you can come together.
All right.
(I know nothing about law, but can I get a free consultation?)
They're inquiries.
I see. They're members of the local branches.
- Inquiries are pouring in. - All of a sudden?

Ro Um.
What?
Can I ask you something I've always been curious about?
What is it?
When I joined Jeokmok,
I kept trying to escape and got beaten up to a pulp.
Back then, why did you come to my rescue?
Because you looked like a magpie.
I saw you and thought you'd be like the faithful magpie.
A magpie? That was your first impression of me?
I see.
When I first met you, I thought you were so pretty.
You sure never waver.

Here.
You know...
I wasn't that helpful that day, right?
I've been feeling bad about it.
The only thing I can offer is therapy,
but I understand...
that it could sound absolutely foreign to Ro Um.
It's true that she lives in a different world.
But people like us have to listen to...
the likes of her and their stories about the world they live in.
You know?
I don't know about the operation that day,
but you did help me, Ms. Mo.
This will cool you down. Drink up.

Will it be hard?
(Navis Well-being)
Are you a member...
of Navis Well-being?
It's a legal multilevel marketing company.
The company is struggling a little for the time being,
but it was doing very well.
Everything will go back to normal once the CEO regains her health.
My mother ran away from home...
to get away from my dad.
- Say something! - What will you do?
- Do something! - Let go!
I understand that my salary is on the lower side.
It all depends on how hard you work,
and I didn't earn as much as I could.
Everyone else in the company earns good money.
But I have my prepayments,
so I'm planning to pay it off with that money.
The thing is, it's in the company's account at the moment.
I'll get it next month.
We don't issue loans.
Gosh, please.
I don't need that much.
I'd say, 2,000...
No, 1,500 dollars would do.
If I miss another rent payment,
I'll get in trouble.
(Bluemouse Financial Services)
It's not that.
This isn't a loan company.
We can give you legal advice.
Legal advice? About what?
Navis Well-being...
is a scam.
We're trying to gather victims...
to start a class action lawsuit.
You'll have to sue them...
to get your prepayments back.
Well...
I'm not trying to force you.
You can decide after consulting a lawyer...
I'm sorry.
Young lady, are you a lawyer?
No.
I'm not a lawyer.
Mr. Han.
She's here for a consultation.
She is Ms. Park Ja Young, a member of Navis Well-being.
Okay.
(Bluemouse Financial Services)
I'm so forgetful.
I left laundry in the washer.
Do you live in Seoul?
Yes.
So you really are...
a lawyer now?
Yes.
That is so impressive.
I heard you had to study very hard to become a lawyer.
How's your father?
He's well.
I see.
I must say,
your father at least knew...
how to put food on the table and provide for the family.
What about you, Mother? Have you been well?
I don't deserve to live well.
Don't say that. You should live a good life.
I wish you all the best.
I'm really...
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry...
you had to see this. How embarrassing.
- No, it's okay. - I must've been out of my mind.
I must've been totally out of my mind.
I had no idea that it was a scam.
I can help you now, Mother.
So put your worries to rest.
Your son is a lawyer. What's there to worry about?
I'm sorry.
(Kang Kyung Ho)
Yes.
I did the right thing.
I did the best I could do.
Darn it.
Han Moo Young.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for coming.
What did you want to ask me?
You said last time...
that we all owed Ro Um.
That occurred to me.
I need you to bring Ms. Jang's lighter.
The lighter? Why?
To settle my debt with Ro Um.
Don't you want to repay her for the last time?
Repay Ro Um, I mean.
Did you do this?
Yes.
My fever is gone, thanks to you.
Did the talk go well?
Yes.
The group is ready.
I'm going to finish it.
So are we.
We're almost ready.
You're visiting a sick person.
Where are the flowers?
I've come to give you one last chance.
Turn yourself in.
What are the terms?
Why do you need terms when you're paying for your sins?
They're not my sins.
I was used just like Ro Um was.
Then, come clean and tell us the mastermind.
Who ordered you to swindle hundreds of thousands of people?
If you don't tell us the truth,
that's your fault aside from the president.
No one took advantage of you.
You think I'm evil, don't you?
I think you're a criminal.
If I hadn't been born as myself,
I wouldn't have led this life.
Someone would have taken my place if not me,
and I was merely doing my job in my position.
I worked very hard...
to survive.
I was expecting at least a hint of responsibility.
But it was a waste of time.
My survival is my priority.
What's the point of all this when I'm dead?
Did it ever occur to you...
that catching the president was the safest way?
There's a world that you're not aware of.
I don't know about you,
but I like you.
We have something in common.
Do we?
We both gave our hearts to people...
who would never reciprocate.
I'll see you in court.
If you're lucky, that is.
Are you still working on it with her?
Ro Um's revenge.
Can you go as far as to kill a man?
For Ro Um.
You must think that's a good deed.
Just like ten years ago,
you will never be able to help her.
You'd be too busy trying to save Ms. Jang, anyway.
Not that I believe that you truly want to save her.
I contacted Ji Seung Don's son in the US.
Mr. Ji did donate all his fortune to Jeokmok Foundation.
That's why they grew apart,
and it's been years since the family cut off ties.
And they got a similar call looking for him ten years ago.
I reckon it was An Chae Hong.
They got a bill from a hospital that they had never heard of,
so they told Ji Seung Don about it.
Could it have been from Hyeseung Hospital?
The one that Hong Chang Ki drove An Chae Hong to.
Right.
We couldn't find anything as it was closed...
when we tried to look into it.
Anyway, they figured out from the bill...
that Ji Seung Don was in the VIP room in a vegetative state.
Who hospitalized him without telling his family?
He did have a caregiver.
An orphan from the orphanage that Ji had been sponsoring.
That's all I know.
Mr. Woo said he'd check out that orphanage.
To see if he can find anything.
Okay.
The members of Navis Well-being under the controversy...
of stock price manipulation and mass recall...
have sued the company for damages.
Other than similar deposit-taking, default on an obligation,
and violation of the Door to Door Sales Act,
they're also suspected of embezzlement and breach of trust.
We've currently requested that they be forbidden...
from leaving the country and be seized and searched.
The plaintiff's counsel, Park Cue,
has submitted the complaint...
of claiming one million dollars for damages...
on behalf of about 150 victims at the Seoul Central District Court.
The Financial Crimes Unit of Seoul Police Agency...
has announced to request a search warrant...
on the head office and branches of Navis Well-being.
We're here to execute a warrant.
This way.
What?
(Finance Department)
What's going on?
We got a tip that there was a secret room.
I asked the members of the local branches,
and they all said the same thing.
The branch representatives told them...
to send documents to the head office by express delivery too.
Some of the members had family members at the head office.
They were told to submit the documents and hard drives...
to the finance department.
Good. The rooms that were different from the floor plan.
The finance department on the second floor...
and between the pillars.
A secret room?
Yes. It's probably a fake wall.
A non-destructive device will do the trick.
(Fire Shutter)
Empty space confirmed, sir.
Open it.
How do I open it?
The police have arrested...
the financial director, Kim, without a warrant...
while searching the head office of Navis Well-being.
From the secret room of the building,
various flash drives, hard drives, and confidential papers were found.
There was also a bribe ledger with the names of officials...
in politics, the financial world, and the police.
At that moment, the pyramid scheme...
turned into the so-called Navisgate.
Navis Well-being's multilevel marketing...
of gift cards and membership businesses...
is estimated to have caused...
damages of at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
The prosecution has announced to form a task force...
to begin investigating...
Navis Well-being from a new perspective.
(Prosecutor Ryu Jae Hyuk)
This is Prosecutor Ryu Jae Hyuk.
I'm the district attorney of the Central Prosecutors' Office.
Yes, sir.
A notice has been sent to you.
Read it and come back to Seoul.
Yes, sir.
(Important Dates)
(Notice of Personnel Appointment)
(Ryu Jae Hyuk, Special Investigations)
Okay.
I'm going out.
Where are you headed?
To see Jay. He'll give me the lighter.
Are you wearing the watch?
You bet.
Send a signal right away so I can trace you.
I will.
You're nagging me?
See you later.
(Unknown)
(Geoseo-ro 20, Mabok-gu)
(Recents)
I'll pack up and follow you.
Jay.
Find Jay.
Sorry?
Jay. Find him.
Locate him right away.
You'll be late.
- If you miss the flight... - Turn the car around!
Where are the others?
Ring Go went to see Jay.
I don't know about the others.
Why would Ring Go meet Jay?
The lighter.
Jay said he'd give it to him.
What lighter?
Shoot. I knew it.
(Lee Ro Um)
The call cannot be connected.
Hey.
Hi, Moo Young. I wanted to ask you something.
The second trial will be on a much larger scale.
I'd like to find a firm to partner with.
- What do you think? - Oh, I see.
Let's do that.
Did you hear from Mr. Kang?
No, not recently.
He asked for your address, so I gave it to him.
Did you?
Watch out what you say to him.
If he realizes you're working with Lee Ro Um,
he could be quite upset.
How does he know about Ro Um?
Because you mentioned Jeokmok...
and talked about conning them and whatnot.
I never mentioned Ro Um to him.
Where did he hear about Jeokmok, then?
We talked about Ro Um...
because he brought her up.
I'll call you back.
(Maeil Encyclopedia)
(Volume 11, Page 34, Paragraph 4)
Jay.
Where's the lighter?
Thank you.
Okay.
What's that?
I'll return it to Ro Um.
Why bother?
Do you have any questions?
My name is...
Mr. Kang.
Come in.
It's hard, isn't it?
Did you see this?
Not yet.

(Since I became Jeokmok's director...)
(Jay that punk is the president.)
- The call... - Why won't he pick up?
(Reporter Woo Young Ki)
Is something wrong?
Hello.
Da Jung.
I just sent a photo.
The orphan who looked after Ji Seung Don.
Is it someone you know?
Hang on.
Is it in there?
The president's identity.
What?
Maeil Encyclopedia volume 11,
page 34, paragraph 4.
"J."
(Volume 11, Page 34, Paragraph 4)
(J, tenth letter of the English alphabet)
(Reporter Woo Young Ki)
(Jay that punk is the president.)
(Delightfully Deceitful)
Take me to the president.
Ro Um, did you like the gift?
What are you doing?
Who was killed?
What money? And how was it received?
Jeokmok is my world. My toy.
My plaything.
I listened to you, and I think it has only made me weaker.
Don't go alone. Please, Ro Um.
I'll take responsibility.
I'll put an end to this. I must.
Come back to where you belong.
I've waited for ten years.
You will die at my hands.
Do you know me?
(What is this guy?)
You could say he's unique?
An attention seeker who wants to look mysterious.
Do you tend not to lie?
You're pretty.
