PRODUCTION SUPPORTED BY
MINISTRY OF CULTURE, SPORTS, AND TOURISM
ALL FIGURES, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIONS,
INCIDENTS, GROUPS, OCCUPATIONS, AND OTHERS...
IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS.
Cheers.
Yes, sir.
Good work today.
- No problem, sir. - No problem, sir.
Let's eat.
That's right, sir.
You're really good.
Have you worked at a sashimi place before?
My old man...
was a fisherman.
When he was busy selling fish by auction,
I'd take a few in secret...
...and gave it to the coach.
I thought he'd beat me up less then.
I see.
So, did it work?
He beat me up more...
for giving him squids all the time.
How did you become a baseball player?
Was it...
in 1983?
The Haitai Tigers won the Korean baseball league.
Kim Bong-yeon became an MVP...
...and received a car.
That's why.
Congrats on winning the lawsuit.
Oh, well...
What happened to Moon Hae-jun?
He was arrested for rape.
Don't worry.
You won't get roped into it.
We only brought him to an inn.
What?
His father isn't an easy deal.
He'll do whatever it takes to silence the media...
and get his son in the election somehow.
So, we need a closing pitcher.
A closing pitcher?
Huh?
That's not bad.
How about Park Choong-ho?
He'd want Moon Hae-jun gone more than anyone.
He has the power to move the public sentiment too.
Do you perhaps...
...have a way to get to him?
Well,
I can make my own way.
Then now,
should we discuss business?
Well, I'll start working tomorrow.
But under one condition.
After this,
it will be over between us.
I'll leave this neighborhood once I get paid.
So, promise me...
...that you'll never come to me and my family.
That's all...
...I want.

EPISODE 5
Dong-soo?
Are you insane?
That's a crime. It's illegal.
Tailing and spy cameras.
Those were all illegal too.
But this is on a whole another level.
As soon as it's settled, we'll back out.
It'll only take two to three months.
He tried to kill us...
...only a few days ago.
And you'll work with him?
He offered 300 million won.
That's enough to pay off our debt at once.
We can support our mom more with ease.
Even so...
I'm so lost.
Even if he offers three billion won,
this isn't right.
Help me out.
This is the money Seo Do-young gave me.
I took half, and it's 20 million won.
We need a money exchange website.
I want you to make one.
Then you'll have your share of the money too.
When we get paid,
let's leave this neighborhood altogether.
Dong-soo.
I'm sick and tired of this city.
I'm disgusted to see those...
...who abuse their power in this tiny neighborhood.
I'm tired of visiting prison...
...just to get myself a gig.
I want to go somewhere full of strangers...
...and make a fresh start again.
Do this for me, Beom-jae.
Please.
YUSEONG MIRAE CONSULTING, PRESIDENT SEO DO-YOUNG
Thank you for offering support in the election.
But I gave up on running for it.
If I go against my party's decision...
...and leave,
people will only call me a betrayer.
Don't give up.
All candidates will be registered in two days.
My party has already decided on its player.
We will...
...change players.
The tables will be turned as of today.
Trust me on this.
Gosh.
Attorney Moon.
How did it go?
Well, I'm working to make a settlement.
Why?
I told you! I didn't do it!
I know, but I needed to bail you out first.
Goodness.
What about the security camera footage?
I got it, but it's said to be fake.
Just for show, you know...
Darn it.
Anyway,
do you really not remember anything? Not even a thing?
No! I don't remember anything!
Darn it!
SHINNAM POLICE STATION
Goodness.
Then you'll have your share of the money too.
When we get paid,
let's leave this neighborhood altogether.
Beom-jae.
Gosh.
You didn't have breakfast, did you?
- Eat it. - Gosh.
Are you sure about the promise?
- Just three months, okay? - Two months.
Let's finish it in two months.
There's no need to drag it out.
- Are you sure? - Of course!
I'm not crazy enough...
...to stick to this ridiculous business.
Is that a yes?
Gosh.
Let's use this as our office for the time being.
Here.
What is this?
A programmer who will make the website with you.
He's skilled.
It'll be good for you to learn from him.
NAME : PARK SI-DEOK
The Game of Cards?
Why do we need someone who works at a place like this?
I have some debt.
I took out a private loan.
The interest rate was 47 percent.
It was too tough on me...
...that I even looked into filing for bankruptcy.
But then he helped me with the return suit.
Thanks to that, I felt like I could breathe again.
I got back what I paid that exceeded...
...the legal interest limit for dishonest profit.
He has work to do,
so he will come only on weekends.
We'll mostly communicate via e-mail.
I see.
Once we're done structuring it,
it won't be that difficult.
I see.
Attorney Han.
Are you sure this is all right, though?
Of course.
It will only be a slight involvement.
Just for a moment, and we'll back out.
Oh, right.
Right.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
We need it for marketing.
I'll see you on the weekend, then.
See you.
What are you waiting for? Come.
Check where Hae-jun is right away.
ARRESTED FOR RAPE
Darn it.
Attorney Moon.
- Gosh. - Attorney Moon.
Please leave me alone!
That's not it.
Your father is on the way here.
Darn it!
Darn you...
It wasn't me.
Well,
the party made a call.
They decided to re-evaluate your qualifications.
What?
Mr. Lee, will you give us some room?
Well...
Sure.
It's a misunderstanding, Father.
I'd never do such a thing...
...at a crucial time like this.
This was a trap.
I'm sure someone was behind it.
Who?
Pardon?
Who set up that trap?
I thought you finally turned over a new leaf,
but you're still not in your right mind!
Stay low for the time being.
I'll try to take care of it somehow.
Hello, Mr. Kim.
I need to see you for a bit.
Sir, what's going on?
I heard about the re-evaluation. Is it true?
Don't make a fuss and sit down.
Okay.
SHINNAM FERRY
Did you look into it?
The truck...
didn't have a license plate, so I couldn't find it.
The compact car was scrapped in Busan.
But I couldn't find its owner.
It seems the car was stolen a few years ago,
and the person changed its license plate.
It was scrapped by a third person too.
What about Park Choong-ho?
That guy is...
...just all talk. He has nobody to do such a thing.
Find out who was behind it, no matter what.
Check every repair shop in the country if you must.
Yes, sir.
And prepare some more money.
We need to stop the re-evaluation somehow.
You're right about that,
but how...
Once Hae-jun's out the window,
my minister position will be in danger as well.
Then the marine casino will fall through too.
Don't you get it?
Call me when it's ready.
Hurry and check the repair shops.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Who was that just now?
Wasn't it one of Mr. Kim's men?
Oh?
He came to ask something.
Ask what?
He was looking for a car.
A silver car.
A model that was discontinued ten years ago.
How is it...
...to be the number two instead of me?
Knock it off.
The boys are watching.
Answer me, you darn son of a gun!
Ow.
Is this the car?
A silver car...
YUSEONG MIRAE CONSULTING
What is it?
There was an accident at one of the stores.
Some men were making a scene, so I sent him.
Were they customers?
No, they're Family Gang members.
They must've thought Kim Jae-yeol had their back.
With a gambling house under control,
I bet they're after taking over clubs too.
Did he open a gambling house?
It started last week.
Family Gang is playing a key role,
but they seem to have brought a lot of guys from Busan.
We're short on money without the gambling business.
And it's quite costly to invest in the new business.
What about Han Dong-soo?
He's already set up the resources.
The briefing is tomorrow.
Let's wrap it up.
What in the world...
Darn...
You little...
You scumbags.
Are you kidding me?
Hey...
Hey, I heard what happened at the club.
My boys made an oblivious mistake.
I'm sorry about that, okay?
I'll make sure to keep them under control.
Okay?
This is the compensation for damages.
- Fine. - We've written down...
the repair cost and the loss in detail.
Wire the amount.
Fine, I'll pay you.
How much...
One, two, three...
Is that 370 million won?
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding.
Do-young.
Is it because of bad blood between you and Mr. Kim?
Because he abandoned you?
Tell him to bring the money.
Move it away, you jerk!
I don't have any money, you idiot.
It'll be one every five seconds.
Count.
Five, four,
- three, two, - Don't do it, jerk.
- one. - Hey!
Darn it! You scumbag!
Count.
- Five, - Let go.
- four, three, - Let go of me, jerk!
two, one.
Darn it!
Include another 100 million won.
You wanted to kill me.
- Count. - Darn it!
- Five, four, - You scum.
- Okay! Fine! - three...
Send the money.
Send 470 million won.
Send the money, you jerk!
CCTV IN OPERATION
MANAGE YOUR GUYS, WILL YOU?

The number you dialed is currently unavailable.

YUSEONG MIRAE CONSULTING
ONLINE GAMBLING BUSINESS PLAN
Number of members, 32 million.
Average number of visitors per day,
three million.
This is the record...
...of Korea's biggest game site, Game of Cards.
Considering the number of users,
it's as big as a casino in Las Vegas.
But considering the stake only,
Game of Cards is bigger.
You can bet from a million to hundreds of millions of won...
...per game.
Within a few games,
trillions are used.
But it's all fake money.
It's useless.
That's right. It's fake.
That's why everyone jumps in without any fear.
That's why they can use...
...hundreds of millions of won at once.
We're going to make use of that.
The feeling of relief...
...that it's in the virtual world.
Rationalization of thinking it's not real gambling.
And we'll use that...
...to turn the fake gambling world...
...into a real one...
...where real money is dealt.
We're going to make...
...the world's biggest gambling house on the Internet.
From now on, the Yuseong Gang...
...will be divided into four departments.
The headquarters that will operate...
...the exchange site and servers.
LED MONITOR
The sub-headquarters...
...that manage fake bankbooks and the deposit and withdrawal of cash.
YUSEONG MIRAE CONSULTING
The distributor that promotes the site...
...and recruit members.
And the store.
The store will be...
...the biggest Internet cafe for Game of Cards only.
MAKE IT BIG IN SHINANAM!
Of course, it's not a regular Internet cafe.
Thanks.
It'll be an exchange counter...
...that help purchase and exchange game money.
We're going to purchase the Game of Cards money...
...at a rate that's ten percent cheaper...
...and sell it for a more expensive price.
The margin from that will be our sales.
Oh, my. It's the same card.
Darn it. It's the same card.
GAME OF CARDS
Hello?
Yes. Gold Seven deposited the money.
Start the work.
Godori alert.
The way of dealing is simple.
Once we check the deposit,
the user and the money exchanger...
...will meet at the online exchange booth.
And depending on the amount dealt,
the exchanger will lose...
...to the user unilaterally.
This is called "transfusion."
The way the money is purchased will be the same.
Hold on.
To resell the game money,
we need to secure a certain amount.
Where do we get all that?
That's right. The amount one can purchase...
...is limited to 300,000 won per month.
We won't have enough.
We have hundreds of thousands...
...of personal information.
If we make use of these, we can make...
...up to millions of accounts.
Problem solved, right?
Is something the matter?
I called you yesterday.
Let's advance the opening date.
Let's make it happen in 20 days.
I'm afraid it'll be difficult.
There's a lot to do.
We don't have enough manpower yet.
I'm not asking you.
The target sales will be one billion won.
The most you can make...
...from the gambling house is a few hundred million.
How can we increase the sales by fivefold...
...all of a sudden?
I wouldn't have started it...
...if I were to make the same amount.
Get it started.
Wait.
Aren't we in this together?
We are partners.
What is it again? What did he say?
He wants to advance the opening date...
...to the beginning of next month.
Why?
No idea.
Gosh, this is crazy.
By the way,
are you really confident?
It's your first time doing things like this.
You're home.
Why are you still up?
I'm keeping the ledger.
I hope things will be as good as these days.
The stuff at the supermarket went well,
and you're getting more work.
- Hye-young. - Yes?
Let's move to another country.
What did you say?
You know Young-kyo, right?
The one living in Australia.
I called him the other day,
and his farm is doing well.
It'll be hard at first.
But if we get used to it...
Wait.
Why would we suddenly move to another country?
Everything went well.
Things are getting better, so why?
If we continue living here,
our lives will be the same forever.
I don't like it.
I really don't like...
...this town.
Once I'm done with the work I'm doing,
I'll be able to make enough for us to settle there.
Before it's too late,
let's begin a new life there.
The party leader can't make it.
The general election is around the corner. He won't be able to make time.
I don't think this is the right place for you to be, Assemblyman Park.
Why not?
I'm a candidate too,
thanks to Hae-jun.
What will you do, though?
At this rate,
you might lose your place too.
Minister of Justice.
I helped you serve two terms,
but you're still hopeless.
You still can't get the hang of it.
You should know your opponent.
It looks like you want to be cocky with me.
Do you want to be kicked out of politics?
Tomorrow,
the outcome of the re-evaluation will be announced.
And I'll be the official candidate.
Even without you,
I can finally make it.
I did it.
Why don't you...
...use this chance to look back on your life?
Whether you've done anything to hurt others.
Using people when they're needed...
...but discarding them once they become useless.
Isn't that what you usually do?
Do people play Game of Cards a lot these days?
Of course.
Seven out of ten computers here...
...are playing Game of Cards.
People play Go-Stop a lot during holidays.
It's easy, and they're used to it,
so many people play it regardless of age.
Hey, Beom-jae.
What?
His phone has been off since yesterday.
I had a bad feeling, so I called Game of Cards,
and Park Si-deok was fired a month ago.
He ran after getting the advance payment.
We were duped.
Shouldn't we look for someone else?
I'll ask Seo Do-young...
...to push the date a week.
You should look for Park Si-deok.
How would I know where he is?
Hold 'em pub.
What?
He must be playing poker.
That's why he took out private loans.
What happened?
He's the minion of the Yuseong Gang,
and he saw that car...
a few days before Hae-jun's accident.
I think Seo Do-young is behind it.
Seo Do-young?
He used to work for Kim Yoo-sung,
and now, he's the boss.
Last year, Moon Law Firm...
...defended him,
and he must've gotten a long-term then.
Are you saying it's a revenge?
There can't be another reason.
He should've taken revenge on the attorney...
...who was in charge.
Why mess with Hae-jun?
He's quite unpredictable, so...
Where is this guy?
- Sorry? - The guy who saw the car.
You're going to...
...see him in person?
You know me, right?
He's Mr. Moon of Moon Law Firm.
It's an honor, Mr. Moon.
Is it true that you saw that car?
Of course, sir.
I wouldn't dare to lie to you.
I'm certain that Seo Do-young was behind it.
I clearly heard him saying that he would...
destroy Moon Law Firm once he was out.
Any proof?
You don't even need more.
He's more than capable of...
Do you find me easy?
No, sir.
So how dare you try to mess with me?
Do you think...
I'll give you the money with a few lies?
It's not that...
You jerk!
I worked...
...as a Public Security prosecutor for 20 years.
I've seen so many good-for-nothing jerks like you.
You jerk.
I'm telling you the truth. Trust me, Mr. Moon.
I'm sure it was Seo Do-young.
He refused all attorneys...
...because he didn't like Moon Law Firm...
...and got himself a new attorney to run errands.
An attorney who runs errands?
Yes.
And who is that?
Han Dong... Darn it. What was it again?
Han Dong-soo... Han Dong-joo.
- Han Jong-soo... - Han Dong-soo?
Yes, sir. It's Han Dong-soo.
It's him.
There's a supervisory team within Game of Cards...
that monitor illegal gambling.
And we hired two from the team.
They'll constantly tell us the intel...
...on the standard of inspection.
Are they trustable?
They're in urgent need of money.
Once we give them money, they'll keep it quiet.
Then give them the money.
Actually...
About the opening date.
Could you give me more time?
For it to work properly...
Didn't I tell you?
To advance the date, no matter what.
What is...
...the reason?
I need to know.
I bet my everything on this.
If this goes wrong,
my life will be over too.
There's a man who gets on my nerves.
But I can't get rid of him.
You know Kim Jae-yeol, right?
The president of Shinnam Ferry.
He's the real owner of the gambling house.
A lowly loan shark...
became a successful businessman.
Goodness.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
I'm here, sir.
- Hey, Hae-jun. - Congratulations.
Every part of this town is run with his money.
And I lost his trust recently.
The report on the gambling house played a big part.
Then...
...what happens...
if this business fails?
ASSEMBLYMAN PARK BECOMES THE FINAL CANDIDATE
FOR THE 18TH GENERAL ELECTION
We'll both be dead.
I kept my word.
It's your turn.
What is this?
What are you doing?
That's cheating.
- Let me play it just once more. - No.
It's so obvious.
What?
You shouldn't scam people like that.
It's all ruined.
How about this one?
It's 38,000 won and...
Hey.
Did you find Park Si-deok?
I've searched all day, but he's not here.
I'm on my way now. Keep looking.
All right.
I got two.

Excuse me, Attorney Han.
I didn't run.
I was going to call you,
but I really didn't have time, you see.
Do you think this is a joke?
We're staking our lives...
...on this bet.
The moment we decided to go through with this,
our families became part of it too.
Your little sister...
...who goes to a commercial high school.
Your mom who runs a street stall.
I'm so sorry, Attorney Han.
I am sorry.
Si-deok.
Yes?
If something like this happens one more time,
I won't be able to protect you.
The Yuseong Gang will come after you.
You understand what I mean, right?
Yes.
Get in.
Coming.
Join Internet cafes with...
...over a hundred thousand members...
...and send group messages.

KNOW-HOW OF MAKING MONEY?
How much did this guy spend on this?
RATE, 60 TRILLION WON EQUALS 118,000 WON
YUSEONG MIRAE CONSULTING
The more phone numbers, the better.
It creates...
...the illusion of multiple businesses.
How about the money withdrawal?
We are working on it.
Hello. I'm here for that money withdrawal job...
Once the money is deposited in the account,
withdraw it immediately.
Deduct a ten percent fee...
and deposit the rest. Okay?
Let's have a drink.
You did well.
How do you think it'll go tomorrow?
Who knows?
But in any case, I did my best.
Doing your best isn't important.
Being the best is.
You should get in too, Attorney Han.
I will go with my brother.
There will be a lot of nervous people tomorrow.
I've told you about Kim Jae-yeol before, right?
Kim Jae-yeol was the manager,
and I was the player.
Don't you want to know who the team owner was?
Moon Sang-guk.
If Park Choong-ho wins...
Darn it.
I'll start a baseball team too.
Are you in?
I'll take care of Kim Jae-yeol,
and you'll handle Moon Sang-gook.
You promised me this.
Once this is over...
Think about it.
It finally feels like my home.
CURRENT NUMBER OF USERS ONLINE AND OPERATIONS
INFLUX RATE, PURCHASE RATE, NUMBER OF LOGIN GRAPH
We've got someone.
What's going on?
This is the user influx.
About 20 users have entered,
but we'll have to see how much they'll exchange.
It's frustrating not being able to see the customers.
We aim to recruit a hundred members today.
If we secure more than 300 members in a month,
we'll consider it a success.
What?
What's happening? What's the problem?
Hold on a second.
SHUTDOWN
Beom-jae, just a moment.
DOUBLE MONEY
A TEMPORARY SERVICE INTERRUPTION
This is strange.
I can't seem to log in.
What's going on?
It seems like a server issue.
What is it?
What's the problem?
Well...
So,
it's not really a problem.
We just need some time.
The server.
It looks like...
...the server crashed.
The site experienced a sudden surge in traffic.
It's like everyone's trying to access the site at once.
Hey.
Okay.
Boss.
We're getting flooded with calls...
about currency exchange inquiries.
Yes!
Is the site a massive hit now?
It's amazing.
It's worth staying up all night, isn't it?
Now, let's hurry and restore the server.
Okay.
Hello.
- Hello there. - Yes.
- You've been well? - I have.
Did anything good happen?
- Pardon? - Your face.
All right.
Gosh, my phone.
Gosh.
Goodness. Let me help you.
I'll carry this for you.
- Thank you so much. - I'll carry it.
What floor do you live on?
I live on the eighth floor.
Unit 803.
You have a son, don't you?
I do.
He seems close to the people who live below me.
You live above Min-hee's unit?
Yes.
There's someone who bothers me.
In short, he's a lunatic.
Ma'am.
Do you live with your grandchildren?
Goodness, who does that these days?
I've been living alone since my husband passed away.
I see.
Come on.
Please.
- I'll steal it. - There.
Let's go.
Let's do this.
Okay.
Let's go.
We will open.
What?
It's eight ggeut.
- It's five ggeut. - Yes!
It's two ggeut.
Last one.
Come on.
It's five ggeut.
Darn it!
Darn it.
Where are you going?
Can't I go pee?
What's going on here these days?
This place is a rathole.
There's not even a toilet inside.
It wasn't like this before.
Enough of that. There's a portable toilet there.
Go hurry and take care of your business.
Gosh, this is so annoying.
Gosh.
Lady,
keep the lantern on.
I didn't turn it off.
It's the battery.
Tap it like this.
Darn it.
Gosh. Here.
- Here. - Come on, lady.
Who is it?
Let's go in!
Boss, I'll take care of Kim Jae-yeol's house cleanup.
Are we there yet?
We are almost there.
Seo Do-young, you scumbag!
As we pass midnight, the outline of the winners...
...in each region is becoming clear.
In the conservative stronghold of Shinnam-si,
Park Choong-ho has safely secured his third term.
To all the citizens of Shinnam-si,
thank you.
THE 18TH GENERAL ELECTION: PARK CHOONG-HO, SHINNAM-SI
A THREE-TIME VICTORY AS A UNIFIED PARTY CANDIDATE
Your desire for capable and honest politics,
as well as your support, has led to my nomination...
You sent it to Attorney Han, right?
Yes, it will be there soon.
I will listen to the voices of the people...
with more humility...
...and a lower posture.
Thank you!
Here's the news from the next constituency.
In Juwon-si, the Unified Party's candidate,
Kim Min-ho, who is running for re-election,
is leading over 73.8 percent of the votes,
with more than a 50,000-vote margin ahead of...
I received the gift.
But I think there's been a mistake.
It's a bonus.
EVILIVE
I wonder how much they earned.
We both received double the amount promised.
We're friends.
I want to help.
We worked hard for nothing.
What was this report about?
Give me a little more time.
You told Seo Do-young you're quitting, right?
I never let go of what I pick.
Whatever that may be.
Did Seo Do-young make you do this?
Was it me or not?
You want to kill me and my family now?
