[Insider]
[All people, places, organizations, and incidents appearing in this series are entirely fictional.]
While Min Ho and you were abducted, they moved you to a different location once?
I was only involved in wiring funds into the Labuan bank...
Is anybody inside?
Hello?
Is anybody inside?
I brought what you asked for.
Think of your son in case you want to scream.
- He was... - Police!
a policeman.
He said he was responding to a call and wanted to come inside the storage shack.
But the guy who kidnapped us kept us still.
010-0913-3374.
If you are trapped inside, call this number.
0913...
3374...
[To Inspector Park Ro Sa: Please identify this number, 010-0913-3374]
So, after that policeman left, you were moved to a different location.
Yes.
We were moved that same day.
Min Ho...
Are you okay?
Min Ho, go and find a policeman first.
Min Ho, run!
Run away!
Min Ho had escaped that night.
And I...
escaped much later.
When I came out, I tried to call that number.
But the phone number didn't exist.
[Inspector Park Ro Sa] CEO, it's Inspector Kwon Dae Il's number.
Inspector Kwon Dae Il.
Dad, I met that policeman.
Inspector Kwon Dae Il.
When you get this message, call this number.
010-0245-0303.
That policeman who came to the storage shack.
-This is the police. - Inspector Kwon Dae Il.
But he had passed away.
[Review of Investigations on Death of Shin Dal Soo Case] And Inspector Kwon, who was in charge of your grandmother's case.
I'm Inspector Kwon from Seoul Yongmoon Police Station, Criminal Affairs Division.
That inspector committed suicide.
That's why I became even more cautious.
Because I knew that the Prosecutors' Office of Korea was behind the Goldman Casino.
I understand.
I mean...
if it was going to turn out like this, why did you go after Woo Sang Ki in the first place?
Yang Hwa and Yang Joon. I wanted to get past those two thugs
and see you both in person.
So I played a little trick.
A trick?
To make us come to you,
you abducted a skilled technician imperative for
laundering money for the Goldman slush fund?
Are you senile?
Ah, well...
For both of you, you still have a long way to go until you hit old age
in this era of living to be 100.
But I don't have that many years left in me.
So even if I go when it's my time,
I want to go with a peace of mind.
So I made a bucket list of my own.
Bucket list?
And the first wish on the list is to enjoy working for the two of you.
How about working with me from now on and forget those thugs?
I don't mean to disrupt the rule but just change the order a bit.
I think everyone can benefit from it.
How are you different from those guys?
On top of that, you were pushed out by those guys
and that's why you are in here.
We're not in the same standing in class.
I'm not a thug.
I buy out companies at a real cheap price
and fix it up nicely to sell for a profit. I'm a trader.
The company of the two brothers...
I'll take away The Skin Nation this time around
and offer it to you both as my grand opening treat.
If you can accept that for starters,
and if you can help me reclaim my position from those thugs,
I will forever take care of you both and do what's good for you going forward.
Yes...
You go on ahead first.
I need to take care of a few things first.
Okay.
Do you think Inspector Kwon had gone as far as finding out
that Jang Sun Oh killed your grandmother?
Because he found out,
do you think Jang Sun Oh had killed Inspector Kwon?
They say you can die from having too much on your mind.
What do we have to do here today?
Pick up some seriously addicted gamblers
and get their signatures here.
[Stock Transfer Agreement]
How come they're under my name instead of the Chairman's?
Borrowing a name?
Chairman is planning to steal The Skin Nation.
Kim Yo Han, you just need to go and play the game.
Win if you are told to win, and lose if you are told to lose.
So, under your name?
No need to give out my name.
Just introduce yourself as Mr. Koo.
Were you going to frequent the house with your name?
Attorney Koo.
Who do you work for?
You belong to Sinseon-dong elders, right?
I wonder why you don't do anything, knowing Chairman Do wants you dead?
What are you holding in your hand?
If you are working for someone more powerful than Chairman Do,
Sinseon-dong would be the closest answer.
If you're not working under Chairman Do
but Sinseon-dong is using you to monitor Chairman Do...
Is that why you wanted to partner up with me?
Going as far as telling me that Chairman Do is trying to kill me.
Yes.
I don't want to die by Chairman Do's hands.
I also think you feel the same way.
[The Skin Nation, Director of Finance] All-in...
[Heart]
[Liver]
[Kidney]
[Note to Relinquish Body Parts]
- Call. - All-in.
I got another good hand at the end.
Oh, what to do...
I got a straight flush.
Nice work.
Well...
As for the surgery date, go back there.
You can discuss it with him.
Sir, please let me live!
I really can't die right now.
I have two young daughters...
Do you want to sign a new document?
[Stock Transfer Agreement]
[The Skin Nation] I hear that the company you work for is about to go public.
[(A) Kim Yo Han and proxy, (B) Song Young Jae]
Mr. Koo.
Who is Kim Yo Han?
You don't need to know that.
- Let's start the surgery. - No, no!
No, no! I'll cover everything,
so you can buy as many as you want.
You can even buy the whole company.
Where do I sign?
- Next page. - Go ahead, take it all!
[CEO of Taeju Motors]
[Stock Transfer Agreement]
[Stock Transfer Agreement: Cha Seok Hong, The Skin Nation]
[Cha Seok Hong will transfer the stocks to Kim Yo Han on 11/18/19]
Wow, so, so cruel...
Cruel.
Mr. Jo,
I heard you kill people with this.
Chairman,
I really don't know where that Kim Yo Han is. That bastard.
[Yang Hwa] Then why did you run away?
I came into this organization
when I was 15 years old.
Even if I run away, where would I go?
If you let me go,
not only Kim Yo Han but that Woo-something. I'll bring them both to you.
You know, I'm pretty well-known in the underground collection world.
Are you going to use him?
Why is Chief Prosecutor Yoon so anxious to kill Kim Yo Han?
We are busy enough looking for Woo Sang Ki.
Are you going to use him?
If not, let's get rid of him.
Please spare me! Just spare me!
That Kim Yo Han. I know everything about him.
I'm the only one who can catch him.
- Hyung! - What?
Are you going to use him?
D***...
Our stock is going public in a couple of days. What are you doing?
I'll take care of it.
Don't do anything stupid.
Are you...
acting like this because of that woman?
Why is Soo Yeon doing this...
It turns out she had already partnered up with Kim Yo Han.
Geez...
Don't waste your time on a woman who's already left you.
You are just causing double the pain.
This is no fun.
Where are you going?
Chairman Yang...
Hey, Joon!
Geez, that guy...
Manager,
please spare me.
Let's see...
Gosh, Manager!
Please spare me!
Please!
Please spare me!
Made in Korea.
[Burj Nadiyya]
Chairman Suh of Dongdaemun Taepyeong Plaza.
He was released 10 years ago after serving time for embezzlement.
He got caught stealing 350 billion won from 3,000 investors.
Aigoo, he sure is greedy all right.
Playing cards? Is he into things like that?
It's been rumored that out of the 350 billion won he embezzled,
he lost 80 billion won playing Hold'em.
So he's a player, too.
Consider he took all the
negative aspects of Do in prison or Yang who took over Namdaemun.
You can look at it that way.
He's no second fiddle to Do or Yang.
- He's that much of a bad guy? - Right.
When Yang took down Do in Gangnam and took over entire Seoul,
the only one who withstood through it all is
Suh.
Chairman Suh.
Sounds good.
Good, bad, and ugly. He's got it all.
[Chairman Yang Joon]
Excuse me.
Hello, Chairman Yang.
Aren't you busy with the listing ceremony?
Hey, Soo Yeon.
Are you...
available during our listing ceremony?
Of course.
I already prepared my dress for that day.
I'm sure you'll be pretty.
After the ceremony,
we plan to have a bash with some of the VIPs.
Sounds fun.
Am I invited, too?
Of course.
There's always a place for you, my Soo Yeon.
I'll also save another place.
So if you have a good friend,
come together.
But don't you need 10-20 million won minimum to play there?
Well...
Who can I bring who won't get rattled, and
enjoy a place like that?
Abduct Woo Sang Ki...
get to The Skin Nation's finance director this time
and buy up convertible bonds.
Yo Han takes the shares from the equity holders by playing Hold'em.
Gather all that in the Dosan Holdings
and take The Skin Nation entirely, huh?
What's after that? The casino?
Let's say...
this is the Goldman Casino in Incheon.
I said you have to take over this place to be number one in Korea's gambling scene.
But actually, this is just a cover.
Cover?
The game that makes real money is
not the casino,
but what happens in the casino hotel's upstairs suites.
It happens in the VIP suites where only the ones with
invitations are allowed in.
The real power behind the Goldman Casino
is not the casino
but the slush fund, the money that was laundered from the casino.
Goldman slush fund.
The one who manages the slush fund becomes the casino's manager.
Anyway, if you can control the slush fund
you can acquire the casino also.
So, what's the scenario?
In a given year, there aren't many games held in the VIP suite.
Unless a super VIP wants it or
the game happens on a special occasion.
But you know Yang Joon's The Skin Nation?
I hear they might go public real soon.
It's highly likely that a game will take place in the VIP suite on the day of the listing ceremony.
I can't play because I've been marked by Yang Joon.
But you go in and win tons of Yang Joon's money.
If you'll tie up Yang Joon there that night,
I'll get to Director Jin, the one in charge of the slush funds, in the meantime.
I'll get Director Jin.
I'll twist her and get the slush fund in my hands.
You said you need an invitation to get into the room.
How will we get that invitation?
That's the crucial issue here.
Work on someone who's got the invitation
and pretend to be his proxy and get in.
I'll come up with something after my release tomorrow.
Everything is...
coming together at Goldman Casino.
All our plans are entangled.
If one thing goes wrong, then the rest will falter.
Don't worry too much.
If things go according to my plan...
Yes.
Good job.
See over there?
Make that more visible and center it around new products.
Yes, sir.
Good job.
- That drum. Am I hitting it? - Yes.
Does it make a sound?
Yes, the audio is fine.
Have you tried it?
I'll check it again.
I heard Kim Yo Han was the dean at Seongju Prison.
Oh, man. It was a s***ty period.
He used to be such a baby back then.
What did he eat to get so big?
Jang Sun Oh taught him?
I know, huh?
He took him as his successor.
He picked him
and made him play cards day and night.
And no one knows what happened to him after he was released?
I did hear that he did visit the school* a few times after his release. (Slang for prison)
Sweep that up, too.
Okay.
Sweep over there, too.
Don't you have to go to the visitation room?
I heard your boss is in Sinseon-dong.
Kim Yo Han is back here?
What?
You didn't know?
When you were in here together, you used to be inseparable.
He totally ignores you as soon as he's released?
Oh, my. Kim Yo Han...
He's not the person I thought he was.
He's as cold as dry ice.
Oh, this, too. Take it.
Whoa!
I think I can find out if I asked a few people.
Do it right.
Yes, sir.
- Hello. Hello, hello. - Welcome.
Let's get started.
The winner of this hand
looks like it's me.
3 K's...
4 K's.
S***.
[Stock Transfer Agreement]
Nice to meet you.
You look familiar.
Even if you are tired, don't go straight home.
Like this...
You should always go around twice before going in.
Bye now.
This is how to tell if you are being followed.
Even if you allowed enough time and distance,
a person or a car keeps popping up. You have to figure that out.
Every time you change direction,
typically a new tail would take over.
The best way to beat them
is frequently changing directions
and make the tail get up close to you.
Then,
go into a place with many entry points, like a department store or subway station,
and make the tail follow you in.
Hey!
So, you knew all this in advance earlier?
Have you ever seen me talking gibberish?
Was that Chief Prosecutor Mok Jin Hyung?
He's used at least six people to catch you.
That means...
he's trying to kill you.
Is he the one you were talking about earlier?
Yeah.
He circled around widely and spotted all of us.
I'm certain I've been exposed.
Most of these guys here also.
You could've been photographed also.
Geez! I can never get it right!
Geez!
Lost again!
Nothing works out.
Geez!
Look at this!
Look!
I'll win the lottery next!
You must be hurting bad...
What is it?
Just follow me.
Don't be scared.
Why is your name Nam Dae Moon?
So that I'm not too stiff,
easily open and close.
So that I could live like that.
That's why it's Nam Dae Moon.
How long have you been out?
It's been 20 days.
Life is like a melodrama. I'll speak to you casually.
Do you know where Kim Yo Han is?
After his release, he was eager to make some money.
So he was looking for some games where he can make some money.
That's what I heard...
Really?
How come I haven't heard that?
Maybe because...
he's using an alias, Mr. Koo, to enter the games.
He wants to find whoever killed his grandmother
and he needed money for that. That's what I heard.
Who killed his grandmother?
I'm not sure. That's...
I'm not sure...
Thank you for this.
When a tumor grows in the pituitary gland, it is called prolactin.
It causes an abnormality in hormone secretion.
This drug can mimic similar symptoms.
You have to make it look like you have a real brain tumor.
So your meal menu will be changed accordingly.
To receive a suspended sentence,
you'll need to become sickly that you can't hold a spoon.
When is the PET scan scheduled for?
It's set in two days in the morning.
Independent investors in online communities say
[The Skin Nation, Independent Investors' Opinion, Buy] when The Skin Nation goes public,
[The Skin Nation, Independent Investors' Opinion] the price is expected to double
creating the "Double-price" phenomenon.
They recommend the purchase of the stocks.
In the midst of these opinions, on the day the company goes public,
[The Skin Nation, Promotion events on the first day in the market] The Skin Nation is planning a large-scale promotional event
[The Skin Nation, Promotion events on the first day in the market] at duty-free shops, garnering high anticipation.
It'd be best to eat them whole on the day it goes public.
How about the head of the Brain Tumor Center?
Did you bribe him?
Yes, his daughter is studying art in college.
We offered to set up an exhibition for her.
After that,
the only thing remaining is for the DA to sign off on the suspension of execution.
So all that remains is
Seocho-dong's decision.
If The Skin Nation stock price doubles as a result of going public,
including all the stock market news in the latter part of the year
[The Skin Nation, the biggest news in the latter part of the year] this will be the biggest news topic in the corporate world.
What do you think about that?
The biggest factor that influences the cosmetics market is...
What are you going to do?
How about you?
In the instance of The Skin Nation...
I am a little worried...
that I might get indigestion.
But you know, it takes a lot of money to keep our guys in line.
I mean, it looks like
no matter who sits in that seat, we won't have to quit our positions.
So if that's the case,
wouldn't it be better to go with that old man?
You don't really care for Manager Yang.
That's true, but
I've seen too many sunbaes who got burned from gluttony.
I really hate...
to see my family suffer, Sunbae.
Yeah...
Let's contemplate a little more.
Mr. Koo?
You are out?
Thanks to you.
I came out after serving time that was never meant for me.
Well, then go and play.
Give me.
This is a small game for you, isn't it?
Let's see...
Oh, my! Your winning streak is going straight up at the end.
I heard you are desperate for money these days.
- What's this? - An invitation.
They are setting up the biggest game in this country there.
How about it? Do you want to play big?
We got it.
Kim Yo Han received an invitation.
- You asked for me? - Yes.
I'm glad you came.
Here, have some.
The Skin Nation listing ceremony.
I heard you received the invitation to their after-party.
Yes.
So when you go there that day...
the way you teamed up with Jang Sun Oh when you were here,
go and win the Goldman slush fund and bring it to me.
What?
Did you think you were the only one working for me?
Boy, look at the expression on your face.
Jang Sun Oh is also my possession, who works for me like you.
Don't think that I had deceived you.
You just quietly...
do what you have to do.
I will do as you said.
Will you be okay seeing Jang Sun Oh?
Incheon Seobok-gu Wangin Beach Park Shelter 17:00.
Jang Seon Oh.
Just as I expected...
Jang Sun Oh was working for Do Won Bong.
Then...
my guess that Jang Sun Oh killed my grandmother is true.
Sun Oh!
Hyung.
Wow. Your face looks much better.
Not as good as you.
So, how did you do it?
To find someone to get that invitation,
I've been doing everything I could since I got out.
But it didn't work out.
Maybe it's because too many people know what you look like.
True...
Not many people out here know you were the dean at Seongju prison, right?
So, you got an invitation now.
Did you find out how money laundering is done at the casino?
Okay.
In the last five years,
the 50,000 won bills that the banks couldn't recover is worth 12 trillion won.
Move it.
What do they do if they want to spend that money?
They have to launder it all.
Enjoy!
The Goldman Casino in Incheon
is operated jointly by Macau Goldman Casino Group and Yang Joon, Yang Hwa.
It's a foreigners-only casino.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
They'd say the cash slush funds that the Deep Pockets handed over
came from the foreign tourists who come to gamble here.
It all becomes casino's revenue
and if it's withdrawn from the Macau head office,
the international wiring of the funds is completed.
Out of today's revenue at Incheon Goldman, designate 850 million won as Macau Goldman's revenue.
Should I withdraw it as cash like before and deliver it to Woo Sang Ki?
Set it aside for a while in a separate account.
Finally, the money is exchanged for bitcoins in Hong Kong
and wire it to a tax haven where it sits in a business account under a borrowed name.
Exactly.
As expected of a model student, you studied everything already.
People don't really change, right?
Right.
People don't change.
The Skin Nation, a cosmetics company that has attracted a lot of interest among investors,
is about to be listed at 9 a.m. today.
There was some controversy over the high valuation...
Now, let's check today's final closing price
on the first day of the historic listing of The Skin Nation.
They anticipate a very successful opening day doubling the price.
Five, four, three, two, one!
[The Skin Nation]
Congratulations!
The offering price was 39,000 won.
The final stock value is 101,400 won, an increase of 160%.
It's more than double, everyone!
Let's go!
Yang Joon! Yang Joon!
- Yang Joon! Yang Joon! - CEO, I'm Seok Hong.
It's been a long time since I last saw you.
Congratulations, CEO Cha.
It looks like you will make some money this time.
As for me, I'm sure I'll just get some crumbs.
Will you be coming to our after-party planned for this evening?
Who goes to school to study?
You go there to eat your lunch.
Security check, please.
A VIP is entering.
Hey...
Why is Kim Yo Han here?
Geez, I told you not to stir trouble.
Don't you stir trouble, Hyung.
Don't go up against the prosecutors.
They can kill several with just a phone call.
[Annie Stevens] Would it be possible to hold a virtual meeting with the Deep Pockets?
Annie Stevens...
She wants a virtual meeting with the Deep Pockets. S***...
Man...
Geez...
One Gangster, two gangsters, one prosecutor, two prosecutors...
One avenger, two avengers...
Here.
Slush fund in the full...
If an avenger catches a slush fund in the full flop of the account...
Sinseon-dong, Sinseon-dong, Goldman, Goldman...
Turn and Chairman Do...
If Chairman Do deals big, the cards and button
Call, call , call...
And then river...
Soo Yeon.
Chairman.
Kim Yo Han has won another hand.
8,000 on this game.
Today's total is 723 million won.
Let's go in.
Ladies first.
All the VIPs inside have been informed, right?
That I will kill Kim Yo Han tonight.
Yes, they said they'll all cooperate.
Of course...
Chairman Suh, you are here also.
CEO Cha, long time no see.
All right, how are your winning streaks tonight?
This is just the start.
This new guy is something else.
Is that so?
Everyone, take caution.
For an entertaining evening,
[Devil: A slang that means a cheater in Poker] he's a special 'devil'* I invited tonight.
[Devil: A slang that means a cheater in Poker]
It's been a long time, Kim Yo Han.
Thank you for the invitation, Chairman Yang.
Gosh, Yo Han...
You are shameless.
I invited the elders, so they'll have a good time.
But if you keep winning like that, they'll say you're rude.
Oh, my.
I'm sorry.
I guess I didn't read the room.
I heard this was a major league, so
I swung my bat pretty hard.
Chairman Suh? Chairman Suh, right?
Shall I...
tone it down a bit?
Hey.
Even being rude and talking cheap is part of this culture.
Misly a few million won. We'll just say we chewed it out to stay awake.
Right now is just perfect.
Just right.
Now is just right, he says.
What's your name there?
I'm Oh Soo Yeon. It's nice to meet you.
It's my first time meeting you. I'm very pleased to meet you.
Are you seeing anyone?
If there is,
- does anything change? - As for introduction...
I think that's enough.
Okay. Let's resume the game.
I've been looking forward to this night all day long.
I can't bear to wait any longer.
Call!
Who are you looking for, sir?
Is there a VIP room?
Where the stakes are higher.
The high betting room is over there.
Did you see Kim Yo Han?
He went up.
What are you going to do?
Let's make our move.
Betting.
800 Million.
Call.
Open.
Full house.
I got four of a kind.
Fold.
Three.
- Call. - Fold.
Chairman...
you should have some fun, too.
I'm sorry, Chairman.
At a glance, I can tell this hand is...
straight.
I know.
I can tell it's straight at a glance.
Betting.
Check.
1.6 billion won.
Does it seem real now?
What kind of game table you are sitting at?
You don't think I can take 1.6 billion?
That's worth an apartment in Seoul.
No one would blame you even if you fold now. Right?
Call.
What is it?
Open.
He's acting.
I didn't know he was at this level.
He's got a partner.
But who?
Oh Soo Yeon only folded.
D*** it. Who's playing tricks here?
Go ahead.
We need to secure Woo Sang Ki.
And also Attorney Koo Bon Chul.
Both of them at the same time.
Chairman Do abducted Woo Sang Ki, so he can attack Chairman Yang of The Skin Nation.
I don't exactly know why at this time.
Hold on.
Chairman Yang is on the same team as Prosecutor Hong Sang Wook.
Chairman Yang...
He must now know that I'm his enemy.
CEO, please be careful.
And I...
will definitely get out as scheduled.
You do have a plan, right?
You need to look after the first leaguers here.
Especially Nam Dae Moon...
I mean...
There's a man named Noh Seung Hwan.
Please deposit double the usual amount for Noh Seung Hwan.
When you were in here together, you used to be inseparable.
He totally ignores you as soon as he's released?
Oh, my. Kim Yo Han. He's not the person I thought he was.
Whoa!
Chairman Yang will come to you now, Dean.
To the Dean...
I'll tell him myself.
Chairman Suh, CEO Cha...
They've never even met Kim Yo Han before.
Instead, they are helping me kill Kim Yo Han.
Astray, please.
S***...
My luck tonight sucks.
What is it that you want now?
Can't you leave me alone?
You'll regret it
if you let an important person get away like this.
Fold.
Let's say that all the others are like that, but
how could he cajole Chairman Suh?
That old man lacks nothing.
You want me to
work with you to overtake Chairman Yang?
Yes.
I've known those brothers for 20 years.
Did you come here knowing that?
Yes.
Over the past 20 years,
I know you have that many more resentments toward them.
And...
that you hate losing or making concessions. You're a fighter.
I have studied about you up to there.
Lift your head.
I would like to offer you Chairman Yang's The Skin Nation.
I'm not sure if it's to your taste.
10 billion won.
Call.
Got it.
And raised you 10 billion.
- Call. - Got it.
Raise you 20 billion.
Chairman...
Call.
40 billion.
Fold.
Got it.
And raise you 60 billion.
Let's raise the stakes.
Higher?
My 60 billion...
and this VIP room.
Is that possible?
This...
is worth about 80 billion.
Okay...
60 billion.
Accepted and
include the VIP room.
Call.

Kim Yo Han, Oh Soo Yeon...
That's going to be tough.
How could this be?
How much of Seocho-dong did you buy?
That old man is your chairman, not mine.
He's flaunting.
Like saying this is my present to you.
He means to take away a legitimate business and give it away.
What will you need in order to win in there.
The way to access the Labuan Bank account with the Goldman slush funds is...
Director Jin's eye is required?
Director Jin Soo Min manages the account containing the slush funds.
Please get her.
If this is all true,
the Central Investigation Division will be uprooted.
How do you plan to deceive Jang Sun Oh?
Do you want to know?
Did you come here to kill yourself?
If you f*** around, I'll donate all this money away.
Where's Director Jin?
