(Episode 2)
Hey, guys, stop.
Hello, sir.
What happened here? It's like a war zone.
Ki Ho.
You trust me, don't you?
My son Seon Kyu.
I did it to get his cure.
The ethnic Korean doctor said...
he lost the cure he'd developed at Harbin Medical University.
He said he'd worked there.
His name is So Ma. He's...
Lee Tae Joon, pull yourself together!
Take your time and tell me what's going on.
There are no remains among the elevator rubble.
Was there someone else?
What were you thinking? Why did you go and do this?
Ki Ho.
Just a week.
Give me a week.
I'll get the cure and then I'll turn myself in right away.
Without the cure, my son...
He'll die.
What kind of a disaster is this?
Get lost, you lot!
Can you watch Seon Kyu for a while?
- Sure. - Thanks.
Are you Shin Yu Ri?
Yes, I am. What's the matter?
We're from the Intellectual Crime Unit.
Did Lee Tae Joon call you today?
What's the matter? Can you explain...
Lee Tae Joon's a wanted fugitive.
What... What do you mean?
Can I see your phone?
Let's leave.
Without you, this place is a grave.
The world is...
My impoverished head.
I'm crazy.
I'm the one going crazy.
My impoverished heart.
Talk to me. Talk to me.
What must we do?
- Bye. - Help me out next week too.
- Okay? - Whenever you want.
Gosh, I'm tired.
Who... Who are you?
Lee Tae Joon?
You...
You scumbag.
How dare you...
That hurt.
Yes, I'm sorry about that.
It's been three years.
Whatever. Why are you here?
You showed off when you can't even remove handcuffs?
I don't believe what I'm seeing.
Now do you feel what it's like to be arrested?
You're just the same.
At around 9pm tonight at Mirae Biomedical in Gangnam-gu,
data of a new drug was leaked.
The suspect, Mr. Lee, was arrested on the scene,
but he got away and is currently a wanted man.
Mr. Lee was an insurance investigator...
who recently resigned...
The proverbs are never wrong.
The quiet cat always gets into more trouble.
After all that showing off and pretending to be upright,
you caused a huge mess.
I had a reason.
I'm sure you did.
I had a reason myself.
It was the first audition I'd passed in years.
"I have no personal feelings."
What a joke. Too bad.
I have personal feelings because of what you did.
I'd be on Broadway now if it hadn't been for you, okay?
Yes. I know it's shameless of me to ask.
Help me out.
I need you on this. Only you can do it.
The bed's comfier than it looks. Do you want to give it a go?
Oh. You needn't worry.
This theater is mine.
They wouldn't put me on stage, so I bought the place.
You can stay here for a while. See you.
Wait.
There are some guys I must find.
The police are searching everywhere for you.
And you want to find some guys? Wake up.
I know. So I need your help.
To save my son,
I need those guys.
Gosh, stop being so melodramatic. I've had enough.
He's not even my son.
Fine.
For one last time, I'll help you.
For one last time in our lives, okay?
Who are those guys?
Here's the profit from short-selling Mirae Biomedical stocks.
As always, everything turned out as the Director had planned.
He's been of such great help every time.
I'd love to thank him in person.
When could I finally meet him?
(Certificate of Deposit)
Assemblyman Yu.
That's not a good idea.
You might be kicked out without anyone finding out.
No one knows how the Director looks.
Not even I, the oldest member here.
By the way...
(Kim Jae Min, Police Commissioner)
I heard that the thief fled.
Wasn't he recommended by you, Director Yang?
Isn't it the police that missed him...
at the scene?
We're taking every measure to find him.
Using the Director's network,
we're soliciting help from the police, the press,
his family, and acquaintances.
I see.
The Director has never made any mistake even in private.
You're right.
Today is a good day. Let's drink.
Cheers.
There's a thief in Mirae Biomedical. You're about to be robbed.
Who is this?
(A Claim Paper)
Your liability for compensation was reflected in your salary.
In case of theft,
you're liable for the damage.
As you can see, it was specified in your contract.
Your contract is automatically terminated as of today.
Refer to the amount of damage in the document.
(The company demands 12 million dollars in compensation.)
You failed to transport a handcuffed office worker?
Do you call yourself a detective?
What happened to Bulgwang-dong's Grim Reaper?
- Hey. - I'm sorry, sir.
I'll arrest him by all means.
(Ryu Kyung Ho)
Yes, you'd better do that.
Your salary will be cut for three months.
Arrest the suspect,
or I don't know what will happen to you.
Understood?
Yes.
Yu Ri.
What are you doing out here?
Detective Park.
Your face has become so thin.
You must be very worried.
I'm too ashamed to face you.
Don't say that.
I met Tae Joon that day.
Really?
This has to stay between you and me.
He asked me to give him just a week.
He's trying to get the drug for Seon Kyu.
So trust him and wait for him.
He's never broken his promise once in his life.
He'll come back.
(Restricted Number)
Yes, Director.
Everything has been taken of as you ordered.
Good job.
But I'm not so sure about Police Commissioner.
Okay. I'll keep an eye on him.
Yu Ri.
Hi.
Who's that?
He's a close friend of Tae Joon's.
Are you okay?
Did you see the news?
I doubt Tae Joon has anywhere to go.
I can't believe he got up to that all of a sudden.
I'm worried if he's locked up somewhere or being blackmailed.
I'm asking around too.
I have no idea...
where he is or what he's doing.
Have you heard anything from him?
No, not yet.
I see.
Let me know if you hear anything.
I'll do anything to have him acquitted.
I'll use my connections or bribe someone if I have to.
Okay. I'll let you know.
This is for Seon Kyu.
Thank you.
See you.
I've been walking around for 30 minutes now.
Walk toward the wall.
I stepped in dog poop. Gosh.
Why don't people clean up after their dogs?
All I see is grass.
She's tall and agile.
And she's probably wearing her hair in a ponytail.
Don't you see any weird girl rock-climbing?
She's awesome.
- Unbelievable. - Is that a human or Spider-Man?
I think I found her. She sure looks weird. Bye.
You're pretty good. Are you getting paid for doing this?
Who are you?
You're Ko Na Byeol, aren't you?
If you're here to offer me a job, say the amount first.
I've been unpaid too many times lately,
so my price has risen a bit.
Keep that in mind.
Lee Tae Joon sent me to you.
Where is he right now?
I'm here to tell you that.
Aren't I nice?
Gosh, I'll teach that man a lesson.
Take me where he is, or I'll teach you a lesson too.
What exactly are you going to do?
Your attitude is just as awful as what you do.
Where is your friend anyway? What's his name?
Right. Jung Woo Sung.
That's the handsome actor's name.
It's Jung Eui Sung.
Also, that idiot is not my friend.
Who is this beautiful lady?
Beautiful lady, my foot.
This auntie was sent by Lee Tae Joon.
What?
"Auntie"?
Are you Jung Eui Sung?
- Yes, ma'am. - All right.
Women hating me...
is a law of nature.
Follow me, kid.
Yes, ma'am.
- Is she your girlfriend? - No way.
(Curtain Theater Company)
Mr. Lee!
I'm glad you're safe.
I'm glad you're safe too...
My goodness.
Cut it out.
We almost died because of you.
Why is she so aggressive?
I can't stand the sight of elevators now.
Na Byeol, what should we do?
Hold on.
Walk carefully.
Seriously.
- Hold my arm. - Thank you.
- Is this safe? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - It's safer than being down there.
- It dropped! - Gosh.
Na Byeol, I don't want to die.
- Hey, stay still. - Gosh.
We all...
I mean, I...
got fooled by So Ma.
The secret clinic in Guro-dong that you talked about...
It disappeared without a trace.
(Dongyang Chinese Restaurant)
I don't know who he is,
but that set is pretty high-quality.
I hacked the security cameras around Mirae Biomedical yesterday.
Gosh, my back.
All right.
I can picture it all in my head.
It's payback time...
for us.
Eui Sung,
let's put a trap on the stock website.
Let's post that we're the thieves of the Mirae Biomedical case,
that we have the stolen data.
Tell everyone that we'll sell the data...
to whichever pharmaceutical company that calls the highest price.
Nationality and size of the company don't matter.
Announce that we'll sell it to whoever pays the most cash.
Eye for eye,
scam for scam.
Tae Joon, this is your time to shine.
I'm looking forward to this project.
(Donggang Pharmaceutical)
The company was going to fail next month anyway.
You made a good choice. At least you'll get your severance pay.
I'll pay you the deposit right away,
why don't you take a trip to Southeast Asia with your wife?
And maybe you can plan for your next business.
Yes, Director.
I just closed the Donggang Pharmaceutical case.
I was just going to call you.
I'll give you one week, leave the country right away.
What?
What do you mean?
A post came up on the stock website,
saying that he's the thief for the Mirae Biomedical case.
He said that he'll be selling Asana within the week.
A week is too short.
I put in so much effort into this...
and it's going to take much more effort from now on.
You know...
that I don't like repeating myself.
All right.
You have a week.
Jerk.
Why is he framing me for Tae Joon's doing?
Does he think I'll listen to him?
I'm going to fight it out until the end, until one of us dies.
Contact the research lab...
and get an update on the ampoule. Hurry them.
We're in a rush. We have no time.
Just one more spoonful.
No?
All right.
I'm going to go clean up, get some rest.
Please go to...
The person you're trying to reach is unavailable at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
You will be charged extra fees.
Where are you?
It's...
really difficult for me to be left alone right now.
You better know how lucky you are.
Only great technicians like me can do this.
- Look at this device. - It's really difficult for me...
- to be left alone right now. - You've only seen this in movies.
This device is...
basically a walking National Intelligence Service.
So, where's your son?
I can hack into the system...
and sync it with your phone so that you can see him too.
What?
Room 6205, in the pediatric wards.
Room 6205, all right.
Wait a minute.
Let's see.
Okay.
On the left is the room and on the right is the hallway.
There's a delay for a few seconds,
but you can watch it as long as you have an internet connection.
Amazing.
Are you here?
Look at this.
It's all over the stock websites.
"Donggang Pharmaceuticals,"
"Developing New Medicine for Leukemia".
"A possibly of jumping with rumors of a merge".
- Everyone is all over it. - As expected.
Let's respond to them.
Hello. Delivery.
You can leave it here.
This precious plant costs 3,000 dollars.
The receiver has to receive it in person.
Can we stamp the CEO stamp to allow us to receive it then?
That's what we usually do.
Tell them that it's against our company regulations.
Tell them that they have to pay if it gets lost.
I'd love to do that,
but if this plant gets lost,
you two are going to have to pay for it.
That can't happen, can it?
Hold on a second.
(Maum Delivery)
I've got a lot of places to go.
But since you two are so beautiful,
I'll wait a bit longer.
(Hours of Operation)
So Ma is at the door. Leave it there and get out.
The CEO is near here, so he's coming right now.
Sorry I was being too strict.
Can you pass me his stamp?
Great.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Why are they at an internet cafe?
They don't look like hackers.
They're probably part-time workers that paste comments...
and spread false news online.
Eui Sung.
How much of the process is done?
We've left 300 comments.
The macro is running smoothly.
Can't we watch them?
We can.
Let's see.
(I see why Donggang Pharmaceutical stocks were going to rise.)
They're going to take Donggang Pharmaceutical, a fake company,
use Asana as a bluffing card...
and merge that with a large pharmaceutical corporation.
The stocks are going to jump.
They'll take the money and wipe out the company.
Quite the plan that is.
Are you speaking in a foreign language?
I have no idea what you just said.
It's Korean.
In other words,
they're going to sell what we stole for them...
and get rich from that.
So what's your plan now?
They're going to get anxious now.
We need to throw a negotiation on the table as a bait.
What's a good one?
A bait?
Let me think. A bait...
Hey.
What?
Darn it.
Where are you going?
What's he doing?
Tae Joon! Tae Joon!
The police are going to get you if you go right now.
(Sangjung Hospital)
I didn't see the culprit yet.
- Are you the guardian? - Yes.
Quick, head in.
(Police)
2 and 1.
Okay. I got it.
Mom, when's Dad coming back?
Oh, he'll be back very soon.
Hey, the third floor.
It's the third floor, but...
(Pediatrics Emergency Room)
Mr. Lee, no. Stop! Not now. Stop!
I can get there in 30 seconds. I'll stall them.
Darn it.
Na Byeol, we'll be doomed if you get caught as well.
(Caution, Stairs may be slippery.)
The game has just begun,
yet we're already blowing ourselves up.
This means that I'm in a little bit of pain,
but I can overcome everything because I have you, Dad.
Seon Kyu, was it your dad?
(Pediatrics Emergency Room)
No one's here. What's going on?
I saw them going into that room.
Hold on.
If that wasn't a cop...
So Ma?
Answer my question,
or I will report you to the police right away.
There's a reason you're not reporting me to the police.
You know that the real culprit is someone else.
Who is the real culprit?
Who's behind all of this?
Were you used too?
That's right.
Just like you, who got fired with a huge damage claim.
I don't need anything else.
I just need to get my hands on that drug...
so that I can save my son's life.
What do you mean?
So your end-goal wasn't selling the data on the new drug?
I was promised...
that I'd get the drug in return for the data.
Where is this jerk?
And what about the data?
I know where he is.
Let's catch him together.
Let's get our hands on the data and the drug.
You can get your job back with the data,
and I'll save my son's life...
with that drug.
How? You were used, and the police are on the lookout for you.
I have a plan,
and it involves you.
It involves me?
Does it also involve the clumsy riffraff whom I almost caught?
Get your facts straight. I'm the only one you caught.
The other guys managed to escape despite the fire that broke out.
But my plan...
cannot be executed with just myself and those guys.
Let's hear it, then.
Mr. Lee.
Thank goodness you're okay. We were so worried.
Oh, that guy... Isn't he that guy from Mirae Biomedical?
Hang on. Then the man who took Mr. Lee at the hospital was...
This is crazy.
How did you get out without being caught on the security cameras?
I'm not like those third-rate thieves that get caught on cameras.
I'm a security expert.
Well, anyway. I'm relieved.
Relieved, my foot.
Why did you bring him here? We went through all that because of him.
So what's your plan?
Which pharmaceutical companies has So Ma contacted so far?
Byren in Germany, Shang Wei in China, and Maizuru in Japan.
Are you most comfortable with Japanese?
- Yes. - Let's deal with Maizuru first.
For now, just watch us.
(Donggang Pharmaceutical)
Hello.
Good day.
- Please, please... - Excuse me.
Excuse me, miss.
- No, please don't come. - Excuse me.
Miss.
As usual, Na Byeol can't do anything without me.
Can you even get this door open without me?
Would you even know what to do with the phone wires without my help?
Pipe down and just tell me what I need to do first.
Or I'll cut off all the wires that are here.
All right. Let's see.
Hey.
(Donggang Pharmaceutical calling Maizuru)
Testing, testing.
Is this the secretary of Maizuru's CEO?
Yes, correct.
I had requested a meeting with the regional CEO for this week,
but I haven't heard anything yet.
I see. The regional CEO will get in touch with you soon.
(Maizuru calling Donggang Pharmaceutical)
- Let's start right away. - Okay.
Is this Donggang Pharmaceutical?
Yes.
This is the enterprise team of Maizuru.
I'm calling about the meeting regarding the new drug.
Oh, no. I don't think we can have a meeting this week.
We will call you back.
Hello?
Now what?
Now, Act Two on standby. Ready?
All right. Let's start Act Two right away.
Ready.
Action.
Is this the CEO of Donggang Pharmaceutical?
Hello, I'm the regional CEO of Maizuru Korea, Laura Kim.
Thank you for coming in person.
It's a pleasure.
Every connection with small but solid businesses like this...
is precious to us.
I once had a drink with the CEO of Maizuru in Ginza.
If you're talking about CEO Suzuki,
you must have gone to Miyako.
In Seoul, the CEO usually likes to go to Mori in Ichon-dong.
When the CEO visits, we would like to take you there.
She's such an amazing actress.
Look at how great she looks on the screen.
Why hasn't she become a successful actress?
Maizuru chose...
lymphoblastic leukemia...
as the future growth engine.
If it definitely has an effect,
we would like to invest in the project.
How much is it that you need?
20 million dollars.
I wish to get the down payment with a check on the contract date.
I see.
Now the terms are clear.
If that's the payment terms you suggest,
I must discuss it with the head office first.
Is there anything that worries you?
Now, leak the fake information about Mirae Biomedical.
I'm not sure if you heard this already,
but rumor has it that Mirae Biomedical got the data back.
You know there has been a rumor, right?
It's just a rumor.
I think we should do a good research first...
before we make any decision.
I understand.
We can't wait long either though.
Then can we test the medicine...
in a few days?
For sure. We will call you.
The sooner, the better.
(Laura Kim)
I got the call.
Hello.
How about tomorrow? What time is good for you?
(Asana Retrieval Operation D-day)
We're supposed to meet So Ma at 11am.
The purpose of this meeting is a test on the new drug.
He's a very cautious man,
so he won't let Asana out of his hands.
We need to arouse him.
Just in case, Laura Kim and I...
will be waiting in the lobby from 10am.
Meanwhile, I want Roy to shadow So Ma.
He will be definitely busy that morning...
getting the hidden Asana ampoule.
A big corporation like this...
often invites lecturers for its employees.
Na Byeol will wait in the lobby...
and distract the real lecturer.
And then Eui Sung will enter the lecture room instead.
Hello. I'm today's lecturer, Kim Hwan Chae.
Our operation is like the Trojan Horse.
We will trick the employees and sneak in.
Then we will have the computer in the room, which enables us to get...
into Maizuru's network, in our hands.
When that's done, Na Byeol and Eui Sung will cover...
the floor over the lab.
It won't be easy to hack So Ma's laptop.
We need to use the local area network,
so you should be as close to the lab as possible.
A private safe. Classic.
He's leaving now. It's earlier than we expected.
Hello.
We don't have much time. Let's meet in your room first.
Wait.
Darn it.
Tae Joon, do you hear me?
This is one hour earlier than the appointment.
Do you think he noticed it?
If you turn him down now, he will be suspicious of you.
Let's get our customer a room as he wishes.
Eui Sung, take a look.
(Executives' summer holiday schedule)
(Kim Hwan Chae's Special Lecture on Network Security)
A director of the eighth floor is on a business trip to China.
Okay. Roy, Na Byeol, go to the eighth floor.
Su Kyung, are you ready?
Yes.
- Thank you for coming. - You're welcome.
This way, please.
Eui Sung. The elevator.
It breaks down all the time.
Why on this important day, of all days?
I guess it was a good idea to come early.
You go downstairs first. I'll wrap it up.
(Regional CEO Laura Kim)
Okay.
Hey!
Yes, sir.
I'll put the file in your room then. Okay.
Someone is heading to the CEO's room. What do we do?
Should I knock him down?
Eui Sung, stop the elevator now.
What? Again?
My apologies. This is not how we usually treat our important guests.
This has happened before once. Please give us some minutes...
Security. What's the matter?
Do you want me to take care of it?
I'm sure Su Kyung can handle it. Wait for now.
He should leave soon.
Where were we?
I think we must call a technician.
I'm here for an important meeting. What on earth is going on?
Send a technician right away.
Well...
Do you know who is here right now?
The regional CEO...
I have been claustrophobic since I was a little girl.
Gosh, I thought I was recovered.
It suddenly came back.
I think if I sit down and take a quiet rest, I'll be fine.
Please be quicker. Please.
- I'm glad it's fixed. - Are you all right?
Yes.
After the meeting today, I'll call the elevator company...
and teach them a lesson.
Different passwords for different websites.
Never use privacy-related numbers.
Understand?
(Kim Hwan Chae's Special Lecture on Network Security)
One more thing.
Today's proverb.
Social media is a waste of life.
Thank you.
This way, please.
Door closing.
Emergency disease control.
This place is highly likely to be the source of cockroaches.
Don't put food anywhere.
Come back after a two-hour break.
Gosh, I was so afraid I might get caught. I almost died.
What a coward. Are you a chicken?
Gosh, what's that? Catch them!
I can't. Insects are scary.
What the...
What has got into you?
(Regional CEO Laura Kim)
Okay. All set.
- Shall we? - Yes.
Seon Kyu.
Seon Kyu, breathe.
Seon Kyu is... Please come have a look.
Seon Kyu. Seon Kyu.
What happened? How's Seon Kyu?
- Is he okay? - Where are you?
Get over here now, whether you're arrested or not!
No, the drug...
I can't go without the drug.
I'll come when I have it. I just...
Seon Kyu.
Yu Ri. Yu Ri.
No, no. No, wait.
Wait.
Here. The result shows...
Hello.
Sir.
I said I'd accept a test, but this is wrong.
This isn't a joke.
If this is how you do things, the deal's off.
That's good to hear.
Then negotiate privately with us.
He's Mirae Biomedical's Head of Security...
who was fired for leaking information.
That was last week's story.
I was promoted to Head of Safety and Security.
I caught the thief and restored the data.
You restored the data?
We wouldn't tell the world about it.
Of course it all happened in secret.
Until prior to the leak,
our Asana was the only cure for lymphoblastic leukemia.
When a company I'd never heard of until days ago...
claimed to have developed the same drug, I wanted to meet you.
You're backing out as soon as we meet?
So what? Ours is a fake?
If you were to leave now, wouldn't anyone believe so?
Rumors would spread.
That you have fake or...
stolen goods.
Isn't this a malfunction?
Data never lies.
Shall we switch and try again?
Let's all calm down.
Make up your mind after we inject a dose.
I will administer it myself.
Very well.
- Mirae Biomedical? - I'll also do it myself.
Tae Joon's in the elevator on his way there.
What do you mean?
Lee Tae Joon. What are you doing?
Eui Sung. Stall him until we're done here.
As if he can do that.
Na Byeol, do you see him?
I don't. Where did he get to?
He's right outside.
What's going on?
- Move. - It's your plan.
Will you ruin it?
I said move.
Dad.
Where is he?
Dad? He'll be here. He's coming.
Get over here!
He's looking for you!
Save him first.
I'll do what I can here.
I'll show you the way.
Director Kobayashi said he will sign with...
whoever can show they can produce...
the new drug.
This isn't for me to decide.
May I call the head office?
Sir.
If you hand over the formula,
the deal is yours.
Very well. I'll inform them.
Prior to signing a contract,
we cannot share any detail of any product.
But Mirae Biomedical...
will waive the royalties of...
Asana's sale in Japan for three years.
Mirae Biomedical will not demand any royalties...
for three years.
Really? That's a good deal.
Sir, are you all right?
(Copying file)
(Investment Agreement)
Please wait.
I'm from the Intellectual Crime Unit.
You're under arrest for investment fraud, professional malpractice,
and breaking the Foreign Exchange Control Law.
What?
You can hire a lawyer,
explain yourself, and challenge the arrest.
That woman, Laura Kim.
Donggang Pharmaceutical's regional CEO. She works for you.
She demanded a commission too.
I'm Laura Kim, Donggang Pharmaceutical's regional CEO.
It's an honor to meet you.
(Donggang Pharmaceutical)
I ensure you that Maizuru will be given the new drug.
However, my CEO would like a commission.
That's the condition.
In a check for Japanese yen.
Sure. I understand.
(Copying data, completed)
In exactly five minutes, the data...
Look at all these charges.
You'll rot in prison for a long time.
I'd just love to beat you up.
Let me ask one thing.
Did Mirae Biomedical really restore their data?
I'm sure of it.
Just worry about yourself.
Darn it!
(Sangjung Hospital)
Seon Kyu!
Seon Kyu! Seon Kyu.
Seon Kyu! No! No, no.
Seon Kyu!
Seon Kyu. Seon Kyu!
Seon Kyu.
No.
You can't do that. Seon Kyu.
Seon Kyu.
Seon Kyu. Seon Kyu...
(Starting Flu Vaccination)
Seon Kyu.
(Rehabilitation Center)
You're under arrest.
Hold on. Wait.
Wait. Let me just give him the medicine. Hold on.
Hold on!
Wait, wait. Yu Ri!
Yu Ri. Seon Kyu!
Seon Kyu. I'm here, Seon Kyu. I'm sorry.
