EPISODE 1

[quirky music playing]

[woman] The urban jungle is frantic.

It moves so fast that no one has a second to spare.

If there was a term to describe the average human living there,

it would be...

Homo Laundrycus.

The laundering human.

From the moment we're born till the day we die,

the laundry piles higher and higher.

So mankind struggles to cleanse itself,

to get rid of all that grime,

to wash away its filth.

[news anchor] Gu Pan-su, known as the Coin King,

was arrested for manipulating the cryptocurrency market.

On appeal, he ended up receiving a fine and a suspended sentence.

The ruling has fueled ongoing debate among victims of this fraud

-over restitution and compensation. -[woman scoffs]

[woman] The thing about laundry is that you can just toss it

into the machine when it's dirty.

But what are you supposed to do with people

who are a lost cause?

[news anchor] The Sand Foundation held a community service event at Sand Haven,

which is a child welfare center located in Gyeonggi Province.

To mark the center's tenth anniversary,

Chairman Jeon Tae-su and his employees

took part in the event and donated sports equipment.

They held a full day of activities to celebrate the center's anniversary.

Welcome to my world, it's one dirty place.

[opening theme music playing]

[bells ringing]

[whistles softly]

I see that ashes are covering your body.

You try to brush them off, yet they cling to you anyway.

-What? What could that mean? -[Baek-hwa screeches, clears throat]

[Baek-hwa gasps, coughs]

[Baek-hwa] This is... [gasping]

It's outta my control.

-I can't stop doing this... [groans] -[woman] That's right.

When she has an exam to take, my daughter can't stop coughing.

She always gets kicked out of her exams,

-so she won't disturb the other students. -But, Mom,

-it's cause I have asthma... -[Baek-hwa groans]

There's a ghost attached to her who burned to death.

A what?

We must go deep inside in order to purge it.

Does that mean we have to perform a ritual?

-Or, uh... -[Baek-hwa] Mark my words!

This November brings you danger.

[sharp breathing]

I can't afford to pay for a ritual right now.

[banging]

[Baek-hwa] This is about saving her life,

and you're talking about money?

[laughing maniacally]

Kim, I need you here!

Kim, I need you now!

[Gu-ho] Coming.

Get them out of my sight!

Why on earth did you bring these two fools into the holy shrine?

[Gu-ho] I apologize.

-[Gu-ho] Ye-sol, let's go. -Uh...

[Gu-ho] Ma'am, come with me.

-[Gu-ho] Ma'am... -I didn't wanna disrespect you.

Oh, you didn't, huh?

Get out now.

-Get outta my sight! -Let's go.

If you can't accept the truth of the matter,

maybe some salt will help.

Kim, you hear that?

Throw salt at both of them!

[Gu-ho] They're leaving.

Let's go.

[mysterious music playing]

That's how she usually is. [chuckles]

She's completely fine.

Ma'am, I hope you don't take too seriously what happened earlier.

All we need...

is for Ye-sol to get a few more questions correctly,

so she can get into a med school in the city.

I'm really sorry that I put you through that.

Ah, why would you apologize?

You care about my daughter, I know that, and I appreciate it.

-[Ye-sol's Mom] Oh, it's here. -[Gu-ho] Okay.

-[Gu-ho] Ye-sol. -[Ye-sol's Mom] Ye-sol.

[Gu-ho] Ma'am, you take care.

Man, it was choking me.

[scoffs]

Kim Deok-pil.

Nice!

I figure that should reel her in.

[chuckles softly] Get in.

She's gonna send the money by the end of the day.

The thing about the poor is their money

tends to act like a feather that's blowing in the wind.

This neighborhood looks like a dump from what I'm seeing right now.

Is it even worth pursuing this?

[chuckles softly]

[mysterious music playing]

There's still so much that you need to learn here, Mr. Kim.

The more destitute they are, the easier it becomes to squeeze them.

They're living hand to mouth, barely make a living,

yet they're so naive.

They'll risk their life savings on their children. [chuckles]

To get the money,

she'll put her store on the market.

[sighs] You think so?

And if she can't sell it then,

she'll take herself out leaving her poor daughter

with the life insurance money.

Gah, you're unbelievable.

-You got a dark sense of humor, don't ya? -[chuckles]

[cellphone vibrating]

IM MI-SEON DEPOSIT: 20,000,000

Look at this?

[both chuckle]

[mysterious music playing]

[men chattering indistinctly]

[upbeat music playing]

[clinking]

The lady has no shame at all.

[Yi-rang] There is only one way that you can win at this game.

Don't let yourself be tricked by what your eyes are seeing.

All of the objects before you

[people gasping]

could be real, or actually...

[people gasping]

-Oh, wow. -That's impressive.

[all chuckling]

They could be something else.

-[all applauding] -[gambler] Well done.

[exclaims]

Oh, hello there, ma'am. [chuckles]

What an honor. I'm so glad to see you again.

[Baek-hwa] Aw...

Thank you for having me. [chuckles softly]

Oh, you look so beautiful. You're especially elegant today.

There's a lot of people who'd laugh at that.

No. That's why this young guy is all over you.

He's handsome, too. You've got a suitor here.

[chuckles]

[Gu-ho] She's laying it on thick.

[dice rattling]

Red!

[all exclaiming]

[Yi-rang] This is our signature game,

a modern take on the traditional juryeonggu

people played while drinking in the old days.

-[gambler 1] Yeah! -[Yi-rang] The odds are 50-50.

It's always the simplest games that bring out the real fire in us all.

[gambler 2] Hey!

-[gambler 2] Go for red! -[gambler 3] Yeah!

I love this kind of thing.

-[gambler 2] Here we go! [exclaims] -[gambler 3] I'm in!

[zips]

[dice rattling]

White or red?

Will you choose the moon or the sun?

Which one will it be?

White.

[gambler 1] I'm on white. There.

I got a good feeling. All right, I'm gonna go red.

-[gambler 2] Yeah. -[gambler 3] Go on.

Do we have any more bets to be placed?

Then let us reveal.

[music intensifies, fades]

White!

[all exclaiming]

White!

[cheering]

White or red?

Which one will you place your bets on?

-[gambler 1] That's enough. -[gambler 2] Wait, wait!

[gambler 1] Go red!

-[gambler 2] Oh my God! -Red.

Red!

-That's right! -Yeah!

[Gu-ho] Red!

[exclaims]

-[James] White! -Bang!

[Gu-ho] White!

Red!

Wow, look at that. We're rich now. [exclaims]

2 WEEKS AGO

[Baek-hwa] I see how someone with a stature such as yourself

enjoys spending their leisure time.

-[Baek-hwa chuckles softly] -[Gu-ho clears throat]

Here's something we thought you'd like.

-[Gu-ho] Call it a gesture of goodwill. -Aw, you shouldn't have.

[dealer chuckles]

-Would you look at that? It's precious. -That's just a tip.

[Baek-hwa] Here's the real gift.

[James] And what is this?

[enthralling music playing]

The great Gwiyisu of Paldalsan deserves more respect.

You were the man able to call the shots everywhere you'd go.

I want this for you.

Let's clean out your dumb boss, get you back on top.

Let's make our own thing.

[music intensifies]

[James] White and red sound different.

Red.

-Red! -[all cheering]

Red! Red!

[exclaims]

Well, I think that's enough for today.

All right now, come on. Don't be silly.

Let me keep going here.

And that is the reason gambling's so hard. Knowing when to quit when you're ahead.

Why do you want to stop now?

Ah!

You got no more cash in reserve, do you?

Is that it? Huh?

-Is she outta cash? -Seriously?

-What? -Is she outta money?

Oh my God. How'd that happen?

-This is insane. -What is she doing?

What the heck?

I guess she's not outta cash.

If you've got eyeballs that work,

then look here.

We always have more than we need.

Our reserve is around three billion.

[laughs]

All right, well, that was uncalled for.

Sorry about that. I do apologize.

Okay, now.

I'm gonna play one more final round.

All in.

[gambler] Whoa.

Ma'am, if you raise the stakes, the remaining players--

Is the young, rich boss about to get in here? Hmm?

Last round. Come on. Let's do this!

[suspenseful music intensifies]

[music fades]

[Yi-rang] In that case,

I'll have a new dealer step in.

[intense music playing]

This is so crazy.

[Gu-ho sighs softly]

Now.

Let's roll the dice, and see what we get.

[instrumental music intensifies]

[dice rattling]

White

or red?

Will you choose the moon,

or will you instead choose the sun?

[suspenseful music playing]

Red?

It's not red. No, no. It's not.

Red.

-Red. -Red. It's red.

-Red. -Red.

Red.

Then I'm white.

[crowd gasping]

[indistinct chattering]

[sighs softly]

[Yi-rang] Shall we go ahead and take a look?

Let's see who the goddess of victory

decides to favor.

-[Baek-hwa gasps] -[Gu-ho] Red!

-[Gu-ho] Red! [exclaims] -[Baek-hwa cheers]

[all whooping]

[gamblers exclaiming]

-[gambler 1] Nice! -This can't be happening.

[breathing heavily]

[Gu-ho] It's two billion. Get it all in.

[Yi-rang] This is wrong!

It doesn't count. It's my money.

-[Yi-rang] Give it back! -[Baek-hwa] You let go!

There's no way I'd lose this game. Give it back. This is invalid!

You running a scam? What are you doing?

You're the one who told us that the odds were 50-50!

[Yi-rang straining] Let go. Let go!

-[both grunting] -[crowd gasping]

-Don't you touch that, you prick! -[Gu-ho grunts]

Oh, I won this!

[Yi-rang exclaims, groans]

[Gu-ho] You got it? [grunts]

[intense music playing]

[swishes]

[sword swishes, zings]

The money stays here.

Leave the money and I'll let you live.

[intense music playing]

[chuckles softly]

You really believe it's that easy to kill someone?

What?

You don't think I can do it?

Okay.

Then let's see it. Kill me. Come on.

[chuckles softly]

Do it if you're gonna do it.

[sword zings]

-It's the police! -[all gasping]

[guard] The police are here! Everyone out!

Run!

-[guard] Hurry! Get out! Go! -[all clamoring]

Freeze where you are!

Well, well, well. It's been a while, Kim Mi-yeong.

What's with the sword? It's dangerous.

Ah...

Are you performing shows at the casino now?

You sure are a busy lady.

[chuckles]

Ah.

Is this about that bag?

-Give it to me. -What? Oh, the bag.

Baek-hwa, hurry. Do it, do it. Here. Give it to him.

Hey, no stop! What're you doing? That bag's mine.

Kim Mi-yeong.

You're under arrest for operating an illegal gambling den,

and for the attempted murder of Pak Tae-chun as well.

I need you to put the sword down. Yeah?

How is spending your own money in your own place illegal?

And what attempted murder? Are you outta your mind? [chuckles softly]

And the rest of you, don't you even think about leaving.

You all came here to gamble, did you not?

So don't you act all innocent now.

No one's getting out of here. Not one person!

She's lost it.

-Get her! -Not today!

[grunting]

-[James] Drop it! -[Yi-rang] No one's leaving.

[Yi-rang] Where're you going?

-[Yi-rang grunts] -[Gu-ho groans]

Deok-pil.

-Deok-pil. [panting] -[weakly] Baek-hwa, get outta here.

-Are you okay? -[Gu-ho] You need to run. Hurry.

[Baek-Hwa] Come with me.

[Gu-ho] Don't worry about me.

Promise you'll live a good life.

Now go! Go! Run! Get out!

I said get outta here!

My love!

I love you!

[groans softly]

[Baek-hwa panting]

Jesus. [sighs wearily]

God, I really thought I was gonna die.

That ruthless slut.

My love!

I love you!

That kid's like obsessed with me or something. It's a little embarrassing.

I can't help it, though.

That's the way it goes.

I guess if it's a crime to be this beautiful,

then I should go to prison. [chuckles softly]

[sirens wailing in distance]

Cut.

[quirky music playing]

Are you gonna lie there all day?

[straining] Dang it. [sighs in relief]

Wearing this disguise was overkill. Jeez.

[groaning in pain] Ouch, that hurts.

Ow, that stings!

[both laughing]

Oh, God, this one was freaking hilarious.

-[continues laughing] -[Gu-ho] Why are you laughing? Quit it.

-That's enough. -Hey. [chuckling]

Seriously? "My love"?

-[Yi-rang grunts] -[Gu-ho groans]

[Gu-ho] My love!

I love you!

-[Yi-rang chuckling] -Hey, that was in the script.

Honestly, I almost got up because of you.

-[James laughing] -I was sticking to the script. Shut up!

-Gosh. Stop laughing! -Hey, maybe he actually meant it.

All right, all right.

Hey, great work, everybody!

-Good work! -[all cheering]

Good work! Nice job!

My money.

[groans]

Two billion.

The money...

What is this?

My two billion. Two billion. Where's the money?

[angrily] Kim Deok-pil, goddamn you!

[yelling]

You suck!

CASINO OWNER HWA-RAN STARRING YUN YI-RANG

DETECTIVE CHOI, DEALER GWIYISU STARRING JAMES

KIM DEOK-PIL, AKA MR. KIM STARRING MYUNG GU-HO

["Lights, Camera, Action" by Hui playing]

I cannot believe you did that.

You had to switch the dealer?

-Did that make sense to you, James? -[James chuckles]

It's always more fun if you improvise a little.

That's the best part of a plan, I think.

Yeah, improvising is okay, but that was a lot.

It threw me when you came in like that.

That's my point.

[Yi-rang] Okay, but that look on your face was pretty good.

Wait, were you actually swooning over me?

-No, I was not swooning. Okay? -[Yi-rang giggles]

-I wasn't. -Never mind then.

-Hey, I'm hungry for some lobster. -Yeah.

[whirring]

[vocalizing]

Mmm.

It's robust, yet not overwhelming, with a delicate nose,

and I feel like I'm detecting a subtle wisp of smoke.

I'd have to say, the best white wine is Montrachet.

[James] Montrachet goes down very smooth.

So, this time it'll be France?

You know, just last week,

I went shopping in Paris, and I bought a winery while I was there.

Oh, I'm not surprised that you would go global with your investments.

[chuckles]

So, how's the laundry bill looking this time?

Well, it's not bad.

The cost of production dropped,

thanks to Mr. Mustache pulling in that casino set from his film days.

Oh, that's so great! Amazing! [chuckles excitedly]

We should go somewhere to celebrate all this.

Yeah, just the three of us, like old times.

How about Waikiki and we go skydiving?

How'd you know that's on my bucket list?

You always wanted to skydive there?

Well, we really do need to go.

I've actually always dreamed of going to Waikiki to surf,

-but this way we can do them both. -[excitingly] Yeah, yeah!

-[Yi-rang] Let's go! [chuckles] -Let's get it!

[Yi-rang giggles] Gu-ho, you're coming, right?

Nah, I'll sit this one out.

-Hey, it's no fun without you, man. -[Yi-rang] Why?

I just don't think this line of work suits me.

I think that I'm done with it.

I'm out.

Ah, jeez.

-What, what are you even saying? -[Gu-ho] I can't do it anymore.

Gu-ho.

Did you forget what we promised?

The ten billion?

We've done more than that by now.

-We have? -Mmm-hmm.

Uh, what about...

[chuckles] this one you do 'cause of your loyalty? Hmm?

'Cause I got some dirty laundry that will require some extra cleaning.

The kind that only you can handle.

Huh? Just stay.

[kisses]

Hmm? Come on, please? Just say yes.

Hmm?

-Huh? -Hey, uh...

I really gotta go. Yeah?

-Don't try to call me. -What--

-Guys, take care. -Oh, you're going?

Are you leaving?

Without your cut?

Donate the rest of it.

Really? Nice guy.

[in unison] Split it?

[both laughing]

Split it?

Seriously? You're not gonna, like, say goodbye, or take care?

Would it kill you to say something like that?

-Okay. Bye. -Take care.

Just forget it.

I'd bet my left arm that he'll come back.

-I'd bet my feet. -Oh yeah.

[both laughing]

1 MONTH LATER

[water sloshing]

[lively music playing]

-[Gu-ho grunts] -[kids laughing]

[Gu-ho groans]

CHEONMYEONG SHOP

-[woman] Come on. -[Gu-ho] What are you guys looking for?

-Good to see you! I packed you some food. -Hello.

Ah, I'm so grateful for everything you do for me.

It's no trouble, I was packing lunch for Bo-ra anyway.

You're very sweet. Thanks.

[boy] One cone and three popsicles. He pays!

[woman] Oh, you little brats.

What do you think he is? Your wallet? [laughs heartily]

-Let's go! -Let's go play!

-Wait! -Come on!

They were nice enough not to pick anything too expensive.

-[both chuckle] -[boy] Bro, hurry up!

Let's play soccer.

-I'll be back, okay? -Okay.

Wait for me!

Hey, pass it, pass it! Pass!

Huh? What?

You need to pass better!

[Gu-ho] Let's go get it. Come on.

[boy 1] Do-na, can you kick us the ball?

[Gu-ho sighs]

-Your ice cream. -[Do-na] Look.

-Huh? -What?

-What? -[Do-Na] Over there.

[boy 2] What's that?

[mysterious music playing]

[boy 3] Oh, that's so cool.

[all exclaiming]

-[boy 1] Aw... -[boy 2] Oh, cool.

Huh?

[boy 3] Huh?

[gasps]

-[both exclaiming] -[thuds]

[Yi-rang yelps]

-[boy 1] Gosh. -[Gu-ho] Oh no.

-Oh, that's... -[Yi-rang groaning]

-[boy 1] Is she okay? -Uh...

Hey, you guys, stay here.

-Okay? -Okay.

-Okay. -Okay.

[quirky music playing]

[Yi-rang] Ugh, I can't breathe.

[Yi-rang groaning]

Hey. Are you okay?

[Yi-rang straining] What the heck?

[Gu-ho] Excuse me?

[Yi-rang] Hey.

[chuckles excitedly]

I missed you!

[chuckles excitedly]

-[Gu-ho screams] -[Yi-rang shrieking]

Yun Yi-rang.

-What are you doing here? -[Yi-rang giggling]

[Gu-ho] Oh, please! [groaning]

Yun Yi-rang. [sighs in exasperation]

What are you doing here? Seriously!

[both exclaiming]

[Yi-rang] Huh?

-[Yi-rang chuckles softly] -[Gu-ho] Yi-rang.

Every time you decide to show up, all peace goes out the window.

-Just like today. -Think about it this way.

A really, really, really quiet Indie film meets me,

and then before you know it,

it has turned into a huge summer success.

A blockbuster smash hit.

Just like the day we first met each other.

[pensive music playing]

[gasps softly] Look, a shooting star!

I'm sure you see them every night. How many have you seen from here?

If the sky is really nice and clear, you can easily see 12 or so in a night.

-Twelve? Really? -Yeah.

[gasps softly]

Oh, that's 12 wishes that could come true every day.

I love it here.

[chuckles softly]

Here.

[exclaiming] Thank you! It's great!

I caught these today myself.

Here. They're fresh wild abalones,

they should be fancy enough for your delicate palate.

[gasps]

This is crazy delicious. It's not just fancy. This is magnificent.

Mmm! It's chewy and... Oh, yummy, yummy!

-Yum! -[Gu-ho chuckles]

It's annoying.

What? What's wrong?

I mean, this whole time I was thinking you were struggling,

living a pitiful life somewhere.

But you're breathing fresh air, eating fresh food.

You don't think about me at all, do you? It looks so nice.

-You were worried about me. -[Yi-rang scoffs]

Oh, you know that I don't worry about anything.

Right, I forgot, those emotions don't belong to someone born a sociopath.

-Gu-ho. -Hmm?

I'm not a sociopath, okay?

Sorry, I, um...

I was just joking. That was a joke.

Okay?

The, uh...

The correct word is genius sociopath, all right?

So will you call me a genio-path? I'm your genio-path, yeah?

-[Yi-rang laughs] -Yeah. Oh my God.

I never stood a chance against a genio-path.

Just eat this, all right?

-Goodness. -Mmm!

Mmm! This is cooked perfectly. Mmm!

JAMES

-[cellphone vibrating] -[utensils clanking]

He's calling late.

James? Hello?

Hmm?

Hmm?

What?

What? What'd he say?

[rapid footsteps approaching]

There.

[both panting]

[machine beeping]

[Yi-rang] It's all your fault.

What?

Why?

What, um... What happened, Yi-rang?

It was perfectly planned out.

What? What was planned out?

How did James end up like this? What happened?

Huh?

Come on, tell me, Yi-rang.

[suspenseful music playing]

Jeon Tae-su.

Jeon Tae-su?

He runs the Sand Foundation for kids.

SAND HAVEN SPORTS DAY

[referee] Ready, set, go!

[kids chattering]

Guys, be careful! Everyone keep their space!

One, two! One, two!

-One, two! One, two! Yeah! -[Yi-rang] On the outside,

he appears to be an honest,

self-made businessman as well as a charitable benefactor

-Yeah! -who uses his fortunes to run

a child welfare center benefiting children in the community.

Bye, kids! See you later!

-[Tae-su] Yeah! [laughs] -[kids chattering excitedly]

Yeah. Okay.

Okay. See you, guys!

-[Tae-su laughing] -[kids chattering]

[Yi-rang] But that image is completely fabricated.

Nice, sir. Well done.

Tell them to bathe the kids.

Yes, sir. We will.

[tuts] For Christ's sake.

[clears throat]

What is absolutely imperative for any relationship's success?

It's trust. I know it is.

Uh, sir, trust is the most important.

I hear what you're saying,

but yet the interest due date has passed, hasn't it?

[stutters] Uh, yes. It...

Uh, that's not it, sir.

Someone is refusing to vacate, so, uh...

We have an issue with the land acquisition right now. Yeah.

And because of that, the construction got delayed.

[clears throat]

And I was unable to get the money.

Sir. Please, sir. I need your help.

[sobbing] I can't handle it, I'm overwhelmed, sir.

How long have we known each other?

For 20 years. This year makes 20, sir.

[intense music playing]

Sir, wait...

[groans softly]

Wait. Wait a minute.

[strained coughing]

The rivers and the mountains could have changed twice

in the time we've spent together.

[man choking]

At this point, we're basically like family.

Yes, sir. Of course.

[straining] Yes, sir. Of course. We're family.

So, in tough times, we should help each other.

As family.

Yes. That's right, sir.

[man groans, coughs]

[Tae-su] Let me settle it smoothly.

Thank you very much. I'm... I'm so grateful, sir!

Thank you! Thank you so much, sir!

NAZARETH CATHOLIC CHURCH

Hey! We're going in!

Seaweed soup today.

[indistinct chatter]

I just need to bring meat and rice.

Min-su, you're late.

Who are you?

Sister, where would you like me to sit?

Wow.

How do you have an appetite...

when you're facing an avalanche of debt?

It's not that I'm not going leave.

As I said before, first,

-I have to find us another place-- -[man] Exactly.

Because you won't cooperate,

we're gonna find ourselves out on the street!

[objects clattering]

Don't just stand there.

-Get to work. -Yes, sir.

-Let's do it. -Oh, yeah.

What are you doing?

-[men grunting] -[objects clattering]

Please stop! [screams]

[Sister] Please stop. No!

Don't do that!

[Sister screams]

Please stop doing this.

-[Sister screams] -Get off!

Sister! My God!

[Sister screams] Min-su!

-[Sister] Min-su! -[man] Get outta my way!

-[Sister] Min-su! [screams] -[man] Move!

-[man groans] -[Sister] Stop it!

[Min-su grunting]

[Sister] Oh no.

[Sister exclaims] No!

RELIGIOUS GROUP REMAINS SILENT

A NEW NAIL HOUSE EXPLOITING YOUTH?

[man] Thanks to you, we were able to start construction on time.

We couldn't have done it if not for your help, sir. Yeah. [laughs]

I'll give you my utmost loyalty from here on out. Yes, sir.

[Yi-rang] Among the loan sharks of the world, he's a living legend.

A common loan shark who used to lend money to market vendors

and rough up gambling dens

became the most powerful gangster in Gangnam.

Let's start with Gwangju today.

[Yi-rang] They call him the godfather of the dark side.

[man] No, sir.

It's coming up light.

[Yi-rang] He rules the underground economy.

His so-called family is built on trust, with him at the very top.

It's almost like a cult.

The solidarity among them is unbelievable.

-They give without hesitation. -[Tae-su clears throat]

They act like real brothers,

bonded by blood and deep family connection.

[intense music playing]

[metal clanking]

Uh, sir, wait...

[grunting]

[pants]

[Yi-rang] But if you betray him, you're done for.

Your life is over.

SAND FOUNDATION SINCE 1998

[Yi-rang] He received a tip that the Financial Investigation Department

was gathering evidence on tax evasion by the Sand Foundation.

The National Tax Service is conducting a special investigation

into their slush funds, but no one knows when they'll strike,

which I'm sure is making him sweat.

The nonprofit foundation is just used as a front

to conceal the massive amount of illicit funds.

And rumor has it that he's stashed away tens of billions of won

from the National Tax Service.

[Tae-su sighs softly]

[Yi-rang] What's impressive is that he's hidden it so well

that no one knows where that money is.

But, anyway, with the investigators closing in,

what Jeon Tae-su needs most right now

is to flee to another country with as much cash as he can carry.

BOAT OPERATOR'S LICENSE KIM HAN-SU

[Gu-ho] And at that exact moment, James made his move.

[James] I'm not worried about the cash,

but without my ID and license, I won't be able to operate my vessel.

I'll look into it for you right now.

[James] Thank you.

Are you looking for this?

Oh my, you found it. Thank you so much!

I'd love to repay you for doing this.

No, it's all right.

-It's fine. -No. Wait, sir.

I'll contact you as soon as I return from Singapore.

CAPTAIN KIM HAN-SU

[Tae-su chuckles softly]

[glass clanks]

-Singapore went well? -Yes.

Couldn't've been better, thanks to you helping me.

[Tae-Su chuckles] Here. Cheers.

[glass clanks]

[James] So, what do you think?

This thing's truly enormous.

-[Tae-su] Yeah, it really is. -[James] Oh, yes. Thank you.

Hmm.

Uh, you know,

I think meeting you was a stroke of good fortune.

[both laughing]

[Yi-rang] We dangled the bait, but he wouldn't take it.

[Tae-Su] I really needed this soak.

[Yi-rang] Then, suddenly, Jeon Tae-su reached out to us.

Captain, I need a favor, and it's big.

Don't you worry, no favor's too big between you and me, all right?

So, tell me what it is. I'm glad to help you out.

Excuse me. [clears throat]

The thing is,

I have a package that I need to move overseas quickly.

[Yi-rang] When James couldn't reach me, he moved forward with the plan without me.

We're from the Customs Office!

-Who are you? -Step aside.

-We're on duty. -Stop! Move it.

-Step aside. -What are you doing?

-Let's go. We received a tip. Let's go. -Stop them.

Open it.

[officer] Huh? What the hell?

There's nothing in here.

[Gu-ho] Are you saying Jeon Tae-su caught on?

[men grunting]

[grunting continues]

[Tae-Su] Stop.

[Yi-rang] That's right.

Jeon Tae-su is the one who did this to James.

PATIENT: JAMES

[Yi-rang] I should've never left him alone.

What am I going to do if James doesn't wake up?

I'll do it.

[machine beeping]

What?

Get 'em back for this. I'll do it.

That'd be too dangerous. No way!

So we just let this prick get away with it?

Jeon Tae-su.

I'm gonna find him,

and take every penny he's got.

If that money is his heaven, I'll make sure he gets a taste of hell.

Listen, I'm really angry, too, okay? But it's too much risk!

Yeah, but James is family.

Is he not?

[Gu-ho] James.

-[James] Hmm? -I got a question for you.

-[James] What? -Who's number one

in your phone's favorites?

-You're funny. -I'm curious. Just tell me.

Come on, dude. It's you.

Whoa, really?

GU-HO

[call tone trilling]

You're always my number one, man.

[enchanting music plays]

Wow.

[James laughs]

Yi-Rang is taking a while.

YI-RANG

[Gu-ho] I was always his number one.

[Yi-rang] What? You were his number one?

That's right.

You were the first person notified about what was going on.

Hmm?

So, what number does he have me at?

James.

-What's my number? -Hey, listen.

That doesn't even matter right now, come on!

-Stop it. Yi-rang. -[Yi-rang] Where's his phone?

Hmm.

Hey, Gu-ho! Check this out.

-What? -Whatcha think?

I'm gonna be like a bong girl, how they kill the bad guys and all,

and they always end up dead. I'll be sacrificing it all...

for our revenge.

Hey!

-How do I look? -No, wait. Just wait.

-Wait. Don't move. -What?

-Stay right there. -Wait, why?

-What? -It's not a bong girl.

-It's a Bond girl. -What?

Please don't go anywhere wearing this.

[groans] No way.

Seriously, I... I'm begging you, wear anything but this.

Why?

I'm too sexy in it? Ah!

Oh, look at you.

You really do look out for me, don't you? It's nice.

I do?

-Mmm-hmm. Don't you? -No, I don't.

-You just can't pull it off, is all. -I can't?

-Me? -Yi-rang.

Honestly, you don't have what it takes to do it. I'm sorry.

[chuckles] Oh God, are you being serious? I get my fortune read to me and...

I'm consistently getting nothing but attractive and popularity energy.

-See, my best weapon is my beauty. -[Gu-ho laughs]

[Gu-ho groans]

Tell me. Has it ever worked for you?

Just look at the way you blackmail.

You're always so over-the-top enthusiastic, it's just overkill.

You make every romantic cell in a guy's body shrivel up and disappear.

Do you remember that money launderer a while ago?

The poor guy turned himself in just to get away from you.

And then what happens? We won't only spend our money,

-but we won't get his. After all that-- -I get it! Now, stop it!

I'll find some other way to do it.

How could you be so cruel to me?

Seriously.

You got this.

-Get lost. -I will.

You can do it!

Stupid idiot.

Did you give up on the plan already?

I mapped it out, it's done.

You're just goofing around.

[scoffs] Well, we do get our best ideas when we're having fun.

So, what did you come up with?

Well, the trap gets set in such a way.

That even the Chairman wouldn't be able to escape it.

We couldn't make it work on the sea, so then,

we'll take it to...

[plane revving]

the sky.

[upbeat music playing]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.

[speaking foreign language]

Thank you for choosing to fly with us today...

[speaking foreign language]

Some fruit for you.

May I offer you some wine or anything else?

-No, I'm just fine. -[Yi-rang] Very well, sir.

SAND FOUNDATION HOLDS EVENT AT THE CHILD WELFARE FACILITY

-Mmm. -Is there anything I can do for you?

[laughs sarcastically]

You know, I'm sure you could have done something better in life than this.

Sir, I'm sure that would have been a waste of talent.

Mmm-hmm.

[slurps]

-[screams] Oh, that's cold! -What the--

-What is this? -It's so cold!

[Gu-ho] Hey, don't you know that I only drink water

from Canadian glacier ice from the North Atlantic?

Sir, I'm sorry, but we had a delivery problem earlier.

[Gu-ho] Delivery problem?

All right, listen, it's unacceptable that your problems

get in the way of the service I should be receiving.

-[Yi-rang exhales] -[Gu-ho] You know what?

Did you get hired by Choi? Should I make sure both of you are fired?

No, I'm sorry. I'm the only one at fault.

You got a lot of nerve talking back to me, don't you?

-I could just-- -Keep it down.

It's not like you rented out the entire plane.

[Gu-ho] Rented out the-- [laughs] What am I, poor?

Why on earth would I ever rent a plane when I own this one?

You wanna get off?

[man] This is only gonna escalate things. If you could please calm down...

[Gu-ho] Let go.

You people are all worthless.

Get me some freaking water. Water. Now!

I was very clear.

And it needs to come from Canadian glacier ice.

[Yi-rang] I'm sorry.

-I'm really sorry. -[Gu-ho] From Canada!

[sighs]

Watch out, man.

What are you doing? You little...

I'm so sorry. My apologies.

Gosh! Get my luggage. Let's go.

[Gu-ho] Are you kidding me? What is this?

[groans loudly] Oh my God. You're driving me crazy.

What are you doing?

That's not my bag!

Ah, seriously! This is so ridiculous!

Why do you always have to do everything wrong?

I can't believe you!

[purrs]

Where's the car? The car...

-[Mr. Mule] I swear, I didn't touch it. -What?

[trembling] I didn't know that that money...

That that money was yours, sir.

I'm begging you, sir. Please.

I promise I'll work like a dog from now on. Please, sir.

You still...

don't know your place.

Hmm.

You've always been nothing but a dog.

-You've never been anything more. -[Mr. Mule coughs]

[Mr. Mule whimpering]

You still owe me the interest. And you'll pay it.

See what parts of him can be sold. Dump all the rest.

[in unison] Yes, sir.

[sobbing] Sir, please give me one more chance.

That son of a bitch.

What the hell is this?

[Gu-ho groans loudly] Oh my God. You're driving me crazy.

That's not my bag!

What're you gonna do about my money?

That's quite the coincidence.

[jazz music playing]

Should you really be this relaxed, Ms. Flight Attendant?

[exclaiming]

What're you doing here?

It's surprising how relaxed you are.

I got worried about you, I wanted to see if you were all right.

Ah, 'cause of that guy?

I'm sure the man is out there,

completely wasted at this point, he likes to party.

[Tae-su scoffs]

[excitedly] Oh, wow! Oh, thanks for bringing it!

I didn't know what to do because I didn't have any way of contacting you.

[Tae-su chuckles]

Consider yourself lucky.

Oh, yes.

[Tae-su] Ah, you know how to drink.

[exhales]

[exclaims]

Why's life so difficult?

You saw how I was treated by that prick, didn't you?

Nobody should behave that way to you.

Thank you. I agree with you.

He doesn't even own the airline, his father does.

What am I, poor? Why on earth would I ever rent a plane when I own this one?

And he was just an accident. A love child.

Oh, no!

Oh my goodness. No. What am I saying?

Oh God. I'm sorry, uh...

I totally, uh...

-I think we should forget what I told you. -What?

I don't know what you're talking about.

[chuckling] Oh, you're funny, aren't you?

-[Yi-rang] Goodness. -[Tae-su laughs]

But the nepo baby is cute, right?

Ugh, cute? You're insane. He's a piece of shit, he really is.

[chuckles]

[Tae-su laughing]

[Yi-rang laughs]

Would you like...

to go somewhere else?

Round two?

Round two.

[Yi-rang] Sounds great! [chuckles]

[Tae-su] Cheers.

[disco music playing]

[people clamoring]

[Yi-rang] Ah, yeah!

Hello, guys!

Hello.

Here's the heir to the throne. Entitled, spoiled brat.

[Yi-rang sighs wearily]

[exclaims]

[Yi-rang sighs]

[Gu-ho humming]

Hey, film this.

Oh, it's the young master himself. [chuckles]

You seem really happy now.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

We got one, high as a kite, right here.

And the other one there, drunk as a skunk.

What a fantastic couple. Hmm?

-You're an idiot! -Yeah?

-Do you wanna die? -Die?

[laughs mischievously]

[Tae-su] Wake up, young master.

Time to get up.

-Hey. -[Gu-ho groans]

Let go of me!

[sighs in exasperation]

Shit.

Who are you?

Huh?

Hey. Put the bottle down and fight like a man.

[scoffs] Not like a wuss.

Fine.

Hey.

Hey.

I was a boxer. Let's go. Huh. [exclaims]

-[Gu-ho yells] -You wanna fight?

Yeah! [groaning]

[both grunting]

-[Gu-ho laughs] -[Tae-su] You like that?

[Gu-ho groaning]

[thuds]

You can spend all this money on gambling,

or you can spend it on drugs. It doesn't matter to me.

What I wanna know...

is how you two could smuggle the money in with no issues.

It was my first time doing it.

You gotta believe me.

Are you just trying to get yourself outta this?

This is something I decided to try this one time, you know?

-It's not like I'm an expert-- -[man] Sir.

You need to take a look at this.

I've got a video clip here.

It's Rising Airlines' love child.

Is that me on the video? Or...

RISING AIRLINES' LOVE CHILD

Check his left arm out.

Huh?

[Tae-su chuckles]

[intense music playing]

-[Tae-su groans] -[Gu-ho] A gun? What for?

-[Tae-su] Stand up. -[Gu-ho whimpering]

Ah.

Ah...

[Gu-ho muffled groans]

Who the hell are you?

[laughing hysterically]

[music intensifies, fades]

YE-SOL'S

[cellphone vibrating]

SAKWANG REAL ESTATE

How can I help you?

Well, I...

I put the restaurant up for sale.

[Ye-sol sighs]

[Yi-rang] Jeong Ye-sol.

How do you know my name?

Aren't you popular in this neighborhood?

Here. This is for your mom.

And just so you know,

you keep faking that cough and you could get a real infection.

[somber music playing]

You've done well in the past, and you continue to do quite well.

Trust yourself, you'd be surprised.

No more fortune tellers for your mom, by the way.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Don't need to say sorry to me.

Take care.

[plastic rustling]

What is this money?

["Got Me Good" by An Shin-ae playing]

[Yi-rang] Let's call it the laundry bill.

You gotta pay to get things clean.

[Mr. Ray-bang] This much evidence could lead to a search warrant within a month.

[Tae-su] I need to move the timeline up.

[Mr. Ray-bang] What do you want me to do about the two?

[Gu-ho] No one must know that we met.

[shushes]

People tend to believe that whatever they see is the truth.

[Tae-Su] Stop wasting your time scheming up a plan and find a way.

That's why I kept you alive.

[Yi-rang] We put a device inside the luggage to fool the X-ray.

[all laughing]

[Yi-rang] It was all a set-up.

[Gu-ho] You were born to do this.

[Yi-rang] I'm sure that would have been a waste of talent.

[Tae-Su] A shame, really. It was almost perfect.

[Mr. Mule] You know what happens when you fail to carry out his orders?

Please, I beg you.

[Tae-Su] We should all stick around, enjoy the finale.

[Gu-ho muffled groans]
