(One week to D-Day)

(Kkangsuni) Wow.

This is no joke. [Fixer exclaims]

(J) Let's see.

[beep]

(J) I knew it.

[dynamic music]

You'll see four micro holes.

(Kkangsuni) Yes, that's right.

[clank]

- (Kkangsuni) Wow. - (J) Nice.

(J) The main computer in the control room

can order the main circuit of the vault

to create a password.

Then, the main circuit

creates a 16-digit password

and sends it back to the main computer.

[Kkangsuni agrees] Then...

the security manager comes here from the security room

and uses that password to open this vault.

That's the idea.

(Fixer) What?

(Kkangsuni) Sounds complicated.

[J sighs]

[J and Fixer laughing]

I accessed the server of the main computer in the control room.

(Yeon) I ordered the main circuit

to create a password as well.

(J) Which chip creates the password?

[intense music]

[Kkangsuni groans]

[computer beeps]

(Yeon) Firewall...

deactivation...

complete.

(J) Okay.

(Yeon) Password.

It's 832-0523-7882-06580.

[lock clanking open]

[tense music]

(Fixer) Please.

[clanking sound]

Is it open?

[clanking sound]

(Kkangsuni) Okay.

[J groans]

[J laughs] [Kkangsuni and Fixer exclaim]

(J) Nice.

[J laughs] (Fixer) Nice.

(J) We have one week until D-Day.

We must switch our 500 billion won worth of supernotes

with the 500 billion won in this room within the week.

Okay.

Let's go!

- (Fixer) Yes! Let's go! - (Kkangsuni) Let's go!

- (Yeon) Go! [J moans]

(J) Nice to see you, lady in yellow.

(security worker 1) Sir.

Have some coffee while you work.

(Yungyu) Yes, coffee.

(Fixer) Yungyu!

[ominous music]

- Who... - (Fixer) It is Park Yungyu, right?

[muffled scream]

[muffled scream]

(Yungyu) Thank you.

[tense music]

[scanner beeps]

[in English] (doctor) This printer can replicate human skin,

blood vessels, corneas, even entire organs.

[Yungyu groans]

[in Korean] (Yungyu) Damn it.

I need to quit drinking. [intriguing music]

[J sighs]

(J) How much is left?

(Kkangsuni) Just 25 billion won more, and we're done.

(Fixer) We started working at dawn all week and still couldn't finish.

Now, we have to beat the clock on D-Day.

- Right? - (J) With this many people,

one hour is more than enough.

You can do this.

Okay, let's go!

[upbeat music]

- (Kkangsuni) Let's do this. - (Fixer) Okay.

(Fixer) Go!

[lock beeps]

(security worker 1) Yes, sir.

(Yungyu) Look there.

Do you see?

(Yeon) The password is 857-8538... [keypad beeping]

then 1005-83880.

[clanking sound]

[tense music]

[Fixer grunts]

- (Yungyu) Trash. - (security worker 1) Yes, sir.

- Get that cleaned up. - (security worker 1) Yes, sir.

Yes, this is the security team.

I see trash in Area One.

Yes, thank you for your help.

[music: "Villains" theme song]

(mole) Quickly!

(Yeon) Let's go!

(Junggi) The big boss told me to gear up for a rough job.

No one is even guarding it.

What in the hell?

They must have all crawled underground.

(gangster) Should we take a closer look?

[Junggi sighs] [dynamic music]

[Junggi pants]

(Junggi) That thing...

Give it to me.

Are you trying to advertise this? Damn it!

Stash it away.

Stash them all away!

(Junggi) I'll go in with Unit One.

Unit Two, wait here.

Unit Three, bring the aerosol bomb. Got it?

(gangsters) Yes, sir.

(security worker 2) Sure, one second.

- Sir. - (Yungyu) Yes?

The NIS wants to talk to the security manager.

- (Yungyu) The NIS? - (security worker 2) Yes.

- Why? - I'm not sure.

They're on line one.

(Yungyu) This is the security manager.

(Gitae) Is the cash being moved now?

(Yungyu) No, not yet.

It will start after lunch, at 1 p.m. What is this about?

(Gitae) Do not move the cash before we get there.

Also, check the vault immediately.

(Yungyu) Okay, we'll do that.

[ominous music]

There's nothing wrong.

- Yes? - (Yungyu) Let's get down there now.

- (security worker 2) Yes, sir. - You keep watching.

[tense music]

[card reader beeps]

- (J) Is this the last of it? - (mover) Yes, it's the last.

(J) Clear out.

(Yungyu) What's going on?

I said, what's going on?

(mover) My colleague had diarrhea and had to rush inside.

[ominous sound] (Yungyu) Did he?

(Yungyu) Then why are you sweating so much?

(mover) I'm naturally very sweaty.

(Yungyu) Hey, you!

What are you doing here?

(J) Gosh, this is why I didn't want to do this.

The bank is always the king, and the movers are just peasants.

Did I do something wrong?

[ominous sound]

[Yungyu clears throat]

(Yungyu) Movers always wear their hats.

Don't you know?

[upbeat music]

(J) You know what? [J laughs]

I hung my hat right here.

(Yungyu) The moving schedule changed.

We're starting later. Go rest in the waiting room.

(J) Yes, of course.

My goodness, I apologize.

Yes, please excuse me.

I apologize.

I haven't worn a hat in a while.

- (J) Gosh. - (Yungyu) Damn.

His eyes are oddly friendly.

- (Yungyu) All done? - (security worker 2) Yes.

[door lock beeps]

[ominous sound]

[tense music]

[upbeat music]

(Yungyu) What is going on here?

(Gitae) How much cash are you moving today?

It's 750 billion won plus the VIP safes.

(Gitae) Where is the new building? [dynamic music]

It's around Gangnam Station.

[in Chinese] (mover) Stop!

[in Chinese] (Kkangsuni) What are you doing?

Move!

[in Korean] (J) Moles, where are you?

[in Chinese] (Kkangsuni) Move! [tense music]

(Fixer) We're 2km away from base camp.

(J) Timing is crucial.

When you reach base camp, Kkangsuni can start climbing.

How long until you break into the Seoul transport main control room?

(Yeon) Maybe 20 minutes?

(J) Miners, when are you leaving?

(miner) I'm not exactly sure.

Probably after the security search.

(J) Okay.

The miners are about to leave.

Moles, move fast.

[in Chinese] (Kkangsuni) Let's go!

[dynamic music]

[in Korean] (Yungyu) We load three trucks with 250 billion won each.

We load the VIP safes on the last one.

(Gitae) Then, the security check...

(Yungyu) The surveillance cameras didn't show anything peculiar.

The vault checked out as well.

- (Gitae) Can I take a look? - (Yungyu) Yes.

[lock beeping]

[tense music]

[in Chinese] (Kkangsuni) Stop!

[in Korean] Boss, we've reached base camp.

(J) Kkangsuni, start climbing. Fixer...

Wait until you hear from me.

(Kkangsuni) See you at the peak.

[in Chinese] (Fixer) Okay, we should hurry too.

[in Korean] Here we go.

[dramatic music]

[Kkangsuni grunts]

(Gitae) Here.

Take this.

(Yungyu) Why...

(Gitae) From the cash in the three trucks,

each of you, take out one 50,000-won bill.

(Yungyu) Why?

(Gitae) Counterfeit bills have been reported.

(Yungyu) No way. That can't be.

(Gitae) You don't want to?

(Yungyu) That's not what I meant.

I'll take them out.

[Gitae sighs]

(Yongsan) I should have known when Suhyun crawled back to us

to turn herself in.

She played us.

Are you even sure about the fake 500 billion won?

[Gitae sighs]

Hey... [tense music]

(Gitae) What is Suhyun doing right now?

(Yeonchae) She skipped lunch.

She's sitting in the corner, not budging.

I'm going to interrogate the hell out of her, so make sure she eats.

(Yeonchae) Yes, sir.

[end call sound]

[Gitae sighs]

[heavy music]

[ominous music]

- (J) Not yet? - (Yeon) Don't nag.

(Yeon) Rushing won't get it done. [tapping keyboard]

[in Chinese] (J) Tiger Tunnel, report.

[in Chinese] (man) It's been 48 minutes since 20 weasels entered the tunnel.

[in Korean] (Junggi) Wait here.

[Junggi sighs]

(gangster) There are three underground bunkers.

(Junggi) Which way is the entrance and the exit?

(gangster) You're holding the map upside down.

Jongno is this way.

Majang-dong is this way.

We should see the bunker just around the corner.

[Junggi laughs]

- (Junggi) Damn it. - (gangster) Sorry, sir.

(Junggi) Yeah, I never did my military service, you punk.

(gangster) I'm sorry. [Junggi scoffs]

[tense music]

(gangster) I'm sorry.

[dynamic music]

(J) Fixer, we're going in 16 minutes. [Fixer exhales]

(gangster) Look at this. There's a bunker 30m underground.

(Junggi) Is this the time to be awestruck?

In a few minutes,

they will come around that corner with 500 billion won.

They don't know we're here.

We'll ambush them with the bomb

and leave with 500 billion won.

(gangster) Yes, sir.

[ominous music]

(police) What's going on?

(police 1) There's no blackout. What's wrong with this?

(police 2) Get the surveillance footage from the other roads,

and put it on the screen to check.

It's nothing, right?

[Yeon exhales]

(Yeon) I'm done.

(J) Good work.

(Yeon) I'm only doing this

for Suhyun.

You have to get her out.

(J) Don't worry.

It's all taken care of.

[Kkangsuni pants]

[epic music]

[Kkangsuni pants]

Okay, here we go.

[tense music] [Kkangsuni pants]

(J) Kkangsuni,

how long until you reach the peak?

(Kkangsuni) Approximately two minutes.

[Kkangsuni pants]

[ominous sound]

[tense music]

[gas leaking]

[dramatic music]

[escalating sound]

[loud bang]

[tense music]

(Junggi) Those bastards.

[scuffling]

[urgent music]

(J) Intercept the traffic lights.

[cars honking]

[police chattering]

(police 2) What's up with the lights?

The remote control won't work. What's going on today?

This is bad.

- Yes, we know... - Yes, nothing works.

(police 2) It's like a parking lot now.

[urgent music continues]

[Kkangsuni grunts]

[ominous music]

[Kkangsuni pants]

[Kkangsuni gasps]

[urgent music]

[Kkangsuni grunts]

[scuffling]

[Fixer gasps]

(Yeon) The Seoul transport control room caught on to my hacking.

We'll lose them in one minute.

(J) Kkangsuni, are you almost there?

- (Kkangsuni) I'm almost there. - (J) You better be.

[scuffling]

[man 1 screaming]

[man screaming]

[man groaning]

[man groaning]

[man 2 groans]

[Fixer panting]

[Kkangsuni scoffs]

(Kkangsuni) What's this? Is that all?

[Kkangsuni exhales]

[Kkangsuni exhales]

[Kkangsuni grunts]

[car honking]

[car honking]

[Yeon gasps]

[tires screeching]

[car honking]

[car honking continues]

(driver) Damn it. [J apologetic groan]

(J) I'm so sorry.

The traffic jam was so bad.

I dozed off before I knew it.

(driver) What's with the reckless driving?

- (J) I feel so bad. - (driver) My neck.

(J) This was for the materials.

(driver) I need to see a doctor.

(J) Who cares? Whatever.

- (J) Here. - (driver) Gosh.

(J) It's five million won.

[ominous music] [J chuckles]

No strings attached.

Even a dog knows how good cash is.

[driver and J laughing]

(driver) You're so straightforward.

- (J) Thank you. - (driver) Sure.

- (J) No insurance. Drive safely. - (driver) Okay.

(J) Take care.

Okay.

All clear!

[car engine starting]

[car engine starting]

I'm Kkangsuni from the Iron Curtain, North Korea.

Nothing is impossible as long as you have grit.

[tense music] [man 3 groans]

[man 4 groans]

(Fixer) Damn it!

(Junggi) This is ridiculous.

(Fixer) Damn it! Run! Hurry!

(Junggi) Damn.

[Junggi panting]

Hey, clean it up.

[gangsters groaning]

[Junggi sighs]

- (Junggi) Congratulations. - (Junghyuk) Quiet!

[lighter flicks]

[Junghyuk sighs]

[solemn classical music playing]

[Junghyuk sighs]

[Junghyuk exclaims]

[Junghyuk sighs]

[hopeful classical music]

[Junghyuk sighs]

[Junghyuk sighs]

[music cuts off] (Yeon) The 500 billion won

all went to Junghyuk.

What about Suhyun now?

Without the money,

how are you going to get Suhyun out?

[Kkangsuni sighs]

(Fixer) Is that USB really worth all the trouble?

(J) I was going to use this as blackmail when I left.

I thought I could flee safely.

(Fixer) I just don't get it.

I mean,

who were you going to blackmail?

(J) The head of the NIS, of course.

(Fixer) The NIS...

[intriguing music]

(J) Create a shipment invoice

to get through the main gate of the Incheon Container Terminal.

(Fixer) Okay.

(Yongsan) We've been on the road for hours. [car honking]

We're wasting time.

I feel just as clogged up

as all of this traffic. [Gitae sighs]

Who should I thank for that?

[phone vibrating]

(Gitae) Who is this?

(security manager) I manage KC Bank's new building security.

(Gitae) I see.

Did the cash trucks arrive safely?

(security manager) The cash is all inside,

but we have a problem with the truck with the VIP safes.

(Gitae) What kind of a problem?

(security manager) Well... One of the safes was robbed.

It belongs to Chairman Bang of Myungsung Group.

(Gitae) I'll be right there.

[end call sound] Go to KC Bank's new location.

(Yongsan) What's going on?

Someone robbed the safe of the chairman of the Myungsung Group.

(Yongsan) What? [Gitae sighs]

(Junghyuk) Hey!

[splashing sound]

Gosh, it's a big one.

- Get it. - (Junggi) I got it.

(Junghyuk) Goodness.

Look at this.

Wow.

[Junghyuk laughs]

Hey.

Doesn't it look like it will die?

- (Junggi) I don't see how it can live. - (Junghyuk) It can.

It won't die.

It's not enough to die,

so it will keep living in that state.

[Junghyuk laughs]

You know,

even with fish,

I don't touch the guts.

That's how I deal with people.

It's my silly philosophy.

Some suckers borrow from me

and never pay me back, right?

I beat them up just to keep them alive

so that I can get my money before I set them free.

Until they fatten up again.

[ominous music]

Okay.

[dark music]

(Junggi) Shouldn't we get going?

Thank you.

[Yongsan sighs]

(Gitae) Damn.

(Yongsan) Where are you off to again?

(Gitae) Why? Are you going to follow me again?

(Yongsan) Yes. [Gitae sighs]

(Gitae) Hey.

You keep following me for no reason.

Aren't you sick of it?

(Yongsan) You brought this on yourself. Don't raise your voice at me.

(Gitae) If you can't trust me, assign someone to follow me.

Changsuk!

- (Changsuk) Yes, sir. - (Gitae) Come with me.

- (Changsuk) Me? - (Gitae) Yes, you idiot.

(Yongsan) Changsuk, go.

Go.

- Call me. - (Changsuk) Okay.

[Chairman Bang sighs]

(Chairman Bang) Have you called Gangnam?

(man) We can't reach them.

Junghyuk, that asshole.

My vault was robbed, and I can't reach him.

If it gets leaked, it's all over.

(woman) Chairman, the NIS Financial Crime Unit

is here to see you.

[Chairman Bang laughs]

(Chairman Bang) I was going to call the police anyway.

Seeing the NIS on the case,

I assume you've been filled in.

(Gitae) Yes.

How is the head of the NIS?

(Chairman Bang) I haven't called him since we played golf a few weeks ago.

(Gitae) Even if you hadn't called,

I'm sure he's enjoying himself.

Don't worry. He's good on his own.

(Chairman Bang) I see.

(Gitae) Usually, with the VIP safes, sir,

they're worth millions and billions

filled with diamonds, securities,

and sometimes with confidential documents.

They usually hold things like that.

Did your safe also hold

some really important stuff?

(Chairman Bang) It isn't cheap.

I wouldn't keep just anything in there.

(Gitae) Regarding KC Bank's cash moving, [emphatic sound]

we were tipped off

that 500 billion won would be swapped to counterfeits.

(Gitae) During our investigation,

we found out that your safe was robbed.

Before we connect the two cases,

we'll look into this quietly.

(Chairman Bang) Okay, it's the NIS on the case.

I feel a little relieved.

What was your name again?

(Gitae) My name?

(Chairman Bang) Yes.

(Gitae) I'm Cha Gitae.

(Chairman Bang) Agent Cha, you're as quick as a cat. [emphatic sound]

I'll let the head of the NIS know.

(Gitae) Sure, suit yourself.

[cup clinks] I'll get going.

- (Chairman Bang) Go ahead. - (Gitae) Well...

I should take this cake.

I almost forgot.

By the way...

Chairman, sir.

There's a guy named Jang Junghyuk.

He's the Seoul City Police Violent Crimes Unit Chief.

Do you know him?

[tense music] (Chairman Bang) Jang Junghyuk...

Well, I might have heard of him.

I've met with so many people.

I'm also a bit flustered. I can't remember well.

It's how it is at my age.

[Chairman Bang laughs]

(Gitae) I see.

[door closes]

(Chairman Bang) How much has been leaked?

[Junghyuk sighs]

(Junghyuk) Junggi!

(Junggi) Yes, sir.

(Junggi) Yes, sir?

If you drink the seawater because you're thirsty,

will it be okay or not?

[Junggi inhaling]

(Junggi) Well...

It's not okay.

You'll become even thirstier if you drink it.

(Junghyuk) You're right.

I never knew that, even when I was a child.

I couldn't stand feeling thirsty.

Whether it was seawater or muddy water,

I just had to drink something.

So,

I drank until I dropped.

Like you said,

I became thirstier

the more I drank.

That's the nature of money.

The more you have, the thirstier you get.

You want more.

Junggi.

That money?

I'm gulping it all down.

[Junghyuk inhales]
