What? Did you leave something?

Yes. I definitely remember bringing a tool,

but I can't seem to find it.

This?

Oh, there it is.

Wuk, you can go back if you're nervous.

Pardon?

It's okay if you do.

No one would blame you at all.

It's okay.

Take the boat when it leaves.

I'll call you when I'm done.

The reporting will go quickly.

I'll come with you!

Senior!

200-ri away northwest of the city of Paju.

There's seed money on the northern side.

Do you want to eat?

You want to pay before you eat?

Manager Lee Gi Hyeon suggested that I come here.

I heard you do everything as long as capital is provided.

I would like to hit...

the jackpot, too.

This is a rice-and-soup restaurant.

I know you do it.

- Kim Wu Jong. - Kim Wu Jong speaking.

You were recently discharged.

I have to start a business.

I saved all the army salary to do that. I didn't even spend on food.

Don't be so proud, bastard.

You should work hard and make money at your age.

What did you say? You want to hit the jackpot?

You'll fail miserably at that rate.

You want me to make that happen?

Bastard.

200-ri away northwest of the city of Paju.

There's seed money on the northern side...

I came to the right place.

This is suspicious.

Do you really not know Manager Lee Gi Hyeon?

How am I supposed to know him? Huh?

Why did you hit me?

- Should I know everything you know? - Geez...

Can a cop do this?

Manager Lee Gi Hyeon.

We helped him set up at the mango farm in Cambodia three years ago.

A ping company that's been providing databases regularly.

But the police shut them down two years ago. [Ping: Smishing, voice phishing]

The manager is currently in prison in Korea.

Oh, Kim Wu Jong?

He worked for me for about 1.5 years.

He visited me in prison last week.

He wanted referrals since he wanted to get serious about this work.

You said you welcome referrals anytime.

So�

Attorney.

Thank you.

I'll call Sergeant Kim.

It's a big world, and there are many things to do.

A young man should want a proper job.

That little punk. Geez.

Have you eaten?

I'm asking if you've eaten.

Are you talking to me?

Yes. You, you.

He wants to buy you a meal. Just let him.

Let's go eat, Mr. Kim Wu Jong.

- Any food that you don't like? - No, sir.

Good work.

Let's go say hello.

Okay.

Gosh. I feel terrible.

We should've believed they were customers and fallen for it to the end,

but we ended up finding out.

I heard they're investigative reporters.

I'm asking since they're reporters.

I want you to answer me, too, Wu Jong.

Do you think the truth is worthy enough to cost your life?

No...

I don't think it is.

No.

Do you like rice and soup?

I do, sir!

Let's get going.

All right.

[Taxi Driver 3]

The fish truck and the photographer must be heading to the mainland.

- Go Eun. - Got it.

We'll follow them when they arrive on the mainland.

The police car is here, too.

This means the temple is empty.

The ledger you mentioned.

Shouldn't you go now to look at it?

You'll have to go fishing alone, then.

Okay. Let's all get busy, then.

Yes.

The seven international packages at the top

need to be shipped today.

- They need them urgently. - Yes. Got it.

Gosh, Mr. Go.

Did you take a lot of photos?

Did everything get resolved for you?

Yes, of course. The script was good already.

What brings you to the mainland this time?

Well, I'm working on a ping script.

I can't wait to see this one, too. [Ping: Smishing, voice phishing]

I heard someone stopped by the temple yesterday.

Have you met them?

I heard they came to fish.

In a taxi.

You should try meeting them, too, sir.

I will.

Jeon Hong, aren't you out of talismans?

Come by briefly after work.

I'll make you a few.

Yes, sir.

These are kimchi dumplings.

Sergeant Kim!

- Yes. - Go and watch them fish.

Fish?

They took a taxi to fish?

I'm envious of them.

What? Did it bite and run away again?

I don't see the other person.

Gosh. You didn't catch any today, either.

Should I tell you a good fishing spot?

I'll try a little longer here.

You can't catch fish here. Okay?

Get in.

You'll never catch any. What's the point of waiting?

Get in. I'll take you where you can catch a lot.

Well, it's okay.

Mister, I thought you were here to fish.

Yes. I am here to fish.

Wait a moment. I'll be right there.

You can catch a ton if you go a little further this way.

It's tasty. It's convenient when you want a quick bite.

Hyungnim, it's here.

I'll follow the fish truck.

- Let's go. - Okay.

I'll follow him inside.

Okay.

Thank you for having courage.

Okay. Who would like to speak?

- Sit over here. You aren't late. - Okay.

Okay. Make yourself comfortable.

Okay. Who wants to be courageous next?

Yes. Go ahead.

I got a payment reminder for a DUI yesterday.

My wife freaked out, asking if I drank again.

And I kept saying I didn't.

She came to understand...

Alcoholic Rehab Center?

I swore I'll stop drinking.

Wasn't that impressive? Applause.

Okay. As a follow-up to the impressive speaker...

The one who came earlier.

Sir? Would you like to speak?

I'm actually working on a TV drama script.

But well, I had an idea,

but I didn't know how to write it convincingly.

But after hearing a real story,

I thought, "I can write it this way. That would be convincing."

I feel so liberated now.

So, you were a writer.

You'll hear a lot of stories today.

- Thank you. - What's he saying?

Let's applaud the writer, too.

[Yellow Sea Breeze Fish Market]

[Operations Manual]

You. You.

You. You.

This just got delivered. It must be for you.

[Operations Manual]

They make them on the island and ship them out.

You.

You. You.

It's a plane ticket.

The seven of you will leave for the airport now.

[Kim Wu Jong]

[Ping: Smishing, voice phishing]

[Illegal gambling site]

It was a ledger.

[Released prisoners]

There's no wind, but the leaves are shaking.

Here's the taxi.

[Judicial Training Institute Alumni Association]

[No Parking]

I'm reporting an illegally parked car.

3402.

- Should I go this time, too? - You go.

I need to use the restroom...

I'm out of breath.

I need to quit smoking.

What's with this rat?

What the hell are you doing there?

I've been off drugs for about three weeks.

But I was craving it so much today.

After hearing your stories,

I feel like I can collect myself again.

What's this?

Hello. What were you addicted to?

Well, I... I was into butane gas...

Okay. Registered.

[32nd rehab meeting attendee list]

Well, where's the restroom...

Excuse me.

Nice to meet you. I'm Go Seong Hyeok.

I see.

What brings you here?

Well, this is a drug rehab meeting.

I know.

You don't look high to me.

No needle marks, either.

[Towing Notice]

[Towing Notice]

Taxi.

[Towaway Zone]

Taxi, taxi.

We finally meet.

You shouldn't say we "finally meet."

Say you got "caught."

I'm here to hang a lotus lantern.

Lotus lantern?

I want to know what kind of lantern I can hang with my capital.

I see.

Sergeant Kim.

I'll be careful from now on.

[Towed Vehicle Lot]

Yes. Drug and alcohol addict list

and the towing lot's documents are all here.

For the drug addicts, do a survey giveaway.

For alcoholics, send the DUI payment reminder text.

We'll get over 80% that way, right?

Didn't you say you'll only go to the towing lot?

I just came up with the idea.

I'll turn it into a premium database and send it out.

Okay.

Hello.

He doesn't look like a cop.

Yes.

Go Eun.

Seriously. He won't answer his phone...

Yes.

He won't answer his phone?

Okay. I'll try calling him.

Why won't he answer?

I followed Go inside since I couldn't get a hold of you.

Call me if you hear this message.

Why can't I reach anyone?

[Samheung Island - Welcome]

I'll meet with the last person. Wait here.

Is this what happens here when you want to hang a lotus lantern?

You trespassed. This is your second time.

You work for a taxi company.

There must be many temples nearby where they hang lotus lanterns.

I didn't think I'd be questioned for wanting to make a wish.

Hey, let me ask you candidly.

Why did you come here?

To hang a lotus lantern, I said.

Is it because I didn't mention the amount?

Sir, how much will be enough?

Isn't he over there?

Hey, do I look friendly because of my uniform?

I thought the police were friendly, walking staff for citizens.

Are you serious right now?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I want to go home.

Go Eun.

Go Eun?

Can you hear me?

If you're calling your team,

they won't answer.

If you haven't eaten, let's grab some rice and soup with me.

Let's eat.

I've never seen meat at a temple.

What did you mean, my team can't answer their phones?

I just told you the truth.

You might not be able to reach them in the future, either.

After we finish this meal,

I'll either bring them here or take you to them.

So, eat.

I've already been there. Why?

I don't want to. I won't go.

I don't want to.

Please forgive me.

I really want to go home.

I have one question.

Driver Kim... I mean, Mr. Kim Do Gi, please answer it for me.

The owner of a taxi company, who came to this island to fish.

His two employees followed me to the mainland.

And his bookkeeper followed Mr. Choi, apparently.

Don't you think you owe me an explanation?

There's no need for an explanation.

I told them to do everything.

But we need to be in sync to do anything.

Why did they have to get caught?

You told the monk that you want to hang a lotus lantern.

Do you even know what that means?

Don't say you wanted to make a wish.

Wu Jong told me.

That you can go big if you just have seed money.

Wu Jong?

Oh, Kim Wu Jong?

But that asshole only explained halfway and disappeared on me.

I can't tell who's in the business.

What did you do before?

Before I drove a taxi?

Yes.

It's a tear-jerking story.

I'll try holding it in.

Gosh. Where do I begin?

I tried hard to live diligently at first.

Oh, really?

I taught math to high school students.

Nice to meet you, everyone.

I was devoted to my students, but...

I got into dema*. (It means it's game over in the game of Go.)

Seung Tae, I got into dema.

But those bastards did dema*... (Also means marijuana)

They just won't listen to me. So, I quit.

A high school teacher? How unexpected.

I thought I'd just get an office job.

So, I got a job at a cloud storage company.

But the owner suddenly blew up.

I didn't get to work there that long, either.

Goodness. Too bad.

So, at the time, I thought the field might not be for me.

So, I completely changed fields.

What kind of field?

Get burner phones overseas

and supply them in Korea.

You supplied burner phones?

I thought it was lucrative,

but I happened to cross paths with a prosecutor.

I didn't get to do much of that, either.

Yes, Oppa. It's been a while.

Who ran the ping company at a Chinese restaurant in Gunsan?

Oh, Madam Lim?

You don't have to trust me.

Just eat this king crab for me.

Okay. Thank you.

I thought I was cursed because things didn't work out.

I even became a shaman.

So, did you make money doing that?

I couldn't because I lacked psychic power.

I worked as a security guard at a nightclub, too.

I have to be honest with you.

I've been to prison briefly, too.

Gosh.

Let me summarize it, then.

You were a high school teacher,

but you quit because your students mugged you.

You tried to sell jeotgal, but it didn't work out. So, you got an office job.

But the owner told you to kill a chicken, so you quit.

He blew up. The owner did.

You started selling burner phones,

but you fled because a prosecutor found out.

You became a shaman, but you quit because you lacked psychic power.

I almost cut off my feet walking on blades.

You became a security guard at a nightclub,

but the police raided the place.

Gosh. They said it was a drug den or something.

So now,

you learned how to drive and became a taxi driver.

How can a person have a life like that?

You basically sound like a scammer.

I said it was a tear-jerking story.

[He worked as a temp teacher. He worked for U-Data.]

[He supplied burner phones in Gunsan. He's been imprisoned.]

How interesting.

Now that I think about it, I had many ups and downs.

There's one thing you don't have, Mr. Kim.

Is there?

The biggest thing you're missing is a sense of ownership.

You kept trying to work for someone instead of seizing things for yourself.

That was your biggest mistake.

Goodness. You would've been living

a completely different life otherwise.

Goodness...

So I can finally seize things myself...

Help me out, please.

Sure.

Let's figure things out together.

And the people you brought.

I'll bring them to your lodging.

They can have a comfortable stay.

Is everyone okay?

Gosh, Mr. Kim.

Did you get hurt at all?

No. We're okay.

It's just that I almost died.

When I woke up, my hands and feet were tied.

I was inside some kind of bag.

Then, I felt a sting on my thigh, and I blacked out again.

I think they tried to toss us into the ocean.

Really?

I was here when I woke up.

If they tossed us into the ocean,

the current would've taken us up north.

Our bodies would've ended up in North Korea, then. Why?

So the police can't investigate.

You're right.

Neither the police nor the prosecution can go to North Korea.

Jin Eon, you got so smart.

- I didn't say anything. - Huh?

You just said it's so that they can't investigate.

Did I?

Who else, then?

It's not like there are six of us right now...

I said that.

Gosh. Seriously.

I'm sorry for scaring you.

Just call me Reporter Bong.

There's no CCTV here. You can relax.

People can see and hear you in other places.

How long have you been here?

I'm not sure. Has it been about six months?

Amazing.

Could I look at your camcorder?

Yes.

Two types of people come here.

You either end up joining their operation

or get put on a wooden boat.

You're the second group to survive.

Who was the first, then?

Me.

Thanks to this thing my senior gave me,

I barely managed to survive alone.

Here.

My senior said it's strange that online crimes

have more repeat offenders than other crimes.

So, I investigated online criminals

who got released from prison for a long time.

They all came to this island

and started to commit crimes overseas shortly after.

After investigating multiple times,

I found out that someone is aiding the crimes on this island.

So, my senior and I...

You came, pretending to be customers.

Yes.

They own countless crime operations all over the world.

But they've never been investigated before.

Because they understand the nature of crime investigation better than anyone.

I found this at the temple.

[Judicial Training Institute Alumni Association]

Does this mean one of them is a former prosecutor?

They know the usual scope of criminal investigation.

They formed this criminal organization, a step outside the boundary.

Former prosecutor?

I finally understand.

As soon as we started investigating,

the publication had been searched and audited.

And the owner was arrested.

That's why my senior told me to go back when we arrived.

It's okay. Please help.

I don't know much,

but you must've come here for a reason. Right?

I want to do something for my senior, Shin Gyeong Su, who was killed.

Please help me.

You're going through a lot, Cho Ryong.

Not at all, sir.

He was put on parole since he's been a model inmate.

Who? Yong Ho?

Yes. Jo Yong Ho.

Yes.

We're late. Sorry.

May you achieve enlightenment.

You came, Mr. Go.

Mr. Go, we'll have many experienced people next year.

I think we can open two more branches.

You're telling me to work harder, right?

The law enforcement needs a raise, too.

Okay. I'll work harder, then.

Right. What about the people from the taxi company?

Should I give them a consultation or not?

I have a bad feeling about them.

How about we just get rid of them all?

All of them?

Especially the taxi driver.

He can bury someone alive with a smile on his face.

And the older one pretends to be kind,

but his face reading says he'll eventually betray.

The background check didn't raise any red flags.

I said I have a bad feeling about them.

I'd like to just get rid of them all.

What do you think, Mr. Go?

I'd like you to listen to people more carefully, sir.

- Me? - Yes.

But I listen to you carefully, Mr. Go. What do you mean?

She just told us...

to open two more branches.

Sorry.

Here. I bought the new ones on the way here.

Stuff like this makes you thoughtful, Mr. Go.

No. Have it with the taxi driver tomorrow. Okay?

Make sure to talk about money first. Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Nothing is better than this when you're tired.

Namo Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva.

I wouldn't have been so rude if you had told me the truth.

They say the soil hardens after a rain.

Suspicion of one another could lead to friendship.

You're right.

Being suspicious means you're interested in the other person.

This is good.

Really?

Anyway, starting a business requires capital.

Is there money you've saved?

- I have two billion. - Two and a half billion?

No, two billion.

I heard the bigger number.

Two billion is quite a bit of money.

Do you mind if I ask how you saved that much?

I didn't save all that money.

I got myself a piggy bank.

Piggy bank?

Yes. The taxi company owner who came with me.

He borrowed two billion against the taxis and the company.

I suggested that rather than keeping the failing company,

we should take out a loan and play big.

And he took out the loan immediately.

You're so good at convincing people.

How about the other people?

You know.

They're the company's bookkeeper and mechanics.

To start a business, we'll need some people.

So, I lured a few of them.

How nice.

If so, show me the money.

To start the conversation,

I need to see the money, not hear about it.

Shit. Is this a joke?

Sir,

when you buy a house, do you show the seller money first?

Just think about it.

See the goods, hear about it, get a quote,

and then comes the money.

You're demanding money before we start.

I don't think that's right, sir.

Don't you agree?

Seriously.

To start a business in this field...

Listen to me carefully.

You need to provide money first. Otherwise,

you can't even start the conversation.

You must've thought I was a pushover.

You got me completely wrong.

I'll answer this briefly.

Do as I want or...

Forget about it. We'll just call it off.

Geez. The tea has a bitter aftertaste.

The thirsty one comes to the well.

Babe.

Are you enjoying some time off?

- Huh? - We're still talking.

I'm getting some fresh air.

By the way, did we bring the seed money?

No, not yet.

Why, Babe? Should I go and get it?

These bastards didn't bring money.

Not yet.

What if we pulled out the money and they ran with it?

I don't trust them. Why would I show them money?

It's not going to happen.

Of course. Of course.

I'll keep waiting, then.

Let me know when you need it.

Okay. I'll call you again. Enjoy your rest.

Okay.

Love you, Babe.

I love you more.

Hey, let's go somewhere with me.

Important guests are coming to the dock.

Are you asking me for a ride now?

Why?

You're a good driver.

Let's discuss the details on the way.

Let's.

Here they are. Here they are.

See? What did I tell you? It was this way.

Go Eun, hide.

Go in there?

My laptop.

Mr. Park, didn't you bring my main laptop?

Me?

- I'm sorry. - What?

I should've packed it before taking the motorcycle.

The towing lot had a processing error.

They're telling me to collect a refund.

All right. Score. I'll claim it now.

No.

Why did you hit me?

Don't just click any link.

Let me see.

[Scanning for a virus | Warning]

It was a phishing program.

If you clicked it, they would've gotten your personal info and passwords.

You've gone through this before. You can't just press anything.

I got a text from the drug rehab center, too.

They almost got me, too.

What's with that guy, Mr. Go?

This island...

I liked it ever since I first came here.

It's a good size, too.

If there's something you don't want others to see,

you can just throw it into the ocean, too.

Some clients are entering the island today.

Some are renewing the contract with me.

Some are signing for the first time.

Just like you, Mr. Kim.

You want me to hear a business presentation with those people?

I thought you should be introduced to each other so it won't be awkward.

You seem to have poor security.

Why?

Does this look sloppy?

If you do it like that and

someone who knows about the operation

says something, you'll all be in danger.

Not at all.

People report crimes...

for their own benefit.

Regular people might have empathy or a sense of justice,

but as you know, my clients...

don't have any of that.

Samheung Island is their only hope.

They know that better than anyone.

Hope?

For the returning clients who have just been released from prison,

we offer 50% off the start-up fee.

If we help them get back on their feet,

they have to come back here.

The clients we've had...

may bring in new clients, but they never report us.

Because that will obviously hurt them.

Even if they get caught by the police,

they will have to protect you in order to make a comeback later.

And desperately save up seed money.

It's way more effective than killing someone to tighten security.

Does that satisfy your curiosity?

Yes.

Thanks to you, I have no more questions.

That's good. Good.

If so, you should answer my questions, too.

We checked the places you've worked.

But there was one interesting thing in common.

Why did everyone either die

or disappear after you were involved?

Why are you the only one who survived?

Can you answer that question?

Or...

is it a question you can't answer?

What are you going to do?

Based on what you said,

it sounds like you wished I had died, too.

What will you do about my upset feelings?

Because the bastards who come here also made it alive,

you're letting them have fresh starts. No?

I barely managed to survive without dying.

And I came here to turn my life around.

What kind of shitty situation is this?

Wow. I guess...

I guess you could've taken it that way.

If you took it that way,

gosh, I apologize.

I...

decided to believe you.

I decided to have faith in you.

When I give those people a consultation later,

you should listen carefully.

We're finally on the same page.

Gosh. Long time no see, Mr. Go.

You came to greet me, even.

Congratulations on being released.

Congratulations, my foot.

I got into trouble for not listening to you.

I mentioned them on the phone, right? They were my cellmates.

Wow. The weather is fantastic today!

Weather, my foot. Say hello.

Welcome.

You look a lot younger in person, by the way.

Everyone scams online these days.

It's easy for young people to make money now.

They ran a burner account business in Paju. They're good.

Who's he, by the way?

They're signing the contract for the first time.

Do you know him, by chance?

His name is Kim Do Gi.

Your underling, Kim Wu Jong, told him about us.

Wu Jong?

He doesn't have many friends.

He doesn't get along with anyone.

He never mentioned someone like you.

But he mentioned you.

He said he visited you in prison, and you were still annoying.

Okay. Let's discuss business now. Let's go.

Let's go.

Hey, let's go.

Mr... Mr. Go!

M-Mr. Go!

M-Mr. Go!

Mr. Go!

[Taxi Driver 3]

Doesn't it sound like a normal business presentation?

Think about what business you want to run now.

How long have we been on this island?

Pack lightly when you move.

There's no other way. Just buy as much time as possible.

I'd like to resolve it before I start the business.

Take care of the taxi driver who came with me.

Can't you just kill them all?

Even if you run, you're still in Samheung Island.

Forge ahead!

? It's okay to roam around ?
