THE APARTMENT JOB

I happened to be there

in his final moments.

Why did you do it?

You should have been there for him

when he passed away.

But don't worry.

He didn't suffer when he passed.

You…

What did you do?

Huh?

Remember how I said

hangnails should be ripped off, even if you bleed?

He seemed to be a hangnail

in your life.

So I ripped it off for you.

Don't you feel relieved now?

I offer my deepest

condolences.

Well then…

Mr. Kim!

Don't make a scene and come here.

You're not some thug.

The chief mourner shouldn't step out.

You should keep your old boss company.

You're the hangnail in my life.

I'll rip you off myself,

whether I bleed or tear my own flesh as well.

I'll make sure

you feel the pain.

I'll look forward to it.

But be careful not to rip your whole nail off.

That pain

will last forever.

Move.

Where are you going?

Will you go and kill Lee Chung-won?

Yong-man just died.

He died because of me.

And you expect me to just stay here, bowing to him?

You're not going to seek revenge.

You're running away from guilt.

What?

Mr. Park.

You don't even have the guts to look at his photo.

You're a coward running away by using revenge as an excuse.

Isn't that right?

Going out there and dying

is less scary than staying here and crying,

isn't it?

What the hell do you know about how I feel?

I feel like my heart's going to burst!

What am I supposed to do?

What should I do, then?

Just cry, Mr. Park.

If you have the guts to die, just stay here and cry,

and face Lee Chung-won after that.

Then you'll be able to see what Lee Chung-won fears the most.

I…

Go tell your old boss

that you're grateful he treated you like his own son

and that you'll avenge him,

no matter what it takes.

SONS: PARK HAE-KANG, KIM GYEONG-NAM, JANG JE-GIL, KIM DOONG-HUI

THE APARTMENT JOB

Why are you drinking so much?

How many bottles have you had? You're all drunk.

Stop drinking!

I'm not giving you any more.

Just one more bottle, please.

Just one more.

This is the last one, okay?

Excuse me!

The table with the bald guy.

-One bottle of soju. -Okay.

Thank you for coming.

-Of course. -Of course, we should come.

-Of course. -Tell me if you need anything.

Big Guy, stop eating, will you?

I'm so sad, but I can't help feeling hungry.

Eat as much as you want.

You sure know how to eat. Oh, hello.

-Chew thoroughly. -Okay.

Mr. Park.

Do you know who's the scariest in a gambling den?

The one who has nothing to lose?

No.

It's someone who has too many reasons not to lose.

Look.

All of them.

They're the reasons you have to win.

So…

you have to win, no matter what it takes.

That's what you have to do.

One!

Is this a game of who talks first?

I told you to share ideas.

We should offer a sincere apology and promise it won't happen again--

Next.

We should disclose the construction process

to restore trust after the shoddy construction scandal--

Next.

We should promote our financial stability to keep shareholders from pulling out…

You know,

you directors are the people I envy the most.

You get regular paychecks even when you're so incompetent.

What a great life.

Listen carefully.

Cut the prices of the Oman New Town units in half.

Exceptional prices, premium materials,

unlimited free safety inspections.

Promote them aggressively,

and get Korea's top celebrities

to be the faces of the campaign.

But sir,

our budget…

Shouldn't we scrape together

every last penny to save our company, Director?

What about public opinion?

The hashtag "Taesan survivor" is still spreading on social media,

and the legacy media

is publishing a flood of negative stories about Taesan.

Social media is one thing,

but the press isn't cooperating at all.

So you mean

the press is the problem right now.

Please have mercy, sir!

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport is making a fuss.

They're even talking about

a full-scale inspection on True Value's shoddy construction.

It was more than just a few cracks in the wall.

The higher-ups are extremely unhappy

about this scandal breaking before the election.

We've got a long road ahead.

We'll all end up dead if we keep driving with a flat tire.

We have to replace it.

What?

I've picked out

your burial plots in Taegowon.

I already dug four nice little holes for you.

Pick the tree you want to grow there.

I thought you'd be busy, so I brought them to you myself.

Our Supreme Court Justice values integrity,

so how about a pine tree?

And for our Senior Secretary, who seems quite impatient,

a plum blossom so you'll learn perseverance.

All right.

Pick the tree you'd like.

What on earth are you doing?

Arrogant bastard.

What? "Arrogant"?

Are you deaf, or are you stupid?

I just picked out burial plots for you.

If you don't get your act together, I'm going to bury you!

The press is making quite a fuss.

You should fix this, don't you think?

Stop thinking about replacing the tire

and find a way to keep the car rolling.

If I go down…

you're all going down with me.

So please,

keep that in mind!

Remember that! All right?

This is

my final warning.

THE LATE PARK YONG-MAN

Our old boss

always used to come here

after a big event.

Even when we said we booked a hotel buffet,

he'd say, "Putting on belly fat will make your punches slower!"

But even as he said that,

he'd eat stuff like sweet and sour pork and braised pork belly.

I miss him smacking the back of my head.

Whenever I was working alone at night,

he'd say, "Hey, Je-gil, why are you always working on that laptop?"

"You'll ruin your eyes. Keep the lights on when you're working."

He used to tell me I had to keep my belly full to punch well

and that it's miserable living on an empty stomach.

I'm so full right now,

but I don't know why I feel so miserable.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RETIREMENT

Isn't this cape a bit much?

-It looks good. -It looks good.

We already booked the hotel and everything,

but you just had to come here.

Don't be silly.

Since when did we start getting fancy and going to hotels?

A retirement ceremony

should be done at a place like this, with black bean noodles.

Who holds a retirement ceremony at a Chinese restaurant?

Shut it.

I started this job

so I could eat as much black bean noodles as I wanted.

CHEERS TO YONG-MAN'S NEW BEGINNING!

And I actually did eat them to my heart's content

working in this field all these years.

Now that I'm retired,

I won't eat any black bean noodles again until I'm dead.

So congratulate me now.

I am free.

-Congratulations! -Congratulations!

Congratulations on your retirement

Congratulations on your retirement

Congratulations, dear Boss

Congratulations on your retirement

-Congratulations! -You punk.

Thank you.

Now that you're retired, can't you just live with me…

and be my father?

You're pretty drunk.

I mean it.

Park Hae-kang.

I didn't invest in you to be treated like your father.

You don't have to repay me.

I'm not saying that because I feel indebted.

I just want to call you my father.

Don't call me your father. It makes me cringe.

Let's not make things harder for each other by acting like a family.

Got that?

That's not fair.

You did everything for me,

yet you won't even let me call you my father.

Fine, I won't do it.

"Father"? Forget it.

I love you, son.

THE LATE PARK YONG-MAN

You're the type to save people even if you planned to do something bad.

I know you.

You had no idea.

I deceived you.

But…

I'll live my life

proving that you were right.

What should I do about this?

I kept it as leverage, as you told me to yesterday.

We've learned that stuff like this won't be enough.

Get rid of it. Park Yong-man is dead too.

But one thing I'm worried about

is that Park Hae-kang has nothing to lose now,

so we don't know what he might do.

And if he finds out that we covered up the Park Yong-man case…

Exactly.

Park Hae-kang and Lee Chung-won are both crazy.

So shouldn't we hide behind the more powerful one in this situation?

TAESAN CONSTRUCTION LEE CHUNG-WON

Yes, Mr. Lee. I was going to call you.

Pardon?

Congratulations.

You've just become a member of our One Club.

It's a reward for covering up what happened with Park Yong-man.

Thank you.

We're truly on the same side now.

Yes, sir.

I'll see you at the welcome ceremony.

We found Choi Yeong-jae, sir.

Really?

Where was he hiding?

We got the security footage around his house,

and it seems like he was struggling with the tenants' council president

and got caught by Park Hae-kang's men.

He's in the closed kindergarten now.

We'll get him immediately.

All right.

What tree would suit him?

Also,

things seem to be getting worse among the True Value residents.

Park Hae-kang aside,

the tenants' council president keeps stirring up public opinion.

That pageant woman again?

Should we try giving her some money?

Mr. Kim.

People like that are more obsessed

with climbing the social ladder than money.

You've been losing your touch these days.

I'll make the preparations.

TENANTS' COUNCIL PRESIDENT JANG SUK-JIN

OMAN NEW TOWN RESIDENTS' FORUM

TAESAN'S "HALF-PRICE BARGAIN"? HOW CAN YOU SLEEP ON A PILE OF TRASH?

Who is it?

Wow.

This place is completely different from when President Seo was here.

I'm Lee Chung-won.

I'm well aware.

I've been posting your face

on our online forum dozens of times a day.

Of course I know you.

So what brings you here?

A penthouse in Oman New Town.

I've set one aside just for you.

TRUE VALUE STATE OMAN

265-SQUARE-METER PENTHOUSE

It's 265 square meters?

Oh my. The view is amazing.

It's on a whole different level compared to our True Value.

Why don't you stop all this exhausting work now?

All you have to do is say that Taesan is providing proper compensation

to the residents.

But too bad.

I want something much more expensive than this.

More expensive?

The long-term repair reserve fund that you embezzled

and the money you siphoned off by stuffing trash in our walls

instead of proper materials.

With all that combined…

not even ten penthouses like this would be enough.

Don't you think?

I graduated top of my class from Ilhwa Women's University.

I can tell the difference between what's crap and what's good.

What?

I'm saying

you're crap.

So get lost, you thief.

Don't you dare try such cheap tricks.

Throw salt on him!

You're beautiful.

Gross.

Park Hae-kang really is a mystery.

How is everyone around him

equally crazy?

UNBEATABLE PRICES

TAESAN CONSTRUCTION WILL BE REBORN

SHOCKING PRICES FROM 10 YEARS AGO!

Gyeong-nam, stop the car.

Yes, Boss.

"Reborn"?

He's never even died before.

Does that jerk really think this will work?

Everyone in Korea just saw trash pouring out of the walls.

Well, money makes people blind.

And Lee Chung-won is well aware of that fact.

TAESAN CONSTRUCTION CONTROVERSY

PUBLIC APOLOGY AND NEXT COURSE OF ACTION

My fellow citizens, I am deeply sorry.

We betrayed the valuable trust you had

in our brand, Taesan.

As part of our efforts to take responsibility for this incident,

Taesan Construction will supply

affordable housing through a social contribution program

and restore the trust you've given us.

A key part of the administration's housing supply policy,

the first housing application in the fourth new town

recorded an average competition rate of 98 to 1.

Oman New Town drew strong interest with its affordable prices

and excellent location.

Among them, Taesan Construction's public housing supply

for social contribution

recorded an even higher competition rate of 957 to 1.

We will use this as an opportunity to make major changes

and ensure that such an incident never happens again.

We will make fundamental changes

and be reborn.

Despite the controversy over shoddy construction,

Taesan's housing program recorded the highest-ever application rate,

and Taesan Construction's stock closed at the daily limit today.

Reporter Kim Jin-su…

HIGH COMPETITION FOR OMAN NEW TOWN

They were all barking,

but they wag their tails the moment I throw them a bone.

Geez.

TRUE VALUE STATE OMAN

People are saying getting a Taesan apartment is like winning the lottery.

How can they react like that when they know what Taesan did?

The greed for winning the lottery

is stronger than their fear of shoddy construction.

What do we do now?

Mr. Kim.

This won't do.

Whether it's Taesan or Chung-won, we'll just wipe them out.

We're retired, but let's go with our old methods.

A bloody revenge for our old boss…

I'm in.

What's with you?

I'll get my weapons.

Boss.

I'm ready to risk my life for this.

Just give the word.

And I'm saying this just in case,

but don't tell us that you'll go and fight by yourself.

This time, we won't listen--

Why would I?

I have a family. Why would I fight alone?

Family?

Get up.

Guys. Lizard.

Ms. Kang Ha-ri, Kang Ha-jeong.

Please help me

so I can win this fight.

I need your help.

-He's changed. -Boss.

I'm a bit old,

but I'll help in any way I can.

I won't ask for money this time.

I'll give you a family discount.

I'll do anything I can to help too.

What should we do first, Boss?

We should start by taking what's precious to him.

Public opinion and the law aren't enough to defeat him.

We'll have to use our own method.

So what is it?

See? I told you they'd come.

Mr. Choi, if you don't listen to us, you'll really be sent to the afterlife.

-Je-gil, go. -Okay.

Stop dragging that!

What about me?

Was this really our best option?

We have another mouth to feed now. Our living expenses…

How long have you been the manager?

Do you want to lose this hand?

All my joints are aching

from staying trapped in the kindergarten.

How did you know this stuff is good for your joints?

This is supposed to be good for sore knees, right?

It's good for stiff shoulders too.

I had six pills for each meal, and it was really effective.

Geez. No wonder they disappeared so quickly.

Don't you know what they say about overusing medicine?

The recommended amount is two pills!

He doesn't know what that means.

Mr. Choi, have it with water.

Thanks, Ha-jeong.

Are you seriously accepting that?

Did you forget how you framed my sister and Mr. Park for embezzlement?

You little…

Well…

I only did as Mr. Lee ordered.

Taegowon isn't just a tree farm, is it?

Where's the money?

I don't know that either.

But…

whenever we took money out of the fund,

we delivered it to Taegowon.

Me and President Seo.

In any case, all the money embezzled from apartment complexes

must all be there somewhere.

Then our 17.8 billion should be there too.

That 17.8 billion.

Should we steal it back?

-Of course. -Sounds good.

Yes. Lee Chung-won values that more than his life.

Let's take these

and strip him bare.

Yes, Boss.

All right.

You lost Choi Yeong-jae again?

Mr. Kim.

No…

Eun-ho.

You weren't like this before.

I'm sorry, sir.

When we were swinging steel pipes at demolition sites,

you were full of ruthless determination.

We came

all the way here with that determination.

I'm sorry, sir.

There's no point in looking decent on the outside…

if this…

this…

and this…

have all lost that determination.

Park Hae-kang even took Choi Yeong-jae now.

I'm so jealous.

What will his next step be?

I'm so curious.

Look at this. It's practically a fortress, not a farm.

They've got infrared sensors set up everywhere,

and their guards aren't hired muscle. They're security consulting professionals.

So we can't face them head-on.

And it's not like we can fly in like drones.

Do we have to dig through?

-Then I'll go get shovels. -Hey.

He was just saying that. Do you take him for a fool?

If we can't go inside…

we can make them come out.

Is this the district office?

I'd like to report illegally dumped waste from Taegowon.

Illegal dumping!

Hello, I'm a reporter from Gongyeong Daily.

Are there any plans to investigate Taegowon?

There's a stench of rotten meat coming from Taegowon.

I'm sure there's some illegal butchering going on.

Shouldn't you be doing an emergency health inspection?

Is this the district office?

Yes, I'm hearing screaming every night coming from Taegowon.

They must be burying people in there.

I'm a former guard from there.

They have a dog farm in their basement.

They even hunt and eat protected animals.

If you don't believe me, go and…

Is this the inspection office?

I'd like to report the Environmental Department for neglecting their duties…

If you don't crack down on them now,

we'll consider it collusion and report it to the press.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT

Leachate? That's a tree farm, though.

A party with drugs? Then you should call the police…

What? Dereliction of duty?

An audit?

Why would you audit our… Hello?

Hey! What the hell is this fuss about Taegowon?

We're getting reports on illegal dumping,

illegal drug use, and that it's a drug den.

Even environmental groups received the reports.

If we don't send someone, the website will crash from complaints.

Hey, gather a team and go check Taegowon immediately!

Mr. Lee, do we have to trim these today?

The thing about trees

is that they have to be frightened for them to take a beautiful shape.

So it's the perfect time to shape them, just like you.

Was threatening us at the hotel not enough?

I'm just saying you won't have to get your hands dirty.

I just got a useful tool that can take care of all the hard work.

It's nice to see you, sirs.

I'm Kwak Ju-gwon.

Together with all of you, I'll properly prune this country.

Did you get the ten billion?

Or did you two make some kind of deal behind our backs?

Taesan has been in hot water lately because of the shoddy construction.

You're going to have to become our shield, Commissioner.

Don't worry.

My specialty is paving the road ahead

so you won't have to deal with any dust flying around.

You heard that, right?

Our new member is great at taking care of the cleanup.

So don't worry about a flat tire.

Commissioner Kwak is going to have the entire road blocked off.

Round of applause.

OFFICIAL DUTY

Hello.

What is this about?

-We're from the district office. -The district office?

They came by this morning.

We're from the department above them.

The department above them?

This is a serious matter.

With everything going on,

we have no choice but to conduct a thorough investigation.

What more are you trying to investigate?

What on earth are you doing in here?

What are you doing?

This isn't a tree farm, is it?

-We already know. -Calm down.

We're getting complaints!

The higher-ups are throwing a fit!

-I wish I could tell you-- -Enough!

We came here first because it'll get out of hand

if the police come too.

So please understand.

There are guests present.

Please return tomorrow morning.

This makes it seem more suspicious.

Mr. Jang, call the cops.

We'll come back with the police.

Why are they complicating things?

Wait!

It's fine. We'll come with the police.

Right.

Wait…

Please make it fast.

-Shall we? -Sure.

-Shall we? -Make it quick?

-Then check thoroughly. -Okay.

We have to report this to our chief, so take photos too. Let's go.

We're not some random weirdos.

You shouldn't interfere with government duties.

-Don't look back. -What is it?

They're following us.

Keep looking forward. Act natural.

You're all gathered here.

What kind of performance is this?

-Only authorized personnel… -Sure.

Supreme Court Justice, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs,

Prosecutor General, President of Gongyeong Daily,

and…

our new member, Commissioner Kwak.

After all that fuss, you finally got in.

The One Club sure is something.

You're Korea's most powerful figures,

and you're just sitting here trimming trees?

Mr. Lee, what are you doing? Kick him out.

Park Hae-kang.

Do you have a death wish?

Taegowon. Tae, meaning big. Go, meaning high.

For a place with such a lofty name,

what lies beneath is pretty rotten.

How dare you speak that way in front of us?

I have something to show you.

I took some photos on the way,

and they have such pretty nameplates for every tree.

They're called memorial trees.

This one's name is Kim Hong-hyeon.

Taesan's finance team leader

who supposedly fled overseas five years ago.

And this tree's name is Lee Jae-gu.

Assemblyman Lee Jae-gu, who went missing three years ago.

And this one is

Nam Hui-jae.

Oh, right. That's the newspaper company president.

Shut up.

And there was also a tree

with the name of our former residents' association president.

Should I try digging?

Or should I leave them be?

Shut up, you bastard.

You'd better hurry.

Things that stink should be cleaned quickly.

Wouldn't you agree?

I'll get going, then.

Have a good day.

Sir, it seems like the elders have noticed.

Don't worry.

Those geezers won't be able to say anything.

Park Hae-kang was throwing bait.

He'll be waiting for us to dig them up.

Then what should we do, sir?

We'll dig…

just as he wants.

We'll begin right away.

Use rented trucks,

and change all the license plates.

Move everything, and don't leave a speck of dirt behind.

But Taesan's warehouse will be too risky.

I know a place.

Somewhere no one can even imagine.

It's cramped. Stop pushing.

We don't know when it'll be over, so have at least two sandwiches.

You're on your fourth one.

Well, it's so good.

You're right about that.

They're coming out.

They're coming out.

Stay on your targets, everyone.

That's going in the opposite direction.

We're going that way.

Team 1, turning left.

My heart's about to burst.

It's way more nerve-racking than in the movies.

Whatever's in that truck is what we're after, right?

Yes. President Park made the call, so we should trust him.

I think we just got caught by a speed camera.

My makeup's all cakey, though. Should I touch up my lipstick?

Team 2, turning right.

Hold on tight.

Step on it. Let's crush them for good today.

This must be the real deal.

They must've noticed. They're speeding up.

Mr. Kim seems to be pretty anxious.

Stick closer to him.

He's gone.

-He left. -Let's go.

He's not coming out.

He's just leaving the truck out here?

Let's go.

This is too easy.

-Big Guy, keep an eye out. -Okay.

Open it.

Oops.

-What is this? -Boss!

What's going on?

What's going on?

It's a trap!

-Are you ready? -For what?

Run!

-Let's lead them to the rooftop! -Yes, Boss!

Hang in there. Don't let go.

Now! Run!

-Is your stomach okay? -No, it hurts.

Mr. Park! Get in!

Lizard!

-Park Hae-kang! -No!

Lizard.

Lizard.

-He got stabbed. -Where?

Where?

Gyeong-nam, get in!

-Je-gil! -We need an ambulance!

Open your eyes!

-Lizard! -Open your eyes!

Go!

You idiots! Go after them!

-Mr. Park… -You're okay.

Breathe. Stay with me.

Stay with me, Lizard.

We're going to the hospital. Hang in there.

They used a knife?

Am I bleeding a lot?

Wait. Hold on. Blood…

He's not bleeding.

Can't you even tell? Look carefully.

He really isn't bleeding.

Lizard!

I'm really thorough, you know.

The car is so fancy, the manual is thick as hell.

Geez! You scared us to death!

God, that scared me.

What the heck?

I'm a bit touched, though.

I thought handsome guys like you would be cold-blooded.

"Lizard! Open your eyes!"

"We're going to the hospital! Stay with me! Open your eyes!"

"Hang in there, Lizard!"

"Keep breathing!"

Hey, Lizard.

Do you want to visit the rooftop again?

I'm sorry… "Lizard!"

"Open your eyes! We're going to the hospital!"

-"Stay with me, Lizard!" -Geez.

"Lizard!"

We should go to the nearest rooftop, Boss.

Should we

head back now?

Let's head back to our apartment complex.

Not yet.

Why not?

No more trucks are coming out. We've been waiting for a long time.

Ms. Kang Ha-ri, you wait at the gate.

If the other trucks are fake,

the real one could come out last, looking the least suspicious.

If that's the case, follow that car.

That one! It's the real one Mr. Park was talking about!

Goodness.

Lee Chung-won!

You saw that sly fox, right?

Hey.

Isn't this the way to True Value?

All the other trucks were just bait.

The real one was going to True Value.

Oh my gosh.

He's going in.

He's entering the parking lot.

DO NOT ENTER

-Lower the window. -What is this?

Sir! Is there no one here?

-Sir! -I don't see anyone.

-Hang on. I can't see. -Darn it. We have to hurry.

-Call them. -Excuse me!

Anyone there?

Sir!

So you mean

the money went to one of the 9,800 households?

The odds are 1 in 9,800.

That's too broad.

The money came back to our apartment complex.

We'll find it even if we have to press 9,800 doorbells.

We don't have to look through 9,800 households.

We just have to find the one house

that Lee Chung-won chose among them.

What about Park Hae-kang?

It's fine.

Killing Park Hae-kang wasn't our goal today.

Our goal was to distract him.

And the car in the parking lot?

He won't be able to find it.

This is so good.

Nice.

Damn it.

I thought Lee Chung-won

was our incinerator

who cleaned up our messes without leaving a trace.

I did too.

But he didn't get rid of our waste.

He was collecting it and even putting name tags on it.

Let's get Hanmin to take over.

All right.

Sorry I'm late. Your call was quite sudden…

Commissioner.

-Hello. -Please sit.

Commissioner, I'm curious about something.

What do the police usually do if a car accident

causes a huge traffic jam?

Pardon?

We have the vehicles towed and clear the scene quickly.

That's right. You tow them.

Lee Chung-won is like a truck in a car accident right now.

The control system's down, and the body is huge,

so it's completely blocking our path.

What?

You can tow him away,

can't you?

I understand.

I'll follow protocol

and take care of it quietly.

Yes. Follow protocol.

-Je-gil. -Yes?

No, wait.

-You can see all the residents. -Yes.

Did you order something again?

You need to eat to stay strong.

I was feeling a bit down, so I made some pancakes.

Mr. Choi, I made your favorite kimchi pancakes.

-Thank you. -Hello, President Jang.

Oh my gosh.

Ms. Kang, how are you here?

Hello.

You were hiding her here and didn't tell me anything?

We weren't hiding her. We just thought she'd be the safest here.

Oh my.

I can't believe it.

All of you are gathered here.

I didn't even know you two were sisters.

Looking at you now, you do look alike.

But Ms. Kang, you seem to have lost so much weight.

Eat up.

Thank you.

But we have to find Lee Chung-won's vault among 9,800 houses.

Where could he have hidden it?

The community center?

Or some kind of storage room we don't know about?

Mr. Choi.

There are too many people visiting the community center,

and the cleaning ladies use the storage room several times a day.

-He wouldn't use that. -Hang on.

Then wouldn't he hide it in his own house?

The penthouse would be huge.

But he'll get busted as soon as a search warrant is issued.

Then Mr. Choi.

Yes, sir?

There's no need to get up.

You're making it look like I'm really rude.

Sorry, sir.

Then doesn't Lee Chung-won own any other units in True Value?

Even under a different name?

There aren't any on the list of owners.

Then what about under Mr. Kim's name?

There's no need.

How about units that were recently vacated?

Even if they're not,

units with unusually low electricity or water usage.

Can you check units like that?

I know this unit. Unit 105.

Their kids went to study abroad.

That's why they're not home.

And Building 307, Unit 1802.

Gosh, Mr. Choi. Remember?

They caused a huge scene after the man cheated on his wife.

The man left first,

but the woman doesn't come home these days.

So they're both having an affair. What about the kids?

Then there are three houses left.

If there are only three left,

can't we just break into them and check for ourselves?

Hey, they're owned units. You could get sued for breaking in.

Wait. There's one more unit.

The maintenance fee is being paid automatically,

but there hasn't been any water usage the past month.

Where is it?

Unit 2903. Seo Gang-won's house.

I got it in one go. Come on.

Hey, Gyeong-nam.

You actually got the passcode?

-Be quiet. -That's amazing.

There's no one here.

What is all that?

This is crazy!

What? Is this all cash?

All of this is cash?

This…

No way!

It's cash.

We found Lee Chung-won's vault.

I've never seen

so much cash before in my life.

He really does things on a different scale.

He sure is bold.

But this seems to be more than 17.8 billion.

Really?

He embezzled funds from other apartment complexes too.

He used it all as his personal fund.

Oh my gosh.

Then we…

What do we do

about all this money?

We'll take our 17.8 billion

and return the rest to the other apartment complexes.

What's with you?

We need something to stake our claim to this money.

We should report it first, right?

We need to take care of this legally.

No.

Lee Chung-won has connections in the police too. It won't work.

We might end up losing the money again.

Lee Chung-won's name isn't in the ledger my sister wrote.

He'll easily get away with this.

We'll lose if we go by the law.

Then we can use this situation to our advantage.

How?

Mr. Choi and Ms. Kang Ha-jeong can take the blame.

What?

Right. That's a good idea.

This is President Seo's house.

You can say

that the money you embezzled is here and that you felt guilty,

so you'd like to return all the money you pocketed.

Like a public confession?

You should brace yourself.

My gosh.

Lee Chung-won won't be able to claim that it's his.

If he does, he'll become an embezzler

and have to explain President Seo's disappearance.

Bravo.

That's such a good idea.

You're so smart.

Let's reveal the 17.8 billion to the residents first.

We'll make the announcement

that President Park got our reserve fund back.

-What do you think? -That's good.

We'll make all 9,800 households our witnesses.

I'm going to turn myself in after we reveal the money tomorrow,

as I promised.

Don't be too scared.

Thank you for everything so far.

For protecting me.

Once you're released,

I'll be waiting with a cake,

so hurry back.

Cake? Not tofu?

Well, I…

I didn't trust women after what happened with my ex-wife.

But you're like an angel.

I learned that there are kind people like you too.

I heard that you want to become a patissier.

So I thought you'd like it if I got a cake for you instead.

Well, I was just trying to flirt.

I like mango cakes.

Mango…

"Hands in the air. I'll shoot if you move."

But then the woman raised her head,

and her eyes weren't human.

Isn't that scary?

Hey.

What's wrong, Big Guy?

Big Guy.

I'm cold!

What's with you?

Drink.

You still have to face the consequences.

But you've been very cooperative,

so we'll submit petitions for leniency

on your behalf.

Thank you…

so much.

Drink up.

Get some sleep.

You look like your eyes are about to pop out.

I'm not sleepy.

You need your strength for tomorrow.

Want to lean on my shoulder?

Here.

Really?

Gosh.

You can end your date and head inside now. I'll keep watch.

-It's not like that! -We weren't!

Why are you yelling?

I didn't see anything.

We didn't do anything.

You were all…

What?

What's wrong with you?

Everything will be over tomorrow, right?

I'm so excited to see the look on Lee Chung-won's face.

We have to make sure he'll never be able to smile again.

Never.

And after everything's wrapped up tomorrow,

you should get back to studying for the bar exam.

I'll help you in your sister's place.

We're family.

Why?

Why would you go that far?

Can't you…

just think of me as Daddy-Long-Legs?

What?

No way.

What?

That line was a bit cringe, you know.

What do you mean?

Daddy-Long-Legs is a good thing.

-It's like a benefactor. -Mr. Park.

Don't you know the ending of Daddy-Long-Legs?

Judy Abbott ends up marrying that Daddy-Long-Legs.

They get married?

Are you saying you'll make me into Judy Abbott and try something funny?

You're a scary man.

I…

That's not what I meant.

Judy actually… Geez.

This is bad, Ms. Kang!

WE FOUND THE LOST 17.8 BILLION!

I didn't know money was so heavy.

Great job!

All right, President Park. You should say something.

We couldn't have found it without President Park.

He's amazing.

Right.

I knew President Park would be able to resolve this elegantly.

Then we all helped find the reserve fund, didn't we?

-Of course! -We did it together.

Everyone, I'm at the True Value site.

Do you see those apple boxes?

They're actually filled with cash. The real fund.

Hello. I'm President Park Hae-kang.

The reason why I asked you all to gather here today

is that our facility manager and accounting manager

decided to reveal the location of the lost fund,

and we've brought it all back.

What's more, I wanted you all to see the money in person

to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.

Goodness.

I'd like you to check our reserve fund with your own eyes

and keep showing your interest in True Value's matters

so this will never happen again.

We'd like for every one of you to be watchdogs of the community.

-Watchdogs! -Watchdogs!

-Watchdogs! -Watchdogs!

-Watchdogs! -Hey, come down.

All right, everyone.

I will now show you True Value's reserve fund

that we've gotten back with your sacrifice and cooperation.

All right. Here is your reserve…

-Hurry up! -What's he doing?

Come on!

-What's he doing? -What is it?

What is it?

Stop messing around and show us.

-What? -What is that?

What's going on?

LIZARD

Mr. Park, did you forget that I'm the Lizard?

Cutting off a tail is nothing to me.

I'll take the money.

Open the other boxes.

Open the one next to it!

That one too?

What? What's going on?

What's this?

What is all this?

I'm sure the money was in here.

We got robbed again?

Lizard!
