BUSAN

Go ahead.

We’re running behind. Let’s get moving.

Get your man to put on his hard hat.

Site A, foreman Han Seo-joon. The manager is asking for you.

Copy. Heading out!

Seo-joon, I heard you’re buying a home next year.

How did you know? Thank you.

Only Mi-yeon and I know about it.

It’s an apartment out of the city.

Giving up being a cop has some advantages.

Your wife worked hard too. Congratulations.

It’s all thanks to you.

You'll be the site director starting next month.

Permanent contract.

Full insurance coverage, 20% salary hike.

And you'll go to Seoul after this. How about it?

What’s the hold up? Just say yes.

I’m overwhelmed.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

-Just stay the course. -Of course.

Here’s your order. Have a great meal!

-Hey, baby. -Mi-yeon, I love you.

Break time?

-I said, "I love you." -Yeah, okay.

Had lunch yet?

I did. I miss your food so much.

Whatever. You never eat any of my side dishes.

-No, it’s that anchovy… -Forget it.

Be like that and I’ll never cook for you.

Sorry, it won’t happen again. It’s so cold here.

-Honey, let’s go on a trip. -All of a sudden?

Did something good happen?

Am I right?

We never went on our honeymoon and you’ve been working so hard.

-I wanted to give you a chance to rest. -Forget it.

My orders are backed up. I’ll call you later.

Mi-yeon, the manager-- Hello?

Your order’s up. This one has soup.

I knew this would happen.

You there!

Please, put on the hard hat.

-We’re out of wires! -I see.

-I’ll go fetch some. Keep working on this! -I understand!

SMALL BUSINESS PUBLIC UTILITY PROGRAM

-He’s about to fall! -He’s about to fall!

This is bad.

One moment!

-Help! -Don’t move! Hold still!

-What do we do? -Wait.

Stay here.

Hey! What are you doing?

It’s okay. Look at me.

Slowly.

Easy.

-Call the boss and get the ambulance. -Okay! Okay!

NO SIGNAL

Why the hell isn’t my phone working?

Give me your hand!

It’s okay.

Just a bit more.

Don’t move!

Mrs. Kang Mi-yeon? Are you Han Seo-joon’s wife?

I’m Attorney Kim Hyun-su, Seo-joon’s friend.

I see.

There was an accident at his construction site.

-He actually called me first. -Is he hurt?

It’s not that. A laborer died on the site and he’s liable for it.

He should be at the police station right now.

-And he’s not reachable. -Wait a minute…

Excuse me, Mr. Kim, let me look into this first.

DETECTIVE HAN

BUSAN CONSTRUCTION SITE

Hello, there.

I’m the wife of Han Seo-joon, who works there.

What? There’s been an accident.

A man died and the foreman went to the police station.

-Can you call back later? -Hello? Hello?

I have to close the shop. I’m so sorry!

-Hello? -Is this Han Seo-joon’s wife?

-Yes, may I ask who is this? -This is the Central Busan Police.

Mr. Han was arrested for an incident at his construction site.

I’m calling to inform his emergency contact.

If you wish to visit him, you can come to the station.

He’s in the Criminal Department.

-Hello? -Ma’am, did the police call you?

Yes.

Listen carefully.

If this goes to the court for manslaughter, he’ll lose.

But if you settle this now, it’ll have a different outcome.

-Settle? -Yes.

My banking information is listed on my law firm's website.

Send me the settlement before the case is filed.

I’ll try to hold back on his side, so get me that settlement ASAP.

I’ll call you back once it’s settled, please be patient.

SEND

Transfer completed. Dividing it into seven accounts.

Why couldn’t you be more careful?

I almost had a heart attack.

Okay, deposit completed. Get ready.

Take one each.

Get going, hurry!

Phone’s working again.

11 MISSED CALLS

Why did she call so many times?

DETECTIVE HAN

Hello?

Why did you call so many times? I couldn’t get to the phone.

-Baby, where are you? -The site.

-There was no signal until now. -What?

You’re not at the police…

Do you have a friend named Kim Hyun-su?

-He said he’s a lawyer. -Kim Hyun-su?

Who is he? I don’t know him.

Mi-yeon? Hello?

May I help you?

Voice phishing. I got scammed!

WITHDRAW

-Please, hurry! -Ma’am?

Please, come over here.

-May I get your ID? -My ID?

One moment please.

Please, hurry.

Hello, I need to check on an account. Yes.

It’s all been withdrawn.

-Ma’am? -Are you okay?

How much have you lost?

Seventy million won.

Oh, my, so much money with just one phone call.

Hello?

Hello?

This is Attorney Kim Hyun-su.

I’m so sorry! Please, return my money!

Return your money? Come get it then.

That money is all my life savings. I’m begging you!

Without that money, I’m as good as dead!

If your life is worth 70,000 dollars, then you deserve to die.

I’ll spend it well.

You’ve called the Intellectual Crime Unit…

This is the credit card-related crime investigation team from…

Was your personal information…

ON THE LINE

GANGSEO HOSPITAL

Are you Mrs. Kang Mi-yeon’s guardian?

Intracranial pressure is unstable, but the worst is over.

We’ll continue to monitor her.

-Hello? -Is your wife okay?

Yes, so far.

Seo-joon, I got conned like an idiot.

I lost three million dollars which were meant for our men.

What?

It’s all my damn fault.

I’m really sorry, Seo-joon.

The person you are calling is unavailable--

Where is he?

You can’t go in there!

-No! -Hold on.

Send him back!

Shit!

After all that work, I’m gonna end up on the street.

Fifty people are now homeless! Fifty!

At least the dead can rest easily!

You drank too much, you should head home--

Goddamn you all!

Give me back my money.

Give me back my money!

Where’s my money?

Let go!

It ain’t over even if you’re dead! That money was for my daughter’s surgery!

I want it back! Give it back, goddammit!

Give it back!

Snap out of it, asshole!

Everyone here is in the same boat!

Detective Han, buddy.

You said you were a cop, right?

Why can’t you go get them? Arrest those scammers

and save my daughter.

That money was for her surgery.

Please, save us all.

-They were organized. -What?

To pull a scam of this size, they’d have done a lot of preparation.

Does anything ring a bell?

We actually got a call from an insurance company.

It’s a family accident insurance for half the price.

Is there such a thing?

My employees would love that.

He believed that

and handed over everyone’s personal information.

When we called them later…

The insurance company never made that call.

Cell signal died at the worst time.

Our site was the only one down, right?

I think so.

So, they got to us before the accident…

Do you have a list?

I’ve never seen him before. He’s not on the list either.

Who is he?

Maybe he has something to do with the cell signal going down.

Please, put on the hard hat.

I couldn’t make out his face, just his tattoo.

How do we find him?

I don’t know.

Yeah, that’s my work.

Yo, he’s got a travel agency in Gwanganri, right?

Yeah.

Passport. Passport.

-Is the count correct? -Yes.

Look at these sad mofos.

Get them in their uniforms.

Change your clothes. Take it all off.

Change your clothes.

Hurry, come on!

What’s wrong?

I did get some bad vibes from him though.

He must’ve caused a stink. Right?

Euljiro!

Sillim!

Gangnam!

Bucheon!

Bucheon.

Pyeongtaek.

-Sillim. -It’s freezing, start moving.

Uijeongbu.

DETECTIVE IN CHARGE IS ICD CAPT. LEE GYU-HO

Move out!

Moving out from Busan.

I’m coming with two boxes of bank books and 38 heads.

It’ll probably take about two full days to get it all done.

I got a whole bunch of foreigners on this gig.

You can reuse them two to three times.

So, your boss won’t be a hard ass--

I told you to wear a hard hat!

Listen carefully.

If this goes to the court for manslaughter, he’ll lose.

-but if you… -Who is this?

-I don’t know, shit face. -Yeah?

-Someone gave you an order. -I don’t know!

I’m just a temp!

I’ll make you remember.

Wait! Wait!

Mr. Park from Daelim district.

That’s all I know.

Tell him yourself.

-Where’s your captain? -Hold on, man.

You deposited into a fake bank account which is used to launder money.

After the money is deposited,

they use local currency exchange to illegally transport money to China--

What do you mean? Currency exchange for what?

For example, a Korean exchange shop receives 100,000 dollars in Won,

then it tells a Chinese exchange to give 100,000 dollars in Yuan.

And that shop pays out in cash

and it’s delivered to the Chinese call center.

Since it’s not a bank transfer, there is no record.

They can launder it two or three times.

This is all too complicated, but where is our money?

Are you messing with us?

Can’t you see how desperate are we?

-I understand how you feel. -What will we do now?

Trust us to be patient, man.

-Who is he? -He’s one of the Busan scam victims.

-He’s an ex-cop-- -Forget it, I came by with a tip.

The man in charge in Korea is called, “Mr. Park” from Daelim.

We’re currently investigating him.

I understand what you’re going through.

-So, if you trust us-- -Shouldn’t you move on it right away?

People lose over 640 million dollars to voice phishing every year.

They’re all satellite orgs and the real deal’s in China.

-We will cooperate with the local police-- -You’re biding time to get the real deal,

while the victims are getting slaughtered.

-Sir-- -Boss!

If your family got scammed, would you stall?

I told you the real deal’s in China. We should go after the head!

I don’t give a shit!

Hold on, man!

-Are Korean cops this powerless? -Show him out.

All the victims will end up dead in no time!

Boss!

-That’s enough! -Come on!

Mr. Gong, is this a surprise event?

You really buried me well. I can’t move at all.

I can hear you well from there. What? Don’t come! Don’t come!

Great job burying me. Good technique.

Kkangchil, you’re so cute.

You did your hair? You look like a celeb.

Isn’t it great?

I hired you to make a poker site,

then you make a secret bank account attached to it?

What’s this? Holy crap!

I was gonna borrow some money and pay back in full.

It’s all right.

-Hey, Joseph! -Yes, boss!

-It’s Mary’s feeding time! -Yes, boss!

-Mary? -Yeah, Mary.

Mary?

What’s that? No! Don’t! Boys, who’s that?

I don’t like it! Don’t do that!

What’s with you? I’m a girl, don’t do that!

Duk-pal! Sweetie, don’t! You son of a bitch!

Boys, who’s that?

What the hell?

-Move! -Move!

Stop!

-It’s been a while. -Detective Han?

Dammit.

Detective?

I’m working here!

Let’s check out.

What? Voice phishing?

Jesus!

-Help me out. -How?

Who made the call? And from where?

I need all the details by tomorrow.

Tomorrow? I need a day off! I work five days a week!

-Voice phishing’s a dead end nowadays. -I just need the money back.

Your 70,000 dollars down payment?

Three million dollars for my colleagues. You can keep the rest.

So…

-your top question? -Origin of the call.

It was routed through Thailand, Cambodia, and likely from Northeast China.

Can’t pinpoint the location.

Even if I analyze the spyware IP on the cell phone,

the security is too tight to get close.

And this is the spyware.

They disguise it as an ad and once you download it,

they get your number, texts, call logs and personal data.

It’s a nasty bug that takes everything on your phone.

Their number?

It’s fake, of course.

This is the app they use to spoof their number.

You put in the fake number here and the app disguises it.

There are so many places that use spoofing devices.

They hide in residential areas so you can’t find them.

Lastly, listen to this.

I amplified the background noise.

Did you hear it? It’s a large studio.

That means it’s a huge organization.

In conclusion,

the call center location is unknown.

DETECTIVE JUNG: PARK’S ADDRESS, YOUNGDEUNGPO, DAELIM 3…

We’re infiltrating a Chinese call center, so stay alert.

-No mistakes today, people. -Yes, sir.

Broker’s on site, approaching Park.

How’s the wiretap status?

All good, sir.

Aren’t they cops?

-We should leave this to them and-- -Wait, wait, wait.

What will you do?

Will you go inside and make them return the money?

Stand by here.

-May I help you? -I’m here to see Mr. Park.

-Who? -Don’t know his full name.

Just Mr. Park.

Mister, just walk away.

You got a late package from Busan, right?

There’s been a delivery incident, go tell him that.

Missy, there’s no time.

The Busan delivery incident. Yeah.

-Check the password. -We can go to Mapo, Jongno, Gangdong.

-Stop, wait here. -Someone new on site.

We got an unknown on site.

-Unable to ID. -Find out at once, stand by.

A list of Happy Cash loan applicants,

a list of Daehyang Department Store members,

and a list of Bears Golf Club members.

This is 30,000 dollars, 35,000 dollars and 40,000 dollars.

Loans are stale, and memberships get low success rates.

Got anything else?

Pre-sale for Nuri apartment in Gyeonggi began.

-Are you interested? -Can it be done now?

Yes, it’s ready. Personal data for 2,000 stage three applicants.

A business mogul once said,

“The world is vast and has a shit ton of personal data.”

You’re a very busy man. I won’t bother you any further.

How did you know about the delivery mishap?

More than that, you’re in danger.

That gum-chewing bastard,

he’s a cop.

What is it?

Hey!

Goddammit!

Captain, I think we’re exposed!

Shit! Move in immediately!

Cops!

Get ready to move out, gather personal data separately.

-Move out! -Get everything!

Gather bank books and seals!

Pack up everything!

Move in, go!

Flank units move in, others stand by as per protocol!

Who are you?

Pardon?

Who the hell are you?

I was told Mr. Park in Daelim could get me a big job.

Everyone, freeze!

Get Park! Get him!

What the…

Shit, we’re so screwed.

Upstairs! Go!

Catch Park! Get him!

Get away!

You son of a bitch!

Get that bastard!

Stop right there!

Is there anyone down there?

Get that bastard! You bastard!

And action.

Get in!

Stop them!

I owe you one today. Are you looking for work?

Loan? Currency exchange?

I heard China pays a ton.

-I want to work over there. -It’ll be tough over there.

Many didn’t even return.

I won’t last long here anyway.

Look for Director Cheon in Shenyang.

If you flash my card, they’ll let you meet him.

He moves every few months, so he might not be there.

-This is the police. -I’d like to report a tip.

Go ahead, please.

31D3844, silver Mercedes.

It’s a scam suspect’s vehicle.

What happened? You told me to stand by.

Did you bring it?

You’re now Kang Min-ho, born in 1982 in Incheon.

He’s my idiot friend so it’s all legit.

A burner and your backstory.

Three months of credit card usage and bank activities.

They’ll grill you for it so memorize everything.

But do you have to risk your life for this?

That’s why…

I have to get that money back.

What if there’s no money at the call center?

I’ll rob the exchange then.

If something happens, call me. I’ll stand by.

I’ll call if I’m staring death in the face.

Thank you.

What will you do when you meet Kim Hyun-su?

I’ll kill him.

He was a legendary narco.

The arrest of the meth gang in 2012 and coke lab in 2015

were all Han Seo-joon’s work.

He did good work.

But he got hold of a local distribution network,

which included a politician’s son.

Wait a minute…

Is he trying to use Park to weasel into the call center?

Find out Han’s whereabouts and look for his last point of contact.

Right away, sir.

SHENYANG, CHINA

Wait at the inn at the end of that alley.

I’m Attorney Kim Hyun-su, Seo-joon’s friend.

There was an accident at his construction site.

-He actually called me first. -Is he hurt?

It’s not that, a laborer died on the site

and he’s liable for it.

Who are you? Why are you looking for Cheon?

I’m a Korean.

Who are you? Why’re you looking for me?

I was introduced by Park. Give him a call.

Check it out.

We did a job in Incheon. We got all the personal data.

Born in 1982, from Bupyeong district. Kang Min-ho.

Bank account number.

Daesin Bank, 145-043692-00108.

Your debt amount.

I borrowed 30,000 dollars, six months ago.

You spent 670 dollars on January 31st.

What did you buy?

One second!

I went to a bar.

It wasn’t a purchase.

He’s right.

Strip him.

Come over here, hurry up.

Move! Move!

Here are the rules.

Don’t try to figure out our location.

Absolutely no contact with the outside world.

If you’re hiding a cell phone, you’ll pay with your wrists.

This shows your contract period and your work hours, nothing to it.

Sign here and thumbprint it.

We work during Korean banking hours, starts at eight, ends at three.

Let’s get to work for money.

Listen up! Is everyone here?

Yes!

I say this every day,

what’s the most important thing when phishing our clients?

Cut off communication!

Right. Cut off communication.

Success and failure are depended on that.

Say it with me.

Money! Money! Let’s do it!

START OPERATION

You sit here. You go over there.

Follow me.

Hey, this is a new recruit, educate him properly.

It’s the 2020-A-1005 case.

One-hundred and twenty identities were illegally used, so cooperate

with the investigation.

Yes. Cyber Crimes Unit will call you soon.

-This bastard’s scared. -Your acting’s improved.

Here comes Cyber Crimes Unit.

Hello?

Did you get a call from the prosecution investigator?

THREATEN AS AN ACCOMPLICE!

Your account is being used as their routing account!

If you don’t take any action, you’ll be an accomplice!

Call Financial Supervisory Service and ask for Shim Ju-won.

Whoever made the phone hijacking app should be awarded.

All their calls are redirected to us.

This punk is overly suspicious.

NK HANSUNG BANK

You called the bank first, huh?

-Where’s the bank script? -Where is it?

Yo, newbie!

-Script, script! -Give me that!

-That one! -Hurry!

Hello, this is NK Hansung Bank.

I need to ask you something.

I’ve been informed that my identity is stolen.

There is identity theft in progress.

Block the account? I see.

I’m sorry, sir, blocking it can’t be done immediately.

It’ll take about two-hours.

Blocking the account will take about an hour.

So what do I have to do?

For an immediate response, call the Financial Supervisory.

I understand.

FINANCIAL SUPERVISORY

Almost there.

-FSS is the last step. -Right.

Who’s doing that?

I was supposed to be it, but I did the bank.

Bank’s done, prosecution’s done. Should I do it?

-He’ll clue in. -Then it’s this bastard.

Why aren’t you answering, asshole!

Hello? Is this Financial Supervisory?

Could I speak to Shim Ju-won?

Good afternoon.

FSS Investigation Unit 2, Shim Ju-won speaking.

To prevent further damages, transfer your funds to our secure account.

I’ll give you the account number.

KGS 145.

-Hello? -What’s up?

-What’s going on? -The call was dropped from our end.

ERROR!

Floor three, check phone status.

What are you doing?

Why was the call dropped?

The cord’s unhooked again.

Everything’s being monitored.

One false move and you’re dead.

Back to work.

-Something happened? -The call dropped.

A big round of applause!

He pulled in a total of 300,000 dollars!

Very good, get back.

He made 300,000 dollars in six months?

This job is about one big score.

-Do you get paid in cash? -Would they keep a pile of cash here?

-It’s transferred to our account. -From the exchange shop.

Where’s the exchange?

How’d we know? That’s their top secret.

If you’re curious, go to the fourth floor.

Cheon will cut off your tongue, asshole.

So, Cheon’s the head here?

He’s just the enforcer, the real head is Hwang.

-Who’s that? -What’s with your tone, asshole?

Guys, let’s make our 300,000 dollars.

All done, fat ass?

Sir, it was an anonymous tip.

He reported Park’s vehicle and flash drives with personal data.

Park left all these behind?

These must’ve cost thousands.

Each illegal line costs about 3,000 dollars.

They’re going all out for money.

It’s that bastard Han.

-He’s leaving breadcrumbs. -Pardon?

He wants us to follow.

Han Seo-joon?

That moron got his ass whipped again.

He was caught escaping, he’s lucky to be alive.

He got a 100,000 dollars debt from a voice phishing scam.

He’s a major moron.

What’s with the blue wristband?

Development team. Know how to write scripts?

You gotta be smart to get in.

Stop dreaming and start making calls, asshole.

There is one way to get accepted.

Get noticed by Mr. Gwak.

Die trying then.

Stupid shit.

You okay?

What the hell are you doing?

Piss the fuck off.

Mr. Gwak is coming down.

Yes, yes. If you transfer your principal 6,000 dollars,

you will be switched to a low interest loan.

Due to so many people suffering from high interest loans,

the government has introduced a two-month special program.

Did my employee explain everything to you yesterday?

There are a lot of scammers out there.

Yes, I’m Kim Hyun-su, head of Finance Unit one.

Sir, is the account KC Seoul Bank ending in 143, not 148?

I’m Attorney Kim Hyun-su, Seo-joon’s friend.

That’s strange.

Why did my employee give you wrong info?

Do you remember his name?

Jung Nam-ki from Finance Unit three?

Let’s see. I’m at Unit two, not there.

I found Jung Nam-ki.

The one who gave you the wrong account info.

Thank you.

I’m sorry! Please, forgive me!

Nam-ki.

Be honest now.

How much did you steal?

I-- About 6,000 dollars, sir!

Wrong.

That’s the truth! I didn’t steal anymore!

You have to mention every last cent.

Very accurately, 6,315.30 dollars.

You’re a greedy bastard.

You know what?

If your greed is in inflation, your life’s in a financial crisis.

You’re given chances and freedom to do anything.

Everyone here is making money honestly,

while others lie and steal, exploiting capitalism!

I won’t ever do it again, I’ll repent!

-Go to the church. Repent! -Mr. Gwak.

Leave that to us.

You’re here.

All right, go ahead.

Hold him.

No!

If the security is up to snuff, would I get involved?

If someone is stealing, he’s taking from my pocket.

Can you do your job?

Resume calls!

All right! Get back to work!

That felt good.

What’s up?

Yo, fat ass.

What does Gwak do exactly?

The head of development, the ace in this industry.

A man of myth who made this company 90 million in a year.

Supposedly, a legal advisor for a big fund company.

I heard he was a VP of a big corporation.

Shafted by his office, his life in ruins,

smart guys are on another level.

-Does he outrank Cheon? -Ranks are for humans.

Devils don’t care about that shit, moron.

-All-in with my last bonus. -Nice, I’m all-in too.

The 5,000 dollars Busan construction site job commission.

I’ll get it in two days via, so it’s a sure thing.

I fold.

Reveal it, I got ace two pairs.

Shit…

The Busan job commission is all mine, right?

Fine.

I’ll give it to you when I get it, I can’t believe this.

We found the Chinese spoofing center.

So many…

With all these machines at work, how could people not get fooled?

We could halve the scams by stopping spoofing.

Right, Mr. Park?

Do you know what that half is worth?

You likely don’t know who Hwang is or where the call center is.

Am I right?

Check this out.

Remember him? He used you and went off somewhere.

Someone said once,

“Fuck your fucking mom.”

-Get to it. -Prick.

Goddamn bitch, are you kidding me?

-Captain. -Yeah?

I got it with this spoofing device.

Shenyang in Northeast China.

-I can’t get any closer. -Keep searching.

And we found Han’s last point of contact.

Director Cheon.

We got a spoofing malfunction, it keeps going out with a 070 prefix.

Is it a circuit problem?

It’s not us, spoofing in Korea isn’t working at all.

-Halt all calls. -Halt calls.

Stop all calls! Thirty minutes break.

HALT CALLS

Where is the spoofing center?

Youngdeungpo Center seven, led by Park at Daelim.

Development team? Get noticed by Mr. Gwak.

No good, it doesn’t feel real.

Dig into health insurance then.

Rates went up by 3.2% this year.

And long-term care insurance by 10.2%.

Do some research, buddy. The public’s pissed right now.

If we mention a refund, they could bite.

They’ll bite right away, get on that.

Ms. Bae, got an outline of the foreign student concept?

Yes.

Settlement needed for an incident caused by their child abroad.

-Country is the Philippines? -Yes.

-Market research? -All done.

Crime rate for Korean students in the Philippines rose by 12%.

Okay, fact check is the basis of a convincing lie.

Sure.

Then the settlement is for hospital bills?

No, we’re going after the family.

To bring out the protective instinct, they gotta feel the terror.

Go with, “If it’s not settled, he could be arrested.”

Voice phishing is all about empathy.

It’s not about exploiting their ignorance and stupidity.

It’s about exploiting their hope and fear.

That’s what turns a hundred-thousand-dollar scam

into a million-dollar one.

Got that?

Yes, sir!

Have all those ideas outlined on my desk by tomorrow.

I understand.

Cleaning’s done on the third floor, let’s continue upstairs.

-You son of a bitch! -What’s going on?

Did he go insane?

-Son of a bitch! -What are you doing?

-Check his pocket! -Hey, check that fucker’s pocket.

You were seriously stealing?

I got fed up of seeing him exploiting capitalism.

I want to join your team and jack up my bonus.

He’s nuts.

Easy, let him go. He felt so genuine.

Well, well.

You guys have to learn his energy!

Who are you?

I've dealt with drugs, people. I’ve done everything.

Give me a chance

and I’ll use my experience to write legit scripts.

Okay. Wanna start by cleaning our trash?

Thank you. I’ll do my best.

Ninety-seven copies of day shift scripts. Personal data database A and B.

Make 260 copies in total. You may begin.

Make absolutely sure there’s nothing missing.

Get it together.

Clean it up.

I’m not doing this for you.

Thank you.

Is that the way to the fourth floor?

Security is tight there.

Yes, only Director Cheon can go up there.

All money related stuff takes place there.

Like, what?

Personal data, scripts, currency exchange stuff.

I heard total value is over ten million dollars.

Like, which exchange shop is paying out?

I don’t really know.

Can we be friends?

You’ll be late.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

I heard the spoofing center got raided.

We got a new spot. There won’t be a problem.

What’s with yesterday’s revenue?

Did you not see other scams on the news?

The Busan job is all you got?

I sent you an ace to raise profit, but you got raided instead.

Are you the problem or Gwak?

My apologies. I’ll rectify the problems immediately.

Anything fishy about Gwak?

Keep him on tight leash, he’ll backstab us at the first chance.

That’s enough, everyone out.

Bundle of energy, take the ashtray.

This isn’t the arm of a druggie.

Did you work construction? What are you hiding?

I said, I dealt drugs. I didn’t say I did them.

Kang Min-ho.

You’re a character, I’ll give you that.

Why are you so pent up?

Chasing druggies left you without money and life…

and you got an anger disorder?

I’m sorry, if you take me in, I’ll do my best.

Take you in?

Am I a charity?

Go on, set it up.

Yes, sir.

I’m giving you a special lesson because I feel pity for you.

You said you wanted to make money.

Then cool the anger inside you.

It comes from cheap sense of revenge.

-You shouldn’t take revenge? -Of course not.

-You won’t last long that way. -What should I do then?

Enjoy it.

We’re feeding on the pain of others, right?

If that’s what we gotta do, then eat it like a feast.

Tell your victims that they’ve been scammed,

make fun of them and enjoy the moment.

You idiot.

Enjoy it!

If you enjoy it, they’ll naturally fall into your lap.

What did Nietzsche say?

“He who laughs best today, will also laugh fucking last.”

So laugh, asshole! Enjoy it!

End of class, leave.

Mr. Hwang, it’s been a while.

Just checking up on your team.

We’re doing well.

My boys came up with killer ideas in today’s meeting.

Why aren’t you making any progress with those killer ideas?

You were given Daechi district personal data long ago.

We’re working on that.

You’re not moonlighting with the scripts, are you?

Proceed with job applicants tomorrow.

Who brought you here when you were passed out high

as a wanted man for stock fraud?

Know your place and follow your orders.

Before I clear house myself.

And don’t laugh in front of me.

Since when did the dog start to smoke with his owner?

Dogs don’t smoke, sir.

See you soon.

Fucking bastard!

Floor manager!

I’m changing the schedule.

Get this to Cheon, it’s tomorrow’s script.

Yes, sir.

Destroy all the printouts and get ready for night shift.

Move your ass! Move, move!

Shred them all.

Mr. Min, things are bad here.

Hwang called and bitched at me.

He found out about me delaying the Daechi district gig.

What?

-You handed over that script? -I barely stopped him.

Yeah, but I gotta initiate the job applicant project,

do I need to lick Hwang's ass on my way out?

Let’s go all-out with 30 million dollars and see you in Shanghai, Min.

WRONG ID OR PASSWORD PLEASE TRY AGAIN

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

We’re going all-out on job applicants.

I’ll check it out, sir.

Gwak is onto something for sure.

I’ll take care of him right after this job.

Yes.

Yes.

20.02.10 BUSAN

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

$30M ALL-OUT WAR

Let’s go all-out with 30 million and see you in Shanghai, Min.

Where’s the newbie?

I think he went to the washroom.

The last project, you mean?

-Get my money for me, something came up. -Yes.

I’ll confirm it and call you back.

Yes, sir.

Sir, we got a missing man from the Development team.

What?

Seal all hallways!

What the hell!

That son of a bitch!

Fuck you to hell!

She runs really well.

She’s Bolt, Usain Bolt.

Dammit!

Where are you guys heading?

I’m out jogging tonight.

With all this microdust in the air?

Your money! I was running to the ATM to send it to you.

Hey, Mary.

No, no, no.

This is Jennifer.

Jennifer?

-Please sit down. -Mary’s sister.

-No, don’t! -Sister.

Capitalist society says if you can’t pay up, do it with your body.

-Come on! -No, don’t!

Don’t come near me!

Wait, wait a minute!

Can I pay you in Chinese Yuan?

Get my money for me, something came up.

Where am I?

Open.

Did you see the newbie?

I… didn’t see him.

Damn you.

I’m sorry, I needed a smoke.

Take him.

SHENYANG, CHINA

Is this a sure thing?

Three-million-dollar bonus?

Would I drag you here for some pocket change?

Right?

The air here is practically half dust.

All right, let’s go.

Currency exchange eight.

We gotta be there within two hours.

Good.

Baby, step on it.

Baby? Seat belt on.

-Let’s go. -Yes, sir.

JOB APPLICANT SUPPORT PROJECT

$30M ALL-OUT WAR

Attention everyone!

Attention please!

This is an unscheduled project.

It’s an incredible script and if it succeeds, we’ll go nationwide.

How much were past lists we gave you?

Twenty to 30,000 dollars for satellite cities,

thirty to 40,000 dollars for Seoul, right?

This list here is worth...

300,000 dollars.

It’s only about 20 pages long.

So, why is this so special that it costs 300,000 dollars?

It’s a list of 400 job applicants who passed interviews

for Chungwoon Holdings.

There’s a week before new hires are announced

and these applicants will be our targets.

First, call and notify them that they’ve passed!

Hello, is this Kim Byung-joon?

I’m calling from Chungwoon Holdings.

-You’ve passed the final interview. -Seriously?

With jobs so hard to come by, it’ll feel like they hit the jackpot.

They’ll go insane!

Really? I thought the announcement was a bit off.

Ministry of Labor instructed us

to announce it early due to low employment rates.

So, I passed for sure?

Congrats, and don’t tell others yet since the official announcement isn’t out.

This is where we hook them.

You still have a physical exam and credit check left.

Credit check?

Yes, if your credit is bad or you have a lot of debt,

you may be susceptible to financial crimes,

so a credit check is a must.

It’s not just us, big banks do it too.

I have about $20,000 in student loans,

would that be okay?

Second stage, insert the real bait.

Is that so?

Ever heard of the Youth Employment Guaranteed Deposit?

Those in their 40s or older will know.

To get into a large corporation, you need a guarantor.

We’re adding in some extra details.

Have your relatives as the guarantor

and put 30,000 dollars into the program.

Student loans are very common nowadays.

To not penalize students…

banks and the government created this program.

Our new project, the Youth Employment Guaranteed Deposit.

This is a legit government branch!

Thirty-thousand dollars per person, 12 million dollars in total.

Uncle, it’s Byung-joon.

Hey, Byung-joon!

-Are you free to talk? -Of course.

Do you smell money? Do you? Right?

That stench of money!

Korea is in hell with economic and unemployment crises.

These people can receive salvation with just 30,000 dollars,

they’ll sell their house or bodies and come running to us!

Yes, I got the call.

Of course I'll be my nephew’s guarantor.

We’ll deliciously take it from them.

In the end, hell is on our side.

Huh?

Let’s get a taste of hell, let’s all get a taste today!

I passed?

Thank you so much! I’ll do my absolute best!

Mom! Mom!

-What is it? -I really passed!

This is the Credit Guarantee Trust. You got into Chungwoon Holdings?

-Yes! -You did it?

Go to the website and fill in the application form,

and you must submit yours, and your guarantor’s IDs.

WIRE TRANSFER COMPLETE

DEPOSITED

It’s about to flood.

Row your boat.

Let’s go!

Four-hundred hits in the morning with a 9.5-million-dollar revenue.

Success rate at 80%.

You did a great job.

Let’s go nationwide in the afternoon.

Six hundred SH Securities applicants who passed their job interviews.

Our goal is 18 million dollars.

Let’s reach 90% success rate!

Let’s continue until you wipe your asses with your commission!

This is your bonus!

It’ll be even hotter in the afternoon!

Let’s go!

Take it, bonus!

Bonus!

Another!

Anyone not get one?

Eat it till you drop!

Dude.

All-out war is in progress? How far along are they?

That’s the least of your worries.

We have to stop them before there are more victims like us.

Open up, we have to stop them.

Get out of here.

That’s the place?

Yeah. Eight Kibaek Street.

Let’s go!

-Is this it? -Yup.

Relax, relax.

Hello.

Eighteen million yuan. Come on. Come on.

You bastard.

Give us 18 million yuan for the Busan construction site job.

What a time to be alive.

Money, money, money!

I’m here.

Hey, you there!

Could you move your car?

We've got places to go. Hurry, hurry.

-Back up, back up. -This is very peculiar.

Why do we have the same withdrawal number?

Weird.

You sons of bitches.

You got balls, I’ll give you that.

Please, don’t kill me.

She convinced me to do this.

I didn’t realize that money belonged to you fine gents.

It wasn’t your money to begin with!

Do you have someone inside the call center?

It’s that cop, right?

Will you chill the hell out? You got no loyalty as a guy!

There’s no time for that!

Look at these assholes spewing shit all over.

Report this to Director Cheon.

And let’s bury these two.

-No, please, please! -No! No!

What’s that?

What the shit!

-Who the hell are you? -South Korean police, asshole.

Cops?

Cops again? This is nuts.

You got a death wish?

Take them into custody.

Kkangchil?

Han Seo-joon’s right hand?

How are you in communication with him?

How are you doing that while he’s at the call center?

Missy.

If they get to you, I can’t guarantee your safety.

If you cooperate with us, we’ll fly you back to Korea.

That’s in your best interest.

Smartphone.

This?

I’ll trust you.

That’s how I chat with Han.

I got this tip via email.

My laptop has location data for the call center I analyzed.

Okay, stand by in Korea.

We haven’t received a deposit from one of the exchanges.

-Which one? -Eight, in the industrial park.

-Call the collection team. -Yes, sir.

Director Cheon!

Seventy-one is gone.

Hey!

What are you doing there?

Look at this punk.

What happened?

Come on!

He didn’t deposit yet!

We got a blackout, go check it out.

Look at this. Someone messed it up.

Reports of voice phishing dropped considerably.

Han is up to something.

Anything on the IP trace?

I can’t trace any further with IP.

Where do we tell the Chinese authority to come?

What are you doing, Han?

I’ll try to trace Kkangchil’s email.

MIN: KOREAN COPS ARE HERE, LOOKING FOR CALL CENTER.

Goddammit.

What’s going on?

Why did the power go out?

-All-out war? -All the phones are down, sir.

Son of a bitch!

That job is worth 25 million dollars!

Someone must’ve tampered with it.

Buddy, keep your eyes on Cheon.

Yes, sir.

We have to go to Shanghai together, right?

-Go, go! -Yes, sir.

COPY

Who the hell are you?

Attorney Kim Hyun-su is your friend, asshole!

Good to meet you, friend. So, what?

Any updates?

It’s got layers of security, it’ll take some time.

The exchange has been raided!

It’s likely Korean cops.

Prep to move out!

Prep to move out! Gather your things!

Hurry up!

We don't have time!

Pack the scripts!

Phones!

Floor manager! Help!

Wait, wait, please!

Let’s talk about this.

Fuck you, asshole.

I said, we should talk!

It’s that bastard!

He was friends with 71!

Where is 71? Who is he?

I don’t know.

Shithead!

Look at this punk. You took some money too?

Please, give it back.

I need to get home with it.

Your debt is 100,000 dollars, right?

If you tell us, you can have these.

We’ll cover your debt too.

We’ll help you make one million dollars.

So, tell me where is 71?

You bastard!

Move!

Director Cheon!

That’s this prick’s phone--

You goddamn rat!

Son of a bitch!

41 48 36N 123 27 58E

NO SERVICE

Let me ask you one thing.

Why are you betraying Mr. Hwang?

You fucker!

There is no “why,” I’m just a con man, fucker!

TRY AGAIN

Find 71!

What are you doing here? 71.

Over here!

Get him!

Move, move!

Go!

Get up there!

Hurry up!

Get him!

Former narcotics officer, Sergeant Han Seo-joon.

Jesus Christ.

What did you do with this phone?

Did you call Korean cops? Your friends?

It’s all useless, we’re on our way out.

We were gonna fly out.

Thanks to you, our project went to shit.

Do you know how much it was worth?

How much longer to copy the personal data?

Five more minutes, sir.

It’d be sad to part ways like this.

Shall we do a tour of the afterlife?

-What are these? Coordinates? -Yes, sir.

Get it to the Chinese.

It’s all in ruins! You bastard!

Yes, Mr. Hwang. I’m the floor manager, sir.

Director Cheon is away for a bit.

He said he’ll be here soon.

Goddamn, that prick.

Christ! Shit!

Let’s team up for a voice phishing.

Tell him that everything went to shit because of you.

You’re a lunatic.

Am I a lunatic?

Seriously, man? Give me the tablet.

Kang Mi-yeon, Gangseo Hospital.

-You bastard! Don’t touch my family! -Shut him up.

-You fucker! -Shut him up!

Son of a--

Hold on, I found it.

Your mother-in-law applied for a loan.

Was it for her daughter’s hospital bill?

-Don’t! -Hello, is this Mrs. Jang Geum-sun?

I’m Kim Hyun-su from Daehan Bank’s Financial Support team.

You’ve applied for a short-term loan from our bank, correct?

I’m afraid it was rejected.

I’m so sorry that we couldn’t help you this time.

I’ll re-evaluate your application and get back to you.

Not at all, ma’am.

Look at him moan.

-Say what? -I’ll do it!

I’ll do it. I will.

We don’t bury bloody bodies like gangsters.

We make them kill themselves.

I’ll do it.

Do it right.

Or your wife dies.

Fucking Hwang.

Mr. Hwang, this is Gwak.

I caught a rat, he turned out to be an ex-cop.

Han Seo-joon, a victim of the Busan construction site job.

-Looks like he came here to get revenge. -Why isn’t Cheon answering his phone?

This bastard got to Cheon.

I got him here, I’ll get him to verify himself.

Born in 1982, in Mokpo,

former Gangnam Narcotics,

Sergeant Han Seo-joon.

National ID 820811-1143…

436.

I killed Cheon.

Was that satisfactory?

-Is this certain? -Of course.

I’ll have this place under control. There’s no need for you to come by.

Clean this mess up.

See? Voice phishing is all about empathy!

Copy’s done.

Okay.

Move in!

Get this door open!

Move in!

-It’s the police! -Police!

Stop, assholes!

Stop! Get them!

Son of a bitch!

You did good.

Bye-bye.

What the hell?

All right!

Come on.

It looks to be about 150.

I don’t think Hwang’s here.

I don’t see Han here.

Shit!

-Boss. -Yeah?

He’s the floor manager.

Do you know where Han, I mean, where Kang Min-ho is?

Punk ass.

Can you only talk on the phone?

Damn!

Fucking bastard!

Shoot me, go on!

Do you really think all of this will stop if I'm dead?

Shoot me!

Shoot me, asshole!

Where was that?

Roof, I think that was the roof!

Han Seo-joon!

Good work.

Don’t move, asshole.

Take him away.

Goddammit!

-Thank you. -Move, asshole.

-Where was this article from? -Just now, sir.

Bunch of idiots.

-Get to the airport. -Right away, sir.

And get Min on the line.

I’ve been calling him, but he’s not answering.

FILE OF THE COP IN CHARGE

I got a text from him.

LEE GYU-HO

Here comes Kim Hyun-su’s call.

KIM HYUN-SU (MIN’S FRIEND)

Kim Hyun-su?

Mr. Hwang, this is prosecutor Kim Hyun-su.

We met last year at a bar with Min’s intro.

Min’s old hometown friend, do you remember?

Yes, of course, I remember!

What’s the situation at the prosecution office?

Gwak is under arrest and he outed you by name.

A warrant will be issued for you.

Did he reveal the Philippines shell company?

Let’s meet ASAP.

If you tell me your location, I’ll bring my men out.

Thank you. I’ll call you back with a location.

Okay.

NEWS FLASH

China’s biggest voice phishing organization was taken down.

They possessed massive amounts of personal data and scripts,

and they’ve been carrying out scams in the middle of the city.

We have raided a Hwang call center

and arrested 150 members.

We also recovered 9.5 million dollars from the recent job applicant scam

in addition to three million dollars from the Busan construction site scam.

Do you think there will be a drop in voice phishing scams?

That’s what we’re hoping.

Do you have a message for the public?

Do not accept any suspicious calls, and if they mention money, just hang up.

Lastly…

a lot of victims are blaming themselves, but it’s not your fault.

These guys are vicious. We’ll get them no matter what.

-Let me see you. -What?

Come on.

Just look at your face.

How could you go there?

THREE MONTHS LATER

MANILA, PHILIPPINES

I heard Hwang was captured and his shop raided.

I recovered some things.

Personal data and scripts. They’re worth at least five million dollars.

This is enough for a big job.

I’d love to have a chance to make a ton of money.

Chairman Cho.

Hello?

I’m Kim Hyun-su from Financial Supervisory Services.

ON THE LINE

CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT

Sergeant Han, welcome back.

I hope you unroot all voice phishing scammers.
