DECOY

YEAR 2023

Deputy Head Gang's briefing
only blew things out of proportion.

I don't get what his deal is.

His briefing wasn't the only reason
why things blew up.

Lee Byeong-jun's attempted murder
of Han Da-jeong escalated things.

I must admit I didn't see that coming.

Jung Jae-hwang's death
could've taken care of everything.

What do you think will happen now?

Should I wait for the dust to settle?

I'm sure nothing will come of it.

Tell them to appease and coax
Gu Do-han when he returns.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you truly not know if No Sang-cheon...

is alive or not?

EPISODE 8. THE TRUTHS

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

I want to go to karaoke.

-Goodbye.
-Make sure to review again.

-Okay.
-Let's go.

-Let's get something to eat.
-Where do you want to go?

Are you getting
a new refrigerator, Ms. Yoo?

Yes. The freezer is acting up,
and the frost keeps building up.

But all the ones I like
are over two million.

Which model are you looking at?

Ms. Yoo, come here.

Look at this.

Look at the price, it's insane!

If it's 2.2 million won,

it's more expensive than the lowest price.

Don't just look at the price.

Look at the rebate below.

Let's see. For this refrigerator,
you get a 30% rebate.

If it's 30%, you'd be getting back
about 660,000 won.

That means this only costs
about 1.54 million won.

That's possible?

Of course.

You know I bought a sofa

and a vacuum cleaner recently, right?

I got a 30% rebate for them as well.

You first pay the list price for the item,

then the 30% rebate
gets wired to your account in two weeks.

What's the name of this shopping mall?

BIGS Mega.

BIGS Mega...

But not anyone can join the website.

You need a recommendation from a member

and pay a small membership fee.

I'll buy it on my account
for you this time.

When I get the rebate,
I'll wire it to you right away.

When you join the website later,

don't forget to write my name down
as the referrer.

Thank you so much.

But how do they even make a profit
if they sell items so cheap?

Haven't you heard of BIGS Network?

BIGS Network owns
this online shopping mall.

It's a great company.

This shopping mall
isn't the only thing they own.

BIGS Network?

Do you all know the difference
between a pyramid scheme

and multi-level marketing?

A pyramid scheme is intangible.

But multi-level marketing is tangible.

Whether it be a product, money, or profit,
there's a tangible benefit.

A pyramid scheme is fraudulent by nature.

But multi-level marketing
is a great business that shares profits.

Hello?

Is this BIGS Asset Management?

-Yes, hello.
-Hello.

I saw a banner
on the professor mutual aid association

and would like to inquire.

I'm interested in joining.

We aim to promote
the welfare of professors

and to supply them
with income post-retirement.

As you know, teachers and soldiers
have mutual aid associations,

but professors don't have one.

Right. But if I may ask...

can part-time lecturers
join the association too?

Of course.

We don't discriminate
against part-time lecturers.

They are professors as well.

I see.

Do you want me to explain more
about our product and its benefits?

Yes, please.

For installment savings
with a monthly amount of over 400,000 won,

we will give you over 30% interest
along with the principal when you retire.

Thirty percent?

Our product currently
offers the same level of benefits

as other associations.

This is made possible
because BIGS Asset Management

is a subsidiary of BIGS Network,
a very solid company.

BIGS Network, I see.

-Hello.
-Hey.

It's cold outside, right?

If you want to warm up,
help yourself to a cup of coffee.

It's an original blend.

-New coffee vending machine, I see.
-That man over there brought it.

We're splitting the profit from it.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Is business good?
-Of course.

If you buy the machine,

the company manages it.

And since you share the profit,

if you invest in a few of these,
you'll make decent money.

Really?

I think this would make more money
than running around doing errands.

You should give it a try.

If you are interested,
call me at this number.

All right.

Also, our chairman is visiting
the Magang Branch here in a few days.

Okay.

Everyone.

This single business card
will change your future.

I can assure you

that should there be
a dramatic turning point in your life,

it is this very moment.

As I mentioned before,

our business is not a pyramid scheme.

We're not frauds.

We are a legitimate networking business

that yields big profits for our consumers.

So please be confident and bold

when dealing with our customers.

BIGS NETWORK INVESTMENT BRIEFING
BIGS NETWORK

-Where is the place?
-Isn't it that building?

-This place must be it.
-Let's go.

Really? We'll be raking in money.

-It's here.
-Look at all those people.

Ever since the founding of BIGS Network,

we have worked together
for a whopping three years.

In those three years,

we have opened dozens of branches
all across the country.

Out of all the branches,

I love and adore Magang Branch the most.

If the briefing concludes successfully,

all the staff members here
can be promoted to managers.

The more customers we get,
the more profit you'll net.

And customers are happy
with all the quick cash they can get.

We are a social enterprise that forms
a symbiotic relationship with customers!

And it is the new trend!

That is what BIGS Network is all about.

All right.

It's now time to show our thanks
to the customers who have faith in us.

Please open the door.

BIGS Network!

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

MAGANG NAMBU POLICE AGENCY

YEAR 2023

DEPUTY HEAD GANG JONG-HUN

POLICE FOR THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE

DEPUTY HEAD GANG JONG-HUN

Captain.

Welcome back.

I'm glad things worked out.

Don't push yourself too hard.

I'll manage.

Enjoy your vacation!

Why can't you read the room?
He's not leaving because he wants to.

Any leads?

Something that just came in. Let's go.

Both of them wore ski masks,
so we can't identify their faces.

As expected, their car was unregistered.

Detective Go is tracking them down
in the control room.

You guys didn't slack off
while I was gone.

Of course not.
I knew you'd get reinstated in no time.

So Jung Jae-hwang
didn't kidnap the Deputy Head?

The suspects pretended
to be Jung Jae-hwang.

And they killed Jung Jae-hwang

and staged his death as a suicide.

Here's why they killed him.

They wanted him to take all the blame

and close the case.

Shouldn't we reinvestigate
starting with the first case?

I mean Jung So-ram's murder.

We don't have any proof,
so it won't be easy.

Do you know
what matters most to an attorney

when they take on a new client?

I know. A motive for the crime?

That only matters to us cops.

The truth.

Attorneys want to know
if their client is telling them the truth.

I reviewed the case with that in my mind.

ALL THE VICTIMS MENTIONED NO SANG-CHEON

In the series of incidents,

who is telling the truth?

No one in this case
is telling us the whole truth.

From the fraud victims,
Lee Byeong-jun, Cheon Na-yeon...

JUNG JAE-HWANG
NOT SUICIDE

...and even Deputy Head Gang.

That's why we must find the truth
from the deceased.

Why did Jung Jae-hwang
have to be framed and killed?

Why did Jung So-ram,
Song Young-jin, and Park Gwang-sin

mention No Sang-cheon before they died?

It sounds like you caught onto something
during your suspension.

Piecing the puzzle together.

Find out the reason
why they all had to die.

If we find out the truth,
we will get closer to finding the culprit.

Is this even possible?

If the plan was to wrap the murders up
with Jung Jae-hwang's death,

this might be the truth,
though it's only a theory yet.

We need to find the missing pieces now.

ALL THE VICTIMS MENTIONED NO SANG-CHEON

If someone truly staged
Jung Jae-hwang's death as a suicide,

we have four serial killings on our hands.

The serial killer murdered four people

but let you live.

And you still have no idea?

There's only one reason
behind my abduction.

They wanted me to frame
Jung Jae-hwang as the culprit

and close the case.

And you did just that.

But Lee Byeong-jun threw a curveball

and brought old cases to light,

which caused that plan to fail.

That's right.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're so different

from the man I knew you to be
before this incident.

At least you were fair and just
when it came to work.

The detectives on No Sang-cheon's case.

I heard they were the talk of the town.

Many officers faced disciplinary action.

You were one of the cops
who worked on the case,

but never reprimanded.

That means

you were either
an extremely clean cop with integrity

with no open records of receiving bribes

or a loyal dog for the brass
who followed their orders to a T.

From what I know,
I doubt you were the latter.

But why did you try so hard
to cover the case up?

Please tell me the truth now.

CAPTAIN GU

You have no idea who?

No idea.

They were wearing ski masks.

We're tracing back the vehicle's movement
before and after the incident.

Sure.

Let me know if you find something.

You did that on purpose
so I could listen, right?

You deliberately asked me
to meet you here at the hotel too.

I haven't had a vacation in a while,
but I had nowhere else to go.

And you happened to pop into my mind.

Don't beat around the bush.
Just get to the point.

Who were my abductors?

How am I supposed to know that?

As you've heard, it's being investigated.

We might find them soon.

If you tell me who they were
before we catch them, who knows?

This might get covered up too.

Whether it gets covered up or not
is not the issue.

I can't tell you what I don't know.

Why are you laughing?

Who told you that I was abducted?

No one knew
other than the Violent Crimes Unit.

I found out from your phone call just now.

Park Sang-do, you were the only one
who knew my whereabouts that day.

You were the one who changed
the venue of our meeting to this hotel.

Your tone.

It's bothering me.

Are you accusing me of abducting you?

No.

If it had been you,

you would've had me abducted
in a place where you wouldn't be.

Assuming that your plan
was to just let me go without killing me.

I bet you just told them

where I was at the time.

Who's giving you orders? Kim Seong-dae?

This sudden accusation is absurd.

It's always been this way.

You receive orders
from Assemblyman Kim Seong-dae,

and I carried out your bidding.

That's right. I'll give you that.

But that was only before you messed
everything up at the press briefing.

Let's not waste time here.

I'm a busy man.

The murder cases
of No Sang-cheon's acquaintances.

Why did these murders happen?

Why did Jung Jae-hwang
have to take the fall in the end?

I must know the answers
to these questions.

Why do you want to know?

Did your feelings get hurt

when it turned out

that it wasn't Jung Jae-hwang?

No Sang-cheon is alive, isn't he?

You're not the only person

who wants an answer to that question.

I asked someone the very same question,

and I got an answer recently.

Captain Gu.

So?

What was the answer you got?

Look for it yourself.

That leaves me...

no choice but to trace back our past.

Go ahead.

CAPTAIN GU

Did I do something wrong?

No, it's fine. What is it?

Han Da-jeong woke up.

-She's over the hump.
-Can we see her?

Not immediately.
The hospital will call us when we can.

All right. Keep checking.

Yes, sir.

By the way...

that was Deputy Head's voice, right?

Can we trust him?

He didn't go on a vacation.

Sorry?

He went to investigate.

He has first-hand experience

of the incident 12 years ago
and the present.

I'm sure he's tracing back to see
who protected No Sang-cheon,

including himself.

Are you doing better?

Mr. Byeong-jun feels terrible about this.

When he heard you survived,

he cried his eyes out.

Ms. Han.

You can't visit her yet.

I'm sorry.

-Jeez.
-Hello.

Look at how half-heartedly you work

since you'd get paid anyway.

Why are you picking on me? I'm doing fine.

Give that to me.

Come on!

Put in some effort
like it's your own house!

Okay.

Gosh.

It's been a while.

Chief Gang, no.
Is it Deputy Head Gang now?

You own this building?

It's not mine. It's under my wife's name.

What brings you here to this countryside?

You're famous these days.

Indeed. That's why I'm here.

Let's go somewhere we can talk.

No need to go very far.

It's been 12 years
since you left the force, right?

I'm not sure.

I hardly keep count of the days.

It's easy to remember.

You quit right after
No Sang-cheon smuggled out.

Why ask when you already know?

Why did you do it?

Do what?

Are you here to nitpick about that?
It's been years.

Is life better as a building owner
than when you were a detective?

What about you?

Becoming the deputy head
was smooth sailing for you, wasn't it?

-It's all thanks to you.
-That's all that matters.

Everyone is living a happy life.

I'm doing well as a businessman
after leaving the force.

And you are living happy and proud
after being promoted to deputy head.

That's all we need.

I keep thinking about this lately.

What would have happened

if I didn't fall for your lies back then?
How would my life have turned out?

Technically, No Sang-cheon got you.

That's why you never sought me out
after I left the force.

I couldn't bring myself to visit you,

even after finding out the truth.

I wanted to rip you apart.

But the shame I felt for my actions
was stronger.

What brought you here then?

Who was it?

Who offered you that deal?

I wasn't offered anything.

It was just the flow.
It just naturally happened that way.

I don't think an idiot like you

could've stricken a deal
with No Sang-cheon himself.

Who ordered you to do it?

Jong-hun.

Your disrespectful tone is bothering me.

I'm not your lackey.

You son of a bitch.

Just stop here.

Digging deeper won't do you any good.

You also turned a blind eye
and reaped the benefits.

Have a safe trip back.

I didn't know either.

I didn't know Jae-hwang...

would die like that.

It wasn't suicide.

Captain Gu Do-han
is investigating the case.

The doctor told me I almost died.

But I had a dream.

Jae-hwang appeared and asked...

"Why did you send me there?"

So I told him I was sorry.

I...

also cried.

If I knew he'd die like that,

I wouldn't have sent him there.

It's their doing.

Kim Seong-dae and his crew.

"Kim Seong-dae"?

The Speaker of the National Assembly?
Really?

The one who asked for Jae-hwang

must be one of Kim Seong-dae's.

Assemblyman Kim Seong-dae...

was looking out for me.

Two abductors. Ski masks.

Are they the culprits
who killed Jung Jae-hwang?

Very likely.

It's also very likely

that the man behind Detective Cho
made a move this time as well.

Higher-ups?

The culprit may not
be on Jung Jae-hwang's list.

There's a chance
that they are a new player.

That bastard is acting that way
despite knowing everything!

I mean, I had been putting my guard up
against people threatening to kill me,

and now that I finally got the chance
to relax for once,

a random person tries to humiliate me
by digging up the past!

Someone will come into the game
and resolve the situation.

In return, you should be ready
to give up one of your arms.

Yes, well...

I'm prepared to do so.

That's all that matters.

Everyone is living a happy life.

I'm doing well as a businessman
after leaving the force.

And you are living happy and proud
after being promoted to deputy head.

That's all we need.

Detective!

We've been waiting for you.

She doesn't have anyone
to care for her, you see.

She lost her family too.

Aren't you here because Lee Byeong-jun
gets more prison time if she dies?

Could we get some privacy?

I have some questions for Han Da-jeong.

Excuse me.

Are you okay? Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, are you okay?

I was waiting for you, asshole.

Take off your mask.

Take it off
or I'll skin your face off along with it!

Gosh, you knew we'd meet again?

I knew you'd show up
if I kept poking around.

But I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Tell the guy in the car to come out.

He already has.

We think that Jung Jae-hwang's death
was a murder staged as a suicide.

Let me ask you a few questions.

Jung Jae-hwang visited you, correct?

Why did he visit you?

Please be honest now.

Jae-hwang...

Ms. Han Da-jeong!

-I'm dying...
-Ms. Han.

Nurse!

Hang in there, Ms. Han!

Protect me...

Hurry!

Ms. Han!

Please step outside!

Doctor!

You...

You're...

I expected you to get our message
with the staged abduction and all.

Who...

Who are you?

We didn't plan on killing you,
Deputy Head Gang.

What a hassle.

We'll go with suicide
and send you off with dignity.

I'll stage it neatly.

-Was the deceased a suspect?
-How's your investigation going?

-Hey!
-A comment, please?

-What happened?
-Aren't you taking questions?

-How's the investigation going?
-Do you know who the deceased is?

Sir. A moment, please.

Fuck! Seriously!

-Goodbye.
-Thank you for the food.

YEAR 2011

Come here, you brat.
Why didn't you eat more?

-I was so full.
-Come on.

You should've eaten more!

Why do you want to meet me?

Are you going to make an enticing offer?

That depends on how you take it.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Cheon Ho-myung,
the legal representative of BIGS Network.

So you're No Sang-cheon's attorney?

Technically, I work for his company,
but I guess you could say that.

Anyway, could you take a look
at these documents?

This speaks louder than words.

Mr. Cheon Ho-myung.

You are a suspect for attempted bribery.

What do you mean?
I was only trying to show you the papers.

I see. You tried to show me the papers

but coincidentally,
there were gold bars in the bag?

-I...
-Who the heck carries gold bars around?

It's like jewelry.

You know how people wear gold rings?

It's the same thing.

Enough with the nonsense.

We might let things slide
about the attempted bribery.

But you must tell me
where No Sang-cheon is.

Could I get a lawyer?

Can't you represent yourself?

No, I mean...

Please call this person.

What the heck are you saying?

ATTORNEY, CHEON HO-MYUNG

This isn't yours?

My actual name is Seo In-seok.

I'm not a lawyer
but an actor who performs at Daehak-ro.

But someone just handed me
a million won to do this.

I wouldn't have done it
if I had known the consequences.

I was told the worst I'd get charged with
was impersonation, a misdemeanor.

If I got into any trouble,

I was told to give you this business card.
Then, this lawyer would represent me.

Darn it.

ASSEMBLYMAN KIM SEONG-DAE

THE FUTURE PRESIDENT
JANG KWON-HO

Goodness gracious.

Man, this place hasn't changed one bit.

Have a good one.

Mr. Kim isn't here.

I know. I came after seeing him leave.

I'm here to see you.

We were once on the same team.

You can't just keep barging in like this.

You know fully well
I cut my ties with you years ago.

Sure. You got your cut

and weaseled out.

You even bought a building
with that money.

But what the fuck about me?

No Sang-cheon is trying to kill me,

and Kim Seong-dae
only gives me fucking lousy pocket change.

I should fucking have something
left to my name, don't you think?

No Sang-cheon should get locked up

for me to get something from him,
you know.

But no one knows about that.

I have a hunch

about a certain place.

So I was wondering

if you could help me.

No, I don't know anything.

Fuck that shit!

I'm going to tell the whole world
how you used to con people with me!

Got that?

You want to become a city councilman?

Go fuck yourself.

Fucking bastard.

Fine. What is it that you want?

What do you want me to do?

Kim Seong-dae...

is still very close
to No Sang-cheon, isn't he?

Ms. Yoo!

Open the door!

I know you're in there, so open up!

We know you're inside. Come out!

What are you doing in there?
We can hear you!

Give me my money back!

What is it?

Na-yeon. Come home late today.

Are the creditors there again?

Yes, so get something to eat
and come home late, okay?

It's not like I have money to eat out.

You blew everything.

I'll manage. Bye.

Ms. Yoo!

Open the door!

DECEASED, CHEON DO-SIK

Dad.

What do I do?

I really hate Mom.

Are 35 units correct for Asan Corporation?

Yes, that's right.

They say it'll be arranged in a few days.

The VIP has finally made their move.

This is all thanks to you, So-ram.

You've done really well.

Gosh, it took another person's life

to get things moving properly.

I was told to keep the cops under control.

Those bastards.

They want me to spend more money.

I thought it was all over anyway.

The cops near the port are also ready?

Yes, sir. But Magang hasn't budged yet.

Damn it.

Magang is always the problem.

Out of all the so-called victims,
the folks there cause the most trouble.

And their cops are being absurd as well.

The place must be cursed.

The higher-ups can't convince him either

because he's a hardcore detective.

He seems to keep in close touch
with the victims as well.

If something goes wrong
before we board the ship,

we could land in big trouble.

Then we must look for another way.

Haven't you seen The Godfather?

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

Hey.

-What happened?
-Are you okay?

You guys didn't have to come.
It's nothing and quite embarrassing.

Darn it. Did you see the faces of the guys
who did this to you?

I never saw them before.

Five guys ganged up on me out of nowhere.

-I couldn't get myself together.
-You've been beaten up pretty badly.

Was it some sort of a random attack?

They didn't even say anything?

Just that it was a warning.

They said they'll kill me if I act up.

What the heck does that even mean?

Gosh, what dirty bastards.

They seemed to know who I was.

I don't think it was a random assault.

I'm sorry to miss work when it's busy.

I'll return to work soon.

It's all right. Don't worry about that.

Focus on your recovery, okay?

Gosh, hold on.

Hello, Deputy Head?

-Hold a press conference tonight.
-You came empty-handed? What about snacks?

-Out of the blue?
-Don't give me that.

You said it yourself a few days ago.

You promised to see it through.

Your unit is the only one
still investigating No Sang-cheon.

That hardly warrants a press briefing.

You didn't read it online?

The victims of No Sang-cheon wrote posts,
and articles are flooding in.

People are going crazy
saying how we're not getting him.

Sort out that mess.
Say that you'll catch him no matter what.

Just say a few words that sound nice.

Today's the day.
They want us to leave tonight.

Finding them won't be easy.

Just who the heck are these bastards?

Jeez.

Hey.

Do you think you can get him this time?

-Talk.
-Fuck.

Just get him, okay?

It's your last chance.

What time? Where?

All right.

What did they say?

Seokyung city police stations
can't cooperate.

-Why not?
-All the officers are away for some event.

-They only have a few left on standby.
-Gosh, those sons of bitches.

-They told me to call the Coast Guard.
-Then make the call.

Yes, Deputy Head?

Where are you? Have you forgotten
about today's press conference?

Of course not.
I'm preparing an amazing show for it.

But I may not be able to make it in time.

Could you just step in for me?

Say we'll catch No Sang-cheon
no matter what.

All you need to say
is a few words that sound nice.

What are you saying?

People will go crazy when I bring
No Sang-cheon to the conference, right?

-Okay, have a good night.
-What did they say?

The folks at the Coast Guard are all away.

What's wrong with everyone?

Catching a conman
isn't enough to get them worked up.

They don't get what the fuss is about.

The amount he got away with
is on another level.

How are they so indifferent?

Did No Sang-cheon
bribe them with gold bars?

Seriously.

FROM RESTRICTED NUMBER

What is this?

-What's wrong?
-This is Ye-jin.

Why are my daughter and wife...

What the heck is going on?

What the...

What's this?

I mean...

Honey, save us.

-You have to save Ye-jin!
-Honey. Hello?

RESTRICTED NUMBER

IF YOU DON'T STOP NOW, I'LL KILL THEM.
IT'S ALL IN YOUR HANDS.

Shit!

We have to save my wife and daughter!
What do we do?

Fuck!

You have no idea where they're being kept?

If you know, we can at least
send the special task force.

Fuck! No Sang-cheon, that son of a bitch!

This is all his doing.

Yu-cheol...

He must be behind Yu-cheol's attack too!

Damn it!

All right.

Let's head back.

Thank you, Chief.

It's all right.

Your family is my family, okay?

That motherfucker!

He dare kidnap the family of a detective?

I'll get him.

I'll hunt him down until the end. Fuck...

Here to escort me again?

No, that's not it.

To keep an eye on me?

There's the ship.

I'll do the press conference.

I have a message for that bastard,
No Sang-cheon.

Did you let him escape?

I'm asking you

if you're not catching him on purpose.

No Sang-cheon.

I'm warning you.

Return them immediately.

What measures are the police taking?

Do you have proof
that No Sang-cheon is alive?

Have you located No Sang-cheon?

How do you plan on apprehending him?

How much progress
has your investigation made?

THE DRAGON NO. 2

You can hop over to that Chinese boat.

The Coast Guard wasn't around.

It was smooth sailing.

I was nervous for no reason.

Cause of death was gunshot to the brain.

Traces of gunfire residue
was on his right hand,

so we can assume that he shot himself.

A bottle of soju was found in his car,
so I ran an alcohol level test.

His blood alcohol content was 0.198%.
He was drunk.

So there's absolutely nothing suspicious
about his death?

A contusion on his abdomen.

His right ankle was slightly sprained.

These aren't enough
to say there was an assault...

But it's odd that traces
of the first blank shot weren't found.

If he was murdered,

the scene was thoroughly staged.
An autopsy won't get you anything.

If there is anything suspicious,
like his whereabouts or other clues,

it's up to you to find them.

Next.

Next.
