(Episode 1)

(Baek Joon Soo, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

All the gamblers are having a field day today.

- Get going. - Okay.

- I was trying to get this. - All right.

- Hey, miss. - I'm staking everything here.

- How do you know that? - Hold on a second.

It's about time. I'm going all in.

I'm raising you.

Hey, don't look.

Thank you.

30,000.

One.

Ta-da.

Here I go again. I won again! How did I end up with this again?

I can't believe him. He's been raking all of our money.

Gosh, I'm thirsty. I need a drink. Oh, I have one here.

He just said he was trying to mix his colors too.

I wasn't supposed to take money from him then.

Be quiet. Start shuffling.

This is the problem with Korean prosecutors.

They are blinded by their ambition that they only care about big cases.

They aren't interested in arresting con artists.

Everyone is gambling away their money over there.

Where are all the prosecutors?

Hence, my presence here, right?

You're right, sir.

The prosecution is the problem.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a beauty!

I knew it. It's my lucky underwear.

Like this one. See? I can't forget about my lucky underwear.

Wait, I lost?

No, my money!

Hey, your tiles are different from the last time I saw them.

Are you conning us?

What? You conned us?

What?

Hey, pig. Stop talking nonsense.

Bye, everyone.

You scumbags!

You're with him, aren't you?

What are you talking about? I lost too.

No, no.

- Who are they? - What's going on?

Hey, guys.

How do I say, "Spare my life" in Chinese?

"Spare my life."

"Spare my life."

- "Spare..." - You...

Who are you?

We're from Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

We received a report there is an illegal gambling at the premises.

I'm afraid you must have been mistaken.

Our boss is having an important meeting with his friends.

Do rich people talk with pistols?

Move in.

- How dare you, you jerks! - Move aside!

Stop resisting!

How dare you con me?

Sir, you must get out of here quickly.

Prosecutors are here.

- Hey, everyone. - Don't move.

This way!

- Get the money. - Hey.

- What's going on? - Round all of them up.

- There are more over here. - Move!

Get up.

- Stop it, and get out of there. - Get on with it.

- Hands. - You got the wrong idea here.

Hands on your head. Put your hands behind your head.

- I'm taking everyone in. - My husband is going to kill me.

My goodness. Oh, dear me.

I'm not part of this.

Murder on top of illegal gambling?

- Arrest everyone in here! - Yes, sir.

Sir.

- Mr. Kim, get him. - Yes, sir.

Hey! Get up here!

I'll catch you.

Jump!

Hold on.

- Sir. - Hey.

Run!

- Stand still. - Take everything as evidence.

Arrest them all and bring them to Seoul.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Hand over your bags.

- What about the ones who fled? - We lost them.

You lost them?

They took a boat and ran far, far away.

Far away?

Then they won't be back.

Okay. The guests are gone.

Let's finish up and go!

Good job.

Use something with a little less fire power.

I almost really died.

I'm telling you. You're the best button.

(Button: A con term for a fake raid, sending away the target)

It should be about three million dollars.

Do Chan is the master of setting.

(Setting: A pre-planned scenario)

Use it sparingly.

Cons are short, but life is long.

I love you.

Everyone, come collect your pay!

(Baek Joon Soo, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

Sir, it's Baek Joon Soo.

(Chief Prosecutor)

Hi. Actually, you've been transferred back to Seoul.

I'm on my way to Seoul now.

Already? It isn't until next week.

I convinced him...

to hand over the goods.

Who? Nam Seung Tae?

Where are you meeting him?

Just a minute.

(Switch - Change the World)

(A Con Artist's Heart Beats Slowly)

Stand right there.

You laughed at me, you crazy witches!

No, we weren't laughing you.

What's your problem?

Hey. Who do you think you are to look down on me?

We weren't laughing at you.

You're driving me insane.

This is insane.

Hey you. What are you looking at?

Hey, hey. This is so 18th century. Did you forget it's 2018?

Did you think they'd go, "You're so hot"...

if you hold up a knife, you loser?

And who are you?

Get lost, you freak.

Sorry, but...

you seem a bit too small...

to uphold your male ego.

You unendowed loser. Stop showing off your strength.

Why you...

You crazy little brat.

I'll kill you. You're dead.

Be a good boy.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Hello, sir.

Pardon?

Ms. Oh, is there a problem?

I don't have my ID. Please let me in.

You need to go over there and fill out the form.

Ma'am!

What happened to Joon Soo?

What do we do?

Joon Soo was in a big car accident...

Where? How? How badly was he injured?

He collided with a truck. He fell into the ocean...

He's in surgery.

What do we do?

Where is he?

The commonality between the pieces is that...

the artist was deeply influenced by Kandinsky.

- I see. Kandinsky. - Yes.

The composition of simple colors and shapes...

is a true expression of Suprematism.

The fun thing is, they say with Kandinsky,

you can hear the music when you look at his work.

Is there anything you don't know, Mr. Geum?

Let's move onto the next room.

Please, Joon Soo. Joon Soo.

Joon Soo, please be okay.

Right when he was coming up to see Nam Seung Tae.

- Nam Seung Tae? - Yes.

- Sir. - Yes?

I don't think this was an accident.

What?

Those jerks.

What do we do? What now?

What do we do about Joon Soo? Joon Soo...

Joon Soo.

Don't you dare die.

Why would he die? Joon Soo won't die, you punk.

Didn't you hear the doctor?

His life isn't in danger.

He'll shake it off and get up. Right?

Thank you so much for being alive. I am so relieved.

How are you relieved?

They pushed a prosecutor into the ocean.

I won't forgive those scumbags.

Of course, we can't forgive them.

Those rotten scumbags.

What will you do?

What else?

I need to first report what happened...

They tried to kill a prosecutor.

- If they find out he's alive... - If they do?

We need to move him where nobody will know.

This will work, right?

Don't worry. The director of the hospital is a friend of mine.

He said he's going to keep it a secret. Don't worry.

[VIU Ver] SBS E01 Switch - Change the World "A Con Artist's Heart Beats Slowly" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Fish and people are just the same.

They flounder to survive.

What happened?

I did as you instructed, but there's a small problem.

What problem?

When the car was pulled out, the door was open.

And no one was inside the car.

I didn't check the body myself,

but I think he drowned.

You think?

That means it's a speculation.

Do you know what the biggest catch for fishermen is?

It's the fish that got away.

(Identification, Baek Joon Soo)

(Nam Seung Tae)

Hello?

Who is this?

Is this Nam Seung Tae?

Hi, my name is Oh Ha Ra.

I'm Prosecutor Baek's colleague.

Where's Prosecutor Baek?

He was in a small accident. I will meet you in his place.

I won't trust anyone but him.

Come in.

Hey, did you look into the truck driver?

I did,

but his ID and name were all fake.

Even the footage is blurry.

- What about Nam Seung Tae? - I just got off the phone with him.

He will only meet with Joon Soo.

I'm stepping out for a moment.

I can pack some soju for our trip to China, right?

You should cut down on drinking.

- Hey, come on. Hurry up. - No!

My gosh.

You guys are so lame. They have better drinks over there.

You guys are so lame. They have better drinks over there.

I just need to change.

- Hurry up then. - Do Chan... Oh, you're ready.

(Baek Joon Soo, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

You were amazing.

I like cash, but it's just too heavy.

Do Chan, take a look at this.

("A Diplomat Charged with Smuggling Drugs Commits Suicide")

Who is that?

- He looks just like Do Chan. - He does, doesn't he?

This was a year ago. I came across it while deleting your record.

This isn't a result of excessive use of force.

The entire investigation was carried out...

within the confines of the law.

What do you think? Doesn't he look just like you?

Should we set you up as a prosecutor?

I'll be anything but a prosecutor.

Why not?

(Baek Joon Soo, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

(Baek Joon Soo, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

My gosh, this is so weird.

How did a prosecutor know we were gambling on a deserted island?

How did a prosecutor know we were gambling on a deserted island?

On top of that, he didn't have backup from the district.

He just came on a motor boat?

I asked a detective I know in Incheon, and he said...

there weren't any recent illegal gambling cases.

The same goes for shooting and murder.

I think we've been set up.

These jokers pulled one on me, Cho Sung Doo.

Get more guys on the street. Search anywhere they might go!

Yes, sir!

The ferry?

Are we taking the ferry instead of a plane?

Hey, look. "Departure".

- What time does it depart? - 9:40am.

- 9:40am? Right on time. - Seriously.

I get seasick. Why are we taking the ferry?

- Did you pack your passport? - How long is the trip?

Excuse me, sir.

I have a favor to ask you.

Today, my daughter-in-law was supposed to be on this ferry,

but her water just broke, so she's in the hospital now.

My son is waiting for her in Tianjin Terminal.

My son is waiting for her in Tianjin Terminal.

So...

Could you please give this to him, for me?

My gosh, this looks quite expensive.

Be careful. Please be careful.

- Isn't she conning him? - I think so.

- Isn't she conning him? - I think so.

- He's letting her con him. - Even though he knows?

You don't know Do Chan.

Look at her.

She does it to make ends meet.

He's a con artist himself. He's going to let her con him?

Hey, let's go inside.

He's going to listen to her life story...

and give her a lot of money too.

How is a con artist so sympathetic?

So you're saying...

Sir, right there.

So what is it you want to tell me?

- Come on. Hurry up. I need to go. - What?

Well, listen. It's just that my son's water just broke.

Wait, no.

My daughter-in-law is here illegally.

No, no. I'm the undocumented alien here.

Okay. I can give you...

1,700 dollars for the security deposit, right?

Hang in there.

You need to practice more. You should go now.

Thank you.

Hey, Mr. Prosecutor.

Hi.

Isn't that 005?

You thought I was an idiot and set me up?

I did some digging.

No one died from a shooting,

and no prosecutor raided a gambling house.

Isn't this so weird?

Logically-speaking, doesn't this sound illogical?

Mr. Prosecutor, let us check your identification.

(Baek Joon Soo, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

Oh, right. I remember you.

You guys were the ones who were playing mahjong and got away, right?

Too bad.

I'm on another case. I'm swamped with work.

Go somewhere and hide.

I'll round you up after I close this case.

I lost 3 million dollars. 3 million dollars.

Do you think I'll let you off this easily?

Don't you think we should talk about this?

Will you be able to handle the consequences?

Sure.

Hello?

Hi, is this the investigator? This is Baek Joon Soo.

Do you remember the gamblers we lost on the deserted island?

I'm taking them in right now.

Sorry? Oh, okay.

Please set up an interrogation room.

Okay, sir. I'll get on it.

It's an emergency. We need to set this up now.

- Guys, escort the prosecutor. - Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Hello, Prosecutor Baek.

Were you working out of your office today?

Yes, what about the case we talked about the other day?

I wrapped it up, sir.

(Prosecutors' Office)

- This is the plan, okay? - I got it. It's not my first rodeo.

Please, sir. Let me take that.

What's wrong? This is my car.

I don't trust you yet. You're just a suspected con artist.

- Got that? - We know the way...

to Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Fine. Do as you wish.

But I won't forget this.

Got that?

Sure.

My gosh!

- Hey! - Come on!

Okay. I've been accident-free for 25 years.

(6 years ago)

(54th Bar Exam)

Did you have a good dream?

Round one is easy for you, right?

(Mr. Bong)

- Hi. - Do Chan.

Help me.

What's wrong?

What do I do? Please help me.

Do Chan. You're the only one I can ask right now.

Please, Do Chan. I'm so sorry.

Please...

What's wrong?

Hey, Do Chan!

Hello, sir. I just got here.

We're by the lobby.

Yes, sir.

I'm terribly sorry, but we were in a car accident.

You're out of the office?

Okay. Come when you're done.

(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)

(Kim Soo Chul, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

Hey, Soo Chul.

You know that case? Go easy on him.

It makes the prosecutors look bad if you're too harsh.

Hello, pretty lady Mi Ran.

Hello.

I don't have my ID on me.

Please call upstairs and ask them to send someone down.

Who...

Me?

Baek Joon Soo. The prosecutor.

In Tae. Straighten your tie. Darn it.

Okay.

I called them. Someone is coming down.

Thanks.

Do you even know what you've done?

Of course. I'm just going to check whether or not you're a prosecutor.

Obstruction of Justice. Section 136.1 of the Penal Code.

A person who assaults or threatens a civil servant...

during the performance of his duties...

will face up to five years in prison or be fined up to 10,000 dollars.

Moreover, you were gambling.

Section 246 of the Penal Code. A person who gambles...

shall pay a fine of up to 10,000 dollars!

Are you really...

a prosecutor?

I'm warning you.

Leave before I count to three.

I'll count to three. Exactly three.

Still, let me confirm.

I warned you.

I said I'd count to three.

One.

Two.

Boss.

I won't give you two and a half.

Three...

Joon Soo!

Joon Soo!

It's been so long. How have you been?

My gosh. You've gained weight.

(Oh Ha Ra Supreme Prosecutors' Office)

You've been working out. Looking good.

Yes. I've been hitting the gym lately.

I came with some guests.

Run.

Hey! Hey! Stop right there!

Why those little...
