(Episode 11)
Are we not there yet?
We're almost there.
(Mihwadang)
Don't stand there.
Get him. I'll wait out here.
Okay.
(Mihwadang)
What are you doing?
- Careful. - Oh, no.
Keep your legs steady. Gosh.
- What is this? - Oh, no!
- Wait, hold on. - Hey!
Ma'am! She's right there.
- Goodness. Sir, watch your feet. - Let go of me.
The car is right here, sir.
Watch your head. Be careful.
There, let's go. Oh, boy.
You won't have met. Say hi.
It's Jay.
We meet again.
First, I need you to tell me...
what it is that Ro Um tried to steal from Kyung Ja.
- A notebook. - A notebook?
Yes. Director An Chae Hong's notebook.
Jeokmok's ledger?
Kyung Ja already handed that over to the president.
The last remaining one. Only Jang Kyung Ja knows about it.
The last remaining one?
Yes.
Then why is Ro Um so determined to find it?
It contains info on the identity of the president.
So Kyung Ja knows who the president is?
Yes.
Where is it now?
That I don't know.
Oh, right. Jang Kyung Ja took it back.
That was the last time I saw it.
And I bet that's how I got out. Am I right?
My, Kyung Ja is one scary woman.
Sneaking that out is one thing,
but causing all this mess after holding onto it for this long...
How about you work with me once more?
What do you say, Su Ho?
Pardon me?
Whether Kyung Ja has hidden the notebook...
or has a copy,
I believe that notebook is all we need...
to finish her off for good.
Then there will be nothing stopping us.
You can plant a camera in Kyung Ja's room, right?
You're good at making that stuff.
The kind with audio, of course.
What do you mean?
He'll help us?
Yes, you heard me right.
Did you guys decide this together?
Ro Um.
Let's talk.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Did you reach out to him? Or did he come to you?
(Auto Repair)
We met by chance.
Then whose idea was it? Him helping us.
There's something I can help you with.
And I agree.
It won't be bad to have one of Jang Kyung Ja's men on the team.
You always do this, Ro Um.
You believe that your goal can justify the means.
I do?
I thought we were done talking about issues like this.
Yeon Tae Hoon.
You think he's like Yeon Tae Hoon?
How could you trust him?
Didn't you say you couldn't relate to Yeon Tae Hoon at all?
He beat up Ring Go without batting an eye.
What do you think the Jeokmok Kids were all about?
Jay was trained to kill.
And we were taught to punish each other. That was our rule.
Ring Go knows that too.
It's not about whether or not he knows the rule.
Are you saying we should be grateful that he didn't kill Ring Go?
All will be fine if Jay follows the rules.
On what grounds are you saying this?
I'm basing my decision on my faith stemming from my experience.
"Faith?"
Ro Um, if you must get him involved,
- I decide the rules. - What?
As of this moment, you won't talk to him.
I'll talk to him.
That's fine, right?
You and I are a team anyway.
The revolver.
Find my revolver.
I guess you guys rely a lot on that lawyer.
Well, he's a good guy.
Shall we step out? If you're uncomfortable here.
Why are you asking me? I'm not Ring Go.
Shall we step out?
No. I mean... Sure, if you want to step out.
Why are you here?
I kept being reminded of the old days.
As you know, I'm indebted to Ro Um, just like you guys.
Did you always talk so politely to me?
I've never once talked casually to you.
So I guess you haven't told her.
She thinks we've never met before.
That's right. Not yet.
Why are you saying you want to help us?
Did Ro Um not tell you?
I must hear it directly from you.
The president chose Ma Kang Soo instead of Ms. Jang,
which means she'll be put in danger after the wrap-up.
Ro Um is after the president anyway.
So I said I'd help her...
if she could keep me and Ms. Jang safe.
Okay.
Call me at this number from now on.
(Attorney Han Moo Young)
Why do you dislike me?
Must I like you?
(Dajung Comic Books)
- As for Jay... - You don't need to explain.
I went to the auto shop to meet Na Sa.
But Jay was there.
Why did you bring him here?
If you went there to meet Na Sa,
why didn't you keep looking for him? We need to find him.
To drive Jang Kyung Ja crazy.
I'm sure Na Sa is busy gambling away.
He said that he'd go back...
to Jeokmok.
He said he'd work at Navis Well-being.
Who's stupid enough to accept him?
I want to bring him back.
I want you to bring him back.
Not Jay. Na Sa.
- Hey. - Where are you?
I'm outside. I was about to go back.

(CEO Jang Kyung Ja)
The proposal that the financial director brought.
Tell him to bring it to me quietly.
Here's how they'll manipulate the stock price.
Ma Kang Soo has already chosen the stock item.
And he has his people ready.
We planted our informant in Stage Two.
It looks like an empty flash drive, but it's a hacking tool.
Spread them all around the building.
As long as the employees connect them to their computers,
we'll get access to their network.
Yeon Tae Hoon is going to work as a researcher...
to bring good news to the bio industry.
He hasn't gotten in touch with Ma Kang Soo's team yet.
They consider him as an outside adviser.
His men are always guarding his office.
Ma Kang Soo detects all wiretapping...
who enters and leaves his office.
All we can use is a recorder,
so we only have access to information...
that Mr. Yeon directly listens to.
It sounds like an impenetrable fortress.
Information protection is everything when it comes to stock manipulation,
since even leaking the stock item can ruin the plan.
Kang Soo is almost losing his mind.
Because he has to return to prison if he doesn't pull it off.
Can you even see with that?
We can listen.
Stand straight.
Get up.
Stand up.
Stand straight, punks.
Do you think you're working at a local store?
Would you pay for this much?
Would you?
We apologize.
And the daughter?
She said she'd text us the date of the meeting.
The daughter?
They're talking about the financier.
They need a large sum of money to move on to the next step.
They need seed money to secure a sufficient quantity of stocks.
So, they normally bring a financier.
The president isn't paying for it?
You never use your own money in stock price manipulation.
Ma Kang Soo's financier is Min Chae Pyo, the loan shark.
They've known each other since Darusa.
They must be close.
But while Kang Soo was imprisoned,
the domestic business went to Chae Pyo's daughter,
Min Kang Yoon.
That's why he called her the daughter?
Kang Soo is managing the business plan...
for the meeting with the financier.
The business plan?
"We're going to manipulate the price of this stock,"
"and we need this much budget."
"You give me money, and I'll work with these men..."
"to execute the manipulation plan."
Something like that.
It's basically a collection of evidence.
Yes. So, we're planning to get to the external hard drive...
that holds the business plan in excuse of file modification.
Once we get that,
we can control the whole operation.
I'd like to modify the file for the last time if you don't mind.
Send it to my email address.
Come in.
Yes.
Eat up. I have a meeting.
Yes, sir.
May I...
have the floor plan of this center?
- The floor plan? - Yes,
it would come in handy to plant the devices.
Wireless connection isn't that stable.
Fine.
I can get you a floor plan.
But...
the order seems off,
doesn't it?
Because I never got anything from you, Su Ho,
other than your requests.
When I bring you the floor plan,
how long will it take to monitor Kyung Ja's office?
Su Ho?
Sir.
I remember you.
You were very obedient when you were little.
And you were cute.
Do you know when you were the most obedient?
The day after you were beaten.
Do you still do that?
Well...
If you get me the floor plan,
I can install them that night.
Right away.
Good.
- Let's do that. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing?
Ro Um sent you, didn't she?
What?
This.
Who do you think made this?
It's an older model.
I'm pretty sure I told you guys...
not to put me in danger.
I'm with Mr. Ma right now.
If they find an informant,
who will they suspect first?
I don't know anything.
Even if I do this?
This is mine.
Go and tell Ro Um...
that I'll tell him everything if she doesn't quit.
Why is Su Ho siding with Kang Soo?
This is driving me insane.
She was supposed to text them the date of the meeting, right?
What's your plan?
First off,
ask Jay to send us the guard schedule.
Ro Um.
This is plan B.
(Jay)
Are you out of your mind?
Where do you think you are?
An auto shop.
You have no idea how crazy Kang Soo is right now.
Are you sure no one followed you?
I heard you're working with Ma Kang Soo.
Okay.
Take these. He'll suspect me if he finds these.
Are you trying to get me killed?
Get rid of these and back off.
Or I'll tattle. I'm serious.
Ma Kang Soo's meeting with the financier.
You'll stop the wrap-up?
I'm expecting the schedule to be relayed by text.
I need it.
What do you want?
I can't back out until I have that.
Are you here to blackmail me?
Did you put up a spy cam in Jang Kyung Ja's office?
You'll have to set it up at night.
Won't Security be an issue?
I'll send you their shift times.
Is this a trap?
It's not.
Da Jung doesn't want you to end up dead.
Ring Go keeps dreaming of you getting beaten up.
Lee Ro Um.
Were you really going to kill me?
No. Would I want to get arrested before meeting the president?
I did what I was trained to do.
I thought you'd listen.
Because of my servile nature?
Yes.
That goes for me too.
Good luck setting up the cameras and hang in there.
Hey.
You're not the kid you used to be.
Bite their leg if they beat you up.
What else are teeth for?
Why the serious face? I'm getting nervous.
Are you all right? You're not sick, are you?
What is Moo Young up to these days?
These days?
He said he was busy.
Yes, well...
He's not still tied up...
with stuff about Lee Ro Um, is he?
Come on. Gosh, no. No way.
Are you sure?
No.
He can't do that.
Moo Young...
has to stay away from Jeokmok and Lee Ro Um.
"Jeokmok?"
Look into it for me.
I want Moo Young to drop that case.
How did it go?
He'll have gotten the message.
Did Jay say anything?
He let me off quietly when I talked about you needing him.
What is he?
What do you mean?
What is he to you?
What's your relationship like?
I'm trying to understand.
I had a crush on him.
What?
I liked him at one time.
(Navis Well-being)
Director.
(Director Ma Kang Soo)
When you meet with Mr. Min,
would you need my assistance?
Come in.
Hey. You can put that down here.
Gosh.
This is the real deal.
Mandarins grown outdoors.
Have one.
No, thanks.
Do you not like mandarins?
Have one. It's my favorite fruit.
Here.
Come on.
Have one.
It's really sweet.
Is something bothering you?
No.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello.
How's Mr. Yeon?
Ma Kang Soo fired him today.
Is he okay?
Yes. He came by to drop this off,
but he looked sad.
Is that the last recording?
Yes. He said he got nothing so it's not worth listening to.
I'll have a listen anyway.
What for?
I'll listen to it at home. Email it to me.
Okay.
Is something bothering you?
No.
Come on, smile. It's a great day.
Other than not being able to smoke,
my life is so full.
Nothing beats being free and in good health.
Shall we wrap things up?
Does the name...
Yeon Ho Jung ring a bell?
Do you know it?
What's that?
Is it a person?
You ask...
a few too many questions these days.
Hello?
It's Han Moo Young.
You did well.
Thank you.
Yeon Ho Jung...
We'll remember her.
It's me.
I'll meet my father.
You're doing the right thing.
(Messages)
(Make sure you don't misplace your phone.)
(I trust that you know what to do.)
(You will be paid in full in cash.)
(Thank you for your hard work.)
Ma Kang Soo's meeting with the financier.
I'm expecting the schedule to be relayed by text.
I need it.
You're not the kid you used to be.
Bite their leg if they beat you up.
What else are teeth for?
(CEO Ma Kang Soo)
Come in.
Well...
I need your phone for a moment.
I'll set it up so you can see Jang Kyung Ja's office on your phone.
- You already took care of it? - Yes.
(Chats)
(Your order has been shipped.)

(Mr. Park, CEO Oh Seok Hyun)
(Hello, Mr. Ma. This is Kim Chang Soo from Gyeongwi Construction.)
(Wednesday February 8, Myungjin Garcia Club Lounge)
(Bring your invite, Min Kang Yoon's investment party)
It's done, sir.
Just press her a little,
and you'll soon see...
where she hid that important notebook.
Yes.
I hope it's somewhere in her office.
Give me a few more days,
and I can put a tracker too.
Su Ho, you're really good at what you do.
All right. Well done.
You can go.
Kyung Ja.
I heard all about it.
What Ro Um nearly stole from you.
You see, here's what I think.
Knowing what kind of decision you made in such a situation,
I believe you've made a copy of it.
I'd say it's only a matter of time before I find it.
Wouldn't you agree?
What are you talking about?
I'm trying to provoke your biggest weakness right now.
And you know that too.
I don't care what you're up to these days,
but if you ruin my plans,
I can't let you walk away unscathed.
Do you think the game's over?
My gosh.
Kyung Ja!
You hate getting blood on your own hands.
So why are you obsessing over it?
You're not even ready to handle it.
Is that what you think?
You don't think I'm ready to handle it?
What, then?
Are you planning a coup or something?
Mr. Yoon took it. The revolver.
Bring it to me, and I'll believe...
what you said to me.
(Black Loans)
(Su Ho)
Ro Um.
(Wednesday February 8, Myungjin Garcia Club Lounge)
It's a networking event organized by Min Kang Yoon,
the daughter of Min Chae Pyo, Ma Kang Soo's financier.
She meets people she might do business with at parties like this.
If she meets someone she likes,
she'll open her wallet.
Ma Kang Soo needs 200 million dollars,
and she's the only person in the country who can lend him...
that kind of money, in cash.
In other words,
if he loses Min Kang Yoon,
his plan will go down the drain.
Then we'll have to make sure he loses her.
Ma Kang Soo will be very careful.
And so will we.
Then we'd have to attend that party ourselves.
Is there a way, though?
It looks very exclusive.
Yes, it is.
We can only get additional invites from VIP guests.
There's a name we know on the VIP guest list.
Professor Shin Seo Ra.
It's a party organized by a loan shark,
and Professor Shin was invited as a VIP guest?
My goodness.
I should go and turn her house upside down.
No, don't.
Don't turn it upside down.
What we need is an invitation.
And we need you, Mr. Ko.
Me? You need me?
We need a completely new face to pull this off.
And when you're asking Professor Shin for the invite,
you should tell her that you'll be attending the party yourself.
What? Seriously...
Why are you doing this to me?
You need to find a partner too.
You can't do this alone.
Mr. Han.
Don't do this to me, okay?
Just take me out for dinner to repay me.
I'm free next weekend.
Can't you think like normal people do?
I'm giving you a chance, you see.
A chance to make up for your past mistakes.
Why on earth are you a VIP guest at a party organized by a loan shark?
We shall leave that out of the discussion for now.
Won't you need my help there?
I really am going to help you.
As for the dinner, bring Jae In along.
Mo Jae In? Why?
When you two met...
What did you talk about?
Something that you're not ashamed of at all, Professor Shin.
Unlike you, she was very ashamed of it.
Jae In...
She's nice, isn't she?
Goodness.
Well, what is this about?
You're getting defensive.
Call me...
when you get your hands on another invitation.
Let's go for lunch.
Dr. Mo.
What?
- Sure. - What?
Are you sure?
You know what Professor Shin is thinking.
What is she thinking?
I know she's difficult.
You can't persuade her without conceding to her request.
But she's fond of me, you know.
Right. That's why you fascinate me.
When Professor Shin says she likes someone, I can't stand them.
But you...
Well, you don't really seem like Professor Shin's type.
She even hates me, her own son.
What do you mean she hates you? She loves you very much.
You see, Professor Shin is an amazing actress.
She's been hosting that talk show for over 20 years,
looking like Mother Teresa.
I've known her all my life,
but I still feel so uncomfortable around her.
I guess I should build my inner strength.
It's because you two are family.
Dealing with your family is hard.
Don't blame it on yourself.
Are you really going to have dinner with me and Professor Shin?
Yes!
Are you not afraid of what she might do after that?
I can't control what she'll do.
At the end of the day, I can help them by doing this,
so I want to do it.
You're so cool.
Do you want to go to the party with me?
Do you need anything?
He never locked his office before.
Why did he lock it now?
I think he's recently started locking it.
If he's suspended,
he shouldn't print any pages, should he?
Am I wrong?
And he can't tell what Ms. Park to do.
I'm fine with it.
Mr. Cho recently lost a case,
so I have some time left.
What's wrong?
Well, I wouldn't know since I've never been suspended.
But how is a suspended lawyer...
so busy?
He's got something going on.
Do you know anything?
What? Well, no.
Last time, I had mold at my house, so I asked him...
if I could stay at his company house for a few days.
And he said no. He doesn't even own that house.
(Prosecutor Ryu Jae Hyuk)
What are you doing? What's going on?
Your cases have been transferred.
Why?
Says who?
(Chief Prosecutor Jang Soo Heon)
You should take on bigger cases now.
Bigger cases?
You're not so quick-witted, are you?
I had a hunch.
I saw you struggling to find the right connections.
I'm not following you, sir.
Why are you investigating Navis Well-being?
Wasn't that to help me acknowledge you?
No, about Navis Well-being...
Spend some time in the countryside.
The countryside?
It's the director's orders.
A lot of things will have been cleared up by the time you return.
Pardon?
You'll have my support, so steer clear for some time.
Was this it?
Did I...
just find myself a connection?
I was sick of having my son move schools...
and being a weekend couple.
I thought that I could do something to impress you...
to get the perfect attendance award or something.
And I found a connection.
So, what I did wasn't the point.
It was about who I investigated.
Are you thanking me or being sarcastic?
Why don't you take a guess?
- Mr. Han. - Mr. Ryu.
I'm going.
I apologize.
Who am I to blame anyone?
You gave me a choice.
But they won't. So, whatever.

(Spot Inspection)
Such an unfortunate story is too valuable.
I'll drive her home.
Hey.
I had a look.
- You see... - No need to explain.
They were all here.
That's a poor girl, Ro Um.
No wonder you set out to help her.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing to me?
Because when I was helping others at the expense of my career,
you were the one who brought me to the firm to stop me.
When I was suffering, you found me a therapist,
got me this house, and worried about me.
I'm sorry that I may make you feel like that was all in vain.
So, you're denying them?
Are you even getting better?
You're still getting treatment, right?
Why won't you? Are you cured?
You were cured, and one client got to you,
so you were still helping her even after your suspension?
I tried to cure my illness...
because I hated myself.
I loathed myself.
As long as I had that syndrome,
I was useless, as my father said.
I became a lawyer to help others,
and I only got in their way because of my illness.
When I tried to cure my illness, the clients got in my way.
I was hopeless.
What's the point of being a useless lawyer...
when I don't even know how long it will take to cure me?
I have...
never seen a lawyer as competent as you.
You knew that I picked my clients.
I picked them for you.
I'm not trying to blame you.
Even if I fail as a lawyer...
No matter how reckless it is,
I decided to accept myself for who I am.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Cue!
Hello?
You told me to reach you with this number, right?
You may speak.
Can you tell Ro Um...
that I'm going to be late with the thing that she asked?
"The thing?"
Yes.
All right.
What's up?
What is it?
What did you ask Jay for?
Ro Um,
you have absolutely no trust in me.
What are you talking about?
You told me that there would be a better ending.
Yet, you still look for that revolver...
and trust that man for willing to bring you that.
Doesn't that mean that you don't trust me?
Why can't you answer me?
What answer do you want?
That I trust you?
Yes. That's the answer I want.
That I trust you when you say that you can take down...
the president without any bloodshed?
Why can't you believe it?
See how many people...
are sympathizing with what you started.
Do you still not get that there are people who care about you?
If emotional nonsense got you revenge,
all this would've ended long ago.
How much longer will you do...
as you were trained at Jeokmok?
How much longer will you believe that's right?
I told you that...
I was always like this.
No, you weren't.
When did we meet that you dare say that about me?
The sympathizing that you say you do.
Does it make you set fire to parents you met after ten years,
or does it make you...
dream of it every night for ten years?
Were you in my shoes?
Do you think you know me because you read my file...
and knew me for a few months?
You're mistaken.
It's imagination, not sympathy.
It's not what you feel, it's a delusion.
That's why it's an illness.
The revenge I'm after.
Jay at least respects and understands.
That's the kind of help I need right now.
You remember the code.
What were you doing?
Take a shower.
Shall we watch a movie?
Is something wrong?
Something needs to be wrong to make you care.
I think I found a way.
What way?
I realized that...
I always survived.
I will again this time.
What are you planning?
I should prove my worth too.
To the president.
What will you do?
What about you?
What are you up to with Ro Um?
We just talked because of you.
Me too.
I'm doing this for us.
I'm sorry I had you followed.
But you should...
not see her.
I might...
do something to her.
Ms. Jang took it.
The revolver.
Ms. Jang asked for it.
Why are you out here?
I need you two to do recon.
To tap into the system.
(CEO Jang Kyung Ja)
(Director Ma Kang Soo)
Get out and wait. I'll park the car.
Did you hear me?
Why don't you like Jay?
What is it you want to say?
- Are you angry? - Yes.
Fine.
I get why you felt that way as a kid.
You might have had no one...
to understand you or treat you as an equal.
There was someone.
Just one person.
While everyone else considered me a clown.
Good.
Remember that person from now on.
Not people like Jay.
Whoever you like and need,
that's up to you, and I respect that.
But the one who'll stay to the end and help you.
It's me, not Jay.
So you'd better not talk to me...
like we'll never meet again.
What does the ring look like?
It's an ordinary ring, but it's important to me.
You said it was an engagement ring.
Do you not have a photo of it?
We can look for it. You don't have to worry.
I can't let you in. It's against the rules.
We just want to look around the room.
Will you write down your details...
and when and where you lost it?
Okay.
Where's the ladies' room?
Ro Um, it's me.
Are you in there?
Are you done?
Ask the front desk if anyone reported something they found,
and just in case,
check the restrooms too.
Let's get out of here. I know a place you can hide.
Let's get out of here.
Ro Um.
Our final guest is number 25.
What can you tell us about number 25,
Lee Ro Um?
Do you remember...
picking my number?
What is it?
It is you.
It's you, isn't it?
Number 25.
Yes.
(Delightfully Deceitful)
(Special thanks to actor Ahn Nae Sang.)
Starting with the party,
we'll cause a rift between them.
So that eventually, the investment falls through.
It looks like game over, so quit trying.
That guy. It's not just business, is it?
If Min Kang Yoon doesn't pay up today,
you and Kyung Ja die at my hand today.
I shouldn't give the money to Ma Kang Soo?
I have a bomb I plan to drop on the wrap-up day.
I'm considering making a deal with you.
Who called?
(I discern lies for you.)
A liar hunter?
I became able to discern lies.
It's this person.
It's true. It's a lie.
You can tell truth from lies just by listening?
It is what I say it is.

What are you doing?
- Careful. - Oh, no.
Keep your legs steady. Gosh.
- What is this? - Oh, no!
- Wait, hold on. - Hey!
Ma'am! She's right there.
- Goodness. Sir, watch your feet. - Let go of me.
The car is right here, sir.
Watch your head. Be careful.
There, let's go. Oh, boy.
You won't have met. Say hi.
It's Jay.
We meet again.
First, I need you to tell me...
what it is that Ro Um tried to steal from Kyung Ja.
- A notebook. - A notebook?
Yes. Director An Chae Hong's notebook.
Jeokmok's ledger?
Kyung Ja already handed that over to the president.
The last remaining one. Only Jang Kyung Ja knows about it.
The last remaining one?
Yes.
Then why is Ro Um so determined to find it?
It contains info on the identity of the president.
So Kyung Ja knows who the president is?
Yes.
Where is it now?
That I don't know.
Oh, right. Jang Kyung Ja took it back.
That was the last time I saw it.
And I bet that's how I got out. Am I right?
My, Kyung Ja is one scary woman.
Sneaking that out is one thing,
but causing all this mess after holding onto it for this long...
How about you work with me once more?
What do you say, Su Ho?
Pardon me?
Whether Kyung Ja has hidden the notebook...
or has a copy,
I believe that notebook is all we need...
to finish her off for good.
Then there will be nothing stopping us.
You can plant a camera in Kyung Ja's room, right?
You're good at making that stuff.
The kind with audio, of course.
What do you mean?
He'll help us?
Yes, you heard me right.
Did you guys decide this together?
Ro Um.
Let's talk.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Did you reach out to him? Or did he come to you?
(Auto Repair)
We met by chance.
Then whose idea was it? Him helping us.
There's something I can help you with.
And I agree.
It won't be bad to have one of Jang Kyung Ja's men on the team.
You always do this, Ro Um.
You believe that your goal can justify the means.
I do?
I thought we were done talking about issues like this.
Yeon Tae Hoon.
You think he's like Yeon Tae Hoon?
How could you trust him?
Didn't you say you couldn't relate to Yeon Tae Hoon at all?
He beat up Ring Go without batting an eye.
What do you think the Jeokmok Kids were all about?
Jay was trained to kill.
And we were taught to punish each other. That was our rule.
Ring Go knows that too.
It's not about whether or not he knows the rule.
Are you saying we should be grateful that he didn't kill Ring Go?
All will be fine if Jay follows the rules.
On what grounds are you saying this?
I'm basing my decision on my faith stemming from my experience.
"Faith?"
Ro Um, if you must get him involved,
- I decide the rules. - What?
As of this moment, you won't talk to him.
I'll talk to him.
That's fine, right?
You and I are a team anyway.
The revolver.
Find my revolver.
I guess you guys rely a lot on that lawyer.
Well, he's a good guy.
Shall we step out? If you're uncomfortable here.
Why are you asking me? I'm not Ring Go.
Shall we step out?
No. I mean... Sure, if you want to step out.
Why are you here?
I kept being reminded of the old days.
As you know, I'm indebted to Ro Um, just like you guys.
Did you always talk so politely to me?
I've never once talked casually to you.
So I guess you haven't told her.
She thinks we've never met before.
That's right. Not yet.
Why are you saying you want to help us?
Did Ro Um not tell you?
I must hear it directly from you.
The president chose Ma Kang Soo instead of Ms. Jang,
which means she'll be put in danger after the wrap-up.
Ro Um is after the president anyway.
So I said I'd help her...
if she could keep me and Ms. Jang safe.
Okay.
Call me at this number from now on.
(Attorney Han Moo Young)
Why do you dislike me?
Must I like you?
(Dajung Comic Books)
- As for Jay... - You don't need to explain.
I went to the auto shop to meet Na Sa.
But Jay was there.
Why did you bring him here?
If you went there to meet Na Sa,
why didn't you keep looking for him? We need to find him.
To drive Jang Kyung Ja crazy.
I'm sure Na Sa is busy gambling away.
He said that he'd go back...
to Jeokmok.
He said he'd work at Navis Well-being.
Who's stupid enough to accept him?
I want to bring him back.
I want you to bring him back.
Not Jay. Na Sa.
- Hey. - Where are you?
I'm outside. I was about to go back.
(Mr. Park)

(CEO Jang Kyung Ja)
The proposal that the financial director brought.
Tell him to bring it to me quietly.
Here's how they'll manipulate the stock price.
Ma Kang Soo has already chosen the stock item.
And he has his people ready.
We planted our informant in Stage Two.
It looks like an empty flash drive, but it's a hacking tool.
Spread them all around the building.
As long as the employees connect them to their computers,
we'll get access to their network.
Yeon Tae Hoon is going to work as a researcher...
to bring good news to the bio industry.
He hasn't gotten in touch with Ma Kang Soo's team yet.
They consider him as an outside adviser.
His men are always guarding his office.
Ma Kang Soo detects all wiretapping...
who enters and leaves his office.
All we can use is a recorder,
so we only have access to information...
that Mr. Yeon directly listens to.
It sounds like an impenetrable fortress.
Information protection is everything when it comes to stock manipulation,
since even leaking the stock item can ruin the plan.
Kang Soo is almost losing his mind.
Because he has to return to prison if he doesn't pull it off.
Can you even see with that?
We can listen.
Stand straight.
Get up.
Stand up.
Stand straight, punks.
Do you think you're working at a local store?
Would you pay for this much?
Would you?
We apologize.
And the daughter?
She said she'd text us the date of the meeting.
The daughter?
They're talking about the financier.
They need a large sum of money to move on to the next step.
They need seed money to secure a sufficient quantity of stocks.
So, they normally bring a financier.
The president isn't paying for it?
You never use your own money in stock price manipulation.
Ma Kang Soo's financier is Min Chae Pyo, the loan shark.
They've known each other since Darusa.
They must be close.
But while Kang Soo was imprisoned,
the domestic business went to Chae Pyo's daughter,
Min Kang Yoon.
That's why he called her the daughter?
Kang Soo is managing the business plan...
for the meeting with the financier.
The business plan?
"We're going to manipulate the price of this stock,"
"and we need this much budget."
"You give me money, and I'll work with these men..."
"to execute the manipulation plan."
Something like that.
It's basically a collection of evidence.
Yes. So, we're planning to get to the external hard drive...
that holds the business plan in excuse of file modification.
Once we get that,
we can control the whole operation.
I'd like to modify the file for the last time if you don't mind.
Send it to my email address.
Come in.
Yes.
Eat up. I have a meeting.
Yes, sir.
May I...
have the floor plan of this center?
- The floor plan? - Yes,
it would come in handy to plant the devices.
Wireless connection isn't that stable.
Fine.
I can get you a floor plan.
But...
the order seems off,
doesn't it?
Because I never got anything from you, Su Ho,
other than your requests.
When I bring you the floor plan,
how long will it take to monitor Kyung Ja's office?
Su Ho?
Sir.
I remember you.
You were very obedient when you were little.
And you were cute.
Do you know when you were the most obedient?
The day after you were beaten.
Do you still do that?
Well...
If you get me the floor plan,
I can install them that night.
Right away.
Good.
- Let's do that. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing?
Ro Um sent you, didn't she?
What?
This.
Who do you think made this?
It's an older model.
I'm pretty sure I told you guys...
not to put me in danger.
I'm with Mr. Ma right now.
If they find an informant,
who will they suspect first?
I don't know anything.
Even if I do this?
This is mine.
Go and tell Ro Um...
that I'll tell him everything if she doesn't quit.
Why is Su Ho siding with Kang Soo?
This is driving me insane.
She was supposed to text them the date of the meeting, right?
What's your plan?
First off,
ask Jay to send us the guard schedule.
Ro Um.
This is plan B.
(Jay)
Are you out of your mind?
Where do you think you are?
An auto shop.
You have no idea how crazy Kang Soo is right now.
Are you sure no one followed you?
I heard you're working with Ma Kang Soo.
Okay.
Take these. He'll suspect me if he finds these.
Are you trying to get me killed?
Get rid of these and back off.
Or I'll tattle. I'm serious.
Ma Kang Soo's meeting with the financier.
You'll stop the wrap-up?
I'm expecting the schedule to be relayed by text.
I need it.
What do you want?
I can't back out until I have that.
Are you here to blackmail me?
Did you put up a spy cam in Jang Kyung Ja's office?
You'll have to set it up at night.
Won't Security be an issue?
I'll send you their shift times.
Is this a trap?
It's not.
Da Jung doesn't want you to end up dead.
Ring Go keeps dreaming of you getting beaten up.
Lee Ro Um.
Were you really going to kill me?
No. Would I want to get arrested before meeting the president?
I did what I was trained to do.
I thought you'd listen.
Because of my servile nature?
Yes.
That goes for me too.
Good luck setting up the cameras and hang in there.
Hey.
You're not the kid you used to be.
Bite their leg if they beat you up.
What else are teeth for?
Why the serious face? I'm getting nervous.
Are you all right? You're not sick, are you?
What is Moo Young up to these days?
These days?
He said he was busy.
Yes, well...
He's not still tied up...
with stuff about Lee Ro Um, is he?
Come on. Gosh, no. No way.
Are you sure?
No.
He can't do that.
Moo Young...
has to stay away from Jeokmok and Lee Ro Um.
"Jeokmok?"
Look into it for me.
I want Moo Young to drop that case.
How did it go?
He'll have gotten the message.
Did Jay say anything?
He let me off quietly when I talked about you needing him.
What is he?
What do you mean?
What is he to you?
What's your relationship like?
I'm trying to understand.
I had a crush on him.
What?
I liked him at one time.
(Navis Well-being)
Director.
(Director Ma Kang Soo)
When you meet with Mr. Min,
would you need my assistance?
Come in.
Hey. You can put that down here.
Gosh.
This is the real deal.
Mandarins grown outdoors.
Have one.
No, thanks.
Do you not like mandarins?
Have one. It's my favorite fruit.
Here.
Come on.
Have one.
It's really sweet.
Is something bothering you?
No.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello.
How's Mr. Yeon?
Ma Kang Soo fired him today.
Is he okay?
Yes. He came by to drop this off,
but he looked sad.
Is that the last recording?
Yes. He said he got nothing so it's not worth listening to.
I'll have a listen anyway.
What for?
I'll listen to it at home. Email it to me.
Okay.
Is something bothering you?
No.
Come on, smile. It's a great day.
Other than not being able to smoke,
my life is so full.
Nothing beats being free and in good health.
Shall we wrap things up?
Does the name...
Yeon Ho Jung ring a bell?
Do you know it?
What's that?
Is it a person?
You ask...
a few too many questions these days.
Hello?
It's Han Moo Young.
You did well.
Thank you.
Yeon Ho Jung...
We'll remember her.
It's me.
I'll meet my father.
You're doing the right thing.
(Messages)
(Make sure you don't misplace your phone.)
(I trust that you know what to do.)
(You will be paid in full in cash.)
(Thank you for your hard work.)
Ma Kang Soo's meeting with the financier.
I'm expecting the schedule to be relayed by text.
I need it.
You're not the kid you used to be.
Bite their leg if they beat you up.
What else are teeth for?
(CEO Ma Kang Soo)
Come in.
Well...
I need your phone for a moment.
I'll set it up so you can see Jang Kyung Ja's office on your phone.
- You already took care of it? - Yes.
(Chats)
(Your order has been shipped.)

(Hello, Mr. Ma. This is Kim Chang Soo from Gyeongwi Construction.)
(Wednesday February 8, Myungjin Garcia Club Lounge)
(Bring your invite, Min Kang Yoon's investment party)
It's done, sir.
Just press her a little,
and you'll soon see...
where she hid that important notebook.
Yes.
I hope it's somewhere in her office.
Give me a few more days,
and I can put a tracker too.
Su Ho, you're really good at what you do.
All right. Well done.
You can go.
Kyung Ja.
I heard all about it.
What Ro Um nearly stole from you.
You see, here's what I think.
Knowing what kind of decision you made in such a situation,
I believe you've made a copy of it.
I'd say it's only a matter of time before I find it.
Wouldn't you agree?
What are you talking about?
I'm trying to provoke your biggest weakness right now.
And you know that too.
I don't care what you're up to these days,
but if you ruin my plans,
I can't let you walk away unscathed.
Do you think the game's over?
My gosh.
Kyung Ja!
You hate getting blood on your own hands.
So why are you obsessing over it?
You're not even ready to handle it.
Is that what you think?
You don't think I'm ready to handle it?
What, then?
Are you planning a coup or something?
Mr. Yoon took it. The revolver.
Bring it to me, and I'll believe...
what you said to me.
(Black Loans)
(Su Ho)
Ro Um.
(Wednesday February 8, Myungjin Garcia Club Lounge)
It's a networking event organized by Min Kang Yoon,
the daughter of Min Chae Pyo, Ma Kang Soo's financier.
She meets people she might do business with at parties like this.
If she meets someone she likes,
she'll open her wallet.
Ma Kang Soo needs 200 million dollars,
and she's the only person in the country who can lend him...
that kind of money, in cash.
In other words,
if he loses Min Kang Yoon,
his plan will go down the drain.
Then we'll have to make sure he loses her.
Ma Kang Soo will be very careful.
And so will we.
Then we'd have to attend that party ourselves.
Is there a way, though?
It looks very exclusive.
Yes, it is.
We can only get additional invites from VIP guests.
There's a name we know on the VIP guest list.
Professor Shin Seo Ra.
It's a party organized by a loan shark,
and Professor Shin was invited as a VIP guest?
My goodness.
I should go and turn her house upside down.
No, don't.
Don't turn it upside down.
What we need is an invitation.
And we need you, Mr. Ko.
Me? You need me?
We need a completely new face to pull this off.
And when you're asking Professor Shin for the invite,
you should tell her that you'll be attending the party yourself.
What? Seriously...
Why are you doing this to me?
You need to find a partner too.
You can't do this alone.
Mr. Han.
Don't do this to me, okay?
Just take me out for dinner to repay me.
I'm free next weekend.
Can't you think like normal people do?
I'm giving you a chance, you see.
A chance to make up for your past mistakes.
Why on earth are you a VIP guest at a party organized by a loan shark?
We shall leave that out of the discussion for now.
Won't you need my help there?
I really am going to help you.
As for the dinner, bring Jae In along.
Mo Jae In? Why?
When you two met...
What did you talk about?
Something that you're not ashamed of at all, Professor Shin.
Unlike you, she was very ashamed of it.
Jae In...
She's nice, isn't she?
Goodness.
Well, what is this about?
You're getting defensive.
Call me...
when you get your hands on another invitation.
Let's go for lunch.
Dr. Mo.
What?
- Sure. - What?
Are you sure?
You know what Professor Shin is thinking.
What is she thinking?
I know she's difficult.
You can't persuade her without conceding to her request.
But she's fond of me, you know.
Right. That's why you fascinate me.
When Professor Shin says she likes someone, I can't stand them.
But you...
Well, you don't really seem like Professor Shin's type.
She even hates me, her own son.
What do you mean she hates you? She loves you very much.
You see, Professor Shin is an amazing actress.
She's been hosting that talk show for over 20 years,
looking like Mother Teresa.
I've known her all my life,
but I still feel so uncomfortable around her.
I guess I should build my inner strength.
It's because you two are family.
Dealing with your family is hard.
Don't blame it on yourself.
Are you really going to have dinner with me and Professor Shin?
Yes!
Are you not afraid of what she might do after that?
I can't control what she'll do.
At the end of the day, I can help them by doing this,
so I want to do it.
You're so cool.
Do you want to go to the party with me?
Do you need anything?
He never locked his office before.
Why did he lock it now?
I think he's recently started locking it.
If he's suspended,
he shouldn't print any pages, should he?
Am I wrong?
And he can't tell what Ms. Park to do.
I'm fine with it.
Mr. Cho recently lost a case,
so I have some time left.
What's wrong?
Well, I wouldn't know since I've never been suspended.
But how is a suspended lawyer...
so busy?
He's got something going on.
Do you know anything?
What? Well, no.
Last time, I had mold at my house, so I asked him...
if I could stay at his company house for a few days.
And he said no. He doesn't even own that house.
(Prosecutor Ryu Jae Hyuk)
What are you doing? What's going on?
Your cases have been transferred.
Why?
Says who?
(Chief Prosecutor Jang Soo Heon)
You should take on bigger cases now.
Bigger cases?
You're not so quick-witted, are you?
I had a hunch.
I saw you struggling to find the right connections.
I'm not following you, sir.
Why are you investigating Navis Well-being?
Wasn't that to help me acknowledge you?
No, about Navis Well-being...
Spend some time in the countryside.
The countryside?
It's the director's orders.
A lot of things will have been cleared up by the time you return.
Pardon?
You'll have my support, so steer clear for some time.
Was this it?
Did I...
just find myself a connection?
I was sick of having my son move schools...
and being a weekend couple.
I thought that I could do something to impress you...
to get the perfect attendance award or something.
And I found a connection.
So, what I did wasn't the point.
It was about who I investigated.
Are you thanking me or being sarcastic?
Why don't you take a guess?
- Mr. Han. - Mr. Ryu.
I'm going.
I apologize.
Who am I to blame anyone?
You gave me a choice.
But they won't. So, whatever.
(Park and Cue Law Firm)

Such an unfortunate story is too valuable.
I'll drive her home.
Hey.
I had a look.
- You see... - No need to explain.
They were all here.
That's a poor girl, Ro Um.
No wonder you set out to help her.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing to me?
Because when I was helping others at the expense of my career,
you were the one who brought me to the firm to stop me.
When I was suffering, you found me a therapist,
got me this house, and worried about me.
I'm sorry that I may make you feel like that was all in vain.
So, you're denying them?
Are you even getting better?
You're still getting treatment, right?
Why won't you? Are you cured?
You were cured, and one client got to you,
so you were still helping her even after your suspension?
I tried to cure my illness...
because I hated myself.
I loathed myself.
As long as I had that syndrome,
I was useless, as my father said.
I became a lawyer to help others,
and I only got in their way because of my illness.
When I tried to cure my illness, the clients got in my way.
I was hopeless.
What's the point of being a useless lawyer...
when I don't even know how long it will take to cure me?
I have...
never seen a lawyer as competent as you.
You knew that I picked my clients.
I picked them for you.
I'm not trying to blame you.
Even if I fail as a lawyer...
No matter how reckless it is,
I decided to accept myself for who I am.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Cue!
Hello?
You told me to reach you with this number, right?
You may speak.
Can you tell Ro Um...
that I'm going to be late with the thing that she asked?
"The thing?"
Yes.
All right.
What's up?
What is it?
What did you ask Jay for?
Ro Um,
you have absolutely no trust in me.
What are you talking about?
You told me that there would be a better ending.
Yet, you still look for that revolver...
and trust that man for willing to bring you that.
Doesn't that mean that you don't trust me?
Why can't you answer me?
What answer do you want?
That I trust you?
Yes. That's the answer I want.
That I trust you when you say that you can take down...
the president without any bloodshed?
Why can't you believe it?
See how many people...
are sympathizing with what you started.
Do you still not get that there are people who care about you?
If emotional nonsense got you revenge,
all this would've ended long ago.
How much longer will you do...
as you were trained at Jeokmok?
How much longer will you believe that's right?
I told you that...
I was always like this.
No, you weren't.
When did we meet that you dare say that about me?
The sympathizing that you say you do.
Does it make you set fire to parents you met after ten years,
or does it make you...
dream of it every night for ten years?
Were you in my shoes?
Do you think you know me because you read my file...
and knew me for a few months?
You're mistaken.
It's imagination, not sympathy.
It's not what you feel, it's a delusion.
That's why it's an illness.
The revenge I'm after.
Jay at least respects and understands.
That's the kind of help I need right now.
You remember the code.
What were you doing?
Take a shower.
Shall we watch a movie?
Is something wrong?
Something needs to be wrong to make you care.
I think I found a way.
What way?
I realized that...
I always survived.
I will again this time.
What are you planning?
I should prove my worth too.
To the president.
What will you do?
What about you?
What are you up to with Ro Um?
We just talked because of you.
Me too.
I'm doing this for us.
I'm sorry I had you followed.
But you should...
not see her.
I might...
do something to her.
Ms. Jang took it.
The revolver.
Ms. Jang asked for it.
Why are you out here?
I need you two to do recon.
To tap into the system.
(CEO Jang Kyung Ja)
(Director Ma Kang Soo)
Get out and wait. I'll park the car.
Did you hear me?
Why don't you like Jay?
What is it you want to say?
- Are you angry? - Yes.
Fine.
I get why you felt that way as a kid.
You might have had no one...
to understand you or treat you as an equal.
There was someone.
Just one person.
While everyone else considered me a clown.
Good.
Remember that person from now on.
Not people like Jay.
Whoever you like and need,
that's up to you, and I respect that.
But the one who'll stay to the end and help you.
It's me, not Jay.
So you'd better not talk to me...
like we'll never meet again.
What does the ring look like?
It's an ordinary ring, but it's important to me.
You said it was an engagement ring.
Do you not have a photo of it?
We can look for it. You don't have to worry.
I can't let you in. It's against the rules.
We just want to look around the room.
Will you write down your details...
and when and where you lost it?
Okay.
Where's the ladies' room?
Ro Um, it's me.
Are you in there?
Are you done?
Ask the front desk if anyone reported something they found,
and just in case,
check the restrooms too.
Let's get out of here. I know a place you can hide.
Let's get out of here.
Ro Um.
Our final guest is number 25.
What can you tell us about number 25,
Lee Ro Um?
Do you remember...
picking my number?
What is it?
It is you.
It's you, isn't it?
Number 25.
Yes.
(Delightfully Deceitful)
(Special thanks to actor Ahn Nae Sang.)
Starting with the party,
we'll cause a rift between them.
So that eventually, the investment falls through.
It looks like game over, so quit trying.
That guy. It's not just business, is it?
If Min Kang Yoon doesn't pay up today,
you and Kyung Ja die at my hand today.
I shouldn't give the money to Ma Kang Soo?
I have a bomb I plan to drop on the wrap-up day.
I'm considering making a deal with you.
Who called?
(I discern lies for you.)
A liar hunter?
I became able to discern lies.
It's this person.
It's true. It's a lie.
You can tell truth from lies just by listening?
It is what I say it is.
