Delightfully Deceitful (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
(Delightfully Deceitful)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(Child actors filmed in safety.)
It's you, isn't it?
Number 25.
Yes.
(Episode 12)
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't keep it from you.
I told you I was in the audience.
I believe I told you I saw you as a kid,
that I knew you.
I didn't think you'd remember my number.
I thought it meant nothing to you.
Let's go.
You're just the same, then and now.
People who appear suddenly and offer to help.
I thought of you sometimes because I doubted the purpose.
But...
no one will know unless you tell people.
It's too scary...
by yourself.
And it's lonely.
You said you were lonely and scared. I believe that.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Why do you think 99.9 percent of stock manipulation scams fail?
- Fraud? - Internal discord.
Ma Kang Soo needs money to obtain shares,
and financier Min Kang Yoon has the money.
Starting with the party, we'll cause a rift between them.
Min Kang Yoon was divorced twice.
Both men were younger, rich,
and shared her interests.
She married them both a month after meeting them.
She must believe in fate.
What are her interests?
Her father made her travel as a kid,
so she's practically a foreigner.
She mainly speaks German and English.
We know who to send in, then.
That means Ko Yo Han and his partner...
will mark Ma Kang Soo.
Will he bring someone we can trust?
He will.
(Min Kang Yoon)
You'll bring whom?
Why ask when you heard the first time?
Why would you drag her into this?
You told me to bring a partner.
You could bring someone, anyone you happen to know.
I know her.
- She's my shrink. - Not anymore.
Exactly.
How could you involve her when she's no longer my shrink?
It's dangerous.
Wait.
I'm almost hurt.
You dragged me in like it was nothing.
The danger level isn't much different...
from what you already do.
Should I even have to listen to this?
I got you the invitation.
Plus, I'm a very valuable player.
My gosh.
Han Moo Young.
Han Moo Young.
Get a grip.
You should thank me.
"Thank you, Yo Han." Go on, say it.
What?
Say it.
"Thank you, Yo Han." Say it.
Gosh, this setup is incredible.
- We're Yoo Il... - And Yoo Neung.
Hello. I'm Ko Yo Han.
Those two?
"Those two?"
Do you people never thank others?
The psychiatrist I mentioned.
I'm Mo Jae In.
Ms. Jung.
I heard. It's okay.
Doctor, you must know me too, then.
Multilingual?
That's the backdrop of our project.
You two will mark Ma Kang Soo.
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
Cryptocurrency? Coins?
It gained popularity...
while Ma was in prison, so he'll be very interested.
Anything else,
he'll look down on and think they're beneath him.
Will he take a business card from a stranger?
Let's find out.
What...
- Hey. - What?
- Hey. - What?
Oh, dear.
Pass a handkerchief...
and card and offer to pay for dry-cleaning.
Ms. Mo, if you do it, Ma won't kill you, at least.
He believes he's a gentleman.
Did you have to actually do it?
Simulation.
Yes, but did you have to...
He said it was a simulation.
It has been over ten years,
but Ma Kang Soo might recognize us.
Whether we succeed or fail depends on...
how you do.
I'll monitor everything through the security cameras.
Yoo Il and Yoo Neung...
will control your movements on the floor.
We'll communicate with in-ear radios.
Then what about you two?
We'll feed info to Min Kang Yoon's acquaintances.
Causing a rift...
requires the help of gossip.
Will I need some self-defense moves?
You don't have to take lessons.
Okay.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Did you drive?
No, I took a bus.
This way?
No, this way.
- Get back safe. - Okay. See you.
Bye.
Should we say we're dating or married?
At the party.
We'll need a story of our own.
I'm...
anti-marriage.
Well,
I don't see why you should be that specific.
But anyway,
point taken.
Then...
let's say we're dating.
- Okay. - Okay.
You're a Korean-American CEO of a startup.
The Korean-American world is small,
so I'll give you an old ID.
Tread carefully.
Josh Hong.
Let's rehearse, then.
Too old-school.
Totally my style.
Too young-looking.
Totally my style.
A limited design watch from Min Kang Yoon's jewelry brand.
Do I look okay?
Is my suit here?
Bring it over.
It looks like it'll bring me 200 million dollars.
It's a two-track system.
To Min Kang Yoon, we'll send a fake...
who seems worth investing in and can replace Ma Kang Soo.
To Ma Kang Soo, we'll send a fake investor who seems credible.
We'll send viruses to both of them and ruin their relationship.
And consequently, their investment deal will fall through.
Everyone, to your position.
I got her on camera.
The host hasn't entered yet.
Yes.
This is the salad fork.
Oh, I see.
Salad, fish, dinner, dessert.
This one's the dinner fork.
But just use whatever you want. It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
Well, let's not thank each other.
Otherwise, I'd have to thank the experience of being caned...
for not being able to memorize such things as a kid.
Eat up.
Oh, you didn't know?
The newly appointed director of Navis served time for fraud.
- Fraud? - Yes.
They don't keep their financial structure transparent at all,
so I thought it might be risky.
I hear they're planning to branch out into bio this time.
We should be careful.
- Let's be careful. - It sounds risky.
Ma Kang Soo is entering now.
Hold him up while Blue moves in.
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
Find this.
(Exhibit 5512, Revolver)
You need to see this.
Oh, thank you.
Hello, sir. We have assorted desserts...
Would you like a little whiskey?
- I'll take it straight. - Sure.
Oh, my.
Enjoy.
Gosh! Oh, no.
My goodness. I'm so sorry.
Min Kang Yoon is here. Ring Go, be on standby.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's been a while. - You look stunning.
This is Josh. He said you two went to school in the same neighborhood.
Yes, in Karlsruhe.
I'm Josh Hong.
What's that watch you're wearing?
Oh, this. Someone gave it to me as a gift.
She's the CEO of that brand.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
A gift from a girlfriend?
An ex.
I'm really sorry!
Babe, I told you to come this way.
Gosh. Here, use this.
It's okay. It was just a mistake.
I apologize. I'll take care of the dry-cleaning fee.
You... Aren't you Yo Han?
I guess you know Yo Han.
I'll go.
Ro Um, I'm not her cup of tea.
I'm not Min Kang Yoon's type.
Sorry. I thought you were someone I knew.
What's your name? You're a new face.
You're Korean, right?
If not, just tell me. I can speak a few foreign languages.
Yes, I am Korean.
Good.
I'm Min Kang Yoon. I'm the one who organized this party.
I'm Bae Ha Na.
My, look at you. You're all grown up now.
No wonder you're here too. I saw Professor Shin over there.
My gosh. Your face hasn't changed one bit.
Mr. Ma.
Oh, Professor Shin.
My gosh.
It's been a while, Mr. Ma.
Gosh, pardon my messy shirt.
I was going to come over and say hello earlier.
I've been very busy, you know.
I see.
Anyway, your son is all grown up now.
I saw his photo from his college entrance ceremony.
Do you know me?
You brat!
I gave you pocket money and adored you when you were little.
You know this man too?
Is she your girlfriend?
Nice to meet you.
We're engaged.
I see. My gosh, Yo Han really is all grown up now.
Right?
This happened in the blink of an eye.
For real.
Invite me to your wedding. You have to, okay?
I'll be expecting an invitation. I'm serious.
I should go do something about my shirt.
I'll be in touch.
- Okay. - It was nice seeing you.
Will I get an invite too?
Hey, go to my car and get me a shirt.
Yes, there are some in the trunk. Get me a white one.
I'm in the men's room. Hurry.
Too bad that happened before you could even meet her.
I'm not sure if this will make you feel better,
but it looks like game over, so quit trying.
What are you talking about?
Min Kang Yoon.
Last year, she even rejected a candidate her father recommended.
This time, I hear she's decided...
to invest in some unicorn company she's obsessed with.
Is this credible information?
You know that she's very unpredictable.
With Min Kang Yoon, there's never a guarantee.
And who are you?
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
This is a boring party, no?
Sorry for throwing such a lame party.
It's fun.
I got to see you, Ms. Min.
Me?
Why?
Because you're...
a person who can give me what I need.
Do I look like a nice girl who will give you things?
Compared to your father, yes.
I have nothing, though.
Compared to my dad.
Kang Soo just stepped out of the bathroom.
Let's move for now.
Kang Soo is in the lobby.
He's entering. We need to hurry.
Wait.
You don't have a choice.
Exit through the emergency exit on your right.
Ms. Min.
Mr. Ma!
I love the atmosphere of this party.
It's all thanks to you.
You're welcome.
I guess Ms. Jang is not here yet.
Pardon?
Hi, there.
I'm sorry I didn't send you the invitation.
Don't be.
I'm here, aren't I?
- Mr. Ma. - Ms. Jang.
I was going to ask Mr. Ma for his understanding.
I see.
I called her urgently last night...
to tell her that we'd issue Navis Well-being's gift cards.
I thought that you should know.
Navis Well-being's gift cards?
The gift card project is pretty extensive.
I'm afraid it'll affect your business proposal.
Give my risk management team some time to review the plan.
Is that all right?
Sure. No problem.
Then, I'll get back to you on the 15th.
I'll be waiting.
Thanks for coming, Ms. Jang.
I'll see you next time, Mr. Ma.
What do you think you're doing?
Have you eventually lost your senses?
Why?
Are you worried that Kang Yoon will reject you?
You're out of your mind.
If she does reject you,
I'll let you in on my business.
You're welcome to take a spot.
Do your worst.
It's not over yet.
I'm going to get Kang Yoon, no matter what.
I can't go empty-handed.
Pull back, everyone.
Da Jung, find out where Kang Yoon is.
Get a taxi.
I thought you had gone home with that man.
Is he your boyfriend?
We're colleagues.
I wasn't lying about what I said earlier.
I have no money or power.
That's not entirely true.
All those people up there...
were there to talk to you.
You must want more than a talk, seeing that you've come this far.
How much do you need?
Let's meet once again.
Isn't it money that you want?
Well, it suits me.
But you only get one chance, okay?
Why do you unnecessarily attract people's attention?
I'm doing business. I need to make a profit.
Who asked you to make a profit?
Can't you see that doing nothing is our best option?
You walk into danger if you do nothing.
And you'll be deserted.
So, what exactly is it that you're trying to do?
Begging her to choose you?
What's so wrong with this when it's the same money?
My plan may work better.
That's not up to you.
You were out of options the moment Kang Soo emerged.
You're intentionally interrupting us wrap it up,
and it's dangerous.
Don't drag it out too long, and end it.
If this goes south,
you will not leave in one piece.
"We."
It's "we."
You wanted to flee together.
Then,
trust me, and wait.
I bet you told that girl the same thing.
Show me...
what's in your head.
I need to see everything...
so that I can trust you,
not the president.
Tell them...
to bring Su Ho to my office.
That guy with raggedy clothes on.
Yes, sir.
Shoot.
(Nasa Auto Shop)
Darn it.
How did Kyung Ja find out about that?
I wonder how she knew where I was and who I met.
I thought very hard about it,
and you were the only one who touched my phone.
You went through my text messages...
as you installed the security cameras, didn't you?
Did you or did you not?
Did you or did you not, you punk?
It wasn't me.
You won't say you didn't see it.
What about Mr. Min?
He said he'd be in touch.
He said you shouldn't worry too much.
It sounds like I should worry a bit.
You know how unpredictable she is.
To Min Kang Yoon, nothing is unconditional.
Make sure he doesn't leave my office.
Find out if this guy's real.
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
It launched this evening at nine.
They're large denominations, some worth 500 dollars.
Members can get them at a 20-percent discount,
and over 30,000 franchises or brands will accept them.
Who wouldn't buy one?
It's like cashing a bad check.
More and more people are applying for a membership,
and regional center members were told to sell a grand's worth.
I'd forgotten that...
Jang Kyung Ja was a con artist too.
If the president approves of her, she'll give him the profits,
and if not, she'll keep it for herself.
She's saying she won't go out without a fight.
Why be so irresponsible?
If the company doesn't pay up,
the business must shoulder the debt.
She doesn't have to think about that.
It's not worth caring.
They're ants she never sees.
We don't care or feel responsible if we step on an ant.
She feels the same about them.
A Navis investment briefing will go down in two weeks.
If Ma Kang Soo buys the shares with Min Kang Yoon's money,
reveals the company at the briefing,
and announces the merger,
stock prices will go up at least a few hundred percent.
Independent traders will flock too.
The gift cards will sell like crazy.
He can't do anything without Min's money.
Don't we just have to stop her from investing?
Someone clicked on the Blue website.
I think it was Ma checking it out.
He'll be looking for a contingency plan.
We should hear from him soon.
We should approach him somehow, just in case.
(CEO's Office)
I'm here to see Ms. Jang.
Outsiders are not allowed in.
"Outsider?"
You should remember your place.
I found a hidden camera in her office.
Do you know anything about it?
What are you getting at?
I'm asking if you had it installed.
Tell Kyung Ja that...
what she's doing is scoring an own goal.
If the wrap-up fails, there will be no getting out.
For you or for her.
(CEO's Office)
What is Min Kang Yoon thinking?
Isn't she supposed to call Ma Kang Soo by tomorrow?
But she scheduled to see Ro Um too?
Is she going to choose between the two?
We're done for if Blue doesn't work out.
(Incoming call)
The Blue Investment, Joshua speaking.
Yes, you can speak to me.
Tomorrow? Sure.
I'll talk to my boss and get back to you.
Yes. Thank you.
He bit. He took the bait.
Let's go set things up.
Okay.
Are you worried?
How do you seduce a woman?
I memorized everything about Min Kang Yoon,
but I still don't get it.
Have you seduced a woman?
Be honest.
You can't lie anyway.
I'm a great liar.
Have you? Seduced a woman?
I have.
How? With money?
I'll tell only you.
Tell me.
What do you need? Talk to me.
Sincerity.
Did you see Min's tattoo and necklace?
They all symbolize truth and transparency.
Her father's rich and powerful,
so I bet everyone approached her with an ulterior motive.
Even we approached her for a purpose.
So what?
Should a fraud become honest?
The truth is more powerful than you think.
For example?
For example...
What you said to me when you were nine.
My family...
can eat meat if I do this.
You truly cared about your parents...
and was willing to take someone else's outstretched hand.
That memory was so powerful,
ever since the day you were released,
I still saw you as the nine-year-old that I couldn't help.
Thanks for remembering me.
That day, and for a long time since,
I was unable to help others.
But inside me remains...
the 14-year-old who wants to help you.
That's silly.
What's going on?
I'm packing up to leave Korea.
I need to earn some time,
and the briefing needs to go well.
If not, Ms. Jang can't get out safely.
Are you asking me to give you two...
time to elope?
That was the condition.
That was your condition, not mine.
Does Jang Kyung Ja know what we're up to?
- No. - Why won't you tell her?
She'll think I'm doing it for you.
She's so stupid.
Does she not remember who you sided with...
ten years ago?
I'll give you the gun after the investment briefing.
That wasn't our deal.
I know what it means to you.
You looked so hard for it.
Does it matter when you get it?
When you have a weapon?
You can trust me.
(Navis Well-being Investment Briefing)
(Sending)
Da Jung, we're done setting things up.
Good job.
Wait.
(CEO Blue)
Su Ho.
Pass your boss a message.
If Min Kang Yoon doesn't pay me today,
you and Kyung Ja die at my hand today.
Okay?
(CEO Ma Kang Soo)
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
That style suits you too.
Drink up.
It's still bright outside.
I don't think I can be sober when I hear it. What you want from me.
What do you think it is?
Whatever it is,
I don't think it'll be something I want to hear.
Did you move here recently?
No.
Did you bring your business plan?
First, let's introduce ourselves properly.
You can never do business with someone you don't trust.
Drink up.
Down it even if you can't drink. To get what you want, that is.
Just drinking like this is no fun.
Let's play a game.
What kind of game?
Truth or dare.
Take a seat.
I see that you're quite impatient.
Why don't we relax and talk about some current events first?
I'm sure you already vetted me.
So there must be a reason why you came here.
Do I look like someone who has time to chitchat with you here?
Right.
I understand that you're a very successful man.
But you see,
I have my own values.
I can only do business with people who share the same values as mine.
Why did you get a divorce?
Shouldn't you be asking why I got married?
I already know the answer to that.
What is the answer?
Your lies.
I am...
a fraud.
I must take revenge,
and I need your help.
Please pick up, Ro Um.
The call cannot be connected. Please leave...
We'll just go there and get Na Sa.
We won't get in.
He won't actually kill him.
He will.
He is certainly capable of killing.
Have you ever killed anyone?
You see, this is what stresses me out the most.
They die so easily.
It's always those who can't handle the consequences...
that put in all their money.
Then they get greedy, so they take out a loan.
Then they just write a will.
"It's the company's fault. I'm the victim here."
Stupid cockroaches.
I wouldn't have had to go to jail if those idiots hadn't done that.
When you run a business, you can't put people first.
So I've decided to see it this way.
"I should..."
"buy up expensive lives to begin with."
I shouldn't give the money...
to Ma Kang Soo?
Ro Um.
Yes, talk.
You two aren't done yet, right?
Na Sa will die if the investment falls through.
Ma Kang Soo said he would kill him.
Be clear.
I told him I'd send the money on the dot.
What's she saying?
What is Ro Um saying?
Oh, boy.
I'm sorry.
Let's do business together...
another time.
We did it!
(150 million dollars has been deposited, )
(and we received a 50 million dollar check at the office.)
Send money to the boys. Let's get started.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Ro Um.
You made the right decision.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Yes, that's it.
Yes. That's right.
We did it.
(Yiyang Bio)
We did it!
What is the gain on this?
Hey, Su Ho. Your life has been spared.
Oh, my.
Yes, come in.
We need you in the lobby, sir.
Why?
What's up?
My gosh.
Hey, mister!
Hey, Ko Yo Han.
How have you been?
I heard one of the offenders I manage was here.
What? Offenders?
I guess you don't know.
I'm a probation officer.
Anyway, that's not important.
I'm here to pick up my precious offender.
Who is this offender?
The one in your office right now.
My goodness.
Is this how you usually do things? This is so random.
You didn't know?
I thought you knew me very well.
This is how I roll.
Did you bring a warrant?
Come on now.
Why do I need a warrant? I thought we were close.
I'll send you my wedding invitation.
A search warrant, you idiot.
I have no such thing, you idiot.
According to Article 40 of the Act on Probation,
I can arrest him immediately, you jerk.
All right, we're moving in now.
If you lay a finger on my boys here,
I'll report you to the police for obstructing justice.
I'll get on the floor and get obnoxious.
All these scenes are provided at a bargain...
unless you let us quietly take Mr. Na Su Ho.
Okay?
I have a very pleasant occasion today.
Right.
Open the gate.
This guy.
You've got guts.
Bye, mister!
(Na Su Ho, male)
Let's go.
It's Director Ma Kang Soo!
(Navis Well-being)
(Navis Well-being)
I'm glad to finally introduce myself.
I'm Ma Kang Soo.
While I was taking my time to reflect on myself,
the world has made amazing progress.
The people here will no longer invest...
in old-fashioned items.
And I am not here to bring you such items.
We are...
going to change the future.
What are we going to change?
- The future! - The future!
That's right. The future!
I give you the new brand of Navis Well-being...
that will help change your future.
It is Navis Bio!
(Navis Bio)
- What do you like? - Money!
That's right. You like money.
What?
- What is that? - What's going on?
"Stock Price Manipulation?"
What takes up 99 percent of the cause...
of stock price manipulation failures?
Internal discord.
Kang Soo has succeeded in stopping the virus.
But what he failed to notice was a bug...
that was already in there.
(30 minutes before the briefing)
(Slide to answer)
(Slide to answer)
Yes?
Why are you ghosting me?
You know that every second counts right now.
Ro Um?
I have a bomb that can ruin the wrap-up.
Now, I'm going to offer you a deal.
What?
If you refuse,
the recording of this phone call goes to Kang Soo.
If he finds out that you agreed to scrap the wrap-up,
he'll probably go insane, right?
You already know...
that emotion causes betrayals more than rationality.
I guess that's why I hated you so much...
for the last ten years.
But I'm a little different from you.
So I'm going to give you an opportunity.
Tell me who the president is.
Or I blow this up.
Go ahead.
You're foolish and arrogant.
Go ahead and try it.
I told you, didn't I?
I knew she wouldn't listen.
I feel sorry for you.
Jay tried so hard to save you.
Just like how Kang Soo buys stocks...
at the lowest and sells at the highest,
we decided to go for the peak where he could suffer the most.
He's the only one that fails when he fails to get investments.
But when an official event fails,
it's the failure of the entire Navis Well-being.
(Starting)
(Welcome)
(Navis Well-being)
Take the business plan out of Kang Soo's computer.
Take over the network of Navis Well-being.
It's always the ones with zero capabilities...
that invest their whole fortune.
- Then, they get greedy... - For entertaining purposes,
we add audiovisual materials.
Lastly,
we drop the bomb.
It's always the ones with zero capabilities...
that invest their whole fortune.
Then, they get greedy and get loans.
And they write their last wills.
Have you ever killed anyone?
You see, this is what stresses me out the most.
They die so easily.
They'll turn the computer off, right?
Na Sa's flash drive installs a rootkit.
You might as well speak moon language.
It enables better attacks as he tries to defend it.
"It's the company's fault."
"I'm a victim."
Those pieces of trash.
Had they not told a lie, I wouldn't have gone to prison.
Rebooting or vaccine software...
will only spread our attacks.
I got a message!
(Stock Manipulation Using Navis Bio)
What are these?
- Is this for real? - Check this out!
- This can't be right. - No way!
Fraud!
You told me not to invest earlier. Why are you asking me to send it?
My teammates...
will find a way.
What about me?
Isn't it my loss...
when Navis Bio goes to ruin after I invest in it?
Your dad will get it back, anyway.
Whatever it costs.
I liked Bae Ha Na for how tough she was.
It turns out that Lee Ro Um is tougher.
Fine, then.
And one last thing.
That man.
It's not just a business relationship, is it?
Keep that relationship,
and don't hesitate to call me when you get bored.
So I've decided to see it this way.
"I should..."
"buy up expensive lives to begin with."
Gosh.
That stock price is going to plunge tomorrow.
(Navis Well-being)
This is going to lead Kang Soo's men to panic-sell.
- Find her. - Who, sir?
Find Jang Kyung Ja!
Let's move!
If you refuse,
the recording of this phone call goes to Kang Soo.
Now, I'm going to offer you a deal.
Tell me who the president is.
Or I blow this up.
You witch!
My gosh.
You just won't stop, will you?
Do you think life's that simple?
Did you think...
you were a queen because I was respectful?
Do you think you ruined me?
No.
If you die here and now,
it'll be over.
So die.
Die!
Gosh, do you believe what just happened?
That was crazy.
Well done.
(I'm sorry.)
I don't have the courage to ruin Moo Young's future.
I'm sorry.
Surprise 100,
please welcome child genius Lee Ro Um!
Okay. Lee Ro Um has to...
recite everything perfectly.
Lee Ro Um?
It looks like Ro Um is nervous.
It's very possible.
What's this?
Ro Um, will you tell us about number 25?
The president.
(Delightfully Deceitful)
(Special thanks to Actress Mun Ka Young)
The comic book store. Was that you?
Was that the contents of the notebook you tried to steal?
A lighter? She hid something in it.
Don't you want to repay your debt to Ro Um?
Does it have the president's identity?
The president reacted,
and is likely to make a move.
Let's tie down Navis.
The problem is the media.
Teach them that first!
The attitude they must have!
It's more of an invitation than a warning.
As if he'll appear in person.
Do you know me?
(What is this guy?)
You could say he's unique?
An attention seeker who wants to look mysterious.
Do you tend not to lie?
You're pretty.
("My Lovely Liar," Premieres July 31 at 8:50pm)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(Child actors filmed in safety.)
It's you, isn't it?
Number 25.
Yes.
(Episode 12)
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't keep it from you.
I told you I was in the audience.
I believe I told you I saw you as a kid,
that I knew you.
I didn't think you'd remember my number.
I thought it meant nothing to you.
Let's go.
You're just the same, then and now.
People who appear suddenly and offer to help.
I thought of you sometimes because I doubted the purpose.
But...
no one will know unless you tell people.
It's too scary...
by yourself.
And it's lonely.
You said you were lonely and scared. I believe that.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Why do you think 99.9 percent of stock manipulation scams fail?
- Fraud? - Internal discord.
Ma Kang Soo needs money to obtain shares,
and financier Min Kang Yoon has the money.
Starting with the party, we'll cause a rift between them.
Min Kang Yoon was divorced twice.
Both men were younger, rich,
and shared her interests.
She married them both a month after meeting them.
She must believe in fate.
What are her interests?
Her father made her travel as a kid,
so she's practically a foreigner.
She mainly speaks German and English.
We know who to send in, then.
That means Ko Yo Han and his partner...
will mark Ma Kang Soo.
Will he bring someone we can trust?
He will.
(Min Kang Yoon)
You'll bring whom?
Why ask when you heard the first time?
Why would you drag her into this?
You told me to bring a partner.
You could bring someone, anyone you happen to know.
I know her.
- She's my shrink. - Not anymore.
Exactly.
How could you involve her when she's no longer my shrink?
It's dangerous.
Wait.
I'm almost hurt.
You dragged me in like it was nothing.
The danger level isn't much different...
from what you already do.
Should I even have to listen to this?
I got you the invitation.
Plus, I'm a very valuable player.
My gosh.
Han Moo Young.
Han Moo Young.
Get a grip.
You should thank me.
"Thank you, Yo Han." Go on, say it.
What?
Say it.
"Thank you, Yo Han." Say it.
Gosh, this setup is incredible.
- We're Yoo Il... - And Yoo Neung.
Hello. I'm Ko Yo Han.
Those two?
"Those two?"
Do you people never thank others?
The psychiatrist I mentioned.
I'm Mo Jae In.
Ms. Jung.
I heard. It's okay.
Doctor, you must know me too, then.
Multilingual?
That's the backdrop of our project.
You two will mark Ma Kang Soo.
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
Cryptocurrency? Coins?
It gained popularity...
while Ma was in prison, so he'll be very interested.
Anything else,
he'll look down on and think they're beneath him.
Will he take a business card from a stranger?
Let's find out.
What...
- Hey. - What?
- Hey. - What?
Oh, dear.
Pass a handkerchief...
and card and offer to pay for dry-cleaning.
Ms. Mo, if you do it, Ma won't kill you, at least.
He believes he's a gentleman.
Did you have to actually do it?
Simulation.
Yes, but did you have to...
He said it was a simulation.
It has been over ten years,
but Ma Kang Soo might recognize us.
Whether we succeed or fail depends on...
how you do.
I'll monitor everything through the security cameras.
Yoo Il and Yoo Neung...
will control your movements on the floor.
We'll communicate with in-ear radios.
Then what about you two?
We'll feed info to Min Kang Yoon's acquaintances.
Causing a rift...
requires the help of gossip.
Will I need some self-defense moves?
You don't have to take lessons.
Okay.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Did you drive?
No, I took a bus.
This way?
No, this way.
- Get back safe. - Okay. See you.
Bye.
Should we say we're dating or married?
At the party.
We'll need a story of our own.
I'm...
anti-marriage.
Well,
I don't see why you should be that specific.
But anyway,
point taken.
Then...
let's say we're dating.
- Okay. - Okay.
You're a Korean-American CEO of a startup.
The Korean-American world is small,
so I'll give you an old ID.
Tread carefully.
Josh Hong.
Let's rehearse, then.
Too old-school.
Totally my style.
Too young-looking.
Totally my style.
A limited design watch from Min Kang Yoon's jewelry brand.
Do I look okay?
Is my suit here?
Bring it over.
It looks like it'll bring me 200 million dollars.
It's a two-track system.
To Min Kang Yoon, we'll send a fake...
who seems worth investing in and can replace Ma Kang Soo.
To Ma Kang Soo, we'll send a fake investor who seems credible.
We'll send viruses to both of them and ruin their relationship.
And consequently, their investment deal will fall through.
Everyone, to your position.
I got her on camera.
The host hasn't entered yet.
Yes.
This is the salad fork.
Oh, I see.
Salad, fish, dinner, dessert.
This one's the dinner fork.
But just use whatever you want. It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
Well, let's not thank each other.
Otherwise, I'd have to thank the experience of being caned...
for not being able to memorize such things as a kid.
Eat up.
Oh, you didn't know?
The newly appointed director of Navis served time for fraud.
- Fraud? - Yes.
They don't keep their financial structure transparent at all,
so I thought it might be risky.
I hear they're planning to branch out into bio this time.
We should be careful.
- Let's be careful. - It sounds risky.
Ma Kang Soo is entering now.
Hold him up while Blue moves in.
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
Find this.
(Exhibit 5512, Revolver)
You need to see this.
Oh, thank you.
Hello, sir. We have assorted desserts...
Would you like a little whiskey?
- I'll take it straight. - Sure.
Oh, my.
Enjoy.
Gosh! Oh, no.
My goodness. I'm so sorry.
Min Kang Yoon is here. Ring Go, be on standby.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's been a while. - You look stunning.
This is Josh. He said you two went to school in the same neighborhood.
Yes, in Karlsruhe.
I'm Josh Hong.
What's that watch you're wearing?
Oh, this. Someone gave it to me as a gift.
She's the CEO of that brand.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
A gift from a girlfriend?
An ex.
I'm really sorry!
Babe, I told you to come this way.
Gosh. Here, use this.
It's okay. It was just a mistake.
I apologize. I'll take care of the dry-cleaning fee.
You... Aren't you Yo Han?
I guess you know Yo Han.
I'll go.
Ro Um, I'm not her cup of tea.
I'm not Min Kang Yoon's type.
Sorry. I thought you were someone I knew.
What's your name? You're a new face.
You're Korean, right?
If not, just tell me. I can speak a few foreign languages.
Yes, I am Korean.
Good.
I'm Min Kang Yoon. I'm the one who organized this party.
I'm Bae Ha Na.
My, look at you. You're all grown up now.
No wonder you're here too. I saw Professor Shin over there.
My gosh. Your face hasn't changed one bit.
Mr. Ma.
Oh, Professor Shin.
My gosh.
It's been a while, Mr. Ma.
Gosh, pardon my messy shirt.
I was going to come over and say hello earlier.
I've been very busy, you know.
I see.
Anyway, your son is all grown up now.
I saw his photo from his college entrance ceremony.
Do you know me?
You brat!
I gave you pocket money and adored you when you were little.
You know this man too?
Is she your girlfriend?
Nice to meet you.
We're engaged.
I see. My gosh, Yo Han really is all grown up now.
Right?
This happened in the blink of an eye.
For real.
Invite me to your wedding. You have to, okay?
I'll be expecting an invitation. I'm serious.
I should go do something about my shirt.
I'll be in touch.
- Okay. - It was nice seeing you.
Will I get an invite too?
Hey, go to my car and get me a shirt.
Yes, there are some in the trunk. Get me a white one.
I'm in the men's room. Hurry.
Too bad that happened before you could even meet her.
I'm not sure if this will make you feel better,
but it looks like game over, so quit trying.
What are you talking about?
Min Kang Yoon.
Last year, she even rejected a candidate her father recommended.
This time, I hear she's decided...
to invest in some unicorn company she's obsessed with.
Is this credible information?
You know that she's very unpredictable.
With Min Kang Yoon, there's never a guarantee.
And who are you?
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
This is a boring party, no?
Sorry for throwing such a lame party.
It's fun.
I got to see you, Ms. Min.
Me?
Why?
Because you're...
a person who can give me what I need.
Do I look like a nice girl who will give you things?
Compared to your father, yes.
I have nothing, though.
Compared to my dad.
Kang Soo just stepped out of the bathroom.
Let's move for now.
Kang Soo is in the lobby.
He's entering. We need to hurry.
Wait.
You don't have a choice.
Exit through the emergency exit on your right.
Ms. Min.
Mr. Ma!
I love the atmosphere of this party.
It's all thanks to you.
You're welcome.
I guess Ms. Jang is not here yet.
Pardon?
Hi, there.
I'm sorry I didn't send you the invitation.
Don't be.
I'm here, aren't I?
- Mr. Ma. - Ms. Jang.
I was going to ask Mr. Ma for his understanding.
I see.
I called her urgently last night...
to tell her that we'd issue Navis Well-being's gift cards.
I thought that you should know.
Navis Well-being's gift cards?
The gift card project is pretty extensive.
I'm afraid it'll affect your business proposal.
Give my risk management team some time to review the plan.
Is that all right?
Sure. No problem.
Then, I'll get back to you on the 15th.
I'll be waiting.
Thanks for coming, Ms. Jang.
I'll see you next time, Mr. Ma.
What do you think you're doing?
Have you eventually lost your senses?
Why?
Are you worried that Kang Yoon will reject you?
You're out of your mind.
If she does reject you,
I'll let you in on my business.
You're welcome to take a spot.
Do your worst.
It's not over yet.
I'm going to get Kang Yoon, no matter what.
I can't go empty-handed.
Pull back, everyone.
Da Jung, find out where Kang Yoon is.
Get a taxi.
I thought you had gone home with that man.
Is he your boyfriend?
We're colleagues.
I wasn't lying about what I said earlier.
I have no money or power.
That's not entirely true.
All those people up there...
were there to talk to you.
You must want more than a talk, seeing that you've come this far.
How much do you need?
Let's meet once again.
Isn't it money that you want?
Well, it suits me.
But you only get one chance, okay?
Why do you unnecessarily attract people's attention?
I'm doing business. I need to make a profit.
Who asked you to make a profit?
Can't you see that doing nothing is our best option?
You walk into danger if you do nothing.
And you'll be deserted.
So, what exactly is it that you're trying to do?
Begging her to choose you?
What's so wrong with this when it's the same money?
My plan may work better.
That's not up to you.
You were out of options the moment Kang Soo emerged.
You're intentionally interrupting us wrap it up,
and it's dangerous.
Don't drag it out too long, and end it.
If this goes south,
you will not leave in one piece.
"We."
It's "we."
You wanted to flee together.
Then,
trust me, and wait.
I bet you told that girl the same thing.
Show me...
what's in your head.
I need to see everything...
so that I can trust you,
not the president.
Tell them...
to bring Su Ho to my office.
That guy with raggedy clothes on.
Yes, sir.
Shoot.
(Nasa Auto Shop)
Darn it.
How did Kyung Ja find out about that?
I wonder how she knew where I was and who I met.
I thought very hard about it,
and you were the only one who touched my phone.
You went through my text messages...
as you installed the security cameras, didn't you?
Did you or did you not?
Did you or did you not, you punk?
It wasn't me.
You won't say you didn't see it.
What about Mr. Min?
He said he'd be in touch.
He said you shouldn't worry too much.
It sounds like I should worry a bit.
You know how unpredictable she is.
To Min Kang Yoon, nothing is unconditional.
Make sure he doesn't leave my office.
Find out if this guy's real.
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
It launched this evening at nine.
They're large denominations, some worth 500 dollars.
Members can get them at a 20-percent discount,
and over 30,000 franchises or brands will accept them.
Who wouldn't buy one?
It's like cashing a bad check.
More and more people are applying for a membership,
and regional center members were told to sell a grand's worth.
I'd forgotten that...
Jang Kyung Ja was a con artist too.
If the president approves of her, she'll give him the profits,
and if not, she'll keep it for herself.
She's saying she won't go out without a fight.
Why be so irresponsible?
If the company doesn't pay up,
the business must shoulder the debt.
She doesn't have to think about that.
It's not worth caring.
They're ants she never sees.
We don't care or feel responsible if we step on an ant.
She feels the same about them.
A Navis investment briefing will go down in two weeks.
If Ma Kang Soo buys the shares with Min Kang Yoon's money,
reveals the company at the briefing,
and announces the merger,
stock prices will go up at least a few hundred percent.
Independent traders will flock too.
The gift cards will sell like crazy.
He can't do anything without Min's money.
Don't we just have to stop her from investing?
Someone clicked on the Blue website.
I think it was Ma checking it out.
He'll be looking for a contingency plan.
We should hear from him soon.
We should approach him somehow, just in case.
(CEO's Office)
I'm here to see Ms. Jang.
Outsiders are not allowed in.
"Outsider?"
You should remember your place.
I found a hidden camera in her office.
Do you know anything about it?
What are you getting at?
I'm asking if you had it installed.
Tell Kyung Ja that...
what she's doing is scoring an own goal.
If the wrap-up fails, there will be no getting out.
For you or for her.
(CEO's Office)
What is Min Kang Yoon thinking?
Isn't she supposed to call Ma Kang Soo by tomorrow?
But she scheduled to see Ro Um too?
Is she going to choose between the two?
We're done for if Blue doesn't work out.
(Incoming call)
The Blue Investment, Joshua speaking.
Yes, you can speak to me.
Tomorrow? Sure.
I'll talk to my boss and get back to you.
Yes. Thank you.
He bit. He took the bait.
Let's go set things up.
Okay.
Are you worried?
How do you seduce a woman?
I memorized everything about Min Kang Yoon,
but I still don't get it.
Have you seduced a woman?
Be honest.
You can't lie anyway.
I'm a great liar.
Have you? Seduced a woman?
I have.
How? With money?
I'll tell only you.
Tell me.
What do you need? Talk to me.
Sincerity.
Did you see Min's tattoo and necklace?
They all symbolize truth and transparency.
Her father's rich and powerful,
so I bet everyone approached her with an ulterior motive.
Even we approached her for a purpose.
So what?
Should a fraud become honest?
The truth is more powerful than you think.
For example?
For example...
What you said to me when you were nine.
My family...
can eat meat if I do this.
You truly cared about your parents...
and was willing to take someone else's outstretched hand.
That memory was so powerful,
ever since the day you were released,
I still saw you as the nine-year-old that I couldn't help.
Thanks for remembering me.
That day, and for a long time since,
I was unable to help others.
But inside me remains...
the 14-year-old who wants to help you.
That's silly.
What's going on?
I'm packing up to leave Korea.
I need to earn some time,
and the briefing needs to go well.
If not, Ms. Jang can't get out safely.
Are you asking me to give you two...
time to elope?
That was the condition.
That was your condition, not mine.
Does Jang Kyung Ja know what we're up to?
- No. - Why won't you tell her?
She'll think I'm doing it for you.
She's so stupid.
Does she not remember who you sided with...
ten years ago?
I'll give you the gun after the investment briefing.
That wasn't our deal.
I know what it means to you.
You looked so hard for it.
Does it matter when you get it?
When you have a weapon?
You can trust me.
(Navis Well-being Investment Briefing)
(Sending)
Da Jung, we're done setting things up.
Good job.
Wait.
(CEO Blue)
Su Ho.
Pass your boss a message.
If Min Kang Yoon doesn't pay me today,
you and Kyung Ja die at my hand today.
Okay?
(CEO Ma Kang Soo)
(Cryptocurrency Investment and Consulting, CEO Blue)
That style suits you too.
Drink up.
It's still bright outside.
I don't think I can be sober when I hear it. What you want from me.
What do you think it is?
Whatever it is,
I don't think it'll be something I want to hear.
Did you move here recently?
No.
Did you bring your business plan?
First, let's introduce ourselves properly.
You can never do business with someone you don't trust.
Drink up.
Down it even if you can't drink. To get what you want, that is.
Just drinking like this is no fun.
Let's play a game.
What kind of game?
Truth or dare.
Take a seat.
I see that you're quite impatient.
Why don't we relax and talk about some current events first?
I'm sure you already vetted me.
So there must be a reason why you came here.
Do I look like someone who has time to chitchat with you here?
Right.
I understand that you're a very successful man.
But you see,
I have my own values.
I can only do business with people who share the same values as mine.
Why did you get a divorce?
Shouldn't you be asking why I got married?
I already know the answer to that.
What is the answer?
Your lies.
I am...
a fraud.
I must take revenge,
and I need your help.
Please pick up, Ro Um.
The call cannot be connected. Please leave...
We'll just go there and get Na Sa.
We won't get in.
He won't actually kill him.
He will.
He is certainly capable of killing.
Have you ever killed anyone?
You see, this is what stresses me out the most.
They die so easily.
It's always those who can't handle the consequences...
that put in all their money.
Then they get greedy, so they take out a loan.
Then they just write a will.
"It's the company's fault. I'm the victim here."
Stupid cockroaches.
I wouldn't have had to go to jail if those idiots hadn't done that.
When you run a business, you can't put people first.
So I've decided to see it this way.
"I should..."
"buy up expensive lives to begin with."
I shouldn't give the money...
to Ma Kang Soo?
Ro Um.
Yes, talk.
You two aren't done yet, right?
Na Sa will die if the investment falls through.
Ma Kang Soo said he would kill him.
Be clear.
I told him I'd send the money on the dot.
What's she saying?
What is Ro Um saying?
Oh, boy.
I'm sorry.
Let's do business together...
another time.
We did it!
(150 million dollars has been deposited, )
(and we received a 50 million dollar check at the office.)
Send money to the boys. Let's get started.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Ro Um.
You made the right decision.
(Dajung Comic Books)
Yes, that's it.
Yes. That's right.
We did it.
(Yiyang Bio)
We did it!
What is the gain on this?
Hey, Su Ho. Your life has been spared.
Oh, my.
Yes, come in.
We need you in the lobby, sir.
Why?
What's up?
My gosh.
Hey, mister!
Hey, Ko Yo Han.
How have you been?
I heard one of the offenders I manage was here.
What? Offenders?
I guess you don't know.
I'm a probation officer.
Anyway, that's not important.
I'm here to pick up my precious offender.
Who is this offender?
The one in your office right now.
My goodness.
Is this how you usually do things? This is so random.
You didn't know?
I thought you knew me very well.
This is how I roll.
Did you bring a warrant?
Come on now.
Why do I need a warrant? I thought we were close.
I'll send you my wedding invitation.
A search warrant, you idiot.
I have no such thing, you idiot.
According to Article 40 of the Act on Probation,
I can arrest him immediately, you jerk.
All right, we're moving in now.
If you lay a finger on my boys here,
I'll report you to the police for obstructing justice.
I'll get on the floor and get obnoxious.
All these scenes are provided at a bargain...
unless you let us quietly take Mr. Na Su Ho.
Okay?
I have a very pleasant occasion today.
Right.
Open the gate.
This guy.
You've got guts.
Bye, mister!
(Na Su Ho, male)
Let's go.
It's Director Ma Kang Soo!
(Navis Well-being)
(Navis Well-being)
I'm glad to finally introduce myself.
I'm Ma Kang Soo.
While I was taking my time to reflect on myself,
the world has made amazing progress.
The people here will no longer invest...
in old-fashioned items.
And I am not here to bring you such items.
We are...
going to change the future.
What are we going to change?
- The future! - The future!
That's right. The future!
I give you the new brand of Navis Well-being...
that will help change your future.
It is Navis Bio!
(Navis Bio)
- What do you like? - Money!
That's right. You like money.
What?
- What is that? - What's going on?
"Stock Price Manipulation?"
What takes up 99 percent of the cause...
of stock price manipulation failures?
Internal discord.
Kang Soo has succeeded in stopping the virus.
But what he failed to notice was a bug...
that was already in there.
(30 minutes before the briefing)
(Slide to answer)
(Slide to answer)
Yes?
Why are you ghosting me?
You know that every second counts right now.
Ro Um?
I have a bomb that can ruin the wrap-up.
Now, I'm going to offer you a deal.
What?
If you refuse,
the recording of this phone call goes to Kang Soo.
If he finds out that you agreed to scrap the wrap-up,
he'll probably go insane, right?
You already know...
that emotion causes betrayals more than rationality.
I guess that's why I hated you so much...
for the last ten years.
But I'm a little different from you.
So I'm going to give you an opportunity.
Tell me who the president is.
Or I blow this up.
Go ahead.
You're foolish and arrogant.
Go ahead and try it.
I told you, didn't I?
I knew she wouldn't listen.
I feel sorry for you.
Jay tried so hard to save you.
Just like how Kang Soo buys stocks...
at the lowest and sells at the highest,
we decided to go for the peak where he could suffer the most.
He's the only one that fails when he fails to get investments.
But when an official event fails,
it's the failure of the entire Navis Well-being.
(Starting)
(Welcome)
(Navis Well-being)
Take the business plan out of Kang Soo's computer.
Take over the network of Navis Well-being.
It's always the ones with zero capabilities...
that invest their whole fortune.
- Then, they get greedy... - For entertaining purposes,
we add audiovisual materials.
Lastly,
we drop the bomb.
It's always the ones with zero capabilities...
that invest their whole fortune.
Then, they get greedy and get loans.
And they write their last wills.
Have you ever killed anyone?
You see, this is what stresses me out the most.
They die so easily.
They'll turn the computer off, right?
Na Sa's flash drive installs a rootkit.
You might as well speak moon language.
It enables better attacks as he tries to defend it.
"It's the company's fault."
"I'm a victim."
Those pieces of trash.
Had they not told a lie, I wouldn't have gone to prison.
Rebooting or vaccine software...
will only spread our attacks.
I got a message!
(Stock Manipulation Using Navis Bio)
What are these?
- Is this for real? - Check this out!
- This can't be right. - No way!
Fraud!
You told me not to invest earlier. Why are you asking me to send it?
My teammates...
will find a way.
What about me?
Isn't it my loss...
when Navis Bio goes to ruin after I invest in it?
Your dad will get it back, anyway.
Whatever it costs.
I liked Bae Ha Na for how tough she was.
It turns out that Lee Ro Um is tougher.
Fine, then.
And one last thing.
That man.
It's not just a business relationship, is it?
Keep that relationship,
and don't hesitate to call me when you get bored.
So I've decided to see it this way.
"I should..."
"buy up expensive lives to begin with."
Gosh.
That stock price is going to plunge tomorrow.
(Navis Well-being)
This is going to lead Kang Soo's men to panic-sell.
- Find her. - Who, sir?
Find Jang Kyung Ja!
Let's move!
If you refuse,
the recording of this phone call goes to Kang Soo.
Now, I'm going to offer you a deal.
Tell me who the president is.
Or I blow this up.
You witch!
My gosh.
You just won't stop, will you?
Do you think life's that simple?
Did you think...
you were a queen because I was respectful?
Do you think you ruined me?

If you die here and now,
it'll be over.
So die.
Die!
Gosh, do you believe what just happened?
That was crazy.
Well done.
(I'm sorry.)
I don't have the courage to ruin Moo Young's future.
I'm sorry.
Surprise 100,
please welcome child genius Lee Ro Um!
Okay. Lee Ro Um has to...
recite everything perfectly.
Lee Ro Um?
It looks like Ro Um is nervous.
It's very possible.

Ro Um, will you tell us about number 25?
The president.

Teach them that first!
The attitude they must have!

Do you know me?
(What is this guy?)
You could say he's unique?
An attention seeker who wants to look mysterious.
Do you tend not to lie?
You're pretty.
