Man to Man (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

Subtitles by Netflix

I am Ghost Agent K.

A shadow without a name or reputation.

The mission has been aborted,

and I will leave.

I will kill that bastard.

I will begin
the Black Auction mission tomorrow.

This mission is worth $5,000,000.

The situation is bad.

I have what you want.

-What do you want?
-I want a certain somebody's death.



EPISODE 9

You heard about Do-ha's dad, right?

We can't reach
prosecutor Dong-hyun Lee either.

Please give us some more time, and...

How can I trust you?

Is there a way?

Let me know if I can help in any way.

If it's for the country and for Do-ha,
I'll do anything.

We overcame death together.

I can do martial arts, brother.

There is one way in which you can help.

I need money to carry out the plan.

In US dollars. I need $5,000,000.

Five...



Do you really need $5,000,000?

Not 5,000,000 won?

It's almost six billion won.

There has been a problem
with the funds expected from NIS.

So...

If you have that money,
can you really save Do-ha's dad?

With the prosecutor
Dong-hyun Lee's situation

and Do-ha's dad being framed,

they can only be resolved
if this mission is a success.

-When do you need it by?
-By noon tomorrow.

It's useless if it's even a minute late.

He wants $5,000,000.
That is almost six billion won.

That is quite a large sum.

Un-gwang, forget it.

-You can't trust him to lend him...
-I'll lend it to you.

Un-gwang.

Why did I make money?

It's for situations like this.

Why did I make money?

-Am I right?
-Un-gwang.

Are you sure you're okay?

It's $5,000,000.

For a Hollywood star,
an amount like that...

Will it be okay?

-Well...
-No.

It's just a loan.

Because he's a brother whom I cherish.

It will be okay, right?

Un-gwang,

don't push yourself.

I'm sure there's another way.

You worked so hard to save up that money.

You shouldn't use it
on situations like this.

"Situations like this"?

I can use it on "situations like this."

It's about you.

It's about our family.

Money isn't important.

Un-gwang.

Plus, it's being used for the country.
It's being used for good.

Don't feel too bad.

The nation's actor, Un-gwang Yeo,
can use $5,000,000 for the country.

I'm sorry. Also, thank you.

I told you to stop saying that.

Plus, I'm just lending him the money.

-Still.
-It's okay.

Seol-woo is an NIS agent.
He wouldn't scam me.

You can't just lend it to him for nothing.

I know from growing up
surrounded by creditors,

and faith like that is the most useless
when it comes to money.

Then, what is useful?

Dependable collateral.

Collateral?

Un-gwang said he'll lend you the money.

Okay.

"Okay"?

You sound like he's returning
your money or something.

I knew he would agree,
since it's about you.

Was it another tactic?

I will make sure
your dad is released soon.

Tactic.

Duty.

Sure. Fine.

You are my only option now anyway.

But I have a condition.

Your credit is the absolute worst,
so we need collateral.

What's useful in this room?

There's only one thing.

Forfeit your body to us.

Sign it.

You'll return as Guard Kim and stick close
to Un-gwang and protect him.

If you disappear without a word again,

I'll post a story about you and the NIS
along with your picture everywhere.

-I have a mission in two days...
-That mission.

You must report what you're doing,
when, where, and how.

A debtor may not keep secrets.

Those are the conditions
for lending you the $5,000,000.

What happened with your dad?

I'm looking into it.

How frightening.
How could he be framed for murder?

Your dad is frail and caring
on the inside.

The police must be mistaken.

He'll get out
once they straighten it out, right?

It doesn't seem that simple.

Seol-woo said it seems serious.

Seol-woo is back?

Well...

Yes.

He's coming back to work.

Is it because of you?

No, it's because of my dad.

Un-gwang called him back.

If he's back because of your dad,
that means it's because of you.

It's not like that.

That's his job too.

Anyway, it's complicated.

Will you really be okay,
working with him again?

I have a bad feeling about this.

It is not good for you to see him again.

He's totally the bad boy type.

He is...

just an evil jerk.

A dangerous one too.

I'm really just going to work.

You'll return at Guard Kim and stick close
to Un-gwang and protect him.

You must report what you're doing,
when, where, and how.

What do you say?

Why don't you take my side?

If you bring me the wood carving,
I'll make you the director of NIS.

You need power to pursue justice.

Justice that doesn't abide
by the rules is assault.

Money is the rule
and power is the justice.

Don't you know that yet?

That's right.

Sharon Kim.

Don't you know
she is my wife's best friend?

Is something wrong?

Things are a little complicated.

Classified information again?

Something you can't tell me?

It's not that.

Which do you think is more important,
money or honor?

Money, of course.

In these times,
you can buy honor with money.

But ever since I met you,
I have had a change of heart.

I realized how sexy an honorable man

who can't be easily bought is.

I met with Mr. Jang.

Let me know if you need anything.

Whether for good or bad,
it will be easy to use him.

It may harm your friend, Sharon.

Family comes before friends.

-Mom.
-Hi. Did my baby sleep well?

-You're up early.
-Yes.

-Mom and I are going to play today.
-You are?

You must be happy
that your mom isn't sick anymore.

Yes.

Mom, don't be sick anymore, okay?

You can't be sick, okay?

Okay. I'm not sick anymore.

I'll stay by your side from now on.

Un-gwang, we need to pay the actors
and staff by the end of the week

to prepare to shoot.

So?

-What? How much do you need?
-Not much.

Being conservative,
at least a billion won?

A billion won?

You punk. Is a billion won
or five million dollars chump change?

A billion won! Five million dollars.

Come on! You said you would invest!
You promised to invest the money!

I wanted to stop,
but you said you would do it!

I did say that.

I promised all of that.

A billion won

and the $5,000,000.

What are the $5,000,000 for?

Just go to sleep. I wish this was a dream.

Let go! Stop pulling my ears.

$5,000,000.

-Are you back at work?
-Yes.

-Did you and Un-gwang make up?
-Pardon?

Even if you were angry, violence was...

the right thing to do.

You earned my respect.

But he doesn't have
any appointments today.

Hi.

Hi, Guard Kim.

Hey.

So did you think it over?

Ms. Cha's conditions are just too...

I've decided to follow her wishes.

Okay. Did you?

Let's go.

Sure. We should go.

We really should.

I'm going to the bank with him
and take care of some business.

-I'll get the car.
-No. We'll go alone.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hey.

Why is he suddenly going to the bank?

I feel Guard Kim is using him for money.

He got beat up and mugged.

-Oh my!
-Oh my!

Really?

GOOKJAE BANK

It isn't common for an NIS secret agent
to borrow funds for a mission

from people he knows, right?

No.

That's why people as close as you and me

shouldn't lend money to each...

I will keep my promise and pay you back,

brother.

"Bro..."

"Brother"?

Yes, brother.

Sir? The transfer request of $5,000,000,

which at the current exchange rate
is six billion won, has been confirmed.

Does it have to be exactly $5,000,000?

The movie we're producing needs
about a billion won this week...

Sir.

What? There's a problem, right?

There is a problem, right?
So the transfer won't go through.

We have no choice.

I've confirmed your balance.
You have around seven billion won.

Minus the withdrawal,
you have around one billion won.

I have exactly enough left over.
I'm not lacking in any aspect.

I'll process the transfer.
Please enter your PIN.

GOOKJAE BANK

Just a second.

I have one condition.

PRISON

It really wasn't me this time.

How did you know the victim?

Well, the artwork that he dealt
were very expensive.

So I would deliver them for him
for a little money.

Expensive items?

It's not like that!

I don't kill people for money!

Please believe me this time.

I really didn't do it. This is so unfair.

If you didn't do it,
I'm sure they will figure it out.

But they have fabricated the evidence.

I smell a conspiracy.

You know Congressman In-soo Baek,
who's running for Seoul's mayor, right?

He knows the late Robert Yoon
and I know him too,

so he may be of help.

I'll look into it.

I dropped off some long johns
and commissary money.

Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Thank you.

Also, I'm sorry.

Hey.

What about Seol-woo?

It's over between us.

It's because your dad is like this.

Goodness.

Whatever.

Regardless, you played a part
in what happened to you,

so repent while you're in there.

Please.

The suspect of a major case, Seo,

escaped from custody
while being investigated.

Seo was being investigated
for a special assault case,

when he assaulted two guards and fled.

The prosecutor's office is reviewing
the CCTV recordings to...

Will that punk cause more trouble?

Don't worry. That won't happen.

Mr. Seo, that punk, called me.

-He did?
-He asked for one final chance.

He said he would bring the wood carving
and eliminate Ghost Agent K.

-So?
-He'll put his life on the line,

so we can expect him to bring us results.

Once he's done, we'll get rid of him.

How can we use someone whose face
was on television as a Black Ops Agent?

Someone who has been exposed is useless.

I feel good.

Money should be used for family
and the country to feel gratified.

The $5,000,000 has been received.

Thank you.

Let's drink to a successful mission.

Don't forget what you promised.

Must you see her?

How is Mi-eun related with the NIS?

My current mission is related to Songsan.

Is it in a good way or bad?

There is something you must know.

It's about the two accident at the shoot.

I suspect

Songsan's CEO, Mr. Mo hired the hitman.

To kill me? Why?

From what I can see,
Ms. Song is still hung up on you.

Mr. Mo is a dangerous person
who will do anything, including murder,

to eliminate anyone in his way.

For both of your safety,

please do not see her or have
anything to do with her again.

I need to check something for myself.

If Mr. Mo finds out you two met,
you both may be in danger.

That's why you need to set it up
so that we can meet in secret.

Hey.

You promised at the bank.

Did you change your mind
now that you have the money?

You were calling me "brother"
and tearing up.

You totally faked it.

I'll keep my word.

-Do-ha. Here.
-Hey.

-Did you go to the bank?
-Yes.

Have a drumstick.

Un-gwang, are you okay?

What do you mean?

-I'm sorry.
-Why are you sorry?

Plus, I told you not to say that
in front of chicken and beer.

Here. Have a drumstick.

I've tracked her phone and located her.

Amazing. That was quick.

Is the mission starting already?

No, that's not it.

We need a simple plan in order to meet
while maintaining security.

A plan?

ROBOT MUSEUM

Yellow. Here. Also, for here...

-What's this?
-I don't know.

Up. Goodness.

-Do you like cars or robots?
-Robots.

But who's the strongest in the universe?

Dark Death!

Okay.

I stuck the device on.
Yes. Do you hear me?

The electromagnetic
signal emitter is active.

Will the owner of a black sedan
with license plate 19O 7833

please come to the parking lot?

The owner of the sedan
with license plate number 19O 7833,

please come to the garage.

Your attention please.

The owner of the sedan
with license plate number 19O 7833

-Excuse me.
-please come to the garage.

I have the car key.

Mi-eun is at the toy store
on the first floor.

Please spare a few minutes.

Goodness.

Please turn it off.

People are filing complaints.

I'm offended you showed up like this.

I wanted to check something.

If it's about investing in the movie,
I have nothing more to say.

No.

It's from long ago.

It's about the reason why you left me.

I left the car key in lost-and-found.

You have five minutes to talk.

Is his meeting with her
necessary for the mission?

It's an additional term
for the $5,000,000 loan.

Goodness.

I really don't like this about him.

What's the point in seeing someone
who left you?

It's stupid to hold on.

It's unnecessary and may be dangerous.

There's another reason
for putting together this plan

to let them meet, isn't there?

The reason you left me,

it has to do with the accident,
doesn't it?

What do you want to imagine?

I chose money over love.

That's all.

Look me in the eye and say that again.

You are...

lying to me.

Maybe he needs more time.

Should I go to her assistant
and buy more time?

We will proceed as planned.

I promised him five minutes.

That's too short to say everything
that he has pent up inside.

Time is meaningless.

Why is it meaningless
when he's trying to get closure?

Because talking about it
won't change anything.

As in, talking is meaningless?

So that's why you left
without saying anything.

It was the best option

for your safety as well as for mine.

It's time. I'll go get him.

Whatever your husband does to interfere,

I will complete the movie.

I will never step down again.

This is my final piece of advice.

Don't challenge my husband.

Also, don't ever come to me again.

It has been a while, Chairman Yamato.

I haven't seen you
since Chairman Mo's funeral.

But what is this about?

I was surprised when the chairman of a
rival corporation wanted to meet secretly.

I wanted to stop being rivals.

Would you like to acquire
Songsan Marine Transport?

It is a global company with high sales

and excellent performance,
but you're selling it to me?

If you wish.

Are you participating in the Black Auction
tomorrow during the Asia Investment Forum?

Yes, I am.

I would like you

to purchase a wood carving
that will be up for sale tomorrow.

How is the situation?

I can't do anything.
There are blockades everywhere.

What about Agent Lee?

I think they plan to find
any excuse to terminate him.

I looked into Myung-suk Cha as well,

and the fabricated evidence is flawless,
so he'll be convicted of murder for sure.

The Black Auction mission
will be carried out as planned.

How? Did you get the $5,000,000?

You'll have to settle the debt as soon

as the NIS director returns to Korea.

How will you do it without a backup?

We need the wood carving
so that they can't do anything rash.

I will get the second wood carving.

NIS agents are all over
the venue with your picture.

You don't stand a chance...

HYOSUNG INSTALLATIONS

SEONG-HOON KIM

He says to make sure you succeed.

So, D-day is 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.

The location
is the "From Asia to Worldwide" session.

You need an excuse for Un-gwang Yeo
to attend the 5:00 p.m. session.

I'll prepare the press release for that.
You're Chewing's largest shareholder.

I really do have to go to this.

Don't forget to include that I am a star
in Asia as well as a Hollywood star.

Anyway,

do you know Congressman In-soo Baek?

Isn't he a Seoul mayoral candidate?

Congressman Baek is the one

who framed your dad for murder.

What?

I thought Seung-jae Mo,
Songsan's CEO, was behind it.

Congressman Baek has been

in Songsan's pocket
ever since Chairman Mo.

Improperly earned money

and improper authority
obtained by that money.

Seung-jae Mo and Congressman Baek
appear to be different,

but they have the same roots.

So they are Villain Number one
and Villain Number two,

and our mission is to take them down.

Simply put, yes.

It's time for Dark Death to step in.

We will make sure
tomorrow's mission is a success.

What were you going to do by yourself
if you didn't have us?

The Black Auction mission
can be managed alone.

But for the plan I'm about to explain,
I need backup.

There's more to the mission?

The second day
of the Asia Investment Forum has begun.

Today's panel includes
"The Future of Artificial Intelligence",

"From Asia to Worldwide"
featuring scholars, businessmen,

government officials and cultural artists.

I'm outside the halls.
Nothing suspicious yet.

Once again this year...

This is the situation room.

If you see any dangerous people,
report immediately.

MYUNGIN ELECTRICS

Un-gwang, would you please
grant me an interview?

You're an actor at an investment forum.
Why is that?

I'm an actor, but I'm also a co-manager
of my entertainment company, Chewing.

I wanted to hear and experience
the economic trend regarding the arts.

Will you attend the 5:00 p.m. panel?

"From Asia to Worldwide."
Expanding from Asia into the world.

I think it's perfect for me,

a Korean actor, an Asian star
and a Hollywood actor.

What do you think will happen
culturally and economically?

I'll just have to do well.

We're on the second floor
and Un-gwang began his interviews.

I'm accessing the hotel security cameras.

I told you. I just have to do well.

-How...
-Then it will be smooth sailing.

Men who look like NIS agents. One, two

and three.

No, they are four.

I'm watching the monitor,
so you don't need to tell me.

I think I made eye contact
with one of them.

Do you think he caught onto me?

No. Act natural.

No.

He looked at me
like he was suspicious of me.

Listen to me.

Do exactly as I say.

Okay.

Stand straight and hold your head up.

Stand straight. Hold my head up.

-Your seven o'clock.
-My seven o'clock.

What do you see?

If men keep staring at you,
just ignore them.

It will be more obvious if you talk to me,

so don't talk.

Okay.

If Songsan Marine Transport
goes to Yamato,

Korea's marine transport industry
will lose to Japan.

I'll take the short-term loss
in order to get the wood carving.

Sure. We should look at the big picture.

Songsan needs to be strong
in order for the country to profit.

Exactly.

Exactly. If you had done
your job right from the start,

the nation's economy would've improved.

You couldn't even handle Robert Yoon right
and cost me big money.

I found a good scapegoat
and took care of it, so don't worry.

Please stop leaving loose ends.

It's flawless this time.

Try that again, and I'll...

He's an NIS agent too.

If you act natural, they won't touch you.

Don't be nervous.

I'm always watching over you.

Ms. Cha. Where are you?

The 5:00 p.m. panel is about to start.
The mission begins.

Stand by. Eyes open, everyone.
Watch to see if Agent K shows up.

Yes, sir.

Un-gwang Yeo and Do-ha Cha
just entered the hall.

The CEO of Korean IT company,
Wormsoft, Soo-bum Lee,

will give the keynote speech.

THE 12TH ASIA INVESTMENT FORUM

Hello. I'm Soo-bum Lee of Wormsoft.

My wish is that the fourth
industrial revolution will accelerate

the breakdown of the barriers
between the various systems.

In order to respond
to the complexity and uncertainty,

we must strengthen our leadership

to tolerate and understand them.

Rather than having a variety of systems,

it would be beneficial
to consolidate the systems

and provide a streamline...

We will now begin the Black Auction.

It's starting.

First item up for bid

is the Gold Elephant Table.

The Gold Elephant Table is made
of pure gold and is adorned with pearls.

-We will begin at $250,000.
-This looks pretty nice.

Should we buy one? I have $5,000,000.
$250,000 isn't much.

-Should I press it? Should I?
-No.

It was stolen
from the British Royal Family.

Interpol is searching for it,
so you won't be able to sell it.

-I didn't press it.
-Goodness.

Goodness.

Remember, the NIS can reimburse you
only for the money

spent on the wood carving.

I got it, brother.
I'll keep that in mind, brother.

I really needed this.

-You must be tired.
-Yes.

Is it okay for you to come here like this?

It'll be bad if the records show
you came to see me.

I made sure there are no problems.

-You've aged.
-I wasn't young to begin with.

These people won't let me sleep.

Is he okay?

He left.

I'm worried about sending him alone.

He'll be fine. Don't worry.

Sorry. I don't know how to face you.

Come on. That's not like you.

It was much worse
during the Jakarta mission.

Hang in there a little longer.
It'll be taken care of when he returns.

Okay. This tastes good.

The fourth item up for bid
is a wooden Pensive Bodhisattva.

This is it, right? It's here.

Focus.

Un-gwang.

Breathe.

Stay calm. Press the keys properly.

Of course, I will.

I'll be calm. I won't be nervous.

I'll be calm.

We'll open the bid at $800,000.

How much is $800,000?

Roughly about 1 billion won, I suppose?

That was quick.

Please focus. Aren't you going to bid?

Okay. $810,000.

Enter. I hope we can win it for cheap.
End it in one try.

I know.

-The current bid is $900,000.
-What?

Okay, $950,000.

The current bid is $1,500,000.

What's with the big jump?

-Make a counter bid.
-A counter bid?

Counter bid. $1,510,000.

The current bid is $2,000,000.

Whoever it is,
that jerk is coming on strong.

Fine. I'll take your $2,000,000

and raise you $345,678.

What is he doing?

This is fun.

The current bid is $3,000,000.

This person plans to counter
every bid we make.

-Right?
-Yes.

Fine. Let's try $3,010,000.

BID FAILED

From $3,000,000 on, the bids must be
in increments of $100,000.

Goodness. Let's try $3,100,000.
Okay, $3,100,000.

The current bid is $4,000,000.

Brother.

I have only $1,000,000 remaining.

We may run out of money at this rate.

Do-ha.

Plan B.

THE 12TH ASIA INVESTMENT FORUM

What is it?

Our transaction is over.

I have information
that you may want to make a deal for.

Songsan.

Black Auction ring.

Did I pique your interest?

-What do you want in exchange?
-I want romance with you.

Fine.

I don't need a fake deal.

Then business as usual.

Chairman Yamato made a deal with Songsan
in exchange for a wood carving.

UN-GWANG, DO-HA

Go toward Chairman Yamato at the table
in the third row, diagonally to your left.

Okay.

If we end up competing during the auction,
we'll be at a disadvantage.

-Take this.
-What is it?

Once you turn it on, all electronics
within one meter will freeze instantly.

If we need to use this tactic,
you must do it for me.

-Un-gwang. Hang in for a few minutes.
-Okay.

Okay, $4,100,000.

From $4,000,000 on, the bids must be
in increments of $1,000,000.

Okay, $5,000,000.

Remaining time to bid.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

-Do it. Quickly.
-What are you doing?

You can't stand here.

I have a question.

I'll set aside a time after for questions.

Right now. I have a question.

CURRENT BID $4,000,000

Okay.

You can't do this during a speech.

It's a very important question.

I'll set aside a time later.
Please escort her to her seat.

Please, sit down.

Just ten seconds.
Hang on for ten more seconds.

No. I must ask this question
right this instant.

-Please, leave.
-Goodness.

Wait.

It's because I don't quite understand.

Hold on. Wait a minute.

Let me go!

I'm just too curious.

The bidding is about to close.

-Counting down.
-Ignorance is not a crime.

I am not ashamed of myself!

Sold for $5,000,000. Congratulations.

My $5,000,000!

Excellent.

That was a great speech.
I have no questions.

I understood it perfectly.

Everyone who understood his speech,
please applaud him.

Applause, please.

My $5,000,000.

Do-ha, go to the concierge desk.

If you show them the Black Auction ring,
they will give you the key

to the room where the wood carving is.

-May I check the ring?
-Sure.

It has been confirmed.

Please enjoy your day.

BLUE HOTEL, ROOM 3313

The NIS agent who abducted me just saw me.

Don't worry. I'll follow you.

Do-ha Cha is acting strangely.

She went to the 33rd floor.

We'll go to the 33rd floor.

Not just within Asia,
but everywhere in the world.

I'm coming too.

It's okay. Just stick with the plan.

I'm in the hotel.

Retrieve the item
and take care of him quietly.

You can't fire your weapons.

Give us the bag.

The two targets fled toward
the west emergency exit.

Where's the staircase? Where's the video?

There are no cameras there.

All agents to the main entrance.

What did you want to say to me?

I have what you want.
