The Samhaphoe guys wouldn't have just sat back.

So how'd you handle it?

We made a deal for steady supply,

high-purity product.

Less risky,

and we cut the middlemen.

Can you get bulk quantities?

Twenty kilos have already come through.

Fifty more coming next month.

We're finally looking at decent money.

Yes, sir.

Here.

Good work.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Any progress on Singapore?

Thanks to your backing,

looks like we'll close the deal soon.

Seok Gu.

You ever think about...

how many people had to work...

just to get this one spoonful of rice on my table?

From growing the rice,

to selling it, distributing it,

and cooking it.

It goes through countless hands before reaching my table.

But in the end,

no matter how hard they worked,

none of that matters...

if I don't pick up this spoon.

Look.

Until I pick up my spoon,

you can't eat either.

That's power.

Haven't you figured it out?

Your parents spent their whole lives serving my family.

You can look up at the sky all you want,

but it won't change your position.

After all, we were born and raised in completely different worlds.

Yes, sir.

That old bastard still thinks...

I'm some stray dog living off his charity.

Let's see who ends up...

on their knees,

groveling at my feet.

Okay?

(No Mercy)

It must've been rough coming all the way here.

I'm Ma Seok Gu. Good to meet you.

That mom you're looking for?

She's right there with you. Look around.

Son of a bitch.

Ms. Wei Chang Yu?

(Episode 4)

Thank you.

Have we met before?

You look familiar.

I know that face.

Tell me the truth. We've met before, right?

Wouldn't it be weird...

if I said we hadn't?

It makes no sense to say...

we've never crossed paths...

in such a small world.

Especially since we share the same roots.

Right.

If you worked for Park Gye Soon,

we must've crossed paths sometime.

Let's talk more inside.

Hello, I'm Kim Mi Yang,

always here by your side for your job search.

I completely understand.

I'd like to send you a product...

with the same care as a mother would.

Is now a good time?

News says...

they're using voice technology to catch us.

So I got smart.

One voice, perfect disguise.

So I borrowed your mom.

Hi, I'm Kim Mi Yang, your trusty hiring manager.

- How can I help you today? - I'm Manager Kim Mi Yang.

I understand.

I've got a great product...

I'd like to recommend.

You're in on this too, right?

That crazy Kim Mi Yang turned my son into a criminal.

Mom!

What do I do?

Your verification is complete.

First off,

I did some digging into you, Ms. Wei Chang Yu.

But anyone can forge documents like this,

so I can't fully trust it.

This piece of paper won't convince me.

Let me cut to the chase.

Why did Park Gye Soon's person come crawling in here?

She just wanted to share what she had.

Let's say you're stranded on an island with a friend.

You're starving for days,

then suddenly a pig shows up.

What would you do?

How would you handle it?

You'd have to kill your friend then.

So you can have the pig all to yourself.

Park Gye Soon didn't get that.

She's too busy sharing.

At the end of the day, you took it all from her, didn't you?

Even her life.

That's why you betrayed the group that raised you...

and came here?

After more than a decade? Just like that?

That means you could stab me in the back anytime.

To me,

you're not my friend. You're the pig.

Why is that?

If you kill your friend,

people just point fingers, then it's over.

But...

no one in their right mind would cut open a pig...

after raising its worth so high.

This thing about greed...

once you feed it, it just keep growing.

Since I've got the skills,

so I should fatten up the pig properly.

The bigger it gets,

the more satisfying it'll be.

So basically,

you'll fatten me up...

and sell me at my highest value.

Holding back hunger...

for the product's future value.

I love the sound of that.

But...

Why are you doing this?

You did your homework on what I like,

but I told you. I don't trust easily.

I don't trust papers,

and I sure won't fall for smooth speeches.

Tell me straight.

Who sent you?

How can I make you believe me?

Prove you're not a double agent yourself.

That's where I'll begin trusting you.

Ever heard of the Heungsami clan?

This guy is their spy.

Hey.

This is the Ilseong clan.

And this one is the Heungsami clan.

They're the top dogs in northeastern China.

That's them.

I'm curious to see.

In the end, let's see who goes down,

me or her.

The choice is yours.

I'll be waiting.

I'm working my ass off because of someone,

and you still have time to think.

I'm sorry, chief.

Once we wrap up the investigation on Lee Seung Tae,

we'll hand him over to the prosecutors.

Case closed.

Wait, chief.

Did Lee Seung Tae talk about...

where the Ilseong clan's base is?

That punk doesn't know anything.

The only thing he knew in Korea was where the captain lived.

But that guy vanished too.

Looks like they threw some small fish under the bus...

to protect the big guy.

What's the point of nabbing the small fry?

Will they even get punished properly?

They do their time, get out,

and they're square with the law.

That's not justice.

That's just killing time until they're back on the streets.

What's going on?

It makes sense.

I almost turned into a papa's boy.

Thank you, sir.

I'm leaving.

Hey.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

(Evidence storage room)

Here's where they kept it.

(The crackdown on voice phishing operations)

Sorry for being rude earlier, especially since we know each other.

You must be hungry after the long trip.

Have some meat.

Feed that to Happy.

Hey, you're lucky as hell today, right?

Eat up while it's fresh.

To bring you in,

I needed to know you're on my side.

You're obviously talented,

so I was getting impatient.

Honey,

my phone died, so I borrowed a temporary one from the store.

It's text-only.

You should've been more careful.

I've got a work call coming up.

So I need to get a new phone fast.

Yeah, that's just how it is.

Problem is,

I need my ID to activate it,

and I forgot my wallet.

Take photos of both sides of my ID...

and text them over.

Man,

Can't believe pieces of shit like this are still out there.

Don't you agree, everyone?

It's hard to believe scum like this still exists.

So you really did send those pictures?

Yes.

Later, the bank called my husband,

asking if he really moved all $60,000

from our account.

Everyone.

the scammers used...

the victim's ID photos...

to set up mobile banking.

The problem is,

then they can pull out big money easily.

It reveals the weak spots in the financial companies'

digital services.

Thanks to you,

numbers have been through the roof.

But now that it's blown up,

everyone's going to copy us.

In that case,

it's time for a fresh approach.

Right?

We've got...

a new motto.

Bleed each target dry.

Volume and small scores are...

for the amateurs at the call center.

We recruited you,

so show us what you got.

I'll do my best.

Good.

Let's fatten up the pig real good.

Okay?

It's all...

about the intel, not the skills.

Everyone uses this database.

So we need a different angle, right?

This is the database we'll be using.

Likes,

favorite foods,

hobbies,

special skills,

voice tone,

and speaking style.

Kim has disappeared.

Really? Since when?

Since before the illegal gambling house got exposed,

so it's been over a week.

That son of a bitch is hiding money from me?

Isn't it a bit strange?

Strange how?

Why did she come through Mr. Kim, of all people?

It could happen.

The day she joined the call center,

the Korean handler was caught,

and Mr. Kim disappeared too.

He's now on the wanted list.

Something's off, right?

Dig deeper on Wei Chang Yu.

Use solid sources.

Check everything.

Yes, sir.

With just the internet,

we can easily figure this out.

So, using deep voice...

Deep voice is...

a method we've always used, and you know it.

That's not it. What I'm trying to say is...

Our team lead told me...

you're great at finding people's weak spots.

Let me ask one thing.

What's my weakness then?

If you worked for Park Gye Soon,

you must've learned something.

Are there any old phones...

or tablets?

(Build number)

Phone, please.

If devices logged into the same account...

are in China and Korea,

a call from China...

shows up as a Korean number.

Cops caught on.

This trick's dead.

It's dead?

Thailand's been doing this for a while.

If we can't get ahead of others,

we at least can't fall behind, right?

Let's take a short break.

Make an obituary...

and put it up here.

Isn't this a fancy apartment complex?

How do we handle it?

You clearly know what you're doing.

The lighter...

or the work?

What's your game?

Tell me what you want from me.

I want to hold a position here.

Yeah, that look.

It wasn't ordinary from day one.

I really like it.

For a deal like that,

prove yourself with performance.

Instead of begging outright like this,

make me look for your help.

That's much classier.

Proving with performance is...

only natural.

(Obituary)

(Message sent)

What?

Nice timing.

(Two unread messages)

So Min made it to China after all.

Awesome.

Yeah.

Let's see what we can do.

(Connection failed)

We infected the phone and turned it into a zombie phone.

The phone I'm handling...

has no real personal data.

It seems like a secondary phone.

All I see are...

idol photos.

Remember what I said?

This is the time for a pro...

to find a way in.

Want me to do a demo?

What we do is customer satisfaction service.

Understand the clients' needs...

and meet them completely.

The key is...

natural connection.

The easiest way is to let them sleep.

Make it feel like a dream, not real life.

Then they're bound to pay...

for the service on their own.

(Lee Gi Myung)

Hold on.

Okay.

Hello?

Hi, Mr. Lee Gi Myung.

This is Cho Hwa Young from Howl Coffee's event team speaking.

You applied for Rosanna's fan meeting,

but unfortunately, you didn't get chosen.

Yeah, I know.

Since the competition was so fierce this time,

we've planned a surprise event...

where fans who didn't win can have...

a brief one-minute call with Rosanna.

Really?

You've won the one-minute call event...

with Rosanna.

Yay!

We'll begin your one-minute call.

Hope you make some great memories.

Hi, Gi Myung.

I'm so happy to talk to you.

It's Rosanna.

Hi.

How long have you been my fan?

Today marks 2,571 days.

Really?

What?

You've been a fan since my debut.

That's amazing, I'm touched.

I was front row at your concert with your first album.

You pointed at the guy...

with the bunny ears.

That was me.

My goodness, I remember that.

Please release your fifth album soon.

I've been waiting so long.

Right.

About the fifth album...

Unfortunately, your one-minute call ends here.

Wait, hello?

Rosanna wasn't done talking yet.

Please continue supporting Howl Coffee.

Thank you for participating.

Have a great day.

Hello? Hello...

Wow.

You're good at acting.

Wipe that grin off your face...

unless you want to die here.

Death threats now?

And you're supposed to be a cop?

Hello?

Hello? Is this Mr. Lee Gi Myung?

I'm Rosanna's manager.

Please don't share what I'm about to say.

Or if it ends up in court,

it'll be bad for both of us.

Rosanna said...

she wants to be in touch with you personally.

What?

She wants to keep in touch with me?

Why?

I want to speak with Rosanna.

Actually,

she's not in the mood to take a call at the moment.

One moment, please.

Rosanna.

Do you want to talk to Gi Myung?

No.

What's going on?

The thing is,

she just found out they canceled her fifth album.

I told you not to say anything.

What do you mean?

The production went over budget,

now we're in trouble.

We had everything lined up,

and now this.

I've waited so long for this comeback.

How can I face my fans now?

Is there anything...

I can do to help?

No,

It doesn't feel right accepting help from fans.

Let me talk to Rosanna again.

I'll try talking to her.

Gi Myung.

What do you mean?

Well,

I have a small startup.

We recently got some investment,

I've got some cash on hand.

You've given me so much through your music. Let me help you.

Gi Myung.

Thank you so much.

How can I ever repay you?

I just have one favor to ask.

On the last day of the concert,

you said something to us. Remember?

Just do that once.

That's all I need.

What do you mean?

You know, the thing you always say thinking of us.

Your trademark.

I see.

That?

You didn't forget it, did you?

That's impossible.

Are you really Rosanna?

Yes, I am.

I'm Rosanna.

I really am.

Really?

Jeez.

Hey, how's it going?

I've asked around,

but strangely,

nobody knows anything about Wei Chang Yu.

Is that so?

Okay then.

Why are you doing this to me?

What on earth are you doing?

Hey.

Let her be.

What's your relationship with this psycho bitch?

Who are you?

I'm here to deal with this bitch.

Who are you?

I'm just a fan.

I don't know the full story, but violence isn't...

What's wrong...

with collecting money someone owes?

That's...

Stay out of this if you don't want to die.

I'm calling the police.

What? The Police?

Go ahead, try it.

Please, stop.

Who beats a woman that brutally?

What?

Seems like you want to pay for her.

You don't know what you're getting into.

I'll pay the debt.

I'll give you the money.

What did you just say?

I'm not sure exactly how much it is, but I'll take care of the debt.

Really?

Try it if you can.

It's $500,000.

$500,000?

No, Gi Myung.

I'll...

give you the money.

So please stop harassing Rosanna.

Then fine, I can't argue with that.

Leave it in locker 22...

Seoul Station, Exit 9 before seven tonight.

If you go to the police...

No, never. I won't call the police.

This is the price of my mom's life.

Field, just picked up the black money.

All done here.

(Transaction history)

Damn it, it's money.

- Money. - My goodness.

Hey, hang on.

Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...

500,000.

Is this really $500,000?

What's our highest single-day sales?

$1 million.

What's the most anyone's ever made in one day?

$70,000?

- Wasn't it $100,000? - $100,000?

Looks like Chang Yu broke that record.

Wei Chang Yu just made...

a whopping $500,000 from just one client.

To celebrate our new leader Wei Chang Yu,

let's party hard today!

Let's party.

Here, drink up.

Nice.

Hey, tell me.

What did you learn while working for Park Gye Soon?

Are you that curious...

about what I learned from her?

Yes, I'm dying to know.

She could do anything. I'm fucking jealous.

Before she died,

did she teach you how to mesmerize people?

If so, I want to learn too.

It's not just how to mesmerize people.

This place is really different from our previous shop.

It's like...

that place was in the shadows,

while this one's in the light.

Mr. Ma.

Don't you want to come outside?

You're sharp.

Here's the thing. I want to do business...

I can help you...

go legitimate and turn this into a real business.

Man, Wei Chang Yu.

What you just said is nuts.

Help?

You're offering to...

help me?

I'll teach you how to charm people...

like I learn from Park Gye Soon.

But first,

promise me one thing.

Promise?

I'll teach you,

then make sure I earn more than what I've taught you.

This is insane.

You're drunk.

Damn it, you think I'm drunk?

Yes, I'm drunk.

I'm drunk on you.

I'm drunk on Wei Chang Yu.

This stuff is pricey, so drink up.

It's all yours, Chang Yu.

I'll walk you inside.

Come on.

I'm the boss, and you refuse?

I don't go easy on women.

Come on, drink up. Keep drinking.

Dude, why are you just standing there? Dance.

You're a dancing machine.

Have fun. Let's party.

No.

You can't rest yet.

Let's see.

Hey.

Our mascot.

Hello,

I'm Manager Kim Mi Yang.

Who is that?

You know,

some horribly unlucky lady.

How so?

I killed her myself.

Thanks for everything.

I'll make good use of your voice.

There goes another one.

Hey.

You know what's easier than...

getting caught by the cops?

Killing someone and making a mascot.

Ta-da.

Let's see.

Hey.

Can you see it?

Do you want this?

It's from that girl who always got her nails done.

What do you say?

You seem really drunk.

Hey.

I'm giving it to you. You don't like it?

Not just anyone gets it.

Fine then.

Jeez.

Gosh.

(Chairman)

You've got a call from the chairman.

Mr. Ma.

What?

You have a call.

Damn it.

Yes, Chairman.

One moment, please.

Move.

The ledger?

Yes, we had a good month. You're going to love the numbers.

Don't worry.

(Photomoment)

Let's see.

Damn it.

Chairman.

Could you hold on a second?

I'll call you right back.

Thank you.

Crap.

(Connection failed)

(Installing)

Damn it.

(Installing)

Hey, just leave her be.

First up,

show me how they have everything set up overall.

(Hacked)

Well, well.

Look at that setup.

High-end audio surveillance,

that's not cheap.

Chairman, so...

you want me to just give up the books?

Chen Yao Qing from Sunset Group was arrested two days ago.

Macau's toast.

Then where will the big mainland money go?

That's why I was assigned Singapore.

You said you'd make me big...

in Singapore with the junket business.

Seok Gu.

Yes, sir.

How's the Singapore contract coming along?

You mean, L. TM Agency?

It's in the final stages.

Once we lock funding, we can seal the deal quickly.

Trust me, I'm sure of it.

Listen.

I got you this far because of that confidence.

But you know what?

When I say something like this,

there's meaning and philosophy behind it.

I'm not sure what you mean.

The L. TM Agency in Singapore is going to sign with us.

Wait, Chairman.

Wait.

What do you mean?

Just hand over the ledger and back off.

I'll find you another business.

How could you do that?

I invested in Singapore because of this one business.

I knew the Macau market would go south,

so I'd already been building a base in Singapore.

Do you...

still don't know me?

I wish you had half the instincts of Park Gye Soon.

Fuck, how long has Park Gye Soon been dead?

And he's still obsessing over her.

Kim Doo Sik, you fucking asshole!

Hey,

bring over the lowest performer here.

The one who's been taking my money...

and not making anything.

Now!

Fucking idiots.

Hey.

It's you?

Hey.

Damn it.

How much did you make this month?

$5,000.

How much did you take from me?

That's...

You want me to tell you?

Seven grand base, plus 50 percent commission,

plus I cover your food and housing.

That sums up to $10,000, you son of a bitch.

Does that sound fair?

Do you think this makes any sense?

I'll work harder.

I swear I'll raise the profits this time.

Just give me one more chance.

Listen.

I got you this far because of your desperation.

But you know what?

When I say something like this,

there's meaning and philosophy behind it.

You're taking my money,

and this is how you pay back the favor?

You're the reason...

You're the reason our company...

is in such a mess, you son a bitch.

Damn it.

Did you just grab my leg with those filthy hands?

I can't stand this bastard. Get rid of him.

Get him out of here.

and bring me his hands.

Fuck off!

This is a great time to stir things up.

We have to act before Chairman Kim.

I'm talking about a project...

that CEO Ma would find irresistible.

I hit the jackpot.

It's so nice out.

How's your hangover?

Don't ask, I feel like crap.

Damn it.

I could do better than him.

That sly old bastard.

Mr. Ma.

You know exactly how to rise to the top.

Do you know Jenga, the board game?

You stack it high as you want,

but if the foundation's weak...

it all comes down.

Organizations are the same.

The boss needs...

someone to watch his back.

Otherwise, they crumble under any pressure.

That's why...

I told you I'd help.

I just learned something really interesting.

Guess what?

This Wei Chang Yu,

is this the same person as this Wei Chang Yu here?

(Kim Mi Yang)

(No Mercy)

Do you know Mason Dedrick?

I may not know Mason personally,

but I know his right-hand man well.

Any update on what I asked?

Word from Samhaphoe is that...

Eric Choi's pulling Mason's strings.

I knew he wouldn't fall for it easily.

We need to lure Ma Seok Gu to Korea quickly...

so we can do anything.

He's starting a new project...

without my agreement?

What are you doing here?

You knew all about it, didn't you?

This is Kim Doo Sik's doing, isn't it?

He's trying to take my stuff again!

You have five hours, Eric.

That's how long you have to get home in one piece.
