ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, AND EVENTS
IN THIS WORK ARE FICTITIOUS

ALL MINORS WERE FILMED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH STANDARD PRODUCTION GUIDELINES

They said Dad can get
his hearing back

if we have money.

Snow Fairy Sugar.

Please turn the snow
that falls like crazy into money

like in cartoons.

Help my dad get surgery.

It's been about a 7km walk
from Cheonggye Plaza to here.

Are you on a date with me or what?

We'll get attached at this rate!

Stop whining. We're almost there.

What trick are you pulling right now?

You wanted a documentary proposal.

Just follow me.

Seriously.

It had better be that proposal.

It was you who got J into action

and created the supernote.

And

you already knew that a counterfeit
100-dollar bill was stuffed

in the dead Choi Do-sik's mouth.

Yes, you know way too much.

That's how you almost got killed.

But here's the thing

you know nothing

about supernote distribution.

I have something to report.

Come back later if it isn't urgent.

The autopsy results are in.

The Incheon murder case.

Come outside.

EPISODE 5:
PLAN A AND PLAN B; GAME OF DECEPTION

We recovered a bullet fragment

from the victim's thigh
in the liquor warehouse.

It's 9mm Major.

A round that was made
through a workaround in Europe

for use in civilian handguns.

Is this Sergeant Jung?

Yes.

It's written in the report.
Give me one moment.

Hey, what was it again?

The bullet inside Choi Do-sik.
What type was it?

It's 9mm Major.

It's called 9mm Major.

It's not something you see in Korea.

SINDAP RAILWAY BRIDGE, CHEONGGYECHEON

Back under Park Chung Hee,
they covered up Cheonggyecheon

with concrete
to build the Cheonggye Overpass

and restored it in the early 2000s.

So what?

From Cheonggye Plaza where we started

to under that Sindap Railway Bridge
you see over there.

That's the stretch
they covered back then.

What does that
have to do with your proposal?

Gosh, your temper.

How come you're so impatient?

Seriously.

All right. This is the core
of the real documentary pitch

so listen carefully.

Seoul in the 1960s.

They said they were building

the Cheonggye Overpass
to improve traffic.

But the real reason was
to prepare for war.

They covered up Cheonggyecheon

to build escape tunnels
and bunkers underground.

You're saying there's a tunnel
under Cheonggyecheon?

It's 30m down.

We go 30m underground

move forward 7km

then come up 30m to the surface

and we're on Cheonggye-ro.

And less than 10m from there is

KC Bank headquarters.

That building right there is
the place we met two hours ago

and our target.

KC Bank is scheduled to move
to a new headquarters in two weeks.

Before that

they're transferring
2.25 trillion won in cash

and the VIP safe-deposit boxes
to the new building.

There will be
three cash-transport operations.

Next Wednesday is their first run.

How much are we taking?

It's 500 billion won.

Before the transport even begins

we walk out with 500 billion won

and leave counterfeit bills
in their place.

You're telling me the counterfeits

won't be noticeable?

Here.

This is my guys' work.

What's this?

Are you sure this is fake?

High-precision counterfeit.

A so-called supernote.

That's insane.

I'm keeping this as a souvenir.

But from here to KC Bank looks like

at least 20 to 30 meters.

We hired
a Chinese gold-mine excavation team

with 30 years of experience

and they've been digging
for a month already.

The passage is secured.

Let's check it out.

You don't trust me?

Me? Trust you?

I have to see it to believe it.

Especially when it's coming from you.

KC FINANCIAL GROUP

Careful.

What do you think?

You lunatic!

This is what I call
a documentary proposal, you punk!

You're out of your mind!

You slick son of a bitch.

You lovable bastard!

All right!

J killed Do-sik, right?

I don't know.

We confirmed

that J took the counterfeit bills
and met up with Do-sik.

Yes, there was a time

when he took 25 billion won
in counterfeit cash

and came back empty-handed.

About five days
before I called in the tip

to the NIS

J and I went out together
for the first time in a while.

5 DAYS BEFORE THE TIP-OFF

He's not here yet.
It's been two hours.

He called and said
he'd reschedule for tomorrow.

He's got zero intention
of doing this deal.

- It's hot!
- Sorry.

- That's so hot!
- I'm sorry.

What were you even looking at?

Yes, my eyes are crooked.

What?

Cops are on us.

Listen to me.

Go outside

grab a commercial taxi,
license plate 8508

and say you're going
to Jangchung Arena.

We've met with Choi Do-sik.

Well, a welcome passenger
after two hours.

Go to Jangchung Arena, please.

Goodness.

I almost got a stiff neck
waiting for you, sir.

Two hours isn't exactly a short time.

You could have come out
a little sooner.

You kept me waiting for two hours.

Let's talk naturally, sir.

J?

That 97% pure meth

I'm trying to buy for 50 billion won.

That's Joong-hyuk's product,
isn't it?

How did you...

I know that bastard Joong-hyuk.

He's getting more and more arrogant.

He's trashed
every bit of industry etiquette.

That two-faced son of a bitch.

I came because you said
you were investing 50 billion.

I didn't come to listen
to you talk trash about people.

You're right.

We should talk business.

There's a 97% pure meth
production plant in Incheon.

From manufacturing to shipping

it's locked down so tight
that not even security cameras

can catch anything.

And right now

they've got products
worth 100 billion won finished.

You extract all of it

you take your promised 50 billion

and we split the product 50-50.

Do you seriously think
that's possible?

All right.

Listen carefully from here on out.

Joong-hyuk has a secret
underground route

into his drug plant.

Because of toxic fumes called

formalin that come out
during production

they have to vent it every day.

So, from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.

the plant shuts down.

There's a sewer tunnel 6m underground

and it's a drainage route built to
prevent flooding during rainy season.

It's so safe that no one can know

unless they're local rats and cats.

That's why Joong-hyuk

doesn't pay much attention
to security down there.

You're the hottest drug dealer
in the country

so selling top-shelf meth
you bring out

will be nothing for you.

And you get

your 50 billion that I promised.

How long are you going to keep living

getting looked down on
by a guy like him?

It's a deal.

Let's do it.

The day J was supposed to meet Do-sik

after he stole the drugs

J told Joong-hyuk
that Do-sik robbed the stash.

What?

- What?
- What is it?

Hey, Do-sik.

Have you been having
a hard time lately?

Fuck.

Hand it over, you bastard.

What a pathetic piece of shit.

So

you're saying Joong-hyuk chased
Do-sik down and shot him?

Is that what you're saying?

I only laid out the circumstances.

You're the one
who has to find the evidence.

Joong-hyuk shot him.
That part is true.

But

what about the bill in his mouth?

Why are you asking me that?

You don't remember
what you said yesterday?

You said it was staged by the guy
who put the bill in his mouth.

It was J, wasn't it?

What the hell is he plotting?

There is no security footage.

One Jung-gu Police Station detective
is set up to take the fall.

And they're

pushing the narrative
that the killer was a junkie.

Meanwhile

some random asshole is claiming
the illegal fight club is his.

So, the conclusion is

that Joong-hyuk has
nothing to do with any of this.

Why not investigate the bullet found
in the victim's thigh?

The murder weapon was a knife

and they found
the killer's prints on it.

They're focused
on getting a confession.

Getting a confession is one thing.

Can't you assign a detective or two
to trace where that round was bought?

That's the police's job.

We

focus on the supernote case, okay?

Jang Joong-hyuk, that bastard.

I have a feeling
he'll slip out once again.

Darn it!

Where are you going
without reporting?

To interrogate Han Soo-hyun.

Talk to me.

Didn't you come to spill everything?

The third member.

The doctor is here.

A woman in her mid-30s.

J called her "Dr. Choi."

Dr. Choi?

She was J's mole planted
on Joong-hyuk's side.

He asked her to manufacture

some kind of chemical agent

for Plan B.

Jeez.

I can't even figure out Plan A,
and now there's a Plan B?

And what's the deal
with the chemical agent?

Every substance causes
different chemical reactions

and leads to oxidation and corrosion.

We need to derive

the reactive elements
that match our operation.

Here.

The chemical formula is NaCIO3.

It triggers powerful oxidation
and corrosion

in an acidic aqueous solution.

Bring me Han Soo-hyun's phone
that we confiscated.

That's really all you know?

Yes.

Right.

How would you know their Plan B

when you don't even know
what Plan A is?

A chemical agent

that oxidizes and corrodes material.

Why?

Why exactly?

What for?

What do you think?

So

this is 500 billion won
in counterfeit bills, right?

Oh, man.

It's rough.

That's impressive.

It's perfect.

Nice.

It's unbelievable.

It tastes good.

There's something

I need your help with.

Ask me.

Anything.

BANK OF KOREA

I heard B&A Security
was KC Bank's cash transport firm.

But your bank runs two-track security

with B&A Security and Secure, right?

- Your two security companies.
- Yes, so?

From now on

route the jobs through B&A Security.

Our group owns eight savings banks.

How can B&A's headcount handle that?

They can barely handle KC Bank alone.

J is using that exact weakness.

Who is he?

He prepared them in advance.

They're former and current
cash-transport security agents.

Every one of them is
a high-risk credit delinquent.

He cut deals with them
for 500,000 dollars as a signing fee.

So, his plan is to merge KC Bank
with the outsourced contractor

to push new hires and plant moles?

All you need to do is

keep an eye on the people
with acquisition rights over B&A.

Even without your 10%
out of 300 billion won in profit

it's still 270 billion
getting wired to the Eul Society.

That would cover

next year's budget,
even after funding the election.

What do you mean, "270 billion"?

The amount going to the Eul Society
is 500 billion won.

You said J would take half.

Oh, come on.

You've been living

with high society for too long.

You've lost your edge.

My ten percent.

We must make it 50 billion.

That's good. I like that.

Sure.

Joong-hyuk said he'd shut down
the drug plant for a while.

Instead

he asked me to make a gas bomb.

A gas bomb?

It's called toluene.

It releases a huge amount
of toxic gas as it burns.

If inhaled, it can melt
a person's lungs in ten seconds.

It's extremely lethal.

That's Joong-hyuk for you.

Just like I expected.

When we pull out
500 billion won in real cash

he plans to intercept all of it
in the middle.

So, that's how you want to play it?

Plan A and Plan B.

We run both at the same time.

Boss.

What's the target for Plan B?

The Bank of Korea.

These element symbols
on Soo-hyun's phone.

They're a list
of chemical reactions that occur

when fiber materials
oxidize and corrode.

Got it. Leave us.

Fiber material?

A chemical agent that oxidizes
and corrodes fiber?

Banknotes aren't paper.

They're fiber. Short-staple fiber.

Worn-out bills.

He's going to turn freshly printed
counterfeits into worn-out bills!

Why would he do that
right before distribution?

Exactly.

Right?

It doesn't make sense.

Darn it.

Come on.

Worn-out bills.

Why?

You're so disgusting
that I can't even sit with you.

Why turn perfectly fine bills
into worn-out bills?

RECYCLE

Yes.

Exchanging mutilated currency!

You scared me.

"Exchanging mutilated currency"?

Burned, stained,
torn, and worn-out bills.

The bills sent to the Bank of Korea
for disposal each year

are enough to fill
a hundred five-ton trucks.

That bastard, J.

He's going to turn 500 billion
in supernotes into worn-out bills

and submit an exchange request
to the Bank of Korea.

Then, they shred and incinerate them

and hand over brand-new bills,
fresh off the press.

That's how you switch
from counterfeit

to real cash instantly,
with zero evidence left behind.

He gets to secure
500 billion won in one move.

It's me.

Call the Bank of Korea to see
if any bank requested

to exchange 500 billion won
in 50,000-won notes

as mutilated currency for new bills.

Myeongseong Thrift Institution

requested an exchange
for 500 billion in worn-out bills.

When is the approval?

Next Thursday at 10:30 a.m.

Call Myeongseong
and tell them to cancel the request.

Right now.

Hold on.

What about J?

How am I supposed to catch the rat
if you block up the rathole?

Listen.

We've got plenty of time
until next Thursday.

If J comes

to the Bank of Korea like he planned,
we grab him there.

Keep that in mind.

What's wrong now, Team Leader?

Stop being so childish.

You're making it hard
for the team to work.

Smile a little.

No matter what I tell the team

you're still our team leader, okay?

Even if I catch him,
you're getting the credit.

What did I even do now?

Also

I am

going to catch J myself.

All right. To the conference room.

Man, I hate you.

You're even more annoying
because you're so slick.

5 DAYS BEFORE D-DAY

NO CALLER ID

Where are you rushing off so early,
skipping work?

D-Day's in five days,
and you've got time to call me?

The part you were
supposed to handle was sloppy

so I made time to nag at you.

This bastard.

I let you share a table
with me a few times

and now you're getting cocky.

Aren't you?

Cocky.

Since I'm already being cocky

should I get even cockier?

I'm moving D-Day to the last day

of KC Bank's cash transport.

You piece of shit.

Hey! Are you messing with me?

The outsourced
cash-transport contractor

and the experienced-hire paperwork
for B&A Security.

We need a perfect alibi

so Chairman Bang
doesn't suspect anything

and you won't end up in a tough spot.

But the thing Chairman Bang's side
promised to do is so sloppy

that I'm moving D-Day
to the last day.

I'll lay it out again from the start

so if you think you're too dumb

write it down.

You know this.

Money solves everything in Korea.

Stuff enough cash
into B&A's CEO's pocket

put out his little fire

and in exchange,
tell him to fix the paperwork

so the moles I planted look
like they were hired

three months ago.

Do I really have to nag you

like some mother-in-law?

Do I?

Chairman Bang, your boss

is an ambitious man
with dreams big enough

to bankroll a secret organization
called the Eul Society.

But on something this big

he wants to invest nothing
and eat for free.

Why are people so cheap these days?

You.

How do you know Eul Society?

Is there anything I don't know?

You see

unlike you, Detective Jang

I don't solve crises with a gun.

I solve them with this.

My head.

Isn't it basic to run
background checks on the cast

before starting a job?

That way, when trouble hits

we have leverage and an escape route.

Now that D-Day is postponed

do your job right.

You idiot!

And there's one more variable.

One member who held
a grudge against me

walked right into the NIS
and turned herself in.

But the problem is

that she was the one
who made the supernotes.

So, I've got no clue

how much she'll talk over there.

So

just in case

I've prepared Plan B.

What?

We'll see on the day before D-Day

and decide whether we run
Plan A or Plan B.

Oh, I'm going to share Plan B

so don't get paranoid, okay?

That would be petty.

Stop the bullshit

and share Plan B immediately.

Since you love proposals so much

I'm drafting it at the moment.

Give me two hours.

The prep for Plan B is

so simple that it's not even
comparable to Plan A.

It'll be ready by the day
before the last day

so don't worry.

People call my network
an MLM network.

When you tossed me that proposal

you think I didn't run it
by my own network?

Her name is Han Soo-hyun, right?

That bitch who walked into the NIS.

She's getting interrogated just fine.

Listening to what she's been
running her mouth about over there

this crossed my mind.

"What if

the two of you are working together?

The technician

goes into the NIS
to throw the investigation off

while the architect

plays me and the NIS
at the same time?"

If my concern is correct

what's the bluff

and what's real?

Your Plan A.

It was detailed and real.

The presentation was perfect.

But when you think about it

it's too dangerous

and too complicated.

You said Plan B was simple.

So, the card you're holding.

Is that Plan B?

Dozens of expert diggers.

Plan A cost you a fortune, didn't it?

Would you really use a plan
you worked that hard on

as a bluff?

I told you, didn't I?

We'll see on the day
before the last day

and pick one of the two plans.

Gosh, that brain of yours.

Maybe my little comment

about using your head
got on your nerves.

That's why you're rambling on
about how smart you are.

Fine.

Detective Jang.

You are not dumb.

You're smart.

I disrespected you to your face.

Let's just say

I was concerned about my partner.

Yes.

Think of it as a matter of caution.

Please be generous and let it go.

Okay?

All right.

I'll wait.

But if that day

you try to backstab me

I'm rounding up

your whole crew.

Be my guest.

RECENTS

CHOI CHANG-SEOK

NIS

- Yes, sir.
- Did you find anything?

Han Soo-hyun?

J and Han Soo-hyun.

There's something
going on between them.

I have a feeling
they're working together.

I already told you everything
about what happened eight years ago.

Dig deeper.

Deeper!

You met me twelve years ago

when I caught you getting high

and going to orgies.

I get it.

I only need to run
her full background

and see if there's any link with J

right?

This bastard.

You always make me talk too much.

I won't give you too much time.

Now, that's fresh air.

Detective Choi, where are you headed?

The illegal gambling incident

is all cleaned up and closed.

The guy who came in for you

got his statement fabricated
and was released this morning.

I didn't know you were

handling business
for the Eul Society.

How did you know?

You know

my family is qualified
to be in that circle

but they never contacted me.

I'm almost 60 now.

Shouldn't I get to be
the chief before I die?

I'll set up a meeting.

Visit Seoul sometime.

You're leaving already?

I was going to buy you
an expensive drink.

Can't you cancel your plans?

I'm busy. Let's drink another time.

Joong-hyuk,
we have to drink next time.

Promise me!

Welcome back.

- Boss!
- Boss!

Big Boss told us not
to act like thugs.

Cigarette.

Can you dress a little more freely?

Why is everybody dressed the same?

- Sorry, Boss.
- Did you go to the same store?

Fucking idiots.

If Big Boss sees me like this,
he'll lose his mind.

Who do you think you're honking at?

Where are you going?

You're here, Boss.

You want to let everyone know
you're a gangster?

Get in.

What brings you
all the way to this dump?

You suffered after eating
government rations for a few days.

Get some real food in you.

Thank you, Boss.

Do a job for me next Thursday.

It might get rough.

We're having a meeting.

Come to Pearl House
in Songdo tonight.

Yes, Boss.

Ta-da!

All right.

If you've changed your mind

leave the 500,000 dollars here
and walk away.

There's no way we change our minds.
Don't worry.

All right, then. Let's go.
