Original subtitles

(The Player 2: Master of Swindlers)

(All people, organizations, incidents, and locations...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

Everyone, freeze.

Your confession has been nicely recorded.

You committed the same fraud as me.

The losses were ten million dollars!

They were the people who were conned by you first, Mr. Myeong.

Conned for real by you once,

and fake conned by us another time.

And your 30 million dollars will go back to the victims.

Myeong Ji Ho. You're under arrest for leasing fraud.

Take him away.

(Previously)

I heard you were in quite a tough situation.

You don't have to worry.

Prosecutor Kwak just contacted me.

Mr. Myeong...

died while being transported to the prosecutors' office.

Leader Im... He's a total cult leader.

I will expose the truth...

behind Junneungsun Jinrigyo.

Name, Im Sang Sik.

He's the head of Junneungsun Jinrigyo.

He's the leader of a cult.

All followers who testified about the truth behind Leader Im...

all went missing.

This is scary.

A hunt for the treasure Leader Im has hidden.

Ha Ri. Can you hear me?

Kim Han Jun from Brincetin Theological Seminary.

Okay. Let's get started.

"Yahweh of Armies said..."

- For the Truth. - For the Truth.

Did Jin Woong make it inside all right?

He's working on the job and the romance department too.

- What about Soo Min? - Gosh.

- She's definitely something else. - For the Truth and Eternity!

You gave 500,000 dollars on your 1st day joining our church.

Starting tomorrow, Mr. Kim will join us for our volunteer service.

This is Nogyang Retirement Village.

The goal isn't to do charity work but to gather new followers.

It was built recently,

and many seniors with some money moved in.

Is the next step Director Bae?

Let's start the bloody battle to be the successor.

This is Ms. Lee Sun Ja. She turned 80 this year.

She has over 50 million dollars.

She is persuaded easily.

Get rid of all of the other oldies.

- Let's focus on Ms. Lee Sun Ja. - It's so hot.

Director Bae right here witnessed something interesting.

I saw everything.

This elderly woman here...

is an actress you hired, no?

What? What's going on?

What are you doing right now?

Sir!

Please believe me. I clearly saw it with my eyes!

You will have to take on an important role.

I'll show you...

my sacred place.

I'll be honored, sir.

There's something I must take care of now.

So I will get going.

What's this?

- What's going on? - Leader Im.

There is something I need to tell you in private.

I read people's minds very well.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'll warn you ahead of time.

Tonight will be much more fun...

than you imagined.

What is it this time?

Darn it.

- A prosecutor is here. - What?

He's trying to barge in.

What nonsense is that? I already called and made sure...

He's not after us.

- He's looking for her. - Why?

She's wanted for cryptocurrency investment scams.

So you were telling the truth?

(Revival Meeting for Junneungsun Jinrigyo)

You're under arrest for fraud. Let's go.

(Revival Meeting for Junneungsun Jinrigyo)

(Episode 9)

How is she?

Physically speaking, she's all right.

But she's still asleep because the drugs haven't worn off.

This criminal charge will stick.

Let's indict and arrest Leader Im right away.

We're getting close.

We must raid his sacred place to make this arrest foolproof.

- I will be able to... - What if...

What if she was...

still at the church, not here with us?

Kang Ha Ri. Do you know what's even more awful?

What happened today could happen tomorrow just as easily.

I agree with you. But if we arrest him now...

Your chief prosecutor...

accepted a lot of money from Leader Im as bribes.

Did you know that?

I'm looking for her guardian.

What?

Where's Jin Woong?

Jin Woong.

Hey, Jin Woong.

Where are you going?

I know everything. Okay?

I know what you're thinking. But let's be patient just this once.

Byung Min. Scumbags like Leader Im shouldn't exist in this world.

I can't let him breathe...

even for a second as a human being in this world.

Jin Woong.

I promise you.

I'll make sure I hand him over to you at the end.

Right.

Let's end him with this fist.

Yes. You know what? Jin Woong. Hear me out.

I don't care if Prosecutor Kwak, Ha Ri, and Soo Min say no to it.

I'll back you up. Okay?

So could you just...

hold yourself back just this once?

Was that weird?

A bit.

Right.

Are you okay?

I admire your self-restraint.

I didn't hold myself back.

I promised him that he'd get Leader Im at the end.

What? Hand over whom?

Well,

right before Leader Im goes to...

Let me clarify this.

We were just saying that we ought to relieve...

our work-related stress. Right?

That's right.

There's no one by Mina's side right now, Jin Woong.

Right. Were you able to film everything?

Of course.

- Film what? - It was perfect, right?

Perfect.

The angle...

was amazing.

Prosecutor Kwak. How many people can you mobilize tomorrow?

- Tomorrow? - We must put away Leader Im.

("The Book of Sky")

He has given us the key to His Kingdom.

The Truth will be with us for eternity.

Seeking the Truth...

So tell me. How are you holding up?

Leader Im.

Sir.

How's your health?

I'm fine.

Have you been reflecting?

Quite a lot.

Director Bae.

Do you like regular fried chicken? Or the one with the sauce?

Come back after touring around the provinces for about six months.

I'll give you a position then.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

You'll get indigestion. Slow down.

Get some rest and be on standby.

Thank you.

Nice. He's in good shape.

I can give you 50,000 dollars.

He was neither a drinker nor a smoker.

His medical checkup said he was in perfect health too.

I'll pay you 350,000 dollars for everything.

Sounds good.

You can take him right away.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

(The Player 2: Master of Swindlers)

You idiot!

Do whatever you need to catch...

No.

Kill them all!

- Yes, sir. - Make one more mistake,

and you'll really have to pay.

Yes, sir.

- Did you ask to see me? - Yes.

Welcome.

How is it going with Ms. Lee?

I'm finishing things up now.

You're still getting used to things,

and I'm working you too hard right from the start.

I'm just your worker, Leader Im.

I'm only following your wishes...

as your dutiful servant.

Thank you.

If I had one more disciple like you,

I could've let go of everything...

and left for the sabbatical.

Leader Im. Well,

do you remember the sacred place you mentioned to me before?

What about it?

I'm curious about it.

I want to store the money I've earned safely.

Don't worry about that.

Just get all of that old lady's money.

If you get that money,

I'll make a space for you in that sacred place.

You can do whatever you want there, whether it's stacking gold...

or imprisoning people.

(The Sky of Junneungsun Jinrigyo Im Sang Sik)

And today,

we'll have an online service that'll be broadcast nationwide.

Yes, Leader Im.

Preaching in front of a camera...

is totally different from preaching in front of followers.

Watching me from the side will help you a lot.

I'll remember that.

You have a good look, Herald Kim.

What do you have to eat to look like that?

Anyway, you'll be in charge of that going forward,

so watch me closely.

It's an honor.

For the Truth.

Junneungsun Jinrigyo...

Leader Im Sang Sik's online sermon will start soon.

Turn on the teleprompter,

and let's get started right away.

We'll get started.

One, two.

Cue.

Hello, my beloved followers.

I'm the head of Junneungsun Jinrigyo.

Today's sermon will be...

- about the story... - You look great on camera.

of the grapevine.

The sky said,

"I'm the grapevine, and you are the branches."

Or you could be a con artist trying to con me!

You must watch lots of movies.

No, I don't have time to watch movies.

It's all from experience.

My precious experience of killing traitors,

fraudsters, and spies with my own two hands!

What is it now?

You should go into hiding right away.

Why?

I think the prosecutors will be here soon.

The prosecutors?

I have a friend in the prosecutors' office.

You killed people?

No. That's the wrong question.

How many people have I saved?

That's the question you should ask.

Saved?

Those people aren't dead. They're still alive.

They're living in the bodies of many different people.

Do you still not understand?

You killed people...

and sold their organs?

That's not a very beautiful way of putting it.

What are you doing, you bastard? Turn it off immediately!

Because of what I did,

so many people were saved.

- That's the important thing. - Move, you bastards!

Who are you?

Who do you think?

I'm the brother you pissed off.

You bastard!

You hit me first.

What are you talking about, you bastard?

We believe the sky exists in an unknown world,

but everyone, that is not the case.

The sky loves us...

from in front, next, and behind you.

I would like to play the video with his words right now.

Why do we always doubt that?

Okay.

Prosecutor Kwak is here.

We have to catch Leader Im.

Mission...

Rabbit Hunt.

We'll make Leader Im go to the sacred place himself.

To put it more accurately,

Leader Im will take me to the sacred place.

Okay.

You need a hunter to chase Leader Im into his rabbit hole?

The key is to only pretend to chase him.

Only pretend.

- Let's go in. - Yes, sir.

Let's go this way.

Prosecutor Kwak is going in now.

Okay.

That will be the end of today's sermon.

(Jinneungsun Jinrigryo)

For the Truth.

Cut.

Good work, sir.

Prosecutors have entered this building.

What do you mean?

Here.

For the Truth.

Leader Im. You should take a look at this.

What is it?

They're living in the bodies of many different people.

I think this video was broadcast instead of the sermon.

You confessed to murder...

and organ trafficking.

You sold their organs?

Demons who deserve to burn in a fiery pit were hiding around me.

Leader Im. The prosecutors will be here soon.

You have to go.

Let's go, sir.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

This way.

I'll stop him for you. Please run, sir.

You satan of a prosecutor.

You dirty bastard.

You snakelike satan.

- They're gone, you punk. - You...

Oh, right.

Are you sure we don't have to chase after them?

They left.

Prosecutor Kwak.

This is a secret,

but there is a reason why Leader Im's sacred place...

was perfectly hidden until now.

The moment Leader Im steps out of Jinrigyo,

at least four teams follow him.

Teams?

Then we can follow all of them.

We tried following them the other day.

But Leader Im wasn't in any of the cars we followed.

And they went somewhere...

that didn't exactly seem like a sacred place.

Leader Im was in a different car to begin with.

Those four cars were fake.

So...

the car Leader Im rides when he leaves Jinrigyo...

I don't know that.

Then what do you know?

I don't know.

Darn it.

Is our rabbit running well?

Please take a look.

Is he...

a rabbit or a cheetah?

I'm in the parking garage! Hurry over here!

Please get in.

No! We need more people. Wait.

Leader Im.

Let's get going now. I'll drive.

It's time for the climax.

Please put on your seat belt.

Mr. Kim?

Yes, sir.

No.

Ha Ri Kang?

Ha Ri.

Do you have the destination?

What is it?

We must get to the parking level.

What?

Hey. Isn't this Ha Ri's?

This is driving me crazy.

- Is this for real? - What?

Is this another sting you left me out of on purpose?

This is...

a real kidnapping.

What do we do now?

We must find him.

No matter what.

What would've happened...

if I didn't get this from him?

Darn it.

I was almost there.

So, did you report to Jeffery?

That we got you good?

Here's one final warning.

You'd better get out of here soon.

My friends will come looking for me.

The water is cold now,

but it will get even more unbearably colder.

This place is set up that way.

It gets much worse at night.

No. Let's keep this up.

It's nice and refreshing.

But guess what?

I have no intention of staying here until nightfall.

Kang Ha Ri.

What do you think I'll do to you?

I don't know, actually.

How would I know what a spiritual leader thinks?

But I do know one thing.

That your life will come to an end very soon.

Kang Ha Ri.

To cool down as cold as ice...

before burning in a fiery pit.

See for yourself how that feels.

Get back to it.

Soo Min.

I'm listening.

There's nothing here.

- It's always... - Nothing but videos of his sermons.

Hey.

Excluding Leader Im, the one person who knows the sacred place is...

- Director Bae. - Did you say he'd disappeared?

Byung Min. Send me Director Bae's home address.

I'll check it out.

It can't be.

Hey.

Hello?

Hello...

Hey.

What are you doing?

Hey!

You punks!

They're going to burn us.

Guys.

You'll have to really hurry.

Oh, dear.

They must be your prized possessions.

You know I'm giving you a good deal, right?

If you score when you go abroad,

be sure to do business with me.

You must've had to sell them quick.

You did a good, clean job. Thanks.

(SIDD Transfer)

(Transfer complete)

Your wallet should be full of crypto coins.

Technology made things so easy, right?

You can spend cryptocurrency like cash now wherever you go.

Good job.

(Crypto Exchange)

(Investment Records, Total assets: 89,843,072)

Everything's done as you said.

Not one can get out alive.

Not even one.

Are you leaving the hospital?

Yes.

I should go back.

Back home.

- Mina. - Yes?

You can reach Director Bae, can't you?

Mina.

How was it today?

It was okay.

That's a relief.

I was worried something would happen to you.

I want to return to Japan with you soon.

So do I.

Could you...

give me a little more time?

I promise to find a way.

You two are dating, aren't you?

Director Bae.

Where is he now?

- Jin Woong. - Is something wrong?

Don't tell me something bad happened to Ha Ri.

There's bad news...

and worse news. What do you want first?

When do you go back to Japan?

I'll join you once things quiet down over here.

I wonder.

You don't think you can actually go, do you?

You don't seem to know...

you're banned from traveling as Leader Im's accomplice.

I told you I could find a way for us to be together.

The only way we can be together...

is for you to beg for forgiveness...

and start over.

Leader Im.

Can you call him over?

I'm your last lifeline.

If you just give up Leader Im, you will be...

Lifeline?

Don't make me laugh.

The moment I give up Im Sang Sik to you people,

I will also...

Brothers?

I think I must've become bait.

I never thought they'd follow me.

Im Sang Sik, that jerk.

Hurry up and make contact.

- To who? - Contact anyone.

We don't even know where we're going now.

It's obvious.

They'll probably take us to the sacred place.

Junneungsun Jinrigyo.

That is the sacred place.

Gosh, it's been a while, Director Bae.

Hi, Mr. Romantic.

This is what you were imagining.

Yes, watch my mouth closely.

You were fooled.

In a little while,

you will meet a very capable prosecutor.

If I may give you a word of advice,

just tell him everything.

If you get on his nerves,

you get double the punishment, no matter what.

Director Bae, good luck!

Over here. Everyone!

If we just stay here like this, we'll burn to death!

Anyone?

Can't you hear me?

Over here.

Hey!

Seriously, these punks.

Hey, you punks!

You still have to feed me even if you'll kill me, jerks!

Darn it!

Hey, I think I'm going to starve to death.

Give me something to eat.

You're a loud one, aren't you?

Hey, can't you hear anything?

What?

The sound of you falling into the fiery pit.

- What did you say, punk? - No.

Now that I listened carefully,

it was the sound of Leader Im slicing your neck...

because he's furious about this situation.

You little punk.

Why?

I take it back.

Shut your mouth, punk.

Hey, I told you that you were going to the fiery pit, didn't I?

Hey, what's this?

All right. Come on.

What's this?

Darn it. Why are there so many?

Fine.

Player, enter.

You sure got here fast.

"Player, enter?" What movie is that one from?

A movie where all of these guys go to the fiery pit.

Gosh...

Oh, I'm so cool.

Hang on.

Sir.

- What's going on? - We have intruders.

- Intruders? - You should get to safety now.

Put this into bags. As much as you can.

Come to your senses, sir!

You'll be in real danger if it's too late!

("The Book of Sky")

(2024 Junneungsun Jinrigyo Revival Meeting)

- Let's go! - Take them all in!

- Come on! - Hey!

- Go! - What did I do?

- No! - Go on!

- Please! - Don't do this!

- Almighty! - Dear Almighty!

Please save our brothers!

Please, dear Almighty!

Just keep going.

He ran off.

Hey, the tablet PC.

Right.

Let's see.

Grab the tablet PC...

from the desk drawer.

("The Book of Sky")

Jung Soo Min.

I found the rabbit hole.

- Gosh. - So,

the moment we bring Prosecutor Kwak into this,

we have to give up everything in the basement.

You know that, right?

We're practically slicing open the belly of the goose...

that lays golden eggs.

It's better than having your stomach sliced open.

Of course, that's...

- Easy. - Okay.

Of course, that's true.

I can't believe there's a dent in this perfect sculpture.

Oh, right.

I think this is the perfect timing for you to say this.

Say what?

That you really missed us.

You're right.

This time, I was really grateful.

For coming to get me.

Truly.

Oh, my. Mr. Kang Ha Ri.

You even know how to say "thank you."

Ha Ri.

I thought you didn't know how to thank anyone.

I'll buy you some time,

so grab anything you need to take.

(Investment Records, Total assets: 89,843,072)

The fence.

The guy who buys pieces of art that Leader Im got...

from his followers, through extortion or threats,

instead of tithing.

These deals are obviously not made in cash, right?

They used cryptocurrency.

Hey, I'm going to make some ramyeon.

Do you want some too?

Why are you smirking like that? It's ruining my mood.

The best hacker in Korea.

I'll make you that ramyeon. Don't get your hands wet.

What's gotten into you?

Mr. Hwang. What's wrong with him? Is he losing it?

I'll even add an egg for you. Okay?

I'm good.

Hey. You're about to ask me to do something, right?

(Withdrawing)

Leader Im...

All of his coins are ours now.

Really?

I knew you could do it, Byung Min.

I knew you were the best hacker in Korea.

Okay! Well done.

Oh, right. How come Je Yi and Jin Woong are so quiet?

Chief Prosecutor, listen to me carefully.

You and your friends in the legal and political circles...

accepted bribes from me.

You see, I have a list of all of your names.

If you don't get my name off the No-Fly List,

there will be a distasteful scandal about you and your friends...

on the news tomorrow morning.

Understood?

Darn it.

Those jerks.

Where are we? Why are we here?

There's someone you must meet, Leader Im.

What is this?

What nonsense is this?

Hey!

I kept my promise.

Come out.

Darn it.

What do you want from me?

Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you.

Wait.

Gosh.

What? Do you need some help?

I don't need your help.

Wait.

Hey.

Do you know who I am?

Oh, right. You said...

you were from the south, right?

Gosh, he's so irritating.

Goodness.

Darn it.

Wait.

Hold on.

You said you wouldn't kill me!

You said you weren't going to kill me!

You should repent.

The list of bribed politicians.

It has to be here.

("The Book of Sky")

- Just keep walking. - I don't know anything.

- Let's go. - Come on.

- Don't touch me. - Come here.

- Stop that. - Just keep walking. Go.

- Hey, don't touch me! - Go over there.

(Revival Meeting for Junneungsun Jinrigyo)

Ha Ri. Where did you hide Leader Im?

Gosh. I didn't hide him. I did no such thing.

I'll gift wrap him nicely by the end of today...

and bring him to you in great condition. Okay?

If you even lay a finger on Leader Im, I swear I will...

Hello?

Gosh. He's so infuriating.

- Hello. - Sir.

Leader Im is with me.

But calling an ambulance should take priority.

- Hurry. - Yes, please hurry.

Are you serious? You little...

Hey.

So where are you right now?

You're nearby, right?

(Prosecutor Jang In Kyu)

Hello, Prosecutor. It's nice to hear from you.

I'm near your hideout. Could we meet for a second?

Now?

What brings you all the way here?

There is something you must see, Ha Ri.

Okay. I'll head over to you.

Let's celebrate.

I'm stepping out for a second.

What?

What's taking him so long?

What's this?

I lost a dear friend to Jeffrey Jung.

("Famous Reporter in 30s Killed by Mugger")

(The mugger only assaulted and did not steal anything.)

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

- Yes! - President Choi!

- Hello! - Hello!

Oh, my goodness!

One, two.

Oh, my!

Hello.

Hello!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Thank you for coming.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

- It's an honor. - Hello.

This company specializes in content marketing.

Young leaders have such fresh ideas.

Gosh.

Yes, it's okay.

Thank you for your hard work.

Yes, thank you.

Please move. One moment.

It's okay.

I'll hear your report after my day is over.

Reporter Shin Hyung Min.

You already knew what'd happen to him, didn't you?

(Epilogue)

This is a photo from the scene.

Was it a mugger?

They had a different purpose than normal muggers.

A different purpose?

It was for revenge, not money.

The man who was suspected to be the culprit of the mugging...

was close friends with the dead reporter.

They knew each other?

He gave the reporter money and took him out to nice meals...

so that the reporter would write nice articles about his business.

But the reporter didn't keep his promise.

But how could you kill someone over that?

Right. I want to ask him why he killed the reporter too,

but I can't.

The suspect committed suicide.

The dead don't talk.

In his suicide note, he confessed that he did it.

It was concluded that both of them led poor lives,

the suspect as a cruel murderer...

and the dead reporter as a corrupt reporter...

who received bribes from his friend.

The case ended without much of an investigation.

You don't seem very happy about that.

Right?

("Illegal Lobbying of a Foreign Investment Company")

"Illegal lobbying of a foreign investment company..."

That's the article the reporter was going to write.

He was murdered before the article could be published.

(There's a company in Korea with high stock prices these days.)

"They're controlling the Korean political and business world."

Jeffery Jung?

I looked into it,

and there was a lot of talk about this article back then too.

"This must be published." "No, they cannot be published."

In the end, it was buried.

What was the reason?

They said there wasn't enough evidence.

According to that article,

it said they acquired great evidence from a source,

but after that reporter died, the evidence totally disappeared.

Maybe there wasn't any evidence to begin with.

But what can we do?

Only the dead reporter knows the truth.

Also,

I'll quit being a prosecutor pretty soon.

Next time we meet, I'll be Attorney Jang.

- When did you decide that? - Decide?

That's not important.

I don't know. I kept thinking about it ever since I came here.

I want to try living comfortably.

Learn to play golf like others,

travel somewhere abroad like Southeast Asia.

I can't imagine you living such a relaxed life.

Gosh.

There's a younger prosecutor who was close to me...

at the Central District Prosecutors' Office.

I'll give you their contact information.

Contact them if you need anything from now on.

Okay.

Is there anything you need?

I don't know.

When I open up my office,

buy an air purifier for me.

I can't quit smoking.

You can do that much, right?

I'll buy you two.

You're so charismatic.

That's why women fall head over heels for you.

Gosh.

If you have time, should we go grab a drink?

One moment.

Gosh. You're so popular.

Kang Ha Ri.

Get going.

I'll call you.

Yes.

(The Player 2: Master of Swindlers)

(Special thanks to Heo Sung Tae, Hong Wan Pyo,)

(and Yanagi Yurina for appearing.)

How long have you known?

He's introduced as a capable...

and honest businessman,

but his true identity is a mystery the more I look into him.

Welcome.

Gosh, you scared me.

It's the real start of our mission.

How could you do that to me?

What you're trying to do right now...

might not give you what you really want.

I don't believe in absolute good or absolute evil.

It's just that for each choice, there's a best and worst option.
