-[clamoring, laughter] -[glass breaks]

[VIP guest] Hey. You're the chauffeur, yeah?

Over there. Goddamn…

Come on. Hurry and get her out.

Finally. Get her out. Get her out of here.

-[panting] -[escort laughing]

[VIP guest] Somebody had a little too much.

[merchandiser] I called over some more bitches. Five minutes, tops. All right?

-Get away from me! -[guests laughing, exclaiming]

Give me my money!

Why are you still here? Just leave already.

Who brought this fucking psycho?

-Get that thing out of my fucking face! -[exclaims]

Oh, this is totally ruining the vibe.

[VIP guest 2] You fucking bitch.

-[imitates dog] Get her out, man. -[VIP guest 3 laughs]

What? What are you looking at?

Fuck, you're just a driver,

-you fat loser. -[laughter]

Shit, this is fucking hilarious.

Oh. Oh, hey, hey! What the hell?

Get away.

Jesus fucking Christ!

[whispers] Oh, fuck.

Your scarf…

for her trouble.

Wait. Hey, you fucker!

Do you know how much that scarf cost, asshole?

Hey!

[escort 2 sobs]

[sighs] Mister.

Should I just talk to a reporter about that guy?

That asshole's father is some kind of government minister.

He said he had a clean drug test.

You saw how high he was though, right?

[Dongwoo] What is this?

Where did you get this?

Did the blond guy bring it?

Aha!

Ah, so you're that lunatic.

I heard about some crazy guy who keeps causing trouble,

looking for Neon all around Gangnam.

It's you, right?

"Neon"?

[laughing]

[Suin] Get out of the car.

Suin.

Get out now.

[knocks on window]

Thanks. I canceled my call.

So, you can go ahead and get on your way, all right.

She needs to be taken to a hospital, I think.

[escort 2] What's the problem?

JANGHO: JISU KEEPS CALLING ME

[commissioner] Is this really necessary?

The case is closed.

That girl walked in and took her own life, all right, Dongwoo?

You do realize, I barely managed to swing a relocation for you

to the countryside to cover up how carelessly you handled your witness.

I've already troubled the police too much.

I've also caused inconvenience to you, Commissioner.

I don't deserve to remain on the force.

Dongwoo.

You are not to blame, all right?

Your daughter may have been friends with that dead girl,

but that's not your fault.

Giving up your badge won't bring Yeseo home, will it?

Oh, Kevin. Hey.

-Not a minute too soon. -On time, yeah?

[Kevin laughs]

This is…

Take care.

-Hey, guys. That the stuff? -Yeah.

All right, see you.

[horns honking]

[tires screech]

What the fuck? Shit, I thought you left Gangnam.

[stutters] I didn't know. I swear.

It's just those fuckers offered us a business deal first!

What's this? Never seen these.

It's the new stuff Gangnam Trading Co. is launching soon.

Moving in bulk right now, so it's cheaper.

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you? Hey!

The Director! Damn. It's the Director!

I'm being forced to sell it because of him!

-The Director? -You know,

that man with the screwed up face who took over now. That guy!

Oh, hey, hey, hey! Fuck!

Oh, no! Oh, shit!

Fuck! [screams]

Oh, no!

As the prosecutor who resolved the Gangnam missing persons' cases,

what external pressures influenced your decision to stall the drug investigation

involving the son of Lee Hanpyeong, the Minister of Health?

The investigation isn't stalled.

It's closed because we couldn't charge him without any evidence.

It's rare for prosecutors from less prestigious schools

to make their way through, to serving as Chief of Anti-corruption.

What was behind your incredible ascent?

-Is it as incredible as you make it sound? -[reporters laugh]

Do you have the same connections as Mr. Tak Juil,

the former Chief Prosecutor?

That is, you are part of his inner circle.

And since he moved up to the Presidential Office,

and you've also been on a roll lately,

one wonders if someone's assisting you in your turn toward a political career.

You know, in exchange for protecting conglomerates or something of that kind.

Prosecutor Min Seojin. I must say I admire you.

What if you were to join me on my team?

Isn't Mr. Tak your business associate too?

[grunts]

Tak got impatient, joined up with the Chief of Staff in the end.

Even though I made him a Chief Prosecutor.

Ingrate.

I never betray anyone on my team,

unless they betray me first.

I see.

But using someone then throwing them aside is another thing.

If you'd prefer not to, I understand.

But I don't like to repeat myself.

Mr. Choi…

what can you do for me?

I'll give you a set of wings.

It's entirely up to you how high you want to soar.

You work a lot of overtime here too.

Just wanted to give you some intel.

This is Neon. It's a brand-new drug going around the clubs.

[sighs] About two days ago,

someone saw the vice minister's son taking some.

Investigation was closed by you, for lack of evidence.

So, you might need this.

You're making me uncomfortable.

You don't understand, you're a civilian now.

Why don't you finally start behaving like one, yeah?

Don't encourage wild conspiracies when you don't have any proof.

[chuckles]

So, you don't want my evidence.

Don't come back here.

If you don't mind, who do you work for?

Choi Bugi, with One Hour News Network.

And I manage my own news channel online as well.

A prosecutor's ultimate goal is justice, not a career in politics.

And Mr. Tak was my superior and nothing more than that.

You do realize that professional reporters usually ask serious questions?

Because our time is limited here.

Got it, Mr. Online? Hmm?

[TV narrator] We guarantee our commitment to securing professional nutritionists

and smart patient care technology.

We will establish a dream town

where specialized and customized medical services

enable individuals to maintain mental health

and enjoy a fulfilling life well into their later years.

The healthcare town everyone dreams of.

HI Healthcare Town.

HI International will make it happen.

Not bad, not bad at all.

What do you think? Quiet impressive, wouldn't you say, Vice Minister?

[vice minister laughs] Yeah!

And Weiho Group's Medical Center has been approved.

So, as long as we present it well to the media at the conference,

we shouldn't have too much of a problem securing the funding.

There won't be any issues there. Not under Mr. Choi's watch!

-[all laugh] -Cheers!

Yes, cheers!

Without Mr. Choi, this couldn't have been possible.

It isn't easy to get the Chinese to open their wallets.

And the funding's at one trillion won. Can you believe that?

We're simply honored to offer our support saving our great nation.

If I'm honest.

Support, you say?

Isn't that usually done behind the scenes?

In our great nation, there are people who don't even have homes.

If you wanted to save it, you should build some apartments instead.

I'm just saying,

building a healthcare town for the rich…

The public won't be that thrilled.

My two cents.

Secretary Tak, why are you already the president's man?

Well, I imagine this should be carefully considered as well,

so I sent the whole proposal again to the president.

And Mayor Woo agreed to it.

Sorry, but… but what does that mean?

What does it mean?

It means that he's not a fool.

His objections make sense if you think about it.

-[cutlery clatters] -These fancy-plate dinners

barely got any meat.

Mayor Woo, let's get some oxtail soup.

-What do you say? Let's go. -You know, oxtail soup sounds great.

-Wait, Secretary Tak. -Where are you going, Mayor Woo? Come on.

See you.

-[board member] Mayor Woo! -[vice minister] Wait, come back!

[board member 2] Mayor Woo!

YANGJAE CHICKEN

[sighs] Why do you keep bothering me? I'm a busy man.

Why can't you stay on target?

Bio Town is a done deal. Why are you still discussing it?

God, we're not talking about some mom-and-pop operation.

Do you even realize how many guys we sacrificed looking for that video?

That's a bigger loss than you think.

And besides, I never got my money from the Colosseum either.

And if it weren't for me interfering,

this mess would've gone way beyond Noh Joonseo.

I hope you realize that.

That's it?

The Colosseum gets busted, but you still want your 30% cut?

Yes, I want it.

Of course, circumstances have changed.

May not look like it… [chuckles]

…but I do have a law degree.

So, I may as well put my degree to use

and become the minister of my own happiness, if you will.

[laughing]

MAYOR WOO RECONSIDERS LAND USE

LOW-COST APARTMENTS OVER BIO TOWN

Gyonam's Mayor Woo Daesik.

He's quite problematic, but his wife is even worse.

His wife, Ms. Yoo,

is the director of a venture capitalist firm called Seowon Holdings.

WUGI BUGI

This firm took an illegal loan of 2.5 billion won.

And they got it from a bank in 2019,

just to acquire a piece of fine art.

Now, what would venture capitalists want to do that for?

Well, turns out this piece of fine art happens to be at his wife's place.

This married couple was messing with all sorts…

[Daesik] No, no, no. Listen. You need to look into it.

Rumor has it, it's the Head Prosecutors' office.

They're investigating us.

And no one can say how much they've got on us, all right?

Anything is possible.

Know which prosecutor it is?

It's this woman in the Anti-corruption Department.

Her name is Min. Min Seojin.

What?

[sighs] I guess she's here already.

Mayor Woo. Mayor…

Ah, shit.

I was let in when I said I was the prosecution.

Get out. Watch the door. Get out.

Geez.

If you needed something, you realize you could've sent your people

or some documents.

I'm a busy man who doesn't like to be chased down like he owes a loan shark.

Loan fraud isn't an interest of mine, but your wife is certainly curious.

[laughing]

How dare you threaten me with this bullshit?

Get out while I'm still being nice.

[chuckles]

That's quite rude of you.

I came to offer help, and this is how you act?

I wanted to come in person so I could give you some…

some useful tips based on these interesting loopholes I found.

"Useful tips"?

This is the Land Use Change Confirmation for Bio Town.

Signed by the Mayor of Gyonam as well.

He's going to send the rest of the papers within a few days.

MAYOR OF GYONAM

Mayor Woo was persuaded, then?

Well, he's a very loving husband.

-He invited me to a meal with his wife. -[chuckles]

Threesomes are the go-to for that creep.

But he's actually pretty shy.

We succeeded in finally convincing Mayor Woo.

The secretary is a persistent man though.

He will do whatever it takes to achieve what he wants.

He's a bulldog.

I'll take care of that.

I want you to dig up some dirt on these people.

We might need to change a few laws and ordinances, so be discreet.

GANGNAM TAX OFFICE RECIPIENT: CHO GYUNGSOON

RESULT OF TAX INVESTIGATION

Cho Gyungsoon is the Minister of Food and Drug Safety.

What do you need with the ministry?

Why?

I need to know where to dig in order to do the right research.

If we're gonna be changing ordinances, that's no easy feat.

It was also no easy feat to promote a low-level prosecutor

to Chief of Anti-corruption.

Am I right, Seojin?

We didn't scout you to take on easy feats, did we?

Oh, Prosecutor Min.

Uh, ma'am…

[Min] What are you doing?

[door closes]

What the fuck are you doing?

How dare you join hands with Woo Daesik and double-cross us?

Now that you're working there at the Head Prosecutors' Office,

you pull this crap?

I can see you're feeling guilty.

Before you started your day, you came all the way over here.

Look, learn the difference between friends and foes, Seojin.

Whatever you're up to, you remain my underling, okay?

And if I get brought down, you go down too, don't you forget it.

Well, I do know the difference between a friend and a foe, now better than ever.

Oh, really?

You little…

I can't appreciate you enough for coming here.

-It made it so much easier. -[phone buzzing]

-What is it? What? -[assistant] Sorry, Mr. Tak, but-

People from the prosecution are here for a search,

and just, you should really be here, sir.

You…

You used to be my superior.

It would be only right that I take you downtown.

Wouldn't you say so?

Sneaky little bitch. [laughs]

Oh. A message I was told to relay…

"You should've taken the mom-and-pop business deal.

You don't have what it takes to be a minister anyhow."

Ah, yes.

No wonder a nobody-bitch like you suddenly began to rise through the ranks.

It's all 'cause you teamed up with that old fool, huh?

Mr. Tak Juil.

I am placing you under arrest,

on suspicion of corruption and bribery.

"Arrest," my ass.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Shit.

Sir, come with us.

Min Seojin.

I wouldn't celebrate.

'Cause you're gonna regret it one day soon.

[exclaims]

Were you gonna crack my skull?

God, this fucking guy!

How could you do that to us?

You just disappeared.

I mean, I checked out all the motels in this area.

We're not gonna find her by just chasing our asses around Gangnam.

Dongwoo, wouldn't it be faster if we just had our boys ask around

with a picture of Yeseo?

She'll make it harder for us to find her if we do.

[sighs] Are you sure Yeseo is even here?

What's this?

Jaehee's account is logged in. And it keeps moving around Gangnam.

Then she disappeared all of a sudden.

[sighs]

So, you're gonna do what? Keep on playing hide-and-seek?

You handed in your badge, you made yourself a fucking chauffeur,

and you still haven't found shit!

It's descended into absolute chaos since Noh Joonseo's death.

Looks like the small-time MDs split the cut among themselves just to stay afloat.

Seems like a new drug made of meth and a bunch of other shit

is being sold cheap around town.

"Neon"?

Oh, yeah, yeah. They're pushing this shit really aggressively.

-[sighs] -What's Yeseo have to do with it?

Wherever this drug was found,

Yeseo's location pinged a cell tower.

What are you saying, she's mixed up with Neon?

[Dongwoo] She must have a reason for it.

Hey, Kim Minhee.

Where's your car?

Can you give her a ride?

The pediatric clinic at Daechi Junction.

I'll wait outside.

[footsteps approaching]

Long time no see.

-[coughs] -Get the fuck up.

Get up.

You promised last time

you would fucking protect Jaehee.

[groans]

I'm sorry.

Because she's dead, you mean?

And you're fucking sorry?

[sighs]

From now on,

stay the fuck out of my business.

-Gilho. -Hey, Choi Suin.

[sighs] Fuck's sake, are you hanging out with the cops now?

What do you mean?

I saw you getting out of that bastard's car.

You mean the chauffeur?

He's helped our girls before, so I asked for a ride.

Oh, Jesus.

You think he's helping you?

Snap out of it.

He's to blame for Jaehee's death.

Jaehee…

made the choice herself.

I should've done this ages ago.

I've dragged it out too long.

Whatever.

Where's that bastard K?

I heard he's working for Choi these days, peddling some drug named Neon.

This is why Jaehee told me not to tell you about anything,

especially the video.

You'll be dead before the video even gets to Mr. Choi.

Shut up! Is that why you're sucking up to all these fucking bastards like that?

What do you want me to do?

What, quit?

Let me tell you.

As long as I'm surviving in Gangnam, I don't care who's running it.

Hey, Choi Suin.

How do I find K?

[♪ opera music playing]

I'm so glad I finally got to invite you over.

So what's the urgent matter?

I found records affiliated with a pharmaceutical company

while checking out Secretary Tak's bank account.

I wanted to check with you to see if I'm missing anything.

TRANSACTION HISTORY

The pharmaceutical company is yours?

I thought Bio Town was your focus.

[sighs] I guess it's about time I share with you,

the details of our business.

Narcotic ingredients, you may not realize, have been monopolized

by the American pharma companies.

[phone buzzes]

GEEZ, IT'S REALLY IN A SCHOOL ZONE IN DAECHI-DONG

The company that manufactures narcotic analgesics also makes the antidote.

The addiction and the cure for it.

They won't kill you all at once.

They'll destroy your body until you become a zombie, for profit.

It's a brave new world.

Instead of distributing crude powders on the black market…

COPS WON'T PATROL THIS AREA

PARENTS HIRE GUARDS FOR KIDS TO FOCUS ON THEIR STUDIES

…they mix drugs with narcotic analgesics to distribute them legally,

then they distribute the cure for it.

It's perfectly elegant.

Ah, fuck! This is so much fun! [laughing]

You guys, this shit right here, it'll get you high so fucking fast

and won't give you a fucking hangover.

Hey, take a shot.

-Cheers. -Cheers!

-Cheers. -[laughter]

[Mr. Choi] People who are reduced to husks after a few detoxes

can receive treatment from Bio Town, where their lives will be prolonged.

And business can expand this way forever.

That's why you needed to dig up dirt, isn't it?

To monopolize the ingredients

and get permission for the rights to sell them?

[phone buzzes]

IT'S LITERALLY A DRUG PARADISE

[sighs]

[Mr. Choi] We've already tested its potential in focus groups.

What do you think?

Isn't it beautiful?
