It'll be best for you to tell all.
Before we mess you up...
All the information was true.
And the informant's identity?
An Email was sent
through a foreign server.
He must be pro.
If this incident is made public
You know the consequences right?
Korean banks may be in doom.
Where is this John?
We're using all channels to find out.
I don't know. What his real name is...
Mettel...
Who?
Me... te... el~
I love him. A name means nothing to me.
That's enough!
If you hit me again.
I won't say anything!
Operate all teams for financial sector 1, 2, 3.
Trace the flow of the money withdrawn.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Na Kyung Ho try lifting up your head.
Are you coming to your senses now?
When I leave this room shortly.
The person you trust the most will enter.
From then on, it will just be the two of you in this room.
Try to open up your mind.
And reveal all to that person.
What on earth is going on?
Do you know how worried I was?
Go on and speak. Between us...
You know there are no secrets.
Now.
Go on and speak, Kyung Ho.
Kyu... Kyung Ho?
Yes.
That's your name.
Nice Mr. Kyung Ho.
Now, tell me everything.
From the beginning.
The beginning?
It all began with freedom!
I was born into this world with a lot of freedom.
And I was raised with a lot of warm love.
But then...
I was quite an unusual child.
John.
Good! Now, tell me that story
how a nice man like you became like this.
Oh, poor Toto.
I know OZ is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
But I have to go back to Kansas City where uncle,
Henry and auntie, Em live.
OK! Now, we're going to Emerald City to see the Wizard!
Fucking Bush!
Jesus! He killed over 100,000 innocent Iraqi people so far!
Such a bastard!
Oh! I'm sorry.
I was a little upset by this article.
Not just Bush but US must pull itself together!
So this sister country can also live well, agree?
Sorry, but I don't really enjoy discussing such topics.
I should've introduced myself first.
I'm in International sales. I sell everything.
Except girls.
Let me give you my business card.
Here's my dog. Its name is Greedy.
It's really greedy you see.
Maybe its genetics but it has a hunter's blood in its veins.
It often brings dead rabbits home.
A dog of great pedigree is surely different.
Now, I leave for Hong Kong next month.
There's an international seminar.
If you ever come to the States.
Give me a call. Oh, my name is...
Thank you very much!
That's alright.
Hey! You again.
I'm late for an important meeting. I'll head out first.
Let's meet up again next time. Bye.
Yes.
Sir!
Her name is Elly Kim.
Flew in on September 28. Same day as Kyung Ho.
But on different flights.
And last year's records says.
Over 4000 Johns flew in.
Ok got it.
Hey! Hey! An error popped up! Error!
To your places everyone!
Hurry, Move! Move!
- I found it. - Where is it!
The C3 spot.
I'll say it once again but...
Those who can't spot that error.
You have to be one or the other.
Either worthless or one of them.
My job is related to banks.
Hey KKai!
Still playing with these?
I don't like these very much.
And also...
Fools who play with this stuff.
I dislike them especially so do me a favor...
From now on, just keep quiet, huh?
Like this... as if you are dead.
What are you planning on using
the wheelchair figure for anyways?
Your taste is so unusual.
I made that myself with resin
the original was sold out so.
You'll never find it in the market. With so few collectors.
Hey Kkai, Come here.
What should I do with this?
The paint hasn't really peeled off.
Hey! This has come back to life.
Hey, are you leaving already?
That person...
What was he like?
I guess he was one of those Maniacs crazy about action figures.
Anything else I'm not too sure about.
No... Not Na Kyung Ho.
The guy with Kyung Ho that night.
Can't you remember?
I don't know who you're talking about.
I'm in Korea for a certain project.
I invest into promising items. Before others do.
You can call it an initial investment followed by monopolization.
With my job I see the money flow in Korea.
It's not that fun.
It's not even my own money.
Honestly, I love Mettel.
When I look at her my heart becomes warm.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I mean someone you love.
No. I don't have one.
Yes. Yes, Han Kyu.
Excuse me for one moment.
Since I was young I've treasured the belief.
I'd meet someone who'd change my life forever.
Hello.
My name is Kyung Jin.
I'm sorry but please leave.
My friend will return shortly.
Alright. I can sense how you feel.
Give me your phone number instead.
Oh my.
You are 100 times hotter up front than from the back.
Look here! Can you just...
Hey, please sit still.
I need to chat with this hunk for a bit.
Oh my even your manners are terrific.
My name is John.
Wow your voice is drop dead gorgeous.
I'm home.
You're upset I'm late huh!
Were you OK looking after our home?
There wasn't a single ant you say?
Well done!
The burglar was your responsibility.
Sorry!
Were you alright Rei?
New Clothes?
I bought you some not too long ago!
You little miss greedy...
What's the menu? Lasagne!
Actually I want some bean soup. You know, it's been a while.
You'll make it? Thank you.
I met someone today.
His name is JOHN!
The rest is a secret.
Yes yes, got it! Got it.
I'll tell you later.
Your place is over here right?
What? Oh there!
Oh that's a village you are not supposed to go to.
In that village.
Live people of a different kind from you.
What kind of people you ask?
Alright, it's a secret but I'll tell you a bit...
- The people from that village... - Where were you all night long?
Your gaming skill isn't even good.
Little rascal.
Doesn't give it a rest even for one week.
Bring it on! I'll give you one minute.
"Wait a sec"
Well done for wandering around on a fucking windy day.
Fucking well done KKai!
I met a total hottie.
Hey. Let's stop this and go!
Yes sir!
Yes yes.
Yes we gathered everything.
Yes oh no its ok. Yes yes.
Yes.
There's no sign showing that someone has come by so far.
Mr. Na Kyung Ho?
Yes... I am.
They're in a meeting now.
Please wait here for a moment.
If it's a problem regarding the fund then you don't have to worry.
As you all know.
A large fund moves in a steady cycle.
Now we must analyze signals predicting the next cycle.
Our fund invested in the Nasdaq is
about to super exceed our goal.
We're facing a crucial decision now.
I hope you all complete your tasks.
Especially Han kyu.
From now on your role has become vital.
I will put all I have on the line and swear...
For us, there is no such thing as a mistake right?
By any chance are
our funds also meddled into the futures market?
Hey what are talking about?
How can something like that happen we have our rules...
Good, shall we end things here today?
Long time no see, friend!
Ye... Yes. It's been a while.
This is Elly.
John...
used our jealousy.
Yes, it's me. Who? Mr. Kim?
Wait a sec... Excuse me for one moment.
I know what you are.
However, you don't have to worry.
I'm going to stop now.
I think I'm drunk.
It was nice meeting you.
You don't remember anything right?
Do you have any plans this morning?
No...
Then shall we have breakfast?
No. I need to go...
there is something I must do.
I'm curious?
What do you do even on a Sunday.
I have to feed my goldfish when
hungry they become bad tempered.
JOHN...
had two different sides.
I hoped out of the two, the side I saw
would be the genuine one.
After we finish this job shall we go on vacation?
A year ago
I had a man with everything.
I believed that I loved him.
One day... Until we went to a gathering.
- Hey~ SEAN! - Hi gays!
Hey~ SEAN! Nice to see you!
This is ELLY.
And JOHN!
How're you doing? Partner!
Couldn't be better! Partner!
All right!
One week later... Sean died in a car accident.
The daily charge is 4,500,000 Won.
How much did you say? 4,500,000 Won?
- Yes, that's right. - Something's odd...
Absolutely no dust can be picked up.
JOHN.
This is Mr. Kim.
It's a pleasure to meet you sir.
Quickly, find out who this Mr. Kim is and the club
the informant talked about hurry and research it.
Player's, banker's.
Player's card, banker's card.
Player 3, banker natural 9.
Banker win.
Shit!
Banker win.
We haven't looked at our cards yet
but how about making this round the last.
Oh, then we should bet it all that won't be a problem right?
Congratulations Mr. Kim.
Shall we play a different game now?
This is the contract.
The information is the same as in the proposal.
But you see.
After examining the part in the proposal regarding the accounts...
If I shouldered the responsibility of risk bearing.
Gratitude gained for my effort would be too minor.
No matter how much they say that South Korea is changing...
You can't say that a company backing
a lackluster presidential candidate
has a bright future ahead of itself.
If you feel that way Mr. Kim we will try and reconsider.
I plan to be in my office until 10.
I will send over our person.
That side with the fire escape Search inside that area!
Over there on that couple's faces what can you see?
Hope?
Hope...
The hope that they can live well!
What if they find out that hope is
a mirage they will never conquer in their lifetime?
What are you talking about?
That hope is something that someone has hypnotized us with.
Hypnotized?
If they find out that truth.
That thing we call hope will disappear.
And if that hope disappears
they will give up on their lives.
If that happens then this system we call a Society will shut down instantly.
To prevent that from happening
we have made this thing called hope.
Who made that hope then?
The 1% group!
It's a yacht for us to sail away on.
We're here. It's that house.
You must invite me in next time!
That was such a happy moment.
And JOHN
was the very person I was waiting for.
Its me.
What about the signature?
I got it.
Well done.
I love you.
I love you too.
JOHN was a good guy.
Thanks to him, I could get away from
the sadness of losing SEAN with ease.
A while later JOHN said I was to do something for him.
But I didn't ask what that task would be.
Because I was already prepared to do anything for him.
Oh what... is this?
Open it.
Happy Birthday!
How did you know?
You told me last time.
Oh, did I?
Yes!
Oh... its me!
Wait a sec...
Yes Mr. Kim!
Hey! Kkai this is really a coincidence.
We're able to meet up here?
Now...
I wondered where you rushed off to all groomed
you came here to meet your lover?
As I said last time I believed your words Mr. Kim.
It's alright.
It's not the first case where deals are broken.
Freaks like you are the worst!
Now onwards if you do something offensive in front of me.
Then...
I will do whatever you want.
The document you signed...
Will be sent to you by our person.
Oh! Don't worry. I will keep it a secret.
Secret?
That is something actually that I ask of you to keep.
If you change lovers by any chance you must tell me.
So that I can see again if he suits you well or not.
We sort things out by our rules.
So don't worry.
It may be uncomfortable but they are good friends.
You must get along with the new friend.
Especially you 'Rei'!
Oh! You are also curious about that village down below!
People from this village are playing a game now.
It's a really fun game.
Stay still.
Don't believe JOHN.
He is using you.
But.
Mark my words.
It's weird isn't it?
Right then, I screamed to myself.
Who on earth is this Elly?
Mr. Kim. We must find him quickly!
OK sir.
- Kyung Ho. - Yes?
You have felt anger to the point where
you'd kill someone right?
You're trying to suppress it
but I'm sure you have think carefully.
I have one.
Kyung Ho.
Yes?
What would you do if you were in a tranquil place with no one
around and you met the one you hate so much
you'd want to kill.
Well...
Now if you put your mind on it
you can push that person off a cliff.
Just flick the tips of your fingers...
A cliff?
Really close?
I will do it.
JOHN! What are you doing! He's still alive.
This is much better...
The skid marks left on the scene were gathered and are being analyzed.
Yes I understand.
As soon as the results are out I will report to you immediately.
Why did you do such a thing? Why?
You wanted to kill him!
That didn't mean I was actually going to do it!
Just think of it this way, now you have more freedom.
Where on earth are we going to now?
The 1% club!
Whatever situation we may be in I'm on your side!
If the dead Mr. Kim is really involved.
This problem will change.
Politics will be involved!
That must never happen!
It won't take long.
And Han Kyu?
He's my partner...
I swear I never laid a hand on that fund!
The N. Y Stock Exchange dived so
I just looked at our losses!
Also, I couldn't do anything about the Mr. Kim situation...
I know you have invested
our fund in international futures markets. Those that were prohibited.
And I am here...
So I could see the evidence
that you restored the losses you created to our fund!
Give me just one month!
I can return everything to normal.
No just two weeks is all I need. Really!
Please give me one more chance!
Here!
I will give you a chance...
In accordance with our rules,
as of now you're expelled from the 1% club!
Oh! Don't worry.
You won't need to go to prison.
An established fund manager
so we call him a 'Money Master! '
And the exact cause of death?
Up to now we understand that
it was suicide on impulse due to severe stress...
On impulse?
From the blood test. Excess amounts of alcohol were found.
We presume he drank right before he jumped...
JOHN, I am curious about something.
Why did you kill him?
Speak.
We took care of it claiming it was just suicide.
Alright.
Listen carefully to what I say from now on.
That meeting you saw is the 1% club.
That I created and am leading.
One can say it's an advanced level in getting into the 1% group.
Only those successful in each field made the group.
A technology expert in charge of an IT firm,
International lawyer, political lobbyist,
the man who committed suicide was an economics professor
and a competent funds expert.
Our aim was to grow a huge fund using information
and branches obtained through our own routes.
Our combined funds blew up daily.
Just before we reached our target, our fund shrunk
one hundredth in size over just one morning.
That man who committed suicide
invested separately behind our backs.
I wonder how big that fund was...
for people to keep dying over it.
4 billion US $
A little less than 4 trillion won!
I really can't understand it...
What will you do with all that money!
That's the amount you need in Korea to elect your own president.
Of course this game begins...
After a potential candidate is found.
First to invest and then monopolize remember what I said.
If we succeed in this business
we will monopolize the Korean market,
Holding the key to the 1% club.
If that's your plan it should be kept top secret.
So why are you telling me about it?
The plan is now ripped to shreds.
Also, they no longer had any hope.
You see, in this game, once you fail things become more difficult.
From now on you are my new partner.
Where is this place?
Why did we come here?
It's alright!
Stand right where you are!
The guy you've brought.
He's the expert you mentioned?
He sounds even dumber than what you said of him.
Like Kevin Mitnick... great!
When the super-server is down
how long does it take to re-boot without
changing the EEP-ROM password?
Answer Him!
4.4 seconds!
You've brought the real deal.
He's a KUS graduate for sure!
I guess you've developed a lot of enemies over time!
It seems you've bought a new weapon...
No.
A good sum of money has appeared
so I just upgraded to a stronger one.
Oh! I'll introduce again... this is...
There's no need for an introduction!
I'll explain straight away, so just listen carefully!
Firstly, in the footprinting operation,
you don't need to go through a Network enumeration process!
It seems obvious that you will be hacking a UNIX type server anyways!
You know how to execute the zone transfer process without mentioning
the DNS Interrogation, right?
After that, make sure you execute
the Network Reconnaissance process immediately!
Ever make a 'back door'.
Now, get on with it!
Done!
Oh, JOHN!
Don't play games that are too dangerous.
This is a crime!
Also I'll lose all I've gathered till now.
I'll be harassed by guilt forever!
My friends, my job, my work!
You can't get freedom with just those things.
I said it before, right?
If there's chance we can both be free forever,
we should take it!
This is the project you labored over?
Is that why you approached me?
While buying me things like cognac?
I was giving you a chance at the same time.
What chance? The chance to steal?
The chance to become freer.
Whatever... I don't want to believe you anymore.
Kyung Ho.
Fine, I came to you with a planned approach
because of this job.
Even if you say you won't do it,
we won't change.
Also, my feelings towards you are genuine.
Did you use Elly too? Or are you a team?
Elly, is always on my side.
However, Elly doesn't know one thing!
How we feel about each other.
12 o'clock did u say?
Yes... things could take longer.
Oh! You said it's his lover right?
Yes!
Its morning, aren't you cold?
Kyung Ho!
In Korea, currently,
there are more than 100 million credit cards.
Inside this drive is a program that sorts through settlement accounts
in all credit cards
and withdraws small amounts from each.
For some accounts in can be 10 won
for others, 1000 won.
Firstly, it's programmed to check the installation time
and deposit
99.99 million won, into each account.
As the money comes through bank accounts of many legal charities
they'll never suspect a thing.
All operations are set to end in 10 minutes max.
Then you must immediately message me 'F'.
After that, those working with us will check the deposits,
then tell the head office.
The head office will give the order to withdraw that money.
They will be withdrawing money
from thousands of accounts, all at once.
We will start when it becomes 12 o'clock.
You're up?
Oh, you're here? But, where are the others...
You didn't hear about it yet?
Last night, Jae Sik was involved in a hit-and-run.
So the others are at the hospital.
The hospital?
Yes, wow, it seems he's really badly injured.
He's in the ICU but all he can do is breathe.
What about you? I was going to go there now.
Sorry? Oh, why don't you go. I'll stay behind.
You want to do that? Oh then, work hard.
Ok Ok. This time we go together then. Good.
Wait a sec.
Please take this.
It's my show of sincerity.
Let's decide to meet at the airport
but you keep a hold of the passports.
I've arrived at the airport.
The plan changed.
Go to the hotel! Elly will be waiting there.
Room 706. Hurry!
Na Kyung Ho! Stop right there!
Na Kyung Ho.
Let go! Let go! I said let go of me!
You piece of...
Even at that moment,
to help JOHN I couldn't say the name.
But in my mind, I wanted to yell.
Run away! JOHN!
'You must never appear at the hotel! Run away! '
I don't know
if he heard that message from far away,
but JOHN was never caught.
He's still in a hypnotized state.
JOHN will soon be here to rescue me.
No! He may be in this room right now.
Disguised as someone else you see.
It's up to here.
Let's start again after taking a break!
How can something like this happen!
What's the damage up to now?
We haven't determined the exact amount but up to now,
we assume as much as 500 billion won.
3 passports and
a watch that looks like this!
You must find this! Got it?
Yes sir!
Done!
It's out?
Now I know why you were being so firm!
Miss Elly Duncan!
Because you were married to a Korean man surnamed Kim,
we nearly missed the fact that you were adopted.
So very clever.
How you use your divorced husband's surname.
Now, I feel I can find that man with your help!
State the real name!
I don't know... what the current surname is...
Current surname? What are you talking about?
I told you I got rid of my adopted parent's surname
and changed to a new surname.
What? Huh, that means he was also adopted?
But, how can you change surnames to whatever you want?
In America, its possible.
You may think you're now completely American but listen up!
You are a piece of trash thrown away by South Korea...
JOHN loves me.
You think that's true?
All of you don't understand.
JOHN killed SEAN
in order to get me.
Na Kyung Ho!
Is this it?
That's it! Now this JOHN bastard is dead!
It seems he really doubts the abilities of the South Korean Armed forces
but if finger prints on this is all we have,
we'll show him that we can find him not only
in America, but even in a jungle in Africa.
Stop right there Na Kyung Ho!
Get him quickly!
Stop where you are!
Na Kyung Ho! Stop!
Now, calm down.
Please, don't come close.
Target in focus.
On my count.
JOHN.
No.
Quickly to the area downstream. Send staff in!
Move quickly!
Na Kyung Ho is dead.
Where?
He jumped off a bridge.
What the hell are you guys doing!
Now how will you investigate?
We have to let go of that woman soon as well.
Sorry sir.
How much up to now.
Yes.
Just from the amount we understand...
from the 135.62 million accounts secured
the withdrawn amount is already 600 billion won.
We've received a call from the Americans.
Oh really? Tell us.
From yesterday until now, there have been
men with the name JOHN entering from the US,
Out of those, it's presumed 29 of them have gone through Asia.
If we keep going this way,
a massive withdrawal of deposits will take place and...
We found Mr. Na Kyung Ho's watch!
What? Are you being serious?
Yes! Also, we just finished the physical features analysis
and we captured the character presumed to be the powerful culprit!
He was adopted
at the age of two, he is 28 years old,
his name currently is JOHN LEE.
Yes, great!
Make sure you do it properly without making any mistakes.
Sir! We have figured out the location of the lost items.
We will retrieve them immediately!
Yes.
I understand sir.
That JOHN who you claim loves you to death.
He doesn't have many hours left.
Yes. He will soon be caught.
We have decided. To just let you go.
As soon as you retrieve the items, get rid of the girl.
OK sir.
We have employed a local.
We have just checked the departures.
It's a 4 o'clock flight.
Sir! This is an urgent update.
Yes, what is it?
Sir! We have arrested the person who did a hit and run on Kim Jae Sik.
Really? So you're saying that its JOHN or what?
Well, the thing is...
Hey! It doesn't matter anymore
if he hit Kim Jae Sik or anyone else! Got it?
Stop saying useless things and get back here pronto!!
You may already know,
but to officially use the NS fund,
you need government criteria.
You know I mean right?
Yes, I know it already.
Estimated time needed?
Putting back the money missing from all the accounts alone,
will take 3 hours minimum.
Shutting down the computers in banks, for three hours.
There will be chaos!
If things go wrong,
you and I are going down together!
You must finish it all within the time frame! Got it?
Yes. What is it!
Uh sir! This is not an important case
but I think we have to report it, so...
After researching the records
of the IDs that Kyung Ho connected with through messenger,
there was a record of his chats with a boy.
Its mostly of them chatting whilst playing an internet game but...
Hey do you want to give up your badge?
So that's how we always played games
at least once a week.
The total record up to now is 123 plays, 89 wins.
That's about it.
This is a secret.
But I was actually letting him off easy a little bit.
Then would you know what the ID 'KKAI' means?
You don't even know that? He's a Kaist graduate!
Amongst the KUS members, he was the most talented!
KUS?
It's an anti-hacking association made
by a group of KAIST students.
For safety reasons, all member's identities are a secret.
I'm Butcher Boy because my father has a Butcher's shop.
And KKAI also writes novels.
Have you heard of the name JOHN before by any chance?
Oh! That John!
He's the thief in mystery novels that KKAI has written.
He never gets caught! Like Lupin...
What?
Are you Mr. JOHN LEE.
Yes. Who was to know?
Who are you?
What are you doing here man?
Oh thank you.
I don't work for KIM JONG II... get the fuck!
It's morning. Aren't you cold?
My feelings for you.
Johan.
JOHN loves me.
Oh! JOHN.
Give me one more chance.
Shall we play a different game?
This is a secret but a few days ago,
KKAI asked me for a favor
so I sent an email with a fake name.
You didn't come here for that reason by any chance did you?
Oh, poor Toto.
I know OZ is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
But I have to go back to Kansas City where uncle,
Henry and auntie, Em live.
OK!
Now, we're going to Emerald City to see the Wizard!
- And we can ask... - OK! Excellent! Next!
Excuse me! I'm not finished yet!
That was enough!
You have a strange accent in your speaking.
You would have a little difficulty for performing Dorothy, wouldn't you?
No!
Anyone could be Dorothy!
Woopi Goldberg, Jennifer Lopez,
and even Madonna could be Dorothy,
so why not me?
I know why!
Because you guys are the fucking nasty racists!
And you know what?
I will not take your bull shit anymore!
OK! Here are my last words, so listen carefully!
FUCK YOU!
You really came.
Have you decided yet?
There is no audition right?
I'll do it.
Have a seat.
But, do you think I can do well?
