Jung Do,
I have to crush all these bastards. Let's work together one more time.
$50 million?
What does this guy even do? To get $50 million in unpaid taxes...
Bang Pil Gyu. He's the right-hand man of the head of Woohyang. We can't get a lead.
- Also, there's a company called UN Communications. - Yeah.
The CEO of that company, Bang Pil Gyu's son, Bang Ho Seok.
The company's advisor and daughter, Bang Min Ah.
So how did you plan out the $50 million scam?
- Rich! - Rich!
How about a meal with me next time?
I heard that you agreed to eat with your wife tomorrow.
What does Advisor Bang Min Ah do?
She doesn't even care about the company anyway because she's obsessed over antiques.
Antiques?
Celadon?
Are you really the one who planned this out?
Is anyone there?
Is there any nice celadon here?
But why is there a price tag attached to this celadon?
With scotch tape?
- Why do we have to go through that trouble? - Personal connections.
We're from the Cultural Affairs Division.
Let go of this and talk.
Long time no see.
♫ There's no way to get out, no no. Enjoy this moment, give it my all ♫
Episode 9.
Tell me honestly. Have you ever bought anything from Ms. Goo?
No, I haven't. Didn't you hear what I said earlier?
You can't shove me aside and then sell your stuff elsewhere.
You know what happens when you do that, right?
This is my first time here and I also knew those were not genuine products.
I understand. I'll believe you this time.
If that's the case...
Team Leader Cho!
How can you do this to me?
Did you forget who it is that let you get this far?
I'm going to tell them everything!
I will remember you taking the money and then siphoning stuff off.
Ah, gosh. What are you doing? Hurry up and get her in the car.
That old lady has so much to say.
Why does she keep saying useless things? They're all lies.
She talks a lot because she's done so many wrongdoings.
Here. If you need anything, call me without hesitation.
Good bye.
Cultural Heritage Administration Cho Seok Hoon.
For a first move, that was not bad.
Director Ahn.
Yes, Director.
Now?
Okay, I understand.
I have to go to City Hall.
I have to excuse myself first.
Aigoo. Chief Baek is here. Did you eat?
Yes, Sir.
Why are you here?
Ah, Chief Shim from the tax department.
He will be promoted as of next month, he will replace Chief Kang.
I see.
Please take good care of me and teach me a lot too.
Of course. Congratulations.
You've already become chief manager.
Being a fellow alumnus is certainly advantageous.
Do you have plans for dinner? Let's have a drink, our Shim...
Ah, sorry, our Chief Shim is here as well.
Ah, today I have a lot of work. Let's go next time.
Why? What do you have that's so urgent?
I'm a little busy, let's have a drink next time.
Sunbaenim, let's have a drink.
Are you really that busy?
Yes, I am.
Why just you, Chief? I was told Division 3 doesn't have any outings today.
But I do, so...
Then.
What a pity.
Chief Shim.
A public officer shouldn't scam people, right?
Of course not.
That would make you a bad person, wouldn't it?
Right.
Go do your work.
Yes. Did you arrive?
Okay. I will be there shortly.
Yes, Detective Kim, this is Director Ahn, I am calling you to help you.
A scam. I am following a scammer.
Yes. I will get more information and call you back.
Hello?
Ji Eun, what number is this?
Dad is at work.
Ah, your cell phone is broken?
Chief Baek Sung Il.
How did you drop your phone in water again?
Are you able to dry and use it?
The person you are calling is on the line...
End Call.
The person you are calling is on the line...
Director Ahn.
Director, I need to approve a file urgently. Wondering where you are?
I'm busy right now. Let's talk when I get back.
It's really urgent...
Hello? Director?
How many boxes is that now?
About... 1,300?
Jeez, I'm so sick and tired of this.
It's a phone log. Organize and make a summary for me.
Hello? - M-mi Joo. Mi Joo, right?
Hello?
It's Chun Sung Hee. Could Chief Baek be heading there right now?
What are you guys doing there?
Is the Chief heading there now?
Oppa, is the City Hall ahjussi on his way here right now?
I think so.
Tell her to stop calling.
That's right. Why?
I was just checking just in case...
I guess my thinking was right.
I don't know how he found out exactly, but right
now our Director is following Chief Baek.
Aish! Oppa.
Chun Sung Hee says that ahjussi is being followed.
Yes, I know you've used it for a long time.
Dad has no money right now. What can we do? I'm sorry.
Yes, Detective Kim. We just left.
I'm sure of it. You don't believe me?
Noona, can you pass me a box? Hyung!
What?
In the bathroom!
Listen carefully.
This scammer is a government official. Not bad, huh?
Get your mom on the phone.
Ah, honey, I think we need to change Ji Eun's cell phone.
Why, you can't get through?
Is this it?
Stupid fool, really.
Whatever, I'm busy, just clean up, quickly.
Something that means nothing to us could be important to the kids.
Kids get picked on if they carry cheap cell phones.
Uh, here?
This is near Majang-dong. Where are you?
Wangshim-li? You are pretty close. Will see you soon.
- Why, just throw it out! - What do you mean? Why would I do that?
Have you any idea how long I've been collecting this?
Oppa!
Ok, I got it. I will take care of it.
- I don't know how but will take care of it. - Okay.
Yes, he got out. You should get going.
Okay, I am hanging up. I'm late.
Yang Jung Do.
Uh, I'm here now.
Don't come.
Don't come here.
- What are you saying? - You are being followed!
Your Director followed you here with a cop!
Hello, are you hearing me?
Who's the one following you?
He's been following you from City Hall.
Who are you?
I am a detective.
You know Team Leader Sa Jae Sung, right?
He wants to see you.
But really, didn't I go there already?
I had nothing, so he let me go.
It won't take long, so don't worry and come with me.
Seriously, why do I have to go with you?
It's the bastard, Hak Joo. Does it make it easier?
Well, then, let's go.
Excuse me.
What?
Ahjussi, why don't you go home quietly. Quit following people.
I asked, who are you exactly?
What is this. What's going on?
What happened?
This one.
He's still not answering?
What if he's been taken?
Sorry.
Why's he causing trouble?
Honestly, I can't understand.
Why did you bring me here?
If you have something to say, say it.
How much do you know of Yang Jung Do?
You should quit playing along with him.
You will end up like me, otherwise.
Is this what you brought me here for?
Okay then, thanks for the words. I will get going now.
Sit down, you bastard. Hey, Baek Sung il.
Don't let me get to your kids, just listen to me.
Talk to me.
Listen carefully.
To get me in here, Jung Do
spent a few years pretending to be a fool.
To get me in here.
By depositing a huge sum of money into my long-lost brother's account,
he used me as a bait.
You did it right, huh? You have to get him good.
Who are you getting at?
Huh?
Ah, Ma Jin Seok. Ma Jin Seok.
How did you meet Jang Jung Do?
If you look back you will find more than a few strange things.
You think you can get his money with the tax law alone?
If you leave it to me, I can get you the $6 million.
I'm sure you didn't go to Jung Do first,
and ask him to scam and collect taxes.
I have a great idea.
How about it? Will you hear me out?
You think you met Yang Jung Do by chance? No such thing in the world.
Look at me. I got here by trusting him.
You are going after Bang Pil Gyu now aren't you?
Bang Pil Gyu's $50 million in unpaid taxes?
You are trying to get that.
When you are done with the Bang project, what do you think will happen to you?
To put it simply, do you think it makes sense for
a swindler to help a government tax collector?
That doesn't make sense, does it?
If Yang Jung Do takes off with Bang Pil Gyu's $50 million,
they have their ways figured out.
You are not scamming with Yang Jung Do at the moment.
You are being scammed by him.
You are going to be thrown off when it's over,
you might as well start changing your team now.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
I couldn't reach you at all. I was worried.
Sorry, I had some stuff going on.
What kind of stuff?
You didn't get caught alone by the police, did you?
No, it's nothing like that.
That's a relief. What are you going to do about your Director? I think he caught on.
I'll take care of that myself, so that it doesn't hurt you guys.
We're not worried about that, we're worried about you.
Be careful.
I don't go to jail, and you don't get fired.
We have to keep that promise, don't we?
Yeah, we do.
The evidence that that bastard, Yang Jung Do, framed me...
Just find that and give it to that guy.
If I take that evidence and appeal with it, I can get out of here.
If I get out, I can take care of Jung Do for you.
Jung Do goes to jail, I get released,
and you can go on as if nothing has happened.
You want me to just believe your words and backstab him?
Why do I have to do that?
Then you want to trust Yang Jung Do instead?
That scammer's words...
Ahjussi, don't think too much about my words. We're on the same team.
You've been kind to me, helped me and I am thankful for that.
I'm just doing this for everyone's sake, so don't think about it too much.
Jung Do.
I-I'll try my best. Let's do our best.
We're doing well right now. Ahjussi, you're doing well.
Hello.
- Hello. - Oh, you're here?
Morning.
Chief.
Yeah, what?
Let's talk for a moment.
Do it here.
It's not something I can say here.
I already know what you're going to say.
Don't worry, I'll figure it out on my own.
Chief.
Do your work.
I'm going out.
Bye.
Hello?
Yes, Director.
Sit.
There's some coffee over there so if you need it, you can take some.
I'm okay, but what about you, Director?
No cream, just give me a cup of strong black coffee.
How much do you know, Sung Hee?
- Pardon me? - Do you know what your Chief Manager is going around doing?
I don't really understand what you're talking about.
- You knew, didn't you? - I'm sorry?
Know what?
Are you taken aback? Why are your hands shaking?
I'm not really sure I understand what you're...
Did you do it with him too?
Tell me the truth, that way I can help you.
The police are chasing your chief manager. In a few moments, all this will end.
So Sung Hee, if, by chance, you were following your
chief manager around and scamming people, tell me now.
Then, even if Chief Baek won't, I think you'll be able to live.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
You understand.
Sung Hee, you understand.
If not, forget it.
Take your leave, I'm done talking.
They did it together.
Now what do I have to tell the Mayor?
So this is what it looks like, the Tax Department.
There are a lot of familiar faces. I came here for the Public Tax Court.
Don't mind me and continue with your work.
Investigator Chun, doing well, I hope?
You should be doing well since you are doing good work.
Is the Director inside?
Ah, nice to see you!
Chun Sung Hee.
Chief Baek Sung Il.
Chun Sung Hee.
Hello?
It's me.
What's up?
One moment please.
She's asking for you.
Who is it?
You will know when you answer.
Hello?
Yes.
What's going on?
Right now?
Yes, now.
Okay. Where should I meet you?
Where are you going?
I need to go out for a bit.
Yes, but why?
She wants to see me.
So why are you obeying her all of a sudden?
You don't see me when I ask you to.
Hey, it's not the same situation.
That's what I mean. How is it different?
It's not the person that's different?
That must upset you.
"I feel like I'm the only one losing and how can he not know my feelings?"
You are angry aren't you?
But what you are doing now,
it's like that.
You give so much but get so little in return.
It's so unbalanced, and that's the problem.
Stop saying what I already know.
I'm saying it because you already know.
Liking someone is your right.
Do exercise your right to the fullest extent.
Except, just don't think he has a duty to accept your feelings.
Then it will be too tragic for you.
Yes, it's all good, but
you should change your legal team to Hwajung.
Sure, I will follow your advice.
By the way, Chairman.
This is something I haven't even told the Mayor...
The cops are tailing us and your Director met with Bang Pil Gyu?
Yes.
You know my Director knows what you and my Chief are up to.
So what you are saying is, your Director might have told on us,
that we are after Bang Pil Gyu.
If that is the case, you really have to stop here.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I get it.
I will ask Bang Pil Gyu directly when I see him.
I will bluff him.
To see if he knows or not.
You can't be nonchalant about this.
I am not.
You are saying there could be a problem, not that we have one.
What if something really happens to hurt the Chief?
Are you going to take responsibility?
That won't happen.
Don't worry.
You make it sound easy.
Have you no sense of responsibility?
You were like that the other day. Just like you are now.
You say things too easily.
That's why people around you get hurt.
I've never spoken simply.
Not to you.
Let me ask you one thing.
Why did you do that then?
Why did you tell me you were a con artist?
We could have gone our separate ways without you telling me.
Right. Even if you left without telling me,
nothing would have been different, but.
I just don't think you needed to tell me that.
Hey.
Bring me a caramel flavoured coffee.
Yes.
With lots of topping.
Do you know what 'topping' is?
- Topping! - Yes, Sir.
Even if you...
Even if you didn't tell me you were a con artist...
But about that, Sung Hee.
Aigoo, CEO Bang.
Right, it's you, I thought so.
I came to get coffee.
Seoul really is small isn't it?
Where are you going, Mrs. President?
I am not the Mrs.
You are not?
You told us yesterday,
that you are having lunch with Soon Jihai and for dinner,
you are meeting with your wife.
Just get angry for a bit and go.
Woman, get yourself together.
Are you going to leave being mad at me?
Stop being mad.
If you go like this, you will lock yourself in a room,
and stay angry in there all day, won't you?
Just like the last time, you didn't even eat all day,
and packed your bags, threatening to go to your mother's,
didn't you?
Soon Jihai...
Why did you not keep that promise?
I told you, didn't I?
He postponed it for another day.
Then you should have gone along with it.
Soon Jihai said he would make an investment!
Right... but is $100 million everything?
To me, a promise is more important.
If not him, I will go with someone else who wants to invest.
By chance, was it because of your appointment with me?
Are you CEO Bang? From UN Communications?
Ah, yes, yes.
Because of you,
my husband just lost $100 million.
How are you going to make up for that?
Well, how can I...
That's fine. I don't know how great you are, but know one thing.
My husband broke a deal for $100 million to meet with you tomorrow.
Therefore, you will have to buy my husband,
something really delicious tomorrow.
- Pardon? - Pardon?
Something expensive and delicious, you need to buy him.
Something that will make him forget $100 million.
Somewhere really good... with a long line outside...
you should take him there for a meal.
See you at home.
Why did I talk to him about good food? So stupid...
Then what Jin Seok said that time was,
for real? He was scamming
to get taxes from people?
Someone under your supervision is doing this.
I am tailing him right now so we should resolve it soon.
But I don't know who they will target next, after Ma Jin Seok.
You never know, so please be careful yourself.
Right, this is Dad.
Is there anyone near you lately...
There is no one like that. Who gets scammed these days?
Don't worry, your son is smart.
Dad, I have to hang up now. I'm a little busy.
I will see you on the weekend. I love you, Dad!
Why is your father calling?
Ah, well. He wants me to be careful of scammers.
Don't pay attention to it.
That's that but,
you let go of $100 million because of me.
I feel so bad every time I think about it, what could I do?
Don't worry about that. It's okay.
CEO Bang. Money is
the same everywhere.
Even if you lose $100 million here, you can see another $100 million over there.
But people are not the same anywhere.
There is only one in the world of each person.
Thank you for saying that,
but I feel so badly, I want to do something for you.
That's all right. You don't have to.
Let's do this.
How about if I invest in your company?
Invest?
Ah, no, that's all right. I have many others who are interested.
No, no, no, no. I'm doing it for myself, not to help you.
You said we can get 500% return from investing in your company, right?
Yes, that's true.
Ah, no, it's really okay.
You and I can just continue like this, stay friends...
No, no, no. I'm not investing a lot so don't
feel burdened. Let's talk some more tomorrow.
My wife is waiting for me. I will be in touch with you.
Excuse me. Bye for now.
This is not the way.
We should just stay friends.
Ah, about that dinner tomorrow, CEO Jo,
Why don't we make it a couple thing?
You should stop playing with Jung Do.
Otherwise you will end up like me.
Everything looks the same here.
I have something to tell you. I couldn't call because I don't have your number.
I can't get hold of Mi Joo and I couldn't ask Chief Baek.
Don't tell Chief about what happened earlier.
Of course not, that's why I am here instead of calling you.
Why are you smiling?
Cause it's funny.
Why were you talking about delicious meals?
Is it funny?
If it weren't for me, you would have been in big trouble. You should be grateful!
I told you to get angry and leave but why did you go on about Soon Jihai?
How could I get angry out of the blue? Does it make sense?
Whatever,
I'm too tired to keep talking about it. Just tell me what you came for and go.
I think you will have to eat with me.
You should have said no!
I did, of course I did,
but he insisted on it, he was apologetic to you.
You created this by talking about Soon Jihai.
Why would I go there? I wouldn't.
You take care of it yourself.
That's what I want to do.
I don't know. Tell him I died. Don't get me wrapped up in that.
I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable either.
You should have said no, no matter what. You should have.
I said that already. I said no way.
- So I've said what I needed to tell you. I'm going. - Where are you going?
I am not going. I have told you.
Yes.
The daughter made a move, we should too.
Yes, I understand.
Yes.
Our first project started well, a little more work and it will be done.
Please give it a little more push.
Ah, Madame Noh, please go back to the antique store.
Welcome.
Let me see the most expensive celadon porcelain you have please.
Ah, yes.
Please obtain a high quality celadon porcelain.
Would you two go and buy cheap imitations of celadon porcelain?
- Give me all of them. - What? Yes.
What about me? What should I do?
We've only talked about who he is, now we have to show it.
Cultural Heritage Agency.
To the woman who buys antiques to avoid paying taxes,
let us show we are as dirty and stained as she is.
We will do whatever it will take to earn us money.
We need to show her this. People need to see it to believe it.
Wait a moment.
Don't worry about me. Continue your work.
We show her and then what?
We have to become friends.
If Yang Jung Do takes off with Bang Pil Gyu's $50 milllion,
they will have a way of taking care of it.
You will be thrown off when they are done with
you, so why don't you slowly change your team?
Oh, Dad.
Why did you come here?
You have to choose who you will fight.
Don't confuse pity with power.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Hey, you there.
If you bump into an elder, you should apologize, since you did something wrong.
Did you have something to say?
Next time.
Nothing really. There haven't been any strange people around you right?
Like who?
If not, then never mind.
So, you didn't do it.
Yes.
You got a call from Kim Jung Yu earlier.
You will have to slowly change your alliance.
What do you mean?
Let's live as we are. We are con artists aren't we?
Good to see you here. I am more trustworthy than Jung Do, aren't I?
You are a government official, after all.
Yang Jung Do, what do you know about him?
When he is all done with Bang, what do you think he will do with you?
Frankly speaking, it doesn't make sense for a
scammer to help a government official, does it?
Be careful,
I don't go to jail, and you don't get fired.
We have to keep that promise, don't we?
Yes.
You come often at this hour, without even calling.
I was just passing by and decided to stop by. Let's go in.
It's not like you will take "no" for an answer. Come in.
I heard that you guys bailed because you ran into Bang Pil Gyu.
He didn't recognize you?
I don't think he remembered me, fortunately.
Yang Jung Do,
you know the cop you put away when we went after Ma Jin Seok?
Yes.
Do you know that he is in jail on corruption charges?
That person
gave this to me.
According to him, you are using me,
and you will throw me away when you are done
with me so if I record you falsely accusing him,
he will take care of the rest. That's why he gave this to me.
Why are you giving this to me?
It's not that I believe him,
but I thought I should tell you this truthfully and confirm everything.
Damn it.
You got things figured out.
The cop is right.
I am using you.
What did you just say?
♫ That doesn't apply to me ♫
♫ There's no such thing as giving up ♫
♫ That's my rule ♫
♫ Whether I run out of breath or fall into a swamp, I will never stop ♫
♫ I'm a guy who sees it to the end, come on come on ♫
♫ No matter who ♫
This is it. The kind of antiques Bang Min Ah favors the most.
This is worth at least $500,000, right?
I have confirmed that Chief Baek is out to scam Chairman Bang Pil Gyu.
Sung Hee, you knew all along.
- It looks like it. - Let's do it.
At least 300%.
- Okay, slowly get things started. - What should we do with these scammers?
- I think we've been had. - Hand them over to the police.
Are you afraid of betraying Jung Do?
♫ I'm gonna jump over the limit of the world once again ♫
