THE APARTMENT JOB

Sangwon Police Major Crimes Unit.
Mr. Park Hae-kang?

You're under arrest

for embezzlement and breach of trust.

Due to the risk of flight,
we're arresting you without a warrant.

You have the right to retain an attorney,

to present your defense,
and to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you...

Let's go.

There he is!

Just a moment.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE TRUE VALUE STATE SCAM

HUMAN SCUM DESERVE MERCILESS PUNISHMENT

Let's keep moving.

I supported you!

I feel so betrayed!

Wait!

Guys! Don't!

How can you do this when you're a mom?

Mr. Park!

Take care of our family.

Boss!

Boss!

THE APARTMENT JOB

You came up with great lines, Mr. Kim.

Good job.

I like the photos too.

It's been a while
since I got such an adrenaline rush.

Should I put this on my living room wall?

I can look at it whenever I'm sad.
It'll help with my depression.

We stuck about 1,000 posters
around the complex

and placed them in all the mailboxes.

By tomorrow,
everyone will know about Park Hae-kang.

Right.

This is the scary thing
about an apartment complex.

Once you're branded as a fraud,
you can't step outside your door.

All 9,800 households will be watching him.

How would he endure that?

- Mr. Kim.
- Yes, sir.

Forget about eating healthy today.

How about some spicy rice cakes?
I want them very spicy.

So spicy

that it'll bring tears to your eyes.

I know your situation,
but give us the ledger.

We need to save our boss.

Ha-ri, give them the ledger.

It was an emergency arrest.

They have to release him
if they can't get a warrant in 48 hours.

But who knows what will happen to him
within the 48 hours?

There's no point in bringing the ledger.

Lee Chung-won's name

isn't even written in there.

The names written there
were President Seo and Mr. Choi.

There's no connection
to Lee Chung-won whatsoever.

Back then, I didn't know
that Lee Chung-won was behind it.

But I've met him in person,
so if I testify…

Don't you get it?

Lee Chung-won planned all this.

If we bring the ledger,
it will only help him.

You mean he'll pin the blame
on Mr. Choi, President Seo,

and Ms. Kang Ha-jeong
once he gets his hands on the ledger?

I recorded everything in a way
that it'd be really easy for him

to shift all the blame to us.

Well, I…

Then…

What about our boss?

Lee Chung-won's trying to pressure us.

He wants our fake family to scatter

and disappear from this apartment complex.

What Lee Chung-won wanted

was the image
of Park Hae-kang getting arrested

so it would rattle the residents.

So what? We just do nothing?

He'll be released in 48 hours.

Forty-eight…

Also,

didn't you hear Mr. Park telling us
to take care of the family?

We should be sticking together.

Stick together and do what?

We have to stay right here, as a family.

If we all flee because of this,
we'll really become frauds.

It's true we're a fake family,

but we didn't embezzle anything.

So if we run away, we become frauds,

and if we stay, we remain a family?

So we should stay here
and be a real family

so Mr. Park can return and fight, right?

Yes.

All 9,800 households are watching us.

The system clearly says
there's 17.8 billion.

How is the account empty?

We had no idea that the account
didn't match the system.

We only found out today.

You practically gave away the key
to someone who made a fake family

to embezzle
the long-term repair reserve fund!

And we had no idea!

We were stupidly praising him
and calling him President Park!

We're sorry.

We really had no idea.

President Park managed the seal
and account himself.

How is that an excuse?

But we won't even be able to pay
the cleaning company next month.

To keep the complex running,

we'll have to collect a special assessment

of about 1.82 million won per household.

What? 1.82 million?

Are you kidding me?

Why should I pay for the money
that Park Hae-kang pocketed?

I'm never going to pay for that!

That 1.82 million won
isn't the problem right now!

The kindergarten's closed down
due to shoddy construction,

the maintenance fees are out of control,
and the reserve fund is gone.

If word spreads about this,

our property value will plummet!

Our apartment complex
could really go under overnight.

We should freeze the assets
of that scammer family

and cut off
all their electricity and water!

Do you really think
we got scammed by them?

I can't believe it either.

The problem is his face.

How could a fraud look like that?

His acting was way too good.

Forget his face.

He's a fraud

who embezzled all our money.

Hey.

You have no loyalty at all.

You shouldn't treat him like this.

Did you forget who stepped up
and helped with the kindergarten issue?

That's not all.

Remember what he did about
the deliveries and the heating bills?

Then what about this?

There's a photo of him at the bank.

We're not sure what to believe anymore.

It's simple. You should trust the money.

That 17.8 billion isn't some pocket money.

If he really took all that,
why would he remain here

and work so hard?

Does that make any sense?

If he really embezzled 17.8 billion,

he would've changed his identity

and already fled the country,
don't you think?

You're right.

Before we think about whether
Park Hae-kang's a fraud or not,

we should think about finding
our 17.8 billion won.

You young mothers,
use your brains, will you?

This is tough.

My goodness.

TENANTS' COUNCIL
PRESIDENT JANG SUK-JIN

How can this be the face of someone
who took 17.8 billion won?

He looks like
he's the one who got robbed blind.

EXPOSING PARK HAE-KANG'S CORRUPTION

I swear

that I have not taken so much
as a single penny in illicit gains.

I promise to cooperate

with any investigations.

Lastly, I sincerely apologize
to all the residents

of True Value.

Cut! Okay!

Good job.

Mr. Choi,

you saw President Seo last time, right?

A disappearance

is neat and convenient.

No body, no evidence.

It only leaves hope

for their family.

You know that's the state
President Seo is in, don't you?

Yes.

I'll do anything you ask, sir.

I'm counting on you.

I need to live.

I have to survive first.

Mr. Choi.

What?

Where are you going?

I have urgent business…

By any chance,

are you running away?

Running away? No, I need to go…

Let me talk to you.

Is it true

that President Park
embezzled the reserve fund?

He didn't.
It was President Seo, wasn't it?

You and President Seo
embezzled the fund, didn't you?

Didn't you?

- Let go of me.
- Don't you dare.

What's with you?

Get him!

Catch that thief!

Taxi!

Taxi! Stop!

Taxi!

Sir, go! Just go!

Where should I take you,

sir?

Hide, hide.

What?

Hey, it's nice to see you!

Take this. Good to see you.

Get that jerk!

Got you!

It's so nice to see you! How are you here?

Who's that?

SEOUL SANGWON POLICE STATION

I put a lot of effort into making this.

Do you like it?

You should've put more effort

into building the kindergarten.

You've really got nerves of steel.

Here's a quiz.

There's no evidence anywhere
that you actually embezzled

the 17.8 billion won.

So why did I lock you up in here?

This is boring.

Number one, to screw you over.

Number two,
to give you a warning not to act up.

Guess the answer.

Number three.

You're right.

You really are smart.

Shifting the narrative
and damaging your credibility.

People won't be so sure about you

embezzling the 17.8 billion won,

but they can immediately accept
you making a fake family.

They'll easily believe
that you were a fraud who faked it

to embezzle 17.8 billion won.

I'm actually curious.

Did you really think

exposing that shoddy construction
would achieve some great justice?

Is there any construction in Korea
that isn't shoddy?

Penthouses in Gangnam worth billions,

nameless apartment complexes
in the middle of nowhere…

They're actually all the same.

Is shoddy construction

something to brag about?

In the face of shoddy construction,

everyone is equal.

There's no rich or poor.

That's how everyone lives.

That's the norm in this business.

Commissioner.

The grounds for arresting Park
without a warrant

are weak.

We did go a little too far.

Look at that arrogant piece of sh*t.

He thinks the law and the police

are all below him right now.

Mr. Lee says he does have a plan,

but judging by the way he talks,

he's a ticking time b*mb.

If we get hit by the fallout,

we're done for.

Taesan's been under fire lately

because of the shoddy
kindergarten construction.

Dig into that more properly.

We can't keep wiping his a*s forever.

I need to have some leverage over him too.

Yes, sir.

I was going to get you released
for getting the right answer,

but I don't want to.

You can take the full 48 hours here

to reflect on yourself.

I'll tell them to add extra meat
to your soup.

Enjoy your meal.

Your photos look great.

Sir, the facility manager
didn't get on the plane.

Mr. Kim, stay on your toes.

I'm sorry, sir.
I'll get my men to find him.

I wonder where Mr. Choi is hiding.

He'd better not cause trouble

if he doesn't want
to end up as fertilizer.

When will a sunny day come for me?

- When will…
- Look! Over there!

- Isn't that President Park's father?
- It is.

Hey, you fraud!

Darn it. I'm so popular,
the ladies won't leave me alone.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Wait, just a moment.

Close it!

Hurry!

Don't let her in.

Use the next one!

Let's all go up together.

- How obnoxious.
- There's plenty of space.

They stuck them here too?

Everyone already saw these.

YOU THIEVES
DON'T PARK IN OUR PARKING LOT

LEAVE, YOU FAKE FAMILY

Let's go.

EVEN THIEVES NEED A PLACE TO PARK!

THANKS FOR THE MESSAGE

Did it hurt?

You know, in life,
there are rites of passage.

Everyone goes through them at some point.

- A trip to the dentist is one of those.
- Mom.

Can we ride a slide before we go home?

A slide?

Deal.

- Ha-yul.
- Let's go.

Let's go home.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Come here.

- I want to play some more.
- No.

Mom.

Do they hate us

because we're a fake family?

Gyeong-buk.

What do you think is fake?

Is it real if you're related by blood?

Isn't that what's real?

No.

Eating together, worrying together,

and staying by each other's side
when things are tough.

That's what makes a real family.

The meals we share every day are more real

than the blood ties
those mothers believe in.

Got that?

There are special families like us.

So

Keep your chin up, shoulders back,

and flash the world a smile!

We'll dominate those slides.

Let's go!

Let's go!

You scared me.

Weren't you sleeping?

What is it? You're scaring me.

Ha-ri,

let's give them the ledger.

Then what about you?

I know.

I'll get punished for it.

But I'm ready.

Well, I'm not ready.

Ha-ri.

I started this, so I have to end it.

I should take responsibility
for my crimes.

Let's hand over the ledger

and help Mr. Park fight.

Ha-jeong.

Once this is over,
you'd better buckle down and study hard.

I don't know what might happen to me,

so you might really have
to take care of me then.

All right.

Let's give them the ledger.

Boss!

You've been through so much.

How is our family?

Everyone's doing fine.

They're all waiting for you.

I was able to hold on thanks to you.

Even after all that fuss,
they released you right away.

That just means
it's going to be worse out here.

Let's go.

The fraud Park Hae-kang must leave!

- Leave True Value!
- Leave True Value!

The fraud Park Hae-kang must leave!

- Leave True Value!
- Leave True Value!

The fraud Park Hae-kang must leave!

- Leave True Value!
- Leave True Value!

The thief is coming!

The fraud who made a fake family
to steal from us is coming!

Calm down, everyone!

If you were investigated for embezzlement,
you should be coming out in handcuffs.

How did you get released so quickly?

Did you hire a powerful lawyer
with the 17.8 billion?

- You thief!
- You thief!

Stop! That's enough!

- Enough?
- Enough?

Did you forget what you did to us?

I'll bill you 8,000 won

for the umbrella later.

Your timing with that umbrella
was a little late.

This is ridiculous.

They don't even know how precious salt is.

Do you think the law is a joke?

They let him go
because they found no evidence.

What do you think you're doing?

Look who's talking.

You shameless assholes.

Let me use it too. It's salty.

How can you live with yourselves?

- You're still pretending to be a couple?
- Seriously.

How can you live with yourselves
after making a fake family

and stealing from us?

Don't you dare run away with our money!

- Don't you dare!
- You thief!

I won't run away.

I have no intention
of running away with my family.

I'm staying right here

until we catch the one
who took the 17.8 billion.

What?

Catch who? You're the thief!

But if anyone harms my family
in the process,

I'll make them pay in my own way.

You've seen the posters,
so you know what kind of person I am.

Goodness.

If you want to find your money,
move aside.

Mr. Choi, drink this.

Come on. You need to eat to survive.

No.

Just drink it!

Just drink it.

Geez!

- What are you doing here?
- Boss!

- President Park!
- Boss!

I missed you, Boss.

You've gotten so thin.

What's going on here?

I went to talk to Mr. Choi for a moment,

and we ran into each other.

But he won't say anything.

President Park! Please help me.

They'll be looking everywhere
for me right now.

You jerk. You're the reason our boss…

I'm sorry, President Park.

But please help me.

I'm not going anywhere
until Mr. Choi tells me

where the 17.8 billion went.

We have to prove that you're innocent,

and that's the only way
we'll get our money back.

Don't you agree? Gosh.

Ms. Jang.

Why would you go to such lengths for me?

Why? Isn't it obvious?

I know better than anyone
that you're innocent.

I'm not innocent.

I…

Didn't come here to protect
the apartment complex.

What are you saying?

It's true

that I came here to embezzle the fund.

Oh my gosh.

Then you mean…

It's true

that you embezzled

the 17.8 billion won?

No.

When I became the president,
the account was already empty.

What are you talking about?

You came to embezzle the fund,
but it was already taken?

Goodness.

That means Mr. Choi and President Seo

already embezzled it together, doesn't it?

Lee Chung-won.

Taesan Construction's president.

Who's that? Taesan Construction?

The one who built our apartment complex?

Are you sure?

Yes.

Those assholes!

They took all our money.

Ms. Jang.

I'm sorry.

President Park,

I've seen how hard you've worked

for our apartment complex.

I believe

all of that was sincere.

None of that was fake.

Right?

So let's use your competence

to find that 17.8 billion won.

Find it for us.

I won't let you leave True Value

until we find that money.

Understand?

Yes, Ms. Jang.

They used cheap spray paint.
This is so hard to remove.

Gyeong-buk, forget this one.
See the "fraud" at the top?

sh**t that instead.

Okay.

Dad!

Dad?

- What are you doing?
- Mr. Park!

You're finally back.

You look really thin.

PARK HAE-KANG
FRAUD

Well…

Our door is very popular right now.

Uncle, I'm almost done
erasing the word "thief."

Only the first letter is left.

They did a tacky job, didn't they?

Let's go inside. I'm hungry.

Right. You must be hungry.

- My fingerprint isn't working.
- It's not locked.

That's so cold.

Pull me out! Help me!

Pull me up.

Help…

- Geez!
- You can't just leave me like this!

What is all this?

- When did you make all this?
- This is for you.

How do you know how to make all of this?

Everything is so white, though.

This is going to blind my eyes.

He put so much effort into this.

He went through a whole sack of beans

to make all this tofu
and help his boss get a fresh new start.

It's all made with Korean soybeans.
They cost quite a bit.

So make sure to eat everything.

Right. Soybeans are called
the beef of the fields.

Eat up, Mr. Park.

You must have taken in a ton of sodium
from all the salt thrown at you.

That's why we didn't season it.

Enjoy.

With all that red graffiti
and the salt thrown at you,

you need this to cleanse your insides.

You should regain your strength
and start over.

You know, I wonder
if being in a g*ng is meant for me.

Whenever I see white tofu,
it reminds me of the old days.

Do you have soy sauce?

Just eat whatever is given to you today.

All right, Big Guy.

Sorry.

Uncle, I'll eat a lot and grow stronger

so I can defeat all the bad guys for you.

Okay.

When you got taken by the police,

I was going to come out
and handle everything,

but she stopped me.

You were hiding in the closet.

You saw me?

That's why he's the Lizard.

- This is good.
- It's tasty.

It's good.

- Here.
- What are you doing?

TRANSACTION LEDGER

You just took the ledger

out of the bookshelf?

Yes. I told you I hid it in a safe place.

How is this a safe place?

What if Gyeong-nam took out a book
to read for Gyeong-buk and...

You think he'd do that?

These books are so new,
the bindings crack every time I open them.

You're right. This was the safest place.

My sister said she's ready.

She'll take responsibility for her crimes.

I know this wasn't…

An easy decision.

I'm putting my sister's life on the line
by giving this to you.

So make sure to crush them

so my sister won't have gone
to prison for nothing.

PARKING GARAGE FAN INSPECTION
[NOT CONDUCTED]

PARKING GARAGE LIGHT REPLACEMENT
[REDUCED QUANTITY]

TRUE VALUE KINDERGARTEN

I'm so happy to be preparing meals
for a criminal who tried to run away.

Gosh.

There's too much sauce on this.

Open up, Mr. Choi.

Here comes the airplane.

I told you I have high cholesterol.

Give me some spinach instead of ham.

And I have trouble digesting
anything that isn't organic.

Mr. Choi, this isn't a fancy restaurant.

Big Guy, what happens
to picky eaters here?

We take them to the rooftop.

- And?
- And they're put in a luggage bag.

Fine, I'll eat.

Eat up. Chew thoroughly.

It's a bit salty.

I've been on a low-sodium diet.

- Who wants more?
- Me!

Just eat up before I take everything away.

You should be worried about your life,
not your cholesterol.

I'm sorry.

- Boss.
- Boss.

- You're here.
- Hello, Boss.

Mr. Choi.

The ledger that Ms. Kang Ha-jeong kept

only contains
President Seo's name and yours.

The notes she wrote
after the embezzled amounts

just say,

"delivered to the facility manager"
or "delivered to President Seo."

Lee Chung-won's name
doesn't appear anywhere.

Do you know what that means?

Who do you think the police will come for
when this is released?

But President Seo is gone from this world.

So the sole culprit
who pocketed the entire 17.8 billion

will be you, Mr. Choi.

No way.

Lee Chung-won will make that happen.

All he needs is for you to be gone.

Once he gets his hands on this ledger,

he'll be innocent.

What…

Then…

What should I do?

There's been a lot of talk
about Taesan's kindergarten incident.

Get Juan and Hanmin included

in the Oman New Town consortium.

Juan and Hanmin?

Aren't they run by old geezers
who only care about background?

Why would I include them
in something I set up?

We're not telling you to sit and watch.
We're saying you need insurance.

The Oman New Town project

is too big for you to handle on your own.

Don't you trust me?

Ever since I worked in demolition,

I've been great
at tearing down other people's lives.

But I'm even better at building things.

A single excavator is enough
to take care of this.

I don't get why you keep making a fuss.

You need a background
in the construction industry, Mr. Lee.

The smell of the steel pipe
you used to hold still hasn't faded.

I have a pile of documents

on how those people
who care so much about background

funneled slush funds
through their sons' development companies.

Such documents don't mean anything to us.

Risk management is more important.

Mr. Lee.

Let me put it more simply
so you can understand.

You're nothing but a spare tire to us.

A replacement for when things go wrong.

You're really hurting my feelings.

Don't take it personally.

We have to worry
about our entire nation, you know.

As long as you work smart,

that spare tire
will keep sitting in our trunk.

There's talk about shoddy construction.

Shouldn't you handle that issue first?

All right.

You can watch how I handle it…

Tomorrow.

The patient's condition has worsened.
Contact his guardian.

I'll contact him now.

Don't.

What?

Don't call Park Hae-kang.

He's busy.

But we need your guardian's approval…

"Guardian"?

I'm his guardian,
not the other way around.

I told you, don't call him…

Good evening, Mr. Son.

You scared me.

I have something to discuss with you
before you go.

There's nothing to discuss.

You didn't bring me a single penny,
let alone ten billion.

This…

Is much more valuable than that.

Evidence on Taesan's shoddy construction.

Shoddy construction?

Hey.

Have you ever seen a construction company
in Korea go under for that?

They'll pay a fine, and that's it.

It's not about going under.

It's about becoming useless.

Once Taesan hits the headlines for this

and the president faces the press,

the One Club will collapse.

What?

Your ticket to join the club is gone.

How long will you keep rowing
on a sinking ship?

Use this evidence to climb a new ladder

as a detective who took down
a conglomerate president.

What better gift could there be
for the commissioner?

You're holding leverage
that could rattle Lee Chung-won.

Can you really rattle Lee Chung-won?

I'm going to bring him down.

So stop holding my old boss hostage

and release him on medical bail.

I'll decide once I see the results.

Why are you looking at me so sadly?

You're making me uncomfortable.

I wasn't.

I was glaring at you viciously.

Don't look so glum.

You're not the one dying.

I'm not looking glum.

I look really handsome right now.

Take good care of yourself.

You're still young.
You should stay in shape.

Is something wrong?

No, of course not.

I'm just sorry
I couldn't get you released quickly.

You're not going to tell me

what you're up to?

I…

Chose someone else instead of you.

Mr. Park.

Please…

Please help my sister.

Is she young and pretty?

It's not like that.

Well, I'm old and not pretty.

It's natural for me
to be pushed down the priority list.

You did the right thing.

You'll be released soon.

I'm working on it,

so hold on just a little while longer.

You know,

you're a man who instinctively judges
what's right or wrong.

You pretend to be a bad guy,

but you've got a better heart than anyone.

No.

I do a lot of bad things.

I am a bad guy.

You're the type to save people
even if you planned to do something bad.

I know you.

So…

Do whatever you want.

There's no need to hesitate because of me.

And don't make bad choices
because of me either.

If I become an obstacle
to what you're trying to do,

I won't be able to rest in peace.

Geez.

Why do you keep talking about dying?

You should enjoy life by my side first.

So quit the nonsense and stay strong.

I won't let you go like this.

You punk.

You've been through a lot
being my son all these years.

Thank you.

You're making me cringe. I'm leaving.

Make sure to eat well.

I love you, son.

WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE
TAESAN CONSTRUCTION

What are they up to,
calling all these reporters here?

- What's going on?
- You didn't hear anything?

They never said anything.

Let's see what they say.

Sure, let's see.

Isn't he the guy who rode
the elevator with us last time?

Yes, the penthouse.

- He's the president of Taesan.
- No way.

You didn't know, right?

Is there a specific reason
why you're apologizing here

instead of at the company headquarters?

Some are saying
this is just a show for the cameras.

Give us a comment.

I am standing here today…

Not as Taesan's president,

but as a resident of True Value State.

I believe it is my duty

to apologize at the location
where my neighbors and their children

could have been harmed.

An apology isn't enough!

Our kids almost died, you fraud!

How can you build
a kindergarten like that?

Don't you even have a family?

The investigation

found that our subcontractor
used improper construction methods

and failed to oversee the work properly.

Are you blaming everything
on your subcontractor?

It's Taesan's fault for not managing
the construction properly.

Don't you dare make excuses!

How shameless!

You're absolutely right.

It was my oversight.

That is why Taesan
has made a major decision.

We will demolish
the kindergarten immediately

and rebuild it
into one of the finest kindergartens

with Korea's top architects.

- That will take ages.
- That'll take forever.

And during the construction period,

I'll send our children
to a top-tier English kindergarten nearby.

And of course,
Taesan will pay for the tuition

and the shuttle bus fees.

Their tuition
is over three million a month.

- Three million? That's insane.
- It's very expensive.

Taesan promises to take care

of our children's safety and education.

Once again, we apologize.

We ask for your trust.

At least they're taking responsibility.

Right. Sending them
to an English kindergarten changes things.

- What now?
- We should trust them.

- Do we give them another chance?
- This doesn't feel right.

Trust them? Are you kidding me?

President Park…

What's he doing? Why is he holding that?

Do we call the cops?

What is that?

President Lee Chung-won.

Do you think
building another kindergarten…

Will solve everything?

- Open the door!
- Open this!

Je-gil, can't you hurry up?

- They'll break down the door at this rate!
- Almost done.

He always says that.

He's right in front of Lee Chung-won now.

LIVE BROADCAST IN PROGRESS

Yes! Every wall pad, elevator display,
and even the emergency speakers

are connected now.

Boss.

Everyone in this apartment complex
is watching now!

All right. Be careful.

Watch out.

Move!

One.

Two.

How many times
do I need to hit it to tear it down?

Wait, President Park!

What's that doing there?

It's filled with trash.

What is that doing there?

Where's the rebar?

That must be from a garbage dump!

Did they fill the walls with trash?

Is there any construction in Korea
that isn't shoddy?

They're actually all the same.

Is shoddy construction

something to brag about?

This is the basement
mechanical room floor plan.

The pipes go through here.

It's right below this.

- This place here.
- Right.

This is likely
to have construction defects.

Every part you can't see
was probably built poorly.

Even if they leave out some rebar rods,

people can't tell
if they're covered up nicely.

It should be detecting the rebar,
but it's quiet.

Shouldn't there be rebar here?

Look.

It's just crumbling like this.

They only put rebar where it's visible.

Where does this wall lead to?

This connects all the way

to the conference room's main wall.

All right.

Let me ask you one question.

Are you going to demolish
all 9,800 apartments here

and rebuild them again?

President Lee Chung-won.

Why do you think
you're being humiliated here?

It's a quiz.

Park Hae-kang.

Do you even know what you've done?

Number one, because Park Hae-kang
is crazier than expected.

Number two, because you're
more careless than expected.

Guess the answer.

What's number three?

Number three,

because you got trapped
in your own narrative.

And it's time for you to go down.

Listen carefully.

Now, when people hear
the name Lee Chung-won,

they'll only think of shoddy construction,

trash walls, and lies.

They won't think of you any other way.

Nobody will trust a word you say now.

I'll treat you to soup later,

with extra meat.

President Lee!

Will you take responsibility?

How dare a lowlife thug do this to me?

GONGYEONG DAILY LEE SANG-GYU

Great timing.

That video aired from the conference room…

Make sure not a single article
is released about it.

I'll give you as much as you want.

The reporters at the scene
have already published articles.

It's too late.

"Taesan trash wall"
is the top trending search

on every portal right now.

Then get those articles taken down!

Call the presidents of every portal.

No, call the elders

and stop all the articles!

Everyone's releasing articles about it.
We can't afford to miss this.

You crossed the line this time.

Park Hae-kang, that b*stard…

He's really blowing everything up.

TAESAN'S SHODDY CONSTRUCTION EXPOSED

You all saw the video, right?

Mr. Park came in
dragging that sledgehammer,

dug his toes in,

drew all his strength up from his core,

then swung that sledgehammer like this

and jumped, slamming it against the wall,

and it came crumbling down
with a cloud of dust…

And instead of the rebar,

a load of trash

came spilling out.

That was the most amazing video
I've seen this year.

He really is my son. That was so cool.

Korea really is an internet powerhouse.

The video's already going viral.

Really? Wow!

Would Taesan be able to survive this?

- They're done for.
- They're done for.

It's checkmate.

Game, set, and match.

There's no way out.

Justice has been served.

The hashtag "Taesan survivor"
is trending on social media

as a protest against Taesan's
shoddy apartment construction.

There are growing demands
for safety checks on all apartments…

"Survivor"?

They've been eating
and sleeping comfortably

in the apartments I built,

and now they're pretending to be victims?

Sir,

Taesan lost a trillion won in market value
just ten minutes into trading.

Our treasury stock
won't be enough to stop the slide.

This is all because you couldn't
even get rid of one lousy thug!

I'm sorry, sir.

Neither the media nor the prosecution
is willing to make a move right now.

I see.

All of them

are hiding like cowards.

Sir?

If money won't solve this,
I'll change my methods.

If a thug set this up…

I should play by his rules
so I won't feel bad about it.

Don't you agree, Mr. Kim?

MR. SON, SEOUL POLICE CHIEF

Did you see the news?

You created quite the mess.

I've just been summoned
by the commissioner.

It's your turn to secure
the investigation into Taesan

and become a hero.

I'll make sure Lee Chung-won
ends up in front of the cameras,

so you'd better watch your mouth.

As long as my old boss is released,
I'll keep my mouth shut.

All right.
I just submitted the paperwork for it.

Get it done quickly.

I'll answer it.

Can you step out for a moment?

Come on out. It's okay.

What are you waiting for?

You should say the lines you prepared.

President Park,

I'm sorry.

We're sorry.

- I apologize for throwing salt at you.
- I'm sorry.

- We're sorry.
- We're sorry.

- We were too much.
- We're sorry.

- We apologize.
- We're sorry.

Well, if you've apologized,

you should get to the main point.

President Park,

everyone in our building has agreed

to tear down all the walls
starting tomorrow.

Our building agreed to do it too.

And if you find trash inside?

What if your property value drops?

A safe home for our kids

is more important than our property value.

And you're the only one
who can bring Taesan down.

So please take the lead.

We'll support you.

- Please, President Park.
- Please help us.

Please help us.

Please help us out.

What was that?

Please help us.

- Help us.
- Give us a chance.

We've decided to fight together
until the end,

so, President Park,

let's do this together.

All right.

But I'm doing this my way.

I want you all to have my back,

so no one can touch my sledgehammer.

Let's protect True Value.

Yes!

- Let's protect True Value, everyone!
- Let's do it!

Mr. Kim.

Yes, sir.

Do you know when you feel
the most despair in your life?

When the ground collapses beneath you
just as you think you've made it.

Park Hae-kang
is in that situation right now.

He's all excited, thinking he's won.

This smells nice.

Just wait. I'll be there soon.

Is that you, Hae-kang?

Why are you here again?

Mr. Park is a bit busy,

so I came instead.

Who are you?

Mr. Park said he cares about you a lot,

so I was curious.

Mr. Park is going through a lot
because of you.

You don't share a drop of blood,

yet he's ruining his own life

over so-called loyalty.

He's always been

foolishly loyal.

Who…

Are you?

I'm here to clean up the garbage
that he hasn't been able to get rid of.

Garbage?

It's foolish,

clinging to a losing card until the end.

My mom did that too.

She stood her ground
against the demolition crew swinging bats

just to protect a house
that was already falling apart.

She got carried out, covered in blood,

but the world was so quiet.

That's when I realized

that I shouldn't take away the bats.

I should keep the ones wielding them

beneath my feet.

You're…

Really…

Pitiful.

What did you just say?

You've piled up mountains of money,

but your heart

is still that of the little boy
at the demolition site,

trembling in fear.

You're still a pitiful boy

scattering poison everywhere

so you won't…

Get beaten.

Those are pretty harsh words
coming from a dying man.

"Pitiful"?

That pitiful boy will give you a present.

PARK ♪♪♪♪-MAN

You're really pitiful.

You're still a pitiful boy
scattering poison everywhere

so you won't…

Get beaten.

Yong-man.

Yong-man.

I'm here.

Yong-man.

Yong-man, it's me.

Yong-man!

Someone…

Excuse me.

Anyone?

Please save Yong-man.

Please save him…

Please save Yong-man…

Someone, please save him…

CONDOLENCE BOX

What?

LEE CHUNG-WON

I was startled

when I heard the news.

I heard

he was like a father to you.

You must be devastated.

I happened to be there

in his final moments.

Why did you do it?

You should have been there for him

when he passed away.

But don't worry.

He didn't suffer when he passed.

You…

What did you do?

Huh?

Remember how I said

hangnails should be ripped off,
even if you bleed?

He seemed to be a hangnail

in your life.

So I ripped it off for you.

Don't you feel relieved now?

I offer my deepest…

Condolences.

THE APARTMENT JOB

THE LATE PARK YONG-MAN

You have to win, no matter what it takes.

That's what you have to do.

I'll live my life
proving that you were right.

Cut the prices
of the Oman New Town units in half.

We will be reborn.

Shouldn't we scrape together
every last penny to save our company?

Please have mercy, sir!

Taegowon isn't just a tree farm, is it?

Whenever we took money out of the fund,
we delivered it to Taegowon.

Then our 17.8 billion should be there too.

Should we steal it back?

Yes. He values that more than his life.

They have such pretty nameplates
for every tree.

Do you have a death wish?

Should I try digging?

Change all the license plates.

Move everything,
and don't leave a speck of dirt behind.

But Taesan's warehouse will be too risky.

That one!

I know a place.
Somewhere no one can even imagine.

Are you ready? Run!
