A bank's branch manager and deputy manager...
who aided a group to launder...
a large amount of money...

from the flagged list so they'd avoid suspicion...
were in court today.
A crucial witness statement...
got most of the prosecution's evidence accepted,
and the manager and deputy manager...
- who managed the funds... - How come...
were found guilty.
(Employee Suspicious of the Funds Files a Report)
Hello?
I'll do as commanded, Your Excellency.
Do you think you won again?
You will die by my hand.
Let go of me!
The bishop has instructed me.
I am to lock you up in the punishment room.
There's only one way to guarantee Lee's safety.
It's to get him to court...
so he can testify.
Until he testifies in court,
we must get everyone to focus on us.
Get them to focus on us?
I must walk into the tiger's jaw, then.
It could be more dangerous than we think.
Mr. Kim, you're the one in the deepest danger among us.
She's right.
Once they find out everything,
they won't let you be.
Once Lee Si Wan's safety is guaranteed,
I'll think about how I can escape from here.
I don't see a way out of here.

(Final Episode)
Congratulations on getting released.
The past two years must have been tough.
You must have been busy, Ha Jun.
The chapel is getting built in the backyard.
No. I already have a place in mind.
A place where ignorant people cannot just barge in.
I wonder if the Almighty made me suffer,
so he could show it to me.
Therefore, you will not suffer at all.
I am told by the Almighty that you will rise up even more.
In your own places,
you will soar to the peak to change the world.
So I ask you to keep one thing in mind.
Remember where you came from,
who put you...
in these positions, and why.
Amen.
- Amen. - Amen.
(The day Lee Si Wan appeared in court)
Wouldn't you say I had given you more than enough chances?
Your Excellency, please grant me one more chance.
Let's pray quietly and wait for an answer.
How could he be so weak?
Even the mighty Manager On...
ended up in the lowly punishment room.
Let me promise you something.
Once I get out of here,
I'll kill you and everyone who has anything to do with you.
I will find everyone whom you have helped...
at least once and kill them myself.
The uniform suits you.
Excuse me.
Can you cut the steak for me?
I don't have any energy to lift my arm.
Blame my old age.
Thank you.
Oh, my back.
One, two, three.
Handling nine is over my head.
Yes. Thank you for your hospitality.
Why don't I invite you over to my house next time?
Have a good day, everyone.
Don't stand there! Get him!
Mr. Jang.
You haven't been returning our calls.
My phone died.
Those jerks. Charging his phone...
is the least they can do after kidnapping him.
What about Kim? Can you reach him?
Our communication is still down.
Maybe, his battery is running low too.
To rescue him,
we need to be able to talk to him.
- I'll go. - Go where?
- To give him the battery. - They'll catch you if you go in.
There's a way not to get caught.
What do you see?
Have you been well?
What are you smuggling inside today?
Gosh. Come on. Lower your voice!
It's all right.
I would like it if you can get this inside.
Thanks.
I know you're good at this. Keep up the good work!
It's time for your snack.
Don't eat it up because it's tasty.
Make sure to eat it with water.
(Jangsan Correctional)
(Inmate 5283)
Seriously. I can't believe I'm delivering this. Goodness.
Here's the red bean bun for your snack.
Go Eun.
Mr. Kim.
Is everything okay? Are you hurt?
I'm afraid not. I'm pretty banged up.
Gosh. We were all so worried.
But me the most.
I'm glad we can reach you now.
We were trying to come up with an escape plan for you.
No, don't bother.
What do you mean?
I'm not leaving this place.
- What? - I'll stay.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know how dangerous that place is?
I'm with them on this.
Getting out of there as soon as possible...
should be your priority.
You of all people know...
that the warden and guards are all in on this.
That makes it even better.
In what world can this be better for you?
A place where outsiders can't easily infiltrate.
The people here are on their payroll...
which ironically means that it's a safe place...
protected by law and governmental authority.
This place...
must be their sanctum.
Their sanctum?
Mr. Kim, don't tell me that...
This is the perfect moment...
since Lee Si Wan's testimony cut off their funds.
We need to corner them a little bit more.
How should we do it?
Mr. Choi, Mr. Park, and Go Eun.
You three need to be my arms and legs.
Please get me...
the foreign currency transactions report...
that Lee Si Wan submitted.
We will now block off the pipes that they get their money from.
By blocking off their financial sources,
you want those hidden in the background to surface.
That's your idea.
If you block off one's air supply, they're bound to come up for air.
Kim, while you block off their air supply,
I'll take care of another matter.
There's something I must look into.
Sure.
What is it?
We gathered here today to forge an escape plan for Kim,
but he's thinking about getting these people...
while being held captive.
You really need to take better care of yourself.
Then,
let us begin.

Even with the source of funds...
that Lee Si Wan managed to report,
there are still many left in play.
We don't need to block all the pipes.
Blocking the 1 or 2 most critical ones...
will be effective enough.
(Antiques exchange market)
The antiques exchange market.
Despite its humble size,
it deals with many companies overseas.
(E and G, Briss)
Antiques?
Antiques...
There we go. They have way too much operational funds.
Won't it be dangerous with all the heightened security?
That would be the case if we were after the money.
But our goal is to stop the money from flowing.
I doubt it'll be that hard.
How could we do it?
Having one of the antiques stolen before the auction...
will seriously hurt them.
Are you telling us to steal it?
As if anything's new.
But we'll have to infiltrate a facility...
that will be on high alert...
without Mr. Kim.
Rather than going inside, you'll wait outside.
Outside?
(Schedule)
There's an antique scheduled to be auctioned off today.
Mr. Choi and Mr. Park.
Can I leave you two to handle it?
Of course. Let us handle it.
Us?
Don't just stand there and hurry up. Come on.
Wish you luck.
(Antiques exchange market)
You can take your time, so just be careful.
(S-wing: Premium delivery)

Walk slowly if you must.
Being careful is our priority.
(S-wing: Expert cargo)
Let us head inside. Good job, everyone.
- Good job. - Shall we?
(S-wing: Expert cargo)
We received your call.
- Our call? - Yes, you requested our service.
That's right. You called us.
(Third-tier lender)
This is the company they deal with the most.
When wiring money overseas that can't go through a bank,
this is who they turn to.
Illegal foreign exchange transaction.
The transactions being illegal...
is why they're strict in terms of their clients.
That's right.
Even at Paradise Credit History,
the computer with all the client's personal files...
weren't hooked to an external network...
to prevent it from being hacked.
Should the client list on the computer...
disappear...
They'll have a mental breakdown.
I'll pay them a visit.
(Black Capital)
My baby. How sweet of you.
You seem like a woman of power. How can I be of help today?
I'm here to borrow money.
Have I come to the right place?
You sure have.
How much do you need?
A hundred dollars.
Did you say 100 dollars?
- Yes, 100 dollars. - Why is that?
With the 100 dollars, I'll buy you delicious treats.
Selling one of the items you have will get you more than that.
My gosh. Not my babies.
Anyway, hand me the money.
With the 100 dollars, I'll buy you treats.
Here you go.
Shouldn't I sign a contract?
(Black Capital)
Don't you need my seal?
Where could my seal be?
I'd rather sign it though.
Actually, let's just stamp my seal on it.
I'd prefer to sign it. Forget it. I'll get you my seal.
Sweetie, hold on, will you?
It's very cramped in here.
Dalbong, I bet you want to go for a walk.
Baby, where did I put my seal?
I didn't bring it?
How could I come here without it?
I'd rather not borrow the money.
Good day, then.
Let's go, Dalbong.
My sweetie.
What just happened?
(Rainbow Department Store)
My gosh.
Here you go.
Good boy.
You have no idea how heavy this is.
I made the smallest device I could that could handle degaussing.
I can't make it any lighter.
Dalbong was heavy as well.
- Dalbong, here you go. - Hold still, Dalbong.
What's going on? Where are all our files?
The data on our hard drive have been erased!
What?
What did you just say?
The money is yet to be processed?
Go...
Yes, Your Excellency.
Bring Kim Do Gi...
to me.
(Establish Law and Order with Respect for People)
It seems as though I'll have to visit him myself.
You want to visit Mr. Kim?
They'll take you right away.
I doubt they will kill me.
Besides, it's not Kim who I'm about to visit.
Who, then?
Don't worry too much even if you can't reach me.
I'll be fine.
But Mr. Jang!
(Ready)
Inmate 5283.
You have a special visitor.
Is there any milk?
Shouldn't you have asked to see Kim Do Gi instead?
Either way,
I'm honored that you came to see me...
when I needed you the most.
I have disappointed my elders, you see.
Thanks to you, I will be able to save face.
I was aware of the consequences,
but I had to come.
You had to come?
Because you have a right to know the truth.
(Jangsan Correctional)
Mr. Kim called it.
I guess they are in too deep.
You're getting the plate numbers of the cars, right?
Of course. I didn't even miss a car. I got all of them.
What are you doing? Eat up.
But do I have to eat this?
You must eat the tofu. That way, no one will suspect us.
Let me know when you finish that. I'll give you another one.
What?
Hey, you. Do you want some tofu?
Gosh, that guy.
Come on. Eat up.
(Regular Service at Jangsan Correctional)
I didn't think I'd meet a passenger here.
I underestimated you.
Had I known your capabilities, I would have finished you sooner.
My mistake of underestimating you was quite costly.
You gave me the wrong destination on purpose.
I don't know how to charge you for the taxi fare.
This has never happened to me.
(Regular Service at Jangsan Correctional)
Let me tell you your last moment on earth.
I'm good at reading fortune too.
You see, I used to be a fortune-teller.
According to my reading,
you will end up paying a lot of money for the taxi fare.
It will be an exorbitant taxi fare.
You escaped today...
because you couldn't handle being in prison.
You hid in a remote area to look for a way out of this.
Then armed prison guards found you.
And you were shot to death.
Your death will be tragic and meaningless.
Just like your mother.
I want you to pay the taxi fare now.
With your life.
Grab him.
Mom!
Gosh. This is nothing.
You can't even overcome this pathetic trauma of yours.
Why kid yourself that you can help people?
I will take care of it as you instructed.
You can also take care of his boss...
who practically gave himself up to us.

(Second Chance Laundry)
They just launched a full-scale investigation on us.
Now that there is no inflow of funds,
the damage we're facing is too severe to handle.
We must do everything we can to fix this, Your Excellency.
Please give us a solution.
We must come up with a solution.
- We need a solution. - How can we fix this?
- We've been working so hard. - We ought to!
- This is unbelievable. - Quiet.
Just because you're in high places,
you must think that you are in control.
As I put you in such places,
I can bring you down as well.
Watch your tongue and show me respect.
And do not worry.
Or feel insecure.
You will not face any hardships.
I have already prepared a sacrificial lamb...
to take your places.
- Amen. - Amen.

(Looking for a Missing Child, Kim Dan Woo)
Despite knowing what would happen to me,
I had to come.
Because you have the right to know the truth too.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Kim Dan Woo)
Over a decade ago,
I met your parents through Blue Bird Foundation.
You were running around the playground...
in front of your house.
Then one day, someone had taken you, and you were gone.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Kim Dan Woo)
(Kim Dan Woo, 9-year-old boy)

Otherwise, your enemy will have a chance to define you...
and tell people that you are evil.

on behalf of Ha Jun who just died.

and went looking for you.

You have become stronger today. To celebrate that,
I'll give you a present.
People with this ring will help you.
I'm sorry. I'm late.
How should I process this one?
A father was out looking for his child.
But he couldn't find the kid and jumped off a building.
How does one record that incident?
(Welfare Home for Brothers and Sisters)
(Director's Office)
So what?
What am I supposed to do about this now?
Mr. Kim!
Mr. Jang, are you all right?
- Yes. - We have five.
Five is the magic number.
Aim.
I had no idea our lives would end this way.
Gyeong Gu.
Guys...
I had fun while it lasted.
No, there's still a way.
Stay alert, will you?
Think of a way out of this.
I doubt there is one.
But Gyeong Gu!
Listen to me, will you?
Fire.
I love you all!

Ms. Driver, does that pager actually work?
Really?
Please come again.
I thought you were never going to call me again.
I figured you were doing fine on your own.
Thank you for making the trip.
Are you still worried about others being hurt?
Say hello, guys.
She was the first driver of the deluxe taxi.
What?
Thank you for helping us.
I do not wish to reprimand you...
because you have never once disappointed me before.
You have never done wrong,
so of course you don't know how to take responsibility.
I remember how brightly you smiled...
when we built a new building where the welfare home was.
A tremendous amount of damage was caused...
which has stirred many complaints.
Some of the local corporations are now targets of an investigation...
which has people wondering about them.
I'd like this incident...
to teach you how to take responsibility.
What you should say to the prosecutor...
has already been written down for you.
Pray quietly and you will be answered.
Your Excellency, I'm afraid there's trouble.
Please spare my life.
Spare your life?
Then explain why I should keep you alive.
I...
I will gladly accept the punishment you give me.
So that all the blame is targeted my way,
I will take your place...
and take the fall as the man in charge.
I only ask for one thing in return.
Kim Do Gi...
Let me be the one to kill him.
I will put an end...
to our feud.
Mr. Jang told me a while back...
that there was someone who drives nastier than I do.
I also heard a lot from him,
The first Deluxe Driver.
Thank you for helping us out.
(On Ha Jun)
Do you accept clients like me?
What did he want?
He wants to put an end to our battle.
Take it.
I was going to drive you home since you seemed tired,
but I don't think that's where you're headed.
One should see the end of a battle.
Don't you dare say you're doing this alone.
She's right.
You being alone worries me.
Fine. Let's all go together.
Mr. Jang, you must feel reassured.
I'd rather be the one to make them feel that way.
Thank you for making the long trip.
Let me drive you to the airport.
Don't be ridiculous.
You should operate with those people as well.
They're off to end the battle.
Get going, then.
I'll wrap this up before I go.

Yes.

Sometimes, I want to see a man die in person.
Go back inside. It's cold out here.
(Realize a just society.)
Is this what you wanted?
You were right.
Some things must be remembered to get them back.
Had I met you guys first,
would my life have been different?
However it might have changed,
it would've been better than this.

So that was your real name?
It's a good name.
Thanks for taking my case, Do Gi.
Do you accept clients like me too?
I want to end this fight.

I will end this fight myself.
What?

dare you?

I didn't drink it.
Why you...
What are you doing out here?
Are you just getting home?
- Aren't you cold? - I'm enjoying the chilly breeze.
Do you know what I missed the most after moving out?
Having a bottle of beer out here after work...
while enjoying the nightscape.
It's nice to be a tenant here again.
I want to come here every day.
Is that so?
That reminds me.
Mr. Kim.
Cheers.
Did you know...
that 30cm is the distance one can maintain...
while socially feeling close to someone?
Being more than 30cm apart will make you seem nonchalant,
and being closer than that will be too in-your-face.
At times, the distance can also be scary.
You moved back here after living more than 30cm away.
I doubt we're indifferent to one another.
When we clinked our bottles a second ago,
the gap between us was less than 30cm.
About 25cm.
But it didn't make me uncomfortable,
nor was I scared.
