[elevator chimes]

Stand here.

Phones, here.

[escort] What are you doing?

You're good.

[thug] Follow me.

[thug 2] Go ahead.

And your purse.

What's wrong?

Is this not allowed?

'Cause I won't survive
five minutes without this.

[K] Hey…

That will rot your teeth out.

Be careful, yeah?

Let her in.

Let's go, let's go. This will be fun.

-[escort] Is this really a party room?
-[escort 2] What?

-What is this place?
-What's this? There's nothing here.

HAE IL

How's Gilho?

Um, well, he's out like a light.
Should we, uh,

take care of him when we're ready?

Hey…

I don't want anybody to touch Gilho.

Remember that he belongs to me.
Just keep an eye on him.

Yes, sir.

Hey, let's move him for now.

All right.

-The f*ck? Did he escape?
-sh*t.

-m*therf*cker!
-[grunts]

-[grunting]
-[shouting]

What?

[panting]

God, you f*cking idiots.

It was for all our sakes, Prosecutor.

You said you wanted to be
part of the entire plan.

[♪ opera music playing]

I told you.

No matter what,
you'll always be my underling.

Good to see you again.

[chuckles]

All right. Let's get started.

-Here we go.
-Prosecutor Min?

It's a foolproof contract, reviewed
by an attorney and a working prosecutor.

Yeah. [clicks tongue]

Seriously, what is this place?

[Lee] You did work out the side effects
of the meds, though, right?

I mean, not that I don't trust you.

Well, why don't you see for yourself?

[device beeps]

-Huh?
-What?

Next month we're releasing
Leon and Leon Plus.

They will turn the market
completely upside down.

-[device beeps]
-Begin.

That one syringe
contains ten doses of Leon.

These girls haven't developed, uh,
any tolerance yet,

so you'll get to see
the full effect of Leon.

Watch.

No, I don't want to!

-[escorts screaming, clamoring]
-[escort] Get off!

No!

No, don't!

[screams]

[gasps]

You're injecting an entire syringe
into her?

Isn't that lethal?

[Daesik] We are sure
this will work, right?

That's why we made the Leon Plus.

Listen, you wanna get rich or not?

GANGNAM B-SIDE

[breathing heavily]

[escort coughing, gagging]

[gagging, breathing heavily]

So that's the detox med, right?

Leon Plus?

[breathing heavily]

-Oh. Oh!
-[Daesik] Wait. Wait, it's working!

[cheering]

It works. Yeah!

[breathing shakily]

-[Daesik] Yes! Well done!
-[all laughing, applauding]

[Lee] Mr. Choi.
You're the only one I believe in.

[board member 2] And we were worried.

Bravo!

[laughing]

[grunting, groaning]

[gasping]

[breathing heavily]

-What's wrong with her?
-[Gyungsoon] What's going on?

-[Gyungsoon] Hey. What's going on?
-[board member 2] What's happening?

[gagging]

[board member 2]
Is she gonna be all right?

Huh?

[Daesik] What is this?

[gasping, groaning]

[gasping]

-[Dongwoo] Hey.
-[grunts]

[gasping, choking]

[breathing heavily]

Hey, are you okay?

[board member 2] Is that blood?

[Lee] What's happening?
What's going on? f*ck.

[board member 2]
I don't think she's breathing.

[Daesik] Come on, people.
Hold it together. All right?

-[gasping]
-[Yeseo] Hey!

[breathing heavily]

Aren't you a doctor? She's dying!

Do something!

[gasping]

[Yeseo screaming]

[gasps]

[Yeseo] No!

sh*t! That sh*t is happening again!

I thought you told all of us these side
effects weren't going to happen again!

Reactions depend on the individual,

just like all drugs.

You know what I'm saying.

You promised it was ready.
Making us go back and forth like that.

We didn't dump a ton of money
into this med to see that sh*t.

[Yeseo screaming]

You keep complaining.

Just watch the rest of the trial.

[Gyungsoon stuttering]
He's right… [chuckles]

These types of trials are considered
successful if you do any better than 50%.

We all know that. [chuckles]

[Yeseo continues screaming]

-[sighs]
-[device beeps]

Carry on.

[screaming] No!

[Yeseo] No. Get off me!

Hey!

I said get off me!

[Yeseo screaming]

Why don't we finish
the contract signing first?

Once the products are released
across the country next month,

everyone here will make enough money
to retire like kings and queens, right?

And that was the point
of this whole project.

-[device beeps]
-Hold on.

[no audible dialogue]

[monitor chimes]

[phone buzzing]

[phone buzzing]

-[Gilho] Did you find your daughter?
-Where are you?

I'm at some kind of… [breathing heavily]
…drug company.

Wait a minute. You're here?

[Gilho] "Here"? Where are you now?

Hey, listen. Choi Hakgu tested the meds
on the girls.

And Jaehee took a video of it.
Yeseo's in danger right now.

[winces]

[grunting]

Now, please, go ahead and sign,

so that fate will bind us all
in an official capacity.

Hey! [grunts]

[grunting]

[tires screech]

[clamoring]

-[thug 3] Help me!
-Go, now.

[thug 3] Come on! Hurry up and untie this!

[screaming]

Go! Go, man!

Get the f*ck out of here!

[thug 4] Get that m*therf*cker!

[screaming, groaning]

Ah, f*ck me. Is this some kind of joke?

sh*t. [clicks tongue]

Why is it 51 for you
and 49 for the rest of us combined?

I told you that you would only get
the g*dd*mn permits

if you split it nicely, didn't I?

[sighs]

Look, everyone.

We're all putting our lives on the line

by diving into this crazy,
f*cked-up business,

so shouldn't we be getting,
oh, I don't know,

more than chump change in return?

Don't you think?

Why, hello, Detective.

You must be here to save your daughter.

Yeseo. Where is she?

Why don't you just go?

Your daughter doesn't seem
to care about her father anyway.

Where is Yeseo?

If you want to see her so bad,
let's see if you can climb these stairs.

You might want to see this.

[breathing heavily]

[monitor chimes]

What now? sh*t.

[Dongwoo] Is this what
you've been looking for so desperately?

Kim Jaehee's video!

Do you not need this anymore,
you b*stards?

Huh?

[Lee] What's he talking about? What video?

Mr. Choi, who is he? Huh?

Listen, don't mind him.
Let's just keep going.

Oh, no, no, no.

We should know exactly
what's happening out there.

It's our right.

How dare you threaten us, m*therf*cker.

So, you won't be needing this?

And let me know

I don't care about the others.

Actually, take all their names out.

You and me, end of story. We go 50-50.

If that's not the deal,
you can't launch anything.

You know that, right?

Where are you going?

You can't walk away.

You can't just walk out of this!

It's okay.

Well, I warned you, didn't I?

All right, okay. Okay.

Let go of her and we'll talk. Okay?

No, no, no.

Instead, watch closely…

Watch how your daughter
turns into a junkie

and starts walking on all fours.

Stop! No!

[Dongwoo screams] Yeseo!

Yeseo.

Yeseo!

What shall I do?

Let her live as a junkie in pain,

We've got to try!

[Dongwoo] Open the airway.
Open the airway.

somewhere like that,

where I can lounge till I die gracefully.

[Gilho grunting]

[Jaehee]
By the way, what's your real name?

[Gilho] Minseok.

[exhales]

You don't have anywhere else to go.
We're in the same boat.

GANGNAM, SEOUL

[reporter]
The shocking video vividly captures

the frightening scene of a live drug test,

and clearly shows the faces of a few
notable figures from the political world.

Furthermore, tens of thousands
of CCTV footage

tapes from inside the building
have been submitted as evidence.

We also learned that the names of dozens
of Korean and foreign political leaders

were found in foreign ghost account
statements of HI International,

the parent company
of Hae Il Biopharmaceutical.

Meanwhile, the release of Hae Il's
latest products, Leon and Leon Plus,

will be postponed indefinitely.

[reporter 2] What's your relationship with
the late prosecutor General Tak?

What made you decide to blow the whistle
on the prosecution?

[reporter 3]
Who was falsely accused as the culprit?

I will fully cooperate
with the investigation.

[reporter 3] Ma'am, ma'am! Excuse me!

[reporters clamoring]

The prosecution's
investigation is beginning very shortly.

PEOPLE OVER ISSUE

Tell us, how do you feel?

I'm sure the title "whistle-blower"
has to carry a lot of weight,

especially in this scenario.

When exactly
did you begin this lonely battle?

A year ago,

I was approached
by former-Chief Prosecutor, Tak Juil.

He ordered me to frame and prosecute
an innocent man

in the Gangnam missing persons' case.

At the time,

I was seduced by the…

the idea of a promotion,

so I acquiesced.

It wasn't long before I figured out
that a criminal organization

was involved in the case.

A criminal organization allied
with a cartel of politicians.

Powerful politicians.

As a low-level prosecutor,

I-I realized that I had no chance
of taking them down myself.

As a prosecutor for the Republic of Korea,

I admit I permitted myself
to be a bystander and an accomplice

to their heinous crimes…

and I should willingly pay the price.

[siren wailing]

The business had been closed
since yesterday, so that's kind of fishy.

You sure about this?

Last time, we even called for backup,
but it turned out to be nothing.

So, what? I'm not supposed to go?

Get in the car.

[people clamoring]

We're police.
Can you tell me what happened?

[dealer] Damn it!

That punk set it on fire again and fled.

-g*dd*mn it.
-[goon] sh*t!

[detective] Hey, what's going on?

[dealer] I don't know.

Some lunatic came in with a bat
and beat the sh*t out of us.

God, yeah. It's him again.

-Wrap it up quick.
-Yes, sir.

Hey, come on out.

[chattering]

Captain. Backup is here.

Looks like they're almost done.

Guess there are more of these idiots
in Apgujeong Rodeo right now.

Let's go.

There's work to do.

Yes, sir.
