THIS SHOW IS FICTION, AND THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS,
EVENTS, GROUPS, AND BACKGROUNDS ON THE SHOW ARE NOT REAL
Was the real killer caught?
No.
Jihun did his best, but he couldn't catch him.
Mr. Cheon…
What happened to Mr. Cheon?
Yejin, I am going to leave the prosecution.
Why? If you want to investigate Ms. Lee's case or your father's case,
wouldn't it be better if you stayed?
That's why I am leaving.
There are too many eyes watching for me to stay in the prosecution.
Where will you go?
LEE JUYEONG
ATTORNEY, LEE JUYEONG
LEGAL FEE: 1,000 WON
I thought about it for a long time.
Why was it 1,000 won?
Anyone there?
I asked the lady lawyer to take on my case before,
but I never heard back from her.
By the way, is the legal fee really 1,000 won?
Yes.
That's right. It's 1,000 won.
I am a lawyer that costs 1000 won.
ONE DOLLAR LAWYER
EPISODE 9
Then…
Mr. Cheon has…
taken over the office?
Yes.
What's wrong?
Then why is Minhyeok acting like that towards Mr. Cheon?
So, Minhyeok used to like Jihun a lot.
I mean, he looked up to him. Mm.
And then Jihun announced that he was leaving suddenly.
So, he was disappointed.
Minhyeok doesn't know anything!
Hey, why are you so worked up?
Stop that.
I have no idea why you're suffering.
-I'm here. -Why…
Jihun.
-Yejin, are you leaving first-- -Yes!
Yeowon is waiting. I have to go.
Okay, what is it?
Mr. Cheon.
Yes?
You must be suffering a lot.
Yes. I am suffering greatly.
To be a lawyer who takes the drunk probationary employee is…
great suffering.
Mr. Cheon.
Yes?
-I… -Yes.
I think it was a good idea to be your probationary employee.
Hmm. Yes, it was.
Did you drink a lot?
It was a good idea.
It really was.
Did you drink a lot?
-That's just how I feel. -I see.
So, tell me your home address…
Your head is falling to the side…
Don't close your eyes.
And you're asleep.
Hmm.
What is all this?
Today is our turn to get the lodge money.
I showed off my skills for today.
Was it our turn already?
DEPOSIT 5,000,000 WON JUNE LODGE MONEY
It just came in. Just now.
Let's buy Jun some things he needs.
And add to the office rent.
I will.
Dad, I want the toy I told you about last time.
The transforming robot!
Okay, Daddy will buy it for you.
We're rich now.
Yes, we are rich, aren't we?
Take this and share it with everybody.
Mr. Cheon seemed to like it last time.
Why do you like him so much?
Jun, did you eat a lot?
Yes. It was very delicious.
How much?
This much!
Daddy loves you this much too.
I love you.
Who does he take after? He's so cute.
JEIL LAUNDRY
It smells delicious.
Mr. Cheon and Mari will love it.
It's doing it again.
Hey.
What's going on?
You darn car.
USED VAN FOR SALE
Good morning.
What are you doing?
-Oh, my heart! -Oh, my heart.
You're here.
It's an ad for a used car.
It seemed like a good price.
Used cars?
That looks like a pretty good deal.
-It does, right? -But don't you think it's a scam?
-A scam? -Yes.
There are a lot of fake deals these days.
I've worked here for many years.
I am quite shrewd about most things like a lawyer.
Wait and see.
Hello? Is this Yeongeun?
Do you still have the New Damas?
Was this from the other day?
Let's start the meeting, Manager.
Who is this?
PROSECUTOR, NA YEJIN
-Ms. Na will be here soon. -Okay.
Did Na Yejin shrink this small?
Do you know my mom?
What's wrong with you? Can't you remember Uncle Minhyeok?
I adored you before I went to America.
And you said I was the most handsome guy in the world.
No?
Do I look like this, then?
You laughed.
You are adorable.
Yeowon, didn't you go to school today?
I think her nanny is sick.
She couldn't leave Yeowon home alone.
Ms. Na asked us to watch her.
Goodness, I see.
-Mommy. -Hey.
-Did you say hi to Uncle Minhyeok? -Yeah.
-Are you done with your homework? -I have a little left.
Yeowon.
Can you wait for me a little longer?
Yeah. I can wait.
Yeowon, do you want to see your mom working today?
What? No.
Why not? I will keep an eye on her.
I will be quiet, Mommy.
-Okay? -Okay?
OFFICE OF LAW, 2F
I'm here.
Hello, Mr. Cheon.
You're right on time.
Hmm.
What about Mr. Sa? Did he go somewhere?
He went to see about a used car, saying it's time to get a new car.
A used car?
I hope he's not going to go somewhere and get ripped off.
I'm worried.
-Hmm. -Hmm.
He seemed to be quite thorough.
Shall I make some coffee for you?
No. I will make my own coffee.
No.
I will make it for you.
Wait, stop.
Stop. Stop.
I have to make it.
Why?
There's a reason.
Oops.
Mmm.
The aroma is wonderful.
No need to go to a café?
That's too bad.
If I made it for you, it would've been even more fragrant.
Mari.
Tell me truthfully. Why are you acting like this to me?
Hmm? What do you mean?
It's creepy.
And you are overly kind today.
That's right. Your left eyebrow and lips
are wiggling like a worm.
That's the kind of expression that suits you.
How pretty is that?
Yes. That's it.
It's never been in an accident. None of these parts were changed.
-It's my first car, I'm not sure. -Well, then.
Because you don't look up those things. You can search for accident history…
YEONGEUN
Hello?
I just arrived in front of the building.
Should I pull in? Okay.
Hello?
-Yeongeun? -Ah, Yeongeun!
-Yeongeun. -Yes, Hello.
Yes, hello.
Your clothes are…
Yes. I used to work at an auto shop before.
I see.
There's an oil stain.
By the way, you're not posting a video online, are you?
Tube? A what tube?
It's nothing. Come with me.
Anyway, is it the same price as it was mentioned on the website?
Have you been swindled a lot? We strictly follow the law in our sales.
I see. I work in that field.
In that field?
I work at a law office.
As an office manager.
Ah.
You don't have to worry about anything.
Judges, prosecutors, lawyers. They all buy used cars from us.
-Is that right? -Yes.
This drives great!
Whoo-hoo! Ooh!
How was it?
I really like it. Really.
So then…
-What is this? -Hmm.
Something was left out.
Left out?
There is a knocking in the engine. Did you hear it while driving?
What?
Listen to the engine.
I hear it all of a sudden.
-Don't you? -I can hear it.
If the engine breaks down because of it, you'll lose a few million.
But--
The suspension is loose too.
What?
-No. -Look. The car shouldn't shake like this.
-The suspension? -Yes.
They said there was nothing wrong and it was a vehicle in good condition.
You should know better. If you lose the suspension, it's the end.
But… they said it was fine.
They said it was just a display car.
Would they keep it sitting here if it was in good condition?
I think there is an oil leak as well.
-Oil? -Take a look here.
No.
It really is leaking.
They said it was okay.
Sir, I am telling you this because you remind me of my older cousin.
Am I older?
You remind me of my older cousin.
I see.
There is a similar model on our lot.
Would you like to see that one?
I thank you for being honest.
Yes. I will take a look.
Nickname, Car King.
Seoul's Yeongeun Market, Bucheon's Gary Old Car,
Seongnam's Furious Motors, Paju's Parrari and more.
The nickname belongs to the boss of used car scammers
that are prevalent in these areas.
We suspect that he also owns a used car lot himself.
They aren't a single organization and we couldn't root them out so far.
If we catch this guy, we can get them all with a single blow.
What is a single organization?
Let's say we get the head.
How are you going to rope the others in?
Apparently, one of these businesses
pays a cash bribe at the end of every month.
The company changes every month
and it has a complicated money laundering process,
so it is not easy to track it. However,
according to an informant, we will get a better picture within a month.
An informant? You have a source?
Is he trustworthy?
Yes, he is.
You say we can make some progress within a month, right?
Good. Let's go forward with it.
Yes, sir.
We will begin the next agenda.
Here, all you have to do is sign the papers.
But this is more expensive than the one I saw before coming.
The other car you saw is
a display car so it's priced a little lower than the market price.
This one has no issues and it's clean.
If you buy this, you're definitely getting a deal.
Aah.
So, this includes car sales service fees.
If you don't have enough cash, we can provide financing.
But we do charge financing charges.
So, wouldn't it be better to pay in cash?
Yes, I will.
I will go ahead with the contract.
-Good choice! -Yes!
Yes, it was a good purchase.
I bought it at a good price, so Jun's mom will be happy too.
Jun, we will have to buy the transforming robot next time!
Let's drive!
Huh?
What's wrong with it?
What's happening?
Are you the mechanic?
Please take a look at this.
There must be something wrong with the car. It's smoking.
What's wrong with it?
I am the owner of this car.
I bought this car today and this happened.
I am the owner of this car!
I bought this car today and this happened!
I am the owner of this car.
Geez. How can this be?
How was it, Ms. Baek? Wasn't it pretty good?
It was very good. It's better than most must-eat places.
You're right.
-The food-- -Wait!
I will clear the table.
-I will clear-- -No, wait.
What's wrong?
I'll do it.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you being like this?
You look at me all weirdly since last night.
When I came in today, you were like, "Welcome," and touch my shoulder.
Why are you so nice to me?
That look. That look is weird.
What?
Aah!
Ms. Baek, sit down.
Mm. I got the clue.
Ms. Baek, be honest.
After working here, you feel like you can learn a lot from me.
And when you leave this office, you won't have anywhere to go.
So, you are trying to stay put.
So, you're kissing up to me, aren't you?
I have plenty of places to go! It's not like that.
It doesn't look like it's not.
You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool me.
I have the quickest wit, you see.
I am not easily swayed by brownnosing.
I only look at skills. Skills, okay?
I didn't think you were like this, but you're a bad person.
You are very calculating.
A very bad person.
You play with people's hearts.
-I said it's not like that. -Stop!
Stop.
No more. Finished. The end.
What's taking Mr. Sa so long? I'm getting worried.
It isn't like that.
I am the person who just bought a car.
The car broke down!
I want to get a refund!
Give me back my money!
Does he want a refund?
Yes, sir.
Sir, where is the vehicle right now?
It broke down so I couldn't bring it!
I mean, you broke the car by your own fault and you want a refund.
Don't you think that is wrong?
It was broken, to begin with!
Isn't that right? You shouldn't have sold the car!
No matter how much I think about it, this is wrong.
This is wrong! It's wrong!
Give me a refund, please?
Please give me a refund.
Sir.
How about a refund on your life, instead of the refund on the car?
What?
Yes, we are rich, aren't we?
Dad, I want the toy I told you about last time.
What's going on?
He's not here today either? Is he making himself a used car?
Where is he? I'm worried.
It doesn't seem right, does it? He's not answering his phone either.
MISSED CALL FROM MR. CHEON MISSED CALL FROM MS. BAEK
JEIL LAUNDRY
Come back here.
Stop right there.
Mr. Sa.
Why is it so hard to get a hold of you? I thought you went to buy a used car.
Tell me everything. I suspect something is wrong.
You heard everything?
I heard nothing. I have to hear it from you now.
-What? -What?
Lay it all on me.
I am… on your side.
Mr. Cheon. What should I do?
What should I do?
Really…
What should I do? I don't know.
So you went there after seeing this?
Yes. The price was so cheap.
Cheap? You are so frustrating.
Mr. Sa, think about it.
Where on earth is there a cheap car that's good?
I asked about it too.
They said they brought an expired display vehicle.
That's their thing.
They post a good car at a cheap price and lure people in.
And when you go, they show you another car and sell it for much more.
That's right. "It's a display vehicle."
"It's cheap because we got it from a court auction or a public sale."
They say these things to get you to come.
If it were so great, they'd be driving it.
Ms. Baek, I just explained the same thing to him.
Why don't you sit this one out?
Yeah.
Let's go.
What? Where?
To get a refund.
A refund? Would they do it so easily?
No, they wouldn't. We have to make them give you a refund.
Ms. Baek, aren't you coming?
You told me to sit this one out.
Let's go together.
It's been a while…
since you got to show yourself.
Wait for me.
I wasn't on much either.
The office seems to be over there. Do you remember the exact location?
-I don't know. -What?
They said the office was too crowded.
I met the owner at a different location.
Mr. Sa, do you know the phone number on their website?
-Yes. -What is that number?
Hold on.
Are you the one who called?
Yes. It was me.
Did you look into a few used cars?
I did look here and there.
To be honest, I don't know much about cars.
It's my first time buying a used car too.
Ah.
Then you came to the right place.
You are lucky.
Would you like a test drive?
A test drive?
Okay.
Even at a glance they look suspicious.
How was it?
You want to make a quick decision.
Another customer looked at this car yesterday.
I like this car. I will take it.
Ah, you should be a bit more prudent.
No. You said someone looked at it yesterday.
What if he takes it while I hesitate?
I will take this car. I like it.
If that's the case…
No. So…
Well, there is something I forgot to tell you.
What is it?
This car has an engine knocking.
Knock… Knocking? What is that?
I guess you didn't hear it when you were driving.
It's the sound from the engine. Put your ear to the engine and listen.
Okay.
Do you hear it?
That's weird. There is sound coming from here.
I know.
A sound?
It's weird. From the engine…
-A sound like this is coming. -Oh, no.
But, I…
I really like this sound.
Did you tune it up? I really like this sound.
No, it's not like a tune-up. It's called knocking.
If the engine breaks down because of it, you'll lose a few million.
What? Lose a few million?
How can I lose a few million? This car isn't worth that much.
That is totally ridiculous. What…
is the reason you're telling me
comes to me all of a sudden.
Be honest.
You're trying to…
-sell it to that person from yesterday. -No, that's not it.
This is… Look at this.
The suspension is loose too. Look.
The car shouldn't shake like this.
I see. The suspension is loose.
Oh.
Aah.
If the suspension is loose,
I will tighten it up. I will take this car. Give me this car.
I am not trying to sell this car to another person.
The steering pump on this car is leaking too.
-Look. There's oil here. -Look at that.
If the oil pump is leaking, I'll plug it up.
I will buy this car.
Plugging it up won't do. Look, there is a puddle.
I can clean up the puddle. Give me this car.
Look, sir. I am telling you this…
because you remind me of my brother.
I'm like your brother? Me?
-Just your image. -I see, my image.
There is another model on our lot that is similar to this one.
I don't want to see it.
I will buy this one. Give me this car.
Look at that! The tire just came off.
It only comes off when you're driving.
Gosh, I can't even sell it now.
-The tire came off. -I know!
Wow.
Such a retro look.
This is exactly the car I wanted.
It's the car I exactly wanted!
It totally suits my style!
Let's sign the contract.
Ha. Yes, let's do that.
Give me this car.
Let me make a call.
You... you're buying this car, right?
Yes. I will buy it.
Yes, okay.
Well, well.
What? Why are you chasing after me?
I said I'll buy the car!
Don't sell it to that person from yesterday!
Shoot!
I don't want to sell it!
Sell it!
Sell the car!
You're laughing?
Give me the car!
What happened?
Are you even hurt?
You…
Ah!
He says he wants to buy the car!
CAR SALES EMPLOYEE CARD NAME: HWANG GEUMSIK
What's this? The face is different.
Okay, Mr. Hwang Geumsik. Let me ask you just one thing.
Will you sell me the car or not?
I won't sell it.
Can you not buy it?
Mm.
"I won't sell it."
Good. Very good.
Then, let me ask you again for the last time.
-Mr. Hwang Geumsik? -Yes?
Will you or will you not sell that car to me?
If I sell it, I will be beaten to death.
-By who? -By our boss.
Boss?
Then what about the people
who got swindled by your fraudulent business?
Please let it slide, big brother.
Please, big sister.
Big sister? Who? Me?
Yes.
I am younger than you think.
Even if you are… How old are you?
I'm 23.
I was actually…
orphaned at a young age.
I didn't graduate from school.
I supported my younger siblings
and went through a lot.
The world was not so easy for a young kid to make money.
Please forgive me.
Mr. Cheon.
He's too young to know.
He probably didn't know any better.
Right, he's too young.
Being young doesn't excuse you!
Being young is not a privilege!
Do you think you get a free pass?
-Mr. Hwang Geumsik. -Yes?
The crime doesn't become lesser because of your young age.
Understand that.
Okay.
I will forgive you under one condition.
Make me a dealer.
I want to make money too.
I need money to pay my office rent. Please tell your boss.
I'm sorry I was informal with you because you were young.
Mr. Cheon, what are you doing?
Let's get the refund and go.
I agree. You scared them enough.
Let's get the refund for Mr. Sa's car and leave.
Do you want to get the refund for just Mr. Sa's car and leave?
What about other people? We should get a refund for everyone.
How?
Ms. Baek,
I will buy you an outfit.
-He's Geumsik's hometown buddy? -Yes. We grew up in the same town.
Yes. Nice to meet you, sir.
My name is Cheon Jihun, Geumsik's hometown buddy.
Please call me Hun for short.
-What about her? -What?
She's…
my younger cousin.
She wants to become a used car dealer and make a lot of money.
So, I brought her with me.
Is that right?
It's not an easy job for a woman.
Just give me a chance, and I will do my best!
Let's go.
You've got spunk.
If Hun is older than Geumsik, you are…
I am 29.
-Then your cousin is-- -Yes. I'm 22!
You have a great attitude, but let's lower your voice a little.
Yes, sir.
-You want to work here? -Yes, boss.
-Why? -Geumsik told me that you can get--
You can get as much as you work! That's what Jihun taught me!
That's exactly it.
How fair is that? You take as much as you earn.
I will do an honest job and do my--
I will do my best!
Okay. I like you. I do.
She's more fun than this guy.
Do your best. Okay?
Geumsik, show them the ropes.
Yes, boss.
-Yes, boss. Thank-- -Thank you, boss!
My gosh.
NUMBER 1 DEALER OF USED CARS!
Hey, it's worth five million won. Do it right.
I checked it, I swear.
SEOUL USED CARS YEONGEUN
What are you looking around for?
Since I'm here, I should take in the atmosphere.
There's nothing to take in here.
Our job is simple.
Let's say the customer comes in after seeing a fake ad.
We make them forget that car by using the regular repertoire,
then sell them another car for a higher price.
-Isn't it simple? -It sure is.
Here. I prepared this for you.
What is this?
You just have to memorize a few things.
Mm.
It's…
This part here is important.
-Oh, this. -Yeah.
This part is…
My stomach. Where is the bathroom?
-At the end of the hall. -Is that so? Okay…
YEONGEUN MARKET
Look, we're missing 100 million won.
Are you sure you emptied their pockets?
Not just their pockets, we even searched their underpants.
This is driving me crazy.
The guys in the other region must've met the quota.
Then can we borrow from the Bucheon area?
I have my pride, punk.
Post a lot of bait on the internet by tomorrow.
Come up with 100 million somehow.
Yes, we will.
Hey, what are you doing over there?
Who are you?
I got lost during the Yeongeun Market new employee training--
I'm very sorry.
He's a trainee. I think he came down the wrong hall.
-You can't be here. -I couldn't find the bathroom.
I'm very sorry.
Watch out.
Where is the bathroom?
I told you it's at the end of the hall.
You had me so scared.
This is why you can never take your eyes off of the newbies.
This is where you can't go. The bathroom is over here.
But Geumsik, let me ask you something.
Can we… do this?
-Do what? -You know.
Like this…
I mean, can we sell used cars in such a clever way?
Of course. You have to work hard. Or else you'll miss your chance.
Don't you feel guilty?
Feel guilty? I guess she didn't read the survey.
I mean, for a billion won,
more than half the kids in their early twenties
are willing to go to jail on behalf of a criminal.
That's not because people are good,
but because they didn't have the chance to make money like we did.
Aah.
The world revolves around money.
And that's why you both are here, to make money.
-Isn't that right? -Yes.
Why are we here?
-We're here to make money. -Exactly.
Then you should work hard and forget about your conscience.
But aren't you afraid you could get caught?
It's not a big deal.
Do you know where our boss is right now?
Where is he?
He's getting investigated by a prosecutor.
Ah.
What? I have no idea.
I don't know what you're talking about. Jeez.
Who is above you?
There is no one up there.
Who could be above me? I'm the boss.
You are all close friends here.
Hello, you guys are all here.
-Hi. -Hello.
Yes, I do see them once in a while.
Don't you know the prosecutor next door?
What about this, then?
It's the withdrawal record of a victim who bought a car from you two months ago.
Does it make sense that a 10-year-old car costs the price of a new car?
These guys…
They've got great skills.
Listen. Must-eat restaurants aren't the only ones with secret know-how.
There is know-how in this business too. See?
That's what you call a scam.
Scam?
Is there a legal clause
that says you can't sell a 10-year-old car for the price of a new car?
You post an ad for a good car for cheap,
and you sell a different car for more by giving excuses about this and that.
That's fraud.
We did make a little profit by selling used cars.
But I have never posted a fraudulent ad.
If you have evidence, let me see it.
Find each and every person who claims to be swindled.
Collect every contract and bring them.
No, even if you bring them,
those contracts weren't made because I told them to.
The ones who work for me broke the law to make more profit.
How am I supposed to manage every single one of them?
I will get you no matter what.
Yes, please do.
Don't exhaust yourself.
You need to leave some strength for raising your kid.
The most important thing is your eyes.
The eyes that make the customers trust you.
Everyone, let's take a break and have this.
-What is this? -This?
Well, it's getting late, and for frau--
And for all of us who are studying so hard,
I brought braised spicy chicken for everyone!
-Ooh... -Ah.
This is so good.
Is this braised chicken or spaghetti?
Braised chicken or spaghetti?
Whatever it is, it's good as the basic ingredients are good.
A person is the same.
Did you memorize the basics?
Did you memorize them?
I did.
-She did. -Okay.
Boss, you're back.
Are you back, boss?
Hun brought this and it's so good. Would you like to have some?
Go ahead and eat. I have no appetite right now.
What happened to the investigation at the prosecutor's office?
Geumsik, you are moving up in the ranks. You even ask me how I'm doing.
I was just… worried.
Look at your sales.
Do you think I fed and raised you for these lousy results?
I'm sorry.
If you're really worried, bring in some money.
Yes, sir.
Sir, at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow--
Shut up.
Say those things elsewhere, okay?
-I'm sorry, boss. -Let's be careful.
Yes.
Our newbies, you should work hard too.
So you make a lot like your seniors.
-Yes, boss! -Yes, boss!
-Keep eating. -Have a good night.
-Good night. -Please remember Hun!
LAWYER'S OFFICE, 2F
He's a nasty one.
Mr. Cheon, Mr. Sa, take a look at this.
There are lots of comments by victims.
There is this kind of fraud too. I would fall for this too.
Ah, if it's this bad, even I would fall for it.
Mr. Sa, you fell for it already.
This head of Yeongeun is worse than I thought.
This market is not the only one he has. He seems to be a middleman.
Hmm. Middleman for what?
I saw them preparing cash.
It's probably the bribe they were paying the head above.
Do whatever you can to make 100 million by tomorrow.
These aren't neighborhood bullies. They're a nationwide organization.
The leader of Yeongeun seems to be the head of the Seoul region.
Then what do we do?
If we betray him, he will cut off our fingers like…
Mr. Cheon, why don't we quit after getting my money back?
I don't want to.
Mr. Cheon.
You're no longer a prosecutor. What'll you do?
Mm, since I'm not a prosecutor,
I would have to call… a prosecutor.
-Hmm? -Hmm.
Yejin, aren't you going home?
Yeah, after I read this a little more.
I think Yeowon will be waiting.
Yeowon? She's okay. She's with her nanny.
From Yejin, to Yeowon.
From Minhyeok, to Yeowon.
-What is this? -You said tomorrow is Yeonwon's birthday.
Go home.
Go home already.
I will review this and take notes by tomorrow.
And you will read it tomorrow and make a decision.
Dismissed.
Thanks.
Everyone, stop what you're doing.
We have a deal that could make or break the fate of Yeongeun Market.
Who can make 100 million in 30 minutes with this?
Is there no one?
I can do it.
Newbie?
I will come back before this braised chicken cools.
Are you here for a used car?
A used car is a war of nerves. A used car is a war of nerves.
A used…
Min… Minhyeok?
Jihun?
Minhyeok, why are you here?
Me? I'm here to buy a car.
But what are you doing here?
Me? Here, a used car is a war of nerves…
It looks like he knows him.
Actually,
my office rent is quite overdue.
Every once in a while, I worked on the side at a dealer.
Really?
I thought I would meet someone I knew eventually,
but it's very embarrassing… now that I actually meet one.
What is there to be embarrassed about?
There's nothing embarrassing about working side jobs for money.
Hey, hurry up and show me the car. Where is it?
Let's go then. Over there.
When did you start working here?
It's been a while.
But that's not what's important.
What do you think?
Whoo!
I really like this one. I'll take it.
Okay, then let's sign--
What is this? Something was left out.
-Left out? -Yes.
This car apparently has a knocking in the engine.
Didn't you hear it?
I didn't hear anything.
Put your ear to the engine.
You can hear it, right?
There's a weird noise.
I know. Listen to it again.
Oh, my! There's a sound coming from the center.
That's right. That is exactly the spot, Minhyeok.
Darn it, where'd they get this car--
Okay, Minhyeok.
There is a nice car that is similar to this one.
How about looking at that one?
DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON
Whoa!
Minhyeok, this suits you so well.
This car has this thing right here.
These wings are its special point.
I agree.
It may not look like it, but I think it could fly.
Mm-hm.
If I didn't run into you here,
I could have bought the car that looks good on the outside,
but makes a weird sound.
If you did, you would've been lucky.
-Luck what? -Luck!
You would have been out of luck, silly.
Anyway, thanks. Thanks to you, I got a good car.
Don't work here for too long, even though you have overdue rent.
You should stick to your day job. Okay?
Thanks.
If I were to offer you some advice,
you should drive slow because…
you could take off!
Okay, thanks. I'm going. Keep working.
That's me.
-Drive slow! -Slowly.
Slowly!
You could take off! Bye…
Bye, Minhyeok.
Jihun.
Hey, newbie.
Here you go.
This guy is something else.
We filled the bribe quota, thanks to you.
Thank you.
Let's go!
Let's go, to get you guys.
-I bought the car. -Mm.
Do you know who I ran into?
-Who? -Cheon Jihun.
Oh.
I guess he's having a hard time. He was working as a salesman here.
Hi, Jihun.
Yejin, it's me. I wanted to discuss something with you.
No. It's something similar.
But it's very important.
Let me experiment with this and call you back.
Ooh.
This is the one.
Thanks to him, I got a good one.
-Ms. Na. -Did you find it?
We found it.
-Find what? -The money for your car.
Close the door.
The money for my car?
Good work, Minhyeok.
What did I do?
You did well.
Ms. Na.
Oh!
Let's go.
So, you're saying this red dot is those cars.
-Yes. -But why are we following them?
Be quiet.
-Catch up to them. -Okay.
Somebody tell me!
Be quiet!
UNDERGROUND PARKING
So, was all of this an operation?
Then why did you leave me out?
Your acting makes it too obvious.
-Who said that? -Someone.
It looks like all of our cars are in.
-What about backup? -Not yet.
These guys are always late.
Being late is the rule with them.
I will call them again.
Ha!
What are you doing?
The body remembers.
Yejin, stay here. Let's go.
Minhyeok.
We're storming them by ourselves?
There are 20 to 30 of them. How many do we have?
Four.
-Then what should we do? -We should wait.
Come back in here.
What did they say?
RESTRICTED AREA, STAFF ONLY
Let's use this.
This will do, right?
This will hold for a bit.
Do you think Mr. Cheon will be okay?
His fingers…
-That way. -Right.
-Good to see you, sir. -Good to see you, sir.
Hey, newbie.
I think we will be in first place, thanks to you.
Where did he go?
He was right here.
How unlucky.
I was going to introduce him to the chairman.
There's trouble!
The police are here!
-Hurry! -Get in the car!
-This way! -Hurry!
-Move! -Get him in the car!
What is that? Honk the horns!
EXIT
Jihun, move the car. The police are here!
Geumsik! I bought a used car yesterday. But I think I got swindled.
-The car isn't moving! -You drove it just now.
But not anymore.
What are you saying? Get out.
-The door doesn't open! -Hey, newbie.
What are you doing right now?
Boss, I think I was swindled on a used car.
The car is not moving!
You jerk, move the car!
Yes, you jerk!
Had you sold me a decent car, it wouldn't have stalled
and blocked your path,
you… crook!
Not you, boss.
Get out.
Stupid bastard.
Get out--
The window works!
The window works.
Only the window works.
-Hey. Smash the car. -Smash it!
Everybody, smash the car!
Jihun!
Don't look back and go!
Hurry up and leave.
Jihun, you're not here. Where have you gone?
This way, sir.
RESTRICTED AREA
Are you the Car King?
And this is the record book for bribes.
Minhyeok, what are you doing?
-Run! -Get out of here!
JEIL LAUNDRY
Sing Sing gives me peace of mind. It's the best.
The best? I thought you wanted to get a new car. Not anymore?
Sing Sing may hear you.
Mr. Sa, I think the air conditioner broke in the past few days.
How about getting a new car?
Were you hot, Ms. Baek? You should have said so.
There. How is it? Isn't it cool?
The air is colder these days.
You could get a cold with the air conditioner on.
At least, the windows are automatic.
Mr. Cheon, tilt the rearview mirror in.
Like this?
A little more, a little more. Okay.
-I can see much better. -Okay.
I feel good. Should we have some pork belly?
Pork belly is very good. Pork--
Wait a minute. Ms. Baek said she doesn't like pork belly a while ago.
Ms. Baek.
How about tripe?
Tripe? I like tripe…
Mr. Sa, how about tripe?
Tripe, okay.
Okay. Let's go have a tripe!
Let's go. I like tripe.
I like tripe!
Tripe is good.
JEIL LAUNDRY
-I like tripe. -I like tripe.
-Hi. -You're back.
You guys have to try this.
What is this?
The young man at the store gave it to me.
He says it's good for your joints.
What is it?
Here you go.
-You too. -Yes.
Recently, the apartment has been sold at 1.99 billion won…
But don't you have to have these on a regular basis to see the effect?
Give me a few more.
Buy them yourself.
You're so stingy. Being stingy with food hurts the most.
A used car scammer group that post fake ads on the internet
and lured customers to kidnap, threaten, and forced them…
What a bad guy.
…to buy cars at a high price were caught today.
The joint investigation team of prosecutors Na Yejin and Seo Minhyeok…
Are they filming?
…at Seoul District Prosecutors' Office has revealed the fraudulent tactics
and urged citizens to pay special attention to buying used cars…
Those crooks have to be completely eliminated.
Nothing changes by swearing at them. The law has to change.
Mr. Cheon said,
the law of this country doesn't save someone who had been swindled.
So it's important not to be swindled. You got that?
-A thorough research using the vehicle -Mm.
identification number is important.
The reason an investigation body exists…
I don't know whose son that is, but he is very handsome.
…to protect the vulnerable…
Minhyeok is pretty good now.
He's a good fit for Mari.
What?
Right. What I meant was,
Mari is a good fit for a lawyer.
And Minhyeok was meant to be a prosecutor, something like that.
-Here. Thank you. -Yes, cheers.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
This place is perfect for an office dinner.
-Let's come every so often, Mr. Cheon. -Yes. Let's come often.
Yes, that's it.
Mmm.
-What are you doing? -I forgot.
Didn't we come here because Ms. Baek likes tripe?
-Yes. -I'm sorry. It slipped my mind.
What are you doing, Mr. Sa?
It looked so juicy and chewy,
I couldn't help myself.
Even if you were, it was Ms. Baek's piece!
Ms. Baek, don't be mad.
Here. Take this piece.
Dip it in the sauce… The corner is uncooked.
Mmm.
-You like tripe? -I like tripe.
We like tripe!
-We like tripe! -Yeah!
Oh.
Is it good?
In breaking news,
President Kim Sungho of K-Man Fund, who was in hiding,
will appear at the Prosecution today.
Seoul District Prosecution's Financial Crimes Investigation Team…
JUNE 20 1:42 AM
The person you are calling is unavailable.
What is this? Who are you?
It's me.
You…
I win again.
Too bad.
-It's my turn. -Let's go.
Darn.
LAWYER'S OFFICE
YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE
-Are you comfortable? -Are you busy?
-When will be here? -Oh.
Hey. Mr. Cheon.
Our hope, the pride of Pungjin-dong, Attorney Cheon Jihun.
You've come at last.
What's with you?
Mari says,
he is draped head-to-toe in luxury brands.
-Mr. Cheon is here. -He is being a little picky.
Is that right?
Well, hello.
