You jerk.
-Oh, no! -Boss!
If you take one more step…
-your boss will fall. -Don't move, you dimwits.
Just stay still.
Everyone, stay still.
Babel E&C bought this building through an illegal means.
Unless you want to die, pull me up.
Now!
I'll get this building back no matter what.
And I will make all of you pay for what you did.
This building belongs to me.
That was Italian, right? What did he say?
-What? -What did he say?
He said…
È mio!
Take your men and get lost. Then, I'll help you back up.
I'll get lost. Help me up.
-What? -I'll leave, so help me up.
-Promise me. -Seriously. I promise.
Do I really need to?
Okay. I can't straighten my finger.
-This hurts. Oh, my finger. -Stamp it.
You cruel bastard.
Come on. I stamped it.
Help me up. Hurry.
Go on. Help him.
Bring me up! Hurry up!
Boss!
Be careful.
-Goodness! -It hurts!
-Boss, are you okay? -Hey!
Boss, are you all right?
Oh, no! You're bleeding!
This could leave a scar.
This could leave a scar. Damn it.
-Kill that bastard. -Grab your weapons.
I know you're a lowlife punk,
but aren't you breaking your promise way too soon?
Let's go!
Hey! Stop it! Stop right there.
-What? -Seriously?
Mr. Park, you should leave.
There are reporters outside.
Reporters? Why?
How should I know?
All right.
-Let's quickly disperse. -Leave.
-What? -Get lost.
Hey. Hey!
Stay right there.
I'll hang you from this very plaza soon.
Damn it!
Damn it, this scar!
-Goodness. -Those bastards.
What was that?
We should talk.
Gosh.
Didn't I tell you not to fool around?
I wasn't fooling around.
I told you Mr. Cho was threatened to sign the contract.
"Threatened"? Gosh.
That was quite a stunt you put up there.
You guys are amazing.
Why are you so childish?
Why won't you…
Why won't he trust me?
Seeing how you're speaking Italian, you must feel guilty.
Shut up!
It sounds like you're cursing.
Think about it.
Why would I still be here if I sold this building?
I'd take the money and go abroad.
-That's true. -Be quiet!
Go back to your country and stop inconveniencing us.
Babel E&C, Babel Pharmaceuticals, and Law Firm Wusang
are all garbage.
Leave. All of you.
Somehow, I got caught in the crossfire. Unbelievable.
I don't expect you to believe me.
I'm going to get this building back.
That's impossible.
The contract has been signed already.
How may I help you?
I'm a reporter from HBN.
I'd like to meet with…
Mr. Vincenzo Cassano. He gave us the tip. Is he here?
He called you here?
Sir.
What a surprise. You even called the reporters.
EPISODE 2
However, there's something I just can't wrap my head around.
Why would you get worked up over this even more so than your client?
The building was sold at a high price,
so you'll be getting a hefty sum.
Putting aside the money, wouldn't this upset anyone?
Not at all.
Lawyers don't usually involve themselves in matters like these.
European lawyers are quite strict about these things.
What are you trying to say?
My experience tells me that there's more to this.
A reason enough to make them act this way.
So…
What could that be?
Beats me.
But it must be something that's more valuable than the building.
I saw this coming.
Those show-offs in flashy suits
are all the same.
Six days is nowhere enough.
I ought to put him in a guillotine choke for 11 days straight.
Can you please sit down and talk?
Sit down.
He robbed us blind, didn't he?
I said we shouldn't trust him
and his good looks!
I knew it when he badmouthed my food.
It's obvious that I'm older than him,
but he spoke casually to me.
This Booralro or Vincenzo guy is more heinous than the building owner.
You're right. He totally deceived us.
Should I go teach him a lesson?
How about I slam that face of his on the ground?
Should I fling him to the ground?
Gosh.
I get that you're upset, but you shouldn't hurt his face.
You should stop high-fiving the ground whenever you're drunk.
Why are we always the ones to get robbed blind?
We're not that stupid.
But we're not that smart, either.
You still don't know the times table.
I can't believe you.
I even got a new stamp to seal the agreement.
Aren't Italian men supposed to be gentlemen?
Not at all. They slack off and are terrific liars.
They distract people with their hand gestures.
-What should we do? -You can…
You can just move to another temple.
Not at all. We will stay by your side until the end.
I'll need to verify whether he has truly deceived us or not.
Look what happened. What's the point of that?
We already lost our building.
He was the one who called the reporters.
What's his plan? Why is he confusing us?
I'll make a thorough evaluation
on whether he's on our side or not.
Higher.
Okay, get ready.
Good.
-Four. Turn your waist. One, two, three. -That's it.
All right. Two.
PROSECUTOR CHOI MYUNG-HEE
Our dear Deputy Minister Lee Nam-su.
All right.
So…
Just say that you, Minister Park Dae-jin,
and President Kim Song-hyeon of JT Investment…
The three of you had some sushi
at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong. That's all I need from you.
What kind of story will you concoct with the reporters
this time around?
Gosh. That's hurtful to hear.
I'm here to protect you.
I'm not going to reveal this to the public or call any reporters.
You're planning to use JT Investment to get to the top.
-I can't let you do that. -Sir.
Do you know what my specialty is?
I can turn the most heartfelt stories into the most heinous ones.
Is that so?
You don't believe me.
Minister Kim Ui-pyeong from Cheongbaek-ri
who had 1,07 billion won in debt and no house to his name.
Who do you think accused him
of illegally accumulating two billion won and made him end up
-killing himself? -Look here, Ms. Choi!
Sir, you see,
I'm the person who can find faults in the most innocent people.
Wait and see.
I'm sorry, sir.
Don't say that.
I'm glad your family's safe.
The plaza…
The plaza building.
If Babel E&C demolishes it, they'll find out.
You have to demolish it before they do.
But there's more.
That secret room comes with a special feature.
3 YEARS AGO
What is it?
It has to do with the structure of the room.
The room will be touching the building's columns and the beams
and will be equipped with a device that amplifies impact.
When the room is put under a considerable impact,
the impact will cause the columns and the beams to crack,
and the building will collapse.
If anyone tries to break in to steal the gold,
the building itself
will be their graveyard.
And there is one more important thing.
You must get rid of everyone
who has built that room or is aware of its existence.
Except for Mr. Cho and me, of course.
For anyone apart from you to get that gold,
the building…
will have to be demolished.
The family will gift you the blueprint
as proof of our friendship.
1 YEAR AGO
WANG SHAOLIN, A CHINESE TYCOON, DIES OF CARDIAC ARREST AFTER A SWIM
Does his family know about the secret room?
10 MONTHS AGO
No. It's just the three of us who know.
Given his nature, I'm certain he didn't tell anyone.
Mr. Cho.
Care to make some retirement money with me?
3 MONTHS AGO
Babel E&C has begun purchasing the shops and residences around the area.
They also contacted me. What should I do?
Tell them that you're going to rebuild it.
We only need two days after the construction begins.
Two days to move the gold.
NANYAK TEMPLE
I need to kick them out and demolish this building.
I have to retrieve the gold.
When should I tell the workers to come?
Please tell your friend to come three days later.
That'll do.
Okay. I got it.
Are you going to fix something in there?
Yes. We're going to fix the boiler.
By the way, why are you here?
I liked this text.
I see.
"Do not expect to get rich through illegal means."
Yes, you shouldn't do that.
Sir.
"Don't be greedy for wealth or land.
Do what's right."
-Let's go inside. -Thank you.
Praying on the cold floor
-gave me hemorrhoids. -Oh, dear.
I know.
That sharp and heavy pain…
Let's install a boiler this weekend.
No!
I mean…
Why waste money
when they'll be demolishing this place anyway?
I'll buy you an electric pad that can cover this size
-and pay for the electricity. -That's okay. Don't worry about it.
I said no!
Sir.
Please don't refuse my goodwill.
I'd like to show my appreciation for you all.
He must've felt Buddha's presence from beneath again.
I see.
-Gosh. -Are you okay?
-Gosh. -Okay.
The witness of the recording confessed to perjury.
Even if the second trial takes place,
it'll be dismissed due to lack of evidence.
-It's over then. -Yes.
My dad has no more cards up his sleeve.
Yu-chan must be getting old.
He's out of moves.
-Good luck wrapping things up. -Yes, sir.
Cha-young!
You startled me! You…
Damn it. Gosh.
You have no class and no manners.
Look at you wearing sneakers at work.
Why did you pick him of all people?
It was you who picked me, sir.
I did?
I should quit drinking.
Cha-young.
Quiet down.
Cha-young. You see…
What? What is it?
Babel Pharmaceutical's Drug Development Division called.
Qua… What was it?
-Quarantine? -Right! One of its researchers
who was quarantined went missing.
What?
The Italian Intelligence Service sent this.
Okay.
DIRECTOR TAE JONG-GU
After their boss died, Vincenzo Cassano,
the successor in line, was targeted by the mob.
I believe…
I believe he fled here to avoid getting killed.
What does a member of the Mafia coming to Korea
have to do with our security?
What do you mean?
The most wicked gang in the world advanced into--
"Advanced"? Is that what you think this is?
Then, if two of them flew in, it might as well be an invasion.
What if Vincenzo creates a new gang in Korea?
He needs money to do that.
How much could he have brought before fleeing?
He could have secretly stashed a fortune in Korea.
Why would a member of the Mafia hide money here?
There are plenty of places better suited for that.
Please authorize this mission first.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
You'd better not spend any of our money.
For every 10 won, I'll deduct 100,000 won.
-Sir! -Enough!
What was that? Yes. Go help the yakuza division.
A yakuza breaded himself with a stab knife yesterday…
No. He stabbed the bread with a knife…
Damn it. I can't even say it right.
Get out!
But they're the Mafia.
Like the movie, The Godfather.
Hey.
SHINKWANG BANK 1,198,345 WON
This is enough.
Just you wait, Vincenzo Cassano.
I'll pay for the mission out of my own pocket.

It's okay.
It's all right. I can do it.
O sole mio
REMAINING BALANCE
You said that you told the truth for the victims of Babel.
-Was everything a lie? -Yes. I'm sorry.
Why did you lie?
-I told you that you would regret it -I'm sorry.
one day.
I felt guilty.
-You sold your conscience for money -Any words to the victims?
and broke the hearts of the bereaved.
I'm sorry for causing confusion.
I'm truly sorry to everyone that I've hurt. I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
Getting rid of the Babel lawsuit documents.
It's really over now.
Don't be absurd.
-It's not over-- -Until it's over?
-But it is really over now. -We still have hope.
Trials are full of twists and turns.
And they always work against us.
Maybe not this time around.
-God help us. -Oh, God.
You little…
Back for more tricks, are you?
I have a favor.
Please share with me the documents you have on Babel E&C.
What for?
I see.
You want to study your enemy before defeating them?
Gosh.
Are you still pulling this stunt?
Yes.
I will blow both you and the tenants away with this stunt.
You should leave.
The one who helps out the losing team in a war isn't an enemy but--
An ally. Right?
You little…
That ally…
Sir.
There are things that can only be verified through trust.
If you want to win,
give me a chance instead of doubting me.
-Ju-sung. -Yes?
Hand him all the documents
-we have on Babel E&C. -Yes, sir.
It's been two days. Why didn't you tell us sooner?
Look at her.
I'm sorry.
Seriously.
I told you to keep a close eye on all the newly employed researchers.
I didn't want them to complain,
so I got them to stay at the chairman's villa.
If that researcher
talks nonsense, we'll lose this suit.
And It'll be the end for that new drug as well!
I'm truly sorry.
Do the higher-ups know?
No, ma'am. They don't.
Let's keep it that way.
Don't you dare tell them.
Okay.
This is driving me nuts.
No matter how hard we cover it up,
one whistleblower will end everything.
-What if they go to your dad? -Gosh!
I didn't say it out loud because I didn't want to jinx it.
Sorry, Cha-young.
They can go to the police, the prosecution, or the reporters.
Just not my dad.
Seeing how we haven't heard anything, I don't think they're there yet.
If they knew anything,
they wouldn't go to an incompetent lawyer.
Who is that?
-Chairman Jang Han-seo of Babel. -What?
Hello, sir.
Who are you?
I'm Lawyer Hong Cha-young from Law Firm Wusang,
in charge of the Babel lawsuit.
I heard about you. Didn't she ask to borrow my villa?
That's right. I had to because it was the safest place.
It's fine. I rarely go there. Tell me if you need anything.
I don't like things dragging on, so cut it short.
Yes, sir.
I get that he's a chairman, but how can he talk down to us on our first encounter?
And he's young too.
Anyone who's rich and powerful
can do so even if they're younger than me.
-I see. -Hold on.
Thanks to you, I have a bad feeling.
I'm going home.
Already?
Want some steak? I got paid yesterday.
No, thanks. I have somewhere to go.
She always leaves without me.
Cha-young! Your car's over there!
The other way!
LAWYER HONG YU-CHAN
BABEL PHARMACEUTICALS SUED AFTER TEST SUBJECT DIES
Mr. Nam.
May I see the documents regarding the lawsuit, please?
-Why? -I'm just curious.
Well…
I need his permission.
Hand them over to him.
Every single one of them.
Yes, sir.
Here are your documents.
You did well dealing with Lee Nam-su.
Good work.
He was quick-witted, so we could wrap it up quickly.
-Who's next? -That's it for now.
He's going to hand it over to Prosecutor Seo U-yeong.
Prosecutor Seo U-yeong?
Mr. Seo.
This isn't your nephew's specialty.
All the more reason to hire him. That's how he'll learn.
Also, there's something you must do right now.
It's about my colleague, Chief Kim Won-u's scandal.
Can you wrap that up for us?
The sexually assaulted victim testified against him.
Another woman who was at the scene also testified,
and the footage of the villa was found, which is more than enough evidence.
Exactly. That's why I want you to touch it up, so it looks less serious.
This matter doesn't only pertain to Mr. Kim.
The honor of our office is at stake.
Sir, let me pour you a glass.
Damn it.
JIPURAGI LAW FIRM
How many times has it been just today?
How do I sound him out?
Cha-young, you can do it.
LAWYER HONG YU-CHAN
He's sleeping soundly.
I guess there's nothing going on.
BABEL E&C, BABEL PHARMACEUTICALS
What are you doing?
Why are you back?
-Answer me. -Did you see my wallet?
I lost it.
It's not here.
I cleaned the entire office today.
Where could it be?
I can guarantee that it's not here.
Why is he reading these?
Because he wanted to.
"Know your enemy if you want to beat them."
What?
Babel Group is…
Would you mind me being vulgar?
Knock yourself out.
They're assholes.
"Assholes"?
They do everything the yakuza and the Mafia do.
Everyone knows that.
But some lawyers help them stay out of jail.
Mr. "Vincenzo Quassano."
Why are you doing this?
They're really out of line.
They're just like the Mafia.
And Law Firm Wusang, their partner, is no exception.
To be clear,
Law Firm Wusang is a parasite that mooches off those assholes.
Correct.
Assholes like them should be made to pay.
"Pay". I like the sound of that.
They ought to.
You guys click very well.
How about you two start streaming online?
Call it, "Hong-Vin TV," or "Hong-Qua TV."
That sounds nice.
I should get going now.
I'll be glad to help if you need anything else.
-Do you have more? -Yes, we do. We have plenty.
No, thank you. This will suffice.
Sir. Your tie.
Thank you.
-Goodbye. -Thank you for your help.
Goodness, look at her.
Was this your plan B?
Provoking my dad to continue fighting against Babel
while you make a profit off the lawsuit?
Am I right?
I'm going to eat. Please leave.
Unfortunately, we're closed for the day
since we ran out of ingredients.
You can go to Yeongho Snack Bar.
They have the best tteokbokki in this neighborhood.
YEONGHO SNACK BAR
Welcome.
I won't sell anything to you.
-But I want to eat. -I said no food for you.
Then, I'll buy it.
I never said you could sit there.
Do you not want to eat?
Sit down.
-What do you want? -Take your pick.
Tteokbokki
Flour rice cakes, traditional gochujang, and a bit of artificial--
Two servings of tteokbokki.
You're pretty basic.
"Basic"?
You know "asshole" but not "basic"?
It means "common."
Let's make this clear.
I have no reason to provoke your dad. I'm preparing myself for war.
Your enemy has tanks and armored vehicles.
What use would 200 stones be?
Do you think that's all I have?
Yes. The weak usually resort to throwing stones or butting heads
when they are out of options.
I didn't think of head-butting.
Go back to Italy and fight against those you're used to.
This country doesn't suit you.
Why not?
In Italy, only the Mafia perform such heinous deeds.
But everyone here runs their own gangs and cartels.
The National Assembly, prosecution, police, public offices, and companies.
All of them.
It doesn't matter who you're up against.
It'll be a grueling ordeal for you.
Why?
Because that's Korea.
-Thanks for the advice. -Your tteokbokki is ready.
May I have a glass of water?
You can get it yourself.
That is a water filter dispenser.
-Let's eat. -Thank…
Happiness isn't far away.
-Do you like it? -Yes!
I'm home. I'm hungry.
What are you doing?
What?
Didn't I tell you not to smoke?
I didn't. I was just standing next to them.
I told you I'd give you a good beating if you lied.
Snap out of it! Don't hit your son!
If you don't want to die, put your guard up.
Mom! Come on, it hurts.
One, two.
You little brat!
Does she have a black belt?
Goodness.
Oh, dear.
You want me to cover for a filthy bastard and take all the blame?
Let's go.
I'll destroy each and every last one of you, you assholes.
Hello, there!
I'll just cut to the chase.
Ms. Choi. I mean, Myung-hee.
Hey.
Join my law firm. Okay?
You impudent brat. Explain yourself.
Prosecutor General Hwang and Mr. Seo.
Everyone knows they're trying to form a cartel of sorts
at the Namdongbu Prosecutors' Office.
One that's impenetrable by even the Reform Committee.
Do you think they'll let you in? No way!
They'll use and discard you like they did today.
Enough already.
Just drink up and stop nagging me.
I'm not nagging.
If you join us,
I'll let you bring down that prosecution.
Have you gone insane?
You know I'm helping out Babel Group, right?
They'll back us up no matter what.
They are just a company.
In three years, they'll be one of the twenty richest companies.
Their drugs are second to none.
Also, their chairman has a few loose screws and is easy to handle.
You must have a good reason to be cleaning up after their messes.
Exactly.
Even though I'm cleaning up their shit,
I keep getting richer.
Unbelievable.
So you want us to act like their bidets?
I'll do all the trivial work.
You just need to leave them a solid impression.
Have you been working as a salesman instead?
Just choose me like you choose your clothes.
I heard it takes you ten minutes to shop for clothes.
The alcohol is getting the better of me.
Exactly how crazy is this chairman?
It's all my fault.
I should've kept an eye on the researchers, but I failed.
I'll take care of it as soon as…
I'm sorry for the delay in the Babel Tower construction.
There were issues with the building owner.
I'll also take care of…
I promise
to be more thorough from now on.
I promise I won't disappoint you again.
Please give me one more chance.
I promise I'll do better.
Look at me.
Don't tell me you've already run out of ingredients.
No.
If it wasn't Italy, where did you learn to cook?
Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province.
At a place called Mom's Touch Cooking Academy.
"Mom's Touch"?
Serve me food until I can finally get a taste of a mom's touch.
But I'm not a mom.
If not, then I'll have no choice but to expose you.
-Sorry? -Risotto allo zafferano.
Saffron risotto.
Okay. I'll get it ready.
It tastes like vomited baby food…
How should I put it?
Yes. And it's been mixed in wine and broth.
You have a knack for making awful food.
If you look over here…
-Sir. -Yes?
We need to go somewhere.
Where?
They won't see you without an appointment.
-Let's ask. -What?
How may I help you?
I'm here to see Mr. Na Deok-jin of Investment and Development.
-Have you called beforehand? -No.
I'm afraid you can't meet him.
BILL OF INDICTMENT
Tell him he has a bill of indictment for threatening and abetting an abduction.
When did you get that?
Gosh, this is unbelievable.
Let me see the bill. Let's read it.
BILL OF INDICTMENT
THREAT AND ABETTING AN ABDUCTION
It's empty.
I lied, so we could meet.
We've paid you enough already. Why…
-But why are you so clingy? -We're not clingy.
We just want to correct what's wrong.
Sure. Then, feel free to sue or report me.
Do as you please.
Or demonstrate in front of the Blue House
-and shave your head. -No.
I thought I'd do the same as you did.
We'll kidnap your family
and force you to cancel the contract.
Are you a die-hard fan of The Godfather?
Are you mimicking the Mafia
since you're from Italy?
I'm glad you asked.
If we were in Italy,
you would've become a fertilizer for the vineyards.
You would have become some cheap wine being sold on a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
I'm not here to negotiate but to warn you.
We're not going to take it anymore.
Okay.
Was that how you did things in Italy?
At times.
I loved what you said.
"Vineyard fertilizer. Buy-one-get-one-free."
"Hey.
You're buy-two-get-one-free."
I should use it sometime.
Let's eat. It's on me. Two meals for the price of one.
RESIGNATION LETTER
Some company must've given you an offer.
Law Firm Wusang? Wintis?
-Ko and Gu? -No.
I just want to rest.
Don't sugarcoat it.
What's the real reason?
I just…
I'm sick of being your hound.
That's a bit harsh.
I'm sorry to break it to you,
but wherever you go, you'll always be a hound on a leash.
Probably.
However,
my leash will probably be longer.
And they'll feed me better.
Goodbye, guys.
Where do you think you're going?
Hey, Ms. Choi. Hey!
PROSECUTOR CHOI MYUNG-HEE
Prosecutor or not, I'm going to destroy all of you before I leave.
What's with the meeting?
This way, please.
You splurged, didn't you?
Isn't that Prosecutor Choi?
Sit down.
I'm sorry to gather you all so suddenly.
We have an important guest.
I'm sure you all know her. It's Prosecutor Choi Myung-hee.
From this day on,
she will be a senior lawyer at Wusang.
Soon, she will represent us on my behalf.
I knew you'd be happy.
Wusang will be invincible.
Please say a word or two.
I have two things to say. Number one.
One who achieves small victories will eventually achieve big ones.
Number two. I beg you.
Let's not work hard if it can't be appreciated. That's all.
Clap, will you?
Look at her acting all tough from the get-go.
She just got here. How could she represent our law firm?
She's a mere rookie.
Well, she was the best prospector there.
Ms. Hong should be the one to represent us.
She achieved the most out of all of us.
You're not consoling or bashing me. What is this?
Bash you?
We're just upset by the unfair treatment.
But I can see you grinning.
She's so quick to notice.
How did she know we were happy?
I knew it ever since he deducted the withholding taxes.
Gosh.
I get you,
but you don't have soul.
You look more like a patient than a zombie.
I could do just as much.
Like this.
You're so good. I can do it too.
I'm a pretty zombie.
-Goodness, you're terrifying. -Go away.
-That's not how you do it. -Try that again, Larry.
Not like this. Do this.
That's it.
No, try harder. Put your back into it.
That's it.
-Goodness. -Wait.
I heard some gagging noises.
What were you doing?
I was chosen to coach the zombies
for the upcoming Train to Ulsan Part Two. I was practicing.
We were helping him out.
I see.
Yes.
Good luck.
Let's go.
Okay.
Darn it.
-How humiliating. -Oh, no.
His cold gaze.
He probably saw the roof of my mouth.
What should I do?
Let us know if you need extras for the movie.
I'll do my best.
Me, too. I'm serious.
-No, you can't. -Please.
No, I need to ask them for permission.
From what I've seen of Babel E&C,
they forcibly evict the residents one week after the notice.
Yes, they've always done that.
They demolish the non-residential areas
and instill fear in the remaining residents.
It's downright illegal, but Law Firm Wusang has their back.
Isn't there a law that protects the tenants?
I heard they need to pay a premium compensation to the tenants
and negotiate the demolition date with an officer.
That's what I read.
You've studied a lot.
They were being too ridiculous that I had to read up on it.
I see.
Those rules exist, but they force the tenants out with a small sum.
People get hurt or die too.
They'll probably carry out the eviction suit first.
We should get ready.
Isn't the biggest issue here
the forced illegal demolition?
Yes.
They'll make a move in a day or two.
But there's nothing we can do.
Gosh.
Here. Do you want one?
-No, thank you. -Then, why…
Do you drink?
You've never makgeolli before?
-No. -I see.
It only gives a mild hangover, so drink up.
Here. Bottoms up.
Here you go.
I can finally taste it now that I've had my second glass.
In that case, drink up.
Here you go.
Cheers.
By the way, should I congratulate you for diving headfirst into hell?
I'm fighting against Babel because I'm stupid.
But not you.
By the way,
are you also a public defender?
I am. For one person.
I truly pity her.
She was falsely charged with murder.
And yet, she accepted it
and made peace with her pancreatic cancer.
Why
would she do that?
She believes she's being punished for abandoning her son in the past.
She says feeling guilty isn't enough.
There are people who readily accept their punishment.
And there are those who are shameless even after committing crimes.
In any case,
only the kindhearted and the weak suffer.
I know you won't get it.
For the past two days,
I experienced firsthand
how the weak suffered.
I couldn't do anything.
So I became even more furious.
Those who are truly weak endure the feeling of helplessness and rage
until the day they die.
I have a question.
What's the story behind your law firm's name?
I don't defend my clients.
I become their last straw, a jipuragi.
When they don't have anyone to lean on,
they can still grab onto me.
I am their last straw.
Excuse me.
Hello, Hong Yu-chan speaking.
Hello, I'm listening.
Hello?
LAWYER HONG YU-CHAN
Was that a prank call?
I heard this is how you pour drinks here.
You seem quite genuine today.
Or have I become dull?
-Cheers. -Cheers.
You need to turn around and drink.
Yes.
Just turn halfway.
Halfway.
We've pretty much won the Babel Pharmaceuticals case.
Ms. Hong just needs to finish up.
Babel E&C is the problem here.
We need to demolish a plaza in Geumga-dong.
Brace yourselves.
Why do they need to brace themselves?
It's quite sly.
Demolishing it right away would be illegal,
so we bring in heavy equipment for a so-called cleanup
and accidentally damage the building.
The tenants move out in fear,
and Babel claims it's a mistake.
The building becomes vacant in a few days.
Legal or not, we'll get the job done
because they trust us.
Lawyers are better than prosecutors at making people shit their pants.
Such assholes.
She says that all the time.
And…
Oh, dear.
Your dad is once again leading the Development Opposition Committee.
What a fun life he's living.
Shouldn't we estimate the scale of damage?
Thankfully, it'll be smaller than the redevelopment in Yucheon-dong.
I believe four people still died there.
That's not bad.
Twelve people died during Yonghu-dong's redevelopment.
It's fine. They'll crawl out when push comes to shove.
Right. Don't forget your dad.
Let's see.
I heard that they're demolishing it.
They're so cruel. There are people--
It's not cruel!
It wouldn't be so cruel if they moved out willingly.
What's with those people? How can they be so dense?
It's easier said than done.
Their lawyer is the one who's the worst.
If he's a lawyer, he should be more levelheaded.
Hello.
Doesn't it feel like your head's been split open?
Mine's already smashed.
Yes. I'm having a pretty bad hangover.
Come over. Let's eat something.
I'll text you my address.
But I…
Come in.
It's a mess, isn't it?
The soup just needs to boil, so please sit down.
There's nothing worth looking at.
All right.
You must have another daughter.
What? No.
That's Cha-young.
What?
I see.
Hello, Chairman Jang.
They've informed me that they're ready for the demolition.
We'll be ready by tomorrow as well.
Yes, sir.
Don't worry.
This is our job.
I believe they'll start working around 11 p.m. tomorrow.
Yes, sir. Goodbye.
Cha-young!
-What is it this time? -They're--
What? What is it?
Tomorrow at 11 p.m.
That's when they'll demolish the building.
I heard Mr. Han speaking with that impudent chairman.
They're ready, and they'll do it tomorrow.
What?
How is it? Don't you feel so much better?
-Right? -Yes.
I make the best--
Can you please pick up?
I called you more than 30 times.
You're so noisy.
What is it this time?
Why do you still have these hanging?
You're going to donate them?
Eat while you're here. Come.
There's a serious problem.
-This isn't a time to be eating. -What is it?
Hello, Hong Yu-chan speaking.
See? You screen my calls.
-Why do you ignore my calls? Why? -Sorry?
I see. One moment, please.
Hang on.
I'd like to tell you about what they did to their test subjects.
So there were problems, weren't there?
Yes. I can't tell you the details over the phone.
I'd like to meet soon.
Of course.
Go ahead.
All right.
I'll head over there right now. Goodbye.
Babel E&C is--
This is urgent. Speak with him, okay?
Dad! Mr. Hong!
What is it?
They'll demolish the building at 11 p.m. tomorrow.
Evacuate the tenants right now.
They say they'll avoid the residential area,
but who knows what'll happen?
I've only met you three days ago,
but this is the first time you seem worried.
I'm worried about none other than myself.
If my dad gets hurt during the demolition,
it'll do me no good.
Think about it. What will my colleagues think of me?
I see.
What is this place? A crime scene?
Darn it. You're done, right?
Unbelievable.
I told him many times not to pile up the dirty dishes.
MOTEL
Hello, Mr. Yu Min-chul.
They'll demolish the building at 11 p.m. tomorrow.
Evacuate the tenants right now.
How can I stop them?
How?
What?
Tonight?
Yes, at 11 p.m.
How could you tell us now?
-You're unbelievable. -When they come,
I could grab and nail them to the ground.
Since I know martial arts,
I'm afraid I might kill them.
Nail them, my foot.
We should evacuate. Do you want to die?
Goodness. Babel, those assholes.
I hope they all go under!
Is there a solution?
Mr. Hong is busily--
Busily doing what?
Tell us.
I didn't see him all day.
This is where we live and work.
If we evacuate, we'll be leaving behind everything.
I bought all my utensils new last month.
Me too.
I got a loan two months ago and bought a new piano.
Mamma mia.
Mr. Cassano.
Say something, will you?
Goodness, that damn man.
What the hell is he doing?
Who cares? Let's go pack our things.
I'll protest outside and distract them.
What the hell are you doing?
Sir, you don't have time to be liking photos online.
-What? -What is he liking?
Come up with a solution, will you?
IMAGES MATCHING VINCENZO CASSANO SEARCHED ON 13:11
Isn't anyone in here?
Hold on.
Who locked the door?
Damn it. Hey, open up.
Vincenzo Cassano…
Vincenzo Cassano.
O sole mio
-Pack everything! -Goodness!
Hey…
Is that true?
Yes.
I called you yesterday, but you weren't picking up.
I'm sorry. Something urgent came up.
What time is it?
Let me think. What should I do?
What should I do?
ATTORNEY HONG CHA-YOUNG
I'll call you back.
Nothing is easy these days.
Everything requires so much work. It's such a headache.
All notable paintings have several layers of paint.
But then again, it's our job to paint over without leaving a trace.
-When will I get to see the chairman? -Right.
In two days.
He has great expectations for you.
I need to see for myself how crazy he is.
Sir.
Why are you here?
I have something urgent to report.
What is it?
I caught wind of something at the Babel headquarters.
One of the researchers of Babel Pharmaceuticals
ran away during the quarantine.
What?
Damn it.
They've dropped a giant bomb on us.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Shouldn't you go?
There's nothing I can do.
Where are you, Dad?
Why are you still there?
Don't worry. I won't die.
Cut that nonsense and get out of there.
I'm turning my phone off again. You're distracting me.
Dad!
Oh, come on!
Wait!
The stress is killing me.
-Hello, sir. -Hey!
Where are you?
I'm sorry, but I'm busy right now.
Come over here.
Okay.
All right.
Sir, we're ready.
All right! Let's go!
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Come on.
Damn it.
What is this?

OUTSTARGRAM
TRADITIONAL SICILIAN WINE PARTY FOR INSIDERS
Excuse me for a second, sir.
Hello, sir.
He's the owner of the shop next door.
I see.
Hello. Thank you for coming.
The spaghetti is good.
-Please escort them. -This way.
Have you grasped the core problem of this lawsuit?
Drugs? Cartels? Do you think this is some American TV show?
Stupid idiot.
Hey, it's Vincenzo!
They're not businessmen. They're monsters.
They couldn't care less about the lives of others.
Can you not represent Babel Pharmaceuticals?
That will be the end of you, you brat.
I will not cave in without a fight.
Why are you so reckless?
For me, running away isn't the coward's way out.
It's putting other people in danger.
Don't try anything funny.
You'll be dead if anything happens to me.
