We stall by faking a hostage situation for nine days,
then we'll be able to print the money and dig the escape route.
Once Moscow secures the escape route, I mean.
But I'm not sure if I'll be able to dig all of it in time by myself.
It's possible. The mercenaries will be digging from the outside as well.
And then? How will we move the money?
Four trillion won is a lot of cash.
We'll use the underground watercourse.
If we use rubber boats, two hours should be enough.
This is the end of the escape route.
A disguised truck will be waiting at the hideout.
Move the money onto the truck,
and we vanish.
But this isn't some magic trick.
The police on the outside will be bent on catching us.
That's why I chose the day of the Inter-Korean Summit to escape.
Exactly ten days into the heist, the Inter-Korean Summit will be held
at Hotel Peace near the hideout.
Does that mean there's going to be heavy security?
Yes.
Politicians of both North and South put everything on the line for this summit.
But by then, the people would find out that the real robbers
are them, not us.
And the area will be in chaos.
Are you ready?
No traces of weapons!
Punish those responsible!
THE HOUSE OF PAPER IS OURS
Punish those responsible!
-Punish those responsible! -Punish those responsible!
But Oslo's dead.
Helsinki!
No!
-Pull out your guns! -Fuck!
-Hurry! -Hurry up!
Here!
Here.
-Berlin! -Berlin!
Berlin!
Rio! Get it together!
We have to go!
Dad!
Hey, you sons of bitches!
No!
Dad…
Situation is taken care of.
No!
Rio.
Are you listening?
Yes.
You must all be taken aback.
The summit has been moved up.
This means that our escape plan has also been moved up.
We've already printed enough money,
but the escape route isn't completed yet.
Right. It's not going to work.
Can't we just hold out here a little longer?
No.
As soon as they sign at the summit, they'll break in
because they won't have to be concerned about the press anymore.
Everyone got it?
Tomorrow,
we're getting out of here.
We'll have to hurry.
We'll have to use the remaining hostages.
The escape route is the most urgent, so I'll send most of them there.
This is important, so inform Moscow too.
Will do.
Hey…
Tokyo, hold on.
So,
it's just the Professor's assumption that the summit will be moved up.
So?
Professor didn't expect communication
to shut down or that Oslo would die.
Think about it.
Isn't Professor making this fuss
because he didn't expect the summit to be moved up?
Professor is not a prophet.
He's our leader.
All right.
If that leader has something up his sleeve that the rest of us doesn't know about,
can we trust that?
You have no idea why Berlin, who's terminally ill, came here, do you?
It turns out he and Professor are brothers.
They made us hide our real names but hid the fact they're brothers.
Tokyo, you knew?
I just found out.
So, Berlin is from a North Korean concentration camp,
and Professor's a defector.
I don't know how grand their purpose is in all this,
but at least it's not about money.
Those two won't even care if they die doing this.
Just because someone risked their life for something
doesn't mean they're okay with dying.
It just means it's worth it, enough not to have regrets.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what that grand purpose is,
but I am not interested.
Rio.
Dad, where are you?
Dad…
Dad!
-Men who are strong, go with Helsinki. -Come this way.
Rio!
Rio, where are you?
Get Rio here! Quickly!
Rio, get over here now!
-Rio! -Jeez, what is it?
Rio! Hurry up, damn it!
Dad, are you okay?
What's going on?
Rio, what should we do?
Do something about it, damn it.
Get his clothes off.
-Go get the first aid kit! -Okay.
-Stop moving. -I'm okay.
-Be careful. -Careful.
Fuck! You bastards!
Hey, do something.
As we approached the final act,
unexpected events drove the situation to its worst.
Inside the Mint, Moscow was dying.
Hey, sir. Wake up!
Sir, are you okay?
He's badly injured.
And outside the Mint, Cha Moohyuk, who knew the location of the hideout,
was out of the Professor's hands.
TRUSTWORTHY POLICE SAFE COUNTRY
And the inspector found out about Professor's identity.
Professor's escape plan, which seemed so perfect,
was falling apart bit by bit.
They needed more people to print money,
so they convinced them by offering three billion each.
The director of the Mint fell for it too.
How they'll actually pay them--
The money is just bait.
Half of the hostages escaped,
and the rest wouldn't listen, so they must've just said that.
So, they're determined to hold out?
But the summit is in two days.
Can't we just force our way in?
Well, they did let a lot of the hostages go,
and some voluntarily stayed, so as of right now, we can't.
Public opinion is leaning in favor of them, so…
It's Song Jungho!
Again?
What is it this time?
Let's go.
Go down the stairs.
Stop.
We let the hostages go peacefully, as promised,
but you had snipers shoot at us.
Because of that, someone was injured!
This is ridiculous.
Tell them they took advantage of releasing the hostages,
and we just did our job.
If you had only released the hostages peacefully, as promised,
this wouldn't have happened!
I don't have time to argue with you!
We ask you to send in a medical team to treat a critical patient.
What should we do?
Tell him to send the injured person to us if they want treatment.
Send the injured person to us if you want treatment!
Those sons of bitches!
Let's go back in.
Back up slowly.
Will they send out the injured person?
Who knows?
It might be another game to buy time.
But what if it's a hostage who's injured?
It doesn't matter.
-Bring the car around! -Where are you going?
You wait here.
The floor Cha Moohyuk is on is heavily guarded by police.
It'll be impossible to get to him.
I'm not sure how much Cha Moohyuk knows,
but he knows the location of this place.
Our whole operation will be over if he tells the police.
He might not wake up for a few days.
We can't proceed with the operation with that kind of uncertainty.
Then…
what if we use the inspector?
No.
It's unlikely to work.
Why? It's the most certain card we have left.
Yes, Woojin.
Hi, are you at the café?
Yes. What's up?
Well, the thing is,
my colleague had an accident, so I was on my way to the hospital,
but my car suddenly won't start.
I'm near the café, so if you're not too busy…
Okay.
I'll be there soon. Hang on.
I did all I could.
What now?
Huh?
Damn it. We can't even get in touch with Professor at a time like this.
This is driving me crazy.
I know it's tough, but the operation should be our priority.
We have to do whatever it takes to escape before the summit ends.
That way, we can save Moscow,
and our operation will be successful too.
It's all over now.
What is?
Hey, let's be real.
Professor's operation
already fell apart.
That bastard. What the fuck is he going on about?
Hey, Berlin, why don't you tell them?
Fine, I'll tell them.
Professor is Berlin's brother.
He's from the North and pretended to be South Korean.
Getting public opinion on our side?
Making them see us as revolutionaries?
Was that really for our sake?
If not, then what was it for?
Revolution? Revenge?
Why the fuck should I care about that?
Those commie bastards might be okay with dying for that shit, but I'm not.
Isn't it the same for all of you?
Rio.
Hey, Helsinki. Oslo, who never talked back to Professor no matter what he said…
What happened to him?
Nairobi, you too.
Hey, you said you have to see your son.
Will you see him at your funeral?
Hey, you too, idiot!
If you want to save your father, send him out right now!
Getting treatment in jail is way better than dying.
I'm going to make it out of here with my share, even if it's small.
Don't blindly trust the Professor and get yourself killed.
Find your own way out.
-Fuck. -Rio!
Is what he said true?
It's true we hid the fact we're brothers,
but the rest is Rio's imagination.
Be honest with me!
Leaving on the day of the summit.
Is it really for the sake of escaping?
Helsinki.
Dad, you need to get up.
Get up. Let's get out of here.
I'm never going to leave.
There's no other way right now.
It's better than staying here just to die.
I'll die here if I have to.
I'm never going back to jail.
Dad, please. Just listen to me. Please!
Listen up, everyone.
You don't have time to waste here like this.
The tunnel needs to be dug out for you to escape or do anything.
There's not much left to dig.
I'll try to hang in here.
Moscow's right.
We only have a day left.
Then we'll find out if Professor spoke the truth, even if we don't want to.
Wouldn't it be better to do what we can than to stand around like this?
You go ahead now.
Okay.
Misun.
While I'm digging,
look after my old man for me.
Will you?
Helsinki.
Don't waste your fucking energy on useless shit, and come with me.
We must complete the route if we want to get out of here alive!
Hurry up, damn it!
I'll be here.
To be honest, Berlin and I were just as anxious as Rio.
All we could do was believe Professor's assumption would be right.
KIM SANGMAN APPROVAL RATINGS DROP
Next presidential election and the summit
are about to go down the drain, and you have a solution?
We'll push up the summit to tomorrow.
What are you talking about?
The summit isn't some joke.
-You can't just change-- -No.
It makes sense.
We're so flustered now because we're so worried
things might go wrong before it's signed?
To be honest, all the negotiations have been settled.
All we have to do is sign it.
It's only a day early.
If we sign an additional four trillion in corporate bailouts
to North Korean companies--
Then we can force our way into the Mint regardless of public opinion.
Because of the current unfortunate incident happening at the Mint,
public anxiety is on the rise.
We were all shaken because we had lost all communication
and had no way of knowing.
Therefore, the North and South governments
agreed to hold the summit as soon as possible.
And after much consideration,
we decided to move up
the summit by a day.
I'd like to hear more from you about what the robbers exposed the other day.
Does this have anything to do with the robbers?
Congressman!
Hurry, get in.
My car keys weren't where I usually keep them, so I was looking for a while.
No wonder.
I thought for a second that maybe I should've taken a taxi.
I'm sorry.
So, where is your colleague hospitalized?
Osung Hospital.
You've seen him before, right?
Captain Cha Moohyuk.
When you came by the Task Force.
Is he badly injured?
They say he hasn't woken up yet.
I'll need to get there to find out his exact condition.
Where's Misun?
If she voluntarily returned, she should be working like the rest of us.
She's taking care of Moscow because he was injured earlier.
She's part of the team now, isn't she?
It's a family matter, that's why.
Stop that nonsense about family and keep printing the bills, old man.
You should stop talking and get moving.
You're supposed to work with your body, not with your mouth.
Jeez…
Hang in there a bit more, and Taeksu…
Denver will get you out of here.
I know that you're not
happy with me.
Where's your hometown?
Kaesong.
And you graduated from college there?
Why would a smart and pretty young lady like you
choose someone like him?
I've never
done anything by choice. Not once.
I went to school and worked according to my parents' wishes.
Dating too.
When the director said he liked me,
I thought my parents would like him because he was a man in power,
despite being divorced.
It turned out he had lied about getting a divorce,
but I wasn't really that sad.
And then I met him.
And everything about him was sincere,
despite his clumsiness.
For the first time in my life…
I followed my heart and approached him.
At your age,
it's possible to feel that way.
But once you take a look around outside,
there are a lot of guys like him.
You should have just left.
Why did you come back?
I feel as if I'd die if I don't see him
but alive when I do see him.
I can finally breathe.
It's like that now.
But sooner or later, he'll go back to his ways
and cause you all sorts of trouble.
By then, you won't be able to leave him…
because you're also a criminal.
Sure, I might regret it…
but if I just let him go and live the way I used to…
will I have no regrets?
Go ahead. I'll wait here.
Thank you.
Why don't you just come with me? I won't take long checking up on him.
Sure.
Well, why not?
They're going in now.
Copy that.
He disappeared while he was being pursued for leaking inside information.
I never imagined he'd show up like this.
How did he…
It seems he had an accident while running away from someone.
Not the police.
Probably them.
The robbers?
He probably had information he shouldn't have known about.
Once Captain Cha wakes up…
we'll find out what it is.
When do you think he'll wake up?
I'm not sure.
Do you mind waiting here for a second?
I have to speak with the doctor.
Go ahead.
Backup on standby.
Copy that.
Even if I don't make it back, our operation should continue on schedule.
What?
If he talks now, everything will be over.
In a hospital full of cops,
it won't be easy to shut him up,
but making it out safe will be even harder.
What's the point of all this if you get caught?
If it guarantees the success of our plan,
I can rot in jail forever and die.
I won't mind.
What did the doctor say?
He hurt his head badly, so it'll take him a few days
to regain consciousness.
The doctor isn't sure he'll be able to communicate even if he does…
Gosh.
As much as I want to catch the guys who did this to Captain Cha,
I'm off the Task Force, and it's not even my jurisdiction,
so there's nothing I can do.
It's not your fault.
Captain Cha Moohyuk…
will wake up soon.
Are you sure
I can't take you home?
I'm fine. The chief will be here soon, so I'd better see him before I leave.
That guy is really Professor?
Then shouldn't we catch him now?
We have to get the whole group in order to put a stop to his plans.
He's been making a fool out of the police and playing with me.
He must think we're in the palm of his hand.
I'm going to make him pay.
I'm on my way.
Luckily, Cha Moohyuk's in a coma.
GPS TRACKING
It's the direction of the conference room.
Is his purpose terrorism?
We'll know once we catch him.
I'll take responsibility. Call the station and ask for backup.
Yes, got it.
Why don't you take a break?
You'll die before your father does if you keep going like this.
I'm fine. You get rid of all this dirt.
GPS TRACKING
He just pulled over. It must be their hideout.
Check the area and block any escape route.
He's not here.
Suspect's vehicle found.
He seems to have entered the building.
His people must be here, so be careful.
Over here!
I'm on my way.
FIVE MINUTES EARLIER
Luckily, Cha Moohyuk's in a coma.
Remember how we planted a GPS tracker on the inspector's car?
Yes, why?
She's headed this way.
No.
I'm telling you, he's Professor!
So, you're saying he approached you and got information from you?
What about Cha Moohyuk?
I'm not sure, but he could've been caught while chasing him.
Anyway, you could've caught him just now but missed him, right?
That's because I wanted to get the whole group at once--
You left the Task Force!
You should've shared the information and gotten out of the way! Besides--
Furthermore, the guy's your boyfriend.
This is serious.
Are you trying to say that I let him go on purpose?
You can explain that to Internal Affairs later.
Just know you'll be suspended for the time being.
So, she was suspicious of us?
You have to get rid of the evidence related to the inspector.
Not that you need my advice.
Anyway, the news just came out.
The summit was pushed forward a day.
We should
hurry too.
Didn't you say you'd find your own way out?
Well, I still need a hole to get out of here.
Come out, man. I'll take it from here.
What are you doing here?
Gosh.
Do you even know how to dig?
I'll do anything to live.
You really think Professor will get us killed?
I have no fucking clue.
Who knows if he's scheming behind my back?
You too, man. Don't trust Professor too much.
Once the tunnel is complete, take your father and get out of here.
You guys are so naive. Damn…
When Tokyo said there were changes made to the operation,
I pictured us escaping in my head, like a movie.
And?
We die at the end. All of us.
Rio.
You,
once we're done digging,
you get out first.
You're the youngest of all of us.
And you have family out there.
What about you, man?
Shit.
Well, I have to take care of my dad,
and if he finds out we're leaving the others behind,
my old man will beat me to death.
Get out of the way, you bastard.
These kids who didn't get their military training can't shovel.
Are you saying it's the same whether you die by a bullet
or die by your father's fists?
Together we live. Apart we die.
You never heard of that, you bastard?
Hey, do you even know who said that?
Damn it.
General Yi Sun-sin, right?
Hey, it's Rhee Syngman.
He said that and ran off on his own.
"He who seeks life shall die, and he who seeks death shall live."
This is what General Yi Sun-sin said.
That's a cool quote.
If you want to live, you'll croak.
If you want to fucking croak, you will live! You fucking assholes!
Hey!
What?
You heard that, right?
What? Hey!
Who's there?
Can you hear me?
Yes! You're almost there!
Fuck!
Rio.
Hey, we fucking did it.
Good job.
Hey, hold on.
Hey, listen!
Moscow's been shot.
He's in critical condition.
Don't worry!
We'll be ready to get him treated as soon as the hole is made.
Okay!
Yes, okay. Thank you!
JEA POLICE STATION JURISDICTION MAP
You said you have to return it.
I thought you were taking time off work?
This is the point of Captain Cha's accident.
And Professor was headed this way from the hospital.
That means their hideout is between here,
here, and here.
There's a new mall there. It's nice.
Really?
They must have good security cameras installed.
Wait, you're heading out?
Hey, Mina will be home soon.
You two go ahead and eat.
Take care of yourself.
You know, you're the head of the family.
Moscow, stay with me. Please.
Are you okay?
Go get Denver.
Hurry.
Hey, this.
What is it?
We're going to live now!
Taeksu!
Hey, Misun. Hurry, come over here.
Misun, look over here.
We dug the whole thing now. We're going to live now.
Go quickly.
I'm sorry.
Are you awake?
Honey.
I'm
really sorry for everything.
You said
our Taeksu
will end up like me, right?
I worked my ass off
to not let that happen.
No.
Taeksu grew up well. Manly and dependable.
Really?
I didn't raise him wrong?
He grew up well.
All thanks to you.
Thank you.
Dad, what's wrong?
Come on.
Dad, I'm here.
I'm here. Look at me.
-Dad. -Move.
Do something.
Damn it. Dad.
Rio, you bastard! Do something, please!
Why are you crying like this? You're a man.
Dad.
Are you awake now?
Yes.
Dad, I dug the whole thing.
You did?
Yes.
Good job.
All we have to do is get out of here. Okay?
Let's go.
Taeksu.
When you get out…
be good
to Misun.
If you break her heart…
I'll kill you.
All right. I won't, okay?
I love you.
I love you too, Dad.
I love you.
Wake up and hang in there, okay?
In my entire life of digging,
I've never had this much fun.
It's thanks to all of you.
You have treated
foolish old me and my Taeksu
like family.
Thank you.
I know it's late…
but I'm…
Oh Mansik.
Oh Man…
sik.
Dad.
Dad. What's wrong?
Dad. Open your eyes.
Dad. You can't close your eyes.
Dad. Gosh, wake up. Please, Dad!
I dug the whole thing.
Moscow.
All we have to do is get out of here.
Dad…
What do we do?
Dad.
ONE MILLION WON
Why is everybody so quiet?
Are you paying tribute?
Cheongmyung suggested it.
And to save electricity.
I can do it on my own.
You should get some rest.
No, it's fine.
My old man hated to see me fooling around
more than anything.
As my dad said, I'm going to hurry and get out of here…
and live a happy life.
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a person die.
But why did he look so peaceful?
We would've been better off if we hadn't met Professor.
What was he so happy about?
When I first met Professor,
it was the day my friend, who I robbed loan sharks with,
was shot to death.
And I can't forget the final look on her face.
I never wanted to see that kind of look again.
That's how I started working with Professor.
How did you know her?
She was my first friend after I moved to South Korea.
I was a server at a restaurant
and saw her gulping down the leftovers,
so I stared at her, and she offered me some.
Hey, that's a true friendship.
Was she also from North Korea?
No.
She was South Korean.
Ever since my father passed, I've lived exclusively as a South Korean.
In a world where money is best, I sold anything and everything for success.
The last thing I sold
was my conscience as a scholar.
Our group will provide you with the capital, and you, Professor,
will create a model for economic cooperation.
Your research will be the key to the unification of the Peninsula.
But my plan to accelerate unification was just a means to make money for them.
This land eventually became a huge speculative area for the haves.
How a normal girl who loved K-pop became a robber,
how your friend died like that,
in a way, it's all my fault.
This is all because of those bastards.
The real thieves.
We still have time
to put a stop to them and reclaim the future they took from us.
Okay. I get that's the big cause,
but do you have to risk your life for it?
Do you really have to go through bullets for it?
That's not the only reason I risked my life to get back in here.
Then what?
You and I are on different paths.
Where we come from, our backgrounds, the way we were raised, are all different.
But as Moscow said, it's like we're already family, right?
I'm sure Professor would--
Sorry to interrupt you.
I actually have to go dig.
That bastard, Denver, is going to be pissed.
Tell me your story some other time.
When we first came in here, I didn't like you guys that much.
Jinx.
The lives we have lived and the reasons we needed the money were different.
But now that I've come this far…
I don't care about all that.
I came to like you guys.
So what I'm trying to say is--
It's fine.
We all know. You don't have to say anything mushy.
Right, Rio?
Gosh.
Okay.
Even if we all came here for different reasons,
today, we're all getting out of here together.
Now, let's get moving.
This is the Peace Square
near Hotel Peace, where the third Inter-Korean Summit is being held.
A huge crowd has gathered
at the news that the summit has been pushed forward a day.
Many are cheering for this summit, hoping it will serve as a cornerstone
for the future economic development of Korea.
THE HOUSE OF PAPER IS OURS
PUNISH THEM
UNIFICATION IS NOT A MEANS OF MAKING MONEY
Kim Sangman!
Some of them agree with the claims of the robbers who occupied the Mint
and are protesting to put an end to the summit.
Kim Sangman!
Song Sunho?
He's Professor?
I think he planned the crime after he faked his suicide.
I knew it.
How amusing.
What should we do about the Mint?
Well, the summit will be over after taking a few pictures and signing.
Once it's over, force your way in.
Yes, sir.
Also,
the goal of the operation is not to arrest but to kill everyone involved.
-Congressman. -Here he comes.
Congressman, give us a statement.
Yeah, the scene at the square is as expected.
All right.
I'll be down.
I…
What? You thought you could play me until the end?
The place is surrounded, so don't try anything stupid.
It seems you're by yourself, yet you're not arresting me.
You have something in particular to ask me?
Don't move.
What is it you want to know?
You stirring up public opinion this whole time…
was it just a trick?
To escape and get here amid the chaos?
Is that all it was?
It's easy to be deluded if you follow what you see.
What's important is reading the direction
because that's how you change it.
You speak another word of your crap,
and I'll put a bullet through your head.
You're right.
We plan on escaping
amid the chaos.
All that about unification
was all bullshit?
The words that were written on the walls in your hideout,
what Berlin said to the press, all of it?
No.
That's the real reason I started this.
What?
When my late father was in the North, he worked as a construction engineer
when he was put on a secret mission.
It was to shut down old tunnels after the Cold War.
My father shut down all those tunnels following his orders,
except one.
Jungho's illness had gotten worse,
and he knew he couldn't be treated in the North.
But before he could use it, the party found out, so--
You were separated while defecting across Amnok River?
I know all about it.
What comes next is the important part.
In order to get Jungho out, we were in need of a huge sum of money.
So my father was committing a robbery
when he passed away.
Do you think you're the only one with such a story?
That's exactly the problem!
Back then, I thought the whole tragedy was due to the division.
But even now, the tragedy is repeated over and over!
Why?!
Because of the money-crazed bastards who sold the future of the country!
Stop that fucking bullshit!
The summit is not really for unification or economic cooperation!
Those thieves are trying to take advantage of it
to make big money for themselves!
How are you sure of that?
On what grounds?
Capital moves only for profit.
But if the State guarantees that profit, it can speed up unification,
and conglomerates can maximize profits,
so it's a win-win for them!
How am I sure?
I'm the one who came up with the plan for them.
What?
Chairman Oh Jaeyun of Osung Group
and the politician who had his support.
No…
Yes, it just happens to be your ex-husband, Kim Sangman.
I'm going to let the world know who the real thieves are
by robbing their pockets!
But you're still a thief yourself!
Once I got out,
I planned on throwing my share in the middle of the city.
If people check the serial numbers,
they'd realize what we're saying is true.
Unfortunately, that'll never happen.
If I get arrested here,
Kim Sangman will kill me.
Didn't you come here alone because you knew that?
If I die,
please let the world know
how we were able to print that much money at the Mint…
and what kind of money it is.
Please.
Are you telling the truth?
I don't want to lie
to you anymore.
My feelings for you
were all true.
Don't try to fool me.
You approached me to use me in the first place!
At first, yes.
And I should have stuck to it until the end.
But I couldn't.
I'm sorry.
