Let's go!

Hey! How about

a drink aferwards?

Okay!

Hey!

24 months later

Stupid sense of control...

$1 million annual income!

Or you're a loser!

Your dream is my dream.

Very nice.

Your dream is my dream.

There's a category where

our team placed first

in the first two quarters.

Know what that is?

Wow, we placed first?

If it was something worthy,

the bosses upstairs won't b*tch at us.

Financial loss.

Insurance money is pouring out to

the clients like open floodgate.

Why?

They're dying lef and right.

Why did they die?

Sui... cide?

That's right, suicide.

So if the clients die like that,

do we pay out or not?

Afer 2-year payment period,

it should be paid.

That's right.

But you can't,

no way, no can do!

If your clients ask,

what do you say?

Absolutely not!

And why isn't Byeong-wu here?

Where is that bastard?

- Hello, chairman.

- I'm sorry for making you wait.

- It's nothing at all.

- Please have a seat.

Thank you.

How old are you this year,

Byeong-wu?

Ah, I'm 33.

I've heard many

good things about you.

I hope that this decision will

become a good chance for you.

I'll be back from the business trip

at the end of the month.

Yes, sir.

Tie up loose ends and

let's start formally.

Thank you, sir.

I'll do my very best.

You'll now only deal with

the top 0.1% of Korea.

Let's do well.

For success!

Yes, for success!

Dammit... This constipation turned

my sh*t into a rock!

This is killing me.

Hey, Jin-suk, Jin-suk!

You really lost your touch.

I feel terrible.

At least make it look like you

still work here.

I got constipation

because of you.

I'm so busy,

I can't help you there.

But you know, you still have to

report to your manager once in a while.

Are you hiding something from me?

If you're referring to some new porno,

sure I got some.

Yeah? Which race?

All?

Look, this ciggy is

my first one in 3 years.

If you don't answer me,

I'll light this baby, got it?

Take a drag.

When you're stressed out

you should smoke now and then.

I decided to quit and transfer,

so be a little understanding.

How could you be a human

and be so inhumanly cruel?

Do I look like a chump?

Listen to me carefully.

Life is C between B and D,

'Choice' between 'Birth' and 'Death'.

Stunning, such a powerful phrase.

Why didn't you tell me

about it before?

I'll buy rounds

at 3,000 Virgins tonight.

You make all the choices.

Keep 3,000 Virgins all to yourself.

You ungrateful bastard,

who stuck by you

when you were tired

and all alone in the field?

Wasn't I the only one?

Stop saying stuff like that,

don't be so naive.

This is business,

it's a fiercely competitive market place.

You take the offer instantly

if they offer more.

Take a drag and come down.

Hey, Byeong-wu!

I'm really going to smoke!

You see this?

It's lit, you bastard.

It's here again.

The magazine's here.

What articles have you

wrote this time?

Take it easy with the intake, please?

Hye-in, this isn't right.

This doesn't look like

the real thing!

Too much retouching!

Hey!

What's this car?

Ah, you know...

I was scouted today.

Today marks the first day

of a new era for me.

The man who scouted me today

is absolutely the best in this field.

Top 0.1% in Korea,

that's who I'll manage personally.

And where do we stand there?

We'll work hard and

be part of that group.

Watch, I'll hit $1 million

annual salary soon.

What's the reason for hitting that?

You know, to be happy.

Can't we lead a simple happiness?

Stop being so simple-minded,

you'll really become a simpleton.

Go hungry for 3 days,

and see if you still think that way.

If we have nothing to call out own,

everyone will treat us like ghosts.

We're nonexistent to them at all.

Missy, is this non-smoking area?

No, you can smoke here.

Can't you be courteous?

What are you talking about?

Why so impolite to

these young people?

Then should I be impolite

to the elders?

Byeong-wu!

What's with you these days?

So, you won't answer my calls?

Fine, fine, don't answer.

Is it my loss?

Hello, hello?

Ah, yes Mr. Hwang.

How are you?

I'm sorry for calling so late.

It's nothing at all.

We are always ready for our clients,

standing by 24 hours a day.

What's on your mind?

It's just, I don't know

how to read this properly...

Wanted you to give me a quote.

A quote?

A quote for the claim in case I die.

Are you not feeling well?

Is it... cancer?

Nothing like that,

like an accident, or...

Sir, please, don't say that.

As you'll know

from reading the clauses,

but there's no claim

for intentional death.

Then what other ways are there?

Sir, why all of sudden...

Then do you drink at all?

Isn't this one the best?

Isn't it?

Mister, make it this one.

- This one?

- Yes.

And I don't want that

function that redirects you

to the new number

when you dial the old number.

Sir, that's a free service.

- No, don't do it, I don't need it.

- Yes, sir.

What if your clients

are trying to reach you?

I'm done with that,

I have to disappear without a trace.

The Truth

Speak of the devil.

Hello?

Where the heck are you?

You really want us

to end like this?

Jin-suk, the game's over.

Then we go to extra innings.

I'm changing this number

so don't call anymore.

Please activate it right away.

It'll be done shortly.

What?

And you are?

Mr. Hwang's family is pressing charges

for aiding and abetting in his suicide.

- Aiding what?

- Aiding and abetting suicide.

Either you didn't help as he died

or assisted his suicide.

So, you claimed to have met him that day,

what did you two talk about?

He wanted me to help him

pull a claim estimate.

That late in the night?

What a pro!

If a client is asking for you,

does matter how late it is?

And he didn't mention anything else?

Well, he asked

if suicide is claimable.

- And?

- And, what?

I told him suicide is not claimable.

Detective, this is really

uncomfortable for me.

How could you insist that

I've assisted in a suicide

when I have the obligation

to answer my client's inquiries?

Ultimately, the claim will be paid.

But suicide should not

normally pay out, right?

He was drunk, and didn't you know

he'd get the claim if he died drunk?

Have you by any chance

mention booze to Mr. Hwang?

My father has never drank

a drop in his life!

He couldn't have known

unless you told him!

Let me go!

Nowadays, you can get all the details

when you look it up online.

Shouldn't you have changed

his mind when asked?

Goddammit...

Miss, do you think I'm a god?

Isn't that right, detective?

How could I have known

he was going to kill himself?

You could've said

something warm to him...

Hey Hye-in,

Lee Hye-in!

Hey!

How could you leave by yourself!

Dammit!

Those people are so inconsiderate.

How could they keep me for so long?

Tell me the truth, seriously.

Forget what you saw.

The family should have thought of

a better way to cope with it.

What the hell is this mess?

You seriously don't have

anything to do with this?
