Kim Dong-hyeon! Have you lost your mind?

-What's that sound? -What's wrong with you?

Buying put options in a bull market?

Have you gone nuts?

If you want to die, don't drag others with you!

-What happened? -Why did you do that?

Why did you do it?

I see you've become reckless just because you've been doing well these days.

What will you do tomorrow?

The higher-ups will sue you for breach of duty!

What will you do, you jerk?

-What is it? -Sir, look at the news!

The strongest country in the world, the United States, has been attacked.

Korea's stock market is at risk as well.

The composite stock price index dropped by 12.01% today.

It's the biggest drop ever.

-As many as 621 sectors of stocks dropped. -What happened?

-Another 591 sectors dropped in KOSDAQ. -What's going on?

-Only 11 sectors have risen in the market. -What should we do?

-This is insane. -It's complete chaos.

This is perfect!

I hope things will continue like this!

It's a day to celebrate.

Sir.

I really respect you, sir.

I'm really grateful that I met you.

You're my savior.

I promise

to serve you well from now on.

-Help me meet someone. -Who?

Kim Han-yong. He's an IT investor.

IT?

That bubble burst already. There's nothing to gain from it.

It burns easily.

Money burns easily.

But people don't.

What?

Hello, Mr. Kim.

I'm Kim Dong-hyeon. Please have a seat.

I don't know what this is about,

but I came here because you kept begging me to meet you.

I'm busy.

If you have something to say, make it quick.

Sir!

He's a bit picky about food.

What are you doing?

I heard your wife is sick.

Was it ALS or something like that?

-What is it? -Medicine.

She could die any moment. There's nothing to lose.

Who the hell are you?

Mr. Kim, is this some kind of a joke?

No, of course not. Sir, there's no cure for ALS.

-It's incurable. -Not yet.

Try it and contact me if you need more.

Let's go.

That crazy jerk.

-Hey, Dad. -Hey.

You must be tired. You should've just gone home.

-Mom. -Honey.

Mom!

Honey!

Mom, can you recognize me?

It's me, Seo-jin.

Oh, my gosh.

Honey!

I don't know how I can ever repay you.

Han Tae-sul.

Invest in him.

Invest in your name with my money.

Why do you want to invest in him?

He has to make something for me.

The medicine will lose its effect in about a month.

If you obey me, I'll give you more.

-Keep in touch. -I will.

-Hold on. -You can't go in.

Tae-sul!

Hold on.

-Excuse me. -I'm his brother. Just a second.

Take it.

This isn't about money, you know.

It won't take long. Just spare me five minutes.

I know you went through a lot, but must I put up with this forever?

-I'm just-- -I'll repay you for everything, so--

I'm just so worried about you. What if something happens--

Tae-san! If you really care about me,

drop this and just go home.

-Hey, let's step out for a moment. -Seriously, enough!

-I'll explain outside. -I'll call you!

-No, our phones are tapped! -For God's sake!

Jeez.

Tae-sul.

Wait, Tae-sul. Tae-sul!

Tae-sul.

Tae-sul.

Tae-sul, wait.

Darn it.

You. It's you, right?

You!

It's you, right?

Who are you?

What have you done to Tae-sul? Huh?

You!

Let go of me!

Let me go!

What have you done to Tae-sul? Let go of me!

It's been listed now, so you'll earn at least ten times the investment.

Gosh!

This is amazing.

Aren't you happy?

Come to think of it, I've never seen you smile.

My life has been so successful since I met you.

Thank you.

The CEO recruitment will go well.

By the way,

my wife is pregnant.

They said it's a boy.

I've always wanted to ask.

How do you know all this?

Gosh, the view is amazing.

Enjoy it when you can.

Everything's going to burn down soon.

What?

Everyone's going to die soon.

Everyone.
