Oh, my head.

Hey! We need more hands on the line!

Get that area!

How long will it take them to put out the fire?

It'll be out any moment. Firefighters are getting ready to enter the building.

Start left and search for survivors.

- Check the stairwell! - Yes!

What's the status? Are there any people inside?

It's so dark in here. I can barely see anything.

Is that a…?

Captain! The stairway on the second floor. There's a survivor.

What happened?

I saw him move. I think he's alive.

Are you awake, sir? Can you hear me? Sir?

- We're almost there. - Look out!

Hang in there. We're almost there.

- What's wrong with him? - Badly burned.

- Vitals? - Heart rate at 80.

- And his BP? - 100 over 70.

One, two, three!

- Family? - Police haven't ID'd him.

What happened?

An abandoned building set fire in Guhoe. He was inside.

There are no big hospitals there, so we brought him here.

- I need morphine. - On it.

Wait! Don't give him morphine.

He might go into shock.

He's in a lot of pain.

Listen, sir. This part is going to be painful.

But you have to push through it. Don't faint.

If you're in pain, don't hold it in.

Scream as loud as you need to. Do you understand?

- Cut the clothes off first. - Okay.

Can you hold him down? Hold here.

Here's some saline.

The sleeve is off.

We did our very best, sir,

but the reconstruction of your skin wasn't perfect.

Unfortunately, we struggled more than we thought with the wounds on the face.

You inhaled a lot of smoke, which severely damaged your airways.

It won't be easy to vocalize like you did before.

Hang on a second.

Hmm. His name isn't listed.

This was an emergency. He was rushed here.

Oh…

Park Jae-yeong is my name.

Have you contacted your family?

I… have no family.

Oh, okay. There's no family to contact. Thank you, everyone.

- Please take good care of Mr. Park. - Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Let's go.

PARK JAE-YEONG

You saved my life.

Thank you.

KARMA

15 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE

THIS IS YOUR LANDLORD YOU HAVEN'T PAID THREE MONTHS' RENT

Rent, my ass.

Mm.

Ugh, something's gotta give.

CONGRATS!!! TODAY'S THE DAY

ASSHOLE

This is the Bentley Flying Spur.

Check out the exterior.

This is the definition of luxury, high-end.

Let's give it a peek inside.

You guys can totally get a car like this too.

I've made 500 million won. See? I wasn't lying.

I knew that I could turn a profit, so I used leverage.

No joke, the price of this could shoot up 30, 40 times.

- - Jeez.

ASSHOLE

The asshole. It's so inconsiderate. Why does he always call so early?

…to make money.

…a small amount, don't worry.

Just get in now.

God, it's so easy to turn a profit. Don't be intimidated.

Just trust me, and invest some money into this now

and watch what happens.

If you want to see returns of 40 or 50%

now is the time to get in.

You want to drive a car like this someday, right?

Sit down.

Why are you screening my calls?

I wasn't.

Uh…

- I think it just-- -

- - You little shit.

Ow. Sir.

- Sir. - "Asshole"?

No. L… L… Let me explain.

I mean, "Asshole" is a little offensive, isn't it?

Please let me explain. Please? Hey, I--

You have no respect.

Just let me explain, sir, please.

- -

So, how do you feel now?

You see, this is why you should've believed what I said.

- You brushed it off, so I had no choice. - I'll pay you.

I had to bring you here to show you your future.

Sir, please, I'll pay you back. Trust me. I'll pay you back.

I know you will. Don't keep repeating it.

After seeing this, you'd be a fool not to pay.

I'll pay you back as soon as I can. I promise, I promise.

- -

All right.

Here, I'm giving you a month. That should be enough time.

If I don't hear from you when the 30 days are up,

if you don't pay by then,

many lives will be saved using your organs.

Have I made myself clear?

All right then.

Well, hopefully, this will be the last time

we see each other. Right?

Forgive me. I'm really sorry.

P… P… Please. Hey!

Goddamn it.

THE MAN WITH LOAN SHARK DEBTS

MONEY DUE D-29

That was real?

Put it over here.

Hey. Hey, hey. It fell more today.

- Whoa, where are you going? - Whatever. What are you getting at?

Uh, well, I trusted you when you said it would start going up.

Well fuck, man. Is it my fault a war broke out in our region?

No, that is not what I'm saying.

You told me you'd pay what you owe me when the coin went up--

Hey, you know it has to fall before it starts going up again.

Why do you keep making this awkward?

Hey!

If it goes up I might not pay you back if you keep doing this.

No, wait, no. Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

All right. Calm down, man. What's with you?

Damn it.

I can't have you pestering me, all right? It's stressing me out.

I hear you. I'm so sorry about it, I really am.

Have you eaten?

Not yet. I should eat something. Um, I… I…
