The Apartment Job (아파트)

THE APARTMENT JOB

Sangwon Police Major Crimes Unit. Mr. Park Hae-kang?

You're under arrest

for embezzlement and breach of trust.

Due to the risk of flight, we're arresting you without a warrant.

You have the right to retain an attorney,

to present your defense, and to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you...

Let's go.

There he is!

Just a moment.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE TRUE VALUE STATE SCAM

HUMAN SCUM DESERVE MERCILESS PUNISHMENT

Let's keep moving.

I supported you!

I feel so betrayed!

Wait!

Guys! Don't!

How can you do this when you're a mom?

Mr. Park!

Take care of our family.

Boss!

Boss!

THE APARTMENT JOB

You came up with great lines, Mr. Kim.

Good job.

I like the photos too.

It's been a while since I got such an adrenaline rush.

Should I put this on my living room wall?

I can look at it whenever I'm sad. It'll help with my depression.

We stuck about 1,000 posters around the complex

and placed them in all the mailboxes.

By tomorrow, everyone will know about Park Hae-kang.

Right.

This is the scary thing about an apartment complex.

Once you're branded as a fraud, you can't step outside your door.

All 9,800 households will be watching him.

How would he endure that?

- Mr. Kim. - Yes, sir.

Forget about eating healthy today.

How about some spicy rice cakes? I want them very spicy.

So spicy

that it'll bring tears to your eyes.

I know your situation, but give us the ledger.

We need to save our boss.

Ha-ri, give them the ledger.

It was an emergency arrest.

They have to release him if they can't get a warrant in 48 hours.

But who knows what will happen to him within the 48 hours?

There's no point in bringing the ledger.

Lee Chung-won's name

isn't even written in there.

The names written there were President Seo and Mr. Choi.

There's no connection to Lee Chung-won whatsoever.

Back then, I didn't know that Lee Chung-won was behind it.

But I've met him in person, so if I testify…

Don't you get it?

Lee Chung-won planned all this.

If we bring the ledger, it will only help him.

You mean he'll pin the blame on Mr. Choi, President Seo,

and Ms. Kang Ha-jeong once he gets his hands on the ledger?

I recorded everything in a way that it'd be really easy for him

to shift all the blame to us.

Well, I…

Then…

What about our boss?

Lee Chung-won's trying to pressure us.

He wants our fake family to scatter

and disappear from this apartment complex.

What Lee Chung-won wanted

was the image of Park Hae-kang getting arrested

so it would rattle the residents.

So what? We just do nothing?

He'll be released in 48 hours.

Forty-eight…

Also,

didn't you hear Mr. Park telling us to take care of the family?

We should be sticking together.

Stick together and do what?

We have to stay right here, as a family.

If we all flee because of this, we'll really become frauds.

It's true we're a fake family,

but we didn't embezzle anything.

So if we run away, we become frauds,

and if we stay, we remain a family?

So we should stay here and be a real family

so Mr. Park can return and fight, right?

Yes.

All 9,800 households are watching us.

The system clearly says there's 17.8 billion.

How is the account empty?

We had no idea that the account didn't match the system.

We only found out today.

You practically gave away the key to someone who made a fake family

to embezzle the long-term repair reserve fund!

And we had no idea!

We were stupidly praising him and calling him President Park!

We're sorry.

We really had no idea.

President Park managed the seal and account himself.

How is that an excuse?

But we won't even be able to pay the cleaning company next month.

To keep the complex running,

we'll have to collect a special assessment

of about 1.82 million won per household.

What? 1.82 million?

Are you kidding me?

Why should I pay for the money that Park Hae-kang pocketed?

I'm never going to pay for that!

That 1.82 million won isn't the problem right now!

The kindergarten's closed down due to shoddy construction,

the maintenance fees are out of control, and the reserve fund is gone.

If word spreads about this,

our property value will plummet!

Our apartment complex could really go under overnight.

We should freeze the assets of that scammer family

and cut off all their electricity and water!

Do you really think we got scammed by them?

I can't believe it either.

The problem is his face.

How could a fraud look like that?

His acting was way too good.

Forget his face.

He's a fraud

who embezzled all our money.

Hey.

You have no loyalty at all.

You shouldn't treat him like this.

Did you forget who stepped up and helped with the kindergarten issue?

That's not all.

Remember what he did about the deliveries and the heating bills?

Then what about this?

There's a photo of him at the bank.

We're not sure what to believe anymore.

It's simple. You should trust the money.

That 17.8 billion isn't some pocket money.

If he really took all that, why would he remain here

and work so hard?

Does that make any sense?

If he really embezzled 17.8 billion,

he would've changed his identity

and already fled the country, don't you think?

You're right.

Before we think about whether Park Hae-kang's a fraud or not,

we should think about finding our 17.8 billion won.

You young mothers, use your brains, will you?

This is tough.

My goodness.

TENANTS' COUNCIL PRESIDENT JANG SUK-JIN

How can this be the face of someone who took 17.8 billion won?

He looks like he's the one who got robbed blind.

EXPOSING PARK HAE-KANG'S CORRUPTION

I swear

that I have not taken so much as a single penny in illicit gains.

I promise to cooperate

with any investigations.

Lastly, I sincerely apologize to all the residents

of True Value.

Cut! Okay!

Good job.

Mr. Choi,

you saw President Seo last time, right?

A disappearance

is neat and convenient.

No body, no evidence.

It only leaves hope

for their family.

You know that's the state President Seo is in, don't you?

Yes.

I'll do anything you ask, sir.

I'm counting on you.

I need to live.

I have to survive first.

Mr. Choi.

What?

Where are you going?

I have urgent business…

By any chance,

are you running away?

Running away? No, I need to go…

Let me talk to you.

Is it true

that President Park embezzled the reserve fund?

He didn't. It was President Seo, wasn't it?

You and President Seo embezzled the fund, didn't you?

Didn't you?

- Let go of me. - Don't you dare.

What's with you?

Get him!

Catch that thief!

Taxi!

Taxi! Stop!

Taxi!

Sir, go! Just go!

Where should I take you,

sir?

Hide, hide.

What?

Hey, it's nice to see you!

Take this. Good to see you.
