DECOY

City councilman Park Gwang-sin was found dead

in his office yesterday evening.

The police, who arrived at the scene following a phone call,

were able to apprehend fleeing suspects, and are now investigating.

Park started out as an advisor

to Kim Seong-dae, Chairman of the National Assembly,

and is known for building

his political career in the local community.

Come out!

Get the fuck out! Kim Seong-dae, you bastard.

Come on out, Kim Seong-dae, for fuck's sake!

Do I know you?

-Where is Kim Seong-dae? -Hey!

Who the hell are you?

Kim Seong-dae...

Please, leave.

What do you think you're doing?

-You shouldn't be here. -Where the hell is he?

You don't listen, do you?

Call the police. Quick!

Yeah, call the fucking police.

My friend's a cop, you dickhead.

What's going on here?

I'm sorry, sir.

-Are you Kim Seong-dae? -Wait.

It's okay. He's one of my constituents.

Come and sit down, please.

What brings you here today, sir?

You know Jang Kang-chun, don't you?

Where the hell is he?

-I don't know who that is. -I knew you'd say that.

Why the fuck would you take a picture with someone you don't know?

What are you guys doing? Are you just going to keep me waiting?

I apologize. I will take care of this.

-Shit. -Come on. Get out of here.

Let go of me!

Hey, you guys...

You're all in on it, aren't you?

Give me the picture.

-Ms. Jung. -Yes?

Tell this guy the people I met today.

Chairman of the Marine Corps Veterans Association,

Chairman of Seongdong redevelopment committee,

and then in the afternoon you'll have a meeting with...

Enough.

Look, sir.

As an assemblyman,

I meet many different people.

It's part of the job description,

and people who meet me take pictures to remember the occasion.

How am I supposed to remember

who this jackass is or what he does?

This guy told me you'd take care of some documents!

He said that?

You swear? Tell me exactly what he said.

I don't even know the guy, and yet he really said that?

I'm very close with that guy over there.

He didn't actually talk about you and the documents

but fuck it, you're in that picture!

You're out of your mind, you lunatic.

Get me a cup of water.

You've met this guy, haven't you? You know him, right?

Listen.

I don't care whether you were scammed by this guy or not.

It's none of my business and not for me to know.

You invested money in a scammer and got fooled?

You should go to the police then.

I don't have the time to go to the police!

That's why I came here. I thought you'd know this guy!

This is the police.

-Mr. Kim, what seems to be the problem? -You're right on time.

This guy here

is a terrorist.

A terrorist?

EPISODE 3. THE FRAUDS

Sir, you have to listen.

I was scammed and the guy that...

He's close with Kim Seong-dae and was working with him?

Yes, exactly.

That's why I visited him. I'm not a terrorist...

Mr. No Sang-cheon.

I thought this Jang Kang-chun scammed you.

How can you believe anything he told you is true?

He's a con man. He cons people for a living.

Do you have any proof the two know each other?

I would have to say

that the proof is not absolutely solid

-but Kim Seong-dae said... -I've heard enough.

Scammers really thrive on people like you

who keep getting scammed. Isn't that right?

How stupid can morons get?

I know.

Moron?

Stupid?

I mean...

is that any way to speak to a victim?

You pigs.

You crazy prick...

Yeah, you're damn right I'm crazy. Okay?

You call me a stupid moron

and I can't call you pigs?

Do you really think I'm an idiot for being scammed?

Then the scammers aren't to blame. Maybe it's all my fault.

If I go out and con somebody, you'll say I've done nothing wrong, right?

You two...

Did Jang Kang-chun bribe you?

Or did Kim Seong-dae pay you after you covered for him?

Hey, No Sang-cheon!

You're under special surveillance for organized crime activity.

Get this guy into lockup

and see if we can charge him.

I'm sure we'll find something.

Jeez...

Wait, look at this guy.

He must really be hiding something at his house or something.

What is it? Marijuana? Kidnapped somebody?

Records of illegal loans?

Records of what? And drugs, no way...

You can't go searching my house. It's against the law.

You're right if we don't find anything.

But if we do, it's all good. You jerk.

I'm getting hungry.

Can I get something to eat?

Mr. No Sang-cheon.

Mr. No Sang-cheon!

Come on out.

Feeling remorseful?

I'll come and visit with the assemblyman.

You're welcome anytime.

Let's go.

Have a good day.

What's wrong? Go on.

FRIENDLY POLICE ALWAYS WITH THE CITIZENS

You're wondering why I got you out, aren't you?

I was scammed too, some time ago.

A friend assured me I'd make a fortune, so I invested.

Thinking back, it didn't make sense at all.

Sounds just like me.

To be honest, the assemblyman thinks you're being charged.

Hold this for a second.

Here. Get yourself a hearty meal before you go home.

And this, too.

ADVISOR PARK GWANG-SIN

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Mr. Park Gwang-sin.

You look a lot better with a smile.

Hope you cheer up!

-Wait! -Yes?

Would you like to have some gukbap ?

It's my treat. Let's go.

This place is kind of dingy but the food's really...

Oh, shit.

I didn't even want to poop at the police station.

-Excuse me. -Take your time.

It's number two, it'll be a while. Feel free to eat first.

The smell of cigarettes really...

It's coming out...

This tastes terrible.

This is Park Gwang-sin.

Hello? I'm really sorry.

Mr. No Sang-cheon? What's keeping you?

On my way to the restroom,

there was a guy that looked like Jang Kang-chun, so I followed him.

God, I'm dying to poop. This is killing me.

Sorry, I'm going to take a little longer...

Hey, you!

What? Hello? Mr. No Sang-cheon!

So is everything taken care of?

Yes, I did as you asked.

But I think No Sang-cheon saw Song Young-jin.

What?

Song Young-jin's not in Seoul right now.

Don't waste your time and get back.

Yes, sir.

Fucker.

What is this?

Nice picture.

Goodness.

An assemblyman's advisor participating in prostitution.

How old are you? You're cute.

KANG GO-EUN

Anyway...

we can assume she's a minor.

You and the assemblyman can suck it.

Are you out of your mind?

Who's going to believe this?

You're an ex-convict and I'm an elite member of this community.

Elite?

You think so? Then why don't we both go down?

I'll tell the whole fucking world you're complicit with scammers!

-What? -Feels a little unfair, doesn't it?

Isn't it frustrating? Almost like you were scammed yourself?

That's exactly how I feel, you prick!

But how did you...

How did I know?

Assemblyman Kim slipped up yesterday.
