DECOY

EPISODE 11. THE NAIVE

I have an ulterior motive.

Let's make a deal, Captain Gu.

I need you

to help me.

Then,

I'll help you catch the killer.

Who are you planning to take your revenge on?

Jung So-ram was thrilled,

at the thought of finally returning to Korea.

YEAR 2022, CHINA

And also, when you go to Korea...

go and see Kim Seong-dae.

We're going to need a good plan.

But I don't want to meet him,

nor show myself looking like this.

Like that matters.

Don't you think it's unfair?

We have been on the run, restless at heart every day.

But the fuckers who took all my money

live with their heads held high!

So what are you going to do?

Revenge...

How?

Unfortunately,

she came and got killed.

Forget about getting revenge.

She was looked down on by Kim Seong-dae.

So you're going to get revenge on the ones who gave you protection.

Protection?

You have it backwards.

Captain Gu, you're quite naive.

To be frank,

I don't care who those murderers kill.

I want to use this opportunity to get revenge.

-That's why you came to the station. -Yes.

It was to catch them off guard?

To get revenge,

I needed to recruit helpers while keeping myself safe.

And...

that's supposed to be me?

Captain Gu, listen carefully.

In this field,

trust is everything.

After we catch the killers,

I'll give you all the proof you need to prove my backers guilty.

You take charge and bring it to light.

You're bold enough for that, aren't you?

I'll get my revenge,

and you'll become a successful cop.

Doesn't it sound great?

Let's just focus on the murders.

When an opportunity comes, you're supposed to seize it.

If you wrap things up nicely,

I'd say you could even get into politics.

After all, you were a former attorney.

That's a good background to have.

Former attorneys enter politics

and do well for themselves.

I should tell Captain Gu.

Tell him what?

We should inform the cops

of the possibility that No Sang-cheon is in Korea.

What on earth are you talking about?

The police don't even believe that No Sang-cheon is alive.

Captain Gu...

sounded like he was convinced No Sang-cheon was alive.

Forget it.

Whatever he said, I don't trust the police.

Have you forgotten what Deputy Head Gang did to us?

Captain Gu will also betray us when push comes to shove.

He thinks fraud victims are nothing compared to murder victims.

Sang-bong is right.

Think of it this way.

Imagine the police found out No Sang-cheon was back before we did.

Would Captain Gu tell us?

He'll say we're an interference and tell us to butt out.

Then, all information jammed.

I'm sorry.

For making light

of all your suffering.

I now understand that fraud can sometimes be crueler

than murder.

No.

Captain Gu is different.

Can you trust Captain Gu?

It's pretty much out in the open that Xin Chang is No Sang-cheon.

Won't he tell the press?

Captain Gu is after the killer,

not No Sang-cheon.

If the press gets wind of it,

they will only report on No Sang-cheon and not the murders.

I'm sure Captain Gu understands that.

Darn it.

The anxiety is getting to me

with No Sang-cheon in Korea.

No Sang-cheon, that bastard.

I was meaning to take care of him after the cases get wrapped up,

but now the cops know he's here.

Take care of him?

How is that news to you?

Do you think we can sleep in peace with that man wandering around?

That asshole knows everything!

That's been ringing for a while now.

COMMISSIONER

You should pick it up.

Why don't you take out the phone those men gave you?

Wake up, you son of a bitch.

Where are the gold bars? Where are they?

Let's just go!

You better pick up when we give you a call on this.

Right.

Where...

I must be getting senile with age.

Where did I put it?

You know who the culprits are, don't you?

You can't go looking for the culprits

when you don't know who they are.

That just doesn't make sense.

You're right.

The bastards who threatened me.

When their tactics didn't work,

they resorted to such heinous crimes.

But...

now that I'm back,

those sons of bitches achieved their goal.

Who are they?

Come on.

I can't reveal that so easily.

It's the only card I have. Look.

If you were in my shoes, would you reveal who they were?

If I told you, you would put me in jail

and search for them on your own.

Want me to tell you something?

Those bastards...

They used to be Special Forces. But they gambled their lives away.

You know, the typical sort who are good fighters,

but have nothing up here.

That's it for today.

If you help me with my revenge,

I'll consider feeding you information little by little, like I did today.

You know what's ironic about this?

You keep going on and on about revenge.

What about the victims?

You ruined their lives

and it even cost some of their lives!

Have you ever even once thought about them?

Why should I?

Have you ever thought of apologizing to them?

Look here!

I'm the biggest victim here.

I spent all those years on the run and in hiding.

I even had to stage my own death!

Do you have any idea how tragic that is?

I couldn't sleep because I couldn't even catch my breath!

All my life,

I've served for the good of others. That's how I, No Sang-cheon, have lived!

YEAR 2011

BIGS NETWORK

How could this be? Hurry up.

Why isn't my money coming in? What's going on?

Ok-nam.

You didn't get your money today either?

It's been weeks already!

Something must have gone wrong.

I'm not sure.

I invested my life's savings after the customer appreciation event.

I heard other branches are closing down as well.

Shouldn't we report it to the police?

-To the police? -Yes!

They're going to close up shop and take off.

No way. I doubt that.

One of the employees said

that if we went to the police,

we won't get a cent of our money.

They said that if we sit back and wait,

the money will be wired...

Wait? As if!

Who's the manager here?

-But... -Darn it.

Give me my money!

BIGS Network?

You didn't get your money that was due?

Okay. I understand.

I have no idea what they're saying.

What did they say?

Even if it was a scam, it's hard to pin it as such.

-What? -What do you mean?

You're driving me nuts!

The Depositor Protection Act doesn't apply to such businesses.

-How are we supposed to just wait? -What?

Hey, what's happened over there?

The police stations are bombarded with complaints!

From all over the country!

It's a trivial matter. No need to worry.

A trivial matter?

How is this trivial?
