The transaction's complete.
Thank you for your cooperation.

I just got some information.
Forget about Ryang-Ha Song for now.
Nice to meet you.
Our client was killed.
Y'know, I feel sorry for you,
getting into all this trouble because of him.
Say hi to him for me.
Tell him, "It's time to face the music, traitor."
Is this all your doing?
Do you seriously believe it is?
Morning!
You sure slept well.
We still have time until checkout.
What should we...
Maybe she's not a morning person.
By the way, you haven't changed since yesterday, have you?
You and your clothes are covered in mud.
Why don't you go take a shower?
Shoot.
I was attacked, and...
Is this all your doing?
I must have fallen asleep.
He went outside.
A towel?
I'm back.
She's not in the bathroom...
What are you doing?
My clothes...
What did you do with my clothes?
Well, they were dirty, so I'm getting them cleaned at the laundromat right now.
A-All of them?!
Yeah.
I tossed it all in the wash, jacket and underwear and all.
Jacket and underwear and all...
Wait, is women's underwear not machine-washable?
That's not the point!
Oh, right. You don't have anything to—
Yikes. Why is she so angry?
Here. They're dry.
They're nice and warm.
Yes.
Sorry for worrying you.
I'll explain further when I get back.
Goodbye.
Did you get in trouble?
For sleeping over?
Huh? Where are you going?
They're coming from the office to pick me up.
What?
I said I'd give you a ride.
I never asked.
Oh, come on.
Oh, right, hang on.
You forgot this.
No wonder I couldn't find it!
It's completely busted, though.
And you totaled your car.
You're gonna be in deep trouble.
I apologize...
for...
all the trouble.
Wow, didn't expect that.
But don't sweat it.
It's not like it cost me anything.
Except that you got hurt.
And I think I know why...
What?
Never mind.
Also, I'd prefer thanks to an apology.
Like a "thank you very much." Or an "I'll never forget this."
By the way, my attacker asked me to tell you...
"It's time to face the music, traitor."
Perhaps you know what he's talking about.
Well, if you'll excuse me...
You could've told me sooner.
5 Years Ago
An executive nominee?
Him?!
Lower your voice, Hou.
But...
The old man is going to announce it at the executive meeting today.
It's already a done deal.
What?!
He's only been here for three years!
I know the boss loves him, but that's way too sketchy!
Calm down, Hou.
He's still only a nominee.
It'll be ten, twenty years in the future.
That's not what I'm...
Oh, Seung-Woo.
I've been meaning to talk to you.
The others said they'd be here soon.
Could I have a minute of your time?
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
Damn it!
Sorry about that, Ryang-Ha.
Don't let it get to you.
No, he's right.
I don't think I'm cut out for it, either.
It's really eating at him that you're getting promoted
when he was here first.
Be gentle with him.
I envy Hou, though.
He's so free.
That's the kind of comment that pisses him off.
I'm just being honest.
Really.
They've just arrived.
There's no telling what'll happen.
Be on your guard.
Hou's poutier than ever today.
He's angry because Seung-Woo is giving Ryang-Ha all the attention.
I heard Ryang-Ha's even been nominated to join the executives.
It's not just that.
Something's just not right about him.
Seung-Woo.
Hey, evening.
Done making the rounds?
Yeah.
Want a smoke?
Thanks, but I'll pass.
Right. You don't smoke.
I'm sorry.
Though, like it or not, you'll have to play along going forward.
You can become a target for the pettiest of reasons.
A lot of people find you annoying.
Be careful.
Oh, right...
Keep your schedule clear tomorrow.
Let's go out for dinner with Hou.
We have to celebrate for you.
Although, he gets upset when I say that.
Tomorrow?
Hou's got his problems, but so do you.
You do have a tendency to provoke him.
Why don't you two sit down and talk it out for once?
It'd be great if you could get along.
I'm sorry. I can't make it tomorrow.
Seriously, what's going on?
You don't pick up the phone, and your car runs off a cliff...
I'd like an explanation from the top.
Are you listening, Chateau?!
I'd prefer thanks to an apology.
I'm exhausted.
Chateau, I expect an explanation.
She's asleep.
Argh!
Chateau, you can raise your head already.
I need more than "I'm sorry" to understand.
I'm asking you what happened.
Explain!
I'll pay for the car.
You have my apologies.
Fine, just tell me one thing.
Are you already in contact with Ryang-Ha Song?
I'm sorry.
Boss, Chateau just left.
Is that okay?
Boss?
Welcome home.
Your place looks tiny.
And it's so far from the station. And so old.
Why are you here?
How did you even find out—
Oh, come on.
I just came to make sure you're okay.
I don't need your concern.
Please leave.
What do you want?
You're going to let me in, aren't you?
Here, look.
I even brought a gift.
It's from a really popular shop.
I waited in line for half an hour.
Wait, are you putting your guard up?
Well, that's not nice.
I'm only doing this as part of our business relationship.
I can't have him camping out, either...
Oh, may I?
Yay!
Please take your shoes off at the door.
Thanks for having me.
It's a studio apartment.
You don't have a bed, huh?
Isn't this room too small for you?
I know it's just you here, but...
Oh, these are cream puffs, by the way.
We shouldn't need cream or sugar for our tea.
Oh, is this a sofa bed?
It's a little small for me.
Hey, is this you?
Are these your parents in this photo with you?
That's none of your business.
It's not, but I am interested.
It's about you, after all.
Aw, are you not having any?
Come on. I haven't spiked them or anything.
Are you done with work for the day?
You came home pretty late.
Did you get punished or something?
Oh, boy. Right on the money, huh?
I feel responsible.
Did they put you on probation?
My agency knows that I'm in contact with you.
So?
"So"?
Actually, your boss shouldn't be able to get between us.
Now that they've made a profit off of me,
they'll be the ones in trouble if word gets out.
If anything, they'll either try to continue making use of me,
or they'll have you get rid of me to cover it up.
What you do is up to you.
I don't get it.
You're well aware that you're putting your own safety on the line.
I don't understand what you stand to gain by being in contact with me.
What about you?
What? I—
We're both putting ourselves at risk, aren't we?
In fact, you just had a brush with danger.
Because of something concerning me.
If you're so wary of me, why haven't you rejected me?
Couldn't you capture me in this situation if you make use of your men?
Well?
What are you really looking to get out of me?
What are you...
I'm not home at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello? It's me, Mom.
I'm sorry. I know you're busy with work.
You haven't contacted me in a while.
Shouldn't you get that?
The anniversary of your dad's death is coming up soon, remember?
Can you make it home?
Call me when you can.
Bye.
5:05 PM. One recorded message.
I came at a bad time.
Sorry. I'll go.
Oh, right...
You shouldn't let strangers into your place so easily.
There are some bad people out there.
I'll contact you again.
