It's good to see you again.
Could we talk for a minute?
Sure.
Let's talk.
First things first.
- You're a fucking asshole! - Wait! Hear me out!
Come here!
- Wait! - Son of a bitch!
- I can't. - Ugh.
They're at it again, goddamn it.
Jesus, what are the cops getting paid for? They're fucking animals.
- I said come here! - Don't they know we have work to do too?
- What? You outta smart remarks? - We're the ones on our backs.
Get over here!
Get out.
I said get the fuck out!
Hey…
Wait, wait.
Don't go, don't go.
Uh…
Guess it's gonna be a long night.
But that's all right. I'm in no hurry.
Come on, asshole!
Goddamn it!
You still alive?
You came a long way to die.
- Hope it was worth it. - Your money.
Don't you want it back?
Yeah, I do.
Still got it?
I need you to find someone, and then it's yours.
The money. It's all yours once you find this guy.
Listen to me. Okay?
Who are you trying to find?
Me.
What the fuck does that mean?
Because
there's two of me.
And
I need your help.
Jesus Christ.
I…
Please. Please help me.
MOUSETRAP
I transferred the money as agreed.
That means we're done, right?
Right, Moon-jae?
Hey, Moon-jae?
Am I done?
Don't let your guard down until all the loose ends are wrapped up.
You'll just have to hold out until then.
Yeah, got it, got it. No worries, man.
And then do we, uh…
All right, then.
He looks exactly like you, the guy that cleaned you out?
And he's got the house and all your money, hmm?
You expect me to trust you?
If you were me, would you just believe it and say, "All right, sure"?
Hey, I couldn't believe it either.
It's the truth, okay?
Problem is, there's no way that I can prove it.
He's got my ID number, everything.
So legally, I'm not even the real Je Moon-jae, he is.
I guess I'm just a nobody, aren't I?
A sad nobody.
Dead or alive, I'm not even me.
I've gotta catch him.
The one who looks exactly like me.
And if I'm gonna do that, then I'll need your help.
To prove I'm Je Moon-jae.
You're the only hope I've got left now.
Goddamn it, why the hell should I help you?
I oughta kill you right here.
Your money's still out there. I get my name back, it's yours.
Oy.
Don't worry about money, I got plenty.
Money's not the issue.
The trouble is life.
It's a long life, and I'm getting tired.
All you've got to do is write.
You give me the copyright, and soon, I can make you fly, kid.
I'll get it made into a fucking movie.
- Okay? - Okay.
Hyung, if it turns out I lied, you can go ahead and kill me.
Why the hell are you calling me "hyung"?
You're not my brother, you understand, asshole? We clear?
You told me to, remember?
You live here?
Huh.
Hey.
- What is this? - Bought it for you, 'kay?
- Go ahead and write us a great story. - My computer's all right.
I already got it for you, so use it, 'kay? We're partners in all this now.
Thanks so much, sir.
Ah, shit, no. Hold on.
"Sir"? What, are we in the Mafia or something? Just "hyung" is fine.
Okay, hyung.
Finding people is easy, don't worry about that.
Believe me, I'm an expert.
If you're lying, or you stab me in the back,
then you'll die a long, slow death.
I'll make it painful.
Ah, fuck.
I can't believe I spent three years trying to find this fucking guy.
Now I gotta hunt down another fucking guy that looks like this fucking guy.
This is ridiculous. Goddamn it. Jesus.
Hey, there's another guy we need to find first.
Are you serious? The fuck?
Who is it now?
Soo-hyun. He said to take your cash and split.
He'll be easier to find. I know they're both in on it.
Why the…
Why the hell are you dragging me into this?
Listen closely.
You're gonna be a hostage, starting right now.
If I don't get every penny, I'm gonna cut your prick off right then and there.
I think you'd better try awfully hard to get that money back.
- Okay. - Ah! You fucking asshole.
Can't believe this.
Is this really necessary? It's ridiculous.
How am I supposed to sleep tied up like this?
How about you just loosen it? Just a little bit?
PRIVATE DETECTIVE AGENCY
What's this?
Did he get caught already?
Huh?
Hmm.
Or else he must've gone there on his own. Huh.
Oh.
Well, this is interesting.
Are you open yet? Anyone here?
We don't open until noon. Lunch service doesn't start until then.
Wait. I'm not here to order anything.
Uh, you know Kim Yeong-geun, right?
Can you tell me where he's hanging out these days? Do you know?
Can you help?
Sorry, don't know the guy.
Huh?
I heard you used to work together, right?
Ah, shit.
All right, just relax and tell me where he is.
Who is it that wants to know?
I'm a cop, okay? So there you go.
Huh.
Ugh, really? Come on.
What reason do you have to go looking for him?
He's gone straight. Jesus.
I know, everyone's gone straight, yeah.
Then it can't hurt to tell me what this straight guy's been doing, right?
Hey, it's nothing serious, don't worry. It'll just take a minute or two.
I just need to have a chat with him.
What's this about, then, exactly?
Man, I came here 'cause he's got a payment that's due.
A payment?
He was supposed to attend a summary judgment and he's blowing it off.
Fine's not even 200,000 won.
They're gonna seize his assets if he doesn't pay up. Got it?
I don't have time for this.
Have a nice day! Asshole.
PRIVATE DETECTIVE AGENCY
If I had just put that money into real estate, I'd be retired by now.
Ugh, you fucking asshole.
How in the hell did I end up here with you?
I'm an idiot for assuming I could get a fresh start.
Going from a gangster to some sort of businessman,
does that really change who you are?
Huh.
That's just identity fraud, too.
Don't poke the bear, kid. It can be a dangerous thing.
Thanks to you, I'm not a new person, I'm still just the same piece of shit.
And you don't wanna mess with me. You understand?
Sorry, sir, I'll try to remember that.
All right, we better head out.
To chase down the asshole who stole the cash that you stole from me.
He might have his address logged
with some sort of local accountants' organization or something.
For certain professions, it's important to join associations like that.
You listening?
Yeah, I hear you, all right?
I've got another idea, so just keep your big mouth shut.
So where we headed?
Go to a little college reunion.
The guy who had the reunion photo.
You mentioned it helped you get to their party, right?
You know where he is? How?
Know the biggest problem with you kids?
You write all this personal info online without a thought.
I checked his blog and Instagram. His personal details were right there.
If you can hack someone's phone,
you can ruin their lives with the tap of a finger.
You don't even think about the shit you post online.
And they're trying to pull all this illegal shit.
It's stupid to post anything. You got that?
PLASTIC SURGEON JEON KYEONG-TAE
Wow, guess you really know your way around a knife, huh?
Look at that! You're… you're basically makin' a face outta nothing!
Now, this is identity fraud, am I right?
Seriously! You're completely changing someone's face! Come on.
- How is that not illegal? Gotta be, right? - Hey!
Hey, Kyeong-tae, how can you not remember me?
I'm Moon-jae, all right? Je Moon-jae!
And you're-
Yes, your last name is Jeon. You're Jeon Kyeong-tae!
We went to school together!
You guys can't be serious. This is ridiculous, come on!
So call the cops, I don't care.
Oh, I get it. You think I won't call the police.
Huh?
- Give me the phone, I-- - Shh!
You really don't wanna test me, kid.
Uh…
SON SOO-HYUN
The number you have dialed is not currently in service.
- Please check the number… - Bastard has gone underground. Shit.
Today's your lucky day.
You can't go into crowded places?
Or into wide-open spaces, or even just narrow spaces?
Kid, you got so many hang-ups. Huh?
Goddamn. You're worse than a fucking wife.
Now and then, you're okay.
And then suddenly, you're not.
It's all guilt 'cause you took my money.
Chose the wrong guy to steal from!
Hmm.
I just get anxiety attacks, all right?
I'm out of my fucking meds, and I need those.
Dumbass, how about that doctor? I bet he coulda gotten you some meds.
All you had to do was fuckin' ask.
It's because Soo-hyun always got 'em, all right? Jeez.
Quit lookin' at me. I'm not your errand boy, you got it?
Did someone say that?
We're a team, though, right? A team!
We're both in this together now!
Huh. Just listen to you all of sudden.
Hey, move.
Take these. Just try to hang in there for now.
Are these meds?
One's a painkiller, and I don't know what the other one is.
Hang on.
What are these gonna do? They're different meds!
Haven't you ever heard of a placebo, dumbass?
It's all about your fucking mindset!
Who is this guy? The one that's taken everything from me?
Soo-hyun brought him to the reunion.
I'd guess it was a year back?
We didn't recognize him at first,
but then we thought he did sorta look like the guy in the graduation photo.
He said he was Moon-jae.
Believe me now? Those two planned it all.
None of this makes any sense, all right?
Moon-jae just went out with me to grab some drinks recently.
He told me that he's some big-shot writer now, too.
Hang on. Wait.
if you are who you say you are,
why can't you remember our school trip, then?
That's not something you could forget!
Moon-jae remembered it clearly when we talked.
Hey, you keep mentioning that over and over again, the trip.
So what's going on here?
Clearly it's important, so tell me what happened back then!
The building caught fire and it burned.
All the students had to hurry and evacuate. It was a total mess!
You don't remember that?
How does that make sense?
Are you him? Je Moon-jae?
He got plastic surgery to hack into your accounts?
Why? He coulda taken the money out.
Your crappy friend put it all under his name, right?
Yeah, but still Je Moon-jae's earnings originally.
No one even thinks I'm Moon-jae, okay?
So if you went to the authorities, you'd be seen as some impersonator?
That's what I bet, yeah.
They're the ones who used your credit card, then?
That's how they got me to track you down.
Hmm? 'Cause you'd be dead,
once I caught up to you,
and their hands are clean.
So why'd they warn me that I needed to run away?
Wouldn't they want you to finish me off?
So in that case, maybe their work isn't over?
Like, say, your account hasn't been emptied out just yet?
Sure, I guess, yeah.
Hmm. Pretty clever guy.
You admire him.
Huh? You little bastard, what the fuck?
Where are we heading now?
Uh…
All right, so where are we going?
Seriously? God.
You're wasting time. I already checked here, like I told you.
Yeah, I bet you wasted time, but I'm not going to, believe me.
That's not…
Hey, you getting in?
It's just, uh…
Elevators are too, um…
For Christ's sakes.
Uh…
Stairs are great exercise, kid!
When you scratch someone's car, you leave your number!
That's what decent people do! Huh?
Hey, you… you're all witnesses! You heard me?
Isn't that right?
Damn, this country's going downhill!
Just a minute, sir.
He doesn't work here anymore, so let me check the parking log.
Look, it's here. A white BMW. Does that sound right?
- White? Yeah, that's it. - Okay.
Got the plate for that car?
Uh, the plate number is…
Hey, we're done here.
See you downstairs.
No, that's not it, just hang on.
Yeah, it's white, 5-3-4-0.
All right, got it. Make it happen, then!
You get anything?
ENTER AMOUNT 2,000,000 WON
Okay.
Hey, did you find him?
Kid, you have to be just a little patient here.
Who was that?
None of your business. I got my methods, okay?
WHITE BMW 5340 1,500,000 WON REWARD
WHITE BMW 5340 WANTED
Money exchange. Hmm.
Ugh, seriously? Shit
Oh, so I guess you don't mind if I smoke, then? Huh?
Hmm. Great.
Guess not, huh?
Oh, yeah, I know!
Said he got wine, though!
What kind of business is this?
What do you think? It's a business, all right?
- Okay? - Oh! Oh, he was…
Uh-huh. But I don't see any computers or desks.
So how about you just level with me?
Hey, girls!
- Hello! - Hello.
- Hello! - Look, miss.
It doesn't matter much to me. I'm not trouble, 'kay?
Do you know the guy upstairs?
- Why? - I'm just curious.
- I don't want to say anything, okay? - Hey, don't worry.
I'll keep you out of it. Life's complicated enough, you know?
Hey, it's the truth, it's okay.
He finds people, that's all I know.
Well, PIs do that kinda thing.
He's different.
He can find anyone, even unregistered people.
Like, if you skip out on your debt, he's gonna show up at your door.
Oh, and those guys who run those illegal gambling sites?
- Mm-hmm? - They come around here all the time.
I think they caught some runaway yesterday.
Beat the shit out of her.
Someone should stop them, don't you think?
I guess so.
So, let's, uh…
Please just make sure he doesn't know I talked?
'Cause frankly, he scares the shit out of me.
Every time I run into him in the hallway, my blood turns cold.
Sounds rough.
Here.
SEOUL DONGBU POLICE STATION PARK SUN-YONG
Let's keep in touch, hmm?
Hey, cop?
Just leave me out of this.
I'll do my best, okay?
Hmm. Okay. I'll see ya.
Shit. Yeah, but…
- Oh! - Yeah. It's pretty nice. Yeah.
- Oh, the plants are so… Yeah. - Yeah.
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE, SO DON'T WORRY IT'S ALMOST OVER, OKAY?
It's almost over.
It's almost over. It's almost over.

SEOUL DELIVERY RIDERS ASSOCIATION WHITE BMW 5340 WANTED
Funeral money doesn't have anything in common with this Buddhist sutra.
Hey, you should pay attention. Practice gratitude.
It's thanks to this you're still alive.
Why does this guy look so familiar?
Must be 'cause he looks like such a douche.
Wow, it's actually shocking he's still active on social media.
I saved it earlier this morning.
Now the son of a bitch closed it already.
Early this morning?
You work hard, huh?
You're goddamn right. Otherwise, they run off on ya.
Nothing in life comes easy, kid.
It's all just fucking exhausting. What are you gonna do?
You should've worked a little harder chasing me.
You kept yourself locked up in that goddamn place for three years!
How was I supposed to catch you?
Fuck you!
Yeah?
Okay, I got it. Send the address to me real quick.
What is it? You found Soo-hyun?
Yeah, and he's still in Seoul. Why the fuck would he stick around here?
If I were him, I'd have run like hell.
So maybe you're right. He's gotta tie up loose ends.
Who are you?
Do I know you?
- What, what? - Oh, shit.
RUN AWAY. RIGHT NOW
Uh, what the hell?
- Stay put, kid! - Are you okay, sir?
Ah, shit.
- Fuck. - What?
Oh, shit.
Shit!
This fuck.
Hey, kid, you all right?
You lazy son of a bitch. Jesus.
So your buddy was following me, is that what you said?
Yeah.
I noticed it the other day. I caught him.
I shoulda handed the guy his ass right then.
I didn't know he was the one we were looking for.
Ditched his car.
Guess he's in a hurry.
So we wait for him to come back for his car?
He might not come back.
Goddamn it.
Still, it's all pretty strange, huh?
The timing is way too perfect.
He's one step ahead, and we're stuck behind.
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, that's pretty much a bust.
Moron, this info's helpful.
Look here, check out these dates.
They're all from just a few days ago.
Bet he kept the camera off for days while he was driving around.
He knew that his car was gonna get searched if anything went wrong.
So what now? Is there, like, a…
plan B in this situation?
- Fueling is now complete. - Your expertise is finding people.
- Seventy thousand won. - Yeah.
Today's cost you two million won,
including gas, food, and labor.
- Please select a payment method. - I'm charging you. You know that, right?
- You hired a detective agency. - Payment complete.
- Please remove your card. - This shit isn't free.
Aren't I a hostage? Why should I pay you?
You're a client and a hostage.
- So where are we headed? - Just shut the fuck up.
I'm a hostage and a client? That's just great, then.
I guess it's all up to you, huh? Well, fuck you!
Plan B, all right? You motherfucker. Happy?
These guys who run off and hide?
They may manage to get out, but guess what?
Their family can't hide. Why is that?
They got lives of their own. They can't just take off and run.
How do you know Soo-hyun's kid goes to kindergarten here?
On Insta.
Ah. Course, Insta.
- Hey! - What you doing?
We're gonna find out his address, right?
But you're a total stranger. Why the hell are they gonna talk to you?
You don't have a goddamn clue how the world works!
Christ. Close the door!
Open there.
Right. Give one to me.
What is all this?
DAEJEON METROPOLITAN POLICE
Ah, shit, it's too far from here. I can't take this. I need a closer one.
- Gimme one from Seoul! - Seoul… um…
SEOUL MAPO POLICE STATION
All right. You stay here.
Why?
Just stay here, moron! Think cops wear sweatpants?
Uh…
Well it's been a few days since Da-eun last came to kindergarten.
I called earlier, to check she's okay, and her mother said she needed a break.
Seems like a family matter came up.
Well, is there a problem?
I'm not sure. She just said that Da-eun's going to be out, just for a while.
I suppose I should stop by their house so I can ask them a few questions.
Um… So what's this about?
Da-eun's parents seem nice, they aren't criminals or anything.
Well, it's the ones that seem nice that will suddenly hit you over the head.
All right, thank you, miss. Appreciate it.
- Mm-hmm. - Take care.
Ah, sh…
Hello.
- Uh… - Hi, miss. Police.
- Ah, shit! - What the fuck?
- What the hell's going on? - What?
- Why are there cops here? - What the hell? Whoa!
Whoa! What are you doing?
- Watch out! Someone's there! - Shit! What the actual fuck is this?
Hey, whoa!
- Did he go that way? - No, I don't think so.
Ah, man.
Back in your seat, kid!
Ah, shit!
It's quiet around here.
The kindergarten talked to the cops. They won't still be here.
Get down. Get down! It's the cops.
- Get the hell down, goddamn it! - The police?
They're gone.
Are they here for Soo-hyun?
Why? I didn't report this to the authorities.
Who can say?
What the hell's he been doing, huh?
Jesus, you sure know how to pick your friends, don't you?
You broke the window of his car.
The cops wouldn't show up at his kid's school 'cause of that.
Ah, damn it.
We gotta get him before the police can.
Otherwise all that money's going to the government. Fuck!
Try not to worry. Everything will be fine.
And hey, maybe when I'm done,
we all take a trip together, huh?
You said you wanted a break, didn't you, sweetheart?
I mean, Da-Eun hasn't started school.
I'd like to show her more of the world.
Police?
I asked you to just keep being patient.
We're so close. Why can't you just understand that?
Why, goddamn it?
Huh.
Shit.
So…
I think the only thing we've had to eat yet is a hamburger, it seems like, huh?
I'm kinda gettin' hungry.
Come on, man, food sounds good.
Is it your treat, then?
I haven't got money, you know that.
- Soo-hyun has blocked all my cards. - How did he get into your phone, anyway?
Well, Soo-hyun's the one who got everything. Stupid question.
I…
Gimme.
Gimme your cell!
Hey, hang on, no! Why, why, why, why, why?
That's how he's been staying ahead of us.
He's got some kind of location app on your phone. Jesus!
He's always been able to track us!
Oh, goddamn it! You're such an idiot!
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Well, so…
Ugh. Oh, shit!
Isn't that something you should…
Whoa!
What, what?
Hey, go get your phone back.
Go on.
HAN-SU
He's like a fucking stalker.
Jesus.
- Yes, Mr. Kim? - Where are you now?
Didn't you ask me to chase that lead?
But you said it was just a prank.
Yeah, I thought so.
But something about it's still bothering me.
You playin' hooky?
Boss, what are you trying to say? Gimme a break.
So what? Our other cases don't matter?
We've been working our asses off, but you haven't shown your face all day long!
- Just hang on. - Hey, hey.
Just wrap it up and turn the report in.
I should at least meet up with that son of a bitch Noja first.
Or what the hell am I to report?
What am I supposed to do?
So were you able to find the bastard, at least?
ESCORT LADY HE JUST CAME IN
Yeah, I just got him! Hell, yeah! I found him!
I'll talk to him now.
Just give me some time and I'll wrap this fucker. Goddamn it. Jesus.
Huh?
Can't you eat normally?
Shit.
Age before beauty.
Such an asshole.
Hey, hurry up and eat.
We'd better head out.
Out?
- Where to? - You'll see.
From now on, try not to say where you're taking me. 'Kay?
Absolutely do not tell me.
Try to tell me something, and you'll-
Fishing.
Eat up, hurry.
I'm all done.
Got rid of the one at the morgue, right?
Not yet, no.
Better hurry up and burn it.
Yeah.
PRIVATE DETECTIVE AGENCY
She said he was out back, but all the lights are off.
Goddamn it. What the fuck? Ugh.
Who the hell is he?
Who, that guy? He's the asshole from yesterday.
Noja really beat him up.
Lot of unfamiliar faces.
What the hell is goin' on?
Well, this is interesting. They were up there beating the shit out of each other,
and now they're best friends?
Hah. All right, fuckers. Here we go.
How do you know for sure if he'll show?
'Cause he's obsessed with you.
Where you're at, and what you're doing.
He tracked you in real time using that stupid phone.
He'll check, 'cause he'll think I killed you out there.
GWANGNAM RESERVOIR
Hey, give me a tissue, man.
Hey, dude, back it up. Pull us back, okay?
Okay.
Ah, shit.
We'll probably be here for a while.
Better lie down, get comfy.
This is a really good place to bury a body.
I guess you've done a lot of that in your day, probably.
Hmm.
Would they care if I died?
This would've gone easier for them if I had died.
If they wanted to kill you, trust me, you'd be dead by now.
Since they can't let you die yet, they'll have to come for you.
And that's the reason we came fishing tonight.
Soo-hyun. It's Moon-jae.
We need to talk.
There's one thing I'm gonna have you go check on.
Just in case, you know?
Take the bait!
