FADE IN:

INT. LEE KNOW'S OFFICE – DAY

Lee Know's office is filled with boxes, files and documents. All the boxes are labeled with names of companies and executives. Only one of them is of a regular person, Y/N.

Amidst the mess is Lee Know, asleep, his face leaning on his fists at his desk.

LEE KNOW: Yes! Yes!

He's woken up by his loud alarming ring tone.

LEE KNOW: Where's it...

He searches under the piles in front of him, and finally finds his phone.

LEE KNOW [INTO PHONE]: Hello?

He rubs his droopy eyes, as he listens to the person on the other end.

LEE KNOW [INTO PHONE]: Isn't that Choi's job? Why're you asking me?

The door opens, he glances at Han who's staring judgmentally at his pile as he walks in.

LEE KNOW: Like I said, ask Choi!

He hangs up, his gaze flicking to Han who still hasn't figured out how to walk past the pile.

LEE KNOW: What're you doing here?

HAN: Bang Chan, he says its important.

LEE KNOW: Wh-

He remembers today's date.

LEE KNOW: Right.

He stands and darts out the office, bolting past Han on his way out.

HAN: Ya, wait for me-

CUT TO:

INT. BANG CHAN'S OFFICE – DAY

Bang Chan works at his desk. Jun Ho, sitting opposite to him, hands Bang Chan the hardbound files he needs to sign, one at a time.

JUN HO: This is the last one for now.

BANG CHAN: Thank You.

Lee Know pushes the door open and enters with Han.

LEE KNOW: We're here.

Bang Chan gives them an acknowledging look.

BANG CHAN: Have a seat.

Lee Know and Han settle on the chairs, next to Jun Ho.

BANG CHAN: I have an important announcement to make.

He closes the file in front of him.

HAN: What is it?

BANG CHAN: I'll keep it simple. I'm going to make the gang legit.

Very silent reactions. Lee Know smiles, he clearly knew about this. Bang Chan can't understand what Han's feeling as his reaction is to just stare.

BANG CHAN: It was father's last wish and vision for the gang, and I'm going to make it happen.

Jun Ho's face eases into a smile.

JUN HO: I knew you'd do something like this... I'm proud of you.

Han tries clear his ears. He doesn't think he really heard him right.

BANG CHAN [TO JUN HO]: Your approval means a lot to me.

Jun Ho smiles, looking down to read his watch.

JUN HO: I need to go prepare for tomorrow.

BANG CHAN: Yes.

Jun Ho stands, followed by everyone else in the room. He shakes Bang Chan hand.

BANG CHAN: Thank you.

Jun Ho pats his shoulder and walks out. Bang Chan sits back down, now looking at Han who's baffled.

HAN: Legi-like legit legit? You meant legit, as in legit. Legit?

BANG CHAN: Yes.

Han collapses onto his chair.

HAN: Wha-Can a gang bec- how does a gang become legit?!

LEE KNOW: He said it was father's last wish, can't you be understanding-

HAN: Did Oxford change the definition of legit? Does it mean something else now? Nobody told me.

Lee Know sighs.

BANG CHAN: The meaning hasn't changed. You heard it right.

Han can't be talked to now; he's lost his mind.

LEE KNOW: Let him be. I've gotten things ready for today. She'll be here by 12.

HAN: Who?...

CUT TO:

INT. WON HAE'S CAR – AFTERNOON

Y/n isn't sitting alone in the back of the car. Beside her is a very agitated Won Hae. He doesn't make eye contact with her – He's evidently hiding something.

Y/N: What is today's job about? You haven't told me anything about it.

She looks out the window, mystified as to where they're going. SNIFF...SNIFF... Y/n's eyebrows raise, she looks back at Won Hae - is he crying?

Y/N: Sir?

He clears his throat covering up his sobs before finally looking at her.

WON HAE: I never thought this day would come.

Y/n's thoughts are racing, she pushes herself against the door, squeezing herself in the little space that is left - Is he going to kill me?

Y/N: What does that mean?

WON HAE: I remember working with you for the first time, like it was yesterday.

Y/N: Wha-What?

WON HAE: Take care, don't let them overwork you.

Y/N: Sir you're scaring me, what're you talking about?

WON HAE: I'm really sorry, I had to do this.

Y/n's going to have a heart attack by the time he gets to the point.

WON HAE: You're a very smart person Y/n. You'll do great.

Y/N: Why're you doing this?

The car comes to a halt.

Y/N: What is this place?

WON HAE: They may seem like idiots at first but they'll take care of you.

Y/n looks out: I should've told mom and dad I loved them.

Won Hae climbs out first and opens Y/n's door for her. She stays inside.

Y/N: Where am I going?

WON HAE: They're not bad people. Well, they kind of are but don't worry.

Y/N: What job are you giving me?

LEE KNOW: You're here.

She looks at Lee Know, standing meters away from the car, on the porch of the apartment building.

Y/N: Who's he?

WON HAE: Come out. It's time.

He restricts his sobs. Y/n gets herself to climb out.

CUT TO:

EXT. NONDESCRIPT APARTMENT COMPLEX – AFTERNOON

Won Hae pats Y/n's shoulder, as Lee Know starts toward them.

Y/N: Why're you doing this to me?

WON HAE: I'm sorry. I had no choice.

She goes silent, as Lee Know reaches them.

LEE KNOW: I'm Lee Know.

He offers a handshake. Y/n thinking he's pulled out a gun, braces herself.

Y/N: Don't!

Lee Know stares, obscured.

Y/n notices he's not holding a gun - Oh.

Y/N: Sorry.

Just when she's about to shake his hand, Lee Know withdraws.

LEE KNOW: We'll get to the introductions later. We should get going.

WON HAE: Please take good care of her...Goodbye Y/n.

He chokes up.

Y/N: You're leaving me? Why?-Sir. Sir!

Won Hae quickly gets in his car, Y/n helplessly watches it pull away.

LEE KNOW: Follow me.

He steps into the building, Y/n's feet are glued to the ground.

CUT TO:

INT. MEETING ROOM – AFTERNOON

The door is pushed open. Lee Know looks into the room and back at Y/n who's hiding behind.

LEE KNOW: Let's go in. They already started.

He steps back, Y/n doesn't want to go in first.

Y/N: You-You should go in...please...

Lee Know shrugs his shoulder – What are you so scared of?

He walks in, Y/n slowly follows. There are people already seated in the room: Bang Chan, Heo Jun Ho, Han and Chang Bin. Her brain hurts when she recognizes Bang Chan – I'm in JBG. I'M SURELY NOT MAKING IT OUT ALIVE.

LEE KNOW: Sit.

Y/N: Huh? Yes. Yes.

Her feet miraculously help her reaches the big table. Petrified, she sits on the only available chair, beside Bang Chan.

BANG CHAN: ...His software is protected by the latest yet to be released government software?

HAN: Yes.

Y/n's breathing is shaky. She fiddles with her hands – They're going to kill me. This is where I die.

No one's attention is on her, it's on the projector at the end of the room.

BANG CHAN: If he only publishes his articles once in two months, where is he getting all this money?

Y/n holds her breath: If I get shot, I'll die instantly, yeah, that wouldn't hurt.

HAN: Hush money. He knows a lot.

Y/n stares at her shoes, scared one wrong move will get her killed - Will they find my body for the funeral?

BANG CHAN: So, we can't hack his system nor can we physically get the money.

HAN: Um. Yes.

She unintentionally glances at Chang Bin sitting ahead, glaring at Y/n – Is he going to be the one who kills me?

The entire conversation between Bang Chan and his task force doesn't even reach Y/n's ears.

BANG CHAN: What do you think?

He asks Y/n.

Whereas Y/n: I can't believe after all I did for him, he sent me to my death.

LEE KNOW: Y/n?

All eyes on her.

HAN: Excuse me? ... Anyone in there?

He waves his hand in front of her face. Y/n finally looks up, her gaze immediately crashes down – Did I do something wrong? I wasn't doing anything!

Y/N: I'm sorry.

HAN: Ugh...

BANG CHAN: What would you do?

Y/N: Hu-Huh?

She doesn't know if she's allowed to respond to him.

BANG CHAN: What would you do, if you were handling this?

Y/n stares, confused.

Y/N: Me-Me?

Bang Chan nods.

Y/N: You-You-Ugh...Well...

She shuts up with her tone faltering. She looks at the screen, the bank records of a Mr. Jake Bishop, a lot of money was wired to his account. Being a freelance reporter, with published work in all the major newspapers and magazines doesn't explain all the money he's accumulating.

Y/N: Um...

BANG CHAN: Go on. Say it.

Y/n rubs her sweaty palms on her pant - If only it was that easy. Chang Bin fakes a cough, clearly impatient.

Y/N [MUTTERS]: You're wrong...

BANG CHAN: What?

Y/N [MUTTERS]: You're-You're wrong.

CHANG BIN: What?!

Y/n flinches.

BANG CHAN: How am I wrong?

Y/N: He's not being bribed.

LEE KNOW: What do you mean? Politicians, CEOs, and directors, everyone whom he has not written about, ever, has bribed him. Clearly for not writing about them.

Y/N: That's... one side of the picture. But it's not bribes. It's an addiction.

She's proud of herself for getting some words out if not all.

BANG CHAN: Elaborate.

Y/n looks at him, sensing her life depends on this.

Y/N: By addiction, I mean gambling. All the transaction Ids end with kps or klt. This is the ID of the online game ReQi Poker.

Han zooms in on the Ids – It's possible.

Y/N: This man, gambles with the rich. He does not get bribes; he wins the money. That explains the multiple deposits per day.

Lee Know and Chang Bin check their files, why didn't they realize?

Y/N: He's cheating, obviously.

She goes quiet again. Bang Chan looks at Lee Know who nods – She's right.

BANG CHAN: If only his software wasn't so protected, we could've hacked into his account.

LEE KNOW: What if we get him to move his money? Send in a threat, make him move it to some other account that we can access.

HAN: We can use the information we have against him.

BANG CHAN [TO Y/N]: Do you have any ideas?

Y/N: Yes...

All eyes dart to her again, putting her on the spot. She feels very attacked making her regret her decision to talk.

Y/N: No...

CHANG BIN: You just said you did, are you lying?

Y/N: No!

JUN HO: Then what was it? You can tell us.

Y/N: Ugh...Um... there's an easier way. I'm not saying your ideas were bad-

LEE KNOW: What's your idea?

Y/n takes a deep breath.

Y/N: As you can see, this man gambles regularly, about (reads the screen) 9 times a day. We can get him to transfer money to us if um... he loses.

CHANG BIN: You're not making any sense.

Y/N: There's a method I use, where you can change the amount of money that is being transferred while its being transferred.

BANG CHAN: Just like you did with ours.

Shoot – She stares.

CHANG BIN: No wonder you made us lose 600 mill-

LEE KNOW: Continue.

Y/n's uncertain if she should.

BANG CHAN: I'm sorry, you were saying.

Y/N: Um... if... you make him lose a game that he plays with you, he'll have to transfer the money to one of your accounts.

She gets an approving nod from Bang Chan.

Y/N: You'll then have a... 2-minute window once the moneys on the move to change the amount to what you want it to be or even gain access to his account.

LEE KNOW: That could work... Why didn't I think of that? That's was easier than hacking into his bank a/c.

Bang Chan stares at Y/n, who's done, she's spoken her daily limit.

BANG CHAN: The Chinese funds...

Y/n: I'm so dead.

BANG CHAN: We were supposed to get them, it was in Mr. Ko's will too. How did you steal the money?

Y/N: I didn't... I...I just got him to change his will... Well, he doesn't know his will's changed tho... Sorry.

Bang Chan nods.

BANG CHAN: Join our gang.

Y/n looks at him, flabbergasted but not as much as Chang Bin.

Y/N: Huh?

BANG CHAN: I want you to work for JBG.

Y/n's brain is being processed in a blender.

Y/N: What?

CHANG BIN: He's asking you to join our gang!

Y/N: What?

Chang Bin sighs, disappointed at the sudden turn of events and at her.

Y/N: Why? Don't you want to kill me? I'm the reason you lost all that money...

BANG CHAN: Exactly, no one's ever done that to us before.

Y/N: So...

BANG CHAN: Work for us instead of working against us.

Y/N: Even so, I'm a part of another gang.... I can't just leave... I have a contract with them...

Bang Chan listens, opening a file.

BANG CHAN: You mean this contract?

He holds out a paper, Y/n's eyebrows raise – WHAT THE HELL?!

BANG CHAN: This is your contract, right?

Y/N: Ye-Yeah.

He tears it and drops it on the table, Y/n cups her mouth in shock.

BANG CHAN: Not anymore. And don't worry I had a chat with Won Hae myself, he's willing to let you go.

Y/N: He's what?

BANG CHAN: I would really appreciate it if you work with us.

Lee Know slides a contract to Y/n. This is happening way too fast.

Y/n: I'm losing my mind.

Jabbing her fingers to her temple she knows she's going to faint.

BANG CHAN: So, what do you say?

Y/N: Like I have a choice?

She didn't mean to say that out loud, or even get a reply for it.

BANG CHAN: No. Consider this, if you work with us, we'll no longer hold a grudge against you for the loses you have caused for this gang.

Han hands Y/n a pen. Y/n stares at the paper: What am I doing here?

BANG CHAN: It's your choice in the end.

Y/n scoffs, immediately covers it up with a cough. She grips the pen with shaking fingers, pressure mounting on her shoulders as she gulps, terrified.

BANG CHAN: I look forward to working with you.

He stands.

BANG CHAN: We're done here. Thank you all.

Han, Lee Know and Chang Bin bow to Bang Chan as he exits. Y/n's done signing the contract, her soul has left her body.

LEE KNOW: We'll send you your own copy, by tonight.

Y/n nods.

JUN HO: Welcome to the gang.

He smiles at her and leaves. Y/n is stuck on the chair – what the hell just happened?

CUT TO:

INT. JBG HEADQUATERS – EVENING

A lot of people are moving about. Y/n walks in, and has no idea where to go.

CHANG BIN: Here...

He says it softly, not wanting her to hear it. Y/n looks at him holding out a card key.

Y/N: What is it?

She reaches for it; Chang Bin pulls it away.

CHANG BIN: I don't get it. Why're you getting this?

Y/N: What is that?

CHANG BIN: Your room key obviously.

He looks away.

Y/N: What room?

She grabs the card key from his grip.

CHANG BIN: Duh. You'll be housed in this building.

Y/n stares.

Y/N: I'm supposed to live here?

Chang Bin is affronted.

CHANG BIN: You ungrateful- Ya. That's a luxury. Only senior members get to live in this building.

Y/N: Luxury? You're holding me hostage in here.

Chang Bin doesn't bother.

CHANG BIN: We'll be working together a lot, so let's get along.

It doesn't sound like he means it.

Y/n: What am I going to do? Will I ever be able to go back home-

Han walks up to her.

HAN: You're here.

Y/n looks at him.

HAN: Bang Chan is waiting for you.

Y/N: Why? Why now? Hasn't he said enough?

Han points to the lifts.

HAN: Follow me.

CUT TO:

INT. BANG CHAN'S OFFICE – LATE EVENING

Bang Chan has his nose deep in a file. He leans back against his chair when, Y/n steps in, she bows.

Y/N: You-You wanted to see me?

Bang Chan glances at her.

BANG CHAN: Yes. Sit down.

He looks back down at his file. Y/n unwillingly closes the door behind her and makes her way to his desk.

BANG CHAN: I assume you got your room key.

His gaze still on the file as she settles opposite to him.

Y/N: Yes. Oh! Thank you.

BANG CHAN: Don't take what they say to you personally. The members of this gang are not very comfortable with new comers.

Y/N: Ugh...I'll remember that.

He finally closes his file and looks at her.

BANG CHAN: I thought you might have questions.

Y/N: No! Not at all.

He can see right through her.

BANG CHAN: What is it?

Y/N: If you don't mind... Why me?

Bang Chan fixes her with a stern look. A cold shiver runs down Y/n's spine.

BANG CHAN: Because I know exactly who you are. Y/n.
