FADE IN:

INT. CORRIDOR - JBG HEADQUATERS – DAY

Lee Know concentrated on tapping away on his phone, is followed by Han and Chang Bin, down the corridor.

CHANG BIN: I'm telling you, she's sus!

Han rolls his eyes, he's heard enough. Lee Know's gaze still on his phone, speaks:

LEE KNOW: Just because she exists?

CHANG BIN: That too, but there's something she's hiding...My gut instincts are never wrong about these kinds of things and you know that.

HAN: Just stop-

CHANG BIN: She could be spying on us for some other gang, she may actually be a mole!

HAN: My brain is going to die, if I listen to you any longer.

CHANG BIN: Nobody cares if you die anyway.

HAN: What?

CHANG BIN: Lee Know! You know what I mean right?!

Lee Know exhales deeply, not replying. Chang Bin's infuriated.

CHANG BIN: Who goes on dates when they just got forcefully hired into a gang?! I feel ashamed for her parents.

They reach the meeting room. Lee Know holds the knob, and turns to face Chang Bin.

LEE KNOW: If you continue this in front of her...

He lets silence complete his threat. Chang Bin stares innocently.

CHANG BIN: What?

Lee Know pushes the door open. They walk in.

CUT TO:

INT. MEETING ROOM – DAY

Chang Bin walks in backwards, still trying to convince Lee Know and Han. Han's eyes widen looking over Chang Bin's shoulder.

CHANG BIN: I'm only stating facts. We shouldn't trust Y/n! She's bad news! We can't expect her to help Bang Chan make this gang legit!

He finally turns to face the table, and freezes. Y/n sitting at the table, stares, confused.

Y/N: Were you talking about me?

Chang Bin sinks, the time she shouted at him still has him feeling embarrassed.

CHANG BIN: Was I?

Y/N: I heard you say my name.

Lee Know oblivious to Chang Bin's pleading eyes, sits next to Y/n.

CHANG BIN: Why would I talk about you?

Han grins, sitting opposite to Lee Know.

Y/N: Well, you did.

CHANG BIN: Don't you think you talk back to me too many times?

Y/n remembers her chances of getting killed just for breathing, she smiles, awkwardly.

Y/N: Sorry.

Chang Bin settles on a chair. Hearing the door click open, everyone rises from their chair. Jun Ho walks in with a smile as a response to Lee Know, Han, Y/n and Chang Bin's greetings.

JUN HO: Good morning.

Bang Chan follows behind. He sits at the head of the table, adjacent to Jun Ho. The rest settle back into their seats.

LEE KNOW: Here are the accounts.

He hands Bang Chan the file, who reads the contents for the next few moments. Y/n is the only one on the room who's tensed up.

BANG CHAN: Ok.

He nods in approval, handing the file back to Lee Know.

BANG CHAN: How are the members taking the news?

CHANG BIN: They're obviously startled... but when they found out it was your father's wish...well they won't protest or try to stop you openly. But we're keeping our eyes and ears open for any signs of dissent.

BANG CHAN: Good.

His gaze flicks to Han.

HAN: We're in the clear for the Russian job. The police are focusing on the Krainian gang as suspects.

Bang Chan looks at Y/n, she has nothing to say. Soon enough all eyes are on her – What do they want from me?

BANG CHAN: What did you come up with?

Y/n finally understands.

Y/N: Oh! Here's a list of things you need to get rid of in order to take the first step to make this gang legit.

She pulls out the papers that were lying on her lap, handing a copy to each of them.

CHANG BIN: Get rid of our fire arms!

He can't believe what he's reading.

CHANG BIN: Stop laundering mone-Ya! You're trying to shut down the gang before we can even become legit.

Y/N: When even owning a legal fire arm in ROK is tedious and over scrutinized, what do you think will happen when they find your illegal ones?

HAN: This list consists all the jobs we do on a regular basis, if we stop doing them, we'll have to shut down, and it'll be easier for other gangs to take advantage of us.

Bang Chan puts his copy down.

Y/N: I'm not asking you to stop all of them this instant. But to become legit eventually you'll have to stop all of them.

LEE KNOW: She's right.

CHANG BIN: I really don't get it, we have so much money, why can't we start a business without her help? Why do we need her when we can go legit on our own?

Bang Chan opens his mouth to speak only to be unexpectedly interrupted by Y/n.

Y/N: All that money you have is useless.

CHANG BIN: What-

Y/N: That money is not legal. If you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life, use it, I won't stop you!

She glances at Bang Chan and shuts up.

BANG CHAN: In that case, anything we do will be illegal.

Y/n shakes her head.

Y/N: There are a few ways, we can get legal money.

JUN HO: What are those ways?

Y/n feels a little proud, she's getting a hang of things.

Y/N: Selling your land.

CHANG BIN: I'm having a heart attack.

HAN: Enough.

Chang Bin stands, fuming.

CHANG BIN: I get all of this legit stuff and all, but if we're going to have to stop everything just because she says so, I don't want to be a part of this.

JUN HO: Chang Bin-

BANG CHAN: We haven't heard everything yet-

CHANG BIN: You know I've always been loyal to JBG; I've never done anything that has harmed JBG ever.

Y/n stares – Bang Chan was right; this group is more that just a gang.

CHANG BIN: But, as soon as we put our fences down, our rivals who've been waiting for a chance like this for ages, will pounce on us. We're digging our own graves going ahead with this.

No one responds. Chang Bin stays silent for a few more moments, and storms out.

HAN: Chang Bin! Ya-Ya!-

He goes after Chang Bin. Lee Know looks at Y/n.

LEE KNOW: He gets worked up at times. Don't take it too personally.

Y/N: I understand...all of this is stressful. Maybe I'm forcing too much change too fast...

BANG CHAN: No.

Y/n looks at him.

BANG CHAN: It has to be done.

Y/n nods.

Y/N: I have a question.

She picks up the courage.

Y/N: Did your father know me?

Lee Know shifts in his seat.

JUN HO: What do you mean?

Y/N: Hiring me, giving me an office. You said you understood why the former leader was going to choose me.

Bang Chan considers answering but stops himself.

BANG CHAN: I want a detailed report of your plan on my desk by noon.

Y/n nods, her curiosity at its peak. He stands, and exits.

CUT TO:

INT. CAFÉ – day

Y/n and Hyun Jin are feasting on super large sandwiches.

Y/N: They fund care facilities.

Hyun Jin listens, pretending to be a smitten boyfriend.

Y/N: They're criminals with a consciousness... a moral compass. It's surprising. And fascinating.

Hyun Jin looks at her, something's off.

Y/N: All that power they can use to take over the underworld-

HYUN JIN: Don't you think you're getting too distracted?

The smile Y/n didn't notice she had, cracks.

Y/N: Huh?

HYUN JIN: You're not actually a member of the gang.

Y/N: I know.

HYUN JIN: You can't get swayed just because you found one good thing they do.

Y/N: But that's their main business.

HYUN JIN: Are you siding with them? Even after what happened with your sister?

Y/n shrinks.

Y/N: I'm sorry.

HYUN JIN: You have to remember why you're there. Your sister is still in danger.

Y/n bites her lip.

HYUN JIN: I know I sound rude-

Y/N: You don't. I was wrong.

Seung Min walks to their table, places a smoothie in front of Y/n, giving her a very stern look.

Y/N: Thank you.

She takes a sip, feeling the weight on her shoulders multiply.

HYUN JIN: You're not there to actually help them, you're supposed to help us.

Y/N: I'm still getting used to this.

HYUN JIN: Boss had a plan in case something like this happened.

He discreetly hands her a pen drive, Y/n's eyes flash wider.

CUT TO:

INT. MEETING ROOM – LATE EVENING

Y/n's taps away on the laptop in front of her, alone in the empty room.

HAN: Oh Y/n. I wasn't expecting to see you here.

Y/n slams her laptop shut.

Y/N: Um...This was the only place where no one could throw eggs at me.

HAN: They still do that?

He walks toward her, pointing at her laptop.

HAN: Working on the report?

Y/n looks away, nervous.

Y/N: I'm done with that, just...um...doing some research.

Han nods.

HAN: I see.

Y/n's phone chimes, indicating a new notification.

Y/N: Oh, Lee Know needs me.

She stands.

Y/N: See you later.

HAN: Right.

Y/n walks away, Han's gaze follows her out the room.

HAN: Why did that feel awkward?

He looks at the laptop, and pulls it open. His eyes widen reading the contents on the screen.

CUT TO:

EXT. NONDESCRIPT APARTMENT COMPLEX – LATE EVENING

Chang Bin is followed by a group of JBG members. He smiles, waving the credit card in his hand.

CHANG BIN: Eat all you want! Tonight, dinner's on me.

The members cheer! Y/n squeezes herself between the members trying to reach Chang Bin.

Y/N: Wait! Wait!

She finally bursts out the crowd, racing and stopping in front of Chang Bin.

Y/N: Wait.

Chang Bin stares at her confused.

CHANG BIN: What do you want?

Y/N: I-I have a favor to ask.

CHANG BIN: You're not coming to our team dinner.

Y/N: That's not what I wanted.

CHANG BIN: What? I'm busy.

Y/N: I need to talk to you.

He waves an arm at his team.

CHANG BIN: You guys go ahead first.

They do as he says and clear out.

CHANG BIN: What's it?

Y/N: I need the data you've collected about the government officials.

CHANG BIN: Are you crazy?! What makes you think I'll give it you?

Y/N: I need it. It will help with my plan-

CHANG BIN: No.

Y/N: Don't you want JBG to succeed? Why're you stopping me?

CHANG BIN: No.

Y/n sighs.

CHANG BIN: Maybe on one condition.

Y/N: I didn't expect anything less.

CUT TO:

INT. BANG CHAN'S OFFICE – NIGHT

Y/n enters, only for her heart to stop beating when she hears a gun shot. She flinches kneeling to ground to brace herself.

BANG CHAN: Oh. I'm sorry.

Y/n's tightly shut eyes, slowly eases. She opens them and sees the target sheet Bang Chan was firing at from his desk.

Y/N: What the-

Bang Chan puts the gun down.

BANG CHAN: I wasn't expecting you. You, okay?

Y/n, still in shock, nods.

Y/N: Why're you firing in here? It's dangerous.

BANG CHAN: They're rubber bullets. I was testing them.

Y/n looks back at the target sheet – Huh.

BANG CHAN: I read your report.

Y/n composes herself walking to his desk.

Y/N: Yes.

BANG CHAN: Are you confident you'll succeed?

Y/N: I do... somewhat.

BANG CHAN: About the land, can we raise enough capital just by selling land?

Y/N: You have to sell only one.

Bang Chan raises his brows, curious.

Y/N: The price of the land in Jeong Sam will sky rocket in a few days, we'll get your capital from that.

Her gaze drops to his tablet on the desk, that switches on displaying a notification. A photograph of a DEAD BODY.

Y/N: Huh?

Bang Chan traces her gaze, his own landing on the tab too.

BANG CHAN: What?

Y/N: A dead body?

Bang Chan taps on the notification.

BANG CHAN: We get notified when there's a new death that may link to us, it looks like there's a new body.

Y/n freezes reading the name of the deceased.

BANG CHAN: She's been dead for a while now. All they found were rotting bones-

He stops seeing Y/n's glassy eyes.

BANG CHAN: Y/n?

She doesn't respond.

BANG CHAN: Do you know this person?

Y/N: No.

She looks away - That's my sister.

FADE OUT.
