Episode 1.

Efforts are efforts. Results are results.

Whoever draws the gun first wins. You draw yours too late, so don't whine. – Seo Yul

What do you think is the most beautiful value? Sharing. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Guess what the worst part of continuous defeat is. Getting used to losing. Get used to that and you forget how to win. – Seo Yul

Episode 2.

Dong Hoon: At least you know how to win.

Yul: So what? The people above tell me to lose.

I'd rather come out a trash than pretend I'm not. I don't want to rationalize being a coward and live comfortably. – Seo Yul

When a woman says no, you should stop. – Choo Nam Ho

People like you love me, don't you? – Seo Yul

You can pocket whatever you want. Just don't get caught. – Seo Yul

Each morning before I leave home for work, I take out my guts and put them in the fridge. I get upset every single day, but what can we do? We have to make a living. – Choo Nam Ho

I think I reached my limit. I'm not sure how much longer I'll last. I really want to do something meaningful. – Yoon Ha Kyung

Episode 3.

People are busy looking out for themselves. – Lee Jae Joon

I'll start getting them on my side one by one. – Kim Sung Ryeong

He was born with the talent of fidgeting with money. – Seo Yul

If you were going to make her suffer all her life, why did you stay with her? – Kim Sung Ryeong

You kept getting stabbed in the back, but you only cared about being good. You had absolutely nothing. I won't live like you. Why would I? I'll be heartless and not care about anyone else. – Kim Sung Ryeong

The rule is to end it once you take the money. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I asked you for help to uncover the truth. We need to gather solid proof to flip the tables on them. – Jang Yoo Sun

I need to be crazy first in this crazy world to win. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I'm afraid of them too, but I'm more afraid of the truth being buried. And there will be more victims in the future. – Jang Yoo Sun

Episode 4.

The fearless die early and the fearful live long lives. – Seo Yul

When a duck quacks, there is no echo no matter how loud it is. We are just ducklings. If they feed us, we give them what they want and float around on the water as if nothing happened. That's our lives. – Choo Nam Ho

Gwang Sook: You've seen the movie Titanic, right? You know who's the luckiest person there

Sung Ryeong: The one who got in the lifeboat at the end?

Gwang Sook: No, it's the person who played cards with Jack and lost his ticket, the person who never got on to begin with.

On the outside, we'll look perfect. But on the inside, we'll rot even more. – Choo Nam Ho

We all know he's trash, but we just have to turn a blind eye. That way, we can all survive. – Choo Nam Ho

These jerks are waking up the beast inside me. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Episode 5.

I can work at my best when my heart is at rest. – Kim Sung Ryeong

This is barely a big picture. It's just a tiny picture frame. – Kim Sung Ryeong

You should know your enemy before you pick a fight. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Episode 6.

If you have money, you can do anything in Korea.

People should be treated like people. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I didn't get this far just by playing card games. – Choo Nam Ho

It's not easy to stay honorable in front of cash. – Union Leader

Min Young: We are walking on the same road.

Yul: That doesn't mean our destinations are the same.

Numbers don't lie. The people who calculate are the ones lying, not the numbers. As long as I don't lie, there's nothing as clean–cut and honest as accounting. That's how I want to live and should leave. It's not that easy though. – Kim Sung Ryeong

If we put up with every demand, it will be a huge degradation. – Cho Min Young

Don't defend him. He's a lost cause. – Lee Jae Joon

Episode 7.

People do get accused even when they're innocent. – Choo Nam Ho

Life is full of variables and surprises. Don't be afraid. Whatever comes, do not break down. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Depending on how you look at a person, his worth changes. I looked at Chief Kim's past before. Now I look at his present. I decided to believe his higher value. – Yoon Ha Kyung

Yul: Don't live in a fantasy. Live like the trash that you are.

Sung Ryeong: Trash can be recycled.

Do you know what I hate the most? An unfair situation. Being framed for something I haven't done. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Why do you bring out the worst person in me? – Kim Sung Ryeong

I reflected on myself and I only found myself. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I'm good at hanging in there. No, I'm great at it. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I lived hard and well. I was honest. I did my very best. – Oh Se Myung

Episode 8.

It's better to begin after you get the first few blows. – Seo Yul

Don't let it get bigger. We have to trample it down while it's still small. – Park Hyun Do

If it's difficult, you just have to hold out. – Choo Nam Ho

He's walking down the road of a righteous man. – Hong Ga Eun

When I lived like a trash, they called me a trash. If I try to live well, they say a trash like me can't live well. I am so sick of this. I'm leaving. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Investments are important, but people and employees are more important. – Jang Yoo Sun

Our goal isn't to punish them. It's to ensure that people like us suffer less. – Yoon Ha Kyung

I've decided to live for myself from now on. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Now there's no reason for me to stay. I don't have to suffer anymore. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Episode 9.

I acted cold on purpose. I had to keep my heart solid. – Kim Sung Ryeong

No one is good at something from the beginning. We have to learn. – Bing Hee Jin

I will take care of my own happiness. – Seo Yul

You make it sound easy because it's not your problem. – Choo Nam Ho

Guys that are really evil make use of the people around them and prey on them. Those that look after the people around them still have some hope. – Choo Nam Ho

Why am I risking everything? Because it is worth it. Please believe in my determination and will. If you believe in me, I won't disappoint you. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Episode 10.

There was a time when I used to be like a crisp paper with sharp edges that could give you a paper cut. But in time, I became crumpled and dull. I fell apart piece by piece. I got married, when I got a kid, and then I bought a house. By the time my kid went to college, I completely disappeared. Then I met Chief Kim. After I met that crazy guy, I started getting myself back. After this job gets done, I think I'll have found myself. – Choo Nam Ho

We need to find the leak. That's the key point of poor management. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I knelt down back then so I could gain momentum. If you go down like this, you could jump really high. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I will pay for my crimes my way in my time. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I will show you how to stab people in the back and get away with it. – Kim Sung Ryeong

What little expectations of you, that's not the only thing that lost value today. I thought you knew when to draw the line at least. – Jang Yoo Sun

Episode 11.

You lost because you didn't have information. Knowledge is power. You need to strengthen that. – Hong Ga Eun

Sung Ryeong: It's not because anyone's blaming me. I can't forgive myself. I jumped in without a plan and got torched.

Nam Ho: Do you want us to blame you and curse you?

Sung Ryeong: Yes, I'd rather you all do that.

Nam Ho: Then we'll lose each other. We lose everything if we lose each other.

Our goals are: One, survive. Two, survive longer. Three, die trying to survive. – Choo Nam Ho

Ha Kyung: Let's not be chained down by the results.

Sung Ryeong: Life is all about the outcome. The process is not important.

Ha Kyung: That's only when you fight against enemies. If the process was good, people will remain even if the outcome is bad.

Episode 12.

Some people will do anything for their profit, but some others give their everything for the value they stand with. – Jang Yoo Sun

You have to put me to an end so that I can't live. And I've let you off until now, but no more. It's a death match starting today. The loser dies immediately. – Seo Yul

We all lose our mind when faced with a huge amount of money. And I tend to have weaker will than others, but I tried hard. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Crushing you will bring me peace. My only goal at work will be to crush you. I am no longer Mr. Righteous. From this moment on, I'm Mr. Revenge. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I did try to work, but I didn't know anything. Nobody taught me anything. – Park Myung Seok

Everyone is against me. I want you to protect me. Do you really have a will to do something? – Jang Yoo Sun

From what I heard, he got sick and bored of it. He started to have doubts. – Hong Ga Eun

A businessman who knows and controls the law turns the company's finances into great power, a power no one can tear. – Seo Yul

Ha Kyung: Why do you make your life so tough? Why do you think it's natural to make enemies and fight?

Yul: Because that's the world we live in.

Ha Kyung: The world I live in and the world you live in, how different are they?

Yul: Sharing the same space doesn't mean we share the same lifestyles. 

Ha Kyung: You have so much. Giving up a little won't make too much of a difference.

Yul: Do you know how it feels to always want to be just one step ahead? That one step turns into two, and then ten. In the end, you're just too far ahead. By the time I came to realize it, I could no longer stop. In the future, I'll do a lot of things you won't like. And when I do, just think that it's because I can no longer stop.

Ha Kyung: I hope that you can stop yourself somewhere down the line.

I have a new goal. I'm going to crush you. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Episode 13.

I will block every single route to his future. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I have to get rid of him with my own hands. No one else can touch him. – Kim Sung Ryeong

A strong denial is a strong affirmative. – Oh Gwang Sook

You said you'd stop me, but I see no obstruction. If you can't outrun me, you should bomb me from behind. – Seo Yul

Do you think they were monsters from the start or they only became monsters for money? – Hong Ga Eun

You should live more like a shrimp. Shrimps' hearts are in their head. Their hearts and brains beat together, so they're logical. You only work with your heart, that's why nothing you do ever works. – Seo Yul

Getting a revenge is never easy. – Choo Nam Ho

Episode 14.

In a fight, number is everything. – Kim Sung Ryeong

He went around investigating just like you. I'm afraid you'll end up like him. – Choo Nam Ho

Wherever I go, adults are the worst. All you do is take from us teens. You insult and hit us, and try to give useless advice you don't even follow yourselves. This world has more immature old people than actual decent grown–ups. – Min Ji

I know it's difficult. I'm getting weak–hearted. So, I'm wishing for a miracle, a miracle that'll set everything right. – Soo Jin

Episode 15.

Sung Ryeong: Does a man's life mean nothing?

Yul: That's how it is. A man like you can get killed without a trace. So please, know your place.

Sung Ryeong: I'll continue living like this. This is me. What can I do?

You just disturbed a sleeping lion, a crazy one at that. – Kim Sung Ryeong

It's an illness to be this fearless. This is not courage. – Choo Nam Ho

Why do you think I saved him? A man is dying. How can I let him die? – Seo Yul

It can't be bad to have one of me in the world. I just go for it without caring about the consequences. – Kim Sung Ryeong

The people who know it's wrong yet do nothing about it, like us, are the worst cowards in the world. But why should you be the one to take the plunge for people like us? – Choo Nam Ho

I have to know all your secrets and weaknesses if I am to protect you. The more you hide from me, the more danger you are exposed to. – Seo Yul

Episode 16.

The basics of distribution begins in a office.

I commend you for your positive mindset, but it's so unrealistic. – Seo Yul

People are stupid. They think they're the smartest. They think they can fool everyone else. But they trip over their own trap. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Episode 17.

You act like there's no tomorrow. Do you only think about today? – Park Myung Seok

You need to be a good man in order to be a good superior. – Choo Nam Ho

Even if we bleed to death, I will cut out everything that is corrupt. – Jang Yoo Sun

Director Seo and I have a love-hate relationship. He saved me. I have to repay his kindness. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Prosecutors like you who do not have any connections do this sometimes, because you want to act like a king. However, you can't be more than just a rich lawyer and that doesn't last long. Either at the company or at the prosecutor's office, you can't go any higher. People like you are nothing more than pawns. – Choi Ik Joong

Episode 18.

Since when were you and I a team? – Seo Yul

How many others must bleed so you can stay on top? – Jang Yoo Sun

Let the sky fall. We'll find our way out somehow. – Kim Sung Ryeong

I never give an opinion without a plan. – Yoon Ha Kyung

Before I get thrown away, I will throw you away first. – Go Man Geun

Shouldn't we give even the bad guys another chance? – Kim Sung Ryeong

Sung Ryeong: You used to be a good prosecutor.

Yul: That was back then. You know better than anyone what a thug I have become.

Sung Ryeong: Go back to those times then. Think of it as giving yourself another chance—a chance to turn everything back. Sometimes, a total fluke can change your life. Why don't you change your life's direction?

Yul: I came too far to switch paths now.

Sung Ryeong: Then turn back. You want to, but you're afraid.

Ha Kyung: You seem to like winning a lot. But, you don't have to win every time. You only need to win what's really worth winning. That's a true winner, isn't it?

Yul: There's one thing that I really hate to do, and that's losing.

Episode 19.

You should fight for justice and principles. – Seo Yul

I can't forgive you for taking someone's life as nothing. I will make sure you pay for your crimes. – Jang Yoo Sun

I'm not doing this because I love justice or because I can't stand injustice. That's not me. I'm doing this for him (my father). If we let him keep this up, he'll really get out of control. He will hurt way more people than he already did. – Park Myung Seok

Why are you talking about the past? I'm now living an honest life. – Kim Sung Ryeong

Yul: You know we're the ones with the sword.

Ik Joong: I do. But you know the direction of the blade can always change, don't you?

Yul: Why did you give me a chance?

Sung Ryeong: Well, I got into a fight with a super strong guy. He beat me up, but he didn't kill me. So I thought, why don't I make this guy on my side instead of someone who'd stab me in the back. If this super strong guy was on my side, I wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.

Episode 20.

Yul: This game will only end when we find the money.

Sung Ryeong: No. Sending him to prison, that's the real ending.

Try what? It's beyond saving now. Stop trying to give me hope. That's even worse. – Park Myung Seok

You have to be strong. You have us even though we have little power. – Choo Nam Ho

Sung Ryeong: People who mistake greed for principles wreck the world.

Yul: Thanks to those who follow principles, the world goes round.

Yul: Kim Sung Ryeong, you are the best Chief Kim in this entire country.

Sung Ryeong: Seo Yul, you are the best prosecutor, director and glutton in this country.

I need to spend a little time for myself. I need some time to learn how to be a decent person. – Seo Yul

I should be thanking you. You made me a decent human being. – Kim Sung Ryeong
