## Synopsis

### History

Kye was an employee in a small service company that was part of a construction group. His job was decluttering areas set for redevelopment. He was very good at his job and, as a result, earned many favours from the company's higher-ups. However, late at night, his boss called him to the top of Midu apartment. His boss spoke about the apartment's potential for profit if only the city granted their organisation redevelopment authorisation. Then, Kye's boss pushed him off and sent him plummeting to his death.

The organisation used his fall as leverage to gain redevelopment of the old and worn Midu apartment. Unexpectedly, however, Kye survived. After being discharged from the hospital, he sought revenge and killed his boss. Afterwards, Kye gained the position of CEO, replacing his former boss.

Upon becoming CEO, Chairman Ju invited Kye to meet at the Midu apartment reconstruction area. Chairman Ju met with his bodyguards, and Kye met with some of his men. Kye instantly realised that Chairman Ju was the person who orchestrated his fall. Upon being questioned by Ju, Kye insulted and acted ignorantly, prompting tension between the two groups. To break the tension, Chairman Ju mentions his past, having grown up in the countryside. During this monologue, he brings up how his family owned a violent and wild dog. He then asks Kye if he knew how people tamed wild dogs back in his hometown. After that, one of Chairman Ju's bodyguards brings out a little pot filled with steamed potatoes and radishes.

Chairman Ju's bodyguards beat Kye's men till they were unconscious; however, Kye was left conscious. Then, Planning Manager Nam, one of Ju's bodyguards, proceeded to shove the steamed vegetables from the pot into Kye's mouth using tongues. In the process, Kye lost all his teeth and was tamed, as people did to violent dogs back in Ju's hometown. From that point on, Kye did whatever he was told by Chairman Ju, from killing to getting on his hands and knees.

Accompanied by Sangman and Burger, Kye bought a brainwashed orphan, Min Kang, from an unknown individual for over ₩750,000 through the black market. The individual told Kye that Min would obey him if he told him that he was his father. After that, Kye made Min kill various people while pretending to be his father.

### Main Story

Mincheol Oh contacts Kye concerning an incident involving Hyeri Ju, the daughter of Juyoung Construction's Chairman, Gangchan Ju. After killing Minji Kim, Hyeri asked Mincheol to send people who do clean-up work to cover up the incident. Because of Hyeri's familial link to the Juyoung Construction Chairman, Kye tells Mincheol that he will be there.

Kye drives with two of his men to pick up Hyeri, her companion, Minho Seong, who was involved, and Minji's body. In the car, Kye tells Hyeri that they don't usually do clean-up work and that they made an exception because she was the daughter of Juyoung Construction's Chairman. After noticing Hyeri's nervousness, he tells her not to worry too much. Kye comforts Hyeri by saying that with current technology, once they send the body to Japan, they can make it disappear using compression tech. Kye says that they put the body into a machine, and after it trembles, the body comes out at about the size of a fist. His words give Hyeri chills. Then he tells her and Minho to get out since they aren't allowed to pass from that point. Finally, Kye tells them not to worry about money since he'll personally send a bill to her father.

Kye's car stops near some trashcans. Kye tells Sangman to dispose of Minji's belongings, which includes her phone and wallet, adding that they'll end up at the incinerators.

While sitting in the car with his two men, one of them, Sangman, receives a message from Mincheol Oh's number. After Kye asks who it is, Sangman says it's nothing and that he told Mincheol that they put the girl's (Minji's body) body on the ship as requested. That's when the number calls, confusing Sangman since their standard procedure is to give a heads-up for calling. That's when Kye tells Sangman to ignore the call, stating that it's the police. Kye then orders him to get rid of the chatroom and to ignore any calls from crews for the time being. Kye also tells Sangman to dispose of his phone, just in case.

Kye and his men, Sangman and Burger, arrive at Pyeongtaek Port. After opening the trunk, Kye notes to them the terrible smell, asking if they put something over the corpse. One of them says they will get right to it, while he tells them they should've done it sooner since it ruined the rug. Kye then orders them to call the guys and to ask them to bring weapons. After they put Minji's body in a refrigerator warehouse, Kye gives Sangman a cigarette for his excellent work. Kye then begins to recount the process and realises the only action left is stabbing Chairman Ju in the back. He then gives a long speech about Ju to his two men, saying that Ju once yanked out all his teeth and that he's an animal wearing human skin. Kye continues, stating that he dreamt of taking revenge all his life. But that was until his daughter killed someone. And that up until this point, he was unable to get near Ju because of his notoriety.

However, Kye is interrupted by an old security guard, who asks him and his men to leave. At that moment, Kye and Burger notion to Sangman with their eyes to deal with the guard. After Sangman murders the guard, Kye tells him it shouldn't be a big deal since they'll frame everything on Chairman Ju. Sarcastically, Sangman asks Kye if they should put the guard through some compression tech, chuckling. While laughing, he tells Kye that Hyeri believed that. Kye responds by saying that kids today are still naive and have only gotten bigger. After putting the guard's body in the refrigerator warehouse, the three leave. Kye wonders if such a thing as compression tech even exists.

Kye enters the refrigerator warehouse while contacting Chairman Ju. That's when he notices multiple shoe prints across the floor. But before Kye can comprehend, the old security guard who survived Sangman's attack tackles Kye. The commotion causes Kye to drop his phone. Kye compliments the guard's strength for his age. The guard calls Kye a bitch, prompting Kye to respond enthusiastically, asking him how he knew. That's when Kye begins stabbing the man, saying they should've been more careful. After killing the guard, Kye picks up his phone from the ground while cursing Sangman. Kye calls him a scumbag and that he always half-asses things and someone has to clean up after him. Kye continues, now saying he came to take a clean, nice photo to blackmail Ju but somehow got into the position he is now.

That's when Chairman Ju calls Kye. Kye greets Ju over the phone and tells him he hopes everything is well with him nowadays. Ju tells Kye he heard his daughter is indebted to him and that they should talk in person. Kye is pleased with Ju's request, saying it sounds good. Ju tells Kye that his daughter may look tough but that she's soft and that the accident shook her. Then, he says that intervening in children's affairs is bad publicity. Ju suggests they head right into business without beating around the bush, also telling Kye that kids make mistakes. Kye agrees but says there's one thing before they talk. His tone changes, and he reveals his anger toward Ju, telling him to stop yapping as if he's in charge.

Kye begins stating his conditions to Ju, telling him he has one hour to show up alone, along with 2 billion won. Then, Kye tells Ju there are to be no police and no bodyguards. Kye singles out Ju's Planning Manager in particular. Next, Kye says he'll send a location and that Ju is to come in his car. Finally, Kye tells Ju that if he tries anything foolish, his daughter will be called a murderer for the rest of her life, and the world will know that he wanted to cover it up. Kye finishes up, screaming at Ju if he understands, adding that he should bring himself some dentures, but the call loses signal.

Kye calms down after the heated call with Ju, telling himself it's all for the better and that there's no need to get worked up. He critiques himself, saying he shouldn't have steamed up and gotten emotional. While exiting the refrigerator warehouse, he tells himself to be more careful next time, hoping he sounded like a person from the city over the phone. Upon stepping outside, Kye sees that it has started raining, brushing off his pants and saying they are new. He turns around, saying things were flowing too smoothly, but that's when he makes eye contact with Minji Kim, who is still alive. Kye's cigarette falls from his mouth as Minji slams the door shut. Kye tries to open the door, screaming at Minji to open it. He whips out his phone and calls Sangman, who he has labelled on contacts as "moron".

Kye tries to contact Sangman but to no avail, cursing him. But after cancelling the call, he is called by one of the guys he'd asked Sangman and Burger to call over. The man tells Kye they'll all arrive soon and asks Kye where he wants them all to go. Kye asks if Min Kang is with them, and the man answers yes. Then, Kye tells them to look for Sangman at the office since something might've happened and to tell Min Kang to come to the refrigerator warehouse upon arrival. After ending the call, Kye returns to trying to contact Sangman.

Kye receives a call from the man he told to look for Sangman. They tell Kye it appears someone attacked them, and neither Burger nor Sangman is there. The man says the two morons may be up to something and that Sangman is notorious for being unpredictable. Kye is shocked that Burger isn't there too and orders the man to scour the area.

Kye is having a one-way conversation with Minji, who has barricaded herself in the refrigerator warehouse. He tells Minji to be as stubborn as she wants, reminding her that he isn't the one in cold storage. Then, after hearing Minji call for her dad, Kye gets an idea. He crouches to speak to her, saying nothing good will come from this for either of them. That's when Kye asks Minji to make a deal with him, saying he'll let her go.

Kye tells Minji he has no grudge against her since he's only met her today. Kye then begins detailing the deal. Finally, Kye tells her that she'll step outside if she promises to help him take down Chairman Ju. He says that they are practically allies and share a common enemy. Kye then reminds Minji that they don't have much time and tries to make things easier by telling her to think of him as her uncle. However, Minji calls him a liar, saying he'll kill her when she steps outside since she saw him kill someone (the old security guard). Next, Kye asks Minji for her age; upon her response of 18, Kye calls her mature and right. Kye tells her he can't let this slide nor act as if everything is okay, saying he's a bit sorry for how things turned out. But then Kye reveals that he would've released her had she not called him out. He tells Minji that he forgot about killing the man because it's a daily thing for him -
