00:42So without further delay, let's roll the intro.
00:54Docky receives a call informing her of a special loan approval.
00:59With a bandage around her neck, she rushed to the bank, causing a commotion to meet her
01:04assistant manager.
01:06To her surprise, the person she sought was not a man as expected, but a woman.
01:11She showed the photo she received from their phone caller ID, depicting a man, not a woman.
01:17The woman at the bank asked Docky if she has made a loan.
01:20Docky confirmed she had transferred money to secure the loan.
01:23The woman then revealed that their bank never collects money from the customers up front.
01:29Realizing she had been scammed, Docky felt devastated.
01:32After composing herself, Docky went to police station to report the incident.
01:38She detailed her transfer of $32,000, and Detective Park on duty questioned her why
01:43she didn't recognize the scam, especially for such a large amount.
01:48Docky revealed an injury from a fire incident that burned down her house, leaving her in
01:53desperate need of money for treatment, which insurance didn't cover.
01:57Frustrated, she sought advice on recovering her money.
02:01Detective Park explained that tracking down the scam organization would take time.
02:08Returning from the police station, Docky visited the remains of a burned-down house.
02:12She then picked up her two children from a friend's daycare, where she was told that
02:18she no longer receives free childcare.
02:21Without a home, she had to take her children to work.
02:24Fortunately, she had two supportive friends.
02:27Meanwhile, the voice-phishing scam continued at its headquarters, operating like a call
02:33center with strict supervision and severe punishment for mistakes.
02:38One member, Jay Min, tried to escape, but witnessed the brutal punishment of his friends
02:44and decided against it, fearing for his family's safety.
02:48Docky was working when she received a call from Detective Park, informing her that the
02:53scammer's account was suspended, but the money was already withdrawn, and the case
02:58was closed.
02:59On her way to discuss her case with Detective Park, she received a call from Jay Min, a
03:06scammer.
03:07He asked her to help him to expose the scam organization.
03:12Docky was skeptical, but Jay Min explained the situation and promised to return her money
03:16if she helped.
03:18Docky then tells him to call back after five minutes because she was driving.
03:23Docky contacted Detective Park but couldn't reach him.
03:26She called the emergency police number for advice but was told to visit the station nearby,
03:30which was impractical as Jay Min was calling back soon.
03:34Jay Min then provided his location in code, in alphabetical order, and told Docky to write
03:40it down.
03:43Docky took the note to the police station, where Detective Park initially dismissed her
03:47claims due to the case being closed.
03:50However, upon checking her call history, he realized the call couldn't be traced.
03:57Determined, Docky distributed flyers, seeking other scam victims to support reopening her
04:04case, but one night she discovered a pamphlet offering a $100,000 reward for exposing the
04:11scam organization.
04:13She visited the victims and asked them to join her, but they refused.
04:20Docky continued searching for the scam location using clues from Jay Min.
04:25At work, she anxiously awaited Jay Min's call.
04:29When it came, he felt frustrated, unable to act alone.
04:34Docky suggests looking for something identifiable in the headquarters.
04:38Jay Min spots a swing machine.
04:42Docky's friend Bong informed her that Child Protection Service took her children due to
04:46her unstable living conditions.
04:49Determined to find the scammer and get her children back, Docky sought help from her
04:55friends Bong and Sakia.
04:57They planned a trip to China, where Bong's sister Aime could assist them.
05:03In China, they visited locations from Docky's list, pretending to offer cloth to peek inside.
05:10Jay Min, now a supervisor, tried sending evidence to Docky, but failed due to network issues.
05:16He managed to fax documents to the police station, surprising Detective Park, who felt
05:22guilty of ignoring Docky.
05:24Docky and her friends found the scam location, but the situation escalated when the scam
05:30organization's boss arrives.
05:32Jay Min tried to send more evidence but was caught and stabbed.
05:36Docky's team followed the boss to the airport.
05:40They contacted Detective Park, who coordinated with Chinese police to apprehend this boss.
05:45At the airport, Docky confronts the boss, who dismissed her concerns.
05:50When she refused his bribe, he assaulted her.
05:54She fought back, taking his passport and ticket.
05:57The police arrived just in time, arresting the boss.
06:01A couple of days later, we see the boss was arrested.
06:05Jay Min survived his injuries and cooperated with the police.
06:08Docky refused compensation, standing firm in her fight for justice.
