Without a Trace

Limitless Podcast Transcript [S2E5]

Mark: Oh, the Broker won't like that, he's the one who provided those to Jeno in the first place, right?

Donghyuck: I think so? The Broker's brand is on it, so I guess.

Mark: Speaking of the Broker, that's what this episode is on today, actually! Hyuck here is a bit of a conspiracist so we figured he'd be perfect for this episode.

Donghyuck: Bet, I have a couple videos of the Broker too, but whenever I post them they get taken down in seconds.

Mark: That's the power of money, I guess. Johnny, why don't you introduce the Broker?

Johnny: Gotcha, gotcha, let's see... Here it is. The Broker is a legacy title, according to sources. Although their names are always well obscured, they do everything in their power to stay out of the public eye and, theoretically, other big names in politics and in the upper 1% do their best to keep their identities hidden also. The previous Broker was a known arms dealer who would provide firepower to the highest bidder and the current Broker is... unknown. For all the mistakes the first Broker did, the new one makes up for it. The Broker is officially listed as 'Wanted,' but it seems that despite this, he is as active as he was pre-ban.

Mark: Yeah, I hear rumors all over the place that the Broker's still making deals with big governments. But, more importantly, tell us about this video you have, Hyuck.

Donghyuck: Here, I'll just show you guys. Basically, in the video, the guy who Renjun assumed to be the Broker walks into the capitol building with this huge case and with a few bodyguards around him and exits without said case.

Johnny: And how do you guys know they're the Broker?

Donghyuck: Hold on! I'm getting there, be patient! Look at this, if you zoom in on the pin on his coat, it vaguely looks like the brand of the Broker.

Mark: For those who don't know, the brand of the Broker is basically just an owl's head with a spider's web behind it. There's apparently some symbolism behind it, the owl represents dangerous vigilance and the spider's web represents connections and traps, etc. But, y'all can look into that more with a google search.

Johnny: Hyuck, respectfully, this footage is super grainy. We can barely see this supposed "Broker."

Donghyuck: I know! It's fucking crazy! This is all we've been able to get of anything remotely related to the Broker!

Johnny: This is why you need to upgrade to a Crystal, iPhone are out now.

Donghyuck: I've been considering it! Do you have one?

Johnny: Yup, check this out. [Tech Sounds] Holo-Tech and voice features, this is stuff of the future, man!

Mark: Shoot... The Jeong family's probably crazy rich now. After Gunho invented Holo-Tech they're probably rolling in money.

Johnny: What do you mean? The Jeong's are old rich, dude. They've had money since forever.

Donghyuck: When we say eat the rich we mean them.

Mark: Oh! Haha... but like... still, going back on topic, Hyuck, if this really is the Broker... dude, you need to go into Witness Protection.

Donghyuck: I was under witness protection for a bit after what happened to Jeno, we all were at the Watchtower channel. But since Absolute Zero turned himself in, well, there goes my 24/7 surveillance. It was kind of nice while it lasted, actually.

Mark: Still, dude, be careful. I'm pretty sure the Broker has enough money to make it look like an accident, you know?

Donghyuck: Oh, no doubt the Broker has enough money to make that happen too, damn, these rich people. They really do live in a different world from us, don't they? It's scary.
