Original subtitles

Okay! Listen up.

Kim Ui-chan will hold a press conference at 4 p.m.

announcing his candidacy for mayor.

Simultaneously, Someday will premier "Someday News"

an online news program.

They're only letting in reporters on the list.

Newspapers and stations not on the list

can't even go into the room, let alone ask questions.

A business card from Someday or Monday won't cut it.

The son of DK's CEO Kim Se-gwang is

having his engagement party in the next room.

Do you know them?

They can't stop their guests that easily.

Excuse me?

Go undercover? Us?

KIM UI-CHAN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR

Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan will arrive secretly

to avoid unnecessary questions while walking in.

Only reporters on the list will be

permitted into the press conference.

And the questions will be asked in the order

and about the topics specified.

So there should not be any unforeseen events.

They are worried about questions about that woman

who reported Assemblyman Kim for sexual bribes.

We can't let anything related to that air.

Got it?

I know.

We're airing a live exclusive broadcast.

We must be extra careful

so that they don't blame us for anything.

Okay, I understand.

He just arrived.

I think we have enough photos.

-Will you really be okay? -About what?

You have a strong image as this generation's

spearhead for the truth and morals.

If you publicize yourself like some celebrity,

you may tarnish your image.

A friend of mine called me a popularity addict.

If I really am popular,

-put me up for sale. -For sale?

"Kim Mun-ho left the shackles of regulated TV

and started his own news program.

Let's see how ridiculous it can be."

I understand.

We entertainment reporters have solid connections.

The most the higher ups are involved is about

how sexy the headline is.

Leave it to us. We'll get it done.

Thank you.

I am sorry, but you are not on the list.

-Please check again. -It is not here. Sorry. Next.

-No, you can't go in. Next. -Please.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. This area is restricted.

Who is restricting me and why?

We're here to attend

the engagement party at the Crystal Room.

We're the groom's cousins.

The engagement party. I see.

Gosh. Honey,

I'm about to be in a bad mood. Do something.

Okay.

Who should we call?

Assistant Kim? Or Assistant Park?

Tell the president of the hotel to come himself

before I blow up.

If people like us blow up,

it'll be all over the news.

-So before I do... -Please excuse us.

The Crystal Room is that way.

You may go in.

It's so narrow.

I'm sorry.

-Hurry. Come here. -I can't go in there.

How can I go into the men's room?

Oh my gosh. What are you...

What are you doing?

Yes, Mr. Kim.

We're ready. We just need to go in now.

You must do whatever it takes to ask your questions.

You don't need a response.

Ask as many as possible and we'll air it live.

We'll do the rest from here.

Okay.

I can ask questions. That much I can and will do.

Why do you keep calling? I'm busy.

Why are you busy? What are you doing?

I'm a reporter, remember?

Why exactly are you doing this though?

I need to film someone's press conference.

Who?

I heard the name but I don't remember.

There must be dozens of cameras there.

If you hang around there--

I'm a master at evading cameras. Don't worry.

-I'm busy. Bye. -The police are on her.

Dae-yong sent me some pictures,

and they are checking everyone near Chae Yeong-sin.

You've been photographed already.

A master at evading cameras did you say?

Would they run a background check on Park Bong-su?

They're Yoon Dong-won's guys.

We should think about why they're on her.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Just get out of there right now.

I can't.

Why not?

I got

a job request.

Without my knowledge? From whom?

From me. To stay with Chae Yeong-sin.

I'm busy. Bye.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Detective Jo? I'm busy.

Both the old and the young one are getting on my nerves.

What now?

Your apprentice has finally lost it.

What will you do about it?

PERSONNEL FILE PARK BONG-SU

I want to cross-check every person here.

See if their addresses and history match up.

I almost forgot.

The face. That's important.

Check the photos and see

if their faces are on their respective files.

Check their driver's licenses and things like that.

-Yes.. -Thanks.

PERSONNEL FILE

Come in.

It's about to start.

Let's watch together. We can talk after.

COMING UP NEXT: KIM UI-CHAN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR

We will begin now.

Ready, cue.

Insert text on my cue. Now.

KIM UI-CHAN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR

First, Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan will

announce his position with respect to his candidacy.

My beloved citizens of Seoul,

thank you for enduring these difficult times.

I feel your pain.

I stand before you today in order to help alleviate

your exhaustion, even if only slightly.

Seoul is the center of Korea.

If Seoul is weakened, Korea is weakened.

If Seoul is steadfast, Korea is steadfast.

I'm Reporter Yoo Jae-seok of Gyeongdong News.

Your pledge of a safe Seoul is very exciting.

Could you elaborate?

Welfare, city development and

job creation are all important.

But there is a more important problem

that everyone is missing.

It is the health issues of the people of Seoul.

KIM UI-CHAN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR

Beneath our feet

flows something that puts our health at risk.

It is the water.

Do you think the water we drink is safe?

It is not.

Then why does no one bring it up?

It's because they can't resolve it during their term...

I can't talk now. I'll call you back.

No, I need to talk to you now. It won't take long.

-What is it? -I thought I should quietly

tell you first before anyone else.

Tell me. What is it?

I'd like to let you know that

I, Kim Ui-chan, have a vision and a plan

to improve the quality of our water.

Next question please.

You must grab the opportunity to

ask Kim Ui-chan directly about Hwang Je-guk

and Joo Yeon-hui

in front of countless cameras and microphones.

Can you do it?

Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan, you know Joo Yeon-hui, correct?

I'm Reporter Park Seong-sik of Juhan News.

You said you would not do a smear campaign.

So what is your campaign strategy?

Throw your shoe or something.

You need to grab my attention.

That's the only way to continue the interview.

Yes, well, my campaign

strategy is...

I heard Hwang Je-guk of Je-guk Construction

introduced her to you.

What did he want in return?

Who is this girl?

You were on the Strategy and Finance Committee when

Je-guk Construction won the sewage construction bid.

Soon after, you bought an apartment in Seocho-gu

which is the apartment where you

secretly had rendezvous with Joo Yeon-hui.

-What? -I wanted to say sorry.

I wish you weren't the one managing the broadcast van.

Why did it have to be you?

We needed just 30 seconds,

so I had to drag you out of there.

I'm sorry, Min-jae.

Someday's Reporter Kim Mun-ho will

continue broadcasting this story.

Who is Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan's woman?

What is his relationship with Je-guk Construction?

If you run a search on Someday News, Kim Mun-ho...

How do you do?

KIM UI-CHAN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR

-Hello. -I'm Kim Ui-chan.

Did she say "Someday News"?

-Please excuse me while I make a call. -To whom?

I'll have to initiate precautions

and contain the newspapers, TV and other reporters.

-And... -Did you hear that?

Proceed.

That girl in the red dress...

I will take care of it.

Take care of it? How?

A reporter asked a question at a press conference.

How is that a crime?

It is a crime. I'll make it one.

It has already

been aired live across the nation

by an attractive and feisty reporter.

If we take any action against her,

that itself will make the headlines.

Kim Mun-ho just sent us a legitimate warning.

He's warning us

to not touch her.

We at Someday News obtained videos of

Hwang Je-guk providing sexual bribes.

This was submitted secretly to Someday

by an anonymous source.

These videos show 14 men receiving the services.

Among them is Assemblyman K, who announced

his candidacy for mayor of Seoul today.

We tried to confirm it with him, but as you saw,

we did not get a response.

We asked the woman in question

what she was told when she was

first introduced to Assemblyman K.

What did he say about Assemblyman K?

Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan?

Yes.

That he was going to be the next mayor of Seoul.

That he may end up being the future president of Korea.

We've taken care of the politics and news groups,

but...

But?

It's spreading through an unexpected route.

Each company's entertainment segment is

posting it as their main story, along with

Reporter Kim Mun-ho's picture.

And all at the same time, as if they were waiting.

That Reporter Kim Mun-ho sure is talented.

I'll look for a way.

Mr. Kim.

Yes, sir.

I think we'll have to discard Kim Ui-chan.

We can still bury this, so...

How would you like

to take his spot?

We, Someday News, are unable to broadcast every day.

We may broadcast once a week or

it may be longer before we can broadcast again.

However, even if we only have one chance,

we won't broadcast something

that sticks to the powerful and blinds the weak.

We'll see you again when something

must be given a voice.

This concludes Someday News' first broadcast.

Thank you for watching.

ASSEMBLYMAN K, SOMEDAY NEWS

KIM MUN-HO INITIATED HIS FIRST INTERNET LIVE BROADCAST

TOP SEARCHED KEYWORD: KIM MUN-HO

What did I just do?

What's gotten into me?

Thank you, everyone.

Our server is about to explode from the traffic.

They are all trying to watch it again or download it.

Let it explode. Let it blow up.

Jeez, I almost wet my pants earlier.

-It's over, right? -Over? This is the beginning.

We're all dead now.

Will we still get paid?

Get paid? Did you hear this brat?

You idiot. How can you bring up money right now?

Mr. Kim.

I guess that's Mun-ho.

Is he a senior reporter whom she respects

and she a junior reporter he needs to train?

Or is their relationship more personal?

Which do you think it is?

If it's the latter, I'll give up now.

But if it's the former, I'm thinking of making a move.

Jeez.

No, I only did what you told me to.

But didn't I do much better than expected?

I surprised myself too, actually.

I didn't know I had it in me.

You know, I'm usually quiet and reserved.

Good job. You exceeded my expectations.

Wow. I just got a compliment.

Things will get tough from now on.

You'll face and fight things you've never imagined.

I'm ready for it if you'll guide the way.

Okay. Get some rest for today. Jong-su is there, right?

I'll tell him to drive you home.

No, people will complain it's sexism.

Do as I say.

Yes, sir.

-Okay. -Oh, and...

Yes?

You...

You're a better person than I thought.

I guess I had the wrong idea about you.

Thank you.

Sure.

Thank you, Ji-an.

You're growing more and more perceptive.

It's as if that's your newly developed super power.

How adorable.

There is one thing I don't like about Mun-ho.

He doesn't know the joy of team dinners.

People working for a company like us...

When we accomplish something like we did today...

Damn it.

When we are frustrated or feeling icky,

we should go out to eat and party.

-What is it? -See that alley up ahead? Go there.

What? Where did they go?

Turn around. Make a U-turn.

Stop!

-What's going on? -Hold on.

Yeong-sin, hurry. Hurry!

-Why? -What? What's going on?

-Just go for now. Go! Hurry! -Why? Okay.

-What is it? -In here.

What is it? Where are we going?

Well... Yeong-sin.

-Spit it out. -Let's...

party.

What?

Just the two of us.

-Do you want to drink? -Yes.

-Just the two of us? -Yes.

Being with Jong-su is a bit uncomfortable, right?

Right.

Since we're dressed like this, should we get some wine?

Sure, let's live it up tonight. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Can we go somewhere I know?

You know of a place?

-But there is no wine. -Then what? Soju?

This way.

Young man.

What was your name again?

If you just glare at the world like that,

you'll only make your eyes water.

Close your eyes

just once.

Then open them again.

You'll see things you didn't see before.

That is called maturing.

Deceiving the world,

making false testimonies,

and betraying friends

is "maturing"?

Exactly.

That's how you survive.

And the woman you care so much about...

Well, you'll help her live too.

You need to get her the best medical treatment

at the best medical facilities to save her.

Then you can do whatever you want

whether it's atonement or love.

Realizing that is

what they call "maturing."

So,

what was your name again?

-Why are you alone? -I want to know too. Why am I alone?

It's not like I'm an outcast.

What is this?

Reporters Chae and Park's change of clothes.

Those people left me and took off.

Am I an outcast?

We're having a company party. Let's go.

A company party?

Yes, Mun-ho... Wait, what should I call him?

Mr. President? Reporter Kim?

Bars are better

on lower levels like the basement than on higher floors.

So why don't we--

I...

So I...

I like high places.

Let's just say I like watching people from high up.

There are only a few places like this in Seoul.

I share them with the security guards.

Sometimes, they get torn down.

It's like my secret spot.

You like watching people from high up?

I can see them,

but they can't see me.

A secret spot?

Yes, a secret spot.

This way.

What is it? Don't you have the key?

Well...

My key is in my jacket that I was wearing earlier.

Tell anyone about this and you're dead.

Wow.

The first time I went to your house,

your father gave me a few warnings.

My dad? What did he say?

First, don't let you drink.

If you begin talking about dinosaurs,

he said I should be alarmed.

Nonsense. That was so long ago.

I haven't talked about dinosaurs in ages.

And I can really hold my alcohol now,

so that won't happen. Give it to me.

Second,

don't let you open cans.

One out of three times, you cut yourself.

What? That rarely happens.

I cut myself once in a while. He's overreacting.

Hey.

It's nice here.

I'm glad.

It isn't snowing.

Right.

It isn't snowing today.

Park Bong-su.

Yes?

Tell me about yourself today. You always listen to me.

So today, I'll listen to you.

Talk about life or relationships.

I'm a pretty good listener, you know.

Has he come yet?

The person you're waiting for.

Hey, that's about me, not you.

Talk about yourself today.

-About me? -Yes.

What about me?

What?

Rather than waiting for someone who isn't coming,

how about you consider me?

You're awful at telling jokes.

It's more confusing than funny.

If you want,

I can live as the person you want me to.

For as long as possible while being very careful,

I can be here for you.

Are you saying you like me?

Yes.

Do you mean it?

Yes.

Wait.

Think about it before you answer.

There is nothing to think about because

I can't do it right now.

There's no room for you here at the moment.

Is it because of him?

Yes, it's because of him.

I'm sorry.

Is that so?

Is that it?

Yes. I give up. It's over.

Jeez, you had me petrified there.

But you know...

Yes, Yeong-sin?

You were really strange just now.

You seemed

like a different person.

Of course I was.

I told a girl I liked her for the first time ever,

and was rejected in three seconds.

Don't be too hurt.

I'll try not to be.

You just have strong competition.

Please stop.

Do you enjoy rubbing salt in my wound like that?

Sorry.

Hey, Bong-su.

What?

When did you start liking me?

From the moment you first saw me?

Was it the fabled love at first sight?

Please stop talking.

-Are you done? -I got all the photos.

Let's take a look.

Hold on.

Hello? Yoon Dong-won speaking.

Hwang Je-guk? Yes, I was there earlier today.

He's dead?

A suicide?

No one came in after Detective Yoon Dong-won left.

He was alone the entire time behind locked doors.

He didn't come out to eat or answer any calls.

We were worried so we broke the lock, and...

I AM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I DID

-Don't you want to see this? -Email them to me.

Detective Cha? It's Yoon Dong-won.

Hi.

I insisted it wasn't suicide,

so we began investigating the scene.

Did you find anything?

Yes, we found too much.

It's like a treasure island.

Firstly, here. His suicide note.

He apologized for all the wrong he had done,

and so nicely listed every wrongdoing he did.

It says he wronged those poor ladies and

he even killed someone.

Killed someone, as in Ko Seong-cheol?

He was on a train to Busan one day.

The guy next to him was so annoying

that he slipped the guy something,

but it killed him.

He was haunted by that every night since then,

so he took

that same drug himself.

He was also generous enough

to provide us with the train ticket.

I've never met anyone so helpful and nice.

What do you think?

MIBONG HIGH SCHOOL

Seo Jeong-hu?

I'm Ki Yeong-jae, a friend of your dad.

Come with me.

Where do you plan to go?

While you were in juvenile detention,

your grandmother passed away.

And you can't go to your mom who remarried.

She's very happy with her new family.

If you go there, you'll ruin it.

You have nowhere to go.

I sold your grandmother's house.

I used the money for her funeral and

-the rest... -Give it to me.

-Now? -My money.

Give it to me.

No.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

You thief! Give my money back!

It's in here, so why don't you take it?

Take it whenever you want,

but I won't give it to you nicely.

Take it from me, or steal it.

But you have a lot to learn before you can

take this from me.

Which one?

Hey, old geezer.

Bring the kimchi. The noodles are ready.

-Which one? -Jeez.

This one.

Right? The South Pacific is the best.

That looks good.

What is that? Are you going somewhere?

To the South Pacific.

To paradise, where I can see bikinis all year round.

When are you coming back?

I'm not.

Right.

Here, take it. It's yours.

There's a phone number. That'll be your income source.

If you call, an ill-tempered woman will answer.

Make sure you do a good job.

Master, please.

You became an adult today.

You can live alone now.

What?

Wait. Hold on a second.

Still... I cooked enough noodles for two.

Eat it all.

Wait. But... Master!

Master!

You'll be right back, won't you?

You're pulling my leg, right?

Master, wait! Master!

It's my birthday today!

Master!

-You said you'd never come back. -Did I?

-Why did you return? -Well,

two women were fighting over me.

I didn't know women could be so vicious.

You never called.

Not even once.

Did you not want to? Or...

did you forget about me completely?

I have a stone in my stomach

about this big, do you know that?

But whenever I see you, it twists around and hurts me.

Why are so many people in pain when they see me?

Detective Jo called at all hours of the day.

She always called whenever I had a girl in bed.

She told me that

you wanted to know about this photo.

I told you everything, so what else do you want to know?

Ask me. I came to answer your questions.

Why did my dad

kill himself?

-You knew? -Yes.

Since when?

Since I was very little.

There were many tactless adults around me who weren't discreet.

So why are you asking now?

I went to see my mom to ask her.

I checked countless community centers and

missed a week of school to find her,

and I did.

But I couldn't get myself to ask

because as soon as she saw me,

my mom began to weep.

So, I decided to leave it.

"Dad died in

a car accident."

Here. Look.

"Look how happy he seems with his friends.

Someone this happy and well would not have taken his life."

I loved this picture because it made me think that.

I'm glad. Keep thinking that.

I did, until I saw this picture in that jerk's house.

The bastard who tried to frame me for murder.

Here.

It was in the house of this bastard

and this woman.

Jeong-hu.

So why

did my dad

commit suicide?

He had me

and my mom, so why?

Knowing why won't change anything.

I think I could

find the reason then.

-The reason? -Master,

I have

no reason to live.

So I'm scared that

I'll one day follow my dad.

"Forget it. I quit.

I can't take it anymore."

It scares me.

Is that how my dad was?

Did my dad

also have

no reason to live?

Your dad, Jun-seok, was a reporter at the time.

He was investigating a story,

and he supposedly found some money.

And because of that money,

he killed someone.

My dad killed...

He killed someone?

That's what the record said.

I checked as soon as I was released from prison.

My dad killed someone?

He supposedly killed himself while under investigation

because the guilt was too much.

But I found it extremely weird, Jeong-hu.

I see.

So my dad killed a person.

So that's why

he died too.

Snap out of it and listen to me. That's what people said,

but I never believed any of it.

-He-- -So!

So!

So,

my dad was a murderer.

And

I am

a thief.

-That's who we are. -Jeong-hu, hear me out.

What a fucked up life.

This is insane.

Why did you tell me?

Why did you?

Since when do you answer everything I ask?

Why did you tell me, you old geezer? Why?

You shouldn't have told me.

Listen up, Seo Jeong-hu.

Your dad, Seo Jun-seok,

would never kill anyone.

I know that for a fact.

You may not know it, but I do.

So if you're going to react like that,

find out the truth first.

Find out who

killed your dad.

What?

I gave up midway.

But...

what about you?

I have a request for Healer.

You have a visitor.

YOU HAVE A VISITOR

There are five people in this picture,

but there is a sixth person.

The person who took this picture.

I couldn't ask him when I was investigating into

what happened to your dad

because he was just a kid back then.

I think I wanted to protect him

because he was like a little brother to all of us.

I don't know

what I need to do

or how much it costs to hire you, Healer.

I don't even know...

whether this email will reach you,

but I am writing it anyway.

Darn it.

I am Chae Yeong-sin.

I need to meet you.

Will you meet with me?

This is my request.
