My dream is

to not dream.

That dream has been recurring ever since that day.

It may stop for a few months,

but it always returns to me like this.

I committed a sin.

(Episode 1) It was very windy on that

rooftop on the 25th floor.

And she was standing on

the ledge and swaying like this.

Her eyes had this unfocused look.

She looked like she was about to jump and I said...

"Hold on. Let's talk."

"You want to say something, right? I'll listen."

At first, I didn't think she heard me at all.

But I didn't give up and kept going.

I wondered what I should say to have her listen to me.

Steam came out of my head and I blurted out something

but then she started listening to me.

- What did you say? / - What?

I don't remember. I said anything that came to mind.

But one of them struck a chord.

Who am I?

I'm the queen of persuasion.

But how long is she going to stay here?

I can't just send her home.

She has no family and lives alone.

- Are you worried? / - Yes, I am.

We should keep an eye on her for a while, right?

- We should keep an eye on her. / - Who will?

I have to go to work. I have a job.

- Then I have to do it? / - Probably.

If a person decides to do something like that,

you never know when they'll try again.

Depression is an illness. It's not easy to cure.

So we should...

Hot!

Is it salty or bland?

Come have breakfast.

Let's have breakfast.

Isn't there anyone you could stay with?

A friend or a relative?

No.

Don't you need to stop by your place?

You don't need your clothes, make-up or anything?

Those people are probably staking out my place.

What do you mean by "those people"?

If it's that bad, shouldn't you tell the police?

I have a favor to ask.

This is all I have.

Please let me stay here for a while.

Let you stay here...

Well, you can sleep in Yeongsin's room.

I cook, so it's not a big deal, but...

I don't have much left in the bank,

but I'll transfer it all to you.

- Look, Miss... / - You're a lawyer, right?

Please take on my case.

What is with this antique?

He got tricked again.

He can't stay out of people's business and

I can't say no. What is wrong with us?

You know I never let anyone in my room.

I can't sleep with other people

so I don't even go on retreats.

He's so...

My room.

My bed.

I want to be your bed in your room for just one day

Oh, baby

I want to hold you warmly in my arms

And put you to sleep

Even the slightest discomfort

Even the monsters in my dreams

Would be eliminated by your little whisper

I am so curious to know

How much you love me

In your small drawer

Where's my cell phone?

What?

Clean your room! You'll share it with a guest.

I'll take care of it, okay?

Do I have everything?

Why are you here so late?

The chief has been looking for you.

The mood is pretty bad. You should go in.

Please...

"The Korean economy will fail"

"without Suseong Industries."

This is what the minister of finance said

at the Ministry of Strategy and Finance meeting.

But Suseong Industries has been

under suspicion of lobbying politicians...

Why do you look like that?

Wouldn't some woman let you sleep all night?

You'd better stop. People might think you're my wife.

A written apology won't be enough this time.

Fine. Do whatever you need to do.

Whether it's a suspension or pay cut, I'll accept it.

Your brother is here.

What?

He's in the president's office.

Why?

Why are you asking me about your own brother?

There's a limit to everything.

What?

Even if you have good connections and fear nothing,

there is a limit.

Among the suspicions surrounding Suseong Industries,

the biggest issue right now is illegal gifts.

Our news team investigated the illegal gifts

given to the family members of Suseong Industries too.

But we couldn't air it during the news.

"It was cut because the investigation was incomplete."

That was the reason supposedly.

But I have a feeling it was because our channel airs

dozens of Suseong Industries' commercials

on a daily basis, which we cannot ignore.

Hold on, Reporter Kim Munho...

Many recently-retired TV stations' executives...

transferred into Suseong's affiliated companies.

That may be worth looking...

What is your problem?

Are you rebelling like a pubescent teenager?

At this age? Come on.

Do you hate me or something?

You want to kick me out that badly?

Do you hate me for becoming a chief first?

- Minjae. / - I'm your chief.

Yes, Chief. So why won't you let me report something

I spent three months investigating?

You can't go on this program anymore.

No, I like this program. It's live.

I'm going to supervise every story you bring myself.

Before you edit what you film on scene,

pass it by me first.

If you blatantly show favoritism like that, others...

I'd like to fire you right this instant, but...

That would be wrongful termination, and I'll sue

both you and the president.

Stop it.

I know we can't touch the only brother of the owner of

the giant Jaeil News.

This may be your playground,

but I worked my whole life to get here.

Stop fooling around.

Fine. I'm sorry.

But you...

Me what?

You worked your whole life to get here?

Ignoring things based on what the higher ups tell you?

Does that make you feel cool talking like that?

No?

What is so weird?

It's weird.

Why would the owner of a giant media company personally

come to meet with a hired president?

There are bars with private rooms and

that discrete VIP club, too.

I booked that discrete VIP club.

Make time tomorrow evening.

All the media company owners will be there.

Hey.

We swim in different ponds. You know that. Come on.

Swim over to mine.

It's time for you to swim over.

I told your president

that I need

Reporter Kim Munho.

That I want to take you to my company.

You want me to join your clan or something?

Is that it?

I'm not your child. You won't tell me to take over

or anything cliche like that, are you?

You are my child.

Stop being so corny.

Myeonghui and I don't have kids.

To us, you are our son.

Munsik.

Yes.

I am not your child.

I am not Myeonghui's child either.

- Munho. / - Leave me alone.

If you keep bugging me, I'll rebel.

Hey.

Don't make me rebel.

I think Oh Seonjeong and Lee Junbin are together.

Reporter Lee went to speak with the security guard.

Should I wait for them to come out? Or ask around?

Yes, Sir?

Did you see? You saw, didn't you?

You saw. She saw.

So why haven't you called?

What? You're staking out day and night?

So you have no time to write any other stories?

What on earth... Hey.

Daily Patch published it an hour ago.

All the reporters in Korea are all over it now.

What did you do

when you were supposedly staking out all night?

Answer me, Chae Yeongsin!

I'm in the elevator, so I can't hear very well.

I'll have to call you back.

Yeongsin.

You're late.

How can you survive in this field if you're so slow?

What the...

Why did you turn your tracker off?

I'm in the middle of thinking about something.

I said not to think.

Where are you?

In front of the house of a girl who has my picture.

Have you lost your mind?

I told you to hide. Stay home and don't come out.

How does she have my picture?

That isn't a picture of you.

It's just your clothes and hat.

Some guy hired us to get a DNA sample

for a DNA test.

And we got it for him.

We got him her clipped nail.

What was the request after that?

Gather information on her

so I had to follow her around for 24 hours.

In other words,

I was wherever she was.

That's what it was.

But I'm being hunted down for a murder.

Hold on.

Is she a bait to catch me?

Why is such a smart guy hanging around there?

Someone is framing you for Ko Seongcheol's murder.

So I'm telling you, you punk...

- Are you still there? / - Yes. What?

After killing Ko Seongcheol,

he didn't just leave our email address at the scene.

That jerk knew

the address of the motel you two were hiding in.

Who paid the motel bill?

I did, with cash. You said you'd reimburse me.

And the receipt?

I got rid of it, of course.

I ripped it off and threw it out elsewhere.

But somehow,

the motel receipt was found in Ko Seongcheol's pocket.

Wow. Whoever he is, he's pretty good. And?

It looks like

he checked the security cameras around the motel.

I know of one detective

who is that quick.

This man next to the victim is the man

who goes by the codename "Healer."

Our cyber team has acquired

a few other photos of him,

but they all look like this.

The quality of the security video is poor and

his face is always covered by a cap, a hood,

sunglasses and so on.

People who even met him can't describe his face.

Some say he's in his 20s and others say 40s.

So, he is something like a fixer?

He'd do anything for money, no questions asked?

Up to now, he has only violated communications laws

and been charged with breaking and entering.

His targets were very diverse.

It's from private companies to

government infrastructures.

Excuse me for a minute.

Ko Seongcheol's autopsy report is out.

The cause of death is

poison-induced suffocation and nerve-paralysis.

The brain hemorrhage and spinal fracture

caused from the fall from the train are

considered post-mortem.

In other words,

someone killed him by poisoning him.

And then threw his body from the train.

That's how it seems.

The lab results show

it was aconitine poisoning.

Even a very small dosage would

paralyze the lung function instantly and be fatal.

You mean that Healer

murders, too?

That's how crimes work.

If you don't get caught, you repeat it.

If you keep repeating it, the crimes worsen.

That's why we need to catch him soon.

The autopsy report is out.

Someone poisoned him.

So who did it?

Someone who knew Seongcheol and I were at that motel.

Someone

who was able to forge the receipt from that motel.

And

able to put that receipt in Ko Seongcheol's pocket.

So who would it be?

You.

What the...

Or the jerk who hired us for the job.

Wait. Wait. Be quiet for a minute.

Let me think.

Please send this message.

That Jaeil News should have no problem

sending me to the U.S.

I'm sure he said "Jaeil News."

The question is, who at Jaeil News?

He wants to leave the country today.

But he asserts that he'll be caught at the airport

if he uses his real name.

So...

Yes.

Yes.

They will get you a new passport.

But leaving by air is still dangerous

so they'll prepare for you to take a boat from Busan.

Which means you need to get to Busan.

Is that okay?

He agreed.

How can he get his passport?

I had a bad feeling about it.

I thought for about a second

whether I should get on that train with him.

That isn't right.

Ko Seongcheol is B.

The person who paid us is A.

We must do what A requests.

We take or give as instructed.

Then it's over.

But that A got me involved in this mess.

I am framed for poisoning a man to death.

But why would you use poison to kill someone?

That's just annoying.

I'm ordering you as your boss. Get out of there now.

And? Run for the rest of my life?

Take the blame for a murder?

If not, then what?

I need to catch the real killer.

I can't trust the police.

I'll catch him myself and hand him to the police and...

- Is that him? / - Who? What?

Hey, Healer?

I wanted to know

who was spending so much money to find this girl.

Whether he is just a client,

or he's using a bait to catch me.

Track this car down for me.

Find out about this guy too.

But I think

I've seen that face somewhere before.

What? That's Kim Munho.

Don't you know Kim Munho?

Kim Munho?

Who is that?

He's a reporter. A big shot reporter.

Don't you watch... Right. You don't watch news.

But,

- what is this? / - What?

It says

he is the brother of the owner of Jaeil News.

So what is going on here?

Okay.

Enough thinking. Next step is

taking an action.

Action? Where are you going?

Hey. Hey! Healer!

She is Jian.

Jian, Uncle Munho is here.

When will you grow and call him "Uncle"?

Isn't she pretty?

Yes, she's pretty.

Your daughter grew up to be very pretty.

That was strange.

What is?

Mister.

The back of my head keeps tingling lately.

It feels like I'm being followed.

By who? A guy?

A guy?

Really? Is it a guy?

Why doesn't he just come out and say that he likes me?

It's not like he can fight his feelings.

How do you know?

How do you know what that feels like?

It's not like you've experienced it.

Mister.

I'm a veteran entertainment reporter. I do know.

That doesn't make you an expert of relationships.

They are all in the same category and...

Yeongsin.

Whatever.

He's at the intersection.

I think he's headed toward the subway station.

Your 10 o'clock.

Excuse me.

Where is he?

I'm at exit three. Where are you?

- I can give you a ride. / - One.

My Benny's throttle is a bit sensitive.

- Two. / - So go easy on her

when you rev...

I'm off.

From what I heard, this is the general premise.

Here is

President Hwang, a general contractor.

He is a broker

who introduces women to the men. And...

Hold on.

I'm a reporter after all.

I lost my exclusive that I had been killing myself for

while being a good person.

So if I hear something right now,

I may write it and sell the story.

Be careful.

Can you write the story?

- What? / - Can you write the story once you hear it?

Well...

I'm only an entertainment reporter.

I can't write up anything.

Hey, she is a celebrity.

What?

I'm an actress.

I was in a few movies, and a few dramas as well.

They were minor roles, so you may not know me.

I see.

Listen.

You see here? That President Hwang guy

gathers up young, helpless actresses like her and

makes them do sexual favors for rich and powerful men.

Sexual exploitation is so common now...

At first,

they drugged and forced them.

Then they continued to force them by blackmailing them.

For example, they'll release videos and such.

Can you write up such a story?

But wouldn't it be better to go to the police?

I did.

I reported it to the police.

- But? / - They said I had no proof.

No proof

that I was forced.

What?

You go to the police so they can find the evidence.

They want the victim to bring the evidence?

Exactly.

And President Hwang said

it would be a piece of cake to make me disappear.

But

he's letting me live because that man asks for me.

That I should be good to that man and do as he says.

That I can't even die until that man gets sick of me.

- "That man"? / - That's the problem.

Here.

This man.

One of the top assemblymen of the ruling party.

Favored to be the next mayor of Seoul.

Assemblyman Kim Uichan?

This is pretty tough, right?

Dad,

we're low on the totem pole even among

B-rated online entertainment news sites. This is...

I'm going to resubmit the complaint as her lawyer.

For this President Hwang guy... Accessory to rape.

If he forced sexual favors for a specific benefit,

we'll add on bribery.

And the recipient of the sexual favors...

For him, it will be for receiving bribes.

I thought the police wouldn't investigate

because of a lack of evidence.

That's their way of trying to bury this, so how...

That is why we need a story in the paper.

There needs to be buzz in the media.

That is the only way they'll do their job properly.

The online community is the scariest, you know.

The leader of the ruling party.

It's the ruling party, Dad. This is really tough.

Hey, Daughter.

You said your dream was not to be a tabloid reporter.

You said you wanted to be a real reporter.

The real...

What brings you here at this hour?

Is something wrong?

It took an hour and 40 minutes.

What did?

It's only an hour and 40 minutes between there

and here.

What are you talking about? You're so random.

You didn't drive after drinking, did you?

You're acting strange. What is it?

Let's go in. I think it's going to rain. It's dreary.

It won't be easy.

I know because I've watched my dad work

since I was little.

The cases like this are not easy.

Everything about you might be revealed.

You may have to give up your acting career.

I know.

Everything from pressing charges to going to trials...

It will get really dirty.

They may paint you as a temptress.

That's fine.

You're brave.

I was wrong

when I wanted to kill myself on that roof.

Of course, you were wrong. So...

I can't die alone.

Yes...

What?

There are other people who deserve to die.

It's true.

There are people who need to disappear from this world.

Only then, the world will be the better place.

I will take

some of those jerks with me.

I won't go alone.

So

if you're scared, you can stop now.

Don't help me.

You are so cool right now.

My heart skipped a beat.

I believe in things like that.

Fate, destiny, things like that.

If they didn't exist, why would we have words for them?

So even if I want to run away, it's too late.

We've met, so our lives are entwined now

and our destiny has begun.

- Hey, Lady. / - What?

What is it?

You know,

for as long as I could remember,

my life was just bland.

What are you talking about?

Nothing was fun or interesting.

I lived because I felt obliged to.

That's how I've lived.

Every day seemed like homework.

What's wrong with you?

What is it? Turn the camera on.

But

I think

it's about to

get interesting.

My heart

is just

tickled.

This is the first time I feel this way.

I'm the CEO of SS Guard, Bae Sangsu.

Mr. Bae.

Right. Okay.

My boss would like have an information team.

Isn't that why you called us?

Well, we are the best in Korea beyond comparison.

We at SS... By the way, that's my initials.

Sangsu. SS. Double S.

I heard you've taken on jobs from many companies.

We've done unofficial jobs for the country too.

Have you ever met the owners of those companies?

We normally work with the teams in the field.

My boss is in this car.

The boss...

Would you like to get in and meet him yourself?

Well, I would be honored.

But if you do, the person in that car

will be your boss as well.

What?

I don't like that term, "boss."

Then I'll rephrase the term.

He wishes to buy your company.

Well...

Many people want my company.

There was one. Daewon Group.

They offered 22,000 dollars.

We will give you double.

The money will be deposited into your personal account

tomorrow morning.

You can continue operating SS Guard as you always have.

Nothing will change on the surface.

The only difference is you, the CEO, will

belong to my boss.

"Belong"? What does that mean?

You'd sell your soul.

My soul...

Would you like to meet the boss?

You said you'd deposit the money tomorrow?

It is nice to meet you.

Hello. Please excuse me.

Hello, Chief.

I'm sorry about the Lee Junbin and Oh Seonjeong matter.

I have no excuse. I'm sorry, Sir.

- Chae Yeongsin... / - But

how long must we tail celebrities or

rummage through the scenes of affairs?

We are Someday. So...

I've brought an exclusive.

It's of a tsunami caliber that can sweep and shake

politics, economics and entertainment in our country.

Stop talking for a minute.

I wasn't just bumming around.

I was working to snag something...

- this big... / - Will you stop talking?

Yes, but please read this...

- Say hi. / - Once you do...

Say hi. Hey, you. Yes, you.

- Yes? / - What was your name again?

My name... It's Park Bongsu.

Park Bongsu? Park Bongsu.

Who is he?

Your successor, whom you've been begging for. Happy?

What? I thought the company had no money?

You said no bonuses, and even our salaries were iffy.

How can you hire a new...

3,000 dollars.

He brought in

a 3,000 dollars-a-month advertisement for a year.

He isn't like someone

who can't even write simple stories.

3,000 dollars a month for a year?

Don't be scared.

Don't be nervous. I'm your direct superior.

You can just call me "Ma'am" with lots of respect.

- Yes, Ma'am. / - Just like that.

Okay, so anyway, Chief, please take a look.

This is a diversion tactic, isn't it?

You're distracting me after losing the exclusive.

Just read it,

then you'll see.

I have a feeling once I read it, I'll be fuming.

No, you won't, so just read it.

Your eyes will be opened and...

- Go. Go! / - Wait, so...

This is the pantry. You've never seen one, have you?

Yes.

Here, everyone from the chief to the new guy

makes their own coffee. It's self-service.

So don't do things like make coffee for others.

And here, inside the refrigerator are

many things to eat.

But they have names written on them.

Yes.

This says, "Hyeonjae's. Don't touch."

So don't ever touch them.

"Don't ever touch..."

It's pretty good.

Here is our hopes and our dreams. Reporter Yeo.

As you can see, he is a great reporter.

Not only does he write the most articles here,

he does the art, marketing, advertising,

accounting, and everything.

Without him, Someday would shut down immediately.

She is Reporter Noh Hyeonjae.

Nice to meet you.

Yes, nice to meet you.

- Do you know something? / - Pardon? What?

That you're good-looking.

- I think so... / - Anyway.

Here, he is...

I'm Park Chanhyeong.

So you're Reporter Park Chanhyeong.

Sorry?

You whiny puppy dog. Are you going to do that again?

What did I do?

"What did I do?" I didn't come in for a few days

and you print an article without proofreading it?

- Hey! / - I did proofread it.

You did? You call that proofreading?

Then how were there three typos in one story?

What? You did proofread it?

- What is that? / - Pardon?

The thing in your ear. What is that?

This...

Well, this is...

It's sort of like a hearing aid.

A hearing aid?

Yes, it's for people who can't hear very well.

So in my situation, I can hear well without it.

And sometimes when I put it in, I can't hear...

So what I mean is... This is...

Park Bongsu.

Yes? I hear you.

Hang in there, okay?

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

The leader of the ruling party.

It's the ruling party, Dad. This is really tough.

Hey, Daughter.

You said your dream was not to be a tabloid reporter.

You said you wanted to be a real reporter.

Munsik.

Munsik.

Aren't you going in?

You said you couldn't make it.

Munho wouldn't stop winning.

Of course, Munho should come. He's her uncle.

Did you bring it?

You're the best.

You did great, Honey.

Thank you.

I love you.

Whatever. Munsik brought it and you take the credit?

I had no time to go buy flowers.

I was going crazy outside of the delivery room.

You kept screaming so much...

I almost ran in and strangled the doctor.

Thanks.

She is Jian. Isn't she pretty?

What's your name again?

I'm Park Bongsu.

- Park Bongsu? Bongsu? / - Yes.

What a friendly name. But...

Have we met before?

I doubt it.

It's the first time.

- Right? / - Yes.

Right?

I was born with some reporter's skills.

I was born to be a reporter.

The first is my verbal skills.

The second is my memory.

Once I see a face, I never forget it.

I see.

"I see"?

Yes, Ma'am, Miss Chae.

Without the "Miss Chae."

You don't say that among reporters.

No. Just...

Ma'am.

Exactly.

I'll buy you lunch. Let's go.

I can tell just by looking at you.

You were an outcast, weren't you?

And an aide in the army.

You're so timid that you are not good at interviews

and that's why your parents used their money to

get you a job even in a place like here.

Come here. I'll take care of you from now on.

My heart aches for your parents.

You can't control of how your child turns out.

My dream is

to not dream.

That dream has been recurring ever since that day.

It may stop for a few months.

But it always returns to me like this.

I committed a sin.

The name of that sin is

silence.

It's sunny today.

Although it feels like winter.

Munho.

Jian must like you.

Give her a kiss.

Go on.

Today is Jian's very first day in this world.

You remember the kiss from your first day forever.

So? Do I look like Reporter Park Bongsu now?

Bongsu.

That woman, Chae Yeongsin is

really a bait for me.

Let's cause trouble.

Something only human being can do.

Reporter Chae Yeongsin.

I'm a fan.

Can I talk to you about that?

About Jian?

It will be buried in a day.

Who is that reporter again?

I can't sleep when someone is in the same room.

The fish is definitely nibbling.
