("The eyes of a media jackal will brighten the world.")

(Eight Office)

Is this Aeguk Newspaper?

Are you Han Mu Young?

Yes, I am.

You should just focus on writing if you're a journalist.

Quit threatening people.

That's weird. I never told you that I'm a journalist.

Can't you see the plaque on the wall?

(The eyes of a media jackal will brighten the world.)

Have you planned things out well?

We don't have time. A detective needs to move quickly.

Why must I sacrifice myself for you?

You better make a smart choice.

You already siphoned so many confiscated drugs.

How upset will you be if you end up losing your money?

You little...

Keep this in mind. You're going to go down on your own.

I never had anything to do with this incident.

Now, tell me. How did you plan out the show?

You're going to be the owner of a three-story hostess bar in Busan.

And we're going to be getting three big ones per person.

Okay. Now, open the table drawer in front of you.

You got rid of the original copies, right?

I'll keep them safe forever.

My gosh, you little jerk.

Hey, make sure you come see me before you die.

I'll look forward to it.

I respect you, Lieutenant Jeon.

Darn it.

(Park Eung Mo)

- Come on out. - Get out.

Come see me when you ever come to Busan.

If you're a man, you have to come.

Yes. You should come too.

You're Mr. Kim from Busan?

It's a standard procedure...

not to work with strangers in this business as it's based on trust.

- You're quite lucky. - I was in a rush,

so I pulled all the strings I had because I really wanted to meet you.

But, sir,

it seems like you're not working with Korean ladies, are you?

Is that your area of interest?

What a shame.

Their starting rate is way higher.

I guess it's hard even for you to get them involved.

It's not hard.

It just requires more money.

To be honest, when we're in an economic crisis,

shouldn't they issue a mobilization order on the girls?

The shorter their skirts are, the braver the soldiers get.

Anyway, we ought to wipe out anyone who talks about human rights.

That's how our country can survive.

You're right.

On that note,

I can provide 8 girls, and you will pay 3 big ones per girl.

I will vouch for the quality.

When I set my mind to something,

I never retreat.

You look like you're one of us.

But know this.

You can be in this dangerous business only when you're young.

If you want to have a decent life, you ought to aim for power.

I guess the rumor was true.

You're planning to run for an office?

Why not?

Is there a reason why I shouldn't?

I can think of many reasons why you shouldn't.

For example, this is one of them.

Who are you?

- Are you a cop? - Stop talking.

Just answer my question.

Have you seen a guy with this tattoo?

If you know who that is, everything ends here.

I won't report you.

I won't leak this video to the public.

I haven't gotten the faintest clue.

Are you sure about that?

I can make your life miserable with a stroke of my pen.

A stroke of your pen?

You're a journalist?

You're the famous media jackal.

You're right, and that media jackal just landed a punch on you.

You jerk.

Hold on.

Talk to me in Korean, you punk.

Tell me when I ask you nicely!

You little...

Shouldn't we be there?

What if Mu Young ends up dead?

We are not supposed to butt in when the experts are at work.

When things get interrupted, it's hard to get it going again.

Really?

I know it from my experience.

Would you stop talking nonsense?

Have you ever used your muscles other than eating and taking a dump?

By the way,

why haven't you guys done anything?

Call the police immediately!

- What's that? - What's happening?

Boss!

You're not going to talk even now?

I told you I don't know anything, you punk!

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

- Hey! - Stop him!

- Get off him! - Get him!

- Boss! - Boss!

Hey.

- Get him out. - Get that thing up.

Get him.

Open the closet.

- Hey! - Boss!

Goodness.

Be quiet.

Boss, are you all right?

Go and catch that jerk.

- Let's go. - Move.

Hurry.

You want to get in there tomorrow?

- You want to get in there tomorrow? - This wasn't my job.

Let's get in now.

Is anyone here?

Hey, be careful.

There they are. Hey.

- We found them. - Stay quiet.

Quiet down.

Don't talk.

All right. We are journalists.

You are not safe here. Let's get out of here. Okay?

Follow me, please. Come on.

Let's go.

They are not who you think they are.

You are in great danger!

You scumbags. Who are you?

Darn it. Hey, go and take care of him.

Was that meant for me?

Then did he mean me?

Hey!

Gosh, what traitors.

Goodness.

You little...

Wait.

Hey.

Hey, let me go. Let go of my hair.

Let go of my hair, you jerk. Let it go!

Darn you!

My gosh!

What is that?

Yong Shik!

- Yong Shik! - Yong Shik!

What is that?

How many victims do we have?

A total of four victims, ma'am.

By the look of them, they were all female.

Why is there only one shoe?

It happens.

Whether one of the other shoe came off...

or she was in such a hurry to even put the other one on.

- Let's get moving. - Don't touch me.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Let me go!

- Hey, arrest them away. - Step aside.

Let's go.

- What are you doing? - Let go of me.

- Let go of me! - Come on.

- I said let go of me. - Open that thing.

Who are you?

Did you bring a warrant?

Do you know who I am?

How would I know a scumbag like you? Let's go.

Darn it.

Prosecutor Kwon,

I'm certain that Park Eung Mo is running this company,

but it's under another name.

It will be tough to prove that he's connected to this joint.

The incident happened a long time ago.

If it goes against our way, we won't be able to charge him with murder.

Let's find witnesses first, Inspector Park.

Yes, ma'am.

By the way,

who are those foreigners?

They are private guards Park Eung Mo brought...

from Southeast Asia three years ago.

They are so tough that gangsters in Korea can't even touch them.

There was a war within the organization?

I don't think that's what happened.

I heard there was another individual involved in the scene.

Another individual?

I'm telling you the truth. I know nothing.

I see. You don't know anything?

Is that right? You know nothing?

I'll give you another chance.

Explain everything...

in detail from the beginning.

So...

Don't stutter.

Don't make me ask you again. Tell me the truth.

So...

a guy from Busan came for a visit to do some business.

It turns out he was in disguise.

- What? - He said he was a journalist.

He showed a photo of a tattoo.

He said everything would go away if he can find the guy with the tattoo.

Prosecutor.

This is Jeon Chan Su, the lieutenant in charge of this case.

This is Prosecutor Kwon So Ra.

What brings a person of your status here?

The scale of this case is pretty big.

I heard this guy has been running his joint here for 20 years,

but I guess your precinct didn't even have the slightest idea.

Well, we don't have the proper authority to investigate.

I'll send you documents to give you an update on the case.

You should go back to your office.

When people see you walking around the crime scene in your high heels,

they feel uncomfortable.

Bye, then.

What a rude jerk.

(Daehan Newspaper)

Suk Min, you know you shouldn't get too involved, right?

I only brought you here because you begged me to bring you along.

Cut that nonsense. Who do you think you are?

I'm the one who helped you get this job.

Whatever the case, you probably lost your touch by now.

Just sit back and watch your juniors do their job properly.

Let's go. Let's go.

- Let's go. - Hurry.

Everybody, please keep order.

Please stand back.

My gosh, why is this getting so big?

Han Mu Young, that jerk. I'm going to kill him.

My gosh.

Lieutenant Jeon?

I wonder why he seems so nervous.

And what could this be?

I trust that...

the world...

will give me a chance to fix what's wrong.

(Park Eung Mo)

It's all my fault. It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have written that article in the first place.

It's all my fault.

(Jeon Chan Su: Lieutenant at Incheon Police Station)

I need to reveal everything.

I need to tell the truth.

(Park Eung Mo: Owner of EM Trade)

Why do you think your brother died?

That's because he followed me around too much...

just like you.

(Human trafficking, Park Eung Mo)

I'm sure my brother's article...

has something to do with this.

(Recently, many women from Southeast Asia...)

(are being illegally sold for prostitution.)

("The Reason Why Nam Kang Myung's Death is True")

Where are you hiding?

(Five years ago)

Come on.

Does the coach not want to see me?

He doesn't have much time until the selection match.

He's just really busy.

- I see. - He said he's going to...

talk to the association, so you should just go back and wait.

Okay. I hope things work out well.

Me too.

My gosh, what a waste.

He's too talented to be expelled.

Is that what's going to happen?

He doesn't seem to know that yet.

So just keep your mouth shut.

(Beijing 2008, Silver medal)

(Han Mu Young, Judo)

Hey, Mu Young. It's me, Chul Ho.

I'm out covering a story, but it's taking longer than expected.

Mu Young.

Make sure you keep exercising while I'm gone.

And don't worry too much about what's going on.

I'm sure things will get better soon. Okay?

I trust that...

the world...

will give me a chance to fix what's wrong.

I'll be able to put things back to where they were.

I'm sure I can.

I'm going to put things back to normal.

I haven't forgotten anything yet.

I'll be able to put things back to normal.

(You have one new voice message from Chul Ho.)

Please give me one ticket to Sangjoo.

Here.

I'm going with him. Please give me the same ticket.

- My gosh. - I'm so tired.

Until when do we have to wait?

- My gosh. - We've been waiting for so long.

- Come on. - My goodness.

This is so frustrating.

It's so annoying.

- My gosh. - Seriously.

- How long is this going to last? - My goodness.

Hey, are you eating well?

Yes, don't worry.

So you're telling me that there's a story that you must cover.

But you can't tell me what that is?

I'll...

tell you everything when I get back.

- My gosh. - By the way, Suk Min.

About my brother, Mu Young...

Exactly. Why did...

Why did things come this far?

(Han Mu Young is being accused of using drugs. Will he get expelled?)

You know he would never do such a thing.

I think there was a misunderstanding.

Don't worry. I'm the one who wrote about his first victory.

I'll take care of everything.

Thank you.

I really don't know what to say.

Say what you need to say through your article.

Anyway, I'm going to give you time because I trust you.

But I'm going to kill you if you come back with nothing.

Surprise me with a great story, okay?

What are you talking about?

Who were you talking to? Was that Chul Ho?

Where is he in this mess?

He said there's a story that he must cover.

So I decided to give him some time.

My gosh, he has so many secrets.

By the way, did you hear anything from the prosecution?

Don't worry. They're probably on their toes too.

I'm sure Chief Prosecutor Cha won't let go of our bait.

(Director Gu Tae Won)

(Director, Gu Tae Won)

Chul Ho.

Don't stress yourself over something so simple.

Just think about what you can take responsibility for.

It's time for you to leave the office, sir.

Let's go.

Chairman Min Young Ho is known to have received many benefits...

from the government by using his enormous slush fund.

However, right before his trial,

he disappeared after leaving a will.

Chairman Min had pled his innocent in a press conference.

Some of the public have voiced that the prosecution's...

excessive force had to cause him leave a will and disappear.

(Truth)

(Daehan Newspaper)

This is unfair.

I have been treated unfairly.

I have never bribed anyone.

Then there must be someone who received my bribe allegedly.

In order to help build the administration this year,

I have worked around the clock.

But in order to cover up their scandal,

they unfairly targeted me.

When they needed me,

they were happy to...

(Daehan Newspaper)

It's been pointed out that Chairman Min, who pled his innocence,

may have left a will...

due to excessive force used during the investigation.

Goodness, sir,

you know how I work. There was no excessive force used.

How can you be so harsh?

Sir?

Sir?

Gosh, what a stubborn old man.

This isn't right.

Darn it.

So Ra, have you ever met Lee Suk Min from Daehan Newspaper?

No, I haven't.

He's the leader of Splash Team.

I think he has some information regarding this case.

Go meet him and find out if his information is good or not.

Is it all right for me to talk to the press in this state of affairs?

- If this goes wrong... - He's in the center of the scandal.

If we find him dead, we won't be able to investigate anymore.

We have to release everyone who's related to this corruption scandal.

You want to use the help of the press before it goes sour?

This is odd.

When are they coming out?

- There she is. - Here she comes.

- She's coming. - Here we go.

We will start the briefing regarding Chairman Min's case.

You still don't know his whereabouts?

Are you sure there was no excessive force used?

This is the 21st century. Those days are over.

We are currently trying to locate him.

Can you release the information about his slush fund?

We are still early in our investigation to release it.

Please refrain from printing speculative articles.

Graduated top of your class in the training institute.

You're quite promising as your skills are sharp,

but the rumor is that you have quite a nasty personality.

We don't have a lot of time. Why don't you get to the point?

What information do you have?

I have a question before I do that.

Even if you're going up against such a scary and daunting opponent,

are you confident...

that you can investigate this case until the end and not be scared?

I am not confident.

I get scared easily.

However, I have my principles straight.

The core of our investigation is to remove any kind of corruption.

I follow my principle when I investigate, not by guts.

Right before he went off the grid, he paid us a visit.

And in my hands,

I have the real will that he left.

He wanted to expose the people who didn't help him with the scandal.

But you see,

this is like the black list of those who are privileged in this country.

We are holding the pen, and the prosecution is holding the sword.

I'm wondering if we could help each other out.

I will give you 24 hours. Why don't you think about my offer?

If you think you can keep your principle until the end,

why don't we do this together?

Gosh, it's freezing.

I'm so cold.

Goodness.

Suk Min?

You should've let me know if you were coming.

Goodness, it's freezing in here!

Hey, is the heating not working in this house?

Why is there no hot water?

Hey, those are my pants. Give that to me.

Goodness, let me just wear them. Come on.

They are cleaning the water tank.

Hey, forget it.

If I look this good after working late for a week,

I'm as handsome as Gang Dong Won.

I didn't even have to take a shower.

Oh, my goodness.

But why do you keep barging into my house?

This kind of sudden visits...

are only done between close friends.

Hey, you. Who recognized you...

as the promising judo player when you were little?

Who does...

your brother respect the most at his work, Daehan Newspaper?

Who is that?

Get this.

What is it?

It's my laundry. Do you have ramyeon at home?

- Goodness. - By the way,

how is the appeal to the association going?

Is it going well?

A few of the players said they will testify on my behalf.

The doctor is the most important witness you have.

It was the doctor who injected the drug that wasn't cleared by you.

Who doesn't know that?

How can I find the guy who hit the road ages ago?

He didn't get rid of his clinic and apartment.

Those jerks who like to show off and brag...

can't just pick up and leave that easily. Go find him.

I'm sure this will go away soon.

- My coach is going to help me too. - Hey!

Do you still think they are on your side?

Get a grip.

Your life will be over if you trust people that easily.

Goodness.

I'm sorry.

I think the dean found out that you were using the gym.

That's all right.

You don't have to apologize to me.

I used the gym long enough.

By the way,

I know I promised you I would testify,

but I don't think I can.

- A lot of people are watching. - What?

Hey, you still don't trust me?

I really didn't do any drug.

It's not that I don't trust you.

Do you want me to get kicked out?

You know that my life depends on this.

Why did you go up against one of our own? That's why you're in this bind.

What?

What are you talking about?

You reported that Coach Hong manipulated matches to prosecution.

They are punishing you.

How could you have reported that to the prosecution?

Didn't you...

know that Coach Hong was a cousin of the Attorney General?

You should've just stuck to judo if you didn't know how the world works.

You're frustrating.

(Episode 2 will air shortly.)
