Original subtitles

Back then, did Ms. Song not check the death certificate before the report?

She did not.

Dal-po... I mean, Ha-myeong what about you?

I'll meet Ms. Song Cha-ok.

What evidence of suicide was there?

There was circumstantial evidence.

Did you check the death certificate?

I had the family's testimony too.

Did you check the death certificate?

-There was a suicide note. -I asked if you checked it.

There was no reason to!

There was plenty of evidence that it was suicide!

Thank you for your response.

YOU SHOULD STEP DOWN FOR NOW

Awesome.

So, she admitted she didn't check the death certificate.

Yes, I think that's why she can't press charges or do anything.

Wow, this is going to hurt her badly.

That death certificate determines whether she lives or dies.

But doesn't it bother you?

She is In-ha's mother.

Not at all.

It bothers me. It must be worse for you.

-You and In-ha-- -We ended it.

Stop talking about that and tell me what you found.

You ended it?

How was it? Did you meet all of the other drivers?

Yes, I met all ten of them, and they say the same thing.

They said it wasn't suicide but a coronary artery disease.

"Coronary artery disease"?

-All ten of them said that? -Yes. Mr. Cho was right.

Hey, I'm back.

What happened to your voice?

Don't get me started. I met Mr. Cha's brother,

and it was so loud there that I lost my voice.

What was the cause of death?

Mister!

Did your brother have a chronic illness?

Yes?

Then, did your brother not commit suicide?

He said that Mr. Cho was right. It was a coronary artery disease.

"A coronary artery disease."

What? Is something wrong?

No. Nothing.

So, why did the brother lie that he committed suicide?

He resented Mr. Cho

because his brother was stressed about being fired.

That's why he lied.

So, Ms. Song really did make it up.

I knew it.

Who would commit suicide over 600 won?

I know.

But that's the better story.

That's why she didn't even check the death certificate.

-Right? -Yes.

What happened to In-ha?

If the death certificate is real, Ms. Song, the fabricator is dead.

CHOI IN-HA

The death certificate is good.

I knew it.

So, are we all good then?

Ms. Song, the fabricator misreported for sure.

By the way, what's up with In-ha? Why isn't she coming?

Something came up, so I can't come.

IN-HA

Your call is being forwarded to automatic voice message...

She's not picking up?

Yes.

You're not lying, are you?

I mean it. Your dream was real.

I'm sure you'll meet those people from your dream...

as I did.

Where are you going now?

Aren't you going to report this?

DEATH CERTIFICATE

OVERDOSE OF HYPNOTICS SEDATIVES

-This is a forgery? -Yes.

Here. This can't be blank.

If it's not applicable, it should say so.

If it is blank,

it means someone erased what was there.

This was forged. I'll have to check it.

No, you can't. This can't be a forgery.

That means Mr. Cho lied. That can't be.

Tell me it wasn't forged. Please?

Don't come.

-Don't come! -In-ha!

Hey! Stop right there!

In-ha!

In-ha!

Why are you running away?

Don't come closer.

Why are you hiccupping?

You checked the death certificate, right? It is certain that

your mom misreported, right?

Right?

-Dal-po... -Tell me it's right!

The death certificate was forged.

I checked and the original said it was suicide.

Mr. Cho fooled us.

Then, was Ms. Song correct?

Why did you...

Why did it have to be you? We were so close!

Why did it have to be you?

I'm sorry.

No.

There is no need to be sorry.

You just have to stay quiet.

Then, we can say Ms. Song misreported it

and she will never be a reporter again.

Ms. Song destroyed my family with lies.

Why can't I tell a little lie?

That's right! That's the right thing to do!

Fine.

Let's say my mother was wrong.

I just have to keep quiet.

I'll do it. I'll keep quiet.

Good. Never tell anyone.

I'm going to ruin your mom no matter what.

At least for my poor brother's sake, I can't stop here.

I will...

take this to the end.

Hurry up, let's go in. Look at this punk.

We're going to freeze to death. Let's go in.

What is his name?

His name is Gonzales.

Gon...

You cold-hearted punk.

You callous, vindictive punk.

Do you have a good water system?

Is the water pressure good?

Yes. It's good.

You're a punk with a heart as cold as ice.

Is the boiler oil or gas?

It's gas. What brings you...

I was going to cut you off and forget about you like you did.

I didn't want to be rude like you, so, I came here all the way here.

There shouldn't be a draft.

What about rice?

I have a lot.

This is my mobile phone number.

If he gets sick, please call me.

Yes, I will.

But what is your relationship with him?

We're brothers.

He is my big brother.

Pardon?

Don't follow us, you jerk.

You disobedient brat.

Just so you know, I won't ever dissolve your adoption.

No matter what anyone says, you're my son for life. Okay?

Let's go.

Stop following us.

If you keep following us, we won't come back.

Don't skip meals.

Don't be stingy with the boiler, and turn up the heat.

I know how hard it is for you. You are not fine.

I know you cry every night and miss Grandpa every minute.

But you'll act fine for Jae-myeong's sake.

I know you are not fine,

but I won't worry about you or comfort you because...

I hate seeing you falter more.

Did you check with all the other drivers?

-Yes. -Yes.

All ten of them said it wasn't suicide.

Even his family agreed to do an interview.

Was the death certificate good?

Yes. It was.

The hospital that issued it confirmed it.

I need to ask this just in case.

You didn't make your conclusion first and investigate this accordingly, right?

Mr. Hwang! We're not like Ms. Song, the fabricator.

We confirmed it for sure.

Fine.

A picket line is waiting for her when she goes to work,

so, go with a camera crew and get a shot.

Yu-rae, do you want to go?

No, I think Ha-myeong should go.

What's gotten into you?

I think this case is very meaningful for him.

I can't take away his chance to get Song Cha-ok back for what he went through

thirteen years ago.

Fine.

Then, Ha-myeong, you go.

Yes.

Good luck. I'll be cheering you on.

News fabrication is nonsense!

-Fabrication is nonsense! -Fabrication is nonsense!

Song Cha-ok, apologize!

-Apologize! -Apologize!

Song Cha-ok, tell the truth!

-Tell the truth! -Tell the truth!

-Apologize! -Apologize!

Did you check what time she comes to work?

She will be here soon.

Punish news fabrication!

-Punish! -Punish!

Song Cha-ok, resign!

-Resign! -Resign!

Song Cha-ok, step down!

-Step down! -I don't like this,

how we must shoot a story criticizing Ms. Song.

Are you guys okay?

Yes.

You've been hiccupping since yesterday. Are you really okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

We're here, Mr. Cho.

Let Song Cha-ok have it.

We'll capture it all.

Okay.

Everyone!

Let's get an apology from Song Cha-ok for sure today!

SONG CHA-OK, STEP DOWN

-We can do it! -There she comes!

-Hey! -Let's go!

-Stop. -Hey!

Song Cha-ok!

-Hey! -You.

-Stop! -Come out.

-Apologize! -Excuse me.

-Step down! -Step down!

Get out!

-Get out, you witch! -Step down!

-Get out! Now! -Song Cha-ok!

I'll get off here so, you should go in first.

No, it will get ugly if you get out now.

That's the point.

The cameras are here too.

With a few punches...

won't I become the victim?

Ms. Song!

Yes, about fabrication...

-Please, give us a statement. -Say something!

-Give us your excuse! -Ms. Song.

-Apologize! Song Cha-ok! -Please move.

-Move! -Look here.

Please, verify this one thing. Do you feel wronged?

-Why won't you defend yourself? -You made it up, didn't you?

-Has your father called? -Why didn't he come home?

Why is he hiding? Is it his guilt?

Why didn't you check the death certificate?

-If you are justified... -Shouldn't you explain?

If he isn't someone who would do that then why isn't he showing up?

If he did nothing wrong, there is no reason for him to hide, right?

Yes, he should have shown up if he did nothing wrong.

-Explain yourself. -Why can't you...

You've ruined my life. Got it?

Look at this with your own eyes.

Where does it say it was suicide?

My company went under because of you,

and I've been called a murderer.

I have nothing to live for. Do you realize that?

The broadcasting station should kick out reporters like her!

-You're right! -Yes! Get rid of her!

The death certificate was forged.

I checked and the original said it was suicide.

Mr. Cho fooled us.

-Yes! Get rid of her! -Let's kick her out!

-Get rid of her! -Kick her out!

You're a con artist.

You manipulated the news and ruined people's lives!

Did you expect to get away with it?

You deserve it!

Mr. Cho.

You forged this death certificate, didn't you?

-What? -Answer me.

Is it true that you forged it?

What do you mean? I didn't forge.

Why is he picking on him instead of her?

What are you?

You're working with Song Cha-ok, aren't you?

Each follows its own kind. Get lost!

Stop that.

We've checked with the hospital.

You deleted the box on the form that said he overdosed on sleeping pills.

Why did you forge the death certificate?

-Really? -What's going on?

-What is he saying? -What is this?

What?

Did he really commit suicide? Over 600 won?

All the other drivers and Mr. Cha's family said that

he died of a coronary artery disease like parrots,

as if they were coached.

Did you tell them to say that?

Please, tell us.

-He's right. -Well...

Why didn't I notice that?

They asked for the exact cause of death--

Why did they ask you instead of the doctor?

What?

Then, that man conned us?

He fooled us!

-Please, answer. -How dare you?

-Why can't you answer? -Please, tell us.

Fine.

I fooled you!

Do you expect me to stay quiet when my business went under?

I fooled you!

-I fooled you. -Hey!

-That jerk! -What?

-Get him! -Let's go.

-What was that? -Oh my god.

Follow him.

Did you also bribe the family?

Did you really forge the death certificate?

Why did you do it?

How could you fire someone over 600 won?

Even if it's 100 won, it is still embezzlement!

-What did I do wrong? -You monster!

-How dare you? -About Ms. Song...

-Just a minute. -Wait!

What are you doing?

I did what I must do as a reporter.

It's what you should have done 13 years ago.

I have a question.

Why don't people believe you even when you tell the truth?

Why can't you even believe in yourself?

Are you really a reporter?

I'm going to keep asking you that.

And until I hear your response...

I will never falter.

Rude punk.

CHAIRMAN

I'm sorry for causing a disturbance.

You should have seen Dal-po...

I mean Ha-myeong.

He was standing in front of Ms. Song, the fabricator,

and he said, "Are you really a reporter?"

Hearing that felt so cathartic.

Wow. He must have looked so cool.

He was totally cool.

Gosh, if it weren't for my sweetie, I would've accepted him.

-What do you mean? -Just something.

So, did Ms. Song look like she was hurt?

I'm not sure.

You know she can't show emotions because of the Botox.

I can't read her.

This will be my last day on MSC News.

What?

There has been many questions about me recently.

While these questions were all either misunderstandings or lies,

I plan to reflect on why this has happened instead of just feeling wronged.

I've decided to step down as the anchor to respect the faith that

you, the viewers, had in us.

Yeon Du-yeong will take over starting tomorrow.

She was hurt. Definitely.

I guess.

From now on, I will report from the scene

rather than from the studio.

This is Song Cha-ok with MSC News.

Thank you.

MSC NEWS

SECOND, I WILL MAKE SURE TO KEEP MY FIRST PROMISE

They're taking it down already when It's been just one day.

Yes. Hi.

I guess Ms. Song was hit hard with what happened yesterday, right?

I guess.

She really stepped down as an anchor?

She announced on the news last night that she's quitting.

You must have gotten her good.

You didn't seem so bright, but I guess I can trust you.

You were cool.

I wasn't cool at all.

I almost did the same thing she did.

How did you avoid it?

It was In-ha.

I realized yesterday

that Dal-po won't worry about me anymore.

I think he will be able to forget me and do what he needs to.

Are you happy?

Of course.

That always made me feel like I have done something wrong to him.

I can sleep in peace now.

You owe her.

If she hadn't hiccupped, you would've gone astray.

Yes.

-Did you thank her? -No.

I only got angry and resented her.

So, I feel bad.

You should tell her that, not me.

Apologies should be made in person.

If you say it to others, it's just pathetic guilt.

I know.

Do you want to get dinner?

It's my birthday today.

I don't have money for a gift.

I don't need a gift.

Just eat with me.

Sure.

I've been having a really tough time, you know.

I even lost my appetite.

You're eating way too well for someone without an appetite.

My life's curse is that

I always eat well and look healthy even if I'm upset.

Why were you so upset? What made you upset?

My mere existence upset me.

I was also upset about holding Dal-po back

and for always feeling like I did something wrong.

I'm a reporter too, but I wanted to hide the truth for him.

But I don't have to anymore, so, my appetite is back,

and even my intestines are working well.

Excuse me.

CHOI DAL-PO

You should tell her that, not me.

Apologies should be made in person.

UNCLE DAL-PO

Hello?

Why are you answering In-ha's phone?

I'm with her right now.

She's gone for a bit. What's up?

Where are you?

We are at Anna Capri across the station.

"Anna Capri"? That's near here.

The first floor of the aquarium, right?

Yes.

You said you and In-ha were over. Does that still stand?

What?

Yes.

Then, keep listening.

This is something I want to tell you, as well as In-ha.

-Do you feel relieved? -Yes. I feel like I can fly.

Do you remember how you said you thank the person who stole your texts?

Yes. Why that again?

You said that he was like your diary, someone you could speak your mind to.

And you said you're sad that you have no one to text anymore.

Yes, especially now. I have so much to say.

The person who stole those texts...

was me.

What?

Ms. Song left her mobile phone at my house years ago.

That's how I saw your texts.

-No way. -I'm sorry.

It was just for fun at first,

and that fun turned into curiosity.

And that curiosity...

made me want to meet you.

That's what made me find you and come all the way here.

I know who you like...

and how much you want to forget him.

I'll help you with that.

-Beom-jo. -Go out with me.

-Hey-- -You said Dal-po won't worry

about you anymore, so, you should find a way too.

Fine, I'll go out with you.

See? That doesn't work for me.

How could lying to both of us be a solution?

I'm sorry.

-We can start from there. -What?

I'll continue to be nice to you.

I'll be so nice

that you will feel too guilty to turn me down.

I'm not like Dal-po.

You don't hold me back and you don't have to feel guilty.

Thank you for thinking of me,

but I won't owe you enough to feel guilty

or feel so bad that I can't turn you down.

Let's just stay friends like we are now.

Okay?

I'll take care of this

since I ate more.

TOTAL AMOUNT 250,000 WON

I should've offered to go Dutch.

-Do you do installments? -The bill has been settled.

The gentleman left his card earlier.

He did? Thank goodness.

No, cancel that and charge it to my card please.

It's okay.

I'm treating since it's my birthday.

Then, let's split it. It was 125,000 won, was it?

I don't have cash on me,

so, I'll deposit it into your account.

I didn't even get you a gift. I feel bad.

I told you I want you to feel bad.

Get in.

I know who you like

and how much you want to forget him.

I'm not like Dal-po.

You don't hold me back and you don't have to feel guilty.

It isn't easy for a guy making photocopies to look sexy.

Ki Ha-myeong, you keep catching my eye lately.

What do you think her intention was?

What if she tortures you in the meeting?

That would be bad.

I'll be so stressed that I'll lose even more hair.

No way.

Ms. Song left her mobile phone at my house years ago.

That's how I saw your texts.

I didn't know

that you would walk away from your anchor's desk.

It isn't because of that incident.

It's because I need to cater to public sentiment.

If you cater to public sentiment...

can you return as well?

It's not that I can return or not.

I will return.

Do you know the chairwoman of Beomjo Department Store?

I saw her a few times at the Federation of the Korean Industries.

Why?

Not that. I mean, personally.

Did you go to her house 13 years ago?

I don't remember. Why?

I heard that you left your phone there.

Maybe I did.

Is that a problem?

No. It's just interesting.

It's more interesting to me that you're still here.

CHAIRMAN

DON'T WORRY I DON'T ABANDON MY PEOPLE THAT EASILY

Ms. Park,

there was a small disturbance at the Le Co Song shop.

A disturbance? What?

The Santa we had hired stole some things.

What?

Santa stole things?

Yes, we were so shocked...

Oh, my gosh.

There must have been many kids there.

Yes, since it is the Christmas season...

They must be traumatized from seeing Santa steal stuff.

Take me there. Which shop was it?

Why are you staring?

Is something on my face?

No.

Ha-myeong, do you have plans for Christmas?

Trainee reporters have no Christmas. I had no time to make plans.

So, you have no plans.

Then, I'll give you a very big gift.

"A gift"? What gift?

I'll tell you then.

You'll be shocked.

Gosh.

Hey.

Do you have any incidents to report? Do you have anything to share?

Do you think I'd tell you?

Do you want to make a deal? We'll trade.

-No thanks. -Even if it's something small.

I'm sorry about last time.

I know it was low, but I thought you should hear it too.

At least, you know it was low.

But I think it's not as low as you.

What?

Where do you learn a gesture like this?

I realized from hearing what In-ha said last night.

You use Jae-Myeong and Ms. Song as an excuse to make her feel guilty,

and you can't keep her or let her go now.

To me, it looks like you're just being a coward.

-If you're going to end it-- -I'm ending it.

Really?

-Then, I'll help-- -Don't say you'll help.

It's for me to end, not you.

My getting over In-ha has nothing to do with your feelings.

Don't use me as an excuse to confuse her.

Hey, watch what you say.

What?

HANGANG POLICE STATION

-What... -When did I...

I'm not done!

Hey.

What's happening?

Hey!

-You punk! -Darn it!

Let go!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

What? No.

Hey, how could you just stand there and throw your shoe?

Are you okay?

-Are you okay, Yu-rae? -Yes, I'm fine. Totally fine.

I'm fine. I really am.

You didn't see me because I'm so tiny, right?

You're scaring me.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad...

What happened? Did you let a suspect escape?

Can you pretend you didn't see anything?

-Definitely not! -Definitely not!

I'm only telling you guys,

so, don't say that I lost the suspect, got it?

Just tell us about the Santa.

If it sounds good, we'll keep quiet.

That Santa is a single father raising a son in middle school.

All his friends use a Le Co Song backpack.

He thought his son was an outcast because he didn't have one.

So, he got a job as a Santa at a department store.

He called his son there...

and saying it was an event...

he gave him a Le Co Song bag that he had stolen.

Why did he steal it? He should have bought it for him.

-How much could it cost? -Some people can't afford it.

Some people can't really afford it. It's super expensive.

It's a luxury brand import and costs over 800,000 won.

-That much? -That's so expensive.

Oh, my gosh. For a school bag?

Then, will you let him off with a warning?

It's a simple larceny,

but this is his second offense, so, he may be sent to prison.

His son will end up alone.

Oh, no. That's so sad.

It is sad, but that's ridiculous. It's a simple larceny.

Do you think it's simple?

A kid is going to be all alone because of a bag.

The fault isn't in the bag, but in the person who stole it.

Hey, that bag is at fault.

That bag caused people to be outcasts and led to assaults,

as well as suicide attempts.

This is huge.

Who imports such expensive bags?

Beomjo Department Store has exclusive import rights.

Beom-jo.

I'm really sorry, but I was scared of Ms. Park.

She seems naive but has an eeriness about her.

Yu-rae, get off that heating mat.

My mother bought that.

She's like a little girl. How can you call her eerie?

No, but her marketing strategy is scary.

It's for kids, but it costs more than double the price abroad.

This is newsworthy.

We charge that much because people buy it.

I don't think this is newsworthy.

And what if this is on the news and people start boycotting?

Will you take the responsibility?

Hey, don't pour it on. It's better to dip.

What about you? Don't you think it's newsworthy?

Yes, I investigated it too...

and that bag caused a caste system among students.

It worsened the outcast problem.

Why is that the bag's fault?

In-ha, what about you?

I prefer to pour it on.

Not that. The department store story.

Isn't it newsworthy?

I think...

it is newsworthy.

We must see if the price is reasonable and the marketing was proper.

I'm sorry Beom-jo, but I want to report it.

Beom-jo.

Seo Beom-jo!

REPORTERS' ROOM

Beom-jo.

You'll report it even if I ask you not to, right?

I can't, knowing what I know now.

I'm sorry.

Fine. Report it.

I hope you do the investigation as well.

That way, you'll feel really bad.

You should stop caring, you loser.

I know I'm a loser.

What are you doing there?

Gosh.

I was disciplined for losing that Santa.

I may be transferred to police division.

We covered for you for nothing.

Buy me a drink tonight.

Hey, today is Christmas Eve.

-Why should I-- -Do you have any other plans?

No.

They're so lucky. Darn it.

You have a wife at home.

That's why I'm more depressed.

If my wife finds out I was disciplined,

I might really meet Jesus on Christmas.

I'm sad too, but so are you.

What are you doing on Christmas Eve?

This is living it up...

compared to Jae-myeong.

Right.

Even drinking makes me feel bad.

Walking down the street makes me feel bad too.

Seeing people makes me feel bad.

Smiling at someone and having my heart race

makes me feel bad.

Hey.

Why do you feel bad?

Jae-myeong is Jae-myeong, and you are you.

Another jug of beer please.

You should feel bad for me rather than Jae-myeong.

Where do you live?

What's your address?

Hangang District, Seoul...

What? Gosh.

Hello, sir. Do you remember me?

I'm Chan-su.

I went to Chungpo High School with In-ha and Dal-po.

My daughter wasn't enough?

Now I have to take care of her drunk uncle too?

Oh, my gosh.

Where did you drink so much?

Oh, my gosh!

He kept saying he feels bad for Jae-myeong.

He feels bad for walking down the street.

Also, he feels bad for seeing people

and for looking at someone and smiling.

He kept drinking, and this is what happened.

Get up, you jerk.

-Dad. -Yes.

-I brought you ginkgo. -What?

-I know you like these. -What is it?

And I brought something for you too.

Dried squid for you.

It's a Christmas present.

Oh, my.

I brought rice crackers for In-ha. This is for her.

Did you pocket them to give as Christmas gifts?

I was wondering why you were pocketing them.

You fool.

Goodness!

Why did you bring all these?

Goodness!

The ginkgo is sweet.

Okay. I get it.

Goodness.

In-ha.

Hey.

Are you up?

You should sleep more.

You have a fever.

This is a dream.

Why did you drink so much? You can't even handle it.

Sleep some more. You look tired.

I can't stop you now.

But...

don't go to anyone else.

Okay. I won't.

I don't want to wake up.

Where am I?

Honey, get me some water.

What is he doing here?

Gosh. It reeks of alcohol.

I made hangover soup.

Chan-su!

Get up. Have some hangover soup.

Mr. Choi...

Come and eat.

I need to go.

Whether we go now or later, we're dead anyway.

Thank you for the meal!

-Aren't you eating, In-ha? -I already ate.

Sit down.

What are you doing? Let's eat.

Good, your fever is gone. Let's eat.

In-ha, do something about Dal-po's hair.

A bird may nest in it.

What?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I drank too much and was out of it.

-I'll never-- -Don't bother.

It doesn't look cool, so, let's just eat.

Okay, Merry Christmas. Let's eat.

-Yes. -Yes, sir. Merry Christmas.

When everything happened with Jae-myeong,

I was worried your dad would collapse from the shock.

-I'm glad he looks fine. -Yes.

ANGEL OF DEATH

Shoot, I'm dead. It's my wife.

Answer it and beg.

Why would a man beg?

Hi, honey. Merry Christmas.

I'm kneeling right now.

I slept at Dal-po's house. I mean it.

Why would you file a missing person report when I'm a policeman?

I'm sorry.

For what? It could happen when you get drunk.

I did the same when I got drunk.

Not that.

I'm sorry for telling you to lie the other day.

I'm very sorry.

A reporter should never say that.

I must have lost my mind.

Yes, you were mean.

But the questions you asked my mom were so cool

that I decided to forgive you.

-I wasn't cool. -You were.

I wanted to ask my mom about those things too.

I was happy that you could say whatever you wanted

without worrying about me.

I can face you comfortably now.

Okay.

-In-ha. Are you... -What?

Never mind. Let's go.

What's with the ribbon?

-Have you seen Ha-myeong? -No.

Why isn't he answering his phone?

You're out, Ha-myeong.

You no-good jerk.

FULFILLING OUR DUTY AS THE POLICE

That kid is here again. It's so cold out.

He's that Santa's kid, right?

Yes.

It wouldn't have gotten this bad

if it weren't for the department store chairwoman.

"The chairwoman"?

-Do you mean Beom-jo's mother? -Yes, that badger woman.

Everyone told her to let him go once they heard his story,

but she utterly refused and told them to call the police.

Really?

She didn't look that mean.

She seemed naive for her age too.

That naive woman said they cannot let him go

even when he begged.

Thanks to her, that kid will be separated from his dad,

and I got transferred to the police division.

-She really said that? -Yes.

That chairwoman is a cold-hearted badger.

Hey!

You can't see your dad even if you wait here.

I'll let you see him later.

Go home.

Yes, Hangang District's trainee reporter, Ki Ha-myeong.

You're going to Beomjo Department Store, right?

-Yes, Mr. Hwang. -Did you ask for permission?

Yes, we contacted their public relations group,

but they refused because they don't want the criticism from the city desk.

No investigation is welcomed

because reporters uncover what people want to hide.

If they refuse to cooperate, then...

you need to barge in.

BEOMJO DEPARTMENT STORE

Go easy on her.

What do you mean?

I mean, you're not so fond of me lately.

I'm worried you would take it out on my mother.

Do I look like I would do that?

Yes. Totally.

You're crazy.

Welcome...

You can't film here.

Excuse me.

Do you know that a theft happened because of this bag?

Excuse me. Stop filming.

Why is the same bag double the price here than in other countries?

I don't know.

I don't set the price.

What if they continue to refuse to do the interview?

Then, put the camera away and continue investigating.

"Put the camera away"?

We have to tape it,

but they can't let us.

Fine, I won't tape anything.

So, talk to us. Okay?

Put the camera down and pretend it's off.

Are you really not filming?

See? The camera light is off.

Thank goodness.

As soon as they think the camera is off,

they will speak honestly.

To be blunt, what did we do wrong? We just sell them.

The customers are the problem.

If an expert appears and asks the critical question,

we can get better information.

"An expert"?

Welcome.

How much is this bag?

I have my mom's card.

Which kind do you want?

I heard there is a class that is the most popular.

Two...

What was it?

Do you mean the Two Plus Class?

Parents have rated our bags into classes, just like how they do with beef.

This is a Two Plus Class. It's around one million won.

This is a One Plus Class. It's around nine hundred thousand won.

Wow, that's expensive. I wanted to get one for my nephew.

-I think YGN is already here. Let's hurry. -Yes.

You know the saying.

"It's a luxury item because it's expensive."

It needs to be expensive for people to want it.

That's enough.

But when it's still for kids,

is a luxury item marketing strategy needed?

I said that's enough!

What do you want to hear?

That my mother bleeds parents dry?

That she's just a businesswoman who is obsessed with money?

What do you want to say?

I want to find the truth.

According to what we've heard, what you said is true.

What?

Don't talk about my mother that way.

Stop that!

We're in the middle of an investigation!

What are you two doing?

What do you think you're doing?

What's going on?

-Stop it! -What's wrong?

You'll end up on the news yourself at this rate.

Gosh.

If you're mad at me, take it out on me.

Don't make my mother out to be a witch!

Put your emotions aside and think like a reporter.

Don't you see your mother's antics?

Stop it. You're crossing the line.

-What? -You didn't even hear her side.

It's too soon to judge her and say she's materialistic.

You...

BEOMJO DEPARTMENT STORE SALES REPORT

You should step down for now.

I'm sorry for causing a disturbance.

Don't worry.

I don't abandon my people that easily.

I'll trust you and wait.

CHOI DAL-PO

It really was a dream.

Why is your shirt so big?

It was Dal-po's shirt, so it's big.

At least, sew on a button.

It's cold out.

Is it?

Thanks...

for taking my side.

I didn't take your side. Don't get the wrong idea.
