UDON

Don't be sorry.

To me, you are not Ms. Song's daughter or my niece.

To me, you're just you.

Dal-po... I mean, Ha-myeong.

You can call me Dal-po.

I tried so hard.

I did everything I could,

but it's still the same.

When I think about my dad, my brother, and your mother...

I know this is wrong,

but I can't give up.

So let's...

I feel the same way.

Taxi!

Why aren't there any taxies?

Do you want to walk to a bigger street?

It may be easier to catch a taxi there.

It's pretty far, though.

Do you want to stop by my place?

"My place"? Which place?

The place where I live now. It's across the street.

Hey. What? How could you say that?

I can't. No way!

Why are you getting so worked up?

Are you letting your imagination run wild?

No, I'm not.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird for me to go to your place?

You really don't know what that means?

What does it mean? I just want to treat your wounds.

If I see an injured stray cat, I take it home and treat it.

That's what I mean.

Then, are you saying I'm a stray cat?

I'm saying your situation is like that of a stray cat.

Get on my back first.

Then I'll leave after exactly five minutes.

It will look weird if I stay longer.

Even five minutes is long.

It's okay. I can do it now.

Stay still.

Why didn't you say anything before it got this bad?

I really didn't know.

It didn't hurt at all.

All done.

It took exactly four minutes. Satisfied?

Good. Thanks. I'll get going now.

I'll go with you and get you a taxi.

Dal-po, it's Dad.

Dal-po, are you home?

Oh, no. Dad is here.

-I think I hear something. -What?

Dal-po!

This is for the best. Let's just tell them about us.

Are you insane? We can't.

They'll get the wrong idea if we tell them like this.

Absolutely not.

Not now. Not like this.

It's cold.

What were you doing? It's cold.

What took you so long? We were about to freeze to death.

I was in the bathroom.

Were you with someone? I heard voices.

No, I'm alone.

What was that sound?

My throat is a little sore.

What brings you here at this hour?

The butcher freshly butchered a cow, so we brought some beef

and some groceries too.

You didn't need to do that.

Oh, gosh.

Are you turning up the heat? You should keep your place warm.

Yes, I am. I'm turning it up.

Gosh. That's hurting my ears.

You shouldn't turn on music at night.

It disturbs the neighbors.

Let's go, Father. I put everything away.

Sure.

Okay.

You should eat everything we brought.

Your room is still empty.

Dal-pyeong says he doesn't want to use it.

-Bye. -Good night.

In-ha, how could you sleep in this situation?

You're up.

You should have woken me. I'll get going now.

Wash up first. You're a mess.

No, I need to go. Bye.

Five minutes passed a long time ago.

It's too late anyway, so wash up and have breakfast.

Are you okay? This isn't awkward for you?

Not at all.

We lived, ate, and passed wind together in the same house for 13 years.

I find you keeping your distance even more awkward.

Wash up. Let's eat and go to work.

Okay.

That was close.

Father, I think Dal-po has a girl.

What? A girl?

I saw a strand of long hair on the floor when we went over last night.

Oh, my.

Do you think it's the girl we met at the police station?

I wouldn't know who it is.

But how could he bring a girl to his place?

He's old enough to.

He's at the age when he's burning up, so why not?

What do you mean "Why not"?

How long has it been since they broke up that he has a new girl already?

That isn't right.

How could love change?

Is this coming from someone who is divorced?

The meal looks rather simple.

-Is this how you usually eat? -Yes.

There isn't much, right?

Should I cook up some meat that Dad brought over?

No, give me a minute. I'll prepare something.

Now that's a breakfast.

You're right.

-Come and eat. -What? Okay.

You took a picture with your brother?

Yes. It was the day he turned himself in.

I see.

Why are you hiccupping?

Well...

I realized after last night and today. I don't think I can do it.

I have to hide if I see Dad, and I feel bad if I see your brother.

And my mom...

No matter how hard I try, I can't forget about my mom when I look at you.

But I refuse to give up on you.

So, can you wait for me?

I'll make my mom apologize to you and Jae-myeong.

Then my burden will be lifted, and I'll be able to face you.

You stopped hiccupping.

What?

Yes.

That will make you feel better?

No matter how many times I say that I'm fine,

it won't be good enough, right?

Fine, let's do that, then.

INVESTIGATION DIVISION

Beom-jo, you heard, right?

Ha-myeong found the black box.

-Yes. -YGN said they'd share it with us,

so we can use the video too.

Isn't that great?

That's great.

I want to stop her from being such a fool,

but she won't listen to a thing I say!

I tell her that she did nothing wrong,

that it isn't her responsibility and to take a break,

but she won't listen to me!

Because that would only work...

if you tell her all that.

Stupid moron.

Dim-witted imbecile.

Book the restaurant for the company outing.

-You know Myeonggyogwan, right? -Yes.

The most important thing is to secure a room.

We don't want to be in the main hall, so confirm we have a room...

We gave the black box you found to the police.

They're investigating right away.

Hyeon-gyu will be following through on that story.

We'll get all the investigative reporters on the police,

Prosecutors' Office, and the plant.

So, don't worry. This story will not be buried.

Thank you, Mr. Hwang.

It's been a while, Gyo-dong.

Yes it has, Ms. Song.

We obtained the black box video exclusively,

but given its importance, we've decided to share it.

When will MSC air it?

I don't know. I'm not interested.

You seem excited about finding that video.

Yes, because it has the missing scenes that you had edited out.

It's critical evidence that will change the course of news coverage.

I can't wait.

You think that's enough to change the flow?

It has to.

We'll get every investigative reporter on it

to dig up everything we can.

We won't let this incident fizzle out.

Whatever.

But can you really reignite a flame that died?

I'm worried for you.

CHAIRWOMAN

SELECTED MESSAGES WILL BE DELETED

ALL DELETED

You seemed to be close with Ms. Song.

Hey, that's an insult.

Yu-rae, are you just clocking in?

I was deserted

What do you mean? Who deserted you?

You did.

I was deserted

She's scaring me.

To be more exact I think I've been rejected

-For a fact -What's wrong with her?

I was deserted

I don't know.

You must have done something wrong.

-Mr. Hwang! -"Hello. Nice to meet you."

"Thank you" is "spasibo."

What's this? Why are you speaking in Russian?

Three investigative reporters from city desk will be

going to Russia for the Sochi Winter Olympics.

I happened to have minored in Russian.

You can say I'm the top runner to go to Sochi.

-Reporters are being sent to Olympics? -Yes, three of them.

Spasibo.

That's hot.

The Olympics?

Six investigative reporters will be sent to Sochi.

And you'll be covering

the families of the athletes that are likely to win medals.

And the people cheering at various locations.

Mr. Kim, what about the black box video then?

We found a lead for finding out who was responsible for the fire.

What about that?

We'll continue with that too.

But the Olympics is huge.

Regarding the fire case,

we'll just report what the police tells us and end it there.

That isn't enough.

Another victim just died yesterday.

The number of victims who died went up from 16 to 17 now.

I know. I'm upset about it too.

But this is the Olympics.

Three investigative reporters from city desk is too much.

We have so much to investigate.

There are plenty of reporters in politics and economics.

-We took people from there too. -This won't do.

I can't lose anyone.

We're overflowing with things to investigate.

First, we need to check Chanju Environment

and find its connections to the plant,

and if there was a problem with the licenses too.

We gave the police the black box video.

We did all we could as reporters.

Those responsible will be caught one by one.

Once the Olympics begin, half the news will be devoted to it.

The investigative team needs to cover the Olympics too.

We must tell the world about those responsible.

That's our job.

To correct one incorrect report,

it takes ten... no, a hundred reports.

If we stop now, it will all be forgotten before being set right.

It will get buried by the Olympics!

Did I say we would bury it?

I just mean the Olympics is much bigger right now.

MSC is sending six reporters to Sochi.

We're being modest.

But can you really reignite a flame that died?

I'm worried for you.

When they were extinguishing the fire, there was an explosion from within.

Nine firefighters died, and one is still missing.

-This is NTS Breaking News. -This happened then too.

The rage immediately after the fire burned hot.

And my dad and family had to handle that rage.

But as newer news came out...

Hyundai beat Samsung in Game four of the baseball playoffs.

The world's interest and rage slowly cooled off.

And by the time the true culprit was identified

This is NTS news brief.

Including the plant manager, two were sentenced to 120 hours

of community service and a year of probation

for the fire at the waste-disposal plant.

The rage cooled down and no one was interested.

I am still too young...

and too powerless

to change the flow.

Ms. Song is so consistent. She is always alone.

Help me, Ms. Song.

You have the power to change the flow right now.

-Please do it. -What do you mean?

We found the scenes that were edited out.

We proved that you lied. Then--

I did not lie.

I didn't know it had been edited.

It's a mistake any reporter can make.

If it was a mistake, you need to fix it.

Don't cover it up. That is what a reporter should do.

Even if I don't fix it, it will happen automatically.

Because of what you found,

those responsible will be caught and punished.

It sounds like a happy ending to me.

No.

It will be forgotten

as it was 13 years ago.

That's what you're hoping for.

That's why you framed Chan-su

just as you framed Mr. Ki Ho-sang 13 years ago.

There you go again with the ridiculous speculations.

I wish it's just speculation.

I wish it's a mistake like you claim.

If it was intentional...

you won't even be able to apologize.

You told me to apologize before. Why are you so obsessed with apologies?

It has nothing to do with you.

Because it has to do with the person I like.

I like...

Dal-po very much. So...

I really want him to hear your apology.

What was that?

Ms. Song's daughter likes YGN's Ki Ha-myeong?

I guess so.

But they are the sworn enemies.

How is that possible?

WE HOPE THE 17TH DEATH WILL NOT BE IN VAIN

LEE YEONG-SUK, KI HA-MYEONG

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

You said you're a reporter.

Don't apologize and...

please tell us what happened.

We don't even know who we should be angry at.

Why are you here?

For the same reason as you.

Because as a reporter, I feel ashamed and guilty.

Yes.

Once the Olympics begin, this will be forgotten, right?

Yes.

It gets forgotten way too easily.

We are much more powerless than I thought.

I know.

MYEONGGYOGWAN RESERVATION AT 7:00 P.M.

What is the text about?

We have a company outing in the midst of this.

It's a confirmation text.

Really?

We're having one too. Which place did you guys book?

-Myeonggyogwan. -Really? Us too.

Come on. You confirmed that we had a room reserved.

I'm sorry, we double-booked again...

We'll get you a room right away. Don't worry.

Since you double-booked us, give us a discount.

Discounts, please.

I will.

-Here. -Yes.

-Mr. Hwang. -Here's to YGN.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Thank you for the meal.

Fill them up.

Yes.

Here.

To MSC!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Let's drink.

I don't see In-ha.

There she is.

Why are you so late? Come and sit.

Yes.

They're enemies, but don't they look good together?

They have the couple costume.

Is that funny to you?

No.

He's with YGN?

Yes. He's Ki Ha-myeong. Ki Jae-myeong's little brother.

What?

Ki Jae-myeong's brother.

Right!

I heard business trips abroad are challenging

and Russia is extremely cold.

I'm resilient to the cold and jetlag.

I was built to be a foreign correspondent.

This will be a good opportunity to prove that.

Okay. You've all worked very hard

covering all the cases from the scenes.

Let's use the Olympics to bring joy

to the people, and send our ratings up and up

through the roof! Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Up and up!

In-ha, why aren't you toasting?

You're dressed depressingly too.

Were you at a funeral or something?

Yes.

I went to Hangang waste-disposal plant fire

victim's funeral.

I see.

One of the injured just passed away,

but not a single reporter came today.

Good job. At least you went, so it's all good.

I don't know.

I disagree.

What? That's my line.

The victims' families still don't know who is responsible.

They said I would know since I'm a reporter,

but I couldn't say a single word.

How is it "all good"?

This is a happy day. Let's not talk about work.

What's wrong with that trainee reporter? She's killing the mood.

What?

She's saying all the right things.

It's obvious it'll be forgotten at this rate.

If you're a reporter, it's only natural to have those thoughts.

There will be plenty of news that people will want to watch.

Dragging out old news is not something a reporter should do.

Witch.

Seventeen people died.

We still don't know who is responsible for the fire.

How is it old news?

It might not be what people want to watch, but it is something that they must watch.

It's a company outing. Come on.

News they must watch? And who decides that?

If you ignore what the viewers want to watch and push that viewpoint,

you are not a reporter but a teacher.

Whatever.

Mr. Lee, which would you choose?

News people want to watch versus news they must watch?

Well...

They are both important.

But if I had to choose one...

I'd say news they want to watch.

How could you say that right now?

I agree. Me too.

It's been a while that we're on the same page.

True. The fire case doesn't compare to the Olympics.

Right, Mr. Jung, I almost forgot.

I have a few messages to relay.

What are they?

I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?

Yes? Let's hear the good news first.

Someone from the culture team gave me concert tickets for you.

He said all the top K-pop stars will be there.

Really?

Will Apink be there? What about Girl's Day?

I think they'll all be there.

Wow! Awesome!

Nowadays, everything is working smoothly for me.

So what is the bad news?

The results of your medical check-up are out and...

you have pancreatic cancer.

What? I do?

Are you serious?

Why are you saying that now?

You should have told us sooner.

You shouldn't be drinking. What should we do?

I have pancreatic cancer.

No wonder.

You should have told me as soon as you found out!

Why? Pancreatic cancer isn't news that you want to know about.

Isn't the concert tickets the news you want to know about?

So clearly, that comes first.

What?

Ha-myeong,

did you just toy with me?

I'm sorry for toying with you.

But I was curious.

Between news you want to know and news you must know,

which should come first.

Thank you for the answer, Mr. Jung.

I think he just played me again.

No.

He played me, not you.

GOLD MEDALS EXPECTED ON SHORT TRACK

SOCHI OLYMPICS ABOUT TO START

The countdown has begun for the Winter Olympics in Russia.

Artists representing Russia gathered to present their history and...

Seventeen people died.

We still don't know who is responsible for the fire.

How is it old news?

But I was curious.

Between news you want to know and news you must know,

which should come first.

It might be not what people want to watch, but it is something that they must watch.

Investigative team, pull out of Olympics coverage

and focus on the waste-disposal plant fire.

Work with reporters at City Hall and find out

what type of waste they were permitted to dispose of.

Have the trainee reporters camp out

at police and fire stations.

Find out what documents were seized by the police.

And find out just how this illegal waste

made its way into this plant

to cause this mess.

Work with the politics team and find out

if any politicians helped them out.

Yes, sir.

Why don't we let Hyeon-gyu go to Sochi?

He wants to go that badly.

Keep him here.

I minored in Russian

for the day I'd go to Sochi,

but I can't go!

Why not?

Because of Ki Ha-myeong.

Jae-hwan, bundle up.

We have to visit the Prosecutors' Office, the police,

the National Assembly and City Hall

all night long and camp over there in this cold weather.

Wow.

Thanks to you, I feel like a real reporter.

Thanks.

Spasibo

-Woo-chul. -Yes?

Look into pollution in the water and soil near the plant.

Check with the borough office.

-Yes. -Yu-rae.

Look into the link between the cause of the fire and Mr. An.

-Yes, Mr. Hwang. -Ha-myeong.

Work with Reporter Jo Seong-ho of politics

and look into all the politicians.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

Jae-hwan, where are you going?

We're very busy visiting the police, Prosecutors' Office,

National Assembly, and borough office.

I'm really busy. And you?

I'm reporting on the opening of the Olympics, so I'm going to

bathhouses and chicken places to do a story on fried chicken.

What are you wearing?

It's called the "Almost Sochi" look. There is something like that.

I heard all of it.

You're off to the waste-disposal plant instead of to Sochi.

Stop yapping.

At the company outing, Ki Ha-myeong, was it?

When he started running his mouth, I knew this would happen to you.

You better watch out for him. He totally played you.

I don't know. I disagree.

What?

Until 30 seconds ago, I really longed for Russia.

But seeing you now, I think Ha-myeong was right.

Why? Because you are always without a doubt

consistently wrong!

Thanks for making me come to my senses.

Spasibo, Il-ju.

Let's go, Jae-hwan!

Okay.

Ju-ho.

Am I always wrong?

The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics opened with flair

and now the 17 days of excitement have begun.

Here are the highlights from the opening ceremony.

The international event, the 2014 Sochi Olympics have begun.

Let's turn to the highlights of the grand opening ceremony.

With the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics' grand opening ceremony,

17 days of excitement have begun.

However, before reporting on the festivities,

YGN has decided to report on

the fire at the Hangang waste-disposal plant

that occurred on the 28th.

We believe news broadcasts exist to uncover those responsible

for the fire, and to be voices of the families of the deceased.

And not let those be buried by the fanfare of the festivities.

The cause of the fire has been finally discovered.

The explosion was caused by oil mist from illegal chemical waste.

Reporter Jang Hyeon-gyu exclusively reports.

HANGANG WASTE-DISPOSAL PLANT FIRE

I'm at the scene of the fire at the waste disposal plant

which killed or injured over 40 people.

Investigators have found that the explosion was caused by oil mist.

But questions remained as to why there was oil mist

in an ordinary waste disposal plant.

A black box video that YGN exclusively obtained shows

dozens of trucks carrying illegal chemical waste

going into the plant before the fire broke out.

Hey, you're investigating this case thoroughly, right?

They'll keep broadcasting about that until everyone is caught.

So, be on your toes.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Recent developments show that Officer An, who had been

criticized for failing to prevent the fire,

had absolutely nothing to do with the fire.

According to the police, the cause of the fire was

the illegal chemical waste that was brought into the plant

two hours after Officer An had left.

The illegal chemical waste flowed all the way here

and polluted this entire area.

The smell is overwhelming...

Go investigate the state of the area in the plant's vicinity.

They keep talking about it on the news every day.

We'll be in deep trouble if the inspectors show up.

After YGN's reports,

the Prosecutors' Office has started investigating aggressively.

After investigating the corruption behind the license granted to the plant,

the Prosecutors' Office arrested Mr. Kim Gyeong-u.

The homes of over ten people involved were searched,

and records of illegal funds and evidence were found.

It indicated Mr. Kim continuously received money and valuables

and special treatment, which led to him being brought in.

Mr. Kim had served four terms in Hangang District alone,

and has been indicted for receiving bribes.

If sentenced to prison, he will lose his seat in the Assembly.

ASSEMBLYMAN KIM GYEONG-U

With YGN News, I am Ki Ha-myeong.

MR. KIM GYEONG-U

Yes, Mr. Kim.

It's just a formality, so you don't need to worry.

I tried to stop it as well as I could.

Yes. I'll come and see you soon.

What's wrong with YGN? Have they lost their minds?

What about the Olympics? Why are they annoying me with old news?

Did they give up on ratings?

I'm so annoyed.

I lost one of our assemblymen because of them.

The Olympics is half over.

The moments of glory fill the news daily.

However, the families of the 17 who died in the mysterious fire

cannot join in the festivities.

There are people who want the news of these people

to be buried under the news of the exciting events.

They are the people responsible for this fire.

Until those responsible and those behind them

are revealed and until they pay for their crimes,

we will not ignore this story and will continue to report on it.

It would have been nice if they had done this for our dad.

Right?

Yes.

I hated reporters with such a passion.

So, I had hoped all the reporters would disappear.

But I'm glad you became a reporter.

Yes.

Is it over now?

No, this is just the beginning.

I still have so many questions to ask.

The footage of Lee Gyu-hyeok's family cheering?

Yes, Mr. Lee. Okay.

Hey, I see you.

Why are you hiding?

Because I'm so ashamed.

Of what?

You're following the fire and reporting it

and all we're doing is reporting whatever the police gives us.

You're sorry again?

Yes. I feel guilty toward Chan-su

and the families of the deceased too. And--

Take me off that list.

I hate hearing you say you feel bad and apologizing.

You competed with Lee Gyu-hyeok, didn't you?

That's correct. Lee Gyu-hyeok's personal record was 14.26 seconds in 2009.

Mother, Father.

We'll do an interview right after it's over, okay?

Let's go, Lee Gyu-hyeok!

If Lee Gyu-hyeok is confirmed to have won the gold,

you start interviewing the family too.

His mother is likely to cry, so you need to get her reaction.

Yes.

-He looks good. -It's starting!

I went to three homes of the most promising gold medal winners.

They were all busts.

I went to four.

I went to Itaewon and grabbed any Russian person I saw,

and asked "Do you know kimchi?" around 100 times.

Hello. You're all here.

Thanks to you, I've been cleared...

and I can sleep peacefully.

-Jun-gyu, say "Thank you." -Thank you.

-Thank you. -What? Yes.

Hey, MSC targeted your dad and only reported the Olympics.

YGN is the only one who deserves to eat this.

Stop that. You can only do what the higher-ups tell you.

If we went to MSC, we would have covered the Olympics too.

Are you taking In-ha's side right now?

Your devotion is making me cry.

I'm so sad I want to cry!

-What's wrong with her? -I don't know.

She scares me at times.

No, Yu-rae is right.

I can't face you, Chan-su.

How could we not say one line about the fire?

Does that even make sense?

But I know how you feel, so don't be so hard on yourself.

And thanks to Mr. Seo Beom-jo, I hold no grudge against MSC.

What do you mean?

Mr. Seo Beom-jo gave us a very generous gift

at our baby's first birthday party.

Where is he?

There are many similarities to the fire 13 years ago.

Both were disposing regular waste but had explosive fires.

Reading through them all now, it was awkward and overblown.

It's as if they were diverting the attention to your dad.

You said Song Cha-ok left her phone at your house 13 years ago?

Do you remember the date?

It was October 23, 2000.

My mother passed away on October 22, 2000.

Mr. Kim had served four terms in Hangang District alone,

and has been indicted for receiving bribes. If sentenced...

Beom-jo.

What are you doing here?

It's natural that you come home. How did we end up like this?

What is it? Do you need something?

I don't need anything.

I have a few questions.

What could they be?

Don't put on such a serious look. My son is starting to scare me.

Why are you scared?

Do you already know what I'd ask?

You met Ms. Song 13 years ago, didn't you?

Beom-jo, I told you before--

That isn't my question.

I'm telling you a fact that I've confirmed.

The recent fire is

very similar to the one 13 years ago with Mr. Ki Ho-sang.

They framed someone completely unrelated, and...

when the truth was about to be uncovered, new stories buried it.

The one changing the focus back then was Ms. Song Cha-ok,

as well as this time.

That ended up

destroying Ki Ho-sang's family.

And on the next day, on October 23, 2000,

you met with Ms. Song Cha-ok.

I have reason to believe you met with Ms. Song this time too.

What are you trying to say?

Mr. Kim Gyeong-u is behind this fire.

He's so close that I even call him "Uncle."

And he's even closer with you.

So...

are you saying I have something to do with those incidents?

Yes.

Ms. Song, Mr. Kim Gyeong-u,

and you.

I think all three of you are involved with these incidents.

Am I wrong?

I told you before.

Don't act like a reporter to me.

Mother!

If you quit being a reporter, I'll tell you then.

All we can do when we're full of suspicion

is to ask questions.

Those questions seemed powerless, but...

It's me.

I think we need to be careful for the time being.

The assemblyman was subpoenaed,

and my son keeps asking questions about what happened 13 years ago.

It's disconcerting.

The more questions we ask, the harder they try to hide the answers.

Make sure to cover your tracks just in case.

We should minimize contact too.

Yes, Ms. Park.

Their movements to hide the answers eventually...

become the key to find those answers.

Did Ms. Song lose something?

She keeps looking for something.

I don't know. She asked me before like it wasn't important,

but I guess it is.

She keeps looking for it.

I didn't know you'd walk away from your anchor desk.

Don't tell me...

Are you doing a report on Sochi Olympic's best prospect for a gold medal?

Yes.

Have you...

seen my old mobile phone?

Pardon?

I was wondering if you took it when you helped me pick up my things.

Yes, I think I may have taken it.

Why did you take it?

I was just curious as to

what I had said in my texts.

How silly. When will you give it back?

I'll bring it tomorrow.

There are several awkward phrases. Take it as a reference.

-In-ha. -Yes?

Give me that mobile phone.

Why?

Don't ask, and give it to me. It was mine from the start.

What's going on?

Why are you and Ms. Song suddenly so interested in it?

You don't need to know. Just give it to me.

I will if you tell me why.

You know that in the recent fire and the one from 13 years ago,

public sentiment was manipulated, right?

Yes.

I think Ms. Song

and my mother were involved in both of those incidents.

I do too.

And I think that proof...

may be on that mobile phone.

On the phone? Why?

Come to think of it, it was strange.

It was empty except for your texts.

Why weren't there any messages or call records from before then?

Ms. Song must have been using the phone before your texts.

As in, she intentionally deleted everything before that?

Maybe.

MESSAGE BOX

RECEIVED MESSAGES

I MISS YOU, MOM

IT WAS MY FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL

NO MORE MESSAGES

Can I recover deleted call records and text messages?

It's from 1999.

It's a piece of cake.

We can recover the contacts, text messages, attachments,

call records, everything.

How long will it take?

I don't know. We'll have to see.

It'll take a few hours at the fastest and a couple days at most.

I can email everything to you if it's urgent.

Yes, please. Email it to me.

Please fill out this form.

But you know, right?

The request must be made by the account holder of the phone.

We can't do it otherwise.

Pardon? The account holder?

You need to be here for them to recover the data.

What? Did you come to recover the messages without me?

Well...

if what you say is true, it will hurt you just as much as me.

So, I thought it would be better for just one person to be hurt.

Thanks for your concern, but I'm not that frail.

How do I make the request?

I have a colleague named Cha Woo-chul who looks old for his age.

He looked into the polluted underground water and I worked--

No need to explain everything. We can watch the news here too.

I saw everything.

Really? You saw me report?

Yes.

But you looked pretty stiff.

I can tell you're trainee reporter.

Hey.

Thank goodness you're a reporter.

Trying to make me feel better after teasing me?

I think I can watch and trust in the news

that you report.

You're hot here...

and cold here.

You're the opposite of somebody.

Who, Ms. Song?

Yes.

Hello? Were you able to restore the messages?

Yes. I sent the results to the email address you left.

You can check it now.

Yes. Thank you.

Did you get the call too?

Yes.

There were that many deleted messages?

Yes.

THE CHAIRWOMAN, HUSBAND

Who is "Chairwoman"?

RECOVERED TEXT MESSAGES

My mother.

Really?

Yes.

This is my mother's old number.

The last four digits are still the same.

Open the messages.

RECOVERED TEXT MESSAGES

CHAIRWOMAN

We need a place to divert the attention.

Try to frame Mr. Ki Ho-sang in a negative light.

Why do you think Mr. Ki gave an excessive order to send them in?

Was he interested in the promotion--

My father isn't like that!

Attack his family if necessary.

You're saying your father is blameless?

How lucky that a Pinocchio witness came forth.

Use that...

A witness saw him alive.

That witness has the Pinocchio syndrome. So, he can't be lying.

I'm sure it's him.

I have the Pinocchio syndrome. I can't lie.

Fuel the rage of the nation toward him as much as possible.

You're happy your father is alive, right?

But many people believe it is too light a penalty for a man

who sent nine firefighters to their death.

Many people are infuriated.
