They buzz around annoyingly.

They get into my head to the point that it annoys me.

They humiliate me to the point that it annoys me...

THE CITY DESK

I'm back, Mr. Kim.

Good. I'm glad you're back.

I'm glad you're back.

I'm sorry for causing you concern.

If you're sorry, work hard.

If you lower your voice now, you will have many opportunities

to speak loudly as a reporter in the future.

-So, for now-- -No.

I won't lower my voice now either.

If I were going to, I wouldn't have returned.

Hey!

Why are you doing this?

I respect you, Mr. Kim.

I genuinely believe you're a good reporter.

"We witness things for the welfare of the public.

We report the news based on it for the welfare of the public."

We report the news based on it for the welfare of the public

and make the district official watch that news!

"and make the district official watch that news!"

-We make the president watch it! -"We make the president watch it!"

-We make the world watch it! -"We make the world watch it.

That's how reporters help the public!"

I remember what you told me

down to every word and intonation.

When did I say that? I don't really remember.

You did, when she was doing a story on icy streets.

Did I?

Why did I say that?

I think you are briefly hiding your true face right now.

No, this is my true face.

I'm not hiding anything. This is the real me.

I'll see you later at the meeting.

I will trust you and follow you.

Hey, In-ha!

Why is she trusting me as she pleases?

Even I don't know myself. How could you know me...

and trust me?

Do you think Ms. Song will change?

To be honest, I don't know.

We don't know.

We played our hand, but...

I wonder if we were too reckless.

Then, should I go and ask for the text messages back?

Can you?

Mr. Hwang.

I'm just kidding.

But how are you so relaxed?

I'm not relaxed, but...

I do have another source to expose the connection

between Ms. Song and Ms. Park.

What is that?

Did you find more evidence?

I have an informant.

"An informant"? Who?

I was asked not to disclose his identity, so I can't tell you.

He said he would contact me as soon as he gathers evidence.

You don't have to worry about the text messages anymore.

I got the mobile phone back

and the copy of the text messages as well.

Ki Ha-myeong promised not to report on them too.

As usual, you took care of everything nicely.

I don't trust Ki Ha-myeong, but I trust my people.

But...

when can I meet In-ha?

Everything has been resolved.

Is there a need to meet her?

I'll personally keep her under control.

Will you, then?

I have an afternoon meeting, so I should get going.

What a shame.

Let's get together again when you have more time.

Yes, Ms. Park.

You know,

come to think of it, this is a first.

Pardon?

It's the first time you ever refused me.

Let's get together soon.

Ms. Song.

We have a meeting later.

I won't be attending anymore so you can handle it.

-Why not? -Why not?

What do you mean? Are you sad? Should I attend it?

No. Sad? Not at all.

-Are you that happy? -Of course, I am.

I felt like I was invisible the whole time.

Now I don't need to worry about anyone.

It's my world now.

I need to use the toilet.

I believe the coverage on Mr. An was

a disgraceful misreport for MSC.

Are you bringing up past news again?

It may still be going on now.

Ms. Song lied in her report and investigation.

She lied that she retrieved the video from the plant,

and the part showing the cause of the fire was edited out.

So, what do you want to do?

Do you want to advertise that Ms. Song misreported and humiliate her?

No, I'm saying that we should correct what we did wrong.

We should report why Ms. Song lied in her report

and who ordered her to do so.

If someone else reports it, it would be a disgrace.

But if we report it, it would be an act of introspection.

Mr. Kim.

What?

Yes. I guess so.

Then, let's take a vote.

Who thinks it makes sense to do a report that attacks Ms. Song?

Mr. Kim.

Did you raise your hand?

What?

No. I have a loose thread, so I lifted my arm.

Who is presenting next?

With her already big eyes, she goes...

"I trust you, Mr. Kim." and pokes my conscience.

It's killing me.

Don't worry about what a rookie reporter says.

Should I just act dumb

and report it to Ms. Song?

Have you lost your mind?

You'll tell Ms. Song a story that criticizes her?

That's exactly why I should tell her.

If I tell Ms. Song, she'll kill it at her end.

Then, I would have done my duty as a reporter.

I mean, I'll just pretend to try.

I see, you'll just pretend.

Yes, I'll just pretend.

It'll save my face.

Excuse me? What did you say, Ms. Song?

Do the story.

-Why? -You said In-ha proposed it.

Look into it quietly without Mr. Yeon finding out.

But Ms. Song, this is about...

No, this story will criticize our company.

You really want us to do it?

Do it.

I'll do the report myself. Investigate the story properly.

I'm doomed.

I'm totally doomed.

Why?

She said to do it.

Who said to do what?

Ms. Song ordered me to do the story that In-ha proposed.

Ms. Song said she would report it herself.

We'll really run the story?

But you're supporting your family abroad.

If you are fired...

Honey? It's me.

What does it matter if it's night or day there?

Whatever.

Pull the kids out of school and pack your things.

I'm going to get fired soon.

How will we live now?

Do you know how to fry chicken?

Should we open a chicken place?

Yes, Mr. Yeon. What is it?

We have a bit of a situation.

"A situation?"

Yes.

I see.

I had an inkling that would happen.

What is Ms. Song so discontent about?

Fine. I'll figure out a way.

When can I meet In-ha?

Everything has been resolved.

Is there a need to meet her?

Do you remember the texts you exchanged with MSC's Song Cha-ok?

I don't remember what that was about. It was so long ago.

I never said it was a long time ago.

He is getting on my nerves.

He is really getting on my nerves.

I keep proposing the story about the connection,

but I'm getting rejected.

But I think Mr. Kim may slightly be on my side.

-Really? -Not completely, but slightly.

How is Dad?

I heard his blood pressure spiked recently.

Grandpa? He took some meds and he is fine now.

You should go in and see him if you're worried.

No, it's okay.

I should go.

That jerk, it's so dangerous riding...

Put that away. You won't be able to hit him anyway.

Beom-jo.

Is he yours?

He is actually friendly unlike his master.

What brings you to my place?

You think I'm here to see you?

I came to give you an update on what I promised last time.

Goodness.

Why didn't you come to the reporters' room?

I'm quitting being a reporter and going home.

That's what my mother wants.

So, you'll follow your mother's wishes?

No, it's the opposite.

What?

She said she won't answer anything I ask as a reporter.

But she said if I ask as her son, she'll give me answers.

I'm quitting to hear those answers.

After I hear all of those answers...

I'll be back.

Okay.

Let's talk inside.

So, this is a studio apartment. I've never seen one before.

There is a bedroom, a bathroom and...

Wow, a kitchen too.

It's all-in-one.

-So, this is actually possible. -Do you want a drink?

Do you have any wine?

Idiot.

Be quiet and drink this.

You resent my mother a lot, don't you?

Yes.

You may not believe it...

but she was the sweetest and best person to me.

I know.

That's why it is so hard for me to do...

what I'm doing now.

It's painful.

Mr. Kim, it's me, Seo Beom-jo.

As of today, I quit MSC.

Get rid of him.

So, there's a chance that...

I won't be able to keep my promise to you.

I won't pressure you. I know how difficult it is.

You hate me and find me disgusting and annoying, don't you?

It's nothing new.

How is In-ha?

Is she doing well?

Yes, but I think she has the wrong idea about you.

She thinks you're a mama's boy again.

Who knows?

Maybe I am a mama's boy again.

You shook this on purpose because you hate me, didn't you?

I have a delivery. Where is the city desk department?

It is at the end of the hall.

Mr. Kim Gyeong-u who was brought in for the waste-disposal plant fire

apparently knew Ms. Park since his re-election.

MSC did reports on that plant being environmentally friendly

three times last year alone.

Mr. Kim's publication party was even on the main news.

If you look at the reports and briefs, there is so much.

They flat-out supported him.

-There is a delivery for Ki Ha-myeong. -Ki Ha-myeong?

He is in a meeting over there.

Ki Ha-myeong!

Everyone, get down!

This is YGN City Desk. Someone is causing a scene here.

Come quickly!

Ki Ha-myeong! Come out!

Where are you? Come out!

Darn it!

Stop!

MR. KIM GYEONG-U'S CHRISTMAS CAROL ALBUM RELEASE PARTY

What are you watching?

I was looking for past news clips about Mr. Kim Gyeong-u.

Our station had covered

quite a lot of good stories about him in the past.

They were mostly written by me or Mr. Yeon.

Sit down. I'll find you more.

Excuse me?

Did you find "Mr. Kim Gyeong-u makes kimchi with love"?

No, not yet.

I have a delivery.

Where are Song Cha-ok and Choi In-ha?

They should be in the office.

Is anyone hurt? Is everyone okay?

Yes. Is everyone okay?

-Yes. -We're fine.

What was that?

He looked like he had a vendetta.

He was asking for Ha-myeong.

I think he had a vendetta against you. What is it? Do you know him?

No, I've never...

Don't tell me...

Mr. Hwang, I need to step out.

-Did you call the police? -Yes.

What?

There is blood.

Are you hurt? Let me see. How bad is it?

I'm not hurt.

I'm perfectly fine.

I'm fine too.

Then...

Then, whose blood is this?

DAL-PO

NIECE IN-HA

Song Cha-ok, Choi In-ha, come out. I'm going to kill you both!

Move. I'll go out.

Are you crazy? He says he'll kill us!

Where are Song Cha-ok and Choi In-ha? Where are they?

Song Cha-ok! Choi In-ha!

Send someone here right now!

-Stop messing around. -He has a knife!

There is a man with a knife in the city desk department.

Hey, you! Stop!

-Stop! -Stop!

Yes. This is MSC City Desk.

Someone is here with a weapon.

When are the police coming?

Open the door!

Let go!

You brat!

-Let go! -Stay still!

-Let go! -Stay still!

Dal-po, are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm fine. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Hey, you're bleeding.

Are you hurt?

Yes, my arm...

Dal-po!

Dal-po!

OPERATING ROOM

-How is Ha-myeong? -He is in surgery.

His ligament was torn and he lost a lot of blood.

What is going on?

Who was that assailant? Do you know him?

No, I've never seen him before either.

Did he go after Ha-myeong and In-ha?

Not just them. He called for Ms. Song too.

Do you know him, Ms. Song?

No, I've never seen him before either.

Ki Ha-myeong, Choi In-ha, and Ms. Song.

Why was it the three of them?

Who would have a grudge against all three of you?

-Do you have any idea? -No, not a clue.

But that Ki Ha-myeong fellow showed up with a camera

and asked about something from 14 years ago.

What about your daughter? Choi In-ha.

come to think of it, this is a first.

It's the first time you ever refused me.

Hey, I'm glad I ran into you.

We're on our way to do a story on the attack at your station.

Give us an interview.

We were on our way to do a story on your attack too.

Will you give us an interview?

It depends on you.

-Darn it. -Forget it.

Let's go in and find someone else.

Fine. I'll do it.

Ki Ha-myeong, Choi In-ha, and Ms. Song.

They finally got it after talking too much.

"Talking too much"? Isn't it normal for a reporter to talk too much?

Stop nitpicking.

It isn't normal if someone came with a knife.

It means they said something that they shouldn't have.

I don't know. I disagree.

I disagree too.

If someone attacked them to shut them up,

that someone is hiding something rotten

and a reporter must talk even more so.

Hey.

If you keep that up, I won't do the interview.

We don't need your interview.

Let's go, Jae-hwan!

Okay.

She must really hate me.

I'm beginning to hate you too.

Those punks never say hi to me.

Mr. Lee.

Do you know the three victims?

No.

I don't know them.

Do you hear anything?

No, I can't hear well.

MR. JUNG

I can't hear what you're saying.

Speak up, please?

I mean,

why did you attack those three people?

It was to avenge my father.

What do you mean by avenging your father?

He said it was to avenge his father.

His father?

Who is his father?

Do you remember that man?

The bus company owner who fired a driver for embezzling 600 won.

What? Is he that owner's son?

FATHER?

Oh, my gosh.

That means I could've been attacked too.

A young man in his twenties barged into YGN station this afternoon.

He yelled at a particular reporter

and waved his weapon at him.

After fighting for about three minutes, he ran away.

He was then apprehended by the police for attacking reporters with a weapon

at MSC station which was located 500 meters away from YGN.

The assailant was identified as Mr. Cho, the 21-year-old son

of the bus company owner who had protested in last December against

Ms. Song of MSC for doing a false report.

Ms. Song, Mr. Ki, and Ms. Choi, those reporters

told the world that my father was a fraud.

So, I did this to tell them to watch their mouths.

The police may charge him with attempted murder.

Ki Ha-myeong, who was hurt after struggling with Mr. Cho is

being treated at a hospital where he is in a stable condition.

With YGN News, I am Yoon Yu-rae.

Those are farms I worked on for 20 years applying fertilizer and pesticides.

All I have to do is harvest the fruit,

but insects keep coming. It's really annoying.

Hey, In-ha.

Dal-po, are you okay?

-What about your arm? -It's fine. It's nothing.

Don't say that. You needed surgery because he tore your ligament.

I heard if you were a baseball player, your career would be over.

I will go to the administration.

When you are discharged, you're coming home with us, got it?

-No, I'm fine. There's no need-- -There is a need.

The doctor said that you can't use your arm right now.

Stay with us for the time being.

Yes.

Did they catch the assailant?

Yes. Do you remember the 600 won suicide report?

The assailant is the bus company owner's son.

What? Is that why he went after you, me, and Ms. Song?

While knowing he'd get caught?

Yes, that's what he told the police.

But how did you know he would come after me?

Do you remember that reckless motorcycle

on the night I walked you home?

Yes, I remember that jerk.

It was him on that motorcycle.

What? That's scary. That means it was premeditated.

Yes, I think so.

I instructed Ha-myeong to stay home until he recovers.

Did the man do it because of the interview

with that bus company owner?

Isn't this a bit extreme?

"Extreme"? I think it was last year.

When I reported from the airport during vacation season,

a couple having an affair was caught on camera behind me and sued us.

He said his wife filed for divorce after she saw him on the news

and he got fired.

Being a reporter means bearing grudges.

It's inevitable,

but Ki Ha-myeong learned that lesson too soon.

But do you think this was really about that interview?

If the broadcast upset him, he just had to file a lawsuit.

Why did he assault them?

What do you mean? Are you saying there's another motive?

Yes.

Perhaps...

it was a warning...

to watch their mouths.

"To watch their mouths"?

What is Ha-myeong investigating right now?

He was looking into the connection between MSC and Ms. Park Ro-sa.

I can't hear them.

I heard something about connections.

By the way, Mr. Hwang may really be interested in you.

As if.

After the attack,

he panicked when he saw the blood and checked if you were hurt.

I was there too but he didn't check on me.

What could that mean?

What do you think it means?

It means that you look thick enough that you don't look like you'd bleed.

I'm not joking. I think he really likes--

-Stop. -No, seriously.

Enough.

I won't waste my time with baseless assumptions anymore.

Bring me solid facts.

I won't believe anything until then.

I still think I'm right.

Goodness. She is something else.

She hasn't fixed her groupie habits.

It isn't a groupie habit. She is a persistent reporter.

You're acting suspicious.

How could something so horrible...

You must have been shocked.

Oh, gosh. You still don't look well.

It was such a coincidence...

that my daughter, Ki Ha-myeong, and I...

I wonder how the three people you're watching were

attacked altogether.

It sounded like a warning to watch what we say.

Ms. Song, how could you say that?

You don't think I...

I'm speechless.

It's so horrendous that I can't even say it.

If it wasn't, I apologize.

But for the sake of argument,

say I did threaten you like you were saying...

-Excuse me? -I mean, by any chance.

If that were the case...

that means our relationship has been damaged.

Then...

shouldn't we both be careful before it breaks completely?

You look like you have a lot of questions.

Is it that obvious?

Yes. Ask away. What do you want to know?

I saw the news about the attacks on the stations.

Did you...

Yes, I hired him to do it.

I needed someone with a clear motive to remove any doubt.

It wasn't hard finding someone who hated the three of them.

Being a reporter means bearing grudges.

Did you want to send a warning to the three of them?

Partly, yes, and...

I wanted you to know this too.

I know you better than anyone else in the world.

I know how your eyes look and how your voice sounds...

when you lie.

And I know how disappointed you are in me right now.

I'm terribly upset about disappointing you too.

My nice and upright son must be so hurt.

Mother.

Beom-jo.

Can't we go back to how we used to be?

I'll take care of all the dirty and dangerous things.

You can take trips and do whatever you want.

Just see nice, happy things.

Live like that, okay?

-We're home. -Hey, you're back.

Come on in. Let's eat.

-Have a seat. -Okay.

-Wow, is it abalone porridge? -Yes, I made with the entrails.

Gosh. You had a surgery

so your body must be extremely worn out.

Eat up.

Thank you for the meal.

-Have some kimchi. -Do you want some kimchi?

Would you like some kimchi, Dal-po?

You brat. You are always one step behind, aren't you?

Do you want me to do it?

What? Okay.

If you make a mistake, you'll draw blood. You know that, right?

I know. Sit down.

In horror movies,

aren't the scenes when someone shaves someone else scary?

Especially when they shave here. If I sneeze, blood from your neck...

Hey!

Stop moving or you'll really see blood.

Okay.

Those brats.

Gosh, whatever.

Let me. You'll hurt your back.

Okay.

Father,

I had a very strange dream last night.

What kind of a dream was it?

It was just so absurd. It made no sense.

If it made sense, it would be real, not a dream.

I had a dream that Dal-po said he liked In-ha

and asked for my permission to date her.

You wretched thing!

How could you dream something so crazy?

I told you my dream didn't make any sense.

Still, even if it doesn't make sense, there is a limit.

Dal-po is my son and In-ha is your daughter.

How dare you talk about such a ridiculous dream?

I know, right?

-It's done. -Really?

It makes no sense, right?

I think it makes no sense too.

Hurry up with the story about Ms. Park that we discussed.

Disclose all the text messages too.

Make sure we can report it today or tomorrow.

Ms. Song, I would like to, but Mr. Yeon won't allow it.

We don't need his permission. We'll just do it.

Put another story down under my name.

I'll go into the editing room myself

and replace it with the Ms. Park story.

What? Have you lost your mind?

Ms. Park is the one who lost her mind, not me.

She is the one who orchestrated the attacks on the stations.

It was a warning to keep our mouths shut.

What? Really?

If we don't report soon, it won't end with a warning next time.

No, it's a problem if we do report it.

Then, it really won't be just a warning.

If one person knows, she can shut that one person up.

If two people know, she can shut those two people up.

But if thousands of people know, how can she shut them all up?

She'll have no choice but to acknowledge it.

Wow.

Was Ms. Song always like that?

The captain usually move on to work with the Assembly or Prosecutors' Office.

But, the Department of Culture?

He must have done something terribly wrong.

Poor Ms. Song. She has been transferred to the review room.

What? What's going on?

Well...

What? What is it?

TRANSFER NOTICE

What is this? Department of Culture? Why?

Am I demoted from the captain?

What on earth?

MS. SONG TO THE REVIEW ROOM

Ms. Song.

You've been transferred to the review room.

Is this...

another warning from Ms. Park?

So, you want to take my mic and shut my mouth?

THE CITY DESK

Mr. Kim, what's with the transfers? Why so suddenly...

It's because of you...

that those transfers happened.

"Because of me"? Don't tell me...

Mr. Kim, is it because of the story I proposed?

Yes! When I told Ms. Song about the story,

she said to investigate it, and it got me into this.

Ms. Song said to investigate it?

Yes.

I couldn't believe it, but she said to investigate it.

Nevertheless, Ms. Park put a stop to it.

These transfers are apparently Ms. Park's doing too.

Ms. Park? Beom-jo's mother?

Yes.

Ms. Song said the attacks were also orchestrated by Ms. Park.

It was a warning to keep your mouths shut.

Really? Do we have proof?

It's her gut feeling.

I didn't believe it at first, but after this...

I believe her now.

You should be careful too.

-I'm sorry, Mr. Kim. -It's okay.

Thanks to you, I was almost a real reporter again.

But I got to think what a reporter really is.

I couldn't do it, but I hope you will be a real reporter.

MS. SONG

-Hello? -We need to talk.

Yes, Ms. Song.

I'm lacking in so many ways.

To believe that at one time, you had decided to be the whistle-blower.

That you were a reporter once.

And that perhaps, you regret the choice you made 14 years ago.

I want to be naive and believe in you.

I'm here, Ms. Song.

You saw the transfer notice, right?

I'm no longer a chief or a reporter.

How do you take your coffee?

Pardon? Two sugars and two creams.

Just like your dad.

It's so tacky.

I heard from Mr. Kim

that you told him to investigate the story I proposed.

Yes.

But we were stopped...

spectacularly.

Is that why the transfer notice was made?

I think so.

So...

give this back to Ki Ha-myeong.

-This is-- -This is my phone and text messages.

He brought this back to me.

I want you to give it back to him.

Now the whistle-blower...

will be me, not you.

Mom.

Ms. Song really told you to give this to me?

Yes.

But she wants you to say the whistle-blower...

is her.

She said she wanted to report it herself.

But she can't now because she was stripped of her mic.

She has so much to say, but she can't do it on air.

She was very upset.

So, she said she'll tell the world using a different way.

-"A different way"? -What different way?

I plan to use the governmental power.

The incident from 14 years ago is too weak.

If you report this case, the statute of limitations expired,

so, it won't hurt Ms. Park much.

That's why we need a current case.

We need your friend's help too.

"My friend"?

Go and tell your friend, An Chan-su,

to file a defamation lawsuit against me.

Mom!

Hey, Dal-po. How is your arm? I was worried about you.

You don't look very worried.

What's up? I don't have any stories to throw at you.

I'm not here for a story. I came to ask you for a favor.

A favor? I'll do anything you ask. What is it?

It's something I really hope you'll do.

No, it's something I really need you to do.

Defamation? What do you mean?

If Chan-su files a defamation lawsuit against my mom for manipulating the media

to frame him for the waste-disposal plant fire,

Mom will be called in by the police for questioning.

-Mr. Jung. -Hey, Chan-su.

What brings you here?

You got booted from there too?

Of course, not.

My division can't do anything there without me.

You can come whenever you want.

I'll have a seat heated up for you.

No thanks, you punk.

But seriously, what are you doing here?

I have some business to tend to at Civil Service Office.

Civil Service Office? Why?

-I came to file a complaint. -A complaint?

I'm going to file a defamation lawsuit against Ms. Song.

Mom says...

she'll use that to tell the police everything.

Then, the police will announce it publicly,

and the reporters will write about it.

That's how she'll tell the world.

From Mr. Ki's incident 14 years ago,

to Ms. Park's connections. Everything.

Then, Ms. Park and Mom will be summoned by the police as co-conspirators.

From then on...

From then on, you two need to keep your eyes wide open and report exactly.

What the police and the Prosecutors' Office say.

What I say and what Ms. Park says.

Don't miss a word and relay everything.

Don't get buried or swept away by any diversion tactic.

Do it right.

Got it?

Okay, I will.

Ms. Park will use money and connections,

and whatever it takes to find a way to escape.

From the questioning, investigation, indictment, all the way up to the trial,

watch every move she makes, so she can't get away with it.

But mom...

everything will be over for you.

You may...

lose everything. You may have to quit.

I don't mind that one bit.

To be honest...

I was tired.

I was exhausted.

Mom.

Mom.

Don't cry.

You're making me...

nervous about entrusting you with this.

Was it this painful for you too?

Watching Jae-myeong...

Was it this hard?

How did you endure it?

How...

did you endure the burden?

It was difficult, and it is still difficult.

I still can't say I endured it.

I'm sorry, Dal-po.

It's only right that Mom chose this path, I know it's right, but...

my mom...

I feel like my mom chose such a difficult path, so...

I know. I know everything.

Ms. Song made a very difficult decision.

Then, will everything really be exposed?

Will she come clean about what happened to Dad

and to Chan-su?

Yes.

But why do you look like that? Shouldn't you be happy?

I'm sorry, Jae-myeong.

In fact, I'm not that happy.

Why not?

In-ha is going through

what I did when I made the report on you.

It's difficult watching her. It reminds me of you too.

There you go again blaming yourself.

I'll say this only once. Listen carefully.

When I did the interview with Song Cha-ok, I was planning to end it all

in the studio.

Both her and myself.

But after seeing you, I wanted to live.

I wanted to see how you would face off...

against her.

You saved my life.

Jae-myeong.

SUMMONS

Because you reported me and didn't bury it,

you could question Ms. Song and Ms. Park confidently.

If you had chosen differently,

you wouldn't have had the right to question them.

And this day would never have come.

You understand that, don't you?

REVIEW ROOM

Ms. Park!

Oh, my gosh. Ms. Ko, learn to knock.

I'm sorry, but this is urgent.

Did you hear? Ms. Song Cha-ok was summoned by the police

for a defamation lawsuit filed against her.

"Defamation"? For what? Who pressed charges?

That Mr. An pressed charges against her.

What if she tells the police about you?

She will.

She may have been waiting for this, so that she could.

-Pardon? She did this on purpose? -Yes.

I shut her up.

She must have needed a way to talk.

It's okay. Let her talk.

Defamation? It will just be a small fine.

Well, it won't even go that far.

Still, what if the reporters start talking?

I don't know.

Would they be able to hear her?

Tell Mr. Yeon to come in.

FULFILLING OUR DUTY AS THE POLICE

HANGANG POLICE STATION MEDIA HALL

-Hey, isn't that Ms. Song, the fabricator? -Where?

It's her. She must be here for questioning for the defamation lawsuit.

Are you here as a victim?

Are you being framed?

-A statement, please. -Is this a manipulation?

A statement, please.

Are you here because Mr. An filed a defamation lawsuit against you?

That is correct.

Do you admit to the charges of defamation?

I'll reveal everything during the investigation.

How do you feel right now?

Who would feel good about being prosecuted?

If you are a reporter, don't ask the obvious question.

Ask a question that has a point.

I'm sorry.

The questioning will last two to three hours. I'll come back,

so have some more useful questions prepared.

-Wow, she is so tough. -She is scary.

-I think her eyes will shoot lasers. -She is such a charismatic person.

That I admit.

I totally admit that.

Are you on your way to questioning?

I'll come and see you afterward with questions.

I don't know about reporters.

After I learn about what a reporter is, I'll come to you.

As a wolf, not a puppy.

I'll bark...

properly.

Ki Ha-myeong?

Do you know what a reporter is now?

Yes.

I think I do.

Good.

Then, come...

and bark properly at me.

I will respond to everything.

Yes, I will.
