Original subtitles

We were just passing by.

We saw the police cars rushing in, so we came to see what happened.

I see.

Did you see anything, miss? You ran ahead.

She's never seen a crime scene before, so she's shaken up pretty badly.

She works in entertainment news.

Yeong-sin.

Yeong-sin.

Let's go.

The person who fell down must have died at the scene.

There must have been others there.

We should go. Let's not stay here any longer.

There were others, but I just didn't see them.

What are you thinking?

It's cold.

Yeong-sin.

Ji-an!

Ji-an,

are you okay?

Are you back?

Is he dead? Are you sure?

He apparently died at the scene.

So,

you didn't hear anything before Park Dong-cheol died?

Does the tape of your father's statement really exist?

He said it does.

Bastard.

If he were going to die anyway, he should have told you.

But...

he said something strange as he was dying.

What?

Three. Nine. One.

What?

Three. Nine. One.

What?

Three, nine, one.

A number? Was it 391?

I don't know.

Is that all?

Yes, that's all.

And...

she was there.

She saw me.

Have a nice day.

I'll send some of the boys to get Bong-su.

I'll talk to him while you talk to Yeong-sin.

She said she would tell me later when the time is right. Damn it.

Later when? After all the polar bears go extinct?

That's how kids are. The more you press them,

the more they refuse to talk. You'd know if--

Hello.

Chi-su, that's the guy Yeong-sin always drools over...

Hello. What brings you by?

This is my father.

Dad, this is the president of Someday News.

I'm Kim Mun-ho.

Hello, I'm Yeong-sin's father.

Haven't you told him yet?

Not yet.

Can't we tell him now?

I'd like to introduce myself properly.

What?

Introduce properly? Is it what I'm thinking it is?

Dad.

Hold up. I need to gather my thoughts.

There's Bong-su, but he wants to properly--

I...

found my biological mother.

She's alive but also very ill

which is why I can't tell her yet that I'm her daughter.

Mun-ho is the one who found me.

I have been close to her parents since I was young.

I was there the day she was born too.

My biological dad passed away a long time ago.

And my name is

Oh Ji-an, Dad.

I just recently found out myself.

I knew I should've told you,

but I didn't know how to, so...

I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.

Three, nine, one. He meant 391.

Park Dong-cheol's hostel didn't have a room 391.

What about a locker or storage unit?

You want me to search every locker and storage unit with just 391 to go on?

Hey.

-Hello? -What?

You keep spacing out. Are you in your right mind?

Do I?

Are you thinking about Yeong-sin?

Do you think she suspects you?

Then just tell her

the details of what happened.

Call her.

I'll give you some space.

Okay, I'm out.

SEO JEONG-HU

What's up?

Hey, Bong-su.

SEO JEONG-HU

Jeong-hu.

SEO JEONG-HU

CONTACTS

HIM

HIM

It's probably best to hide the name Seo Jeong-hu.

What else should I hide for you?

-What are you doing? -I'm waiting for your call.

-Yeong-sin. -You should at least call one more time.

Ask me anything.

Jeong-hu.

I'll answer everything.

Are you okay?

It wasn't you, right?

Who are you really?

If you don't ask,

I can't answer.

What the...

Shit.

Oh Tae-won was released this morning.

It's beyond my power.

We got a warrant saying he's a flight risk,

but the people vouching for him are of such high caliber.

He was acquitted for insufficient evidence.

Did the detective who was arrested say anything?

Park Ki-jung is exercising his right to remain silent.

It won't be easy.

He knows how things work here.

So,

that being said,

I'd appreciate some more assistance.

There's a man who went to Park Ki-jung's place,

gathered the evidence, and gift-wrapped him for us.

Introduce him to me.

I bet you're ashamed to ask that.

Regardless, for the record, I have no idea what you're talking about.

There was a murder last night at St. Mary's Church.

I just got the case file,

and your name was listed as a witness.

I was just a bystander since I didn't see anything.

But this case is strange.

There are so many witnesses.

The name of the deceased is Park Dong-cheol,

and they say someone asked for him just before he died.

A man in his 20s

with glasses and a hat worn low.

They say he even has great fighting skills.

We didn't even ask,

but so many witnesses keep coming forward to testify.

Do you have

any idea what may be going on?

Wow.

They turned the place upside down already.

That means

they are looking for the recording as well.

What if they beat you to it?

Ms. Jo.

20 years is a very long time.

It is.

Would he have carried that tape around not knowing who'd come looking for it?

It seems he moved from place to place.

I bet 500 won that the tape isn't in this room.

I bet 5,000 won that he made it all up.

I bet a million won that the tape exists.

Do you have any leads?

It's strange. That recording is of my father's statement.

What's on it is so obvious.

He either confessed to the murder or denied the charges.

-But? -But why are they making such a fuss?

Why do they care about what someone said 20 years ago before he died?

Look. Look at all this.

They even killed someone for it. Why?

It's soju, right?

What?

What you give a dead person?

You didn't

go there to look for the tape, did you?

This guy

died because of me.

Open the cap.

I opened it.

Sprinkle some around.

I did.

Drink a little.

Done.

Say anything you want to say.

I did.

Ask him what 391 is.

We hit a dead end because he died.

-If you hit a dead end-- -Don't do it.

You must climb over the wall.

That's how you reach the safe.

I said not to do it.

Hey, Jeong-hu. Hey!

Two are tailing me on foot, and there's a vehicle too.

What should I do?

Should I grab one and ask who he is?

Or should I

keep the tail?

Ms. Jo.

Are you snacking? Why aren't you answering me?

Jeong-hu

-Hold on. -What?

Can you take a deep breath first?

Inhale and exhale.

What is it?

Oh Tae-won was released.

He was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

Also,

I planted a tracker on Chae Yeong-sin's phone.

I think a stranger is accessing it.

I'm not done yet.

I think she's headed to Kim Mun-sik's house.

What?

And at that house is

Oh Tae-won.

Damn it.

Reporter Chae Yeong-sin?

Hello.

Are those flowers for me?

Right.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

You're very pretty.

You're much prettier in person too.

I'm a fan of yours.

Maybe it's because I saw you on the broadcasts,

but I feel oddly close to you.

-I'm sorry. -Ms. Chae?

I'm going through a lot right now.

Oh, my gosh. How embarrassing.

I'm sorry.

I cry easily.

Me too.

Really?

I'm so embarrassed.

This is Oh Tae-won.

I need to speak to Boss directly.

Mun-ho said there were five of you running the pirate radio broadcast.

Ki Yeong-jae, whom we did a broadcast on, was one of the five.

Come here.

Here are the five.

This is Yeong-jae.

I've seen this photo before.

Mr. Kim Mun-sik showed it to me.

-When? -Not long ago.

This is you, and this is him.

And here.

This was my husband.

Oh Gil-han.

I heard he passed away.

Yes, in 1992.

May I...

ask you about it?

If I bring it up,

will that make you ill?

Mun-ho's very worried about you.

If I have an episode, press this button.

The nurse is in the next room.

-Then... -Ask me.

From what I heard, two out of the five friends passed away.

Do you know what happened?

Finally, after 20 years,

someone asks me

what happened that day.

From what I can tell, that Chae Yeong-sin girl

is aware of her relationship with Choi Myeong-hui.

I don't know when or how she'll expose it.

If Kim Mun-sik's wife finds out the truth,

she'll probably leave him.

That'll leave our man heartbroken.

If we had to find another mayoral candidate,

it would make us look bad, wouldn't it?

What should I do?

If it's to protect President Kim Mun-sik...

Hello, Boss.

You're the one who make this guy and Kim Mun-sik do bad things, aren't you?

Boss.

I have something to ask you.

Where can I find you?

Get rid of this phone.

Jeez.

Talk about bad phone manners.

Damn it.

I'm offended, so I'm confiscating this phone.

Mister.

You know me, right?

You came to get me once.

Do you remember my master too?

Ki Yeong-jae.

He was Healer.

You poisoned my master, didn't you?

You know my mom too, right?

I heard you threatened her recently.

I bet there's more.

If I keep you alive, you'll keep doing this.

You'll kill people,

hurt people, and threaten them.

Even if you are arrested again,

you'll get out within days.

If I just

kill you,

I'd be doing the world a favor.

Can you tell our story?

When you say "our," do you mean the five friends?

I'll tell you everything I know

about what happened that day in 1992.

Okay.

I'd like you to do a broadcast and report our story.

If Mun-ho permits it, it won't be difficult.

But it will be dangerous.

Those people who killed us then are still alive.

When you say "us"...

My husband, Oh Gil-han. His friend, Seo Jun-seok.

My daughter, Oh Ji-an,

and me.

Thanks, Ms. Jo.

Of all I have done for you, what are you thanking me for?

For stopping me from killing someone like him.

I almost became a murderer for killing this monster.

Hold on. You need to see this.

What do you think? Does it look like you?

I think they're determined to corner you like hunters do to a rabbit.

THE LATE KI YEONG-JAE

Ms. Jo.

My dad is in a columbarium, and I think each niche has a number

like an address.

I was at home with my five-year-old daughter,

waiting for my husband who went on an investigation.

Then I got a call.

It was Mun-sik.

Hello.

He told me to just run that they were coming.

Ji-an, hurry up and get dressed.

-Ji-an, let's go. -Where are we going?

-We need to go. -Where are we going?

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

This is my daughter, Ji-an.

I see.

Isn't she pretty?

Her mom is too.

They supposedly call themselves "farmers."

As in farmers that farm the land?

They think they're farming this nation.

They plant barley and corn

and pull out the weeds that get in the way.

And when the time comes, they harvest.

They think that's how they farm this nation.

Where are we going? Mom?

-Stop! -Stop right there!

Mom, where are we going?

Ji-an, look at me and listen.

-Are you listening? -Yes.

Don't make a sound, okay?

I'll be right back, so don't make a sound.

Don't say a word, okay?

Please, Ji-an.

Stop!

Stop right there!

My birth mom...

My biological mother...

I don't know what to call her,

but she had an episode.

She just fell asleep.

Right.

She told me many things before it happened though.

She said she lost me. She didn't abandon me.

I knew she wouldn't have.

She hid me, but got hit by a car while running away.

She awoke in the hospital a few days later.

She couldn't move, so she couldn't look for me.

My biological mother...

The last thing she said to me was

not to say a word.

Maybe that's why I didn't talk when I was young.

I was a good girl, wasn't I?

I thought I was abandoned.

She said you weren't.

I must have been scared.

If I didn't smile or

asked something people didn't like,

I thought they'd get sick of me

and want to abandon me.

Not

me.

Then,

may I ask you?

Of course.

-Jeong-hu. -Yes?

Have you ever killed a person?

No.

I knew it.

There is something I need to tell you though.

What?

I've become a murder suspect.

-Because of last night? -Yes.

They even have a sketch.

-Does it look like you? -Not at all.

Then what will you do? Will you run away?

I realized that it doesn't resolve anything.

Then what should we do first?

First, I need to find my dad's tape.

I'll help.

I'll find the bastard who framed me.

I'll help with that too.

I need to go see your dad.

That's...

That's what scares me the most.

Do you know how many people

have gone missing in Korea these past six years?

It's 30,000.

If they have been missing for over five years,

the search for them stops.

To be blunt,

they are declared dead.

If someone famous like Reporter Kim Mun-ho went missing,

do you think it'd be a big deal?

No, it won't even last two days.

People don't remember

other people's business for so long.

Mun-ho is my brother.

I'll talk to him.

I won't change

our mayoral candidate again.

It'll look bad.

I know, sir.

Our next plan is just about to begin.

There shouldn't be any errors.

If what happened 20 years ago holds you back--

That won't happen.

I will take care of it.

Did Jeong-hu come by?

Chae Yeong-sin did as well.

Ms. Choi doesn't know who she is yet though.

They talked for so long, but I don't know what it was about.

It must be so hard for Myeong-hui.

Someone that fragile ordered a wiretapping device

and called Mun-ho in secret.

To think she was so scared all night...

Will you just let her be?

You know what she's doing.

It's okay. She'll come back.

The thrill of a new game just has her worked up.

I only wish she'd take better care of herself.

You were right.

Your father's niche number is 391.

It's 391.

Then the tape of Jun-seok's statement is in there.

We need to go take a look.

Are those rats still tailing you?

Yes, they are.

Yeong-sin, why don't you stay out of this?

You'll only slow Jeong-hu down.

That's not necessarily true.

Ms. Jo, you're the best.

I finished cleaning up Yeong-sin's phone.

What about the guys following me?

We need to find out who they work for.

You have been a wanted man for too long.

You're so experienced that you're laid-back now.

What if they call the police on you?

That's right.

Yeong-sin.

If I'm about to be arrested, pretend not to know me.

You may be mistaken for my accomplice.

Okay.

Damn it!

Yeong-sin.

Can you run?

I can run 100 meters in 17 seconds.

Of course, that was in high school.

What do you do if a fight breaks out?

Close my eyes and wait. You will take care of it.

That's right.

And if you can, hide in a corner.

It's easier to shield yourself there than in open space.

A corner if possible. Got it!

Wait. Don't make eye contact.

You can follow me, but I'd appreciate some distance.

I need to work too, you know.

Yeong-sin.

-Run. -Where to?

Straight ahead.

Picture.

Picture.

Watch your foot.

Picture.

Picture. Okay, watch your legs!

I know you. Hello.

-Seatbelt. -Okay.

I told you, just drive.

But there are so many. Darn it.

These are new faces.

It will take time to figure out who they work for.

Check the footage of nearby security cameras.

I think he's headed somewhere.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

-Hey, who is she? -His girlfriend.

My vote is on girlfriend.

One more vote on girlfriend.

Who is she?

The head of department at ABS. Ms. Kang Min-jae.

Then she's my rival.

She's my counterpart.

For sure,

she's his girlfriend. No question about it.

Do you want some coffee?

I'm in charge of Kim Mun-sik's interview.

I hear you're preparing a counter-program.

That's right.

Will you discuss Omega Holdings?

That is Kim Mun-sik's money line.

You know better than anyone that you can't touch Omega.

That was true at the station.

Your broadcast won't air.

We're prepared.

If you try to stop us, we'll air that as well.

The more you try to stop us, the more it helps us.

Nice, right?

I take back what I said before.

I said you fight just enough not to get hurt.

Mun-ho,

that's the smart thing to do.

That way, you can fight for a long time.

Let's slow down.

Be in it for the long run.

I'm having fun these days.

It starts the moment I wake up.

In the past, I was like,

"Damn, here's another day I need to get through."

These days, when I wake up, I think about what I should do.

I wonder what the bad guys are doing.

What about you?

They are always above us.

How is that possible, you ask?

Because we live by the book, but they don't.

You can't beat them.

But...

if I quit because I can't win, I'd be ashamed in front of the workers.

I don't want that.

That's it. I think that's the car.

That car is suspicious too. It's been following us.

It doesn't pass us and just maintains a distance.

It's totally suspicious.

So suspicious.

What?

No, it's nothing.

Go straight ahead.

You'll arrive at the columbarium in about ten minutes.

How are things over there?

May I help you?

For sure, she's his girlfriend.

This is so complicated.

Don't turn around.

I came here with Master

about eight or nine years ago.

Do you know what he said?

"Your dad isn't here anyway.

We don't know where he is.

But still,

you need to know in which direction to greet him.

So let's just greet him here."

That's what he said.

THE LATE SEO JUN-SEOK

I found it.

This is my father.

THE LATE SEO JUN-SEOK

Father, this is Chae Yeong-sin.

You probably know her as Oh Ji-an.

Hello.

Miss?

Someday is doing its third broadcast.

What? Weren't we doing it with Kim Mun-sik's interview?

We got new information and it's been confirmed.

We need to release this information as soon as possible.

Right now, before they can interfere.

-Right now? -Now? A broadcast?

What about the information I prepared?

Publicize it using all venues possible.

Someday's third broadcast's title is this.

"Exposing the Puppet Master Controlling

the Puppet Kim Mun-sik."

I have prepared a video and images of an interview.

We'll add on a little more and begin the broadcast.

The important thing is how many people will watch this.

What do you think?

The strife between the two brothers

is very popular.

People will tune in.

Power users of social media are on standby too, right?

How much time do we need for the broadcast?

I don't know how long we'll be able to last.

THE LATE SEO JUN-SEOK

Will you be okay?

No problem.

Let's say our goodbyes and go.

THE LATE SEO JUN-SEOK

Close in and force them somewhere with no cameras.

I called earlier.

Those people are leaving. They went to the entrance.

I'm sure they're gangsters.

I heard them say they have to abduct that woman.

Do we know each other?

Or do you have

something to say?

Hand it over.

If we hand it over, will you let us go?

I don't think so.

I guess that's not it either.

-Yeong-sin. -Yes?

Close your eyes.

Run.

Hey!

Yeong-sin, throw it!

There was another lonely death.

Mr. Park Dong-cheol.

He was a detective burning with a sense of duty.

One day in 1992, he heard the statement of

a murder suspect in an interrogation room.

Do you remember Ki Yeong-jae, the subject of Someday's second broadcast?

He and Seo Jun-seok, who was in the interrogation room in 1992,

were part of the same pirate radio broadcast.

And like Ki Yeong-jae, Seo Jun-seok also died in the interrogation room.

Give me the tape.

Fine, I'll give it to you. Just don't punch me again.

You two, move!

I'm bleeding!

How could you? Wait, wait!

Let me meet Boss.

Tell him I'll give him the tape

and the LA video files as well.

Call him. He'll respond for sure.

Also, tell him this too.

"Healer would like to side with Boss."

I know Boss wants to meet me.

Gosh, that was some punch.

It really hurts.

Newspapers printed a short article about it.

They said Seo Jun-seok committed suicide because he was overcome with guilt

after killing his friend.

Oddly enough, the stories of two friends

are very much alike despite the 22 years of gap.

Both deaths were caused by poison.

One was suicide, one was murder.

But Park Dong-cheol, who had questioned Mr. Seo

said something entirely different.

The statement we received was different from the one that was submitted.

It was a complete work of fiction.

So what did we do?

We reported it to Internal Affairs.

What do you think happened to us next?

I heard you were kicked out.

Park Dong-cheol was kicked out for blowing the whistle on the matter,

but he kept an audio tape for the past 22 years.

It was of Seo Jun-seok's statement.

I suspect Park Dong-cheol was killed by the people

trying to destroy that tape.

Because the 22-year-old tape that he gave us just before he died

had some incredible stories about them.

MARCH 2, 1992, TESTIMONY OF SEO JUN-SEOK

What a nice house.

Who are these people he referred to?

SOMEDAY NEWS

He's coming.

A reporter from Someday News went somewhere to ask just who they are.

This person is only referred to as Boss.

Hello.

Where have I seen him before?

I know I have.

I listened to your dad's statement.

Jeong-hu.

This is plenty.

Come back.

Let's proceed as planned.

Let's go all the way.

Kid, who are you really?

When you kill people from now on,

think about their sons and daughters.

Make a right at the intersection.

Is it hard to just live like ordinary people?

Will it be hard for me?
