I know you, punk.

Hey, are you that punk that my boss is dying to meet?

(Episode 5)

See you later, punk.

How many?

T-Two, please.

Hey, miss. Are you okay?

Are you the one who called the police?

Where is the guy who called?

Excuse me?

P-Park Bongsu. Is he alive?

Bongsu! Park Bongsu!

Was someone else assaulted?

Do you want to go to the station, or keep looking?

Bongsu!

Dad, is Bongsu there?

He disappeared and I don't have his number.

- Excuse me, Miss. / - Is Yeonhui okay?

Stay with her, Dad. I'll be right home.

Yes.

Where did he go?

Are you sure there were thugs here?

You need to tell me.

Just a minute. My subordinate disappeared.

So it's a kidnapping, and not an assault?

Park Bongsu! Park Bongsu!

Bongsu! Park Bongsu!

Park Bongsu!

Park Bongsu!

Park Bongsu!

The reporter got here an hour ago and

had dinner with some woman and now

he's doing the dishes.

I'm starving.

So is this where he lives?

Reporters must make a lot of money.

This house is...

You still make too much food, as always.

I do tend to make a lot.

We have more leftovers since your brother is not here.

You always make an extra serving, don't you?

Just pretend you don't notice anything.

Can I talk about that?

- About her. / - About Jian?

May I?

Should I not?

If Jian were alive today

how old would she be? What would she be doing?

Things like that.

Myeonghui.

She'd be 28 on her next birthday, and

I don't know what she would be doing.

I don't know what kind of food she would like.

If she were alive, don't you think

she would've become a reporter like you and Gilhan?

You know, most kids follow their parents...

Jian is dead.

No, I mean what if.

How could I not know if she were alive?

That isn't possible.

Fine, fine.

How could a mom not know that her daughter is alive?

- Stop it. / - I couldn't have abandoned my daughter

and lived well on my own.

That means she lived without a mom

for a year, 10 years, 20 years, 21 years, 22 years...

But

I ate well and slept well and

laughed well, and... And...

Myeonghui, I-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Don't think about it, okay?

Please. Please, Myeonghui.

Myeonghui, Myeonghui...

- Myeonghui! / - Please.

Move away.

Myeonghui, are you okay?

Calm down.

I said something I shouldn't have. I was just...

Wait outside.

Myeonghui! Myeonghui!

Myeonghui! Are you okay?

I won't be able to protect my story

or my source?

So you want me to give it to...

May I call you a superior?

I guess not.

So you want me to give it to you

Reporter Kim Munho?

Why?

That source must be in danger.

Don't tell me that you can't tell she's in danger.

You can't quite grasp the situation, can you?

You don't know what you've done

or what will happen.

Do you?

I'm your fan. No, I'm practically a mania.

When you exposed Seongu Foundation's illegal funds

and made President Lee resign, and...

Where was it? The Virginia Josephine River incident...

You uncovered BM International's stock manipulation

and made the prime minister resign...

I've been watching you since college.

I even memorize some of your stories.

Did you really

investigate them yourself?

You didn't find dumb reporters like me

and force them to hand over their stories?

Even so, you still went to the warzone in Iraq.

You went there yourself, didn't you?

When that girl's family was murdered,

you took the camera yourself and went in.

When I saw that, I was so moved, that...

- Chae Yeongsin. / - Yes?

I don't know if you wrote that article

because you were carried away

or you were trying to be brave

but come to me

if you can't handle.

You know how people have random thoughts

when they can't sleep?

I...

imagined over and over again...

receiving your business card directly from you.

It was my fantasy.

I felt like I was looking at you from back in the day.

The way she looked me in the eye

and the tone of her voice.

Is she

okay?

Let's talk inside.

What did you say to her?

What did you say, that she was like that?

What did Dr. Oh say?

She was tested

last week.

It's been the same for 20 years.

We saw the physiatrist, neurologist, and psychiatrist

and got a huge bag of pills.

So what?

She was fine for a while.

She didn't have an episode for months.

Tell me.

I got a call two months ago

that we needed to move

Jian's grave.

You told her that?

Not yet. I was going to, after it was taken care of.

That is, until I heard...

They said the grave was empty.

The grave...

The only things in the casket were a few rocks.

Weren't you the one who put Jian in

that casket?

Is Jian really dead?

If she's not,

did you lie to us that Jian was dead

when in fact she was alive?

Jian is dead.

- What if she's alive? / - She's dead.

You know how hard it was for Myeonghui to accept that,

and how hard it was to get her to live again.

So

Jian cannot be alive.

She can't be alive?

How could you say that? You mean

if she were alive,

you'd kill her again or something?

How could you say that?

Is that what you did

23 years ago?

Did you get rid of Gilhan like that, too?

Because he couldn't be alive?

Do you want me to tell you about that accident again?

Do you have to hear it again?

Was it really an accident?

Was it?

What if you knew the truth?

- Munsik. / - What difference would it make

whether or not you know?

You can't do anything anyway.

What did you do?

What did you do to those people?

It's as you guessed.

What am I guessing?

You know everything about me.

Right, except for one thing.

Did you think

I would never read

a book like the Arc de Triomphe?

You know everything that happens in this room,

but you

have done nothing about it.

You've never stopped me

nor reported me to the police.

You never even reported it on the news.

Because there is no point.

Munho, that means

we are on the same boat.

You and I...

From 1992 until now,

we've been on the same side.

You still can't accept it?

- Gosh. / - What are you doing?

It's time for you to exercise.

But what are you doing?

If you're not busy, let's think a little

about the situation.

First, Bae Sangsu's guys recognized you as Healer.

He must have heard by now and is wracking his brain.

"What? Healer showed up?"

"Why? Where?"

"Next to that Chae Yeongsin girl."

I know, I lost my mind and did the stupid thing.

I admit it. Happy?

So, what would he be ordering his guys to do now?

I'm positive.

It was him.

According to our guys,

he was just like the guy who showed up

on the subway that time.

She's the one he was protecting?

It looked like there was something between them.

Like what? Is she his girlfriend? Wife?

Or do they eat together?

Do they go to hotels together?

We don't know that much yet.

- Name. / - Chae Yeongsin.

She's a reporter at Someday News.

That article you told us to take care of...

- She wrote that? / - Yes, Sir.

This is interesting.

The big picture is coming together.

So...

Let's see.

- Find out everything about her. / - Yes, Sir.

Get moving.

Sangsu's guys will be lurking everywhere

around that girl now, looking for you.

That is a given, right?

Then what should you do?

There is nothing to think about.

You should get away from her no matter what.

Don't even look in her direction.

I'm sure Sangsu's guys are looking into everything

including her job, home, family...

Down to her report cards from grade school.

How far do

- Sangsu's guys go? / - What do you mean?

When they get a job request,

do they kidnap, threaten, things like that, too?

They are a legitimate business on paper,

but I doubt they bought that building

doing only legitimate and legal jobs.

What if...

This is really just a hypothetical question.

But those guys...

If I don't ever show up, they will

want to ask Yeongsin directly.

So just how far would they...

They wouldn't kidnap her, lock her up or

torture her or anything, would they?

Hey, Healer.

What do you think?

Do you like her that much?

She looks pretty in the photos.

Is she prettier in person? Is she sexy?

Seriously. Have you suddenly gone off your rocker?

Earlier, when you should have fled, you ran to her.

Even now,

trouble is knocking at your door,

but you're worried about her.

- Hey, Lady. / - Is she that pretty?

Stop it.

You're a fugitive, and a murder suspect.

I thought you wanted to move to a deserted island?

If she isn't someone who'd go with you, don't do it.

No matter how pretty she is,

don't bother starting anything.

When a human sees a chimpanzee or a tiger,

it is just a chimpanzee or a tiger.

It isn't easy to tell whether

another chimpanzee or tiger is prettier.

In my eyes, human beings are the same.

They are all alike.

But this girl is a little different.

How is she different?

I saw a documentary on a panther before.

It had a broken leg and came across a pack of hyenas.

Being hurt and outnumbered, it didn't stand a chance,

but it attacked first and

refused to back down.

Hey, you thief!

That's my bag, isn't it?

So that makes you a thief, right?

I...

I'll hold them, so you run.

She was like that.

She wasn't fearless because she was clueless.

She was brave while knowing how dangerous it was.

I cried a lot after I watched that documentary.

I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.

Anyway, I'm like that too.

It isn't me to run away or hide.

When beasts fight, they are all afraid.

Both of them get scared.

However, whoever shows fear first

loses its life.

So, if anyone is after you,

attack first before you'd show a weakness.

That is how you survive in the animal world.

There.

The big guy is Oh Yongsik.

He's Bae Sangsu's third in command.

The guy up on top playing with a toy

goes by the name "Yoyo."

He's Bae Sangsu's right-hand man.

You seem to know a lot about them.

I've been following them for years now.

They officially set up the company

with even business cards.

But if I dig, I'm sure I'll find a slew of things.

In other words,

You haven't been able to dig deep enough?

What?

Sangsu's hackers are so good

that even the Pentagon wants them.

If you look on the bright side,

they are laying low right now.

because you are watching them.

We found something interesting

while chasing that Someday reporter.

About the first job you requested of me...

You said to find Healer

and get rid of him.

But I think he is somehow related to this reporter.

So, based on my assumption...

You said that reporter wrote something troubling.

I think that and Healer are connected...

- President Bae. / - Yes, Sir.

- Don't assume. / - Pardon?

You don't need to assume anything.

Just do what you are told.

Yes, Sir. I'm sorry, Sir.

So, did you find out where Joo Yeonhui is hiding?

I'm positive the Someday reporter knows.

We are keeping a close eye on her.

What about Healer?

We found a way to draw him out

so we'll get rid of him soon.

Do it, and call me once it's done.

The major papers agreed to cooperate, and

the TV stations are taken care of as well.

Still, it will be difficult to cover it up 100 percent.

Small places like internet sites, podcasts

may not let up.

What does it matter?

This is not that simple.

The future mayoral candidate of Seoul received

sexual bribes from a construction company president.

The victim filed charges with the police.

The minority party

seem to have started an investigation.

It is difficult to stop it completely.

You said they were small.

Do you know why they remain small?

They can't join together.

They talk from their own bedrooms.

That's why they can't do anything.

They will always remain small.

Don't you agree?

Yes, Sir.

Next.

It's about Bongjin Life Insurance.

I heard from the Prosecutors' Office...

- But? / - Pardon?

The name was Healer, right?

Right, that messenger?

It's a very familiar name.

That's what they called him

a very long time ago.

How many?

Don't be stupid and follow someone like this again.

You may end up dead.

It is him.

That's the guy. Healer.

But why me?

Why me?

Why?

Wait!

I said not to go near the window.

They may have followed me.

Look who's outside.

Someone is here?

I knew it. What should we do?

Those thugs.

No, that man.

What?

Don't ask my age

If you do

Chisu!

Hurry up and come in.

Chisu.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Hey, Bongsu.

Ma'am.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm okay.

But

I ran away first.

You asked me to protect her,

but I was so scared.

And there was nothing I could do anyway.

And when I came to my senses,

I was running away alone.

Didn't you say he got hit badly?

I know.

Didn't you pass out from being beat up?

You're right. I got hit here and...

Let me see.

What?

Well... I have a sensitive part.

He seems fine.

But why were you sleeping outside?

Right.

I was worried about her,

but I didn't want to wake her, so...

I kept wondering what I should do and

it made me sleepy, and...

What happened to your hand?

I don't know. I may have been hit or...

I may have fallen when I got hit.

Ouch.

That hurts.

- Bongsuk. / - Sorry?

I'm not Bongsuk. My name is...

Still, I was saved because you called the police.

You get scared so easily and

you were beat up, but you still called the police.

Come here.

Excuse me, but if you do this here...

Do you know how worried I was?

You good boy.

- You cute little thing. / - Excuse me...

I know I'm cute, but this is...

That's right. Dad.

You can't go to the police station alone with Yeonhui.

And our house isn't that safe either, so...

Hey, who am I?

Just one phone call and truckloads of friends

will come running.

Con artists, fighters, thieves...

I have all types of friends.

I just need to make one phone call and it's over.

But

aren't you done applying that ointment yet?

Why are you holding a guy's hand for so long?

It's all done. Let's go eat.

Pardon? I...

Me too?

Then what?

We'll eat here and you'll sit there and starve?

Let's go.

Wait...

Yeongsin made this potato dish. Try it.

Here.

Yeongsin can make only three dishes.

This potato dish is one of them.

Come on, it isn't three.

There's the potato, kimchi fried rice, and

curry, and...

Let's eat.

- Thank you for the food. / - Thank you for the food.

Thank...

Why aren't you eating?

Do you prefer bread?

Then go downstairs.

Cheolmin is probably making some toast.

No, there are just so many to eat.

Find every construction bid Jeguk Construction

submitted over the past three to five years.

If Mr. Hwang offered up sexual bribes, I'm sure

some are related to Kim Uichan.

Yes, Sir.

Go to Public Procurement Service. I'll call Manager Oh.

Yes, Sir.

How many are in Hwang Jeguk's entertainment agency?

I know.

There are about 12.

Wow. This guy smells rotten.

Why does a construction guy

have an entertainment agency?

They don't have anyone famous either.

They are women that they enticed by offering stardom.

Stardom my foot.

It's obvious they were used for sexual bribes.

It's obvious?

- Well, so... / - "It's obvious"?

- Are you a reporter or a psychic? / - I'm sorry.

Contact all the actresses in that agency.

See if anyone went through the same thing

or knows about it.

Yes, leave it to me.

Interviewing women is my specialty.

We need to look into Kim Uichan, too. His assistants...

Munho.

You know someone?

Behind you.

Another team is taking on Kim Uichan and Hwang Jeguk.

You need to work on something else.

Go to the Philippines.

You know a Korean company

president's daughter was kidnapped there.

- Yes, I do. / - You cover that story.

Wasn't she kidnapped a year ago?

"As more Korean companies enter other countries,"

"more crimes against them are occurring."

That will be the theme and...

Is this your idea, or the higher ups?

Or external forces?

- This special? / - To urgently dig up a year-old case

and get me out of the country for a while.

Munho.

Whenever my sister serves her food,

she always decorates them.

For example, with herbs or flowers.

So can't you just use one of my stories

as a decoration to this department?

When all the other news stations say the same things,

you can use my twisted story.

Is that utterly impossible?

This is the exclusive news section of the department

and I am the section chief.

I am ordering my subordinate to investigate this story.

What should I do?

Should I put my hands together and beg?

I'm talking right now.

What are you doing?

You do realize that

you're being childish and immature, right?

Are you a 20-year-old kid?

Minjae.

Smile once in a while.

It's such a shame. You have

such a pretty smile.

I, Kim Munho, editor of the news department, resign

due to conflict of interest with the head office.

Should we just switch places?

My chair looks more comfortable, doesn't it?

Pardon? No, thank you.

- I'm satisfied as is. / - Why not?

I get better sunlight here.

UV rays are bad for the skin. It causes sunspots.

Chae Yeongsin, you punk!

I'll never do that again.

What? You won't do what?

A lowly reporter posted a story

without obtaining the chief's approval.

Even if it was an exclusive no one else dared to touch,

and we recorded the most views in our history.

Regardless of how impactful it was, a lowly reporter...

How dare...

- Reporter Yeo. / - Yes, Sir.

What happened to Yeongsin's article today?

Is it still a top searched item?

No, it disappeared a while ago.

An exclusive is

an exclusive only if someone takes it in.

You can build an empire in a volcano.

If no one cares, then it is nothing but garbage.

It's even less useful than toilet paper!

You are correct.

- Reporter Yeo. / - Yes, Sir.

Did anyone else take up

the Kim Uichan, Hwang Jeguk story?

A few. Onara News, Incidents and Truth, and...

What?

Not people who live in their own bubble!

The mainstream newspapers or TV stations

that people read or watch!

No, Sir.

And,

this came to our office.

Assemblyman Kim Uichan is suing us for defamation.

That's absurd.

I never used his full name. When did I...

Really? Really? Okay, let's take a look.

Okay, "An assemblyman in his third term."

"Lead candidate for Seoul Mayor, Assemblyman K."

Goodness. Isn't this more specific than his name?

This identifies him here, and here, and here...

I made a huge mistake.

Chief, would the trial cost a lot? I'm...

Are you serious?

It's one or the other.

First...

I can't quit.

This isn't fair. If I've done anything wrong,

it's drinking too much that night and

being out of my mind from not sleeping for days.

That is all.

Then second...

I'll do anything.

- Do it right. / - But that's...

- Sorry? / - Whether you write an article or submit

evidence to court, dig up something that we can use.

That way, we can survive.

Remember what I just said.

It's a pretty cool line

which is rare from my mouth.

Gosh, my stomach.

Hey Lady, are you still upset?

Hey, Lady.

Hey, Sister.

Minja?

Honey.

You crazy jerk.

You know you can't stay mad at me for more than a day.

Just know this.

If you are arrested or your identity is compromised,

I will drop you in a heartbeat.

I know.

If you want to stay alive in prison, you must delete

all of your memories of me.

Do I even have any memories of you?

Do I know what you look like or your address?

Right?

Minja isn't even your real name, is it?

So what?

You'll continue playing Superman there?

Superman? What did he do?

You don't know Superman? Even if you don't watch...

There are so many "mans."

Which "man" is he?

Someone who went undercover at a newspaper for a girl.

So... What? What now?

I sent you a picture.

My dad, Master and three others are in the picture.

Find out who they are.

The best way is to ask Master directly...

But you still can't reach him, right?

It's too sweet.

And Daeyong is tailing Bae Sangsu now.

She'll call when the time is right.

Help her out when she does.

When the time is right?

Help her out with what?

- Bae Sangsu is trying to... / - Bongsu!

- Can you drive? / - Yes.

- I have a class one... / - Good.

- Where are we going? / - Come. It's important.

I have a super hot angel in front of me,

so record your message quickly and hang up.

And stop calling!

Hey, Jeong Chibeom.

Your apprentice

started getting interested in your friends.

Should I just leave him be, or what?

And your apprentice...

I don't think he realizes yet, but I think

a girl is complicating his job and his life.

If this keeps up, it won't work for me.

I'll watch for now, but if he doesn't snap out of it,

we may need to replace him.

Do you have any other successors?

Someone who can take over as the Healer.

Pardon?

Pardon?

Even if I am alone, I am not sad

Because I have memories with you

But

This deep sense of emptiness

Do you always

just sing random songs

anywhere?

They are not random songs.

I don't like current songs, so I sing classics.

And there is a time and place when I sing.

When I'm super happy, or super annoyed.

And like now

when I'm nervous and scared and worried.

If the days pass by, one by one, will I get used to it?

Do you even have an appointment?

That Hwang Jeguk guy...

Will he even meet with us?

Of course not.

But who am I?

I've honed my skills in following, staking out and

barging into people's homes in this industry,

so just leave it to me...

Wait, did you just talk down to me?

Pardon? Of course, not, Ma'am.

You must have heard wrong.

No, I'm sure I heard you just now.

- You... / - I think we're here.

This is it?

This is it? You mean it?

- This is bad. / - What is? Why?

This looks bad. Very bad.

We can either just drive past, or...

or we can make a U-turn.

We can't do that.

Stop the car.

No, never mind. Pass. Let's come up with a plan first.

Go.

No, stop.

We need to fight them head on.

- Yes. / - Head on.

No, go. Go.

Go.

No, stop!

Stop. I have my pride.

Pride.

I'm scared. Let's just go. Just go.

Let's make an appointment first. Hurry. Go, go.

Hello, Mr. Bae. What brought you here?

Are you making sure your boys are protecting me well?

Your boys do good work.

Not a single reporter has even come close.

I've brought a reporter.

What?

She's the one who first wrote the story on you.

We think she may be hiding Joo Yeonhui.

I see.

It was her?

The reporter wasn't a guy, but a girl?

Hello, I'm Reporter Chae Yeongsin of Someday News.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask

a few questions.

Not over the phone or by e-mail.

You came to see me in person?

Wow, what a hard-working reporter.

And you've got guts.

I didn't think you'd answer my call

and I didn't think you'd meet us,

so we came to take a few pictures from the outside.

Look at this thing. Not bad.

Hey, Miss. Do you want me to scout you?

How could I dare to... I'm...

No, no. Our entertainment agency is pretty big.

We give a fat signing bonus, too.

You know Joo Yeonhui, correct?

She was an actress in your agency.

I like you more and more.

You know she reported you to the police, correct?

Bribery, accessory to rape and

she said she was beaten up, too.

We have photographs from the hospital where she went.

I'd like to hear what you have to say.

But you know,

you're speaking unbelievably rudely.

How old are you?

- I'm old enough. / - And yet, you don't get it?

Even if you write your stories, no one will take them.

We at Someday News...

Should I tell the IRS to

audit that newspaper company?

If the owner finds out,

he'll rush over and get on his knees.

- But Mr... / - Yeonhui.

Where is she?

You're becoming more and more curt.

What? She was beaten up?

Like this?

Is this what she meant?

- Let's go. / - Move.

I'm scared. I can't do this.

I don't want to do this. Let's go, please?

Hey! You can't leave yet.

I have a lot to teach you.

Mr. Bae, did you hear me? I have a lot more to say!

An interview?

- Hey. / - Fine, I'll bring everyone

- Hey. / - in my agency so you can ask them!

Ask them how generous I am to those

useless pieces of trash.

My generosity knows no end. Just ask them!

Hey.

The time is right.

Now?

But there are so many of them.

Hey, Miss. Come over here.

Let's do our interview. A deep interview.

Let's go very deep.

Hey!

It's been connected.

That's it!

What?

Is someone in there?

Open the door.

Hey! Hey! What's going on?

What is it?

What? What do you mean my car is haunted?

Fine.

I need to step out for a minute.

You, come with me. You, stay.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, Reporter lady.

You've never seen someone get hit before?

Did you write about something you can't even see?

You, as a reporter must go to the scene

and write only which you see or hear.

Now that you've seen it,

you should start writing. So, what will you say?

Try it out with me.

Get them!

Look up.

Were you that scared?

You...

What?

- You... / - I can't hear you! Louder!

You're a piece of trash

that can't even be recycled.

Sir!

Bongsu!

Ma'am?

Are you okay?

Please help me.

Look at me.

Follow me. Can you do that?

Come here.

The reason I show up near her is because

I've been using her as the bait.

They filed charges against Yeonhui?

You're Healer, aren't you?

We have no video and no power.

We have no money to go to court.

The truth?

Who cares about that anymore?

He is definitely Kim Munsik, the owner of Jaeil News.

The one who killed Ko Seongcheol and framed me too.

I got a new crush.

I think I've met him.
