Original subtitles

What on earth?

Look up.

Were you that scared?

You...

That's it!

Who is that?

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

You are a piece of trash

that can't even be recycled.

- Sir! / - Sir!

Bongsu!

Ma'am?

Are you okay?

Please help me.

(Episode 6)

- Bongsu. / - Yes?

It's noisy out there, isn't it?

Yes, it is quite noisy.

My reporter's instincts are telling me

not to miss this chance. So, get ready.

What? Get ready?

The car key.

Right, the car key. Here.

We will run to the car.

You will run at lightning speed and start the car.

I will just as quickly get in and lock the door.

And we get out of here. Ready?

Can't we switch roles?

Maybe you should drive and I take care of whatever...

If I could drive, why would I have brought you here?

Right.

- Ready? / - Ready.

- Go! / - Go! Go!

We're coming out. I need you to clear the path.

Hey, hey, hey! Stop that! Stop that!

Don't you dare scratch up my car!

Put that thing down! I said, put it down!

Give my car back!

Hey! Wait!

Clear the path? So I just run over a few of them then?

Gosh, whatever!

Don't touch my car and stop it.

Stop it somehow.

Hey!

The car key!

What on earth?

Get them!

Wasn't that Bae Sangsu's car?

Did you see that? That was Bae Sangsu, right?

What the...

Mister! Please take us to the police!

Those people... Those gangsters are

trying to kill us.

Bongsu, what's wrong? Are you hurt?

There they are!

- Come here. / - Come here.

Hold on.

Use of force in broad daylight by a large group

and possession of weapons?

Who is this punk?

Violent language and intimidation.

Keep going.

What the...

Hey.

Hello, Detective Yoon.

What brought you here?

What about you?

What are you doing here, kid?

Are these boys all yours?

You're a detective?

Yes.

I'm Yoon Dongwon of Cyber Security Division.

You seem to have something to report to the police.

I have some questions, too.

You see...

Bongsu!

What? Where did he go?

Where are you?

Daeyong is headed to the overpass.

Get to the container yard.

Daeyong, did you hear that?

You are a dead man.

Hey! Stop the car!

Stop the car!

I'm by the containers. Where are you?

Where do I go now? Stop here? Or should I just go?

Why aren't you answering?

Hey! You jerk!

Who are you?

- You're a girl? / - Hey!

- What? / - Where are you?

What are you babbling about?

Hey!

- Keep it down. Keep it down. / - Ouch! Ouch!

Seriously, let's not tire ourselves out.

I'll leave after we chat.

You're Healer, aren't you?

Bingo.

I knew it.

I heard you show up near that Someday reporter witch.

Yes.

What is your relationship with that witch?

You're a company president, for goodness sake.

Watch your language.

The reason I show up near her is because

I've been using her as the bait.

Bait?

I wanted to meet quietly with you like this.

I followed your boys and they seemed interested in her.

So I followed her for a few days.

And look. You fell into the trap.

If you wanted to meet me, you could've come to my...

What are you doing?

You use this one all the time.

- Hey! Hey! / - Don't laugh.

You don't seem to use this very often.

So this one is for the special customers.

What is your password?

You think I'll tell you that easily?

Gosh, you really think...

What?

Let's see. The handcuffs show up nicely.

I'll post this on your company website.

Your boys would love it.

I'll title it "Captured by Lord Healer"...

Look in front.

- Will you look in front? / - Yes, Sir.

I can break the code with time, but it's annoying.

And the picture I just took?

I'll post it onto SS Guard's customer message board.

The password.

V1. V, then 1.

V1.

It worked.

There is one entry in your contacts.

"Boss"?

That's my girlfriend. So what?

Any voice recordings?

Yes, there they are.

This is how you run a business.

Record all conversations with your client.

As they say, better safe than sorry.

Let's see, the newest recording is...

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.

Hey.

There is something called ethics in this business.

Sure there is, but I don't have any.

You're impossible.

Hey, Healer is well-known as a classy guy.

But what is this? Threats and blackmail...

Were you always a dirty coward like this?

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.

This man.

- Who is he? / - Why? So you can threaten him?

He's one of them, isn't he?

Do you want to tell me, or

should I call your Boss and ask him directly?

I'll send him the picture I just took and say

"Hello, I am Healer."

"I heard all about you from your lackey."

"You asked him to get rid of me?" Should I do that?

Gosh, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

What is wrong with me?

I threatened you again.

Sangsu.

Yes?

Yes.

She just arrived at the police station.

It is definitely Joo Yeonhui.

I'm positive.

I had everyone send the documents to their reporters.

The articles will be posted online today.

It isn't the first time. Everyone will do their job.

- Here you go. / - Thank you.

So, you went to Mr. Hwang's house

to follow up on the story?

That's right.

And then,

I saw Hwang Jeguk attack one of his actresses.

I was almost attacked, too.

- There were many guys there, correct? / - Yes.

Do you know who they are?

That's right. They tried to kidnap me last time.

Kidnap?

One of them carries a toy. Like this.

He is definitely the one who attacked me last time.

I reported it last time too,

but I didn't know exactly who they were.

Now that we know, please take care of it quickly.

You know Hwang Jeguk's minions' address, right?

Is there anyone who can corroborate your story?

Yes. My subordinate saw everything. He was with me.

He was hit last time, too.

He was hit? Was he examined at a hospital?

Well, that is...

Is he the one who hit my car and ran away?

He gets scared easily.

He has a habit of running away if he gets scared, too.

But think about it. How scared must he have been?

Do you happen to know

a man named Ko Seongcheol?

Who?

You don't?

If you'd give me a hint...

Okay, Reporter Chae Yeongsin.

You wrote this story recently, correct?

Yes, that's mine.

I went to see Hwang Jeguk to follow up on that.

Is victim "J", Joo Yeonhui?

Wow. Your deductive skills are totally awesome.

It's not that my deduction skill is awesome, but...

Someone pressed charges against her.

Hwang Jeguk, to be precise.

Hwang Jeguk, that piece of trash!

He pressed charges against her? Why? For what?

Someday News was also named in the complaint.

You and the editor-in-chief were lumped all in one.

Let me run a quick search, please.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

How much longer do we have to wait?

For what?

I told you, we're here to give the victim's statement.

Just wait.

Excuse me.

Reporter Chae Yeongsin?

I haven't been arrested, have I?

No, but I have a few questions...

I'm a reporter at Someday. If you have questions,

call me there at any time. You can always reach me.

I need to go. Have a nice day.

Excuse me, Miss. Hey...

Miss Joo Yeonhui?

Yes, she is Joo Yeonhui.

And you would be...

I'm her lawyer and will be with her during the process.

I'm Attorney Chae Chisu.

I see.

So you must know there is a warrant out for her arrest.

A warrant out for her arrest? Who?

Hey, Yeongsin.

I'm at the police station. I have to go. Bye.

Come on, Dad. Pick up.

"Suspect, Joo Yeonhui."

"Defamation based on lies and exaggerations."

Your whereabouts were unknown.

Hence the warrant was issued.

Sir.

Excuse me.

We came here to give a statement as the victim.

You'll have to undergo questioning as a suspect, too.

- Hello? / - Hello, I'm Chae Yeongsin of Someday News.

Do you remember me?

Yes, I remember.

Do you also remember telling me to call

if I can't handle?

I really hate to admit it but

that is why I'm calling you.

If I give you

everything that I've gathered so far, and my source,

would you make a story?

Not just any story, but a proper one.

Is that source Joo Yeonhui herself?

Yes.

Is it just her word, or do you have other proof?

I have the texts she exchanged

with Hwang Jeguk and Kim Uichan.

I have the medical exam record from the assault.

- What about the video? / - Sorry?

You said she was blackmailed using a video.

You said that in your article.

I don't have...

the video.

Why am I calling you right now if I had it?

I'd just release it myself.

We have no video and no power.

We have no money to go to court.

Even if we post the story, a B-rated Internet news site

like us is dead if the portal shuts us down.

But you said you can do it, that you have the power.

Yeongsin, listen carefully.

I'm listening.

Before, the higher-ups just blocked stories

they didn't like.

So all you had to do was put your life on the line.

Then you could get the story out. But not anymore.

Now, they'll bury it with countless garbage stories.

How can they do that?

Because people prefer garbage over the truth.

So?

The truth?

Who cares about that anymore?

Then what?

No one wants to know the truth.

You still want it to be out?

Look here. I just asked

if you could publish the story if I give it to you.

All you have to do is answer yes or no.

Why are you trying to teach me...

Why do you care so much? You can walk away now.

Joo Yeonhui is about to be wrongfully imprisoned.

You want me to just sit back and watch?

You can't just watch, so you're dumping it on me?

Gosh. You're the one who nagged and begged for it.

What?

We can put my name down as the source.

If anyone must get arrested, I'll take the fall.

So you just publish the story!

- Really? / - Yes!

What are you doing here?

I'm waiting for the homeowner.

You know the code. Why did you wait outside?

I'm worried about what the owner would think.

That's why.

The Kang Minjae is worried about what I'd think?

This is main-news worthy. Don't you agree?

I know a lawyer in the law firm they are using.

I'll find out

how many lawyers they put on this care.

Darn it. All they have is money, those punks.

- Let's... / - Yeongsin.

Yeongsin, why are you here?

- Come on. / - Joo Yeonhui!

Joo Yeonhui!

- Joo Yeonhui! / - Joo Yeonhui!

Joo Yeonhui's case was transferred to local news.

"The premise is a new type of blackmail con."

A blackmail con?

Young women target famous men and

approach them intentionally.

They induce a date or sexual relations,

and then ask for money or goods.

And the representative example is Joo Yeonhui?

She is the worst of them all.

She and an entertainment reporter published

an article and threatened an assemblyman

who is a future Seoul mayoral candidate.

There is talk that she demanded three million dollars.

How much did you ask for exactly?

Is it three or four million dollars?

You pointed out an assemblyman from the ruling party.

He says he met you once at a dinner.

Which side is telling the truth?

We'll answer questions later.

Is someone behind this, or did you scheme it alone?

Did you come to turn yourself in?

Please move.

Are you working alone?

You contacted an assemblyman of the minority party?

Who is he?

Just one word, please!

Excuse me.

The sexual bribe matter that lit up the Internet was

revealed to be an actress-in-training's fabrication.

This appears to be one of the latest cons

called a "Seductress Blackmail Con."

Ta-da.

You really are good.

You learned how to cook by helping your sister?

I wish I could try her food.

What about your first love?

Has she tried your sister's food?

You still remember that? You should forget it.

What woman would forget something like that?

We were a couple since we started work.

But no matter how long I waited, the guy said nothing

so finally, the girl proposed to the guy instead.

Do you realize how difficult that was?

But

the guy's response was this.

"Minjae,"

"there is still my first love in my heart."

"So no matter how hard you try,"

"you won't be more than my second."

"Are you okay with that?"

You said no.

What woman would say yes?

Let's toast to that first love.

That's enough.

I'm already feeling bad.

Fine, then to Reporter Kim Munho's resignation?

That, I'll drink to that. Cheers.

You're not going into your brother's company, are you?

Who knows? Maybe.

No way.

Then you couldn't have quit so proudly.

You would've crawled out silently and humiliated.

You can write a thesis on me, you know that?

What is it?

At least give me an explanation.

You can give me that much, can't you?

There is a kid I want to mentor.

So?

I'll teach her the basics first. She has potential.

- And then? / - And then

would you take her in?

That person is woman?

I told you, she's a kid.

But why do you have to leave?

You can bring her into our station.

You said no.

What do you mean?

You said we can't cover Joo Yeonhui's story.

I can't teach her properly like that.

Her dream is to become a real reporter.

What you just said...

What did you mean by asking me to take her in?

What do you plan to do then?

And who is she?

Is she related to your

first love?

Minjae.

Why...

Why do you make me say this?

Why must you make me this way?

I owe her a big debt.

It's weighing down on my heart.

I want to repay that debt.

Once you do,

will that first spot in your heart become vacant?

That is my wish.

Once you do,

what comes next?

I'm going to leave.

Where to?

Alaska? Africa?

Somewhere very cold or very hot.

I've always lived

a very lukewarm life until now.

Are you sure this is the right address, Boss?

I'm on the fourth floor, but there is nothing here.

Just leave it? Where?

Oh, I see it.

Honey, I'm not in right now.

Leave me a message and

you have to end it with

"I love you."

Seriously.

What on earth?

Hey, Lady. Why are you out all day? What are you doing?

Did you hear Bae Sangsu's recording?

It is definitely Kim Munsik,

the owner of Jaeil News, right?

The one who hired me to get a file from Ko Seongcheol.

The one who killed Ko Seongcheol and framed me, too.

Why else would he order Bae Sangsu to get rid of me?

So, I was thinking...

I'd like to get rid of him myself instead,

but I need your help.

Seriously, where are you all day?

You don't pick up just because you're not at your desk?

Why do you think it's called "a mobile phone"?

It's because you can move around and answer...

Gosh.

Anyway, let's talk, okay?

Heard that?

Soon, Jeonghu will find out on his own

that Kim Munsik was his dad's friend.

Did you hack into the security cameras?

I did.

You can breathe now.

Kim Munsik. His dad. Me, his master. Myeonghui.

And Gilhan. He'll find out we were all friends, right?

If you taught him well, it's just a matter of time.

He'll find out how his dad died, too.

He probably will, right?

Jeonghu's mom told him that

his dad died in an accident

but he'll find out the truth with a little digging.

He can easily find an old newspaper article from then.

Seo Junseo, born in 1960.

While being investigated for killing

his friend for money, the guilt

overwhelmed him and he killed himself.

Detective Jo, you haven't changed.

That venomous tongue that has

no consideration for others.

That's right. You don't like being called "detective."

But you've spent these past few years with Jeonghu.

What do you think of him?

How would he react if he found out

what his father had done?

He's already a little autistic.

What? His dream is to leave everything and

live alone on a deserted island?

That timid boy.

- Hey, Jeong Chibeom. / - What?

You lived with him for years and you didn't know?

What?

Jeonghu has never left anyone.

All the people around him left him.

His dad, his mom, his grandmother.

Even you, his master.

Let's take a picture. Get up.

Munsik! Get over here.

You're so cheesy. How immature.

Look at him.

- Smile. Smile. / - Let's go!

- Cheese! / - Cheese!

Bongsu, is this your number? It's me, Yeongsin.

Hey, you stupid coward.

You left me behind and ran away during that mess

and you don't even call?

Do you want to die?

What?

Are you okay?

This is my number. Let me know if you're okay.

I was too busy today to check on you.

You are okay, right?

I wish I could die just about now.

What the...

"Do you want to die?"

You have such a foul mouth. Seriously.

"Are you okay?"

"You are okay, right?"

Whatever.

- I wish I could... / - Die?

Have some hot chocolate.

You barely touched your dinner.

A soldier must eat before a battle.

You need the energy to fight.

Here, drink.

The amount they quote bothers me.

Did you ever mention a price?

Particularly three million dollars?

Did you ever say that number?

No, I never asked...

Wait, actually...

Back when I said I'd report him

if he kept forcing me do sexual favors,

he asked how much I wanted,

and if 30,000 dollars was enough.

So I cried, saying it wasn't about money

and I said he should

give me three million dollars, not 30,000 dollars.

That's what I think I said.

They recorded that.

What the...

And one more thing.

Violation of laws on electronic communications

and the protection of information.

It means you exposed his identity online.

They will use Yeongsin's article for this.

Identity? I never wrote his name.

- My article merely... / - Shut it.

Okay.

Hey, Cheolmin. Print out Yeongsin's article for me.

I need to look at the details.

Yes, Sir.

Hello?

Park Bongsu, why are you calling so late?

Keep it down!

Okay.

Don't you have any consideration for your superior?

If you're going to run, you should tell me first.

I'm sorry, Ma'am.

Why do you sound like that?

I was so shocked, I kept throwing up

and I barely got home and fell asleep.

Do you always throw up when you're scared?

This is so humiliating. Look, I have a favor to ask.

Please don't tell anyone about this.

Why is that humiliating?

Everyone has a weakness.

To be honest, I also have a reaction.

When I get scared, I can't breathe.

But why is that humiliating? It's just inconvenient.

Bongsu? Are you still there?

Yes, I'm here.

Anyway, now that I heard your voice, I'm good.

Can you make it to work tomorrow?

Of course.

Then take your time. I'll tell the chief.

But

I feel bad, too.

I dragged a new guy to such a dangerous place.

- Anyway, goodnight. / - Yes, you too.

- Hold up. / - What?

I'm right. You keep talking down to me.

But what was that text you sent me?

That you just wanted to die.

That?

It's a long story.

Don't you need to sleep? Is your stomach okay?

I'm lying down, so I'm fine now.

You know that article I wrote?

That backfired on me.

Joo Yeonhui, the newspaper, and I are being sued.

The media is mostly on their side

so the public will be, too.

It's something I can't handle like someone said.

Who? Reporter Kim Munho?

Don't even mention that name to me.

- Why not? / - I swallowed my pride and called him.

- Kim Munho? / - I said not to say his name.

That jerk totally changed his tune

now that the situation has changed.

He's a total jerk.

He doesn't even deserve to be anything.

Is he that famous?

You work in the media. How do you not know him?

He's that big?

I used to like him a lot.

He was my idol, my first love, and

my long-term crush.

I mean, I had his poster on my wall

instead of celebrities.

And since last year, he is

one of my two men.

What do you mean?

I got a new crush.

You are something else.

So who is the other crush?

Somebody. You wouldn't know even if I told you.

Is he a reporter, too?

He's a night messenger.

- What? / - You've never heard of that before, right?

No, I haven't.

Anyway, he's really good.

He's very famous in that industry.

All I know about him are the rumors,

but you know how rumors are.

They are exaggerated and are blown out of proportion.

But it made

my heart race and

made me fantasize.

That's how my second crush began.

He is so expensive and secretive

so I wonder if I'd ever get to meet him.

But

I think

I have met him.

You've met him?

That night messenger?

Yes.

I didn't see his face,

but that feeling...

You know, that feeling...

That feeling...

What am I saying? I've lost my mind.

Anyway, Bongsu, you're strange.

- Why am I strange? / - You are

strangely comfortable

as if

we were sisters.

Goodnight. I need to go feel uncomfortable. Later.

What? It feels like what?

We're sisters?

Did you call for me, Sir?

Welcome.

Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kim.

I only did what you taught me.

Have a seat.

Your usual?

Cognac on the rocks?

Thank you.

You know,

cognac is best taken neat.

You're supposed to enjoy the aroma of cognac.

But this is all theoretical.

Nothing is more correct than my taste buds

and preferences.

Because I am the center of the universe.

So, I am the most important.

Don't you agree?

I have a long way to go

before reaching that state.

Assemblyman Kim.

Yes, Sir.

You know,

we live together in this society.

Shouldn't there be a minimum standard we must keep?

I have no excuse, Sir.

Do you believe that heroes should enjoy sex?

No, Sir.

It isn't like that.

Mr. Kim included,

many people worked very hard to make you

a mayoral candidate of Seoul.

You can't disappoint us

because of some girl

now, can you?

It will never happen again.

It was a momentary lapse in judgment.

There were such high expectations of me

that I was extremely stressed.

I am not trying to make excuses.

Please, Sir.

Give me another chance.

I'll do it.

You can go.

Thank you.

Why do you keep getting lighter?

You make me nervous.

How are you always the same?

You make me feel bad.

Even if I annoy you, you don't show it.

You are not annoying. Not at all.

How is that possible? You're only human.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Did you take your medicine?

I did.

- Is the light okay? / - Yes.

I'll leave after you fall asleep.

Do you want me to read to you?

What did you do today?

- You can't sleep? / - Hmm...

I can't.

Today,

I met with some morons again.

Seeing those morons,

I wondered if it's really okay to

trust these utterly stupid

and utterly vulgar beings

who are filled only with greed

like disgusting insects.

Kim Munsik.

You've changed a lot.

You just said I'm always the same.

The Kim Munsik in college was quiet and sensitive

and just laughed in the background.

Probably.

But the Kim Munsik today is

like Merlin, the magician

behind King Arthur.

Wise and cunning,

full of trickery.

Either compliment me or insult me. Just stick to one.

Mr. Kim Munsik.

Yes, Ma'am?

Do you want to

stop being Merlin, and become King Arthur?

You don't like it?

For the past 20 years,

you've climbed higher and higher and

grew more powerful.

Is it still not enough?

- Myeonghui. / - Yes?

I haven't changed since college.

While you shouted and sought democracy and justice,

all I did was drive.

But I tried

saying what's wrong is wrong.

I still want to say what's wrong is wrong.

I merely realized that

in order to do that, you need power.

Okay, fine.

I'm sorry for questioning you.

Go to sleep, okay?

Go on.

Why isn't he calling? Why? Why? Why?

- Reporter Yeo. / - Yes.

Are you sure the chairman hasn't called?

No, I didn't even leave for a bathroom break.

I'm positive that he has not.

That is strange.

He said he'd send a lawyer this morning.

He said he'd send a lawyer that he knows

by this morning.

Shouldn't we wait until 11:59 a.m. then?

- Why you... / - Chief! Chief!

What?

- Someone... / - Is he here? The lawyer is here?

No. It's...

Wow. He looks just like Reporter Kim Munho.

Chief Jang Byeongse, I presume?

Yes, I am Chief Jang Byeongse, but...

I'm Kim Munho.

What brings Reporter Kim Munho here...

I see.

You came all the way here to investigate that story?

I look forward to working with you.

What?

Boo!

You scared me.

You're here early. How do you feel?

I feel fine, Ma'am.

You're not talking down to me.

Is someone moving in?

Is what I see here the entire newspaper company?

Marketing and administration are over that way.

We do the art, editing, and everything else here.

I know I already asked earlier, but

what brings you...

- Hello! Good morning! / - Hold on.

We will create a video department in Someday News.

And I will run it.

What?

He's the real Reporter Kim Munho. Aren't you shocked?

Then we'll need a camera crew, an editing room,

and more space.

We'll have to use another floor in this building.

Excuse me, Reporter Kim Munho.

The owner of our Someday News

owns this building as well, so... Excuse me.

Hello? I'm busy, so call back...

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Yes.

Pardon? Yes.

- Yeongsin. / - Yes, Chief.

Our chairman has

sold the building.

He sold this paper, too.

To who?

I think I can use this space.

But we need a place to put the video equipment.

Video equipment, as in cameras and such?

Please tell them where to put these.

Yes. Please come this way.

- This way. / - Okay.

- Chae Yeongsin. / - Yes?

Shouldn't you be very busy right now?

Me?

What time is it?

It's 8...

Ouch.

Call home. Tell them you can't go home for a few days.

Do you know Munho's first love?

He said this is to repay a debt to that girl.

Kim Uichan will announce his candidacy for mayor.

I'm thinking of sending you.

I'll do it.
