(Episode 9)

Jian!

Jian!

Jian.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Say something.

Munho...

Yes, it's me. Look at me.

You said to come to the roof,

so I tried to come up,

but the elevator broke.

I would have fallen and died.

But he...

He showed up and saved me.

I couldn't see his face

but I saw him. It was Healer.

You know.

Okay. That's enough.

He almost died because of me.

He almost died.

Can you walk?

Let's go.

Come with me.

What?

Yeongsin.

- My phone. / - What?

My phone.

That was my mom's. I can't lose it.

It must be there. In the elevator.

Let's go for now. We'll get it later. Okay?

Let's go down.

Someone definitely

sabotaged the elevator.

Seeing how it broke and fell right then,

he was nearby.

That jerk

did it knowing it was Yeongsin.

Okay. I'll look through the security cameras nearby.

And about Kim Munho...

Track him and see where he's headed.

In other words, track where he's taking Chae Yeongsin?

Okay.

I hid my babies in his phone, so that is not a problem.

- But, Healer. / - What?

What will you do yourself?

Me?

I need to find something.

What was that?

Healer?

Healer.

Hello?

I...

I...

I tripped.

You tripped? You?

You don't trip even if someone tried to trip you,

but you tripped on your own?

And what's wrong with your vitals?

Your heart rate is completely...

Yeongsin.

Do you know how to check vitals?

A family member is sick, so I learned it.

Are you okay?

I am fine.

You don't need to go to the hospital?

I'm not hurt.

You were having difficulty breathing.

Right, yes. Briefly. Because I was in shock.

I'm fine now.

Okay.

Did you meet the informant?

You can go without meeting him?

Is that what I said on the phone?

That I'm meeting an informant?

The call was about meeting an informant on Kim Uichan

and to hurry over.

What else?

I was to turn off my phone in case someone tracks me.

- That wasn't me. / - Pardon?

Someone called you while faking my voice

to get you to come.

It sounded just like you.

I'm sorry.

- For what? / - They used you to send me a warning.

So,

someone pretended to be you and called me out,

and broke the elevator on purpose to...

No way.

Let's go to my place. Your house is dangerous.

It's a stand-alone house, so anyone can go in and out.

How do you know where I live?

I told you, I ran a background check.

Wow.

Is this a penthouse?

People actually live in places like this?

Wow, look at the view.

If you see this every day, wouldn't you go crazy?

You stayed up all night, didn't you?

I dozed off for about an hour and half.

And you almost died 40 minutes ago.

Right, yes.

Do you have a great personality or are you just dense?

Actually, I want to sing right now,

but I'm holding it in.

You can drink, can't you? I'll add some liquor in here.

And,

I want to ask something, but I'm holding it in.

Why is someone sending you a warning, and why?

What do you mean they used me?

And earlier,

you called me by a different name, didn't you?

Jieun or something?

- Did I? / - You did.

Jiyeon? Anyway, you called me by a name like that.

It's Jian.

It's Oh Jian.

She's someone I knew.

I was flustered. It was a slip of the tongue.

Drink. It will help you fall asleep.

Please tell me what you know.

I need to know. I really almost died.

Think later, just go to sleep first.

Then I'll go home now.

I told you, your house is dangerous.

I'll be fine.

That man, Healer, will protect me.

He even saved me from a falling elevator. So...

You said you investigated Healer,

so you should know he's a night messenger.

He has one standard. Money.

If someone offers him more money tomorrow,

he'll naturally switch sides.

He cares nothing about good and bad, or justice.

That's why he can do what he does.

- Don't trust him. / - Still...

You have a slight fever.

Get some sleep.

- But I... / - Please, for me.

If you don't, I'll be too nervous to go out.

I need to go somewhere right now.

Go get some sleep.

If you're listening, I wanted to tell you this.

Thank you for protecting her

today.

We can call it danger pay,

or a token of appreciation.

I'll deposit a generous amount.

And I have one more request.

If you get an offer from the other side and

you stand against me,

please inform me of it.

I've been a regular client after all.

I'm sure you'd do that much for me.

"Trust me. Trust me just once."

"Then you will be able to trust more and more."

That is what Dad said back then

when he was a stranger.

You don't know it, but I'm a robot.

If you don't like me... You see this?

Here. You see this mole here?

If you don't like me, press here. Then...

You see how I'm moving? If you press it

I become like this. I can't move. See?

I can't move. Do you want to try? Go on. Try it.

Then you'd be able to believe me.

There's no point.

She crawls into any hole or crack she finds

and stays there all day.

Can she even hear?

She can hear. She just can't speak.

I've never really seen her face.

We leave her food at the opening here

and she eats when no one is around.

And then she goes and hides again.

Then where does she sleep?

That's the problem. Winter is coming.

If we force her into a room...

But she is so quick.

She escapes like a squirrel and hides like that.

I can't blame her.

As you've heard, she was in really bad shape

when she was first brought in.

She had bruises all over her body

and multiple broken bones.

Lee Jeongseon and Han Yeongae were incredible,

but one person was added to the group. Who?

None other than Kim Hyeonsik. Do you know him?

You must know Kim Hyeonsik.

When I walked into the alley

My heart was racing

I stared silently at your window

With the curtain drawn

When the rain falls and music flows

I think

Of you

On the night you left

It rained

Just like this

Today

I walk in the rain

It's not like the world became

more trustworthy after meeting dad.

When I wasn't careful, someone stabbed me in the back

And when I opened my heart,

someone crawled in and left a scar.

But I was fine.

If you have just one person you can fully trust,

even if you are stabbed in the back,

you will not be injured too badly.

That's how I was.

That's why it is easier for me to trust someone now

rather than distrust them.

Let's go.

When I walked into the alley

My heart was racing

I stared silently at your window

With the curtain drawn like a fool

Gosh, my legs.

I could not say anything to you

And regretted it when we parted

Munho!

Go inside, Myeonghui.

What's going on?

I need to talk to Munsik. I don't want you to hear us.

So don't come closer.

What do you think you are doing?

Look who's talking? What have you done?

What is it?

You decided not to be human anymore?

Look me in the eye and answer me.

If you're not a human being, what are you?

What are you talking about?

Did you have him do it again?

You don't like getting your hands dirty.

Do you know what he's talking about?

You shouldn't have touched Jian.

You did it expecting to end it all, right?

Fine, let's end it all tonight.

Did you

just say "Jian"?

Saying she was dead when she wasn't, I can understand.

You did it to save Myeonghui who didn't want to live.

Fine.

So, Jian is alive?

You found her?

That's why you ran in here and...

What are you thinking?

You think I did something to her...

Enough. You're making me sick.

I didn't know.

I mean it. I didn't know.

If it wasn't you,

was it Boss that you serve?

Was that a message he was sending me?

- Munho... / - Listen.

Whoever it is,

if you lay a finger on Jian again,

Myeonghui will be the first to find out.

That's your biggest fear, isn't it?

That Myeonghui will find out the truth.

You're crossing the line.

You're using Myeonghui to threaten me?

I have no choice.

I love Myeonghui too.

You want me to just watch Myeonghui that I love

live with the man who hurt her daughter?

Do you really think that I will?

I can't do that.

You guys fought again?

Look at your face. Have you had dinner?

I will give you something to drink for now.

You look like you were in a desert for a week.

You really don't look good.

What are you doing? My arm hurts.

Let me heat up some food. Just a minute.

- Myeonghui. / - What?

I'm sorry.

For what?

Munho. You can cry.

You can cry in front of me.

I won't let anyone else see it.

It's okay.

No.

It isn't okay.

I know, so it's okay.

You must be really upset.

Whatever it is, it will be okay.

Trust me, okay?

Munho.

Tell me.

What's going on?

It was Boss' order.

Tell me exactly what that order was.

He ordered you to

find that child and...

do what exactly to her?

What have you been doing

behind my back?

That is...

This is Healer headquarters.

Your deadline to turn over Ko Seongcheol's killer

to the police is approaching.

If you fail to complete your mission,

these are the TV stations on which

that problematic video will be aired.

Assistant Oh.

Yes, Sir.

I need to meet Boss. Set it up.

Yes, Sir.

If it airs during a drama, will many people get angry?

Anyway, this is what we are going to do.

We've prepared a nice trailer to draw more viewers.

Please tune in.

Testing. One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four.

All I know is love

Daeyong, baby.

- Yes, Boss. / - What are you doing?

- I'm on a stakeout. / - What stakeout?

I was told to stake out Chae Yeongsin's house.

- Where's Healer? / - Ask him yourself.

It's not like he'd tell me if I asked.

Even if he did tell me, it's not like I'd understand.

But who will pay my overtime?

Hello? Boss? My overtime...

Healer, you punk. Why did you turn off the radio?

I said not to turn it off no matter what you're doing.

It's me.

Jeong Chibeom?

Why are you there? That's Jeonghu's house.

This was my house first.

That isn't a house. It's an abandoned warehouse.

And Jeonghu is the one who turned it into a home.

So, is Jeonghu there or not?

No.

He had so many locks on that door,

it took me all day to break in.

So why did you go there? He doesn't let anyone in.

Even I don't touch his place.

- Detective Jo. / - What?

I have a favor to ask.

I don't do favors for anyone.

I do accept job offers though. How much is it worth?

Kim Munsik's brother, Munho.

You bugged his cell phone, right?

I did, So?

Check his emails and stuff. I need to check something.

What about it?

You said Munho requested a DNA sample?

He did.

And it was to find a daughter of someone's?

Yes, a girl in her late 20s.

And she was an orphan?

Yes, she was orphaned in 1992.

Then there is only one person Munho would search for.

Myeonghui and Gilhan's daughter, Oh Jian.

Hello?

Sorry, I think I dialed the wrong number. Sorry.

- Hello? / - Yes! I got it right.

I'm good with numbers.

I knew I'd remember your number.

Aren't you impressed?

What happened to your cell phone?

I lost it.

I'm seeing how many numbers I can recall.

So how many do you remember?

Well, you are

the 19th, I think?

I'm honored.

I made it to the top 20.

I called you recently, remember?

So it stayed in my brain.

Well...

were you sleeping? You sound groggy.

Look at the time.

It's a school night after all.

Right, sorry. I guess I woke you up.

Then go back to sleep.

I...

I'm wide awake now.

Do you have something to say, Ma'am?

You punk.

That is not nice, Ma'am.

Just speak casually.

- What do you mean? / - You may speak casually.

You keep going back and forth. You're confusing me.

Okay.

But you still better show me respect.

Having respect for your senior reporter

makes this society beautiful.

To celebrate my speaking casually to you,

I'll listen to you all night long.

About what?

Didn't you call because you needed someone to talk to?

Wow, you're pretty quick.

Are you outside?

Isn't it cold?

It is cold.

I lost my phone, so I'm even colder.

A phone isn't a hot pack or anything.

It was a hot pack to me. It was my mom's phone.

Ever since mom passed away,

it has been my heart's hot pack.

So it was your mother's.

No wonder.

I wondered why you use an antique.

On a cold day like this,

when my heart is cold,

I'd hold it tightly in my hand,

it would

really get warm.

If it gets hot without even making a call,

it means it's time to retire it.

You are so unromantic and unimaginative.

And you want to be a reporter?

It's cold. You should go home.

If I go home now,

my dad will ask me 175 questions.

I don't have the energy to deal with that.

You don't feel well?

Actually...

that is just an excuse.

I'm waiting for someone.

You're waiting?

I thought if I waited like this, I could see him.

That he'd appear like a ghost behind me.

But he isn't coming.

I'm sure

he has something to say to me.

He can't not say anything like this.

I'm...

ready to listen to him.

I have a lot to say too.

But he isn't coming.

I guess he won't come anymore.

Gosh. This is bad.

What a bad situation.

What are you talking about?

- Hey, Chibeom. / - What?

- You said Jeonghu's dad did something bad? / - Yes.

You said he killed his friend?

That's what people said.

If it is like what you said, that man he killed is

Chae Yeongsin's biological father.

After his mom left,

Jeonghu thought women

were like gum on the street. But he finally

started to look at a girl now, right?

But that girl is her?

Yes.

Chisu! Yeongsin is back!

- Chisu! / - Stop that.

- It's Yeongsin. / - Dad.

Do you know what time it is now?

And what happened to your phone?

Dad, it's a long story. Can't we talk inside?

Why don't you talk inside?

Do you know how many times the paper called for you?

And you brat.

Don't you think of your family worrying at home?

Don't you see her face is blue from the cold?

It's so cold. I'm going to freeze to death.

Freeze to death? Where do you think you're going?

- Yeongsin is freezing to death. / - Home. Where else?

Explain everything in detail so I can understand.

Come on, this isn't a courtroom.

- Yeongsin, go in. Quickly. / - Thank you, Mister.

Go in. Quickly.

I know you told me to get some sleep,

but I can't sleep unless I'm in my own bed in my room.

So I'm going home in order to obey your orders.

Don't worry. The end. Chae Yeongsin reporting.

Shoot.

Yoon Dongwon speaking.

I'm sorry to call at this hour. I'm Reporter Kim Munho.

Pardon?

Why would a reporter call... Kim Munho?

Are you free to talk?

Wow, his voice sounds exactly like on TV.

Why yes. It's an honor. Yes.

If we meet, may I get an autograph?

I have a junior reporter under me.

Her name is Chae Yeongsin.

She told me about you.

Do you remember her?

Chae Yeongsin... Right, from Someday.

Yes, of course I do. I saw her at Hwang Jeguk's house.

I wanted to send you the videos found in

Hwang Jeguk's house.

Videos?

They are of actresses in his agency

servicing various men.

It's related to a story we are investigating.

I see.

But there must have been some confusion.

I'm in the cybercrimes division.

So I deal with incidents occurring in cyberspace.

Another division handles sexual crimes.

The men in the videos hold very high positions.

I'm afraid they would be covered up

during an investigation.

I see.

But I'm an outcast too, so I don't have much power.

I obtained the videos by hiring

Healer, the night messenger.

Did you just say "Healer"?

I heard you've been chasing him for years.

Yes, many years.

I know who Healer will be hanging around.

Who?

Reporter Chae Yeongsin.

He received a request to protect her,

but the other side will probably hire him soon.

The people they hired lost to Healer recently.

Do you mean Hwang Jeguk's...

I'm sure there is more behind him.

So,

do you want Hwang Jeguk or Healer?

Once you start your investigation, I'd like copies of

what you find on Hwang Jeguk and those backing him.

And?

I want undercover detectives to stay near Yeongsin.

Didn't you want

to catch Healer?

That old geezer.

Come out. Now!

You old geezer. I know you're still here.

I need to talk to you, you old geezer!

Show your face while I'm being nice.

If I catch you hiding, you're a half dead man.

I have something to ask you, so come out here!

You're my master!

Since you're my master,

I have...

I have something to ask you.

I really don't know.

What am I supposed to do?

What should I do, Master?

I wish

you'd tell me.

Hello.

I'm sorry for just leaving yesterday.

I left a note...

I'm the one who should apologize.

Now that I saw your face, I can breathe again.

Pardon?

I sent someone to look,

but there was no phone in the elevator.

I see.

Thank you. You didn't have to.

Here.

It's a new phone.

No, I can get one...

It's company property, so be careful with it.

I see.

Thank you.

I thought about it all night.

What should I do with you?

I'll be more careful from now on.

There is only so much I can do to protect you.

So, if you would

tell me who is trying to hurt me and why, I'll...

I thought of two options.

First, I send you far away.

I could send you to study abroad in Europe.

That sounds like a line from a drama.

You are saying that so seriously.

Your jokes are so old.

I figured you'd react that way.

Then there's the second option.

- I make you very famous. / - Excuse me?

If you become respected and many people know of you,

they can't pull something like the elevator incident

because they won't be able to bury it quietly.

Your dream is to become a famous journalist anyway.

How did you...

Right. The background check.

Of course, becoming famous may put you in more danger.

I don't know, so you decide.

If you're scared, run away while you can. I'll help.

When will you tell me the reason?

The reason I'm in danger.

If I say it's because you're with me,

can you accept that much for now?

A famous reporter?

Yes.

I'll do it.

You lost nothing. No one saw a thief.

I don't know what you heard,

but didn't you see my guys outside?

It's ironclad security.

What thief could get in?

It looks like a frame used to be here.

What happened to the painting that was here?

I sold it. Happy?

I see, you sold it.

Then I'll pass on the thief story.

Next.

The women in these videos are

all within your agency, correct?

This is the least obscene one.

I skimmed through them and... oh my gosh.

I couldn't watch it all.

What is this?

What did these brats do and where is that?

I know, right? What did they do and where?

Let's look into it together.

On that note, you need to come to the station tomorrow.

I have many questions to ask you, especially about

these gentlemen of various positions and status.

It's good for curing a hangover. Try it.

Boss..

- That girl... / - I was wrong.

I should have asked your permission first.

I was wrong to decide on my own

to hurt the girl.

Since you say that, I don't know what to say.

- But... / - But?

You know, don't you?

Why I had to go so far

for such a young girl.

Are you worried about Munho?

Reporter Kim Munho has been

on my tail for over 10 years.

Even with Samhan Heavy Industries

which we worked on recently,

if we did anything, Kim Munho would be on top of us.

But the most he could do was

make a comment during a live show.

He is one reporter in all of Korea.

What could he do that you're concerned?

That is why

I wanted to bring him over to our side.

But he left the station and started

his own newspaper company?

You can't really call it a newspaper company.

That LA video you obtained last time...

He tried to intercept it, did he not?

If that had reached Kim Munho's hand,

what would have happened?

I was handling it.

I would not have made a mistake.

I know.

You're the best I have. You're one of a kind.

But why did I push Kim Uichan

instead of you for mayor?

Boss, I...

It was because of your weaknesses.

You have two very big weaknesses.

Your wife and your brother.

We can't add the girl as a third weakness.

I know my weaknesses well.

That is why I've never wanted more than

what you've given me.

But Boss,

my weaknesses are

fatal.

If I get hurt once, it is impossible to recover.

I will die.

I assume you won't have

any use for a dead soldier either.

I'll take care of my problems.

I'll do it myself.

And I'll decide how myself.

I earnestly

ask this of you, Sir.

Hello?

Let me talk to Boss.

- Who is this? / - I'm Hwang Jeguk.

I know I called the place where Boss is,

so get him on the phone while I'm being nice.

How did you get this number?

Exactly! I have enough connections to get this number,

and I'm in a bad spot right now.

If I'm caught,

I won't go down alone.

I have a big mouth, you know.

So I'll blab and blab.

I don't know whose names I'll blurt out.

The problem is, among those names are

many of Boss' people.

Do you know what I'm getting at?

So, get Boss on the phone before it's too late!

I understand.

I'll relay the message.

Please wait, and you'll hear from him.

Who was the man who brought the LA video,

and was killed?

It's Ko Seongcheol.

You said

you need his killer, correct?

Okay! Attention please.

Kim Uichan will hold a press conference at 4 p.m.

announcing his candidacy for mayor.

Simultaneously, Someday will premier "Someday News,"

an online news program.

The press conference will be included,

as well as the material that we have collected.

Yes?

Isn't it too strong to start off with Kim Uichan?

Maybe we should begin softly?

Like a warm up? A practice game, something like that?

Why must we start off with Kim Uichan...

- To sell. / - To sell?

Not because of our calling as reporters or anything,

but to sell?

The calling of reporters that no one watches

is useless.

If it's Kim Uichan, a lead candidate for Seoul mayor,

don't you think it will sell?

If it's something this big, I need to do my spy work.

Do it. Just do it on your way there. We have no time.

Jongsu, your mission is to

get a seat at the press conference.

The best spot to broadcast live.

Our screen quality will be horrible and

since we've never even practiced before,

it will be full of mistakes.

Check the connections. Unplug and plug them back in.

We don't even have a broadcast van, but let's do it.

If we don't try, we won't know where to improve.

We'll learn fighting skills not in a warm gym,

but in a cold open market with the wind blowing.

I was late looking for this.

Where...

The cameraman is here. They just left together.

Here.

Let's go.

- Where are we going? / - To become famous.

What?

Look into everyone around Chae Yeongsin.

Her colleagues' details

will be their human resources files.

Yes, address, work experience, things like that?

Get their heights, weights, and sizes as well.

And pictures. Don't forget pictures.

What are you talking about now?

What? What is it now?

- We have a problem. / - What problem?

Please tell us again. Everyone is here.

I can't go in.

What do you mean? Can't go in where?

They're only letting in reporters on the list.

Newspapers and stations not on the list

can't even go into the room, let alone ask questions.

A business card from Someday or Monday won't cut it.

What should we do?

How could they discriminate in this day and age of

freedom of the press?

Let me talk to the person in charge!

How dare they?

They'll only take and answer

questions they wrote themselves.

They'll prevent any questions about Joo Yeonhui?

Jongsu.

Turn the camera back. Back pan. Back pan.

Right there. Zoom in.

The son of DK's CEO Kim Segwang is

having his engagement party in the next room.

Do you know them?

They can't stop their guests that easily.

Right, it's my cell phone.

It's mine. It's new.

New phone...

How do I answer this?

You don't even know how to use it.

Hello?

Munho.

This is my first call on this phone.

It's a smart phone, so I didn't...

Excuse me?

Go undercover? Us?

Stop by where first?

So make them look so dignified and fancy

that no one could dare refuse them, is that it?

Okay.

That must be them now.

I have to go. I'm worked up now.

Hello.

Reporter Kim Munho sent you, correct?

Yes. He said to stop by on our way...

Hush!

Come.

- I think I should wait outside... / - Stay here.

Shall we begin?

Wait, but...

Where are you...

We're going undercover. This is my expertise.

Reporters must be able to

transform instantly into anything as necessary.

I know a lot about transforming too.

I've always done it on my own.

So I don't need... My goodness.

You scared me.

Bongsu.

Don't talk to me right now. I'm not in the mood.

- Why? You couldn't sleep? / - No, not at all.

Why not? Right, because I woke you up?

I had a lot on my mind.

Goodness, my little Bongsu knows how to think?

I thought a lot.

More than usual.

What did you think about?

Let's say I was looking for an excuse.

An excuse for what?

- Well... / - What?

An excuse to meet again.

To meet again? With who?

Wow. It's perfect.

My Lady.

Beautiful.

If we are ready, shall we go now?

Okay. Let's go.

You must do whatever it takes to ask your questions.

He just sent us a legitimate warning.

"Don't touch her."

I am Chae Yeongsin.

Will you please meet me?

My dad was a murderer.

And I am a thief.

Good job. You did better than I expected.
