Are you on your way to questioning?

I'll come and see you
afterward with questions.

I don't know about reporters.

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

As a wolf, not a puppy.

I'll bark...

properly.

Ki Ha-myeong?

Do you know what a reporter is now?

Yes.

I think I do.

Good.

Then come...

and bark properly at me.

I will respond to it.

Yes, I will.

MSC's reporter, Song Cha-ok,
showed up for questioning today

after charges of defamation
were filed against her.

Ms. Song has stated
that the report was ordered

by a shareholder of the station

and that she had been receiving
such orders for over ten years.

It is expected to cause a stir.

Ki Ha-myeong reports.

After Mr. An from Hangang Police
Division pressed charges against Ms. Song,

she was questioned
by the police for over three hours today.

Ms. Song had reported that Mr. An
who had visited the plant

the day before the fire

-was negligent...
-Hey.

All of that started because
of the charges you filed, right?

Yes.

Wow, Chan-su.

You are so impressive.

I apologize to Mr. An
who was hurt by my report

which wrongly raised suspicion on him.

Do you admit it was
an intentional false report?

Yes, I admit it.

I submitted all the facts
during the investigation.

She stated that the false report

was intended to help
the one responsible for the fire

avoid any punishment.

She stated that she submitted
to pressure and orders from above.

Also, she said that she couldn't oppose
the requests of MSC's largest shareholder,

Ms. Park Ro-sa,

and the highest official at the city desk
to manipulate the news for over ten years.

Every time the higher-up told me
to fabricate news reports,

I was ashamed, but I obeyed.

Since when did you receive such requests?

It began 14 years ago
with Mr. Ki Ho-sang's story.

Who do you mean by, "higher-up"?

Has Ms. Song lost her mind?

How could she kill her career like this
if she hasn't lost her mind?

This isn't about killing her career.
She's following her conscience.

It's been awhile since she looked
like a real reporter.

Mr. Lee.

And what is YGN doing?

Aren't they declaring war on us?

Do you see that as a declaration of war?

It's an advice to get our act together.

It's really embarrassing
to be a reporter at MSC.

Ms. Song stated that she was told to frame
the firefighter, Ki Ho-sang,

for recklessly endangering
the lives of his firefighters

to divert attention from an assemblyman

who had permitted illegal dumping
of chemical waste which caused the fire.

Ms. Song identified
MSC's largest shareholder,

Ms. Park Ro-sa,

and the highest official at the city desk

and submitted text messages
they had exchanged since 2000 as evidence.

Ms. Park Ro-sa denies the allegations

regarding the content
of those text messages.

Did you exchange text messages
with MSC's Song Cha-ok?

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

I never said it was a long time ago.

You don't remember these texts,

but you do remember
that they were from long ago.

Get rid of them.

Darn it.

Consequently, the police finds it
inevitable to question Ms. Park,

the chairwoman of a conglomerate
for ordering Mr. An's defamation report.

This case will likely affect

the financial and political circles
as well.

With YGN News, I am Ki Ha-myeong.

Mom, are you okay?

No, I'm not.

Go and tell that Ki Ha-myeong

to start off with the most
impactful portion first.

He uses such textbook methods
that his report is bland and boring.

He should have started
with Ms. Park's interview for impact.

What?

This is where it gets important.

Ms. Park will be calling in her legal team
to come up with a plan to get out of this.

Tell YGN to keep their eyes wide open

and keep a close eye on her.

What plan?

They will do their best to keep her
from being questioned.

Mr. Kim.

First, we need to prevent you
from going in for questioning.

I'll submit a statement that you are
on a business trip in Japan.

The chief of police

was under my jurisdiction
when I was a prosecutor,

so he'll cooperate.

Our general counsel

always turned my problems
into opportunities.

I'm trusting you again.

Don't worry.

You can take a few days off

and by the time you return,
everything will be taken care of.

I'll leave it in your hands.

Ms. Ko, I'll be...

Hello, Mr. Yoon.

Oh, you saw the news?

I guess the transfer notice
disappointed Ms. Song.

Yes, you don't need to worry.

Will you be at
the groundbreaking ceremony?

Good, I'll see you then.

Make the arrangements for me to stay
at the summer house in Cheongjong Village.

Yes.

Mr. Kim says Ms. Park will say she is away
on a business trip as an excuse

to avoid the questioning.

"As an excuse"?

-As in, she is going in hiding?
-Yes.

Mom says Ms. Park will most likely hide
in her summer house in Cheongjong Village.

A summer house in Cheongjong Village?

Yes.

When she was summoned
for accounting two years ago,

she was there while claiming
to be in the U.S. on business.

Are you sure? What is your source?

Ms. Song Cha-ok told me
through Choi In-ha.

Ms. Song told you?

Yes.

Ms. Song...

must want to make sure

Ms. Park is photographed
going in a police station for questioning.

Woo-chul.

I need you to go to Cheongjong Village.

Yes.

Ms. Park Ro-sa who had refused
the police's summons

on grounds of being abroad on business,

was seen in Korea today.

The police sent another summons
and stated that if she fails to appear,

they will issue an arrest warrant
next time

since she lied about being
out of the country.

With YGN News, I am Cha Woo-chul.

Things wouldn't have gotten this bad
if it weren't for YGN.

The police commissioner must have
complained to the chief of police.

Oh, so that is why this came again.

This came just because
of an one-minute segment on the news.

Connections from your time as a prosecutor
were pointless, right?

Hello, Mr. Koo.

Yes.

I thought you'd be concerned
if I went in for questioning,

so I tried to avoid it,

but I ended up embarrassing myself.

Of course, this is nothing.

I'll see you at
the groundbreaking ceremony.

Did you hear that? You heard, right?

What will our assemblymen think
if they see me on the news

going in for questioning?

The chief of police

sent his sincerest apologies
and said if you show up for questioning,

he will take care of it quietly.

He set it for Sunday morning
when there are no reporters.

If you go through the underground garage,

you can be questioned and leave quietly

without anyone knowing.

Why do things keep getting complicated?

Did someone put a hex on me or something?

If she appears for questioning,

she will be there on Sunday or a holiday
when there are no reporters.

It'll be in the middle of the night
or early morning.

So we'll camp out
at the front door all night.

These people never walk
through the front door.

They don't want to advertise
the questioning.

She will go through the underground garage
for sure, so...

5:03 A.M.

if you are to camp out, you have to do it
in the underground garage.

NO TRESPASSING

Okay.

She is here.

Did you manipulate the news
and frame an innocent officer

to hide a politician's corruption?

What happened? You said there wouldn't
be any reporters.

-No interviews. Stop filming!
-Move!

I have one question.

Do you admit that 14 years ago,

-you used Ki Ho-sang for the same purpose?
-Excuse me.

-Stop filming!
-Move!

Please give us a statement!

The assemblymen that you look after

must be concerned watching you
come in for questioning.

Do you have anything to say to them?

Shut it!

Ms. Park.

Do you deny the allegations?

Let go of the door! Now!

By now, Ms. Park will definitely try

to divert the public's attention.

-She's going to make a diversion?
-Yes.

She will try to bury it
with something bigger.

For example, something about a celebrity.

Since when did people watch so much news?

Did you check the search terms?

If you type in "Park Ro-sa",

the related term is "underground garage."

Why don't we divert
the public's attention?

There are too many eyes on you,

so it is too difficult to try
to pull anything right now.

So, what? What is there?

How about a habitual Propofol abuser?

"Propofol"?

That sounds good. Who is it?

It's FAMA, our department store's model
from last year.

The tabloids said recently
that he abuses Propofol regularly.

The PR team must have something on him.

That's good.

He just released an album,
and he is the lead in a new TV series.

It should draw attention.

The police found accusations

that the singer, FAMA is
habitually abusing Propofol,

so they will summon him tomorrow
for questioning.

FAMA's medical charts
from a hospital in Hangang District

and the testimony of hospital personnel

confirm that FAMA has received
over ten injections of Propofol

over the past two months.

No.

That can't be.

That's all rubbish!

Hey, you almost gave me a heart attack.

FULFILLING OUR DUTY AS THE POLICE

STOP THE WITCH HUNT

WE WILL PROTECT YOU

-FAMA!
-FAMA!

-FAMA!
-We missed you!

Move out of the way.

-FAMA.
-Move.

-Don't go.
-A statement, please.

-How are you feeling?
-How many times did you take it?

-FAMA!
-Oh my gosh.

-FAMA, a statement, please.
-I will protect you.

-What do I do?
-FAMA!

-We love you FAMA.
-Move!

HANGANG POLICE STATION

As a public figure,
I apologize for causing concern.

Do you admit
to habitually abusing Propofol?

I did not abuse it.

I used it as prescribed by my doctor.

I trust you!

Yu-rae, are you insane?

Please say something before you go in!

I'll prove my innocence
during the investigation.

-Are you pleading innocent?
-Are you denying your guilt?

-When did you begin using Propofol?
-Do you deny everything?

-Are you admitting?
-Please, wait here.

-FAMA!
-Are you denying the accusation?

-Do you deny everything?
-When did you start using Propofol?

-Look over here!
-FAMA!

-FAMA.
-Here!

FAMA!

I know you would never do that!

I'll prove your innocence. Trust me, FAMA.

She is helpless.

I'll protect him.

-He's coming.
-He's coming. Back off.

-FAMA!
-Step back.

The police announced that they dropped
all charges of Propofol abuse

against the popular singer, FAMA.

I've explained everything to the police.

Thank you for your support.

The police states that FAMA

has been suffering from fatigue
and gastroenteric problems

caused by his busy schedule
with his new album and drama,

and had been prescribed Propofol.

It was administered once each
for an endoscopy and colonoscopy.

And another two times for gastro spasms.

It was four times in two months.

There was no usage before and after then.

FAMA has been cleared
of all the wrongful charges

and said he will work even harder
at creating good music.

YGN News, I am Yoon Yu-rae.

These stories usually
stick around for a few days,

but YGN was just too quick,

so, it wasn't enough to be a diversion.

I'm sure.

Our general counsel is so good at his job
and is well-connected.

The reporters just happened
to be in the underground garage,

and the tabloids must have been wrong.

Because both of you do such good jobs!

Hello, Mr. Cho.

Not at all.

Yes.

I know this is a sensitive time for you.

You don't need to worry.
Consider it just as a passing wind.

You remember the date
of the groundbreaking ceremony, right?

We'll proceed as planned.

Then,

I'll see you on that day.

Let me hear it.

What should we do next?

Ms. Park, defamation is considered as
no punishment against will.

If the victim does not press charges,

they cannot punish you.

So what?

Do you want me to go to Mr. An and beg?

I mean, it wouldn't be begging.

Wouldn't it be better
to clear up the misunderstanding?

If we can come to a settlement
with him quietly

before things get worse...

Ms. Park will now change direction

to win over Mr. An.

"Win him over"?

Is it because defamation is considered
as no punishment against will?

That's right.

If Mr. An drops the charges,
they can't punish Ms. Park.

If that happens, this case is over.

Ms. Park will try to win over Mr. An
with quite good offers.

If he falls for them,
everything will be lost.

Do you think your friend, Mr. An,

will be won over by her bribes?

No.

I'm not sure. He has three kids.

Hey.

Even if I have three kids,
I'm a proud police officer of Korea.

I won't be bought off. I won't settle.

I knew it. I believed in you.

I doubted you a little. Just a little.

Fine, I doubted you a lot.

I'm sorry.

You worried he would be
won over too, right?

No, not at all.

Hey!

Don't worry.

I started this fight because of you,
Ha-myeong.

I felt bad for starting
that rumor in high school,

and I was thankful you saved me.

I started because you asked,
and I'll only stop when you say so.

I know what this fight means to you.

I bet on my conscience
to see this through.

Thanks, Chan-su.

If you're grateful, bring a gift
to our house-warming this weekend.

"A house-warming"?

I thought you moved in three years ago,

so why are you having a house-warming?

We moved three years ago,
but we just reconnected with you.

Come with a light heart
and a heavy hand, got it?

A party for your third child

and a house-warming
that's three years late?

You have no conscience.

You try having three kids.
Conscience is a luxury.

But you just gave me your word
on your conscience.

That's my integrity.

Integrity and conscience are different,
so don't worry.

We're back.

You're here. Wash up and let's eat.

What were you doing in there?

I went to Jae-myeong's house
and brought over some of your clothes.

Just so you know, I put them
in the dresser, so put them on. Okay?

Even if it was only at home,

I couldn't bear to see you
looking like a fool in my clothes.

I could have gone there myself.

Why can't you fit just any old clothes?

You're wastefully tall.

He is right.

You are unnecessarily long.

Will Chan-su be okay?

Why? Are you nervous?

No, but Ms. Park will most likely
make a massive offer.

If Chan-su settles with her,
it's all over for us.

Don't worry. He'll never sell out.

And Mr. Jang said he would stick to him,
so don't worry.

That's good. Wash up then.

Okay.

Right, call me when you need to shave...

Hey. Your right arm...

What? Is it all right now?

What on earth?

Why did you pretend
your arm hadn't healed?

I wasn't pretending.

It isn't completely healed yet.

Why?

Is it because we'd tell you to go home
once it's healed?

No, but...

This house is the best, isn't it?

You don't need to eat
rubbery fried eggs here,

and you can see grandpa and dad every day,

and you can see me too. Right?

Can't you move back in?

Does Jae-myeong
still bother you that much?

No.

Then move back in.

I'm worried about
that ridiculous breakfast.

-Come out and eat.
-Okay.

Let's go.

And throw this out.

What is this?

Oh, my.

Ms. Park wishes to clear up
the misunderstanding.

Take them back.

By "misunderstanding," doesn't she
refuse to admit it?

First of all, we need to clear up
the misunderstanding...

Hey, you...

-How much is in here?
-How much is it?

What? Aren't they Ms. Park's people?

I think so! Look!

Did you come to ask him to settle?

What is all this?
What is in that envelope?

I don't need an envelope of money
or a settlement.

I'm a proud police officer of Korea.

Tell this to Ms. Park.

I, An Chan-su, don't need any of this.

Would you like to say something?

Anything?

He said that he doesn't need any of it,

so you should admit your wrongdoing
and apologize to him in person.

-And?
-That...

is all.

Oh, so is that all?

So I just have to go
and apologize, correct?

I should have gone myself.
I did a horrible thing.

So? Should I get on my knees and beg?

Like this? Beg like this?

-Ms. Park.
-Should I?

I don't think there is any other option.

I think you should cooperate
with the investigation

and look for another way--

Hey, listen.

Do I not pay you enough money?

Do I?

If you need more money,
tell me instead of slacking off!

Ms. Park, if you would bow down briefly
while we think of a way--

"Bow down briefly"? To who?

To that police officer?

That would be admitting to the defamation

and to those connections.

All the assemblymen
will be tied together and exposed,

and the Prosecutors' Office
will begin investigating!

Do you think bowing down briefly
will end this mess?

Do you?

Let's do it my way now.

Excuse me?

You need to be tough...

for them to respond nicely.

Let's make it easy.

We've tried to be nice.

Let's look for a different way.

You know what I mean, don't you?

Mother.

Please...

stop.

NOTICE

THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE OPENED
REGARDING MS. SONG

So, they plan to put an end to her.

Poor Ms. Song.
Is this how it ends for her?

Isn't it only natural?

Because of her, we lost credibility,
and MSC's status has plummeted.

Of course, she would be fired
after causing this mess.

You're repulsive.

You're just so very repulsive.

Are we supposed to just sit back
and watch this happen?

REVIEW DEPARTMENT

What?

No, I just...

I've never seen you sleep
at the office before.

You're right, it is a first.

You're not sick, are you?

I'm just sleepy.

I haven't slept properly for 15 years
because of insomnia.

I guess all the lack of sleep...

is hitting me all at once now.

I saw the personnel committee notice.

Yes, so did I.

It isn't surprising.
Actually, it's a bit late.

I'm sleepy, so please be quiet.

Okay.

I'll sleep five more minutes,
so stay right there.

The sun is hot.

Yes, Mom.

REPORTERS' ROOM

INVESTIGATION DIVISION

There you were.

-Why? Were you looking for me?
-Yes.

I heard.

Your mom got called into
the personnel committee.

Word spread that far already?

Yes.

Are you okay?

She's handling well.
Rather, she seems at peace.

Not her, you.

Me?

I'm living comfortably compared to my mom.

Other than the new captain
hating me, I'm fine.

If I complain about that,
I would feel even guiltier for my mom.

I realized hiding that you're struggling
because you feel guilty

is foolish.

No, I'm really fine.

I guess not.

See?

I should have hugged you back then too.

I know you said not to worry,
comfort you or do anything.

But I should have hugged you.

This is so comforting.

Don't forget the house-warming today.

Come with a light heart and a heavy hand.

Bring Ms. Yoon too.

Yu-rae, you're going to
Chan-su's house-warming, right?

Yes, why?

Let's meet up with In-ha later
and go together.

Why? Why should I go with you?

Why should I go with someone
who has a girlfriend?

Are you upset at me about something?

Yes, you mean nothing to me.

I dislike you more and more.

Fine. So you're going alone?

No, I'm not going alone.

Woo-chul, do you want to go
to Mr. An's house-warming later?

I'm busy.

Mr. Hwang, do you want to go
to Mr. An's house-warming later?

-Okay.
-What?

You're okay with what?

You said we're going to a house-warming.

I'll go.

What's gotten into him? Why is he going?

He is going because you asked.

Yes, so why?

I want to ask you. Why did you invite him
out of the blue?

I didn't think he would say yes.

What? Why did your captain come?

That's what I would like to know.
Why did he come?

How much did Ms. Park
offer as a settlement?

The envelope looked like
it could pay the rent

and our kids' English classes.

Thanks for resisting
such a big temptation.

Sure, but for someone who is so grateful,

isn't your gift a little too modest?

Yes.

But then again,
some people didn't even bring a gift.

The next step is threats.

Record all of your calls
with Ms. Park's people,

and if anything sounds
remotely threatening,

you have to let us know, okay?

Yes, I got it.

Leave the japchae and remove the ribs
when you get a chance.

Okay.

Hey, I thought you said
your captain was super cool?

I know.

He is embarrassing me
in so many ways today.

-Jun-gyu, look here.
-Smile.

What do you think?
Don't I look super pretty?

Wow, you look like
a different person, ma'am.

Hey, what do you mean, "ma'am"?

Oh, my, your family looks so happy.

I know, right?
How is that possible at our age?

This is how you take your selfie.

You can do it too. Look here.

-Oh, is that so?
-Oh, is that so?

Do you want to see something
completely shocking?

Ji-hui, turn it on.

It's the second week of...

-What is it?
-Was it like nine years ago?

When I went on a quiz show--

Why are you turning that on? Turn it off!

-Turn it off!
-Don't!

Seriously!

Let's turn to the screen.

-I'm here to stop An Chan-su
-Turn it off!

-from getting his second win.
-What?

I produced that show.

-Wow, it's Dal-po.
-Shoot!

The highest-ranked student
versus his 34th-ranked classmate.

The close-match!

-Darn it. This is...
-The battle begins now.

Turn it off, In-ha.

-Look at that.
-It's Dal-po!

Oh, my gosh, that hair...

I am not a brainiac.

Ha-myeong, you're nothing
without your hair, right?

I heard you're 34th-ranked in your school.
That's good enough for you to be called...

-Fine, tease me all you want.
-But there are 34 students...

Chan-su, send that to me
so I can watch it when I'm down.

-Dal-po, should we just post it online?
-If there are...

I'm the lowest-ranked student in school.

My nickname is All Zeros

because I get zero for everything.

You're out of drinks, right?

I'll get some more beer.

All right, Dal-po.

You must answer five questions correctly

in order to bring the champion
from over there...

Beom-jo.

Hey.

Why are you just leaving?
Didn't you come to see Chan-su?

Yes, but I didn't know
you guys would be here.

We're here for their house-warming.

Do you want me to get him?

No.

I came to ask him to forgive my mother,

but there is nothing I can do.

Mother will never back down.

She won't change her mind,
and she will never repent.

But I don't have...

the courage to turn in my family like you.

I think I understand
why In-ha felt guilty toward you.

Don't be.

I'm not going to tell you
to turn in your own mother...

because I know how painful that is.

And I've let go of revenge and resentment

long ago.

Are you saying that
to make me feel better?

No, I'm not.

Beom-jo.

I like you.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

You're being gross.

I like In-ha even more.

I like her so much
that every second I'm with her

is precious.

Why are you telling me that?

I let go because
each of those seconds is so precious.

I wanted to forget things like
revenge and resentment,

and just tell the world as a reporter

what's good and what's bad.

I don't want anything
more than reporting properly to the world.

I'm sorry, Jae-myeong.

I used the word, "forgive"
too easily, didn't I?

Not easily...

but you are just amazing.

I'm not amazing.

I was blinded by things
like revenge and resentment,

so I couldn't see what I should have.

I kept reporting based on
conclusions I had made

without looking at people's lives.

Making those mistakes scared me.

I was afraid I could become
like Song Cha-ok.

Hey, that isn't right.

I know that isn't right.

Whether it's forgiveness or whatever,
do what you want.

You don't need my consent.

I've hurt people.

I have no right...

to resent or forgive another person.

Jae-myeong.

Don't lose...

that right.

Okay.

"The Beomjo Mall in Yeonju
that we are breaking ground for

is a business that we at Beomjo
had worked on for over ten years.

It will be the largest in..."

What did you get in return
for doing all these favors for them?

Everything you've enjoyed until now.

And everything you will enjoy from now on.

"It will create more than
5,000 jobs directly

and more than 15,000 jobs indirectly..."

What are you doing?

This is my speech for the ceremony.

It looks bad if I read from one of these.

Why didn't I know...

how wearisome your life was.

And that I was living in luxury
thanks to that.

I had no idea.

You don't need to know.

You can just...

continue to live in luxury.

I'm sorry...

Mother.

Isn't he cute?

He has three kids at your age?

That's absurd.

It's less absurd than still being single
at the age of 40.

Isn't Mr. Hwang kind of cute?

Is it because I edited it?

Hey.

Doesn't this look like Mr. Hwang is
looking at you?

What? You're right.

He's looking at me.

Look, this too.

Look.

-Isn't that strange?
-Yes.

It is strange.

I think Mr. Hwang is strange.

Yes? "Mr. Hwang is strange"?

No, that's not what I meant...

You can mean it.

I really think...

you are meant to take
the nitpicker's path like me.

No.

No, I'm not.

Did you see him twirling away?

SEOUL HANGANG PRISON

Who are you?

I'm Seo Beom-jo, the son of Park Ro-sa,
the chairwoman of Beomjo Department Store.

What brings you...

I came to relay the message...

that you're doing well
and not to worry about what was promised.

Okay.

Beom-jo was at Chan-su's house?

Then, why didn't he come in?

He just left.

He wanted to beg for forgiveness,
but he couldn't do anything.

"Forgiveness"?

I thought Beom-jo
had taken his mother's side.

He's just pretending.

Really?

I didn't even know and misunderstood him.

He didn't tell you
in case you would worry.

It must have been hard for Beom-jo.

Yes.

NITPICKER

Hello? Hangang District's Ki Ha-myeong.

You're covering the Yeonju
Beomjo Mall's groundbreaking, right?

Yes, Mr. Jang.

All of Ms. Park's assemblymen
will probably be present.

Did you check the list?

Yes.

I checked the list
from the business department,

and many of the assemblymen
were in the mobile phone history.

That's good.

I'm sure they won't give us an interview,

but stick with them
and at least get videos of them refusing.

-Got it?
-Yes, Mr. Jang.

-Did you see the groundbreaking brochure?
-Yes, Mr. Lee.

It will be the largest mall in Korea

and revive the economy of Yeonju City,

and it is expected to attract
many Chinese tourists.

Focus on those.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Your talent is being wasted.

Why don't you leave MSC city desk

and just go into public relations?

That seems to be your calling.

Stress both direct
and indirect creation of jobs.

Yes, Mr. Lee.

-Are you covering the ceremony, too?
-Yes, pretty much for PR.

Does that make sense?

What if you hiccup
while doing your report?

I probably will.
It's a complete diversionary report.

I'm reporting the same event
at the same place as you,

but it is just so different.

Should I just quit?

You said you would stick it out
and make changes.

I want to, but I don't see any hope.

All of my ideas are rejected,
and I'm sent to do PR.

Is it really what a reporter is?
Is it worth enduring this?

Yes.

Don't answer so quickly.

It hurts.

I want to report something real too.

Something real.

Eat. You need to eat to survive.

Thanks.

Hey, whoever invented this
should win the Nobel Prize.

You've really never had one before?

INVESTIGATION DIVISION

Beom-jo.

Wow, In-ha.

It feels like it's been ages, doesn't it?

Yes.

You look good. I was worried.

I don't just look good. I look hot.

You're so silly. So, what brings you here?

I had business to tend to.

I'm going to cover Beomjo Mall's
groundbreaking ceremony.

Aren't you going?

No.

Good. I can just ask you.

What is it?

If you get to interview my mother
at the groundbreaking ceremony...

could you relay a message for me?

What message?

Mr. Jung, please give me something.

Please?

You know I would tell you
if I had anything to share.

But I really have nothing today.

Come on, I know you're hiding something.

Come on.

Please? Just one.

Hey, Mr. Seo.

What? Beom-jo.

I thought you quit being a reporter.
Why are you here?

What's up with you?
I haven't heard from you for so long.

Are you back at work now?

No.

I came to speak to Mr. Jung.

Me?

What could you have to speak to me about?

I came to turn myself in.

-Turn yourself in?
-Turn yourself in? For what?

Do you remember the attacks
on the stations not long ago?

Of course. The Cho Dae-guk case.

I am the one...

who hired him.

-What?
-What?

No way.

Awesome. Totally awesome.

Has he lost his mind?

Seo Beom-jo, the son of Ms. Park,

who used to be a reporter at MSC
until recently...

said he hired Cho Dae-guk
to attack the stations.

He came to the police station
and has turned himself in.

Why did you use Cho Dae-guk?

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

It wasn't hard finding someone

who hated the three of them.

You know,

being a reporter means bearing grudges.

What did you offer him in return?

So, what did he offer Dae-guk?

He told him that he would be out in
two years since it is his first offense.

He guaranteed him a job
for the rest of his life

if he thinks of it as going to college
and serve the sentence.

He said it was probably
too difficult to refuse

since he failed to get into college
for two years.

This doesn't make any sense.

Did you confirm with Cho Dae-guk too?

Yes. I couldn't believe it either
so I checked with the team leader,

and he said, according
to the prison warden,

Seo Beom-jo and Cho Dae-guk

definitely met.

Wow, nice timing. Isn't it?

He unloads this on the day
of his mother's groundbreaking?

Mr. Jang, should we accept this
as him turning himself in?

BJ SQUARE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY
IN YEONJU CITY

BJ SQUARE IN YEONJU CITY

What? I'm headed to the groundbreaking.

What do you mean?

Ms. Park's son was arrested
for attempted murder?

There are so many eyes on her as it is.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

I'm not going to the ceremony.
Turn the car around.

Sir, the Hangang Police Station
chief of police is on the line.

He said Ms. Park's son
confessed to attempted murder.

What?

What's going on?

Don't mess up like last time.

What's going on?

I thought the assemblymen
were all coming today.

Why is it so empty?

I don't know.
They should have arrived a while ago.

What is it?
Why aren't the assemblymen here?

Call them. Quickly.

Excuse me, Ms. Park.

Ms. Park, are you okay?

I need to...

Over here! Quickly!

Are you okay, Ms. Park?

What's going on?

Did something happen?

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

What? Beom-jo turned himself in?

What do you mean, he turned himself in?

Yes, sir.

-What? He turned himself in?
-Attempted murder?

That attack?
Ms. Park's son orchestrated the attack?

-Interview with Ms. Park?
-Seo Beom-jo?

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

-Beom-jo, why you...
-What? What is it?

He turned himself in
for planning the attack on us.

-What?
-The person you are trying to reach...

He isn't picking up.

I think he went in
to cover for his mother.

But why?

Good. I can just ask you.

If you get to interview my mother
at the groundbreaking ceremony...

could you relay a message for me?

-It couldn't be...
-What is it?

I saw Beom-jo earlier,

and he asked me for a strange favor.

"A favor"? What favor?

Do you admit to everything?

He asked me to relay a message to Ms. Park

if I got to interview her.

Do you know that your son
turned himself in?

Did your son act on his own?

Do you know why your son
attacked the reporters?

Why do you think your son
resorted to such an attack?

Did you have any idea this was going on?

Clear the way.

-Clear the way.
-No interviews.

Ms. Park!

Your son asked me
to relay a message to you.

May I relay the message?

Beom-jo?

Did you interview Beom-jo?

If you get to interview my mother
at the groundbreaking ceremony...

could you relay a message for me?

What is it?

Tell her that I will share
the responsibility

for all the things I've enjoyed
and for all the things...

I'll enjoy from now on.

Beom-jo said...

he will share the responsibility with you
for all the things he has enjoyed

and for all the things
he'll enjoy from now on.

What does that mean?

Does that mean Ms. Park was in on it?

And that I'm sorry
for leaving her alone all this time.

He said that he is sorry
for leaving you alone all this time.

That from now on...

I'll always stand with her.

Please tell her that for me.

That from now on,
he'll always stand with you.

He asked me to tell you that.

So, she was an accomplice.

That means Ms. Park was in on it.

Is that really what happened?

She's a Pinocchio, so she can't lie.
It's the truth.

Where is Beom-jo right now?

He is at Hangang Police Station.

Clear the way!

-Clear the way!
-No interviews. Clear the way!

I think Beom-jo
really wanted to relay that message...

but this interview probably
won't be aired on MSC, right?

Probably not.

She must have interviewed her son.

It sounded like she was an accomplice.

If that is true, it's attempted murder.

Do you remember
the attacks on the reporters?

She went to Hangang Police Station.
We'll head there now.

But everyone else recorded it,
so it will be aired.

Don't worry.

That's a relief.

SEO BEOM-JO

Hey, you punk. What did you just do?

Lower your voice. I can hear you.

-Why weren't you picking up?
-I was in questioning.

I'm heading toward the holding cell soon.

I think this will be my last call.

Tell them it isn't true.

I know why you did that,

but this isn't right.

Then, keep it to yourself.

This is the only way.

Beom-jo!

Why couldn't you have said...

that you resent her...

that you hate her?

You should have said that.

If you had...

I would have turned a blind eye
and stuck it out.

I don't have much of a reason.

I just want to tell the world...

what's good and what's bad...

in my own way.

I'm doing this because
I want to tell the world.

Beom-jo.

I was a reporter too...

for a short while.

Why should you go so far?

Why...

I told you before.

I'm on your side.

I mean, I'm willing...

to do this much for you.

Do you believe me now?

I always believed you, you idiot.
