CJ ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS

A WATERMELON PICTURES PRODUCTION

There are some things you can never forget

While all memories fade with the passage of time,

one thing remains as clear as yesterday

The first time I laid eyes on Mi-jin

I could never forget the day

The first time he saw her

was at Zeus Entertainment audition

Hi, my name is Choi Mi-jin

I'm 19 years old, a senior at Hanlim High

The truth of the fact is that he felt it right away

Mi-jin made her audition

and that sealed their fate

Good... next!

Can I do another shot with a different expression?

Is there something you want to do?

Everyone's just doing smile pictures

Go on, do whatever you want

Let's give it another shot

What have you done?

What?

We got a callback for Mi-jin, not Eun-bi!

I gave them Mi-jin's portfolio when I dropped off Eun-bi's

Was that so terrible?

Man, you've grown some balls

I read the script a few times over

The part isn't right for Eun-bi visually nor emotionally

She's just fake

This part is made for Mi-jin

Give her a chance

Get out of my face Don't bother coming back

Oh, come on

I said get out

Are you out of your fucking mind? Let me go

Alright, I'm out of here

I've got nothing to learn from this shit hole

As managers, you gotta know if your actors can act or not

That was the turning point

What are you doing here?

Can't you see? I'm working

I heard you got fired because of me Why'd you do it?

Where did you get the idea? I quit

There was nothing to learn from those scumbags

So, you'll be doing this instead?

What's wrong with that?

Mi-jin, please prove them

that I was right about you all along

You do it

What?

You go prove them that you've been right about me

Kid, the world doesn't roll that way

You gotta bite the bullet Make them notice you

You said there's nothing to learn from them

Still...

How can I make you a star without even as much as a bike?

You want to ride buses with me to auditions?

You'll be in for a rough ride

Hey

I don't mind a rough ride

I don't need much other than occasional coffee

I'll give it my best So, please be my manager

Are you sure about this?

What's that?

It's your advance It's all I can give you

You still want to go with me?

From that day on, Woo-gon gave blood, sweat and tears for her

He went around knocking doors at every TV station,

production house and advertising agency

You won 't be disappointed

if she gets a small part, he had to beg for free hair and makeup

pull strings for free wardrobe

In the meanwhile,

he borrowed expensive cars from friends to drive her around in style

All the effort started to pay off

As she began to gain recognition, she got bigger parts

even shot a few commercials, too

Yes, Director

Yes

Pardon me?

We can't park here

Get out for a second

What is it?

Let's nail this one Show the world!

Yes

Because we're coming to get you!

Because they started together from the rock bottom

They had a special bond

unlike any other actor and manager

Then, it all happened when things finally started to fly

When they thought they had the world at their feet

They probably never even dreamt what was coming their way

all from a word from our mouths

The information contained herein is strictly confidential

held liable for distributing it to an unauthorized third party

Tabloid TRUTH

Man, you've come a long way

from days of drinking cheap instant coffee

That stuff is no longer allowed in here Mi-jin's on a diet

Besides, espresso is the real coffee

Don't you think you're a little too far ahead of yourself?

This office and the luxury van

You even bought her a condo?

It's all part of the investment

She's really taking off

I gotta make sure that she does it in style

Well, share the good fortune Give me a story

You've got all the good juice from this town

Anything that Tabloid Truth 2014 drive the internet wild?

We'll see about that

For old time's sake

Who wrote even a one-Liner for you

when she was absolutely nobody

Alright, alright

Why don't you write a feature on Mi-jin?

And I'll give you a real juicy gossip

Oh yeah?

There is nothing I won't do for Mi-jin

Hello, Director!

I was just about to call

Did you have lunch?

Pardon me?

What?

Mi-jin and Congressman Nam?

What are you talking about?

There he is Mr. Congressman!

Any comment?

It's an utterly unfounded rumor

Where do you think it's coming from?

Mr. Congressman!

I don't like this any more than you do

but it's not my call and you know that

We haven't signed anything

We won't be renewing the contract

Let's discuss it again later

Maybe next time

A 'tipsheet' about Mi-jin is all over the net

- What 'tipsheet'? - And you call yourself her manager?

It's just a pathetic attempt at hurting her reputation

by some jealous losers

You don't mess with a three-time elected congressman for fun

- Then, who did this? - How would I know that?

Let me handle this

I'll sort this out no matter what

Do it fast or she's out

Director

I will take care of it

Damn it

This is it what they call tipsheet

It's an exclusive, subscription-only email newsletter

designed for those in public relation, stock market and politics sectors

A sugar daddy?

They can't say that about her! Not after all our hard work

Who the hell makes this shit up?

That's not the problem

It's spreading fast on the internet

No... no, no! We've got to stop this

Write an article defending her position

A single article will just get buried

Then, tell me what to do!

Damn it!

Why are you waiting outside?

Did you see it?

You've got nothing to worry about

It's all over the net

What am I gonna do? I'm scared

There's nothing to be scared of

I'll take care of it

By tomorrow, it'll be yesterday's story

You just need to focus on your new TV series

Nothing's changed, okay?

Mi-jin

What I know is the same as what you know, right?

What do you know?

That the rumor about the congressman is a groundless lie

You don't believe me like everyone else

Don't be silly

Whatever everyone else says, I believe what you tell me

But you can't hold back anything from me

That's all I'm saying

It is a groundless rumor

Thank god...

I'm your manager I'll protect you

I arranged a press conference tomorrow

I'll have someone pick you up

Don't think about this and get some rest

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Woo-gon

Drive safely

Okay

Go inside

What's going on?

Is this everyone?

Bae Yeong-hun is announcing a surprise wedding

I told you this wouldn't work

Are you on your way here with Mi-jin?

Drive her back home I'll explain it to her later

Don't ask me why

Just do as I say, damn it!

Mi-jin, it's me

Why didn't you answer my calls?

I brought some fried chicken

482 calories is an hour's run on tread mill

but let's forget about that I won't tell your trainer

Mi-jin?

Are you asleep, goddess?

Can I come in?

I'm coming in

Mi-jin

Choi Mi-jin

Are you in the shower?

I thought about it

It's best not to bother with press conference

No need to stir things up when it'll die out eventually

So, I called it off

Let's take a few days off and go to Jeju Island

You know what? Let's go to Hawaii

You've never been to Hawaii, have you?

We'll eat good food, see the ocean and forget everything

Mi-jin?

Congressman

Choi Mi-jin died

Choi Mi-jin, a rising star in television and film,

committed suicide last night at her home

She is reported to have been under severe distress

about her rumors spreading online

Congressman Nam expressed condolences in a statement

and urged for eradication of the so-called tipsheet

Jeez! You scared me

Who publishes these tip sheets?

Even the police don't know much about them

Or they just turn a blind eye, I don't know

But whoever subscribes to it must know

Who forwarded it to you?

I got it from another reporter He doesn't have subscription either

He gets it from someone else

How can you buy subscription?

They operate on strictly need-to-know basis

You can't just get in touch with them

You know... whoever did this

spread the rumor with a malicious intention

I gotta track them down and find out the truth

She was more than just a client to me

She stuck by me all this time

because I discovered her

I can't just let this go

Why isn't he here?

Maybe he knows that I'm not a journalist

Don't be silly

Nobody has it written on their forehead that they're journalists

Give him a few more minutes

He's not here He didn't show

I guess I'll have to find another way

Is he real, anyway?

A real tipsheet publisher?

Then why didn't he show?

Mr. Kim Nam-su?

That's me

Sorry about that

We have to take extra caution just to be sure

Of course

You sound different in person than on the phone

I have a cold

Write down your email and phone number

You've seen our tips, haven't you?

A few times

We're one of the fastest people in the market

You know Choi Mi-jin who died recently?

We were the first to write about her scandal

The first writers?

It was our scoop, if you like

Subscription is $500 per month

When you open the email, it'll ask for a pass code

The pass code will be sent to your phone

Are you following?

Sorry?

Yes

Any questions?

No, I'm fine

KIM Nam-su

Hey, Woo-gon...

I'm in the middle of something I'll call you back

You're not Kim Nam-su, are you?

Sorry?

Damn it!

Hey!

Open the door

You bastard!

Open the door

Hey!

He was bogus

He lied about who he was

I don't know, man

Alright

SORA, the girlband was seen at a club in Gangnam...

Those born in 1 962, beware of unexpected stress factor?

Did you look into it?

So, who was he?

Why don't you ask yourself?

What?

Who the hell are you people?

Tell me

Who are you?

This is the tipsheet?

Move another step and I'll kill you all

You there! I said don't move

I don't care if you're a woman

Who the hell are you?

Someone who's screwed over because of you, son of a bitch!

Shall I call the police?

The police? Are you kidding me?

Who said that Choi Mi-jin slept with the congressman?

Choi Mi-jin and Congressman Nam?

What about that?

I'm Mi-jin's manager, that's what!

Is that what this is about?

Was it you?

Did you make up that garbage?

Boss

Don't come any closer

Don't you take another step

We can talk this out

Talk?

Do you enjoy murdering people with your damn words?

Why Mi-jin? Why her?

How would I know? I just write what I'm told

They bake the cake upstairs I'm just a delivery boy

Upstairs? Tell me who it was

Or I'll make you talk

Do something, you moron

He is not someone to mess with Walk away now

Fuck you! I'm not going anywhere until I know who's responsible

What's the point in cutting off the tongue? Who you want is the head

But you'll never get to the head Okay?

Is that right?

I'll just set us all on fire

Is that what you want? Or start talking!

Come on, boss

You bastard!

Man, I have to cover his hospital bills

So you wanna find out who spread the rumor

about Choi Mi-jin and the congressman?

Who the hell was that?

Have you heard of something called 'info meetings'?

What's that?

In this modern society, the race to get to valuable information

is a matter of life and death

So, most organizations keep a group of designated personnel

called the 'info people '

What they do is to collect information

but because there is a limit to gathering information alone

the 'info men ' get together regularly to exchange information

That meeting is called 'info meeting'

You know, Congressman Kim Byeong-ho...

Exchanging secret information that's only privy to one's serif,

something's bound to come up that's useful to you

Big corporations want to know who wants to shake their trees

Potential threats to their top management

or risk tasking and so on

The parliament always like to hear shits about their enemies

There are dozens of these secret info meetings in operation

You listen to them talk Some things will overlap

That give it credibility

We collect those pieces of information

and that becomes tipsheet?

Bingo

Then, I'll just talk to them

find out who started the rumor about Mi-jin

How's it going?

I have a question

What did he say?

The source was Congressman Nam's aide

His aide?

His name is Han Seong-ho Can I go now?

Han did work as Congressman Nam's aide

He left right after what happened to Mi-jin

Does that mean

that the rumor was true?

95% of what's on these tip sheets is supposed to be false

There was nothing between them Mi-jin said so

Now what?

I gotta find that aide and ask why he spread the rumor

Look him up

Han Seong-ho... Han Seong-ho

Gotcha!

Mr. Han?

I'm from courier service

Are you home? I'm outside your building

Come and collect it from 703

What?

Hey!

Father

you sacrificed the innocent lamb for our sins

yet, we acted selfishly when it was our turn to give back

Who is it?

Courier service

Please forgive our laziness

Brothers! Help me!

Brothers!

Help

Do you know Choi Mi-jin?

Sorry?

I'm Mi-jin's manager

She died because of you

I'm sorry! Please!

I never expected it to happen

I only did as I was told I spread the rumor

in exchange for a job

From who?

His name is Jo Woo-chan

Who's that?

He's with the Office of Policy Development

The Executive Office? Don't fuck with me

I'm telling the truth!

He told me to say it at the aides' info meeting

Then, they'll believe it because it came from me

Are you okay, Mr. Han?

- You sure? - Yes!

- Give me his phone number - Pardon?

- Now! You son of a bitch - Yes, sir

You'll keep this a secret from him, right?

Please

Brother Han!

Are you okay?

Forget it! You're talking about the Executive Office

Whoever it is, I'm prepared

Mi-jin had to die because of the false rumor they started

You got proof? Libel is a serious crime

If they were after the congressman, why hurt Mi-jin?

They use the rumors to play their game

Innocent bystanders get hurt in the process

unfortunately for you and Mi-jin Just accept it

I can't and I won't

Not for poor Mi-jin

Mr. Lee Woo-gon?

Are you Jo Woo-chan?

What did you want to see me for?

Are you Jo?

You know something about the death of Choi Mi-jin?

I know that you killed her

Who said that?

She died because you spread the false rumor

Is that what you wanted to see me about?

Do you know who I am?

Man, you gave me a scare

Why did you make up the groundless rumor?

Bastard

Who says it's groundless?

You wanna shut that mouth

Or should I rip it apart?

That's a promise

Lee Sang-il and Bae Su-jeong: divorce imminent

Lee Sang-il and Bae Su-jeong: divorce imminent Do you think they'll really split up?

They make the sweetest couple

How can you be so obsessed about celebrity gossip?

You said I should understand politics to see the big picture

Send it out when it's ready

Okay

How's 'Lightning' doing?

Oh, him...

The operation went well but he should rest for 3 months

What?

He seemed to be very disheartened by what happened

Give him a call

It's all because of that damn manager

Why are you here?

Who did this to you?

Jo Woo-chan

Who's that?

Secretary at the Executive Office

Did you just say Executive Office?

I really can't understand

why this happened in the first place

That's why I came back

Go to the hospital

Woo-gon

You couldn't even scream if you had my nightmares

What's the time?

Time to gossip Come on, I'm busy

Move over

Morning

How did you get in here?

You must be starving Kim, order him a delivery meal

Kimchi stew or something

Yes, boss

Why are you being nice to me?

Because I feel bad for your broken finger, sorry ass

Is that weird?

Really? Because of this finger?

I've done some thinking

What's told in these tip sheets are really predictions

Then, all that's happening now must have been foretold

right here

When you think about the Executive Policy Office,

the first thing that springs to mind is Director Park

Director Park?

He has some bad history with Congressman Nam

with regards to the development approval for a new satellite city

Nam directly opposed Park on behalf of the Land and Maritime Committee

The committee chair position just freed up

and Nam is a strong candidate

So, the Policy Office decided to do something about it?

Park wants so badly to relax the related laws

And rumor has it...

What rumor?

That it's all because of O&C Group's Dream City project

Dream City?

O&C has been been working on a massive city development project

and Nam put a break on it on grounds of environmental issues

Park is said to have been working on O&C's side over the years

So, he wanted to make sure that Nam doesn't become the chair

and Mi-jin was sacrificed in the process

Is that what it was about?

We gotta check if our hypothesis is valid

Basics of investigative journalism:

Check your facts Let's go

Hey!

Jeez, you scared me

Don't you have some good news for me?

Shush! She's almost coming

Seven 'ah's...

Am I better than your husband?

People have no imagination

I suppose you don't watch porn since this is your day job

The police cyber crime unit monitors 40,000 adult male who watch porn

Oh, really?

It's true! Recently, a Minister-designate was forced to step down

A totally respectable man What do you think happened?

Porn?

That's right

The police got into his computer

and found tons of material neatly categorized into folders

Yummy mommies, schoolgirls, big tits, stocking etc.

They can't use something like that against a man

There is no easier weak spot you can find in a man

Over half of them answered their secret stash of porn

Among the men who kill themselves from depression,

I'm sure quite a few died of shame after being caught by the wife

I'm depressed I'm incredibly depressed

You gotta help me out, man

What do you want from me?

Let's put a watch on Oh Bon-seok

Oh from O&C Group? Are you trying to get us killed?

No one got out unharmed after messing with Oh

That's why I came to you, a wiretap wizard

Let's make a miracle happen

Oh, man...

Who's this?

Substitute for Lightning

He has stories, doesn't he?

Who in this field hasn't?

Don't hang around him

He has a bad vibe

Those with smooth faces like him,

they get everyone around them hurt

Why don't you introduce yourself before you bad-mouth my vibe?

I have no plans to know you

Come on, man I'll put in a good word for you

To Kim? I'll see what I can do

2257, move your vehicle

You see? He brings bad vibe

So, you're telling me that

Director Park from the Policy Office baked up a false scandal about Nam

and he did it to help us

It's just a rumor I heard in passing but I couldn't get it off my mind

What do you want from me?

Whether there is any truth or not,

you don't want a story like that to be published in tip sheets

Your share price will drop Your chairman won't be happy

So I was thinking

that I could write something that can make it go away

In return, you could buy perhaps five more subscriptions

There are several subsidiaries under O&C

Man, you made me nervous for a moment

I thought you might ask me to buy you a house or something

I couldn't do that to you

Man, you really have become the lowest of a scumbag

Come on, two more subscriptions then

It costs like nothing to you

From sniffing around for stinky rumors and rotten stories,

now you want to fabricate your own rumors?

I shouldn't have come to you It was a mistake

A mistake?

Have you lost your mind?

Who are you?

Who the fuck are you to talk to him like that?

- Calm down, man - Who's this punk?

He's a newbie He doesn't know anything

Oi!

Why don't I just kill you?

Do you think I should just kill you?

Tell me, bastard!

- Calm down, man - Son of a bitch!

He doesn't know what he's doing

Get out of the way

You want me to kill you?

You fucking son of a bitch!

Run, man! Run!

Run?

Let's get out of here

Hurry up!

What's funny?

Do you know whose jaw you just cracked?

Who is he?

He's the chief of public relations at O&C Group

He and I used to work together as journalists back in the day

until he was hired by O&C Now he is a VP

What's so funny about that?

Because I've always wanted to crack his jaw

Wait

What was that about?

You'd make the rumor go away in exchange for some additional subscriptions

Is that why you helped me?

I was just testing him The real observation starts now

He bashed up Oh

Really? So, you know how to fight?

I've done my share of training

What's your specialty?

Sprinting

Is that supposed to be funny?

Did you get the job done?

I planted one inside the handle of the umbrella

It turns on and off automatically when there is sound

guaranteeing a long battery life

How come we don't hear anything?

Wiretap wizard, my ass

You don't say until you see his bank account

Get the lawyer to file a complaint against Park of 'P Report'

His employee hit me I think he messed up my neck

Either get out a settlement or send him to jail

Or I'll give back exactly what I got from him

I'm going to hospital now to get the medical report

He can't be acting like this if he has something to hide

This is not what I expected

Are you saying you were wrong about O&C?

It's possible that O&C is not involved

What the hell, man?

That's why we had to check

And this ends here

Damn it...

First things first...

Man, this isn't going right

It's me, honey! The police might come around shortly

It's nothing to worry about

I gotta go

Shit! I won't be able to go home for a while

Couldn't you get a motel room?

You shouldn't spend money like water

Be grateful that this isn't the office couch

Man, you dragged me here when I could've gone home

I can't put up with this shit anymore

What will you do if you quit?

Chicken shack

So,

are you sure that Director Park didn't make up the rumor for O&C?

I was pretty sure at first

but the reaction we got was contrary

Maybe we didn't scare him enough

Maybe he thinks we wouldn't dare touch him

Why don't we try again, this time provoke him a little harder

How?

Let's make him jump With a tipsheet

How come you're always so eager to fight?

You only pick fights that you have a chance at winning

It's over Just get some sleep

Choi Mi-jin is on TV

It's a rerun

You know her?

Are you kidding me?

I cried my eyes out when I heard the news

Man, watching her in tears makes me wanna cry again

Mi-jin's prettiest when she smiles

It's pathetic to talk about celebrities as if you know them

Didn't I tell you?

He was her manager

That's why he is so passionate about tracking down the source

Really?

Were you really her manager?

Who drove the angel to her death?

Where did he go?

I don't know He's gone

What?

He wasn't here when I woke up

Was Woo-gon here?

Sorry?

He was using the computer just a minute ago

He said you told him to do something

What did I tell him?

To send out breaking news

So I gave him the mailing list

Breaking news?

Yes, here

You crazy son of a bitch

Pass code is 1818 Spread the words

O&C's involvement in Congressman Nam scandal

The fucking bastards are begging to be killed

Find out who else received this edition of P Report

Get a hold of TV news cue sheet Check if our name is mentioned

I told you he was trouble

Boss

Come here, you!

You didn't have breakfast, did you?

Kim

Oh must be pretty pissed off to send you here, Mr. Cha

What are you doing here?

Well... have we met before?

Kim...

What does Oh want from us?

Get in touch with all your subscribers

Tell them what was in this morning's tipsheet was false

that you made it up to draw attention

Get to work now

Will this help you move faster?

Yes

Pardon?

Okay

Whose idea was it?

Don't hang around this kid

We're not that close

You sent the tipsheet only to O&C to feel us out?

Man, that was clever

Clever but...

you try something funny again I'll break all the other fingers

Was he the one that broke your finger earlier?

It was Cha Seong-ju? Not someone from O&C?

That's his name?

He's a former NIS field agent

Now he runs a private security company funded by O&C

On the official capacity, nobody knows what they do

but the truth is, they're a fixer for the company's dirty linen

The Policy Office and O&C...

And Cha was there every time?

It means we were right

Are you saying Mi-jin was sacrificed because of them?

That's right

Why her?

She never met the congressman Why her, of all people?

It could've been a coincidence God knows why

Now what will you do?

What do you mean? I'm gonna have her revenge

How?

Go to their office, break their stuff... That's your revenge?

What else can I do?

You gotta secure an evidence that can bring them down

Is there such thing?

We'll have to find out

You want to go on with this?

Are you kidding me? Of course!

Where do we start?

Is there a way?

Give me a gossip that no one's heard of

In the entertainment industry?

You must've heard something working as a manager

How the actress Kim Yeong-suk got her scar in the forehead

She was pimping for Dongyeong's chairman

and got bashed over the head with a golf club for ripping him off

Another one

The singer, Bae yeong-hun, broke up with Jeong Su-jin

because Bae contracted STD

And he gave it to her?

No, she gave it to him

Last one

Why are you asking me these?

Just one more

Jeong Jae-min, the period drama favorite

The one that looks like a sex addict

He's actually gay

Man, how do you know all this?

I didn't get to where I am on a high speed train

I started from the bottom and climbed up on my two feet

Alright! I want you to go into an info meeting

Info meeting? Me?

Find out everything you can about Director Park and O&C

What are you doing, boss?

My friend is in distress I'm trying to help him

But you're not that kind of man

An entertainment journalist just quit So, his spot freed up

I told them you were an entertainment journalist

and that you have the juiciest gossips

What they're really interested in

is anything related to politics or economic sector

They want to know anything that can affect their image

You're on your own from here

Stock up your bullets if you want to survive

Let me make an introduction

This is Kim Nam-su, a reporter with Daily Break

His area is entertainment

It's always fun to have someone like him onboard

We'll try him out for 2 weeks then we'll put it to a vote

But we'll know after two minutes

No offense I'm not saying that I don't like you

Good to see you, too

Let's start with you, Lee

What are you doing?

Taking notes

No recording, no bugging

Cut him some slack He's new

Fire away

The former lib-dem leader Lee Jin-woo is going to form a new party

Your source?

I heard it from his aide Lee wants the word spread

SEC just received an intel about a stock market scam

Get three housewives together and there's a talk of a scam

Which company?

Samju Trading

- The source? - Me

Who are you?

SEC securities fraud task force

Check!

Newbie, give us something

Chairman Lim of Juyeong Group

is impotent

What the hell, punk?

No need to get worked up about it

He's from Juyeong, that's why Your source?

I heard it from someone who works at Mirimi room salon

He would drag out girls to sleep with him

only to give them a floppy joe

Don't write that down

You call that valuable?

I'm not 1 00% sure

Just get to the story

I heard that there'll be a scam involving Daeyeong shares

You know what they say Buy on rumor and sell on fact

Tax evasion crackdown

They'll start from here

That's good for tonight Let's go get hammered

Okay

Any news on O&C?

O&C? Not really

Why would an entertainment journalist be interested in O&C?

I want to crack them It's sure to make me famous

Or get you buried six feet under

It's best to forget the big guys' secrets That'll keep you alive

What's wrong with you?

I really don't understand, boss

What?

Why are you helping Woo-gon?

Is it really just about his revenge?

You talk a lot today

Go home if you're done

What's wrong with you?

Did I scare you? I must have

I brought you something

I don't want it Leave it over there

What is it?

Rice cake in chili sauce

Isn't it your favorite, Kim?

I got it from a real famous place...

But it's bad for constipation?

Who told you that I'm constipated?

Was it you, boss?

Me?

Did I?

What else did he tell you?

Just that you like internet card games

and you know how to swear when you're pissed off

- And when you sleep... - When I sleep?

I mean, you work really hard except when you sleep

I heard that you started working here thinking you'll become a real journalist

You told him all that? Shame on you

I'm going home

Bye

You've been watching her, haven't you?

- You've never been in love - I'm not gonna dignify that remark

Pervert!

Stalking is not love

I'll tell her the truth

Did you hear from Woo-gon?

Everyone's running late today

Did you say you were from Boseong?

Yes, why?

Oh man...

I was gonna talk about Boseong today

I wonder if that's okay with you

What about?

You know the boyband, 'New People'?

There is a member called Min-su

He's been involved with Boseong chairman's daughter-in-Iaw

They were having car sex once...

How did you know about that?

Do you think I got to where I am on a high speed train?

I started from the bottom and climbed up on my two feet

You haven't told anyone about this?

Not yet

You guys are early

- Come out for a second? - Huh?

What's going on?

Let's leave out that story

But that's the only story I have tonight

Come on, you can always make something up

Make something up?

So, that's how false rumors spread... Because you run out of your bullets

I'll give you something about O&C I know you've been digging around

O&C?

O&C chairman and Director Park are getting together

How did you know about that?

I go to another info meeting with Park's aide, Jo Woo-chan

I stole a peek at his phone when he received a text message

It said

'Chairman confirmed. Please notify Director Park. - Oh Bon-seok'

When? Where?

Dream City Country Club

Why a golf course, of all places?

There is no place to install bugs

This is our only chance

Is there really no way to eavesdrop on them?

We'll have to do it the traditional way

This way, sir

When can we resume the construction of Dream City?

Congressman Nam is still holding his position strongly

We've been trying to convince him in different ways

But he is not someone that can be reckoned with

If he becomes the committee chair, it'll make life much harder for us

He recently suffered a blow to his public image

So, his party won't be able to back him up eagerly

I don't know how much longer we can sit around like this

I don't know what to say

Our Office is regrettable that we're unable to help

when you have done so much for us during the election

I'm here

Don't make a sound from now

I put the volume to maximum, your breath will sound like thunder

As for the Minister of Strategy and Finance...

Is there a valid reason for that?

What about the new Attorney General?

The candidates are being compressed to Jeong Won-seok and Oh ll-woo

There is no reason to oppose them

Which of your intel have ever been right?

Is there any problem with these candidates?

What is it?

We can't figure out only from what we heard

Did you shit in your pants or something?

No, actually...

The bug on the umbrella was still active

Sorry, Mr. Chairman There was no forecast of rain

Send Park information about the candidates Kang and Jeong

Kang is a disastrous choice for future Presidency

Jeong has strong anti-corporation sentiments

We gotta uproot any potential threats

Yes, Mr. Chairman

What's going on?

O&C has been collecting information about potential threat to their company

and have been passing that info to the Policy Office Director

Congressman Nam was one of them

Are you saying that O&C

has been interfering with appointing government officials?

Let's put it on a tipsheet

It's not as simple as that

What are you talking about?

This is way beyond what we can chew

You'll be setting off a massive bomb It could kill us all

So, we just turn a blind eye?

They freely spread false rumors Why can't we tell the truth?

A lot of people got screwed after messing with O&C

It won't end with just a finger

So, you want us to quit? Because you're scared?

Do you know what happened to my leg?

I was preparing an expos on O&C

One day, I woke up with a severed nerve in the leg

and all my research material gone

I have no proof but it's obvious who did it

Since then, I quit my job as a reporter and ended up here

No one can win against them No one's ever succeeded

If you fight them, it'll only end with your death

And you still want to do this?

I'm already dead

I died with Mi-jin, when she died

Confidential tipsheet about O&C No pass code required

What are you talking about? What tipsheet?

Forward it to me

O&C interferes with government's personnel management

Did you see the tipsheet? It must be stopped

Put an embargo on press coverage

Dream City is one of the biggest agenda of this administration

Look at this

O&C interferes with government's personnel management

When will we get the reaction?

With the Congressman's scandal,

it took exactly two hours after the tipsheet was sent out

So, we should see something by now...

There is suspicion that O&C is feeding their information

to the Office of Policy Development to influence the state affairs

It's an abominable attempt by a private company to control the state

It must be scrutinized and punished if found to be true

Bury it at all cost If you can't, minimize it

Tell them we'll increase advertising if they cooperate or we pull out

This is O&C's official position

Congressman Nam's accusation is totally ungrounded

O&C has no intention to interfere with the state affairs

He's on the line

Refute Nam's statement

We'll prepare a tipsheet that'll turn things around

How can you let this happen?

I'm terribly sorry but everything is coming under control

It can never happen again

Yes, sir

Hello, how are you?

How's it going?

Long time

- Director Park - Yes

Give us a comment about Congressman Nam's statement

Is there a truth to his accusations?

It's not worth mentioning

His accusations are based around online rumors,

the so-called tip sheets

He suffered a severe blow with his recent scandal

published in one of those tip sheets

And now he quotes them to raise a grave accusation?

Isn't it terribly ironical?

If everything that's in tip sheets was true

I'd like to ask him whether he can confirm the validity

of the rumor about his video

What video, sir?

- Please, just one comment - One more comment, Director

Is that true?

What?

That there is a sex video of Nam and Mi-jin?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Check out the internet portals

The rumor is spreading fast that you shot the video for blackmail

- I shot her sex video...? - Look at this

What's going on?

This is O&C's counter attack

Run! You can't do anything if they take you!

Woo-gon! This way

Hurry, you idiot!

Open up

Please hurry

Open this gate

It's Woo-gon

Hey, Woo-gon

What the hell?

It was you, wasn't it?

Don't you want to see Mi-jin's video?

There is no such thing

I have a copy

Do you want a preview? It's really something

Liar

You clueless clown!

You're begging to be killed

Dump him at the Dream City construction site

Woo-gon

Here's your coffee, goddess

Good servant

- It's all over the news - What?

The scandal between Bae Yeong-hun and Yun Ga-eun

Really? Give me that

Wow!

I just talked to his manager He's lost it

They didn't know about it at the agency?

It won't have happened if they knew

Mi-jin, you should never hide anything from me

Whatever it is, I must know before I can take care of it

I got nothing to hold back

I wish I was involved in a scandal and make the news

What news do you want?

Oh, I want to be in the news for

winning at Cannes

The winner of best female actor

Best female actor at Cannes?

One day I'll make it happen

Hey, why doesn't this taste like anything?

What are you talking about?

I can't taste anything either

Is this just a dream?

Mi-jin

Are you okay?

I don't know what I've done

I came all this way to clear Mi-jin's name

I ended up creating a rumor about her sex video

Now no one will believe her

She was killed twice because of false rumors

Now you see who you're up against?

Maybe that sex video really exists

What are you talking about?

O&C cannot have spread a completely ungrounded lie

Nam and Mi-jin may well have been seeing each other

He has a point. O&C spread rumors based on their own intel

You're all mad

Are you saying that I shot that video?

Not that you did it

But someone else could have

It's creepy in here

They may have met here, away from the public eye

There was nothing out of ordinary when I moved out her stuff

There are things only the trained eye can see

There's gotta be a trace if there was a bug

Is that... a camera lens?

Lens?

Hold this up

I have a camera detector

There is really a lens

Idiots forgot to retrieve the camera?

You see, it has a view of the entire room

What's this?

Over there

What the...?

I told you

Mi-jin's hidden cam video really exists?

I can't tell whether it shot anything

You know where Cha's office is

What for?

Cha said... that he had her video

What are you gonna do?

What do you mean? I gotta find out for myself

What?

According to my observation log,

Cha comes into work at 8.30am

and leaves office by 9:00pm unless he has other plans

The security system goes active when he leaves the office

and no one can get in without his access card

The only exception is when the cleaners come in the morning

before Cha comes into work

So there is nothing you can do?

You don't need to complicate things

Can you elaborate?

You said the cleaners always finish before Cha arrives

It's possible that they've never met Cha

I'm on 1 9th floor I'm going in

You're still cleaning

I need to pack for a business trip You can go now

Yes, sir

I'm in front of the safe box

Connect your digital key

Press the button when both graphs hit the same point

That will temporarily paralyze the system

I know I practiced over and over

if you apply the wrong pressure, it's like entering the wrong pass code

Three mistakes and it'll set off the security system

Did you make it?

It's not working

Come on, man

Are you sure this works?

It's supposed to

Is this correctly configured?

- Someone's coming - Who?

I'm sorry I forgot something

That's fine

This is the last attempt Don't screw up

Shut up for a moment, will you?

It's open

Who was the man that just left?

He's the CEO

CEO?

Yes

What are you talking about?

Find them fast You gotta retrieve it

There was also this

So, this is Mi-jin's video?

But she said no

We'll only find out after watching this

It's not Congressman Nam

What?

That's Jo from the Policy Office

Okay

Go to Sanlim redevelopment district

What does this mean?

I see the whole picture now

Director Park heard from O&C that Nam and Mi-jin were involved

He wanted proof

A hard evidence that can blow Congressman Nam to the moon

So, he sent Jo Woo-chan for the job

I see you

Help me

Help me!

Keep still!

You said she was going to the press conference

Lee Woo-gon is coming up

Cha edited out the part that can implicate him

and decided to keep the video for insurance

It's Oh from O&C

Why is he calling?

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Put Lee Woo-gon on the phone

Woo-gon

This is Lee

Let's keep this simple I'm going to make a proposition

Don't you want to make it big as a talent manager?

Find a few promising talents

What's the biggest talent agency? Is it Zeus Entertainment?

Acquire it Don't worry about the money

I'll set you up on the track for broadcasting, movies, music

Anything you name

Just give me the video I'll give you anything you want

What about Mi-jin?

Who?

Mi-jin that you killed

Forget about her

How can I?

I'm her manager

I got it

Yes, sir Stop the car

What are you gonna do now?

I'll go public, what else?

You tried that before You know it won't work

- He's not there? - No, sir

Over there

There they are

It's Cha's men

Open this door

Shit! What are we gonna do now?

Listen carefully We only have a little time left

What are you gonna do?

They don't know about you

So, do as I ask you

What are you gonna do?

Hurry

Go inside

Come on

It's over for us if you get caught

Even if we don't meet again, you gotta take this to the world

Shut up, man

Kim!

You retrieved the file?

Uploading... Choi Mi-jin video

P REPORT: Choi Mi-jin video attached

Invalid pass code

What's the matter with you?

What's a talent manager doing here?

If I do nothing,

you'll think it's okay to keep doing what you do

Man, you fascinate me

Find someone who can crack the code

Pass code?

What is it?

I was forwarded a tipsheet It's Choi Mi-jin video

Has anybody got the pass code?

What's going on?

Give me a moment I'm looking into it as we speak

What's the pass code?

How would I know? I've been here with you all along

Do you think anything will change if you bring it out to the world?

No journalist will bother to write about it

Not after we muffle them up with money

There is one thing you can't stop

What's that?

People's fingers

I'll break all their fingers

Like this

Great work Please follow me

Hi, my name is Choi Mi-jin

What the hell is this?

Mom

Do you like the mountains or the ocean?

I like the mountains because they rise high

What? What's on YouTube?

I don't know what it is but you can't run it

Stars are awesome things They're actually just bumpy rocks...

Hey

What's on YouTube?

No matter what it is You can't run the story

I want to be a star like that

Why do I want to be an actor?

Because I want to be famous

Mr. Oh

There is someone I want to impress by becoming famous

Pull it down! Now!

Stop the car

Sir, you should see this

Why won't this open?

Get out of the way

How did it go?

It's all over the internet There is nothing they can do

It's YTN, they've just decided to air it

It was the Prosecutor's Office They are going ahead with the investigation

Yes, sir

So, I got a go-ahead Who should be first?

Man, I gotta give you...

you're one hell of a manager

but in the next life, find another job

No, you bastard!

Get him

Woo-gon!

Wake up

Woo-gon

Woo-gon

Woo-gon

Woo-gon!

Man, I thought you were dead

How did you find us here?

Were you monitoring GPS on Kim's cell phone?

You fucking pervert!

Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation on O&C Group and Policy Office

Police arrested Jo Woo-chan, a former Secretary at Policy Office

for murder of actor, Choi Mi-jin

Following the arrest of Cha Seong-ju and Jo Woo-chan on charges of murder,

Prosecutor's Office announced their plans to investigate O&C Group

on suspicion of illegal interference with the state affair

Breaking news just came in:

Congressman Nam is holding a special press conference

I stand before the citizens of Korea to make a confession

I was involved with someone before I entered politics

She passed away a few years ago

I recently learned that she had a child that I fathered

That child's name is Choi Mi-jin

Do you know who toppled O&C and Director Park?

It was Choi Mi-jin's manager His name is Lee Woo-gon

Really?

Not only that

He also convinced Congressman Nam to hold a press conference

and tell the world that Choi Mi-jin was his daughter

How?

He found in some old tip sheets about Nam's affair in the past

and figured it all out from that

He asked the congressman to tell the truth to the world

or he will

So, that's what happened

Why else would a high-flying politician admit to his illegitimate child?

How did a talent manager pull off all this?

I know something about that

What is it? Tell us

The truth of the matter was...

Kim Kang-woo

Jeong Jin-young

Go Chang-seok Park Sung-woong

Park Won-sang Kim Eui-seong

Former congressman...

That's good

Okay

I thought you wanted to open a chicken shack

How can I shut down Korea's top tipsheet operation?

I'm the legendary 'P Report' who toppled O&C Group

- Kim - Thanks

Have you heard from Woo-gon?

He said he's going back to managing The bastard never bothers to call

Why do you miss him so much?

Don't be silly

Friday 17th at 2:00pm...

First shoot We'll be there by one

There is no such thing as small parts

If you don't like her acting, I'll return the advance

I want you to know that you can count on me

Thank you so much I'll see you on Friday

Hey

Hi

Shall we go?

Okay

Okay!

Tip sheets will always exist

as long as secrets exist

and people continue to desire to know them before others

Not everything contained in tip sheets is ungrounded

but the moment the secret loses the truth

it becomes a tipsheet
