Are you here for the interrogation?

I'll come with some questions to
ask you once you're finished.

I don't know what a reporter does.

I'll come see you again once I find out
what a reporter truly does.

Not as just a street mutt,
but as a wolf...

I'll come and bark at you for real.

Mr. Ki Ha Myung.

Have you finally figured out
what a reporter does?

Yes.

I think I have a vague idea.

Okay.

Then come...

and bark at me for real.

When you do, I'll answer all
your questions.

Yes, I understand.

[Episode 19 -
The sun, the wind, and the traveler]

MSC's Sung Cha Ok, who has been accused
for the crime of defamation and slander

has turned herself in to the police.

Reporter Sung has claimed that the recent
case was a conspiracy by the executives to

manipulate the public's opinion,
and that such orders have been dealt

for the past 14 years of her career.

Reporter Ki Ha Myung, reporting.

Reporter Sung Cha Ok has been sued
for defamation of character

by Officer Ahn of Seoul Police Precinct, and
was questioned for three hours by the police.

A day before the explosion occurred at
the waste factory nearby Han River in Seoul

Officer Han received the report of
a small explosion...

Hey, that whole situation is happening
because of the lawsuit you filed, isn't it?

Yes.

Wow, Ahn Chan Soo.

You're something else, aren't you?

I offer my sincerest apology to Officer Ahn
for the damage I've caused by my actions.

Are you admitting that it was
a conspiracy?

Yes, I admit to it.

I have submitted an honest testimony of
everything that happened regarding the case.

Reporter Sung claims that this was just
a cover up to keep the identities of

the real guilty parties and the cause of
the explosion a secret from the public

and that she was forced to follow the orders
given to her by a higher force at the station.

Chairman Park Ro Sa, the largest shareholder
at MSC News for the past 14 years

and her connection with the executives at
the station has made it impossible

for her to refuse the requests
that were made of her.

Although it shames me to admit it

I have complied every time a request
came in to manipulate a report.

When did you start receiving
those requests?

The first was Fireman Ki Ho Sang's case
which occurred 14 years ago.

Can you give us more detail
on who gave you those orders?

Is Manager Sung even sane?

How can she purposely put herself on
a path of self-destruction like that?

Hey, that's not self-destruction.
She's just clearing her conscience.

Senior Sung...
She finally sounds like a real reporter.

Senior Joo Ho.

And what is YGN doing?
They're declaring war against us.

You see that as a declaration of war?

It's a warning. They're warning us
to shape up or ship out.

I'm seriously humiliated to be
an MSC reporter right now.

The waste factory explosion
that occurred 14 years ago

was manipulated in order to conceal
illegal explosive chemicals that were dumped

and she was ordered by the executives to
frame Fireman Ki Ho Sang for the crime

of negligence in order to
shift the focus away from the real truth.

Reporter Sung has pointed to the main
shareholder of the station, Chairman Park

as well as the high level executives of
the station as the main conspirators

and has submitted text message records since
the year 2000 as evidence to support her claim.

On the other hand,
Chairman Park Ro Sa

denies any knowledge of any text messages
that were exchanged 14 years ago.

Have you exchanged any text messages
with Reporter Sung Cha Ok of MSC News?

I don't remember any of that
since it happened so long ago.

I didn't say anything about it
having happened a long time ago.

You say that you don't remember, but
you remember it happened a long time ago?

Get rid of him.

Damn.

Chairman Park will inevitably be brought in
for questioning in regards to framing Officer Ahn.

It is presumed that this recent turn of events
will uncover more similar conspiracies.

Ki Ha Myung reporting from YGN News.

Mom, you're okay, aren't you?

No, I'm not okay.

Relay this message to
Ki Ha Myung for me.

Tell him to lead his reports with the most
shocking aspect of the story from now on.

Softening up the story like that cuts out
all the intrigue and excitement of the story.

He should've led with Chairman Park's
interview to make it more impactful.

Excuse me?

What happens now is very crucial.

Chairman Park is going to start
calling in her legal team

to figure out a plan
to get her out of all this.

Tell YGN to keep their eyes wide open
and keep tabs on what she does.

What kind of a plan?

I'm sure she'll think of a way to avoid
being brought in for questioning.

Cap.

First, we need to avoid
being taken in for questioning.

I'll release a statement that you are
attending a buyer's meeting in Japan.

The head prosecutor and I have
known each other a long time

so I'm sure that we'll be able to
reach some sort of an agreement.

You've always turned my moments
of crisis into opportunities.

Once again, I leave
everything in your good hands.

Don't worry. Take a few days rest
at a quiet place somewhere

and I'll handle everything
on this end.

Then I'll leave knowing
that it's in your capable hands.

Assistant Go, I'll be...

Yes, Senator Yoon.

Ah, you saw the news?

Yes, I know. Reporter Sung must've felt
disappointed with the recent appointment.

No, you don't need to be concerned.

Will you be able to make it
to the grand opening?

Yes, I'll see you then.

I'll be leaving to go stay at my villa in
Cheong-jong-ri, so make proper arrangements.

Yes, Ma'am.

According to Cap Kim, he thinks Chairman Park
is going to use a foreign business trip

as an excuse to delay the
police questioning.

An excuse?

- Then she's going to go into hiding?
- Yeah.

Mom says that if she does

then there's a high chance that Chairman Park
will go to her villa in Cheong-jong-ri.

The villa in Cheong-jong-ri?

Yes. Even when she got summoned
for use of fraudulent funds

she used the excuse of business in the States,
but went to her villa instead.

Are you sure?

Who gave you this information?

Reporter Sung Cha Ok passed on the tip
over to me through Reporter Choi In Ha.

- Manager Sung gave you the tip?
- Yes.

Senior Sung...

She must be determined to get Chairman Park
in front of the police in any way possible.

Cha Ho Chul.

- I need you to go to Cheong-jong-ri.
- Yes, Sir.

Chairman Park Ro Sa,
of Bum Jo Department Stores

who wasn't able to comply with the police
due to an important foreign business trip

has been confirmed as still in Korea
as a result of YGN's diligent research.

The police have stated that Chairman Park
failed to comply to their request by lying

to which, another summon
was sent out to her.

Failure to comply with the new summon
will result in the issuing of an arrest.

YGN News, Cha Ho Chul, reporting.

Things wouldn't have gotten this complicated
if it hadn't been for YGN News.

This letter was issued by
the police commissioner himself.

Ah... so that's why this was
sent out again.

I'm receiving this again merely because
of a one minute news report?

I guess your connections
have no effect in this matter?

Yes, Senator Goo.

Ah, that?

I did what I could to avoid it so
that I could keep you from worrying

but it seems that I have
embarrassingly failed.

Yes, of course.
There's no problem.

Yes, I'll see you at the grand opening.

You heard that, didn't you?

If the news of me being taken
into the police station breaks out

what do you think that my senators
will think of me then?

The commissioner sends his apologies

and he said if you comply with the summon,
he promises to keep it as quiet as possible.

He set the date for an early morning
to avoid being hounded by the reporters

and if you go in through
the underground garage

then you can get away quietly afterward
without anyone finding out about it.

Why are things getting so complicated?

What is going on here?

If she were to come in for
the questioning

then she'll come in either on a Sunday or on
a holiday when the reporters aren't around.

And very early in the morning, at that.

Then we can have all the reporters
wait for her at the front gate.

People like that would never
use the front gates.

She's not going to want to advertise
going in to the station for questioning.

She'll definitely use the
underground garage entrance.

So...

if you're going to stick it out anywhere,
then it must be at the underground garage.

Okay.

She's here.

Is it true that you framed an innocent cop
just to hide the corruption

lurking behind these politicians?

I thought there weren't
going to be any reporters.

- No interviews. Please stop shooting.
- Please move.

Please give us a statement.

Is it true that you used Fireman Ki Ho Sang
for the same intent 14 years ago?

Is that claim, true?

- Stop the camera.
- Move.

- Please stop filming.
- Give us a statement.

I'm sure that your senators
are feeling nervous

as they witness you walking
into the police station.

Do you have anything
that you'd like to say to them?

Shut up!

Chairman Park.

Are you denying his claim?

Let go of the door.
Right now!

And by this time,
Chairman Park will undoubtedly

be trying to divert
the public's attention away from her.

Are you saying they will try
to cause a different issue?

She's going to try to bury this issue
with an even larger one.

For example, breaking news
on a hot celebrity.

Since when did the people of this country
start paying so much attention to the news?

Have you seen the top internet
search topics?

When you type in my name,
endless stories pop up.

How about trying to divert
the focus away from you?

With so many eyes on us right now,
any other methods may prove impossible.

What?
What is it that you have?

How about a story on the habitual
use of the drug, Propofol.

Propofol?

Yes, that's good.

- Who?
- FAMA, he modeled for us last year.

He was in the recent tabloids for being
a habitual user of the recreational drug.

- I'm sure the PR team has something on it.
- That's a great idea.

He recently released an album,
and he's also been in a drama

so it'll cause a big sensation.

The police are investigating the allegations
of the popular idol, FAMA, using Propofol

for recreational use, and have summoned
FAMA in for some questioning.

Through the hospital records found,
and a testimony given by a hospital admin

it has been found that FAMA has been
administered over 12 doses of Propofol.

No...

This can't be.

That's dog crap!

Hey, you startled me.

[FAMA, we'll keep you protected.]

I sincerely apologize for having shamed
myself and for disappointing everyone.

Do you admit that you've been a
habitual user of the drug, Propofol?

No, I'm not a habitual user.

But it was for a legitimate medical purpose.

I believe you.

Hey, Yoon Yu Rae.
Have you lost your mind?

Can you please give us a statement?

I will comply with the police investigation
and prove my innocence of these claims.

- Are you saying that you're innocent?
- Are you denying the allegations?

- When did you start the drug use?
- Can you clarify your statement?

FAMA, I know that you're not
that type of a person.

I'll find out the truth for you.
You can trust me, FAMA.

She's really lost it.

I'm going to protect him.

The police have declared FAMA innocent
of all accusations and allegations

in regards to Propofol use that
the idol has been charged with.

My innocence has been proven
through the police investigation.

I will continue to show you
the positive side of my image.

FAMA's been suffering from
Gastrointestinal disorders

due to the over exhaustion with his
recent album release and drama production

and has been taking Propofol
for legitimate medical purposes.

As you can see, due to his small and
large intestinal issues, as well as

for his stomach cramps, he's received a total
of four doses within a two month period.

And he's never received any
before then.

FAMA's been cleared of any and all
involvement of illegal usage of Propofol

and he's revealed his plans to dedicate
himself to his music even more

since being declared of his innocence.
From YGN News, Yoon Yu Rae, reporting.

Issues like this usually take
a few more days before cooling down

but YGN was so quick with
their investigation of the story

that our attempt to divert
the focus has failed.

Yes, I'm sure.

With your competence at work,
and your wide network of connections

I'm sure those reporters just happened
to be at the garage by coincidence

and the tabloid must've had it wrong.

Since you're both so good
at your jobs!

Yes, Senator Jo.

No, please don't mention it.

Yes, of course.

Yes, I'm aware that you're
feeling anxious.

No, there's no need for you to worry.
Just think of it as a passing wind.

You're still aware of the date
of our grand opening, aren't you?

It'll go on as scheduled.

Yes... I'll see you then.

What else have you got for me?
What other ideas do you have?

Chairman Park.

There's no punishment against will in
the case of defamation of character.

If the victim doesn't seek compensation,
then you can't be held liable for anything.

So...

Are you telling me to go to Officer Ahn
and beg him for his forgiveness?

It wouldn't be begging.

I'm just saying you should
clear up the misunderstanding.

Before the situation gets any worse,
reaching some sort of a settlement with him

to quietly clear this up would be...

With the situation the way it is

Chairman Park is going to try to
placate Officer Ahn into dropping the case.

Placate him?

Because there's no punishment against will
in the case of defamation of character?

That's right.

If Officer Ahn agrees to settle,
then Chairman Park can't be penalized.

Which means...
this case will just end right here.

I'm sure Chairman Park and her team will
try to generously convince Officer Ahn.

And if they fall for her offer,
then everything will turn into dust.

What do you think?

Do you think that Officer Ahn
will accept such an offer from her?

No.

I'm not sure.

He has three kids to raise.

Hey.

Even if I have three kids to raise,
I'm still a proud law officer of Korea.

I won't fall for an offer like that.
I'm not settling.

I knew you'd say that.
I totally had faith in you.

I had a small seed of doubt.
A tiny seed.

Okay, fine.
I had huge doubts.

I'm sorry.

You were worried that Chan Soo would
take the deal, too, weren't you?

- No, not at all.
- Hey!

Don't worry.

Ha Myung, you were the reason
why I started this battle.

I started it because I felt bad for spreading
those false rumors about you in high school

and also because I felt grateful to you
for saving me despite that.

I started because you told me to,
and I'll only stop when you tell me to.

I know what this battle means to you.

I'm putting my conscience on the line,
and I'm going to see this thing through.

Thanks, Chan Soo.

If you're that grateful, then bring over a
housewarming gift to my house this weekend.

A housewarming party?

I thought you moved into that house
over three years ago?

So why are you having a
housewarming party?

Even though we've been there for three years
it hasn't been long since we reunited.

Come with lightness in your hearts,
and heaviness in your hands, got it?

A party for your third child wasn't enough,
but a housewarming party after three years?

Ugh... don't you have any conscience?

Try raising three kids.
Conscience is a luxury that I can't afford.

Hey.

I thought you said you were putting
your conscience on the line?

That conscience and this conscience are
kept in two different places, so don't worry.

I'm home.

Are you just getting home?
Go get washed up, and let's have dinner.

Grandfather, why are
you coming out of that room?

I went over to your brother's house,
and brought a few of your things here.

They're put away in the dresser,
so you can change into those clothes.

I couldn't stand seeing you wearing my
ill-fitting clothes even though you're home.

I could've gone back to get it myself.

Why couldn't you just fit into
normal sized clothes?

- You're just uselessly tall.
- He's right.

You are unnecessarily long and tall.

But do you think that Chan Soo
really is okay?

Why?
Are you feeling uneasy about him?

It's just that I'm sure Chairman Park will
probably make him an amazing offer

and if Chan Soo settles,
then that'll be the end of everything.

Don't worry, Chan Soo's not the type
of person to fall for something like that.

And Nosy Jang said he'll tag along tomorrow,
so we don't have to worry about it.

That's a relief to hear.
I'll see you out there.

I almost forgot. Let me know
if you need help with shaving...

Hey, your right arm!

What the heck?
You're all healed now?

What's your deal?

Why did you put on the false act
when your arm's already been healed?

I wasn't putting on an act,
it just isn't completely healed yet...

Why? Because you were afraid that we'd
tell you to go home once you're all healed?

No, it was because...

You like being here, don't you?

You don't have to eat your rubbery eggs
for meals while you're here

and you also get to see grandfather
and father every day.

Not to mention seeing me every day.
Right?

Can't you just move back home?

Does the thought of your brother
still concern you that much?

No.

Then come home.

That ridiculous breakfast of yours
keeps worrying me, anyway.

- Come out here and eat dinner.
- Okay.

Come on.

This is going in the garbage.

- What is this?
- My goodness.

Chairman Park would like to
clear up the misunderstanding.

Take them back.

A misunderstanding means that she doesn't
want to admit to her wrongdoing.

First...

we should clear up this
misunderstanding.

Look here, how...

- How much is this?
- How much is it?

How much is it?

- Aren't those Chairman Park's people?
- I think it is!

Wait!

Are you here to offer bribery
in hopes for a settlement?

What is all this?

Wait!
What's in that envelope?

An envelope full of money and
a settlement isn't what I'm seeking.

I'm a proud police officer of Korea.
Please relay this message to Chairman Park.

That I, Ahn Chan Soo,
don't need any of this.

Can you give us a statement?

He says he doesn't need any of it.

He just wants you to admit your
wrongdoing and apologize to him in person.

- He asked me to relay that to you.
- What else?

That was...

all he said.

I see, that's all he said?

Then I guess I just need to go
and apologize to him.

I should've gone there myself.
What an unthinkable sin I just committed.

How does he want it? Does he want
me get down on my knees and beg?

Like this?
Is this how I should beg?

- Chairman Park.
- What?

I don't think there are any
other solutions.

I think you should cooperate with the
investigation and search for other ways...

Team Leader, and Assistant Go...

Is it that I don't pay you
enough money?

Is that it?

Tell me if I just need to pay you more
instead of failing at your jobs like this!

Chairman Park, bending down a bit
for the better of...

Bend down?
To whom?

To that police officer?

Then I'll be admitting that I'm guilty
of defamation of character.

That means I'm admitting
to all those connections.

The identity of all those senators will
be revealed to the whole world

and the prosecution will start
an internal investigation.

Does this look like something that'll get
resolved by bending down a bit?

Does it?

Now, let's do this my way.

- Excuse me?
- The outgoing words have to be harsh...

for the incoming words
to be gentle and compliant.

Let's just make this easy
on ourselves.

We've tried to appease and
console him enough.

Let's search for another way.

You understand what I'm
saying, don't you?

Mother...

Please...

Please stop.

[Announcement]

[An HR meeting will be held to discuss
the termination of Reporter Sung Cha Ok.]

So they're going to see this thing
through to the end, are they?

- Senior Sung... Will this be the end of her?
- Don't you think that's a given?

MSC has lost its credibility and its
viewer rating because of Manager Sung.

She deserves to get fired
after the damage that she's caused.

You really are a louse.
You really are such a huge louse.

We can't just sit back and
do nothing as they do this to her.

What?

No, it's nothing.

This is the first time I've ever seen you
sleeping at the office like this.

Yes, I've never slept on
the job before.

You're not ill or anything, are you?

I'm just sleepy.

I've suffered from insomnia for the past
15 years, and haven't had a full night's sleep

but I think my lack of sleep from
all those years is catching up to me.

I saw the announcement bulletin
from the HR Department.

Yeah, I saw it, too.

I wasn't even surprised by it.

If anything,
it came later than I expected.

I'm sleepy, so keep it down.

Okay.

I'm just going to sleep for five more minutes,
so just stay right where you are.

The sun's too bright in my eyes.

Yes, Mom.

There you are.

- Why? Have you been looking for me?
- Yeah.

I heard.

I heard that your mom is being
called in by the HR committee.

- You guys heard that, too?
- Yeah.

- Everything okay?
- She's doing better than I thought.

- She looks more at peace, too.
- No, I was asking about you.

Me?

I'm living the life compared to
what my mom's going through.

I'm actually not doing that bad,
and I'm keeping myself together.

I'd feel bad for my mom if I were to
admit that I'm struggling right now.

Pretending that you're okay
because you feel bad about it...

I've realized that it's just foolish.

No, I really am okay.

I guess I'm not okay.

See?

I should've hugged you like this
back then.

Even if you told me not to worry
or to comfort you...

I still should've hugged you.

When hugging could be
so comforting like this.

You haven't forgotten about
the housewarming party tonight, right?

With lightness in your heart,
and heaviness in your hands.

Make sure to bring
Reporter Yoon with you, too.

Yoon Yu Rae, you're going to Chan Soo's
housewarming party later, right?

Yeah, why do you ask?

I was thinking you, In Ha,
and I could go together.

Why would I?
Why should I go with you?

Why would I go with someone
who already has a girlfriend?

Do you have a grudge
against me or something lately?

Yeah.

You're dog meat to me lately.
I like you less and less.

Whatever.

- Then you're going to come alone?
- No, I'm not going alone.

Cha Ho Chul, want to go to Officer Ahn's
housewarming party with me?

I'm busy.

Cap Hwang, want to go to
Officer Ahn's housewarming party?

- Okay.
- Excuse me?

What are you agreeing to right now?

Didn't you ask me to go to
a housewarming party just now?

I'm saying that I'll go.

What's wrong with Cap Hwang?
Why is he agreeing to go?

He's going because you
asked him to go.

But I'm asking why?

That's what I'd like to ask.

Why did you invite Cap Hwang
to come along?

Because I didn't think he'd
agree to come.

What happened?
Why did your Captain come?

That's what I'd like to know.
I don't know why he came, either.

How much did Chairman Park
offer you as settlement?

Ugh, seeing the thickness of that envelope

I think it would've been enough
to pay off our place

and pay for our kids'
preschool tuition, too.

Thanks for letting that go,
and sticking to your guns.

Yeah, but aside from all that, don't
you think that your gift is too meager?

But I guess... there are those who
didn't even bring a thing.

Threats come after bribery.

Record all exchanges made with
Chairman Park's party

and if they even hint at a threat,
then let one of our reporters know.

- Okay?
- Yes, I understand.

Leave the japchae on the table

and take a plate of ribs off the table
when you see a chance.

What is this?
I thought you said your Cap was cool.

I know... he's embarrassing me
in so many different ways today.

Look over here, Joon Ki, and smile.

Aren't I so pretty?

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

Hey, I'm not old enough to be
called ma'am!

Wow... your family looks so happy.

No kidding.
How is this possible at our age?

Turn your face to the side.

It's possible for you, too.
Look over here.

You want to see something shocking?
You're not going to believe this.

- What is it?
- This might've been nine years ago.

- It was when I was on a TV quiz show.
- Why would you turn that on? Turn it off!

Turn it off!

I was the producer of this show.

Wow, it's Choi Dal Po!

- Wow, it's Choi Dal Po!
- Just look at your hair!

You totally had a mop for hair.

- Fine, laugh all you want.
- Chan Soo, can you send that to me?

- I want to watch it when I feel depressed.
- Dal Po, how about uploading it on the web?

Hey, we're out of drinks, right?
I'll go out and get us some more beer.

Seo Bum Jo.

Hey.

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

Yeah.

But I didn't know that
you guys were over.

We came over for
his housewarming party.

- Want me to call Chan Soo out here for you?
- No.

I came without thinking
to ask him to forgive my mother

but there doesn't seem to be
anything that I can do.

My mother's never going to back down.

She's not someone to be convinced,
and she definitely won't repent, either.

But I don't have the courage...

to turn my family member in
like you did.

I think I finally understand why
In Ha felt so sorry to you.

No, don't feel like that.

I have no intentions of asking you
to turn your mother in to the police.

Because I know just how
difficult that is.

And I've long since gotten past seeking
revenge or holding a grudge against anyone.

Are you just saying that
to make me feel better?

No, it's not that.

Seo Bum Jo.

- I like you.
- Hey!

What's wrong with you?
You're grossing me out.

But I like In Ha even better.

I like her so much that I'm sad to see
the time go even when I'm with her.

Why are you confessing that to me?

Those times are too precious to me,
and that's why I've let it all go.

Seeking revenge or holding a grudge...
I've moved past all that.

Now, I just want to report
the truth as a true reporter would.

Reporting the good and the bad
for what it is...

I just want to report the truth to the
world, and that's all there is to it.

I'm sorry, Jae Myung.

Forgiveness probably came too
easily for me, didn't it?

Not easy... but impressive.

There's nothing to be impressed by.

Being too obsessed with seeking revenge
and finding blame in others

was deterring me from seeing
what I really needed to see.

I kept investigating as if
I already knew the answers

and I investigated as if I couldn't even
see the truth of people's real lives.

I kept making those mistakes,
and it started to scare me.

I felt afraid that I may become
a reporter like Sung Cha Ok.

No, you can't do that.

I know that I can't.

Whether you want to forgive or not,
do what you feel is right.

There's no need
for you to seek my permission.

I've killed people.

So what right would I have...
to even blame or forgive someone?

Jae Myung.

That quality of yours...

don't ever lose it.

This location of Bum Jo Shopping Mall
which you see today

is a project which we've been working
hard to realize for the past ten years.

With everything that you've done for them,
what is it that you've earned for yourself?

All that you've possessed in your life,
and all that you'll come to possess.

With an estimated 5,000 direct employees

and an estimated indirect employment
of over 15,000 personnel...

- What are you doing?
- I'm practicing my speech for later.

Reading a speech right off a script
tends to make you look a little stupid.

Why have I never realized it?

Just how hard you've had to
work all these years?

And because of your efforts, I've been
able to live my life in such luxury?

I didn't know.

You don't need to know.

It's okay for my son...
to just live in the lap of luxury, okay?

I'm sorry...

Mother.

Isn't he so cute?

They're the same age as you are,
but they already have three kids?

How does that even make any sense?

I think it makes more sense than
still being single at the age of 40.

Isn't Cap Hwang kind of handsome?

Maybe it's just the angle.

Hey, doesn't it look like
he's staring at you in this picture?

You're right.

He is staring at me.

See?
He's staring at you again.

There he is again.

- Isn't it weird?
- Yeah.

It's weird.

I think Cap Hwang's a bit weird.

Really?
You think Cap Hwang's weird?

No, that's not what I meant.

No, it's okay to mean it like that.

No matter how I look at it...

I think you're meant to be
a rebel like me.

No.

No, I'm not.

Did you see that twirl?

Who are you?

My name is Seo Bum Jo, the son of the
Chairman at Bum Jo Department Store.

So... what is it that
you're here to see me about?

I'm here to relay the message...

that things are going well, and to tell you
not to worry about the promise that was made.

I see.

Bum Jo came by Chan Soo's house?

- Then why didn't he come in?
- He just left.

He said he wanted to seek forgiveness,
but there was nothing that he could do.

Forgiveness?

But I thought Bum Jo
was on his mother's side.

No, he's just pretending to be.

Seriously?

I didn't know...
and I misread the situation.

He said he didn't tell you because
he didn't want to cause you any worry.

- It must've been so difficult for him.
- Yeah.

[Nosy Jang]

Yes, this is Ki Ha Myung,
of Han River District.

You're getting ready for Bum Jo Mall's
ground breaking at 4pm, right?

Yes, I am.

Many of the senators who are in
Chairman Park's pocket will be in attendance.

Have you checked the list of attendants?

Yes.

I've noticed the names of quite a few
senators from the text messages on the list.

Okay, good.
I doubt they'll agree to an interview

but stick to them like glue and
get at least their refusal to an interview.

Is that understood?

Yes, Sir.

- Are you aware of the ground breaking?
- Yes, Sir.

It's slated to be the largest shopping mall
in the country with an auditorium, too.

It's rumored to be a major
tourist attraction, as well.

See if you can scoop anything up.

- What are you looking at?
- Nothing.

I'm just sorry to see your
talent wasted.

Why don't you go join the PR team
instead of staying on the investigative team?

I think you'd be better suited for that.

Make sure to point out the number of
direct and indirect employment it offers.

Yes, I understand.

- Are you going to the ground breaking, too?
- Yeah.

I'm going there for PR.
Isn't that ridiculous?

What if you start hiccuping
while making your report?

I'm sure that I will.
Since the report will be a total farce.

I'm going to cover the same event
at the same location as you are

but our purposes are
completely different.

Should I just quit?

I thought you said you were
going to stick it out.

You said you were going to stick it out
and bring about some changes.

I'm trying to stick it through,
but I don't see any means of doing it.

I'm forbidden to cover anything that matters,
and I'm sent out to do PR work instead.

Is this what a reporter does?
Are you sure I need to stick through this?

Yeah.

- Don't answer me so lightly like that.
- Ouch.

I want to make a real report
instead of all these fake ones.

A real report.

Here, eat.
That's our only means of survival.

Thanks.

The person who invented this
should be given the Nobel prize.

Have you seriously never had
a triangle kimbap before?

Bum Jo.

Wow, Choi In Ha!

It feels like I haven't seen you
in forever, right?

Yeah, it does.

I've been worried,
but you're looking good.

Not just my face,
but everything about me looks good.

Listen to you.

What are you doing here?

I had some business to take care of.

I'm going out to cover the ground breaking
of Bum Jo Shopping Mall right now.

Aren't you going?

No.

I'm glad I ran into you.
I have a favor to ask of you.

What favor?

By some chance, if you get to interview
my mother at the ceremony later...

can you pass along a message
to her for me?

What message?

Please, Team Leader... can you give me a tip?
Please? Please?

You know that I'd give it to you
if I had anything to give.

- But I really don't have anything today.
- Come on, I know you've got something.

Can you please give me something?

Just this once, okay?

Reporter Seo.

Seo Bum Jo!

I thought you quit being a reporter,
so what brings you by here?

What's your deal?
You totally cut ties with all of us.

- Are you coming back?
- No.

I came because I had some business
that I need to see Team Leader about.

Business?

What business do you have with me?

I...

came to turn myself in.

- What do you mean, turn yourself in?
- Turn yourself in?

Turn yourself in for what?

Do you remember the attack that happened
at the news station not too long ago?

Of course, I do.
It was the Jo Dae Gook case.

The one who ordered that to be done
was none other than me.

- What did you say?
- What?

No, that can't be.

Unbelievable.
It's totally unbelievable.

Isn't he a friend of yours?

Chairman Park Ro Sa's son, Seo Bum Jo, who
was also a reporter for MSC until recently...

just confessed that he ordered
the vicious attack to Jo Dae Gook.

He turned himself in to the police
and is making his confession now.

Why did you hire Jo Dae Gook
for your use?

To avoid receiving any sort of suspicion.

It wasn't very hard to find someone
who held a grudge against those three.

The world of being a reporter is
to eat, or be eaten.

What offer did you make to
Jo Dae Gook?

Then he offered some kind of
a deal to Jo Dae Gook?

He told him that he'd spend two years at most
behind bars for being a first time offender.

He also offered him a lifetime of employment
without having to go to college.

Since this guy had no future, he couldn't
refuse the offer that was made to him.

Ah... None of this makes any sense.

Have you checked
Jo Dae Gook's side of the story?

Yes, I couldn't believe it either,
so I checked with the Team Leader.

But according to the phone conversation
he had with Jo Dae Gook

Seo Bum Jo indeed make
the initial approach to him.

What perfect timing, isn't it?

He drops this bomb on the day
of his mother's ground breaking?

Senior Hyun Gyu.

Do we really need to accept this
as self-surrender?

Yes, I'm headed to the ground breaking
ceremony right now.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, Chairman Park's son just
turned himself in for attempted murder?

There are already too many
eyes watching as is.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

I'm no longer going to attend this event.
Turn the car around immediately.

Senator, the Police Commissioner for
the District of Seoul is on the line

and Chairman Park's son just turned
himself in for the crime of attempted murder.

What did you say?

- Remember how I told you to set it up?
- What's going on here?

I thought all the senators
were going to be coming

so why isn't anyone here?

No kidding.
They should've been here a while ago.

What is it?

Why aren't the senators here?
Try calling them right now.

Chairman Park.

Chairman Park, are you okay?

Help me up.

Over here!

Chairman Park, are you okay?

What's wrong with her?

Did something happen?

Yes, Cap Hwang.

Excuse me?
Seo Bum Jo turned himself in?

What does that mean?
Turned himself in for what?

- Yes, Cap.
- What? Turned himself in?

- Attempted murder?
- For that attack?

- That was Chairman Park's son?
- Interview Chairman Park?

- Seo Bum Jo?
- Yes, I understand.

- Seo Bum Jo, that bastard.
- Why? What does all this mean?

He turned himself in to the police and told
them that he ordered Jo Dae Gook's attack.

What?

He's not answering his phone.

I think he turned himself in
to spare his mother.

But why?

I'm glad I ran into you.

By some chance,
if you get to interview my mother...

then can you relay a message
to her for me?

- No, can't be.
- What is it?

I ran into Bum Jo earlier today,
and he asked me for a really odd favor.

A favor?
What kind of a favor?

Do you admit that everything
you just told me is the truth?

He told me to relay a message to
Chairman Park if I got to interview her.

Are you aware that your son just
turned himself in to the police?

Was this an act by your son alone?

Can you tell us why your son
ordered that attack on those reporters?

Why do you think that your son
ordered that attack?

Any idea why you think your son
ordered such an attack?

- Please move out of the way.
- No interviews.

Chairman Park, your son wanted me to
relay a message to you for him.

May I tell you what his
message was?

Seo Bum Jo?

Hey, you got to interview Seo Bum Jo?

By some chance, if you get to interview
my mother at the ceremony later...

can you relay a message
to her for me?

What message?

That everything I've possessed in my life
and everything I'll come to possess...

that I'll assume the responsibility
for them with her, together.

The message from your son was...

'Everything I've possessed in my life
and everything I'll come to possess...'

'Tell her that I'll assume the responsibility
for them with her, together.'

- What's that supposed to mean?
- Does it mean Chairman Park was a part of it?

Tell her that I'm sorry for having left her
alone and for not having realized it sooner.

He also told me to tell you that he's sorry
that he didn't know, and that you were alone.

Tell her that from now on...

I'll always be there with her.

Please tell her that for me.

He also wanted me to tell you that
he'll always be with you from now on.

- It means they are accomplices.
- Then Chairman Park had a part in it, too.

Is this for real?

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

Where's my son right now?

He's at the Han River district police station.

Please move out of our way!
Coming through.

I think Bum Jo wanted to make sure
to relay those messages to her.

But this interview... it probably won't
get any air time on MSC, right?

Yeah, you're probably right.

- Yes, I think she interviewed the son.
- It would seem that she was in on it, too.

- Yes, it was an attempted murder.
- The recent attack on those reporters.

Yes, she left for the police station,
and we're headed there now.

But since everyone else got the interview,
it's going to get plenty of air time.

So don't worry.

That's a relief.

[Seo Bum Jo]

Hey, you bastard.
What have you just done!

I can hear you, so lower your voice.

- Why didn't you answer your phone?
- I was in interrogation.

I'm being taken off to jail in a bit,
so this may be our last conversation.

Tell them that it's not the
truth right now.

I know why you're doing this...
but this isn't right.

If you know that,
then just keep it to yourself.

- Because this is the only way.
- Seo Bum Jo!

You should've told me otherwise.

That you still blamed her,
and that you still hated her.

You should've just told me that instead.

If you had...

then I might've turned a blind eye,
and kept ignoring it for a bit longer.

I don't have any ulterior motives, either.

I'm doing this because I just want to
reveal the truth to the world.

The good and the bad, for what it is.

In my own way...

I'm doing this to bring
the real truth to light.

Bum Jo.

Even though it was only for a short while...
I was still a reporter myself.

Just why are you doing all this?

Why?

Don't you remember what
I once told you?

That I'm on your side?

Imagine how loyal I must be to you...

for me to be doing this.

Do you finally believe me now?

I believed in you from the start,
you crazy bastard.
