To the man who got rid of the raging rat infestation,

the Castle Lord of Hamelin and the authority figures

rather than granting him the promised reward, punished him instead.

So the man who was kicked out of the castle played his pipe again.

Deathly OpposedK Group's Managing Director, Kang Hong Seok, stop the manipulation of the media!An evil corporation that pushes us to death.

All the village children who heard the sound of the pipe playing,

were enchanted by and started to follow it.

Pied Piper

At the construction site in the Philippines, an incident has occurred in which

Korean K Group employees were kidnapped.

Up to now there have been no accurate facts disclosed about the hostage takers.

It is speculated that the situation is an act of terrorism by an armed extremist organization

which recently has made it a regular habit of kidnapping and terrorizing foreigners.

Ransom of $5 million U.S. dollars has been asked for the 5 hostages.

It is reported that K Group has dispatched to the scene a professional negotiator

who led a successful Merger and Acquisition to attempt negotiation.

Yes, Chairman.

Hey, Expert Joo. I picked out a new plane for you. Is it good enough to ride?

I'm now called chairman, so you have to at least ride on a private plane...

Yeah, we should have used subcontractors sooner but this problem has just happened.

I can't ignore them because they work for the parent company. I put in a considerable sum.

I'm going out to war. The least you can do is give me enough ammunition, Chairman.

Those kids are guys who are famous for a very brutal M.O.

If we use this opportunity to become good acquaintances,

they will be useful in the future.

Don't try to persuade me, go convince them.

Why do you think I deal with you without the insurance company?

Don't do that and go by the book.

Because it's the first deal with them, we agree to the asking price for now,

but they will agree not to touch our employees in the future.

You said it yourself: if you can't negotiate a deal then even if God came, he wouldn't be able to either.

It's up to you how many people you rescue with that money.

Just give the world the impression that the company tried the best it could.

No...

Will that be all right. Public opinion...

Executive Managing Director Kang, what did you do?

Seong-Chan, is way better than any of you. Rather than putting on a show, he makes sure he always receives his end of the bargain.

Sinulog Festival, Cebu, Philippines

Hi, what can I get you?

Bloody Mary with Balkan vodka.

No, no such thing.

One million a shot.

Hi.

A negotiation starts from getting a good grasp of exactly what I

and the opposing party want.

It's easiest to face an opponent who doesn't know what he really wants.

Some opponents want you to show emotions like goodwill or friendship or trust.

But actually, you can give that anytime, because it's free

The problem is, that in most situations,

both sides getting what they want almost never happens.

Win-win is a lie that was made up by idealists.

Then the way to do it is to make the opponent accept my proposal

whether he wants to or not.

To make him believe on his own that he wants it.

Or to make him want something that he didn't want.

That is the nature of my negotiations.

I'm the negotiator Joo Seong Chan from K Group.

Is everybody doing safe and sound?

Well, I can't be sure since you showed up so late.

Here's the whiskey that I brought for you.

It's a rare one to see.

Mmmm, this one smells good.

Would you like some?

Let's get to our business. Did you bring the promised money?

Well, it's not the promised money;

it's your suggested money.

I want to see the hostages first.

Money first.

Once you pull that trigger,

it's going to be more worthless than an empty bag.

I think that's the last thing that you want to do.

Bring him a hostage.

Seems like we have a patient here.

So what? I bring the hostages, so give me the money.

Even by a glance, it looks like it's worth only one hostage. Am I wrong?

The best offer that we can do is this.

If there's anything else that you need, I can do it for you. I'm a man of my word.

Cut the crap!

I can kill you now and take the money!

Kill him!

Yes, you may.

Then why do you hold the trigger?

Do you know why? It's because you're a businessman.

If you kill me and take the money, the deal ends here.

But think about it. Next time you kidnap someone,

then you're going to be notorious for killing the negotiator and taking the money.

Then who's going to make a deal with you? Right?

Spare me.

Spare me.

For now, tell them to bring $800,000,

and if not, I'm going to kill them one by one.

Please, please! Call the company and persuade them.

If you shoot now,

the deal is over.

"It was a wrong judgment"

handed down according to political demands.

One law for the rich and another for the poor, are the words left by the Ji Kang Hun case.

In this case, two of the accomplices committed suicide and one turned himself in.

And Ji Kang Hun himself, was killed by two bullets.

Was this operation a success or a failure?

- Well, since the hostage was saved, wasn't it a good thing?- Well...

At the time, the media cornered Ji Kang Hun and his gang as rather vicious criminals.

But actually Ji Kang Hun's gang were merely petty criminals.

While the younger sibling of a powerful politician at the time embezzled 10 million US dollars and received a seven-year sentence,

for stealing 5000 US dollars, Ji Kang Hun received a 17 year sentence. That must be why he felt wronged.

While taking hostages, Ji Kang Hun did not ask for money, or anything political.

Political things. But rather, he wanted to let the world know about that injustice o

But would listening to him have changed anything?

Of course. Because crisis negotiation isn't like magic.

However, there is one thing that can be done.

Let's live.

Let's live and get through and bear this wretched world together.

When cooking rice in a rice cooker, there are times when it tastes good and times when it doesn't.

But letting the rice cooker explode because it tastes bad wouldn't solve anything, would it?

You might get really angry, and feel wronged and enraged,

and start to boil inside.

This is the point at which the wretched clogged rice cooker is about to explode. Like this here.

Letting the air out of this rice cooker, that is our job.

Go!

Let's drop the weapon and talk it out.

Why don't you drop yours then?

If not, I'll kill her.

Don't come close!

It could have been done five seconds quicker. Why didn't you shoot but just grappled him?

I'm sorry. But for some reason, I had this feeling that he wouldn't shoot the hostage.

Feeling? If the hostage had died that way, would you still just say, "I had a feeling," or something?

What if it was a real situation? What if the hostage and hostage-taker

were lovers or so if he had no intention of killing her?

Hey, does that make sense?

That is...

I can't explain it.

Everyone except Yeo Myeong Ha can leave.

How unfortunate.

But Honey, did you tell Myeong Ha about us dating?

Of course not, I was so scared Team Leader Han would know.

What if Yeo Myeong Ha doesn't make the SWAT team because of us?

That's why I said to stay out of this training.

Even in opposing teams, still in close proximity it's dangerous...

You keep thinking that way even in training, so Myeong Ha...

No matter how much I think about it, I don't think I'm a good fit for the SWAT team.

Huh?

I'm not trying to shake you up,

you may have failed this training mission, but your scores aren't bad. That's why,

Actually, there is another team I want to apply to.

Since you're the first of your class and a sharpshooter,

I will especially make a position for you in the SWAT team, even though you're a woman and...

Where do you want to go?

I'm sorry, but that's...

- Where, I asked?!-It's the crisis negotiation team, sir!

Which team?

Ah, the team that whines everyday asking for more manpower

but that nobody wants to apply to, that one?

Come in!

It looks like you're in an interview, I'll come back later.

No, it's a good thing you're here.

Sunbae, she says she wants to join the negotiation team.

As the team leader of the crisis negotiation team, what do you think?

I'd have to first hear from her to know.

Why she would want to leave such a cool SWAT team to come to our team.

That's to spend more time...

Uh... well,

Though it is an unpopular field, I felt that it was meaningful, and so..

How do you expect to negotiate if you speak like that? Don't you agree?

Team Leader Han, you and your rash temper.

More than someone who is eloquent, we need someone who can listen.

Someone who interrupts and cuts in while someone is talking would be disqualified for our team.

Unless you're giving life counseling to those bad people,

you have to cut into a weak spot right away!

It's because you're always that way that negotiations, or what not, you attack first then look.

Are we the FBI? Are we the NYPD?

We're sparingly spending people's blood tax money, and yet even that budget is not enough.

When we're already short-handed, what's the point of a good-for-nothing negotiations team?

Oh, now you're talking, Team Leader Han.

You keep spending the short budget to buy the heck out of state-of-the-art equipment,

and if there's any useful talent,

And all the time you do this thing called tactical training or whatever, putting on a show for the people in power.

- What?- Excuse me...

Since you're the head of the SWAT team that uses bodily attacks,

you want to get physical with even me, is that what you want?

Would you like to ignore our ranks and go fight?

- Really?- Pardon me...

You heard that I was called a task force tiger in the past, right?

Of course, I know. A tiger only whose lips flap...

-Hey, Team Leader Han, you jerk!-What?

Lieutenant Yeo Myeong Ha! Please listen to me for just one minute!

To tell you the truth, I didn't want to shoot.

Even if it were a real situation instead of training, the criminal might have had a reason,

and rather than using a gun, if it can be resolved using words, I'd like to do that.

If in both of your eyes, my skills or experience is lacking,

no matter where you place me, I'll do my best!

However, even if it is later, I will improve my skills and join the negotiation team!

Are you really going to take her?

Well, for now, I'll try using her and if she is any good...

If you try to return her later, I won't take her back.

Were you putting on an act to test me?

Did you catch on to it?

Isn't this the crisis negotiation team? I had to see your ability to think on foot in an emergency.

You were too much, Team Leader Oh. Am I that unreliable?

When it's just the two of us, you can speak comfortably.

I'd rather not.

To be honest, I didn't want you to veer from the wide and straight road to the narrow and crooked one.

I'll decide which path I take.

And to me, the path that Team Leader Oh is walking seems the coolest.

- But why are we going to the basement? - It's underground.

What are you punks doing not greeting us?

A new member of our team.

I'm Lieutenant Yeo Myeong Ha.

This is Sergeant Jo Jae Hee and this is Sergeant Choi Seong Mo.

Introduce yourselves.

Ah, this jerk.

Why is it so dirty in here? Such messy guys.

Hurry and hang that up.

Welcome.

Ah, see? 50,000 Won.

-Hey!-Oh, we made a bet, you see.

If my profiling (of you) put together from little bits of information Team Leader leaked is right or wrong...

Ah, geez, I mean, it was just for fun between us.

It was for real not just for fun.

-Hey.-Do you want me to read it to you?

Height is about 170cm, the weight is around 53kg?

- That's not true!-Toned mesodermic body type maintained through exercise

Rather low ability for oral communication relative to intellect, and strong aptitude in patience.

Breast...[Breast Size - C]

- Well, that one isn't..-What... cut that out...

Would you like me to teach you about sexual harassment in the workplace? - No.

Well, since everything else was right, good enough, right?

Hey, enough with the introductions. We have a ton of work to do, so

Teach her well so that she can start her job today.

Yes.

You just have to clean up.

I wanted to welcome you in a better way,

but our crisis negotiation team doesn't have an outing fund.

So in this small way, you understand?

Now. Let's go thin and long!

Thin and long!

You thought that there might be some urgent hostage crisis as soon as you came aboard right?

The reality is always reports and reports and reports.

Have to make a negotiation manual, have to send the other department a formal request for collaboration,

prepare a short-term support request and even make the negotiation curriculum materials.

But still, we'll get to go to a scene soon, right?

Can we just go to some scene? We have to be sent in order to go.

When a situation comes up in the police department,

they usually send the task force or SWAT team first.

But now we have to make them come looking for us first.

That's why we're gathered here to cheer ourselves on.

Although I'm not sure how many years we've been cheering on like this.

[This morning, the Korean K Group employees who had been kidnapped by an armed terrorist group...]Wow!

[in the Philippines were...]A hot case!

[dramatically released, and a short while ago via private jet, arrived at Incheon Airport safely...]

Wow, who did the negotiating?

He's obviously someone who works for the insurance companies like Lloyd.

No, it says he's a freelancer. Supposedly, he is a very famous corporate negotiator.

It's coming on now.

It has been revealed that they were released...[Coming soon, press release with the professional negotiator]

Was he part of the police, too?

He looks like a civilian to me. And at most, he looks like he's in his mid-thirties.

Don't you need a lot of experience to work a hostage situation?

While working internationally

from mergers and acquisitions, labor-management disputes...

to wage negotiations, acts of terror, hostage situations, there's nothing he hasn't done.

While we're barely called out three or four times, he's on a level...

About similar to us, right?

Yeah, that young guy seems outstanding. He's pretty cool.

I think Team Leader Oh is much more cool.

We'll have our day soon, too. Right?

Yeah.

Please give us details.

Oh, he's coming now!

Where are the released hostages now?

The employees are currently being transferred to the hospital to focus on treatment and rest.

I feel the process of negotiation must have been very dramatic. I'd like to hear the details.

The person who directly negotiated at the scene will explain it himself.

[Press Release on the Safe Return of Kidnapped K Group Employees]

I heard that you had participated in the M&A negotiations between K group subsidiary K Construction and Seobu Construction.

In this negotiation where your own life was in danger,

did you decide to act because of your ties to K group?

The Chairman made an earnest plea to me

to bring his employees back alive.

You all know the Chairman's personality.

My job is to persuade people,

but my position is one that is always being persuaded by Chairman Seo.

I am reporter Yoon Hee Seong with TNN.

First of all, you worked hard risking danger and rescuing four lives in a difficult hostage negotiation.

Thank you.

The press materials say that the deceased employee Jung Chan Ho's cause of death was an endemic disease. Is that true?

Before the deceased was kidnapped, he was treated for a high fever by the medical staff in the area,

and was diagnosed as having a tropical disease endemic to the area.

I'm aware that due to the fact that he couldn't get adequate care during his captivity, the patient died.

Are you sure that no problems arose regarding his safety during the negotiation round?

What is it that you want to say?

It is known that the ransom sum was purported to be quite big, how much did you actually give in exchange for the hostages?

When a child cries and throws a tantrum,

do you know what happens if you buy them everything they want? They continue having bad behavior.

Aren't you saying that you didn't pay the ransom for all five of them, right?

If you give them everything they ask for,

the culprits will target many more potential hostages.

Why? Because that would be easy business. But what I did was change that to tough business.

One person's life could have been sacrificed...

That's right. That one person could have been me.

But I went to rescue. Although one person was sacrificed,

I rescued the four surviving people.

Are you asking why I couldn't bring Jeong Chan Ho back?

Because I'm not a god. Then.

Did you collect his body?

What the...

What I know is that due to fear of an outbreak, the hostage takers buried the body.

The fact that I wasn't able to rescue the person before

and the fact that I wasn't able to recover the remains,

I apologize to his bereaved family, to K Group, and to our citizens.

Rest in peace.

Is that apology sincere?

Nothing further.

We'll end the press conference here.

Thank you for your hard work.

Aren't his looks pretty good?

His title is cool, too.

After rescuing hostages, the negotiator returns! It's a storyline suitable for a Hollywood movie

He's so cool.

Cut the crap!

Save me!

Joo Eun

You should have waited.

How did I get home last night?

You were a bigger pain, worse than those drunkards who live at the police station.

How does the pollack soup that a troublemaker made taste like?

Wow...

By the way, why does someone who likes to sleep in want to do this hard work that knows of no day or night?

The negotiations are over and done with.

But in return, you better not get hurt.

Of course, thin and long.

Bingo.

You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together.

No, thank you. The reason for calling me,

This is my brother-in-law, you know him, right?

It's been a long time, Executive Managing Director.

You did well at the press conference. You look good on camera.

Thank you.

This person is Assemblyman Jeong.

I'm Joo Seong Chan.

Well... I was very impressed with your negotiation.

Take a seat.

Our National Assembly needs more talent like that.

The ruling and opposition parties meet and fight day in day out. Why don't you take him and use him?

So he can clear all the troublesome problems in one fell swoop.

His price is too high.

What's so good about being a regular? If I can't borrow your brain?

I'm talking about that hotel and casino out front there.

It keeps getting delayed because of all the noisy opposition.

Are you talking about the New Town Casino?

Yeah, you know about that, too? What do you think I should do about it?

If you don't want to get involved, just give me a small tip.

You had taught me this, Chairman.

Do not even offer flattery for free.

I did.-The compensation that Jeong Chan Ho's family will receive. Please take extra care with it.

Please take care of it as humanely as possible.

Why are you doing things you never did before?

Well, I got it.

It's a technique we commonly use in our field,

called, getting your foot in the door.

After offering a small favor the opponent can't refuse,

slowly the intensity of the favor is increased.

- So you're saying...- You will suggest a conditional, temporary opening.

It's getting just one foot in the door.

Stop here for a moment.

I'm wondering if it isn't so helpful to have a negotiator involved with the media.

Depending on the situation, it could be helpful.

Does it make you uncomfortable?

Is there anyone you're seeing these days?

Why? So you can do a background check? I have another appointment, so.

- Do Joo Seong Chan and Assemblyman Jeong know each other, to begin with?- Well, I'm not sure.

I understand that he never worked in the political sphere.

What a pain. After scaping the bottom of his plate, he's looking for useless excuses to complain.

- What is he so unsatisfied with?- I don't know. He just demands to see the Chef no matter what.

Oppa.

-What about the customer?-He left.

- What did you tell him?- He must have thought I was the manager, so he got a hold of me,

and poured out all these complaints.

He ranted on about how the restaurant could employ a chef who didn't even know the basics.

- And so?-So I listened calmly, and said,

the next time he comes, I'd especially give him food made by a chef

who worked three years in a New York 2-star Michelin rated restaurant.

- That's what this is.-That's what I mean.

The next time that customer comes he'll say that indeed it is different.

He'll say it's really different from the newbie's dish that time, and that this is the true taste of New York.

Sit down. Come on, sit down.

But you know, I almost really died there.

Seeing the barrel of the gun in front of my eyes,

I could only think of your face.

When you left you said it wasn't dangerous at all.

For not being able to spend your birthday together,

I feel so regretful and sorry.

But coming back alive and sitting right in front of you, what better gift is there?

- Don't you agree?-Seriously. You leave me speechless.

You don't like it?

I told you I wanted a ring even if it's a cheap one. Is that so hard?

Don't you already know? My fingers are ugly so rings don't look good on me.

Oppa, when I'm with you I seem to get dragged along.

How can someone know and do everything that I want? That was comfortable and nice.

There's a mood to today's weather, isn't there? Let's take our time to talk about it on a drive later.

But, why is it that I don't really know what kind of person Joo Seong Chan is?

Isn't it better to talk about this quietly when we're alone?

I know what you're afraid of. But don't be.

What are you talking about? What am I afraid of?

In your world, everything is give and take. And there is no relationship that isn't that.

That way you won't be shaken by anyone and you can objectively negotiate then.

Because you have to be able to turn your back whenever you need to.

But, even though I can't give you anything, or even though I can't prove anything,

someone who trusts you, someone who is willing to risk their life for you,

don't you need at least one person like that?

I want to meet your father and mother.-And our marriage...

Wait, wait a second. A phone call

Hello?

It's an important call so just a moment.

You should've told them it's non-negotiable.

Okay, we'll see...

I thought we were done talking about maternity leave.

I have to hold out as long as I can, to keep my position.

You already know that, so annoying.

I don't know. The baby's kicking, hurry up and hang up. I'm busy. Gosh!

- He's so sensitive I can't stand it. He's the one who had morning sickness, too.

Did he? Team Leader Han?-Don't even go there.

Whenever he gets home, even though I'm the pregnant one, he gets nauseous.

Excuse me, listen to me.

I said to listen to what I have to say!

Before I blow this whole place up!

I said to listen to me!

Before I blow this whole place up!

Are you okay?

You three are family?

Yes.

- Remain here.- Could you please let just my wife and child..

Just a moment.

This is 911. Hello?

- What is it?-Wow... now someone's even whistling.

If it is a false alarm, under the disruption of civil service law,

it can result in a maximum of five years in prison, or 10 million won maximum fine...

What? Could you repeat that please?

Joo Eun! What is it, are you okay?

Oppa.

Look here, let's discuss this.

My name is Joo Seong Chan, and I'm an expert in negotiations.

What is it that you want? I don't know why you're doing this,

but I can be a lot more helpful in getting what you want.

In return for releasing the women and child, could I go in?

What I want is, right now out of the five people in here,

I'm going to kill one of them.

Then the remaining four survivors will leave here alive.

I'll give you five minutes.

Why don't you try choosing whom I should kill?

Save me!

It appears that five hostages are inside the restaurant.

The hostage-taker is a man in his mid-thirties, 175cm tall, and wearing a bomb vest.

Evacuate the civilians, and set up the police barricade as far back away from the scene as possible.

Yes, sir.

The world has really changed. Suicide vests being used.

If possible please avoid a face to face negotiation.-I'll use my discretion.

Please be sure to don an NIJ level three bulletproof vest.

In case there's a need for an approach, we'll be on standby.

Yeah, let's see some of your expensive high-tech toys.

If possible, please return the equipment without a scratch.

Got it.

Mr. Jeong Hyeon Ho, can we calmly talk?

You ignored me when I was begging you to save my brother.

And now you want to talk to me?

I wasn't the one who killed your brother.

I did the best I could to save you and your brother and the other employees.

Even more than the company or the hostage takers, I find you more loathesome!

Of course, I completely understand that you feel that way.

You have one minute left. Whom do you want to kill?

It would be better if you decided quickly.

Those people have done nothing wrong, have they?

That was the same with us.

All five of them will die this way!

If you blow that up, you'll die, too!

I already decided to follow my brother after that day.

Now. Ten seconds. Nine seconds.

Please!

- You're not someone who would kill innocent people.-Seven seconds, six seconds, five seconds.

- Your deceased brother wouldn't want you to do this.-Four seconds, three,

-Two, one!-The child.

That child.

- I'll remain instead. Please, the child...- What?

Are you serious?

You don't want the child to die either.

Let's change the rule. One person every ten minutes, I'll choose a person to live.

Send the child out first.

Just choose all four people.

A person's life is at stake.

Please give me time to think it through carefully.

Five minutes.

It's okay.

As expected, you're very good at negotiating.

Mom!

You should have used that skill with us.

For the police line,

please start there and stretch it widely to over there.

Please back off a little.

There, he's coming out with the child!

Did you just come from inside? What about the other people?

I don't have time to explain. First, this child.

Where are you going?

You came out on the news...

Let go!

You can't go in!

- What's going on? - Are you in charge?

Yes, I'm Team Leader Oh Jeong Hak of the crisis negotiation team.

You know who I am right?

I've been negotiating with the hostage taker since the beginning of this situation.

It's dangerous to stop or change the negotiator now.

The police will make that decision.

Okay, first let's hear the situation.

The criminal was a hostage in the Philippine incident not long ago.

He's doing that because he's frustrated his brother died during the negotiation. His target is me.

If it's because of his resentment towards you, then the chances he'll spring the bomb in front of you

vs. doing so without your presence, which is bigger? Since you're an expert, you should know that much.

Life or death, I said that I would go! My girlfriend is in there, too!

That's even more reason you can't do it. Your girlfriend as well as several lives are at stake.

In this state could you remain calm, and proceed to negotiate?

No matter how skilled a cardiothoracic surgeon you are, you can't perform heart surgery on your own family.

He said that if one person is chosen to die within five minutes, he would release the rest of them.

However, I changed the terms and said I'd choose one person to save each five minutes.

So I brought the child out first.

You did well. You got past that first deadline without any mishap, and

since there's one hostage released, the situation looks quite optimistic.

I said that I would go back in there.

If I break the promise, it could become dangerous

It isn't that you broke your promise. It's that when we arrived, the situation changed.

We will help the kidnapper understand this new changed situation and proceed with the negotiations from there.

Joo Seong Chan, please share your information with our team.

That will be best for everyone's safety.

Why is this jerk not coming?

You're Joo Seong Chan's girlfriend right? Call him.

Call him quickly!

You're Hyeon Ho right?

If you were in this situation, would you have called your brother?

- It doesn't matter if all these people die because of him?- Please do as he says.

If only one person has to remain, I'll stay.

What?

These people, let all of them go.

Sergeant Choi, is the CCTV ready?

Team Leader, this bomb vest looks real.

I'll go in too, sir.

No, I'm going in by myself.Sergeant Jo will be my supporting negotiator,

and I'll leave the radio channel open. So make sure that I can communicate with SWAT and the director of ops.

- Yes, I've got it.-If all else fails, we received word from the Commissioner to take him out.

It's probably because the police commissioner is feeling uneasy, so please buy us some time on that front.

Yes, sir.

- Team Leader,-You take care of Joo Seong Chan. Don't let him do anything rash.

And if there is any other information, let Sergeant Jo know.

Yes, look... be careful, Uncle.

They got the culprit to release three hostages.

Ji Min.

Mom!

You've had a tough time. How's the situation in there?

One person is still there.

Go to your kid.

It's okay.

How is the situation inside? Currently, how many hostages remain in there?

How do you feel right now?

Don't we have to go too?

Stay here.

What's going on?

What's the matter?

The culprit released more hostages.

What did you say? Right now...

You said your girlfriend's name was Joo Eun, right?

She said that she would stay back alone.

- You cant go. - Move.

Let go!

So in the end, he doesn't show up. That filthy garbage.

What did you mean when you said that he was

more loathesome than the company or hostage takers?

He must not have told you either.

You don't know what kind of person that jerk is right?

I may not know what's going on but,

it's probably a misunderstanding.

I'm Team Leader Oh Jeong Hak of the Seoul PD crisis negotiation team.

- Bring Joo Seong Chan here! - Ah!

I came to talk to you in place of Joo Seong Chan.

Bring out that jerk!

It appears you have strong resentment and anger towards Joo Seong Chan.

Isn't he the one who rescued you and your colleagues in the Philippine hostage incident?

Could you tell me why you have such anger towards your lifesaver?

What? Lifesaver? Lifesaver?!

If you don't help me, everyone will be in more danger.

Alright.

Call him. Call him quickly!

Call him!!

You rescued that person, didn't you? So why in the world is he doing that?

What are you doing there hiding?

Don't hang up the phone and go where there is no police right now.

We have to finish what we were talking about.

Oh, Kyung Hoon, I'm a little busy now, let's talk later.

You have to hurry and give us the information we need to know so we can negotiate...

I have to urgently go to the bathroom now. I'll be back soon.

The hostage is too close to him, it's too dangerous to get him.

Keep watching the target's condition closely and report to me.

The Commissioner ordered to shoot him as soon as he shows signs of agitation.

When I give my order, subdue him and simultaneously get a hold of the explosive device!

You cannot hesitate even 0.1 second before eliminating the bomb.

Hey! Hold on.

We'll all back off.

Then, I'm coming that way.

Hyeon Ho, why don't you speak with me?

What on earth happened in the Philippines incident and your older brother...

how he died, I'd like to hear the details.

You really want to hear it?

You all treat that jerk like a hero,

and you don't care about my dead brother's story!

No, I'd like to hear it.

And also, if there is something that needs to be known,

I'll help you to get the true story out to the world.

My brother... even when everyone around him told him to return to Korea first

was a person who hung in with that sick body because he didn't want to add to other people's workloads.

To kill someone like that?

Kill? Who are you saying killed your brother?

Then are you saying that he didn't die of an endemic disease?

Are you saying a terrorist did that?

No, Joo Seong Chan! That jerk killed him.

That... What do you mean by that?

That phone,

drop the phone and then let's talk.

I'm alone.

Your girlfriend is about to die and aren't you a little too relaxed?

What is it that you want?

If compensation is what you want, I will ask K Group, no, I will pay you personally.

You still put dollar amounts on people's lives.

Thanks to that, you must have become a consummate negotiator.

I don't care if you make a sarcastic remark. I saved the maximum number that I could save anyway.

One victim.

Could you say the same thing if that one person was someone you love?

Then should I have let the remaining four die? You tell me what I should have done?!

Fine, you're saying to the very end that you made the right decision.

Thanks to that your woman remains behind alone getting ready to die.

Put her on. Let me say a few words

Don't try to pull a fast one. I know all about the SWAT team making their move.

There are TV cameras around, right?

I'll give you one minute from now. Confess what you did wrong in that time.

Joo Eun hasn't done anything wrong. Please. Please!

56 seconds, 55 seconds...

Whether the remaining hostage will end up a survivor or a victim... depends on your choice.

Hello, Hello!

49 seconds, 48 seconds

44 seconds, 43 seconds

What's the matter?

What's the matter? If it's related to the negotiation, we need to know.

Please I'm asking you, One minute... No, 30 seconds.

You know me right? Not long ago, you saw me at the press conference.

I am Joo Seong Chan who was in charge of the Philippine hostage negotiation case.

What I'm about to say now is going to be a huge scoop.

So film it well.

Regarding that incident, there are some portions I wasn't able to tell you.

I'm not a hero.

Rather I'm a con artist and a scammer who cheats.

Among the ransom money of $5 million the kidnappers demanded for five people, K Group, from the very beginning,

supplied only $1 million, the price of just one person's life.

Chairman Seo Geon Il said it didn't matter how many I rescued with that money.

He said that all I had to do was to plant the image that the company had done all they could.

This just in. In the Philippine hostage incident,

So is there or isn't there any other station that reported on it?!

Right now, through our reporter reporting from outside...

Tell them they will have to face the music if they report on it without checking the accurate facts.

The maximum number of people whom I judged I could save with that money...

was four. But the premise was...

Cut the crap!

Please...

that the kidnappers, angered by the small ransom money, would kill one of the hostages.

Hyung!!!

That was the negotiating strategy I set up

before entering the criminals' base.

Hyung!!

Hyung...

The moment you shot at people, our deal ended.

Okay, I ruined one. So I'm giving you a discount.

I wanted the package that comes in five. With the first price.

I'm giving you four for the price of one. It's for free.

It doesn't work like that.

We'll leave the ransom and that we were negotiating just between us.

The dead one, let's say,

died from an endemic disease. Not during the negotiation.

You might want to like this scenario, too.

Listen, everybody knows it's give and take.

Even kids know, right?

Why don't we go for a happy medium?

What you just said now, is it all true?

However, even if I were to go back to that scene,

there could not be a better outcome than that.

If there was one thing I missed, it's that rather than the terrorist,

I should have first persuaded the company, no, the Chairman.

That your employees are not numbers,

but living persons.

Each and every one was

a person with family anxiously waiting for them.

I've enjoyed hearing your excuses.

But what do I do? Nowhere is reporting on this.

What, what? He-Hello.

Joo Seong Chan, who were you on the phone with just now?

Hello, He-Hello!

Hey you jerk, answer me!

This bad guy,

till the end, he didn't answer the phone.

I'm sorry.

Hyeon Ho, I... I'm coming in.

Hyeon Ho.

Hyeon Ho, I fully understand how your feel.

However, your late brother's family,

who will care for them and

If something bad happens even to you, the pain your family will face,

what are you going to do about that? So please,

You're exactly the same, you jerks!!

Team Leader!

What is this?

- Move!- Team Leader!!!- Hey, turn up the volume! Report the situation, you brat!

Uncle!!!!!!!

You still don't know what you did wrong

You... Who are you?!

Preview

It's not just a tragic incident!

Someone's behind it, I said.

You have to find out!!!

It's about time we changed the main news anchorman. I'm thinking of recommending you.

Are you telling me to make a deal?

Is asking the administrative authority to withdraw the permit to open the Casino and...

You should give me extra, a baker's dozen, you know?

Do you know how small the profit margin is? No, I can't do that.

- No.- But a regular will be your profit.

Why are you living that way? What are you looking for?

Please film this video.

The police are forcefully arresting a citizen without telling him the reason for it.

A bank robbery is reported from Segi Bank. Please confirm.

Where is this punk right now?

If one person comes in, I'm going to kill everyone!

I was wondering if I should help you?

To celebrate my return, at a shockingly discounted price...
