Original subtitles

Why did you do it?

What?

You said to trust you and focus on the captor!

So it worked out well.

You're the same as back then.

I had almost persuaded him.

Why, you want to befriend a robber and be his bestie? Get a hold of yourself.

What you have to care about is not the armed robber,

but the safety of innocent civilians.

Since when have you had even a smidgen of interest in civilians' safety?

Just why did you interfere?

What are you scheming?

What is important in our job is not the intent but the result.

You have not changed one bit even after undergoing that ordeal.

It seems the initial response of the police was at least a little bit problematical.

Uh well, because bank robberies are not common in our country...

it's is true that there was a little confusion,

but our police who are very well trained ordinarily...

In my opinion, from the media control and such...

it seems the strategy changed all of a sudden.

As the team leader, did you lead the operation yourself?

Yes, well... rather than saying I did it alone...

negotiation is all about team play, team play!

By the way, how long has it been since you became the negotiation team's leader?

Ah, yes, that...

that is... I was appointed this week, yes.

I understand. Thank you.

That has been Team Leader Inspector Gong Jae Man of the Crisis Negotiation Team.

Is it over?

What kind of interview is like this? Jeez.

Episode 3

What you said was right.

The important thing is to safeguard the citizens' safety.

Thank you for acknowledging it, but I'm a bit busy...

But, haven't you forgotten something?

If I have forgotten it, that means it's not that important.

You are under arrest, Mr. Joo Seong Chan.

Aish, seriously, are you going to do this to me?

Okay, if we are going to go, let's go quickly.

Joo Seong Chan was taken in by the police.

Such a blundering...!

In any event, it took him as long as one year to re-surface, so keep an eye on him.

That incident... Are you going to make him pay for exposing the behind-the-scenes of the hostage negotiation?

Are we mobsters or something? Should I cut off that punk's finger or something?

We will have to do business, business!

The police are not the only ones who watch over dangerous scenes of crimes.

Like the two reporters of our TNN, who personally became hostages

and relayed live the situations at the scene

the news media that fight for the public's rights to know also...

Aish, you call the likes of that news media...

- I'll say..., aish...[Today's Century Bank incident could be overcome thanks to the Crisis Negotiation Team's great work.]

However, had the police responded actively from the beginning...

Pipe...

Pied Piper.

Some misgivings remain...

Now, you should tell me.

Why have you been going around all this time, pretending to be a policeman.

How is that related to the Le Ciel Restaurant incident from one year ago...

Aren't you tired?

As for me, maybe because I worked a hostage case the first time in a long while... it's a bit hard on me.

The accomplice you said you were chasing... Is he related to today's case, too?

Why are you asking me that? You should ask the culprit.

By the way, I lent a helping hand, too.

Let's see the culprit's face once.

Look, investigation is not our work.

On top of it, you're not even a police officer.

He probably won't open his mouth easily.

If you let me talk to the culprit,

I may be able to tell you the story you want to hear.

Right now, Mr. Joo Seong Chan, do I look like I'm negotiating with you?

What in life is not about negotiation?

Then, give me enough basis so I won't have to put you behind bars.

By any chance, the story of the Pied Piper...

Do you know it? Once upon a time, in a place called Hamelin, Germany...

I have read the story, too, when I was young.

Why that story all of a sudden...

Just listen.

The Pied Piper who had gotten rid of the raging rat infestation in the town

- in the end played the same pipe to kidnap the children.- So?

I'm saying he controlled the people all he wanted without lifting a finger.

Oh, no, to play the pipe, he must have moved his fingers.

If you have nothing to say, just say you have nothing to say.

If it was just something you said to save your skin in each situation,

can't you please at least tell me that is what it was?

The one I'm chasing after... is none other than that knave.

Pied Piper,

He is the accomplice to this case, no, let's say he's the mastermind.

First of all, the day of the crime was right after the Lunar New Year, so banks had the most cash out of any day of the year.

Blocking the bank employee's initial report of the crime, managing the outside situations, etc.

To call him a first-timer, he was excessively organized.

And the gun... Because of the initial information about him buying a BB gun.

He was mistakenly known as the BB gun bank robber.

Do you think that was a coincidence?

Haven't you, by any chance, considered it as a red herring planned to confuse the police response?

Undoubtedly, there is a mastermind controlling him.

And I am absolutely sure that the same person was involved in the incident where Team Leader Oh died.

So, what basis do you have?

The voice from the phone call,

The person who first reported this crime whistled.

That so-called Pied Piper. Like that bastard who called me on the phone had done...

112 (Crime Report) Call Center. Hello?

- What's wrong?- After all sorts of pranks, now, someone is whistling.

From mere whistling, you want me to believe such a ludicrous story?

So, let's go confirm it.

Go where?

To catch him by the tail.

Your motive and preparations before the crime, how you got the weapon... Tell me.

We're asking where you got the gun. Gun, gun, gun! Aish!

Let go!

- Hyung!- Okay, okay.- Come outside for now.

I guess you're having a hard time assessing the trouble you are in right now. Listen up, huh!

You got busted while holding hostages in a bank.

The whole nation saw it live.

And because of you, an innocent person almost died!

Even one of the SWAT team...

suffered a gunshot wound.

Now, you get it, right? Understood? Now, tell me, where did you get the gun?

It was not my fault... I don't know anything!

- This son of a... Let go!- Wait, wait!

Hyung, I told you you can't act like this.

He'll spill everything if we beat him up! Why suffer a headache?

Hyung, doing things this way will get you in big trouble, nowadays.

Hey, because we act so soft like that all the time,

everyone thinks the police are a bunch of shrinking violets! Move aside.

Gosh, seriously, your temper... I told you, you can't...

Don't you think there is a reason why he's not opening his mouth?

- Why is he still here?- Ah, that...

Suspect interrogation is a kind of negotiation, too.

Why don't you leave it to me?

You will solve everything by that scheming brain and silver tongue of yours?

Why? Ordering around the police at a scene, was that fun?

You liked it? Hey, can a civilian interfere with police investigation like this?

- That won't do? - That won't do.

Thoroughly check who gets to go in and out of the interrogation room.

So not every dog or cow can waltz in.

So, why are you having such a hard time doing what even a dog or cow can solve?

This damn...

Coming to think of it, this fella is charged with impersonating a police officer, right?

I will play with you as soon as the urgent fire is put out. So get a number and wait for your turn.

Drag him along and lock him up.

- Hyung, you can't beat him up, okay?- Okay, okay, I got it.

I guess we won't be able to catch even a glimpse of that tail.

For the time being, he won't open his mouth easily anyway.

Let's go.

This is better than I expected.

Does the heating work?

Pied piper... really is not something you made up, right?

Believe it or not is your business.

What's important is his work isn't over, it's just starting.

And there is no guaranty that the next time will work out as well as this time.

Let's assume that a big situation developed. Is there any negotiator who can be sent to the scene right away?

I or our team members can...

In those situations, we need someone who's done it before, not someone who merely says they can.

Then, how does joining our team sound?

If someone is really behind all these cases, then directly inside the police...

Join an inefficient, bureaucratic organization,

and on top of it, an about to be dissolved team... and what do you want me to do inside such an organization?

Catch the jerk, of course.

Why don't you stop tying me down?

At least, with your ability, you can save people.

The Pied Piper, the reason you want to catch him, isn't it to prevent innocent victims?

I think the one who's making an innocent victim (out of me) is you.

What do you mean by opening a love hotel/gambling den within 200 meters of a school?

What do you mean by it? What do you mean?

Withdraw the casino opening permit!

Withdraw it! Withdraw!

Kang Hong Seok, wake up your conscience!

Wake up! Wake up!

They should tone it down a bit...

What do you mean by it? What do you mean?

Government and K Group, withdraw the casino opening permit!

Why do you have so many pictures that are the same?

They're different..

This one the mouth is like this, that one the eyebrows are like this.

What do you mean by opening a love hotel/gambling hall?

What do you mean by it? What do you mean?

Government and K Group, withdraw the casino opening permit!

How many times have I told them not to go easy on them?

Hotel Casino Out! Gambling Hall Out!

What do you mean by opening a love hotel/gambling hall within 200 meters of a school?

What do you mean by it? What do you mean?

Withdraw the casino opening permit!

Withdraw it! Withdraw!

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Ah, yes, Chairman.

You did a useless thing again?

Oh, that is... I will make sure that it won't affect the opening schedule.

Yeah, right, that's how it will go! Get back here right now!

Ah, I, um...

Go out.

Yes.

What's with you? Are you crazy?

Do you know who is riding in this car?

By any chance, have you seen my mother?

Who? Ah, this person.

Are you okay? You're not hurt, right?

But do you know the casino here... what kind of place it is?

As for me, I know.

Ah, yes, I see.

Then, be careful driving.

Let's go.

[Dead set against]

Hey, hey! Is that how I taught you?

Don't you know even the smallest things can bring out accusations of acting high and mighty and stuff?

I apologize.

What is that? What's with that car?

Hey, hey, hey, report that!

Kang Hong Seok, wake up your conscience! Wake up! Wake up!

Careful! Be careful.

Hello?

Are you okay?

If you come near, I'll hurt you all!!!

Everyone get out! Hurry!

Get out, get out! Hurry!

Hurry, run, run!

Any reporting calls?

Not separately, but the police who were already at the scene because of a demonstration are responding.

Then, they could have continued to respond and resolved it well. What kind of demonstration?

It's a long-standing matter. The hotel is opening a casino.

A citizens' organization is up in arms claiming they bribed people to get good public opinion.

Isn't that the demonstrators' doing? My feeler says so.

Don't you think it can be a casino customer who lost money gambling?

And no confirmed profile of the culprit is available as of yet.

I thought comparatively there would not be much work, but as soon as I get here, big things keep blowing up left and right.

Team Leader.

What about bringing Joo Seong Chan along?

What?

Why?

Do you want to advertise that the Korean police are incompetent?

No, why are you releasing him?

Ah, um, that...

Because so many people are hankering for me...

Why? Is something wrong?

An incident, where a car crashed into the lobby of Golden Hill Hotel in New Town.

Have you checked the reporting call? The whistling sound?

- No.- Work hard.

You're really just going to leave?

I have a call.

Yes, Chairman.

Between you and me, how can it be so difficult to hear each other's voice? Come see me for a bit.

I'm sorry, but right now, I...

When I summon you, don't you know you have to come running immediately?

I didn't get you out just because.

I understand.

Chairman, about calling Joo Seong Chan...

Why? Can't you see it's to clean up your poop?

I already asked for the police's cooperation and I can take care of it well myself.

How do you think the demonstrators found out about your spreading money around?

The office of Commissioner Jeong's secretary leaked it to the citizens' group!

On top of it, there was this accident and all the media will be there in any minute.

If we leave it like this, it's just a matter of time before we lose the game.

If you got it, go and manage newspapers and TV stations!

Yes.

Uncle.

Oh Seo Joon, you are home.

Can I get you some tea?

No, the chairman instructed me to do something. Next time.

The back seat of the car is filled with inflammable materials, so going in there right away is dangerous.

As of yet, the driver has not made any particular move.

Uish, if he wanted to die, he should have just died alone, meekly. Do a negotiation or not?

I'll try it.

How long has it been?

Since you had people follow me so much, I feel as though I have seen you often.

The chairman is waiting for you.

Are you okay?

I am a crisis negotiator Lieutenant Yeo Myeong Hwa of the Seoul PD.

Sir, are you okay? I came to help.

People... immediately

He sent me that man...

Then, go ahead and talk.

It's your first time seeing Seo Joon since he was a little baby, right? He's all grown up now.

Right.

Earlier, I am sorry for having caused you trouble.

What?

Are you talking about how you announced to the whole world that I had not given you enough ransom money?

The culprit held Joo Yeon hostage and threatened me. So I had no other way...

Aigo, kid, put that away, away.

A landlord who gets worked up over trivial things

may become a 1000-acre rich, but not 10000-acre rich, people say.

Still, because the bomb went off and you disappeared,

sealing up lips here and there cost me a fair amount.

So, what is it that you want?

You know about the big commotion going now on at my hotel casino?

Yes, I've heard so I know.

I can't tolerate any problem over there, you know, right?

I understand that there is a team in the PD that takes care of such problems.

I hear that you have been friendly with them lately.

I was just wasting time, without being able to open the casino formally because of the negative public opinion.

I'm planning to take this opportunity and borrow your hand to turn the tables in one fell swoop.

But, how would I do that?

What do you think will happen if something like this came out of the car that smashed into the lobby?

[Hotel Casino Out! Gambling Hall Out!]

Are you saying I should make this into something the demonstrators did?

Then, we won't have any more noise, either, from now on.

Why are you obsessing this much over that casino business?

Do you remember when we first started redevelopment?

I still cannot forget it.

What a green newbie employee impertinently said to me.

I made a decision thanks to what he said.

What do you mean by opening a love hotel/gambling hall in a school zone?

What do you mean by it? What do you mean?

What did the Commissioner say?

Considering the place, take care of it quietly and

find out the criminal motive, first, he said. How is it going?

No matter how we look at it, I think he is in an incapacitated condition.

First of all, a lot of gas is leaking around the car

so I asked for backup.

Move out of the way.

- Hey, Lieutenant Yeo. - Yes, Team Leader.

That guy, didn't he lose money, get drunk and come back? Try smelling his breath.

Well, it seems like it could be because of the gas...

He's in a strange state and he may do something unexpected. Please hold back the demonstrators outside.

Okay, I got it. No matter what, first find out if he is a demonstrator or a gambler.

That is... what if he is neither?

Why? Did you find something?

No, I just have this feeling...

Feeling, that damned feeling! Feeling my ass! Enough!

First, make him say something.

Yes.

Excuse me, Sir. Can you hear me?

Are you, by any chance, here because of the casino?

Mom... mom, you found out who those bastards were.

- What did you say?- Mom...

By bastards, whom are you referring to?

Sir, do you know where you are?

Mom... Mom...

He seems to have nothing to do with the casino.

Sergeant Choi, you still don't have the crisis maker's profile?

You are asking me why I obsess over

a mere small casino so much?

Aigo, if I... stay this weak and feeble and pass on...

what will happen to the company?

I wish I could tidy it up and pass it on to Seo Joon.

But if I go by the book, everyone will fight to get the biggest share

and it's obvious the company will get hit with a tax bomb.

As for me, I had to dirty my hands to grow this group.

But later when Seo Joon leads it,

shouldn't it be clean without even one fleck of dust?

Are you thinking of

using the casino as a kind of money laundering outfit?

When I was a loan shark, you know,

the cash I raked in was staggering.

If I spread them all out and looked at them,

aigoo, the notes, as if one, were all torn,

soaked with sweat and blood.

Aigoo, and the smell on top of it... Such a disagreeable sight.

So, I went to the bank and exchanged them all with crisp new bills.

Then how would they know? What kind of money that is?

For such business, you have Executive Managing Director Kang.

That one brother-in-law I have...

lacks ability but overflows with ambition.

I cannot rely on him at all.

If you take good care of this one for me, I will set aside and give you a subsidiary.

I'm sorry, but it will be difficult to help you.

I told you to do my work. When did I ask you to help me?

I'll be going now.

You are looking for someone, right?

Which one do you think will be faster?

The Korean police or using my means?

You are good at math, aren't you?

Director, I have to go to a scene right now...

Sit down.TNN World No.1 Channel

I have heard a lot about you from Director Lee.

If you have any thoughts of going into politics later, talk to me about it.

Just tell me which party. I will make connections for you.

I don't believe you came to see me for such a business, all of a sudden.

By any chance, among the news going out today,

is there any item whose broadcast will trouble you?

It's the opposite.

I would like to give you... a kind of tip.

Is it an item worth your personal visit?

The bank robbery case a while ago...

was known to be handled by the PD crisis negotiation team.

However, actually one civilian interfered

and solved the case, how do you like that?

And... you know, about the incident that broke out at the casino...

Over the issue, our Chairman urgently sought out that person and met him.

Chairman Seo Geon Il, personally?

That civilian you are talking about...

Joo Seong Chan, I don't believe you are unaware of him, right?

What did they talk about?

Uncovering that, isn't that the media's role?

Before reporting on it, you just need to tip me off.

Toward an informant,

I should extend at least that much courtesy.

Also I was sincere about what I said earlier.

Anchor Yoon, you have potential. Let's keep walking together.

If the presence of explosives gets out, reporters will swarm and the problem will grow bigger.

Break up the demonstrators on your own.

Yes, I understand.

Aigoo, those dogged bastards, enough is enough!

Just see how an addict drives his car right into the casino!

This is all because of the gambling house!

Near a school where children go to,

does it even make sense to permit this kind of

- sinful business operation?!- Agreed! Agreed!

Whether it makes any sense or not, please analyze that later.

Since there is a risky situation afoot,

everyone, please go home!

This is a legal rally. We already got our protest permit.

It's because you turn a deaf ear to the opposing opinions like this every time

that a situation like the current one happens!

No, I understand, but...

under the circumstances...

I'm only asking you to consider the time and place.

What are you going to do if the driver in there

turns out to be a demonstrator like you, huh?

- What did you say?- Demonstrators acting violently

has been a long-standing problem!- What? What?

If you do not break up right now,

you will be arrested for obstruction of justice!

Everybody, let's push on!

You'll be arrested.

- I don't know, seriously.- Team Leader.

Isn't it better to get backup and push them all out?

Just hang in there.

You, come here!

Push them out!

Push them out! Push them out!

G - g-get out. Get out.

B-b-bast♪♪ds

I said to shut up!

Car owner Kim Jae Gon, has a history of mental illnesses.

Auditory hallucinations and delusional disorder.

What about his mother? He keeps talking about her.

Not long ago, his mother died of an illness.

According to Sergeant Jo, chances are he stopped taking medication because no one is looking after him.

We cannot predict what he will do when provoked.

You're Mr. Kim Jae Gon, right?

Jae Gon, can you hear me?

All useless, and this place must disappear!

Your mother passing away, does it have anything to do with this casino?

Because mom found out that this is those bastards' base.

So those bastards killed her.

Base?

The security is ruthless. Inside they are watching everything with CCTVs.

That is because this place is a casino and a lot of money changes hands.

The bastards are coming! Hurry, hurry, hurry...

This won't do. The situation is really bad.

As soon as the order is given, we'll subdue him by force.

- Team Leader, I still...- Forget it. Just get out.

Team Leader Han?

Such a mess, I can die, really.

Mom! I'm sorry, Mom!

I'm sorry, Mom!

Dad!

I'm sorry, Mom!

Yeo Myeong Ha, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?

I said to hurry and get out!

Hey!

This is an emergency.

As of now, inside the car which crashed

there are liquified petroleum gas containers.

What is that jerk doing right now?

If there is an explosion, we expect casualties as far as within a 100-meter radius of the site.

While we resolve the problem through negotiation,

all residents here should please evacuate as swiftly as possible.

1, 100 meter?

Can it really explode?

Everyone, for now, let's get out and wait and see.

- Yes.- Yes, let's do that.

What the... How did you get out?

Do you know what you just did?

The Commissioner entreated us to take care of it quietly.

But it did not quiet down. So I used a sure method.

If you think this will be a problem, should I report to the Commissioner?

Yeah, report to him that if you butt in here,

my negotiation team that the Commissioner is so doubtful about

will all quit right now!

What am I to you so you will even risk ignoring the Commissioner?

Don't curse, but just use someone unworthy like me.

Damn. Seriously.

- If something happens...- It would be my individual deviation from the rules.

How is Lieutenant Yeo doing?

I told her to get out before subduing him by force, but she crawled back in.

I just don't know what she's thinking.

She did well. He might have set it off, had she left him unattended.

The SWAT team about to charge in would have gotten hurt as well.

I will get a glimpse and come back.

What kind of person is the crisis maker?

This is the profiling based on Sergeant Choi's searches

and Lieutenant Yeo's talks with him.

Sons of bi♪♪♪es...

If you come near, we all die together.

Jae Gon, I'm here to help you.

Stop showing up before my eyes and get lost, you damned bit♪♪!

Get lost! Get lost!

E-Excuse me...

Ugh...

Joo Seong Chan.

You are at a loss for words at that level of cussing?

You should be thankful for the cussing.

Because the hardest is when they don't open their mouths.

He has a mental illness, to begin with.

And perhaps he inhaled a lot of gas, his condition is not very good.

Stay calm.

And the counterpart has at least opened his mouth to you.

But words don't work with him.

Right now, all you're thinking about is to stop him no matter what.

What is a negotiation?

What is your strong point?

Read this while taking a breather

and drink this.

Thank you.

His mother used to work here at the hotel.

Yes, she was made to retire early due to her health and soon thereafter, died of her chronic disease.

To know, I will have to hear him talk about his delusional world structure,

but there is no doubt he is linking the cause of her death to the casino.

Test him right there.

- He must have a demand. Find out.- Yes.

Jae Gon, do you think your mother died because of the casino?

How many times must I say it?

This is the bastards' base.

We want to help you, Jae Gon.

How should I help you?

They do not search your body for nothing, when you enter.

This is their secret hideout

and because Mom found out about it, they killed her.

Do you want to get that fact out?

I will do that.

TV station, call me a TV station crew.

- What to do? - What do you mean what to do?

When the Commissioner is throwing a fit to minimize exposure to the media!

Hey, when he lets his guard down, you'll have to get in there quick and bring him under control, right?

5 seconds to break the window and drag out the crisis maker...

It would be great if nothing happens during that time.

Right now, the crisis maker is extremely agitated, so you must not provoke him.

For now, we have to induce him to talk much.

But then, are you really telling us to call the TV station?

What is so noisy...

Team Leader, please look here.

Even though we didn't call them, they smelled out trouble and came of their own accord.

- Those people, really!- Just a minute! This is a chance.

Set up cameras and while pretending to air this according to the crisis maker's demand,

we'll make him lower the car window slowly.

Because as soon as the risk factor is eliminated, subduing him becomes possible.

But is there a reporter who would voluntarily crawl into a fire pit?

Over there, the contender is entering.

Oh, that goddamn son-of-bit♪♪ is here again, aish.

Myeong Ha, we'll send in Sergeant Jo for a bit. Please come to the situation room.

I have something to say to you.

You understand? The video feed is for our eyes only. It cannot air.

Okay, but in return, let me go in there personally.

Won't it be dangerous?

There is no one who does not know my face.

We should do at least that much to make him believe.

- However...- Now, even my life is in your hands, Lieutenant.

We can't guaranty your safety.

Well, I guess I will gain as much as I risk.

You have changed a lot, Seong Chan.

I almost did not recognize you.

I would like to know why you are here.

I was asked to act as the negotiation team's outside consultant.

I guess you're slow to pick up news.

Pretending to listen, you just lead him to open the window.

- I am telling you ahead of time. As soon as the risk factor is eliminated, the operation will commence. - Yes.

You are not thinking of accommodating the culprit like the last time, right?

I understand.

Thank you for earlier.

Taking care of the demonstrators.

If it wasn't for you, it would've ended badly.

That was nothing.

Actually, this incident has nothing to do with the demonstration,

but because everybody is on edge, I don't think we responded properly.

I'll say... why start an impossible thing and make a ton of noise?

It's not like they are going to demolish the already built casino because of their opposition.

They have to demand something they can get. If they act willy-nilly like that,

how are they different from the crisis maker in there?

What?

Excuse me.

About what happened here 13 years ago...

Do you perhaps know?

I know well.

Even though they know it is a wrong method,

there are people who cannot make another choice.

Had there been a negotiator back then who listened to them

and helped them make a different choice...

The tragedy would not have happened...

Well, it was such an inflexible situation.

So it wouldn't have been easy even for a competent negotiator.

Do you think so?

Still, don't you think it might have been different if you had been there?

But wasn't I... a scammer who thinks nothing of human lives?

You came like this.

You feign indifference, but you too want to save them.

If it's at all possible, I...

would like to be an outstanding negotiator like you, Seong Chan.

Yeo Myeong Ha!

We are ready. Will you be okay?

I will do my best.

- I'll be back. Let's go. - Yes.

Jae Gon, we brought a TV camera.

What happened?

I am Yoon Hee Sang of TNN.

You said you had something to say.

My mom worked here.

But those bad men took her away.

Mom! Are you watching? I am here, Mom...

I'm sorry, but can you lower the window?

So the mic will get better sound.

What happened?

They gather up people and do experiments at the casino.

The kinds that control people's minds...

When Mom found out about this, they kidnapped her.

What the hell is he talking about right now? Didn't you say his mom died?

Has that guy lost his mind due to the gas?

I think he's unable to accept the truth yet.

His mother's death must have affected his delusions somehow.

So it's not that your mom passed away, but you're saying she was kidnapped.

It's true! Those guys... Those bastards...

Jae Gon, it's okay. We will take care of it,

so you can relax,

and if there is anything else you want to say, say everything to this TV camera.

Is this really going to be broadcast?

Yes, that's right.

If what you say it true, this could be a very serious situation.

Could you tell me a little bit more in detail?

You'll listen to my story?

Yes, we'll listen from the beginning to the end.

Please tell us more about your difficulties.

I'm not crazy. What I'm saying is the truth.

The bad guys who did this to me

kidnapped my mother...

Is it difficult to speak?

If you open your window a little more, you'll feel more comfortable.

If you hold the mic yourself and speak, your voice will be broadcast more clearly.

It's okay. There isn't anyone in here besides you and us.

Good job.

Oh, hey.

What are you doing? It's the perfect timing.

Let's leave it to her. He gave up the matches, so it won't be too dangerous.

Team Leader Han, standby.

I really admire your courage. Do you feel better now?

I know that I have a sickness, too.

But I am really a good driver.

Why? Because I had to take my mother to and from work.

You must've been proud for being able to help your mother.

Even the hospital said that if I just took my medicine well, nothing would be wrong with me.

Sometimes when people would say things, my mom would tell me not to feel intimidated and that I was okay.

Your mother's words must have given you a lot of strength.

I knew it. I knew they were aiming at my mom.

But...

But my mom was kidnapped.

If the camera is uncomfortable for you, should we take it out?

Mr. Jae Go, did something happen that day?

Mr. Jae Go, perhaps that day,

It just happened that you weren't able to drive your mother that day, wasn't it?

That's why you are hurting.

It was raining. And I was in a bad mood...

Even mom said that one day would be okay, so she went out alone.

I should've gone with her...

Your mother wasn't well on the way to work, so she collapsed.

She wasn't kidnapped, she was hospitalized.

It wasn't your fault that that happened to your mother.

Lieutenant Yeo is working hard.

I know right? For no reason.

Thanks to her, I got some good clips.

How did the main anchor for TNN come out to report himself?

As you say, how would a well-known negotiator like you be at a scene like this?

It's hard to believe your story about enlisting for the crisis negotiation team.

The truth about the incident a year ago.

Is that the posiiton you earned for not releasing it?

It isn't that I didn't release it, I couldn't release it.

In order to relay the truth, one needs power. And I'm in the process of gaining that power.

You mean you're not after the news in order to obtain that power?

It doesn't matter what you think,

but I know that you're not one to help the police out of your own good will.

I know you're after something and that something will be a huge news.

You're always with incidents.

Then since you got your news, we're done, right?

Aren't you curious?

Of what I filmed?

Hotel Casino Out! Gambling Site Out!

A demonstrator against the casino...

crashes the car to cause an explosion. It's breaking news.

You saw it yourself so you know. This person had nothing to do with the demonstration.

The king died. And the queen died.

This is just spelling out the facts.

The king died. And so the queen died.

This is a story. Which one is more interesting?

The people want a story.

Do you always manufacture the news like that?

The fact is that this flyer was there. Was it not?

This...

It wasn't his.

Then did you put it there yourself?

That...

wasn't his.

Then did you put it there yourself?

Did you make a deal with Chairman Seo of the K Group?

Then should I rewrite the headline?

"A demonstrator attacks the casino..." or

or "An expert police negotiator manipulates the incident"

Which one is the bigger scoop?

Don't worry. If I were to do as you say,

I have no interest in delivering truth that doesn't benefit me.

If you also did it because of the deal you made with Chairman Seo, there's no need for internal conflict.

I understand that it's hard to accept the fact you can't see your mother again.

However, wherever your mother is, I don't think she'd want you to be hurt.

Without my mom, I can't live.

Are you okay?

Mr. Jae Go! Mr. Jae Go!

Mom!

Mr. Jae Go.

Send an ambulance. Immediately!

Mr. Jae Go!

I'll do it, just avoid the glass.

Mr. Jae Go, come to your senses. Mr. Jae Go, are you okay?

Come to your senses. Mr. Jae Go can you hear me?

Mr. Jae Go, are you awake?

You came like this. You feign indifference, but you also want to rescue him.

If only possible, I want to become an outstanding negotiator like you.

You're awake?

Be careful.

No...

Joo Seong Chan, please help me.

And for the two of us to go this far...

- What is this?- It's nothing.

You picked it up earlier at the scene. Why are you hiding it?

Didn't I say it at the scene? That what's important isn't the means, but the end?

Okay, I won't look at it.

Ah, I'm sorry.

You coming back here, does it mean you want to work together?

Well, for now.

Watching you, I know exactly why you need me.

And the reason you need our negotiations team?

Is it just to catch the Pied Piper? Is that all it is?

If it's only to get revenge, I can't help you.

Fine. I'm going to do whatever it takes to catch him.

If you get in my way,

you know what my choice will be without me telling you, right?

I'm that kind of guy.

Hotel Casino Out! Gambling Site Out!

Chairman Seo

Because of the demonstrators, 13 years ago at K Group

We're facing difficulty starting the construction.

So, what's your strategy?

Ah, yes. Since the delay in construction will end up hurting us financially,

we must swiftly find the solution.

So, what's the solution! The solution!

You guys, didn't you say it's easy money if we hire a construction company?

I believed you! Do you know how much of blood, sweat and tears I put in?

You don't care since it's not your money?

Let's not drag it out...

it's most effective to start construction forcefully.

What is this?

I'm sorry, I didn't train him well.

Move out of the way! Who are you?

I'm a new recruit Joo Seong Chan from the Construction Industry Evaluation Team.

A new recruit?

I'm helping out with the efforts to drive out the residents.

Oh, he's gutsy.

Let me ask you then. They went through a lot to resist moving out.

Are you intending to peacefully demolish? Someone might get hurt.

No matter what the choice, there will be a price to pay.

For the company, it will be the cost.

Whether that's a cost to repay for damages relating to people or money...

We must choose a side that costs the least.

Oh, after doing some calculation,

even if there's loss of human life,

we're better off pushing it through right away? Is that what you are saying?

That's right.

Hurry up and bring it to me!

Revitalization of Newtown Construction Proposal

Look, look, he's something.

You can't call me up like this right before I go on air. I feel uneasy.

I took it out, so if you report about this...

you'll be reporting false.

Then you should talk about you putting it in there.

I will at the police briefing. Everything.

Facing the truth... That would be an interesting issue in itself.

He's only a poor mentally-ill man.

He did that because the shock of the death of his caregiver mother was so great.

As I told you before, that is too weak for being news.

You said that you wanted a story, didn't you?

I'll give you a better one.

Did you say I'd never help out the police out of good will?

So?

The restaurant incident a year ago, the recent bank robbery incident...

They all had mysterious calls reporting the incidents.

The number was untraceable.

On that phone call, a man

started whistling as soon as he called.

Whistling?

The guy knew the crimes will occur beforehand.

How? Because he orchestrated them.

Someone is using the weak people who experienced injustice in this land

to commit terror and crime.

So you're saying you want to catch that man.

Although I like dramatic things, isn't this too far-fetched?

What about evidence?

It's right in front of me,

but to get it into my hands, I need your help.

I'll have to ask you to be on my show soon, Chief.

Set up some time. How about the next time we meet to round up?

The reason for my call today, isn't because of that,

It's yesterday's case.

We're still investigating. Of course, we'll provide info to you if you need it soon.

More than that, the negotiators on the case...

I'd like to interview the negotiators.

You could easily request it through the PR team, why...

I'm requesting it unofficially.

Joo Seong Chan and Yeo Myeong Ha,

I'm requesting an exclusive story on those two.

I'm sorry but that won't do.

I have a video clip that demonstrates that Joo Seong Chan orchestrated the negotiation.

A civilian and not a police officer...

The reason for him to be at an urgent crime scene...

and how he got involved. With the information we obtained...

Is it okay for that to be broadcasted?

Would an exclusive interview would work?

As for Joo Seong Chan, you'd have to explain him as an outside consultant

for the viewers to accept.

While he was in the process of joining the team,

the incident had occurred. So we put him in urgently.

Due to the urgent need to resolve the situation...

we should've taken care of the procedure, but we overlooked it.

Is that so? We'll work out that part without misunderstanding.

Good job, everyone. There will be an official acknowledgement for the Crisis Negotiation Team.

Really? Thank you Commissioner Yang.

Then, will I be transferred to another...

Team Leader, where do you think you're going?

Stay there until things settle down. There is anothe condition.

Do you remember saying you need an experienced negotiator?

I think you found a good one.

The team work is good too.

There's no way you're talking about Joo Seong Chan, that rude...

- Ah! Commissioner Sir! - Just do as you're told.

Many people are speculating about the motive of that certain "Mr. Kim", the driver of the car

which crashed into the Golden Hill Hotel lobby today.

The fact that "Mr. Kim" has been suffering from a mental illness has been disclosed.

Therefore, he wasn't part of the anti-casino demonstrators

nor a gambling addict.

Joo Seong Chan, this guy.

I was wondering why he wasn't answering my call.

How dare he stab me in the back!

Are you really going to keep your mouth shut?

Wow, how amazing.

Hey, about the negotiation...

If I turn myself in, as an attempted robber...

I was told I'll get less sentencing.

But you didn't turn yourself in.

Well, if you cooperate with the investigation, we'll put it in consideration.

Just tell me where you got your gun.

I heard you bought a BB gun at first.

Anyway, let's eat first and get things going slowly.

Go ahead and eat.

Keep your promise.

Pied PiperPreview

Did you find out more about the Pied Piper?

We'll have to back track.

From the crime scene to the train station,

Don't you think I'd run into the punk?

I heard you're quick with calculations.

You must have what you're after.

The right to investigation after the incident...

I'd like you to guarantee it.

Negotiation Team doing the investigations?

Didn't you make up the story about Pied Piper?

The culprit doesn't come forward himself.

He controls someone.

We must find out.

To find out his identity and what he's after.

Why is he doing all this stuff?

Come out! Who are you?

He's putting innocent people in danger.

This isn't the time to play with words!
