Original subtitles

I figured out how you blow your whistle.

Blowing up the television station... it's only the beginning.

The puzzle is coming together.

Killing Team Leader Oh and having him steal the recorder.

Even the reason behind targeting the broadcasting station...

So, you're saying Team Leader Oh's death wasn't an accident?

And what if that was part of the plan?

He is definitely related to that incident thirteen years ago.

The "noname 3125..." here

He's the one we suspected of being the Pied Piper on the Underground, isn't he?

Year '03 January 25th.

That's the day it happened thirteen years ago.

Yeo Myeong Ha, move!

Episode 7

Anchorman Yoon Hee Seong?

As expected... If it's you, I can understand.

How so?

The existence of the confidential files at the broadcasting station

is known by only a few internal staff members.

But... why do you want to help me?

Curious?

Why would Yoon Hee Seong...

I thought you'd know a lot about me, too.

It's a bit too much to think of it as an adolescent rebellion.

But I must confirm beforehand. Noname 3125...

Do you know what it means?

You're not the Pied Piper.

I'll talk to Yoon Hee Seong...

I'll follow him. Follow Seo Joon and talk to him.

Chairman Seo's people are always following him around, so if you don't talk to him now, it'll be difficult.

What's up at this hour?

I think I found out a crucial fact about the Pied Piper.

Really? What?

I don't want to say it over the phone. I'll go over there.

Where are you? The broadcasting station?

I'm out right now.

To meet a reporter...

A reporter?

What is this? Did you follow me?

What's your identity?

Seo Joon called for the Pied Piper. Why did you appear?

I'm the Police. Aren't you Chairman Seo Geon Il's son, Seo Joon?

I saw your post on the Underground.

Also saw you meeting Yoon Hee Seong.

So? You think I'm that bastard?

Then... you're not?

What is it you want to know?

What did you talk about with Yoon Hee Seong?

- Nothing much. - Hurry up and tell me.

I met him to gather information.

To find out what he knows about the bastard and what Chairman Seo is hiding!

I wanted to find out.

So, you're talking about breaking news again?

Actually, Press Director Lee is keeping his distance from me since what happened last time.

For being excessively cooperative with you...

In order for me to survive, I must grab a story big enough for him to keep quiet.

Well, it might be a chance to catch the bastard...

You should've let me know first.

I heard you once pretended to be the Piper and threw some bait.

I used that method, too.

So... did it work?

I thought he was the Pied Piper.

And... he isn't?

He didn't know the most important fact.

Most important?

Meaning behind 3125... There's no way he wouldn't know.

Deaths that occurred during the redevelopment incident from thirteen years ago...

It happened on January 25, 2003.

This is a clear sign that the bastard is connected to the incident for sure.

Thanks a lot for sharing your investigative information with me now.

So, did you find out anything?

Not really... the kid was sure the bastard is a broadcasting station insider.

So, he believed it was me when he first met me.

How come?

He knew of the confidential files hidden in the broadcasting station somewhere.

Well, it's a probable guess.

Why did you say you want to help the Piper?

Why are you trying to catch the culprit, Lieutenant?

What?

Do you know that guy is after your father?

And Lieutenant, would you not arrest my father if he committed a crime?

My father accomplished lots of things, but...

many people lost lots of things because of that.

Fine, I can see how you'd think Pied Piper might be right.

But the way he's doing it is wrong.

Because it's violent?

How about that incident from thirteen years ago?

My father and this nation...

No one says anything even after he did such an act.

He's trying to give power to the weak...

Is that bad?

It's bad.

Because no one truly wants to die.

He's just using the ones who are struggling to death.

If he said he will use your life to change the world,

would you give it up so easily?

I have to go.

The reason he knows about a hidden object is because he's close to the one who hid it.

Anyway, did you really think that I'm the Piper?

The way I see it, you seem more like the Piper than me.

What kind of crap are you spitting out?

To achieve your goal...

a small sacrifice is okay.

Isn't that your way?

If you have such a poor judgment about the situation, it's hard to work together as team players.

Exercise good judgment.

So, why do you insist on coming over to my house so suddenly?

I need to look at the things Team Leader Oh left behind.

What?

Team Leader Oh's room... Is it here?

I haven't touched it since I cleaned things up right after his death.

I can take a look, right?

Wait a minute. What exactly did you miss that you have to do this?

How could he have known that Team Leader Oh kept his recorder in the safe deposit box?

Also the fact that the thing was indeed what he was looking for...

As for the confidential files at the broadcasting station,

someone who is well informed about the internal affairs would know.

But not the recorder. You, being the closest person, didn't even know.

Right.

But the bastard knew about it.

- What that means is... - What are you saying now?

Are you saying Team Leader Oh and the Piper know each other?

At the least, I'm saying that they have met each other.

I missed such an obvious thing since I paid all my attention to the recording's content.

So the Team Leader Oh is irrelevant to the incident from thirteen years ago...

Are you sure? He was in the Riot Control Team.

I told you no.

Not that you didn't want to know more?

Stop it. Team Leader Oh has nothing to do with it.

You never know. There might be something you don't know just like his recorder.

Just leave it alone!

What's this?

I didn't review everything.

Is this yours, Myeong Ha?

How could this be here...

If... the bastard sent it...

Perhaps, the Pied Piper was born on that day.

Think about the fairytale.

The reason why the Pied Piper took away the children...

He was taken advantage of by the powerful people of Hamelin.

And?

The bastard was definitely at the site of the demolition thirteen years ago.

Like you, he probably lost his family or something.

He survived that and to let the world know of the injustice

he started all this.

But how could Uncle have this...

He gave it back to you, Myeong Ha.

Also, as a warning to the Team Leader Oh.

To give him the recording containing the factual information of that day?

Then why did Uncle leave it in the safety deposit box?

He probably couldn't agree with the bastard's methods.

One thing's for sure through this. The two people have met before.

And the bastard is directly connected to the incident from thirteen years ago.

Uncle, why didn't you tell me?

Long time no see.

What brings you here?

Just because... I haven't seen you in a long time.

Assemblyman Jeong, you're busy.

I'm busy, too. So, you can skip the pleasantries.

I can ask you how you're doing at the least.

Since we said our hellos, I'll get going.

About Reporter Noh Gyeong Seok...

I heard he confessed to being the serial terrorist. Is that true?

Is there a reason I should tell you?

I know him well as a friend.

He's not the type to do that.

I'm thinking of saying Reporter Noh is falsely accused to the media.

I'm here to let you know in advance since you're connected to the case.

You're still the one who defends justice in our society all by yourself.

Seong Chan.

What's happened to you?

You made me like this.

Father...

You're coughing more today.

Seo Joon.

Yes, Father.

Do you know where I'm standing now?

I'm standing on top.

The ones who are fighting against me...

The ones stabbing my back stealing what's mine...

are now all under my feet piled as high as a mountain.

They've been quiet for some time.

But since I started getting sick, these bastards are starting to move again.

What should I do if I want to stay in this position?

Step on them!

You can't be weak!

Go to sleep.

Message has arrived from noname-3125.Open; close

Aigoo, you're working so hard, Sergeant Choi.

Why are you creating more work?

Seong Chan asked me to do the Underg...

Underg... what?

Did you go over it? (Underg..sounds like Un-deok, the hill)

So, you two... I mean, three of you including this jerk!

Were chasing after the Pied Piper?

No, I didn't know what it was and helped out.

That's right. Joo Seong Chan and I were chasing him.

- Do you have something against me? - No, sir. It's just...

If not, what is it? Don't you know I'm the one who got that reporter's confession?

But Team Leader, Noh Gyeong Seok just got used and the real Piper is...

What I'm saying is... why are you the only ones investigating that?

What?

I already knew he wasn't the one when he confessed so easily.

My intuition, you know!

But you leave me out?

I'm sorry.

Team Leader Oh who died in the line of duty... I heard you're basically his only family.

Team Leader Oh is important to Lieutenant Yeo. But he also discovered someone like me...

Him, too.

Hey, a team is...

not a team just for sharing a same office space like this. Don't you agree?

I asked them not to say anything.

What do you mean?

Do you remember from last time the recording being erased?

- And? - The Commissioner made someone do it.

The Commissioner? Why?

He probably didn't want it released.

Then...

are you saying there's a Commissioner's spy among us?

Are you a spy?

Would I be here like this if I was, Team Leader?

You? I'll kill you if you're a spy!

See? They're not.

From now on, share everything and move together.

Object if you have something to complain about.

I'll report everything to the Commissioner.

Through this...

let me get on the Commissioner's good side.

Okay?

Jeong Hyun Ho (28), Heo Tae Woong (47), Noh Kyung Seok (52)

There is a high probability that the Piper is a victim's family from that incident or a victim himself.

There were four dead during the demolition.

Excluding Myeong Ha's parents, there are two others.

Shin Kyung Man. He was a 26 year old college student.

He is survived by his father. Shin Ho Chang, 68 years old.

Shin Ahjussi. I vaguely remember him.

Next, Jeong Soo In. A female, 30 year old, an office worker at the time.

She is survived by a younger brother named Jeong Soo Kyung. He was 18 years old at the time.

I think he was an athlete at the time.

Yeah, right. He was a boxing hopeful.

If I add 13... add one here...

He's 31 right now.

Not just the victim's family. People surrounding the incident from thirteen years ago, look into all of them.

Seong Chan, meet the ousted residents with me then.

But I don't think we have a list of the former residents.

That... I know the person who was in charge.

It was my job to persuade them.

Is that so?

Joo Seong Chan is necessary in catching the Pied Piper, but...

don't trust him too much.

You're doing the right thing.

Yes. Got it, sir.

I think everyone is still unsettled due to the recent terror incident.

Things are pretty much wrapped up. So, let's be careful not to cause any strange rumors.

Press Director.

Is it true you'll become the President?

Well, looks like it.

Weren't you basically working as the President anyway?

So many problems came up without the proper person in charge.

This time around, we'll strengthen the security system and change the programming around.

By changing the programs, you mean...

Thanks to you, Anchorman Yoon, our Night News came together.

But isn't it too much for our Press Team to depend on Anchorman Yoon entirely?

And the Negotiation Team... they're lucky there were few incidents for them.

Now that they caught the culprit, will they gain spotlight?

Then, should I cover stories like book publishing parties by the politicians?

- Right, that's not bad.- Excuse me?

What do you think, Anchor Yoon?

Well, I have no reason to oppose it...

President.

Then, report to me as soon as you put it together.

Everyone, get to work.

Yes.

Sunbae, actually Assemblyman Jeong Sang Moon has a publishing party coming up.

From what I hear, they'll sign a petition for Sunbae Noh's release at the party..

Do you think it'd be newsworthy?

If you do that you'll get black-listed like me.

Then, I'll follow you around and look for breaking news.

Pied Piper.

1. Incident Summary2. Facts

As you know, during the suppression those who died in the fire were five:

4 renters, and 1 police task force member.Personal Information of Deceased:1. Yeo Dong Geun 41, male 2. Lee Jeong Sook 38, female

9 family members of the deceased, and 41 forcibly displaced persons 4. Personal Information of Surviving Family of the DeceasedYeo Myeong Ha, 13, 1st daughter of Yeo Dong Geun and Lee Jeong Sook

The compensation was not what I had thought...5. Compensation13 million won (3 million won for funeral expenses, 10 million won for grievances)Injured - 70% of hospital fees

But why are you here?-What about?

Not only have you not contacted me in a long while, but you also ask me to show you these kinds of things.

Wow.

I didn't know it'll be to this extent.

Perhaps, that incident that time. Do you regret it?

You seem to have changed.

Though I wasn't fired and I'm still somehow leeching of the company thanks to you

Do you know what people were saying behind your back?

Change? Who changed?

I'm saying you're looking good.

You know for me, I've always been bothered by it.

Though we're just employees and all we did was follow orders,

but each person who reported and each person who directed, I'm wondering whether those decisions piled and piled on such that

those people died as a result.

Perhaps I should've at least given them this when the reporter had asked.

If I had done so, would something have changed?

Well, at least there was someone who wanted to report on it.

It seemed that based on the mood, everyone was hushing it up.

Well now, that guy probably doesn't even have any interest in this kind of stuff anymore.

He's doing well for himself now, as the main anchor for TNN.

Yoon Hee Seong?

He doesn't know what 3125 means even though he was covering the news during that time?

He could have not known.

You didn't know it either at first, Seong Chan.

I mean...

He hid the fact that he reported on the incident thirteen years ago.

It's not that he hid it. We didn't ask him that.

I do remember a few of these people.

Most of them, they're probably leading difficult lives even now I guess.

They're all suspects!

We must investigate every single one of them, including even their acquaintances. We cannot leave a single person out.

Geez, so heartless.

Why don't you change, Seong Chan?

You think so too right?

That wasn't a compliment.

Yes, Sergeant Choi.

I'll send you a list of forcibly displaced residents. Please obtain their current place of address.

What's Team Leader Gong and Co. up to?

He brought along Sergeant Jo to the gym Jeong Soo Kyung used to go to.

Is anybody here?Boxing

Team Leader.

What?

Who are you?

Hello.

Are you the master here?

- What is this about? - Oh yes We're the police.

By chance, among those who have attended the gym, the person, Jeong Soo Kyung...

I don't know any bastard like that.

I see that you're carrying on your shoulder someone you don't even know. You're quite generous.

It's really nothing, but

we came here because we have some investigating to do. Right now he's missing.

I knew that he'd do that, that jerk.

- What?- Can you get in touch with Jeong Soo Kyung or not?

That jerk knows how to spin this really well.

Whatever he's taught he learns very quickly.

If only he had stayed under me, he would've won so many championship belts by now...

When was the last time you met him?

I didn't hear from him for several years after the accident.

Then about 4 or 5 years ago he came to see me. He was completely done.

What do you mean "done"?

Without any explanation, the first thing out of his mouth was to ask me to lend him some money.

Crazy bastard.

No matter how crazy he is over gambling, how dare he frequent that place?

That place?

You know the casino that came into existence after the redevelopment, the place where he used to live.

Don't you think it's unlikely that a gambling addict would be the Piper?

The fact that he's addicted to gambling could be a cover.

All the crimes he committed call for a large amount of money.

Plus, the people in crisis. I'm sure he reached his limit finding them through Underground.

I can tell already.

Look at that over there. It's overflowing with prey.

Come to think about it, the bank robber Heo Tae Woong lost his money here, too.

Hyung-nim, if you keep looking around like that you stick out like a sore thumb you know.

No, I'm not. I look very natural right now.

Uh I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey you Sergeant Choi jerk! Look what you just did!

That that just awhile ago was Jeong Soo Kyung, you bastard!

Get him ♪♪♪!

Ugh!

Get him, get him!

Wow ♪♪♪

Hey hey hey you

Hey hey hey careful careful

He's a trained athlete.

Hey you!

- Hold on, hold on-Stay still

punk

Please, please

R-right now

- That's all I have right now. - What?

I was going to pay back the principal if I won today,

You're joking.

What is this punk saying?

Wait a minute.

You gentlemen aren't from Money-Money?

It wasn't enough that you wasted your compensation on gambling. You even took out a loan from a loanshark?

Why did you quit your sport?

I know. I heard you were pretty good according to the master.

I got injured when the thugs and police took over.

The gym director didn't seem to have taken notice.

I couldn't tell him because I might disappoint him.

Someone who's afraid to reveal that ♪♪♪

You should make money the proper way if you need money.

This and that, there's nothing I didn't try.

But they all involved physical labor,

I couldn't stand it too long, that's what.

I'm the kiddo Myeong Ha that used to live on the rooftop. Do you remember me?

I-I don't know.

What do you think?

Yeah, I don't think he's the one.- I also don't think so too.

By chance, did you ever receive a strange phone call?

- What? -When you answer the phone, would he whistle?

I did receive a call about... a year ago.

But when I was going to hang up he said

"Don't you want have revenge on those people who put you in this position?"

So? What did you say?

I said, revenge isn't an issue

but living each day is hard.

So I said something like who are you to say such a thing,

but he just hung up.

This sounds crazy, but I think it's Kyung Man hyung.

What? Who?

That bastard, Shin Kyung Man?

Hey h-he he... died!

Oh, yes, he did.

But... for some reason...

the way he spoke and the feeling I had... it felt like him.

Revenge of the dead...

Isn't that just something that makes no sense?

Even so, shouldn't we try to confirm it?

Yeah, now that you mention it, at the time the body was so severely burned,

they couldn't identify the body by visual inspection.

- If he was alive, how old would he be? - 39.

Through profiling, it did seem like he was in his thirties.

His IQ and knowledge ability is high.

And he's quite suave at using his words to deftly controlling the psyche of others.

Hey, isn't that Joo Seong Chan?

If you look at it that way, it's Yoon Hee Seong over me.

He fulfilled all the conditions. He's sharp and even his age is the same.

Geez...

Sure that's fine. Can we rely on the... profiling or whatever you called it?

It's almost certain.

You never know. Please confirm autopsy reports from that time.

Okay.

There's no point in checking if it's the person because it's the same DNA that came from the house.

Is there no possibility that the dead person is actually someone else?

For example a friend who used to frequent his place?

Aigoo someone's so busy, but clearly you really must have nothing better to do.

Don't be like that. The... DNA of the father. Did you compare the two?

Ugh, geez. I'm telling you it's correct.

If you feel that way, then why don't you bring me Shin Kyung Man's father's DNA then.

Yeah, at the time, though Mr. Shin Oh Chang

didn't identify the body, it seems correct that Shin Kyung Man actually died.

Also, at the moment, we can't determine Shin Oh Chang current whereabouts.

Don't you think you can find something if you met with the forcibly displaced residents?

Hello, I'm Lieutenant Yeo Myeong Ha from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

We have some questions for you about an incident from thirteen years ago.

If it's something from thirteen years ago...

By chance, would you happen to know him?

I'm not sure I know.

The New Town incident? Why on earth are you asking me about that now!

By chance, do you remember Mr. Shin from the dry cleaners?

I'm not sure.

A♪♪hole... Aren't you guys all the same police?

Do you know how much pure suffering we've been going through since we got kicked out?

Restaurant for Drivers

Ajusshi Shin

wasn't healthy to begin with, I'm not sure if he's still alive.

I'm sorry for coming now, and asking you about all this.

No problem. You look like a lady now.

You went through a lot right?

Speaking of difficulty, it's you who seemed to have suffered.

When we first got kicked out... Don't even mention it.

But I found a way to live and have this nose-hole sized restaurant.

It's those who died that I feel sorry for.

We all do this to survive.

- Excuse me, please give me more banchan. -Coming

Eat up!

- Which one? Do you want more Bean Sprouts? - Yes, more bean sprouts please.

Okay.

Drink some water.

If the Piper-man is really one of these people

then I think I can understand why he'd do what he did

even if you might say my understanding-disease is raging again.

Well, as for Seo Joon, we can say it's because he's going through puberty (JSC used the word 8th grader's disease. It's a new colloquialism).

Why are you acting this way too Myeong Ha?

Oh it's nothing. It's even more reason we need to catch him as soon as possible.

What? Now what are you talking about?

He's the same as those other critical persons.

He feels wronged and the method he chose to tell those things just happens to be too extreme.

True...

If one goes through something like that, rather than catching the understanding-disease like you Myeong Ha

it's more natural to be anti-social and behave destructively like him...

Anyway, we have to show him that you're right and he's wrong.

Oh, no... it's ok it's ok. Just go.

You have to accept (payment).

I'm fine. Hurry and go.

It can't accept money from Myeong Ha's boyfriend.

No, he's not.

I feel really sorry, if I don't. Please accept it.

If you feel bad, then the two of you should just come again next time.

It's good to see your face.

But still...

I'm very sorry.

To be honest, I think I know where Mr. Shin might be.

Excuse me?

After he lost his son, he's a senior citizen that is no different than dead.

I was going to ignore you because I thought you (police) might bother him again.

The hospital that he was at after her collapsed, had requested bill payment

or else they'd kick him out. So, we tried to collect money for him

since not enough was collected,

I was worried, but someone paid it all and took him somewhere.

- Who exactly? - I wouldn't know that much.

Oh, wait.

Madam, thank you. I am doing well so please don't worry about me. - Shin Oh ChangAddressed to: Oh Hye Mi Sang Rok Driver's Restaurant 261-10 Susaek-dong Eunpyeong District, Seoul

Young Il Nursing Home

He can barely blink to respond yes or no.

Then how did he write this?

I wrote it for him b-by showing him a... typography chart.

At the time you used to run a dry cleaner below on the floor below ours...

Right?

You used to play chess with my father at times.

Elder, I'm Joo Seong Chan, a co-worker of Lieutenant Yeo Myeong Ha.

I have something to ask you.

Is it true that your son died during the New Town Redevelopment?

Please blink if it's correct.

Then by chance, does someone besides your son come visit you?

I have to uh... give him a shot now.

A few weeks ago, he had been in a Code Blue state. He really needs to have his rest.

If his guardian finds out I let you in his room, I'll be in big trouble.

Speaking of which, who exactly is his guardian?

I know that his family all died.

I can't tell you.

Why not? If someone who's not his family is paying for this expensive nursing home, it's a good thing.

Why can't you tell us?

It's our hospital policy. If you're that curious, bring me a warrant.

Why don't we come back another time?

Ah, I picked it up under his pillow.

When we get this analyzed we'll know whether we're chasing after a dead person or living person.

Whether Shin Kyeong Man is dead or alive, there's definitely a connection.

And his guardian

though we might not know who it is, it's highly probable it's him.

But since we don't have clear evidence, would we even be issued a warrant?

What's wrong?

I left my cell phone.

You go ahead first. I have to stop by somewhere too so...

Night News

- Live from Assemblyman Jeong Sang Moon's Publishing Party-All-time high for first-time homeowner deposits... 10.2 billion USD increase since last year-Imprisoned ring of credit card frauders who stole money via short-term credit cards

Seo Joon was sure the bastard is a broadcasting station insider.

- So, he believed it was me when he first met me.- How come?

He knew of the secret file hidden in the broadcasting station somewhere.

I'm sure he doesn't care about things like this anymore.

He now has a top position. TNN's main anchorman.

Yoon Hee Seong? You mean he reported on the demolition?

He must be in his thirties based on profiling.

His IQ and knowledge level is high. And he's good at using his words to control others psychologically.

Hey, isn't that Joo Seong Chan?

If you look at it that way, it's Yoon Hee Seong over me.

He's eloquent and sharp. He's even the same age.

What's going on?

Hurry, hurry!

Yes, this is Young Il Nursing Home.

Are you the guardian to patient Shin Ho Chang?

No, there's...

What are you doing?

Hello?

Hello?

Yoon Hee Seong.

Seong Chan, why are you there...

That's what I want to ask you.

Shin Kyung Man who died during the redevelopment incident and his father Shin Ho Chang.

Why are you paying for the nusing home and...

acting as his guardian?

I was on the assignment as a new recruit and happened to meet him. That's why I'm sponsoring him.

He's not the only one I'm sponsoring.

Not just about Shin Ho Chang, you hid the fact that you reported on the former residents.

Was there anyone who got paid as a reporter from that time who didn't work on that story?

You met Team Leader Oh before, right? Aren't you the one who gave him the storybook?

What are you talking about right now?

You found out that Team Leader Oh had an important voice transcript.

But somehow, Team Leader Oh...

hid that inside his safety deposit box.

So, you killed Team Leader Oh.

And you did all this to get the voice transcript.

You decided to become the Pied Piper in the fairytale.

Why in the world...

would I do those things?

Because you're a victim of that incident!

What?

Shin Ho Chang's missing son who may be dead or alive...

Did he really die?

Are you saying...

that's me?

If he was alive, he'd be your age. You could be him...

or it could be your dead friend.

I'm sorry, but my parents are...

alive and well in the States. Besides, I'm not from the New Town area.

If you continue to make wrong assumptions this way,

let's ignore each other and get to our own work.

I have to go in to do the news.

Forget news...

Wait for me.

Myeong Ha, everyone, come here and look at this.

Team Leader!

Why? What is it?

Underground, 03:01:15, The terror is not over.

What is it?

What is this?

Seong Chan.

What's with the timer? Did Yoon Hee Seong ask you to do it?

The real Pied Piper asked me to.

To start the timer at that hour...

I didn't do anything else besides that.

Why are you doing this?

Do you know what he's after?

Don't you want to find out, ahjussi?

Everyone just tries to hide everything.

Father, Uncle...

Everyone around me does that.

Do you know why I created Underground?

I can say anything there.

But nothing really changed just by talking about it.

Innocent people can get hurt.

I'm hanging up. I have to watch TV.

When the timer hits zero...

I'm very curious as to what will happen.

Did you confirm? What did Seo Joon say?

He doesn't know what will happen either, but this time, it's for real.

Then the target this time is...

Probably the broadcasting station.

Why is that? Because they failed last time?

Right.

Also, I confirmed Shin Ho Chang's guardian.

Yes? Who was it?

Yoon Hee Seong.

Hurry up and come to the broadcasting station.

Underground, 02:38:19, The terror is not over.

Assemblyman Jeong Sang Moon of the People's Party is having a special book publishing party.

We'll connect to the scene and hear about it.

Reporter Yoon Bo Ram?

Yes, I'm here at Assemblyman Jeong Sang Moon's publishing party.

To celebrate the publication of his autobiography "To Coexist,"

for Noh Kyung Seok who is under arrest for terrorizing the broadcasting station

he put this event together.

This event, how did it come about?

The police says that the fired reporter Noh Kyung Seok

confessed that he's the serial terrorist.

But his family and friends

insist that he's not the type of person to do that.

In actuality, you can't connect him to previous incidents either.

If so, do you believe there's a problem with the police investigation?

I daresay...

I believe it's a poor investigation or a conspiracy.

- Just a moment. - No, you can't do this!

If it's a conspiracy, are you saying that the serial terrorist is still out there?

That's right. Seeing the evidence presented by the police,

you can't say any of it is clear evidence.

They forced everything to fit in.

Behind the serial incidents that have occurred recently...

there's a mysterious figure, Pied Piper.

Do you believe that Reporter Noh Kyung Seok has no connection to that man?

I can't talk about the rumors floating about.

Yes.

We got the analysis results. The dead person is Shin Kyung Man.

Team Leader Gong went to see Jeong Soo Kyung right now.

Later... I found something more fitting just now.

No, no, no. I'm sure this is more fitting.

He went to the motel Jeong Soo Kyung was staying at.

The weak ones who can't avenge are the only ones who can forgive.

The weak ones who can't avenge are the only ones who can forgive.

It's him.

By chance...

creating chaos...

and exercising the right...

From now on...

How...

Do you think that's acceptable?

I believe...

If it indeed is a conpiracy...

why do you think the police would do that?

Making excuses to monitor the citizens.

That is what I proclaim through this book.

This is the book.

Will you talk about the content for a moment?

Terror is crime, but...

there is responsibility the society should take for causing that incident.

Especially those with low income...

As the assistance for the weak ones in society is lacking...

The voice of the struggling people is getting louder, but

the government doesn't want to listen.

About our society that is smeared with confrontation and conflict,

I believe the coexistence is...

About our society that is smeared with confrontation and conflict,

I believe the coexistence is...

What was that?

Reporter Yoon, don't move!

What is it? A gun?

Confirm.

Blocked

Just got a call. If Reporter Yoon moves or change the screen, she'll be killed.

Don't change the screen.

Reporter Yoon, listen up.

A dangerous situation has occurred.

Don't panic and don't move.

Viewers, during our news broadcast...

we received a threat from someone.

Someone aiming at Reporter Yoon Bo Ram...

is on the phone.

Blocked

Hello?

Why don't you turn off the broadcast?

He says he'll kill Reporter Yoon.

What? If he says strange things, don't you know to turn it off?

Yes.

What's going on? Didn't you say Piper or whatever was arrested?

Yes, I'm looking into it.

Don't just look into it! Take care of it!

I understand. Yes.

Run!

The site is at the entrance of the distribution center near the broadcast station.

There are many high-rises on the opposite direction. I don't know where he'll shoot from.

Be alert. If we make a mistake, everything will go on air.

Yes, sir!

Who is the suspect?

Come to find out he used to be in the special forces.

We expect him to be proficient with weapons.

Got it, over.

He completely fooled us right in front of us.

Jeong Soo Kyung, that punk, he worked on us in advance.

It's obvious that he'd be the number one suspect out of the people surrounding the incident from thirteen years ago.

He must be, right? Why is he doing it himself this time?

He used the fired reporter last time. Probably since he failed last time...

That punk... I'm going to catch him for sure this time.

Seong Chan, are you at the station?

Yes, in the studio.

I'll do my best to negotiate through Anchor Yoon. So find him fast.

I got it.

Hee Seong, calm down.

The SWAT Team is on the scene. We must make as much time as we can.

First ask who it is. To see if it's really the Pied Piper.

Hello.

Are you listening?

I'm listening.

Are you the... Pied Piper?

Right.

That's me.

Did you plan the recent serial terror?

Right.

You're also the one aiming the gun at Reporter Yoon Bo Ram?

This is a dire situation.

Shouldn't you be asking me what I'm after first?

Say you're interested in him.

You're not using someone else this time either?

You continued to hide yourself...

Kidnapped laborer, bankrupted man, fired reporter, etc...

Didn't you use the people who experienced injustice?

If it indeed is you, why are you doing all this?

I just gave them a chance.

A chance?

What kind of chance are you talking about?

A chance to communicate equally.

Communicate?

Using the anger of the weak people...

you gave them bombs, guns, and bottle explosives. Is that communicating?

Violence is also a tool for communication.

At this time, the government has sole dominance.

With an excuse to protect its people...

But they're only protecting the rich ones.

And if the people who realize that use what little violence they can, their act becomes criminal.

Within the fence they created...

No matter how much I screamed or wiggled, they didn't budge.

Ask him who they are.

Who are the ones you're referring to? Government?

The ones with power, the rich ones, and their dogs.

Dig for more specific information.

If so, government, officials, tycoons, police, media...

Are you talking about them?

Are they your target?

Also, the people who are watching this broadcast.

Are you saying the viewers can be your targets, too?

The evil doesn't grow on blood. It grows in silence.

If you close your eyes and ears to keep silent even after hearing and seeing the truths,

That's what fattens evil.

What is that truth?

What is the truth you're referring to?

The truths abandoned people of this nation used to shout...

The truths where people like you in the media kept quiet...

I think the suspect is either of those two spots.

We don't have much time. So, let's split in two teams and enter. Enter!

Don't worry.

Be careful in there.

Assemblyman, you can't be here.

Please take care of Reporter Yoon.

Don't worry and please get out.

Reporter Yoon Bo Ram, you know me, right?

- Yes. - We'll catch him for sure. Please endure.

I understand.

How long do you think it'll take?

10 minutes. No, endure for seven more minutes.

Please endure a little longer.

And say you can help him deliver the truth.

To the people who are watching this broadcast...

if you have any truth you want to deliver...

- please say it. - No, you say it.

What?

- What type of... - The truths you heard but didn't share in the media.

Reveal it yourself here.

I'll give you five minutes. If it's not good, that reporter is dead.

Every year, tens of thousands of patients receive treatment

at a major health clinic. A doctor...

repeatedly sexually harassed female patients who were under anesthesia. A whistleblower...

came forward to us.

However, because of the reason for the lack of fact checking...

- we didn't report... - You think I'm doing this to hear stuff like that?

You must care more about your position than the life of your colleague.

I can't help it.

Who should I kill after Reporter Yoon?

That cop?

- Who is that? - Oh, my...

Tell him what he wants to hear.

The truth I confessed... The truth behind the kidnapping...

A year ago in Philippines...

I'm sure you remember the kidnapping incident of the K Group employee.

At the time, Jeong Chan Ho who is known to have died of local endemic illness,

was actually shot to death by the kidnappers.

Now, it's getting better. You should say the reason, too.

Get off the air, a♪♪holes! Hurry up!

Then Reporter Yoon will die.

- This is an order! - The SWAT Team is on the move.

We need to make time.

Will you let your colleague die this way?

What? Turn it off! Off!

You...

Hey, Yoon Hee Seong, if you say another word...

I'll bury you with me. Let's survive together, a♪♪hole!

Why did you stop?

If you stop, the whole nation will watch the scene where Reporter Yoon's head blows up.

It's not me doing the killing. It's you guys and...

Say it. Everything.

From the get-go, the company gave an amount worth only one person to the negotiator.

In order to save as many lives as possible, the negotiator...

let them kill just one person

and saved the remaining four people in return.

Yoon Hee Seong, you a♪♪hole!

During the Lucille Restaurant incident,

the negotiator Joo Seong Chan, who received the threat from you...

I recorded the scene of him confessing, but I didn't air it due to an order from my superiors.

And for that, I'm sitting here in this seat.

That's right.

That's how you and Joo Seong Chan climbed up to that position.

Forget the ones who ask you guys to do that by selling the lives of the weak people.

People like you guys come out instead and...

ramble on about this being your best and that you're telling the truth.

What about you!

You're sacrificing innocent people to achieve your goal!

That's my way!

- Paying back exactly the same way they did! - The innocent are getting hurt!

Their theory is that the minority can get hurt for the benefit of the majority.

That's what I'm trying to teach them.

Must you do that?

Just like me, you're a victim of the New Town Redevelopment incident from thirteen years ago!

Answer me!

Five minutes have passed.

Hey, anchorman. The target may have changed, but the conditions remain the same.

Is that the only truths you guys buried? I'll give you ten seconds more for the last time.

If it's not good enough, that woman is dead.

10, 9, 8...

- We, at the broadcasting station, will report important news... - 7, 6...

Turn it down! Turn everything off!

- Instead of reporting... - 5, 4...

- we've been using threats, behind-the-scenes deals... - 3, 2...,

Yeo Myeong Ha, move!

Pied Piper

- On your knees! - Yeo Meong Ha, answer the phone!

The countdown is starting. What else could it be besides a bomb?

Hey, you crazy punk!

Are you prepared for whatever the price?

Where are you?

You're probably running out of time.

What does he mean... we're running out of time?

He might blow up this station when the countdown hits zero!

We're inside.

You didn't find that a♪♪hole, right? Where is this a♪♪hole?

Finally, we meet.
