Honey. Get up, honey.

Cut! Okay! Good work!

Good work!

[Wanted] [Episode 1]

- All right. Hello! - Hello!

Oh, there's someone over there, too! Hello!

- Congratulations. - Congrats.

- Wow! All right, please wave. - Congratulations!

Alright, I'm recording now.

Please say something to congratulate their 7th anniversary!

Congratulations on your 7th wedding anniversary!

- Oh, hey there! Hello! - What is this?

- To congratulate them on the marriage. - Oh, congratulations!

Oh, and who is this life of the party?

Wow! Look at that! Hey, Jong Hae!

Hey, record later, man.

Sheesh, you.

Hey, what's with those geezers over there?

Hey, don't call them that.

They're my investors from this time around.

It'll be out in Japan, China, Southeast Asia

and even the Middle East.

Are you talking about that reality show?

Wow, you guys become more of a power couple every day!

How about scaling it back a bit

now that you two are living cushy lives, eh?

- Shut up and have some cream. - Sheesh.

Oh! Oh! I have to MC!

It's a movie where Ms. Jung Hye In

plays a mother who loses her son and seeks revenge.

This movie, "Mother," has announced the last set it'll be using for a shoot.

It's a movie by the beloved director Kim Hong Joon.

Everyone is wondering if Ms. Jung

might be the next Queen of Cannes with this movie.

- Excuse me! - Please look here!

Excuse me!

Mom.

How'd you get here, Hyun Woo?

This is for you.

Thanks, honey.

- Wow! - Wow!

- Wow. - I'm so jealous!

Oh, excuse me for a second.

- Wow. - So handsome!

- Wow! - Wow!

It's kind of slapped together, but...

Wow!

Hyun Woo. Go to my car.

I'll be right there, so stay in the car with Kyung Hoon.

Hyun Woo.

Give Mom a kiss.

- Come on! - Why?

Because Mommy really needs it right now.

- Okay, go. - Okay.

You can hold onto this for today. Be strong!

Go on.

Yes, I wrote the entire script with Ms. Jung Hye In in mind.

She's an actress who can analyze a script and gives great performances.

It's to the point that her talent is almost eerie sometimes.

Her performance, in many cases, was even better than I was expecting

so I'm always quite thankful to her.

Director, I feel that there must've been some notable occurrences during filming.

Um... I'm sure that you'll know later, when you watch the movie

but there's a scene where Ms. Hye In has a 5 minute monologue.

It's a scene that nobody else beside Ms. Hye In could do, so I...

I know this may be a bit sudden to ask

but will your next project feature Ms. Jung, as well?

Well, yes, as long as Ms. Hye In would be willing to work with me again.

What about you, then, Ms. Jung Hye In?

I don't think I could, Director.

Um, I'm not sure if she's saying that she can't, or she won't.

Is it because of the reality TV show that UCN is airing soon?

No.

There's something I'd like to tell all of you today.

I've received an incredible amount of unconditional love for 20 years now.

Now I'd like to say goodbye to my role as an actress

which was the greatest role I've ever played

and live as a normal mother, a normal wife...

and a normal neighbor to you all.

This movie will be my last, and I'll be retiring.

Thank you.

Actress Jung Hye In just announced that she'd be retiring

during an interview for her movie "Mother"!

- What? - What's going on?

- What the hell is she saying? - I'm sure this can't be true.

I eased their worries as best as I could, and sent them off, but...

What agency are you from? Do you work for that person?

Are you that person's employee, or are you my manager?

I'm sorry. They told me that everything was discussed, so...

Don't you know how many programs will be covering this?

You even dragged Hyun Woo into this and tried to change their opinions...

Are you awake?

- I'm hungry. - You're hungry, huh?

I have to go and return the things you borrowed from the sponsors, so...

Have some water first.

Mom, are you mad that I came here without telling you?

Is that why you said that you'd quit working?

No. I did it so that I could be with you every day.

Hyun Woo, want to go live in France with Mommy?

[Hyun Woo's Dad]

Are we immigrating? Did Dad say we should do that?

What if only the two of us were going, without Dad?

Jung Ho. Jung Ho!

When Hye In gets home later, talk to her.

This is why I told you that you had to convince her first!

Shut it.

This project will go as planned, no matter what it takes.

Hye In is a force to be reckoned with, you know.

You've cornered her, which is why she's doing this.

Do you think that I don't know how she is?

I knew she'd betray me sooner or later.

My father sat me down on the day of my high school graduation and told me

"You'll see how people and the world keep stabbing you in the back."

"So how will you live?"

"There's two paths you can take."

"First, just keep trusting everyone, despite that."

"And make people repay the trust you gave them."

"Or secondly, be the one who stabs them in the back first."

"Figure out their weaknesses."

Which path would you choose?

I'd probably choose to trust people.

Of course. Of course you would.

No... more like, you did.

Everyone said that your docu-series would be hard to produce

but you did your best to try and convince others into helping

and you believed that I'd believe you, too.

- I'm sorry. - No need for that.

I chose the second path, to betray others first, and that's what I did.

Joon Gu. This is not the time for you to be worried about Hye In right now.

All the money that you used to produce the show

and all the money you owe, as well as all the other debts you have...

not to mention, all the money that your company has lost

and your relationship with the broadcasting company is at risk.

I'll take responsibility for whatever I--

Oh, really?

Then you take responsibility for all this.

I've set everything in place with my legal team from the very beginning

and made it seem as if this was all planned outside of my company.

The company itself didn't break any contracts.

Therefore, the lion's share of the blame will definitely fall upon you

and you'll be accused of embezzlement, too.

- Jung Ho! - You get it now, right?

That Hye In will have no choice but to do what I want, too.

Oh yeah.

Here, take a cab home.

[Hyun Woo's Dad]

Why aren't you picking up Dad's calls?

Are you giving this to me, to eat?

Hi!

You said you wanted to see how we make fake blood, right?

Right now?

It's okay if I take him for a bit, right?

Go with Kyung Hoon. Oh, wait. Take your phone.

Kyung Hoon! Bring him back in 20 minutes, okay?

I'll be taking a quick nap. I'll leave him to you, then!

[Hyun Woo's Dad]

[Hyun Woo]

Hyun Woo! Hyun Woo, let's go now.

Oh, where are you? Are you with Hyun Woo?

I'm back at the set to pick up Hyun Woo...

Hyun Woo isn't here?

I sent you to go with Hyun Woo!

Reporter Kim kept hounding me, so...

but I did see that he came in here.

Are you all done cleaning up there?

Um, have you seen Hyun Woo?

He came here with a guy who had a huge scar on his arm.

Oh... that kid is a part-timer.

All the part-timers were sent home a while ago.

And I didn't see him after that.

Hey! Have you seen Hyun Woo? Huh? Have you seen him?

- No, I haven't! - You didn't?

No, I haven't.

Hyun Woo! Where could he be?

- Hyun Woo! - Hyun Woo!

Hyun Woo!

[Mom, he said that he wants us to go somewhere fo--]

[If you don't want your child to get hurt, watch this video alone]

I don't think he's over here, either.

Oh... he lost his phone and asked me to find it for him.

Apparently, Hyun Woo's dad took him.

Apologize to the staff for me, and buy them dinner.

You go ahead, okay? I'll drive myself there.

Okay. Will you be all right, though?

Of course. Go ahead now, okay? Go.

[If you report this to the cops, Hyun Woo will die immediately.]

She's already dead. Died the night she went missing.

But why didn't her mother report it for three whole days?

Apparently, the daughter spent the night out without notice

so she thought nothing of it.

But she saw that people were watching some video as they played a video game

and she realized that it was her daughter in the video.

Sheesh.

There's so much sauce on it that it made everything so messy!

I'll have to take a shower after I'm done broadcasting.

Huh? That's weird. There's nobody home right now.

You guys are trying to scare me, right?

Stop it! I'm getting scared!

- All right, spill it. - What?

The reason why you said that this girl is probably dead.

Well, usually, if three days have passed after a kidnapping--

People come back just fine after being kidnapped

after a week, a month, or even a year.

The culprit kidnapped the victim after confirming that she was broadcasting.

But he hasn't made any announcements about this after the fact.

That means that she may have died, due to an accident...

- Wow, that's amazing. - Am I correct?

Right, my ass.

Why are you trying so hard to force together pieces that don't fit?

And what if there's a possibility that the girl is alive?

Um... maybe she planned this so that her show would get more...

There's no corpse.

Until I see their dead body, they're still alive...

as far as I'm concerned.

Um, what kind of--

What are you looking at me for? Go!

Oh... yes, sir.

That kid is a crazy bastard, too.

Why did he insist on working for that kind of deadbeat?

[Hyun Woo's Dad]

[The Police]

- Hyun Woo's Dad... - I get it.

I get that you're having a hard time

so go to the hospital and rest for a few days.

I can push back the announcement of the new project.

That's not it. Our Hyun Woo is--

Stop using our Hyun Woo as an excuse.

Didn't you know just what an important day this was

for me and my company?

Important enough to have used me?

If only you hadn't sent Hyun Woo here today...

Fine, you can use Hyun Woo as much as you want.

Just do as I say.

Life would be meaningless without him, isn't it?

If you don't want to lose him, work your butt off...

oh, yeah, about your old in-laws...

How do you think they'll react when they find out

that Hyun Woo is actually your ex-husband's son?

Let go!

- Where are we going? - Where do you think?

- Maybe to the-- - Her house.

Oh, I guess we can check out the other places later, then.

Sir, you know, I really went to great lengths to become your partner!

You're not going to ask me why?

Because I'm the best at catching criminals.

Oh, come on. Coach! You really don't remember me?

I learned boxing from you seven years ago!

Yes, it's me! You know, that outcast crybaby.

I got the crap kicked out of me on my first day

and then I lost two of my teeth because I hit my head against you.

Did you, now? How are you still alive?

Well, thanks to you, I got out of there

and really worked hard to become a cop.

I even sent you Christmas cards every year!

You really don't remember me?

I'm the type to try and keep my mind free from useless information.

Wow, If you can't remember this, what do you remember?

The victim's face. And the criminal's face.

The criminal's?

[Bucket List]

Have you ever seen your daughter's boyfriend?

No. She's been so excited lately, you see.

She said her boyfriend had a connection with some broadcasting company

so he'd be helping her make her TV debut.

But it's clear she ended up this way

because she keeps seeing thuggish bastards!

Sheesh.

A girl like that didn't come home for three days, and yet you didn't report it?

Do you know anyone who has a burn scar, like this one?

Someone like a relative, a neighbor, or a store clerk around here.

She never mentioned where her boyfriend lived?

Or his contact information?

Is he the one who did it?

Do you have the contact info of any of her close friends?

Or do you know where she'd go when she left home?

She usually hangs out at an internet cafe.

But she wasn't there this time around.

And all the people she hangs out with

told me that they haven't seen her after that day.

[5/22 - Rapchat: olson_welles21 Signal 300,000]

What's that?

If anyone contacts you

or if you remember anything that would be helpful

please give me a call right away.

Get her hard drive.

Yes, sir!

You can't park there.

- I... - Aren't you Ms. Jung Hye In?

[Why did you go to the police station? If you report this, Hyun Woo will die.]

[Go home and wait.]

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I'll, um, be back.

Who the hell are you?

Who are you! Stop right there! Hey!

[Wanted: Prologue]

She is sitting with the director, but her thoughts are consumed by something else.

She's acting as if nothing is wrong, but is preparing herself.

She's debating whether she should be honest, since this is the end

or she should end things by saying something nice.

As the director speaks, his voice seems to be getting further and further away

and debates which speech she should make while shuffling two sheets of paper.

When the reporters ask a question

she says,"I don't think I'll be able to do it."

And then, she makes an announcement that she will be retiring.

You said you wanted to see how fake blood is made, right?

Bring him back in 20 minutes, okay?

Make a real-time reality TV show, with Jung Hye In as the lead.

There will be a mission sent to you at 10 p.m. every night

for a show with 10 episodes.

If Jung Hye In completes the missions without a hitch

she will be sent evidence that Hyun Woo is safe.

If she manages to get through all ten episodes

Hyun Woo will be sent back to her safely.

Mommy!

1. The first episode will air two days from today, on Saturday.

2. You must successfully complete your missions.

3. If you do not broadcast, or fail in your mission, Hyun Woo will die.

4. If the viewership rating falls below 20 percent, Hyun Woo will get hurt.

Mommy!

First, make a preview.

When you do, I'll send you the first mission.

[Wanted]

She is preparing herself to announce her retirement

which she has spoken to nobody about.

She debates whether or not she should be honest, since this is the end

or she should just say some niceties that will please the crowd.

Hye In.

We have to report this to the cops.

We can't. They're watching my every move.

They even knew everything that happened yesterday, as well as my plans to retire.

And what about Jung Ho? What did he say about this?

But even so, he's Hyun Woo's father!

Use Hyun Woo as much as you want. Just do as I tell you.

Your life is meaningless without him, right?

So if you don't want to lose him, work your butt off.

Oh yeah, about your old in-laws...

How do you think they'd react if they knew

that Hyun Woo is actually your ex-husband's son?

You know just what kind of person he is, better than anyone else.

I'm really sorry, but I can't do this.

That's all you can expect from a guy like me.

- Joon Gu. I... - No.

Even if I said that I wanted to do this

I have no power to make those kinds of decisions.

Um, there is one person who could do this, but...

Sir! We're in the middle of rehearsal!

You can't come in now!

Let's take a ten minute break!

What are you doing? Go take care of things.

Sir. I'm about to lose my mind, too. So please, just let me off the hook.

And why's that?

Since you stole a program that I worked my ass off to make great

you should be doing great!

Why are you here?

I heard that I was fired on the day before shooting was supposed to start.

So I didn't get a chance to say a proper farewell to my successor

or to my staff, who I'd grown so close to, or to the contestants.

- That's why. - What is he--

[If this gets out, you won't be able to handle the backlash.]

Sit.

Eat up. You like eating things raw, after all.

Do you think I stole this show from you on purpose?

- The higher-ups-- - I know that you had no choice.

Even so, I was your mentor.

So couldn't you give me a goddamn call, even if I was the biggest asshole to you?

Make sure you do this well

since things ended up this way anyway.

I didn't realize before, but what I once considered to be my whole world...

is really quite small.

I didn't come here for personal reasons.

I have a request to make of you.

Hyun Woo ended up like that. Then, they sent me this.

[Wanted]

You should've told the cops. Why are you bringing this to me?

Read it.

And what did your husband say?

You're the only one who can produce this show, Dong Wook.

- I can't do this either. - You once said

that you wanted to work on a show that didn't just have people talk and laugh

but a show that so influential it could drive someone to suicide!

That was way in the past.

I heard that you quit working at the broadcasting company.

I heard that you've been blacklisted

so it'll be hard for you to work independently, too.

You can make a comeback with this.

Ask someone else.

I'll do everything you tell me to do.

I'll smile and cry whenever you tell me to.

I'll even strip or dance, if that's what you want me to do.

I'll even put on a dying act if you tell me to do that.

- Get up. - I'll make this show amazing.

I'll make sure you score the best sponsors for this show, too.

I'll make sure you get the best viewership ratings you've ever gotten.

Weren't we talking about your son?

That's what I'm saying!

I'll do whatever it takes to get my son back.

So please, produce this show for whatever reason you may have.

Please. Please. Please, help me.

Please, save my son!

Hey, how are we supposed to coordinate all three of them?

Just take care of them individually.

What about the down payment? Do we just give it up?

That'll take too long. Let's just meet them in person and take care of it.

You can't do that. If you do, you'll just get scammed out of money.

What was that?

Oh my gosh, you surprised me.

We're looking for some people who scammed our guys out of money.

Have you guys ever gotten scammed before?

You know.

Has there been a guy who was nice, but then got physical?

Someone with a burn on their arm.

I'm telling you, that guy is a total con artist!

If you've seen him, just tell me. I'll get your money back, too.

This guy is my friend Ji Eun's boyfriend.

He was dating me at first, but the two of them really hit it off.

Let me take a picture of this photo. Do you know the guy's name?

Or his number?

Is this his online ID?

I'm not completely sure, but I think so.

- You're a cop, right? - Yeah.

- Damn it! - Damn it!

Report this to the cops.

The cops will find out about this when the show airs, anyway.

Do you think that Hyun Woo is still alive?

I'm sure that he's safe since they have to

send me evidence that he's alive as we shoot the show.

I'll do it.

I'm not doing this for you.

I'm just curious as to whether or not making such a show will be possible.

The only network that we can work with is UCN.

President Song Jung Ho is Hyun Woo's dad, after all.

Tell me the reason why I should spend any money on such a show.

Besides the fact that I'm Hyun Woo's dad.

Give me a reason that would satisfy the President of UCN.

The fact that you're Hyun Woo's father isn't a good enough reason?

The highest ratings Ms. Jung Hye In have gotten for a drama

is 38 percent.

And among the programs I produced, the highest viewership rating I got was

- despite all odds-- - But it was on a public channel.

What could a retired actress and a fired PD possibly do?

Well, it's not like UCN is in the best situation right now.

I know you're being sued for not paying someone

and the price of your shares have plummeted.

And you're undergoing investigation for avoiding taxes.

Isn't this a great chance for you, too?

Tell Mr. Choi Joon Gu to come in.

Those are all issues that can be solved by taking care of the problems' source.

And I have a way of doing that, too.

Come in.

This program will definitely make you money.

We'll allot four spots for ads to air during the show

and we can put even more ads in if we shorten the length of the program.

We'll have quite a lot of ad time to sell for reruns, as well.

I'm sure that the viewers will wonder whether or not we can find the child

and about what the next mission may be about.

I'm sure that the ratings will only go higher and higher.

A CPM is possible, as well.

I'm sure you can take care of a lot of UCN's money problems with this--

Okay. Hire as few people as possible and direct this like an independent show.

All right.

Assemble a staff. All freelancers.

We'll start airing it on Saturday, and it'll be on at 10 p.m. every week.

I'll give you a time slot as a special program.

Is that all?

I'll be the producer in charge of this.

I'm fine with that.

Do you think that that will actually work?

Find someone else to figure out your legal issues.

There has to be a sane person on the staff to make a crazy show, after all.

But why does that person have to be you, of all people?

Because someone needs to take responsibility if it fails.

You sure are great at grabbing opportunities for yourself.

Okay.

I'm sure that there was something else you could've gained

by lying and saying that this was all for Hyun Woo.

Is it because you're not really his father?

The thing about words is that they're quite powerful.

But they only have any power when they leave one's mouth.

And people only use words as weapons when they're on the defensive.

- I think I get it. - What?

Why you weren't the first one Ms. Jung told about all this.

I got three shots of espresso in yours.

No need to do such nice things for me. Have you been doing well?

- Work on a project with me. - For which company?

- UCN. - I don't work with them.

I saw that they're under fire for not paying properly.

Do they even have the money for a new show?

How many programs have you worked on lately, Writer Yeon?

- Four. - And are you getting any sleep?

Six times a day, for 30 minutes at a time.

- And how much are you earning? - Why does that concern you?

Are you going to pay me?

No, I'll give you even more than that.

And I'll pay your severance fees, too.

But, you have to only work on this one.

Wow, that's quite a bargain.

It's making me swoon more than two years ago

when I got proposed to by a younger guy.

- Let's do it. - I don't really want to work with you.

But, working with me was all right, wasn't it?

That's because I had no expectations of you, as a human being.

And that's why I'm asking you to work with me.

So, what kind of project is it? I'll hear you out, at least.

I'll be with Hye In, then, so I'll see you at the meeting.

What's this? Hmm.

You're 26, and as for college... where is this?

- In Gangneung. - So is that your hometown?

- No. I'm from Seoul. - So why here, then?

Um, it's because I wasn't good at studying.

You don't look dumb, though.

You took first place in a hackathon in 11th grade...

Talk to me about that.

Oh, that's just a hobby of mine.

I didn't keep up with it, though, so I'm a bit rusty.

You were a BJ at Coconut TV? And you filmed a short movie?

You can film, too?

Yes, even though I'm somewhat of a beginner at it.

I'll work really hard!

You do know what kind of program this is, right?

Yes. I'll do my best so that we'll be able to find Hyun Woo, for sure!

Finding Hyun Woo is the police's job.

All we do is follow the kidnapper's orders.

Then, I'll work hard to make a good... program...

That's my job.

I'm not expecting much. Just follow orders, and keep up.

- Yes, sir! - See you at the meeting, then.

I'll be seeing you later, sir!

[Live-broadcast reality TV show "Wanted"]

I'm sure that there will be a huge uproar when the show airs.

I'm sure that there will be tons of pressure from cops, too.

I'm sure that President Song will be able to take care of that.

There's a limit to that, though.

We have to make it as if the country is searching for Hyun Woo together.

A child's life is at stake, and not many people will be able to ignore that.

A viewership rating of 20 percent, huh?

We'll have to gain more interest with a preview for episode 1.

You have the videos that the criminal sent you, right?

The ones where Hyun Woo is tied up.

How about putting those up on Facebook and Twitter?

They'll have shock value, and garner a lot of attention.

You use Facebook, right?

- Shin Dong Wook. - What?

Are you trying to find my kid, or use him?

Put what up, now? "Garner attention?"

I thought you said you'd do anything I told you to.

Why did you get on your knees and beg me

if you were going to freak out about something as small as this?

If you can't control your emotions

you don't need to be in the meetings.

We'll take care of everything.

We'll give you the script later, so leave.

Hey, be a bit easier on her!

Just leave her. It'll only get harder from here on out.

Hye In, I'm sure that PD Shin didn't mean it like that.

You know that people say the darnedest things during meetings.

He did that on purpose because he knew it'd be hard for you to be there.

You know that, don't you?

I'm okay. I'll come back in after a bit.

I heard that Kim Ji Woo is coming out today on "Kiss and Talk."

Oh, really? I'll bet that'll really bring in the ratings for today.

Hey, but isn't "Kiss and Talk" such a fun variety show?

I mean, a live talk show? That's ridiculous!

That's why they purposely ask really touchy questions.

Well, the States has shows that are even worse than that, anyway.

If you'd just help me... if you just protect my child...

If you'd just protect my child...

If you could just forgive me, God...

Don't go, Mom. Sleep with me.

- Sorry. I have to film today. - Then, don't turn the lights off.

If you do, I'll have scary dreams!

You won't be able to get a good night's rest

if I keep the lights on.

Let's do this, then.

Hyun Woo, who's the strongest out of those guys?

Iron Man!

Correct! Look under your pillow. There's a present for you.

Really?

It's Iron Man!

- Let me put it on for you. - Hurry!

This guy will protect you in my stead. So you'll be able to sleep well, right?

Go to sleep, then.

Two minutes. Okay, go!

Please, have a seat.

Wow, we were totally surprised! You didn't know either, right, Mr. Kim?

No, I didn't.

She heard that you'd be on the show, and contacted us.

Yeah, it's me. What? Okay.

Ms. Hye In, you suddenly announced your retirement not too long ago.

So what brings you on the show today?

I heard that this program had the best viewership ratings.

I guess you weren't really retiring. You were just switching to variety shows!

Ms. Jung Hye In? Ms. Jung Hye In?

To be honest...

I came here because there was something I wanted to say

to everyone about the day I announced my retirement.

On that day...

my son, Hyun Woo, was kidnapped.

Do you even have any intentions of finding him?

That's the only way we'll get a happy ending.

Why are you curious about how I feel? All you have to do is find Hyun Woo.

Ms. Park Soo Young! It's the police!

Today's episode has no mission.

Maybe they never intended to follow through with doing a TV show.

Isn't this weird?

Hey!

Who are you? Hey! Hey!

- Let's take it easy. - I'm not a weirdo!

Okay? Okay?

I'm Cha Seung In from the Gangnam Police Department.

There's some things I'd like to come and confirm at the scene of the crime.

- Where is Hyun Woo? - Your son is not here.

- Did you locate Jung Hye In? - I tried, but...

Act if you have to, then, punk!

It looks like the program is going down the crapper and a child is about to die

so what the hell are you doing?

- Mommy... - Hyun Woo!
