PLACES, CHARACTERS, BUSINESSES,

AND INCIDENTS IN THIS TELEVISION SERIES

ARE USED IN A FICTITIOUS MANNER.

Not all coffees are the same.

Of course, no need to explain.

Your coffee is quite something.

If you want to make history,

you need more than the facts in a newspaper.

So...

That's why you've been working
on Digital Daily Korea.

After Daily Korea's apology,

internet users said Daily Korea
set the dignity of the press.

Look.

Their reaction shows it.

Yes.

Our effort finally sees the light.

Endless click-baiting...

Oh, sorry.

If we click-bait with good stories,

the world will become a better place.

Is click-baiting bad?

This is the value of a newspaper

and dignity of the press.

EPISODE 8 - DO YOU PREFER ALCOHOL TO COFFEE?

What? My video?

Was I filmed on the security tape?

Don't worry.

Chief told me to erase your part.

So I took care of it.

Anyway, it's gone.

I don't have any video
of the day the intern died.

Videos in the office and the elevator
are gone too?

Yeah.

15th floor took them away.

15th floor...

The CEO?

Why the heck?

There's no good if anyone sees it.

It might cause trouble.

Security guards on the 15th floor told me.

He has a secret safe in his office.

And he puts
all those confidential stuff in there.

Evidence for bigwigs corruption

and also company secrets.

It must be epic.

Chief Editor dealt with the situation somehow.

It's thanks to your good judgment
in choosing Editor Na.

I guess that piece is gone for good.

Chief Na brought it this morning.

Look.

What great insight he has.

I will neutralize this by tomorrow.

You should see MP Go and MP Jung first.

You got even with them.

Now, draw a firm line.

Bring Editor Yoon

and tell them it wasn't you or
Daily Korea that ordered the report.

Make it clear that Editor Yoon did it by himself

outside the company.

He said they would offer a position
for Editor Yoon

and Editor Yoon would decline it.

Chief guessed right.

I'll cancel the meeting with Editor Yoon.

Yeah.

Chief always takes good care of you.

Hey.

How's your project going?

Taking your responsibility?

How can it go well

when a member of my own family
is hoping it goes south?

Have you gone insane?

We are not a family.

I'm on a different level than you.

Wow.

You must really want us to fail.

Let's say we are a family.

Should you really attack your own family?

Chief handled it with a banner for today,

but tomorrow, it can be Jung Sae Jun, Kim Ki Ha,

and Yang Yoon Kyeong.

They all can be fired

because of your showing off.

Don't forget.

I hurt your feelings, sweetie.

I'm a bad mom.

Thanks to your morning soup,

my stomach's all better.

Sorry and thank you.

You are not a bad mom.

My friends are jealous of me

because my mom's a reporter.

My...

Teenage fingers. How fast.

Think about your kids.

They are still very young.

Aren't you scared?

Right.

I have an amazing daughter.

I'm not scared of anything.

What an amazing sticky note.

It's how Chief works.

Editor Yoon.

I have something to tell you.

Yeah?

Me too. Good.

Let's grab some coffee.

What?

Open it.

It's for your daughter.

What?

You are joking.

I don't have money for this.

I'll support her application counseling.

You know my son likes her.

He learns from her.

Their curriculum seems exceptional

not to mention their facilities.

I told you.

Does money really matter when it's for your kid?

You have to steal it if you need to.

It's going to cost too much.

You are really...

Listen.

I had to take a fake sabbatical

to visit the U.K. with my wife.

Is your pride more important than my troubles?

DAILY KOREA'S FAST APOLOGY AND SINCERE ATONEMENT

SHOWS THE DIGNITY OF KOREA'S BEST PRESS

We didn't even try to be subtle.

I've never seen anything this obvious.

Ludicrous!

We are not parasites!

REPORTER, HAN JUN HYUK

Don't you have any items?

What? Items?

I don't have any. Except for game items.

It's me.

What are you talking about?

Yesterday's sticky note mayhem.

It was me.

I started it while I was drunk.

What were you thinking?

I know.

Thinking hasn't done me any good.

I shouldn't think too much.

What is he saying?

I mean that was a thoughtless move!

Was it?

Hey, Lee Ji Soo.

Didn't you have something to cover?

What?

Don't explain.

Show it to me later.

Go cover it right now.

Be quick!

Yes, sir.

Where are you going?

I have a coverage.

Like she knows what that even is.

What coverage?

It's...

I knew it.

Your report was blind luck.

You are not going
to be the reporter of the month.

You got it wrong.

You can't do a coverage with wild thoughts.

Yes, I know.

Know what?

Thinking hasn't done me any good.

I shouldn't think too much.

I'm not going to think.

Instead, I'll follow, thrust, persist,

and "screw".

What?

Screw who?

She means me, right?

What's this?

It's an insult, right?

What if Chief finds out?

He already knows.

What?

Geez.

And he ordered you to do the follow-up report?

Yeah.

It's obvious.

Like Captain said,

he's going to use you as a scapegoat.

Lee Ji Soo!

Good, I was going to text you.

Why?

Let's do an interview together.

Interview who?

You'll find out.

Lead the way.

Good.

What are you going to do?

You said Chief made me a scapegoat.

Then I need a bulletproof vest.

Who are you going to dig?

I only have Go Su Do

and Go Yu Seop.

What?

Are you insane?

Don't worry.

I need this job too.

I'll try not to get fired.

He wants to go all the way.

We have to do the same.

Would you like to order?

What looks good...?

It's my treat, so order anything you want.

I'm having...curry.

No, gimbap.

Order something more expensive.

Curry and rice for me.

Curry and rice? Okay.

So...

Why are you buying lunch?

Who we are interviewing?

I'm going to interview you, so my treat.

What? Me?

Why?

It's a follow up on our misreport.

To have the right facts,

I have to interview you first,

who got the initial tip-off.

Also, I have some doubts about the process.

From now on, you are not my senior but a source.

And I'm not your junior but a reporter.

This is new.

Let's be serious. Okay?

Okay, reporter.

After the initial tip-off from your friend,

did you report to the Desk right away?

Of course.

I told Captain right after I got it.

Do you mean Deputy Editor Yang Yoon Kyeong?

Yes.

Did Deputy Editor Yang
tell Desk Editor Yoon right away?

Of course.

That's how I got the approval.

First doubt.

Chief found it out at the final stage
of the investigation.

Think about it.

It was a huge incident.

Chief should have known about it.

Why didn't Editor Yoon tell Chief?

As expected.

They are never useful.

How useless.

COMMISSIONER GO YU SEOP WILL BE ARRESTED
FOR GEUMON COMPANY SOLICITATION

COMMISSIONER GO YU SEOP WILL BE ARRESTED
FOR GEUMON COMPANY SOLICITATION

If you don't want to be fired,

don't do anything at all.

I hope you never come to use this.

Hey.

What are you doing?

What?

You left your coffee.

Right.

How's your wife?

Don't let her suffer.

What?

Treat your wife well.

Don't cross Chief.

You might get fired.

You can't get another job at your age.

I'm saying this for your wife.

Yes, sir. Where are you?

I'm going right now.

Yes.

Do you think

Editor Yoon tried
to keep quiet like Reporter Han

until it was finished?

Chief could have known

even if Editor Yoon didn't tell him.

What do you mean?

You saw it too.

Chief can cover thousands of sticky notes

with just one banner.

He must have found it out someway.

Right. That's my second doubt.

Chief didn't know anything,

and he found it out at the last moment.

How did he find out?

It might have leaked from the inside.

Inside?

Press companies sometimes
share inside information.

It might have leaked from inside,

and got into his ears.

I have someone in mind.

Who?

It's...

Hey!

You shouldn't believe me right away.

What?

I might lie. Your source might lie.

Wait.

Did you just trick me?

Think simply.

Complicated problems
tend to have simple answers.

Go Su Do or Go Yu Seop.

It's our only question.

Right, but...

I'm Han Jun Hyuk from Daily Korea.

Not important.

Did City Desk Editor send you?

What? No.

What's up with him?

You don't need to know.

What's your business?

When you come out,

would MP Go keep you near?

On his third term,

he is dreaming big to go
for the presidential election.

But you illegally
solicited 30 recruit applicants.

You're a nobody.

What?

You don't know anything.

He and I are...

Yeah.

I know you guys are related.

Third cousin to be exact.

Go who?

Geez.

Geumon is my family's playground.

30% of Geumon citizens are named "Go".

I have 30th cousins, let alone third.

I can't be responsible for someone

just because their last name is Go.

He was actually talking about Go Kyeong Wook.

MP Go's second cousin.

Four years ago,

he illegally bought and sold land
in the restricted area

and was investigated by the Prosecution.

I knew it.

That land is unrestricted now.

MP Go's brother-in-law
is building a resort on it.

And Go Kyeong Wook...

He was in a psychiatric ward until last year.

And he died this year of liver cancer.

You can lose or gain anything.

It's up to you.

But criminals must be punished.

If you volunteer for the punishment

of someone else's crime,

that's a big crime too.

About Go Yu Seop.

Is he cooperating well with the Prosecution?

He's memorizing the script well.

His prosecutor gave him one.

He is doing that now,

but he can change his mind at the last moment.

I told you if anything goes wrong,

Daily Korea can handle it.

Why would you...?

When my kid crashed his car,

you said you could cover up everything.

What?

That was the Chief.

I know.

Thirsty men dig the well.

Chief Na seems to be standing against you.

I can't depend just on you.

Environmental commissioner sounds good,

but all I do is clean up
dangerous industrial waste.

I can't make my son do that either.

Then...

Did you admit the solicitation you didn't commit

because of your son?

No.

I didn't say that.

Did he promise you something?

You should go now.

If he leaves like this,
I'll print what he just said.

Print?

Do as you want.

No one believes your misreports.

It's not a misreport.

You know, Daily Korea.

It's quite amazing, isn't it?

There is doubt behind every door.

It's our Daily Korea.

Though not perfect...

It might be someone's lifelong dream.

It's good that your friend got compensated,

even though it was late.

Huh?

Your friend who gave you the tip-off.

I don't know.

It's not all good news for her.

Why?

If there was no solicitation,

she would have been more than hired.

But she ended up as a relief measure case.

Everyone knows that she is more than qualified.

But she must have been discriminated

against those who got their job normally.

Even though she was discriminated
in the first place.

Discrimination...

Discrimination?

She was different, not discriminated.

Why?

Huh?

Nothing.

DESK EDITOR, UM SUNG HAN

Hey, Editor Um.

Do you have a drinking appointment after work?

I don't.

I'm not a habitual drunkard like someone I know.

You think I'm a butt-wipe anyway.

Why? Do you want a drink?

Not really.

I know a good fermented skate place.

Never mind.

With our situation, we should really not.

Next time then.

I'll go by myself.

Editor Jung.

It's not imported, right?

Imported, my butt.

What a slappable butt.

If you want it, follow me.

Wait for me.

I didn't say anything.

I'll look for the lessons.

Just go study wherever I arrange for you.

Your last spurt.

You only need 20 more points.

Yeah, I know.

Everyone else is going through hell too.

I have to go.

Let's talk at home.

What?

If you are free,

let's have dinner together.

Shame.

I'm having dinner with the CEO.

Oh, okay.

Why?

Do you have something to say?

No.

Thirsty men dig the well.

Chief Na seems to be standing against you.

I can't depend just on you.

What a butt-wipe.

Why aren't you eating like you used to?

Right back at you.

Don't get on my nerves.

Skate tastes the same,

but my organs are not the same.

How's your mother?

Is she doing well?

My mom's healthy as a horse.

She can still lift bags of rice.

What an amazing woman.

Your... No.

Our proud American son, Parker Jung.

How's he?

Are you crazy?

Parker's not your son.

I'm really hurt, you know.

I raised him on my back when he was tiny.

I have shares.

You're nuts.

Our Parker is studying at Stanford, doing well.

The name Stanford makes my heart race.

So how are you doing?

You and Chief...

Don't beat around the bush.

Be straightforward.

You are curious about MP Go, right?

Man.

How did you know?

You tend to underestimate me.

But I'm the Chief Editor of Digital Daily Korea.

When I hear you typing in the morning,

I know what you are searching for.

Darn it.

So?

I'm drunk, so I'll tell you one truth.

It's not a misreport.

Really? Then...

Focus on the result.

What is it? An incident or a business?

A business.

For a business, profit needs to be made.

Who owns that profit?

Right.

Why did you order the follow-up report?

We should appear to be self-correcting.

So we turn around the public opinion

and other press can't dig up our back.

Above all,

we and MP Go depend on the current government.

With a different one, we might be lost.

You need a weapon
in your back pocket, just in case.

Right.

Because of that unexpected suicide,

we do have to bear risk in our future actions.

I'll take care of that.

Please concentrate on your next move.

So...

Newbie junior reporter did an interview.

And the interviewee was her newbie senior.

Too humble for a big picture.

It's okay.

Coverage can turn up as nothing.

Why are you so serious?

It's not that.

What you said made me
think about something else.

Something else? What?

Recently, someone told me this.

Discrimination and difference are not the same.

Like your friend with the tip-off,

some fail with the right qualifications

because they have no money or connections.

That's unfair discrimination.

But like Soo Yeon,

some don't have the right qualifications.

That's a fair difference.

So it's unfair to discriminate
those without connections,

but it's fair to evaluate people

upon their educational background?

At least, it's an evident fact in Daily Korea.

Soo Yeon knew how it is.

Better than anyone else.

She must have suffered a lot worse.

Write.

What?

Don't mind the misreport or our follow-up.

Write what you felt today.

Journalists prove it with the stories.

Not with our mouths.

Let the readers think about
discrimination and difference.

Really? I can write about that?

Crazy eyes.

Hey.

I didn't say I would upload it.

I'm not the Desk Editor.

You're right.

How about you?

You said you met Go Yu Seop.

Yeah.

I did.

He turned out to be an ordinary parent.

But...

Rich people connect their young to stay richer.

Daily, Korea is becoming their turf.

It's the same everywhere.

What does that mean?

Didn't he simply mean "daily" and "Korea"?

Geez!

What the heck!

It's still early and you are hammered.

Um Sung Han, that butt-wiping loser.

He really takes care of his health.

So are you saying the CEO and MP Go

really had a secret business,

and Chief planned the whole thing?

I don't know who planned it.

But I know who got their hands dirty.

Editor Yoon.

Not important.

Did City Desk Editor send you?

Editor Yoon?

On what grounds?

Alibi.

It's a weird coincidence.

The day after Kyeong Woo got the list,

Editor Yoon took a sabbatical leave.

Said he needed overseas training.

For over a month.

What are you talking about?

Editor Yoon helped acquit MP Go
when he was on leave?

It's not that.

Yoon Kyeong, sit down.

I'm not saying he did it.

Look at the timing.

It's too planned for a coincidence.

It's suspicious.

Captain.

Do you know where he was on his leave?

I heard...

The U.K.

The U.K.?

Why there?

He was looking for a school for his kid.

I know you hate him because he's mean.

But don't suspect him
without any clear evidence.

Captain.

I shouldn't have said it.

I was too drunk.

Are you going home too?

Good night.

Wait for me.

You both did well today

as an interviewer and interviewee.

Drink some more if you want.

Thank you.

Exclusive!

Exclusive.

In your dreams.

Good night.

Let's get you home.

Insane...

Wait.

You know.

Let's have one last drink there.

What?

Over there.

Too hot.

Um Sung Han, that butt-wipe.

He drank as much as me

but he didn't seem drunk at all.

And he said he needed coffee to sober up.

Okay.

Coffee is very important to him.

Almost as important as the newspaper.

He drinks dozens of cups a day

to stay awake for work.

He is loyal to the company.

No, loyal to the Chief, I guess.

You think that's really all?

You know, he is...

Hi, mom. It's your son.

Did you have dinner?

I drank with Sae Jun today.

That douchebag is not my friend.

He is my subordinate.

I'm much higher up in the ladder.

No, that was a long time ago.

Anyway, don't worry about me.

Take care of yourself.

Yeah.

Okay. Sleep tight.

I'll call you again.

Yeah.

I miss my mom.

He might seem like a butt-wipe from the outside,

but he is quite substantial inside.

He meant what he said.

That it's not a misreport

and Editor Yoon did the dirty work.

He is giving us a hint to help our project.

Editor Yoon threatened me.

He is dead suspicious.

He threatened me too.

Really?

It's weird.

He has the CEO's favor,

so there's no reason for him to be scared of us.

It's his time to fall.

Birds that fly higher see farther away.

But it hurts more when they fall.

Are you going to deal with Editor Yoon?

Sir, with Editor Yoon...

I'll deal with him myself.

So please look the other way.

Okay.

I don't think Editor Yoon
will give up that easily.

Sir.

I was stupid to act up in front of you.

I wanted my son to study abroad.

It was my blunder.

So, you want me to keep you?

You don't know what you'll do if you're fired?

What? It's not that.

Hey, Sang Kyu.

I never know if you are a troubleshooter

or a troublemaker.

But until now, you aren't either.

So let's dwell on it some more.

Okay?

Sir?

Sir.

Aren't you going to order?

One cafe latte.

Make it reserve.

Sorry, we are out of reserve coffee.

It comes in only a minuscule amount.

Could I offer standard instead?

Standard? To me?

What the...?

We are all born different,

so we are headed in different directions.

Look.

A chick can end up other than fried or seasoned.

Classy braised chicken with cheese.

It's delicious.

When we are born,

it's all random. There's no standard.

There's no use to deem it as discrimination.

How about difference?

You can make difference with effort.

But think about it.

It's distasteful to brag about that.

Whoa.

You know you're bragging right now.

Bragging?

Does it look like bragging?

I'm just better off.

When I look at you,

you seem so carefree

even when you get discouraged.

Correct.

I lived an easy life.

There was nothing to worry about.

Is your family rich?

Yeah.

Not in the five biggest conglomerates.

More like in the top 50.

Wow. Really?

No worries, no modesty.

I envy you so much.

Ji Soo.

A well-off person like me shouldn't be modest.

That's more off-putting.

I agree.

You look so "on-putting" right now.

Thank you.

Stop laughing, you douchebag.

It's all because of you.

Why didn't you do it like me?

Yours is too curled.

I told them.

But they messed up anyway.

Messing with hair is a messy business.

SOUTH SEOUL POLICE STATION

When are you going to write stories?

I thought it was for a story.

Stop mentioning stories.

Did you get lucky?

Yeah, that Yoon Sang Kyu guy.

He didn't leave the country during that period.

Really?

Yeah.

Why?

Is there something going on with him?

Not really.

Why? Do you know her?

That girl.

In the car.

She looks familiar.

Maybe she works in Daily Korea.

Did you talk about anything else after I left?

No, we didn't.

Everyone left right away

and I had one more drink with Ji Soo.

CITY DESK

Captain.

Is Editor Yoon really...

It's not your business.

Don't say anything.

Okay.

COMMISSIONER GO YU SEOP WILL BE ARRESTED
FOR GEUMON COMPANY SOLICITATION

PARK SUNG HEE

PARK SUNG HEE

Park Sung Hee, a pop artist in the U.S.,

came back to Korea to prepare for her wedding.

She is the daughter of
the late president of Korea Group,

and also the nephew of
Daily Korea's current CEO.

Her fiancé hasn't been identified,

but there's a rumor

that he is the son of a powerful politician.

Rich people connect their young to stay richer.

Daily, Korea is becoming their turf.

It's the same everywhere.

GO SU DO'S SON

NO RESULTS FOUND

DETECTIVE KIM

I thought it was a weird coincidence.

It turned out to be planned.

What's this?

It can't be...

Yeah, it's MP Go's office.

On the second day of his leave.

Editor Yoon's really involved in this?

Yeah.

I got another tip.

But I can't connect that yet.

Don't tell Captain yet.

We should check the facts first.

Only us?

How?

To catch a trash reporter,
you have to be one too.

We have to meet MP Go.

Are you crazy?

He won't meet us.

We need the right actor for it.

A good-looking and top-class actor.

Let's see.

Everyone in that building knows you.

You will be kicked out right away.

Manager Kim's face is okay,

but the acting... Not so much.

Screw you.

Anyway.

I'm the only handsome actor around here.

No, I'm here too.

Good-looking and top-class acting.

Exclusive!

It's not going to take long, right?

I can't believe this.

Seriously.

You don't have the eyes for it.

You are a bit inadequate.

Sir, what you're doing right now

is unfair discrimination, not a fair difference.

Let her do it.

Or she will scoop your eyes out.

MP GO SU DO

Have you heard this phrase?

It's a very important one.

"BAP" is mightier than "PEN".

Seriously.

You promised not to mention that again.

It doesn't matter.

You might lose your precious job.

Weren't you going to make me a real reporter?

You should pay the debt.

I tell you again.

We are not cops...

I know. We are reporters.

Please come in.

Yes.

Hello.

Editor Yoon sent you?

He didn't call me.

What?

We came because
he couldn't ask this one himself.

And we also wanted
to have a cup of coffee with you.

By the way,

I've never seen you before.

I know almost everyone
at Political and City Desk.

Are you new?

I'm Han Jun Hyuk.

I started my career at City Desk,

and I write for Digital Daily Korea now.

We are one big family.

And this one is...

I'm Digital Daily Korea's
junior reporter, Lee Ji Soo.

Junior?

Yes, Editor Yoon's favorite.

Actually,

he took her everywhere during his business trip.

She's been doing everything for him.

I guess you didn't have the chance to see her.

Yes. That's right.

He really prizes me.

When we were on our business trip,

I did all the work.

You must not have heard.

Bring two cups of coffee.

What did you want to talk about?

It's about Daily Korea.

It's for your parliament activity.

You know what it is.

What?

Editor Yoon made contact with MP Go?

He told me not to tell you.

But I thought you should know.

We are in this together,

but I don't know about Jun Hyuk.

I'm worried he might take the fall by himself.

Instead of coffee, bring hot green tea.

No, make it two cups of black tea.

I almost didn't catch it.

You should have told me earlier!

Excuse me?

Oh, yes.

Right, sir.

Come in.

Right.

It's only natural to want tissue
when you got your hands dirty.

I guess Editor Yoon couldn't tell me
to juice you up himself.

Right, it's not tasteful.

We used to throw tantrums

and growl at each other,

but we never forgot to fill the other's pocket.

That romance doesn't exist anymore.

A bunch of idiots overused that privilege.

Look where we ended up!

So you've brought it back.

What an expensive tea party.

Do you give green cash for green tea

and yellow cash for black tea?

Correct!

How classy.

No wonder you were elected for three terms.

First term? Money.

Second term? Also money.

Third term?

It's also money.

Drink up before it gets cold.

I expect good stories from you.

I appreciate your expectation.

But no thanks.

What are you doing?

For sentimental purposes.

I want to remember your generosity.

Why didn't you just treat us some coffee?

You answered even before I questioned.

Thank you for everything today.

Huh?

I'll tell you out of my gratitude.

It's about Go Yu Seop.

My guess is that he agreed
to take the blame for you

and you promised his son a bright future.

Isn't he one of your aides?

Go Jin Tae.

Hello.

I'll ask this question again later.

Prepare your answer.

For your information,

we are talking about
your personal solicitation list.

You know that, right?

You...!

Editor Yoon didn't send you.

We told you.

We are from Digital Daily Korea.

Honestly, Editor Yoon
doesn't consider us one family.

He says we are on a different level.

What are you talking about?

I asked who wrote the solicitation list.

And I asked why you're asking me that!

Did you go to U.K. at all?

Hey.

How can you disregard my generosity?

Wake up!

You can't go back.

Are you really going to cross that line?

I don't know how high you want to go.

If your son finds out your...

Think before you talk.

What are you gaining from this?

Don't you know how this business works?

You avoid risks and seize opportunities.

Responsibility? Remorse?

Can you cash out compliments?

Don't starve to death in front of a feast.

Of course, "BAP" is mightier than "PEN".

But I'm not going
to feed my kids your rotten food.

I can feed them myself.

Can you really?

You trash reporters.

Your CEO clearly has no idea you are here.

Of course, you'll be fired.

But do you really want
to see the end of Daily Korea?

You heard, right?

From now on, we risk being fired.

Think hard.

Thinking hasn't done me any good.

Let's face it head-on till the end.
