ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES, AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL.

You and I must be fated to meet each other.

Working in the same place with the same people, just 5 years apart.

I know. I guess we're indeed fated to meet each other.

I'm going to get the ledger from the Jin Woo I know.

Jin Woo from five years ago...

must still be torn.

We cannot change the past,

but we can make the right decision in the present.

You know it.

That I've always trusted you.

I didn't know you'd come.

Thank you.

I know it must have been hard to come here.

No.

Of course, I came.

You spoke with Jung In...

right before she died, didn't you?

What did my daughter say to you at that time?

She asked me to reveal the truth with her.

She told me she found out who killed my brother.

Jung In...

died because of us.

If we had just...

revealed the truth sooner,

instead of covering it up, blinded by our greed,

if only we had listened to Jung In,

this wouldn't have happened to her.

It's all our fault.

I'll try to fix this.

I'll put everything back...

in its rightful place.

CHEONSHIMAE FUNERAL HOME

Lee Jin Woo. Mr. Lee!

What are you trying to do?

What do you mean, you'll return everything to its rightful place?

You should know exactly what I mean.

Think this over, Mr. Lee.

We're both candidates for the presidency right now.

We don't know who will be the one to be elected.

- It'll be one of us. - Is that so important right now?

Jung In, Seo Jung In, is dead.

You really...

I'll put everything back in its original place,

in its rightful place.

That's the right thing to do.

CHEONSHIMAE

It's me.

I need you to take care of something for me right away.

Where are you right now?

Did you confirm Lee Jin Woo's location?

Yes, we're looking for him now.

Once you find him,

take his cell phone away first. Do you understand?

I understand.

But Ms. Kim, he's still a presidential candidate.

Is this really all right?

The public will be watching.

Did you not hear what I just said?

If you don't confiscate his phone,

being a presidential candidate will be meaningless.

It's not just me who might suffer the consequences, it's you too.

So take the phone,

even if you have to kill him to do it.

It was Baek Kyu Min and Kim Young Ju.

You have to undo the wrong decisions we made in the past...

It will not be me.

I am not an outstanding individual. I'm sorry.

Hold on! Can you tell us why?

- Why did you change your mind? - Can you give us an explanation?

- Hold on. Excuse me. - Can you tell us what's happening?

We will contact you separately, so please hold off on the story.

Hey. Hey!

What are you talking about?

I know that you were planning to get rid of us...

and Baek Kyu Min after you become president.

I got a phone call from Mr. Nam in 2019, and found out that way.

Once you become President, you abandon us all.

Those within the party who were corrupt,

those you worked with unwillingly to rise to power,

Baek Kyu Min, and all the others.

He told me you were planning to end their political careers.

PRESIDENT WHO WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE! CANDIDATE 1, SEO KI TAE

So you tried to kill me...

because of something that will happen in a few years?

So you're asking me to believe that?

You must.

The Jung In of five years from now is the one who saved you.

She used Lee Jin Woo to do so.

I'm here to see Candidate Seo.

You can't go in right now.

- Candidate Seo. - Hold on.

Please leave.

To be honest,

I don't know why you came to see me.

Up until recently, you tried to kill me.

I would like to apologize first for being unable...

to believe what you told me.

I just found out...

that the people who killed Geun Woo were Baek Kyu Min and Kim Young Ju.

What are you talking about?

Why would they do that to Geun Woo?

I got a call...

from me,

five years in the future.

Do you expect me to believe...

I got a phone call from Mr. Nam in 2019, and found out that way.

Over there! Get him!

Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Candidate Lee. I know you're in here.

We'll leave quietly as long as you give us your cell phone.

We don't want to do this either.

Stop playing around and come out.

Because of me, who covered up the truth to get revenge,

and you, who covered up the truth to get to your position,

your daughter, Seo Jung In, ends up dying...

in five years.

Come out. I said, come out!

Come out!

Give me your cell phone!

Myself from five years later asked for a favor...

of you and me.

While getting revenge for my brother and becoming president is important,

if we only focus on that,

we'll both end up losing something precious to us.

That's why I'm here to ask you for your help.

Become president...

and reveal...

the truths you concealed yourself.

That's the only way you can protect this country that you love...

and your daughter.

I've experienced a lot of unbelievable things recently.

However, today is the most shocking.

I ended up hearing...

that my daughter will die in five years.

After hearing what you said,

I think I thought politics was all about compromise.

Keep my friends close, but my political enemies closer.

I put my faith in this phrase and practiced politics until now.

I never thought...

my daughter's death would be at the end of it.

What do you plan to do?

My daughter...

My dear Jung In...

I should protect her.

Even if I have to destroy myself.

Gosh. Where am I?

To stop bullying at school,

and they decided to develop educational programs for the agenda.

This is Kim Hak Yeon by DBS.

President Seo Ki Tae will hold a press conference soon.

The national convergence network business...

which was launched in 2018...

showed an excellent result.

And the ongoing convergence network project with 5G...

will be implemented in real businesses as well.

Once the network is successfully set up,

with the use of the 5G network,

we can freely go back and forth...

between the internal and external administration networks.

As the administration will be more convenient,

we can efficiently handle our administration matters.

And I'm sure we will see great effects of the system.

I don't understand this situation at all.

What situation?

What happened to Times, and what happened to you?

What kind of incredible change happened to create this situation?

Why are you pretending not to know?

That won't change what's happened.

- So what... - I know.

I know I shouldn't have done that, back then.

But Jin Woo,

after sending you off alone,

I tried my best to go it alone.

You need to understand that.

- So what... - And,

I have no idea what's going on.

How could we not be sorry,

when you're the only one who ended up like that.

Please tell me what's happened over the past five years.

What? What's wrong?

Did something happen to you in there?

Let's say something did happen. Just start explaining.

Everything that happened from November 2, 2015, till yesterday.

Explain everything that's happened.

In 2015, you decided to quit politics...

and returned to Times.

For about two years, everything was peaceful.

Hello, we're a pioneering media company trying to change the world.

That was already finalized with the head of admissions.

- Min Ji, this is English. - I'll take it.

It's French! Bonjour?

Looking back, those were such happy times.

We had junior colleagues too.

That's why Young Jae always talks about those days too,

saying he misses them.

Anyway, the problem started...

in 2017, after getting that phone call.

- Hyun Soo, are you ready? - Yes, I'm ready.

- Let's go. - All right.

- Jin Woo, I'll be back. - Where are you going?

- Incheon, to Daejin Port. - Don't skip meals!

- Ask him to buy you a meal. - We'll be back.

Must be nice.

Aren't you going to pick up?

What? Do it yourself.

Geez.

Hello, this is Times.

There's corruption in the country's telecommunications industry.

That process was...

This is information on JC Telecom's government contracts...

nationwide after 2017.

After CEO Park Chan Yong got out of prison,

JC Telecom earned more than five nationwide contracts,

all of which are long-term.

I found out that they were trying to promote JC Telecom...

by cheating their way through the game.

I dug into it,

and I found out it was true.

But that wasn't the only thing strange about the case.

Even fitness center contracts.

I got a bad feeling about it.

Thinking about it now,

We should've quit.

Then that wouldn't have happened.

- He's here. - He's arriving.

- He's here. - He's here.

IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIONS AND JOURNALISTIC EXPLORATIONS OF 2018

Jin Woo, where did you get this information?

What was your goal in covering this scandal?

- Now, now. - Please answer us.

After reporting on the corruption scandal in telecommunications,

everything became falsified.

Witnesses who agreed to testify suddenly changed their statements.

All of the evidence disappeared.

That's how we became known...

as a trash rag creating fake news.

So is it because of that incident...

that you guys are living like this?

- Because of that, you two... - We're not the problem.

You suffered the most.

You even went to prison because of that.

Why are you worrying about us?

I went where?

Did you hurt your head?

- Why do you keep... - Say that again.

I went where?

Jin Woo, at that time,

you were arrested and charged with spreading false information.

You took the blame for all of us.

You really don't remember?

- I forgot. - How could you forget that?

Who do you think made us this way?

Who?

Seo Ki Tae.

You said so, back then.

What's wrong?

You should've been better at judging the situation.

If you'd taken my words to heart,

the situation wouldn't have gotten this extreme.

Don't you think so?

Hello.

Please get in

It seems you've been through a lot after seeing your face.

Have you reflected on yourself?

I hope you've realized something.

Did you really do that?

Yes.

I'm the one who sent you to prison,

and I'm the one who got you out.

Why?

If I didn't stop you,

you almost caused damages to this country.

Times tried to ruin...

an important business opportunity with a small flaw.

Mr. President.

Are you still the same person that I knew?

It doesn't seem like...

you're the same Lee Jin Woo I knew either.

In 2015, you came to me...

and said this.

You said you received a call from yourself, five years in the future.

You said the Lee Jin Woo from 2020...

told you about Geun Woo...

and about Jung In.

Isn't that Lee Jin Woo...

you right now?

Don't try too hard to find out...

what happened since then.

You never went through it anyway. Don't you agree?

I have no personal feelings against you.

Rather, I'm grateful.

The reason I'm here today...

is all because of you too.

Before, I thought that politics was all about...

compromise and tolerance.

I thought I should convince and wait for those who were against me...

to go further with them,

but you were the one to tell me...

that if I live like that Jung In will die.

That's when I realized...

I have to get rid of those who need to be removed,

and overtake those that I need to overtake.

Pushing forward with my beliefs...

and winning is what politics is about.

In order to do that,

there are times when I need to remove people like you temporarily.

That's why I pardoned you yesterday.

Because I was waiting for you.

If I gave you another chance,

today, November 2, 2020,

I thought you might give me a different answer.

What opportunity are you talking about?

I made a suggestion to you in 2018.

Of course, if Geun Woo had been alive,

I would've made this offer to him instead.

Soon...

Park Chan Yong will end up taking over...

this situation that I invested so much in creating.

After that...

I'm telling you that I'll compensate you...

for everything you went through if you join hands with me.

Of course,

you have to get rid of Times and everyone useless around you.

To be honest with you,

I had no idea things would end up like this.

This wasn't the 2020 I had wanted.

So what do you want from me?

Reveal the truth in 2015.

You have to undo the wrong decisions we made in the past...

to change the present.

Back then,

I thought I could turn everything back.

I don't know...

what I should do now?

If it doesn't look like what you wanted,

you should start making things into what you want now.

When I bowed my head in front of people out of guilt,

everyone probably thought I would step down from my position.

But I'm still here.

All matters of this world...

depend on what you decide,

and in the end, it depends on who you are with.

I understand what you mean.

Give me some time to think about it.

I won't wait long.

I'll give you a call.

Yes, sir.

I'll get going now.

I see. I was foolish.

I want to put the past behind me and only focus on my future.

Yes.

Tell me if there's anything you need.

Well,

I wonder if this is possible.

As I'm an ex-convict,

I need to recover my social standing first.

If you can't help me with that, I'll give up.

What is it? Tell me.

Here's the next news.

President Seo Ki Tae who is reaching the end of his term...

will appear on a TV show to hold a discussion about the direction...

and the current status of the administration.

The spokesperson of the Blue House, Choi Jin Hyuk...

A special discussion,

"Straight From the President",

will be held at the Blue House.

Lee Jin Woo of Times will be leading...

this 1-on-1 discussion live on TV.

His administration's philosophy as well as social and economic...

The questions from the public...

Who settled my tabs? I never settled them.

The guy you came with the other day paid everything on your tabs.

Before the TV broadcast, an honest discussion...

Why did you accept his money? Gosh.

Get out of my way. I'm busy.

The selected MC of President Seo Ki Tae's discussion...

is Reporter Lee Jin Woo. I'm sure his name is familiar to some of you.

The reporter had been...

in the limelight for saving the President...

twice in 2015.

Why him?

How does this make sense?

He served time in prison for not just any crime,

but for spreading false information.

Do you know anything?

This is my first time hearing it too.

It's been over a month since I saw my dad.

Even if you don't want to get mixed up politically with your dad,

you ought to tell him about this as you are his daughter.

"Why is it Lee Jin Woo?"

"What would people think?"

"You should reconsider."

"How about Kang Shin Wook?"

I was just worried.

A lot of people are talking about this.

That's something I must deal with.

Anyway, he is the reason why I'm here.

Even if he saved you,

Lee Jin Woo doesn't sound like a good candidate.

He seems a bit off in his head too.

He seems like an inadequate...

Well, I'm sure you have your reasons.

But I'm not completely on board with this.

He was a pretty good reporter before his career was ruined.

It seems like he repented a lot and regretted what he did...

when he was in prison. So I ought to give him a second chance.

If he only saved me, I wouldn't be this generous.

Did he save someone else too?

I'm just saying you don't have to worry.

Anyway, make some time for me next week.

At this rate, I might forget how you looked.

Okay, Dad. I'll call you again.

Come in if you're ready.

HEALTHY AND COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH EVERYONE'S HELP

Let's get ready.

You have five seconds.

5, 4, 3,

2, 1. Rolling.

Hello.

You're watching "2020 Straight from the President".

I'm your host, Lee Jin Woo of Times.

- Hello, Mr. President. - It's nice to see you.

Thanks to you, I was able to finish my campaign safely...

and come this far.

And it's quite meaningful to have you here...

as my term reaches its end.

I am also very pleased to talk to you in person.

Then, let us begin.

For the last five years, you have been focusing on...

Let see how good he is. I have my eyes on you.

- He looks great on camera. - They were quite effective.

We are the first country to commercialize the 5G network.

And now, we are pushing forward to commercialize...

autonomous vehicles.

So we are seen as the leading country in this industry.

I'm curious to find out...

what you consider to be your proudest achievement.

It's a bit embarrassing to point that out myself.

I don't want this to come across as bragging.

But I did try to keep my promises to the people the best I could.

And I deem my effort for that the proudest achievement I have.

You are talking about having the highest rate...

of fulfilling your campaign pledges. Am I correct?

That's right.

Investing in the three aforementioned industries...

and achieving good results was one of my pledges.

As you showed your promises with the results,

you have the highest approval ratings of over 70 percent...

compared to the previous presidents.

You are the first president who is not labeled as a lame duck.

With this solid support from the people,

I have no doubt that you will successfully finish your term.

Here's my last question.

Before that, could I ask a question...

that wasn't on the question list?

Of course.

That is the beauty of a live broadcast, isn't it?

When you were a reporter,

you fought for the freedom of speech.

And you suffered a great deal because of that.

That is why a lot of reporters consider you...

as their greatest senior reporter and role model to this day.

As their senior reporter,

is there any advice for the reporters?

Please say a few words.

I'm sure some people already know that my daughter is also a reporter.

I say this to my daughter when she goes out to investigate a story.

"We must right what is wrong."

"Turning a blind eye to it won't make it go away."

"Rather than ignoring it, we must face it..."

"and go head-on."

"That's the only way the world will change."

If you cover stories with this kind of faith...

and sense of responsibility,

I believe you can become a good reporter.

"A reporter must not ignore the corruptions in the world."

Is that what you mean?

Yes. That's the role of the press.

Then why did you...

do that?

Why did you...

send me to prison?

TIMES

I will not turn a blind eye to select media outlets...

that habitually release malicious reports.

Make them give up their votes.

They won't be able to accuse us of criticizing without any basis.

We have no choice but to break the speakers.

They've never pressured the media...

What are you doing?

Your father, President Seo Ki Tae, made me do it.

Are you satisfied now?

I'm sure about this one thing.

I didn't know anything until now.

We must first tell people about this truth.

What?

That's why you never should've crossed the line.
