Go, Hye Ran.

Just go.

Myung Woo.

You have nothing to do with this.

Get going now.

- Myung Woo. - I said get out of here!

Forget everything that happened today.

Don't tell anyone about it.

You weren't here today, okay?

Please, Hye Ran.

Hurry up and go. Get going.

Hye Ran.

Hye Ran?

Hye Ran.

Hye Ran.

Were you dreaming?

Yes, I must have been.

A bad dream?

A bit.

Why? What's going on?

I just heard from my office manager.

The Kevin Lee case was passed on to the prosecutors.

What are you planning to do?

I heard you asked the chief prosecutor to be assigned to the Kevin Lee case.

There were some suspicious circumstances.

You can't indict with circumstantial evidence.

I'm sure I can find more with an official investigation.

Of course, this all depends on whether or not I get the case.

Why are you so interested in this case?

Kang Tae Wook is on this case.

I want to show you how skilled I am through this case.

I see.

Since things worked out this way...

you will be investigated again by the prosecution.

It will be quite a hassle.

No.

It's not a hassle at all.

In fact, I want to thank you.

You didn't give up on my husband's case.

I'll bring you some tea. Please wait one moment.

That's odd.

She said she wanted the case closed because she didn't like the attention.

Why did she suddenly change her mind?

I don't know.

What could the reason be?

It's okay.

It'll work out.

It's been that way so far.

I'll be fine in the future.

But, Hye Ran...

which will hurt you more?

Being charged with murder?

Or...

your past?

[Episode 8: Convict]

Senior.

I think I got a good story this time.

Kanghae Construction.

We went to where the building collapsed and it was totally flattened.

It is pretty much gone.

Funny thing is that the accident hasn't been handled

but Kanghae Construction and Hwanil have started bidding again.

Where?

A distribution complex being built in the new city.

Wasn't Future Construction supposed to build that?

Future Construction suddenly went into bankruptcy.

So, they took new bids.

They conditions were hard to meet, so companies gave up on bidding.

Once Kanghae entered the bidding, the conditions became flexible.

Kanghae was the only bidder, as well.

Of course, they got a free pass and Hwanil succeeded in being the supplier.

It's exactly what you expected.

Did you find out who changed the conditions of the bid?

- No, not yet... - Then we can't do this story.

- What? - What?

We haven't confirmed the facts.

Next item.

- Director... - Director Jang is right.

We can't air it without the facts.

Whenever this happens, both the CEO of Hwanil Steele and Kanghae

had a golf game with high-ranking government officials.

What do you think of this absurd coincidence?

Do you have evidence?

I have an audio interview from someone who was there.

How can we believe that person?

Some people use the station to further their own agendas.

It wasn't just one person. I interviewed three people.

The three are not connected to each other in any way.

They don't mind if we air it?

I got their permission.

They agreed to it as long as we mask their voices to protect them.

What do you think, Director?

What about evidence to support what they say?

Well...

I have it.

- I have it. - You don't have it, do you?

You don't have it.

Then we can't do this story.

Find a different story and do it.

News is...

- facts. - facts.

They met up to play golf even when the gym collapsed.

An employee at the golf course cafeteria took a selfie and I saw them.

Everyone who was there is in the picture.

You're positive?

Can you bring me that picture?

You're going to expose their faces?

We can't do this story unless we're ready to destroy them.

Do you know how many times we tried to do a feature on Kanghae and Hwanil?

We ended up having to kill the story every time.

And if I bring that picture?

Then can we air it?

I'll leave the in-depth news slot empty.

I think eight minutes is enough.

Do it in six minutes and write the script too.

All right.

Your wife sure is something.

CBC's Jung Hyun Sung is not a person to mess with either.

But, he backed off without making a sound.

Is that right?

We can be honest with each other since we were prosecutors.

Go Hye Ran is crazy and does everything her way.

In 10 years, she'll either have caused big trouble, or become someone important.

It will be one of the two.

Crazy, who does everything her way.

She will do whatever it takes to keep her position.

She won't make compromises or be a person who can't speak up.

About the Kevin Lee case, what do you think will happen?

And wife...

will it hurt us to go with her?

Byun Woo Hyun has set his mind to go after this.

So... will it be difficult?

As long as nothing happens...

Tae Wook, things will work out the way you want.

I've already started talks to make that happen.

Will it be okay to go with her?

My wife...

will be represented by Kang Yool Law Firm.

Kang Yool?

Then, there's nothing more to consider.

Okay.

I want to welcome you...

back to Kang Yool.

What?

You're closing this office?

Why, so suddenly?

I'll be starting at Kang Yool next month.

What?

Oh, really? Is that for certain?

Yes, it worked out that way.

Ah, I see.

I would like you to come with me.

Ah, me too?

Can I really go with you?

Well, if it's all right with you.

- Oh my. - Thank you.

Thank you!

Lawyer Kang, I knew that something like this would happen for you one day.

- Thank you. - Yes.

Just one moment.

Hello.

Honey, it's me.

I'll be working at Kang Yool now.

No, I don't have a cold. Why would you say that?

Kang Yool Law Firm. Yes.

Okay, wait. I have to go now.

Uh, Lawyer Kang.

You need to go to Hwanil Steele. You have an appointment at 3:00 p.m.

Let's tie up our loose ends before we go to Kang Yool.

- Okay. - Yes.

Do you think I should start looking into a new house?

Oh.

You didn't have to come today.

I can't stay home all day.

I'll grab an elevator for us.

I don't think this will be easy.

I'll call you once we're done. You should wait at home.

I'll go with you.

- Lawyer Kang. - Okay.

Let's go.

You know how there's a lawsuit for Kevin Lee's breach of contract?

I heard Go Hye Ran's husband is the lawyer for that.

Isn't that so crazy?

So, this time it's Kevin Lee's wife and Go Hye Ran's husband.

They must be in that kind of relationship.

Seo Eun Joo is the one who is truly crazy.

Would you want to hire the husband of the woman who cheated with your husband?

- Yeah. - I just can't understand it.

Yeah, I don't understand why Go Hye Ran's husband would agreed to it either.

That too.

By the way, who seduced whom?

Go Hye Ran or Kevin Lee?

Go Hye Ran's not crazy. Of course, it was Kevin Lee.

One more vote for Kevin Lee.

Suppose I'm Kevin Lee.

I'm rich and successful and I meet Go Hye Ran.

There's no reason why I wouldn't pursue her.

Gosh, I feel bad for Go Hye Ran.

She was really good all those years.

Her image was ruined all at once.

I really liked Go Hye Ran. I feel a bit bad for her.

- Let's go. - I feel sorry for her.

Wait.

I would go for her too.

Go ahead.

Hey.

Hold on there.

Did you people see it?

Do you have proof that Kevin Lee cheated with Go Hye Ran?

Who are you?

I'm Seo Eun Joo, Kevin Lee's wife.

Seo Eun Joo, why don't we go?

What proof do you have to talk about it like it's true?

Did you people see it or hear it?

You say my husband cheated with Go Hye Ran.

But, did any of you see it or hear it yourselves?

It's just that it's all over the internet...

So, do you have any proof?

Seo Eun Joo.

There's no truth to it and you have no proof.

You will eventually stop later on.

Do you realize how difficult it is because of these rumors?

Have you even once thought about that?

What if it were about you or your spouses?

Could you still talk about it with such amusement?

Sorry, we were only talking...

My husband is dead.

I'm pregnant with a child who won't know it's father's face.

You people had fun writing such things on the internet. The internet is forever.

To an unborn baby, they will be there forever...

as a stigma.

Do you even know what a terrifying thing that is?

Have you ever even thought about that?

Eun Joo.

Ha Myung Woo?

Do you know where he is living now?

Is it possible to find out?

He served his time and was released, so we don't have that information.

We don't know where he went either.

Yes, I see.

I understand.

Yes, Reporter Yoon.

Congratulations.

I heard from a good source just now.

It seems you were nominated for that job.

Blue House press secretary, I mean.

That can't be.

Prosecutors took over the Kevin Lee case this morning.

I don't know.

When I heard that, I thought you had lost the job for good.

According to my sources, you're nearly confirmed for it.

I don't know who it was or what kind of magic it was.

Anyway, that's how it is.

- It's hot. - Thank you.

Are you feeling better?

I'm sorry.

I should've let it go.

I didn't realize what I was doing.

I understand what you were feeling.

I can relate.

No, you probably can't relate.

Honestly...

I hate my husband so much right now.

Why did he have to die like that?

Why did it have to be Hye Ran...

Tae Wook, are you okay with it?

Don't you hate Hye Ran whenever you hear those things?

I haven't been that great of a husband either.

I brought her a lot of hardships.

I left her alone a great deal, as well.

If what people say is true...

it is probably my fault.

I would think it happened because I was lacking.

But, if that isn't true...

it is still my fault.

Having people say those things...

I wasn't able to stop them.

I owe her an apology for many things.

The thing I'm most sorry about...

I wondered if what everyone was saying was true.

I was shaken for a time.

That's what I'm most sorry about.

What will you do if it is true?

What?

My husband and Hye Ran...

what if they did have a relationship?

What if evidence of it exists somewhere?

Then would you still be so calm, Tae Wook?

Would you?

Hye Ran told me it's not true.

And I...

will believe Hye Ran until the end.

I see.

I understand.

I'd better get going now.

- I'll call you a taxi. - No.

I can go on my own.

Tae Wook, do you know...

Hye Ran has a horrible past that she can't tell anyone about.

- I do know, somewhat. - No.

You wouldn't know.

There's no way you would know about it.

Taxi.

The official announcement will be in one month.

Do you know that the Kevin Lee case has been taken on by the prosecution?

I heard Kang Yool is covering it.

It isn't because you believe me.

It's because you trust Kang Yool.

How long will you be doing News Nine?

Starting your position as soon as you quit News Nine

may not look good in many ways.

Please finish up at News Nine this week.

You should prepare everything before the official announcement.

May I ask you one thing?

I am involved in this controversy right now.

Despite all of that

you nominated me for press secretary and I would like to know why.

Despite the controversy

the polls showed that people still trust Go Hye Ran.

Rather than gossip, they trust your words.

That is what the higher-ups believe.

There isn't anyone quite as capable as you either.

Honestly, I am still doubtful about you, Anchor Go Hye Ran.

The person who made the decision likely feels the same way.

The only thing that can lift that doubt...

will only be your sincerity.

Your innocence, as well as your value to us

I think that's the way to prove it.

As for News Nine...

I will end things within the week.

I will end things well, so that there's no unnecessary talk.

Goodbye, then.

Congratulations.

It doesn't feel real.

Can I really...

be congratulated?

You worked harder than anyone.

You ran harder than anyone.

Of course, you should be congratulated.

It was the audition for the 9:00 p.m. news.

You know very well how long I waited for that.

As for this...

I'll accept it as a gift for becoming an anchor.

As a form of congratulations.

I can get pregnant again, but the audition happens only once.

Back then...

I shouldn't have waited for you.

It's no different than having had a baby.

Take good care of your body.

Thank you.

Honestly...

I think I wanted to hear those words from you more than anyone.

You congratulating me.

Congratulations, sincerely.

What will you do if it is true?

My husband and Hye Ran...

what if they did have a relationship?

What if evidence of it exists somewhere?

It's ready. Here you go.

Yes. Thank you.

Hye Ran told me it's not true.

And I...

will believe Hye Ran until the end.

Really?

Will you say that even after seeing this, Kang Tae Wook?

[Seo Eun Joo]

Hello.

Detective Kang.

This is Seo Eun Joo.

Yes, I have something to tell you.

Honestly...

there is something I didn't tell you before.

[Seo Eun Joo]

Yes, I'll see you there at 7:00.

What should I say to you?

Should I congratulate you or curse at you?

Do whatever you'd like.

You could do both.

You crazy girl. You insist on going there?

I was informed of my nomination.

And News Nine...

I'll finish up this week.

I'll hand in my resignation next week.

Do you think there's some new world if you go there?

There are no sides over there.

The winner is the one who survives.

It's much more brutal there.

I'd like to recommend Han Ji Won to take over for me.

Think it over again.

I'll support her while I'm here and teach her more.

Hye Ran.

I've known you since you were a rookie reporter and I've been watching you.

I made you into Anchor Go Hye Ran.

So, I know you very well.

You belong here.

The place that suits you best is here.

Hm?

If you care so much about me...

why were you so eager to kick me out of News Nine?

Eager? No.

There's a lot you can do here besides News Nine.

Like what?

Get pushed back and lecture my juniors a bit?

Then get pushed out of the picture more and more?

Take over the morning or evening news and get paid regularly?

Stand there and be forgotten?

I can't live like that.

You know that very well.

I know you're going to regret it.

It's better than never trying and regretting that.

I've always been that way.

Director. Oh, you're here too?

Han Ji Won insists on the Kanghae story. What do I do?

I don't know why she's being so stubborn.

I told her to do it.

- You? - Put a stop on it.

- Director. - You can't take responsibility for that.

You're going to do the story and then leave?

If you have any feelings of responsibility to News Nine

don't cause trouble before you leave. Just go quietly.

Leave? Who?

You? Where are you going?

If Han Ji Won brings evidence, I will do the story.

Then stay and deal with it!

Give up on the Blue House!

Do you have family who works at Kanghae or Hwanil Steele?

Or do you have some sort of connection there?

Why do you get so sensitive whenever they come up?

What about you?

Why are you dying to get at Hwanil Steele?

Last time, it was Kam's case, and now this.

It's not because it's Hwanil Steele.

They just happen to be involved whenever there's trouble.

Is that my fault?

You said you want to move up!

If you want to move up in the world, don't cause problems over nothing.

Take care of yourself and eat up everything you can.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I will look at what Han Ji Won has before I decide if it goes on the news or not.

It will be my decision.

Director.

Is Go Hye Ran going to the Blue House?

It seems pretty much confirmed.

It seems odd from the Blue House.

I guess they don't mind.

Is it true? It's for real?

She's really... going to the Blue House?

Yeah, it seems that way.

Go Hye Ran told the director.

Director Jang seems to be in a panic over it.

Go Hye Ran is really something.

Wow, the Blue House! I didn't think she'd get that high.

Are you sure it's confirmed?

It seems that way.

Is Kang Yool that powerful of a law firm, Honey?

She's not just a witness anymore.

She's a suspect and it's in the hands of the prosecution.

Nominated as Blue House press secretary?

How does this make sense?

Kang Tae Wook, you sure have great connections.

[DramaFever Ver] jTBC E08 Misty "Convict" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Where are you right now?

Tell me. Where are you?

That bastard.

Lee Jae Young, that bastard.

Who?

She said she was Seo Eun Joo. She's waiting in the meeting room.

Eun Joo, what brings you by? I wasn't expecting you.

Should I get you a drink? Hold on.

Your husband...

is a really good person.

Enough to make me feel shameful.

Did you know that your husband was a good person?

Your husband...

is a really good person.

Enough to make me feel shameful.

Did you know that your husband was a good person?

What do you mean...

I wouldn't even look at a guy like Lee Jae Young with a husband like that.

Were you that happy to see him after 10 years?

Were you two so happy that you made fools out of me and your husband?

What...

did you just say?

The black box chip.

I have it, Hye Ran.

That night, you were in the car with my husband.

I heard what you said.

I saw what you did.

I saw everything.

I didn't just lose my husband because of you.

I lost the 10 years I devoted to him.

All the time I sacrificed for him, all of it.

It all became nothing, do you know that?

What about you though?

You have everything.

You still have that great husband by your side.

You've even become a murder suspect, yet...

you're still the News Nine anchor.

Isn't this...

Isn't this just so unfair?

So?

What is it that you want to do?

What should I do?

- Is that a threat? - I'm telling you to choose.

What should I do?

If I give that chip to your husband...

you will lose your husband.

If I get rid of the chip...

you will remain a murder suspect.

What should I do?

Should I expose the black box? Do you want to be a cheater?

Do you want me to hide it, and you can be a murder suspect?

Which would bring you more misery and pain?

Both...

will make me suffer.

Even if I get on my knees and apologize to you...

you won't feel better.

It'll probably look despicable.

You think I'll stoop to any low in order to live, right?

Probably.

So...

I can't really make a choice.

You'll do what you want to, in the end.

Right?

So?

You won't apologize to me, is that it?

If I did anything wrong...

it's that I didn't kill Lee Jae Young myself that night.

If there's something I regret...

it's that I didn't kill Lee Jae Young myself that night.

I wanted to live.

I wanted to stay alive.

I said things to Lee Jae Young that I didn't mean in order to appease him.

The memory of that...

is so shameful and it comes back to hurt me constantly.

If I get on my knees for you

until the day I die...

I'll want to die from shame of that moment.

So, you're saying you just don't want to apologize to me.

Isn't that it?

If I have to apologize to you...

now is not the time.

Later.

Once this mess has settled down

when that time comes and you still feel like I did something wrong...

I will apologize to you then.

You still want to save face and be classy in this situation?

Save face?

It's not like that, Eun Joo.

It's merely...

my humble pride...

that I'm trying my best to protect.

Senior.

Where did Senior Go Hye Ran go?

Is she in the makeup room?

Ah, a guest came to visit, so she went to the meeting room.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Han Ji Won.

What is that?

It's nothing.

- Give it to me. - Director.

Han Ji Won.

It's good enough, right?

Give it to Reporter Kwak.

Yes, I'll do that.

What are you doing?

What?

If you're planning to do it without my permission...

And if I am?

What are you going to do?

Just go quietly.

If you truly want the Blue House press secretary job

don't bother with Hwanil Steele, just go.

Are you worried about me or is that your advice?

It's both, so listen.

Do you know why I want to go higher?

It's because of these things.

I don't want truth that needs to get out to be cut.

I don't want to lose to people who get in my way. That's why.

I know.

I'm mean, vicious, and selfish.

To attain my goals, I'll do anything I have to.

I will sell my soul if I need to, but...

my news was always real.

I never compromised in the face of money or power.

I was always resolute in front of those who told me to cover and conceal.

I have protected News Nine like that.

I know.

I can't bend that rule in my last moments.

Then everything I've done would become a lie.

Even my justification for dragging Jung Hyun Sung from that job...

it would become a joke.

Isn't that right?

If things go wrong...

you could get hurt before you even get there.

It still doesn't matter?

If I lose here...

I can't win when I get there.

Just like you said, Senior, this could be my last time on the news.

Don't get in my way, Senior.

I was surprised to hear from you.

- Seo Eun Joo. - That night...

my husband got a call.

He left after he got the call.

Then he got in that accident.

Do you know who called?

A woman.

I think it must've been Go Hye Ran.

How did it go?

Did you handle things with Go Hye Ran and tonight's news?

Director Jang?

Yes, as far as I know, it's been handled.

Then we don't need to worry?

I don't think you need to worry.

Good work, Director Jang.

It's been taken care of.

I don't think Go Hye Ran will cause a problem

right before taking such a big step forward in her career.

This is Kang Ki Joon.

I just heard from a witness.

This person believes the last person Kevin Lee spoke to before the accident

was Go Hye Ran.

Who is the witness?

Seo Eun Joo, Kevin Lee's wife.

She made a formal request for me to properly investigate the murder.

For now, can you get me a warrant?

[Chief Prosecutor: Jang Joo Won]

Five minutes to go. Stand by, everyone.

Wow! Go Hye Ran seems to be glowing today.

She's not even deputy press secretary.

She going in as press secretary.

The Blue House must recognize her talent.

Right, Team Leader Woong?

I don't know. I'm not the Blue House.

Why are you asking me?

We're all on the same team. You should be happy for her.

Why have you been grouchy all day?

We're running commercials.

Camera two, stand by.

Right now, in this moment, there is only one choice I can make.

I have to go ahead with my news.

Hello to our viewers.

News on its feet, fast news.

Go Hye Ran's News Nine is starting now.

An in-depth story from News Nine.

The gym collapse that occurred on the fifth.

Also, we want to look into the collapse of the apartment from last October.

Reporter Han Ji Won, you looked into this?

Yes. This happened last year and again this year.

The buildings collapsed due to what appears to be faulty construction.

Both buildings were built

by the nation's prominent supplier and construction company.

So, are you saying the construction company and supplier are the same?

Yes, that's correct.

Furthermore, the construction company, Kanghae

took part in the bid for a distribution complex in a new city development.

They were the only company to bid.

The cause of the collapse has yet to be determined.

They are already bidding on new construction developments.

If they were the only ones to bid

the chance that they will get the contract is very high.

Yes, that's correct.

Also, the supplier will be the same company as before.

Are you referring to Hwanil Steele?

Yes, I am.

Hello, this is Kang In Han. What can I do for you?

Ah, yes.

Turn on JBC news.

Yes.

Recently, Hwanil Steele

received attention for withholding payment from foreign laborers.

Yes, I am watching now.

They are under suspicion for lobbying using slush funds.

[Kang Yool CEO]

[Kang Yool CEO]

I heard you found out something new during this investigation.

What was that?

Yes, I happened to acquire a picture.

- Let's take a look. - Two, one... start.

The picture looks like a normal gathering of golfers.

How is it connected to this story?

All three people in this picture were together coincidentally

on days when buildings built by Kanghae Construction collapsed

or when new bids were being tendered, or when there were issues.

That's when they met for golf.

Using only that as motive seems inconclusive.

Please tell me who these three people are.

Yes.

On the left is the CEO of Hwanil Steele

then the CEO of Kanghae Construction.

The person on the end is Congressman Jung Dae Han.

He was on the supreme court.

He also served as a senior secretary in the Blue House.

I cannot confirm it yet

but the days the buildings collapsed

coincide with the days these three met up to play golf.

I believe it is questionable to say it is mere coincidence.

Especially, Congressman Jung Dae Han.

Before he entered politics, when he was still a judge

he was the judge famous for dismissing the case against Hwanil Steele

when they were suspected of lobbying using slush funds.

How are Hwanil Steele and Kanghae Construction connected?

I am very curious to find out.

As for the bidding process of the new distribution complex

I would like to know more about that.

If possible, please follow up with a story tomorrow.

Yes, I will.

Thank you, Reporter Han Ji Won.

Time for the weather.

Yes, it's me.

Do you mean that?

Yes, I understand.

Chief Prosecutor, I will work hard.

Detective Kang Ki Joon, this is Byun Woo Hyun.

I've finally been assigned to Kevin Lee's case.

To our viewers, thank you for watching.

That will be all for Go Hye Ran's News Nine.

Good job, everyone.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Good job.

- Good job. - Bye.

You did well.

You did a good job today, Go Hye Ran.

This is enough.

Come on!

Come on!

Congratulations!

You did great.

You were great today.

- Good job. - Senior, thank you.

Good job.

Can't you stay, Senior?

No, no. She has to go. She has to.

Hey, I bough this. It's really expensive.

When I buy you something expensive, it means "Don't come back."

"Our fate ends now." Something like that.

We're saying goodbye forever now, okay?

I think you have to go in order for me to sleep comfortably and get fat.

Farewell!

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

But, I'm not done yet.

I'll continue News Nine for the week.

I'll continue to feature Hwanil Steele throughout the week, Han Ji Won.

All right.

Nonetheless, congratulations.

Nonetheless, thank you.

- Director! - Director.

Come on.

Get over here.

What's so great about a traitor that you got her champagne?

That woman.

Thank you.

Anyway, to our newsroom's future without Go Hye Ran!

Everyone, cheers!

Cheers!

Go Hye Ran.

- What? - What's going on?

- What? - Who are they?

I'm Detective Kang Ki Joon from Violent Crimes.

What do you need?

I'm arresting you as a suspect in the murder of Kevin Lee, Go Hye Ran.

Go Hye Ran, you have the right to remain silent.

Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

Kevin Lee was murdered.

I believe Go Hye Ran is the prime suspect.

Now, bring me the evidence.

We have a warrant for the suspect, Go Hye Ran.

Suppression of the media is happening right in front of my eyes!

It's totally screwed up.

What do I need to do?

We only need to show the facts and the viewers can judge.

Don't air anything that is not a fact.

If you did something wrong, you should be punished.

All they have right now is an empty can.

They're just holding me here.

If you say it didn't happen, do you think it will go away?

That night, that bastard and that woman...

I love Hye Ran.

That woman...

I love her!
