All language subtitles for Pinocchio E14

You know the saying.

"It's a luxury item
because it's expensive."

It needs to be expensive
for people to want it.

That's enough.

But when it's still for kids,

Is a luxury item
marketing strategy needed?

I said that's enough!

What do you want to hear?

That my mother bleeds parents dry?

That she's just a businesswoman
who is obsessed with money?

What do you want to say?

I want to find the truth.

According to what we've heard,
what you said is true.

What? Don't talk about my mother that way.

Stop that! We're in the middle
of an investigation!

What are you two doing?

What do you think you're doing?

What's going on?

-Stop it!
-What's wrong?

You'll end up on the news yourselves
at this rate.

Gosh.

If you're mad at me, take it out on me.

Don't make my mother out to be a witch!

Put your emotions aside
and think like a reporter.

Don't you see your mother's antics?

Stop it. You're crossing the line.

-What?
-You didn't even hear her side.

It's too soon to judge her
and say she's materialistic.

You...

Ms. Park, your son is here.

Beom-jo?

Thanks...

for taking my side.

I didn't take your side.
Don't get the wrong idea.

Beom-jo?

What brings you here?

Who are they?

Mother...

The poor man.

So, what happened to that Santa?

He's being held
and will likely be prosecuted.

Oh, no.

I'm so upset that something
like that happened because of our bag.

What should I do?

I caused trouble, didn't I?

What should I do?

Do I need to make a public apology?

No, you don't need to do that.

You shouldn't have to apologize.

I'm sorry, but please
let us do a story on this.

If you'd let us film in the shop
and interview workers.

Hey.

It's okay. Of course we can let them.

Let me know if there is
anything else you need.

Mother, people may boycott
the store once the story is reported.

If that's the customers' wishes,
I'll have to oblige.

Ms. Ko, help them with anything they need.

Mother, but--

Let her know if you need any documents.

-Yes. Thank you.
-Yes. Thank you.

Ms. Park, you're super cool.

Thank you.

Mother, I'm sorry.

It's okay, Beom-jo. Don't worry.

I don't remember.

I think this is my mom's earring.
Why is this here?

I heard you left your phone there.

Maybe I did.

BEOMJO DEPARTMENT STORE

Ha-myeong.

What did you do on Christmas Eve?
You weren't answering your phone.

I was a little sick.

Really?

No wonder. So, that's why.

I knew it.

Are you better now?

What are you doing?

Just in case.

In case of what?

Do you still suspect Ms. Park?

From what I saw, she is totally
a female warrior type.

She's so cool.

I take back my comment that she was eerie.

I don't know.

What? What's nagging you?

RESTRICTED AREA

You can start when I give you the sign.

This is the bag.

Parents call this the One Plus Class.

It's completely handmade
out of alligator skin.

You open it like this.

It's a hundred thousand won cheaper
at nine hundred thousand won.

Your mom left her mobile phone
at my house years ago.

Did you go to her house 13 years ago?

I don't remember. Why?

It's okay.

Doesn't it look nice?

Isn't Ms. Park amazing?

Being on the news would probably hurt
the business and the reputation,

but she says it's okay.

She has a big heart, doesn't she?

Yes, I guess.

What's up with you?
Why are you getting hiccups?

You don't think she is big-hearted?

I guess not.

Do you suspect Ms. Park
like Ha-myeong does?

Yes, I guess so.

Yu-rae.

-Let's begin.
-Yes.

-In-ha, you too. Hurry.
-Yes.

A. E. I. O. U.

Among students...

Hey, are you going to report this
while wearing a school uniform?

Goodness.

Hurry, put this on.

Yes.

We don't know which report we'll use,
so let's do a bunch.

Yes.

There is a Le Co Song crisis
among students right now.

This bag costs over one million won.

Over 70% of students in a class use one.

The bags are graded
into classes according to the price.

The student with
the most expensive bag gets to brag.

This bag is wildly popular
among teenagers,

but it is a heavy burden to parents.

To be blunt, what did we do wrong?
We just sell them.

The customers are the problem.

Parents rated our bags into classes.

This is a Two Plus Class.
It's around one million won.

This is a One Plus Class.
It's around nine hundred thousand won.

You know the saying.

"It's a luxury item
because it's expensive."

It needs to be expensive
for people to want it.

Mother, I'm so sorry.

The news is making
the department store look bad.

There is a criticism
that the sentiment among adults

that you must wear
expensive items to be treated well

has spread to young students as well.

With MSC News, I am Choi In-ha.

It's okay, Beom-jo.

I see that I hadn't thought it through.

I'm reflecting on it.

THE CITY DESK

Is that from your mother?

Yes. She acts like she's fine
but I'm sure she's upset.

You're making me feel bad.

I told you, I'm going to keep
making you feel bad.

I'm very upset right now.

Ms. Song.

Is this yours?

Where did you find it?
I was looking for it.

-I have a question.
-What?

What is your relationship with Ms. Park?

I told you.

I saw her a few times in passing.

You don't keep in touch now?

Why do you keep asking me about that?

I found that earring

in Ms. Park's office today.

If you saw her 13 years ago,
and again today,

it's more than just someone
you saw in passing.

You saw me after 13 years too.

That's how close we are. Satisfied?

How did I look today during my report?
Did I look awkward?

No, you were good.

Really? I'm sure I was.

I must look good to you no matter what.

I can't take it.
I need to get some coffee.

Don't let anyone touch this.

Okay.

A cup of macchiato for me.

Shall I help?

What is this?

Ha-myeong was matching it up.

-What?
-He said it's very important.

He worked on it for three hours.

-Where did he go?
-He went to get some coffee.

Darn it.

I'm going to match these up,
so don't tell Dal-po...

I mean, Ha-myeong, okay?

Chan-su!

Let's match these with me.

Forget it. I'm not in the mood.

You can't do this to a friend.
This is urgent.

You can't do this to a friend.

It's my last day here
and you want me to do that?

Yes. I think it'll be
a meaningful final night here.

Sorry. Maybe not.

Seo-hak, where did my shredded papers go?

In-ha ran off with them.

What? Where to?

I don't know.

My eyes are going to pop out.

Hold on. Don't come closer.
This will fly away.

What are you doing?

Dal-po.

I mean it. I wasn't running away.
I wanted to match them for you.

I'm sorry about the thing earlier.

I was too harsh
without even hearing your side.

Yes.

Drink.

Thanks.

But why do you suspect Ms. Park?

I heard everyone said
they should let that Santa go,

but Ms. Park adamantly refused.

She acted like she was hearing it
for the first time.

-She did?
-Yes.

The shop manager

wasn't trying to stop us for real earlier.

She pretended to stop us,
but let us continue filming,

and it even felt like

she was intentionally letting us film.

Yes, and one more thing.

Beom-jo had been receiving my texts
that I sent to my mom.

Yes.

It was because my mom
left her phone at their house.

That was 13 years ago.

It was 13 years ago?

So, they knew each other 13 years ago?

Yes. And they're still meeting now.

I found an earring of my mom's
in the chairwoman's office today.

By the way, where did you get this?

The trash can by the chairwoman's office.

I don't think Ms. Park...

is the person we think she is.

Yes.

BEOMJO DEPARTMENT STORE

Why were you here?

To see what happened to the shop?

Yes.

So? Are you happy seeing it suffer?

It's packed. You can't even step inside.

What?

I think Ms. Park used the news
as a marketing ploy.

You jerk.

You've crossed the line.

How could you say that
after seeing her yesterday?

You think she's that calculating?

This came from the chairwoman's
shredder yesterday.

What is that?

Additional orders of that bag.

They sent this order immediately
after agreeing to the story.

What?

Your mother already knew
that once the news aired,

people wouldn't boycott it,
but rather make a mad rush for it.

That's absurd. Why would people--

Check for yourself.

That jerk. He's full of garbage.

-There is a discount.
-Let me check.

-Give me one of this.
-Was this bag on the news?

-Here!
-How much is this?

-Over here.
-Yes.

-Please wait a moment.
-Here!

-Excuse me.
-This one.

You have them in stock, right?

Don't worry. We've ordered more,
so everyone can get one.

Would you like the Two Plus Class?

Of course. We drove up
from Yeonju City just to buy this.

Is this the bag from the news?

Yes, this is the bag
that was on the news last night.

-Please wait.
-This one.

-Right.
-I know.

-Is it out of stock?
-How much is this?

-No!
-This can't happen.

-Can I change the color?
-This one.

-Can you tell me...
-What?

Mother.

Can we talk?

Beom-jo, what brings you
here at this hour?

Please excuse us.

What is it?

I just came from the bag shop.

Right.

I was shocked when I saw it.

I was worried
that I would have to close down that shop.

But the customers poured in
since early this morning.

I was shocked.

-Were you really shocked?
-Of course I was.

Then what is this?

You said you couldn't foresee this at all.

And yet you placed an order
before the news even aired?

-How did you--
-Please answer me.

Did you use our news report
as a marketing tactic?

I'm really at a loss.

It isn't what you're thinking.

But...

let's say I did use the news report
for marketing.

What did I do wrong?

Ms. Kim, why don't we just let him go?

We got the bag back
and his son is watching.

It's Christmas.

No, we can't do that.

Call the police.

That way, it will become a big deal
and the reporters will come.

You got a news story to report out of it,

and I got to sell merchandise.

People who wanted it
bought as much as they wanted.

No one was hurt, so what's the problem?

I'm asking
because I genuinely want to know.

So, you really did know

this would happen?

But if reporters investigate this,
they'll talk about its price and whatnot.

And people may talk. Calling the police...

I said to call the police,
so that people can talk.

That way,

people will come even if it's to see
just how expensive it is.

Why should we waste this good opportunity?
We need to take it.

Place another order.

Right.

Reporters will be here.
Place a reservation for makeup.

Customers are like that.

Rather than good, cheap items,

they want items that draw attention
for being expensive in itself.

Is knowing how they feel
and using that so bad?

Is that what you think?

I should...

get going.

You won't stay for dinner?

I shouldn't have made him a reporter.

You shouldn't drive right now.

I'll drive.

You were right.

My mother was just a businesswoman
obsessed with money, who used...

luxury marketing tactics.

If not for you,

I would never have known.

I'm sorry.

Is this how you felt?

When you found out that your brother
wasn't who you thought.

Is this how you felt?

Yes.

It must have been difficult.

Yes.

FULFILLING OUR DUTY AS THE POLICE

Thanks for today, but...

this is separate from the In-ha situation.

I'll buy dinner for today.
Let's call it even at that.

It's okay.

-Rather than that--
-What? What do you want?

I have a question.

You said Song Cha-ok left her phone
at your house 13 years ago?

-Yes.
-Do you remember the date?

Of course. It was when I got
the first text from In-ha.

-When was it?
-It was October 23, 2000.

Why?

My mother passed away on October 22, 2000.

What?

What happened 13 years ago?

I'll get going now Ms. Park.

Thank you for everything.

I'm the thankful one. Good work on this.

Thank you.

You know, right?
I never abandon my people.

And I've been through
divorce myself, so I know.

It's horrible.

I hope this promotion
will be a source of comfort.

SEO BEOM-JO

Whose phone is this?

KI HO-SANG'S FAMILY COMMITS SUICIDE

OCTOBER 23, 2000

HANGANG POLICE DIVISION

Hello. Don't ignore me
because I've been transferred.

We have plenty of cases here too,
so you have to visit often.

Okay, I'm coming.

You're checking the police division?

It's Chan-su's first week there.
I should go visit.

Does he have stories?

Maybe people not paying taxi fares
and domestic disturbances.

Then go without me.
I'll go to Gihwa Police Station.

Don't be like that. Go with me
and help me cheer up Chan-su.

Sure, if you want me to that badly.

Sure. Let's just say
I want you to that badly.

-Chan-su.
-Hey.

You're here too? Sit down.

I'll brief you with In-ha.

Okay.

You're so much more welcoming here.

Yes, you used to be so mean before.

I was not. You can't abandon me.

Even though I'm at a police division,
come and visit me frequently, okay?

That depends on the cases.
So, what do you have?

-A 50-year-old man
-A man in his 50s...

was attacked at a racetrack
so someone called it in.

So what happened?

It was a false report
so I let him off with a fine.

-Hey.
-Do you want to die?

I have another one. This one is for real.

There was a gas explosion
at a plant in Tongsa neighborhood.

A gas explosion? How big was the canister?

About 0.2 kg?

About 0.2 kg? That's 200 grams.

Do you mean the portable butane gas can?

Yes, It blew up
while he was cooking noodles.

Do you really want to die?

-Give us something real.
-I'm leaving.

Does the size
of the case matter that much?

Chan-su!

Stop leaving your phone at home!

-Ji-hui.
-Ji-hui.

Who's Ji-hui?

Nice to see you, In-ha!

Choi Dal-po!

I did see you on the television.
Wow, you did change a lot.

I've heard about you two
from my husband, Chan-su.

Your husband?

You married Ji-hui?

Yes.

-Why didn't you tell us?
-You never asked.

Who is he? Is he your nephew?

No, he's our son.

-Son?
-Son?

Wow.

That's so cool. The four of you
went to high school together?

Yes. It was Chungpo High School.

How do you have
a big son like this at your age?

It isn't hard. It's easy
if you conceive a child

as soon as you finish high school.

It was a shotgun marriage?

Yes, it was.

Anyway, I'm glad I saw you.

Ta-da.

It's our third child's
first birthday party this weekend.

Please come and celebrate with us.

-Third?
-You have another child?

Wow. You're so blessed.

I'm not blessed.

Alcohol is the problem.

The second is a girl.

How can you have a party for the third?
You have no shame.

She had no shame
since the day he was born.

Now, tell me about you two.

It looks like you guys are dating.

No, we're not.

I know. How absurd.

Hey, nothing gets by me.

I can tell from
how you look at each other.

You like each other, right?

-Well--
-We dated briefly and broke up.

-What?
-Really?

-Why?
-When? Where? For how long? Why?

Let's talk about something else.

Yes, tell us about you.
Do you have a picture of your daughter?

Are you going to the first birthday party?

Check your hood.

I don't know. I'll have to see.

What about the gift?
Clothes are expensive.

They are expensive.

Yes, it would be weirder
if a guy like him never had a girlfriend.

That would be boring.

And it was briefly. That isn't a problem.

In-ha, why are you alone?
Where did you leave Beom-jo?

He took the day off to move.

-Move?
-Yes, he moved out.

Moved out? Is he finally
hitting puberty or something?

He's so silly, right?

The bag incident must have hit him hard.

Yes. He probably feels terribly
betrayed by Ms. Park too.

Ms. Ko.

You should check the air filter here.
Put it on the checklist.

Put a recliner by the television.

Yes.

You said Song Cha-ok left her phone
at your house 13 years ago?

Do you remember the date?

It was October 23, 2000.

My mother passed away on October 22, 2000.

Mother, may I ask you something?

You're talking to me again?

I heard from Ki Ha-myeong

that you met with Ms. Song Cha-ok
on October 23, 2000, right?

I'm not sure. That was 13 years ago.
How could I remember?

Fine. If you won't tell me,
I'll look into it myself.

Stop that.

Don't be a reporter to me.

You should be a son.

I'll finish unpacking myself.

I don't need a filter or a recliner.

Are you okay, Ms. Park?

No.

He's starting to annoy me.

That Ki Ha-myeong.

He kept saying he feels bad
for Jae-myeong.

He feels bad for walking down the street.

Also, he feels bad for seeing people

and for looking at someone and smiling.

He kept drinking
and this is what happened.

Hey, Dal-pyeong.

People tend to speak
what's really in their hearts

when they get drunk, right?

That's right. That's why
they call it a truth serum.

Father.

Did I say something improper
to you last night?

Everything you say is improper.

Where are you going?

VISITATION REQUEST, KI JAE-MYEONG
RELATIONSHIP, FAMILY

REQUESTOR, CHOI GONG-PIL

Ha-myeong has told me a lot about you.

I've wanted to meet you and thank you.

Thank you for saving my brother, sir.

You are so alike that it's scary.

How are you brothers so distinguished?

That's a compliment, right?

Of course, it is a compliment.

You didn't know Dal-po
over the past 13 years.

So, I wanted to...

tell you about Dal-po from
when he was a just a small boy.

How does that sound?
May I come visit often?

Of course, I'd be grateful
if you'd tell me.

Really? In that case, first...

take a look at these.

These were taken half a year
after I saved Dal-po from the sea.

Is this Ha-myeong?

-Yes.
-Why is his hair...

That is...

a long story.

I was a little out of my mind, so...

I thought...

Dal-po was...

my son who had died 40 years earlier.

VISIT REGISTRATION

You can't visit Ki Jae-myeong today.

His visitation was used up today.

That can't be. I'm the only one
who would visit him.

Someone was just here.

Who could it be?

Was it Chan-su?

HANGANG POLICE DIVISION

Hey, you visited
Jae-myeong today, didn't you?

You should have told me.

I didn't go. I was really busy today.

Really? Who could it have been then?

Breaking news.

There was a big explosion
and fire at a plant

in Hangang District this evening.

Reporter Jang Hyeon-gyu reports.

The fire was in a waste-disposal plant
in Hangang District.

The call was made
to the fire department at 7:05 p.m.

Forty-two fire trucks are working
to put out the fire,

but the fire has been
difficult to control.

A waste-disposal plant...

MR. HWANG

This is Ki Ha-myeong at Hangang District.

Yes, I'm watching. I'll be right in.

-I need to go.
-Dal-po.

-What?
-That plant is...

the one I visited yesterday.

Where the butane gas can exploded.

What?

The fire is raging the fiercest
inside the plant by the storage room.

Firefighters are having difficulty...

About 70 people were working
when the fire broke out.

They say about 40 escaped,

but 30 have not been rescued yet.

The death toll is not yet known.

Of those who escaped,

many of them were critically injured,

With the missing people,
a high death toll is expected.

With MSC News, I'm Lee Il-ju.

-Are you there?
-Where are you now?

-Check the hospital.
-Right.

-She lives near there?
-Stop him.

-Yes!
-All right.

I got it.

How many are missing?
What about the Injured?

-That's the official statement?
-Not yet. Yes.

You should take the other route!

Yes.

Ms. Song, I'm heading there.

Ohgwang Hospital.

It's not Gogwang hospital.
Ohgwang Hospital has the most victims.

Send Il-ju there.

Sir, we have to hurry to Ohgwang Hospital.

RESTRICTED AREA

-Oh, my. This is chaos.
-Move!

-It's dangerous.
-Move it!

-The ambulance is here!
-Where are the men?

Move!

Is everything okay?

What happened? Please say something.

I am at the scene of the fire...

Please, a word! What is
the cause of the fire?

-A word, please!
-Move!

-Move back!
-What is the cause of the fire?

-A word, please!
-Step back.

-You can't go.
-Please tell us something.

-Everyone!
-Say your comments.

What is the cause of the fire?

-What's going on?
-Are there any survivors?

-Honey!
-Dad!

-Dad!
-One is missing.

Around 1:10 a.m.,

a fire broke out at a waste-disposal plant
in Gyeonggi province.

This is the scene of the fire

at the waste-disposal plant.
40 fire trucks are here...

The fire has been put out
but black smoke fills the air.

-What is the cause of the fire?
-Keep it down. Okay?

-What about the deceased?
-Please...

-The damage is...
-What?

Excuse me. Let us go through.

Hyeon-gyu, look into the cause
of the fire and death count.

Are the 16 deaths officially confirmed?

Yes, I've cross-checked
with the fire and police departments.

Find out why so many died and why the fire

wasn't extinguished right away. Yu-rae.

-Yes.
-Obtain security footage

and witness testimonies to paint a picture

of the situation
when the explosion occurred.

-Yes, Mr. Hwang.
-And Ha-myeong.

-Yes.
-Meet the plant manager

and find out what waste
was being disposed of

and find out if there were
any similar incidents

among past waste plant explosions.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER KI HA-MYEONG

Pretend I'm not here and carry on.

Mr. Kim is in charge of this meeting.

Yes.

Il-ju, reconstruct the fire scene
using the computer graphics.

Call experts and figure out
the cause of the accident.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

Beom-jo, report the police
and fire departments' announcements.

In-ha, look for similar incidents
in the past.

Isn't interviewing the victims' families
more important?

Find out if there are any sob stories,
like newly-weds and unfortunate household.

Find victims who are alert

and listen to what happened.

Ms. Song, that's a bit...

Will you think about what the viewers want
before handing out assignments?

Okay now, really pretend
I'm not here, and proceed.

But a person who isn't here keeps talking.

Who should take the desk on site
and report the incident?

CHAIRMAN

How about Korean cuisine for lunch today?

Take care of yourselves and immediately
report any new developments.

Get a good picture.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Ha-myeong.

Why did Mr. Hwang give that only to you?

What did you do
that he favors you so much?

You're so childish. It isn't like that.

MICHEONG VILLAGE
WASTE-DISPOSAL PLANT EXPLOSION

That's the case from 13 years ago

where your dad passed away.

Yes. I think they are documents
he gathered 13 years ago.

I also thought
these two incidents were similar.

I guess your captain did as well.

Yes.

I think that's why he thought
I should look into it.

So, that's what it was?
You should have said so.

It's okay.

They lived together for 13 years.

Of course they can read each other.

So what? It's over between them.

I don't need to worry.

I'm sorry, I'm late.

The roads are so backed up
because it's holiday season.

No, I just got here myself.

It must have been
so difficult for you lately.

Not at all.

It reminds me of my days
as a field reporter. It is nice.

I asked to see you
because I have a request

regarding this fire.

OUTLINE OF THE CASE

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON THE ROOFTOP

There are many similarities
to the fire 13 years ago.

Both were disposing regular waste
but had the explosive fire.

And the explosive fire
caused high death counts in both.

What caused the explosion?

There must have been waste
with explosive properties.

It was the illegal explosive waste.

Beom-jo...

I'm interested in the case
from 13 years ago thanks to someone,

so I looked into it.

I'm concerned they'll connect this
to the one 13 years ago.

As a matter of fact, it came up briefly
during the meeting today.

I knew it.

Even my son is talking
about the case from 13 years ago,

so it's bothering me.

-Your son?
-In his eyes, he is a reporter.

Anyway, these are sensitive times.

We can't have them dig up the buried past.

So, as a preventive measure...

take a look at this

and change the flow.

What is this?

The assemblyman who approved the plant
is a close friend of mine.

He's worried that the blame
would fall on him,

so I gave him a tip from 13 years ago.

That should help you a lot as it did then.

It's hard to find anything on

the plant owner or the source
of the waste from 13 years ago.

All I found was a single line.

They settled with the families,

so it ended with a probation
and community service.

Nine people died
and that is all they wrote on it?

Every article is about Ki Ho-sang.

Right. That's your dad. I'm sorry.

I didn't know there was no news
about those responsible.

This is absurd.

Your dad didn't cause the fire.

Why were they all picking on him?

They should've blamed the ones
responsible for the fire.

Why did this happen? What went wrong?

Reading through them all now,
it was awkward and overblown.

It's as if they were diverting
the attention to your dad.

There is nothing on the plant owner
or the source of the waste?

The articles didn't disclose their names,

so it'll be difficult to find them now.

Ha-myeong! Where are you going?

What's with him?

-He's getting suspicious.
-Suspicious? About what?

That maybe his dad was a scapegoat.

FIREMAN KI HO-SANG IS ALIVE

A PINOCCHIO WITNESS SAW HIM

WHERE IS KI HO-SANG HIDING?

THE POLICE ARE ON THE SEARCH

CAN MR. KI AVOID BEING HELD
LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE?

MR. KI'S RECKLESS ORDER TO ENTER

PROSECUTION INVESTIGATING BREACH OF DUTY

KI HO-SANG WANTED BY POLICE

And he's beginning to wonder

why that happened to him.

-Mr. Hwang, I have a question.
-What is it?

This fire is very similar to the fire
from 13 years ago.

The news is looking for the cause
of the fire and those responsible.

Why didn't that happen 13 years ago?

Why was it all focused on my dad
who had nothing to do with it?

We were looking
for those responsible at first.

But one day, the focus switched
to your father.

As in someone did it intentionally?

I don't know that myself.

It is just my speculation.

Mr. Hwang! MSC News is
airing an exclusive!

There is suspicion that the fire
at the waste-disposal plant

that caused over 40 casualties
was caused by

the negligence of a police officer.

This is a security video footage
from the day before the fire.

MSC obtained it exclusively.

Song Cha-ok reports.

I am at the scene of the fire
where more than 40 people

lost their lives or were injured.

The fire has been put out
but the fumes are still rising.

A security video footage
showed that this tragedy

could have been averted.

What an unique skill.

How did they get
the security video footage?

It's an unique skill.

The day before the fire,

a police officer enters the plant
after receiving the call.

He speaks with an employee

and looks around briefly.

Then, he leaves the plant.

He stayed less than five minutes.

That's Chan-su.

Chan-su?

You mean...

your high school friend, An Chan-su?

The Officer in question, Mr. An
of the Hangang Police Division

did not take any follow-up action.

It looked like there was
nothing wrong, so I left.

I was there about five, maybe ten minutes.

That has no basis.
She calls that a report?

The plant workers all say
the police was negligent.

He asked a few questions
and then he just left.

Hello, Mr. Jung.

You moron! Why did you do
an interview like that?

They said it was about the fire,
so I didn't think much of it.

How could you not think much of it?

How do you plan to fix that? Gosh...

Mr. Jung...

Did I do something that scary?

The officer thought nothing

-of the explosion.
-Did I?

Unfortunately, a huge tragedy occurred

at this plant the day after that
killing or injuring over 40 people.

Tragic accidents don't seem

-to stop.
-That police officer is my friend.

The nation is outraged that
his negligence caused...

-What?
-He's my friend, An Chan-su.

With MSC News, I am Song Cha-ok.

How is this Chan-su's fault?
How could they do that?

This is absurd.

He checked on a butane gas can explosion.

That didn't cause the fire.

It really is just like
the incident 13 years ago.

This happened back then as well.

Everyone was looking
for the cause of the fire,

but suddenly your dad's story popped up,
like Chan-su now.

So?

Were people bewitched
by this ridiculous story?

You too?

I'm sorry.

It may sound like an excuse,

but I thought that was right back then.

When a dog barks,

the neighborhood dogs bark along
without knowing why.

I just realized...

I was like the neighborhood dog.

Ms. Song is out of her mind.

How is this Chan-su's fault?

How could she conclude that so easily?
Does this make sense?

No. It doesn't.

Ms. Song, this exclusive makes no sense.

How is this An Chan-su's fault?

Mr. An is your friend, right?

You're irrational because he's your friend

and I won't respond to irrational banter.

I'm not friends with him
and I am not being irrational.

Will you respond to me?

Mr. An was called in
about a portable butane can explosion.

That was unrelated to this fire.

Of course, that's what he claims.

Would he say it's his fault?

Have you met the employee
who had called the fire department?

I tried, but he is unconscious.

It's all so sad.

So, you did not.

Then what did you base your conclusion on

that he is to be blamed for this fire?

I would like to ask you.

Why do you insist that he is not to blame?

At least the security footage is my proof.
What is yours?

And I raised suspicion.
I didn't make a conclusion.

Is that a problem?

Of course it is. People accept
that suspicion as the truth.

Just like 13 years ago.

Why are you bringing up
something from 13 years ago?

Did you use vague evidence like this then

to create suspicion and destroy a family?

So, bring at least
a vague piece of evidence first!

Don't protect him as a friend,
but as a reporter,

bring proper evidence!

I'll come and argue with evidence.

I'll find proof that An Chan-su
was not at fault.

We won't helplessly lose innocent lives

like 13 years ago.

I know you are diverting attention,

but I'll bring it back.
