Sorry, Seok Joo.

(Episode 30)

I apologize.

You can't apologize so easily.

How am I supposed to take revenge then?

I'm sorry.

I was also...

going to Chaeum Clinic at the time.

I was getting illegal stem cell treatments.

I...

have Parkinson's disease.

Dr. Kim was a terrible human being, but he was talented.

When I received the treatments,

I thought I had been saved.

But one night, Han Kyu told me...

that you took Dr. Kim's picture.

My stomach dropped,

but I held my ground and said to publish the story.

However,

I tossed and turned all night and thought about it.

I was ashamed, but I wanted to live longer.

That's why I called Dr. Kim...

to tell him to appease you.

Let's not waste our energy.

I'll save Se Eun.

I said to fix your daughter...

and to appease you.

You should've...

just cut the story from the desk instead.

It was too humiliating.

I lectured you about being a true journalist.

It would've been humiliating to cut the story.

You thwarted the temptation to fix your daughter...

and submitted the photographs.

How could I cut it?

When I saw your photographs on the front page,

I felt all sorts of emotions.

I told myself that I could die a happy man...

because I raised a true journalist.

That's why I wanted to have dinner with you that night.

If we had, I would've brought you here that night.

Soon thereafter, Oh Chae Rin held her press conference.

Dr. Kim Hyung Se and I...

are lovers.

Dr. Kim committed suicide.

(Nara News)

And I turned my head away from you...

as you fell.

I'm sorry, Seok Joo.

I was a coward.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

Go and punish me in your own way.

You can publish the photos those men outside took.

You can air my voice...

that you're recording now without distorting it.

You should go now.

Thank you for drinking with me.

You overestimate yourself.

This isn't newsworthy.

Sunday wouldn't cover something like this.

Seok Joo.

Please forgive me...

and come back.

Return to Nara News.

I need someone like you.

I've already...

been too tainted.

I can't return to being a journalist.

Yes, Seok Joo.

This is enough.

There's no rush here. Let's drink some coffee and take our time.

It doesn't look like there's an end to this pile.

I should put up a sign that says we specialize in petty crimes.

Division 1 and 2 sent us three more boxes of...

petty crime cases on the Chief Prosecutor's order.

How is Cho Hyung Joon doing? Did you ask his doctor?

He hasn't woken up yet. They can't say when he will.

We need him...

to wake up for us to come up with a way to crack this case.

You should give up. Division One took the case.

Even if he wakes up, we won't be able to do a thing.

Myung Jin.

Buy me some soju.

Why don't you go grab some food?

Okay. I will.

Soo Hyun. You know nothing.

If we lose those photos, you and I are dead!

"Only little kids and girls like pink."

"We don't play with little kids."

"Tiffany made fun of him."

"Other people like pink too."

Are you doing a lot of volunteer work...

as you reflect on what you've done?

I guess I'm cut out for this.

It's more fun than I thought. And the kids are cute too.

I'm glad your time here is rewarding.

I've been pretty productive myself.

I've been thinking about this for a while now.

Why did I assume that the dates on the memo from Dr. Kim...

were the dates of your Propofol injections?

It was probably because the photos that Seok Joo...

took and released were...

from when you were getting your Propofol shot.

After looking back on the day of the incident,

that wasn't everything.

When Dr. Kim was writing me that memo,

he was looking at dates...

on his diary, and they were all marked with the letter P.

And I assumed that P was for Propofol.

But as you said, P wasn't for Propofol.

Right?

If that didn't stand for Propofol,

what was it?

Stop trying to dig up things you know nothing about.

You'll get hurt.

As soon as the White Haired Witch mentioned the memo,

you got so scared of this person, that you ran to the prosecutor.

I shouldn't stay here for long either.

I'll be safer at the prosecutors' office.

Before Cho Hyung Joon ended up how he is now,

he said that without the photos, we would be as good as dead.

If we lose those photos, you and I are dead!

In the end, it will be someone Sunday took a photo of.

Well, does this person's last name start with P?

Soo Hyun.

This is coming from the bottom of my heart.

You should stop here.

Actually, the real reason I'm here today is...

to see your reaction.

So P doesn't stand for a person's last name.

Right?

- What are you trying to pull now? - Should I take a guess?

That P stood for "party".

Those parties you were forced to go.

And someone you, Kim Hyung Se,

and Cho Hyung Joon knew was there at the parties.

Kim Hyung Se gave me the memo, so he could pressure...

that individual through you.

Stop it.

Soo Hyun.

Don't try to find out...

more about the parties.

If you get closer,

you and Seok Joo won't be able to survive this.

Putting it all together, that person is...

someone who attended the parties you went to.

Someone who got the address from...

Cho Hyung Joon and killed Kim Hyung Se.

Someone Cho Hyung Joon would never let go using that photo.

In other words, someone who was in Cho Hyung Joon's photo.

Someone who was...

on Sunday's secret board of directors until recently.

(CEO Na)

Hello?

Hey, it's me. You should come to the office.

As a news agency to another. Let's talk about business.

Pardon?

Okay.

How have you been?

It's been a while, Mr. Han.

Hand me the thing I gave you earlier.

You don't need to return this when you leave.

You can take this with you.

You should go up. He's waiting for you.

Have a good day.

(Nara News, Han Seok Joo)

It's been a while since you've been back here, right?

On the website, it said you guys are a news syndicator.

So I'd like to hire you to take a photo.

- Pardon? - We've been...

outsourcing photography for a long time now.

It wouldn't look suspicious...

even if I outsource photography to Sunday.

You don't need to force this.

We're doing just fine...

without help from you.

This isn't for show. I'm serious.

I'm not doing this as a favor to you.

My photographers at Nara News won't take photos...

of which I'm about to ask Sunday to take for me.

They say it violates the ethics of photographers and whatnot.

I have no choice.

I should make a request from Sunday who's the best in the field.

And I know that...

you guys are doing fine all on your own.

That's why I'm asking you to help me, Mr. Han.

Then...

I should at least hear what kind of photos you want.

(Mayor Kim Sang Chul)

- No way. - My goodness.

Is this true?

Are you sure someone like him would do that?

They have received a credible tip from a victim.

But he is...

He was elected mayor for being...

a young, progressive politician with a conscience.

There's no way he'd commit sexual assault.

Hey, Ms. Jang.

Well, Director Jang.

Remember Clinton?

Those innocent types are worse. They just didn't get caught.

More importantly, he's always leading in the polls.

And it's a sure bet that he'll run for President in the next election.

Are you sure we should follow him and take his photos?

Is the CEO of Nara News not afraid of the aftermath?

He's not afraid.

His days are numbered.

He has Parkinson's disease.

Oh my gosh.

He'll die after the story break, so he doesn't care.

But what about us?

We can't do it, sir.

We can't do what?

It's the media's job to weed out scumbags like that.

Ms. Ji.

Ms. Ji.

Are you back?

Do we not have to edit anymore?

Our specialty is catching scumbags that look clean on the outside...

but are rotten on the inside.

Nara News will be the one breaking the news anyway.

I don't think it'll be bad for us...

to use our specialty to act like a real media company.

Isn't that right, sir?

Are you back?

I may be, and I may not be.

I'll stay if the terms are right,

but I'll go elsewhere if not.

It must be nice to be so confident all the time.

Don't you mean "brazen"?

What about you?

Why are you still not confident to face Se Eun?

Because I've become brazen as well now.

That's why...

I can't be confident.

So? What are your terms?

The same as before. Full authority over gathering news and editing.

A 30 percent raise.

And...

I want to be co-CEO.

I can't take their titles away.

How about you be the sole CEO?

I'm not stupid.

I don't want to take the fall alone if things go south like Mr. Cho.

Why are you back?

I wanted to let you be,

but you weren't doing a good job.

You clearly need my help.

Then are we chasing the same person...

right now?

Myung Jin. Sorry.

Why are you sorry?

I'm a moron...

and let it slip through my fingers. That's why this happened.

Moron.

I am going to resign soon.

You should request a transfer.

What? Transfer?

Everyone knows I was...

your minion.

If I say, "I want to transfer,"

would someone actually take me?

Or are you afraid I'd ask you to take me with you...

if you start your own practice?

Myung Jin!

Stop swearing like that.

I feel like you're swearing at me.

I am.

You're a moron too.

Come on.

Couldn't you beg the higher-ups or something?

This must be the end

I will go back now

A prosecutor shouldn't urinate in public.

Look who's here.

It's the Korean-bred...

true journalist in the paparazzi world.

It's nice to see you again.

No, that's not right.

Anyway, what brings you to this part of town?

I'm looking for someone and I'd like your help.

Help?

A prosecutor with no connections...

who's about to be fired.

A prosecutor with guts...

to sock it to the higher-ups since you're getting fired anyway.

A prosecutor who put up an act before,

but will actually become a true patriot.

Someone like that.

Do you know someone like that?

Once Mayor Kim Sang Chul became the mayor of Gangnam,

he ran it better than his predecessor,

the city's deficit went down drastically.

He increased the welfare budget, so his ratings are very high.

Although he does not belong to any political party,

he is close to City Councilmen and Assemblymen.

I think they're all trying to win him over to their side...

because he is a popular presidential candidate.

Next is the analysis of his personal life,

his sexual conquests, and personal relationships...

based on what's available.

Ms. Yeo.

Simply put, he's clean.

He seems to take care of himself, especially for a politician.

He doesn't drink or smoke,

gamble or even make bets with friends.

It's true that he's popular with women,

but seeing how well he and his wife get along,

it seems unusual that he had such a relationship...

with his supporter and member of his campaign staff.

Then all we have at the moment is the victim's statement, correct?

Did you analyze data on her?

We asked for her information, but Nara hasn't identified her yet.

They say it's to protect their source.

Mr. Han. I'll need to interview her myself.

Let's use her as our actress.

Venom has made her comeback.

When she said she wanted to use the victim as the actress,

I felt a catharsis.

That's right. That's it.

Someone who stole once could steal again.

Hey, we should be considerate of the victim though.

How could we make the victim do that?

That's why you'll never compare to Venom.

Watch and learn.

So? How are preparations going?

We need to create the same situation...

in order to take a photo of him doing what she claims.

But Mayor Kim is very cautious...

and very thorough with everything.

Even if we send in an actress,

he won't respond that readily to someone he just met.

An actress?

I knew it.

Are you setting a trap?

Yes.

It's meaningless to chase him around without a plan.

Then?

I think the victim, whom he did that to once already,

who is unable to report him for what he did,

is the easiest target for him to repeat his crime on.

Thus, we have no choice but to use her as bait.

What?

Isn't that too cruel?

She came to us with the tip.

We can't use her as bait.

Furthermore, she's our source now.

The first thing I learned when I came into this industry...

was that we do not save a person even if they are drowning.

Whatever the perpetrator does,

whatever the victim suffers,

we do not interfere.

We simply take their photographs.

The informant must have a reason for coming to you.

Either she wants justice,

revenge, or compensation.

Then she'll have to put in the effort as well.

You've become a true paparazzo.

You want to send the victim back in.

If you want to be ethical when taking the photos,

you should assign this to a Nara photographer.

No, it's okay. It makes sense.

We must sacrifice one for the good of many.

I'll try to persuade her.

Don't worry about a thing, and take the photos.

That's the best you can do for the country.

Thank you.

Have dinner with me tonight.

Gomtang again?

No, no. Let's eat somewhere nice tonight.

I'll send a car for you.

I'll let you meet the victim. But you must come alone.

Don't bring any cameras.

Sure.

(Oh Chae Rin)

Yes, go ahead.

The party you're looking for will be held tonight.

Be careful, Soo Hyun.

Now, my life rests in your hands.

Don't worry. Text me the address.

Hye Jung. We have a scoop.

Get your team ready.

All three teams.

Come in.

You need to show off your photography skills.

I can't do that today. I have an appointment.

This is very important.

This is very important for me too.

This is the Chief Prosecutor from the Central Branch.

Ms. Ji...

No, you're the co-CEO now.

This place looks somewhat familiar.

You're right.

It's where the old naked men with bad hair were having fun.

Right?

I remember going to that place...

on Mr. Cho's order when I just started out.

But I can't believe Chae Rin used to entertain them here.

It's almost time now.

I doubt that there will be more people joining.

I think we need to make our move pretty soon.

Are you asking me?

Hye Jung. You're the director now.

You're the field commander. I'm just here to observe.

Okay.

But if I were you, I would wait a little more.

Take photos now.

There's one more car coming in.

That car is... Wait. That car is...

Who is it this time?

Who is it?

It's our boss.

It's Mr. Han.

Please hand me your cellphone.

Please excuse me.

You can go in now, sir.

Welcome, Seok Joo.

I'm sure you know these two, right?

I only called people that you know to help you feel comfortable here.

I enjoy the fish very much.

I didn't expect...

to see you here.

Congratulations on becoming our family.

Hey, Chae Rin.

Turn on the TV.

- There's a good show tonight. - Right.

I know that you didn't bring them here.

Actually, we're catching a fly tonight.

That fly has been following and pestering Chae Rin.

That Ji Soo Hyun.

Mr. Kang, is it ready?

Yes. We have all the snipers ready in their positions.

What should we do, Seok Joo?
