(Episode 4)

You're awake, right?

Your heart rate indicates that you are awake.

You're nocturnal. Why are you up with everyone else?

You really mean to go to work at the newspaper?

You may end up rotting in prison, you stubborn mule.

I'm telling you, don't do it.

You want to work in a company with

other people with your face exposed.

The more people who remember your face,

the risk to you multiplies 12-fold. You know that.

Let's lie low for just three months.

The detectives will move on after three months.

It will soon become an unsolved crime, so...

You stubborn mule.

Hey, Lady.

Detectives are always busy.

They have plenty of other cases.

That girl, Chae Yeongsin is

really a bait for me.

It feels like winter.

The fish is definitely nibbling.

I need to find out if this fish is the one who killed

Ko Seongcheol and framed me for it, or if there is

someone bigger behind him.

It will take four days at most.

If I don't catch anything by then, I'll leave.

So? Do I look like Reporter Park Bongsu now?

Goodness.

Lose the glasses. Your bare face is your disguise.

Okay.

Don't let them see who you are.

Don't do anything to stand out.

If someone curses you, just listen.

If someone hits you, just get hit!

If a superior gives orders, you always answer "Yes."

Yes?

You will write 60 articles a day.

You will do it quickly.

Write articles... Newspaper articles...

Write 60 of them every day?

I...

Here.

See these live news items?

- Yes. / - Write articles using these search terms.

Six items for each search term. That makes it 60.

You can copy piece by piece from other articles.

Come up with attention-grabbing headlines.

End of training.

Chief, I wrote two versions of the article.

One is tough, the other is sexy.

Just choose whichever you prefer.

This is awesome.

Please publish it. Just once.

If you want it so much, put it on your blog.

You know I don't do things like that.

Really? Let's use this opportunity to create a blog.

What would be a good name for your blog?

Yes, Reporter Chae Yeongsin's vomit.

What, are you scared, Chief?

You are scared.

You want me to catch celebrities like mice and

get as much out of them as possible

but you're scared because this is a politician.

Hey.

You think this is even worth getting scared about?

Look at this. Look.

She isn't a star

but an actress-in-training who was raped once.

- She wasn't just... / - But,

she neither committed suicide nor was she murdered.

How is this newsworthy?

You mean you'll only get interested if someone dies?

Of course. Yes.

Wow. Chief Jang Byeongse, where are your morals?

When you go home and your kids call you "Daddy,"

don't you feel ashamed?

Watch your mouth. You're walking on thin ice.

All due respect, My chief, please...

Please let me sleep.

You can't sleep if I don't publish this?

You are too fired up with a sense of justice?

No.

That actress-in-training who tried to kill herself is

staying in my house.

More precisely, in my room, next to my bed.

So?

I can't sleep when someone is in the same room.

It's been days now. I'm going crazy.

So this article needs to be published, so she can

take it to the police and

not threaten, but pressure them to start investigating.

And once that starts, she will be

very busy for a while

so I can send her back home and

I will finally be able to get some sleep.

Do you understand?

- Yeongsin. / - Yes, Chief?

Kim Uichan is

a Seoul mayoral candidate. We can't use his real name.

We can call him "K." We'll use his initial.

The only real name we can use is hers.

Do you want to just use her name?

- That's not fair. / - Exactly. So, don't do it.

And you, get over here. Come here.

- My ear. My ear. / - Shut it. Shut it. Shut it.

You.

Just focus on training your successor, got it?

Bye.

Come one, Chief... Darn it.

You'd better move away from me now.

You piece of trash copy machine!

You punk! You jerk!

You stupid, worthless machine!

What the...

I will have to secure your phone.

We can't risk

any conversation in the room being recorded.

That's the rule.

Search thoroughly.

I'm actually hiding a gun.

- Hey, Munho. / - Munho.

I'm a fan of yours.

Do you know how much we wanted to meet you?

Wow, you're much better looking in person.

It's nice to meet you.

My brother said he'd cut my allowance if I didn't come.

It's an honor to meet everyone who works

behind the scenes.

Munho, here, this way.

You haven't had dinner yet, have you?

We brought this chef from France.

He came in first in some cooking contest.

It's good.

I'm scared that big names like you invited and fed

this no-name reporter like me.

May I first ask what this is about?

You are such a reporter.

You are different from politicians.

See? He seeks facts straight off the bat.

What could those facts be?

Here is the fact.

We've picked you, Munho.

They want to throw you into the political ring.

Not me. I want you to come to my company

like I've always wanted.

No way, I won't stand for that.

If Munho is available in the market,

my company has priority.

Let's stop the gibberish.

What do you say, Munho?

Would you enter the political world

on behalf of us, the media?

We think you are perfect for the job.

You're a star, and you're handsome.

That is very important.

What is more important is your defiant attitude.

You make such bold statements with conviction.

Younger generation is rooting for him.

We're not so good with the young people.

Munho, you can win them over for us.

I have a question.

When you say "us,"

who do you mean exactly?

Mr. Seo,

what do we have for Munho to do first?

How about Mayor candidate Kim Uichan's campaign?

That is a good idea.

He will have his candidacy announcement ceremony.

Start by showing your face there.

Yes. You must show this face often.

That way, we can benefit from having the star with us.

Munho,

trust us.

We will be the platform to your success in this world.

Let's aim for that high position...

Us, together.

Then I'll prepare for appointing him as a spokesperson

for Assemblyman Kim Uichan's campaign.

Good, good.

Let's drink. Munho.

Thank you for coming all the way to Seoul.

It's my case. If there is any progress, I should come.

I could have emailed the file to you.

I wanted to hear it from the person

who has been chasing him for five years.

So, is he really Healer?

Let's go.

Ko Seongcheol

landed in Incheon airport and took the shuttle

and transferred to the subway.

But there was a problem with the subway that day.

The train stopped for a few minutes

between Gayang and Jungri stations.

From what we know, someone hacked

into the system and stopped the train.

What?

You can hack the system in the subway?

The station where this train came from

had its security cameras disabled temporarily.

And at the same time at the next station...

These guys...

They are SS Guard's men.

Double S? What is that?

They are messengers like Healer.

They're probably the largest group in the nation.

So they are working with the Healer?

No, I don't think so.

It looks like they fought over Ko Seongcheol.

It's so complicated.

How did you find that out?

Let's take a look.

I found this while looking into social media sites.

This is a video by a passenger on that train.

They must have filmed it since the subway came to

a sudden stop in between stations.

This is the murder victim, Ko Seongcheol.

I believe this is Healer next to him.

And...

They were being chased.

They are SS Guard's men.

Email me this video.

- Let me take a closer look. / - Yes, Sir.

A hacker who stops even the subway.

That's impressive.

But is this police station safe?

No hacker has broken through the police firewall.

Unless there's an insider, of course.

Gosh, Yoon Dongwon...

You annoyingly diligent brat.

When is he going to retire?

Yes, Boss.

Healer turned off his tracker again.

You need to find him.

Don't do anything once you find him.

You need to watch his back.

Yes, I know that punk

hates it when someone is behind him.

But the situation is very dangerous now.

The back of my head keeps tingling.

First, find the girl Chae Yeongsin

since he said he'd be around her for a while.

Chief, I have a question.

Don't ask questions while eating. Just eat.

Why were you fired from your old newspaper

a long time ago?

Guys, watch how much she drinks.

She's starting to lose it.

You were fired for writing an article

that your boss told you not to, right?

You got fired for fighting for the truth, right?

Stop her.

- Hey! / - What a waste. What a waste.

You made me spill it.

And that was not that long ago.

"A long time ago"? I'm not that old.

If it wasn't a long time ago,

shouldn't there be something

alive and squirming inside you?

Did an alien lay an egg inside me or something?

What do you mean alive and squirming?

I'm trying to be serious here. Stop cutting me off.

That's what I'm saying. Just eat.

Don't try to be serious when we're eating. Just eat.

Here we go.

- What on earth... / - You eat. Stop her. Stop her.

Our chief has turned into a grumpy old man.

That's why you're afraid of political articles.

You can only write about love affairs.

I'm so sad. This is such a tragedy. I'm sad.

I need someone young.

Someone fresh. Where is Park... Where is Park Bongsu?

He'll be here soon. He needed to stop by somewhere.

What? Why?

Without his direct superior's permission? Why?

You look just like your dad.

After your dad passed away like that,

it was hard for me looking at you.

You like potatoes.

Eat.

You should eat too, Mother.

I made your favorite grilled mackerel.

Mommy, are you going somewhere?

Yes, I'm going somewhere.

Where are you going?

Somewhere kind of far away.

When are you coming back?

I probably

won't be coming back.

Why not?

I'm sorry.

Then can I visit you instead?

I'm sorry.

Eat. I'll leave after you finish.

Don't you dare sneak out of your after-school class.

I'll be there when you get out, okay?

- Answer me. / - I said, fine.

Hello?

Whoever invented shaved ice,

I want to send that person a letter of appreciation.

What grade is your son in, Mom?

He's starting senior year in high school.

He won't study for his life.

He won't listen to me. He's making me age quickly.

What about your husband? Is he drinking less?

Him? Drink less?

He has too many reasons to drink. He'd rather eat less.

But what brings you here, Jeonghu?

This photo.

You said they are dad's friends, right?

You still have this?

I don't have many photos of him. This is one of them.

Why do you ask?

Do you know them well?

Not really.

They are your dad's college buddies.

I think he worked at the same newspaper as your dad.

I think his wife was a reporter too.

Here. These two are married.

You don't know where they are now, or what they do?

No. This was so long ago.

Look how young your dad looks here. I'm so old now.

I fell for this face.

Do you have any of dad's stuff?

I don't think so.

You know I can't have things like that now.

I guess not.

I'll take a look.

- Jeonghu. / - What?

Why did you order red beans when you don't like them?

I like red beans.

You always push them over to me.

Because you like them, Mom.

- Please! / - We have a lot of food left.

- But you have to go. / - No...

I'm sorry I'm late.

What, it's over already?

No, they are all inside. You should go in.

What? Here is my successor.

- Your name is Park Bongsu. Bongsu. Bongsu. / - Yes.

You're leaving?

Yeongsin is a bit drunk.

How many times should I tell you? I'm not drunk at all.

I have a really high tolerance.

My wish is to get drunk but I can't. How annoying.

You are drunk.

Right, did I tell you this?

The human brain

consists of three layers

She has been talking about dinosaurs for a while.

That means she is really drunk.

Then I'll take her home. You should go back in.

In the middle of the three, way on the inside is...

There is still so much food left...

- Let's go. / - So...

- You want to hear my theory, right? / - Yes, sure.

- You want to hear it? / - Yes. Dinosaurs...

The chief said we don't know what trouble she may cause

so don't let her out of your sight until she's in bed!

Okay? Good luck!

So in the middle of the human brain...

Look. Like this. It's the size of a ping pong ball.

That is the dinosaur's brain. Dinosaur.

It's in your brain, too.

So, why is it there for?

That's for our survival instinct.

This is the important part, so listen. Concentrate.

Taxi!

Just a minute.

Ma'am! Let's go!

You get angry and fight

- and step on them. / - Hey!

You hit them and kill them!

As long as you survive, isn't that right?

Ma'am. The taxi is here, so...

Let go of me.

Let go. Let go, you punk.

- Let's go. Come on. / - Wait. Hey.

I'm not done. You rotten dinosaur, you.

Let's talk about dinosaurs inside the cab.

Hey, Yeongsin! Hey!

Hey!

Look at her. Her eyes are unfocused.

Yeongsin is wasted.

How much did you drink?

Dad.

I think about a dinosaur brain now and then.

Don't you feel bad for them? What could they do, right?

You are completely wasted.

Who are you?

- Hello, I am... / - Hey. This punk.

He is my successor. His name is

Bongsu. Bongsuk.

Bongsuk. Bambadadada.

Hey, Bongsuk

Right!

Why do you want to go home

Hey. Wait. Would you get her?

- Let's go, Yeongsin. / - Why? Why now...

Bongsuk, what will we do about these drinks

Wow, she is strong.

Right, yes.

Hello, I am Park Bongsu.

I'm Yeongsin's direct subordinate.

That is why I brought her home today.

I live way out in Incheon and...

Given the time, the buses and

trains have stopped running.

I listened to her dinosaurs talking

for 40 minutes on the cab ride here.

And the cab fare was pretty hefty and...

And I don't have much money and...

So, may I sleep here just for the night?

You're her direct subordinate?

- Yes. / - So you'll be stuck to her on a daily basis?

That's how I'll learn from her, I guess?

What? Wait, we just met.

Where are we going?

Excuse me. I'm sorry. Please don't kill me.

- Hey, Yeonhui. / - Yes?

Did I tell you this?

When people are born,

they only have a dinosaur's brain.

Did I tell you that?

Tell me later. Let's sleep for now.

Then another part of the brain develops

which is a mammal's brain.

That part is completed during puberty.

And it controls emotions.

The pain that you feel now and

this bad feeling I get when I look at you...

You're drunk. You should go to sleep.

There is an important thing left.

And then, the final part of the brain develops.

That is a primate's brain. The frontal lobe.

This is what makes

people different from dinosaurs and other animals.

By the time a woman hits 25, it gets fully developed.

But

I passed 25 a long time ago.

So...

What are you doing?

Do I look drunk to you?

You reek too much of alcohol.

Fine, let's say I'm drunk.

Let's cause troubles. Something only human can do.

Causing troubles while drunk.

Please don't tell Yeongsin

that we are about to tell you.

Of course. I won't let her know.

I have a favor to ask since you are with

Yeongsin all the time.

You call this asking for a favor?

No.

I have a few warnings for you.

- There are at least three. / - Three.

- First. / - Yes, Sir.

Don't let her drink.

That is difficult.

She is super quick at grabbing a bottle.

Especially

when she talks about dinosaurs, that's a sign.

Well, she doesn't drink that often.

Maybe three or four times a year?

But every time she gets drunk, she causes troubles.

Big trouble.

- Second. / - Okay, second.

- Don't let her open cans. / - Cans, Sir?

She tends to cut her finger when she opens cans.

One out of three times, she draws blood.

- And never... / - Yes, Sir. Never...

Never, under any circumstances, let her see violence.

Violence?

Something happened to her

when she was young.

So if she sees violence in front of her...

Well, so she...

She'll have an episode.

I see.

She can't breathe.

What? She can't breathe?

- It's post-traumatic stress... / - Quiet!

She gets chest pains and other respiratory symptoms.

So...

If she sees violence...

Even if she just caught a glimpse?

Don't try to find out anything more.

Anyway, never let her

go anywhere near anything violent.

Please keep her away.

Yes, Sir.

I am asking you for a favor.

Of course, that's a favor.

- Yes, do us this favor. / - Yes, this is a favor, too.

There are so many books.

When did you first report it?

That was the 17th of last month.

On the 17th of last month, actress J...

reported businessman H to the police for

sexual assault.

I'm going to be graphic from here on. Is that okay?

I told you, I just want you to tell the truth.

It turns out

among the clients that H forced her to

perform sexual favors for

was none other than

Assemblyman K of the ruling party.

What about his name?

I gave you their names. Why aren't you using them?

Then I have to reveal your name, too.

Do it. I don't care about it.

I don't want to.

Why not? Are you afraid?

Yes, I'm terrified.

Once your name is out there,

what will you do then?

You don't care what happens to you next?

Do you want to go down with them? That is not fair.

They alone should get punished for what they did.

Dinosaur, mammal and human.

(Article submitted)

What?

Darn it. Who is that woman?

Why are there so many women?

What?

What the...

- Boss? / - Hey, so I was...

You really thought

you could tail me?

No, that's not it. So, what happened was...

Here.

I need you to tail him from now on, not me.

Who is he?

Don't you watch the news? He's a big shot reporter.

Tail him 24 hours a day and report whenever he moves.

But the boss said she was nervous about you and...

You turned off your tracker.

That's not why I'm tailing you, but...

So what I was doing was watching your back.

Hey, excuse me.

Hey, Miss.

Seriously. Hey, you.

That's my spot.

Hey.

You said you can't sleep with someone in the same room.

I am that someone.

Excuse me.

Hey. Hey.

I'm right next to you.

So you should go back to your room and...

You are not...

even scared.

One, two, three.

Napa cabbage kimchi.

Good.

Here.

So are you really the first to buy a house among us?

You're jealous, right?

You are so proud of me, right?

Goodness, I'm dying with this jealousy.

Congratulations. You have a beautiful house.

Half of it was through loans.

We're in financial trouble now.

Where is Jian?

She was playing with Jeonghu. Where did she go?

I don't know.

What? Are you serious?

Hey!

We must protect our source, so we can't tell you.

We cannot tell you who K is either.

No, Yeongsin is not in.

Where is Yeongsin? I thought someone saw her.

Isn't she in? I thought someone saw her!

I didn't see her.

Take it down. Take down the article.

Let's take it down first. This is bad. It's very bad.

The view count is insane. We are in first place...

Who cares about the view count right now?

It's a top search term, too.

"Actress sexual exploitation." "Assemblyman K."

Where is Yeongsin?

They're looking for you out there.

It's a madhouse right now.

Hey. Seriously?

What should we do?

This is what the article says.

"Assemblyman K of the ruling party."

"Favored to be next mayor of Seoul."

It is obviously Assemblyman Kim Uichan.

Is Munho in?

Yes, he just went into the editing room.

- Listen carefully. / - Yes, I'm listening.

It'll be a mess if Munho gets involved in this.

Yes, Ma'am.

I'll assign something else to Munho.

That's where you come in.

Your mission is to prevent him

from looking at anything else.

But Chief, how could I dare stop him...

I don't think I can do it.

You said you're from the suburbs, right?

Yes, from Chuncheon.

If you can't do anything here,

do you want to transfer there?

No, Ma'am. I'll follow your orders.

That editing isn't urgent, is it?

Why?

We got a tip about Chairman Yang.

The Prosecutors' Office is starting to act.

They found evidence that he hid his assets.

You know many prosecutors. Call them up.

Why?

The assets that he hid are art pieces.

You know we're doing a special on artwork.

I want to include this with it.

You came all the way to this shabby room

just to tell me that?

You could have told me during the meeting

or called me to your office.

This isn't like you.

Take care of it for me. I'll tell the cameraman.

Jongsu, why are you tagging along with her?

Pardon?

You guys don't usually hang out together.

I...

That is...

Is this Kim Uichan?

Is it a respectable paper, not a tabloid?

- Ignore it. / - How far did it spread?

- Did others join the party? / - It's Kim Uichan.

It will be buried in a day.

This reporter is hiding the victim.

That's why he wrote it with such confidence.

Where did this come from?

Kim Munho.

- Which one is it? / - Pardon?

It's a small online newspaper. The name is weird, too.

Sunday or Someday or something...

I said, ignore it.

Don't get involved.

(Reporter: Chae Yeongsin) The politics desk

will take care of it.

So you just take care of the Chairman Yang matter.

Find out just how much artwork he had and...

We have been taking care of the media

so it will be under control shortly.

But there are those we cannot control.

What if it spreads to those...

We can't let it spread to them.

It is unverified.

It's obviously a ploy to attack politically

the next mayor of Seoul.

Yes, that's it. A ploy.

We cannot allow people to slander others based on

groundless claims and disturb the order of things.

We will take care of it.

This is so...

What a disgrace.

Sexual favors? My goodness.

If my wife ever found out... Gosh...

Regardless, people will bother you.

But I think

Mr. Hwang is probably an easier target than you.

Don't worry about me.

I will take all these secrets to my grave.

Mr. Hwang, watch your mouth.

- Pardon? / - What secrets?

Are you keeping any secrets?

No, of course not.

You said that troublesome actress is missing?

Yes. I'm sorry, Sir.

Who is that reporter again?

Someday News' Chae Yeongsin.

Look into her.

She's probably hiding that woman.

Bring that woman and silence the reporter.

You figure out how.

I'll take care of it.

Hello.

It's him, right? Right?

Awesome.

How is the view count?

It's so loud.

Reporter Chae Yeongsin is not at her desk.

Reporter Chae Yeongsin is not at her desk right now.

Hang up. It's so noisy.

He said to hang up. Okay.

Seriously...

Reporter Chae Yeongsin.

I'm Reporter Chae Yeongsin, that's right.

May we speak for a minute?

I'm a fan.

How could he?

Hand over that story to me.

You probably won't be able to protect that story

or your source.

It's too much of a waste if it gets buried.

So leave it to me.

Wow. I didn't think he'd be like that.

I'm a good judge of character, and I never thought

he would be such a hypocrite and fake.

But why are you following me?

Sorry? I left something at your house, so...

Kim Munho, is that how you became a star?

By stealing the stories of unknown reporters and

making it your own? Is that how you made it?

When did you start speaking down to me?

Me? I would never do that, Ma'am.

But what do I do about this feeling of betrayal?

What do I do? Gosh...

That source is probably in danger right now.

Can't you tell whether or not she's in danger?

You don't understand what is going on, do you?

You have no clue what you've done or how things are

going to be, do you?

How dare he talk down to me?

That nasty jerk.

I can't believe I idolized someone so...

Hey, Lady.

Hey, you mutt! Where are you?

I turned on my tracker. Hack into the security camera.

Why?

What's going on? What is it?

Healer, you need to run.

Those are Sangsu's guys.

The guys whom you fought with last time.

Your face is exposed.

What are you doing? I said, run!

Reporter Chae Yeongsin?

Who are you?

That's none of your business.

You know Joo Yeonhui, right?

Hey, you should answer when someone asks a question.

- Who? / - Joo Yeonhui. You know her.

You will take us to Joo Yeonhui now.

Do you understand?

- Hey, new guy. / - Yes, Ma'am?

I'll distract them, so you run.

Call the police.

Excuse me.

You seem to be mistaken.

What? Joo what? Joo Yeonhui?

If you'd tell me who that is, maybe I can...

You are really annoying.

Hey, get rid of him.

What... What are you doing?

That hurts! That hurts!

I'll go, so stop. Stop it! I'll go!

- I'm sorry! / - So leave him alone.

I said I'd go! I'm going!

Come on.

Healer, you didn't hit back, right?

Good. Now pull out.

Something happened to her

when she was young.

She can't breathe.

So, it was too painful. So painful that

I considered killing myself.

Where I was hit hurt terribly.

A few of my ribs were broken.

I called the police. They'll be there in 10 minutes.

Get out of there.

Are you serious?

This is bad. This is really bad.

Healer showed up? Where?

Next to Chae Yeongsin.

Just do as I instructed.

I can't resign. This is so unfair.

Come to me if you can't handle it.

I sent you a picture. Find out who they are.

From 1992 until now,

we've been on the same side.

Do you know how much I was worried?

Do you like Yeongsin that much?

That's the guy. It's Healer.
