(Episode 7)

Hey, mutt. Are you up?

Do you like my upgraded morning call?

It's the chicken version.

I faxed you your plane ticket.

It takes off this afternoon

so get up and pack, and don't forget your passport.

Get to the airport two hours early.

What are you talking about?

What plane ticket?

Your master chose the destination.

It's somewhere in Australia.

What? You spoke with him? When?

So where is he now?

You can swim and hunt crocodiles for a year.

He said to learn English in your spare time, too.

That old fart.

I need to see him.

Give me his number. You have it, don't you?

The messenger Healer will close shop until you return.

What are you talking about?

I even found out about Kim Munsik.

I just have to meet...

- that jerk... / - Your master says he will

meet with that jerk.

Why?

You little runt.

Listen to your elders, will you?

Elders my foot.

What?

What are the two of you scheming?

Hey.

- What is it? / - Hey.

Jeonghu.

Jeonghu?

Healer. Pack up for now.

As you pack, you can...

Forget it.

You'll go to the airport?

I'm going to work.

You promised!

You said you'd play the bait for three days!

And four days passed long ago!

"Jeonghu."

Since when did you say my name so lovingly like that?

And has Master called even once after abandoning me

and taking off like that?

And now? He bought me a plane ticket? Why?

So I can't work at the paper?

Then I must work at the paper.

To stop me from meeting Kim Munsik?

Then I must meet him today.

Hey, you stray cat. So...

So...

He can talk to me in person.

That old fart.

I wasn't planning to come.

My animalistic instinct told me

that there is a trap up ahead.

That I'd end up with at least a broken ankle

if I get caught.

So, let's not get close and escape.

He's a night messenger.

You've never heard of them before, right?

All I know about him are the rumors,

but you know how rumors are.

They are exaggerated and blown out of proportion.

But it made my heart race and

made me fantasize.

That's how my second crush began.

It's true.

I wasn't going to bother saying goodbye.

Why bother saying goodbye to someone

I'd never see again? That's just silly.

So, the reason I am here again is purely

because of Master, that wicked old man.

What? Go hunt crocodiles?

What the...

You scared me.

I told you he'd never follow an order

that he isn't convinced of.

What will you do now?

That little kid has grown up.

He grew a lot.

Honestly, he's better than you.

No way.

It isn't easy to surpass your teacher.

So what will you do?

Her face is A-class.

She's not bad.

She's really skinny in my opinion,

but that's the South Pacific's standard of beauty.

She looks good from behind, too.

Those bright eyes.

She must have an I.Q. of over 120.

What on earth are you doing?

Based on my experience,

she'll never be satisfied with a little kid like that.

So today, you pass.

I'm sure she will be drawn to a man

who is older and has

a deeper insight on life.

In that respect,

we need to put Jeonghu on the flight.

And then, I'll naturally

fill that empty spot.

Why are you reacting so violently?

Chae Yeongsin.

Yes?

Shouldn't you be very busy right now?

Me?

What time is it?

It's 8...

Call home.

Tell them you can't go home for a few days.

What game is this punk playing now?

He purchased an Internet newspaper and the building

in which the newspaper is located.

He sold all of his shares and

the land in Yongin last week.

Those shares and real estate were

under Kim Munho by name only, but...

Is that okay?

He called me saying that

he can use it better than me, and that he'd use it.

But to sell those shares

without consulting Boss...

Mr. Oh.

Yes, Sir.

It has been about

20 years since Boss sent you to me, hasn't it?

It has been 22 years, Sir.

Does Boss still come first?

I'm hurt.

Am I late?

No, I came early.

Have a seat, Miss Kang.

It's been a while since we've eaten together like this.

You want to talk about Munho, don't you?

Does that make you uncomfortable?

Then buy me drinks instead of lunch.

I need a drink.

That's strange.

Are you okay?

I'm fine now. But it's strange.

I almost passed out in the office.

Thanks.

I'm okay now.

You said that you can't breathe if you are scared.

So why were you...

I don't know. Maybe it was building up till now.

Maybe I should get an exorcism or something.

These past few days have been crazy.

You know. Those gangster punks

waited for me in an alley in the middle of the night.

Then that Hwang Jeguk, that piece of trash...

I dreamed of him last night, so...

And when you came to work,

your crush was waiting for you.

No wonder you couldn't breathe.

Bongsu, don't be like that.

I was in a bad place last night and

I talked about random things.

You can't use that as a weakness...

About reporter Kim Munho,

you really don't know him personally?

I really think he's here because of you.

No way.

Why would he come for me?

Do you think so?

He is your crush after all.

Can't you get a v-v-vibe?

You've never had a crush, have you?

Why would you do something like that?

You have a crush because you have no choice.

Because there are no feelings being exchanged.

I turned on the news one day and he was on.

What is this? My heart began to race like crazy.

That face, that smile keeps popping into my head.

What is this?

But that's it.

Nothing is exchanged.

That's why it's a crush.

Then one day, you hear something from someone.

There is a messenger, and

he never does anything to hurt people.

There may be times when he hurts people...

They say he's always alone.

He's alone in the dark.

No one should recognize him.

Why?

Because he must be alone.

You can't even imagine how that feels, can you?

I think I can understand.

I was like that when I was little.

I wished nobody would look at me.

I wished nobody knew me

so that I could be alone.

Look at me again.

What? W-Why?

I'm saying useless things to you again.

But how did you know?

What? Know what?

How many pills I take.

Oh... W-Well...

Don't most medications require t-two pills?

It's always two pills at a time.

That's the answer. Two.

I was right. Two.

Her name is Chae Yeongsin.

I think she may be Munho's secret girl

or something like that.

I know Munho, and

I don't believe that.

Who is she?

I don't know,

and I don't want to know.

Why not?

In case she's young and pretty.

I still haven't recovered from

being dumped by your brother.

I feel bad about that too.

I was looking forward to calling you my sister-in-law.

I mean it.

As someone who almost became your sister-in-law,

may I ask you something?

Anything.

Do you know Munho's first love?

He said the reason for

resigning and going to

a small unknown Internet newspaper is

to repay a debt to his first love.

He said "a debt"?

He said it's weighing on his heart.

So you don't know about it either.

We don't share our deep, dark secrets.

Then I have nowhere else to investigate.

It's a dead end.

I'd rather drink then.

Call Bae Sangsu and get him to find out

everything about Chae Yeongsin. Now.

Is there anything in particular?

They said the grave was empty.

Weren't you the one who put Jian in

that casket?

Find out if Chae Yeongsin was adopted.

Adopted?

Yes, adopted.

If she was, find out when and how.

And whether or not she knows about it.

I manage the website,

artwork, editing and marketing.

Before I started here...

Then create a video for Someday homepage.

Those are examples of some for you to reference.

Have it done by tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Tomorrow... Tomorrow?

Excuse me, but you can't just assign projects like...

Go to the procurement agency.

Call that number and give them my name.

They'll tell you what you need to find and where.

- And you... / - I'm Noh Seonjae!

Get the documents from the list. The goal is simple.

Find a connection between Hwang Jeguk and Kim Uichan.

- Yes, Sir! / - Move! Move!

Excuse me. You know, we have articles that

we publish daily and weekly.

We have some pending stories too.

If you use up all of our manpower, how are we...

You mean collecting material each production company

sends you to cut-and-paste online?

Chief, you and I can do that later.

Let's let them go investigate.

You seem to have the wrong idea...

Kim Uichan told reporters yesterday that

he can't drink, and has never been to a gentleman club.

He is dumbfounded at the claim.

This is a list of high-end clubs in the neighborhood

where Hwang Jeguk frequents.

Check each and every one.

Find out which one Hwang Jeguk goes to.

You look like you'd run well.

Do you want to be a reporter in a front line?

I...

- If not, Yeongsin... / - Yes.

Check every club on that list.

Meet the women who work there as well as

- the head hostess, the drivers... / - I'll do it.

I'll work hard.

Then you come with me.

Reporter Kim.

- Munho. / - Excuse me?

Call me Munho.

Munho.

He's Park Bongsu, and he's completely new to this.

We can't send him alone.

I'll go first and set things up

- and then have him... / - Come with me.

He's really new.

Bongsu,

how much can I, I mean,

should I put up with?

I have my authority and...

I really...

You can't send him.

I'm off.

Please give me your number.

I'll need a number to call in case of an emergency.

Your number is 010...

No, please just input it for me. Your number.

Thank you.

This way.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

I just texted you.

This is my mobile business card.

I got it yesterday. It's the newest model.

Okay then.

This way.

Oops. This is the way out.

Good luck.

I'll do my best.

Park Bongsu...

I need to find out what Kim Munho and

his brother are trying to pull.

Hello, Healer?

I planted a bug in Kim Munho's cell phone.

Look through his phone and

link it with mine.

It isn't too late.

If you get in a cab and head to the airport...

Why are you making me repeat myself?

I'll say it one more time.

Tell Master.

I'll wait only until sunset.

If he doesn't show up by then,

I'll never call him "Master" again.

One is a grown mutt and the other a puppy.

To think I've been partners for over 10 years with...

What are you planning to do?

You're going to do what Kim Munho told you to?

I am.

Why?

I have nothing to do until sunset anyway.

So you'll visit clubs and investigate the story?

We don't do amateurish things like that.

You better not ask me to check all the security

camera footage of the area.

- Would you? / - For free?

- Have I lost my mind? / - Exactly.

Tell Master that

the sun sets early nowadays.

What?

Well...

Why are we going there again?

Why are you changing into

your work outfit in broad daylight?

I'm just curious.

You never give me an answer.

I feel sick, that's why.

Ever since I went to that house, I've felt queasy.

I feel gassy too.

Do you have indigestion?

Do you want me to stop by a pharmacy?

You need medicine.

That's why I'm going, so that I can feel better.

I'll take care of other business while I'm there too.

What are you talking about?

It's like you're speaking in code.

I just looked through Kim Munho's phone and

there are records of him requesting

Chae Yeongsin's DNA sample,

information about her life and her dreams,

and records of his transferring us money.

You're right, our client was Kim Munho.

But there is something I didn't tell you.

What?

Actually, he sent us a new job request last night.

Why didn't you tell me?

Did you not hear me this morning?

Didn't I say Healer was closing shop for a few days?

Closing shop?

Look ahead.

So what is the new job request?

"Keep Chae Yeongsin safe."

Keep what?

He said to be especially wary of Kim Munsik and

Bae Sangsu's gang, who he thinks is working for Munsik.

Kim Munsik? That's his brother.

What is this

suspicious and rotten smell coming from this family?

What?

- Do you know her? / - Of course. It's Oriana Palazzi.

She is my number one role model.

- Let's begin. / - Pardon?

You say she's your role model.

You know Palazzi is the Queen of Interviews, right?

- Freaking obvious... / - Speak clearly and with class.

Yes, of course, I know it.

Have you ever conducted an interview?

I'm hurt.

I'm a veteran reporter here at Someday News.

I've interviewed the famous celebrities...

Chasing them like paparazzi?

Crawling around in someone's garage?

And isn't Someday News

a B-class paper that's isn't even invited to parties

that celebrities invite media companies to?

What do you do then?

Wait outside of the restaurant, and

if you make eye contact with a celebrity as they leave,

that's an exclusive, is that it?

What? Is that bad?

- Reporter Kim... / - Call me Munho.

You think reporters who don't cover political

and economic sections like you are a joke?

I'm sorry, but the people of Korea like

entertainment news more than politics or economics.

Ask the people on the street

what section of the news they read first.

Politics? No, it's entertainment.

How many people do you think know the names of

politicians?

But most of them know a good amount of

singers and lead actors in TV dramas, things like that.

So, I gather information the people want

even if it means crawling around

- garages... / - This Sunday...

I'm not done. So, I'll crawl around...

Kim Uichan will announce his candidacy for mayor.

I'm thinking of sending you to the press conference.

You must grab an opportunity to

ask Kim Uichan directly about Hwang Jeguk

and Joo Yeonhui

in front of countless cameras and microphones.

But it isn't as easy as it sounds.

I am going to teach you the skills.

Are you up for it?

I'll do it.

Hwang Jeguk is putting together a huge legal team.

I'm not an expert in this field and

we don't have sufficient evidence either.

So we will need help.

I'm the witness.

I know what happened and how.

What more evidence do we need?

I'm willing to tell everything

that I wish I could keep a secret until the day I die.

Yeonhui.

Tell them to search Hwang Jeguk's house.

The evidence is there.

He recorded everything

he made us do. So...

If we want to search his home and seize evidence,

we need probable cause.

That means we need evidence.

What kind of law is that?

That is how the law is.

The haves know and evade it.

The have-nots don't know, and get caught in it.

Chisu.

I'm in the middle of legal work.

Yeongsin asked us

to look after Yeonhui.

I'm looking after her now.

Come on, you're not enough.

You couldn't even keep the reporters away.

That's why these despicable articles about her

are popping up everywhere.

What?

So I called some of the boys.

- How have you been? / - Good.

Your head is so shiny.

Come here.

I was going to call just a couple of them

But word got out and...

They said they need to repay their debt to you

and rushed over.

Guys, come and greet Mr. Chae.

- Hello, Sir! / Hello, Sir!

What on earth?

- Hey! / Hey!

I think so.

It's Healer, the one who handcuffed you...

Why is the door open?

What on earth?

Who are you?

How did you get in?

I studied a little before coming.

You collect antiques, right?

Mr. Hwang.

You bought this

last September for 1.5 million dollars, right?

Hey! Is anyone outside...

Keep quiet or I'll destroy it.

Why you psycho...

Like this.

Why you psycho! How dare you...

You like hitting people, don't you?

But

you haven't been hit much, have you?

I wanted to end it quietly, but you know...

Stop! Please, stop!

Are you okay, Sir?

Sir!

Please spare me!

Here. Here.

I have much more cash than this.

I have cash in my room too.

My watch. My watch. Take this.

It's expensive.

Are you trying to make me into a petty thief?

Why you...

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Mommy!

Tell me, what do you need?

I'll give you anything!

Right. I have something to ask you.

Yes?

You have a favorite club, right?

Excuse me?

The name of the club.

Lunar Moon.

- Lunar Moon? / - Yes.

- Thanks. / - Yes, Sir.

And

don't hit people ever again.

It hurts, right?

Yes, Sir.

Don't hit women especially.

What a disgrace. Why would a man hit a woman?

I won't, Sir.

Where are the videos?

Excuse me? What...

The videos of the women. Your business capital.

Thanks.

Get a better safe.

This doesn't even take 30 seconds.

Oh my gosh! Mommy!

Sir!

Move out of the way!

What were you doing?

Look at me!

What is this? In my own house?

Darn it!

I feel better now.

Have a seat.

I heard from Chief Kang Minjae

that you are very close to Munho.

Close... Yes, very close.

You know Munho is my brother, right?

Yes, of course.

Yes, I know.

You must know he resigned.

I've heard.

So, I have a favor to ask.

Yes, anything.

This is going to be a difficult one.

I can guess.

Go to Munho and convince him to come back.

- Then... / - Please resign.

- Excuse me? / - Resign from the station and

go to my brother, Munho.

If it's you, he'll take you in.

That's what Chief Kang said.

But...

Munho went to an Internet newspaper.

You want me to leave TV news and go...

Yes.

So you want me to spy on him or something?

That's exactly it.

But Sir, I...

Connect me to the head of human resources.

Yes.

It won't be for long.

Stay beside Munho for just a few months.

Transferring your call.

Yes, Sir.

I'm going to send someone to you named Lee Jongsu.

Prepare an employment contract for

the managing editor position.

I promised him I'll double his salary,

so please take care of it.

We will now begin a real life interview.

The subject is me.

You want me to interview you? Now?

I know you have many questions.

For example, why is Kim Munho here?

That's right. Why are you here?

Are you stupid? Would I answer if you ask like that?

I'm sorry, but we have a lot to talk about,

so if you'd leave us...

Moron.

You have to be able to do interviews with bombs flying.

He says to continue.

- Okay. / - Okay.

Excuse me, Reporter Kim.

Actually, I have an idea.

Things weren't so great for you at your work, right?

You kept doing reports that violated company policy...

Stop acting like you know.

If you act like you know a lot,

my instinct is to get defensive.

How much could I know?

But you know, it's very strange.

Sure, I could imagine your quitting the job

but this is so strange.

What are you asking?

The question must be clear to get a clear answer.

So why did you come here?

- What was that? / - What?

Would you answer if someone asked like that?

Do reporters have no manners whatsoever?

Please.

If you feel uncomfortable telling me everything,

if you'd give me a hint...

A reporter who begs is detestable.

Forget it.

What? A veteran reporter?

Do you even know what "veteran" is?

- Throw your shoe or something. / - Pardon?

You need to grab my attention.

That's the only way to continue the interview.

So take off your shoe and throw it at me or something.

Uncle Munho. Uncle.

This is broken.

It's broken. You have to fix it.

I have an exam tomorrow.

Give me a break.

I'm going to hate you.

Go right ahead.

I'm really going to hate you.

- What was that? / - I don't know.

You little peanut.

No, I'm not. I'm bigger.

I'm going to catch you and eat you up.

Get over here, Jian.

I'm going to eat you.

I got you.

I'm sorry we're home so late, Munho.

If I fail my exam, it's your fault.

Hey, don't say that to Munsik.

I heard he doesn't like you to babysit Jian.

Oh Jian. Look at the time. Why aren't you in bed?

Why were you bothering Uncle Munho?

Do you want to sleep with daddy?

No, I'm going to sleep with Uncle.

Uncle said he'd tuck me in.

Uncle Munho needs to go home.

Uncle.

You little peanut.

No, I'm not. I'm bigger.

It's done.

Thank you.

Here are some interview samples for you to look over.

Thank you.

He didn't touch the cash in the safe

and took only the external hard drive.

What was in the external hard drive?

They are videos of Hwang Jeguk's girls

servicing the clients

from the club scenes to the hotel scenes.

He claims it was to keep the girls under control.

He probably meant to use it to blackmail his clients.

So, is Kim Uichan among them?

He said Assemblyman Kim Uichan usually met

Joo Yeonhui at her apartment.

How much was caught on camera?

The camera was only in the living room.

All they captured was their drinking together.

I know Kim Uichan.

He has very dirty habits.

Those trees won't last the winter with that.

Rice straws won't be enough.

What if we attach some sap to it?

Yes, I'll do that.

You may freeze before the trees.

It's cold. Just take it easy.

Why are you back so early?

What? You sound displeased.

What did you do today?

There is a Chilean Wine Expo.

So I did some research online to order some.

And I read half of the book you gave me.

And?

Look in the direction I look.

What are you looking at?

The sun will set soon that way.

The sky has gone crazy lately.

The colors of the sunset are so pretty.

When will the sun set?

You are so impatient.

You will never change, will you?

I like it right now.

I wish time would stop right now.

Don't you feel the same, Munsik?

Look at all of us.

- Hey! / - Hit. Hit.

Okay, good.

Right! If I go slowly, you won't learn.

- Let go! / - Good! Good!

I don't.

Why not?

Everything is unclear.

Nothing is for sure.

Continue living like this?

No thanks.

But don't you have the most stable future among us?

You'll take over the junkyard.

Right? President Kim.

Owning a junkyard isn't enough for you, is it?

You're going to become a reporter

just like Gilhan.

I heard you're applying to the same newspaper.

Yes.

Junseok as well.

You want to become a reporter too?

No way.

He's very simple.

It's wherever the spot next to you is.

Come on, you punk. Just ask her.

Tell her you like her.

And ask how she feels.

That way, you can start something or get over.

I think you'll be rejected 100 percent, but so what?

You'll drink all night long

and shake it off, and go back to being friends.

Take care of it quickly.

Thoughts like that are like worms.

They'll eat up our friendship if you keep doing this.

Wow, look at the sunset.

The sky is starting to change its color.

Wait.

You're still here, aren't you?

You need to confirm that I take this.

So you're still here, aren't you?

You're watching me, right?

Let's talk.

I won't look.

See? I'm covering my eyes.

I can't see a thing.

So please, talk to me.

I have something to ask you.

So,

if you're Healer, please answer me.

I won't keep you long.

I'll just ask with my eyes covered like this.

What do you want to ask me?

Are you really Healer?

Yes, I am.

You saved me in that alley last time, right?

When I was being dragged away by those thugs,

you showed up and saved me.

And gave me my medicine,

and held me, right?

You're also the one

who took my bag and

clipped my nail in the bathroom,

right?

And today, you gave me this

as a gift.

But why are you doing this?

This is just my guess and

my imagination may be running wild...

I tend to do that, so I'll just throw it out there.

Did you take my nail clipping

to run a DNA test on me?

And you're watching over me ever since that, right?

That's how you were able to show up and

save me from those thugs that night.

But why?

Are you...

my real father?

Or my brother?

That DNA test was

to test mine against a relative, wasn't it?

Why else would you...

Who are you?

Who am I?

I told you.

Excuse me?

Not to be stupid and follow anyone.

Be careful of people who come close to you

and are nice to you.

What do you mean?

Why?

Excuse me.

Are you still there?

Did you leave?

The sunset is so nice.

The fading sunset means...

The sun is almost fully set.

As in Jeonghu gets completely mad at you soon,

and will become a calf freed from its pen.

It's been a while, Detective Jo.

How was the South Pacific?

It was blue and hot.

I see you were worried about your apprentice after all.

My apprentice probably went to his house by now, right?

I'm sure he did.

Do you believe in destiny?

I believe in my kimbap roller more than in destiny.

It works really well.

It's easy to use.

It was around this time in 1981

when I was locked up.

You were famous.

I heard they beat you half to death asking for names.

But the detectives beating you got sick of you and

gave up, saying you were impossible.

I believed that as long as

I kept my mouth shut,

the other four would live happily.

That's what I thought.

But 11 years later, when you got out,

two of the four friends were dead

and one was a paraplegic.

Just one was extremely successful.

You said it was suspicious. Why didn't you investigate?

Investigate? What? For the truth?

And if I found out the truth,

would that make me happy?

"Happy."

Why do words like that make my insides twist?

"I hope you'll be happy."

"I hope you become rich."

What a load of crock.

That's why "truth" and "crock" have similar nuances.

That's why I decided to bury it.

- Detective Jo. / - What?

Even a crock-like truth must have a destiny.

That's why it draws people in.

That's why Jeonghu is being dragged along too.

The truth doesn't necessarily end in happiness.

It may be hell.

But you have no choice. It's destiny.

Who are you?

Who am I?

They say he's always alone.

He's alone in the dark.

I think I can understand.

I wished nobody would look at me.

I wished nobody knew me.

That camera is malfunctioning.

It will continue to record an empty room.

It will get noisy if you call for people.

Then your wife will wake up.

Are you...

the man they call "Healer"?

Bingo.

Have a seat.

Turn your chair toward the screens.

You are the one who hired me

to get that video file from

Ko Seongcheol, correct?

And you are also the one

who murdered Ko Seongcheol

and framed me for it.

I don't know what you are talking about.

A video worth killing a person over.

It's impressive.

My hacking skills are pretty extraordinary.

I can easily slip in a video like this into

any TV station's 9 o'clock news.

So that anyone and everyone

can watch it live, nationwide.

I heard that the messenger Healer is

highly reliable.

And he would never steal the client's possession or

keep a copy like this or anything like that.

That was true until I was framed for murder.

If you need money, just tell me how much.

Can't you think outside box?

Everyone says the same thing.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"How much do you want?"

I'm so sick of it.

What do you want?

The real murderer.

Hand over the real murderer to the police in three days

and that video will never see the light of day.

You expect me to believe you?

As you said, I am a businessman

who lives off on my reputation.

I can't have word getting out that

I stole a client's possession like this.

I'll give you three days.

Are you the one who

broke into Hwang Jeguk's safe?

That's confidential.

My apologies.

That security button is broken.

You'll have to get it fixed.

Junseok.

You're Junseok, right?

Right?

What warning?

Don't personally contact Chae Yeongsin again.

Where did you get it?

Do you know of night messengers?

Junseok had a son, didn't he?

Jeonghu. Seo Jeonghu.

You've met him?

You saw Healer's face?

May I ask what you hired him to do?

That is everything on Chae Yeongsin.

An informant came forward. Awesome.

Hello? Is anyone out there?
