According to this post, Jong-un Kim of North Korea used to be a woman.
I'm getting married this summer.
Are you, Jong-tae?
Yes... No.
Who the hell created a day like this?
-Ms. Yook. -Ask Mr. Kim when he comes.
-Do your work in the meantime. -Okay.
April Fools' Day.
You prank people with a little trick or joke on this day.
Occasionally, famous foreign medias would deliver fake news reports
on April Fools' day to trick people.
Hey.
I saw your follow-up report. The editing was good.
-Was it? -The ninth floor is happy with it.
You're finally understanding me.
Keep up the good work.
Argon will see good times again.
-Aren't you getting in? -I'm going down.
Argon lied too.
The follow-up report on Midtown
conformed to the guidelines given from the top down.
It disappointed some people.
It also frustrated and surprised others.
But I know
that Argon's lie was a lie.
It was a lie to reveal a bigger truth.
Hello.
Are you here to meet Mr. Baek-jin Kim?
-Did Gwang-il Sung come? -Yes.
Is it an April Fools' joke?
Unfortunately, it's official. The security office called.
That obsessive jerk! He just won't leave me alone.
I can't go out for lunch because of him.
If he were a reporter, he would've been so good, right?
-How long did he stay last time? -Thirty-two hours and a half.
Gosh, how long will he stay this time?
By the way,
who is receiving our guest?
YEON-HWA LEE
Mr. Kim is out now.
What is it that you want to inform us?
Reporters are a bunch of lying bastards.
I don't need a rookie. Get Baek-jin Kim here now.
If you tell me, I'll give him your message.
Get him here right now!
-Baek-jin Kim! -Stop calling me. It's disturbing.
Hey! Gwang-il Sung!
-Wait, he's coming. -I'm coming.
-What? -Hey!
Drop the knife! Come on!
-Drop the knife! -Calm down!
-No! Drop the knife! -Cheol!
Step aside!
Gwang-il, calm down.
You said he is out.
-Drop the knife. -He was hiding like a rat.
If you cause trouble here and go to jail,
you'll receive additional punishment. Don't do this.
-Were you not going to see me anymore? -You know why I'm like this.
I believed in you.
I believed...
that at least you would listen to me!
Okay. Take it easy.
Drop your knife and let her go.
Then, you can talk to me.
You only listen to people with money and power.
You don't give a shit about what I have to say.
The person you exposed is a public prosecutor of Korea.
Do you think people will believe you without proof?
What do you think your wife would say if she knew about this?
Hey, are you okay? You didn't get hurt, right?
Yeon-hwa Lee!
You remember my name.
What the hell are you talking about?
-Let me see. -Watch out!
You fucker!
Did you get hurt? Did you?
-Yes. -Yes? Did you?
No, I think I'm okay.
Did you or did you not get hurt?
Baek-jin Kim!
What is this? You're bleeding.
Really?
It is blood.
Gosh! Yeon-hwa, wake up!
EPISODE 3
Thankfully, it was just a graze.
Keep the wound away from water for a while.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Usually, men would throw themselves
in front of women when someone attacks with a knife.
She's a modern woman.
Why did you send a woman alone to that thug?
-We have a lot of men here. -That's not true.
I'm sure I told Min-ho
to deal with him by himself because he is very dangerous.
Seung-yong said he'd go instead of me.
Seung-yong Oh!
-I told Nam-gyu that I couldn't go. -Jong-tae, you volunteered to go.
-Did I? -That's enough.
Why were you waiting until he put a knife to your throat?
You don't know anything since you haven't been investigating on-site.
He brought some apples, so I was not on my guard.
My dad said it's not good to visit someone empty-handed.
He always brings fruits.
He just reminded me of my dad.
You thought of your dad in such an emergent situation.
You're pretty imaginative, aren't you?
Hello, this is Argon.
Yes, I see.
It's...
It's the security office.
The police are here to take a statement from the victim.
My goodness, we can never have a peaceful day.
As soon as the newsroom gets peaceful, a thug shows up.
How dare he wield a knife at a reporter!
He has to be put behind bars to get back to his senses.
-I'll get going. -Okay.
I'm going with you. I need to make the statement.
As you wish.
Sir.
I want to know why he comes here so often.
Could you tell me about it?
He informed us five years ago for the first time.
Director Yoo was working with Argon at that time, and he showed me a letter.
Why? What's up?
Here.
What is it?
Post office box? Prison?
It's like a courtroom drama. You like that kind of stuff, right?
I read many letters from post office boxes and they were all crap.
Letters from prison are the same too.
It also has the same plot. But its details are interesting.
Gwang-il Sung, 31 years old.
He's a violent criminal who's been in and out of jail.
Now, he's in for aggravated assault.
According to him,
his prosecutor summoned his wife and sexually harassed her.
When he protested, he was sent to prison.
Prosecutor Heo from Suwon District Prosecutors' Office.
He passed the bar examination while he was still in college.
He's a blue chip in the field.
He has money and power.
He sure could send a thug to prison if he wanted.
But why would this man seduce a married woman?
-She's a criminal's wife. -Right.
That's what I thought at first.
Ta-da!
-She's a beauty. -Now you're getting convinced.
-Is this the man in question? -Yes.
Her husband must have put a tail on them.
This is quite a drama.
A low-life thug and a man of power.
And a very beautiful woman.
-I'll see you tomorrow. Bye. -Bye.
-See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Gwang-il Sung
To the reporters, please hear my story.
While the prosecutor was investigating your husband's case,
did he make any inappropriate comments
or sexually harass you?
Did he threaten you
to harm your husband if you didn't listen to him?
Did he call you in private
and force you to have sex with him?
Mr. Kim.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for asking you these uncomfortable questions.
But you didn't do anything wrong.
The prosecutor behaved improperly. He's the one who did wrong.
My husband is sick.
He's suffering from paranoia.
Prosecutor Heo
didn't do anything inappropriate to me.
Did you ever meet Prosecutor Heo alone
-outside the prosecutors' office? -No.
Then,
what is this?
I contacted him
and met him once.
-You did? -I was so grateful for his help
that I just expressed my thanks to him.
The wife denied everything her husband said.
And their divorce had already been filed in court.
Things didn't add up perfectly.
So I kept investigating.
I inquired about his reputation among prosecutors.
Although he was on his high horse
and didn't get along well with his colleagues,
he had been recognized as a competent prosecutor.
-Thank you. -Not at all.
There used to be a rumor that he was involved with many women.
But he was single at that time.
I couldn't find anything fishy about him.
Wow, this person must be a big fan of yours.
What is it?
Prosecutor Heo demanded the maximum penalty for Gwang-il Sung.
But when you think of what he did to the prosecutor,
it is understandable.
SEOUL-GUNSAN
Toward the end of our investigation,
Gwang-il Sung was released from prison.
FIVE YEARS AGO
And his visits to our station began.
Visiting Baek-jin Kim
Every single day of the year is April Fools' Day for reporters.
Every informer lies to you.
You should be careful with those clingy ones.
The clingy ones?
They strongly believe that they are victims
and desperately cling to you whenever they have a chance.
They exaggerate their suffering and get carried away by emotions.
Their memories are not straight.
Did Gwang-il Sung lie to you too?
When am I going to be on television?
Justice is still alive in Korea, I see.
I know it now.
We faithfully investigated the matter that you informed us about.
Thank you.
But...
-you didn't tell us everything. -What?
-What is it? -You assaulted your wife, didn't you?
Assaulted my wife?
I've never hit her or used any violence on her.
I see.
In July 2009, it was reported that you wielded a knife at your wife.
In August the same year, it was reported that you made a scene at her workplace.
-That was... -Do you think we are idiots, asshole?
I saw my wife and that man together.
So I flipped out.
I never really hurt my wife or anything like that.
I swear. Believe me.
Why didn't you say you were a drug addict?
What are you...
What does it have to do with this?
Do you think the viewers would believe
what a drug addict says?
Isn't it all just some hallucination you had while you were high?
I used to be a drug addict, but I'm not anymore.
Since I got married to her,
I haven't done drugs. I promised her I wouldn't.
I hope you are clean too. I mean it!
I've never seen a drug addict who kept his word.
Sir.
I only have you.
I talked to the police, the Blue House, and the Public Prosecutor General.
They all ignored me. They don't listen to me no matter what.
Yes, I'm a drug addict and a worthless thug.
But I'm telling the truth.
You can get the truth only through facts.
Your words have resentment,
but no facts.
Our investigation ended like that.
But ever since then,
he has visited us and made a scene regularly.
So he's become the company's regular guest.
He is no longer our guest from today.
-He is the attacker. -Excuse me.
Where is he?
Are you okay?
I'm so sorry.
-Did you get injured badly? -Asshole!
You almost killed a person today.
Mr. Kim.
I wanted to trust you.
I wanted to believe that even scumbags like you could be truthful.
But now, I know for sure
that you are a liar.
The one who harassed your wife is not the prosecutor, but you!
Please forgive me.
Forgive me.
I'm tired of your lies.
Let's not see each other again.
-Take him. -Hold on!
-Let me ask him... -Stay still.
-I... -Take him away.
I didn't lie.
I didn't.
Ms. Yook.
Do you have some time next week?
I have a killer item. Let's work on it together.
Do it with Jin-hee.
She doesn't write as well as you. I need you.
I won't be here next month.
Let's do it together. You can retire after this.
It's about teenagers in organ trafficking gangs.
I really can't.
I'm not taking any more items.
It's not fair. You took Mr. Shin's items.
I'm sorry.
But I can't do anything about it.
Besides, I'm not taking any more of his items.
I'll put it here. Please have a look at it.
You'll like it.
Read it, okay?
You surprised me.
I'm kind of sexy.
-Look at him. -What's he doing?
I can't believe it.
Hey, mister! You shouldn't be lying here.
Do I look homeless?
Homeless? What's this all about?
Reporter Jong-tae Heo of Argon investigates the world of the homeless.
Going undercover this time?
-Yes, it's like that. -It's good.
How long will you do this?
I guess I'll do it for about a month.
-Come on. -Ridiculous! What are you talking about?
Get up. What shall we do with you?
Don't I look believable?
You know what?
You are not really dirty, just pretending to be dirty.
You know the smell from the homeless? You can smell it even from a distance.
-That unforgettable stench. -I guess...
Jong-tae, do you really have to do this?
Come on, Jong-tae. Look.
Just let's pour some soju over you and forget about it, okay?
Mr. Shin.
Do you know when my item was last aired?
I'm sorry, I can't remember.
Excuse me.
-Excuse me. -Gosh!
I'm sorry, but please don't flush it.
What? Why?
I heard the toilet has some problem.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
It will be 124 weeks next week.
That's two years and five months. During that period,
my items have never been aired.
I can't call myself a reporter like this, so I have to do something.
Jong-tae, I don't feel right about this.
-Please move. -Jong-tae!
-Come on! -You said
that a reporter should use their feet.
I'm not even aiming for some great report.
I don't even need high ratings.
-I just want my item to be on air. -Gosh.
All right.
Come on. Don't shake it out.
It's not bad.
Gosh, wear it after it gets dry. Please!
My goodness.
Gosh.
Why did I use...
I should've used my jacket.
To Mr. Kim Aren't you coming?
Miss, are you alone?
Gosh!
Please sit somewhere else.
I'm meeting someone today.
Do you have a date?
Please don't take interest in my private life.
-Baek-jin is not coming. -Excuse me?
He sent me on his behalf.
I can't believe you guys.
Please bring us a bottle of wine.
Yes.
Since when do you drink wine?
-It doesn't even suit you. -You can drink as much as you want.
It's Baek-jin's treat.
You can drink it all.
You're quitting your job, right?
-Yes. -Who says you can?
I say I can.
You can never quit your job.
Why?
It's because you are doomed to be a writer for a news program.
Wine!
Please help me.
If you help me, you're a nice person.
If you don't, you're a bad person.
Hey.
What are you looking at?
-Go away! -Don't be scared.
This place doesn't belong to anybody.
Don't mind him and just squeeze in there.
It's okay.
-Thank you, sir. -I'm not a goddamn sir.
Take this.
Let him in.
May I join you for a while?
Gosh.
What is it?
I brought some soju.
-Soju? -Yes.
How did a young man like you end up like this?
-Where is the snack? -You should have brought snacks with this.
I have a question.
Why did you hire me ten years ago?
They were other candidates who were better qualified than me.
I hired you because you were pretty.
What kind of bullshit is that?
Do you know what today is?
Come on.
Gosh, you were so pretty then.
You were so young, too.
You were so excited about an item,
carrying some thick book under your arms.
The item wasn't really that good.
But the way you...
What about me?
I could feel that you really loved broadcast news.
I could feel that you'd become a great professional.
Yes, something like that.
I'm telling you this since it's April Fools' Day.
I also had a very good impression of you when I first saw you.
I see.
You emphasized that the actual scene provides the answers.
So you ran around setting fire to your shoes, and got the nickname Asphalt.
You don't pursue success.
You are a hopeless romantic.
I thought your divorce might've been due to your work.
And I felt bad for you.
You used to admire a senior reporter.
Where on earth has that young writer gone?
I don't know.
The whole of my youth was wasted in the station.
Stop letting yourself rot in the station,
and date someone.
-Okay? -Dating, my ass!
I don't even remember
the last time
I slept with a man.
What are you talking about? How long has it been?
Gosh.
I won't tell you.
-I watched... -What?
a documentary about nature yesterday.
Did you know?
Even seaweed
have sex.
Seaweed have sex too?
I see.
During the breeding season,
it spurts countless white bubbles
into the sea with force.
With the bubbles rising up, it looked quite spectacular.
Is seaweed green algae?
Isn't it brown algae?
Brown algae?
I can't believe I'm no better than brown algae.
Brown algae.
Look.
If you can't find anybody, you can take me and use me tonight.
It's okay to use me. Go ahead.
What?
You are an old divorcé.
Damn you.
You keep saying that I'm old.
Come on, you really don't know me.
I'm still spry. You know what I mean?
Gosh. I'm going to pee.
You aren't so bad.
Once isn't enough to know.
-Come here. -Bring it here.
That's our snack.
-Open it. -Let's eat.
Try it.
You are a fake, aren't you?
Me?
What's this smell? It's too mild. So is your appearance.
Real homeless people like us here
smell like rotten seafood soup.
Your smell sure has depth.
-I respect you. -Respect, my ass.
Hey.
You're going to go back, right?
When you go back, grant my wish.
Your wish?
Is this you?
Yes.
Why are you giving it to me?
Please find my wife and son.
It's my wish.
I don't know where they live, or whether they are alive or not.
I wish I could see them,
even just for once.
You look totally different in this photo.
When did you take this photo?
It was during the IMF crisis.
The IMF crisis happened in 1997,
so it must have been 20 years ago.
Hey, there! What are you doing?
Someone reported us again. Let's run!
Run! Quick!
-Hurry! -Run!
Run!
Wait.
Hello.
Yes.
Yes, he's our reporter.
Have you eaten?
A bottle of soju, please.
Soju?
I took pity on you and let you in.
Get out if you want to drink.
We won't drink.
He couldn't eat all day. Give him some slack.
How pathetic!
Your disguise seems to have worked.
Actually, it didn't work well.
Someone didn't buy it.
If you had contacted your dad,
the cops would've driven you home. Why did you call me?
I...
I'd rather be a junior reporter than a son of a politician.
You are my boss.
But compared to the worthless items that you tried to come up with,
this one was a good try.
Thank you.
It's not easy doing undercover reporting.
The more you put effort into it,
the better outcome you'll have.
So, don't give up already and follow it through.
Thank you. I'll do my best.
Let's eat.
-Slow down. -Okay.
That's not a sound of a human.
Unless you are a wild animal, you can't make that sound.
Anything is possible when you are young.
Let's just watch TV.
It's too loud. Turn down the volume.
I'm sorry.
What do you think about the guest that we had this afternoon?
If everything had been a lie,
could he have acted like that?
Find the truth in a lie,
and don't fall for a lie in the truth.
It sounds easy.
But it's not easy when you're actually faced with it.
Why do you think people lie?
Now that you mention it, April Fools' Day is over.
Yes. It is.
You look nice.
-Go back in. -Drive safely.
Okay.
Gosh, they are such a happy couple, right?
-Don't you think? -Yes, they look happy.
How can they get along so well?
I actually have a question for you.
-Hey. -You're here early.
Did you change your driver? It looks expensive.
Let yourself warm up.
Some reporters use investigative journalism for other purposes.
They approach those in authority and tip them off
about the news on their corruption, earning their favor.
Gosh, it's been a while.
At the beach Giving snacks to the seagulls
A beach with a lighthouse!
Maybe something's wrong with me.
Why does it feel so insincere?
Aren't you going home, sir?
What are you still doing?
-Why are you looking at that? -It's nothing.
-How are things going? -What?
I secured a source of information on the Midtown case.
But there isn't anything yet. I'm keeping an eye on it.
-You can quit if you can't handle it. -No, sir.
It's the first assignment you gave me.
Don't act rashly like when you got stabbed.
-I'm leaving. -Alright.
Sir.
By the way, why do we have to keep the Midtown case to ourselves?
Do you let the whole world know when you go hunting?
To strike the creature's vital point, lower your body quietly.
If you try to attack unprepared, you might not even see its head,
and it could just cut its tail and run away.
Yes, sir. I'll bear that in mind.
Goodness.
Go home safely, sir.
The head and the tail.
Okay.
Sweetheart.
Thank you so much.
Here.
Where's your tool?
Good. Let's dig in.
-Wow. -Let's eat!
Eat.
Alright.
How is it?
CLOTHING BIN
It's a treasure box, a wardrobe.
Ta-da! Come on.
Can we take them?
Sure, they are mine. Choose one.
You should wear this one.
I like it.
Hey.
Look, it's time to wake up.
Excuse me, can you help me?
-Sir, please help me for a second. -Move.
Please help me.
Call 911 for me, please.
May I use your phone, please?
Please lend me your phone.
I'm asking for help!
I'm going to the editing room.
Okay, see you.
Cheol.
-I need to go. -Come in.
What on earth did you drink that cost as much as 630,000 won?
-That's all it cost? -What?
Did you go to some kind of hostess bar with her?
A team leader has to invest that much to secure a competent member.
I asked you to meet her because her face looked serious.
So did you convince her not to quit?
Yes, I begged her not to leave since we desperately need her.
We need her to hold up well.
I owe you this one.
-Thank you. -Yes.
Hye-ri.
It's about the special edition on politicians' lies.
I want to delve into the election pledges of each party.
We have too many cases for that.
Let's leave out the anchor's announcement
and show the speeches of the politicians.
Okay.
I got told off by Baek-jin
that we drank too much last night.
I see.
By any chance,
if you got offended,
I'm sorry.
About what?
About getting too drunk and kissing,
and what happened next.
There's no point in this.
Still, I'm relieved that yesterday was April Fools' Day.
Wasn't it a nice celebration for April Fools' Day?
I have many things to do, so please leave now.
-Are you mad at me? -No, why would I be?
You're not mad, right?
Right.
It's not like we have feelings for each other.
Seriously, we were so drunk yesterday.
Besides, it was April Fools' Day, right?
Yes.
All right.
You worry too much.
I'm busy, so please let me work.
Goodness, I'm way too old for this.
No anchor announcements. Focus on election pledges!
Hello, this is Argon.
With the election season ahead,
candidates are pouring out a number of election pledges.
Will the pledges ever be fulfilled?
We can't help but ask that question
since we saw too many politicians
betray their pledges in Korea.
Argon has delved into the pledges that haven't been fulfilled yet.
Start the clip.
After the next comment, skip the second item on the list.
-We'll do the phone interview next. -Yes, sir.
-Sir. -Hey.
Well...
Urgent news?
Is it about the phone interview?
What is it?
Cheol, just tell me what it is right now.
-Baek-jin. -Yes.
It's something serious, but let's focus on work for now.
We have 2 minutes and 30 seconds until the next comment. Just spit it out.
What is it?
Goodness.
We got a call from the police.
Gwang-il Sung tried to commit suicide in jail about an hour ago.
Is he dead?
He is unconscious in a critical condition.
He was sent to the hospital and is under medical attention.
He also left a suicide note to you.
-Read it. -We have only a minute left.
Read it later. Focus on work now.
I said read it. Now!
I'll read it.
"Baek-jin Kim was right.
It's me, not Prosecutor Heo, that harassed my wife.
It's my fault that I couldn't protect my wife.
I still can't forget the suffering that I saw in my wife's eyes.
But even a scumbag could be telling the truth.
It's true that Prosecutor Heo violated my wife.
The prosecutor threatened to punish me if she didn't listen to him.
I'll prove that this is true with my death."
Thirty seconds to go.
The phone interview is ready.
Yeon-hwa.
You've been looking into Prosecutor Heo for a few days, right?
-Yes. -Bring me everything
that you've found on him.
Yes, sir.
We'll connect to Professor Ki-yong Park, a political commentator, on the phone.
Professor Park?
Gwang-il Sung is still causing trouble for you.
Can't he have killed himself someplace other than in jail?
This could stop my promotion.
On the other hand, it's a good thing for you.
He won't be able to say anything anymore.
That's right.
Myung-ho.
Rumor has it that HBC reporters are investigating me these days.
I heard it's Argon.
Don't worry. It can't be aired without my approval.
By the way, you are not hiding anything
from me about what happened before, right?
Of course not.
I sure know you're clean.
Don't worry about things over here
and good luck with the inspection.
I'm counting on you.
Okay.
Don't worry. Bye.
Sir, it's me.
Hey, come in.
-Sir, are you busy? -Not really. What's up?
-Is Mr. Kim on leave? -Yes, he is.
Baek-jin Kim is on leave.
-This means something. -Why?
Last time he was on leave, he uncovered a scandal in the defense ministry.
So the vice minister had to resign. Isn't it something?
Wow.
-And? Do you have more questions? -No. Thank you.
Hello, this is Argon.
Mr. Kim.
I need your confirmation on my item about...
Yes. She's here.
Yes, sir.
Hey, you.
He wants you in the hideout now.
-Okay. -Hey.
He asked you to bring apples. You know what that means?
Yes, I do.
He must have been concerned about her getting knifed.
Any new updates?
Nothing much.
I'm spreading rumors that Baek-jin made him kill himself.
Good. Update me if anything happens.
-Yes, sir. -You can go now.
Thank you for covering up what happened last time.
-What? -Well...
I haven't seen you eat anything while working.
It's obvious. You haven't known me long.
Now that he is in a coma,
-should I blame myself and get drunk? -No, sir.
The worthless information you've collected is giving me a headache already.
By the way,
what do you think about Prosecutor Heo?
He has this dirty look
that makes him seem like a two-faced man.
-How about Hee-jung Kim? -She's beautiful...
and she's living an unfortunate life.
Is that all you can come up with?
I'm sorry.
She didn't come to the hospital as expected.
They lived as a couple for quite some time.
Wouldn't you visit your ex if he was dying?
She might not visit him. Her husband did nothing for her.
It was Prosecutor Heo
who found her a job as a kindergarten teacher
and vouched for her.
I think that's strange.
They are too close.
So the key is in the hands of Gwang-il's wife.
Unless Hee-jung Kim testifies
that the prosecutor blackmailed her
into having sex with him by threatening to punish her husband,
Gwang-il's claim can't be proven.
So...
should we just convince her to change her mind?
Why? Do you have any ideas?
I was afraid you might think that I'm going overboard,
so I didn't show you this.
What is this?
This is to heal your scar.
-You. -Yes?
Do you know about women?
Pardon?
Wait, let's take his face over here.
Put that again over there.
I think I've memorized his face now.
That's enough. You have tons of his pictures already.
The more the better.
Someone might recognize him.
Hey, that's enough. Go take a shower.
Your smell is really killing me.
I think we can add 16 frames over here.
All right. Let's do our best.
I'm from HBC.
I want to ask you about Gwang-il Sung, who tried to commit suicide.
-May I have a minute of your time? -Move.
You are accused of sexually harassing Gwang-il Sung's wife. Is it true?
Did you sexually harass her?
I have nothing to say. Are you happy now, fucking reporters?
Please comment on this.
Prosecutor Heo, is it true?
Are you going somewhere?
Excuse me.
I have something to show you. It'll take only five minutes.
Your husband tried to reveal the truth by putting his life on the line.
Please give me a moment, just this once.
I won't bother you again.
Thankfully,
Gwang-il is alive.
He has not regained his consciousness yet.
Is that what you wanted to say?
Before,
I showed you these photos.
You said you met the prosecutor to discuss your husband's trial.
But why at these places?
These are dating places.
My husband hired a private detective to take those pictures.
As I told you before,
I asked the prosecutor to meet me.
And he suggested that I get some air
and took me there.
Yes.
That's what you said.
This is...
the social media of Prosecutor Heo's wife.
She is leading an enviable life.
Will you look at this?
At the beach
You know this place, right?
It's the beach in Taean with a lighthouse in the background.
And the walkway in front of the church.
Also,
the café at the beach
that is famous for its black tea.
Over five women went to the same places.
You might think
they are special places only for you and him.
But they all went to the same places
as if it was some kind of rule.
Ms. Hee-jung Kim.
You are not...
special to Prosecutor Heo.
The perfume as well.
CHURCH, CAFÉ
Now that I've met you, I know for sure
that Prosecutor Heo gave the same perfume to all the women as a present.
They are no different from you.
They are the wife,
sister, or relative of the victims.
He approached helpless women
and offered a reduced sentence.
That was his crime method.
Hee-jung.
You were one of them.
I'm sorry.
I'm...
I'm really sorry.
Your husband
spent five years trying to reveal the truth.
You could've helped him,
but you ignored him.
Thank you for letting me come with you today.
You had a streak of blind luck.
Should I call it your talent?
How did you know about the perfume?
I'm sorry.
Is it your habit to say sorry?
Let's go
and make a news report.
Yes?
Am I doing it with you?
We'll see.
A man barges into a broadcasting station and pulls a knife on a reporter.
He insists that a prosecutor sexually harassed his wife.
The prosecutor denies the accusation and pushes reporters away.
In the end, the man
that was put behind bars tries to commit suicide.
His wife finally learns about the true colors of the prosecutor.
She then starts crying.
What happened to them during the past five years?
Reporter Yeon-hwa Lee
looks into the unbelievable truth.
I'm standing here in front of a general hospital in Seoul.
A man is in a coma in this hospital.
This man with three criminal convictions
tried to commit suicide a few days ago.
I think you've taken the shortest time to debut in Argon.
Thank you.
Gosh, my life is so miserable.
It was worth getting knifed.
Look at how she looks on screen.
How can you be on television first instead of Nam-gyu?
Her pronunciation and posture
clearly shows lack of experience.
I can't believe it. You've beaten me...
Don't be bothered. Keep watching.
Let me go upstairs.
Hey, Prosecutor Heo.
What's up so early in the morning?
Yesterday's broadcast? I had no time to...
Oh. I'm sorry. I mean...
I apologize, Prosecutor Heo.
Baek-jin Kim!
Where is he?
-Director Yoo. -Baek-jin Kim!
Salute! How may I help you?
Salute, my ass! Where's Baek-jin?
You should know, you're his boss. He's taking a day off.
You didn't even report to me.
Do you think you can do whatever you want like this?
I agree. What the hell was he thinking?
He's driving me crazy.
That jackass.
You'll see what happens if you keep doing this.
Tell Baek-jin to come to me as soon as he's here.
-Yes. -Do your work right, jerk!
Do you want a cup of coffee?
Goddamn it!
Seriously, where has he gone to?
I told you he's on leave.
What? Yeon-hwa is not here, either.
Did she not come to work yet?
I'm so sorry.
It wasn't you that was a scumbag.
It was me.
I didn't hear you out.
But...
thanks to a reporter who believed in you,
I reported it, even if it's late.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I...
I feel so guilty toward my husband.
I didn't think about how much he was suffering.
I was so lonely and frustrated that I stood on the wrong side.
I'm sorry.
The homeless people talk about their glory days when they get drunk.
The interesting thing is that they all insist they were cheated.
One was cheated by his friend and lost his business.
One was cheated by his wife.
One's child turned out to be someone else's.
One was cheated by a sibling.
By subordinates, children,
women, television,
or the world.
They were cheated and their lives were ruined.
The man who had this spot died this morning.
The police came to take his body.
They complained that he was too heavy.
But he left us a truth that we shouldn't forget.
Even the man who slept on this spot
used to have a wife and child he loved.
The homeless on the street
are also our ordinary neighbors.
I'm dying to see the next episode.
You can really do it if you try!
It will win you the Reporter of the Year award.
I was really touched by that.
-Me too. -Jong-tae.
I think I did a good job.
-Come on. -You're praising yourself.
You must've gone through a lot.
Mr. Heo, did you watch Channel E?
I didn't.
It's a special edition.
The news is exactly the same as yours.
-Really? -Do you want to see it?
-What? -Tune in.
Unlike passersby quickening their steps to their workplaces and homes,
homeless people with nowhere to go
live on the streets.
The reporter went undercover
as a homeless man to watch the homeless
around Seoul and Euljiro Station.
People were living
even in this abandoned place.
I can't believe it.
It's been five or six years.
When I went to work...
I couldn't accept it.
Too bad.
Where were you working before you joined here?
I worked for Good Morning Live Show for six months.
Before that, I worked at the New Media Team for three months.
I mean before coming to HBC.
I worked for a weekly news magazine in Busan.
I'm using the ointment you gave me.
Thank you for that.
Why did you apply...
when we were on a strike?
I wanted to be a reporter.
I wanted to write news reports.
Right.
Excuse me.
Do you want to live in a world where Myung-ho is the News 9 anchor?
-Goodness. -Baek-jin is preparing a scoop.
It will be the only exclusive interview done in Korea.
Wow, really?
How could you steal an exclusive item that your juniors worked so hard for?
-It's ours. -It's HBC's. Don't make me say it again.
I was hoping you'd succeed me and rebuild the newsroom.
You're going to represent HBC.
-How dare you! -What are you doing?
We're in trouble.
You are such a coward.
Do this right.
Mr. Yoo, what the hell did you do?
Can't you stay?
I like Argon when it's led by you.
