(All the characters, organizations, places, and happenings...)
(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
Song Tae Joon changed his testimony.
There was someone behind him. I'm sure it's the law firm, Noah!
You all heard him, right? First, let's focus on Song Tae Joon.
Aeguk Newspaper's interview has been posted.
- Should I counteract right away? - Okay. Get it started.
It seems Aeguk Newspaper was the one...
that abetted Yoon Seon Woo to commit suicide.
We shall cover the case with a bigger one.
So let's settle that...
I will only trust you until this case is over.
All members of Aeguk Newspaper, we're here to arrest you.
Then the issue is what did they want to hide?
We'll find the answer at the scene.
What are you doing in another man's room?
What was that?
You're Kang Hee Joon, aren't you?
Where is that video?
The detective in charge told me to hand over the videos.
The detective in charge?
Can't you guess? I know exactly who it is.
Do you remember the case where Hong Chang Min,
the heir to Young Kwang Industries was charged as a murder suspect?
The prosecutor let him go for lack of evidence.
But the police claimed until the end...
that he's definitely the murderer.
The person who objected the most to the prosecutors...
was Lieutenant Jeon Chan Su.
A secret investigation was opened,
and Jeon Chan Su was charged as the hit-and-run suspect.
(Lieutenant Jeon hid CCTV footage of the murder scene!)
("Heir of Young Kwang Industrial Arrested on Suspicion of Murder")
(Prime figure, Park Eung Mo)
Chul Ho, I came this far.
(Journalist Han Chul Ho)
What on earth is there once I get past this?
(Episode 13)
Why did you call me here so early in the morning?
Did you find anything else?
What?
Did you find anything else...
other than the CCTV footage to prove his innocence?
I heard the report changed a few times.
That shows that it was a pressed investigation.
The size of the weapon doesn't match the wound,
and it's odd that they found a third person's bloodstain at the scene.
Then try looking for more physical evidence.
That'll be enough for you to get through the trial.
And let's deal with Lieutenant Jeon's case a bit more slowly.
What do you mean?
I'm saying we shouldn't rush into anything. We'll need more time.
Why would we need more time?
I already got a testimony saying that he hid the CCTV footage.
That's not the only thing that's important about this case.
We can't just end it with this guy. We have to raise the stakes.
There was a murder,
and there was a prosecutor who tried to cover that up.
Plus, you may not know this, but Lieutenant Jeon...
also had something to do with Park Eung Mo's case.
Do you really think a corrupt policeman and prosecutor...
are capable of planning everything on their own?
No, of course not.
We need to climb this beanstalk and see what's up there.
And Lieutenant Jeon...
needs to be our lever who will help us view the whole picture.
Wait. So you're telling me that...
we should set this case aside...
just so we can see the whole picture?
If we don't push ahead right now,
we won't be able to find the missing CCTV footage.
Everything he did wrong will also get buried with the case.
Did you come this far...
just so you can arrest Jeon Chan Su?
Is he the only reason why...
you put in so much effort until now?
All my colleagues are locked up in prison right now.
They're behind bars because of something they didn't even do.
I don't know about you, since you're just watching everything from afar.
But I don't have the time to think about anything else right now!
No.
If you keep being emotional like this,
you'll only end up polluting the truth.
Try looking at everything after taking a step back.
It's not our job to get involved in the case.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
I'm just going to deal with the situation as I wish.
Until when is he going to just sit back and act like a monk?
I'm going to ask you one more time.
Where's Han Mu Young?
I... I don't know.
Nothing's good will come out of hiding him.
Just tell me while I'm being nice.
What if one of them tell me first?
The one who cooperates will be able to get out of here.
I really don't know.
What do you expect me to do?
You're very loyal. I like your spirit.
But unfortunately, it's useless.
Sir, we just got a call about a tip.
Put me through.
Yes, hello?
- Are you Lieutenant Jeon? - Yes.
You said you had some information?
No.
I just called to complain.
You should catch bad guys if you're a detective.
You shouldn't go around threatening people.
Don't you agree?
Who are you?
This is upsetting.
How can you forget my voice already?
Are you...
Han Mu Young?
You must've suffered so much to continue your job as a detective...
even after killing someone.
You haven't forgot about Hong Chang Min already, have you?
I don't understand a single thing you're saying right now.
That's too bad.
But the problem is that I remember everything.
Let's stop beating around the bush and just meet each other.
This isn't even our first time bargaining with each other anyway.
What's your deal?
What do you want out of this?
I want you to release all my colleagues from Aeguk Newspaper.
I also want you to bring me the CCTV footage you got from...
Seo Chung Soo's studio.
If you don't, I'll do my best to have you locked up in prison.
You know that...
I have nothing more to lose, right?
I'll give you time until 9pm tonight.
Keep this in mind.
I won't be able to give you a second chance.
Sir, you have a visitor.
He doesn't have an appointment.
How did you know about this place?
I've been working as a detective for 20 years.
I know that you're the one who gives orders to everyone else.
I'd be a fool if I didn't know that.
So that journalist...
from Aeguk Newspaper, who hasn't gotten arrested yet,
is bothering you?
He's not an easy fellow.
He's the one who made Park Eung Mo's case so big.
If he keeps attacking me regarding the past,
I don't know for how long I'll be able to keep my mouth shut.
How interesting.
There are so many interesting people in this world.
Let me be honest.
It's not like I have a sense of duty regarding my job right now.
And I'm all ready to leave this country and live abroad.
If you give me the right amount of money and a few men,
I'll...
take care of him, and I'll leave this country afterwards.
I'm not sure.
How long do you think it took for me to find this place?
Then how long do you think it'll take for him to find this place?
I...
am not doing this...
for my own benefit.
I'm saying I'll keep my word until the end.
You should make a wise decision.
Don't be emotional. Think with your head.
Aren't you a professional at doing that kind of thing?
They could've told me beforehand that they already hired someone.
Why did they have to make me come all the way here?
Are you Ms. Choi Su Yeon?
Who are you?
His name is Kang Woo Soon, and he's a lawyer.
He's looking to hire someone.
He's competent and has a conscience.
He may not be able to pay you as much as Noah did,
but he's willing to pay incentives, so he'll treat you fairly.
But...
I already told Mr. Han Mu Young that it was all off the record.
I made it clear that I'm not going to testify in court.
Wait.
I'm not here to interrogate or investigate you.
I...
just want to check some things with you.
Have you ever seen...
any of these men while you were still at your previous workplace?
No.
He's Chief Prosecutor Im Ji Tae of Incheon Prosecutors' Office.
Are you sure you never heard them exchange phone calls?
No. Not that I know of.
Then...
what about this guy?
I'm sorry, but I don't think I've seen him before.
It may be because I wasn't in charge of important cases.
But...
I've seen him though.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I remember my boss being very nervous around him.
Yes, I remember clearly.
Hello.
Hi, welcome.
What's your name?
How can you not know her name yet? She's in the same team now.
My name is Gong Ji Won.
I see. It's nice to meet you.
I'm Oh Yoo Kyung. I look forward to working with you.
Gosh, that jerk, Sung Shik.
Suk Min, I'm not too fond of the idea of working face to face.
I'll take the corner seat.
Sure. Go ahead.
But Sung Shik, did you know?
I don't like you much either.
We need a competent journalist, but you are not one.
- What? - Go a bit more...
to the corner. Okay?
Whether you like it or not, I'm going to teach you.
Since you're here, I hope you will slug it out until the end.
Yes, I will definitely keep that in mind.
- Okay. - But what is this smell?
Do we have to clean the office?
Isn't it coming from you?
No, it's not.
So a journalist from Aeguk Newspaper is trying to uncover this case?
He's in his death throes.
I'm thinking of eliminating him through Jeon Chan Su.
It's too dangerous of a decision, I haven't decided yet.
You don't have to tell me the details.
What do you mean?
How many times do I need to tell you?
You make the decisions,
and we just set up the stage for the incident if needed.
Is that so?
Yes, it is.
Then let me ask you for a favor.
The journalist from Aeguk Newspaper will be eliminated tonight.
I'd like you to set up a reason why it had to happen that way.
Fine. The decision is yours anyway.
But bear this in mind.
If this goes south,
you have to explain yourself the reason of its failure.
You want our first article to be about Aeguk Newspaper?
I wrote an exclusive about them recently.
Besides, there are so many problems with that organization.
Suk Min, don't you know him too? His name is Han Mu Young.
- And? - He is...
He has some serious problems.
In fact, the gang that was backing him up found out he betrayed them.
The gang is waiting for their chance.
Really? That happened?
Yes.
But it sounds like you want this to be your individual article?
Why? Is there a problem?
Sung Shik, do you know the definition of a "team"?
Do you think we are here to support you, so you can print exclusives?
Don't be like that. If you have something prepared, share it.
Aren't you quiet because you don't have anything?
- Goodness. - Okay, fine.
Go ahead with your article.
I think it's a good scoop.
Aeguk Newspaper is in the center of the public's attention now.
We should start building trust too.
It's not that hard.
Are you serious? I'm really going to write this then.
When can you finish it by?
I can finish it by tonight.
Okay. This is the first article of our team.
It seems like it's going to be an easy job.
Great. Excellent. This isn't a bad vibe at all.
Let's continue with this.
Let's continue this way.
Sweet.
I like it. Great.
Have you solved your case?
I heard you were bombarded by chicken excrement.
Not yet.
The smell is no joke.
It's terrible.
I'm sure you've learned your lesson from this incident.
Yes, I realized I have to try until the end in order to catch them.
You're going to go after them and catch them yourself?
If I do my best, I'm sure I can catch a few chickens.
That's the world I dream of, sir.
A world where justice wins.
What is she talking about?
(Yang Chu Sung over flowers! You're awesome, Chu Sung!)
(Authorized Personnel Only)
Hey, Han Mu Young.
The police officers of Korea are here to escort you.
Hey, open up.
You have to open up for us to talk.
Lieutenant Jeon, did you really come here alone?
Hey, do you think I'm in elementary school?
Of course I came alone. Do you think I brought my mom with me?
If you say so, I'll open up.
What is this?
You're Han Mu Young.
We meet at last.
It's nice to meet you, you jerk.
Lieutenant Jeon, I thought we were going to play a fair game.
You're going to do this to me?
You're fooling yourself. A fair game, my foot.
I asked you to meet me before you die.
Today is the day my wish will come true. Don't you agree?
Thank you.
(Authorized Personnel Only)
Hey, welcome.
We haven't been introduced, have we?
But you know what? The territory of Youngbum Gang is cop-free zone.
Who gave you the permission...
to enter the heart of our territory?
I'm not a cop.
He's the only cop here.
Be quiet.
He said he's from Youngbum Gang. Don't you know who they are?
- Hey, - Yes, Boss.
I don't think they know who we are.
What are you doing? Hurry and let's introduce ourselves.
Yes, sir.
Okay. Follow your heart.
Yes, sir.
Go!
Why isn't he answering his phone?
(Attorney Cho Young Ki)
Where did he go?
Hey, you.
Hey, where's the footage you took from Kang Hee Joon?
Did you really believe that I'd keep such a thing?
Why did you do it?
If you watched them, you knew Yoon Seon Woo wasn't the killer.
Why?
Why did you frame Yoon Seon Woo? Why?
Are you an idiot?
I guess you are.
What?
You still haven't figured that out?
Because it was easy.
Because he wouldn't be able to strike back. That's why.
That's all.
But...
I think you can still be useful.
Stop what you're doing, and come over to this side.
- What? - Hey,
there are tons of people targeting you. It's not just me.
You will end up getting hurt...
if you stay on that side.
I'll release the members of Aeguk Newspaper just like you want.
So stop pretending to be righteous, and switch sides.
This is how you're going to stay alive, you idiot.
You're full of jokes.
Lieutenant Jeon.
Do you remember the first live broadcast Yoon Seon Woo appeared in?
We announced that...
we're going to broadcast everything live for five days...
until we prove his innocence.
And...
today's...
the fifth day.
What are you talking...
Don't tell me...
That's right.
Everything was being broadcasted.
So I'm saying that you're doomed now, you jerk.
You jerk.
- He did it. - He got him.
(Corrupt police officer, Jeon Chan Su)
(Aeguk Newspaper live broadcast)
(Justice always wins. Han Mu Young, Aeguk Newspaper)
I thought the site got shut down...
after they arrested everyone at Aeguk Newspaper.
I think it's too late...
to stop it now.
It's gone...
too viral.
(VIP Wing)
(Lawyer Cho Young Ki)
You saw Aeguk Newspaper's live broadcast, right?
What video footage...
are they talking about?
No way.
Is Jeon Chan Su trying to bargain with us?
My gosh, this crazy jerk.
My goodness, does he want to die or what?
(Regional Investigation Unit, Kim Hong Gi)
Are you on your way?
Please hurry before anyone gets hurt.
Try saying that again.
What?
What did you say you were doing?
You jerk.
I'd like to make an announcement.
You may have already heard,
but I found video footage of what happened at the site.
I'm sure you know what that means.
Then you must also know what you should...
do next.
You better keep your promise.
(Splash Team, Lee Suk Min)
("Tax or Offerings? An In-Depth Look at the Special Activities Funds")
You must be lost.
That's not your seat.
I just wanted to check the articles that got sent today.
Sung Shik.
Are you interested in making prophecies?
- Sorry? - You wrote that...
something bad is going to happen to Aeguk Newspaper's Han Mu Young.
How did you see that coming?
If things got unlucky...
tonight at the site,
Han Mu Young would've gotten stabbed.
Then thanks to your article stating Mu Young's conflict with gangsters,
Youngbum Gang would've gotten blamed for instigating his death.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
Who is it, Sung Shik?
Who has your back?
Chief Editor Jung?
Or did you receive orders from Director Gu?
Suk Min.
Did you upload that article?
Let's talk after we take that down.
And don't be mistaken. No one has my back.
I just feel sorry for criticizing Aeguk Newspaper too much.
No.
I had no intentions of delivering that trashy article written to...
ruin someone's life.
- What? - Sung Shik.
I'll give you two days.
You better choose your path before you end up...
not being welcomed by anybody.
Are you going to be a teammate or a spy?
You're being a bit too harsh.
To be honest,
I'm the only proper journalist in this team.
And did you call me a spy?
Is it bad to get information from my superiors to write an article?
Do you not have the ability to think rationally?
If you keep writing what they ask you to,
you'll only end up losing your job.
What are you talking about? Why would I...
lose my job?
This is the first article...
that will be released under our team's name in two days.
If you see this, you'll be able to find out...
what kind of trouble you've caused.
You should've thought twice before...
you agreed to write a story about aiding and abetting suicide.
You should've turned them down.
You should've checked...
the truth first.
Suk Min.
Hey.
The only reason I'm giving you one last chance...
is because unfortunately, I still remember how passionate...
you were as a rookie.
So think about it carefully...
for the next two days.
And if you want to keep working in this field,
bring me...
your final decision.
(Police)
Be quiet!
The worst thing that can happen right now is to get arrested.
But you first need to get your facts straight.
They're the ones who trespassed our property.
Hey!
Are you implying that you can't believe him right now?
Lieutenant Jeon.
What was in that security footage?
Hey, shut it.
- Be quiet. - What did you see in that video?
And who were you talking to earlier?
Give me a cigarette.
Don't be like that. We're family. Give me a cigarette.
I'm going to get released soon anyway.
You...
I guess you know me.
But that's weird.
Why did you do that when you already knew?
Why do you think your brother died?
That's because he followed me around too much...
just like you.
You little...
Let me smoke a cigarette.
Let me smoke...
just one cigarette before I die.
Let me...
smoke...
just one cigarette before...
Chul Ho! Chul Ho!
Chul Ho!
Why do you think your brother died?
That's because he followed me around too much...
just like you.
(Episode 14 will air shortly.)
