(Episode 22)
Is anyone home?
This is Hae Young, who used to live in the rooftop house.
Did anyone come here to look for her?
No.
She was pretty quiet during the time she stayed here.
She didn't seem to have any family or friends. I felt bad for her.
I made her some side dishes too.
I heard after she left,
she went into her company dormitory.
You don't know where that is?
I wouldn't know.
Maybe it's a children's hospital.
She started working as a nurse because she liked kids.
Just leave.
You guys are reporters?
What lies are you planning to make up now?
So what I'm saying...
is we are well aware that there are unsavory rumors about the victims.
But like I said before,
that's not why we came here.
I don't care what your intentions are.
We've already suffered enough. Both physically and emotionally.
Don't think about insulting my dead sister on top of that.
That's strange. The culprit?
I thought the guy who killed her died from falling off the roof.
You're right. But...
we're looking for the accomplice who led the organized human trafficking.
There was a report that even after that incident,
there were several similar crimes.
But we haven't had any leads.
Knowing what Hae Young did when she was alive would help us a lot.
I'm not sure.
I wish I knew too,
but ever since she left for Seoul they stopped talking to her.
And then she went missing straight away,
so I doubt her family would know much.
- I see. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Thank you. - Take care.
- It's hot. Bye. - Bye.
Let's see.
Why didn't you mention that?
That you received a letter from Hae Young.
Don't bring that up!
I don't know them. Why would I tell them that?
Still, they're from a famous TV program.
I don't care that they're from a famous TV show.
It's best to keep your mouth shut in cases like this.
You're right.
I've been watching, and you handled it very well.
It's a dangerous world these days. How can you believe them?
See. I told you.
Young people know it best.
But what's that letter you mentioned?
It's hard to get my hair healthy again.
- Maybe I need a hair mask. - Maybe you do.
What's the most expensive one?
150.
150?
(Sender Seo Hae Young)
My gosh, is this the letter Hae Young sent?
She sent me some money to treat her mom to a meal on her birthday.
She told me not to say anything, so I kept the information to myself.
Who knew she'd die like that?
She was such a good daughter.
You have no idea.
But don't tell Hae Young's mom anything.
Nothing good will come out of her knowing now.
(Sender Seo Hae Young)
(Faith Center)
Faith Center...
He's here.
You should follow him now.
Hey, why am I the one doing this though?
Don't you think something's switched?
What else can we do?
You know I'm not the motorcycle type.
Just know this.
This is what we call being a dimwit.
Come on, you don't mean that.
But Suk Min,
do you think this will really work?
It will. Whoever reacts to this document...
(Urgent)
That's the culprit.
(CEO office)
Urgent delivery.
It's for Jang Min Ho.
Please leave it here.
I wouldn't be here if this weren't urgent.
(Urgent)
This cost five more dollars.
How annoying.
I'm thirsty. Can I have a cup of water?
There's also coffee here.
- Yes. - Thank you.
Hello.
What is this? Who'd play a joke like this?
Mr. Jang, this is Director Kim Young Sook from the Saemoo Foundation.
She's here to check the acquisition deal for Jin Young Hotel.
Goodness. Hello.
I had no idea you'd be this young.
Now that I've been complimented, this meeting should go much easier.
You have quite the humor too.
Please have a seat.
Things like this are fun, right?
It's work hours right now.
Not here.
- Okay, thank you. - Bye.
Gong, where are you right now?
Yes, Suk Min.
I just delivered the document to that finance director.
But he's on a business trip right now.
His schedule changes a lot, so no one knows when he'll come back.
If it's really him, he might flee as soon as he sees the document.
Let's just have you wait there.
We'll go to Kim Sun Hong right now.
That really hurt.
It didn't hurt when the nurse did it.
You can't expect things like that at this hospital.
We're late in paying them, so they don't do anything now.
You're very honest.
Doctors don't usually tell their patients about overdue wages.
Well, this isn't even my hospital.
Oh, so you're a paid doctor?
Why is that? I saw that you have an impressive resume.
Life doesn't always work out the way you want it to.
So what now?
Should I prescribe you a week's worth of pills?
Sure.
(Urgent)
I know what happened that day.
If you want to keep your secret, come find me.
I'm sorry.
I suddenly have an urgent matter to attend to.
Doctor Kim.
I must get going.
Wait, Doctor Kim.
Suk Min, it's Dr. Kim for sure.
Doctor Kim.
Who are you?
It becomes obvious if you run.
How can you be so predictable?
(Daehan Newspaper Splash Team, Lee Suk Min)
Why would Daehan Newspaper do this to me?
If you recognize this photo that doesn't have anyone in it,
it means you were on that stowaway boat.
Your face might be on the photo.
You must have put in so much effort into editing it.
There are about 50 million people...
who want to know what happened that day.
Why don't you come with us?
Or else, your name will be on tomorrow's front-page headline.
I'll go with you.
I'll be right behind you.
That's what Nam Kang Myung used to look like.
He looks like that now?
He's not recognizable at all.
That's how advanced modern medicine is?
But why did you film that video?
You were a close acquaintance, and if you helped his stowaway,
I'm sure there was a price.
I have a friend I've known for decades.
His brother-in-law invested in that oilfield business,
and lost millions.
He eventually passed away.
I've done a lot of rotten things,
so I know I don't have the right to say this.
But so many people lost their lives that way.
It just...
felt too wrong.
Can I publish what you told me today?
No, never. You can't.
My life is on the line here.
There is no other way.
A video shot six years ago is not enough.
We can't just stop at a rumor that says Nam Kang Myung may be alive.
Then you can catch him yourself.
Wait.
Do you...
know where he is?
I heard...
he was supposed to come in early this morning.
Nam Kang Myung is returning?
For what reason?
He has bradyarrhythmia.
He has a pacemaker,
so he...
has to get the battery checked regularly. But the problem is...
Pacemakers are tracked by the government.
If he gets it changed in another country,
he has to risk exposing his identity.
It can't be found out that he's alive.
So he concluded it's safest to go to his original doctor.
Where is it?
Where will Nam Kang Myung be?
It's Kyung In Port...
at 1am.
Yes.
I'm sure of it.
(Cafe Rose)
My grandson knows someone in the coast guards.
He used to come here to help move some boxes.
But he just helped out with the work.
He wasn't involved in stowaways.
It's too dangerous.
The one time he did it, it was that guy.
Are you sure he will be on the boat this time too?
It's really Nam Kang Myung?
He said he'd pay the same fee as six years ago.
If it's not Nam Kang Myung,
who else would know how much we got paid back then?
Right?
But,
why are you helping with Chief Prosecutor Im's investigation?
Were you promised something...
in return for this information?
What do you mean?
It was nothing like that.
He once...
helped my brother avoid a jail sentence for battery charges.
He went very easy on him saying that my brother had a lot of potential.
I wanted to do something in return, but who knew it'd end up like this?
So,
Nam Kang Myung is returning tonight?
I already have the coordinates.
We were paid already, so I'm sure of it.
It's Port Kyung In...
at 1am.
(Faith Center)
So this is where Seo Hae Young sent the letter from?
Yes. The address seems to have changed but the name's the same.
Faith Center.
(Senior welfare center, Faith Center)
You've just seen the whole facility.
The center was founded in 1960.
Before that, it was a government-led organization.
But our parish has been responsible for it the last 10 years.
The address is different from the one 20 years ago.
Yes. There was a fire, so we had to relocate the building.
This was a child care facility before, but now it's for seniors.
So the management has changed as well.
Why? Was there a particular reason?
It was basically because of money.
Children need teachers who can teach...
and take care of them.
However, we couldn't handle it financially.
Still, if the government managed it,
it couldn't have been that different.
I heard that a pretty big foundation used to support it.
They've stopped now.
(List of employees in 1998)
You said you were looking for Seo Hae Young earlier, right?
I'm sorry, but I can't find that name.
May I take a look?
If she wasn't officially employed, she may not be in the records.
We lost a lot of our records in the fire.
So we only have what's been reported.
I see.
(Share Warm Food)
Excuse me, can we ask you a question?
Isn't "Share Warm Food" a food donation project?
Yes, it is.
You're doing good for the world. How kind.
But have you been...
working with them for long?
This should do it.
You have a lot of records.
My boss is a very nice man, but this is his way of doing things.
Make sure your right hand knows what your left hand did.
Of course.
That's exactly what we wanted.
People like that have good karma.
- That's how you live long. - Excuse me?
Mu Young.
Don't you think she looks similar?
Yes, you're right.
She's Seo Hae Young.
But...
Excuse me, sir.
Do you remember who this man is?
Yes.
He's the director of the foundation that used to support Faith Center.
I heard he passed away.
What was his name again?
Nam Kang Myung.
Who?
Wait.
Do you know him?
Yes.
I interviewed him a couple times before he passed away.
Goodness.
My gosh.
How can this be?
Who are they?
They're from Daehan Newspaper.
They're writing a story on ethical small business apparently.
Daehan Newspaper?
Daehan Newspaper came here once before.
Goodness.
What is Nam Kang Myung doing here all of a sudden?
Wait.
So what you said is really true?
You said that the tattooed guy committed those murders,
because of Nam Kang Myung.
Perhaps.
So Ra, I'll call you back later.
The voice analysis result is out for that tattooed man.
Apparently, there are no traces of emotion in the culprit's voice.
All syllables are pronounced separately.
And this characteristic is usually found in people who...
were abused or traumatized during their childhood.
What did you just say?
Childhood?
Childhood.
Tattoo.
Wait, how can that be?
It's here.
He's one of these children.
So Ra, you said that Seo Chong Su helped Nam Kang Myung smuggle out.
Are you sure of that?
Yes, I'm sure.
We have to find him.
All clues on that man with the tattoo...
are in Nam Kang Myung's hands.
Nam Kang Myung...
returns tonight.
It's Port Kyung In.
At 1am.
Why don't you try going out?
We should be in Korea now.
You'll be able to step on Korean soil in a couple hours.
But I've seen your face on TV before.
You're that man...
who came back from the dead, right?
Hey.
It looks like we'll have to get our hands dirty before we get to Korea.
Apparently, this man knows who I am.
What?
What are you guys talking about?
Are you scared?
You idiot. This is why...
you should never...
act as if you know someone and show off.
(11:55pm Port Kyung In)
One hour feels like forever.
Are you positive he's coming here?
Yes.
I can't think of any reason...
why that captain would lie to us.
It's so dark.
Hey, Mu Young. Do you think Nam Kang Myung will really show up?
He has to.
We have to hope he does.
I'm so scared.
Someone's coming? Hey, over there.
Someone's here.
- Maybe it's just a fisherman? - No.
It might be Nam Kang Myung's backup team.
What are they saying at the building? Who is it?
What? It's the Splash Team.
What are they doing here?
Hey!
Stop there.
How can you smoke here?
You want to tell everyone that you're hiding here?
How are you here?
My gosh.
How are you here?
How are you guys here?
Did you wiretap us or something?
Why would we wiretap Aeguk Newspaper?
That's ridiculous no matter how crazy we all are.
My goodness.
What is this?
What's going on?
You gave the tip to the Splash Team too?
Because us Aeguk Newspaper is not enough?
Hey, you think we'd piggyback on someone else like you guys do?
- Then what are you guys doing here? - We're here for Nam...
Nam?
Don't you dare say Nam Kang Myung.
Hey. How do you guys know that name?
It's leaked. Everything's leaked.
- Come on. - How do they know?
Wait.
The info on Nam Kang Myung that's been buried for six years...
was leaked all at once.
Is this a coincidence?
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Hey. There's your phone.
How are you so forgetful with your phone? You're a reporter.
I'll fix that.
My goodness.
Hey.
(13 missed calls)
Did you guys send this?
I'm Chief Prosecutor Cha Yeon Su from Seoul Central.
You'll have to introduce yourselves as well.
We're from Daehan Newspaper.
We're the Splash Team.
We waited just in case,
but we heard everything from Doctor Kim Sun Hong.
What's going on?
What are you talking about?
Didn't Doctor Kim Sun Hong shoot that stowaway video?
What do you plan to do about the Nam Kang Myung issue?
The prosecutors and Splash Team are now on to it thanks to you.
Even you can't stop both teams.
Nam Kang Myung...
It's ready.
Should we begin now?
The prosecutors have been pursuing him for a long time.
It was impossible to cover it up from the beginning.
We can no longer hide the fact that Nam Kang Myung is alive.
- Then... - Someone has to be sacrificed.
Someone who can cover up the issue,
and take the blame at the same time.
Yes.
It's even better if we can use the ones...
who have been eyesores.
Do you mean Kwon So Ra,
Splash Team,
Or Aeguk Newspaper?
Who says we can't use all three?
Yes, let's begin.
Sung Shik, I'm busy. Let's talk later.
Suk Min, Doctor Kim lied about the stowaway boat.
It's a trap.
A trap?
What is this?
Controversy has spawned from the rumor that Nam Kang Myung,
who is known to be dead, will enter the country secretly at 1am tonight.
Kwon So Ra,
Splash Team and Aeguk Newspaper.
They all have it wrong.
They probably think that if they catch Nam Kang Myung,
they can find clues and fight against us.
Then how do you plan to respond?
What do you mean how?
I give them back tenfold of what they gave me.
Tenfold.
("Nam Kang Myung Smuggles In Through Port Gung Pyung")
What is this?
("Nam Kang Myung Smuggled in Through Port Gung Pyung at 1am")
What?
("Nam Kang Myung, Presumed Dead, Smuggled in Through Gung Pyung")
News alerts are saying Nam Kang Myung is at Port Gung Pyung.
Let me look into it.
This is Yang Sang Ho from Aeguk Newspaper.
What is going on?
- What is this all of a sudden? - You've confirmed this?
Nam Kang Myung came in through Port Gung Pyung, not here.
This doesn't make sense.
If someone planned all this,
why did they gather all of us here,
and then release the article?
I'm here.
Yes.
Everything has been prepared.
What in the world is going on right now?
(Falsify)
What are they zombies or something? Why are they here so late?
I think it's time we write some articles.
Then start.
Don't you think it's too dangerous?
There were seven stowaways.
Are you insane?
Why are there only five people here?
