(All the characters, organizations, places, and happenings...)
(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
(Episode 23)
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?
Sung Shik, I'm busy. Let's talk later.
Suk Min, Doctor Kim lied about the stowaway boat.
It's a trap.
A trap?
It was Dr. Kim who provided the fake corpse for him six years ago.
Which means Dr. Kim was just an accomplice.
Then what about the video? Who filmed the video?
It was Kim Yong Soo, the finance director.
He's with us right now.
He said he was already feeding Seoul District Prosecutors' Office intel.
What is this?
This is breaking news. Nam Kang Myung, the CEO of New Harvest,
was known to have died in 2011.
However, one of our reporters have obtained a video...
to prove that he's still alive.
Today at 1pm, he's planned to come in through Port Gung Pyung.
- What? This jerk. - Many people are wondering...
- He was still alive? - if he'll really show up alive...
when he's been known to have passed away all these years.
- Hey, did you watch the news? - After receiving plastic surgery,
he's been wandering around in China.
- Honey. - This is similar to...
the storyline of the famous movie, "Face Off".
- Let's go get our money back. - If Nam Kang Myung...
really returns to Korea...
Turn on the TV.
That jerk, Nam Kang Myung, is still alive!
("Nam Kang Myung Smuggled in Through Port Gung Pyung at 1am")
(Gu Tae Won)
This is going to cause quite a big disturbance.
We haven't even started the actual game yet,
but it's already all over the news which means we're doing good.
Every media company except for SBC is broadcasting this right now.
Really?
Then send that recording file to SBC.
They must be hesitating because they don't have any clear evidence.
Let's be their witness to help them get on the boat.
In order for my masterpiece to work,
every single media company needs to handle this story.
I need everyone's eyes on Port Gung Pyung.
Hey, how can you do something that even media jackals don't do?
Hi, I'm Yang Sang Ho of Aeguk Newspaper.
- This can't happen. - Did you check...
- the identity of the informant? - Right now?
- Where did this even come from? - So are you saying that...
everyone's going to Port Gung Pyung right now?
- Everyone's going? - The receiver cannot answer...
(Director Gu Tae Won)
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?
What's going on right now?
The wrong information has been going around.
What do you mean?
This is not a coincidence.
This didn't happen by chance either.
I'm sure they had a goal when they planned to gather us here.
Whatever that goal may be, we can't stay here.
Let's split up and move.
We still don't know which port he'll really be coming through.
What if the information about Port Gung Pyung is also a trap?
All the information we have are just too obvious.
They're playing the cards knowing that we'd react to their every move.
Then should we just give up when everything's right in front of us?
All the other media companies...
are probably on their way to Port Gung Pyung.
It's going to be a live broadcast.
We can't just stay here and be suspicious of their true intentions.
Do you see this?
This is not news.
It's just one big show.
Everything from Nam Kang Myung's new face...
to the place and time of his arrival...
has been broadcasted.
So I'm sure all the victims are heading over there right now.
I'm saying there must be a reason behind involving us in this circus.
A big show where all the victims gather together in one place?
("Murder Suspect, Park Eung Mo, Free Due to Statues of Limitations")
("Murderer Gets Released Due to End of Statute of Limitations")
It's Park Eung Mo.
What?
"Park Eung Mo"?
What are you doing?
The boat's going to arrive in less than 30 minutes.
Hey, it'll take us more than one hour to get to Port Gung Pyung.
Chief Director Yang.
Doesn't this situation feel somewhat familiar?
What are you talking about?
They're copying us.
They're doing exactly what we did...
when Park Eung Mo got released.
What?
They've put on a noisy show,
so everyone will gather to Port Gung Pyung, just like what Suk Min said.
And most of them will be victims.
Thousands of people...
have lost their money because of what New Harvest did.
What do you think will go through those people's minds...
when they see Nam Kang Myung?
"It's that devil who stole everything away from me."
"He's the scumbag who scammed everyone in this country."
They're going to want to take revenge on him.
And everything...
is exactly like how it was when Park Eung Mo got released.
An accident might occur.
No.
Our opponents...
are probably expecting the worst case scenario to happen.
Nam Kang Myung is someone they'd want to get rid of.
The missing 1.8 billion dollars...
and the fake corpse.
He's the only evidence that can explain...
such nonsensical happenings.
But if that's their goal,
why did they have to make us all gather here?
She's right. They've set a double trap on us.
But why?
They sent out false information so that we can waste time.
That's how they'll be able to...
get rid of Nam Kang Myung without anyone getting in their way.
Half of us can stay here,
and the rest of us can go to Port Gung Pyung.
I should've realized...
that this could've happened today.
I should've been suspicious...
when all the evidence came to me so easily.
We were all too hasty.
But we wouldn't have been able to make any other choice...
even if we were to turn back time.
Too many coincidental happenings overlap with each other.
To be honest, if you were my family or a close friend,
I would've told you to stop here.
But I know you're not going to say that to me.
Instead of regretting things,
let's do what we can do best.
I'll see you at Port Gung Pyung.
I'll see you there.
You never know what will happen, so be careful.
Just run away if anything suspicious happens.
Chief Director Yang, don't forget.
Every accident happens near Mu Young.
Okay. Nam Kang Myung might also come in through this port.
So you guys need to be careful too.
There might be a gunfight, so be prepared to...
What gunfight? Stop talking nonsense and go.
Get in the car already. My gosh.
Do you have a company credit card?
- My gosh. - Bye.
What's that?
(It'll be best for you not to go to Port Gung Pyung.)
I don't know.
It could be a trap,
or it could be...
our one last chance.
Think about it again. Are you sure about going there?
Remember when you told me to stop?
You thought my goal was to take revenge, not to set things straight.
Hey, that was...
So I gave it a lot of thought.
I wondered if I should give up.
But I couldn't bring myself to do that.
I'd regret not having gone further regardless of the reason.
So what's your conclusion?
I'm going to go.
The only thing we have left is to go after the facts.
Okay, let's go.
I guess we can't change our personalities.
But are you seriously not going to tell me who reported this...
to the Splash Team?
You can stomp on me if you have to,
but I'm not going to tell you anything before I die.
Suk Min. Suk Min.
Do you know this?
You're a really weird person.
Hey.
I'm not as weird as you are.
You saw the news, right?
I can't believe he's going to come in through Port Gung Pyung.
Are you listening to me?
Why did you do that, sir?
You already knew that Nam Kang Myung wasn't going to come in...
through Kyung In Port.
Why did you make me waste time by giving me the wrong information?
What are you talking about? Why would I do something like that?
Did you plan this with Daehan Newspaper again?
Since the prosecution has started to investigate this case,
the best way to cover up for what happened six years ago...
would be to get rid of Nam Kang Myung.
What big picture are they planning this time?
An accidental murder caused by the victims?
My goodness.
You must think of everything as a conspiracy and a trap,
but all I did was give you some information to help you keep face.
You better get your facts straight.
On July 25, when I was attacked by an unidentified man,
you talked to Detective Kim Hong Gi of Seoul Police Station three times.
It seems like...
you leaked our information.
Was this part of you doing me a favor?
Kwon So Ra.
How dare you claim I was implicated in this?
Even if I lose Nam Kang Myung,
I will make sure...
to make your life harder than it is, Chief Prosecutor.
I'll see you in the morning.
What? Hey, don't hang up on me.
Don't hang up on me!
What a scumbag.
Goodness.
Old habits die hard.
Gosh, has she gone mad? How dare she hang up on me?
Goodness.
How dare you threaten me?
Fine. We have to see who's going to be smiling...
tomorrow morning.
I just heard she's on her way to Port Gungpyeong.
The article about her will be printed tomorrow morning.
I'll leave you to handle the voice of the prosecution in your hands.
In order for us to leave a definite mark on her,
you must use all the power you have.
(Director Gu Tae Won)
Yes. We have 20 minutes left.
You said not arriving in time is the point of all this, didn't you?
I'm 100 percent positive she won't.
(Port Gung Pyung at 12:40am)
I'm here.
Yes.
Everything has been prepared.
(12:45am)
We only have 15 minutes left, but we still have an hour to go.
I just hope our worries don't become a reality.
This is driving me crazy.
("Nam Kang Myung Is Alive. He Will Be at Port Gungpyeong at 1am")
Nam Kang Myung killed people and changed his face...
in order to keep himself alive.
Is it possible...
for someone like him to be in the dark his information has leaked?
What is this?
(It'd be better if you didn't go to Port Gungpyeong)
How come Nam Kang Myung didn't get a warning?
Why did we get the warning instead?
No. Let's not question this.
The people behind my brother's death.
The identity of the man with the tattoo.
Nam Kang Myung is the only one who can explain everything to me.
I...
must catch him.
How many officers have been dispatched to the scene?
Okay, I understand.
Crowd control won't be easy.
Keep the civilians away from the scene.
Ask the coast guards for backup.
(Port Gung Pyung at 12:50am)
A 15-ton fishing boat is nearing.
There's about 20 miles until its arrival.
Everyone, stay focused.
We'll arrest him after the boat is completely anchored.
Spread out.
Go to your places.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
How is it going on the street?
We're trying to control the crowd, but we need more backup.
There's already a crowd here.
- If we wait here like this, - Move!
- Nam Kang Myung will come here. - That's right!
Who are you to stop us from entering?
- Who are you to stop us? - Move away from us!
(Seoul Post)
Let me see. Ji Soo.
- Take photos from left to right. - Yes, sir.
Chul Woong, take photos centered around the victims.
Goodness. What if something bad really happens?
You cannot come in further. Please go back.
Go back!
Go home!
There are already people clustered around the port.
Suk Min, how long do we have to go?
- 10 more minutes. - Darn it.
I should get my camera ready.
You didn't even bring a camera?
I can take photos with my phone.
Goodness.
No, but my phone isn't working.
Oh, my.
What should we do?
It's already 1am.
All we can do is just hope that nothing happens.
- Inspector, let's speed up. - Yes, ma'am.
(Port Gung Pyung at 1am)
- What's going on? - Go!
Get out!
Catch him!
Tie it.
- Hold it there. - Pull the rope.
- Pull it! - Hold it.
Keep pulling.
Please spare me. I didn't do anything.
Stop right there!
Freeze! Put your hands in the air!
Mr. Nam Kang Myung?
Oh, my. I must have lived too long.
Who knew I'd get to see a superstar like you here?
Hey, get everyone out of here.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Hide their faces thoroughly, so no one can take photos of them.
- Yes, sir. - Hey, get up.
- Hey, let me pass through here! - Step aside.
- There they come! - Hey, you!
- He's here. Let's move! - Move away from us.
- Where are you going? - Let's go!
Hey, the reporters are coming.
Hey, stop them!
- You can't be here. - Please move back!
- Please stay away! - Here he is!
That's Nam Kang Myung! He's Nam Kang Myung!
- How dare he smile? - Nam Kang Myung, you scumbag!
- Nam Kang Myung! - Hey, you!
(Port Gung Pyung)
Let's hurry.
Goodness.
- Move out of my way! - Step back!
- You cannot be here. - Don't push me.
- That's Nam Kang Myung. - He's right there.
- Isn't that him? - What?
What just happened?
Oh, no!
Step aside!
What happened?
Nam Kang Myung...
Are you serious?
How could this happen?
We're at Port Gung Pyung. A man has been stabbed and passed out.
- What just happened? - Is he dead?
No.
Don't do anything that'd make you a suspect.
It won't do any good for us to get involved now.
He can't just die like this.
He can't die like this.
Everyone, stop where you are!
I'm Prosecutor Kwon So Ra of Incheon District Prosecutor's Office.
Unless you want to be a suspect,
don't move.
Anyone who makes a move starting now...
will be considered the culprit.
Take photos of the Splash Team and Aeguk Newspaper...
- including Prosecutor Kwon So Ra. - Yes, sir.
That guy...
I guess that's a habit he does when he's nervous.
Everyone, stay where you are.
Didn't you hear her? Whoever makes the first move is the culprit.
No, it's not about that.
- Hold on, Detective. - Let's go.
Hear me out. That vehicle with the plate number 3765.
- Investigate the guy on that car. - Okay, I got it.
Something is off. Something's not right.
- Please! - Okay. We'll take care of that.
- Come on. Let me go. - We'll talk at the station.
- You need to check that guy. - Your hands.
Excuse me, Detective.
Darn it!
Sir, calm down.
You need to stay still if you want to live.
Let's lift him up.
Which hospital are you going to take him to?
We're taking him to a downtown university hospital.
Inspector Park, let's follow them.
Okay.
Excuse me.
- My goodness. - Move over.
- I can't believe this. - My gosh.
- Move. - Stop it.
Hey, stand up. I said, stand up!
Stop trying to play tricks. Hurry up and stand up.
- Stand up. - Come on. Get up.
Stand up. Hey, listen to me!
Stand up. I said, stand up!
Get up on your feet!
Are you not going to do as I say? Stand up already!
Stand up!
Stand up.
- Hey! - My gosh, you startled me.
Hey, what are you...
My gosh, that fool.
It's not like she's going anywhere. Why are you doing this to her?
Who are you?
- Are you okay? - You reporters must be crazy.
Can you stand up?
This is an obstruction of justice.
- Do you want to... - My goodness, I'm sorry.
She's always this feisty.
Hey, just focus on taking photos.
Can't you see all those reporters taking photos?
Dong Shik.
How desperate do you think she was to have come all the way here?
She's only trying to stay alive.
Can't you see that?
Can't you walk?
My gosh.
Can you really not walk? Here, get on my back.
Get on my back.
Hey, put her down right now.
Do you want to get arrested too?
I'll just carry her to your car. She's going to go with you anyway.
You've got nothing to lose.
Let's go.
I...
brought this upon myself, didn't I?
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
I'm the one who made this happen.
If I...
hadn't done what I did with Park Eung Mo,
nothing like this would've happened.
Did Aeguk Newspaper do the right thing back then?
No.
You surely did the wrong thing.
You handled things too emotionally.
With a clumsy sense of justice,
you acted as if you were a hero.
But you're going to hold yourself responsible...
for what happened today just because of that?
Are you stupid?
Are you delusional?
This was all...
a part of a planned puzzle.
Those journalists who wrote the articles like puppets...
also helped this plan to work.
We're all responsible for this.
But you're just a media jackal.
Why would you hold yourself responsible for everything?
I may be a useless media jackal,
but that doesn't mean I'm free of getting judged by what happened.
I'm the one who provided them a reason to use us.
You're right.
I'm not telling you to forget about what happened.
You're the one who did it,
and you should definitely feel responsible for what happened.
But just because of that,
I don't want you to lose your initial cause.
Any human being can make bad judgements.
But if you change the way of life just because of that one mistake,
that'll only make you an empty shell.
Do you understand?
So keep your head high.
Please calm down.
What happened?
He died on the way here.
He lost too much blood.
Hurry up. Take photos.
- Excuse me. - How do you know...
Nam Kang Myung?
How do you feel right now?
My gosh, this is not right.
Do I really just need to give you a fingerprint?
Yes. But...
it's crucial to give it to us before the police get their hands on it.
Have you seen this man recently?
No, I haven't seen him.
He's been complaining that he has nowhere to go because of his debt,
so our boss overdid himself to get him a place to stay.
Dr. Kim already went into hiding?
("Nam Kang Myung Gets Attacked at Port Gung Pyung and Dies")
This was not part of the plan.
I didn't expect Nam Kang Myung to die so easliy like this.
Mr. Kim, calm down. It's not over yet.
It's been proven that he was alive until now,
so we'll be able to question everyone...
that's been helping him.
The most important evidence has died.
Do you think that'll work?
I know I'm an accomplice,
and that I only realized my mistakes...
after making my family into victims.
But for six years,
I was able to hold on because I was waiting to take him to court.
But I can't believe...
he just died like this.
(Daehan Newspaper)
We don't know anything.
We're not trying to protect an informant or anything.
We just really got the information from an unidentified person.
But when we opened the video file,
it was obviously Nam Kang Myung.
Of course.
It's only right for you to pretend not to know.
That's the only way you can get away from having killed someone.
What do you mean?
What do you mean we killed someone?
Isn't Splash Team responsible for spreading information about...
Nam Kang Myung to other media companies?
I'm sure you first wanted to break a scoop at first.
But you ended up going to the wrong place.
You knew that you won't be able to get to Port Gung Pyung on time,
and you couldn't trust the police because they might be in on it.
I'm sure you wanted someone to run over to the right place.
You guys were obsessed about catching Nam Kang Myung,
so you suddenly went crazy.
You're talking nonsense.
If that's not true, tell me the truth.
Where did you get that video clip from?
You're covering for a criminal act right now.
Whoever did this planned this with Mr. Kim,
and that person already knew that this would happen.
Regardless,
I can't tell you information that I do not know.
You're not going to tell me anything even after a person died?
Sung Shik, don't you think we should just tell them?
We already know that we got that file...
from Director Gu.
Hey, are you crazy?
A single word from us could put this whole company in danger.
How can we let that out without having anything to back us up?
I'm sorry.
But let's not act up.
We're bound to get hurt...
if we act up in this kind of situation.
Let's separate them and interrogate them separately.
We need to find out who they got that video file from.
We can't just lock up journalists.
And the suspicion of the informant isn't even clear.
What do you mean? Why isn't it clear?
Raging victims and journalists who wrote down what they were told to.
This situation was enough...
to explode with just one spark of fire.
It means someone threw a match from afar.
That person made this happen without getting any blood on their hands.
The problem is whether or not if this is going to be the end.
What does that mean?
Don't you think there are too many people involved...
to think of this as a scheme to get rid of just Nam Kang Myung?
I have a feeling that...
this is a big scheme to bury someone else along the way.
Let's get started now.
