Chul Ho!
Chul Ho.
Chul Ho!
(Episode 3)
(Han Chul Ho, Chief Mourner: Han Mu Young)
(Gu Tae Won)
I shouldn't have driven under the influence.
I'm really sorry for what I did towards Mr. Han's family.
I admit to all my crimes.
(Court of Law)
I'm sorry, but I really can't understand you anymore.
Why are you being like this?
He's not the culprit.
The culprit's someone else.
You could be mistaken.
Your memory could've been distorted due to shock.
"Distorted"?
Why would I remember the wrong thing...
when my brother died right in front of me?
Tell me.
Okay. Calm down first.
Just be honest with me.
You're not willing to trust me because I'm currently being...
accused of having used drugs and got expelled.
But you should at least trust my brother though.
He said he needs to reveal something.
Both his accident and that fake culprit.
I'm sure they all have something to do with the story he was covering.
My brother's death might not be an accident but murder!
Yes, it could be!
Let's say that could be the case!
But must you even uncover...
your brother's whereabouts to fulfill your delusional thoughts?
Just let him rest in peace!
Letting go of him...
might be the best we can do.
If you find out what Chul Ho was up to...
Listen to me. Don't talk about my brother that way.
I understand that you can't trust me.
And I'm embarrassed that I can't earn your trust.
But don't talk about Chul Ho that way just because you can't trust me.
Let's stop here.
Let's drop it.
Hey!
Why do you think your brother died?
That's because he followed me around too much...
just like you.
Mu Young.
Just tell me one thing.
Tell me not to give up until the end.
Just tell me that.
(Prosecutor, Kwon So Ra)
(Personnel Appointment)
(Appointed to Jeju District Prosecutor's Office)
(ID Card)
(Prosecutor's Office)
(Announcement regarding disciplinary measures)
(Splash Team: Disbanded)
(Lee Suk Min: Appointed to the History Publishing Committee)
(Team Leader, Lee Suk Min)
Yoo Kyung.
Why do you think...
Chul Ho did such a thing?
Who would ever know?
Crazy jerk.
I can't believe he died like that.
By the way, give it to me. I'm here to take it away from you.
(Resignation Letter)
Don't worry.
Even if I am in the bottom of this pyramid, I'm planning to...
slug it out until the end.
That...
is the responsibility I have for this team...
which I completely ruined.
But still.
Only in the team, we could criticize without worrying about the outcome.
I can already sense...
how Daehan Newspaper will collapse.
That's why...
I have to make sure...
I get us another chance to start over.
Writing informative articles...
isn't the only duty of journalists.
Let's try to survive until the end.
Your pride means so much to you.
Are you confident you can do this?
Confident?
No, I'm not.
How can I feel confident about this?
(You are never too late if you have the courage...)
(to ask the right question.)
(Aeguk Newspaper, Yang Dong Shik)
I don't have a cell phone or family.
I'm sorry. You were the only person...
I could think of to call.
Don't be sorry. We are not strangers.
We ought to help each other out.
You think so too, don't you? We all live in this world together.
Since we are on the topic of this,
- let's work on a project together. - Pardon?
If you help me out, for your newspaper agency, Aeguk Newspaper,
I will be the best media jackal in this world.
What?
(Human Trafficking)
(Journalist Han Chul Ho)
He will definitely...
be in the articles my brother wrote.
(Park Eung Mo)
Where are you?
You can't run away from me forever.
I...
will find you in the end.
Did the meeting begin?
I have to ask them what they think.
I think something went wrong with Park Eung Mo's joint.
Last night, around 9pm, four skeletons were discovered...
in a warehouse of a commerce company located in Incheon.
The police decided that there was criminal activity involved,
as the four skeletons were wrapped in plastic bags.
The police announced they will investigate Mr. Park,
who was arrested for smuggling 10 women from Southeast Asia,
regarding this discovery.
Sir, the police just sat and watched as they roam freely in the district.
We don't have to drag it out. My team will investigate this case.
- You're here, ma'am. - We'll get an arrest warrant...
for smuggling those women.
We plan to prosecute him for the murder when we find enough evidence.
Yes, sir. I will brief you on that when we meet this afternoon.
Yes, sir. Goodbye.
(Daehan Newspaper)
What did he...
come all the way here? What is trying to do now?
- There's Park Eung Mo! - Wait.
- He's coming out. - There he is.
Do you admit the charge?
- Share a word. - Tell us the truth!
- Please give us a comment. - Did you really do it?
The police really didn't have a clue about this incident?
Mr. Park Eung Mo, do you admit that you murdered four women?
Take a photo of his face.
- Did you really kill them? - Share a word.
- Goodness. - Mr. Park Eung Mo!
Step aside!
- Tell us the truth. - Give us a comment.
("Mr. Park Is Suspected of Murdering Four Women.")
He doesn't deserve to be forgiven at all.
We can't let these scumbags go free,
can we, Chul Ho?
(Daehan Newspaper)
What is the thing...
placed in front of you? It's Mega Five.
Mega Five which the whole country has been waiting for,
was released today.
But look.
Look at the front page.
I can't believe it.
How could they ruin our release day like this?
Do you not want to do business with us anymore?
Let's cut to the chase.
Put an article about it tomorrow on the front page to recoup the loss.
Executive Kim.
I think you must be mistaken.
The front page demonstrates...
hundreds of journalists' opinions, and it's also work of art.
It's not a canvas that a company can just have control over.
It's a brush we must swing for the public good.
Look, Director Gu.
We have done so much for your agency. How...
The reason why PH Group...
is using our agency for your advertisements.
You should ask CEO Yoon why.
A conversation that involves money...
It's nice.
However, it was only nice right before we found out that...
CEO Yoon has a hard time keeping his pants on.
Until your company becomes a regular customer of our company,
please don't even think about...
making demands to us.
Director Gu went head to head with the head of the marketing team.
Goodness, he's truly unbeatable.
That's why people say that the past and the future of...
Daehan Newspaper lies on the hands of Director Gu.
But I think his junior journalist...
can't wait to bring him down though.
Hi.
Hey, Lee Suk Min.
You don't think that I didn't spot you just now?
Hey.
You went to the field yesterday with photographers. What's this about?
I was missing the wind of the sea.
Why do men get so lonely when they get older?
Why? Why do we get so lonely?
- Why do you keep getting on... - Why do men get more lonely
someone else's team, butt in, and freeload on their work?
Should I tell you where you belong?
You belong to the Daehan Newspaper's History Publishing Committee!
You don't belong in the field.
You belong in an office as a member of the committee.
Clams are famous in Incheon, aren't they?
Hey, do you want to go and have some roasted clams?
Jerk. You still haven't gotten your act together.
Goodness, hey.
It would've been nicer if you were obedient when you had the chance.
Hey, Leader of Splash Team.
Tiger of Journalists?
Gosh, your golden days are over now.
So if you want your position back, you should go to Director Gu...
Hey!
Why does this coffee so horrible?
What happened?
- Gosh, that stubborn jerk. - The wind
Get in.
Long time no see, Suk Min.
I heard you are adjusting well...
into the committee.
It's all thanks to you, Director Gu.
You seem to enjoy your job, so I'm relieved.
It was worth sending you there.
Do you remember the name Park Eung Mo?
Isn't he the suspect of what happened yesterday?
A few years ago, there was a report saying that a few brokers...
working in Incheon had something to do with human trafficking.
That's when we first heard Park Eung Mo's name.
If you didn't order me to let go of the story back then,
we could've prevented...
yesterday's accident from happening.
It's very arrogant to think that...
you'd be able to reveal everything that happens in this country...
just because you're a journalist.
"I'm relieved that he got caught yesterday."
Just think about it that way.
They...
found four dead bodies.
I'm saying we could've known beforehand about why those women...
had to be buried behind those walls,
and we could've prevented it.
I told you before, didn't I?
You need to separate yourself from the case.
That's the kind of journalist that Daehan Newspaper wants.
You need to make the company need you...
in order to gain power inside this organization.
If not,
you can just waste your time satisfying the wrong people...
by working in the History Publishing Committee.
Haven't you realized that yet?
Director Gu. No. Tae Won.
My gosh.
Hey, you media jackal!
Hey, just a moment please.
I heard there was a ruckus near the coast of Incheon last night.
Was that you?
I heard you were investigating Park Eung Mo's back until now.
Why are you so interested in my job?
I'll be able to get the overdue monthly rent...
if you guys succeed in getting a big scoop.
You ripped the net at the driving range five years ago...
and ruined the business.
You still owe me money for that, you punk.
You better be prepared.
My gosh, quit poking my face with flowers.
I'm either going to drag you guys down to Gunsan, my hometown,
and kill you guys without anyone knowing about it.
Or you guys can hurry up and pay me what you owe me.
You guys are going to have to come to a decision sooner or later.
Sir, why do you saying such brutal stuff?
There's something on your shirt.
("The eyes of a media jackal will brighten the world.")
(Always use burner phones for security.)
(Let's use scrap paper.)
(Scrap paper)
(Donated by the one and only Yang Chu Sung)
Hey, guys. I'm really curious of something.
We ordered 1, 2,
- 3, 4 bowls of jjajangmyeon. - My gosh.
But they only gave us one small pack of pickled radish.
Is that because this Chinese restaurant thinks of us...
as people who are no better than trash?
There he goes again.
Back when I used to work in the top three newspaper company...
My gosh, stop it.
Back then, we didn't even eat if a Chinese restaurant...
didn't give us a free dish of sweet and sour pork.
That's what makes journalists proud.
Gosh, stop it already.
Stop what?
Last year,
I wrote an article about 12 congressmen and 5 conglomerates...
on their violence, adultery, and gambling.
But the National Intelligence Service still hasn't called me yet.
Listen to me, you guys.
You need to be competitive when you're out on a stakeout.
- Go on and eat. - What if Dospatch starts writing...
articles about politics and society? You need to step up the game!
If you're going to act independently like that guy over there,
just quit right now!
Hey, stop going around and ruining your reputation.
If you keep causing trouble like this,
how do you expect me to take care of everything?
I brought you a huge scoop. Stop scolding me.
If we release the video we shot yesterday,
the future will be bright for us.
I've already seen that video,
but I think we should just end it here.
- What? - It's too big of a case...
for us to handle.
We can't lose this chance.
We still owe Mr. Yang a ton of money.
That doesn't matter.
This isn't a simple case.
It's mass murder.
Why would you make yourself become the witness?
No, no.
We may be media jackals.
But we can't blink a blind eye on this kind of crime.
What are the rules of our company?
Did our company have rules?
First, only write articles that are worth money.
Second, only write articles that are perfectly based on strong facts.
Third, let's try to be at least...
a little bit better than other journalists.
Hey, forget that. The prosecution can deal with bringing justice.
Please don't overact.
No, wait. It's because you weren't there at the site yesterday.
We shouldn't just let go of this case like this.
Those jerks are always spying on me.
The prosecution isn't going to bring justice.
What a load of nonsense.
That's why people call him a media jackal.
Do you even know how the world works?
Do you? You media jackal.
I'm different. I'm not like him.
I'm a special media jackal.
My gosh.
If we're not going to reveal this case, how am I supposed to...
ruin Park Eung Mo's life?
Mr. Park Eung Mo.
Why did you live your life like this?
You're human. You should've lived like one.
Does Ms. Park Mi Young know about any of this?
Park Mi Young.
You're daughter.
I told you many times that I'm currently being falsely accused.
You're being falsely accused?
My gosh.
I guess you don't feel like you did anything wrong...
because of your terrible background.
Listen.
We all have very short lives.
You better watch what you say.
Oh, right.
People like you...
enjoy...
beating people up and threatening people.
My gosh.
Why don't you go ahead and hit me too?
Treat me just like how you treated those dead women.
Can't you do it?
Can't you do the same thing to a woman who has social power?
You little...
You should've begged for their forgiveness.
I'm already upset that I didn't catch you sooner.
So I'm going to make sure you get locked up in prison.
So just smile until today, you jerk.
By the way, So Ra.
You better do a good job this time.
I think there's going to be a personnel appointment soon.
I know it's only a one hour drive away,
but you've never once set foot in Seoul for the past five years.
You should get appointed there this time.
Yes, sir. I'll do my best.
Okay. There's one animal that...
I think is very clever.
Do you know what that is?
No, I don't.
Toads.
Toads...
apparently know how to repay one's kindness.
Don't you think you should be a bit more better than a toad?
Of course, sir. I'll always do my best...
to become a better person.
I respect you, sir.
(Prosecutor, Kwon So Ra)
Life is really not easy.
How can he talk about his personal needs...
in front of all the other prosecutors?
His existence itself is illegal.
Excuse me, Ms. Kwon.
Remember that journalist you mentioned yesterday?
Yes, did you look into him?
There are so many small media companies these days.
Let's take a look.
This is from the press office,
and this one's from the police station.
(List of Newspaper Companies)
What do you know about Aeguk Newspaper?
They specialize on revealing the truth about...
politicians and conglomerates by doing stakeouts.
But their official address is fake,
and other journalists don't really know who's working there.
I got the answer.
It's them.
- Pardon? - They're a suspicious bunch,
but the police only protected Aeguk Newspaper.
Oh, really? Let me see.
That guy, Lieutenant Jeon...
I have a bad feeling about him.
He seems to have a connection with this case, doesn't he?
Yes, you're right.
But how are we going to find this group of unidentified people?
(Episode 4 will air shortly.)
