(Final Episode)
(Dear Gu Tae Won Reporter,)
This is the letter Detective Min wrote...
when he was at the Faith Center?
But how could they cover this up?
Is it true that Chul Ho left evidence behind?
Yes.
And it's true he was murdered for trying to publish an article?
Yes.
Let's do this. Let's do it together.
We can do what Chul Ho failed to finish.
This is the list of conglomerates that gave money to Sahae Foundation.
These are the plans they had for the Faith Center,
and information on the suspected arson that occurred there.
When will we publish the first report?
We'll release Chul Ho's video too?
This can be a big scandal.
And we must hold the key at all times.
No.
Aeguk Newspaper will publish the first report.
The same goes for Chul Ho's video.
- What? - This is a scoop that Aeguk got...
after rolling in the dirt for the past five years.
What did we do during that time?
All we did was obey Gu Tae Won.
Once Aeguk Newspaper publishes the report,
we will continue their work.
That's what we'll do.
(A media jackal's eyes shine light upon the world.)
(Company motto. First, we only write articles that make money.)
(Aeguk Newspaper)
("The Truth About Faith Center...")
("a Reporter Tried to Reveal through His Death")
You've endured so much...
to get to this point.
(Publish)
My name is Han Chul Ho.
I'm a reporter working at Daehan Newspaper's Splash Team.
Many of you might not be able to understand what I'm about to say.
But what I'm about to tell you right now...
is a recording...
of our country's criminal act,
which was both covered and concealed by Daehan Newspaper.
During my 10 years as a reporter at Daehan Newspaper,
I took part in numerous fabricated articles.
It was much easier than I'd thought to completely turn a case over...
with a single sentence in an article.
("Coast Guard Murder Suspect Arrested")
It was possible to turn the innocent into the guilty,
and likewise, it was so easy turning the living into the dead.
("The Reason Why Nam Kang Myung's Death is True")
All that was possible because it was Daehan Newspaper.
And at the center of it all...
was Director Gu Tae Won.
But ever since I found out about the existence of the Faith Center,
I lost all balance in life.
It was a horrible story about using children to overturn the government.
(Sahae Foundation)
At first, I did not believe it.
But it didn't take long for me to realize the truth.
Because I, myself,
was the evidence.
All the articles I fabricated...
existed to erase traces of the Faith Center,
and Sahae Foundation which was behind it all.
If someone is watching this video,
it probably means that I'm no longer in this world.
I could not fight against injustice,
and despise evil deeds.
So I am not a respectable reporter.
But I didn't want to remain silent until the very end.
My investigation has only touched the tip of this case.
But my fabricated articles and death...
will become the sure evidence that points...
to those who wish to cover up the truth.
(You are never too late if you have the courage...)
(to ask the right question.)
I hope all the reporters I respect...
use my regret as the stepping stone...
to reach the bottom of this case.
Please get to the bottom of this.
I beg of you.
If someone is watching this video...
("We Admit to Falsifying Articles and Apologize to the Readers")
it must mean I am no longer in this world.
("What is the truth behind the Faith Center?")
I could not fight against injustice,
and despise evil deeds.
("We Admit to Falsifying Articles and Apologize to the Readers")
So I am not a respectable reporter.
(The Staff of Daehan Newspaper)
But I didn't want to remain silent until the very end.
I'll ask you again.
Did Sahae Foundation give you orders to fabricate...
the statute of limitations for the Park Eung Mo case?
You no longer have a place to return to,
or a reputation to protect.
Make your decision.
I can't give you a lot of time.
(Daehan Newspaper)
He knew he was going to die?
Crazy idiot.
Let's begin.
The disclosure on Director Gu Tae Won's close relationship...
with Sahae Foundation is shocking the nation.
This was revealed through a video that Daehan Newspaper's...
reporter Han Chul Ho left before his death.
The video Han Chul Ho left behind...
contains shocking information on how Sahae Foundation plotted...
to overturn the government through Faith Center, an orphanage.
With this video as evidence,
prosecutors have seized and searched Sahae Foundation.
But most of the data within the Foundation was corrupted,
and several high-level personnel have already left the country...
to the shock of the nation.
("Heir to Younggwang Group Arrested for Murder")
Yes, Mr. President.
You didn't let me touch a single dollar bill.
But you're going around emptying Nam Kang Myung's vaults?
What are you talking about? That's not me.
I passed it over to the prosecutors.
I heard his private vaults are being emptied out.
If it's neither us nor you,
then who could it be?
Then what's the vault that hasn't been emptied out yet?
I got the statement report.
Oh, yes.
And the Splash Team sent this.
This is the letter Detective Min sent in 2011.
(Dear Reporter Gu Tae Won,)
(Please help me, Reporter Gu.)
(Statement Report)
The handwriting...
- Excuse me? - The envelope.
Where is the envelope Detective Min brought?
(Attention Aeguk Newspaper, Splash Team)
(But they scold us everyday for different reasons.)
(Prosecutor Kwon So Ra)
- Yes. - I think we can find...
the man with the tattoo.
He's somewhere close.
Yes, we are on our way.
Please dispatch backup to the scene and hurry.
Why are you here?
Your wife...
went to her hometown.
She gave up getting the heart transplant.
I know. I heard.
Why did you work with Sahae Foundation?
I'm begging you.
Don't say you did it for the sake of your wife.
I did it for myself.
That's just...
what I wanted.
I knew from the start that I made a mistake,
but I couldn't stop myself from getting involved.
Why?
Once I belonged to their group,
I was safe.
My life was fun that way.
Then...
why did you just watch Chul Ho getting murdered?
Why did you do it?
Why?
I already told the prosecution anything related to the law.
I have nothing more to say.
I bet it was because of Faith Center.
Should I tell you why you had to bury the story about Faith Center?
You were on the scene when the fire broke out.
Someone located you at the scene that day.
Did you run away?
Leaving those kids behind?
It all started from that point on.
So you joined hands with them.
And you let Chul Ho...
Then why did you betray Cho Young Ki?
I suppose that it was...
my conscience that had been buried deep within.
I have regretted my decision my entire life.
Those kids...
begged me to save them.
They were crying their hearts out.
The moment I abandoned them and ran away.
That cowardly moment of my life.
Even when I was intoxicated by power,
I couldn't wipe that moment from my life.
So that's why I wanted to stop it...
from happening once again.
What do you mean?
What will happen again?
The project at Faith Center...
wasn't over yet.
Those men...
are planning something even worse than this.
This is the last vault of Nam Kang Myung. Yes.
There are no traces that he was here already.
I'm on my way now. I think the police will arrive before I do.
Hold on.
That guy...
So Ra,
it's him.
This way. The guy in black.
(Daehan Newspaper)
We found the man with the tattoo.
Nam Kang Myung's last vault in Guro Industrial Tool Shopping Center.
Sahae Foundation...
was planning to make a terror attack.
If the man with the tattoo showed up at the vault,
it implies that something must be left inside the vault.
Okay. You need to find this guy. Got it?
Excuse me.
You jerk.
The suspect is at large.
Copied. The suspect is at large.
- Inspector Park. - Yes.
Please go after the man with the tattoo.
We'll head to the private vault.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Excuse me. This is an inspection.
Officers are injured. Please call for backup.
Is that what Nam Kang Myung brought into Korea?
Ask Chemistry Investigation Squad for the confirmation.
We'll request National Forensic Service to run a test on it.
- Goodness, what happened? - They're hurt.
What happened?
- He went down there! - He went down the stairs.
Freeze!
I wanted to ask you why you did it.
It wasn't Detective Min.
It was you.
You were the informant.
The handwritings in the letter sent to Daehan Newspaper...
and on the envelope in the letter sent to us were the same.
Only one thing was different.
It was Detective Min's handwriting.
It was you who reported what happened in Faith Center...
and who sent me my brother's articles.
It was you who told us not to go to Port Gung Pyung...
from the beginning.
(It'll be best for you not to go to Port Gung Pyung.)
But why did you allow it?
If you were that desperate to escape from them,
why...
did you become a monster they wanted you to be?
That...
was the order I was given.
I had no other way to live...
aside from obeying their orders.
But I regretted it.
I regretted what I did to Han Chul Ho.
I didn't know that he was preparing to write the article.
What are you doing?
Stop, Kim Jin Woo.
I'm not saying I'm going to forgive you,
but please stop.
16 years ago,
what would've happened...
if you guys came instead of Gu Tae Won?
Put it down.
Put it down and talk!
"Commit suicide when your identity is exposed."
That's all I have.
This...
is the order I was given.
No!
I came here to deliver the elders' message.
I won't hear it.
I'm not charged with a felony.
If a couple of the charges get thrown out, I can get out of this.
The plan's been canceled.
But the sample Nam Kang Myung left behind is still there.
I did not disclose...
the names of the elders.
I wouldn't have come here if you'd gone that far.
It will appear like a heart attack.
You still have family left.
Leave in silence.
I could not fight against injustice...
and despise evil deeds.
So I am not a respectable reporter.
But I didn't want to remain silent until the very end.
Why...
couldn't I despise you guys?
Excuse me?
Take good care of them...
while I'm gone.
You'd better not cry because I'm not there.
(Prosecutor's office)
What are you doing here?
I wanted to be your escort, so that you don't...
get distracted at the special prosecutor's office.
Thank you for everything.
Is that what you decided on?
You're going to leave?
I said this before.
I'm Han Mu Young before I'm Han Chul Ho's brother.
I think I'll need time to find myself again.
I want to stop you.
There aren't much clues left on the Sahae Foundation.
Isn't this when a reporter's connections come in handy?
There are much better reporters out there.
Don't you remember?
It's all because you of that we figured all this out...
about Sahae Foundation and Faith Center.
Being an Aeguk Newspaper reporter...
fits you the best.
So come back.
You have to. I'll be waiting.
Okay.
Thank you.
(Statement of funds)
The documents I've just handed out...
is the fund statements of President Min Young Ho,
whose death was set up as a result of Alzheimer's 5 years ago.
Several witnesses involved with Sahae Foundation have died,
and evidence has been destroyed. This investigation will be hard.
But I plan to begin...
with President Min Young Ho, the man who led us here.
Let's do this.
(Splash Team)
Chief, did you hear?
Jung Hae Dong's dismissal was rejected.
Gosh, I knew this would happen.
These scums never die out.
Do you think they'll start pressuring us again?
What can we do?
We have to be prepared.
- What? - What?
For your information, a true reporter...
has to rot in a dark corner...
for at least five years...
Excuse me.
(Chief Editor Lee Suk Min)
It's over. I think he's set.
How many journalists do you think would try knowing it wouldn't work?
I like him.
He can be reckless like this because he's a journalist. Don't you think?
Okay, looks good.
- Gosh! - That's great.
- That's good. - Yes.
- Just like that. - Gosh!
- Okay! - How about something like this?
- Yes! - That looks great.
- Amazing. - That looks good?
- Great. - Yes.
Hey, Dong Shik.
Is the list of questions ready?
I did write up a list, but...
Give it here.
Do you really have to do this?
Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?
Han Mu Young, when you emptied out Nam Kang Myung's vault,
what did you tell me?
You said you'd give me an interview,
and include it in the pages. Didn't you?
I definitely did.
We prepared a good story that would even make Oprah Winfrey cry.
Of course.
Chief,
let's give him a proper shot.
You just wait.
And you're going to leave us!
What do you mean he's leaving?
Mu Young, you're quitting Aeguk Newspaper?
Yes, it just happened.
Mu Young.
I'll come visit often.
We're family.
- But what about us? - No need to even mention.
You've saved my life more times than I can count.
I became a proper person thanks to you.
I think that...
I could see my brother's face while smiling now.
(Daehan Newspaper)
It's all over, Chul Ho.
What do you mean it's over?
It's not over until we find the person responsible for Faith Center,
and get to the bottom of Sahae Foundation.
You're trying to run off on your own?
I think I did everything I could.
It was so hard doing something that doesn't suit me.
You're not going to pick it up?
This phone is for Aeguk Newspaper tips.
This has nothing to do with me now.
Hey, you still have to take the call even when you're on break.
Hello? This is Aeguk Newspaper's Han Mu Young?
Excuse me? Yes.
Mister, have you heard of the Splash Team?
It's the team that contributed to exposing the Sahae Foundation.
Yes, that's the Splash Team.
They're better.
Would it be okay to send the Splash Team?
Yes, okay. Please wait there.
They'll be there soon.
What was the call?
What's it to you?
You're not working anymore.
Well, even when I'm on break...
Besides, that tip was for us.
Who says you can do that?
This is the place the Director of Sahae Foundation...
used as his personal office. Right?
Yes, I'm sure of it.
But you have to keep it a secret...
that I reported this.
Yes, this is how it always was.
I have no qualifications and no one recommended this to me,
but the desire to throw a stone to the world...
led us here.
Reporter Han Mu Young.
I thought you were done with this.
I don't know what's waiting ahead of me.
However, let's not be afraid.
Are we doing this?
We can't turn back now.
You're confident that you can do this, right?
As long as we care and have the courage to hate the evil,
the world will give us at least a chance...
to right an injustice.
(We'd like to thank you for watching and supporting "Falsify".)
