(Episode 6)
(Namsan Mart)
(Purity Soju)
Goodness.
Shoot.
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.
Hello.
- Hi. - Hello.
Do you know the guy who lives in the rooftop house right there?
The rooftop house?
Yes, he just bought bottles of soju.
I guess you are referring to the Instant Guy.
Excuse me?
He always guys instant food that has no nutritional values.
That's why I call him that. Why do you ask?
Do you know him?
He's just an acquaintance.
But does he always buy that many liquor bottles?
No, he doesn't. Just he does that once in a while.
That foolish punk.
Goodness. What a disappointment.
Wait. Hold on.
Help me. Save me.
No!
You should feel guilty about what happened today.
It all happened because of you.
(Purity Soju)
I'll tell you everything you want to know.
What are you going to tell me?
I know everything about...
the man you're looking for.
Those men are...
(Park Eung Mo)
(Voice Memo)
I know everything about...
the man you're looking for.
Those men are...
What is it?
Why? Why did he say...
"those men"?
- Oh, my. Goodness. - Hold on.
Hey, take this right now.
Goodness, what is all this?
Maybe it's because of the weather, but they're all wilting.
Think of it as my favor to you.
Well... Are these from Fukushima? Am I your experimental guinea pig?
How can you be annoying when I'm being nice to you?
It's more suspicious when you're giving me these for free.
Don't you remember the last time?
You told me to withdraw money from the ATM when I was 10 cents short.
That's where we stand.
Forget it. I just did what I was asked...
Anyway, I made the delivery.
What is this? Something feels fishy about this.
Anyway, I'll enjoy them!
(Late Han Chul Ho)
(Photo Department)
- Yes? - Yoo Kyung.
If...
I say that the culprit who killed Chul Ho...
is alive somewhere in this world,
would you believe that?
Pardon?
What nonsense...
are you talking about?
It's nonsense, isn't it? I'm being ridiculous, aren't I?
But the thing is...
what will you do if someone is crazy enough...
to put his life on the line...
to follow this ridiculous idea?
Because I hated Chul Ho at that time,
I think I might have ignored...
what Mu Young was trying to tell me.
But I think I've been irresponsible enough,
and I've caused enough damage already.
I'm too sorry and embarrassed...
to face him again.
(Daehan Newspaper, Han Chul Ho)
(Splash Team, Daehan Newspaper)
Hey, Sung Shik, don't you have anything to tell me?
What? What do I have to tell you?
I mean...
Today, there were so many articles saying we made a false report.
I was just wondering.
That video...
was really falsified, wasn't it?
Do you think I was in on this?
What do you want me to do? What can I do with the result?
Are you feeling guilty or what? You are overreacting.
I'm going.
Goodness.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Sung Shik.
Did you just get here?
Yes, I just got here. What is it?
I was curious when you said you made a decision to save our country.
Is this it?
But before I hand this to you, can I ask you a question?
- No, you can't. Don't. - So I...
used to like studying.
- Look at you. - I studied when I got bored.
Why? There were no variables that puzzled me.
- There's only one answer. - So what?
But this time, I don't know what the correct answer is.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Which one should I choose between a scoop and my conscience?
Of course I'd choose the scoop no matter what. Are you happy now?
- Pardon? - I will take that as a yes.
What on earth is this? This better be good.
What is this?
What are they talking about?
It's confirmed that...
no one pushed Park Eung Mo.
Yes, it seems like it.
What do you plan to do next?
Do you really plan on prosecuting all the citizens you brought in?
If I try, I might be able to release a few of them.
It depends if you are going to focus...
on your superiors or the public.
By the way, I thought you and I were on the same page.
What happened earlier...
Didn't you mean you wanted to catch him even if he was dead?
Are you sure about this?
This is how that strong headed prosecutor responded?
Yes.
Why did I have to witness that out of everyone?
Hello, I'm Gong Ji Won from Daehan Newspaper. Nice to meet you.
(6 hours ago)
It's nice to meet you. I'm Gong Ji Won from Daehan Newspaper.
- It's nice to meet you. - Goodness.
What is that?
What's happening? What's up with his face?
Hey, what is this mess?
- Did you locate him? - Yes.
What are you doing? Get the car and go there!
If anyone harasses him,
there will be a big price to pay. Got that?
Yes, yes. Hello?
Prosecutor, I think we have to hurry.
Prosecutor!
Let's...
wait 10 minutes and go.
What?
I think there are physical fights out on the streets.
What do you plan to do?
If something bad happens, it's going to be a big mess.
That man...
committed countless crimes.
Yet, he's smiling.
What can we do?
10 minutes...
aren't that long.
Do you mean this?
(Prosecutor Kwon So Ra's Office)
So if they arrived on the scene 10 minutes earlier,
the prosecution probably could have rescued Park Eung Mo?
Yes.
But Sung Shik, is this the right thing to do?
I get that scoops are really important,
but I'm not sure if revealing this is the right thing to do.
Don't try to play in someone else's chess game.
Just be a reporter, Sung Shik.
You think anyone will believe a reporter that gives false reports?
But running this story is the right thing to do, right?
The last evaluation of my internship will be held soon.
Hold on.
First off,
- how about giving it more time? - Sorry?
You said it yourself. You said this wasn't something you could decide.
So you're going to let the company make that decision for you?
Sung Shik.
Are you setting me up so that you can betray me?
- What? - It makes sense.
You, a success-oriented person, wouldn't give me such advice.
You should cover stories from the police station and hospital again.
Goodness, look at you.
When I look at you, I can see you haven't learned anything.
Come here. I'm going to teach you a lesson today.
- Gosh, it hurts! You're hurting me? - It hurts? Endure the pain.
(Prosecutor Kwon So Ra)
(Han Mu Young)
("Judo Silver Medalist, Han Mu Young, Expelled for Drug Use")
That was a big decision to make.
Reporting about manipulating matches isn't easy to do,
especially when you are part of the organization.
This might come across as obvious.
But matches must be fair.
The logic that whoever worked harder...
and ran more should be the winner should be kept,
shouldn't it? I mean...
That's how people who are less fortunate...
than I am will have some hope.
He hasn't changed.
If you are going to pretend to be nice,
you shouldn't have done anything that's questionable.
If you are going to do fishy stuff, you shouldn't have let me catch you.
Prosecutor.
I will get the warrants for the citizens we rounded up today.
If we don't have a suspect, we'll get all the blame. For you...
I mean...
This is for the prosecution.
To be honest, I thought about this a lot.
He said I didn't have to do anything for a medal. I had nothing to lose.
But when I thought about this,
the reason I chose this path...
was because I wanted to win fair and square in a match.
I didn't choose this path to become someone's pet.
I'm sure it's the same for you too.
Hold on, Inspector Park.
Let's proceed according to the law,
not according to Chief Prosecutor's will.
What on earth are you talking about?
Does it make sense that you don't have a single suspect?
I don't care if it's from the deceased family. Just pick someone!
The press is going nuts about this.
At least someone has to take the fall for this.
This is the video one of the citizens on the scene took.
As you can see, before the fall,
no one on the rooftop...
approached Park Eung Mo.
Can't you see these people surrounded and threatened him?
You can say it was an accidental murder due to willful negligence.
If you get creative, there are tons of charges you can come up with.
He slipped and fell.
I can't prosecute them because they were criticizing a murderer.
Are you kidding me right now?
This isn't your first rodeo. So stop acting like it is.
Do we only prosecute when they are guilty?
If your stance on this isn't going to change, I will shoulder the bomb.
But it won't be just me going down.
What did you just say to me?
The public is criticizing us for our lack of competency.
I'm telling you that I won't take the blame by myself.
Should I go outside and hold a press conference?
I'll start with how his charge of human trafficking was overlooked.
I'll tell them everything.
You! You, idiot.
Don't you know what it means to obey commands in this organization?
Do you think you'll have your job after you do this?
While you were stirring up the Park Eung Mo case,
were you confident?
If you were confident,
I will say I am too.
You...
Don't do something you'll regret.
I'm not the only one on line here.
Then please tell this to those invisible hands.
If they plan to use their power again,
they'd better be prepared.
I will make sure...
they never get a good night's sleep ever again,
even if I have to put my job on the line.
Gosh, she revealed her true colors.
She revealed her true colors, that crazy woman.
Goodness. What do I do?
- Not yet. - We should wait here.
My gosh.
Why aren't you picking up? Please!
Director Gu, they might tear us into pieces this time.
The media seems to be planning to...
aim all their guns toward the prosecution office...
for going easy on the investigations and whatnot.
Yes, the rain pour will be quite heavy for the time being.
The mass has risen up.
We should let them celebrate their success for a while.
You want me to just stay put and let them roll all over me?
The mass just needs someone to get mad at.
Once the excitement winds down, they'll all forget everything.
You know how people and public opinion work.
Goodness, come on.
Shouldn't you still at least stop it from becoming a mess?
To be honest, I did so much to make sure you're covered.
Please just quietly stand in the rain for a couple of days.
I've always given you an umbrella before your shoulders get soaked.
Anyways, who did you say it was?
Excuse me?
The person who's suspicious of this investigation.
Was it Kwon So Ra?
Did you say it's Prosecutor Kwon So Ra?
This is an unprecedented event.
A witch hunt like people's court...
opened at the center of Seoul.
It began when an online media source started...
revealing Park's location in live time.
It demonstrates how angry the public...
feels over the prosecutors' incompetent investigations.
So before Park Eung Mo died, he said...
"those guys" instead of "him"?
- Right. - Yes.
Doesn't that mean it's an organization?
But I don't think they were in the same organization.
Park Eung Mo ultimately tried to reveal who they are.
But Mu Young, where are we going?
I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
Listen carefully.
How do you think our Dong Shik...
stayed alive and well until now despite his private loan debts?
How? Because he has two hearts?
Come on.
What are you talking about? It's because he's a total coward.
He has so many tricks up his sleeves...
on how to get back at them just in case something happens.
But, come on.
What about Park Eung Mo?
You think he didn't have anything prepared?
Of course.
The fact that he mentioned that in his last moments...
means he had a weapon he could pull out when in danger.
So? Don't tell me!
Yes, we're going to Park Eung Mo's office.
We need to take another look.
Gosh!
Are you serious? Let's not go in.
Let go.
We need to open the lock.
Why? What's up?
Why are you doing this to me?
Why include me in this?
(Prosecution office)
He sounded like a reporter.
He showed a photo of a tattoo.
He said everything would go away if he can find the guy with the tattoo.
What are you looking for, Han Mu Young?
What is this? I think everything's been seized already.
There must be nothing for us here. Let's go back.
Wait. Don't you smell cigarettes?
My goodness.
I think we were late.
I doubt it's the police.
Someone was here first.
Why? It could have been the police.
The ash is still hot, but there's no cigarette butt.
Have you ever seen the police be so meticulous?
This is usually what criminals do.
They don't want to leave any fingerprints or saliva.
Come on, Mu Young. I'm getting goosebumps.
Hey, whoever it is,
they cleaned out this place good.
Let's go back now.
There's nothing to even search for.
If someone went out of their way to come here,
that mean there was definitely something to search for.
What could that be?
- I know! - What?
- I know! - Goodness. What?
We have the footage we secretly shot.
We can use this...
to see what's missing.
Gosh. How could they have taken everything?
Basically everything is gone.
Wait. Rewind a little.
The wall on the right.
The wall on the right. Stop.
Look.
There's a calendar on the wall in the footage,
but there isn't one now.
It's not there.
So what? Someone could have taken it to use it.
Do you know anyone who hangs a new calendar in August?
I understand them taking the files and hard drives.
But why would they take a calendar?
Right?
Usually, you get calendars for free from client companies.
Yes. If that's the case, aren't you curious of the...
about the client company that gave the calendar?
Come on. Isn't that a stretch?
Hey, this is a very logical and scientific conclusion.
If you don't feel it by now, you don't deserve to be a media jackal.
Anyway, you analyze this.
And find out which company issued those calendars. It's your job.
- Alright? - Oh, come on.
We're not the CSI.
He's making us do all kinds of things.
- Us? - Finish it by tomorrow.
Well, I guess it's my job.
I should totally make a special appearance on "CSI".
Anyway, the company that issued the calendar is very famous.
It was easy to find them online.
A famous company?
You've heard of the law firm Noah, right?

Who are you to commit something like this?
(Cho Young Ki)
(Cho Young Ki, Lawyer at Noah)
Even in here, the head lawyer for each case is different every time.
Cover a case each...
and start making phone calls.
Just tell them you're interested in their defense.
Wait until you meet them in person...
to see if they know Park Eung Mo.
Yes, hello. I'm Kim Yong Shik from Daehan Newspaper.
I'm calling to ask you some questions concerning...
the Geumwoo car recall case and its recent supreme court ruling.
You were famous for being the dream team.
I was wondering if you'd like to relive those memories.
Hello, I'm calling from Seoul Post.
I'm calling about the coast guard murder case from five years ago.
Noah defended Yoon Seon Ho's case back then.
I'm sorry, but I don't have time to answer.
Call again later.
Yes, wait. Hello?
What is this?
Hello.
Do you happen to remember me?
I'm sorry, but who are you?
Five years ago,
I met you for the Han Chul Ho case when he died from a hit and run.
I'm Lee Suk Min from Daehan Newspaper.
I have a couple questions I'd like to ask you.
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.
The lawyer selected you as a witness back then.
But you didn't come to court.
Weren't you his fiancee?
You could have claimed his innocence, but why didn't you?
Did the prosecutors object?
Can I meet you somewhere else?
I think the bus will be good.
Take the 7212 bus from...
the Buam-dong office at 2pm.
Hurry and leave.
Goodbye.
Yes, hello. I called earlier...
about the Yoon Seon Ho case.
Yes, please speak.
What do you want to know? I don't have much time so please hurry.
He was found guilty on all three trials but a retrial was requested.
Did you find new evidence?
What happens if I tell you?
Are you going to pay me for doing an interview?
Why? Do you have any information...
worth a fee?
First, I've just been fired for a ridiculous reason.
Second, I have considerable credit card debt.
Third,
I do have an interesting story you'd like.
I think I'll want a revenge against this firm for the next hour or so.
If you want to hear something, come now.
People are coming. I'm hanging up.
Hello?
Hey, everyone.
Did this happen to you too?
- They pick up like this? - What's up?
This woman's telling me she'll spill everything.
Hey,
I think there's something here.
Chae Hyun's mother had a heart disease,
but we couldn't afford the surgery.
A couple days after Chae Hyun confessed,
I received money for the surgery in my account.
He told me not to testify.
He said he had to be found guilty.
That's the reason why...
I couldn't testify although I believed in his innocence.
Then was there evidence...
to prove that he's innocent?
When Han Chul Ho got into that accident,
Chae Hyun was with me.
But Kim Chae Hyun committed suicide from the guilt.
I remember that's what his will said.
He couldn't have committed suicide.
Chae Hyun was preparing to appeal,
even two days before he died.
He was exploited from the very beginning.
He wanted to reveal the truth,
and he was murdered because of it.
Can you say what you just told me...
in court?
No, I can't.
I came to ask you to never come find me again.
I don't want to...
die like Chae Hyun.
I never know who's watching me.
But I already told Daehan Newspaper the whole story.
I don't know why you're coming to me again.
What did you say?
I already sent you everything that could be used as evidence.
The victim Han Chul Ho worked at Daehan Newspaper.
So I thought you guys might help me.
But you guys never got back to me.
What are you talking about right now?
Who did you talk to there?
And what did you send?
(Weekly editor meeting)
Yes, let's be more aggressive like this.
I like how this investigative section is going.
So have the company provide further resources for them.
Are you sure?
But this requires a lot of money and time.
Investigative reporting isn't something to joke around with.
Someone has to do it anyways.
It's right that Daehan Newspaper does it.
Why? You're just going to keep your head down,
and write down what I say?
Just make sure they don't end up like the Splash Team...
and fall into a trap while poking their noses everywhere.
Your eyes always have to point outside.
We're a family.
Meeting's over.
("Defendant of Coast Guard Murder Case Applies for Retrial")
(Special appearance by Park Jeong Hak)
(Falsify)
Are you from Aeguk Newspaper?
What are you doing?
I can't end things like this.
I need Aeguk Newspaper to prove my innocence.
I found evidence that Chul Ho's death...
from five years ago was a murder and not an accident.
I'm saying I want to reform the Splash Team.
- Do you have evidence? - I have just one left.
You're facing Daehan Newspaper.
Let's bring in cameras and go live.
It'll be a grand retrial for the nation,
coming at them live.
(Tomorrow night at 10pm)
