[Episode 9]
Ji Ahn! Ji Ahn!
Ji Ahn...
Ji Ahn! Ji Ahn!
Ji Ahn.
Are you okay?
I said, are you okay? Huh?
Hey kid! Answer me.
- You... - Yes. It's me.
Look at me, will you?
You told me to come to the roof.
So, I was going to go to the roof.
But, the elevator broke and I really thought I was going to die.
That... that person.
That person appeared and he saved me.
I couldn't see his face.
But, I saw him... that person Healer. You know!
Stop. That's enough.
That person... he almost died because of me.
Almost died...
Can you walk?
Let's go.
Come with me.
What's wrong?
Chae Young Shin?
- My cell phone... - What?
My cell phone.
It belonged to my mother. I can't lose it.
It must be in there, inside the fallen elevator.
Let's just go for now. We'll get that later.
Let's go down.
Someone definitely tampered with the elevator.
Seeing that the fall was timed like that...
the culprit must have been nearby.
Whoever it was...
had a clear view of Chae Young Shin while doing it.
Got it. I'll check all the surrounding CCTV's.
Also...
track Kim Moon Ho for me right now.
You want me to track where he's taking Chae Young Shin? Okay.
I hacked his phone so that won't be a problem.
- But, Healer? - Yeah, what?
What will you be doing?
I...
have something to find.
What was that?
Healer?
Hello?
Oh... I...
fell.
You fell? You?
Wait. A guy who wouldn't fall if someone threw you...fell on your own?
And what's with your vital signs?
Your heart rate is like...
Chae Young Shin?
Do you know how to check for pulse?
I had a sick person in my household so I learned.
Are you okay?
- I'm okay. - You don't have to go to the hospital?
I'm not hurt.
It seems like you had trouble breathing.
It was just a momentary thing, only because I was shocked.
I'm fine now.
Alright.
Have you met the informant? Shouldn't you meet that person?
Is that what I said on the phone? That there was an informant?
You said there was an informant on the Kim Eui Chan case and to come quickly.
And?
You told me to turn off my phone in case I got tracked.
- That wasn't me. - What?
Someone impersonated my voice to get you to come to that building.
But, it was your voice.
I'm sorry.
- For what? - It was a warning to me.
But, they decided to use you.
So, what you're saying is...
someone pretended to be you and called me there
and broke the elevator on purpose to...
No way!
Let's go to my place. Your home is dangerous.
You live in a single home, right? Anyone can get in and out.
How do you know about my house?
I told you. I did a background check on you.
Wow! Is this a penthouse?
So, people do live in places like this.
Oh! Look at this view.
Wow.
Doesn't a person go a bit crazy if they see something like this daily?
Did you stay up all night last night?
I dozed off for an hour and a half.
And, you almost died 40 minutes ago.
Yes.
Do you have a good personality or are you just dense?
Actually...
I really want to sing right now, but I'm holding it in.
You can hold your liquor, right? I'll add some liquor.
Also, I have something to ask...
but, I'm holding it in.
Who is giving you a warning and why?
What do you mean by, they used me to warn you?
And before...
you called me by another name, right?
Was it Ji Eun?
Did I do that?
Yes, you did.
Was it Ji Yeon?
Whatever it was, it's something like that.
It's Ji Ahn.
Oh Ji Ahn.
A girl I knew.
I was in a panic and I made a mistake.
Drink this. It will help you sleep.
Tell me what you know.
- I ought to know. I nearly died... - Let's think later. Sleep.
- Then I'll be going home. - I told you, it's dangerous there.
I'll be okay... that person... Healer will protect me.
- He saved me from a falling elevator... - I thought you investigated him.
Then, you must know. He's a night courier.
He has one standard, money.
Tomorrow, if someone offers him more, he'll be on their side.
He has no morals or loyalty. That's why he can do his job.
- Don't trust him. - Still...
You have a low-grade fever.
Get some sleep.
- Moon Ho, I... - I'm asking you.
If you don't, I'll be too worried to leave.
I have somewhere I have to go.
Sleep.
If you're listening, I wanted to say this to you.
Saving her today...
thank you.
I'm not sure whether to call it compensation for danger...
or a sign of my gratefulness...
but, I will deposit more than enough.
And, I have one request.
If you ever happen get a job from them...
So...
you and I are standing on opposing sides...
I'd like a warning.
After all, I've been a regular client of yours.
That's the least you can do.
Trust. Trust this one time.
Then you will be able to trust more and more.
Back when Dad was like a stranger to me, that's what he said to me.
You just don't know it yet
but if you get to know me, I'm actually a metal can robot.
If you don't like something about me, do you see that... that mark there?
That... that mark there?
If you don't like me, you just press right there and I'll
be moving and then suddenly I'll be like this. I can't move. I'm frozen.
I can't move. Do you want to try? Here... try.
Then, you'll be able to trust me.
There's no use. She crawls into corners and holes and won't come out all day.
Does she understand what I'm saying?
Yes, she understands. She just doesn't speak.
Even, I have yet to see her face properly.
If I leave food here, she comes out to eat when no one's here then hides again.
Then... where does she sleep?
That's the problem. What will she do when it's winter?
When we grab her and force her inside, she's so fast.
She runs away and hides like this again.
It's not that I don't understand.
You must have heard, but when she came it was difficult to look at her.
Her entire body was bruised and she had fractures in so many places.
Lee Kyung Sun, Han Young Ae... these people were no joke.
But, there was one that stood out and that was Kim Hyun Shik.
Do you know Kim Hyun Shik? No? You have to know Kim Hyun Shik.
The world that I knew after I met my Dad...
did not become more trustworthy.
If I was absent-minded, someone would backstab me.
And if I opened up my heart, someone would come in and scar it.
Ah! Ah!
Ahhh!
Still, I was okay with it.
If you have even one person you can truly trust and rely on...
no matter how often you get stabbed, in the back you don't get that hurt.
I am like that.
So now...
rather than be suspicious of people, it's easier for me to trust them.
Let's go.
Moon Ho!
Myung Hee, go inside!
What's going on?
I have something to discuss with Moon Shik. I don't want you to hear.
Don't come closer.
What have you done?
I should be asking you, what have you done?
What is this?
Have you decided not to be a human? Look into my eyes and answer... my eyes.
If you aren't human, what are you?
Explain so I understand.
Did you get him to do it this time too?
You don't usually like to get blood on your hands.
- Do you know what he's talking about? - You shouldn't have touched Ji Ahn.
You must have done it with the intent to end it all, right?
So, let's do it. Let's end it all tonight.
Did you just say... Ji Ahn?
I can even understand you lying to say that a living girl is dead.
You were trying to give Myung Hee the will to move on. But...
Are you saying Ji Ahn is alive?
Have you found her?
Is that why you've come here?
What in the world are you thinking? What are you saying I did to that child?
Stop. You make me want to vomit.
I didn't know.
It's the truth. I didn't know.
If it's not you...
is it the Elder that you follow?
Was he sending me a message?
- Moon Ho... - Listen carefully...
Whoever he is...
if he lays a finger on Ji Ahn, Myung Hee will the first person to know.
That's what you're afraid of, aren't you?
That Myung Hee will learn the truth.
You're crossing the line right now.
Making threats using Myung Hee?
I have no choice. I love Myung Hee too.
You want me to let a person I love...
live in the same house with the man who hurt her daughter?
You want me to just sit there and watch?
I can't do that.
You two brothers have another fight?
What's up with your face? Did you have dinner?
Drink this for now.
You look like you've been wandering the desert for a week.
Your face has become so thin.
What are you doing? My arm hurts.
There's some stew I made. I'll heat it up for you. Hold on.
- Myung Hee. - What?
I'm sorry, Myung Hee.
What about?
Moon Ho. You can cry. You can cry in front of me.
I'll make sure no one can see.
- It's okay. - No, it's not.
It's not okay, Myung Hee.
That's why it's okay.
Look at you... you must be really upset.
I don't know what it is, but it'll get better soon.
Trust me, huh?
Moon Ho?
Start talking.
What is it?
It was the Elder's order.
What... exactly were those orders?
Those orders...
You were to find that child and do what, exactly?
Without my knowledge...
what have you done?
That's...
This is Healer headquarters. This is Healer headquarters.
This is the time you have before we hand over Go Sung Chul's killer to the cops.
And, if you can't complete the mission, these stations will air the video.
- Secretary Oh. - Yes?
I need to meet the Elder. Make an appointment.
Yes, Sir.
I wonder if people will be mad if we air it during a primetime show.
For now, we plan to air it on these stations.
In order to increase ratings, we are preparing an exciting preview.
Please tune in!
One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four.
Love is all that I know.
- Dae Yong? Kid? - Yes, Boss.
- What are you doing? - I'm on a stake-out.
What stake-out?
An all night stake-out of Chae Young Shin's house.
- Where's Healer? - You have to ask him.
He wouldn't answer even if I asked and even if he answered I wouldn't know.
By the way, who's going to pay me for my night shift?
Um... hello?
Boss? What about my money?
Healer, you punk. Why did you disconnect from me again?
Wherever and whatever you're doing, even taking a dump, I told you to stay connected.
It's me.
Ex-convict? What are you doing there? That's Jung Hoo's house?
This was actually my old house.
That was a house?
It was discarded warehouse and Jung Hoo turned it into a home.
- Is Jung Hoo there? - No, he's not!
He has so many damn security measures!
The day got dark while I was finding my way in.
So, why did you bother going there? Jung Hoo doesn't let anyone in there.
Even I don't go there.
- Detective Jo. - What?
I have a favor to ask.
I don't do favors. I do take jobs. How much?
Kim Moon Shik's brother Moon Ho... you said you hacked his phone, right?
I did. Why?
Look through his email for me. I need to check something.
Check what?
You said Kim Moon Ho hired you for a DNA paternity tests?
That's right.
And, it was a daughter?
Yes. A female in her late 20's. That's right.
And she was an orphan?
Yes. She was orphaned in 1992.
Then, there is only one child Kim Moon Ho would be looking for.
Myung Hee and Kil Ahn's daughter, Oh Ji Ahn.
Hello, is...
I'm sorry. I think I have the wrong number. Sorry.
- Hello? - Aha! I got it. Yeah.
I have a good memory. I knew I memorized your number, Park Bong Soo.
I'm pretty awesome, right?
What happened... to your cell?
I lost it.
So, right now I'm testing myself to see how many numbers I've memorized.
How many do you remember?
Oh... you are like... the 19th, I think.
Wow. It's an honor.
I'm in your top 20.
Remember how I called you recently? Your number was fresh in my memory.
Anyways, were you asleep? You sound different.
Do you know what time it is now?
It's way past a good boys' bedtime.
Sorry, I must've woke you up.
Go back to sleep then.
I am... already... already fully awake.
Do you have something to... say?
You bastard.
That was... that... was... a curse word.
- Just drop it all. - Drop what?
Stop using honorifics. I give you permission. You go back and forth. It's confusing!
I like that.
But, make sure to call me boss every now and then
Every society has order and order is a beautiful thing.
Since I can speak informally to you, to celebrate this...
- I'll listen to your stories all night. - What stories?
Didn't you call for a listening ear?
Oh... you picked up on it. Impressive.
Are you outside?
Right now...
isn't it cold?
It is cold.
It's colder since I lost my cell phone.
A cell phone isn't exactly a hand warmer.
To me it's like a hand warmer. It was my mom's.
Since mom passed away, it's been my heart warmer.
Your mom. Oh, it was your mom's...
That explains it. I was wondering why you carried such an antique.
When it's cold like this...
when my heart feels the cold...
when I put my hand in my pocket to hold my phone...
then... it becomes warm. For real.
A phone that runs out of battery when you haven't even made calls...
it's time to replace it, right?
Such a lack of romanticism and imagination, how are you going to write?
It's cold. You should head home now.
If I head home like this, my dad will have about 175 questions.
I don't have the strength to deal with it.
Are you not feeling well?
Actually...
that's an excuse.
I have someone I'm waiting for.
You're waiting?
I thought I could meet him if I waited.
I thought he'd come...
from behind me... whoosh in and appear before me.
But, he's not coming.
That person...
I know he has something he wants to say to me.
He shouldn't be staying silent like this.
I'm...
ready to hear what he has to say.
I have things I want to say to him too.
But, he's not coming.
I guess he's not coming.
This can't be.
What kind of dog crap is this?
What are you talking about?
- Hey, you ex-convict. - What?
You said Jung Hoo's dad was the one that got in some trouble, right?
You said he killed his friend?
That's just what people said.
According to you, the friend that was killed, was Chae Young Shin's biological father.
So, Jung Hoo, that kid...
after his mother left...
never paid any attention to girls.
And, you say he finally has noticed a girl.
That girl is... her?
Yes.
Chi Soo! Young Shin is here!
- Stop! - Chi Soo, Chi Soo. Young Shin!
Dad!
You little... what time is it right now?
And why isn't your phone working?
Well Dad... it's a long story. Do you think we can go inside and talk?
Let's go inside and talk.
Do you know how many times your work called looking for you?
And... do you even think of the people worrying about you at home?
Don't you think how blue her face is from the cold?
Oh... I'm cold. I'm freezing to death. So cold.
Freeze to death? Where do you think you're going?
- She's going inside, where else? - Explain yourself!
Explain to me so I understand.
What is this, a court of law? What explanation? Go in Young Shin! Go!
- Thanks! - Go! Go!
'Sleep', you ordered...
But, I can't sleep unless it's my bed or my room.
So, to follow your orders, I will be going home to sleep.
Don't worry. Chae Young Shin.
Darn it.
Yes, this is Yoon Dong Won.
I'm sorry for the late call. I am Reporter Kim Moon Ho.
Huh?
Why would a reporter call... Kim Moon Ho?
- Can you speak for a moment? - It's really his voice.
Oh, yes!
It would be an honor. Perhaps, I could get an autograph sometime.
I have a subordinate named Chae Young Shin.
She spoke to me about you, Detective. Do you recall her?
Chae Young Shin, Chae Young... Ah Some Day!
I saw her at Hwang Jae Guk's place.
I'm considering sending you the videos found at Hwang Jae Guk's home.
Videos?
Hwang Jae Guk has 39 actresses taking part in sexual entertaining.
It's a story we are currently investigating.
I see.
But, maybe there's a misunderstanding.
I'm part of the Cyber Crimes team.
I only deal with crimes dealing with the cyber world...
and sexual crimes are dealt with by another team.
The men in the videos are men with connections and power.
I'm concerned the case will get stuck in investigations stage.
Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a outsider at work. I don't have much power.
We were able to get those videos by hiring a courier named Healer.
- Did you say Healer? - I heard you've been after him a while.
A long time... yes.
Currently, I know in whose vicinity Healer will be in.
Who would that be?
Reporter Chae Young Shin.
He has currently been hired to protect Reporter Chae.
Though, I believe the other side will soon hire Healer for his services.
Someone they recently employed, was taken down by Healer.
When you say 'they'... do you mean Hwang Jae Guk?
There's someone higher.
So... the person you want to catch, is it Hwang Jae Guk or...
is it Healer?
Of course, Hwang Jae Guk and all those behind him.
Once you start investigating, I'd like to share all our data.
And?
I would like detectives to stake-out Reporter Chae Young Shin and watch her.
Healer...
didn't you say you want to catch him?
That old man!
Show yourself! I said, show yourself!
Hey old man! I know you're still here!
I have something to say to you, you old bastard!
Show yourself before I find you.
If you make me find you, I'll beat you until you're half dead.
I have questions I need to ask you. Come out!
Aren't you my teacher?
Since you're a teacher, when I...
I...
I have something to ask.
I really don't know.
How do I know?
What should I do, Teacher?
Please...
just let me know.
Hello.
About yesterday... I'm sorry I just left.
- I wrote a note... - I should be the one apologizing.
I can finally breathe now that I saw your face.
What?
I hired some help to look for it...
but they couldn't find a phone in the elevator.
You didn't have to go out of your way. Thank you.
Here, take this.
It's a new cell phone.
- Oh no, I couldn't possibly... - This is company property so be gentle.
I'll use it well.
I was up all night thinking.
What should I do with you?
I'll be more careful from now on.
There's only so much I can do to protect you.
So, why not tell me...
who and why someone is trying to get rid of me?
- I'll take care of... - There are two methods.
One of them being, sending you off somewhere far.
Maybe to study abroad in the countryside, of in Europe somewhere.
That's the kind of line they only say on TV shows. You say it so seriously.
Your jokes are very old.
I thought you would react this way.
Then, the second method...
- Should I make you really famous? - What?
If you get famous and more people know of you...
they won't be able to pull stunts like the elevator accident again.
Because they won't be able to hide it easily.
It was always your dream...
to be a famous journalist.
How did you know?
Ah... background check.
Of course, if you get famous, things can get more dangerous too.
I'm not sure so you decide.
If you are scared, run before it's too late. I can help.
When will you tell me the reason?
The reason why I'm in danger?
It's because you're next to me. Can you just accept that for now?
- You said famous journalist right? - Yes.
I'm in!
Nothing is missing.
No thieves were seen.
I'm not sure what brought you here, Detective.
Did you see those guys on your way in?
Extreme security! How would a thief...
How would he come in?
It looks like there was a frame hanging here.
Where is the painting that was here?
I sold it. Are you satisfied?
Oh... you sold it.
Okay, so a pass on the thief talk. Next topic...
The women in this video...
they're represented by your entertainment agency, no?
This, here, is the lowest quality video
and I took a quick look at these a while ago and they were just... oh...
I couldn't even finish watching this.
What is this?
The girls. What have they been up to?
Yes, what have they been up to? Let us find out together.
On that note, you should come in tomorrow.
In particular, regarding the many upper class gentlemen in these videos...
I have many questions.
A morning drink is very nice. Try it.
Elder.
- That girl... - I was wrong.
I should have gone to you for approval.
I am very sorry for harming her without informing you.
I don't know what to say, now that you apologize like that.
- However... - However... I know.
If I had to go that far with that young woman.
Are you worried about Moon Ho?
Reporter Kim Moon Ho has been chasing me for over ten years.
Our recently seized business in
heavy industries... Soosun Corporation.
Whenever we lay our hands on it
like clockwork, Kim Moon Ho follows.
For all his efforts, all he can do is make a ruckus during a live taping.
What can a single reporter in Korea...
possibly do that you need to worry like this?
Is that so?
I wanted to bring him over to our side.
But, he left the station altogether.
And now he has his own newspaper company?
I wouldn't even call that a newspaper company.
And what about the LA video footage we managed to get last time?
Even that, Kim Moon Ho interfered.
If that had gone Kim Moon Ho's way...
What would have happened?
That task was my responsibility.
There would have been no mistakes.
I know.
In my vicinity, there is none like you. You are the best.
But, this time why do you think I passed on you...
and chose Kim Eui Chan as a mayoral candidate.
Elder... I...
It's because of your weaknesses.
Two very big weaknesses.
Your wife and your younger brother.
And now...
we can add that young woman as a third to that list.
I am well aware of my weaknesses.
That is why I have never wanted more...
or had bigger ambitions.
But, Elder...
my weaknesses
are fatal.
If I get hurt once, I will not survive.
I will end up dead.
You, yourself, have no need for a dead soldier, right?
From now, I'll take care of my problems.
I will eliminate my problems.
I will even decide how I will eliminate my problems.
With all sincerity...
I will decide.
Hello? I need to talk to the Elder.
Who is this?
My name is Hwang Jae Guk.
I already know this is the number to reach the Elder so put him on.
How did you get this number?
I'm a person with enough connections to have this number.
I'm in a very problematic situation.
If I get arrested...
I'm not going down alone.
I have a big mouth and I'll talk.
I don't know which names I will reveal.
The thing is... amongst those names.
There are some very important people.
Do you know what I'm saying?
So, before it's too late, put the Elder on the phone!
Alright.
I'll relay the message.
If you wait, you'll get a response.
The man who died while delivering the LA video footage? His name?
It's Go Sung Chul.
You said you need his killer, didn't you?
Here, here... listen up.
At 4 today, Kim Eui Chan will hold a press conference to announce his mayoral candidacy.
At the same time, through Some Day News, we will do an internet broadcast.
The broadcast will include the press conference...
but, it will also include the story we have been investigating.
Yes?
Aren't we going too hard at Kim Eui Chan right off the bat?
Shouldn't we start with something small?
A warm up? A practice game? Something like that.
Why are even starting off with Kim Eui Chan anyway?
- I'm trying to sell something. - Sell something?
Not like the media's mission or responsibility... but sales?
No one watches us for that. That's useless.
If it's Seoul's mayoral candidate and possible presidential candidate Kim Eui Chan...
Don't you think this will sell?
I think I have to do my spy duties on this one.
Do it. Just do it while walking. We have to get on site.
Jong Soo, what you have to do is, no matter what, get a seat.
Get the best seat you can get for live reporting.
Our broadcast will have terrible video quality.
With all inexperienced novices, there will be many mistakes.
Check the connection. Unplug everything and reconnect them.
We don't even have a production truck.
Still, let's give it a try. If we don't, we won't know what's a hole or what's a wall.
We will no longer be in our warm office.
Instead, it will be like the cold streets.
We'll learn to use swords in a real life battle.
I was late because I was looking for this.
The camera is here. They just left together.
Here, let's go.
- Where... where... to? - To get famous.
Huh?
Hey. Do a background check on everyone around Chae Young Shin.
If they're co-workers, they'd have a human resources file.
Yes, Sir. Should I look for current address, career, stuff like that?
Physical size.
Also, don't forget pictures.
What are saying now? What? What? What now?
- There's a problem. - What problem?
Tell us what's going on. We're all here.
I can't get in.
What do you mean? Why not?
They're only letting in reporters that are on the list.
Not only can we not ask questions, but we can't even enter the conference room.
Some Day or Monday... with this card, I can't get anywhere.
What should I do?
Freedom of press is still alive in this country! How dare they! What is this?
Who's in charge? I'll talk to them! Get them on the phone!
So, they will only accept questions they want and give scripted answers...
They're going to avoid the Joo Yun Hee case altogether?
Jong Soo, turn the camera again. Back pan. Back pan.
- Right there. - That's...
[Engagement Party]
Chairman Kim Sae Wang of GK's son is having a party in the next room.
Do you know them?
It will be hard to stop the guests from entering that party.
My cell phone.
Mine. It's new.
A phone that looks like him...
But, how does this...
Don't even know how...
Hello?
Moon Ho!
This is the first call on my new phone. I was confused since it's a smart phone.
Pardon?
Undercover? Us?
Where should we stop first?
So, the concept is...
someone who can get in anywhere and wouldn't get turned away.
Clothing that is beautiful and luxurious, is that what you're saying?
Okay, okay!
Ah... it must be those two people over there.
I have to go. I've become very busy.
Welcome. You're the ones Reporter Kim Moon Ho sent?
He told us to come here first, so we did.
Over here.
- I think I should wait outside. - Stay put.
- I think I should... - Shall we start?
- Wait, wait... - Hold on...
My clothes!
Where are you measuring?
Hey, this is undercover work.
I specialize in this.
A reporter must be able to transform herself when it is necessary.
I can transform too. I do it all the time, by myself.
Yeah so... Oh! You scared me.
- Bong Sook... - Don't talk right now.
I don't feel like talking.
- Why? Did you not sleep well? - No, I didn't.
Why? Oh... because I woke you up last night.
I had a lot to think about.
Oh, our Bong Sook. You're a deep thinker.
I did a lot of thinking...
