Eun Ho.
Eun Ho, wake up.
- No. - Cut! Okay!
- Good job. - Well done.
- Great work.
Director, you've worked hard.
(EPISODE 1)
Hello.
- Hi. - Hello.
There are more people on that side.
- Hello. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
- Please wave. - Congratulations.
I'm recording.
Say a congratulatory word for their seventh wedding anniversary.
- Happy seventh anniversary. - Thank you.
Director! Hi.
- What is this? - Say "Happy Anniversary".
- Happy anniversary. - Thank you.
Who is that man with those nice broad shoulders?
Gosh.
Goodness.
Jung Ho, say something.
Hey, record it later.
Come on.
Hey, who are those old gits?
Don't call them "old gits".
They're the MJ Group executives. They invested in Hye In's programme.
It'll air in Japan, China, South East Asia and the Middle East.
That reality show?
You and Hye In's business is getting bigger and bigger.
Since you have enough money, you should go easy.
Whatever.
I need to get more interviews.
It was the last shoot for the movie "Mother" where Jung Hye In...
plays a character that loses her child and avenges his death.
It's a movie by Kim Hong Joon, the Cannes' favourite director.
Will Jung Hye In become the queen of the Cannes...
with this role?
- Excuse me. - Step aside, please.
- Excuse me. - Excuse me for a minute.
- Please, move. - Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Mum.
Hyun Woo, how did you come here?
Blow these out.
Thank you.
- Hyun Woo. - It's Hyun Woo.
That's sweet.
I didn't expect that.
- I'm so jealous. - Excuse me one second.
- What is it? - Where are you going?
- Hyun Woo's handsome. - Right.
- Gosh. - What is this?
Did you make it yourself?
Well, I'm not good at it.
It looks great.
Hyun Woo.
Go wait in my car.
I'll be right there. Stay in the car with Kyung Hoon.
Hyun Woo.
Give me a kiss.
Quickly.
Why?
Because I need it desperately.
- You can go. - Okay.
Here. You should wear this today.
Cheer up.
Okay.
See you later.
From the start, I wrote the script with Hye In in mind.
She's an actress who analyses and acts the character perfectly.
Sometimes she gives me the chills.
I'm always thankful since she does better than what I expected.
Director, I'm sure there were...
special incidents that happened during filming.
You'll see when you see the film.
She does about five minutes of monologue.
I asked her to do it because nobody else could do it.
This maybe a rash question.
Will you work with Hye In again on your next film?
I'd love to if she wants to.
Then, what about you, Hye In?
I don't think I can do it, Sir.
Are you saying you can't or you won't?
Is it because of the new reality show on UCN?
No.
There is something...
I want to say here today.
For the last 20 years, I've received so much love and support.
I'll now say goodbye to the best role of my life of being an actress,
and will live as an ordinary mum, wife and neighbour.
I want to live as an ordinary person amongst you.
This will be my last film.
I'm going to retire.
Thank you.
Just now, Actress Jung Hye In...
announced her retirement at the interview...
for the movie, "Mother".
- What? - What does that mean?
Gosh.
- Retirement? - What?
What was that about?
That can't be true.
I talked to them and sent them home.
Who do you work for?
Are you his employee?
Are you his employee or my manager?
I'm sorry.
I heard it had been all settled.
Don't you know how they'll keep airing the footage on TV?
They'll air the footage and talk about Hyun Woo...
Are you awake?
I'm hungry.
You're hungry.
Hye In, I need to go get your wardrobe.
Drink some water first.
Are you angry because I came here without telling you?
Is that why you said you won't work any more?
No.
I did that so I can be with you all the time.
Hyun Woo,
do you want to live in France with me?
(JUNG HO)
Are we emigrating?
Did Dad say we will?
What if...
you and I go without Dad?
Jung Ho.
When Hye In comes home,
you should have a talk with her calmly.
I told you, you had to persuade Hye In first.
Shut it.
I'll go ahead with this project as it is...
at all costs.
Hye In isn't a pushover.
Look what she did when you cornered her.
You think I don't know her?
I knew she'd go behind my back.
This is what my dad told me at my high school graduation.
"You're now going to find out how life keeps betraying you."
"Both the world and the people."
"How will you live?"
"There are two ways."
"First,"
"trust them until the end despite everything..."
"and make them repay you for your trust."
"Second,"
"betray them first."
"Collect people's weaknesses."
What would you do?
- I would trust them. - Right.
You'd trust them. No,
you trusted them.
The documentary series you planned,
people said it'll be hard but you persuaded them.
You probably thought I'd trust you.
- I'm sorry. - There's no need.
I decided to live my life by thoroughly betraying people.
And that's exactly what I did.
Joon Goo.
It isn't the time to worry about Hye In.
Think about the money your programme overused...
that you need to cough out, unpaid salaries, litigation expenses...
and the company's loss that left the studio strained.
I'll do what I can to be responsible...
Will you?
Be responsible...
for the lawsuit.
I already set it up with a legal team before you started.
You established an outsourcing company and produced it.
The company isn't responsible for not carrying out the contract.
Therefore, you're responsible for the unpaid salary.
You'll be caught for embezzlement.
- Jung Ho. - Do you get it now?
Hye In...
will have no choice but to do what I want.
By the way,
take a cab home.
(JUNG HO)
Why aren't you answering it?
Is this for me?
Hey.
You wanted to watch how the fake blood is made, right?
Now?
Can I take him for a minute?
You can go with Kyung Hoon. Wait, take your phone.
Kyung Hoon.
Bring him back in 20 minutes. I'll take a quick nap.
Take good care of him, please.
(JUNG HO)
(HYUN WOO)
Hyun Woo.
Hyun Woo, let's go now.
Where are you? Are you with Hyun Woo?
I'm at the set to pick Hyun Woo up.
Isn't Hyun Woo here?
I sent you to look after him.
Reporter Kim kept asking me questions.
I checked him coming in here though.
Did you all wrap things up?
Excuse me. Have you seen Hyun Woo?
He came here with the make-up staff with a large scar on his arm.
That guy is a part-time worker.
I sent all the part-timers home early.
I haven't seen him after that.
Hey, have you seen Hyun Woo?
Have you seen him?
- No, Sir. - No.
- Have you seen Hyun Woo? - No, I haven't.
- Hyun Woo! - Hyun Woo!
- Go over there. - Look over there.
- Hyun Woo! - Hyun Woo!
Hyun Woo!
(MUM, HE WANTS ME TO COME WITH HIM TO GO SOMEWHERE.)
(WATCH THIS ALONE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR SON TO GET HURT.)
Hye In, I couldn't find him.
Right.
He actually lost his phone, so he wants me to find it.
His dad took him.
Apologise to the crew members on my behalf...
and pay for their dinner.
Go to the dinner.
I'll meet you there later.
All right.
Are you going to be okay?
Of course.
Get going. I'll see you there.
(IF YOU REPORT THIS TO THE POLICE, HYUN WOO WILL DIE RIGHT AWAY.)
She's already dead.
She died on the first day she went missing.
Hello! I'm your broadcast jockey, Ji Yoon.
As always, I prepared many delicious dishes...
to show you all today.
Why didn't her mother report it to the police until three days later?
Her mum didn't worry because she used to stay out overnight often.
She happened to watch this video clip while playing a web game,
and it was her daughter.
My goodness.
The sauce is so runny, so it's getting too messy.
I should take a shower right after the show.
What was that?
No one is home right now.
What's going on? You guys are trying to trick me, right?
Stop it! I'm getting scared.
Let go of me!
Now, tell us.
- Sorry? - Why did I say she'd be dead?
Well, it's...
Usually, if missing persons are not found within three days...
Many people come back alive after being missing for weeks and months.
The suspect kidnapped the victim...
after checking that she was broadcasting online.
However, the suspect hasn't requested anything...
and hasn't tried to show it off through another broadcast.
That means the victim could've been killed accidentally...
Gosh, how impressive.
Is my guess right?
Do you think it is? You're trying too hard to put the puzzle together.
What if there's a possibility that she is alive?
Well...
She could've planned this to become more popular...
There is no body.
Until we see her dead body with our own eyes,
we must think that she's still alive.
What do you mean...
Why are you looking at me? Follow him.
Yes, Sir.
That one is crazy, too.
Why did he insist on working under that blockhead?
(JUNG HO)
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU.
- Jung Ho. - All right, fine.
You're stressed out, so you should rest at the hospital for a few days.
We can postpone the press conference by a bit.
That's not the problem.
- Hyun Woo is... - Stop using him as an excuse.
Don't you know how important today was for me and for the company?
Important enough to use Hyun Woo?
Hadn't you sent him here...
Hyun Woo?
I can certainly use him more if I want to.
Do as I say.
Your life will be just an empty shell without Hyun Woo.
If you don't want to lose him...
SG Group.
Your former in-laws.
What do you think will happen if they find out...
that he is their bloodline?
Let go.
Where are we going now?
Where do you think we're going?
- We should go to Coconut TV and... - We're going to her house.
I guess we can put in the request later.
Seung In.
I pestered the superiors to make me your partner.
Aren't you going to ask me why?
Because I'm the best at catching suspects.
Gosh, Seung In. Well, I should call you my mentor.
You really don't remember me?
I learned boxing at the gym in the shantytown seven years ago.
Yes! I'm that loser, the boy with no friends.
I'm the one who got severely beaten up on the first day.
I hit your face with my head and made two of your teeth fall out.
I don't really remember that.
How are you still alive by the way?
Thanks to you, I got out of being bullied...
and worked so hard to become a police officer.
I also sent you a Christmas card every year.
You really don't remember me?
I try to forget pointless things.
Goodness. What do you remember if you don't remember these things?
Victims' faces...
and suspects' faces.
Suspects' faces.
Have you ever met your daughter's boyfriend?
No, I haven't. He got her all excited, though.
She said that he would help her make a television debut...
because he has connections in the industry.
She's gotten foolishly vain from dating all these stupid punks.
Gosh, where is she now...
Why didn't you report her missing for three days, then?
Do you know of anyone who has a burn scar like this?
It could be a relative, neighbour or a store owner in your area.
Has she mentioned his address or his phone number before?
Did he do it?
Do you have phone numbers of her close friends?
Or do you know where she goes when she leaves home?
She usually goes to the internet cafe.
But I couldn't find her there this time.
Her close friends also haven't seen her since that day.
(MAY 22, LAN CHAT, SINCHON, 300 DOLLARS)
It looks like a random get-together.
If you hear from anyone or remember anything that could help us,
please call us right away.
Bring her hard drive.
Okay.
Ma'am, you can't park there.
Officer.
Oh, aren't you Jung Hye In?
(WHY DID YOU GO TO THE POLICE STATION? HYUN WOO WILL DIE...)
(IF YOU MAKE A REPORT. GO HOME AND WAIT.)
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I'll come back another time.
Who are you?
I'm asking who you are.
Stop right there! Stop!
(LIVE REALITY SHOW, "WANTED", THE PROLOGUE)
Hye In is sitting with the director,
but she's thinking about something else.
She is mentally preparing herself to announce her retirement.
She's wondering whether she should be honest about her feelings...
or just say what would please people.
The director's voice fades out as he speaks,
and Hye In is torn with two pieces of paper in her hands.
The reporters start asking questions,
and Hye In says, "I don't think I can do it."
Then it segues into a scene where people laugh.
- Hye In announces her retirement. - I'll be retiring after this film.
(HYE IN ANNOUNCES HER RETIREMENT.)
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU.
You wanted to watch how the fake blood is made, right?
Bring him back in 20 minutes.
Make a live broadcast reality show where you are the host.
It has to air at 10pm every night, and there must be 10 episodes.
You'll be given a mission on each show.
If you accomplish the mission,
I'll send you proof which shows that Hyun Woo is safe.
I will return Hyun Woo to you safely after all 10 episodes are broadcast.
Mum!
(THE FIRST SHOW MUST AIR IN TWO DAYS ON THE COMING SATURDAY.)
The first show must air in two days on the coming Saturday.
You must accomplish the given mission.
If the show doesn't air or if you fail to accomplish the mission,
Hyun Woo will die.
If the viewership drops below 20 percent,
he will get hurt.
Make a trailer first.
I'll send you the first mission when the trailer airs.
She is mentally preparing herself to announce her retirement.
She's wondering whether she should be honest about her feelings...
or just say what would please people.
- It's Jung Hye In! - Hello!
Could I take one photo with you?
Hye In.
You should report this to the police.
No.
He's watching everything.
From what happened yesterday to my plan to retire, he knew everything.
Have you talked to Jung Ho? What did he say?
He's Hyun Woo's dad, though.
Hyun Woo?
I can certainly use him more if I want to.
Do as I say.
Your life will be just an empty shell without Hyun Woo.
If you don't want to lose him...
SG Group.
Your former in-laws.
What do you think will happen if they find out...
that he is their bloodline?
Other people may not know him well, but you know how he is.
Hye In. I'm sorry to say this,
but I can't do this.
I'm sorry that I can't be better than this.
Joon Goo.
- I... - Well...
Even if I wanted to do it,
I don't have enough power.
Well,
there is one person who can make this happen.
(THE ACTRESS, JUNG HYE IN, ANNOUNCED HER RETIREMENT.)
Dong Wook, wait!
You can't walk in here during rehearsals.
We'll take a 10-minute break!
I apologise. Let's take a break for 10 minutes.
Dong Wook.
I'm stressed out to death, too. Don't do this to me.
Why are you stressed out?
You got a super popular show at its peak.
You should be dancing around in excitement.
Why are you here?
They notified me that I was let go the day before the shoot.
So I...
wasn't able to say goodbye...
to my successor and my dear crew members...
as well as all the cast members...
whom I've been working with.
That's why.
What...
(IF HE BLOWS UP, I WON'T TAKE THE BLAME.)
Sit down.
Eat.
You like taking things for free.
Did I take your show on purpose?
- I was told... - I know...
you had no choice.
But I'm still your mentor.
Even if I were a complete jerk,
you could've given me a call, no?
Idiot.
Good luck. I hope it's a success.
I didn't know before,
but my entire life...
was really small.
I'm not here about us.
I have a favour to ask.
Hyun Woo was kidnapped.
The kidnapper sent me this.
(WANTED)
You should go to the cops. Why did you bring it to me?
Read it.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU.
What's your husband doing?
You're the only one who can do this show.
I can't do it either.
You said long time ago,
that rather than a funny, shallow show,
you want to do a show that is so influential...
that a viewer may even want to commit suicide. Remember?
That was ancient history.
I heard you left the studio.
I heard people hate you so you can't even produce.
This can be your comeback.
Find someone else.
I'll do anything you say.
I'll laugh and cry if you tell me to.
I'll strip, dance,
play dead, anything.
Get up.
I'll make this show the best.
I'll make sure you get the best commercials.
I'll get you the best ratings.
Weren't we talking about your son?
Exactly!
I'll do anything to get Hyun Woo back,
so just make this show happen,
no matter what.
Please.
Please help me.
Please save my Hyun Woo.
When can we coordinate three?
Then split up and meet them individually.
What about the deposit?
That'll take too long. Let's meet and get it as an advance.
You can't do that. You'll get ripped off.
What?
You scared me.
I'm looking for the rat who ripped off my kids.
Have you been ripped off?
You know. He's nice at first, but once you go in,
he's totally abusive.
Someone with a burn scar on his arm.
He's a total pro.
Let me know if you were ripped off. I'll get your money back too.
He's my friend Ji Yoon's boyfriend.
He dated me first, but they totally hit it off.
Let me take a picture.
Do you know his name? His number?
Is this...
his user ID?
I'm not sure,
but I think so.
- You're a cop, aren't you? - Yes.
Call the police.
They'll find out once the show airs.
Do you think...
Hyun Woo is still alive?
He has to be.
He needs to give me proof of life while the show is on air.
I'll do it.
Not for you.
I'm curious...
if this show is really possible.
UCN is our only option.
Its president, Song Jung Ho, is Hyun Woo's dad.
Tell me why I must spend money in doing this show.
Not as Hyun Woo's dad, but as UCN's president.
Is being Hyun Woo's dad insufficient?
The best ratings received by Jung Hye In's drama is 38 percent.
The best ratings I received...
was for a show during an odd hour but...
That's network television.
What can a retired actress...
and a fired director do?
UCN isn't so great either.
It's being sued for unpaid wage violations and stock prices dropped.
And you're being investigated for tax evasion.
It's a great opportunity for you.
Send in Choi Joon Goo.
Those are problems that can be solved, and I have solutions.
Come in.
This show...
will make money.
There will be four commercial breaks.
If you shorten the shows before and after, you can add more.
If you consider reruns, the commercial times add up.
The viewers will wonder if we can find the child...
and what the next mission will be.
Ratings will keep climbing.
We can use product placement, too.
It'll help UCN with its current financial troubles...
Okay.
Act like an independent show.
Sure.
Put your own team together.
Use only freelancers.
Every night at 10pm, starting this Saturday.
I'll give it to you.
Are we done?
I'll be...
the executive producer.
Fine with me.
Are you sure?
Find someone else for the lawsuit.
A crazy show like this needs one person who's sane.
Must that...
be you?
If everything crumbles,
someone must take the fall.
You're an opportunist.
Okay.
Even if you had lied that you'd do the show for Hyun Woo,
you could've gained everything that follows.
I guess it's because you're not his real dad.
You know,
words are powerful.
You need to talk like that for things to work.
And you use a mask...
when you're the weaker one.
I get it.
What?
Why Hye In...
didn't tell you first.
I asked for three shots.
Why are you being so nice?
How have you been?
Work with me.
Where?
UCN.
I won't work for them.
They're being sued for owing backwages.
Do they have money for a new show?
How many shows are you working on?
- Four. - Do you sleep?
Five to six times a day, half an hour to an hour each time.
How much do you make for that?
Why do you care? Will you give me that much?
I'll give you more. I'll pay any fines you have to pay, too.
But you must quit everything and only work on this.
Wow. You're so tough.
I'm more excited than when a younger guy proposed to me.
Let's do it.
I don't want to work with you, either.
It was okay with me.
That's because I don't expect much from people.
That's why I want to work with you.
What is it?
Let me hear it.
I'll bring Hye In. I'll see you at the meeting.
Park Bo Yeon?
1991...
You're 26.
Where is this college?
- In Gangneung. - Is that where you're from?
No, I'm from Seoul.
Then why did you go here?
I didn't do well in school.
You don't seem dumb.
You won a national hacker competition during high school.
You should've gone into IT.
That's for fun.
I quit then, so I don't know the new technology.
You were a BJ for Coconut TV and produced an independent film.
Can you work a camera?
Yes, although I'm a beginner.
But I'll do my best.
You know what this show is about, right?
Yes. I will do my best...
to help find Hyun Woo.
That's for the police to do.
We have to do whatever the kidnapper instructs.
- I'll make a good show... - That's my job.
I don't expect much.
Just follow orders and keep up.
Okay.
I'll see you at the meeting.
I'll see you later.
(LIVE REALITY SHOW "WANTED")
People will flip out once the show airs.
The police will pressure us, too.
Mr Song can stop that.
There's a limit to that, though.
We need to frame it as the entire nation searching for Hyun Woo.
A child's life is at stake, and you can't ignore the media.
20 percent viewership.
We need to use the trailer to gain viewers for the first episode.
We have the video from the kidnapper of Hyun Woo tied up, right?
Why don't we circulate that on Twitter and Facebook?
It'll be shocking and draw people's attention.
Are you on Facebook?
Dong Wook.
What?
Are you trying to find my son or use him?
Circulate what?
Draw their attention?
You said you'd do anything I say.
If you're upset about this, why did you bother begging me?
If you can't control your emotions, you don't need to attend meetings.
We'll take care of it.
I'll give you a script later. Get out.
Go easy on her.
You stay.
If we don't do it now, it'll be harder for her later.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by VIU.
Hye In, that's not what Dong Wook meant.
We'll throw out all sorts of ideas during meetings.
He did that because he knew it would be hard for you to hear.
You know that.
I'm fine.
I'll go back later.
I heard Kim Ji Hoon will be on "Kiss and Talk" tonight.
Really?
Wow. I bet a lot of people will watch, then.
Isn't "Kiss and Talk" the best variety show right now?
Who does a live talk show?
They ask risque questions intentionally, too.
There are plenty of worse shows in other countries.
Please...
if you'd help me...
If you'd forgive me...
Don't go, Mum.
Sleep with me.
Sorry, but I have a shoot.
Then don't turn off the light.
I keep having nightmares.
You can't sleep well with the lights on.
Let's do this.
Hyun Woo, who is the strongest among them?
Iron Man.
Correct.
Check under your pillow. I left you a gift.
Really?
It's Iron Man!
Yes!
I'll help you.
Hurry.
He'll protect you for me.
Can you sleep well, now?
Lie down.
Two minutes.
Full cut.
Have a seat.
We were shocked.
- You didn't know either, did you? - No, I didn't.
Hye In called us when she heard you'd be on the show.
Hi.
What? Okay.
Hye In, you recently announced your retirement out of the blue.
What brings you here today?
I heard this show has the highest viewership.
You must be switching to entertainment, not retiring.
Hye In?
The truth is...
I've been wanting to say this to everyone...
ever since I retired that day.
That day...
my son Hyun Woo...
was kidnapped.
Do you even think about finding him?
That's how you get a happy ending.
Why do you want to know how I feel?
You only need to find Hyun Woo.
Park Se Young, a parcel for you.
It'll air tonight, but we don't have a mission.
Maybe the culprit didn't want to do this show from the start.
A delivery man?
- Get in quickly. - Get out of the way.
Who are you? Hey, stop.
Let's go easy.
I'm not a weirdo. I'm a reporter.
I'm Inspector Cha Seung In from Gangnam Police Station.
I want you do come to the scene and identify a few things.
Where's my Hyun Woo?
Your son isn't here.
- Did you find her? - I did, but...
You should pretend or something.
A kid could get killed and the show might not air. It's an emergency!
Mum, I'm scared.
Hyun Woo.
