You're awake, right?
Your heart rate indicates that you're awake.
You're nocturnal. Why are you up with everyone else?
Are you really going to work at the newspaper company?
You may end up rotting in prison, you stubborn little mule.
I told you not to do it, didn't I?
Working in a company with other people means your face will be exposed.
The more people remember your face, the riskier it is for you.
Don't you know that?
Let's lie low for just three months.
The detectives will move on after three months.
It will soon become an unsolved case, so...
You stubborn mule.
Ms. Jo.
Detectives are always busy. They have plenty of other cases.
That girl, Chae Yeong-sin, is the perfect bait.
It feels like winter.
The fish is definitely nibbling.
I need to find out if this fish
is the one who killed Ko Seong-cheol and framed me for it,
or if there is someone hiding behind this fish.
It will take four days at most.
If I don't catch anything by then, I'll leave right away.
What do you think?
Do I look like Reporter Park Bong-su now?
Goodness.
Lose the glasses.
Your bare face is your disguise.
Okay.
Don't let them see who you really are.
Don't do anything to stand out.
If someone curses you, just listen.
If someone hits you, just get hit!
If a superior gives you orders, always answer, "Yes."
Yes?
You will write 60 articles a day.
You will do it quickly.
Write articles?
You want me to write 60 newspaper articles every day?
Me?
Here.
-Do you see these live issues? -Yes.
Write articles using these search terms.
Write 6 articles for each search term, a total of 60 newspaper articles.
You can copy piece by piece from other articles.
Come up with headlines that can grab people's attention.
End of training.
Chief, I wrote two versions of the article.
One is catchy, and the other is sexy.
Just choose whichever you prefer.
Please take a look.
This is awesome.
Please publish it. Just once.
If you want it to be published so much, just post it on your blog.
You know I don't do things like that.
Really?
Let's use this opportunity to create a blog then.
What would be a good title for your blog?
I have one. "Reporter Chae Yeong-sin's Vomit."
What is this? Are you scared, chief?
You are scared.
You want me to catch celebrities like mice and squeeze information out of them,
but you're scared because this is a politician.
Hey.
Do you think this is even worth getting scared about?
Look at this. Look.
She's not a star.
She's only an actress-in-training who was raped once.
-She wasn't just-- -But...
she neither committed suicide nor was she murdered.
How is this newsworthy?
Are you saying that you will only get interested
if someone dies?
Of course. Yes.
Wow, Chief Jang Byeong-se. Where are your morals?
When you go home and your kids call you "Daddy,"
won't you feel ashamed?
Watch your mouth. You're walking on thin ice.
All due respect, chief. Please...
Please let me sleep.
You can't go to sleep if I don't publish this?
Are you too fired up with a sense of justice?
No.
This actress-in-training who tried to kill herself
is staying in my house.
More precisely, in my room, next to my bed.
So?
I can't sleep when someone is in the same room.
It's been days now. I'm going crazy.
That's why this article needs to be published,
so she can take it to the police and not threaten,
but pressure them to start investigating.
And once that starts, we can keep her mind off of suicide.
That means I can send her back home,
and I will finally be able to get some sleep.
Do you understand?
-Yeong-sin. -Yes, chief?
Kim Ui-chan is a Seoul mayoral candidate.
We can't use his real name.
We can call him "K". Let's use his initial.
The only real name we can use is hers. Do you want to just use her name?
-That's not fair. -Exactly.
So, don't do it.
And you, get over here. Come here.
-My ear! Watch it! -Shut it.
You.
Just focus on training your junior assistant, got it?
Good day.
Come one, chief.
Darn it.
You better move away from me now.
You piece of trash copy machine!
You punk! You jerk!
You worthless piece of scrap! We need to throw this out.
What the...
I'll hold on to your phone for you.
We can't risk the conversation in this room being recorded or leaked.
That's the rule.
Search thoroughly.
I'm actually hiding a gun.
-Hey, Mun-ho. -Mun-ho.
I'm a fan of yours.
Do you know how much we wanted to meet you?
Wow, you're much better looking in person.
It's nice to meet you.
My brother said he would cut my allowance if I didn't come.
It's an honor to meet everyone who works behind the scenes.
Mun-ho, here. This way.
Well...
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
We invited a chef from France.
He came in first in some cooking contest.
He's good.
I'm scared that big names like you
invited a no-name reporter like me for dinner.
May I first ask what this is about?
You're indeed a reporter.
You're different from politicians.
See?
He seeks facts straight off the bat.
What could those facts be?
Here is the fact.
We've picked you, Mun-ho.
They want to throw you into the political ring.
Not me.
I want you to come to my company like I've always wanted.
No way, I won't stand for that.
If Mun-ho is available in the market, my company has priority.
Let's stop the gibberish.
What do you say, Mun-ho?
Would you enter the political world as our media representative?
We think you are perfect for the job.
You're a star, and you're handsome.
That is very important.
What is more important is your defiant attitude.
You make such bold statements with conviction.
That's why the younger generation is rooting for you.
We're not so good with the young people.
Mun-ho, you can win them over for us.
I have a question.
When you say, "us,"
who do you exactly mean?
Mr. Seo.
What should we have Mun-ho to do first?
How about mayoral candidate, Kim Ui-chan's campaign?
That's a good idea.
He will have his candidacy announcement ceremony soon.
Start by showing your face there.
Right. You must show this face often.
That way, we can benefit from having a start reporter with us.
Mun-ho.
Trust us.
We will be the platform to your success in this world.
Let's aim for that high position.
Us, together.
Then, I'll appoint him as a spokesperson for Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan's campaign.
Good.
Let's drink. Mun-ho.
Thank you for coming all the way to Seoul.
It's my case. If there is any progress, I should come.
I could've e-mailed the file to you.
I wanted to hear it
from the person who has been chasing him for five years.
So, is he really Healer?
Let's go.
The victim, Ko Seong-cheol, landed at Incheon Airport,
took the shuttle, and transferred to the subway.
But there was a problem with the subway that day.
The train stopped for a few minutes
between Gayang Station and Jung-ri Station.
From what we know,
someone hacked into the system and stopped the train.
What?
You can hack the subway system?
The station's security cameras, where this train came from,
were temporarily disabled.
And at the same time, at the next station...
These guys...
They are Double S Guard's men.
Double?
What is that?
They are messengers like Healer.
They're probably the largest messenger group in the nation.
So, are they working with the Healer?
No, I don't think so.
It looks like they fought over Ko Seong-cheol.
It's so complicated.
How did you find that out?
Let's take a look.
I found this while looking into social media sites.
This is a video taken by a passenger on that train.
They must have filmed it when
the subway came to a sudden stop in between stations.
This is the murder victim, Ko Seong-cheol.
I believe this is Healer next to him.
And...
They were being chased.
Those men are from Double S Guard.
E-mail me this video.
-Let me take a closer look. -Yes, sir.
A hacker can even stop the subway.
That's impressive.
But is this police station safe?
No hacker has broken through the police firewall.
Unless there's an insider, of course.
Gosh, Yoon Dong-won.
You annoyingly diligent punk.
When is he going to retire?
MS. JO
Yes, boss.
Healer turned off his tracker again.
You need to find him.
Don't do anything once you find him.
You just need to watch his back.
Yes, I know that punk hates it when someone is behind him.
But the situation is very dangerous now.
I keep getting a headache.
First, find the girl, Chae Yeong-sin,
since he said he would be around her for a while.
Chief, I have a question.
Don't ask questions while eating. Just eat.
Why were you fired from your old newspaper company a long time ago?
Guys, watch how much she drinks.
She's starting to lose it.
You were fired for writing an article that your boss told you not to, right?
You got fired for fighting for the truth, right?
Stop her.
-Hey! -What a waste.
You made me spill it.
And that was not that long ago.
I'm not that old, for crying out loud.
If it wasn't a long time ago,
shouldn't there be something alive and squirming inside you?
Did an alien lay an egg inside me or something?
What do you mean alive and squirming?
I'm trying to be serious here. Stop cutting me off.
That's what I'm saying.
Don't try to be serious when we're eating, and just eat.
Here you go.
-What on earth. -You eat.
Hey, stop her.
Our chief has turned into a grumpy old man.
That's why you're afraid of political articles.
You can only write about love affairs.
This is making me sad.
This is such a tragedy. I'm so sad.
I need someone young, someone fresh.
Where is Park Bong-su? Where's my junior assistant?
He will be here soon. He needed to stop by somewhere.
What? Why?
Without his direct superior's permission?
You look just like your dad.
After your dad passed away like that,
looking after you was hard for me.
You like braised potatoes.
Eat.
You should eat too, Mother.
I made your favorite grilled mackerel.
Mom, are you going somewhere?
Yes, I'm going somewhere.
Where are you going?
Somewhere kind of far away.
When are you coming back?
I probably...
won't be coming back.
Why not?
I'm sorry.
Then, can I visit you instead?
I'm sorry.
Eat. I'll leave after you finish.
Don't you dare sneak out of your after-school class.
I'll be waiting for you when you come out, okay?
-Answer me. -I said okay.
Hello?
I don't know who invented shaved ice,
but I want to send that person a letter of appreciation.
What grade is your son in, Mom?
He's a senior soon.
He just hates to study.
He won't even listen to me. He's making me age quickly.
What about your husband? Is he drinking less?
Him? Drink less?
My goodness.
He has too many reasons to drink. He would rather eat less.
But what brings you here, Jeong-hu?
This photo.
You said they are dad's friends, right?
You still have this?
I only have a few photos of him. This is one of them.
What about them?
Do you know them well?
Not really.
They are your dad's college buddies.
I think he worked at the same newspaper as your dad.
I think his wife was a reporter too.
This woman is married to this man.
Do you know where they are now or what they do?
No. This was so long ago.
Look how young your dad looks here. I'm so old now.
I fell for this face.
Do you have any of dad's stuff?
I don't think so.
You know I can't have things like that now.
Is that so?
I'll take a look.
-Jeong-hu. -What?
Why did you order red beans when you don't like them?
I like red beans.
Why do you always push them over to me then?
Because you like them, Mom.
-Please! -We have a lot of food left.
-But you have to go. -No, just one more...
I'm sorry I'm late.
What, it's over already?
No, they are all inside. You should go in.
Oh, it's my junior assistant.
Your name is Park Bong-su! Bong-su!
Are you leaving?
Yeong-sin is a bit drunk.
How many times should I tell you? I'm not drunk at all.
I have a really high tolerance.
My wish is to get drunk, but it never happens.
-How annoying. -You are drunk.
Right, did I tell you this?
The human brain consists of three layers.
She has been talking about dinosaurs for a while.
That means she is really drunk.
Then I'll take her home. You should go back in.
In the middle of the three layers, way on the inside is...
There is still so much food left.
-Let's go. -So...
-You want to hear my theory, right? -Yes, sure.
-You want to hear it? -Yes, the dinosaurs.
The chief said we don't know what trouble she may cause,
so don't let her out of your sight until she's in bed!
Okay? Good luck!
So, in the middle of the human brain...
Look, like this.
It's the size of a ping-pong ball.
That is the dinosaur's brain.
It's in your brain too, mister.
So, why is it there?
That's for our survival instinct.
This is the important part, so listen. Focus!
Concentrate.
Taxi!
Just a minute.
Ma'am! Let's go!
You get angry and fight with them.
-You step on them. -Hey!
You hit them and kill them!
-As long as you survive, isn't that right? -Ma'am.
Ma'am, the taxi is here, so...
Let go of me.
-Let's go. -Let go, you punk.
-Let's go. Come on. -Wait. Hey.
I'm not done, you rotten dinosaur.
Let's talk about dinosaurs inside the cab.
Hey, Yeong-sin! Hey!
Hey!
Look at her. Her eyes lost focus.
Chi-su, Yeong-sin is wasted.
How much did you drink?
Dad.
I think about dinosaurs every now and then.
Don't you feel bad for them? They didn't have any choice, right?
You're completely wasted.
Who are you?
-Hello, I am-- -Oh, this dude?
He is my junior assistant.
His name is Bong-su.
Bong-suk.
-Ma'am... -Hey, Bong-suk
Right!
Why do you want to go home
Hey. Wait. Would you get her?
-Let's go, Yeong-sin. -Why? Why now...
Bong-suk, what will we do About these drinks?
Wow, this lady is very strong.
Well...
Hello, I'm Park Bong-su.
I'm Yeong-sin's direct subordinate.
That is why I brought her home today.
I live way out in Incheon and given the time,
the buses and trains have stopped running.
I listened to her talking about dinosaurs for 40 minutes on the cab ride here.
And the cab fare was pretty hefty...
And I don't have much money...
So, may I sleep here for the night?
You're her direct subordinate?
Yes.
Does that mean you'll be stuck with her on a daily basis?
That's how I'll learn from her, I guess?
What? Wait, we just met.
Where are we going?
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Please don't kill me.
Wait! I'll never do that again.
Oh, the bed...
-Hey, Ms. Joo. -Yes?
Did I tell you this?
When people are born,
they only have a dinosaur's brain in their heads.
Did I tell you that?
Tell me about it tomorrow. Let's sleep for now.
Then, another part of the brain develops, which is a mammal's brain.
That part is completed during puberty.
It controls emotions.
The pain that you feel now
and this bad feeling I get when I look at you...
You're drunk. You should go to sleep.
There is an important thing left.
The final part of the brain develops, which is only seen in humans.
That is a primate's brain.
The frontal lobe.
This...
This is what makes people different from dinosaurs and other animals.
By the time a woman hits 25, it gets fully developed.
But I passed 25 a long time ago.
So...
What are you doing?
Do I look drunk to you?
You reek of alcohol.
Fine, let's say I'm drunk.
Let's cause some trouble.
Only humans cause trouble when they're drunk.
Please don't tell Yeong-sin
what we are about to tell you.
Okay, I understand.
I won't let her know.
Since you're with Yeong-sin all the time,
I have a favor to ask you.
You call this asking for a favor?
No.
I have a few warnings for you.
-There are at least three. -Three?
-First. -Yes, sir?
Don't let her drink.
That is difficult.
She is super quick at grabbing a bottle.
Especially...
when she talks about dinosaurs,
that's a warning sign.
Well, she doesn't drink that often.
Maybe three or four times a year?
But every time she gets drunk, she causes trouble.
Big trouble.
-Second. -Okay, second.
Don't let her open cans.
Cans, sir?
She tends to cut her finger when she opens cans.
One out of three times, she draws blood.
-And never... -Yes, sir? Never what?
Never, under any circumstances, let her see violence.
Violence?
Something happened to her
when she was young.
So, if she sees violence...
Well, she...
She'll start to seize.
I see.
She will have difficulties breathing.
What? Difficulties in breathing?
-It's post-traumatic stress-- -Quiet!
She gets chest pains and other respiratory symptoms.
So...
she won't be able to breathe properly if she sees violence
even if it's only a glimpse?
Don't try to find out anything more.
Anyway,
never let her go anywhere near anything violent.
Please keep her away.
Yes, sir.
I'm asking you for a favor.
Of course, that's a favor.
-Yes, do us this favor. -Yes, this is a favor too.
There are so many books.
When did you first report it?
That was the 17th of last month.
On the 17th of last month, Actress J...
reported businessman H to the police
for sexual assault.
I'm going to be graphic from here on. Is that okay?
I told you, I just want you to tell the truth.
SHE WAS DRUGGED...
SHE WAS FORCED TO PERFORM SEXUAL FAVORS
"It turns out,
among the clients that H forced her to perform sexual favors for,
is a person who is
none other than...
Assemblyman K of the ruling party."
What about his name?
I gave you their names. Why aren't you using them?
Then I have to reveal your name too.
Do it. I don't care about my name.
I don't want to.
Why not? Are you afraid?
Yes, I'm terrified.
Once your name is out there, what will you do then?
Don't you care what happens to you next?
Do you want to go down with them? That is not fair.
They alone should get punished for what they did.
SEOUL MAYORAL CANDIDATE
"K" HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH FORCING SEXUAL FAVORS...
Dinosaurs, mammals, and humans.
THE ARTICLE HAS BEEN SENT
Wait.
Darn it. Who is that woman?
Why are there so many women?
Hold on.
What the...
Boss?
Wait, the thing is...
Did you really think
that you could tail me?
No, that's not it. What happened was...
Here.
From now on, I need you to tail him and not me.
JEONG-HU
NO TITLE
Who is he?
Don't you watch the news? He's a big shot reporter.
Tail him 24 hours a day and report to me his every move.
But the boss said that she was nervous about you
and that you turned off your tracker.
I'm not tailing you, but...
I was only watching your back.
Hey, excuse me.
Hey, miss.
Seriously. Hey, you.
That's my spot.
Hey.
You said you can't sleep with someone in the same room.
I am that someone.
Excuse me.
Hey.
I'm right next to you.
So you should go back to your room and...
You shouldn't do this
to a stranger.
One, two, three.
-Cheese! -Cheese!
Good.
Here.
So, are you really the first to buy a house among us?
Are you jealous?
You're so proud of me, right?
Goodness, I'm dying from jealousy.
Congratulations. You have a beautiful house.
Half of it was through loans.
We're in financial trouble now.
Where is Ji-an?
She was playing with Jeong-hu. Where did she go?
I don't know.
What? I'm going to kill him!
Hey!
We must protect our source, so we can't tell you.
We can't tell you who K is either.
No, Yeong-sin is not in.
Where is Yeong-sin? I thought someone saw her.
Isn't she in? I thought someone saw her!
I didn't see her.
Take it down. Take down the article.
Let's take it down first. This is very bad.
The view count is insane. We are in first place.
Who cares about the view count right now?
It's a top search term too.
"Actress sexual exploitation. Assemblyman K."
Where is Yeong-sin?
They're looking for you out there.
It's a madhouse right now.
Hey. Seriously?
What should we do?
This is what the article says.
"Assemblyman K of the ruling party, favored to be next mayor of Seoul."
It's obviously Assemblyman Kim Ui-chan.
Is Mun-ho in?
Yes, he just went into the editing room.
-Listen carefully. -Yes, I'm listening.
It will be a mess if Mun-ho gets involved in this.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll assign something else to Mun-ho.
That's where you come in.
Your mission is to prevent him from looking at anything else.
But chief, how could I dare stop him?
I don't think I can do it.
You said you're from the suburbs, right?
Yes, from Chuncheon.
If you can't do anything here, do you want to transfer there?
No, ma'am. I'll on it.
That editing isn't urgent, is it?
Why?
We got a tip about Chairman Yang.
The Prosecutors' Office is starting to take action.
They found evidence that he hid his assets.
You know many prosecutors. Call them up.
Why?
The assets that he hid are art pieces.
You know we're doing a special on artworks this week.
I want to include this with it.
You came all the way to this shabby room just to tell me that?
You could have told me during the meeting or called me to your office.
This isn't like you.
Take care of it for me. I'll tell the cameraman.
Jong-su, why are you tagging along with her?
Pardon?
You guys don't usually hang out together.
Well...
The thing is...
"K"" HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH FORCING SEXUAL FAVORS...
Is this about Kim Ui-chan?
-Is it a respectable paper, not a tabloid? -Ignore it.
How far did it spread? Did others join the party?
It's Kim Ui-chan.
-It'll be forgotten in a day, so-- -This reporter is hiding the victim.
That's why he wrote it with such confidence.
Where did this come from?
Kim Mun-ho.
-Which one is it? -Pardon?
It's a small online newspaper. The name is weird too.
I think it's called Sunday, or Someday, or something like that.
I said ignore it.
Don't get involved.
The politics division will take care of it, so...
So, you just take care of the story about Chairman Yang.
Find out just how much artwork he had and...
We've been asking for cooperation from the media,
so it will be under control shortly.
But there are those we can't control.
What if it spreads to those people?
We can't let it spread to them.
It's unverified anyway.
It's obviously a ploy to attack the next mayor of Seoul.
Yes.
You're right. It's just a ploy.
We can't allow people to slander others based on groundless claims
and disturb the order of society.
We will take care of it.
I can't believe this.
What a disgrace.
Sexual favors? My goodness.
If my wife ever found out...
My gosh.
Regardless, people will bother you.
But rather than you,
I think Mr. Hwang is probably an easier target.
Don't worry about me.
I will take all these secrets to my grave.
Mr. Hwang, watch your mouth.
-Pardon? -What secrets?
Are you keeping any secrets?
No, of course not.
You said that troublesome actress is missing, right?
Yes.
I'm sorry, sir.
Who is that reporter again?
Her name is Chae Yeong-sin from Someday News.
Look into her.
She's probably hiding that woman.
Bring that woman and silence the reporter.
You figure out how.
I'll take care of it.
Hello.
It's him, right? Right?
Awesome.
Take a look at this.
What's the view count?
It's so loud.
Reporter Chae Yeong-sin is not at her desk.
Reporter Chae Yeong-sin is not at her desk right now.
Hang up. It's so noisy.
He said to hang up. Okay.
Gosh, what is wrong...
Reporter Chae Yeong-sin.
Yes, I'm Reporter Chae Yeong-sin. That's right.
May we speak for a minute?
I'm your fan.
How could he?
Hand over that story to me.
You probably won't be able to protect that story or your source.
It's too much of a waste if it gets buried.
So leave it to me.
My goodness.
I didn't think he would be like that.
I'm a good judge of character,
but I never thought he would be such a hypocrite and fake.
But why are you following me?
Sorry?
Well, I left something at your house.
Kim Mun-ho.
Is that how you became a star?
By stealing stories of unknown reporters and making it your own?
Is that how you made it? My gosh.
When did you start speaking down to me?
Me?
I would never do that, ma'am.
What should I do about this feeling of betrayal?
What should I do? Gosh.
That source is probably in danger right now.
Can't you tell whether or not she's in danger?
You don't understand what is going on, do you?
You have no clue what you've done or how things are going turn out,
do you?
How dare he talk down to me?
That arrogant piece of...
I can't believe I idolized someone like that.
Ms. Jo.
Hey, you mutt! Where are you?
I turned on my tracker. Hack into the security camera up there.
Why?
What's going on? What is it?
Healer, you need to run.
Those are Sang-su's guys.
They are the guys whom you fought with last time.
Your face is exposed.
What are you doing? I said run!
Reporter Chae Yeong-sin?
Who are you?
That's none of your business.
You know Joo Yeon-hui, right?
Hey, you should answer when someone asks a question.
-Who? -Joo Yeon-hui.
You know her.
All right, you're going to take us to Joo Yeon-hui now.
Do you understand?
-Hey, new guy. -Yes, ma'am?
I'll distract them, so you run.
Call the police.
Excuse me.
You seem to be mistaken.
What? Joo what?
Joo Yeon-hui?
If you tell me who that is, maybe I can...
You're really annoying.
Hey, get rid of him.
What are you doing?
That hurts!
I'll go, so stop.
Stop it! I'll go!
-I'm sorry! -Leave him alone.
I said I'm going! I'll go!
Come on.
Healer.
You didn't hit them back, right?
Good.
Now get out of there.
Something happened to her
when she was young.
She will have difficulties breathing.
It was too painful.
It was so painful that I considered killing myself.
It hurt terribly where I was hit.
A couple of my ribs were broken.
I called the police. They will be there in 10 minutes.
Get out of there.
Are you serious?
This is bad. This is really bad.
Healer showed up? Where?
Next to Chae Yeong-sin.
Just do as I instructed.
I can't resign.
This is so unfair.
Come to me if you can't handle it.
I sent you a picture.

From 1992 until now, we've been on the same side.
Do you know how much I was worried?
Do you like Yeong-sin that much?
That's the guy. It's Healer.
