Is anyone here?
Bong-su!
Bong-su.
Is that a little warmer?
You crash at my place whenever you feel like it.
I'm just asking for one night. This isn't fair.
I'm not leaving.
Are you not afraid of anything?
I'm not afraid of you.
Don't you know who I am?
You have no idea how much
I'm hiding from you.
I don't care.
Are you stupid?
Don't send me away.
If you send me away,
you'll cry for the rest of your life.
I...
might hurt you.
No.
You'd never hurt me. Ever.
Don't send me away.
Please don't.
I thought it was a dream.
I rarely dream when I sleep,
so I kept wondering why it was going on for so long.
I couldn't help but keep asking myself,
"Is this real or is it just a dream?"
Then another question crossed my mind.
"Is it okay if this is real?"
Seriously--
-Come on. It's cold. -It's not cold at all.
I said I'd give you a ride.
Don't leave until you finish everything I cooked.
You know I have a whole list to confront you about.
Okay. I got it.
Bye.
My goodness.
I'll get off at the next stop.
-You're unbelievable. -Please.
-You'll get off at the next stop, right? -Yes.
Okay.
Bye.
Go home and eat.
But Ms. Jo,
I get confused between what's real and what's fake.
My line of work requires me to be fake.
I hide my face and use a fake identity.
Whenever I meet someone, I can never be myself.
But...
when I'm with her, I have to be my true self.
But you know...
My true self?
Well, what is that?
Is there really such a thing?
Since when did you ponder about deep things like that?
-I know, right? -I'll say this for the 49th time.
Don't think.
-Whenever you think, you cause trouble. -Ms. Jo.
Reset the watch.
Thanks.
It's about time to replace the battery, so check it.
I'm going out.
Where are you going?
Well,
to find the real me.
He's losing it more and more.
It's not like I can reset him or something.
I guess it really is time to replace him.
You know,
I was worried about you.
It seems like Yeong-sin has been waiting for you too.
Did you call her?
She came to me.
Did you tell her
who you really are?
I never told her,
but she figured it out herself.
How much does she know?
I'm trying to decide how much to tell her.
But...
she doesn't ask me anything.
She doesn't ask me why I live this way, or how I got hurt.
She doesn't even ask...
what my real name is.
You like Ji-an, don't you?
That's why you couldn't tell her
who she is, who her father was,
and the story about your dad.
I said I'm thinking.
Then you should cut me some slack too.
It's because I like Myeong-hui and Ji-an too.
That's why I haven't been able to tell them.
Let's end the formalities here
and get to business now.
Sure.
-I want to avenge Master's death. -Okay.
And I want to clear my dad's name so that the whole world,
not just the ones who are involved, would know that he is innocent.
Of course.
-Anything else? -I need to know
when I can tell Yeong-sin...
that her biological mother is alive.
Don't you think
that would be when the truth wouldn't hurt
both her and Myeong-hui?
When would that be?
Both matters are related.
You said you would get to the bottom of it and find a way to get back at everyone
who is involved in this matter, right?
-I did. -Did you find a way?
I have thought about it, and there is only one way.
We should do just as your dad and Yeong-sin's dad did in the past.
The way I have only pretended to do all my life.
So, are you with me on this?
-Just like my dad did? -Yes.
-What's the success rate? -If you're with me, 50%.
What you asked earlier...
You're right. I like Yeong-sin.
I just wanted you to know that.
Kim Mun-sik began working for Boss in 1992 immediately after that incident.
After working under him for a few years, he went out on his own,
and Boss sent Assistant Oh to work for him.
Assistant Oh has several different names and identities,
one of which is a lawyer.
They have an interesting relationship.
You can consider Mun-sik and Assistant Oh as two sides of a coin.
He was a dear friend of mine.
I want to make everything as perfect as possible.
From the funeral to the columbarium, we'll prepare the best for him.
Assistant Oh does all the dirty work,
and Mun-sik remains an innocent gentleman.
Sometimes,
it seems like Mun-sik truly believes that he hasn't done anything wrong.
It's as if he really doesn't remember anything.
That's why I kept getting fooled too.
Is this the only picture we could find?
It wasn't easy for us
to get that picture from the police.
Master, I know you're not in there, but it still feels weird.
It may be just your ashes...
but I don't want to hand you over...
to that guy.
I'm busy these days, so later on, when I have a lot of time to kill,
I'll scatter your ashes somewhere nice.
Somewhere in the South Pacific. How does that sound?
This is the script for Kim Mun-sik's interview
that we will conduct during this week's ABS Spotlight.
I risked my life to get this information.
We'll confront him regarding seven of those topics.
This is similar to what we have prepared,
but I'm not sure if there's a certain line we shouldn't cross.
Why are you worried about that? We are not being censored, are we?
That's right.
I've been worried about censorship all my life, so it has become my habit.
-Jong-su. -Yes?
-Did you tip off your spy? -I did.
You leaked that we'll handle Kim Mun-sik's interview, right?
I said you're preparing something huge.
Did you scare them good?
Yes.
I think Kim Mun-sik has a connection in the cyber team.
The team will probably get involved.
So we should be thoroughly prepared.
Of course you'll ask me to get it done by tomorrow.
So I was going to say that it is impossible,
-but you won't even listen to me anyway... -Chae Yeong-sin.
Yes.
-You're meeting Detective Yoon Dong-won? -Yes.
We're meeting at 2:00 p.m.
-I'll be quick and assist with this story. -No. Stick to your story.
That will be the most important topic to cover.
-Pardon? -I hired a freelancer for that story.
He said he'll need some help today. Will you help him?
What kind of help?
Ask him yourself.
And Park Bong-su is taking a leave of absence.
A leave? For how long?
I heard he has to take care of personal matters.
It's always better to keep meetings short, so let's end it here.
Yeong-sin, follow me. Let's discuss how to tackle the story.
Okay.
A leave of absence? Is that leave with or without pay?
That is a very important matter.
Reporter Chae Yeong-sin?
I'm Seo Jeong-hu.
I'm the freelancer who needs your assistance.
I just need you to help me sneak into the police station
that you are having a meeting at.
What is your name again?
Seo Jeong-hu.
I was born in December 1987.
Do you want to know anything else?
Seo Jeong-hu?
Should I call you Mr. Seo Jeong-hu?
Or...
should I just call you by your first name?
I'm sorry...
for the late introduction.
We've finally met.
Yes, finally.
Nice to meet you.
-But... -Yes?
you deserve a beating.
You are hitting me too hard.
Let's go.
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
Is it okay for you to be here? It's a police station.
Don't you need to disguise yourself?
Shouldn't you wear a hat or cover your face?
I do it when it's necessary.
I use whatever I can at the scene.
That's how I work.
And this is my boss' latest product.
Put this on here and...
Okay, now say something.
Say something? Like what?
Again.
So, is Park Bong-su never coming back?
Is the volume too low?
I miss Park Bong-su!
This is a very sensitive device.
You don't need to talk into it.
No, just forget that you are wearing it.
If you're conscious of it, it will look more suspicious.
I'll figure out what the situation is when we're there, okay?
Bong-su.
Bong-su...
What the...
Don't mess it up.
Just a moment, please.
This is the front desk.
Yes, I understand.
May I see your ID, please?
IDENTIFICATION CARD
Go up to the third floor and ask for the cyber team.
Thank you.
Next, please?
Don't think about anything else.
Anything else? Like what?
Just do what you must do as a reporter.
I'll try.
If a dangerous situation arises...
-Hey. -Yes?
I'm at the National Police Agency.
There are police everywhere.
What danger could I be in here?
Do it right. You have to.
Are you done?
Okay, shall we get to work?
-Where to? -Go to the fourth floor and make a left.
The server room is at the end of the hall.
I'm sorry for making you come all the way here.
-Please. -Thanks.
We're in a state of emergency, so I can't leave the office.
I'm the one who's sorry. You're so busy.
So, this is the cyber team's office?
Why? Does it look too ordinary?
-No. -Would you like something to drink?
No, you're busy, so I'll keep it quick.
Sure. What were we going to...
Right.
Information exchange.
You are going to tell me about Hwang Je-guk's death.
And you will give me information on Healer.
Right.
We'll reset it at 3:15 p.m. Please be ready.
Get ready. Excuse me.
What is it? Is something wrong?
We're in the middle of segregating the server.
I'm sorry.
What was that? Segregating the server?
Yoon Dong-won!
That stubborn and inflexible idiot!
He must have freaked out after finding the backdoor I installed.
That means they will not allow anyone accessing the system
if they are outside of the station.
That's absurd!
Criminals are out there causing mayhem,
and cops have to crawl back to the station just to find a record?
What a load of nonsense!
Look, Ms. Jo.
Calm down.
Don't forget that we are not on the police's side.
So, now what?
Is it useless for us to plant the new backdoor?
Access any computer there for now.
Let's make one of the computers ours before they reset it.
Now, where were we?
Oh, we were talking about...
-Hwang Je-guk and Healer. -Right.
Didn't you say you didn't know much about Healer last time?
You believed that? Come on.
PORTAL SYSTEM
It's done.
What is this?
THIS WEB PAGE CANNOT BE LOADED
They cut off all the access from outside their network.
They won't let anyone in before they reset.
So, if this doesn't work, what's the next plan?
But there must be at least one that is connected to the outside.
If there is one, it must be Yoon Dong-won's computer.
I can't go there.
Yoon Dong-won and Yeong-sin are there.
We have four minutes until the reset.
If we can't get in before then, it's over. This plan will fail.
So, what you do you know about Healer?
Actually...
I have met Healer.
When?
About three times...
over the past two months.
How did you meet him?
Can you tell us what he looked like?
Well...
-That man! -Who?
The guy who just walked by the door!
Someone walked by?
There! That guy!
Wait, Reporter Chae! You, come with us!
Wait, Reporter Chae. Where are you going?
There! He's going downstairs. That's him.
I don't see anyone.
My hat. Hat...
Your hat?
3:14 P.M.
Okay! I'm in.
This is mine now.
-Reporter Chae. -That's strange. Where did he go?
Hey, look at me.
-Yes? -What is going on?
I thought it was him.
Him?
This guy I had a crush on. I thought it was him.
A crush...
Where did he go? He was just here.
He was just...
Miss, do you know what you just did?
I'm screwed, right?
Obstruction of justice, assisting in leaking confidential information--
How did I end up with a boyfriend like this?
-Look here. -This is just...
so much fun.
What? Did she just call me...
Am I her boyfriend? Gosh.
What a nice day.
I received Seo Jeong-hu's arrival and departure record.
It says that he arrived from Moscow on the 6th.
But...
But?
Take a look at this.
Our spy in the police department sent this.
He started working at Someday News before then.
Before returning from Russia.
He's even capable of fabricating arrival and departure history.
Then we can safely assume that this man in the picture is the one.
He's Healer.
Healer.
Seo Jeong-hu entered Someday News as Park Bong-su.
And Mun-ho acquired Someday News.
Ji-an was there as well.
What's was the name she uses now?
Chae...
Yeong-sin?
Here is Ms. Choi's call record
acquired by Double S guard.
Hello, I'm Reporter Chae Yeong-sin of Someday News.
May I speak with Ms. Choi Myeong-hui?
This is she.
Where is Seo Jeong-hu now?
He's taking time off from Someday News.
We're looking for him.
-And Ji-an? -She's following her daily routine.
At Someday News during the day, and Chae Chi-su's house at night.
You said Jeong-hu...
grew up alone without parents, right?
And Ji-an grew up in a house filled with ex-cons.
Yes, sir.
Then they probably never learned how to adapt to the society properly.
Do you plan to teach them a lesson?
I should.
That's the right thing to do.
Sergeant Park Ki-jung.
He's been working under Yoon Dong-won for two years.
I'll send his address to your navigation system.
Yeong-sin is still in the police station.
She thinks the police station is the safest place in Korea.
-Healer? -You know what I mean.
Master was killed in there.
Hey, kid.
Forget it. I need to go back and get her.
When will you get your head on straight?
Everything is going as planned, so please don't ruin it!
Darn it!
I should just go somewhere in the South Pacific and disappear.
So, you met him three times, but never saw his face?
The first time, he stole my bag, so I chased him.
-You chased Healer? -Exactly.
But I was caught right away.
He was holding me from behind like this.
What could a frail girl do? I just shook in fear.
I was so scared that I had a nightmare that night.
Good job. Stall a little bit longer.
I'm almost done.
The second time, I had my eyes covered like this.
That's when I received the video file.
You know, Hwang Je-guk's video.
Like this.
-I see. -When I met him for the second time...
INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
NO CALLER ID
ODONG APARTMENT BUILDING 101, UNIT 304
Damn it!
Excuse me.
There is a family portrait.
What is his family status?
He has a wife, a daughter, and a son.
They are in Canada right now.
He lives apart from his family.
You go through his computer.
For someone working in the cyber team, he's a bit too old-fashioned.
IDENTIFICATION CARD NAME: NAM DAL-JUNG
He seems to have several accounts under a fake name.
And...
here is the account number.
What is this?
There is a vial for some drug.
It doesn't look like some type of cold medicine.
BANK STATEMENT WIRE RECIPIENT: SEON HA-RA
REPORTER KIM MUN-HO
Yoon Dong-won speaking.
This is Kim Mun-ho.
I believe our reporter is with you right now.
Yes, Reporter Chae Yeong-sin is here.
We're having such a pleasant talk, time just flew by.
I'm sure I know more about Healer than she does.
Actually, I was considering whether to summon you as a witness
or go visit you in person.
At the morgue, you told me that you were very close
to the man who claimed himself to be Healer.
So I want to catch the one who killed him.
I'm investigating with the help of informants.
Do you need that information?
Those informants...
Are they legitimate?
Well, I was taught we must protect the identity of informants at all cost.
What just sent you is the accounts your colleague, Sergeant Park Ki-jung,
have under a fake name.
Interesting, isn't it?
-Did you find Park Ki-jung? -Someone saw him left an hour ago.
He sends his family in Canada over 5,000 dollars monthly.
That's almost impossible on a policeman's salary, isn't it?
-We have to go now. Hurry up. Hurry! -What?
I'll give you everything we have received.
-But on one condition. -Darn it.
Let us cover the full story of the suspect's arrest. That's all.
I know that will be difficult.
Someone was murdered at the National Police Agency,
and the suspect is a detective working at the station.
Of course you don't want that to get out.
If you let us broadcast the story,
you may face greater consequences than writing an apology letter.
So, will you hide the truth, Detective Yoon Dong-won?
Did you call him?
His phone is off. We can't track him.
REPORTER KIM MUN-HO
Where does Park Ki-jung live?
In the Odong Apartments in Jangwi-dong.
-This wasn't supposed to happen. -Pardon?
This is not why...
I put my job before family.
We're at the Seoul National Police Agency.
An investigation team found a new lead for a case.
We at Someday News will be accompanying them.
Darn it.
Shit.
Hello?
Speak slowly.
Wait, Detective Park.
Which phone are you calling from?
Hello? Assistant Oh...
Damn it!
Shit!
Wait!
I really couldn't understand those who waste their time
on packing when they should just run.
But almost everyone does. Isn't that interesting?
Reporters, please wait here.
-You stand guard. -Yes, sir.
Where is this place the investigation team has arrived at?
Probably where the suspect is, correct?
Yes.
May I ask what suspicion led you here?
What could this be?
There's another arrow here.
Sir! Over here.
Miss, do you have some time?
Stop teaching him lines like this, please?
It's really corny.
I think we're good. We should go too.
What?
They left me behind again.
There was a young college student back in 1980.
He ran a pirate radio broadcast with his friends.
The topic that we must talk about and you must hear
is President Chun Doo-hwan's curtailment of the press.
About 1,000 reporters were kicked out in the last two months.
That pirate broadcast ran for about a year.
That radio broadcast reported the facts
that no newspaper, radio, or TV show covered.
The listeners who were able to tune in
secretly recorded those broadcasts and shared them with others.
The pirate broadcasts ended with Ki Yeong-jae's arrest.
He spent the next 11 years in prison
for revealing the truths that the government tried to hide.
CCTV FOOTAGE ON THE DAY OF ABDUCTION
The police met him years later when they received a report of abduction.
Yes. At first, we questioned him as a witness,
but then things got complicated.
He was trying to tell us about the illegal jobs
he did for some influential clients...
We're at the Seoul National Police Agency.
On the 13th, a questionable death occurred
in an interrogation room at the police station.
It was a sad and unfortunate end of a man that not one single newspaper
printed one single line about.
FOOTAGE OF ARREST
Ki Yeong-jae was murdered while he was being questioned.
The suspect that the police arrested is
Detective Park, who worked at that very police station.
EVIDENCE
The items recovered at his apartment
include the poison used to kill Ki Yeong-jae.
The police also uncovered
that for the past two years, Detective Park had been receiving
ten million to twenty million won monthly
in the accounts he opened under a fake name.
Who kept giving a policeman that much money and why?
Park made a phone call just before being arrested.
This is the recording of that call.
-Hello? -Hello?
Assistant Oh, this is Park. We have a problem.
Someone broke into my place.
He took my hard drive and everything.
I think he's on to me.
You need to help me.
Speak slowly.
I need to get away quickly. So help me, please!
Wait. Detective Park, which phone are you calling from?
PHONE CALL BETWEEN THE SUSPECT AND ASSISTANT OH
This is a picture of Detective Park meeting with that Assistant Oh.
Coincidentally, I know this Assistant Oh personally.
He has worked as an assistant of the Seoul mayoral candidate,
Kim Mun-sik, for over 20 years.
CCTV FOOTAGE ON THE DAY OF ABDUCTION
The mayoral candidate Kim Mun-sik and Assistant Oh.
We obtained a footage of them entering the building
at the same time on the day Ki Yeong-jae was abducted.
The police obtained these pieces of evidence--
We'll follow the investigation and report it until the end.
-Were you watching? -Yeong-jae...
is dead.
Did you know?
Are you okay?
I couldn't tell you. I was afraid that you would be shocked, so--
I'd like to be alone.
-Myeong-hui-- -Please.
There are too many people who die a wrongful death,
but not a single line about their deaths are reported in the news.
We can't listen to all of their stories.
But we wanted to hear at least one of their stories.
We...
remember you.
We did this broadcast to tell you that.
Thank you for joining us.
You called him...
Master, right?
Yes.
And he was your late father's friend?
Yes.
Was he a good person?
No.
He was a perverted old man.
But you still loved him.
Yes.
You have many good people around you.
-I do? -Yes.
Including that lady I met last time...
your master, and me.
I'm the best of them all.
Master! You'll be right back, won't you?
You're pulling my leg, right?
Master, wait! Master!
KIM MUN-SIK
Well, if it isn't the mayoral candidate Kim!
I enjoyed your broadcast.
Thank you.
We haven't shown you anything yet.
We are just getting started.
"We"?
I guess you are not familiar with that concept, are you?
You're still very childish.
In the world I live in,
we only care about our survival.
So, we stick together even if we are betrayed
or humiliated.
Our bond is unbreakable.
But what holds you guys together?
I know.
A cause, right?
I just got a call.
Your loyal Assistant Oh is at the police station.
Once he opens his mouth, I'm sure there will be no end.
Will you be okay?
I'll be okay...
because I will get him out.
Will you be okay?
I'm not sleeping much, but I'm still healthy.
Do those kids trust you?
You think you could keep those kids next to you
with that groundless cause of yours?
You think you'll continue being a "we"?
I know you have become hopelessly pathetic,
but you shouldn't have brought them up.
Aren't you the one who got them involved in this first?
It looks like they have grown up well.
Why did you stir them up?
I hear you're still having nightmares.
You could have gone through it yourself.
Did you have to make them suffer too?
Mr. Kim Mun-sik.
You guys always do that.
Create sides and make enemies.
Should I consider this your declaration of war?
What?
I thought you had declared war against me.
Was I mistaken?
Didn't you?
Chae Yeong-sin speaking.
Your call is being forwarded to voicemail.
I'm Choi Myeong-hui. Do you remember me?
Yes, of course. Hello.
Are you free? I would like to meet you.
Of course. I'm completely free.
When should I come see you?
At your home?
No. I can get there myself.
Actually, I didn't expect that you would contact me.
Thank you.
I'll see you later.
Ms. Chae Yeong-sin?
Yes, that's me.
This way, please.
Do you remember me?
Yes. Hello.
-My wife called, right? -Yes, just now.
Let's go. I'll give you a lift.
That's not necessary.
Get in.
Okay, then. Thank you.
You don't drive?
No. I don't fear anything at all,
but strangely, I'm afraid of driving.
I think I was traumatized as a child or something.
Sometimes, I have dreams about cars racing down a dark road.
Shall we go now?
Yes, but drive slowly.
We shouldn't scare Reporter Chae.
Right.
Remember Seo Jun-seok you met at Sokcho Police Station in 1992?
I think my brother is working with Healer.
He knows you're Healer.
He says you're bad and dangerous.
Why would you do anything for them?
I'm their fathers' friend.
Did my father say he killed a person?
Yeong-sin, your biological mother is alive.
You know Jeong-hu, right? I think he's in danger.
I'll give you the money, so just give me the tape.
That's the only way you'll live!
