(Episode 7)
My gosh, Ms. Ji. How do you look younger every time I see you?
You don't need separate lightings.
She's right, Ms. Ji. Your skin is shining.
Hello.
You're the one who looks good.
No, I doubt it.
I've been exhausted with my shows lately.
You seemed to sleep a lot.
Ms. Ji, I'm really clean now.
As you should be.
People can't find out a bride-to-be is a druggie.
Save up all those cash gifts from the wedding.
- Hello. - Have you been well?
Thank you for coming. It's an honor.
They are all new. Please take a look at them.
- I'll step out for a second. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry. I didn't want to put you in danger.
Forget it. What's the tip?
I'm...
actress Jang Joo Hyun's guard.
Jang Joo Hyun?
You mean the newbie actress, Jang Joo Hyun?
She's not even that famous. Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry. I had no choice.
- Taxi. - Her sponsor...
Hangang Group's Chairman Hong.
One of my journalists is in charge of...
I was Chairman Hong's guard.
And I had to keep an eye on her too.
Is it because of money?
If you want money, you've got the wrong person.
To tell you the truth, that actress is not that famous.
Chairman Hong took Joo Hyun.
I'm being pursued too.
Joo Hyun and I...
are in love.
(Big Issue)
Let me get this straight. This is like "A Bittersweet Life".
And you're Lee Byung Hun?
Please write an expose.
I must save Joo Hyun.
Given the nature of the incident,
Chairman Hong might have already killed your Joo Hyun.
- He can't. - Why not?
Is it because Chairman Hong dearly loves her?
Because Joo Hyun is pregnant with his baby.
She's carrying his son.
He can't kill her since he doesn't have any sons,
but once she gives birth to the baby,
he might kill her.
That's why you must reveal this to the public.
Not even the press and government can go against him.
The only person I can ask for help is you, Ms. Ji.
Me?
This is absurd.
First,
I'm not a decent person who helps others.
Second,
I'm not a fool who takes your word to write an article either.
Third,
if I write such an article rashly,
it might actually put Joo Hyun in danger.
First, find Joo Hyun and get me concrete evidence.
Only then, Chairman Hong can't harm you or Joo Hyun.
Do you think you could do that?
Do you have a place in mind?
Yes, there's a place.
Where is that?
That crazy jerk.
Darn it!
I lost him. Block him from there.
Get off. You'll be in greater danger.
- What about you? - I must drag them for a bit more.
If something happens to you, no one can save her.
In exchange, promise me that you will run her story.
Okay. I will, so find Joo Hyun first.
I'm sorry for dragging you into a difficult situation.
We took care of him.
Yes.
(3 months later, present)
- Sir, something is going on. - What?
- I'll go in and give him a shot. - Okay.
I will chop you up into pieces...
and take you to fire and brimstone.

(Ji Soo Hyun's Profile)
Ji Soo Hyun.
- Hello. - Come in.
Have a seat.
I called you in...
because our head of advertising brought in a huge client.
The client's condition is...
that they want to meet you in person.
- Who is it? - It's Hangang Group.
They'll advertise with us only if they meet me?
That's not exactly how they put it,
but they insisted on meeting you.
They must want to give us a huge account.
Why don't you grace them with your presence?
You should listen to what they have to say.
Sure.
Hello.
This way, please.
We have an appointment with the PR department.
It's okay. Let's go.
Okay.
You need to wait here.
What do you mean? I should go with...
Okay.
Yes, this is mine.
It was hard finding you,
Ms. Ji Soo Hyun, Editor-in-chief of Sunday Syndicate.
This is a one-of-a-kind from the Hepburn Collection.
Anyone who knows anything...
would've been able to find out it was mine.
Consult an expert next time.
Don't ruin...
a precious item by running a DNA test off of it.
What did you talk about with that dead kid that day?
You're the chief of security. I'm sure you know.
Your chairman...
loved a young actress named Joo Hyun,
gave her money and became her sponsor.
But the guard he put on her to monitor her...
fell in love with her.
Once that got out,
the actress was dragged away somewhere,
and the guard...
died.
And?
And before that guard died, he came to me...
and asked me...
to find Joo Hyun and expose the chairman.
That's about it.
So, where you looking for Jang Joo Hyun?
- That's our job. - Don't look anymore...
since we found you first.
Are you threatening me?
Yes.
Fine. I'll do that.
But pay me.
- Pay you? - Yes.
For the picture of Joo Hyun,
the actress pregnant with Chairman Hong's baby.
How much are you thinking?
You want to be paid for a picture...
you don't have... No, for a picture you'll never take?
You'll see whether or not we take the picture.
If you pay before we take the picture,
I can give you a discount.
Are you threatening me?
Yes.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Don't drink that! Get out of there.
- Get out. - Let go! Let go!
You're dehydrated as a result of your alcohol withdrawal.
Since you can't drink alcohol, you want to drink at least water.
Han Seok Joo.
Do you know why you keep longing for alcohol?
You don't drink because you're miserable.
If you don't drink,
your body sends signals that you're miserable.
That's why you drink.
Thus, you must find...
methods to become happy other than drinking.
Happy?
What was the happiest moment in your life?
And what was the most miserable moment?
I don't wish to become happy.
I don't care to do anything...
to become happy, either.
I just...
want to live slightly less miserably and die.
That's why I drink.
That is...
the reason I long for alcohol.
Is that right?
Yes.
So,
if you don't intend to let me out of here,
just give me alcohol.
That will be cheaper than the meds.
What? Does it taste bad?
This is soju.
Don't lie to me!
Let go of him.
It's true.
It's because of the shot I gave you earlier.
If you drink alcohol, that chemical...
will trigger a migraine, nausea, and dizziness.
To put it simply, the more you drink, the more painful it will get.
It helps you...
to not want to drink later on as a reflex.
Remember this feeling.
They pretty much threatened you, that they found you.
That's right.
They're arrogant, but it took them forever to find me.
What a waste.
I'm sure you didn't agree not to look for her.
- So what did you tell... - What are you getting at?
Ma'am.
Perhaps you should let this one go.
- What? - Chairman Hong is a scumbag.
He's capable of doing anything.
To be honest, I'm a bit scared.
Ms. Seo.
How would we make any money...
if there were no scumbags in this world?
- Ma'am. - Get back to work.
Han Seok Joo.
Get up.
I need you.
(Authorized Personnel Only)
So don't ever show up in front of her again.
If you do,
she'll resent you like I do until the day she dies.
- Thank you. - Bye.
- Thank you. - Bye. Se Eun.
Do you want me to carry you? Or do you want to walk?
Carry me, please.
Sure thing.
- Let's go. - Slowly.
Let's go. Cover her with a blanket. It's cold outside.
If I'm going to end up there anyway,
I don't want to trouble my parents anymore.
I should hurry.
And I also want to see my dad...
who's up there.
Okay, Se Eun.
Say that you went all the way up there,
but if you don't get to see your dad whom you miss there,
it would make you very sad, right?
So I will...
go there first and wait for you there.
Until then, please take good care of her.
(Is there someone...)
(you miss?)
(Go there now...)
(and see that person.)
I already did.
Darn it.
Have you made up your mind now?
Aren't you surprised to see me?
Now that I see you here, I get it.
It makes sense how easy...
it was to get out of that hospital.
That's no fun.
Anyway, if you jump into this river on a day like this,
it will be freezing cold.
Let's reconsider once the weather warms up.
Who knows?
You might be able to save Se Eun's life by that time.
What did you just say?
I said you could save Se Eun's life.
What do you mean?
Take the photo I ask of you.
Then...
you can buy a new heart for Se Eun.
Buy a heart?
Yes, of course.
It's just that it's against the law.
And it's expensive too.
But with the tip I have and your photography skill,
you can easily make enough money for her heart.
Why? Does it bother you that it's illegal?
Had you trashed your good-for-nothing conscience,
it would have been much easier to live in this world.
Conscience?
You don't know anything about me.
Actually,
I'm that evil trash photographer the whole world knows.
Really?
If so, why did you let...
the ghost of Kim Hyung Se haunt you like this?
Actually, Kim Hyung Se...
didn't commit suicide because of your photo.
When the article came out,
his sponsors pressured him as they were worried...
their connections to him would be exposed.
Dr. Kim was pushed into a corner.
He had no choice but to end his life.
If that's true,
does it change things for me?
It's all the same that...
he died because of my photo.
It changes things.
Your photo was the truth,
and Oh Chae Rin's press conference...
was bogus.
What do you mean?
To erase the suspicion that she took Propofol habitually,
she lied...
that they were lovers.
How do you know that?
At that time, I had no idea.
That's how this world always works.
People like you have...
your fate determined for you...
without your knowledge.
Mr. Han Seok Joo.
Take my hand.
The only person...
who can give you a chance to hold a camera again...
is me.
And with the chance I give you,
save your daughter, Se Eun.
When do I start working?
As long as you're ready,
you can start right away.
Let's go.
Is this really...
the place I was at before?
Sir, I won't let you run off again.
If you really want to escape, get your strength back up first.
You were in the isolation wing until yesterday.
You'll be in a regular room starting today.
For your information, this place is extremely expensive.
Hello.
Come in. The weather is great, isn't it?
Do you have...
restraining equipment here?
Pardon?
You're so funny.
Right! The doctor would like to have lunch with you.
Okay.
Actually, Kim Hyung Se...
didn't commit suicide because of your photo.
That's how this world always works.
People like you have your fate determined for you...
without your knowledge.
Okay.
Good. She should've gotten the message.
Okay.
Hey. It's me.
About the Jang Joo Hyun case,
we need to do something.
Did you enjoy your trip?
Yes.
As you can see, this is not a mental hospital.
It is a long-term care facility for people with dignity.
You were simply in isolation temporarily out of necessity.
Now that we've treated the disease,
you may live comfortably in the regular ward.
You may go out whenever you wish.
I can go out as I please?
Yes. Of course. We've completed treating your body.
You should start exercising little by little...
and start healing your heart...
Please talk to me as your patient, not a client.
What must I do to free myself of alcoholism?
To be blunt,
you can never be completely free from alcoholism.
Hey.
Yes?
Can't you tell?
My apologies.
When did you come?
Two days ago.
Even animals know there's an order to things.
Even if you quit,
you're either restraining yourself from drinking...
or temporarily forgetting about it and maintaining that state...
by using up a great deal of willpower.
However, there's a limit to a person's willpower.
Thus, you must find a good source of dopamine...
to replace the alcohol.
I don't think religion would do.
The appropriate method for you is probably exercise.
But if you want your body...
to release sufficient dopamine to satisfy your body,
you must go beyond just toning your body.
You must be an exercise addict and practically exploit your body.
Can you do it?
Sir, calm down. That's dangerous.
What should we do?
- What is it? - Take a look.
What is it?
(Missing Person Jang Joo Hyun, Cash Reward 1,000 Dollars)
(Hangang Chief of Security Kim Do Hwan)
(Chairman)
- Hello, Mr. Chairman. - Did you see it?
- Yes, just now. - She's a wack job.
Either that or you messed up.
I'm sorry, sir. I'll fix it.
Secure yourself.
Are you okay?
Grab the hold on the right.
Place your hand above it.
Good.
Had you trashed your good-for-nothing conscience,
it would have been much easier to live in this world.
Actually, Kim Hyung Se...
didn't commit suicide because of your photo.
What is he thinking?
That's enough! It's too dangerous to go any higher.
Okay?
Take the photo I ask of you.
Then...
you can buy a new heart for Se Eun.
It's dangerous!
Sir. Think of the person holding the rope too.
And from that height, if I dropped the rope,
you'd be dead without fail.
You're bleeding.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Wait. Hold on. Let me see.
Get the first aid kit!
I need to out for a while today.
Go ahead.
CPCR Code blue. SICU.
Come in.
Wake up. No.
Hey.
Please save my baby.
Please.
Please save my baby.
Please don't let my baby die.
Doctor.
It'll be okay, Se Eun.
Mommy...
- Mommy... - It's okay.
No, Hyun Hye.
I'm sorry, but we lost her.
No!
- It's okay. - Hyun Hye!
Wake up, Hyun Hye!
No.
- Mommy... - No, Hyun Hye.
Please save her.
No.
Wake up, Hyun Hye!
Please save her.
No, Hyun Hye.
Wake up, Hyun Hye! Please save her.
There.
Why?
Are you worried...
you won't be able to ward off the temptation to drink?
No.
Today, I'm going to have a drink.
And...
I'm going to purge out everything.
I'm going to purge all of my memories...
inside me.
And afterward,
I will have a memory loss.
I think he passed self-hatred...
and entered the phase of rage.
It's dangerous,
but it can be a strong treatment.
- Hello? - It's me.
- Hello? - Did you hang up on purpose?
Who is this?
(Hangang Chief of Security Kim Do Hwan)
This is the chief of security at Hangang.
I see.
Among the people I know,
no one would talk to me that casually.
Take down...
your missing-person poster.
You didn't specify whose poster it was.
Besides, I don't understand what you mean by that either.
And I won't be able to use this recording for proof later.
Okay? Please state your request again. What poster?
Are you perhaps referring to...
the Jang Joo Hyun missing person poster?
You should just chase after my boat like you've been doing so far...
as you keep your eye on me to see if I take...
Joo Hyun's photo or not.
Hey, hey. Ji Soo Hyun. Hello?
Hey! Hello? Darn it.
That witch!
Listen closely to what I'm about to say.
It's about that missing person poster.
Chief.
(Missing Person Jang Joo Hyun, Cash Reward 1,000 Dollars)
What? 10,000 dollars?
Has SH gone mad?
Why did she raise it tenfold?
Watch your tongue.
It's the truth.
She's a nobody. Why would she want to find her?
On top of that, she's going to pay 10,000 dollars?
I get it. Is it something like "Where's Wally?"
Is this an event from her agency?
I'm sure she has something very important planned.
Something a kid like you wouldn't know.
I'm going to tail Jeffrey starting tomorrow.
- What? - Why would you tail Jeffrey?
Jeffrey is an idol singer.
We, Team Two, are in charge of idol singers.
He's an actor who's an idol singer.
He acts too.
Hey, tell me what the scoop is.
That way, we can cooperate or...
- Ms. Seo, I need your help. - What is it?
Our phones are ringing off the hook because of Joo Hyun.
- What's your tip? - Okay.
- Let us go and check first. - What's the address?
Okay, I'll report it to my boss.
Is it possible that it was someone else?
Hey.
Hey, look.
What?
- No... - Do you want to die?
No...
You little...
Have a good workout.
Six.
7, 8...
Recently, a news agency...
uploaded an announcement that they were looking for a rookie actress.
- It's garnering attention now. - Where did you see her?
The actress in question is Jang Joo Hyun.
As soon as she made a debut in a film,
she became popular with her beauty and good acting.
As she actively stars in dramas and on variety shows,
she demonstrated many charms unlike a rookie actress.
At one point, the actress had gone into a hiatus.
And she's attracting attention again by the agency's public announcement.
The news agency created a stir when they put a 1,000-dollar...
reward to find Jang Joo Hyun on their online announcement.
Recently, the agency upped the reward to 10,000 dollars...
which is creating a bigger buzz now.
Meanwhile, the online website...
is getting a flood of tips about her location...
- and questions about the actress. - A bit more. Just a little more!
There is a lot of attention to how long this craze will continue.
That was impressive.
You can do it. Go for it.
You're almost there.
Gosh, you're beautiful.
It seems like we have upset you, Ms. Ji Soo Hyun.
Not really.
Well, on behalf of my chief of security,
I will apologize to you.
It's hard to manage your subordinates.
And it's hard to play nice with those higher-ups too. You know?
I think it happened because...
he was trying to save me some money. All right.
I will pay you for the photo you didn't take.
- Okay? - I'm not sure.
We have already received too many tips.
As the public seems to be very interested in this matter...
Hey, look. Ms. Ji Soo Hyun.
Hey. Be quiet.
So you're not even going to negotiate?
I'll think about it...
once I take the photo.
Sure.
That could be another way too.
We'll leave our discussion here, and I'll leave now.
Hey.
I'm sorry, sir. How dare she...
My gosh.
She's trying to extort more money out of us.
Finding her won't be possible.
I will put more security on her.
Gosh, do you think that's even necessary?
Pardon?
The way you handled this problem was wrong to begin with.
It's better that we get rid of her.
Yes, sir.
Then I can go visit my baby tomorrow, right?
Of course, sir.
- Look at him. - Be careful.
He's almost there.
- Just a little more. - You can do it!
- You can do it. - A little more. Just a little more!
- Oh, no. - He was so close, you know?
Sir, did a war break out or something?
This is just a sport.
Yes? Yes. Please hold on.
Sir, this is for you.
- Me? - Yes.
- Yes? - I'm sorry,
but I cannot wait any longer.
Until when do I...
- Tomorrow morning. - Okay.
Ms. Ji likes that bed.
Yes. You may come home now.
I think I'd better stand by at the office tonight.
You may go home.
An actress is hiding in that long-term care facility.
Whereas some think she's out of the country,
and some think she had plastic surgery...
is waiting for the swelling to go down,
but in reality, she's being confined there because she's pregnant.
Take her photo.
That is your first mission.
I was almost moved for a minute.
I thought you put me...
in that fancy facility to rehabilitate me.
That's not untrue either,
so think as you wish.
I put a camera in your locker.
The only time you can take a photo...
is when they open the windows to air out the room at sunrise.
The facility has very strict security,
so no outsiders are permitted on the premises at that hour.
In conclusion, the only person in the facility...
who can take her picture at sunrise...
is you, a resident of the facility.
This is not a sport.
Her room faces the courtyard, so the only angle from which...
you can get a picture of her...
is within the facility.
Above the climbing wall.
(Han Seok Joo)
As a token of our apology, we added a little extra.
If I refuse the money...
and go public with the photo,
what happens to you?
Please have mercy.
I have a child whom I still need to support.
I'm begging you.
Let me ask you something in exchange.
Who is the man that Chairman Hong's wife is seeing these days?
I think he's an idol singer.
That's right.
If anything happens to Joo Hyun after she gives birth,
I'll take it as an instruction to publish the article.
Did you publish the article?
(Shocking Shotgun Marriage Between Jang Joo Hyun and Bae Jung Tae)
Isn't that good?
It's a happy ending for everyone.
Chairman Hong gets a son,
the bride saved her life,
and the groom cleared the suspicion that he's gay.
And you made money.
Although the man who should really be next to Joo Hyun...
lost his life...

And you found a heart to give to Se Eun.

Welcome to the land of the dead.
(Big Issue)
She wants me to prove that I'm an evil,
cruel, and heartless paparazzo.
Do you feel some sort of guilt toward him?
As in does it nag at my conscience?
(Seok Joo starts a new life as a paparazzo)
Take his picture while I'm with the doctor.
If I eat well, will it cure me of my hereditary disease?
I don't think it'll last that long.
He may die.
- Where's Seok Joo? - Not yet.
Dump him when things go south.
(He receives his first mission.)
That photo was staged.
It was completely set up.
