Right? Former photographer from Nara News,
Han Seok Joo.
Take a photo for me.
Who are you?
I'm not asking for it for free.
Please find someone for me.
Kimchi.
It's my daughter.
No address, no photo.
- I'm going to see my daughter. - Really?
We're waiting for a heart donor.
But to just wait,
there are too many sick children like Se Eun.
Tell me about Han Seok Joo.
He was the best photojournalist before he took that photo.
As you know, Ms. Oh's press conference was held.
And because of that photo, Dr. Kim committed suicide.
That's what happened.
That day, at the same time,
one of us hit rock bottom.
And one of us...
stepped on top of a man who hit rock bottom...
and climbed up a step.
Mr. Han Seok Joo. Take my hand.
Take the photo I ask of you.
Then you can buy a new heart for Se Eun.
Did you publish the article?
Han Seok Joo. Welcome to the land of the dead.
(Episode 9)
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.
(Sunday Syndicate)
(Heart Transplant Compatibility Test Result)
(Crossmatching Test Result)
And you found a heart...
to give to Se Eun.
(Big Issue)
Are you kidding me right now?
Where is this heart right now?
If I tell you where it is,
are you going to rip the heart out?
Tell me!
Mr. Han Seok Joo.
Just because you could buy a heart with money,
did you think a psychopathic doctor from the organ trafficking ring...
would just cut open a body brought to him...
and sell the heart to us?
Just like in the movies?
I'm sorry to break it to you, but I don't deal with those low people.
I will not arrange some thugs for your daughter's heart.
It's the best medical staff in Korea...
only the cream of the crop can reach by word of mouth.
Regular people can't even dream of contacting them.
But do you think...
those people will share who the donor is...
and where the heart is?
No way. Never.
Not until we wire the money.
Wire the money?
You said so yourself.
If I took the photo you asked me to take,
- I could buy a heart for her! - Yes.
But that wasn't everything I told you.
That it was very expensive.
To tell you the truth, the photo you brought me today...
won't be enough.
It's not even close.
You con artist.
Con artist?
Sure.
Well, if I gave you false hopes, I apologize.
But I had no choice.
On the train and at the care facility,
you were the only card I had.
So if you don't want to work here anymore,
go to the accounting department, pick up your check, and go.
I'll tell them to give you a good amount.
I remember seeing a lot of stickers for selling organs...
at some public restroom at a bus terminal.
I'm not sure if your check is going to cut it though.
Fine.
How many more photos should I take?
It might take a while.
It's not like we get big scoops every day.
And you're not the only photographer we have here.
My daughter can't survive...
that long with her heart.
Calm down, Ji Soo Hyun.
Well, if that's your case,
the company can pay for the heart in advance.
As a form of investment.
But under one condition.
Condition?
Was that your plan all along?
It could have been.
But that doesn't matter, does it?
You can make a choice here too.
No way!
In order to take a photo of Jang Joo Hyun,
he was admitted to the long-term care facility.
Nice. He's on a roll.
Han Seok Joo is pretty decent.
Decent, my foot.
He's a trash photographer.
Hey, Dong Won. Look at this.
This article says, "It's so funny that a paparazzo is..."
"badmouthing a trash photographer."
- Hey, look. How is this funny? - What?
We were paparazzi when we first started in this industry.
That jerk acts like he's a photojournalist.
He pretends to be all classy. Look, he's wearing a suit!
He's so getting on my nerves. On top of that,
he did some unspeakable stuff in the past, so I'm criticizing him.
Strangely, it is somewhat convincing,
but at the same time, it's ridiculous.
Anyway, that guy will work here...
as a freelancer?
Well, given his talent, he might be a regular photographer.
There's an opening in Team Three, right? Don't you still need a guy?
Forget it.
Why not? You don't want him?
Considering his skills, he's a sure bet.
A sure bet? As if!
Everyone would have taken the photo...
if they were at the facility.
And have you forgotten?
There is a whole list of photographers that viper, SH,
threw out after getting what she wanted from them?
It's a long list.
You're right. You have a point there.
Exactly.
Look at him. Only time will tell.
(Seongji University Hospital)
(Pediatric Cardiology Department)
- Hello. - Who are you?
I...
Luckily, half of her left ventricle is still functioning,
but once it fails to function,
she needs a VAD in order to survive...
until she gets a heart donor.
But as you are aware,
Se Eun's family can't afford to install the VAD.
As of now,
the best option is getting a heart donor...
who is a match for her.
Doctor, the VAD...
How much does that cost?
It will cost about 100,000 dollars to 200,000 dollars.
They say that it's covered by insurance, but it's still a big sum.
Mom, look at the bird...
- flying away. - Thank you for hanging in there.
Hang in there a bit longer.
What's the condition?
It's simple.
You must prove to us that you are worth our investment...
on your own.
Then, your daughter...
can move onto the next phase for the transplant right away.
I'm pretty sure I proved that already.
Do you remember...
what you first said when you walked in?
Did you publish the article?
"Did you publish the article?"
I'm sure you were worried about Jang Joo Hyun, who was pregnant,
in case something would happen to her because of your photograph.
What we want is a cruel, heartless paparazzo.
This industry is different from what you're used to.
Ethics and principles of journalism?
Ethics and rules of photojournalism? There is no such thing.
If the readers want,
we'll keep slandering people's names,
and publish untrue rumors without hesitation.
The personal life of a pregnant celebrity?
We could care less.
And we won't invest in a reporter who worries about things like that.
A reporter?
Do you still see me as a reporter?
No.
You're an alcoholic who still has the stains of a reporter.
Prove me wrong if you want.
Please leave.
If you don't think you can do it,
go to Accounting and get paid for the photograph, and leave.
Or go to the supply room and get your equipment and stand by.
I'm tired of talking so much.
(Heart Transplant Compatibility Test Result)
If you had said,
"I'll treat your daughter,"
"so be my slave for life,"
I would've been more touched.
Sorry.
I have too many slaves already.
(Heart Transplant Compatibility Test Result)
My gosh. Look who's here.
Hey, Dr. Ko. Look who's here.
I tried so hard to save you from being dragged away that night.
My gosh. Seriously...
Seriously what?
Hey. Stop sighing and talk, will you?
You were passed out, so you have no idea.
I was dying inside.
You know what I did to save you two?
Gosh. You disloyal punks.
Seriously.
Hey.
You really won't drink?
No.
But seriously, you've turned into a completely different person.
Where is that facility?
Why do you ask?
I want to go too.
You quit drinking and became a different person.
If we bumped into each other on the street,
I'd fight you, not knowing it's you.
What about your daughter?
Do you get to see her now?
How did you know?
- The barber? - The barber?
Hey. Why would I go to a barber with this hair?
I can tell just by looking at you.
Where else would a homeless man go, all decked out in a suit,
other than to his family?
But you came back completely wasted.
It's clear as day.
Is that why you're back?
No.
I'm going to live differently from now on.
You are?
I came to say bye.
I won't come back here ever again.
Give me a break.
Good. Good thinking.
Good, good.
Be tough.
The tough ones quit drinking and smoking and live well.
Now,
think only about your baby, okay?
Don't say you'll never come back.
Never say never.
What was that?
Never say never.
You don't know what the future will bring, so...
Why are you such an inconsiderate jerk?
He quit drinking and is making a new start.
You should encourage him.
Why are you being so negative?
Why I ought to...
He's right. I was wrong.
Sorry.
That's right. Why should you come back here?
Don't even look back.
When you leave, leave quietly.
Let it all go.
Okay?
Cut!
What are you doing? This isn't a slapstick.
- Get up. - Is he being funny?
We're ready.
Okay, let's go.
How about Seok Joo?
Not yet.
I see.
Oh well. Let's go.
Let's do that again.
Get ready.
What's going on?
- Eun Ho. Eun Ho. - Eun Ho! Eun Ho!
Was he hurt for real?
- Eun Ho. - Are you okay?
- He suddenly grabbed his leg. - Yes.
It's okay.
Don't we have a first aid kit?
Get rid of the camera! What are you doing? He's hurt!
This was captured by the cameraman shooting a "making-of" video.
My gosh. That's serious.
My dear Eun Ho looks like he's in a lot of pain.
Production claims it wasn't an injury during filming,
but a ruptured tendon from overuse and a stress fracture.
It's noise marketing. He worked so hard, he got injured.
Why did you bring this up at the meeting?
Oh my gosh. Ms. Ji.
Baek Eun Ho is super hot right now.
He's from a rich family...
It may be different from what they announced.
According to our intel,
his father has a history of suffering from...
Roussy Levy syndrome.
Oh my gosh. He as a hereditary disease?
The symptoms are consistent.
Which family is he from?
He's Gyeongnam Assets' chairman's son.
Did you consult a doctor about this video?
Yes. He can't make a conclusion based solely on the video,
but he says there is a high probability.
If he does have a hereditary disease,
it may be newsworthy.
Ms. Jang. Go to the hospital where he's being treated.
See if you can find anything.
Okay.
He's an actor. An actor.
How did it go?
Han Seok Joo came back.
Next.
Are you the new photographer?
Yes.
You don't have calluses on your hand anymore.
It must've been a while since you've touched a camera.
Are you that Han something, trash photographer?
Yes.
That's the basic equipment.
Basic?
Does a photographer need more equipment than this?
There's a lot.
Wiretap equipment, night vision cameras,
infrared cameras, thermographic cameras,
pinhole cameras, and so on.
You'll find them in your department.
Exclusive News Team, right?
"Exclusive News Team"?
What do you...
You should ask them yourself.
I heard that this company is loaded.
Why do they use a camera that looks like it's been stolen?
Stolen?
The serial number here is all wiped out.
You must be new.
We got rid of it on purpose.
If things go south, you must trash it...
after taking out the memory card and wiping the prints off.
So it doesn't get traced back to us.
The cops.
What else? Is there more?
No. This is all for today.
Okay, then. Dismissed.
Ms. Ji.
You're not going to hire a photographer for Team Three?
Why? The photographers at the company won't do?
They're all amateurs.
For me to do my job, I need someone I can work with.
I lost at least three scoops.
Please hire me a professional photographer.
I have 1 or 2 photographers in mind, but...
- How about Han Seok Joo? - What?
- No. - Why not?
I need someone who can work as a team player.
Someone who will be here long.
Do you think he's an amateur?
Well, I'm not sure about that.
Well, just to get a photo, he jumped off the train.
Seeing how he treats his life, he won't be here long.
Right.
That means Han Seok Joo needs a handler too.
Someone who will teach him well.
No. No.
I said, no!
- That's all. - Ms. Seo.
Ms. Seo. Ms. Seo. Darn it.
Where is that guy?
What guy?
That trash photographer. I heard that he came here.
Is he in Team Three?
No, I'm just his temporary handler.
Temporary, my foot. What if you get attached to him?
That will not happen this time.
If you say so.
He's probably in the night duty room.
My guess is that he'll be your handler in due time.
What we want is a cruel, heartless paparazzo.
No.
You're an alcoholic who still has the stains of a reporter.
Prove me wrong if you want.
Hello.
Mister, have you seen a newbie here today?
No, I haven't.
You haven't?
Asking you that means I wanted you to look for him.
Should I go check every male employee room here?
I'm right here.
I'm the newbie.
This is your work phone. Make sure you always have it on you.
It cannot be turned off ever.
If you turn it off, the company will consider that you left.
Make sure you always charge it.
I guess...
the company tracks my location too.
Sure, for your safety.
They tap my phone too?
- Of course... - For my safety.
You'll find out why we do those things as time passes.
I'm not sure if you'll stay that long to find out.
Everything regarding your work will pass through me.
Ask me if now there are any questions or if you need anything.
Things I need?
Buy me a meal. I'm hungry.
Unbelievable.
- Oh, no! Poor him. - Get better!
- Fair Skin Baek Eun Ho! - Fair Skin Baek Eun Ho!
- Fair Skin Baek Eun Ho! - Please get better!
- Who is that? - Who is it?
- Isn't that her? - Wait, is that her?
- Look at her! - She's so pretty!
- She's so pretty! - No way.
Ma'am.
We sincerely hope Eun Ho gets a full recovery.
I see. Thank you.
- I'll relay the message to Eun Ho. - Okay.
Hang in there, ma'am. You can do it!
Are they have a party out there? They are so inconsiderate.
By the way,
that guy in the equipment room seemed off-the-wall.
What was his job before?
He's the legendary paparazzo.
"Legendary"?
Can you elaborate?
He was the first photographer to ever buy...
a convertible by taking photos in secret.
He is indeed legendary.
- Where do you live? - Where do I live?
That night duty room you saw earlier.
- Then... - Before this job,
I lived in the underpass at Seoul Station.
There's something I want to ask. Let me ask just one question.
She wants me to prove...
that I'm a cruel, heartless paparazzo.
How can I prove that?
I want to prove that today.
That's not that hard.
A cruel paparazzo and a trash photographer...
are about the same.
Just do what you did in the past.
You're right.
I did my time in the slammer thinking that I was one.
But apparently,
I wasn't that cruel, trash photographer that I thought I was.
Who told you that?
Someone.
When can I start working?
How about now?
Name, Baek Eun Ho. A 24-year-old actor.
He's in Unit 1720 at Hanshin Hospital...
after suffering an injury from a shoot.
While I go meet the doctor,
you must go and take his photo.
That's your first mission.
You just need a photo of him?
Yes.
Sure, let's do it.
(Hanshin Hospital)
Eun Ho. Have some apples. We got your favorite.
They were hard to get since they're not in season.
Eat some.
Forget it. I don't want any.
You need to eat well in times like these.
If I eat well, will it cure me of my hereditary disease?
Eun Ho.
Acting isn't everything.
Your situation is different from your dad's.
Medical technology has improved,
and if you are diligent with treatment,
it won't get worse.
They say you can live like normal people.
Keep this in mind.
If you get arrested while taking photos,
the agency will do whatever it takes to get you out.
If you get hurt while taking photos,
the agency will make sure you get treated.
But if you don't get the photos,
don't come back until you do.
Listen carefully.
If you get arrested while taking the photos,
the paper will do whatever it takes to get you out.
(Nara News Welcomes Our New Photographers)
If you get hurt while taking the photos,
the paper will make sure you get treated.
But if you don't get the photos,
don't even think about come back.
The paper will take care of you to the bitter end...
as long as you fulfill your responsibilities.
Understood?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I can't hear you. Understood?
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Why aren't you getting out?
Okay.
Yes.
You probably can't be an actor anymore.
But it's okay.
You did well in school...
and were famous for being the model son.
You can do plenty of things even if you don't act.
Let's use this to get you waived from military service...
and work at your grandfather's company.
I've lived for the sole purpose of being an actor.
What could I possibly do at a company?
Yes.
You worked hard, and you did very well.
If you work just as hard in running the company,
you can do just as well as your dad.
Your grandfather was extremely sad...
when he heard your disease manifested.
You need to let him know that he can trust you.
Eun Ho.
You know how much your grandfather loves you, right?
(Ms. Lee)
- Where are you? - Eun Ho's hospital.
- Did you go alone? - No, with Seok Joo.
What? He ended up joining your team?
My team? No way. I'm training him.
Training him? What would you train him on?
He joined a new company, so he should be trained.
I told him to get a photo of Eun Ho.
What? By himself?
Yes.
You're so mean. So mean.
Our trashy photographer needs to suffer a little.
Why did you call?
One second.
- Where are you going? - Internal medicine.
- What's wrong with her? - I have a fever. I have a cold.
Do you have a request for treatment?
- Sorry? A request... - A request...
- What? - This is level three.
You need to get a request for treatment at...
Hey.
Stop it, will you?
I'm sick and want to see a doctor.
- What's it to you? - What's your problem?
You're Eun Jung and Bo Ra, right?
I'm really sick!
- Get out. Now! - I mean it!
What are you doing? I'm really sick!
(We'll wait for you.)
I love you!
Excuse me. Where are you going?
Darn it.
Where do you think?
Please show me your request for treatment.
Security is iron-clad.
There's no way in.
What's the doctor's name?
Did he...
really say that?
- Yes. - My gosh.
My poor baby. What will we do now?
Okay. Thanks.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
You can't tell the vice chairman...
what you told me, okay?
Do you understand?
Yes, sir. I'm aware.
You may leave.
I will sign your discharge papers...
since I don't think you'll listen to me,
but your treatment isn't over yet.
You told me that alcoholism isn't something you can cure.
To treat alcoholism,
it starts with detoxing, the first stage, to breaking a habit,
and then replacing your desire.
And lastly, the fourth stage is returning to society.
Out of all the patients I have treated,
you were the fastest patient who managed to...
reach the second stage, breaking your habit which is impressive.
However, if you return...
to society without treating the third stage,
replacing your urge with something else,
you will experience a side effect at some point.
Side effect?
Is there a bigger side effect other than...
suffering from the lack of alcohol?
You must drink a lot of water.
If you're dehydrated,
the homeostasis your body has been maintaining so far will be broken.
As a result, all the withdrawal symptoms will come at once.
The first symptom, you will experience muscle spasms...
such as numbness in your limbs.
However, if you continue to be dehydrated,
you'll fall into a delirium such as auditory and visual hallucinations.
And if you continue to be in that state,
you will go into shock.
It may lead to death.
When are you going home?
I was just finishing up here.
Do you want to grab a drink?
Why are you putting that much effort into that guy?
I'm talking about Han Seok Joo.
You sent him to an expensive care facility.
You help him get treated for alcoholism.
And you already sent the money for his daughter's heart.
He already earned everything we invested in him.
He's worth our investment.
That is true,
but is that the only reason?
Isn't it a bit uncomfortable to have him around?
What do you mean?
Soo Hyun,
do you feel guilty for what happened to him?
Guilty?
Are you talking about my guilty conscience?
I mean, we can't say for certain...
that you were completely free from blame for what happened to him.
To be frank,
because of the press conference you made Chae Rin have,
that guy ended up where he is now.
Not really.
Isn't it because of...
that mysterious suicide of Dr. Kim?
Kim Hyung Se had it coming for him.
How is that related to that guy's collapse?
What a relief.
It seems like you and I...
are incapable of feeling guilty.
No one could have taken the photos...
on the train and at the facility without risking their lives.
To save his daughter,
he will do anything.
Until then, he is a valuable employee for us.
We can work him like a dog by holding his sick daughter hostage?
It's a win for him too.
I am so relieved...
that you are on my side.
What is this?
No!
Yes, I'm hallucinating now.
This can't be real.
Dad?
Dad!
I mean, we can't say for certain...
that you were completely free from blame for what happened to him.
To be frank,
because of the press conference you made Chae Rin have,
that guy ended up where he is now.
I'm going to move your bed.
(Elevator for Patient Use)
(Patient Use Only)
Darn it.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
What's this?
(Movie Star Baek Eun Ho Has an Incurable Disease!)
Actor Baek Eun Ho, who has been dominating the screens lately,
was diagnosed with an incurable disease.
Eun Ho's condition is dangerous and may even...
- lose his life... - They've lost their minds.
Upon hearing that his father...
passed away from the same disease 10 years ago,
the public is greatly saddened.
So?
I'm sorry.
No wonder the doctor refused to talk to me.
Weekly Star must have bought her over.
Sure. She needs to make a living too.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
I said not to come back if you don't have a photo.
Did he drink?
That photograph was staged.
It's a conspiracy.
Why do you think it was staged?
When that was taken the surgery center was already closed.
Okay.
Hello, I'm Park Mi Kyung.
They must not have been happy with the photo.
- Can you see his face? - After getting a call,
they brought him back into the surgery center...
- We'll have his head appear first. - They changed it to a better angle.
Here he comes.
- Send it. - Yes, ma'am.
Hello, Park Mi Kyung speaking.
How amusing.
Why was he at the scene?
Alone, at that.
Well, it was training day for the rookie.
Still, I got the photos,
so let's count them toward me performance.
Training day.
Did you think I'd be grateful or something?
No.
I guess I was grateful.
You were tattling on me. You wanted to get me in trouble.
Were you trying to get me in trouble?
Ma'am.
I'm hungry.
- Yes? - Did Eun Ho go to the army?
He's on active duty. He gets discharged next spring.
Do you think he's trying to avoid military service?
- Perhaps. - That's unlikely.
He'd need an official diagnosis from the hospital.
Unlikely?
- Young Mi. - Yes?
- Are you dating? - Sorry?
Since when was the world so beautiful?
I'm sorry.
What's his birthday?
August 8, 1996.
Okay.
Just give this to Chae Rin. Tell her that it's from me.
Then she'll want to meet you alone.
And what's next?
Tell her to have a press conference.
She should say I wasn't raping her in the photo.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
I won't tell anyone I came here.
Wait.
Sit down.
Fine. How about this?
What is this?
All the records of my 36 years as a doctor.
A record of their secret diseases that the people of influence...
in our society want to hide.
I'm not running from the police.
I'm hiding from the people who want to get rid of this.
Just have Chae Rin hold a press conference.
Then this will be yours.
With this, no one can look down on you.
It's a key to open the doors...
to all the inner circles in our society that were closed to you...
until now.
It's power.
Do you understand?
(Gyeongnam Assets Eun Ho)
You must have gotten something big.
I'm getting a good vibe.
You're good at jumping to conclusions.
Get a photo of Baek Eun Ho.
See that?
Didn't we already lose that scoop?
What's the point in taking that...
I'm sorry.
Get a picture of Baek Eun Ho walking just fine.
Baek Eun Ho's illness is fake.
(Big Issue)
I plan to take a break from all activities...
and focus on my treatment.
Stop beating around the bush, and get to the point.
Do you have a picture to sell to me or something?
No. We plan to take the picture.
Focus.
Don't take your eyes off of Eun Ho even for a second.
It's a show. He knows.
Pull out.
It was a waste of time and effort.
What is this?
How did you know?
No matter how good the cameras get,
they're never as good as the eyes of someone who sees it in person.
We don't have time. A person is about to die!
If you get involved now, Se Eun will die too.
