(Episode 19)
What about this company?
You're switching companies, right?
I think they're a perfect fit for the work you do.
What? Company?
Not money?
This company really wants you.
I think they're ready to offer more than anyone else.
They'll accept your writers and staff workers with open arms.
Should we go in now?
Stop everything.
They're incredible.
They don't just extort money.
They jumped into the employment industry.
We should these photos away...
No. They know we're here.
Think about it.
This isn't grounds for arrest.
But are we supposed to just watch this and...
Darn it.
I trust you'll take my advice from this loyal fan...
and get going.
(Big Issue)
(Name: Ahn Young Joon)
(Exclusive Contract)
Ahn Young Joon, the Midas Hands of the TV industry...
signed with an entertainment production studio with KMC today.
He refused many attractive offers from other big production studios...
and signed with a medium-sized production studio, KMC.
And the public is surprised at his unexpected decision.
However, he announced that he had found the perfect company...
he could work at against the popular consensus.
Actually, people's attention is on its effect in the stock market.
The only thing I could comment on is that their stocks are shooting up.
Right before the market closed, KMC's stock surged at its maximum.
It is expected for the stock to hike up even more tomorrow.
Many are commenting that this is only a temporary boost.
And in the future...
Hey, Mr. Kim.
Hey, Mr. Cho. Thank you.
I can't believe Ahn Young Joon signed with our company.
Good for you.
This is better than just "good". This is a miracle.
I can't emphasize enough. Thank you so much, Mr. Cho.
My gosh.
It's not like this was a charity case.
Don't thank me too much.
Anyway, I hope that your company's stocks...
would go up for a few days at least,
so I feel rewarded about this.
Don't worry, Mr. Cho.
It will double at least. It will be a big one.
Congratulations.
Double? No way.
Bye, Mr. Kim. Okay.
My gosh. Goodness.
I bet it's going to quadruple. It will. Goodness.
And he's trying to run a business when he can't even see that.
Did you look into the people that were at the coffee shop yesterday?
Yes, I did.
They weren't from the police but from the prosecution.
From Prosecutor Nam's side?
Yes.
Well, it's his last desperate struggle.
But I was told not to worry about it too much.
The Deputy Chief Prosecutor is going to get fired too.
- Because of Prosecutor Nam's case? - Yes, it's a big case.
But the higher-ups told me not to worry about this.
I heard that Han Seok Joo...
rushed over to the coffee shop yesterday.
- Yes. - It must have been touching.
As if.
I mean, even when your dog comes to greet you at the door,
is touching.
He went all the way there...
in case you were in danger after figuring out it was a trap.
How could you not be touched by that?
Well, should I be then?
Mark my words.
He's going to stay loyal to you until the end.
We can't let others have him.
You should pet him time to time and feed him snacks too.
Try to appease him.
Come in.
You were right.
Before KMC's stocks skyrocketed with Ahn's transfer,
I just got intel that they bought a lot of stocks as of yesterday.
They did, didn't they?
I told you that they are well beyond...
extorting chicken feed with the photos.
By the way,
did you find proof that Cho Hyung Joon...
from Sunday bought those shares?
No, the investment firm bought the stocks on his behalf.
To prove that they bought the shares for Cho Hyung Joon,
we need the Financial Supervisory Commission...
or we must investigate ourselves with a warrant.
Should I get the warrant?
No.
I'm sure they'll just cut the tail.
What should we do then?
What do you think? Before he cuts the tail,
we must cut off Cho Hyung Joon's arms and legs.
That's why we have this saying in our industry.
Gosh, it's hot.
"Worrying about conglomerates, celebrities,"
"and SH is the most pointless thing..."
"to do in this world."
I guess so.
We let our intuition guide us,
but information guides them.
That's why they are always 1 or 2 steps ahead of us.
Okay. I got it.
What I did was useless.
What is it?
But I'm sure it wasn't completely useless.
You might not be happy with how she turned out right now,
but she wasn't like that at first.
Why is that?
What did she become now, and what was she like before?
Just know that she changed.
Yes, hello. It's been a while.
I have a favor to ask.
H-One is in charge of...
handling the security for Geosan Hospital, right?
Where are we going now?
Stop the car.
Where are we going, that you sent away your driver?
You'll see when we get there.
Hey.
I can't be here.
I told them to send her mom home at nights.
She's stable enough now.
What?
You can see Se Eun in person now at night.
But...
You know I can't be here.
It cost a lot.
(Accredited Medical Institution)
From today on, you're on the night security...
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Stop.
I get it, so enough already.
People will think we're dating.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Go on.
You're on patrol, so you can't stay long.
Okay.
Got it.
What are you thinking, Soo Hyun?
(Park SE)
Who...
You must be the new night guard.
Yes.
It's nice to meet you.
The pleasure is mine.
Se Eun.
I'll tell your mommy tomorrow if you don't go back now.
In a little bit. I'll go after I finish watching this. Please?
She must like TV.
It's about the food.
Since the kids here can't eat outside food.
Isn't it better than Mommy's?
Hey, kid.
He likes it.
Do you want jjajangmyeon?
Yes.
Want me...
to bring you some next time?
Really?
Yes!
What do you mean? She has heart disease.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking.
I forgot she was sick.
Excuse me,
aren't you the man who was praying at the chapel at Seongji Hospital?
Do you know him?
Yes. I owe him a great debt.
I was very sick,
and he brought me all the way back to my room,
so I was able to live.
My gosh. Really?
That's right. It's you,
- Se Eun. - Yes.
Mister, thank you.
I guess you tend to work at hospitals.
That's right.
Mister, will you come here every day now?
Well, not every day, but...
Want me to show you around?
Show me around?
Just take him around the second floor.
You can't go anywhere else, okay? He's busy.
Okay.
Come this way.
Okay.
I came not that long ago,
but I'm super famous already.
The boys in the other rooms say I'm super pretty.
The boy in this room is cute,
but he isn't really my type.
The boy in that room is handsome,
so I'm keeping an eye on him.
But Mister,
my mommy cries at times when I'm not looking.
Whenever I see her cry,
it breaks my heart.
Mister, it's a secret that we walked around, okay?
My mommy doesn't like me walking around.
Then I won't be able to see the boys that like me.
You're lucky you're so popular.
(Kim Myung Jin, Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)
Please come with me.
What is this?
I guess even prosecutors are paparazzi now.
He spilled the beans.
He spilled the beans? What?
Into a pot of chili?
Was he cooking again?
Threatening people with photos is what people like us do.
A prosecutor...
should bring a warrant.
Should we bring in the man in there first?
I don't think we'll need a warrant.
Go ahead.
Go in and arrest him.
Everyone drew so well.
This is mine.
- Is that your family? - Yes.
Do you know who this is?
I don't know.
It's my daddy up in paradise.
My daddy is good at taking pictures.
Excuse me.
Where's Pediatrics?
Pediatrics?
Take the elevator on the right to the 15th floor.
Okay, thank you.
This is a secret,
but I prayed...
that there will be a donor very soon.
Is that so?
Good job.
I hope you get a donor soon too.
What is it, Se Eun?
What is it?
Will you be okay?
From what I saw, it looked like you were more than colleagues.
Will you be okay?
I think you joined the wrong side.
Since he has a prior conviction for the same crime,
I think he will be staying with us for a longer duration.
We have attorneys for that.
He'll get out in two days.
I got eyes on him.
Se Eun, are you hurt?
If He answers my prayer,
it means that some other kid will die because of me.
No, that's not true.
No one will die because of your prayer.
I'm sure he told you to get me.
I doubt bringing in...
a shutterbug will make Mr. Cha Woo Jin very happy.
No.
I can't let Se Eun see Seok Joo getting dragged away right now.
Mr. Cha...
just wants to have a friendly chat with you.
I would appreciate your cooperation.
Couldn't you have been polite like that from the start?
Sure. Let's go see him.
I would love to find out more about the Deputy Chief Prosecutor,
Cha Woo Jin.
Just leave him alone and come out.
Where can I find a water purifier?
A water purifier?
If you go straight over that way,
you'll see a pantry. Should I walk you to the room?
"Pantry"? You know such a hard word.
And you can walk me to the room too? My gosh, you're an angel.
Thank you, but I will go look for it myself.
Thanks.
Could you hand over your cellphone?
Drive.
Goodbye.
Okay.
Show me around again next time.
Okay.
Goodnight.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the beep.
(Ministry of Justice)
(Urgent Transfer)
(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)
How long has it been?
About an hour ago.
What were you doing for an hour? Why didn't you report it to me?
I assumed she turned it off thinking she wanted to be alone.
Ever since her abduction incident two years ago,
she has never turned off her phone.
Abduction?
Our enemies are everywhere.
What is it? What happened?
What do you mean Ms. Ji disappeared?
- Start. - It's been off for 67 minutes.
Her phone is either being jammed or has been destroyed.
I can't even trace the emergency signal.
- What about other belongings? - It seems that her phone, handbag,
and the fountain pen were jammed all at the same time.
There are no signals.
The surveillance camera at the hospital was blocked...
for about 10 minutes before her disappearance.
They're professionals.
They know our emergency protocol.
Mr. Nam, get me a list of past and present employees...
and everyone at the security firms...
who may know about our security protocol.
This is the list.
Is this it?
Yes. I'm checking alibis of people from the security firm.
Most of our former employees are dead...
or live abroad.
Ms. Yeo.
Get me a list of people who would want to harm...
Everyone.
I think everyone in this world would hold a grudge against Ms. Ji.
What should I do?
What do you think you should do, you fools?
You said it has been an hour.
Use a navigation system...
to create a two-hour radius from the point of her disappearance...
and check surveillance videos of every road within that radius.
You also have to check all the surveillance footages...
from airports, stations, harbors, and tollgates...
since we don't know where they may take her.
Contact the police station and have them run facial recognition.
If they won't cooperate, talk to me.
I will make a royal mess at their workplace and their homes.
Get started now.
- Right away. - Right away.
Security protocol, my foot.
Nothing would work if they threw her bag in water.
Don't you know that?
Any pickpocketer who steals your phone...
removes the battery first.
What do you actually know?
Ms. Seo, check if they found any bodies without families or friends.
Call the police, fire department, ER, or the office at Han River.
You know those places you usually look into?
Get a grip. This isn't your first rodeo.
And install a tracking device on all of our landlines.
We must track the caller if someone asks for a ransom.
Yes, sir.
Hye Jung. You and Myung Ja dispatch all of our informants in Gangnam.
Send them a picture of the outfit Soo Hyun wore today.
The reward is one million dollars.
Pardon?
Okay.
No. Make it two million dollars.
- Two million dollars? - Gosh.
Mr. Cho.
I ran into a man in the hallway of the hospital.
In hindsight,
he was the cop I saw at the coffee shop.
Cop?
He's not a cop.
I talked to the Prosecutor General on the phone.
Then, was he an investigator from the prosecution?
But why did you two go to the hospital?
She was helping me, so I could see my daughter.
What?
I see.
Okay.
What is she saying?
Raise the volume.
Your methods are so antiquated.
You still leave people alone in the interrogation room...
and use stupid mind games? Who does that nowadays?
Don't waste your time.
You can't hold me here for that long.
Okay. Don't waste precious time.
Let's go in.
I thought you'd claim...
violation of the freedom of the press and call a lawyer.
But you're not.
Press?
If we're the press,
prosecutors would bring about justice in society.
If prosecutors don't bring about justice in society,
what do we do?
Prosecutors?
Don't you bring in criminals and extort them?
Just like Nam Jin Suk?
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Cha Woo Jin, Deputy Chief Prosecutor at Seoul Central.
I'm Ji Soo Hyun, chief editor of Sunday Syndicate.
