(Episode 15)
Ms. Ji, are you all right?
What happened?
You're overfatigued.
You've been working too much. You should've rested on the weekend.
- What about Seo Hee? - Seo Hee?
You mean Choi Seo Hee? What about her?
Did she die?
Pardon?
Ms. Ji, finish up with the IV.
I don't think you're completely back yet.
(Evelyn Hospital for Cosmetic Surgery)
Shouldn't you stay at the hospital a bit longer?
I'm fine. Just drive.
(Big Issue)
Place the camera somewhere with a good view of the bed.
Make sure it can't be seen.
Hurry.
Seo Hee? Seo Hee.
You asked to see me.
Is there anything you want to tell me? You made me look like a fool.
Well, the thing is that Mr. Han took the girl.
He told me not to tell anyone at work...
until you woke up and made your decision.
- My decision? - Yes.
Here you go.
I'll leave you alone now.
You should sleep some more. Why did you come out?
Go back inside. I'm making some rice gruel for you.
- Where... - House provided by my company.
- You... - I saved you.
- Why? - Why did I do such a thing?
Well, saving you?
I knew you'd ask me that.
There's an old saying.
"Save a stranger from the sea, and she becomes your enemy."
All the old sayings are true. Goodness.
All right. It's ready.
Let's eat.
All right.
Here you go.
It's hot. Be careful.
If it's bland, add some soy sauce.
Or do you prefer salt?
But why are you...
Why am I cooking you rice gruel?
No.
- Then what is it? - Why are you dropping honorifics?
Well, it's because...
I'm older.
Thank you.
Eat up.
Miss, I'm here to see the CEO, Cho Hyung Joon.
Did you make an appointment?
I didn't, but I'm sure he's waiting for me...
because he'll get to make money.
My gosh, Ms. Kim. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Well, the desperate one must make the first move.
I see.
Have a seat, please.
Well, hello to you too.
Ms. Ji Soo Hyun.
I heard that you're making a lot, Ms. Kim.
But not as much as your photos.
Did the photos come out nicely?
I must check if they came out nicely before I buy them.
Photos?
What photos?
These are quite the masterpieces.
Bring them in.
Satisfied?
You know, I'm fine with you taking pictures,
but why did you take the model?
The model?
Is that true?
Not model, but the subject of our investigation and victim.
And soon, she'll be filing a report.
We're publishing a story with these photos.
You're obsessed with money, aren't you?
Just say you want more money.
No, I mean it. I'm going to publish this.
Why you...
Tell me the headlines of the stories you're currently editing.
Okay.
Hold that one.
I said to stop it.
The chief editor will give you new instructions.
Soo Hyun, why are you doing this?
What? Do you want to be a journalist again or something?
Do you want...
to go back to throwing up while complaining about your editor,
and having me hold your hair and sell drinks?
Is that what you want?
I don't care how you or I live.
I'll give you a day for old times' sake.
Pack what you can and get out.
Or you'll be taken down along with Nam Jin Suk.
Soo Hyun? Sit down.
No. I'm publishing the story, and that's that.
Soo Hyun.
What's wrong with her?
Are you mad at me or something?
Hey. That story cannot be published.
If it is, you're all fired.
Okay.
Do something about her, will you?
What is it, ma'am?
Bring me the photos that Seok Joo took this morning.
Pardon? Why?
And go to Heung Soon's shop and bring their ledger tonight...
before Nam Jin Suk covers his tracks.
Yes, ma'am.
Don't tell anyone, and don't let Mr. Cho find out.
Yes, ma'am.
Let's chat.
- What's the reason? - Reason?
I plan to publish the story.
We can't just sell pictures all the time.
We should publish some exclusives at times.
Isn't Heung Soon's business perfect?
But why does it have to be a current prosecutor?
This isn't just a celebrity taking drugs.
She could eat feces, and it wouldn't be news.
Celebrities taking drugs isn't news.
It's news because he's a current prosecutor.
Is that really all?
Of course.
Fine, let's do that then.
Check the other issues...
and publish it in a few days.
But I feel bad for Choi Seok Hee.
Not only is her acting career over once those photos are out,
how will her parents live? They'll be so ashamed.
Since when does the cat care about the mouse?
You're right.
Fine. Let's publish it.
Mr. Cho. What you're saying is, she's impossible to persuade, right?
Find Seo Hee. We're in trouble.
What?
Sunday won't listen?
Sunday, I can stop with money.
But if Seo Hee goes around talking, we're all dead.
We have to find her quickly before Mr. Nam finds out.
Call all the boys.
Wouldn't it be better to threaten Sunday and find out...
- where she is... - Don't even try.
Even if all of you go at them,
you can't even take down their driver.
And you. Do your job.
How could you lose one girl?
The money I gave Sunday is coming out of your cut.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E15 'Big Issue' "No Turning Back" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Lie down.
The medicine will help you sleep.
Don't think about anything, and sleep.
Mister.
Yes?
You saw...
my pictures, right?
I'm a bad person. Don't be so good to me.
No.
You're just...
a victim of a crime.
And...
it's okay. I'm a bad person too.
Well... Bad people should help each other,
don't you agree?
Get some sleep.
If I sleep more,
can I awake from this nightmare?
Once those pictures...
are published,
my dad may pass away from the shock.
I think I made a huge mistake.
I should've just died quietly on my own.
Seo Hee.
I have a daughter too.
Dads will never die from things like that.
Trust me.
If you had died like that last night,
and if your dad had seen that,
your dad...
would've been tortured by the fact that he couldn't save you,
and may have died along with you.
So you need to live no matter what.
If you truly care about your dad, that is.
Did you make a decision?
Shouldn't you ask how I'm doing first?
I heard from Ms. Seo that you're perfectly fine.
Where's Seo Hee?
Did you make a decision?
Yes, I did.
From now on,
she is the source for our story.
We must protect her.
She's in my apartment.
You hid her so well.
I'll send a car. Take her to my place.
It'll be better than there.
What a nice place.
Is this a villa?
You have to wipe up the tracks from the wheelchair.
Hello, ma'am.
Get up and greet me properly.
Now that you've greeted me,
you may stay seated from now on.
Okay.
Do you know who I am?
She must have given the tip to Sunday because she knows.
Please do not interrupt me.
Listen to me.
I met with your boss today.
What?
Don't worry.
I'm much scarier than Heung Soon.
Okay.
Do you know why I went through the trouble of bringing you here?
I'm going to interview you personally.
When your story is published tomorrow,
Nam Jin Suk will be arrested.
But I don't know if he will be indicted...
because he is still an active-duty prosecutor.
Why not? He's a criminal.
You have the photos.
Do you feel this is unfair? Then you must fight too.
That is the reason why I must interview you.
In a few days, you will be summoned by the police...
and will be interrogated.
During your interrogation, you'll be threatened and appeased.
Afterward, even you will be confused what the truth is,
what the lies are, what you said,
and what was done to you.
That's why you will tell me in advance...
so that the truth doesn't change in there.
Do you understand?
You'd better prepare yourself.
And make sure you eat well too.
And you must tell me everything...
that was done to you from start to finish.
Tell me everything that happened in your life...
since your birth to this point.
I will listen to your story.
Okay.
What's wrong with her? I told her I can pay her more.
It's because...
you don't know anything about my chief editor, Soo Hyun.
For me to efficiently persuade her not to publish the story,
we must solve the problem with Choi Seo Hee.
Seo Hee? What's wrong with her?
You must give her up.
Why would I? So many of my clients are asking for her.
Right now, Soo Hyun's target isn't the prosecutor.
She's doing this because of that girl, Seo Hee.
Why would she do that? Do they know each other?
It's not that.
A long time ago,
when Soo Hyun was a new journalist at Anguk Daily.
this happened during her scoop with Sunflower Center.
Hello, we talked on the phone. I'm Ji Soo Hyun from Anguk Daily.
Hello.
Let's go.
The victim was living at her aunt's house.
Her uncle-in-law raped her, and she had his baby.
I guess she was investigating a story on a single mother.
And they took my baby as soon as I delivered the baby.
I really miss my baby.
She listened to the sad story of...
a single mother who really wanted to meet her baby.
I'll help you meet your baby.
She ended up making a stupid promise that...
she would help her meet her baby.
Well, that was when she was proud to be a journalist.
So she bravely barged into the aunt's home...
taking the single mother along with her.
Without having a chance to act like a hotshot journalist,
the family members of the uncle who was arrested...
assaulted her.
- Stop hitting her! - Get lost!
- How dare you? - How dare you come here?
- And she... - How dare you?
- lost her consciousness. - It's all your fault!
Do you even know what you did?
When she woke up later,
she found out that...
the single mother died on the scene.
Please check.
Wait. You cannot touch her.
Well, the single mother died because of Soo Hyun.
That could be true.
Or not.
Do you understand now?
When she sees...
a woman who has been assaulted, she goes berserk.
She never compromises.
So what is your plan then?
If she never compromises...
There is an exception.
It's when the victim wants to settle.
The victim? Me?
Choi Seo Hee.
What does she want the most out of this?
When I was 22,
I started as a trainee at Arong, the talent agency.
I'd been a trainee for four years.
Two years ago, Ms. Kim...
That was when I started to entertain her clients.
I trusted her promise that she'd help me become famous.
Who are the clients you entertained?
I don't remember all of them.
In the beginning, I didn't even know who they were.
I used to just entertain any men that were brought to me.
Welcome, Mr. Gong. Please have a seat.
Why is he here?
I invited him. We should send Seo Hee...
to his agency.
Why would I?
Why would I give my best talent to someone else?
"Why would I?"
You should think again carefully.
Think about the moment Seo Hee goes to the police.
We can only stop Soo Hyun with this.
An agency with a lot of idol singers and trainees.
An agency Seo Hee would consider starting afresh at.
Well, I'm not taking her because I want to.
No one wants to recruit a newbie actress.
They don't bring in any money.
Besides,
she comes with a bomb that might go off in any minute.
If only he didn't have what he has on me.
Who knows? She might be a talented actress.
Do you think everyone can act?
Well, she does have a great body though.
Well,
If you don't like it, forget about it.
In exchange, I will tell my kids...
to buy drugs from you. Happy now?
Gosh.
Look at you smiling.
Everyone is out.
Okay. Let's start now.
Hold on. Wait.
I'm sorry, but your outfit doesn't suit the dress code of our club.
You may not enter.
Dress code? Wait, she and I are wearing similar outfits.
I'm sorry, but your hairstyle isn't suitable either.
You're unbelievable.
Are you kidding me? Everyone is going in.
- Hey! - Welcome, ma'am.
It's her!
I heard that you are with her.
Please go in.
Unbelievable.
Episode 16 will air shortly.)
(Episode 16)
- This is nice! - Myung Ja.
Let's go in. Have a seat.
Must you draw so much attention?
Why did you bring singers with you?
It's okay. I'm a regular here.
Plus, they all know who I am.
And we need to do this much to get the VVIP room.
The last room on the right is Heung Soon's office.
I'll give you a signal later.
Go get the ledger.
So you want me to swipe it alone while you party with them?
Isn't the plan awesome?
I wish all of our missions were like this.
Are you there to play? Focus.
Okay, let's drink!
No, no. Like this.
What's wrong with her?
- Nice. - Let's drink.
She's totally here to party.
- Clink! - Okay. Cheers.
There they are!
My baby. Come on.
My wish is finally coming true.
Hey, did you order those?
Yes. When else would I get to order that?
Hey! Aren't those 100,000 dollars a bottle?
What? Hey, Myung Ja.
You're paying for this. We won't reimburse you.
Over here!
Here's the champagne that you ordered.
Bring me what I gave you before.
Okay, everyone. Drink your energy drink,
and let's party till we drop!
- Cheers! - Let's party.
And sir?
You can't let Heung Soon know that I'm here, got it?
If she tells my chief editor, I'm dead.
Of course not.
Thanks a bunch.
7-7...
Oh my gosh.
- Go in. - Thank you.
Hey!
- This is boring. Have fun. - Okay.
- Don't be late for work tomorrow. - Bring it here.
I'll pour it.
Bring it here.
2-5-6-0.
It'll take forever to try all the combinations.
I'm going to run to the bathroom.
- Okay. - Go ahead.
- Let's drink. - Drink up.
Drink up.
- Come here. - Cheers!
Eat a little too. Eat that.
What are you doing?
- That too. - Hurry it up.
Drink.
Drink. Drink. Drink.
- Let's drink! - Bottoms up!
Cheers!
Nice.
Come to think of it,
I think there were many prosecutors, members of conglomerate families,
people like that.
I didn't realize it then,
but they had been drugging me and making me drink alcohol.
I have a daughter too.
Dads will never die from things like that.
Trust me.
If you had died like that last night...
I was beaten a lot.
and if your dad had seen that,
- your dad... - I wanted to report them...
would've been tortured by the fact that he couldn't save you,
and may have died along with you.
- I wanted to die. - So you need to live...
- no matter what. - I didn't matter.
If you truly care about your dad, that is.
No one would even miss me.
Do you think that too?
Do you think Mr. Han is right?
Would my dad...
be able to forgive a daughter like me?
I never had children,
and I never had a dad like that, so I don't know.
But Mr. Han doesn't lie.
But don't trust him completely either.
There are all sorts of dads in this world.
Think about it.
Nam Jin Suk is a dad too when he goes home.
Don't think about living for your dad.
Live for yourself.
Don't rely on anyone else. You must fight yourself.
Once you go into that interrogation room, no one can help you.
But you're helping me.
We're just using you.
We're preparing a scoop to publish as an exclusive.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
The prosecutors who will question you are Nam Jin Suk's friends.
They may even question both of you in the same room.
They'll put you in the same room with the jerk who beat you.
Do you think...
your brain will function properly in that situation?
You must become tougher than they are,
or you can't beat them.
Forget what Mr. Han said.
Forget your dad.
All you can rely on is your will and determination.
Okay.
I'll do that.
(Mr. Cho Hyung Joon)
Hello?
Mr. Nam. You should've told me you were coming...
Where's Seo Hee?
I sent her to the hospital.
You can't treat my asset like that.
She was damaged so badly, she can't work for a while.
Fine.
Then you'll just have to...
fill in for her.
Pardon?
Take her upstairs.
Take who upstairs? What are you doing?
Let go. Let go of me.
Let go of me, you jerks! You jerks!
Help!
Let go!
Go to her club right now and bring me the ledger.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
I got a good one.
She's so pretty.
Boss, you should've called first.
You idiot. You have no idea what's going, do you?
Scram.
Hey, are you all right? Hey.
Ms. Lee.
What happened? What's going on?
I added some sleeping pills in advance.
How dare they try to drug me?
But what about the ledger?
(Ms. Seo)
I'm sorry.
We failed to get the ledger. Her manager beat us to it.
It's fine. Thank you for your effort.
It's been settled that Seo Hee will go to Mr. Gong's agency.
You all should go home now.
What did she say?
She's over the moon.
She doesn't have to be interrogated by the scary police.
And she believes she might actually have a chance...
to be an actress if she goes to a big agency like his.
What do you think?
My opinion doesn't matter. Her opinion does.
To those who believe there is hope, there is hope.
To those who don't believe in hope, there is none.
You don't seem surprised or angry.
Angry? At Mr. Cho?
Why he gave Seo Hee to Mr. Gong without talking to me first?
Yes.
Then...
did you know that he would solve this with a plan like this?
He and I have been working together for a long time.
He probably saw right through me from the get-go.
Perhaps,
I might have been waiting for him to do what he did...
since we couldn't take care of her even if we wanted to.
Good job.
You saved that girl.
No. You saved her.
I just sent her back to chaos.
Go get me a shirt. You know my size, right?
Yes, sir.
- You go up and get rid of her. - Yes, sir.
I brought you the ledger.
(Prosecutor Nam Jin Suk)
(Entertainment: Kim Jenny, assaulted)
Now,
you should run this place.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Seo Hee is going to move to Gong Entertainment Agency.
Intercept her before she gets there, okay?
Yes, what should I do when I take her?
What do you think?
If things go south, we must bury her with that witch,
so she doesn't go to the police.
I understand, sir.
Meanwhile, I should find a way to...
destroy these lowlifes, Sunday or Monday or whoever they are.
Shouldn't you ask how I'm doing first?
I heard from Ms. Seo that you're perfectly fine.
What a jerk.
Good job.
You saved that girl.
If you had said, "I'll treat your daughter,"
"so be my slave for life,"
I would've been more touched.
That could've gone better.
But...
what is your relationship with him that...
you're requesting his treatment?
Me?
I am Han Seok Joo's...
New family?
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E16 'Big Issue' "Prosecutor Nam’s Resolve" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Open up the windows. It smells.
Ta-da. I don't know how it tastes. I haven't cooked it for a while.
It looks appetizing.
You're not going to join us?
You should eat. I don't eat breakfast.
We should eat. Dig in.
You shouldn't put spoons in the pot when you're sharing the stew.
You should each have a bowl.
Okay.
Bring me a bowl too. Let me just have a taste.
Seeing how Mr. Gong sent you a van,
it doesn't look like he'll mistreat you.
Thank you.
I will become a successful actress...
- and repay... - Just go.
Yes, pay her back.
Not being photographed by us is a way to do that.
Okay.
With a confession of a former accountant from Yoosung Group,
Yoosung Group's fraudulent accounting...
has become the center of the typhoon.
The Fair Trade Commission has been investigating...
the process of Yoosung Group's takeover...
and officially announced the start of their investigation based on...
the confession of the former accountant that the company...
committed accounting fraud...
while evaluating the values of its subsidiaries' stocks.
What is it?
It's nothing. Let's go to work.
Seo Hee. Are you feeling better?
It's fine.
(Restricted Number)
Who is this?
I'm the guy you took photos of two days ago.
So what?
You don't want to sell the photos.
No, we plan to keep the photos.
Come on, I have the right of publicity.
You can't keep someone else's photos without his consent.
I've received a request from the woman also in the photos.
Who? Choi Seo Hee?
She's with her previous manager.
Should I have him call you?
If you don't believe me, check it with Gong Entertainment.
I started the car...
What is it? Did something happen?
I'll send you the money for the photos.
Just take the money and write me the receipt like you always did.
Otherwise, Ms. Choi Seo Hee says she wants to disappear forever.
She says she hates going to the police more than dying.
If you lay a finger on her,
you're done for.
- Well... - We just got this breaking news.
- Sure. - A shocking drug case...
that even a current prosecutor participated in was reported.
According to Sunday Syndicate that provided the exclusive,
a drug ring, disguised as modeling and talent agency,
established a club in the heart of Gangnam...
and have been dealing drugs for club goers and celebrities.
It has been revealed that Nam, a current prosecutor,
who frequented the club, had been receiving...
sexual entertainment from a new actress...
from the agency.
No.
You stabbed us in the back.
Poor Seo Hee.
Hey. Speed it up if you want to go home today.
Move quickly.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
Are you awake?
Seo Hee. The boys are tired from digging.
But it was worthwhile.
I got promoted thanks to you.
- Are you okay? - Who are you, punk?
Do you want to die?
What are you waiting for? Get up there.
Why you...
- Who are you? - Mister!
Are you okay?
- Who is he? - Are you okay?
Get up.
You jerk.
(Ms. Ji Soo Hyun)
Hello, Ms. Ji. It's me, Driver.
The driver?
Sunday Syndicate's driver?
I found Seo Hee.
Yes, the van really was a fake.
I'll bring her back.
What should I do with these jerks?
Should I just bury them?
(Police Escort)
Who was there?
Were there celebrities with you?
Tell us.
Please give us a statement.
(Prosecutor Nam Jin Suk and Others Arrested For Drug Trafficking)
You wanted it to get out, right?
Regardless, you got what you wanted.
You should've given me a heads up.
I got the call early this morning too.
They wanted something to distract from the Yoosung story.
I didn't see the need to wake up my employee.
Plus, my employee wanted this too.
That's right. This is what I wanted.
Look this way.
Please look this way.
- Do you have anything to say? - How do you feel?
- Please look this way. - A statement, please.
Over here.
Dad.
(I love you, Seo Hee.)
Wait at home.
It's cold out.
(I'll wait here.)
Please give us a statement.
Choi Seo Hee?
Who are you?
I'm your attorney.
What? I...
You must not say anything other than what I permit...
from this moment on.
I will make all the statements for you.
Do you know me?
Yes. I read everything you said last night...
and looked through it.
That's enough to say I know you, right?
Ms. Ji, situation room.
(Brightening the present despair with hope for the future.)
I'm sorry for causing you concern, Deputy Chief.
I'm sorry, sir.
Once I get out of here,
I'll restore the reputation of prosecutors somehow.
No.
You don't need to worry about things like that.
You just have to take care of your problem.
Right here.
Do it yourself.
- Sir. - That is...
how you can help us.
Sir.
Please...
Please give me a chance.
Should I help you?
If you can't do it yourself, I will.
(Big Issue)
You didn't get anything last night?
This is Ahn Hyung Joon, a variety show producer at a TV station.
He's going to drive while intoxicated.
Did he die?
What happened to the hostage?
You want me to stop the heart transplant again?
I'm not asking you to kill the girl.
Well, there is no rest for the wicked.
I really wanted to thank you.
Isn't that your area of expertise, Soo Hyun?
I should stop being a paparazzo first.
It's a vicious cycle he can't escape from...
until he dies or you throw him away.
Geosan Hospital...
uses H-One's security team, right?
