01x11 - Trigger Unleashed

Post by bunniefuu »

- Assemblyman Cho!
- Assemblyman Cho!

When is Hanju planning to release
their official statement?

Who was Ms. Cho referring
to when she mentioned, "their doing"?

Do you have any comments
on that recording of your sister?

What are your thoughts on
the allegations that the Trigger producers

are being pressured by an external force?

Gosh, uh… you're all doing great work.

Sir, please help us pass
the Chanbyeol Act.

I'll do…

everything that I possibly can

to pass this critical legislation.

- Hang in there.
- Thank you.

- We could really use your help, sir.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Uh…

"JUSTICE FOR CHANBYEOL!
TOUGHEN THE LAWS AGAINST CHILD ABUSE!"

- Good luck.
- Please help us, Assemblyman.

- …protect our children.
- Do the right thing, sir.

Assemblyman, a word!

We demand
that you pass the Chanbyeol Act into law!

Pass the law!
Pass the law! Pass the law!

They're filthy, like a virus.

I can't believe they grabbed my hand.

Trigger

EP11: TRIGGER UNLEASHED

Weren't we expecting this outcome
with the Chanbyeol Act?

We expected that
it would be shot down anyway.

I had an alternate script ready,
just in case.

Flip through it.

They've installed more
since yesterday.

{\an8}WILL THE CHANBYEOL ACT HAVE A CHANCE?

{\an8}"PROPERTY REGISTRY"

I went through everything,

starting with the land sites
registered under Hanju.

"REAL ESTATE REGISTRY"

{\an8}HJ HOTEL

{\an8}HANJU SHIPPING

{\an8}HANJU GROUP ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

CHO HAEWON, CHO JINMAN

This is their family burial plot,
and that's their villa?

Hanju owns over 800 acres
of the forest to the north of that villa.

They own a lot of land.

They're not even old money.
They're fakes. Nouveau riche.

Cho Jinman's great
and great-great grandfathers

received the land for selling out
their country back in the day.

Kids don't care where your money
comes from nowadays.

If you've got the money, you're golden.

Money can rewrite history.

Apparently, they made the cemetery
in the '90s.

It's where Cho Haewon, Cho Taesu,
and the rest of them are buried.

I feel like something's off
about that place.

Where'd you get the footage?

I'm sure it wasn't public.

It was only for employees
on Hanju's intranet.

We got a mole though.

Is it Hwang Jinwoo?

If this keeps up,
they might get back together.

- Don't you think?
- No, once you break up,

it's over for good, that's it.

That love never goes away though.

What do you know about love anyway, huh?

You know nothing about love.

Oh, sh*t!

Mr. Han, have you been
to the national assembly?

What happened
with the Chanbyeol Act?

Shot down as expected.

Damn, I saw that coming. Those b*stards.

Whoa, whoa, hey,
what the heck? You can't…

What are you all doing?

Get back to work.

Stop hanging out
if it's not for work, okay?

And send back the plant
that's on Soryong's desk.

- Why?
- 'Cause the higher-ups

don't like it, that's why.

- Whoa, Chief, that's a bit...
- That's an order, huh?

Have it sent back today.

Mr. Han, you make sure that episode
gets aired as planned.

Wow, what the hell?

I don't think
Ms. Oh would be cool with that.

Just like that.

You need to go around
at least eight times

in order to get the ice
all perfectly smooth.

I'm sure you're tired,
all this new kind of work.

Oh, no, I'm doing fine.
This is nothing.

Thanks for showing me around.

I'm a big fan of yours.

It truly is an honor to see you so often.

Ah. Right.

So there are fewer accidents,
when the rink's nice and smooth?

You bet. That's what makes
this job important.

I'll get going now.

All right, see you.

Hello?

Is this Ms. Oh Soryong?

Yeah, this is she.

Listen here, you b*tch!

If Hanju goes down,
Korea goes down with it.

Who the hell are you to b*tch at them

with your little truth-seeking missions
and shitty press conferences?

If you mess with Hanju...

- Don't yell at me, sir. I'm hanging up.
- What the hell did you say?

You freaking...

All right.

How many of you assholes
want to rip me a new one?

That's right, it's Oh Soryong.
Start cussing.

Sorry?

This is Wi Jongu,
reporter in the News department.

Huh?

News… News department?

I saw your press conference
and thought that I should get in touch.

So you're saying they prevented you
from writing an article on this?

Okay, so he's looking at his phone.

I'm sure you know
how good cameras have gotten.

Anyway, I zoomed in to see
what he was looking at, and then, uh…

Remember last year's Chanbyeol case?

A five-year-old died of ruptured organs

after his step-dad sexually assaulted him.

Yeah.

They were voting
on the Chanbyeol Act, finally…

an act against child abusers
that had been pending a year.

And this as*h*le doesn't vote,

just looks at a pornographic website.

But I wrote a piece on it
and sent it to the desk.

- They k*lled it immediately.
- And what was their reason?

It was completely ridiculous.

Hanju articles were stopped
after President Koo took over.

Cho Taesu's death rumors,
Hanju's tax evasion,

and Cho Jinman's ill*gal
election activity,

it's all been blocked.

So then…

why'd you come here to tell me this?

As a news guy,

I'm a little embarrassed
coming to you with this

but it looks like your team
has amassed quite a lot of data.

So why don't we share all of our findings

and work together from here?

I can't do that.

What?

I'm not at Trigger anymore.

Nope, I can't.

At least, not officially.

{\an8}DAEYONG RETAIL

You're here.

Chief, what's going on?

You got me good.
I thought they'd won you over too.

- I'm a half-decent actor, huh?
- Jeez.

Come on, there's CCTV
and watchful eyes all around the company.

One wrong move could be bad.

So, we'll operate here,
as a rogue guerrilla unit.

It's just us two?

Oh, no. We should call for backup.

Who?

Is Ms. Oh coming?

Uh, she should be here any minute now.

Ah.

There you are.

Ms. Hong.

This better be good.
I'm buried in work.

Ooh, what's with all the pretty lights?

There's too many eyeballs at the studio,

and the chief's father's
in care right now.

Did you get your dad's permission though?

I'm sure he didn't ask.

Let's hope his dad doesn't smack him.

Hey now, I'm the one
who pays the rent these days.

Also, I can't believe
you're working on something else

with what's going on at Trigger.

What's that?

Did someone bring a plant?

Courtesy of Cho Haewon.

Why do you think Cho Haewon
had this plant sent to us before she died?

Why would she do that?

Could she have written her final words
on the petals, you think?

- Not much room for that.
- Hey, you never know.

Some people write on grains of rice.

Whoa, put that down.

It's okay.
I just want to look at it in the light.

Any words?

Nothing there.

What if we smashed it?

Without knowing if it's evidence or not?

- Well, yeah, that's why we smash it.
- Hmm?

- Hey, what… what is that?
- What is it?

There's the boss lady.

Oh, wow.

Why all these lights?
Didn't you say it closed down?

It was a bit drab in here,
so I turned all the lights on.

Turning up late? Bad look for a host.

Ugh, give me a break.
It's a massive ice rink.

You should see it. I'm dead tired.

You're here.

Is it a remote?

Or a key?

It's something like that, right?

Good thinking.

They're so set in their ways,
they would never think

to smash that thing open
in a million years. Nice work.

Was that some kind of jab
at us 'cause we're old?

- Vaguely offensive.
- Okay.

I think I'm gonna get
a nice stone massage.

Don't be like that.
You're not going anywhere.

We're all here now.

I think I'm built for teamwork.

It's just, um…
seeing the team back together,

it just warms my heart,
it's so nice.

This place though.
Kinda feels like a Trigger knock-off.

I think it's neat.

We'll do it right here.

What could it be?

Ms. Hong, you ever seen
something like that

in a past episode of ours?

I can't check without the case files.

Yeah.

Now that you mention it,

I got all our case files right here.

They've all been digitized.

No way.

Wait, so that's why
you kept asking for those?

I'd say I got great foresight, huh?

Had I done it in the open,
I'm sure Koo would've stopped it.

See that?

And that right there's
why I respect the chief.

You know that, right?

So, you're good for something after all.

You thought I became chief
by getting chummy with the bosses?

Ugh, these cheap chairs
are k*lling my back.

- Could you please get some better ones?
- Does that mean you're in?

Don't be ridiculous.
I can barely finish my script.

- Jang's a handful, isn't he?
- Why'd you have to mention that as*h*le?

I'm gonna be sick.

You left Trigger
to buddy up with that jerk-off?

We're not buddies!

- So annoying! Ugh, seriously.
- Ah, that's cold.

So you're playing footsie then?
What do you guys like to call it?

- This is your fault! Your fault, Mr. Han!
- Ugh, cut it out!

I'll get nice seats if you stay.
You're even more irritable since you left.

Just stop talking!

- God!
- Why are you freaking out so much?

CHO HAEWON, CHA SEONGWOOK

CHO JINMAN

Cho Jinman is the only one

who's still alive.

I'll take care of this stuff.

Han Do, try to find
where she hid the sculpture.

Head out to the villa, have a look around.

And Chief, find a cop who can authenticate

the disciplinary action
request form, okay?

Who's gonna find out
about the remote thingy?

"SMART KEY? RECORDER? REMOTE?"

That thing…

could be that Haewon's
just trying to mess with us.

I'll look into what it is.

Don't expect too much though.

Samgyeopsal and soju?
It's been a while since we were together.

That's all.

Yes, ma'am.

Has she gotten even scarier?
What do you think?

She's kinda always like that.

She is a bit more excited than usual.

- Can you give me a ride?
- Where's your car?

Oh, I didn't drive here.

Hey, hey, see that?

Soryong definitely drove here.

Huh… that is a bit scary.

Still cool though.

He's just as scary as she is.

It's about time to go back.

Yeah, that's why I'm taking you home.

No, I meant you going back
to our show as a head writer.

The show just isn't the same
without your scripts, Nahee.

Every g*n needs a trigger.

Park Daeyong's still there, isn't he?

Fine.

Whether you go back or not,
it's up to you, Ms. Hong.

But me…

I want your writing
to get the respect it deserves.

That sleazeball, Jang, only sees
your writing as a source of income.

All you care about is your writing.

You love people and their stories.

Whether it's fiction or not,

I just want you to think long and hard
about whatever stories

you want to write
and put out in the world.

That's all I got.

Drop me off here.

I'll take you all the way. I don't mind.

If you plan on going back to Trigger,
I'll stay in the car.

If not, I can just get out he... Whoa!

Man.

So quickly. I'm insulted.

At least help me with this.

A photo Cho Jinman was looking at
while at the National Assembly,

but it's not a normal photo.

It's from a website or app,
something online.

I'd appreciate it if you looked into it.

ASAP, okay?

It's nice to catch up.

Christ.

K-drama's future queen. Fighting!

Are you being sarcastic?

Off you go.

It's been so long.
Why did you take off like that?

It's been so long.
Why'd she take off, huh?

Why'd I send that?

What?
Did you want to talk about something?

I've been watering your plant.
Don't worry about it.

Get home safe.

What the heck?

Here.

Go ahead, take it.

I saw they put you down
for another night shift, Ms. Oh.

This is obviously
blatant harassment, right?

Oh, well…

- they want me out of the company.
- Mm-hmm.

The thing is though,
I'm tenacious, you know?

Can't you see how much
your standards are k*lling me, Ms. Oh?

Come on, just go back to your old job.

Why, sir? I like this place.

I might just settle here for good.

Oh, gosh. Go right ahead then.

Okay then. I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, see you.

Yes, Mr. Hwang, did you find anything?

This right here
is a proximity-based tracker.

Huh?

Used by European spies
back in the day.

This thing's a classic.

Seeing this device used today
is actually quite fascinating.

Now, I happen to have a pair
that's similar to this on hand.

Check this out.

This type of equipment is always linked
to a counterpart piece

when it's manufactured.

When their counterparts
are within range like this,

the alarm inside will keep getting
quicker and quicker, like this.

But once you put more distance
between them…

…the alarm sounds a little more like…

It should… it should slow down…

give me a sec.

Uh, I think my office is too small.

I'll go outside
to put more distance between them.

- You keep watching.
- Yeah, okay.

Okay, you heard that, right?

- Yeah.
- And now, you see the lights over here?

The lights are gonna blink
faster and faster

the closer the device
is to its counterpart.

So being able to find them
should be pretty easy.

Ah.

Hey, uh, where's the other part
of that set?

So it's a location tracker.

I have stored this sculpture safely away

in our final destination.

I assure you of that, Ms. Oh Soryong.

She wants us to use it.

According to the confidential
document your father left behind

there were four men
who received disciplinary action

for losing the evidence.

Out of the four, one is dead,
and two are still working for the police.

Kim Gyenam, the ringleader,
is now a police station chief.

The fourth one quit the force
and now works security.

So he shared responsibility.

And the one who took a bribe

and destroyed evidence
became a station chief?

Just be glad he's not chief of police.

By asking the police to verify
the files your father left us,

we'd only be tipping them off
on what our next move would be,

so for now, let's just put that on hold.

You'll fact-check everything.

It wasn't easy to get this.

I had to go through an informant of mine.

"COPS RELATED TO CHA SEONGWOOK"

I don't have complete faith in you yet,

but I'll go along, only 'cause I know
that Soryong does trust you.

Don't mess this up.

I started having faith.

In… in me?

No, in myself.

Been seeing you a lot.

Heard you moved back home.

Did our talks about Dad…

stir up some family love?

You crazy?

It's just till I find something else.

What brings you here?

Remember that prick at the funeral?

Is this the guy?

Did you happen to find anything,

something in your dad's vehicle?

Oh, yeah, that's the guy.

Do these guys look familiar?

This guy.

The others were goofing around, talking.

He was the only one…

not saying much, just drinking.

He should have stayed in narcotics

instead of sticking his nose
where it didn't belong.

God…

Bravo to that Mensa memory of yours.

I'm not used to your compliments.

You've changed lately.

- I'll be going now.
- Hey, Do.

About what happened…

to your finger.

I'm sorry.

You know how scary our father was.

I was too young to know any better.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you.

Oh, and…

we're square now.

Hanju's history
is far more bloodthirsty

twisted and ruthless…

…than you can imagine.

If in the near future…

anything happens to me…

don't believe what they tell you.

'Cause they did it.

If you had…

done it when you had a chance,

I wouldn't…

No,

our Hanju group would not have had
to suffer such indignities.

That make sense?

Don't you think?

President Koo?

Viewers can't get enough of Oh Soryong.

Did she save the country
in a past life or something?

She's one of a kind, for sure.

I've already relieved her of her position.

She'll continue her tenure at an ice rink.

I've done my part, Assemblyman Cho.

The Trigger team is not worth our time now
with Ms. Oh out of the picture.

And the entire KNS News Department also...

Then you'd better step up

and start flapping
that mouth of yours now.

We've got to take a stance
with an official statement.

We need a plan,
or we need to cover this up

with something else.

Isn't this what we hired you for, huh?

Listen, I am Koo Hyeongtae,
the president of KNS.

In the manipulation of public opinion,

there's nuance to the process,
this isn't high school AV class.

It's much more involved than that.

You got a lot of nerve, don't you?

You're just a glorified
company mouthpiece.

Do your damn job as the company shill.

My father gave you that position.

Do you really think

I can't just take it away?

If this isn't covered up
within three days…

…I guarantee you'll be stepping down.

Serve me an abalone.

So you like abalone, huh?

Every once in a while.

Mr. Kim Yonggyun?

What do you want?

Han Do.

I'm a producer with Trigger at KNS.

You investigated the Cha Seongwook case


I've got some questions
to ask you about it.

I'm the son
of the late Detective Han Donghyeok.

You were at the funeral, weren't you?

Cho Haewon said she confessed
to murdering Cha Seongwook,

but it didn't make a difference.

I thought it was open-and-shut.

We only had a piece of the remains,
but she admitted to doing it.

We thought we'd have a chance

once the forensics team delivered us the…

results we asked for.

But the evidence went missing.

Not only that, but

the very next day a bunch
of Hanju lawyers came in.

Less than 24 hours after our arrest.

They shaped the narrative to a forced
confession from police coercion,

and, well…

Detective, if you had told the truth
to anybody...

If I'd done that…

I would have been k*lled.

I'd heard that Detective Han

was acting on a drug-related tip
on a conglomerate family.

It was Hanju.

I'm sorry about your father.
I'm partially responsible, after all.

Please make sure
not to show my face,

like we agreed.

Of course.

Thank you for speaking up,
even though it took this long.

By the way,

not sure if this would fit
into your episode, but…

I remember something else.

About when Cho Haewon came in
to the station for questioning.

I don't know if it's because
of the family she grew up in,

but despite her young age,

she was composed for someone

who turned herself in for m*rder.

Did you visit the victim's home
that day intending to m*rder him?

- No, I didn't.
- She never lost her cool once

during her testimony,

or showed any signs of agitation.

As a violent crimes detective,
I've met my fair share of crazies,

but I had never met a girl
who gave off such a strange energy.

I'll ask you,
how much detail should I go into?

But…
when Hanju came to take her back,

- I don't know, it was strange.
- Let go! Let go!

Let go! I k*lled him.

I thought she'd be happy
to get away with it

after stabbing us in the back,

but it really felt like she didn't want
to be set free.

She seemed really desperate
to get arrested.

- Lunatic Han!
- Huh?

Weren't you working late tonight?

I changed my shift
to get an update on the case.

Hwang told us to come to get, uh…

A location tracker?

Get in.

Wait, this is Cho Jinman's house.

Wh… why would we come here?

They reached out to us first,
wanting to meet today.

What the hell?

- Hi, I'm Oh Soryong.
- Please wait just a moment.

What was your grand plan if we hadn't run
into each other out there?

What do you mean?

Were you gonna mount a one-woman siege?

I brought you, didn't I?

You really think I'm that reckless?

You could've said
we were headed into enemy territory

so I could've prepared mentally.

You don't need to worry about anything.

I need you to stay with the car.

You're going alone
into the psycho's house? Are you insane?

I've got a custom-made camera,
courtesy of Mr. Hwang,

and I got a stun g*n.

And most importantly,

the location tracker.

Keep the doors locked.

I'm not out in an hour,

you come busting in,
but call the cops first.

Wait.

And what if he catches you filming?
What then?

Then we'll hope my head stays attached.

Lock the doors.

Wait, Ms. Oh, wait. Come back. Hey, wait.

Why is she like this?

I wanted a place
where we could chat in private.

I thought my house was perfect for that.

You k*lled it at that press conference.

Like Wonder Woman, or something.

I'm guessing that

the press can really get on your nerves.

It would be good for you to go ahead
and quit this now while you still can.

Why play the hero
and end up destroying both of us

when you could just…

live and let live?

Hmm?

If you need money,
then by all means, feel free to say so.

You think if money motivated me,

I'd have come this far?

Then how about power?

Oh Soryong, paragon of justice,
the final bastion of Korean morals.

You've got a good portfolio, right?

Sure, you might be on the outskirts
of the company now, working the ice,

although I think having you
as KNS president someday,

would be a nice look.

Do you mean that?

Of course.

I'll give you the push you need.

A really big push, at that.

I think we can both agree
that there's just too many

evil f*ck in this world.

So go out there
and interview all of them if you want to.

Go get 'em all locked up in jail.

You'll do that…

if I stop digging

into Hanju's business?

Give and take, eh?

Well, that won't do.

'Cause it's the Hanju group itself,

your safe place,

that I want to investigate.

I want to see what that rotten stench
is, more than anything.

If you want to see this all through,

go ahead, I'll play along.

You know, my sister loves to…

put on a good show.

Crazy attention-seeker.

All that talk about how Hanju
k*lled her and all that,

it was all just part
of the grand performance.

I was nowhere nearby.

I didn't go near the villa that night.

I'm assuming you don't go there often.

Well, it's a villa.

I do go fishing there
every once in a while.

You think I would've let
my sister stay there

if I'd known that's
why she crawled back to Korea?

I would've gotten her a hotel, at least.

Would you mind…

telling me if Koo had any part…

or any knowledge or involvement
in the death of your sister?

Stop.

This is beginning
to sound like an interview.

Ms. Oh Soryong,

if you film here…

and then proceed to release
any of that footage to the world,

I'll make sure we file both criminal
and civil suits against you.

You'll be on the hook
for more than you'll make in a decade.

What are you so afraid of…

- Mr. Cho?
- I am an assemblyman!

I don't think you know
what it is to be truly afraid yet,

Ms. Oh Soryong.

Would you like to try it?

sh*t.

I thought I'm Wonder Woman.

Nothing scares her.

You never had any intention
of striking a deal.

I guess that's it then.

Get out.

It appears we are speaking
different languages, Soryong.

One more thing, sir.

This.

Do you remember?

Wasn't my first time in assembly.

The Chanbyeol Act vote was that day.

Look.

You seem really distracted.

Damn golf bag keeps falling over.
What a poor design.

That vote happened so long ago.

It could've been a spam message
or something.

I hardly remember the crap I click on.

Hurry up. Get out.

While I'm being nice.

I know the way.

I'll see myself out.

Going around with her is definitely
my ticket to an early grave.

I don't even care anymore.
Just please get out safely.

What the…

Why does he have so many golf bags?

What do you think you're doing?

Hmm.

Why?

What exactly are you doing?

I don't remember you
wearing glasses before…

I just…

Your house is just so big, I…

I couldn't find the way out.

That doesn't give you permission
to scare me though.

Crazy b*tch sure finds her way around.

Are you all right?
You're not hurt, are you?

Man, what took you so long? God…

What about the sculpture? Was it there?

No, it wasn't there.

I don't know if he hid it,
but it wasn't out.

Where's the other half to this guy?

It was quiet in there as well.

Ms. Oh?

Oh.

This hand…

she got a bit scared, I guess.

Let's just get out of here.

You got lucky.

Thanks to that producer wh*re,
you'll live another day.

Hey.

Let's return the product.

I don't want to hear that bullshit.

I said I wanted it returned, so do it!

You listen to what I tell you,
you as*h*le!

What are you doing?

I have a golf bag
as a gift for the assemblyman

but forgot all about it.

A golf bag?

But he doesn't play golf though.

I guess I mixed up my assemblymen.

All right, thanks anyway.

"DAEYONG RETAIL"

So the assemblyman,
who doesn't even play golf,

has this many golf bags?

Sometimes you get the truth
even when someone's lying.

I do go fishing there once in a while.

Gosh.

"RESERVOIR, 728 SEOYEON-DONG,
GWANGCHEON-GU, YANGCHEON"

Well, it's a villa.

I do go…

…fishing there once in a while.

That face says he's hiding something.

- Wait a minute, look at this.
- Huh?

So this here's the villa,
and all this up here is Hanju property.

- Mm-hmm.
- Look, you don't see anything

on the Korean maps.

But if we look at it on a foreign map
where domestic laws don't apply…

What the hell is that? Water?

A lot of water.

I believe we've found Assemblyman Cho's…

secret fishing hole.

NO TRESPASSING

What's wrong with this thing?
Is it broken?

God. Nothing. Not even over here.

If I got to scour the whole Hanju estate,

I'm gonna need
someone good to scout it out.

HANJU RMC

SEOYEON SENIOR CENTER

- Oh, my, a sam-go!
- Yeah, take that!

Whoa!
And I had just gotten over the bak too.

Seven points for me!

SEOYEON SENIOR CENTER

Ugh, Giho's charming smile

could've come in handy
for getting information here.

He's probably off sulking alone somewhere.

Oh, that's mine.

On top of that…

Godori!

All right now. All right, all right now.

And what's next?
That, that, and that as well…

All right then, I'll be taking two cards.

I can't believe
I'm going to be on TV at my age.

By the way,
what were you going to ask us again?

I couldn't help but notice

that Hanju place,
it's quite a lot of land, isn't it?

Huh? Oh, we aren't allowed
to talk about that area.

Oh, no, this isn't about Hanju.

We were just wondering if there were any…

any good spots for fishing near that area.

- That's all.
- Yeah.

He must be talking about
that rundown reservoir.

Speak on that, sir.

Ah, that place?

Well, I'll tell you…

The government checked
that whole area over there

a long time ago.

They say that the water
in that reservoir is highly toxic.

It's toxic?

And since the water is so dark,

even during the day,
when the sun's out,

it makes no difference,
it still feels like night.

Now the locals call the place

Phantom Gate Reservoir.

- Phantom Gate Reservoir.
- Sounds scary.

The water there is deeper than it looks.

But why wouldn't Hanju
do something about it

if it's so scary?

Exactly.

Who knows?

We never went back
over there after that,

so none of us would know.

Hanju's great.

They're the ones who, uh,
who created this senior center for us.

Ah, so Hanju built this place too then?

Oh.

This so-called Phantom Gate Reservoir
This so-called Phantom Gate Reservoir

isn't even a registered facility.

There are no records of water tests
showing toxicity, either.

City Hall said the same thing.

That is suspicious.

Cho Jinman's been up to something too.

I saw a building crew
headed towards the villa.

We may need more than just us two.

Right?

Get Giho for me.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

I am Ms. Oh's right-hand man.

Hey, Ms. Oh needs to borrow your drone.

This?

It's kind of expensive.

Why does she need it?

Uh, well…

How do we know
they're not recording us over there?

Normally, Koo's much more on top
of things going on here.

Exactly, that's why I think

he's watching us right now
through that thing.

"IS SHE GOING AFTER HANJU?"

- This thing's expensive, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

"AND KOO HYEONGTAE?"

Producers!

Apparently, our news outlet's
covering Cho Haewon today.

- What?
- It has been revealed

that Cho Haewon,
the daughter of the Hanju Group Family,

had been suffering from
a psychiatric illness for a long time.

Our very own Lee Jinhyeong
brings you the story.

Our team received medical
records revealing that for over 20 years

Ms. Cho had been suffering
from bipolar disorder.

Frequently showing multiple symptoms

- such as pathological lying…
- That's Koo Hyeongtae's handiwork.

Don't sh**t the message,
sh**t the messenger.

Doing things old school.

The more he tries to cover it up,

the worse the stench gets.

"HANJU LAND DISPLAYS IN
US MAP, NOT KOREAN MAP"

You're going in?
You know how dangerous that is?

Now they're saying
she had a psychiatric illness.

We got to do all we can
'cause now they're hitting below the belt.

- You got it?
- Ms. Oh, how'd you think

to fly a drone over the estate, anyway?

Someone once told me

about their 21st-century
approach to things.

Let the pros handle the heavy machinery.

I got a drone license, you know.

Are you kidding me?

What is this? A drama sh**t or something?

- We can't play with toys, you guys.
- Hey.

A producer's got to see everything
to uncover the real truth.

This is Hanju here.

They've already destroyed
the best evidence,

and they're great at media warfare.

You sure everything's ready?

Come on, Chief,
don't chicken out over this.

- We've handled worse...
- Okay, enough.

All right.

We depart tomorrow

at 5:00 a.m.

NO TRESPASSING

Hmm. Are you all set?

- Just give me a sec.
- Okay.

- If you're ready, let's go.
- All right. Let's do it.

Hakuna matata.

It's time to put
your 21st-century method to the test.

That window.
Try to move up to that window.

Uh…

- Inside. Let's go in as far as we can.
- What the heck?

Everything got burned to a crisp.

All right, turn around.

Go towards their burial plot.

- No signal from there?
- No.

All right.

Now put us over the reservoir.

I searched every media outlet
and only found one article

on the toxicity
of the Phantom Gate Reservoir.

All other references to the toxic water

either directly quoting that article
or referenced it.

But that could mean
that Hanju spread a fake story

about toxic water to make it seem real.

Isn't it more often the other way around?

They must have a reason
to keep people out.

Make sure no one developed
any interest in it.

Nothing obvious is sticking out.

I'll try to move down a little
to see if the tracker responds.

You're sure
it was episode 1551, right?

Like I said, yes.

Is this something important?

I've been going over and over the photo
of Cho Jinman that Ms. Oh sent.

I thought I recognized it.

Then it clicked.

I was looking into the dark web
and I came across a site

that kidnapped and sold girls to VIPs.

"Virgin sl*ve," it was called.

There's got to be dirt hidden somewhere
among all these case files.

- Ugh, come on, move over a little.
- Ah…

Ugh, jeez…

Couldn't he just say that…

he wasn't aware of what he did
and clicked on something on accident?

No, he can't.

You're not able to see
anything on this website

unless you have an account activated.

The fact that he's looking at a photo
is proof he's got an account

and that he was logged in to it.

Ugh, what an as*h*le.

This is one hell of a comeback, Ms. Hong.

I'll let Ms. Oh know right away.

That's as far as it'll go.

I'm turning around.

They found out where the photo
Cho Jinman was looking at came from.

I spotted something.

Oh, my God.

We finally found it.

So, it must be somewhere underwater.

We can't get anywhere near it
on foot though.

What do we do?

- We swim, of course.
- Right.

Huh?

Out of the question! No way, come on!

You didn't hear
the old man say the water's dangerous?

- You know how risky that is?
- Hey, we all knew that was a story

they made up just to keep
people away from there.

Han Do's actually
got a point for once, you know?

We've had some incredibly
close shaves together,

but this one takes the cake, Ms. Oh.

I won't allow it.

No! Over my dead body!

It's not like I'm gonna die.

Come on! You're being so dramatic.

First the parachute and now this?

How can you be so damn irresponsible?

Irresponsible?

I've been scuba certified
for eight years now.

So stop worrying
when I haven't even done anything yet.

You're just so stubborn.
There's no getting through to you.

I can't believe
you didn't check your tank.

Are you sure you're certified?

I know it's low.

I was filming the algal bloom
in the Nakdong River.

Used up all of the air.

- I forgot to fill it back up.
- Were you alone on that one too?

I had no choice.
The guy I hired was late,

and I was out of time.

Wow.

How long will this tank last you?

Around, um…

- 15 min...
- How long, exactly?



Don't worry, come on.

I'll be out before then.

I'm the woman who soared through the air.

I'm gonna fly through the water too.





Seriously, please don't push it.

Relax as much as you can
to conserve air, okay?

Okay.

Oh, Jesus.

They couldn't really have poisoned
the water, right?
