Moby Dick (2011) - full transcript
A mysterious explosion occurs at the Balam Bridge in Seoul on November 20th, 1994. In front of hot-blooded local news reporter Lee Bang-Woo, Yoon Hyeok appears. Yoon Hyeok is from the same hometown as Lee Bang-Woo, but they haven't seen each other in a long time. Yoon Hyeok hands over documents to Lee Bang-Woo and hints that the case of the Balam Bridge was fabricated. In order to uncover the truth behind the case, Lee Bang-Woo teams up with fellow reporters Son Jin-gi and Seong Hyo-gwan. While they dig further for the truth, they come within the cross hairs of men intent on covering up the case. Their office is broken into and they are threatened. Meanwhile, Yoon Hyeok holds the key to case ...
The number who knew
of his existence
and had knowingly given
battle to him
was small indeed.

MOBY DICK
North Korea has agreed to allow
an IAEA inspection
on all seven of its declared
nuclear facilities.
Wake up.
Hey, eat your lunch.
Your lunch!
Thanks.
What's up with them?
What happened to
that report you promised?
'Redevelopment saves us! '
Shut up and eat.
We have to start a war
with them.
And plow up Pyeongyang
to build new buildings.
A nuclear bomb?
We can make that.
Ignorance is your
biggest charm, you know.
You can't make it without
reprocessing facilities.
The smokestacks,
you pathetic idiot.
Then make that first.
Don't call me an idiot!
The inspection would be
successfully carried out.
Hey, this soup is really
delicious.
BREAKING NEWS:
EXPLOSION AT THE BALAM BRIDGE
They hope it would
deter Pyeongyang to?
Give me some money
for the cab.
And now you're rubbing me?
I think I have a scoop.
Is there a new city
about to redevelop?
That's what you say to
get some money from me.
You twit.
Tell me.
See you tomorrow.
What the?
A small fry ran away
with some internal data.
Where would he go?
A news company at best.
Who is it?
This morning,
there was a mysterious explosion
in the Balam Bridge
on the outskirts of Seoul.
The police and troops set up
an investigation headquarters.
This is crazy!
I'm on the site.
What's the problem
if there is a survivor?
It'll be closed any minute.
Just work with the media.
We got the suspect,
so why not announce it?
Being the Attorney General
is not so easy.
You do what you're told to.
Wait.
We can't say anything
about the case yet.
We're investigating
so come later, people.
Hey!
Are you the head
of the team?
Who the?
Two dead and one injured.
In a vegetative state, dammit!
The arms and legs were all...
- Identity?
- No known.
- The motive?
- Dunno.
The government says
it's a spy from the North.
You shouldn't write that.
Okay!
A car bomb.
A spy from the North.
Don't write it!
Alright.
Here.
Hey, it'd be nicer
if you'd put it in an envelope.
How long can you hold it?
Until the night at most.
Until then,
nobody knows it but me.
Alright.
Don't tell anyone.
I know!
Thanks.
Hello.
Here.
YOON Hyeok?
Damn, it's been so long!
How have you been?
What?
You're in the army?
Becoming a real man.
So what is it that
you want to tell me?
Come on.
Hey, coffee for me.
Just a moment.
Yeah, a North Korean spy.
Write it under that subject.
Tell boss
I'll dig into
the Balam case.
Thanks.
The guy who sat here,
do you know where he is?
He left.
What the?
You look happy,
you got a 'dokudie'?
Hey, that's Japanese.
'Scoop' is the word.
Hey!
Hello.
You two don't know
each other?
He's a newcomer,
SON Jin-gi.
- LEE Bang-u, right?
- That's right.
I'm SON Jin-gi.
Nice to meet you.
Glad to meet you.
Remember that election fraud?
He got the 'scoop prize' for it
and got scouted by our boss.
Oh, impressive.
Thank you.
Scout?
It's not a baseball.
Hyo-guan!
Enjoying the chores?
Hey, these are
the only copy.
Rule number one.
Make copies of all documents.
You have a long way
to go, Gal.
You told boss, right?
Hey, boss!
Sorry.
I guess you heard
from Hyo-guan.
A scoop in a long time.
It's the Balam explosion.
Cut the crap.
Already got the report
hours ago.
Two dead, one injured.
It's early to suspect
a North Korean spy.
Bullshit.
SON Jin-gi?
Focus on your case.
When will I get
the list of female speculators?
Detective MA,
you fucking bastard.
God, what's with the rain?
Bang-u.
For the mother of god!
What the?
You crazy little shit!
Sorry for what...
Shut up.
I'm freaking tired.
Go away?
I deserted.
You are hopeless.
Hey, deserter.
You're the man.
I want to desert
from the company.
You'll go back tomorrow.
You hear me?
Yes.
Here's to you!
How did you
get the scar on your thigh?
Huh, my thigh?
The scar?
It's a great story.
Where is it?
I was a star.
Look at this.
A citation.
An exclusive scar.
You know the JEONG
corruption scandal?
There were 20 apple boxes.
So it was 4 billion, right?
What the?
You came to kill me.
What? I don't know
who the hell that is.
You said you'll come alone.
My leg!
Holy shit!
I'm so sorry.
I'm fine.
Don't come closer.
I'll forgive you
if you answer my question.
Is JEONG behind it?
I'll tell you everything.
PARK!
Stop the rotary press!
PARK, you hear me?
Stop the rotary press!
Oh, god.
What's all this?
The Balam explosion.
Is it a symbolic action?
No civilian dead and
there's no announcement.
The patient's not identified
and doctors say nothing.
Just a second.
JEONG Seok-young.
KIM Sang-sik.
PARK Jeong-gil.
How's the patient?
Still in a coma.
The initial target of explosion is
turned out to be the Dream Park.
- Hello, detective.
- Hey, what's up?
You get reports on deserters?
Sure.
Is YOON Hyeok on the list?
- YOON Hyeok?
- Yes.
YOON Hyeok?
- See his name?
- He's not on the list.
- He's not?
- No.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, are you
on something finally?
What's all this?
Where are you going?
The NISI to find out
about the bomb.
Oh, hey.
You majored in engineering.
Yeah, why?
Are you good with these?
It's locked,
can't decode.
I'm off to NISI.
No, sit down.
- Bang-u, line no.3!
- Give it a try.
Hey!
Engineering majors
should unlock a disk.
It takes ages.
Do it for me.
Thanks.
Line no. 3?
Hello?
Hey, where are you going?
Thanks for the money.
Hey!
It's LEE Bang-u.
It's me.
Who, Hyeok?
Where are you?
You got the bag?
Yeah, where are you?
Dongseong Cinema.
What?
Follow me.
I'll play with you.
Think again, ma'am.
Not an easy game.
You could lose big.
- MAENG.
- What's up?
- Info on the new town.
- Alright.
If you keep playing poker,
I'll tell your wife about it.
Bye.
Don't tell her.
You're not on the list.
Who are you?
Where did that bag
come from?
- The Army Security Command.
- What?
You are in the ASC?
You're fucked, man.
Take the bag tomorrow
and you're going back.
They're gonna kill me.
Nonsense!
They are not gonna kill you.
You know
the Balam incident.
Yeah.
What if it's fabricated?
You even know
what it means?
Are you sure about that?
I'm not sure yet.
Ok, so the disks have
the info on Balam.
Yes.
You stay here
for a while.
If he gets in trouble,
no info on new town. Got it?
Yeah.
If there's any problem,
page this number.
2848 meaning
'You're fucked'.
Alright, '2848'.
He got straight flush,
ma'am.
- He's lying.
- I'll stop here.
- It's LEE Bang-u.
- It's me.
Who, Hyeok?
Where are you?
- You got the bag?
- Yeah, where are you?
- Dongseong Cinema.
- What?
So this informant of yours,
can we trust him?
He's my hometown friend.
Don't worry about him.
- Can I come in?
- Yes, you got something?
I have to investigate further.
But the bridge was restricted.
If Dream Park was the target,
why use...
What's this?
So I'll make up a team
on the Balam case.
Make what?
I'm telling you.
This is a page-one scoop.
Then work with SON, here.
He's already on the case.
Good to work with you.
- Here.
- Thanks.
I can't believe it.
You have to agree on something.
What is it?
- Firstly!
- Yes.
My name comes before yours
on the report.
No problem.
It's ok having your name only.
Secondly?
Yeah, secondly?
- You good with computer?
- No.
I knew it.
Is it required?
She's hot!
Hello, sir.
- Do we have a room?
- Sure.
A room?
Lucky bastard!
Here, multi-outlet strip.
Happy to work with you.
You said that before.
Take a look at this.
These are interesting.
This man went missing
and found dead in the sea.
He went missing in Germany,
allegedly killed by the KGB.
Cut the crap.
May I pass through?
Oh, I'm sorry.
My god.
THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT
Hey, we're supposed
to have fun!
You came to the wrong room.
What're you looking at?
I'm sorry.
This is no place to work
with those drunk twits.
The head editor of politics
helped us borrow this room.
Computer is ready.
Alright.
Good.
Try every 4 digits.
That's only about 10,000.
What about the alphabets?
That's over 1,600,000.
Just try it.
We could get the password.
Maybe,
after a year?
What other choice
have we got?
What's in here, anyway?
Info on the Balam incident!
Maybe on other incidents too
if we're lucky.
How about we focus on
our case, Mr. KGB.
Please don't say that.
Go ahead.
Start with 0001.
Dongseong Cinema
PR office.
Hello?
Who is it?
- You liked it?
- Yes, so delicious.
Let's go.
He had lunch and
is headed to a bookstore.
It's freezing to death.
Let's go.
Oh, my god.
My apples!
- Please! Let's go.
- But I just bought them.
Why did you put it there?
- I had to open the door.
- Give me a break.
Let's go.
What did you do in the ASC?
I typed the documents.
Not an easy job.
Did you make
those documents?
No, I didn't
So you don't know
the password.
I guess you've done some observation
and phone-tapping.
Yes, for an inspection.
You mean civilian inspection?
Some of the targets
are dead, now.
For what reason
did you select the targets?
There's no specific rule.
There're so many targets.
How did you collect
all those detailed information?
No specific method.
We just do everything we can.
Hey, we're supposed
to have fun!
You came to the wrong room.
What're you looking at?
I'm sorry.
They are here.
The targets never know
someone is following them.
- The reporters are all there?
- Yes, sir.
Wait until the backup comes.
Yes, sir.
We should wait
for the backup.
You said the Balam bombing
was fabricated.
I saw the names of suspects
on documents a month ago.
But we don't even know
who the suspects are.
I mean I can guess
under the circumstances.
Have a drink.
- Here.
- Thanks.
You're not playing tricks on me,
are you?
I'll bring the money.
Don't go anywhere.
Don't start without me.
I'll make it quick.
Are you familiar with
these names?
JEONG Seok-young,
KIM Sang-sik, PARK Jeong -gil.
Never heard of them.
What the?
Who the hell are they?
Then who's the suspect
you saw on the document?
I can't remember.
It's been a long time.
Are you playing
a joke on me?
You said
it was only a month ago!
It doesn't make sense.
You aren't a deserter,
are you?
Don't even think about
lying to me.
What was the number?
1818?
He wrote it down on?
2848!
What the?
2848?
We're fucked!
What is this?
Hyeok, come here.
- Come here, you bastard!
- Run!
Stop!
Go up, hurry!
Upstairs!
Get in!
- What are we gonna do?
- I don't know!
- Do something!
- Who are those people?
Block the window.
- Go!
- What?
You have to protect
your informant, go!
Meet me at the bar.
Go, hurry!
Oh, my god.
No, you're gonna fall!
- Hyeok!
- No!
What am I gonna do?
You can open it?
Nice to meet you, guys.
I'm a reporter SON Jin-gi.
Hey, calm down.
Who are you?
- Shut up.
- Calm down.
Ok, I'll shut up.
I got it.
We were just scared.
Shut up.
Don't move.
Ok, I got it.
I just want to know
Who you are.
I'm SON Jin-gi.
Are you a gang?
I'm a reporter!
MAENG, stop the car.
Get off, man!
Son of a...
You can threaten us
but we won't stop.
There's a tunnel.
Get closer to the fence.
You shouldn't interfere
with us.
What should we do?
Release the small fry.
I would rather not.
Closer to the fence!
Seoul 2, GA 4237.
Sit down.
Hey.
Why do you
keep lying to me?
You believed me
because I said I was from the ASC.
So you told
that barefaced lie?
Ok, then.
Where did the documents
come from?
That lighter
I gave to you.
Those men, the disks
all came from the same place.
Where is it?
I don't know
for now.
It's been a game room,
a bookstore, and a restaurant.
Are you kidding me?
Is this funny to you?
Do you think
all reporters are fool?
I honestly
don't know!
Yes, I did lie to you
but this time, I'm honest.
If you don't trust me
I have no one to turn to.
Who's PARK Jeong-gil?
Tell me!
He's on the document
you had in your pocket.
?
Tell me who he is!
?
Why not say anything?
You're one of them,
aren't you?
Alright.
Now, I don't trust you.
What's all this?
SON, what happened?
Where's all the documents?
What's up with your face?
Say something!
LEE!
What the hell happened?
This is a bug.
They tapped us.
Shit.
Let's just end it here.
We don't have the documents.
You do as you like.
We will carry on.
What are you saying?
Rule number one.
'Always make a copy'
I already made a copy.
Hey, you got me.
This is the plate number.
Are you in or out?
What? Not identified?
Gosh, who the hell are
these guys?
Alright, call me
when the suspect wakes up.
Money? What money?
Give back
my 100,000 won!
Saejin Gas Station!
Give me a light.
I don't smoke.
Sorry.
Are you always so polite?
Not helpful
when digging a scoop.
Being polite has nothing
to do with getting a scoop.
An informant is my secret.
You have one?
Of course.
Impressive!
I only know his number,
never met before.
Then what does he say
about the Balam case?
He told me names.
What names?
I've said it before.
JEONG Seok-young.
KIM Sang-sik, and
PARK Jeong-gil.
PARK Jeong-gil.
What's this?
It's an inspection report.
It's not a government document.
'On the government blacklist'
Why?
They don't write 'government'
on a government paper.
So?
I heard there's a power
behind the government.
Cut the crap.
Please, give me a break!
SEO Eun-sook, fiance.
Here, have a drink.
I'm a friend of Jeong-gil
and he is a detective.
I heard PARK went missing
for some time now.
We've been investigating
similar cases.
PARK recently met someone.
Do you know him?
YOON Hyeok.
Where did you get this?
I have an informant, too.
Let's exchange our information.
One call costs 10,000.
10,000 for a call?
Then it'd be so easy
to get a scoop.
Why did you come to Seoul?
My kid is sick.
They have good doctors
in Seoul.
Wanna see her picture?
My daughter, Hee-min.
She's really pretty,
not like you.
She looks healthy.
It's cancer, children tumor.
Is that true?
I'm sorry to hear that.
She just has to deal with it.
SON!
Let's be a buddy.
Huh?
I mean we're the same age.
You look much older but...
Oh my, these Seoulites are
so fast in everything.
I like that.
I like you, man.
They're here.
Let's change the lane.
Be careful.
Don't worry.
Don't forget the signal.
You're really good at this.
It's nothing.
So you do this often
in Seoul?
It's the first time.
Lane change.
You saw the headlines?
Really effective.
'The Balam bomb terror.'
Very good.
What's the point of
the explosion, anyway?
Making the right mood.
We have a big one coming.
We need a small one
before striking the big one.
One strike is not enough
these days.
The Attorney General
should do well.
I heard he's a bit slow.
This government officials
are not so charming.
We have to rearrange
the member of National Assembly.
Let's support the opposition party
in the next election.
- I agree.
- You're right.
Have you read the document?
We have no objection as always.
Let's see what master says.
I guess we could
make it public, right?
Who would care?
The country would be in chaos.
We should announce it.
The public need
a shocking incident.
Have a drink.
Mr. JANG. Are the reporters
from my daily?
Mr, KIM...
See you later.
Stay here.
A bookstore, a game room.
And now it's a bar?
What do you mean?
Hyeok told me.
So that's where
the reports came from.
Could be.
Let's wait and see.
It's a busy street.
Hey, what are you doing
in the middle of the night?
Sit down!
I'm really glad you came.
The best photographer
in our daily.
And this is SON.
Happy to work with you.
Work with me?
You have to sneak in.
You want a candid shot?
Follow me.
Let's go.
It's that bar,
'Moby Dick'.
Shooting criminals is
not my thing.
I'm not going in.
This is a page-one scoop,
right?
Right. We want to go
but they know our face.
I don't wanna go alone.
They have a unique dung smell.
It's fetid and little bit sour.
Sea otters know right away
when human gets closer.
I gotta go to the toilet.
Yeah, go. My story will help
you do number two.
I hate waiting.
Let me ask you something.
You said about the secret power.
Why does it exist?
Because there are people
who want to rule the world forever.
- Forever?
- Yes.
I said
always close the door.
What's wrong with her?
Are you sure?
Yeah, those machines are
in there for a reason.
Would it be difficult for LIM
to sneak in and take a picture?
Hey, how about we use this?
You saying we record
what they say?
No wonder
you were scouted.
We'll do the same
they did to us.
- Great, here.
- Yeah.
Take it.
God.
Didn't you hear me?
Lots of junkies here.
Yeah, I get a story and
you get a promotion.
2a. M? Alright.
See you later, bye.
Yes, sir.
I got it.
Hey, the boxes are here.
Can we have more beer?
Oh, I have one...
- He's here.
- Who?
The one who just got off.
LIM!
Frequent lecturing on
current social issues.
Read slowly, you twit.
He gave lectures in churches
to the poor and blind.
Excuse me.
The reporter from the bar!
You know me, right?
Let me go!
What the fuck!
Let me go!
Where's the toilet?
Just stay where you are.
Help me, please!
Get up!
Don't move!
- Are you ok?
- Hurry, it's down there.
Go down the hall!
Freeze!
What is it?
Wait a minute!
- You are suspended.
- Why?
I let you make a team,
gave you a room
and you harass
innocent people?
- You're off the case.
- I'm sorry.
You shouldn't be.
They nearly killed him!
- You have evidence?
- Yes, we saw them.
The machines in there
are only used in labs.
The suspect woke up.
And You, SEONG. There was
no room that you saw.
Go.
You were drunk.
- SON, Where are you going!
- It was part of investigation.
You need a search warrant
and...
Be quiet!
Calm down.
Come later.
We're not open yet.
You come once every 4 years.
Are you the World Cup?
What's this?
You paying me back now?
I should've paid back earlier.
I'm sorry.
Gotta go.
Hey.
Have lunch here.
How many cups of soup
did you eat?
No more soup for you.
Time to go, kids.
Such a nuisance.
Eating so much soup for free.
What happened to your eye?
None of your business.
I know you didn't come
just to give me the money.
Yeah, that's right.
Can I crush in your place
for a few days?
Cause you cleared your debt?
I have no friend to ask
but you.
A friend?
I'm not your friend.
Stop!
We lost him.
Myeong-seon's injured.
Fucking bastard.
I called as soon as
he got here.
Give me some soup.
My hand!
- Detective KIM?
- Yes?
What's this?
A bribe.
You're right.
This is wrong.
Go in.
He just woke up.
- Thank you.
- Go upstairs.
Hello.
I'm a reporter SON Jin-gi
from Myoung-in Daily.
Detective!
The patient died!
Are you interrogating them?
Boss ordered me to
release them.
What?
So you released them?
- What can I do?
- My god!
- Hello?
- Bang-u
- The suspect is dead.
- What?
I saw the killer.
I'm going to the police.
Who's behind all this?
Why are they
killing people?
There's a conspiracy.
I can feel it.
What the hell!
You shouldn't bump car
having a fender bender.
You suddenly stopped the car.
I didn't have time
to slow down.
Hey, you didn't even
try to slow down!
Why would I do
such a thing?
Alright. Wait here.
Huh? No driver.
This is my number.
I'll call the insurance
so call me later.
Would you pull out, please?
I have to go somewhere.
Are reporters rude
like you?
Excuse me?
How would I know if you're
just trying to run away?
Hey!
My god!
Who the hell is it?
Hello, Hello?
You must be Hee-min.
I'm your dad's friend.
Glad to meet you.
I'm more than glad
to meet you.
You father went to Heaven,
a much better place.
He's dead.
I saw him in the hospital.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Jin-gi.
Suicide?
A patient who just woke up
wouldn't commit a suicide.
We figure it
as a murder case...
Mr. LEE
Just read this.
Don't take questions.
But people wouldn't
believe it.
His suicide note.
I'm the Attorney General
LEE Jae-poong.
The police found out that
the Balam bombing
was done by North Korean
terrorists.
JEONG Seok-young,
KIM Sang-sik had died.
The leader PARK Jeong-gil left
a suicide note and killed himself.
Therefore, we couldn't
find out...
We got PARK Jeong-gil.
I'm not saying
I want a raise in salary.
When they caught a mouse,
I sat there and...
You stink, man.
Change your coat, dickhead.
- What do you do with your wages?
- I invest in funds.
I send money to my parents.
Go home.
It was a car accident.
There's nothing you can do.
Yes, it was just an accident.
So you go home and rest.
Following around is
not my job.
- LEE Bang-u!
- Just leave me alone!
I really don't want to think
you're also one of them.
- Not once.
- You mean never?
I just did what I was told...
It's in the box.
Let's look for it.
It's dawn already.
Hurry up.
Let's start.
- Are you ready?
- Yes, start with HWANG.
Let's start.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Let's start.
Are you ready?
- Hello?
- Hyo-guan,
Get here right now.
- You should get some rest.
- Just get here, right now!
Hello?
Hyo-guan?
If it's not an emergency...
Here we go again.
Hyo-guan, don't hang up.
Listen to me,
you bastards!
I don't know
what you want but...
you think you can
rule the world?
I'll find out the truth
and reveal it to the world!
You messed with the wrong guy.
You hear me?
Let's start.
Tap ta-da dap.
Are you ready?
Listen again.
- It's dawn already.
- Hurry up. Let's start.
Tap ta-da dap.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Same letters in the middle.
That's right!
Can you do this?
There are 36 numbers and alphabets.
If you multiply it by 3...
About 40,000.
I can do it.
F, I, I, one to nine.
Then G...
- No?
- No.
- Now try GFF1.
- Thanks.
GJJ...
Hyeok, you haven't had
your lunch, right?
No, I was about to go out.
Let's have lunch together.
I packed yours.
Happy birthday.
Why didn't you say anything?
Thank you.
I wouldn't call this
a present but...
I want to hire you
as a full-timer.
Pardon me?
You'd prefer a bigger store.
No, I'm not.
I like you, Hyeok.
No match, next one.
Next one, please.
Bang-u!
What's the matter?
Found it.
You unlocked it?
JEONG SEOK-YOUNG
KIM SANG-SIK
PARK JEONG-GIL
PARK Jeong-gil?
Put them on.
The interrogation is over.
Be good, guys.
Go!
No!
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
Get off!
Get off, now!
No!
Dream Park wasn't the target.
Then what's the purpose?
What's this?
This guy was found dead
3 years ago.
- This guy...
- Give me a break.
Where's SON's notes?
DIRECTOR
What if the director comes?
He never comes to work
in the morning.
The most interesting thing
about the Balam case was
the quick reaction of
the police and the government.
This relates to what I've been
investigating for a long time.
The secret power behind
the government.
I do not know the identity
and purpose of the group but
whenever the government faced
a politically sensitive issue,
the public witnessed incidents
that may affect the decision.
I hope the Balam incident
uncover the veil
of the secret power.
One call costs 10,000 won.
Excuse me, can I make a quick call
on your phone?
4590812.
Hello?
I'm LEE Bang-u
from Myeong-in Daily.
Please don't hang up.
I have an idea.
If what I've said is true,
you don't do anything.
If I'm wrong, you hang up.
Is there a secret power
behind the government?
Did they bomb
the Balam Bridge?
Did they kill SON Jin-gi?
What's the next plan?
What's the purpose?
What the hell do they want?
Why are they killing people?
Listen, you bastards!
You think you can stop me
by threatening?
Kill me just like
you killed Jin-gi.
There're millions of
reporters out there!
Kill me! If I die,
the world will...
Mr. LEE, you know
the water vapor, right?
Water vapors make clouds
and it makes the rain and snow.
What you know is only
the rain and the snow.
The important thing is
the water vapor.
You think you can show
the water vapor to the world?
That freak!
Help me!
What do we do?
He'll go to YOON Hyeok.
He doesn't seem to know
where YOON Hyeok is.
What happened to your face?
It hurts.
Here, this is the document
on the Balam case.
This is the police report.
1047, 1047.
Same number.
The plate number of
the car with the bomb.
I found another paper
with the similar numbers.
But it has nothing on it.
803. This is not
a plate number.
11002011.
Nov. 20th 11 o'clock.
1047 is the plate number.
Then this is 08202911.
Nov. 29th 08:20
Fuck.
It's tomorrow.
Million people will die
when a nuclear bomb explodes, right?
Yes, that's right.
The North is making a nuclear.
You think nuclear is
a military weapon?
Nuclear is economy.
The winner takes it all.
It'd be better
if I make it before them.
I want to ask one thing.
Why do you have to kill people?
Isn't that a terror?
You said killing one is a murder
but killing hundred is politics.
Yes, if you kill hundred to
save million, that's an art.
Will this bring me a nuclear?
Ok, be an artist.
I heard you lost all your disks.
What's this?
How did you know
we lost the disks?
The board meeting.
Why?
I've never said it to anyone.
One of the board members
is one of them.
Ok, you could be
right about that.
But that doesn't mean
I have to believe your story.
The bombing was
a prelude and
real terror happens
tomorrow?
I know it's a bit hard
to believe.
Don't run away with the idea
and just write the facts.
You're a journalist.
Focus on the inspection reports.
PARK Jeong-gil was there.
How did they make a suspect
even before the crime happened?
Find out that.
It might have the suspects
of that terror tomorrow.
The inspection report.
PARK Jeong-gil was
on that report.
So the next suspect is
on it, too.
Let's check
their schedule tomorrow.
Hello, is JOO Kyeong-seong
there?
I wonder if he can come
to the town meeting tomorrow.
KIM Dong-young?
This is the National
Intelligence Service.
Don't play a joke!
Did he just hang up?
Hello, PARK In-jae?
This is alumni association.
We elect a manager for meeting.
Are you free tomorrow?
What are you up to tomorrow?
Jeju Island?
Hello,
is HAN Min-ho there?
Can you come
to the town meeting tomorrow?
Business trip.
Went abroad?
In the hospital?
Passed away?
I'm sorry.
I'M HEARING-IMPAIRED.
PLEASE CALL LEE BANG-U, 2634597.
Is it Myeongin?
I'd like to speak to LEE Bang-u.
He's not here.
Please leave him a message.
Master approved.
Continue the process.
THE 5th FEATURE
DONGSEOUNG CINEMA
It's from work.
What is it?
A woman called?
The 5th feature?
What are you talking about?
I'm busy. Gotta go.
The 5th feature?
The 5th feature.
Six o'clock?
Here!
Fire! Fire!
Go to the front!
Out there!
Hey, Hyeok!
Hyeok!
There's a fire in
Dongseong Cinema, hurry!
Dongseong Cinema.
Who are you?
He's not a spy.
PARK Jeong-gil's not a spy.
I killed him.
I'm so sorry.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
He wanted to give
this to you.
Hyeok!
SEO Eun-sook...
Let's go.
We found LEE Bang-u!
Let me go!
See the cameras?
You bastards will be on page one.
Hyeok!
Here, get in!
Let me go!
Pull out.
See the cameras?
Let's go.
Hey, stop!
Let's go!
I have to hide
for the rest of my life, right?
Getting caught, I'll be killed
like PARK Jeong-gil.
No, you should not hide.
You have to confess to people
what you have done.
Then people would forgive
and help you.
Thank you.
I wouldn't be here
if it wasrt you.
Shut up.
Like you,
I'll fight to the end.
How have you been?
- What happened to your face?
- This is what I do.
I told you.
He's your kind.
A jackass?
Nice to meet you.
- Do you go to church?
- No, I don't.
The priest was once
my informant.
I think he will do well.
He needs courage.
08202911803.
God, what does it mean?
Some of those people
were going to Jeju Island.
Yeah, I noticed.
Interesting, it's not even
the high season yet.
I went there this summer.
It was chaos.
I got stuck in the airport
because of the hurricane.
Boss nagged me
for not coming back.
But the flight won't...
What the heck?
The flight number!
Flight number is 803 and
departure time is 8:20.
Let's inform the police.
What are you doing?
It's no use.
You know there's nothing
they can do.
Then what?
Just sit here?
Hundreds of people will die.
Don't you know?
We are journalists.
I can't believe
there's nothing we can do.
No, there's one thing
we can do.
BY THE LATE SON JIN-GI &
LEE BANG- U
I didn't put your name.
You two did all the work.
I'm cool with it.
That's not what I mean.
You shouldn't get fired.
Oh, and there's
rule number two.
Have a great partner
like you. Good job.
There's no forecast in a newspaper
other than the weather.
Put a false report for a terror
that's not even certain?
Then the truth never unveils.
Saving people is more important.
Now, the false report is the truth.
No, I can't approve
a false report.
I didn't come here
for your approval.
I wanted to show you
a real scoop.
A scoop for who?
A reporter only observes.
He doesn't solve the case.
When personal opinion comes first,
you're not a reporter anymore.
Save the life of an ordinary man,
rather than end the life of ten liars.
Boss told me when I was
a cub reporter.
Honestly, I don't know
who's behind the terror.
But I really want to save
that ordinary man.
PARK!
Stop the rotary press!
FLIGHT NO. 803 HEADING TO
JEJU ON 08:20 IS TO EXPLODE
Who approved this report!
Are you out of your mind?
Get out!
I don't want to see you!
You're such a pain.
Hopeless woman!
It's not true.
I'm really sorry.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
We don't know
anything about it.
The Truth about
the Balam Explosion
My name is YOON Hyeok.
As I said,
the article is not true.
The engineers are
checking the plane.
So please wait
for just a few minute.
I worked at PARK's store
for 3 months.
And watched his every action.
He had a fiance
he really loved.
He was an ordinary man
just like you.
All this area is now
a special region.
There are innocent victims
who lost their lives...
Huh, that guy...
I beg for their forgiveness.
I know that guy.
Never thought
he'd be on TV.
Excuse me, sir.
Am I the only passenger?
Yes, sir. Others cancelled
because of the false report.
Oh, really?
It's good
they believed it.
Sorry?
Nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have landed in Jeju Airport.
Please remain seated
until we park at the gate.
The weather is cloudy
with a little chance of rain.
The temperature is 11 degree cel
and the humidity is 70%.
Thank you for choosing us
and have a nice day.
Hello?
of his existence
and had knowingly given
battle to him
was small indeed.
- Herman Melville's
Entrance to Dream Park
MOBY DICK
North Korea has agreed to allow
an IAEA inspection
on all seven of its declared
nuclear facilities.
Wake up.
Hey, eat your lunch.
Your lunch!
Thanks.
What's up with them?
What happened to
that report you promised?
'Redevelopment saves us! '
Shut up and eat.
We have to start a war
with them.
And plow up Pyeongyang
to build new buildings.
A nuclear bomb?
We can make that.
Ignorance is your
biggest charm, you know.
You can't make it without
reprocessing facilities.
The smokestacks,
you pathetic idiot.
Then make that first.
Don't call me an idiot!
The inspection would be
successfully carried out.
Hey, this soup is really
delicious.
BREAKING NEWS:
EXPLOSION AT THE BALAM BRIDGE
They hope it would
deter Pyeongyang to?
Give me some money
for the cab.
And now you're rubbing me?
I think I have a scoop.
Is there a new city
about to redevelop?
That's what you say to
get some money from me.
You twit.
Tell me.
See you tomorrow.
What the?
A small fry ran away
with some internal data.
Where would he go?
A news company at best.
Who is it?
This morning,
there was a mysterious explosion
in the Balam Bridge
on the outskirts of Seoul.
The police and troops set up
an investigation headquarters.
This is crazy!
I'm on the site.
What's the problem
if there is a survivor?
It'll be closed any minute.
Just work with the media.
We got the suspect,
so why not announce it?
Being the Attorney General
is not so easy.
You do what you're told to.
Wait.
We can't say anything
about the case yet.
We're investigating
so come later, people.
Hey!
Are you the head
of the team?
Who the?
Two dead and one injured.
In a vegetative state, dammit!
The arms and legs were all...
- Identity?
- No known.
- The motive?
- Dunno.
The government says
it's a spy from the North.
You shouldn't write that.
Okay!
A car bomb.
A spy from the North.
Don't write it!
Alright.
Here.
Hey, it'd be nicer
if you'd put it in an envelope.
How long can you hold it?
Until the night at most.
Until then,
nobody knows it but me.
Alright.
Don't tell anyone.
I know!
Thanks.
Hello.
Here.
YOON Hyeok?
Damn, it's been so long!
How have you been?
What?
You're in the army?
Becoming a real man.
So what is it that
you want to tell me?
Come on.
Hey, coffee for me.
Just a moment.
Yeah, a North Korean spy.
Write it under that subject.
Tell boss
I'll dig into
the Balam case.
Thanks.
The guy who sat here,
do you know where he is?
He left.
What the?
You look happy,
you got a 'dokudie'?
Hey, that's Japanese.
'Scoop' is the word.
Hey!
Hello.
You two don't know
each other?
He's a newcomer,
SON Jin-gi.
- LEE Bang-u, right?
- That's right.
I'm SON Jin-gi.
Nice to meet you.
Glad to meet you.
Remember that election fraud?
He got the 'scoop prize' for it
and got scouted by our boss.
Oh, impressive.
Thank you.
Scout?
It's not a baseball.
Hyo-guan!
Enjoying the chores?
Hey, these are
the only copy.
Rule number one.
Make copies of all documents.
You have a long way
to go, Gal.
You told boss, right?
Hey, boss!
Sorry.
I guess you heard
from Hyo-guan.
A scoop in a long time.
It's the Balam explosion.
Cut the crap.
Already got the report
hours ago.
Two dead, one injured.
It's early to suspect
a North Korean spy.
Bullshit.
SON Jin-gi?
Focus on your case.
When will I get
the list of female speculators?
Detective MA,
you fucking bastard.
God, what's with the rain?
Bang-u.
For the mother of god!
What the?
You crazy little shit!
Sorry for what...
Shut up.
I'm freaking tired.
Go away?
I deserted.
You are hopeless.
Hey, deserter.
You're the man.
I want to desert
from the company.
You'll go back tomorrow.
You hear me?
Yes.
Here's to you!
How did you
get the scar on your thigh?
Huh, my thigh?
The scar?
It's a great story.
Where is it?
I was a star.
Look at this.
A citation.
An exclusive scar.
You know the JEONG
corruption scandal?
There were 20 apple boxes.
So it was 4 billion, right?
What the?
You came to kill me.
What? I don't know
who the hell that is.
You said you'll come alone.
My leg!
Holy shit!
I'm so sorry.
I'm fine.
Don't come closer.
I'll forgive you
if you answer my question.
Is JEONG behind it?
I'll tell you everything.
PARK!
Stop the rotary press!
PARK, you hear me?
Stop the rotary press!
Oh, god.
What's all this?
The Balam explosion.
Is it a symbolic action?
No civilian dead and
there's no announcement.
The patient's not identified
and doctors say nothing.
Just a second.
JEONG Seok-young.
KIM Sang-sik.
PARK Jeong-gil.
How's the patient?
Still in a coma.
The initial target of explosion is
turned out to be the Dream Park.
- Hello, detective.
- Hey, what's up?
You get reports on deserters?
Sure.
Is YOON Hyeok on the list?
- YOON Hyeok?
- Yes.
YOON Hyeok?
- See his name?
- He's not on the list.
- He's not?
- No.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, are you
on something finally?
What's all this?
Where are you going?
The NISI to find out
about the bomb.
Oh, hey.
You majored in engineering.
Yeah, why?
Are you good with these?
It's locked,
can't decode.
I'm off to NISI.
No, sit down.
- Bang-u, line no.3!
- Give it a try.
Hey!
Engineering majors
should unlock a disk.
It takes ages.
Do it for me.
Thanks.
Line no. 3?
Hello?
Hey, where are you going?
Thanks for the money.
Hey!
It's LEE Bang-u.
It's me.
Who, Hyeok?
Where are you?
You got the bag?
Yeah, where are you?
Dongseong Cinema.
What?
Follow me.
I'll play with you.
Think again, ma'am.
Not an easy game.
You could lose big.
- MAENG.
- What's up?
- Info on the new town.
- Alright.
If you keep playing poker,
I'll tell your wife about it.
Bye.
Don't tell her.
You're not on the list.
Who are you?
Where did that bag
come from?
- The Army Security Command.
- What?
You are in the ASC?
You're fucked, man.
Take the bag tomorrow
and you're going back.
They're gonna kill me.
Nonsense!
They are not gonna kill you.
You know
the Balam incident.
Yeah.
What if it's fabricated?
You even know
what it means?
Are you sure about that?
I'm not sure yet.
Ok, so the disks have
the info on Balam.
Yes.
You stay here
for a while.
If he gets in trouble,
no info on new town. Got it?
Yeah.
If there's any problem,
page this number.
2848 meaning
'You're fucked'.
Alright, '2848'.
He got straight flush,
ma'am.
- He's lying.
- I'll stop here.
- It's LEE Bang-u.
- It's me.
Who, Hyeok?
Where are you?
- You got the bag?
- Yeah, where are you?
- Dongseong Cinema.
- What?
So this informant of yours,
can we trust him?
He's my hometown friend.
Don't worry about him.
- Can I come in?
- Yes, you got something?
I have to investigate further.
But the bridge was restricted.
If Dream Park was the target,
why use...
What's this?
So I'll make up a team
on the Balam case.
Make what?
I'm telling you.
This is a page-one scoop.
Then work with SON, here.
He's already on the case.
Good to work with you.
- Here.
- Thanks.
I can't believe it.
You have to agree on something.
What is it?
- Firstly!
- Yes.
My name comes before yours
on the report.
No problem.
It's ok having your name only.
Secondly?
Yeah, secondly?
- You good with computer?
- No.
I knew it.
Is it required?
She's hot!
Hello, sir.
- Do we have a room?
- Sure.
A room?
Lucky bastard!
Here, multi-outlet strip.
Happy to work with you.
You said that before.
Take a look at this.
These are interesting.
This man went missing
and found dead in the sea.
He went missing in Germany,
allegedly killed by the KGB.
Cut the crap.
May I pass through?
Oh, I'm sorry.
My god.
THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT
Hey, we're supposed
to have fun!
You came to the wrong room.
What're you looking at?
I'm sorry.
This is no place to work
with those drunk twits.
The head editor of politics
helped us borrow this room.
Computer is ready.
Alright.
Good.
Try every 4 digits.
That's only about 10,000.
What about the alphabets?
That's over 1,600,000.
Just try it.
We could get the password.
Maybe,
after a year?
What other choice
have we got?
What's in here, anyway?
Info on the Balam incident!
Maybe on other incidents too
if we're lucky.
How about we focus on
our case, Mr. KGB.
Please don't say that.
Go ahead.
Start with 0001.
Dongseong Cinema
PR office.
Hello?
Who is it?
- You liked it?
- Yes, so delicious.
Let's go.
He had lunch and
is headed to a bookstore.
It's freezing to death.
Let's go.
Oh, my god.
My apples!
- Please! Let's go.
- But I just bought them.
Why did you put it there?
- I had to open the door.
- Give me a break.
Let's go.
What did you do in the ASC?
I typed the documents.
Not an easy job.
Did you make
those documents?
No, I didn't
So you don't know
the password.
I guess you've done some observation
and phone-tapping.
Yes, for an inspection.
You mean civilian inspection?
Some of the targets
are dead, now.
For what reason
did you select the targets?
There's no specific rule.
There're so many targets.
How did you collect
all those detailed information?
No specific method.
We just do everything we can.
Hey, we're supposed
to have fun!
You came to the wrong room.
What're you looking at?
I'm sorry.
They are here.
The targets never know
someone is following them.
- The reporters are all there?
- Yes, sir.
Wait until the backup comes.
Yes, sir.
We should wait
for the backup.
You said the Balam bombing
was fabricated.
I saw the names of suspects
on documents a month ago.
But we don't even know
who the suspects are.
I mean I can guess
under the circumstances.
Have a drink.
- Here.
- Thanks.
You're not playing tricks on me,
are you?
I'll bring the money.
Don't go anywhere.
Don't start without me.
I'll make it quick.
Are you familiar with
these names?
JEONG Seok-young,
KIM Sang-sik, PARK Jeong -gil.
Never heard of them.
What the?
Who the hell are they?
Then who's the suspect
you saw on the document?
I can't remember.
It's been a long time.
Are you playing
a joke on me?
You said
it was only a month ago!
It doesn't make sense.
You aren't a deserter,
are you?
Don't even think about
lying to me.
What was the number?
1818?
He wrote it down on?
2848!
What the?
2848?
We're fucked!
What is this?
Hyeok, come here.
- Come here, you bastard!
- Run!
Stop!
Go up, hurry!
Upstairs!
Get in!
- What are we gonna do?
- I don't know!
- Do something!
- Who are those people?
Block the window.
- Go!
- What?
You have to protect
your informant, go!
Meet me at the bar.
Go, hurry!
Oh, my god.
No, you're gonna fall!
- Hyeok!
- No!
What am I gonna do?
You can open it?
Nice to meet you, guys.
I'm a reporter SON Jin-gi.
Hey, calm down.
Who are you?
- Shut up.
- Calm down.
Ok, I'll shut up.
I got it.
We were just scared.
Shut up.
Don't move.
Ok, I got it.
I just want to know
Who you are.
I'm SON Jin-gi.
Are you a gang?
I'm a reporter!
MAENG, stop the car.
Get off, man!
Son of a...
You can threaten us
but we won't stop.
There's a tunnel.
Get closer to the fence.
You shouldn't interfere
with us.
What should we do?
Release the small fry.
I would rather not.
Closer to the fence!
Seoul 2, GA 4237.
Sit down.
Hey.
Why do you
keep lying to me?
You believed me
because I said I was from the ASC.
So you told
that barefaced lie?
Ok, then.
Where did the documents
come from?
That lighter
I gave to you.
Those men, the disks
all came from the same place.
Where is it?
I don't know
for now.
It's been a game room,
a bookstore, and a restaurant.
Are you kidding me?
Is this funny to you?
Do you think
all reporters are fool?
I honestly
don't know!
Yes, I did lie to you
but this time, I'm honest.
If you don't trust me
I have no one to turn to.
Who's PARK Jeong-gil?
Tell me!
He's on the document
you had in your pocket.
?
Tell me who he is!
?
Why not say anything?
You're one of them,
aren't you?
Alright.
Now, I don't trust you.
What's all this?
SON, what happened?
Where's all the documents?
What's up with your face?
Say something!
LEE!
What the hell happened?
This is a bug.
They tapped us.
Shit.
Let's just end it here.
We don't have the documents.
You do as you like.
We will carry on.
What are you saying?
Rule number one.
'Always make a copy'
I already made a copy.
Hey, you got me.
This is the plate number.
Are you in or out?
What? Not identified?
Gosh, who the hell are
these guys?
Alright, call me
when the suspect wakes up.
Money? What money?
Give back
my 100,000 won!
Saejin Gas Station!
Give me a light.
I don't smoke.
Sorry.
Are you always so polite?
Not helpful
when digging a scoop.
Being polite has nothing
to do with getting a scoop.
An informant is my secret.
You have one?
Of course.
Impressive!
I only know his number,
never met before.
Then what does he say
about the Balam case?
He told me names.
What names?
I've said it before.
JEONG Seok-young.
KIM Sang-sik, and
PARK Jeong-gil.
PARK Jeong-gil.
What's this?
It's an inspection report.
It's not a government document.
'On the government blacklist'
Why?
They don't write 'government'
on a government paper.
So?
I heard there's a power
behind the government.
Cut the crap.
Please, give me a break!
SEO Eun-sook, fiance.
Here, have a drink.
I'm a friend of Jeong-gil
and he is a detective.
I heard PARK went missing
for some time now.
We've been investigating
similar cases.
PARK recently met someone.
Do you know him?
YOON Hyeok.
Where did you get this?
I have an informant, too.
Let's exchange our information.
One call costs 10,000.
10,000 for a call?
Then it'd be so easy
to get a scoop.
Why did you come to Seoul?
My kid is sick.
They have good doctors
in Seoul.
Wanna see her picture?
My daughter, Hee-min.
She's really pretty,
not like you.
She looks healthy.
It's cancer, children tumor.
Is that true?
I'm sorry to hear that.
She just has to deal with it.
SON!
Let's be a buddy.
Huh?
I mean we're the same age.
You look much older but...
Oh my, these Seoulites are
so fast in everything.
I like that.
I like you, man.
They're here.
Let's change the lane.
Be careful.
Don't worry.
Don't forget the signal.
You're really good at this.
It's nothing.
So you do this often
in Seoul?
It's the first time.
Lane change.
You saw the headlines?
Really effective.
'The Balam bomb terror.'
Very good.
What's the point of
the explosion, anyway?
Making the right mood.
We have a big one coming.
We need a small one
before striking the big one.
One strike is not enough
these days.
The Attorney General
should do well.
I heard he's a bit slow.
This government officials
are not so charming.
We have to rearrange
the member of National Assembly.
Let's support the opposition party
in the next election.
- I agree.
- You're right.
Have you read the document?
We have no objection as always.
Let's see what master says.
I guess we could
make it public, right?
Who would care?
The country would be in chaos.
We should announce it.
The public need
a shocking incident.
Have a drink.
Mr. JANG. Are the reporters
from my daily?
Mr, KIM...
See you later.
Stay here.
A bookstore, a game room.
And now it's a bar?
What do you mean?
Hyeok told me.
So that's where
the reports came from.
Could be.
Let's wait and see.
It's a busy street.
Hey, what are you doing
in the middle of the night?
Sit down!
I'm really glad you came.
The best photographer
in our daily.
And this is SON.
Happy to work with you.
Work with me?
You have to sneak in.
You want a candid shot?
Follow me.
Let's go.
It's that bar,
'Moby Dick'.
Shooting criminals is
not my thing.
I'm not going in.
This is a page-one scoop,
right?
Right. We want to go
but they know our face.
I don't wanna go alone.
They have a unique dung smell.
It's fetid and little bit sour.
Sea otters know right away
when human gets closer.
I gotta go to the toilet.
Yeah, go. My story will help
you do number two.
I hate waiting.
Let me ask you something.
You said about the secret power.
Why does it exist?
Because there are people
who want to rule the world forever.
- Forever?
- Yes.
I said
always close the door.
What's wrong with her?
Are you sure?
Yeah, those machines are
in there for a reason.
Would it be difficult for LIM
to sneak in and take a picture?
Hey, how about we use this?
You saying we record
what they say?
No wonder
you were scouted.
We'll do the same
they did to us.
- Great, here.
- Yeah.
Take it.
God.
Didn't you hear me?
Lots of junkies here.
Yeah, I get a story and
you get a promotion.
2a. M? Alright.
See you later, bye.
Yes, sir.
I got it.
Hey, the boxes are here.
Can we have more beer?
Oh, I have one...
- He's here.
- Who?
The one who just got off.
LIM!
Frequent lecturing on
current social issues.
Read slowly, you twit.
He gave lectures in churches
to the poor and blind.
Excuse me.
The reporter from the bar!
You know me, right?
Let me go!
What the fuck!
Let me go!
Where's the toilet?
Just stay where you are.
Help me, please!
Get up!
Don't move!
- Are you ok?
- Hurry, it's down there.
Go down the hall!
Freeze!
What is it?
Wait a minute!
- You are suspended.
- Why?
I let you make a team,
gave you a room
and you harass
innocent people?
- You're off the case.
- I'm sorry.
You shouldn't be.
They nearly killed him!
- You have evidence?
- Yes, we saw them.
The machines in there
are only used in labs.
The suspect woke up.
And You, SEONG. There was
no room that you saw.
Go.
You were drunk.
- SON, Where are you going!
- It was part of investigation.
You need a search warrant
and...
Be quiet!
Calm down.
Come later.
We're not open yet.
You come once every 4 years.
Are you the World Cup?
What's this?
You paying me back now?
I should've paid back earlier.
I'm sorry.
Gotta go.
Hey.
Have lunch here.
How many cups of soup
did you eat?
No more soup for you.
Time to go, kids.
Such a nuisance.
Eating so much soup for free.
What happened to your eye?
None of your business.
I know you didn't come
just to give me the money.
Yeah, that's right.
Can I crush in your place
for a few days?
Cause you cleared your debt?
I have no friend to ask
but you.
A friend?
I'm not your friend.
Stop!
We lost him.
Myeong-seon's injured.
Fucking bastard.
I called as soon as
he got here.
Give me some soup.
My hand!
- Detective KIM?
- Yes?
What's this?
A bribe.
You're right.
This is wrong.
Go in.
He just woke up.
- Thank you.
- Go upstairs.
Hello.
I'm a reporter SON Jin-gi
from Myoung-in Daily.
Detective!
The patient died!
Are you interrogating them?
Boss ordered me to
release them.
What?
So you released them?
- What can I do?
- My god!
- Hello?
- Bang-u
- The suspect is dead.
- What?
I saw the killer.
I'm going to the police.
Who's behind all this?
Why are they
killing people?
There's a conspiracy.
I can feel it.
What the hell!
You shouldn't bump car
having a fender bender.
You suddenly stopped the car.
I didn't have time
to slow down.
Hey, you didn't even
try to slow down!
Why would I do
such a thing?
Alright. Wait here.
Huh? No driver.
This is my number.
I'll call the insurance
so call me later.
Would you pull out, please?
I have to go somewhere.
Are reporters rude
like you?
Excuse me?
How would I know if you're
just trying to run away?
Hey!
My god!
Who the hell is it?
Hello, Hello?
You must be Hee-min.
I'm your dad's friend.
Glad to meet you.
I'm more than glad
to meet you.
You father went to Heaven,
a much better place.
He's dead.
I saw him in the hospital.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Jin-gi.
Suicide?
A patient who just woke up
wouldn't commit a suicide.
We figure it
as a murder case...
Mr. LEE
Just read this.
Don't take questions.
But people wouldn't
believe it.
His suicide note.
I'm the Attorney General
LEE Jae-poong.
The police found out that
the Balam bombing
was done by North Korean
terrorists.
JEONG Seok-young,
KIM Sang-sik had died.
The leader PARK Jeong-gil left
a suicide note and killed himself.
Therefore, we couldn't
find out...
We got PARK Jeong-gil.
I'm not saying
I want a raise in salary.
When they caught a mouse,
I sat there and...
You stink, man.
Change your coat, dickhead.
- What do you do with your wages?
- I invest in funds.
I send money to my parents.
Go home.
It was a car accident.
There's nothing you can do.
Yes, it was just an accident.
So you go home and rest.
Following around is
not my job.
- LEE Bang-u!
- Just leave me alone!
I really don't want to think
you're also one of them.
- Not once.
- You mean never?
I just did what I was told...
It's in the box.
Let's look for it.
It's dawn already.
Hurry up.
Let's start.
- Are you ready?
- Yes, start with HWANG.
Let's start.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Let's start.
Are you ready?
- Hello?
- Hyo-guan,
Get here right now.
- You should get some rest.
- Just get here, right now!
Hello?
Hyo-guan?
If it's not an emergency...
Here we go again.
Hyo-guan, don't hang up.
Listen to me,
you bastards!
I don't know
what you want but...
you think you can
rule the world?
I'll find out the truth
and reveal it to the world!
You messed with the wrong guy.
You hear me?
Let's start.
Tap ta-da dap.
Are you ready?
Listen again.
- It's dawn already.
- Hurry up. Let's start.
Tap ta-da dap.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Same letters in the middle.
That's right!
Can you do this?
There are 36 numbers and alphabets.
If you multiply it by 3...
About 40,000.
I can do it.
F, I, I, one to nine.
Then G...
- No?
- No.
- Now try GFF1.
- Thanks.
GJJ...
Hyeok, you haven't had
your lunch, right?
No, I was about to go out.
Let's have lunch together.
I packed yours.
Happy birthday.
Why didn't you say anything?
Thank you.
I wouldn't call this
a present but...
I want to hire you
as a full-timer.
Pardon me?
You'd prefer a bigger store.
No, I'm not.
I like you, Hyeok.
No match, next one.
Next one, please.
Bang-u!
What's the matter?
Found it.
You unlocked it?
JEONG SEOK-YOUNG
KIM SANG-SIK
PARK JEONG-GIL
PARK Jeong-gil?
Put them on.
The interrogation is over.
Be good, guys.
Go!
No!
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
Get off!
Get off, now!
No!
Dream Park wasn't the target.
Then what's the purpose?
What's this?
This guy was found dead
3 years ago.
- This guy...
- Give me a break.
Where's SON's notes?
DIRECTOR
What if the director comes?
He never comes to work
in the morning.
The most interesting thing
about the Balam case was
the quick reaction of
the police and the government.
This relates to what I've been
investigating for a long time.
The secret power behind
the government.
I do not know the identity
and purpose of the group but
whenever the government faced
a politically sensitive issue,
the public witnessed incidents
that may affect the decision.
I hope the Balam incident
uncover the veil
of the secret power.
One call costs 10,000 won.
Excuse me, can I make a quick call
on your phone?
4590812.
Hello?
I'm LEE Bang-u
from Myeong-in Daily.
Please don't hang up.
I have an idea.
If what I've said is true,
you don't do anything.
If I'm wrong, you hang up.
Is there a secret power
behind the government?
Did they bomb
the Balam Bridge?
Did they kill SON Jin-gi?
What's the next plan?
What's the purpose?
What the hell do they want?
Why are they killing people?
Listen, you bastards!
You think you can stop me
by threatening?
Kill me just like
you killed Jin-gi.
There're millions of
reporters out there!
Kill me! If I die,
the world will...
Mr. LEE, you know
the water vapor, right?
Water vapors make clouds
and it makes the rain and snow.
What you know is only
the rain and the snow.
The important thing is
the water vapor.
You think you can show
the water vapor to the world?
That freak!
Help me!
What do we do?
He'll go to YOON Hyeok.
He doesn't seem to know
where YOON Hyeok is.
What happened to your face?
It hurts.
Here, this is the document
on the Balam case.
This is the police report.
1047, 1047.
Same number.
The plate number of
the car with the bomb.
I found another paper
with the similar numbers.
But it has nothing on it.
803. This is not
a plate number.
11002011.
Nov. 20th 11 o'clock.
1047 is the plate number.
Then this is 08202911.
Nov. 29th 08:20
Fuck.
It's tomorrow.
Million people will die
when a nuclear bomb explodes, right?
Yes, that's right.
The North is making a nuclear.
You think nuclear is
a military weapon?
Nuclear is economy.
The winner takes it all.
It'd be better
if I make it before them.
I want to ask one thing.
Why do you have to kill people?
Isn't that a terror?
You said killing one is a murder
but killing hundred is politics.
Yes, if you kill hundred to
save million, that's an art.
Will this bring me a nuclear?
Ok, be an artist.
I heard you lost all your disks.
What's this?
How did you know
we lost the disks?
The board meeting.
Why?
I've never said it to anyone.
One of the board members
is one of them.
Ok, you could be
right about that.
But that doesn't mean
I have to believe your story.
The bombing was
a prelude and
real terror happens
tomorrow?
I know it's a bit hard
to believe.
Don't run away with the idea
and just write the facts.
You're a journalist.
Focus on the inspection reports.
PARK Jeong-gil was there.
How did they make a suspect
even before the crime happened?
Find out that.
It might have the suspects
of that terror tomorrow.
The inspection report.
PARK Jeong-gil was
on that report.
So the next suspect is
on it, too.
Let's check
their schedule tomorrow.
Hello, is JOO Kyeong-seong
there?
I wonder if he can come
to the town meeting tomorrow.
KIM Dong-young?
This is the National
Intelligence Service.
Don't play a joke!
Did he just hang up?
Hello, PARK In-jae?
This is alumni association.
We elect a manager for meeting.
Are you free tomorrow?
What are you up to tomorrow?
Jeju Island?
Hello,
is HAN Min-ho there?
Can you come
to the town meeting tomorrow?
Business trip.
Went abroad?
In the hospital?
Passed away?
I'm sorry.
I'M HEARING-IMPAIRED.
PLEASE CALL LEE BANG-U, 2634597.
Is it Myeongin?
I'd like to speak to LEE Bang-u.
He's not here.
Please leave him a message.
Master approved.
Continue the process.
THE 5th FEATURE
DONGSEOUNG CINEMA
It's from work.
What is it?
A woman called?
The 5th feature?
What are you talking about?
I'm busy. Gotta go.
The 5th feature?
The 5th feature.
Six o'clock?
Here!
Fire! Fire!
Go to the front!
Out there!
Hey, Hyeok!
Hyeok!
There's a fire in
Dongseong Cinema, hurry!
Dongseong Cinema.
Who are you?
He's not a spy.
PARK Jeong-gil's not a spy.
I killed him.
I'm so sorry.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
He wanted to give
this to you.
Hyeok!
SEO Eun-sook...
Let's go.
We found LEE Bang-u!
Let me go!
See the cameras?
You bastards will be on page one.
Hyeok!
Here, get in!
Let me go!
Pull out.
See the cameras?
Let's go.
Hey, stop!
Let's go!
I have to hide
for the rest of my life, right?
Getting caught, I'll be killed
like PARK Jeong-gil.
No, you should not hide.
You have to confess to people
what you have done.
Then people would forgive
and help you.
Thank you.
I wouldn't be here
if it wasrt you.
Shut up.
Like you,
I'll fight to the end.
How have you been?
- What happened to your face?
- This is what I do.
I told you.
He's your kind.
A jackass?
Nice to meet you.
- Do you go to church?
- No, I don't.
The priest was once
my informant.
I think he will do well.
He needs courage.
08202911803.
God, what does it mean?
Some of those people
were going to Jeju Island.
Yeah, I noticed.
Interesting, it's not even
the high season yet.
I went there this summer.
It was chaos.
I got stuck in the airport
because of the hurricane.
Boss nagged me
for not coming back.
But the flight won't...
What the heck?
The flight number!
Flight number is 803 and
departure time is 8:20.
Let's inform the police.
What are you doing?
It's no use.
You know there's nothing
they can do.
Then what?
Just sit here?
Hundreds of people will die.
Don't you know?
We are journalists.
I can't believe
there's nothing we can do.
No, there's one thing
we can do.
BY THE LATE SON JIN-GI &
LEE BANG- U
I didn't put your name.
You two did all the work.
I'm cool with it.
That's not what I mean.
You shouldn't get fired.
Oh, and there's
rule number two.
Have a great partner
like you. Good job.
There's no forecast in a newspaper
other than the weather.
Put a false report for a terror
that's not even certain?
Then the truth never unveils.
Saving people is more important.
Now, the false report is the truth.
No, I can't approve
a false report.
I didn't come here
for your approval.
I wanted to show you
a real scoop.
A scoop for who?
A reporter only observes.
He doesn't solve the case.
When personal opinion comes first,
you're not a reporter anymore.
Save the life of an ordinary man,
rather than end the life of ten liars.
Boss told me when I was
a cub reporter.
Honestly, I don't know
who's behind the terror.
But I really want to save
that ordinary man.
PARK!
Stop the rotary press!
FLIGHT NO. 803 HEADING TO
JEJU ON 08:20 IS TO EXPLODE
Who approved this report!
Are you out of your mind?
Get out!
I don't want to see you!
You're such a pain.
Hopeless woman!
It's not true.
I'm really sorry.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
We don't know
anything about it.
The Truth about
the Balam Explosion
My name is YOON Hyeok.
As I said,
the article is not true.
The engineers are
checking the plane.
So please wait
for just a few minute.
I worked at PARK's store
for 3 months.
And watched his every action.
He had a fiance
he really loved.
He was an ordinary man
just like you.
All this area is now
a special region.
There are innocent victims
who lost their lives...
Huh, that guy...
I beg for their forgiveness.
I know that guy.
Never thought
he'd be on TV.
Excuse me, sir.
Am I the only passenger?
Yes, sir. Others cancelled
because of the false report.
Oh, really?
It's good
they believed it.
Sorry?
Nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have landed in Jeju Airport.
Please remain seated
until we park at the gate.
The weather is cloudy
with a little chance of rain.
The temperature is 11 degree cel
and the humidity is 70%.
Thank you for choosing us
and have a nice day.
Hello?
