Man to Man (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 14 - Episode #1.14 - full transcript

Jang Tae-ho and Lee Dong-hyun discuss Song Mi-eun and her past: She decided to marry Mo Seung-jae, not for his wealth but for her own survival.

I am Ghost Agent K.

A shadow without a name or reputation.

I gave them the tapes.

The traitor knows your weakness. Y.

Find the missing tapes
of Congressman Baek.

-Agent Y?
-Agent Y?

The traitor knows your weakness.

But you know,
Mi-eun went to Annam Cathedral

every Monday as well.

So, the answer is in the 58th floor.

It must be somewhere there.



What are you doing here?

Episode 14

I'm searching for the missing tapes
of Chairman Baek as Agent Y instructed.

Pardon?

Wasn't it your orders,

Ms. Mi-eun Song?

No.

Fellow Ghost agent.

You came sooner than I expected.

You got me in as a bodyguard
because Mr. Jang asked.

I had a request to make too.

I hired the bodyguard as you asked.

So you know I'm a Ghost agent.

You know about the people around me



better than anyone else.

You know about the missing tapes
on Congressman Baek.

The traitor knows your weakness. Y.

Also, I'm whom you need.

When I found out

that you went to Annam Cathedral
every Monday, I became certain.

Agent Y.

The late Robert Yoon

was your handler, wasn't he?

The one who scouted you to be an agent.

He was a good man.

He was my supporter
ever since I was young.

That's more interesting than being asked
to drink with rich boys

or to become someone's mistress.

You'll have to give up
ever having a normal family life.

You can ignore this entire conversation.

I became an actress because it's a job
where the more I lie the more I'm loved.

But your offer sounds more fun.

What do I have to do?

You need to extract information

from Songsan Group's heir, Seung-jae Mo.

You can refuse it.

I'll do it.

I'll do it well.

I'll seduce him for sure.

Why did you call me out?

Have you not found that answer yet?

I knew your text was a lie.

How?

What I must find is not just
the tapes on Congressman Baek.

If it were about getting rid of him,

you could've done it easily yourself.

What disappeared with those tapes

is information
on first-generation Ghost agents.

It's what Mr. Yoon was searching for
until the bitter end.

-Do you want to take revenge for Agent Y?
-It isn't just that.

If we can't uncover the truth
about those people,

me and those around me,

and you and those around you,
cannot be safe.

You don't know
who betrayed Agent Y either.

Do you?

We must find the missing tapes.

Mr. Jang's Plan B won't cut it.

First, let's get what we need
from each other.

You need to look into something.

Say it.

Something the late Chairman Byung-do Mo
left only to Seung-jae Mo.

I don't know what that is,

but the clue regarding
where the missing tapes are

will be there.

Why did you keep me in the dark
about Mi-eun?

The rule is to maintain confidentiality

about other agents not directly related
to the mission at hand.

You and your rules.

But then again, that's how you are.

So?

Was Mi-eun's past target Seung-jae Mo?

He was.

But after she fell in love with Un-gwang
whom she met through her acting career,

problems arose.

His accident that happened
on set seven years ago.

Seung-jae Mo was behind that.

She had a choice.

This happened because you dated
while working undercover.

If you can't do it, you should quit.

If she quits now...

I will resign from the NIS

and marry Seung-jae.

Is it safe to work on a mission with her?

She left the service,
so we have to be cautious,

but if she came forth herself,
she should be helpful.

Anyway, I'm sorry that I pulled out
and left you hanging.

Don't think your apology will excuse you.
You're not my colleague anymore.

I know, you punk.

You rejected a promotion and became
an unemployed middle-aged man.

What will you do now?

I don't know.

I guess I'll go hiking.

Call me once in a while
and buy me a drink.

See you later, my friend.

Mi-eun Song
Former Miss Korea

I kind of get Mi-eun's story,

but why was she silent
while we gathered the wood carvings?

She was watching.

When we were up to the third one,
she pulled Mr. Jang in.

She's a frightening one.

She resigned from the NIS,

but she continued on with her plan.

She's a realist

who uses her beauty and charm as a weapon
for protection and defense.

She was an orphan
and survival is her top priority.

An Amazonian of the jungle.

An Amazonian?

Do you mean a female warrior?

But she chose to forfeit than battle.

The keyword to her choice
is survival in the jungle.

After Un-gwang's accident,

her instincts told her
she had to choose Seung-jae Mo,

so that she could survive

and protect everyone else.

She married Seung-jae Mo

not for money, but for survival.

There must have been something
she had to protect.

It's something most precious to her.

I heard you'll be the chairperson
of the scholarship foundation.

You said it was too fake

for a conglomerate family member
to do that.

It affects Jae-young, so...

Isn't it a donation to society?

They say they need it
to ensure successorship later on.

Isn't that

the group's confidential information
or something?

You tell me too much.

You're the only friend I can open up to.

I need to meet someone else here tomorrow.

It's not Mr. Jang.

You'll help me, right?

Here you go.

-Please go ahead.
-Thank you.

Okay.

Cheers.

Do you make deliveries too?

Come on, now.

This is a secret,

but I'm serving the country.

-Excuse me?
-There's a prosecutor named Dong-hyun Lee.

I'm working with him on a project
for the country.

Dong-hyun?

Do you know him?

I know him well.

He says I'm like a big brother to him,
although he looks older.

-Should I give him a call and...
-No.

You can't tell him about me.

This is a secret project.

What? Hey. Those wood carvings.

Aren't those the wood carving triplets?

Yes. Do you know them?

I ran an art business too, remember?

Wait, if those are real...

-Each one would go for about $3,000,000.
-Yes.

Why are there only two?

If all three of them are together,
the price doubles

to more than $10,000,000.

Really?

Rather than the $5,000,000,
you want the third wood carving?

That's right.

What good is money, really?

I should bring the Buddha brothers
together and live modestly.

The third wood carving may take some time.

That's fine. I can wait.

I've cultivated my character a lot lately,
so I can wait that much.

Okay.

But do you know about Do-ha's dad?

Is he working on something with Dong-hyun?

No, he isn't.

Right? I thought so.

He was acting strange
as he mentioned Dong-hyun.

You should look into it.

-Okay.
-Good.

Goodness.

Seriously? That's huge.

Him too?

-Is this fun?
-Totally.

But how much is that, anyway?

Since that's the old 10,000 won bill,
it would be 100 million won per briefcase.

There are two briefcases,
so it's 200 million won.

I guess 200 million won

is enough to make a man of integrity

bow down to it.

So, is this really your new assignment?

Watching the videos and seeing
how much they receive?

There are so many tapes,

that they want me to review them
since I have a lot of free time.

It's perfect for a lovers tactic, right?

Whatever.

Found it.

What?

The secret space within the secret room
that was captured in this video.

-It's been a while, Dong-hyun.
-Hello, sir.

So, did your wife stop nagging you
since you left the NIS?

She grumbles about the low salary,

but she says she feels at peace.

You must have heard about Tae-ho.

Is K still working on the mission?

Yes.

He's getting close to finding a lead.

We think the missing tapes are
about the first-generation Ghost agents.

Really?

From now on, report directly to me
about the mission.

Is there no replacement for Mr. Jang?

It's a very sensitive matter
involving the NIS agents.

I'm nervous about bringing in someone new
while the mission is in progress.

I see.

That's true.

That's right.

If you study Byung-do Mo's movements,

you'll notice a pattern being repeated.

What is it?

His gaze whenever he turns off the camera.

People instinctively look toward
the recording device

when turning it off.

You're right. He does.

There is nothing on the wall
where he's looking

so the secret room must be behind it.

It doesn't even show in the video.

How do you know
there's nothing there on that wall?

You sound like you've been there.

The truth is,

I snuck in before.

I climbed the building wall barehanded,

but around the 42nd floor,

the wind became too strong, and...

You climbed the building barehanded?

I saw it in a picture.

A picture.

Do you like scaring me and teasing me?

You made my heart stop completely,

and you're saying it was a joke?

Sorry.

Got you.

I got you. I totally got you.

Are you mad?

You started it.

I'm not mad.

How can we bicker over
life-and-death situations?

It won't happen.

Don't do anything
that will make me worried, okay?

I won't.

I have no excuse.

I'm sorry.

What was your code name

when you were on the field?

I was Ghost Agent I.

That's right. Ghost Agent I.

You eat it. I have diabetes.

Yes, madam.

This isn't why we created
the Ghost project.

Byung-do Mo was very obedient.

Why is his grandson such a prick?

Did you find the missing tapes?

Actually,

I have not...

You have to find them.

This is bad.

If you would give me another chance...

If we help you, you'll get back
the money that went to the foundation,

and you will teach
Byung-do Mo's grandson a lesson.

Are you sure about that?

I'll take care of it for sure.

Do you still have things to say to me?

I came to relay a message
from the people behind me.

Chairman Mo's one trillion won slush fund

technically doesn't belong to Songsan.

It belongs to them.

So?

Make me the chairperson of the foundation

rather than your wife.

Then I'll talk to them for you
and take care of it.

Those old fogies
that my grandfather used to talk about...

Goodness, they lived a long life.

Now that I've retired,

they need someone new. Someone smart.

I'll do it myself.

My debut will be the election
to fill the void you left behind.

However, I don't need your help.

You really shouldn't underestimate
the people behind me.

The banquet for the old fogies is over.

I won't make any more dirty deals.

Fine.

Then the final negotiations have failed.

I understand what you mean.

I'll relay the message.

Chairman Mo always looked
at one o'clock before turning off

the camera.

That's just a wall.

There's probably a secret room
behind the wall with video equipment.

Okay. I'll look into it.

I have a question.

Is Seung-jae Mo still included
in this mission?

There is no evidence on my husband
in the tapes we're searching for.

The slush fund was managed
through Songsan.

Without taking Songsan down,

we can't completely take down
the dark powers that you spoke of.

I'm the chairperson of the foundation
created with a portion of that slush fund.

I won't let them run it as they please.

Even if I enter into politics,
you're my most important companion.

Leave the slush fund to someone
you trust and stay out of it.

Someone I trust.

That's always the problem.

Grandpa said he couldn't trust anyone
and did it himself.

-How?
-How?

Like this.

The most important thing about money
is how you spend it.

It's crucial to leave clear records
of whom you gave it to.

Those records

become the remote control
that moves power.

When he built the secret room
while building the Songsan building,

he had this made too.
He told only me about it.

If he told only you,
why are you showing me...

Because this room is yours from now on.

You know Dong-hyun Lee too?

He gets around.

It may get dangerous
following Congressman Baek.

You know that too?

Fine.

I'll stop then.

-You'll keep doing it, won't you?
-I said I will stop.

Keep doing it.

What?

Dong-hyun says he will use you
as a crime investigator.

Did he?

But you must report to him

and receive instructions
every time you move.

Okay. Of course, I should follow
the prosecutor's instructions.

This is a secret between us.
Do-ha must not find out.

Of course.

Okay, let's eat.

What is it? Is something wrong?

Something urgent came up.

I need to go.

Excuse me.

He should've at least taken a bite.

ANNAM CATHEDRAL

Hey.

Seol-woo.

What are you doing here?

I came to pray.

What about you?

ANNAM CATHEDRAL

Did you...

Did you come to me because of this?

In case something happened?

I guess Father Michael left.

He disappeared while he still could.

Your bag is pretty.

It's ordinary-looking and pretty, right?

Because it isn't a spy bag.

I didn't like the idea of couples
tracking each other

and stuff like that.

It will be over soon.

Did you have a lot to pray about?

I saw Seol-woo too.

I knew it.

Was it a late-night date
in a holy cathedral?

We meet because we're worried,

and we're worried even if we do meet.

Can you call that a date?

What were you worried about?

I'm worried that he would get hurt,
or that he would disappear.

Your faith is lacking.

I want to believe him.

If you say you want to believe him,
that means you don't.

What kind of love is that?
You should just love.

I know.

It isn't a simple kind of love for us.

Use Myung-suk Cha as a CI?

-He would do it even if I try to stop him.
-Goodness.

Still, using a civilian to tail
Congressman Baek is...

He can handle that much.

Plus, it's better to manage him
than let him run loose.

There's a dragon symbol
on the stock of the rifle.

It's Byung-do Mo's profile.

He doesn't trust anyone and likes riddles.

He's a lonely hunter.

A hunter?

The heads of animals he hunted

as trophies all over the secret room...

The hunting rifle in the video room...

Does Songsan own any land or mountains

where hunting is permitted?

I don't think they have any land
that is suitable for hunting.

I'm sure they do.

Chairman Byung-do Mo's

personal hunting grounds.

They do.

The documents Songsan's director
of finance swiped when he confessed...

REAL ESTATE UNDER BORROWED NAMES

HUNTING PERMITTED IN THE REGION

Where is it?

DO NOT ENTER. THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.
ENTRANCE IS PROHIBITED.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm here from
the Environmental Protection Agency.

Isn't hunting prohibited in this region?

Do you even know whose land this is?

I shouldn't know, right?

I'll take a quick look around and go.

I'm sure there is
nothing wrong legally, right?

You were here just three months ago.

Why are you back?

Did someone come three months ago?

Like I said.

Hold on.

Was it...

this man?

It is. The public official from Seoul.

-Did you come from Seoul?
-Yes, I did.

I'm from the EPA
here to do an examination.

-Here.
-I see, the Environment Protection Agency.

How long will it take
to look through it all?

-It takes five hours to see everything.
-I see.

-Thank you.
-Okay. Go ahead.

Thank you.

He went up into the woods
and looked all over the place

and came down after like three days.

Are you going to hike for three days too?

What's that? That mark on the rifle.

You mean this?

You're asking the same thing he did.

All the rifles nowadays
have designs like this on them.

Does it mean anything?

I just maintain them,

so I don't know that much.

STOCK UNDER BORROWED NAMES

These are stocks received today
under borrowed names.

Are we disclosing all the documents?

Yes. It's Mr. Mo's orders.

Other than the will, all of Songsan's
documents, either formal or informal,

are accessible.

-The will?
-Yes.

As per the founding chairman's
special orders,

only Mr. Mo may view his will.

Is that right?

It isn't in Chairman Byung-do Mo's
secret hunting grounds.

Are you sure?

Agent Y was there already.

He was?

Seeing how he left empty-handed,

this isn't the spot.

There is something else

that Chairman Mo left only to Seung-jae.

What is it?

His will.

For the love of the country,
this is Myung-suk Cha.

These bastards.

I'm a piece of crap
with no power now, is that it?

Is it best just to avoid me entirely?

What the...

This scumbag isn't picking up either.

Congressman...

Goodness.

Congressman.

Why are you pouring that for yourself?

You'll have three years of bad luck
if you pour your own drink.

Allow me.

Here.

Haven't I seen you before?

I see you all the time on television.

I thought my heart was going to explode.

Seung-jae's son is an only child, right?

Yes, sir.

That family sure isn't blessed
with many children.

He's after Seung-jae Mo's son.

This bastard is unbelievable.

We should let Mi-eun know.

She's his mom.

-That's why we can't.
-What?

She may ruin the plan.

What plan?

I'll use this to eliminate
Congressman Baek completely.

What will you do?

We'll entrap him.

Get ready.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Are you kidding me?

What do you mean
you found his phone, but not him?

Have everyone from Songsan Security look.

Find him no matter what! Find him now!

Also, whoever it is that kidnapped him,

you can kill him.

No. Just kill him on sight!

Get the cops, the NIS, the army, everyone,
and find Jae-young now!

Hey, evil men.

Hi, there.

I'm a prosecutor. Dong-hyun Lee.

What?

Jae-young is safe?

Congressman Baek was behind it.

I have the kidnappers as well.

Congressman Baek, why that...

Where is he? Where's Jae-young?

Where's Jae-young? I'll come right now.
Where is he?

He's being kept somewhere safe,
so there's no need to worry.

Now, listen carefully.

What? Dark Death?

Are you hurt, brave child?

Did you save me, Dark Death?

Welcome to Dark Death's
secret headquarters.

Wow. Dark Death, you're amazing.

We can trust him.

Meet him and bring him home.

Jae-young is safe, right?

He said not to trust the security guards,
and to send just his mom.

It's okay.

I can do it.

Did you entrap Congressman Baek?

He may have dug his own grave.

It won't be resolved
just by locking up Congressman Baek.

I'm looking for the missing tapes.

Do you know

anything about this design?

It looks like a dragon.

I've never seen it before.

So, it has nothing to do
with the Baek Infantry.

Giddyap. Giddyap. My horse
is the undefeatable Dark Death!

Wait a second.

There's no Dark Death horse.

Dark Death flies around.

I see. Then fly.

Fly.

Let's play airplane. Airplane!

I'll just be a horse.

-Un-gwang.
-Clip-clop.

Hi. Get off.

What the...

What's going on here?

Who's he?

Hey. Aren't you the kid
from the robot museum...

Who are you?

What's going on?

Well, the thing is...

Don't tell me...

-Did you kidnap him?
-That's not it.

We probably saved him from his kidnappers.

Who are you? Introduce yourself.

The child should stay quiet.

Dark Death, why don't you explain
what's going on?

Well...

The thing is...

-I didn't tell you...
-It was the right call.

If you had told me, we would've lost
our chance to get Congressman Baek.

We may lock him up,

but we still have no leads
regarding the missing tapes.

I got Chairman Byung-do Mo's will.

Check the content yourself.

Jae-young

is with Un-gwang.

He was the only person
you and I could trust.

Is Jae-young safe?

As long as you do as I say,
everything will be fine.

Sign this first.

What's this?

An agreement that you'll make me
the chairperson of the foundation.

Also, a stock transfer agreement

agreeing to give me 51%
of your shares of Songsan.

You're after the entire Songsan...

Songsan's prince surely is worth
that much, is it not?

You talk way too much.

You know what room this is,

and yet you confessed voluntarily.

Have you lost your mind?

Don't you care what happens to your son?

I've always wanted to say this to you.

Get yourself some decent boys.

I got it, so let go. You punks.

Don't you know who I am?

I know very well.

You're a suspect.

You're under arrest
for kidnapping a child.

More charges will be added on.

Let's go.

Dark Death.

Jae-young.

Mom!

Hi.

My dear Jae-young.

You must've been so scared.

Mom.

Dark Death saved me from the villains.

Did he really?

-Brave child.
-Yes, Dark Death.

You remember the promise
you made me, right?

It's a secret that I met you, Dark Death.

Go to your mom.

Thank you.

-Let's go home.
-Okay, Mom.

I have a favor to ask.

Be well.

Good job.

How did you know Congressman Baek
would do something like this?

He wouldn't give up that easily,

so I was keeping an eye on him.

I never promised anything in exchange.

I said I would eliminate Congressman Baek.

A deal must be clear-cut.

Still, I don't plan to end it
with a mere "thank you."

Tell me what you want.

I can give you a subsidiary company.

I merely completed the last deal,
so that isn't necessary.

If you want to give
a token of appreciation,

I'll take the wood carving as payment.

I like your manners too.

Why don't you work for me?

Full time.

Call me if you need me.

As long as the terms are right,

I'll do anything you want.

Let's go.

-Mom.
-Yes?

I want to come back
to Dark Death's secret headquarters.

Just a minute.

It's such a relief that he's safe.

It is all because of your bodyguard.

You know that Seol-woo isn't
just a bodyguard, right?

Well, since you're the one
who recommended him to begin with.

So?

Whose side are you on?

You have a lot on your mind.

Believe only what you see.

If you try to think beyond that,

you'll always end up hitting a brick wall.

I have a favor to ask.

Be well.

Thank you.

I must lie often

and my days are filled
with death and violence.

You are the most dangerous person to me.

To a secret agent, the people he is
surrounded by could serve as a weakness.

A secret agent never clocks out.

An agent can't trust anyone.

I won't be long.

I won't die without your permission.

I'm worried that he would get hurt,
or that he would disappear.

I want to believe him.

It was the best option
for your safety as well as mine.

If you really care for me,

don't do something reckless
like this again.

You just continue performing your duty.

As my girlfriend.

Believe only what you see.

If you try to think beyond that,

you'll always end up hitting a brick wall.

Will and Testament
One with power desiring money will fail,

and one with money
desiring power will die.

Everything, excluding myself,

goes to my grandson Seung-jae Mo.

Byung-do Mo

I don't see any trace of special chemicals

on the paper.

One with power desiring money will fail,

and one with money
desiring power will die.

Everything, excluding myself,

goes to my grandson Seung-jae Mo.

Will and Testament

Byung-do Mo's will.

It's short but precise.

The path is in the Word.

Everything, excluding myself.

The lonely hunter left behind

a riddle in his will.

I've solved it.

You didn't say you were coming.

What a pleasant surprise.

I was at Un-gwang's house.

-I couldn't...
-I'm sure...

It's okay.

You did it for me,

because you knew I would be worried.

Other than the lovers tactic,

you're working
on something else, aren't you?

I guess you have to remove your ring

during a mission...

because I am your weakness.

Thank goodness for today.

Those jerks.

How could they kidnap a child?

Since you are a skilled agent,

the child is safe,
and the evil men will be punished.

So, I will always

cheer you on in all that you do.

I wanted to believe in your promise,

love each other, and be happy together.

But that means you and I

will have to work too hard for each other.

The efforts

needed for me to not let you go.

And your efforts

to protect me...

Do-ha Cha's head-on fight ends here.

We will terminate the lovers tactic.

The tactic is still in progress.

Keep it for one more day.

Will and Testament

Tonight,

every mission will be terminated.

Hello, sir.

He found it.

The clue was in Byung-do Mo's will.

I kept looking at it,

but I didn't see anything.

A seemingly meaningless phrase
in a will with only necessary words.

"Excluding myself."

Everything, excluding myself

"Excluding myself"?

What does that mean?

This is Seung-jae.

If he had removed Byung-do Mo's portrait,

Seung-jae Mo would've inherited
everything Byung-do Mo had.

The portrait?

That old man is horrible.

If he were going to give it to him anyway,
couldn't he do it nicely?

If he had read deeply into the will
that he thought was just another lecture,

he would've solved this riddle.

You're right.

Byung-do Mo made sure
that only his grandson

could access the will.

But then,

how can you open that safe?

I was curious ever since I found the piece
of the key in the first wood carving.

I wonder

why he split the key into three pieces.

VIP LOUNGE

The keys from the wood carvings
are the keys for that?

He's a bad man, but he's quite amusing.

In-soo Baek

I found it.

I found the missing tapes
on Congressman Baek

and the material
on first-generation Ghost agents.

A little mouse snuck in.

Now we can get rid of
all the bad men, right?

It's all on the prosecutor.

By the law. By the rules.
I'll finish them all.

Look into what Byung-do Mo's
dragon design is.

Why?

That's the one riddle the old fogy left
that I can't solve.

Why do you care?

Everything is in here anyway.

I'm curious.

I'm sure it holds some sort of meaning.

Let it go. You're such a pain.

Fine.

-I'll look into it.
-Okay.

-Thank you.
-Where are you going?
