The Exclusive: Beat the Devil's Tattoo (특종: 량첸살인기)

Wait.

What is it?

It feels like someone’s watching.

Who?

There.

There’s no one there.

No, I think someone’s inside.

No, we’re alone here.

Do we have company?

I told you I felt something.

That perverted bastard!

What are you doing?

He should let people know he’s here.

Mister.

Come out.

Were you peeping on us?

Are you a pervert? Is that it?

What, did it start?

-Is it starting? -Far from it.

Asshole, I just fell asleep.

-When’s it starting? -Watch your foot!

It’s been hours!

Don’t touch me!

It’s crowded in here!

You’re taking up all the space in here.

Shut it!

-Then come here and lie down. -Let’s switch places.

Switch, damn it.

Come on, man!

Stop it! Stay put!

What the hell? It’s starting!

-Open the back! -I thought it wasn’t for a while.

What are they doing?

They’re all reporters?

Chief Oh! Chief!

Is this related to the recent serial killings?

Quiet down please!

Shut up!

At 3:10 a.m. this morning--

We can’t hear you! What?

We received reports of--

BEAT THE DEVIL’S TATTOO

...were found brutally stabbed to death.

According to a witness, a large man stabbed the couple

and quickly fled in a red vehicle.

TWO BODIES FOUND IN PARK

- The police stated that-- -Look! He stepped all over me.

Choi’s a Hulk. He crushed me once.

I got a bloody bruise.

He was a weakling, but he’s so big now.

They regularly have eel at company dinners.

Shouldn’t we do that too?

We don’t even get barbecued pork.

It’s nothing but noodle cups for us.

City desk, Heo Moo-hyuk.

- Can I leave a tip? -Yes.

What’s going on there?

The murder case that was on the news--

You’ll take responsibility?

- Hello? Hello? -Yes, the murder case.

- I think I know him. -Is that so?

- Yes. -Your name and address.

It’s 143 Gusu, Mapo District.

I see.

It’s for real.

One moment.

What’s wrong?

The owner of DM Industries was directly involved--

Guess who the owner is.

-The owner? -Yeah.

Park something.

You can’t remember the man you investigated for corruption?

DM’s owner is...

Buyang Group’s owner’s son-in-law’s uncle.

Buyang’s up in arms, threatening to pull all their ads!

I didn’t know! Pull the article. I’ll write a retraction.

You think a retraction will fix this shit storm?

How can I do my job when I gotta account for a sponsor’s relatives?

We gotta show that we’re taking action.

SABBATICAL REQUEST

So stay low for a while.

-We’ll bring you back. -Bring me-- I’m getting the ax?

Sign it. The suits upstairs made the decision.

-Damn. -Moo-hyuk! Where are you going?

The sponsor must--

I’ll go see Buyang and make peace.

-I’ll fix this... -Boy!

You’re way out of your league!

-Sorry, sir! -Moo-hyuk!

-Let’s talk outside. -What did I do wrong?

Who okayed this story, huh?

I wasn’t the only one who went after DM.

Look at it.

Let me go! It wasn’t like that.

Leave!

Get him out of here!

How is it? Doesn’t it look great on the wall?

Can we delay the opening? I think it’s for the best.

Why?

Seeing them on the wall, they don’t look right.

They’ll trash me so badly.

Not too many artists are confident about their work.

They’re all pretending.

No. This is not right.

How about we get dinner later?

I’m buying, okay?

I’m buying.

That tuna restaurant has a special on tuna head.

How about that? I’ve never had that.

I heard a big fish head is nice.

-But I-- -Wait.

Morning sickness six months into your pregnancy?

I was so worried that I couldn’t even shit.

It’s probably because it’s my first.

Why don’t you ask your husband to get you something nice?

Don’t suffer alone.

I don’t want anything from him. One signature and it’s over.

Then why did you get pregnant?

Get back together. All men are the same.

Who cares?

Moo-hyuk?

Wake up.

What are you doing here?

Are you drunk?

I told you to give me the code. I couldn’t get inside.

I thought I was going to freeze to death.

Who’s he?

Hello there.

I’m an artist.

I’m having a solo show at Su-jin’s gallery.

Do artists visit the curator’s home nowadays?

No, you got it all wrong. I’m not a pervert.

It’s dangerous at night.

You’re driving a pregnant woman around and even visiting her at home.

If something happens to the baby, will you take responsibility?

Su-jin-- I mean, Ms. Jung.

I’ll see you at my studio. I mean, the gallery.

-Good night. -Wait! Wait!

Drive home safe!

Even dogs are artists nowadays?

Honey, wait.

-Let go! -Hold up. Please.

I had a bad day. Please take me in tonight.

How can you ask that!

Where were you when I needed you the most?

I want nothing from you, so don’t expect anything from me.

Just sign the divorce papers!

And the baby?

We have to raise the child properly!

-You can’t do it alone. -I don’t need you!

Wait.

Honey, please!

Hey, it’s been a while. It’s Moo-hyuk.

Yeah, CNBS.

Didn’t you say you needed an experienced reporter?

Oh, you got someone...

Any openings in your Political News department?

Hey! Not doing much now?

Okay, do your thing. I’ll call another time.

Moron.

I saw your classified ad.

It’s a male host bar? Thank you.

Where does it go? Down south?

Is the listed salary correct?

Is there an opening for an experienced reporter?

Public access stations or even affiliates.

Out in the country maybe.

Hurry up!

Do you know anybody at other stations? Even in a smaller city?

Start a business. Sell some shit!

-Reporting doesn’t suit you. Open a shop. -I don’t know shit about that.

So why mess with a major sponsor?

You’re on the blacklist. Everyone knows about you.

Who even dares to mess with sponsors nowadays?

You should be begging to kiss their ass.

I didn’t become a reporter to kiss anyone’s ass.

Then am I doing this to kiss ass?

It’s all about survival.

I lost. It’s your fault! Buy me a drink.

MURDER CASE TIP - MAPO 143

It’s 143 Gusu, Mapo District.

CHANGJEON - SECOND ALLEY

CHUNG-IL VILLA

Who are you?

I’m here about--

-Do you live here? -Why do you ask?

Did you see any suspicious persons here?

Did you see anything?

I forgot my business card.

I’m here on a tip.

It’s about the serial killer who’s killed seven people.

A red car like that was seen fleeing the crime scene.

Are you drunk?

Yes, a little.

Don’t get drunk and cause a scene.

Go away! Before I call the cops!

Just a minute.

He’s my friend.

I know this man.

-Your friend? -Yes. I told him to come over.
