Nothing Uncovered (멱살 한번 잡힙시다)

(All locations, characters, organizations, and incidents...)

He should be here any minute now, right?

That's him. He's here.

Okay.

Sir, you look like you've lost a lot of weight.

I bet you've lost your appetite because of Assemblyperson Ko.

- That jerk. - I just said that...

- He's so thorough. - the meeting was taking too long...

because of the chatty ladies. How exactly does that belittle women?

They have the nerve to mess with the party leader.

So, what do you plan to do with Assemblyperson Ko?

I called you over, Mr. No, to pick your brains.

Send him off in one fell swoop.

Bring it to me on paper.

I'll read it over a meal next week.

(Assemblyperson Ko's son gets easy job via committee connections)

How does it look?

I'd like it to be something prosecutors...

and police can work on together.

You want something more powerful.

Nothing should be done sloppily.

You don't want to do a sloppy job either.

Never.

It's good to be sure.

I'm Seo Jung Won with "Nothing Uncovered."

Assemblyman Mo Hyung Taek.

What were you discussing with No Ji Ho, a KBM reporter?

Barging in like this.

Don't you think it's rude?

I listened to a past recording of you and Mr. No.

You two agreed to meet next week.

Am I right?

You typed up an article already?

Did you and Assemblyman Mo...

decide to get rid of Assemblyperson Ko?

No.

A party representative...

asked a reporter to write a certain article?

I'm giving you a chance to explain yourself.

Do you have nothing to say?

You're saying I incited him to write something just because...

we met in private?

Aren't you trying a bit too hard to frame me?

Isn't this a conspiracy?

You met a week ago to discuss something,

and the reporter brought you a typed-up article.

You're even suggesting what and how to air.

Wouldn't you call this colluding?

You really are feisty and relentless.

I see why Chairman Seol worries about his daughter-in-law.

Too bad.

Once my father-in-law sees this broadcast,

he'll have to worry about a friend too.

(A politician and journalist's dangerous symbiosis)

This ends the report on the long-standing problem...

of the collusion of politics and journalism.

They say politicians and journalists...

must always keep their distance.

They should never be too close, but never too far apart.

A journalist's conscience shows in their article,

and a politician's conscience shows in their actions.

We must not forget that.

Thank you. Good job.

- Good job. - Well done.

- Great work. - Thanks.

- You did well. - Thank you.

Good job.

That came out nice, didn't it?

It was awesome.

- It was incredible. - You were legendary.

- You were on top of the world. - Hello.

This is the nine o'clock news.

Here are the headlines.

Here are the headlines.

Let's fix this here.

Shall we change "in the area of" to "close to?"

Close to Jumyeong Station,

a man in his 20s brandished a weapon at random targets.

You'll sit there one day.

I guarantee that.

You always guarantee everything.

Come to the office.

Chief. No, In Han.

It's not fair.

All I did was egg him on.

You told me to stay close to Assemblyman Mo.

So I'd get something juicy.

You should be glad she blurred your face.

Lie low for a while.

Darn it.

Hey.

How could you stab a colleague in the back?

How could a reporter end up wiping a politician's bottom?

I let you off for being a woman and what now?

I let you off.

Ever since you joined,

your female colleagues have been promoted over you.

Seo Jung Won!

No Ji Ho!

Get lost.

Let's both be honest here.

You knew I was considering changing Nothing Uncovered's host...

after the season, weren't you?

That's why you went after him, isn't it?

I went after Mo Hyung Taek.

It's normal to switch things around after three years.

That goes for our show too.

It's not our show. It's my show.

You said you'd acknowledge Nothing Uncovered was mine...

if we led viewer ratings and trends for a year.

Don't you think...

my show's the reason ratings for our 9 p.m. news went up?

I won't lose what's mine to Ji Ho or to anyone else.

If I must step down, it'll be voluntary.

My goodness.

Will that be when we need a new presenter for the 9 p.m. news?

Are we done?

A journalist's conscience shows in their article,

and a politician's conscience shows in their actions.

We must not forget that.

Father.

Drink this before it gets cold.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry.

I told you...

not to do anything.

Sir.

Change into something else. I'll wash this right away.

Do it tomorrow. Get lost.

Yes, sir.

I'll go home, then.

Ms. Seo had been contacting...

your aide Mr. Na for the past month.

I think that's how it got out.

Mr. Song.

How long do you think Seo Jung Won will be popular?

Get over here!

Hey, you!

Hey!

Get him!

Darn it.

Stop!

Stop chasing me!

Give up!

Hey!

No, don't go that way.

Get back here!

He's forcing me to work out.

Sorry.

Get lost unless you want to see me stab her.

If she dies, you go down for it.

You know that, right?

Miss. Don't worry too much.

I'm a detective.

I'm the team's ace. Don't worry.

Put your hands on your head and stand by the railing.

I'll save you. You trust the police, right?

You're ignoring me?

Do you think I'm joking?

I need you to trust me so I can get him sooner.

Do you trust me?

Tae Heon, convince the criminal,

not the hostage.

- Shoot. - What?

Shoot.

- Are you talking to me? - Shoot above his head.

- Okay. - You don't even have a gun.

You'll die because of him.

Now!

Darn you!

Come along.

I want to sleep. Turn it off.

How can I turn off something so fun?

Then watch it somewhere else.

Hey, Ace, I heard you scored.

I did the shooting, though.

Stop getting on my nerves and just go home and sleep.

- Gosh. - Hello.

- "Nothing Uncovered" begins now. - Why do you have to sound so rude?

- An influential politician... - Too bad I can't curse at you.

- Go ahead and see what I do. - and a reporter...

The politician and the reporter are denying that...

they know each other.

In fact, the back-scratching alliance...

of politicians and the press...

is difficult to prove.

However, "Nothing Uncovered" was able...

- Gosh. She said she'd be... - to expose the alliance...

- the top reporter in three years. - between Assemblyman Mo...

And she kept her word.

- and a certain reporter... - She's so cool.

through this video.

I got the money through the wire transfer.

But why do you not want to use what we found on Mo Hyung Taek?

It was a peripheral hit, not a direct hit.

Look into the stock scammer too.

So no signs of Lee Yi Jin yet, right?

Come on. You know how it goes. What's up with the question?

You know that I get insecure when my episodes air.

Your episode was a hit. You should learn to enjoy the win.

That's how people end up ruining their careers.
