Pinocchio (피노키오)

I heard a body was found at a demolition site.

I'd like to know what happened to it.

Oh, that? Just a moment.

You know, the body found at a demolition site. How did it wrap up?

Oh, I see. Okay.

- They took care of it. - Excuse me?

- Who took care... - A family member came to take care of it.

Family member who?

Can I find out who?

Phone number or current address?

But who are you?

I'm family, too.

It was my older brother who took care of it.

Do you have any document that proves you're related to the body?

Well...

I've been adopted.

So, I don't have any document.

Then...

I can't tell you.

I know family members' names.

I remember my old home address and...

I'm sorry, but unless you can prove you're family with a document,

I can't tell you anything. It's personal information.

That's the rule.

Father...

I wasn't alone.

Now...

I'm truly alone, Father.

I'm the only one who knows...

about your unjust death.

Father...

Please answer me.

Where...

and how...

can I find hyung?

How?

[Congratulations on making it to YGN. Come to the first floor lobby on Monday.]

Let's become reporters together.

In Ha...

I wanted to become a reporter because of In Ha.

To that woman...

I wanted to show her that we're both reporters.

#444, are you a Pinocchio by chance?

Yes.

We failed to keep that resolution.

And...

His bones were found a few days ago.

I have a new resolution now.

Life was hell for you.

Your unfair story...

I want to tell the world.

And one more person who knows about this story,

I'll find him.

[Congratulations on making it to YGN. Come to the first floor lobby on Monday.]

Leading me to become a reporter...

perhaps wasn't In Ha.

Perhaps it was you, Father.

Going to work?

Yeah.

Yes.

In Ha, not for you though. What I meant was going to the office.

You have a part-time job at a convenience store.

Huh?

Yeah.

One of them is a reporter.

The other one is a 27 year old...

part-timer at a convenience store like a college student.

You finally look like uncle and niece this way.

We'll see you later.

I'll go first.

Leaving already?

How about breakfast?

I don't feel like it.

I'm not hungry.

You guys didn't eat dinner either.

What...

Did something happen with you two?

Why are you two so cold and awkward?

Nothing happened.

Being cold is normal. One passed and one failed.

In Ha, become an academic center instructor.

If you say you made a reporter out of a taxi driver in a month,

all the reporters wannabes will come to you with money.

What the heck!

Stop rambling nonsense and go fix the toilet.

It didn't flush all the way. It's disgusting.

Ah, jeez!

See you later.

See you later.

Okay.

Don't worry about what Dad said.

I'm really happy you became a reporter.

I thought I'd be jealous if I failed and you passed, but I'm not.

Strangely, I'm not even envious.

Really!

You're hiccuping.

Well, this...

isn't about that.

Then what?

This is...

This is...

Anyway, I'm fine.

If you're worried about what happened during the debate...

If that's why you're uncomfortable around me, don't worry.

It's a debate. Of course, you should attack others.

I know you couldn't help it.

It wasn't because I couldn't help it.

I believe...

you shouldn't become a reporter.

Sincerely.

What?

What are you saying?

Why can't I become a reporter?

I explained fully during the debate.

While talking to #444,

I now know why a Pinocchio shouldn't

become a reporter.

The danger of someone who ignores her own error and reports.

How scary it is for someone to spew out words without knowing their power.

I know now.

You meant it?

Everything...

...you said?

Your mother is right.

A Pinocchio shouldn't become a reporter.

Don't become a reporter, In Ha.

Hey.

What's wrong with you? You wanted to become reporters together.

Don't become a reporter, In Ha.

Were you lying?

When I picture you as a reporter...

I think of your cruel mother.

I asked if you were lying!

I think of your mother who trapped my poor father.

Hey!

You crazy bastard!

If you become a reporter...

it'll be unbearable to see you.

I'm afraid of that.

Darn it.

$4.80 please.

I forgot to apply my discount.

Do it again please.

Okay.

You keep hiccuping. Plug your nose and bend over 90 degrees.

It'll stop quickly.

It won't stop.

Gosh, just try. It works 100%.

It won't stop. I said it won't stop.

Hey, student...

I'm not a student.

It's been three years since I graduated.

But I'm an unemployed bum.

Don't cry.

They say you even buy hardships in your youth.

I don't have any money for that.

You go ahead and buy hardship.

I failed my reporter entrance exam.

It was my thirty...

...sixth try.

You guys, study hard. If you don't, you'll become like me.

$3.80.

Does it make sense?

My uncle passed it in a month.

I've been preparing for three years.

And I failed.

Please show me your ID.

I'm sorry.

Maybe...

I'll die from hiccuping all my life.

In order to stop my hiccups,

I should confess.

The one I love is...

...Choi Dal Po.

It's him, right?

Your uncle?

You're...

Go on.

I'll hear you out.

All I have is time.

Am I too early?

I don't think so.

What's going on?

- Did you memorize the names? - Of course.

What are you doing?

- Oh, my gosh! - You scared me!

Why so startled? Did you commit a crime?

Why so formal? Don't you know to speak casually to colleagues?

We speak casually.

Hi.

Nice to see you.

Huh?

Nice to see you.

Okay. Should we share our information?

I found gossip on the reporter sunbaes.

Me, too.

Everyone, Jang Hyun Kyu of Han River Line...

Watch out for him.

[Line: For effective reporting, they divide up Seoul into sections. Each section is labeled Line.]

His nickname is Calf because he strikes you at the knee.
