The thing with people is that
they lie even in the diary no one else reads.
-Hey, it's Choi Ji-hoon! -Thank you.
Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon!
Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon!
Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon!
You have a meeting in an hour with the Secretary for Political Affairs.
I'll take you right to the meeting place.
Okay.
Also, here.
Here are the interview questions for tomorrow.
You knew from the start, and you're looking after him even now.
Got it?
We purposefully waited until the bad comments reached its height.
You can cry a little too.
If you can't make yourself cry, it's fine.
He's getting more malicious comments ever since the news about his son,
but the number of supporters grew.
I wish the elections would end soon.
Same. So many people are sacrificing
to get him that title.
Do you think it's really him that got him so popular?
If you look up on the Internet, people only talk about Anna.
Right, you're interviewing Anna tomorrow, right?
-What? -That's right.
I'll finally get to meet her in person.
Hey. Is she always that graceful?
Right. How come you never write about Anna?
Are you stupid?
Because I know her.
Is that so?
How professional you are.
She has such upright work ethics.
You're right.
Should we compliment her?
The Secretary for Political Affairs will be 20 minutes late.
Okay.
You must think I don't know anything
since I feign ignorance.
No, I know you're a good actress.
On our wedding day,
we took a picture with your nephew named Choi Min-jae.
Yes. When I think about it now,
it was definitely strange.
And also,
Im Soo-yeon is nowhere to be found.
Hey.
Ms. Lee Yu-mi, the daughter of Baekma Tailor's mute.
Did you suddenly become curious about the truth?
Im Soo-yeon was a kind person
who sacrificed herself for you for years.
She apparently went to Jeju Island
right after giving birth, and was found dead from falling.
How did that happen?
You must have nothing to fear
now that Lee Hyun-joo is gone.
Does it look like that?
I'm glad you noticed.
Do you know how tiring it was for me because of Hyun-joo?
All you needed was for her to disappear.
And I let that happen for you.
But still, how could you do that to someone?
You even changed your name to live like her.
Why are you complaining?
I see.
Are you saying I'm just complaining?
Didn't you want that woman dead?
You're an accomplice anyway.
Just a minute.
Let's be good, okay?
Come in.
Secretary Lee Chang-yong is here.
Gosh, I'm late.
Sorry. I was suddenly called by the VIP.
That's okay, Sir. We just arrived too.
Really?
Honey, say hello.
Nice to meet you.
Please sit down.
How do you feel with the election around the corner?
CHOI JI-HOON CRIES FOR STRONGER SEOUL PROMISES TO BUILD A HAPPY CITY
CANDIDATE CHOI JI-HOON AND WIFE LEE ANNA POUR THEIR ALL INTO ELECTION CAMPAIGN
The rumor about a ghost writer writing my thesis isn't important to me.
I can handle such a gossip.
But
having a sick child
become a part of this controversy is hard to bear.
My husband and I
will not let such speculations and rumors about the birth mother bother us,
and we won't be taking any legal measures against Hanbit Daily either.
Are we done?
Yes.
Thank you for your time.
-Mr. Choi. -Yes?
It seems like Professor Lee accepted some money.
From whom?
What is this?
"Lee So-hyun, Lee Bo-ram, Han Ji-hye..."
How much is all this?
What we were able to find out seems to add up to 2.7 billion won.
Do you mean there might be more?
Yes.
Get out.
DR. LEE JAE-EOL
Hello, Dr. Lee.
Are you well?
It's nothing much,
but my wife is emotionally unstable these days.
Yes, yes.
It impacts her daily life.
It's election season,
so let's wait until after.
I want her to take a break somewhere quiet.
Getting her admitted would be good too.
BUILDING SEOUL'S FUTURE TOGETHER, LEAVE IT TO CHOI JI-HOON
You didn't know what Professor Lee was up to?
She didn't meet that many people
while I was escorting her.
When she met with Madam Lee So-hyun,
I thought it was a bit strange, but I had no idea.
You should've reported it if you found it strange.
To be honest, I can't do anything
if she goes out without telling me.
Why can't you do anything?
Do you hear yourself?
Are you a civil servant who only does what you're told?
This is why we shouldn't have picked a woman to join our team.
She knows very well
I was ordered by Mr. Choi to watch her.
She would never do things like that out in the open for me to notice.
Darn it. Shut your mouth.
You'll be responsible for this.
Write a written apology
and make a copy of her phone.
Also,
we received two calls today asking if Lee Anna is her real name.
Check them.
HIDDEN LOVE OF LEE ANNA, THE WIFE OF CANDIDATE CHOI JI-HOON
-What's with this comment? -Isn't it crazy?
How compassionate.
People can be so simple.
Do you think that interview was sincere?
You're so inflexible.
It doesn't matter as long as it speaks to people.
Did you find her beautiful in person?
Yes.
I can see why people like her so much.
She smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat.
-Right? -Yes.
Hurry up and join her fan club.
I should.
Mom.
My daughter is in the US.
Can you help me write a letter to her?
I cannot talk,
so I can't call her.
What would you like me to write?
That her mom misses Yu-mi.
IS THIS THE RIGHT THING TO DO? IS THIS SOMETHING I CAN HANDLE?
Ji-won.
It's me, Yu-mi.
Yu-mi.
I'm sorry I came over so early.
This is so awkward.
I don't know where I should start.
Maybe how Lee Yu-mi became Anna?
So you know everything.
I was really confused at first,
but I was able to put things together.
When I thought about it, there wasn't a single thing
I knew about you.
I'm sorry.
Why did you do that?
It's hard to explain.
Not all who had a hard time growing up live like you.
I tried my best,
but it didn't work out.
Is that all?
I envied
Lee Hyun-joo.
Since Lee Anna is someone who is influential to our society,
I decided to tell the world about you.
Before, I was afraid
of being found out.
But not anymore.
I want you to write about me
and let the Prosecution know too.
What is this?
The story
of Lee Anna and Choi Ji-hoon.
Lee Hyun-joo didn't commit suicide.
Ji-hoon's previous wife Im Soo-yeon didn't have an accidental death either.
STATEMENT OF WITNESS: KIM JUNG-HAN
VICTIM, WITNESS
Stock manipulation, embezzlement, and dodging taxes.
There is a list of the bribes Lee Anna accepted too.
You'll be surprised once you open it.
Choi Ji-hoon's son,
and Lee Anna's ghost writer...
I tried to expose them myself,
but I was stopped.
You were the one?
Yes.
I think it would be best to use it just after the election,
but before his post starts when his guards are down.
Why are you giving this to me?
Because
you're the only one who called me by Yu-mi
and worried about me.
This is my apology to you and Hyun-joo.
You'll lose everything. It'll be hard to bear.
I'm
prepared for it now.
I think I got this far
so I could break down like this.
You might get sentenced to serve time.
Don't worry.
I'll survive on my own.
If anything ever happens to me,
could you take care of that patient for me?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I'm trying not to think about it.
They say people become cowardly because they have imagination.
Yes, Ma'am.
You shouldn't get timid in front of your parents either.
You become independent once you stop feeling guilty
about disappointing your parents.
That's what I regret the most.
Now, with my wife who is always beside me and backing me up,
we'll say our goodbyes to you together.
We hope to meet all of you here again.
We love you. Thank you.
Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon!
Candidate Choi Ji-hoon and his wife Lee Anna
visited a nearby voting station this morning
to cast their votes and greeted other voters.
Yes. It was difficult to run the election campaign,
but I have no regrets since I gave it my all.
Thank you for your support...
Hey, Han Ji-won.
Yes?
Come here for a second.
Thank you.
CHOI JI-HOON AND WIFE LEE ANNA VOTE TOGETHER
Is something bothering you?
I feel uneasy.
Pardon?
As of today, you're fired.
What? What do you mean?
You must have known
the work you were doing
would have to come to an end.
To be honest,
I didn't trust you at first.
Thank you for keeping your promise.
I couldn't understand you at first,
but I believe what you're doing is right.
I'll be taken in by the Prosecution tomorrow afternoon.
Then,
you'll be put in an awkward position.
I'll serve you until the very end.
No matter who you are,
you're still my employer.
You're going to regret it.
Although I'm weak,
I want to stay loyal.
"Loyal"?
I've never
been loyal to anyone.
In the Gyeonggi region, Choi Yeon-duk is ahead by a narrow margin.
-Congratulations. -Congratulations.
MOM'S NURSING HOME
Hello?
Patient Yoon Hong-ju is asking for you, Ms. Lee Yu-mi.
I don't think she'll last very long.
Innovative Seoul, Choi Ji-hoon!
-With 50.4 percent, it's confirmed. -Confirmed.
CHOI JI-HOON ELECTED AS SEOUL MAYOR 50.4 PERCENT
Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon!
Dear respected Seoul citizens.
I want to thank everyone who worked hard
to support me until the very end.
All my supporters...
Yes.
Really?
Are you sure about that?
Yes.
-Hey, Ji-won. -Yes?
You're on standby at the airport this morning.
It's an early morning flight.
Okay.
Why doesn't he take a break? That Choi Ji-hoon never gets tired.
YU-MI: WHEN JI-HOON GETS ON THE FLIGHT TO AMERICA TOMORROW MORNING,
THAT MIGHT BE OUR CHANCE
Hello?
Are you Prosecutor Lee Duk-chan?
Thank you for your work.
Gosh.
The place Min-jae is at is quite far from San Francisco.
It'll be tiring to drive the car yourself...
The distance is about the same from here to Busan, right?
It's okay. I traveled across the States before.
You can go.
Mayor, congratulations!
Thank you.
Congratulations, Professor Lee.
-Go. Hurry up and go now. -Okay.
Go and rest.
Congratulations on getting what you wanted.
But
I have to leave right now.
Where to?
My mom is in a critical state.
Your mom is in the UK.
I'm joking.
But you know, now is not a good time.
Wait.
Mr. Jung.
Send someone to Hana Nursing Home in Gangwon-do right now.
-Yes, send Ms. Cho. -The door's closing.
Yes.
Out of the way!
Move back!
He's coming out!
Please say a few words!
When are you coming back?
Excuse me.
Do not swarm around, it's dangerous!
Please let them pass.
Reporters, please make way. Passing through.
Move your head! Geez.
Passing through.
Our plane is prepared to depart.
Please fasten your seat belts
and switch your electronic devices to airplane mode.
MS. CHO
Hello?
Professor Lee.
Ms. Yoon Hong-ju who was in her 70s
passed away this morning
at 6:54 a.m.
Honey, give me your passport.
Why?
We need it for the insurance.
JI-WON: THE PROSECUTOR IS READY, BUT SOMEONE AT THE TOP IS STOPPING US
I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 14 HOURS, BUT THEY WON'T LET ME SEE HIM
Are you tired?
I gave it a bit of thought,
and I think it'd be best if you take a break.
My schedule was packed, but I pushed to make this happen.
We didn't come here to get Min-jae, did we?
When the news on him went out last time,
I moved him to Australia.
Stop the car and give me back my passport.
It's a newly built place,
so the facilities are nice and the surrounding view is beautiful.
Where?
You know,
when one focuses on oneself too much,
you can get depressed.
You should go where the air is nice
and take a break while thinking things over.
You've never been to the US before, right?
Shoot. Darn it.
Darn it.
Hey!
Hey, come here and grab this.
Lee Anna.
Darn it.
Damn it!
JI-WON: YU-MI, I DON'T THINK PROSECUTION WILL HELP
I'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
Darn it.
Hey!
Anna, what are you doing?
Come back here!
The thing with people is that
they lie even in the diary no one else reads.
But the truth is simple
and lies are complicated.
Anyone who knows the reason to live
can endure any situation.
Darn it.
Hey! Hey!
SOO-MI'S PORK BONE SOUP
Lee Yu-mi!
If you endure it all,
the chance will definitely come.
It has always been like that.
I always do everything
I set my mind to.
Step back!
At 6:10 a.m. local time
on Route 50, California,
Seoul Mayor Choi Ji-hoon was found dead.
The rental car Choi was in had completely burned down.
A search to find the whereabouts of his wife Lee Anna,
who is presumed to have accompanied him, is ongoing.
So many are falling off.
MEMORIAL ALTAR FOR SEOUL MAYOR CHOI JI-HOON
What is this?
He doesn't have any mourners.
Everyone else aside from us are reporters.
Those associated with him must be scared.
Even the public prosecutor was booted. Who would dare to come here?
That's true.
So, how is your new place?
I get a lot of sunlight.
It ventilates well, and the water pressure is good.
Right. My furnace is brand new.
New is good.
Furnace...
Are you that happy?
The thing is, these are bare necessities
a person needs to live.
-That's true. -So
I don't know why I'm so moved by it.
Having money is the best.
Money is great.
You skipped over three pay grades.
Now you get twice as much money. It must be great.
It is. It's totally great.
But you still regret turning down a major station, right?
A long time ago,
someone told me I wouldn't last while doing things the way I do.
But I'll endure it and tough it out.
I'll keep on writing exclusives and boast around.
That would be so annoying to watch. You'll be hated.
Well, it's not any different from when I got hired through connections.
I'll just hang in there.
Okay. Hang in there.
-I'll do it well. -Okay.
In the history of plane crashes,
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 still remains the most mysterious.
After four years of investigation, it will come to a close this month.
Do you think Lee Anna is still alive?
Are you well?
Why did you come all the way out here?
You might run into a bear.
Hey.
Hey! Are you crazy?
