We found the restaurant employee.
She disappeared when we offered 100,000 dollars.
What are you talking about?
I'll call the police.
So we offered her 200,000 dollars.
That's what people are like.
No one can refuse money.
Her eyes bulged out of her head when she saw the cash.
But she's out of her mind.
She threatened us for 100,000 more.
Instead of negotiating with a money-crazed con artist,
we thought it be better to discuss this with you.
That's why we're here.
Why would you discuss that with me?
I don't even know the employee.
Just get out.
- Get out before I call the cops! - Hey, hey.
- Get out, now! - We're leaving.
(Episode 8)
(District representative)
(Honest People Party, Ji Hwa Ja)
Are you trying to get thrown into prison?
Do what you want.
Take the 100,000 or 300,000 dollars.
Only you'll go to prison, not me.
Can you prove that I paid you?
Cash leaves no trace.
Do you think I didn't even think of that?
What?
You asked them for 300,000 dollars.
Those three...
tried to test me?
Okay.
Stay hiding until I call you back.
Those sly girls.
They tried to dupe me?
Yes?
I think I left something behind.
You're such a mess.
It should be somewhere here.
Where is it?
Here it is. I'm so sorry.
Wait.
That phone.
Let me see it.
Why would you want to see my phone? You're weird.
- Gosh! What are you doing? - Hand it over.
What wrong with you?
- Hey. - What are you doing?
Stay still!
Wait.
Hey. You.
Oh, dear.
Ji Hwa Ja, that witch.
My knees...
Where's the phone?
The phone.
Where is it?
It should be here.
I saw her drop it.
Did someone take it already?
No.
Where'd that woman go?
Oh, no.
Hey, what's wrong?
What a mess.
Where is he? What now?
What's the matter?
Where's the phone?
We need to find where the waste paper collector went.
Why must we do that?
She noticed what we did...
and fought me to take the phone.
Did you lose it?
I threw it out the window...
and it fell into the waste paper collector's vehicle.
Hey! You can't afford to lose that!
You should've protected it with your life.
You don't deserve to help your husband.
Can we find it?
We have to. My family's pride and reputation's at stake.
Let's go to the borough office.
Get in.
What are you doing?
The supermarket's dying,
so I woke you up.
Who are you to care if the supermarket's...
dying or falling asleep?
Seeing this failing business...
makes me feel weak and down.
My goodness.
Why would you feel down because...
Are you...
our new store manager?
Yes.
I thought you'd start next week.
I had a look around yesterday.
You bought a 500ml bottle of water.
I couldn't sleep at all last night.
Should I take on this supermarket or not?
I was told they'd close this store at the end of the quarter.
How did you get sent over here?
This quarter?
You close this month?
Said who?
Aren't you from the head office?
No.
I was in KG Construction before I was sent here.
Then you know nothing about distribution.
You seem to know a lot.
Is that why you are...
playing Janggi with a junior staff during work hours?
Our business failed and we're closing anyway...
Stop.
This is Kim Bok Nam.
Put Director Jo on.
You told me to fight.
Do you just want me to die?
Did you think I'd get you a flashy job when you were fired?
Why would I put you in charge of a flourishing store?
Show us what you're capable of.
Admiral Yi said this.
"I still have 12 ships under my command."
You still have an amazing span of two weeks.
If you can turn things around, would we close it down?
Mr. Kim.
You turn 60 soon.
You're not a kid, so stop calling me to whine.
Do you understand?
It's not over until it's over.
We reopen the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow? That's nonsense.
Why is it nonsense?
If you understand a little bit of the distribution industry,
you can never say that.
As of today, I'm the store manager.
I will bring this supermarket back to life.
- Manager, sir. - What?
I think the timing's great.
Chuseok is next week, a peak shopping season.
Take all the fruit and display it outside.
Sell them at half price.
Half price?
I saw you argue with a customer yesterday.
Will you let everything rot?
All right. Let's get to work.
- My gosh. - Hey.
How are we to find a phone here?
It should ring if we call it.
I put it on vibrate because we were recording.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack. No way.
We must find it. Start looking.
Oh, dear.
- Gosh! It's a cockroach! - My goodness.
(Police Station)
Assemblywoman Ji thinks only she has a recording,
but politicians these days...
are very careful with what they do and say.
What we established for decades...
could crumble in an instant.
So when we must meet someone in private,
everyone brings...
Everyone brings...
something like this.
- A recorder? - Yes.
Listen to the whole conversation that...
Assemblywoman Ji sent.
Shall I show you what it means to be passionate?
Very well.
I'll passionately give you the budget for the dog park.
Let me be the next head of council too.
You men did it all along.
You were offering her the budget?
That's exactly it.
She cut out the front and last bit...
and made me look like a pervert.
It's not like...
I'm a cheap thug who threatens people for...
Thank you.
You proved her recording was edited out.
The problem is now the photos.
She snapped you at the scene.
How do you explain that?
Okay, so that...
No.
Think carefully.
It's not too powerful...
I'm grasping at straws here.
I can't afford to be picky.
If it's to prove my innocence,
I will do anything.
Then do it now.
Detective.
Isn't this enough?
I said it's not.
Bring something concrete.
If you can't, a prosecutor will take over.
I...
I will confess.
Don't you blame me later on.
Nice.
This stinks.
Oh, dear.
Darn this.
What a mess. Poor me.
It's your last chance.
Here.
I'm...
unable of committing such a crime.
I can't do it.
That's a doctor's letter from...
Hanguk University Hospital's Professor Go Chi Yeol.
I'm not afraid of going to prison.
But...
a person like Ji Hwa Ja should never be a politician.
Such people...
only suck the blood from our constituents.
We must eliminate such people from serving.
It must've been so hard for you.
You must have kept it secret.
I found out that there are a lot more like us than we think.
Then you too, detective...
I have the same issue.
Gosh.
Were you playing soccer too when...
I was fighting a group of thugs and...
Oh, dear. Poor you.
- How did you manage? - Poor you.
It's okay, it's okay.
What should we do?
We must do something. People come before law.
- You must clear your name. - What?
Correct the broadcast that went out.
Yes. You must speak to the press.
Speak... in front of reporters?
Yes. Like a press conference.
Let's not go that far.
If you just let me go,
- I can sort it out... - No.
You can't prove your innocence like that.
But if you can bring the media to your side,
that will change the tide.
I only know about law.
Trust me.
Hey! Call the reporters!
But... I don't think...
My gosh.
Why am I doing this?
Gosh. What is this doing here?
I found it!
- You did? - Be careful.
You found it?
- I found it! - Where is it?
- My goodness. - My gosh.
- Let go of me. - Hey.
Wait, wait.
Check the recording first.
Are you trying to get thrown into prison?
Do what you want.
Take the 100,000 or 300,000 dollars.
We got it!
- Hey, hey. - Let's go.
- Let's go. - Okay.
My goodness.
To correct...
our old-fashioned, corrupt politics,
and to guarantee the people of Jangsa-gu a happier life,
I give up my pride.
The pride of a man.
I'll give it up.
What's going on? Why are there reporters?
What's he going to talk about?
I cannot...
molest anyone.
10 years ago,
while playing soccer,
I got kicked in an important male...
Stop!
Wait, wait!
- Who's she? - Just a moment.
Hey. She's my wife.
Honey, go and listen to this.
What? Why? What is this?
The evidence that will clear you.
Go and listen to it. Don't film me! Don't do it!
- I'm... Honey. Darling. - Don't shoot me.
What's going on?
Run!
- Honey! - Wait.
- Don't film me. - It's nothing, really.
Honey! Honey!
What evidence?
What?
Right.
Only you'll go to prison, not me.
Can you prove that I paid you?
Cash leaves no trace.
Do you think I didn't even think of that?
I love you, darling.
Dal Sook, I love you.
This is illegal.
What?
Lawyer So.
It's illegal to record a call as the third party.
This isn't admissible as evidence.
How is it not evidence when it's this clear?
What kind of a mess is this?
Assemblyman.
Read up, will you?
This is common knowledge.
How can you talk about comforting the people...
with this level of common sense and knowledge?
However,
this was enough to clear your name.
Now we know Assemblywoman Ji was behind this,
we'll focus the investigation on her.
We should be able to arrest her.
Do you think that...
the reporters caught on?
How much did you say?
I don't really know.
10 years ago, while playing soccer,
I got kicked in an important male part.
Since then,
I slowly lost my confidence as a man.
(Assemblyman Tak's confession)
How could I...
molest a...
I brought him something to clear his name.
What is he doing?
Do you find this funny?
You can laugh out loud, you know.
Gosh, you survived a long time.
Jin Ok, we should get her a plaque...
with the money we saved to remember her efforts.
How could he think of telling the press that?
I'm sure he has some political masterplan.
All he thinks about is how to win more votes...
in the next election.
Now everyone knows that...
you got no action in 10 years.
Now I'm too embarrassed to go out in public.
In a cell or out of one,
I guess he's destined to embarrass me forever.
Be nice to him when he gets out.
How can I after how he shamed me?
He's in the clear at least.
I don't even want to think how I'd have managed without you.
Who are we? We're Lady Cha Dalrae.
See you.
Gosh, I'm so embarrassed!
355,500 dollars.
This is all I get for living with him for 16 years?
I'll have nothing left after getting a house.
Director, it's Nam Mi Rae.
Did you like my singing?
You never called back.
What?
Really?
The main character's mom?
Darn it.
Sure, I'll do it.
Yes, I'll be there. Bye.
Did you find work?
I am but...
it's as the main character's mom. I only get those roles.
You played the main just twice.
In "Mamma Mia!" and that thing with nuns.
Was it "Nunsense"?
I played the main many times before you were born.
Anyway, you're at your best when you work.
Am I?
I do look good.
(Jeil Hospital)
- You're leaving now? - Yes.
- Where's your stuff? - Here.
This is it?
A change of clothes, two pairs of underwear and socks,
toiletries, and my laptop.
That's all I need. What else?
I like your simplicity.
Take this.
No thanks. I don't want it.
I'll get some money at the airport.
- Your hand. - Why?
Take it.
(Cafeteria)
Where in Africa will you go?
Don't ask. You'll try to visit.
I won't visit.
Just tell me.
Hello.
Have some more.
So,
you didn't talk to Mom?
I said I can't.
I left a letter.
You talk to Mom for me.
I will but...
She'll be really upset.
Think about the two years before you got into university.
She did so much for you.
She's 30 percent responsible for getting you in.
I know.
That's why I struggled.
I'm glad you know.
Update your social media sometimes.
At least let us know you're alive.
Okay.
- Is it good? - Yes.
To Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I can't bear to say I'm leaving.
The phone is turned off.
So Young, did Dae Young tell you he's leaving?
When did he leave?
Today. He said he'll transfer in Hong Kong.
It's an 8pm flight so there's still time...
Mom. Mom.
Do you come here to play?
You eat and chat with a friend...
and make calls during work hours.
What's wrong with you?
I apologize.
Let's focus.
Don't you know one small mistake can affect a patient's life?
Nurse Ahn.
Aren't you a senior nurse?
Why didn't you say anything?
I apologize.
Stay alert, please.
Sorry, Nurse Ahn. I got you in trouble too.
You did. Everything he said is right.
Let's be careful.
Okay.
Hasn't Nurse Baek been a bit odd these days?
Is it really a mid-life crisis?
(Tak's Real Estate)
- Drink. - Thanks.
You even got me a lawyer.
Thanks a lot.
I should help whenever I can.
I was impressed by your courage.
Not everyone could do that.
Confessing a shameful condition.
Come on.
It wasn't courage. I took a direct approach.
A direct approach?
Everyone knows...
how I got out.
Also, bad rumors spread faster than good ones.
Word will get out soon.
People will gossip wherever I go.
That would be worse in the long-run.
You could be right.
Tell the truth,
fix the problem...
Will you stop it?
You're right. Don't provide a cause.
If you show one weakness,
everyone attacks. That's the world of politics.
Anyway, I'm glad you're back.
Goodness. Thank you so much.
I should tell my wife I found a nice place.
You go ahead.
How am I to...
face my wife at home?
I'm so worried.
Honey.
Should I have...
spent a few years in prison?
Yes. That might've been a little less embarrassing.
Are you that ashamed?
I feel ashamed, that's why.
I feel sorry for me, poor Dal Sook,
who felt neglected as a wife for 10 years.
What are you talking about?
When did I neglect you?
A wife is a wife when you face her lying in bed.
Did we ever face each other?
The year we moved here,
we did it once or twice to celebrate.
Was I ever your wife after that?
You told the whole world about that. How would I feel embarrassed?
So I promised my constituents.
That I'd recover my pride as a man.
That I'd become wholesome again...
so I can do my best to serve them...
and make them happy.
What a joke.
Why promise your constituents? You should promise me.
I'm a politician.
I had to put it like that.
It's a promise to you too.
Anyway,
how could you say "what a joke" to your husband?
Are you mocking me for being irresponsible?
You talk about your constituents when you can't satisfy me.
Don't put me down.
If you do, this won't work, you know.
Dad, are you home?
Yes, I am.
You talk to them. I can't.
- Come with me. - No.
- Come with me. - Go away.
Girls.
Hey.
What do you know that you bought tofu?
People who did time in movies all eat tofu.
Don't you ever go back there again.
I didn't do time. I was let go because I'm innocent.
Either way, you were behind bars.
Are you two okay?
Aren't you embarrassed?
Why be embarrassed about being sick?
I'd feel worse if you were a criminal.
Yes, this is nothing.
You can see a doctor. It's not terminal.
You don't need to give us another sibling. It's fine.
Thank you, girls.
You're all I have.
Girls.
I'm so sorry!
I love you both!
Come to Daddy.
Come here.
I love you, girls.
Give me that.
Dae Young.
The phone is turned off.
Dae Young.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Why are you out and about instead of cooking for...
your husband who worked all day?
Stop it! Stop it, you fool!
They're definitely related in this.
I'll bring her in and interrogate her.
You wait and see, you kid.
Good luck in there, trash.
