(Episode 21)
I'm so happy.
I wish we could be like this forever.
Nothing bad will happen ever again.
I promise.
Jung Gook is a con artist.
Kim Mi Young and your entire family...
are being fooled...
by Jung Gook.
You don't believe me,
- do you? - You say...
my sister's husband is a con artist.
Who would believe that so readily?
It's not like you have solid evidence.
Evidence?
You must like evidence.
Fine.
I'll show you something better than evidence.
Bring him in.
It's so dry.
Our general manager of collections...
is Mr. Choi.
Mr. Choi Pil Joo.
His specialty is finding people...
who take our money...
and try to hide.
This time, he went to...
Panama?
Somewhere like that.
He charged in on the corporate card...
and flew business. That louse.
Well, regardless, he did find her.
So I didn't complain too much.
When he gets here,
pat him on the back for a job well done.
It won't cost you any money.
He's here.
A witness is much better than evidence.
A living witness...
that talks.
Now,
do you like my answer,
our dear candidate?
That's all I can tell you.
You may go if you're done.
Mr. Choi.
Get her a hotel room.
And keep an eye on her.
Yes, ma'am.
Move it. Stop dawdling.
You con artist.
I think that's enough to trust each other now.
Shall we talk business now?
If I give you Jung Gook's 15 percent,
it'll be 43 versus 39.
You'll beat Kang Soo Il by four percent.
However, that's not enough of a buffer.
It's just a survey.
So it can fluctuate by 4 percent easily.
It'll be up to me.
No.
It'll be up to us.
We're in it together.
I wouldn't make you do all the work.
I'm not a gangster or anything.
Let's take down Kang Soo Il...
with one powerful blow.
- Get home safely. - Okay.
He has 39 percent approval ratings.
Kang Soo Il, the leading candidate...
according to the polls,
drives under the influence again...
just as he did in 2002 and 2007.
The deepest-rooted belief in this country...
is that people don't change,
habits are hard to change,
and things like that.
Gosh, Kang Soo Il. You still haven't kicked...
your bad drinking habit.
That's so noisy.
Can't we go quietly?
Quietly.
I said let's go quietly.
Where did he go?
Who's honking?
What's going on?
Move your car, idiot!
What are you doing, you punk?
Are you drunk?
- Oh my gosh. - Get moving already!
Get moving! Where are you going?
Excuse me!
What are you doing?
You punk!
- Hey! - Excuse me.
- What are you doing? - Well...
- Were you drinking? - No. I...
You jerk!
No, that's not it.
Next on the news.
Minjin Party's candidate for the National Assembly,
Kang Soo Il, was arrested...
for driving under the influence.
According to the police,
Kang Soo Il drove...
after drinking and was caught...
at a DUI stop point...
near Seowon Park around 10:55pm last night.
Kang's blood alcohol level at the time was...
0.089 percent,
which is high enough to lose his license.
Let's have a press conference.
Let's put an end...
to this wretched election.
(Kang Soo Il Should Withdraw From Candidacy)
Hello.
I'm the candidate for the Nationalist Party,
Han Sang Jin.
When I heard about Kang Soo Il's DUI...
this morning,
I was uncontrollably distressed.
This incident severely damaged the reputation...
of the people of Seowon.
So I'll not look idly by.
- Here. This one. - Okay.
(2, Han Sang Jin)
Hey. How far did Kang Soo Il drop by?
20 percent?
Nice.
I'd like to say this...
to Mr. Kang Soo Il right now.
If you have any shame,
withdraw your candidacy immediately...
and apologize to the people of Seowon.
Yes. Exactly how much?
About five percent more?
33 versus 19?
We're leading.
Yes.
Okay, sure. Check every minute.
Okay!
I urge you once again, Mr. Kang Soo Il.
Please...
withdraw.
Only your withdrawal...
will fix this situation...
and salvage what's left of the pride...
of Seowon residents. That is how I feel.
(Kang Soo Il Should Withdraw From Candidacy)
That is all.
(Kang Soo Il Should Withdraw From Candidacy)
You set that up?
Still,
would we get Kang Soo Il's votes?
I think...
we'll just be helping Han Sang Jin.
You hit it.
You owe me 30 dollars.
Why? I hit three cushions before I hit your ball.
It's a house rule. You can't hit it...
even after hitting three cushions.
30 dollars.
Seriously. Rich people are even worse.
I'm playing...
this boring game because of you.
So stop whining.
I'm going to drop Jung Gook now,
just so you know.
What do you mean?
I'm going to have Jung Gook withdraw.
Before he withdraws,
he'll say he supports Han Sang Jin.
If you get him to say that,
your part is done.
You can go home and play with your baby.
Change some diapers too.
Are you saying you'll give Jung Gook's votes...
to Han Sang Jin?
Out of the blue? Why?
It's not out of the blue.
That was the plan from the get-go.
You said so yourself,
that it's impossible to make...
a con artist an Assemblyman.
Step aside.
I don't think this is right.
You're angry, aren't you?
Because I didn't tell you in advance.
No, I'm not talking about me.
I don't think it's right to do that to Jung Gook.
That's way too inconsiderate.
Why is it inconsiderate?
I forced him to run against his will.
That's not the case anymore, that's why.
It was against his will before,
but he's giving his all now.
Whether he gives his all...
or loses all is none of my concern.
It's none of your concern either.
The Nationalist Party said...
they'd send you someone.
They will? To me? Why?
I heard it in passing so I don't know either.
I'm sure you'll know once you meet the person.
Everyone is going back...
to where they started.
Me, Jung Gook,
and you.
I almost hit it.
Your turn.
A traveling civil complaint service?
- Yes. - Visit each person?
- Yes. - Is that necessary?
We're already doing...
"Tell Yang Jung Gook Your Wish."
And Assemblyman Kim says just before the election,
I need to show my face as much as possible.
I have to develop superpowers.
I have to teleport from place to place.
Babe, this is what I think.
It isn't important for people to know us.
It's important for us to know the people.
Some lack the courage to come and speak up.
We can't abandon those people.
They're citizens just like everyone else.
Are you ready?
(Traveling civil complaint service)
The water is rusty...
in our entire complex for days now.
Their water has been rusty for days. That's wrong.
When will you fix it?
When will you begin construction on the pipes?
I'm sorry, but there isn't enough in the city budget.
There isn't enough again?
Why is that budget always so short?
They're doing construction next door to our place.
It creates so much dust.
So we can't open our windows.
Excuse me. Hey, you!
Spray water as you work.
You're getting dust everywhere!
Spray water right now. I'm a cop. I'll arrest you.
I wish there were a crosswalk out front.
It's a high-accident zone.
Why are you complaining about the budget again?
It's just a crosswalk!
When will the budget actually have enough?
What day, what time...
Forget it. I'll paint it myself.
This is how you do it, right?
I went to Harvard.
I'm an alum.
- Really? - Yes.
You must know Professor George Powell.
Of course. He's still so strong.
- Gosh. - So you went to Harvard.
What are you doing? Aren't you campaigning?
Hello, sir.
I came to see you. Should we get lunch?
Who eats pork belly for lunch?
You should eat pork belly for lunch to look cool.
You look...
even cooler if you have it with soju.
This is the privilege of being a part-timer.
You like privileges way too much.
Why are you here?
What do you think?
I was sent by the party to bring you...
great news. That's why I'm here.
What great news would your party have for me?
Just because you defected, it's "your party" already?
I didn't defect. I was kicked out!
Either way, the Nationalist Party...
is your home. Am I wrong?
Home, my foot.
Regardless,
don't you think it's time to come home?
By building a town center and stuff.
What?
If you make a decision...
for the greater good, I will place you...
on a throne.
What do you say? You know me well.
You know I've got pull in the party.
What Assemblyman wins three terms these days?
This one.
I've been wanting to say this to you for a while.
- What is it? - You're all fluff.
You brag about yourself every time you talk.
Even now.
You were saying decide for the greater good,
then suddenly you brag about yourself.
That's how it works now.
You have to sell yourself.
Look. You don't know how things work anymore.
Go with the flow.
Anyway, let me continue.
Just get to the point already.
What do you need me to do for you?
Dump Yang Jung Gook.
And take Han Sang Jin's side.
Sang Jin's ratings went up a little...
because Kang Soo Il messed up,
but Sang Jin wasted his time just as much.
Although Soo Il lost 20 percent in ratings,
Sang Jin only gained five percent.
It's obvious...
that the tables may flip at any point.
So you're saying...
you want Sang Jin to get Jung Gook' votes...
to finish this election soon, right?
Exactly. You're so quick.
- Management majors... - Economics, you idiot!
Regardless. Management, economics, whatever!
Why should I do that, though?
Why should I help your party?
Our party needs to survive...
in order for you to survive.
Give me a break.
Do you know what the committee decided?
If you bring Jung Gook's votes and help Sang Jin,
you'll be readmitted into the party.
- Go. - And next year,
Sang Jin will switch over to proportional rep.
- Go. - And you'll run again...
for this district, Seowon.
What do you say? Sounds good, right?
Yes, right? You feel me, right?
This was my idea.
I was taking out my recycling, and...
I felt the urge to give you a present.
- Can I trust you? - Of course, you can.
- You're not playing me? - Definitely not.
Just get right to it...
and dump Yang Jung Gook.
We need to use this in Injung-dong too,
so please get it ready.
- I've done it before. - In Harvard? Okay.
Nice.
Strike Jung Gook and take Sang Jin's hand.
Then you'd be helping the world.
Your...
political life will be renewed.
Assemblyman, what's wrong?
Do you feel sick?
No, no.
My lunch didn't agree with me or something.
You must have indigestion. Do you need medicine?
No, it's fine.
Anyway, you should take it easy.
- Why are you working... - Just a minute.
It's Chairman Park.
Hi, Chairman Park.
Now?
Sure. See you there.
Chairman Park wants to have dinner together.
I guess she has something to say.
I guess. I'll be back soon.
We need to campaign more when I get back.
You should go in and rest if you don't feel well.
You look terrible.
The campaign is important, but so is your health.
Jung Gook.
You've...
You've done...
well until now.
Why are you saying that already?
We have so much more to do.
See you later.
What's wrong with eating together?
- I can buy lunch... - You're so mean.
- Hey. - Yes?
You hit me on purpose, didn't you?
Yes.
My goodness.
Gosh.
Sorry. Why did you suddenly stand, punk?
What do I do?
- Hey. - What?
Will you keep this up?
Of course, I need to keep working.
Think about what you did to our lieutenant.
This tastes good. Eat it.
Hyun Chul, I got hit.
You did?
You rotten scoundrel. How dare you hit him?
- Hey. - Yes.
- Good. - Hey...
You jerk!
- Stop it! - What's going on here?
Stop it!
Was that revenge?
- It was loyalty. - Give me a break.
Detective Jang, that scumbag...
That jerk is why our lieutenant got suspended.
We felt we needed to do something.
You're so loyal,
but you have no guts.
Is that why you pulled that trick?
To make him throw the first punch?
Lieutenant Kim said not to cause trouble...
We're sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Who is he? - He is...
an officer on our team.
Did you call Myung Shik?
Yes.
We're on the same team. So we should...
get scolded together.
Same team?
And yet, you took the money by yourself.
What do you mean?
That's enough. Silence.
Everyone but Hyun Chul, get out.
Pardon?
Hyun Chul?
Yes, ma'am.
Say something stupid, and you die.
- What? Like what? - You...
I said to get out! Now!
I don't want to even look at you!
Let's go.
Okay. Go.
Salute.
Gosh.
Hyun Chul.
Can I trust you?
Why won't you answer me?
Can I trust you?
I think it's meaningless for me to say...
you can trust me.
If you trust me,
trust me.
But if you're torn about trusting me,
give it to someone else.
That's only right. That is all.
There's a punk...
who was arrested for running a con...
in 2001 and spent two years in prison.
I need you to dig into his life.
Yes, ma'am.
Find out where he lives,
what he does, and everything.
What is that con artist's name?
Yang Shi Chul.
That's his name.
Why did you want to meet at a place like this?
This place looks crazy expensive.
Is that why it's empty?
It's empty because I rented it out.
You saw that in dramas and stuff.
For real?
You rented out this entire restaurant?
Why?
Let's talk about that slowly over dinner.
We'll have two of my usual.
You must come here often.
Seeing how you ask for "the usual".
No. It's my second time...
in five years.
Five years?
Then why did you ask for your usual?
You have to ask for your usual...
at places like these so they don't disrespect you.
Look. The entire menu is in English,
although we're in Korea.
What? They even put the drinks in English.
Those jerks don't want us to understand any of it.
Waiter! I'll have my usual drink, too.
How's the campaign going?
Yes. It's fun.
I'm doing it anyway,
might as well enjoy it.
I hear you and Mi Young are working well together.
Yes. She says it's fun...
now that she got into it.
She likes meeting people too.
- That's good. - But the best part is...
This is a bit embarrassing, but...
Being with me...
Going here and there with you.
I know it's just around the neighborhood...
Spending the entire day with you,
seeing each other, laughing together,
eating together, and things like that.
The fact that I can spend every day with you...
makes me so happy.
It reminded me of when we were dating, too.
That's what she said.
I feel the same, too.
That's why we decided...
to forget the past until the election is over.
We decided to laugh...
and enjoy ourselves until the election over.
And forget the hardships for the time being.
If I were being myself, I would've...
said what I wanted to,
showered, and been in bed by now.
But I can't do that today.
It's difficult and uncomfortable somehow...
to bring this up.
Why? What do you want to say to me?
It's so unlike you.
Right?
Being considerate and stuff...
is unlike me, right?
Considerate?
Did you...
Did you just say, "considerate"?
Yes. Fine.
Yes, it's funny.
It's funny to me, too, now that I think about it.
You made me burst out laughing.
A person shouldn't try to change.
I'm crying. I need a tissue.
Okay, then.
I'll just be me then. Listen up.
Jung Gook.
Withdraw from the election now.
Jung Gook.
Withdraw from the election now.
Don't run for the Assembly?
Correct.
Stop it.
Why?
I never planned to keep you in the race for long.
Announce you support Han Sang Jin,
and withdraw.
A con artist can't become an Assemblyman.
That's what I said before in the bathhouse!
You didn't listen to me then, so why...
You said I can just buy brunch instead of lunch,
and hand out scarves instead of towels.
Why are you so upset?
You were trying so hard to get out of running.
Even Mi Young is helping me now,
and you tell me to quit.
It's because Han Sang Jin agreed to do...
what I was going to have you do.
So you can stop now.
Go back to where you came from.
Sang Jin agreed to do it?
Repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act?
Yes.
He acted like he was all pure and innocent.
Now, he's teaming up with a loan shark?
Whatever the case may be,
I refuse to quit now.
I have too many people helping out just for me.
No. It's too humiliating. I can't.
Plus, to be honest, I'm more trustworthy...
than Sang Jin.
Trust me. Me.
He changes his time on a whim...
because he's blinded by his desire to win.
How could you trust him of all...
I trusted a con artist. Whom can't I trust?
Your ratings won't go up any further.
No matter what you do,
you can't beat someone with a party.
The press conference is at noon tomorrow. Withdraw.
At noon tomorrow?
How could you do that without consulting me?
Are you a gangster?
A gang...
If I were a gangster,
I wouldn't be talking to you here,
having expensive food and wine.
You conned my dad out of six million dollars.
You worked for me...
for exactly four days shy of a month.
Consider it the highest paid employment ever.
222,222 dollars a day.
With this, we're even.
That's the best thing for you, too.
Who would vote for...
a con artist like you?
Stop saying that.
You're the one who made a con artist run.
Who are you...
to tell me to run, and then to quit?
I say I can do it!
Trust me, will you?
There's something...
I learned...
from spending so much time with you.
It's that you never listen to mere words.
I fed you expensive food,
but that hasn't changed.
Get up.
Let's get some fresh air.
It's so hot.
Number Five, Yang Jung Gook.
Please vote for him.
Number Five, Yang Jung Gook.
You know, right?
You're so pretty.
Thank you.
Number Five, Yang Jung Gook.
The Brave Citizen will bravely...
You're Yang Jung Gook's wife, right?
I can't believe I get to see you in person.
It's so nice to meet you.
Hello. It's nice to meet you as well.
The Brave Citizen will bravely protect you.
Number Five, Yang Jung Gook.
Yes, I'll definitely vote for him.
I'm his fan.
I adore you, too.
I can't believe I met you here.
What a coincidence.
Thank you.
Please vote for him.
Sit.
Nothing will happen.
I told her to just meet today.
Whether they meet again,
and what they talk about...
is all up to you.
Do you know your place now?
As long as I know your past,
you have no choice but to do as I say.
So stop being a stubborn mule...
and making me lose my temper.
Earn your steak now.
The press conference...
at noon announcing your withdrawal.
You can do it, right?
No.
You have to, right, Jung Gook?
Right?
Jung Gook agreed to withdraw tomorrow.
So all you have left to do now...
is receive your Assemblyman's badge.
What did Jung Gook say?
He wanted to fight to the end.
He did give me a load of crock,
but he has no choice but to do as he's told.
I had to use Mi Young again.
What do you mean, you had to use Mi Young?
What do you think?
"If you don't obey, I'll tell Mi Young..."
"that you're a con artist." That's what.
That annoying jerk never listens...
unless I go that far.
You know,
you should just...
tell Mi Young that Jung Gook is a con artist.
He's always talking about "my Mi Young" this,
"my Mi Young" that. He thinks he owns...
every Mi Young out there.
Once I'm done with this busy stuff,
I need to get myself a boyfriend or something.
He's so annoying.
While we're on the topic,
should we just go and tell Mi Young?
"Your husband is a con artist,"
"and you've been fooled all this time."
No, I don't think that's right.
No.
Let's let them resolve it themselves.
It may be the biggest pain she ever suffers.
It hurts even more...
if you find out through someone else.
If the truth won't make either person happy,
it's only right to bury it.
My Mi Young has many scars...
already.
It's "my Mi Young" for you, too?
Mi Young is so lucky.
Everyone who called me "my Hoo Ja"...
died and are all gone now.
Fine.
You can do as you wish.
Just remember this one thing.
Once you get Jung Gook's votes tomorrow,
your rating will be 48 percent.
You know I own a significant share...
in that 48 percent, don't you?
Assemblyman Han Sang Jin...
is a creation of Park Hoo Ja.
Don't forget that,
okay?
I'm exhausted.
I'm sure.
You worked hard.
You should go to bed early too.
You have to campaign all day tomorrow too.
Right.
Go to sleep first. I'll...
I'll go to sleep soon too.
- Mi Young. - Yes?
What if...
I pull out...
of the election?
Why? Do you want to quit?
No, well...
Not exactly.
The election is drawing near.
So all these thoughts are flooding in.
Plus, it'll be hard to win...
with my current rating.
I'm fine with it.
Win or not,
you're my husband,
and the man I love.
I'm fine either way.
But babe.
Yes?
When I think about all the people we met...
When I think about them,
I don't think it's right to quit now.
Being unable to do it...
because you lose is different from quitting.
It's okay to be unable to do it,
but let's not quit.
We should show respect to the people...
who believe in us and support us.
What do you mean, what happened?
It's not like I told him to quit.
He was going to quit regardless of what I said.
Let's talk at home.
I'll pack my things and go home soon.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Why aren't you sleeping?
Assemblyman Kim.
So, you heard, right?
Yes.
Given what it is,
let's look at it optimistically.
You never wanted to run in the first place.
That is true.
Don't go around conning people anymore.
You'll really get caught by your wife someday.
What?
Are you disappointed...
that you have to quit?
To be honest,
I didn't want to run for the Assembly...
more than anything.
But doing something I hated...
actually made people happy.
Mi Young, too.
To be completely honest, given what it is...
As you already know,
I'm a con artist.
Before I started this, people smiled...
when I lied.
I'd hand over a deed to a dead piece of land,
and say it's a gold mine, about to be redeveloped.
They smiled when I fed them those lies.
I'd lie that a building worth 500,000 dollars...
was worth 2 million. I'd sell for 1 million...
only to them and tell them that they lucked out.
Only when I lied like that,
people smiled for me.
But you know,
it was different when I was campaigning.
I told people how I honestly felt.
I told them exactly what I thought and felt,
Thank you.
and people smiled at me.
Well,
it's all over now.
As Chairman Park said,
it's time for me to go back to where I belong.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to trust you and take it all the way,
but this is the situation now.
So?
What is the conclusion?
You wanted to stop lying and be honest...
if you won the election?
No.
A useful person.
I want to become a useful person now.
Why did I have to come for my things?
I wanted to be tough.
What?
You want to become a useful person?
That's what I said when I first ran for Assemblyman.
But the punk who said that back then...
is doing this useless thing here and now,
working with a cruel loan shark.
That's not right.
Yang Jung Gook, candidate for Seowon,
will begin his press conference shortly.
- Dad! - With the by-election...
drawing near,
what will Yang Jung Gook say?
All eyes are on him now.
Many people surmise that Yang Jung Gook,
an independent, decided to withdraw from the fight...
between Kang Soo Il and Han Sang Jin.
The difference in the ratings...
for Kang Soo Il, who leads the polls,
and Han Sang Jin, who is in second,
is only eight percent.
If Yang Jung Gook does in fact withdraw,
both candidates desperately need...
his 10 percent.
What do you plan to say today?
Why are you so diligent?
You weren't this diligent before. Just wait.
What's the rush?
You'll find out in five minutes.
You won't gain anything from finding out first.
Hi, Mi Young.
Hi. I'm watching TV right now.
Are you really announcing your withdrawal?
Is that what you decided to do?
He won't suddenly go back on his word, will he?
No, he can't.
(Yang Jung Gook's Press Conference)
Hello.
I'm Yang Jung Gook, candidate for...
the National Assembly for Seowon.
Before starting, I'd like to say...
what I'd like to see in this election.
It may take a while so make yourselves...
comfortable.
Why are you stalling so darn much?
Yes! I hit it.
What I'd like to see in this election is this.
Candidates not criticizing each other,
but fighting on policies for the people.
What is he talking about? It's almost over.
I wish it would be a time of true harmony,
during which candidates care for, respect,
and congratulate each other.
My father used to often say...
if you share the light from your candle,
there will be two lit candles.
If you use that light...
to find yet another candle,
there will be three lit candles,
and then four,
and the darkness...
will disappear.
Did I say that?
I'm sure I heard that somewhere before.
When you're tired and exhausted...
When you're tired and exhausted
Lean on me.
I will always...
Stand by your side
So you don't feel
Like you're all alone.
What's that?
I will...
hold your hand.
- G. - O.
- D. - Awesome.
Oh my gosh.
Aren't those lyrics to a song?
That's not a song. It's so moving.
- I sincerely hope... - He's making me cry.
each and every one of the candidates...
will be a candle.
I hope they will lift the darkness...
that settled deeply in the political world.
I hope they will always stand by the voters.
So they don't feel like they are alone.
I hope they will hold...
the people's hands.
(Yang Jung Gook's Press Conference)
(I am withdrawing from the election.)
Thus, I, Yang Jung Gook,
want to play a small part in bringing harmony...
to Seowon which I love...
What do you mean?
Kang Soo Il withdrew? He just announced it?
- Change the channel. - Okay.
Hello,
my fellow citizens and residents of Seowon.
I am here to announce that I am withdrawing...
my candidacy for the National Assembly.
Yes!
When I look back,
it was difficult every step of the way.
I had to overcome all sorts of...
difficult circumstances during my campaign.
The warmth I felt...
from those of you who held my hand...
still warms my heart even now.
I hope that my decision...
will facilitate in bringing happiness...
to the people of Seowon.
Hey. Do we even have to vote?
Let's get the certificate that you won.
Congrats.
We had some issues,
but we finally made it.
You won.
Whereas I withdraw from the election,
I will continue to hope the people of Seowon...
will be happy. That will not change.
My dear people of Seowon.
Now, I hope...
you will respond to my sincerity.
I, Kang Soo Il,
ask that you give...
all the support you gave me...
to the independent candidate Yang Jung Gook.
Please band together...
to make sure Yang Jung Gook...
wins the election so that we can...
achieve what I failed to achieve.
This isn't right.
Why should I do as Hoo Ja tells me to do?
If she sticks her flag in here, I run here.
If she sticks her flag in there, I run there.
Why must I be dragged around like some buffoon?
Why should we, Jung Gook?
Those Nationalist Party punks are just as bad.
What do they take me for?
They were the ones who kicked me out.
Darn it.
Hey. Just do it.
Do what?
I have to quit.
Why would you quit?
You should do at least do one useful thing first...
if that's what you decided.
Let's get you the badge.
Let's take this all the way.
I appreciate the thought,
but there's no way for me...
to win the election.
What did I say before?
Politicians think about the next election, and...
great politicians think about the next generation.
Do you think there is...
a better politician than me in Korea?
No.
You're a con artist,
and I'm a politician.
There's only one thing we can do together.
Let's take a gamble.
Hey!
What gibberish is that?
You startled me.
Why do you say everything I say...
is gibberish?
I mean it.
Han Sang Jin was the one behind your DUI.
You should've treated your aides better.
You deserved it.
Hey, Joo Myung!
Are you here to taunt me?
Yes, I'm here to taunt you.
To make you lose your mind and do something crazy.
My fellow citizens,
I, Kang Soo Il,
beg of you once again.
The brave candidate who bravely protects you!
Candidate number five, Yang Jung Gook!
Please vote for Yang Jung Gook!
Why should I do that?
Hey, Joo Myung.
I'm not dead yet.
More than 15 percent of the people want me.
What nonsense is that?
Stop being an amateur, will you?
Times have changed.
You know it's not like how it used to be.
There's a video of you being arrested...
and giving an attitude to the cop circulating.
Even my wife saw it.
She said it put her in a good mood all day.
Why you little...
Sit down.
Don't be like that.
Let's stop here.
I heard your party dumped you after what happened.
I heard they won't support you.
You won't win anyway.
Given what it is,
shouldn't you throw mud on his face before you leave?
You don't want that jerk who framed you...
becoming an Assemblyman either.
Darn it.
Hey. To be blunt,
it's because you lost to me,
that you were able to stay in the game.
If you lose to a rookie like Han Sang Jin,
your political career is over right then and there!
Rather than letting a dirty rat get elected,
let's support a crazy fool.
Let's send the crazy fool to the Assembly...
and have him kicked out.
Then prepare hard for the next election.
You should beat me at least once.
You lost three times. That's humiliating.
(Let's do what you said.)
Let's do what you said.
(Yang Jung Gook's Press Conference)
I plan to stay with you until the bitter end.
You thought I'd give up, didn't you?
You all thought I'd quit, didn't you?
That's what you came here to hear, right?
Why would I quit?
Election Day is just around the corner.
I should at least see how many votes I get.
Why did you do that?
- Whatever! - Why did you waste food?
Why would I quit?
- For Han Sang Jin? - Hoo Ja.
- I can't do that. - This is huge.
No.
I'm watching.
No, not that.
Please vote for Yang Jung Gook.
Not number one,
not number two,
not number three,
not number four,
but five. Candidate number five.
Please vote for Yang Jung Gook.
What stupidity is that?
- Hello? - Are you watching TV?
If Jung Gook gets Kang Soo Il's 19 percent,
he'll have 34,
and Han Sang Jin has 33.
Whose side will you take now, Chairman Park?
Isn't the guy with a one-point lead better?
Let's talk in person.
(5, Yang Jung Gook)
Hi. I'm watching TV right now.
Are you really announcing your withdrawal?
Is that what you decided to do?
No.
I won't withdraw.
You said being unable to do it because I lose...
is different from not doing it because I quit.
Being unable to do it is fine,
but I won't quit.
I should show respect.
I'm heading out now.
Let's begin campaigning.
I may be unable to do it because I lose,
but I won't quit because I give up.
I will keep the promise...
I made to you.
Candidate number five,
independent candidate Yang Jung Gook.
Just one person!
As long as there's just one person...
who supports me,
I will not quit.
I will fight till the end!
That is...
what I sincerely want,
my fellow citizens.
(My Fellow Citizens)
I checked the records of their past graduates,
and he lied about his education!
I didn't want you to hear it from someone else.
Hearing you threaten me...
is firing up my competitive spirit.
The voting has ended.
I'm going to hold a press conference...
about Jung Gook.
Yang Jung Gook is catching up to Han Sang Jin.
- You can win! - Do you mean it?
We confirmed that Yang Jung Gook did not...
graduate from Seoul National University.
Let's become an Assemblyman.
Even someone like me can do it!
