(Episode 15)
There's only one reason...
why I'm telling you this.
It's election season.
What does Intellectual Crimes do...
during election season?
They make sure there are no illegal campaigning...
and find violations of election laws.
Lieutenant Kim Mi Young isn't suitable for that.
Her husband is running for Assemblyman.
It doesn't look right.
Send Mi Young on vacation...
until the elections are over.
I can stall for 3 or 4 days,
but not more than that.
I have no proper reason at the moment.
Okay, I understand what you mean.
So I was thinking,
let's hold off on the Park Hoo Ja case.
Get the informant and get an official statement.
Let's use that evidence and take it slowly.
No. I told you we don't have time.
I'm saying this because we have less time now.
How can you get her in 3 or 4 days?
Corporal Choi named you specifically.
He said you shouldn't be in Intellectual Crimes.
Then...
I'll arrest her tomorrow.
You said she has a mole on your team.
What about that?
Do you want...
to run into a fire carrying gasoline?
Detective Na is taking the day off tomorrow,
so she won't be here.
I won't tell...
the other detectives yet.
And I'll fill them in immediately before we go.
I'll confiscate their phones too.
You need...
to be rational about this.
Don't be emotional.
It's about my husband. How could I be rational?
It's only natural I'm emotional.
I will...
lock up Park Hoo Ja. And...
I'll pay off his debt with him.
Slowly.
- Start. - Yes, sir.
It's Mr. Han Sang Jin's turn.
You have 30 seconds for the question...
and one minute to answer.
Okay, begin.
Okay. I'm Han Sang Jin.
I'd like to ask Mr. Yang Jung Gook.
As an expert in economics, what do you think...
about using...
geeps...
GPS.
The economic motel...
Model.
Flatform...
Platform.
Induce...
Industry.
Chul Soo, ask the next question.
The sun will set while you read that.
Okay. Thank you.
You are against building the low-income housing.
You also stated that you'd redevelop Injung-dong...
and build a luxury apartment complex.
I think these plans segregate neighborhoods...
and polarize the district...
That is incorrect.
Okay. You cut him off at just the right time.
I am not a presidential candidate...
or a mayoral candidate.
I'm a candidate for the National Assembly...
representing Injung-dong in Inbuk 1,2,3.
That is why I'm here today.
- Thus... - Thus,
I do not believe my plans...
polarize the district or cause division.
In my opinion...
You're the bigger problem.
I think your plans...
- are more problematic. - Okay.
Why do you insist on low-income housing...
that most of the residents oppose?
- Raise your tone. - Why do you oppose...
a luxury apartment complex that is...
directly related to rises in property value?
Awesome. He memorized all of that.
Why are you remaining silent regarding...
the Sinbundang Line extension?
Throw the decisive punch.
I simply... Simply cannot under...
Stand.
What's wrong?
Why did you stop?
"I simply cannot understand."
"Han Sang Jin, in which district are you running?"
"Are you trying to get into the Blue House?"
That's the main point!
The thing is,
I don't understand why we're doing this...
I understand.
As I told you before,
I think there are flaws in our pledges.
That's why my ratings were so low.
I'll prevent the low-income housing...
and build a luxury apartment complex.
I'll give you a subway line.
If those worked,
I should've gotten more than 3.9 percent.
So?
You can't do it because you don't like the pledge.
Fine.
Let's drop it.
Forget the televised debate and everything.
No, that's not what I mean.
That is exactly what you mean.
Stop arguing about semantics.
Then do as I say, you jerk.
You're just a con artist who lies all the time.
How dare you give me lip?
Con artist. Con artist?
Assemblyman.
I'm not talking about telling the truth.
But if I keep lying...
and saying things they want to hear,
I think I'll lose.
You saw...
what happened because I kept lying to Mi Young.
You may think marriage and elections...
are completely unrelated,
but people are the same.
I don't think I should con people...
when my life depends on it.
When your life depends on it,
you shouldn't make mistakes.
You can lie, con,
and do whatever you want.
But once you make...
just one mistake,
your life is over.
Look at me.
I made one mistake,
and I'm here doing this with a con artist.
Con artist?
So, if you want to save your wife...
and save yourself,
forget your sense of judgment...
and follow mine instead.
You said you'd trust and follow me,
but you talk too much.
Chul Soo. Start over with that question.
Okay. I think...
I think these plans segregate neighborhoods...
and polarize the district.
What do you think?
"I disagree."
Say it.
"I disagree."
I said to say it. Now.
Say it now, you jerk!
I disagree.
Hello!
Candidate number five! Number five!
Smile a little.
Why do you look so upset?
Is it about earlier?
No.
Hello!
I'm number five, Yang Jung Gook.
Like they'd vote for you with a smile like that.
Hello! Candidate number five!
Yang Jung Gook!
Anyway, tomorrow morning...
Don't think about saying...
anything stupid during tomorrow's debate.
Read exactly what I put down.
Then you'll get 4 to 5 percent easily. Got it?
I got it.
You don't know this world.
Campaigns are about...
fooling people into buying your lies.
Who makes the biggest lie?
That's the core to winning an election.
So just trust me...
I trust you. I do.
Enough already. You're annoying me.
You keep giving me an attitude.
Why I ought to...
Hi, Mr. Min. How have you been?
You know, right? Candidate number five.
- What's your nickname? - The Brave Citizen.
He'll bravely make changes.
He's the Brave Citizen.
That jerk won't vote for you.
He's Kang Soo Il's follower.
I see. No wonder. He looked like a jerk.
Anyway, don't you think we're attacked...
Han Sang Jin too much during the debate?
What?
Do you feel bad...
because he's your wife's brother?
That's not it,
but he's a very good person.
He has good ideals too.
You like him, don't you?
Come on. What do you mean?
Hello! Number two, Han Sang Jin.
I mean, Yang Jung Gook. Number five.
I'm right. You like him.
You think he is an honest politician.
Don't do that.
Attack him.
- Right now? - Do it now.
Consider it practice for tomorrow.
You can't suddenly make me do that.
You do like him.
I do not.
Then why can't you do it?
You said you trust me. So attack him.
Hello, residents of Inbuk-2.
I'm candidate number five,
Yang Jung Gook.
Among the candidates is someone...
who wants to become President.
It is...
candidate number two, Han Sang Jin.
That's too weak.
Darn it.
To Han Sang Jin, this election...
is nothing but a stepping stone...
to bigger things.
Just look at his face.
Isn't it overflowing with ambition?
Hello, I'm number two, Han Sang Jin.
I'll do my best. Thank you!
Thank you. He's the young worker,
Han Sang Jin. Thank you.
Hello, I'm number two, Han Sang Jin.
I'll do my best.
- Thank you. - Han Sang Jin.
- Thank you. - Han Sang Jin...
is still getting an allowance...
although he's over 40.
Does that make sense?
Could there he be a worse son?
And this is something only I know.
Han Sang Jin sent 30 dollars as a gift...
to his own sister's wedding!
How could a decent person do that?
30 dollars for his sister is a bit much.
Goodness.
He is just as he looks.
I told you he's no good.
He looks sleazy.
- Why that little twerp. - Isn't that...
It's okay. It's funny.
Funny? Are you kidding me?
But did you really give her 30 dollars?
What? No, right? That's a lie, right?
Yes, it's a lie.
Good. Only a piece of garbage would send that.
Also, let me tell you...
something shocking about Han Sang Jin.
Stop it.
He gave his sister that 30 dollars...
as a wedding gift...
two years after she got married.
- Hey. - This is just despicable!
Do you plan to send...
someone like him to the National Assembly?
Han Sang Jin...
is by far the first person in history...
to be such a good man.
I'm sorry.
- Thanks. - Sure.
I was shocked when I heard you were running.
Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.
Don't be.
I couldn't call either.
I thought you'd feel bad if I did.
I should feel bad. Yes.
And about what I said earlier...
It's okay.
It was funny.
But about that 30 dollars...
Yes. Mi Young said you probably made...
a mistake. That's right.
Good. I'm glad we cleared up the misunderstanding.
- So let's not... - I won't bring it up.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Don't be. No need to be sorry.
Anyway, you're doing well lately, right?
Well, I'm trying hard,
but I'm not getting the results.
You know. 3.9 percent.
You must feel good.
You're only seven percent behind in the polls.
I'm sad since the gap got bigger from five percent.
You know his negative campaigns.
Yes, I do.
Why don't you...
do the same to him too?
I don't want to go that far.
I want to win right and lose right.
Then why don't you change your pledge?
Assemblyman Kim Joo Myung said...
campaigns are about fooling people...
into buying your lies.
A lie with soul.
I'll bring the Sinbundang Line into our town.
Stuff like that, right?
Yes. To be honest, I think...
we don't need a subway line in our town.
But this is a campaign.
Just look the other way and tell them...
you'll give them the subway line.
Then you'll get the votes and beat Kang Soo Il.
Jung Gook. What did you say...
to Mi Young when you got married?
Just that...
I'll make her happy.
Then you promised to make her happy.
- Sure. - You meant it, right?
Of course.
Are you still keeping that promise?
Well... I...
That's right.
It's hard to keep even promises you meant.
So how can you promise something you don't mean?
It's obvious you won't keep it.
When you run for office,
you don't do it for the votes.
You do it for the people.
You're so different...
from someone else I know.
Not. Assemblyman Kim is an incredible man.
He created some good policies too.
Anyway, hang in there.
I should go. I need to go and campaign some more.
Okay.
- One more thing. - Yes?
About Mi Young...
She seems to be having a hard time lately.
Look after her. She didn't look well.
She's my only sister after all.
Thanks.
Okay.
Good luck.
(Hubby)
Hey.
Were you sleeping?
No.
I'm still at work.
I see.
- Did you eat? - Of course. It's so late.
- And you? - I ate too.
How's work?
Not bad.
How's the campaign?
It's not bad for me too.
What are you doing tomorrow?
I have to go to a site for a case.
I see. A site.
I have a televised debate tomorrow.
I know.
I don't think I'll be able to watch it.
It's okay. Work comes first.
Don't you have...
something to say to me?
About what to do during the debate...
or things like that?
I don't know anything about politics.
Neither do I.
You may not know about politics,
but you can still tell me what to do.
Tell me. It's okay.
What do you want me to do tomorrow?
Just...
Do what you want.
You can't sleep at night...
if you're forced to do something you don't want.
Do what I want?
Okay, I'll try.
And Mi Young,
there's something I want to tell you.
I'll keep my promise to make sure...
you're not harmed.
So don't worry about anything that I do.
And...
I'm sorry...
for creating this situation.
I don't worry.
Worrying won't solve anything anyway.
You take care of it.
I won't worry about it.
Okay.
Bye.
Okay.
Good luck on your debate tomorrow.
Okay.
- Yang Jung Gook! - Yang Jung Gook!
Darn it.
- Move it. - No.
We refuse to move.
You can't stand here.
Get away.
(Bring the Sinbundang Line to Inbuk-dong)
What are you doing?
- Detective. - Yes?
- Are you nervous again? - How could I not be?
Don't say you need to pee when we get to the scene.
Just go as soon as we get there.
- Okay. - Hey.
Keep it down.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
He's coming.
Mr. Yang Jung Gook.
How do you feel about the debate?
I'll do my best.
Did you prepare a strategy?
We'll give a statement later.
(Assembly Candidates Debate)
The Assembly candidates debate...
will begin shortly.
Hey. What is that?
Why did you turn on a drama?
It's something I watch.
You can watch it later on demand!
Why should I watch later when it's on now?
Your life is more of a soap opera than that!
Why are you yelling at me while we're eating?
Be careful, daughter.
(Weolcheon Bathhouse)
- You know, right? - Yes.
Just go with the script.
Relax. Okay?
Let's do this.
- Hello, sir. - It's been so long.
- How have you been? - Good.
- Pack your gear. - Yes, ma'am.
Don't be nervous.
If you think the timing is right, push forward.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Low-income housing.
Luxury apartments.
A civil complaint against Kim Mi Young is set to go.
(Episode 16)
- Good luck. - Thank you.
I said not to be nervous. You look frozen stiff.
Hey. Just read exactly what I wrote.
Then Kang Soo Il and Han Sang Jin...
What did you do to Mi Young?
What civil complaint did you file...
related to Mi Young?
I confirmed Oh Sung Taek is inside.
There are some people in the sauna.
He's in the bath?
Yes.
Then we'll get him. You can't go in there.
Okay, go ahead.
I'll cut him off in case he runs.
Tell me right now.
What did you do to Mi Young?
Lower your voice, punk.
It's nothing.
It could've been serious, but I made it nothing.
So you focus on the debate.
What is it? Tell me now.
Let's go.
If something happens, act first, report later.
Act first, report later.
Got it.
I gave her a vacation...
until after the election.
Get over there.
- We're about to start. - Okay.
Hey. Park Hoo Ja said to do it. I had no choice.
Kim Joo Myung.
Go down. We're about to go on air.
Going in now.
- I'll go to the lockers. - I'll mark the back exit.
Is there a back door in the room?
Isn't it him in blue boxers?
Block the door and take your positions.
She wanted her suspended or terminated,
but I ended it by sending her on leave.
I took care of it so you just focus on this.
Excuse me!
If your wife locks up Hoo Ja,
everything is ruined.
- Hey, Jo Myung! - Shut it, you jerk!
Why that...
We need to time it right and go in together.
I know that, punk. Who will count?
I'll do it.
1, 2...
Hey. I think he saw us...
- Get him! - Darn it.
Stop right there! Freeze, you jerks!
Hey.
What's going on? Detective Lee.
Detective Goo? Hello?
Okay. It's about to start.
Just read exactly what I wrote down.
You need to get elected first.
That way you and your wife can live.
I listened to you and Hoo Ja for one reason.
He's getting out! Get him! The blue boxers! Get him!
It's Oh Sung Taek! Oh Sung Taek is leaving!
Who took the shot?
What's going on?
I had to win the election to protect Mi Young.
That's why I trusted you.
And that's why I held down my temper...
and tried to do as you told me to...
- today. - Okay.
But I can't trust you anymore.
I can't trust any of you.
Don't con people, you punk,
when your life depends on it.
Do what you want.
I'll do what I want...
based on what I believe.
Hey, hey. Jung Gook.
Hey...
Hey. Just a minute.
Hold on. Hey.
- Just a minute. - You need to go.
- Just a minute. - This way.
Report in.
- What's going... - He got through.
He's going toward you.
He's going downstairs!
20 seconds before we're live.
Candidates, please face forward.
Please keep in mind I may stop you...
if you make excessive negative comments...
about other candidates.
I look forward to your heated discussions...
and fair play attitudes.
Okay, then.
We will now begin...
the candidates debate...
for the by-election for the Assembly.
Let's begin.
(Assembly Candidates Debate)
Stop right there!
Don't you hear me?
Hey! You're as slow as a sloth!
Stop, you jerk!
Why you...
No!
Stop it.
Get up!
Was anyone hurt?
Let's go.
Move!
Move.
Go to the back.
That hurt.
First, we'll begin with Mr. Kang Soo Il.
Hello, my fellow citizens...
and my dear residents of Seowon.
I'm the candidate from the Minjin Party,
Kang Soo Il.
People ask me...
why I keep trying to do politics.
They ask why I want...
to do it again after failing four times.
Whenever people ask me that,
I say this.
"If it's for the happiness of the people of Seowon,"
"I can fail 10, no, 100."
"No, I can fail 1,000 times!"
- Are you worried? - Thank you,
Mr. Kang Soo Il.
Notwithstanding several failures,
he is willing to keep trying...
for the happiness of the people.
Next, Mr. Han Sang Jin.
Dear voters, whom I respect.
Hello.
I'm the Nationalist Party's candidate,
Han Sang Jin
During the spring of 2019,
there is a strong...
wind of change blowing in Seowon.
That wind is warm...
and happy.
- That wind... - Did you write that?
- is the wind of progress. - No, he did.
No wonder it's so good.
A politician with originality,
kindness,
and professionalism.
Please vote for me, Han Sung Jin.
Thank you.
- It's Jung Gook's turn. - Thank you.
Originality, kindness...
Did it start?
Jung Gook...
- It really is Young Hoon! - What's this?
- A drama again? - Dad.
The mothers just found out...
that they're siblings.
I need to watch this.
I told you over and over...
to watch dramas later on on-demand!
Why you...
Where is it?
Hey!
Okay. Finally,
Mr. Yang Jung Gook.
Hello, I'm candidate number five,
Yang Jung Gook.
I am not...
with any party.
That's it?
What? That's it?
Is that it?
No way.
Oh my gosh.
That's it.
Darn it!
Yes, that's it.
Okay, I understand.
We'll begin with questions for everyone.
I will pose four questions for all of you.
Please answer the questions posed.
Oh Sung Taek.
You know why you're here, right?
You killed a person.
Park Hoo Ja paid you to do it.
I did not.
Yes, you did.
You killed a person.
You have many priors.
So I don't need to explain, right?
Park Hoo Ja told you to kill Ma Sang Bum.
Confess to murder-for-hire,
and write down every crime related to Baekkyung.
Then we'll cut you a lot of slack.
You've been here often,
so I don't need to explain, right?
I can't tell you.
Plus, I know nothing.
Look at this punk.
Are you happy?
Does joy flow like a river, you punk?
Detective Lee.
Stop smiling, you jerk.
Hey, Oh Sung Taek.
If you go in now,
you'll be there for at least 20 years.
You may die in there.
Just kill me.
I have no regrets about leaving this darned world.
What are you chewing?
Are you eating something?
- He's biting his tongue. - No!
Open your mouth!
Open your mouth, you jerk! Open it!
Sung Hoon, the camera.
You jerk.
- Why you... - You punk.
Mr. Han Sang Jin, please tell us your position...
on the redevelopment of Injung-dong.
You have 90 seconds.
Okay.
Injung-dong can be called...
Seowon City's original city center.
Our mothers and fathers, after a long day's work,
used to drink rice wine and relax there.
It's a place filled with memories.
Thus, I do not agree with the other candidates...
regarding redeveloping it to build apartments...
in its place.
Jane Jacobs,
an American journalist and urbanist, said...
cities need old buildings.
She said without them,
it is impossible...
for vigorous streets...
and the earth to grow.
Jane Jacobs. This is awesome.
Sang Jin wrote this too,
I assume?
Yes, he did.
What did you do?
Are you picking your nose?
Stop picking your nose.
You'll get a nosebleed.
Okay.
Mr. Han Sang Jin says he'll revive...
Injung-dong to become the city center,
a center for the arts...
like Haebangchon in Seoul. Thank you for that.
Next, I'll ask Mr. Yang Jung Gook.
You pledged to redevelop Injung-dong,
the former city center,
to build a luxury apartment complex.
Please tell us your thoughts...
regarding this.
You have 90 seconds as well.
It was short-sighted.
Pardon? What was short-sighted?
I was short-sighted.
You were short-sighted. I see.
Reviving the city as Mr. Han says...
is too difficult for me.
Luxury apartments?
I was wrong about that.
I thought promising that...
would earn me votes, but you know, right?
I got 3.9 percent.
I thought it was 39 percent,
and my team and I celebrated,
but that punk Dong Il...
we had missed the decimal point. Jerk.
At 3.9 percent, my chance is nonexistent.
Thus, I plan to follow my heart.
My pledge was wrong.
I admit I made a mistake.
Injung-dong should not be redeveloped.
There are so many great restaurants there.
We cannot redevelop it.
No way.
Excuse me.
Take off the jacket. It's really expensive.
What if he gets killed for losing?
If he dies, so do we.
- Why? - We did it together.
We conned Chairman Park's with the bolivars...
That's right. We're dead too.
This is bad.
Why do you keep saying you're going to die?
I don't need to die with you, do I?
What's with him?
He's a moron but looks cool.
That's my son.
You raised him well.
I see.
That scumbag.
Mr. Yang, I understand what you're saying.
Well, so... Next up is...
Next up is...
He kept it short, so the next item is...
- Hi, Chairman Park. - Okay.
What's going on right now?
I just don't get it.
Is that your strategy or is he acting alone?
Of course, he's acting alone.
How could that be a strategy?
He found out...
that I filed a complaint against his wife.
Chairman Park.
I don't think I can control him anymore.
Even if low-income housing comes in,
the property value will go up if it was bound to.
In plenty of towns, low-income apartments...
rose in value to match nearby apartments.
If you're worried about property value dropping,
you don't need to worry.
I don't think he's someone I can control.
Jung Gook is a total maniac!
Look at this persistent punk.
He's still biting down.
You didn't bite your tongue to die, right?
Did you think you could claim insanity?
You're making my day so long.
Will you keep this up?
Then let's do this. I have no choice.
I'll let you go.
What?
I'll let you go and leak this rumor.
That you gave us everything on Park Hoo Ja,
and that's why we let you go.
Then what do you think she'll do to you?
Would she let you live?
No.
Exactly.
You shouldn't have made a cop have bad thoughts.
Let him go.
Go.
I let you go, so go.
Get out of here.
He'll come back, right?
He has to.
It's the only way for both of us can survive.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you everything.
About what...
Park Hoo Ja did.
Take him and get his statement.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Let's go.
I'm saying, let's not give vague answers,
let's be open and talk honestly.
To be blunt, how much longer must the people...
accept politicians' blank checks?
You issue blank checks during your campaigns,
but once you win, you change your tune...
like loan sharks.
I personally know a loan shark,
and she's is a very evil woman.
Mr. Oh was arrested.
- Speak. - Oh Sung Taek confessed.
And he gave admitted that Park Hoo Ja ordered him.
He also gave statements regarding other crimes.
I think there will be dozens once we dig deeper.
What should I do?
Should we strike now?
How many people can you lock up with what you got?
I'd say about 30.
All executives.
I'll call Violent Crimes.
Have them back you up,
and bring in all of those scumbags.
Yes, ma'am. Will do.
Two of you guard him.
You two, come with me.
We're getting Park Hoo Ja today.
Let me ask Mr. Han Sang Jin.
You were excused from military service...
and served instead in City Hall, correct?
Yes, that's true.
Why were you excused from military service?
I was in a serious car accident as a child.
- The back injury from... - Can you not walk then?
- Pardon? - Come now.
You hurt your back in a car accident...
and didn't go to the army. But you seem fine...
and can walk just fine and even went abroad to study.
Don't smile.
Do you know how long a flight is to Germany?
It takes 12 hours. 12 hours.
Half a day!
What I'm saying is,
either you're lying about going to college...
in Germany or lied about...
your back injury to avoid military service.
You think it's funny too, don't you?
You can't go to Germany with a bad back.
If you went to Germany, your back is fine.
Either your educational background...
or your military service is a complete lie.
Come now. Answer me.
Educational background. Military service.
Which is true and which is false? Tell me.
Don't smile, and tell me.
Tell me.
Would this work?
Voters aren't stupid.
This works. That's why I'm in first with 35 percent.
Elections in Korea are simple.
It's all about...
Your smear campaigning is unbearable.
- What? - You know,
all you do is say negative things about others.
Shall I give it a shot too?
I'm good at it.
You were excused from military service, right?
Preexcitation syndrome?
That got you excused? What is that?
Between the atrium and ventricles,
there is an abnormal pathway for...
abnormal neurological signals.
Thus, it causes premature contraction.
It is a deadly and debilitating disease.
I'm very sick. Watch what you say.
I'm not criticizing this disease.
I'm questioning whether you actually have it.
I can understand your two DUIs in 2017,
false resident registration,
and improper property investments.
They make sense.
Why you little... Don't make things up.
Have some shame!
And this is my time to ask questions.
Please calm down, both of you.
Mr. Yang, you will get your own time.
I'll use it now.
I just can't understand preexcitation syndrome.
If you look it up online, it says...
you can't do any harsh exercises.
But your hobbies...
are all sports. Every single one of them.
You even climbed to the top of Mount Jiri.
People helped me a lot.
They pushed and pulled,
and we all collectively...
I see.
That's what happened.
Okay.
Let me say just one thing to Mr. Kang.
If you play games...
with outrageous accusations again,
I won't sit idly by.
You know I have Assemblyman Kim Joo Myung,
who was going to run for the Assembly, in my camp.
Mr. Yang, please avoid statements like that.
Okay, fine.
Anyway, Assemblyman Kim has several boxes...
of dirt on you.
You ran against each other three times.
So you must know what's in them.
Has that punk lost his mind?
If you try to use smear campaigns again,
I'll share those with the world.
You'll get very hurt then.
Will you or will you not use smear campaigns?
Let's move on.
We're not moving on!
Will you or will you not use smear campaigns?
I said let's move on. Next!
Are you the mediator?
Will you or will you not use smear campaigns?
If you are going to, tell me now!
I'll share what's in those boxes now!
I won't do it!
I won't use smear campaigns!
So let's move on already!
Round them up!
You punks. Who are you?
What is this?
Okay.
They're on their way up.
Did you ever go to the reservoir...
when it rains?
It's a big mess there when it rains.
(Baekkyung Capital)
You're here.
Park Hoo Ja, you're under arrest for...
Just a minute.
Let me finish watching that.
It stinks,
it's filled with insects.
Who would go for walks there?
That's ridiculous.
I think...
fixing up Inbuk Reservoir...
and creating a combined cultural complex...
as Mr. Han promises...
is a great idea.
Next, we'll hear Mr. Kang's position...
regarding the extension...
- of the Sinbundang Line. - Okay.
Please begin.
My dear Seowon residents.
When I heard the Sinbundang Line...
would not be coming to Seowon,
but to Inseo-dong instead,
I was absolutely heartbroken.
I'm sure...
all of you feel the same way I do.
Thus,
from the moment I am elected,
I will do everything within my power...
to fight against that decision.
Hunger strike! Shaving my head!
I'm not afraid of anything.
I will protest.
Let's unite!
Let's protest!
Thank you.
Mr. Han.
What do you think about Mr. Kang's pledge?
Well, so...
I believe the decision to extend...
the Sinbundang Line into Inseo-dong...
was based on feasibility studies conducted by...
the Ministry of Economy and Finance...
Seowon wasn't selected first and lost it...
to Inseo-dong.
Our district was rejected, but Inseo-dong passed.
That is what happened,
in case you didn't know.
What do you mean?
Why don't we need a subway line?
I told you.
Inseo-dong needs a subway more than our district.
Are you running in Inseo? .
Snap out of it.
You're running in Inbuk 1,2,3, Injung-dong.
Why are you worried about Inseo residents?
Do you even want to get elected?
Are you still keeping that promise?
Well... I...
That's right.
It's hard to keep even promises you meant.
So how can you promise something you don't mean?
It's obvious you won't keep it.
When you run for office,
you don't do it for the votes.
You do it for the people.
I will make sure...
the Sinbundang Line comes to our district.
That's right. I promise.
If I can't,
I'll take it from them.
I am in the Nationalist Party...
along with Seowon's Mayor Chun Gap Soo.
Only I can make it happen.
I promise...
to bring you...
the Sinbundang Line.
Let's go.
Park Hoo Ja.
Give me your hands.
Is this necessary?
My employees are downstairs.
So are mine.
Hands.
You'll regret it.
I promise you will.
Stop talking and give me your hands.
Hands!
We caught you.
I let you catch me.
Why don't you get that?
(My Fellow Citizens)
- You said that to me... - I don't remember.
Why did you suddenly change your tune?
I don't remember.
That's what you said!
- I did not. - Sang Jin!
Mr. Yang!
I don't do anything that doesn't make money.
Why are you here?
What do you mean?
Why is Ma Sang Bum alive?
Let go of me!
Exactly five minutes from now,
the second pre-election poll results will be out.
If your rating drop by more than one percent...
Off with your head.
I told you, didn't I?
That if you plan to mess with me,
to put your life on the line first.
