All language subtitles for The great show E11

(All characters, organizations,
places, entities, and events...)

(in this drama are fictional.)

It's nice to meet you.

(Lee Kang Hun)

I'm Lee Kang Hun with Woods Utong.

If a shopping mall comes in there,
all the stores in the area will...

I know.

I'm sure the market will take a huge hit.

Hey. But do you think I'd just
sit back and let that happen?

You know that plot is incredibly valuable.

We need something to move
in as soon as possible.

Mr. Lee is working hard for us.

Inju needs a shopping complex.

Mr. Lee. This man right here
is the son of Inju Market.

He'll persuade the merchants there,

- so you don't need to worry.
- Okay.

Okay. In light of that, how about a toast?

Sure.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

Okay. Here's to our party's victory!

Cheers!

(Lee Kang Hun)

I misjudged him.

We're still voting for the advisor
the day after tomorrow, right?

What's the point? The result is obvious.

Still, we said we'd vote, so we should.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I thought you would've misunderstood
what happened on the show today,

so I wanted to explain.

No, we didn't misunderstand. We understood.

We realized for sure...

that you're not on our side.

Sir. The point I was trying
to make on the show...

was that we shouldn't take sides
with the mall or the market...

I don't feel like drinking anymore.

I'm going to go home now.

- Wait.
- Don't go.

Mr. Jung.

What is this?

What's going on here?

Woods has been after that
plot of land for a while now.

I wanted to stop it,

which was why I rushed the vote
for the low-income apartments.

Then?

But the residents voted against it,

so I have no grounds for stopping the mall.

But you told me...

you'd stop the mall somehow,

and to focus on being voted their advisor.

I said it for you.

For you.

Otherwise, you wouldn't
have attacked Joon Ho on TV.

Still, you should've been honest with me.

It's like I lied to the
entire nation on live TV!

Hey. How can you do politics without lying?

Don't you want to get a nomination?

Why you...

Why are you talking
about the nomination now?

Why do you think Mr. Baek
is so nice to Mr. Lee?

Mr. Baek is Mr. Lee's uncle.

Uncle.

What?

Darn it.

Become the advisor and work the merchants.

Tell them that realistically,
it'll be hard to stop the mall,

and their best option is to
receive the compensation.

That's the fact anyway.

Are you telling me to be your spy?

Hey, why is that a spy?

You'd be mediating.

This is insane.

Dae Han. Don't look elsewhere.

Focus on getting there.

If this matter is resolved well,

you and I will have solid
connections for life.

(Episode 11: Compensation)

Where are you right now?

Internet cafe.

Do you know what time it is?

You don't have money to hang out
at an internet cafe. Get home now!

Forget it. Worry about yourself.

Why you...

Yes! You get a noogie.

Don't get mad. You'll scare the baby.

You're right. Sorry.

How did my dad seem?

He was cold.

I'm sure he was more so because
he's the union chairman.

Were you disappointed in me as well?

Of course not.

You knew it would hurt your
chances of becoming their advisor,

but you didn't compromise your conviction.
I respect that.

I'm glad.

But this is my official position
as the writer of "Debate".

As a market merchant's daughter,

I can't agree with your conviction.

Why is that?

Would you like to take a walk with me?

It took us exactly 13
minutes and 35 seconds...

to walk here from Inju Market.

It really is close.

If Woods Mall opens here,

where would you spend your money?

No policy can please everyone.

Isn't the best option to
minimize the negative results?

But those "negative results"...

determine the survival of the merchants.

And my parents are among them.

It really is hard.

It couldn't have been easy
blatantly taking our side...

on TV like that.

The son of Inju Market is
different for a reason.

Did you just realize that?

- Drink up.
- Thank you.

Father, you were awesome today.

This is from our madam.

My gosh. You didn't have to.

Thank you.

- Sure.
- Eat up.

It looks delicious.

It's a bribe. A bribe.

To please stop the mall from being built.

What's wrong? Do you not like it?

What? No, I...

I don't feel too well.

What? The son of
Inju Market can't get sick.

I feel a lot better.

Oh no.

Anyway, so...

- after debating on the topic...
- Yes?

I see that Joon Ho does have a point.

What do you mean?

I feel like just keeping the mall out...

may not be the best...

What utter nonsense is that?

If we don't keep them out, then what?

Are you telling all the
merchants to drop dead?

No. Come on. Father, you're so extreme.

Listen. What I mean is...

If...

Don't get me wrong. If by chance...

If by chance it comes in,

maybe we should come up with a plan B...

Don't give me that plan B nonsense.

As long as I'm the union chairman,

I will never let that
move in near out market.

Just watch me.

What?

What will you do?

What else? I'll set myself
on fire if necessary.

What? But...

Why is it so hard to get solid connections?

Are you just getting back?
What took you so long?

Well... I had to do something.

I'm going in.

Okay.

It's so hard.

Sorry? What is?

The show. I'm worried
about the viewer ratings.

Welcome home.

Hey. You're still home.

Why aren't you sleeping? You must be tired.

Well, Tak...

What? What about Tak?

Never mind.

What is that?

This?

I found it between the books
while cleaning the study.

Do you remember what you
said when I gave this to you?

What did I say?

I will treasure this.

I will look at this every
time I have a hard day.

It will remind me to be a politician
that can protect my people.

The People's Armor, Wi Dae Han. Good luck.

(Assemblyman Baek Soo Chang)

(Divided Times, Unified Politics)

(Divided Times, Unified Politics)

So...

Division isn't necessarily bad.

Why do you think Mr. Baek is having
his publication party on a weekday?

Why?

He wants to see which
punks are loyal to him.

If you fall out of his favor,
you'll be ostracized forever.

Hey. Let's take the easy path, okay?
The easy path.

There is a division
between enmity and hatred.

I tested out the merchants last night,

and there's no way.

They'll really set themselves
on fire if the mall comes in.

That's why you need to work them.

It's not that easy.

You can just move the mall.

(Divided Times, Unified Politics)

(Divided Times, Unified Politics)

Just move the...

So...

Get it together, kid.

That's how serious this is.
I've completely lost it.

Woods says that's the optimal spot.

What can I do?

This is insane.

Freedom and equality are...

There's Mr. Lee Kang Hun.

I'll convince him.

Don't do it. Don't.

Mr. Lee.

- Hello.
- Oh my.

It's nice seeing you again.

Hello, Assemblyman Wi.

It's doubly nice seeing
you two days in a row.

It is.

Well... I feel a closeness with you.

I feel like we've been blood
brothers for over a decade.

Then you two should be blood
brothers from today on.

Shall we, sir?

Don't be so formal.
I'm your younger brother.

Actually, I wanted to talk
to you about something.

This isn't the place. Do it later.

- Later.
- No, no.

My little brother wants to tell me
something. Who cares where we are?

Go ahead.

Thank you.

(Divided Times, Unified Politics)

I know you're busy,
so I'll get right to the point.

Well... About the shopping
complex you want to build in Inju.

I was wondering if you'd consider
moving it to another spot.

Why?

I asked a few Feng Shui
experts who specialize in land,

and they said the plot where
the prison used to be...

is terrible for a shopping mall.

So bad, that it may go
under as soon as it opens.

I was worried about you, so...

Well, that too, but...

it's also a little too
close to Inju Market.

Since their livelihood is at stake,
the merchants will oppose fiercely.

My little brother is good at politics,

but not business, it seems.

We ran countless analyses
before making that decision.

Trying to flip that...

would threaten our livelihood.

Okay, then.

Wait, sir.

If you'd give me some time,
I'll look into this more...

Are only the merchants in the market...

the people of this land in your eyes?

(Please don't let him die.)

(I really think he's awake.)

Hey, I'm not done reading yet.

Come on, are you studying this?

Come on, keep up the pace.

Anyway, this is really fun.

Exactly.

Da Jung, I think this could go
viral if you post it online.

What are you guys doing?

You have a good eye for comics.

- You should post this!
- Look at them.

- You did a great job!
- They are like her servants.

Hey. Han Da Jung is now the popular one.

Are you just going to watch this?

No need to turn green with envy.

If it bothers you so much,
draw your own comics.

Look who is here.

- Assemblyman Joo.
- Oh my!

Assemblyman Joo. It has been a while.

You are right!
It has been more than three years.

I haven't seen you since
you lost the election.

You two know him, right?
He is the National Dad, Wi Dae Han.

Of course.

You look more handsome in person.

Why, thank you.

Let's just say the screen
doesn't do me justice.

I am just joking.

You are still so silly.

I heard you were arrested
after getting into a fistfight.

You know, I just can't let injustice slide.

Right, you had a bad temper.

When he was an assemblyman,
he was so reckless.

I am surprised.

And I thought new proportional
representatives always struggle.

I know, right? Even reelected
politicians like me still struggle.

You must be either bold or immature.

Now it's time for photos.

Members of the Progressive
Party, please come to the stage.

Let's go.

Hello!

Why are you coming up?

I beg your pardon?

Do you still think you are an assemblyman?

- Congratulations, sir!
- Why, hello.

Assemblyman Joo.

How are you?

Please come up.

Look at Joo Kwang Chun.

Despite his horrible track
record in legislative activities,

he was reelected...

thanks to Assemblyman Baek's support.

- We will now take a picture.
- Sure.

Giving power to the powerless?

- Assemblyman Baek, we love you!
- 1, 2, 3!

That's only possible when
you first have power.

- Let's make a heart.
- For Baek Soo Chang!

- For Assemblyman Baek!
- 1, 2, 3!

How can you not even give
your father a call...

after I get elected as the Party Leader?

There are a lot of other
people to congratulate you.

I saw how you were crushed
by Wi Dae Han yesterday.

It's how things work around here.

Even at the slightest hint of weakness,

they will come in and tear you into pieces.

If you respond to your
opponent's trick with a trick,

the game of go is no longer fair.

Trick or not,

you lost to Wi Dae Han
in this Advisor election.

We still have many days until the election.

You are still too naive.

Are you still firm on
running as an independent?

Yes.

Fine. Then as of today,

remove yourself from the
list of party members.

Come in.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all. Have a seat.

- If you'll talk about marriage...
- How can I marry someone...

who is not interested in me?

I came today...

to talk about the election
with the Party Leader.

The election?

Assemblyman Kang made a proposal.

He asked me if I am interested
in running for the election...

at Jungang-gu of Inju City as
the Nationalist Party candidate.

What are you thinking?

The party needs to change too.

To do that, we would need
many young female talents.

You said you will think about it.
Have you made up your mind?

Yes, sir. I know I still
have a long way to go,

but I will do my best for the party.

Are you serious about the election?

Of course, I am.

Why all of a sudden?

At this point, my career has no future,

and my love life isn't
working out very well either.

And your father offered the
opportunity right on time,

so I decided to try something new too.

I'll see you at the show.

Hello?

Your face looks fine.

What about my face?

You were knocked out by
Wi Dae Han last night.

I imagined you would have
bruises on your face.

If you are just going to continue
with the nonsense, I'll leave.

You'll regret if you leave now.

You should get revenge on Wi Dae
Han, don't you think?

What do you mean?

I heard there's a lot of noise
in Assemblyman Kang's district...

due to Woods Utong's construction
of the shopping mall.

I guess being a reporter allows
you to get the news faster.

So?

The leader of that Woods
Shopping Mall Project...

is Junior Managing Director
Lee Kang Hun of Woods Utong.

And that guy...

is the nephew of the
Progressive Party's leader,

Baek Soo Chang.

Mr. Lee, Assemblyman Baek, and Mayor Jung.

What do you think? Do you see the picture?

I thought it was strange
how Mayor Jung rushed...

the vote on the low-income
apartment project.

Well, that much is the information
that anyone can find out.

What I am about to say
next is the important part.

I was at Assemblyman Baek's
publication party today.

- It's nice seeing you again.
- It's nice to see you.

It's doubly nice seeing
you two days in a row.

It is.

I saw a friendly conversation...

between Mr. Lee of Woods
Utong and Wi Dae Han.

Reporter Nam just called.

He told everything to
Mr. Kang as instructed.

Responding to your opponent's
trick with a trick...

will make the game of go no longer fair?

This game is already unfair, to begin with.

Of course, the market
merchants will be against it.

But 9 out of 10 of the district people...

will welcome Woods Shopping
Mall with open arms.

I know what Inju Market means to you.

Assemblyman,

why don't we just turn a
blind eye just this once?

We came this far.

We are almost there.
We can't just stop now.

Of course, we can't stop now.

So you will persuade the merchants, right?

I will.

What is politics, anyway?

It's an art of mitigating
the conflict, right?

Got it?

(Baek Soo Chang, Lee Kang
Hun, Jung Han Soo)

(Woods Utong Lee Kang Hun)

(Mayor Jung Han Soo)

(Old prison estate,

(Conducted the resident vote
to speed up the project)

(Residents vote against the project)

(Secure justification to
construct the Woods Shopping Mall)

(Elects Wi Dae Han as the Advisor
to appease the merchants' anger)

How did Mayor Jung know that the
residents will vote against it?

Isn't Mr. Kang acting a bit suspicious?

What do you mean?

His attempt to run for
the Advisor position...

seems to hint his intent to
get into politics himself.

Well, we don't know that.

But we should be prepared.

Prepared for what?

We know that Mr. Wi will
run for the election,

and Mr. Kang might too.

Then both of our panelists
will be dropping out at once.

You're right.

Where can we get new panelists?

What if our show gets
canceled because of this?

- Oh my gosh.
- I hear Woods Mall is moving in.

That's the rumor, but we don't know yet.

What? My friend at a securities
company says it's a done deal.

You should've told me right away
if there was a rumor like that.

Why?

Had I known,
I would've bought an apartment there.

If Woods Mall moves in,
property values will skyrocket.

You are so talented, Mr. Koo.

What do you mean?

At making people lose their tempers.

You're right. That is a talent.

What did I do?

Darn it.

We finally have it.

I will now...

announce the results of the vote...

for the new advisor for the
Inju Market Merchant Union.

First candidate, Kang Joon Ho.

32 votes.

Next candidate, Wi Dae Han.

85 votes.

(Vitalize Traditional Markets
Inju Market Merchant Union)

- Nice!
- Dae Han!

I knew it.

Thus, Wi Dae Han...

has been elected as the new advisor
of the Market Merchant Union.

- Wi Dae Han!
- Wi Dae Han!

I may not have been elected,

but I will do the best I can...

to help the progress of Inju Market.

- Thank you.
- He's a good man.

Okay, next up. The man of the hour.

The son of Inju Market and...

soon-to-be grandfather.

We will hear Wi Dae
Han's acceptance speech.

Applause.

- Wi Dae Han!
- Wi Dae Han!

Thank you from the bottom
of my heart for choosing me,

as inadequate as I am,
for such an important role.

I know why you chose me...

to be your advisor.

That is why I speak to
you with a heavy heart.

With the rumor that a shopping mall
is being built on the prison lot,

it must have caused you much concern.

Based on what I heard today,

that rumor...

is true.

- What?
- What is he saying?

Who? Who told you that?

- What is he saying?
- I told you.

What do we do now?

Oh my goodness.

What are you doing? What's wrong?

Why are you getting on your knees?

You picked me to stop
Woods Mall from coming in.

That's true,
but why are you getting on your knees?

But...

I don't think I can stop it. I'm sorry.

- What?
- What is he saying?

Oh my gosh.

What do we do?

What now?

It's moving in?

Look at you go. Does it taste good?

Anyway, where's Tak?

I haven't seen him around lately.

Tak always comes home super late.

- He does?
- I don't know what he's up to.

I'm worried that he's getting
worse after our dad left.

Dae Han should look after him more.

He'll become busier once he
becomes the advisor, right?

Probably. I think so.

An advisor is someone
who gives advice, right?

You're so smart, Song Yi.

How did you know?

(Inju Market)

(Vitalize Traditional Markets
Inju Market Merchant Union)

As you know,

Everywhere within a 1km radius
of a traditional market...

may only be occupied by
traditional shops by law.

A large shopping mall like
Woods Mall cannot come in.

- That's right.
- Yes.

However, as you see here,

only about 10 percent of the lot...

is within 1km of Inju Market.

Doesn't that mean legally,

Woods Mall can't come in there?

That's correct.

However, if Woods forfeits this 10 percent,

they can build the mall...

without your consent.

- What?
- What does that mean?

That's ridiculous.

That's not right.

Wait. So what should we do?

We can't sit back and do nothing.

Of course not.

Well, so I've been thinking it over,

and I'm sure...

Woods would want to utilize
the entire plot of land...

to build Woods Mall.

In exchange for our consenting
to their use of this 10 percent,

how about we get as much
compensation as we can?

What is he saying?

- Ask for money?
- What is he saying?

- That's ridiculous.
- No way.

Why are you talking about
compensation without even fighting?

Look at what happened to other markets.

They protested and did everything
they could, but the mall was built.

Don't you know how close that lot is?

Why should we go under just
because other markets did?

We're going to lose anyway.
Let's get as much money as we can!

How much do you think we can get from them?

I can't say for sure
how much we can get yet,

but I'll try to get the most...

However much they pay us, I'm against it.

This place is our nest
and like our children.

What parent would sell
their child for a few bucks?

I can't do that.

- What are you talking about?
- Who would do that?

(Inju Market Merchant Union)

Dae Han!

Did you really find out today...

that Woods Mall was confirmed to move in?

What? Do you think I'm lying or something?

Who knows?

Sir.

I know how you feel. Of course, I do.

But you need to be rational
in times like these.

Is getting a few bucks what
you call being rational?

That's why I'm saying I'll
get as much money as I can.

Once Woods Mall moves in,

many stores will go out of business,

and the local business
owners will take a big hit.

How far do you think that
compensation will stretch?

If you keep refusing to
accept it and resist,

they could forfeit that 10 percent
and go ahead with the construction.

Then you may not get a penny.

Forget it. I can't trust Woods, Mayor Jung,

or even you anymore.

You do your job as the advisor.

I'll do everything I can.

Sir!

Darn it.

Is that true?

Yes. I... I only found out today myself.

How's my dad? What did he say?

He's flipping out, naturally.

Is there no option other
than taking compensation?

If there were,
I wouldn't be this frustrated.

Soo Hyun.

Please persuade your father.

I'm so worried that he'll
do something drastic.

Like what?

From how he sounded,

he may really set himself on
fire in front of Woods' building.

Fine. I'll persuade him somehow.

You look after Tak.

Tak?

Are you gaming?

Let's chat.

I have nothing to say.

I do.

What? Say it and get out.

Fine. Well, I hear you've been
coming home late recently.

I was wondering if anything's the matter.

What's it to you? Who do you think you are?

What, punk? Watch your mouth.

Puberty doesn't give you free rein.

Enough already.

Stop acting like you're my old man.

Tak.

Darn it.

Mr. Wi, are you impersonating a gorilla?
I'm good at it.

Mr. Wi, relax.

Gosh. I should relax, shouldn't I?

Yes, that's right.

Compensation? Give me a break.

Then what are you going to do?

What do you mean, what am I going to do?

I will do everything in my power
to prevent that from happening.

Dad, please!

I am Chairman of the Merchant Union.

What's the role of the chairman?

It is to protect the market!

Starting tomorrow, I will be doing
a one-man protest at Woods' office.

You have high blood pressure!
You could really collapse!

It will take a toll on your health!

Even so, what must be done must be done.

Why are you doing this too, Mom?

If not us, who is going
to protect our livelihood?

Correct!

I beg you, please control your temper.

And easy on the drinking too.

But I didn't drink much.

- You go in first.
- Stay here for a minute.

I didn't drink much.

- How can I help you?
- One hangover drink, please.

Please wait.

No matter what, I will protect Inju Market.

No matter what!

I will make sure it doesn't end up
like what happened with Ji Hyun.

Woods Utong, those pieces of trash.

They were trying to cover up
what happened to Ji Hyun...

with just a small sum of money.

They are repeating this nonsense again!

I won't let that happen again.
I just won't.

I won't.

Soo Hyun tried really hard,
but the boss is being stubborn.

He is even going on a
one-man protest tomorrow.

Mr. Jung, you are driving me crazy.

A one-man protest is not
going to fix this problem.

(Assemblyman Baek Soo Chang)

Hello, sir! This is Wi Dae Han.

I heard you were elected as
the Advisor of Inju Market.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

I can't believe you would
reach out to me for that.

I am very touched, sir.

It's nothing.

Please take good care
of Woods Shopping Mall.

Companies are going through
rough times these days.

Of course. No need to worry, sir.

I am the son of Inju Market.

Yes, sir. I will do my best.

(Woods Shopping Mall will
destroy Inju Market!)

(Protect the livelihood
of small businesses!)

Good morning. I am Wi Dae Han,
the Advisor of Inju Market.

Now that you are the Advisor,
do something about this.

I heard Woods Shopping
Mall is going to be built.

Who will come here to shop if a
big mall is around the corner?

Exactly. It's not easy.

I met with the Mayor,

to look into any legal actions we can take.

But there is nothing we can do.

Still, we can't just
sit here and do nothing.

That's why we should aim for
as much compensation as we can!

If we miss our opportunity,
that might not even be an option.

The compensation isn't
enough to help anyone.

Sir, is this going to take a while?
I have my car parked over there.

It's almost done, sir.

- I am going to get a ticket.
- Sorry, sorry.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Sir. You see that?

The food here is good,
fresh and even cheap!

Why would people go to that
mall instead of coming here?

That's obvious.

The shopping mall would have
a lot of things to see and do.

They have great parking too.

It's really convenient
to shop with their cars.

Exactly! That's what I am talking about!

We will get as much compensation as we can,

build a very big garage next to the market,

and build a roof over the entire market!

Once we remodel the entire place...

to be suitable for shopping,

we do have the competitiveness!

I am not sure about that.

Anyhow, I trust you.

If you say compensation is our best option,

what choice do I have?
I will have to follow.

But the Chairman has
been weighing on my mind.

He is doing a one-man protest
in front of Woods Utong.

I know it's hard for you,
but you should persuade him.

(Woods Mall that destroys small
businesses must be stopped!)

Mr. Jung.

You should stop now and head home.

Otherwise, you will really collapse!

I told you.

You do what you can.

I'll do what I can.

I am the Advisor of Inju Market.

It's also my job to stop
you from acting like this.

That's why...

Mr. Jung.

(Absolutely Opposed)

(Woods Utong)

(The responsible party must pay!
Hunger strike day 19)

(Bring back my daughter Ji Hyun,
who died a wrongful death!)

(Woods Utong must reveal the
truth on the elevator accident!)

Continuing this will only be hard for you.

Take the compensation
and let's end it here.

My daughter Ji Hyun didn't fall.

She died because the elevator collapsed.

If that's the case, the least you can do...

is to reveal the cause so
that this never happens again,

and punish those who are accountable!

Like I said, we are doing
the best we can on our end.

That's enough. Let's go.

Are you putting up with this
charade to get more compensation?

Please wait!

- Mr. Jung.
- Please wait! Please!

Please wait.

I am the chairman of the
Inju Market Merchant Union.

Can we talk?

If you want to talk,
you need to take the appropriate steps.

I am doing this because
that is not possible!

- Mr. Jung, that's enough.
- Just a few minutes.

I will set up a meeting.

I am just trying to talk.
Why are you stopping me?

Excuse me! Can we talk for a moment?

- Excuse me!
- Mr. Jung!

I said we need to talk!

If Woods Shopping Mall is built,
it's the end for the merchants!

- It's dangerous. Let's step aside.
- Let me go!

Pull the car back.

Oh, dear.

- Excuse me!
- Mr. Jung!

You work in that old market because
you're such a simple-minded person.

I am fine. You should leave.

Don't interrupt my protest.

Just let him continue with the protest.

Why?

He is not going to change
the majority's opinion.

A person who expresses
his anger like that...

would make us look good from the outside.

Why is Woods Utong insisting
on the old prison estate?

It's near the highway,

so they can save on the logistics cost.

And even though it's at a prime location,

the price is cheap because
it's national land.

There is no better place in Inju City...

for Woods Shopping Mall.

It's all about the money.

The important thing is to bring
them to the negotiation table.

Don't worry about that.

I already persuaded them to
aim for maximum compensation.

Good.

(Woods Shopping Mall will
destroy Inju Market!)

Soo Hyun! Why are you here?

Why? I am here to take your place.

Take my place? No way. Just go home.

You must be tired from working all day.

How can sitting all day in an
air-conditioned room be tiring?

What about you?

I am a strong man by nature.

Yes, Mom.

Okay.

- She wants to talk to you.
- Why?

- Just pick it up.
- Goodness.

Hello? Is there anything you want to say?

Don't say anything else and
switch places with Soo Hyun!

We need to fry the chicken!

Get over here now!

She says to come fry chicken.

Go and fry chicken. Hurry.

Okay.

Let's try what we practiced earlier.
Okay. Cue.

I want to play at the
kids' cafe at Woods Mall.

Okay, good. Song Yi.

Me too. I want to play in the mall
during the day when it's hot out...

and at the market at night.

That's right. Good job. Just like that.

Okay, let's go. Okay.

What? Soo Hyun took over
and is protesting there now?

Yes. Mr. Jung is on his way here.

(Woods Mall that destroys small
businesses must be stopped!)

What's this? Are you here to relieve me?

No. I came to remove you.

I told you to persuade
him, not be persuaded.

I thought it over, and he's right.

We shouldn't give up without
even putting up a fight.

Aren't you going to work tomorrow?

A writer should write.

Are you going to put me out of work?

I'm doing this so the merchants
don't end up out of work.

Soo Hyun.

I understand you're worried about
your father and the merchants.

Will your doing this change anything?

It's like trying to
break a rock with an egg.

You said that in college.

What?

If an egg collides with a rock and
breaks, people will look.

And if a lot of people look and
show an interest, you gain power.

You need people to look
in order to gain power.

Look around. Is anyone looking?

You're looking.

If I keep it up, more people will look.

I'm sure they'll look. For a moment.

And then they'll look away immediately.

Soo Hyun. Stop and go home.

You go home.
Don't make it even harder than it is.

Fine.

It's true that you and I...

have changed a lot.

Yes.

Four million dollars in compensation.

That's a sure thing, right?

I told you.
I already settled it with Mr. Lee.

If we're going to build a
garage for the market...

and remodel the place,

we need at least that much. Okay?

I said okay.

If we can't give the merchants that much,

you and I are total scumbags.
You know that, right?

You sound drunk.
Stop drinking, and go home.

Okay.

I trust you, Han Soo.

How do you think Mayor Jung was so sure?

About what?

That the low-income apartments...

would be voted against.

He could've run discreet
surveys and found out.

Let's chat again later.

Did you drink?

Yes.

I'm in a bad mood today,

so leave quietly.

I don't know why you became the advisor,

but since you were chosen, do it right.

Joon Ho.

You think you're all that, don't you?

But you're nothing without your daddy.
Know that?

What do you mean?

Hey. What have you accomplished
without Daddy's help?

What?

You were born with a silver spoon
in your mouth and never suffered.

You're drunk. Go home.

No. I'm going to let
it out while I'm at it.

I said to stop.

Your moving here...

looks like you ran away
from home so you can date.

Drunken habits...

aren't cute at our age.

You're going to run as an independent?

That's great for me. Thank you!

It'll be a piece of cake to take you
down if your daddy doesn't back you.

Gosh. But do you really think
your daddy will let you do that?

You'd be like a baby
left alone by the water.

Kang Joon Ho, the baby. Baby.

Did that sober you up?

Hey.

Kang Joon Ho is beating people up.

Good.

You need to have guts if
you're going to fight me.

However, remember this.

What you just did...

This.

I'll get you back during the elections.

Okay?

Okay. Bye.

Let's go back.

Aren't you going to
Mr. Kang Joon Ho's home?

What for?

Dae Han did what I was going to do for me.

Fine.

Just look forward.

What will happen if we refuse to consent?

Well, that would put
Woods in a pickle as well.

The city will try to make adjustments.

Anyway,

can we really get four million dollars?

Of course. You can trust me.

(Woods Mall that destroys small
businesses must be stopped!)

He's there alone again today.

This way.

Hello.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

I was asked to come as their attorney.

It would be nice if we had a lawyer there.

- That's okay, right?
- Of course.

Anyway, do your best for us.

We need the negotiations to go well...

at least for the chairman,
who's out there alone.

Let's go.

(Woods Utong)

Okay, then.

We will begin the meeting between
Woods Utong and Inju Market.

We'll begin with a few words
from the mayor of Inju.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

I do not believe traditional markets...

and shopping malls are enemies.

If we come with open minds
and find a middle ground,

we can find a way to benefit both.
I'm sure of it.

First, let's hear what
the market has to say.

Okay.

We faced fierce opposition
from the merchants...

and countless difficulties...

to get here today.

Even now,

the merchant union chairman is
conducting a one-man protest.

Yes, we are well aware.

I'd like...

to thank all of you for
opening your heart to us.

If Woods Mall is built on the prison lot,

it will inevitably cause us a huge loss.

We'd like to receive sufficient
compensation for that.

Yes, of course, you should.

Bring it to them.

(Agreement)

- You read it for me.
- Yes, sir.

(The compensation agreement is as follows.)

(Payment: 200,000 dollars)

(Payment: 200,000 dollars)

What is this?

Is the compensation payment
listed here correct?

I'm sure you're not satisfied with it,

but that's the most we can offer.

Are you kidding me right now?

What do you mean, 200,000 dollars?

- What?
- What? 200,000 dollars?

200,000 dollars?

Mayor.

This isn't nearly enough
even for the garage.

This is ridiculous.

Listen.

Please calm down.
Let's discuss this calmly.

You can't get everything
you want from the get-go.

You lied to us from the start!

But what? You want to discuss it?

This is wrong. We can't let this happen.

You pieces of scum!

There's no point listening to them!

Mayor, I guess you're
here to take their side.

You're mistaken.

You know...

how hard I worked to get
low-income apartments built...

on that prison lot.

Please.

Sit back down,
and let's continue the meeting.

- This is ridiculous.
- Let's listen.

That was just a ploy to
create an excuse to silence...

the opposition to Woods Mall.

- Am I wrong?
- What do you mean?

I believe the uncle of Mr. Lee before us...

is Assemblyman Baek Soo Chang,
the Progressive Party leader.

And you are a member of
the Progressive Party.

So?

That's what made me have
this reasonable suspicion.

That perhaps Mr. Lee
and you joined hands...

and proceeded with plans
for Woods Mall in secret,

and in order to silence the
opposition of the merchants...

of Inju Market, which is practically
adjacent to the lot for the mall,

you...

sent someone to be close to the merchants.

Mr. Kang, you know you're
breaking a law right now...

by spreading lies and making
defamatory statements.

You should provide evidence
if you want to say...

such ridiculous things.

Sadly, I have only conviction
and no physical evidence.

However,

a confession carries
sufficient evidentiary weight.

Assemblyman Wi,
you stated that you were told...

Woods Mall was confirmed the
day of the advisor election.

Did you really find out today...

that Woods Mall was confirmed to move in?

What? Do you think I'm lying or something?

However, on the day before
the advisor election,

at the Progressive Party's
Mr. Baek's publication party,

someone witnessed you and
Mr. Lee of Woods Utong...

having a very animated conversation.

I was...

there as a member of the Progressive Party.

I see.

According to a tip,

Mr. Lee, Mayor Jung, Mr. Baek,
and you had a very cozy dinner...

prior to this negotiation meeting.

How will you explain that?

That was...

What?

There's nothing to hear!

We elected a spy to be our advisor!

- We elected a spy.
- Oh my gosh.

You despicable jerks.

Forget it. Let's go.

Forget this negotiation!

Forget it!

Let's go.

You scumbag.

I never...

My gosh. Mr. Jung!

We were stupid.

We should've listened to you.

What do you mean?

That jerk Dae Han was a spy.

That's right.

What? Mr. Kang.

What do they mean, Dae Han was a spy?
Is that true?

Based on the circumstances, I think so.

We don't know how to face you.

Anyway, let's go back.

Let's discuss how to proceed.

Even if we protest,
we should protest together.

No.

You go first.

I need to listen to
what Dae Han has to say.

- Take these.
- Okay.

(Woods Utong)

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

I persuaded the merchants,
saying I'll get them the most compensation.

What happened?

I told you.
That was the most we could offer.

That's not what you told me yesterday.

You said it was settled!

I'm sorry, but I only
found out when I got here.

I'm just a powerless mayor.
There's nothing I can do.

Darn it.

Like father like son.
Kang Joon Ho is killing me too.

Tell me.

Is it true that you were their spy?

It's true I met Mr. Lee
before I became the advisor,

and that I was trying to mediate...

between Inju Market and Woods.

But it's also true that I thought...

getting the most money from
them was the best option...

if we couldn't stop the mall
from being built anyway.

What would you like?

- I'll take this to go.
- Okay.

(Tiramisu)

Sir, where are we going right now?

You'll see when we get there.

You know to bring tiramisu, right?

Enough already. Don't you worry.

I'll bring that no matter what.

Don't just watch the movie, okay?

What are you babbling about? Get going.

Bye.

- Be careful.
- I will.

(Jung Ji Hyun's Tree)

(Our baby. We're sorry, and we love you.
Remembering you always.)

I didn't know Soo Hyun had...

a sister.

What's the point in talking about it?

It would only hurt her.

It's been over 10 years already,

but Ji Hyun was...

about your daughter's age.

Call even if everything is okay.

Understood?

That's right, she seems to adore you.

She must think of you like a sister.

Would you have said the same thing
if she was your younger sister?

Keeping the baby, I mean.

How did she...

She went to the department store...

and the elevator...

But you know, that department store...

belonged to Woods too.

After losing Ji Hyun like that,

all Soo Hyun, her mom, and I...

demanded from the department store...

was for them to investigate
what happened...

and punish the people responsible.

But they just wanted to
compensate us with money...

and bury what happened.

I know...

there's nothing you can't buy with money,

but to me,

there are things that come before money.

There are things you
can't exchange for money.

Things I can't exchange for money...

Don't you agree?

Today...

is the anniversary of Ji Hyun's death.

(Jung Ji Hyun's Tree)

I heard on my way here.

Is it true you were working for Woods Mall?

Sorry.

This place...

is precious to our family.

Someone like you doesn't belong here.

I came only because you
kept calling and texting,

but don't contact me anymore.

Why aren't we taking the elevator?

It's too suffocating.

What?

Are you claustrophobic or something?

Have a seat.

I started eating first.

I'm too old. I get too weak
if my blood sugar level drops.

You should eat too.

I already ate.

I guess we're not close enough
to eat together, are we?

Anyway, what happened?

You never call first.

I wanted to offer you a deal.

For what?

I will help you build the
international school...

on the prison lot. In exchange,

please stop Woods Mall
from being built there.

You're powerful enough to do that much.

You're the Nationalist Party leader
and worked with Land Development.

A deal can only be made if
both sides benefit equally.

I'd be losing out on this deal.

Do you really think that?

If a shopping complex is built there,

it becomes Mayor Jung's territory.

In contrast, if the international
school is built there,

it becomes your territory.

That's enticing.

I can't stand to see Mayor Jung succeed.

Then do we have a deal?

Not yet.

It isn't easy to flip a business
that a large company like Woods...

is pushing forward.

In exchange, I'll do my best to
get the international school.

So what?

The low-income apartments fell through.

That's too easy.

Then what more must I do?

Let's see.

What would be good?

How about you not running
in the next election?

(Vitalize Traditional Markets
Inju Market Merchant Union)

(The Great Show)

You may never be able to
step foot in my store again.

You must beat Mr. Baek if you
want to become the leader.

I'll help you.

This is going to get
bigger than I anticipated.

The lives of dozens of
merchants lie in your decision.

I'll do my best.

Shut it, and scram!

Stop it.

Let's go. If you want to put
the trash in the trash cans,

you'll have to get out there yourself.

If you dig into this,
it may eventually lead to my father.

Why are you telling me that?

I'm going to trust you.

It's time they pay for their sins.
