(Episode 4)

Come on. Got it.

I almost had it.

All right, this is it.

Come on! Get in there, darn it!

This thing already ate ten bucks. Shouldn't I get at least one?

- How haven't I gotten a single one? - I've won over ten of them.

- How many? - Ten.

- You did? How? - Because I'm good at it.

No, I mean, how did you win so many? How did you get that many?

Want me to show you the trick?

- Yes, show me. - What's in it for me?

Win one first, then we'll talk. That's how you negotiate.

Negotiation?

- What's negotiation? - Negotiation?

It's when you and I...

both give something to get something we want.

Put the money in.

(Ttoli Super)

Hey, if you can't win one, I'm getting my money back.

- Okay. - Good.

- Okay, try it. - Watch.

- Okay. - First, pick the prize you want.

That one! I want that yellow chick.

- Don't pick a toy that's too heavy. - Why?

Because you're not good enough to win it yet.

- Fine, just do it. - The claw has three prongs, right?

- Yes. - Use two to grab the neck...

on each side.

And the last prong grabs the middle...

- of its head like this. - Okay.

Grab the head on big-headed prizes.

I got it!

You're amazing! High-five!

Hey.

What's with you?

I'd like a slime, please. I held up my end of our deal,

- so now it's your turn, mister. - Fine. Let's go to the store.

All right, kiddo. Here's your slime.

- Here you go. - That's right.

This is how you negotiate.

- Negotiation over! - Okay.

Off you go.

- Mister. - What?

Next time, If you can't win with five dollars, give up.

Spending ten bucks on a claw machine is a bit much.

Hey, for that two-dollar slime,

you taught me your secret technique. I think I got the better deal.

You can find that on the internet, you know.

I told my dad how to do it, but he still hasn't won one.

He's just not a natural like me. See you.

Unbelievable.

(Shin's Project)

I forgot it.

(Chicken Center)

You're the one who always said...

it's better to use an opponent than make them your enemy.

Is that what you did this time?

Lee Sang Hyun and his mother were caught...

on CCTV at the airport.

You used me to cut off cell service...

and secured their escape route, didn't you?

While smuggling Lee Sang Hyun out, you tricked all the authorities.

Harbouring a fugitive.

Aiding and abetting an escape.

Up to three years in prison or a five-thousand-dollar fine.

And I thought we were on the same side.

Hurry up. We're almost out of time for a ride.

Hey!

I told you to just go for it! Treat corners like a straight line.

Relax your forearms.

Look. Your traps are way too tense.

Don't grip so tight. Easy does it.

Relax. Gently.

Even my grandma could ride better. How did you even get your license?

It's harder to focus when you keep nagging me.

Says you!

You were nagging me earlier when I was doing my workbook

- "Says you"? I'm your tutor. - Well, right now, I'm your teacher.

I'll stop nagging. Just do one lap around the course by yourself.

- Mr. Shin! - Hey, Ye On. Don't run.

Hey, Ye On. I won you a prize at the claw game.

- You really won this? - Of course I did.

How many tries did it take? Once? Five times?

Ten?

What does it matter how many tries? The point is, I won it for you.

It's only a jackpot on the first go. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

Funny.

You sound just like your sister, Si On.

That's what my sister says. That's why she won't let me play.

Ye On.

This has to be our secret from Si On.

I totally wasted my money winning this.

So you have to keep what I said a secret from her too, okay?

Sure.

- Good grief. - So, what should we name it?

A name?

You were fine getting them put in. Why fuss now they're coming out?

- Not there, my foot! - My bad.

You should've said so.

I heard you got hurt at your job. Isn't your boss covering the bills?

Forget it. It's too embarrassing.

(Hujin Arcade)

Lee Sang Hyun and his mother were caught...

on CCTV at the airport.

What did it do wrong?

What?

What did that table do to deserve being tortured with a rag like that?

That's not it, sir.

You've barely started working here and you're already slacking off?

It's not that, sir. It's just that you...

- kept things from me. - What did I ever do to you?

- You're secretly breaking laws. - I'm doing what?

Never mind.

Such a slacker.

Hello. I'm sorry, but we're not open yet.

Hey, he's not a customer.

He's not?

Business must be booming. You even hired help.

He's not my help. He was left here.

Step outside for a bit.

- What? - I said, get over here.

Why tell me to leave now? You don't give orders in my kitchen.

Technically, it's my kitchen. I didn't even charge you a deposit.

Well, if you're on a power trip, you might as well waive my rent too.

You change the oil every day, right?

- Can't you tell just by looking? - Of course I can.

As if you know...

So, where's the sweet rice flour?

Why would you look for it there? It's right here.

(Sweet Rice Flour)

Actually, I was about to buy some.

Hey, Pillip.

- You were about to get this, right? - What?

The sweet rice flour.

Right.

You're not just phoning it in, are you?

Who, me?

I put my all into this business.

Hey, Pillip. Back me up here.

About what?

My dedication.

Right. Our chicken is really delicious.

Hey.

Go buy the sweet rice flour.

I'll go get it.

Hurry back.

Well, your apprentice is dense.

He's not my hire. I'm stuck with him. He'll quit soon enough.

You think I'd hire someone that dense?

But I mean I like him because he's a terrible liar.

Sounds like he's exactly the kind of person you need.

These old guys...

They're all the same, always barging into my shop unannounced.

Judge Kim was here too? Then who else put that kid here?

Darn, I'm a step too late. I should've put my own guy in here.

What am I, a dartboard? What's this "putting people in" talk?

This darn chicken shop...

(So glad you're here.)

I've seen him somewhere before.

(Park Myeong Jin)

(Businessman)

That's him.

Let's see. Thousands, millions, billions...

Twenty-seven billion?

Wait, why would a corporate chairman be at our chicken place?

Who in the world is Mr. Shin?

Mr. Shin? He's the real deal.

The guy's connections are insane.

He's a negotiation expert who the government fought hard to get.

But if he's such a big shot, why is nothing about him online?

What's the deal with this chicken shop?

If you're so curious, find out for yourself.

(So glad you're here.)

Now what?

That guy's the landlord, right?

Is he here about the commercial redevelopment?

Yes, so he says.

Anyway, where are you off to, all dressed up?

I'm visiting my ancestors' grave.

So what did the landlord say?

Did he say you could keep the chicken shop running?

Who knows. What about you?

That's what's been keeping me up. I'm worried I'll be forced out.

Why? Are you planning to retire?

Retire? No, I'm perfectly able-bodied.

I can still thread a needle without glasses.

Well then, just keep at it. What's the problem?

That's the problem. My landlord, Mr. Kim,

- says there's no space for my shop. - What?

Who gets to decide that?

Beats me.

I did all I could to please him. I ironed his shirts for free.

I even took care of his wife's mink coat.

And then he just stabbed me in the back.

So what, you're going to go ask your ancestors for help?

No.

I have something different to tell them today.

I'm just going to pay my respects and make a fresh start.

A fresh start? At your age?

Let's just say I have a plan.

Hey, no.

You can't open that yet. It's important.

I'm back.

- Hello, sir. - Hello, there.

So what's the word from Pluto? Did he meet with the landlord?

As for Mr. Jang, the landlord...

Whatever, I don't even want to know. I'm off.

Hey, at least have a cup of coffee before you go.

He's dying to know, but he pretends not to.

Hey, Pillip.

Let's go grab some lunch.

But it's not even eleven yet.

Hey, just meet me at Pluto.

- Another order of meatballs! - Got it.

- Hey, Si On. Have you had lunch? - Meatballs, got it.

Not yet.

- Making a delivery? - Yes.

Be safe.

- Enjoy your lunch. - You too. Be careful out there.

My sister had to get stitches in her arm.

- And a big bruise on her stomach. - So how did she get hurt?

She said she fell off her scooter.

- That's a lie. - A lie?

There wasn't a scratch on her scooter.

Someone must have hurt her.

You have to find whoever did it and teach them a lesson.

I will.

I'll teach them a lesson. I promise.

Here, have this to start. It's on the house.

- Thank you. - Hey, Mr. Jang.

Do you ever get nightmare customers?

We had this guy appear on a livestream, looking all smug,

Si On got chewed out on a delivery because of it. It was a mess.

What? I wasn't trying to show off.

You're the one who sent me there. I was just caught on camera.

Hey.

I told you to make a delivery, not to star in a show.

You were flaunting your looks in that suit,

and Si On ended up taking the heat for it. That's a fact.

Don't even get me started.

Just the other day, some jerk called and said that the food was soggy,

so I checked his order and he'd gotten...

fried rice and sweet and sour pork.

I even packed his sauces separately,

so I asked him how anything could be soggy.

He said the driver was rude and that it ruined the taste of the food.

Does that even make any sense?

So what happened?

He threatened to file a complaint,

but then he ordered again today.

Wait, is that where she just went for a delivery?

(Elevator under Maintenance)

(Repairs in Progress)

Yong Pal, that son of a witch.

But I have to make the delivery.

You jerk.

You're late.

The elevator's out.

Did you have to take the stairs?

Apparently, he was a lawyer before he started working for me.

A real lawyer?

Yes.

Then why are you working at a chicken restaurant?

It's a long story.

Hey now, Mr. Jang. You have a funny way with words.

What's wrong with a chicken restaurant?

It's not about the chicken restaurant.

A lawyer in a place like this is odd.

Just a moment.

Hello, this is Pluto.

- Excuse me? - I said the noodles are stuck.

The sweet and sour pork is also soggy. How can I eat this? Darn it.

I told her...

to bring me a new order, but she's refusing.

How do you train your employees? Darn it.

Hey.

Hey!

Take it.

Yes?

Just give him a refund, please.

Okay.

You've got to be kidding me. I'm starving, and you bring garbage,

and all I get is a refund?

Hey, you should be compensating me for damages!

You don't need a fancy degree to know that's just common sense.

Is this how you use your education?

You purposely made me take the stairs.

You're getting a refund, so just order from somewhere else.

I won't charge you for the broth. Go mix rice in it or whatever.

Where do you think you're going? Clean up this mess.

You son of a...

Still hurts?

Why did you run off and get hurt?

I wanted to meet up with a classmate.

You spilt it, you clean it up.

And make sure you sort your recycling properly.

What a creep.

Crazy witch. Hey, delivery girl! Lee Si On!

Darn it. You're dead meat.

Lee Si On! Darn it.

If a customer uses insulting names like "jerk" or "son of a witch,"

or otherwise verbally demeans your character,

for public insult, under Article 311 of the Criminal Act,

they can face up to a year in prison,

or a fine of up to two thousand dollars.

Anyway, if that jerk of a customer gives Si On any trouble,

- Give me a call right away. - Will do.

And not a word of this to Si On.

- Right. - I'll do whatever I can to help.

Thanks.

(Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Police Agency)

You're meant for bigger things, sir. That one incident held you back.

I like it here just fine. A detective's job is to catch crooks.

Look, with a high-ranking job, you're too busy pleasing bosses...

and do anything but bust fellow cops. It's not for me.

You're telling me. Imagine me being a lowly team leader.

I get heat from above and complaints from below.

So please, cut me some slack.

I should be saying that to you.

Don't feel awkward because I'm older.

And just treat me like any other guy on the team.

Don't you worry. I won't go easy on a senior like you.

Let's get dinner with the team later.

And about getting up to speed...

Just take it easy.

Thanks.

(Yun Dong Hee, The Mastermind?)

Hey, Pillip.

Are you any good at acting?

What?

Never mind.

From what I saw, you're clueless. You'll just mess everything up.

What are you plotting now?

- I can do it. - You say that about everything.

I'll prove it to you. What do you need me to do?

(Chicken Center)

Hey, Si On. Take him with you for a few days.

- What? - Why?

So he can learn the routes and the tricks of the delivery.

No. I'm busy. He'll just slow me down.

I don't want to go either. What skills does delivery even need?

- You just drop it off. - You're the worst.

Hey.

Have you ever played one of those claw machines?

You can't win every time just because you know how it works.

It might look easy, but there's a technique to it.

Deliveries are the same way, kid. It's a lot harder than it looks.

Right, Si On?

Just leave him be. Let him live and die a jerk.

- You said you could act. - How was that?

Not even close.

Hurry up and follow her.

Honestly...

Get going!

Hurry.

- What now? - We're on delivery.

Do you want me to drive?

Let's go.

- You are off the route. - Where are you going?

This isn't the right way.

This isn't the GPS route.

We should've turned left back there.

You are off the route.

(Five minutes remaining)

You shaved off 5 minutes.

See that?

That's what you call skill.

Just go. You obviously don't need a GPS.

- Alright, we're heading out. - Drive safe!

They're a weirdly good match.

Then again, I think she could do better.

- Mom. - Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

Mom.

- Don't cry. Look at me, okay? - Mommy...

- Mommy. - I'm getting you out. It's okay.

What do you mean, 'it's okay'? What about me?

I'm not crazy!

It's also weird that the CCTV was off.

Han Ji Yeong and Lee Han Jun were murdered.

Yun Dong Hee is faking being on drugs. Can't you tell?

Gosh.

Seriously!

(Chicken Center)

Welcome.

Just one?

- Yes. - Sit anywhere you like.

So, what can I get for you?

- Fried chicken and a Coke, please. - You got it.

Nice.

I beat the GPS by seven minutes.

Gosh.

It's pure skill.

That'll be 20 dollars.

I'll go get my wallet, so just wait by the door.

Oh, I'll just wait outside.

Okay, then.

- You again? - What about you? Delivering again?

I see you running several deliveries from dawn till dusk.

You're nuts. Now pay me for the chicken.

Before I do...

That mess you made in the hallway of my officetel.

You need to pay for the clean up.

You're the one who made the mess. How dare you ask me to pay for it?

- Gosh! - I've let it slide, witch! Darn it.

You haven't changed a bit since high school.

When are you going to grow up?

Hey! You're not getting away! Let go!

Hey, stop moving!

Look at her!

You witch. You were too poor to even graduate.

I'm giving you business out of pity, and this is how you treat customers?

How about your damages cover the fee?

Oh, really?

What do you think you're doing?

Lee Si On.

Are you okay?

Who on earth are you, you jerk?

Gosh, you jerk!

Darn it! Seriously!

Let's go.

I told you, I'm fine.

I mean,

can you even ride this thing? Want me to do it?

I'm perfectly fine, I said.

You're usually so useless.

So, what was all that back there?

What are you talking about? When have I ever been useless?

I graduated from the Police University.

I'm a 3rd Dan in Taekwondo and a 2nd Dan in Geomdo.

There you go, bragging again.

Gosh.

Oh, right.

The money for the fried chicken.

That scumbag. Unbelievable.

Ever since high school,

has he been bullying you like that?

What are you looking at?

Hey. From now on, you're my cigarette runner.

I don't have any money.

You don't have what?

Hey. Is this the jerk?

Hey!

I said, stay still!

Hey! Get your head down.

Gosh, seriously.

Is that why...

I didn't drop out of school because of him.

You go on ahead. I'll grab a cab.

Wait, you're not going back there, are you?

Choi Yong Pal is a total thug and a complete psycho.

- He's trouble, so stay out of it. - It's fine.

- He's got a bigger problem with me. - But...

Don't worry.

I won't be reckless.

I'll just get the chicken money and be right back.

All right, I'm heading out.

- Don't take too long. - Okay.

Gosh.

Get home safe.

Hurry back.

There we go.

Looks delicious, doesn't it?

- It does. - So, do you live around here?

- No. - First time here?

It is.

Oh, never mind.

Well, let me know if you need anything.

- Mr. Shin! - What? Si On, you've no deliveries.

Hey, why are you here alone? Where's Pillip?

Choi Yong Pal is a total thug and a complete psycho.

He's trouble, so stay out of it.

Forget it.

Come on, why isn't he answering his phone?

- Where are you going? - I'll go check on him.

No, don't!

Hey, wait, Si On!

Oh, sir, I'm so sorry.

Something urgent has just come up,

I'm afraid I have to close now. Can I pack this up for you?

- Please do. - Oh, thank you so much.

(Mr. Shin)

- Yes, Mr. Shin. - Si On, where are you right now?

I'm following a suspicious car.

Don't do anything until I get there. Got it?

Just hurry up and get here.

(Si on)

Hey!

Someone's in here!

Hello?

Is anyone in there?

Someone's in here!

Si On!

What about the car? Where is it?

(Junkyard)

It's ringing, but he's not picking up.

- Right. - Si On, go check over there.

Okay.

Someone's in here!

- Someone's in here! - Hey, Cho Pillip!

- Pillip! - Cho Pillip!

Pillip!

Pillip!

(Lowering)

- Pillip! - Answer us!

Cho Pillip!

Someone's in here!

I said, I'm in here!

Pillip!

Cho Pillip!

- Mr. Shin! - Where are you?

- Mister, over there! - Pillip! Where?

Stop!

Pillip!

- Pillip! - Raise it! Hurry!

- Raise it now! Lift it! - Lift it! Hurry up!

- What are you doing? Lift it up! - Raise it!

Please, lift it up!

Hey, Pillip! Get him out of there, quick!

Hey! Grab him!

Easy!

You got him? Two, three.

Easy.

- Cut this for me. - Okay.

Man, what on earth?

Hey, Pillip, you okay?

- Can you move at all? - I think so...

- I'm okay. Just help me up. - All right.

Let me.

Hey, Si On. Take him to the hospital. Go ahead.

- Okay. - All right, you. Let's have a talk.

- Where's your office? - Right this way.

Go on, hurry.

Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

I've got a bump on my head. I think they knocked me out.

Hold on.

I may be a bad driver,

but I know a thing or two about cars.

There's an emergency release inside the trunk.

You're annoying.

- Hey, I was just at death's door. - You got a death wish?

I told you Yong Pal is a psycho. I said to stay away. Why did you go?

You have no idea how ruthless that guy is.

Sorry for making you worry.

You should find another line of work.

You're not cut out for delivery work.

Where are you going? Wait up.

Hey.

I mean...

I just thought you'd be worried, so...

I was just trying to lighten the mood.

Because of me...

You almost died because of me!

I'm sorry I joked about it.

And thanks for worrying about me.

(Under CCTV Surveillance)

Why isn't this working?

What do you mean it isn't working? When you have this sign posted?

I just found out myself, but...

- Alab, did you turn off the CCTV? - No, it wasn't me.

So it was working at some point. What about the other employees?

They all went home after the company dinner.

Then why were you two still here?

Alab and I came back after dinner for a steel mill shipment tomorrow.

Do you have team dinners often?

Just every now and then.

Today, our boss booked a BBQ place, so it was just the employees.

Just the employees?

Yes.

Sounds like a good boss.

This is nice.

What?

Gosh.

Hey, what's up? For the record, you called me.

- Kim pro, dig dirt on someone. - On who?

As much as you can, as fast as you can.

Yes.

So, what'd they say?

They said he's fine.

No concussion, and the bump will go down soon.

I told them I was fine, but they insisted on a CT scan.

Right. You get hit on the back of the head and knocked out,

and almost crushed in a compactor, but I'm glad to hear you're "fine."

Gosh. No evidence, no doctor's report...

- How am I supposed to fight this? - This is all my fault.

How is this your fault? Yong Pal is the one to blame.

Should we file a police report?

I just told you. We have no evidence!

I'm going to handle this myself. I will take care of it.

As your boss, there's no way I can let this slide.

The nerve of those punks. How dare they mess with my staff?

My way.

I'll deal with this personally.

Then what about me?

You just rest up.

Then I'll look for evidence my own way.

My apartment building doesn't have any CCTV.

But there's a camera right here.

That one's a fake. It's a dummy.

A fake.

(Multi-purpose CCTV in operation)

Excuse me, could I please check this security camera?

I was assaulted near here, but I don't have any evidence.

I'll check the camera with this number.

Officer Lee, can I get the request form, please?

Hey, digging into that family is actually pretty interesting.

- I got everything but a few things. - What? Why'd you leave those out?

It's my lunch break. We public servants must eat on time.

Oh, I know. Even when I was at death's door,

you were having your meal all by yourself, right on time.

Stop messing around. I'm hanging up.

Just send it already.

(Chicken Center)

(Closed today)

So, Mr. Shin, is "your way" working out for you?

How about you?

I'm working hard too. Even at the law firm, meeting people...

was pretty much all on me.

Is that right?

By the way, Mr. Shin, how did you know?

- Know what? - That Choi Yong Min was after her.

How would I have known that? I had no idea who Choi Yong Min was.

That can't be right. You said to be her secret bodyguard.

That's why I followed her deliveries and put a tracker on your phone.

That was just because Mr. Jang from Pluto...

mentioned a problem customer, so I was just being cautious.

Thanks to that, we protected Si On and I saved you too.

A little "better safe than sorry" killed two birds with one stone.

Jackpot, in one word.

Just rest up.

Where are you going? Want me to come?

No, it's our official day off. You should just rest.

I'll be back.

(Chicken Center)

- Who is it? - Delivery.

I didn't order anything.

- It's a delivery. - Darn it.

Darn it, I said I didn't order anything.

Isn't this unit 1208?

That jerk. Did he really order it to the wrong address?

With an attitude like that, you must be Yong Pal.

Who are you?

You a cop?

Hey. Scum like you ruin our scrap,

and our country's steel industry pays the price.

You jerk. Did you try crushing my guy in a car?

- Did you order the car crushed? - What? I did nothing.

- You got proof? - Proof?

Proof?

Proof...

Right here, you jerk.

Hey!

Yes, I recorded his voice. Sending it now.

(Adding voice)

(Cloning Voice)

(Voice Generation Complete)

It's been a while.

Mr. Shin.

I wanted to thank you for your help the other day.

I was in a real jam,

and you were the only one who came to mind.

I'm glad you called.

I was just happy I could help.

I bet Ji Woo's all grown up.

Is she doing well?

She's in college already.

I just saw her last month.

- She's doing great. - Good.

By the way, Madam Joo.

Do you have any old photos of Ji Woo,

like one of her in a white dress holding a doll?

You mean this one?

I'm sorry, sir. Something urgent has come up.

I saw a man with this photo yesterday.

Where? What did he look like?

He came by my restaurant.

Kim Yong Woo.

- The Kim Yong Woo from back then? - Yes.

That's him. That scum.

Ji Woo's father.

Having a hard time focusing today?

It's just...

I'm just wondering what the point of all this is.

Why did you want to do it in the first place?

Well...

So I wouldn't get disrespected by jerks like Yong Pal.

What good is a GED anyway?

Even a genius like you almost got killed.

All the more reason to fight hard to make sure he's punished.

That guy, Yong Pal...

Has he been harassing you all this time?

For about...

a month now?

I ran into him on a delivery.

He's still the same old jerk,

but he had the nerve to give me crap about dropping out.

It was humiliating,

and it just upset me.

Whatever your motivation was,

what matters is that you're doing it.

But what's going to change even if I do?

Even if I pass the GED, I'm still...

I'm...

just me.

Still got nothing, still powerless,

just a burden on you for no reason. And Yong Pal's dad is running again.

You are powerful.

Are you kidding me?

I know you're only helping me because you feel sorry for me.

No, you really are powerful.

Look. The preamble to Korea's Constitution.

The supreme law that defines government...

and the people's rights and duties.

No law is above the Constitution. And what's more...

It's the most powerful law in the country.

And do you know what the very first article says?

Article 1, Clause 1.

The Republic of Korea shall be a democratic republic.

Clause Two: The sovereignty of the ROK shall reside in the people,

and all state authority shall emanate from the people.

You said Yong Pal's dad is a city councilman, right?

His power comes from the people too.

- That's just textbook stuff. - Exactly.

You have the right to vote, don't you?

That's your power.

And Yong Pal's dad desperately needs your vote.

The local elections are just around the corner.

(Article 1: The ROK is a democracy.)

(Article 2: Korean citizenship is defined by law.)

You should quit your delivery job and become a judge.

It suits you better.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Idiot.

For that compliment, dinner's on me. I can get a bite before I go, right?

(Mr. Shin)

Hey, I thought we were off. You told me to take the day off.

You've been resting all day.

What good is that if I haven't even had dinner yet?

Are you hungry? Want me to fry you some chicken?

So, why'd you call me in?

To share what I've got on Yong Pal.

Though I'm still going to handle it my way.

Have a seat.

By saving Lee Sang Hyun,

the same way you spirited him out of the country?

Mr. Shin. You know that's aiding a fugitive?

Thanks to Lee Sang Hyun, you exposed all that corruption...

and got the cancer patients justice.

I get that, but...

So what? Should I have just let him die?

And that poor mother would have lost both her kids,

and spent her life in misery. Is that it?

Pillip, what would you have done in my shoes?

- Hey. - Manager Kim.

What's up? How have you been doing?

What's up? Real cool entrance?

- Try showing up on time for once. - I know.

- Hey, Kim pro. - Yes?

So, did you dig up all the dirt?

You know it. Hey, get me some coffee.

I'll get it.

No, it's okay. He's very particular about his coffee.

- I'll do it. Put the kettle on. - But...

dig up dirt on who?

Choi Woong Sik. A three-term city councilman.

Choi Woong Sik owns that whole area, including the Buhyeong Scrapyard.

The scrapyard is leased by Chae Eui Soo for next to nothing.

Chae Eui Soo? What's their connection?

They're as close as brothers. And their sons are friends too.

- Choi Woong Sik! - Choi Woong Sik!

He works the campaign at elections and even heads the fundraising.

Just hearing about it reeks of corruption.

He must be getting a lot of kickbacks.

And get this. In this city, Choi Woong Sik...

has more pull than the mayor.

Why just a councilman? He could be a lawmaker or even a governor.

It's not that he can't, it's that he won't.

He has all the money and power he needs.

His son is a total train wreck. He beat up kids in middle school,

bullying them, and doing other terrible things.

But there's not one article about it.

Because his father's above the law?

That's insane. Covering up school bullying?

What about the victims? That trauma lasts a lifetime.

Why are you yelling at me?

Hey, Pillip. Are you this worked up over Si On?

Yes.

Well, it's partly because of Si On.

And the other victims too.

Choi Yong Min's father, Choi Woong Sik.

Is he running in this election?

His kick-off ceremony was last week. He's about to win his fourth term.

- No, that can't happen. - Says who?

Hey, you two, be careful. Wasn't your assistant nearly crushed?

There are more people out there who don't value life than you think.

Don't worry about me.

I don't die.

Hey, golden boy. Know my nickname in the Middle East?

Never Die.

What about in the US?

Kim Pro.

- You telling him stories about me? - No.

Die Hard.

Stop laughing.

Stop laughing.

And what are you laughing at?

I just love that movie. My mom is a huge Bruce Willis fan.

Hey, don't bring up Bruce Willis. The man's retired.

Oh, gosh. This guy...

couldn't die even if he wanted to. Right?

(Mahon's leap forward! Choi Woong Sik)

(City councilman Choi Woong Sik)

Please get some tea for our guest.

Thank you.

Here you go.

(Achievement Award)

- Please, have some tea. - Thank you.

I know Hujin Arcade well. I've been a local for 40 years.

Is that right?

So that must be why everyone...

kept telling me I had to come and see you.

Even without this city council pin,

neighbours should help each other out.

Yes, of course.

So, sir, what seems to be the problem?

I...

run a business that relies on deliveries.

And I see all kinds of customers.

One customer was on a power trip, and it went way too far.

Are people still that shameless out there?

Tell me about it. They're out there.

Councilman.

My driver had such a hard time with them,

she started recording their interactions when she could.

- Would you mind taking a listen? - Of course.

You're the one who trashed the place and you want me to pay for cleaning?

I've been letting this slide, but you...

You've got some nerve, don't you? Talking back to me.

Let go of me.

You little wench. Too poor to even graduate.

Hey! Snap out of it. It's the middle of the day.

So what? I'm leaving the country anyway.

- That wench has no bodyguard now! - Dude, are you crazy?

That delivery girl, Si On. She'll learn without a job or bike.

Hey, knock it off!

You treat a poor customer like this? The cleaning fee is your settlement.

That's my son.

So you knew all this when you came here.

I am so sorry.

I'll do everything in my power to make this right.

I'm not an unreasonable man.

If I have something to answer for, I'll take full responsibility. Yes.

That jerk is dead, right? Hey, don't worry about it.

My dad will take care of everything.

So who should take responsibility for this one?

Your son? Or should I say you, Councilman?

Fire!

Hey, get out! Quick!

What do we do? What are we going to do?

That jerk...

He's not dead?

Oh no, that's Si On's scooter. Si On!

Why don't you be straight with me?

Is that why you're here? To threaten me?

Threaten you?

I wouldn't threaten someone over their son.

I'm here to negotiate, Councilman Choi Woong Sik.

If you withdraw your candidacy from this election,

I will let you walk away from this.

The assault on Si On and the attempted murder of Pillip,

as well as threatening the victim and trying to cover up the truth.

If you take full responsibility and resign,

I'll let you walk.

So, what's your answer?

Would you rather find out what a real threat...

feels like?

(Shin's Project)

This won't hold up as evidence in court.

We need more evidence.

Who has time to take down villains by the book?

I, Candidate Number Nine, Shin Jay, will make it happen!

If we unify our campaigns and join forces...

- Just steamroll them all. - I guess that's our only option.

I might not look it, but I'm a good fighter.

I have to complete it.

The election!
