ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES, CASES, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

Sorry, Mi-young.

Remember that aide you met? He can't drive.

So I had to drive him home, but he lives in Pocheon.

Pocheon.

I wanted to try to do what you did.

Preparing dinner and waiting nicely.

But that wasn't as easy as I'd thought.

What exactly do you do?

-Mi-young, the thing is-- -What do you do, Jeong-guk?

Everything that didn't make sense...

finally makes sense now that I know who you are.

Why you pushed me away,

and why Park Hoo-ja's men attacked me.

Who are you?

I get it now.

How long were you planning on keeping it from me?

How long did you plan to keep it from me and make me look like an idiot?

There's a slew of things running through my mind now,

but I can't say anything

because they sound like excuses.

Yes, you're right.

I am what you think I am.

I've been deceiving you.

But please...

You must know this.

When I met you, loved you,

and married you,

that was all sincere.

That hasn't changed.

If you knew exactly what you were...

If you knew you'd have to lie to me forever,

you never should've dated me in the first place.

You shouldn't have loved me and married me.

What is this? We've come so far.

It's too late to do this now.

All I can say is that I'm sorry,

but I'm scared you won't think I'm sorry.

I should've saved that word for this moment.

I'll go after I clean this up.

How much is it?

What?

How much is it exactly?

How much is what?

How much did you borrow from Park Hoo-ja?

Why won't you answer me? How much?

What?

I need to know the exact amount,

-to come up with... -What?

Are you going to deny it?

Even after admitting it?

I don't think I admitted

what I thought I admitted.

So, I borrowed money from Park Hoo-ja, right?

Why are you playing dumb now?

You said I was right.

You said you were deceiving me!

That's right.

Yes. I had a problem with my business,

-so I had to borrow-- -So, how much?

How much did you borrow from the loan shark?

Well.

Well, it isn't much. Like...

a billion won?

-What? -I paid back about 900 million.

So, 100 million?

Well...

With interest, it's like 200 million won.

Maybe a little more?

Probably more. Yes.

You don't even know how much you need to pay back?

-Are you stupid? -That's not it.

She said she'd call it even if I became an assemblyman.

Right? That's why you're running, right?

I thought you were being strange.

So? What is she trying to do by making you an assemblyman?

I don't know that much. I'm just doing as I'm told.

-Anyway, I'll take care of it, so-- -What can you take care of?

Is this the best you can do?

Come with me!

What?

Come with me!

Where are we going?

If we're going to your mother's to borrow money, I'll look so...

We're not going to Mother's, right?

Ms. Park Hoo-ja.

It's me, Kim Mi-young.

Yes, I know.

How have you been?

Not well, thanks to you.

Mi-young!

Let's meet. I'm on my way now.

Kim Mi-young is coming.

Why would you meet her?

You can't solve this even if you get involved!

I'll...

I'll take care of it little by little.

Shut your mouth.

Say one more word, and there will be a murder.

Why do you think she wants to see you all of a sudden?

How would I know? I just got the call.

I'm going with her right now.

PARK HOO-JA

Mi-young thinks I borrowed money from you.

Give me your phone.

MI-YOUNG THINKS I B...

-What? -Give me your phone.

I want to charge my phone.

Can't I give it to you after just one minute?

Why?

So you and Park Hoo-ja can get your stories straight?

You borrowed a billion and paid back 900 million,

so the balance is 100 million principal and interest, right?

If you're lying about the amount, you're dead.

Give it to me now so I can charge it!

Okay, sure.

Here.

I'M GOING WITH HER RIGHT NOW.

Mi-young thinks I b...

What does this mean?

What is he saying?

"Mi-young thinks I b"?

What does that mean?

I think she took his phone while he was texting me.

Let's interpret this.

Mr. Choi.

Gosh.

This punk is cool.

He's a real man.

Why?

What does this mean?

This text message wasn't cut off.

This is the entire message.

"Mi-young thinks I b."

That's the whole sentence?

What he's saying is this.

Mi-young, his wife, thinks he's a boar.

"Mi-young thinks I b."

She thinks he's tough and can protect her.

"Mi-young thinks I'm a blackbelt and that I'll protect her."

-That's what-- -Mr. Choi.

Stop making things up.

"Mi-young thinks I'm the best"?

MI-YOUNG THINKS I'M THE BEST.

I get it now.

This is it.

"Mi-young thinks I borrowed money from you."

I think this is the situation.

He was totally caught by his wife,

but she thinks he borrowed money from her.

She can't imagine her husband is a con artist.

So he wants you to play along.

That's what he meant when he sent this text message.

Mr. Choi. Are you writing a novel right now?

MI-YOUNG THINKS I BORROWED MONEY FROM YOU.

How could you make up a story from this text?

There's no need to read so much into it.

Mi-young thinks I'm a born con artist.

She realized her husband is a con artist.

MI-YOUNG THINKS I'M A BORN CON ARTIST.

I've been thinking it over,

and it's kind of rude to drop by like this.

Stop saying stupid things and listen to the song.

I have something to ask.

I know why you're here.

Why don't you sit? We have plenty of time.

You told me before that my husband is a con artist.

I finally understand what you meant.

That's why we're here.

-So, Chairman Park-- -You be quiet.

-What she's saying is-- -I said, quiet.

That I...

Enough.

I know.

I'll take care of it, so don't worry.

Go on. That's why you came here, and what?

Yes, that's why I came here.

Anyway...

Wait outside.

-What? -Wait outside. So I can talk to her alone.

You can talk in front of me.

100 million principal and 100 million interest.

I borrowed money from you.

I'm not a con artist.

Why are you so happy

when your wife found out you're a con artist?

Fine.

I'll save you.

If you lie to me about the amount, I will kill you both.

If you don't mind, let me start.

I don't know how you found out about it,

but if this gets out,

Jeong-guk will be hurt the most. You know that.

You'll have to quit the police too.

It's too humiliating to be a cop with a husband like that.

You seem to think you can dump it all on him

and weasel out of it.

You're just as bad.

-You know that. -I'm just a victim.

A victim of a con.

You're not just a victim.

You blackmailed him with that minor thing into running for the Assembly.

Come on.

"That minor thing"?

Is that a minor thing to you?

It happens. It's understandable.

I know a lot of people like that.

You know a lot of people like Jeong-guk?

That's right.

Do you mean people you meet at the station?

At the Intellectual Crimes Division?

At plenty of other places, too.

It's a tough economy.

I guess people around you do things like that

when the economy's tough.

Wealthy people may not understand people who live paycheck to paycheck.

Not live ten years on one paycheck?

That's what Jeong-guk does.

Stop messing with my husband.

It's because he's naive.

He does that because he's naive?

Are you very open-minded,

or do you just love your husband way too much?

I'm rational.

Anyway,

how much money did my husband take?

I can't hear a thing.

The door must be soundproof.

All you care about is the amount

and not what your husband does, is that it?

Anyway, just tell me. How much is it?

Fine, as you say,

how much did my husband con you out of?

Six billion won in 100-bolivar bills.

Six billion won.

-What? -Six billion won.

How could he lie about 5.8 billion won?

I see you're calculating, not rational.

But don't worry too much.

I agreed to call it even if he gets elected.

If Jeong-guk becomes an assemblyman,

it'll be a win-win for us all.

I can do what I want through him,

and you will be an assemblyman's wife.

So look at the big picture.

Your con artist husband becomes an assemblyman--

Stop calling my husband a con artist! You're making me mad.

Fine.

I understand.

You didn't know for all these years.

It could be shocking to hear it now.

I wouldn't like hearing it either.

Still, you should admit it.

If you admit your man is a dirty scumbag,

things will become much easier.

I don't need any of it

so stop yapping your mouth off.

I'll pay you back.

Whether it takes 10 years or 100, I'll pay it all back before I die!

So leave my husband alone.

Stop toying with a naive man.

What are you doing?

Quit whatever you're trying to do after making him an assemblyman.

Then I'll leave you alone as well.

I'll destroy everything I gathered on you so far,

and I'll pretend you didn't do anything if you let my husband go.

You make it sound like I'm a terrible person,

although the bad guy is out there.

Accept my offer while I'm being nice. Otherwise,

I'll kill you myself.

Look.

Chairman Park understands what's going on, right?

-Do you mean your text from earlier? -Yes, that.

She said not to worry, that she knew everything,

but I have no way of making sure she knows--

You said your wife knows you're a con artist.

That's what my sister thinks.

Would you take that offer if you were me?

Do you hate becoming an assemblyman's wife?

It's not what he wants. You made him run.

-Will you accept? -Of course not.

But look. Do you realize you're threatening me

using your position in the police?

This is illegal.

Who cares about what's legal or illegal?

I only care about my husband.

I'm not that good of a cop.

Mr. Choi said you meant,

"Mi-young thinks I borrowed money,"

but my sister said he was wrong.

She said you meant "Mi-young thinks

I'm a born con artist."

But what did you mean?

Why didn't she listen to Mr. Choi?

-What? -Why didn't she listen to Mr. Choi?

Mi-young doesn't know.

So? Are you refusing my offer?

Okay. Fine.

This means war.

Come now. Then we'll have to take this all the way.

You'll get seriously hurt. I'm not kidding.

If I get seriously hurt, what will happen to you?

Do you even know how to fight?

She's adorable.

Mi-young.

Hoo-ja, what did she say?

She's calm for someone

who found out her husband was a con artist.

She doesn't know yet.

What?

She thinks he borrowed money from you.

Mr. Choi was right.

How did everything make sense just now? We seemed to be on the same page.

What?

My gosh.

Hey, Mi-young.

What did you two talk about?

Whatever she said, it's a lie. I told the truth.

What truth? She says it's six billion won.

-What? -You owe her six billion.

How could you lie about 5.8 billion won?

Six billion won?

Why, that shameless thief.

I was going to take out loans or something if it was 200 million,

but I can't handle six billion.

So you take care of it.

Either win the election or sell your organs!

You fix it yourself!

Okay.

Whatever the amount, I'll take care of it.

I'll win the stupid election. Problem solved.

And it'll be nice for you to be an assemblyman's wife.

How is that important?

What's so great about being an assemblyman's wife?

That's not what I mean.

Your one word means more to me than 100 words from other people.

That's what it means to be married.

Don't lose what you have for something you don't have.

You won't have it forever.

Mom.

You're drunk all right.

Hey.

Hey. What about the discussion tomorrow?

I was so sorry to my wife, I had to drink.

I lied again today.

What?

I said I'm doing this because I owe Chairman Park money.

What are you talking about?

At first, I thought she found out I was a con artist,

-so I was going to tell her the truth. -And?

But it turned out she thinks I took out a private loan,

so I lied to her again.

So, everything I said and did in front of Mi-young today

was a complete lie, again.

But the most frustrating and crazy thing is,

he lied to me, but...

He's lied all these years we've been married, but...

But when I look at him, I feel sorry for him.

But the thing is,

the reason...

I felt disgusted at myself today is,

when Mi-young asked if I borrowed money,

right at that moment,

I felt relieved.

I felt so relieved.

I'm terrible, aren't I?

I know he's terrible, and I resent him so much, but...

It must've been so bad that he couldn't tell me.

He must have been so miserable all alone.

When I think about that, I feel so bad for him.

I feel so bad for her.

There are so many good men out there.

So how did she end up with me?

But

you and your wife

are still married.

What do you mean?

No matter how much you fight and get mad, you're both sincere.

That's why you're getting wasted and suffering out of guilt.

That's what you live for.

If you live with that sincerity, what he did is nothing.

It's not a bad thing that you can't tell her

everything honestly.

Punks who say you must be honest if you love them?

All of them need to die.

They speak recklessly because it isn't about them.

Sons of bitches.

There isn't much to marriage.

It's natural to feel bad when you think about your wife when you're married.

It's natural to get mad when you think about your husband when you're married.

Then when one side runs out of juice,

you break up.

Then it's over.

Anyway,

I was worried that it was the end,

but my daughter is still doing well.

Don't worry too much about Jeong-guk's problem.

If you two work hard,

-you'll pay it back-- -Six billion won.

-What? -The amount

Jeong-guk borrowed from Park Hoo-ja

is exactly six billion won.

It sounds easy enough, but it isn't...

as easy as it sounds. That's marriage.

Isn't it amusing?

Six billion won?

Six billion won?

Six billion...

Jeong-guk, you crazy little scumbag.

Why are you living with a jerk like him?

Divorce him at once!

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I know that too, but...

It's true the subway line is needed more in other districts than ours. Yes.

Yes.

That's not what I meant.

I don't think the report is all that...

Excuse me for a minute.

I'm sorry, but I'll call you back tomorrow.

No, there's no construction.

It's my sister snoring.

I'm telling the truth.

Yes.

I'll call you tomorrow. Okay.

Is there a war?

What's with the noise?

Did she wake you?

Yes.

So it was that brat snoring.

Sang-jin, punch her in the face.

That makes her snoring stop.

What? Punch her in the face?

Yes, punch her.

I can't sleep with all that noise.

I think perhaps you should punch her.

Fine. Step aside.

Mom.

Why is she here, by the way?

Is something wrong? She seems drunk, too.

Son.

Ask her yourself.

Don't ask a third party.

Wash up and sleep.

Eat something if you're hungry.

-Okay. Good night. -Night.

JEONG-GUK

SEOWON POLICE STATION

Yes, I just got to work.

Anyway,

did I fall off the couch while I was sleeping?

Because...

I feel really stiff.

And my left cheek hurts as if someone hit me.

-Yes. -Look at this.

-Hi. -Hello.

I hit myself in the face while I was sleeping?

For real?

Why did I do that? Was I having a bad dream?

Anyway,

I need to talk to you about last night.

Yes.

-For now, my team will investigate-- -Lieutenant.

I'll call you back. Yes?

Remember my informant from before?

The real estate scam.

Yes, the one who went into hiding.

What about him?

His name is Ma Sang-beom.

He was helping me on condition that I'd drop a case against him.

Some detective called Gu

got something on me before, so...

His body was found recently near Gwangdeok Mountain.

Violent Crimes doesn't know our cases,

so they took his prints

and were gathering evidence,

but they received a tip.

What tip?

That it was the loan shark Park Hoo-ja who killed Ma Sang-beom

and chopped him up at the Weolcheon Bathhouse in Inseo-dong.

And that if we checked the bathhouse,

we can tie Park Hoo-ja to the murder.

Who gave you the tip?

Can that person be trusted?

I don't know. It was called in to Violent Crimes.

Who in Violent Crimes?

I heard you took the call for the tip.

Give me the file. I'll catch Park Hoo-ja myself.

DISCUSSION WITH CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK

Thank you

for calling me here to this great event.

I am sincerely gratefull--

My apologies.

I don't feel well today.

Okay then, I'll take questions.

Yes?

We hear low-income housing will be built in this neighborhood.

To be honest, we don't want that here.

I trust you know why.

How are you planning to resolve this problem?

I'm running for the Assembly

because I'm also a resident of Inbuk-dong.

And I want to voice your opinion in the Assembly.

-Okay. -The problem regarding

the low-income housing that you all oppose

needs a re-evaluation, in my opinion.

That's right.

I don't think they should.

Next question.

Yes. The gentleman in the black trench coat.

I'm Chun Sang-hun with Inbuk-dong's committee for the subway line extension.

Hello.

Since you're a resident of Inbuk-dong as well,

I'll be completely blunt.

We prefer having luxury apartments in the neighborhood

rather than low-income housing.

And we want the subway line to finally reach Inbuk-dong.

If you get elected,

can you do that all for us?

"Can you do that for us?"

is a wrong question.

I'm running for the Assembly to do that for you,

and that's why I'm here today.

If I, the Brave Citizen Yang Jeong-guk, get elected,

then I'll bring in a luxury apartment within my first year as assemblyman

and have construction for the subway station start within a few years.

No authority can win against the citizens.

Let's hope that you, me and everyone

can become the living proof of that statement.

Thank you!

DISCUSSION WITH CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK

Assemblyman Kim.

Is it okay to lie to people like this?

You didn't lie. You spoke the truth.

-You saw how happy they were. -How is that the truth?

I didn't say a single truth.

I'm a real estate specialist.

People are afraid property value will drop if low-income housing comes in.

And that is why they're against it.

But that's not true.

Even if low-income housing comes in,

property values go up if they were meant to.

Many low-income housing units rise in value like neighboring apartments.

And bringing in luxury apartments is meaningless.

They're useless now.

There's a surplus of apartments.

Why build more?

That won't raise property value.

Property value here already reached its peak.

So?

In light of that, we don't need a subway line either.

Adding these things will only make people dream big.

They'll inflate prices of properties here

and if anyone offers anything for less,

they'll report them for making a fake offer.

That's how they'll destroy the economy here.

If I think about the residents,

my campaign promise is not a good thing.

It only sounds good.

Plus, most of the people here are pretty well-off.

They all have multiple cars.

Let's meet in my office.

Can't they let Inseo-dong have the subway?

They're so inconsiderate.

Are you done?

Yes.

Okay. I heard what you had to say.

But do the campaign as I say.

Go to the office.

If you heard my opinion, we should discuss...

You weren't listening, were you?

You're terrible, Kim Ju-myeong. You're terrible.

On the fourth day of the campaign,

the independent candidate Yang Jeong-guk,

who visited the apartment complexes in Inbuk-dong,

promised to reset the selection

of the district to get the extension of the Sinbundang Line.

Only one person! Candidate Number Five!

That's me, Yang Jeong-guk.

Please vote for me!

You're here.

Hey.

Why did you want to meet here?

I have a favor to ask.

What is it?

Last time, when they came with a search warrant,

who was your connection in the police department?

Corporal Choi.

We're close. We went to the same high school.

Why? Do you want to submit a claim to him?

Tell him to get rid of someone for me.

A transfer is fine, but a suspension would be better.

-And termination would be the best, right? -Yes.

Who is this cop that upset you so?

Kim Mi-young.

I couldn't stand how she kept hovering around me.

I've been going easy on her since she's our candidate's wife.

But I can't anymore. She's too bothersome now.

She keeps buzzing like a mosquito.

Does Jeong-guk know about this?

Of course not.

He wouldn't sit still if he knew.

If he finds out, it may affect his campaign.

Are you sure?

I'm doing this to avoid that from happening.

It's best for him if she and I don't cross paths much.

What if she bites me or something?

Do you think I'll die alone?

Then there will be a problem with life, not the election.

For me, Mi-young, and Jeong-guk.

That's right. We can't leave you out.

You're like a pro at talking rudely.

How are you so rude on an empty stomach?

It takes skill to be so rude at 10:00 a.m.

Fine, I'll tell Corporal Choi to do what he can.

But he may refuse.

Don't get your hopes up.

Back in the day, people like us

clung onto a sliver of hope

and begged for help.

But not anymore.

I've been had by so many people in the government.

I have something set up on my own.

I don't care even if he refuses.

Do you want my help or not?

Whatever. I'll take care of it.

Get to work.

I have to campaign all day today.

Oh, right.

You know that comes out today, right?

Pre-election polls.

What's taking so long?

It should be out by now.

It'll come out. Don't be so anxious.

Saying not to be anxious doesn't make me stop.

This is so frustrating.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Sorry?

-Me? -Yes, you.

Do you have a girlfriend?

I don't have one. But why do you ask out of the blue?

What about me, then?

I'm a pretty good catch.

I hear you can't drive.

I'm a great driver.

We're a good match.

One drives very well, and the other can't.

We're destined to be together.

Just go out with me.

I'll be good to you.

I want to date someone who studied abroad.

I'm sorry, but I respectfully decline.

Why?

Why don't you like me?

Well, I don't think it's time for me to date.

I still prefer studying.

We can study together.

I'll underline things for you and sharpen your pencils--

I use only mechanical pencils.

Plus, I've never once studied with a woman.

I apologize again.

Should I just go kill myself?

I'm here.

Hello.

What's with the mood?

Seung-i was just rejected by Mr. Park--

Okay. Did you ask him out again?

You do that every quarter.

I did not!

Yes, you did. Every quarter.

-What about the polls? -You know Dong-il,

the college student volunteer.

I sent him there.

He'll call once it's out.

I'm sure you'll get at least 20 percent.

No.

Don't expect too much from the get-go.

I think I'll get about 15 percent.

About 15 percent...

You have a call.

-Who is it? -It's Dong-il.

-Finally. -Answer it.

Hey.

Kang Su-il, 35 percent.

NUMBER 1, KANG SU-IL

Kang Su-il!

-Kang Su-il! -Kang Su-il!

Han Sang-jin, 28 percent.

NUMBER 2, HAN SANG-JIN

Twenty-eight...

Twenty-eight...

Yang Jeong-guk.

What?

Thirty-nine... Yang Jeong-guk.

-Thirty-nine percent! -The first place?

We're in first place?

Yes!

-Yes! -We're in first place!

Yes!

Yes!

-Yes! -We did it!

Hey.

-We're in first place! -Yes!

Yang Jeong-guk!

-Yes! -Hey!

-Yes. -Hold on.

Yes?

Isn't that more than 100?

-That's right. Whatever. -What?

-Of course, it's... -Wait.

Han Sang-jin, 28, Kang Su-il, 35,

-Yang Jeong-guk, 39. -39.

-That's 102 in total. -Yes.

-It's 102... -Yes.

Maybe people from other neighborhoods voted too. Don't worry.

-Don't worry. -Even so,

-it's a percentage. -Yes! We did it.

-Look. -I'm dizzy.

I'll take you.

I'll open the lid of the Assembly building.

Hi, Dong-il.

Hey, but doesn't that add up to over 100?

I'll take you there.

What do you mean?

Yes. It's ours.

You were mistaken?

Yes.

-It's 3.9 percent? -It's 3.9?

My head. I'm dizzy.

You... You didn't see the decimal point. I see.

I can't hear. What?

-Okay. -What's he saying?

Everyone makes mistakes. It's okay.

Yes, okay.

Thanks. Thanks, and...

You worked hard.

So you can go home from there.

That's right.

Go home, and don't come here!

Of all the things to leave out...

Darn it.

How could that jerk forget the decimal point?

That makes a world of a difference.

That stupid idiot.

But still,

it's just a survey with a 95-percent reliability,

with plus or minus 4.4 percent deviation.

That's pretty much precise, then.

Exactly. Now that I said it out loud,

I realize it's the most precise survey.

In that case,

from a maximum of 8.3 percent

to negative 0.5 percent is the possible result.

Negative 0.5 percent?

This is bad.

Jeong-guk. Don't worry.

You can't get a negative because I'll vote for you.

You don't even live in this neighborhood.

-I mean, I have friends who do. -You can't vote.

I have lots of friends here.

Look. Please explain this to her.

-Look. Just vote. -Gosh.

-You can't. -Just vote.

-Just vote as you wish. -You should take back

-that you'll vote. -Hey.

You said you'd vote for him, so...

-Keep it down! -But...

Hi, it's me.

No. Dad... I mean... So, Dad...

Hey!

No! Dad is...

Okay.

He must be really hurt.

Of course, he is.

How could he get 3.9 percent?

Can't we just argue it's 39 instead?

It's just a survey anyway.

Arguing won't do any good...

They're so ignorant.

What was that?

This place is so nice.

So this is our new home?

Not yet. We still have a huge debt.

We can just pay that back.

With both of us working, it won't take long.

-Is anyone here? -Who's that?

Hello.

What... How may we help you?

We're the cleaning service for Building 212.

We clean apartments.

A cleaning service.

I guess each building has its own service.

Well,

there are many companies that clean half-heartedly while charging a lot.

If one company does an entire building,

it can offer discounts.

That's why we were selected officially through the management

as the official cleaning service for new residents.

It's customary these days.

I see.

If you tell us when you're moving in

and send 200,000 won to the account written there,

our employees will come and clean the place.

We'll get rid of the paint smell, too.

Well, we're moving in next Monday.

Can you clean before then?

Yes, of course.

We'll send you the money tonight.

Yes, ma'am.

Please make it nice and clean.

-Yes, of course... -Father!

What are you doing here?

-This is... -I said to stay home.

Mom called the cops that you went missing.

I'm sorry. My father suffers from dementia.

He insists he needs to go out and work.

He used to provide move-in cleaning service

before he got dementia.

Then does he get confused now and then?

Is that why he came up to us...

I'm so sorry.

Let's go, Father. Come on.

Just go home and watch Jugglers instead.

Come on. Let's go.

What a good son.

I feel bad for him. Isn't that so sad?

What? Yes, he's such a good son.

Are you happy, making your dad a dementia patient?

Are you happy,

scamming people when your son's running for office?

I was just trying to make spending money.

You guys don't give me any.

And I took the subway to another town because of you.

To work on people who don't know you.

I transferred twice and came to Uijeongbu.

What if Mi-jin hadn't told me?

My running for the Assembly aside,

you'll end up in prison if you keep doing that.

Who cares if I go to prison at this age?

So why did you awaken my instincts?

Why did you make me do that at the banks?

You made me want to return to work.

How could you say...

From now on, don't go back to work.

If a con artist doesn't con people, what can I do?

My instincts are back.

Enjoy. I'm sorry.

How's the campaign going?

Did you even get four percent?

I got 3.9 in the pre-election polls.

I hit the bull's eye.

It'll go well.

I'll vote for you.

You're so thoughtless about something on which your son's life is at stake.

Plus, you can't vote anymore.

Your resident registration was canceled.

Yes, it was canceled, but it doesn't mean my life ended.

And I saw your campaign pledge.

"The Brave Citizen will bravely change things."

-You saw that? -Yes.

-How did it feel? -It's lame.

Look.

You know, when other fathers and sons sit and eat together,

the fathers give the sons pieces of advice on life

or say profound things.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

Your son has a lot on his mind.

Even if the world ends tomorrow, I will...

Forget it.

Excuse me. A drink, please.

The strongest you have.

Hello? To Innam-dong in Seowon.

Yes.

Please come quickly. Thank you.

Gosh.

Father.

You can't sleep here. You'll get sick.

You'll get Bell's palsy.

Wait in the car. I called for a chauffeur.

Father! Get up.

Leave me alone.

Gosh.

You know,

I have to get elected

if I want to live and protect Mi-young.

What do you think

I should do going forward?

What must I do

for people to think I'm a decent guy

and decide

to give me their votes?

I can't tell you anything cool...

because I'm uneducated.

Just don't lie to the voters.

That's not something a con artist father should say to his con artist son.

It may not be something a con artist father

should say to his con artist son.

But it's something he can say to his son

running for the Assembly

and having problems with his marriage.

They are exactly the same.

You shouldn't act like you like something you don't.

The view here is so nice, isn't it?

It is. It's nice.

But why is there so much fine dust here?

You shouldn't say things you don't mean just to make them happy.

Yes, I love you.

Of course, I miss you too.

I mean it.

You shouldn't turn people into idiots to avoid a sticky situation.

I said my battery died.

-Why won't you-- -Make me believe you.

Don't you have a charger in your office?

Don't con people, you punk, when your life depends on it.

Honey.

May I visit you at your office tomorrow?

Don't bother. What for?

There's nothing to see.

Let's go to sleep.

You may make money through lies,

but you can't win the heart of a person.

They'll be disappointed and hurt by your lies.

They will all leave you.

Every single one.

Come here. It's cold.

Come here.

Gosh.

YANG JEONG-GUK PROMISES YOU!

YANG JEONG-GUK

Hello, sir.

We waited for so long.

Why are you all still here?

It's late.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

I was busy.

You heard the pre-election poll result, right?

Yes.

Are you disappointed?

Look at him. He looks like the world came to an end.

It's too early to be disappointed, so pull yourself together.

Hey. Look.

Kang Su-il has 35,

and Han Sang-jin has 28.

And the independents including you got 10.2 percent in total.

What about the remaining 26.8 percent?

They are undecided.

They don't want to vote

and don't have a candidate that they support.

You just have to win them over.

Then you can win.

I understand what you mean,

but how will we get them?

Should I chase after each one of them and beg for their vote?

You're going on a televised debate.

What are you staring at?

You're going on a televised debate.

Let's make it three people to look balanced.

That looks the best too.

I put in as many as my candidate's number.

-Five. -You and Kang Su-il...

Darn it. How annoying.

Sir.

We have a televised debate.

What?

Get me Han Sang-jin's diplomas and proof of military service. Now!

And Han Sang-jin.

Let's prepare for the debate.

We need to flip this.

We have a televised debate?

Yes.

Get me everything on Kang Su-il's campaign.

-Okay. -Yes, ma'am.

Those three.

At 7:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

Tell me now if you don't think you can do it.

If he doesn't do well on TV, things will get worse.

It'll affect your campaign until the end.

So? What do you say? Go or stop?

Why? You can't do it?

-Then I'll tell them we're dropping out. -No.

That's not it, but...

POLLS LED BY KANG SU-IL AND HAN SANG-JIN

So,

Park Hoo-ja killed Ma Sang-beom in retaliation for ratting her out?

Yes, that's what I think.

You'll see the name Oh Seong-taek.

I saw. The guy who runs the bathhouse in Inseo-dong.

You said he killed him on Park Hoo-ja's orders.

Anyway, you want to go arrest Oh Seong-taek, right?

Along with the Violent Crimes Team?

Yes.

We want to get on his back and pick Park Hoo-ja.

You're rushing it. Hold back for a while.

No, we don't have time to hold back.

As you know already, my husband...

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK AT 3.9%

He was dragged into something

and forced to do it against his will.

I need to apprehend Park Hoo-ja in order to save him.

Are you sure you can catch her?

It doesn't look like she'll go down easy.

I can catch her.

I don't go down easy either.

WAS THE BRAVE CITIZEN'S LOSS FORESEEN?

I'll do it. Fine.

I'll do it.

Bring it on.

Who cares about the survey?

They weren't official votes.

Do you think you can win?

I don't think. I just have to win.

Tell Kang Su-il and Han Sang-jin to wait.

I'll rip them to shreds.

Let's hold off on the Park Hoo-ja case.

I told you, we don't have time.

You said she has a mole on your team.

A civil complaint set up against Kim Mi-young is done.

What civil complaint?

What did you do to Mi-young?

I will lock Park Hoo-ja up.

You need to win the election first.

That's the only way you and your wife can live.

Who fired a gun? Report in.

I can't trust any of you.

Twenty seconds before the broadcast.

I'll do what I want based on what I believe.
