CHARACTERS, PARTIES, AND CASES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa had documents seized from his office.

I beseech the detectives who took those documents

to investigate the crimes fairly and thoroughly,

without succumbing to external pressures and giving up.

I beg of you to investigate thoroughly.

Hey, don't be a disgrace and hide behind immunity from arrest

and other special privileges, you bastard.

Assemblymen should also be punished for their crimes!

Isn't that the respectful thing to do for the citizens of our nation?

-Stop! Enough! -Where exactly?

-What was he saying? -Please explain!

-He's confused. -Please tell us!

At an unofficial press conference,

a former assemblyman Kim Ju-myeong exposed past corruptions

of himself and Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa.

Right after making his statement, Mr. Kim Ju-myeong turned himself in.

While Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa is denying the claims of Mr. Kim Ju-myeong,

the National Party members made it clear

that they can't condone Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa's serious misconduct.

And they'll be discussing his expulsion from the party.

-Assemblyman. -Hello.

The members of the supreme council had a meeting.

They decided to expel Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa from the party.

Is that so? That's good news.

How do things look at the National Party?

They say they feel sorry for him, but I doubt they truly feel that way.

He's lost many people's trusts, even internally.

To be honest, he acted too rashly and arrogantly.

It worked out.

Then, what about the Interest Rate Regulation Act?

We agreed to leave it to individual decisions.

I'm sure it'll go well without a problem since Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa is gone.

We'll hold a general meeting once we agree on the supplementary budget.

It'll be voted down. I'm 100 percent sure.

So we just need an agreement...

An agreement...

Where is he right now?

-I'm sorry? -You said

You said you needed one last agreement.

Where is the assemblyman who is disagreeing?

Tell me!

Bring him to me! We need to see him!

He wasn't referring to a person. They need to revise the supplementary budget.

It happens when a budget has already been established

and an additional budget

or a change in the existing budget is required.

They need to agree...

It's when the National Assembly asks the government

for permission to use more money.

No, the government asks the Assembly.

Is that what it is? I get it now.

How can one help negotiate it?

The opposing parties must find common ground.

They haven't been able to find one yet,

and that's why the meeting is delayed.

That means you and I must analyze the budget

and make the opposing parties agree. Right?

You and me?

You mean me.

No, let's do it together.

We'll work together. Don't disappoint me.

That way, the general meeting will take place,

and we'll get to stop the repeal of the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

Who knows when they'll change their minds?

We need to make a move when we have support.

I'm not sure if it'll be possible to negotiate.

Both parties are firm.

That's why I need your help.

Just lend me your brain.

-Thank you. -No problem.

These are three keywords to remember.

Fine dust, public welfare, and preventive economic measures.

Fine dust and life welfare.

No, public welfare. Public.

You know I'm joking, right?

Public welfare. Right.

By preventive economic measures, you're talking about North Korea, right?

No.

It's about the economy.

It's to revive the stagnant economy.

It's about the lack of jobs and unemployment.

That's what you should remember.

Unemployment's important. It should be resolved.

It's definitely important.

Why is the National Party against this?

Isn't it good to resolve these problems?

The government is asking for seven trillion won.

The opposition party can't understand why the government needs that much money.

They don't think these problems will be resolved,

and it'll only be a waste of taxpayers' money.

They think the ruling party is just trying to get more votes for the next election.

So one is asking for more because it'll be cut down.

And the other wants to cut down more because they know

the budget was estimated high.

That's right.

After listening to you,

this sounds like the perfect job for me.

What do you mean?

I know what these people are like from experience.

They won't negotiate. They must be threatened.

I'll go meet with the representatives.

I don't know if they'll meet with you.

That's why I'll threaten them.

No one can beat me at smooth-talking, even in the Assembly.

I'm a con artist, you know.

I'm a love artist.

A love artist that only loves Mi-young.

Did you have a nightmare?

-Gosh. -You're a sweet talker.

I know. It must be because

-You're so sweet. -I'm a love artist.

WE'LL DO AS YOU WANT. MEET ME AT WASHINGTON HOTEL AT 8.

I'm glad you changed your mind.

What do you mean?

You agreed to our supplementary budget.

Isn't that why you called me here?

No, you said you'd agree to what we want.

Isn't that why you called me here?

Goodness. Hello, my good sirs.

Yang Jeong-guk? What are you doing here?

Are you the one behind this prank?

You two went to the same high school and college,

but you two always fight.

I prepared this for you to make up.

We can also talk about the supplementary budget.

What?

How dare you?

Move aside.

I said, move aside.

He's so rough.

What's this? Anyone outside?

Open the door.

I said, open the door. Seriously.

What is this? I said, open the door.

Open the door. Darn it.

Sir, could you pass me your phone?

-What did you say? -If you don't hand it over,

you'll face something unfortunate.

Ever since I was born, I have never--

He has never been beaten by anyone. That's my aide.

So take a seat if you don't want to get beaten up by that little guy.

Gosh.

You... How are you going to take the consequences?

Well.

-Please take his phone. -Yes, sir.

Please give me your phone.

You must know why I brought you two here.

Until you come to an agreement

on the supplementary budget, you can't leave here.

If you try to force your way out...

If you can't come to an agreement in 24 hours...

If you change your tune after you leave...

I can see from your faces that you understand.

All right. Now,

let us begin discussing openly what we must do

in order to call a general meeting.

Also, if we don't work,

it's not a strike,

it's sabotage.

That's ridiculous.

We didn't refuse to settle in order to hold you back!

Then what's your reason?

Whenever the President wants to do something,

you tell him, "No, don't do it."

How is that not holding us back?

You guys did the same.

We're doing what you always did.

So are you applying a double standard?

What a jerk! I ought to--

-A jerk? Did you just call me a jerk? -Yes, you jerk.

You little runt.

Come at me. Come on!

-Why you... -You...

Stop it, both of you!

I've always hated you ever since college.

You know, you're the only one excluded from our group chat room.

What are you talking about? I am too in that chat room.

We started a new one without you, jerk.

I said to stop.

When?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why would we tell you when we did it to exclude you?

Imagine how annoying you were, that everyone from our class--

Mr. Park!

Are you really going to keep this up?

Then let me settle it for you.

As for the budget for small businesses,

let's do as the Minjin party wants.

We need to save small businesses.

No.

As for the budget for the development of new industries,

let the National Party do what they want.

I saw there are many projects asking for more than needed.

Look how this bastard is acting.

Why should I listen to the National Party?

-No! -Seriously!

Why won't anyone listen to me?

You guys at Minjin think you own the world, right?

It won't last long, you fruit flies.

-After three years-- -Are you mad?

How dare you call us fruit flies?

Forget it.

I can't talk to you.

Forget it.

Sit down.

I said to sit, Fruit Flies Rep!

Open up.

Open up now!

What's going on?

I don't know...

Korean.

You're unbelievable.

I gave you a chance to talk one-on-one without anyone else,

so you should talk, not fight.

Why are you at each other's throat?

It's because you people keep fighting over power

that we can't have a general meeting.

Do you know what laws you're holding up?

A law to improve the treatment of firefighters.

A law to provide housing for the youth.

A law to protect temporary workers.

A law to prevent favoritism with work.

A law to punish domestic violence.

And a law to support single-parent families.

These laws can't get passed because of you people.

Will you...

get it together only if people die?

Is that it?

Does a firefighter have to die

for you to think about improving their treatment?

Must a youth without a home die...

for you to pass the law to provide housing?

Our job isn't to fix it after problems arise.

Our job is to prevent these problems

before they happen.

So stop fighting already.

Please.

Are you done?

Doesn't your throat hurt?

Why are you giving a speech?

Fine.

I knew this wouldn't work.

I'm sure many others have said what I did.

That's why

I've prepared a gift for you two.

Mr. Park.

You're partying with DJ Wang-go.

A law to prevent favoritism with work.

A law to punish domestic violence.

And a law to support single-parent families.

These laws can't get passed because of you people.

Will you get it together only if people die?

You jerk.

-You jerk. -You jerk.

You jerk.

-You... Jerk. -Jerk.

Our job isn't to fix it after problems arise.

Our job is to prevent these problems before they arise.

Are you mad?

Forget it. I can't talk to you.

So stop fighting already. Please.

That's ridiculous.

Come at me. Come on!

You little runt.

Hey, you.

What the hell are you doing?

It's 12:30 p.m. right now, so you have until 3:00 p.m.

Come to an agreement,

or I'll send that to every newspaper and TV station.

It's obviously manipulated.

People will know right away.

Technology is really advanced now.

Will they prove it to be fake first?

Or will you step down as party reps first?

There are plenty of people after your titles

even within your own parties.

Seriously.

Given what it is,

let's make it look like you two came to an agreement smoothly

and helped hold a general meeting.

It'll look good.

It's what the people want.

Am I wrong?

Mr. Park!

Let's take a picture.

Come here.

Let's take a picture.

Come on.

This is a good thing, so let's work well together.

-Mr. Park. -Yes, sir.

-Take our picture. -Okay.

SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET DRAMATICALLY AGREED ON

I can't get it all in.

There.

Okay. One, two, three.

SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET DRAMATICALLY AGREED ON

We all look good in the photo.

The National Assembly, which took a break

due to the revision of its supplementary budget,

will be holding a provisional session today.

The party leaders met recently and came to an agreement

on the revised supplementary budget,

and requested a provisional session.

The bill to repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act,

which had already passed

by the Legislation and Judiciary Committee

is expected not to pass

as a result of the agreement reached by the party representatives.

When did the general meeting begin?

PROVISIONAL SESSION

Please take your seats.

Since we have a quorum,

we will begin the general meeting.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

We will first hear the announcements.

I will share the announcements.

The Election Committee announced

that as a result of the by-election

for the National Assembly held on April 24th,

Assemblyman An Nam-gyu,

Assemblyman Jung Min-jun,

Assemblyman Choi Nam-seop,

Assemblyman Baek Sam-gi,

Assemblyman Kim Jin-su,

Assemblyman Lee Myeong-seung,

Assemblyman Kang Tae-gyeong,

Assemblyman Ko Jae-cheol,

and Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk have been elected.

Okay.

The total of 195 are present at the meeting.

If they vote now, it won't pass, right?

Right. That's what I think.

Is that bastard, Kim Nam-hwa, there too?

Next,

the assemblymen elected recently

at the April 24th by-election will take their oath.

Please come forward to the podium.

INTRODUCTION OF NEW ASSEMBLYMEN

Everyone else, please stand up from your seats.

I swear...

-I swear... -I swear...

I shall obey the laws

and will work to protect the freedom of the people,

to promote public welfare and pursue reunification.

I will put the interest of the nation first.

Hey, when did you get out?

Take all the assemblymen and walk out of there.

At this rate, the bill will be voted down.

Hurry up and bring out everyone to cancel the meeting.

You must not know what's going on,

but I'm no longer a part of the party.

So I doubt they would listen to me.

Just try it, you shit. Will you?

If you have a mouth, you can talk.

Okay, hold on.

Hey, do you want to... Okay. All right.

Hello? I don't think it's going to work.

Should I walk out alone?

Hello?

Doesn't she know how to say bye?

Who has the list of the assemblymen that received bribes from us?

-Assemblyman. -Yang Jeong-guk.

We'll now have the assemblymen, who just took the oath,

greet everyone.

They'll do it in the order of age.

Hello, I'm Assemblyman Ko Jae-cheol.

Hello, Assemblyman.

It's me. Park Hoo-ja.

Park Hoo-ja.

Why does your voice sound so far away?

You're abroad on a trip?

Why do you attend the Assembly so rarely?

Stop fooling around with my money!

Go ahead, Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

Dear respectable citizens

and respectable senior assemblymen.

I'm standing here today

because I was sternly ordered by the people of Seowon.

With a strong sense of responsibility,

I'll make sure to realize the ardent desires of the citizens.

Thank you.

Great work, everyone.

I congratulate the newly elected assemblymen.

Please go to your seats.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

What will you do? Park Hoo-ja is out.

You should worry about yourself,

Independent Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa.

I'm nervous.

You're at the general meeting?

That's perfect.

Then, hurry up and get out of there.

How? You idiot.

Just walk out. Don't you have legs?

Assemblyman Cho Yeong-tae, please sit down.

Stand up and crawl out.

You took money from me. Am I asking too much now?

Just walk.

Walk as much as I paid you.

Walk out and go home now, you son of a bitch!

-What's going on? -Where is he going?

-Sit down. -What's wrong with you?

Assemblymen, stay in your seats.

The meeting is starting. Where are you going?

Sit down.

What's going on?

Aren't you staying for the meeting?

My goodness.

We still can afford to lose 40. So don't worry.

Nothing will happen, right?

It'll be voted down without a problem.

We'll make sure such a bill never comes up again.

We'll see an end to it today.

We got everyone we could to walk out.

How many more do we have to get?

REGISTERED: 300 ATTENDING: 191

Thirty-six.

If we do, we can stop the meeting.

Thirty-six...

I just have to get 36 to walk out.

We just need to keep 36. We can do this.

We can keep them here.

Shall I help you?

Should I do it or not?

Please do, if you can.

I sure have a great sister.

We will first vote on the supplementary budget

for the year 2019.

Please make your vote.

Is everyone done?

We will end the voting now.

Here is the voting result.

Of the 186 present,

178 voted for,

3 against, and 5 abstained.

Thus, I declare that the supplementary budget for 2019 has passed.

We will move on to the second matter.

Hi, babe. Did you eat?

Not yet? Why not?

Why is she talking to her babe now?

You should've eaten.

Anyway, you have an assemblyman friend in the National Party, right?

Can you ask that friend for a favor?

-Moving on... -The bill

to repeal the interest rate regulation

will be up soon. There are three to go.

Hang in there. You can do it.

One person? Just one?

-Okay. -You talked like

you could get 100 people out of there,

but just one?

Are you kidding me, Number Three?

Watch how you speak to your big sister.

Should I not help at all?

No. Please help me.

I. Am.

Very. Sorry.

Big. Sister.

-Say it. -Darn it.

Say "I am very sorry, big sister."

Then I'll help.

Sorry, sis.

I can't hear you.

Enough already.

I said I can't hear you.

I am very sorry, big sister. I'm sorry.

This is so annoying.

Okay.

Hello, Mr. Party Representative.

How have you been?

Awesome.

You want me to leave before we vote on the interest rate regulation?

Yes, please.

I heard all the bills you wanted got passed.

Just push back the one to repeal the interest rate regulation.

If it falls through because of your party, how can I face my little sister?

The bill on the punishment for domestic violence has been passed.

Please, I'm asking you as a friend.

I can't do that.

We can't call another general meeting for just one bill.

We have our own schedules too.

Okay. Your schedules.

That's important. Yes, it is.

But you know,

I have nothing on my schedule lately.

I have way too much time on my hands.

Should I build a case against you?

I saw a very amusing video recently.

And you were in it.

Hey. Mi-hui.

If I start to work, you won't be able to.

It's up to you to decide who will continue doing their job.

Bye now.

Wow... Number Three.

You're a piece of work.

Next up is the final item on the agenda.

The bill to repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

Assemblymen, what are you doing?

What's wrong with them?

I don't know.

What are they doing?

This is unexpected.

Exit before voting on this.

Get going.

-Take your seats. -Come out.

Let's go.

What are they doing?

What are you doing? Where are you going?

You need to vote!

Where are you going?

You need to vote!

What are they doing?

TOTAL: 300 IN ATTENDANCE: 151

Aren't they going to stay for the meeting?

Oh, no.

Let me give you something to make you feel better.

Suits you right.

Since we do not have a quorum,

we will vote on this item

at the next general meeting.

We will end today's meeting here.

Meeting adjourned.

The meeting is adjourned.

What will you do now? You don't have much time.

Hoo-ja is out?

Yes. You know that girl, your sister, Mi-hui.

She pulled some strings and got her out.

She's being investigated without detention.

What made her team up with Hoo-ja?

I have no idea.

Regardless, Jin-hui,

shouldn't we do something?

We need to act before Hoo-ja comes at us--

She'll be going to prison soon. What could she possibly do?

She probably got out to get some fresh air,

so don't worry too much.

Once the board meeting is over tomorrow,

I'll be the chairman here.

Yes, that's true.

Oh, and... Kim!

Bring that in.

What's this?

Your 70th birthday present.

Who else would remember your birthday?

Thanks.

I'll use it well.

Use it well,

and help me well. Okay?

Let's go, Baekkyung.

Let's go.

Yes.

You're so with the times.

Listen. So,

if you guys and I vote for Jin-hui

at the board meeting tomorrow,

it'll all be over.

-Got it? -Yes.

You seem to be in a good mood.

What's this?

Why do you look like that?

Is it because the food tastes rotten or because you saw me?

I see. It's because you saw me.

I hear all of you latched onto Number One.

You have zero loyalty.

You took all the money from me, but you gave your loyalty to her?

Hoo-ja.

As someone with more life experience

and your father's right-hand man,

let me say one thing.

Don't say it.

Don't say that one thing.

Okay.

I plan to tell you something very important.

Someone wake Mr. Min-taek. How long has he been out?

Is he sleeping or is he dead? How annoying.

Leave him. You guys listen to me carefully.

Bring him in.

Hello, sirs.

You know who he is, don't you?

Seeing the looks on your faces,

I think this discussion will go very well.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

He's the one who delivered the money

whenever I sent you my money.

Choi Pil-ju.

If I hand him over to the police,

what will happen to all of you?

Your fake threats won't work on us.

We're not the only ones who will be hurt.

-You-- -I already got hurt.

I'm going to jail anyway,

what's the difference between five years or ten?

We will begin the board meeting.

There are ten board members and one auditing manager.

Ten board members are present,

and one auditing manager is present.

Attendance is confirmed.

Thus, a quorum has been met.

We will now begin.

You know, everyone,

I won't go down alone.

The rat who deceived me,

the rat who stabbed me in the back, and the rat who used me.

I'll throw them all down the sewer and die with them.

That's only fair.

Then...

Hoo-ja, what do you want from us?

Normalization.

Let's put everything back to the way it was.

It seems many people do that nowadays.

We will vote on the next Chairman of Baekkyung Capital.

If you approve the appointment of candidate Park Jin-hui,

please raise your hands.

What's going on?

Why aren't you raising your hands?

Raise your hands.

You promised me.

Raise your hands, or I rip your face off!

Even if we do normalize everything,

you can't become the chairman.

You know, don't you?

You're in no position to lead the company.

You can't.

Who said I'd do it?

A new nominee was named at an emergency board meeting yesterday.

It seems like she isn't here yet.

She's the smartest and nicest one among our sisters.

She doesn't have any flaws,

so she'll also do well in managing the employees.

She's much better than me.

Our youngest can do it, right?

If you approve the appointment--

What are you doing now?

...of candidate Park Gwi-nam,

please raise their hands.

THE 23RD BAEKKYUNG CAPITAL BOARD MEETING

Hey.

Have you all gone senile? You sons of bitches!

With a unanimous decision,

Park Gwi-nam has become Baekkyung Capital's new chairman.

I can't accept this.

How could that young girl become the chairman?

I'm a qualified candidate.

I inherited all of the remaining shares that belonged to Chairman Park.

In other words,

I'm richer than you,

-Number One. -Hey!

Can't we drag out that woman?

She's too noisy.

Did she swallow a steam whistle?

Shut it.

Drag out that woman...

Forget it. I'll drag her out myself.

23RD BAEKKYUNG CAPITAL BOARD MEETING

That's why

you should've stayed quiet with what I offered.

What is this mess?

You got played by your sisters.

What happened to my sister?

She used to be so pretty.

Let go of me. Let me go.

Let go!

I will never forgive you.

Do you think I'll ever forgive you?

Baekkyung doesn't belong to you. It's mine!

All discussions have been closed.

Baekkyung Capital's 23rd board meeting is adjourned.

So much happened to you while I was gone.

Are you okay?

I'm not okay. How could I be okay?

I'm barely managing to live.

You're barely managing to live?

That serves you right.

You think you're pathetic as well, right?

What?

Don't you think you're being so rude?

I didn't ask much from you. I only asked for your loyalty.

That's all I asked for. Was that so difficult?

I think you're saying this to me because I said some things to your sister.

But I had my own reasons.

I had to secure my own safety first to keep you safe or protect you.

But why are you being rude to me?

I'm being rude to you since you deserve it, so shut it.

Repealing the Interest Rate Regulation Act would be difficult at this rate, right?

Of course, it's difficult now.

That jerk Yang Jeong-guk is causing trouble.

That's why almost everyone,

more than half of the entire National Party, is against it now.

Then can we change the tide if we take care of Yang Jeong-guk?

You'll take care of him? How?

Just answer my question.

Can we bring them back to agree with us if we take care of Yang Jeong-guk?

It's possible. If we create some scandal involving him,

it won't be so difficult to bring them back.

As you can see, assemblymen don't deal with people that have flaws.

They're scared that they might get in trouble too.

But what did you mean

by taking care of Yang Jeong-guk? I'm curious about it. May I ask?

You and I have worked like this until now to improve our lives, right?

That's why we lost to Yang Jeong-guk.

We lacked enthusiasm.

That's why I'm trying to approach things differently now.

I don't even want a better life anymore.

Let's make this public and bring down Yang Jeong-guk.

It's the only way for us to at least survive.

This applies to both of us.

What is this?

What do you think?

Is it powerful enough?

Are you upset?

No.

But you seem like you are.

You should smile.

You said more assemblymen are supporting you.

Everything will go well. Don't worry too much.

I'm worried for a reason. Hoo-ja's out now.

Things will get more complicated now.

But isn't it great even if the meeting isn't held?

Then the Interest Rate Regulation Act will stay the same.

No. We need to hurry and hold a meeting.

We must stop them from repealing the Interest Rate Regulation Act

before Park Hoo-ja does anything.

And we must stop it from happening again.

Why are you calling on the weekend?

What?

Over here.

What happened?

What press conference is Kim Nam-hwa having?

I heard it from a friend in Cho Yeong-tae's office,

so I don't know the details.

But it's about exposing something related to you.

So what is he exposing about me?

Let's go in first.

We must hear what he'll say.

Hello. I'm Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa.

Today,

I'm standing here to reveal some accusations that have been made

against Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

The accusations I'm about to reveal now aren't just presumptions.

They're facts. I'll be clear about this.

It has been confirmed that Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk

did not major in economics or graduate from Seoul National University.

As I checked it myself,

not a single student from SNU named Yang Jeong-guk ever existed.

I hope you're clearly notified about this.

He became an assemblyman with a false background.

I request the Election Committee to officially accuse Yang Jeong-guk.

Okay. There is something else.

It becomes serious now.

I've prepared some data. Just a moment.

Let me show you.

Isn't he going too far?

How could he dare to accuse you?

He's such a jerk.

Can you see the data here? Take photos of it.

This is about the real estate fraud in Paju last year.

The value of the real estates of North Gyeonggi Province changed a lot

as our relationship with the north changed.

During that time, some people purchased

real estates in Paju at a very cheap price,

put a title on those lands about being developed,

made a huge profit from selling them,

and hid from the public.

I can say that this data shows the records of where their money went.

What does that have to do with Yang Jeong-guk?

I'll tell you about that now.

You don't have to rush me.

I'll slowly explain it.

If you look at the records of the capital flow,

you can see that the money laundered by several fake accounts

is gathered in one account.

You can see it here, right?

To whom does this account belong to?

It's Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk...

is a con artist.

A con artist?

Assemblyman Yang,

I'll prepare a counter press conference now.

Seriously. This is too much.

A con artist?

That's ridiculous.

He's a con artist.

He is a shameless con artist that feeds off of hard-working people.

I have much more data similar to this.

And if you request for it on your way out,

I'll share the documents with you.

I want to use this chance to say something to Assemblyman Yang.

Fraud is a very evil and cruel crime

that exploits the greed, anxiety, and trust among people.

Assemblyman Yang used people's greed,

created anxiety,

and betrayed their trust

for his own personal benefits.

He doesn't deserve to be an assemblyman anymore.

I would like to ask Assemblyman Yang,

who must be watching this, to do this.

You should step forward on your own

and confess your crimes

before I reveal all the evidence I have similar to this.

And I'd like to ask him to quit being an assemblyman.

I think that would be his last chance to be forgiven by the people.

I'll give him just one day.

He must stand where I'm standing now

and reveal everything about the crimes he's committed.

If he doesn't do that,

I'll reveal it.

That will be all.

-Let us see that data. -Thank you.

-Please look this way. -Please look here.

I'll do it.

Hey.

Why did you call me?

I thought that you were the only person

that would be honest with me.

It's too obvious...

what other people will say.

Even Assemblyman Kim.

Do you mean that they'll tell you to say that it's not true and it never happened?

But what will you do

if I say the same?

Deny it.

Say that there's no proof, and it never happened.

Say that.

This is surprising.

I thought you'd tell me to be honest.

The truth should be kept secret if nobody can be happy from it.

My goodness. You...

even sound cool.

However,

whether the truth makes someone happy or not

isn't important here.

To be honest,

I hate being embarrassed.

I did so much after becoming an assemblyman.

Even when dealing with a minister candidate,

I never let anyone go free

if they ever lied.

How could I be like them?

Assemblymen shouldn't be like that.

Yes.

They shouldn't be like that.

Assemblymen shouldn't...

You are my sister's husband before you are an assemblyman.

If you tell the truth,

both you and Mi-young will become miserable.

Everything you two have fought for,

every emotion, and every word

will become false.

Don't abandon yourself or Mi-young

for your responsibility as an assemblyman.

That's too painful.

Assemblyman Kim's press conference today is causing a commotion.

He revealed several issues related to Assemblyman Yang's past actions.

Assemblyman Yang faked his educational background...

You're back. Did you eat?

Here.

You must've been shocked.

No.

Why would I be shocked? It's not even true.

Of course. Yes.

I know that Kim Nam-hwa did that to get back at you.

I'm fine.

Don't be swayed by this, and do your best.

You still have much to do.

You must stop them from repealing the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

It's me.

Let's hold a press conference tomorrow.

Assemblyman Yang is holding

a press conference to counter Assemblyman Kim's words

at the briefing room in the National Assembly.

Good luck.

Okay.

I will.

According to Assemblyman Yang,

he will counter Assemblyman Kim's accusation

that he's a con artist.

It seems like he will take action

by saying that everything Assemblyman Kim said

at the press conference was political maneuvering.

If Yang Jeong-guk denies things, get ready to reveal the next information.

Yes, sir. You should see this.

He even pulled a Ponzi scheme?

Everyone is looking forward

to how Assemblyman Yang's response will change

the political situation.

ASSEMBLYMAN YANG'S COUNTER PRESS CONFERENCE

Okay, it's done.

Assemblyman Yang, I prepared it like this,

but I'm not sure if you would like it.

-Let's go. -Yes, sir.

Turn on the TV.

Okay.

PRESS CONFERENCE WILL START AT 10:00 A.M.

Right. Sit down.

No, you should sit there.

-Please. -No.

-No, Hoo-ja. -Please sit here, ma'am.

Please sit, Chairman Park.

No, I'll just...

PRESS CONFERENCE HALL

Assemblyman Yang.

Make sure you get back at that jerk Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa.

Mr. Park.

Do you trust me?

Of course, I trust you.

Really?

Thank you.

PRESS CONFERENCE HALL

Hello.

I'm an assemblyman for Seowon,

Yang Jeong-guk.

I gathered busy reporters

because I wanted to explain

the truth related to the many accusations I have been under as of late.

ASSEMBLYMAN YANG'S COUNTER PRESS CONFERENCE

You have a lot on your mind, don't you?

I'm sure you have a lot on your mind.

I am...

a con artist.
