ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
PLACES, CASES, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

ASSEMBLY CANDIDATES DEBATE

Do you still need to think about it?

It's seven percent.

It's seven percent, Sang-jin.

If you can't turn it around
during this debate, it's over for us.

I know that.

Is it that hard to say
you'll give them the subway?

Will someone get hurt or die
if you promise the subway line?

Politics only happens after the war ends.

Let's win the war first.

We don't have time to protest the war
when bullets are whizzing by.

And this is true especially for you.

I will make sure

the Sinbundang Line comes to our district.

That's right. I promise.

-Yes!
-That's what I'm talking about!

-Seriously...
-If I can't,

I'll take it from them.

I am from the National Party along with
Chun Gap-su, the Mayor of Seowon.

Only I can make it happen.

I promise

to bring you

the Sinbundang Line.

Are you sure you won't regret this?

I guess you are.

Let's see who gets the last laugh.

Go.

Sang-jin, I mean... Okay.

I ask Mr. Han Sang-jin.

From what I know,

you had always stated

that the extension of the Sinbundang Line,

in other words, infrastructures
such as subway lines...

...should focus on public interest,
not on commercial profit.

Inseo-dong needs a subway
more than our district does.

Inseo-dong doesn't have sufficient public
transportation for the population.

I believe that was your position.

Why did you change your position?

I was wrong.

Pardon?

Sima Qian once said...

that the best politics

is following the desires of the people,

the second best is leading the people
with benefits,

the third best is lecturing them
about morality,

and the bad politics

is intimidating them with punishments.

The worst politics

is fighting with the people.

I only realized now that I had been
the worst politician. And that's why

I changed my position.

Good and bad politics?
What are you talking about?

Why are you suddenly
bringing up Sima Qian?

Mr. Han, be honest, will you?

You changed your position
to win over voters,

and that you'll change it again
once you're elected.

-Just admit--
-Mr. Han.

You told me yesterday

that it's hard to keep promises
we really mean,

so how can we promise
something we don't mean

when it's obvious we won't keep it?

That when you run for office...

You don't do it for the votes.

You do it for the people.

That's what you said.

You said that's why you wouldn't change
your pledge regarding the Sinbundang Line.

You remember, right?

I don't recall.

You don't recall?

-I don't.
-You said it yesterday...

Are you kidding me?

That's what you said.

That's what you said to me!

I do not remember.

How do you not? We were
talking about Mi-young...

I did not.

That's what you told me!

That you wanted to be right even if
you lose and won't go back on your word!

That is all. Next question, please.

-Sang-jin!
-Mr. Yang!

I'll say it one more time.

I do not remember
having such a conversation...

with you. Does that answer your question?

-Hello.
-Hey.

Where's the punk you said you caught?

He's in the office.

You're sure about this, right?
Or we're all dead.

We have a handwritten confession.

-Don't worry.
-Okay.

But... Let's have a look first.

What happened to his face?

Don't tell me you hit him.

No.

There was a mishap during the arrest.

That's not good.

Make an arrest with words
in the future, okay?

With words? Well, we'll try.

I'm Prosecutor Choi Uk-hyeon
from the Seowon District.

I have a feeling
we'll be seeing each other a lot

so I'm introducing myself to you.

Where is it? Okay.

"And then I..."

What you wrote here...

Is this all true?

Can you say the same thing
in front of a judge?

Yes.

-What?
-I can.

Of course.

Gosh. Why did you do this?

Then let's begin with this.

Okay.

We're almost there.

Okay.

Oh Seong-taek confessed everything
to Prosecutor Choi.

Why do you keep smiling?

Have you lost your mind?

No.

You don't seem to get what's going on.

I'll tell you now
since I don't want to startle you.

Once we get to the office,

the situation will change drastically.

It was freezing.
I went through a lot that day.

It was crazy windy,
and we were climbing the mountain.

The ground was frozen.

-It was frozen solid...
-I'm your superior.

-Hey.
-Get it yourself.

-Okay.
-I dug into the ground.

It's written here.

This is where he dug.

You're going to be in a very tight spot.

You see,

I don't do anything
that doesn't make money.

I'm a loan shark after all.

How...

How are you still alive?

Why are you so shocked?

Did you see a ghost or something?

Did you all eat?

If you didn't,

how about a meal with soju?

Who's he?

Pardon?

He's someone I know...

We went to school together... Right?

Come on.

How could we gone to school together,
Detective Gu?

I'm seven years older than you.

I am Ma Sang-beom.

I'm Detective Gu's mole,
informant, and source of information.

If you detectives need any information,
I'll serve you well for a small price.

That's right.

Here's my card.

Here.

Here.

Okay.

Hey.

Seong-taek.

Did you kill Ma Sang-beom?

Yes.

Him?

Yes.

If you killed him, how is he alive?

Right?

How is he alive?

I'm sure I killed him.

Exactly.

Come here.

That looks great on you.

It's not awkward at all.

Right?

What's going on?

Sir. I don't understand
what's going on either.

We received a tip
that Ma Sang-beom was dead, and...

I'm dead?

When did I die?

Oh Seong-taek chopped you up and--

That's what you just told us.

You gave us such details.

Seong-taek must've put the pieces
of him back together. Right?

Piece by piece.

That must be it.

That's right.

Get out.

-Sir.
-Get out, you bastards!

This shows the effects
of the extension of the Sinbundang Line.

As you can see,

if four stations are built
between Inbuk-dong and Gangnam,

it'll take 14 minutes
to get to Gangnam Station.

Everything in Gangnam
will be readily accessible.

You can also expect
property value to rise.

Just as the value of the apartments
near Pangyo Station

more than tripled in value in seven years

after the Sinbundang Line opened in 2011,

the value of apartments in Inbuk-dong
can also be expected to increase.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Han.

Next, Mr. Yang Jeong-guk.

Please state your position
regarding extending the subway line.

Is it necessary to extend the subway line?

No.

No. Our neighborhood
does not need a subway station.

That's my opinion.

I could promise to put in a subway line

to get a few more votes
and ask people to vote for me.

Sure, I could do that too.

But that's not right.

To be blunt,

how many of you will actually use
the subway to commute to work

if it's extended?

Tell me. How many?

No one.

Everyone has several cars.
Who would take the subway?

"We can take the subway
if there's traffic.

The subway is faster."

Those are all excuses.

Let's be a little more honest here.

Okay?

There's only one reason

we want the subway line.

Property value.

Property value!

Because a subway line
will raise property value.

Because you'll make money.

SEOWON POLICE STATION

Good work.

Hello?

Ma Sang-beom isn't dead.

What did you say?

Prosecutor Choi left already.
He didn't want to get involved in this.

If we can't pin Oh Seung-taek
for the murder of Ma Sang-beom,

we can't use anything we've gathered.

Including everything we have
on Baekkyung Capital.

What do you mean?

Why is Ma Sang-beom alive?

You said you received a tip.

Detective Jang got the call himself...

I think Park Hoo-ja planted this.

She used Oh Seong-taek
so that we won't be able to touch her.

What did you do?

So why were you so fixated on me?

That's why you missed the bigger picture.

Look at this mess.

Hey, you. Park Hoo-ja!

While I'm on the topic,
let me say something else.

All of you representing Seowon District.

When you heard that the subway line
could be built in Inseo-dong,

you picketed, protested,
and marched to City Hall.

That's what I heard.

Right?

Have some shame.

-Hey, Yang.
-You made enough money!

That's why you own an apartment

and drive several cars, am I wrong?

How dare you?

You've worked hard until now
turning me into your rival.

Your greed has no limits.

How dare you lecture me?

You rude little--

Let's share.

Let's share the wealth!

You little punk. Hey!

Since I'm here anyway,
I should file a civil complaint.

Don't hog all the beef for yourself.

If you have pork, share it around.
Pork is also delicious.

Who are you?

Where did you come from?

I'm a con artist!

A con artist.

That's right.

I'm a con artist.

God, that felt good.

Where's the Chief's office?

How long have you been Park Hoo-ja's mole?

What?

Okay.

Hey, you!

Stop it! What are you doing?

-Stop it. Come on.
-Let go of me!

You know why I'm here, don't you?

Even if you need the arrests,
the police shouldn't fabricate the case.

Should I file a national petition?

I heard that's the new trend.

Look here, Park Hoo-ja.

This isn't the 80s.

To accuse a businesswoman of murder
just because you don't like me.

Will you make this kind of mistake again,
yes or no?

I will never make

a mistake like this ever again.

No mistakes.

I apologize.

You know what happens
if this happens again.

You'll be hurt too.

That's up to you.

If this happens again, we'll make sure
we don't make any mistakes.

You still don't know your place.

Think about it.

If I were someone
you or Kim Mi-young could catch,

I...

wouldn't have come this far,

beating my older sisters
and all those highly educated men.

I'm not that easy. I'm very complicated.

Anyway, take proper disciplinary action
against those involved.

I'll check on it.

Particularly Kim Mi-young. Make her pay.

Don't try to let her off
with a forced vacation.

Work hard.
Don't forget to collect overtime pay.

Why that...

-Let us go.
-Uncuff me.

-Hurry.
-Is this your first time?

-Hurry it up.
-Seriously.

Thank you.

I told you

not to think about putting these on me.

I believe we have
some unfinished business.

-Let's go.
-Yes, sir.

Lieutenant, what happens to us now?

Why would anything happen to you?

I'm the one who pushed forward with it.

I'll be the only one taking the fall.

You both did your best.

Good work. I'm glad I kept you alive.

My pleasure. If you ever
need anything else...

That will never happen.

So scram.

Your face is making me sick.

Okay, I'll scram.

But Hoo-ja,

I clean up the chairman's
poop and pee every day,

but it's so much.

So, you know adult diapers? May I...

I won't use them.

It's best if I do it myself.

I'll go now. No, I'll scram.

Mr. Ma is poop and pee
Poop and pee is Mr. Ma

Mr. Ma is poop and pee
Poop and pee is Mr. Ma

I just can't like that man.

Everyone, go home. Good work.

Yes, ma'am.

Be careful.

Where to?

Let's go to the office.

But what happened with Jeong-guk?

-Here he comes.
-There.

Did the comment about being a con artist
have a political intention?

Why did you change the campaign strategy?

-The con artist...
-Okay!

Please tell us!

The statement about being a con artist
wasn't about himself,

but all the candidates at the debate.

They make false pledges they can't keep,

and once they are elected, they play dumb.

He was saying such politicians

are no different from con artists.

When you think about it,
we are all con artists.

Con artists that scam the citizens!

I hope you understand
the meaning behind it.

We'll explain the details later

through our written statement.

-One word, please!
-Mr. Yang!

-Please explain...
-Explain yourself...

-What did you mean?
-Look this way!

-What is the truth?
-Please give us...

Are you satisfied now?

While we're at it,

why don't you try hypnotizing people?

Let's go with the lunatic concept.

You have no right to talk like that.

You were wrong too.

Whatever. Do as you wish.

It's your life that'll be over, not mine.

Okay. You did well, Mr. Yang.

Starting tomorrow,
when you go campaigning,

make sure you wear a helmet
and a bulletproof vest.

People may attack you
with knives, rocks, and eggs.

I'm leaving then.

How many volunteers quit from our camp?

Twenty.

No, 21.

It's 22 now.

With Dong-il who just left, that's 23.

Dong-il quit too?

You chewed him out on TV.
Why would he stay?

He texted me earlier
saying he'll vote for Kang Su-il

because he despises you.

Well,

we can always hire new people.

I have you guys.

That's right. And Mr. Park.

You guys have my back.

Anyway.

I'll do my campaign
only with people I trust now.

Please do your best until the end.

Help me with the canvassing
starting tomorrow.

You want us to go out there with you?

What if your wife catches on?

-Me too?
-She already knows

that you guys work for me.

PARK HOO-JA

The person you have reached
is not available.

Please try again later.

Excuse us.

That's hot. So hot.

-Is it very hot?
-It's too hot.

If you majored in economics at Harvard,
did you know George Big?

We went backpacking together.

You know George?

-Yes.
-I know him well.

We're super close.

He loves kimchi fried rice.

He came over all the time to eat it.

He eats so much kimchi
and he's not even Korean.

What a grand name. George Big.

Who is George Big?

Who is he, that you went
backpacking with him?

Hubby.

You were with us, you stupid fool.

You were so into his little sister.

The more I start to remember,
the more I'm getting angry.

You still keep in touch with her,
don't you?

I do not.

You're the only woman I'm in touch with.

-I love you.
-Don't give me that.

-Give me your phone.
-Stop it.

-Stop that.
-Let me check.

-Stop it.
-Give it.

Go easy with drinks.

-Hey.
-Stop it.

Stop that.

Aren't you going to stop them?

They're fighting.

It's okay.
That's how they express their love.

They have seven kids.
Five boys and two girls.

I see. They must be madly in love.

Jeong-guk, about what
I said at the debate--

It's fine. I don't care.

All politicians are the same.

All politicians are the same...

Is that an insult?

You think it's a compliment then?

It's true.

You're all highly educated.

Every politician out there
went to a prestigious college

but they always seem to forget things.

If you can't remember
and don't know anything,

how did you manage to study? Am I wrong?

I'm not here to apologize to you
and ask you for your forgiveness.

That's not it.

I just wanted to say this one thing.

I hope your disappointment
in me as a politician

will not extend into a disappointment

in me as a person.

That's what I came to say.

The only thing I hear is,

"I will keep disappointing you
going forward."

That's what it sounds like to me.

People do politics,
and people created politics.

So how could I
not be disappointed in people?

Don't try to weasel out of it
with such nonsense.

Just focus on your campaign.

It will be embarrassing if you lose to me.

Bye, then.

I heard you earlier.

I heard what you said to Kim Ju-myeong

before the debate.

What civil complaint did you file

against Mi-young?

Tell me right now.

What did you do to Mi-young?

Why were you talking
about Mi-young to him?

Does your running for office...

have to do with Mi-young?

If you had asked me this
just a few hours ago,

my answer would've been different.

But now,

I'll answer you like you did.

I do not know.

I can't seem to recall.

Let's go.

-Okay. Bye.
-Goodbye.

-Hey.
-Here it is!

Josephina Big.

Josephina.

-You're dead.
-Let go!

You're dead.

Get over here.

What happened?

I did my best.

I'm sure I'll be suspended
for a month or two.

We were done in by that jerk
who took bribes.

Why should you be punished?

Because we have no evidence.

It's best to say I lost my mind
and lost control.

You said one of us
was on the take from Park Hoo-ja.

Let's find that person first.

If we investigate that scumbag,
we'll be able to find some evidence.

It's okay.

I told you I don't want to suspect
and get angry at each other.

Let's just wait it out.

The weather's so nice.

And I'm not in the mood to work.

Let's ditch work.

If we get caught,
we'll say it's my farewell party.

Let's go.

Come on.

Help the detectives while I'm gone.

Don't just doze off all the time.

Okay. I will, Lieutenant.

Let's drink.

Two more bottles of soju, please.

Okay.

By the way, are there really
many detectives that are on the take

and cover for bad guys like some movies?

No, there aren't.

Only worthless pieces of trash do that.

How could a cop do that?

They're total garbage.

Total garbage...

Those bastards who take bribes...

We should have their guts yanked
out of their bodies and chew them up.

I'm telling you, we should chew up
all of those rotten sleazeballs.

A rotten sleazeball...

In movies, people that look
like Detective Lee

take bribes and stuff

and get shot to death
by the protagonist at the end.

What are you talking about, punk?

Why do you watch strange movies like that?

You should study, punk!

You look stupid.

Do you know the quadratic formula?
Recite it.

You're dead meat if you can't.

Calm down, Detective Lee.

Why are you picking on him?

It's not like you really took a bribe.

You're so strange.

It's okay.

It's because he made a joke
about how I look.

Yeong-sik, go home.

Go home and learn the quadratic formula.

The adults need to talk.

Go on.

-I'll go then.
-Bye.

And you should wear black clothes. Okay?

It's me, Lieutenant.

I'm the one that Park Hoo-ja bribed.

After that fake real estate broker scam,

I received a call from an unknown number.

She asked me to meet her,
so I went to see her.

Why are you giving this to me?

I hear your entire family lives abroad,

and that you send them money.

I'm lending you money without collateral
so your children can study comfortably.

Our company ranks detectives the highest.

Detectives always give us
as much as we give them,

unlike politicians.

But I really didn't know about this case.

I don't know
if she didn't trust me, but...

I really...

You took all of our phones.

She took--

You disgusting worm.

You shit.

-Stop it.
-You bastard.

Stop it.

-That hurts.
-What's wrong with you?

-That's enough. Stop.
-Just die!

-He's a cop.
-How could you?

Come here, Detective.

Let's do this.

Park Hoo-ja will continue
doing bad things,

and I'll be back after my suspension ends.

Stay with her until then.

What do you mean?

I'll bury your bribery matter.

So repay me with something huge later.

Go back and forth between us.

Why would you bury it?
You should lock him up.

Pipe down, punk. She's talking.

So you're saying, if I play a big part

in bringing Park Hoo-ja down,

you'll forget that I took money from her?

You confessed. You should redeem yourself.

Just stay out of trouble while I'm out.

Of course. I'll be good
and quiet as a mouse.

Our lieutenant is so cool.

I thought so from the first time we met.

You're totally my type.

But before that,

may I hit that jerk Dal-sik

just once in the face?

I'm just so angry.

She's drunk.

Let's go, Detective Gu.

You know that Bo-yeon was
a boxing champion, right?

You're dead, bastard.

Hey, Dal-sik. I'm going
to talk down to you just for today.

Get over here, punk.

-You little...
-You're doing great.

-Just kill him.
-Detective Gu!

Because of you, our...

-It's so nice out.
-Hey!

One, two, three, four.

How many times must I tell him?

I'm sorry. I overslept.

I usually wake up at 6:00 a.m.
with the roosters--

You said you never overslept in your life.

That's what you told me.

Exactly. It's my first experience
oversleeping,

I'm very flustered. I'm whipping myself
so that I never do it again.

Whatever. Either learn
how to drive or sleep less.

You can't do anything well
except for studying.

Even last time,

I said to get anything but coffee
because I couldn't sleep,

and you brought me coffee.

I told you over and over
that I missed the "but."

I heard you say, "Get any coffee."

You always make excuses.

Even this.

-You are the one who ordered it, right?
-Yes.

I told you numerous times
that I shouldn't digest pork.

Every single one is stir-fried pork.

Oh, my.

Oh, my!

What's this?

Deodeok and pork belly?

It's mine. I'm sorry.

Only yours is an expensive one.
Only yours.

Go and help the others.

Earn the deodeok and pork belly.

Perfect, perfect
Yang Jeong-guk is perfect

-Forget it. Just go.
-Yes, sir.

Seriously.

He has no shame.

PARK HOO-JA

Jeong-guk!

Let me eat, will you? What is it?

I will help you
since I know your situation. But...

-But?
-Don't you think

70,000 won per day is too cheap
to be honest?

You can't do that
just because I'm your sister.

Listen, Mi-jin. According to the election
laws, it's illegal to pay more.

-That's the law.
-That's a stupid law.

You should at least pay the minimum wage.

I'm quite the worker.

To be honest, I'm fine.

But they'll quit

if we say they'll be paid
70,000 won per day.

What will you do?
Will you pay more, or should I quit?

Are you threatening your brother?

Of course, I am.

Does this sound like a favor?

I spoke way too nicely.

I have no money.

What do you mean?

A hundred punches for every penny I find.

-Get up. Let me check.
-Stop that.

-Get up. Let me check.
-Hey.

You'll make me spill.

Hey. Stop fooling around like idiots

-and just get lost.
-Mi-jin.

Are you okay?

Jeong-guk!

Why are you here?

I don't know. That punk with the moustache
brought me, too.

Where are we?

-Mi-jin.
-I'm scared.

Mi-jin, calm down. Calm down for now.

Nothing will happen, so...

Give me a break.

What do you mean, nothing will happen?

We're here to make sure something happens.

Who's she?

Her? Jeong-guk's younger sister.

I brought her too
since they were together.

He's your older brother?

You are so unlucky
to have a brother like him.

Mi-jin, don't be scared.

Trust me.

Trust me, and I'll get you out of--

-Who are you?
-What?

I... I'm not that jerk's sister.
I met him today.

Calm down. Trust your big brother.

Why are you saying you're my big brother,
you lunatic?

You're a total stranger.

Yang Mi-jin! Snap out of it!

Hey, mister!

You snap out of it, you lunatic!

Look. Miss... I mean, Ma'am.

I met that jerk for the first time today.

I came to do a part-time job,

and I was arguing with him
for paying us so little.

I did nothing wrong. Please spare me.

Look, Chairman Park.
My sister did nothing wrong.

Why am I your sister?

Let's let her go.

I don't know why
I was brought here again, but...

Then why was I brought here?

Let my sister go... Stop talking.

Let's talk after letting my sister go.

All you need is me.

I'll see how you behave.

Make her unconscious
until we're done talking.

She's too noisy.

Yes, ma'am.

-Stay away.
-Hey!

-Don't you dare!
-No!

-He's going to hit me!
-Hey!

She's mentally ill!

You poor thing...

Mi-jin.

-Mi-jin.
-Hey.

Hey.

Mi-jin!

Mi-jin!

Mi-jin!

Mi-jin!

Shut it.

We don't have much time.

I enjoyed the debate. You were good.

It was a load of gibberish.

You brought it upon yourself!

If you hadn't messed with Mi-young...

No. If you hadn't messed with our dad,
none of this would've happened.

Let's not go there.

Things have gotten way too complicated
between us.

Explain it to him.

Han Sang-jin, 28.

Kang Su-il, 35.

Yang Jeong-guk,

3.9.

These are the results
of the previous poll.

You know, don't you?

It is 11:55 a.m. now.

In exactly five minutes,

the second pre-election poll results
will be out.

The results will determine
what happens to you.

What do you mean?

What will happen to me?

Your previous rating was 3.9.

For every 0.1 points
you drop in this poll,

we will take one of your fingers.

If it drops by 0.1, your thumb.

If it drops by 0.2, your index finger.

If it drops by 0.3...

This one. Your middle finger.

If it drops by 0.5, then...

You lose your entire left hand.

If it drops by one percent...

You'll have to eat with your feet.

If your rating drops by
more than one percent...

It's off with your head.

I told you, didn't I?

That if you plan to mess with me,

you should put your life
on the line first.

That's right.

You must be confused.

I'm not the same man I was before.

I'm a candidate for the Assembly now.

You can't touch me anymore.

That's who I am!

We'll just circulate a video
of you dropping out of the election.

Within a month,
no one will even think about you.

"Oh, I remember the guy.
I wonder what he's up to these days."

That's the extent they'll think about you.

-Look, Chairman Park--
-Shut your mouth.

Shut your mouth, and don't say a word.

I'm sick of listening to you now.

You should've done better
when I had it all set up for you.

What was that?

You acted like a moron on TV.

We have three minutes left now.

Wait three minutes.

After three minutes,

your fate will be decided.

CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK

CANDIDATE NUMBER 5
YANG JEONG-GUK

Why is everyone working so hard,

that no one is at the office?

It's over, anyway.

How many more minutes?

One minute.

One minute.

Thirty seconds.

-Okay.
-Chairman Park.

Those polls are meaningless.

They often differ from the actual results.

Silence.

Keep your mouth shut.

I won't repeat myself.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

-Our Father who art...
-Two.

One.

It's time.

Speak. What percent?

Kang Su-il got 40?

It went up five percent?

I don't understand.
Is the heaven helping him or something?

And?

How about Han Sang-jin?

What did Han Sang-jin get?

He got 32?

I see. Han Sang-jin got 32.

No.

Damn it. He took all of our votes.

How annoying.

How much did Yang Jeong-guk get?

How much did our candidate's rating drop?

What?

Ten?

Ten?

Ten?

Ten percent?

Exactly ten?

Hey. Did you see that correctly?

Check again.

It's really ten percent?

I got ten percent?

-Yes.
-That's impossible.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

Anyway, okay.

Find out exactly how he got ten percent.

Okay, then.

Why don't you get some rest
before you go, Mr. Yang?

I can see you've worked hard.

Assemblyman Kim?
Where are you? Let's meet.

You got ten percent? Really?

You're the best.

I love you. You know I love you, right?

BRAVE CITIZEN YANG JEONG-GUK
WILL BRAVELY CHANGE THINGS

How did this happen?

I think we found diamonds
while taking a step backwards.

EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE

CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK
RECEIVES 10% IN THE POLLS

CANDIDATES' WIVES WORK HARD ON CAMPAIGN

Hi, Mom.

Eat before it gets cold.

Okay.

You got a one-month suspension.

Is that so?

Think of it as a break from work

and rest for a month.

I'll hold your desk for you.

Thank you.

And Mi-young,

you need to resolve
Jeong-guk's matter soon.

How do I do that?

You can't let him keep doing that.

To be blunt, what if Park Hoo-ja
retaliates or something?

I'll make sure she doesn't.

How can you do that?

If he loses the election,

you can't do anything then.

It's not like you can follow him
24 hours a day.

Then what?

I need to stay locked up at home.

I can't do anything.

What do you want me to do?

Why can't you do anything?

People willing to vote for you said these.

"He was cool during the debate."

"I was shocked that he called himself

and the other candidates con artists.
He was brave."

"He seems ignorant.

But ignorant people make
great politicians."

"He's handsome"?

That's gibberish.

"He's passionate enough
to overcome his fear of losing

and express his honest opinions.

And his biting remarks
that were like boiling lava

made my heart thrash..."

Did this punk write a poem or something?

There are so many freaks out there.

Anyway, these are the general opinions
about you.

But there's a lot of talk about your wife.

-About Mi-young?
-Yes, some say

they'll vote for you,
but they aren't sure yet.

About three to four percent.

They say,

"Why doesn't his wife
help with his campaign?

Is there a problem between them?

If there is, I can't vote for him.

If he can't communicate with his wife,

how will he communicate with the people?"

Let's ask Mi-young for help.

She must have time to kill.

You can't say that.

Not after what you did to her.

Your wife isn't dead, so drop it.

Think only about the election.

Must I remind you
what happens if you lose?

I'm tired of repeating myself.

No!

If I lose, I lose.
I can't ask her to help me with this.

I couldn't even keep one little promise.
How will I face her again if I ask her--

Why can't you do anything?

Let's save him first, okay?

Even if he messed up,
he's still the man you love.

Who else could help him but you?

He's your husband.

Isn't there something I can do here?

We'll adjust our strategy completely.

"We won't make empty pledges."

"We'll be a refreshing breath of cool air

to people exhausted by politicians' lies."

Let's do that.

If you decide to work with me,

I'll have Yang Jeong-guk drop out
and give you all of his votes.

That'll be hard.
If I don't win the election, so be it.

Then why did you change your position?

You look like you'll get tainted,
compromise,

and all of that
once you get into the Assembly.

What do you say? Will you work with me?
