AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED )

I told him to plow the field,

but that ox has been
planning something else.

Did that idiot forget who his owner is?

Who's your owner, idiot?

It's me. I'm your owner.

I'm your owner, you son of a bitch.

(ASSEMBLYMAN SONG HUI-SEOP)

Small mistakes can ruin one's life.

You were enjoying your drink.
What's wrong?

There's this stupid ox
who won't listen to its owner.

(JANG TAE-JUN)

Mr. Lee, you know what we do
with an ox that won't do as it's told?

You put a nose ring on the ox
and drag it around.

That way, it won't go astray.

Yes.

Hold off Tae-jun's campaign club
for a while.

I can't put a saddle on him
before putting on the bridle.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

(ASSEMBLYMAN SONG HUI-SEOP)

One by one,

I built up everything, but it only takes
one moment for it to collapse.

You left your phone on the subway.

- Thank you.
- He must be an acquaintance.

He looks very ill. Are you all right?

It's none of your business.

Please excuse me.

(ROOM 803, SHIN J GYEONG)

(LAUNDRY)

A car suddenly falls
into the road by the harbor.

The car was passing by on the overpass
that was 100m above...

What's so interesting?
Why are you staring at me?

Because I'm proud of you.

You've been out studying so late.
You finally came to your senses.

You'll surely pass
this civil service exam.

You've never really
concentrated on your studies.

But I know you're very smart
because you take after me. Right?

Right.

Mom, if I fail the exam again,

I'm thinking of going
into a different field.

Like what?

Well, you know, if I fail. As a plan B.

You know, if you fail,
I'll kill you and kill myself too.

Stop talking nonsense.

There is no better job
than a civil servant in this day and age.

Next on the news.

- During this year's audit...
- I'm just saying.

Bugang Electronics' unfair dismissal

- became the hot potato.
- I can't believe this nonsense.

They're always fighting
and wasting my tax money.

Darn it. I don't know
how this country is still going strong.

The audit began with a battle
over choosing the witness.

Eat up.

You're eating so well.

Although they chose CEO Lee Chang-jin

of Joojin Chemical,
who illegally transferred the company...

Please excuse me.

Yes, it was "Shin Jae-gyeong."

"Yun Hye-won"? "Reporter Yun Hye-won"?

Ms. Yun?

He reacted so emotionally. This is a mess.

You even steal now?

Stealing?

If you had such an important thing,
you should have kept it well.

Mr. Song went home.

Hey, Tae-jun.

It's great that you're diligent,
but don't work too hard.

You and I are
nothing but those old men's servants.

We bite and crawl on their order.

That's how we can get something from them.

- I just feel bad for you.
- What are you doing?

Don't call him until he looks for you.

He's in a foul mood right now.

Go take a good shower
and pull yourself together.

(SUAN SAUNA)

I'm almost done.

His testimony is rather detailed,

so we could definitely make
a counterattack against Mr. Park.

I'll expose this at the press conference.

Can you delay that a little?

- What's going on?
- I'll tell you in person.

Kim In-gyu is

my final card.

I need him.

Okay. I'll wait here.

Okay.

This year's
Inspection of State Administration

came to an end
after today's General Inspection.

During the audit
of the Judiciary Committee,

the Minister of Justice was
held responsible for perjury.

Mr. Park attended
the General Inspection and denied

his charges for delaying
the investigation of Bugang Electronics

by giving pressure
to the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office.

It looks like he is responsible

with the exposure of new evidence
of his regular meetings...

- Mr. Song, one second, please.
- We'll talk later. Where's Mr. An?

- I told him to come to the restaurant.
- Let's go.

Follow me in your car.
You'll see something interesting.

- Where's Seon-yeong?
- She isn't in the office,

and Mr. Go has been avoiding my calls.

Find her.
Find her and tell her to come in now!

Yes, sir.

Why is Mr. An here?

He's the guy

who handed over
Mr. Song's files to Mr. Jo.

I found the source
of the flash drive that you had.

Go inside.

- It's Jang Tae-jun.
- Come in.

Mr. Song...

Mr. An.

I told you that I'll find you an office
at a proper time. Didn't I?

How dare you go around my back
and talk to Jo Gap-yeong?

I'm sorry.

I must have lost my mind.

Well, you better go find it now.

Do you know what I threw away first
when I became an assemblyman?

My sense of shame.

You can be in politics
only after throwing that out.

Who do you think is the most pitiful
type of people in the world?

Penniless ones with good brains.

Despite having anything,

they kid themselves thinking
they achieved everything on their own.

It doesn't matter if you're an ox
or a man.

You'll only come to your senses
when you're starving.

Right.

What happened to the team leader
of Bugang's Finance Team?

Was his name Kim In-gyu?

Yes, we're taking his testimony right now.

I'll deal with him as soon as she's done.

- Did you say Ms. Kang is with him?
- Yes.

Kim In-gyu is the core witness
of Mr. Park's corruption.

We need to use him to destroy a minister.

Are you sure you can leave him with her?

Ms. Kang is trustworthy.

No one is trustworthy around here!

Everyone tries to get ahead of you
whenever they see a weakness, don't they?

Mr. Song.

I kept the flash drive
to find out who wrote the files.

But I should have consulted you first.
I apologize.

I know.

These things can happen while you work.

I doubt you'd stab me
in the back like that.

I trust you.

If I don't trust you,
how can I hand over my position to you?

- Isn't that so?
- Yes.

I need to see Kim In-gyu.

There's no need for you to do that.

I'll take care of...

Where is Kang Seon-yeong?

Great work.

I called the prosecution.
They'll take this into regard.

Thank you.

- What about the press release?
- The secretary is putting it together.

Once this is released,

you'll be recognized
by everyone in no time.

We need to end this well.

(KIM HYEONG-DO)

I keep getting calls from Mr. Jo's office.
What should I do?

- What about Jungil-gu's budget?
- It went in at 2 p.m.

Once it passes, we'll get a call.

Stall for more time
until the budget proposal is passed.

- I can't let Mr. Jo ruin this.
- Yes.

- Let's wrap up.
- Okay.

(MR. OH:
MS. KANG IS WITH MR. KIM)

What?

Mr. Jo, I found out where Ms. Kang is.

- Where is she?
- She's at Hotel Chantier.

And she's with Kim In-gyu.

What?

Turn the car around!

That must be Mr. Jang.

What brings you here, Mr. Song?

Is he Kim In-gyu?

- Did you get his testimony?
- Yes.

It'll be a huge blow for Mr. Park

when I disclose this
at the press conference.

You did so much for me,
so I'm worried about you.

If you disclose this yourself,

Jo Gap-yeong will find out
that you helped me out.

Do you think he'll leave you alone?

I'll take that.

I can't let you keep
something this dangerous.

I'll take good care of it.

- Won-sik.
- Yes.

Mr. Song, but we prepared this.

I don't think it's right
for you to take this.

You don't think it's right?

Ms. Kang, I thought you were on my side.

That's what I thought.

I am.

Give it to him.

- I got it.
- Good.

In that case, I need to put a seal on you

that proves you're on my side.

(ASSEMBLYMAN JO GAP-YEONG)

Yes, Mr. Jo.

I'll call you again.

Mr. Jo, it's this room.

You were plotting against me
in a place like this?

So, you've been digging a pit for me?

You ungrateful brat. I got you here.

Mr. Kim.

How did you find us?

Gosh, you're so slow.

Hey, do you still not get it?

Mr. Oh told us where you were, you fool.

So why did you keep on changing sides?

Ms. Kang is finished.

What will you do now?

Oxen who won't listen to their owner

need to be branded by fire
to make sure they don't run away.

Let me see.

Hey, you're branded.

All right, let's go.

Mr. Song.

Please let me wrap this up. I'll do it.

It's okay.

I'll manage.

Instead of that, you should
go down to the district office.

- What?
- Things are pretty tough there, right?

Yes.

It's the redevelopment of Seobuk Market.

They can't seem to settle.

Please go take care of that.

It was beyond my capacity.

But the minister nomination is still...

I'll manage that, so don't worry about it.

- Mr. Song.
- It's a troublesome issue.

Who else can manage something like this?

You know
Lee Chang-jin is in charge of that.

You should convince the merchants
so that they don't get offended.

You know, hold their hands and stuff.
And you can use this chance

to take a good look around the district.

Mr. Song.

Stop being so desperate.

This isn't like you.

Ms. Kang.

The budget proposal got rejected.

The door is closing.

- Did you pick up the mail?
- Yes.

Here you go.

Did something happen?

- The reshuffle season has begun.
- The reshuffle season?

Many staff transfers happen
after every annual audit.

If the results aren't good,

assemblymen replace their entire staff.

Then where do those people go?

They're getting kicked out,
so they have nowhere to go.

They'll find something else.

We get discarded
the moment we become useless.

We're like mayflies.

The average length of employment here
is less than five years.

That's how competitive this field is.

Darn it.

Do-gyeong. Log on to the system and print
the document on the administration bill.

Pardon me? "The administration bill"?

- Do you know how to access our intranet?
- No.

But if you teach me, I'll do it.

- Anyone can do it if they're taught.
- Yes, okay.

- Ms. Yun.
- Yes?

Show this guy how to access our intranet.

Make some time to train him.
Who else will do it if you don't?

Okay. Mr. Han, come and have a seat here.

Okay.

Hit the control key twice
or right-click on your mouse two times,

and you can log in.

You probably won't get a username
for a while, so use mine for now.

Now, you know how to log in, right?

Yes, hit the control key
or right-click on the mouse twice.

Then would you mind
going back to your desk?

I have a lot to do.

Here, have a seat.

Hello, Seung-u. I went through the e-mail.

Our stance on the whistle-blower
is reflected,

but it doesn't say anything
about the bill.

Yes. It'd be good to allude
to the fact that we may need

to revise the bill.

Yes, thank you. I'll be in touch.

Ms. Yun.

Were you a journalist?

- Sorry?
- I read the article you wrote.

The man at the hospital yesterday...

Isn't he the one who blew the whistle
on Hanjang Constructions?

Shin Jae-gyeong, right?

I read up on some of
the past whistle-blower cases,

and I think there's a way we can help him.

There's a program that provides
financial assistance for

living expenses, medical bills,
and scholarships.

I wanted to see if he's eligible
for the program.

Mr. Han.

Yes.

I told you
that it's none of your business.

Well, I just want to help.

We should look for ways to...

I've already tried looking
for every possible way to help him.

Stop worrying about things like this
and focus on your tasks.

I know you worked so hard all night.
I'm really sorry.

You had no choice.

I would've done the same thing
if I were you.

I guess I underestimated Mr. Song.

I mean, he was a prosecutor,
and this is his fourth term.

I've worked so hard for him.

He doesn't have the minister title yet.

The Blue House still needs to vet
and officially appoint him.

There are many variables,
so he probably still needs you.

He knows that too.

That's why he took the file on Kim In-gyu.

He'll try to strike a deal
with the minister using it.

Look at these dragons
engraved on his nameplate.

I'm here to check out the office
of the Minister of Justice.

When you're house hunting,

you must do a thorough check to make sure
there's nothing wrong with the house.

Since it'll be your home.

You're talking

as if you've already been appointed.

Well, it'll probably happen soon.

Sir.

The statement for the press conference
is ready.

This looks good, but it's missing a word.

Let's see.

Pass me a pen.

Let me borrow your pen.

Okay, thanks.

Right here...

(RESIGN)

I think...

"Resign."

I think it'll look better with this word.

Enough, Mr. Song.

"Enough"? Look who's talking.

You shouldn't be
in another person's position this long!

The prosecution will make sure
Kim In-gyu doesn't talk,

but who's going to silence me?

Who can dare to do it?

When you're revising your statement,
you should take a look at this as well.

It'll tell you what else you should add

if you wish to avoid further humiliation.

It'll also tell you whom you should be
recommending as your replacement.

If this is troublesome for you,

then shall I go meet
with the Chief Presidential Secretary?

The tea is already cold.

I'll give you a few days.

Take your time and think it over,
Mr. Park.

This table...
Jeez, this doesn't suit my taste.

Oh, boy. This table should be...

The Minister of Justice is
at the forefront of the government reform.

If he is ruined like this,

all the reform bills won't pass.

The Blue House
won't want to take such a risk.

That's why he's trying to cut a deal now.

Then I guess Mr. Song
will get what he wants.

- What about you though?
- If things pan out like this,

I have no idea what to expect.

I suppose Assemblyman Song
got us under his thumb.

The door is closing

I thought the audit would make him a star,

but that damn sign ruined it all.

Damn. And it's still causing us
such a headache.

Is this office cursed or what?

Every assemblyman here
encounters a mishap.

Shall we work for someone else?

Mr. Lee is a good person though.

What are you saying?

- What brings you by?
- Is Mr. Lee here?

He's visiting the district. What's up?

It's nothing. Have a good day.

Mr. Jang.

This is Mr. Song's schedule
for this week. There are some changes.

Wait.

You can give it to me.

Starting today,
you can submit all your reports to me.

Mr. Jang will work in the district office
for a short while.

I can use your desk
while you're gone, right?

That room is a bit cold
because it doesn't get much sun.

Sure, go ahead.

You should go through these.

They're important events
he needs to attend.

And these reports are awaiting approval.

And...

What? Go on.

The leaflets for the committee are here,

and all the documents for this term
are organized here.

Ms. Yun and Ms. No, prepare the rest of...

Okay, I heard you.

I'll figure out the rest.

You should rush
to attend the briefing at 4 p.m.

I prepared all the materials for you.

All right, then.

You should take him too.

You'll have a lot of work to do,
so I feel bad sending you alone.

- Hey, Do-gyeong.
- Yes, sir.

Go work at the district office
with Mr. Jang.

- You can do that, right?
- Me?

Even just as an intern, you need to learn
how things are done there.

Stay glued to Mr. Jang
and learn as much as you can.

Understood, sir.

If there are any problems,
let me know right away.

Yes, sir.

What's all this stuff? Jeez.

What's going on?

Why are you going to the district office?

I'll be back soon.

Keep me updated on Mr. Song's situation.

- On what Mr. Oh is up to as well.
- Got it.

I'm ready.

- What are you doing?
- I'll drive, sir.

- Sit on the other side.
- Oh, okay.

See you.

Drive safely.

- Sir, wait.
- What?

You need to tell me what's going on
so that we can be prepared.

What can I do? It's the mayor's order.

Stop following me already.

I have nothing else to tell you.

Sir, please.

Well, the budget
for the lone-parent project is one thing.

But suddenly cut the support fund
for the center?

Sir.

Sir!

Sir, shall I follow you around like this
all day long?

Let me focus, will you?

Jeez, you're too much.

Please help us focus on our work.

Gosh...

Sir.

Goodness.

The Jungil-gu Office had budget cuts,

so they're saying they can't give us
any more support.

If they completely pull support,

we won't even be able to feed the kids.

I'll do everything in my power to help.

Don't worry too much.

Ms. Kang, Jungil-gu will continue to
provide support until the end of the year,

but things may change next year.

We'll work on next year's budget.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you.

Tell the reporters not to bother the kids

and to focus more on the facility itself.

Yes, ma'am.

- You all heard that, right?
- Yes.

Thank you so much. My gosh.

We really appreciate it.

SHIN SU-MIN)

Is this person new?

Yes, her name is Shin Su-min.
She came here a week ago.

I told you not to let anyone in!

She's being extra sensitive,
knowing that the reporters are here.

The mayor of Jungil-gu
visited our center last month.

Su-min's face appeared
on the news that day,

and her family came to see her
because of it.

I had no idea.

Please don't use any of the photos
that you took today.

I apologize.

We'll send you a press release.

We're sorry.

Please understand.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

May I go in quickly and meet her?

We should've been more careful.

My apologies.

-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

So, how many weeks?

Just take your pictures and leave.

Stop bothering me.

You don't like that I'm here, right?

Did you think everyone here
would welcome you with a big smile?

You only act as if you care.

You're here to take such photos
so that you can use us.

You're such a hypocrite.

You're right.

I am here to use you, indeed.

Like you said,

I'll tell everyone
that I visited this center today.

And I'll use that to secure funding.

Sure, I suppose it could look fake.

But it's my job.

You can criticize me.

I'm here to listen.

You're pissing me off.

You should use me as well, Su-min.

The things that you want to do
and the challenges that you have.

We can help you with them.

How about we think
that we're helping each other?

I'm not here to kill time.

I'm here because I truly want to help.

I totally mean it.

(REDEVELOPMENT OF SEOBUK MARKET)

Because of Seobuk Market,

I read up on the past redevelopment cases
of traditional markets.

In many cases, the projects got delayed
because of the conflicts

between the building owners' association
and the vendors.

There's a case like that
in Seongjin City too.

Can we have some silence?

Yes, sir.

The Minister of Justice
hasn't released an official statement yet,

but according to Blue House officials,

they are preparing to appoint
his successor,

and Assemblyman Song Hui-seop,

who made notable contributions
to the audit, is one of the candidates.

Assemblyman Song
worked as a prosecutor for years,

and since the 17th legislative election...

(ASSEMBLYMAN SONG HUI-SEOP'S
DISTRICT OFFICE)

- Hello, it's been a while.
- Hello.

How have you been?

Hello. I'm Han Do-gyeong, an intern.

I'm Lee Jin-a.

Where are the materials
for the Seobuk Market briefing?

I put it over there.

(REDEVELOPMENT OF SEOBUK MARKET)

So...

- Is this all you prepared?
- Yes.

Let's clean first.

Yes, sir.

Then how are we supposed to do business
while the building is going up?

The wait won't be long.

When the new building is completed,

your numbers will go up.

Must you really make all this fuss?

You're saying that
because you own the building.

You'll raise the rent
when the building is completed!

Then we won't be able to afford our rent!
You selfish jerks!

Please calm down!

The permit has already been issued.

You're causing a lot of trouble
for us here.

Someone from Assemblyman Song Hui-seop's
office is coming, so listen to...

Listen to what?

How much did you get paid
to talk such bullshit?

- Hello.
- Long time no see.

Oh, boy. What is happening now?

They won't even listen. It's a hot mess.

They're doing this
to get more compensation.

It's so obvious.

The majority approved of this matter!

- Why do this now...
- That's bullshit!

Mr. Jang.

You know that many local notables
have invested in this project.

We need to start the construction.

Yes, let's get this sorted out together.

Over there!
Assemblyman Song's chief of staff is here.

Let go of him, please.

- Oh, there he is.
- Is it that guy?

That man over there
works in the local office.

That guy leads the vendor association.
He's a handful.

Why isn't Mr. Song here?

What? You're his chief of staff?

He shook our hands and begged us
to vote for him before.

Where's the assemblyman that
promised us to revive traditional markets?

He couldn't make it.
I'm here on his behalf.

I'm his chief of staff, Jang Tae-jun.

So, you're a nobody.

You don't even know what's going on.
How are you going to help us?

Where is Assemblyman Song?

- Bring him!
- Please let go of him.

- Go bring him!
- We're...

We're looking for ways
to compensate all of you properly.

We're looking for a temporary site
where you can continue

with your business
during the construction.

- We can also support...
- Don't lie to my face!

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Even in Seongjin City, all the vendors
ended up getting kicked out!

How are you going to resolve this?

- We want a solution!
- No, don't do this!

Are you all right, sir?

Here, sir.

Here's your wallet.

Thank you.

Cheer up.

Sir, I’ll try my best to deal with
the neighborhood's noise complaints

at the public hearing.

Goodbye, then.

We even have to deal
with noise complaints now?

It's also our job to help the residents
communicate with each other.

Okay, sir.

What are you doing here?

I dropped by on my way
to the district office.

- Hello, Mr. Lee.
- Hey.

You're the thief who stole our file.

Yes.

My name is Han Do-gyeong.
I'm so sorry about what happened.

It's okay.

You have to make mistakes
in order to learn.

He used to be a lot worse than you.

No one had anything good to say about him.

Really? Mr. Jang?

I hired him
when I was a secretary officer.

My gosh, cut it out.

- Go and wait for me in the car.
- Okay.

Bye.

Looking at him reminds me of

back when we used to work so hard

at the district office.

Back then, you were just a kid.

You sound like an old man.
Why do you keep talking about the past?

I heard you agreed to compensate.

I'm sure it'll cost a lot.

- Where will you get all that money?
- I put my house up as collateral.

What? That's the only thing you own.

You should've asked the NFS
to do an investigation.

You didn't even tell Ms. Kang about this,
did you?

My gosh, you are so stubborn.

My goodness.

Why are you taking out
your frustration on me?

Seobuk Market isn't easy, is it?

But don't push ahead with it too much.

The business has been on hold
for three years.

If we don't deal with it fast,
it'll only cause bigger damage.

So what?

You're actually going to proceed with it?

What other choice do we have?

At this rate, both sides will suffer.

Partial damage is inevitable

for the development and benefit
of the district.

Tae-jun.

I know you need to get support
from the local big shots

in order to get nominated
as a candidate for Uigwang City.

But...

it'd be nice if you didn't focus on that
just this once.

You may think it's partial,
but that is everything to them.

People who own a lot don't collapse
just because they lose one thing.

But when it comes to them,

that one thing is equivalent
to everything.

The amount of pressure
is completely different to them.

I know that.

And that shouldn't happen.

But is there a way to satisfy
both parties?

No.

Politics exists
for the good of the people.

If you focus on that,
you'll be able to find a way.

I may not have found the answer,

but I'm sure you'll be able to.

What are you talking about?

Why are you making me do something
you couldn't even do yourself?

I really shouldn't have come.

You did nothing but mess with my head.
I'll be off.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

- Hello?
- I heard the presentation was a mess.

You really should've been better prepared.

Did you read what I sent you?

I'm sure it'll be of help.

What do you want?

You're so cold-hearted.
I called because I was worried.

Mr. Song wanted me to tell you

that you can come back
once you deal with Seobuk Market.

But then again, that could take forever.

Darn it.

Mr. Jang.

What should I do
with the presentation materials?

Throw them out.

- We're going to make new ones.
- Okay.

Organize the opinions of the union members

and the merchants
regarding the reconstruction.

Give him the materials
you’ve gathered until now.

Okay.

Thank you.

Mr. Jang, I noticed
that a lot of the merchants are

constantly uploading complaints
on the official city website.

Should I include them as well?

- Sure, go ahead.
- Okay, sir.

We worked so hard to get this interview.

It's sad that we must
pass it over like this.

We can always schedule another interview.

Well, yes.

But I don't get why you need
to accompany Mr. Song as well.

He has me over a barrel,
so there's nothing I can do.

- Mr. Song.
- My goodness.

That's a very pretty necktie.

It'll come out great on camera.

I should listen to you
since you're the professional.

People should follow what professionals
tell them to do without questioning them.

But for some unknown reason,

they just don't listen.

The interview will proceed
based on the questionnaire.

But it's a live show, so there might be
a few unexpected questions.

Ms. Kim enjoys embarrassing assemblymen
and assemblywomen.

Really? I see.

And here you go, sir.

It's the women's project
I told you about last time.

Jungil-gu is in charge of the project,

but I'm having a hard time
due to a problem with the budget.

Oh, I see.

You're trying to do something good here,
so I should help you out.

You can plan a new budget

by making this a project
of the National Assembly.

I'll help you out,

so try sorting things out
with the budget committee.

Thank you, sir.

- Let's go now.
- Yes, let's go.

- Bye, sir.
- See you.

Hello.

How's everything?

Mr. Song went to the broadcasting station

with Ms. Kang to do an interview.

Ms. Kang's helping him build
a public image.

He needs to build a kind image

in order to get nominated as the minister.

What's Mr. Oh up to?

He's meeting the chairperson
of the Judiciary Committee.

- Chairperson Lee?
- Yes, Chairperson Lee.

With Mr. Jo out of the picture,

he's the most influential person
in the party.

He's going to make him recommend Mr. Song
with the support of the ruling party.

Then he'll offer Chairperson Lee
the floor leader position.

Floor leader?

Yes, you'd obviously be
the most suitable person for the position

once Mr. Song becomes the minister.

Please don't forget
that I'm the one who recommended you

to Mr. Song.

You scratch my back,

and I'll scratch yours.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Oh is changing everything you planned.

He doesn't even share the contents
of his meetings with Mr. Song.

If things keep going this way,

you and I both won't be
able to do anything.

How are things going with Seobuk Market?

Not easy.

I'll check Mr. Song's schedule
and send you the changes.

Okay.

I'll talk to you later.

During the audit,
you revealed the connection

between the Minister of Justice
and Bugang Electronics.

You were picked as Best Assemblyperson
of the Audit.

And many people will agree
that you stood out.

I'd like to ask if you have

a certain set of principles
regarding how you engage in the audit.

Our people's tax is what pays this job,

so I should do my best to make sure
they don't think I'm a waste of money.

I always try my best to reveal
the unknown truth

and get rid of whatever that's wrong.

That's my mindset
in how I engage in the audit.

But I also recall that you suffered
from some trouble

due to the comment you made
about women during the regular meeting.

You told Assemblywoman Jeong to go home
and raise kids if she doesn't want to work

and that she does nothing
but look in the mirror and fix her makeup.

Do you remember that, sir?

Gosh, that's a strong one.

"Fix her makeup."

Of course, he remembers.

Right.

Have you talked to Ms. Jeong?

Yes, she said she's going to send Mr. Song

to the ethics committee.

Do everything you can

to help her.

Yes, sir.

I'm not dumb enough to let him beat me up.

I'd appreciate it
if you'd look at things more generally

instead of only focusing
on partial things.

But what I said was wrong,

and I was very thoughtless back then.

You already apologized for what happened,

but some people questioned your sincerity.

Yes, of course.

When someone apologizes,
it also means they will make sure

not to make the same mistake ever again.

But the assemblymen and women
of our country always apologize

without sincerely meaning it.

That's what makes the people so angry.

Therefore, I would like to learn
from my past mistake

and act on my words
instead of just making empty promises.

And I will prove that by making policies
that can benefit people

in their everyday lives.

You just said you'll prove yourself
by making good policies.

Are there any policies regarding women
that you're planning to do?

Yes, of course.

As you already know,

Jungil-gu has the largest ratio of women

in Seoul City.

Therefore, I'm currently
planning a project with Jungil-gu

that can help and support women.

- Ms. Kang.
- Can you be more specific?

First of all, the most urgent issue
is to create a good labor policy.

I am planning to introduce
good quality jobs to women

and increase the employment of women
in that area.

And I'm also planning a project
for women who have trouble working

even though there are jobs for them.

A typical example is to increase
the support for single-parent families.

And...

Assemblyman Song Hui-seop
of the Daehan Party promised

to do his best in making policies
for women.

He will increase the support
for single-parent families in Jungil-gu

and said he will aim to make Korea
a country that's free of discriminations.

Jungil-gu has the highest ratio
of single-parent families...

- Hey.
- Can we meet for a second?

- Where are you?
- In front of your office.

What?

Okay, just a second.

You guys can go home now.

You too, Jin-a.

See you tomorrow, sir.

Bye.

See you.

Bye.

Mr. Jang, are you in your office?

No, I'm outside.

I'm meeting someone.

What's up?

Is there a problem?

No, it's not a big deal.

I'll call you again.

Okay.

Why did you come all the way here?

Because I'm stressed.

I tend to feel a little better

when I meet you.

The Minister of Justice will make
an announcement tomorrow.

I think he decided to resign.

If Mr. Song gets appointed
as the minister,

I might end up having to stay here.

Just like the past four years.

It's not like he's set to become
the next minister.

There's something you're good at.

Turning crisis into an opportunity.

Let me know if you need anything.

I'll always be by your side.

Thank you.

But I can't just stay here
and watch him from afar

when I'm so close to achieving my dream.

What are you planning to do?

I'll do what I'm good at.

Turn a crisis into an opportunity.

I guess he is going to be late.

These are examples of traditional markets
that got redeveloped.

Please give them to Mr. Jang.

Okay, I will.

By the way,

I'm trying to make new materials
for the business presentation.

Is there a reference I can use?

I don't even know the template.

Mr. Jang put you in charge of that?

Well, no.

But I just thought I'd give it a try.

I'd like to be of help in any kind of way.

There should be a presentation file
that Mr. Jang once made.

- I'll send it to you via email.
- Oh, really? My gosh.

Thank you so much.

By the way,

why do you work so hard?

Well...

Because I like it.

What?

I'm doing this because I like the job.

I thought you just wanted to earn points
at the civil service interview.

Oh, you mean this?

To be honest, my mom can't find out
that I'm doing this.

The civil service exam is
an excuse I use to keep it a secret.

Don't call me so late at night.

My wife will get ideas.

How are things going?

The case regarding Mr. Jo's son

got sent to the prosecution
before we could even get a taste.

They took everything
including the investigation files.

Here are some stuff regarding Mr. Jo.
No one knows about them yet.

So you can use them to find something.

What is all this? Where did you get this?

During the floor leader election period.

(REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT)

My gosh, you prepared everything
so meticulously.

But why are you suddenly targeting Mr. Jo

instead of the Minister of Justice?

You'll soon find out.

- Call me.
- Okay.

(ASSEMBLYMAN SONG HUI-SEOP'S OFFICE)

Oh, my goodness!

Gosh.

Hello, sir.

- You spent the night here?
- Yes.

Oh, right. Here you go.

Ms. Yun asked me
to give this to you yesterday.

She dropped by last night.

- Oh, really?
- Yes.

Mr. Jang.

I organized the presentation materials.

Can you please take a look?

Did you do this all by yourself?

Well, yes.

Ms. Yun told me that I should use
your past presentation materials

as reference.

So I used your stuff
to come up with the table of contents.

What do you think?

It's nice.

- Really?
- Keep going with this concept

- by making things more concrete.
- Okay.

I'll have it done before noon.

You can give it to me before dinner.

Do you see the public bath over there?

- Yes, sir.
- Go and take a shower there.

Oh, okay.

I'll be right back.

My gosh.

I caused so much trouble.

I don't know how I'm going to face
the President.

The Blue House
Personnel Committee is trying

to find the right candidate
for your position.

But the President actually wants you
to recommend someone

who can carry on the reformation
that you've started.

Is there anyone you have in mind?

I recommend Assemblyman Song Hui-seop

since he used to be a prosecutor himself.

Assemblyman Song?

I'll relay your message to the President.

Minister.

You need to take a look at this.

Hello, everyone.

As of today, I will be
resigning from my position

as the Minister of Justice.

I would like to apologize
to all the judicial officers,

my fellow colleagues,
and the people close to me

who helped me with the reformation

- of the prosecution.
- Ms. Kang, drink your tea. It'll get cold.

As the Minister of Justice,
I am fully responsible for

the delay of the investigation
on Bugang Electronics. I hope

the investigation will quickly proceed

so that the laborers and the family
of the deceased will finally...

- Sir.
- What's up?

...heal from their scars.

The Blue House accepted Minister
Park's resignation letter. According to

a key personnel at the Blue House, they
are in the process of finding a successor.

And they are considering Assemblyman Jo
of the Daehan Party as the candidate.

He is currently the head of...

What kind of bullshit is that?

Minister Park recommended him
to the President.

I might as well just kill that jerk.

Give me Kim In-gyu's file.

That's not going to help, sir.

You need to take a look at this.

(ASSEMBLYMAN SONG SECURES TESTIMONY
OF BUGANG'S FINANCE TEAM MANAGER)

The press already knows
that we have Kim In-gyu's video clip.

How did they find out?

No one's ever been eliminated
during a hearing...

Mr. Song has everything.
But we don't even have a single card.

Then we just need to make

the other person's cards become useless.

I'll deal with the press.

It doesn't seem like he'll have a problem
with the hearing.

Is Assemblyman Song inside?

Sir, is it true that you've secured
Kim In-gyu's testimony?

- What did he say?
- Please wait.

- Sir, please tell us!
- Will you please stop?

- Stop it!
- Sir, what did he say?

- You can't do this!
- Get out of the way.

- Sir!
- Please leave.

Okay, everyone.

- Wait.
- Please stop.

- Get out of the way!
- Please leave!

Assemblyman Jo may be a member
of the ruling party,

but he is being regarded as someone
who can embrace the opposition party.

Mr. Jo isn't in his office,
and we can't get a hold

of his chief of staff either.

My gosh, the least he can do is
celebrate my win like a gentleman,

but he's trying to ruin the party.

It's not like he got nominated
as the minister already.

Why are you so worried?

You already know who's capable
of dealing with Mr. Jo.

Tae-jun.

Sir, I'll take care of it.

- How?
- Well... I...

What can you do
when you can't even meet him?

I'll do whatever I can to get in touch.

Shut up.

Therefore, it doesn't seem like he'll have
a problem with the hearing.

A source from the Blue House says

they're trying their best
to appoint a new successor

as fast as possible
so that Minister Park's resignation

won't have a severe effect
on the organization.

- Yes, Mr. Song.
- Hey.

I need you back here.

- I'll go after I deal with Seobuk Market.
- That's not important right now!

I'll send Won-sik,
so get over here right now!

Okay, sir. I'll be right there.

They're trying their best to appoint
a new minister as fast as possible.

Won-sik, hurry up and go.

Assemblyman Jo's wife caused
as much trouble as his son

starting from false resident registration
and a lot of other stuff.

I sent you an email. You should read it.

Thanks.

(QUICK DELIVERY SERVICE)

(ASSEMBLYMAN JO'S WIFE
SUSPECTED OF FALSELY CLAIMING RESIDENCY)

(ASSEMBLYMAN JO GAP-YEONG)

(SEND)

(SENT SUCCESSFULLY)

Mr. Jo, I'd like to meet up with you.

I just sent you an email.

Please give me a call.

Mr. Jang.

Where's Mr. Song?

He's inside.

Hello, sir.

Hi, sir.

Hey, Tae-jun.

Come over here.

Did you eat dinner?

You did? Okay.

Let me tell you what's going on.

You should yield
the floor leader position to Mr. Jo.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Lee's going to be
the next floor leader.

You need to deal with what's urgent.

How's that going to make a difference?

Sir, we already settled a deal
with Mr. Lee...

Will you please stay still?

Mr. Lee can only win over one third

of the entire ruling party.

You need Mr. Jo's support in order to pass
the hearing to become the minister anyway.

Do you think he'll accept the offer?

I'll try to talk to him in person.

How are you going to do that?

We don't even know where he is right now.

I'm sure he'll call me.

What?

Is it Jo Gap-yeong?

(ASSEMBLYMAN JO GAP-YEONG)

Yes, sir.

It's Jang Tae-jun.

What are you doing?
Did you send me this to threaten

- me again?
- I only sent that to you

because I wanted to meet you
but I didn't know how.

If you accept our offer,

those files will become useless.

What? What offer? What do you want?

I'm just trying to put things back
to where they belong.

The Minister of Justice.

The floor leader.

We both know who should be which.

I'll send Mr. Kim the location
of where we should meet.

Hey.

What did you do?

- What do you think you're doing?
- You planned all this, didn't you?

I didn't know you thought of me so highly.

This is what Mr. Song said.

"I can't stand seeing people

who should be
behind me hovering in front of me."

I'm only here
to get rid of that person for him.

Don't get so riled up.

Will you let go now? I have a lot to do.

Okay.

Won-sik.

Let me give this back to you.

You look a lot more tired
than me right now.

(SUAN SAUNA)

Damn it. This little jerk.

Hello, sir.

Go on inside.

What are you scheming?

Why don't you ever answer my questions?

We may be a divided country
and pointing guns at each other,

but we still hold hands
and try to put on a smile on our faces.

Have a drink,
and let's put the past behind us.

It's not very easy to forget
about all the bad blood between us.

How did it go?

Nothing in this world is for free.

I had to soothe and console him.

I don't mind cooperating with you.

But there's one thing that bothers me.

I'd like to catch a sly traitor
that stabbed me in the back.

- About Kang Seon-yeong...
- Yes, sir.

Do what you need to get rid of her
at the right timing.

That's what Jo Gap-yeong wants in return.

Congratulations.

You made a fancy comeback.

There is only one way
to stop all your cards

from falling.

And you do that by throwing away

one of your cards.

(AIDE / CHIEF OF STAFF)

How did it go with Mr. Jo?

He's not the type of man to back down.

Apparently, Assemblymen Song and Jo
had a one-on-one meeting last night.

They must've struck a deal.

You could really get hurt.

Go and tell Mr. Song this.
He'll get hurt as much as I do.

Get rid of Kang Seon-yeong quickly.

We might not get to see
the Chief Presidential Secretary.

If you keep hesitating, we can't guarantee
what move the assemblyman will make next.

Do you have to take it this far? Tae-jun!

I'm a pretty valuable asset, aren't I?

Please, let's stop.
