ASSEMBLYMAN YANG'S COUNTER PRESS CONFERENCE

I am...

a con artist.

Good luck.

Okay. I will.

Mi-young.

Yes?

What Kim Nam-hwa said...

is true.

Don't joke around.

I'm not joking.

I've been lying to you all this time.

I'm a con artist.

I'm sorry, Mi-young.

I, Yang Jeong-guk, was involved

in all sorts of cons including Ponzi schemes,

voice phishing, and real estate fraud.

I made sure to hide all of my past crimes

before running for the National Assembly.

Was he really a con artist?

To be honest, I hoped...

this truth would never be revealed.

I didn't want to show my true identity

to my fellow citizens.

-Gosh. -I didn't want

to be a deceiving and selfish con artist.

I wanted to live as an assemblyman

who works for public interest and protects the people.

However,

I only realized now that I was being greedy.

You're a con artist?

Yes.

And you've been lying to me all this time?

I'm sorry.

Why are you telling me this after all this time?

Because I didn't want to lie to you anymore.

I won't hurt the people I cherish

in order to hide my past.

I won't deceive my fellow citizens

for my personal benefit.

I will confess to all of the crimes

I've committed thus far.

You didn't want to lie?

After all this time?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Is that going to cut it?

Will an apology resolve this?

I guess all I have to do is forgive you.

I'm sorry.

How can I live now?

I learned that my husband is a con artist.

I realized that you lied to me for three years.

How can I go on living after this?

Say something.

Hey! Say something.

Dear fellow citizens, please don't forgive me.

I don't deserve your forgiveness.

I even deceived my wife whom I love.

-I did it for my benefit. -Say something.

I'm a jerk who lied to his wife.

When I knew she was a police officer,

I only thought about how to con more people.

On top of that,

I kept pushing away my wife when she trusted me.

I was a lousy husband.

Don't forgive me, Mi-young.

I'm sorry...

I'll turn myself in after this press conference

to confess all the crimes I've committed.

I'd like to apologize once more to the citizens...

who trusted and supported me.

I'm sorry.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

-Is what you said all true? -Where are you going?

How do you feel right now?

I don't understand.

Why did you admit to everything?

Because it's the truth.

A con artist admitted because it's true?

But it doesn't make sense.

Many things don't make sense in this world.

Don't try to understand it.

Usually, assemblymen deny every suspicion,

claim they're innocent, and blame political manipulation.

They're busy feigning innocence.

Shouldn't you do the same?

Who says I should?

Besides, why is a prosecutor saying such things?

Should I not confess? Should I walk out?

Should I change my statement right now?

Should I say I'm a love artist instead?

So you're a love artist?

Since you're so determined, this won't take long.

Let's get you indicted against your immunity.

Okay. Let’s do it.

One should be punished for committing crimes.

Hurry up and ask me. What should I confess?

Did he really confess everything?

Every single thing?

Yes, I told you.

He confessed without hesitation.

It only took an hour to finish it.

He's really trying to go to prison.

It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

What's gotten into him?

I don't get it.

Don't try to understand him.

Things worked out fine.

It's not over yet. There's still more to do.

Don't you think you're making me slave away for pocket money?

"Pocket money"?

I gave you half of my shares.

If I tell you to get a divorce, you should.

You took half of my freaking fortune.

You should watch the way you talk to me. I'm your older sister.

This is the last time.

Don't ask for more favors.

-Okay. -I earned my keep, okay?

Okay, fine.

So?

Who do you want to punish now?

Kim Mi-young.

And who's that?

The con artist's wife.

I need to get rid of the con artist husband

and the detective wife together

to avoid potential problems.

Did you really not know about your husband's past?

As a detective in Intellectual Crimes, do you feel guilty?

Did you turn a blind eye because he's your husband?

-Please tell us. -Please.

-Kim Mi-young. -Tell us!

Give us a statement!

Seriously...

-Gosh. -What are you doing?

I asked what you were doing!

Lieutenant Kim.

You know your husband turned himself in, right?

And?

That's why we have no choice but to do this.

You know, Lieutenant,

we trust you.

-Let's just go on that. -He's right.

To be honest, you're also a victim here.

Is it your fault you were fooled?

The con artist jerk who fooled you is at fault.

Hey.

Watch your mouth.

He's still her husband.

It's Mr. Con Artist.

When the person who was fooled is a cop, she is at fault, Detective Na.

If the one who fooled me is my husband,

I must take responsibility.

That's only right.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

Must you do this?

Yes.

No. I won't accept it.

-Take it back. -If things go wrong, you'll be hurt too.

I don't want our family to be hurt because of me.

Why are you worried about me getting hurt?

I'll take care of it, so take this with you.

-But Chief... -Why won't you listen?

I said I'd take care of it.

Why should you take care of this?

We met as a delinquent teenager and a cop 20 years ago.

I called you "Mom" for 20 years,

but I never did anything right as your daughter.

I thought that if I got married and lived happily, that would suffice.

But look what happened, Mom.

We can overcome this.

That's what family is for.

Trust me.

Let's fix this together, okay?

We can do it, Mi-young.

No.

I'll do it by myself this time.

I won't be a burden on you anymore.

Mi-young.

Kim Mi-young!

Hi, Sang-jin.

Should I tell them to leave?

It's fine.

About Jeong-guk...

You knew, didn't you?

When you were running against him,

you must have done a background check.

Yes, I knew.

Why didn't you tell me?

If you considered me as your sister,

if you cared at all about me,

you should've told me.

When I first found out,

I wanted to go to you and tell you right away.

Mi-young!

Kim Mi-young!

That Jeong-guk is a con artist,

that he had been deceiving our family,

and not to let him fool you anymore.

I wanted to tell you that.

But I couldn't,

because his love for you

seemed real.

I dated her because I loved her.

I married her because I loved her.

And it's because I love her,

that I feel bad.

Who cares about that now?

He's a con artist. How can you believe him?

I don't know how this will sound to you now,

but a person can't always make

the right decisions all their life.

With you and Jeong-guk,

he happened to meet you when he was making

the wrong decisions.

So, don't distrust his sincerity.

He loves you sincerely,

and now,

he's making the right decisions.

I'm not interested in love or the right decisions.

The man I lived with for two years,

the man I slept with in the same bed,

feels like a stranger now. It scares me.

Don't try to persuade me.

If you do, I won't talk to you, either.

Is it true?

-I have no comment. -Please, a word!

Yes, Mom.

You shouldn't take responsibility for this.

I knew what kind of person Jeong-guk was.

I knew, but I hid it.

I thought it would all be fine if I kept quiet and played dumb.

I was wrong.

I made the wrong decision.

So I'll take responsibility.

Let me do what I should as your mom.

Bye.

Mom!

Hello.

I'm Kim Gyeong-ae, Chief of Seowon Police Station.

I'm here to say something

regarding the case involving Yang Jeong-guk,

who is being investigated.

Let me start with the conclusion.

All the suspicions surrounding

Lieutenant Kim Mi-young from Intellectual Crimes

are not true.

Lieutenant Kim Mi-young

did not know her husband was a con artist.

It was me who knew.

I'm the one to blame

because I had concealed the truth.

I'd like to make it clear

that Lieutenant Kim Mi-young

did nothing that conflicted with her duties as a police officer.

I'm the one who is at fault.

I...

will resign

as Chief of Seowon Police Station.

That is all.

-Is this it? -Yes.

That punk.

Jeong-guk!

Be careful. You'll get hurt.

My son. You must be tired.

Give him the tofu.

It's okay. I don't need tofu. I was just being questioned.

You finally got a prior. Congrats.

Mi-jin.

I just told you, I was just being questioned.

I don't have a prior. Why would I?

You fool. Why did you confess on TV that you're a con artist?

You idiot.

Why are you suddenly hitting me, Dad?

You said I must be tired, so why are you...

Hello, Father.

Have you been well, Father?

Yes, ma'am.

I mean... Yes, Mi-young.

Could I borrow Jeong-guk for a moment? I have something to talk to him about.

I had a lot to say to you,

but I can't remember anything now that I see you.

I don't know what's real and what's not anymore.

I'm sorry.

What a convenient thing to say.

You make me speechless when I'm the one who's been fooled.

What should we do now?

What do you think we should do?

I want to kill you right now.

I want to beat you to death, but I'm stopping myself.

I'm angry, frustrated, and upset, so I'm about to go insane.

I want to cry so badly, but I'm holding it in.

So at least answer me properly.

It's best we break up, right?

You should yell and curse at me as much as you want.

And you decide it.

I don't deserve to do that.

Is that all you have to say?

It's all I can say.

Don't play with words, and just tell me.

We've come this far. There's nothing we can't say.

We met...

We fell in love.

We got married.

Forget it.

We had our downs.

Sometimes, we had arguments.

Listen to me. Please calm down.

But my feelings for you

were always true.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

My feelings and my heart were always the same.

But once I tell you that I'm a con artist,

you'd doubt

my sincere feelings too.

Although the entrepreneur Yang Jeong-guk was a lie,

Kim Mi-young's husband Yang Jeong-guk is real.

That is how I truly feel.

No matter what you decide,

I'll do as you say.

I'm sorry I broke my promise...

to keep you happy forever.

Even if you say you're telling me the truth,

it doesn't sound like the truth to me.

Mom had to step down because of me.

I think Park Hoo-ja was trying to get me too.

-What do you mean? -Prosecutor Park Mi-hui.

She is Hoo-ja's older sister.

I found out while checking Hoo-ja's files.

Whether we get divorced or not,

we can take care of that later.

How are you going to get Hoo-ja?

-What? -I won't let them get away

after getting my mom dismissed.

I'll have them all arrested.

Tell me about your plan first.

You didn't turn yourself in without a plan, did you?

There's another reason you did that, right?

How did you know?

I've met dozens of people like you.

People like you never make moves without a plan.

Conning bastards like you may be slow to act, but think faster than others.

I did it because of the general meeting.

That's why I turned myself in.

If they want to indict me against the immunity,

they have to hold a general meeting.

To indict you?

A general meeting will be held in two days.

At the meeting, Jeong-guk's indictment against immunity will be discussed.

Then what happens to him after that?

Will he get arrested just like me?

No, they won't take it that far.

Another general meeting will be held within 24 to 72 hours after the proposal.

Once the request to approve his arrest

is passed by the Assembly, he's history.

That means there will be two general meetings.

The first one in two days,

and then the second one where everyone votes for his arrest.

Will they vote for the Interest Rate Regulation Act then too?

Yes. That's when we should make our move.

How will they make their move?

Money.

We'll persuade those who betrayed us for Yang Jeong-guk by giving them money.

All we have to do is stop them.

Then the bill to repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act, will be voted down.

How do we stop a rich moneylender from using money?

We can freeze their accounts.

Do you want to freeze Hoo-ja's account?

We already did that when we arrested her.

But we can't freeze fake accounts when we don't know the account numbers.

Someone like her is bound to have a few fake accounts.

That's no way to do business.

Money should never run low for a moneylender.

It should flow out endlessly.

Let me look into it right away.

Gwi-nam, it's me.

Are our accounts okay?

I know them.

What?

Know what?

I know how many fake accounts Hoo-ja has,

whose names they're under at which banks,

and how much they have. I know all of them.

You do?

How do you know?

TAX CALCULATIONS ON REVENUE

Let me finish.

I didn't create this problem.

Anyway, we must freeze all of those accounts too.

We need to block their money supply.

Hoo-ja.

What is it?

To cut their throats.

All of our fake accounts are getting frozen.

What?

Is this Gukhan Bank?

I'm Detective Lee Dal-sik from Seowon Police Department.

Could you check account number 1235-754-3245

It's under the name Moon Hyeon-seong.

We suspect this account to be fake.

We need you to freeze it for us.

That account got frozen too?

Okay.

Sinmi Bank! Try Sinmi Bank.

I'm Detective Na Bo-yeon from Seowon Police Department.

We need to freeze an account.

Okay.

This one's been blocked too.

Damn it.

What about Jeochuk Bank? Call them.

Okay. Thank you.

Jeochuk Bank account is now locked.

Yes. Is this Saebom Securities?

I called to request an account freeze.

Yes. One moment, please.

Is this one frozen too?

Then, unfreeze it.

How dare you freeze my account without my permission?

-It's blocked. -Sons of bitches.

It's blocked.

Okay, thank you.

They froze it.

Yes, thank you.

Yes, babe.

I mean, Mr. Yang.

All of her accounts have been blocked.

It will be hard for her to use her money for now.

I guess so.

Thanks.

Good job.

The National Assembly is holding the 11th general meeting this morning.

Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk's arrest will likely be discussed at the meeting.

Also, it's expected that they'll vote

on the bill to repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act today.

-How annoying. -Why is he here?

Mr. Baek.

You must be disappointed in me. I'm sorry.

I had no choice.

Please take your seats.

THE 11TH GENERAL MEETING

Since we have a quorum, we will begin

-the general meeting. -I'm sorry to keep talking to you,

but about your vote that we discussed...

You haven't changed your mind, right?

-Assemblyman Yang. -Yes?

What are you talking about?

-What? -If you wanted the bill to be voted down,

you should've denied it till the end.

What is this?

We've become a con man's co-conspirators now, thanks to you.

Do you get that?

But what does that have to do with this?

Whether or not I'm a con artist,

we must stop the Interest Rate Regulation Act from being repealed.

The details thereof will be added to the minutes.

That is all.

As you heard,

the government requested our consent to Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk's arrest.

According to article 26-2 of the National Assembly law,

the consent to the arrest of an assemblyman

-must be... -Listen very carefully.

Politics can't be approached so naively.

When Kim Nam-hwa was expelled from the party,

you saw how our assemblymen turned their backs on him.

This is the same thing.

It's not different from back then.

How can we line up behind a broken speaker? How?

Look, Assemblyman Baek.

We are fighting those bad people who buy people's favor with money.

The only thing we can do in this situation is to show the truth.

So how could I lie?

Listen.

There are times when you must hide small truths

in order to obtain greater justice.

Stop saying such ridiculous things.

Everything sounds nice if you package it nicely.

First on the agenda.

To schedule the 12th general meeting.

I propose that we hold it on May 28.

Any objections?

-No. -No.

Don't try to justify yourself with fancy words.

Please let everyone vote according to their beliefs.

It has been decided.

You said you'd make sure bills like this will never make it to the floor again.

I did?

I don't remember saying that.

Anyway, the National Party supreme council already decided

that all the party members will vote the same way.

You'll vote the same way?

You said you'd vote individually.

Next, the second item on the agenda.

We will vote on the bill to repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

From now on, the party's opinion is my opinion.

And Mr. Yang Jeong-guk.

Worry about yourself going to prison.

We'll take care of politics. Got that?

Assemblyman Baek...

Assemblymen, please keep your seats.

We're voting...

Why that...

Goodness.

Goodness. What will you do?

How could you trust an assemblyman?

You should've just trusted yourself, you conning bastard.

Get lost. Stop annoying me.

I'll get lost.

You should too. The meeting fell through.

Why you...

Gosh. How scary.

Don't think about seeing me again.

This is the last time.

On the 28th?

That's tomorrow.

Yes. I told you last time

that we need to have another general meeting

in three days after giving our consent to his arrest.

You said three days, not one day.

Is three days "tomorrow" in your dictionary?

Anyway, that's what the floor leaders decided.

What could I do about that?

Should I have gone up and said tomorrow's no good,

I need more time?

It's because I don't have the time.

My resources have dried up.

So do whatever you can to get more money.

The supreme council hinted that they're meeting.

It's obvious. It means they want more money.

So? How much must I give to how many in the supreme council?

There are five members of the supreme council.

I've already won over three of them.

So give the other two 200 million won each.

And the floor leader. He has a lot of influence.

So make it a double. Give him 400 million.

Plus, make his cousin a consultant here at Baekkyung Capital.

Create an alliance with him.

This is a great opportunity for you.

He has a lot of influence.

He even scolds and curses at the President.

Okay.

I'll have the money by tomorrow morning. Done.

You're sure you can get a billion won by tomorrow morning, right?

Aren't you penniless because they seized your accounts?

Who are you calling penniless?

Just relay my message to those losers

that if they don't do their jobs right,

I'll shove my money up their asses.

Okay. Got it. That's nice and clear. I'll tell them.

I will. Bye now.

I don't think I should use her words exactly. Shoving it up their asses...

Can you get the money?

We can't even borrow money for bribes.

I need to start thinking, that's all.

Prison is the perfect place for thinking.

Did you sleep well?

What do you think? I threw out my back.

The floor is so hard.

But you must feel free since you let it all out.

Free? I'm not free. I feel trapped.

I haven't seen my youngest in ten days.

I keep seeing his smiling face.

I can't even sleep.

Why did I confess all of that back then?

I feel like I was conned.

What do you mean, conned?

You went in looking cool, so continue being cool.

I'll be in there soon too,

right by your side.

Tomorrow,

they decide on the consent to your arrest, right?

Don't worry too much.

Assemblymen may fight,

but they don't cut off each other's livelihood.

I'm not worried.

I knew from the start

that I may end up in jail.

So why did you have to reveal that you were a con artist?

How is your wife?

Not well, of course. How could she,

after hearing her husband is a con artist?

You caused this mess,

so you fix it.

Don't take a dump and take off!

Flush the toilet!

Use the bidet and stuff too.

I'm trying to live like that,

but others don't seem to do the same

either at home or at the Assembly.

They don't own up to their words and actions.

That's how politics is.

If something good happens, they run out there and boast.

If something bad happens, they hide behind the party like cowards.

That's how assemblymen are.

You still don't know that?

"That's how politics is."

I never want to know that.

What do you mean, that's how it is?

What about me?

Then I should still be a slave with my forehead branded.

Nothing in life is unchangeable.

Everything must change when the time is right.

This punk is trying to lecture me.

So? How will you change it?

When you need to change rotten, stagnant water,

using chemicals and machinery is useless. That won't change the water.

I'll replace them entirely.

I'll make it super clean.

Can you do it?

Since when did I do things I can do?

I always did the thing I had to do.

The National Assembly will vote today on

whether or not to consent to the arrest of Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

If more than half of the quorum vote to give consent,

the court will decide whether or not to indict and arrest him.

The bill to repeal the Interest Rate Regulation Act, which he opposes,

will be voted on thereafter.

The public is very interested in the result of both matters.

Have you...

So my question is, how long must we wait?

Everyone is getting tired of waiting.

You can't?

Okay, bye.

We're calling everyone we can too, so tell them to wait.

I'll get it somehow before you vote.

You gave me your word. You need to follow through.

You should step it up.

I'm stepping it up, okay?

Bye.

I'll call you once I have the money.

Hello?

That witch. She keeps hanging up on me.

Why that...

Are you coming up with a scheme again?

Me?

-Who are you? -Don't live like that.

Have some shame.

I got it. You're the one who is going to the slammer soon. Yang Jeong-guk.

Right?

I won't see you again, so stop talking to me.

You too.

Okay.

I said okay!

Daily installment loans won't work either.

There's no way to unfreeze my accounts, right?

No.

The cops froze them, so we can't.

Then we have no choice.

Let's do gift certificate exchange.

You want to send bribes in gift certificates?

You don't know what I mean, do you?

Gift certificate exchange!

THE 12TH GENERAL MEETING

AGENDA

We will vote on the proposal

to give consent to the arrest of Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

The Minister of Justice will explain the reasons for their request for the consent.

On behalf of the government,

I will explain why we request your consent to arrest Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

The reason for the request...

Attention, everyone!

Everyone, take out your corporate cards.

Hurry it up.

-Move it. -Give me your cards.

-Thank you. -Quickly.

-Hurry. -Thank you.

Yes. We collected all the corporate cards.

Max them out and purchase gift certificates.

According to the article 26 of the Nation Assembly law,

we request your consent to the arrest

of Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk.

Thank you.

Next, Assemblyman Yang Jeong-guk will give his statement.

Please come up and take the podium.

DISCOUNTED GIFT CERTIFICATES

Everything the Minister of Justice stated

is correct.

I am a con artist.

I accept

all the charges.

That is all.

Give me cash for these.

Then, according to the article 112-5 of the National Assembly law,

we will vote anonymously.

We will start from the back.

Please go to the right to place your votes.

That will be all.

Please submit your votes.

What are you looking at? Cash.

YES

Sorry.

Everyone I know voted "Yes."

It'll be so humiliating if there's one "No" at the count at the end.

Who are you?

That's right.

Assemblyman Kim Nam-hwa.

The former National party leader candidate who is totally in the sewer now.

Don't act like you know me.

We're almost done.

Come to the office.

We need to get the numbers right.

We will finish the voting and start counting the votes.

We have 248 assemblymen present.

And 248 votes were received.

Thus, the numbers match.

I will announce the result of the vote shortly.

VOTE ON CONSENT TO ARREST YANG JEONG-GUK

I'm so nervous.

It's like I was trying for a straight and ended up with a straight flush.

What?

How does that make sense right now?

I will announce the result.

I'm sure they'll give the consent.

They can't do that.

Even if they do, he's just a con artist.

With 218 votes for,

2 against,

and 28 abstains,

the consent to the arrest of Assemblyman Yang

has been approved.

I'm just paying for my sins, that's all.

Jeong-guk!

It's okay.

What's with that face?

Aren't you sad?

Sad?

Never in my life have I ever felt sadness.

You jerk! I've been too nice!

Just because I say I like you all the time.

-Stop. -Are you even a human?

-Are you even a human? -Why are you doing this?

How can you call yourself a human? Just die!

ASSEMBLYMAN YANG'S ARREST APPROVED

It's all ready.

Then what are you waiting for?

Send them out.

Send them out.

-Let's go. -Yes, sir.

Then let's move on to the second item.

Let's discuss the bill repealing the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

Mr. Speaker.

I think we must have a meeting on that matter.

-Give us some time. -How much?

Just give us ten minutes.

Okay.

How long will it take? Let's step out if needed.

Just wait for a moment.

Wait just a moment. I'll call her now.

Hello, Chairman Park. It's me.

What should we do now? Should we wait?

We're about to vote on it right now.

I sent the money.

I sent a billion won all at once.

My employees are headed there right now.

Tell them to split the money themselves.

God, I'm too exhausted to do that.

Okay. Got it.

It will be here soon. Wait just a bit more.

Then we should decide what we'll vote for soon.

Just a moment. Let me take this call.

Yes, Yeong-tae?

I got the delivery.

-Sir? -Okay.

We'll vote for "yes," okay?

The Interest Rate Regulation Act.

We must repeal it no matter what.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Gosh, this is so good to see.

I'm sorry to say this in such a moment,

but I ask for your help to get me back

-in the party. -Okay.

-Okay? -Let's meet more often.

-Okay? -Let's meet more often.

Right.

Everyone is laughing, but nobody is answering.

-We'll do that. -You surprised me.

Okay. Now,

we shall begin the voting

on the bill repealing the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

What the hell?

Who are you people? Are you crazy?

Do you know who I am?

We know you're an assemblyman.

I'm a detective.

-What? -Assemblyman Cho.

You're under arrest for violating the Political Fund Act.

-What? -Why are you surprised?

There's a lot of cash in your trunk.

Get out of the car. Now.

I would like to speak about the repeal of the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

-What is he doing? -Okay. Well, you may speak.

Park Hoo-ja will somehow make the money before tomorrow's meeting.

Her dream project will be decided tomorrow.

She's not someone who would stay still.

We blocked all of her accounts. How?

She'll find a way somehow.

She's in an unfavorable situation.

She doesn't have enough time to launder money and wire it.

I'm sure that she will send her people to deliver cash.

Then we'll just have to follow her people.

We'll naturally learn how she prepares the money

if we just follow them.

Right?

-Yes, you're right. -Yes.

DISCOUNTED GIFT CERTIFICATES

You three, go to the Grace Department Store.

And you should follow me.

Gift certificate exchange? Okay. They must be in a real rush.

But that won't be enough.

When we get enough evidence, let's catch them red-handed.

We must make it certain.

There's so much.

My gosh.

How much is this?

I know that many of you here...

These jerks.

...agree to the repeal of the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

However,

I think

the Interest Rate Regulation Act is needed.

If that act disappears...

He must have a mental illness. Why is he doing that?

People with tough lives will have tougher lives.

Making the people have tougher lives...

is not what we should do as assemblymen.

Even a con artist like me

who lived off other people's money

that they earned so hard,

knows that there will be

more people who suffer

from crushing debt.

Even I know that much.

But what are you doing?

You've learned so much more,

you're much smarter,

and you're much more thoughtful

than a mere con artist like me.

How can people like you...

call yourselves assemblymen?

You even receive bribes for just one bill.

Hey, Yang Jeong-guk. Step down from there.

Step down if you'll keep spewing nonsense.

-Hey. -Why look around?

I'm talking about you, the National Party.

You received illegal political funds from Park Hoo-ja

and tried to get this bill passed.

You don't fear the people.

Hey, Yang Jeong-guk. You're a mere con artist.

This isn't a place for you to say such bullshit.

Where is this? This is the National Assembly!

I know that this is the National Assembly!

This is the National Assembly.

You are assemblymen.

You're assemblymen that took bribes.

Police officers have caught someone delivering the bribes to you.

When this is over, you will be summoned for illegal political funds.

You'll become just like me now.

Where is it?

Oh, it's here.

Is an article published?

ILLEGAL POLITICAL FUNDS CAUGHT ON SITE

Where is Park Hoo-ja?

Where is she? Tell us.

Assemblymen of the National Party.

I got rid of your corrupt higher-ups.

So stop looking around to study the party's opinion,

and follow your beliefs.

Con artists like me aren't with you now.

Think of the people

and show politics that are for the people.

To start that,

please help me maintain...

the Interest Rate Regulation Act.

Don't abandon the people

for your personal gains.

That is...

the least you should do for the people.

I'll watch you in prison.

I'll announce the voting results.

Among the 197 attendees,

13 votes for,

182 votes against, and 2 abstains.

According to the voting, the bill to repeal

the Interest Rate Regulation Act is rejected.

Gosh, I'm sweating.

My bad.

Where did it begin to go wrong?

What is it that I did wrong?

Why me?

Why did I end up like this?

What in the world went wrong?

Have you guys been well?

Everyone looks much better.

I heard that you went to university, Charles.

Well, I wanted to study.

So yes, I got accepted in 2021.

Accepted in 2021?

It doesn't fit you.

What about Seung-i and Mr. Park?

Are you two still together?

Yes. Well, we broke up eight times and met again nine times,

but we are still well together.

What are you talking about?

Jeong-guk, this guy is such a jerk.

-He cheated on me-- -That's enough.

Why is that enough, you bastard?

What?

You'll break up for the ninth time today.

How are Dad and Ha-ru?

Didn't they come with you?

Well, Ha-ru went to school.

And Dad is preparing a feast at home.

Why is he preparing a feast?

Returning from prison isn't something that deserves a feast.

We should enjoy the drinks. Cut.

Deodeok and pork belly?

Cut.

Yes!

-Are we filming? -CEO Park.

Cut.

Gosh, this is so good.

It's too hot!

Just say you don't want to eat.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING MY FELLOW CITIZENS.
