Let me introduce my friend.

Byeon Jong-gu!

Make some noise!

I'll treat you right.

I'm sick and tired of hearing that.

I'll treat you right.

I don't care, I don't trust you anymore.

I'll treat you right.

You keep changing your words Saying this and that.

I'll treat you right for real.

It's all my fault.

Whenever we fight

it's all on me.

as if I've done something horrible.

I take a step back

say nothing else to you.

You are perfect.

I can never satisfy you.

Thank you.

Treat us right!

CONCERT WITH YOUNG VOTERS

My long-time boyfriend is in the military...

It's your chance.

Not a chance to cheat on him,

but to prove the strength of your love.

Be loyal to him and wait.

That is such a wise answer

-to the question... -I have a question.

Let's hear from the gentleman over there.

Thank you.

I would like to know

just how much you love our city of Seoul.

It feels like a punch.

I love this city very much.

I couldn't go to my daughter's graduation

due to a contingency meeting.

So, I would like to take this opportunity

to tell my family that I am sorry.

Wow, thank you.

Thank you.

-Mr. Mayor, a question! -Let's finish…

I have a question.

Okay, the lady over there.

My name is Park Gyeong. I work at an Ad agency

Four years ago, I cast my first ballot to vote for you.

But you've been a disappointment lately.

Are you sure it is me?

I am sick and tired

of your pretentious acts.

If you continue on this path, you'll never win again, Mr. Mayor.

Well,

then what should I do to win?

Show us who you really are.

Without a sincere communication, you will lose.

Well, shall we give a round of applause?

Yes, give it up for the young lady who asked a fine question!

Hey!

It'll open at nine o'clock.

Sir!

How are you doing this evening?

What is your rank?

Private Second Class Ma Min-su, sir!

Just started your service. When were you assigned to this unit?

A month ago, sir!

You will see me a lot from now on.

So remember who I am.

Yes, sir!

I understand he just started.

Sergeant Kim Yu-geon!

-But can't recognize the Mayor? -It won't happen again, sir!

Train the newbie, will you?

-Yes, sir! -Good.

Thank you, Sir!

God forgives all sins.

-It might be too much... -God is love.

Don't worry and...

I am a politician,

I devoted my life to others.

I really...

Father!

Garglin!

Hey, who's in charge of this campaign?

-Who's in charge? -She is, sir.

You made this?

Yes, it was me.

You're begging for a tax investigation of my company.

Ditch the politician.

This is the sixth time you rejected our idea.

I was in a debate club throughout college

and chose advertisement since my passion was political marketing

What do you reckon politics is?

There is a huge shift in political paradigm.

You can no longer force the voters,

but must represent their needs and wants.

Therefore,

I think politics is

being responsible for the voters.

I feel a heavy burden now that I hear your words.

Have you always been such a show-off?

Like at the concert.

Well,

I think the Mayor has been rather complacent these days,

so I thought I should let him know.

I supposed that was the best way

to help the person I admire.

It's interesting, you know?

The complacent mayor likes you.

Excuse me?

He wants to meet you, Miss Park.

It seems that our floor leader, Kim Nak-hyun, colluded

with Gye Bong-sik at Giant Construction

and promised him to alter the usage of the factory-planned land

in return for a large sum of money.

The evidence is piling up.

If this turns out to be true,

he should expect

the highest level of disciplinary actions.

Mayor Byeon.

Are you trying to take him out before the presidential election?

Let me be blunt.

We should actually be protecting him

against the evidence of his wrongdoings

for the good of our nation and our party.

Instead, you say disciplinary actions?

Are you trying to bring down our party?

Mind your mayoral election!

Well, fellow congressmen,

I came here thinking that I was visiting my hometown,

but I don't quite feel welcome.

Hey, Congressman Park.

Who do you think I am? Your buddy?

How dare you speak to me in that tone?

Haven't seen you in a while and it seems that you forgot who I am.

-Sir! -Are you alright?

-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm fine

Let's go!

Jong-gu's arrogance is shooting through the sky.

If he wins the mayoral election,

he will soon drop it to run for president.

That won't happen.

Everyone knows that the Blue House is yours.

Don't you worry.

Right?

If you don't want to see a blood battle,

keep a close eye on Jong-gu, okay?

This is quite a quandary.

His win will put me in danger.

Yet if we lose Seoul, it jeopardizes my run for president.

Damn...

Promise me one thing, though.

If you really received anything, you gotta tell me.

-Go, New Freedom Party! -Go!

Madam.

Let's kick it off with something radical

and catch Mayor Byeon.

My dear citizens of Seoul.

I am Yang Jin-ju.

Oops!

-Get that! Get that! -Hurry!

Candidate Yang Jin-ju wraps up her speech to declare her candidacy

professionally and calmly.

The approval rating for Mayor Byeon is hard to beat.

Will Yang be able to catch up?

This way.

There are many favorable posts for the mayor on college websites.

Check the comments and we will...

-Go to the last room. -Thanks.

What are you going to do with the edited video?

Hi.

Come on in.

You know me, right?

Yes, I know you well.

You are a legend in the ad field.

Your recent work?

I did the Garglin series.

That crude series.

The young ones don't know shit.

What's the trending search right now?

Uhm...

It's Yang Jin-ju's boobs.

Go find some work.

Okay.

Take out your phone.

Election is

finding a gem in a pile of shit.

You must get your hands dirty.

If you are willing to do it, take mine.

If not, grab yours and go home.

The numbers and emails of everyone

in our campaign are all there.

Don't ever turn off your phone. I won't stand it.

I'm gonna send a man this evening with some materials.

Use it and make our mayor a top trending search

Top?

You said you admire him.

You chose to get your hands dirty.

-Ms. Park? -Yes.

Congressman Shim sent this.

Thank you.

Just simple editing is all.

Excuse me.

Are you the Congressman's aide?

Just think of me as his own postman.

Remember the pervert in Mapo?

How come we still haven't caught him?

The world has changed now.

For our chief PR director who always brings us jackpot

in every election,

I will sing for you!

Please have another shot.

Your company makes a fine jacket, so you deserve it.

It's a jackpot for us when you win an election

wearing our jacket.

-What the... -Come on.

Pardon me.

I am actually curious.

-Do you think our mayor... -Go on.

...can beat Floor Leader Kim and

-run for president? -Shush.

I don't think

Mayor Byeon can compete with Kim just yet

If only Shim Hyuk-soo decides to help him in the center,

then he will no doubt win it.

So, how many jackets should I order?

2,000.

You can do better than that.

I'll order 1,000 more.

Why not go with 4,000 then?

We have no choice but to bring up the tax issue.

Did you even think before you spoke?

That's the same as the last election's pledge

What's the unemployment rate in Seoul?

It's 20%.

What must be done about it?

Well, we are trying to...

find a solution right now.

You two, get out.

Get out.

Get out!

Let's win Seoul!

So...

How many days do we have until he declares his candidacy?

-We have two days. -How many days?

We have two days left.

End of meeting.

Everyone, out.

Ok-bae.

Jeong Ok-bae.

-What time is it now? -Sorry.

There was an unfortunate incident last night.

I will speak to you privately later.

Later, when? After I fire you? What?

The video you asked for yesterday.

Okay, get out.

Well, there was a bust for... illegal prostitution last night.

I just received a warning.

Of course, I said no, but...

I swear, we just talked. Nothing else.

What do I always tell you?

Men must look out for three tips.

The tip of your hands.

The tip of your tongue.

-and the tip of your penis. -Yes.

Go do your work.

Yes, sir.

I really didn't do anything...

Women are the problem.

Wearing shorts that show the underwear

and showing their cleavage.

Women need to be more modest.

Poor Jong-gu, this will finish him.

-Send it to me. -Wait.

-What's the source? -Source?

Do you have the original copy?

-Is there a full version? -Why do you need it?

Short one is better.

-More people will watch it. -We need a clear source.

It might bite us back instead.

-Congressman! -It'll turn to shit if we don't use it.

Is this how Korean elections work?

I suppose?

You saw that we made the top trending with her boobs.

Pledges don't matter.

Mayor Byeon's comments

that were revealed today are taking the internet by storm.

In the released video, Mayor Byeon is talking with Chief of Mapo...

About that,

I have no comments.

Let's see.

This incident can be the key

to upend the election that was predicted to be

Mayor Byeon's landslide victory.

The gap between the two is still sizable.

But since this is right before he declares his candidacy...

You, my friend,

is a master in politics.

I am Jeong Ok-bae, the chief of PR in Byeon Jong-gu's campaign.

It's the original copy of the video that's been controversial.

Let us show you how this video was

edited with malicious intent.

Women are the problem.

Wearing shorts that show the underwear

and showing off their cleavages.

Women need to be more modest.

Is that what you're saying?

So with that logic, there shouldn't be any rape cases in winter

when they are heavily clothed.

That's not what I am saying.

In the light of sex crime,

how can you still think that women are partially responsible?

How can you think that? huh?

It's because of people like you

that hard-working civil servants get scrutinized!

Any questions?

Where was this taken?

The video was taken at a dinner with police chiefs.

Did you identify who leaked it?

It seems to be the Yang Jin-ju camp.

Without any hard evidence,

you point to their camp as the suspect.

Isn't that also false propaganda?

Now Mayor Byeon Jong-gu

will announce his run for the mayoral election.

Thank you for coming here in this heat.

As you previously witnessed,

it is a pity that such political slander

still exists in our country.

I truly

share the embarrassment that you all feel

from this unfortunate incident.

Good afternoon, I am Byeon Jong-gu, the incumbent mayor of Seoul.

Dear fellow citizens.

What do you envision when you think about

a happy city

and a livable city?

It may be a city with abundant jobs

or a safe city that predicts and prevents accidents and disasters.

I would like to add one more vision,

which is

a city that nurtures fond memories.

Not long ago,

I visited a nursery in Mapo

to monitor how their program is run.

I asked the children there

where they lived

and they answered,

"I live in e-Pyeonhan Apartment."

"I live in Ramial Apartment."

"I live in Prugiong Apartment."

Geez.

Our children no longer know

the name of the town they live in,

but only know the brands of their apartments.

Seoul is no longer

a place where fond memories grow,

but rather a block of concrete.

I felt the urge to do something.

I would like to bring back

the Seoul where memories exist.

The first step toward that pledge

will happen in this town, Mullae-dong.

This lifeless industrial complex

will soon welcome a new city-run library.

About 20 years ago,

I was a mere factory worker

right here in this town.

This town elected me to serve in the congress three times.

From here, a town that I call my home,

I would like to be the first mayor in our constitutional history

to run for his third term as a mayor of Seoul.

As a candidate,

I will take your support and cheers as encouragement

and your constructive criticism

as a medicine,

and make our city a place for communication and harmony.

At the same time,

I won't stand for opposition

for the sake of opposition.

And take firm stand against political slanders

that are completely unrelated to

the welfare of our people.

Give me another chance.

A change for the better life of all

doesn't happen with just words.

My fellow citizens of Seoul,

there is a saying

that a running horse

never stops galloping.

I, too,

will never stop.

Thank you.

Byeon Jong-gu!

Look at the number of views going up! Isn't that awesome?

-Good job today. -Thanks.

Do you remember that girl who asked you a question at the concert?

Yeah, the little one.

She is clever.

See? I know a talent when I see one.

That's what got me this far.

But a library? Seriously?

Are you trying to pick a fight with the floor leader Kim?

What?

That area is difficult as it is. You will never get the license.

You still haven't figured things out with Seo Pil-mok

You just have to take the leap.

I have to rectify what Kim Hak-gyun did.

Speaking of, you speak for the floor leader these days.

We're dating.

Come on.

Nonetheless,

there is no eternal friends. You are always alone.

Anyways, we had a hard day. Cow joint soup?

-Thank you. -Class of Mass Communication '09?

Yes, hi.

Did you make that?

-Excuse me? -It's my 5th year on Byeon Jong-gu.

It didn't seem like the usual work of his camp.

It was good. I guess we'll keep seeing each other.

Let's give a helping hand.

I'll see you around.

Okay.

Oppose re-development of Mullae-dong!

-Oppose! -Oh, no

Will you look at that?

Once the land value increases after redevelopment, they will shut up.

One, Two, Three!

BYEON JONG-GU SEOUL'S BIGGEST ADMIRER

LET'S DO BETTER, SEOUL!

Byeon Jong-gu! Byeon Jong-gu!

Thank you!

YANG JIN-JU

HEO MAN-GIL

GYE BONG-SIK GIANT CONSTRUCTION

I didn't suck up to the floor leader Kim.

We just talked about

building a high-rise once the land use changes.

That is all, Boss.

It's not like I have money to burn,

and can I really trust politicians?

Mr. Gye,

you still haven't figured out why I called you here?

Think about it.

Why are you setting yourself up

to be called in to the prosecutors' office

when you don't have to?

Wait,

prosecutors' office?

Yes, you heard me.

Don't frighten him. There is no evidence yet.

You are a businessman, Mr. Gye.

Don't you have your instincts?

You need to measure things up.

Sucking up to the floor leader

not only may not make you rich,

but may leave you with nothing.

Anyhow,

are you really gonna build a library on such a valuable land, boss?

Hey, hey. Stop calling him a boss.

Who do you think we are, mobsters?

Come on.

Sorry, boss. I mean, Mr. Mayor

It's alright.

Mr. Mayor, your next appointment is waiting.

Okay, thank you.

Mr. Gye,

think over what I said.

You don't want to make a fuss

out of something so trivial.

Yes, Mr. Mayor. Can we take a picture together?

-Sure. -Hey, hey!

Don't take a picture.

It's alright.

One, two...

Don't post it on Facebook or Twitter.

Sure thing.

I'll see you soon, boss.

-Thank you for coming. -Sure.

Take care.

Jong-gu.

Having people like that in your office before the election

won't do you any good.

What a fine day!

Is it just me

or does that blue roof look even more blue today?

My Haechi, come here.

Good afternoon, Mr. Mayor.

Oh my.

-It's been a while. -Yes.

I should mention that you were quite impressive

-at the concert. -Thank you.

Your dog is so cute!

This is not a dog.

It's a baby wolf.

Ms. Park.

When I say this is a baby wolf,

your job...

is to make people believe that it is really a baby wolf.

Do you understand?

That's what elections are like.

Let's try again.

-What is this? -A wolf.

No.

How can this be a wolf? It's a puppy.

Yes, it is a puppy.

That's right.

That's it.

You have to tell me, of all people, the truth.

That's what family members do.

Politics is essentially

a family business.

Happy birthday, dear brother Bong.

Happy birthday to you.

If we are not careful,

our party will take a fatal blow.

A scandal like this involving the floor leader

is very detrimental.

Of course, I don't believe our leader

was actually a part of it.

Hey, Mayor Byeon!

People are saying

that you are trying to eliminate Mr. Kim

before the presidential election to run for it yourself.

That shithead is running his mouth again.

Goddamn it, that lunatic.

I can end you, you know.

You sound like you're going to hit me.

Come on, you guys.

I won't deny

that there is a rumor like that

going around.

You leave me speechless.

You see,

there is a reason for why such rumor started.

Do you think I'm some lunatic

spreading those rumors myself?

That's why you need to step up your game.

I mean, accepting bribe from mobsters?

Come on, that's just embarrassing.

What did you say, you little shit?

What's the point of graduating from Seoul National University?

What a fool.

What's happening?

This party is truly eventful.

How dare you!

Sit down, sit down!

What is that library for anyway?

You two need to behave!

-What do you think you're doing? -I'm sorry.

You all need to stop harassing Jong-gu so much.

I am the only one who's run for president.

A thing that like only works out when the stars align for it.

No one can predict it.

I worked hard for it.

Seoul is filled with corruption and wrongdoings.

We can no longer allow it.

A society where people come first,

that is the central value of future Seoul.

Economic inequality

is the absolute evil that needs to be rooted out.

I am Yang Jin-ju, Candidate #2.

From now on...

it looks like it's made by students. Too amateur.

What are you talking about?

It's telling all the essential messages. We haven't even made one yet.

Tell me, why are we always a step behind Yang?

You see, an advertisement

cannot be created overnight.

What is her name?

Park Gyeong?

-Yeah, that one. -What I am saying is--

Bring her in now.

Hey, Nepotism Park!

Yeah, you.

Come up here. Right now.

Come on in.

Do you think

you can

make our campaign commercial by tomorrow?

A campaign commercial?

No one can make it overnight.

I will try it.

-That's it. -What?

That's what I want to hear.

Mr. Mayor.

She's a newbie and doesn't realize--

Mr. Jeong.

Yes.

We need someone who can do it well right now.

Yes, right now.

Go on and keep acting up like that.

It is the absolute evil.

It's good.

I am Yang Jin-ju, Candidate #2

Byeon's commercial is right after ours, right?

Right.

What's this?

A technical problem?

Everything must be changed.

I am Yang Jin-ju, Candidate #2.

An absolute evil that needs to be rooted out.

Economic inequality is

the central value of future Seoul.

A society where people come first.

We can no longer allow it.

Seoul is filled with corruption and wrongdoings.

We worked hard for it.

BYEON JONG-GU IS DIFFERENT CANDIDATE #1

-What the... -Can they do that?

What about our copyright?

Unbelievable.

File a suit for copyright infringement.

They must be furious.

-All work for 4 years... -Funny?

That's not advertisement. That's a fraud.

That little amateur dumb-ass is

ruining the election for us.

Did you look into their copyright?

Are you gonna take account for it when we are sued?

Goddamn it.

What do you think?

Sure.

I will take care of the law suit.

It's not bad.

Thank you.

Our video has made the top search right now.

Yes.

Where?

Sangam-dong? Isn't that a metro construction site?

Breaking news.

A 22 meters wide and 8 meters deep sinkhole appeared

on a six-lane road in Sangam-dong near Gayang Bridge.

Mapo police and the fire department

-has been dispatched for emergency rescue. -Hand me a mirror.

The construction workers

who were working on a new metro line near the sinkhole

have not yet been found.

Mapo police has formed up an investigation team

and dispatched all personnel--

Mayor Byeon is here.

We have 14 deaths and 17 missing!

Let us assess the situation first.

Please excuse us.

Holy...

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor!

-Mr. Mayor! -We need to see what it's like!

I will stay here from now on.

Keep all our people ready around the clock.

Okay.

District D which is 50 meters away from the sinkhole

has hard foundation due to the apartment complex nearby.

I am afraid we won't find any more survivors.

Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Believe that there will be more survivors.

We can do this.

Yes, sir.

Jong-gu.

I sent out the media guidelines

to all major news agencies.

They know where we stand.

It's not like we are asking them to tell a lie.

They all said they will cooperate.

The problem is the TV debate.

Heo Man-gil and Yang Jin-ju will

eat you alive with this sinkhole accident.

They will be like vultures.

Hyuk-soo.

In the situation we are in,

do you think it's more urgent to shut them up?

Or...

comforting those crying babies outside?

If we don't give them something soon,

they will turn against us to spit and throw rocks.

That's what's important.

Mr. Mayor.

-Hey. -I brought you breakfast.

-How is Chef Park? -Good.

I hope they put in croakers. They're in season now.

-There it is. -Wow.

Even a cup noodle is going to throw people over the edge, but this?

Hand me chopsticks.

Delicious.

We'll begin now.

This is where the mayor is.

Let's go inside.

Mr. Mayor.

-Oh my. -The rescue team is here.

-Thank you for all your hard work. -Thank you.

I will put a halt to the race

and pray as if they were my children.

I gathered the opinion poll until 8 p.m. and they think

-the city should be accountable-- -Am I early?

Hi.

I got it. Get back to the camp.

See you later!

Come on in.

This rain is making things harder for you, Mr. Mayor.

I know.

Did you have dinner yet?

I'm on a diet.

That's ridiculous.

-I talked to the director yesterday. -You did?

He was complaining about you

that you are quite a rebel these days.

He must be getting senile.

Why would he say that?

Did you see Yang Jin-ju? She's acting like she's already won.

I didn't like her from the beginning. Unbuttoning her blouse at the press...

It's just so hard to like her.

That is why

people don't like politicians.

Must she use a tragedy like this

for her advantage?

We are in competition,

but we should still uphold ethical values, don't you think?

She's made it into a dog fight.

Korean election is not a site for a dog fight!

The city is doing everything

to manage the current situation.

We're doing our best to save people.

She should be helping us.

We have to put out this fire first

and then talk about who's responsible and hold accountability.

The media is only representing the opposition party,

where they should be impartial and fact-based.

It's hard to be impartial, you know.

You are wasting your talent.

What?

You are too good to be still doing field work.

I bet the Future Party has already contacted you.

Not just me.

They are talking with a lot of people.

Tell me, do you have any good news?

Your election victory would be the best news for me.

City's safety that Byeon Jong-gu completely ruined.

This should be our marketing point from now on.

This is only temporary. We should keep level-headed.

Min-sun, things are going our way now.

Quit spoiling the good mood.

How about we bring Steve?

I have a feeling that we will win.

Your son?

-Your son is not going to help. -Yes, election is all about the image.

A happy family won't hurt.

He goes to Harvard law school and wrote a best selling book.

Do you know how many followers he has?

They will attack you with his nationality and your divorce.

You know how it is.

That's why we didn't bring him.

We should be rational.

Steve is a bad call.

This is King Jeongjo's relic that was auctioned at 100 million won 3 weeks ago.

Who's the big buyer?

None other than the wife of our current mayor

who makes a little over a hundred million won a year.

Just tell them that you don't know anything about it.

I'll take care of the rest.

I reported on dog meat restaurants not long ago.

I went to every dog farm in the country.

You know what's amazing about those dogs?

When the butcher appears,

the dogs start to pee themselves and whimper.

But to our eyes, they just look like everyone else.

Ordinary men.

How do the dogs know?

They can smell the blood.

Why are you bringing this up?

Politicians and those dog butchers are the same.

They have the same stench.

A stench that stays with them forever.

Byeon Jong-gu, Shim Hyuk-soo, and people like that

have the worst stench.

Anyways,

the scandal about Byeon's wife isn't gonna go away soon.

First the sinkhole and now this...

You should take the strongest measure from the beginning.

I bet you have something

that can make you look good to Shim and help me hit the headlines.

Right?

Why are they making such a big fuss?

It's not even that expensive.

Don't do this.

Come on, Reporter Kim.

We'll talk later.

Did you buy a painting?

-It's not a painting. -Bring it to me..

Read it.

Go on, read it.

Honey.

Read it!

I am sorry.

I made a mistake.

You just don't have a sense of judgment, do you?

No, please! Not the face.

I need to be campaigning with you.

You're right.

Did you hit her again?

What did you say?

I'm glad she bought it.

She's on TV now.

Now that she's on TV, I can finally see your face.

How dare you!

Do you even know why she keeps buying paintings?

She can't even do that now?

What can we do then?

Are we some puppets that shouldn't do anything?

I am so sick of being your puppet.

I don't care about your politics.

I saw Ah-reum's car. Didn't she come with you?

I came alone.

Thank you for taking care of my mother at the city hospital.

She had a comfortable stay.

Be good to her now. Otherwise, you will regret it later.

Man...

I always wanted to eat this when I was young.

Do you remember?

After I finished my shift at the factory, I would pass by here.

And when I would say hi to your mother,

she would give me scraps of meat

to take home.

I do remember.

Did my palate change?

It doesn't taste the same.

Things are not going well these days, huh?

It's hard for everyone, not just me.

The young ones have it hard in their own way,

and the old ones too.

Just getting by is hard.

And for us politicians,

we strive to grab power

and sacrifice everything along the way.

It's interesting.

We have 15 days until the election.

With the sinkhole tragedy and the scandal involving his wife,

Mayor Byeon's rating has dropped.

The competition with Yang...

What's this?

Damn.

Chief Seo? This is Mayor Byeon.

I am on Choongjeong-ro

and it seems like they are checking for drunk drivers.

I'm in a rush to get somewhere.

Can you tell them to withdraw? Yes, it's urgent.

Okay.

Good.

Goddamn it.

Withdraw!

-Let them go. -Withdraw!

-Honey, it's the mayor. -I got it.

-Mr. Mayor. -Gil-su.

I found him, Mr. Mayor.

He's a soldier.

He's from 18th division.

Any surveillance cameras?

Thankfully, there weren't any surveillance cameras.

What about the black box in the car?

I took care of the black box in your daughter's car.

-Okay. -Okay.

Thankfully, there weren't any surveillance cameras.

What about the black box in the car?

I took care of the black box in your daughter's car.

BYEON'S PR DIRECTOR MR.J ARRESTED FOR PROSTITUTION

Move far away

from Seoul, okay?

Take this and wipe your ass with it.

A person with a weak spot tends to be more loyal, but now...

-Shit! -Goddamn it.

Did you meet Jeong Jae-yi yesterday?

She's my college alumnus, so we had dinner together.

I see.

Is it a coincidence

that Jeong Jae-yi did an exclusive report on Ok-bae's case?

Yes, it was me.

His prostitution scandal would have been caught by either Yang's or Heo's camp

-So... -Are you working on this election alone?

You know the term trash journalist.

She's a notorious bitch for being an enemy within.

I apologize, but...

I thought it was time to play that card.

It silenced Mrs. Byeon's issue too.

From now on,

report to me first.

What the hell is a Java?

Oh, never mind. Do your thing.

Yes, sir.

Major General Park? Yes, it's me.

Wasn't there a deserter from your division?

Yeah.

Well, a hiker found a body.

The election is right around the corner.

This is going be scandalous if we are not careful.

If this leaks to the media, it's gonna be a headache

for both you and I.

This has nothing to do with your loyalty to me.

Did you put blood in your hands lately?

B... blood?

No, there was nothing like that.

Yeah? Well, it'll happen soon.

Or not. Don't worry too much.

Feed me again.

But someone is hiding something.

What.... do you mean?

I see a death.

It will make its way around and pierce through your heart.

However, be resilient.

As if you are in deep water, just stick out your neck and survive.

You will feel very lonely.

The world doesn't know you.

And that you are the real thing.

Let me feed you. Open your mouth.

Shim Hyuk-soo sent me.

Needless to say, it's confidential.

CUE SHEET FOR MAYORAL ELECTION TV DEBATE

When the mayor

puts his hands together like this,

I'll move onto the next question.

You got it?

I got it.

-Hold on. -Yes?

This won't work.

The color is too bright.

This color goes with your suit.

Listen to me, I am not on a runway show.

The city is in mourning right now.

-Fetch me a different one. -I am sorry.

Hi, excuse me.

-Can I borrow your tie? -My tie?

Here, take a look at this.

What is it?

I got it for you.

Good work.

Thank you.

-Let's play fair. -Good to see you.

I know...

that you will attack me about the sinkhole tragedy.

Take it easy, okay?

It was a natural disaster and there wasn't anything to be done.

How is this a natural disaster? It's a man-made disaster.

Good evening

The most important election to determine

the new leader of Seoul is right around the corner.

The three candidates here today

will discuss their pledges, policies

as well as their competencies.

Let us begin with candidate Yang Jin-ju.

I am speechless in the wake of what happened.

How are we supposed to cope with this level of danger?

I will do my utmost to make Seoul a safe city

and a happy place to live.

First, my heart is with those who have lost their lives

due to this tragedy.

We must look after the marginalized

first and foremost in order for Seoul to thrive.

I will be the rescue team for our city.

I have been

at the site of the tragedy for the last couple of days

day and night.

You are right.

It is my fault and I will be held accountable.

They say, "Why mend the barn after the horse is stolen?"

But we do have to mend what's been damaged.

We must mend it stronger

and sturdier.

Answer my question first.

This was about the subway construction. Don't veer away from the topic

My question was on topic.

Based on assumption,

-you're trying to dodge the ball-- -Whether or not it's an assumption

will be decided by our citizens.

My understanding is that the matter

has not been investigated adequately.

Yes, that's right. It is yet to be confirmed--

-Can I speak? -Do not try to deceive our citizens.

We are

We are trying to figure out the cause--

You are pointing to me as the cause.

We cannot overrule the opinion of the expert group.

Would you like to go into the sinkhole yourself and find out?

You said that you will take responsibility, but now...

-You're blaming... -Okay.

Candidate Heo, you have waited long enough.

-Tell us your opinion. -For the last eight years,

your construction budget has amounted to

24 trillion won.

Mending things afterwards... Is that your hobby?

I... Well...

The city I am envisioning is not just a place where you can make a living

but a place where

one can dream again...

That's the basic sketch of what I am painting.

You sure are fond of paintings.

Speaking of which,

what your wife bought recently...

Why don't you speak up? This kind of haphazard behavior

can lead to another sinkhole tragedy.

Byeon Jong-gu...

Mr. Mayor!

What! What?

Mr. Mayor, are you aright?

Call 911!

How bad is the drop?

Dropped by 2%.

That's serious.

What's the gap?

They almost caught up. It's 4% difference.

Jong-gu.

It has been a continuous downfall since the race began.

Heo Man-gil has run out of money.

If he decides to endorse Yang Jin-ju,

we are doomed.

We should make a move first.

Have him endorse us?

Yes.

Let's do it.

Did you all enjoy the debate?

Yes.

What was the mayor

so embarrassed about?

When does one lose confidence?

When does one lose courage?

Courage comes from integrity.

I believe that Mayor Byeon

is a man without integrity.

Do I look ridiculous?

This is my only hobby.

They say nice shoes take you to nice places.

Sir,

about endorsement,

Mayor and Heo Man-gil have completely different political colors.

-Colors? -Yes.

When colors are mixed again and again,

it just becomes black.

Let us all go to

a nice place.

I shot it myself.

Thankfully, there weren't any surveillance cameras.

What about the black box in the car?

I took care of the black box in your daughter's car.

-Is this the original copy? -Yes.

This is valuable.

Very valuable.

Good work.

Byeon Jong-gu!

Let's win, Byeon Jong-gu!

Let's get it, Byeon Jong-gu!

My throat...

Hey, come here.

He's fought and beat everyone in this neighborhood

and wants to join our gang

So I brought him here and told him he's in if he beats the head master.

Well, I am actually

a counselor for juvenile delinquents as well.

It seems that politicians are the same.

They forget where they belong

and end up like that kid. Right?

I was a prosecutor before I do politics, you little shit.

I can give you 10 years in jail in a snap.

So shut the fuck up.

I am so sorry.

Do as I say and you will get what you want.

Otherwise, you will rot in prison.

Sure, boss. I mean, Mr. Prosecutor.

I mean, Mr. Mayor. No, Prosecutor. I mean, Congressman.

How much cash can you distribute today?

Without leaving a trace.

About 1 billion won.

Okay.

Everything's set up. You just need to deliver it.

You want to change the land usage for this place?

Yes.

But am I going to be in trouble for this?

Another jail time

isn't going to kill you.

What, are you looking to serve in government?

No, but since when did get

so close to Mayor Byeon?

Keep it up and you will become a gangster of your dreams.

One with the weak spot

always obeys.

Motherfuckers.

This isn't our first time running a race.

Did the floor leader Kim tell you to do this?

I am not that stupid.

He may seem like the big shot now,

but in the long run,

I want to be by your side. That's what the endorsement is for.

Why the sudden change of heart?

I figured I would get a larger dividend by betting on you.

I'm showing all my cards right now,

so just take my words as they are.

Okay?

Thank you.

I, Heo Man-gil, will be on the front line to make Seoul a safe city.

-We got the money. -Really?

Good job.

Fellow citizens!

We just reached the target amount

of our Heo Man-gil and Friends fund!

Thank you!

Thank you.

I'll win to ensure your contribution doesn't go to waste.

Excuse us, congressman.

Unbelievable.

What do you want?

Let's unify.

Are you giving up and endorsing our candidate?

I will turn a blind eye to the illegal fund you received.

What the fuck?

But only if we win,

How much do you want for commission?

Trashy politicians like you

made Korea as it is now.

Unify? If we resign now, they will reimburse our expenses.

But,

joining with you? Never.

I'll take that as a no, okay?

I'm leaving.

Leaving, I said.

Okay?

I'm pretending to be thinking!

Sit down.

What's your thought on unification?

-Sorry? -Getting Heo's endorsement.

This may not be my place to say so...

But I'm against it if you ask me.

There might be something to gain,

but you have to have the right cause in politics.

But in this case, there is none.

You two have different views,

which is evident in the career choices you made so far.

You're not a salesman, Mr. Mayor.

You must see things in the long run.

How old are you?

I'm 26.

Same age as my daughter, Ah-reum.

So, are you going back to advertisement after the election?

No, I would like to pursue this career.

I wore this watch during my first term. I want you to have it.

But...

Let's go.

CONGRESSMAN BYEON JONG-GU

I keep getting calls from Heo's campaign.

I'm against unification.

You have nothing in common from policies to organization.

Do you know what it's like to be a woman in Korean politics?

I know you have it hard.

Let's unify with Heo.

You said you will run for next presidential as well.

Maybe this is my chance.

You will only gain a couple of swing votes.

-You will lose them again fast-- -Congresswoman!

-Excuse me. -What can I do for you?

Yes?

Can we take a picture together?

Sir, this isn't appropriate.

-I am sorry. -I've been a fan since your first term.

It's alright.

Just press the button in the center.

-Done? -Thank you.

-I'll cheer for you! -Thank you for the support.

Thank you, good luck!

Right now, a lot of reporters gathered

in front of Candidate Byeon's office.

As many predicted,

there will be an announcement

of Candidate Heo's endorsement for Candidate Byeon.

Once the unification becomes official, he will be far ahead of Yang Jin-ju,

surely taking an upper hand in this race.

From Candidate Byeon's office,

I'm Jeong Jae-yi.

-Hello? -Hey bro! I mean, Mr. Prosecutor.

No, I mean congressman.

You understand that I can't quite trust politicians.

I did what you asked,

but I couldn't just ignore

-Why is Heo Man-gil there? -Mayor Byeon's request.

I am a businessman, you know.

I, Heo Man-gil, hereby announce, for the greater good of Seoul,

that I resign from this race

to endorse

candidate Yang Jin-ju.

-Candidate Heo just announced... -What the?

his endorsement for candidate Yang Jin-ju.

-About 2/3 of Heo's vote will move to... -I gotta look out for myself.

-Hey! -This will surely shake up the race.

-Especially for candidate Byeon Jong-gu, -Goddamn rats.

this poses a crucial threat

There will be a press conference by candidate Byeon Jong-gu.

It will be interesting to see what Mr. Byeon has to say

since he expected the endorsement for himself.

We have some problem.

-Do we have everyone? -Yes, Mr. Mayor.

Mr. Mayor is on his way.

Quiet down, please.

-A word, Mr. Mayor? -Yes, I will speak.

I do not have the slightest intent to be a part of

such a filthy political coalition.

However, since you are all here,

I have something to show you.

-Stay there. -Let me through.

Let me explain.

This statement shows Candidate Heo's

illegal political funds.

This document shows that

Heo received funds from illegal sources.

What's more startling is that it contains financial transactions

between Heo and candidate Yang.

I have a photograph here.

Do you see candidate Yang?

In order to hide his crimes,

candidate Heo initially tried to

unify with my campaign.

I would strongly like to urge candidate Yang

to thoroughly explain

such atrocious deeds.

So was the unification planned?

Thank you.

-Mr. Mayor! -Answer the question, Mr. Mayor!

You should put together a statement

rejecting Heo's endorsement,

and have our legal team...

legal team...

Ms. Im.

-You're not planning to resign, right? -Watch it!

Then, please listen to me.

You don't know what opportunities await us.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

You saw this coming and sent Gye Bong-sik to Yang?

Sure.

How can I unify with someone so essentially different?

You could've at least given me a heads up.

Why didn't you say anything?

I thought we'd be partners until you enter the Blue House.

Partners?

Of course we are partners.

Actually more than partners. You are a comrade in arms.

Listen, Hyuk-soo.

I am really not that

different from you.

But,

we really shouldn't stoop that low.

My intuition is the only weapon that saves me

when I'm on a crossroad between life and death.

Great move, Mr. Mayor!

Let's widen the gap even further!

Maybe we should stop Byeon from running his show.

What do you mean, stop his show?

Do you know how many voters live in Seoul?

Three terms in the congress, and two terms as a mayor.

He's become too arrogant.

One should fall from the horse once in a while

to see what's around him.

I don't know

what card you have,

but if you don't play it right,

you will ruin the entire game.

I have a really good one.

I just need you to set up a good cover for me.

Then I will make it all worthwhile for you.

These days when I sleep, I always dream that

I am a member of the supreme council.

What a silly dream, isn't it?

What is that card?

Give me a hint.

I will make you a supreme council member.

It's not a silly dream.

Thank you.

What a day it has been.

Let's call it a day.

He always tells me to do better.

Hey, look.

"Former PR director, Jeong Ok-bae throws himself off of Mapo Bridge."

-What? -Is he okay?

He shouldn't have been fired for something minor like that.

He's not dead.

Don't you worry. It's not life-threatening at all.

That dumbass is trying so hard to show off.

You had a conviction!

You made the judgment based on your conviction.

Then that's it. End of discussion.

What if my conviction is wrong?

There is no right or wrong in where we work.

Come on.

Let's talk about something else.

I heard that

the relationship between Shim and Byeon has gone astray.

What are you talking about?

You know, because of the whole unification ordeal.

Everyone is saying that they are finished.

It's not like that!

Come on, they can't work together after what happened.

Would you?

No one tells you anything in your camp, do they?

Who knows! Maybe it's not what it used to be!

Exactly.

I thought so.

Hi.

Hi.

-How are you feeling? -Excuse me?

As you just heard, the rumor about the trouble between Shim and Byeon

SOURCES REVEAL THAT BYEON'S CAMP FACES FRICTION

is almost an official fact within his camp.

Since the unification effort has gone awry,

Byeon's approval rating has gone up

by a slight amount.

So under such circumstances,

the friction between Byeon and Shim...

Ma Min-su, the private second class stationed at the 18th division

has been found dead after he deserted his station.

We have confirmed the CCTV and identified the SUV

that passed through the spot at the time of the accident...

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: BLACK BOX VIDEO OF THE SUSPECT VEHICLE

It's been confirmed that the onwer of the car

is the daughter

of Candidate B, who is running in the mayoral election.

Military authorities confirmed that the funeral has already taken place

and that there will be no further investigation.

I'm Jeong Jae-yi of YTN News

What can I do?

It already happened.

I promise you that I will get you out in two weeks.

This is no big deal, okay?

-Hey -You scumbag!

You crazy monster!

How do you do that to your own daughter?

How can you ask her to do such a thing for you?

You're a monster!

Then what?

You want all of us

to go down together?

If I go down,

you go with me.

And so does Ah-reum.

Everything you have here

will be gone.

Still, how can you?

I am sick of politics!

I am sick of it!

You sold your own daughter!

How can you call yourself a father?

How can you?

You scum!

Please help me.

You must!

Dear fellow Koreans,

and fellow citizens of Seoul.

As was reported recently,

my daughter has been found guilty

of the death

of private Ma Min-su.

I would like to express my deepest condolescence

and give my most sincere apology to private Ma and his family.

Although...

it's my daughter who caused

this tragedy,

as her father, I share the utmost sense of responsibility

and will make sure that appropriate actions are taken.

Once again, I offer my deepest apology.

How can you ask him to care for our city

when he can't even educate his own daughter properly?

And to hear him speak of

education and library. It's ridiculous.

Let me introduce you

to my new ally

who graduated from Harvard

and is currently serving as a US lawyer.

He is my political ally.

Steve Hong!

Hello, citizens of Seoul.

I am Hong Seok-chan, Candidate Yang Jin-ju's son.

And I would like to ask for your support for Yang Jin-ju

who will clean up the mess that Mayor Byeon created.

Yang Jin-ju! Yang Jin-ju!

Byeon Jong-gu! Byeon Jong-gu!

Hi, good afternoon.

Good to meet you. I would appreciate your support.

-Hey! -Yes, ma'am.

-Your daughter is a disgrace. -Yes.

Father of a hit-and-run can't be our mayor!

Get... What are you doing?

Resign already!

-Candidate #1. -Please support candidate #1.

Thank you for your support.

It looks more like a marijuana than a cigarette.

It's definitely a joint.

-Hold on! -This can work.

-I'm sorry, but did you say marijuana? -Yeah?

How do you know if it's marijuana or not?

I don't, but this could be her weak spot

This can ruin his life,

yet you want to go ahead without any proof?

We can't do that

Mr. Shim,

It's okay. Go ahead.

Yes, sir.

Sir, we need to check the facts first.

Just post the photo in a confusing tone.

The internet will do the rest.

They will turn him into a drug addict, a dealer, or whatever.

They will surely do a good job, right?

Yes, sir.

What are you waiting for? It's a fine photo.

Sir.

What?

We are not some tabloids magazine.

Go to the Twitter site.

Just post the picture.

Go ahead. Click.

Click, I said.

It's done, sir.

You don't want to get your hands dirty anymore?

Is that it?

Guess what. They are already filthy.

Shall I tell you how many election regulations you broke?

Who maliciously edited the video before Byeon declared his candidacy?

Who got the cue sheet before the debate?

You told me to do that!

But you did it.

A professional will still meet the target

even if the relationship ended in the process.

I'm not fond of Mr. Byeon.

But I'm gonna make him win this election.

Why?

Because ends justify the means.

Vote for candidate #2 Yang Jin-ju!

Steve! Steve!

Tell me the truth.

-Did you do drugs? -I didn't!

I'm telling you the truth!

Well then, let's find the nearest hospital.

We will do an open drug test in front of journalists.

A drug test?

That's the fastest way to prove

-that he is innocent. -Hey!

-This could be a blessing in disguise. -Hey!

I have to think about my future career.

I don't be a politician who was tested for drugs!

Let's hold off on the test.

It might actually increase the suspicion

It's more suspicious not to get tested!

Hey! Zip it up!

-Stop it. -What do you take me for?

Stop it, Steve.

We'll just release a statement saying it's false.

Don't mind her.

-Hey! -Oh!

We may be racing against each other,

but I am growing fond of you

now that we see each other so often.

You must be the famous...

-His name is Steve. -Yes, Steve!

Hello, Mr. Mayor. I'm Hong Seok-chan.

His Korean is pretty good!

I may not be as eloquent as you,

but I am more truthful.

-Mr. Hong. -Wow.

I like your confidence.

Why would such a fine man

waste away on drugs?

-Mayor Byeon! -My heart goes out to you, Mr. Mayor.

This level of scandal with children usually leads to

resignation in the U.S.

I admire your spirits!

However,

that's the U.S.

Go back if you are so fond of it.

We'll see you later.

Let's go.

That was absolutely unnecessary.

-How is that supposed to help us? -Seriously, you need to back off!

Stop it.

He didn't say anything wrong.

Hurry and get in.

Congresswoman,

I think this is it for us.

-What? -Hey!

It has been an honor serving you.

What is she saying?

Hey!

-Hey, Gyeong! -Yes.

-Come and get a drink. -I'll come soon.

-We'll see you at the bar. -Will do!

What's wrong with it again?

Steve Hong, the son of Yang Jin-ju

who's running for mayor in the upcoming general election,

has been charged with drug possession

by the prosecutors' office.

I am certain that we have been set up by Byeon Jong-gu camp.

I, Yang Jin-ju,

can bet my political career on--

Miss.

There are a couple of wiretapping applications downloaded.

-Wiretapping? -Yes.

Once downloaded, all your phone calls

and text messages will be recorded,

even when you're not using the phone.

You gotta be careful.

Looks like someone downloaded them.

-Hi. -Come on in.

Their natto is wonderful.

They get it shipped from Osaka.

Here, I'll make one for you.

I don't eat natto. It stinks like someone's foot.

Come on.

It's because you're still young.

Once you get old, you crave food like this.

Help yourself.

This is sea urchin from Hokkaido.

Let's see...

how long have we known each other?

When you were first assigned to the city hall,

I think I was serving my first term.

Eight years ago already.

Already?

Time really flies.

But with 8 years of acquaintances, what you did lately

was so mean.

I thought our relationship was better than that.

You could have at least given me a heads up.

If our relationship continues like this,

it's too much of a tragedy, don't you think?

Well, the best dramas

are always tragic.

It's so cathartic to choose to be or not to be.

I get it. But if I can no longer be,

I'd still like to know who brought my demise.

I deserve it as the main character.

Mr. Mayor,

the life of a journalist hangs on her sources.

You are rude to ask such question.

Now you're scaring me.

Jeong,

I think it's time you join us.

The time has come.

I already set it up for you.

Who else knows about this?

You're the only one.

This is rather common

in our field of work.

You don't have to worry.

I got it from now on.

You should

focus on the election.

Mr. Mayor,

do you have any idea who did it?

What about you?

Gil-su.

How long have you worked for me?

It's been ten years.

Things haven't been easy lately.

Haven't been to your residence in a while.

You could have called.

You know I'm busy with election.

Hyuk-soo.

Did I offend you?

Why are you doing this to me?

You shouldn't.

Well,

I don't know what you're talking about.

Let me be blunt.

What do you want from me?

Tell me, what is it?

I don't want anything from you.

You want me to give up the library?

Or just hand Seoul over to you?

You want to be the next mayor?

I want to work for you.

It's you who keeps pushing me away.

I'm only beginning my second term.

I'm just a toddler.

It's way too fast.

Hey, look.

It's Byeong Jong-gu...

that you're looking at.

It's not someone else.

How do you think I came this far?

Tell me.

Well,

let me ask you a favor.

No more tricks.

We have to finish the election.

Once that's done,

at the right time,

you and I will talk.

I will pick the right time.

Until then,

don't push me away.

Okay.

Don't you worry.

Haechi!

Your dad must be lonely now that Ah-reum is gone.

A scratch, shit.

Where's brown?

Who's in there?

Come out!

Gil-su?

You bastard!

Did Jong-gu send you?

He told you to fetch something?

-Is that it? -Please let me go.

Working for Byeon Jong-gu

has turned you into a dog.

Yes.

You only do

what you are told to do.

This is why someone like Byeon Jong-gu

should never become our president.

-Don't do this, please. -Let go!

-I will be forever indebted to you. -How dare you!

-I'm a congressman! -Don't do this!

-Forgive me, please! -Let go.

-You're not innocent either. -Let go, I said!

I will be indebted to you until I die. Please don't do this!

You bastard!

What did I do wrong? Huh?

Can't you just stay quiet by the mayor's side?

Son of a bitch!

I will shut you up!

Congressman.

Congressman!

What?

Dead?

Did you find it though?

Answer the question!

Calm down and listen to me.

I'm going to send over a man.

Just stay there and don't leave, okay?

Answer me if you understand.

Answer me!

We have lost a salt of the earth politician.

The philosophy and values that he demonstrated

throughout his life

and his remarkable competency

will be a lasting example

to his fellow congressmen.

He was a colleague

carrying out his civil duties with patriotic heart and passion.

But outside the congress,

he would call me a brother

and we would often meet

to have a drink

and joke around.

He was a brother to me.

A person is only dead

when no one remembers him anymore.

Dramatic, isn't it?

No one can foresee

what happens in one's life.

We can't even see what's right in front of us.

Why did you want to see me?

Are you still mad at me?

Come on. That was ages ago.

We were both being professional

and we did our jobs.

So what story

are you trying to get out of me this time?

Don't you think this is bizarre?

It just doesn't add up.

He has no motives for committing suicide.

You mentioned dog butchers once.

You are beginning to have the same stench.

And you don't?

His family supposedly rejected the autopsy.

Don't you smell something?

Well, autopsy isn't going to

bring him back.

It's more like killing him twice.

He said he had something valuable.

Something valuable...

Why would he commit suicide?

As soon as the election is over, the party will conduct

a full investigation.

Sure, do as it's in the protocol.

More importantly,

What?

I'm giving up the library.

Do you mean it?

Hyuk-soo always wanted me to.

And I don't want to quarrel with you anymore.

It doesn't look good.

So I'm saving your face this time.

Let's be friends.

Then,

what about the presidential race? Are you giving up?

That's a bit too early, isn't it?

Why are you bringing it up already?

As all the party seniors wish,

let's unite our forces for now.

Hyuk-soo finally brings us together.

I have no doubt that he is resting in peace.

This was also a gift from him.

Following the tragic death of the campaign director, Shim Hyuk-soo,

the approval raiting of Byeon Jong-gu is moving upward

due to the sympathy of the voters.

The mayoral election tomorrow

is likely to be a close race.

What about the surveillance camera?

There weren't any surveillance cameras.

What about the black box in the car?

I took care of the black box in your daughter's car.

Mr. Mayor, I found the body.

He's a soldier. He's from 18th division.

Yes.

BYEON JONG-GU YANG JIN-JU

It was hard to predict

the result of this election

due to many scandals involving candidates' family members.

It will be interesting to see how many voters

turned to Byeon Jong-gu after the death of Shim Hyuk-soo.

Here is the exit poll.

50.2% for Yang Jin-ju.

48.1% for Byeon Jong-gu.

It's a very tight race.

As of 9:15 p.m., 11% of the votes have been counted.

With 323,407 votes, Byeon is leading slightly ahead of

Yang Jin-ju by 5,200 votes.

It's a little different from the exit poll.

Let's get back to Seoul.

Candidate Yang Jin-ju has turned the table.

60% of the votes have been counted as of now.

Byeon Jong-gu of New Freedom Party has turned it around again.

Some of the other districts have finalized their elected officials,

but Seoul is still a neck-and-neck race.

Candidate Byeon Jong-gu's victory is confirmed!

With 93.4% of votes counted,

Byeon Jong-gu of New Freedom Party

becomes the third term mayor of Seoul for the first time in Korea's history.

Byeon Jong-gu! Byeon Jong-gu!

We won! We won!

Yes.

Come in.

Good work.

I would like the nomination speech to be short.

People don't like it when it's long.

What time do we have to be there?

What are you doing?

Everything I received while working here.

It's in the USB drive.

What happened on the day

when Private Ma died of car accident.

Oh, I've been looking for it.

Turn yourself in.

If I do,

who would believe me?

Someone else will take the blame again. You know?

You are young

with a long future ahead of you.

Don't make an enemy for life. You'll be lonely.

No.

I will never become the next Shim Hyuk-soo.

Rather,

it's you who will end up lonely.

You must have many plans.

So what are you going to do?

I'll go back

to being a voter that you people consider to be so insignificant.

Step by step,

I will bring judgment onto you.

Look here.

It really is good to be young.

Throughout life,

we make endless number of choices.

Life is a choice, in a way.

The choices you make

sometimes lead you to a silk road,

and sometimes a thorny road.

However, the choices that are made based on

immature conviction is very dangerous.

Going back to being a voter?

It's your choice.

You may freely walk out of here.

But I hope...

that you'll make a wise choice.

Yes.

-Hey. -Congratulations, Mr. Mayor!

-Now we have a presidential to prepare! -Come on in

-Have a seat. -Okay.

I will uphold the noble support of the citizens of Seoul

and do my utmost to repay you.

As I did the last eight years,

I will think of nothing else but the city of Seoul and our citizens

and move forward.

Please water over me.

Thank you.

About Park Gyeong,

we should find her a job at YTN

or International Daily

or other newspapers like that.

She's not working with us?

She still has a lot to learn to be a part of the team.

She needs more training.

But she will be useful one day,

so let's keep a close eye.

Open your mouth.

-Pardon? -Say "Ah."

Ah.

Again, say "Ah."

-Ah. -Ah.

Gil-su.

You and I will be

together until the end, okay?

Okay?
