Episode 19
- Where are we? - Just hold on.
Straight ahead.
You had me blindfolded since we left home!
We're almost there.
Where are we going?
You're fine. Keep walking.
Almost there.
Do you really have to do this?
Are we somewhere fun?
Are we somewhere nice?
One, two, three... tada!
Congratulations!
What is this? You guys are so...
You're going to make me cry.
What is this place anyway?
Honey, this is where you're going to work from now on.
We work here, too, now.
In the service department.
And I'm still a special recruit... in charge of the insurance department.
And I'm a sales associate.
And I'm still Manager Kim Chang Shik.
Here? We work here?
Here?
Yes.
Then what about my percentage of the ownership?
Right here.
Right here! Here? Really?
How did you get this place?
It looks like I'm late on my first day of work. I'm sorry.
S-s-song Man Deuk!
Welcome.
What brings you here, Mr. Song?
- General manager, right? - Yes.
Forgive me for the late introduction. I'm the new recruit Song Man Deuk.
This is my pleasure. I-I'm Manager Kim Chang Shik.
New recruit! Song Man Deuk!
The one of the Four Kings of auto sales!
- The Four Kings! Four... - Yes, it's him!
He's the true manager material.
- Yes, the Four Kings. - Yeah, he's perfect.
We were way too hasty when we chose the manager.
I think we need to elect a new manager.
- Yes, we need to have a new election. - He's one of the Four Kings.
Wait a minute!
I'm the manager, and I don't remember hiring you.
Why are you here?
Ah,
Chairman Song had asked me to join the team, so...
Why is Chairman Song meddling in management?
He's not supposed to be involved in operation.
This guy landed here on a parachute!
Ha Ryu, did you hire him?
Well, I thought it would be nice to work together with his famous name and all...
It's fantastic!
Don't worry.
I will remain a sales associate and focus on selling cars.
- Do you mean that? - Yes.
- You harbor no ambition to be the manager? - Of course not.
Then I'll hire you as an intern for the next three months.
I will do my best.
Thank you.
You are our leader as far as I'm concerned, sir.
Thank you.
- Intern Song? - Yes?
You see that sales desk?
Your first job is to sell gifts.
I'll be keeping a close eye on you to see how well you do.
I'll do my best.
Then I'll see you all later.
- Humble. - Very humble.
There's a lot of talk about the one-stop mart, sir.
It's hard enough to deal with the current economic slump and the domestic market...
Why the superfluous spending?
Well...
This is a critical time.
Foreign cars are pouring in, and we're in the middle of an economic crisis.
Then what do we have to do?
"Drive a domestic car and love your country!"
Do we appeal to patriotism?
Those times are over.
Superior service.
This is the only way to get through these critical times in the domestic market.
The trade barriers are coming down.
This is a crisis as well as opportunity for us.
Once FTA with EU takes effect,
we will gain a huge market of 27 countries and half a billion population.
Only those, who can overcome this crisis...
and seize the opportunity will survive.
We will attack the European market with practical, affordable, no-frills car Sami 3,
and tackle the domestic market with the one-stop automart.
And to test the European market entry strategy,
I'm assigning Ha Ryu to represent...
Taepung in the upcoming government vehicle bid for the city of Gaju.
Do you know why I called you in?
To put me to work on the city vehicle deal?
Am I acting like I own you?
No, I don't mean to sound like...
A good salesman has a global perspective.
Will you be a salesman for the 70 million...
or for the world?
You have to make this decision.
Sir...
We can talk about that later.
Bring the city vehicle deal first.
I'm a businessman.
I do not invest in losing games.
Prove that I'm not wrong.
I heard that the vice-president is back.
He has a lot of nerves.
Is it true that the previous accident was caused by sudden acceleration, too?
Yeah, it's all out in the open.
I heard he sold damaged cars and killed people back when he was at Fine Motors, too.
Why won't Chairman Yoo fire him?
He's killing the company's image.
I don't know what the chairman is thinking.
He's got the bastard working on the Gaju City government vehicle deal.
What? He's trying to destroy the company.
[Resignation]
So, do you want to give it one last try?
Last try...
Mr. Kang.
Taepung is sending Ha Ryu?
Yes.
I found out Song Man Deuk has joined them, too.
From government bid to Song Man Deuk...
Good for him.
Kim Jae Hee hasn't mentioned anything about this bid either.
- Perhaps Yang Man Cheol might... - No, never mind.
I'm dong this one myself.
Jae Hee!
Really!
[Resignation]
Jae Hee!
What is this?
I think I've accomplished everything I came at Daesan for.
So where are you going?
Are you going to join Ha Ryu and that riff-raff gang?
Are you really that curious?
I guess you got everything you want out of me.
So you know.
You never change.
What should I do? Should I bring her back?
Deok Bae.
Don't waste your time on her.
Set up meetings with Gaju officials.
I want to meet them at top class locations.
I'll bring this deal in myself.
From the mayor to commissioners, there're thirty cars in all to this deal.
There's more than just 30 cars at stake here.
Gaju is still a newly developing city.
All eyes are on this place.
These officials will be in the news all the time along with what they drive.
Everyone will want this deal.
There will be fierce competition.
But isn't it worth a shot?
Yes. This is a great opportunity for us, too.
I think we should give it a shot.
It won't be easy.
Why are you so negative? Aren't you supposed to be a legend?
Your attitude is so negative.
Wait. Is this how you were when you were in Daesan?
I get it. You didn't quit, they fired you.
Because of your negative attitude. Right?
What?
We should at least give it a shot.
Sir, do we remember that police car bid?
You won that with flying colors.
Will you help us?
I don't know.
This is a completely different deal.
Practicality isn't a great issue like in police cars...
I'm just not getting a feel for the angle.
Good grief! Why are you so negative?
Let's do it. Okay?
We have to submit our offer by next week,
so I want all of you to think about which model we should go with.
Think positively and give it some thought. All right?
All right.
The biggest decision maker here is the mayor of Gaju, Shin Sung Yoo.
Let's first do some research on him.
Use your own resources and find out everything you can.
Stop with the fancy talk and get your butt out there. All right?
Let's huddle.
One, two, three... go team!
You just can't get with it. Can you?
[Shincheon Station Exit 1]
Shincheon Station Exit 1. I'm here.
Yeah, I'm here.
There's an intersection to the right.
A building? There're no buildings here.
It's all...
Shincheon.
Chon? Shinchon?
Why?
Oh, put Da Hye on!
Hi. I'm here at the Shincheon... Chon?
It's chon?
Why did you say cheon?
There're lots of signals here.
I passed a lot of bus stations, too.
No, I don't see any brown building. All the buildings here are white.
Yes, I was there yesterday. I was, but I was blindfolded!
Yeah.
Okay then, meet me there. I'm going there right now.
Okay!
Where is there? Good grief!
Aigoo.
Mr. Song!
Ah, yes.
I hope I'm not troubling you. I know how busy you are.
I've been getting lots of calls from both big businesses and government agencies...
with all the changes in the trading environment.
Seminars, consulting... My head is spinning.
Yes, both India and Europe are keeping close watch on each other in the auto industry.
The biggest market is opening up after all.
Yes. It's a gargantuan market for the auto industry.
Yes.
By the way, Mr. Song,
have you gone back to sales?
Yes, I have.
Which reminds me, you know Mayor Shin Sung Yoo of Gaju very well, don't you?
I believe you used to work for him.
Mayor Shin?
Why do you ask?
Hallo.
Oh! How are you?
He's known for his integrity and for service to the community.
I heard, that he had it really tough when he first started out.
And that he's very single-minded, too.
Indeed. He has high political ambitions, so he has to stick to his public image.
We should see him right away.
How?
What do you mean how? You just go and see him.
You're so lazy. You are lazy intern.
I want you to go and meet him yourself. Is that clear?
No, I'll go.
- Da Hye, shall we? - Yes.
Why is he defending you?
Weren't you one of the Four Kings? How many cars did you sell?
Zero, if this is how he worked. I guess you lost your touch, huh?
What do you think?
This car looks perfectly fine to me.
Yeah, but it's obvious.
They built a new building, they set up a new administrative structure,
now they want new cars to make them look good.
But aren't all government cars same? Big black sedans?
Yes, that's true.
But there could be some other factor that we're missing.
Didn't I tell you about how I got creamed at the police car bid?
Yeah, Mr. Song brought in minicars and snagged the deal.
I can't make another mistake like that again.
Wastrel Shin Sung Yoo has got to go!
Please, stop this. It's cold out here.
[Leave!]
The wastrel mayor has got to go!
How do you do, Mr. Mayor?
Who might you be?
Yes.
I'm an auto sales agent participating in the city vehicle bid.
Please, spare me five minutes of your time.
I'd appreciate it very much.
I'm running rather late.
Please, leave your message on the Mayor's Office home page.
I check it every day.
- We should go, sir. - Okay.
Sir! There is something I'd like to ask you in person.
Please, give me your time, sir.
Very well.
Let's hear you out.
Clear a schedule half an hour from now.
Yes, sir.
Thank you!
Those irresponsible wastrels.
They just spent 100 million on this government building and now they want new cars?
Thieves.
100 million? That much?
They think taxpayer money is theirs to throw away.
Last time they ripped out a perfectly good sidewalk before they even got the budget.
Bastards.
Thieves.
Here. Let us drink.
Sir, we asked to see you, because we wanted your personal opinion.
What are you looking for in the new cars for the city officials?
Well,
I'm sure, that from that demonstrant your've seen outside you can gather,
we public servants are under constant public srutiny, no matter how hard we work.
There're no special features we are looking for.
But we do not want them to give the impression of empty formality or vanity.
Does that answer your question?
Yes.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Thank you for giving us your valuable time.
Don't mention it. Meeting the people is my job.
Well then...
The city is buying cars and they go around asking that kind of questions?
Are they dumb or naive?
And I told you to do something about that demonstrant!
I'm sorry, sir.
Daesan is preparing to present our luxury model Dynamic.
It will make you as comfortable as possible with the full back seat option.
You've thought of everything.
Sure. We need to have stately appearance for the public to follow.
Give us the best there is.
After all, we worked hard to get here.
I couldn't agree more. It shouldn't be any other way.
We can make a recommendation, but ultimately, it's the mayor's decision.
Does the Mayor have a different idea?
Not really.
But he has high political aspirations, so he is very careful about his image.
It's quite possible he wants something better on the inside though.
That's that why he proposed this purchase, after all.
Ah, is that right?
Here.
Yes.
Man, who pretends to be clean...
That's good news.
It costs a lot of money to look clean.
Let's get to know our mayor.
I want a full rundown from his prior records to his most recent activities.
Yes, sir.
[Gaju Mayor's Greenlight for City Welfare. Smiling at this Silver Age.]
[Gaju Mayor Shin Sung Kyu's Benevolent Behavior]
[Gaju Mayor's Plan for Welfare. Is it an Anticlimax?]
Those irresponsible wastrels.
They just spent 100 million on this government building and now they want new cars?
Thieves.
He's probably just a weirdo.
[Spring Love Rice Porridge]
Here.
Please, enjoy.
I wonder if porridge will be enough to fill up those big guys.
Hi, honey.
Maybe I should've just gotten some ox-blood soup.
What do you mean?
- What... - Honey, hang on.
Don't you know how nutritious porridge is?
It's easy on your stomach, so it's great for those with digestive problems,
and it's the best when it comes to relieving hangovers.
And you may think it's just watery rice,
but it's packed with nutritious stuff so it fills you up real good.
- What, honey? - You're a funny little lady.
You're right.
It'll fill them up, won't it?
Yes! I told you so.
Oh, I'm so distracted!
Thanks.
Bye!
I'm sorry. I was talking to a customer.
Where do you want me to go?
Where are you? You're going to get it when I catch you.
Guess who?
Who?
You're no fun. What's wrong with you?
Ah?
And why are you out without a jacket?
Aigoo, really...
The office is just right across the street.
I swear if I weren't looking after you, you'd starve or freeze to death.
Tada!
This...
- Our matching jackets! - Of course.
This is mine... Hold it.
- And this is... - This...
You've thought of everything.
Of course.
And this is my Butterball's.
Here.
Tada!
This is the winter solstice red-bean porridge.
The way I see it, you got into that accident because you didn't chase away evil spirits.
So eat this and don't get into another accident. Okay?
Okay. Then maybe we should make some more and share it with...
No, you have to eat stuff like this alone to have an effect.
Here.
Ah!
Wow, this is good.
- It's really good. - Isn't it?
Now all evil spirits will fly away!
Hey!
What's that?
Where? Where?
There... Oh, I guess it's nothing.
What?
This is too good to eat alone.
- Have a bite. Say ah. Have a bite. - No.
You have to have some.
No.
The legend of the red-bean porridge says for every two spoons the guy has,
the girl has to have one. Come on.
- What are you talking about? - So you have to have some.
This is...!
I was...
I was going to give it to you before the accident,
but that whole thing happened, and...
I thought long and hard about this...
Ah.
And I...
I want to spend the rest of my life eating porridge with you.
You're the only one for me.
I never dreamed this day would come.
Wait, wait. Not here! No, wait!
Let's go with luxury model Sami 7 fully loaded with heated and massage seat option.
What's your pick, Ha Ryu?
I was thinking of Sami 3.
What?
Come on.
Hey, hey, hey.
Do you think the mayor would want to drive around in a compact car?
And the government is buying them. Wouldn't you want a nice big car?
Yeah, I think that's a bit too small.
It's the cheapest car we have.
No, I think we should go with Sami 3 and with no luxury options whatsoever.
I agree with you.
The man next door image... that's what they will want.
Cars that bring them closer to the public.
What's more, wouldn't this fit the concept that they mayor is going for?
Wow, so you did some analyzing!
He's even better than I am.
That intern Song Man Deuk... he and I just don't click.
I know.
Hi, everyone!
Hi.
Wow, this is a beautiful showroom!
Jae Hee, what are you doing here?
Jae Hee!
I just came to visit.
I wish I worked at a place like this.
I saw that you have a service center, too.
We take care of insurance claims, too.
Really? Wow, that's more than I expected!
Jealous!
Why don't you come and work for me?
No, thanks. Why should I ever go under you?
Did Daesan send you? To spy on us?
No, I left Daesan.
You did?
Don't worry. I resigned before they fired me.
Should I go solo, too?
Perhaps I should open a business across the street.
Oh,
Ha Ryu, are you going after this deal?
Did you choose the car?
No, we were just talking about that.
What do you think about Sami 3?
An economy car for the public servants...
I kind of like that.
Huh?
Oh dear,
the tide is turning against you.
Sami 3 was my first choice, too. But...
Then do we all agree on Sami 3?
- Yes. - Agreed.
Sure.
Then Sami 3 it is.
Shall we huddle?
Yes.
- Yes. - Letīs.
Jae Hee, join us.
Am I on the team?
One, two, three... go team!
That was awkward.
Yes.
The vice-president of Daesan came here himself.
- I heard he used to deal foreign cars.
- Maybe he got demoted.
It's exciting being back in the field.
I guess I'm the field type after all.
You know, don't you?
That you're a lot like me when I was at your age.
It's not vengeance or righteousness that feeds your hatred for me.
You see yourself changing like me and that scares you.
Am I wrong?
You're delusional.
You think I'm like you?
I also had a girlfriend that I truly loved, at your age,
and I worked hard to become someone.
But little by little I started wanting more, just like you.
Do you think...
you can beat me?
You're so naive.
You can only see what's on the outside.
Ramble all you want.
Because this will be the last time.
- You thought about it for five minutes? - Yes.
This is worthless.
If you think it's worthless, why don't you come up with an idea yourself?
Me? Why should I? I'm the manager.
- I'm here... - Oh, hi.
- Oh, you're back. - Yes.
- Did you submit the entry form? - Yes.
So what's your feeling?
Well, regardless of my feeling,
this is the first big project we've taken on since opening this place,
so we have to make this happen.
First we'll need to get the client in our cars.
And let them see and feel the merits of the car.
What merits?
They're the cheapest cars. What's there to show them?
There are bigger things to be gained for politicians.
Bigger things? Like what?
Politics is like show business.
Those who drive conservative no-frills cars may gain popularity,
and it could be great advertising for Sami 3.
Practical and affordable car.
The public servants that drive them.
The public reaction to their practicality.
Exactly.
Fine, that's fine.
But just how do you intend to get them in our cars?
That's the problem. Including the mayor, there're thirty of them, so...
I knew it. I just knew it.
You think you can solve this with five minutes of thinking?
Okay, I'll do it. I'll get all thirty of them to test drive the car.
- There's no way you can do this by yourself. - Then what?
You do it. It's an order, so you go.
Manager, that's a little...
When soldiers go to war, the general is at the front leading his men.
That's ridiculous. The advance guards are at the front, not the general.
- A freelancer?
- Yeah.
In other words I'll be your independent agent.
I'll take your cars and sell them on my own.
I would think that my commission will be higher than working at a branch office.
Why don't you just come and work for us?
No,
I'm tired of being tied down to one place.
I want to try working alone.
So, will you be my partner?
That's what I mean.
Have you ever seen him actually sell a car?
Oh.
Commissioner!
Commissioner, how do you do?
I am Ha Ryu from Dream Motors.
And I'm Manager Kim Chang Shik.
What can I do for you?
I'm sure you know about the upcoming vehicle replacement.
We brought our car, so you can drive it before you decide.
Make your rounds today in this car, sir.
It'll save you money on gas, and this trial is free, sir.
What is this?
Ah.
You must be kidding.
Wait, Commissioner, please.
- Just give it a try, sir. - I'm busy.
- Hey...
Just try it out, sir.
Commissioner. Commissioner!
- Commissioner, we're... - We're just asking you to try...
- Oh, man... - I'm going crazy...
Hey.
We can't even get them in the car,
let alone get them to like the car.
We have to try our best, though. We're just getting started.
When did you say they're voting?
A week from now.
Four times seven is twenty eight...
That means we need to do four a day. How are we going to do this?
There's no time to stand around.
How do you do, sir?
We brought the car for you to try. Get in and feel it out.
Aren't you going to try?
This is the Sami 3, one of the contenders for the bid.
Forget it.
Sir, wait...
Take a look...
Take your time and check... Take a look. It's not small at all.
Aigoo, this...
Oh!
Hi! I'm from Dream Motors.
You know about the vehicle replacement. Right, sir?
If you're not too busy, could I get you to try out our car?
It may not be big or fancy, but...
- How do you do? - Oh?
May I ask what your title is?
Chief of Environmental Services.
Chief of Environmental Services?
Yes.
Have a nice day.
This is Sami 3.
Take a look.
- It's rather nice. - Isn't it?
But why are you showing me this car?
- Don't you drive a city car?
- Me?
- Yes.
- No, I'm...
You were in the Commissioner's Office.
No, but it's a nice car.
Really...
Commissioner...
You need me more than anyone else in the world at this moment, Commissioner.
Right? Is that going to be enough?
So let's just test drive the car.
Please just try this car once!
- Here... Just try it once! - I, uh...
Ah, wait...
Just take a look, sir.
Wait a minute...
No, no...
Wait, wait.
Ah, really...
Let go!
It's very roomy! Commissioner!
This is not working.
Manager,
I'd like to talk to you about something.
Yeah, do you have a new idea?
- Where's our paycheck? - Huh?
It hasn't even been a month since we started working! My goodness!
But it has been a month.
Oh, I have a splitting headache!
Those people...
Why is it so hard to get them to just try out the car?
I don't understand.
Why don't we try explaining our intention to them first?
Surely some of them will respond.
They won't give us their time. I don't think they'll make time to listen.
This is so complicated...
I don't think this is working.
Why would they go from driving a fancy sedan to a compact car?
They won't get in the car even if we brought them to their front door.
Front door...
Okay. I'll try that.
Try what?
I'll be back.
Aigoo...
Do you know what time it is?
Please, leave.
Sir, sir...
This is not what I wanted,
even if I take a step closer, it just becomes more complicated.
Where am I and what do I want...
I don't have the confidence to continue.
All the things that I believed in...
left me and now I'm all alone.
How much longer do I have to be like this?
I am breaking apart...
Now... I am...
Goodness!
Have you been out here all night?
I'm impressed, Mr. Mayor.
They said you weren't a great golf player.
I got lucky today.
It wouldn't be right, if men like me wasted their time on the golf course.
We do have work to do, after all.
I couldn't agree more.
Well, now that we're done with the game,
I'd like to hear what you came to see me about.
Yes, sir. This way.
I understand.
But...
...there's really nothing that I can do.
It requires a fair and unbiased review.
I didn't mean to put any kind of burden on you.
I'm well aware of your clean reputation,
and I wouldn't ask a man of your eminence to meet me just to seek that kind of favor.
The truth is, I'm a big fan of yours.
I was a politically active college student when you were fighting for democracy.
Oh, that. It's all in the past.
But it's such a shame...
to see a man like you to get stuck at a mayor's office
because you don't have a strong backing.
What do you mean?
I'm saying that I can help you.
Perhaps...
This is my favorite restaurant.
A hot soup will make you as good as new.
- Let's go.
- Thank you!
- Aigoo... - Ah.
Did you get a new car, Commissioner?
Why? What happened to the big one?
Actually...
The city is replacing government cars,
and Commissioner insisted on test driving that car.
You sure do have a keen sense of what people want to see!
Yes. Seeing government officials driving around in a big car
paid with tax payer money only makes poor people get angry.
I'm going to bring you a special treat today!
Everyone I ran into loved it.
I've never seen the public react so positively!
You see?
Come on. Get in.
You'll see that it drives very smoothly.
It's very comfortable.
It'll be a whole new experience...
Mr. Kang, I don't have good feeling about what's going on.
What do you mean?
Ha Ryu, that punk, is putting the city officials in his car and driving them all over town.
- So what's the problem? - Huh?
Aren't you paying attention to anything?
They're starting to like Sami 3.
I don't care.
The decision will be made by the mayor and the deputy mayor.
Don't you get it? I...
My gut instinct says this is trouble, my gut instinct.
I'm one of the Four Kings of car sales.
I have a feeling for these things.
Word is starting to get around that the small car is good for the image.
I was going to stay out of this, but it's time for me to jump in.
Mr. Yang.
Oh, thank you.
Stay out of this.
You'll be doing me a favor.
Now even that clown...! Ow, that hurts!
Kang Seung Joo...
So you want your palm greased, is that it?
Fine.
I'll do this my way.
Give me your recommendation on a nice little gift.
Welcome, sir. Take your pick.
Oh, this one's kind of nice.
That's an excellent choice, sir.
- But it's kind of pricy.
- How expensive could it be?
- It's not that bad.
- Should I wrap it up?
Boy... You're an amateur, aren't you?
When the customer responds like this,
you have to show him something more expensive.
Look, my man,
a good salesman plays on the customer's ego...
and makes him buy something even more expensive. Don't you know that?
Then should I show you something more expensive?
I have a few hours to bring it back for a full refund, right?
- Pardon?
- I do.
Mr. Kang.
What is all this?
That...
I heard Mayor Shin has a secret expensive hobby.
What do you think about giving him these as gifts?
You see this... It's okay.
This is the best there is.
Mr. Yang!
It's not broken. I hit your globe there.
With Song Man Deuk and Kim Jae Hee gone,
who else is there for the chief sales director position but me?
If I can give these to the mayor as a gift and win him over...
This is a man who has presidential aspirations.
Do you really think he can be bought with these meager gifts?
You've got to be better than this.
Wait, but this is very expensive stuff.
Then should I get something more expensive?
I got this.
Mr. Yang...
Please,
stay out of this,
and focus on meeting your sales goal at Gandong branch.
If you want to keep that position.
Please. Okay?
Mr. Kang...
Please, leave.
Yes, sir.
Yes!
Vice-President Kang Seung Joo!
I'll show you what I'm made of once and for all.
Don't take me lightly, sir!
What I hate most in the world is someone messing with my hair and my bow tie!
Oh, my head...
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I can do a lot more than just fill out a survey considering all your efforts.
And you were right.
It made me feel a lot closer to the people.
- Thank you, sir.
- Good luck to you, young man.
What do you think, sir? Did you enjoy the drive?
Yes, it was very nice.
Then would you mind filling out this comment form?
- A comment form... - Yes, fill this section out right here.
It's a smaller car but stability is excellent.
- I really like how it drives. - Don't you? Of course.
Here.
What are these?
Those are the comments we got from the city officials who drove the car.
Take a look.
It started out rough, but they all wrote a very positive review.
The one driver that I showed the car to also wrote a very nice review.
Just one?
Yes, he was very important driver.
But you're the manager.
Yes, so one extremely valuable driver.
After all that badgering about getting out there, you got just one?
The manager who is suppposed to set an example for the rest of us, got just one?
Yes...
Anyway, good work.
It'll be a great input for our presentation.
Good job.
Here, here, we're going to win this thing.
- Let's all huddle. - Let's huddle.
Let's.
One, two, three... go team!
Oh, up...
Now everyone get out there and get back to work!
Dad, where are we going?
I was supposed to wait for Mom.
I have to go to my ballet lesson.
Daddy's career is at stake here.
Besides, why are you taking ballet lessons?
Take up weight lifting!
A good set up is important in any project.
Let's go.
Stay right there.
Jae Suk, start eating! Eat!
Go on, eat.
Little boy! Little boy!
No!
I know you're hungry, but...
What...
Oh me, oh my! Mr. Mayor!
Ah, yes...
Have we met?
I saw you having a meeting with Mr. Kang Seung Joo the other day.
I sell cars at Daesan Motors as well.
I see.
Wow, your son is a spitting image of you.
Oh, Mr. Mayor, you're such anamusing man!
Pardon?
The truth is this child is an orphan. We adopted him when he was an infant.
We took him in to take care of him,
but my wife left us and I work all day, so the poor child is totally neglected.
Look how bloated he is from malnutrition.
What is this called? Gout, yes, gout.
And the poor thing has a bad heart, too.
How could a child have...
If I can get this city car deal, I'd be able to afford him medical treatment...
I'd be able to buy him some decent clothes and feed him three meals a day...
Oh, my poor child... I'm so sorry, my son... Jae Suk!
Hey!
What are you doing here?
H-h-honey!
Mom!
He has location tracking on his phone.
What are you doing with our son?
My gosh! What are you wearing? Where are your clothes?
Mr. Mayor, you see, I got remarried...
Mommy, am I an orphan?
Was I adopted?
What?
You bastard! Come here!
- Honey, I'm sorry. - You, too!
Jae Suk! We have to take Jae Suk!
Stop, woman!
Forgive me, Mr. Mayor. Let's go.
A compact car from Taepung?
But wouldn't that be too small?
How could city officials drive around in that...
Are you men serious about this?
Yes, sir.
You would agree, too, if you saw how the public reacts.
I recommend you take a ride in it.
People call us frugal and upright.
It's the first time we heard the public praised us since we took office.
I test drove at the insistence of the sales agent, and the car was actually quite nice.
I thought so, too.
Taepung must have aggressively marketed the car to the officials.
They like the car because it enhances their image.
The people...
Enhances the image?
[Mayor Shin Sung Yoo Popularity Graph]
[Mayor Shin Sungyu Popularity Graph]
What do you mean?
I can push the deal with Daesan, but I don't think I can guarantee the result.
Do the commissioners favor Taepung?
Well, they are government officials. What you see is what you get.
Who wouldn't like looking prudent and principled?
To be honest,
it made me think a little, too.
Image is everything for us politicians.
Mr. Mayor, you agreed to help us.
Are we going to let this fine whiskey wasted?
I'm asking you.
Oh...
I need you to support Daesan all the way.
Like I said, the commissioners are leaning the other way.
Then just take Taepung Motors out of the final presentation.
That shouldn't be difficult.
How could I, when the commissioners like the car?
I believe you're a bigger man than what being a mayor of a small town calls for.
And?
I can help you realize a bigger dream.
If you join hands with me, you will have the backing of great Daesan Group behind you.
I would never!
Think about your future.
Me... No, we Daesan will be your political partner for life.
I'm asking you, Mayor.
Director Yoon, it's good to see you.
This is a nice place for a vacation.
Yes.
Isn't it?
It's wonderful.
But what is this about, taking a hiatus from work?
Yes.
I'm planning something important.
It looks like Kang Seung Joo bribed the mayor of Gaju.
I got word that he's using company funds to stay alive.
So I did some digging.
Is this what you've been doing here?
I need to bring him down with my own hands to have peace, at last.
I'm going to find proof of embezzlement and expose him at the shareholders meeting.
If shareholders stand up,
it'll be over for Kang Seung Joo, even if Chairman Yoo defends him.
Let's join hands and bring that bastard to justice.
How about it?
We'll keep this strictly between us for now.
Okay. It'll be our secret.
Oh.
How is your project going?
That Gaju City deal.
It's going smoothly, sir.
I want you to completly transform our image.
No one has the right to criticize the politicians for wanting to drive our cars.
Right?
Absolutely, sir.
This is really exciting.
You mean we'll have a shot at European entry with Chairman Song's full support, if we get this deal?
We'll have to do our very best.
Mr. Song, I mean, Intern Song...
So what's left now until the final vote?
Yes, so what's left now until the final vote?
Oh, the presentation is our last challenge.
But we have a good chance if we do this right.
It's great how this is turning out when no one liked the car at first.
Mr. Song was right with the car selection... Sami 3.
Yes, it was a brilliant selection, Intern Song.
I was so impressed.
Actually, I suggested Sami 3 first.
It was originally Ha Ryu's idea.
But it was just talk. You have to put it into action.
Action, yes. I'm thoroughly impressed with you, Intern Song.
Hello?
Yes, that's right.
What do you mean?
Removed from the presentation?
Why have we been disqualified?
But all of the officials that test drove it recommended the car.
That's impossible.
It's a wise decision, Mr. Mayor.
Thank you.
Mr. Kang,
more than half of the officials prefer Ha Ryu's car.
That's all right.
This game is already over.
This is wrong. We worked so hard...
Not even an opportunity...
This is absurd.
How did this happen? Everyone loved the car.
The mayor knocked it down.
I don't understand what he wants.
Do we have to give up?
No, there's still time.
We can't let our efforts end in vain.
We can't give up like this.
There got to be something we can do.
Yongu, Cheolgu, help Da Hye and get me everything you can find on Mayor Shin.
I want to know everything from what he eats for breakfast to what time he goes to bed.
And Chang Shik, you're coming with me.
- Where are we going?
- Just come with me.
Where?
- Get out there.
- Yes, get out there.
Let's go. Get that to me ASAP!
- What's Intern Song going to do?
- Let's go.
Hi. I'm doing a survey on Mayor Shin.
- Sir, how do you do? - Good afternoon.
We are wondering if we can ask you a few questions.
[Gaju Mayor's Greenlight for City Welfare. Smiling at this Silver Age.]
[Gaju Mayor Shin Sung Kyu's Benevolent Behavior]
[Gaju Mayor's Plan for Welfare. Is it an Anticlimax?]
Our research revealed, that Mayor Shin eats different things for breakfast every day.
And his sleeping habits are good.
That means he's a very ordinary man.
No, not necessarily.
He's started up a lot of different projects in last few years.
But the problem is he's not getting continuous funding.
And there's a lot of public gratitude, especially from the elders.
Whether this is a political show or image making,
I guess he figures this is better than offering just slick words to the people in need of help.
Where are you going with this, Ha Ryu?
You lost me.
We can at least stop him from rejecting Sami 3.
But how?
How? I believe you said it best.
"Get out there and do it."
Oh! "Get out there."
Yes.
Gentlemen, let us settle down and start the meeting.
On today's agenda...
What? Is this true?
[Meals with Gaju Market]
This event is being held by seniors and children who have previously received help...
from the Gaju City welfare projects.
I hope it's delicious.
[Sharing Happiness with Each Delicious Plate]
Over there.
That's...
- Let's go. - Yes.
There's the mayor.
- Thank you, Mayor! - Aigoo...
Yes.
How... did this happen?
These are beneficiaries of your welfare projects three years ago.
Did you put all this together yourself?
No, I only provided the opportunity.
They did all the work voluntarily.
Ah, yes.
Oh! Oh! Hello! Enjoy the food.
- Oh, Madam! - My, it's been a long time!
I am sorry.
- Being a mayor deprives you of time... - Of course. It's a difficult job.
[Gaju News: An outing for the welfare project helpers, Gaju's Mayor full of laughter]
Get the fellow who pulled this stunt in here.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Mayor.
Do you think...
you can manipulate me with this charade?
I'm sorry if it made you angry.
But I felt wronged to have the opportunity taken away from us.
Give us a fair chance.
