[The City Hall]
Episode 10
I apologize for being late.
It was like a parking lot out there.
Maybe you have plans for widening the roads?
So you're the supporter?
Disappointed?
Were you hoping for a rich guy?
Why is she standing?
She was about to leave.
I don't know what she was imagining.
It can be daunting for regular folks.
You're old enough to know nothing comes for free.
You lose money to gain power. You lose pride to gain money.
Maybe you should go now.
Once you sit down, you'll lose your pride.
You must be filthy rich.
I'll sit down to see how much you've got.
This girl never fails to amuse me.
'This girl?'
Excuse me, but can I ask your age?
I bet you deal with this often.
Country folks get so caught up with age.
Do you mind if we just get to the issue at hand?
You're just dying to show off your money.
But that's an awfully small bag.
Even if you filled that thing, it wouldn't be enough.
You'd have to give me tons for me to sleep here.
I plan on it.
But I don't know what qualifies as 'tons' for regular folks.
Here. Fill in an amount.
I need a pen.
It might be too much...
- Can you even read that? - Can you?
One hundred grand!
So this is what you meant by 'tons?'
Let go!
Actually, this is the amount.
Are you sure?
You're testing my patience.
Do you really want to see?
Fine.
[$40]
Why do you look so surprised?
I guess small amounts shock very rich people.
Anyway, thanks for the support.
$40 is a lot of money to me.
And would you give it to my staff?
It wouldn't look cool for the candidate to take it.
You're laughing?
Should I scowl along with you?
You expected that?
I sure didn't.
So why didn't you stop me?
I was curious myself.
Temptation is hard to resist.
Money supposedly made her enter the pageant
put on the protest, and run for mayor.
She only talks about money, so I wanted to see for myself.
A candidate obsessed with money can be a pain.
Running her campaign is your path to the Blue House?
How did you manage to alienate Big Brother so much?
I don't like standing on the outside having to observe.
This isn't like you. Or am I a bad judge of people?
I feel the same way these days.
What do you mean?
I'm going home.
Soo In can drive you home and fill you in.
On what?
Like going on a bicycle trip?
You went on an overnight trip?
How do you know these things?
I happen to be interested in you.
Are you having me followed?
How did she turn a genius into a dunce overnight?
I guess you had company during the trip.
Don't tell me it was that girl.
You know sex scandals are fatal in politics.
So please behave.
I don't have Hilary's kind of patience.
See that all the announcements are in order.
Pick up the papers and drop by the headquarters.
I picked them up just now.
Do you really think Mi Rae can win?
I just don't think...
She's not your buddy.
Address her properly as candidate number five, Ms. Shin Mi Rae.
Just like that?
And one more thing.
If I want the scoop on a CEO's finances, I befriend the accountant.
If I want the scoop on the mayor, I befriend the female secretary.
Who do I befriend to get the scoop on you?
What are you talking about?
I trust you, punk. I pray it wasn't you.
- What are you saying? - Are you working on what I asked?
Stick to ones with at least 100 supporters.
Set up a meeting with the anti-Mayor Goh folks.
I'm setting up a date.
But what...
What's this about? Who did you see?
Yes, it was a blank, guaranteed check.
Really? So who's this big showoff?
What does it look like? Is it all white?
Did you fill in an amount?
Then what are you doing here?
I just couldn't come through...
I wanted to.
But I'm bad with non-multiple choice questions.
If I'd know I'd have to fill in a blank check
I would've studied my butt off.
- So you didn't write anything? - Of course I did.
Nine out of ten times, the answer involves one and zero.
So I wrote down one and a bunch of zeros.
But I changed my answer.
And you should never do that.
So basically, I flunked the test.
Who gave you a blank check?
Weren't you with the deputy mayor?
Sorry?
Oh, just someone...
By the way, don't we need a budget?
So we can borrow some money.
I have it right here.
[$250,000]
This much?
A paid staff is the first priority.
Meals, t-shirts, snacks...
- I can do that part. - How?
Thank you!
Thanks.
I'll get you back after the election.
Save your thanks for Boo Mi.
She brought so much business.
Really? How?
Her baby porridge is a huge hit!
Especially with busy parents.
You can't do business without someone like her.
So we have the meals. What about the rest?
- Thank you! - Sure thing!
Mi Rae, we're all even now.
That goes without saying.
- One second. - Why?
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
I said no.
I'll be sure to pay you back when I win.
Candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae!
Thank you.
This is my masterpiece.
- Yes. - You'll win, thanks to me.
Yes, ma'am! Victory!
Thank you.
We're ready to go!
Realistically, we have to start with at least $25,000.
But I saw the reported spending of $120 and $950.
That's why they lost.
Let's just accept Jun Do's help.
Yes, pay me back after you win.
Accounting for 50,000 households
we need to print that many pamphlets.
No, then I could never face Joo Hwa.
I wouldn't want my husband doing that either.
I'll come up with it somehow.
I have no money, but I have connections.
So listen to me carefully.
If I become your mayor...
First, we'll celebrate at the chicken joint.
I'll dedicate myself to creating better jobs for the young.
I'll get your perm covered by medical benefits.
- And for every journalist... - I like candidate number one.
- Number two isn't bad. - I kind of like number three.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey!
Dear Ms. Yu Gwon Ja.
I promise you a sudden turnaround in your future.
And I say with 100% assurance
that I will negotiate for your remarriage within a year.
There's just one condition.
Let's out the house up as collateral. Just for one month.
Why, you need a good beating!
Do what?
Hello, I'm running for mayor...
- My pension? - You brat!
We called you countless times.
I thought you were calling about the protest.
I'm sorry.
You were great.
Thank you.
It comes to $14,270.60.
Fourteen grand...
Thank you so much.
Just turn in all the paperwork
and check your account in about two weeks.
What? Two weeks?
It takes that long?
I can't wait two weeks...
[Lying Mutt]
The number you dialed is no longer...
The jerk changed his number?
He's trying to rip me off...
[Stupid Mutt]
What's with all these mutts in my life?
What?
I realize that it's a difficult decision...
What are you doing here?
And what are you two doing together?
Sleeping with the enemy? Or is it slurping?
Try to understand. Have you eaten?
I don't have much of an appetite.
So she's the one you were meeting?
My...
I guess you eat these fancy meals.
My candidate's having soup at the marketplace.
Which soup place? I want the name.
She's always been this immature.
So you have any campaign pledges?
You don't want to know.
My first pledge is...
To dismiss Councilwoman Min Joo Hwa.
Isn't that great?
I see why you wanted to meet.
Please mull it over.
What kind of nonsense did you suggest?
What did she say?
Goodbye, sir.
She wanted me to persuade you to support her father's candidacy
and to renounce yours.
- Renounce my candidacy? - Oh my...
I expected more from you, sir.
But you do flap those gums.
I asked you to keep it a secret!
You're awful!
Pay for your share. I'm pinching every penny!
Out scrounging for money?
Did you get the $40?
Here.
- No thanks. - It's $25,000. You need it.
Free refills, by the way.
Listen, 'credit' is my middle name.
Everyone's trying to lend me money.
Never mind then.
I just pitched in on top of the $6,700...
Stop!
You said he didn't pay you.
He changed his number too...
Did you call because you missed him?
- What if I did? - Did he give you his new number?
I'll ask for it when I miss him.
What is your problem!
It's no time to be thinking about men.
- What about the election? - I'm going to see it through.
I hear candidates spend about $10 per voter.
Maybe I'll borrow $10 from each voter.
I'll say they won't see that money unless I win the election.
What do you think?
- Want an IOU? - Please, we know each other.
Just sign here.
You shouldn't have...
[Agreement of Forfeiture]
What?
Your body is your only collateral.
Need a thumbprint too?
On each page?
Hey!
I'm not the old Shin Mi Rae. You can't do that to your candidate.
Ms. Shin, you must walk everywhere from now on.
What?
Whatever the distance, you walk from now on.
In this heat?
Are you telling me to lose weight for the election?
I'd just send you to a plastic surgeon for that.
Walk and shake hands with everyone.
With a smile.
Adults, children, puppies, fish... Anything that moves.
People like it when you touch flesh. That's how you win their hearts.
It's called the politics of handshakes.
Even if they refuse and call you a crazy lady
you must extend your hand.
Got that?
Yes, sure.
But we should work on strategies and speeches...
I'll do that part.
We should work together!
We have no time.
How do you think someone like Mayor Goh got in?
But still...
Percentage of Inju residents in agriculture?
Stage one of the four-point redevelopment program?
Was that politics of handshakes?
Where shall I start?
There?
You stay put.
Hello! I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae...
Hello! I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
Hello, I'm Inju's very own Wonder Woman.
Vote for candidate five.
Like anyone can go into politics? She's still wet behind the ears.
As if it makes any difference.
No kidding. Let's go.
Being wet behind the ears is my best asset.
I stand for progress and change.
Goodbye.
Hello. I'm Shin Mi Rae.
My legs hurt and you're in my way.
Move!
I apologize, and I will work for senior citizens.
- Vote for candidate five. - Yeah.
Goodbye.
Hello, I'm Shin Mi Rae, Inju's Wonder Woman.
- How do you do? - Thank you. I'll do my best!
Sure, come have a drink. I'll hook you up.
[Waiter Number 5: Obama]
Sure...
I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
Do he and Director Lee have the same hairstylist?
Hello, I'm Shin Mi Rae.
Hello. Thank you.
Hello. I'm candidate number 5 Shin Mi Rae.
Hello, I'm Shin Mi Rae.
Thank you, thank you.
Paid members of our staff.
And this gentleman...
We know the deputy mayor.
Remember from the school cafeteria?
Yes, you remember me from the school cafeteria?
You've gotten so beautiful, I didn't recognize you.
My apologies.
I joined a gym that day.
And here you go.
You shouldn't have...
Thank you. Please check the schedule.
Attention everyone!
Let's enjoy a beverage before the briefing.
What is that?
Put them down.
Pamphlets of pledges. We printed 50,000.
Both you and Mi Rae will have to study up.
Notices have been mailed. And here's the speech.
What are you doing?
The candidate makes the pledges.
Yes, but you expect her brain to come up with something?
But we have to leave it to her.
You have no faith in your candidate? Why are you here?
Because I have no faith.
I can't just leave her in the stormy ocean.
I have to go save her. That's what I'm doing.
And who threw her into that ocean?
Are these Mi Rae's pledges? No, they're yours.
Am I wrong?
You aren't wrong, so what about it?
Get off the boat or shut up and help.
That is if you share my goal of getting her elected.
The captain guides the boat. This is no time to indulge in fantasies.
You'd better guide the boat into rocks.
Am I wrong, Romeo?
I must get going now.
[Joh Guk]
I'm sure you've heard the rumors.
Apparently people talk about me.
'He's friends with Obama.' 'He's a genius.'
'He's an illegitimate child.' 'He has a hidden agenda in Inju.'
'He'll run for national election.'
What?
'He's the lovechild of the leading presidential hopeful.'
How much of that is true?
Whatever the case may be
your devotion and passion regarding the recall election won't go unnoticed by me.
Keep the cards, as they may come in handy one day.
Shall we toast?
Oh, and you'll have to pay your own way.
I'd love to treat you, but that would be illegal.
And a campaign chairman can't break the law.
Indeed.
These are my pledges?
Connecting the national freeway to Inju.
Widening the roads.
Starting a shipbuilding industry.
Building a resort town.
Hosting a world shipbuilding expo.
I'm doing all these things?
Building a university.
And a commercial center for fishing and agriculture.
It's pretty carefully worded. It says you'll 'promote' these things.
Who'd believe these pledges? I can't believe them myself...
What will you do?
Have you thought of any?
Sorry?
Do you have any pledges?
Any pledges of your own?
The deputy mayor's in the wrong, but so are you.
I know you do a lot of good.
But what a mayor does takes money and resources.
You're running with no ideas?
What's the city's population?
- 130,000... - 131,352 as of 2008.
And how many are eligible to vote?
72% of the population.
The average voting rate is 37.8%.
Not even 50%?
No. Technically, we're not even a democracy.
People don't participate but whine and moan.
So about 40,000 people vote in Inju.
And half of them vote for the Victory Party as a rule.
And the Justice Party is no joke either.
So forget about these pamphlets.
Think of how you can win people's hearts.
You can do it.
The real campaign begins tomorrow.
I'm off.
What concerned me was...
That you might be running just for the money.
Hello, I'm Shin Mi Rae.
We need your support.
Hello, I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
I ask for your support!
Hello!
For for number five! Candidate five!
That's number five, Shin Mi Rae!
Number five!
Shin Mi Rae, Inju's Wonder Woman!
In order for Inju's staggering economy to recover...
Corporate, transportation, education, and tourism sectors...
Must all be reformed.
I will push for the national freeway to connect to Inju.
And the widening of the roads.
And the start of a shipbuilding industry.
And the building of a resort town...
And the building of more dialogue...
Min Yu Gam is here to save the day!
I will save the economy!
Vote for number one!
It's so crowded over there.
We barely get the chance to sit down.
How are you?
I'm Shin Mi Rae, Inju's Wonder Woman.
Are you crazy?
Hey, you're a voter too. Shake my hand.
When are we going to hold hands again?
Sure, why not? All in the name of democracy.
Bring a jacket with you.
It gets cold at night.
You see this crowd? We don't have to work nights.
Only 40,000 people vote.
My dad wants to see you. Are you free?
It's like I'm starving and you're feeding other people.
You dislike the idea of me being the mayor?
- Yes. - What?
Ideally, politicians shouldn't be all about the money.
But you're rich, sir.
Are you calling your father-in-law ignorant and greedy?
So, who are you voting for?
Voting against me?
- Yes. - Why, you scoundrel.
You've never run for office, so I worry about your health, sir.
I've always dreamed of running for office.
What's the difference between a business and a city?
I admire you as a businessman.
But politics are different.
You've had your say, so let me talk now.
Why won't you guys have a child?
Is there another woman?
No, sir.
- Is Joo Hwa seeing another man? - Not at all, sir.
Then what's the problem? You've been married for years!
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm... sterile.
You're still up? I drove your father home.
What's this? Going somewhere?
It's yours.
You're kicking me out?
Sleeping in separate rooms isn't enough?
Kicking you out?
You think that poorly of me?
You've been campaigning with Mi Rae all day.
Didn't you come home to change?
I just packed some fresh clothes for you.
You scared me.
Being a good housewife all of a sudden.
I threw in a blanket too, so make sure you use it.
Thanks. I'm heading back out.
- Goodnight. - Wait!
You support me, don't you?
No matter where we are now...
Is something wrong?
[Mayoral Election Poll]
Is that the reality we face? Last place...
We just started. We need a new image.
Something that resonates.
What do you associate with Min Yu Gam?
Money, wealth, bling-bling.
Yes, and Professor Ahn comes across as a scholar.
Park Jun Jin is crude and aggressive.
But he does draw attention.
That's true.
We didn't sell the Wonder Woman image.
We have no other choice.
Put her in star-spangled panties.
- Yes! That's it... - Stop playing around and think.
- Any ideas? - Don't you worry.
We're keyboard warriors. Back to our specialty.
Yes, let's do it! 'Mi Rae's secret diary... '
What is this? A porno?
Thank you!
That's candidate number five.
[You guys are so beautiful.]
[Thank you, and I love you.]
Hello everyone.
I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
In order for Inju's stagnant economy to recover...
Corporate, transportation, education, and tourism sectors...
A highly profitable shipbuilding industry...
Will be initiated....
And for agriculture and fishing...
I will be your hands and feet...
And for agriculture and fishing...
I will be your hands and feet.
I'm sorry, everyone.
I apologize!
I've wronged you...
I've done a terrible thing!
And I apologize...
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
I will not only build the finest hotels
but I'll see to it that top corporations
both domestic and foreign, are brought into Inju!
Nothing will change.
But if I become the mayor
your facial expressions will change.
We're holding a rally for Inju's female electorate.
How will top corporations change Inju?
It will transform it into an international hub of business!
I'm the only man who can do that!
But only the rich will get richer.
However, I will return all you pay in taxes.
Everyone gets a $1,000 cash rebate.
We'll have a singles' mixer.
No need to hesitate.
He's all talk, I'm all action.
Got the looks and the body? I'll support your entertainment career.
- Hey, jerk! - What, jerk?
- Stop bragging! - You brag about money.
- Come here! - No, you come here!
Volunteers?
- For candidate number five. - It's all just a show.
Better than yelling at the top of their lungs.
Good luck, Miss.
- 'Miss?' - Thank you!
'Miss?'
I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
I cannot guarantee your right to life or liberty...
But I'll make sure your deal is not in vain.
That crazy girl... And to think I celebrated giving birth to her...
She can't become a politician. She's a laughingstock.
You're being so harsh.
She must know what she's doing.
To be honest, she's the best of the lot.
Sure, you see a lot of girls in politics on the news.
You should be proud of your daughter.
Really? She's the best of the lot?
- Yes! - Yes!
I don't understand these things...
Want to try some? Pickled anchovies.
- You shouldn't have... - But isn't this illegal?
Let's try some before they come get us.
This is so good!
Look at the number of visitors. Scroll down!
'Hooray for number five and democracy!' Hooray!
'Another miracle, please.' Please!
'This race is over!'
'Hit me up when you're the mayor.'
'I can't vote, but my parents will.'
'Number five gets my stamp of approval!'
'I'm a huge fan!'
We believe!
I'm candidate number five, Shin Mi Rae.
You sure are approachable.
I love the number five.
It's all about the number five.
I'm voting for five!
And on that note, if you're elected...
Can you do five things for me?
Both my husband and I are voting for you.
Sure... But what do you...
Well, they're building those roads.
If they can go through the third district...
I own some land...
No, hear me out.
Guess how many members are in my social club? 62!
Right...
We have a get-together in two days.
You don't have to attend...
But ten bucks per person would do.
And those 62 votes are yours!
Cheers! Number five!
A tiny surge and she's all worked up.
Time to start the rumors.
I'm great at that.
Want me to make my rounds?
You're so slow.
Why would I have hired those two women?
And the list of new residents?
I have about 150 people. I might get about 20 more.
So I just change their address to Inju?
And they have to vote for our candidate.
How much did it cost?
Including the cost of transportation and food, $200 a head.
But isn't this illegal?
Only if you get caught.
Min Joo Hwa speaking.
You're all there?
How do you like this place?
I entertain many important guests here.
Word was that you're into beer and chicken joints.
Oh...
I see.
I'm a well-rounded person.
I can go for chicken feet or a fine steak just the same.
My only flaw may be, since I stand out so much
is a little show of confidence makes me seem arrogant.
See? You thought I was serious.
But it was a joke.
Anyway, this election is getting really ugly.
A certain candidate has been seen cavorting in hotels.
There was even a three-way meeting.
And that she even received a blank check.
A blank check?
Isn't it shocking?
It just pains me so much.
What is this shows up in the media?
But the public does have a right to know...
Hello.
I'm Shin Mi Rae and I'm running as an independent candidate.
How have you been?
I'm number five, Shin Mi Rae...
My glasses are filthy.
Tough work, isn't it?
We have to stay politically neutral.
Your life is something else.
Think of how your actions reflect on the city hall.
Not just anyone can run for mayor.
Let's go. It's not like she'd even understand.
You still don't get it...
Hey, where are you?
I know you were all frustrated with Mayor Goh.
Indeed, so I'm counting on this recall election.
So am I.
But who wins isn't important. It's the function they'll serve.
I'm sure you've heard the rumors about me.
'He's friends with Obama.' 'He's a genius.'
'He's an illegitimate child.' 'He has a hidden agenda in Inju.'
'He'll run for national election.'
'He's the lovechild of the leading presidential hopeful.'
How much of that is true?
Thanks everyone!
- I'm starving. - Is Director Lee still out?
He'll be working on data.
What should we have? Ramen? Spicy cakes?
I'll be out here for a bit.
You still don't get it, do you?
You tramp!
Go look after her.
Who are you?
What's it to you, jerk?
Tell me who paid trash like you to do this.
- I don't know. - Keep saying that.
This is for the eggs.
This is for the tomatoes.
And this is for...
Stop.
I don't want this to get out of hand.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
I asked if you're okay!
Why didn't you yell with that obnoxious voice of yours?
You save the yelling for me?
Call for help or run away!
Why did you just take it?
I should go wash up.
Stop! I can't go home looking like this!
My mom will be so worried!
Go ahead.
You can wash up at a bar.
Go soak and relax in some hot water.
[Director Lee]
Hello, Director Lee.
No, I'm doing fine.
Are you okay?
You're not hurt?
I'm fine.
They don't hurt like eggs.
And they had such a nice fragrance.
Some quality tomatoes.
I'm helping out egg and vegetable vendors.
It's all good.
Change into these. I didn't know your size.
They're a bit longer and wider than Joo Hwa's.
Perfect.
But I'm always imposing.
You'll pay me back later.
I really want something from you.
You do?
What is it?
Subtitles by DramaFever
You're deceiving a lot of people.
You can't even do as your told. You don't want to win?
You're fired.
What happened to that girl who showed up in a bathing suit?
And the girl who protested in front of city hall?
I might just quit... People are so cruel.
All these people are working so you can win!
Even if everyone points their fingers
if one person supports you, stick it out!
Subtitles ripped by www.vikisubtitle.com You represent that person's hope!
