You're under arrest for accepting bribes.
Bribes?
You're saying I took bribes?
We received a report.
Let's not turn this into a bigger scene.
You call yourself the police?
What about procedures?
Did you send her a summons?
Did you give her time to respond?
We summoned her three times already.
But she ignored us, so we had to come.
Did you get the summons?
Mom, was there any mail from the police?
Yes, there was.
I figured they were letters of congratulation.
We've been getting so many of those.
Mom, you should've asked me! You should've told me!
You better go with them.
Don't worry, I'll go with you.
Why don't you undo the cuffs?
She's volunteered to go.
Don't you watch CSI?
Do you?
What is it?
Just yes or no!
Did you accept some bell-flower roots?
Yes, I did.
But we're talking about bell-flower roots here!
Didn't the neighbor give you those roots?
Yes, she said you only went to high school but you're a mayor.
But that her daughter went to grad school and has no job.
She begged me to ger her daughter a job at city hall.
See, they asked for a job.
It is bribery.
And I heard you ate the roots.
No, I didn't eat any.
I drank it.
Why? Neighbors can't share some food?
And I didn't get this person a job.
So how's this bribery?
Those were one hundred year old herbal roots.
See the appraisal?
They go for three thousand dollars on the market!
What?
Three thousand dollars?
My goodness! No wonder I've had such great energy and appetite.
What about you?
You had more than I did.
Mom, please.
You put chili paste on those rare roots, we should've eaten them raw!
Mayor, don't say another word.
You're digging yourself into a deeper hole.
Talk to me, who put you up to this?
Let me see the police chief.
Why? Stop interfering and go sit down.
I only answer to people who write my check.
Is there a problem with an assemblyman wanting to see the chief?
What's your name?
I didn't mean it like that...
So you answer to those who write your check...
Detective Park.
Your superiors probably get their checks from me.
Get me the station chief in within ten minutes, or...
That's one minute.
Joh Guk speaking.
Assemblyman, could we meet?
Perhaps later, I'm busy.
Aren't you at the police station with Mayor Shin.
Okay, Boo Mi, I'll be there.
Don't worry.
Wait right there.
Why?
Tell me the truth.
What have you done now?
What now?
That's what I'm asking.
Mayor Shin is at the police station.
You've put her in cuffs!
You're going to have her buried?
That might be quick.
Why is she at the police station?
Well, she's been up to so much.
I'm so excited. So she'll be in the slammer...
You really scare me.
Who knows what's going on inside that head?
Did you just... hit me?
How can you do this to a friend?
Mi Rae is your one and only friend!
How can you do this to her?
So because she's at the police station you hit me?
You really think that lowly of me?
So it wasn't you?
Thank you.
You're making me look good.
I don't know why she's at the station.
But you go escort her out of there.
I'll make sure to throw her back in there for good!
Joo Hwa...
Joo Hwa!
Like a speeding bullet.
Sit down. You must be thirsty.
It's not the first time we had to teach a rookie mayor a lesson.
Going to jail can be a good experience.
Why did you do it? Did I think too highly of you?
You thought too lowly of us.
You said those cards would come in handy one day.
We felt now is the time.
We never imagined that once we served our purpose
you'd just discard us.
What do you mean?
Look what Mayor Shin has done!
After thirty years of selling farm equipments
I finally make a little money.
And she's letting farmers lease the equipment for free?
Are farmers the only citizens?
I pay more in taxes!
I'm a doctor.
Yet, I'm out there passing out your fliers.
But she's building a public hospital?
What about private hospitals?
Don't just watch her.
Tell her no!
Haven't you seen the papers?
They meet in hotel suites, so how could he tell her no? Right?
So we took the matter into our own hands.
Yes, we do meet in hotel suites.
You never frequent hotel suites, right?
You say that I thought too lowly of you. Okay then.
What?
Hey, it's me.
Oh, they have no idea who I'm talking to.
Madam Jung, it's Guk.
You told me to call if I needed anything.
Got any info on the top business leaders of Inju?
Something along the line of what the former mayor...
Wait.
We'll call the police station.
It'll take thirty seconds.
The police chief and we go way back.
It's ringing.
Hey, it's me...
My mom just fell asleep.
And where were you?
How would you leave your woman in a place like that?
Something came up, I'm sorry.
Well, I got out in one piece.
They said it was a misunderstanding and let me go.
How's your mother?
You're only worried about her?
Are you okay?
Words are cheap.
Don't get any naughty ideas.
Like you should talk.
Where's my tofu, I almost went to jail.
Oh...
I thought you wanted one of these.
I hate owing people.
Do that again, and you'll get another one.
She sure is a quick study.
Am I your only friend?
I want to go home.
I apologize.
Thanks to my rich and beautiful wife... I have no friends.
Hey, we all have our pain.
People say I'm a genius, a Greek statue, but I deal with it.
You brag even when you're drunk, dude.
Here.
Come on.
What, dude?
I've got nothing to lose.
I'm getting a divorce.
From my beautiful wife.
- You're doing what? - Getting a divorce.
Why?
Over Mayor Shin.
So you're getting divorced over the mayor?
That was the final straw.
But it wasn't all because of the mayor.
But that's the main reason.
Listen, Chief Lee.
You strike me as strange.
You're always standing by the mayor
and that's pulling you and your wife apart.
What does the mayor mean to you?
What does she mean to me?
She's a tempest.
A tempest that broke out of the teapot.
And she gives me hope that I can break out of the teapot too.
So she's a tempest wreaking havoc everywhere.
Hey...
Man...
Joo Hwa...
[My Girl]
So immature, divorce my behind...
Delete my number now! And from speed dial!
And don't ever show up!
Councilwoman...
You have a message.
[The Mayor]
Thank you for always being my North Star.
I'm at home, so don't you worry. See you tomorrow.
North star?
My behind.
Sleep tight, Guk.
Why is mine so short?
And he got two smileys.
How am I supposed to feel secure?
Breakfast is ready!
What smells so good?
Beef broth?
It's beef broth, all right.
Made from the bones of a special cow.
I want you to stay strong.
You've become a grandma.
You should've stopped those cops from barging in.
Here.
I'm sorry.
All because of your uneducated mother...
No, I'm fine.
Feel free to share with the neighbors.
Give as much as you take, and I'll handle everything.
Don't cry, Mom.
Don't mix tears into this premium beef soup.
That's why there should be a man in the house.
They took us lightly because we're women.
So go find yourself a husband while you're the mayor.
Don't worry.
I'll put fliers all over the city.
Hyun Bin, So Ji Sup, they'll all be rounded up.
So eat up.
Cheers.
Sure.
Cheers!
You're making a habit out of this.
You never give me advance notice.
I live in this house.
What's this?
So this is what people give their sweethearts in this town?
It's practical.
Just saying that you're mine till you're all bones.
This town scares me.
And no memo?
Has the passion cooled?
Sending smileys to other men.
North Star, my behind.
How did you find out?
He's your North Star, and I'm cow bones?
You're going to Seoul today.
I just wanted you to have extra energy.
And what will I do with that extra energy at night?
Have it in the day.
Your mind's in the gutter.
Hey, get that thing off.
Send me one of those North Pole texts too.
I don't send those out to just anyone.
Ma'am...
Hello.
You're mine till you're all bones.
I really want one of those texts.
Let's start the meeting.
We'll add that wing to the clinic to provide care for
children up to the age of five.
The budget is tight, but we'll subsidize a bulk of it.
Sounds good.
And what about the meal program for the needy?
We're looking for volunteers and donor restaurants.
Good.
That's it for the meeting, but I'll give you some homework.
Is that a problem?
I have your letters of resignation...
Other cities are reaping economic benefits by
holding training camps for athletes.
We need such specialized industries too.
Bring a list of ten items that make Inju attractive.
Can I bring fifteen items?
What's on the schedule?
An event about preventing fires.
Sounds good.
Thank you.
Ma'am, you have a guest.
Can we go out for some coffee?
This place has the best coffee in town.
I forgot that you're simple person.
I'll get to the point.
So you're building a public hospital.
What do you think about my family's company building it?
A corporation is about the bottom line.
But we do think about how we can coexist with the people.
In this day and age, a corporation should promote social welfare.
That's very thoughtful.
We got this far thanks to the people, it's time we give back.
So we've been looking at charitable opportunities.
And we're also looking for a business opportunity.
We hope to build a plant in Inju.
A plant?
Yes, it'd be a huge boom to Inju's economy and job market.
That's true.
But a hospital and a plant would cost a lot.
I told you this before, but we're in different economic classes.
Right.
But why pick Inju for such a great plant?
To be honest, it's not for you.
I'd be doing it for the assemblyman as his fiancee.
So you don't have to thank me yet.
The hospital and the plant, I hope the assemblyman gets credit for both.
Sure, of course.
We made a lot of progress for a first meeting.
I'll bring the specifics next meeting.
You've changed since I saw you.
I have?
Because you're in love?
You're glowing, Ms. Shin.
Are you having fun with him?
He's not very romantic.
Do you meet often?
Do you sleep with him?
Am I getting too personal?
If you're finished, excuse me.
Sit down.
I've put up with worse, and you can't last thirty minutes?
that wouldn't be right.
Yes, sit just like that.
That's my punishment for you.
What do you want to hear?
To be honest, I have nothing to say.
It's rather uncomfortable and humiliating, but...
But I'm really sorry.
You're sorry?
Did you bump into me?
Or step on my foot?
That's when you say sorry.
Don't even think that a lame apology frees you of guilt.
Or that you've done enough.
I rather enjoy times like this.
I have just one question.
Do you love him?
Love?
So that's your ammunition?
All you have to speak for yourself is his heart?
So you're hedging everything on hormones?
I can live without love.
So like I said, feel free to love each other.
If that's what he came give you, then it's all yours. So take it.
But no sentence ends in a comma.
Shin Mi Rae will be a mere comma in Joh Guk's life, not a period.
I have to tend to business.
Don't tell me.
You'll deny the people benefits out of petty jealousy?
When should we meet regarding the hospital and the plant?
But no sentence ends in a comma.
Shin Mi Rae will be a mere comma in Joh Guk's life, not a period.
[Joh Guk]
Which committee will you join?
Environment and labor.
Environment and labor?
Why such an unpopular...
Sir.
The chairman of the Justice Party is waiting in your office.
He is?
You haven't gotten your pin.
This is what we worked so hard for.
I wanted to put it on for you myself.
Thank you.
So what's the real story?
Big Brother appearing at your rally before his comeback...
You appearance at their party kickoff...
I get the feeling that there's more to your relationship.
So why did you really spurn the Unification Party
and join the Justice Party?
He and I have different convictions.
And your convictions are same as ours?
Since I rejected them, I chose the party in power.
That's the reality of Korean politics.
In power or not, liberal or conservative, left or right.
I felt I couldn't do anything without party affiliation.
Maybe you should come completely clean.
What do you mean?
Maybe you know the real reason why Big Brother initially left politics.
The real reason?
Other than what he mentioned in his own speech?
So that he had designated you as his successor was a rumor?
Let's go meet your colleagues.
I'll just introduce the newly elected assemblymen.
The man who won a record number of votes.
Assemblyman Yan Man Hee.
The youngest elected member who even has a fan club.
Assemblyman Joh Guk.
Good-looking young man.
As the kids say, 'easy on the eyes.'
Justice Party is looking good!
Why don't you be the party's spokesman?
You'll gain experience and garner support.
How can I accept such an important...
I like your style.
The ones who talk big never have it together.
You just have to look good.
Tell the cameramen to use only full shots for you.
Man, it's tough out there.
It's all about looks now.
Let's raise our support by five percent.
Yes sir.
As you know, we're trying to curb overseas travel by city officials.
But we aren't making any headway.
The opposition parties can get to their people though.
I don't get it.
Yes, everyone's whining about budget cuts.
Yet they insist on traveling abroad.
They can't even speak English.
Yet they insist on going abroad saying it's official business.
What are they going to do?
"Hello?" "I'm Korean, help me..."
You can do it on the phone!
Yes, you want to save taxpayer money.
But you all travel abroad often too.
Assemblymen do have to do abroad!
We're in the business of working for our nation!
I hear your city's major is only a high school graduate.
It's people like that we shouldn't send!
Take her passport if you can.
The opposition is in shambles with the creation of another party.
It's time for us to stay united.
The party in power is responsible for the country.
On that note, let's enjoy this meal.
Enjoy. You too.
This place has the most tender beef.
Come on, eat up.
What's next on your schedule?
Why don't we have a drink to celebrate your election?
I'm sorry. I have to go to my district for an even tomorrow.
That's too bad.
But you should attend events in your district.
Hello.
Everyone, our assemblyman is here!
Hello folks, are you enjoying your meal?
Yes!
I bought some fruits.
Patch things up with the councilwoman?
I hope I wasn't too obnoxious... I don't remember.
You didn't say much.
'Joo Hwa..'
That was about it.
Enjoy, everyone!
Let us know if you want more.
You're working so hard, Mayor.
And it's such a nice event.
Now if you would just sing a song, we'd be most grateful.
I can't sing, I'm tone deaf.
But we all insist!
I really can't sing.
But you're the mayor.
Here, drink some of this.
I'm so tired, my legs are shaking.
Thank you so much.
It must've cost you a lot.
It's the least I can do after you brought in so much business.
I got to do a good thing thanks to you.
And I get to brag that the mayor is my friend.
You're so clueless.
Let's go outside.
Have a good time.
You're still here.
I wanted to see you for a bit.
I have to go back to city hall.
I'm busy too, so don't turn me down.
I wore the sneakers too.
You sing well.
Sure.
Thanks for the fruit.
I have to do that much for my district.
The assembly starts its session next week.
I know.
You can come daily, you don't have to bring any bones.
What?
You've been looking down.
Did something happen while I was away?
Yes.
It was totally unexpected, but I became a comma, and I was punished.
What are you talking about?
Your fiancee.
Is she still your fiancee?
Was she here?
What do you plan to do?
You met with her? Did you fight?
I asked you a question.
I want to know what you plan to do.
Do you plan to see the both of us?
I haven't told her yet. I need more time.
What kind of time?
For me to get tired and quit?
For her to get tired and quit?
For her to save her pride.
I know that I'm selfish and this is hard on you.
But...
Can't you give her a break?
Do you want me to kick her to the curb and hurt her?
Would that prove my feelings for you?
I feel like I've lost my mind.
But I'm fine with it all.
Signing up for cooking sites to get spaghetti recipes...
Staying up like a child typing up contracts between us...
What matters is that we're together.
I want to give her time to walk away on her own.
You can't understand that?
Joo Hwa!
Open the gate, Joo Hwa!
Joo Hwa, let's talk.
I'm here to beg for your forgiveness.
Open up!
[I Hate This Chick]
Remember me, Ms. Goh?
I suddenly see eye to eye with you.
But this invitation alone isn't convincing.
Can you get me an audience with BB?
The party chairman will be here in thirty minutes.
He asks that you wait.
Tell him to take his time.
Certainly.
So you've formed the same opinion on this person?
Yes, but what shall we do?
Meeting such powerful man has me dreaming bigger things.
What do you mean?
I thought this meeting might land me on the provincial assembly.
But I'm starting to think I could run for the national assembly.
Maybe I could be a Unification Party nominee.
That depends on what cards you're holding.
You'll find it to your liking.
I plan to make the Inju's mayoral seat vacant...
That's for later.
There's someone else I want to attack first.
I can't see your cards, but can we keep the order?
Hi, how can I help you?
Doesn't your husband work for Inju Textiles?
Did you know that he has a promotions exam next month?
A promotions exam?
Do you have any witnesses?
Of course.
Come in.
Have a seat.
They're both local business owners.
Is it true that the mayor took items on tab during the campaign?
Yes.
And she hasn't paid a time since taking whatever she wanted?
Well...
Yes, I provided uniforms.
I sent several packages to the mayor's office.
Even an envelope...
An envelope?
Yes, to keep the city hall from relocating.
People in the local business association lobbied her.
Talk about highway robbery.
A clear case of taking bribes, isn't it?
It is.
Wonder Woman posters went up before the legal election period.
She also gave favors to campaign donors.
She can be prosecuted for violating election laws.
Not only that, she funded a meal program for farmers
without getting the required councils approval.
And then she told the directors that she'd keep running
for the next several elections.
She was threatening them.
A clear case of campaigning before the allowed time period.
Another violation.
Do you have a witness?
Yes, he couldn't be here because he's at work.
And the final blow.
The mayor was at Assemblyman Joh's rally.
And she provided him with her own campaign workers.
A violation of neutrality regulations.
This will be investigated.
This would surely nullify her election and incarcerate her.
What are you trying to pull?
As you can see, Mayor Shin has violated all kinds of campaign laws.
It looks like she'll end up in prison.
I dropped by on my way to the DA's office.
Maybe you can stop it.
Councilwoman!
I don't mean that you should stop me.
Your fiancee and I have become friends.
Well, we're both daughters of moguls.
The originals are sitting on her desk.
She drives a really nice car.
She can probably make it to the DA's office within thirty minutes.
It's been so long since you came to see me.
But you're here about the charges against Mayor Shin.
Think that she was the only reason things didn't work out?
Do you have to resort to this?
Want me to not do it?
Fine, I'll let her finish her two years.
After all, it's not her fault.
She lived in a small pond all her life, and you fell for her.
You did this to her.
You did her a great disservice.
It hurts me too that things came to this.
Whether she leaves in two year or
gets dragged out now is up to you.
You got her there in the first place.
When I said I wouldn't let you go
I was trying to save you some pride.
I was just using you before.
I know that.
But I can salvage my pride from other things.
So just keep that promise about me being at your side.
when you make it to the Blue House.
And if I don't go to the Blue House?
You'll let me go?
Then where would you go?
To prison to visit Mi Rae?
Fine, do what you want!
I already did.
Even if you were on your knees, I wasn't about to forgive you.
I bet they're searching the mayor's office and home...
What?
So if they're searching her office and home...
Where could she be headed about now?
Gather up everything.
Chief Lee, what do we do?
What are you doing?
What the hell is going on?
Mi Rae, why are they doing this?
You're under arrest for violating election laws and taking bribes.
I was there a few days ago and they released me!
And it's the same charges again.
Yes, I did eat those bell-flower roots.
I had no idea they were one hundred year old herbal roots!
Save it for later, Ma'am.
Show her out.
Let go.
I'll walk out on my own.
Don't worry, I've been there already.
I'll make it to the evening event, so just cancel the afternoon schedule.
Let's go.
Mi Rae!
You see everything?
You have fourteen counts against you.
And you even know all the witnesses.
Yet you still deny it?
I haven't done anything wrong.
Listen, Mayor Shin.
Just admit to what you've done.
That way, you'll get out soon.
I haven't done anything wrong.
You want to keep this up?
Where's the mayor?
She's being questioned. No one is allowed.
Mr. Kim, let me just see her.
It'll take five minutes.
Let me act as her counsel.
Come on, bud.
Isn't it obvious this is political?
Someone's out to get her.
Isn't she the mayor in your district?
Once the press gets hold of this, her political career is over.
They have airtight evidence.
And I've never seen so many witnesses.
Anyway, is there something between you two?
I'm sorry, everyone.
I want to be a compassionate mayor.
A cool mayor willing to admit mistakes.
I want to be remembered as an honest mayor.
You.
You win.
It sure looks that way.
Big Brother has been waiting for you. Pay him a visit tomorrow.
Don't worry about Mi Rae, I'll take care of everything.
- Mayor! - Mi Rae!
Are you okay, Ma'am?
Are you all right?
Have you gotten any sleep?
Is it true?
The market owner and the t-shirt shop lady were witnesses against you?
How could they do that to you?
The rice plants need sleep to grow.
Sorry I couldn't call you.
I heard what happened.
But I really didn't do anything.
So I'm taking legal action. I won't let this slide.
I won't take this sitting down.
I'll find out who did this, and I'll... I'll pay them back ten times.
So help me.
Why should I?
You know that I adopted Rang, but do you know why?
My mother once took in a foster child.
That was Rang.
She was sick for a whole month after he was gone.
When she raised me, every day was a battle.
But with Rang, she felt that maternal love.
So I adopted him.
It was the only way to make my mom stop crying.
But I had another motive too.
It would provide a positive image for my political career.
It would provide a cover for my being a bachelor.
As you know, I want to become president.
You said the ends justify the means.
I'm sure that you'd be a great president.
No.
I don't want to be a great president.
I don't want people to admire me.
I want them to fear me.
It's about having absolute power.
But you're standing in my future.
You were right, we can't be on the same side.
What?
What are you...?
I'm sorry, but I'm going back to where I belong.
Assemblyman...
Don't let me beat you.
Ever.
Wait.
Wait just a second.
Wait!
Wait...
Wait!
Is Assemblyman Joh in?
Where is he?
He said he had to tend to some business.
Have a seat. Is something wrong?
Where did he go?
I...
I lost...
So don't harm her...
She had big dreams. Please don't harm her.

Where are you?
And you complain that I don't pick up.
The plant will recycle energy from recycled waste...
I'm sorry it lasted so short.
I won't give you the permit.
Are you crazy?
I'm going all the way.
Subtitles ripped by www.vikisubtitle.com Shin Mi Rae was voted mayor. For that one voter, she's his only hope.
