THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION. ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES,
ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Father.
I couldn't turn a blind eye to it any longer.
Well, I didn't want to.
I'll help you.
Thank you.
All right, let's go inside.
SONGJU
This is a lot bigger than I thought.
I didn't think it'd be this huge.
We must reveal this to the world.
It won't be easy.
Those people will do whatever it takes
to stop us.
Yes, they will.
BAIT
Sang-hun?
Sang-hun.
Mr. Kim Pil-yeon?
Is that you, Sang-hun?
Is that you over there?
No.
No!
Sang-hun.
No!
- No! - What was that?
No!
No, please!
No!
- Enough. - No!
I said, enough.
Let's go.
No, wait!
Ms. Kim, how did you find out that he'd be here?
What is your relationship with the victim?
Hey, wait. Just a second.
Damn it.
- Hey, where is Jeong Sang-hun? - He's not here.
We searched every single shipping container
but didn't even find his hair.
This is crazy.
Guys, search
every building within a 5km radius...
Forget it.
Search every corner of Ansan and find Jeong Sang-hun. Get moving!
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
AMBULANCE
Excuse me. Just a moment.
- Mr. Kim Pil-yeon. - Ma'am.
- Mr. Kim. - Ma'am, please.
- Mr. Kim. - You can't do this.
- Please step back. - Get up. Get up!
Wake up! You said you'd tell me.
- You said you'd tell me. - Hey, let me talk to her.
- Ms. Kim. - Keep your word! Wake up.
- Enough. Please! - Let go.
- Stop. - No, I have to wake him up.
- Just a second. - He's dead.
He can't die like that. Just a second. Wait!
- Please. - Wait!
He said he'd tell me where Sang-hun is and that it wasn't his doing.
- What do you mean? - He said he'd tell me
who took Sang-hun and where he is now.
Kim Pil-yeon said that to you?
Is Sang-hun going to be okay?
It wasn't my doing.
Bring 50 million won.
If you do as I say,
I'll tell you who did it and why it happened.
I'll tell you everything.
Don't forget. You must come alone.
What do I do now?
Is Sang-hun going to be okay? What should I do?
Detective Jo, what do I do now?
Please help me, Detective Jo.
How am I going to save Sang-hun now?
- I heard you asked for me, sir. - Yes.
What do you think?
Do you think Kim Pil-yeon
really took his own life?
Is there someone you're suspicious of, sir?
Yeong-min.
Yes, sir.
Find out
what Mr. In was up to
on the day when Sang-hun went missing.
I want
an hourly breakdown of what he ate,
where he went,
and whom he met that day. Find out everything.
I'm sure that punk
is plotting something behind my back.
He's hiding something.
What's with those sad eyes?
People might think you were fond of him.
Let's see.
Cyanide, nitrate, alkaloid...
The toxicology report seems fine.
And no wounds left from defending himself.
So he took his own life?
According to the report, yes.
Look at that. It's pretty bad, isn't it?
It's from before he died.
Do you see all the scrapes and wounds?
They're a few days old.
I'll show you this too.
Someone broke his ankle.
This prick...
This is confusing me.
- What do you want to drink? - Give me the big one.
Dozens of police officers searched every corner of Ansan.
And we found nothing.
- Did you guys find anything? - No, sir.
- This is for you guys. - Great.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Keep searching. Go on.
- Keep it up. - Yes, sir.
Hey, what if that bastard really buried him somewhere?
I mean, why not? If he was going to take his own life anyway.
Do you also believe that Kim Pil-yeon took his own life?
He hanged himself, so it's obviously suicide.
He told Kim Seo-hui that the real culprit is someone else, so why?
Why suddenly take his own life?
Have you ever seen a criminal admitting he is indeed a criminal?
He obviously hanged himself because he felt cornered.
There are no signs of homicide.
But I think he fought with someone. He was beaten up pretty badly.
His ankle is broken.
Hey, that's not important now.
Jeong Yeong-mun has been calling the chief of the National Police Agency every day,
asking about his son's case.
We might end up on the chopping block before we can even find Jeong Sang-hun.
Sure.
Shall I go ask a fortune-teller?
Don't be silly. Just keep on looking.
You go that way.
This is driving me nuts.
Hello. Have you seen this man by any chance?
- No, I haven't. - Never?
THE REED FIELD WITH SANG-HUN
It's me.
Are you all right?
Seo-hui.
Quit the campaign.
It's the right thing to do.
You're distraught now.
I don't know why you suddenly decided to announce your candidacy,
but you don't have to listen to Mr. Hong.
I know that your father wouldn't have wanted it either.
But Mr. Kang...
You're struggling to even pull yourself together.
I'll sort everything out.
What? She wants to resign?
Is it because she's stupid? She clearly can't gauge the situation.
You're out of line, sir.
Then she shouldn't have agreed to do it.
What are we going to do if she quits like this?
Does she not care about the party at all?
We're totally screwed.
I'm sure she knows all of that.
It's just that she can't be campaigning at the moment.
- Even holding herself together... - Be quiet!
You need to know when not to butt in!
I'm already fuming mad, so don't get on my nerves.
I don't care if you have to grab and drag her here.
Just bring her to me.
Actually, no. Where is she? I'll go...
I'm sorry.
I'm a little late.
My gosh, Ms. Kim. We're all human after all.
Don't push yourself too hard. You should've rested for a couple of days.
Have a seat. Please sit.
Do you know of any good medicinal clinics in Songju?
She'll faint at this rate.
- What do I need to do first? - You don't even need to ask.
We've already arranged everything for you.
You just need to be there.
- You called Mr. Choi, right? - Yes, sir.
He'll secure at least 10,000 votes for you,
so all you need to do today is meet Mr. Choi
and have a meal with him.
- Hello, ma'am. - How can I help you?
I'm here to look at your house.
- But we're not selling our house. - Excuse me.
Wait. I told you that we're not selling our house.
Isn't it for sale?
No, it's not.
That's odd. The realtor down the street said that it is.
The realtor was probably confused.
Get out. Leave, please.
Do you live here alone, ma'am?
- Yes, I do. Please leave now. - I see.
- But if you live alone, why... - No! Don't open that door.
Don't. Please leave.
Gosh, I told you to leave!
Wait! Leave, please.
There is nothing to see.
Wait. My gosh.
Ma'am,
didn't you say that you live alone?
Well, my grandson visited me.
- Gosh, please leave now. - I see, your grandson.
Who? Mr. Kim Pil-yeon?
- Well... - He was hiding here, wasn't he?
No, I don't know anyone by that name.
Come on. Don't lie.
I saw you pouring soju into the glass
and lighting the cigarette earlier.
Well...
Ma'am, you have to be honest with me.
You know what he did.
What they said on the news is all a lie.
He said it was unfair
and that someone was trying to kill him.
He was scared and felt wronged. That's all he said before he died.
If only he had made it onto the ship...
Then he would've lived.
If only he had made it onto the ship...
"The ship," ma'am?
Let's have soju.
- Dig in. - Oh, my.
- Mr. Choi. - Yes, sir.
Please take good care of Ms. Kim.
Knowing how influential you are in Songju,
I bet even a dead person can win any election with your help.
Gosh, I can't do that!
But I'm sure Ms. Kim
will get plenty of votes even without my help.
All right. Ms. Kim.
- I mean, Assemblywoman Kim. - That's right.
Let me pour you a drink.
Gosh, you don't need to get up. Please sit.
You can just use one hand.
All right, everyone. The daughter of Songju, Kim Seo-hui.
Let's go!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
You're brave, unlike Mr. Jeong.
You know my husband?
I've probably seen him more than anyone else has since he moved to Songju.
My heart breaks whenever I think about him.
- He was such a virtuous, kindhearted man. - Oh, dear.
He should've become a professor instead of a businessman.
Assemblyman Kim was a wonderful man as well.
That tenderhearted man died such a tragic death
- because he listened to those commies... - Enough, Mr. Choi.
My apologies. I'm being such a downer, aren't I?
It's all my fault. I'll take the blame for everything.
All of this happened because I failed
to take care of the labor union.
It's not your fault.
Those bastards are all in the wrong.
All they do is try to figure out how they can leech off others.
Under the Chun Doo-hwan administration, they would've been bulldozed with a tank
and dumped into the sea.
There will be no improvement in Songju
as long as commies like them are allowed to wreak havoc.
Totally.
Everyone here should support Ms. Kim to the best of their ability!
Sure thing!
Look at you, Kim Seo-hui.
Did you drink?
Yes, a little.
Who knew I'd ever see you running for a seat in the National Assembly?
Assemblywoman Kim Seo-hui.
Hey, Assemblywoman Kim.
It's so weird.
I feel the same way.
Yeong-min.
I really don't want to do this.
Isn't he so cruel?
How could he worry me this much?
How?
How could he hang me out to dry like this?
Sang-hun, that jerk.
What a jerk.
He's such a jerk.
I'll teach that prick a serious lesson when he comes back.
You're cursing him nonstop.
Do you want me to tell him?
Sang-hun!
Seo-hui says you're cruel.
She thinks you're so damn mean.
I'm going to teach you a lesson when I see you.
I hope we can see him soon, Yeong-min.
So he was trying to extort money from Kim Seo-hui to get on the ship?
- Yes. - If he was indeed planning to stow away,
that means he had no intention of taking his own life.
Then who killed Kim Pil-yeon?
The real culprit, probably.
On March 3, Kim Seung-cheol died and Jeong Sang-hun disappeared.
That night, there was a fire in the building where Kim Pil-yeon was hiding.
Grandma!
Then he fled to Ansan at the crack of dawn on the 4th.
My gosh.
And he stayed there until the day he died.
He stayed there the whole time, since the 4th?
The hand and the knife.
He couldn't have been the one who put them there.
That's right.
See? What did I say the other day?
How many times did I tell you that Tae-sik is right?
You never said that.
You said he put them there
because he probably has OCD like Ho-gyu does.
Well, in any case...
What was I going to say?
Right. Judging from what Kim Pil-yeon told Kim Seo-hui,
I think he knew who the real culprit is.
Start with people around Kim Pil-yeon.
I'm sure it's someone he knows.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir. I'm on it.
Gosh, Jeong Sang-hun or whatever his name is...
I never heard Pil-yeon saying he knows people in such high places.
That's right. That prick probably knew some gamblers, but that's about it.
But didn't he set himself on fire once
to protect the factory?
Gosh, that was a long time ago.
When all of us were fighting and suffering injuries,
Pil-yeon didn't even show up. You all know that.
- Yes. - I just made this. Try it.
This looks delicious.
By the way, why did Pil-yeon do that?
Life is tough, you know.
I wasn't going to bring this up,
but do you know how much he brought to my son's wedding
as a gift?
He only brought 5,000 won.
What? 5,000 won? Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
Then how could he afford to gamble?
I heard his wife's butcher shop went bust because of his debt.
- Really? - Then where did he get the money?
You should never gamble, period.
- That's right. - It ruins your life.
I guess there's a gambling den in this area.
Someone saw it at the fish market.
Yes, I heard that too.
- It's horrible. - Let me fill up your glass.
ASSEMBLYMAN KIM SEUNG-CHEOL
ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE, CANDIDATE NUMBER 1
- She should look barefaced, - Okay.
but we can't forgo makeup.
People don't like seeing too much makeup on the eyes and lips.
Seo-hui, you should take your earrings off.
Otherwise, people will assume that you spend lavishly and gossip about it.
Okay.
- Hello. - This is Kim Seo-hui,
- the daughter of Songju. - My gosh, can I shake your hand?
Let's see. You look beautiful.
One, two, three.
Your father was a regular here. Please take a seat. You can sit here.
Have as much as you'd like.
Your father always had two bowls.
Thank you, ma'am.
Make sure you address everyone as either "ma'am" or "sir."
You'll win the election.
When you're shaking people's hands, use both hands and be polite.
- Hello. - Hello.
Even if you don't want to, you have to eat all the foods that people offer you.
Refusing such offers or eating like a bird is so off-putting.
- Try this. Good! - Eat everything and enjoy it.
My gosh, we should shake hands too.
Why are you so startled?
- You're just so adorable. - Please, sir.
- Sir. - You have such a pretty face.
- Can we take a picture with you? - Just one photo, please.
Please allow me to introduce
Ms. Kim Seo-hui, the daughter of Songju.
THE CITY FOR EVERYONE, SONGJU
THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR SONGJU
Hello.
Well, I'm...
Hello,
I'm Kim Seo-hui.
Hey.
Did you fart?
This smell isn't from a fart.
What is this smell?
Clean your car, please.
How long has it been?
He went in about an hour ago.
I wonder if he's doing a good job.
I'm worried because we sent that kid all by himself.
Our budget is so little.
He's probably spent it all by now.
Hey,
if you're that worried,
why don't you go in too?
Jeez, I'm out.
Gosh, already?
I'm sorry. I got two nine cards.
Hold on.
The ten cards again?
Hey, our stomachs are turning, so put in extra cream.
Sure.
Mr. Lee, I need to borrow some money from you.
You do? Well, let me see.
Let's see.
How much have you lost?
Oh, boy. The man from Seoul is crushing you guys today.
- How much do you need? - Three big ones.
Three? Hold on.
I guess you're new. Are you new?
Yes, this is my first day here.
I guess you're from Gyeongsang Province. I'm from Gyeongsang Province too.
What made you come all the way here to Songju?
I'm here hoping to get some tips from guys like you.
Where are the guys who work at the RMC?
I heard they are generous when it comes to tipping.
RMC? You mean Kim?
Hey, don't you even watch the news?
He's dead.
Why would you talk about a dead man?
It just makes me miss that pushover, Pil-yeon.
Pil-yeon, you darn pushover Pil-yeon.
Did he come here quite often?
He hung around here all the time.
He never seemed to run out of money.
I guess he lost a lot of money here.
Why are you being so inquisitive?
- Never mind. Have some coffee. - Regional Investigation Unit?
- Let me see. - No, that's not it.
- Run, guys! - No!
Darn it!
Go catch them.
- You jerk. - Stop right there.
You idiots.
Run!
What's going on?
Damn it.
- Hey! - Run!
Stop chasing me!
- Don't come. - Stop right there.
- You jerk. - Don't follow.
Wait, you punks.
- Get changed and catch up! - Hey, where's the head?
He went that way.
Captain.
- Hey! - What?
- Move over. - He's right there. Hurry.
Go chase him!
Move over!
- Stop right there. - Move over.
Don't come near me. Stop chasing me!
You punk.
You jerk...
- Don't come near me. - Catch him.
Just follow him.
- Hello. - Guys, there's a cop.
Stop him.
What?
Hey!
- Keep running. - Stop, you jerk!
Move over.
- Hey, where's the banker? - That way.
Hey!
You jerk.
This way.
Stop right there.
They're so fast.
Just stop running.
Stop there.
Darn it. Come here. Just turn yourselves in.
Give yourselves up.
Damn! You darn coward.
FOOD WASTE
How dare you...
Hey.
How dare you touch my butt?
Hey, that's enough. What's wrong with you?
You idiot.
Why are you being like this?
- Gosh, my back. - You little...
Hey.
So are you saying you're a victim?
I lent Kim Pil-yeon about 200 million won.
Why did you lend him money when he didn't even pay you back?
Well...
That's just...
Don't you dare lie to us.
I was told to do so.
By whom?
If I told you that, I'd be dead already.
- I'll just beat the crap out of you... - It's Mr. Choi! The CEO!
Mr. Choi?
Which Mr. Choi?
Mr. Choi Chi-deuk, the CEO of Songju RMC.
Choi Chi-deuk?
Who's the brat?
Songju Times was the first one to release it.
And it spread all over in a day.
Can't you even stop it from happening?
The approval rating has halved just in a couple of days.
The opposition party is busy finding fault with her. What do we do?
I didn't know you'd use rough words there like that.
So you should've worked harder, Ms. Kim.
They couldn't dare to mess with us like this.
What do you want me to do then?
This isn't her fault though.
Yes, it is.
She can't even say her name right.
She seems unreliable even with her father's reputation.
That's why it's happening.
We're trying to spoon-feed her, but she just can't take it.
I'll try harder, Mr. Hong.
I have to win the election. Please help.
Please don't worry, Mr. Hong. I'll take care of it somehow.
Forget it. We have to take care of that darn reporter first.
No, it's Choi Chi-deuk.
That stupid idiot didn't even know there was a reporter.
- Call Mr. Choi immediately. - Yes, sir.
I'm so sorry.
I should've been more thorough.
I'll find some salable reporters to water it down.
Yes. Please take care. Okay.
Darn it. I'm screwed.
I'm sorry. I'm getting a lot of complaints.
No problem.
You seem really busy.
Well, yes. How may I help you?
Why did you lie?
What did I lie about?
Kim Pil-yeon.
You said you have nothing to do with him.
Apparently, he got tons of money from you.
It's not like I gave him money.
He was in urgent need of money,
so I lent him some. That's something you can do out of pity.
Stop talking nonsense.
You led the banker by the nose to keep watch on Kim Pil-yeon's every move.
Mr. Choi.
What did you do that night?
The night Kim Pil-yeon died.
Kim...
Kim Pil-yeon died?
Where's your clicker? Turn on the TV and watch it.
The whole nation is in an uproar.
It's your employee we're talking about. How could you not know that?
This is unfortunate for me too. I'm a victim here.
Kim Pil-yeon, that jerk showed up out of nowhere
and asked me for money saying he'd disband the labor union.
He asserted that he'd expel about 15 members or so.
Think about it.
With about 15 members expelled, we can't even call it the labor union.
I just fell for his petty tricks
and got ripped off.
It's not a bad thing to watch someone to see if he's doing his job right.
It just doesn't appeal to me.
It doesn't?
Please take care, detectives.
Mr. Choi.
Next time we meet, I won't let you get away.
I'll make sure
we will never meet again.
Darn it.
He's really suspicious, right?
Was he home alone the night Kim Pil-yeon died?
I'll check all the security camera footage in the neighborhood.
Make sure to check them all.
Then let's see if we should meet him again or not.
Sir,
I sincerely beg for your forgiveness.
I'll make sure to fix it. Please give me another chance.
It's not like I can give you a chance.
You're supposed to prove yourself.
Yes, sir. I'll prove myself for sure.
I will make sure to get your daughter-in-law elected
and move everything forward as planned.
I'll risk my life for it.
Don't risk your life for trifles.
Remember
that I have a big stake in this game.
Yes, sir.
Let's just go and eat.
My fellow citizens of Songju.
I'm your neighbor, number two,
Bae Cheon-sik.
NUMBER 1, KIM SEO-HUI
Everyone.
Now that her approval rating has fallen,
doesn't Ms. Kim even join the campaigns?
How may I help you?
I need to meet with her.
Where is she now?
Go that way, and you'll see her.
Is this Mr. Kim Seung-cheol's...
I can do this. I really can.
I have to do this.
I must do it.
Hey, Kim Seo-hui.
Who are you?
SONGJU RMC
How dare you call us a commie!
Is that how your father taught you?
You traitor's daughter.
We're the ones who revived Songju.
But you just dumped us like trash.
Get out of here now, you traitor.
Hey.
Get out of Songju, okay?
Are you all right?
Over here.
Gosh, are you okay?
EMERGENCY WARD
You'd lose your voice for a while.
Try not to talk much.
And watch what you eat until your vocal cords get better.
I'll prescribe some medicine.
Get some rest. I'll go get the prescription filled.
- Please excuse me. - Okay.
Thank you.
The doctor said you shouldn't talk.
Did you not hear him?
Why are you putting up with this?
Do you know the guy named Choi Chi-deuk?
He's the CEO of Songju RMC that Kim Pil-yeon worked for.
- Do you know him? - Well...
Wait.
HE HELPS ME WITH THE CAMPAIGN
He helps you with the campaign?
HE SAYS HE KNOWS MY HUSBAND TOO
How do they know each other?
I heard they met for business.
For the new business?
Why?
Nothing. I'll tell you later.
Be careful with him just in case.
And make sure to tell me if anything happens.
I'll see you later.
Kim Pil-yeon and Choi Chi-deuk?
Why does everything seem to be circling around Kim Seo-hui?
SECURITY CAMERAS OF JEONGSEON
- Detective Kang. - Leave her be.
Detective Jo.
- About Choi Chi-deuk. - Yes?
It turns out he's the chairman of Songju Rotary.
He's the chairman of Songju Rotary Club.
He's in close association with local worthies.
And he's got some power with local newspapers.
I just found out something while looking into him.
Apparently, he's quite rich.
You know the sites for the new business, right?
Yes.
Most of the sites belong to Choi Chi-deuk.
He spent almost 20 billion won on the sites.
- He spent 20 billion won? - Yes.
But what's funny about him is that
he doesn't even have two million won in his account.
Isn't that strange?
Are you sure you read the numbers right?
Of course. It says right here.
Hello? This is Investigation Headquarters.
Yes, this is Investigation Headquarters of Songju.
Who?
Yes, he's here.
Please hang on.
- What? - It's from a prosecutor.
Yes?
Why did you check Choi Chi-deuk's bank account?
Did you call me all the way here to ask me that?
You could've asked on the phone.
Just answer my question.
Only if you tell me first.
HAN JUN-SEOK
Us prosecutors got to Choi Chi-deuk first.
For what?
You're even monitoring his bank account.
It must be something.
What a nuisance.
Hey, are you expecting me to brief you on every single detail?
To us,
he's a suspect in a murder case.
- A murder case? - I don't know what this is about,
but I guess this is more urgent.
We got a tip-off last month.
That the CEO of Songju RMC is buying all sites
for the new business with the inside information.
Once I sign this contract,
will I live like a rich and powerful man in a fancy apartment?
Of course you will.
You can live well-off
without your children's support.
You will get a bed of roses in later life.
He preyed on naive old men who had no idea about the new business.
If it's true, it's against the fair-trade act.
Anyway, the problem is
that he can never afford to buy the sites.
According to the informant,
there must be someone keeping him in money.
So there's a financier, and Choi Chi-deuk is just a puppet?
It's possible.
Who's the informant?
That's actually quite tricky.
Everyone, Songju used to be a small and poor city.
Who do you think is
the father of Songju who worked night and day
to make the city rich and powerful
like how it is now?
- Kim Seung-cheol! - Kim Seung-cheol!
And right here, we have someone to carry on his unfinished work.
Please show her your support.
She's Candidate Kim Seo-hui, Assemblyman Kim Seung-cheol's daughter.
- Kim Seo-hui! - Kim Seo-hui!
Hello.
I'm Assemblyman Kim daughter, Kim Seo-hui.
I appreciate your support.
- Get lost, Kim Seo-hui! - Get lost!
The traitor's daughter should give up the election!
You have to apologize.
You're a traitor's daughter.
Get lost, you betrayer!
Get lost!
- Seo-hui, are you all right? - I'm fine.
- You don't deserve to be here. - Get lost.
- Get out of Songju. - Get lost!
Dae-yong,
I think I know what was happening
- to Jeong Sang-hun and Kim Seung-cheol. - What do you know?
I'll tell you when I get there.
Just make sure to keep Choi Chi-deuk with you.
What did you say?
What is going on?
- Get lost! - You traitor, Kim Seo-hui.
- Get out of Songju. - Get out of Songju.
NUMBER 1 KIM SEO-HUI
- Get out of Songju. - Get out of Songju.
What do we do with Seo-hui? What do we do now?
Why do you even ask?
Will you let her give a speech reeking of eggs?
- Go and get her. - Me?
Just go and bring her!
DAUGHTER OF SONGJU, KIM SEO-HUI
NUMBER 1, KIM SEO-HUI
CANDIDATE KIM SEO-HUI OF LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY
My fellow...
citizens of Songju...
TRAITOR'S DAUGHTER, LEAVE!
[Netflix Ver] OCN E03 'The Lies Within' "Bait" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hey, learn how to drive!
- Okay. Just go. - You'd better drive properly.
NUMBER 1, KIM SEO-HUI
A while ago,
I looked at an album.
I noticed that my dad and I didn't take a lot of photos together.
He was always in Songju.
Actually, he couldn't even attend my high school
and college graduation.
When I was young...
No.
Even up until a few days ago,
I felt as if I have lost my dad to Songju.
So I was very scared
to come face to face with Songju where my dad was no longer in.
Hey, cut it. Cut that out.
Hold on, sir. That's a nice speech.
But when I went around the city for my campaign,
I saw traces of my dad here and there.
It's on the house.
Eat up.
What will you do if my stomach ruptures after eating that?
I'll take full responsibility for that. That's not that hard.
My gosh, thank you for the food.
I know you have a tough job. Eat as much as you can.
- At the kalguksu restaurant in the market, - Are you eating without me?
- Sir. - my dad always had two bowls of noodles.
So the owner gave me two bowls of noodles.
I saw a memory of my dad in the owner.
And at a community center for elderlies...
Everyone, this is my third go. Get ready.
- All right. It worked. It's my third go. - Damn it.
- Wait. No, I won't play this. - Jeez.
- This makes no sense. - I worked so hard for this. I won.
- If that's true, don't hand me that card! - There he goes again.
"Goodness, that man was so chatty.
But he sucked at playing cards."
So later, they shared their winnings with him because they felt bad.
I also saw a memory of my dad in the elderly, too.
I know that I will never surpass my dad.
But
I want to stay in Songju,
the city my dad loved his whole life and next to my dad.
You can scold me a lot if I am doing a bad job.
You can yell at me.
You can throw eggs at me and spit at me.
If you teach me and lead me,
I promise you to do my very best.
I will do my best
to bring Songju closer to the city my dad, Kim Seung-cheol,
had worked so hard to achieve.
And if I keep going at this, one day,
I might be able to see my dad in my dream.
And I hope this is what he tells me, then.
"Gosh,
my youngest daughter.
You're working so hard to follow in my footsteps."
- Withdraw your candidacy! - Withdraw your candidacy!
- You're a piece of shit!
- Let go of me, you asshole. - Withdraw your candidacy!
Please give me a chance.
Not to mar the good name of my father,
I will give everything I have for this position.
Please give me a chance.
I need your help.
- Yes. Let's give her a chance. - Kim Seo-hui!
- Kim Seo-hui!
We meet again.
I thought you were living your life carefully.
Pull up your chair.
- Detective. - Oh, my.
- You're quite the big landowner. - Pardon?
- Did you inherit all of your land? - Inherit, my ass.
This jerk bought all of them.
Wait, how did you know the new business was going to set up there?
You stole inside information, didn't you?
As long as the new business was a green light,
the lots you bought dirt cheap will be expensive pieces of land.
You probably already finished the calculation.
And you were just waiting for the day when the prices would skyrocket.
But Kim Seung-cheol and Jeong Sang-hun
stabbed you in the back.
If they set up the new business somewhere else,
you would be livid, of course.
Five-billion-won land would easily increase tenfold or twentyfold.
Your dream was about to be shattered because of Jeong Sang-hun.
- Right? - Detective.
- This is a misunderstanding. - By the way,
Jeong Sang-hun told a prosecutor
that Choi Chi-deuk didn't have any means to buy this land.
Since the source of the money was suspicious,
he told the prosecutor to definitely look into it.
I knew it.
You can't run this kind of operation on your own.
Something was off about Kim Pil-yeon, too. Fighting for the company?
He got so wrapped up in gambling.
He was nowhere near interested in protecting the factory.
It makes me wonder why both you and Jeong Sang-hun
were so eager to give Kim Pil-yeon money.
It means he knew something.
For example,
he might have known who was backing you up, Mr. Choi.
You know what? Let's clear up this misunderstanding and talk about this.
Just tell me who's backing you up.
Then, we'll just let you go as a free man.
How about that?
Excuse me. I'm sorry. I wasn't going to laugh.
Did he seriously just laugh?
Can't we do something?
- On my way here, - Don't get riled up.
- Just watch. - I decided not to say a thing.
But it's so hard not to tell you since this is just hilarious.
Detectives.
Detectives!
You shouldn't lead your investigation based on your imagination. Okay?
Hey.
Hey. Is this funny to you?
Why did you kill Kim Pil-yeon?
Why do you keep saying that I killed him?
Excuse me, Detective. I can't even kill an ant.
I'm too weak-hearted to kill anything.
You made me come all the way here to talk about this nonsense. I'm busy, you know.
Do you have proof?
Do you?
Seriously. Korean police officers are so...
Damn it.
What's that?
All right.
Where did he get that?
We won.
Gosh, you look much better in the video.
The building where Kim Pil-yeon was hiding in was set on fire that night.
As it so happens, on the same day around the same time,
you bought oil from a gas station nearby.
That's odd, you know.
I doubt that you went to Jeongseon from Songju just to buy oil. Am I wrong?
You set it on fire, didn't you?
To kill Kim Pil-yeon.
You failed to kill him that night,
so you followed him all the way to Ansan to finish him off.
Didn't I tell you?
I said I won't let you get away next time we meet.
Mr. Choi Chi-deuk, what do you think about our imagination?
That's enough.
Who's that?
- Who's that? - Wait.
JANG AND JANG LAW FIRM
My client was with his mistress when the incident took place and the 19th,
- the day of Kim Pil-yeon's death. - Hey, this is bad.
Here's her statement.
You'll rather go
with adultery than murder?
But why didn't you tell us that sooner?
He's in a divorce lawsuit with his wife.
If she finds out, he'll be at a disadvantage in dividing the assets.
The land is under his name, so there's nothing illegal about that.
The fire.
And he went to Jeongseon on the third
to travel with his friend I mentioned earlier.
And his car ran out of gas.
I'm sure the lady will testify if it's necessary.
- That friend of his is quite useful. - Darn it.
Where did she come from?
You cannot implicate that my client was involved in the murder
of Kim Pil-yeon because he bought gas at a gas station nearby.
Besides, he didn't die that day, either.
Do you have other evidence?
I will take that as you do not have anything to hold my client here.
How were you able to prepare this much during that short period of time?
It's as if you had the whole thing prepared,
knowing this would happen.
If you have any further questions, you can contact me.
- We should go. - Okay.
Damn it.
One more thing.
I'm really dying to know.
You hardly have any money in your bank account.
Where did you get all that money to buy the land
and have the luxury to hire an expensive lawyer like him?
Hey.
"Hey"?
Are you talking to me?
Wait for me.
I'll catch you no matter what.
Okay. Have a good day.
Long time no see.
- What? You piece of... - You're scaring me.
Damn it!
I heard the police are investigating Mr. Choi at the moment.
They believe that he is connected to Kim Pil-yeon's murder.
And you asked me to look into Mr. In the other day.
Mr. In was in a meeting with his team in the morning
of the day when Sang-hun disappeared.
And in the afternoon, he met up with a subcontractor,
so he wasn't in his office.
Is that all?
I checked with the subcontractor. It's true that they had a meeting,
but an in-person meeting was replaced with e-mails
as Mr. In's request.
I cannot confirm his whereabouts for two hours that day.
Sir, why are you keeping him around if you don't trust him?
Is there a reason?
You're suspecting him.
Yeong-min.
Keep your friends close,
but keep your enemies closer.
Keep an eye on him.
Nothing happened. Nothing at all.
If something happened, do you think I'd be here?
Damn it. It's all because of that bastard, Kim Pil-yeon.
But I'm relieved, you know.
Kim Pil-yeon and Jeong Sang-hun are dead.
Seeing how everything is going smoothly, God must be on our...
Watch your tongue.
Don't you want to sell the factory?
I'm sorry.
But,
let's get one thing straight.
It's not that I want to sell it,
it's more like you want to buy it.
I don't have to sell the factory,
but if things go wrong,
won't you be in big trouble?
I think
I have the upper hand in this round.
See you when we sign the contract.
Mr. In.
Let me present our candidate.
She's a proud daughter of Songju.
I give you Candidate Kim Seo-hui!

Who do you think put the foot there?
We'll pass the bill for the new business in two months at the latest.
