- My gosh, hello. - We love you!
All right. Thank you so much!
Thanks.
Gosh, you didn't have to do this.
I'm glad you're back.
Gosh, you punk.
Jin Gab. Good job.
Congratulations on your glorious return.
Thank you, sir.
- Good job. - Great work.
Gosh, you're liking this.
What are you doing, Mr. Jo? We're late. Run!
The day I was informed of my transfer back to Guwon Branch,
this is what Mi Ran said.
This is as far as you can go.
You cannot cause trouble like this ever again.
Dad, you stood me up...
last month because you were busy.
Go easy on your job.
- I love you. Good luck! - Good luck!
Hey, wait.
- Thank you. - Seriously?
- And my father told me this. - Thanks.
If you don't listen to me and make another colossal mess,
I'm going to disown you!
- Come on, get off. - Hey, you're pushing me out!
Hold on.
I had no idea then...
the day of my colossal mess was just around the corner.
- That can't be true! - That's the rule.
How dare you call yourself a civil servant?
You live a comfortable life with the taxes I pay to the government!
Why can't you collect my overdue wage?
We want to help you too, but you must go through this process...
Forget about the process.
I'm so broke that I can't even make rent this month!
- Let's sit down and calm down. - Give me my money!
Why would I calm down now?
Give me my money now!
I want my money. You jerk.
- Give it back now. No way. - Let's talk about this.
Jo Jin Gab.
Yes, sir. Lee Dong Young!
Where are you going? Hey! Stop right there.
Come here. I want my money!
- Out of my way. - Hold on. Sit down, sir.
We did raid Myeongseong Group to serve the people of the country.
However, it is near impossible to take care of everything.
When we take care of one thing, there's another problem.
When we take care of the problem, there's another one popping up.
In that case, what should we do?
- We should talk. - What if talking doesn't work?
What takes up 90 percent of our official business?
Oh, right. Stay away from complicated matters when you can.
That's right. Stay away when you can.
If we can help it, we should stay away.
If we don't, we'll end up becoming collateral damage between them.
You know I'll retire in a year, right?
We just need to get by for a year...
without any incidents and peacefully.
My dream is going back...
to my family after retiring honorably.
And with my pension too.
Jin Gab.
You just need to get on board with this.
Okay.
Pension and family.
- Let go of me! - Stop it!
- What are you doing? - Come on!
- You know this isn't fair! - What? How dare you?
- Get out of my way! - Hold on a second.
- What do you think you're doing? - Okay, okay.
- This isn't fair! - That's not it, sir.
That's right. Pension and family.
Knowing my place and staying indifferent.
Let's not forget. I can't forfeit my stable job.
Tell your director to come out here!
(Special Labor Inspector Jo Jang-Poong)
(Company Power of Attorney, Name: Woo Do Ha)
I knew it. Didn't I tell you?
I told you that jerk was going to stab us in the back.
I repeatedly told you that we had to fire him.
If you had been decent at your job,
I wouldn't have kept that jerk around you.
You made him work for me. Why are you blaming me?
How dare you yell at me? You did nothing right!
Please don't fight.
I will take good care of Myeongseong while you're away.
Stamp your seal on the power of attorney.
Hey, that's my company. You have no right to take it from me.
Will you keep your position vacant then?
If they gather all of your crimes to give you proper sentencing,
both of you will rot in here more than a decade.
Unbelievable.
Hey.
Do you think I'll be that naive to let you destroy me?
His father is Yang In Tae. Okay?
He's in the running for the next presidential election.
Stop dropping my name.
It's been 20 years since we got a divorce.
You've done enough to mar my good name.
It's about time that you stop it.
Woo Do Ha.
You're switching lanes now, aren't you?
Stamp your seal there.
I tried...
so hard not to bring this up, you know.
Seongang.
Once people find out whose company Seongang is...
What if then?
Whom will they believe? Me or you?
Go ahead, blab, and rot in prison for the rest of your life.
Or stamp your seal.
As soon as the company is stable,
I won't let you spend your later years in prison.
(Company Power of Attorney)
Please go ahead.
Mom.
Tae Soo.
My gosh, what are we going to do?
- Oh, my. - I want to live, Mom!
I hate it here.
Here's the chairman of Myeongseong Group!
Woo Do Ha!
Sir, now that you're here,
which subsidiary should I take over?
Personally, I specialize in money.
If I'm going to take over a company,
I'd rather take over a bank or some financial institution.
Who would use a hunting dog that failed to complete his mission?
- Pardon? - Because you failed...
to build the house properly,
the stocks didn't get properly transferred...
which means I'm in a half-built house.
Well, that was because of Jo Jin Gab.
I filmed with the spy camera...
and did an interview to tell the truth. You can't do this to me.
To tell the truth?
That's not the whole story.
As long as I'm the chairman,
I don't have a spot for a trickster like you at Myeongseong.
Get out.
I thought you were smart because you didn't take after your father.
But you've got no conscience.
You don't even know how your father died.
What was that?
Sir.
Don't fool yourself that you're any different.
You are...
just like Choi Seo Ra and Yang Tae Soo.
I won't go down like this.
I, Koo Dae Gil,
will not go down like this.
Nice to meet you, residents of Guwon! Hello, everyone!
Here's our future fair governor.
Congressman Yang In Tae, the presidential candidate, is here!
Everyone, have some fun! Here's our candidate, Yang In Tae!
- Candidate Number Two Yang In Tae - Hey!
Candidate Number Two Yang In Tae
- Candidate Number Two Yang In Tae - Everyone, who is this man?
That looks fun!
"Fun"? Why is he going there?
Yang In Tae!
Louder, everyone! Show me your energy!
- Candidate Number Two Yang In Tae - Hey!
Candidate Number Two Yang In Tae
- Cheon Duk Gu! - Candidate Number Two Yang In Tae
He is number two, the unpolluted
Yang In Tae
- Duk Gu! Come here! - That's great.
The ladies in the front,
please come on up...
and enjoy this time with us.
Number two, Yang In Tae
He's a clean politician.
He's the unpolluted candidate, Yang In Tae!
Let's go!
I can't believe it.
Why would you dance?
Why not? I just liked the music.
I like him.
Don't you know who his son is?
It's Yang Tae Soo.
Who? What?
How can you run a company with that knowledge of yours?
Yang Tae Soo's dad is Yang In Tae?
This isn't right.
As your secretary, I need to make some big changes.
We need to have a reorganization,
a client service program,
and promote ourselves more professionally.
In order to increase our clients' accessibility,
we should move or remodel this area.
This place is too shabby.
Should I beat her up?
We should quit or throw a coup. Anything.
- Ms. Kim. - My gosh!
What was her name again?
Ms. Oh. Does this company have a slush fund?
Let me go.
We don't. We're transparent and share the profit.
No, no.
Let's have some ice cream, shall we?
Transparent? I thought I was going to get paid a lot.
That little wench...
She's tainting him!
Will this be acknowledged as an overdue wage?
Part-timing at an election campaign?
If you're a part-timer and not a charity,
it's true that it can be acknowledged.
I am a part-timer. Look.
"Easy Part-Time Job, seven dollars per hour,"
"daily wage, basic office assistance".
That's not even the minimum wage.
I thought I'd be doing simple office tasks.
But they told me to call random people,
manage the online comments, and give out flyers.
They even told me to dance in the middle of the street.
I worked 15 hours a day,
but I didn't even get paid from my first day.
But I still held it in.
He's a well-known politician, so I thought he'll pay me.
But when I asked for the money for food, they said...
Hey.
This job you took is like a charity service.
You shouldn't be demanding money like that.
How could a college student not be aware of politics?
What does that have to do with receiving my lunch money?
Also,
do you know how much fine we got...
because you couldn't make the calls properly?
That's because it's illegal to call others regarding campaigning.
Look at you.
Are you saying that what we're doing is illegal?
I can't believe you.
Hey, call the manager.
Darn you.
And then, the manager swore at me and hit my head.
I told them to give me my wage and that I'll quit.
But they refused to give it to me since I was quitting on my own.
I'm so upset.
I thought it'd be more meaningful to take this job of all jobs...
since I respected the politician.
If this is how it's going to be, why bother becoming a politician?
All right.
You can file a petition for violations of the minimum wage...
and delayed wage.
- Wait a minute. - What's wrong?
Don't worry. Just wait a minute.
- What is it? - Let's go.
What's wrong?
Have you gone insane? Why would you meddle in politics?
Why does it matter? They violated her labor rights,
- so I should... - Director Ha.
Why? Why would you call for him?
Let's set a good example for the youth.
Is that important right now?
Because of you, we might all get fired.
Mr. Hwang is right.
Be smart. If you really want to help, do this.
Visit them, claiming to be her uncle.
If you show them your ID,
they'll give you that money. Do you know why?
Because politicians make money off of their reputation.
Forget about formalities.
You're telling me to be cheap?
No, thanks.
Hey.
Who's refusing to pay my niece?
What gives you the right to barge in here...
and cause a ruckus?
Me?
I'm Yu Jung's uncle.
Oh, dear.
My goodness.
I dropped my ID.
"Labor inspector"?
Yes, that's me.
But I'm not here because of that.
Why aren't you paying her?
My niece came to me crying.
My sister-in-law is infuriated!
My goodness! What a pleasant surprise!
You're everywhere, aren't you?
That's what I'd like to say.
Who are you?
Me?
I'm a phoenix.
You know very well how loyal I was back at Seongang Corporation.
I told absolutely no one...
about the explosion 10 years ago.
Even Woo Do Ha doesn't know.
Sir.
I have a family to take care of.
If you let me work for you,
I'll do anything you ask me to do.
Don't be ridiculous.
"Phoenix"? You should be called a zombie instead.
Then what? Are you a tiger moth?
You're always dying to get in the middle of problems.
Forget it.
Pay her for her part-time services.
What part-time services?
They're all charity workers.
Don't you know charity? Charity.
Charity, my foot.
I saw the advertisement online.
That?
She didn't apply through that.
Hey, do you have an employment contract?
A verbal contract is also a contract.
Verbal contract, my foot.
I've never signed a contract with you.
You never change, do you?
Give me the money before I conduct...
an official labor inspection.
Hey, we're in the politics' realm.
This is where the leaders of our country are created.
A civil servant like you won't get away with meddling in this.
Have you forgotten already?
I'm like a dog who never lets go once it bites down on something.
Spare the biting,
- and give me the money! - Hey.
What if I won't?
Shall we have a fight?
Should I tell the entire world about how a civil servant...
barged into a campaign office...
and caused a scene?
It's all right, my niece.
I need to see the candidate!
He plans to change this world,
yet fails to pay a girl for her services.
Let's see if that's plausible.
Tell your candidate to come out now!
I'm here.
- Hello, sir! - Hello, sir!
Sorry for this ruckus, sir.
I'm from MOEL Guwon Branch.
I know.
You're Labor Inspector Jo Jin Gab, right?
You're the one who gave...
my darn son and my ex-wife a wake-up call.
Choi Seo Ra is my ex-wife,
and Yang Tae Soo is my foolish son.
Thanks to civil servants like you,
I have high hopes for this country's future.
Thank you, sir.
Applaud.
You be quiet.
He's a good man.
Is that why he divorced her?
No way.
I can't believe I received my wage this easily.
Let me treat you to a meal with this.
- Let's go, Uncle. - Hey.
You shouldn't spend so recklessly.
- It's my treat. Follow me. - Awesome!
I wish you were really my uncle.
He's like a tiger moth.
Should I spray some insect repellent?
You shouldn't have let this happen from the start.
Let's go by the rules.
Yes, sir.
Goodbye, sir.
It's foolish of you to think that such a threat will work on me.
That's why you're incompetent.
I have the CCTV footage of Lee Chang Kyu.
I'll also take this to my grave.
I'll forever be loyal to you for saving me.
Please just help me out, sir.
He's doomed to fail.
Bring me what he has so that I can get rid of them.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Park, it's me.
- Is everything all right there? - Of course, sir.
The labor inspection is almost done. Everything is fine.
Don't let anyone enter the restroom.
My future depends on it.
Don't worry, sir.
That inspector is very kind.
He won't dig into things.
Yes, sir. Don't you worry.
I'll protect it well.
Goodbye, sir.

This is an one-day operator Yang In Tae of MOEL.
- Who? - Yang In Tae.
I'm number two, the unpolluted Yang In Tae.
If you're him, I'm Sejong the Great!
Sir, it's been over an hour.
- We should go. - Don't be ridiculous.
I should also be open to the people's criticism.
This is an one-day operator Yang In Tae of MOEL.
"Yang In Tae"?
Are you joking around with me?
No, sir.
I am Yang In Tae.
Oh, is that so?
Yes, sir.
What kinds of difficulties are you facing at work?
You idiot scumbag!
Do you have to ask?
Because your wife and son were on a power trip...
and rigged the stocks,
I lost half of my investment with the stocks, you jerk.
The people are struggling so much to get jobs.
But look at you. You've taken some other counselor's spot.
What are you doing? Do you think we're idiots?
You think you can just use us for your campaigns?
You're a despicable animal.
I'm already upset as is!
How dare you make a prank call?
(Ministry of Employment and Labor Customer Service Center)
- What's going on? - What's this about?
It just shows you how angry the people are.
I'll gladly be the punching bag.
- Yang In Tae! - Yang In Tae!
(Yang In Tae Verbally Abused by a Laborer)
(Labor Inspector Jo Jin Gab)
Hey, Yu Jung!
Mr. Jo.
What's wrong?
Apparently,
I committed election offense.
I was paid with illegal election campaign fund,
so I have to pay a fine,
and I'll get a criminal record.
They'll even take away my right to vote.
Who said such nonsense?
Those in the election commission.
This makes no sense.
How could a part-timer's payment be illegal election campaign fund?
The campaign office should've registered her.
It's illegal to accept money without being registered.
Then the campaign office made a mistake.
You can take it up with them.
We have to follow the rules.
She's just a part-timer.
Hello?
Koo Dae Gil.
Hey, Duk Gu. It's me. I'm sorry,
but can you find out Koo Dae Gil's whereabouts?
Koo Dae Gil? For what?
Hey, that hurt!
Hey, get back here. Ouch!
Ms. Oh, tell Mr. Jo where Koo Dae Gil is now.
- You're so dead! - Hold on.
Hey, come here.
I should just quit.
Yes, I've already written my letter of resignation.
I caught you!
- What? - What?
Shoot.
Shoot them!
What's going on?
I located him, Mr. Jo.
Ms. Oh.
Where is Koo Dae Gil now?
Oh, that one. He's pretty good. The one next to him too.
Hey, you.
This one is good too.
Hey! Turn around and look at me.
No, he's no good.
Look at that face.
Goodness, what an ugly face.
Hey! Stop. Come here.
My, you're handsome. You have a likeable face.
Come to the campaign office tomorrow.
I don't want to be part of an election campaign.
Your opinion doesn't matter.
Just do as you're told.
I have to fix the precipitator by tomorrow.
Hey, fixing that thing is no big deal.
This factory will operate just fine without you.
Just come to the campaign office, okay?
Write it down.
Gosh! I told you to do it over there.
It's dusty over here.
Static electricity is the most dangerous thing at factories.
If you aren't careful, it can lead to an explosion in a flash!
Hey, Mr. Jo Jin Chul.
You used to carry cans under me.
Look at you talking like you know everything.
Why don't you quit and get your doctorate degree?
Why do you still work here like a loser?
Gosh, what are you going to do with that glare? Will you hit me?
Then hit me.
Punch me as hard as you want and get fired.
Punch me!
Here, go ahead. I said, punch me.
I'd love to get hospitalized so that I can get some rest.
Oh, Jin Gab.
What are you doing here?
Dad.
I'm here for work. I have some questions for him.
You should get back to work.
Okay.
Is he your son?
- What? - He's a civil servant, right?
- Hey, Koo Dae Gil. - Darn it.
What?
What's an election campaign manager doing at this factory?
I'm here to listen to the people. A public opinion survey. Got it?
And you had to harass the factory employees like that?
Gosh, forget it. What do you want from me?
You didn't register that girl, Kim Yu Jung,
on purpose, didn't you?
That's right. It was done on purpose. What will you do about it?
If you want to complain, take it up with the election commission.
I'm a busy man.
Wait, you!
What is that you're hiding?
It's none of your business!
Goodness, what is this?
(Resume)
What?
(Resume)
Are you taking these factory employees...
to the campaign office?
I don't know. I don't know anything.
(Hazardous Material Storage Area, Flammable)
(Authorized Personnel Only)
He's been working in this environment?
The factory needs to be shut down immediately.
It's very dangerous as they're not following the safety standards.
And they're even taking employees to the election campaign office.
Seongang is taking care of all the expenses, of course.
The working conditions were poor to begin with.
But they've been extorting money and even workers from the factory,
so it's gotten to a point where accidents can happen any minute.
Not Seongang thought. Don't bother them.
Sir.
If an explosion takes place...
I've made it clear to you.
Don't do it.
Explosion, my foot.
To us, you're like a ticking bomb.
Do all of us have to go down with you?
You're acting up when you don't even know what's going on.
Gosh.
I understand you're angry because your father works there,
but don't bother Seongang.
No, it's not because of my father.
They handle organic materials.
If an accident takes place, the employees...
as well as all residents in the area will be put in danger. Please?
You really don't know?
The real owner of Seongang...
is Yang In Tae.
Most people in the industry know about it.
The employees are being used in the campaign, so it's obvious.
He'll run for president in the future.
And it's almost confirmed he'll be elected as our provincial governor.
You really shouldn't do it.
The real owner of the company is Yang In Tae?
Hello, sir.
Why is the factory such a mess?
I apologize, sir. We plan to clean the factory tomorrow...
My press conference is the day after tomorrow. Get your act together.
And where's the yearly report?
Right, I've been working on it,
but because of the campaign...
You're the president of the company.
What about the preparation?
Oh, that. It's all taken care of, sir.
- Open it. - Yes, sir. Hey, open it.
You need to quit immediately.
Why do you keep saying that I have to quit my job?
Are you belittling my job because I work at a factory?
No, it's not that.
That place is just too dangerous.
Even if there's an accident tomorrow, it won't be strange...
Exactly.
That is why I have to be there.
I must get my job done...
to make sure the factory can operate without any accidents.
You don't even know anything.
Just you working hard won't resolve this issue.
The entire factory is a complete mess.
Will you leave your country if it's a mess?
Will you leave your family if it's a mess?
You must stay where you are and do your best at such times.
Dad.
The factory won't operate without me.
- Gosh. - Stop spewing nonsense, you punk.
That's about it for me.
What about you? How many girls have you dated?
Me?
Let's see. Mi Ja, Suk Ja, Young Ja, Mi Young, Suk Hee,
Young Hee and...
Well, anyway. I dumped all of them.
Work is my priority, you know.
- Let's break up. - What?
Gosh, you're such a womanizer.
Well, you said you've dated seven guys yourself.
Still, how could you tell me all of that? And in my case...
I was dumped by all of them.
Okay, then... I promise I'll never do that to you.
You can dump me if we ever break up.
Once something becomes mine, I never throw it away.
Give me your hand.
Good boy.
All right, moving on.
The five things that women see when choosing the right guy.
You remember them, right? Tell me what they are.
Well... Personality.
That's a given.
Looks. Well, that's...
And as you can see, I'm wealthy enough.
But I'm not well-educated.
That's not important.
When I used to work at Myeongseong, I saw...
that many smart guys are jerks.
- Right? - Yes.
What's next?
Oh, the next one is...
Being sexy?
I'm confident on that front.
I'm confident too.
Hey, wait.
Why are you here this late? You didn't even call.
I'm sorry. I'll come back another time.
Gosh, why would you come back another time?
You're already here. Come on in.
I'm sorry, Mr. Jo.
It's not just anyone.
It's the factory your father works at.
Okay.
Okay, I understand.
Mr. Jo. Hold on.
I'm leaving.
Mr. Jo.
Did you have to say that? This has to do with his father!
Until when will you take on these petty cases?
You're the boss.
Shouldn't you think about your employees?
They like helping out Mr. Jo.
But I don't.
You said you'd give me a big salary,
more than when I worked for Myeongseong.
Mal Sook. You...
You're more selfish than I thought.
I guess we rushed into this without knowing one another.
I'm scared.
I'm scared that something might happen to you.
Yang In Tae...
is different from Choi Seo Ra or Yang Tae Soo.
He's really scary.
Did you know that the supplies...
you provided us with didn't meet the safety standards?
That was because...
your company lowered the unit prices for the supplies.
We couldn't handle the cost of the materials.
And you didn't pay your employees either.
It was because your company didn't pay for the supplies.
Sir.
You used all of the company funds to buy...
TS Technologies' stocks.
I did that...
because I was trying to save my company.
I didn't know I'd lose money.
Was that it?
Is that why you said these things because you were spiteful?
Do you have to ask?
Because your wife and son were on a power trip...
and rigged the stocks,
I lost half of my investment with the stocks, you jerk.
I'm sorry!
I won't ever do that again.
Please help me.
Please spare me, Congressman Yang.
Did you really hate me that much?
No. Never!
I respect you!
You cannot lie.
You must hate me, don't you?
No. No...
You hate me, right?
Don't you want to kill all those politicians?
Answer truthfully!
Yes!
Yes, yes.
I hate them.
If you hate me, don't badmouth me behind my back.
Do it in front of me.
In front of everyone when they are watching.
All right. Attention, everyone!

- Yes! - Yes!

100 employees work at the factory.
Since the factory handles organic compounds,
toxic gas will spread within a 10km radius if it explodes.
You'll get it if you read this. This is class one carcinogen.
I told you that you can't go after Seongang.
Why not?
Because it's Yang In Tae's company?
You have a knack for putting people on the spot.
Let's say you're right.
How will you prove that?
Okay, let's say that you did prove it.
How will you stop him?
Let's say that you did.
Who will face the consequence?
The prosecutor right here will be facing it.
We take responsibility together.
The prosecutor, you, and me. We all take responsibility.
"We"?
Did you just say, "we"?
There's no "we" in this world.
The world would look very different if "we" existed.
When a ship sinks,
people run away to save themselves. That's human nature.
We've already learned the lesson. The ship has already sunk.
Some people weren't like that there.
Yes, there were a few.
But what happened to them now?
- Do Ha. - Don't take this further.
Please don't take this further now.
If you do, I don't know what I'll do.
Let's go.
Goodness.
What did I get myself into on the last day of my inspection?
My goodness.
This is what it feels like to die under a pile of work.
My goodness, what a life I have here.
What's this?
Father's factory?
Yes.
Anyway, I have to make him quit,
but you know how stubborn he is.
Of course.
It's him whom you take after, honey.
What?
- What? - Okay.
"Honey".
Hey, Dong Young.
Jin Gab.
So... So I think I saw something.
Can you come here right now?
Gosh, he was still here.
I don't know for sure.
But it looks like...
Congressman Yang.
Okay, I'll go there.
I'm scared, so hurry up, okay?
Was that Dong Young?
Yes. I think something came up.
You should hurry then.
I'm sorry, but I should go.
- I'll call you. - Okay.
What? Hey.
Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?
I just found out, sir.
But why was Congressman Yang there?
Don't let him leave until I get there.
If he leaves, you're dead.
All right.
Calm down, Dong Young.
Be on alert until Jin Gab comes.
It's my life insurance.
My life insurance.
I must not let them get it.
(Myeongseong Constructions, Koo Dae Gil)
Koo Dae Gil is on his way to get the footage.
I'm sure he is.
Get it.
But I think a labor inspector is involved.
Why?
I'm not sure, sir.
Thankfully, I don't think it's that man, Jo Jin Gab.
Turn the car around.
Be calm. He'll be here soon.
Let's just relax until he comes.
Why are you so startled, sir?
It's me, Yang In Tae.
- Don't you know me? - Yes. Hello.
Goodness, you look very shook up.
You're breaking out in a cold sweat.
(MOEL, Lee Dong Young)
Come here right now.
Wait!
Sir. No, hold on.
Hey! I told you to grab onto him!
Sir, I was just...
Stop right there!
That darn jerk!
(Field Office)
I was wondering who it was.
What brings you here, sir?
(MOEL, Lee Dong Young)
Go.
Hey!
Come here, you punk.
Come here!
You idiot.
Come here.
Dong Young!
Answer me!
Dong Young?
Dong Young!
What?
Is he dead?
It wasn't me, okay?
Let me save myself first.
Let me live.
Dong Young.
Dong Young!
Dong Young. Are you okay? Open your eyes!
Dong Young!
Open your eyes!
What has happened?
What is this?
What happened?
The surgery went well.
He received many stitches.
But they said he'll be fine, so don't worry.
Thank you, all the deities of this world.
What kind of situation is this?
Honey.
What happened?
I spoke with him on the phone a few hours ago.
He said he'd be done with work soon...
and asked what I wanted to eat.
So why...
Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Fortunately,
he will be fine.
As his director, I am terribly sorry for this incident.
I'll take full responsibility...
and investigate thoroughly.
I am truly sorry.
I don't know anything, sir.
I was told to guard this place, so I did just that.
Where's Labor Inspector Lee Dong Young's ID?
I don't know, sir. I didn't witness anything.
I just followed orders.
Until when will you do everything that you're ordered to do?
Don't you know it could've happened to you as well?
Who took it?
Who took his ID?
The congressman did.
Congressman Yang In Tae.
Are you refusing to hand it over?
I was abandoned...
by both Choi Seo Ra and Woo Do Ha.
I am neither smart nor skilled.
The only thing I can do is swear my loyalty.
But they all discarded me when I became of no use to them.
I'm just doing this because I don't want to be abandoned, sir.
I'll take the footage of Lee Chang Kyu to my grave.
If you keep me by your side,
I will be loyal to you forever.
Please trust me, sir.
Who are you?
I'm here to retrieve my coworker's ID.
You're not authorized to enter.
Forget about that.
Your congressman stole...
my coworker's ID, so I'm here to get it back.
Send him away.
We could've easily talked it out.
Didn't you think I'd punch you back?
A civil servant shouldn't act that way.
You've violated your decency act as a civil servant.
Then call the police.
Someone who has violated the law should be punished.
In the presence of the police,
let's find out which one of us has committed more violations.
Jo Jin Gab, you punk.
How dare you talk like that?
Let us talk. I will listen to you.
Please hand over...
Labor Inspector Lee Dong Young's ID.
"ID"?
I've never heard of that name before.
I'm talking about the ID that was left...
at Myeongseong Constructions' construction site.
The one you took.
"Construction site"?
I've never visited one.
We ran into each other.
You must've gotten the wrong person.
I was here all day.
They can back me up.
You must've been hallucinating.
"Hallucinating"?
Yes, exactly.
I can turn you into a lunatic in the blink of an eye.
I hope you go home safely, sir.
Don't be so polite.
I don't need to be addressed so politely by people like you.
But I do think...
you need to be taught a lesson.
Even if you're an adult, you should be punished...
for lying, threatening, and toying with people's lives.
Aren't I right?
Keep my coworker's ID safe.
I'll come back for it.
He's a total lunatic.
Shall I spray him down?
No, don't.
Aggravating lunatics only makes them crazier.
Then what should we do?
Those of us who are sane must teach him a lesson...
on what the world is really like.
How could something like this happen?
A labor inspector got attacked while on duty.
How are we supposed to work now with all this anxiety?
Did we become civil servants to get attacked?
We should send out a press release and deal with it head-on.
We'll be humiliating ourselves if we send out a press release.
Sir.
Let's catch this guy.
We must catch him, whoever he is.
Contact the police for help.
They won't cooperate.
Without evidence, that is.
The person behind Dong Young's accident...
is Congressman Yang In Tae.
Jin Gab.
This isn't time for jokes.
Dong Young called me right before the accident took place.
He said he found some weird security footage at the construction site...
and that he thinks Yang In Tae is in it.
And when I got to the site, Congressman Yang was there.
Dong Young was collapsed on the floor, and the footage was gone.
Yes, sir.
During election campaigns,
we should be extremely careful and cautious.
Exercise extra care to make sure people don't say...
that we're targeting them.
Yes. Understood, sir.
You said in the past...
that one must attack when there's no way out.
One of us got hurt.
We must launch an attack on Yang In Tae.
Everything you said is speculation.
- Sir. - Let the police handle it.
Even we're afraid to take it on. Do you think the police will do it?
That's their problem.
Dong Young worked here for six years.
Is there anyone...
who has never received any help from Dong Young?
Mr. Hwang.
The Myeongseong Hospital accounting case.
Dong Young took care of the whole thing for you, didn't he?
Mr. Choi, when you fainted from being overworked,
he did everything for the Daesung case.
Sir, he did all the year-end checks for the accounting records...
Don't approach this emotionally.
Try to be rational, please.
We work for the Ministry of Labor.
An assault case...
isn't under our jurisdiction.
He's a smart man, so I'm sure he got the message.
And our ministry oversees a lot of things,
so we're struggling with a budget shortage. Please help us out.
Yes, of course.
It'd be great if the foundation could provide support.
It'll be very helpful to workers' welfare.
Of course, sir.
The foundation exists to provide such support.
Prosecutor Kim, please take good care of the matter.
Yes. No problem, sir.
All right, let's go grab some food now. How about gomtang?
It sounds great.
(Flammable)
- Candidate No. 2, Yang In Tae. - No. 2, Clean Yang In Tae.
- Vote for No. 2. - Yang In Tae is No. 2.
- Take this. - Yang In Tae!
- No. 2. Remember, okay? - No. 2, Clean Yang In Tae.
No. Two, Clean Yang In Tae.
Hey, "No more workplace harassment" for you.
Ms. Lee, do we have to do this?
We're busy with our tasks.
Gosh, I said you'd get paid separately for this.
Candidate No. Two, Clean Yang In Tae.
Gosh, just pay us our regular salary on time.
Yang In Tae. Okay? Clean Yang In Tae.
I have to get back quickly to fix the machine.
If we leave it like that, there will be an accident.
Do it after we're done here. Listen to me, I'm the president. Go!
"No more workplace harassment".
If anything happens, it'll be all on me.
- It's No. 2. - No, 2, Clean Yang In Tae.
- Do it at the right time. - No. Two, Yang In Tae, okay?
And don't go overboard.
When it's a little quiet,
just go all out. You know the drill.
We're experts in this.
Yes, I can see that.
- Number Two! - "No more workplace harassment".
You have the most important job. You got this, right?
But the thing is...
I can't even kill a cockroach.
- I can't even kill an ant. - "Number Two Yang In Tae". Okay?
What can you do? You have a family to support.
It's your golden ticket to a comfortable life.
Let's be brave, okay?
Just smash it. Like this!
Hey, hurry.
You can do it.
All right? That's what you'll say.
I...
was born into a poor family that had a laundromat.
This small, shabby factory...
is where I had my first job.
This factory is like my beginning and end.
Why do I say that?
It's because I met the woman whom all of you know,
who's known for her abusive behaviors, right here.
Then we got married and eventually got a divorce as you know.
- Well done! - Well done!
You made the right choice!
He divorced her after 20 years, so it doesn't even matter!
Some people say...
that she is the biggest flaw in my career as a politician...
and that she is to blame in regard to my approval rating dropping,
but I do not think so.
In fact, she is...
the greatest teacher that I've had.
"When you live like that, you must pay for what you've done."
"All the abuse and harassment come back to you!"
"This is the power of the people!"
If I'm elected as provincial governor,
I will make the Choi Seo Ra Act...
in order to teach the likes of her a serious lesson!
- Yes! - Yes!
Yang In Tae!
- Yang In Tae! - If you vote for me...
- Yang In Tae! - Yang In Tae!
I won't let you down!
- Yang In Tae! - Yang In Tae!
- Yang In Tae! - Sir, you seem drunk.
- Yang In Tae! - Sir, please wait over there.
- Yang In Tae! - Yang In Tae!
- Yang In Tae! - I'm from MOEL Guwon Branch!
- Yang In Tae! - Yang In Tae!
Who's the president of the company? Raise your hand.
Oh, it's me.
The president of the company is standing up there.
Wait! This guy is my brother!
He's not all there.
Hey, I told you to stay home. What are you doing here?
Let go while I'm still being nice. This is obstruction of justice.
Yes, he studied for the civil service exam for too long...
that he's gone mad.
Let's go. You need your pills.
- Hey, come on. - Gosh.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
Hey, you punk. What is the matter with you?
You're the president of Seongang, Mr. Yang In Tae, right?
If you spread such false information without any evidence,
you can be put behind bars for defamation.
Evidence...
will come out once we start our investigation, so don't worry.
Who are you to dare to investigate me?
Me?
The special labor inspector...
assigned to Seongang Corporation.
We work for the Ministry of Labor.
An assault case isn't under our jurisdiction.
As for Mr. Lee Dong Young's assault case,
we'll let the police handle it.
And from now on,
we'll put our honor as labor inspectors on the line...
and carry out a special labor inspection on Seongang,
whose work environment is highly susceptible to workplace accidents.
Yes, sir!
How dare they assault the baby of our team?
Let's show them what happens when we do a special inspection.
How many of us should be assigned to this?
All of you. If we lose, we'll all go down.
We must win this.
They can't fire us,
so let's fight with all our might!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
(Ministry of Employment and Labor Guwon Branch)
I'm sorry about this, Mr. Congressman.
I'm the director of the MOEL's Guwon Branch, Ha Ji Man.
Director Ha.
You're a mere civil servant. How could you disobey the minister?
According to Article 106 of the Labor Standards Act,
the authority of the Minister of Employment and Labor...
can be partially delegated to any branch director...
as per the president's order.
All right. An explosion can take place...
at this factory any minute,
so please leave immediately for your own safety.
- Please leave! - Seriously?
- Gosh, what's going on? - Let's go!
What is happening?
We will thoroughly inspect any parts of the factory...
where accidents can occur.
Let's get this inspection started!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
- What's going on? - Goodness.
- Darn it. - Let's go.
Hurry! Come on.
Hurry up and move the ledgers in the supply storage.
Yes, sir. Guys, come on!
- Hurry! - Let's go.
(Clean Yang In Tae, For Cleaner Society)
Hurry. Quickly. We don't have time!
Hey, open up!
Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Maggot.
You're from the detective agency.
How did you know I was here?
Ko Mal Sook?
Long time no see, Mr. Koo.
Are you two a thing?
Yang In Tae is different from Choi Seo Ra or Yang Tae Soo.
He's really scary.
Mal Sook.
Listen carefully.
If we get scared, it means we lost.
Don't let anyone scare you.
You have me.
Let me go talk to Mr. Jo.
If you're going after Seongang,
you need to raid the supply storage.
Duk Gu.
I'm betting my life on you.
Mal Sook, don't you know the congressman?
Do you think you can survive this after betraying him?
Mr. Koo.
I'm not with you people anymore.
Don't you dare talk to me like that, jerk.
"Jerk"?
You must've lost your marbles.
Hey, get them!
Darn it.
Move!
Take this.
What's happening?
You can't take...
these company documents without permission.
Put them back now.
Move back. Back.
Hey, Jin Gab.
Just cut me some slack.
I need to make a living too. Come on, man.
You want an easy life and don't care about others. Okay.
But I'm not okay with you stabbing people in their backs...
and getting in my way just so that you can have...
a nice, easy life.
That piece of trash.
Wait for me, the real owner of Seongang Corporation.
I'll go pick you up soon.
(Special Labor Inspector Jo Jang-Poong)
Do you want a piece of advice from this old man?
You must know when to follow through...
if you want to reach the top.
If you can't follow through, you must give back Myeongseong.
I have a plan!
I thought of a great plan for you.
Why must these innocent people pay the price for your greed?
Who's in charge of the safety management?
My goodness, this is too bad.
It's Inspector Jo's father.
It is our judgement...
there's a high chance of industrial accidents at this workplace.
- As a labor inspector, - Good job.
I order you to suspend your operation.
It's not just about Seongang.
All of Yang In Tae's dirty secrets and evidence for them are kept...
in the basement of Sangdo Building.
We have to raid that building.
