(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Seongang's corruption ledgers...
are in Sangdo Building.
What?
I needed the smoking gun.
Decisive evidence to catch Yang In Tae.
They call it a reservoir among themselves.
(Prosecutor General Seok Do Joong, Documents on Bribery)
It's not just for Seongang.
It's like huge storage...
of all the evidence of Yang In Tae's corruption.
(2019 Seongang Future Planning TF)
The underground reservoir of Sangdo Building.
That's where we need to go.
(Civil Servant ID Card, Lee Dong Young)
Where did you drink so much to get drunk like this all alone?
Have some honey water.
Okay, good. Honey water.
The honey water tastes so good.
Let me get this straight.
The underground reservoir is in Sangdo Building.
And that's our smoking fun?
It's smoking pun.
It's smoking gun.
That's right. Our smoking gun.
Mr. Hwang...
didn't betray us.
There was a reservoir!
People usually dump bodies to make sure no one finds out.
A politician, not a thug, has a reservoir?
- Is this the alcohol talking? - You little...
No, he has a point.
Some people said,
"Everything about Yang In Tae leads to the reservoir."
I thought it was just a rumor.
But that reservoir might actually exist.
If it's true, it's a big headache.
Seriously, reservoir? That's so lame.
First off,
we must find out...
where in the basement the reservoir is located.
Probably only Do Ha and Yang In Tae have access to it.
There must be a security system.
We have a lot to do.
What should we start with?
But are you really going to go and search the place?
Of course.
You said you couldn't use illegally obtained evidence without a warrant.
I can't.
So what's your plan? What can you do when you just barge in there?
In judo,
you don't need one full point to win the game.
You can win with half a point.
You can win by referee's punitive declaration.
"An eye for an eye."
"A tooth for a tooth!"
Mr. Jo?
He must be dead.
No, he's alive.
He's sleeping.
He should. He has overworked himself these days.
Get some rest.
- Get a blanket for him. - Just let him be.
A cheap move for a cheap move!
(Special Labor Inspector Jo Jang-Poong)
When it comes to cheap moves, we're professionals.
Let's prepare ourselves for the infiltration into the reservoir.
Let's give it our all!
- Yes, sir! - Let's go!
(Clean Governor, Yang In Tae)
Let's cheer for Congressman Yang In Tae.
You guys are so good!
You're truly the best!
Are you not interested in working with us long-term?
Our schedule's quite full, so we need to check.
Can we see Congressman Yang's schedule?
Schedule, right.
Here we go. Get ready. Get ready.
Get ready!
We've acquired Yang In Tae's campaign schedule.
This Friday, he'll attend a live debate program.
Woo Do Ha will also attend as a consultant.
We've gotten our D-Day.
Have you located the reservoir?
Mr. Baek!
Of course, I have.
- This is Congressman Yang. - Sir!
- Hi. - This is coming off.
Get ready for the next schedule.
- Good luck, sir. - Thanks.
There's an emergency elevator behind the left side...
of the security office. It's usually locked.
The laundry room on the first basement level is the reservoir.
There's a fingerprint identification system that only...
Woo Do Ha and Yang In Tae can use.
A fingerprint identification system?
You do know how to use it, right?
Because I've already gotten them.
You should keep yourself hydrated.
- She's so thoughtful. - I know.
- She's smart. - Yes, she is.
We've copied his fingerprint.
We can easily open the elevator with this.
Because we're...
- professionals. - Professionals.
You guys need to go...
to Hollywood.
These are the individuals who were present at the construction site...
when Lee Dong Young was attacked.
Koo Dae Gil.
Congressman Yang.
It's just you two.
You missed one.
Your ex-husband.
Jo Jin Gab was there too.
The CCTV camera in front of the material storage...
that Lee Dong Young discovered was gone.
Lee Chang Kyu's incident happened in front of that storage.
The camera recorded something it shouldn't have,
so you and Congressman Yang went there to get it removed.
During the process, one of you attacked Lee.
You're quite the writer, aren't you?
Do you have proof?
Why are you glaring at me?
What are you going to do?
Hit me?
Hit me if you want.
If you want to get fired, hit me.
You don't even dare to hit me, yet you're glaring.
My gosh.
You startled me.
Why did you lock the door?
Fine, I might as well get fired.
This job is so stressful.
I can't spend much time with my daughter either.
But before I get fired, I'd like to beat you up.
Wait a minute.
- Come here. - There's...
There's a CCTV camera over there, ma'am.
I don't care.
Soon, your lawyers will be here.
And you'll be released.
It'd be disappointing for me to let you go this easily.
Call the police. No, call Director Nam. Excuse me!
- Come here. - Is anyone out there?
I'm going to get beaten up soon.
I'll beat you up for three hours until your lawyers get here.
No, ma'am. Let's have a rational talk.
Please issue one, ma'am.
I'm here to request for a search and seizure warrant...
for Seongang.
Enough with the warrant.
How could you request a warrant solely based on presumptions?
Can I not? Really?
I know you can issue one for me. Please do so.
Please give me the warrant.
You do know you're acting strange, right?
Am I? Am I strange?
Then before I get even stranger, please issue the warrant.
Get out. Forget about it. Leave.
- Yes, ma'am. - Get out.
Okay. I'll be waiting out here.
Please issue the warrant.
What's his problem?
I knew you'd react like this,
so I've come well-prepared.
Please issue the warrant
- My gosh. - I am asking for
A strong, fresh warrant
Please issue the warrant
I am asking for a strong, fresh warrant
- Please issue the warrant - Please give me the warrant!
- He must've gone insane. - Please issue the warrant
Hurry up!
Gosh, it hurts.
Feel free to call me if you need to investigate...
any further.
Yes, sir.
I can sue you for this, you know.
But since I'm a kindhearted man, I'm letting you go this time, okay?
Thank you for your hard work.
Let me treat you to some warm ox blood rice soup.
Secretary Nam, what do you say?
You look cool.
I feel so reassured.
Gosh, it hurts.
I think you broke my ribs.
Watch out.
I will put you behind bars one day, Koo Dae Gil.
Koo Min Jae.
I've warned you.
You better quit your part-time job.
How dare that punk smirk at me while I'm talking?
Quit this instant!
Let him be.
He needs to go for field training.
Is he in a vocational school? Not general education?
You don't even know what school he goes to.
He needs to gain work experience...
if he wants to get a job right after graduating.
He shouldn't work at a company that makes him work late at night.
It's a violation of the Labor Standards Act.
You have no right to say that when you're barely scraping in money.
Once the election is over, I'll be receiving a hefty sum.
Don't you worry.
What if he doesn't get elected?
Don't jinx it.
You have no knowledge of politics.
He'll get elected for sure.
It's time for his appearance.
Come on! I was watching that!
No wonder you're so stupid. You're only watching those shows.
You should watch politics to become smarter.
Give that to me.
What?
What is it?
Do you want another kid, is that it?
- What's wrong with you? - Come here.
- What's wrong? - Let me help you with that.
- Come here. - My gosh.
("Clean Governor Debate Show")
It's on.
They'll dig into Seongang for sure.
You don't need to answer any negative questions.
You're currently in first place,
so you don't need to look too strict.
I'm great in front of cameras.
Don't worry.
30 seconds before live broadcast!
I'll update you on the public's reaction.
Please check your phone.
This will be his last debate show before the election.
Did the subsidiaries receive the notice?
All the employees are probably in front of their TVs.
This is our chance to turn the tables.
Let's try to come...
- in the indisputable first place. - Yes, sir.
10 seconds before live broadcast!
After 10 seconds, we'll be on-air.
(Sangdo Building)
Copy that.
All right, are you ready?
- Yes, sir. - Let's go.
- All right. - I'm ready.
7, 6,
5, 4,
3, 2, 1. Ready.
Start.
"Current Affairs 77".
"Clean Governor Candidate Policy Debate".
We're coming to you live.
Here with us are three candidates.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Yang In Tae from Hanmaeum Party.
I'm Hong Min Soo from Daehan Party.
I'm an independent candidate, Sim Hyun Sook.
("Clean Governor Candidate Policy Debate")
Today, we will discuss ways to revive the economy.
Hello.
You know me, right?
You're Chairwoman Choi's secretary.
Our chairwoman needs some help.
Could you come with me, please?
You too.
Answer me!
To whom does Seongang belong?
Please stop torturing me.
Seongang is the alimony you received...
after divorcing Choi Seo Ra of Myeongseong!
You're only separated physically.
I know you're still working together!
I'd like to ask you a question.
Am I a puppet of the conglomerates?
I asked you first!
- Who owns Seongang? - You should answer me first!
Am I a puppet of the conglomerates?
You're all like elementary school kids. I'm very disappointed.
I came here today to make sure you two do not get chosen.
I have golden hands
Turn on.
(Sangdo)
To save our economy,
we must take the deep-rooted evils...
and clean them out in a washing machine...
Who's the one that should go into the machine first?
Will you stop cutting me off?
I came here today to make sure...
those two do not get chosen.
Stop cutting me off. This is my time to talk.
If I become the governor,
I will put this country in a washing machine to clean it,
and revitalize the underground economy.
- The underground economy? - The underground?
- He'll revitalize what? - The underground economy?
It's something that I've only heard of.
- What was that? - Is that what he wanted to say?
- What? - What did he say?
It worked!
I can't believe there is such a huge laundry room in the basement.
It must've been a million years since they did laundry.
(Prosecution Record, 1990 to 2000, 2001 to 2010, 2011 to 2019)
So these are cumulative records of Yang In Tae's corruption?
Mr. Jo.
Look.
This is the tapping device found in Choi Seo Ra's hospital room.
I was wondering where it was. It's here.
(Civil Servant ID: Lee Dong Young)
Dong Young's ID was here.
Could this be Mr. Lee Chang Kyu's phone...
It's him!
You must kneel down, apologize to the people, and resign!
I believe these candidates are less than qualified.
Why are you saying we're not qualified?
All right, please calm down, all three of you.
Just share your economic policies.
We will turn off your microphone if you mention something else.
Okay, Congressman Yang. Please begin again.
Yes, I will.
They say, "The busy bee has no time for sorrow."
Our economic situation is currently struggling,
but I, Yang In Tae, a man who rose from a humble family,
will draw the energy from the entire universe...
to make sure I save our economy.
I came to make sure...
that he does not get elected.
If you wish to save the economy,
why can't you disclose the real owner of Seongang?
It's yours!
That is a complete lie, everyone.
My gosh.
Do you really think so?
The people have the right to know!
"Clean up all of Korea, Laundry Machine Yang."
Post that right now as a parody on social media.
Put up the phrase "rose from a humble family"...
on the real-time trending keyword chart...
- and let people write comments. - Yes.
I don't care if it's a comedy. Let's get people to talk.
Are you telling the truth?
Here are the ledgers on Seongang.
He really left it in the laundry machine.
Unbelievable.
There's another security device.
Yang In Tae, that old...
Ms. Oh, there is another passcode. Four digits.
I'll find the four digits.
Try 0721. Yang In Tae's birthday.
- No. - 0418.
The day he got divorced.
- No. - 1127.
- Yang Tae Soo's birthday. - He sent his son to prison. No way.
Do a search on Woo Do Ha.
Woo Do Ha.
One second.
What? How did you do that?
If I become the governor,
I will create a country where women can breathe.
But the most important thing is to stop those two people...
- from getting elected. - Woo Do Ha just left.
Darn it.
We're trapped.
What?
- Take your call outside! - I'm sorry.
Why?
I think there was an alarm for the security.
Hey, stop Woo Do Ha from coming this way.
Yes, I'll try my best.
- Lawyer Woo, may I have a second... - Move aside!
Make sure no one gets in.
Lawyer Woo!
My gosh, this is driving me insane.
What about Woo Do Ha?
He's completely insane.
And he would do anything once he goes crazy. We should stop him.
Oh, no...
Should we just break this?
We have to take all that before we leave.
Those books are the key to catching Yang In Tae.
That's not the problem right now!
Woo Do Ha is headed over here right now.
Gosh, that stubborn man.
Ms. Oh, can't you open this?
I'm working on it.
Will you just come here? That's enough.
We have to take these.
The whole nation will be shaken with this huge scandal,
and these are the proof!
Forget the scandal. We're about to get caught!
I solved it.
It's open. Get out of there.
Mr. Jo, come! It's open!
Go back in there.
Hey, glasses, do you think I can't take...
Get back in there!
Okay.
All right, man.
Give me your phone.
I really can't believe this.
I know you are reckless,
but did you think you could do anything...
with illegally obtained evidence?
Everything that you do is illegal too.
You stay out of this before I put you behind bars.
Call the police.
Then the world will find out about this place...
as well as the owner of Seongang.
Seongang?
My gosh, I really don't get it.
What does that have to do with this?
What will you do after disclosing the owner of Seongang?
The owner has to take responsibility.
An owner isn't someone who only enriches himself.
An owner takes responsibility.
Yang In Tae must take responsibility...
for those who got hurt and passed away in his factory.
They brought it upon themselves.
They were too weak.
They made a mistake.
Why do you keep telling other people to be responsible?
You wanted to tell him to take responsibility.
- April... - That's enough.
On that day when your father got into the accident.
You should have cried, gotten angry, and shouted out.
You should've told him to be responsible...
and take responsibility for doing that to your father.
Instead of doing that, you began to side with him.
That's when everything went wrong.
Let me go to college.
He's the son of the worker who caused the accident.
Let me go to college.
I'll pay you back.
My dad was the one who set the place on fire.
That crazy man...
brought death upon himself.
The world is what makes a man do that.
- That's enough. - You found a wrong person...
to vent out your anger.
I told you to stop.
Why?
Don't you think I can shoot you?
Yes. You can't.
Then you can try to change it first.
If you do, I'll trust you.
Then...
I will try to change too.
Do this with us, Do Ha.
Let's disclose who owns Seongang,
and make him take responsibility.
There are still more people left there.
Come with us.
Do Ha, do this with us.
Get out.
Get out of here!
Let's go.
What will you do?
We have to take those out of there.
What?
Yes, Mr. Hwang.
A seizure and search warrant for Sangdo Building has been issued.
What do you mean?
Prosecutor Kim Ji Ran approved it.
I don't know what Jo Jin Gab did,
but she has issued an emergency warrant.
(Prosecutor Kim Ji Ran)
The person you have dialed is not available.
Please call again.
- Don't I look pale? - No, sir.
- Do I look okay? - Yes, sir.
(How Will They Revitalize the Economy?)
The reservoir has been discovered.
It may be wise to incinerate it now.
Incinerate the reservoir now.
(Seongang)
You can't do that.
Tell the person in charge to come here right away.
Will you make the labor inspectors stand here all night?
If you refuse to cooperate, we will have to push you through.
Labor inspectors are all over the place.
Are you sure they have an emergency warrant?
Prosecutor Kim Ji Ran issued one?
Let's get rid of these first.
I thought you were dating her.
How could she stab you in the back like this?
We have to get these out of here before the morning. Hurry now!
I was just getting to that.
You're right. He brought them outside himself.
Did you plan this knowing how he'd behave?
I told you.
Illegally obtained evidence won't be admitted in court.
But...
if I catch them trying to hide or fabricate evidence red-handed,
I can search and seize without a warrant.
A search and seizure warrant? That's ridiculous.
Seriously. We didn't...
do anything wrong this time.
I think you may have gotten the wrong idea.
I never said that I had a search and seizure warrant.
I'm here for a TI.
Temporary inspection.
Why did you bring all of your inspectors for a simple inspector?
You can say it's for a team-building exercise.
If it's too much, should we go back?
Okay. We'll just go back.
Bye.
Okay, Prosecutor Kim.
Yes, Prosecutor Kim. Yes.
Okay.
Yes, Prosecutor Kim.
I got it. You can call back tomorrow.
Yes.
Let me repeat one more time.
I will not issue a warrant.
(Inspector Jo Moo Kyung)
Are you kidding me right now?
Are you taking turns to suck the life out of me?
Unbelievable.
They are driving me crazy.
Right about now,
Prosecutor Kim is working her head off.
Her phone must be ringing off the hook.
You should have let us in on your secret plan.
When did you come with that plan?
Now, I'm getting better at using my brain.
Should we go search and seize without a warrant now?
(Entrance to the Parking Lot)
Get down. Down!
- He's gone. Start the engine. - Okay.
What? What's wrong with this?
- It won't start? - No.
- Darn it. - What's wrong?
Did you not check on the engine?
I told you this was a piece of junk. I already suggested getting a new...
What's this smell?
You have a plan B, right?
You didn't give me a heads-up.
But what's wrong with this?
Won Gook.
Mr. Jo.
It's over once I burn these down.
(Mongo Chinese Food)
Stop right there, Koo Dae Gil!
Who is that?
Jo Jin Gab...
I knew something was missing.
That leech. Darn it.
(Operation Suspension Order)
(Off Limits, Flammables)
Our factory has been suspended. Can we keep working here?
If they can't make the delivery, they won't pay our salaries.
It was their fault. Why are they refusing to pay us?
You must do well on the field training if you want to get a job.
Understood?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I'm busy. Why does he keep calling?
- Yes. Okay, okay. - Open up. Open up!
Okay, okay.
(Seongang)
- What's going on? Is he coming? - I guess.
(Seongang)
Hey, open up.
Move everything inside.
Burn all of them down.
Hurry. Hurry up!
Hurry inside.
Burn all of them. Burn them all.
Hey, don't open the gate. Did you get that?
If he takes them, all of us are dead.
Go inside now. Don't open the gate, okay?
Burn them all!
(Seongang)
(Argon, Combustible Substance)
(Off Limits, Flammables)
Jo Jin Gab!
Why are we here again?
Open up.
You'll go in over my dead body.
I wasn't going to say this to you.
Will you open up now or after I beat you up?
If you want to go past this gate,
you have to kill me first!
You little...
Gosh, that hurts.
(Seongang)
Jin Gab!
No, don't start the fire!
Stop him.
You jerk.
No!
Run!
Jo Jin Gab is here.
He went inside the factory...
The factory has exploded.
This is breaking news.
There has been an explosion at a paint factory of Seongang...
in Guwon, Hwaseong-ri.
The factory was suspended from...
operating by a labor inspector of MOEL a while ago.
It is speculated that the explosion happened when the workers...
tried to operate during the night in secret.
According to a witness' statement,
Inspector Jo in charge of the case went...
- inside the building in a hurry, - Jin Gab?
but it seems he wasn't able to stop the explosion.
Along with Inspector Jo, there were...
- 20 more factory workers... - Dad?
and Daesung High School students who went for their field training.
Why would you say that? Why would Min Jae be here?
That's nonsense.
I told you earlier...
that he went out for his field training.
Wait...
Why would he get his field training at a factory?
He's a student.
Why would he go to the factory for his field training?
(Emergency Medical Center)
Min Jae. Min Jae.
Min Jae!
Did you see my son?
Min Jae!
Koo Min Jae!
Where are you? Min Jae!
- He's getting treated right now. - I'm looking for my son!
- You can't go in there! - Min Jae!
- Stay back! - Where is my child?

- I need to see my son! - Min Jae!
You're not him.

Everyone, stay back!

Min Jae! Where are...
Darn it.
Min Jae!
Hey, Kwang Hyun!
- Let me go in. - Kwang Hyun.
- Min Jae! - Kwang Hyun!
Min Jae!
Let me go in.
- You can't come in. - My son...
- went to the field training too. - Min Jae!

- Please let me go inside. - Come on.
- Mom! - Where is my child?

- My goodness. - Dad.
Hey, are you all right?
Dad. Dad.
Are you hurt?
Honey!
- What is this? - It's a burn.
It's a burn?
Darn it.
I told you to quit your part-time job.
Darn it.
What a relief.
You're fine, right?
You punk.
Goodness.
- Are you okay? - Yes.

- Jin Gab! - Min Jae!
No...

Please come out of there.
- Mr. Jo! - Let go of me!
Min Jae!
Min...
Min Jae. Are you all right?
Get up. Get up. We must get out of here.
Let's go.
Let's get out of here.
Mr. Jo.
- Mr. Jo. - No, Duk Gu.

Min Jae!
- Mr. Jo. - Jin Gab!
Jin Gab!
No...

No.

Darn you.
- Jin Gab. - Min Jae.
- Hey. - Min Jae.
- Mr. Jo. - Mr. Jo.
- Mr. Jo. - Seriously.
- You... - My gosh.
You're embarrassing me. Stop crying.
Come here, Mr. Jo.
Don't cry.
Mr. Jo.
Hey.
We're lucky we made it out, right?
I know, right?
By the way,
how did you know I'd be there?
When we were stuck with that broken van,
she showed up at the perfect timing.
Your ex-wife, that is.
How did you know where I was?
I told you that I was going to catch him.
- I followed that jerk. - You're okay, right?
Look at this wound on this handsome face.
What should we do?
Dad.
Jin Ah.
- Father. - Dad.
Are you crying, Jin Ah? Why are you crying?
Dad.
I was worried.
I saw the news. I thought you were going to die.
Why would I die? I'm perfectly fine.
Don't cry. Wipe off your tears.
My hands are dirty.
Wipe off your tears.
You're a crybaby, aren't you?
You must've been scared.
Father.
Thank you, Mi Ran.
It's been a week since the explosion at a Seongang factory.
There have been changes regarding the clean governor election.
Candidate Yang In Tae was leading the campaign,
but his stable approval ratings have been broken.
The inspector on the scene was able to handle the explosion quickly,
and fortunately, there were no casualties from the explosion.
People are concerned that the residue of the poisonous gas...
may harm the health of the residents in the vicinity.
The poisonous gas is very dangerous.
Benzene, toluene... ethyl... What was that?
Anyway, these are all group one carcinogen.
Who will take responsibility for the health of the public?
I believe Seongang should take responsibility.
Who owns Seongang?
How are you going to handle this?
Who will take responsibility?
You can't even control the media.
And I'm still paying you for being my advisors?
How will you handle it?
I will not handle it.
What?
You don't have a single share or hold a title at Seongang.
Legally, you have no ties to the factory.
What does it matter to you...
if the factory burns down or a tank explodes?
Seongang is not yours.
Exactly!
Why is everyone so determined to tie me with that company?
Soon, the blind public will vote.
Before that, I must get my ratings up as high as they can go.
Once I win the election, all these rumors will be gone.
We must win.
We're all dead if we lose.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
You're dismissed.
(Let's Clean House!)
How is that going?
Koo Dae Gil is in charge of that.
Call him in.
Hey.
Were you seriously going...
to work part-time instead of asking me for money?
At first, I was going to.
But after working for some time, it was extremely strenuous.
That's when I thought of you.
I'm sorry for acting out, Dad.
Eat up. Have the drumsticks.
Drumsticks are the best part of a chicken.
Do you know why?
Since chickens can't fly,
they run around all day long.
That's how they gain muscle.
It's the same for us, men.
Our legs need to be muscular so we can achieve huge success.
After you get discharged,
let's do squats and cycle together, okay?
Great. Eat up.
Darn it. I should go to work.
Eat. Mom will come soon.
Enjoy.
Goodbye, Dad.
Okay. Thanks.
What?
He's awake.
Nurse...
Could you give me one?
Sure.
Have you been awake all this time?
Then why did you have your eyes closed?
Sometimes, adults like to do that.
It's like when you haven't studied at all,
but know you need to take the exam once you wake up.
Keep eating. You should keep it a secret that I've woken up.
Your son...
was at that factory?
Yes, sir.
He was doing part-timing because of me.
Do you think you can keep doing this?
I should.
I should try even harder than before.
I want to make a lot of money, sir.
I want to become a reliable father and husband!
Thanks to men like you,
our country's future is bright.
This time, I'll assign you to a bigger job.
Thank you, sir!
Hoorah for Yang In Tae!
Can we really trust him, sir?
There are animals that don't run away even when they're unleashed.
It's because they've suffered from extreme hunger before.
They're poor animals that only remember being tied up.
Both Woo Do Ha and he are the same.
He'll do well.
Congressman Yang wants a bigger game,
so let's meet first.
I'll give you the money once this is all done.
Don't you know me?
I'm Koo Dae Gil, the phoenix.
I don't play games that I'll lose in.
"Honesty".
"Freedom".
"Reciprocity".
These committees with wonderful names...
gather together and drink the night away.
And who pays for all of this?
The factory may be reduced to ashes,
but the corporate card is still alive.
It's Seongang's card.
They book a bus for the elderly and take them for a tour.
Afterwards, they drop them off at the pre-election polling booth.
And all the expenses are paid with Seongang's card.
On top of that, all of Myeongseong's subsidiaries,
even the lowest subcontractors, are given tasks.
They "like" everything that has to do with Congressman Yang.
It doesn't matter if they're against it or irritated.
They copy and paste favorable online comments relentlessly.
Part-timing can at least get you some money.
But these people get smidgens.
He abuses the employees as if they're from his party.
This is all unfair laboring.
In order to correct that, they've come up with something.
It's called...
Kingsman.
(Yang In Tae is the best.)
(He should be the president.)
It suits this automated world. It "likes" things automatically.
Copying and pasting comments is no big deal.
These tasks are all possible without one twitch of a finger.
- Kingsman. - What? Who is he?
It's not a person. It's a system.
Just say that it is. It's easier to comprehend.
It's a broker. It's him.
Koo Dae Gil is Kingsman?
No. The one next to him.
Koo Dae Gil has been meeting him often these days.
I looked into him, and he's an illegal broker...
who slithers his way around the candidates.
Everyone who gets caught by him ends up in jail.
Let's get him.
Even if we do, Koo Dae Gil is just going to cut him off.
Wouldn't this be useless?
And that brings us to this topic.
Don't you think...
we could win him over?
No, no.
He never changes.
I think Do Ha is a better...
Come on!
Do Ha is our archenemy.
If he does side with us, I'll eat my hat.
That's not necessary.
Still, Do Ha is close to Yang In Tae and is smart as well.
All the ledgers have turned into ashes.
We need him in order to catch Yang In Tae.
Koo Dae Gil is a phoenix, you know?
Right, he is.
But he's an underling who is deemed disposable.
In any case, Woo Do Ha is a no-go.
I tell you, if he sides with us, I'll eat my hat.
Can you please not eat your hats?
I pick Woo Do Ha.
I want to see him eat his hat.
Then I pick Koo Dae Gil.
My Duk Gu is precious.
That's enough.
- Calm down. - If I say, "hand",
- That's enough. No. - he gives it to me. Hand.
(Lee Dong Young, MOEL)
I'm sorry, Jin Gab.
I'm still afraid.
What are you glaring at?
My gosh.
How dare he glare at me?
You wanted to tell him to take responsibility.
On that day when your father got into the accident,
you should have cried, gotten angry, and shouted out.
You should've told him to be responsible...
and take responsibility for doing that to your father.
Instead of doing that, you began to side with him.
That's when everything went wrong.
I've issued a search and seizure warrant...
for Sangdo's reservoir.
People almost died.
I can't do this any longer.
I can't feign ignorance.
- Ji Ran. - This is all...
that I can do for you.
Let's eat next time...
if you still feel the same way.
(Seongang)
I dedicated 20 years of my life to this factory,
but it only took one day to be destroyed.
I should've listened to Hyung Woo.
I did what I did because of my son.
But now, 10 years later, it almost happened to him.
Lawyer Woo...
Hyung Woo's son...
I pity him terribly.
We need to tell him.
You're right.
(Yang In Tae Kingsman Campaign Strategy Project)
Like so, it'll log in continuously...
and click "like" automatically.
This is amazing.
It's like a ghost.
This is the latest technology. Okay, let's use this.
Let's do it right now.
You can't use Kingsman like that.
- So? - He wants you to pay him...
right now or guarantee it.
That rude scumbag.
How dare a broker order me around?
It's not easy to transfer big money during these campaigns.
- He must be a rookie. - No, sir.
His item is the best.
He says it's a high-risk for him as well,
so he'll only do it if he gets paid in cash...
or if he can receive guarantee.
So...
how about you stop by for a minute, sir?
What do you think?
- Get my car ready. - Yes, sir.
Hello, sir!
We're so honored to have you at our shabby place.
I'm a big fan of yours, sir.
Thank you. I saw that your light was on while passing by,
so I stopped by to check your furniture.
I see. Yes, we have furniture.
Feel free to look around, sir.
He took the bait.
Let's go catch Kingsman.
(I love Congressman Yang.)
(He should become the president!)
This is a terrific item.
Fabricating the public opinion is a piece of cake.
It must be a passerby.
- I came to see the furniture. - Some people stop by thinking...
that this is a furniture factory.
I'll make him go away.
It's his voice. It's Jo Jin Gab.
Will you open the door?
Come here right now. Now!
They're here.
I came to see the furniture.
Aren't going to run the business?
Open the door.
Step aside, Mr. Jo.
There is no use in talking to them.
Really?
Open it!
Goodness, don't worry, Congressman Yang.
We have an emergency exit.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
- Lead the way. - I'm sorry. It's this way.
Goodness, these punks.
Find them.
This way, Congressman Yang.
A good beating...
maketh...
man.
There's Kingsman.
Follow me if you want to.
Son!
Yang In Tae.
You need a good beating.
What's with you? Are you insane?
Yes, I am insane!
If your son almost died,
wouldn't you go insane too?
I'm not a great man either,
but I never touched a child.
You're someone who couldn't even make a living by begging.
I gave you a job and helped you earn money,
yet you dare to betray me?
Do you think you will live after you do this to me?
I said that many times over my life.
I finally get it.
You're asking for a worse beating.
Come on, let me beat you up. After a good beating,
you might become a decent man.
Where are you going, Congressman Yang?
Mr. Jo!
Don't you know that you should follow the hierarchy and procedure?
This is mutiny!
I am Yang In Tae!
A congressman of Korea and a governor!
You aren't a governor yet.
You're talking as if you already got elected.
You won't get elected, Congressman Yang.
How dare...
a grade seven civil servant talk to the congressman like that?
Do you know who I am? You're just a lowly civil servant!
I was wondering why your family all overused their power,
and you were the reason.
As is the king, so are the people.
You crazy idiot.
That's why people like you shouldn't hold high positions.
People can't live down here with a dirty official like you.
It's time to come down...
before I drag you down.
I have less than three days left.
Do you think my supporters who followed me for 13 years...
turn their backs on me over something like that in three days?
People don't change!
The world cannot change in just three days!
People will forget everything once I win.
Once I win the election, everyone will forget that!
You can't continue your campaign to the very end.
Woo Do Ha.
A false declaration of assets.
That can get you disqualified as an election candidate.
Why did you leave out Seongang...
when you reported your assets?
What are you talking about?
You know who Woo Hyung Woo is, don't you?
Who?
Do Ha.
Your father...
did not set the factory on fire.
It wasn't my father?
Hyung Woo was...
the first one to notice that there was something wrong...
with the valve of the mixer.
Once he brought it up,
he got on Chairman Yang In Tae's bad side...
and got fired.
He came to Yang In Tae every single day to protest,
cry, and beg him.
That's when that accident happened.
Where's Manager Koo?
Tell President Yang to come out!
Chairman Yang, come on out!
Goodness, what happened while I was gone? This is bad.
Mr. Woo, what's wrong?
- Don't come near. It's dangerous. - Why?
Go report this. Too much smoke is coming out!
It might blow up!
How bad is it?
Just go and report it.
Yes, okay.
Hey, stop the oxygen.
Yes, I'll do that.
Your father...
tried to stop the accident to the very end.
Oh, this is bad.
Come on.
What is this? No.
We...
all signed a paper...
that said we didn't see anything.
I'm sorry.
We should have told you long ago.
But we stayed silent.
I am sorry.
Woo Hyung Woo, the man who died working for Seongang 10 years ago.
Did he really die...
because of his fault?
Why are you bringing that up right now?
I had hundreds and thousands of employees.
There are dozens of people who still bother me...
saying that they had an industrial accident!
How can I remember all of them?
I let hundreds and thousands make a living.
I pay hundreds and thousands of people to have a life!
Do I have to memorize the names of those 15 people?
And even someone who died a decade ago?
Woo Hyung Woo the plumber...
who died a wrongful death...
because you put false blame on him.
He is my father. Have you forgotten?
This pipe is too old,
so toxic substances are getting leaked out, Chairman Yang.
If something goes wrong and the factory blows up,
all the employees here will die, sir.
Fire him.
Sir!
You have to change this right now.
Woo Hyung Woo?
He set the factory on fire because he got drunk?
What? No, that's not it, Mr. Chairman.
Do you...
want to run a bus company?
- A bus company? - Yes.
You have a great impression.
You seem too good to be just a work leader.
You're a president material.
You have my loyalty, Mr. Chairman!
The real fight begins now.
I'll go before you and wait for you there.
Encourage good and punish evil!
Tae Soo is waiting for you.
You shouldn't be here. I'll make you reunite with your family.
I have to go to prison, right? You should send me there.
I can't do it. Ask another prosecutor.
It'll be a tough fight for three days.
You can't always win.
You have to keep losing in order to win one day.
Woo Do Ha took the evidence and left!
The press, prosecution, and police. Use whatever you can.
I got the arrest warrant too.
Jin Gab, let's make sure we catch Yang In Tae.
Plaintiff's lawyer, you may begin your statement.
I just have to win.
Once I win the election,
everything will get covered up.
Current time, 8:34am.
The autopsy begins.
(A maze left behind by the deceased)
Other than medical examiners,
no one who is alive can set a foot in there.
(Find the trace in there.)
What happened?
