Yeah. Did he say he would do it?
Yeah, that's good. Then tell that Jo Sang Jin
to change the sales numbers for Kukjin Construction in advance.
And don't think about trying anything. I still don't trust you.
Okay.
Your location is seriously... I had such
a difficult time finding you.
Are you Chief Baek Sung Il?
It's our first time meeting in person, right?
I'm Choi Chul Woo.
Episode 15.
Yeah, Jung Do. I think you'll have to come over here.
A customer came to our storage.
Um... wh-what brings you here?
Why did you come here?
You're here.
I thought it was disrespectful to just stay still after receiving a greeting,
and so I came here. I wanted to greet you all.
Goodness, did you come to such a run-down place like this just to greet us?
Do you want a cup of tea?
We have no tea. What about coffee?
No, it's fine.
Since I saw all of your faces
and gave you my greetings, I should leave now.
Continue working. Goodness,
this oldie just wasted your time.
But... how did you know about this place?
How did you know that we were here?
That's the reason you can't beat us.
You don't know what's important.
Are you okay?
He came in without a sound.
I think he saw that.
Ah, what about that? He didn't find out about
the fraud loan for Cha Myeong Soo and Jo Sang Jin, right?
I put that in a safe place over there, so it's fine.
There were files for laundering money?
Kukjin Construction.
They're planning to launder the money to hide their fraud loan?
Since many hands are involved in laundering money,
they switched to a fraud loan.
I didn't hear about that... I'm sorry.
Don't worry. I don't think that they intended to leak it.
They'll throw it at us.
He suddenly became talkative.
Then what are you planning to do now?
Call Prosecutor Park to hook both Myeong Soo and Sang Jin
when they're about to receive a loan from the bank.
Prosecutor Park will take care of everything.
And bring the files that show that they messed with the accounting numbers.
Or how about we get to them before Mr. Cha and Mr. Jo touch the numbers?
If those files that show the account manipulation
are leaked to the public, the company will suffer losses.
Then make sure it doesn't leak.
You need to have the documents in your hand, as insurance.
Insurance?
Yes, insurance.
There is no guarantee that Mayor Chun Gap Soo will be re-elected.
If he isn't re-elected, we won't be able to renovate Maseok-dong.
There's nothing to see there.
We just need to take the money and get out.
Are you saying you'll really go ahead with the fraud loan?
Letting that useless CEO take out the fraudulent loan then sending him to jail
would actually save me money.
Still, that could ruin Kukjin Construction for good.
What's so important about the company? Money is what's important.
It's a useless empty company that just pays its employees on time.
I'm going to kill the company I made. Who'll stop me?
Then what about me?
What can you give me?
Do you want money or power?
Both.
I want both, Chairman.
Then, stick close to me
and bring back this topic four years later.
Even if Mayor Chun is re-elected,
he won't be able to run again as the limit is three terms.
Even if he isn't re-elected, he still won't be able to run again next term.
We have to change our horse.
Yes, Inspector Jung. Yes, yes.
Yes.
A-are you sure?
I just received a call from Inspector Jung, Chairman.
Tell Jung Do to come in.
What are you talking about?
Someone sold Jung Do out?
I used all my connections in the Prosecutor's Office.
When you went back to prison two years ago,
among the files Detective Park had on you,
there was a list of all the people you've scammed
and even the information regarding how you scammed Choi Chul Woo's fake son.
If someone didn't sell you out, how did that
information end up in Detective Park's hands?
So, who was the one that handed that over?
I don't know that either.
How would I know something even the detective in charge of the case doesn't know?
Ah, even Detective Park Hyeong Sik doesn't know?
Chairman Choi Chul Woo's line is covering for him, so no one knows who he or she is.
If that punk from two years ago is still on Chairman Choi's side,
Chairman Choi will know everything you all are about to do.
Let's stop the scam now, Jung Do.
Chairman, what are your thoughts?
Should we stop everything now?
Tell me what your thoughts are first.
Ah... honestly speaking, I...
I shouldn't suspect my people. I did things too.
I betrayed them all first two years ago.
So what are you saying you'll do now? Go or stop?
I'm planning to continue, whether it fails or succeeds.
Alright, go ahead.
Just... keep this one thing in mind:
I don't bet on losing games,
and since you've already dragged me into this, do your best to make this succeed.
Understand?
Yes, I'll keep that in mind.
Then what are you going to do about that spy? Are
you just going to continue the plan with them?
What are you planning to do?
If I tell you, will you listen?
What are you planning to do?
If we've already decided to continue,
we just need to ask them.
Of course, that's your style.
Tell everyone to gather at the storage tomorrow.
- Ah, seriously! - Don't do it!
Hey. Should we play?
Hyung Hak Joo! Hyung Hak Joo! We should play a game of cards sometime.
No way.
He always wants to play.
It's because I'm bored.
Now, the reason I asked all of you to gather is because I have something to tell you.
Be quiet. Quiet down!
Thank you, Madame.
The reason I asked you all to gather here today is because...
someone in here betrayed us.
He or she is who turned in my files to the detectives
two years ago, and while this is just a suspicion,
it's possible that person has informed Choi Chul Woo on everything we're about to do.
If that's the truth... then, it's the end for all of us.
So who is that rotten bastard?
- Huh? - I don't know either,
that's why I'm saying this in front of you all.
I don't know who that person is but keep this one thing in mind...
I was the only one who received the damage two years ago but it's different this time.
If this goes wrong, too many people will be hurt. Well,
it's a given that all of us here will receive the damage.
Sung Hee who's helping us while facing danger,
Da Mi and Ahjussi Woo Sang Chul who are looking up to us for help,
and to continue, everyone who is fighting with their lives
on the line to prevent the renovation of Maseok-dong...
everyone will get hurt if this plan goes awry.
If you did this because you hated me, because you
wanted to get revenge on me, please hold back just this once.
Someone once told me that you shouldn't play around with someone's feelings.
If you play with someone's feelings,
the receiver is hurt and you become lonely.
I can endure becoming lonely, no matter how hard it gets,
but I can't stand other people hurting because
of me anymore.
So, just once... just this once, please hold back.
I beg of you.
I'm finished talking.
Now, we're going to officially start. We're not going
to change plans or anything because of that one person.
We're going to continue as planned with the fraud loan.
There is no Plan B.
We're going to see it to the end with this one.
Is there anyone who wants to say something?
If not, then let's start.
Why did you ask to meet me in a place like this?
There are much nicer cafes.
People found out.
About what?
Everyone found out that there was a spy among us.
Did they find out that you're the spy?
No, I don't think they found out that much.
So what are they going to do? Are they going to change the plan?
They're going to just trust in everyone and
continue. They don't want to suspect each other.
They're not planning to scam that spy?
No, no, it didn't look like it.
Well, that's what I felt.
What about you?
Me?
Director, are you suspecting me right now? Huh?
I came all-Do you even know why I came all the way here?!
If not, then forget it. If you're not, it's fine.
So, when are they going to start the scam?
This is what you asked for.
Good work.
Excuse me, Representative. May I ask where you're planning to use that...
Just meet a nice man and get married.
Hey! Everything's finished.
Yeah, alright. I'll be right there, bye.
Yes, Chairman. They're leaving now.
Alright. I understand.
Then, please take good care of the upcoming election.
Don't worry, Chairman.
Mr. Ma! I'm going to the bank right now with the files.
When will you arrive?
Don't you need to see it in person?
Ah, of course I should go.
Which bank will you go to first?
Ah, there? Yes, I know.
I'll leave right now.
I'll see you later.
Yes, see you later!
- I'll be back. - Yes, call us when you're done.
Okay.
Will this work?
We have to make it work.
It's me. I'm on my way to get a loan right now.
There's still no call from Choi Chul Woo, right?
He hasn't called yet.
If he doesn't, we can just split 50/50 with the bastard who's getting a loan.
The same $5 million, who cares which side we get it from?
Wait a minute. Didn't we agree to take $5 million from both sides and split it 50/50?
I'm working hard but you're being sloppy in your own work.
I'm eating right now so stop talking nonsense
and just call me when you finish.
Hello?
Ah, look at this bastard...
He dropped honorifics and he's becoming rude.
Come in.
Did you call for me?
Yeah.
I have a favor to ask.
Yes, go ahead.
How about quitting your job and joining my campaign?
Pardon?
The election is right ahead and I'm lacking employees.
Investigator Chun, come in and help me.
What? You don't want to?
That... I'm sorry to tell you this,
but do you have to run in the upcoming election?
What are you talking about?
For the last eight years you've been in office, you've seen countless possibilities
but you've also seen countless limitations as well.
Personally, I think that you should let it go and let someone else have a chance...
That limitation you speak of, are you talking about Chairman Choi Chul Woo?
Sung Hee, the Seowon District I dream of,
the Seowon District where its citizens are happy,
that Seowon District starts now.
Seowon City Hall's Mayor Chun Gap Soo without Choi Chul Woo...
you've never seen it before.
I'll show it to you now.
I'll show you what type of mayor your father is.
I'm leaving now.
After you take the information from them, give it to Chairman Choi.
I have to go to Jo Sang Jin's office to clean up.
Yes.
I've transferred the money to your account. Don't attract attention with your spending.
It would be nice if you keep low for the time being and
even better if we don't have to meet again. Understand?
Yes, of course.
Mm, there they come.
There are three. Each worth seven million.
Yeah, Detective. You can get started now.
- Sir! - Oh, welcome.
Hello.
Wow, you made these so well. As expected, Mr. Jo, you're an expert.
Of course. That's what I've done my entire life.
Anyway, if you take these and make around 10 trips to the bank,
both of you can easily get your hands on the money that
you once would have had difficulty getting in a lifetime.
Both of you will live without being envious of any conglomerate. Congratulations!
Don't forget my share, okay?
Goodness, of course!
When someone succeeds, they have to take good care of the people around them.
Let's get going now. We have to make multiple
trips before the bank closes so let's hurry.
Let's go.
Goodness.
Sir, will you emigrate?
I'm not really sure.
I heard Canada is good, Canada!
Ah, hello. All of you are working quite hard.
Who are you?
Escort them.
What?
- Aish, what are you doing?! - Let go of me!
- Hey, what are you all?!
- Let go, you bastard! - What's going on?
- Who are you all?! - Let go, let go of me!
Hey, you bastards! Aren't you going to let go of me?!
- Ahn Tae Wook, how could you do this to me?! - Come on.
Director Ahn, you bastard...
- Tae Wook, just you wait. - Aish, seriously!
Please take good care of them, Prosecutor.
Give this to him.
Yes, proceed to Jo Sang Jin's office.
Who is Kim Joo Hee?
- Yes? - Ms. Kim? We're from Kukjin Construction.
You have something to give to us, don't you?
Does anyone want to say something?
If no one has anything to say, let's get started.
It's me.
I did it.
Why did you do that to me that time? Hmm?
Why did you betray me two years ago?
Restaurant Dami? You think I'm doing this again because
of that restaurant that doesn't even taste good?
You're wrong.
This is all... to get back at you.
To do to you just like you did to me... that's why I decided to do this again.
It was me who gave the money back to Director Ahn two years ago. I did it all.
I cheated you back then. Did you know that, you bastard?
How is it? Do you understand now?
If you betray me, this is what happens.
You bastard.
You bastard! You shouldn't have done that to me, you know?
So did you tell them?
Did you tell them what we're going to do?
How can you do this to us?
Hey, are you human?
Why are you all only being like this to me?
Is it my fault? Is it?!
Jung Do, if he didn't...
Darn it!
I'll just quit. Forget it!
Leave. All of you leave!
Why...?
I'm sorry, Hak Joo.
And thanks... for telling me the truth.
What do you want to do? Let's do it the way you want to.
Ah, this jerk. Are you an idiot?
Darn it!
Let's hurry up so we can eat gukbap (SOUP WITH RICE).
Yes.
Let's quickly finish and eat!
Yes.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Okay. I'll help.
- Hurry up. - Help out.
You bastard, I haven't forgiven you.
When this is over I'm going to kill you.
They know all about the loan scam. I told them.
So we have to change plans.
How?
Instead of a loan fraud, let's do an accounting fraud.
You want us to steal the fabricated sales records and hand it over to the police?
No, we can't do that.
They have a prosecutor working for them.
They'll have spies in every police station.
So... Ja Wang.
Why? Why me?
Using the Internet? Leaking it through the Internet?
Yeah... our country's IT industry is very big, you know.
Ja Wang, Ja Wang. Hurry and scan this an...
Ja Wang, Ja Wang...
I had a tail put on you.
Being stupid can't be helped. You let your emotions take control.
You did it with Mr. Bang. You had a girl follow him around.
Always using the same method...
If two years pass, don't you have to become more creative?
Hurry and give it, I need to give it to the Chairman.
They're on to us!
Get away, you bastard!
Ah! Ah!
Hyung! Hyung Hak Joo!
Hyung! Hyung!
What's wrong? What happened?
Hey!
Leave after cleaning everything up.
Chairman, it's me.
Yes, you did well.
Yes?
Mayor Chun Gap Soo has come.
Mayor Chun?
Why all of a sudden?
Tell him to come in.
Why did you come without notice?
I came to end our relationship.
Ja Wang...
Hyung Hak Joo!
Hyung... oh sh♪t... Hyung Hak Joo!
Hyung Hak Joo, wake up... Hyung Hak Joo!
Hey, what is this?
Call 911, hurry!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hello, is that 911?
What are you saying?
End our relationship?
Did you have heat stroke? It's been very hot lately.
You always thought of me as lower than you, didn't you.
To you, I'm just another idiot.
I'll call you later. Okay.
Acting as if I'm listening, acting as if I'm afraid of
you watching me, acting as if I respect your decisions.
That's how you trained me to be until now.
Two years ago,
Director Ahn was very upset knowing that you cut off the tail.
- Come on. - You all are making a huge mistake right now!
Be quiet and move.
I thought that you were the one that made me like this,
but you're not.
Choi Chul Woo attacked me to cut off the tail.
If you abandon your own people so easily,
this is what happens, Chairman.
By any chance, did you place Director Ahn next to me
with a purpose?
I'm sorry, Chairman.
If this information gets out, the prosecutors will look into Kukjin Construction and...
all of your sources of income will be blocked.
Do you want that to happen?
What do you want?
Disappear from my life.
Yes.
Pardon?
I understand. I'll be right over with Madame.
Yes.
What? What's wrong?
An accident happened.
I'll become a mayor who isn't tempted by money.
I'll become a mayor who refuses to hold hands with the shadows.
I'll become a mayor who only looks towards the citizens, who stands
on the side of the citizens. I'll become that type of mayor!
So disappear from my life,
disappear from Seowon District!
I understand what you're saying.
I understand, but
if you were that type of person,
you shouldn't have come looking for me in the first place.
Money doesn't attract clean people.
Why don't you know yourself?
Since you have my weakness in your hand, I can't negotiate or order you around.
I'll do that...
From your life,
from Seowon District,
I'll disappear.
However, just keep this one thing in mind:
You and I stem from the same root.
The same goes for the recent Maseok-dong renovations.
It doesn't work when either of us do it alone
but when you and I team up...
There will soon come a day when you realize what kind of person you are.
The Maseok-dong renovation is my last act of consideration towards you.
Now, we won't have to meet each other again.
Did you get another sponsor?
The election is right ahead but you're so confident.
I was just wondering if
you now have another source of funding.
Are you finished talking?
What's going to happen?
Pardon?
Will they die? Will they live? What will happen to them?
Ah, it seems you've misunderstood. They're injured, but they're just sleeping right now.
There's no impact on their life at all.
Where did Chief Baek and Jung Do go?
What are you going to do now?
- We're going to plan again. - How?
Do you know the reason why the Chairman supported you until now?
It was because you were as skilled as you were arrogant.
But now, you're
just arrogant in front of me!
That's not it...
You're acting arrogant again. Don't give me any excuses,
just get to the point. What are you going to do?
How will you knock Chairman Choi over?
I don't know if it's okay for me to interfere,
but for the past two years while I've been waiting for Jung Do,
there's something I always told myself:
Don't get tired.
Don't get tired, and endure. When Jung Do comes out, we can have a proper fight.
Let's not fight to win but let's fight until we win.
We barely threw one punch.
We have to continue to attack until those bastards fall down.
Kim Jeon Moo, it's possible
that they weren't worthy enough to be his opponent from the beginning.
Choi Chul Woo is quite something.
What are you planning to do now, Chairman?
Tell that Detective Sa Jae Sung I want to see him.
Next. According to the public survey,
Mayor Chun Gap Soo and Woo Soo Myeong are
leading the polls.
These two are giving everything to battle it out.
Mayor Chun Gap Soo has 21.5 percent,
and Woo Soo Myeong has 21.1 percent.
There is only a 0.4 percent difference between...
I wonder if I'm just wasting your time when you're already busy enough.
No, it's fine. What do you want?
I took care of Kukjin Construction, Mayor.
Why?
Well, I came into this mess to clean up the relationship between you and the Chairman.
There's no need for me to remain there anymore. Everything is cleaned up.
I need to find my way to survive now.
I want to become Seowon District's Vice-Mayor, Mayor.
I'll assist you, right next to you until the end.
I'll risk my life for you and Seowon District.
Frankly speaking, our current Vice-Mayor doesn't
do anything and just lies around all day.
You're a smart person.
Why are you suddenly trying to do such a foolish thing?
I'm not smart.
Because I'm not smart and am foolish, I've done all of your dirty deeds.
Your words are harsh.
What kind of people of you've worked with, what you worked on with them,
and how you finished everything,
there is no one who knows all of those things better than I.
You need someone who accurately knows you next to you
to win this upcoming election.
It's a tight race between you and Woo Soo Myeong.
Are you threatening me right now?
I'm making a request. I'm begging you to save me.
If I find that my life is too difficult and decide
to meet Chairman Choi Chul Woo, what would happen?
Mayor, that's not what you want, right?
Chairman Choi Chul Woo still doesn't know the
full details of what happened eight years ago.
Should I go and tell him?
Should I tell him what you and President Bang did eight years ago?
Ahn Tae Wook!
Mind your manners.
If it's a tight race against you,
this election's winner will be chosen on money.
Since Chairman Choi's funding has halted, how will you manage this on your own?
And Maseok-dong's renovations, why did you give that to Choi Chul Woo?
A beautiful goodbye...
do you think those things still exist today, Mayor?
Chairman Kim Chang Soo of Sangjin Group who just recently got involved...
I think you planned to trust him completely and cleanly get rid of Chairman Choi,
but that's friendship, not politics.
You have to tightly hold onto the Maseok-dong renovations
in your hand and do a different type of politics.
Frankly speaking, you
don't know what kind of person Kim Chang Soo is.
What do you mean?
Chairman Kim Chang Soo of Sangjin Group.
That's why you need me.
Then, shall I listen?
What's worth $5 million?
Yes, Mayor.
Did you know that Chairman Kim Chang Soo was supporting that con artist?
Yeah, never mind.
Knowing or not knowing is not what's important right now.
Director Ahn is meeting Chairman Kim Chang Soo right now.
You're a business man, too.
Stop wasting time with that con artist gangster and join hands with us.
How did you find out?
Madame Noh?
I looked into how someone as powerful as her became wrapped up in this mess.
As I followed the ladder,
you came out.
Are you telling me to
betray Jung Do right now?
Yes, of course.
The fact that someone like you is associating yourself with a con
artist like him just because you spent some time in prison together...
that's not right. You have prestige.
- And if I refuse? - The rights to Maseok-dong's
renovations will be passed on to another group.
We're doing politics right now.
You're a businessman, aren't you? You have to do business.
Chief Baek Sung Il, Yang Jung Do. Cut off those people, and join hands with us.
If you do that, I'll give you the rights to renovating Maseok-dong.
With this amount of politics and this amount of business,
isn't this what you would call synergy?
Just watch. He'll join hands with Chairman Kim Chang Soo,
but it won't be in the way you want.
Although you may view the world innocently, don't live innocently.
That's how you'll survive.
Goodbye.
Mayor! Mayor?
Yeah, Sung Hee. Is something wrong?
Chief...
the Mayor found out about the relationship between Chairman Wang and Jung Do.
I understand.
Decide quickly. We don't have much time, Chairman.
Kim Jeon Moo!
Yes, Chairman?
Tell Jung Do to
temporarily hold on this affair.
Pardon?
Yes, I understand.
It's me, Choi Chul Woo.
What is it? I believe we don't have anything more to discuss...
I just have something to ask you,
that's why I called.
It's something that even you'll be shocked to hear, Mayor.
Chairman.
Yes, Chairman?
I... ended my relationship with Jung Do.
Therefore, Bang Sil, you should
also take your hands off Jung Do now.
Let's live according to the level of business we do,
understand?
Chief Kim Min Sik eight years ago,
he didn't commit suicide, did he?
♫ Above a running man is a flying man. That saying doesn't pertain to me ♫
♫ I won't ever give up ♫
♫ That's my rule. Whether I run out of breathe or fall into a swamp, I won't stop ♫
♫ In the end, I will see the end. Come on, come on ♫
♫ I don't care. Whoever my opponent is, ♫
♫ I won't get scared ♫
I'll tell you who made me do this.
President Bang killed him and I covered that up.
In the end, it ends like this.
Our relationship ends here.
Chairman!
You need to find your own way to survive. Good work coming all the way here.
- Where should we meet? - You need to give me the money.
Good work.
Where is that? I can't keep the promise I made with you, Ahjussi.
Track down Chairman Choi Chul Woo's evaded taxes and get that from him, no matter what.
