[Episode 14]

[Sarang Resort Fire Victim Memorial]

[Kim Geun Tae,
Park Hong Sub, Ha Ji Woon]

[Kim Won Oh,
Cho Jeong Dae, Han Song]

Why did you do such a thing?

With what intention
did you dare to...

I didn't have an intention.

Smart One City's laborers
had lodged a complaint,

so I sneaked in to look around.

I ran and hid to avoid
getting caught by the manager.

This was beside the trash heap.

I couldn't leave it there.

So I brought it out.

You brought it out?

Yes.

Darn it.

Why does this keep falling off?

[Into The Ring]

[April 30, 2002]

I heard about
your younger son much later.

You should've called me.

I'd have returned all your favors
by helping you out.

No, sir.

I know the CEO of Sarang Resort,

and he's a decent guy.

He wants to put up a memorial...

and deal with the aftermath
of the accident.

Everyone feels differently about it.

Some mourning families
are refusing to cooperate.

Most of them would be.

Which is why I suggest...

you come forward
and become an example.

If things go well...

You're interested
in getting into politics.

This could become an opportunity
for you to build up...

a presence in your constituency.

I'm sorry for calling you
only when I need you.

Your family will be worried
when you come home late.

Not really. Don't even say that.

It's rather the other way around.

My wife has been going out to work,
so she can make some money...

for some food,

But I'm worried that
she might get carried away...

and end up getting scammed.

And I'm worried about Se Ra
because she's Se Ra.

You know her too.

You're spending time...

with Gong Myung, right?

My eldest son took
after his mother than me...

ever since he was young.

If my second son were still around,

I wonder if he
would've taken after me.

Yes, that's right.

He did take after me more.

He followed Gong Myung around.

And he liked banana milk.

I don't remember much,

but if he were still alive,

he would've taken after me.

You're home.

Hey. Bring me a cup of honey water.

There's no honey.
We finished all of it.

My goodness. Mr. Stupidity.
Who was your drinking buddy today?

Maeng Duk.

He talked about Jeong Dae.

What did he say?

He was wondering...

if Jeong Dae would've taken
after him if he was still alive.

And I guess Jeong Dae
liked banana milk.

So he remembers that.

He will never know...

the joy of bringing home
the snack and ice cream...

your children like after drinking.

You said you didn't want
to leave Gong Myung alone.

Can you talk to him?

I couldn't...

even tell him that
Gong Myung was staying with us.

It would be great
if a father and a son could live...

in the same house
and rely on each other.

I can't even picture that.

My gosh. What did you buy?

I swear I saw the honey over there.

Let's eat some ice cream.

It's good.

[Kim Geun Tae,
Park Hong Sub, Ha Ji Woon]

[Kim Won Oh,
Cho Jeong Dae, Han Song]

[The next day]

["Sarang Resort Fire Victim Memorial
is in Mawon-gu Office's Storage?"]

[Planning and Budgeting]

Did you read that?

[A memorial of Sarang Resort Fire?]

[Representative Goo
put it on the rooftop.]

[No way.]

Is that true?

I can't believe
she would do something like that.

- I can't believe it.
- How could she do that?

- She was the one who stole it.
- My goodness.

[That's why she lost
the chairman position.]

The memorial from the fire
at Sarang Resort?

Exactly. I don't understand.

Thank you for the tip-off.

I'll make sure
I keep your identity a secret.

Wait.

By the way,
until Chief Won was kicked out...

and Chairman Goo was ousted,

no one knew about it, right?

No one knew
about the memorial on the rooftop.

I don't believe it.

But Representative Cho
found out about it.

When Representative Goo needs
to talk to other representatives,

she tends to call them up
to the rooftop.

But you see,

I wonder how did Representative Goo
move the memorial on her own?

Yes. I helped her.

Oh, right. Mr. Seo.

Then why was she the only one
questioned by the police?

- Questioned by the police?
- Yes.

Was that a theft charge?

Yes. Since she took it
out of the site, it's a theft.

Q Construction pressed
charges against her.

Why are you telling me that now?

We just started talking about it.

Hey.

You trespassed
on the construction site...

and took something with you.
Then, it's a theft.

You keep saying that I stole it
and it was a theft.

Then, who's the owner
of the memorial?

The owner of Sarang Resort?

Or Q Construction because
they are building Smart One City?

Who is this man pushing
the wheelbarrow?

[Hardworking and Sincere Police]

What are you doing?

I plead the Fifth.

[Criminal Division 2]

[Police]

I'm representing Ms. Goo Se Ra.

My name is Yoon Hee Su.

[Law Firm Taekang,
Lawyer Yoon Hee Su]

Some people might think
I've been locked up in jail.

Just eat.

When I got served
with the lawsuit from Chief Won,

you weren't interested
in helping me.

Back then, I thought
the former chief was going to win...

the next regional election...

and become an assemblywoman
after winning the general election.

Things have changed.

And so did my position.

You're incredible.

I didn't get to talk
to Representative Bong for a while.

I should thank him...

for voting against ousting me
from my position.

I was the one
who voted against that.

What?

You must think he adores you.

And...

don't overreact
or think more than it is.

I only voted against it...

because I thought
it was unfair to oust you.

Representative Cho...

No, Chairman Cho will make
things difficult for you.

Now that his opposing party
is eliminated,

won't he try to kick you out
with the memorial incident?

He won't pursue it further.

You sound so sure.

I have another appointment.

You two should take your time
and enjoy your date.

It's my treat.

Thank you for the food, Hee Su.

Why are you calling me friendly
all of a sudden?

I'm nice to people who buy me food.

Thank you.

Thank you for the food, Hee Su.

Gosh.

Good job.

Here.

Drink it.

Come back and work for me.

I doubt that you have a job offer...

after seeing
what happened to Chief Won.

I didn't have any offers,

but I don't plan on coming back.

You don't need to give up...

just because
you were thrown a curveball.

I'm making you this offer...

because I need you
for my future plans.

If you need time to think about it,

you can take all the time you need.

[Chairman Cho Maeng Duk]

["Sarang Resort Fire Victim Memorial
is in Mawon-gu Office's Storage?"]

I really didn't have
any intention...

or mean to cause you trouble.

You said you couldn't
leave it there,

so you brought it out.

That convinced me.

But...

you won't keep it
in storage forever, right?

It would be wrong to do so.

Even to this day,

it was abandoned, with no one
to remember or look after it.

So long has passed
that even I had forgotten about it.

Now everyone knows about it.

Things should change, then.

Every year on April 1st,

people who still remember
the accident...

visit the Sarang Resort bus stop.

But...

now Sarang-dong isn't Sarang-dong.

When Smart One City's complete,

I know a lot of things will change.

So...

I'd like to move the memorial
to a place...

where people who remember
the accident can visit.

- No.
- Just pick.

My gosh...

Hello.

- No, I won't laugh at you.
- Over there.

Representative Jang will buy.

- Really?
- No.

I didn't call.

You shouldn't have done that.

- Come on.
- Let's sit.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

- Let's sit down.
- Sure.

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Let's move along with speed.

The ordinance to widen
the roads for Smart One City.

Mr. Go, present your case.

Let's do this.

I'll find an appropriate place
to put the memorial,

and in the meanwhile,
get the victims' families' approval.

I want this to be solved smoothly...

more than anyone.

Turn to the next page.

[Smart One City Road Construction,
Builder: Q Construction]

As you're aware, Mawon-gu is...

the least financially stable
in all of Seoul.

So to embark
on a project like this...

[Drawing a Prestigious Future
of Mawon, Completed in 2023]

There's talk that...

the completion will be delayed
because the chief was arrested.

That's not true at all.

The project will proceed as planned.

I heard that from an insider.

Hello, everyone.

It's not easy
finding a new place to move to.

How about a pack
of green vegetable juice?

Could I have a copy of that?

Oh, sure.

Thank you.

[Planning and Budgeting]

I miss it.

Miss what?

The last room on the second floor
of the district assembly.

The chairman's office?

And the very black thing
on four wheels.

The official vehicle.

The office and the car...

vanished like a dream.

Still, we're on our way up.

You know what I'm talking about,
right?

I'm short of breath
because we're going uphill.

I don't miss it.

The office or the car.

You must like being back
in Planning and Budgeting.

I like it right now.

I like you.

Don't put all your weight on me.

Gosh...

How comfortable.

I love it.

["Sarang Resort Fire Victim Memorial
is in Mawon-gu Office's Storage?"]

Gosh.

Do you really not get
how your only daughter feels?

Like you said, Se Ra takes after me.

She's as tender-hearted
as an innermost flower petal.

You should've told me
as soon as you found out.

You barged in like a rhino
before I got the chance to explain.

He must be so distraught.

My point exactly.

So that's why...

Maeng Duk called me out
for a drink that night.

Why are you talking about Maeng Duk?

Gong Myung's the kid.
You should worry about him.

I'm home.

I'm... I'm home.

Yes. You're late.

You must be tired. Go and rest.

Wait.

Men and women.

Disperse to separate rooms.

Right.

Move.

Go on.

You two.

Don't eat anything at night.

Starting today,

we're all going on
an intermittent fast.

Could you make a sound?

I legally came here from my room.

There must be a lot to do
at Planning and Budgeting.

Our date starts at 3 a.m.,
but you're staring at your laptop.

Aren't you?

I finished my duties
at 6 p.m. sharp.

I'm going through
the Smart One City minutes...

and I think part of it was deleted.

Ex-Chief Won loves
to make people responsible,

so she was fastidious about
keeping the minutes.

You were still working on that?

Not very hard, but still.

I worked as hard as
you delivered juice...

to all the real estate agents
around Smart One City.

Take a look.

How did you know that?

[Smart One City
Environmental Effect Report]

[No questions or comments]

I saw this before.

In Sammart's
distribution center's files.

They cut out a whole chunk
from the moment I raised my hand.

This is from...

April 9 of 2020.

It's the day before the election.

Only Chief Won...

and the heads of the
relevant departments gathered.

I'll dig a bit more.

Also...

This weekend, I'll go back home.

Why?

Is it because my dad snores so much?

I hate Dad.

No. It's because...

I must feed Cecilia and her friends,

and the aquarium
needs regular cleaning.

I think it's because of Dad.

It's not.

Darn her.

Since I came here,

there's a moment I loved...

as much as our 3 a.m. dates.

When was that?

When I come home after work.

When I'd say, "I'm home,"

your mom and dad
would greet me warmly.

I'll miss that a lot.

I can't stay here forever.

The construction
of Smart One City Area Six...

will be left to Q Construction.

There will be no problems.

[Aeguk Conservative Party]

By the way,

deal with that memorial properly.

We're building a new house
over an old one.

A memorial doesn't suit the place.

It's obvious that those moving in...

will object to having it around.

Yes.

How much longer do you want
to remain...

as a district representative?

Let's get this over and done with
and move on.

[A week later]

[Storage Room]

When I saw you remove Goo Se Ra...

from her position just like that,

I felt something from deep inside.

"Yes! Justice lives!"

You're still upset with me...

over the previous chairman vote,
am I right?

Pardon? No.

No, sir. Not at all.

You must be very busy,

but could you please
give me the opportunity...

to treat you and
Vice Chairman Yoon to a meal...

You asked me to get
the families of all 49 victims...

of the Sarang Resort fire...

to sign their approval
about relocating the memorial.

I failed to get the signature
from two of the victim's relatives.

The two victims were
Minju Elementary School students...

Kim Won Oh and Cho Jeong Dae.

Do you have a blank form?

Yes.

Here it is.

Can I have one too?

[Agreement to Relocate the Memorial]

[Name of victim: Cho Jeong Dae]

[Cho Maeng Duk]

I'll have my secretary...

bring you proof of relationship.

Yes, sir.

We must start to look for a place
to relocate the memorial.

That comes later.

Keeping it in storage
isn't a problem.

Get someone...

to locate Kim Won Oh's relative...

and get the form signed
within a week.

Be sure to get it.

My second son...

went to Minju Elementary School.

I lost him in an accident.

I wish for children to be safe
more than anyone else.

At the Sammart
distribution center protest,

he mentioned his son.

I didn't know that accident
was the Sarang Resort fire.

I see.

I thought everything he said
was a lie.

Can you imagine what must've
gone through his mind...

when Goo Se Ra caused
that fuss over Sarang-dong?

Anyway, we should side
with Chairman Cho...

and lie low.

We must bide our time...

until the next regional election.

Is this the agreement?

Yes.

[Agreement to Relocate the Memorial]

[2. Confirmation and agreement
about relocation]

[The family agrees to relinquish
all rights...]

[regarding the relocation
to Mawon-gu Office.]

Representative Cho.

Thank you for the offer,

but for the first time, I refuse.

The agreement form
about the memorial's relocation.

Only one family out of all
the victims hasn't signed it yet.

We should get it signed quick.
We can't keep it in storage forever.

They're getting the form signed
to keep it in storage forever.

What?

The form says "memorial relocation",

but the true intention
is to keep it in storage.

The form says...

all rights regarding the relocation,
storage, and maintenance...

of the memorial will be
relinquished to Mawon-gu Office.

Representative Cho promised.

Once the families
sign the agreement,

he'll find an appropriate place
for the memorial.

I heard the memorial
was made and erected by...

Sarang Resort's company
to placate the families,

so people rarely came to see it.

That's how they managed to get
the agreements signed so quickly.

I'm telling you this because
I think you trust Mr. Cho too much.

Kids must be the one thing
that tugs at my conscience.

Where are you doing?

To Mr. Cho's.

He's getting the agreements signed
to keep the memorial in storage.

Gosh. Ms. Goo.

You summarized it too drastically.

I heard that some families
haven't signed it yet.

What if they don't sign it?

Did you know about this?

It'll be difficult
to force them to not sign it.

There are too many people watching.

But you don't even know who it is.

Do you think they'll just
hand over that information?

Also, it doesn't have anything
to do with you.

It does have something to do
with me.

I hope you can help us.

No, thanks.

That's something beyond my power.

You have someone close...

that will never refuse
if you ask for help.

Someone close?

You know, him.

It's just a small gift.

But I'm sure you've come to ask
for a big favor.

You know the victims' family
yet to be found?

His name is Kim Won Oh.

Vice-Chairman Yoon
and I will look for them.

I shall prove my sense
of responsibility for Sarang-dong...

and infinite respect for you...

and won't let you down.

Thank you.

Be strong, today and tomorrow!

I'm sending the number
of Kim Won Oh's family.

They're not answering the phone,

so go visit them at his home.

"Jeongeui-dong 304".

Jeongeui-dong 304?



The first customer who came...

to the Office of
District Representative Goo Se Ra.

"An urgent complaint"?

[Jeongeui-dong 304]

What the? Is it automatic?

Hello, I am...

- Put on the helmet.
- What?

Put it on!

Oh, my.

No matter how much I eat,
I'm still hungry.

Ma'am, can I have a bottle of soju?

Okay.

Hey.

Thank you.

Don't get drunk and torment me...

and eat this before you drink.

Gosh, are you taking care of me?

What about the elder lady?
You still can't reach her?

Her neighbor told me...

that it's been a while
since she moved out.

But even after her complaint
was taken care of,

she still wore that helmet
around the house.

When the hospital called me
about her fall,

I was the only one
on her call history.

She didn't have any other family.

I wonder where she went to.

We must find her before
Mr. Cho and Mr. Go.

I'm Goo Se Ra.

And that old lady is not
an ordinary woman.

I know that better than anyone.

Okay, thank you.
  • Where on earth is she?

    Hello, this is
    District Representative...

    Goo Se Ra of Mawon-gu Office.

    Among your patients,

    is there a woman
    named Park Jeong Rae?

    She's an elder lady living alone,

    and I can't reach her since
    she moved out a month ago.

    Oh, her name is Park Jeong Rae.

    She always wears a helmet
    on her head...

    and she's...a bit cute.

    My goodness.

    Why does she carry this around
    when it isn't necessary now?

    I'll stick it in a trash bag
    and throw it out.

    - My gosh.
    - Who says you can do that?

    Ma'am, why was it so hard
    to get hold of you?

    In this modern society,

    is this helmet more important
    than your phone?

    I lost my phone.

    Darn it.

    Did I drop it
    while I was running away?

    "Running away"?

    - From what?
    - Get me apples.

    He's my boyfriend.

    - Too bad.
    - What?

    Too bad he has an ugly girlfriend.

    No one ever visited you.

    Are they your grandchildren?

    No, they're not.

    Forget about the apples.

    - Put me in my wheelchair.
    - Okay.

    Hurry up, before she yells at you.

    I went to the hospital...

    and they said that thing...

    I don't remember the name.

    Anyhow, they said some bad stuff
    was accumulated inside my body.

    I kept feeling dizzy
    and had headaches...

    and they said it was all because
    of that thing.

    I guess my time is almost up.

    What are you talking about?

    You told me you weren't going
    to leave Mawon-gu.

    Goo Se Ra.

    Are you still
    a district representative?

    Yes.

    Then I have another job for you.

    There's a resort in Sarang-dong
    called Sarang Resort.

    Since they started
    the construction work,

    those jerks stashed the memorial
    somewhere and won't tell me.

    Actually, the reason
    we came to see you...

    Ma'am.

    Did you go to the Sarang Resort
    site often?

    Yes, I did.

    How often? How often did you go?

    For 18 years.

    Every Wednesday.

    [Kim Won Oh]

    [Sarang Resort Fire Victim Memorial]

    Although all that remains
    is his name,

    how could I leave him like that?

    Mr. Park, did you send them


    Please check, and put the materials
    in the storage area.

    Wait, ma'am!

    - You can't come in here.
    - But...

    - Leave.
    - But I...

    No, you might get hurt in here.

    You need to leave.

    Come on, just leave.

    Ma'am!

    I told you not to trespass!

    Ma'am!

    You'd better not come here
    ever again!

    Those dirtbag scum.

    Just wait until I find out
    where they hid it.

    It was me.

    What?

    It was left beside a trash heap,

    so the two of us...

    I'm sorry.

    Who said you could take it?
    You're evading me?

    Goo Se Ra! Where did you put it?

    - Hey!
    - Ma'am!

    Don't you run away.
    Stay where you are.

    Where did you take it?
    Don't you try to run away from me.

    Come here. Goo Se Ra, come here!

    - You...
    - Ma'am!

    Where did you put the memorial?

    Ma'am, you could hurt yourself.

    - My goodness.
    - Sit down.

    Oh, dear.

    My gosh. I feel dizzy.

    Ma'am.

    When did you begin to feel dizzy?

    It's been...

    about five years.

    Why are you asking that?

    You...

    Bring the memorial here
    this instant.

    Or I'll just... My gosh.

    My gosh.

    Arsenic poisoning?

    The doctor says...

    it has been accumulating
    inside her for a long time.

    That's a heavy metal.

    It makes no sense.

    She doesn't live next to
    a construction site.

    All she does is take a walk,
    buy groceries,

    and visit the memorial once a week.

    When Yong Gyu's father was hurt,

    he said he fell
    because he felt dizzy.

    Yong Gyu's father
    and the helmet lady...

    visited one place in common.

    Smart One City Area Six.

    Sarang Resort?

    [Arsenic]

    [Precautions]

    Arsenic is a class one carcinogen.

    At Sarang Resort which is currently
    Smart One City Area Six,

    five people got hurt...

    and one person
    has arsenic poisoning?

    That's my guess so far.

    Where can I afford to move to?

    Until I die,

    I can't leave Mawon-gu.

    You can find a cheap place.

    It's not as if this neighborhood
    is a great place to live.

    I take care of it until the end.

    Darn it. That hurts.

    Actually...

    At the meat restaurant,

    I overheard the men
    talking about carcinogens.

    Say that again.

    Well...

    Your safety measures are very poor.

    It's not fair on us either.

    We can't have them bring us...

    doctors' notes
    mentioning carcinogens.

    Lady. Why do you keep
    flipping the meat?

    Burned meat gives you cancer.

    I thought he was
    talking about burned meat.

    He wasn't, was he?

    I already settled.

    And more than anything, I don't want
    my son to get into trouble.

    I'm sorry.

    Sir.

    Out of Smart One City Areas 1 to 6,

    there's one file that Area Six
    didn't hand in that the others did.

    What's that?

    The environmental effect report.

    I asked them to issue another copy,
    but they keep making excuses.

    That concludes
    the 284th temporary...

    Just a moment.

    I request time to speak.

    You should apply in advance.
    You always ask so impulsively.

    That's up to me.

    Ms. Goo, I'll allow you
    to speak for five minutes.

    Okay.

    Smart One City is
    an important project for Mawon-gu.

    But Area Six...

    had some issues
    the other five areas did not have.

    In Just Area Six,


    in the past 3 months.

    Only Area Six...

    didn't hand in
    an environmental effect report.

    Are you saying the falls
    and the missing report on...

    the environmental effect
    are related?

    Right now, it's just a suspicion.

    I need the missing report
    to be released...

    to confirm it.

    At next month's
    administration audit,

    I'll instruct...

    What if we wait until then
    and someone else gets hurt?

    In the name of Mawon-gu Office,
    I request that...

    you obtain and release the contents
    of the environmental report.

    What are you on about?

    - What?
    - What for?

    It's your constituency.

    It's not my problem.

    What do you want?

    Why should we release that?

    I don't know what she's getting at.

    What is this about?

    - What's going on?
    - Come on.

    - Say something.
    - Like what?

    It's not like I knew from the start.

    Tell me everything you know.

    What did ex-Chief Won So Jung hide?

    Well,

    on the day before the by-election...

    I was going to visit
    Oh Byeong Min's election camp,

    but you're in a bad mood.
    What is this?

    Oh, it's an environmental
    effect report.

    Sarang Resort.

    What did you do to the land?

    What do you mean? What would I do?

    I know you borrowed it
    as a temporary storing facility.

    It says there's over 25 times...

    the legal limit of arsenic,
    a class one carcinogen.

    Cadmium, lead, nickel!

    All sorts of heavy metals
    were detected!

    I thought it would be fine
    as it was an empty lot.

    I didn't want
    to build a facility to store waste,

    so I buried it underground.

    So Jung yelled bloody m*rder,

    so I moved it all to
    a rural place in Gyeonggi Province.

    I thought it would be fine by now.

    Were you aware of this, Vice Chief?

    We estimated how much
    it would cost...

    to clean the earth and it was
    too much for our finances.

    So ex-Chief Won said...

    You should cover it up and proceed?

    Yes.

    Gosh. Your statement today
    was very impressive.

    Oh, it was nothing.

    I thought you were looking
    for a victim's family,

    but you're still looking into
    the Smart One City laborers.

    Yes. I think they're one
    and the same issue.

    The chief's position
    is currently vacant,

    and the vice chief is acting chief.

    He is very close to Chairman Cho.

    So Chairman Cho might not...

    accept your request
    about the report.

    It would be best to find
    another solution too.

    Before construction moves ahead,

    more Mawon-gu residents
    should be made aware of this.

    Okay.

    [Release the environmental
    effect report!]

    In the name of Mawon-gu's residents,

    I ask Mawon-gu Office to release
    the environmental effect report.

    [Number of likes]

    "Goo Se Ra and Bong Chu San
    of Mawon-gu's District Assembly,"

    "alongside about 300
    Mawon-gu residents,"

    "requested the Civilian
    Audit Committee..."

    "to investigate Mawon-gu's
    Smart One City project."

    She's a true Garden Tiger Moth.

    She gathered the minimum number
    and went to Seoul City Hall.

    So what if she does that?

    Gu offices aren't legally obligated
    to release reports.

    They'll just say,
    "We're not breaking the rules."

    Gosh. What a pity how that's
    the level of their official reply.

    Mr. Seo. You can come here
    every day and I won't budge.

    I can't help you.

    Will you let go of my father and me?

    It's not because
    I'm sick of doing the dishes.

    I feel so uncomfortable.

    Darn it.

    Ms. Goo is no longer chairman,

    and you're no longer a secretary.

    Shouldn't you do your best
    in each of your positions?

    I don't understand...

    why you asked to see me in private
    to say that.

    Very recently,

    I found out about your relationship
    with Chairman Cho.

    You were...

    transferred to council secretariat,

    and then you were sent back
    to Planning and Budgeting.

    There's only one person
    who could pull such strings.

    Representative Yang...

    had told me that...

    Chairman Cho had a grown son.

    I think it's best
    you stop helping...

    and getting involved
    in Ms. Goo's business.

    When Ms. Goo was relieved
    of her chairman duties,

    I believe you didn't support her.

    The files you used to sue Chief Won.

    You could've
    checked with Ms. Goo first,

    but you just went ahead.

    You're the one
    who shouldn't use Ms. Goo...

    or make her take the lead
    when you see fit.

    If someone comes
    and tells you to sign a paper,

    stall and call me first.

    Why are you here alone?

    Ms. Goo is very busy these days.

    Break up with her.

    Pardon?

    Have some apple.

    You two.

    Try to get along.

    Eat up.

    Hello.

    I'm Cho Maeng Duk, chairman...

    of Mawon-gu's District Assembly.

    Today I'm here not as chairman,

    but to ask for a favor...

    as someone
    who's in the same position.

    Eat up.

    Se Ra, I think you messed up.

    What do you mean?

    Your name's mentioned
    in the hottest community post,

    so I had a look.

    [Goo Se Ra's
    bringing down house prices]

    What am I doing
    bringing down housing prices?

    I understand real estate really is
    the last lottery left nowadays,

    but they're so harsh.

    We must fire Mr. Heo.

    We must get rid of Goo Se Ra first.

    We'll lose votes 5 to 6
    if we get rid of them both.

    Dagachi Progressive Party
    will have one more member than us.

    You must make up your mind.

    Mr. Heo wasn't on our side
    from the start.

    If we let him go,

    what'll you do about future votes?

    Mr. Heo will vote on our side
    until his term's over.

    For now,

    we'll get rid of the nonpartisan,
    and then the progressive members.

    [A week later]

    Here you go.

    Your boyfriend came instead.

    He peeled me an apple.

    He's sweet, isn't he?

    Also that day, some representative
    called Cho came by too.

    Cho?

    Cho Maeng Duk?

    I signed the form for him.

    What?

    So you and your boyfriend
    can stop coming here.

    Why...

    "Representative Goo Se Ra,
    summoned by the people."

    [Notice]

    That's me.

    [Agenda: Vote to be held
    to decide...]

    [whether she keeps her position.]

    [Mawon-gu
    District Assembly Chairman]

    Why me?

    [Mawon-gu District Assembly
    Noticeboard]

    Gosh.

    [Chairman Cho Maeng Duk]

    You met Park Jeong Rae,
    Kim Won Oh's relative.

    I did.

    You got her to sign the form.

    That was why I visited her.

    I didn't force her,
    but you must know already.

    I have...

    no intention of leaving...

    without a fight like I did
    when I left this office.

    Well...

    Mawon-gu's residents
    will decide that.

    You were fortunate enough...

    to get this far
    with your numerous complaints.

    It wasn't a good fortune.

    It was more of a miracle.

    People everywhere will stone you.

    If they stone me,
    I'll take the stoning.

    Because there's something
    I must do that only I can do.

    [Notice]

    [Summer of 2005]

    [Mawon Middle School, Goo Se Ra]

    This is the service center
    of Mawon-gu Office.

    Hello.

    I'm a first-grade student at...

    Mawon Middle School.

    [Amusement park approved
    for Sarang Resort's old location]

    I saw a banner
    outside Sarang Resort.

    [Amusement park]

    It says an amusement park...

    was approved for the location.

    You can't build
    an amusement park here.

    It's only been three years.

    An amusement park...

    is just wrong.

    [Se Ra's first complaint,]

    [her first complaint diary]

    [Into The Ring]

    You're about to get fired.

    Says who?

    That Cho-something guy.

    There's no reason
    Ms. Goo must be treated like this.

    To obtain what you want,

    you must sell all you have.

    That's how I got here.

    Can you do the same?

    Why did Mr. Yang...

    use the word "bury"
    in his notes about you?

    She must think that we're close...

    and decided
    to come after me first.

    Hello, this is Seo Gong Myung.

    I'm sorry to call late at night.

    I'm calling about Ms. Goo Se Ra.
