"The people, organizations, and events featured in this drama are fictitious." "Episode 3" "I need to go to the bathroom." "OK." "Is that smoke?" "A fire?" " Fire." " Fire." "Is there a fire?" "Get everyone out of here." "Try to put it out." " OK." " Go." "Mr. Lee." "Mr. Lee." "Hey." "Gosh." "You're really something." "You left me in there while you fled to safety?" "I couldn't exactly barge into the ladies room, could I?" "We're both safe, so what's the problem?" "Let's go." "What's that bag?" "I covered my face." "Mi-jin and Do-jin's names are on this list." "But not on this one." "They're not the only ones." "The government's paying for food they don't eat." "He tried to cover his tracks." "Hello?" "This is Lee Kyung-wan." "Shim Jae-dong speaking." "I have the money." "$200K divided into five different accounts." "I gave your assistant the passbooks and ATM cards." "I wrote the PINs on the back of each card for you." "Thanks." "I'll see to it that you get promoted next month." "Thank you, congressman." "We don't spend all the tax money anyway." "No one will care what you're doing with the money." "People starve all over the world." "It happens." "We just have to care about people we know." "Forget the strangers." "It's for the greater good." "Hey." "The bag." "The bag." "The bag!" "No." "It's obvious that Haewon Construction is up to no good." "I checked the IOU's and receipts we confiscated." "None of them corresponds with the books." "They're forging documents to ruin my investigation." "Do you think that's enough to get a warrant?" "The judges aren't stupid." "Are they?" "You're going too far." "You were top of your class." "What happened to your smarts?" "!" "Chief!" "." "He's so powerful even our chief is scared." "Things are just getting better and better." "A package arrived for you." "Sir." "I gave your assistant the passbooks and ATM cards." "We don't spend all the tax money anyway." "No one will care what you're doing with the money." "People starve all over the world." "It happens." "It's for the greater good." "It's Lee Kyung-wan." "Congressman Lee's arrest is imminent." "Prosecutor Kim Young-ju has just arrived at the House of Parliament." "When congress is in session, a congressman can't be arrested... unless congress agrees to it or he is caught in the act." "These allegations are preposterous." "The fact that a warrant was issued proves... that I am a target even when I have not broken any laws." "We have laws." "And they state that one is innocent until proven guilty." "The prosecutors want me arrested." "But all they have to do is question me." "You are my honored colleagues." "I have been a congressman for over 20 years." "Do I look like a corrupt person?" "I swear today that I never spent a penny that was not mine." "oh, really, not a penny?" "How much are your pennies worth?" "You know me." "Do not let them arrest me." "You all heard what Congressman Lee had to say." "Please vote for or against his arrest as is required by law." "Results" "For: 11 , Against: 267" "You have voted against the arrest of Congressman Lee." "Korea truly is democratic." " Hurray." " For democracy." "My colleagues have shown me that Korea truly values law and justice." "How do you feel?" "Will you sue the prosecutors?" "I feel so sorry for you." "You came all the way here for nothing." "We're here to make laws to benefit our constituents." "Go catch yourself some criminals." "Isn't that what you're paid to do?" "I believe wiretapping is illegal." "I will sue you for that." "Be prepared to quit your jobs." "We did not record those... out of our way." "Now I really hate that old man." "Why did you say the recordings cannot be made public?" "What is your next move?" "Any comments on the wiretapping?" "Do you have anything to say?" "Any comments, please?" "Any further comments?" "Something's fishy." "That bag contained the cards and passbooks." "You said a tall and lanky guy took it from my assistant?" "There wasn't time to get a good look at him." "Do you think you saw him before?" "Maybe he was spying on you." "I think..." "Me?" "I pity starving kids." "I'd like to know why kids are starving when people are paying their taxes." "Someone did come by, actually." "To complain about two kids starving despite being subsidized." "You should count..." "I hit it five times." "I got seven hits." "Better luck next time." "I got nine." "I get nine on good days, too, you know." "Check Dr. Lee's target." "This guy..." "He only got one?" "That is So embarrassing." "Don't Americans use guns?" "I'll give him a lesson on one of my good days." "What?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "This is Mi-jin s." "And Do-jin s." "More for Mi-jin." "You thief." "What was that for?" "You're eating all the fish and feeding the kids plain rice." "We asked him to." "We don't like raw fish." "Really?" "What are you, a gangster?" "Do you always attack first?" "It's not an admirable trait." "Have some kimchi stew." "I made it with special kimchi." "I steamed some eggs, too." "The stew's so good." "Is it?" "Not bad." "Did you really cook this?" "Isn't it good?" "Doesn't it taste like your mom's cooking?" "What?" "You said it was good." "I'm so happy." "I doubt Lee Kyung-wan knows this feeling." "What do you think?" "A man suspected of having a slush fund can't be happy." "What..?" "Don't you watch the news?" "Everyone's talking about him." "I should go." "I didn't get to say goodbye." "You can't let something like this get to you, Mr. Kim." "It's not getting to me." "I needed someone to comfort me and I thought of you." "I thought we split up because I wasn't comforting enough." "Are you still checking on Nana?" "Yes." "Her aunt works for me." "You keep tabs on everyone." "I'm worried..." "You're way too nice to people." "I'm so full." "What's this?" "My dad measured my height." "on the 1st of every month." "Shik-joong?" "How are you?" "Great." "I love someone who loves me back." "Do the words seizure and auction mean anything?" "Did you take out a loan?" "Why would I?" "That Nana girl borrowed from the bank." "Is she that poor?" "She doesn't look rich." "I need you to look out for her, OK?" "Pretty please, Yoon-sung." "Have you ever gone hungry before?" "Yeah." "And it's the worst feeling in the world." "You wonder why you were born." "You hate life itself." "You want to kill everyone around you." "And you think of ways to kill yourself." "Why?" "It's a bad thing to make kids starve, right?" "Do you even have to ask?" "That's..." "I can't use cuss words on the phone." "People who starve kids should be hung, drawn, and quartered." "I really miss your kimchi and fake tom yum soup." "Your cooking is my mom's cooking to me." "Talk to you again soon." "Bye." "The profits from the deal with Japan." "How is your wife?" "It hurts to see her cry in pain." "I'm glad I'm around to look after her." "Fly to Korea after she dies." "I need you with Yoon-sung." "What, just me?" "What about you?" "Um..." "This revenge thing." "Do you have to do it?" "This is the woman in Yoon-sung's photo." "Is this your mother?" "She doesn't look like someone who d abandon her son." "I'll get going, boss." "I've been a politician for 20 years." "Things like this happen all the time." "The young prosecutor was too eager and went a bit too far." "I can't exactly put him in his place." "I'll try talking to him." "Do forgive him." "I believe he did nothing wrong." "A judge issued the warrant." "Doesn't that mean they have proof to back it up?" "Proof of what?" "I am innocent." "Are you really?" "I am." "Very well." "If any one of us here even attempts something immoral or corrupt, then we must accept punishment just like any other man." "The same goes for me and my family." "I hope you take this to heart." "We made him president." "He only has one year left in his term." "He doesn't want to get involved in anything." "A tree that doesn't sway will break." "I will topple and walk all over anyone who gets in my way." "Excuse me." "Shouldn't you postpone publishing your book?" "You've got to stand tall in times like these." "I will show my opposition that I can't be beaten." "Shim Jae-dong just called me." "He knows the two kids the lanky guy came to ask about." "Really?" "I might be able to use those kids to get to him." "Invite the kids to my party as special guests or something." "Yes, sir." "Did something upset you?" "You're home?" "How was class?" "Boring." "I needed a distraction, just like you." "The smell of wood makes me feel so much better." "The smell..." "Cures all your headaches?" "I hate it when you feel bad." "You get more wrinkles." "You're the one who gave me all these wrinkles, OK?" "OK." "Dad." "Can I switch personal tutors?" "Again?" "I know someone really smart." "Who works right here." "Which means he was cleared by security already." "And we all can save time." "What if rumors spread?" "I can't have my staff talking about your terrible grades." "Everyone knows about that already." "Does that mean you're saying yes?" "But..." "You need to talk to your mom first." "That little brat..." "You're running late?" "Great timing." "Give me a lift." "Why should I?" "Because you can." "other people will get the wrong idea." "Run." "Hey." "He's a monster AND a meanie?" "I have more to lose than he does." "All you have to do is say yes." "Say it." "Go on, just say yes, OK?" "I can't get out with you standing there." "Give me an answer." "I said no." "Da-hye, are you OK?" "Dr. Lee." "You're quite rough with women." "What?" "A woman?" "You?" "Then am I a man?" "You're a kid." "I turn 20 this year." "My grades are super bad." "But if you tutor me and I manage to get into college, my dad will... give you a medal." "Good for you." "Tutoring?" "What subject?" "Math?" "Differentiation?" "Function?" "or English?" "The passive form?" "Tense?" "I was the most famous tutor in my hometown back in the day." "Is it a yes or a no?" "I said no." "Your brain AND your ears are failing." "or are you a monkey that needs repetitive training?" "If you won't tutor me, then date me." "I can..." "Hey, kiddo." "I said I'm not a kid." "I see you have very high standards." "But you're not my type." "Do you need a full-length mirror?" "Yes, chief." "What?" "We got hacked?" "Got it." "Gi-joon, run." "Huh?" "I'll make you say yes." "Forget about him." "He's a dangerous man." "How would you know about that?" "Chief, will you sit beside me?" " Sure." "Why not?" " Great." "Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee." "What?" "Can't you be more polite at work?" "What's going on?" "The First Lady would like to see you." "The First Lady?" "I'm heading out for a lunch date." "A lunch date?" "Yup." "To see someone I miss even after just one day." "Bye." "He sets up dates whenever he can?" "You win." "Dad." "Dear wifey." "I wish you were alive and here with me." "How am I to do this alone?" "Where is he?" "Shik-joong." "Yoon-sung." "Yoon-sung." "My wife, look, she..." "Grieve... but then let go." "Wow, you're looking good." "Better than before?" "Wifey, you should..." "I missed you, too." "Have you eaten?" "Wow." "Is this a home or a palace?" "Remember, I don't like clutter." "Get settled in." "I have work to do." "Wow." "The bills must be enormous." "You don't need a driver today?" "Money-crazy, huh?" "Go to bed." ""Money-crazy"?" "How dare that monster say that." "What?" "Nothing." "I'm making flowers with Mi-jin and Do-jin for Congressman Lee's party." "Don't text me." "What did you say?" "Nothing." "Let's speed up." "This is so fun." "What?" "Why did Lee invite the kids?" "Yoon-sung, have some coffee." "Your favorite Thai coffee." "You coffee's the best." "Waa, this is..." "Was it always this bitter?" "Your taste has changed." "Thanks to this girl who makes my coffee." "A girl makes you coffee?" "Yeah." "At work." "Good night." "Shik-joong." "I need your help tomorrow." "Do you mind?" "of course not." "I'll do anything for you." "The media seem to hate you." "Public sentiment is one thing you can't control." "I'm the great Lee Kyung-wan." "No one can take me down." "Don't worry." "Do you think I'm worried about You?" "I made you those fake IOU's." "Sir." "The two kids are here." "Hey." "Can I borrow your assistant for the day?" "I might be able to track down the guy who is spying on me." "Hello, miss." "Mr. Chun." "I'm Lee with Daehan Daily." "Your Haewon Construction has ties to Congressman Lee..." "Excuse us." "We should go." "Just a moment." "I think you should keep an eye on Kyung-wan." "Do as he says, but report back to me when you can." "Yes, sir." "Hello." "How are things?" "Good afternoon." "You made it." "Are you here to look for more proof?" "." "I'd rather you not ruin a nice party." "You taught me that one must know his enemy." "So I'm here." "Enemies?" "I'm here to see what kind of people pay thousands for a boring book." "I'll see you later." "He has guts." "I'm sorry." "He thinks he's a big shot." "I actually prefer him to some politicians." "He'll come around when he sees how things work." "What's this?" "Let's go and say hello to the congressman." "Wait for them inside." "Miss Kim." "oh, Mr. Kim." "What are you doing here?" "Two kids I know were invited, so I brought them over." "I saw the news." "So you were investigating Congressman Lee that night?" "Yeah." "Show him that justice prevails." "That he has to pay." "We're on his turf right now." "I know that." "But that won't stop me from speaking my mind." "I like how you're so spunky." "Let's go in." "OK." "Good afternoon." "Congressman Lee's 6th book, "I Cry With the People" is out." "Thank you for joining us to celebrate." "As you all know, Congressman Lee has been having a hard time." "But his whole life was a struggle, as the following video will show you." "May 1st, 1948." "Lee Kyung-wan was born as the second son of a soy sauce maker." "Don't believe everything on the news." "Some people just want to make me look bad, OK?" "They're making up stories." "Good boy." "These are the kids, sir." "Hey." "Do-jin." "Min-joon." "Do you know him?" "He's in my class." "He's a beggar." "Hey." "You asked the teacher for free food." "Because your family can't afford it." "Enough." "Hey." "Min-joon, go to mommy." "OK." "Aren't you two cute?" "What's your name?" "Song Mi-jin." "Mi-jin?" "And you?" "Song Do-jin." "Do-jin?" "Good, good." "Do-jin." "Now tell me." "Do you know some guy who's tall and thin?" "How do you..." "You know." "You know him." "So, where is he now?" "Hello?" "Are you looking for me?" "Why are you so mean to your grandson's friend?" "Where are you right now?" "Where are you calling from?" "Stop scowling at the poor kids." "Let them go and I'll come in to see you." "Deal." "But I won't guarantee the kids safety if you don't show up." "Let's go." "Take him in." "I can't believe you actually came here." "Who are you?" "Me?" "I'm a jobless fool who took pity on some starving kids." "You're jobless?" "Who was it?" "Who hired you to steal from me?" "What? "From you"?" "Tax money isn't exactly all yours." "You're a thief, aren't you?" "What?" "A thief?" "." "We don't run an orphanage." "Why should we feed kids when even their lousy parents don't care?" "The taxpayer's money?" "So what if I spend some of it?" "Someone else will if not me." "Wouldn't it be better if I spend it on something more worthwhile than kids?" "People like me fought for and won democracy for you." "oh, really?" "I think you're abusing your power to ruin our country." "I see you want fame that comes with being a hero." "I can get away with anything, you know." "You see..." "I have power that you don't have." "That's what power is like." "That's why everyone wants it." "I can crush people like you." "And I will." "Sir." "Leave him to me." "I'll take it from here." "He shouldn't have said that." "I remember 1960, when we fought for democracy." "That made me wonder what democracy..." "The taxpayer's money?" "So what if I spend some of it?" "Someone else will if not me." "Wouldn't it be better if I spend it on something more worthwhile than kids?" "People like me fought for and won democracy for you." "What's that?" "Turn it off." "Turn it off." "I can get away with anything, you know." "You see..." "I have power that you don't have." "I can crush people like you." "And I will." "We don't run an orphanage." "Why should we feed kids when even their lousy parents don't care?" "It's him." "What's his name?" " Lee Kyung-wan." " Yeah, that's him." "People like me fought for and won democracy for you." "Hello?" "Jang?" "Congressman Lee confessed via video at the party." "Get a warrant." "I'll be right there." "Excuse me." "Get him out of here." "Send him abroad or kill him." "Don't let him take me down, too." "Yes, sir." "We should go." "To Kim Young-ju, Prosecutors office" "What's this?" ""To Kim Young-ju, Prosecutors office"?" "Call Mr. Kim." "He's a prosecutor." " This is it." " Are you sure?" "This is it." "We were told something fun would happen here." "What's inside the box?" "What's going on here?" "We got a tip." "We were told to come here and wait for something to happen." "That you, Mr. Kim, are the hero." "This came for you, sir." "It's moving." "Shall I open it?" "I have faith in Korea" "This..." "This is illegal." "My colleagues voted against my arrest." "But then you confessed." "And that's grounds for your arrest." "So here you are." "But I, that confession..." "I'll show you how we do things." "Aren't these dog tags?" "They're not mine." "I didn't go to the army..." "Kim Young-ju speaking." "Take care of that Lee garbage for me." "Who..." "Your father is so cool." "I wondered why he trained you so hard back in Thailand." "Then I saw you in action today." "You were so awesome." "Hey." "I don't want him to trace me." "Did your father say you could have Lee arrested?" "If not, he might freak out." "I'm against killing people." "I want to ruin them forever." "Where are you?" "By the Han River." "I thought a walk would cheer up the kids." "Do you need me to drive you?" "Bring me coffee." "For a stamp." "Mr. Lee." "Are you telling me that..." "Do you want a stamp or not?" "See you at the musical fountain." "Drop me off at the car park and head home." "Why?" "Shouldn't we celebrate?" "Some other time." "I want some sweet coffee." "Hey, kids." "Come on." "It's fun." "I don't feel like it." "I hate Korea." "Everyone lies." "No one cares about us." "Lighten up, little lady." "Cheer up." "Let her be." "She had a horrible day today." "Yeah?" "But it's great here." "There aren't fountains like this in the US." "A place like this helps you forget all your cares." "Come on, let's play." "You wanted coffee." "It's not bad." "Tastes great." "I felt horrible today." "But not anymore, now that the kids are happy." "Why do you think these dog tags were around your neck?" "How am I..." "How would I know that?" "If you're serious about being a prosecutor..." "Then go after the fool who did this to me." "How can someone do this to a well-known congressman?" "!" "I will go after him." "But right now, I'm more curious as to why he dropped you off with me." "I don't know." "Find him and ask him yourself." "Then we'll have to get to the bottom of this in court." "Look here." "The same thing can happen to your own father." "Don't you dare insult my father." "Fine, fine, that's enough." "Wait and see." "Jang Pil-jae." "Yes?" "Kim Mi-ok." "Yes, sir." "Find out who these dog tags belong to." "I tried to, but I don't have access to the files." "He drooled on me again." "Kids usually drool when they sleep." "Your suit needs washing anyway." "I have my suits dry-cleaned." "What?" "Do-jin." "We're home, wake up." "Huh?" "We're home already?" " Yeah." " Night." "Thank you." "Good night." "I'm cold." "Let's go inside." "Inside where?" "Your place." "You can't barge into a single woman's home." "Not many women throw me around like you do." " Hey." " It's freezing." "Prosecutor Kim Young-ju arrested congressman Lee Kyung-wan for..." "What on earth is Yoon-sung up to?" "A trial date is yet to be set." "Father" "Go ahead." "Your call has been forwarded to voicemail." "Please leave a message after the tone." "Was it a woman?" "I wonder who it was." "Does she know that you don't eat any vegetables?" "Why is there no meat in this?" "I need some protein." "I doubt you did anything worthwhile." "Give me some tofu, then." "Eat the beans in the rice." "That's protein, too." "I hate beans." "Hey." "Young-ju's on TV." "Look at him, working so hard." "All you do is complain about your food." "He's going after criminals regardless of their title or influence." "You need to learn from him." "Is he doing that great a job?" "You bet." "It's great to know there are people like him out there." "We asked members of the public what they thought of the situation." "Congressmen are all corrupt." "They only care about themselves." "And they get away with almost everything." "How about we just get rid of them all?" "Who are we to trust if they're so corrupt?" "That person who hunted down Lee, the City Hunter." "He's the one we should be rooting for." ""City Hunter"?" "I like that nickname." "The City Hunter who hands out justice." "Who is it?" "Who is it?" "Who is it?" "Don't you have tofu?" "Shall I buy some for you?" "All you have is kimchi?" "Why?" "Why are you eating here?" "Sorry." "Mr. Lee." "Take this." "You seemed to like it." "No thanks." "I'm fine." "My aunt makes me kimchi all the time." "Take it while you can." "I don't have much to share." "My car will reek of kimchi." "This box is smell-proof." "Thanks for making the kids smile." "Goodbye." "Father" "Hello." "That was it?" "That's your idea of ruining him?" "Why did you hand him over to a prosecutor?" "No prosecutor in Korea will ever take someone like Lee to court." "I have hope in the system." "You shouldn't t." "Your idealism will let you down." "You should have killed him." "This is the only way to make sure the public never forgives him." "What's all this?" "Kitchenware." "Korea is heaven. one phone call and they'll deliver almost anything." "See this frying pan?" "It's non-stick." "You don't even need to use oil." "See this pot?" "It steams things without water." "This was free." "I just love this country." "Wifey." "You should've been here to enjoy this life with me." "Poor wifey." "Oh dear." "Whose card did you pay with?" "Yours." "I don't have a credit card." "Have you lost your mind?" "I bought all this so I can cook for you." "Are we married?" "Is this your dowry?" "Hey." "I cook for you with love." "You have no right to complain." "Did you locate your mom?" "She's alive, right?" "Why should I find her?" "She's the one who abandoned me." "She's still your mom." "Blood ties last forever." "Enough." "I'm tired." "Yoon-sung." "Yoon-sung." "That fool..." "Time to put these away." "I knew he cares." "He just pretends not to." ""Palpan House"?" "I just don't understand." "We tracked the IP to the Blue House, but that's it." "I think someone hacked into our system." "I'm embarrassed this happened under my watch." "I deserve to die, Mr. President." "No, chief." "It's my fault because I'm the one who let this happen." "Mr. President." "You can kill me instead." "All we need to do is upgrade parts of the system that let us down." "What worries me more is that a congressman stole from the people." "To think that kids went starving..." "I'm not surprised the people are angry." "Minister." "I want you to make an example of Lee." "See to it that he is punished according to the law." "I will." "Another thing." "There were three dog tags around Lee's neck." "Dog tags?" "Yes." "All three belonged to men... who went missing in action on the same day in October 1983." "They were all in the special forces." "I restricted their records just in case." "Sir." "Do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Do you know where this building is?" "Isn't this the old Palpan House?" "Do you know anyone who would know about this place?" "Isn't this Kyung-hee?" "Yes, it is her." "She was one of our popular waitresses." "oh, was she?" "Do you happen to know where she lives now?" "Yoon-sung." "I have something for you." "What is it this time?" "An iron?" "Pickled crabs?" "Just in case you don't know, I get a text each time you buy something." "It's not about shopping." "I found it." "Found what?" "Your mom's address." "I think I know where she lives." "Aren't you happy?" "overjoyed?" "I told you before." "That's your cue to smile." "You found who?" "Mom?" "Whose mom?" "I don't have a mom." "Hey." "Don't do this again." "I don't have time to look for someone who abandoned me." "I'm busy." "Get out." "Here's her address." "In case you change your mind." "Mommy's Snacks" "Here you go." "Tell me if you want more." "Thanks." "Here's your soup." "Welcome." "Are you Ms. Lee Kyung-hee?" "Yes, I am." "Someone would like to see you." "Who?"
