I told him to plow the field,

but that ox has been planning something else.

Did that idiot forget who his owner is?

Who's your owner, idiot?

It's me. I'm your owner.

I'm your owner, you son of a bitch.

Small mistakes can ruin one's life.

You were enjoying your drink. What's wrong?

There's this stupid ox who won't listen to its owner.

Mr. Lee, you know what we do with an ox that won't do as it's told?

You put a nose ring on the ox and drag it around.

That way, it won't go astray.

Yes.

Hold off Tae-jun's campaign club for a while.

I can't put a saddle on him before putting on the bridle.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

One by one,

I built up everything, but it only takes one moment for it to collapse.

You left your phone on the subway.

- Thank you. - He must be an acquaintance.

He looks very ill. Are you all right?

It's none of your business.

Please excuse me.

A car suddenly falls into the road by the harbor.

The car was passing by on the overpass that was 100m above...

What's so interesting? Why are you staring at me?

Because I'm proud of you.

You've been out studying so late. You finally came to your senses.

You'll surely pass this civil service exam.

You've never really concentrated on your studies.

But I know you're very smart because you take after me. Right?

Right.

Mom, if I fail the exam again,

I'm thinking of going into a different field.

Like what?

Well, you know, if I fail. As a plan B.

You know, if you fail, I'll kill you and kill myself too.

Stop talking nonsense.

There is no better job than a civil servant in this day and age.

Next on the news.

- During this year's audit... - I'm just saying.

Bugang Electronics' unfair dismissal

- became the hot potato. - I can't believe this nonsense.

They're always fighting and wasting my tax money.

Darn it. I don't know how this country is still going strong.

The audit began with a battle over choosing the witness.

Eat up.

You're eating so well.

Although they chose CEO Lee Chang-jin

of Joojin Chemical, who illegally transferred the company...

(2018 GRADE 7 AND 9 CIVIL SERVANT EXAM)

Do-gyeong.

It's none of your business.

Please excuse me.

Shin...

(SHIN JAE-GYEONG BROUGHT UP SAFETY ISSUES, YET IGNORED)

Yes, it was "Shin Jae-gyeong."

"Yun Hye-won"? "Reporter Yun Hye-won"?

Ms. Yun?

He reacted so emotionally. This is a mess.

You even steal now?

Stealing?

If you had such an important thing, you should have kept it well.

Mr. Song went home.

Hey, Tae-jun.

It's great that you're diligent, but don't work too hard.

You and I are nothing but those old men's servants.

We bite and crawl on their order.

That's how we can get something from them.

- I just feel bad for you. - What are you doing?

Don't call him until he looks for you.

He's in a foul mood right now.

Go take a good shower and pull yourself together.

I'm almost done.

His testimony is rather detailed,

so we could definitely make a counterattack against Mr. Park.

I'll expose this at the press conference.

Can you delay that a little?

- What's going on? - I'll tell you in person.

Kim In-gyu is

my final card.

I need him.

Okay. I'll wait here.

Okay.

This year's Inspection of State Administration

came to an end after today's General Inspection.

During the audit of the Judiciary Committee,

the Minister of Justice was held responsible for perjury.

Mr. Park attended the General Inspection and denied

his charges for delaying the investigation of Bugang Electronics

by giving pressure to the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office.

It looks like he is responsible

with the exposure of new evidence of his regular meetings...

- Mr. Song, one second, please. - We'll talk later. Where's Mr. An?

- I told him to come to the restaurant. - Let's go.

Follow me in your car. You'll see something interesting.

- Where's Seon-yeong? - She isn't in the office,

and Mr. Go has been avoiding my calls.

Find her. Find her and tell her to come in now!

Yes, sir.

Why is Mr. An here?

He's the guy

who handed over Mr. Song's files to Mr. Jo.

I found the source of the flash drive that you had.

Go inside.

- It's Jang Tae-jun. - Come in.

Mr. Song...

Mr. An.

I told you that I'll find you an office at a proper time. Didn't I?

How dare you go around my back and talk to Jo Gap-yeong?

I'm sorry.

I must have lost my mind.

Well, you better go find it now.

Do you know what I threw away first when I became an assemblyman?

My sense of shame.

You can be in politics only after throwing that out.

Who do you think is the most pitiful type of people in the world?

Penniless ones with good brains.

Despite having anything,

they kid themselves thinking they achieved everything on their own.

It doesn't matter if you're an ox or a man.

You'll only come to your senses when you're starving.

Right.

What happened to the team leader of Bugang's Finance Team?

Was his name Kim In-gyu?

Yes, we're taking his testimony right now.

I'll deal with him as soon as she's done.

- Did you say Ms. Kang is with him? - Yes.

Kim In-gyu is the core witness of Mr. Park's corruption.

We need to use him to destroy a minister.

Are you sure you can leave him with her?

Ms. Kang is trustworthy.

No one is trustworthy around here!

Everyone tries to get ahead of you whenever they see a weakness, don't they?

Mr. Song.

I kept the flash drive to find out who wrote the files.

But I should have consulted you first. I apologize.

I know.

These things can happen while you work.

I doubt you'd stab me in the back like that.

I trust you.

If I don't trust you, how can I hand over my position to you?

- Isn't that so? - Yes.

I need to see Kim In-gyu.

There's no need for you to do that.

I'll take care of...

Where is Kang Seon-yeong?

Great work.

I called the prosecution. They'll take this into regard.

Thank you.

- What about the press release? - The secretary is putting it together.

Once this is released,

you'll be recognized by everyone in no time.

We need to end this well.

I keep getting calls from Mr. Jo's office. What should I do?

- What about Jungil-gu's budget? - It went in at 2 p.m.

Once it passes, we'll get a call.

Stall for more time until the budget proposal is passed.

- I can't let Mr. Jo ruin this. - Yes.

- Let's wrap up. - Okay.

(MR. OH: MS. KANG IS WITH MR. KIM)

What?

Mr. Jo, I found out where Ms. Kang is.

- Where is she? - She's at Hotel Chantier.

And she's with Kim In-gyu.

What?

Turn the car around!

That must be Mr. Jang.

What brings you here, Mr. Song?

Is he Kim In-gyu?

- Did you get his testimony? - Yes.

It'll be a huge blow for Mr. Park

when I disclose this at the press conference.

You did so much for me, so I'm worried about you.

If you disclose this yourself,

Jo Gap-yeong will find out that you helped me out.

Do you think he'll leave you alone?

I'll take that.

I can't let you keep something this dangerous.

I'll take good care of it.

- Won-sik. - Yes.

Mr. Song, but we prepared this.

I don't think it's right for you to take this.

You don't think it's right?

Ms. Kang, I thought you were on my side.

That's what I thought.

I am.

Give it to him.

- I got it. - Good.

In that case, I need to put a seal on you

that proves you're on my side.

Yes, Mr. Jo.

I'll call you again.

Mr. Jo, it's this room.

You were plotting against me in a place like this?

So, you've been digging a pit for me?

You ungrateful brat. I got you here.
