I'm sorry.
I don't have the energy to face you right now.
I've depleted all my energy.
With the way you're always blowing up like that...
what energy would you have left?
No kidding.
But...
what you said wasn't wrong.
When you knocked them down for their...
lack of poise, materialism, and their unscrupulous ways earlier...
For the way you mercilessly ridiculed them for their unacceptable behavior...
I sincerely applaud you for it.
What are you saying?
I just complimented you.
What do you think?
Don't you feel a little better... and your energy a bit more recharged?
Not at all.
Was it not enough?
You want me to toss you up in the air or something?
If you really want to do something for me.
Then, knock me once on the head.
You want me to do what?
Knock me on the head, or on my ear. I'm fine with whichever.
Or you can even punch me in the mouth.
Just wherever.
You're not... regretting it, are you? That would be so uncool, and uninteresting.
Of course.
In the time it took me to walk here... I've regretted a hundred times over.
Just why... and what did you regret a hundred times over?
Are you asking because you really don't know?
I...
I'm a member of a small minor party that consists of only two votes.
We're powerless party that's as close as you can get to being a non-partisan party.
Even though they are our opposing party, if the Minor Party doesn't include us...
we won't have the ability to do anything.
I was already being pushed around by the Greater Korean Party as it was
but how much worse is it going to get now?
Realistically speaking...
those guys are like boulders, and we're like little quail eggs.
That's the difference in our powers.
And if you're going to knock a boulder...
you really need to knock it when it's really needed, when it's important and the right way.
I can't believe I acted like such a buffoon and threw a fit like I did today.
How is it that I don't even have an ounce of self-control and...
- Hey, look! - You got hit because you asked for it.
Even if you were going to hit me, you should've given me a warning first.
- Let's go grab a drink somewhere. - Say what?
I'm guessing that you could use a drink.
That is true...
but why with you of all people?
Because I happen to be standing in front of you right now...
and because you happen to be standing in front of me right now.
Two people who are both in need of a drink are standing in front of each other.
Do we need any other reason than that?
If you don't want to, then forget it.
Then what? You lost him?
I lost him long before that.
What are you talking about?
A few of the leaders were making some suspicious moves, so I followed them...
but they evaded me like a ghost.
Really?
The constitutional ruling...
it just means that even if you cheat, you just need to score points to pass.
It's just an example of injustice.
Hi, Hee Sun.
Okay, Reporter Ahn.
I don't know. I wasn't aware of it.
Yeah... it's just all speculation.
- Is something going on? - Did something happen again?
No, it's nothing like that.
Should we just pour our own drinks, or would you like me to pour you one?
Let's pour our own.
What about the drink glasses?
Should we cheers or what?
Well...
Why?
What?
I was just wondering about how...
I ended up being here right now.
I'm racking my brain to figure out the answer.
I'm stranded on a deserted island right now...
but there's one other person on the island besides me.
But of all people, that person happens to be you.
And the same applies to me.
- So, we have no choice but to converse. - Unfortunately enough, with human beings...
- we're social creatures in need of conversation. - Unfortunately, it's true.
Then in the spirit of conversing with one another, let me ask you something.
Just why in the world do you live like that?
Just because you live like that...
just because you go around spitting fire, does anyone even take any notice?
Does the citizens of this country noticed that?
Whether they notice it or not is pretty irrelevant.
It's my job and I have to do it.
So, I just work hard to fulfill my responsibilities...
and diligently keep going down the path that I'm meant to go on.
But what does that do for me? Absolutely crap.
To be honest, all human beings have some level of greed...
and they have the desire to be recognized.
Even fruit trees and plants grow taller and more bountiful when you show it love.
But, all we get are nonstop insults.
Getting recognition for a job well done, and praised for our efforts would...
I guess...
I didn't help matters by going around getting angry at everyone.
I didn't do any good either.
It's really discouraging.
I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
Then quit.
- Like you did? - Like I did.
Why?
Let's just say that I don't want to be on par with you.
Then what about you?
How did you end up like this?
Are you referring to how I became involved in politics?
In all my life, it's the most irrational...
most indiscernible... most foolish decision...
let's just say that it's the biggest mistake that I've ever made.
You know that we made a deal, right?
If I leave, you're going to come after me.
I'm under your thumb.
I saw you once during my campaign.
Can you stop for a minute?
There's something even more important than that.
Let me ask you something.
Why is it that the political scene...
no matter who is in the office, and what takes place...
it's always the same thing?
Why do you think it's so backwards?
It's...
because of the crooked system.
The system that's in place was all wrong from the very beginning.
I'm... trying to reverse that.
Rip everything out...
and put a new system in!
A brand new system!
An honest political office, prosecutor's office, and also...
Can you please keep it down?
An honest political office, an honest prosecutor's office...
and honest system, that's what I promise you!
You looked like you were doing a presidential campaign instead of a general campaign.
Laugh at me all you want.
Was it all a lie?
What you said about ripping out the old political office and putting in a new one...
were they all lies and deception?
I'm sure that you're at least old and intelligent enough to know that...
life doesn't always go the way you planned for it to go?
So, you had the big dreams and ambition...
but things didn't go the way you wanted.
Taking words out of context like that isn't always the right thing to do.
Then what about you?
Is your life going the way you planned for it to go?
No.
My life keeps diverting it's path away from my plan.
I'm sure it's not as bad as mine.
My life plan never included anything about becoming bait for a sneaky plan...
or getting smacked in the head with a fire extinguisher by a woman.
In one word, you became the biggest unknown variable in my life.
I see.
Hey...
I'm sorry.
I just...
suddenly find both you and I to be so pitiful.
You're... the crying type?
Getting drunk and crying... that's the worst.
I can't stand that!
Yeah...
that's me.
I'm the type of woman you can't stand.
I start to cry as if there's a water leakage in my eyes whenever I drink.
Are you drunk?
I must be.
How...
can you get drunk so suddenly without any telltale signs or warnings?
No kidding.
If they call themselves politicians, they should practice politics.
All they do the moment they lay eyes on each other is fight.
But, they're good enough friends and they will do any for each other when in need.
Best friends.
Seriously...
Hey... you don't know the Korean language, right?
No, I don't know.
Okay. You can't know.
This is against regulations for the members of the parliament.
A four year term in the office is shorter than a fruit-fly's life span.
You really don't know the Korean language?
I really don't know.
Yeah... it's all rotten.
That's the problem with Korean politics.
Who's calling now?
Hey, can you hand me the phone?
Hey, how do you understand everything that I'm saying?
Yes, Reporter Ahn.
To what do I owe the pleasure of this phone call?
Can you talk?
Yes, of course, I can talk. I can totally talk.
Even if I couldn't I'd still take it. It is you calling me after all.
But anyways... is Chairman Ahn, I mean, is your father doing well?
I'll set up a meeting sometime.
But anyways, Representative Moon...
- I already know everything. - Huh?
