Assembly (어셈블리 / Eosembeulli)

All characters, party names, and incidents

appearing in this drama are fictitious creations.

What do you want to ask me?

Oh, there is a matter we are internally investigating.

Internal investigation?

You know Hanmin Bank?

Hanmin Bank...

You received a shopping bag with money in it from the bank president's secretary

and delivered it to Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil, right?

Tell me, did you deliver it to Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil or not?

6th Day of the Parliamentary Inspection.

Topic...

Episode 16.

Dong Cheon. - Yes.

You didn't leak this questionnaire to the Ministry of the Environment, right?

Absolutely not.

Oh, wait...

I guess even a busy person like you

participates in the parliamentary inspection?

Because I'm an assemblyman before being a secretary general. - Yeah...

How do you find your first parliamentary inspection? Doable?

Haven't you seen the mid-term announcement from

that Parliamentary Inspection Monitor or something?

I made the candidate list for being the best

assemblyman during the parliamentary inspection.

That deserves congratulations.

Shall I tell you one more thing I should be congratulated on?

Our party conducted a public opinion poll in Gyeongje City yesterday.

Secretary General, you got 35% and I, 58%.

Public opinion is like a lover just before jilting you. Don't count on it too much.

Didn't I tell you before

that I would never lose to you, if only for Hyung Dal Soo's sake?

I... will trample you.

There is a fact that you must be aware of, too.

That this inspection is the first and last parliamentary inspection for you.

Ah... just one look and I can tell

you are brewing some stinking sh*t. I better be careful.

Then.

2015 Parliamentary Inspection by Environment and Labor Committee.

See this, okay? See this right now.

These are the numbers showing marine pollution

due to the industrial wastewater in Gyeongje City.

Look, in BOD from 5

to 16.4, 4.5 to 18.95 in COD. Take a look!

How many times is this!

Are you going to kill them all?

Are you crazy?!

What are you doing not managing these things!

Are you going to kill everyone in Gyeongje City?

Don't touch the glasses!

I'll give this to you, so take it home and study it.

Take a very careful look.

Frame it, put it up on the wall and study it everyday.

Play it, Secretary Park.

A group of experts, my staff and I

personally went down to Gyeongje River and tested the water quality.

Our Director of Korea Water Quality Management Company, take a look.

Take a good look. Is that a river now?

Huh?

Does that look like a river? What do you see?

Does it seem like sewage water?

Do you think that was pumped from a septic tank?

That is none other than the Gyeongje River. The current.

Gyeongje River where all fishes have died out!

Huh?! What are you going to do about it?

What are you going to do about all those fishes? You hurry and revive them now!

Moving on to the next one.

Do you see that, huh?

Are you tending a green tea field in the river, now?

Green tea field, green tea field? What are you going to do?

What kind of management work are you doing, seriously!

Stop fidgeting with your glasses. Why do you, why...

I even personally brought a sample.

Do you see this? I thought you might not believe it. I didn't

put anything in it, I just ladled this out, personally.

Taste it.

Here, this too. You are getting plenty today.

Why are we not prepared?

Are you sticking it to me?

From tomorrow until the end of the parliamentary inspection,

prepare all questionnaires like that. Go back to your seat.

Only my aides can do it. Not everyone is capable of that.

And do you admit this levee construction in Gyeongje City was done shoddily?

It wasn't shoddy work.

Not shoddy work? Are you sure?

You can get punished for perjury during a parliamentary inspection. Don't you know?

Seeing how you're touching your glasses, it is a lie. Fine.

I will read you all of the materials I prepared.

First... Ah, ah, ah. Chairwoman, please give me more time.

Enough already. Other assemblymen have to question too.

But I have to do everything I prepared. When I came with this much preparation...

If you do everything at the beginning, what does that make us?

Are you the only one doing the parliamentary

inspection? When we've prepared as much as you?

Wow, between fellow party members, you're so petty.

Assemblyman Jin, I will give you my five

minutes of additional question time. Use that.

Aigo, thank you, Assemblywoman Cheon! Aigo, thank you.

Did you see that? When even an opposition party assemblywoman is like that?

But please give it to me quickly, the 5 minutes?

Oh, it's working well.

Witness, from now on, to the questions I ask

answer in no uncertain terms. Understand?

Are you really not going to submit the materials?

Don't you know this is against the Board of Audit and Inspection Act?

What? A meal?

That place's taste has changed, unlike the good old times. But I know...

Now, did I ask for a meal or materials? It's not like I'm going around hungry.

Send them to me by midnight. Hang up.

But what do they take an aide for?

Rain, rain. Eat the rain man.

Which one do I eat? Which one?

Of course you have to eat ssangpi. That's right!

Rain ssangpi.

That's right.

What are you doing?

I'm just taking a breather from making press materials.

I'm going to go to Aide Choi and tell on you.

It's fun, right? Right?

So much fun. You can't lose the money I've won.

I got it, I got it.

Just because they don't have to work on questionnaires, they are being too much.

Yes, why?

Environment and Labor Committee Meeting Room.

Aide Seo, you did write a questionnaire to support companies

with innovative environmental technologies, right?

Yes, but why?

But the Assemblyman does not have it.

What did you say?

When I worked so hard to make this questionnaire,

how can you take this out?

It does not fit the tone of the Assemblyman's legislative activities.

But that the government should give some support to companies

that come up with cutting-edge new technologies...

Why does that not fit the Assemblyman's tone?

It does not fit.

Look here, Aide Choi. Even though you're the

senior aide, this is exceeding your authority.

I'm in charge of questionnaires.

I was not going to bring this up, but

that questionnaire. Didn't a new technology company solicit you to write it?

What? What do you take me for...

Special interest legislation after getting

lobbied for it, that is not the only evil thing.

Making special interest questionnaires like this one after

getting solicitations, that practice also has to disappear!

Since the Assemblyman does not know about this, be

careful not to repeat this sort of thing in the future.

What do you mean the Assemblyman doesn't know?

Do you even know who that company owner is?

Who? - President Lee Taek Jo of SOI.

Lee Taek Jo?

I mean that $5000 designer watch that almost cost Secretary Kim his job...

The person who gave that.

The Assemblyman returned that watch.

Who returned what now?

When the giver says he didn't get it back.

What? - How could I stick it out without writing him that questionnaire?

Give it to me. I will return it to President Lee.

It's okay. The punk who received it must return it.

Parliamentary inspection is no small job.

Really...

Aide Choi, get me Assemblywoman Hong Chan Mi's address.

So I can try to see her.

Give me an honest answer to the question I'm about to ask.

Why are you like this again all of a sudden? What is it?

What did you do with that designer watch you

had received from President Lee Taek Jo?

I got cash for it and bought bread for homeless people.

Don't joke around!

I'm not joking.

You are not joking?

If you don't believe me, ask Gyu Hwan.

He worked like a dog for several days because of that.

Didn't you say you exchange emails everyday?

Why don't you just confess?

From a trustworthy source,

we got very detailed information about your involvement

in the delivery of the bribe before summoning you.

Because I was not convinced by Chief Secretary Lim's transcript alone,

I put temptation in the Assemblyman's way.

Pleading the fifth, may get you left holding the bag.

Fine. Why don't you just leave for today?

Take out money from the Assemblyman's salary

tomorrow and buy the exact same watch as the one President Lee gave.

Okay.

Forget it, why do that?

You stay quiet, Assemblyman.

Clearly you have violated the Political Funds Act.

But, just... It's just, it's okay.

If I had that kind of money, I'd rather buy my Joo Hee some clothes.

Would it have been any better to do that?

Are you some sort of a benevolent thief who robs from the rich to give to the poor?

Why did you buy homeless people bread, why?

Then, should I have bought those people in poor health

alcohol? Of course I should have bought them bread.

Assemblyman!

I am sorry. At that time, I did not know

that things would get this serious.

You just try this one more time. Then, I'm really going to cane you.
