Into the Ring (Memorials / The Ballot / Chulsapyo / 출사표)

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.

Everything you wanted to accomplish as the chairman...

such as keeping the name of Sarang-dong,

moving the memorial,

and disclosing the environmental effect report...

They are all great, you know.

But not everyone is...

interested in the good cause.

And that's why...

you continued to fail.

So Representative Goo Se Ra of Mawon-gu...

was indeed summoned by the people?

I see. Okay.

That's odd.

To be summoned by the people,

the residents must have signed the petition.

How could they have gathered signatures so quietly?

I doubt that they visited each household on foot...

to gather the signatures.

You saw what happened when she was ousted.

The representatives...

They can be quiet meticulous when it comes to setting someone up.

That's true.

Well, don't you know our people's history?

Since the beginning of the 500 years of the Joseon Dynasty,

Move. - when it didn't rain,

the people even dethroned the king.

We are very democratic people, aren't we?

Goo Se Ra?

If she's not good at her job, she must leave!

All right. - What? She won't leave?

Then, we must kick her out!

Goo Se Ra keeps using Sarang-dong as leverage...

and gets in the way of the Smart One City project.

This girl, Goo Se Ra,

has no idea how the real estate market works. You know?

She's still leeching off her parents.

Of course, she knows nothing!

Hold on.

Dad.

Since the members of Aeguk Conservative Party...

gave her the chairman position,

I thought ousting her might be fair.

Well, I knew...

that from the get-go,

you were using her to oust the former chief.

But taking away her job is a different matter.

Representative Goo Se Ra doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.

Why are you telling me that?

When she became the chairman,

don't you remember what you said?

That Goo Se Ra is more than qualified...

and you'll make sure that she is.

But...

look at the result.

I bet the memorial probably got on your nerves.

Isn't there only one reason for it?

I'm not sure.

Looking for the reason now won't make any difference now.

To get what you want,

you must sell everything you have.

And that's how I got this far.

Can you do the same?

"Irresponsible Representative Goo spent the taxpayers' money..."

"for personal use."

"For personal use"? Me?

"She asked a local bank to hire her friend..."

"who helped her campaign."

I asked the bank to hire her?

You know that this is all preposterous.

"She just stood by her mother when she participated..."

"in inappropriate activities."

My mother?

Come on, Mom.

You're in a tight spot.

I saw this coming for you.

If you did, you should have told me.

Try to find a way out of this.

First of all, can you leave my office?

I think we need to keep some distance starting now.

If you have any excuses, let me hear them.

A marketing director?

It was a part-time job.

Who on earth hires a part-timer for a director position?

You said you were trying to make a good impression on Se Ra's behalf,

but you attended meetings here and there.

I knew that you were going to cause trouble like this!

Make a good impression? Why?

I wanted you to get elected in the next election too.

And I had to pay back 50,000 dollars too.

That's so stupid!

50,000 dollars?

50,000 dollars?

Oh, no. - Darn it.

What about 50,000 dollars?

Why does she owe 50,000 dollars?

Se Ra, did you do this?

No. I didn't even see that money.

Honey.

You don't have to be so negative about this...

because Se Ra ran for office in order to pay back...

50,000 dollars.

In a way,

we were able to turn our bad luck into something good.

Se Ra ran for office, so she could pay back the money...

you owe?

You were the cause of Se Ra's ridiculous attempt...

to be a politician?

Darn you!

No. - No.

Dad. - Honey.

Dad!

Don't die. You can't die on me. Not me!

Dad, breathe. Dad, breathe in and out.

I can't live alone.

Honey. - Breathe.

Honey. Sweetheart!

To get what you want,

you must sell everything you have.

And that's how I got this far.

Can you do the same?

Hello, sir. This is Seo Gong Myung.

I'm sorry to call you at this hour.

I called you to discuss Representative Goo Se Ra.

Regarding your vote to dismiss Representative Goo...

and your request to investigate the former chief,

I made some rude comments.

I'm sorry.

Gosh, no. You weren't wrong.

When Representative Goo was dismissed as the chairman,

my vote didn't count.

And I did proceed with the materials...

I received to report the former chief.

If she gave them to me,

she would have given them to me in person.

Just like you said,

I might have used Representative Goo...

with the excuse that I was giving her a chance.

That's all the more reason why I don't want...

Representative Goo to get dismissed from her post.

I need your help...

from and outside the district assembly.

I'm happy to join you.

Thank you.

Just stick to one thing.

If you're upset, don't visit me.

If you're here, don't pout.

You don't have the right to control my facial expression.

You didn't listen to me again.

You signed the form as soon as Representative Cho...

visited you.

What did he give you for signing the consent form?

Did he tell you that the memorial didn't have a place to go?

Or did he beg you to sign the form...

since you were the last one?

He said he and I were in the same boat...

although it sure didn't look like it.

Then, why did you...

When someone volunteered to look after it,

I should be thankful and sign the form.

My days are numbered now.

Why do you keep saying that?

You were sprightly when you tried to hit me that day.

You still managed to get away.

Where's your bag? Here it is.

What about my bag?

What are you looking for?

You might lose your phone.

What good is a business card?

You're about to lose your position.

Who told you that?

That Cho-something guy who came to the hospital.

"Representative Goo has been ruffling a lot of feathers,"

"and people dislike her very much."

Don't you get fired. Hang in there.

Remain district representative until the very end.

You bet.

I'll stay until my contract expires.

That night,

why were you at the construction site?

To steal the memorial.

I wanted to steal it and put it in my garden.

Open your mouth.

Eat this.

Okay, okay. Open up. This is a really tasty apple.

Come on.

The public recall voting day is...

September 9.

Se Ra. Are you entering another election?

Two weeks is a long time.
