MAD CONCRETE DREAMS

ONE MONTH AGO

SEJEONG FOREST TUNNEL

ORIGINAL TUNNEL INSTANT TTEOKBOKKI

No one here's a picky eater, are they?

The food here is so good

you wouldn't notice if someone dropped dead next to you.

I see.

MAKE IT POSSIBLE

I put in extra liver and lung.

Thanks.

- Let's eat. - Yes, sure.

Pig liver

and lungs.

Why don't you young ones eat?

Do kids these days not eat sundae or tteokbokki?

Oh, vegan?

That?

I gave that a go once.

It was hard.

Wasn't it, Madam Jeon?

Jeez.

Meat is what gives you energy.

Don't eat if you don't want to.

You don't have to make a face.

Hand them over.

You all know some ruins were found at the construction site.

There's a news embargo, so don't go telling anyone yet.

Take one each.

In there are the details

of the newly assigned construction zones.

A few building owners are still holding out for more money.

FLOOR AREA RATIO INCENTIVE

Whoever obtains those buildings

will be given a stake in the redevelopment project.

You all know

how much it's worth, right?

Come on, eat.

Madam Jeon, try it with salt.

- Yes. - Good.

Try to play along from now on.

Can you do that?

Just do a good job.

MAD CONCRETE DREAMS

EPISODE 4

M&A REALTORS

- What's wrong? - Mr. Gi.

He's a scary guy.

Sell it to us officially.

This seems a bit odd.

They barged in out of the blue

and said you'd agreed to a deal.

Three billion won.

How's that?

We're giving you a premium.

I'll give you some time to consider.

You should discuss it with your family.

This is your last chance to let matters go quietly.

Gyun.

Gyun.

The coffee tastes good.

Yes.

DO NOT ENTER

OUT OF ORDER

Can't we do this with the lid down?

Does it smell that bad?

The lid's too slippery to stand on.

Are you sure this place is safe?

Of course it's safe.

Come on. Keep passing me the cash.

Let's sell this building.

All of a sudden? Why?

Let's just sell it to that Real Capital or whatever.

- Gosh, that's cold. - What did I tell you?

Hang on.

Should we just sell it, then?

Do you mean that?

Aren't you afraid at all?

Think of what it is you did.

Things did go a bit wrong

but we didn't mean any malice.

I saw in some film

that they call this "redistribution of wealth."

That's what kidnapping is?

Someone might hear us.

I'm afraid, too.

Let's sell the building and move away.

Move away? Where to?

- To the States. - The States?

Yes.

Let's move to the States with Da-rae and start over.

Let's leave before it's too late.

I don't want to live here any longer.

You still smoke?

So you can meet your maker sooner?

HANMAEUM BUILDING

If that is what my maker wishes.

This place hasn't changed one bit.

Let's get straight to the point.

Did you hear the rumor?

There's that, and I wanted to see you, too.

I see you knew.

I may not look it

but my ears still work fine.

Then I'll be straight with you.

Sell me your building. I'll give you a good price.

Has it been about 20 years

since we last talked?

Yes.

It has been that long.

Time really does fly.

You must've forgotten what I'm like.

I remember very well.

A stubborn old mule who never listens.

You don't care what happens out there.

You just go on your way.

You don't care how infuriated others get.

You're fine as long as

you can act like you're smart and noble.

How is Yi-gyeong?

Do you have the right to ask?

And you?

Do you have the right?

I considered Yi-gyeong

my own flesh and blood.

You're the one who took her from me.

Only because you were such a frustrating fool.

You still are.

When an opportunity finds you

you must think of how to grab it.

You kick the blessing out the front door.

So what?

Did it make you happy?

Your life without me.

You're putting on airs again.

Forget about that and tell me what you'll do with your building.

Did you stop to think what the price is

for chasing wealth your whole life?

Do you think you can live a decent life without money?

It's better than becoming a monster.

What, a monster?

That's what penniless people who have zero ability

to make decent money say out of jealousy.

If they were offered cash

they'd stand in line to become a monster.

Would they?

Do you want Yi-gyeong to become like you?

I won't sell my building.

Especially not to you.

Don't be too stubborn a fool.

Give it some thought.

PYEONGBUKGWAN CEO JEON YANG-JA

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD NATIONAL CHILDREN'S ESSAY COMPETITION

Shoot, why won't it open?

What a ruckus.

Did you change the PIN, Mom?

Yes, I think there's a leak.

Master Park told me to change the PIN.

You call a shaman "master"?

Forget about those superstitions.

You should've told me at least.

It's my money, not yours.

Come on, Mom.

You let me take it freely.

I need cash.

I have to pay Hwal-sung's medical bills.

You owe me three billion won.

Three billion won?

Did you just call my ransom a debt?

Financial transactions must be exact.

Fine.

Transactions must be exact, so let's say I owe you.

Since I'm in debt already, let's up the amount.

What's the collateral?

The Jayang-dong apartment that's in my name.

I'll put that up.

I changed the name on the deed long ago.

What? Whose is it now?

I bought the apartment with my money.

Whose name would it be in?

You have no idea what's going on behind your back, do you?

- You stupid thing. - Mom!

Are you even my mom?

How could you be like this?

You're the only one who stabs me in the back.

No one else treats me like this.

Just how hard it was for me

growing up without a dad under a money-mad mom.

Don't you see?

I gave up studying abroad…

Whatever.

Hwal-sung has a friend named Su-jong.

He's the guy who came to the hospital, right?

His building is included in the redevelopment area.

Set up a meeting.

What?

I don't believe this.

Su-jong won't sell that building.

Then we make him sell it.

Will this do?
