When AlphaGo, the AI program, first came out,

some have predicted that AI robots will replace certain jobs.

Soon, we might be able to see AI judges in court.

FINAL INTERVIEW WITH SILVER LINING

The Supreme Court is considering

using AI programs in damage suits.

Here's your soup.

-There. -Thanks.

Hello.

Hi. How many?

Three. Do you have a table for three?

Over there. You can choose the one you like.

Man, this place is full.

Excuse me, but aren't all news programs live?

They are.

But he's…

Oh, that's an AI anchor.

You can make it look and sound like the anchor.

Just like the anchor?

Man.

What a strange world we're living in.

-Enjoy. -Thank you.

Which one should I order?

Oh.

Are you eating alone?

I'm here for an update today.

I see.

Thanks to you, I can now eat during the noon news.

You can lose your job, you know.

What?

If you can't prove that you're better than him,

it might actually happen.

You sound very confident.

If you're so confident,

why don't you share this on the Nine O'Clock news?

Tell everyone about Silver Lining's master plan.

-Why would I? -Please be our special guest.

I have that much power.

Do you know how many followers Silver Lining has?

Our social media channel is more influential than the news.

So I don't see any reason why I should be there.

You don't have to take a friendly offer as an attack.

Looks like you're one of those who like to make enemies.

I'm one of those who say facts.

EPISODE 2 UNLOCKED

BARO

So you're saying

CEO Kim Seon-ju was attacked

and his soul is trapped in the phone?

Yes, and you picked up the phone.

How are you seeing things and speaking right now?

I'm seeing through the camera lens

and speaking through the speaker.

Phones these days are really advanced.

Then explain this too.

Here. Do you see this?

The famous Kim Seon-ju is attacked, but no one's talking about it.

If they are capable of attacking the famous Kim Seon-ju,

They can cover it up as well

I feel like this is a scam.

Then don't do it.

There are tons of people who want one billion won.

Right. That 100 million won you sent me. Is that real?

Check yourself if you want.

You think I can't?

Spending money is easy.

I've always wanted those wireless earbuds.

SB ELECTRONICS, LINEAR 3 SALE PRICE: 350,000 WON

It'd better be real money.

PURCHASE COMPLETED

Wait, that actually worked.

ACCOUNT BALANCE: 99,704,600 WON

Oh, my God.

What do I do?

It's so hot.

Is this really happening to me?

Hold on.

Is this like The Truman Show?

THE PARK IN-SEONG SHOW

A person locked up in a phone? How could he believe that?

What an idiot.

But it's one billion won. You would've fallen for it too.

-I know, right? -This is hilarious.

Hi, CEO Park.

-Hey. -Congratulations.

This feels so strange.

Isn't it strange that I'm a CEO now?

What are you talking about?

Why can't you be the CEO of Silver Lining,

the biggest company in Korea and Bumyoung Group's subsidiary?

What?

What's this?

Is it a bib?

And what's with the Superman hair?

Here. Congratulations on the promotion.

LED, THE LIGHT OF MIRACLE!

This LED mask has been certified

by the safety standards of the MFDS and the MOTIE.

The light coming from the 220 LED chips penetrates deep into your skin,

making your skin firm and bright.

What?

What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

Gosh!

Let's keep calm and see the facts.

Park In-seong.

Think rationally.

This is a dream.

This is reality.

Dream.

Reality.

Dream.

Reality.

Dream.

Reality.

Dream.

In-seong, the dinner's ready.

Reality.

All right.

Let's think of this as playing a CEO character.

I, Park In-seong,

am going to show them my best acting ever!

I think I gave you enough time.

I've made up my mind.

You can just put your fingerprint on this contract.

I'll send you the signed contract via email.

In-seong, come on. Let's eat.

Can I ask you one last question?

This will literally be your last question.

Because from now on, you'll have to do as I say.

I've been thinking about it, and I just don't get it.

If you're really Kim Seon-ju…

I mean, if you're really Silver Lining's CEO, Kim Seon-ju,

why me…

Of all people

Why did you choose me?

If this was just a fling

Did you start singing again?

How stupid of me to expect

that my boy came to actually help me out.

It's not that.

I was practicing for the company's talent show.

What?

I got a job in Silver Lining.

What?

Sil… What?

I've never heard of that company.

Do they sell jade mats?

Silver Lining, a leading IT company with future technologies,

has long been the most popular company among job applicants.

Even old people in small villages

should know this global company.

Small village?

Is it just me, or does the phone sound mad?

Does this mean you got a job in a big company?

Oh, dear God.

This is amazing. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

-I CAN'T FIND IT. -YOU CAN GO NOW.

BUMYOUNG GROUP

I heard a magpie sing this morning.

I bet something good will happen to you in Seoul.

Okay.

Keep playing with the phone and ignore your parents.

I'm so proud of you.

All right.

PARK IN-SEONG HAS TRANSFERRED 50,000,000 WON.

What? 50,000,000 won?

I was sending the money.

What…

Where did you get all this money?

It's my security deposit.

You got it already?

Your landlady is as fast as lightning.

Where will you be staying then?

The company provides dorms for its employees.

It's a big company, you know.

But I feel bad taking this.

I'm sorry I haven't been a good son.

Use that for what you need.

And build a big greenhouse for the Shine Muscat farming.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Are you sure you don't have to follow him?

No. He's going to the village head to brag about this.

I see.

My baby. I'm so proud of you.

You can practically do anything with a smartphone.

Of course you can trap a person in it.

LINEAR 3

Are you asleep?

Kim Seon-ju never takes a nap.

I live my life to the fullest.

I see.

By the way,

I know you sent the emails to your employees in advance,

but will they really accept me as the new CEO?

They won't trust you.

But they'll trust my decision.

Because they trust me, and I have power.

You don't have to do anything.

I'll make you a CEO.

But before that, we need to go somewhere.

SEOUL

Man, 530,000 won for a pair of pants?

Excuse me, sir. But that's the price of the belt.

This suit costs 5.3 million won.

What? Five million…

Where are you going?

It's too expensive. I'll just find something online--

-Buy it. -What?

And pay with this.

It looks good on you.

It looks great on you.

Very nice.

Get that one too.

The sunglasses should be oversized. They're more stylish.

In-seong?

In-seong?

In-seong, enough. Stop.

No social media.

It's on the contract.

NO SOCIAL MEDIA

I wonder what's in there.

This is great.

Do bath bubbles normally disappears so quickly?

It wasn't like this on TV or movies.

I should've brought my scrub towel.

This is nice.

This is so nice.

Here. I'll pay with this.

You can pay for the room service when you check out.

Oh, right.

Right. It was like that in Las Vegas.

Sorry I ate all this alone.

Aren't you hungry?

Maybe I should charge the phone to make you feel full. Where's…

I've never felt hunger in here.

What about sleep?

Can you sleep?

I don't have time to sleep. I have so much work to do.

What?

I need to know what happened in the mountain that day.

Somehow, I have no memories of the week before that accident.

Could it be post-traumatic stress disorder?

Maybe that caused the memory loss.

So I checked my schedule through Baro.

That day, I had a golf meeting with the Bumyoung family.

And I was on my way to the camping ground to see my daughter.

Princess, I'm sorry I'm late.

My GPS tracker history matches with the schedule.

Then how…

And this is the strange part.

That's a mountain road.

To get to the place where you found this phone,

I had to climb the mountain from here.

And there weren't any hiking trails.

What happened to the car you were driving?

I've been searching for the car online, but I found nothing.

It's probably junked already.

I need more clues.

But it's not easy inside a phone.

So this is what I should help you with.

I need to know if I really went to the golf course

and why I had to get out of the car in the middle

and climb the mountain.

I need to know the truth

to know why on earth this happened to me.

So I can be a CEO again

and a father again.

Okay.

It's okay.

Is this the head?

Mr. Sim.

Did you hear from Mr. Kim?

You can't still reach him?

You said you'd known him since he was a baby.

Do you know anyone who might know where he is?

Well, he's a businessman.

He might be traveling abroad for business.

Or…

He's been working nonstop these days, so…

But he never takes vacations on impulse.

Which is why we can never take vacations.

What are you doing?

What?

Why would you put the phone here?

Doesn't everyone keep their phone next to them when they sleep?

Are you sure you want to sleep with some other man?

What? I'm not sleeping with you.

Jeez.

Do you want me to turn off the phone so you can rest?

Just leave it.

I'm not sure if I'll still be here after that.

Let me ask you something before I go to work.

Why me?

You said you were eliminated after the final interview.

That means you have no connections

in my company.

So I got in because I have no connections.

And I got in as the CEO.

Sleep tight.

You're going to get tired from tomorrow.

Wait.

What is it?

Remove the case.

If they see you carrying my phone, they'll suspect you.

Before you go, there are a few things you must remember.

Morning.

Bumyoung's Executive Manager Oh Mi-ran.

Her father, Oh Bum-geun is the founder of the company.

Since he fell ill last year,

she's practically the president of the company.

As the biggest shareholder of Bumyoung Motor Group,

she's expecting to complete the self-driving car project,

beat her uncle,

and officially take over the presidency.

That's our goal. Thank you.

Then she must be eager to cooperate with Silver Lining,

as they can produce the brain of self-driving cars.

And the vice-president, Oh Young-geun doesn't want that.

He's even served time for his brother.

That's how feisty he is.

He's also extremely loyal to Bumyoung.

I bet he's not satisfied with his current position.

MOU SIGNING CEREMONY

So you're like a bystander randomly caught up in a fight.

Silver Lining is not just a bystander.

We're the kingmaker, that can turn anyone into a king.

Mr. Kwak will be waiting for you.

He's a typical kiss-up, kick-down man.

He's from Bumyoung Electronics.

Oh Young-geun has planted him to keep me in check.

Today is the new CEO's first day at work.

Let's all give him a warm, truthful welcome.

-All right? -Yes, sir.

All right. Keep calm.

Make yourself presentable.

Is this normal?

It wasn't, when I was their boss.

Now they have a new boss, they've become corny.

Sir.

Welcome.

Act natural.

What are you doing? Go!

Park In-seong, don't be scared.

You were one of the best actors of the Evergreen Theater.

I've played all kinds of characters.

And I always gave my best.

This is my stage.

And now, I'm a boss.

Sound.

Speed.

-Camera. -Rolling.

Take 1-1.

Ready.

Action.

What's all this?

Aren't you supposed to be working now?

I hate formalities like this.

Never do this again.

Oh, I see.

Dismissed.

How was the trip? I hope it was comfortable.

Is this the Pyongyang naengmyeon guy?

Morning, sir.

-I'm your secretary, Jung Se-yeon. -Oh.

I can already see a rosy future ahead of--

You're the shirt lady. Right?

This way, sir.

Okay.

Do you know Ms. Jung?

I happened to bump into her once.

About that day…

You don't need to explain

how a mere job applicant

became the boss overnight.

-This way. -Thanks.

CEO PARK IN-SEONG

Wow.

I didn't have much time, but I tried my best.

Is there anything else you need?

This is just fine.

By the way, funny we meet again like this.

I know. It turned out that I was the interviewee

and you were the interviewer.

I knew you weren't an ordinary man.

Is that so?

You were like a secret inspector. I admire your thoroughness.

I'm sorry if I had been rude to you.

Mr. Kim told me everything through email.

Right. I know.

May I ask how you know each other?

Your age, school, hometown…

And even your look.

You two have nothing in common.

Let's say we have a special relationship.

May I ask how exactly you're special?

Well…

It's okay.

I touch him and…

Pardon?

I mean,

we advise and help each other out.

You know what I mean.

By the way, I have never been a CEO before.

Nobody was born a CEO.

You'll learn in time.

Still, I have zero experience.

Which is why you need a chance

to show your ability.

You've changed a lot.

You see,

I may not have many hairs,

but I have a very warm heart.

What are you going to do with the secretary?

-What? -I'm talking about Ms. Jung.

A lot of CEOs prefer to work

with the secretaries they've been working with, so…

What should I do? Should I change the secretary?

Ms. Jung and I have been working together for a long time.

She can keep secrets, and she never shows emotions.

Then I'll keep her.

But it also means she's hard to read.

And since she knows me well,

there's a high chance she will find out about us.

Then I'll replace her right now.

She knows not only my work schedules

but also my personal schedules.

I'm sure she joined me to that last golf meeting.

I guess then we can get some clues from her.

Ms. Jung is our most reliable ally,

MOTOR FAN

but at the same time, she can be our deadliest enemy.

What should I do now?

Go to my room

and connect my phone to the computer.

Why…

Hey! Lady!

-Are you out of mind? -I'm so sorry.

I told you not to keep the cart in front of the restroom!

-Look. -I was mopping, so--

-Look. Someone fell. -I'm sorry.

How many times did I tell you this?

-You don't need this job, do you? -I'm sorry.

That was my fault. I was looking at my phone.

-Clean it up. -Just go.

Come on. Clean it up.

You see, I didn't want to say this,

but this is why you're still a janitor at that age.

I really didn't want to say this,

but this is why you're still a part-timer at that age.

I'm on my stage, and here, I'm in charge.

Ready, action.

Stay low. Don't attract attention.

Clean up.

Hey, you're not the only one working here.

Damn, this is annoying.

You don't need this job, do you?

Who are you?

I really didn't want to say this,

but this is why you're bullying the weak at that age.

That didn't feel good, did it?

Hey, kiddo.

Do you know who I am?

I'm Nam, the leader of the sales team.

Which team are you in?

CEO PARK IN-SEONG

He's our new CEO, Mr. Park In-seong.

Mr. Park, we've got to go.

Thank you.

What you did just now was a breach of contract.

Starting now, we're adopting the three-strikes law.

I'm sorry.

I've always wanted to try it. You know, bossing around.

First day at work is hard.

Right. You told me to connect the phone to the computer.

Yes. I need to check

if there had been an attempt to hack Baro 4.0 recently.

Oh, it's a beta version.

So it's not complete yet.

It needs more testing.

I see.

BARO VOICE

There's Son Heung-min too?

Because we're collaborating with him.

With just an hour of recording,

we can create your voice sample too.

It's the same thing as recovering deceased singers' voices

so we can listen to them sing the latest songs.

But I took one step further.

Baro, what should I wear today?

The current temperature is 18°C.

I suggest a dress for the nice spring breeze.

All right. A dress, it is.

Baro, what should I wear today?

The current temperature is 18°C.

I suggest a dress for the nice spring breeze.

What an idiot.

Until now, AI robots were programmed

to give the same answers to the same questions.

But Silver Lining is developing a customized AI assistant

based on the deep-learning technology.

Not the uniform

and so-called versatile AI,

but AI that can think, judge, and talk

like Son Heung-min, my mother, and me.

That will be Baro 4.0.

I see. And you're testing it yourself.

You don't need to know any further.

But I'm the CEO. I need to know--

I trust you

because you don't know anything.

The more you know,

the less I'll trust you.

This is CEO Kim Seon-ju of Silver Lining.

I'm writing this email

to request you to grant me a sabbatical for a health issue

and allow me to appoint a new CEO.

Move!

I said, move!

-Get out of my way! -Sir.

Sir.

I said, move.

What are you trying to pull here?

Calm down, Mr. Oh.

You're now in the office of Bumyoung's President.

That's right.

When your father was here,

we had basic manners in this room.

How could he take a sabbatical at a crucial moment like this?

Maybe he has a situation

at a crucial moment like this.

And that new CEO is still wet behind the ears!

The board members won't let this happen.

I'm the biggest shareholder of Bumyoung, and I let him do it.

Which board members are you talking about?

Let's wait and see.

Gold will shine

and iron will rust.

Bumyoung…

BUMYOUNG ELECTRONICS BUMYOUNG MOTOR GROUP

The electronics belongs to Young-geun.

And…

The motor group belongs to…

Mi-ran.

So you're saying, as Silver Lining's stock rises,

Bumyoung Electronics' value will fall deeper.

You're smarter than you look.

Silver Lining and Vice-President Oh were born to be rivals.

Who is it?

This is the list of new secretary candidates Mr. Kwak made.

All four of them can start working from tomorrow.

There must've been a misunderstanding. I didn't decide to…

You're not listening to me again.

Mr. Park, this is a warning.

Our deal was to make me a CEO,

not your avatar.

In-seong.

Mr. Park.

Perfect.

Now straight down to…

I'm so sorry for troubling you to come all the way here.

I would've come to you if you had called me.

Here.

Oh, did you review it already?

Would you like to see your replacements too?

Pardon?

Why did you give the list of next secretaries to Ms. Jung?

Because that's her job.

Did you have to make her deliver

the list of her replacements?

But this is common practice.

Then change now.

As long as I'm the CEO of this company,

no matter what position,

no one should be backstabbed

or pushed around.

I heard something happened in the lobby.

-What are you doing? -What?

Let go!

What's wrong with you?

Hey.

I know her.

I told you not to come to my workplace.

I said I only trust money.

Now, I don't have to see you anymore.

Where did you get the money?

Does it matter?

If it's dirty money, will you not take it?

Write me a receipt.

A receipt saying that the debt is settled.

What are you talking about? You still owe me 50 million.

I'm not running a charity here.

You've got to pay the interest too.

This is why I've been telling you to hurry.

I'll see you around.

Se-yeon is a good person.

So I decided to keep her.

You've known her for only 6 hours and 48 minutes now.

How do you know she's a good person?

I feel like she'll be my ally.

On what grounds?

The shirt.

Wait.

This is a woman's shirt.

My stocks never rise,

but you're rising in the world.

It's not like what you think.

What is it that I think?

What is it?

Is she pretty?

She does have a beautiful heart.

She helped me, even though I was just a stranger.

Oh, is she the shirt lady from the interview day?

-Yes. -Huh.

She's a good person.

A good person, huh?

Why are you blushing?

Hey, listen.

Let's go on a double date with the shirt lady and her friend.

I'll be your wingman.

You don't have to do anything.

She must be pretty. I can feel it.

What do you mean, the shirt?

Stop talking nonsense

and convince me

with accurate data, probability, or impeccable logic.

This is a life-and-death problem to me.

Do you think you can describe someone

only with data and probabilities?

We're humans, not AI robots.

You're wrong.

The chance that we can rely on Mr. Kwak's secretary list is zero.

But the chance that we can rely on Ms. Jung is 50-50.

Which makes Ms. Jung a better choice.

From now on, you'd better convince me like this.

So you agree with me.

And you get another strike for barging into Mr. Kwak's office.

One more strike, and you're out.

He's just a kid.

He's just driven by emotions.

There's no need to worry.

Bye.

I knew it. He's one of those lowlives.

I'll suggest the board to propose his dismissal.

What's the point of kicking the kid out?

Pardon?

Let's wait and see.

Let's give him a chance to mess up.

So I can crush Silver Lining and my dear niece together.

Yes, sir.

Right. What about the other thing?

I'm still working on it.

Good. Keep going.

I can't believe I'm living in a place like this.

I didn't know I'd be living in a place like this either.

I know, right? You're supposed to be in a 670 square meter house,

not a 6.7 inch screen.

Oh, no.

What's wrong? What is it?

It's six o'clock already.

I'm the boss,

so I can go home anytime I want, right?

But you always do anything you want.

No way.

I get that a lot from my friends.

I think we've become friends now.

Ms. Jung, aren't you going home?

It's already five past six.

These are the materials for the takeover.

I see.

You can throw them away.

Ms. Jung.

See you tomorrow.

Wow, so this is the place?

The two-story building over there. That's my house.

Wow.

When I get one billion won, I'll buy a house like this and--

You can't.

What?

With one billion, you can barely afford the master bedroom.

Looks like I can never get more than one room.

Are you sure she's coming?

Min-a likes to buy chocolate in the supermarket.

She and her nanny come back from shopping around this time.

-So that's her little luxury. -What?

Spending money on little things to be happy.

She surely knows the beauty of capitalism.

There they come.

Right. They don't know me.

Is that her?

She's really cute.

Are you okay?

After all the waiting, you saw her for just one minutes.

Let's go now.

Wait.

Someone came out. Is he going home now?

No, he's also living with us.

I see.

He's one tough driver.

Follow him.

-What? -Follow him!

Why? We came a long way.

Come on! Follow him!

What?

Seeing what happened to me,

I bet their plan has gone awry too.

They'll try to approach me, to see what's going on.

In that case, Mr. Sim makes the perfect target.

ARRIVED

Or perhaps,

he's already joined hands with them.

Go and see who he's meeting.

ESPRESSO BAR

Hello.

Who is he talking to?

What…

Why is Ms. Jung there?

Mr. Kim, look.

Go home right now.

-What? -Hurry!

Go!

But…

Take the document envelope in my study.

I'll unlock the door.

You can go in now.

The nanny must have put Min-a to bed

and be cross-stitching by now.

We have about an hour.

Now what?

I don't think I can use the main gate.

Go to the right.

Now turn left.

No, not yet.

Now, turn left here.

Man, this house is big.

Enter the door near the pool.

Don't worry about the cameras. I'll delete the footages.

You said you'd make me a boss. But you're making me a thief.

Did you think making one billion won would be that easy?

Take off your shoes.

I can't remove your footprints from here.

My study is at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

There's a person.

That's just an armor.

There's nothing inside.

We don't have time. Move on.

Ji-hye went to the first floor.

Wow.

There's a car in here.

That car is expensive. Be careful.

So where's the document envelope?

In the safe next to the desk upstairs.

Use the staircase over there.

I can't see anything because it's too dark.

Maybe we should come back when this house is empty.

You saw what's going on in the cafe.

They're already on the move. We need to get it now.

This is not a study.

It's bigger than my apartment.

There must be a safe next to the desk.

You need to enter the passcode.

It's 0630.

-It's not here. -Look carefully.

There should be an envelope in there.

It's empty.

Let me see.

But it has to be there.

Are you sure you put it in here? Maybe you misremembered.

No, I always keep it here.

What's in it though?

To find it, I need to know what it is.

Hold on. Someone turned on the light in the corridor.

Calm down and hide yourself.

What should I do now?

Keep calm.

I mean, just in case…

Ji-hye is coming to the study now.

Hurry.

What should I do now? Should I sneak out?

Gosh, you scared me.

What's up?

I heard some sound from the study.

That's not possible. Mr. Kim isn't here.

UNKNOWN

Did you hear something just now?

I did. It sounded like a phone.

Oh, it was mine.

It's Mr. Kim.

What?

What does he say?

He's giving me a raise.

It was just my phone.

Man, that was a real cliffhanger.

This is how you got in Silicon Valley.

It was so clever of you to text her at the moment.

-You can always rely on me. -You're the best.

UNKNOWN

What's this? "Unknown"?

WHY WON'T YOU PICK UP THE PHONE?

I'M THE OWNER OF THE PHONE.

What are you talking about? This is Kim Seon-ju's phone.

GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE!
