Spread it out.

How fancy, right?

This funeral must be hosted by someone successful.

PRESIDENT LEE JEONG-SU

Thank you.

Wait. Isn't that Oh Mi-ran?

Please, eat.

Isn't she Bumyoung's successor? What's she doing here?

Didn't you know?

They had a thing when they were studying in the US.

Damn.

But this is his wife's funeral.

You haven't eaten anything.

I'll stay here, sir.

I'm all right.

Where's Min-a?

IN LOVING MEMORY MS. HYEON JU-HUI

HUSBAND KIM SEON-JU DAUGHTER KIM MIN-A

EPISODE 3 UNLOCKED

Are you really Kim Seon-ju?

Do you want to start all over?

I am Kim Seon-ju.

But this person insists that he's Kim Seon-ju.

If real Kim Seon-ju was out there,

why would he just sit back and watch

someone else taking over his company?

But why would anyone send something like that?

Both the phone call and text messages were sent anonymously.

This person doesn't want to show himself.

As I said,

whoever did this to me, they didn't expect this either.

We don't know what each other has got in mind,

and they're feeling insecure.

Then what should I do now?

Nothing.

We cannot give them any clue.

This might actually be a good chance for us.

But is that really possible?

Tracking the unknown caller, I mean.

SILVER LINING APPROVAL TASKS COMPLETED

Normally, no.

But I can do it.

Because you're a smartphone?

No, because I'm Kim Seon-ju.

I can't here, though.

Why not?

Because your laptop is too old

and it doesn't have the tracking program.

Then when I go to the office tomorrow--

The one in the office won't work either.

Due to the security issue, I can only use the certified program.

But you just said you could do it.

Is there a way?

The computer in my study.

No way.

That suspense almost killed me. I can't do it again.

I can't.

I won't.

In-seong, from now on, I want you to stay in my house.

What?

Staying in a hotel can be dangerous

because people can hear or see us.

Also, this place is…

subhuman.

Are you now

telling me to move into your house?

In that magnificent…

palace?

Get yourself some cookies with this.

Thank you, sir.

This tastes amazing.

What a beautiful night.

Look. There's a pool.

I love this place.

And there's a teepee too.

You little rascal.

I was so worried about you before you got this job.

After all, you had your plan, didn't you?

I'm so proud of you.

Who's that?

Whoever that is, they're more than welcome.

Could you open the door please?

What…

I thought you'd buy me a meal for getting a job.

Did I really have to ask you for it?

Why won't you say anything?

What's up?

Sorry.

Hyun-ho.

This is just a hypothetical question.

Imagine that…

a person is trapped in a phone.

Hey.

Are you kidding me right now?

Who eats ramyeon noodles with dakgalbi? It's always udon noodles!

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Could we have some udon noodles?

Sure. One udon noodles!

Don't mix. Save the sauce for the udon noodles.

Keep going.

What about the phone again?

So a person got into an accident

and his soul is trapped in a phone.

Is that a new TV series?

It sounds fun. Which production company is it?

I want to buy their stocks.

I'm serious right now.

Oh, come on.

What about getting a radio message from the past

or a goblin and the Grim Reaper living together?

I'm saying you're saying nonsense.

Right? It doesn't make sense.

Seriously,

a person trapped in a phone?

Hold on. I think somebody is in the phone right now.

Hello?

Are you trapped in there?

I saw him off when he left for the camping,

and that's the last time I saw him.

He never came to the camping ground.

We lost him in the middle of a phone call,

and the next day, he sent us that he had a new project at work.

Then he went off the grid.

I can't reach him either.

Mr. Kim would never leave Min-a alone.

You know he wouldn't do that.

Ms. Jung, do you have any idea

where he could be?

Not that I know.

You're late.

He would keep saying that we should have another drink.

I barely managed to leave him.

Now, you have one more reason to move into my place.

Until our contract ends, no personal appointments are allowed.

In case you make a mistake.

You are so bossy.

While you were away,

I told Ji-hye and Mr. Sim about it.

Already?

The problem is Min-a.

Your daughter?

You probably don't know since you haven't had a kid,

but it's not easy to gain children's trust.

Especially, Min-a, my daughter,

doesn't trust others easily.

Oh, no. Min-a is coming. Run!

-I'll catch you. -Help!

Frog Prince, help me!

Frog Prince!

I got you.

This is really fun. Let's do it again.

Did you like it? Let's do it again then.

-I think you're very special. -Why?

My dad's friends usually give me money

and his underlings give me compliments.

No one has ever played with me before.

Look, Min-a.

You're not supposed to call other people, "underlings."

Why not?

Because no one is over or under others.

Then how should I call them?

His colleagues?

Are you two colleagues too?

Thanks for helping me.

Mr. Kim said, with you,

it'd be easier to gain Min-a's trust.

Are you talking to Mr. Kim?

What?

Do you know where he is?

It's all set now.

You can now stay in Mr. Kim's study.

Okay.

Right. I should not forget my shoes.

How did you know the study was there?

What?

Oh.

I saw you coming from upstairs, so…

Was I wrong?

I'll show you the way. This way.

Okay.

Isn't this a bit strange?

Letting some stranger be with MIn-a?

It's not like Mr. Kim.

So you said Mr. Kim had called you.

Yes.

-Could it be… -I've been working for him for decades,

it was definitely his voice and his tone.

Even the narcissism?

Then it's really him.

Some people would be intimidated by this,

but I'm strong.

-It's at the end of the corridor. -Okay.

Just like a bunny.

This is where you'll be staying.

I changed the bed sheets too.

Thanks for everything.

You're very polite.

If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me.

Will do. Thanks.

-I'll walk you out. -Please. You can go take a rest now.

I will, after you leave.

How sweet of you.

Hey, little buddy.

Still hanging in there, huh?

Sorry. I couldn't call you sooner.

Now, let's get it started.

We can track the unknown number now, right?

Yes, we can.

How long will it take?

It's only a matter of time.

You may begin now.

Is he very busy at work?

Yes.

This time, he didn't even say bye to me.

He's so mean.

He's busy.

If you see him at work, please tell him I'm mad at him.

Okay?

I will.

Shall we?

Let's begin the first nomination process of Bumyoung Dragons.

Why don't you choose one?

I don't know anything about baseball.

It's okay.

It doesn't matter who is chosen.

What matter is who chooses.

You should choose when you can.

CHO YUN-HYEONG

PARK SEUNG-HYEON

JUNG HYEON-JAE GILCHEON HIGH SCHOOL

That person.

2023 KBO DRAFT ROUND 1

Bumyoung Dragons takes Jung Hyeon-jae,

the infielder of Gilcheon High School, as the first pick.

What an unexpected choice Bumyoung has made.

I have the same question as you.

Why did Kim Seon-ju choose Park In-seong?

Please keep an eye on him.

What…

Excuse me. My mom…

I mean, Ms. Lee Jeong-yeon. Where is she?

Oh, you must be her daughter.

You didn't know?

My gosh. They have all the channels.

I had no idea you could afford all this.

This is great.

DIRECTOR OF BUMYOUNG HOSPITAL OH CHANG-MUK

I heard your mother had been getting treatment in Bumyoung Hospital.

I know how heartbreaking that is better than anyone.

Please keep an eye on Mr. Park

DANGER! FALLING HAZARD

In-seong, wake up.

In-seong, wake up.

In-seong, wake…

Rise and shine!

Gosh, why the fuss?

Am I late?

I found a way.

To track the number?

So who was it? Was it someone you know?

Mr. Sim?

-Mr. Kwak? -Well…

If I find this person now, I can get one billion won, right?

Looking back, my life has been full of pain.

Sweetie, how does it taste?

Honey, it tastes amazing.

You're Park In-seong, right?

No, I'm not.

I tried to live my life to the fullest.

Yes.

Oh, my gosh. In-seong.

Don't forget to write a review.

Other people's lives seemed to be going all right.

Very nice.

Look in the front.

Bride and groom, look at each other. Make eye contact.

Very good.

Hey, bounce card!

You've got to bounce the light onto her face.

Don't worry. The photos are great.

And it felt like I was the only one going in circles.

But I can stand tall now.

With that one billion one, I'll buy an apartment in Seoul.

You can't.

These days, one billion is not enough to buy a new apartment in Seoul.

Still, if you want one billion won, listen to what I say.

I couldn't find the number,

but we can try calling this caller back.

But if they don't answer, we can't do anything about it.

If we make the call when everyone is gathered,

the person who has this phone will ring.

You know there will be an executive meeting today.

All our enemies within and out will be there.

We must not miss this chance.

How could you not trust the executives?

Don't you think this is out of line?

Collecting phones? Are we students or what?

Jeez.

JUNG SE-YEON

I hate this new CEO.

All the phones are collected, sir.

All right.

You know phones these days are not just phones.

They work pretty nicely as recorders and wiretaps too.

I'm sure the executive of Bumyoung Electronics

are smart enough to understand this is for security reasons.

To meet Caf 21's standards,

we've fostered a positive environment for the memory production

and introduced ultraviolet technology to the DRAM industry,

improving the energy efficiency.

The CIS and DDI production and the circuit design…

I did as you said.

But do you really think it's one of their phones?

We'll see now.

If one of the phones rings…

The owner of the phone must be that person, right?

That, we'll need to ask the owner.

CALLING UNKNOWN

It's really there.

Check the name.

UNKNOWN

The vice-chairman is here.

You must be the temporary CEO.

Pleased to meet you, sir.

I'm Silver Lining's CEO, Park In-seong.

I'm Oh Yeong-geun.

Sure.

You're strong, sir.

Am I?

I guess all my efforts not to be a washed-up old man have paid off.

Is the meeting over now? Let's have a cup of tea.

Wait. No…

You can't take it back yet.

-It's gone? -Yes.

After the vice-chairman had arrived,

everyone took their phone.

And there wasn't even a sticky note on it.

Do you think it's a coincidence

that the vice-chairman walked in right at the moment?

Could it be that he came in to save someone?

At least that's what happened.

This person must be really powerful.

Do you really think I can deal with this person alone?

I won't be able to put on the earbuds,

which means you can't help me.

Now I understand

why you failed our job interview.

Pardon?

If you can't trust yourself, who would trust you?

The vice-chairman wants to see you.

Okay.

JUNG SE-YEON

OFFICE OF THE VICE-CHAIRMAN

BUMYOUNG GROUP

-He's inside. -Thanks.

I got this.

Ready, action.

Who could have possibly had the Kim Seon-ju pull the strings?

I've always wondered.

I've always wanted to meet you too, sir.

So, may I know your father's name?

Us people in this business know each other, you know.

His name is Park Jae-chun. He runs an orchard.

An orchard?

Before you came here, where were you?

I was working part-time, looking for a full-time job.

Right. I hear that's called job seekers or what.

Young people these days have no dreams nor passion.

They just want to do easy jobs.

Back in my days, people weren't like that.

Isn't it old people who made the world like this?

In this world they made, we're taught the world is unfair.

Do you know what's really unfair?

A man who hasn't even run a corner store

dare take the position of Bumyoung Group's CEO.

My son and his friends

started to learn business since they were born.

To gain that position of yours,

they had to suffer loneliness, studying business abroad.

Even now, they're worried sick about their employees,

whose lives are dependent on them.

Just because a man was an Olympic gold medalist

doesn't mean his son deserves to take part in the Olympics.

What?

Getting the chance to run a business

because their father owned the business.

That's what's really unfair.

I've never received early education or special advantages.

I had to vacuum my own room without a maid

and use my phone on buses, not in the car my driver drives.

Therefore I know what difficulties people like me have

and what technology they need in their daily lives.

I will show you.

The technology for humanity.

You're like him.

I can see you're Mr. Kim's man.

You're full of confidence.

But you know what?

Mr. Kim was a man of his word.

Is he always arrogant?

Who? You?

You heard him too.

Why would he care about what my father does?

Mr. Oh is Silver Lining's business partner.

Which means you'll have to see him quite often from now on.

Sorry. I should've been more patient.

He kind of gets on other's nerves.

Right?

That wasn't my third strike, right?

When you get back in the office,

check Mr. Kwak and Ms. Jung's phone models.

Ms. Jung's too? I thought we decided to trust her.

She was standing the closest to the phones during the meeting.

How long have you been waiting here?

-Is the meeting over? -What?

Yes.

Do you think she heard me?

Should I check?

Don't waste your time.

Oh, that's my phone.

What…

Did he just hang up?

They say no news is good news.

He's a busy kid.

Just wait until he calls you.

I called him because he didn't.

I thought I had a son, you know.

This guy is more like a son to me.

Baro.

Yes. How may I help you?

Play "Hate" by Cho Yong-pil.

Okay. I will play "Hate" by Cho Yong-pil.

You have two phones.

Yes. One is my work phone and the other is my personal phone.

If the one in your inside pocket is your phone,

whose is the one in your hand?

This is my phone too.

You always seem to be wearing your earbuds

and when you can't, holding the phone.

As if you need to report everything to someone.

That's…

What's wrong?

What's the matter, Ms. Jung?

I…

There's no road!

What are you doing?

Be straight with me.

About what?

You kidnapped Kim Seon-ju, didn't you?

Or did you murder him?

There seems to be a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

What did you do to Mr. Kim?

Why do you have this?

When did you…

I know you were reporting to someone with that phone.

Who's behind this?

DRAW PATTERN TO UNLOCK SCREEN

In-seong.

I think I found the unknown caller.

I'll call that number now.

UNKNOWN

Mr. Kim.

That was definitely Mr. Kim. Darn it.

I was right.

Now, repeat after me.

-The phone… -"The phone…

that went missing was yours, Ms. Jung.

that went missing was yours, Mr. Jung."

What? That was Ms. Jung's?

Why did you call me as an unknown number

and why did you send me those messages?

Say every word I said. Now.

It can't be her.

She'd even risk her life to find you.

There's no way she had attacked you.

What are you talking about?

Who are you talking to…

Like you said, he was just an immature kid.

And he's only 29.

You're right. He's just kid.

There's nothing you need to worry about.

Kim Seon-ju is surely a poor judge of character.

Once Silver Lining is shaken,

Bumyoung Motor Group and Ms. Oh will get in trouble too.

-Then-- -What about you?

Sorry?

I'm talking about Silver Lining.

You've been working under me for about 20 years, right?

Yes, sir. For 22 years and 3 months, since Bumyoung Electronics.

It's about time for you to hold a high position.

Schedule a luncheon with Mr. Park on Saturday.

Pardon?

Bumyoung Group has a new family member.

Let's give him a warm welcome.

I don't believe you.

Mr. Kim was attacked and then trapped in the phone?

It seems that Ms. Jung doesn't believe me.

Maybe if you send me another 100 million…

What In-seong said is true.

That voice…

That's right. It's me. Kim Seon-ju.

Where are you now?

Somewhere between the CPU and GPU chip.

But Mr. Kim once told me

that we can always imitate someone's voice using AI programs.

What about the promise?

Remember the day you asked me the favor?

I made a promise then.

How did you…

I want to keep the promise.

When did you film this?

If you had told me, I would've tried to show her face better.

Why don't you talk to her on the phone at least?

She must be waiting.

How can I explain

this situation to her?

I can't promise when I'll come back.

A vain hope will only hurt her.

It's hard.

Ms. Jung must be really confused too.

By the way, what did you promise to her?

Ms. Jung.

Let's go.

Sorry.

Mr. Kim.

Who is this?

Where did the vegetable lady go?

Who are you talking about?

Damn it.

Do you think she'll come?

-She will, right? -Have some patience, okay?

She's here.

Ms. Jung.

Morning.

Today at 9:10 a.m., there will be a weekly report by the development team.

I see. Then get in the car, Se-yeon.

Right.

Here.

-What's this? -It's the earbud.

We're in the same boat now.

That's the wrong side.

Right.

What are you doing?

What?

Sit in the back seat.

At work, you're my boss.

Okay, Se-yeon.

I mean, Ms. Jung.

Maybe we should turn on the radio.

Which channel would you like to listen to?

Well, it's just so quiet in here, so…

Was it like this with Mr. Kim too?

When you drive, you must focus on driving.

Yes. When you drive, you must focus on driving.

What…

Have you two been working together for long?

Yes.

When you're asked a question like this,

most people would say how long it's been.

What about you?

What? Oh…

Are you asking about me and Mr. Kim?

Let me put it this way.

In TV dramas,

some ordinary person gets involved with a millionaire, right?

I'm that ordinary person here.

So you don't know each other.

How can we trust a total stranger?

I couldn't trust you too either, Ms. Jung.

I have no memories of the time before and after the accident.

Which made you, Ms. Jung, one of the prime suspects

as you were with me on that day.

No, I wasn't with you.

Let's hurry. Min-a is waiting.

I got a text from the hospital that day.

They said my mother wasn't doing good.

Can I head back to Seoul now?

Hey, you came.

Fortunately, she got better when I arrived.

The texts, the call history, and the location history…

Everything matches with what Se-yeon said.

The opposite of suspicion is not to have blind trust

but to know things clearly.

So I…

Why can't you just say sorry?

Sorry I didn't trust you.

I didn't trust you either.

That's why I called as the unknown number.

You don't need to explain. I understand.

From the info we've collected so far, the last place I was seen

was the golf course.

Did anything special happen there?

Anything is fine.

Something that wasn't like usual or…

I don't think so.

What do you think, Mr. Kim?

Well, I think a meeting should be done in a meeting room,

not on a golf course, and that's the right thing to do.

I agree.

Hey. What a nice weather, right?

I'm sorry you had to be tagging along with those idle riches.

It's okay. This is my job.

What are you doing after work today?

TGIF, you know.

I thought he was just trying to be friendly.

I didn't feel any other intention.

But if somebody intended to kill me that day,

She would've been the first thing to remove from you.

Mr. Kwak may not have many hairs, but he has greed.

Which he's very good at hiding.

We must know every little detail about where he went,

whom he met, and what he did after the golf game that day.

Give me the money first.

Is this your phone, right?

EMERGENCY TREATMENT RECORD

REPORTER: UNIDENTIFIED PATIENT: PARK IN-SEONG

Seven, zero, three, six.

SEARCH: 7036

KIM SEON-JU

Kim Seon-ju?

Mr. Kwak's phone, computer, dash cam…

Search everything he has. We need to find a clue.

-Mr. Kwak. -Yes.

Come over here. You might be able to get thicker hair.

-Thick hair? -Come have a look.

You need to get enough sleep.

Get enough sleep, I see.

It says a head massage can help too.

I can't sleep much. A massage?

Get enough sleep and a head massage…

Mr. Kwak, you got a phone call.

Right. Thanks, Ms. Jung.

Thank you.

It's a spam call.

OFFICE OF JUNIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR

Are you new here?

-Yes? -I haven't see you around.

Right. Starting now, I'm…

Aren't you the CEO?

I'm mysophobic,

so I wanted to clean myself.

-Please, go ahead. -Let me--

No, this is mine.

Se-yeon.

Se-yeon, run…

As I expected, Mr. Kwak is one meticulous man.

He's one of those who always look before they leap.

The dash cam.

Only if we could get his dash cam records,

we would be able to figure out where he went that day.

Dash cam records can be overwritten by new records.

We need to hurry.

Mr. Kwak is coming to today's luncheon too, right?

Yes. Why?

Well…

What the…

Jesus.

Hey!

Get out of the car!

You've got to learn how to drive…

Oh, man.

Mr. Park?

I'm terribly sorry.

I'm okay, sir.

Ms. Jung, you should've been careful.

This must have scared him.

I'm sorry.

I need to call my insurance company.

Please don't.

It's not like we're strangers. And this is just a minor accident.

-I'm totally fine. -Come on.

Please let me.

We're not stranger, therefore we have to settle it up.

We're not stranger, so don't be like this.

You're putting your employee in trouble right now.

-I'm in trouble too. -But I…

My body is fine, and my car is fine.

Really. Don't worry.

Move.

-What? -Move over.

Damn it.

Three, two, one.

Run!

What… What are you doing?

Oh, boy.

I told you to be careful!

Sorry, I meant to drive it forward.

-I'm so sorry. -Jeez.

Hello, is this Bumyoung Insurance?

I'd like to report an accident.

Location?

Goodness.

Look. You don't want to be later than the vice-chairman.

What?

Let's take a taxi there.

What about our cars?

Our cars…

Ms. Jung, please take care of them.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Taxi!

-I'm so sorry. -Taxi.

This way, sir.

This way.

FULLY BOOKED TODAY

-I don't think this is the place. -Hold on.

It is the place. Come this way.

Excuse me. Coming though.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Mr. Oh.

Well, hello, Mr. Park.

Since there are so many people

who are curious about Silver Lining's new CEO,

I urgently called a conference.

This is okay with you, right?

Sure. It's okay with me.

-Sir. -Yes?

The live broadcast is ready.

Good. Thanks.

I hear Silver Lining's social media channel is

more influential than the Nine O'Clock News these days.

This is why an old man like me is considered washed up.

Come on. Have a seat.

Everyone is waiting.

The whole country is waiting.

It's the vice-chairman.

I let my guard down.

I forgot

that I was dealing with Oh Young-geun.

Reporter Ko Yeong-jae of Naeil Business.

Reporter Oh Yu-jin of Daily Daehan.

They're all pro-Bumyoung reporters.

They'll ask you trick questions

to embarrass you on the live broadcast.

I know that.

But don't worry.

Nobody can humiliate

the CEO of Silver Lining.

EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

Even for Silver Lining, a company leading innovation,

it is a shocking move

to appoint a man who is fresh out of college as the CEO.

And this man is not even 30 yet.

In-seong, just repeat after me.

I'm Kim Seon-ju.

Ready, action.

This is a beautiful tradition of Bumyoung.

"This is

a beautiful tradition of Bumyoung."

What do you mean by, "a beautiful tradition?"

-The founders of Bumyoung, -The founders of Bumyoung,

Mr. Oh Bum-geun and Mr. Oh Young-geun

sold their family's cow secretly,

moved to Seoul,

and founded Bumyoung Food.

I'm sure you all know this famous success story.

Do you know anyone who belittles them…

Have you seen anyone who belittles them because they never went to high school?

I haven't.

Thanks to the vice-chairman who has set a precedent

that regardless of your age or your academic background,

you can be qualified as the chairman of a big corporation

as long as you're capable,

I could seize this opportunity which I appreciate very much.

Am I right, Mr. Oh?

HE GIVES HOPE TO ALL JOB SEEKERS.

CEO PARK IN-SEONG IS SO COOL.

June 10th.

Why did it stop?

Is he waiting for someone?

Recently, there had been accidents caused by self-driving vehicles around the world.

As the CEO of Silver Lining, which is developing one itself,

I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.

That's a typical question.

-That's a typical-- -Don't repeat that one.

-Self-driving vehicles. -Self-driving vehicles.

-That's right. -That's right.

-They sure cause accidents. -They sure cause accidents.

Just like humans can cause accidents.

Did you know that humans have

a much higher rate of accidents

than self-driving cars?

Also, self-driving vehicles

never drunk drive nor doze off at the wheel.

About the rate of accidents,

once self-driving cars become more common--

Exactly. So you do agree that self-driving vehicles are

a work in progress.

-Now, -Now,

-let me take you -let me take you

back to the time when people were riding carriages.

…back to the time when people were riding carriages.

The first car has been presented.

Its incredible speed

and its body made of hard steel

must have been intimidating to the people.

I'm sure there was a reporter like you back then too, saying,

"Cars are too dangerous."

"Let's just ride carriages."

He talks just like Kim Seon-ju.

I know, right? He sounds just like him.

If we had decided to keep riding carriages,

Therefore, I believe Silver Lining's job is

stop worrying and develop safe technologies for all.

In-seong.

In-seong.

Mr. Kim?

How could the CEO of Silver Lining

UNLOCK MY BOSS

I'll pay you back.

-Are you threatening me right now? -Sir.

I'll come back,

and when I come back, I won't just leave like this.

Who do you think you are to judge me?

-I just heard Daddy's voice. -Well…

Mr. Kim?

He should be okay, right?
