What if Se-yeon chooses otherwise?

She won't.

What?

Because poverty limits your options.

By the way, I've always wondered

why you named the company Silver Lining.

I searched your interviews, but you never mentioned it.

Silver lining.

The silvery edges of a cloud.

A glimmer of hope amidst misfortune.

It doesn't sound like an IT company's name.

Have you watched The Terminator?

The terminator?

EPISODE 4 UNLOCKED

Oh.

Now, feel free to ask him questions.

Some say, as the AI technology develops,

about 47 percent of current jobs will disappear.

Some even fear that AIs might get out of human control

and become a threat to humanity.

What's your opinion on those matters?

I will be back.

I'm sure you're all worried The Terminator might come true.

Artificial intelligence

with high intelligence and autonomy

can be a threat

to the entire Homo sapiens.

Because they will be smarter and stronger than humans.

When that happens,

AI will change the world to benefit themselves,

without our permission.

Because

that's what humans have done.

Hoping to be a glimmer of hope

in the gloomy, cloudy future,

Kim Seon-ju has named this company, "Silver Lining."

Taking over the mission, I, Park In-seong,

promise that humanity

will always come

before Silver Lining's technology.

Wow.

Sir.

Great job today.

I'm sorry.

Say hello to the director, Mr. Park, for me.

I thought he'd come down hard on you. I'm glad he didn't.

What are you talking about?

We're going to lose all Bumyoung Electronics' ads.

Really?

That was a little sudden, but it was a pleasant surprise.

You know, the word family means

a group of people who live and eat together.

Finally, I feel like I'm part of the Bumyoung family.

Thanks to you,

I could make a good first impression as the CEO of Silver Lining.

I'll make sure to pay this back.

Are you threatening me right now?

-Sir. -People are watching.

I wonder why Mr. Kim met Mr. Kwak?

What was he up to?

I know I shouldn't be like this,

but I can't seem to see things straight right now.

Hello?

You were acting as if you were really the CEO.

Sorry.

I just added some ad-libs to what you said to me.

-In-seong. -But I can't get a strike for this.

That would be unfair.

Mr. Oh took the earbud,

so I had no choice.

In-seong, why do you always make excuses?

Kim Gun-mo is the only one who became successful with "Excuses".

What?

I'm saying you don't need to make excuses. You did great.

You were like a real CEO.

Did you just compliment me?

Well, this is new.

Hello.

Who are you, again?

It seems that we have one thing in common, Mr. Park.

I heard you collected the executives' phones at the meeting.

I did.

You did well. Phones these days can be recorders and wiretaps too.

It was for security reasons, you know.

You were chosen by Kim Seon-ju.

I've been wondering what made him choose you,

and I found the answer at the press conference.

You're flattering me. I didn't do any--

You must talk to Mr. Kim often.

Well, yes.

So that's how you could say the exact things he said to me.

As if he wrote a script for you.

What's wrong?

Didn't Mr. Kim tell you I'd say things like this?

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

Well, you said you talked to Mr. Kim often, so…

I'm not sure what he promised to you

when he asked you to be the temporary CEO,

but don't trust Kim Seon-ju too much.

Why would you say that?

He cares about no one but himself.

Which is why he didn't keep what he promised to me.

Think of this as an advice

from a professional to a newbie.

Is she gone?

She just left.

What did she say?

Just some work advice.

That was it?

Yes.

So that was part of Mr. Oh's scheme?

And you, Ms. Jung? Did you find anything in Mr. Kwak's car?

It turned out that he met someone near the golf course that day.

Who was it?

It's you, sir.

-Me? -Me?

Mr. Kim.

He met me?

But I have no memories of it. And we're not that close.

I copied the SD card.

You're right. I really met him.

Did you find anything else from his car?

No.

"Chungbuk?"

After he left the golf course,

he headed to Chungbuk Redevelopment Site Three.

Which means this is where Mr. Kwak went

after he met Mr. Kim.

Don't trust Kim Seon-ju too much.

What's this?

Hot!

Were you watching this the whole night?

You might explode and die.

I'm serious.

You can keep watching it, but it won't show you anything new.

Your hard work doesn't always pay off,

but your laziness does.

That's why the word "laziness" is not in my vocabulary.

Are you a dictionary or what?

Why do you always talk about vocabularies?

Goodness.

Min-a, you should've knocked first.

- Hi. - Hi.

I heard Daddy's voice.

Oh, that was me.

I was talking to a friend on the phone. You must've heard that.

By the way, didn't you go to the kindergarten today?

It's Sunday.

Next time, I'll knock first.

Min-a, wait.

Min-a.

Let me fix your hair.

Turn around.

Min-a, do you want to see something cool?

What is it?

To tell you the truth,

I'm a magician.

I really am.

Look.

Abracadabra.

Wow, how did you do that?

Do you want to play with me today?

Let's go.

What do you want to do?

Min-a, could you bring one more book?

Three, two, one.

-Done! -Done!

Well done, Min-a.

I think it's even taller than me.

Guess which finger.

-This finger. -Wrong.

Try again.

Guess which finger.

This finger.

You're right.

Here you go.

It looks tasty.

Min-a, take a look at this.

What is it?

Do you want see something fun?

It's like a caterpillar. I want to try too.

Do you want to try it?

Here.

Who taught you these things?

What do you think? Cool, right?

Baro, do you know some magic tricks?

If there are magic tricks that can make you happy,

I'd like to learn them.

That is so sweet of you.

Baro.

You little cutie.

My little cutie pie.

Don't you have to hit harder to dislocate my shoulder?

Aren't you supposed to go mow the grass?

I will.

Do you want to join me? It'll be a nice walk.

The drama I watch is starting soon.

Right. You can't miss that.

Even though it's on TV every day, you have to watch it today.

Harry Potter.

You're my only friend.

My Harry Potter.

That car seems unfamiliar.

Did the village head get a new car?

Wait.

Chungbuk Redevelopment Site Three.

You have arrived at your destination.

Navigation completed.

So Mr. Kwak came here after meeting Mr. Kim.

But why?

Oh Mi-ran?

I'm not sure if I should built apartments or a domed stadium here.

I've always wanted to build a domed stadium,

but most people want apartments,

so I'm torn.

If you were me, what would you construct here?

Mr. Park wouldn't send his secretary to check on the land,

so I assume you came here to see me.

Mr. Park

is going to be staying in Mr. Kim's house for a while.

Is that why you came to me?

-Just that? -What?

"Mr. Park has Kim Seon-ju's phone."

Not something juicier like this?

You must be torn too.

Some people say we should build an art museum here.

Fancy paintings are the best method

to hide black money.

But an art museum? That's so random.

Don't you think?

Who could it be?

Who did Mr. Kwak meet here?

On an empty land like this,

my brother and I founded Bumyoung Construction,

raised Bumyoung Electronics,

and created Bumyoung Motor Group.

I'm always grateful to my father.

The name, "Bumyoung",

was named after my brother, Bum-geun

and me, Young-geun.

You're talking about the past again.

It's kind of pathetic that you have nothing but your past to be proud of.

What did you do to make you think you deserve that position?

What you did doesn't matter.

What matter is what you can do.

This is my humble advice to you, Mr. Oh.

So what is it that you can do?

Fine. Let's say you become the chairwoman.

Then when you get married,

Bumyoung will no longer belong to the Oh family anymore.

I will protect Bumyoung.

That outdated mindset of yours is the reason

why you don't even deserve the vice-chairman's position.

What did you say?

Over my dead body--

What the…

Remember my advice? What matters is what you can do.

You little…

Sorry for the inconvenience.

She's so energetic for a seven-year-old.

Maybe she can be a national athlete.

Yuna Kim, Kim Yeon-koung, Kim Min-a.

Good job today.

Playing with Min-a will be considered overtime and--

It wasn't entirely for her sake though.

It was refreshing to me too. It helped me clear my head.

Also,

"Good job?"

You can just say, "Thank you."

Thank you.

A compliment and a thank you?

I heard people change when they're near their death.

My phone.

Oh, no.

Mr…

Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim?

That's not going to work.

You should just take it to the service center tomorrow morning.

What if the golden hour passes?

Golden hour?

It's a phone, not a human.

If it can't be repaired, just get a new one.

You're a CEO.

It's because inside this phone…

Something's in there.

A game character?

Something…

I must keep next to me.

It must be a photo of his ex-girlfriend.

It's true love.

Uncle In-seong, what's wrong?

Min-a, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

-Hello. We love our dear customers. -Hello.

I need to repair my phone.

-The phone repair service is inside. -Okay.

Move! Out of the way!

-I'm in charge of TVs. -Oh, okay.

Phone! This way!

Phone!

Doctor, here's my phone.

Please save my phone.

I'll do my best.

Please. I need this phone.

Sir.

Turn the flashlight on and off if you can hear this.

The flashlight…

Hold on.

-That's his bottom. -Oh, I see.

What?

You dropped Mr. Kim in the toilet?

I mean, you dropped his phone there?

It wasn't number two though.

What did they say at the service center?

They said it'll take a while to have it fully repaired.

They'll call me tomorrow.

Do you think

this will somehow trouble Mr. Kim?

What if they disassemble the phone

and something bad happens to him?

They won't, right? Please tell me that they won't.

Don't--

Are you okay?

You thought you could just hide your vegetable mother

and run away from me?

I know kids like you do that.

As if.

I would have quit my job if that was my plan.

Excuse me, but who are you?

And who are you?

Well, I'm like her coworker.

Is he your boyfriend?

Where did you find this loser?

I suggest you go find a sugar daddy.

Who do you think you are to talk to her like that?

I'm a man whom she owes 50 million won.

Why? Do you want to settle it for her?

It's my business, so talk to me.

Then do as I say, you bitch.

I know this is your job,

but you've got to at least let me breathe.

Believe me. You're the last person who wants me to drop dead.

You must've lost your mind.

-You… -Wait.

I'll pay the money back.

He's a sucker.

But I don't trust people. I trust money.

Here's my bank account number.

I'll give you two days.

If I don't get the money,

I'll come back.

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

Okay?

It's fine.

Call your insurer and report an injury.

BUMYOUNG HOSPITAL

Could you just…

Who do you think you are to pay that for me?

Just because you're acting like a CEO

doesn't mean you're the real Kim Seon-ju, you know.

Mr. Kim has told me

that you're competent and reliable,

and that's how you became the youngest executive secretary ever.

That's the kind of person we need.

I'm not reliable.

I'm just so overwhelmed with my own problem

I can't be bothered by others'.

If that was the case, you wouldn't have helped a random jobless man.

You're a nice, warm-hearted person.

Mom.

Please…

Guess the shocking news I heard today while trading stocks.

What is it?

That the CEO of Silver Lining…

is Park In-seong.

I'm really hurt, you know.

Look.

I thought we were closer, man.

Well, it's a long story. So, I'm…

-In name only-- -You're just a puppet.

It's something similar.

Who cares?

If you're a puppet or a puppeteer?

Give me a nugget, and you'll live happily ever after.

Just let me know when they'll release the new product.

I'll get as many loans as possible and go all in.

-No. -Why?

-Don't go all in. -Why not?

Because the owner isn't reliable.

You're the owner.

You became the owner without telling me.

Excuse me.

This billiard table needs to be fixed. It keeps moving.

Hey.

So you're sure about this, right?

What if you take all the blame and go to jail?

I won't.

Actually, it doesn't matter.

My life is hopeless anyway.

As long as I can get rich,

I don't mind being a criminal.

Sir, you've got to fix that billiard table.

-It's wobbly. -Right.

Never tell my parents about this, okay?

Hey, CEO.

Mind your own business, okay?

A friend of mine got a loan on his house

to buy Silver Lining stocks.

Mom-and-pop investors are buying this stock like crazy.

Gosh, my head hurts.

Oh, Lord. Please help me.

I must live. I must go up.

My Lord, please help me.

Which floor did you come from?

I'm from the 88th.

You've come halfway then.

I'm sorry these children have to suffer this pain with you.

Let's go.

Daddy, I want to go home.

It's not our home anymore.

You should get ready, sir.

There he is.

Why did you take the position you don't deserve?

-Please say a word. -Please answer.

In-seong.

Oh, no! Honey!

In-seong!

Are you okay?

I wish I could stop time for a moment.

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM SEON-JU

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE PARK IN-SEONG SHOW

It was a dream.

A friend of mine got a loan on his house to buy Silver Lining stocks.

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

whose lives are dependent on them.

I will show you.

The technology for humanity.

While I'm a CEO,

I should be like a real CEO.

I found a phone that is under Kim Seon-ju's name.

You did?

Park In-seong got his phone repaired, with the power of attorney.

I knew it.

Did you plant someone reliable?

Yes, sir.

Your phone is all fixed now.

Here's your phone, sir.

Mr. Kim, are you okay?

Hey, Kim Seon-ju!

Kim Seon-ju, please answer me.

Did he really drown in the toilet?

Do people still fall in toilets these days?

Maybe he got sick from touching the poop.

In-seong.

If you make the same mistake again…

It's working!

Excuse me? Did you hear me?

-My phone is working. -Hello?

It's working.

Who am I talking to? Hello?

I think I crossed the line yesterday--

You fixed the phone, I heard.

Yes.

It works just fine.

That's great.

We don't have much time now.

Because we've wasted time thanks to someone.

I found something strange from the dash cam footages.

What about this part?

I've watched this part many times,

but I couldn't find anything special.

Watch it carefully again.

Do you see a car passing by

when I got off the car?

This is where the strange part begins.

Do you see the car coming from the other side?

Is that the same car?

That's right.

The car that has passed when I met Mr. Kwak

made a U-turn and is coming back.

If it was headed to Seoul,

it wouldn't have had to come back.

Was it following him?

There's still a chance

that it was simply lost.

That's exactly what I want to check.

I need to run the plate first.

01 E 4885

I'll do it.

You can do that?

Do you know a cop?

In-seong, I heard you got a job in a big company.

I'm really proud of you.

How did you know that?

Your father told me.

Everyone in this town knows this.

What was it called? Silver…

Town?

It's Silver Lining.

Exactly. Lining.

Anyway, our village is very proud of you.

If you need anything, just let me know, okay?

-Speaking of which, -Yes?

I'd like to run a…

-Chief Kwon. -Yes?

We have some problem here.

What is it?

Did the village head's dog run away or something?

-It's not his dog, -Okay?

but his wife that ran away.

What?

We should locate her phone--

That can get us in serious trouble.

Don't mix your personal and professional life.

We're government officials, you know.

Do you think In-seong can handle it?

The world has changed now.

You can't use your personal connections to solve your issues anymore.

It won't be easy, right?

Do you think we can handle this though?

That will be up to you, Ms. Jung.

You've got to look strong.

-Strong. -Strong.

How may I help you, ma'am?

I'm a member here…

…'s secretary.

I see.

Please charge my phone.

Yes, ma'am.

-No! -What?

Charge it with the computer, please.

Okay.

Nice.

PATROL DIVISION

Why don't you stick around a little longer?

No, I don't want to bother you.

Thanks for the coffee.

You're welcome.

Wait, is that your car?

It's my company's car.

Man, that's one nice car.

Next time you get a job, you'll take a helicopter here.

Hey, you've got to be careful with the new car.

Where did you get this scratch?

It seems pretty new.

Ready, action.

-It was a hit and run. -What?

That sucks. Did you report it to the police?

I just started working for this company,

so I don't want to cause any trouble.

What are you talking about?

Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

If I knew the plate number, I would--

I know the plate number.

You do?

I think my dash cam filmed it.

What are you doing?

Are you going to just keep the number in your head?

Give me the number already.

Yes!

So the car is…

It's a burner car?

Yes, I ran the plate,

but it wasn't registered.

A burner car…

This person we're dealing with is no ordinary.

Did you check if the car was actually following you?

I hacked the golf course' server

and checked the CCTV records near the exit from the tenth,

and it turned out the 4885 car went in

one minute after my car went in,

and it left right after my car left.

So the car was following you, but it's a burner car.

We're lost again.

Since we came all the way here, why don't we go check out the scene?

Okay.

This is the mountain.

No way. Don't say you climbed this mountain.

No way. Don't say we should climb this mountain.

I know. Unless you're on the verge of death,

you would never go that way.

Now, let's go.

It was somewhere around here.

This is where I found his phone.

Here?

I'm sure they have removed any potential evidence immediately.

At least one thing is clear now

because we came all the way here.

That you're very weak?

If somebody wanted to harm you here,

he or she couldn't have been alone.

Why do you think so?

Because of your body.

You can never

carry one's body down from here.

That sounds reasonable.

Because when it comes to height, I'm in the top three percent in Korea.

-What… -Get down.

Criminals always appear

in the crime scene. Always.

Wait here.

Mom, Dad.

Why would he use the wire phone when he has a cellphone?

Oh, that.

It's from the movie In-seong shot when he was little.

The frame is broken. We need to change it.

So…

you came here on a business trip?

-Yes. -Yes.

Are you two colleagues then?

Yes, she's my supervisor.

So she's your boss? Man.

In-seong has a long way to go, right?

Yes.

It's ready.

He's a sweet kid though.

The food is ready. Come and eat.

Let's go.

-Please have a seat. -Thank you.

As you probably know, sicklepod tea is good for your eyes.

Hey, we have a guest today.

How could we have no meat on the table?

The stores were closed already.

I see.

Why didn't you tell us you were coming?

Because I wasn't planning to come.

Sorry. We didn't expect your visit.

We usually make bibimbap with those side dishes.

Is that okay with you?

Sure.

Here.

I give him the food I make,

but he'd never eat it. The food just stays in his fridge.

Don't give him any food.

But he's living alone in the city.

Se-yeon, it's me.

-Hey, Mom. -Hey.

Jeez.

You never eat the side dishes I give you.

Let's just mix them before they go bad.

Bibimbap?

-It looks so good. -They're all organic.

Eat up.

It's so good!

Mom, will you still make kimchi for me after I get married?

You said you'd live with me. Are you going to get married?

Of course.

There are a lot of boys in my college who are crushing on me.

-Are there? -Yes.

Let's see how great a man you'll bring to your wedding.

I'm going to see that for myself.

Okay, Mother.

It's tasty.

There.

Let's eat.

All right.

What's wrong?

It looks so tasty. Let me add some sesame oil…

Son, how could you always look so handsome?

Oh, stop it, Mom.

I'll get going then.

We cleaned up the guest room too. You don't have to go.

I need to go to work tomorrow.

He's just sad you're leaving.

Have a safe trip back home.

Thank you.

Well, then…

Thanks.

We'll leave now. You can get back inside.

Bye.

Drive safely.

Drive safely, okay? Bye.

She's adorable.

This is his first time taking a girl home, right?

I need to know her birthdate to see if they're a good match.

Se-yeon.

Thanks for the bibimbap.

It was tasty, right?

I don't like bibimbap.

I don't like mixing food.

All right.

But I like gambas al ajillo.

Let's eat that together later.

Okay.

To make that happen, we need to find the 4885 car first.

We came all the way here

only to go back to square one, I guess.

Not necessarily.

At least now we know for sure that the burner car was following me.

Hang on a second.

The car was following you?

If the car was following you then,

could it be following us too right now?

01 E 4885

I'll drive to the parking lot over there.

Do you think it'll really follow us here?

That's the car.

Let me go check.

What are you going to do by yourself?

-Let's go back for now and-- -No.

What if they realize we found them and change the car?

What if they stop following us?

This is our only chance.

Then I'll come with you.

Wait.

Let's go.

There's no one inside.

How have you been, Mr. CEO?

Kim Seon-ju has just arrived.

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

Which team are you in?

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

This way.

So you were in that 4885 car.

Oh, no.

You're not supposed to know that.

Se-yeon, you have the car key and Mr. Kim's phone, right?

Yes. Why?

While I drag his attention,

you just run to the car.

-But… -There's no other way.

Just do as I say.

I'm Fedor Emelianenko.

I'm Bruce Lee.

Ready, action.

Run.

Get him.

-Stop! -Run!

-Let go! -Come on.

I said, let go!

Come here.

Let go!

Let go of me!

-You bitch. -Let go!

-Come here. -Let go of me!

Let go!

Stop this!

I said, let go!

You little…

Don't move.

Help!

Help!

You sucker.

Where's my money?

What are you going to do now?

Here. Have this. It's expensive.

-Please help. -What are you whispering about?

Answer me!

Do you know him?

Hey, what are you going to do about this?

Do you have an insurance to cover it?

You've got to pay for the damage.

What the…

-Is this funny? -Where did this idiot come from?

Hey, stop.

Who sent you?

That's usually my line.

What?

-What's your deal? -What's your deal?

I asked you first.

That bitch owes me money.

Go away.

Not until I get my money back.

If you take her, I can't get my money back.

If you want me to go, give me the money.

You're getting a good beating today.

I am?

Everyone has a plan, you know,

until they get punched in the face.

What should we do?

What do you think? Get them all.

Wait.

Darn it.

You!

What a nut.

We're in trouble, sir.

Are you sure about this?

As long as I can find the truth,

I can do even worse things.

Who sent you here?

I'll tell you.

Tell me. Who sent you?

I'm curious.

Kim…

Kim Seon-ju.

UNLOCK MY BOSS

-Bum-geun! -This just in.

the chairman of Bumyoung, Oh Bum-geun,

has passed away at his age 75.

Oh Mi-ran and Oh Young-geun will start fighting over the shares…

-It was Mr. Kim's order? -That doesn't make any…

Why did Mr. Kim ask you to follow me?

Not once have I regretted my own decision.

The address, the contact, the academic background… They're all fake.

How is this possible?

I know, right?

The moment I first saw you, I knew you were a good person.
