(All characters, organizations,and events in this drama are fictitious.)

(General Manager Kim)

You can't move.

Mr. Kim...

Please go to sleep.

(Desperate Mr. X)

(Missed call: General Manager Kim)

(General Manager Kim)

Yes, Mr. Kim.

Yes.

Gosh. Thank you.

No, sir. It's all thanks to you.

I know very well that you look after me.

Yes. Thank you, sir.

I love you.

I got it!

(Episode 6: The Death Race)

(Exit)

We ended up getting the supplyfrom Eco-friendly Chemical.

Taxi!

On top of that, they want to signa long-term partnership agreement.

Mr. Kim snobbishly took creditas if it were thanks to him,

but I workedat Eco-friendly Chemical for 15 years.

I have my handful of connections too.

Managing Director Park had recently becomean executive, so he was busy...

looking for new businessesto count toward his performance review.

Luckily, we came into his view.

There will be no binding forcesince it'll be an MOU,

but establishing a connectionwith a big corporation...

is a huge feat for a start-up like ours.

We got it!

Lucido!

I have cancer?

We shouldn't jump to conclusions yet.

But you do have a polypin your gall bladder.

Is it dangerous?

We need a biopsy to be sure,but the size isn't small.

We normally see it as dangerousif it's bigger than 1cm.

Yours is close to 1cm.

But you're still young.

Also, gallbladder canceris more common in women.

So is there a chance it could be cancer?

I can't say right now.

So it's cancer.

I told you we're not sure yet.

Not yet?

That's what doctors sayto keep their patients calm.

I think you've been watchingtoo many dramas.

Real doctors don't say that.

So is it cancer or not?

But I can't assure youthat it's not cancer either.

That's why you need additional tests...

I knew it. It's cancer.

I told you, no.

We can't finish the conversationif you keep acting like that.

But you're not ending the conversation.

Is it or is it not?

Like I said, you need additional tests...

What should I tell my wife?

What about Teun Teun?

Honey, I'm home.

What?

- Did you eat?- Not yet.

Why didn't you call?

I'm almost done. Hold on.

Now, the opposite side.

Look down and breathe out.

What are you doing? I'm shooting.

I'm sorry.

About what?

You're pregnant, but I'm always so busy.

What's gotten into you?Did something happen?

No, nothing.

Then why is your smile so fake?What is it? Tell me.

It's not a fake smile.

- Can I touch it?- Yes.

Can you hear anything?

The thing inside me...

might be gallbladder cancer,or it might not be cancer.

Life and death are overlapping...

with a 50 percent chance.

(Gallbladder cancer symptoms)

Gallbladder cancer symptoms include...

weight loss, exhaustion,

a darkened complexion, and tiredness.

(Pain in the pit of the stomach...)

Pain in the pit of the stomach?

I have pain.

Nausea and vomiting?

Did I cough up blood because of this?

I have all the symptoms.

You don't see the symptomsin the early stages of gallbladder cancer.

It's rare to discover it at this stage.

By the time you see the symptoms,

it means it's already too late.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm okay.

See you later.

Bye.

Bye.

See you.

I thought of life as a race.

I believed the right way to livewas to rush...

and get ahead of others.

The destination didn't matteras long as I was running fast.

I only cared about getting ahead.

But now that I look at it,

this race was leading me to a ledge.

It was a race of death.

Why is it that I'm always too latewhen I realize something important?

I shed those blood and tearsfor a happy future.

But that future disappeared.

What am I going to work for?

When I came to,I was already in a rental car,

driving aimlessly down a road.

It clears my head a little.

Okay, I need to get myself organized.

A gallbladder cancer patientin stage four...

has a 5 percent chanceof surviving 5 years.

But if I get surgeryand go through chemotherapy,

we'll have to forgetabout the housing lottery.

It's obvious we'll drown in piles of debt.

That's that when I die,

but what about the unborn babyand my wife who has to raise the baby?

Yes. I should just die.

That's the right thing to do.

But what about my wife?

If I die without preparing anything...

She'll be in so much pain and regret.

Darn it.

This broken bodyis already close to death.

Why am I hungry?

(Indoor Cart Bar Rest Stop)

Thank you.

How many more meals will I get to eatbefore I die?

Considering that,

I better eat a delicious meal every time.

Let's do what I want to do first.

I'm going to die anyway.

I shouldn't have any regrets.

It's so...

It's so delicious.

I see.

Excuse me.

Can we have what he's having?

I'll bring you two portions.

Gosh.

It's so good.

(Assistant Manager Kim)

Where are you, Mr. Yoon?

Something big happened.

Is it good news or bad news?

I'm not curious at all.

I want to spend the remaining timefor myself.

(CEO's Office)

Ms. Kim, did you call Mr. Yoon?

I'm not sure if he ran out of batteryor if he got into an accident.

As soon as he picked up,I got disconnected.

Now his phone's turned off.

This is driving me crazy.

Keep on calling him.

Seok Ho,come with me to Eco-friendly Chemical.

Okay.

Is this situation good or bad for us?

I don't know!

- That's why I'm going crazy.- The phone is turned off.

- What are you doing? Come on!- Please leave a message...

after the beep.

"Gallbladder cancer?"

(Gallbladder cancer)

Why did he look this up?

(Gallbladder cancer symptoms)

(Gallbladder cancer survival rate)

Hello?

Are you the wife of Mr. Yoon Dae Wook?

Yes, I am.

Hello. I'm Assistant Manager Kim Hyun Aof Lucido.

I see. Hello. I heard a lot about you.

He told me you're competent and thrifty.

Why did you call?

Well...Mr. Yoon didn't come to work today.

I can't reach him either.I'm wondering if something happened.

But he left for work.

All right. I'll try calling him.

Okay. Please let us know.

(Honey)

The phone is turned off.Please leave a message after the beep.

The phone is turned off.Please leave a message...

Wait.

- The phone is turned off.- Pick up.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Hello? Honey?

No, this is Ms. Kim.

I called youbecause I found out something.

I checked the business credit cardMr. Yoon used today.

It looks like he rented a car.

He also had some barbecueat a restaurant in Yangsu-ri.

"Yangsu-ri?"

Maybe he wanted to get some fresh air.

Did anything happen at work?

No, nothing happened.

I'm sorry for making you worry.

If you hear anything, please call me.

I wanted to come here once before I died.

I really came before dying.

I should have come in a car like that.

Gosh, so many people are here.

What?

Hey.

What?

What?

Fancy seeing you here. How unexpected.

I can say the same.

But you're a workaholic.Why aren't you working on a weekday?

You got fired, didn't you?

Did you get fired from the clinic?

No.

It's my clinic,so I can take a break whenever I want.

What a life.

It's nothing to envy.

Try seeing a couple of patients like youa day.

It can really bring me down.I'm so sick of it.

When that happens,

I come to the racing tracksand step on it at full speed.

That gets rid of my stress.

I'd be dead already without this.

Let's see.

Why are you taking out the air?

You're a rookie, aren't you?

By the way,

you don't own this car, do you?Is it a rental car?

It doesn't suit you.

It looks expensive.

This is not a car.

It's my life partner.

Is it really yours?

Do you think I stole it?

By the way, why are you here?

Well, to get rid of my stress.

Stress?

Did you come here looking like that?

Yes. I just brought a car.Do I need something else?

Gosh.

Come here.

This car is really something.

Don't touch someone else's car.

Here's a helmet...

and some gloves.

You can rent some here,

but this is safer.

Thank you.

Come back here.

I guess it's fate.

Should I let you go for a ride?

In this car?

Okay. Don't turn on the engine yet.

Hey.

Gosh.

Darn.

That's it. Gently.

Hey. Turn it gently.

Don't look right in front of you.You have to look far away.

This is why you're too slow to turn.

I'm too slow?

Yes, right now. Turn it gently.

If you see a straight section,

this is when you step on the gas.

In three, two, one, full!

Just step on it.

Gosh.

Is your leg too short?Why aren't you going at full speed?

Stop nagging!

Just let me drive the way I wantbased on my instincts.

"Instincts?" You can barely drive.

The young ones always talk about the vibe.

You're so noisy.

You can't drive with your mouth.

I'd drive better with my mouth than this.

Is that so? Let's see how well you drive.

Step on the brake!

Brake! Help!

Let me out!

Doctor, don't kill me.

I'm so scared.

I want to get out. I want to live.

Too fast...

Hello?

Yes, hello.

(Dongui Bogam Family Medicine)

Yes, that's why I called.

Can you tell me the hospital you went tofor the checkup?

I'm not sure,

but I think they told him some bad news.

He looked up gallbladder canceron the Internet.

He didn't go to work either.It's unlike him to do that.

What?

You're with him?

Yes. I'll take him home safely.

Where are you? I'll come.

No, I can make it there.

Okay. Then be careful on your way.

Okay. Bye.

Hey.

Can you put the helmet far away?You'll get your vomit on it.

Yes...

This eel tastes fantastic.

How can you eat so well?

I have a good appetite.

All right, eat all you want.We have a lot of time.

What is it? Is someone coming?

Who would come here?

It's good, isn't it? This place is famous.

Thank you for treating meto this expensive eel.

I made you throw up,so of course I should fill you back up.

You're a really good driver.

How long did you drive on the tracks?

I guess it has been about ten yearssince I really started to race.

Gosh.

Is it okay for a doctorto have such a dangerous hobby?

If an accident happens and I die,then I die.

You shouldn't live so carelessly.

A healthy person is responsiblefor cherishing their body.

Careless people are the oneswho drive carelessly on the streets.

It's much safer to drive on the trackslike me.

Also, my health isn't very good.

I could die at any moment.

What?

It's called a cerebral aneurysm.

It's somewhere here.

Simply put,my brain will grow big like a balloon...

until it goes, pop!

Can it be treated?

It's apparently really big,

and it's in the worst spot possible.

I guess it's a hit and miss.

A hit and miss?

Yes. Touching it might make it pop,

but it might also stay intactuntil I die of old age.

If you see me faint all of a sudden,

don't bother calling 911.

Call the funeral home instead.

I'll definitely become a vegetableif you save me.

It'll only ruin the lives of my family.Okay?

I'm sorry to say this,

but you seem really cheerful for someonewho doesn't know when he'll die.

It was tough on me at first too.

But actually,none of us know when we'll die.

Why are you laughing?

Well...

I feel sorry...

for both of us.

Why do you feel sorry?

Right. Did you get your checkup result?

Actually,

I was told I had cancer.

Cancer?

Is that so?

Cancer? Gosh.

What kind of cancer?

I'm in the last stageof gallbladder cancer.

How did they find out? An MRI? A CT scan?

Or was it the endoscopy or the ultrasound?

The resultof the checkup didn't look good,

so I have to book another dayfor additional tests.

Then you have to take those testsand wait for the results.

Did the doctor tell youthat it's gallbladder cancer?

No, but the polyp is this big.

If he tells you there's a polyp,you have a polyp.

It's not cancer.

The symptoms tell meit's the last stage of gallbladder cancer.

- Did you check the Internet?- Everything matched my condition.

I lost weight, and I'm exhausted.

I have headaches, stomachaches,and I'm throwing up.

Darn that Internet.

Everyone in this country has cancerif those are the symptoms.

Don't try to console me.

I've already given up.

It's always random people...

who never studied medicinewho diagnose themselves like doctors.

I hate my job.

I'm so disillusioned. I'm sick of it.

Do you mean it might not be cancer?

Of course it is.

Internet is considered big data.

It must be better than this old doctor.

Please tell me the truth.Don't joke around with my life.

You're right, you have cancer.Your symptoms are obvious.

It's cancer for sure.

How much time do I have left?

Can I make it until Teun Teun is born?

You're such a greedy man.

You're in the last stage, right?

Your symptoms say so.

You'll definitely die.

You can't avoid it.

Gosh. If I'm unlucky,

I'll have to take care of a corpse here.

Stop! Stop it!

How can you call yourself a doctor?

You should be saving people.

How can you call my husband a corpse?

What do you mean, a corpse?

You're evil. You're not a doctor.

- You evil man!- How did you find me, Honey?

Honey...

Honey.

Gosh.

It's okay. I'll save you.

Forget that quack.

- "A quack?"- I'll find a great doctor...

to save you. Don't worry.

- Let's go home.- Honey.

I wasn't hiding it from you.

I just couldn't get myself to tell you.

I don't mind dying,

but you and our baby...

Why would you die?

Don't mind that quack.

We'll be able to treat it.

Many people survive cancer now.

Let's go home. Okay? It's okay.

- Thank you, Honey.- Let's go.

Gosh. He's an idiot,but he found himself a good wife.

Gosh.

Don't follow us!

I'm on my way to pay.

Go away!

Let's go.

He's an evil quack.

Are you okay? Be careful.

(Dongui Bogam Family Medicine)

(Temporarily closed)

That evening,

I went to a neighborhood clinicrun by an evil quack...

to get all the cancer tests for free.

- Here.- As if to regain his honor,

he devoted himself to the tests.

But I'm not sure if he was ableto regain the trust of my wife.

- Come on in.- Thank you.

Sit down.

Anyway, you mean it's not cancer. Right?

Yes. I told you so many times.

Liar.

You said he was dying.You said he had cancer.

You said he might become a corpse today.

No, you have it wrong.

Please get the whole story from himwhen you get home today.

- You know what I mean.- Forget it!

I think we're done talking to you.

Okay.

Let's go, Honey.

- Okay.- Get up.

Thank you, brother.

You're welcome, brother.

It's free, right?

Yes. It's free.

Let's go.

Gosh. I'm so stressed.

It ended up just being a happening,

but a lot of thoughtswent through my head today.

Me too.

My child's father is frivolous, timid,

and careless.

I'm sorry.

But from now on,

I'll live differently.

How so?

I think I was too fixated onrunning forward.

But I realized itwhen I was running out of time.

My present is more importantthan my future.

Money is nothing in the end.

Do you think you'll be able to change?

I was close to kicking the bucket.

The level of realization is different.

So how do you plan to live now?

I'll empty myself.

I won't mind when you sell stuffon the used goods market.

Empty what?

Let's sleep.

Life is a race.

A race taking place in space.

In order to get to your destinationin space,

You have to slow downas much as you sped up.

If you miss the timing,you'll pass your destination...

and fly endlessly into the dark space.

I'm past the age where I only accelerated.

Slowing down is simple.

I just have to empty my mind.

The ambition to succeed...

and the desire to beat others...

It's time to empty my mind.

Just like how my wife emptied this place.

Can you give up onthe housing lottery too?

While we're on it,should we really give it up?

To be honest, it's been too difficult.

Why don't we take it slowand do what we can handle?

If we give up the apartment,

Teun Teun will live a poor life forever.

We'll fall behind if we take it slow.

You never know.

Housing prices are dropping these days.

No, Gangnam apartments never drop.

They did before.

But they ended up climbing again.

They could drop again.

But they'll climb back up again.

I knew it.And you'll just cough up blood...

to get ahead of everyone. Right?

Let's go to sleep.This is a useless conversation.

You didn't change at all.

Slowing down.

It sounds easy, but it's not.

I already have so many responsibilities.

I have to take care of them.

Anyway, we'll pay the second payment,

and when the urgent things are settled,

I'll definitely slow down.

Right.

I should send Teun Teun to university.

I'll slow down after that.

Yes, that's the right way.

Wait.

Do I have to buy him a housewhen he gets married?

What about my retirement?

I don't know.

Do I really have to buy him one?

But I don't have one either.

This is not my home. It's the bank's.

- Should I really buy him one?- Go to sleep.

What do I do?

I said, "Go to sleep!"

(Kwon Sang Woo)

(Lim Se Mi)

(Sung Dong Il)

Darn those jerks.

Why does Eco-friendly Chemicalsuddenly want to take over Lucido?

Haven't you heardof killer merger and acquisition?

They take over smaller companiesthat lack funds, like us,

to steal the idea.

They want to be in chargeof producing innovative products.

- Why?- Because a rival company...

might reach out to us first.

They can trample on a growing companywith just a bit of pocket money.

They can also hold their rivals in check.

What if we decline?

They'll threatento stop supplying us immediately.

Jerks.

They're punks.

(Eco-friendly Chemical)

Have you done it before?

Killer merger and acquisition.

I'm an expert on it.

I'm glad...

you're on our side.

Let's go, Ms. Kim.

Right. Why didn't youhand in your resignation letter?

Did you change your mindafter hearing about me?

Of course not.

My lease climbed in the meantime.

I'm speechless.

They asked for two times the amountI was anticipating.

According to my calculations,I have to work for two more years.

But the lease will go up even morein two years.

Just curse me, why don't you?

You should stay on your toes.

Everything except your salarywill climb beyond your imagination.

Gosh. I'm craving another cigarette.

Do you have a planfor stopping Eco-friendly Chemical?

We'll show them...

that we have fangs.

We do?

No. But we should act like we do.

I have 15 years of experience.

I trust you.

Stand up straight.

Let's walk in confidently.

(Desperate Mr. X)
