Original subtitles

Why did you throw the match?

I already told you what I can give you.

Mama has only one Papa.

When we’re working,

I’m your research assistant.

Off the clock,

I’ll be your sex partner, if that’s what you want.

Have you ever told him you love him?

It’s not like he doesn’t know.

He just doesn’t like me.

But I know you’d never choose me anyway.

What is it that you really want from me?

You’re a special-skilled Alpha, aren’t you?

You really went this far just to find out?

Let go.

Let go!

Babe!

Charlie.

Charlie…

Charlie, listen to me!

Charlie, Charlie, please listen!

Charlie! Charlie!

It’s not what you think, Charlie!

If you’re going to mess around, why not tell your boyfriend first, Babe?

Can’t even make your boyfriend feel okay,

so you take it out on someone else?

How cute of you.

-Calm down, Charlie. -You—

Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie.

Charlie.

-Charlie— -Let go.

Babe came to me first, okay?

Now you act all innocent in front of your boyfriend?

How is that right?

Shut your mouth.

Charlie, calm down.

Calm down?

Charlie.

Charlie!

Charlie, listen to me!

Charlie—

Charlie…

Just hear me out.

What else are you going to lie about?

Just listen, I had a reason.

What reason could justify all this?

And why did you take off your ring?

There’s no reason except your greed.

Okay, I’m sorry about the ring. But—

I was suspicious Willy had a sixth sense, so I checked into it.

And last race, he let me win so easily.

Just like that.

Don’t you think that’s kind of weird?

Charlie.

Charlie, please listen.

Yeah, it is weird.

But what’s even weirder is you.

Weird that you let Willy get close to you.

If it were the old you,

You’d curse at anyone who even brushed past you.

How am I supposed to understand you now?

But I didn’t actually do anything with him.

OK.

I know you’re mad.

But please listen to me. Be reasonable.

Reasonable?

You're the one who’s being unreasonable.

You followed him on IG.

You replied to Willy's messages.

You think I didn’t notice?

I saw everything.

But I never took it further.

Charlie, I really had to do it.

Had to, huh?

I always believed in you.

But you’re the one who broke that trust.

-Charlie— -Right now,

It doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Charlie, don’t go!

Charlie, talk to me!

Charlie! Charlie, open the door!

I said open the door!

Charlie!

You’ve reached the voicemail box of the number…

Charlie, where are you? Get home now.

Mr. Chris.

Has Charlie come here?

Do you see him here?

Can you not piss me off right now?

Charlie hasn’t been here.

Has he contacted you at all?

Do I look like someone he’d be close to?

If someone hates your boyfriend, and you don’t even know—

Then how do you expect me to know?

Or did you two already break up?

Uncle.

Uncle.

Oh?

Did Charlie come here?

Charlie? No.

What’s up?

Jeff didn’t come too?

He said he went to pick something up at the garage.

Why? What happened?

You came here to look for Charlie?

Because Charlie saw me with Willy.

Huh?

Yeah.

You were with Willy?

What’s wrong with you?

Sit down first.

Sit.

Tell me.

It’s not what you think, Uncle.

I just wondered if Willy had a special sense. So I checked.

You checked Willy?

-Yeah. -What were you thinking?

I didn’t think, Uncle.

That’s why this happened.

I’m not surprised Charlie’s mad at you.

But I have my reason.

You know I’d never go for Willy.

About this—

Charlie didn’t do anything wrong.

The one who messed up is you.

Totally your fault.

But he shouldn’t be angry to the point of…

Taking off the couple ring, right?

You know I’d never cheat on Charlie.

I’m just…

I really love him.

Does this mean Charlie doesn’t trust me at all?

From what I see,

It’s not that Charlie

doesn’t trust you.

He doesn’t trust Willy.

That kid went after you so openly.

He flirts with you nonstop.

Even if Charlie’s as calm as a monk,

anyone would get mad, Babe.

Charlie can be mad at me.

But I just don’t want him to leave the house like that.

And now I can’t even reach him.

I’m really worried about him, Uncle.

Come on.

He’s just mad right now.

Give him a little time.

Once he calms down, he’ll come back.

You’re not planning to stay here forever, right?

I only packed a few outfits for you.

I don’t know yet.

I haven’t thought about it.

Charlie.

I think you should calm down.

Wouldn’t it be better to go back to Babe?

You didn’t go through what I did. Easy for you to say.

Think about it. What if Alan did that to someone else?

How would you feel?

Didn’t Babe always act like this?

But back then,

I wasn’t even dating Babe.

But now we’re living together, Jeff.

Flirting and cheating are totally different.

Then how do you know for sure?

That Babe actually cheated on you?

Whose little brother are you again?

I’m saying this because I care.

From what you told me,

I think Babe had a reason for what he did.

He probably thought

Willy really was suspicious.

He wanted to know the truth so badly he had to follow Willy like that?

Anyone can see

that Willy was only hitting on Babe

because he wanted him. That’s it.

But Babe…

He got obsessed.

Always looking to catch others doing wrong.

You’re obsessed with your lab work too, aren’t you?

But he never complains about it.

That’s not the same at all.

You know I’m rushing the meds

because I want to help everyone.

And Babe followed Willy

because he wants to protect everyone too.

Don’t forget

what he’s been through.

With Tony—

and with Way.

You think Babe can trust anyone that easily?

I think,

until he’s sure

that Willy isn’t dangerous, he won’t stop.

Anyway—

Just get some rest and cool down first.

Mm.

I’ll get going then.

Two, please.

Why are you following me?

You left me in the middle of the sauna like that.

I didn’t know where to go.

So I had to follow you here.

You’re seriously not gonna stop messing with me?

Hey.

Don’t forget—

You’re the one who started it at the sauna.

Fine, I’m sorry then.

From now on, I’m done dealing with you.

Go back the way you came.

Just seeing your face annoys me.

Is that really a good idea?

Don’t you want to know about my special sense?

I said stay out of my life!

Looks like your fight with Charlie was pretty serious.

Have you two made up yet?

Want me to help patch things up?

Can you not butt in?

You were with me just one day,

and you two already had a big fight?

Unless…

You two already had problems before that.

But having problems can be good.

Because that means…

I still have a chance.

Right?

What’s wrong with you?

He’s here.

Hey, Babe!

Did you sleep at all? You look super worn out.

I slept.

Got 10 minutes this morning.

You better go back and sleep more.

If you train like this, you’ll collapse.

I’m fine.

Jeff.

Did Charlie contact you last night?

I think now's not the time for you two to talk.

You should both cool down first.

Cool down?

He was gone all night and I still don’t know where he stayed.

Trust me on this—

If you stay hot-headed, things will only get worse.

If it reaches 24 hours, I’m calling the police.

No need for that anymore.

Get the car ready.

-Charlie— -I’ll wait at the practice track.

Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie!

Babe, I think we should stay away from each other.

Charlie, what do you mean “stay away from each other”?

Charlie, when will we ever talk things out properly?

If you keep talking with this kind of attitude, I don’t want to talk.

Charlie, I already told you all my reasons. I told you…

Charlie, just hear me out.

Charlie.

I know you had a reason.

But I have the right to be mad too.

I’m your boyfriend, you know?

Or do I have to wait till you actually sleep with Willy?

Then I’d be allowed to be mad?

Charlie, calm down. It’s not what you think.

It’s not what you think.

-Babe, let go! -Charlie!

-Babe, stop it! -Let go!

That’s enough.

Let go.

Let go first, Babe. Let go.

Babe.

Charlie, calm down first.

Babe already feels guilty.

Say sorry to him.

I…

Alan, I swear I didn’t mean to do any of that.

Charlie’s just overthinking it, bro.

I’m overthinking it?

Everything I do, I always think of you.

But why is it when you do something, you never think about how I feel?

Are you really sure, Charlie?

Are you sure I never think about how you feel?

If that’s what you think, then why don’t you quit the lab too?

What does this have to do with the lab?

You’re mixing things up.

It’s all related, Charlie.

Because I want all this crazy stuff to end, Charlie.

That’s why I went after Willy. It’s all because of that.

But I know how to manage time.

I can still make time for you. You don’t have to feel lonely.

I never buried myself in the lab,

leaving you all alone like you’re doing to me now.

Babe.

Calm down.

Charlie, do you know when you paid the most attention to me?

Back when we weren’t even dating.

Now you don’t care about me at all, Charlie.

Let me ask you something.

Why are we even together?

If I don’t matter to you at all?

It’s up to you now.

I came to practice racing today.

Not to fight with anyone.

I’ll be waiting at the track.

-Charlie! Charlie! -Babe, hey!

Calm down. Let me talk to Charlie.

Babe, just take it easy for now.

Cool down, okay?

I thought you already left.

Not rushing back to the lab?

My shirt reeks of alcohol.

Hope you don’t mind me borrowing yours.

Didn’t you already put it on?

It actually suits you.

You can just keep it if you want.

Thanks.

But I’ll wash and return it later.

Let me have someone order breakfast for you.

If there’s something you want,

just order it yourself.

I don’t usually have breakfast with a sex partner.

Have you talked to anyone in X-Hunter?

Normally, racing team matters

are Alan’s responsibility.

I don’t really get involved.

Why do you ask?

Yesterday, Babe came to see Charlie at the lab.

Looked like they had a huge fight.

Honestly, I don’t want to get involved.

I’m just worried about Charlie.

His mental and emotional state…

It directly affects his physical condition.

If Charlie’s emotions aren’t stable,

we may have to delay the experiment.

And if Charlie has to choose

between Babe

and the experiment,

I hope he chooses the experiment.

You understand, right?

I understand.

But I don’t think the way you do.

I just think…

Maybe people don’t have to go to extremes with everything.

And I hope Charlie doesn’t have to choose.

Okay, let’s go.

-Just like that. -Yeah.

That works.

-Whoa, what was that? -Hey!

-Whoa, whoa! -Hey!

Did the wheel slip?

That looked good though, really good.

-Don’t— Charlie! -Hey!

-Hey! -Don’t cut in like that! How’d you pass?

Hey, careful! Watch it!

Charlie, can you please separate work from personal stuff?

I’ve taught you how to drive so many times already.

What you just did is dangerous.

Also, when you're driving, don’t let your emotions take over.

I told you that before.

In racing, we go for first place.

I just wanted to see if I really go all in,

could I win like how Willy won against you?

Is everything really just about Willy?

Besides, I’m trying to fix things between us.

I know.

But I just can’t separate it all.

Charlie.

If you’re gonna drive however you want and ignore our strategy,

then maybe I don’t need to be team captain.

X-Hunter is about playing as a team.

If you can’t race as part of a team,

maybe you shouldn’t race next match.

Then I’ll cut today’s practice short.

Charlie, where are you going now?

I just want to be alone right now.

Charlie!

Your body is starting to resist the medication.

Have you been taking care of yourself lately?

I haven’t really slept much.

Been a bit stressed, that’s all.

But it’s fine. I can handle it.

In this experiment,

it’s not about whether you can handle it or not.

It’s about whether your body can take it.

That’s what matters.

Then how about increasing my dose?

I don’t agree with that, Charlie.

Your current experiment is already risky enough as it is.

You can’t just increase the dose randomly.

If your body becomes resistant to the drug,

it could ruin the entire experiment.

Then what should I do?

I think you should take a break from racing for now.

I can’t do that.

If I stop racing,

what about Babe?

Your situation with Babe right now

is really affecting your health, Charlie.

I think…

Maybe now you need to choose.

Whether you want to take a break from Babe

or take a break from the experiment.

Come eat with me.

I made samgyeopsal for you.

Not sure if you’ll like it.

I’m not picky.

Sit down.

Go ahead, eat.

Have this too.

So…

When are you going back to Korea?

Well…

Pretty soon, I guess.

Why do you ask?

I don’t trust Chris.

He’s getting way too close to Pete.

I think I better be careful.

You don’t trust him…

Or are you just jealous?

Aren’t you smoking too much?

It’s not good for your body.

What else can I do?

I’m stressed.

Then you should find another way to deal with it.

I’ve tried other ways.

But it doesn’t help.

Do you think…

Charlie will come back to the experiment?

He tried to create the skill-nullifying drug

just so he could be with Babe.

And now we’re asking him to choose Babe or the lab.

So what you’re saying is,

everything we’ve been working for…

Means nothing?

But I believe Charlie will choose the experiment.

Because Charlie loves Babe.

If the drug works,

he can be with Babe safely.

I don’t think he’ll give up that chance.

Because otherwise,

he’d have to live in fear of people like Tony forever.

I hope you’re right.

You’re smoking, so why can’t I?

It just doesn’t suit a manager like you.

I just wanted to try.

I like the way it smells on you.

So I wanted to know—

If I smoked it, would I feel the same?

Way smokes too, doesn’t he?

How many times do I have to tell you…

Stop seeing me like someone who's already dead.

I’m leaving.

See you at the lab.

Hello, uncle?

Babe?

Don’t worry, man.

Jeff told me where Charlie’s staying.

I secretly sent you the location already.

Just don’t tell Jeff about this, alright?

Send it to me now.

Charlie just needs some time to get himself together.

You just need to stop pushing him and give him space.

Just knowing he’s safe is enough.

Trust me, Babe.

This is just one more thing

you two have to get through.

Charlie really loves you, man.

He’s not going anywhere.

Babe.

Charlie?

How did you get here?

Hey Charlie, come over here.

Grab a seat.

I saw you guys posting stories.

So I came to check it out.

Oh.

So you came all the way here for us?

The way you’re dressed definitely here for Babe.

-Right? -Definitely.

But I couldn’t reach Babe.

So I came, hoping I’d run into him.

Ugh.

Took you long enough to want to talk to him.

Hey, did you know—

Since he was born,

I’ve never seen Babe chase after anyone.

You’re the first.

So you better make up to Pit Babe properly.

Got it?

Why just me?

You and Sonic are still beefing too.

What?

I’m not the one beefing.

He’s doing that by himself.

I honestly don’t even get what his problem is.

I’m chill, really. No big deal.

So where’s Babe exactly?

No idea.

We invited him, but he didn’t want to come.

Well, if you guys manage to reach him,

just let me know, okay?

Mm-hmm.

-Sure. -Wow.

Even the prince of the racetrack shows up here?

Hey, hey—

Who lit incense and summoned this guy?

Why didn’t Babe come with you?

Oh—

Did you guys break up?

What do you want?

Can’t you tell already?

I thought I made it pretty obvious—

I want Babe.

Hey—

How can you say something that messed up?

Huh?

Sometimes, dreams are all we’ve got.

Babe would never go for someone like you.

You never know.

I beat you on the track, didn’t I?

So why can’t I beat you when it comes to Pit Babe?

Say whatever you want, man.

Just stay in your lane, alright?

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Hold up.

What’s the rush, huh?

Wanna test our basics?

Bring it on.

Racing or Pit Babe—

I’ll beat you either way.

Good.

If you win—

I’ll stay out of Pit Babe’s life for good.

But if you lose,

you walk away from Pit Babe too.

You got the guts?

What the hell, North?

Call Pit Babe already.

One’s the ex, the other’s chasing him.

Throwing jabs like this—

We need a referee, man.

No need.

Let Charlie handle this on his own.

And you really think Charlie can win?

There he is, Charlie.

-Oh, sorry, excuse me. -North!

-Sorry, sorry. -Sonic, come here.

Hey, Charlie!

Listen up, man.

No matter what happens—

You better not lose to that punk Willy, got it?

I’m rooting for you all the way, Charlie.

The pride of X-Hunter is on your shoulders now.

Yeah, it’s all on you now.

Don’t worry.

I’ll definitely beat him.

Let me cast a spell for you.

What the hell, North?

What are you doing?

Chanting the 100% win rate spell.

What 100% win rate?

Get ready.

Too bad—it’s a tie.

Guess we won’t know who won.

A tie means you didn’t win.

So now stay out of Pit Babe’s life.

If I see you outside the track again—

I’ll run you over, seriously.

That kind of anger is kinda thrilling though.

Good.

’Cause if you keep acting all boring—

Pit Babe might come to me real easy.

Next time, don’t hold back.

You’ll be okay, man.

Looks like Babe’s special sense is all with Charlie now.

So that means Charlie absorbed the power from him.

And it’s still inside him, right?

Do whatever it takes.

Bring Charlie back.

And get rid of everyone close to him.

Everyone, sir?

Yes.

But leave Babe to me.

Do whatever it takes.

Bring Charlie back.

And get rid of everyone close to him.

But leave Babe to me.

Charlie.

You two still haven’t made up?

It’s race day already.

I’m only focused on the race.

You don’t need to worry.

Don’t worry.

On the track, all I care about is winning.

Fine. Let’s hope that’s true.

But whatever issues you two have, deal with them later.

I’m asking you, just for today.

Okay?

Get ready. Go.

Pit Babe, Pit Babe.

Pit Babe, better wait inside first.

I’ll come get you when we’re done.

Go ahead.

Please?

Hey.

Huh?

Where’s North?

He’s getting dressed.

Always slow, that guy.

Ouch.

Uncle.

Does it hurt?

I told you to bend more carefully.

What’s with you, kid?

Why so jumpy?

I just lifted it the wrong way, that’s all.

Look,

Believe it or not, I used to be a king.

This is nothing.

King or not, pain’s still pain.

Even kings get old.

Whoa, kid.

Listen.

Not only am I not old—

I’m immortal.

Because I feast on youth every day.

Excuse me, sir. Maybe you should rest.

Hey uncle, are you really hurt?

Of course I am.

You smacked me right on the sore spot.

Then maybe you should rest today.

No need to help out.

I said I’m fine.

Nothing serious, just…

Faking pain so my girl gets worried. That’s all.

Then I’ll go get North ready.

You think our team feels kinda tense lately?

Kim just quit.

Pit Babe and Charlie aren’t even talking.

That’s normal.

Times change. People change.

What about you?

You ever think of racing again?

If you come back,

we could ride together like we used to.

I don’t want to race anymore.

What, Sonic?

But wasn’t your dream

to be the best-dressed racer?

Well, my dream’s changed now.

I’m doing what I love.

Same goes for you.

We’ve both found different paths we love.

Different paths, huh?

Hey.

Hurry up and get dressed.

You’re a veteran racer.

Veterans don’t show up late.

You ready, North? Time to gear up.

I’m ready, Jeff.

Today,

I hope you set a great record.

Okay.

Thanks.

Let’s go.

Welcome to the Haller GT Speed Thunder race!

We’re now at the race track.

The race has started, beginning with Zone A.

Pit Babe is still in the lead.

Followed by Charlie and Willy.

-Yeah! -Pit Babe!

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

Willy is trying to find an opening.

Willy takes over and moves into 2nd place.

Meanwhile, North from X-Hunter

has overtaken from the back group.

North is accelerating—picking up speed!

-Impressive, North! -He’s moved up!

-Go go! -Now onto Zone B.

Willy and Charlie are still neck and neck.

Charlie has overtaken!

Charlie’s now in 2nd place.

North moves up from 7th to 6th place!

Still charging—he’s now 4th from 5th!

Not bad at all from X-Hunter’s racer.

Willy’s overtaken—he’s moving up now!

Willy’s successfully taken 2nd place!

Willy and Babe are neck and neck!

Charlie’s trying to pick up speed too.

He overtakes!

Charlie’s right beside Willy now.

They’re still pushing side by side.

And Charlie makes the pass!

Yeah, that’s it!

The rankings just shifted again.

Charlie takes 2nd. Willy drops to 3rd.

Charlie’s blocking really well.

Willy tries to sneak through but—

Charlie’s still holding the line.

Willy steps on it and overtakes!

Willy’s gonna beat Pit Babe for sure, man!

What do we do?

Hey, the race isn’t over yet. Why are you panicking?

Uncle, should we have North cover Willy?

We can’t rely on Charlie alone.

Yeah, North—

Once you hit that next corner, go full speed.

-Get up there and help Babe out. -Got it, Uncle.

Smooth cornering just now!

North is still in 4th place.

Looks like North is picking up speed!

North has overtaken Charlie!

You know who I am? North, Top Speed.

Looks like Willy’s not giving in.

He’s closing in fast.

Oh no, North got hit and spun out!

Position shift! Willy is now in 3rd place.

-What the hell? -How did that happen?

North’s car has stopped. Looks like a technical issue.

That’s really unfortunate.

Looks like North is out of the race.

Charlie and Willy are still battling it out.

Willy just overtook Charlie.

But Charlie’s not giving up!

He’s chasing back up.

Still neck and neck.

Willy manages to edge ahead into 2nd place!

But Charlie still isn’t giving in!

He’s pushing back up the middle!

Now entering the final stretch.

Who’s it gonna be—Charlie, Babe, or Willy?

It’s neck and neck till the end!

And they’ve crossed the finish line!

First place: Babe. Followed by Charlie,

and Willy from Team ETA.

Damn…

What about North?

-How’s North doing? -He’ll be fine.

Charlie—why did you do that?

I didn’t do anything.

Charlie—

Why did you throw the race?

I didn’t throw the race.

I was following the plan.

Why are you getting mad at me?

Charlie.

You cut Willy off like that—

That was really dangerous.

You don’t have to worry about me.

I know exactly what I’m doing.

Charlie.

You could’ve passed me back there.

Why did you let me win?

Aren’t you mad at me?

I don’t want to fight. I’m taking a shower.

Charlie, wait. Listen to me.

Don’t you love me anymore?

Don’t you want to be with me?

I…

I still love you.

But right now, I need time.

Time? Time for what?

Charlie.

If you need time…

I can’t give it to you.

Charlie.

Just don’t leave…

I’ll give you everything.

Babe.

I didn’t throw the race.

It’s just… I’ve never been able to beat you.

I came because there’s something I want to tell everyone.

What is it?

I’d like to resign from the team.

Why are you avoiding me?

Are you hiding something from me?

That won’t work, Pit Babe.

I thought it was a love issue.

I can separate work from personal stuff.

Uncle, I think my condition’s getting worse.

Where are you right now?

Kid! Hey, kid!

Tony’s planning to take down everyone around Charlie.

He’ll do whatever it takes

just to get Charlie.

-Use the seizure spell! -Both feet, up!

Ow!

(Fully maxed out)

-Charlie, listen to me! -Let go!

Whoa, whoa, calm down—damn, man!

(So much emotion) Damn, man!

(Chill a bit, okay?)

(Babe?) Babe! Babe!

(Wrong person, Uncle) No, not me!

-Babe! Babe, follow him! -Charlie!

(Don’t do that to P’Pel) I’m going full swing this time.

Mmm.

-Cut! -Go, go, go!

Hair’s gone.

Must’ve puffed out.

(Top, you’ve got this!)

(Give it your all!) One more time!

At first I thought it’d be hard, but it’s actually chill.
