EPISODE 11

What is this about?

-Can you spare us a moment?
-We want to ask you something.

GLOBAL ENTERPRISE 2STO
LOOKS TO SCOUT TOP TALENT

Oh, this?

Do you have specific engineers in mind?

Why? Are you interested?

Of course. We're very interested.

You don't care about the conditions?

It's 2STO. And the company's HQ
is even in Silicon Valley.

What more could we ask for?

Can you ditch your team?

-Of course.
-Of course.

Mr. Nam.

I have something to ask you.

Sure, what is it?

The offer you made the other day.
That you'd give my company wings.

-Yes?
-Does the offer

still stand?

Yes, of course.

But what changed your mind?

I don't want a plan B.

Plan B? What do you mean?

Plan B for when we fail.

Sure, all right. Why not?

But I want to change the condition.

Take the entire Samsan Tech team.

What? The entire company?

-So you want us to buy out the company?
-Yes.

And we want to keep offering
the NoonGil service.

Look, Mr. Nam.

I really want to recruit you.

That's obviously why
I even met your parents.

Right, I heard.

CODA, NoonGil, and the Hackathon.

You've already proved yourself.

But acquiring the company
is a different issue.

I'm not a philanthropist.

And as for your teammates…
Honestly, I'm not sure.

There are plenty of other options
at Sand Box.

Who, specifically?

The engineers at Injae Company
are also very impressive.

Anyway, I'll see you on Demo Day.

Whether it'll be an acquisition
or simple recruitment, I'll decide after.

All right, then.

You must be mistaken.

If I killed your brother, I can't be here.

I'd be in prison. That's absurd.

Look, I don't even know your brother.

I mean, I didn't even know
you had a brother,

so how could I--

I didn't expect you to pray for him,

but I thought you'd at least remember him.

Mr. Han!

Are you all right? What's with him?

No idea. He said I killed his brother.

What? That was you?

What?

Do you know something?

Was it five years ago? Just before
you were transferred to the US,

you were one of the judges on Demo Day.

SENIOR MANAGER HAN JI-PYEONG

CHARGING PARTNER

Charging Partner…

Kim Yong-san's brother is Kim Dong-su,
the CEO of Charging Partner.

PERSONAL PROFILE
NAME: KIM DONG-SU

Your product only works
with removable batteries, right?

-Yes.
-But from what I know,

companies will be completely forgoing
removable batteries in two years.

Were you not aware of that?

Oh, that's…

If that's the case,
you don't deserve the CEO title.

You're not up to date with info.

Did you know about it or not?

I did know about it.

That's a bigger problem. If you were
trying to secure funding knowing that…

Mr. Kim,

this is a fraud.

The thing is, I heard Kim Dong-su

took his own life
a little while after Demo Day.

SAMSAN TECH
ENGINEER KIM YONG-SAN

CHARGING PARTNER
KIM DONG-SU

My, look at all this. What is that thing?

Hey, what is this?

Hey, why go through my stuff?

You joined Sand Box?
What about grad school?

I couldn't wait because it'd be too late.

What the… So you dropped out?

They say you should dissuade anyone
from starting a start-up.

"Never let someone's opinion
become your reality."

Said Les Brown.

You've got some nerve.

-Do Mom and Dad know?
-Nope.

Hey, don't tell anyone about my start-up.
Okay?

Come on. For free?

When you want something,
you've got to give first.

-I'm broke.
-Okay, I'm calling Mom and Dad.

Gosh, hey! Seriously.

Fine, I'll give you money.

I'm so broke. I can't believe
you're taking money from me.

Come on. You'll be rich soon.
You are a CEO.

Thank you. How much is this?

So are you happy now?

-You did seem excited these days.
-I'm happy.

-Look.
-Wow, that's so cool.

I'm really excited.

-That looks so cool.
-Here, look.

-My, that's a nice photo.
-Right?

ENGINEER
KIM YONG-SAN

Idiot.

Why were you so excited?

What was so hard
that you had to kill yourself?

That asshole

doesn't even remember you.

SAMSAN TECH

Samsan Tech couldn't have gotten here
without you.

I'm confident of that.

So never question it.

CHEONGSIMHWAN

What is this?

Anxiety pills. Don't you need one?

Not anymore. I pulled myself together.

The CEOs will decide who will go first.

Please gather over here.

Pick one. One per person. Here.

This time, I'm going first.

Looks like you'll need the anxiety pills.

Gosh. I got scared for a second
thinking I picked number six,

but I got nine.

Well done. We're so lucky.

What the heck?
Are they trying to piss us off?

They think it's unlucky.
As in 666, the devil's number.

I like six. It's a whole number.
It's a perfect number.

That's right!
Six is the most perfect number.

It really is the best. It's perfect.

You're right.

-Hey, Do-san. Can we talk?
-What?

We need to talk too.

Hey, don't pull my sleeve. Hey.

Gosh, hey. Seriously.
You're going to rip my sleeve. Let go.

Do-san, you know that I have no interest
in others' relationships.

I'm cool like that.

But I have to take an interest
in your relationship

as it could gravely affect the company
and I'm a shareholder.

"Gravely affect the company"?
That's nonsense.

No, it's not.

The CEO is dating
the majority shareholder.

If you two start having problems,

it'll affect the company as well.

A public company
would have to announce it.

Gosh, don't worry.
It won't affect the company in any way.

Is that so? So you guys are back together?

No.

-It's just like a reset.
-A reset?

What do you mean?

I didn't want to confuse Dal-mi,

so I told her to forget everything
she knows about me.

Did you get shot in the head or something?

You told her to forget you
and go to Mr. Han?

No. Hey, this is…

-Is that what it sounds like?
-Yes, that's what he meant.

"I'll give up and forget you,

so don't worry. Just go to Mr. Han."

I thought Do-san would get all clingy.
I'm surprised.

That's what you think?

That's not what it sounded like to me.

Then what did it sound like?

Dal-mi must be so confused right now.

She probably can't tell
who Mr. Han or I are.

So I told her to basically
hit the reset button

and just see me

for who I really am from now on.

Well…

Do you really think
that's how she took it?

Yes! I really think
that's what he meant by it.

Is that right? Are you sure
it's not your wishful thinking?

Gosh, you're weird.

Are you always this nosy
about others' business?

We're a team.

We work together,
so I can't help but be curious.

Who has captured our CEO's heart?

Our majority shareholder, Mr. Nam?

Or our mentor, Mr. Han?

I'm not sure.

How do I figure it out?

-You really don't know?
-No.

I really can't figure it out.

And I'm more curious than anyone.

Who

has my heart?

So what if her conclusion is Mr. Han?

Then,

can you accept it?

Can you continue to work with her?

Yes.

If that is Dal-mi's choice.

-I'd have to accept it.
-Goodness.

Even if he shows off his money
and hits on her,

you'll just sit around and wait for her?

All that tension
will only make her uncomfortable.

I don't want to stress her out anymore.

You're so understanding. This is something
only Hollywood actors would do.

You're awfully cool with this, dude.

Look. What's Mr. Han doing
with Ms. Seo over there?

Where? Where are they?

Hey, where?

Your words and actions don't match.

I've reviewed your code
for thousands of cases.

Just one look in your eyes
and I know what you're thinking.

Your eyes say you haven't given up.

I can tell that you've made a decision.

What is that decision?

-Chul-san.
-Yes.

You know, the plan B Mr. Han offered.

I don't want it.

What? Why would you turn down
such a great offer?

I don't want it either.

Hey, where the heck have you been?

Not just that. I no longer want
anything to do with him.

What's with the both of you today?

Why are you being so extreme?

He's been helping us out

because of Ms. Seo,
not for Samsan Tech's sake.

Am I wrong?

He'll invest as if he's giving alms?
I'm sure it'd bother you the most.

I don't want to do that.

That plan B will put pressure
on Mr. Han as well.

And most importantly,

accepting that
will be like negating everything,

including all the time and effort we put
into Samsan Tech's accomplishments.

My pride won't allow that.

"Pride"?

Who's the one that got down
on her knees and begged me?

Who?

Someone did that? I don't remember.

Fine, I'll just say
I don't remember either.

Since you don't want to take plan B.

Yes, we must win the upcoming Demo Day
no matter what.

Come here, guys.

All right. Let's win

and go to Silicon Valley together, okay?

-Yes, let's go to Silicon Valley.
-We can do it. We got this!

Go, team!

Let's do this!

A STAGE WHERE INVESTORS
WITHDRAW THEIR INVESTMENTS

BY SELLING THEIR SHARES,
M&A, LIQUIDATION, ETC.

JUDGE HAN JI-PYEONG

The number you have dialed…

-Is everything okay with Mr. Han?
-I wonder, too.

He's not picking up. What's going on?

Ms. Yoon, we should get started now.

All right.

JUDGE YOON SEON-HAK
SH VENTURE CAPITAL

Hello. I'm Yoon Seon-hak,
the director of Sand Box

and CEO of SH Venture Capital.

Though this is our 12th Demo Day
here at Sand Box,

I'm excited and thrilled
as if it were the very first time.

The ten teams waiting backstage
at the moment

are probably even more excited than I am.

The winner of this Demo Day

will receive 50 million won.

Also, teams that successfully secure
additional funding

can maintain all the benefits
they have been receiving

as residency winners.

So, if we fail to secure funding,

we'll be kicked out
and lose all the benefits…

However, we shouldn't be concerned

because we will secure funding
and become a global company.

In addition to the investors
who are present here today,

we have other investors
from around the globe with us.

Many investors around the globe
are joining us live.

All right. Let's meet the teams now.

First up is the team I mentored myself.

We see them on the news often these days.

Ms. Won In-jae, the CEO of Injae Company.

Let's welcome her with a big hand.

-Injae. We got this!
-Injae, Injae. We got this!

Hello. I'm Won In-jae,
CEO of Injae Company.

In this country,
there are eight million CCTV cameras

installed for crime prevention
and property protection purposes.

But unfortunately, many of them

aren't really utilized
until after crimes take place.

Of course, they help us prevent crimes.

But it's the human eye that has to monitor

all these CCTV screens all day long, 24-7.

So inevitably, we often miss
important clues or evidence.

And there's a physical limit as well.

Technology exists to help us
overcome such human limitations.

TO OVERCOME LIMITATIONS

Injae Company's AI solution,

Guardians AI, is that technology.

As you can see, Guardians AI's network

is designed to spot
suspicious persons or activities

and immediately alert organizations
that are in direct relation

to the situation.

The human recognition technology
is one of the keys in spotting

suspicious activities
through live CCTV footage.

We've managed to bump up
its accuracy to 93.2 percent.

-And to reduce operational costs,
-What? 93.2?

we've even made sure to…

What's our accuracy rate?

Ours is 92.4 percent.

That sounds like bullshit.

Bullshit! Their accuracy
can't be higher than ours.

No. Based on their IR report,
it's not bullshit.

For parking control,
it goes up to 99.98 percent.

Hey, quiet down.

Are you trying to discourage Ms. Seo?

Thank you for your presentation.

Now, we'll accept some questions.

Don't you have many competitors
in Korea alone?

Yes, we do.

However, no other company has managed
to reach our level of accuracy.

What I'm more interested in
than its efficiency

is how effective it will be
in terms of reducing labor costs.

According to the Ministry
of the Interior and Safety,

one person can monitor
up to 50 pieces of footage.

With the help of our solution,

that can be bumped up to 300.

So theoretically, the labor costs
will be one-sixth of what it used to be.

Using Haun Engineering
and Construction as an example…

let's say we reduce the average salary.

-The average salary is 36.4 million.
-That's why your dad started protesting.

-Yes.
-If it's reduced to one-sixth of--

I have a question for Ms. Won In-jae.

Oh, this voice sounds very familiar.

You can't ask her a question now.

I'm on Haun's security team.

I'm Nam Seong-hwan.

Sir, please leave
unless you are authorized to be here.

I have the right to be here!

I'm about to lose my job
because of that company.

Who has more right to be here than I do?

-Sir, you can't do this.
-Let go!

-Hand me the mic!
-No.

-Hey, get him.
-Let go!

-You can't do this, sir.
-Mr. Park.

It's okay. We'll let him ask his question.

Sir, please go ahead.

Yes, ma'am.

You folks insist that it's innovation,

but it directly affects our lives
and livelihood.

For you, it's about
cutting the costs by a bit--

By 3.6 billion won.

It's not "a bit."

Yes, 3.6 billion won.

So many people rely on that money
as it's their sole income.

How will they survive now?

You're pushing us to the edge of a cliff.
So please explain.

What is your justification?

Why am I doing this?

She knows what to do
and how to accomplish it.

But I have to say,

I don't think she knows

why she's doing this.

Some people said something similar
about a hundred years ago.

When taxis first hit the streets,
rickshaw pullers protested

like you're doing now.

If we prioritized their livelihood

over innovation,

we'd have to take rickshaws
instead of taxis now.

Forget cell phones.
We'd still be using old-school phones

with telephone operators.

Is that the world you want?

No, right?

The same goes for our children
and descendants.

They, too, would want the world to change

for the better.

I wish to make the world a better place.

That's why I'm doing this.

She's found her answer.

And that is your son's aspiration as well.

His son? Who is his son?

I'm curious.

Your son is also participating
in this residency program.

And he has also come up
with a downsizing solution using AI.

So…

why attack me when your son
has chosen the exact same path?

What? He's your father?

That's cheating. Why drag Do-san's family
into this? It's so underhanded.

You're right.

My son

has chosen the same path.

If everyone in this world
were like you and my son,

this world would quickly become
an innovative place.

But it's never good to move too fast.

That speed can hurt many people.

We'll see a lot of people

lose their jobs,
unable to adapt to the changes.

We need people like me

to slow things down a little.

To help find the right pace
that allows people to adjust and live.

And to find that pace,

I will continue to fight.

My son has chosen a path

that is different from mine.

He has his own life,

and so do I.

My son will march forward to the future,

and I

will fight to protect my present.

Somewhere between the two,

we'll find the ideal pace

of innovation.

Dad.

See? You can look me in the eye.

Why have you been avoiding me?

Your father…

is so inspiring.

So what do we do
if we want to invest in Injae Company?

Are you still accepting investments?

Not from you, sir.

I'm not here to secure
additional investments.

I can run the company
with the sales alone.

I am looking for a global partner
for Injae Company.

I'm honored.

I was very impressed with your pitch.

And I think your company is qualified
to become 2STO's global partner.

However,

there's another team
that we're considering.

Can I decide after their presentation?

Sure.

Is that us?

Should we tweak the numbers
in our presentation?

Numbers? What numbers?

As you heard, their accuracy rate
is higher than ours.

Let's bump it up a little.

Shall we?

Let's do that.
We can increase the actual rate later.

We can…

I mean, you can do that.

ASSISTANT MANAGER HAN YU-JIN

Next up is team number six.

Mr. Han Ji-pyeong was their mentor.

He couldn't be here today
due to personal reasons,

so I have the honor
to introduce them to you.

-We saw him earlier.
-Their AI app is called NoonGil.

-"Personal reasons"?
-It was created for the visually impaired.

-What's going on?
-And has a record-high user number.

We should be worried about us now,
not Mr. Han.

-Let's focus.
-All right, guys.

Gather around.

One, two, three.

-Go, Samsan Tech!
-Go, Samsan Tech!

-Good luck.
-You got this!

Let me introduce Ms. Seo Dal-mi,
the CEO of Samsan Tech.

-You got this!
-Best of luck!

-Good luck!
-Break a leg!

Go for it!

JUDGE HAN JI-PYEONG

Hello. I'm Seo Dal-mi, CEO of Samsan Tech.

Technology makes your life
easier and more convenient.

But it can make some people's lives
more difficult.

The visually impaired, for example.

If we ignore their needs
and blindly strive for innovation,

many people who can't adapt to change
will suffer.

We, at Samsan Tech, are aware
that technology's main aim is to innovate,

but we also believe that it exists
to help such people.

Now, I will show you what I mean by that.

Yeong-sil, can you read the text
in front of me?

NoonGil is an AI-based service
developed to assist

the visually impaired
in their day-to-day activities,

inspired by guide dogs.

Yeong-sil, what do you see now?

Two women and four men are sitting.

Nice.

About 250,000 people in this country
are visually impaired, right?

Since the solution's target group
is very specific,

I'm thinking
the market would be pretty small.

We're targeting the 40 million people
with visual impairment worldwide.

Noongil is currently available
in English and Chinese,

and we plan to offer our service
in other languages as well.

JUDGE ALEX KWON

I'm very interested
in Samsan Tech's technology.

Could you tell me
your human recognition accuracy rate?

We can increase the actual rate later.
We can…

I mean, you can do that.

No, let's not do that.
Let's just be honest.

But Injae Company's accuracy
is higher than ours.

Let's bump it up by just a little bit.

That "little bit" will make
the 92.4 percent look fake.

It's okay, guys. 92.4 is pretty good.

NoonGil's human recognition accuracy rate

is 92.4 percent.

That's a bit low
compared to the other team's.

Not necessarily.

It's not just about the numbers.

The environment also plays a huge role.

As you know, NoonGil is a mobile app.

And we had to keep its battery usage
to a minimum to make sure

the visually impaired
could use it all day.

Therefore,
we had to find the middle ground

between a high accuracy rate
and reducing the app size.

We did that, too.

It's always the incompetent ones
that talk a lot.

Then how about we do this?

Can someone from Injae Company
come up on stage?

Let's go.

That's a single-board computer.

Does he want them to run
their AI software on it?

I guess so. Is that possible though?

No. No way.

Well, isn't this too extreme?

They're both pitching their app sizes
and human recognition technology.

Testing them in the same environment

will tell us which one is better.

So this is round two,
following the Hackathon.

What do you think?

Not sure.

Frankly, I don't feel confident.

We've never tested it on such low RAM.

Can it run on this thing?

No. You can't even run Tetris on this.

Our solution won't run on this, will it?

No.

It won't. But theirs won't either.

Then why did he suggest this test?

-To invalidate their excuse.
-What do you mean?

They said their accuracy is lower
because they had to reduce the size.

He obviously suggested this
to show everyone

that their claim is false.

Does that mean we're Alex's pick?

Probably.

On the flash drive,
you'll find Sand Box's CCTV footage.

Put that footage through your human
recognition software. That's fair, right?

-Yes.
-Yes.

SAMSAN TECH

I can't believe this.

SAMSAN TECH

The program is actually running.

SAMSAN TECH

My gosh! This… This doesn't make sense!

What? It's working?

Ours is working fine, right?

It works? How?

I can't believe this.

I knew it'd work.

I totally knew it.

-So we won, right?
-Yes.

Hey, come here. Get over here.

Get off me!

-I said, get off me!
-Come here.

What are they doing?

12TH DEMO DAY WINNER

We fought well.

We'll take one more. Look over here.

All right.

Look at the camera. Here we go.

One, two, three!

12TH DEMO DAY WINNER

But what's the use?
You have nothing to entice investors.

What is your business model?

And how will you generate
consistent profit?

You don't have a clear picture.

Are you naive or stupid?

Were you going to give away
the whole algorithm?

I can guarantee that you guys will fail.

After seeing this shareholders' list,
no one will be stupid enough

to invest in your company. No one.

And the biggest problem here is that

the CEO can't resolve the situation.

The more users, the higher the cost.

Who'd invest in this?

Mr. Park was right.

He said you wouldn't be coming
as you're beating yourself up.

I'm sorry.

Our job is to give candid feedback
even if it's hurtful at times.

Naturally, some will resent us.

That day, you pointed out issues
that had to be addressed.

Had you not brought them up,
I would've done it myself.

Do you really think it was necessary?

Ms. Yoon.

I always told the guys at Samsan Tech
that they wouldn't make it.

But they won today.

Maybe Kim Yong-san

was right after all.

Grandma! Grandma!

Gosh, my pumpkin. You're home.

Why are you so excited today?

You'll be very surprised.

I told you about Demo Day.

Guess how we did. Third place? Second?

No, number one!

-What? Really?
-Yes!

Your team won?

I told In-jae.

-I told her I'd outdo her in three years.
-Right.

But in hindsight, I think
I underestimated myself big-time.

I don't need three years.

Of course, you don't! You were too humble.

My sweet pumpkin. I'm so proud of you.

-Grandma.
-Yes?

-Something's up with you.
-What?

Why are you so sweet today?

I have to say,
it feels very contrived for some reason.

Gosh, what are you talking about?
I'm always sweet to you.

That's not true.
You're always indifferent.

Are you hiding something from me?

What? Why would I?

I'm not hiding anything.

Dal-mi.

My answer is no.

Do you have no backbone?
Don't you resent her?

Hey, I obviously resent her
more than you do.

Then why bring her here?

If you cut ties with everyone
for all sorts of reasons,

you'll be left all alone in the end.

That's why it's easier to forgive
when you're older.

I'm not your age, so I don't know.

Mom has a nice house.

What's she doing here
when she lives in a mansion?

Tell her to leave.

I met her husband.

It looked like he'd hit her
if I sent her back.

That's why I brought her here.

Your mom…

Her life hasn't been as easy
as we thought.

So what should I do?

Do you want me to just kick her out?

Don't you think beef ribs
are a bit too much?

If it's too festive,
Do-san will be uncomfortable.

Still, his team won.
Pork isn't good enough.

That's true.

Let's forgo this, then. We make this
for parties and celebrations, you know.

Okay, sure.

Honey, did you also see
the CEO of Do-san's company?

I sure did.

She's very well-spoken and smart.

Now, I know she didn't lure him
into making her the CEO.

She's surely competent.
A natural CEO, I'd say.

Really?

Then maybe Do-san should
make a move on her.

No, he shouldn't. He should draw a line
between work and his personal life.

Goodness. Look who's talking.

You crossed that line and hit on me.

That's true.

I definitely had a knack
for crossing that line.

Do-san should learn that skill from you.

-I'm home!
-Hi!

Hey, you're back. Did you have dinner?

No, not yet. What's all this?

I just put out the stuff we had.
It's pretty simple.

I'll go wash my hands quickly.

Oh, Dad.

Teach me how to cross that line
between personal and professional life.

Sure.

Hold on. He must've heard everything.

That's not important.

He's saying
he's interested in that CEO girl.

-Honey.
-What?

-Let's take that japchae back out.
-Sounds good.

Are you looking for Mr. Han?

Oh, yes.

He's not texting me back.

He's taking a sick day.

He is? He's not feeling well?

I'm not sure.
He's never taken a day off before.

I'm going to visit him later.

QUESTION BOMBER

Hello?

Hello?

-Hello?
-Hello, it's me.

Mr. Park told me
that you're taking a sick day.

Park Dong-cheon…

He must've misheard me.

I'm just taking a day off.

I'm not allowed to carry over my accrued
vacation days, so I used one today.

I see. I'm glad you're okay.

Anyway, what's up?

Well, you watched Demo Day, right?

Of course. Congratulations.

You guys did really well.

Thank you. We owe it all to you.

No, that's not true.

I didn't even do anything.

All I did was nitpick at everything.

We wouldn't be where we are today
without your nitpicking.

Thank you. I really mean it.

Mr. Han?

Sorry, I'm driving right now.
I'm going on a trip with my friends.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Then…

Have a good day.

You, too.

I WISH YOU SUCCESS

You didn't sound too well,

so I left some abalone porridge
at your door.

What? She was in front of my door?

SHOW CARE THROUGH FOOD

So, how much?

2STO would like to offer you…

three billion won
for acquiring Samsan Tech.

Three billion?

And you'll work at our HQ

in Silicon Valley for three years
following the acquisition.

What do you say?

We can continue to offer
the NoonGil service, right?

Of course.

We'll go through this
and get in touch with you.

We'll hope for a positive response.

Ms. Seo, please let me know.

Will do.

-Yes!
-Yes, three billion won!

-Three billion!
-Three billion!

-Three billion!
-Three billion!

Hey, is this a dream?

Three billion won and 2STO?

Going global is more important.

That's right!

Does this mean we need to come up
with an English name for everyone?

I already have one, Stephanie.

I can speak English,
but business English is different.

Should I get a tutor?

Hang on.

Does it mean the name,
Samsan Tech, will be gone?

But it'll become part of 2STO.

Samsan Tech…

Come on, guys!

Let's focus on the good things.

-Yes, three billion!
-Three billion won!

-Silicon Valley, here we come!
-Yes!

-Three billion won!
-Three billion won!

-Come on, guys!
-Three billion!

-Three billion won!
-Three billion won!

-Three billion won!
-Three billion won!

Jeez, they're so loud.

Why would they acquire Samsan Tech
for three billion?

Don't you think it's odd?

SAMSAN TECH
ON STANDBY 24/7

NAM DO-SAN
INQUIRE TO INVEST

Why are you still here?

Oh, I was about to leave.

Why'd you come back?

I left my phone.

It's that retro business card.

Yes.

That reminds me.

The day I quit my job,

I visited your office
because I was curious.

-Remember?
-Yes.

I almost went to that address that day.

SAMSAN TECH
ON STANDBY 24/7

So where is Seo Dal-mi headed?

What's the address on your business card?

Our office. You've been here.

Let's do this.

You're here.

Wow, this office is huge.

-Is this your office?
-Yes.

SAMSAN TECH
ON STANDBY 24/7

Are you still curious?

About my real office.

What?

Do you want to see it?

Yes.

SAMSAN TECH

It's huge.

-Hey, what's this smell?
-What?

It's from grilling sirloin.

The smell travels all the way
from the famous BBQ restaurant downstairs.

If you eat gimbap here
with your eyes closed,

it'll taste like premium beef.

Come on. No way.

Wait, maybe you're right.
I think I believe you now.

Seriously, for real.

Hey, what's that?

DOSAN TECH

This is still here.

The company was originally called
Dosan Tech, after my name.

So you started it.

Yes.

Why did you pick this place?

The rent is cheap
and the utility bills are cheap here.

And the night view is amazing.

-The night view?
-Yes.

You're right.

This is as nice as the view
overlooking the Han River.

This is where I really started.

Not the office overlooking the Han River.

This was it.

SAMSAN TECH
ON STANDBY 24/7

Do you want to see the office?

-Can I?
-Of course.

Be careful.
There are a lot of steps though.

Watch your step, okay?

Watch your step.

No one wants to move in here.
There's no AC, so it gets very hot.

-Really?
-The landlord even lowered the rent.

This door is broken,
so it normally just opens.

Did something get stuck?

-Do you need a hand?
-No. Dal-mi, step back for a second.

It's dangerous.

Darn it. This is embarrassing.

One, two, three!

-Gosh.
-Chul-san.

-Sa-ha.
-It's so dusty here.

What are you two doing here?

I wonder too.

Whatever you're imagining now
did not happen. Don't get the wrong idea.

What are we imagining?

Stuff that you'd assume
a man and a woman would do.

I can see it in your eyes.

So dirty.

-"Dirty"?
-"Dirty"?

Gosh, let me explain.

I got all sentimental after we talked

about how Samsan Tech would be gone.

So naturally, I wanted to come
to this rooftop office after a long time.

I was spacing out and didn't realize
my backpack was open.

And Sa-ha happened to see it.

"Chul-san, your backpack is open."

But I couldn't hear her,
so I just got on the bus.

"My gosh, does he want to be
pickpocketed?"

She got all worried and followed me.

And here we are.

We didn't do anything "dirty."
We're very clean.

Are we good now?

Do you believe them?

Nope.

Jeez, you annoying pair of cockroaches.

What are you all doing here?

You guys are ridiculous.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Yes, we all came here for the same reason.

Sure, whatever.

-Not "whatever"!
-Not "whatever"!

Hey, what's going to happen to us
after working in Silicon Valley

for three years?

I'd be very rich by then,

so I'm going to build a huge resort

at my family's maesaengi farm.

I'm going to get a dog.

What? That's a humble dream.

I need a house with a big yard
to get a dog.

What about you, Dal-mi? What will you do?

-Me?
-Yes.

I want to…

Never mind. I'll just keep it to myself.

-Why?
-What was that?

-Finish your sentence.
-What do you want to do?

I was thinking

it'd be nice to start another business
with you guys.

-Another business?
-Got a good idea?

Like what?

On Demo Day, we saw

that our algorithm can even work
on single-board computers.

That's right.

We worked very hard to make sure
it'd function well on this tiny phone…

So we drastically reduce the size
without realizing it.

If we managed to do it
with image recognition software,

maybe we can build a self-driving system.

Self-driving system?

That is complete nonsense, Ms. Seo.

It's hard even for big companies

that can pour a ton of money into R&D.

We have money too. That three billion won.

Then tell us your idea.

If it sounds feasible,

I'll give up the resort and join you.

-Me too.
-Same here.

You know, I am the CEO of an AI company.

I've been reading up
on self-driving cars and systems.

I'll list some of the basic equipment
that's absolutely necessary.

A GPS device, a camera, a LiDAR system,

front and rear radar receivers,

and an ultrasonic sensor.

On top of that,
you'd need a full computer system,

and the camera would need
the image recognition system.

You need a ton of equipment,

but if the solution doesn't take up
much space like our app,

I think it'd be doable.

The chart is very well organized.

Make sure there are no typos.

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Mr. Han, how are you feeling?

I was really going to visit you.

Hey, did you tell Ms. Seo
that I wasn't feeling well?

I shouldn't have, right? I'm sorry.

Well, I don't mind
you being a blabbermouth.

What?

Really? Then can I tell you something?

What is it?

Samsan Tech is signing an acquisition deal
with 2STO today.

-Did you say "acquisition"?
-That's right.

-Acquisition, not an investment?
-Yes, you heard me right.

Where is Ms. Seo?

She went to 2STO's office with Do-san

to sign the deal.

What's going on?

-Do you have a copy of the agreement?
-Yes.

I went over it, and it looked fine to me.

Let me see.

You're early.

Did you have good dreams?

No, I couldn't sleep a wink last night
because of this important deal.

You'll sleep very well after this.

Shall we begin?

-Yes.
-Yes.

SAMSAN TECH

Why do you look so worried?

Is there a problem or something?

-No, there isn't.
-Then what's wrong?

That is the problem.

-We must stop their meeting.
-What?

QUESTION BOMBER

Why stop them if there are no problems?

Why would they pay three billion
for an unprofitable start-up?

Here, no help is unconditional.

They must have an ulterior motive.

You'll ruin our future
based on your speculation alone?

What gives you the right
to jump to such conclusions?

-Hey, look.
-Is this what you did to my brother?

Did you tell him he wouldn't make it?

-Your brother?
-What are you talking about?

I'm not jumping to conclusions.

This is acqhiring.

"Acqhiring"?

ACQHIRE: ACQUIRING A START-UP
TO RECRUIT TALENT

Acq… What?

What is that?

They're not acquiring your company
for its value.

All they want is recruit your engineers.

The moment they sign the deal,

your team will be disbanded.

SEO DAL-MI

NAM DO-SAN

I can't help but be curious.

Who has our CEO's heart?

Our majority shareholder, Mr. Nam?

Or our mentor, Mr. Han?

I'm not sure.

How do I figure that out?

You really don't know?

No. I really can't figure it out.

And I'm more curious than anyone.

Who

has my heart?

You'll find out.

Keep observing them,
and you'll have one of those aha moments.

Oh, no.

My gosh.

The moment I first saw you,
my dream became clear.

You said you'd take the whole team.

Do-san.

Blame yourselves for not reviewing
the contract thoroughly.

-So just accept it.
-Did you have to say that?

You said he was talking bullshit.
Now, look what happened!

It might even be harder
than winning a lottery.

What happened?

Would you go if it were you?
Give up on NoonGil and the team?

I would. I'd definitely go.

You're not the Do-san from the letters.
