(Golden Glove Awards Lim Dong Gyu on Outfield)

- He's really cool. - Yes, of course.

- That's why. - Gosh.

Do you want to set an interview?

We'll give you a call back soon.

Gosh. I'll treat you to some drinks, so don't worry about it.

Yes. Okay. Mr. Baek.

Mr. Baek.

Mr. Baek.

Did you watch the Golden Glove Awards yesterday?

Lim Dong Gyu won two awards.

Yes.

Everyone's going crazy because of that.

He's donating the 3,000-dollar award money...

to the team for baseball equipment.

The 4,000-dollar award money from the Fair Play Award...

will be donated to people who live in poor housing conditions.

Did he get an award for fair play?

That's how good Dong Gyu is.

About trading him out...

Here's your award winner, Lim Dong Gyu.

Gosh, Dong Gyu.

Are you prepared for your interviews?

Why do you always give me so much work to do?

You wouldn't have any work if it wasn't for me.

I still get paid even if there's no work.

All right, everyone.

Dong Gyu will be treating the team...

to a dinner tonight.

Really?

Mr. Baek.

Do you like lamb meat?

I don't.

Yes.

I have a question, Mr. Baek.

Is it about Dong Gyu?

Do you know a lot about Dong Gyu?

I don't know him personally.

I don't know him personally either.

Mr. Baek, do you know what WAR is?

Wins Above Replacement, isn't it?

Yes.

Dong Gyu is among the top five players,

including pitchers in the league,

who contributed to wins.

Yes indeed. He's an amazing player.

I'm talking about Dreams' franchise star,

Lim Dong Gyu, to the new general manager of the team.

Did you watch his speech when he won the award yesterday?

Yes. That he wants to retire from Dreams when the time comes,

and that his goal is to get a retired number.

If he stays on the team for a couple more years,

he'll become eligible for a retired number.

Also,

the sales of his uniform is 70 percent of all uniform sales.

That means 70 percent of the fans wearing uniforms at the game...

will have his name on their backs.

Do you understand the depth of this situation while doing this?

I'm really curious to know how much you really know...

about Dreams.

I'm doing my best to learn more,

and I probably know much more than what you think.

- By the way, Ms. Lee. - Yes?

Did the previous general manager...

also report to you before making decisions?

No.

Does this mean I have to persuade you when I work?

This is something really important.

If it's so important,

does that mean that I have to...

wait for your permission before I make a decision?

Are you telling me that I need your permission...

because I'm not as experienced as the previous general manager?

Are you going to stand there all day?

I'll get going now.

Lim Dong Gyu.

What?

What?

You can talk informally to me.

This is my home.

The Dreams is my home.

I've accomplished an awful lot here in the past 11 years.

But one day, some clueless kid that knows nothing about baseball...

came in and is trying to take my home away from me.

I guess people calling you General Manager...

made you forget how inexperienced you are.

Would you leave your house when your housemaid tells you to?

I don't have a housemaid.

I've hit 270 home runs in my 11 years of being here.

How many safe hits do you think I've made?

How many games did Dreams win thanks to me?

Do you understand...

how ridiculous your so-called plans are?

Lim Dong Gyu.

Dong Gyu, the baseball player hits home runs and safe hits.

I'm someone who reorganizes the team...

and makes trade-offs. It's my job.

Are we just on different levels?

No, we just have different positions to begin with.

Shut up and let me just show you.

I'll show you how much power...

a star player who spent last 11 years in the same region has...

on the team.

Are you training at this late hour?

How's work treating you?

Sorry I made the decision without consulting you first.

Are you really going to go ahead?

Are you going to go against it?

It's not going to be easy.

You know that it's the right thing to do.

I'll get going now.

What's your problem?

I'm sorry.

You just rolled in out of nowhere,

how dare you be so arrogant?

Huh?

What are you doing?

- What would you like? - Hello.

Two beef ribs, please.

No, we'll just take two pork necks,

one bottle of soju and one bottle of beer, please.

Okay.

Let's just get beef.

It's on me.

- I'm not there yet. - What now?

I'm not that desperate for beef...

that I'll let some inexperienced newbie...

treat me to a meal.

I want beef.

I'll be the nobleman that does good to the poor.

You should've gone home if you wanted beef,

you bourgeoisie.

Don't you dare try to change the commoner's preferences.

I'm better off not remembering how good beef tastes.

Commoners deserve to be treated at times too.

Look.

Isn't that Lim Dong Gyu?

You're right. Let's just pretend that we didn't see him.

It's not like we're the ones trading him off.

He's coming.

Turn your head away.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello, what brings you here?

They're some friends I know.

Hello.

Hello.

I should treat you.

No, it's fine.

Barbecue is the best when paid on my own.

Have a great night.

You're being too distant.

Enjoy your dinner then.

Thank you.

Hello?

Who?

(Emergency Center)

Hello,

I received a call from you regarding the patient Baek Seung Soo.

You mean the one who got assaulted?

Yes. How is he?

He's getting some rest.

How do you know him?

I'm his colleague.

Why did you contact me?

He has no numbers saved on his contacts,

so I called the most recent number on his call history.

What?

- Why? - We don't know why.

Why doesn't he save numbers on his phone?

Seems like he got beaten up in a fight.

He's too old for fights.

Don't stay immature like him when you grow old.

Please don't talk behind my back.

I'm hanging up now.

And who's old?

You can go home.

Don't move yet.

I'm fine alone,

just get out of my way.

We received a call.

You got unilaterally beaten up?

Can you describe the people who attacked you?

They were big,

wearing baggy pants...

and shirts with fancy patterns.

You'll be able to spot them...

on the surveillance camera installed on the food alley.

It was Dong Gyu, wasn't it?

What are you talking about?

I ran into Dong Gyu...

at a restaurant right before coming here,

and he was with two guys.

Two guys who looked exactly like the guys you described.

Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions?

I had no idea how scary of a person Dong Gyu is.

Is he doing this because he's being traded off?

What Dong Gyu is thinking isn't that important.

I'll head in now.

Okay.

About Dong Gyu,

I'm not asking you this because you need my approval,

but do you really have to trade him off?

What if he beats you up again?

That's my job.

I'm going to call the police for you,

so that he gets arrested for paying someone to beat you up.

Don't you ever do that.

Why not?

What general manager hands off his best player to the police?

I have to raise him well...

and sell him off for a good price.

Is that really what's important?

I guess it is.

But still...

Seriously?

Are you home?

Who did that to you?

I'll give you more allowance if you pretend you didn't see it.

Tell me.

I'm not the type of person who lets someone just beat me up.

Then?

Don't you remember?

I put up with things even in a ssireum team.

This is a joke compared to then.

- Are you really okay? - Yes.

These kinds of guys are easier to deal with.

We're getting used to each other.

(Batting Average)

(Positions)

(Swing Rate)

Hi, Hong Man. It's me.

Here's your Byun coffee.

Is it because he's young? He's so dynamic.

He should've just gone with mixed martial arts.

I would've taken my day off and rested at home if I were him.

What's that? He's letting everyone know that he got beaten up.

He used to work in a small field,

so he doesn't know the importance of authority.

He might not last for a long time anyway.

Trading Lim Dong Gyu won't even be approved.

- Right? - Right.

- Byun coffee is the best indeed. - Thanks.

About the guy you met yesterday,

he didn't seem badly injured. Good work.

- Should we beat him again? - No, no.

I know you guys are tired.

Your punches weren't strong because you were tired, no?

I'll call you again, after getting it done properly.

Did he go somewhere?

(Kim Kwan Sik)

It's Kim Kwan Sik.

(Kim Kwan Sik)

What is it?

I'll escort you to your house today.

Don't make a fuss. I don't want my way home to be awkward.

Did you think of topics to talk about for the 20 minutes?

- No. - Then I'll just go.

Twenty minutes are too long.

I have so many topics that I need to choose from them.

Oh, don't feel uncomfortable. They're all work-related.

Are you still choosing a topic?

Pardon?

Did you want to trade Lim Dong Gyu because of his personality?

I didn't know he was this low.

It's not that I'm still against it,

knowing this situation.

But...

to think if anyone could replace him,

it makes me frustrated.

Right, I'm working on that.

Can't you work on it with us, the Operations Department?

This is part of our duty, you know.

- Do you know that car? - What?

It's been following us for some time.

(Hong Man)

Get off.

- Darn. - I said, get off.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

- Get off the car. - Darn it.

- Get off. - Get off already!

Goodness. The police... The police.

- The police. - No.

Not the police.

- What are you doing? - Get off.

I said, get off!

- Hey. - Yes, Hong Man.

- Okay. - Who's Hong Man?

You need to call the police!

Not the police, I said.

- Get off. - Get off already!

- Come out, you punk! - Hey!

- Darn it. - Open the doors.

That's my car.

No, no.

You just rammed into our car.

You little...

Why aren't they smashing my car?

Who are you?

I'm ssireum player Cheon Hong Man.

Who's that?

I can't believe they don't know me, the ssireum champion.

Is he on our side?

Forget it. I also have many friends in this area.

I might know a lot of your acquaintances.

It could be embarrassing to see each other later on a drinking occasion.

I'll give you a chance to go back quietly.

You son of a...

You little...

Gosh, you punks.

Why did you do it?

While we were driving... We do this from time to time.

People call it a payback driving, you know.

Hey.

I was busy training myself that I never broke any laws.

And you see me as a good civilian?

Revenge driving is the right term.

Right, I know.

Are you sure no one's behind you?

What?

Well, yes.

If someone made you do this,

do tell him. This is the last time I let it slide.

Okay.

Well, then.

You're badly hurt.

Is that from yesterday?

Well, I'm okay now. Thank you.

That piece of trash.

Should I go talk to him?

No, he takes up 70 percent of the uniform sales.

- Pardon? - What?

It means he's someone very important. Well, thanks.

This is why I told you that I'd go alone.

And this is why I offered you a ride.

They wouldn't have done this if I've taken public transportation.

By the way, who was that earlier?

He was the captain when I worked as a general manager a ssireum team.

He came just in time.

Right.

I'll be at work late in the afternoon tomorrow.

Okay.

But why?

How frustrating.

(Seo Yeong Ho)

Here!

Safe.

You've come far on a cold day like today.

- Who are you? - Hello.

I'm Baek Seung Soo, the general manager of the Dreams.

You're General Manager Kim Jong Mu of the Vikings, aren't you?

That's me.

(General Manager Kim Jong Mu of the Vikings)

You got the wrong person.

Fine. Yes, I am.

What is it?

Are you here to see this school's third baseman,

Son Seung Min?

He's a rising star in our district.

Gosh.

This isn't a tampering or anything.

It's not.

I just came to see his face, that's all.

I see.

Have you heard the news about us?

What news?

You did, didn't you?

You're quick with getting news, aren't you?

By the way,

why do you want to sell him?

Lim Dong Gyu is such a strong hitter.

We're not selling him. I'm not trying to sell him.

I'm just saying we might offer him up...

for a possible deal with the Vikings.

Gosh.

I ran away from Seoul since it's so noisy there.

Now you're the one giving me a headache.

Even if it gives you a headache, why don't we talk...

to make a deal where we both win?

Nice.

- Hey! - Yes.

Good!

Is he here?

- He's not. - What?

What kind of person is he?

He suddenly wants to trade Lim Dong Gyu.

If Dong Gyu leaves right now, it'll be chaos.

Dong Gyu is in every picture of our team.

Dong Gyu must be so speechless.

Gosh.

It makes more sense for Dong Gyu to trade off our general manager.

I don't know.

The older I get, things like passion make me...

feel pressured thanks to people like him.

It's because he doesn't come from a baseball background.

Do you think he'll really send Dong Gyu away?

That's what he's saying.

"I mean it."

Didn't you hear him say that?

If he sends Dong Gyu away, we should see who he brings.

Whoever he brings, Dong Gyu...

is still the top player in this region.

It's not something he has to get our approval for.

But do you agree that he is being reckless...

as soon as he started his job?

Is a general manager not a general manager if he's new?
