ONE YEAR AGO

You're still awake?

Your dad is going to be late today.

Let's go to sleep, okay?

Daddy always shows up for my birthday even if it's late.

Okay, fine.

Min-a.

Your birthday hasn't passed, right?

You're cutting it very close.

Gosh, I was trying to get here early,

but there was this major bug…

I know. You have to update to Baro 4.0 every Monday.

All done.

Are you letting it slide?

We're running late, so I'm going to skip the song and just blow out the candles.

Okay.

What did you wish for?

It's a secret.

Come on. You're not even going to tell me?

I wished that you won't be late for my next birthday.

Here.

This is the doll you wanted.

Mommy's gift first.

Right. Mommy's gift.

Here you go.

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY

EPISODE 6 UNLOCKED

Uncle In-seong.

If Min-a's mom was alive,

I'm sure Min-a would've made lots of good memories.

Come on. Don't get all mushy. That is so not like you.

We'll find the real culprit

and you can make lots of good memories for Min-a.

Do you think I'll be able to go back

if we catch the real culprit?

Gosh.

Daddy?

What?

Daddy, is that you?

Where are you, Daddy?

How come you're not here? It's my birthday.

Min-a.

When you go on a business trip,

you always tell me when you're going to come back.

But this time, you didn't show up without even telling me.

I was so scared.

I'm sorry.

I was going to call you, but…

I thought it was because I kept asking you to tell me bedtime stories…

-It's not like that. -You left me.

I would never leave you behind.

You promise?

Yes, I promise.

Don't cry.

Daddy.

Don't cry, Min-a.

-Min-a. -Daddy.

-Don't cry, Min-a. -Daddy.

-Don't cry. -Daddy.

It's okay. Don't cry.

Daddy.

That is…

another reason why we must find the real culprit.

Thank you for your time.

Even when I was sending the e-mail, I had no idea you would agree to do an interview

for the school newspaper.

Oh, I was chosen as the number one entrepreneur by the students here,

so I should repay the favor.

What is your secret to being chosen as the number one

entrepreneur for three years straight?

Oh.

Honestly, whenever I see those articles,

I feel a bit sorry.

You all had to work your way up to where you are now,

but I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

So to be a little less ashamed,

I also worked very hard to get to where I am now.

I see.

I heard that as soon as you graduated,

you were in charge of a subsidiary company.

Yes.

I had courage like you back then.

When I came back to Korea,

I told my father that I want to run a company.

And what did he say?

He gave me a business card.

A business card?

Yes.

That was the first business card I ever got.

BUMYOUNG DRAGONS CEO OH MI-RAN

I'm putting you in charge of the baseball team.

Continuing on with news regarding Bumyoung Group,

The use of the 280,000 pyeong Chungbuk Redevelopment Site Three

owned by Bumyoung has been decided.

There have been many rumors regarding the use of

Chungbuk Redevelopment Site Three.

I'm looking at Mr. Nam's company card records and nothing seems out of place.

What about social media?

I'm looking into the employee's accounts,

but there are just so many.

And if their account is private, then there's nothing we can do.

I also checked the security cameras and he went to

the break room and cafeteria alone most of the time.

But Silver Lining has a lot of clubs.

It's our management philosophy.

Every employee joins the club.

The well-being of the employees is very important.

Isn't it strange though?

What is?

A voluntary introvert joined the hiking club.

It's just formality. It doesn't mean anything.

Oh, really?

Did you join a club as well?

What?

Yes.

What club?

Start-up? English?

Or movie?

Comedy.

The comedy club is given the most funding.

Do you have any routine?

No.

-Show me. -I don't have any.

Show me. Come on, Mr. Kim.

-Show me. -Show me.

"Okay, a bamboo copter."

I just put my name on the list.

Yes, it seems that way.

Wait.

That wasn't the case for Mr. Nam.

What?

SILVER LINING HIKING CLUB

It's the only footprint the ghost left behind.

Who's the club leader?

It's time to leave.

Right. Please just give me a minute.

We should hurry if we are to get there on time.

There he comes.

I've never seen him before.

I forgot to introduce him to you.

I hired a new security guard slash driver.

-Oh, is that so? -Yes.

If you told beforehand, I would've hired someone better…

Hey, asshole. Are you in a hurry?

I'll make it quick and send you to hell then.

Why is he driving instead of Secretary Jung?

I sent her on an errand.

-Hold on tight. -Right.

Of course I know Mr. Nam in sales.

He comes to hike once in a blue moon.

Did he ever talk to anyone when he was hiking?

No.

He never said anything

and never went to have dinner with us afterward.

I just figured he loved hiking.

I see.

Why do you ask?

Did something happen to Mr. Nam?

He hasn't been coming to work these days.

No, nothing like that.

BUMYOUNG DRAGONS PARK

GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY 01ST JULY 2022

Gosh, it's sunny here.

Our country is very large.

You seem happy.

I know.

I hated to see the year end because I hated getting old,

but this is the first time I'm actually looking forward to it.

Are you talking about the shareholder's meeting?

Congratulations in advance.

Come on.

I declare that I'll build the biggest domed stadium

right here in this spot.

It's not about profits,

but following the value of Bumyoung,

which is "A Better Life in Korea,"

because that's the teaching that my father left me before he passed.

What? A business should be about money.

A domed stadium is so out of the blue.

Leave her be.

It's going to be the mistake that will end her.

I would like to announce another teaching

my father left me.

Mr. Park In-seong,

could you come out here?

I will release the self-driving vehicle

which is the Bumyoung Motor Group and Sliver Lining collaborated on

this October 3rd.

I couldn't tell you in advance due to security reasons.

I'm sorry.

We're not ready yet.

Just make sure it's ready to be released on October 3rd.

I'll take care of the rest.

This was after two months.

Sometimes he wouldn't show up for over three months.

I really can't figure out why Mr. Nam

joined the hiking club.

No.

There is a pattern to those dates.

Ms. Oh is trying to release

the self-driving vehicle before the shareholder's meeting

so she can get the upper hand--

Like I don't know that!

Apologies, sir.

They can prepare Baro 4.0

without Kim Seon-ju?

No way.

What is the pattern?

The week he went hiking was

when the Baro 4.0 beta testing results came in.

So he slipped that report to someone else using hiking as a cover?

It's just a theory, but they probably met naturally

using the hiking club as an excuse.

There are no security cameras in the mountains.

I wonder who he met.

You came.

Someone who's waiting for Baro 4.0 eagerly.

Someone who's trying to stop Baro 4.0.

They both will need that report desperately.

Thanks to you holding that shareholder's meeting,

I'll get to become the next CEO.

Sir, take a look at this.

Did you find something?

The days Mr. Nam when hiking,

so did Mr. Kwak.

Mr. Kwak.

Would you like to grab some naengmyeon?

Oh, I should've asked what you like.

It's okay. I like Pyongyang naengmyeon too.

Isn't it a bit bland?

Would you like some vinegar?

No, I'm fine.

-Come on. -I'm really fine.

I should've treated you to lunch sooner.

It was very tactless of me.

You're so busy trying to find new talent.

Well, that is what I do.

So, where do you think Mr. Nam is right now?

Who?

Mr. Nam Sang-won from sales.

He hasn't shown up for work these past few days.

That's all you got?

What about all the money you got?

Silver Lining isn't like a convenience store.

We can't possibly know the whereabouts of every employee.

No, you probably do.

You were in the hiking group together.

I already told you

that my wife and I are living apart.

I got lonely on the weekends

so I just went hiking a few times.

But strangely,

Mr. Nam only showed up

when you showed up.

I don't know.

I don't even know when I went hiking.

Think about it.

We heard things from Mr. Nam as well.

I don't know who told you what,

but I do not appreciate you

cornering me like this without proof.

Sure. Go ahead and eat.

Hi, sweetie. Are you on a date with mommy?

Yes, I'm shopping for clothes.

Daddy.

I told you to eat nutritious food even if it's troublesome.

I know. I only ate like this today.

Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen?

Of course not.

I just called you because I missed you.

Daddy, can I buy tickets to the BTS concert?

They're having a concert in New York, but the tickets are quite expensive.

Go ahead. Don't worry.

I'm a board member of Bumyoung.

Do whatever you want

and see whatever you want there--

Sorry, dad. I'm getting a call from my friend.

-I'll call you later. -Min-ju.

THE VIDEO CALL HAS ENDED

Oh, come on. That brat.

She doesn't even care about her father.

Gosh.

When will you come back to Korea?

Mr. Kwak is insisting that he doesn't know anything.

We need something conclusive.

What are you, detectives?

Conclusive, my foot. We can just choke him.

Do you want a confession out of him?

You're always like that.

You're not even human.

What?

If you act rashly, you'll end up in jail.

Look out!

Oh, where is my head at?

I forgot something.

We're a team now, so we should all have dinner together.

Here.

Your meals will be served soon.

Thank you.

Cheers.

A security guard shouldn't be drinking.

Do I have to teach you everything?

Guys, please…

-He's not on duty-- -Not on duty?

Then I'm going to head home.

-Se-yeon. -This is nice.

Se-yeon.

Se-yeon.

It must be nice to be so kind all the time.

You forgive easily and makeup easily.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

What…

Sir, I can't do this anymore.

If you hired a guy like that,

you should've been prepared for this.

Relationships between people is the hardest.

You're right.

But the one who's good at resolving

strained relationships is you, not me.

That is true.

Can I get this to go?

It's going to get soggy.

You're probably right.

Oh, this is a lot of food.

Thank you.

You're buying dinner all of a sudden?

Come on.

I just wanted to thank you for what you did.

Why did you order this much when it's just the two of us?

It's enough for at least three people.

Oh, it's nothing.

I just wanted to make sure you had plenty to eat.

Gosh, In-seong. You have become generous after you became a CEO.

Oh, what happened to the industrial spy?

What?

Oh, we're still looking.

It must be troublesome.

That's not the only thing that's troublesome.

Being a CEO isn't easy.

The higher-ups keep pressuring me

and the employees fight all the time.

Hey.

Why do you work so hard to earn money?

Don't you know that Bumyoung Motor's stock is skyrocketing?

Just quit and buy some stocks.

Should I?

Yes.

Gosh, I'm just going to quit and…

What…

What?

What's wrong?

What's going on?

What's this?

What is this?

It must be my paycheck.

Wow.

A CEO's paycheck is out of this world.

Right?

Hey, I got paid in cryptocurrency.

There are places that pay you in cryptocurrency?

I mean,

you only see the money in your account for a split second

and then it's gone.

That's true.

It disappeared all of a sudden, I was so surprised.

This is driving me crazy. Why am I not getting my paycheck?

It is today, right?

You waited for a month. Can't you wait one more day?

I am just so excited.

What are you going to do with your first paycheck?

-Me? -Yeah.

I will give a high-quality beef set to my parents.

That sounds nice.

-Right? -Yeah.

Yeah, we'll be devoted sons for a change.

Yeah!

It's here.

We're rich!

We're rich!

Hello. We have grade-A beef.

I'd like this 140,000 won beef set please.

No, the 150,000 won please.

-Make that two, please. -Sure.

Beef.

Thank you.

Oh, the gift is…

We're sorry.

Are you crying?

No.

You at least bought the tuna set.

All I could get was the toothpaste set.

But I felt so sorry

to see them so happy that I bought them toothpaste

with the money I earned.

I know.

Having children is no use.

This won't do. I'm taking them to a department store next time.

Okay.

Let's act like a real son for the first time in 29 years.

Let's do it!

-Oh, the bus is here! -Go ahead.

Bye.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

-I'm off. -Bye.

BALANCE 232,350 WON

Oh…

I'm sorry.

I want to apologize for doing as I please.

After you left, I really regretted it.

I also have someone

I never want to forgive or make up with.

You do?

Yes.

I was rude to you when I had no right.

Gosh, even the way you apologize

is so you.

Your mother has very pretty hands.

She worked her whole life to take care of me,

but now that she's fallen ill, she is finally able to rest.

I wanted to become a hotelier.

Please…

I passed!

I passed!

I passed!

MOM

Oh, gosh.

Mom, I passed…

Your mother is suffering from cerebral hemiplegia

brought on by an acute cerebral stroke.

She's also suffering from a severe head injury which happened when she collapsed

She is alive, but unconscious

so you're going to have to prepare yourself.

HIRING A SECRETARY FOR SLIVER LINING CEO

I wanted to book her a luxurious hotel

with an amazing view,

but in reality,

she isn't able to get up from this hospital bed for a single day.

Se-yeon.

I wanted to answer your question.

You asked me what my dream was when we were at the campsite.

Thanks to you, I was reminded of back then

and it made my heart beat

even though it was just for a while.

Things are not looking good.

As the release date of self-driving vehicle was announced

Bumyoung Motors stock is rising rapidly.

If we hold the year-end shareholder's meeting,

my niece will become the CEO.

What should we do?

This won't do.

I'll have to meet Mr. Park In-seong myself.

BUMYOUNG DEPARTMENT STORE

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, I got this.

Gosh, there's no need to.

Why would you buy gifts for my parents?

Come on. I owe you one.

Plus, I got my very first paycheck.

Hey, my Bumyoung Motors stock skyrocketed.

Fine. At least let me treat you to dinner.

Deal.

Hey, we should also buy them some nice clothes.

Great idea.

We may not have pride, but we have money.

We have pride too.

Yes!

Yeah!

Hello. How can I help you?

I'd like everything from here to there.

Thank you.

"Let's go, baby."

"Love."

"Yeah, right. I'll buy it with money."

"I'll buy everything with money."

"How much?"

"How much do you want?"

What are you doing?

What were you thinking about? Your face is all red.

Strange.

It's nothing. Let's go.

In-seong.

I think someone's following us.

-Who is? -4 o'clock. Suits.

Don't look at him. Act natural.

Oh, he's my security guard.

Oh, security guard.

Wow.

It's a bit small.

You don't wear it there.

You know, I can't keep calling you, "Hey."

So what should I call you?

Like that's important…

People call him MG.

MG?

What does it mean? Machine Gun?

The legendary fist that broke his opponent's mouthguard.

That's why he's called MG.

He used to be a former youth national boxing prospect,

but now he has three previous convictions for assault and is a loan shark.

If you were going to say it to my face,

why did you go through all the trouble of running a background check on me?

I had to get the facts straight.

You'd better choose your next words wisely

or I might have four convictions on my record.

That's me straightening things out.

Wow! It's a bubble!

How did you do that?

How vicious.

If you look at her like that, she's going to get scared.

Can't you just smile?

Gosh, what kind of person are you?

Oh my gosh.

-Are you okay? -Yes. I'm okay.

I'm not scared.

He's like Ha-seung from class two.

He always teases me and steals my snacks.

But my teacher says he does those things because he likes me.

-Here. -What's this?

It's just a shirt. It's for you.

Here.

Why are you giving me this?

In-seong, did you…

Gosh.

Did you throw away the shirt I gave you?

Pardon?

You didn't have to buy me a new one.

I threw away your shirt too.

I thought we would never see each other again.

Oh.

Secretary Jung, what time is the VR seminar?

It's at 2 o'clock at Daejeon Expo Plaza.

I'm going to need you to go on my behalf.

If it's in Daejeon, can I visit my parents afterward?

Sure.

You came all the way over here. Come inside with me.

I'm good.

While I was buying presents, I got something for you, Mr. MG…

Anyway, this is for you.

It's a watch.

It seemed like you use a watch in many different ways,

so I brought you a strong one.

I hope you like it.

Oh my, a purple dress. I love it!

Gosh.

You always wear the same thing.

Oh, you chose a nice one.

And since you like beef…

Do you have money to waste?

Wasting money and not saving it is idiotic.

He said he bought these only because he got the first paycheck.

If you got a job later than others,

you have to save up persistently.

What?

Why do you keep comparing him to others?

Do you want me to compare you to Cho yong-pil and Lee Yong?

Go ahead. I'm confident.

-How dare you. -Dad.

-Ta-da. -What's that?

Glasses.

Are you telling me to wake up and open my eyes?

No, it's not like that.

Try them on.

-I'm fine. -Come on.

-I don't need… -Gosh.

-It will look good on you. -I don't need glasses.

What?

What is it?

Honey.

Honey, what's wrong?

Baro, play "Monalisa" by Cho Yong-pil.

Honey!

Sir.

What?

Sir.

Oh my.

Honey.

Oh my.

Honey. What's wrong?

Sir, I love you.

Gosh, Sir.

-Mr. Park. -Sir.

-Look over there. -Snap out of it.

Look over there.

Mr. Cho Yong-pil is over there.

Are you out of your mind? What is wrong with you?

Snap out of it!

-What are you talking about? -Come over here.

-Why? -See for yourself.

Okay.

-Don't be surprised. -Okay.

Open your eyes.

Oh my gosh.

-It's Cho Yong-pil. -Right?

This is going to boost your father's morale.

I knew he'd like it more than the beef.

But what kind of glasses let you see Cho Yong-pil?

It's AR glasses and our company made it.

AR?

Yes, well…

Remember how we face chatted before?

-Wow. -Pretty cool, right?

What is this?

Remember how my face was in a flower

and was in a dog mask?

I laughed so much back then.

It's the same with those glasses.

We added Cho Yong-pil

with computer graphics in the real world.

I see.

So the Cho Yong-pil he's seeing is fake?

Wow. Amazing.

Sir. Oh my gosh.

Mom, I'm getting a call.

Oh my gosh, Sir.

Gosh.

I'm sorry. I took up too much of your time, right?

How did you come up with the idea to give your parents AR glasses as a gift?

Pardon?

Good job.

Should I be getting compliments for this?

Of course you should.

Thanks to you, I came up with an idea

to corner Mr. Kwak.

Do you think it'll work?

It's perfect in the technical aspect.

As long as we show great teamwork, it should work.

KIM SEON-JOO

We have to aim for when he's asleep.

Thank you.

Mr. Kwak.

Thank you for lunch.

I'm sorry I cornered you that day

when I didn't even have evidence.

Again with that. The misunderstanding has been resolved, so it's fine.

I'm full and starting to get sleepy.

Let's grab a cup of coffee. It's on me.

It's fine. I'll get it.

That's strange.

Is the cafe here?

Yes, the sky lounge view is amazing.

Oh.

Why are all the elevators out of order?

Where are the workers?

Let's take the stairs. It'll help us digest.

To the sky lounge?

Yes.

ELEVATOR OUT OF ORDER

Take your time.

The coffee is going to be really good. Right?

Sir.

Maybe the elevator has been fixed by now.

Come on. We're almost there.

Let's just think about it as working out.

We need to climb 15 more flights of stairs.

It won't take long.

Come on. Let's go.

36th floor.

What…

What?

It's locked.

Is that so?

Let's have coffee some other time then.

What?

What are you doing? Lunch time is over.

Let's get to work.

We're coming down.

Gosh.

Wear your seatbelt.

There.

Secretary Jung. Mr. Kwak seems tired.

Turn on the massage function.

Okay. He's asleep.

-Secretary Jung. -Yes?

Music. Turn on the music.

Yes, Sir.

Oh, I love this song.

Right?

Gosh, Secretary Jung.

You should've woken me up if we arrived.

Secretary Jung?

Mr. Kim.

How are you here? It's not possible.

Why did you do that at the golf court that day?

Why did you do that to me?

I was given an order.

Did you have a nice dream?

It's not like that…

It's too late to weasel your way out of this.

It's not possible for Mr. Kim to be here.

I was given an order.

I know you are not the one who planned it.

You don't have the personality or guts to do such a thing.

Who gave the order?

Pardon?

I'm not sure what you're…

I don't know

how deeply you're involved in this.

But you do know one thing.

Mr. Kim Seon-ju was attacked.

Attacked?

I thought he was taking a sabbatical due to health issues.

You can keep on pretending like you don't know what I'm talking about.

But

I wonder what will happen to the tail that has been cut off.

Oh.

Do you really think they'll protect you until the end?

Or

do you think they'll look away like they're doing now?

What the hell did you do?

That kid seems to know everything.

No, I can't trust you.

I will go and talk in person.

Do you think Mr. Kwak will move as planned?

To him, his safety is the most important thing.

If he is cornered, he will easily pledge loyalty

to someone else to save his ass.

Humans aren't good at holding back

when something unfair happens to them.

If he doesn't want to be their scapegoat, he'll tell us everything.

He'll call us for sure.

Gosh.

MR. OH YOUNG-GEUN

Humans…

Hello?

Yes, Sir.

I enjoyed the apples.

You should be proud of your parents.

I heard growing apple trees is really difficult.

Is that true?

It is difficult.

I supposed so.

The sweeter the fruit is,

the more insects will devour it.

Why did you want to see me?

Just like how your parents grew apple trees,

I devoted my life to growing Bumyoung.

But a pesky insect keeps

making holes in my tree.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

If the condition is critical, we would either cut it down or burn it

to prevent further damage.

I like that.

It's the same with business.

My hasty niece

announced the release of the self-driving vehicle.

You also know very well that

she's just using the media.

Why do you think that?

Well,

because Mr. Kim isn't in a state to release a self-driving vehicle.

Don't you think so?

Oh, were you asleep?

I'm sorry. What about Min-ju?

It's nothing. I just wanted to know if you were doing okay.

Yeah, I just called.

Get some sleep.

Bye.

ROOM 316 NAM O WON

Do you know the symbolic meaning of apples?

It's seduction, wisdom and success.

Go back and think about

whose side you're on and think wisely.

I am not on anyone's side.

It is nice to be young.

But

If you don't stand with me,

I can't guarantee your safety.

Are you threatening me?

Of course, not.

Let's just say this old man is concerned.

IMPYEONG MENTAL HOSPITAL 2KM

Mr. Oh said that?

Yes.

I wonder if he knows something

or if he's trying to find something out.

I just can't be sure yet.

Hello?

This is Kwak Sam-soo.

Yes, Mr. Kwak.

I need to see you. There's something I need to give to you.

-To me? -I'll tell you the truth about that day.

Come alone.

Mr. Kwak, wake up.

Mr. Kwak

If you don't stand with me,

I can't guarantee your safety.

Mr. Kwak, please wake up.

Help me!

Please call an ambulance!

Mr. Kwak!

No, he called me and asked me to meet up.

He wouldn't commit suicide.

Yes, that's what I think.

Arrest him.

From now on, anything you say can

and will be used against you in a court of law.

and the location is near Yeongbo Park.
