(Mental Coach Jegal)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
One thing that life has in common with sports...
is that no one can foresee the result.
As a hectic rally ensues...
and big and small results add up,
there comes a time when you reach match point.
Open the door.
(Dr. Park)
I always said this to you.
In life, there are always things that we can't control.
The only person you can and should save is you.
So please.
Make a different choice this time.
Match point.
When you're down to one last point that decides who wins.
- Hello? - Jegal Gil.
Jegal Gil!
Are you listening?
- Gil? - Yes, I'm listening!
Cha Moo Tae's in danger.
- Go to Moojin Reservoir now. - What?
Right at that moment, I decided to make a different choice.
Wait. Just wait!
Here, take it.
This is what you want, right? Are we done?
I have to dash. See you.
Here's the lid.
Instead of winning, I chose to save.
The ball's in the air,
and no one knows how it will go yet.
(Episode 15: Match Point)
Punks.
(Episode 15)
I told you not to challenge national team athletes!
The scumbags.
- Are you okay? - Hey, that hurt.
Did you bring the ledger?
Hand them over.
The ledger? I don't have it.
- What? - I gave it away.
You gave it away? To whom?
I was rushing over here and a whole gang came after me.
They blocked me with a van and smashed the windows.
So I gave it away.
How could you give it to them?
That ledger is my lifeline!
Did you expect us to let you join our side that easily?
What?
Someone said that...
if I changed, the world might change too.
So I'm going to try to make different choices now.
I'll take sides with someone I can't stand siding with.
Grab hold if you want to live.
You idiot! How could you hand over the ledger?
Forget it, then. Let's go, Moo Tae.
Okay.
Hey, wait. Wait for me.
- Get in. - You don't have the ledger?
We have the ledger.
(Taekwondo Uniform Replacement Consignment Contract)
(Investment Agreement)
What about Cha Moo Tae?
We found him with Gu Tae Man.
Gu Tae Man?
He seemed to have liked Cha more than we thought.
He knew about the ledger too.
Then even Jegal Gil appeared.
All three were on the national team, and they were hard to beat,
so we backed down once we got the ledger.
We have a leash on Gu Tae Man, so there's nothing he can do,
but what about Cha Moo Tae's phone?
I'm sorry, sir. We didn't get it.
Why did you do such a terrible job?
The text messages and call history.
Didn't you know that could be incriminating?
I'm sorry, sir.
We know where he lives with his family,
so I don't think he will act out rashly.
I'll take care of him right away.
What do you think you'll take care of?
If you stop, Father, they'll have no reason to go on.
Please, stop here and now.
What do you know about business? Get out!
I don't know about business,
but I do know you shouldn't do this to others.
You never used to go this far.
Dad!
Until now,
the reason I didn't do this to you...
was because you were...
a good girl without my having to do this.
The reason I'm doing this now...
is that if I don't,
I stand to lose...
even more.
Seung Ha.
I don't...
want to lose...
my little girl.
Do you understand?
They say kids are the biggest problem of all.
What should I do about her?
Mr. Kim!
My gosh.
You call that a car? Have it towed.
You're the one who got in.
What? Don't you care anymore that I'm your senior?
Then take a taxi home.
You threw away my lifeline. We need a contingency plan.
Then wait here.
Do you see this? Wait.
Stop and wait right here.
What? Darn you, punk.
Moo Tae.
People from my company came by?
It must've been scary.
You look like a mess.
I was like this all the time when I was training. I'm fine.
How's Mom?
Moo Tae.
Oh, dear.
Thank you, dear merciful Buddha.
You're home and that's all I wanted.
You're home.
- Gil. - Hey.
- Are you okay? - How are you?
As you can see, I'm fine.
Hi.
Thank you, coach.
For coming back safe and sound.
I promised you that I would.
You cried?
Ga Eul, you've turned into a crybaby.
My gosh.
Nice life.
Oh, boy.
Father!
- Hey, son. - Hello!
You must've been exhausted.
No, not at all.
This isn't my first rodeo.
I enjoyed the extra large serving of beef bone soup...
and slept like a baby.
He must be exhausted though.
That's right. You snored all night, so I couldn't sleep.
Let's go for some hangover soup.
- Let's go, Father. - Okay.
The thing is, I've been doing it for years.
What's with the sudden crackdown? What was it about?
It doesn't matter. It's not like we committed a serious crime.
It's just what happens when they target you.
What do you say? Should I tell the reporters to do a story on this?
Gosh, you do this any chance you get to make money.
Hey! The club can operate because I earn money.
Hey, the ledger. The director asked me if the ledger was real.
He won't believe me. Hand it over.
The ledger? I don't have it.
What do you mean? You...
Let's go and have some hangover soup!
What did you do with the ledger?
With that ledger,
we can't take down Park Seung Tae anyway.
On paper,
it looks like Gu Tae Man was the one who approved everything.
Then let's take Gu Tae Man down.
"Taekwondo Gold Medalist in Rigging Scandal 13 Years Ago,"
"Now at Center of Sports Corruption Case."
Nice, that's nice. Then you can get your revenge too.
It's great in many aspects.
We can tie it to Jin Tae's case too.
That will be nice, but...
Will Assemblyman Park sit back and do nothing?
An admissions scandal involving his son...
will negatively impact his political career.
Will he let that happen?
That's right. You saw what happened yesterday.
We're like powerless ants that can be swept away in one blow.
I'm not that pathetic.
Yes, we're not that bad.
His analogy was on point.
In any case, they already have the ledger.
Based on what happened yesterday,
I don't think Park Seung Tae will go down easily.
So, do you have a plan?
Sorry to interrupt, but will this work?
This.
"Sir, S sent eight million dollars..."
"on the 14th."
What's "S?"
Oh, it stands for Sangeon Group.
I see.
"Send it to K." What's "K?"
It stands for the name of another company.
But it's a long name, so I don't remember.
Oh, look. "Send me Seung Min's match schedule."
He bribed the referee!
These texts alone tell me that Park Seung Tae is...
You know, what's that word?
- The real owner. - Yes! That's right.
This is irrefutable evidence, don't you think?
Be polite, will you?
Darn you. Even in this situation?
It could make him look suspicious,
but this isn't enough to prove that he's the real owner.
From the foundation to the agency,
his name isn't mentioned in any of the documents.
Everything's in my name.
I heard the business itself...
wouldn't have any serious legal issues.
The problem is K.
Most of the money went to them...
when the work was outsourced to them.
But no one knows anything about K.
You don't know anything either? You must have their account info.
All the account info is saved on the company's main computer.
We were only allowed to use the computers in the office.
This is what people do to send money to a dummy company abroad.
All right.
What we must find.
This, K.
Gil.
- Gil. - Yes?
Spare me a moment.
Why?
What?
- What is it? - No idea. Hey, what is it?
- What's up? - Why? Hey, what is it?
What's going on?
"We?"
Why is that jerk talking as though he is one of us?
My point, exactly. We should beat him up, if anything.
"We?" Why?
That's right. That jerk deliberately messed with us.
All right. Listen up, guys.
We have no cards in our hands.
And Gu Tae Man is a key insider.
The most accurate information...
How can we trust that the information is accurate?
Park Seung Tae blindsided him too.
The ledger could destroy him.
He has no choice but to join hands with us if he wants to survive.
I object. I can't sleep with the enemy.
What? Are you Sharon Stone in "Sleeping With the Enemy?"
Sharon Stone? That's "Basic Instinct."
Julia Roberts was in "Sleeping With the Enemy."
Oh, they look alike.
- Not at all. - Not at all.
In any case, this is too dangerous.
If he betrays us again, we're totally doomed.
You see, Tae Man is selfish,
but he's not complete trash...
Once trash, always trash.
Some can be recycled.
I'm okay with Cha Moo Tae, but Gu Tae Man is...
Hey, we have Moo Tae's phone.
You don't think Park Seung Tae will be after it?
If we do nothing, he'll counterattack right away.
That's Moo Tae's problem.
That means it's my problem too.
Why is that? Why?
Because he likes him.
When you like someone, you want to protect the person.
Right?
- What? - What?
Is that why, Gil?
Gil, you and Moo Tae...
Hey, come here. What on earth are you talking about?
All right, listen up.
Once the ledger is out in the open,
Gu Tae Man will end up taking the fall for everything.
Do you think he'll stay quiet?
Do you think he'll let that happen?
- Why aren't they coming out? - Obviously, they don't trust us.
I see.
(Assemblyman Park Seung Tae)
Hey, about this phone. If you keep this...
Hold on.
(Assemblyman Park Seung Tae)
You won't answer it?
No. It's someone from the Union. I don't have to answer it.
Anyway, where were we?
Your phone...
All right, guys. Let's come up with a plan together.
Okay. You have access to accurate insider information.
Professor Gu Tae Man, you're a key insider.
The dummy company abroad as known as K.
How can we find this company?
- You can't. - Hey, seriously!
Hey, what is a dummy company?
It's a false company that only exists on paper.
And it's in a different country.
Even prosecutors can't find such dummy companies.
If it were that easy, all the powerful politicians...
and business tycoons would be behind bars now.
You think you can do it without investigative rights?
You're being ridiculous.
- I can't believe this. - What did I say?
- Did you hear that? - Hey, get out!
- Calm down, guys. - Hey, go home.
Then why are you here?
You must've come here because you had an idea.
On the foundation's main computer,
you can find donation transaction records.
And on the agency's main computer,
the foreign dummy company's account info is saved.
All right. With these two things,
we can get the prosecution involved.
Then what if they hit the foundation and the agency?
Everything's been cleared out already, of course.
I went to the spot where I told them to hide stuff,
and there was nothing there.
They had been moved elsewhere already.
We can't find them without the help...
of another insider.
What? There's another insider?
- No. - Darn it.
- Hey, seriously! - What's with you?
There isn't. What? There's no one else.
- Darn you. - What's with him?
- You jerk! - What's your problem?
What do we do, then?
Okay, so there's nothing we can do?
Then what do we do?
You're the one who's in a pickle because of the ledger. Not me!
Is there really nothing we can do?
There is a way.
(No Medal Club)
Park Seung Ha is the only insider we can count on.
He's her father.
Can you stab your own father in the back?
I can't.
But she's already done it once.
She helped you when you stole the ledger.
Back then, she didn't know things would get out of hand like this.
She stepped in to persuade her father to stop.
Now, the situation is different.
Hey, she said...
I'd have no idea what it's like...
to have been a powerless bystander for over 30 years.
Their world could be very different from the world we live in.
Of course, you'd do whatever it takes...
to survive.
Darn it. I must've been out of my mind.
I can't believe I considered joining hands with a jerk like you.
This is why you should always stick to what you know...
and never venture out.
Moo Tae is in danger too.
Hey, knowing about the dummy company.
That alone will endanger Moo Tae.
Assemblyman Park might take action.
Besides, is there any other way?
Okay. Guys, why are you gathered here?
What is it?
What?
What...
I heard about the ledger...
and how Mr. Gu could take the fall.
It's the kind of thing my dad would do.
I've seen it being done many times.
Others took the fall...
so that his hand would be squeaky clean.
When I was young, I respected my father.
While growing up,
I tried my best to understand his ways.
Once I knew how the world functioned,
I tried rebelling.
In the end, I came to this conclusion.
That there's a world I couldn't possibly change.
What I only had control over...
was changing my own ways.
If I change,
if I do better,
it could have a positive influence on the world.
It turns out I was wrong.
No matter how hard I try, one person will never change.
And that's my father.
All this time,
I've been preaching words to you that I don't believe myself.
Ten years ago and even now,
I failed to treat you.
You didn't.
Thanks to you, I made a different choice...
for the first time in my life.
I'm putting my trust in someone that I don't want to trust.
So you haven't failed. At least, not yet.
You never know.
Things might actually change this time.
I only draw the best cards, you see.
You wouldn't listen if I told you to stop, right?
I don't want to see you get hurt.
If there's anything I can do, I'll gladly help.
All you've done so far...
is enough.
Then, know this about Cha Moo Tae's phone.
It's dangerous to possess.
This is all I can do for you.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
If you're sorry, could you do me one last favor?
I appreciate you driving me here, Tae Man.
What? Unbelievable.
Must you be that formal with me?
It's time you cut it out.
Look at Gil. He talks to me...
like I'm his pal, but you...
Once my senior, always my senior.
You're good-natured to a fault.
- Head inside, then. - I'll get going.
- Moo Tae. - Yes?
I've been thinking about your phone.
It's dangerous to have it on you.
- You live with your family. - Right.
Let me have it. I'll keep it somewhere safe.
What's with that face?
Don't you trust me?
We're in the same boat now.
It's not like that, Tae Man.
Place it with me. It's safer that way.
(Assemblyman Park Seung Tae)
(Today: Missed calls)
(Calling Assemblyman Park Seung Tae)
It's me, Assemblyman Park.
Mom, I'll take over.
- You should get some rest. - It's fine.
As if you can actually cook.
One shows up all bruised up...
after being out somewhere...
while you...
I understand how boys will be boys,
but you shouldn't get beaten up too.
- Mom... - Better yet,
don't do anything worth being punished for.
You know how coaches can be.
Coaching young athletes can be frustrating...
and being humans themselves,
once in a while...
- Coach Oh must've called you. - Just...
do better.
All we need is for you to do better.
Head back to the training center after your meal.
Mom.
You see, I...
Mom, can you look at me? I have something to tell you.
Go ahead.
Can you put down the knife?
- Mom. - Just...
Just don't say you're retiring.
You worked hard to get this far,
so why throw it away because of a coach?
Let him be a monkey for all I care.
All you need to do is to do your best.
Mom, that isn't it.
Ga Eul.
You can do this.
I know it.
If you also crumble,
I won't have the will to live.
Coach.
Ga Eul, hold on.
I thought you could use this office for the time being.
It's been vacant for a while, but...
It's nice and cozy.
What do you think?
- I'll wait outside, then. - Sure.
Why don't we have a seat?
(For Those Who Seek Their Paths)
Dr. Song,
this is Jegal Gil. Right.
There's something I'd like to discuss with you in private.
If that's the case, we should talk in private.
All right. I'll make the time.
Many have been saying...
how the short-track team could underperform.
The recent World Cup event...
let all of their worries subside.
On that note, I once again show you my support.
Until the Olympics,
I ask that you keep on training harder...
under the guidance of Head Coach Oh Dal Sung.
Applaud.
Gosh, there's no need for that.
- Good job. - Thank you.
- This is Jo Ji Young. - Thank you.
- Kim Moo Young. - Thank you so much.
- This is Mo A Reum. - Thank you.
And I'm Oh Dal Sung.
You haven't been here in a while, so why don't we grab a meal?
Hold on. It's like we're missing a few skaters.
Well, they're recovering from their injuries.
I see.
Dr. Song, you should join us. It'll be my treat today.
It seems as though...
you skate with your face.
I got drunk and tripped.
Shall we?
Dial down on the drinking, darn it. What a disgrace.
I doubt I drink as much as you though.
Could something have happened to Sun A and Ga Eul?
They've been AWOL for two days.
Coach Oh not saying anything scares me more.
Why isn't he asking about them?
Actually,
Ga Eul called me that night.
- Ga Eul? - What did she say?
This has to stay between us.
It's just a hunch of mine...
- Let's keep it up. - Yes, sir.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- I'll see you later. - Sure.
(I'm on the national team that represents Korea.)
Dr. Song.
- Well... - What is it?
Have you...
Well...
I'm just asking, just in case.
Did Oh Sun A or Cha Ga Eul say anything?
What do you mean? About what?
It's nothing at all.
They went absent without leave.
I hit them a few times to teach them a lesson.
You know how sensitive they get before a competition,
and how I get antsy too.
So I wanted to ask if you'd heard anything.
- Coach Oh. - Yes?
As you know, in my field,
unless the athlete voices their opinion,
in all cases and situations, we are not allowed to divulge.
I get that very well.
I just need you to stick to that rule.
As you did so far.
Goodbye.
To be honest, I'm not sure I can do it.
My mom can't imagine this even in her wildest dreams.
And if people were to find out,
what about my career?
You're afraid you'll have to...
quit skating if the truth of what happened comes out.
Naturally.
Everyone will gossip about me.
They might blame me.
For flirting.
That's what I thought Ga Eul did.
What do you think, Ga Eul?
I'm okay with anything.
But I'm really worried about my mom.
I see.
Let's all...
take some time to think about what to do.
Whatever decision you make,
I'm always on your side.
Do you understand?
Yes.
- Go on inside. - I'll see you off first.
Okay, then.
Let's go.
Okay.
Shall we have a word, Sun A?
It was a tough few days.
Forget it all and sleep.
Coach.
Can I ask you something?
Yes.
If...
Coach Oh had called me to come over,
and I had refused,
would it not have happened?
I know it's a stupid question.
But...
I keep wondering.
That night,
why did I go to him so meekly?
That late at night, when I knew something was off?
Did I subconsciously...
want or expect preferential treatment?
Did I bring it upon myself?
I think that's what people will say.
I don't want to think so,
but what should I do if I can't help it?
Tell the punk that built a house in your mind for him to live in.
That he should get lost immediately.
That it's his fault.
That he's in the wrong.
If he'd acted properly, it wouldn't have happened.
Fight the voices that criticize and blame you endlessly.
Tear them to pieces and win.
The real opponent we face...
isn't Coach Oh or the public.
It's the thought in your head.
Can you do that?
Yes.
Don't ever forget this.
It wasn't your fault.
It's Moo Tae's phone.
An ex-athlete thinks differently.
You switch from offense to defense in a second.
I tend to stay out of fights I can't win.
You must be disappointed in me.
The purpose of a safety device is to prevent an explosion.
Not to kill everyone involved.
I understand your intention.
I knew you would.
You're able to see the big picture.
I had no intention of abandoning you.
You're too smart.
You're just too smart,
so I kept a leash on you.
Let's let Moo Tae off the hook.
You won't gain anything by taking this too far.
How can I trust a one-time traitor?
I think he just lashed out.
His family means everything to him,
and he found out Coach Oh sexually assaulted his sister.
He lost his mind.
Sexual assault?
Oh Dal Sung?
Yes. If he'd come to me first, I'd have taken care of it for him,
but the fool sided with Jegal Gil.
Chairman Go favored and coddled Oh Dal Sung,
and it'll backfire on him badly.
It's a great card. Perfect for the upcoming election.
You're worth keeping around.
Thank you. We're abandoned the moment we lose our use.
Cha Moo Tae's sister is Ga Eul, right?
Get her to keep quiet.
This can't come out until the Olympic Games are over.
We'll release this at the right time for the election.
Hidden behind the glory of an Olympic gold medal,
a female athlete's tears.
Doesn't that sound amazing?
Yes.
It's done. I'll win.
You're quite impressive.
In sports,
switching between offense and defense is key.
Mr. Kim.
You need more training.
Can we really trust him and count on him?
Do I look like I trust him?
It all depends on how behaves from here on out.
Put that there too.
Yes, sir.
All right, then.
(No Medal Club)
So this is it.
I guess I really won't see you again after this.
If you're more comfortable that way...
Ten years ago and even now,
I guess we're not meant to be.
You know what?
From time to time, I hear your voice. Right here.
You built a little house inside my head.
The voice that is always concerned and worried about me.
The voice of a mother, whom I never had.
My gosh, come on.
I'm three years younger than you.
But you're always more mature than I am.
You always say the right things and give helpful advice.
You're a good adult, Dr. Park.
You're dependable...
and trustworthy.
I'm so glad the athletes have you.
It gives me such a relief.
I guess this really is the last time.
That's why you're making me cringe with such compliments.
That was super awkward.
Here.
Don't get hurt.
Okay.
I used to think I was good at everything.
But I wasn't in practice.
I was nothing at all.
The Dr. Park that was nothing at all saved me.
Not the one who was good at everything,
or the smart doctor.
The Park Seung Ha who cried for me...
saved me.
How are you so reckless?
Someone could've died.
You're not dead!
Not me, you!
What happened to your face? Did someone beat you up?
Did you fight?
I guess those two...
have found the best medicine for their slump.
Is there a specific medicine that helps you get out of a slump?
Of course, there is.
Love.
That's a bad sign.
I know. He does that when he's seriously worried about something.
He didn't even drink today. What's with him? I'm anxious.
He's been like that since that woman left.
- Yes. - Yes.
Then is it Park Seung Ha, not Cha Ga Eul?
- What? - What do you mean?
Gosh, read the room.
When men seem that disturbed, it's usually one of the two.
It's either about a woman or...
Hey, how did it go?
They just got out of Seoul. They're headed to Pajin now.
Pajin?
Okay, don't move in alone. Wait for us.
Moo Tae and I will be there soon. All right.
Pistol Park, give me the car keys.
Where are you going?
I think we've found the main computer.
Tae Man is tailing them now.
I'll go there and find out.
He found it this quickly?
This morning, he said it wouldn't be possible without an insider's help.
And he found it already?
Yes, because there's an insider.
Got another idea?
Yes, you.
What are you talking about? I already...
A one-time traitor can easily betray them again.
You're the one who's most anxious right now because of the ledger.
Based on the situation, you can tell that we can't turn things around.
So siding with those who have more power...
is what you would do.
- What did you say? - Moo Tae's phone.
Hand it over to Assemblyman Park and side with him again.
As an insider.
A one-time traitor can betray you thrice.
- Do you trust me? - I told you.
I want to make a different choice this time.
I'm going to put my trust in someone who I do not want to trust.
Without trust, we can't be a team.
Gil, wait. Don't go.
I have a bad feeling about this, okay?
I agree with him, Gil.
I know what Gu Tae Man told you, but what if he's working with them?
This could be a trap.
Hey, I trained with him for more than ten years.
I know Gu Tae Man better than you do.
I sure know that he can't let it go when someone messes with him.
Then let's all go together. It's too dangerous to go alone.
It'll look absurd if we all show up together in that truck.
I'll call you if something happens. You can come then.
- Gil! - What?
You know I'm still making payments on my car.
Don't crash it. Pull out if it looks dangerous, okay?
That I can't guarantee.
I think he'll crash it.
The car isn't important.
You think I'm worried about my car?
Yes.
In any case, can we really trust Gu Tae Man?
Sometimes, people behave the way you believe them to behave.
Okay.
- Moo Tae, let's hurry. - Okay.
Is Tae Man there alone now?
Yes. You're the only one who will be able to tell,
- so let's go check. - Okay.
Moo Tae.
Where are you going now?
Hey, Ga Eul.
I don't know where you're going, but can you not go?
Don't go.
- Ga Eul, the thing is... - Ga Eul.
I'll be quick.
There's something I did, and I have to get it sorted out.
I have to go now.
I'll make sure Moo Tae returns home safe and sound.
You have my word.
If anything bad happens to you, Mom will actually faint.
Don't get hurt. Promise me.
- You too, coach. - Okay.
Don't worry about us. Make sure to lock the door.
Go inside.
Let's go. Go inside, Ga Eul.
Hi, Ga Eul.
Can we talk?
Okay, sounds good. Keep them on standby outside.
Yes, outside.
What's taking them so long?
Over here!
What took you so long?
I came as soon as you called.
Where is it? Over there?
Yes, Secretary Kim just left from there.
I'm sure he brought the ledger here.
Would the agency's main computer be here?
- We'll have to check. - Got it.
- Let's go. - Wait.
What?
Follow my lead.
Why you...
Are you kidding me?
What could the lock combination be?
Park Seung Tae's birthday?
Or maybe... The foundation's foundation day?
- Or Park Seung Ha's... - Move.
- What is it? - Are you kidding me?
- Gil! - Move.
What the...
I can't believe you chopped it off!
Come on. An abandoned warehouse in the countryside?
It wouldn't be uncommon to get robbed.
There aren't any security cameras.
Be smarter, guys. Let us enter.
- Wait! - What?
Follow my lead.
Why you...
Let's go.
Turn on your flashlights.
Hey.
What the... Gosh.
What is all this?
Hold on. What on earth? Is this really the place?
Yes, it is.
These office supplies were used in our offices.
Moo Tae, look for the agency's main computer...
and search for the account numbers.
- Sure. - Good.
Meanwhile, I'll...
- Where are you off to? - To find the ledger.
The foundation's main computer has the list of donations.
We should find that first.
After we find the ledger.
When will you ever stop being selfish?
Look for the foundation's main computer first.
- Go. - What the...
I'll look for the ledger.
I'm your senior, you know.
Make sure you find it.
Darn. Where could it be?
What the...
Let's see.
What?
Okay. Tae Man's lifeline is still intact.
I found the agency's main computer.
- Right. - Gosh.
Hey.
- Did you find the ledger? - I did.
I found the foundation's main computer.
Gosh. We only need the hard drive, so take it apart.
But I need a cross-head screwdriver.
A screwdriver?
- Yes. - But there isn't one.
I'm sure there's one around here.
In the dark? Let's take the whole thing.
- We'll make off with it. - Right.
- Then... - Carry that instead.
You're going to pay for this.
- Get going. - Unbelievable.
Carry that well.
- Let's go. - Come on.
Assemblyman Park.
How are you here?
As if I'd easily trust a man who betrayed me once.
This is why one can't trust animals like you.
When you do,
they always stab you in the back.
Hardly. You never once gave me your trust.
It's why you have ledgers such as these.
You have never trusted anyone in your life.
It's the secret to my long career.
Let me see.
The two of you, I know.
That must mean you're Jegal Gil.
A man of power whom I've only seen on TV...
knows my name.
It seems as though I really made a mess of things.
You did.
And thanks to you, I'll be able...
to sort things out and take out the trash.
What the... We're not some weeds that grow beneath you.
You use us all you want...
- only to spit us out like gum? - Don't get worked up.
That means you'll lose.
- Let go of me! - Tae Man, please.
Mark my words.
You'll regret kicking me to the curb.
This gum you spit out?
Wait and see what I do to you!
Can you please keep it down?
Please don't take his words seriously.
We should talk to the man, not threaten him.
Even rats take a swing at cats at the brink of death.
You.
Did you say we should talk?
You come here to dig your own grave,
but now you want to talk.
You know how they day...
that you'll survive a tiger as long as you keep it cool.
I'm a mental coach, you see.
Sure, we'll talk.
I get these two, but why are you here?
What does a mental coach have against my business...
that he'd choose to dig his own grave?
Oh, you didn't know.
Here's the thing about our mentality.
There's only so much you can do...
even if you keep your head on straight.
If the world is in shambles,
buildings will collapse, ships will sink,
and people will have mental breakdowns.
When the world is upside down and all crazy,
there's no point in telling the athletes...
to stay mentally strong.
No one is able to heal.
It's why I run wild every now and then myself.
To reform the mentality of this rotten world.
Have you been successful?
Should I tell you why it can't be done?
Because us living in this world run just as wild.
The world...
is running wild like carelessly whipped tigers.
But you wish to take it on?
This world isn't meant to be cured.
You're meant to dominate it. That's how you survive.
You climb up with your eyes glaring...
and two fists clenched...
in an attempt to desperately hold on.
But even then, you might not survive.
The younger generation is too vocal, if you ask me.
You talk about hurt feelings and how rotten the world is.
You whine like a bunch of babies...
all while benefiting from the world...
that past generations have built for you.
You blame others,
your parents, and the world.
Not having your eyes on the prize is how you roll off the cliff.
It's why you lot ended up as losers.
Keep our eyes on the prize...
and work hard?
Are you sure that hard work can prevent us...
from losing?
That's not the question you should be asking.
"Do it, and it can be done."
"If not, work until you find a way."
That's what we believed in.
Before asking if it can be done,
you should've worked harder.
Forcing things that can't be done...
is how you built a world of corruption and cheating.
Where you do anything just to win.
With no limitations!
It's how we were able to develop this country!
Do you think a magic trick...
turned South Korea into an advanced country?
It was all due to the sacrifice...
made by my generation and the one before mine.
You should be grateful.
If we acted like brats too,
this country and the people would've rolled off the cliff.
That alone tells me about the kind of life...
you have led.
Live or die.
Black or white.
Win or lose.
You did what you could to stay mounted on the wild tiger...
all while feeling superior to those who got stomped...
on your way up.
I'm sure you've been living in fear though.
Because you knew you could also fall off.
Be honest with me. Hasn't it been terrifying?
Of course...
there were some risky moments.
But did you know...
that animals facing danger...
react in one of two ways?
Run...
or fight.
I always chose the latter.
And as you can see, I always prevailed.
Until now, I guess.
But those who only know of winning...
are met with the winner's curse.
They extend not aware of their limitations...
and end up crossing a line they shouldn't cross.
They don't see the edge of the cliff that's a few feet ahead.
They just think they can take big strides. Why?
Because it has always worked out for them.
Now is the time to finally stop.
If you don't, you will fall off the cliff this time.
Also, if you have the time,
I recommend that you...
see a therapist.
What a pity.
I came to see the face...
of the guy who's just so gutsy,
he keeps getting in my way.
You're just a pathetic activist.
A mental coach?
Quit trying to coach others...
and gain control of your own fate.
You can't even see what'll happen a minute later.
My gosh. There are so many of you.
How far shall we go?
They're all trash.
- Let loose. - Yes, sir.
Hey, Mr. Gold Medalist. Do you think you can handle this?
Gold medal or not, this looks bad.
What does Mr. MMA think?
Let's do our best.
Don't you get hurt.
Ga Eul will chew me out if you do.
Okay.
Darn you!
But those who only know of winning...
are met with the winner's curse.
The arrogant punk!
The scoundrel.
Do you think you can change anything?
Nothing will change.
If the world could change that easily,
people like me would've lost their jobs long ago, don't you think?
But look.
People still flock to me, begging me to coach them.
Parents bring wads of cash...
and plead with me to coach their kids.
They don't say a word when the kid comes home bruised. Why is that?
Because I get them a gold medal.
You benefited from my support.
Isn't that why you came to my room that late?
You stood a lot to gain, and that's why you came voluntarily.
If you think about it, aren't you just as responsible?
Tell the punk that built a house in your mind for him to live in.
That he should get lost immediately. That it's his fault.
That he's in the wrong.
Do you think the public will criticize just me?
You'll put a target on your whole family.
It takes two to tango, and they'll blame everyone.
That's how the public thinks.
The real opponent we face...
isn't Coach Oh or the public.
It's the thought in your head.
You'll ruin your life...
and humiliate your parents.
Don't ever forget this. It wasn't your fault.
Ga Eul.
I'm saying this...
for your sake and for your own good, okay?
Sun A agreed to keep quiet.
Forget about the past...
and focus on the Olympic Games.
Once we get an Olympic gold...
I see it now.
- What? - You're afraid of me.
You were afraid I'd tell the world what you did,
and that's why you bullied me.
I'm not the one who should tremble in fear. It's you.
- Cha Ga Eul. - You said that...
as long as you were around, I'd never make it.
Listen up, Oh Dal Sung.
As long as I'm around,
you'll never be able to coach again.
I'll tell the whole world...
you're a sexual predator.
It could be courageous of you to turn yourself in before that.
Stop where you are.
Stop.
I told you to stop.
Get him!
Darn you! Punk!
You punk.
Die!
Moo Tae, are you okay?
Gil! No!
Gil!
Even if I make a different choice,
why is the result always the same, Dr. Park?
What did I not get this time?
Once in a while, I have nightmares.
Of losing someone.
What if I mess up...
and lose that kid too? I get scared.
The kid you want to save.
The kid you're afraid of losing.
I think it's you yourself.
The child you left alone in your heart.
Why don't you hug it more often?
It was in the final moment...
that I realized what it was that I'd overlooked.
Everything I'd fought so hard to protect...
was a different facade of me.
I had...
failed to love myself properly...
and was unable to love anyone.
(Mental Coach Jegal)
Will Gil be okay?
Coach is okay too, right?
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's embarrassing.
Do you really not get it?
If you survived, it's time to finish the match.
Strictly speaking, I'm a victim too.
Do what you have to do.
We have athletes we must protect.
Join us. You are not alone.
This is an official request that you resign from your post.
Good luck to Team Korea.
