(Mental Coach Jegal)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
One of us six will be out.
The game of musical chairs is back on.
Before we get a chance to relax, the music comes back on,
and we must skate in circles.
Hoping that one will not be me.
You do drugs, don't you?
Should I guess what you're on?
So just come to me.
If you want to live.
Don't talk such bull.
Don't get worked up. Your breathing's turning ragged.
Don't you dare talk about it.
Or I'll kill you.
A consultant does not speak of his clients' secrets.
However,
you must see me if you want to be my client.
I'll see you tonight, Lee Moo Kyeol.
Be sure to wear your swimsuit.
I'm so sorry.
You looked like someone I saw somewhere.
Hurry up, will you?
- Okay. - Okay.
When a dream you'd forgotten suddenly flashes before your eyes,
is that a premonition...
or a figure of my anxiety?
(Episode 5: The Black Bird On My Shoulder)
A premonition?
For example. Do they really exist?
Do things you dreamed of happen in real life?
There are scientists...
who acknowledge premonitions and prophetic dreams.
Carl Jung called it the principle of synchronicity.
That it's possible because the conscious world is connected...
to the physical world.
Forget such difficult words.
Are you saying it could be a premonition?
What did you dream of?
I'm sure it's just a superstition.
Or simple anxiety.
You get anxious too?
It's nice to know. You seem almost human.
If I'm not human, what am I? A cyborg?
A cyborg does as it's told.
And doesn't cause trouble.
Why are you nagging when I haven't caused trouble yet?
I should just go and really cause trouble.
Call it preventative care.
It's like a vaccination.
For whose sake? Yours.
Okay, fine, great, thanks. So much.
Am I some virus?
Anxiety is like a fire alarm.
It's a problem if it goes off all the time,
but it also keeps us from danger.
It's only natural to feel anxious.
Especially here at the training center.
See you.
(Counseling Room 3)
She's smart. She has a brilliant mind.
(Women's Dorm Allocation)
(Unit 302: Cha, Oh Unit 303: Mo, Park, Kim)
Bring this with you.
What should I do, Sun A?
Can you talk to her for me?
We always shared a room.
Yeo Woon scares me.
You can fend for yourself now.
Didn't you expect this when you tried to beat me?
Ga Eul, you and Yeo Woon are close, right?
We used to be, four years ago.
Not anymore.
Am I the outcast now?
- Lee Moo Kyeol? - He's so awesome.
- My gosh. - He's gorgeous.
Let's talk.
Oh, wow. He's so cool.
I heard they're dating. I guess they are.
It wasn't originally her who dated Moo...
Moo Young.
You should unpack and rest instead of gossiping.
Okay.
What? Moo Kyeol does drugs?
(Writing history for Korea's swimming)
If that is true, this is an incredibly serious situation.
What punk is talking such nonsense?
Well...
I'd have let it go if it were just talk.
Rumors always follow the best athletes.
I got this from an anonymous source.
Here.
(Health Club)
What's this?
What's the big deal about Moo Kyeol going to a health club?
This is one of the things you don't know...
unless you were an athlete.
Take a look.
The guy Lee Moo Kyeol's with.
The track and field athlete who was let go for doping.
A stack designer everyone in the industry knows.
Moo Kyeol's really doing drugs?
It's just a suspicion,
but seeing that my office was alerted,
I have to look into it.
But if I actually do look into it...
Professor Gu.
Tae Man. Give me a little time.
I get it. Relax.
You know this is all I can do, right?
I can't give you much time.
Okay.
- It really wasn't you? - Moo Kyeol.
Then how does he know?
We're the only two who know.
I bet he was just testing you.
That's what coaches do.
He's your mental coach. He's legally bound to keep quiet.
You don't have to feel so anxious.
(Mr. Kang)
If you feel uncomfortable, ask someone to switch with you.
I don't feel uncomfortable.
How can we not feel uncomfortable?
For that day...
It's obvious Mr. Oh will try to get rid of either you or me.
I don't want things to get worse between us.
I don't have the time to feel uncomfortable about that.
As I said, I want to compete with you in good faith.
That sounds like it wasn't in good faith until now.
Don't twist my words. I mean I need you.
You're the team's ace,
and I need you to be in front so I get the will to give chase.
It must be great to be able to think so simply.
That's how desperate I am as a reserve right now.
No.
I don't know what you heard,
but it's not true.
Then what is this?
Why did you meet a stack designer in the middle of the night?
Anyone who sees this would think that you're using drugs!
- No, I'm not. - Then explain this!
Do you realize what you've done?
This will end your career as an athlete,
this will even affect my business.
You're about to renew your contract, so they're watching you...
with their eyes peeled to find your weakness.
Why did you have to do something so stupid?
You brat. Are you not even listening?
Don't hit him!
He said it wasn't true.
As parents, we should believe him.
You coddle him too much.
That's why he's such a weakling!
He resorts to drugs because he's a little stressed.
You can't become world number one if you're that weak mentally!
Lee Moo Kyeol is so close.
He must not let the others beat him here.
Lee Moo Kyeol is making a miracle happen!
A gold medal!
It's a historic moment!
Korea won the gold!
Yes. He is Korea's first gold medalist...
in swimming. This is a historic moment.
- It's a touching moment. - Korea won gold in swimming.
We are witnessing this moment together!
I knew he wouldn't come.
I'm strong.
My training is perfect.
I won't lose.
Again.
Snap out of it, Lee Moo Kyeol.
It's just a dream.
I must wake up.
Hey, Moo Kyeol.
Lee Moo Kyeol, wake up.
It's just a dream.
Moo Kyeol... Lee Moo Kyeol.
Lee Moo Kyeol.
It's just a dream. Wake up already.
Are you all right?
How many fingers do you see?
Snap out of it. Goodness.
He's so out of it.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hand it over. Let me do it for you.
- I'll open it for you. Hold on. - Give it back.
- Okay, let me open it for you. - Just give it back!
Okay, all right.
What?
No!
Hey, those pills won't even help you.
I told you to come for a session. Why didn't you come?
You made me come all the way here.
I will kill you.
You little... Let go.
You punk!
- Darn you. - You little...
We're both guys. What do you want?
Stay still. Relax!
- You're so dead! - Stay still, Moo Kyeol!
Hey, Moo Kyeol. Hey! Stop.
Hey, seriously!
Moo Kyeol, get it together.
Die!
Snap out of it. Stay put.
Relax. Don't get so worked up. Stay put.
Stay put!
Blood...
You gave me a nosebleed, you punk!
You little...
Darn it!
Darn...
(Dormitory)
Hey! You'll break the door.
My goodness.
What's the point of being the fastest in the world...
when you can't even open this?
- How did you find out? - Be polite.
Who told you?
Tell me, sir.
What's your guess?
Who?
I bet you're suspecting everyone and can't trust anyone.
That's why you're doing this.
You'd better show up tomorrow. If you don't,
I'll contact KADA.
(KADA: Korea Anti-doping Agency)
I warned you!
(Dormitory)
That nutjob!
- Darn it... - I'm truly sorry...
for causing you concern.
Thank goodness I found out first.
What if KADA heard about it first?
This wouldn't just destroy Moo Kyeol's career.
The Union gave Moo Kyeol all the support he needed.
If this was on the news, the entire swimming industry...
No, the entire sports industry would be thrown upside down.
Oh, boy.
Moo Kyeol keeps saying that it's not true.
But regardless, I understand...
that the allegations alone caused a lot of trouble for you.
Thank goodness I found out first.
What if KADA heard about it first?
This wouldn't just destroy Moo Kyeol's career.
The Union gave Moo Kyeol all the support he needed.
If this was on the news, the entire swimming industry...
No, the entire sports industry would be thrown upside down.
They're busy trying to cover it up.
I have to say, Jegal...
He's too good to be thrown out.
Good.
All right. People say that all information...
in the sports industry travels through Gu Tae Man. Why?
Because he's well-connected.
- Wrong. - Because he's sly.
That thief stole Gil's gold medal.
- Wrong. - He leads the Human Rights Center.
Correct.
With information comes power.
That's why Gu Tae Man is keeping his seat at the Human Rights Center.
So you're saying Tae Man and Jeon Chang Gil,
the head of the Swimming Union, are rivals.
And he's using me as his hound to oust Jeon.
That's why he hired me as a mental coach?
That's right, according to my sources.
- So what's your point? - So...
Let's just sell them.
If Gu Tae Man makes a move that we didn't expect,
Moo Kyeol will get hurt anyway.
But if we beat him to it and sell them to the agency,
Moo Kyeol won't be hurt. On top of that,
we can sell each photo for 100,000 dollars.
Then we should just keep going.
- Why? - We'll use that to our advantage!
Hold on. What? Care to elaborate?
But what if Gu Tae Man doesn't take the bait?
Then so be it. We'll just keep on doing what we do.
- Come on! - Can't we just take the easy road?
Hey, let's not be so reckless. Please?
He's irresponsible.
Hey, can you explain what you said earlier?
What was it?
The bait has been thrown already.
Patience is key when fishing.
Hey, what is this?
- It's so good. - Right?
It's low in calories, and it's very tasty.
Yes, it's good. Anyway, can you explain what you said earlier?
- Hey, seriously! - Enough.
- Stop. - That's enough.
- Enough, okay? - Just tell me.
Starting today,
we'll begin the psychological evaluations.
We'll start with the skating team.
Dr. Park, evaluate the skaters who were involved in...
- the investigation. - Sure.
Mr. Jegal, do a psychological assessment on Lee Moo Kyeol.
Is that really necessary though?
I know many of them lie...
when they take the test...
Sir.
You can see that they're lying if you analyze it well.
Sure, of course. The problem is that you don't know...
what they're trying to hide, Dr. Park.
What's your guess?
I bet you're suspecting everyone...
and can't trust anyone.
Moo Kyeol, isn't it about time you trained in the pool?
You know that I'll get to it once I'm ready.
I might know that, but the others don't.
You're annoying them with this attitude.
How is that a bad thing?
Train your heart out and become as good as me.
Do you think you can walk over me just because you're a hotshot?
I'm a champion, not "just" a hotshot.
I guess I owe it to my head coach.
Coach, Moo Kyeol's up for his counseling session.
Go on, then.
- I'll catch you later. - Sure.
Dong Jin, get on with your own training, will you?
Until when will you be his training partner?
Want more in life.
Wanting doesn't cut it when he's in a different league.
"I try more than my best during training."
(Agree)
Don't we all?
"Being complimented by my teammates..."
"elevates my confidence."
Isn't it obvious?
Hardly.
(Strongly disagree)
"Having my family's support elevates my confidence."
All we need is for you to do well.
Sometimes.
(Agree, Neutral)
"I find confidence when trained by an elite coach."
Go home if you find this offensive.
(I find confidence when trained by an elite coach.)
No way.
(Agree)
"I chose to be in this field..."
"because I had no other option."
(I chose to be in this field because I had no other option.)
Agree.
Did you have to answer these so halfheartedly?
Unbelievable.
It clearly shows you aren't being serious.
I usually only beat up one target.
But if that person can subdue you, you'll...
You know what'll happen...
if you don't show up for tonight's session.
Why you...
Fear of competition, confidence,
internal motivation, and strategizing.
(Fear of competition, Confidence, Internal Motivation, Strategizing)
You scored low on all of them...
while you were the opposite four years ago.
What happened to you over those years?
Nothing much.
Is it that bad?
This isn't a test.
There's no right or wrong...
when it comes to our emotions.
You aren't in the wrong to feel what you feel.
I get your relationship with your coach,
but are you having trouble with friends or family too?
No, not really.
I see.
Wait. Your father and older brother were also athletes.
The former was a world champion boxer.
You must take after him.
Must you ask about family during a psychological evaluation?
Well...
That quack.
(Counseling Room 2)
(Counseling Room 4, Counseling Room 3)
Why are you avoiding me?
This isn't easy for me, and it's also humiliating.
Is it true you were in Coach Oh's room at night?
- Moo Kyeol... - It's humiliating, you know.
Asking you this is mortifying enough.
You're mortified to ask me this?
Then how would I feel about answering it?
All you have to do is say it's not true.
Why won't you answer me?
- Tell me it isn't true! - Who do you think you are?
Who are you to demand this of me?
Sure. I'm a nobody.
I'm a loser who can't win medals. I'm nothing, I guess.
But the great Cha Ga Eul isn't all that superior either.
I'm mortified to have actually liked you.
It sickens me.
I should've been that way as well.
I should've blamed others and kicked them to the curb.
While I wasted my years dealing with my baggage,
that jerk went off to win three gold medals.
If this is about Han Yeo Woon...
I didn't ask.
I don't care about your truth either.
You're the jerk, and everything was your fault.
And I will kick you to the curb.
Ga Eul, back then...
Don't talk to me if you know I've been avoiding you.
It sickens me.
You reap what you sow.
I'm humiliated of myself,
so just pretend like you don't know me.
(Counseling Room 3)
I didn't tell you to come in.
Gosh, you never let go of grudges, do you?
Dr. Song requested that you supervise my work.
Are things not going well with Lee Moo Kyeol?
I have him in the palm of my hand.
How's Ms. Cha? Prickly, isn't she?
Not at all.
She was docile up until I mentioned her father.
Is that so?
How did she do on the psychological evaluation?
I do have my concerns.
She scored very low in terms of social support.
This is only my opinion but...
How will you compete if this is too heavy for you?
Her father turned out to be a sensitive subject,
and it's the same with her relationship with Coach Oh.
Problems with men of power...
stop her from performing well...
whenever she hopes to achieve something.
In other words, she has no one to turn to.
No support system.
It's why she has lost her confidence and is insecure.
Because she only has herself to rely on.
She wasn't like this four years ago though.
Something must've happened that acted as a trigger.
What is it?
Why were you never like this with me?
Because you were surly and temperamental.
- I bet it was because of my gender. - No way.
I don't know for sure,
but you probably had issues with your mother.
You find it hard to trust women.
I bet you haven't had any girlfriends.
Are you a psychic?
I may have failed as one, but I was once your psychiatrist.
I know you like the back of my hand.
I find it overwhelming to be with women...
who know too much about me.
Don't let other men know that,
or you'll ruin your chances at marriage.
Although it already seems like a long shot.
You should watch your words when you're with women.
Those who must have the last word irritate us.
Hold on a second.
Why on earth did you quit that hospital?
Thanks to a certain somebody,
I learned I wasn't cut out to see patients.
As in who? Me?
I felt too humiliated to ask.
But I might as well bite.
Bite.
Don't.
Back then.
Why did you suddenly stop coming?
After you were revived from trying to overdose on sleeping pills...
you stole from the pharmacy.
Back then, I...
Park Seung Ha.
You can't even lock the pharmacy?
You almost killed a patient.
I apologize.
You're not cut out for psychiatry.
Go to pediatrics and play with kids.
Don't put innocent patients at risk.
Quit right now if you're not cut out for it.
If you hate getting beaten up,
quit sports and go out and talk for a living.
If you hate losing,
quit sports and go out there and fight.
Blue wins!
Why do you do this to me?
You're my first patient.
I'm doing all I can...
to try to save you.
Why do you keep trying to die?
If you want to die that badly,
go somewhere I won't find you and actually die.
Why do you keep doing this around me?
What do you want me to do?
If you want to die that badly,
go somewhere and die.
Why are you doing this to me?
Why...
Why?
You disappeared after that.
A year, then two, then three.
"Because of me,"
"because of what I'd said to you,"
"did you really go somewhere to die?"
That's why I thought I wasn't qualified to be a doctor.
I thought I had failed.
But you're not just alive.
You're doing just fine.
And as what, a mental coach?
After shredding my mind to bits?
Is that why you hated me so much?
It was the first utter failure I'd experienced in my life.
I used to think I was good at everything.
Because I'd always been the best at everything.
But I wasn't in practice.
I always got yelled at...
and was a nuisance to others.
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.
Some woman wailed like a baby for me,
and that jolted me awake.
"It would be way too embarrassing to die now."
"I must live." That's what you made me think.
The head of the swimming union's under control too, I think.
Chairman Go...
will feel cornered.
Yes, because he finances everything.
But there might be some conflict.
Conflict?
The Dr. Park that was nothing at all saved me.
Not the smart doctor.
The Park Seung Ha...
who cried for me...
saved me.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
I need to ask, just out of curiosity.
Why did you hire Jegal Gil?
Why? Does he make you feel uncomfortable?
Oh, no.
But don't you feel awkward around him too?
The match that got Jegal Gil expelled from the national team.
There was talk the referee made a bad call.
I thought...
you must feel just as weird around him too.
I see.
Gil might feel so around me.
But I don't.
I feel sorry for him.
He was a great athlete but he couldn't accept the ruling...
and left as a disgrace.
He still seems to think he was a victim.
I hope he gets the opportunity to overcome that.
And more than anything,
I know for sure that he can sympathize with the athletes.
Because it's true that the sports world has lots of issues.
Oh, I see.
I guess I got you wrong.
How so?
The people I met from the Olympic Committee...
tended to be...
more greedy and ambitious...
and cared little for the athletes.
When you said you'd come over on committee business,
I must've assumed you were like that.
I see.
My father is a good person but...
Let's eat. I heard this is your first meal of the day.
Yes.
Thanks to you, I have company.
Let's eat.
She doesn't get along that well with her father.
She's more simple and calm?
Not bad.
In other words, she has no one to turn to.
No support system.
Don't cry, Gil.
A man does not cry.
Until I get out,
you must be strong and watch the house.
Yes or no?
Yes.
It's why she has lost her confidence and is insecure.
Because she only has herself to rely on.
"Musical chairs?"
I think that's what it's like.
One of us six will be out.
It's like a game of musical chairs.
Then why do you make that face?
What about my face?
"Those chairs are not mine."
"There never was a mine in the first place."
You act timid as if you're living in someone's spare room.
You lost already.
Who cares for a reserve skater who barely got in out of luck?
Everyone thinks I used some kind of trick.
You didn't do anything like that.
It was Oh Dal Sung who tried to use a trick.
The truth doesn't matter.
People believe what they want.
Because it's too hard...
if you don't have someone to hate.
Who do you hate?
It takes strength to hate someone.
I don't have time for that.
You think you need a right to hate someone too.
You might even need a right to die.
Can I ask you something?
Four years ago,
did something happen between you and Moo Kyeol?
It's cold.
I should head back before they lock the doors at the dormitory.
You know, about the game of musical chairs.
Don't focus on the fact that there's one fewer chair.
Only look at the chair right in front of you.
The past has no power over the present moment.
Just focus on what's in front of you.
The chair right before your eyes...
is the one where you can sit on and relax.
That's me.
Hey, we should do something about your leg.
Free up your schedule this weekend.
Let's go see my father so we can get it treated.
Hey, Coach Jo.
How's the prep for the National Sports Festival coming along?
I see. Who is participating this year?
(KADA: Korea Anti-doping Agency)
You're almost there.
Once more.
Yes, keep it up.
Again. Keep going.
Gosh, what are they doing at the training center?
They must be after someone.
Hey, don't worry. Just finish what you were doing.
Where are you going? Han Yeo Woon!
Where is Moo Kyeol?
He's...
Sorry to interrupt your training.
We're from the Anti-doping Agency.
Is Lee Moo Kyeol here?
(Manual Therapy Center)
The basic tests don't show anything abnormal.
But if he passed out suddenly...
His roommate said he hadn't been feeling well.
I thought he was faking it, so I pushed him to get the training.
But he suddenly...
He should go to a bigger hospital and get additional tests done.
- I'll sign a leave slip right away. - Sure.
We're from KADA. Is Lee Moo Kyeol here?
Find him.
Check every place where he could be!
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Where is it?
(Korea National Training Center)
- Did you see anyone leave? - No.
Make sure no one leaves. If you see anyone coming out, call us.
What's going on?
(Religious Support Center)
Hey, there you are.
Move.
KADA is here.
Why did you have to miss the session...
and make me come all the way here?
You reported me, didn't you?
It doesn't matter who did it. It was bound to happen, you punk.
If I get caught, you're doomed too.
You leaked your client's confidential information.
You're in trouble too.
Sure, you can do whatever you want.
Let's go tell them you're turning yourself in. Come with me.
Darn you!
What? Did you just swear at me? Did you?
Please let it go this once.
Why should I?
Then what? Do you want me to beg you on my knees?
Don't. If you do that, I'll feel so bad.
Please turn a blind eye.
What are you so afraid of?
I heard there was a dog hole around here.
- Find it. - Yes, sir.
Please.
- Darn it. - Here! Over here!
Here! He's here.
- Darn you! - Over here. Hurry.
- Hey, get up! - Gosh.
- Get up. - Why did you try to run away?
I did not.
Where is the nearest restroom?
It's in that building right there. Take him.
- Thank you. Let's go. - Let's go.
Hey, why are you following us?
"Hey?" You little punk.
Trouble is on the rise again.
Save us, merciful Buddha.
Let's pray for the lost lamb. Amen, hallelujah.
In the name of the Father, of the Son,
and of the Blessed Spirit. Amen.
Do it where we can see you.
Tell him to leave.
Your coach must be present. It's a rule.
He's not my coach!
I am his mental coach.
Come on. We need your sample.
Hurry up and do it.
Come on. Hurry up.
He took the bait.
Hey, it looks like Lee Moo Kyeol has been tested for doping.
My gosh. Gu Tae Man, that sly jerk.
He handed him over to KADA.
Will Gu Tae Man be our hunting dog?
- Hey, you. - They just left.
Of course, he had no choice but to take the irresistible bait.
Gosh, you scared me.
Shoot.
Forget the humiliation you experienced today.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Jegal Gil, I will kill you!
Hold on.
Next time you see me, you'll be begging me to save you.
We should move as quickly as possible.
The sooner we go public with it, the better.
Okay. Call me as soon as you have the results.
All right.
Hey, Reporter Kang. What are you doing this evening?
Nothing's up. Let's go have some good food.
How about tuna sashimi?
You can't turn that down.
All right, I'll meet you there. Bye.
Why is he in such a good mood after handing an athlete over to KADA?
How could you just hand him over?
Do you work for KADA? Are you a cop?
I can't believe you caught him and handed him over to them.
I told you numerous times. We cannot step in like that.
A mental coach should always side with the athletes,
no matter the situation. Don't you know that?
You say that we should always side with the athletes,
but aren't you suspecting him?
I think you two are convinced that Moo Kyeol took drugs.
Right? Am I wrong?
See? I knew it.
The sooner we clear up the suspicion, the better.
That's why this was a good call.
Well, anyway. Have a good weekend. I'm off.
What the heck? See?
This is exactly why I said this wouldn't work out.
That little... Gosh.
You're right.
We'll let him go as soon as the results are out.
Sorry?
Do you think Moo Kyeol really used drugs?
No idea. But every top-performing athlete gets targeted at least once.
I think he did.
That's why Yeo Woon's face turned pale, and she ran to him right away.
Right?
Ji Young.
Read the room, will you?
What?
We're redoing the selection because you changed your statement.
Can't you see they're all stressed out?
Then Cha Ga Eul is to blame.
She's the one who came in last,
so why are you biting my head off?
As if that's easy to do.
I came in last too just so that I could let you win.
I wasn't talking about you though.
You must be thrilled to get a day off.
Back when I trained here,
I didn't leave even though my coaches begged me to. Why?
Because I knew someone would stay behind to train.
Just like Cha Ga Eul is doing right now.
The date has been set.
The second Monday from now on the 13th.
Stay on your toes and train hard.
That is all.
(Locker Room Etiquette)
Coach Oh.
My hard-working trainee, Ms. Cha Ga Eul.
Do you have something to say?
The National Sports Festival will take place on the 13th.
So?
I'm representing my company team...
at the event.
I see.
I can't believe your coach would have you compete in that event.
What can you do but make a wise decision?
Will you represent your company team...
or will you take part in the national team selection process?
Ga Eul,
I'm giving you the chance...
to correct the mistake you made four years ago.
Will it be the company team or me?
Choose wisely this time.
Let's just leave.
Staying won't do you any good.
Rumors will only mess with your head.
Was it really not you?
We were the only ones there that night...
Moo Kyeol.
I'm sorry.
You should go.
Come on. Let's grab some jjolmyeon.
Get in.
(Athlete Dormitory)
The National Sports Festival?
Don't they let national team members sit it out?
On top of that, you were injured.
Why don't you ask Young To for guidance?
I'll talk...
to my mom first.
Someone said...
that it's natural to be unstable.
But if the instability is too much to bear,
don't take it on alone.
Come to us whenever you want.
I'll see you around.
You were forced to quit? Why?
Who knows? Maybe I got on her bad side.
Don't you worry though.
I asked for a favor at the bathhouse.
And if that doesn't pan out,
I can get a housekeeping gig.
Don't overdo it. I'll try to get a loan at my job.
No, don't.
You shouldn't take loans from a bar.
The house won't go under reconstruction...
for quite some time,
so we'll have time to look for a place to stay.
I'm just worried about Ga Eul.
She injured her leg...
and should be seeing a specialist for it.
Moo Tae, are you on your way to work?
Right. It must be your day off.
It is.
Enjoy Mom's cooking and get a lot of rest.
I'll get going.
See you later.
(Winter National Sports Festival Entrance Application)
Coach Jo, it's Ga Eul.
I'm sorry to say this, but...
It's about the National Sports Festival.
How can you not compete...
when you're our best skater?
Not competing could lead to a breach of contract.
Choose wisely.
Oh Dal Sung's behind it.
Rather than helping her recover from her injuries,
they're making her compete in the National Sports Festival.
That's not the main issue though.
She'll have to forfeit the national team selection.
It's the same thing.
They're sabotaging her.
Gil, are you going to let this happen?
We don't have proof that Oh Dal Sung's behind it.
(No Medal Club)
Why don't I take the boys...
and knock some sense into him?
Let's upload it on the Internet.
It's not enough for an official article,
so we'll expose him online instead.
It'll also expose Ga Eul though.
They'll retaliate immediately.
Besides, no rules have been violated.
Get her to forfeit the National Sports Festival, then.
It's not like her company team pays much.
It'll be at least five figures.
Really?
She also won a medal at the event.
She's not like us who haven't won any medals before.
Then have her give up on joining the national team.
Winning an Olympic medal...
only gets you a pension of four figures.
It's something 90 percent of athletes don't have.
We promised not to say things like that.
I think I'm going to cry.
Gosh, are you crying?
- There he goes again. - Come on.
Don't cry. We're doing just fine, right?
Sang Gu, you deliver alcohol well.
And Soo Ji, you make sure they're sold.
And I... Well, I'm good at chucking it down.
What a colossal mess.
Ring the golden bell. Drinks are on me today.
Nice. Let's close up for the day.
Got you, didn't I? He's buying today.
I have Lee Moo Kyeol's drug test result.
Really?
Let me see that.
Union head Jeon Chang Gil went to great lengths...
to cover this up.
Tell me about it.
Covering up a drug scandal is huge.
He should've known better.
What the...
(Clean of any illegal substance)
What a relief.
If Moo Kyeol had been taking drugs,
Mr. Jeon would've had to step down from his position.
This can't be.
But he was using drugs.
Inderal.
It is a substance banned by the athletic committee,
- And? - but not in Lee Moo Kyeol's case.
- How so? - In archery and gun shooting,
it enhances one's performance...
which is why...
- it is considered illegal. - Exactly.
But in swimmers,
it will make them underperform.
Because it's a beta-blocker.
A beta-blocker.
It is also prescribed for those suffering from panic disorders.
So?
The news will soon spread.
"The mentally strong Moo Kyeol..."
"suffers from panic disorders."
You'll be fired, you know.
You breached confidentiality...
Report me, then.
Just know you'll go down for calumny too.
It wasn't me.
Who could it be, then?
I bet you're suspecting everyone...
and can't trust anyone.
No wonder you did such a thing.
Medication should be prescribed...
but only after doctors diagnose you.
You should've gone to a specialist for help,
not sought out scum like No Sang Sik.
Sang Sik, where are you?
What the...
- Sang Sik. - Goodness.
Hey.
Gil was here, wasn't he?
I don't recall.
Yes, he was here.
- Did you tell him? - Yes.
Did he know it was Inderal?
Yes.
You prick.
He stabbed me in the back.
No Sang Sik, that darn...
The media will get wind of the doping test results.
Everyone will know you have a panic disorder.
- No. - Yes, it's a no.
The meds would've worked if you had a panic disorder but they didn't.
Do you know why?
You don't have a panic disorder.
What you have is yips.
(Yips: When a psychological issue causes a slump.)
Who would believe a quack like you?
If you don't believe me, get in there.
If you had had a panic disorder, you'd have had constant symptoms...
and the meds would've worked.
But you don't usually show symptoms.
You only do when you're near water.
That's why you can't even get in.
- You're wrong. - Then get in.
That will prove I'm a quack, and I'll have to back off.
What? You can't get in the water?
The world's number one swimmer is afraid of water?
- No. - Then get in. Why are you scared?
Don't come any closer!
Don't run away! You idiot.
Listen up, Lee Moo Kyeol.
No one dies of a panic disorder!
But anxiety and instability sometimes lead to death!
You don't have a panic disorder. So you can dive in.
The reason you believe you can't...
is because you're denying and hiding yourself.
Lee Moo Kyeol.
You have yips.
What do you know?
I can't help until you ask for it.
No one can help unless you speak up.
Say it. Say you need help.
Asking for help is where your healing starts.
It's nothing once you do it. You can do it, Moo Kyeol.
Don't fall for it.
You can't show your weakness.
They'll just try to stab you.
Hey, come here.
He really won't listen.
My gosh.
It's not working.
I am strong.
My training is perfect.
I do not lose.
Anxiety is like a broken fire alarm.
It blares its siren...
regardless of time or place even at the smallest of sparks.
Cha Ga Eul!
You dare try to take me on?
I said if you touched me again,
I wouldn't stand for it.
What if you won't stand for it?
Will you tattle to him again?
Run to Jegal Gil like you did when...
you almost got Ji Young knocked off the team.
What are you talking about?
Dal Sung.
It's not your fault.
It was a mistake and an accident.
Yes. It was just an accident.
It happens all the time.
It wasn't me. It was you.
So why are you doing this to me?
Quit harassing Cha Ga Eul.
I can forgive what you did in the past,
but I can't forgive that it's still going on.
If you keep it up...
I might want to get back at you, so stop it.
Anxiety feeds off the past...
and wanders about in the future that hasn't come yet.
You know that...
it was Jegal Gil...
who got a reporter involved to try to get rid of Ji Young and me.
And if that wasn't enough, you sent someone else?
Ko Young To, of all people?
Cha Ga Eul.
What is your relationship with Jegal Gil?
Did I make it up?
What did you say that they want to see me in counseling?
It's true that you spread gossip that wasn't true.
I didn't talk about you. I just...
Cha Ga Eul. Are you seeing Mr. Oh?
Oh Sun A!
Why did you leave his room early in the morning?
Anxiety is a broken VHS tape that keeps playing the same section.
Where are you going? I'm not done yet!
You said no. That's what you said!
Ms. Cha. You're too worked up. Relax.
You said Oh Dal Sung was not it.
Why did you lie to me?
Did you stop trusting me again?
Don't be nice to me.
Don't act like we're friendly.
Don't sway me when I'm already struggling to train.
Stop making me look like a joke!
Does getting help make you look like a joke?
He's helping me?
No. They all want something.
They expect something from you.
If he were to know the real you, would he still like you?
So what if you're weak?
So what if you get some help? So what?
Is something wrong?
You need to tell me if I'm to help you.
Don't you get that you trying to help me...
is just making things worse for me?
I won't consult you anymore.
Even if you run into me, just pretend you don't know me.
Let's do that.
Unless you reach out for my help,
there's nothing I can do.
Let's call this...
and end of our consultation.
Anxiety mocks us...
and eventually isolates us.
(Mental Coach Jegal)
You said it was doping.
I jumped to a conclusion.
I hired him for being an athlete, and he was of no help.
You're Lee Moo Kyeol.
No one thinks you won't overcome it.
You can't stand on the starting block.
If it gets worse, you'll have seizures.
Your sister's leg hasn't completely healed yet.
Do you think you can look after her with a job like this?
What can you do? You're just a mental coach!
I will sue you!
I was Cha Moo Tae's direct senior.
Call me at any time.
I can't get weak. I must pull myself together.
