(Mental Coach Jegal)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Moo Tae.
How come you...
I told you I needed the money.
- Cha Moo Tae! - I told you!
That I can do anything...
to protect my sister.
How could you...
How could you do this to me?
There are days like this.
When you're stabbed in the back...
by the one you trusted the most.
- Are you seeing Mr. Oh? - Oh Sun A!
Why did you leave his room early in the morning?
Days when someone's malicious words...
slash your heart and you're left defenseless.
That's usual for athletes though.
Don't you remember your brothers?
They got beaten with baseball bats,
but still managed to win gold.
Now, their former coaches grovel at their feet.
People who should protect you condemn you instead.
Why did Ji Young suddenly have to change her stance?
It was the perfect chance to get Coach Oh fired.
And it was Ji Young's fault that we had to redo the finals.
You see the two-faced nature of people...
you once considered friends and get hurt.
Look at him.
He was so full of himself. It serves him right.
How could a swimmer faint in the water?
He's a has-been now.
If such days continue where you think...
you're alone in the world and no one is on your side,
sometimes, there comes a time when you want to give everything up.
Why do you do this to me?
You're my first patient.
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?
Despite all that,
can you find the strength to go on?
Can hurt caused by people...
really be healed by other people?
(Episode 8: Can Hurt Caused by People be Healed by People?)
(Episode 8)
- Lee Moo Kyeol. - So...
- What? - You go first.
No, you go first.
You go first.
You said my name first, so you can talk first.
Then and now, we're still the same.
Neither of us wants to give in.
I know, I did it again.
Why am I like this?
This isn't why I came back.
Actually...
I wanted to apologize for that day.
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.
- Tell me it isn't true! - Who do you think you are?
Who are you to demand this of me?
I thought about it for four years.
Why you were like that.
Day and night, rain or snow,
I just kept swimming.
I thought and thought again.
Why were you like that?
"I'll win just one medal, then go back and ask."
"I'll win just one more medal, then go back and ask."
But then...
I just realized why you reacted that way.
I'm not seeing Yeo Woon.
Did you win three golds just to say that?
Stupid rumors tend to spread.
I'd felt inferior and...
I acted like an idiot.
I should've trusted and believed you and protected you.
I'm sorry.
I felt the same, though.
I saw how successful you'd become...
and I felt the same.
I felt like an idiot.
I felt humiliated...
and miserable.
I was in the wrong.
I'm sorry.
Why are you crying?
- Hi. - My goodness.
What's going on here?
Who are you?
Me? I'm the security camera.
You...
This is what my son wanted me to watch out for.
Get up. You're coming to my room.
Mister. What are you doing?
You can go to sleep. Goodnight.
- Sleep well, sir. - Mister!
Why are you really doing this?
It's like I said. I need money.
If you need money, come to me...
How could you go to Tae Man of all people...
Tae Man...
is stronger than you.
My sister, my family, to protect them,
I need Tae Man a bit more than you.
I don't see them.
It's about time my son and daughter visited me,
but I haven't seen them.
It's about time my son and daughter visited me,
but I haven't seen them, sir.
Father.
Do you know how much it costs to support a skater?
Equipment, lessons, training, hospital bills.
It takes tens of thousands of dollars a year to cover all that.
I'm hundreds of thousands in debt because of everything so far.
Think about it.
Jeez.
I'm a waiter at a nightclub.
When will I repay the debt...
and support Ga Eul so she can win a medal?
Just one word from Tae Man...
and a completely fine team gets disbanded.
Gil.
How can I protect my sister all on my own?
Cha Moo Tae.
Do you think I retired out of loyalty to you?
I didn't. I retired because of the cost.
I was offered a fortune to switch to MMA...
and get beaten up each week.
Rather than stick to taekwondo where I had no future,
I could make a thousand times more!
Why are you acting so out of character, Moo Tae?
Because I'm the breadwinner of my family, you punk!
I have...
a family I must protect.
That's why I can do anything.
You wouldn't understand.
Now...
I can protect my sister.
Stay away from Ga Eul.
(Myunghan Pawnshop)
I can't believe Cha Ga Eul's brother did that.
He went through all of that because of her.
Come on. It's Gu Tae Man.
He's on the Olympic Committee and leads the Human Rights Center.
That's your problem. You're too understanding.
You don't know what it's like to be a poor athlete.
I got my medal stolen because I didn't have connections.
I'd never betray my friends, no matter the circumstances.
Hey.
It's for the best.
Hand over the evidence of rigging, and they'll deal with Oh Dal Sung.
Then Young To gets his revenge.
We accomplished what we had set out to do.
Ouch...
What? Hey!
Hey, Hyun Soo.
(No Medal Club)
Ouch...
My gosh.
Gil.
What happened to your face?
Who did this to you?
Gil.
Nice shot.
Excuse me.
Who... Who are you guys?
Go get it, you idiot!
- Hey! - Hand it over.
- Hand it over. - Whack him!
They took everything.
It was that jerk, Lee Kang San.
Lee Kang San, that piece of...
Lure him outside.
We don't want this to get out of hand, right?
Gosh.
What should we do?
- What is it? - What's going on?
- What is it? - What's with him?
Why are you coming out of there?
- What's going on? - Turn off the music.
You're... Jegal...
So you know who I am.
Then apologize to my brother.
That little...
Apologize to him!
I'm sorry.
Where are the photos?
I don't have them. I swear, I don't!
Then who took them? Tell me who it is.
That's...
Tell me who took them!
Who's making a scene?
- Gosh. - Oh, no.
Please...
What? What is it?
Hey, Gil.
Hey!
Open the door.
Tae Man!
It's 3am right now.
Shouldn't you just leave...
if you don't hear an answer after knocking a few times?
Hand over those photos you took.
Do you think I'd hand them over just because you told me to?
The athletes' careers depend on them. Hand them over.
It hurts. Let go.
That hurt. What are we doing in the wee hours?
Hey.
Those secretly taken photos will only attract tabloid reporters.
But now that they're in my hands, they can be used as evidence.
The key evidence of match fixing.
Since I'm the head of the Sports Human Rights Center,
I should be the one submitting them to the prosecution, don't you think?
If you hear me, go home already.
If you cover it up, I don't know what I'd do.
You know what I'm like.
You and those crazy eyes again.
Chairman Go is the one who is desperate for a medal, not me.
I have no reason to keep a coach who is nothing but trouble.
At least that's where I stand.
Hey, Jegal.
Stop meddling in other people's lives.
Just live your life.
Do you know what I think when I see you...
trying to clean up others' messes?
"Gosh, that pathetic loser. He must be very lonely."
Put yourself first,
or you'll keep meddling in other people's lives...
until you get stabbed in the back...
and suffer unjustly, okay?
That's how it goes.
Don't resent Moo Tae too much.
He made such a choice because he had something to protect.
I will have Oh Dal Sung removed.
But only after you resign.
Okay?
Now, go home and sleep.
If you knock again, I'll call the police.
Hey, that was dangerous.
I told you the training center wasn't a good idea.
If you're having a hard time, go see a doctor.
Don't try to hold out by yourself, okay?
You really aren't cured yet.
You're still full of fury.
That's why you do this without thinking.
"Gosh, that pathetic loser. He must be very lonely."
Father!
Because I'm the breadwinner of my family, you punk!
I have a family I must protect.
That's why...
I can do anything.
Jeon Chang Gil, the head of the Swimming Union,
used his corporate credit card for personal expenses...
and abused his authority to instigate a national team coach...
to partake in illegal sports gambling,
speculation, and embezzlement,
so he won't be able to avoid imprisonment.
It has also been confirmed that the national team coach...
was also involved in match fixing...
As you may have guessed,
that national team coach...
is Oh Dal Sung, the coach of the short-track team.
(Head of the Korea Skating Union)
At the Sports Human Rights Center, we will investigate thoroughly...
Who is it?
(Korean Olympic Committee)
(Mental Health Support Team)
There must've been a whistleblower.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand like this!
Well, sir.
From the election to the Olympics, many important events are coming up.
Rather than finding out who blew the whistle,
let's improve the public image of the Committee...
That will happen naturally if we win medals!
Without solidarity, we can't hold the Olympics...
or the election!
- You know something, don't you? - Sorry?
You can't fool an old man like me.
They say Chairman Go is a paper tiger now,
but he's still a tiger.
Something's going on internally. I'm sure of it.
I think...
you may know something, Dr. Park.
Me? No.
What happened last night?
Nothing happened between you and Mr. Jegal?
No, nothing happened.
I bet it's Mr. Jegal.
He caused trouble again!
My goodness.
I'm going to supervise him and counsel him going forward.
He promised to withdraw Moo Kyeol's exposure therapy...
on that condition.
Then why isn't he at work already?
Beats me.
There he is.
Let's move on to the short-track team.
The national team's head coach is facing charges...
of illegal gambling and match fixing.
Do you see this affecting its chances at the Winter Olympics?
If he is proven to be involved in match fixing,
Coach Oh will be ousted for sure.
- And time in prison will be served. - Will he get thrown out?
Probably.
There were also recent rumors of abuse.
The allegations were deemed false,
but illegal sports gambling...
as well as match fixing...
will drive him out of this field for good.
I see. Unfortunately, it will be the athletes...
who face the repercussions.
- Hey, it's me. - The Olympics will commence soon.
Did you watch the news?
Really?
Anyway, Oh Dal Sung didn't come in today.
You should head back.
Right, I...
Thanks, Sun A. Got it.
With the union head gone,
the selection process will be straightened out?
Will you be back on the team?
Yes, and Do Jin Ho will be out.
Anyway, you should get back here.
Nice. I'm happy for you.
Hold on. I'll call you back.
- Where are you headed? - To Coach Jegal.
He already went to work.
Right. We should head back as well.
Sure.
But maybe you'd like to figure out your hair first.
Right. My gosh.
(Resignation Letter)
What on earth are you doing?
I apologize for not staying until the time stated in my contract.
I have too many clients outside the training center,
and keeping regular hours here...
proved to be a hassle.
I see you're just as irresponsible.
That's how you were back when you were an athlete.
You knew you could make a comeback after recovering from your injury,
but you gave up too easily.
Do you cause trouble...
just so that you won't have any regrets?
As a way to burn down the bridge you crossed?
That's not it, Dr. Song. He didn't cause any trouble.
Mr. Jegal, we need to talk.
You have until today to change your mind!
Must you be this dramatic?
I didn't say anything. I didn't report you.
Is that so?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
How insane am I...
to look out for an irresponsible troublemaker?
In return, you'll be coming to me for consultation,
so retrieve your letter of resignation.
Your kind words mean a lot to me.
But I won't be talking to anyone.
Still, I appreciate the gesture.
Why are you acting like a child?
You being this way...
is the same as athletes...
trying to get out of their sessions.
I'm aware of that.
It's why I'm resigning.
You're right about how I still have a long way to go.
I haven't fully healed.
It's what I realized.
The issue can be resolved. I'll help you through it.
You failed ten years ago.
I've changed since then.
I'm not as green as I once was...
I'm the one who hasn't changed.
And I won't get any better if I'm how I used to be.
You're right, Dr. Park.
I can hardly help myself,
so who am I to insert myself into other people's lives?
Mr. Jegal...
That being said,
I have a favor to ask.
I have never been this at ease walking to the training center.
Right. It brings me back to how you were four years ago.
If the match-fixing charge sticks,
Oh Dal Sung will never be allowed back, right?
Of course. You can't get out of that one.
I wonder how he got caught though.
It happened to be the day we left camp unauthorized.
You're a lucky one, aren't you?
Go ahead.
What about you?
I've already been disqualified.
And I don't want any favors. It's not like I deserve it.
Can you really give this up?
Head on in.
Moo Kyeol.
Well,
no matter what you choose,
let it be what you want...
and not what others want for you.
Also,
you can come to me at any time.
Sure.
Right.
Coach!
I'm...
I'm only asking out of curiosity.
Was it you who took down Oh Dal Sung?
Why? Will you give me lip again?
Of course not.
Actually,
I'm delighted.
You see,
being here was like being in a world of pain.
You said it'd be hard for me,
but I went against your advice.
It's why I had to bear the pain...
and stay strong,
but it was extremely hard.
Finally, I can breathe again.
I'll definitely be writing in my journal.
Then my work is done.
You'll be able to manage by yourself.
I told you when crustaceans grow, right?
You're finally leaving your old shell...
and moving into...
a bigger and better home.
From here on out,
Dr. Park Seung Ha will be helping you move forward.
What are you talking about?
Well...
This is our last session.
Why?
I can protect my sister.
Stay away from Ga Eul.
I will have Oh Dal Sung removed.
But only after you resign.
It's no big deal.
I'm just exhausted, that's all.
Maybe I'm too old for this.
So...
That shouldn't have been the end of it.
But like I have always been doing, I ran away from my problems.
That the situation drove me away...
or that I did it for those around me...
was all a lie.
It's just that I was extremely exhausted.
Just like my own clients,
that moment became a reality for me too.
A moment where I wanted to give up on everything.
It came back to me like a chronic illness.
(K-One Sports Agency Unveiling)
Thank you. Do offer us your support.
Congratulations on your new company, Mr. Cha.
Thank you, sir.
You needn't thank me for anything.
I support people...
like Mr. Cha who have great intentions.
Assemblyman, could you give a short speech?
You should interview him, not me.
I like what his agency stands for.
Go ahead, Mr. Cha.
I hope to...
support affordable sports that anyone can enjoy and...
Excuse me.
Discover and train up future stars in less popular sports.
Korea's...
(CEO Cha Moo Tae)
He's putting on such a show for his puppet CEO.
Politicians are always suspicious and paranoid.
- Sit down. - Okay.
Sign your sister first.
It's my opening gift.
Thank you, Tae Man. But...
is this really it?
You just tend to the athletes.
I'll handle the business side of things.
The assemblyman will take a major cut,
and you will get the leftovers.
Oh, let me.
Thank you.
What about you, then?
Me?
I won a gold medal.
I prefer a steak course to leftovers.
Do you know what?
Every now and then, I crave the smell of blood.
You don't get it, do you?
Hang on.
Who is it?
(Coach Oh)
Oh Dal Sung is so slow to catch up.
- Have some. - Okay.
What will happen to Oh Dal Sung now?
Gil's resignation was processed,
so I'll send the proof to the prosecution.
Thank you, Tae Man.
Hey.
You wouldn't know,
but our industry is surprisingly political.
Do you know how that's different from playing sports?
In politics, there's no friend or foe, winners or losers.
If you side with the right guy,
we could become the final winner.
I'm not that ambitious.
That's why I like you.
(Oh Dal Sung)
Gosh, it's him?
I won't let him drag me down too.
As if.
- The number... - Why won't he pick up?
It looks like not one is picking up.
Will you give up?
One more, just one more call.
There's no way I'll go down alone.
You're Sun A's mother, right? It's Oh Dal Sung.
Guess what?
The new agency is going to sign Ga Eul.
For real?
A skater who has done nothing in the past four years?
Someone got lucky.
It's not luck.
The CEO is her older brother.
Right, Ga Eul?
Your mom's really something.
How does she know about a deal I haven't even signed yet?
Sun A's mom told my mom.
You knew as well, Sun A.
I don't know how a nightclub waiter became a CEO overnight...
Stop it, Ji Young.
Skaters with better results had to make way for you.
How do you think that feels?
I told you to stop.
Coach Oh got locked up because of your mental coach, right?
That Jegal Gil or some other fool.
Don't talk about him like that!
- How dare you? - Stop it!
- Take it back! - Let go!
You let go!
Stop it, all of you!
Let go!
Darn you.
Are you slacking off because Coach is gone?
What do you think you're doing when the Olympics is two months away?
- Sorry. - Sorry.
Do you know what people are saying?
That we'll be the first short-track team in the history...
of the Winter Olympics to win nothing.
Do you really want that to happen?
Do you think you'll get another shot in four years' time?
If you retire with no medals, your lives will end too.
Do you have something to say?
I don't think...
that's always the case.
That's not always the case?
Okay, then.
Find out for yourself if it is or isn't.
I'll see the rest of you in the rink.
Ga Eul, you're sitting out this session.
Did she lose her mind?
How dare she talk back?
What got into you? Do you not feel well?
Yes. I'm in pain.
Where? Do you have a headache?
No.
It's my heart.
What does that mean?
Is she actually sick?
(Religious Support Center)
It's so annoying.
I'm proud of you. That's how you do it.
Those are the emotions you're currently feeling.
This is so annoying.
Why do I keep thinking of him?
Do me a favor.
Cha Ga Eul. Can you counsel her for me?
I used to see her by the Religious Support Center.
See if she's there sometimes.
Cheer her up...
and buy her some good food.
Do that for me.
I don't think it's my help she needs.
My gosh.
You're getting on... Can you go home?
Why did you resign?
You needn't mind me, but what about Ga Eul?
She's in a slump.
So am I.
You're a mental coach.
Are mental coaches not human?
My gosh, you are so irresponsible.
I knew you were a psycho, but I didn't know just how much.
- Go away. Get lost. - Hey.
You're getting on my nerves.
I can't go home.
My parents will freak out...
when they find out I left the training center.
You know,
I don't even have the option to quit as irresponsibly as you.
It's not easy being irresponsible.
I made the choice despite everything.
I chose the right to be irresponsible...
and am being responsible for it.
You're being responsible for being irresponsible?
You should choose not what the world wants...
but what you really want.
Only then can you be responsible.
Did you tell Ga Eul that?
She said the same thing to me.
Is lying about dejectedly really what you want to do?
- Can you just leave? Get out. - Hey.
Come here. Take that off before you go.
- Take it off. - You're so mean!
- Take it off. - No.
- Gil. - What?
What?
Are you out of your mind?
As if leaving without permission wasn't bad enough...
Look.
You're hiding out in this trashy bar?
Do you want to quit swimming to hang out with them...
and end up as human refuse?
That goes for you too.
If an athlete left training without permission,
you should talk him into returning.
What are you doing, keeping him in this dump?
Do you call yourself a mental coach?
I'm no longer a mental coach,
so take him with you. He's a nuisance to me too.
Will you do this when you said you'd always be on my side?
Yes, I'll do this, so go home.
Let me give you a tip too.
He doesn't have a panic disorder,
so don't go and give him pointless medication.
Just let him be, okay?
You need a break. A good, long break.
Don't do anything.
And you can keep what you're wearing too.
Just keep it.
Okay, bye.
Get going already. Don't give me that look. Come on.
My gosh. What's his problem?
(High Sports)
Go on in.
Let's just go home. Moo Kyeol isn't feeling well.
He's fine physically. He needs to toughen up mentally.
Who'd be left on the national team if they all quit so easily?
To you,
is Moo Kyeol just a machine that wins medals...
so you can overcome your insecurities?
Moo Kyeol represents Korea...
and the agency.
How many times have I told you that it's nothing personal?
I can't breathe whenever you do this.
Try to imagine what it must be like for Moo Kyeol!
If you want to be his coach and not his father, let's split up.
Goodness. Your mother is at it again.
You always use your son to threaten me to get a divorce.
That's enough, both of you.
I'm heading in.
Moo Kyeol.
(Athlete Dormitory)
(Korea National Training Center)
Gosh.
It's the weekend. You didn't go out?
What about you?
You said you'd never come back. Why are you back?
Well...
I realized I had nowhere to go.
You see, I worked very hard.
From age seven until now.
There wasn't a single day when I didn't swim.
For over 20 years, I did nothing but swim.
I won three gold medals.
So I thought I was in a better place as a person too.
But I'm still a nobody,
and I don't even have the right to choose.
I'm a swimmer, but I can't even go in the water.
I struggle to breathe.
When I was going through the selection process,
I stumbled upon a road-killed roe deer and buried it.
Do you know what I thought at that moment?
I prayed that I'd make it into the national team...
in return for doing a good deed.
When I barely won in Ji Young's stead...
and even when Ji Soo left the team,
this was all I could think.
"Please let me win a gold medal."
But I still couldn't. Just know that there are people like me.
Oh, boy. How did we end up here?
I've worked so hard.
You scared me.
(No Medal Club)
What's the real reason you quit all of a sudden?
I'm just exhausted. That's all.
See?
I told you not to get emotionally involved or step in.
I warned you because I knew this would happen.
The world is still the way it was ten years ago.
It won't change, so getting angry and fighting against it...
will only hurt you.
Yes, you're right.
There's nothing I can fix.
You're exhausted because you tried to fix their problems.
Just accept the problems as they are...
and hold out right next to them.
That's the best thing we can do.
After all, we can't change the world.
You can only change yourself.
Just hold out...
and leave the problems as they are?
Why do nothing if you know that there are problems?
Why must we let such scumbags walk all over us?
We did nothing wrong.
When I see them, I just want to quit...
and beat them up to a pulp...
Do you think they're all scumbags?
What if some of them are not?
Don't you think some of them...
had no choice but to become like that because they had to survive?
Because I'm the breadwinner of my family, you punk!
I have a family I must protect.
That's why...
I can do anything.
That's why it's driving me nuts.
And that's why I can't do it.
So don't waste your time. You should leave.
You asked me if I had ever lost a counselee.
I lost you.
Back then, I felt the same way.
I was angry and exhausted because of my own incompetence.
I wanted to just quit and walk away.
But once I quit,
I couldn't stop worrying about you.
"What if he's all messed up now because of me?"
I was anxious, and I felt guilty.
If you quit now, you'll go through the same thing.
Your concerns about the athletes will keep haunting you.
Do you know when crustaceans grow?
Crustaceans?
- Like crab? - Yes.
Someone told me...
that crustaceans grow when they shed their shell and molt.
They grow when they expose their flesh and are most vulnerable.
So maybe you're growing now, Moo Kyeol.
Who said that?
Just someone.
Since you're back, you should see the end of it.
Knowing it...
and seeing it are two different things.
Who knows?
You may be able to overcome the yips...
and miraculously achieve the super grand slam too.
It's odd.
I could barely hear you when I was popular and successful.
But now, I can hear you loud and clear.
(Korean Olympic Committee)
I'll get going then, sir.
Yes, Sun A's mother.
I know it mustn't have been easy. Thank you for telling me.
No problem.
Gu Tae Man has joined hands with Park Seung Tae now?
Thank you for calling the Sports Human Rights Center.
Yes, sir.
I'm a sportsman.
As a sportsman,
I swear that I never partook in any kind of rigging.
But somehow,
you hit the jackpot with every bet you placed?
Are you a psychic or something? Do you expect me to believe that?
Because I'm a sportsman.
I'm an expert, so I just know these things.
Let's see if you can say that when I bring in the evidence.
Evidence? I didn't even do anything.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I'm heading in now.
Okay.
(Chairman Go)
Goodness. Why is he calling?
- Hello, sir. - You know I don't like to wait.
Come here right now.
Gong Sang Doo, this idiot.
(Korean Olympic Committee)
I'm sorry, Tae Man.
- You know how I am. - Yes.
Be honest, or I'll beat you up to a pulp.
How much did you tell them?
- Getting rid of the records and... - You mean, Oh Yeon Ji's?
He sussed me out as if he already knew everything.
I had no choice.
You absolute moron!
- Vermin! - I'm sorry, Tae Man.
A trip?
Yes.
- Where? - For how long?
With that lady?
Must I report my whereabouts to you?
No way. I won't allow it.
It's not like he needs your approval though.
Get lost, will you? You and that mouth of yours.
Must you hit me on the head?
- Gosh, are you all right? - Darn.
If you leave the nest, you'll only cause trouble.
Why not have a doctor prescribe you some pills?
Why are you on my case...
- when it's just a trip? - Don't.
Stop being so annoying, will you?
You haven't ever taken a trip before,
so going on one after your best friend betrayed you...
and you quit your job?
- Of course we're worried! - Of course.
You'll have to kill me first if you want to go.
Stop being so dramatic.
You have taken pills with alcohol before.
You going on a trip alone is out of the question.
I'm not some fragile child, you know.
It's just that I...
What?
Hey, Sang Doo.
I heard that this was the No Medal Club.
I didn't win any medals myself.
Could I perhaps join you?
What the... What happened to your face?
Was this Gu Tae Man's doing?
He said we should play dumb...
and destroy the report she had filed.
Chairman Go asked as if he knew everything,
so how could I have not said anything?
The document you destroyed...
was the report Oh Yeon Ji made?
Yes.
Gu Tae Man, that son of a... So much for being clean.
Was it also Assemblyman Park Seung Tae...
who ordered you to destroy the report?
As if he'd involve himself in such frivolous matters.
Then,
your careless actions are what led to a young athlete...
not receiving help and taking her own life.
Once the press gets wind of this,
they'll come after you like hyenas.
It'll also damage the reputation of the Korean Olympic Committee.
You're the one who appointed me, remember?
It will hurt your chances in the upcoming election.
I may now be a toothless tiger,
but I can still take you down on my way out.
Tell me what it is you want.
"Winner takes all" is what governs this nation.
People forget about the past...
once you show them you're a winner.
Just make sure we win medals this year.
During my term,
let them see I can bring home gold.
And a lot of it.
(No Medal Club)
Are you serious about going on this trip?
I already booked a ticket.
Won't you regret it?
I've regretted enough in life.
Don't worry. I won't cause any trouble.
I'm off.
He just had to leave.
Coach Oh Dal Sung who was suspected of match fixing...
was released due to insufficient evidence.
That's right. And for the illegal gambling charge,
he was given a fine.
Many are calling it a slap on the wrist.
(Prosecutors' Office)
Professor Gu, wait for me!
Shouldn't we get...
a hot bowl of seolleongtang since you're here?
I hear Seocho-dong is famous for it. And the kimchi is to die for.
- Coach Oh. - Yes?
Getting away with things by the skin of your teeth...
is how you make enemies.
Goodness.
Do you expect to work as a coach with me as one?
Gosh, don't be like that.
Once you become chairman, you know I'd serve you.
I'll have athletes bring home gold...
so that they can be hung around your shoulders.
Have you forgotten that I'm a gold medalist?
I'm nothing like Chairman Go...
who can be won over by the promise of gold medals.
Got it.
What the...
Hold on. How is he...
I said I'd come at you if you kept this buried.
Are you insane?
Come on.
What can you do about it anyway?
As if you're a match for me.
Don't you remember how I knocked you down with one blow?
How many times must I tell you...
that I'm the official winner of that match?
The match you won by buying off the referee?
Aren't you ashamed to even mention it?
I would've still won had there not been a referee!
Whatever.
I hate scandals more than anything,
but you made your bed.
- Call the police. - Sure.
How dare you assault me.
Hold on. There he is!
Just a second. I'm Park Hyun Soo with Sunday Morning.
Is it true that Oh Yeon Ji, the basketball player...
who took her own life,
filed a report to the Sports Human Rights Center?
I don't know where you get your stories from,
but bombarding someone with groundless accusations...
doesn't seem ethical to me.
That would be true if only it was groundless.
However,
what if there was proof?
Keep it to a minimum, will you?
Whatever Chairman Go put you up to...
Do I seem like someone who takes orders from others?
A recording?
We're obligated to record all the reports filed by phone.
I destroyed the documents,
but I couldn't bring myself to destroy this as well.
Yes, I understand what you're saying.
If you could tell me your team...
The head coach keeps ordering us to rig games.
Ever since I refused to do so,
he hasn't let me train,
and he's been bullying me.
I don't know what to do.
What can I do about this?
Please help me.
Mr. Gu, good morning.
Good morning, Mr. Gu.
Please think about this and call us again.
I warned you.
I told you that burying this...
would make me react in unknown ways.
Did that jerk Gong Sang Doo give you this file?
What if it was that jerk? Are you going to fire him?
(Resignation Letter)
Are you really handing in your letter of resignation?
Even I will squirm when stomped on.
Don't let him walk over you...
and squirm when you can.
I don't need this.
Seeing how you use people to get what you want...
while trampling over them...
makes me think of you in this way.
You poor man.
Here's a man with insecurities deep within.
Why you...
- What the... - Guys, take your pictures.
They're going at it.
With that fist of yours,
you might be able to subdue your subordinate,
but you'll never win people's trust.
Can you at least live with honor as a one-time sportsman?
And you, I'll see you again another time.
I'm leaving to go on a trip.
Why would we meet again?
Oh Yeon Ji's recording.
We all heard it, so can you explain?
- Hey. - Did you destroy her report?
- Will you stop it? - Please comment.
What do you have to say?
- Let's switch to him. Mr. Oh. - Hey!
Jegal. You son of a...
Oh Yeon Ji, the basketball player who was found dead at home...
had contacted the Sports Human Rights Center,
but it turned out her report had been ignored.
According to a recording that was released, the late Oh...
- did not die over... - What scoundrels.
Punks like that are giving...
- the rest of us a bad name. - She was shunned...
You can curse too.
It's not bad or wrong to curse out those who deserve it.
It's a form of psychotherapy.
Oh, right...
Shall we go? The athletes will be waiting.
(Ice Rink)
(Korea National Archery Team)
Dr. Park.
Why must I go when I'm not on the archery team?
The archery team's psychotherapy course...
is the best here.
It's my special prescription for the two of you.
Why not? Let's pretend it's a trip.
I'm in no mood for a trip.
Hey.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
My bad.
- I'm late. - You're never on time.
What took you so long?
Blame the traffic. It was hectic.
How come...
Didn't you quit being the center's mental coach?
I did.
I'm here as a personal mental coach.
Personal... Whose?
You're late on your first day. Good for you.
I'm only here because you pleaded and begged for me.
When did I plead and beg?
When did I say he pleaded and begged?
- You did, that time. - When...
Lee Moo Kyeol requested you to be his personal mental coach.
So come back to your athletes or you'll regret it.
I heard Moo Kyeol no longer has a sponsor.
How can he afford a personal coach?
He has a new sponsor now.
I just need you to be his sponsor.
- Lee Moo Kyeol? - He's a national star.
"An assemblyman believes in a swimmer with a panic disorder..."
"and backs him to the end."
It's bound to improve your image.
Why are you going this far to help me?
Why were you so nice to Ga Eul?
Our reasons are the same.
We don't want to lose someone again.
In the world we live in,
there are trashy people that you talked about,
but there are way more good people.
Join us if you change your mind.
Moo Kyeol and Ga Eul are joining Archery's psychotherapy course.
Oh, right.
Ga Eul asked me to pass this on to you.
What is it?
Are you pleased to quit because you want to, punk?
Jegal Gil, you're an idiot and a jerk.
I really have nothing to write down.
I'm so tired and exhausted.
(It's a day I want to quit it all.)
It's a day I want to quit it all.
I still need you.
(I still need you.)
Can hurt caused by people...
really be healed by other people?
Goodness.
Why are you touching her head?
She's not your kid. It's not your head.
- Come here, you. - We're running late. Get in.
Come on, quit joking around.
Who are you, mister?
Me? Mental coach Jegal Gil.
Shall we get going?
Let's go, to Geoje Island!
One thing's for sure.
When we're at our weakest,
if we have just one person to hold out a hand,
if we pluck up the little courage it takes to grab that hand,
then we can start anything over again.
Even if you failed yesterday,
even if you crumbled today,
another tomorrow awaits us.
(Mental Coach Jegal)
Yes, a trip.
You said it was a trip.
She's a natural-born archer.
You can't let her remain in this state.
The athletes are not in their rooms.
Mr. Jegal's not in his either.
Close your eyes and think.
What is the target, the mark of your life?
I'm considering resigning as head of the Sports Human Rights Center.
You turned a crisis into an opportunity. Nice.
I won't say it again, so listen carefully.
I think they each found the cure to their slumps.
