It's an expensive car.
We should wipe it down.
Pegasus Market
Episode 4
(Jung Bok-dong)
Oh, Mr. Kwon!
Sir!
Who is he?
Why are you sitting here with your feet on the desk?
Mr. Moon.
Are you that clueless?
Do you know who he is?
Who... is he?
Who am I?
That's a good question.
I'm Gab.
Gab.
Mr. Kwon.
Vice president, Mr. Gab.
What brings the two of you here?
Goodness, Mr. Jung.
It's been a while.
How have you been?
Put your feet down.
I said get your smelly feet off of the desk!
Mr. Jung.
It's been a while since we met.
So why are you yelling at me?
...Sir.
Is it because I put my feet on the desk?
Mr. Jung's quite picky.
Jung Bok-dong.
Even if this is your office,
don't you think you're being too rude to Mr. Kim?
What brings you here, Mr. Kim?
I came here to see you.
Why else would I come to a pathetic neighborhood like this?
You two may go now.
Our dear Mr. Jung.
You must've been very hurt by my grandfather.
Right?
So that frilled-necked lizard is... I mean...
The one with that muffler is the vice president, Mr. Kim Gab, right?
I only heard about him. He's the only living relative of Mr. Kim.
That's right.
He's the super, ultra rude man born with a silver spoon, Mr. Kim Gab.
Why would someone as important as him come to our market?
I know, right?
I wonder why he came all the way here?
I'm sure that HQ has its eyes on our market.
We need to work harder at times like this to be favored by the higher ups.
But I failed to recognize Mr. Kim Gab.
I was rude to the heir about his feet.
Don't despair too much.
He's not the heir for sure yet.
Mr. Gab went to study abroad at a young age
but he couldn't adjust so he became a failure.
There's a famous story about the chairman being pissed off
when Mr. Gab returned with a diploma from a no name college in the U.S.
So he only holds the title, vice president.
Well, in the company's eye, he's just the black sheep.
Of course...
Being disliked by someone like him is scarier.
Hang in there!
I find what happened between you and my grandfather very unfortunate.
You worked so hard for DM Group ever since you joined the company.
Right?
Did you come here out of the blue just to comfort me?
Why are you being so rude?
He came because he was worried about you.
He also wanted to see if you had any concerns and he wanted to console...
Mr. Kwon.
Fine.
I won't beat around the bush.
Grandpa isn't doing well in terms of his health.
Although there are a few issues with my succession,
things will go the way they are supposed to in the end.
As long as you do a good job of protecting Pegasus Market,
I'll compensate you for it all.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Even if something bothers you,
just lay low and be quiet.
I'm saying just stay where you are.
For the sake of the future.
Nice, nice.
Sign? Sign?
He doesn't trust just words.
He doesn't!
Mr. Jung!
- Mr. Jung! - Hey! Bok-dong, what's wrong with you?
Hey!
Wait, wait!
Open the door! Open the door!
- Why isn't this opening? - Open it!
- It's not opening! - Pull it! Pull it!
He twisted it...
What is this? Why isn't it opening?
Be careful, be careful.
Do you want me to carry you on my back?
Come on, come on.
I don't think this will work.
When I go on your back, it opens so...
It hurts so much, sir.
I'll get revenge for you.
I will never forget what happened today.
Please pay him back for me.
I will.
Careful, careful.
What is that?
Who are you guys?
Move.
Your car is great.
We made it shine.
It's customer service.
What are you saying?
I don't know need it so move aside!
It's soft!
It's soft. It's soft.
Fur.
What is this?
It's wax that makes hair grow.
It's a Lion King style.
Gab and Mr. Kwon went to Pegasus Market?
Yes, sir.
What is wrong with those two?
Did you bring back what I told you to bring?
Yes, sir.
I analyzed and reviewed everything based on 4 scenarios.
A scenario where Pegasus Market is closed down before word gets out about the issue.
A scenario where Mr. Jung takes full responsibility
A scenario where only Mr. Kwon takes responsibility.
And the worst case scenario where you get blamed for this too.
It's four proposals for the four scenarios.
What do you think, Mr. Kim?
Pegasus Market is closely tied to who will succeed you too.
Yes.
You need to make a decision.
Tell Gab to come see me.
Yes, sir.
(Pegasus Market)
Hurry up!
- No! - Wait for me!
Kids!
Hey, hey!
Hey, you guys can't open and use these without even paying for them!
Kids!
Be quiet in public places.
Okay?
Kids, kids!
What?
Kid.
You need to pay for things like this before you eat them in the market, okay?
Excuse me!
How dare you lecture my son?
Ma'am...
Opening a product before paying for it goes against our policy.
Nobody's stealing it!
It's because my son was very hungry and he loves snacks!
We could just let him eat and bring the empty bag to pay for it later!
How could a market be such a stickler for the rules?
Are you going to operate like this?
I'm sorry.
Jeez.
What an eyesore.
Let's go.
Unbelievable.
Hey, what are you guys putting in your backpacks?
Hey, hurry!
Wow, it's an arcade!
What's with this vibe all of a sudden?
We suddenly have an increase in rude customers, right?
Neighborhood school bullies keep coming and stealing products too.
What is going on in our precious Pegasus Market?
We think it's because...
- Hurry, hurry! - The arcade!
(Arcade)
Didn't I tell you to give me money?
I said go home and bring it!
Give it to me!
Rude customers and school bullies from the neighborhood were coming here
because of the free arcade Mr. Jung made.
Mr. Jung, we need to close down the arcade right now.
Our market is about to go bankrupt because of the arcade!
Mr. Moon.
Did you ever think about this?
The next generation of our society.
I'm talking about our teenagers and children.
They have nowhere to go.
When I was younger, my friends and I were able to go around the neighborhood and play.
We were so happy.
Mr. Jung, what are...?
Our market will take responsibility for the next generation.
If our market takes the lead in helping society return
to the old times when people were kind and compassionate
and when the whole village raised a child together.
What's more worthwhile than this?
Mr. Jung...
I think we need to concentrate more on the arcade.
We should increase the number of coins we're giving out for free too.
Hey, it's over there!
Can we please talk for a second, sir?
Sir! Miss!
Hello, Mr. Jung!
Excuse me!
Kid, are you okay?
My ice cream!
Son! Son! Oh, goodness! Son!
Hey, who are you?
Are you an employee?
I'm the president.
The president?
That's great then!
I don't have to go through multiple channels! I can just tell you!
How are you managing your market?
The market floor is so slippery that it's hard to walk here!
Do you want me to slide around here?
Son, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?
Oh, my goodness! Why is your face so pale?
This was the only custom fitted suited I had!
Kids, what are you doing here?
Mister.
Just mind your own business.
What are you doing? Close the door.
Shall I?
Mr. Jung.
Mr. Jung!
Mr. Jung.
Please save me!
Mr. Jung!
Please... please save me!
Mr. Jung!
Seok-goo.
What's wrong?
Ms. Jo, don't go to the arcade.
You'll get robbed.
Robbed?
Mr. Moon!
We have trouble!
Of course, we are.
I saw a high school student steal money from a grade schooler.
Is there more trouble?
That's not it! Mr. Jung is going to the children with a suspicious looking object.
He's a strange person.
What was he carrying?
It looks like a weapon!
A weapon?
Yes, I saw it myself!
He looked like a school teacher about to give the kids a beating !
- We need to stop him! - We need to go now!
We need to go!
Mr. Jung, stop!
You can't use violence!
Mr. Jung!
A flute?
The children are gathering.
What in the world?
(Pegasus Market)
Mr. Jung...
Mr. Jung's amazing.
I feel like I'm seeing Gandhi.
That's what you call true nonviolence.
(Hydra Market)
Recharge is complete.
Mr. Jung.
You're...
...truly amazing!
Mr. Jung, you're amazing!
He's so cool!
(Arcade)
(Pegasus Market)
Ms. Jo?
Oh!
The coffee's good.
Yes.
It is.
Seok-goo, you graduated from an all boys' junior high and high schools, right?
How did you know?
And you majored in engineering in college?
How did you know that?
That's amazing.
It just seemed that way.
Is it that obvious that I went down that unfortunate track of
going to an all boys' junior high, high school, engineering college, and military?
A little?
Why do you read personal development books?
I think you bought something similar at the bookstore last time too.
Because they're very helpful.
You can develop yourself in a way that the author proposed.
Or the author may propose a solution to a problem you may face in your life.
But aren't they all the same?
Most of them are published on projects too.
I found it more helpful to ask advice from my friends or people I know.
I don't have friends.
Pardon?
I don't really have someone to ask for advice.
I know it sounds weird. I'm really sorry.
No, it's not weird.
You said it so nonchalantly that I got flustered.
These days, knowing people is like a skill you list on your resume too.
So when you don't have any special friends or when you don't date,
people think you're someone who has a problem.
But I don't agree.
My energy is limited and the work I have to do every day is set.
When I focus on those things, I tend to lose contact with people.
Rather than managing my network because of what other people may think of me,
I want to be someone who's ready.
Someone who's ready?
When I find someone I really want to be good to,
I want to be someone who's ready to do that.
That's why I'm currently focused on my work.
And when I need advice, I read.
Thanks for the coffee.
I'll buy next time.
I may be old fashioned because I graduated from
an all boys' junior high, high school, and engineering university.
But I'll buy coffee next time too.
Okay.
Get home safely.
You too.
Thank you.
Seeing how they even sent an employee from HQ,
DM Group must have its eye on the market as you said, son.
Right?
Yes.
The HQ employee doesn't show off or make you feel small?
She has a great resume, a great personality, and a pretty face too.
I don't know how she's so perfect.
She's pretty too?
Very pretty.
Never mind.
Why don't you ask her out on a date?
She is pretty.
But she's not my type.
And I don't think I'm her type either.
What's wrong with my son?
You're the best husband material.
Oh, Mom!
Let's be honest. Your son isn't the best husband material.
You're being ridiculous.
Come on, son!
Be confident!
You're at a good age! You should date people!
No.
I'm not interested in dating.
I'm going to make money. I love money.
Your son's going to earn money.
What do you think you're doing?
Did you want to get hurt?
I'm sorry, sir.
So you really tried to kill yourself?
I'm sorry...
You look like you're not even 50 yet. Why would you try to do something so horrible?
Well...
I'm in the business of making muk.
I usually supply them to chain markets.
I recently expanded my business.
I signed a short term supply contract with Pareun Market.
I was doing it for the business.
But another market heard about it...
...and they informed me they're going to stop working with me.
It was a major client that bought most of my supplies.
But I lost the client out of the blue like this.
So the muk business that's been in my family since my grandfather...
...is about to fall apart because of me!
The factory is stopped.
I'm behind on paying my employees' paychecks!
It's all over now...
To be honest, I'm actually the president of a market
in Bonghwang City called Pegasus Market.
Would you like to supply this muk to our market?
Thank you! Thank you!
If you do that, I'll supply it for $0.50 cheaper than I did for the other market!
No, don't do that.
We'll pay you 3 times more than what you sold it for.
Pardon?
(Royal Muk)
That's how we got this muk.
It's a new product so I want you to sell this, Mr. Moon.
Mr. Jung.
Everybody is trying so hard to bring prices down!
So why would you pay 3 times the price?
Displaying such expensive acorn muk is bad for our market!
You haven't signed an official contract yet.
Please hurry up and take these back.
Wait.
Mr. Moon.
You're forgetting something important right now.
This muk goes well with our market.
This man does as well.
What do you mean, sir?
A person who lost in the life tournament.
Who cares if it sells or not?
Who cares if things are in disarray?
Let's just relax and sell these muk.
Cheaper.
Cheaper, cheaper.
Make it cheaper.
I always made muk while hearing those kinds of requests.
Rather than making good muk or delicious muk,
I lived my whole life trying to make muk in a cheaper way.
But after you told me you would pay me 3 times the usual price,
I thought of a motto I've forgotten for 27 years.
You were telling me that it doesn't matter how much it takes to make it,
you wanted me to bring you good muk!
No, that's not what I meant...
I never said that.
I realized something after I talked to you.
That's why I decided to use a secret recipe passed down in my family for generations.
It's...
...the recipe for Royal Muk!
Royal Muk...
...is a muk that was part of the royal dinner made for the king.
It was so delicious that...
...legend says the king became Asura.
It's a recipe passed down for generations in my family.
It was made with only the best quality ingredients.
It was made with the intent to make a true delicacy!
This muk...
...will only be sold in Pegasus Market!
I see...
Try some muk.
Please?
This muk is called Royal Muk!
You don't have to buy it! Just try it once!
This muk is called Royal Muk.
Try it.
($15.20/each)
Why is the muk so expensive?
At this price, I would rather buy meat.
How good can it be? It's just muk.
Let's try it first.
This....
...tastes just like the one my mother who was left behind in North Korea made for me!
This texture! This flavor!
Was the muk I've been eating until now just porridge?
The moment I took a bite of the muk,
I became an acorn tree shedding one acorn at a time.
Give me all of this muk.
What are you talking about? I need to buy some too!
What are you doing?
Hold on!
Take one at a time!
Stand in line! Stand in line!
(Royal Muk has been selling for 10 days)
(Selected as a dish you have to try when you visit Korea)
Thank you! Is it good?
Our Royal Muk was able to get back on its feet
because of Mr. Jung Bok-dong.
We value our business ethics
so we only sell our Royal Muk at Pegasus Market.
Thank you, Mr. Jung.
(President's award)
(Royal Muk has been selling for 30 days)
Is it true that the the statues of two people on the horse
symbolizes co-prosperity and friendships among businesses?
Mr. Jung, please say a few words.
Mr. Jung, how do you feel? Please say a few comments.
Would you please comment on your future plans?
Please say a few words!
(Pegasus Market President Jung receives President's Award for Business Co-prosperity)
Thanks to the Royal Muk, the market sales are rapidly rising.
Many people are coming here for it,
so even though the factory is operating 24/7,
it's not enough to meet the demand right now!
Why would people go through the trouble of buying that muk instead of going home?
It means that the muk that you personally brought into our market is that great!
I really... admire you!
Mr. Moon.
Bring out all the best drinking water we have in our market.
Why do you want me to bring them all out suddenly?
Pass them out to the customers who are waiting.
Why don't we sell them instead? I think that's way better.
Just give them out! 2 or 3 bottles!
Just do as I say.
Yes, sir.
When you're tired and lonely,
a sip of cold water feels like a friend for my tired soul.
Today, our mission is to become friends with the customers.
Are you all ready?
We are!
Let's go!
It's good!
Drink!
(Pegasus Market President Jung Bok-dong receives President's Award)
Pegasus Market is doing very well right now.
That Royal Muk or whatever it's called.
What's so great about it that people are going crazy over it?
Jung Bok-don.
It seems like he's planning to expand the market business.
The media has its eye on Pegasus Market too now.
I think you should lay low even more at times like this.
I heard Mr. Gab came to work today.
He did?
Yes, Mr. Kim wanted to see him.
Gab, what have you been doing these days?
I...
Well...
Grandpa, like you told me...
I mean...
I'm diligently studying management like you told me to, sir.
How could you be studying management when you're not even showing up at work?
Last time, you told me the importance of field work so I'm looking around the sites.
I'm looking around the rural factories too.
I'm going around the affiliated companies and everywhere else.
Now isn't the time for you to look around!
You shouldn't be looking! You should be showing something!
You push all your responsibility to Mr. Kwon!
Don't you think I know that you're just fooling around outside?
I'm sorry...
Just when are you going to come to your senses?
How long are you going to be incompetent?
Say something!
I'll do my best...
Get out, you idiot!
(Pegasus Market President Jung Bok-dong receives President's Award)
Are you okay?
Did you get scolded a lot?
I want to be alone today.
Just what did those people in rags put on the car
that no matter how much I pluck the hair out, it keeps growing?
(Pegasus Market)
Mr. Kwon!
What brings you here, sir?
Mr. Moon.
Get in.
What is it, sir?
You'll find out when you get in.
It's Mr. Kwon.
What are Mr. Kwon and Seok-goo doing together?
I should follow them.
(Give Me Money)
I hope the food is to your liking.
I've never been to such a luxurious restaurant.
Do you drink?
I'm not really much of a drinker.
Here.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
- Drink. - Yes.
As I told you before, I don't know how to beat around the bush.
So...
Here.
Take this.
What is this?
What do you think it is?
It's your employee ID card for HQ.
Are you really going to help me transfer to HQ? Are you serious?
You're great but you always make me repeat myself.
Do I look like I'm joking right now?
I'm sorry but I'm so happy right now.
This is... Thank you!
I'll do my best to serve you, sir!
I'll do my best in everything, sir!
I knew you and I would get along.
Those two were on the same side?
That damn Moon Seok-goo.
How could he join Kwon Young-gu's side without even a moment of hesitation?
Mr. Moon.
But you know...
Before you're officially transferred to HQ,
I need you to do something.
What is it?
There might be an incident that will make Pegasus Market fall apart soon.
It will be something complicated like accounting.
Pegasus Market?
Yes.
When that happens, I need you to say this.
"I did it all because Jung Bok-dong told me to do it."
I don't know what you're talking about...
Do you have slime in your ears?
Why don't you understand?
I'm sorry.
Repeat after me.
"I did it all because Jung Bok-dong told me to do it."
"It was Jung Bok-dong's plan."
"Jung Bok-dong's responsible."
"I did it all because Jung Bok-dong told me to do it."
Then what you're saying right now is...
...You want me to betray Mr. Jung?
Of course.
Kwon Young-gu.
So this is what you're going to do?
If he and Mr. Moon work together, Mr. Jung will fall for the trap.
This is an emergency.
I need to tell Mr. Jung about this right now.
I can't do it.
I can't betray Mr. Jung.
Didn't you say you wanted to work at HQ?
Don't you know what a big opportunity this is?
- Don't you get it? - I do.
I know you're giving me a big opportunity but...
...I can't do it.
The Mr. Jung Bok-dong I'm working under is...
You all pass. All of Bbaya Tribe pass.
I often don't know what he's thinking.
And he often behaves in ways that I just don't understand.
But after Mr. Jung started working at the market,
the employees at the market work with smiles on their faces.
And he...
...isn't someone who should be betrayed by someone like me.
And I also don't think my mom would want me to become successful
by going as far as betraying my boss.
I nearly misunderstood him.
Seok-goo is loyal.
I like how he thinks.
Fine.
Then give me that back.
Wait! Hold on! No, no!
Why? You said you will be on Jung Bok-dong's side.
I... want to be on your side, sir!
What?
Mr. Jung is a good person.
But you're great too.
I want to be on both of your sides!
What?
What in the world is he saying?
I want to be loyal to both of you!
I want to serve both of you!
What are you talking about?
You need to give up on one of us!
Why?
Why do I have to give up on one of you?
Do I have to explain?
If you believe in Jesus, you need to give up on Buddha.
And vice versa!
Jesus is a good person and so is Buddha.
If I love both of them, the love would be twice the...
I want to serve both of you!
It seems like you don't understand.
Jung Bok-dong and I are enemies.
We're adversaries!
Then you two should make up.
Jesus said you should love your enemies.
I had no idea at the time that...
...his scary attitude was just beginning.
I'm sorry but I'm hungry so my stomach is growling.
I'm going to eat first.
(Kim Chi-ah)
Mr. Kim.
I brought the polls and the resident survey report.
(Assemblyman Kim Chi-ah Poll Analysis Result)
Why are my ratings like this?
Well...
If you read the resident survey report...
Resident survey report?
"All Kim Chi-ah knows how to do is show off his teeth. Just what can he do?"
"He's been elected 3 times but public transportation hasn't improved at all."
"He doesn't care about the residents' desire for Bonghwang City's development."
Sir.
You should come up with a solution.
Are you new to this?
In order to get my ratings up in a short amount of time,
I need to make a common enemy.
A public enemy.
Find a target in the district I can attack.
Like a large corporation factory or a market!
They're all paying for your campaign every year.
So if we attack them, it will be worse for us.
There are people like him who don't donate! Why I ought to!
(Pegasus Market President Jung Bok-dong)
Hurry, hurry!
Recharge is complete.
I'm going to make a surprise visit to Pegasus Market now.
We will conduct an inspection to uncover any corruption and violation.
You know everybody has a dirty secret.
If we find anything, we'll blast him off to the other end of the Earth, to Andromeda!
We will use the media to portray who's good and who's evil.
And we will aim to turn back people's hearts.
- Got it? - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
(Pegasus Market)
Welcome, cust...
Hello! My name's Kim Chi-ah! Nice to meet you!
Goodness, ma'am!
Things are tough these days, right?
I understand all your concerns!
Nice to meet you!
Things are so expensive these days, right?
Yes.
- I'll take control of prices. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Trust me.
Hello...!
Hello!
My name's Kim Chi-ah.
You look way better on TV.
- You look better on screen. - Yes.
Your Highness!
My name's Kim Chi-ah.
I see.
Mr. Moon!
It's an emergency!
What do you mean emergency? What is it this time?
An assemblyman is here at our market!
Assemblyman...?
Mr. Kim Chi-ah?
He's looking around everywhere right now!
He said he's going to come to our office later to investigate us!
Where did Mr. Jung go when we have an emergency?
Yes, what's wrong?
Sir, where are you right now?
I'm outside. Why?
Mr. Kim Chi-ah is at our market for a health inspection.
You can take care of that.
I trust you.
So take good care of him.
Mr. Jung!
Hello!
Those seafood!
Make sure you check where they're from.
That's where corruption starts.
Hello, sir!
You work hard day and night to help Bonghwang City's development.
So I'm truly honored that you came to visit our market!
I'm the manager of Pegasus Market!
My name's Moon Seok-goo!
I'm the manager of Pegasus Market!
My name's Moon Seok-goo!
Pegasus Market
It would take a lot of money every month to maintain such a large aquarium.
He shouldn't be nice without any reason like that!
Starting today, I'm working here.
I'm sure he's up to something.
No matter what happens, I'll bring those damn documents to you, sir.
So you're saying you need Jung Bok-dong's finger and eyeball to steal them, right?
Tail him until I call you!
If you don't, you and I will be both fired.
I'm here to meet the president.
If they come again, you can send them away again, Mr. Moon!
If I'm not careful, I might be blamed for everything.
If you're planning something...
Jung Bok-dong! Jung Bok-dong!
