[One year ago]
Thank you so much...
for trusting me and partnering with Bumyoung.
That's not it.
I chose Bumyoung because it's the optimal partner for Silver Lining.
You're still the same...
how you never mix business and pleasure.
In that case, I'll also treat you professionally.
Okay.
- President Kim? - Yes, Executive Director.
I'm sincerely...
looking forward to working with you.
The pleasure is mine.
[8: Unlocked]
You were just used by him anyway.
Just tell the truth-
You should've expected this much.
The timing is now.
Ready, action.
Just stay like this?
What do I do after?
Worried about your phone even in this urgent situation?
It must be an extremely important thing.
I was curious about who was behind a countryside job seeker.
It looks like I'll find out soon.
Don't try anything funny and pretend not to know anything...
if you want to save your life, at least.
You just let him go?
Yes.
How can you get the phone taken from you?
This means President Kim has been kidnapped.
No.
It's all part of a plan.
It's still too dangerous.
We can't help it.
Even if we do successfully catch Mr. No,
just like with Mr. Nam and Director Kwak,
they'll cut off the tail, and there will be one more victim.
I understand how you feel, but
I can't agree with you.
Convince me with indisputable logic, which is more like you.
There's no other way with greater probability.
Because I can watch and listen in the middle of the enemy's camp.
What if they d-do something bad to you?
I'm just a phone in their eyes.
- Let's ask Se Yeon for her opinion first- - No, we can't.
Secretary Jung will be even more against it.
There's no time.
This is...
a strategy, only between us two.
Are you in the right mind?
You should've stopped him no matter what.
- I can't do this. I'm calling the cops- - Wait!
You also saw it, Se Yeon.
Even the police aren't free from Bumyoung's hands.
We need physical evidence, not suspicion.
Yes.
I'll relocate my lodging.
The person he's talking to, the place he's going to...
and the person who is above him.
From this moment on,
we're going to check everything.
[Bumyoung Motor Group]
Quiet, now.
I can't hear clearly.
I'll be careful.
Why? Did something happen?
I just heard a gunshot...
There's no way...
Aren't they screaming?
Why?
It's a game.
What?
Gosh...
he's really shameless.
His cover was blown, but he's playing games.
He's different from Mr. Nam.
"I won't run away."
It was that much of a perfect crime
and he's confident about it.
Then we need to find decisive evidence, but...
President Kim was right in the end.
By the way, what do we do if Mr. No turns off the phone
or the phone runs out of battery
even before President Kim finds the evidence?
At that point, we can't even track its location or anything.

President Park.
President Park?
- President Park. - Whoa!
You scared me.
Aren't you going to work?
Oh, the alarm.
Gosh...
Right, I don't have Kim Seon Ju starting today.
Starting today?
I got a call from the President in the morning.
He said things were sailing smoothly.
Isn't that great?
I'm really worried.
Don't be worried, Se Yeon.
President Kim is a man who would survive in a den of tigers, even.
He's smart, you know?
I'm not talking about President Kim.
Then who?
I'm worried about you, In Seong.
Sorry?
President Park!
Oh, yes. Director Kim, what's the matter?
So the thing is that...
I'm not getting the approvals.
Approvals?
When you were taking office,
you said all approvals will be signed electronically.
But if you won't even check them since yesterday, how-
can we possibly work, seriously?
Oh, I see...
I was just about to review them right now.
- What? - Follow me.
[Silver Lining AR: Discontinuing AR Glasses Enterprise Department]
When did all of these come?
Is it this?
It's not the one about sales...
profits, for sure.
No, it's not.
Oh, it's the "First Half of Next Year..."
It's about "Discontinuing AR Glasses Enterprise Department."
The AR Glasses?
But its performance was just as good as the reality.
[ROI: Return On Investment] We agreed to first weigh the validity of departments with the lowest ROI.
ROI?
[VC: Venture Capital] We failed to secure investment for Series B from the VC in Singapore.
Whether to discontinue or ask Bumyoung for additional budget...
We need to decide that, President Park.
What will be your decision?
I need time to think about it.
Because it's such an important matter.
You need to decide before the HQ meeting at the latest.
Of course.
By the way...
when is the meeting again?
It's tomorrow.
What?
Yes.
Okay.
T-Tomorrow...
F-Four hundred people?
AR Glasses Enterprise Department only...
has the original technology here at Silver Lining.
Product development and content creation are...
being done through a subcontractor.
So you're saying if we discontinue the AR glasses business,
about 400 people's livelihoods...
will be jeopardized, right?
On the other hand, if you continue a business with low ROI like now,
then Silver Lining will have a tough time.
But I need to make that decision by tomorrow?
- Yes. - Gosh...
There's no time.
I need the President right now.
[Park In Seong]
- What's the matter? - P-President Kim?
I told you to wait until I contact you first!
It's such an urgent matter.
They want to discontinue the AR Glasses Enterprise Department.
Oh, that's... Oh!
S-Someone's coming right now. Hang up!
Wait, P-President Kim!
He hung up.
[Smartphone Expert]
Hello, welcome.
Oh, Sunbaenim! Salute!
I heard that you were discharged.
How long has it been?
- You're doing well, right? - Well...
I'm doing what I studied in my major, as you can see.
Here.
You can unlock this, right?
Oh, unlocking a phone doesn't even count as work.
I'll come back after I get off work.
Please take care.
Shall I open it up now, then?
What's the point of opening this?
Gosh, you're driving me crazy.
Please just sit there and be quiet.
Aigoo, In Seong's birthday isn't it, either.
Why? Why is this not opening?
It'd be a book, not a lock, if it opens easily.
Can't you just put it somewhere, like under his pillow?
How can you just put it somewhere?
In Seong's future depends on this matter.
The monk said...
I must put it near my son's cherished belonging.
That monk seemed like a fraud.
Come on!
We must have money to throw away.
Why are you trying to jinx it?
Let me see.
Here.
Gosh, why?
You said it needs to be next to In Seong's most cherished thing.
He watched this TV every day back when he was trying to become an actor-
Aigoo!
We must have money to throw away...
Aigoo...
Are you okay?
I was envious of President Kim.
Because I was always the one who had to be chosen.
When I was going for auditions...
and when I was a job seeker, too.
"Why wouldn't they pick me?"
"Gosh...
how great would it be if I also had a choice?"
But then...
thinking that now...
a person's life,
a family's happiness,
and a company's fate all depend on my choice,
my worries are getting ahead of me.
Yet again,
I feel how...
great of a man President Kim is.
I saw a phrase when I accompanied him to a golf meeting.
"Pro's ball goes in the planned direction.
Amateur's ball...
goes in the feared direction."
What you need right now, In Seong...
isn't worrying but a plan.
I'll also help.
It's not unlocking?
Maybe there's security software or something.
I just can't get it cracked.
You can also go and try every single combination.
Of course, I tried that as well.
I ran by it numerous times, but it won't open.
- Is that possible? - No.
This is also the first time for me.
Seriously, this doesn't make sense.
Unless someone keeps changing the PIN in the middle,
this can't be explained.
Yes.
I'll be on my way.
Se Yeon, hurry now!
- You heard from him? - Yes.
He said Mr. No was on the move.
Please go to BY Hotel.
Only Vice Chairman Oh's permitted guests can enter the BY Hotel Lounge.
Then an important discussion can happen today.
- You made it, Vice Chairman. - Yes, yes.
Your new product looks great.
- Yes, thank you so much. - Sure, sure.
Let's meet on the field one day.
- It'll be an honor. - Sure.
I'll be waiting.
Okay.
Now, now...
this one's getting late.
I'll give him a call.
It's okay.
I'll wait some more.
He's a man doing an important job.
What about Baro 4.0?
We're still trying to figure it out.
Both Executive Director Oh and President Park...
Keep monitoring both of them.
Speaking of President Park's phone that you mentioned that time...
Wait.
I don't think now is the right time to talk about that.
Geez...
he just had to end his sentence there.
I heard it loud and clear.
Before Vice Chairman cut him off, he got a text.
I think I also heard as well, but...
What's up?
Who were you communicating with?
No way...
you're not, right?
Hand it over.
The timing is too perfect.
You also texted after hearing about our destination earlier.
Did you tell him that we're eavesdropping on him?
Cut the bullshit and hand it over! Shit!
I can't help it.
This time...
I must hear it as well.
Huh?
Uncle, you're also going to leave, right?
Just do as you please.
I'm all alone anyway.
I was holding on to him.
What do we do?
I'm scared.
Gosh... shit.
Please drop me off at home today.
Fortunately...
it wasn't that he betrayed us.
That's right.
That's why...
there's a new job to do now.
Gosh, so delicious!
Aren't you hungry, Detective Ma?
Detective?
We did stake out earlier.
Doesn't that make us about half detectives?
Don't beat around the bush and cut to the chase.
I'm sorry for misunderstanding you.
By the way...
when did you exchange numbers with Min Ah?
Doesn't the kid have a mom, either?
She passed away when she was younger.
Even so, I'm proud of her that she doesn't have
a frown on her face.
It's because she has a lot of money.
Her dad's a big company's president anyway.
Gosh, what's all this ruckus?
Aigoo, what's going on at this hour?
We couldn't have a proper dinner because of work.
You can go inside and rest.
As for all the dishes...
he'll take care of them.
You see, this is my work.
I'm getting paid to do this job.
Gosh, it's so bland.
How can a person eat this?
Should I add some more salt or something?
- Well... - Can you eat spicy food?
Yes.
What about you?
Thank you for the food.
Daebak...
Please have some. It's really delicious.
Are you okay?
You can't eat spicy food?
I told you to say so earlier.
You have a childish palate, unlike your looks.
I feel like mine is smaller than his.
It's all in your head.
We've also become a sikgoo* now. ("Family member" in Korean)
I heard the word sikgoo comes from
"to eat, sik" and "mouth, goo."
People who eat food together like us.
I'm not into stuff like a sikgoo.
What about the watch?
It seemed expensive, so I sold it.
Whoa...
your consistency toward money...
It doesn't waver at all.
Are you mocking me?
No, no. Not at all.
Absolutely not. No.
By the way...
what are you going to do with all that money?
Is it your dream to become a landlord?
I never thought about that.
What are you going to do with all that money?
Is it your dream to become a landlord?

- Let's call it a day here. - Okay, thank you so much, Coach.
- You know, the fight tomorrow... - Yes.
Let's not try too hard for it.
- Wait, for the National Team Selections? - Yes.
You're still an 11th-grader.

I'm trusting only you for tomorrow.
One, two!
Let us go.
I think you should be the one trying out tomorrow, sir.

[Meeting at 11 a.m.]
I have a meeting when I wake up in the morning.
What should I do about the AR glasses?
I should discontinue it, right?
Gosh.
Is there no way to continue it?
President Park,
have you made your decision?
The meeting is in one hour!
Director Oh-
Director Oh will be present. Do you want to be humiliated?
We'll let you know during the meeting.
Can't you see we're talking right now?
Please return, Director Kim.
Should we say you took sick leave
and postpone the meeting for a couple of days?
The AR glasses...
If it were President Kim Seon Ju,
he wouldn't give up on them, right?
I mean, we personally tested the performance.
The problem is
that we haven't found a business model
to turn that great performance into profitability.
That's why the deficit is increasing.
Is there...
really no way for Silver Lining...
and the subcontractor to stay afloat?
You didn't hear from President Kim?
No.
I don't know if he's in a difficult situation,
but he hasn't replied.
Oh, President Kim!
Hey, Mom.
Buy me a TV.
- I'll give you the money. - Why do you need a TV?
Your dad busted it.
I don't need the money.
What size do you need?
You're right.
I'm not sure.
It should be written there.
Gosh, where?
I can't find it.
Then you can go directly to the store and see-
What would I know-
What do I know about electronics?
Gosh, I'm so upset.
Mom!
I'll take care of it. I'm hanging up.
Let's go.
Hey, hey!
Hey.
Gosh.
As I told you in advance,
you agree to discontinue
the AR Glasses Enterprise Department, which has a lower investment return, right?
President Park In Sung?
No.
We'll expand our business.
President Kim.
It's at a deficit now
and you want to expand, not discontinue?
The times have changed.
If you do business with compassion, it will collapse in an instant.
Yes, the times have changed.
Self-employment, department stores, dealerships...
offline sales are all plummeting,
and online sales are rapidly increasing.
The reason why people go to stores
has been narrowed down to seeing products with their own eyes.
I'm trying to get a gift for my mother.
Something she can show off at her school reunion.
- Please come this way. - Get this one?
Gosh, Mom.
Who buys clothes at a department store these days?
The internet is much cheaper.
Then why did we come here?
So we can hold it up
and try it on.
The last hurdle of online shopping...
The inconvenience of having to see the item in person
will be overcome by Silver Lining AR Glasses.
What do you intend to do with a pair of glasses?
Whether it's from home or from work,
as long as you wear these AR glasses...
Let's see. This is...
[65 inches] You'd be able to tell the difference between a 65-inch TV
and a 75-inch TV...
Yeah, it should be this big.
The difference between Bumyoung Motors' SUV and
a mini SUV will be felt vividly.
If this technology is commercialized,
AR glasses
will become a daily necessity
just like today's smartphone
which every modern person possesses.
President Park, are you really confident about this?
You're going to take a risk
of pouring more money into a deficit business?
As much as the world has changed,
investors must change, too.
An attitude averse to risk-taking.
Disregarding value ups, and because they disregard value ups,
a culture that only tends to businesses that prosper.
Of course,
that makes sense in regard to ROI.
So even if they're slightly nervous,
they stop making follow-up investments.
But you mustn't be afraid of change.
These AR glasses
will be a win-win project between Silver Lining and Bumyoung.
I'm certain it'll be the future
source of profit during the Fourth Industrial Age.
Okay.
Bumyoung Distributions', Electronics',
and Motors' product databases...
Please cooperate so that we may share all of it
with Silver Lining.
Oh, President Park.
Yes.
Good job.
What a relief.
It was a close call, but
President Kim Seon Ju was able to contact you before the meeting.
Huh? That's not it.
He didn't contact me.
Huh?
Then how did you...
[Economics]
[Risk-taking]
[Korea Exchange]
[Options Trading]
Whoa, it's open!
- Aigoo. - Huh?
How did you open it?
I thought you didn't know the password.
I thought so.
It was a number I had never even imagined.
What is it?
Is it 1-2-3-4 or something?
Aigoo, gosh.
No.
It was your birthday.
M-My birthday?
I didn't realize you two were so close.
My birthday...
I'm so tired.
Huh?
He's that happy?
Aigoo...
Now...
Our In Seong...
lived so diligently.
Definition of a special clause.
President Kim?
I'm calling you while Mr. No is taking a shower.
Man,
during today's meeting, I...
What's that supposed to mean?
Okay, okay.
This will be quite entertaining.
You may proceed.
Understood, Vice Chairman.
You've made the right decision.
You couldn't be more right.
You're not allowed to go in!
Let go of me.
It's fine.
You may go.
President Park!
How rude is this!
Can't you see we're in a meeting?
I came to participate in the meeting as well.
Today's meeting agenda is...
"Who...
killed Director Kwak Sam Soo?"
I understand your sorrow for your employee's death,
but it was...
already closed as suicide, wasn't it?
No.
It was ordered to be...
closed as suicide.
Someone killed Director Kwak and
also attempted...
to frame me as the suspect.
And I concluded that the culprit was in this room.
- What's he talking about? - You're quite the creative writer!
Do you think you can say whatever you want?
The suspect?
What is the security doing, not throwing him out?
Let's just leave.
This one's locked. Please check that door.
This door is locked, too.
All of you gentlemen may not take a step outside.
There's a big problem!
Vice Chairman is locked up in the conference room. Hurry!
President Park...
if Director Kwak did really get killed,
it's not something that can be overlooked.
Go to the police station
and seek help, not this conference room.
By the way...
among the list of suspects in your mind,
am I also included?
Yes...
you've ranked very high on the list, I might add.
Hey, what are you all doing? We need to drag him out.
Come on and get up!
Come on!
You can't be doing this. Please leave!
Come on, we're going.
Come and move him aside!
Vice Chairman, please come this way.
Please, just take a seat!
That's really the only door to exit through.
As soon as things settle,
I'll escort you out.
- Please! - Move him aside!
Get him out!
President Kim?
I'm calling you while Mr. No is taking a shower.
You know, during the meeting today, I-
I found it.
I found a strictly confidential document.
What do you mean by that?
You found a strictly confidential document?
Things can happen.
It's okay.
It's a person's work, after all.
Vice Chairman Oh Young Geun has it.
That means, to get Baro 4.0's beta testing results, he had ordered your...
and Director Kwak's...
If we can just get the document,
we'll be able to question Vice Chairman.
First off, let's check Vice Chairman's Office.
How can we sneak in there?
Please direct all the attention to yourself, In Seong.
Secretary Jung and Mapi will find it while you're doing so.
Fortunately,
Vice Chairman's Office doesn't have CCTVs.
Because he has lots to hide.
You just need to hold it out, In Seong.
I said no one could leave anyway!
Gosh...
You see...
I wasn't planning to go far as to lock us up.
Seriously...
Please just stay seated, all right?
Everything is up to you, In Seong.
Please stall as long as you can.
Okay?
I found it.
[Collaborating with Silver Lining, Business Outline]
It's not this.
[Bumyoung Group]
Please come this way.
What was that for?
He's a nutcase.
- Yes? - Did you find it?
Not yet.
They're heading up right now.
We can't have that.
Try to stall a bit longer.
- Whoa, what's this? - Aigoo.
What's going on?
For now, let's just...
- get out of here. - Run, now!
Here.
[Strictly Confidential] We found it.
How are you doing the building maintenance?
Bring me some clothes, so I can wash up.
Okay, understood.
Aigoo...
My eyes. I can't open my eyes.
Aigoo!
We'll prepare the clothes right away.
Of course.
That's so strange.
Vice Chairman, here are your clothes.
Did someone come in here while I was gone?
No, Vice Chairman.
Tell the manager to come in!
Are you okay, sir?
Yes.
Today...
President Park was different from usual.
Look into that.
Understood, Vice Chairman.
Aigoo.
I'm glad you're both okay.
[Strictly Confidential]
Nothing much happened, right?
- Yes. - Yeah.
Okay.
Shall we go?
Did the sprinklers malfunction?
It was something President Park In Seong brought about.
President Park did?
During the conference, he suddenly barged in and said,
today's meeting agenda was, "Who killed Director Kwak Sam Soo?"
I heard that's what he said.
Detective Choi handed this over to Vice Chairman?
He must've found it in Director Kwak's car, right?
Yes.
Director Kwak certainly said he had something to give me.
[Baro 4.0 Beta Testing Results]
[According to Baro 4.0 beta testing results, critical defects were found...]
He tried to tell me the truth while giving me this and...
I'm on my way.
I'll go confirm and report back to you.
[President Kim Seon Ju]
He's finally on the move.
I'll turn on location tracking
so, follow me, please.
We need to ambush at a decisive moment.
[Impyeong Mental Hospital]
It's Impyeong Mental Hospital.
Why did you want to see me?
I think he's going to the hospital room right now.
What are his conditions?
Mr. Nam?
Hurry up.
[Impyeong Mental Hospital]
Our relationship...
isn't so laid back to enjoy dinner together, are we?
Was it you?
What do you mean?
I'm talking about Director Kwak.
Were you the one who killed him?
Like Kim Seon Ju?
No.
Kim Seon Ju is...
still alive.

♫ I'm not the one you used to know ♫
♫ You should forget, how about those things that I've done ♫
♫ I can see the change in myself ♫

♫ Now I see the things I couldn't see ♫
[Unlock My Boss]
The spirit, who was betrayed by someone!
Leave him this moment!
It's really President Kim, right?
It's really a g-ghost...
On top of that, the one who died from the medical malpractice is...
I said my president is there!
We don't need to abide the by law against those who tossed it to the dogs, do we?
Was it you? There was a Baro 4.0 report.
You're the one who kidnapped President Kim Seon Ju!
You're not surprised.
It's also a fact that I had a false hope.
I'll make an offer you can't refuse.
When there's no other way, there's still one more way left.
