Stove League (2019) s01e12 Episode Script
Episode 12
1
THIS DRAMA IS FICTION
AND THE ELEMENTS OF THE STORY
HAVE NO RELATION TO REALITY.
How do the players throw in this weather?
They're incredible.
I wouldn't be able to if it were me.
It's the general manager.
Even the rumors going around.
-That's right.
-Okay.
The two of you are close.
-I'm taking care of him right now.
-No, we're taking care of each other.
What did Lim Dong-gyu whisper in your ear?
He just called me out.
-He called you out?
-What for?
He said,
"You're doomed, you crazy little scumbag."
I understand.
I think I understand completely.
Lim Dong-gyu is very hot-blooded.
I'm sure we're going
to win tomorrow, right?
Whether we win or lose, I hope
we find a way to become a strong team.
I'm sure we'll win
when Kang Doo-ki is playing.
Yes, we've done well so far.
Have we done well?
Of course.
We now have Kang Doo-ki,
Gil Chang-ju, and Kim Kwan-sik.
We can only know that we did well
if the players do well.
We can't assume that
we did well just by ourselves.
-That's the job that we're doing.
-Yes.
That is the job that we're doing.
Yes, it's cold. Let's go.
I'm bored. Let's strike out Lim Dong-gyu.
Yes.
All right.
All right, everyone!
Everyone, have some ginseng
before you train.
Here you go, Kang Tae-min.
Our nice guy.
You can do it, Yoo Min-ho.
-Thank you.
-Here's one for our coach.
-Thank you.
-You can do it.
You can do it, Kang Doo-ki.
-Thank you.
-Let's pulverize the Vikings!
Let's do this!
-Hello, Mr. Baek.
-Hi.
-Have you eaten?
-Yes.
Gosh.
There we have Lim Dong-gyu.
Of course, he's supposed
to be there. Why wouldn't he be?
He just happened to catch my attention.
He has no friends.
Anyways, we're all tuned in
to see a match between Lim Dong-gyu
and Kang Doo-ki.
Hello to all the fans of the Dreams.
I'll be today's commentator.
I'm the housekeeper
of the operations team,
its future and its hopeful big shot.
My name is Han Jae-hee.
And to the left of me
I'm sure baseball fans all know him.
He was the Internet's
best baseball columnist, Robinson.
A member of our strategy analysis team,
Baek Young-soo, will be a commentator.
-Please introduce yourself.
-Yes. Hello.
Let's begin our telecast,
partial to the Dreams!
Let's begin!
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Strike.
Strike.
-Nice.
-Nice.
Yes, that is Kang Doo-ki.
To Kang, the rookie Lee Chang-kwon
is like a piece of bread.
The bread dipped in one strike,
two strikes, and three strikes
goes right into your mouth.
Strike.
Strike.
It's a one-two-three inning!
Let's see the fourth batter
during the second inning.
Goodbye!
Of course, he's a force
to be reckoned with.
It's Kang Doo-ki.
Kang Doo-ki is normally a slow starter.
But today, he's different.
From the get-go,
he's using incredible strength
to dominate the players of the Vikings.
That is correct. He retired three players!
KWAK HAN-YOUNG
He hit it!
Home run! It's a home run!
Kwak Han-young hits a home run!
This is great!
I wish this match were
the opening game. Aren't I right?
Great.
-Yes!
-Kwak Han-young!
VIKINGS 0 : DREAMS 3
Strike.
Strike.
Out.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
Onto the fourth batter.
Kang Doo-ki's pitches
are too difficult for Vikings players.
You can say that Kang Doo-ki
is giving the Vikings' batters
an early education.
The batters at the Vikings
should have prepared
lesson fees to give to Kang Doo-ki.
You didn't see Jang Jin-woo
during his peak, did you?
I did.
It was just for a year,
but he was really good.
Did you have to mention
that it was only for a year?
LIM DONG-GYU
It's Lim Dong-gyu now.
Lim Dong-gyu has the best record
out of all the batters in the Vikings.
But he's the fifth batter, not the fourth.
They're not showing him complete respect.
They don't consider him
a true Vikings player just yet.
-Hello, everyone.
-Hello.
-Mr. Baek.
-Hello, sir.
I'm all nervous myself.
I can only wonder how much they are.
Are you nervous? I'm not.
It's only a practice match.
Do you think those two are going to think
it's simply a practice match?
They're going to go at it
with everything they have.
It's always been that way
between Lim Dong-gyu and Kang Doo-ki.
Goodness.
Three fouls.
You can say that Lim Dong-gyu is
losing to Kang Doo-ki's strength, right?
No, that's not it.
Kang Doo-ki is sending
the same type of fastballs.
Lim Dong-gyu is cutting all the balls
until he receives one that he wants.
Then, you can say they're
putting their pride on the line, right?
Right.
-Strike.
-Nice.
Swing and a miss, strikeout!
I bet Lim Dong-gyu is shouting,
"Why was Kang Doo-ki born
when I came into this world?"
Why not a head-to-head contest?
I think Lim Dong-gyu thought
it would be a head-to-head contest
because it was the first match
after the trade.
But I'm sure Kang Doo-ki
was showing a firm determination
that he wouldn't put in more weight
because he was facing Lim Dong-gyu.
That was a good thing you pointed out.
-Great!
-That's the way to do it.
Out.
-Out. Yes!
-Okay.
Defense has gotten much more stable.
-Out.
-Nice!
My goodness.
The defense of the Dreams knows
where the ball is going to be.
They're making it look so easy.
Wouldn't it be because they've
trained so hard for this?
They're completely different
compared to last year.
You're right.
This proves that defense can
get better with earnest training.
VIKINGS 0 : DREAMS 3
Lim Dong-gyu is at bat for the third time.
We have to be careful here.
According to the records,
Lim Dong-gyu hits the most home runs
in his third at-bat.
And he hit the ball.
The ball keeps going!
Good.
It's a foul!
How would Lim Dong-gyu hit a home run
against Kang Doo-ki?
He's Kang Doo-ki, not kkakdugi.
-Come on.
-My heart almost dropped.
A high fastball.
Yes.
Seo Young Ju!
-Out.
-Nice!
We were worried about one thing
playing against the Vikings.
It was Lim Dong-gyu,
who hits great balls, but now,
he's got his hands tied
against Kang Doo-ki.
Did you see that?
Kang Doo-ki just struck out the batter
after he got a sign from the side.
Manager Yoon Sung-bok's plays
must be working today.
I love you, Manager Yoon!
-Yong-gu.
-Yes?
-Replace him with Yoo Min-ho.
-Pardon?
Yes.
Yoo Min-ho.
Yes.
Get ready.
Pardon?
Yes, coach.
YOO MIN-HO
We're in the top
of the eighth inning already.
It's Yoo Min-ho.
Yoo Min-ho is a rookie
with a lot of potential
who was drafted first.
Once he realizes his potential,
you could say we'll be seeing
a young Kang Doo-ki.
What? Why did you replace Kang Doo-ki?
Are we a joke to you?
Yoo Min-ho is stepping up.
-He's not yet
-Well,
the manager must have a plan.
Warm up a little more.
Manager.
-Min-ho isn't yet
-I know.
Jin-woo and Kwan-sik,
you go get warmed up too.
Okay.
Hey.
Jin-woo.
I heard you couldn't pitch
the ball to the center.
You don't have to play well this year.
I have to.
You and I both have a reason to play well.
But those who don't have a reason
are just good.
I don't think the reason isn't
important in terms of being good.
-Don't you agree?
-I'm going to play well
because I have a reason.
Your grandmother?
It's her, right?
Don't try to play too well.
Let's just be good enough.
You're exhausted because you try
to be too good.
THE VICTORY IS OURS.
Hey!
Don't be scared
and just pitch it, all right?
Just relax.
Well, I think Yoo Min-ho is
adjusting his aim to pitch
fastballs as much as he likes.
That's what I'd like to think.
Yong-gu.
Get Jin-woo ready.
Okay.
He's a bit strange.
-He's not strange.
-Come on.
He has no control of the ball.
Hey.
Good work.
You seem to be in bad condition,
so let's get some rest.
Yes.
Well,
I guess the pitcher will be replaced
with Kim Kwan-sik,
a gift from the Vikings
and our special reliever. What?
I guess not.
It seems that Jang Jin-woo will take
the plate, not Kim Kwan-sik.
Jang Jin-woo is also a special reliever.
-I think it's the right choice.
-Of course.
Our manager is like a fox on the field.
Is he?
Yes, he is.
Yoo Min-ho!
-Yes.
-Why are you lowering your head?
Hold your head up.
If we were in the middle of the season
Pardon?
Apart from winning and losing,
we must watch the game thinking
about what we should work on.
Right.
See what the Vikings should work on too.
Jeez. What?
Who do you want to trade
and benefit from it?
You should know what your opponent
is in desperate need of
to negotiate well in the future.
My gosh. Yes, you're right.
Who do you want to take from us now?
Stay on your toes during the season too.
Yes.
I'll rely on you
and do well.
Out!
-Out!
-Good!
-Out!
-Good defense.
Yes!
What? It was a ground ball.
If you miss, you hit a ground ball.
Jang Jin-woo didn't pitch that well.
Jang Jin-woo led your batters
to hit ground balls.
We could win at this pace.
Gosh.
What are you talking about?
There's the promised ninth inning left.
Did you forget the Dreams lost
to us 13 times
only to win three games?
The Dreams are like a tonic to our team.
VIKINGS 0 : DREAMS 3
-Nice!
-Nice!
Nice!
The game has ended!
It was a great game that proved
who will dominate the new season!
The Dreams have won
against the strong Vikings!
They have crushed them!
Good job, Jang Jin-woo!
Great job!
That's our Dreams!
Jang Jin-woo didn't allow
even a single hit at the end.
We'll end the commentary
for the first practice match here.
We'll come back again tomorrow
with the second match
between the new challengers, Dreams,
and Vikings, always in second place.
Dear fans of the Dreams,
please don't forget. We can do it.
We can win!
Let's go!
THE FIRST PRACTICE MATCH
BETWEEN THE VIKINGS AND THE DREAMS
Please donate!
How pathetic.
Mr. Baek, I'll tell our guys
to play hard tomorrow.
Let's do it for real tomorrow.
If the Vikings didn't do their best,
it would be too bad for someone
who really wanted to win.
What are you talking about?
Put things in an easier way.
Bye.
Gosh, you startled me.
What's wrong with him?
-What's with him?
-What's the matter?
-What's wrong with him?
-My gosh.
-He's overacting.
-How can you smile
after losing to the worst team, you punks?
I mean, they were the worst team
when you were with them,
and Kang Doo-ki was with us.
-But he's with them now.
-Don't be so fussy over one practice game.
What, you punk?
How many home runs have you hit?
Has anyone on this team
hit more home runs than I have?
Say it!
-Let's just go.
-Gosh.
Let's go.
Yes.
Yes, I pitched today.
I did well.
I didn't allow any hits.
Yes.
What did you eat today?
Why are you crying?
I asked you what you ate.
Why are you crying?
We won the match today,
so can't we drink some beer?
No, you can't.
-No?
-No, you can't.
You people are frustrating.
See me for a moment after dinner.
Okay.
Hi.
Why are you all here?
To have a talk with you.
Sit down.
Okay.
Shall we watch some videos?
YOO MIN-HO
This is when you joined our team.
You weren't in good condition then.
Do you still feel the pain
in the same part of your body?
You might be worried
it will happen again.
That may be why you're controlling
your muscles unconsciously.
Can you
turn this off?
No, it won't happen.
Your condition is way better now,
not to mention your pitching style.
Face your slump bravely.
You might be upset
to hear it's psychological,
but your body is perfectly fine.
Let's watch the next video.
You're capable of throwing a ball
like this, even now.
I doubt it.
Min-ho.
It's not that we want you
to be a starting pitcher.
Nor do we want you to be a relief pitcher.
We have Kang Doo-ki
and Gil Chang-ju on our team.
So you just have to learn and improve.
Right, you punk. You've been
on the field for only two years.
The coaches are worried about you.
Min-ho.
We don't want anything from you.
There's nothing in our plan
that we want you to do.
So just pull yourself together.
Are you happy
to have won with Kang Doo-ki?
It's not because we have him.
It's because we won.
Do you think
it makes sense that I'm playing
wearing a Vikings uniform?
I kept wondering.
"Why did Baek Seung-soo do it?"
You saw how Kang Doo-ki played today.
Hey.
I almost hit a home run back there.
I didn't bring the bat
I use against that punk.
I chose him
because of that slight difference.
I believe that slight difference
will make a big difference.
Bullshit.
You really should keep your manners
if you want to make friends
in the Vikings.
Baseball isn't about making friends.
I just need to be good at it.
So why didn't you just play baseball?
Sorry. I wasn't trying to make a threat.
But
why is it so important for you
to stay on the Dreams?
If you are with them,
you might be able to win the league.
You're asking me that question
because you aren't a player.
You think players only care about
money or victory.
Is there another reason?
To you, I'm just
a bad egg.
Having a man who slipped
a $1,000 bill into my hand
ever since I was in middle school.
A woman who waves her hand at me
every time she sees me
while selling dried filefish.
My fight song.
A drunken man who calls my name
as he shakes the fence.
To me
this is more important.
Do you get it?
But all you care about is winning,
you jerk.
Did Lim Dong-gyu do any harm to you?
What's this?
He did give me a blow.
Where?
-Let's go inside.
-Don't you have to go see a doctor?
No, I'll go later.
Oh, right.
Who is the starting pitcher tomorrow?
You talked with the manager earlier today.
It's Gil Chang-ju.
I had nothing to worry about
with Kang Doo-ki.
I'm sure Gil Chang-ju
will also do well.
Strike.
Strike.
It's like they have two Kang Doo-kis.
Strike.
ROBERT GIL
That's it.
That's it. Lim Dong-gyu.
He manages a hit even when
the ball count is unfavorable to him.
-Lim Dong-gyu is incredible.
-That doesn't make a difference.
The Dreams are leading
today as well 2 to 0.
I think the Vikings are going to be
the Dreams' nutritious snack this season.
Switch pitchers.
-Yoo Min-ho, head out.
-Again?
Yoo Min-ho!
Yes.
ROBERT GIL
YOO MIN-HO
As soon as he takes the mound,
Yoo Min-ho gives two runners
a base on balls.
At this moment,
Lim Dong-gyu enters the field.
Yes.
Hey!
Wait, is it time to switch players?
If Jang Jin-woo, who played
well yesterday, comes out,
the Vikings will be helpless again.
Starting now, I'm giving you two missions.
Strike Lim Dong-gyu out.
How can I?
If you can't
That's it, a home run!
Strike Lim Dong-gyu out.
If you can't, give Lim Dong-gyu
a home run.
Excuse me?
It's a turnaround.
Lim Dong-gyu's miraculous home run
-Why are you smiling?
-Excuse me?
They just got a home run against us.
-I know.
-You know?
You do
Tell him to continue.
Yes.
Yoo Min-ho, keep it up!
I hate that he's on the opposing team.
It's great that he's on our team!
It sounds good!
Home run!
Lim Dong-gyu!
Why are you smiling? How can you?
It's been a while
since Yoo Min-ho's pitch was hit.
They will continue to get hit.
Don't get scared. Just relax and throw!
Just trust me!
VIKINGS 4 : DREAMS 2
Great job!
So I guess it's a tie, one to one.
The Dreams!
-You guys have gotten strong!
-Yes, it's all thanks to you.
Let's get to the postseason this year.
-I'll get going.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
So Yoo Min-ho overcame his yips, right?
Ms. Lee.
His balls got hit that much.
How can you call that
overcoming something?
His balls can get hit
because he can throw a strike.
Huh?
And he has to be able to throw a strike
to strike someone out.
Rather than resulting in a base on balls
unable to face the opponent head-to-head,
our defense can block it,
so it's better for him to throw
a strike and give up a hit.
What?
Yoo Min-ho has taken a step forward.
The same goes for the Dreams.
Let's go.
Yes.
Let's go.
Yoo Min-ho.
Now you can throw to the center as well.
Do you hear me?
Just do as you did today.
You only need to do that.
Thank you.
Min-ho.
Great job today.
Players, let's all enjoy a can of beer.
Beer!
Here.
Don't drink too much.
Thank you.
-Thanks.
-Let's have a drink.
If we do win the league
even by a small margin
it will be all thanks
to the off-season training you did here.
If you lose by a small margin,
it will be my fault for bringing you to
a place like this for off-season training.
You did everything you came to do
and the off-season training is over.
Great job.
All right.
Great job!
Great job!
-Great job!
-Great job!
-Great job!
-Great job!
Nice!
Dreams!
-Dreams!
-Dreams!
INCOMING CALL
Seung-soo.
Yes, Heung-man.
Well, about Lim Dong-gyu
I'm in the car with the speakerphone on.
Can we meet at a cafe later?
-Okay, then.
-Okay.
What about Lim Dong-gyu?
It's nothing.
You're keeping it to yourself again.
When will we ever get close to you?
Please understand.
I thought we were approved
as your colleagues.
Were you just talking to yourself
or speaking in non-honorific to Mr. Baek?
Do you want to be hit or be beaten up?
I just want to get there quietly.
These guys are no joke.
This is the list of the sellers.
And this is the list of the buyers.
The buyers are not confirmed, though.
LIST OF ATHLETES WITH DRUG USE, BUYERS
These are the ones that I've heard of.
-Can I talk to them?
-I'm afraid that'll be dangerous.
-Even if you came along?
-Yes.
Mr. Byun.
About the press release
of our off-season training,
-show them to me before you release it.
-Yes, I've finished it.
Have you?
We went south for the off-season training,
and I weaved it with the practice
games against the Vikings.
"The Vikings go to Jeju Island,
and the Dreams go to the south.
It's a new sensation
of off-season training."
And I wrote about how
both we and the Vikings won
one practice game each,
so the result wasn't so bad.
I thought it'd be better to emphasize
the content of the practice game too.
Yes, it looks good.
-Thank you for your work.
-Thank you.
Mr. Baek.
Yes.
When you quit for a short time,
I'd like to apologize
for releasing the article right away.
It was difficult for me to disobey
orders from management.
I'm aware of what type of people they are.
Right. Ms. Lim.
I saw the list of the ceremonial
first pitchers, and it's strange.
Why are there so many local authorities?
There's an association president,
a hospital director, and the like.
It's just as you think.
The president
Has he been doing it this way every year?
Well, I tried
liaising with celebrities, but it
got canceled and I was reprimanded.
You can call those celebrities
and repay the debt.
Pardon?
You obviously know who the audience wants.
Please add the names of the fans
or the local people
with a special history.
Yes
Isn't this getting out of hand?
GENERAL MANAGER BAEK SEUNG-SOO
Baek Seung-soo!
You crazy freak.
Do you think you're the only one
who lives in this world?
Baek Seung-soo.
Do you think we're in Seoul?
They've all worked hard
in this local community.
We give them a chance to relieve
their stress with baseball,
get to know each other,
and be on good terms.
We could ask them a favor if we need to.
Right?
Are you listening?
-Who do you think should be enjoying that?
-What do you mean?
A president of an association,
a director of some hospital
They come out to do
the ceremonial first pitch,
post pictures of it saying
it was a good experience,
and they never come back
to see a baseball game again.
They don't share a bond with the people
who come to the stadium every day.
The spectators would like to see
a celebrity or a fan with a story
much more than these people.
It's for when the franchise
might need help.
What kind of help do you get?
What do you need help with if you
deal with things with due process?
Hey, you
Why do you always handle things
so squarely?
-Then how should I handle them?
-There are times
when you need to deal with things
in a nasty way.
How would people work around you
when they're so afraid that
you'll find a fault in them?
That's why you're getting fired!
I'm not fired yet.
I'd never do something to shame myself.
You won't even be there
for the ceremonial first pitch.
-Why are you meddling in this matter?
-Then should I work half-heartedly
just because it'll happen
when I'm not here?
Then what about the politicians?
They don't know
whether they'll be re-elected or not.
-Should they take a break?
-Stop picking apart my words.
There's no room
for reconsideration on this.
It's not something you should meddle in
either. Don't ever do this again.
I won't let it go next time.
Ms. Lee.
What?
Where's Ms. Lim?
She was in her seat just now.
Really?
I told you, didn't I?
Yes.
I have to go.
Where were you?
I went for some coffee.
Please show a diligent attitude.
And if you think some orders seem unfair,
including mine,
for once in your life,
try resisting.
That's how our team became rotten
little by little.
I see.
I ruined this team.
Was it because of me
that this team has been
at the bottom for four years?
The Dreams have become united
after the off-season training.
At least that's what I thought.
He's not a person to care about that.
Do you want to have dinner
with Mr. Baek tonight?
No.
Then I guess it'll have to be
just me and him.
I'll come with you then.
What's the matter?
I don't know.
Yes.
Oh, hey.
What brings you here without notice?
Have a seat.
No, you can sit here.
Pardon?
You must have been very busy lately.
What happened
with the personnel appointments?
President Ko.
When I was
first coming back and forth
as the acting owner of this club
Yes.
I'm way younger than you, right?
Yes.
Then, why did you treat me so well
at first?
Did I?
I just thought
I could learn a lot from you.
When I first took up
the job as the acting owner,
I was acting up
with the free agents thinking
this team could be something.
We spent quite a lot of money at the time.
You've shown your will.
You should do that when you're young.
Every time the head office called
at the time,
you covered for me, didn't you?
Gosh.
You must have had a hard time.
I know
I shouldn't be doing this.
You can tell me everything.
I started my career earlier than you.
Am I right?
I've gotten a complaint
about the list of guest throwers
for this season.
Oh, that?
Mr. Baek acted like he was going
to keep being a general manager forever,
-so I gave him a scolding.
-They brought up the issue
so I've gone over
the lists of guest throwers
for the past two years.
There were a lot of problems.
Why on earth did you invite
heads of local organizations?
Sir.
This problem isn't about direction.
What are you doing?
What are you doing right now?
Focus on the baseball team.
I can't let just anyone take care of it.
I know what I did to Kyung-jun
was wrong, but
What are you talking about?
I commended you for it.
Use me according to my competence.
I know I can do a good job.
Do you think it's simple
liquidating a business
that makes seven billion won
worth of deficit every year?
If you can't deal with this,
why must I keep you being criticized
that our company is nepotistic?
Where is that same guy who went down
on his knees for his college tuitions?
Do you want to go back to the bottom pit
by your father's side?
You got ousted.
Is it because you beat Kwon Kyung-jun up?
I'll give you enough pension.
Why would you beat
around the bush in front of me?
You could just say
things happened that way.
I should've married
my daughter off sooner.
I'm sorry.
GOPCHANG STORY
We're still so cautious
while getting closer to each other
even after some time.
Right?
What?
Shut what?
Shut your mouth, you punk.
Shut my mouth?
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
Hold on.
You can eat now.
-Do you have something to tell me?
-Gosh, it's hot. Wait a second.
I'll speak after I swallow this.
Everyone in the company went through a lot
to bring you back to the office.
And?
But you didn't even come
to the get-together.
So some people might be
a little upset about it.
I think that came to my mind once.
You want me to be more friendly.
Is that what you want to say?
Yes.
Starting with us.
Ms. Lim deserves to be respected.
As far as I know, Ms. Lim is often late,
leaves work early, and enjoys gossip.
Is there something I'm not aware of?
-She's Lim Dong-gyu's older sister.
-His sister?
No, not exactly.
It's more like an honorable nickname.
You may not like
the way she is right now,
but there were times
when the franchise made profits
worth two billion won through marketing.
Oh, really?
It's hard to believe for me too,
but it's true.
Even the president doesn't
complain much to her.
When Ms. Lim worked enthusiastically,
people joked about how they could pay
for Lim Dong-gyu's salary thanks to her.
Ground painting, exciting zone,
LED ads.
She came up with all these ideas.
It's true that she's competent.
Right.
In fact, all the team leaders
are not incompetent.
They may not be as competent as you are
but they did make attempts for a change.
I want you to know that.
I'm an annoying jerk
who doesn't recognize others easily.
Right, I'm aware of it.
But that doesn't mean
I'm itching to fight.
What we need right now is motivation.
I want our front office
to forget about the past
and be constructive as soon as possible.
What I want
is just that.
This way. Follow me.
JAESONG
What?
We're from the investigation team.
Are you Mr. Byun Chi-hoon?
Yes, that's me.
-We need to talk to you.
-What?
Hold on.
What are you doing?
-Why are you taking that?
-What are you doing?
Leave it be!
What are you doing?
What is this?
From now on,
we'll start inspecting Mr. Byun,
considering him as a thief
who caused harm to the company.
What?
-Let's go.
-What
-Mr. Byun.
-Wait.
What did I do wrong?
What's wrong with you?
Stop!
What are you doing?
Mr. Baek.
We're from the headquarters.
Move aside.
-Goodness. Wait.
-Mr. Byun.
Mr. Baek.
Mr. Byun.
What did I do wrong?
Follow us already.
You need to tell me.
What is going on?
Tell me!
You're here, Mr. Baek.
Where is the president?
Thanks to you
CEO KWON KYUNG-MIN
he went home.
What are you doing?
Go make some coffee.
Make it delicious, but not too sweet.
I said, what are you doing?
What if there are players who took drugs?
Would you cover it up?
Do you mean by Kang Doo-ki?
What do you want?
It's the list of the Vikings players
suspected of using drugs.
Lim Dong-gyu's skills are from doping.
Kang Doo-ki. Do you completely trust him?
I also hope what I've found isn't right.
There aren't any except for Lim Dong-gyu.
You know it. It's my fault.
Let me say something
which will be hard for you to understand.
THIS DRAMA IS FICTION
AND THE ELEMENTS OF THE STORY
HAVE NO RELATION TO REALITY.
How do the players throw in this weather?
They're incredible.
I wouldn't be able to if it were me.
It's the general manager.
Even the rumors going around.
-That's right.
-Okay.
The two of you are close.
-I'm taking care of him right now.
-No, we're taking care of each other.
What did Lim Dong-gyu whisper in your ear?
He just called me out.
-He called you out?
-What for?
He said,
"You're doomed, you crazy little scumbag."
I understand.
I think I understand completely.
Lim Dong-gyu is very hot-blooded.
I'm sure we're going
to win tomorrow, right?
Whether we win or lose, I hope
we find a way to become a strong team.
I'm sure we'll win
when Kang Doo-ki is playing.
Yes, we've done well so far.
Have we done well?
Of course.
We now have Kang Doo-ki,
Gil Chang-ju, and Kim Kwan-sik.
We can only know that we did well
if the players do well.
We can't assume that
we did well just by ourselves.
-That's the job that we're doing.
-Yes.
That is the job that we're doing.
Yes, it's cold. Let's go.
I'm bored. Let's strike out Lim Dong-gyu.
Yes.
All right.
All right, everyone!
Everyone, have some ginseng
before you train.
Here you go, Kang Tae-min.
Our nice guy.
You can do it, Yoo Min-ho.
-Thank you.
-Here's one for our coach.
-Thank you.
-You can do it.
You can do it, Kang Doo-ki.
-Thank you.
-Let's pulverize the Vikings!
Let's do this!
-Hello, Mr. Baek.
-Hi.
-Have you eaten?
-Yes.
Gosh.
There we have Lim Dong-gyu.
Of course, he's supposed
to be there. Why wouldn't he be?
He just happened to catch my attention.
He has no friends.
Anyways, we're all tuned in
to see a match between Lim Dong-gyu
and Kang Doo-ki.
Hello to all the fans of the Dreams.
I'll be today's commentator.
I'm the housekeeper
of the operations team,
its future and its hopeful big shot.
My name is Han Jae-hee.
And to the left of me
I'm sure baseball fans all know him.
He was the Internet's
best baseball columnist, Robinson.
A member of our strategy analysis team,
Baek Young-soo, will be a commentator.
-Please introduce yourself.
-Yes. Hello.
Let's begin our telecast,
partial to the Dreams!
Let's begin!
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Strike.
Strike.
-Nice.
-Nice.
Yes, that is Kang Doo-ki.
To Kang, the rookie Lee Chang-kwon
is like a piece of bread.
The bread dipped in one strike,
two strikes, and three strikes
goes right into your mouth.
Strike.
Strike.
It's a one-two-three inning!
Let's see the fourth batter
during the second inning.
Goodbye!
Of course, he's a force
to be reckoned with.
It's Kang Doo-ki.
Kang Doo-ki is normally a slow starter.
But today, he's different.
From the get-go,
he's using incredible strength
to dominate the players of the Vikings.
That is correct. He retired three players!
KWAK HAN-YOUNG
He hit it!
Home run! It's a home run!
Kwak Han-young hits a home run!
This is great!
I wish this match were
the opening game. Aren't I right?
Great.
-Yes!
-Kwak Han-young!
VIKINGS 0 : DREAMS 3
Strike.
Strike.
Out.
Swing and a miss, strikeout.
Onto the fourth batter.
Kang Doo-ki's pitches
are too difficult for Vikings players.
You can say that Kang Doo-ki
is giving the Vikings' batters
an early education.
The batters at the Vikings
should have prepared
lesson fees to give to Kang Doo-ki.
You didn't see Jang Jin-woo
during his peak, did you?
I did.
It was just for a year,
but he was really good.
Did you have to mention
that it was only for a year?
LIM DONG-GYU
It's Lim Dong-gyu now.
Lim Dong-gyu has the best record
out of all the batters in the Vikings.
But he's the fifth batter, not the fourth.
They're not showing him complete respect.
They don't consider him
a true Vikings player just yet.
-Hello, everyone.
-Hello.
-Mr. Baek.
-Hello, sir.
I'm all nervous myself.
I can only wonder how much they are.
Are you nervous? I'm not.
It's only a practice match.
Do you think those two are going to think
it's simply a practice match?
They're going to go at it
with everything they have.
It's always been that way
between Lim Dong-gyu and Kang Doo-ki.
Goodness.
Three fouls.
You can say that Lim Dong-gyu is
losing to Kang Doo-ki's strength, right?
No, that's not it.
Kang Doo-ki is sending
the same type of fastballs.
Lim Dong-gyu is cutting all the balls
until he receives one that he wants.
Then, you can say they're
putting their pride on the line, right?
Right.
-Strike.
-Nice.
Swing and a miss, strikeout!
I bet Lim Dong-gyu is shouting,
"Why was Kang Doo-ki born
when I came into this world?"
Why not a head-to-head contest?
I think Lim Dong-gyu thought
it would be a head-to-head contest
because it was the first match
after the trade.
But I'm sure Kang Doo-ki
was showing a firm determination
that he wouldn't put in more weight
because he was facing Lim Dong-gyu.
That was a good thing you pointed out.
-Great!
-That's the way to do it.
Out.
-Out. Yes!
-Okay.
Defense has gotten much more stable.
-Out.
-Nice!
My goodness.
The defense of the Dreams knows
where the ball is going to be.
They're making it look so easy.
Wouldn't it be because they've
trained so hard for this?
They're completely different
compared to last year.
You're right.
This proves that defense can
get better with earnest training.
VIKINGS 0 : DREAMS 3
Lim Dong-gyu is at bat for the third time.
We have to be careful here.
According to the records,
Lim Dong-gyu hits the most home runs
in his third at-bat.
And he hit the ball.
The ball keeps going!
Good.
It's a foul!
How would Lim Dong-gyu hit a home run
against Kang Doo-ki?
He's Kang Doo-ki, not kkakdugi.
-Come on.
-My heart almost dropped.
A high fastball.
Yes.
Seo Young Ju!
-Out.
-Nice!
We were worried about one thing
playing against the Vikings.
It was Lim Dong-gyu,
who hits great balls, but now,
he's got his hands tied
against Kang Doo-ki.
Did you see that?
Kang Doo-ki just struck out the batter
after he got a sign from the side.
Manager Yoon Sung-bok's plays
must be working today.
I love you, Manager Yoon!
-Yong-gu.
-Yes?
-Replace him with Yoo Min-ho.
-Pardon?
Yes.
Yoo Min-ho.
Yes.
Get ready.
Pardon?
Yes, coach.
YOO MIN-HO
We're in the top
of the eighth inning already.
It's Yoo Min-ho.
Yoo Min-ho is a rookie
with a lot of potential
who was drafted first.
Once he realizes his potential,
you could say we'll be seeing
a young Kang Doo-ki.
What? Why did you replace Kang Doo-ki?
Are we a joke to you?
Yoo Min-ho is stepping up.
-He's not yet
-Well,
the manager must have a plan.
Warm up a little more.
Manager.
-Min-ho isn't yet
-I know.
Jin-woo and Kwan-sik,
you go get warmed up too.
Okay.
Hey.
Jin-woo.
I heard you couldn't pitch
the ball to the center.
You don't have to play well this year.
I have to.
You and I both have a reason to play well.
But those who don't have a reason
are just good.
I don't think the reason isn't
important in terms of being good.
-Don't you agree?
-I'm going to play well
because I have a reason.
Your grandmother?
It's her, right?
Don't try to play too well.
Let's just be good enough.
You're exhausted because you try
to be too good.
THE VICTORY IS OURS.
Hey!
Don't be scared
and just pitch it, all right?
Just relax.
Well, I think Yoo Min-ho is
adjusting his aim to pitch
fastballs as much as he likes.
That's what I'd like to think.
Yong-gu.
Get Jin-woo ready.
Okay.
He's a bit strange.
-He's not strange.
-Come on.
He has no control of the ball.
Hey.
Good work.
You seem to be in bad condition,
so let's get some rest.
Yes.
Well,
I guess the pitcher will be replaced
with Kim Kwan-sik,
a gift from the Vikings
and our special reliever. What?
I guess not.
It seems that Jang Jin-woo will take
the plate, not Kim Kwan-sik.
Jang Jin-woo is also a special reliever.
-I think it's the right choice.
-Of course.
Our manager is like a fox on the field.
Is he?
Yes, he is.
Yoo Min-ho!
-Yes.
-Why are you lowering your head?
Hold your head up.
If we were in the middle of the season
Pardon?
Apart from winning and losing,
we must watch the game thinking
about what we should work on.
Right.
See what the Vikings should work on too.
Jeez. What?
Who do you want to trade
and benefit from it?
You should know what your opponent
is in desperate need of
to negotiate well in the future.
My gosh. Yes, you're right.
Who do you want to take from us now?
Stay on your toes during the season too.
Yes.
I'll rely on you
and do well.
Out!
-Out!
-Good!
-Out!
-Good defense.
Yes!
What? It was a ground ball.
If you miss, you hit a ground ball.
Jang Jin-woo didn't pitch that well.
Jang Jin-woo led your batters
to hit ground balls.
We could win at this pace.
Gosh.
What are you talking about?
There's the promised ninth inning left.
Did you forget the Dreams lost
to us 13 times
only to win three games?
The Dreams are like a tonic to our team.
VIKINGS 0 : DREAMS 3
-Nice!
-Nice!
Nice!
The game has ended!
It was a great game that proved
who will dominate the new season!
The Dreams have won
against the strong Vikings!
They have crushed them!
Good job, Jang Jin-woo!
Great job!
That's our Dreams!
Jang Jin-woo didn't allow
even a single hit at the end.
We'll end the commentary
for the first practice match here.
We'll come back again tomorrow
with the second match
between the new challengers, Dreams,
and Vikings, always in second place.
Dear fans of the Dreams,
please don't forget. We can do it.
We can win!
Let's go!
THE FIRST PRACTICE MATCH
BETWEEN THE VIKINGS AND THE DREAMS
Please donate!
How pathetic.
Mr. Baek, I'll tell our guys
to play hard tomorrow.
Let's do it for real tomorrow.
If the Vikings didn't do their best,
it would be too bad for someone
who really wanted to win.
What are you talking about?
Put things in an easier way.
Bye.
Gosh, you startled me.
What's wrong with him?
-What's with him?
-What's the matter?
-What's wrong with him?
-My gosh.
-He's overacting.
-How can you smile
after losing to the worst team, you punks?
I mean, they were the worst team
when you were with them,
and Kang Doo-ki was with us.
-But he's with them now.
-Don't be so fussy over one practice game.
What, you punk?
How many home runs have you hit?
Has anyone on this team
hit more home runs than I have?
Say it!
-Let's just go.
-Gosh.
Let's go.
Yes.
Yes, I pitched today.
I did well.
I didn't allow any hits.
Yes.
What did you eat today?
Why are you crying?
I asked you what you ate.
Why are you crying?
We won the match today,
so can't we drink some beer?
No, you can't.
-No?
-No, you can't.
You people are frustrating.
See me for a moment after dinner.
Okay.
Hi.
Why are you all here?
To have a talk with you.
Sit down.
Okay.
Shall we watch some videos?
YOO MIN-HO
This is when you joined our team.
You weren't in good condition then.
Do you still feel the pain
in the same part of your body?
You might be worried
it will happen again.
That may be why you're controlling
your muscles unconsciously.
Can you
turn this off?
No, it won't happen.
Your condition is way better now,
not to mention your pitching style.
Face your slump bravely.
You might be upset
to hear it's psychological,
but your body is perfectly fine.
Let's watch the next video.
You're capable of throwing a ball
like this, even now.
I doubt it.
Min-ho.
It's not that we want you
to be a starting pitcher.
Nor do we want you to be a relief pitcher.
We have Kang Doo-ki
and Gil Chang-ju on our team.
So you just have to learn and improve.
Right, you punk. You've been
on the field for only two years.
The coaches are worried about you.
Min-ho.
We don't want anything from you.
There's nothing in our plan
that we want you to do.
So just pull yourself together.
Are you happy
to have won with Kang Doo-ki?
It's not because we have him.
It's because we won.
Do you think
it makes sense that I'm playing
wearing a Vikings uniform?
I kept wondering.
"Why did Baek Seung-soo do it?"
You saw how Kang Doo-ki played today.
Hey.
I almost hit a home run back there.
I didn't bring the bat
I use against that punk.
I chose him
because of that slight difference.
I believe that slight difference
will make a big difference.
Bullshit.
You really should keep your manners
if you want to make friends
in the Vikings.
Baseball isn't about making friends.
I just need to be good at it.
So why didn't you just play baseball?
Sorry. I wasn't trying to make a threat.
But
why is it so important for you
to stay on the Dreams?
If you are with them,
you might be able to win the league.
You're asking me that question
because you aren't a player.
You think players only care about
money or victory.
Is there another reason?
To you, I'm just
a bad egg.
Having a man who slipped
a $1,000 bill into my hand
ever since I was in middle school.
A woman who waves her hand at me
every time she sees me
while selling dried filefish.
My fight song.
A drunken man who calls my name
as he shakes the fence.
To me
this is more important.
Do you get it?
But all you care about is winning,
you jerk.
Did Lim Dong-gyu do any harm to you?
What's this?
He did give me a blow.
Where?
-Let's go inside.
-Don't you have to go see a doctor?
No, I'll go later.
Oh, right.
Who is the starting pitcher tomorrow?
You talked with the manager earlier today.
It's Gil Chang-ju.
I had nothing to worry about
with Kang Doo-ki.
I'm sure Gil Chang-ju
will also do well.
Strike.
Strike.
It's like they have two Kang Doo-kis.
Strike.
ROBERT GIL
That's it.
That's it. Lim Dong-gyu.
He manages a hit even when
the ball count is unfavorable to him.
-Lim Dong-gyu is incredible.
-That doesn't make a difference.
The Dreams are leading
today as well 2 to 0.
I think the Vikings are going to be
the Dreams' nutritious snack this season.
Switch pitchers.
-Yoo Min-ho, head out.
-Again?
Yoo Min-ho!
Yes.
ROBERT GIL
YOO MIN-HO
As soon as he takes the mound,
Yoo Min-ho gives two runners
a base on balls.
At this moment,
Lim Dong-gyu enters the field.
Yes.
Hey!
Wait, is it time to switch players?
If Jang Jin-woo, who played
well yesterday, comes out,
the Vikings will be helpless again.
Starting now, I'm giving you two missions.
Strike Lim Dong-gyu out.
How can I?
If you can't
That's it, a home run!
Strike Lim Dong-gyu out.
If you can't, give Lim Dong-gyu
a home run.
Excuse me?
It's a turnaround.
Lim Dong-gyu's miraculous home run
-Why are you smiling?
-Excuse me?
They just got a home run against us.
-I know.
-You know?
You do
Tell him to continue.
Yes.
Yoo Min-ho, keep it up!
I hate that he's on the opposing team.
It's great that he's on our team!
It sounds good!
Home run!
Lim Dong-gyu!
Why are you smiling? How can you?
It's been a while
since Yoo Min-ho's pitch was hit.
They will continue to get hit.
Don't get scared. Just relax and throw!
Just trust me!
VIKINGS 4 : DREAMS 2
Great job!
So I guess it's a tie, one to one.
The Dreams!
-You guys have gotten strong!
-Yes, it's all thanks to you.
Let's get to the postseason this year.
-I'll get going.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
So Yoo Min-ho overcame his yips, right?
Ms. Lee.
His balls got hit that much.
How can you call that
overcoming something?
His balls can get hit
because he can throw a strike.
Huh?
And he has to be able to throw a strike
to strike someone out.
Rather than resulting in a base on balls
unable to face the opponent head-to-head,
our defense can block it,
so it's better for him to throw
a strike and give up a hit.
What?
Yoo Min-ho has taken a step forward.
The same goes for the Dreams.
Let's go.
Yes.
Let's go.
Yoo Min-ho.
Now you can throw to the center as well.
Do you hear me?
Just do as you did today.
You only need to do that.
Thank you.
Min-ho.
Great job today.
Players, let's all enjoy a can of beer.
Beer!
Here.
Don't drink too much.
Thank you.
-Thanks.
-Let's have a drink.
If we do win the league
even by a small margin
it will be all thanks
to the off-season training you did here.
If you lose by a small margin,
it will be my fault for bringing you to
a place like this for off-season training.
You did everything you came to do
and the off-season training is over.
Great job.
All right.
Great job!
Great job!
-Great job!
-Great job!
-Great job!
-Great job!
Nice!
Dreams!
-Dreams!
-Dreams!
INCOMING CALL
Seung-soo.
Yes, Heung-man.
Well, about Lim Dong-gyu
I'm in the car with the speakerphone on.
Can we meet at a cafe later?
-Okay, then.
-Okay.
What about Lim Dong-gyu?
It's nothing.
You're keeping it to yourself again.
When will we ever get close to you?
Please understand.
I thought we were approved
as your colleagues.
Were you just talking to yourself
or speaking in non-honorific to Mr. Baek?
Do you want to be hit or be beaten up?
I just want to get there quietly.
These guys are no joke.
This is the list of the sellers.
And this is the list of the buyers.
The buyers are not confirmed, though.
LIST OF ATHLETES WITH DRUG USE, BUYERS
These are the ones that I've heard of.
-Can I talk to them?
-I'm afraid that'll be dangerous.
-Even if you came along?
-Yes.
Mr. Byun.
About the press release
of our off-season training,
-show them to me before you release it.
-Yes, I've finished it.
Have you?
We went south for the off-season training,
and I weaved it with the practice
games against the Vikings.
"The Vikings go to Jeju Island,
and the Dreams go to the south.
It's a new sensation
of off-season training."
And I wrote about how
both we and the Vikings won
one practice game each,
so the result wasn't so bad.
I thought it'd be better to emphasize
the content of the practice game too.
Yes, it looks good.
-Thank you for your work.
-Thank you.
Mr. Baek.
Yes.
When you quit for a short time,
I'd like to apologize
for releasing the article right away.
It was difficult for me to disobey
orders from management.
I'm aware of what type of people they are.
Right. Ms. Lim.
I saw the list of the ceremonial
first pitchers, and it's strange.
Why are there so many local authorities?
There's an association president,
a hospital director, and the like.
It's just as you think.
The president
Has he been doing it this way every year?
Well, I tried
liaising with celebrities, but it
got canceled and I was reprimanded.
You can call those celebrities
and repay the debt.
Pardon?
You obviously know who the audience wants.
Please add the names of the fans
or the local people
with a special history.
Yes
Isn't this getting out of hand?
GENERAL MANAGER BAEK SEUNG-SOO
Baek Seung-soo!
You crazy freak.
Do you think you're the only one
who lives in this world?
Baek Seung-soo.
Do you think we're in Seoul?
They've all worked hard
in this local community.
We give them a chance to relieve
their stress with baseball,
get to know each other,
and be on good terms.
We could ask them a favor if we need to.
Right?
Are you listening?
-Who do you think should be enjoying that?
-What do you mean?
A president of an association,
a director of some hospital
They come out to do
the ceremonial first pitch,
post pictures of it saying
it was a good experience,
and they never come back
to see a baseball game again.
They don't share a bond with the people
who come to the stadium every day.
The spectators would like to see
a celebrity or a fan with a story
much more than these people.
It's for when the franchise
might need help.
What kind of help do you get?
What do you need help with if you
deal with things with due process?
Hey, you
Why do you always handle things
so squarely?
-Then how should I handle them?
-There are times
when you need to deal with things
in a nasty way.
How would people work around you
when they're so afraid that
you'll find a fault in them?
That's why you're getting fired!
I'm not fired yet.
I'd never do something to shame myself.
You won't even be there
for the ceremonial first pitch.
-Why are you meddling in this matter?
-Then should I work half-heartedly
just because it'll happen
when I'm not here?
Then what about the politicians?
They don't know
whether they'll be re-elected or not.
-Should they take a break?
-Stop picking apart my words.
There's no room
for reconsideration on this.
It's not something you should meddle in
either. Don't ever do this again.
I won't let it go next time.
Ms. Lee.
What?
Where's Ms. Lim?
She was in her seat just now.
Really?
I told you, didn't I?
Yes.
I have to go.
Where were you?
I went for some coffee.
Please show a diligent attitude.
And if you think some orders seem unfair,
including mine,
for once in your life,
try resisting.
That's how our team became rotten
little by little.
I see.
I ruined this team.
Was it because of me
that this team has been
at the bottom for four years?
The Dreams have become united
after the off-season training.
At least that's what I thought.
He's not a person to care about that.
Do you want to have dinner
with Mr. Baek tonight?
No.
Then I guess it'll have to be
just me and him.
I'll come with you then.
What's the matter?
I don't know.
Yes.
Oh, hey.
What brings you here without notice?
Have a seat.
No, you can sit here.
Pardon?
You must have been very busy lately.
What happened
with the personnel appointments?
President Ko.
When I was
first coming back and forth
as the acting owner of this club
Yes.
I'm way younger than you, right?
Yes.
Then, why did you treat me so well
at first?
Did I?
I just thought
I could learn a lot from you.
When I first took up
the job as the acting owner,
I was acting up
with the free agents thinking
this team could be something.
We spent quite a lot of money at the time.
You've shown your will.
You should do that when you're young.
Every time the head office called
at the time,
you covered for me, didn't you?
Gosh.
You must have had a hard time.
I know
I shouldn't be doing this.
You can tell me everything.
I started my career earlier than you.
Am I right?
I've gotten a complaint
about the list of guest throwers
for this season.
Oh, that?
Mr. Baek acted like he was going
to keep being a general manager forever,
-so I gave him a scolding.
-They brought up the issue
so I've gone over
the lists of guest throwers
for the past two years.
There were a lot of problems.
Why on earth did you invite
heads of local organizations?
Sir.
This problem isn't about direction.
What are you doing?
What are you doing right now?
Focus on the baseball team.
I can't let just anyone take care of it.
I know what I did to Kyung-jun
was wrong, but
What are you talking about?
I commended you for it.
Use me according to my competence.
I know I can do a good job.
Do you think it's simple
liquidating a business
that makes seven billion won
worth of deficit every year?
If you can't deal with this,
why must I keep you being criticized
that our company is nepotistic?
Where is that same guy who went down
on his knees for his college tuitions?
Do you want to go back to the bottom pit
by your father's side?
You got ousted.
Is it because you beat Kwon Kyung-jun up?
I'll give you enough pension.
Why would you beat
around the bush in front of me?
You could just say
things happened that way.
I should've married
my daughter off sooner.
I'm sorry.
GOPCHANG STORY
We're still so cautious
while getting closer to each other
even after some time.
Right?
What?
Shut what?
Shut your mouth, you punk.
Shut my mouth?
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
Hold on.
You can eat now.
-Do you have something to tell me?
-Gosh, it's hot. Wait a second.
I'll speak after I swallow this.
Everyone in the company went through a lot
to bring you back to the office.
And?
But you didn't even come
to the get-together.
So some people might be
a little upset about it.
I think that came to my mind once.
You want me to be more friendly.
Is that what you want to say?
Yes.
Starting with us.
Ms. Lim deserves to be respected.
As far as I know, Ms. Lim is often late,
leaves work early, and enjoys gossip.
Is there something I'm not aware of?
-She's Lim Dong-gyu's older sister.
-His sister?
No, not exactly.
It's more like an honorable nickname.
You may not like
the way she is right now,
but there were times
when the franchise made profits
worth two billion won through marketing.
Oh, really?
It's hard to believe for me too,
but it's true.
Even the president doesn't
complain much to her.
When Ms. Lim worked enthusiastically,
people joked about how they could pay
for Lim Dong-gyu's salary thanks to her.
Ground painting, exciting zone,
LED ads.
She came up with all these ideas.
It's true that she's competent.
Right.
In fact, all the team leaders
are not incompetent.
They may not be as competent as you are
but they did make attempts for a change.
I want you to know that.
I'm an annoying jerk
who doesn't recognize others easily.
Right, I'm aware of it.
But that doesn't mean
I'm itching to fight.
What we need right now is motivation.
I want our front office
to forget about the past
and be constructive as soon as possible.
What I want
is just that.
This way. Follow me.
JAESONG
What?
We're from the investigation team.
Are you Mr. Byun Chi-hoon?
Yes, that's me.
-We need to talk to you.
-What?
Hold on.
What are you doing?
-Why are you taking that?
-What are you doing?
Leave it be!
What are you doing?
What is this?
From now on,
we'll start inspecting Mr. Byun,
considering him as a thief
who caused harm to the company.
What?
-Let's go.
-What
-Mr. Byun.
-Wait.
What did I do wrong?
What's wrong with you?
Stop!
What are you doing?
Mr. Baek.
We're from the headquarters.
Move aside.
-Goodness. Wait.
-Mr. Byun.
Mr. Baek.
Mr. Byun.
What did I do wrong?
Follow us already.
You need to tell me.
What is going on?
Tell me!
You're here, Mr. Baek.
Where is the president?
Thanks to you
CEO KWON KYUNG-MIN
he went home.
What are you doing?
Go make some coffee.
Make it delicious, but not too sweet.
I said, what are you doing?
What if there are players who took drugs?
Would you cover it up?
Do you mean by Kang Doo-ki?
What do you want?
It's the list of the Vikings players
suspected of using drugs.
Lim Dong-gyu's skills are from doping.
Kang Doo-ki. Do you completely trust him?
I also hope what I've found isn't right.
There aren't any except for Lim Dong-gyu.
You know it. It's my fault.
Let me say something
which will be hard for you to understand.
