Stove League (2019) s01e15 Episode Script

1
This drama is fiction
and the elements of the story
have no relation to reality.
Is something wrong, Mr. Baek?
If you put pressure on your eyes,
you'll end up wearing glasses like me.
This has no scientific proof.
If you're going to act this way,
just disband us at once,
instead of making me sick.
Mr. Baek.
Let's have a conversation
with these doors open.
You act all rational,
as if your actions are all calculated.
The others should also know
that you're actually a psycho.
You must feel certain
that this trade was problematic.
Can our team win right away?
Do the experts say so?
We surely could have
without that lousy trade.
Without the hindrance of these buffoons
who don't respect the hard work
of some people,
we could have won a thousand times.
You now talk in non-honorifics.
But that isn't the case.
That's not how you operate
a baseball team.
We have to prepare for the future.
Can you truly say you care
about the future without shame?
Yes, I can without any hesitation.
Our team's most suited manner
of management is re-building.
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Between the manager,
who's responsible on the field,
and me, the most responsible
regarding management.
You may ask why you were excluded,
but I felt you wouldn't make
that much of a difference.
You're saying
Song Il-kwon and Lee Chi-sang
can replace Kang Doo-ki?
Their Futures League records are poor
and they're in their early 30s.
How can you call that re-building?
Should I call it extraordinary?
How about this?
The two players' swings
were extraordinary.
If I say this,
I'm sure it can go against
the statistics you're pointing out.
Did you study natural sciences?
I studied social sciences.
One of them is a pitcher.
One of them
is a pitcher.
Then,
one player's swing and the other's pitch
were extraordinary. Okay?
When it comes to baseball,
you never know.
If Song Il-kwon and Lee Chi-sang
suddenly do incredibly well
and Kang Doo-ki doesn't,
what will you do?
Would you answer the same way
if the fans ask?
Manager Yoon will answer like that.
We're going to focus on playing baseball.
Baseball centered on management
doesn't fit well in Korea,
so I'm going to be supporting
Manager Yoon.
You're going home pretty soon,
so stop trying to interfere.
He's Manager Yoon, who you trusted so much
to sign a three-year contract.
Mr. Baek,
if you have anything to say, say it.
You have nothing to say.
I guess I won today's argument.
You're going to get a rash
when you get home.
What is this?
I guess you and I weren't meant
to play together.
Does someone hate you?
Does it make sense to trade
those two with you?
How many players are able
to play on the team they want?
I guess
I'm just not lucky.
Is it
Baek Seung-soo again?
Do you still not know the GM?
Then, who the heck is it?
Lim Dong-gyu,
you should just stick to
batting home runs,
hitting
and running.
That's all.
What a fool.
I'M STRONGER THAN WHAT I BELIEVE
I made a promise as soon as I came here
to only get criticized three times.
I'm leaving without keeping my word.
I'm the one who couldn't keep my word.
I know that this wasn't
your will.
-Again, I--
-Mr. Baek.
You've already dreamed of so many things
and are fighting to protect them.
It just so happened that
I became one dream that fell off.
Please don't lose the others
trying to pick me back up.
You won't be able to protect
all of your dreams.
You can't break down like this every time.
Thank you
for letting me have my own dreams
even for a little while.
AGAIN, NEW DREAMS FOR 2020
GENERAL MANAGER BAEK SEUNG-SOO
Yes.
Are you not going to ask the manager?
Ask what?
You said the manager agreed.
It's not important.
Regardless, Kwon Kyung-min wanted
to do it and he had his way.
But shouldn't we still check
the manager's stance?
No.
I don't want to do so.
Then, I'll check myself.
There are some things
even you can't do.
But Mr. Baek.
You can't feel at a loss for long.
Be sad
only for today.
Did you really agree?
Manager.
Please tell me.
Why are you asking me this?
Kang Doo-ki cannot be replaced
by any player.
Why trade him
for two second-string players?
Was it wrong of me
to use my authority to help form the team?
You know how hard
the general manager worked
to help protect your authority.
If you discussed this even slightly
with the general manager,
I would gladly accept any result, but--
I don't expect you to understand.
Just blame me for all this.
So you expect us to just blame you
and give up on our dreams?
I really felt
that we could win this time.
You felt it when we had the practice match
against the Vikings.
It's partly the general manager's fault
for appointing an incompetent manager
without any winning experience.
You keep spitting out
words that you don't mean.
It does seem like you agreed to the trade.
I'm now sure that you aren't
proud of your decision.
I have to straighten this out.
PLAYERS OF THE DREAMS
Darn it.
Have you had dinner?
Not yet.
I felt too lazy to cook dinner tonight.
So I ordered yours too.
What did you order?
Oh, boy.
The food is here. Oh, boy.
-Enjoy your food.
-Yes.
Here's our food. Here.
They deliver hot dogs now?
Do your knees hurt?
It's about time they hurt.
I haven't felt pain for a while.
Look.
Right. I bought two pairs of socks for you
on my way home.
They're on your bed.
You should have bought more
while you were at it.
I'm short of socks
and have no time for laundry.
They had a sign in the store
saying, "The boss has gone crazy."
And they were pretending to give
discounts on everything.
But then I thought about it,
and it was way more expensive
than the ones sold on the truck.
They must have better quality.
No. First of all,
the phrase "the boss has gone
crazy" itself is strange.
Our boss has also gone crazy.
Listen.
When your boss is crazy,
shut down the store.
How could they put up
a banner about it and sell more?
Salesmen never go crazy.
They never sell at a loss.
Mom!
-You startled me.
-My boss is probably not crazy.
You said he was.
No, you said salesmen never sell
at a loss.
They don't. You're the one who's crazy,
not your boss.
Mom, I'll be back.
Are you going to see
that unemployed guy again?
Well
He should at least have a job.
Any job.
Why did you want to come here and meet?
It's about President Kwon.
Yes.
Why would he have agreed to this trade?
To ruin our team.
But
even though he has
some connection with the Titans,
isn't this trade only favorable
to the Titans?
What do you mean?
Though he's behaving that way
in our baseball team,
he's recognized for his capability
in the head office.
The same person
wouldn't be that generous
to give out Kang Doo-ki.
We were only seeing him
as a piece of trash
and we might have overlooked
his businessman side.
I understand.
It's a good opinion.
You should go home now.
Mr. Baek.
Please
don't blame yourself and think
that you failed to protect
Kang Doo-ki.
Have I protected him then?
For now, we should figure out what to do
with Mr. Kwon's move.
It's already been done,
and what can we do to solve it?
Since what happened is very serious,
let's put our heads together
to come up with a solution.
Kang Doo-ki isn't the only player
on our team.
He's a piece of the numerous
puzzles I've put together
for how we could win the championship,
and he was always the fundamental piece.
So we can't win the championship?
Probably not.
Mr. Baek, we have
Gil Chang-ju who came from America
and faced criticism,
Yoo Min-ho who finally overcame his yips,
Lim Dong-gyu who was born a new person,
Seo Yeong-ju who lives with injuries
every day,
and Jang Jin-woo who pitches
with the thought
that this will be his last.
There are still so many players
we must protect.
I had a goal different from yours.
It wasn't winning the championship.
It was to have a team that hates to lose
then goes out to win the next day.
To become a team
that persistently plays hard
to wear out the opponents
even when it loses big time.
From the experience I've had
in the world of sports,
not many people were
guaranteed their future
even when they won the championship.
When you talked about
your goal for a championship,
I liked your spirit.
But on your view that
other than a championship
is meaningless,
I could never agree with you.
Really? Do you think we'd
have come this far
if I hadn't won any before?
The reason we started having faith in you
is not because of your career
in championships.
It was because of your responsible side
that you've shown us here.
You could drop down
or take a break.
I couldn't change your mind.
I'll just have to work harder.
The Dreams are in agony
because we can't win the championship?
It suffocates me
just by thinking about it.
BAEK SEUNG-SOO
I'm taking a leave today.
Sure.
Take care of your internal injury.
What is that?
Trading for no reason!
Step down, Mr. Baek!
-Step down!
-Step down!
Retract Kang Doo-ki's trade!
-Retract it!
-Retract it!
We miss you, Kang Doo-ki!
-Kang Doo-ki!
-Kang Doo-ki!
An incompetent general manager!
Step down, Mr. Baek!
-Step down!
-Step down!
Trading for no reason!
Step down, Mr. Baek!
-Step down!
-Step down!
Retract Kang Doo-ki's trade!
-Retract it!
-Retract it!
We miss you, Kang Doo-ki!
-Kang Doo-ki!
-Kang Doo-ki!
Mr. Jang.
Yes.
How are those people
here on a weekday afternoon?
They could be jobless.
Or they could have taken a leave.
A leave?
Looking at the business trucks,
it seems some of them are self-employed.
But baseball is
only a hobby.
-Pardon?
-Isn't baseball a hobby?
They bet their livelihood
on a hobby?
Director Excuse me.
President Kwon.
What?
There are some people.
What?
There are such people
who bet their livelihood
on a hobby.
Whatever.
Step down, Mr. Baek!
-Step down!
-Step down!
Mr. Baek who traded
Stand up!
What?
SCOUT TEAM LEADER
Stand up.
I said, stand up!
Why
are you screaming
-and making a fuss?
-Don't.
Bow.
Who are you?
Who are you to act this way?
What's going on?
You're here.
Tell them who I am.
He's Chairperson Kwon Il-do's son,
Vice President Kwon Kyung-jun.
Goodness.
Stop it.
You don't know how far I can go,
and how far you have to put up with,
do you?
I can do anything I want,
and you have to put up with it
until the end.
Let's go inside and talk.
Is that your wish?
Okay.
This is ridiculous.
There's another crazy jerk.
CEO KWON KYUNG-MIN
I have good news for you.
Take a guess.
First, I might settle old baggage.
As the next chairperson of Jaesong Group,
I may be able to forgive you.
Isn't that great news?
And I'm
hitting you in a way that it won't show.
There's one more great news.
About what you said you wanted to do,
it's going very well.
Do you want to arm wrestle?
As you all know,
a trade which no one is happy about
was made.
Followed by the off-season training,
now we even have to suspect
if President Kwon Kyung-min
from our parent company
wishes to maintain our team.
I doubt he wants to ruin the team.
But the thing is
he isn't letting the team work properly.
Where is the GM?
He took a day off.
He needs time.
It's obvious he's blaming himself
somewhere alone.
Isn't it better if he just joins us
so we can discuss together?
But why are they doing this much?
The team costs them money,
but it didn't bring results.
We're going to make results
and earn money too.
They think it's too late.
Actually,
there have been rumors
that the team would be sold off
for two or three years.
Since Mr. Kwon became
the acting club owner,
he met with big companies.
Why do you think he did that?
The players and coaching staff
only play baseball.
We're the only ones who can stop this.
We're the management.
Instead of talking
about the current situation,
let's find
what we must do.
It's not that we're forcing you.
Due to the continuous
incomprehensible management,
a few players including me
are going to boycott training.
You're free to join or not.
We never want to force you.
We welcome voluntary participation,
but if you force anyone,
we'll consider you
just as evil as the new president.
You heard him, right?
Like Jin-woo said,
he and I will be absent from the training.
This is never compulsory.
Okay?
-Okay.
-Okay.
It strangely sounds compulsory
when you say it.
What?
The mood was great earlier.
Mr. Yoon.
I heard it was you.
Is it true
you went along with the president
on the trade?
Don't be frustrating and say something!
You see,
players couldn't train off-season,
but we even gave up
our family trips to train them
because we were embarrassed.
We couldn't
rest like the others
when we were that poor at baseball.
How could you trade Kang Doo-ki
for some nobodies?
What were you promised?
What?
Did the president promise you something?
No, Mr. Yoon.
Don't go like this.
At least say something.
Other teams are training hard
right before the season.
What about us?
I'm disappointed in you!
I worked really hard this time.
I know.
You were back to your old self.
But what?
I worked so hard that we were
able to bring Lim Dong-gyu back,
and they sent Kang Doo-ki off.
This feels horrible.
I'll make more money.
What?
Why would you do something
for the company?
We can let them know
that our franchise is going well
by making better results first, and
Exactly my point.
And
Then
I'll prepare for the press release.
Don't be so worried.
After I was shocked
by the incident last time,
I told them that I'd look for another job.
It'll be cool to get kicked out
for working according to my convictions.
You won't be fired for a press release
on better results.
No.
It's going to be a special article
about what Jaesong Group has done
to the Dreams the whole time.
What are you doing,
strategy analysis team?
We are
preparing materials
for the special article.
What is the article about?
It's obvious.
"How many wins will the Dreams lose
without Kang Doo-ki?"
-Good.
-Wow.
I'm not so desperate about my place,
but when the press release gets out,
I might really get fired.
Then what should I do?
You must have a lot of connections
because you're a scouter, so
That's not exactly true.
-Hey!
-He's not a friendly type.
You little
Then use all your connections
to spread this.
What we're about to do
may not have any influence
on the president.
But I hope
it makes him reconsider
doing as he pleases, at least.
Mr. Baek.
I thought you took your day off.
I rested a little during the day.
The Dreams
don't work without me yet.
Let me see the minutes.
Okay.
DISCUSSED ITEMS ON THE AGENDA
All of you mustered up your courage.
DISCUSSED ITEMS ON THE AGENDA
For timid people.
It's quite constructive.
First, we need to show them
our determination
so the same thing won't repeat.
and take action
based on what you've discussed.
But I'd like us to think
about taking one more step from this too.
It's whether the Dreams
have to be a part of Jaesong.
It's been a while
since I visited the hospital.
Is it still right for visitors
to bring something like this?
From Lim Dong-gyu who was immature
to Ko Se-hyuk and Kwon Kyung-min.
I could put up with all their evil deeds.
But
I'm not okay with the betrayal
of someone I trusted.
I told you it was
for the sake of the team.
I'm sure you're burdened
with your son's hospital fees.
There were times when I thought
I could do anything for my family.
However,
as many different interests
are entangled with each other,
what I did for my family
ended up harming
someone else's family.
What did he promise you?
I cannot answer.
Jaesong Group seemed pretty busy.
I've dropped the thought
that you'd do me a favor
since you're a good person.
I've come here because I need you
even though you betrayed me.
Instead of depending on the cause,
I came here to persuade you
that your practical interests
will be better met with me.
The Dreams became the heroes
of the stove league
after Mr. Baek's appointment.
Yesterday, they showed
another incomprehensible trade.
They let go of Kim Kwan-sik
and Yeon Joong-sub,
two promising players,
to bring Lim Dong-gyu back.
But trading Kang Doo-ki with
Song Il-sang and Lee Chi-kwon--
It's Il-kwon and Chi-sang.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, trading him with such players
is total nonsense.
The Dreams have reduced the total salaries
of the players by 30 percent.
It must be a harsh winter
for the Dreams players.
They're also having
spring training in Korea.
When I heard that, I couldn't believe it.
They should've trained in Jeju Island.
If Jaesong plans not to take
care of the club any longer--
That'd be enough.
Anyway, the Dreams have changed
since the new general manager
Why does that pretty lady
criticize your company all the time?
Does it bother you?
You don't like my club.
I don't.
But it's a company that hired you,
so watching her speaking ill of it,
I get riled up.
Come on!
You have nothing to do with it!
Why do you hate the Dreams only?
Calm down, Mom.
She's helping our team now.
What are you talking about?
Only I can talk bad about it
for the sake of the team.
No, it's not just you.
The leader of the PR team
asked her to do so
to make the Dreams become
a sound and decent team.
Why? Does he enjoy being backbitten?
Someone would feel guilty by this.
This is Lee Se-young,
the operations manager.
Sorry?
Okay. We'll also try to reach him.
I'll get back to you. Bye.
Mr. Baek.
-I got a call from the Titans.
-Okay.
They say Kang Doo-ki has been
out of touch.
Okay.
Wait.
You must know something.
I think there's an article about it.
About what?
About the rumor that Kang Doo-ki
might retire soon.
Why?
It's to make the situation worse
so that everyone can notice what's dirty.
What?
Don't most people
want to share only the good things?
Kang Doo-ki will retire?
KANG DOO-KI MIGHT RETIRE
He's trying all kinds of tricks.
He can never retire like this.
He'd never be able to give up
his salary. Don't you think so?
We never know. It's Kang Doo-ki.
What about him?
Doesn't he like money?
He already earned enough.
It's still chicken feed.
I'm sure
he's got pride too.
What about you?
You don't have it?
Yes, I do too.
Mr. Jang.
Just be honest with me.
I'm quite quick-witted
and can read others' minds.
Why do you lie?
You've lost your pride
since you're working under me?
No, sir.
You used to be very busy working
like the scouting team.
You must feel suffocated now.
I didn't fire you along with Ko Se-hyuk
because I believed you weren't
that filthy-minded.
Ko Se-hyuk isn't a filthy guy.
If you aren't so clear-headed
that you end up believing
Se-hyuk did it all for reason
even if things seemed suspicious,
we can't fire you just because of that.
Fidelity is sometimes used
to cover up dirty flaws,
but I don't see it as a bad thing.
But
what about this case?
Is any feeling of loyalty still in you?
Are you telling me
I should betray President Kwon?
You got it wrong. I'm not saying
you should betray him.
But you should report the injustice
you've seen.
Why should I?
How long has baseball fed you?
A year for you.
And for me, I can't even count it.
You do have a passion
and pride for baseball.
But why do you help him ruin baseball?
You hate me.
Is that why you sided with him?
You don't know
how frightening the consequences
of whistle-blowing are
because you've gone places.
I do know.
Then, how could you
contact those young boys
including Lee Chang-kwon
and Lee Yong-jae to fire Ko Se-hyuk?
And you should've taken
responsibility for it.
You should've called them.
and checked
if Se-hyuk still bothered them.
But you never do that!
I do.
What?
Stop lying.
Here. I'm doing it.
LEE CHANG-KWON, LEE YONG-JAE
Thank you for your reminder.
I was going to stop it
thinking I've done enough,
but I will keep them in check longer.
You did it.
I hope you can return as
the assistant chief of the scout team,
and for that,
I'll take all the responsibility.
Mr. Jang,
where is the dual contract?
Even if President Kwon didn't
really like Kang Doo-ki,
he wouldn't have sold him like that
because he'd known his market value.
He must've received money
using another account.
And he's too loyal to have
gobbled up the money alone.
I'm sure he sent it to the head office.
The dual contract
Where is it?
Can you swear you'll never tell
I gave you this?
Yes. It's me who stole this.
PLAYERS TRADING CONTRAC
THE TITANS SHOULD GIVE TWO BILLION WON
TO THE DREAMS.
PRESIDENT KWON KYUNG-MIN,
PRESIDENT HAN BONG YANG
Kyung-min.
What's the two billion won about?
The team will be disbanded soon anyway,
so I sold a decent item.
It would've been fine
if you took the money.
It belongs to Jaesong.
Good.
You just need to do good work
in whichever position you are.
If you do so,
I'll hear about it.
So you made up with Kyung-jun?
I did.
We resolved a misunderstanding.
You can back down
as an elder cousin, right?
Absolutely.
You know he's a stubborn boy
who never gives way to others.
But you'll always yield to him, right?
Yes, I can.
Great.
You're really ready to come back.
Yes. I'm still working hard to do so.
President Kwon!
You look much brighter.
It's all thanks to you.
How could you let me work
in the head office
when you were demoted?
It's to establish my connection.
You're not an ordinary young guy.
How is it going?
All that's left is the signing.
I'm glad to hear that.
If we had known it would go this smoothly,
we wouldn't have sold Kang Doo-ki.
We could just disband the team.
Baek Seung-soo and Lee Se-young
would make a fuss again. Gosh.
I'm so sick of this team.
Now,
you'll forget about
that sick baseball team
and return to the head office.
I will.
He sold Kang Doo-ki
for two billion won only.
Then, what will you do now?
I'll try to count on KPB.
Mr. Baek.
President Kwon might be dismissed
this time.
But if the next president thinks
you're the whistleblower
What will happen then?
You might also have to resign.
It doesn't matter.
Why not?
We should at least compare
the losses we'll suffer
and he'll suffer.
As I was returning,
my contract has been revised.
My term in the office is
until this spring.
Mr. Kwon had a strong will.
I hurt his pride a bit,
and tried to disobey
the chairperson's order
to take me back in.
So I made a compromise plan.
What about the salary you were guaranteed?
It's very awkward to get paid
without working.
After I leave,
if anything else seems unjust,
I hope you'll stand up to it
confidently, even on the side of the weak.
You might have to
free up your hands and fight.
It would have been better if we won
the championship before I left.
But for not making a team
that doesn't care
even when the key player is traded,
I'm satisfied.
At least it's a team
that points out problems
if there is one.
That's it for today.
As you see, this is a dual contract.
Kang Doo-ki's trade was
against common sense
in every way.
So I presumed that there would be
a dual contract like this.
I sincerely apologize again
that the Dreams caused another problem.
But
I wanted to show you all
that we're a team with self-purification.
As the general manager of Dreams,
I request an overall invalidation
of this trade.
Thank you.
KPB will set up
a special investigation committee
with experts of law and accounting.
They will be investigating the trade
between the Dreams and the Titans.
GENERAL MANAGER BAEK SEUNG-SOO
GENERAL MANAGER BAEK SEUNG-SOO
Hello?
Yes, Manager Yoon.
The investigation will begin,
and no evidence will be
stronger than the dual contract.
You're now in a situation
where it wouldn't mean more than
repenting of your wrongdoings
even if you testified. It's too late.
There are talks about Jaesong Group
and Gangseong Group
preparing for a big deal
based on a reliable source
in the stock market.
You must know why it's Gangseong Group.
It's a firm that's strong
in heavy industry.
Jaesong Group wanted to be
more than a consumer goods company
for a long time.
Gangseong Group was very interested
in the shopping business.
If this big deal of switching
their main fields of business,
Jaesong Group won't have to be
conscious of public opinion.
And then they'll instantly announce
the breakup of the Dreams.
And Mr. Kwon will return
to the head office.
Unlike Mr. Kwon who chose Jaesong Group,
I have no other option.
But during my remaining term,
I've set a goal.
No matter what,
I want to protect the Dreams.
Will you be a manager
who was abandoned by Jaesong Group,
or a manager that stays in the Dreams?
Is it too late now?
Yes, it's too late.
Is it?
Yes.
It must be.
It's too late to restore
my personal trust in you.
However,
it's not yet too late to work with me.
Unfortunately,
I haven't found a better manager
than you yet.
Please come to the KPB right now.
I'll be waiting.

Okay. I think that's good enough.
Public opinion is now on our side.
Now, there could be
fans complaining that Mr. Baek is
a whistle-blower
or the president could pressure him.
At that moment, we must act together.
If the president gets replaced,
won't they write a new contract for him?
For Mr. Baek?
Yes.
-Why?
-Well
You all seem to like Mr. Baek now.
What's not to like?
Stop being absurd all of a sudden.
More people are protesting
to invalidate Kang Doo-ki's trade.
The decision of the KPB seems hopeful too.
They must have been surprised.
Jaesong Group isn't even
in financial difficulty.
So no one knew they would run
the team this way.
OPERATIONS LEADER TITANS
Could it be a call of complaint?
They're in no position to complain.
Anyway, I'm answering the phone.
Excuse me.
Hello?
No.
About that
Yes, we should.
I understand.
Yes.
Yes, goodbye. Yes.
Hurry up and tell us.
What was it about?
The Titans are
Before the KPB makes a decision,
they want to
invalidate the trade.
This is the Dreams!
-This is the Dreams.
-This is the Dreams!
-Well done, everyone.
-That's a relief.
-Nice.
-Goodness.
This turned out very well.
KANG DOO-KI
Hey.
We boycotted our training because of you.
How could you be so shameless
and train by yourself?
Right. It's a bit of a cheap move.
Are you trying to make
30 wins or something?
Welcome back.
Whether I'm here or not,
it's wrong for players to not train.
Why didn't you train?
-We should.
-Yes.
Let's train together.
-Let's go!
-Yes!
Here we go.
Kang Doo-ki
Doo-ki!
Manager Yoon.
They have to make up for their training.
It's not the time to loosen up.
Where are you going?
I'm sorry.
About what?
You can slowly repay for this
by buying us meat and drinks from now on.
You should learn how to act
like nothing happened, okay?
You should learn.
Get your hand off.
It's gross.
Let's go to training, Mr. Yoon.
Give me a break, guys.
Guys!
AGAIN, NEW DREAMS FOR 2020
Is this how the Titans
usually handles things?
You haven't even called me,
and you're canceling the trade?
But I reported it all to the chairman.
You must've discussed something
with the chairman.
I didn't say I'd take that money.
Jaesong Group and Gangseong Group
have made a big deal.
This deal is worth a trillion won
and mainly focuses
on Jaesong's heavy industry
and Gangseong's shopping business.
As the two groups switch
their major businesses,
it's expected to have a great impact.
Oh, right.
Jaesong has a baseball franchise,
doesn't it?
What will you do about it?
Jaesong is based on
the heavy industry now,
so why bother minding people?
We'll disband it.
Please be careful
so that it won't have any effect
on our new shopping business.
Sure thing.
A fish has to be cut
into pieces before being sold.
We'll disband it
under the name of Jaesong.
Don't you agree, Kyung-jun?
Yes, we'll cut it into pieces.
But if you sell it off,
the baseball team could remain
and Jaesong Group could get some money.
For 30 years, I was the only one
who was magnanimous enough
to run the baseball club.
We've made a big deal, so let's stop
talking about petty issues like that.
JAESONG AND GANGSEONG'S BIG DEAL
JAESONG-GANGSEONG AGREEMENT CEREMONY
You're always clumsy at what you do.
That money is chicken feed.
You watched the news, so get ready.
Write it neatly for the announcement.
CEO KWON KYUNG MIN
THE DREAMS SHOP
Mr. Jang.
That dual contract
Kang Doo-ki's contract.
How did Baek Seung-soo get it?
I'm not sure.
It means he sneaked into my office
and stole it.
What should we do about him?
I did it.
I knew it.
Mr. Jang.
Remember me
as the most generous president.
It's meaningless now.
So just get out.
Excuse me then.
Oh, and
empty my trash can.
Right now.
OPERATIONS MANAGER
Well It's too much of an applause
for turning what was abnormal to normal.
Go back to work.
OPERATIONS MANAGER
Mr. Baek.
I hear you paid a visit to the KPB.
Right.
It's a shame you didn't report it to me.
If you had told me,
I would've driven you there.
Oh, yes?
Mr. Yoon might feel sad about this.
He was quite willing
to proceed with that trade.
Oh, I resolved the misunderstanding
with him.
Please don't worry.
You're concerned only about him,
so I guess there aren't
any more misunderstandings left
in the Dreams.
You guys
worked together
as one this time.
I'm very pleased.
Thanks to upper management.
Look at this punk.
Hey. Guess where I'm headed right now.
To a press conference
to announce the disbandment of the Dreams.
Doesn't it sound fun?
Do you want to join me?
No.
I'll be very busy too.
Mr. Kwon has decided to disband the Dreams
as Jaesong Group wants.
Their shopping business
was based on our district,
but as they handed it all over
to a heavy industry company,
they don't have to mind people
in the district anymore.
Jaesong Group is abandoning us,
so we must
come to a decision too.
In the history of the Dreams,
Jaesong Group
neither had the will to invest
nor any manners.
Now it's time we take them out.
I'm President Kwon Kyung-min
of the Jaesong Dreams.
I will be making the most important
announcement in the Dreams' history.
JAESONG-GANGSEONG DINING EVEN
Who are you?
You look somewhat familiar.
Move aside.
I'm the Dreams' general manager,
Baek Seung-soo.
Due to
the Dreams' poor results
and worsened business performance,
we have decided
If you give me time
to disband the Dreams.
I will sell the Dreams off.
