(Episode 4)
This is a wiretapping device with a camera.
That's not my pen.
This isn't a pen. This is a special equipment used by spies.
You.
What is your identity?
Who are you?
Are you suspicious of me?
I'm not just suspicious. I am sure.
Take him.
What was that?
I knew something was weird about him.
Doesn't he already look like a spy?
Gi Tan is out.
Gosh, I wanted to compete with him.
The rest of the process will be a boring piece of cake.
Whom are you with?
Are you from Geukdong Electronics?
Or are you from JP Group?
Or...
are you a part of the National Intelligence Service?
There definitely is a spy here...
because someone put that pen inside my bag.
We can't communicate right, can we?
Please give me back my phone.
I need to make a call.
There is no need. You are dropped out.
Didn't you just ask me whom I was with?
If I make that call,
you'll see who sent me here as a spy.
Bring him his phone.
Tell Manager Moon to drop him from the process.
This is Kang Gi Tan's phone.
This is by Wei Lei Yang, one of the national artists in China.
No wonder.
Something seemed very unique about this painting.
I will give this to you as a gift.
I can't accept that.
Just take it.
It's a gift.
My goodness, you're a bold woman.
Ms Ok...
Excuse me.
Yes?
I am...
Kang Gi Tan.
"Kang Gi Tan"?
Right, you were Ms Ok's cousin.
Well? How is the training going?
There is someone here who wants to talk to you.
Who?
His name is Byun Il Jae.
Take it.
Who is this?
It's me, Il Jae.
Oh, hello.
I was going to make a call to you, anyway.
Please look after Gi Tan for my sake.
He and I are acquainted well.
I adore him.
Oh, I see.
Yes.
Yes, Ma'am.
Did you just say, "Ma'am"?
She's our VIP.
How do you know her?
What did she say?
She really likes you.
I will do whatever you tell me to do now.
If you want to drop me,
I will leave.
We almost lost a very talented man.
I'm glad you're not the spy.
Thank you for taking back your suspicion.
Soo Yeon!
Hey, wake up!
- Are you okay? - Are you all right?
Yes.
I have a bloody nose!
I am okay.
Hey.
Soo Yeon.
Are you ill?
What's with your hand?
Is this funny?
Why are you getting on my nerves?
Did we join a sports team?
What's wrong with this major company's training process?
What's the connection between push-ups and our work?
They should've just picked out physical education majors.
Don't you agree?
Soo Yeon.
We must compete fairly and get trained equally.
Then, we won't feel sour even if we get dropped out.
Okay. Who wants to come with me to talk to the trainers?
What's with you all?
Are you all silenced in front of this unfair reality?
Hey, Soo Yeon.
Shut your mouth unless you're coming with me.
What's the problem?
I believe we explained enough about the rules.
But there must be others who believe this process is unfair.
Kang Gi Tan.
Do you think physical training is unfair?
Yes.
It's unfair.
But the power to overcome this unfairness is...
exactly what the chairman means...
by "love and loyalty for this company"!
That is precise.
Oh Soo Yeon.
- Yes, Sir. - I always welcome...
your resignation.
No, Sir.
I was mistaken.
Give her five penalty points.
Yes, Sir.
How does that taste?
All that exercise really boosted my appetite.
Then you can eat my share.
The poor fish is drowning.
Wow.
He's been to the army.
Hey, you.
Gosh. Turn that flash light off.
Don't disturb me. I'm studying.
You're the one disturbing me.
Studying is what you do in class.
Go to the library, then. I'm trying to sleep here.
The problem is, I'm not as smart as you guys.
Your personality is the real problem.
Stop yapping and go back to sleep.
Students like you always end up sleeping in class.
No wonder you're in last place.
This isn't just a cooking competition.
This is a test to see how well you work with others.
Stand behind the person you want as your team leader.
Team leaders, turn around.
Five people per team. The rest are in Soo Yeon's team.
Gosh.
Chairman Do likes simple foods.
Your assignment is to prepare a dinner he will like.
Today's menu is...
dwenjang jjigae, buchu jeon, tuna egg rolls and stewed tofu.
We can't order from a restaurant, okay?
I'll do the cooking.
Can you do this?
- What? - Come on. You're a good cook.
I can tell right away.
What can you cook?
Instant noodles.
I can cook that, too.
Other than that,
what are you really good at cooking?
Noodles with tteok.
- Fire! - Hey!
Put that out!
How did that happen?
Do something!
Blow!
I told you to cook.
Did you play with the ingredients?
- Ms Mo. - Yes?
Try it.
Yes, Sir.
It's not fit for human consumption.
Let's move on.
Try it.
It's the best.
How are things?
Not too bad.
Don't worry about that Kang Gi Tan.
The real test begins now.
This is the answer sheet to tomorrow's test.
Can't I do this on my own?
Are you refusing this?
It doesn't do well for my pride.
I like that you turned competitive.
But Gun Woo.
You aren't like them.
You will become the heir to Dodo Group.
Answer sheets...
shouldn't hurt your pride.
What should really hurt...
is if and when you end up...
losing to people like them.
Leave the ways and means to me.
You just reap the honours.
That is how...
a true king acts and preserves his pride.
(Dodo Group)
(Current Standings)
(1: Do Gun Woo, 2: Kang Gi Tan)
(6: Yoo Seong Ae, 7: Kim Hyo Joon, 8: Hong Nan Jeong)
Nice.
(30: Oh Soo Yeon)
Well done, all of you.
Did you see that? I came 30th.
I beat 10 others.
Congratulations. You did so well.
I won't wish for too much.
I'll beat just 10 people each week.
In three weeks' time, I'll top the class.
You wish for too much.
Let's go.
You must be a genius.
You don't study,
but you get perfect scores on written tests.
What's your secret?
You know what it is.
What is it?
You just said it yourself. I'm a genius.
How could a genius like you not know sarcasm?
Kang Gi Tan.
Watch out how you treat me. You might get into trouble.
What kind of comment is that?
Are you some kind of royal?
I am.
I know you have a delusion of grandeur,
but try not to let it go too far.
I'm just saying, don't end up in my bad book.
Do you need your medication? Should I get it for you?
No. You're out.
- What do you mean? - You're in my bad book.
I don't care about your book,
but you better work hard. I won't let you win.
Oh dear.
You're too weak.
Come on.
Hey, let go!
You're dead meat.
Take that!
Let go!
That hurts.
- Let go. - You first!
Let go, you punk!
Then let's both let go on three.
One, two, three.
Hey! Let go!
- No! - You...
What? What? What?
Wait!
Step forward if you had training before.
We'll have the experienced against each other,
and the non-experienced against each other.
Could I compete against an expert?
If a non-experienced is challenging an expert, it's not a problem.
I would like to go against Do Gun Woo.
All right. Fight.
Isn't that cheating?
Accepted. Resume.
Hey, that's cheating, too!
Kang Gi Tan, you lose for cheating.
No, no. I want to continue.
You won't accept it as a win?
No.
Okay. Fight.
What the...
Hey!
Stop!
Are you hooligans?
This is no place for a fist fight!
Ms Mo.
Give them 20 penalty points each and teach them a lesson.
Yes, Sir.
Did you learn judo to kill people?
You're the one who cheated first.
It's different for you to cheat since I don't know any rules.
I'm mad because I didn't get to kill you, so shut your mouth.
What?
I experienced a few life-threatening incidents when I was young.
So I hate it...
when someone's trying to hurt me.
Do you know me?
You're Do Gun Woo, a delusion and petty dog.
Sure, I'm a dog.
I was born like a dog and was raised like one, too.
So there are a lot of things I have to bite apart.
And Kang Gi Tan, you're one of them.
I said, I hate it when people try to hurt me.
Are you deaf?
I said, I have my eyes on you!
You should approach Byun Il Jae.
You're telling me to seduce him?
Seduce or not, that's up to you.
Just get close to him for now.
Like a bond to bearer?
Yes. I don't care what it is.
Just find out everything you can from him.
Director Byun?
I didn't know you were a member here.
Why have I never run into you before?
How is the gallery business?
I have a lot of people that are supporting me.
Come over for tea sometime.
I will.
Wait... Was this how they do it?
Or am I supposed to stand like this?
Or... Or was it this way?
Why is it so hard?
Hold on.
You should place the head to face the direction you want it to go.
And hold it more loosely.
Oh, like this?
Yes. Now try hitting it.
Goodness!
My...
Oh, my... I'm so sorry.
I'm still new at this.
Everyone starts off that way. You'll get better soon.
Do you come here at this hour every day?
Yes, sometimes.
Then, it would be nice to learn from you.
Are you even interested in learning?
Of course.
You can't do business without learning golf these days.
Hey, Mr Kim.
Can you teach her?
If you learn from him, you'll be good in no time.
Byun Il Jae,
you're not easy, are you?
Dodo Group and Geukdong Electronics' patent dispute...
came to a ruling in its first trial.
The court dismissed the plaintiff's litigation today...
and raised the hand of Dodo Group.
He's here, he's here.
Hurry.
You have frequented the court for over a year and a half.
Please say a few words.
We were also damaged by this patent dispute.
But I believe this ruling...
will become an example to many other patent disputes in the future.
Do you think Geukdong Electronics will lodge an appeal?
Finding a strategy to win over Geukdong Electronics' appeal...
at the high court...
is the assignment given to you at this training.
Since we already won the first trial, wouldn't we win the case?
It's not looking very good this time.
One of our staff from the lab...
passed on 100 pages' worth of...
secret documents to Geukdong Electronics.
In the secret documents Geukdong Electronics received,
there are comparisons and analyses on the two companies' products.
It has the information about how we benchmarked their phones...
to improve the performance of our products.
If this document is used as evidence,
we will lose this case.
Is the information found in that document true?
That person from the lab...
manipulated the documents.
They must have been bribed by Geukdong Electronics.
Or maybe they're an industrial spy.
Won't this problem solve itself if we catch the spy?
Unfortunately,
that researcher passed away due to a car accident.
Can we have access to the security footages of the accident?
Of course.
Cause of death was...
a simple car accident from lack of vehicle maintenance.
That is why...
we can't even sue the person who sent out that email.
Isn't it a murder...
instead of an accident?
In order to hide the truth, I think it's possible that...
Geukdong Electronics could have planned for the accident.
SPD also tried to investigate with that in mind,
but we could not find any evidence.
You said there was a lack of vehicle maintenance.
But what exactly was it?
The brake coil had been worn off.
It was a brake malfunction.
Did people ever find that person's body?
No.
We believe it has been carried away by the river.
You can give me any possible explanations.
But find a way in which you can win.
That's all.
This one is a team mission.
Get a team leader and make teams as you'd like.
And the first eight...
who passes will be chosen to participate...
in overseas training.
They'll gather in teams by their marks and skills.
They know that will be better for them.
Between Do Gun Woo and Kang Gi Tan,
who are you betting on, Manager Moon?
It's a close fight, but if I had to choose,
I'll choose Kang Gi Tan.
Is that so?
Hurry up and come.
Do we have to be on his team?
If we don't come in eighth, we'll be dropped out.
We don't have time for this.
Come on.
Can we join you guys?
My gosh, look at these two wandering around without a team.
All right, fine.
I will help you all.
My goodness, so many people want me.
Hey.
You can leave, and Nan Jeong can stay.
Just me?
Come on, let Soo Yeon be a part, too.
You've seen how good of a cook she is.
Yes, exactly. Go find a team who wants your food.
Nan Jeong, you can stay here.
I can't take his attitude.
Soo Yeon. Come on.
You can leave if you want.
Leave? Leave where?
I think this is my seat.
Is it? All right, then.
Were you guys sitting here?
I finally found my team.
How far did you get?
Wait, we need to look for data, right?
Hey, are you joining us?
Team Leader, what will you do?
You're here only because you have nowhere else to go, right?
I declined Do Gun Woo's team begging for my help...
because I wanted to help you.
Well? Should I just leave?
You'll regret it if I go to their team.
Let her leave. We have enough people.
All right, Soo Yeon is our final member.
Team Leader!
Do you know which university she graduated from?
She's from that university. It's a third-rate school!
And I also heard...
that you took a GED.
She is a negative factor to our team.
Why would you do that to your team?
You're too harsh.
I'm not. It's just that no one wanted...
You can leave.
Me?
You can leave this team.
Fine, you can do this among yourselves.
Hey, Soo Yeon. My gosh.
Can we please get to our agenda?
Okay. First, let's find more data.
We'll move in two.
Find judicial precedents and cases regarding patents.
Sung Ae and I will find data regarding this case.
All right, let's hurry.
- Soo Yeon. - Hey.
- Soo Yeon. - Wait.
What are you doing?
What do you think? I'm doing what I need to do.
Is the library moving locations?
Are you helping them move?
Excuse me.
I'm trying to borrow books from the library. Is there a problem?
Hey.
These are cases regarding patents...
You can borrow these...
after I'm through with them.
Come on, move.
You can try looking, but you won't find any books regarding patents.
When will I get through all of them?
Whose team are you on?
I am the team leader.
Where are your team members?
I am the team member.
This is a team mission.
Even if you do well, you'll fail if you don't have a team.
Don't I have the time to make a team until we turn in our reports?
That's true,
but no one will want you as a part of their team by then.
I will make them come and beg.
You will see.
You can do this, Soo Yeon.
I'll come first place and receive 200,000 dollars,
and get a house to bring back Dong Soo.
Yes, 200,000 dollars are on stake.
Chairman is waiting for you.
You're making too much noise. Walk lightly.
Chairman isn't feeling great today.
Please keep that in mind.
This way.
Do you have your strategy for Geukdong Electronics' case?
I finished preparing.
You will win, won't you?
To be honest, it's a 50-50 chance.
- It actually may be lower... - I asked if you could win.
- I will win. - I heard...
that you gave this to the trainees as a test. Is that true?
It is true.
What kind of crazy man thought of doing such a thing?
That crazy man...
is me.
Oh, it was Father...
Is there anyone good?
There are a few.
Schedule an interview as soon as you have the finalists.
Il Jae, you haven't eaten, have you?
Butler Gong, tell them to prepare Il Jae's meal.
You can do that after I'm done.
It's past dinnertime.
Butler Gong, tell them to hurry.
Chairman never eats with his employees, Ma'am.
An employee?
He is my husband.
But he's not yet someone who can dine with us.
I'll see myself out.
Please, enjoy your meal.
You are too harsh.
What's so difficult about eating a meal together?
If you don't know, stay silent, you ignorant woman.
Ignorant?
Dining with employees is...
all part of business management.
You're married to a chairman and you don't even know that?
Let's be honest, then.
Would you treat Il Jae like that if he were family?
You abuse him like you abuse me because he's an in-law.
You just ruined my appetite.
Did you have to say that?
Shut up!
I hate everyone with your surname.
I haven't...
heard from you lately.
The vice chairman's loyal to my father,
so forget about him.
Shouldn't I be informed of how things are going...
on a regular basis?
I apologise.
I was busy.
Listen, Director Byun.
You need to take me seriously.
Who do you have in the company?
No one acknowledges you as family,
and you have no support system.
You and I go way back, don't we?
Why not use me? Others would kill to use my influence.
Do I...
make you feel small?
The patent dispute.
Before you report it to my father,
report everything to me.
Do you get my drift?
Why won't you answer?
Yes, Sir.
Do I always have to be the one to make the effort?
Let's try to make things work.
Very soon,
you will come...
face-to-face with Gun Woo.
I'm not siding with you.
I'm creating my own side.
Are you going out?
That was fast.
Give me a ride if you have a car.
I've been thinking.
You have connections, don't you?
Who's looking out for you?
- Do you want to know? - None of the king nonsense.
He's Dodo Group's chairman.
You're extremely confident, so I think you're somewhat right.
Is it someone high up?
Believe it or not.
- Hello? - Where are you?
I'm about to leave.
I'm in Gangnam.
Come to the Cheongdam-dong coffee shop.
Okay.
That was Byun Il Jae's voice.
This contains SPD's secret strategy regarding a patent dispute.
There's no guarantee that...
this strategy will prevail in court.
I told the chairman that we stand a 50-50 chance of winning,
but I'm positive we will win.
This is a project that the chairman is very interested in.
Write up a report based on that,
and you will be noticed...
not only by your peers, but by everyone in the SPD.
In there...
is a company called "Owl".
It's a code name we made up.
It refers to...
a company called "I-One".
"I-One"?
Once the pot boils,
you should remove the firewood.
Call me...
if you have questions or need help.
(I-One)
This is too much.
After everything I did to get into the National Intelligence Service,
I'm doing the same to get into Dodo.
You're doing just fine.
Don't act so weak.
Do you have what I asked for?
SPD's security system is as secure as ours.
I can't get to anything.
Is that the best...
the NIS can do?
That's why we need you in there.
If you don't help me,
I might fail their training.
There's talk that Dodo Electronics is going to buy another company.
Which one?
I heard something about an owl.
Is that a company?
It must be their code name for it.
Either way,
it'll be a small company.
Good luck.
Why you...
If you're going to help me, then go all the way.
What's this owl?
(Dodo, Geukdong, I-One)
Once the pot boils,
you should remove the firewood.
"Remove the firewood"...
If Dodo Group buys I-One from Geukdong Electronics...
I-One has the licence to critical semiconductor technology.
Geukdong Electronics would collapse.
Then they would have to beg Dodo Group for help...
and offer to drop the lawsuit.
Byun Il Jae.
He really is the master of trickery.
Does this mean you have your assignment sorted out?
No. If we have the same topic, Gun Woo will get higher marks.
Byun Il Jae grades the papers.
You're right.
And there's no guarantee that Dodo Group will buy I-One.
This will be my Plan B.
I'll find something else to beat Gun Woo with.
- What? - I think the researcher...
is still alive.
I leave for a few days and everything becomes a mess.
Mr Min.
Mr Min!
Fire!
No. No.
No, no, no.
No...
You scared me.
No lawyer should have such a messy office.
You'll scare the clients away.
I don't care if I do.
I wish someone would come in the first place.
I should quit being a public defender.
My father slaughtered an ox to celebrate my passing the bar.
Did you read my email?
Don't ask me to work on cheap cases.
You didn't read it?
Gosh, you're so mean.
I asked you to look something up.
I spent a whole hour...
typing up an explanation...
It was an hour for you, but a day for me.
Oh Seung Deok.
He worked at Dodo Electronics' Mobile Communication Division.
I've included his personal files, what he did on the day he died...
and how the investigation went.
Mr Min. You're the best.
It's a pretty tough assignment.
Will a dead man's details get you anywhere?
I looked up all the similar cases,
and there was one in America.
But the person wasn't actually dead.
- What? - He faked his own death...
for a huge payment from the other company.
They didn't find the body...
of this guy, either.
Gosh. You'll never get in.
You're writing a novel right there.
Find him and put him on the stand,
and it's game over.
Do you know how much the chairman offered?
How much?
200,000 dollars.
- 200,000 dollars? - Yes.
So if you help me with this case,
I'll give you 10 percent. 20,000 dollars.
What do you say? Are you in?
There's no way I can bring the dead back to life.
I have made up my mind.
Mr Min, give me your car keys.
What for?
I need your car for a few days. Hurry.
What do you mean, Mr Park?
Why won't you sign the contract?
Have you forgotten how badly Geukdong Electronics...
treated you and your people?
I may be in financial difficulty,
but I can't betray Geukdong.
You must know that...
my offer is beyond generous.
I do know that,
and I am so very grateful. But...
I just can't do it.
Tell me what you want.
Let's go back...
to the drawing board.
I'm sorry.
Mr Park!
Long time no see, Mr Park.
Mr Hwang.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to see you.
Let's all sit down.
I'm sorry, Sir.
I have to go.
Park Sang Soo.
I said, sit.
How much...
is your debt?
I don't want to say.
I made a mistake.
You have some land...
that's been designated as a conservation zone.
- What if I cancel that? - What?
How many acres was that?
Anyway,
if you can sell the land,
you can sell the company.
Pay your debt,
sell your land and start a new company.
How does that sound?
Can you really cancel the conservation zone?
Back when...
I was the presidential secretary,
never once did I do anyone a favour.
This will be...
the first and last time.
I will...
stake my career on it...
and promise you.
If I can legally sell my land, there's no reason not to sell out.
I may not have...
as much money as Do Choong,
but I can make money change hands.
That is politics and power.
It's the power to lift some and crush others.
I will never forget what you did for me.
We only have a few years left.
If I am to become the president,
then Dodo Group...
has to become yours.
I understand.
Let's go and have some soju.
How is it going?
Way better than you.
Gosh, you picked a terrible team leader.
Why don't you join my team?
Why don't you join ours?
I'll give you all bear hugs.
My team mates won't budge.
I have a perfect strategy.
Gun Woo.
Don't try to pick a fight.
Let's go.
You're always welcome. I mean it.
- Will you really accept them? - Of course.
Gun Woo.
Why share the glory?
Gi Tan gets on my nerves.
I will crush him once and for all.
Have you eaten?
Why are we here?
What's Gi Tan's strategy?
Gosh. Why are you asking me that?
You want to join my team.
- I do not. - Then get going.
Promise me that...
when you print out your report,
you'll put my name after yours.
I hate Gi Tan. We don't get along.
I like you.
You don't have to.
Tell me what he's up to.
Right now,
he's looking for Oh Seung Deok.
Oh Seung Deok?
The dead researcher?
Yes. He thinks he's alive.
How can you find a dead man?
I should've joined Gun Woo's team.
It's a downward slope.
Oh Seung Deok drove at 80km per hour.
This is dangerous. Slow down.
His brakes...
malfunctioned.
Watch out.
- Dad! - What's wrong?
The brakes won't work.
Dad!
Step on the brakes!
Are you crazy?
Were you trying to kill us?
I was right.
Right about what?
Oh Seung Deok made a mistake.
Security footage shows that his brake lights were off.
He didn't step on the brakes because he needed the accident to happen.
He had to pretend to die.
Have... Have you lost your mind?
Hey! Get out of the car.
Get out right now!
Are you drunk or something?
Get out!
Gosh, my neck.
You...
It's you.
Hey, Oh Soo Yeon.
What are you going to do about this?
What about my car?
How are you going to pay me back?
Who told you to park here?
By the way, why are you here?
What about you?
Are you...
thinking what I'm thinking?
Do you...
think that Oh Seung Deok is still alive, too?
Gosh, why are we overlapping in ideas?
You.
Why do you think he's alive?
Well, that's...
Why do you think he's alive?
You don't have the evidence that he's alive, do you?
I see.
You didn't find the evidence yet, did you?
I'm a step ahead of you.
What is the evidence you found?
I'm not stupid. Why would I tell you?
If you tell me, I won't charge you for the accident.
Forget it. I'll just get my insurance company to cover for it.
How dare you try to rip us off after seeing a case example?
Think however way you want.
I'll see you back at camp.
I don't think Oh Seung Deok is dead.
Why are you here?
Let me join.
What?
Where did the bear hugs go?
I'm lonely and afraid I might get eliminated.
Spare me a bear hug, will you?
What are you doing?
