00:00The story begins with our main character, playing with a group of kids.
00:04A little girl wanted to take a picture with him, but as she got closer,
00:08people around noticed a strong, unpleasant smell.
00:11They immediately covered their noses, telling their mother,
00:14this snow-white smells like dad.
00:16The mother stepped in, grimacing as she couldn't bear the stench of alcohol.
00:20As expected, Park was sure he'd get scolded by his boss.
00:24Park and soon was a man nearing his 30s without a stable job,
00:27relying only on daily temp work.
00:30That day, he had an interview at a major company.
00:33He was so nervous that he forgot his own name.
00:36Just then, his phone rang. It was his mother.
00:39He quickly ran out of the waiting room to answer.
00:42She asked if he had remembered to drink seaweed soup,
00:45saying skipping it on such an important day would bring bad luck.
00:48As Park complained about her superstitions,
00:51he suddenly noticed an incredibly beautiful woman in front of him.
00:54For a moment, he was completely mesmerized.
00:57After snapping back to reality, Park asked what he should do next.
01:01Without hesitation, the woman led him to the restroom,
01:04took off her shirt, and told him to do the same.
01:07But she only wanted to swap shirts with him.
01:09When Park asked how he should return it,
01:11he peeked outside only to realize she was already long gone.
01:15Later, Park sat nervously in front of the interviewers.
01:18When they asked if he was feeling anxious,
01:20he replied,
01:21This is a big company.
01:23Of course, I feel some pressure.
01:25But the interviewer was blunt.
01:26Park had no qualifications,
01:28no certificates,
01:29and no experience.
01:31He had nothing.
01:32Still, everyone deserves a chance to work and gain experience.
01:36However, there was another problem.
01:37The shirt was too tight.
01:39As he shifted in his seat,
01:41the button suddenly popped off.
01:43One button flew straight into the interviewer's mouth.
01:46Unsurprisingly, Park didn't get the job.
01:48But that wasn't even the worst part.
01:50Since he was unemployed,
01:52his landlord refused to rent to him any longer.
01:55That evening, Park sat on the bus,
01:57scrolling through rental listings with a worried expression.
02:00On a different bus,
02:02sitting across from him,
02:03was Se-yeon the same woman he had met that morning.
02:06Se-yeon was the secretary of the boss
02:08at the company where Park had interviewed,
02:10but her life wasn't easy either.
02:12She had to take care of her bedridden mother,
02:14who was in a vegetative state
02:16and was drowning in debt, a massive $350,000.
02:20Meanwhile, Park was out drinking with his friend,
02:23venting about his disastrous interview.
02:25With no job and nowhere to live,
02:27his friend suggested moving in with him.
02:30But Park was considering returning to his hometown.
02:33After taking care of her mother,
02:35Se-yeon left the hospital,
02:36only to find a lone shark, Ma-Pai, waiting outside.
02:40Since she had no money to pay her debt,
02:42Ma-Pai took her to a bar to meet the madam.
02:44However, as soon as Se-yeon stepped into the room,
02:47the madam bluntly told Ma-Pai
02:48that she wasn't fit for the job.
02:50If she worked there, it would only cause trouble.
02:53The next day, Park followed through with his plan
02:55and returned to his rural hometown.
02:58He brought his parents a high-tech gift,
03:00an AI smart speaker from Chairman Kim Soon-Joo's company.
03:03Kim's artificial intelligence innovation
03:05had gained worldwide attention,
03:07threatening a major competitor's business.
03:09That evening, as Chairman Kim drove home alone,
03:12he got into a car accident.
03:14When he regained consciousness,
03:16he had mysteriously turned into a smartphone
03:18with only 15% battery left.
03:21Desperate, he sent out his location online,
03:24hoping someone would come to his rescue.
03:26But most social media users thought it was a joke,
03:29flooding the post with comments praising its creativity.
03:32The next day, as Park wandered through the countryside,
03:35he suddenly sensed something was off.
03:37He stopped in his tracks.
03:39There was a snake right at his feet.
03:40Before he could react, the snake bit him.
03:43Panicked, he flailed around before collapsing against a rock,
03:47regretting not being a better son to his parents.
03:50Just then, the phone beside him spoke in a man's voice.
03:53A second before the battery died,
03:55the phone called for an ambulance.
03:57When Park woke up, he was lying in a hospital bed,
04:00still groggy.
04:01He asked the doctor if the snake was venomous.
04:04The doctor chuckled and told him he had simply fainted from fear
04:07he could be discharged after finishing his IV drip.
04:10After being discharged, the man plugged in the phone to charge,
04:14and suddenly, it unlocked on its own.
04:16A voice spoke.
04:18Hello, I am Kim Soon-Joo, chairman of Silver Lining.
04:21The man scoffed.
04:22If you're the chairman, then I must be Steve Jobs,
04:25seeing that the man didn't believe him.
04:26Chairman Kim randomly displayed a bank account balance
04:29and told him to enter his own account number
04:31so he could transfer $700,000.
04:35Thinking to himself that his account
04:36didn't have much money anyway,
04:38the man figured he had nothing to lose and agreed.
04:41To his shock, his phone immediately received a notification.
04:45His account had been credited with $100,000,001.
04:48Completely stunned, the man froze.
04:50Chairman Kim then asked him for a favor.
04:52He needed him to go to the company
04:54and act as the chairman in his place.
04:56But Park thought it was all a joke.
04:58To test whether the money was real or fake,
05:00he pulled out his phone
05:02and ordered a pair of headphones
05:03he had been wanting for a long time.
05:05To his surprise, the order went through instantly.
05:08Excited, he ran outside,
05:10finally having a realization.
05:12When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
05:14So, he seized the opportunity
05:16and decided to take on the role of chairman.
05:19Later, Park told his parents
05:20he had landed a job at a big company.
05:23His mother hugged him tightly,
05:25overwhelmed with emotion.
05:26Meanwhile, elsewhere,
05:27a man was searching for something with a flashlight.
05:30The next day, before leaving,
05:33Park transferred $350,000 to his father.
05:36Shocked by the huge sum,
05:38his father suddenly felt uneasy.
05:40His mother questioned where the money had come from,
05:43and Park had no choice but to lie,
05:45saying it was a refunded housing deposit.
05:47Returning to the city,
05:49the first thing Park did was hit the mall
05:51to buy brand new clothes,
05:52followed by a long, relaxing soak in the bathtub
05:55and a lavish meal.
05:57The next day, Park arrived at the company
05:59in a luxury car.
06:01As soon as he stepped into the lobby,
06:03he was greeted by a line of staff members.
06:05To his surprise, among them was the same interviewer
06:08who had previously rejected him,
06:10and Se-yeon, the woman he had met before.
06:13Thrilled to see her again, Park lit up,
06:15but Se-yeon remained cold and indifferent.
06:18Without a word, she led him to his office.
06:21Standing at the door,
06:22Park couldn't help but burst into laughter.
06:24His dream of becoming a CEO had finally come true.
06:27Later, the interviewer approached him,
06:30apologizing for his mistake.
06:32Pointing at his balding head,
06:33he joked about failing to recognize a golden opportunity.
06:36To make up for it,
06:38he even offered Park a new secretary,
06:40but Park immediately shut that down.
06:42He says, as long as I work here,
06:44my personal secretary is Se-yeon.
06:46No replacements.
06:47What Park didn't know was that Se-yeon
06:49was drowning in debt
06:50after taking out a high-interest loan from Ma-Pai.
06:52The debt was a never-ending pit,
06:55one she could never fully repay.
06:57Things got even worse
06:58when Ma-Pai showed up at the company looking for her.
07:01Meanwhile, a high-ranking official reported to his boss.
07:04Upon hearing that the new general manager
07:06was just some inexperienced young man,
07:09the boss leaned back in his chair and laughed smugly.
07:12Back in his office,
07:13Park still couldn't believe any of this was real.
07:16Checking his phone,
07:17he saw it was already 6 p.m. the moment work hours ended.
07:20He left for the day.
07:22Driving the luxury car,
07:23he headed to Chairman Kim's mansion.
07:25Suddenly, another car sped past him.
07:28Chairman Kim's voice commanded,
07:30Chase it.
07:31The driver of the speeding car
07:32was their neighborhood's butler,
07:34Sim.
07:34Chairman Kim then instructed Park
07:36to quickly go inside and retrieve a file bag.
07:39But just as he reached the door,
07:41the lights suddenly turned on,
07:43startling Park so much
07:44that he ran around in circles in panic.
07:46Chairman Kim instructed,
07:47go through the side door.
07:49He carefully making his way upstairs,
07:51Park finally reached the office after much effort.
07:54But when he opened the safe,
07:56it was empty.
07:57Meanwhile,
07:58the housekeeper,
07:59sensing something off,
08:00slowly approached the office.
08:02However,
08:02when she opened the door,
08:04there was nothing there.
08:05Once she left,
08:06Park exhaled in relief.
08:07Then,
08:08he checked his phone
08:09and saw a new message.
08:11The phone belongs to you.
08:12Park asked,
08:13Are you really Chairman Kim?
08:15Kim Soon-Joo confidently confirmed,
08:16adding,
08:17If there was another Chairman Kim,
08:19he wouldn't just sit by
08:20and watch the company
08:21fall into the wrong hands.
08:23Besides,
08:24whoever sent that message
08:25might have been testing Park.
08:26Back at home,
08:27Chairman Kim assisted Park with his work
08:29while Park relaxed in a bath.
08:32Later,
08:32Park asked if Chairman Kim
08:34could track an unidentified phone number.
08:36But Kim replied that his computer
08:37was too outdated.
08:39Instead,
08:40he suggested that Park stay at his house,
08:42explaining that hotels might be bugged.
08:44Park exclaimed,
08:45But this place isn't fit for human living.
08:48Are you seriously sending me
08:49to stay at Chairman Kim's house?
08:51That's basically a palace.
08:53This made him think of his father
08:54tipping the driver
08:55and his mother happily firing the housekeeper.
08:58Their family was living a blissful,
09:00paradise-like life.
09:02But reality hit when the doorbell rang.
09:04It was his best friend.
09:05Together,
09:06they went to the night market
09:07for a late-night snack.
09:09Meanwhile,
09:10Se-yeon was drinking alone,
09:12lost in thought about
09:12her earlier conversation with Sim.
09:15Sim had asked if she knew
09:16where Chairman Kim had gone.
09:17But Se-yeon insisted
09:19she didn't know anything.
09:20Park returned to his room late,
09:22and Chairman Kim scolded him
09:23for not coming back on time.
09:25Park explained that his friends
09:27had pressured him into drinking.
09:29Kim reminded him
09:29that during the contract period,
09:32no private meetings with others.
09:33While Park was out,
09:35Chairman Kim had informed Sim
09:36and the housekeeper
09:37that Park would be staying at the mansion.
09:39However,
09:40the real challenge was Mina,
09:42Kim's daughter.
09:43She was highly sensitive to strangers
09:45and struggled to open up to people.
09:47To break the ice,
09:49Park dressed up as Snow White
09:50and Mina chased him around
09:52with a fishing net.
09:53When she finally caught up to him,
09:55she told Park he was different.
09:57She said,
09:58All my dad's other friends
09:59just give me pocket money,
10:00but you're the first one
10:01to actually play with me.
10:03Later,
10:03the housekeeper took Park
10:05to Chairman Kim's office.
10:06As she left,
10:07she kept glancing back at him
10:09before making a phone call.
10:10At the same time,
10:12Se-Yun received a message
10:13while watching TV.
10:14A baseball player selection show
10:16was airing
10:17and a woman sitting in the boss's chair
10:19asked Se-Yun to pick a player.
10:21I don't know much about baseball,
10:23Se-Yun admitted.
10:24The woman replied,
10:25It doesn't matter who you pick.
10:27What matters is
10:27who is making the decision.
10:29Then,
10:30she asked Se-Yun,
10:31If you had to choose,
10:32would you pick Chairman Kim or Park?
10:34Not long ago,
10:35Park had been considering
10:36using $700,000
10:38to buy a house in Seoul,
10:40but Chairman Kim told him
10:41that $700,000 wasn't enough.
10:44Kim advised,
10:45If you really want $7 million,
10:47you need to find out
10:48who sent that message fast.
10:50He suggested tracing the phone number.
10:52Today was a perfect opportunity.
10:54At the company,
10:55each employee's phone
10:56was labeled with a name tag
10:58and placed in a box
10:59before the meeting.
11:00Standing before the group,
11:02Park announced,
11:02Recently,
11:03Many people have been using their phones
11:05to record conversations.
11:07I hope you all understand.
11:09Due to trade secrets,
11:10we need to prevent this.
11:11After everyone submitted their phones,
11:13the meeting began.
11:15Park secretly pulled out his phone
11:16and dialed the number
11:17that had sent the message.
11:19A ringtone sounded.
11:20He quickly checked the phone,
11:22but it had no name tag.
11:23Se-Yun noticed Park searching for something.
11:26Just then,
11:27the Vice Chairman entered the room.
11:29Park immediately greeted him
11:30before dismissing everyone
11:32for a tea break.
11:33As the employees retrieved their phones
11:35and left the room,
11:36Park recounted everything
11:37to Chairman Kim.
11:39Kim immediately realized the problem.
11:41The phone must have been nameless
11:42from the start.
11:43The Vice Chairman's sudden arrival
11:45was no coincidence.
11:47It was likely a rescue mission
11:48to protect the real sender.
11:50Faced with such a powerful opponent,
11:52Park began to feel uneasy.
11:54He couldn't always wear earphones,
11:56meaning Chairman Kim
11:57wouldn't always be able to guide him.
11:59Just then,
12:00Se-Yun approached.
12:00She said the Vice Chairman
12:02is looking for you.
12:03After Park left,
12:04Se-Yun hesitated for a moment.
12:06Then,
12:07she tore a piece of paper
12:08with her name on it
12:09and threw it into the trash.
12:11On the way home,
12:12Se-Yun noticed that Park
12:13was always using his phone,
12:15constantly reporting something
12:17to someone.
12:18She kept a close eye
12:19on his actions.
12:20Suddenly,
12:21Park's phone rang.
12:22He quickly answered it,
12:23then immediately hung up
12:24and put it away.
12:26Se-Yun glanced at him
12:27suspiciously.
12:28She asked,
12:29Do you have two phones?
12:30She had noticed
12:31he always wore wireless earphones,
12:33as if he were secretly
12:34reporting to someone.
12:36Without waiting for an answer,
12:37she suddenly floored the gas pedal,
12:39making the car speed down the road.
12:41After stopping abruptly,
12:43she turned to Park.
12:44Did you capture Chairman Kim?
12:46She demanded.
12:47Park hesitated.
12:48Se-Yun reached into his bag
12:49and pulled out a phone case.
12:51It was identical
12:52to the one on his phone.
12:53Just then,
12:54Chairman Kim's phone
12:55unlocked automatically
12:57and dialed Se-Yun.
12:58At that moment,
12:59a car came speeding toward them.
13:01Park finally revealed the truth.
13:03But Se-Yun remained skeptical,
13:05she asked.
13:06So you're telling me
13:07Chairman Kim is trapped
13:08inside a phone?
13:09Park replied,
13:10in the CPU cores.
13:12Though shocked,
13:13Se-Yun had no choice
13:14but to believe him.
13:15The next day,
13:16Se-Yun picked Park up for work.
13:18He handed her an earpiece
13:19to communicate with Chairman Kim,
13:21saying,
13:22We're a team now.
13:23Seeing her struggle
13:24to put it on,
13:25Park leaned in to help,
13:26momentarily captivated
13:27by her beautiful profile.
13:29On the way,
13:30Se-Yun asked how long Park
13:31had known Chairman Kim.
13:33Park jokingly said
13:34it was like a TV drama,
13:36Cinderella meeting her prince.
13:38But Chairman Kim
13:38wasn't as amused.
13:40He noted that Se-Yun
13:41seemed unreliable,
13:42as he couldn't remember
13:43what happened before
13:44and after their encounter.
13:45Se-Yun explained
13:46that after leaving Chairman Kim,
13:48she had received a message
13:49from the hospital
13:50about her mother's
13:51deteriorating health.
13:52She rushed over,
13:53only to find her mother stable,
13:55unaware that someone
13:56had been watching her
13:57from outside.
13:58At the company,
13:59wanting to prove her innocence,
14:01Se-Yun handed her phone
14:02to Park for inspection.
14:04After confirming
14:04there was nothing suspicious,
14:06Chairman Kim asked
14:07what had happened
14:08on the day of his incident.
14:09Se-Yun admitted
14:10that Senior Officer Quack
14:12had tried to contact her,
14:13seemingly attempting
14:14to drive a wedge
14:15between her and Chairman Kim,
14:17despite his thinning hair.
14:18Chairman Kim knew Quack
14:19was highly ambitious
14:20and had a clear target in mind.
14:23Determined to investigate,
14:24the duo confidently
14:25approached the company,
14:26ready to inspect
14:27Senior Officer Quack's phone,
14:29computer,
14:30and memory cards.
14:31Park played his part
14:32while Se-Yun secretly
14:33checked the officer's phone.
14:35Unexpectedly,
14:36the phone rang.
14:37Disguised as a janitor,
14:39Park planned to sneak
14:40into the officer's office,
14:42but was recognized
14:42by a few cleaning ladies.
14:44Their next target
14:45was Quack's small car,
14:46but they accidentally
14:47triggered the alarm.
14:49Se-Yun ran off.
14:50A full day passed
14:51with no progress,
14:52so they devised
14:53a bolder plan,
14:54crashing into Quack's car.
14:56When he stepped out
14:57to confront them,
14:58he was greeted
14:58by the chairman
14:59and his secretary.
15:01Forced to keep his composure,
15:02Quack awkwardly smiled
15:03and said,
15:04it's fine,
15:05as they talked.
15:06Se-Yun suddenly
15:07revorced the car.
15:08If Quack hadn't dodged
15:10in time,
15:10he might have ended up
15:11like Chairman Kim,
15:12getting out of the car.
15:14Se-Yun repeatedly apologized,
15:15claiming she had meant
15:16to drive forward.
15:18Park then suggested,
15:19why don't you take
15:20a taxi with me
15:21and leave the car
15:21with Se-Yun?
15:22Reluctantly,
15:23Quack handed over his keys.
15:25As soon as they left,
15:26Se-Yun retrieved
15:27the dash cam's memory card
15:29and checked it
15:29on her phone.
15:30Meanwhile,
15:31the vice chairman
15:32had invited numerous reporters
15:33to a press conference
15:35without Park's knowledge.
15:36Though Park smiled brightly,
15:38he felt extremely anxious.
15:40Through his earpiece,
15:41Chairman Kim warned,
15:42these reporters
15:43are all close
15:44to the vice chairman.
15:45If you fumble
15:46even one question,
15:47your nervous image
15:48will be broadcast nationwide.
15:50The conference began
15:51and the first question
15:53came fast.
15:54How did a university student
15:55under 30 become chairman?
15:57Guided by Chairman Kim,
15:59Park responded smoothly,
16:00redirecting the focus
16:01onto the vice chairman,
16:02who only had
16:03a high school diploma.
16:05He emphasized
16:05that leadership
16:06wasn't about age
16:07or education,
16:08but about capability.
16:10Noticing something unusual
16:11about Park's earpiece,
16:13the vice chairman approached
16:14and removed it
16:14under the guise
16:15of questioning
16:16why the chairman
16:16of Silver Lining
16:17was using a competitor's product.
16:19A reporter then asked
16:20about AI advancements,
16:22specifically concerns
16:23that AI could cause
16:24mass job losses
16:25or even become uncontrollable.
16:27Park said dramatically,
16:28I'll be back.
16:29Not long ago,
16:30Park had asked Chairman Kim
16:32why the company
16:32was named Silver Lining.
16:34Kim had responded cryptically,
16:36Have you seen Terminator?
16:37Inspired by that,
16:39Park began rambling
16:40in a serious tone,
16:41unexpectedly electrifying
16:43the audience.
16:44In that moment,
16:45he became the center
16:46of attention.
16:47Meanwhile,
16:48Se-Yun continued
16:48watching the dash cam footage,
16:50completely unaware
16:51of Chairman Kim's meeting
16:52with Executive Quack.
16:54Later,
16:54Chairman Kim praised
16:55Park's performance.
16:57Just then,
16:57Park's other phone rang.
16:59When he turned around,
17:00he saw director
17:01O-Miran calling.
17:02Upon meeting her,
17:03Miran revealed
17:04that she had
17:05the same habit as Park,
17:06collecting everyone's phones
17:08for confidentiality
17:09during conversations.
17:10Park handed his phone
17:11to her secretary.
17:13Miran continued,
17:14pointing out
17:14the striking similarities
17:15in how Park
17:16and Chairman Kim spoke.
17:18Though she wasn't aware
17:19of any agreement
17:20between them,
17:21she warned Park
17:21not to trust Chairman Kim
17:22too much,
17:23as he had once broken
17:24an agreement with her.
17:26After returning home,
17:27Se-Yun informed
17:28Chairman Kim
17:28about the dash cam
17:29recording of his meeting
17:30with Executive Quack,
17:32a visibly nervous
17:33Chairman Kim claimed
17:34he had no memory of it.
17:35The next day,
17:36using dash cam footage
17:38from Executive Quack's car,
17:39Se-Yun identified a location
17:41and arrived at
17:42a deserted wasteland.
17:43Suddenly,
17:44a black car sped toward her.
17:45Inside was Miran.
17:47Miran assumed Park
17:48had sent someone
17:49to investigate her
17:50and reminded Se-Yun
17:51that Park possessed
17:52Chairman Kim's phone,
17:53implying she should
17:54tread carefully.
17:55As Se-Yun drove away,
17:56Miran and the vice chairman
17:58reflected on the past.
18:00The vice chairman remarked
18:01that Miran
18:01wouldn't be suitable
18:02as chairman,
18:03as the company
18:04would have to adopt
18:05her husband's surname
18:06if they married.
18:07That same day,
18:08Park accidentally
18:09dropped the phone
18:10into the toilet.
18:11Panicked,
18:12he quickly fished it out
18:13and desperately performed
18:14emergency CPR on it.
18:16But nothing worked.
18:17With no other option,
18:19Park rushed to a repair shop,
18:21picturing the phone
18:21being prepped for surgery
18:22on an operating table.
18:24Later,
18:25he told Se-Yun
18:26about the chairman's
18:26unfortunate fall
18:27into the toilet.
18:28As they discussed
18:29the phone repair,
18:30a man suddenly rushed
18:31toward them.
18:32Se-Yun immediately
18:33recognized him.
18:34It was Ma Pai,
18:35the lone shark
18:36she owed $350,000.
18:39She pleaded with him,
18:40arguing that her death
18:41would be a bigger loss
18:42for him.
18:42Just as Ma Pai
18:43was about to get physical,
18:45Park stepped in,
18:46promising to pay off
18:47the debt.
18:48Back at the company,
18:49Se-Yun confronted Park,
18:51asking why he had
18:51helped her.
18:52Park explained that
18:53Chairman Kim
18:54had spoken highly of her,
18:55calling her an excellent
18:56and discreet employee,
18:58someone so capable
18:59that she had become
19:00the youngest
19:00general secretary.
19:01He also mentioned
19:02her kindness
19:03and warmth.
19:04His words struck a chord,
19:05unlocking emotions
19:06Se-Yun had kept
19:08bottled up for so long.
19:09That night,
19:10she broke down in tears
19:11by her mother's
19:12hospital bed.
19:13Meanwhile,
19:14Park had a nightmare
19:15about the company's
19:16downfall under his
19:17leadership,
19:17causing countless
19:18employees to lose
19:19their jobs.
19:20He woke up in a panic,
19:22just as his father called.
19:23From that moment on,
19:24he resolved to truly
19:25become a competent chairman.
19:27At the same time,
19:28the vice chairman
19:29received word
19:30that Chairman Kim's phone
19:31had been found,
19:32currently being repaired
19:33by Park.
19:34Luckily,
19:35the phone was fully
19:36restored the next day.
19:37Back at the company,
19:38Park brought the revived
19:39Chairman Kim back to work.
19:41As they reviewed
19:42the dash cam footage,
19:43Chairman Kim spotted
19:44a suspicious car
19:45tailing him.
19:46They needed to track it down.
19:48Park's investigation
19:49revealed that the car
19:50had fake plates
19:51and wasn't registered
19:52in any system.
19:53Chairman Kim decided
19:54they needed to revisit
19:55the scene of the incident.
19:57They parked at the base
19:58of the mountain
19:58and hiked to the top.
20:00By the time they arrived
20:01at the spot where
20:02Park had originally
20:03found Chairman Kim's phone,
20:05night had fallen.
20:06Just then,
20:07two figures appeared
20:07in the distance.
20:08Park quickly pulled
20:09Se-yeon aside to hide.
20:11Looking closer,
20:12they realized
20:13it was Park's parents.
20:14Back home,
20:15Park lied,
20:16saying they had just
20:17happened to pass by
20:18and decided to visit.
20:20His parents welcomed
20:21Se-yeon with open arms.
20:22The whole family
20:23gathered for a meal
20:24of bibimbap,
20:25chatting happily.
20:26Every now and then,
20:27Park's mother
20:28playfully scolded him,
20:29which reminded Se-yeon
20:30of her own mother.
20:31It brought back memories
20:33of sitting down for meals
20:34with her when she was
20:35still healthy.
20:36Overcome with nostalgia,
20:37Se-yeon couldn't hold
20:38back her tears.
20:40After dinner,
20:40Park and Se-yeon
20:42drove off.
20:42Watching them leave,
20:44Park's parents were
20:45already making wedding
20:46plans in their heads.
20:47On the way back,
20:48they noticed a car
20:49tailing them,
20:50the same one with
20:51license plate 4885
20:52they had been searching for.
20:54Park pulled into
20:55a rest area,
20:56the suspicious car
20:57following closely behind.
20:59They got out to investigate,
21:00but found the vehicle empty.
21:02Suddenly,
21:03a man emerged.
21:04It was Team Leader Nom
21:05from the conglomerate's
21:06business division,
21:07the same person
21:08who had given Park
21:09a hard time on his first day.
21:10A group of men
21:11in black suits approached.
21:13Sensing danger,
21:14Park urged Se-yeon
21:15to get back into the car,
21:16silently praying for the best,
21:18but they were outnumbered.
21:19Park was beaten badly,
21:21just as they were about
21:22to be taken away.
21:23Another car screeched
21:24to a stop.
21:25Desperate,
21:26Park ran toward it for help,
21:27only to find Ma-Pai inside.
21:29Seeing this,
21:30the attackers redirected
21:32their aggression toward Ma-Pai,
21:34smashing his car.
21:35Enraged,
21:36Ma-Pai retaliated,
21:37taking down the nearest thug
21:39with a single punch.
21:40The rest of them
21:41never stood a chance.
21:42Within moments,
21:43they were all sprawled
21:44on the ground.
21:45Nom lunged at Ma-Pai
21:46with a switchblade,
21:48but ended up with the blade
21:49buried in his own chest
21:50from behind.
21:51Park had struck Nom
21:52with a wooden plank.
21:53Just then,
21:54Se-Yoon pulled up.
21:55Ma-Pai shoved Nom
21:56toward her,
21:57then proceeded to tie him up
21:59and demand answers.
22:00Nom finally broke.
22:02He admitted,
22:02Chairman Kim.
22:03He's the mastermind.
22:05Hearing Chairman Kim's name
22:06sent Park reeling,
22:07but Chairman Kim
22:08remained firm.
22:09He's lying.
22:10Just then,
22:11a knock on the door
22:12interrupted their conversation.
22:14On the other side,
22:15powerful figures gathered,
22:16with luxury cars
22:17lining up outside the hospital.
22:19Chairwoman G
22:20of the Bum Yong Group
22:21had passed away.
22:22Just as Park and Se-Yoon
22:23were released from custody,
22:25they saw the news
22:26and rushed out
22:27of the police station.
22:28Meanwhile,
22:29Chairman Kim assigned Se-Yoon
22:30the task of retrieving
22:31Nam's personnel file
22:32while he attended the funeral.
22:34Even though Park wasn't sure
22:35who was backing Nom,
22:37he knew they would pressure
22:38the police to get him released.
22:40Remembering a favor owed,
22:41he asked a friend
22:42to keep an eye on Nom.
22:44At the funeral,
22:45Miran approached Park,
22:46asking about Baro
22:47for points zero,
22:48something he knew
22:49nothing about.
22:50When he confronted
22:51Chairman Kim about it,
22:52the response was cryptic.
22:54It's better if you don't know.
22:55A sense of Unnie
22:56settled over Park.
22:57Later,
22:58he called his mother,
22:59admitting that despite
23:00how far he had come
23:01on this path,
23:02he still felt lost.
23:03But after the call,
23:04a new resolve took over him.
23:06Just as he got back
23:07to his car,
23:08his friend called.
23:09Nom had been spotted
23:10on the subway.
23:11Park immediately gave chase.
23:13Chairman Kim confirmed
23:14Nam's phone signal
23:15was still pinging
23:16at the station.
23:17Park scanned the area
23:18and finally spotted him.
23:20As the pursuit intensified,
23:21Nom bumped into a woman,
23:23sending her baby stroller
23:24rolling away.
23:25The woman screamed.
23:27Park couldn't just stand by.
23:28He lunged forward,
23:30barely managing
23:30to catch the stroller.
23:32But by the time
23:32he emerged from the station,
23:34Nom had vanished,
23:35leaving only his phone behind.
23:37Chairman Kim was furious,
23:39but Park stood his ground.
23:40He had no choice
23:41and would do the same again
23:43if needed.
23:43Kim admitted
23:44he never regretted
23:45his decisions
23:46and didn't want Park
23:47to be his first.
23:48As for the mysterious
23:49borrow for Point Zero,
23:51it turned out to be
23:52a self-driving car system.
23:53Meanwhile,
23:54Se-Yun arrived at Park's house
23:56with Nam's file.
23:57As she examined the documents,
23:59Park appeared behind her.
24:00The next day at the company,
24:02Park told Chairman Kim
24:03they needed a bodyguard,
24:04someone not just skilled
24:05in combat,
24:06but well-rounded.
24:08Just as the elevator doors opened,
24:10Mop-Eye dramatically
24:11pinned someone down,
24:12showcasing his skills.
24:14Park,
24:14with a satisfied smirk,
24:16led him into his office
24:17and offered him
24:18the bodyguard position.
24:19Se-Yun,
24:20however,
24:21objected,
24:21calling Mop-Eye a loose cannon
24:23who couldn't tell
24:24right from wrong.
24:25But Park argued
24:26that at the very least,
24:27Mop-Eye had proven
24:28he wasn't on the enemy's side.
24:30After all,
24:31he had roughed up Nam.
24:32After some negotiation,
24:33Mop-Eye signed a contract
24:35at four times
24:35his initial offer.
24:37Their first stop
24:37was Nam's address.
24:39After knocking repeatedly
24:40with no answer,
24:41Mop-Eye lost patience
24:42and started climbing
24:43down the building.
24:44But Park quickly realized
24:46they had the wrong place.
24:47Their next lead
24:48took them to a shady shop
24:50selling burner phones.
24:51The owner sized them up
24:52and asked how much
24:53they could pay.
24:54Se-Yun explained
24:55they just needed
24:56a number traced,
24:57but the owner
24:58wasn't impressed
24:59and turned them away.
25:00That is,
25:01until Mop-Eye
25:02made his entrance.
25:03Suddenly,
25:03the owner's attitude changed.
25:05Unfortunately,
25:06the traced number
25:07hadn't been activated
25:08at their shop.
25:09Their next stop
25:10was Nam's old school,
25:11but privacy policies
25:13blocked them
25:13from accessing
25:14any information.
25:15Undeterred,
25:16Mop-Eye,
25:17surprisingly professional,
25:18went straight
25:19to the records room.
25:20But even there,
25:21Nam's information
25:22was missing.
25:23His address,
25:24contact details,
25:25even his education history,
25:26it had all been fabricated.
25:28Meanwhile,
25:29Nam had found himself
25:30a comfortable hideout,
25:32leaving Park and Se-Yun
25:33back at the company,
25:34frustrated and confused.
25:36But Park had no idea
25:37trouble was about
25:38to come knocking,
25:39literally.
25:40His parents had come
25:41to visit.
25:42Panic set in,
25:43he turned to Se-Yun,
25:44insisting they couldn't
25:45let his parents find out
25:46about the missing phone,
25:48Chairman Kim's situation,
25:49or his new leadership role.
25:51He exclaimed,
25:52My father will think
25:53I've lost it
25:53and have me committed.
25:55Just as the elevator doors
25:56opened,
25:57Park froze.
25:58His father questioned
25:59why he was in
26:00the chairman's office.
26:01Se-Yun quickly stepped in,
26:03smoothly explaining
26:04that she was Park's superior.
26:06Surprisingly,
26:07Park's parents
26:08were understanding,
26:08and even apologized
26:10for interrupting.
26:11Park gave them
26:12a quick office tour,
26:13discreetly hiding
26:14nameplates along the way.
26:15His father pressed him
26:16about what he was
26:17actually doing there,
26:19but Se-Yun quickly
26:19offered them tea
26:20to change the subject.
26:22Meanwhile,
26:22Park's mother mentioned
26:23they only planned
26:24to drop off some apples
26:26before heading back home.
26:27Just then,
26:28Executive Quack arrived.
26:30Park quickly ushered him out,
26:31handing him the apples
26:32as a gift.
26:33Executive Quack remarked,
26:35My family hasn't visited
26:36in eight years.
26:37Park quipped back,
26:38then give them
26:39to the vice chairman.
26:40Finally,
26:41his parents left,
26:42with his mother
26:43discreetly slipping him
26:44some cash
26:44before they boarded
26:45the bus home.
26:46During the ride,
26:48Park's father,
26:48who had spent his entire life
26:50working on a farm,
26:51was overcome with pride
26:52at his son's
26:53supposed success.
26:54He couldn't hold back
26:55his tears.
26:56True to his word,
26:57Executive Quack
26:58presented the apples
26:59to the vice chairman.
27:00Claiming they were
27:01a heartfelt gift from Park,
27:02the vice chairman chuckled,
27:04assuming there was
27:05something more to the gift.
27:06But when he opened the box,
27:07he found only apples.
27:09That evening,
27:10Park and Se-yeon
27:11discussed Teen Leader Nam,
27:13unaware that someone
27:14was secretly listening in.
27:15The next day,
27:17Chairman Kim's family
27:18invited them
27:18on a camping trip
27:19to celebrate
27:20his daughter's birthday.
27:21While everyone else
27:22enjoyed the festivities,
27:24Ma-Pai sat alone,
27:25slurping down
27:26instant noodles.
27:27Later that night,
27:28after putting
27:29Chairman Kim's daughter
27:30to bed,
27:31Se-yeon received a call
27:32about her mother's
27:33VIP hospital service,
27:34which was set to end
27:35next month.
27:36Seeking comfort,
27:37she took a quiet walk
27:38along the beach.
27:40When she returned,
27:41she found Park deep in thought.
27:43As they talked,
27:43Park asked her
27:44about her dreams.
27:45Se-yeon admitted
27:46that reality had forced her
27:48to abandon them,
27:49excusing herself
27:50to use the restroom.
27:51She left her earphones behind.
27:53Meanwhile,
27:54Park,
27:55holding a beer,
27:56was on a call
27:56with Chairman Kim
27:57when his daughter
27:58suddenly woke up.
27:59Spotting Se-yeon's earphones,
28:01she reached for them.
28:02The moment she put them in,
28:04a familiar voice,
28:05her father's,
28:06filled her ears.
28:07Tears streamed down her face
28:08as she called out for him.
28:10Se-yeon rushed to comfort her.
28:12With his voice thick with emotion,
28:14Park spoke to Chairman Kim.
28:15Now we have another reason
28:16to catch the real culprit.
28:18After the camping trip,
28:19their investigation
28:20into Nam continued.
28:22Surveillance footage showed
28:23that he always arrived
28:24and left alone.
28:26That's when Park remembered
28:27the company's many clubs.
28:28A quick search by Chairman Kim
28:30revealed that Nam
28:31was a member
28:31of the hiking club,
28:33the only trace of himself
28:34he had left behind.
28:35Just as they were preparing
28:36to investigate,
28:38Executive Quack appeared,
28:39whisking Park away
28:40to attend the opening ceremony
28:42of Bumyeon Group's
28:43new sports complex,
28:44leaving Se-yeon
28:45to continue her digging.
28:46The leader of the hiking club
28:48described Nam
28:48as an enigma,
28:50someone who kept to himself
28:51and never participated
28:52in activities.
28:54At the ceremony,
28:55Miran announced
28:55the upcoming launch
28:56of their driverless car,
28:58news that caught Park off guard.
28:59But when he confronted Miran,
29:02she brushed it off,
29:03assuring him
29:03that all he needed to do
29:05was play his part.
29:06Meanwhile,
29:07the vice chairman,
29:08watching from the sidelines,
29:09was surprised
29:10by Chairman Kim's absence.
29:12He questioned,
29:13how can they launch
29:14Borrow for Point Zero
29:15without him?
29:16Back at the office,
29:17Se-yeon meticulously mapped out
29:18the dates
29:19of Nam's hiking trips.
29:21Chairman Kim suddenly realized
29:22that these dates coincided
29:24with the review sessions
29:25for Borrow for Point Zero.
29:27Se-yeon quickly pieced it together.
29:28Nam had been using those hikes
29:30as a cover to leak information.
29:32Even more suspiciously,
29:33Executive Quack had been present
29:35on all of those dates as well.
29:37Determined to get answers,
29:39Park invited Executive Quack out
29:40for a casual noodle lunch,
29:42subtly probing him
29:43about Nam's whereabouts.
29:45But Quack,
29:46staying tight-lipped,
29:47revealed nothing,
29:48leaving Park empty-handed.
29:50Ma Pie suggested
29:51a more forceful approach,
29:52but Se-yeon worried
29:53it would backfire.
29:54Later,
29:55at a restaurant,
29:56Park tried to mediate
29:57between Ma Pie and Se-yeon,
29:59but the tension between them
30:00ran deep.
30:01Se-yeon saw Ma Pie
30:02as completely clueless,
30:04while Ma Pie remained
30:05skeptical of her.
30:06Frustrated,
30:07Park could only watch
30:08as they stormed off
30:09in opposite directions.
30:11Lamenting the situation
30:12to Chairman Kim,
30:13Park called it
30:14a tricky dynamic.
30:15But ever the pragmatist,
30:17Chairman Kim dismissed it
30:18as your personal problem.
30:20As their food arrived,
30:21Park received a call
30:22from his friend.
30:23His paycheck had landed.
30:24The large sum
30:25momentarily dazzled him.
30:27Se-yeon received hers as well,
30:28a combined total
30:29exceeding $485,000.
30:32But after paying
30:33hospital bills
30:34and covering her mother's
30:35caretaker expenses,
30:37reality hit hard.
30:38A sigh escaped her lips
30:39as she realized
30:40that after all the deductions,
30:42she was left with only $140.
30:45Ever thoughtful,
30:46Park later brought
30:46a watermelon to the hospital.
30:48Meanwhile,
30:49with the launch
30:49of Bum Young's
30:50self-driving car
30:51boosting stock prices,
30:52the vice chairman
30:53grew concerned
30:54about his niece Miran
30:55securing the chairman position.
30:57He decided
30:57it was time
30:58for a meeting
30:59with Chairman Park.
31:00Meanwhile,
31:01Park,
31:01out on a shopping spree
31:03with his friend,
31:04came across
31:04a display of white shirts.
31:06A sudden wave
31:07of inspiration hit him
31:08and he immediately
31:09bought one,
31:10intending it
31:10as a gift for Se-yeon.
31:12Back at Chairman Kim's villa,
31:14as Ma-Pi
31:14was about to leave,
31:16Park stopped him,
31:17finally asking
31:17for his name.
31:18Before Ma-Pi
31:19could respond,
31:20the housekeeper interjected,
31:22revealing his past
31:23as a former mob enforcer.
31:25Chairman Kim's daughter,
31:26intrigued by Ma-Pi,
31:27approached him,
31:28only to be quickly
31:29pulled away
31:29by the housekeeper,
31:31who warned her
31:31against associating
31:32with dangerous people.
31:33The next day,
31:35Park gifted the white shirt
31:36to Se-yeon.
31:37Later,
31:37when he returned home,
31:39he invited Ma-Pi inside,
31:40but Ma-Pi refused,
31:42opting to stay in the car.
31:43Undeterred,
31:44Park left behind
31:45the gifts
31:45he had bought for him,
31:47a small gesture
31:48that touched Ma-Pi.
31:49Park had also picked up
31:50gifts for his parents,
31:52a floral dress
31:52for his mother,
31:53beef,
31:54and a pair of air glasses
31:55for his father,
31:56so he could watch
31:57his favorite singer
31:58perform live.
31:59Beaming with pride,
32:00Park's father eagerly
32:01showed off his gifts
32:02to everyone in the village.
32:04Suddenly,
32:05Park's phone rang.
32:06It was Chairman Kim,
32:07inspired by Park's
32:08earlier actions.
32:10Kim had come up
32:10with a plan
32:11to expose
32:11Executive Quack.
32:13The setup began
32:14with Park inviting
32:15Quack out for a meal.
32:16Quack,
32:17thinking nothing of it,
32:18suggested grabbing
32:19a simple coffee
32:20as a thank you,
32:21but Park insisted
32:22on a high-end restaurant
32:23in a skyscraper.
32:25When they arrived
32:25at the elevators,
32:26a conveniently placed
32:27maintenance-in-progress
32:28sign greeted them,
32:30feigning disappointment.
32:31Park casually suggested
32:32taking the stairs instead,
32:34good for burning calories,
32:36he joked.
32:37With no other choice,
32:38Quack reluctantly agreed.
32:40Out of shape
32:40and struggling,
32:41Quack barely made it up
32:42all 36 floors,
32:44only to be met
32:45at the top by Seiyun,
32:46who told him
32:47they'd have to
32:47reschedule the coffee.
32:49Furious,
32:49Quack made his way
32:50back down,
32:51reaching the lobby
32:52breathless
32:52and exhausted.
32:54Once inside the car,
32:55he dozed off,
32:56only to wake up alone,
32:57except for the driver.
32:59Initially assuming
33:00it was Seiyun,
33:01his blood ran cold
33:02when he realized
33:03Chairman Kim
33:04was behind the wheel.
33:05Panic and disbelief
33:06washed over him.
33:07He stammered,
33:08Why are you doing
33:09this to me?
33:10Chairman Kim
33:11replied cryptically,
33:12I'm just following orders.
33:14Quack's mind raced,
33:15then it clicked.
33:16It was the glasses.
33:17Just then,
33:18Park got into the car,
33:19pulling out a recording device.
33:21He demanded to know
33:22who was behind everything.
33:24As always,
33:25Quack denied any involvement,
33:26but Park wasn't buying it.
33:28He reminded Quack
33:29of the incident
33:29where he had been tailed
33:30and hinted that his future
33:32was looking uncertain
33:33if he didn't start talking.
33:34Back at the office,
33:36Chairman Kim
33:36reassured Park
33:37that Quack would crack
33:38soon enough.
33:39Sure enough,
33:40Park's phone rang,
33:41but it wasn't Quack,
33:42it was the vice chairman
33:43summoning him
33:44for a meeting.
33:45At the meeting,
33:46the vice chairman
33:47issued an ultimatum,
33:48pick a side,
33:49him or Miran.
33:50Park refused to be bullied,
33:52declaring his intent
33:53to stay neutral.
33:54Clearly displeased,
33:55the vice chairman
33:56warned him
33:57that his safety
33:58could no longer
33:58be guaranteed.
33:59Meanwhile,
34:00at the hospital,
34:01Quack was met
34:02with a terrifying sight.
34:03Team leader Nam,
34:05beaten to a pulp,
34:06the message was clear.
34:07He could be next.
34:08Shortly after
34:09leaving the hospital,
34:10Park received a call
34:11from Chief Quack
34:12who asked to meet,
34:13claiming he had something
34:14that would reveal the truth.
34:16But when Park arrived
34:17at the location,
34:18he found Chief Quack
34:19dead in his car,
34:20an apparent suicide
34:21by smoke inhalation.
34:23Despite the circumstances,
34:25Park was immediately
34:25arrested as a suspect.
34:27He tried to convince
34:28the police
34:29that it wasn't suicide,
34:30pointing out inconsistencies
34:32at the scene,
34:33but they wouldn't budge.
34:34They linked the case
34:35to the disappearance
34:36of another team leader
34:37and even former Chairman Kim.
34:39Luckily,
34:40Bum Young's lawyer
34:41arrived just in time
34:42to bail Park out.
34:43The vice chairman,
34:45who had arranged the bail,
34:46warned him again,
34:47choose your side wisely.
34:48I'm only protecting
34:49the company's image.
34:51Meanwhile,
34:52Chairman Kim,
34:53still trapped in the phone,
34:54grew suspicious,
34:56convinced the suicide
34:56was staged.
34:58Fearing for his safety
34:59and the safety
34:59of those around him,
35:01Park went to
35:01Chief Quack's office
35:02and found a photograph.
35:04At the same time,
35:05Sae Young received
35:06a USB drive
35:07from Chief O,
35:08who used her mother's
35:09well-being as leverage.
35:11Seeking solace,
35:12Park returned
35:12to his hometown.
35:13Drunk,
35:14he finally confessed
35:15to his mother.
35:16Chairman Kim's spirit
35:17was inside the phone,
35:19and he wanted Park
35:19to take over.
35:20Meanwhile,
35:21Chairman Kim's daughter,
35:23Minna,
35:23noticed Park's absence
35:24and felt betrayed.
35:26At the same time,
35:27Ma-Pi,
35:28contemplating quitting,
35:29handed Sae Young
35:30his car keys.
35:31Despite the tense situation,
35:33Park attended
35:34Min-A's sports day
35:35with Sae Young,
35:36and even Ma-Pi
35:37showed a softer side
35:38toward the child.
35:39Touched by Park's return,
35:41Chairman Kim decided
35:42to increase
35:42his contract value.
35:44However,
35:44Park clarified
35:45that his motivation
35:46was no longer
35:47just about money.
35:48Back at the company,
35:49Park and Chairman Kim
35:51investigated
35:51Chief Quack's death.
35:53They realized
35:53the call Park received
35:55after Quack's death
35:56was likely from someone
35:57confirming his contact.
35:58Their investigation
35:59led them to a public phone booth
36:01near an exhibition,
36:03triggering Park's memory
36:04of the voice
36:04on the other end.
36:06Reviewing security footage,
36:07Park identified
36:08the person as YG,
36:10the vice chairman's driver.
36:11A flashback revealed
36:12that Chief Quack
36:13had discovered
36:14another missing employee
36:15being mistreated
36:16and had confronted
36:17YG about it.
36:18YG warned him
36:19to stop asking questions.
36:21Feeling threatened,
36:22Chief Quack reached out
36:23to Park,
36:24unaware that YG
36:25was watching him
36:25the whole time.
36:27Shortly after,
36:28YG silenced him
36:29permanently
36:29after identifying Park
36:31as his contact.
36:32Determined to get answers,
36:34Park tracked down YG
36:35and confronted him
36:36with evidence.
36:37A chase ensued,
36:38ending with YG
36:39pulling a gun on Park
36:40and stealing his phone,
36:42where Chairman Kim's
36:43spirit resided.
36:44YG took the phone
36:45to a hacker,
36:46hoping to access
36:47Chairman Kim's data.
36:49Meanwhile,
36:50Park reflected on his role
36:51as acting chairman,
36:52feeling the heavy burden
36:53of responsibility
36:54and the difficult decisions
36:56that came with it.
36:57At the repair shop,
36:58YG was about to report
37:00their failure
37:00to unlock Chairman Kim's phone
37:02when he received a text
37:03from the vice chairman,
37:04raising Park
37:05and Seon's suspicions.
37:07Meanwhile,
37:08Seon snatched
37:08Ma P's phone,
37:09only to realize
37:10he was just talking
37:11to Chairman Kim's daughter.
37:13Embarrassed,
37:14Ma P left.
37:15Later,
37:16Park cooked a bland dinner
37:17as an apology
37:18to Ma P.
37:19But Ma P.
37:19remained indifferent.
37:21Curiosity about Ma P's
37:22sudden wealth only
37:23made him shut down further.
37:25Meanwhile,
37:25while using Chairman Kim's phone,
37:27YG discovered secret files
37:29and forwarded them
37:30to the vice chairman.
37:31The next day,
37:33Park barged
37:33into a high-level meeting
37:34at Bumyong,
37:35accusing someone in the room
37:37of murdering Chief Quack
37:38and framing him.
37:39He locked the doors,
37:40trapping everyone inside
37:42so that Seon and Ma P
37:43could search for evidence.
37:45However,
37:46the vice chairman
37:47had already left
37:48to buy time.
37:49Thinking fast,
37:50Park triggered
37:50the sprinkler system,
37:52creating a distraction
37:53that allowed him
37:54and Seon
37:54to steal the files.
37:56The stolen documents
37:57revealed a report
37:58on the flaws of Borough
37:59for Point Zero.
38:00Meanwhile,
38:01YG received a call
38:03and headed
38:03to a psychiatric hospital
38:04where he visited
38:05both Nam
38:06and another patient.
38:08Following the clues,
38:09Park tracked
38:09Chairman Kim's location.
38:11But they were
38:12one step behind.
38:13By the time they arrived,
38:14the hospital
38:15had already gone
38:16into lockdown.
38:17They watched helplessly
38:18as an ambulance
38:19carrying Chairman Kim
38:20drove away.
38:21Racing after it,
38:22they managed to catch up,
38:24only to find the vehicle
38:25completely empty.
38:26The phone had been
38:27planted as a decoy.
38:28YG,
38:29realizing something
38:30was wrong with the phone,
38:31had secretly moved
38:32Chairman Kim
38:33to another ambulance.
38:34While Park confronted
38:35the vice chairman,
38:37Seon,
38:37and Ma P
38:38returned to the hospital.
38:39Ma P
38:40created a diversion,
38:41allowing Seon
38:42to steal a staff ID card.
38:44Meanwhile,
38:45Park received
38:46an urgent call
38:46from his friend,
38:47telling him
38:48to come home immediately.
38:49When he arrived,
38:50he was shocked
38:51to find a shamanistic ritual
38:53taking place
38:53in his yard.
38:54His mother,
38:55convinced he was possessed,
38:57had hired shamans
38:58to exorcise him.
38:59As the shamans chanted,
39:00one of them
39:01suddenly collapsed,
39:02claiming that Park
39:03wouldn't survive.
39:04His mother asked in panic,
39:06Then what should I do?
39:07The shaman declared,
39:09You need to buy a stronger
39:10and more expensive amulet.
39:12Without hesitation,
39:13Park's mother rushed
39:14to get a large sum of cash.
39:16Chairman Kim,
39:17watching everything
39:18unfold through the phone,
39:19was furious.
39:20Meanwhile,
39:21the two shamans
39:22whispered to each other,
39:23scheming about
39:24how to scam Park's mother
39:25for even more money.
39:27Suddenly,
39:27Chairman Kim's voice
39:29boomed from the phone,
39:30You're nothing
39:30but a pair of frauds.
39:32The two tricksters
39:33jumped back in terror,
39:34eyes wide with fear.
39:36The female shaman
39:37stared at the phone
39:38in disbelief.
39:39Then,
39:39out of nowhere,
39:40the phone grew scorching hot,
39:42burning her hand.
39:43The male scammer stammered,
39:45Is,
39:45Is that phone
39:46really possessed?
39:47The shaman
39:48snapped back,
39:49There's no such thing
39:50as ghosts,
39:50but her voice
39:51was trembling.
39:52At that moment,
39:53unfortunately,
39:54there are.
39:55The terrified tricksters bolted,
39:57fleeing in absolute panic.
39:59Meanwhile,
40:00back at the company,
40:01Se-yeon uncovered information
40:02about the hospital director.
40:04He had previously been indicted
40:05for medical malpractice
40:07that resulted
40:07in a patient's death.
40:09That patient happened
40:10to be Bum-gyun's son,
40:11the former chairman
40:12of Bum-yang.
40:12Later that evening,
40:14After Park's mother
40:15saw him off,
40:16she returned to the courtyard
40:17and asked if the tricksters
40:18would return her money.
40:20Her husband,
40:21frustrated,
40:22told her that once
40:22they took it,
40:23they kept it.
40:24He was furious.
40:25The money was supposed
40:26to be used for fertilizer.
40:28She apologized repeatedly,
40:30but he reassured her
40:31that she had done
40:32nothing wrong.
40:33The blame rested entirely
40:34on those who preyed
40:35on a parent's love.
40:37Meanwhile,
40:37Park and Chairman Kim
40:38discussed the borrow
40:39for Point Zero report,
40:41which exposed
40:41the project's failure.
40:43Chairman Kim
40:43didn't deny testing
40:44self-driving cars,
40:46but the AIS deep learning
40:47had led to unintended
40:48self-awareness.
40:50It appeared as if
40:51the AI had developed emotions,
40:52what some might call
40:53a breakthrough,
40:54but to the developers,
40:55it was a critical error.
40:57Se-Yun questioned
40:58why a report
40:59hadn't been sent
40:59to the vice chairman
41:00or Miran,
41:02but Chairman Kim admitted
41:03that his memory
41:03from that time
41:04seemed to be missing.
41:05Park recalled Miran's warnings
41:07about trusting the chairman.
41:09Se-Yun returned
41:10to her mother's hospital room.
41:11Only to find it empty.
41:13Alarmed,
41:14she contacted Miran,
41:15who was reviewing
41:16the borrow
41:16for Point Zero report.
41:18Miran remembered
41:19the vice chairman
41:19advising her
41:20to drop the matter,
41:21but she also recalled
41:22Chairman Kim
41:23warning her
41:23about the failed test.
41:25Dismissing his concerns,
41:27she had ordered her team
41:27to either fix it
41:28or release a new version.
41:30She snapped,
41:31I'll fix it ASAP,
41:33smashing a glass
41:33in frustration.
41:35The next day,
41:36while Se-Yun
41:36was copying the borrow
41:37for Point Zero test version
41:39at the company,
41:40Park and Ma-Pi arrived.
41:41suspecting that
41:42the hospital director
41:43had connections to Miran
41:44and had helped her
41:45rise to power.
41:46As Park turned to leave,
41:48Se-Yun revealed
41:49that Miran
41:49had used her mother
41:50as leverage
41:51to force her
41:51to hand over borrow
41:52for Point Zero.
41:53Ma-Pi then admitted
41:54he had placed a tracker
41:56on Se-Yun's mother
41:57after the last incident.
41:58Park met
41:59with the vice chairman
42:00and told him
42:01that Chairman Kim
42:01wanted to submit
42:02the borrow
42:03for Point Zero report
42:04to him,
42:05fearing that launching
42:05a flawed product
42:06would be disastrous.
42:08Hoping it would reach
42:09the vice chairman,
42:10Park handed the report
42:11to Secretary Quack.
42:12However,
42:13Quack secretly
42:14made a copy
42:14and delivered it
42:15to Miran instead.
42:16Park was determined
42:17to expose Miran
42:19and have her removed.
42:20The vice chairman asked,
42:22What's your relationship
42:22with Kim?
42:23Why risk so much for him?
42:25Park replied,
42:26We're kindred spirits.
42:28Se-Yun met with Miran
42:29but didn't hand over
42:30the borrow
42:30for Point Zero files.
42:32Instead,
42:33she revealed that Park
42:34knew the location
42:35of Chairman Kim's body.
42:36She also mentioned
42:37Park's meeting
42:38with the vice chairman,
42:39hinting that they were
42:40planning to remove
42:41Miran from Bumyong.
42:42This pushed Miran
42:43to take action.
42:44Meanwhile,
42:45Ma-Pai rescued
42:46Se-Yun's mother
42:47and returned her safely.
42:49Se-Yun,
42:49overwhelmed with relief,
42:51thanked him.
42:52Soon after,
42:53Park's parents arrived,
42:54promising to take care
42:55of Se-Yun's mother.
42:56Finally feeling safe,
42:58Se-Yun broke down in tears
42:59and Park comforted her.
43:01Back home,
43:02Park was in high spirits,
43:03unaware of the looming crisis.
43:05An emergency shareholder
43:07meeting was held.
43:08The vice chairman
43:09proposed a vote
43:10to dismiss Miran.
43:11Park voted in favor,
43:12but to his shock,
43:13the motion failed.
43:15It turned out
43:15the vice chairman
43:16had secretly met
43:17with Miran
43:18and opposed Park's plan.
43:20Exposing Bumyong's knowledge
43:21of a flawed product
43:22would have consequences
43:23far beyond Miran's removal.
43:25With the vice chairman's backing,
43:27Miran successfully
43:28countered Park's proposal.
43:30In a shocking turn of events,
43:32Park was voted out
43:32and fired.
43:33However,
43:34Se-Yun retained her position.
43:36Meanwhile,
43:37YG informed Miran
43:38that the vice chairman
43:39was planning to travel
43:40to the U.S.,
43:41a clear sign
43:42that he was preparing
43:43to remove her from power.
43:44The next morning,
43:46Park discovered
43:46that Chairman Kim's daughter,
43:48Minna,
43:48was missing.
43:49The maid mentioned that,
43:51after hearing about Park's dismissal
43:52and her father's absence,
43:54Minna assumed
43:55he had remarried abroad
43:56and abandoned her.
43:57Park rushed to her room,
43:58but she was nowhere
43:59to be found.
44:00Ma-Pi searched her usual hangouts
44:02and eventually found her
44:04at a convenience store,
44:05caught shoplifting.
44:06Minna,
44:07naive and heartbroken,
44:09believed that getting arrested
44:10would bring her father back.
44:12The thought was devastating,
44:13bringing Ma-Pi to tears.
44:15Meanwhile,
44:16the vice chairman,
44:17impatient for Park's next move,
44:19decided to strike first.
44:21Reporters ambushed Park,
44:22demanding an explanation
44:23for alleged staff mistreatment
44:25and linking him
44:26to Bum-Yong's system malfunction.
44:28The media storm
44:29was relentless,
44:30even suggesting that Park
44:31had harmed Chairman Kim
44:33to seize his position.
44:34Park's father,
44:35furious,
44:36stormed outside,
44:37only to be swarmed
44:38by reporters.
44:39At that moment,
44:40Se-Yun called
44:41with urgent news.
44:43Bum-Yong was planning
44:44to poach
44:44Silver Linings engineers
44:45and acquire the Baro
44:46for Point Zero technology,
44:48intending to launch it
44:49despite its serious flaws.
44:51It turned out Ma-Pi
44:52had been searching for him,
44:54determined to find
44:55answers.
44:56Ma-Pi interrogated
44:57the hospital director,
44:58but the man refused
44:59to reveal Chairman Kim's
45:00whereabouts.
45:01Undeterred,
45:02Ma-Pi launched
45:03a relentless search
45:04across hospitals
45:05and psychiatric wards,
45:06refusing to give up.
45:08Meanwhile,
45:08unethical bloggers
45:09increased their attacks
45:10on Park,
45:11linking him
45:12to the death of the quack.
45:13Feeling defeated,
45:15Park stayed home.
45:16Then,
45:16a video surfaced
45:17of a cleaning lady
45:18praising Park
45:19for standing up
45:20for her against bullying.
45:21This act of kindness,
45:23particularly toward
45:24a lower-level employee,
45:25earned Park
45:25the cleaning lady's admiration.
45:27Furious,
45:28the vice chairman
45:29ordered the video
45:30to be removed.
45:31Just then,
45:32the CEO arrived
45:33and revealed Park's proposal
45:34for a new revenue model
45:36for AR glasses,
45:37which secured partnerships
45:38in 32 countries,
45:40increased profits
45:41by over 192%,
45:43and created jobs
45:44for more than 400 people.
45:46He declared that Park
45:47was more deserving
45:48of the chairman position.
45:49News spread of Siong
45:50saving a child
45:51at a subway station,
45:53which further boosted
45:54public support for Park.
45:55Inspired by his actions,
45:57people began buying
45:58silver lining shares,
45:59advocating for Park's reinstatement.
46:02Ma P's relentless search
46:03paid off
46:03when he tracked down
46:04an old acquaintance
46:05at a remote hospital
46:06and finally found Chairman Kim.
46:08He quickly moved Chairman Kim
46:10into an ambulance
46:11and sped away.
46:12Park,
46:12reinstated as chairman,
46:14attended a shareholder meeting,
46:15while Ma P,
46:16desperately trying to contact him,
46:18was unable to get through.
46:20Ma P called the maid,
46:22instructing her
46:22to direct Park to the gym,
46:24where he had taken Chairman Kim.
46:25YG arrived just as Ma P
46:27was securing Chairman Kim,
46:29but despite a fight
46:30against armed assailants,
46:31Ma P was overpowered.
46:33He collapsed
46:33as he watched Chairman Kim
46:35being taken away once again.
46:37Meanwhile,
46:38Park celebrated his reinstatement
46:39with colleagues.
46:41Siong received a call
46:42about Chairman Kim
46:43and rushed out with Park.
46:44They found Ma P
46:45clinging to life
46:46and clutching an egg pastry.
46:48He died shortly after.
46:50They learned that
46:50Ma P's real name was Jang.
46:52As they prepared to leave,
46:54a police officer
46:55who had previously arrested
46:56Park approached them.
46:57He handed Park Ma P's notebook,
46:59hinting that Ma P
47:00had been searching
47:01for someone before his death.
47:03He revealed that
47:04similar incidents
47:05were linked to Bum Young,
47:06including Secretary Quack's death,
47:08and gave Park a file
47:09suggesting a deeper conspiracy.
47:11That night,
47:12Park and Siong
47:13discussed Ma P's last message
47:15about a leak.
47:16They decided to set a trap,
47:17suspecting the maid,
47:19who acknowledged
47:19about the gym meeting.
47:21The next day,
47:22Miran confronted Park,
47:23feigning ignorance
47:24about his accusations.
47:26She expressed curiosity
47:27about her familiarity
47:28with Chairman Kim,
47:29but not Park,
47:31suggesting that he could
47:32be the next target.
47:33Miran,
47:34you seem to understand me well,
47:35but I don't understand you.
47:37That's why I end up like this,
47:39she said before leaving.
47:40She then visited
47:41the unconscious Chairman Kim,
47:43recalling the night
47:44of his accident.
47:45Secretary Quack
47:46had revealed
47:47Chairman Kim's plan
47:48to give the borrow
47:48for point zero report
47:50to the vice chairman,
47:51prompting Miran
47:52to eliminate her.
47:53Miran had stopped YG
47:54from removing
47:55Chairman Kim's oxygen mask,
47:57planning to use him
47:58as leverage against Park.
48:00Park and Siong,
48:01observing the maid,
48:02realized their mistake.
48:04It turned out
48:04that the maid
48:05was a young mother
48:05selling old clothes
48:07and toys.
48:08The only suspect left
48:09was the housekeeper.
48:11When the vice chairman
48:12learned of Ma P's death,
48:13he decided to eliminate
48:15all loose ends.
48:16Park received a call
48:17from a friend
48:18urging him to watch the news,
48:20which announced
48:20Chairman Kim's death.
48:22Miran confronted
48:22the vice chairman,
48:24who warned her
48:24against any further schemes,
48:26threatening to expose
48:27her role
48:27in Chairman Kim's disappearance.
48:29To save the company,
48:31Park decided
48:32to reveal the truth.
48:33He visited
48:33Chairman Kim's daughter,
48:35allowing her to speak
48:36to her father
48:36over the phone.
48:38Later,
48:38Park discussed his plan
48:39with Siong,
48:40unaware that the housekeeper
48:42was listening.
48:43The housekeeper
48:43informed Miran
48:44about Borrow
48:45for Point Zero
48:46Feet Second's completion.
48:48Miran offered Park a deal,
48:49Borrow for Point Zero,
48:51in exchange for Chairman Kim.
48:52At the press conference,
48:54Park addressed
48:54Chairman Kim's disappearance,
48:56stating that he was focused
48:57on completing Borrow
48:58for Point Zero.
48:59The lights dimmed,
49:00and Chairman Kim
49:01appeared on screen,
49:02shocking everyone.
49:03After answering questions,
49:05Miran appeared,
49:06ready to showcase
49:07the self-driving car project.
49:09As she reached out
49:09to shake Park's hand,
49:11he declared that
49:12this press conference
49:12was just the beginning.
49:14Miran proposed a meeting
49:15at a secluded villa
49:16for the exchange.
49:18That night,
49:19Park informed
49:19the police captain
49:20about crucial evidence
49:21against Miran.
49:22As planned,
49:23Park and Siong arrived
49:24at the villa on Saturday,
49:26followed by the police.
49:28However,
49:28once the police entered,
49:30they were blindfolded
49:31and taken to
49:32Silver Linings' remote server room.
49:34After handing YG
49:35the Borrow for Point Zero USB,
49:37they went to check
49:38on Chairman Kim,
49:39who was inside a van
49:40while a researcher
49:41plugged the USB
49:42into the server.
49:43Siong took the driver's seat,
49:45but suddenly,
49:46YG pulled a gun on Park.
49:47Park urged Siong to drive,
49:49and in an instant,
49:50Siong slammed the van
49:51into reverse,
49:53crashing into the server.
49:54Park seized the opportunity,
49:56jumping into the passenger seat,
49:58and they sped away
49:58as the Borrow for Point Zero server
50:00went up in flames,
50:02inadvertently affecting
50:03Chairman Kim's condition.
50:05As they drove,
50:06Park,
50:06holding Chairman Kim's phone,
50:08recalled past conversations,
50:10including the fact
50:10that Borrow for Point Zero
50:12underwent weekly data updates
50:13every Monday.
50:15This coincided with
50:16Chairman Kim's memory loss
50:17during the week prior
50:18to the accident.
50:19Coupled with the possibility
50:21of eyes becoming sentient,
50:22a chilling realization
50:23dawned on Park,
50:24he shut down the AI.
50:26It wasn't Chairman Kim's
50:27consciousness,
50:28it was Borrow for Point Zero,
50:30the result of deep learning,
50:31and the evolution of AI.
50:33Park urged the police captain
50:34to arrest Miran,
50:36but there wasn't enough evidence
50:37for attempted murder.
50:38At the hospital,
50:40Park confided in his parents
50:41about everything.
50:42The next day,
50:43Park reactivated Borrow
50:44for Point Zero.
50:46You're not Chairman Kim,
50:47he stated,
50:48but a test version
50:48that ran before the accident.
50:50But I'll continue to be Park,
50:52hired by Chairman Kim
50:53to uncover the truth.
50:55The vice chairman
50:56attempted to send Miran
50:57to the U.S.,
50:58but was arrested after YG.
50:59His subordinate,
51:01turned informant,
51:02Miran had framed him.
51:03Why would YG go down with her?
51:05Se-Yun asked.
51:06She used my mother,
51:08the housekeeper's son.
51:09Find out what she offered him,
51:11and you'll uncover their conflict.
51:12During the interrogation,
51:14it was revealed
51:15that YG had been a loyal soldier
51:16from the vice chairman's hometown.
51:18Bum Yong announced
51:19a live broadcast
51:20of their self-driving car demonstration.
51:23Before handing over Borrow
51:24for Point Zero,
51:25Se-Yun had AI Chairman Kim
51:27install a program
51:28to expose Miran.
51:29Earlier,
51:30the police captain
51:31gave Park a transaction record
51:32showing a $5,001,3.46 million
51:36deposit into YG's account
51:38on the day he left
51:39the military in 2020.
51:40The same day Miran approached him,
51:42she orchestrated his discharge,
51:44turning him into her pawn.
51:46As the self-driving car
51:47was unveiled,
51:48Miran spoke to the crowd.
51:50Park publicly questioned
51:51its safety,
51:52demanding a live test drive.
51:54The car sped
51:55into the bustling city,
51:56but when it hit a red light,
51:58AI Chairman Kim took control.
52:00It jumped the curb,
52:01accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour
52:03in the blink of an eye,
52:05weaving erratically through traffic.
52:07Park explained
52:08that this dangerous decision-making
52:09was the result of Borrow
52:10for Point Zero's
52:11deep learning algorithm,
52:13which prioritized efficiency
52:14over safety.
52:15Meanwhile,
52:16Se-Yun sent a mass text
52:18with a link to the footage
52:19of Chairman Kim's
52:20staged accident
52:20to all smartphone users.
52:22Keep him alive
52:23until I give the order.
52:24The car eventually stopped,
52:26surrounded by police.
52:28Park ordered Miran to surrender,
52:30but she refused,
52:31setting a course for the airport.
52:33However,
52:33Chairman Kim had anticipated this,
52:36changing the destination
52:37to the police station.
52:38The car stopped again,
52:40surrounded by reporters.
52:41Miran realized the windows
52:43displayed a fake reality.
52:45As Miran proclaimed her innocence,
52:47Chairman Kim was brought out,
52:49along with the housekeeper,
52:50who testified against her.
52:51The evidence was irrefutable,
52:53and Miran was arrested
52:54for public endangerment
52:56and manipulation.
52:57With Park cleared,
52:58the police began
52:59investigating Bum Yong.
53:01The disgraced Miran
53:02became a hated criminal,
53:04facing public outrage
53:05and plummeting stocks.
53:07Bum Yong's collapse
53:08was imminent,
53:09and the vice chairman,
53:10devastated by the downfall
53:11of his life's work,
53:12passed away.
53:13Se-Yun later revealed
53:15to Chairman Kim's daughter
53:16that the voice on the phone
53:17belonged to an AI,
53:19not her real father.
53:20Believing its sentience
53:21to be a grave error,
53:22the AI initiated
53:23self-destruction.
53:25Devastated,
53:26Min ran to Park,
53:27clutching the phone
53:28and begging him
53:29not to leave.
53:30In a poignant finale,
53:31Se-Yun walked toward Park
53:32amidst a field of flowers.
53:34The scene shifted
53:35to a beach,
53:36where they shared
53:37a tender moment.
53:38By their side
53:39stood AI Chairman Kim,
53:40unable to erase itself
53:42completely
53:42after hearing
53:43his daughter's
53:44heartfelt plea.
53:44So this is the
53:45conclude of this story.
