Episode 16
How do you do, sir?
I am Ha Ryu of Dream Motors representing Taepoong.
How...
did you get this car up here?
I'm sorry, sir. I gave them permission.
We couldn't show you all the features of this car on paper, so we brought it to you.
Please take a look before you make your final decision.
We...
The 100 replacement vehicles Gwanggaeto Car Rental...
has decided to purchase this period are...
Let's give it to the crazy bastards.
We're going with Taepoong Sami 3.
Thank you! Thank you, sir!
What can I say?
They blew me away with what they did.
You can't beat blind tenacity.
Just consider this bad luck.
But I'll remember you next time.
Congratulations, Ryu.
I'm glad I could repay you for what you've done for me.
That was nothing. Thank you.
We owe this to you, Mr. Yang.
Thank you very much, Mr. Yang.
- Congratulations. - Yes, thank you.
Did we get it? Did we get it?
We did it, Ryu! This is going to change our lives!
Oh, hello.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
This is quite a blow for Daesan.
Listen, would you like to have some tea with us?
Why? Are you going to comfort me?
I was thinking maybe you'd congratulate us.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Hey, shouldn't we call Son Gil?
Yes.
Do you want to call him or should I?
You're the manager.
How did it go?
Let's go.
Hey, we need someone to celebrate with.
Don't you want to tell Da Hye?
I will.
Hey, I was really nervous and now I'm hungry. Should we go eat?
Okay.
No call from Chairman Yoo?
I thought he would throw a fit.
I anticipated this and I gave him my word that I'd get us on top by the end of the year.
You did that for me?
And other reasons.
Thanks.
It feels kind of good to have someone covering my back.
You're beginning to make me feel the same way.
How was it?
Did it bother you going up against Ha Ryu?
You're way too sensitive when it comes to that guy.
I hope this isn't jealousy.
I said what I said only because I was angry.
I'm a little late.
You made it. Sit down.
So what do you think about my next plan?
Frankly, it concerns me.
It could trigger national antipathy if we raise domestic prices
and leave export prices untouched.
Even without the rental car deal, sales are strong enough at home
that we don't have to worry about the domestic market.
A price increase won't affect sales.
It's time to turn our attention overseas.
We could lose our solid footing in the domestic market
if this pricing policy becomes an issue.
Not if we time it right.
Mr. Kang, your car is ready.
I must go now if you don't mind. I have an important meeting to attend.
How much longer do we have to tolerate this?
He's trying to control Daesan like it's in the palm of his hand.
Leave him be.
The higher they climb, the harder they fall.
Everything's going my way, but...
Is there something bothering you?
I just need to get rid of this thorn in my eye...
Thorn in your eye?
Are you watching his people?
Yes.
Lee Son Gil's father has taken ill, so he's out of the picture for a while,
and Kim Chang Shik seem to be having some financial trouble.
Oh?
When you have a wife and children to feed,
it becomes very hard to resist money.
Yes, Assistant Manager Lee Son Gil.
So come back to work as soon as you can. We're going to get really busy.
All right then. Take care of your father.
Bye!
Let's see. Who should I call next?
Holy...!
Oh, it's my darling wife.
Yes, honey. What?
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
What?
Oh, okay. I'll be right there.
Enjoy.
Welcom...
Ryu!
Hi, Ji Oh.
What are you doing here?
Business is good.
Isn't it? Thanks.
Um,
how is Da Hye?
Don't ask.
She's totally depressed.
She doesn't eat, she doesn't smile...
Did something happen?
No, nothing...
No?
When a girl gets mad, you have to soothe her, no questions asked.
Look at Son Gil. He's so sensible.
He pampers me, he buys me gifts... That's what you have to do.
I thought you'd be good at that.
- I'll get going. - Bye.
Da Hye.
Are you in there?
How do you feel?
Are you all right?
I heard you're not eating.
I...
came because I missed you.
I wanted to see your face
and talk to you.
Remember?
You told me when I was struggling,
that I had to pick myself up at the place I had fallen.
Do you know how inspiring your words were to me?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
that I hurt you.
Da Hye,
I miss you.
I miss you, Da Hye.
What happened to your father?
And what is this mess?
The construction company he invested in...
it's gone under!
The owners skipped town and left all the debt for my father.
He's going to be arrested if he doesn't pay the creditors right away.
They barged in here and turned the house upside down.
How did your father get himself into this?
What do we do? We have no money.
I'm going to rob a bank or something.
Don't cry. We'll figure something out.
Honey, you know how important my father is to me.
I can't let them send him to jail!
He's worked so hard all his life,
and if he had to go to jail in his condition...
Honey, is there any way we can get some money?
You have to help him. Honey...
Don't cry. Don't cry.
- What do we do? - Please don't cry!
Hi.
Manager, you're so early today!
How much did we make on the rental car deal?
How should I know? You're the manager.
Oh, yeah...
I'm not very good with numbers.
How much do you think we're going to have?
Well, not enough for bonuses, but I think it'll cover our paychecks.
So you did do the numbers.
But is that all? We sold 100 cars.
We're not their branch,
and you know how small Taepoong's margin is.
That's true.
But cheer up.
This deal is going to make us famous, and we'll start making money real soon.
I'm going out for a walk.
Both Son Gil and Da Hye aren't here today.
You don't need to take a walk. You need to work.
I... I need some fresh air.
You got plenty of fresh air on the way here. Now work.
Work. Let's get the day started.
Let's sell some cars today. Go team!
Ryu.
Ryu?
Okay, honey.
I know you miss me, but hang in there. Bye.
What did he say? Is his father going to be all right?
They don't know yet.
Can you miss work like this so many days in a row?
My Butterball's not there either, so I heard they're shorthanded.
Ryu seemed very tired having to do everything himself.
Welcome.
What can I show you today?
Do you have a new car?
Huh?
Did you sweep the floor?
Chang Shik was supposed to, but he went out for some air.
Then should I do it?
Should I?
I'll do it.
Let's do it together.
Okay.
We've discussed foreign market expansion extensively,
with China and East Asia as our target.
If there are no other concerns, I will pursue the project without further ado.
Ms. Kim Jae Hee.
Mr. Song Man Deuk.
Please come forward.
This is the team that will lead this project with me.
It's a task force team that will be working with those on location overseas.
Let us work hard together.
Yes, of course.
Whoa!
Life must be good. You're exercising.
I gained a lot of weight since retiring, so I thought I'd get out.
Maybe I should retire too.
Why?
Did something happen?
I guess I lost my eye for people.
It makes me sick to my stomach to watch the bastard's arrogance.
You made the choice, so you have to either get used to it
or change the man.
It's simple. What's the dilemma?
The problem is...
I feel like I'm becoming a bastard with him.
Oh dear...
I don't even have a pension plan.
Maybe I should go sell cars.
It's okay, it's okay.
Kim Chang Shik?
Oh, I know you!
Yes, the country club?
You look a lot different in the photo.
Could I have a moment of your time?
I have to get back to the office.
It'll only take a few minutes. This way.
I have to work. I have to tell Ryu...
What are you doing?
Don't work so hard.
Where's Mr. Kim? I haven't seen him today.
Oh,
he said he was just going out for some air.
Where could he have gone?
I heard that you're the manager of Dream Motors.
This is a surprise.
You're the vice president of Daesan.
You made a bold decision leaving a secure position at Taepoong.
Oh, that's...
How are Daesan cars doing in the dealer market?
You sell all makes of cars,
so I'm sure consumer preference becomes clearly distinct.
Daesan cars are very popular.
The pricing is competitive and there's quite a demand.
As you already know, Ha Ryu has the wrong idea about me.
But I also have my pride,
and it's hard for me to ask him to take our cars,
so I came to see you instead.
Yes, Ryu does have a lot of pride.
Oh, and this...
is just a little something to thank you in advance for your support.
Pardon?
It's just out of courtesy, so please don't feel burdened by it.
And I think it might be a good idea not to tell Ryu about this
knowing how straightlaced he is.
Yeah.
Are you getting ready for work?
Yes.
Since when did you go back to work?
Hey, that's mine!
Do you know how expensive that is?
I only use that on special occasions.
Don't be so cheap!
That's not how you do it.
Give it to me.
Smile.
Like this.
Right on the cheekbone.
There. Isn't that pretty?
Yeah.
Such modesty.
Oh no! You crushed my car!
How could you drive like that?
Oh, my back hurts! What are you going to do about my back?
You could've killed him!
How could you just crash into him without looking?
You came out of nowhere...
I saw the whole thing. You just crashed into this car!
You should've veered off! You just rammed straight into me!
Oh, I'm hurt!
What exactly happened?
What?
What's this?
- How did the accident happen? - I saw everything.
This woman is at fault.
Calm down and tell me about the circumstances of the accident.
Circumstances of the accident?
Stay out of this.
Oh, my back!
Is your back on your neck, sir?
That's your neck.
- Oh, my neck... - Pathetic...
- This is obvious! - What?
This woman is a shill. Is this insurance fraud then?
Give me your resident registration number and the name of your insurance company.
Why should I give you anything? Who do you think you are?
Me? I'm an insurance investigator. Why?
What? An insurance investigator?
Honey, what do we do?
Hi, it's me.
I need you to run a license plate for me.
Yes, insurance claim records.
- Plate number is 19... - Run!
Where are you going?
Hey, stop!
Let them go.
I'd rather not have to deal with people like that.
Are you injured?
No. Thank you so much!
I didn't know what to do.
Done. Everything's fine.
I'm so relieved.
How much do I owe you?
Nothing. All I did was open up the hood and look at a few things.
- I won't charge anything. - Really?
Really.
Oh, but it was in an accident. How could I...
Not all accidents cost money. You don't have to pay anything.
Besides, Da Hye brought it in.
- Thank you. - Da Hye,
you have to pay me for the polishing.
Forget it, kid.
Thanks.
- So it's really... - Yes, it's free!
Stop in any time your car gives you a trouble.
Better yet,
we'll contact you when it's time for your oil change and tune-up.
Write down your name and address for us.
Sure.
You can stop by just to visit, too.
I'll spit shine your car.
- Bye now! - Thank you very much!
Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at work?
That was probably a client.
Da Hye is so kind that she can't pass by when she sees a client in trouble.
That's why I say she's too good for Ryu and perfect for me.
Thanks guys. I'll buy you dinner sometime.
- Really? - I'm off now!
Hey,
isn't "I'll buy you dinner" a pick up line?
No, you just always look hungry.
Ryu, what do you think?
Daesan Ceres?
We have to ride the momentum and sell, sell, sell.
Yes, but...
A promotional sale from Daesan?
How did you get this?
Huh? Oh, it turns out an old school friend of mine works at Daesan.
I don't know how he found out about us.
We must be famous. Don't you think?
I think it's great.
Yeah. I'm not the manager here for nothing.
Careful.
Come on in.
Stop.
I'm the manager, kid.
Lower. To the left.
Move it a little...
Okay, okay. There.
You idiot!
Hey, calm down.
This is Dream Motors.
Please give us a call
Please come and see us. Hello.
What do you think about the feel of the car? Would you like to try sitting in the car?
This is the final estimate.
Wow, this makes it so easy to see.
Is it really possible to buy a new car at this price?
This is a special promotional sale offered only through our dealership.
And the options are two levels higher.
You can compare for yourself.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We're getting great response for Ceres.
We should bring some more in.
But don't you think it's kind of strange how low the price is?
We're getting a lot of phone enquiries too.
But that's a good thing.
If a low price is what sells, what do we care?
My friend gave me this special deal for limited sales.
Really?
Chang Shik, do you mind if I meet with your friend?
Why? Don't you trust me?
Do you think I'm stupid?
You call me manager but you think I'm an idiot.
No, I'm just saying we should confirm the terms once more.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
- Come on, guys. - Unbelievable.
If you can't thank me, you shouldn't say anything at all.
Where are you going?
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
What should we order for lunch? Pigs feet? Chinese food?
Ryu, let's please go easy on ourselves.
Things are going well. Don't ruin it.
I'm going out for some air.
He seems really upset.
Was I too harsh?
He hasn't done a big deal like this in a while.
You probably took the wind out of his sail.
Hello?
- Oh, hi! - Welcome.
You're...!
I'm glad you're here.
For you.
Thank you again.
You shouldn't have.
Oh, that accident I told you about...
I would've been in a lot of trouble if she hadn't been there.
She was so helpful, and she even got the car fixed for me.
Did she?
But you didn't have to come all the way for this.
Well, actually, I came to buy my father a car.
Would you give me a recommendation?
Sure!
- This way. - Yes.
Ceres?
That model has been on backorder since last week.
If you buy one now, it'll take about a month to have it delivered.
I see.
Thank you.
Where are these cars coming from when they are on backorder?
Did you confirm what I asked you?
And you're sure those Ceres were released from Incheon factory?
Thanks for the favor.
I'll talk to you again soon.
[RE Parts Safety Testing]
[Tire X79 Safety Testing]
What is it?
I'm curious about something.
Sure, go on.
About the new Ceres that were recently recalled,
I couldn't find records of disposal.
In fact I couldn't find them at all. What happened?
I sent them away for further testing.
Where? Do we have another facility I don't know about?
Mr. Song.
Further testing? Are you talking about the RE parts safety testing?
This is very suspicious.
The Alabama research facility assigns a number to each testing they perform like this one.
Mr. Song.
I believe this matter has already been wrapped up.
Ms. Kim.
Mr. Song, I think you have more important matters to attend to.
Well, there's an announcement I must make today, so let us go.
Mr. Song, is there anything else you wanted to say?
No.
- Oh, Director Kang, it's good to see you. - You're here.
- I'm sorry about that. - What's your plan?
He's too dangerous to fight head on.
Provoking him will only make him more dangerous.
We have to indulge him and put him at ease.
And strike him in the back?
He'll make a mistake sooner or later.
And the truth about the testing will come out.
I need to get close to him to spot that mistake.
And this one is going to make you feel even better.
The next time your daughter-in-law doesn't cook for you, cook yourself.
Or bring her to me and I'll give her a good talking-to.
There you go. Who's next?
Oh, you're here. Give me a minute.
What's your ailment? Joint pain?
This one will make you feel a little bit better.
I'll be here again tomorrow. That's it for today.
You'll see me here again if you come at the same time.
That's it for today, gentlemen. I have a date to go on.
Let's go.
Bye!
You are a people magnet.
Do you come here everyday?
No, I go around here and there.
You look good.
You know. I'm always the same.
By the way, I heard you got knocked out by Ryu.
That's why I called you.
Let's empty his wallet tonight.
What are you feeling like? Ribs or pork belly BBQ?
Let's make that steamed angler. Let's go.
Oh, you're here!
I hope you brought enough money. We're going to empty your wallet.
Sit down.
I'm going to the restroom, so order for me.
I'll have the most expensive dish on the menu.
We're seeing a lot of each other.
Yes.
Order something.
Don't mind me.
Keeping yourself busy?
Yeah, kind of.
I heard about what you did for Mr. Shin... that he was quite moved.
How did you get the idea to donate a car?
Cut it out with this fake interest and half-hearted words of comfort.
The food isn't here yet? What did you order?
Mr. Choe, I have to get back to my office.
Something urgent has come up.
We'll have dinner some other time.
Wait, Jae Hee!
I...
I wish...
we were at ease with each other like before.
You're lucky, Da Hye.
You get to eat all the tasty porridge you want, thanks to your friend.
You should be honored.
Thank you very much.
It sounds like you're back to your old self.
Did seeing Ryu give you a sudden boost of energy?
I only went back to answer the phone for them since Son Gil isn't there.
Speaking of Son Gil, be good to him.
Did you call him?
I just sent a text message.
- Just a text message? - Yeah.
You need to be comforting and supportive in times like this.
Are you lecturing me? You?
But it's true. He's going through something awful right now.
Hey. I'm the pro when it comes to relationships, not you.
All you do is sit at home staring at the walls and you're trying to lecture me about men?
Come on. Call him right now.
- I'll call him when I want to. - No, call him now.
That's absurd!
But something's not right.
We have to find out what's going on first, and then...
So you want to stop selling the cars?
And call back the cars we already sold? That's ridiculous!
What if they change their minds and want to cancel?
What do we do with all of those cars?
Is there some kind of problem with those cars?
No, of course not! But this guy's making a problem out of nothing!
- What's wrong with you? - What's wrong with you, Chang Shik?
Why did they give us this huge inventory
when their own branch doesn't have enough to sell?
And the pricing is funny, too.
I know that new models are coming out, but the Ceres is a popular car.
Chang Shik.
Oh, this is insane! I'm going nuts!
Talk to me. There's something else.
Isn't there?
What am I going to do?
Mo- Money?
We're not some big shot super dealer.
Why would they offer us payola to stock their cars?
And you really took the money?
Ryu...
You didn't...
[No refunds or exchanges will be granted.]
[However, vehicles may be recalled and repaired.]
Who is it?
Kang Seung Joo.
It's Kang Seung Joo, isn't it?
Welcome...
What is this?
I heard Daesan is issuing a recall on certain Ceres models.
Did you sell me a bad car?
A recall?
I want this contract cancelled this instant!
You sold me a recalled car!
It looks like Dream Motors will be shutting down pretty soon.
What do you mean?
They took recalled vehicles and sold them fraudulently.
Ambition is one thing but that's a crime.
Really? I guess a little taste of money made them greedy.
Jae Hee, where's Kang Seung Joo?
Where is that bastard?
- Ms. Kim, who is this man? - What do you want?
What's going on?
- Why are you here? - You know exactly why I'm here.
This.
You set us up.
Watch your tongue. Set you up?
You bribed Chang Shik and conned him into signing this!
Conned him?
What are you talking about?
What is the meaning of this? Don't make a scene.
Take your grievance through proper channels.
And who are you blaming for your failure to read the contract?
- Let's go. - Mr. Kang!
I'm sorry. I'm returning your money.
Please take it back and clear the company's name. I beg you.
Chang Shik.
I'm sorry, Ryu. I really didn't know.
I thought it was a little strange when he gave me the money
but I never dreamed they were recalled vehicles.
I really needed the money, so...
Bastard...
Get up.
Please tell them that it was a mistake... that Daesan released the wrong cars by mistake.
Please help us just this once. I beg you.
All we did...
was sell the cars that you wanted to buy.
And we wrote the contract accordingly.
You didn't know there was a problem with the cars?
How could you not at that price?
Sir, I beg you!
What's done is done.
Don't dwell on it.
Let's go.
Ryu must've been shocked...
to see you turn against him like that.
Did you see the look on his face?
- Slow down. - Let go.
I need to get drunk.
Why didn't you tell me you were having money problems?
How could I when I know your financial situation?
It would've only made you feel bad.
So did you come up with the money?
Not yet...
- Let me ask around. - That's okay.
I won't have you running around over my father-in-law's problem.
And stop making me feel so guilty.
It's no use crying over spilled milk.
Let's just deal with this. We'll be all right.
But we're not talking about one or two cars.
It makes me sick to my stomach just to think of it.
Ryu, I'm so sorry.
Don't worry.
We're the ones that sold the cars,
so we should go around and bring the cars back in.
How many cars are we talking about?
But how? We sold almost forty of them.
Well, we can't just do nothing.
No, you stay here. I'll do this alone.
Da Hye, take care of the showroom while we're gone.
Don't worry.
Wait up.
Da Hye, you can take good care of the showroom, right?
Yes.
I trust you.
Look at this. How could you sell this kind of car?
Take it back! Right now!
Ma'am!
How did it go? Did it go well?
I'm sorry. Something urgent came up.
- Is it bad? Should I go and talk to him? - No, no.
Let's move on to the next one.
The next one? Which way?
That way.
I'm so sorry about all this...
What?
[Unscrupulous Dealer That Sells Recalled Cars]
What's this?
I don't believe this!
Chang Shik, look.
Let's go.
You're the manager?
Wait, please hear me out.
What are you? Do you want to be taken away?
Everything is going according to plan.
What time is the representative's meeting tomorrow?
Two o'clock, sir.
He'll take another blow tomorrow.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
[Auto Industry General Conference]
I'm sure Daesan was affected most by this.
It's certain to damage your reputation.
Yes, it is.
Our company, Cheonma, is inclined to revoke our contract.
We don't want to risk damaging our reputation just to sell a few cars to an independent dealer.
We have also tentatively decided
to revoke authorized dealership rights.
What about us?
Ms. Kim, I'd like to hear your opinion.
We must stop supplying them as well.
And considering the damage they've done,
we should consider taking further action.
My plan was to wrap this up by issuing refunds and an apology letter...
but fine...
we will revoke their dealership rights as well.
You're going to quit? Sure, just quit.
No one cares what happens to the number two man anyway?
Didn't you go into that company to beat me?
What's the matter? You've lost your confidence?
I guess I've been out of action for too long.
It's a whole new ball game.
Listening to oldlegs making excuses...
is boring!
It is. Isn't it, sir?
So you're going back to body scrubbing?
I don't know...
Shouldn't you take another shot at your unfulfilled dream?
Mandeok, do you remember?
The banner on the stands at the 2002 World Cup games?
"Dreams do come true"
But what I've learned is that you can't realize your dream alone.
If your strength alone is not enough, you inject your blood.
Yes, yes, yes. Wow, that would make a great team!
It would.
But if you're ready to call it quits, just quit.
I still have a long way to retirement.
I'm going to take my time and think about it.
Mandeok, you can't just leave.
- Bye! - Are you mad at me?
Never mind!
Bye!
Good grief!
We will take care of your recall paperwork. We apologize.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
Yes.
What do you mean no more cars? We didn't talk about this.
But Sunbae, Daesan is Daesan. Why would your company...
The rumors will fade very soon.
Can't you do anything?
Come on. Please?
Take care of this first!
How long are you going to keep us waiting?
I feel sorry for Ha Ryu.
What will he sell if all of the auto makers revoke his dealership rights?
A few foreign cars?
Or I guess he could build his own cars to sell.
I'm sure he can, knowing how reckless he is.
I heard he took a car up 17 floors.
Your eyes gleam when you talk about him.
Like a hyena that's found food.
He's not even food. He's just a toy to play with.
Song Mandeok didn't show up to the meeting,
and he's been quite hostile with me lately.
What's going on?
He's just being arrogant.
Yes?
What? An accident?
What do you mean?
Okay. I'll be right there so call Assistant Manager Han.
What's wrong?
Oh, it's nothing. I have to go.
Mr. Han, how did this happen?
I came as soon as I heard and this is what I found.
- The driver? - Taken to the hospital.
Has anyone else been notified?
Of course not. If anyone found out that this is a sudden acceleration accident...
Mr. Han!
Watch your mouth. Don't say anything you are not certain of.
Sorry.
Thank you.
I'll take care of the rest.
As a favor.
I don't understand.
You want us to restore the authorized dealership rights to Dream Motors?
Why would Daesan's director of sale make such a request to Cheonma?
We need another auto maker to act first in order to justify our move.
I don't understand.
The truth is Daesan is largely at fault for the release of those recalled vehicles.
We want to take care of this matter as quietly as possible.
But we would be admitting our mistake if we restored their dealership rights first.
That's what the top executives are worried about.

The patient's condition?
Comatose. The patient is unconscious.
They don't know when he will regain consciousness at this point.

I'm going out to see the driver's family right now.

Don't forget that.
Mr. Kang.
