(All characters, places, companies,)

(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

- Sir, thank you so much. - No, ma'am.

Please take it. Thank you.

It's not what you think.

It's all a misunderstanding.

"A misunderstanding"?

What am I misunderstanding?

It's not that kind of money...

It's 83 dollars.

The person you saw earlier is a parent of a student.

When her son had to go to the emergency mid-game,

I lent them the money.

Where's Yoo Min Ho?

Why did you try to introduce him to the major league...

right before he was picked through the rookie draft?

Gosh. It's not like that.

But, when he was tested in the US, they found out he had an injury.

Thanks to his injury, he could not go to the major league.

Instead, you nominated him as the first choice.

How should I take this?

A professional baseball scout keeps on scolding the head coach...

of a high school team...

for sending a second-year student to the field too much.

But when that student becomes a senior,

the scout grabs the coach by the collar...

for not sending the player to the field.

Isn't that a serious abuse of your authority?

You wouldn't...

be saying that if you knew how much...

Min Ho was exploited in his first year.

Even if that was the case, it's their problem.

You're a third party.

Do you know how much the families pay for their kids to play baseball?

It's not an amount Min Ho can handle when he only has his grandma.

His coach didn't take any money from Min Ho.

The coach did that because...

he was trying to send Min Ho and three others to university together.

But Min Ho cannot go to university. Why, do you ask?

Because he has to join the pro league to earn money.

That's why the coach wouldn't let Min Ho play in his third year.

Yes. Things may be corrupt, but that's under his jurisdiction.

The whole country already knew about Min Ho when he was...

in second year, but the coach wouldn't let him play.

Wouldn't this make people mad even if they're not related?

It's infuriating. That coach sounds like garbage.

That's why I told Min Ho to pay.

I told him he should pay if he wants to play games,

but how can he pay that much money?

I did what I did not because of my job,

but because I felt sorry for him as someone in the same field.

All right.

Yang Won Sub, you're a good man.

You became a good man to Yoo Min Ho,

but at the same time, you did something...

that'll get the club disbanded.

You're no longer the Dreams' scouting manager.

I don't work with humanists.

(Inn)

Okay, go and pack your stuff.

Come in and have some tea while I pack.

- Okay. - No, we can just wait here.

Anyway, we were lucky.

Lucky about what?

The envelope he took wasn't a bribe.

Of course it shouldn't be a bribe. Why would you think it's luck?

I'm sorry.

We'll be taking credit for the work you did while you were being paid...

by Dreams. Do you consent?

(Operations Manager, Lee Se Young)

You know Mr. Ko Se Hyuk,

don't you?

Why do you ask?

There's no need to raise your guard.

We didn't come here...

to do any harm to Lee Chang Kwon.

Then what do you want to talk about?

Hello.

Yes.

I'm sorry, but I'd like you to leave.

Why?

I don't care if you're a customer. Please, just leave.

You know Mr. Ko, right?

How would I know someone like that?

You were talking just now as if you knew him.

The soup is ready.

Please get out.

I'm home.

Go into the kitchen.

Go!

How can a parent always do the right thing...

when all they ever want...

is for their children to do well?

Lee Chang Kwon practiced so much,

he was good enough to join the professional league.

Why should someone like him,

even after being named as the rookie of the year,

feel scared?

I'll be heading out now.

(Hangover Soup Restaurant)

I...

messed up.

(Myungil High School)

(Yoo Min Ho)

Nice.

Min Ho!

Are you all right?

Min Ho.

Hey.

I...

I don't mind not making it to the major league,

I'm really fine,

but what if...

I can't play baseball again?

What are you talking about? You can do it.

You can play baseball.

It will be all right.

Do you regret it?

I have no regrets,

but...

I won't ever do that again.

The police doesn't call you up anymore, do they?

No. All thanks to you.

It's all thanks to Manager Ko.

Players put a lot of trust in him too, right?

Yes, I guess so.

But I've been hearing some bad rumors too.

Have you heard of any?

Lee Yong Jae.

How much did you pay...

Manager Ko?

I...

don't know anything because all I do is play baseball.

Just leave.

We can't let it happen again.

I'll make sure that you won't be inconvenienced.

You're already inconveniencing me by interrupting my practice time.

I don't know anything. Leave!

Are you sure you can handle it?

If I tell you things,

we might have to get a new scouting manager...

or I may have to quit playing baseball.

Can you handle that?

My mother did contact him first.

I had been playing baseball for over 10 years by then...

and she was probably scared that I'd have to quit.

I thought we only had to pay him once when joining the team,

but he keeps contacting us.

He never directly asks us to pay him money.

But...

we know very well what he's trying to get at.

What are you doing here?

Where were you today?

I was on a work trip.

Right.

Jae Hee.

Yes?

Say that I do something...

that defames the Dreams.

What could that be?

Receiving bribes, for example.

How much of a bribe?

I'm just giving you an example.

What if you were the only one who knew that I took bribes?

What would you do?

I've known you for so long.

I trust you.

Why would you trust me?

Why would you ask that?

How can I not have trust in you?

Ms. Lee,

do you trust Manager Ko?

I do.

I've known him for a long time.

So you'd just trust him blindly?

That's not trusting him,

you're just turning a blind eye.

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

Jae Hee,

if anything like that ever happens, don't you ever trust me blindly.

Trust evidences.

Then check on them.

Check on them and then decide whether you still trust me or not.

Okay?

Manager Ko, are you home?

I actually have...

Never mind.

Yes.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes.

Bye.

Who was that?

Sorry?

Nobody. Let me pour you a drink.

This restaurant is fine, isn't it?

It's quite nice.

Eat.

Yes sir.

"Disciplinary Actions Against Won Sub & Se Hyuk"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Well,

how was your work trip?

It was good.

I didn't mess up on anything, did I?

No.

Why don't you get to the point?

I know it's late,

but I have something to report to you.

Look who's here. Won Sub!

Why are you here?

Why are you so diffident today?

How have you been? Hold on.

Hello?

Yes sir.

Scouting Department, to the meeting room.

Let's go.

You still go there, right?

I'm pretty sure you still go there by yourself.

Let's begin.

Yang Won Sub?

Yes.

You're personally close with Yoo Min Ho,

and you've claimed that...

he's most wanted in our team that lacks the pitching strength.

However, you introduced this demanding player...

to a scouter in the major league behind our back.

He even went to the States himself for the test.

But then he returned after feeling pain in his elbow.

Mr. Yang, you were the only one...

who was aware...

of his condition.

Nevertheless, you insisted on selecting him.

As you intended,

he was selected...

which was more awkward than anything else.

Mr. Yang.

Is any of this not true?

It was not...

simply out of affection.

I wished for his success...

and I thought he'd make it big.

For the first two years,

I knew he wouldn't make good results...

because of his injury.

But...

I thought it wasn't a big deal...

because he was going to play in our team for more than 10 years.

No, I was aware of it too.

Hey, Won Sub.

Don't try to take all the blame.

Both he and I thought Min Ho was valuable...

despite his injury.

I see.

This isn't the disciplinary action about losing the rookie of the year.

However,

Mr. Yang shook the system...

through the unclear process of selecting Yoo Min Ho.

He will have his salary reduced for three months.

That will be the disciplinary action for him.

And...

Mr. Ko.

Yes?

Shall we begin?

(Lee Yong Jae)

(Lee Yong Jae)

Are you on your way?

Begin what?

There are a total of 77 high school baseball teams in our country.

For the past five years,

the Dreams has selected 55 rookie players...

under Mr. Ko's system.

Do you know...

how many of them are from Jindeok High,

Hwajeon High, and Yesung High?

- How many? - 15.

I see. And?

Coach Kim Myung Il of Hwajeon High.

He's your senior, right?

Yes, he's my senior from high school.

What about the head coach Sung Moon Young of Jindeok High?

He's my junior from college. Is there any problem with it?

Then what about the head coach of Yesung High?

How do you think we are connected?

An alpine club.

What, you're still at work?

I had a lot of work to do.

You must be going through a lot.

(Wild Alpine Club 8-year Anniversary)

(Wild Alpine Club)

(We live and die for baseball.)

(Wild Alpine Club 8-year Anniversary)

(Mr. Ko of the Dreams and the head coach of Yesung High)

Oh, right.

I heard.

I saw him a few times. So what?

Thirty percent of the rookies were from your acquaintances' schools,

and most of them were in the low ranks.

That way, you wouldn't be blamed...

even if they didn't deliver good results.

Don't beat around the bush, and get to the point.

Incompetency, at the least.

Irresponsible dereliction of duties, most likely.

The unprecedented corruption...

of a professional team scouting, in the worst case.

Why this man...

Let's call it, dereliction of duties.

Irresponsible dereliction of duties.

You admit it yourself.

- Do you think that suits your... - Not me.

Those head coaches.

Those three head coaches were irresponsible with their duties.

Why do you think I selected those players?

Some things are only visible...

when you see them up close, but not in the records.

Diligence, human relationship,

competitiveness, health condition, and so on.

They told me about those details because they were close with me.

And that's what we should call irresponsible dereliction of duties.

Don't you agree?

My senior, my junior,

and the alpine club?

What a grand discovery.

This is no major league.

You must be ignorant because you haven't been in this field for long,

but you'll know everyone if you work here for 30 years.

So you selected those players based on that high-quality data,

and who among them are delivering results?

Must I list their names?

If you hadn't selected them,

they would've quit playing baseball.

Kim Il Young, No Tae Moon,

Song Yoon Soo, Lee Yong Jae, Nam Ki Tae,

Park Gun Young, Song Woo Jin...

What are you doing?

Among them,

who else is showing results other than Lee Yong Jae?

They're the type of players who makes great success late.

A year or two is not enough to judge a rookie player.

Our team doesn't even have a core player,

so why do you always pick those types of players?

Wasn't the team in need of a core player?

All right, then.

Let's go with, incompetency.

Look, Mr. Ko.

What?

I doubt that's the case either.

Hey. Hey.

The Dreams will select a player.

Pitcher Yoo Min Ho of Myungil High.

- That is our decision. - Congratulations, Yoo Min Ho.

The Dreams asked for a timeout during their 1st turn of Round 1,

and after a fierce discussion,

they have chosen Pitcher Yoo Min Ho...

All right, if you look at this video,

you must have been very flustered at Mr. Yang's unexpected action.

At this flustering moment,

why did you look back at the parents' stand?

You obviously knew the general manager was on the other side.

So I'm...

being humiliated now because I got confused...

with the general manager's seat a year ago?

Lee Chang Kwon's mother is sitting over there.

You promised you would pick him,

but you failed because of Mr. Yang. Isn't that why you were flustered?

What are you talking about?

- What? - What is he doing here?

I'm sure it's him.

I felt bad about his talents. That's all.

Why would I mind his mother? Is this the evidence?

Are you framing me with the video of me turning to the wrong side?

You're unbelievable.

I don't think I can go today.

I'm sorry.

I have nothing more to say.

Let's talk again when you have more solid evidence.

Se Young.

Are there more coming?

You seem to be waiting for someone.

Mr. Baek.

I understand how hardworking you are,

but let's not disturb others while you do it.

Also, go ahead and take disciplinary action.

I'm guilty of turning my head the wrong way.

I wonder what kind of punishment I'll get.

If you will excuse me now.

Have you been well?

I'm Lee Chang Kwon from the Vikings.

A year ago during the rookie draft,

I deposited 50,000 dollars to Mr. Ko Se Hyuk's account...

in return of his promise to pick me as the Dreams' first pick.

I don't know if it's for the better or the worse,

but I'm with the Vikings now.

Is he crazy?

Here are the recordings of the phone calls.

He promised I'd be picked before the deal,

but after the deal, he said he can't return the money.

Hey, punk! Are you crazy?

Are you out of your mind?

Should we...

listen to the recordings together?

Who do you think you are? Do you want to quit baseball?

- You jerk... - Mr. Ko!

Do you think you are innocent?

Is it all my fault because I gave him the money?

Why are you bring it up now?

No, it's not that.

We're also at fault for not knowing there was money being exchanged.

You're also at fault for depositing the money.

But most of all, he's at fault for accepting the money.

By the way,

you had a bright future ahead of you...

after becoming the rookie of the year.

Were you still happy without feeling an ounce of guilty?

So what?

Are you telling me to lock...

the stable door when the steed is stolen?

Yes, you should.

Why wouldn't you if you had your steed stolen before?

If you don't lock it now, you can't raise any horses.

Lee Chang Kwon.

Your little brother plays baseball too, doesn't he?

Are you going to let him take after you?

Instead of thinking about...

how to improve his control...

and batting range,

are you going to make him...

worry about whether to bribe someone or not...

if he ever meets someone like Mr. Ko?

Mr. Ko.

You should return...

the 50,000 dollars to Lee Chang Kwon.

And as for you,

you're fired.

Yang Won Sub.

- Yes? - Your pay will be cut...

for three months.

I think that'd be enough.

- Ko Se Hyuk. - Yes?

Why do you work like that?

- Why would you make such a mistake? - "A mistake"?

Who can Mr. Baek rely on right now?

You have the experience and a lot of connections.

You should be helping him if anything,

not make trouble!

I'm ashamed.

You're so immature!

You're the legend of the Dreams, aren't you?

I'm going to keep my eyes on you.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Baek.

If Mr. Ko makes the same mistake one more time,

you should fire him.

What are you doing right now?

What do you mean?

I'm taking disciplinary action.

Although the incident happened last year,

I respect your opinion.

That's why I'm giving him severe punishment.

Who knows if it was just last year?

Do I need to prove everything he did...

before you give him the proper punishment?

Are you saying you'll let Mr. Ko...

scout our new players again?

Mr. Baek. What he did was wrong,

but you should consider the situation we're in too.

Who'll replace him right now?

There's no one.

We don't have a replacement.

Yang Won Sub will take his place.

You want to fire Ko Se Hyuk who wanted to pick...

Lee Chang Kwon who is the rookie of the year,

and in his place, you want Yang Won Sub...

who wanted to pick Yoo Min Ho who had an injury?

Why are you mentioning a result that happened by fluke?

I'm going to straighten out the system.

Are you saying that the player we missed...

became the rookie of the year by fluke?

Lee Chang Kwon told me he practiced...

while grinding his teeth after he saw his parents cry...

post the rookie draft.

Do you think he would be the rookie of the year...

even if he had joined our team?

That's just a guess based on the results.

We need to select players...

based on detailed analyses.

That's the way to build a proper system.

The person who would make that possible...

is our new Manager Yang.

Mr. Baek.

Yes?

You're a good talker.

There's no need to talk so long about something so trivial.

Mr. Ko.

Do you have any last words?

It's your last chance.

I'll make sure such a thing doesn't happen again.

Okay.

What about you, Mr. Yang?

I have no excuses.

Mr. Yang will get his pay reduced for three months,

while Mr. Ko...

will get fired?

Okay, let's do that.

Wait, sir.

Why did you take the money? It's so lowly.

It wasn't a lot of money.

If it was a lot, I'd at least compliment you.

Why are you listening to such shameful words for a small amount?

It breaks my heart.

Gosh.

Get out.

I'll get going too.

Mr. Baek.

Let's talk.

Do you remember the talk we had...

after we sent Lim Dong Gyu away?

Do you remember?

I told you.

I hired you because you have quite a resume.

Win,

then disbandment.

Win,

then disbandment.

Please do as you've done.

I'm not asking for much.

I thought you understand what I meant?

- Yes. - So why do you keep...

planting trees on a planet that's going to disappear tomorrow?

Are you laughing?

You told me to do just what I've been doing.

Yes, a disbandment.

I don't just disband teams.

I make them win first,

and then disband.

I'm working really hard to make our team win. Should I not?

Mr. Baek, tell me, is it true...

you got paid after the disbandment of the handball team?

It's a malicious rumor created by malicious people.

Why did you pick me even after hearing that?

You're going too far.

I hope that the Dreams does so great...

that your perspective on the team will change.

So you're really going to make the Dreams win?

Just with a good pitcher and a new scouting manager?

Yes, so I'm going to get really busy from now on.

Manager Ko was formerly a franchise star,

while I'm not even from here...

and my career as an athlete was a failure.

So as a punishment, we're reducing your pay for three months.

I'm not replacing a person, I'm changing up the system.

Do you think I'll be good enough?

I'm not making you the Scouting Manager to do well,

I just want you to keep doing what you've always been doing.

Yes sir.

And I'll take it that...

the disbandment is now not in your plans.

Yes sir!

So loud.

Do you remember?

It's been already 15 years.

It was at the end of June, we were playing against the Vikings,

it was 9th down with 2 outs. And the bases were full.

You were the batter.

That's when you...

stopped the referee from calling a hit-by-pitch for a foul ball.

You told him that the ball just hit the bat's handle.

So that's how the game went on when it was supposed to end.

That was so cool.

You could've just won the game right there.

You're probably the only player...

that makes someone become a fan of the team...

with a strikeout and not a home run.

I was young...

back then.

No.

Because you were righteous then.

Back then, baseball was...

a lot of fun.

Good work.

What is Manager Ko like as a person?

He has his own batting theories.

He's a friendly man who makes everyone around him...

his friend if they're around for long.

When it comes to picking out good batters,

he's still told that he's got a good eye for it.

And...

he's also someone whose time in this industry is over.

Someone once said...

that there's two sides to a story.

We have to look at both sides,

just as you have done.

Is that a compliment?

How did you find out about the Wild Alpine Club?

I just did.

Good job with that as well.

That's a lot of compliments in a day.

If you're a fan of the Dreams,

this news may shock you.

Andy Gordon, the ace player of three years,

has been named on Yokohama's scouting list...

for a new starting pitcher for the next season.

Will the Dreams be able to keep him?

Isn't that your team?

Yes.

But you know,

I'm sorry I'm not finishing my breakfast.

Hey!

She barely had a spoonful.

I'm screwed.

Have you heard about Andy?

Mr. Baek, you watched the news about Andy, right?

Yes. Have you prepared the requested documents?

Yes.

(Andy Gordon)

(Record by type, lineup and positions)

Andy isn't the biggest player, I didn't expect Japan to eye him.

What do you think?

Do you think we'll be okay without Andy?

There are some indices that are just difficult to explain.

By difficult indices, do you mean...

a swinging strike rate for pitch types, GIDP rate

and Ground Outs Fly Outs rate?

Yes, those along with some others.

I guess we can't say Mr. Baek is clueless about baseball anymore.

You're the only one here that doesn't know baseball.

Head Coach,

how is Andy Gordon?

It depends on what your goal is.

My goal?

Andy was at his best...

in his 1st year out of the 3 years he was here for, right?

Yes, but no drastic gaps seen in the 2nd and 3rd years.

Precisely, he's at his worst this year.

Yes, but it's hard to say that he's on his way down.

His WHIP rate has increased evidently.

His pitching speed after 80 throws doesn't look so promising either.

He's good as the first starting pitcher in the worst team,

but weaker than the second starting pitcher in better teams.

I think we're on the same note.

We won't...

(Andy Gordon)

be keeping Andy.

I have high goals for the team.

It's hard to find a pitcher who's as good as Andy now.

We need a pitcher that we know how he'll do in games.

With Andy, we can do that.

We can predict his pitches to a certain extent.

Andy isn't a ridiculously expensive player either.

Under the assumption that he does as good as last year...

If that's what we're assuming, are we aiming for the last again?

- No. - We'll let Andy go.

Let's watch clips of some replacements now.

How much is he? I like his throws.

1,200,000 dollars.

No way.

Let's watch the next guy, we can't even afford this one.

Yes sir.

How much is he? He looks like he'll be cheaper.

Yes. He's 1,120,000 dollars.

Goodness.

Shall we watch the next player?

Why are we watching this?

- Sorry? - If the first two cost that much,

this guy is going to be even more expensive.

We expect him to be 500,000 dollars.

He's a freelancer who's not tied to a team.

He couldn't build his career due to his injury,

so he's only active in the Double A league.

That's lucky for us.

It's not that his body is ruined because of the injury.

It happened while he was riding a mountain bike.

We're going to include this in the contract...

and refrain him.

Good. I will prepare a list according to what we discussed...

and arrange a business trip.

Okay.

Who's going on the business trip?

The Operations Department is in charge of non-Korean players.

The general manager might go there himself,

so it might be me and him.

Just the two of you?

Do you want the whole department to go on a workshop or something?

I mean, you are a man and a woman.

Goodness, should I just kill you?

I will be leading our department one day,

so I should accompany you for an experience.

You can go next time. We hire foreign players every year.

That's not true.

What if this player does well and we renew our contract for 10 years?

We can't afford to hire unnecessary players.

I'll pay for my flight ticket and traveling expenses.

And I'll do an upgrade for both of your tickets.

Of course, at my own expense.

Hey.

If you get your fortune involved in work,

I'm going to use my superhuman strength on you.

- Stop it. - Didn't I tell you?

- Wait. Goodness! - You need to come to your senses.

Thank you.

The local coordinator will be waiting when we arrive.

Let's go.

Mr. Baek?

Hello.

Mr. Kim, what are you doing here?

I'm going to the US around this time of the year. It's obvious.

I see, you're hiring a player from abroad.

That's right.

Whom are you going to meet?

What about you?

Gosh.

Fine.

Let's share the first letter of their names.

- At the count of three. - Sure.

All right. In 1, 2...

Make sure...

you say the first letter of his name at the count of three.

Okay.

Good. In 1, 2, 3.

You're a con artist.

You didn't say it either.

All right, fine. Then let's share our destinations.

Come on, we can do that much.

All right, then.

All right. In 1, 2, 3.

- California. - The States.

So you're going to California.

Gosh, you con artist.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

That con artist, seriously.

Isn't this a business class?

Yes, senior managers and higher take business class.

That's the company regulation.

- When we return too? - Are you serious?

We can afford this much.

I see.

Mr. Baek, are you good at speaking English?

- Yes. - Really?

What the...

What the?

What the funny friend.

I can do this much.

I see.

-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Mr. Baek!

(You're late.)

(I pulled my strings and came first.)

Didn't you take a vacation yesterday?

What are you doing here?

Are you insane?

I used my vacation and my own money...

to be of help...

in case you need one.

Are you okay with using your vacation like this?

I get to learn new things, and you get assistance.

I'm good at English, but Se Young's pronunciation is a bit...

- Come over here. - Why?

- Come here. - No.

Hello.

I'm your coordinator Robert Kill.

Are you Ms. Lee Se Young and Mr. Baek Seung Soo of the Dreams?

Right, it's nice to see you.

- There's one more of you. - Please don't mind him.

I'm sorry this happened without telling you.

Please don't mind me.

I'm Han Jae Hee of the Operations Department.

I see, hello.

I don't mind. Should we go see him right away?

Or how about you unpack yourselves first?

- Let's go see him right away. - Okay.

What? Are we on a tight schedule?

You think it's too tight...

because you're on your vacation, and we're on our business trip.

If you're unhappy with it, just go to Disney Land.

Your spit got in my ear.

The West Side is the best in the States.

Look at that blue sky.

We should go camping...

at the national park on a day like this. Don't you agree?

Right.

Hey, shut it. He's driving.

Can't I enjoy my vacation mood at least on our way?

It's you who took a vacation, so don't expect the same from us.

Robert is here to help us, not to be your tour guide.

We've got to help each other.

I'll be quiet.

I'm glad to listen to Korean too.

You may keep talking.

See? He missed listening to Korean.

He must've missed it a lot.

I'll speak Korean as much as you want.

It's worse than you thought, isn't it?

It might be hard to come visit him...

even if the rumors say he's amazing.

No one would expect...

a great pitcher is hidden in a place like this.

What's up, guys?

He's our priority indeed.

He seems flexible.

Welcome.

Well, looks like everyone knows who Miles is.

I saw his pitches on videos,

but can you ask him to try doing it even if it's not at his full power?

Okay. Miles, can we see you pitch?

No pressure, just pitching.

Yes, but we don't have a catcher though.

He says we don't have a catcher to catch his ball.

Should I...

Hold on. Just wait.

I've practiced catching balls.

I've taken pro players' pitches too.

It might be a little different from those.

I'll catch it from afar. It'll be okay then.

Okay?

Come on, man!

So you're good at something.

How did you catch that?

Okay, one more.

This is awesome.

His pitch is weaker than we thought.

One more?

Why do you sound less confident?

Hold on. Hey, can you take it?

Of course.

Hey, Miles.

Why are you throwing so slow?

No, he didn't. He was at his full power.

He is going to get hurt.

You think?

Seriously.

There we go.

Well, we'll see you tomorrow when we get a real catcher in here.

No offence young lady, but that was very cute.

I could've caught that.

Try saying that in English.

No. Whatever.

Are there a lot of Koreans that live in this area?

Koreans are everywhere in the world.

Thank you.

You can take a long break, since we're meeting at 2pm tomorrow.

I'll come and pick you up around 11am.

Yes, please.

And since the catcher is coming as well,

you'll be able to see his actual pitches.

Let's head in.

Yes.

I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable.

I could pay for my own room.

You're working so hard, it doesn't make sense for you to pay.

I haven't done anything.

How long have you been practicing catching for?

Around two years, though I'm no good.

No, that was better than not having a catcher.

And let me know if you'd like to just go off and wander around.

You're on a break.

No, sir. I'm a passionate man when it comes to work and love.

All right then.

The agent is too sneaky,

I'm a little bit worried.

I didn't think there'd be an agent for a Double A player.

That proves that he's worth that much.

That means that he's not just a Double A player.

Someone that good would be a top player...

if he was in the Triple A league too.

I've caught balls thrown by professional pitchers in Korea...

and I can tell that he's different.

He basically threw the ball into my hand.

How's your hand?

I think I'll be able to handle two catches today.

We'd like to watch the player, so no thanks.

Recruiting and signing a foreign player...

has never been this easy.

It's almost scary.

All right, Miles. Let's show them what you've got.

146km per hour.

149km per hour.

Now, you know that that's still not 100 percent.

I don't think Andy compares to this guy.

He's insane.

I thought I was watching Doo Ki just now.

But I'm afraid I've got some news for you.

It seems, his price jumped up just a bit overnight.

He's saying that Miles' price jumped up from yesterday.

Let's see.

What was the original offer?

It was 500,000 dollars, right?

Why don't we double that?

152km per hour.

Double? Just overnight?

No way.

All of a sudden? She thinks it's ridiculous.

Ridiculous?

You see that ball speed and you come at us just at an offer...

of 500,000 dollars?

Now, little Miss,

that, that is ridiculous.

It's too sudden. This is unacceptable.

155km per hour.

All right. then.

No contract.

(Stove League)

We have to tell him how strong-willed we are.

Are you giving up?

If we start making excuses, we'll lose when it happens again.

Mr. Yang, let's get to work.

Let's go big. 900,000 dollars.

If you'd like, I'll add this to the contract.

You think 100,000 dollars difference is small, don't you?

Signing a foreign player is all about the money.

What a great pick?

Did you know all of this right from the start?

I don't know what to say.

I said we could bet on it.

I knew we'd be the ones smiling first.
