Original subtitles

I received the certification of contents you sent us.

But you should stop here.

What's this?

They're files that show TM's intervention...

regarding Cheongil's bankruptcy and Seongwoo's attempt to take over.

What do you mean?

You'll know once you hear it.

Why are you giving me this?

I don't think of you as a director at TM Electronics.

I think of you as my wife's older brother.

And I don't want to lose you.

I think this will be best for both of us.

What do you say you just quietly take care of this?

Take a look at the files first...

and give me a call.

About Park Do Joon...

When I look at him, he reminds me of you back when you were young.

Please don't make him walk the same path you did.

I offered you a business deal with TM Electronics.

(Episode 15)

But I heard you're delivering components to Cheongil.

Mr. Kim, what do you think you're doing?

Do you want your company to go under?

I'm sorry.

But Mr. Lee.

Shouldn't it be up to me to decide which companies we choose...

to deliver our components to?

Mr. Kim.

Is TM Electronics a joke to you?

Do you want to experience the consequences?

Sure, go ahead.

They say, "Even a worm will turn."

Mr. Lee.

If you want to see how badly that worm will turn,

I'll gladly show you.

Cheongil went down because they got on TM's bad side.

They'll eventually get taken over by Seongwoo.

Once I get rid of the useless people and grab hold of the reins,

I'll make sure you get everything you want.

You can even pick where you want to work.

I could even get you a portion of Seongwoo's shares.

I got Ji Na a job at Seongwoo, didn't I?

Sir, Mr. Jo wants to see you right now.

Okay.

It seems like I should be getting an update.

How are things going?

Sir, the employees at Cheongil...

are very determined to save the company.

If we continue to push things ahead regardless of the situation,

I think it might cause a problem.

Is that so?

Then just let them be.

Yes, sir.

I'll find another company instead of Cheongil to...

No, I meant just you, Mr. Moon.

Have you been sleeping on the job?

Shouldn't I see results given the time I spared?

How is it that this hasn't been wrapped up yet?

And you call yourselves...

the core members of this company?

You're dismissed.

I'm done with you both, so leave.

I'm sorry, sir.

My apologies too, sir.

If you give me another chance,

I won't disappoint you.

Can you prove yourself if I give you a chance?

Your desperation or competency, whichever it is.

We need to help Cheongil, a subcontractor of ours.

By helping them, you'll be helping us.

You must cut back on costs to no longer be in the red.

Please understand that in order to do so,

restructuring of the company and layoffs are inevitable.

Why do you think things suddenly went south for us?

After getting all the products you needed from us,

you cut us loose.

Larger companies purposely trying to shut smaller companies down...

in order to have other partners or subsidiaries...

acquire the latter at a cheap price is quite common as well.

(To Mr. Moon Hyung Suk)

(I will swing by your office to discuss a matter.)

May I ask why you're cornering Cheongil Electronics...

more than you need to?

If TM Electronics...

loses its competitive edge in the market,

our people, the subcontractors we work with,

and their families will suffer damage to their livelihoods.

For us to all win...

No, for us to all survive,

we must be like lions who only raise strong cubs.

Shouldn't we also cut ties with weaker subcontractors...

and only work with those that are stable?

Rumor has it...

that some of those more stable subcontractors include companies...

are run by family members of Director Jo.

Once you have Seongwoo buy Cheongil,

you'll help Seongwoo become a larger company and go public.

Filling their pockets is...

what you're aiming for.

It's what you've been doing to other subcontractors.

You...

Who do you think you are to make those accusations?

(Letter of resignation)

When you asked me to help Cheongil,

the company surviving wasn't what you wanted.

You wanted Cheongil to go under and for me to resign.

Do Joon!

When you gave me a chance, I was grateful.

I thought you were different,

but being used by someone I trusted...

comes to me as a huge betrayal.

I've been trying hard to live a good life,

but that...

doesn't seem possible at this company.

Most of all,

I never want to become like you.

Take care, sir.

Hello.

I came by to say something.

I want to officially apologize...

to the employees of Cheongil.

I'm truly sorry.

We all know that you worked hard to help us,

so what are you apologizing for?

Everything that I did...

after I came here on the premise of helping you.

The layoffs, the additional order of products,

and the suggestion of letting Seongwoo buy you out...

wasn't for Cheongil...

but for TM.

My desire to do well got the best of me,

and I confused you and hurt you in the process.

Well...

As an employee of TM,

I'm sure you had your reasons.

I understand, Mr. Park.

Everyone here knows how much you tried to help us...

while trying to do well by your company too.

No matter what my intentions were, nothing justifies my actions.

I apologize once again.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I resigned.

I thought of doing so several times a day,

but now I feel...

both empty and relieved now that I have quit.

It's an odd feeling.

I'm sure that's the case.

If I hung in there and survived in any way I could...

to a position of power,

I thought I could do some good.

I thought I could change how things work.

It's what kept me going.

Enduring what was wrong until that time comes...

seemed impossible.

During that time,

I could turn into a monster.

I didn't know...

if that was a life I wanted to have.

It must've been hard for you.

Well, no one in this world has it easy.

Do you remember that day?

When I told you that TM was severing its contract,

you followed me out,

acknowledged how I helped you,

and thanked me for everything I did.

What you said...

gave me...

a lot of courage.

There are a lot of things I'm grateful for too.

I was glad when you first came to help us...

and also when...

you helped our cafeteria worker.

Before,

when you told me you knew...

how hard I was working,

I was touched.

Do you remember the time when I said...

I misdialed your number?

Yes.

Truth be told, it wasn't a mistake at all.

I was going through a rough moment...

and needed a friend to talk to.

Then I was suddenly reminded of you.

You know, I'm not with TM anymore.

That's right.

You can tell I'm shaking, right?

Yes.

Would you like a sedative?

I'll get it.

Cheongil Electronics' vacuum cleaner will go on air soon.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Gather round. - Let's do this.

1, 2, 3.

- Let's do this! - Let's do this.

Sit down.

- A cordless vacuum cleaner. - It's starting.

It's Cheongil Electronics' first product.

This can clean the floor, beds, carpets,

- everything. - That. That's it.

My sister's company made that.

- That's it. - Right.

What did you think when you tried it?

- It was really good. - I know.

- Right? - Isn't that incredible?

I use this at home myself,

and its functions are incredible.

Of course. We made it.

The wait time is getting longer because the calls are pouring in.

It's quicker to order using the automated system.

That's right.

She says to use the automated ordering system.

Who didn't buy it yet? You didn't?

- Buy one. - Am I the only one?

That's right.

It's really good.

- I got one for my sister. - I'm going to get one for mine too.

That's right. It's cost-effective.

You'll agree once you test it out for yourself.

Many people have pets at home.

The puppies are adorable, but the hair is a problem.

I think this is a must-have for families...

with small children especially.

I think we'll be sold out very soon.

If you're hesitating, you should call now.

The Cheongil Electronics vacuum cleaner is almost sold out.

- If you're still deciding... - It's sold out!

- Oh my gosh! - please call quickly.

It is almost sold out.

There is a brush spinning inside,

slapping the floor as it sweeps across it.

It sucks in the dust that is released,

letting you clean much more effectively.

I use this at home myself,

and its functions are incredible.

If you're on the phone now, you're getting the last ones.

We are completely sold out.

- Sold out. - Awesome.

We sold out!

We sold out!

We sold out! We did it!

Oh my gosh!

Awesome!

Mommy! Did Auntie's vacuum cleaner sell out?

Yes! It sold out!

It's sold out!

It's sold out! Sold out!

If we do this...

Mr. Oh. Mr. Myung.

Our vacuum cleaner...

sold out completely on home shopping!

We sold out!

Really?

Wow...

Mr. Oh. Our vacuum cleaner sold out.

What's with that look?

Isn't that a given?

Yes, it's a given, but I'm still happy. Aren't you?

You are, right?

This is awesome.

- Right? - Absolutely.

We sent the request, but Cheongil isn't reacting.

- I'll pressure them more. - No.

Stop it.

- Sorry? - Don't take it any further.

It'll only make things worse.

What do you mean?

What about us?

Just wait.

Don't do anything rash.

Yes, sir.

What now?

Why? Can't I even call?

I said to wait.

Forget it. Wait for what?

Hwang Ji Sang. Just because it isn't your life,

you shouldn't be careless with someone else's life.

If nothing happened,

something will happen soon, so stay tuned.

Stop living life like such a conniving...

weasel, okay?

Is this jerk drunk?

(Incoming call from H)

The person you have reached...

Has he lost his mind?

What's up?

I have witnesses lined up for the lawsuit.

What more should I do?

Hold on.

Don't do anything.

Wait until you hear from me.

Sir.

Mr. Oh Man Bok woke up and keeps calling me.

- What should I do? - That's your problem.

Mr. Oh. Everyone's going out tonight. You're coming, right?

I find things like that a little too uncomfortable.

But Ms. Lee said to make sure I bring you.

If you don't go, then...

Well, I can't go either.

I'll just work.

I can't go.

I can't go. That's fine.

Where is it at?

Okay.

With Cheongil Electronics' vacuum cleaner selling out,

we were confirmed a second broadcast...

on the home shopping channel!

Yes!

This is so gratifying.

It's joy at the end of suffering.

We finished modifying the mold for the new head,

so let's prepare to launch it.

Kim Ha Na is getting the contract in Taiwan.

This is just the beginning.

Okay. Fill your glasses.

We'll toast, "Let's win." "Let's win." Okay?

Let's have this happen often!

Who will lead the toast?

- Ji Han! - Me?

Okay.

Okay, then. Let's make a toast.

Cheongil Electronics!

- Let's win! - Let's win!

Great work.

Excuse me.

Eat this so you won't be sick tomorrow.

Thank you.

Did everyone else eat this?

Yes, I gave them out.

May I take another one?

I have a sales meeting tomorrow,

- so let me take an extra one. - Sure.

Miss Lee, you should eat one too.

You didn't because you were giving them out earlier.

Okay.

The drinks taste great today.

The world kept telling us to die.

Who knew this day would come for us?

It's because we had days like that, that a day like this came.

What...

You sound like we're brothers in arms rather than colleagues.

No, we are brothers in arms.

What we went through was a war. Am I wrong?

Let's drink!

Great work everyone.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Good work, everyone. - Cheers.

You're still up.

Hey, what are you doing here at this hour?

I had a company dinner with the employees.

And I suddenly thought of you.

"A company dinner"?

You drank with the employees?

You hate doing stuff like that.

I didn't want to go at first, and it felt awkward.

But it wasn't half bad.

I felt a lot closer to everyone.

And after some time, I realized that they're all good people.

Really?

You'll be allowed to leave tomorrow, so I'll come back for you.

Sleep well.

Philip.

Yes?

Thank you.

Thank you too.

- Mr. Park. - Yes?

I heard Cheongil's vacuum cleaner got sold out...

on the home shopping channel yesterday.

They're apparently launching a new product with a different head.

- Really? - Yes.

We shouldn't let our guard down.

I know you're all working very hard.

But we're piled with work, and we need more people.

I'm guessing the Sales Team needs more manpower...

now that I've started working in the lab.

Don't you think we should hire more people?

So I've been thinking.

How about we ask Mr. Ha to return?

Well...

If we hire someone new, it'll take time for them to adjust.

So it's best to have someone already familiar with the job.

Mr. Ha?

I'm not so sure about that.

He always brings everyone down with his negativity.

And he's always so rude to everyone.

People rarely change.

We can't always work with people that please us.

We need to work with people we need even if we don't like them.

And I'm sure Mr. Ha won't behave the same way as he used to.

You should all think about it.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Taemyoung Electronics, T Deluxe Vacuum Cleaner)

Mr. Yoo.

Yes?

Are you sure...

you can trust Mr. Ha?

I don't think we can differentiate who we can and can't trust.

It's mostly people whom we trust that end up betraying us.

I think giving us the USB was Mr. Ha's way...

of apologizing to us.

He probably thought about it over and over again.

And he would've needed to muster up the courage.

I do agree with you on that, but I don't think...

I'm generous enough to take him back.

The Mr. Ha I know might be a little different...

from the Mr. Ha you know.

We don't have to take him back, so don't feel pressured about it.

I'll also think things over.

Okay.

Where did I put it?

It should be here somewhere.

Hey.

Take a seat.

Ms. Koo.

Aren't you working here to help us takeover Cheongil?

I'm hearing some good news regarding Cheongil these days.

Are you planning to just sit back and watch?

No, sir.

I think I know a way.

Really?

What's that?

Well, we're going to need some help...

from TM Electronics.

What brings you all the way here?

I came to ask...

if you're willing to come back to the company.

You want to see me at work again?

No. To be honest, I don't.

But I realized that we have...

some things in common.

My greed was also what put me in this situation.

I'm sure you contemplated a lot when you gave us that USB.

But I'm guessing it was because...

you also didn't want Cheongil to go bankrupt.

If that's really how you feel,

why don't you come back and join us again?

It turns out that the company needs you.

You should think about it...

and call me.

How embarrassing.

(Sung Hyun Kyung)

Mr. Hwang.

You're not going to give up on Cheongil, are you?

(New Product Proposal)

We haven't heard from TM yet. Let's wait and see how things go.

But I think we should prepare a refutation...

for the certification of contents.

I should discuss that with an attorney, right?

Yes.

By any chance,

is there anything I can help you with?

Mr. Park.

I heard you quit.

Did something happen at work?

No, I just voluntarily resigned.

How about we offer him a job at our company?

I'd be more than happy to have him work with us.

I'll be gone once I'm done helping you with this issue.

Then we'll gladly accept your kind gesture.

Can you help President Lee...

deal with this?

I'm too busy dealing with our clients.

Okay, sure.

I'll call an attorney. We can go there together.

Thank you.

Sir, you're here.

We're not at the office, so quit being formal.

Yes, right.

Well, have a seat.

Why did you want to see me?

Right.

I've been worried about a few things, you see.

Really? About what?

- Let's have a drink first. - Sure.

Jong Beom,

I'll be honest since it's just you.

Sure, of course.

I don't think I can work under Mr. Moon anymore.

Why's that?

You know how Mr. Jo wants...

to quickly resolve the issue with Cheongil.

He's been losing out on all the chances because of Mr. Moon.

Right? Maybe it's because his brother-in-law works there,

but he always hesitates at the most crucial moment.

That's something I never expected from him.

The only one I can rely on now...

is you, Mr. Lee.

What are friends for anyway?

I'd appreciate you looking out for me.

When the new vice-president came,

those loyal to the old one were let go.

Talk about being brutal, right?

Anyway, you never know what the future holds.

I have a few shares of one of our partner companies...

that is about to go public.

I was thinking...

about opening up a new account under your name.

What do you say?

Ji Sang, I'm impressed.

This is clever of you.

One needs to survive, right?

Also, I have an idea...

that'll knock Cheongil down almost instantly.

What's that?

Hold on.

Yes, where are you?

Sure, come in.

Who's that?

I want to introduce you to someone.

So if we can prove that we're not at fault,

we won't have to pay for damages.

Yes, that's right.

You don't have to pay back the entire four million dollars.

Depreciation will be applied,

so you'll pay what the machines are now worth.

I see.

I'm hungry. How about we get lunch?

Sounds good. What should we eat?

I can gladly treat you to a meal.

(Cheongil Electronics)

It's payday tomorrow,

and thankfully, your salaries will be paid.

Gosh. That's a relief.

Let's keep making this a company that never skips a payday, Ms. Lee.

Sure, I'll do my best.

When things were bad before,

we still had to spend a lot of costs wining and dining our partners.

We don't have to do that anymore,

so I'm sure we'll soon be in the black.

Let's not accept any favors or give any for something in return.

We'll survive on the qualities of our products instead.

If we don't abuse our power,

we'll maintain a healthy relationship with our partners.

Yes.

If you and Mr. Song do your best,

our company will have a clean reputation.

Hear that?

She was mostly referring to you.

Okay, loosen your wrists.

1, 2, 3, 4. Loosen them up.

Now stretch up.

And 1, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

Clasps hands with the one in front of you.

Stretch to the right.

All right, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

To the other side.

Go, 1, 2, 3, 4. Now, up top.

All right, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Stretch!

Okay, now for the last stretch.

Batman!

Open up your shoulders.

If you look at the design,

we need to make sure that the display screen is on point.

- Could you two discuss... - Sure.

So in this case, we can...

- Thank you, everyone. - Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

It needs a bit more force.

This could later on wear out,

so make sure you consider that.

Also, be careful with the packaging.

Be gentle.

See? Look at this.

It already is scratched.

This shouldn't happen again.

Just so you know, I'm not angry or anything.

Goodness. The factory can't function without me.

Keep up the good work then.

Was I the only one talking?

- Carry on, everyone! - Thanks.

May!

Gosh, May.

Have you been well?

Yes, that's it. Goodness.

Good.

Have you eaten? How have you been?

This must be the latest model.

What on earth are you doing?

Do you have any idea how expensive this is?

Anyway, who are you?

Are you the new recruit starting today?

You're quite old to be a new recruit.

So what's your name?

It's Oh Man Bok.

Oh Man Bok? Oh Man Bok!

Gosh, that's such a dowdy name.

Unbelievable.

So what should I call you?

Mr. Oh? Mr. Man Bok? Wait, how about just Man Bok?

You can call me anything you want.

Gosh, I love your attitude.

Anyway, don't be nervous.

I'm kind of like the deputy chief of this factory.

Since no one's around, I'll let you in on a secret.

The president of this company...

is my sister-in-law.

The former president ran away after creating a mess,

so my sister-in-law had to handle the repercussions of it.

Ms. Choi, there you are.

I was just educating our new recruit.

- Really? - Yes.

Gosh, President Oh, when did you get here?

Be a gentleman, all right?

Are you feeling better now?

You weasel.

What?

I heard about the new head...

with the sterilization option, and I love it.

Companies die when they stay put.

Never be complacent...

and keep moving forward to survive.

Due to my health issues,

working at the company isn't an option now.

So don't even think about making me work for you.

And Sun Shim, I asked Mr. Yoo...

and all the employees.

They think you're doing great.

So do I.

You can say...

I ordered the employees around with an iron fist,

but I hear you trust them...

and respect them.

That's because...

I only knew what I did...

and nothing about how to run the company or anything else.

That's why I did that, naturally.

You must trust and respect them...

so the employees take ownership and work hard.

I couldn't do that.

Of course, that's not enough to run a company...

on that alone.

These people...

aren't the same people they were before.

They changed a lot.

It was inevitable.

Our youngest member...

was running around doing everything she could...

to save the company.

We felt bad for her, and we were ashamed, too.

We had no choice but to work hard.

You've done well until now, so please...

keep it up.

I'm going to just feed May...

and tighten screws in the factory...

like back when I started.

Don't cause trouble, and work hard.

Mr. Oh.

Members of Cheongil,

from this moment forth, the CEO of Cheongil Electronics...

is Lee Sun Shim.

Also, Miss Lee.

Tell me if anyone gives you a hard time.

I'll beat them to a pulp for you.

Okay. Keep up the good work.

Okay.

You look good. Okay.

Don't go too far. You have screws to tighten.

Congratulations, Madam CEO.

We're relying on you.

Sorry...

for taking it out on you before.

I'm sure you had no choice...

but to do as the company told you.

I had a lot pent up...

and was immature.

Not at all. It's fine.

It's hard for me...

to say this, but...

I wasn't so innocent either.

I wanted to get more orders,

so I wined and dined...

and bribed people.

Even if I had no choice in order to survive,

I was taking away opportunities from other people.

I thought that was the only way to keep the company afloat.

I thought my company would die without me.

It would've been tragic if I had closed shop back then.

Talks went well with Nasan back then.

I still don't know why it suddenly fell through.

Did your cold get worse?

Did you check your temperature?

Let me see.

Hey, let's get to the hospital.

I really don't want to go this time.

Eun Hye.

Please hold me.

(Nasan Corporation)

Ms. Koo. Let's meet for a few minutes.

What is this?

I'm sure you know.

Cheongil's financial statements that you gave Nasan's president,

forged to make it look like Cheongil had more debt than they did.

You did it to lower Cheongil's value to stop the sale.

What...

I had no choice.

Mr. Hwang made me do it.

You know what he's like.

I was too scared. I had no choice but to do as he said.

Regardless, you achieved that goal.

That's how you got your job at Seongwoo.

- That was Mr. Hwang... - Mr. Oh Man Bok is back.

I couldn't tell him because of his poor health,

but he'll find out soon.

What...

What's the point in disclosing this now?

- If you'd keep quiet... - No.

I can't do that.

I hate myself for believing you when you said you wanted...

to help Cheongil and Sun Shim.

Mr. Oh became hospitalized immediately after this incident.

He was comatose and almost died.

Once he finds out what you did, he will not sit still.

So you should apologize before then,

or prepare yourself.

(Sun Shim)

(Sun Shim)

(TM's Mr. Hwang Ji Sang)

Sit.

Mr. Hwang.

Help me.

How? You did it.

What? How could you...

I did it for you.

I did it for TM.

Did I tell you to do that?

You said you'd show me what you can do and crossed the line.

What... Why are you doing this?

You can cover up something like this easily.

Why must I do that?

But... Sir.

Don't mess with me again with that notebook.

If you do, I won't forgive you.

Our arrangement ended back then.

You fix your own problems. Got it?

Hello, Mr. Sung.

You should fire Koo Ji Na now.

Hey.

Hey.

Why is Mr. Oh sitting here doing that?

- He's working. - No.

He's watching us, don't you think?

I'm not here to keep my eyes on you. I'm here to work.

He has really good hearing.

That's not all.

I have good eye-sight as well.

We will soon be launching Miracle, a sterilizing vacuum cleaner.

(New Wireless Vacuum Cleaner, Miracle T1)

TM Electronics is equipped...

with the best technology when it comes to this field.

I assure you that there is no other company or product...

that can compete with this product.

Therefore, we will be able to dominate...

the sterilizing vacuum cleaner market.

Come in.

You asked for me, sir?

Ms. Koo.

I'm sorry to tell you this.

But you're no longer needed at our company.

Sir, what do you mean?

We're getting ready to launch our new product.

Why are you firing me all of a sudden?

I heard some scandalous things about you.

So I can't trust you anymore.

I heard you even broke the law.

- Sir, it's a misunderstanding. - No, forget it.

Whatever the case, you've lost my trust,

so I can't work with you anymore.

I'm sorry.

(The principles of accounting...)

(Koo Ji Na: Let's meet at the cafe in front of your house.)

What's up?

Sun Shim.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

But can you please help me?

Ji Na.

How could you ask me for help?

I'm really sorry.

But I don't want to help you.

I told you, didn't I?

I got hurt as much as I trusted you.

And I really hated you for that.

I thought I could never trust anyone again.

But I realized that not all people are like you.

Some people turn out to be good once you get to know them.

And some people give you strength just by being with you.

You want me to help you?

It'd be meaningless to help you...

because you haven't changed.

Don't you agree?

Ji Na.

I hope...

this will motivate you to change...

before it becomes too late.

Before you lose a lot more.

I'll be off now.

Ms. Choi.

I bought snacks.

- Nice. - I want some too! Let me be first!

Here you go.

- Here. - Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Oh, what will you buy us tomorrow?

I'll get you sundae.

- Nice. - Sundae?

- Great. - Thank you, sir.

Don't mention it.

Here. Take one each.

Please hand them out.

You didn't have to get this for us.

Please hand them out.

Here.

Ms. Jung.

What are these rice cakes for?

Is it someone's birthday today?

Today's the day we launch our new product.

- I see. - I have a good feeling about this.

I feel like it'll do really well.

I agree. Mr. Oh developed this based on his scientific knowledge.

It's really groundbreaking.

Small companies like us can only rely on good technical skills.

Mr. Oh, thank you for working so hard in the lab.

Thank you for your hard work.

My goodness.

I can't take credit for everything.

All I did was add a few ideas to the original technology...

that had already been developed at the very beginning.

I wonder who his father is.

I know, right?

His father must be very proud of him.

President Lee.

What do you think of him?

I think he's an amazing employee.

Behave like a gentleman.

- Welcome. - Hello.

- I'd like a hot Americano. - Okay.

(Miss Lee)

I can't believe this.

If our product is the same as TM's, it won't be easy.

Now, we just need to finally take over Cheongil.

How are things in the online market?

We're getting more and more returns.

We might have to withdraw our vacuum cleaners...

because of the low sales rate.

We were hanging from a cliff, but we managed to come this far.

Why don't we just keep going?

We just need to make good products and do our best to sell them.

The employees have become more resolute and cooperative.

This might really be our last opportunity.

We'll be able to make it, right?
