What? Did you have another bad dream?

Oh... No.

Goodness.

You say that but you're nervous to go back to the center, right?

Go on upstairs and sleep comfortably.

I'm so sorry. I had too much to drink last night.

- I'll go ahead. - Okay.

See you.

Goodness.

It's high time he get over it himself.

Father.

- Why not sleep in bed? - The national team selection...

- scandal... - Father.

and suspicion of the coach's assault...

has caught the sports world on fire.

- The Skating Union... - Father.

why not sleep in your room?

To figure out the truth,

they will launch a fact-finding committee.

Coach Oh Dal Sung claims he did not assault athletes...

and states that he will cooperate with the fact-finding committee.

The Winter Olympics is just months away,

and there is much concern that Korea's...

future in short-track is in trouble.

When a sandstorm sweeps through a desert,

anything that lives instinctively crouches low.

Were you assaulted by Coach Oh Dal Sung,

or did you see him assault someone else?

Did you see him assault someone else?

Did you see him assault someone else?

I will protect the informant's identity.

You just have to tell me the truth.

I won't let you suffer at all.

I want to prevent such a mishap from happening again.

You can trust me and talk.

If it's too hard to say, you can just answer yes or no.

Were you assaulted by Coach Oh Dal Sung?

In a sandstorm...

where you can't even tell...

if the person right next to you is friend or foe.

All you can do is close your eyes...

and lie as low as you can.

You two can't talk.

It's him, isn't it?

Whatever you lot get up to,

I won't go down that easily.

You know what I'm like, don't you?

Face it.

Don't ignore it. Stare it down to the end.

Until it looks like what it really is.

Then you'll see that...

the identity of the trauma that squashes you...

is nothing but a contemptible little human.

You have completely lost your mind.

Do you think this will be it for me? That I can't come back?

Answer me you...

If you touch me once more,

I won't just stay put, Oh Dal Sung.

Oh Dal...

- Come back here. - Coach!

- Stop right there. - Coach.

A sandstorm changes the desert's topography,

and a map from the past becomes useless.

From that point on, trailblazers create new paths,

and their footsteps become a map.

My, I feel like I'm serving in the army for the second time around.

That's right. If I can't avoid it, I might as well enjoy it.

Three months will fly by anyway. Let's go!

(Korea National Training Center)

(Episode 4: The Trail Unmarked on the Map)

(Episode 4)

Ga Eul!

My, we're finally back.

Both of us.

What's going on? Did you follow me here?

Come on. Of course not. I had to come here.

Today is my first day.

- Don't tell me... No, right? - What do you mean?

I mean, during the games...

and the jacket up on the hill that day.

And you're here now?

Why are you so nice to me?

What? I can't be nice to you?

Don't tell me...

Do you have a crush on me?

For the first time, she is poking her head out of her shell.

She is scared of the world...

and doesn't trust people.

She never lets her guard down.

Now, I'm reaching my hand out to her.

Very slowly.

"I won't hurt you."

"I'm sure..."

"we can be good friends."

This is what they mean when they say "rapport."

(Rapport: A harmonious relationship between the client and therapist)

Of course, I'm fond of you.

You're my dear counselee...

and my best friend's sister.

Then...

about Oh Dal Sung... It wasn't you, right?

What?

Oh, that. No.

Lying can completely ruin a good rapport.

Then what are you doing here?

I'm here to work.

Today is my first day.

What do you mean?

You're here to work? What are you talking about?

Today is my first day.

Hold on.

Ta-da! I'm the national team's mental coach!

(You passed the interview for the mental coach position.)

I'm against this decision.

I can't let him join the team.

You initially agreed with me, so why...

Because he was in a mental institution?

My gosh.

Are you allowed to leak your patients' information as a doctor?

I'm no longer a doctor.

I can't be denied a job...

because of my mental health records, Dr. Park.

That's not the reason. You're...

You're just too...

You're a nutjob.

Hey! Big news!

He's back. He's here!

Who? Is it a famous athlete? What's with all the fuss?

Gil. Jegal Gil is back.

That lunatic, Jegal Gil?

What? Jegal Gil, the Big Foot?

The Big Foot? No. It was Big Balls.

The dead sire's name...

was Big Balls.

Anyway, that punk...

marched in like this...

and did a flying kick.

He smashed and broke everything...

and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"The Korean national team. Bull spit!"

Pardon? "Nephew?" Does it mean his uncle was on the national team?

Gosh, he has such terrible diction.

How does he even deliver sermons?

In any case, the important thing is...

More importantly, that punk is...

Out of all the kids I've seen at the training center over the years,

- he was the craziest one. - he was the craziest one.

There will be another bloodbath.

Save us, the merciful Buddha.

"Nutjob?" Are you serious?

You're a doctor. You shouldn't use such bad words.

It's not what I said. Everyone calls you...

He is a bit weird, but I wouldn't call him a nutjob.

He's strongly opinionated. On the other hand,

you're getting too worked up right now, Dr. Park.

What? Me?

That is not true.

For no reason,

you're convinced that I hired this guy.

What?

If it wasn't you, then who...

I hired him.

Mr. Gu, you were against this too.

I thought we had an agreement. You can't do this.

We all know what happened on the ice.

All things aside, we need an athlete-turned-mental coach,

who can deeply understand the members of the team.

That sure sounds reasonable.

So you agree with me, right?

Well, I'm not sure because I am concerned too.

He caused trouble at the center in the past, didn't he?

I guess you could call it "trouble."

But then again, I'm not sure.

Once, there was an incident where a group of them went missing.

- Everyone went bonkers. - Where could they be?

We combed through the area and found...

the first doghole in the history of the national training center.

Hey, you punk!

Hey! Get back here!

Hey!

Those who sneaked out through the doghole...

were all caught at a club nearby.

There were a bunch of them, so they tried to cover it up.

Those at the security and religious support offices were reprimanded.

But the one who came up with the idea got away with it.

A doghole? That's it?

It's not a laughable matter.

Once it's dug,

it will always be there no matter how many times you try to fill it.

That was when unprecedented problems started to occur.

The athletes kept sneaking out without permission.

Drinking and smoking aren't allowed on the premises,

but we started seeing empty liquor bottles and cigarette butts.

One athlete even lost a medal that he could've easily won.

You fool. You'd win a gold medal if you went down a weight class.

What have you been eating? You went up a weight class!

I really wasn't going to eat, but...

Hey, what did you eat? Tell me.

What on earth have you been eating?

That fiasco also began because of that hole.

Who ordered jjajangmyeon?

The mental health support team took a direct hit.

A number of people on the team got fired...

for not taking good enough care of the athletes.

And the person who dug the hole was...

A few years later, the monk confessed the truth to me.

I asked him why he didn't tell me back then.

He said he got caught...

while having chicken soup.

Jegal Gil used that to cut a deal with him.

But that's nothing serious...

This is why I say you won't get it unless you were an athlete yourself.

The national training center is a tightly controlled environment.

It's the cradle of elite sport education.

An embankment can collapse because of a small hole.

And low morale among the national team members...

will directly affect their performance.

That's why I hired Jegal Gil.

Who hits athletes to train them these days?

Times have changed. It won't help them perform better.

That's true.

Dr. Song, why do you keep changing your words?

In my opinion, the flying kick and other things that happened...

- He's too dangerous. - Hear me out.

Yes, I agree.

Dr. Song, why do you keep changing...

Dr. Park, I'd like you to provide him with guidance...

on the athletes who are assigned to him.

Pardon me?

Dr. Song, why is that the conclusion?

Then...

it's 2 versus 1, so we've reached a democratic agreement.

End of discussion.

What is the real reason?

Complaining about getting hired?

Well, I did apply for the job,

but I didn't think I'd get it.

I don't know about the two doctors,

but I was sure that you'd be against hiring me.

Why did you think that?

There are many reasons.

I rebelled against my seniors and provoked them.

You can't be doing this because you feel bad for destroying my life.

(How to Use the Counseling Program)

This is why you can never beat me.

You're shortsighted.

I can't stand seeing one of my juniors...

scamming people and humiliating my fellow sportsmen.

My goodness.

Lies should be delivered most sincerely.

That I should learn from him.

(Sports Science Center)

It was him.

Jegal Gil, that jerk, designed this to damage my career and reputation.

And do you have proof of that?

Well...

(Korean Olympic Committee)

- What now? - Please take a look at this.

At what, exactly?

Reporter Park Hyun Soo at Sunday Morning.

I looked into it, and he's a former sports shooter.

He was with Jegal Gil that day.

Also...

Anyway, Gil is out for revenge...

I mean, he did this to get Cha Ga Eul on the national team.

Would he go this far though?

Have you forgotten?

Cha Ga Eul's brother is Cha Moo Tae...

who is Jegal Gil's best friend.

- Right. - Exactly!

Meanwhile, an investigation into Park Sang Do,

the head of the Korea Skating Union,

will be launched involving his bribery charges.

The Winter Olympics is right around the corner,

and many are concerned that the scandal will affect...

Park Sang Do, you putz.

An investigation into you will lead to me as well.

I'll make sure it doesn't happen.

I have connections within the prosecution office,

so there's no need to worry.

What about you, Mr. Gu?

I put you in charge because you were a competitive athlete,

but you failed to recognize any of the issues.

- I apologize, sir. - This is exactly why...

dense athletes should never be in a position of power.

(Park Sang Do, Head of Korea Skating Union, )

(Under Investigation for Bribery)

Chairman Go's left-hand man is now out of the picture.

(Park Sang Do, head of Korea Skating Union, )

(was sent home after a questioning of three hours.)

All that's left is his right-hand man.

(High Sports)

I informed Yeo Woon as you asked.

Her sponsors aren't taking this lightly.

It'll hurt her image if she defends the abusive coach.

Her good image will easily be restored...

once she wins a medal.

What about Moo Kyeol's good image?

You know about the gossip that surrounds them.

He's a star swimmer.

He should be your priority.

Moo Kyeol's already a superstar.

The skaters should get a piece of the pie too.

Exactly.

We're the ones who win all the medals,

but Lee Moo Kyeol earns all the money...

despite the measly three medals he has won so far.

In economics, it's called scarcity value.

Study up, will you?

Why brag about being a dumb jock?

Noted, sir!

Did you hear the news?

The investigation into Coach Oh's abuse...

revealed two victims.

Two?

One of them is Ji Young, so...

It's not me.

Isn't it obvious?

Hey, Yeo Woon's here.

I heard there was an unsavory incident in the selection process.

I don't know by whose design but...

Cha Ga Eul.

- Yes? - You benefited from it.

Being lucky is also a talent, isn't it?

During the preliminary investigation,

two out of all skaters testified that there wasn't any abuse.

But know that the case will be reinvestigated shortly.

We are all responsible for any dirty scandals...

that happen within our field.

So until the investigation is finally put to rest,

I will refuse to train at the national training center.

You may stay if you do not agree with me.

Who do you think the other person was?

I'm not sure.

Are you looking out for your friend?

As if we have any here.

Not on the rink, I guess.

But we need at least one in our lives.

Without one, we'll soon crumble.

Take the others to the university training center.

We'll train there for the time being.

Got it.

(High Sports Agency)

- Take care, Yeo Woon. - Take care, Yeo Woon.

(High Sports Agency)

What will the reinvestigation mean for us?

We'll be summoned yet again.

If Ji Young changes her story,

Ga Eul will be thrown under the bus.

Ga Eul might not be the one who talked.

It has to be her.

If I had gotten as bad as it as she did...

Why does Coach Oh hate her like his life depends on it?

She turned her back on him and joined a company team.

That hit a nerve.

But rumor has it that...

Let's not gossip, Moo Young.

Right.

It's our job to relate to the athletes,

but we should not force ourselves into their lives.

The head coaches hate that.

That over there is the Victory Center.

That much I know.

But not getting involved with violent and abusive coaches...

This is why I'm warning you.

If a mental coach meddles...

Okay, I get that you're a stickler for rules,

but not interfering...

when people break the rules is negligence.

That's not what I'm saying.

If we stick our noses in where it doesn't belong,

the athletes might suffer retaliation.

It's all the more reason to do our jobs subtly.

How dense must you be to let it show?

Where are you going? I wasn't finished!

- Why you... - Dr. Park.

Hey, Sun A.

Dr. Park, thanks to you,

I made it through the selection process.

Thank you so much.

Nonsense. This was all your doing.

Anyway, where are you headed?

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi.

Ms. Cha!

Ga Eul!

Ms. Cha!

Didn't you hear me call for you?

I did.

Why didn't you stop, then?

Don't act friendly when I'm around other athletes.

They'll misunderstand our relationship.

As if they would.

Don't you have anything to say to your coach?

You're not my coach.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

I don't, all right?

Where did all the other skaters go?

They'll get their training somewhere.

It's what I need to do as well.

Paranoia,

cares extensively about what others think,

impossible to build rapport.

You'll talk eventually.

- Please. - Could you?

- Come on. - Please.

Finally, reality is kicking in.

I can't believe I'm actually back here.

The ant maze where I shed blood, sweat, and tears.

The national training center.

A place for the one-percent elite athletes in Korea.

Depending on the color of your medal,

you are discriminated.

It's a miniature of the competitive world we live in.

Only one gets to sit on the throne.

And it's impossible for athletes not to become losers here.

That's the reason I detest this place,

and why I returned.

You know what boxing is, right?

To bring up one boxing gold medalist,

five or six other athletes fall to the side. Why?

To build up the star's confidence,

the others have to become their prey.

The rich become richer, the poor poorer.

The rich make more money,

and the same athletes keep winning medals.

What happens to the others, do you think?

What happens?

What do you think happens?

They're demoted to sparring partners,

hurt their ligaments and their mentality.

Then one day, they wake up with a searing pain in their bodies...

and they sit up and realize.

"Oh. I'm not meant to be."

Yes. But, however...

no one in the world isn't meant to be.

National team athletes all have the same skills.

Where does the mentally stronger one win if their skills are on par?

The mentally stronger one wins in sports!

That happens in sports. That's what sports is.

Do you want to be stronger?

- Do you want to be stronger? - Yes.

- Yes. - Come see me.

Feel free.

Guys. Don't train too hard. Your bones will weaken.

Just have fun. Enjoy what you do.

He who works hard can never beat he who enjoys.

Never, okay, bye.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Enjoy yourselves.

- Enjoy yourselves. - Thank you.

Why did you train so long with weights on your first day?

Too much weight training makes lactic acid build up...

and that can cause acute muscle pain.

That hurts.

Oh Sun A, watch your center of mass.

Moo Young, lean in further!

Flatten your hand when you touch the ice!

Do what Yeo Woon does!

Yeo Woon, nice!

That's it, do what Yeo Woon does!

So, 8.23 seconds. Han Yeo Woon's good.

Who taught you so well?

Yeo Woon.

Well done.

Only sign if you agree with it.

(Petition to Reinstate Oh Dal Sung)

I don't mind the other stuff,

but if he hits the kids in training...

Then don't sign it. I'm not forcing you to.

Switching a coach right before the Olympics is like banning them...

from winning a medal.

Mr. Oh's the one who taught Han Yeo Woon.

In skating, you must follow the best to improve.

She's right.

(Name: Mo A Reum)

(Ji Soo's family, Oh Sun A's family)

Good. Then everyone here agreed.

Come on.

You won't do it, then.

It's no big deal.

Spare some time.

All the time you want.

- Then do your thing. - Sure.

So where are you?

Moo Kyeol, wait, you don't have to...

Just wait. Let's talk some more.

Who is sending you out so mercilessly?

How about we call it a day?

I decide how much to train.

Your pace is all messed up.

Does skating brainlessly count as training?

It will get better. I will get better.

I always did.

You're like a deer running from something.

No one's chasing you.

Why are you running when no one's chasing?

It's because no one's chasing.

Because no one's behind me.

Short-track is a ranking game.

I can't speed up without a competitor.

I must push myself on.

That's how you become roadkill.

Feel chased and it's over. Be intimidated and you'll get caught.

Don't feel intimidated, Ga Eul.

You feel more afraid and intimidated because you think there's no one.

Look carefully.

I'm right in front of you. On your side.

Don't feel intimidated.

How about you and your coach get some jjolmyeon?

You're not my coach.

You went too far with the sister...

of your best friend to brush it off with jjolmyeon.

Jjolmyeon's not that big of a deal.

It's not even spaghetti.

There's no jjolmyeon here.

I can't sneak out for jjolmyeon.

Why did he even mention that?

Do you really have nothing to say to me?

I don't, I really don't.

Why have you been bugging me all day?

I thought we'd gotten quite close.

Was that just me?

People can't tell unless you speak up.

What's happening to you,

what kind of help you need,

you need to tell me if I'm to know.

If I tell you, will something change?

You need to say it to see if something does or not.

You can trust me and talk.

I won't let you suffer at all.

I won't let you suffer at all.

It must've been hard to talk about.

Thanks for telling me.

Let's try and find a way.

It'll be the same.

I don't trust anyone.

I don't need help.

You said you couldn't speed up with no one else.

If you don't trust anyone or accept help,

you'll have to push yourself and feel chased forever.

If you can't see an ally standing before you,

can you see them in the rink?

You must reach out first if you don't want to feel chased.

The decision is up to you.

Okay?

Oh, whatever.

(How to Use the Counseling Program)

How is Cha Ga Eul?

She just trains like crazy.

Was she the informant?

It's not like she's a spy.

Why should I tell you that anyway?

I'm asking because I'm concerned too.

If you're concerned, can you talk to your skaters...

and persuade them?

I'm warning you. Don't think of getting involved.

Our job starts with respecting whatever decision they make.

Even if they take the wrong path?

On that path they'll learn...

how to pick a path.

Then and now,

you always say what's right.

(Counseling Room 2)

Can you step out of the way? I'm going home.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

(How to Use the Counseling Program)

It looks like you've not yet recovered completely.

All the skaters are boycotting training?

They're reacting harder than I thought.

But she won't tell me that important fact.

Are you sure Ga Eul's the informant?

That's what she won't tell me.

There's no rapport whatsoever. There's a massive wall between us.

It's obvious.

The other skaters' moms got together...

and signed a petition to bring Oh Dal Sung back.

Yes. And Oh Dal Sung was at Jo Ji Young's home.

If Jo Ji Young changes her story, what'll happen next?

They'll look for the whistle-blower.

We must do this.

Our job starts with respecting whatever decision they make.

No.

If it's not what she wants,

it's right to drop it.

If you don't trust anyone or accept help,

you'll have to push yourself and feel chased forever.

(Jegal Gil)

Did I make it up?

What did you say that they want to see me in counseling?

If it wasn't you, just say so.

If you can't take it, join a company team.

Get so good that no one can touch you.

More talk will only get you hurt.

You feel more afraid and intimidated because you think there's no one.

Look carefully.

I'm right in front of you. On your side.

I'm here. Talk to my face, Lee Moo Kyeol.

[VIU Ver] tvN E04 'Mental Coach Jegal'
"The Trail Unmarked on the Map"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What? Lee Moo Kyeol?

(With Health Club, 3F)

Hang on.

All right, you're good to go.

How have you been?

Why are you all quiet?

Just go bring it, will you?

Okay.

Hey, bring it.

I can relate to Ga Eul.

You see, guys like Gil aren't popular among girls.

Men who are too handsome make you uncomfortable.

Only women like me can handle him.

- Have you lost your mind? - What's wrong with your eyes?

Hey, I can hear you.

I can hear you guys loud and clear. You little...

Why can't I open this?

Hey, you need to twist this open like this.

It's not easy to make someone open up to you.

Hey!

- Big news! - What's going on?

Is it about Han Yeo Woon?

Han Yeo Woon isn't important now.

Hey, you know Lee Moo Kyeol, right?

The swimmer?

He isn't just a swimmer.

The swimming prodigy. The miraculous champion. The world's number one!

Yes, that swimmer.

Fine. Yes, that swimmer.

Do you know where he went?

Do I have to know that? My goodness.

- If you loved me - Hold on. Be quiet.

Hey, Bok Tae! One moment.

Okay.

Hi, Ga Eul.

You know, the jjolmyeon.

Can we go have some now?

What? Jjolmyeon?

Where is he?

Over here, the wire fence.

I'm right here. See the wire fence?

Behind the chicken coop. Yes, right here.

Be careful.

Oh, my. Careful.

You can sneak out so easily because you're petite.

I thought there was a hidden passage or something.

Come on. There's a history and tradition behind this doghole.

Go up. This way.

Okay, you made the right decision.

Let's have some jjolmyeon...

and have an honest conversation.

Ga Eul! The jjolmyeon place is this way. Come here.

Ga Eul! Where is she going?

You won't tell me where we're going?

You see,

I don't trust anyone.

I can't trust anyone.

I couldn't even if I tried,

but I want to trust people.

It's so pathetic.

It's not pathetic. It means you're strong.

You keep trying even when you know it won't work...

and try to trust others when you feel like you can't.

Only strong people can do that...

because it'd be much easier to just give up and not trust anyone.

I'd like to share the results of our preliminary investigation with you.

Everyone on the team, except for two people,

said their coach did not hit them.

And Jo Ji Young, who brought this to our attention,

signed the petition to reinstate Coach Oh Dal Sung a few days ago.

(Disciplinary Committee, Gu Tae Man)

Why did you change your stance?

Ji Young, I can't give up here...

because I can't let your potential go to waste.

Mom. You don't care even if I get beaten up, do you?

Of course, I care.

I told you. He promised me that he'd never do it again.

My dear daughter. You will listen to me, right?

I didn't follow the strategy,

so he kicked me in the shin a couple of times out of anger,

but that was it. He didn't actually hit me.

I got too emotional and wrongfully accused him. I feel bad.

(Disciplinary Committee, Gu Tae Man)

At the moment, the women's short-track team...

is boycotting their training,

asking Coach Oh to be reinstated.

With the Olympic Games right around the corner,

the Union believes that we should be lenient.

Here's the petition requesting Coach Oh Dal Sung's reinstatement.

(Oh Sun A, Mo A Reum, Park Ji Soo, Kim Moo Young, Jo Ji Young)

(Cha Ga Eul)

(Jo Ji Young)

Hey! I'm making a special exception to let you off this time.

If your team doesn't win medals after the trouble you caused,

you'll never be able to work in the sports industry again.

Okay? Do you understand?

I will never forget your kindness, sir.

I don't know about other things, but he'll be sure to bring us medals.

Here is a small token of my gratitude, sir.

Chang Gil, you're always looking out for him.

I'm looking out for you, sir.

The election is coming up.

The box is filled to the brim with herbal medicine.

I wish you good health and longevity.

As for Jo Ji Young, she got the money back,

so it wasn't really a bribe.

I believe it's fair that we let her off.

If we were to do that,

then should Cha Ga Eul be kicked out of the team?

From her point of view, that would be really unfair.

Then why don't we kick out the other one who gave a false statement?

It is considered calumny.

Except for one of them, everyone on the team is saying...

that Coach Oh never hit them.

So it'd be right to assume that it never happened.

Do any of you want to change your statement now?

Ms. Cha? Would you like...

to change your statement?

No, I stand by my previous statement.

Are you sure it never happened?

If it's hard for you to tell us the details, you can just say yes or no.

Has Coach Oh Dal Sung...

ever hit you?

Yes.

Oh Sun A. It was you, wasn't it?

- Why are you suspecting me? - Because it wasn't me.

We're not the only ones on the team. There are other girls too.

Why do you think it was me?

He picks on you the most...

because you're the ace of the team.

So?

If we don't want Oh Dal Sung to come back,

we must tell the truth.

Do you actually think it can be done?

Even you kept it to yourself.

I didn't think anyone would talk.

I thought I'd get on his bad side...

and get kicked out for good if I told the truth.

- I didn't know you'd expose it. - I told you it wasn't me.

They want to find the whistleblower and expel them.

- Let's talk to the girls and... - They won't talk.

No, they can't.

Their moms have signed the petition too.

They can't even join a company team if Coach Oh has it out for them.

How could I ask them to tell the truth?

How could they do it when their future depends on this?

Then what about you?

Don't be nosy. Just leave.

You'll be expelled if they see that you sneaked out.

We gave Ms. Cha a chance to change her statement,

but she is showing no remorse.

She should be reprimanded for defamation.

Don't you agree, Mr. Gu?

Right. But by that logic,

someone else should be reprimanded, not Ms. Cha.

The person who reported Coach Oh's abusive behavior...

was someone else.

Someone else? Who?

That...

I can't tell you.

I must protect the informant's identity.

What do you want me to do?

Please make sure that the informant...

won't be affected in any way.

Trust me. You've got nothing to lose.

Hey, are you doing this...

because of Cha Ga Eul?

My goodness.

This is why you can never beat me.

You're shortsighted.

I can't stand seeing one of my seniors...

scamming people...

and humiliating my fellow sportsmen.

What am I saying? Anyway...

Who's this?

It's Lee Moo Kyeol.

What the...

Is this No Sang Sik?

This is No Sang Sik,

the expelled track athlete.

Exactly.

Han Yeo Woon went to see Lee Moo Kyeol,

and this is where he entered.

Why do you think that is?

- That must be it. - Exactly.

- That's it, isn't it? - Yes, that.

Sang Sik!

Where did he go?

Sang Sik?

Sang Sik? There you are. Goodness.

Our mindless moron, Sang Sik. It's been a while.

Have you been well?

Good.

- Get lost! - Why should we?

You're scaring us, boys.

I broke a sweat.

Must you exhaust me? Get over here, kid.

Look at him dancing.

Unbelievable.

Gosh.

Seriously.

Sang Sik,

you should...

greet your seniors, not run away from them.

- Gosh, Gil. It's good to see you. - Same here.

When did your leg get better?

It snapped back into shape...

when I launched myself at a rat just like you.

I see. Anyway...

I haven't been anywhere near your boys.

They're not who I'm here to ask about.

What did Lee Moo Kyeol buy from you?

Lee Moo Kyeol met with No Sang Sik.

Things just got juicier.

It might've made things easier.

There are only six slots on the team.

One must leave.

Let's have the team decide on that their own way.

Coach Oh and Jo Ji Young will be given a pass this time.

That'll be all.

Was it Sun A?

I did not expect him to keep quiet about the rat.

I would've talked too had I known that.

Jegal.

You still got it.

You let him have it for free?

Don't you know how much that's worth?

Don't forget our rules.

We may sell information, but we don't sell out athletes.

The bait must stay alive to catch a big fish.

(Korean Olympic Committee)

If you had raised your hand, they would've kicked you out.

Two is better than one, and three is better than two.

Who knows, right?

I can't believe you still trust people.

You talked, didn't you?

Did you forget about the other things I said?

I'm telling you not to get foolishly involved in this.

You're not even serious about it.

I am.

Short-track is a ranking event,

but without competitors to race with,

I will never get any faster.

Alone, I will not be able...

to achieve anything.

And you're the one I want to race with.

There are these types of moments.

The hand I held out for myself...

could be for you to take.

The action to heal another...

could comfort me instead.

A moment where selfishness and selflessness co-exist.

That girl.

Moo Tae's sister.

She's Cha Ga Eul, right?

She's like you, you know. As in, stubborn.

Unfortunately, people like her can sometimes break.

She'll need to break once in order to fully understand life.

Those who have never been broken before...

might not get up...

once they're put down.

Gosh.

I'm thrilled to have you here.

It's a given with love and friendship,

but not being able to do it alone...

is also the case with competitions...

where your only options are to win or to lose.

I'll see you around, Tae Man!

Here we go.

Bring on the extra round.

How did it go?

What? Well, it went well.

Why are you here though?

Me? To get ID card.

I see.

Right, well...

Aren't you headed to the national training center?

What?

Right.

(Radio)

Head inside, then. I'm now off the clock.

I see.

The jjolmyeon.

Can I take a rain check?

Coach.

Finally,

a rapport has been built.

Gosh.

Nice!

I'm off, then.

Has Coach Oh been hitting you?

- A little. - A little?

That's usual for athletes though.

Don't you remember your brothers?

They got beaten with baseball bats,

but still managed to win gold.

Now, their former coaches grovel at their feet.

That's how you get your revenge on Coach Oh.

Why would you speak up?

Getting on his bad side...

will only put you in Ga Eul's shoes.

Gosh.

Meanwhile, the talk of the town...

has to be Lee Moo Kyeol's return to the national training center.

After achieving the grand slam,

he became a world-champion swimmer.

Up until now, he has insisted on training abroad.

Could there be a reason as to why he wishes...

to train at the national training center?

- Come on. - Please.

- Come on, tell us about it. - You were great!

- You're awesome. - It's me next year.

Cha Ga Eul.

Are you leaving because you didn't make the team?

Yes.

Then this will be the last time we meet.

I won't come back here.

I want to erase every memory of this place.

It blows.

If he maintains the record he's managed to so far,

then to monitor his mentality,

returning to the training center isn't a bad decision.

But is that possible is the issue that remains.

Yes. His sponsor paid him...

almost three million dollars,

so they can't be pleased about his return to the center.

His record...

Three million dollars?

Gil. Do you think we went too far?

It's their money, not ours.

He is so irresponsible sometimes.

There could be a power struggle...

between the national team and his sponsor?

I'm seeing signs already.

They couldn't agree on when he should enter the center.

Lee Moo Kyeol's personal...

Are you really going to come back?

Yes.

Why do you want to come back when others are dying to leave?

At a time like this too.

It's the national training center.

Cut off from the outside world.

(Korea National Training Center)

Hey, Cha Ga Eul.

Did you think I couldn't come back?

You spoke up thinking so, but too bad.

I'm back.

Your coach is still talking.

Stop where you are.

Cha Ga Eul, stop!

- That... - I said no interfering.

Still, if we let them be...

It's her business.

Yes, fine, I get it.

Darn it.

Hey. You little...

What punk...

The weight of four years just vanished from my shoulders.

This is why one must succeed.

Has it been four years?

Hi, Cha Ga Eul.

Gosh, he's really something.

You should call the police.

What do you care?

Right, I shouldn't care.

Do what you want, then.

See that?

Your child's play won't get me fired. Why not?

Because the whole nation wants me so badly.

I am that cool.

Delusions of grandeur are incurable.

If you need treatment, don't come to me.

Go to Dr. Park standing way behind you.

If you come to me...

I might want to do exactly what you did...

to Young To.

Why do you think I came back?

Try to think with that brain of yours.

Fight me if you want!

Let's see who you'll vent at when I beat you up.

How many times must I say not to get involved in athletes' business?

I didn't get involved, Lee Moo Kyeol did.

I kept still.

You never back down and always get the last word.

Don't you dare point your finger at me.

- What? - At my face? That's infuriating.

He's a genius.

Korea was a wasteland for swimmers.

It's a miracle we have someone like Lee Moo Kyeol.

Right?

Head of the Swimming Union, you did well.

I didn't do anything. He did all the work.

That's true.

He stayed abroad for years to train.

That's why we brought him back to the center.

As you all know, his sponsor is displeased.

They fear he'll do worse once he moves here.

Why would he do worse? He'll win gold, naturally.

He's a genius.

We'll assign a personal mental coach.

I hope you do well, Mr. Lee.

I'm sure you will.

I don't need a mental coach.

Why don't you?

So people won't say moving here ruined your...

I'll keep my records.

I can manage my own mental health.

He'll find you the best of the best.

Darn it.

My gosh. I love it.

I wanted one so badly.

Me too.

- Let's take a selfie. - Sure.

Ready? One, two, three.

Are you that pleased?

Yes. Whenever you wore this to come to the rink,

I got so jealous.

It's something money can't buy.

Everyone says that at first.

So did they.

(Swimming Pool)

Hey, Lee Moo Kyeol.

Who are you?

So we need to assign...

swimmer Lee Moo Kyeol a mental coach.

Shouldn't the expert Dr. Park take him on?

- Yes. - No.

She can't handle the guy.

You can't, no way.

I'll take him on.

Hey. Do you doubt my expertise?

As if I would.

I'm appealing my non-expertise.

Lee Moo Kyeol is our greatest sports star.

Why do you say your non-expertise makes you more suitable?

Well, those who do as they're told can never come first.

If he's the best in the world,

he's the best in the world at disobeying.

Let's just put everything else aside.

A weirdo should be handled by a weirdo.

Nice to meet you.

I'm your personal mental coach Jegal Gil.

I don't need one.

- You must. - I don't.

Hello, my pretties.

Hello.

It's crazy, isn't it?

There's barely enough time to train,

and you get called here and there.

Of course I know how you feel.

I used to skate myself.

You just hate me, don't you?

You'd love to shoot me if you had a silent gun.

You all know that...

one of you seven has to pack up and leave.

Because of you know who.

I could make the executive decision,

but then people will complain about this and that.

I'll make it fair.

The six of you except for Han Yeo Woon.

One of you will be eliminated through a 1,000m open race.

You have a week.

Prepare for it yourselves.

One of us six will be out.

The game of musical chairs is back on.

Consultations will take place in the field.

The pool is empty at 10pm.

Be sure to wear your swimsuit.

Wow. You're a real weirdo.

Now you finally got my true identity.

I won't talk to a weirdo like you.

I do what I say I'll do.

Doing what you say you'll do is really bad.

You do drugs, don't you?

Should I guess what you're on?

So just come to me.

If you want to live.

(Mental Coach Jegal)

Let's talk.

Whose is this?

I bet you're suspecting everyone.

You can believe no one.

With information comes power.

That's why Gu Tae Man is keeping his seat at the Human Rights Center.

- Say it wasn't you! - Who do you think you are?

Did something happen between you and Moo Kyeol?

They've announced the date for the test.

You'd better decide wisely this time.

I guess the target is on the move.

Hold on.

Even if you run into me,

just pretend you don't know me.
