ALL NAMES, GROUPS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

That'll be 3,500 won.

Can I choose one more thing?

Of course.

Should we pick something for Mom?

What will she like?

All right.

-That's 4,000 won. -Keep choosing.

-This one. -Anything for me?

Hey…

BASED ON WEBTOON UNLOCK THE BOSS (UNLOCK MY BOSS) BY PARK SEONG-HYUN

CHOCO PIE

No.

JANG JU-SEONG

His name

was Jang Ju-seong.

I only found out

after his death.

Ju-seong…

I never got to call him by his name.

Read it all you want, where you're at.

You left without saying goodbye.

JANG JU-SEONG SKY, WIND, STAR, AND POETRY

How could you?

You're back.

Where did everyone go without me?

Here.

Did you buy this for me?

No.

It's from Uncle Mafia.

Why did he make you give it to me?

I know. Is it because he's shy?

Gosh, he's just like my friend, Ha-seung.

He seems to have been

a good person to someone.

Here.

Before he died, Jang Ju-seong

scouted around hospitals.

I think he was looking for someone.

There, there.

He was looking for Kim Seon-ju, right?

I thought Bumyoung ordered you

to get rid of Kim Seon-ju.

The CEO position was your reward.

What are you trying to say?

But seeing how you got dismissed…

I realized you were either

cast aside,

or never on their side to begin with.

He could be feigning ignorance for information.

Be careful.

I don't know what's going on,

but shouldn't you tell me something at this point?

Why should I share anything…

with the pawn of Bumyoung?

Me?

I'm not their pawn.

You closed

Mr. Kwak's case as suicide

and gave the Baro Version 4.0 report

to Mr. Oh.

I see.

I don't know how you knew about that,

but you're mistaken.

Goodness, I'm sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

It can happen.

Right, tell me about it.

There are so many people interfering with my work.

We found this in Mr. Kwak's car.

It was deeply hidden.

You're telling me Mr. Kwak hid this?

The rules demand I return a confidential document.

But could this be the reason why you killed Mr. Kwak?

You shouldn't be making things up when you manage the affairs of the nation.

Didn't the police conclude

that his death was a suicide?

To me, it's still a cold case.

Here.

Let's wait and see.

Right.

When you return to the station,

send my regards to Chief Hwang.

Let him know that I'm always grateful.

So you're not Bumyoung's pawn,

but a sniper targeting them?

How can I trust you?

Kwak Sam-su, Jang Ju-seong…

Did you think they were the only victims?

I've been watching Bumyoung for far longer

than you can imagine.

Here.

You'll find everything

in here.

Take a look at it.

If you change your mind,

give me a call.

BUMYOUNG'S ILLEGAL POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

"Mr. Park of Bumyoung Electronics committed suicide."

"Bumyoung's illegal political contributions."

What did Detective Choi say?

He asked me to cooperate if I knew anything.

Mafi…

Did he find the culprit who killed Jang Ju-seong?

They're still investigating.

I don't think they found a suspect yet.

Then why don't we tell them about Mr. No?

If they look through his phone or car,

they'll find something.

No.

Putting only Mr. No behind bars…

would make Mafi's death be in vain.

Especially at a time like this,

we need to stay cool.

Mr. Park.

Mafi…

texted me that the information was leaked.

MAFI: THE INFORMATION LEAKED

Only one other person knew that we planned to meet

at the gym.

You better hide or I'll catch you

Are you done hiding?

I told you not to call me first.

I'll call you when no one's around.

For now, let's cast the bait and wait.

We'll be back.

By the way,

what will you do for dinner?

We'll both be away on business.

You can have dinner with Min-a.

Is that so?

CEO PARK IN-SEONG

I'm sorry. I'm all done.

You're okay. Today's my first day back,

so I came earlier than usual.

-I see. -Yes.

Ma'am.

May I ask you what your name is?

You even care to know my name.

I want to remember the names of people I appreciate.

Yeong-sil.

Ko Yeong-sil.

Thank you, Ms. Ko Yeong-sil.

I wanted to thank you too,

Mr. Park.

-Yes. -I should get going.

I'm not sure

if it suits the situation,

but congratulations.

Sorry?

Before, you became the CEO because I named you as my replacement,

but this time, you reclaimed the position on your own.

Mr. Park.

What's the matter, Ms. Jung?

Hello.

Why would you come here?

What do you mean? The CEO of a subsidiary returned.

I should at least greet you.

"Greet"?

How brazen.

You killed him.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

How could you kill an innocent person?

To be honest, I've been curious since the beginning.

I know Mr. Kim pretty well,

and a man named Park In-seong was never around him.

What is your relationship with Seon-ju?

I mean, think about it.

You could become the next "innocent person."

Or…

perhaps your family?

What?

Ms. Oh, you know me well?

Sure.

You may know me well, but I don't think I knew you well enough.

That's why I ended up like this!

Who are you?

You're probably terrified

because of what you did.

What? What is this?

Damn it.

I spent too much time here. I have a meeting to attend.

What brings you here all of a sudden?

I'm sorry to have worried you.

Fortunately, I got a call, so we were able to react quickly.

He is Seon-ju.

Pardon?

Are you sure he's been unconscious?

Yes.

Ever since that day, he's been in this state.

Is this the real document?

How could I dare to make things up?

Mr. Kim asked me

to deliver this to Mr. Oh.

The leaves have gotten too big. Repot the plant.

I will prepare a new flowerpot.

Why aren't you coming?

I'm sorry I'm late, my little princess.

I'm almost there.

What's with their driving?

NOTIFICATION

We also bought garlic and…

Hello?

What's the name…

-It's not hot. -Min-a.

-We also bought… -The sound keeps cutting out.

What are they doing?

What? Did it break down?

What's…

Goodness.

There's somewhere you need to be.

Where is he going?

Damn it. Go after him!

Gosh.

-Hurry! -Run!

Chase him!

Go faster!

Darn it.

-Damn it. -Hey.

We have to catch him! Got it?

What? He's over there!

-Over there. -Gosh.

MONDAY, JUNE 10TH, 2022

Damn it.

What's wrong? Are you in pain?

Does it hurt?

Get up.

Let's go now.

-No… -Come on.

Go and check.

Damn it.

He suffered a diffuse axonal injury, so I took emergency measures,

but he is still unconscious.

So?

It is uncertain whether he'll regain consciousness,

but the longer it takes, the likelihood of it happening will decrease.

So?

I'm sorry. It was my mistake.

"Mistake"?

Can you afford to make mistakes?

I didn't think so.

I will take full responsibility.

Hold on a second.

PLEASE TRUST MR. PARK IN-SEONG AND GIVE HIM A CHANCE

IF HE'S GOLD, HE'LL SHINE. IF HE'S IRON, HE'LL RUST.

Okay, I'll treat you professionally as well.

-Mr. Kim? -Yes, Ms. Oh.

I truly am looking forward to working with you.

It is my pleasure.

Do you think

I made the right choice?

Why don't you wait and see?

If it's gold, it'll shine, and if it's iron, it'll rust.

There you go again.

Seon-ju was lying down unconscious in front of me,

but I received an email from him.

Someone else could've sent it through his email.

No. "If it's gold, it'll shine. If it's iron, it'll rust."

Seon-ju taught me that phrase.

I was anxious.

Someone appeared, acting like him.

It was hard to tell how much he had planned ahead.

So until I knew for sure…

I didn't want to act hastily.

If they have not made a move even after being cornered,

it means they have no cards, or their cards are useless.

That could be true.

A long tail is bound to be stepped on.

Since it has come to this, we should remove--

What do you think

they want the most?

Sorry?

Seon-ju will become the Joker for me.

Why did you act up? It was so unlike you.

What would Ms. Oh have thought?

She's probably more confused than anyone.

Since the unconscious Kim Seon-ju talked to her.

Yes, so why did you overplay your hand?

-It was for our sake. -Sorry?

Why do you think Ms. Oh is keeping both me and you alive?

She's anxious because she doesn't know what's in our hands.

So you lied on purpose?

It needs to look like you still have someone behind you.

Fear

of the unknown grows the strongest.

Se-yeon?

She's leaving the house right now. I'll send the address.

Who could she be waiting for?

I think they're here.

What are you doing?

My goodness. Mr. Park.

Goodness. What a terrible thought.

I was just…

Just what?

I was selling used items.

Sorry?

The thing is,

I thought it a pity to discard the clothes that Min-a outgrew

and the toys she no longer plays with.

It's such a waste when they're from nice brands.

She's telling the truth.

Right? Do you want to see this?

You've been doing this for quite a while.

Of course.

My boss is here. I'm hanging up now.

I'm sorry. I couldn't contact you sooner.

He must not be coming today either.

I'll meet you at our usual spot.

Her manner temperature is 45 degrees.

To be exact, it's 45.8 degrees.

And 98% said they'd buy from me again.

Then

how do you explain the leaked information?

Did you tell anyone other than us?

No, I didn't tell anyone other than Ms. Jung.

I'm being serious. Trust me.

Then was there anyone else at home?

Well, there was Min-a and…

UNCLE MAFIA

WHEN ARE YOU COMING?

THANK YOU FOR THE CHOCOLATE SNACK. I BOUGHT BUBBLE GUM FOR YOU.

3 MONTHS AGO

I have a lot of interest in the new CEO

of Silver Lining.

I heard he even moved in.

Can you just

keep your eye on him and see how he's doing for me?

You approached the wrong person.

-Hey. -Dad, I got a job.

What?

It's a subcontractor that supplies seats for Bumyoung Motor Group.

They called me and told me to start working next week.

Did you submit my résumé?

Yes. Congratulations.

Hello?

It's me. Tell Park In-seong that I found Kim Seon-ju.

What do you mean by that?

You found Mr. Kim?

I'll see him at the gym.

What do you mean about Mr. Kim and the gym?

He'll know if you say "the gym"!

Hello?

EMPLOYEE PERSONNEL RECORD SIM YUN-CHAN

As expected, Mr. Sim's son got hired by a subcontractor

of Bumyoung Motor Group.

What should we do?

I think Mr. Sim could open up if we talk to him.

No.

We need to draw a big picture.

What do you mean by that?

We need to make a deal.

I am a CEO, after all.

Mr. Park's bodyguard died?

Yes. The police are investigating the case.

I see.

My niece is plotting something again.

I thought I told her to live a normal life.

BUMYOUNG GROUP VICE CHAIRMAN OH YOUNG-GEUN

What should I do?

This is why weeds should be pulled up by their roots.

To prevent any hopes from sprouting.

What's with your forehead?

I tripped and fell.

-Hello. I'm here for the 13,000-won meal. -Yes.

RUMORS OF KIM SEON-JU'S DISAPPEARANCE AND DEATH

You returned late yesterday.

We had a lot of work.

Hey, turn on the TV.

Just turn it on.

Silver Lining's former CEO, Kim Seon-ju, who disappeared without a trace,

is rumored to have gone missing.

Further, in the financial district, there are even rumors of his death.

Yes, sir.

No, that's not…

Is it true? Is my dad dead?

Is that why he's not coming back?

That's not true, Min-a.

Rumors of the disappearance of Kim Seon-ju

have also raised pessimistic speculations about the success of Baro Version 4.0.

It looks like Executive Director Oh Mi-ran needs to release a statement

on the release of self-driving cars scheduled on October 3rd.

This is…

What on earth did you do?

Didn't you inform me?

We are living in a personal media generation.

All I did was quietly give away some information.

It was the dogs and pigs

who spread the rumors of his disappearance and death.

-Uncle-- -I thought

you needed a wake-up call from your pipe dreams.

What's the matter?

Do you still not want to wake up?

This time,

should I let them in on who was behind

his disappearance?

Please wait until we make an official announcement.

I'm sorry.

-Assistant to the Silver Lining's CEO. -Jeez.

The reporters, affiliates, and competitors are in commotion.

Is Mr. Kim…

really on sick leave?

He is.

I know that's not the truth!

There's more to it, right?

You need to tell the truth for us to come up with a plan.

Mr. Park, the fate of the company is on the line.

Mr. Oh found a smart way to dismiss Ms. Oh

and protect Bumyoung at the same time.

But it also put Silver Lining in a dangerous situation.

The moment I regained consciousness inside this phone,

I knew something like this would happen one day.

-Mr. Kim. -It's just a bit earlier than expected.

But it is time to show the world.

Get ready for a showcase.

If you made up your mind,

there's someone who should be the first to know.

Am I allowed to be here this late?

Today is a special day, so it's okay.

I'm going to tell you a secret.

A secret?

Yes.

But you have to promise me something.

What is it? Did my dad really die?

No.

Why would he die?

You can't tell anyone

what I'm about to say.

You can't tell your friends at kindergarten,

Mr. Sim, or Ms. Jung.

Absolutely no one.

Can you promise me that?

Pinky promise.

Well…

Min-a.

Your dad

is safe.

Really? Where is he?

In here.

Mr. Kim Seon-ju…

I mean, your dad

is living inside this phone.

Stop lying.

I'm serious. Look.

Min-a.

What? It's really Dad.

Dad, where are you? Why aren't you coming?

I can't go right now.

But when you're by yourself,

if you just unlock this phone,

we can meet whenever.

Why can't you come home?

I…

don't know how to get out of here.

I'll find a way to get back to you as soon as possible.

Really?

Yes.

Before then, we're going to meet secretly.

A secret operation.

-Promise. -Promise.

Why do you want to go to Seoul at this hour?

To see my distinguished son's face.

You can continue with what you were doing.

He said he was going to tell us later, after tying up loose ends.

Later?

What?

Is he going to tell us after we're buried in our graves?

Since he made us worry by having his name all over the papers,

he should make all haste to visit us and explain the whole story.

Do you not trust him?

Try trusting him half as much as you trust Cho Yong-pil.

Gosh, why are you bringing up Mr. Cho

all of a sudden?

Mr. Cho? Is he your teacher?

Let's be real. Did Mr. Cho teach you how to farm

or how to work with numbers?

I knew it.

There was always something fishy.

I want you… to be honest.

Are you not

a fan of Mr. Cho?

No,

I'm not.

Then…

whose fan are you?

Don't tell me you like the singer who only shines in October.

Is it Lee Yong?

LIM YOUNG-WOONG FAN CLUB CHUNGBUK CHAPTER PRESIDENT

It is now Generation Young-woong.

It'll always be Generation Young-woong.

Stay healthy and happy!

I'm Lim Young-woong's fan.

Baro,

can you play Lim Young-woong's "Trust In Me"?

Okay. It is now Generation Young-woong.

BETA TEST RESULTS FOUND FATAL FLAWS, RAISING CONCERN FOR THE SELF-DRIVING CAR

What about Mr. Kim?

Right. He's sleeping with Min-a today.

I see.

It's a relief that Min-a believed everything.

Had I known she'd take it well, I would've let them meet sooner.

I almost regret it.

It couldn't be helped.

Honestly, it is dangerous.

It's not something a seven-year-old can handle.

Are you serious? Baro Version 4.0 is complete?

Lower your voice. Someone could hear you.

I'm sorry.

Then have you been developing it in secret?

Of course! I just did what was necessary as the CEO of Silver Lining.

All right.

Baro Version 4.0

is complete?

Give us your phone.

Hand me your phone too, Ms. Oh.

Right.

You want to make a deal?

I possess a lot.

What about you, Mr. Park?

Baro Version 4.0…

is complete.

I'll give it to you, Ms. Oh.

So…

return Kim Seon-ju.

They say a person's position changes them.

You finally seem like

a real CEO.

But before that,

there's something we need to sort out first.

SILVER LINING

Ready, action.

There have been groundless rumors

surrounding Silver Lining and Mr. Kim Seon-ju,

which was unfortunate.

Can you say they're groundless

when Mr. Kim did disappear overnight without a trace?

Mr. Kim is not missing.

He's been developing Baro Version 4.0 in strict confidence.

And I asked all of you here today

as it is now complete.

How can we trust you?

It's been a while, everyone.

This is Kim Seon-ju of Silver Lining.

Are you really Kim Seon-ju?

Where are you?

Due to security reasons,

I cannot disclose my current location.

Hope you'll understand.

Silver Lining is a global IT company.

Couldn't the video be a deepfake or another form of synthetic media?

Then… goodness!

Are you saying I'm fake too?

You all are so imaginative.

Baro Version 4.0

is a core project for not only Silver Lining

but also Bumyoung Motor Group.

There is also severe technological competition and the possibility of leaks

among major companies in the autonomous car market

that are trying to gain the first-mover advantage.

In order to become the first movers of the self-driving car,

Ms. Oh and I had no other choice but to go with this method

until we could develop a perfect version of Baro 4.0.

Has a level four self-driving car been developed with domestic technology?

Will it be launched next month?

When would it be deployed?

-When will you return as the CEO? -Please give us an answer.

Hello?

She has arrived.

The world-renowned science-fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke said something like this.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology

is indistinguishable from magic."

Just earlier,

it actually felt like I was next to Seon-ju.

In order to become the first movers of the self-driving car,

Ms. Oh and I had no choice…

You're still so brazen.

Why?

You're the one who approached me first.

"Will the people

believe what they see?"

I was honestly worried.

But then I remembered

how I was fooled right here.

Considering that, I became certain that our plan would succeed.

Good work.

The showcase was just the appetizer.

Let's talk about the main course.

Sure.

There's this villa.

I'll send you the address.

Saturday at 4 p.m.

We'll complete our exchange there.

Okay?

Let go!

Call Oh Mi-ran!

You insolent punk.

How dare you grab me?

I'm sorry, sir.

We're at a disadvantage

because we have to enter that place with very little information about it.

That's why I'm not sure if we should proceed with this plan.

Will they meekly comply and give us your body?

What if they just take Baro Version 4.0?

The worst-case scenario comes after that.

Having Baro Version 4.0 be taken away

and our safety also being put at risk.

All the more reason

to prepare ourselves.

Please.

You looked great standing beside the next chairwoman of Bumyoung.

Why did you call me

to treat me to mere rice soup?

Thank you for the files. I looked through them.

I was a crazy fool.

I gave fish to a cat.

If you want to attach a bell to a cat's collar,

you should at least give the cat some fish.

I see.

So?

Did you really

attach a bell on Ms. Oh's neck?

This Saturday at four, a villa in Namyangju.

You will find conclusive evidence to arrest Oh Mi-ran.

Are you confident?

Why don't you come and see for yourself

if she looks good in a mug shot…

or not?

What's my uncle up to?

He is figuring out whether Baro Version 4.0 is real.

He must have a headache.

But ma'am,

without Kim Seon-ju, Baro Version 4.0 couldn't have--

As their business partner,

I'm just wishing it succeeded.

Also,

even if they were bluffing, would that even matter?

Sorry?

The news of the launch of the self-driving car alone

will make Bumyoung Motor Group's stock prices rise

and the board will make me chairwoman.

But what happens if we really lose Mr. Kim?

Sorry.

Captain No,

it looks like you still don't know me yet.

My entire life,

I have never allowed anything

that belonged to me to be taken away.

It will be the same this time as well.

Dad, do you know who my favorite princess is?

Princess? I forget.

Snow White?

I'm disappointed.

Did you have a fun time?

Yes, but Dad forgot that my favorite princess is Ariel.

Really?

How could he?

The best princess is Ariel, right?

Sorry, I got confused for a second.

Let's go to bed now and play again tomorrow.

Okay.

Right.

A gift.

What is this?

I drew it during art class.

DAD, MIN-A, IN-SEONG, UNCLE BUBBLE GUM

This day has finally come.

They're probably on full alert too.

Make sure to stay safe, both of you.

Get the notebook.

Hey, fan out!

Yes, sir.

Where is it?

What is that?

Open it. Come on.

Look at this.

Go down.

Go in.

Something's strange.

Stay still.

Check each and every room!

Jeez.

What in the world?

The person you are…

The patient you mentioned is nowhere to be seen.

SILVER LINING

Are you okay?

Okay.

This is…

Silver Lining's outsourcing server building.

Where Baro Version 4.0's database is accumulated.

You're here.

You called the police.

We have so little trust in each other,

so I changed the location.

Where's Kim Seon-ju?

In there.

What about Baro Version 4.0?

Mr. Kim.

It's a relief

that I'm alive.

Se-yeon, start up the engine.

Okay.

It is Baro Version 4.0.

Why aren't you…

-Get out. -Don't.

Just go.

-Hurry up and go! -Shut it!

If you don't get out, Mr. Park will die.

If you get out,

we'll just be dying together.

What now? What am I supposed to do?

If we consider the odds,

what Mr. Park said is right.

If you get out, you'll probably get killed too.

You have to hurry.

Hurry.

Leave.

Ms. Jung, step on it!

Don't move.

Go, Ms. Jung!

Go!

Make sure they don't run away! Catch them!

Stop the truck! The truck!

Let's go.

Okay.

Stop the truck! Hurry!

You saved us all.

I'll drive in reverse.

In reverse?

Watch out!

Earlier, I saw some space under the truck.

If you can just let him know when to get down, it's possible.

Okay. Let's give it a try.

Don't move.

Go, Ms. Jung! Go!

Get down!

How did you think of that

in such a short amount of time?

I just thought of what you would do in that situation.

I knew you wouldn't leave me behind.

It was perfect teamwork.

The problem is that the server room for Baro Version 4.0 blew up.

To restore it,

it will take…

quite a long time…

Mr. Kim, are you okay?

Mr. Kim?

Mr. Kim.

What's wrong?

Se-yeon, stop the car.

Okay.

What is it? What's the problem?

His soul got trapped inside a phone.

Is that a new TV series?

Tell me something I can believe.

Is that why

you became a model as well?

To make deep learning work,

there needs to be a large amount of personal information.

So it's favorable to use the data of the developer.

BARO VERSION 4.0 BETA TEST REPORT

"Updates every Monday."

"A week's worth of data is input."

But I can't remember anything that happened a week before the accident.

"Data that has not been input cannot be learned by AI."

But Dad forgot that my favorite princess

is Ariel.

If the AI machine found a more efficient way,

it acted of its own volition.

Does that mean

the AI had emotion?

It will be an AI assistant that thinks, decides, and talks like me.

That is what Version 4.0 will become.

SOFTWARE VERSION: 4.0 BETA

Baro Version 4.0 was installed on June 10th.

It's the day Mr. Kim was attacked.

DATE AND TIME OF INSTALLATION

What are you doing right now?

They're chasing--

THE SYSTEM IS TURNING OFF

No way.

The phone…

was not Mr. Kim's soul.

It was Baro Version 4.0.

How could this be true?

It's more realistic than the idea that his soul

was trapped inside the phone.

Today will probably be the last day we get to drink beer together.

Baro Version 4.0 is now in our hands.

-Shall we shake hands? -If they release a self-driving car

that hasn't been proven to be safe…

Make the necessary arrangements to launch the self-driving car.

-What are you doing? -Because I'm going to lock Oh Mi-ran up.

Mr. Kim probably wanted you to chase after the truth in his stead.

So I'm going to treat you like you're Mr. Kim.

I'm at your service.
