There's an old saying that says, kids grow while being beaten.
You're this big already and yet you go around with a runny nose. Blow!
If you don't want to go to school, do you plan on being a dumb forever?
Maybe that was why I was
the shortest out of all the kids in town.
Why did my dad raise me to be as big as a peanut?
Luckily, I didn't need to worry for long.
There were many reasons for me to be beaten up in school.
All of you, get on the desk and kneel!
Even when I'd done nothing wrong,
there were still plenty of reasons.
The whips of love ranged from yard sticks to brooms,
and went beyond even mops to baseball bats.
Kids who grew up with these whips of love,
passed on this kind of love to other kids.
Thanks to all of that, I grew very quickly.
I got into Taekwondo, because I didn't want to be beaten up.
I even became a national athlete.
- But... - Huh?
I got beaten up for being a sparring partner,
for losing a tournament,
and when I would win, for winning against a senior,
and on days there were no matches,
I got beaten up as a part of training.
Kids grow while being beaten?
Nope.
Kids who grow up being beaten, become one of two things.
Come here, you bastard.
I'm not your student anymore.
Ah, yes.
Then, you shouldn't have competed in the trials.
I teach all the national athletes.
If you didn't want to be my student,
you should have never coveted this spot.
The one who beats others.
Get up you brat.
Hey!
The one who beats those who beat others.
This dirty bastard!
Come here!
Violence always gets passed on in any shape or form.
Your leg…
- Huh? - What?
Uh… So…
How did this…
You bastard. Did you lose your mind?
You dare hit a national coach?
You, call the police.
I said, call the police!
Coach Oh!
Professor, this bastard hit…
Are you going to go get interrogated by the police
on why you got beaten up.
Don't avoid eye contact.
I have much to say too.
I have to go to the finals and I have nothing to say.
She says to call the police, since someone here has a lot to say.
Let's all go down to the station together.
Let's figure out internal matters, internally.
You know that I hate making a ruckus, right?
What are you all doing?
Those going to the finals, follow me!
Hey, Jegal.
I knew it.
Banned for life, after not winning a single medal.
There was no way for you to make money for survival.
So you cosplayed as someone with an injured leg.
Tragedy sellar, broken-heart seller, and book seller.
You created a great concept for yourself.
Excuse me it's nice you helped me but…
Even so,
isn't pretending for 10 years long enough?
You are speaking too bluntly.
Uh, you're bleeding a lot.
Much luck to you.
Hey,
let's protect our dignity as athletes.
- You scammer. - Scammer…
I'm curious as well.
How knee pain that has been being treated for 3 years
just healed perfectly.
Here.
Call me.
Exchanging numbers?
In a non-professional manner?
Why?
As you are a patient I've failed at healing before,
I just have a scientific curiosity.
Don't listen to this man.
His treatments are not over.
Don't worry about her.
She's got so much grudge against me.
Where are you going?
You should go to the hospital first.
Huh?
You have to go to the hospital!
My leg, much like when it began,
for an unknown reason,
was ending its very long strike.
Cha Ga-eul!
There are many weird things when it comes to matters of the heart.
I told you not to be greedy.
Am I a joke to you?
Why didn't you do what you were told and cause all this trouble?
As old as you are now,
you couldn't even block that? Huh?
Hey!
Do you think you're still an ace after all that?
Are you still the ace after all that?
If the plan goes awry, you should be the one to fix it.
Instead you two fought?
How many kids bled because of you? Huh?
Is this a playground?
Racing 3000m with this leg is not possible.
You have to do 27 laps.
For the super finals, all you need to do is race
and you'll be a national athlete.
I just need to not be last.
Sure, it'll be possible for you to become a national athlete.
But what about after that?
If you race in this condition,
we have no idea how long the effects of your injury may last.
Getting the national athlete title?
After that, it'll be hell for you.
Even if it'll be hell, I'll be the one going to hell.
Who are you to say anything?
Um… We should start now…
Why didn't you tell me that
Coach Oh used to beat you?
Why are you talking about that here?
This is why. He's the one who beat you
yet you're the one being cautious.
In sports, the moment you have the same score,
it's the person with the strongest mentality who wins.
An injury is an injury but
Cha Ga-eul, you'll never win against Coach Oh with a mentality like that.
Okay, it's the super finals.
Oh Sun-ah, if you want to be able to race individuals
at the Olympics, you're still way too behind.
You have to get 10 extra points in 1000m and 2000m
by getting 1st place in them
if you want to end in 1st place overall.
Prove that you're the ace with your skills.
- Yes, sir. - Kim Moo-young!
- You defend Sun-ah from the back. - Yes, sir.
You too mislead Cha Ga-eul and keep her in check.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
You guys know her specialty, right?
She goes out course and then reverses the ranks in the end.
If… If you're not going to get treated…
I will.
Because of her injury, she'll be skating cautiously
in the beginning.
And then the last three laps
is where the winner will be decided.
When Cha Ga-eul pushes forward,
Ah-reum, Ji-soo, sandwich her between you two.
It'll be unlikely but if Cha Ga-eul gets out of that?
Moo-young you move down
and mark Cha Ga-eul with Ah-reum.
Ji-soo will barge in first
and then the rest you two handle it.
When you say, we should handle it…
Can't someone as clever as you not even listen correctly?
You got it, Kim Moo-young?
Yes, sir.
I'll say this again but the four of you here
are going to be national athletes.
Whoever can't carry their part and gets disqualified,
will not be allowed to set foot in this world.
Understood?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Understood? - Yes.
Are you confident you won't regret this?
I'm doing this so I don't have any regrets.
This is my last chance anyway.
What happens if you fail even after doing this?
What then? You want me to abstain then?
No, still see it to the end.
Knowing the end and seeing the end
are different things.
Cho Ji-young has given up her spot in the finals.
Why?
She must have injured a ligament when she fell.
All those moving up to the finals, come with me!
Since she has enough points, she'll already be selected.
It's probably in order for her to recover from her injury.
Anyway, since only five are going to race finals,
you just have to place last.
Don't overwork yourself. Just focus on the last three laps.
Maintaining stamina will be the most important.
You were right.
This abuse of athletes seems to be a habitual thing.
It seems Cha Ga-eul has been beaten all through her training
and it seems to be happening all out in the open.
I told you so.
If you are targeted by Oh Dal-sung, there's no way to fight him off.
He’ll come together and do what it takes to get you out.
Speaking of that, Young-toe, I think I want to
deal with this bastard.
Would you be okay?
What? You're not going to do it if I say I wouldn't be?
I mean, it would be one thing had I not seen it first hand.
But now that I've seen it, I couldn't possibly…
I'll be okay.
It is about time anyway.
I'm prepared.
Okay, I got it.
Then, I'll see you this evening.
Has the day really finally come?
Go to the start.
Ready.
When standing on the start line, you can see a rope
which is the last chance in your life.
One misstep and
the fear that you'll fall off the cliff.
The race begins.
Final 3000m a race of 27 laps.
It is very important to play strategy in this final race.
The athletes will not rush in the beginning.
They will likely save the energy for later.
Right, there is no reason to rush.
As it is long distance, stamina and game management skills
are the most important in this race.
With current leader, Oh Sun-ah, at the forefront…
For those caught in fear,
that rope becomes everything.
You won't even come see her, even when our kid's in this condition.
But from the outside, there is something else you can see.
How many times do I have to tell you?
She didn't get to race in the finals.
That the rope wasn’t either that long
or strong in reality.
Do you have to be eating that during the race?
It's only been the first lap.
There's still a long way to go for this to pick up.
Oh, what's this?
Cha Ga-eul is suddenly moving forward fast.
It's only the first lap.
I can't help but wonder if she's straining herself.
- What is this?! - Cha Ga-eul is injured as well.
She's coming forward at an unbelievable speed.
Suddenly, suddenly…
Cha Ga-eul moves up to first.
Shaking up the ranks?
Super finals is like musical chairs.
One out of six will be disqualified for sure.
- Who will that be this time? - You.
Coach Oh will plan for that to happen.
That means if I speed up at the back,
I will be disqualified for sure.
That does make sense but
racing with this leg for 27 laps
is impossible.
If I get attacked at the back, I could suffer worse injuries.
If I race from the front, I can also score extra
at the 1000m and 2000m points.
Even if I start slowing down toward the end,
this will be the most beneficial.
Cha Ga-eul is moving forward at an incredible pace.
Could she be over pacing?
What is her strategy?
The other skaters could be a bit taken aback by this.
Since the skater that comes in 1st at the 1000m
gets 5 points.
Oh Sun-ah, don't panic. Do as we planned.
Still, Cha Ga-eul is much too behind on points so
I believe her plan is to get those extra points
even if it means straining herself.
Cha Ga-eul still continues to move forward.
For now, the other skaters are not following behind
and maintaining their ranks.
Not following behind could also be
considered the other skaters' plans.
They believe Cha Ga-eul's stamina
will not keep her going to the end.
Good job, Cha Ga-eul.
This way, we'll meet at the athlete's village.
Coach Oh!
Cha Ga-eul has already caught up on one lap
and is beginning to catch her breath again.
It's true that as the current frontrunner,
she does have a vantage point.
The soup is so good but the meat is too chewy.
Oh my, how did you come all the way here…
Return the money I gave to you.
Wait, money…?
What money are you talking about?
I never mentioned that my husband
is a sports reporter for Daily Sports News, did I?
Oh Sun-ah, pass her right now!
The number of laps left is slowly decreasing.
Oh Sun-ah pushes forward.
Oh Sun-ah makes great headway.
The other skaters follow behind.
- They are speeding up. - Yes, they are.
Cha Ga-eul, who sped early on,
seems to be quite tired.
She is slowly getting caught up to.
Yes, keep going like that.
Oh Sun-ah, Oh Sun-ah in the end passes Cha Ga-eul.
Oh Sun-ah is now in 1st place.
Oh Sun-ah must keep pushing through.
Oh Sun-ah disqualified in the 1500m
after her collision with Cha Ga-eul.
Yes, plan B, plan B.
Ah-reum stay and Moo-young move down.
Ji-soo move forward.
The other skaters are all catching up to Cha Ga-eul.
You just need to pass one.
Please just one.
Here, you must rank at least fourth
to become a national athlete.
Ga-eul, just pass one…
Cha Ga-eul is in a situation in which
she must pass either Kim Moo-young or Mo Ah-reum.
Both in and out course are blocked at this moment.
It won't be easy.
But Cha Ga-eul
is still doing her best to continue in this race.
Cha Ga-eul is enduring despite her injuries.
Her fans who are watching
must be on the edge of their seats.
As we speak, Cha Ga-eul moves forward again.
She passes Mo Ah-reum via out course
and even Kim Moo-young.
What is this now? Cha Ga-eul,
digs in before suddenly leaving.
Ah, she has fallen.
- What has happened here? - Kim Moo-young…
That plan…
The moment wasn't caught by the cameras but…
I should've been there.
What do we do, Ga-eul?
This is so disappointing.
This was Cha Ga-eul's 1st competition
after her long slump.
Still, see it to the end.
Knowing the end and seeing the end
are different things.
Oh, Cha Ga-eul gets up and races to the end.
Yes, though she has basically
been disqualified at this point,
she still shows us herself working hard to the last second.
Meawhile, Oh Sun-ah comes in 1st.
Park Ji-soo comes in 2nd.
Then, Mo Ah-reum and Kim Moo-young follow right behind.
This way, the three skaters from Haneol Sports University
will be selected as national athletes.
To know the end
is to know the cruel reality that even yesterday's winner
could become a loser.
But to see it to the end means, despite all of that,
your life isn't over.
You experience it with your entire body.
My goodness.
Ga-eul,
you will never be able to do it, as long as I'm in the field.
Giving up is also an act of courage.
I'm usually the type to do unto others as they do unto me
but since that wouldn't be cool of me, since I've now won.
Let's just do just enough, huh?
One moment.
Shouldn't you go to her?
There are some things you just have to go through alone.
That's why it's important to see things through to the end.
A person who has kneeled in front of humiliation
becomes stronger
than those who haven't been through those things.
Gil?
Your leg...
Is better now?
- Suddenly? - Yes, suddenly. As you can see.
What in the world?
I could die happily now!
- What are you doing? Ring that bell! - Ring it, ring it!
All drinks are free today.
You come with me.
Why? What are you going to talk about without me?
Sang-goo,
how dare you, as newly inducted, try to join in.
You go and serve drinks.
Why?
I'm against it.
When we brought out Sang-goo last year,
don't you remember how we all almost fell apart?
You said you would never do something like this again.
I did.
Yes, but though I can look past everything else,
I can't look past teachers beating up kids.
You know I can't take that, right?
I know. That's why you said you weren't going to take on
national athletes as clients.
Right but everything has an exception.
So why is she the exception?
She's my best friend's little sister.
The best friend whose shoulder broke and had to retire because of me.
Do you think my shoulder's fine then?
I have habitual shoulder dislocation too!
It keeps coming out and it hurts so much!
It's so weird how I could never with an argument against her.
I'm down for it. It'll raise my profits anyway.
- Okay. - A slave of capitalism.
- Me too. - Hey, Go Young-toe!
You too?
Are you not going to run a business?
Oh Dal-sung is that bastard.
What?
He's that bastard.
Damn it.
Damn it, seriously.
So where are we going to hit?
Cho Ji-young, who forfeited this past race because of an injury.
I'm sure it's because of Oh Dal-sung's physical abuse.
I remember her being fine when she was entering.
Pistol Park, get your antenna up
and Soo-ji, Young-toe, secure the video, okay?
Mom, can't I just go home?
Just wait a moment. We're still talking.
For how much longer?
Off-season is just 6 weeks out of a year.
How long can I be stuck in this hospital room?
Who is it?
Cho Ji-young?
You're that… The kick…
Yes.
I wasn't sure if you'd eaten.
So that Oh Dal-sung
acts like a king in front of only the younger athletes.
Looking at the athletic world as a whole, he's at the very bottom.
If you gather your courage and make an issue of this?
He'll be fired immediately.
You saw how he was nothing next to me!
But sir, why would a mental coach ask something like this?
This is how I see it.
What does it matter if you are strong mentally
when athletes are constantly being mentally abused?
We have to get rid of these abusers first.
We have to get rid of the root of the cause.
I do some mental remodeling for bastards like him sometimes.
So think of me as just an older neighbor from around the block
and speak comfortably.
Nice shot.
There's no one around.
Now's the moment.
How many points just now?
10 points out of 10.
Oh, oh someone's coming! Come out already.
Aren't I way too cool?
See, you always get the most fun part.
Though my heart's not in it anymore, my body still remembers so
what can I do?
Here.
Let's see.
It looks like Coach Oh has you by the collar, right?
Feels like if you get on his wrong side, you'll hit rock bottom.
But that? That's not the truth.
He uses violence so that you can't see anything else.
He plants the seed of fear.
But sir,
I'm not here because I got hit.
Cho Ji-young...
Plus, you're on Cha Ga-eul's side.
If I get picked on by the coach and pushed aside,
only Ga-eul will benefit.
Why should I let that happen?
I'm better than Ga-eul now.
I won Sun-ah too.
My mom said, it's my turn now.
How could there be a turn in winning?
I'm also very much aware of these things.
Ah, she won't talk.
From the point of view of an athlete,
Oh Dal-sung is not an easy one.
They were meeting Cho Ji-young's parents.
An agreement of voluntary abstainment
and an envelope.
We get a clear story from just that.
They're bribing the parents to cover up the abuse.
What should we do? Release it right away?
He can't be punished based on those circumstances alone.
We want him to face the wrath of public opinion.
If we don't get this right, only the athlete
might receive the backlash.
The parents took the money. They're in on it.
Even so, we need the testimony from the athlete first.
One moment.
Oh hey, Young-toe!
Get up.
Has the world ended?
Next year, or the year after…
If not, then the year after that.
You still have to skate for the works team.
If you're being paid money, you should be trying your best.
If you just stay laying here, what about the guy
who's paying you?
There's no race.
And my contract will end soon too.
It's all over.
That's why, huh?
You should do something before it ends.
"I can still do it. I'm this good."
You have to show that to those further up the ladder
so they'll sign you again.
I can't do it anymore.
My leg hurts so much, mom.
Get up, get up. Let's go to the hospital.
Can't you just let me rest?
You said your leg hurts.
If you're in pain, you need to go to the hospital.
Will you get better by just laying around?
There's nothing the hospital can do.
What do you mean? They can do…
Please just!
I've hit a slump.
It's been this way a while.
My legs won't listen to me.
I can't quite skate the way I want to.
All athletes go through a slump at least once.
I'll be okay, once my injury is healed…
Slump my ass.
All of this is bullshit.
A slump? If there was time for something like that,
your mom would have already drowned herself
in the Han river.
How could a person only have happy moments?
Bad times, times when you want to die…
Since you received money from someone…
Since you have to feed your kids…
If you just get yourself in the right mindset,
why would a slump or whatever happen?
Good girl.
Where are you going?
I'm going to get myself in the right mindset.
I can't do it anymore.
My head hurts like it's going to break.
Stop it.
Not our Ga-eul.
She hasn't eaten in a week. She just sleeps.
Like a corpse.
She strained herself. It's okay if she doesn't eat for a bit.
Will something go wrong with Ga-eul because of this?
My goodness, you're overreacting.
I'm almost there. I'll go talk to her.
So stop worrying and looking for reasons to be anxious.
If the family's like this, then the athlete…
Hey, Mu-tae, I'll call you back.
Wait… Where are you going in the middle of the night?
- Damn… - No!
…it.
I mean, why did you have to come to a mountain at night…
I'm not going to kill myself.
How could I die when I'm so embarrassed?
It's not like I've done anything noteworthy.
Cha Ga-eul even needs to qualify to die.
I don't want to die.
Though I don't want to live either.
- What are you doing? - Gosh, just be still.
You've never received help from anyone, have you?
Why would have I not?
I am entirely a burden to others.
Is the reason why you don't want to become a national athlete
because of Coach Oh?
Why wouldn't I want to be a national athlete?
When you know how hard I worked…
You did work hard. To the bone.
Cha Ga-eul really wants to be a national athlete
but the kid inside of you doesn't seem to want to be one.
At every deciding moment,
you become exhausted and deflated.
If you become a national athlete, then the hell in which
you train while Coach Oh beats you, will begin again.
I'm wondering if your subconscious is refusing national athlete status.
Would I refuse national athlete status
because I'm afraid to be hit?
An athlete whose life depends on the sport?
That's nothing.
How is being beaten up nothing?
Who says that? That it's nothing?
Didn't I tell you?
If you move one step, they'll come in on two feet.
You must protect yourself, no matter what.
Promise you will.
There's no reason for me to see you anymore anyway.
If there is one?
The world is small.
We're bound to run into each other.
The more you run away from something,
it'll stick to your head and never leave you.
It'll whisper to you, whenever you try to do anything.
You
will never be able to do it, as long as I'm in the field.
Giving up is also an act of courage.
The bastard that has built a home inside your head.
Do you want to know how to kick him out?
Damn it, Oh Sun-ah, that bitch!
Get out of my sight before I cut off your wrist!
You brat!
- Ptooey! - Ugh gross.
- Good job. - It got on me!
Hey, this is why she got exiled from the gymnastics world.
- I made the decision to leave! - Oh, sure.
- As a protest against the verdict! - Sure, sure.
You guys eat and drink as much as you want.
You dirty bastards, I'm off.
Just film it and post it online.
Do you want me to show you how to film discreetly?
I could post it so they can't trace the IP.
I'm just grossed out so I don't want to see you again, bye!
Do you know the story of the camel in the desert?
Because of the memory it has of being tied up the night before,
the camel can't run off, even if it's untied.
That's what you are right now, Cha Ga-eul.
Why don't you know that you've been set free?
Do you really think the camel
can't run off because
of the memory of having been tied up?
I'm just wondering if that really is the case.
Hey, Debbie Downer!
If you're going to ruin the mood, then go home!
Are you the only one
- that's been done wrong? - Hey.
- Oh, dear. - We all feel like it's unfair.
- Come on. Let's go. - We're abused nearly
to the point of death.
We're ruined.
- I can't medal. - Stop it.
Do you know the woe of a no-medal?
Don't be like that to Ga-eul. Just go in already.
It's because I feel so sad for us. I feel so sad for us.
Don't be like this to Ga-eul. Go inside.
Hey,
the pretty gal is here again.
There's still things to live for.
That young thing acts like she's the only one
who's been through it all.
So annoying.
You were the same way.
At least Ga-eul is quiet.
You were really something else.
Always crying your eyes out. Phew!
That's what I'm saying!
Why is that little one just keeping it all in?
Kids like that are more infuriating.
What about the stuff?
Yes, good job!
Good job! Good job!
Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with her?
Did someone… Is she drunk?
Who do you think?
This truly is the best thing for energy.
Ah, dad! Seriously.
Is she really this happy after not making national athlete?
Ah, seriously.
Then, what do we do with this?
My goodness.
I'll be back. I'm going to dance.
Cha Ga-eul,
instead of being loosey goosey, try putting some
strength in your body.
Why are you so heavy when you're so tiny?
The reason why…
Wh- What?
The reason why the camel
doesn't just run off is that
the desert is vast
it doesn't have water
or alcohol.
Food
and drinks…
That's all there where he is.
On its own,
it can't live else where.
If it runs away,
it can't live.
If it runs away,
it can't live by itself.
I'm glad
that you're at least crying in your sleep.
There, there, there.
Go on and cry.
Good job.
A party celebrating my fall happened in my dream.
A young woman whose shoulder dislocates habitually,
and people who have lost an eye and a leg
were all dancing like camels
that have found an oasis in a desert.
All people who have lost or broken a part of themselves.
In the dream, I was wearing red skating boots.
When could I stop this dance?
Will I only be able to escape this painful dance,
if my ankles are cut?
Why did God give me ambitions that are too big
for my little bit of talent?
What kind of a nightmare…
If you are awake, drink that first.
Ah, another bone broth… Mom…
Here, drink it.
It's honey water.
Why did you drink all that alcohol you can't handle?
Woah. I feel like I can finally live.
Mom, what is that?
Don't you remember?
You came in holding that like it's a treasure box.
Oh gosh, I must be crazy!
You start drinking,
and coming home carried by someone…
My goodness, I have to die in order to not see you like this.
Please mom, stop talking about dying.
Slump or trump or whatever…
Your mom is ignorant so she doesn't know about any of that but
I know that if your feet are comfy, your insides will be too.
And your mind will feel clear.
Mom,
it's going to be difficult for me to get signed again.
Stop thinking about that slump or whatever.
Just get in the right mindset and try your best.
Your mom will do everything else, huh?
We just need you to do well.
I just need to do well.
I just need to do well but…
It's not that easy, mom.
You're about to leave like that?
Fashion is about being ahead of the curve.
But I'm not sure that this is the right thing to do.
Gil, what if your condition flares up again…
Young-toe,
what did I say about 90% of those worries?
They are either about things that will not happen
or things that won't matter if they do.
Exactly.
Since it's turned out this way anyhow,
I'll go for broke.
Do you feel a sense of responsibility towards Ga-eul?
Because you think Ga-eul will become like Oh Yeon-ji?
Well that’s… Who knows what could go wrong?
We'll only know if we try
so don't start worrying already.
I'll be off.
- I'll see you later. - See you.
You're here?
You've all arrived early.
Thank you for coming all this way.
There are not many applicants.
Of course, with these terms of employment.
This is all typical bureaucratic theatricals
since there are people up the ladder who have no clue what it's like
actually down here.
Ah… I also am originally from the Athlete's Village.
I'll leave you both to run this
and I will support from behind.
It's a relief to have someone who actually knows what it’s like.
Oh. Communication is important.
Then, shall we begin?
- Yes. - Yes.
Let's begin.
Well, this right now…
What?
No, it's just… Right now…
What are you doing? Send the person in.
Hello!
Nice to see you all!
Well, all the interviewers are old acquaintances!
Dr. Song, do you remember me?
Way back then, during the Athlete's Village psych evaluations...
You said that I was number 1 in mentality.
Would there be controversy
if familiar faces interacted like this?
Nice to see you all.
We will now announce the short track national athletes.
Overall coach and women's technique coach
is Oh Dal-sung.
Coach Oh Dal-sung
used to be a short track skater himself
and is a gold medal maker who has
produced many stars on ice at Haneol Sports University.
We are grateful to have him here.
I mean…
I mean… I don't know why you applied
but the way I see it you haven't fully recovered!
Even though I'm this normal?
You kicked someone the moment your leg went back to normal.
From the way I see it, in your psyche, Jegal Gil,
there is unresolved anger.
It's easy for a hurt person to hurt other people.
Isn't ending that cycle the job that's been given to us?
You asked me what came to mind right before my leg became fine.
I thought, I shouldn't have been cast aside.
The boy who no one helped,
I, myself, of the past who was without power or connections,
shouldn't at least have been abandoned by me.
Is that all?
Well, Dr. Park, you're also here.
And who knows?
Maybe you'll finish up my treatment that you couldn't before.
Our jackets are the same color.
We can't choose that person no matter what.
In possession of sports psychology counseling license,
able to counsel many different psychological states,
national athlete experience…
Reason to oppose him?
He was banned from his sport
after causing an unprecedented accident in the history of the Athlete's Village.
He will bring shame to the image of the Athlete's Village.
There were also rumors he was a victim of unjust refereeing.
Actually, Jegal Gil was my patient.
As a result of psychogenic pain and self harm,
he repeated in-patient treatment at the psychiatric ward
for close to 3 years.
Of course, a mental health record shouldn't limit
one's chances of employment but
the issue is
Jegal Gil was different from any other patient.
Most patients' conditions tend to be accompanied by lethargy but
when Jegal Gil had a goal set,
he held onto it and did everything to achieve it.
He was very stubborn.
Jegal Gil, what are you doing right now?
Please come down!
- Please! - I'll escape because of you.
If you were going to come you should've come earlier.
You're here now that I have the window finally open.
He would also cleverly use the people around him.
Fire!
There's a fire! Fire!
Run! Fast!
Fire! Fire!
Fire!
Fire! Fire!
Quickly, get out! Get out!
Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly!
Quickly, quickly, it's a fire!
There's a fire! Fire!
There's a fire! Get out quickly!
Most of all, he was very daring.
Spit it out. Spit!
Ah, ah!
What are you doing?
Let go.
Sir, sir!
Jegal Gil is, in one word,
dangerous.
Starting from his athlete days,
his ability to set goals and put things into action
were unshakeable.
Anyway, we can't choose Jegal Gil. I won't choose him.
What if I say we choose him?
But Dr. Song!
I oppose as well.
It would be different if he was an athlete
but this isn't compatible with the work we're doing.
Then, he's unanimously disqualified. There aren't
any more opinions, right?
- Nope. - None.
Then, let's move on to the next person.
Shall we start?
Then, next is the mascot of short track national athletes,
skater Cho Ji-young, of Haneol Sports University.
Skater Cho Ji-young
despite the injury she suffered during the trials,
she showed off an impressive total score that landed her in
2nd place.
Ah, ah... What’s wrong with this? What's wrong with this microphone?
Should you be going out like this?
It's not like you're going to follow me around.
What can I do when I'm about to lose my mind?
Hey, Young-toe.
Gil, Gil, Gil! There's been a change.
A change? What's changed?
I don’t think Cho Ji-young is injured.
Her legs are fine when she leaves the room.
What do you mean it's not an injury?
She's using crutches right now… Oh?
Oh oh oh! She's running.
My name is Park Hyun-soo, reporter from Sunday Morning News.
I have a question.
- We're not taking questions. - Turn it around.
Focus on attacking Cho Ji-young's dad.
No, not a question for you.
Excuse me, reporter Cho Ji-hoon?
I understand you are Cho Ji-young's father.
Isn't this an envelope of money you are receiving?
No… That… That's…
Could it be that you forced skater Cho Ji-young
to give up on the finals, after receiving this money?
Did you know that skater Cho was not injured?
Is it true that you forfeited after receiving money?
Please do not avoid the question.
Everyone, there has been a misunderstanding.
Details of this situation will be announced later in a press release.
That money was money we gave that was returned to us.
My wife did give the ice skating federation money
but when I found out I let her know it was not okay
and we had the money returned to us.
Okay, he bit.
Now, go for the Agreement of Voluntary Abstainment.
If that's the case, that you did not receive money,
then why did Cho Ji-young who is not injured
sign the Agreement for Voluntary Abstainment?
Well that's… You may not understand if you're not from
the ice sports world.
Cho Ji-young is a
good friend of skater, Oh Sun-ah
and Cho Ji-young also had enough points
and had a light injury so
for friends who were lacking points…
Wouldn't that make it an undercover negotiation?
You say that because you don't understand short track.
You use that term so lightly!
These two skaters are good friends
and so Cho Ji-young voluntarily…
It wasn't voluntary.
Yes! Okay, good.
Hey.
Coach, you said that as a punishment for not skating
according to your strategy, I was to be excluded.
You hit me, asking why I wouldn't do as I was told.
Coach, you forced me to sign the agreement.
I wanted to race in the finals.
Skater Cho Ji-young! Skater Cho Ji-young!
Please explain!
Please speak more on this issue!
Coach!
Tell us about the envelope of money!
Please give us an explanation!
He's leaving!
Coach Oh, please say something!
All done here.
Okay, good job. Let's meet downstairs.
Yes, chief. It’s Pistol Park.
Please send my individual pay to my account.
Kids, we got paid.
Let's go eat beef.
Hey, turning it around worked.
I mean, there was no way they would've received money
if she wasn't injured.
Usually, families pay the federation.
After doing so and being forced to abstain,
wouldn't you want to talk?
How did you know that Cho Ji-young would confess?
I met her and she's actually pretty simple.
I thought about it and she told me on her own
that she wasn't injured.
Her brain is a bit on the naive side.
Your brain reading skills are getting sexier.
It's just reading the psyche.
Have you physically abused athletes?
Is it true you received money?
Is it true you enacted a strategy?
Did you hit the skaters?
Of course, I enacted a strategy. I'm a coach.
- Please tell us one thing. - Did you hit athletes?
That is a groundless lie.
How do you feel right now?
Why is that bastard, Jegal Gil, here…
We will send out a report…
Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?
So we will be releasing a report
to explain all of this so please be patient…
Hey, Jegal Gil!
Damn it, you!
You!
Young-toe…
You’ll face him straight on.
Don't avoid him. See it through.
Until, what seemed like too enormous to take on
shows its true self.
Then, you will see
the real appearance of the trauma that's been bothering you.
You'll realize he's just another
dirty human being.
Whether it's forgiveness or revenge,
you do it right then.
How was it seeing Oh Dal-sung?
Mmm…
I thought it was good I faced him.
It wasn't actually that hard.
So
once you do it, it's nothing,
but why did it seem like such a hard task at first?
It wasn't anyone's fault anyway.
It was just an accident.
But my heart was filled with blame and anger.
There was no where to pour that into so I poured it into myself,
wounding myself.
But I don't think I have to do that anymore.
Now, I'll at least be
a thorn under his fingernail.
Only that?
More like a giant nail this big.
Only that small?
You have to be at least an electric saw this big!
Just chop off his evil hand!
That's so violent.
You have to be violent.
Anyway, I want him to hurt that much
so he won’t be able to hurt any more kids like Ga-eul.
Right.
This incident goes beyond a simple concealed negotiation.
As a result of, accusations of instructor violence,
it is likely that Coach Oh Dal-sung will be let go
from the national skating coach league.
Skater Cho Ji-young, as a result of bribery,
will be excluded from the list of national athletes.
Cha Ga-eul, who is the next runner up…
Then…
What's going to happen, Mu-tae?
This… This… What's happening is…
Our… Our Ga-eul
is a… National athlete, mom.
She did it! She did it! She did it!
Oh my! Thank you Buddha!
Buddha helped us!
This is all because our Ga-eul skated to the very end!
Had she forfeited, she wouldn't have been in the running!
Still, see it to the end.
Knowing the end and seeing the end
are different things.
Good job. Good job.
You worked so hard. Thank you.
Don't cry!
If you cry, you lose luck!
Thank you.
That's why it's important to see things through to the end.
A person who has kneeled in front of humiliation
becomes stronger
than those who haven't been through those things.
Life is…
- To be enjoyed! - To be enjoyed!
Drink up!
Isn't this incredible?
This is the real stuff!
- Oh! - What?
I got accepted.
Where?
National athlete's village… Mental coach.
What? You're going there again?
You should just go do mandatory military service again.
I told you not to apply.
You were going on about not knowing until
you've looked at all the cards.
You really did it this time.
Did I?
- Son. - Gosh, you scared me.
Don't deflate. Just go for it, confidently.
Life is like a game of Gostop.
You don't even know a thing.
What's this strange feeling of deja vu?
Hey, son!
Life is like a game of Gostop.
Don't deflate. Just go for it, confidently.
Korean!
National athletes!
Eat shit!
Alright!
If I can't avoid it, I'll enjoy it.
Who knows, huh?
If this mess I made, will end up feeding me.
Is your life some sort of a gamble?
Can you will that to happen?
If not, then whatever!
What do we do?
- We live only today! - We live only today!
Hey!
We live only today!
If somethings repeat,
that's because there is a desire within it.
Something we want to go back and make right.
Our inner desperate SOS.
