One person of the six of us will be disqualified.
Musical chairs has begun.
Without a moment to catch my breath, the music begins again
and we must run in circles
hoping to not be the one.
Lee Moo-kyul, you do drugs, don't you?
Do you want me to guess which one you're doing?
So come to me
if you want to live.
Stop spouting bullshit.
Don't get all riled up.
You're breathing really hard.
Don't you dare go around spreading rumors.
I'll kill you.
A counselor cannot disclose a client's secrets.
The only thing is
you have to respond to my advice to become a client.
Then, I'll see you tonight, swimmer Lee Moo-kyul.
Ah, what’s it called? This… Come in your bathing suit.
Oh gosh, gosh… Excuse me… I…
You seemed like someone… I've seen before…
What are you doing? Not coming here quickly?
- Yes. - Yes.
When a dream you forgot about appears in front of you,
would that be a premonition
or simply my anxiety?
A premonition?
I mean, for example, could there really be
something like that?
Like having something you saw in a dream, actually happen.
Ah, well, even among scientists,
it's not like there aren't any that accept their existence.
Carl Jung called it the principle of concurrency.
As the subconscious and the material are connected,
he saw it as being possible.
Gosh. Enough with all that scholarly talk.
So are you saying it could be a premonition?
What kind of dream did you have?
Oh gosh, it's probably just a superstition
or simply my anxiety.
To thin Jegal Gil also feels anxiety...
That makes me happy somehow. It makes you seem more human.
If I… I… I'm not a human then
am I a cyborg?
Cyborgs do what they're told and don't cause trouble.
I haven't even caused any trouble. Why are you so on my case?
I might as well go ahead and just cause some.
I'm trying to be preventative, like a vaccine.
- Vaccine. - Ouch.
For who? For Jegal Gil.
Ah, yes, yes, yes. Thank you so much.
What am I? A virus?
Anxiety is like a fire alarm.
It's troublesome if it rings all the time but
it also protects us from danger.
Of course you feel anxious.
Especially here at the athlete's village.
I'll be off, then.
So smart. Just such a great head on those shoulders, huh?
Bring that in.
What do I do, Sun-ah?
Can't you say something?
We've always shared a room.
Yeo-woon scares me.
You figure out your own problems now.
Didn't you brace for at least that much when you pushed past me?
Ga-eul, you're close with Yeo-woon, right?
We used to be, four years ago.
It doesn't seem like it now.
Am I the one excluded now?
- Isn't that Lee Moo-kyul? - He's so good looking.
- Amazing. - Talk with me for a moment.
He’s so cool.
I heard they're together. Must be true.
It wasn't Yeo-woon who dated Lee Moo-kyul…
Moo-young.
You two as well. Go and get rest instead of spewing bullshit.
Okay.
What? Lee Moo-kyul does drugs?
If that's true, this is no small issue.
Who's going around saying stuff like this?
If this was just talk, I would've not paid any attention.
It's only tradition for rumors to circulate around the very elite.
There was an anonymous tip-off.
What is this?
So what about the gym Lee Moo-kyul goes to?
Oh gosh, you really don't know unless you're of athletic background.
Here, look.
The kid that Lee Moo-kyul is meeting here
is a former track star that got cut because of doping.
He's a steroid designer that almost everyone in this world knows of.
So Lee Moo-kyul is really doping?
Well, at the moment, it is only a suspicion.
But since a report came in to the Human Rights Center,
it's an issue we have to investigate.
But if once we start the investigation… Gosh…
Professor Gu…
Mr. Director, if you just give us a bit of time…
I get it. Calm down.
You do understand that this is the extent of how much
I can help you right?
I can't help you for very long.
Yes.
- So it really wasn't you? - Moo-kyul.
Then, how does that bastard know?
When it's just you and I that know.
He probably just guessed.
You know how coaches do that sometimes.
If he's a mental coach, then at the very least
he's required to keep his clients' secrets.
You don't have to be this worried.
If you're uncomfortable then you ask for a room change.
I'm not uncomfortable.
How can we not be uncomfortable, you and I?
What happened that day,
it's obvious Coach Oh will figure out it's one of us.
I don't want to be uncomfortable with you anymore.
I don't have time to be uncomfortable.
As I've told you,
I want to compete with you over rankings.
Sounds like it hasn't been over rankings until now?
Don't twist my words. I need you.
You're the ace right now
and I need you to run ahead of me
so that I gain the strength to catch up to you.
You're so… It must be nice being that simple.
I'm that desperate of a runner up.
It's not true.
I'm not sure where you heard that from but
it's not me.
Then, what's this, huh?
Why would you meet a steroid designer in the
middle of the night?
This is an obvious reason for suspicion for doping.
- It's not doping. - Then, what is it?
Do you know what you've just done?
Without a doubt, your career as an athlete will end
and now our company might fall to the ground.
Just as renewal of sponsorships is around the corner…
In front of people who are doing their best to catch you
in a moment of weakness,
what kind of stupid thing have you done?
This bastard won't even listen to his father anymore.
Why are you hitting him?
He says it's not true.
A parent should believe their kid if one says it's not true.
It's because you keep protecting him that he's become this weak.
Takes drugs just because things get a bit hard.
How will you become the best in the world with a
rotten mentality like that?
Lee Moo-kyul does not have much more left to go.
He cannot fall behind now. He's got to keep going.
A miracle is happening in South Korean swimming history!
Lee Moo-kyul has won gold!
Lee Moo-kyul has done it!
How was a genius like that created in South Korea?
First time ever in our Olympic history,
we have brought home gold for swimming!
You are joining us in the moment
in which South Korea has risen to the top of international swimming.
I didn't think he'd come.
I am strong.
My training is perfect.
I do not lose.
It's happening again.
Wake up, Lee Moo-kyul.
It's just a dream.
You have to wake up.
Lee Moo-kyul, huh?
Wake up, Lee Moo-kyul.
Huh? It's just a dream.
Moo-kyul, Lee Moo-kyul, huh?
Lee Moo-kyul, Lee Moo-kyul!
It's just a dream. A dream. Wake up. Wake up!
Are you okay?
How many fingers am I holding up? How many?
Wake up. Wake up.
He's still not fully awake.
What, what, what, what?
Give it here. I'll open it.
I'll open it. Just wait.
- Give me my pills. - I’ll open it for you.
- Give it to me! - Okay, okay.
No!
It's not going to work even if you take it.
I mean, why don't you just come to counseling?
Why did you make me come find you?
I'll kill you!
You bastard, let go!
Why are we doing this as men? Stay still.
Let go. Let go.
- You're dead. - Stay still, Lee Moo-kyul.
Moo-kyul, stay still.
Oh gosh.
Moo-kyul, wake up.
Get it together. Stay still.
Let go. Stop getting riled up. Stay still.
Stay still.
I'm bleeding.
My nose is bleeding, you bastard!
Damn it!
Damn it.
Hey, hey, hey! The door's going to break.
Oh gosh, seriously.
What good is it if you're the fastest in the world?
You can't even open a door.
- How did you know? - Say sir.
Who told you…
Sir…
Who do you think? Huh?
You're suspicious of everyone, right?
Can't trust a soul?
That's why you're doing this shit, huh?
If you don't come see me tomorrow I'll just gosh
I'll call CADA, huh?
Gosh, damn it!
I've warned you.
That idiot bastard!
What's this?
I apologize for the trouble we've caused.
Thank goodness I found out first.
Imagine if this had gotten into the hands of CADA first.
Is this an issue that would bring only Lee Moo-kyul down?
Do you know how much the federation supported him?
If this gets out, the Korean swimming world,
no, the Korean sports world will blow up to pieces.
My goodness.
Well, our athlete really denies any of this is true.
Anyway,
we have caused huge trouble even just with the suspicion.
Thank goodness I found out first.
Imagine if this had gotten into the hands of CADA first.
Is this an issue that would bring only Lee Moo-kyul down?
Do you know how much the federation supported him?
If this gets out, the Korean swimming world,
no, the Korean sports world will blow up to pieces.
Well you all do your very best to cover this up.
Gosh, our Jegal.
He's too good to waste…
Good.
There's a saying that all information in the sports world
goes through Gu Tae-man. Why do you think?
Buzz. Because he knows a lot of people.
Wrong!
That thieving bastard who stole our Gil's medal by being sneaky.
- Wrong. - He's the director of
the Human Rights Center.
Ring ring ring correct!
Those who hold the information have all the power.
That's the reason why Gu Tae-man so stubbornly focuses on
the very boring Human Rights Center.
So what you're saying is
Gu Tae-man is rivals with Jeon Chang-gil,
the head of the Swimming Federation.
And he hired me as a national athlete mental coach
to use me as a hunting dog to attack Jeon Chang-gil?
Yes, according to my informant.
- So? - So, what I'm saying is
let's just sell this, huh?
If Gu Tae-man doesn't move the way we expect
then the athlete gets hurt.
If we sell it to the agency first?
Then the athlete doesn't get hurt and we can get at least $100K
for the photo.
Then, we should just keep pushing on with this.
- Why? - Play off against him.
A chance for a counterattack!
Wait, what you just said… What does that mean?
What if Gu Tae-man doesn't go for the bait?
Then, who cares. What do we do? Hey!
Let's live tomorrow too!
Can't we also live tomorrow as well? Huh?
He's so irresponsible.
So what was that you said earlier?
We've already thrown the bait.
Fishing is all about waiting.
But what is this?
- This is so good. - Right?
It’s low in calories and really yummy.
So I get that it's yummy but
what was that you were talking about earlier?
- Gosh this bastard! - Stop it already.
Stop it.
Starting today, we will be doing psychological evaluations on
the athletes who have entered the village.
Let's start with the ice rink first.
Dr. Park, you evaluate the skaters that were involved in the investigation
- Okay. - and Jegal
you handle the psychological test on Lee Moo-kyul.
But do we really have to do the test?
There were many athletes that would answer untruthfully…
Sorry?
You can see if they're lying, if you're analyzing it correctly.
Sure, that must be the case.
The issue is not knowing what they're hiding, Dr. Park.
Who do you think it was?
You're suspicious of everyone, right?
You can't trust anyone, right?
Moo-kyul, isn't it time for you to start training in the water?
You know I'll start when it's time to.
I do.
But the other athletes don't know that.
If they see you like this, they'll get jealous.
That's not such a bad thing, is it?
Train until you die so you can be like me.
Hey, Lee Moo-kyul.
Are you giving the coach attitude, just because you're doing
- a bit well these days? - Not a bit. A lot.
I'm doing really well these days.
Thanks to the coach that taught me well.
Coach, they're asking for Moo-kyul for psychological evaluation.
Go on.
- I'll see you tonight. - Yep.
Han Dong-jin, come and train for yourself.
How long will you simply be Lee Moo-kyul's training partner?
Have some more greed.
Will it happen just because I'm greedy?
We're on completely different levels.
I tend to work hard during training.
That's obvious stuff.
I gain confidence when I am
encouraged by my teammates.
Who do you think it was?
Not at all.
I gain confidence when I am
encouraged by my family.
All we need is for you to do well.
Neutral.
I gain confidence under the guidance of a great mentor.
Go home if you're pissed off.
Not at all.
I chose this sport
because there was no other choice for me.
Agree.
You should've at least put some thought into it.
What is this? Huh?
It's so obvious you chose answers randomly.
I'm the type to go after just one bastard so.
You're doomed if that one bastard is stronger than you.
You know what'll happen if you don't show up tonight, right?
I really oughta…
Competition anxiety, confidence,
internal motivation, performance strategy…
The numbers are a bit low for all the categories.
Four years ago, your scores were almost all at the highest rank.
I wonder what happened to you in that time?
Nothing really…
But is it that bad?
This is not a test.
Human emotions are not something you can
judge as being good or bad.
Everything you feel is correct.
Let's say this is the case with the coach but
are you by chance having difficulty with family or teammates?
No, not particularly.
Huh?
Your father and brother were also athletes?
Your father was a world champion boxer?
Did you inherit his genes?
Is census taking necessary during a psychological evaluation?
Oh…
Gosh, that quack bastard…
Why are you avoiding me?
I'm not easy either.
My ego can get bruised too, you know?
Is it true that you went to Coach Oh's room early morning?
- Lee Moo-kyul. - My ego bruises too.
It's embarrassing for me to even be asking this.
It embarrasses you to even ask this question?
Then, how do you think I feel, having to answer?
So then just say it's not true.
Why are you not answering?
Say it isn't true already.
Who are you?
Who are you to do this to me?
You're right. I'm a nobody.
I can't even medal.
I'm a nobody.
But now I see that even the great Cha Ga-eul is a nobody.
I'm embarrassed I even liked a girl like you.
I feel disgusted.
I also had to be that way. Blame it all on you.
Be merciless when ending things.
While I crawled the floor, failing to do just that,
this kid won gold three times.
If you're acting this way because of Han Yeo-woon…
I'm not curious.
I don't want to know your truth either.
You're just a terrible bastard.
It's all your fault.
Be merciless when ending things.
Cha Ga-eul, what I said back then was…
If you noticed that I've been avoiding you,
then can you not talk to me?
I feel disgusted.
Do it right back.
I'm embarrassed, too.
So don't act like you know me.
I didn't say come in.
Gosh, you can really hold a grudge.
Dr. Song told you to be of guidance to me.
Is something not going well with Lee Moo-kyul?
I mean, I've got a tight grip on that one.
How's Cha Ga-eul?
Isn't she cold?
Not at all.
Other than when her dad's brought up,
she's overall pretty adaptable.
Oh… Really?
How about the results of that psychological evaluation?
To be honest, there were some things that worried me.
[Seung-ha] Her scores in the social support category were very low.
This is just my speculation but
Hey, what will you do if you can't even handle this?
seeing how irritable she got when her dad was brought up,
and her relationship with Coach Oh,
whenever she comes in conflict with a man of authority,
while she is trying to accomplish something,
it becomes a psychological obstacle.
To put it simply, she has nothing to lean back on.
Like a psychological support.
So her confidence falls and anxiety increases
because she has to do everything on her own.
But it wasn't this bad 4 years ago.
I think something must've happened in that time to have triggered this.
What is it?
Why weren't you like this when you were treating me?
Because you were always causing trouble, Jegal Gil.
It was because I'm a woman, right?
Though I don't know the details, I can assume you had issues
within your relationship with your mom.
The type to not easily trust women.
You've never even dated, right?
Do you have some divine ability or something?
Though I failed, I was your psychologist, Jegal Gil.
You're in the palm of my hands.
A woman who knows too much about me is overwhelming.
In front of other men, try not to act like you know everything
even if you do.
Or else you'll never get married. You already seem like
the type to have a hard time with that.
Jegal Gil, you should be less aggressive when you speak
to other women.
Men who can't stand to lose once in a conversation are annoying.
Wait a minute…
Why did you quit working at the hospital?
I realized I have no talent in taking care of patients,
thanks to someone.
Thanks to who?
Wait… Me?
I wasn't going to be petty and say anything but
okay fine, let me ask you now.
Don’t bite me hard, okay?
Okay but back then
why did you suddenly stop going to the hospital?
When you took a bunch of sleeping pills from
the pharmaceutical lab and almost died.
Back then… I…
Hey, Park Seung-ha,
you can’t even take proper care of the pharmaceutical lab?
A patient almost died!
I'm sorry, sir.
You don't belong in the psychiatry department.
Go to the pediatric department and play with the kids there,
instead of torturing a severely ill patient.
Give up if this work doesn't suit you.
If you feel upset about being hit,
then stop doing sports and go live your life running your mouth.
If you feel upset about losing,
then stop doing sports and go get into street fights.
Victory.
Why are you like this to me?
You're my first patient.
I'm doing as much as I can
to save your life.
Why do you keep trying to die?
If you want to die so badly,
then go die somewhere I can't see.
Why do you keep doing this where I can see…
What do you want me to do?
If you want to die so badly, then go die somewhere I can't see.
Why are you like this to me?
To me… Seriously… To me…
You suddenly disappeared after that.
1 year. 2 years. 3 years.
I thought because of me…
Because of what I said last…
You might have really died somewhere.
So I thought, "Ah… I have no right to be a doctor."
"I failed."
But instead of dying, you lived perfectly fine.
Ah, you're living perfectly well.
And what, you're a mental coach?
Gosh. After shattering someone else's mental health to pieces, seriously…
Wow, that's why you hated me.
It was my first time failing so horribly.
I thought I was good at everything.
I’ve always been in 1st place since I was little.
But in real life, I wasn't.
Always getting scolded
and people told me I was a nuisance to others.
I was a nobody.
But that nobody Park Seung-ha saved me.
Not the Park Seung-ha who's in 1st place.
Not this successful doctor.
Thanks to the Park Seung-ha who cried for me
I lived.
I mean seeing a woman cry like a child because of me
it really brought me to my senses!
I thought it would be too embarrassing to die this way
so I should live.
It seems like things with the swimming federation will be
taken care of easily as well.
It'll be difficult for Chairman Go to be re-elected.
Yes, since all his money comes from them.
But I do think there will be some noise…
Noise?
But that nobody Park Seung-ha saved me.
Not this successful doctor.
Thanks to the Park Seung-ha who cried for me
I lived.
- Please have some. - Yes.
I'm just really curious…
Why did you accept Jegal Gil for the role?
Why? Are you that uncomfortable with him?
Ah… No… No… I mean…
But aren't you as well, Professor Gu?
The competition that led to Jegal Gil's expulsion
there was some controversy regarding the referee's verdict.
I wondered if you two had a strained relationship as well…
Uhm…
Jegal might feel that way but
I don't harbor anything like that.
I just feel sorry for him.
He was a good athlete but he couldn't accept the results
and left dishonorably.
He also seems to still have a victim complex.
I hope that through this opportunity Jegal also recovers well.
Moreover, I think from the perspective of the athletes,
he would genuinely be able to relate to them.
And it's true that this season has a lot of problems as well.
Ah… I see.
I must have misunderstood, Professor Gu.
Misunderstand what?
This has been the case with a lot of folks who come to our place
from the athletic association.
Rather than thinking of the athletes' perspectives,
they often were focused more on their own ambitions.
Since you came to us as a result of the association,
I judged you to be one of them.
Ah…
My dad really is a good person but…
Please go on and eat. You haven't had a single meal today.
Yes.
Thanks to you, I avoided eating alone.
Please go ahead.
Seems like her relationship with her dad isn't too great…
And she's simpler than I'd thought?
Not bad.
To put it simply, she has nothing to lean back on.
Like a psychological support.
Stop crying Jegal Gil.
Men don't cry.
Until your dad gets out,
you have to guard our home.
Isn't that true?
Yes. That's true.
Yes.
So her confidence falls and anxiety increases
because she has to do everything on her own.
Musical… Chairs?
That came to mind.
One out of six will definitely be cut.
It's like musical chairs.
But why is your face like that?
What's wrong with my face?
"Those chairs are not mine.
There was never a spot for me to begin with."
As if you’re freeloading at someone else’s house.
You're vigilant and nervous.
You've already lost.
Who's going to acknowledge the athlete that won
because she got lucky?
And everyone thinks I plotted for this to happen.
But Cha Ga-eul, you didn't do this.
The one who plotted first was Oh Dal-sung.
The truth isn't important.
People believe what they want to believe.
Because it's too difficult
to go on without hating at least one person.
Who does Cha Ga-eul hate?
You need strength to hate.
I can't afford to hate.
Cha Ga-eul even needs qualifications to hate.
Cha Ga-eul even needs qualifications to die.
Can I ask you something?
By any chance, four years ago,
did something happen between you and Lee Moo-kyul?
Ah, I'm cold.
I should go in before they lock the dorm doors.
You know, the musical chairs you said.
Hm… Instead of looking at how little chairs there are,
keep looking at the chair in front that is closest to you.
No matter what happened, the past has no power.
Look ahead.
What's right ahead of you
is a chair that Cha Ga-eul can rest on.
Me.
Hey, you have to do something about that leg.
Make some time this weekend.
Go see my dad and get it treated.
Hey, Coach Cho.
Are the preps for the competition going well?
Who's competing?
Almost there.
One more time.
Put more strength into it.
Keep the posture until the end.
Why are they coming into the athlete's village and causing trouble?
I think they're looking for someone?
Don't pay them any mind. Keep going.
Where are you going, Han Yeo-woon?
Where's Moo-kyul?
Well…
Excuse me.
We're here from the Korean Anti-Doping Agency.
By chance is Lee Moo-kyul…
According to the basic tests I ran, there seem to be no big issues.
But if he fainted out of nowhere…
His roommate said that he hadn't been in good condition
for a while.
I thought he was just pretending so I told him to train in the water
but suddenly…
I think it would be best he gets a physical examination at
an external hospital.
- I'll acquire a travel pass for you. - Got it.
We're here from CADA.
Is Lee Moo-kyul here…
Look for him.
Look everywhere Lee Moo-kyul could be.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Ah, where is he?
Was there an athlete that came out to the entrance?
No.
Please prohibit anyone from exiting the premises.
Please let us know immediately if an athlete comes this way.
What's happened?
Oh, you're here?
Move over.
The CADA folks are coming.
So why didn't you come to counseling like I told you?
You had to make me come all the way here to find you?
You reported me, didn't you?
It was bound to happen.
This bastard.
If I get caught, you're done too!
You leaked a client's secret.
Do you think you'll be safe?
I mean do what you want with that.
Let's go quietly and turn yourself in. Follow me.
Gosh damn it!
Damn it?
Please just let it go this once.
Why should I?
Should I kneel then?
Don't kneel. I'll feel too sorry.
Ah…
Please just let it go.
What are you so scared of?
They say there's a doghole somewhere near.
- Look around! - Yes, sir.
Please.
- Darn it. - Here, here!
He's here!
Here! Here!
Come here, quick!
Get up, get up, get up, get up.
Get up, get up, get up.
Why are you running away?
Who says I was running away?
Where is the nearest bathroom?
Just right out here in that building.
- You can go that way. - Yes, thank you. Let's go.
Why are you coming along? Darn it.
What, jerk? Why I oughta!
The scent of blood is spreading in the village again.
Bodhisattva of compassion.
Let's pray for this young lost lamb.
Amen, hallelujah.
In the name of the father, son, spirit, amen.
You have to fill this up where we can see you.
Tell him to leave.
It's a rule to have a coach with us.
He's not my coach.
I am the mental coach.
Please pull down your pants.
Take it off already.
Please just pull down your pants.
He bit. He bit.
Lee Moo-kyul has gone to get tested for doping.
Wow, that Gu Tae-man, sneaky bastard.
He really handed over that athlete?
Will Gu Tae-man be the hunting dog that gets the pheasant?
Hey Gil.
They just came by and went.
Of course he had to bite. He had too much to gain.
Gosh, that scared me.
Leave today's humiliation as just today's humiliation.
The sun will rise tomorrow.
I will kill you, Jegal Gil.
Wait one moment.
The next time you see me, you'll be begging for me to save you.
Of course we had to do it as soon as we could.
It's best to get rid of suspiscions early on.
Then, please let me know as soon as the results come out.
Hey, Reporter Kang! What are you doing for dinner?
No, it's not anything really.
Just wanted to see if you wanted to grab something to eat.
How's tuna sashimi?
You can't pass tuna can you?
Okay, see you there.
Why is he in such a good mood
after sending an athlete to CADA?
How could you just give an athlete over to CADA?
Are you some CADA employee?
Are you the police?
How could you just hand over an athlete?
How many times have we told you not to get personally involved?
Don't you know that a mental coach
has to be on the athlete's side no matter what?
I mean, "A mental coach has to be on the athlete's side
no matter what?"
You say that but don't you feel a bit suspicious at all?
I feel like you two are sure Lee Moo-kyul likely did take part
in doping.
Right?
See, I told you.
It's best to get rid of suspiscions early on.
Yes, that's it.
Well, have a good weekend. I'll be off.
Hey… Gosh, look at him.
This is why I objected him being on this team.
That… Oh gosh… Oh gosh really…
You're right.
We should fire him once the results come out.
Sorry?
Do you really think Moo-kyul did drugs?
Who knows?
Random tests happen at least once to the very top athletes.
In my opinion, he must have.
That's why Yeo-woon got so pale and started running to Lee Moo-kyul.
Don't you think so?
Cho Ji-young,
read the room.
What did I do?
Because you changed your statement, we're about to re-do the trials.
Can't you see how everyone's stressed?
If you want to argue that then Cha Ga-eul started it.
She's the one who pushed through on luck.
Why are you just scolding me?
Do you think just making the cut is easy?
I just made the cut because I was getting your guys' back.
I wasn't saying it about you…
My goodness, you're all excited to be going out, huh?
Back in my days,
we didn't leave no matter how much they told us to.
Why?
While I played, there would always be someone working hard.
Like our Cha Ga-eul.
We have a date for the test.
The 13th. Next, next Monday.
Don't lose the tension. Keep practicing.
That's all.
Coach!
My goodness, our practice lover skater Cha Ga-eul!
Do you have something to say to me?
The 13th is my competition day.
So?
I have to compete as the representative for the work team…
Ah, I see.
Why is your coach putting a national athlete in a competition?
My goodness.
Well, guess the athlete will have to make the right decision.
Whether to do the work team competition
or test to be a national athlete.
Ga-eul,
I am giving you the chance to undo your mistake 4 years ago.
Is it the work team or me?
Choose wisely this time.
Let's just leave, huh?
Nothing will change just because you stay here.
You'll just be upset the more you hear these rumors.
Are you sure it's not you?
The only people who went there that night were me and you…
Moo-kyul.
Sorry.
Go.
Get it. Let's go eat spicy cold noodles.
Competition?
Don't they excuse national athletes?
Plus, you have an injury.
Why don't you speak with Young-toe?
I think I'll discuss it… With my mom.
Someone said that
being nervous is a given.
But when you feel nervous
don't be alone.
Come to us, anytime.
Go in.
They want you to quit? Why?
I don't know what went wrong.
Don't worry.
I've already asked the bath house for some favors.
If not, there's a lot of housekeeping jobs.
Please don't overwork yourself.
I'll try to get some loans too.
Don't do that so haphazardly.
You shouldn't borrow money from the bar or anything.
In terms of the house, we still have a few days
until reconstruction.
We can slowly look for places.
I'm just worried about Ga-eul.
Her leg and all.
We should be taking her to a nice hospital and what not.
Oh… You're going to work?
Hey! You're off on vacation.
Yeah…
Eat lots of mom's food and get a ton of rest, okay?
I'll be back.
Have a good day at work.
Coach Cho, it's me, Ga-eul.
I'm so sorry but the competition day…
What are you talking about? You have to race!
You're our team's ace.
If you don't race, you might get your contract taken away.
Really think about it.
It's all Oh Dal-sung's doing.
An athlete with an unhealed injury. Instead of helping her recover,
he wants her to compete?
That's not the problem right now.
She can't test for the national team.
He's saying this or that you're going to be screwed.
Are you not going to do anything?
There's no proof that this is Oh Dal-sung's doing.
Then should I take these kids
and do a little mental training?
Let's just post it on YouTube.
It doesn't really make for an actual news story.
This kind of a power trip you can post on YouTube and just…
Then, you'll expose the athlete.
The athlete will be retaliated against.
It's not like he's going against the rules.
Then, just tell her to give up on the work team.
It's not like they're paying her that much.
It's likely at least a few $10K.
Really?
She's already won a medal before.
She's different from us no-medals.
Then, just tell her to give up on the national team.
Then why win an Olympic medal? The pay is only about
a hundred something.
But 90% of athletes are no-medals that can't even
earn that much.
We said we wouldn't talk like that.
Why would you say something like that and make me cry?
You're crying…?
He's crying again.
Hey, you bastard, don't cry.
What's so wrong with being us?
Sang-goo, you? You're great at delivering alcohol.
Soo-ji is great at selling alcohol.
Me? I'm great at… Drinking.
What a mess.
Ring the bell. Drinks are on me.
Yes. Close the shutters.
We’re calling Bok-tae and Pistol Park is paying! Yes!
Lee Moo-kyul's doping test results are out.
Really?
Give it here.
Wow, Chairman Jeon Chang-gil struggled a lot to cover this up.
Exactly.
But doping is a huge issue. What will he do?
What's this?
Thank goodness.
If this had been doping, Jeon Chang-gil would have been finished.
This can't be.
So that is doping.
It says inderol. That's a prohibited substance.
That doesn't count as doping for Lee Moo-kyul.
How come?
In sports like archery and shooting,
it’s prohibited as it can enhance performance but…
Exactly!
For swimming, it actually can worsen the performance.
It's used to calm nerves.
A sedative.
It's medication that gets prescribed to those with panic disorders.
So?
So the outside world will find out soon.
Iron mentality Lee Moo-kyul has a panic disorder.
You're going down with me.
Giving out client secrets… I'll…
Report it. Report it.
You'll be the only one to suffer since it'll be a false accusation.
It's not me.
Then who could it be?
Everyone is suspcious right?
You can't believe a single soul, right?
That's why you ended up doing something like this.
Leave the medicine to the pharmacists
and diagnosis to the doctors.
I mean, if you have symptoms, you should get proper treatment.
Why go to someone like Noh Sang-sik?
Sang-sik, where are you?
What's this?
- Sang-sik! - My goodness.
Oh, hey. Jegal came here, right?
My memory is a bit…
He did come here.
- The medicine you sold. - Yes, sir.
Did he know it was inderol?
Yes, sir.
That bastard.
He dared to stab me in the back?
Noh Sang-sik that bastard…
Soon, the results of the test will enter the public discourse.
If you keep going this way, you'll just be
a panic disorder patient.
- I'm not. - No, you are not.
If you had been, the medicine should have worked.
But it didn't work at all.
Do you know why?
You don't have anxiety.
This is yips.
Who would believe a quack like you?
If you don't believe me, go in.
If it's a panic disorder,
you should have persistent symptoms.
And the pills should have worked.
But you don't normally have symptoms.
Except
for when you stand near the water.
That's why you can't train in the pool.
Aren't I right?
- No. - Then, go in.
If you can, then I'll accept that I'm a quack.
I'll stop being involved.
What? You can't do it?
A swimmer who's ranked 1st internationally
- is afraid of water? - No.
If you're not, then you can just go in.
What are you so scared of?
Don't come near me.
Don't run away, you bastard.
Listen, Lee Moo-kyul.
Nobody dies of a panic disorder.
But suspicion can sometimes kill a human.
You don't have a panic disorder.
That's why you can go in.
The reason why you believe you can't
is because you are denying and hiding yourself.
Lee Moo-kyul,
you have yips.
What would you know?!
I can only help if you ask for it.
If you don't say anything, no one can help you.
So ask for help.
Asking for help is the start to treatment.
Once you do it, it's nothing.
You can do it, Lee Moo-kyul.
Don't fall for it.
You can't show them your weakness.
Everyone will try to stab you.
Hey, hey, come here, you.
That bastard, really won't listen.
Can’t get through to him.
I am strong.
My training is perfect.
I do not lose.
I do not lose. I do not lose.
Anxiety is like a broken fire alarm.
Just because of one small spark,
it gives off sirens all day and night.
Hey, Cha Ga-eul!
You dare challenge me?
I told you I won't just let you
touch me again.
So what if you won't, huh?
What if you won't?
Are you going to go tell that bastard again?
Go tell him.
Just like when he chased Cho Ji-young out,
go and tell Jegal Gil and ask for help.
What are you talking about?
Dal-sung.
This isn't your fault.
It was a mistake and an accident.
Right! It… It was just an accident!
Something that could easily happen!
I didn't do it. You did.
So.. So why are you doing this to me?
Stop messing with Cha Ga-eul.
I forgive you for my past but
I can't forgive you for something like that.
If you keep doing this, I'll
want to get revenge on you so stop it, huh?
Anxiety hangs onto the past
while wandering around in a future that never comes.
You know well.
To kick me and Cho Ji-young out,
Jegal Gil teamed up with a reporter.
To add on to that, you send someone to me?
Go Young-toe of all people?
Hey, Cha Ga-eul,
what kind of relationship do you and Jegal Gil have?
Did I say something wrong?
What did you say that I got called into the room?
It's true that you went around telling rumors.
Plus, I didn't talk about you I just…
Hey, Cha Ga-eul, are you dating Coach Oh?
Hey, Oh Sun-ah!
Then, why did you leave his room early morning?
Anxiety is like a broken VHS tape,
that plays over and over again.
Hey, your coach is not done speaking!
You said it wasn't you!
You said it wasn't!
Wait, Cha Ga-eul, let's calm down…
You said you weren't involved in the Oh Dal-sung stuff.
Why did you lie to me?
You're talking to me informally again?
Stop being nice to me.
Stop pretending we're close.
Stop bothering someone who's already having a hard time
just trying to train.
Stop making a fool out of me.
Is getting help foolish?
You're helping me?
No, they all want something.
Because they all want something from you.
If he really knew you,
do you think he'd still like you?
So what if you're a bit weak sometimes?
So what if you get some help, huh?
Something happened, right?
Tell me what happened so I can help you.
Can't you see that you trying to help
is making things worse?
I don't want to be counseled by you anymore.
Don't say hello even when you see me.
Okay. Alright.
There's nothing I can do,
until you reach out first.
Let's end
our sessions.
Anxiety makes fun of us
and isolates us in the end.
