EPISODE 11 UNLOCKED

Hey…

CHOCOLATE PIE

JANG JU-SEONG
JUNE 30, 1978 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2022

So his name was Jang Ju-seong.

We finally learned his name after he died.

Ju-seong…

I never got to call you by your name.

Now you can read that
as much as you want.

How could you leave just like that?

SKY, WIND, STAR, AND POETRY

How…



JANG JU-SEONG

You're back.

Where did you all go without me?

Hey.

Here.

Oh, did you get this for me?

No.

It's from Uncle MG.

But why did he make you do this for him?

Oh, I know. He's too shy.

He's just like Ha-seung, my classmate.

To some people,
he might've been a good person.

Here.

This man named Jang Ju-seong…

Before he died,
he was searching hospitals.

I think he was looking for someone.

All right.

He was looking for Kim Seon-ju, right?

I thought

you removed Kim Seon-ju
under the instruction of Bumyoung

and received the CEO position in return.

What are you trying to say?

But seeing you kicked out of Bumyoung,

I figured that wasn't the case.

Either you were abandoned

or never on Bumyoung's side
from the start.

He might be just feeling you out,
knowing everything.

Be careful.

But either way,

there must be something
you want to say to me at this point.

Why should I,

to Bumyoung's stool pigeon?

Me?

I'm not.

You concluded
that Mr. Kwak's case was a suicide

and returned the report on Baro 4.0
to the vice-chairman.

I'm not sure how you found those out,

but I'm really not.

Sorry I'm late.

Don't worry about it.

You're working for the country,
so I understand you're busy.

Right.

And there are so many people in the way.

It's found in the victim, Mr. Kwak's car.

It was hidden carefully.

So Mr. Kwak hid it, huh?

Wait.

I'm supposed to give it back to you by law
because it's confidential,

but you didn't kill him
because of this, did you?

Working for the government, Officer,
you shall not jump into conclusions.

The police have investigated the case,
and said it was a suicide.

To me, this case hasn't been solved yet.

Here.

We'll see then.

Oh, right.

When you get back to your office,

please tell Commissioner Hwang
that I said hi.

And that I'm always so grateful to him.

So you're saying
you were rather after Bumyoung,

not helping them out?

And why should I believe that?

What happened
to Kwak Sam-soo and Jang Ju-seong…

There had been incidents like that before.

I've been watching Bumyoung

for much longer than you think

Here.

This file will tell you everything.

Call me

if you change your mind
after reading that.

BUMYOUNG'S ILLEGAL POLITICAL DONATION

"Mr. Park of Bumyoung Electronics
committed suicide."

"Bumyoung's illegal political donation."

What did Detective Choi say?

He wants me to help if I know anything.

MG…

I mean, did they find
who killed Jang Ju-seong?

They're still working on it.

It seemed
that they don't have suspects yet.

You should've told him
to investigate No Wi-je.

Once they search through his phone or car,
they'll find something.

No.

MG didn't die

just to get No arrested.

I must keep a cool head
in a situation like this.

In-seong.

I got a text from MG

that we had a mole.

MG: THERE WAS A MOLE.

And there's only one person

who knew
that we were going to meet at the gym.

Ready or not, here I come.

Are you done hiding?

I told you to wait until I call

I'll call you when he's not around.

Let's put out a bait and see what happens.

I'll see you later then.

Sir.

Should I prepare your dinner today?

We're going on a business trip today.
We won't be back until late.

You can eat with Min-a alone.

Oh, I see.

CEO PARK IN-SEONG

Sorry, I just finished cleaning.

It's okay.

Today is my first day back at work,

so I came earlier than usual.

I see.

Ma'am.

May I ask what your name is?

You want to know my name?

I want to remember the names
of the people I appreciate.

Oh.

I'm Yeong-sil. Ko Yeong-sil.

Thank you, Ms. Ko.

Thank you for everything.

Sir.

-Sure.
-Well, then…

This may not be the best thing to say
in a situation like this, but…

Congratulations.

What?

Before, you became a CEO
because I asked you to,

but this time,
you earned that CEO position back

on your own.

Mr. Park.

Ms. Jung, what's the matter?

Hello.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?
Of course I want to welcome

the CEO of my subsidiary back.

"Welcome?"

How shameless you are.

I know you killed him.

I seriously don't know
what you're talking about.

How could you kill an innocent person?

Actually, I've always been so curious.

Because I know Kim Seon-ju pretty well,

and there had never been
a man named Park In-seong in his circle.

Seriously, what's your deal with Seon-ju?

Well, I'm asking this

because you might be the next innocent man

or…

your family.

What did you say?

Ms. Oh.

You know me, huh?

You're right.

You knew me, but I didn't know you.

And that is why all this happened!

Who is this?

I'm sure you're scared.

After all the things you have done.

What… What is this?

What the…

I should get going now. I have a meeting.

I wasn't expecting you to come.

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Luckily, you called us at the right time,
and we could save him.

This is definitely Seon-ju.

Pardon?

He's been unconscious, right?

Yes, ever since that day.

Are you sure this is the one?

You know I would never lie to you.

Mr. Kim really asked me

to deliver this report to Mr. Oh.

The leaves have grown too big.
We need to repot it.

I'll get a repot ready.

What's taking you so long?

Princess, I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm almost there.

5KM UNTIL CHUNGBUK CAMPING GROUND

Who drives like that?

We bought some garlic too.

-Hello?
-What's this called?

-My hands aren't hot.
-Min-a.

I can't hear you because of the noise.

Wait, what's going on?

Did it break down?

That's…

Hi, there.

I'm afraid you should come with us, sir.

Where is he going?

Darn it. Follow him.

Now! You idiots.

Run!

Go get him!

Come on! Run!

You've got to be kidding me.

We must catch him, okay?

That way! Over there!

Hey! Come on!

What's wrong? Did it hurt?

Did it?

Stand up.

Now, come with us.

Don't move. Just follow us.

Go check.

Damn it.

He had a diffuse axonal injury,
so we gave him emergency treatments,

but he's still unconscious.

And?

We'll need to wait and see for now,
to see if he could wake up,

but the longer he stays unconscious,
the slimmer the chance will be.

And?

I'm sorry. It was my mistake.

"Mistake?"

Were you the kind of person
who makes mistakes?

I don't think so.

I'll take responsibility for it.

Wait. Hold on.

UNTIL MY HEALTH ISSUE IS RESOLVED…

…TRUST MR. PARK FOR NOW…

GOLD WILL SHINE AND IRON WILL RUST.

All right, then. I'll be professional too.

Mr. Kim.

Yes, Ms. Oh.

I'm looking forward to our collaboration.

Likewise.

Please tell me this was a successful deal.

Let's wait and see.

Gold will shine, and iron will rust.

You're saying that again.

While seeing Seon-ju,
lying unconscious before my very eyes,

I got an email from him.

It could've been someone else
using his email account.

No.

"Gold will shine and iron will rust."

That's what I learned from him.

It made me anxious

to see someone pretend to be Seon-ju.

I just can't imagine
how much he could have prepared.

That's why I said we should wait and see

until we know what he's got in his hand.

Whatever he's got, if he cannot show it
when he's cornered like this,

I'm sure he has either nothing
or something useless.

That might be true.

If we hesitate, they might find us.

We might as well just remove this and--

What do you think they want the most?

Pardon?

Seon-ju will be my Joker.

Why did you do that? That wasn't like you.

What would Ms. Oh think about this?

She must be totally confused right now

to hear from Kim Seon-ju,
who is supposed to be lying next to her.

I know.
Why did you have to take such a risk?

-I did that for our sake.
-What?

Why do you think
Ms. Oh decided to keep you and I alive?

She's anxious
because she doesn't know what we've got.

So you bluffed on purpose?

We must make her believe that
there's someone else behind you, In-seong.

What we fear the most

is what we do not know.

Se-yeon?

She's about to leave the house.

I'll send you the location.

Who do you think she's waiting for?

That person must have arrived.

What…

What are you doing here?

Oh, hi. Mr. Park.

No, that would be horrible.

I was just…

Just what?

I was just selling the second-hand items.

What?

You know, Min-a's clothes
that are too small for her now

and her toys
that she doesn't play with anymore.

It's such a waste
to just throw them all out.

They are all from fancy brands.

She's right.

I told you. Look.

You've been doing this
for quite some time.

I know.

Mr. Kim is home. I've got to go.

Sorry.

I couldn't call you sooner.

He doesn't seem to come today either.

Meet me in the place we usually meet.

Her "Manner Temperature" is 45°C.

It's 45,8°C, to be precise.

And 98 percent of the users
want to trade with me again.

Then how did they learn
about our plan with MG?

Did you tell anyone else about it?

No, Ms. Jung is the only one I talked to.

I'm not lying. You can trust me.

Were there other people in the house then?

Well, Min-a and…

UNCLE MG

AREN'T YOU GOING TO EAT WITH US?

THANKS FOR THE CHOCOLATE PIE

WHEN ARE YOU COMING?

3 MONTHS EARLIER

I'm greatly interested
in the new CEO of Silver Lining.

I heard he's even moved in
with Mr. Kim's family.

I just want you
to keep a close eye on him.

I'm afraid
I'm not the person you're looking for.

-Hey, son.
-Dad, I got a job.

What?

There's this company that supplies
car seats to Bumyoung Motor Group,

and they suddenly called me,

saying that they wanted me
to start working from next week.

Did you send them my resume by any chance?

I see. Congratulations.

Hello?

It's me.

Tell Park In-seong
that I found Kim seon-ju.

What are you talking about?

Tell him I'll be waiting in the gym.

What do you mean, the gym?
And you found Mr. Kim?

He'll know which gym I'm talking about!

Hello?

EMPLOYEE PROFILE
NAME: SIM YUN-CHAN

I knew it. Mr. Sim's son got the job

in one of
Bumyoung Motor Group's suppliers.

What should we do now?

Mr. Sim is a reliable man.
We can talk to him.

No, we must look at the bigger picture.

"The bigger picture?"

I want a deal. I'm a CEO, you know.

Mr. Park's bodyguard died?

Yes, sir.
And the police are investigating it.

Man, I guess my niece is
up to something again.

Even though I told her to live quietly.

What should we do?

This is why when you pull weeds,
you need to root them out completely.

So there's no seed of hope to sprout.

What happened to your forehead?

I fell.

Hi. I'm here to pick up
the 13,000-won order.

Sure.

KIM SEON-JU'S DISAPPEARANCE OR DEATH?

You came home pretty late last night.

He worked until late.

Hey, turn on the TV right now.

Just do as I say.

Since the CEO of Silver Lining,

Kim Seon-ju disappeared overnight,

some suggest that he went missing.

And in the stork market,

rumors about his death are spreading.

Yes, Mr. Yoon. No, it's…

Is it true? Did Daddy die?

Is that why he's not coming?

No, that's no true.

As the rumor
about Kim's disappearance goes around,

some say Baro 4.0 might have failed too.

If that is the case,
the executive director, Oh Mi-ran,

must articulate her position,
as her plan was to launch

the self-driving vehicle by October 3rd.
I'm reporter of Naeil--

What in the world have you done?

As you taught me,

these days, everyone can be the press.

All I did was let it leak quietly

and those animals swarmed like bees,

blabbing about
his disappearance and death and all.

-Uncle.
-You seemed

to be having some vain hope,

so I woke you up.

What's wrong?

Do you still want the vain hope?

If you want,

I can leak the information
about who's behind

his disappearance.

Please wait
until we make an official announcement.

I'm sorry.

Hello, this is the secretary's office
of Silver Lining.

From the reporters
to our partners and competitors,

everyone is flipping out.

Is Mr. Kim really on sick leave?

Yes, he is.

No, he isn't!

You know what's going on, don't you?

You have to tell me the truth
so I can solve this mess.

Sir, the future of our company
is on the line.

It looks like
Mr. Oh came up with a clever way

to kick Ms. Oh out
while protecting Bumyoung.

But Silver Lining is in trouble now.

The moment I woke up inside the phone,

I knew this would happen someday.

Mr. Kim.

Though I didn't expect it
to happen this soon.

It's time to let the world know.

Prepare for a showcase.

If you've made up your mind,

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

Is it okay to be
in the playground at this hour?

Yes, because today is a special day.

I'm going to tell you a secret.

-A secret?
-Yes.

But I need you to promise me one thing.

Promise you what?

Did Daddy die?

No.

Why would you think so?

Promise me you won't tell anyone

about what I say from now on.

You can't say it
to your friends in kindergarten,

Mr. Sim, or Ms. Ji-hye.

Can you promise?

You promised then.

Listen, Min-a.

Your dad is safe.

Really? Where is he?

Here.

Mr. Kim Seon-ju…

I mean, your dad is living in here.

Liar.

No, I'm not. Check it for yourself.

Min-a.

That's Daddy.

Where are you, Daddy?
Why aren't you coming home?

Daddy can't go home at the moment.

But you can unlock this phone
when you're alone

to meet me anytime you want.

Why can't you come home?

I'm lost.
I can't find the way out of here.

But I'll figure it out
and come back to you as soon as possible.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

Until then, let's meet secretly.

This is a secret operation.

-Promise me.
-I promise.

You're going to Seoul
at this late hour? Why?

To see my successful son.

Just keep doing what you were doing.

Gosh.

He said he'd tell us about it later

once he gets everything sorted out.

"Later?"

Later when?
When he comes to visit our graves?

He's worrying his parents sick,

making headlines every day!

He should come and tell us
what on earth is going on.

Don't you trust your own son?

You don't trust him half as much
as you trust Cho Yong-pil, do you?

Why would you bring up
the great Mr. Cho here?

The great Mr. Cho, my foot.

It's not like he taught you how to farm

or how to do math.

I knew it.

I've always thought
something wasn't right.

I want you to be honest with me.

You're not his fan, are you?

No, I'm not.

Then whose fan are you?

The last night of October

Are you Lee Yong's fan?
The guy who is popular only in October?

MANAGER OF LIM YOUNG-WOONG'S
FAN CLUB, CHUNGBUK BRANCH

It's the era of Young-woong.

And it will be the era of Young-woong.

Stay healthy and happy!

I'm Lim Young-woong's fan.

Baro

Play "Trust in me" by Lim Young-woong.

Yes, I will. It is the era of Young-woong.

A SERIOUS ERROR HAS BEEN FOUND

DURING THE BETA TEST OF BARO 4.0

Where's Mr. Kim?

He's going to sleep with Min-a tonight.

I see.

I'm glad Min-a believes it.

We should've told her sooner.

I regret we didn't.

We're doing this
because we had no other option.

I still think it's dangerous.

It's too huge a deal
for a seven-year-old girl to handle.

Is it true

that Baro 4.0 has been completed?

Yes, keep your voice down.
It's supposed to be a secret.

Right. Sorry.

So you've been developing it secretly?

Of course. I was just doing my job

as the CEO of Silver Lining.

Okay.

Baro 4.0 has been completed.

Give me your phone, sir.

Give me your phone too, Ms. Oh

Sure.

So you want a deal, huh?

I have a lot to offer.

What about you, Mr. Park?

Baro 4.0 has been completed

I'll give it to you.

And I want Kim Seon-ju back in return.

They say your position makes you.

For the first time, you're like a CEO.

But before that,

we must resolve something first.

Ready, action.

It's such a shame
that there had been groundless rumors

about Silver Lining and CEO Kim Seon-ju.

"Groundless rumors?"

Isn't it true that CEO Kim Seon-ju
suddenly disappeared into thin air?

Mr. Kim didn't go missing.

He was developing Baro 4.0
in strict confidence.

And now it's finally completed,
I called you guys today.

How can we trust you?

It's been a while.

I'm Kim Seon-ju, the CEO of Silver Lining.

Are you really CEO Kim Seon-ju?

Where are you?

For security reasons,
I cannot tell you where I am.

I hope you understand.

Silver Lining is a world-class IT company.

There's a chance
that this is a deepfake video

or somehow made up.

Then I must be… Hi!

I must be fake too, right?

How creative of you.

Baro 4.0 is
not only Silver Lining's project.

It's Bumyoung Motor Group's
key project as well.

In the self-driving vehicle market,

there is fierce competition among major
corporations within and outside of Korea

to get the first-mover advantage,
as well as technology leakage issues.

To be the first mover
in the self-driving vehicle industry,

Ms. Oh and I

had to take this measure

until we made
the perfect version of Baro 4.0.

Does that mean Korea has
level-four self-driving vehicles now?

Will it be launched
on October 3rd as planned?

When will you start selling them?

Yes?

She's here.

As the world-famous SF author,

Arthur C. Clarke one said,

"Any sufficiently advanced technology

is indistinguishable from magic."

Seriously, I thought
I actually met Seon-ju.

To be the first mover
in the self-driving vehicle industry,

Ms. Oh and I had to take this measure…

You're still shameless.

What do you mean?

You're the one who suggested this.

Honestly, I wasn't entirely sure

if people would actually believe
this showcase.

But then I realized

I was fooled too,
right here in this office.

Then I knew it'd be successful.

You did well.

The showcase was an appetizer.

Let's get to the main dish now.

Sure.

There's a summerhouse I know.

I'll send you the address.

Meet me there on Saturday at 4 p.m.

There, we'll get what we want.

Take the darn hand off me!

Bring Oh Mi-ran here right now!

You disrespectful bastard.

How dare you touch me

My apologies, sir.

It's too big a handicap for us.

We don't know where we are going.

That's why I'm not sure
if we should accept this offer.

Do you think
she'd really just give us your body?

What if we end up losing Baro 4.0,
not getting anything in return?

Or even worse,

we could lose Baro 4.0

and put ourselves in danger.

Which is why we must prepare ourselves.

Hey.

You and Bumyoung's next chairwoman
seemed great together on that video.

What do you want from me,
bribing me with just some soup and rice?

Thanks for the file. I read it thoroughly.

I can't believe
I let the cat guard the fish.

I must have lost my mind.

To bell the cat,

you must be bold enough
to sacrifice some fish.

I see.

And?

Did you put the bell around Ms. Oh's neck?

Saturday at 4 p.m.,
at her summerhouse in Namyangju.

There, we'll find the smoking gun,
with which we can corner Oh Mi-ran.

Are you confident?

See if she looks good on her mug shot too,

like on that video with me.

What's Uncle doing?

He's checking
if the news about Baro 4.0 is true.

This must be a headache to him.

But to believe that Baro 4.0
was completed without Kim Seon-ju--

As his business partner,

I just hope he did.

And even if he was just bluffing,

does it matter?

Pardon?

The very news of the launching
of Bumyoung's self-driving vehicle

will make our stock price surge,

and make me a chairwoman.

But what if we actually lose Kim Seon-ju--

Sorry.

It seems that you still don't know me.

You know what?

Never in my life have I lost what's mine.

And I never will.

Daddy.

Do you know who is my favorite princess?

Your favorite princess?

Snow White?

You let me down.

Did you have fun with Daddy?

Yes. But he forgot
that my favorite princess

was Ariel in "The Little Mermaid."

Really? That's crazy.

Everyone knows Ariel is the best princess.

Sorry. I got confused.

Let's go to bed now.

-Let's play again tomorrow.
-Okay.

Wait.

It's for you.

What is it?

I drew it during the art class.

DADDY, MIN-A,
UNCLE, UNCLE BUBBLE GUM

Finally, the day has come.

I bet they got their ducks in a row.

Be careful, both of you.

Take the notepad.

Split up and search the rooms.

Yes, sir.

Stay still

What's this?

Open it.

Great.

Let's go downstairs.

Get inside.

Something feels off.

Don't move.

Search the rooms.

You bastards…

The person you have called is unavailable…

We've looked everywhere,
but there's no such a patient.

Are you okay?

Where are we?

We're in the server room of Silver Lining.

This is where we build
the database for Baro 4.0.

You came.

So you called the cops, huh?

Due to our disappointing level of trust,

we've changed our live drop.

Where's Kim Seon-ju?

He's in there.

Where's Baro 4.0?

Mr. Kim.

I'm so glad I'm alive.

Se-yeon, start the car.

Okay.

It is Baro 4.0.

What's taking you so…

-Get out of the car.
-Stay in the car.

Just go.

-Go without me!
-Shut up!

Get out of the car,
or Park In-seong will die.

If you get out of the car,

we will all die together, Se-yeon.

What do we do?

Probability-wise, In-seong is right.

If you get out of the car, you'll die too.

You must decide now.

Come on.

Start the car.

Ms. Jung, start the car!

Don't move.

Start the car, Ms. Jung!

Get them! We can't let them run!

Stop the car!

-Start the car.
-Okay.

Stop the car!

Come on! Stop them!

Se-yeon, you saved our lives.

Let's drive backward.

Backward?

Run!

Earlier, I saw there was
some space under the car.

If Mr. Kim tells you to duck
at the right time,

we can make this work.

All right. Let's try it.

Don't move.

Start the car, Ms. Jung!

Duck!

How did you come up with the idea
in such a short time?

I thought, "What would
In-seong do in this situation?"

Because I knew
you wouldn't just leave without me.

That was perfect teamwork.

The problem is that
the server room for Baro 4.0 is on fire.

To restore all the data…

It will take some time…

Mr. Kim, are you okay?

Mr. Kim?

Mr. Kim?

What's happening?

Se-yeon, could you pull over for a second?

Okay.

What's the matter?

And his soul is trapped in a phone.

Is that a new TV series?

I'm saying you're saying nonsense.

And you became the test model yourself?

The more data you have,

the more accurate
the deep learning AI can be.

It will be easier for a developer.

BARO 4.0 BETA TEST RESULT

"Update the database every Monday,

feeding in the week's data."

I have no memories
after Monday of that week.

"The AI cannot process unentered data."

But he forgot
that my favorite princess was Ariel

in "The Little Mermaid."

when it concluded
that doing that was more efficient,

the AI would act of its own free will.

Does that mean
the AI started to have emotions?

An AI that can think,
judge, and talk like me.

That will be Baro 4.0.

SETTING
INSTALLED TIME AND DATE

On June 10, Baro 4.0
was installed on the phone.

And that's the day Mr. Kim was attacked.

What are you doing, In-seong?

They're following--

SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN

No way…

SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN

What's inside the phone was
not Mr. Kim's soul.

It was Baro 4.0.

UNLOCK MY BOSS

How could you do this?

It's actually
more believable than hearing

that a human's soul
was locked into a phone.

This is probably the last time

we drink beer together.

I got Baro 4.0.

How about a handshake?

The safety of the self-driving vehicle
is not verified. Once it's launched…

Please make sure
to be fully ready for the launching.

What are you trying to pull here?
