*The tense of this episode is past tense.

"ha..."
이장혁
"Why are you just sighing like that, Park Mu-jin?"
박무진
"Oh, you're here.."
이장혁
"Why, is it unavailable again?"
박무진
"That's true, isn't it? I'm not young, and I'm not a good student. Where would they accept me?"
박무진
"My wife said she's due to give birth soon... I have no money and I don't know what to do."
이장혁
"Still, your body is pretty tired. If it's really hard, try finding some manual labor."
박무진
"I've decided never to do that again since I got hurt doing it before. I can't do manual labor. It's not human."
이장혁
"Um... Mujin, then do you want to work at our company?"
박무진
"What? Your company? Where is that?"
이장혁
"It's something similar to banking... It's quite profitable, so if you do it well, you can earn more than 2,000 won a month."
박무진
"In such a nice place...you're accepting me?"
이장혁
"I have a connection with our Daebbang. We were friends when we were young, but we met by chance and have been working together ever since."
박무진
"Now that I look at it, you... were a great person?"
이장혁
"I'm a bit like that. You think you're living comfortably because you have good friends. Anyway, you'll do it, right?"
박무진
"If you accept me, then of course I should. When can I go?"
이장혁
"Right now. Follow me."
박무진
"What? Right now? I didn't even wear a suit..."
이장혁
"You don't have to wear a suit, just come. Our company is a bit hard to find, so you should come with me."
박무진
"Oh, okay. Okay. Let's go."
???
"Are you here, sir?"
이장혁
"Oh, really? Are you inside?"
???
"Yes, you are. Please come in."
이장혁
"I'm guarding it well so no one can get in."
???
"Yes, sir!"
박무진
"Manager...what the hell do you do..?"
이장혁
"You didn't know me well. I've been a managing director for about two years."
박무진
"What a great kid. I'm surprised I'm even recognizing you now."
이장혁
"Yeah, yeah. Okay, we're all here. Open this and go in. He'll be inside. Our boss."
박무진
"It feels a bit creepy somehow..."
이장혁
"That's because it's underground. Our Daebbang hates sunlight."
박무진
"(Knock knock) Are you there, Chairman?"
.
. .
. . .
Squeak-!
박무진
"Uh...what is it!"
이장혁
"You foolish child. Mujin, don't you feel something is a bit strange? The hideout is underground, I call him 'Dae-bbang' instead of 'President' or 'Chairman', and those guys outside are loyal to me. Don't you think so?"
박무진
"What is that!"
이장혁
“I’ll teach you this just once, so listen carefully, Park Mu-jin.”
이장혁
"This is Young Nation. An organization that operates a large corporation, and I'm the executive director, the organization's head. You could say I'm the boss's right-hand man. Our boss's name is Lee Sang-woon. And...you'll be the leader of Young Nation's operations from now on."
박무진
"An organization... an action leader... what are you talking about!"
이장혁
"In short, you'll be killing people from now on. You're called a leader, but in reality, you're no different from a mutt. If the owner tells you to bite, you'll bite, and if he tells you to kill, you'll kill. That's how you are."
이장혁
"The training will be taken care of by the organization members outside. Don't worry, just wait. The boss will be here soon. Our esteemed savior."
박무진
"What? Can't you open this door right now? You..."
이장혁
"Easy... Mujin, you should think about your wife and the child that's about to be born. We wouldn't just let you work around like that. If you work hard, we could even give you 100 million won a month..."
puck-!
박무진
"Ugh...ugh!!"
이장혁
(whispering) Just shut up and kill me.
박무진
"Ugh... (thud)"
Squeak...
bang-!

영네이션 보스
"Come in"
박무진
"...Boss, the K-organization just robbed the safe again."
영네이션 보스
"Really..? Then what are you doing! Get out there right now!"
박무진
"...But, Boss. The K Organization...is said to use that money to help those in need. ..."

이장혁
"You cheeky brat. How dare you talk back to the boss? Park Mu-jin, you haven't forgotten where your seat is, have you?"
'Honey...what kind of money is this...?'
"I passed the company exam. Now... all that's left is for us to be happy."
"Really? That's a relief, honey..!! Even without that.. Jimin is due soon and I didn't have any money so I was at a loss.. This is really a relief. You worked hard, honey."
'....Jimin is about to be born, but I don't have any money, so I'm at a loss...'
박무진
"...No. Sorry. I'll be dispatched immediately."
영네이션 보스
"Haha! That's right, that's right. Yeah. As expected, there's no one else like you, Director Lee."
이장혁
"Don't be so kind, Boss. I'm sorry I haven't always been more loyal."
영네이션 보스
"Hahaha! You brought Captain Park Mu-jin too. You really are a capable guy. Haha!"
이장혁
"Haha. Thanks, boss."
박무진
"...."
bang-!
박무진
"Just a little... hold on. Just a little. For the sake of my wife and Jimin... just a little."
And so... another sad day passed.
