NO TAIL TO TELL

Anyway…

I WILL GRANT YOUR WISH

…what's this?

Oh, that.

Hey, Woo-seok.

By any chance,

do you have a wish?

A wish?

Why? Are you going to grant it?

No, it's not that. Actually...

It's fine. It's my life, so I'll handle it myself.

I should get going now, Si-yeol.

By the way…

Congrats on the contract renewal.

Hey…

- -

- -

- Hey, Yeon-su. - Si-yeol, we've got a problem.

- Now what? -

What's all the fuss about?

Thames FC is facing relegation.

What on earth are you talking about?

Relegation? We won the league last season.

They're voiding last season's title, stripping us of our Champions League spot,

and relegating us to the Championship.

Is it April Fools' Day?

I'm serious.

Apparently, Thames violated Financial Fair Play regulations,

so UEFA just slapped them with sanctions.

Explain it in simple terms.

What exactly is "Financial Fair Play"?

It's a UEFA rule stating

that a club can't spend more than a certain percentage of its revenue.

I still don't get it.

Basically, the club committed accounting fraud

to cover your transfer fee and massive salary.

So what am I supposed to do now?

Will you play in the second division?

Are you crazy? I'm Kang Si-yeol.

Then there's only one option left.

Kang will be transferring.

In case you've forgotten,

the ink on his contract hasn't even dried yet.

Sir, I'm way too good to be playing in the second division right now.

I should be competing in the Champions League

or at least playing in the Premier League.

Why do you need me?

We will get promoted next season, no matter what.

- - And for that, we need you, Kang.

You really think wasting a year in the second division

is the right move for me?

That's what the contract says.

Like it or not, but you are our player for the next five years.

So stop acting like an amateur.

You already knew something like this

would happen before the renegotiation, didn't you?

That's why you rushed the contract renewal.

Something like this doesn't just happen out of the blue.

You were still under investigation by UEFA and the Premier League

during the contract negotiations.

You tricked us, didn't you?

If you review the contract, you'll see there are no issues.

Our demands are simple.

Stay with the team and play your best, as per the contract.

What the…

KANG SI-YEOL

THAMES FC REFUSES TRANSFER KANG SI-YEOL FACES A MAJOR CRISIS

SECOND DIVISION NEXT FOR KANG SI-YEOL?

THAMES FC CHARGED WITH VIOLATING FFP REGULATIONS

This won't do.

Your passport's at home, right?

I'll have someone bring it over.

Let's head to the airport right now.

I don't think staying in Korea will solve anything.

Okay, find the earliest flight available right now.

What are you doing? Let's hurry.

Yeah, I'm coming.

NOVEMBER 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF GRANDMA'S DEATH

DEACON KIM BOK-SUN MAY SHE REST IN PEACE

Ms. Kim.

It didn't look like Si-yeol would make it again this year, so I came instead.

Gosh, you know how busy he is.

Still, seeing how he timed his return,

it seems like he really meant to come this year.

But something came up,

so he's probably out of the country right now.

Hey, you…

Grandma, I'm here.

Looks like Woo-seok's been coming to see you, Grandma.

He won't even see me these days.

- -

GARDEN OF PEACE MEMORIAL PARK

I know

you looked after my grandma for me,

visiting her every holiday and taking her to the hospital.

That's because you were abroad.

- -

You were there when she passed too.

And you've been bringing her flowers every year on her anniversary.

- - Hey, why are you getting all sappy?

That's the kind of friend you are to me.

You can tell me anything, okay?

If you ever need help, I've got your back.

If you need money, I can give you...

That's why I'm avoiding you right now.

I don't want…

To ask you for favors or borrow money from you.

I want us to stay friends.

Even if you're a Premier League player,

no matter how famous you are,

I want us to be friends for who we are.

But if I start asking you for things or relying on you for help,

I wouldn't be able to see you as a friend anymore.

- Woo-seok... - Let's stop talking about this.

Just think of it

as giving me some space for now.

But seriously,

is it really okay for you to be here?

- -

Actually, my agent's already in the UK.

I said I'd stop by my grandma's grave, then head there right away.

Do you think things will work out?

It doesn't look good right now.

The only option is to meet and convince them,

but neither the chairman nor the coach will see my agent.

- - Jeez, another reporter.

- I'd better go. -

I should go see what I can do.

Hey, wait.

You dropped this.

What is this?

I WILL GRANT YOUR WISH

Are you into this kind of stuff lately?

Isn't this like a cult or something?

Oh, right.

Woo-seok.

I think…

There might be a way.

- -

The player is determined to transfer.

But Thames FC is refusing to negotiate at all.

We offered a 180 million euro transfer fee,

but they reiterated that he isn't for sale.

I WILL GRANT YOUR WISH

Hey, what are you doing? That's dangerous.

I'm pretty sure this is how I was told to do it.

Huh?

Are you okay?

Why isn't it working?

- -

You summoned me sooner than I expected, Si-yeol.

- - Then again, the more humans have,

the greedier they get, and the bigger their worries become.

That's why they always end up needing beings like me.

So, tell me.

What's this great wish of yours?

EPISODE 3 THE RISE AND FALL

THAMES FC, LONDON, UK

Who are you?

That's none of your business.

What did you say?

- -

I heard there's a nice pub nearby.

If you're done for the day, why don't you stop by?
