Original subtitles

- Please leave. - I came...

- I came to meet Mr. Park. - No, please leave.

I came to meet him.

- Who? - Let me go.

I'm sorry. I'll take care of this.

Sorry.

- Mr. Park... - Let's talk outside.

My gosh, will you let go? That hurts.

What do you want?

I came because I really needed to ask you this.

Who do you need to fire to save the company?

How many people do you need to fire?

It seems like you're drunk.

I don't think we can have a rational conversation.

Let's talk tomorrow at work.

Hey!

Are you looking down on us...

because you're currently working for a big corporation?

This is really important to us.

I'll leave you to deal with her.

No, I can't leave. I won't leave.

- I can't leave! - Let's take her outside.

You can't just fire us like this!

How are we supposed to earn a living?

How are we going to get by?

If you come inside one more time, we'll report you to the cops.

(Episode 5)

What am I going to do?

This is crazy.

What...

brings you here all of a sudden?

Come in.

What?

Come inside so we can talk.

Why?

Did you let the bank...

hold our parents' gravesite as collateral to take out a loan?

Jin Shim, let me explain myself.

What?

Lee Sun Shim!

Why are you so fast?

My gosh, Jin Shim.

- I'm sorry, Jin Shim! - Get over here!

Jin Shim! I'm sorry!

I'm really sorry!

What? What did you say?

You used that money to buy your company's stocks?

With the loan you took out using the register you stole?

You spent the entire 150,000 dollars?

Are you serious? I...

I even canceled my installment savings and gave you 30,000 dollars.

Was that not enough?

You took out a loan on our parents' gravesite.

How can you put up their gravesite as collateral?

Are you kidding me?

Jin Shim, I'm so sorry. It was a terrible thing to do.

Save it.

Save the apologies.

Sell the shares, pay back the loan,

and get the site back in one piece.

You know,

I've been trying really hard,

but I can't do that right now.

What's so hard about it?

Just sell the shares and get back the cash.

Come on. Please say something.

All you have to do is sell the shares, right?

Jin Shim...

I can't get the cash.

I can't sell the shares.

Why not?

Are they at a lower price compared to when you bought them?

Come on.

It's not like the company went under and they're worth nothing.

It didn't completely go under but...

Sun Shim!

I said I'm sorry. I'm regretting it too, you know.

Seriously? You regret it?

Why do something you'll only regret?

You're out of your mind. If you can't pay back the loan...

and we lose the site,

you're going to die in my hands.

You idiot. You moron!

I wouldn't let anything happen to the gravesite.

I'm trying my best even as we speak.

How? In what way? What have you been doing?

I'm running left and right in order to save the company.

I'm its president, I sold the vacuums,

and I save it from going bankrupt.

Hold on.

What did I just hear? You're the company president?

The company president? You?

But... Jin Shim...

The former company president is in the wind.

There aren't many left at the company anymore,

and since I'm a shareholder,

they told me to be the next company president.

But...

I couldn't let the company go under...

because my shares would be worth nothing,

so I've been working my butt off to save it.

Truth be told,

I want to run away but I can't.

I want to die, but I can't do that either.

I've been doing everything I can...

so that I can pay back your savings and the loan.

What now?

Mom!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Mom, oh no.

What are we going to do with you?

Mom, what am I going to do with her?

Mom...

Did you think life was that easy?

You vain little girl, is that what you thought?

Why didn't you think...

about working hard and earning money the proper way?

But Jin Shim,

no matter how hard I work,

I'd never be able to buy a house of my own.

Don't you get why youngsters are giving up on their futures?

Our generation has no hope.

Don't make excuses.

Your greed got you in this mess, so take responsibility for it.

Don't run away from this,

don't give up, and do whatever you can...

to pay back the loan...

and my 30,000 dollars.

Got it?

Before you do,

don't think about seeing me again.

Jin Shim.

But Jin Shim...

You're all I have.

Hey.

Ji Na, did you make sure to bring the contract and the seal?

Gosh, stop asking me that.

We should at least receive 10 million dollars.

It's best to sell it when we can.

Hey, he must be here.

Hello?

Sir, over here.

I'm sorry but where's your boss?

I'm afraid he's backing out from the purchase deal.

Why?

We looked into it and you're not the president...

of Cheongil Electronics anymore.

That can't be.

Who is it then?

Let me see.

Lee Sun Shim.

- Lee Sun Shim? - Lee Sun...

Miss Lee?

Miss Lee?

Why her?

I'll explain everything to your boss face to face.

He doesn't want to meet you.

He's actually considering about pressing charges of fraud...

since you tried to sell him a company that isn't even yours.

Goodbye then.

What do you mean by fraud? Hey!

Fraud? I'm not a con man.

- Sir, please calm down. - That...

Please calm down and have a seat.

- What... - Please sit.

What on earth is going on?

What...

Why can't I sell my own company?

What is going on?

I didn't know that she had already...

registered herself as the president.

Darn it.

Sir, what are you going to do?

Gosh.

There's no use sitting around here, so let's go.

Come on.

What...

Are you all right?

Let's go...

Oh my.

- What's wrong with me? - Watch your step.

Oh, no.

Gosh.

I think I just spotted Mr. Oh.

Can you look into it?

No body was found and he's not the type to die easily.

I'll call you once I know something.

Sure.

Mr. Oh's alive?

Sir, are you all right?

We'll only draw attention if we stick together,

so it'll be more dangerous.

I think it'll be best if we part ways for the time being.

Look after yourself, all right? I'll get going then.

I'll call you, so don't forget your medicine.

Are you all right?

Don't run away from this,

don't give up,

and do whatever you can to pay back the loan...

and my 30,000 dollars.

(Statement of Facts)

Mr. Park.

I'm sorry...

about last night.

What is this?

They're statements of facts the subcontractors wrote.

They said Mr. Yoo was picky and made things tough,

but it increased the quality of the goods and their efficiency.

They also said there were no...

corruption or unfair treatment in any way.

The company presidents signed and put their seals on them.

If you need, you can meet them directly.

What about it?

Mr. Yoo was made the frontrunner for being laid off...

based on unfair treatment and corruption that weren't confirmed.

I'd like you to cancel it.

Was Mr. Yoo made the frontrunner for being laid off...

based on unfair treatment and corruption?

I didn't know that.

That's what I heard.

Is that not true?

It is not.

Then...

What is this?

I...

Why are you doing useless things?

It was useful...

It isn't useful at all,

so get your act together and just do your job.

Hey, Kwang Soo.

Yes, it just happened.

Your company?

Well...

thanks for the thought,

but let's chat later.

Okay.

(Mr. Oh)

The number you dial does not exist.

Please check the number and try again.

Mr. Yoo.

Yes?

May we speak?

- Mr. Yoo. What did Mr. Park say? - None of your business.

Sir.

I said to just do your job.

Okay.

- Hey. - Hello.

Have you heard from your father yet?

Don't tell anyone that I'm alive.

I have too many charges against me.

I'll go to jail then. Remember that.

No.

If you do reach him, tell him to call me.

Here's my number.

In case he lost his cell phone.

See you later.

Let's take a cab.

My car's in the shop.

Why? What's wrong with it?

It's just for maintenance.

- Give me that. - It's okay.

Give me that.

Ta-da.

Is it a gift for being discharged? It's pretty.

Watch out.

Should I go to Jin Soo's wedding by myself?

Why? We should go together.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

You must be exhausted.

Why? I didn't do anything.

The hospital bill.

I said not to worry about it.

I'll take care of it.

Should we take a trip to celebrate your discharge?

I bought some land.

You bought what?

Some land.

Guess its name.

Handsomeland.

Handsomeland?

Seriously.

Then are all the trees there beautreeful?

How did you know?

Seriously. You've gotten better.

Get in.

Thank you.

Hey. Did you go somewhere?

You weren't at your desk.

What brings you here?

I needed to talk to you about something.

Go ahead.

Is Mr. Oh doing well?

He's alive, right?

Where is he?

I have absolutely no idea.

I think he's in grave danger right now,

so I wanted to help him.

What can I do if you don't know?

I'll let you work.

Hello.

Did he go somewhere?

The guest checked out.

I see.

I'm here.

Okay. Make a right?

(My son)

This guy wants you to call him.

(Yoo Jin Wook)

My gosh, that startled me.

Haven't you heard from Mr. Oh yet?

No, not yet.

I hope he's okay. I'm worried.

I'm sure he's fine.

Mr. Oh isn't that weak.

Yes, you're right. I'm sure he'll come back.

We should get going now.

- Let's go. - Okay.

What about the car? Is it still getting repaired?

Well...

That car has so many problems.

I think we should just sell it.

Really?

That car really grew on me.

Let's just take cabs until we get a new car. Let's go.

Eun Hye, over here.

- Hello. - Welcome.

I didn't know this when you guys were young, but I just noticed...

that Hyung Suk and Eun Hye look very similar.

Hyung Suk looks just like his father.

And Eun Hye looks just like her mother.

His dad and her mom looked similar. It's like they were siblings.

Really?

Yes.

I guess you're right.

Mr. Song.

Do you think it's okay to leave Sun Shim like that?

What do you mean?

We were all drunk...

and picked her as the president by spinning a soju bottle.

To be honest, we kind of put her in a pickle.

Well...

She volunteered as well.

Well, yes. But no one knew...

that things would come this far.

I'm pretty sure Sun Shim didn't know either.

She probably thought it'd be temporary...

just until we sold all the vacuum cleaners.

What's wrong? Do you pity her?

- Yes. - Then you should take her place.

I can't do that.

Exactly.

What else can we do?

This is just her fate.

Hello?

Hey.

Gosh, come on.

It's not like I'm not paying you when I have a lot of money.

Our company's about to go bankrupt.

And people might get fired.

Honey. Honey.

I really don't know what to do now. Why don't you just sell me instead?

Did you really cancel the wedding hall reservation?

Can we meet up and talk?

Mr. Myung.

Yes?

When are you going to hand in the report?

Hey, is this really the best you can do?

How long are you going to live so pathetically?

Get to your senses!

I'm sorry.

Rewrite it.

(Incoming call)

Hello?

Jin Wook, it's me.

How have you been?

I went to the Han River to die.

But just as I was about to jump off,

I suddenly felt so upset.

And I couldn't stop thinking about my son.

My panic disorder got worse,

so I've just been laying low.

You should've called me.

What good would that have done? Things were a mess.

Jin Wook.

Why did I end up this way?

All I did was work really hard.

But I failed to manage my own company.

I got betrayed by my own employees.

And I even failed to be a good father.

I lived a terrible life, didn't I?

It's not over yet.

What you thought was a cave end up being a tunnel.

That's what you said life was.

Why don't we get a glass of beer?

I know a good place nearby.

A bottle of soju, please.

Guys, go ahead. I'll catch up.

Sun Shim...

Mr. Oh?

He's alive?

He's alive?

A shocking twist.

He faked his own death?

(Miss Lee)

Mr. Yoo, are you with Mr. Oh right now?

No.

So you parted ways.

How did you get to meet up with Mr. Oh?

How else?

He called, so we met.

What did Mr. Oh say?

What is he going to do?

I don't know. Good night.

(Choi Young Ja)

(Song Young Hoon)

Sir.

I only did what you asked,

so why am I being reprimanded?

What are you talking about?

In order to meet our goals,

we wrote up the suggested costs for our subcontractors...

by fabricated the receipts.

I only did what you ordered me to do.

What did I order you?

You committed a crime to make it look like you produced results.

Sir...

I understand you're in a tough spot.

I will take responsibility if that's what you ask me to do.

I will let the company punish me to cut off loose ends.

But sir...

Let go of me.

All I did...

was work hard by putting my trust in you...

and this is what I get?

So...

that jerk has been alive all this time?

Isn't it great that he's alive though?

Yes, of course,

but that's not all.

How can he do this to us?

How can one be so selfish and coy?

He faked his own death and disappeared on us.

Tell me about it. Who knew there would be a twist?

Shocking, wasn't it?

What scheme...

were he and Mr. Yoo cooking up at that late hour?

Maybe they were discussing a way to save the company.

Miss Lee, from what I can gather,

your brain isn't functioning.

Can't you grasp what's going on?

If they were willing to do that,

they wouldn't have left us in this state.

Is it possible...

that Mr. Oh deliberately planned...

on ruining the company?

You know,

deliberate bankruptcy.

Deliberate bankruptcy?

So after taking all the money he can,

he deliberately drove the company in the ground.

He let the remaining people take the responsibility...

- and disappeared. - That's right. Also,

Mr. Yoo is in on it.

That's a reasonable scenario.

- No way. - Hold on a second.

When we spun the bottle and it landed on Miss Lee,

Mr. Yoo stopped protesting which I found quite odd.

He's not that kind of person.

Right? Also,

he secretly met with Mr. Oh whom we all thought was dead.

How can you explain that?

They could've met by chance.

As if.

This isn't a movie, you know.

Ji Han,

did you pick up on their conversation?

No, I was with friends, so I couldn't stay.

Still, it seemed quite serious.

- Serious? - Yes.

They were probably talking about selling the company.

Mr. Oh and Mr. Yoo wouldn't do such a thing.

Have you forgotten about how Koo Ji Na played you?

Tut-tut.

Why would you believe in people when you were betrayed by a friend?

How many times do you need to be stabbed in the back?

Then, what would be the next step?

Mr. Yoo will quit.

- What? - And...

he and Mr. Oh start a new company.

It seems just about right.

Then we'll be doomed.

Mr. Yoo...

- Mr. Yoo... - What about him?

Is he quitting?

- Yes! - What?

Really?

I overheard him talking to Mr. Park Do Joon.

Mr. Yoo's quitting the company.

What did I tell you?

Right?

Gosh.

- Mr. Yoo! - What?

- Do you have something to say? - Are you really...

- quitting the company? - Yes.

So you're quitting.

Right.

Tell us the reason.

I have plans.

Do you think I'm doing this because I have nothing else to do?

The company you devoted your youth to is in ruins.

How can you abandon it and leave?

Have some loyalty.

Loyalty doesn't put food on the table.

You know that all the good workers are gone,

and only scrubs with nowhere to go are all we have left.

So what? You don't care what happens to the company...

as long as you save yourself, is that it?

I have to at least save myself.

What a...

That jerk.

He's showing his true colors.

Of all the...

So that's the kind of person he was.

He's making me want to swear.

Ma'am.

If Mr. Yoo leaves like this,

what happens to us?

Whatever.

You're the president. You figure it out.

You figure it out.

Ma'am.

I hear you've been meeting with Mr. Oh.

I mean,

shouldn't we know what the two of you are planning?

So? What's the plan for the company?

Do you plan to sell it?

We're just meeting up personally.

The president is on the run after wrecking the company,

and you met him personally, unrelated to the company?

Why aren't you saying anything?

What could he possibly say?

He says loyalty doesn't put food on the table, so he'll save himself.

To think,

I served him for all those years...

because he was my superior!

I...

Darn it. Out of my way!

(Mr. Myung In Ho)

Mr. Yoo left the company.

Stop the bus! I need to get off.

What happened?

(Letter of Resignation)

How could he do this?

Exactly.

He didn't even say bye.

Did he flee in the middle of the night? Did he pass on his work?

Well, he did hand over his work...

to me, but...

He handed it over you?

You? Why?

My gosh.

He turned his back on the company and left. Why would he care?

I saw.

Yoo Jin Wook left the company yesterday.

Okay.

We just have to lend a helping hand.

Come in.

Sir.

We've located Oh Man Bok.

He met with an employee of Cheongil.

He's the head of sales. He left the company yesterday.

Have you heard from the president of Seongwoo yet?

No.

Is he holding off to acquire it at the cheapest possible price?

I think so.

We should let them do what they want.

It would be a waste to let Cheongil die.

But we're not in any position to find another company...

to acquire it.

It's no loss for us.

Yes, that's right.

Cheongil is in disarray right now already,

and now the core talent, the head of sales, left.

It won't take long for a tiny company like that to crumble.

And whether or not Oh Man Bok is alive,

there's nothing he can do.

That's right.

(Cheongil Electronics)

Mr. Oh.

Please return to the company.

What? I can't go back.

How can I deal with the ramifications?

But that's the best option...

for both you and the company.

Why that little... Hey, you! Oh Man Bok!

You jerk. How dare you come here?

That weasel. Stop right there!

- Stop! - What's wrong with you?

Hey, come on. What is wrong with you?

You should've called me if you were alive.

I've been working here for 20 years. How could you betray me like this?

How could you do this to me? How?

Hey, I didn't betray you.

- Young Ja. - Yes?

Did you have feelings for me?

Mr. Oh!

Will you stop yelling at me?

You're giving me a headache.

How did you have the guts...

to show up after having made the company go bankrupt?

Did you want to know how things were going?

- Hey, Young Ja. - What?

Are you seriously going to be like this?

Hey, come on. You're really driving me crazy here.

The only problem here is that I was the president of a vendor...

and that I worked really hard!

What about us? We worked here because we trusted you!

We're the ones who are going crazy here!

- That's why Mr. Yoo... - What about Mr. Yoo?

He told me to come back and take responsibility of the company.

That's why I came back.

But I don't think there's anything I can do right now.

Looking at the company makes me get suffocated.

And my heart keeps beating like crazy.

No, it's like I'm having a heart attack.

So where are you staying these days?

In a container box that's at my friend's factory.

Hey.

Yes, it's me.

Sir, you should wait a little more.

I think you could buy it at a really cheap price.

Really?

- How? - We'll corner Cheongil...

and make the company become worthless.

And that's when I should buy it?

Yes, that's right.

Mr. Oh ended up in this state because he got on our bad side.

But Cheongil has a lot of patents and good manufacturing skills.

It's a pretty profitable company.

Yes, I know that very well. We're also paying them...

to use some of the stuff they've patented.

You can take over Cheongil for pretty much nothing.

Then TM will give you a lot of work.

And once your company becomes a listed company,

its value will increase exponentially.

And we'll make a huge amount of money.

Sir.

Don't you think you owe me a bit more of your company's stocks?

Let's meet up and talk about it.

Okay, let's do that.

I'll call you.

Mr. Yoo?

Hey, listen up.

People will think we really went bankrupt...

if you tell them that Mr. Yoo quit.

And that will only make our subcontractors get nervous.

So make sure you tell them that he's outside meeting a client.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?

My gosh.

Yes, this is Cheongil Electronics.

What? Mr. Yoo?

He's outside meeting a client.

What do you need to talk to him for?

Which one are you talking about?

Oh, okay. Just a second.

Yes, this is Cheongil Electronics.

Mr. Yoo is outside meeting a client.

Yes, I'll look into it and call you back.

Okay, bye.

Here you go. It's the expense report you asked for yesterday.

Oh, thanks.

And as for Mr. Yoo,

you're the one who fired him, right?

Mr. Park, you might think you're saving our company...

by trying to decrease our deficit, but that's not the case.

Will you look outside?

- You're only making things worse... - Let's drop that subject.

Mr. Yoo left...

Mr. Yoo left because he wanted to.

What?

What are you talking about?

Why would Mr. Yoo...

I'll just cut to the chase.

I'll leave the company. Let's settle it at that.

I'll quit.

So let the others continue to work here.

Don't you think you're being too irresponsible?

I'm not exactly in the place...

to consider my responsibility for the company.

Mr. Yoo.

And I'm sick of watching you...

behave so arrogantly.

(Miss Lee)

He sacrificed himself for the other employees?

Does that mean no one else is going to get fired?

Are you saying we should let this go?

Why can't we take more orders?

We're not capable of receiving additional orders.

We're not in the position to tell TM that we can't do it.

Do you not see this? How can you say that?

- Why are you taking it out on me? - What is wrong with you?

We would've been able to solve this if Mr. Yoo was here.

You'll be hired as a director. We'll achieve great things together.

I'm not going to accept Mr. Yoo's resignation letter.

Just forget about trying to fire people.

Is Mr. Yoo even willing to return?
