Original subtitles

Mr. Kim Seong-ryong?

That's me. Who are you?

I'm from Gangnam Police Station.

You are under arrest for tax evasion and document forgery charges.

What in the world are you talking about?

Let go, mister!

Let me go!

What are you going on about, coming out of nowhere!

-You have the right to an attorney... -Hey!

...refuse to testify against yourself.

Let go, damn it!

Something must be wrong!

This is a mistake!

Um...

-The new manager? -Yes.

I wanted to check if you knew anything about this.

No.

I don't know.

It reminded me of Manager Lee.

I'm worried that something bad is happening again.

I'll look into what happened today.

And the new manager, too.

Okay. Thank you, ma'am.

Hee-jin.

The long-term mortgage loan. How did it change after 2011?

It's so confusing.

I told you all about it a while ago!

Yes, I manage the tax adjustments,

but Finance takes care of the other thing.

Yes. Okay. Have a good day!

This is Seon from Accounting.

The National Tax Service handles the year-end tax adjustments.

Hey, everyone knows that!

That's why it's called Tax Service!

Oh, I sent it to your e-mail. So check your inbox, please.

Yes, it's done.

-Hey, tell him to come down. -You should come here.

-The file you wanted. -We have to finish it by 28th.

-Okay? -Yes, sir.

Why do they have to yell when they can always talk nicely?

Where is this guy in this busy hour?

-Go look for him. -Mr. Choo.

What?

-Um, he left work early. -What was that?

He said his friend was in trouble and had to go somewhere in a hurry.

Friend?

That sounds more ridiculous than Bill Gates getting a loan.

Are you saying he left work for a friend in this state of emergency?

The guy must be in la-la land!

-Come on! Someone call him! -Call him!

-Call him! -Call him, Sang-tae.

-I have work to do. -God, this is killing me!

It's a ledger from the accountant who is working for Deok-po Industries.

TRANSACTION DETAILS TAX INVOICE

ACCOUNT TRANSFER

This is why I tried to stop him!

How am I related?

You cooked up the double-entry ledger and handed it over to the accountant.

No, I didn't.

I don't know anything about this. I'm telling you!

Playing dumb is not enough.

You're off to Gunsan Prosecutors' Office.

Let's see if you can keep playing dumb over there.

Yes.

I'm here to take Kim Seong-ryong.

-Noodle's ready! -People, let's eat first.

Mr. Choo. I'll come back soon.

-Why don't you eat first? -That's okay. You go ahead.

Ow, it's so hot! I need a trivet!

Here it is, step aside!

My hands!

-Wow, this looks good! -Enjoy, everyone.

Let's eat.

-I'm tired of looking at him. -Wow.

-There's plenty. Slow down. -Okay!

-Isn't it hot? -No, it's not.

This guy turns into a monster with food in front of him.

Dear god, you have a problem!

Mr. Kim has a problem, too.

Even part-timers wouldn't leave work like him.

The guy lacks common sense. What do you think?

You better stop speaking informally to me.

I think it's understandable if a close friend is in trouble.

He is a good man.

Hey, so what?

If he is a good man, he should be more sensible, right?

So true. No matter how good he is, this is just absurd.

Guys!

If you keep badmouthing people behind their backs,

it feels good!

What is this?

Bad smell...

Don't you know cooking's prohibited?

Actually, we...

We missed lunch because there was too much work.

Would you like some?

-Some of what? -Noodles.

You are a bunch of lazy people.

GOD OF DISTRIBUTION

Oh, my...

How!

How can you defile the chairman's face?

Sang-tae, buy a big-sized trivet on your way to work tomorrow.

Um, to be honest, I suggested eating cup noodles...

But if we flip the book like this...

That is brilliant!

Excuse me!

Out with the angry face!

Did you say Gunsan?

Yes. His case falls under their jurisdiction.

Is he really under those charges?

Of course.

May I ask why your company hired Kim Seong-ryong?

Why do you ask that?

He is a real mess.

He was investigated every year for tax evasion and accounting fraud.

Every year?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER ENJOY WIRETAPPING!

Can I help you?

Hello, I'm an intern from Finance Department.

Hong Ka-eun.

Um, I came here to see Manager Kim Seong-ryong.

He got off work early for personal reasons.

Why do you need him?

Oh, okay. I wanted to give this to him.

That's his desk. You can leave it there.

Oh! It's okay!

I'll come back when he's here.

Goodbye, ma'am.

-Goodbye, everyone! -Bye.

What was that?

That prick must have been flirting here and there.

I say he's like a flytrap.

This is not Gunsan. It's not a service area either.

Shut it.

They don't have walnut cakes here, do they?

Doesn't look like a coffee shop to me.

Why are you putting on a pair of leather gloves?

I'll only take yes or no for an answer.

Double-entry ledger, did you write it?

-No! -This is your last chance.

Did you write it?

You must have forgotten what age we're living in...

-I'll collect the completed files! -Here, finally done!

-I'm done, too! -The finishing blow!

Wow, guys. You've done well!

-Is that it? -Yes!

There's no overtime tonight.

For real? Hooray!

No overtime?

-Did you all hear that? -Yes, I'm so excited.

Excited!

Do you know that we worked nights for three whole weeks?

Three whole weeks!

I'm going to buy a yellow tail sashimi on my way home and have it with soju!

-Mr. Choo. -Soju...

Could I have a word with you?

Why am I sensing dark energy?

Let's go clubbing!

Please stop, for god's sake.

Are you up?

You're not tough. One punch and you got knocked out.

What happened today... Was that all your plan?

My fellow prosecutor in Gunsan...

Why does he struggle with catching clumsy guys like you?

You simply have to check the guy who took over your work.

Whether it be an accountant or a tax accountant,

it's so obvious that they would have all the ledgers you sent.

Ta-da?

What's wrong? Is it nice to see your old books?

-Why do you have... -The prosecutor effect doesn't wear off.

Even though I'd already quit the job, finding this stuff was too easy.

Darn it.

Hey, you try it.

-Don't let it fall. -Why should I do it?

Just try it!

If you win against me, I'll drop all your charges.

No one else knows about these books.

There is only an anonymous tip.

So all you have to do is win and get rid of these books.

Go ahead. How simple is this?

You win, no charges.

God, you're taking so long.

What the hell! You told me to do it!

Did you think you have something on me?

Did you think I was easy like the guys back in Gunsan?

Obviously, I was going too soft on you!

If you're mad about yesterday, you have completely misunderstood me.

All I did yesterday was tell you the truth,

exactly the same way the drunk driver had told me.

You still talk crap.

Want a few more punches?

Did you go through all this trouble just because I made you mad?

You haven't seen trouble yet.

This is just the start.

-Did you send the mail to Seoan Jangryong? -Yes.

The e-mail included Manager Lee's rumor and his wife's interview footage.

-Can I expect no trouble? -Yes, ma'am.

It will be traced back to an anonymous sender in Busan.

We made the investment possible. We can't let Seo simply sign the contract.

Of course. We can't let him take away what we have been working hard for.

I feel sorry for the chairman,

but our pride comes first.

These are like Sun Wukong's golden circlet.

Defy me again and these will not only strangle you,

but blow your head up.

Director.

How should I behave from now on?

Be extra careful. Don't get cocky.

Shut up and do your best to do as you're told.

If you do a good job,

I might destroy these books.

Wow, these books are something!

They have the power to change a reckless idiot like you.

Then I'll settle for Bae Deok-po. I'll just find another reason.

-I have a favor to ask, sir. -What is it?

I worked with a girl named Kwang-sook. Please leave her out of this.

Wow, he is loyal!

Okay. That's all.

Thank you, sir.

Now, should we put a classic ending to all this, then?

I know this might be a bit old-school.

Kneel.

Huh?

Kneel and...

I will not get smart and do my best!

Say it.

God, are you serious?

I guess you're a slow learner.

I will not get smart and do my best.

Good boy. Right?

Seong-ryong!

Hey, Kim Seong-ryong!

Have some fear, man.

Fearless men live short,

and those full of fear, live long.

What's up with you? You never asked that before.

I need to know now.

How twisted is this company?

If this is about Lee, just let it go.

How can I do that?

Did you let it go already?

Let's say that we found out that something is wrong about this.

What can we do?

There will be something we can do if we know what's going on.

Don't let your emotion drive you.

Think about it realistically with a cold head.

The things happening up above the clouds are irrelevant to the world we live in.

Our department is at the very bottom. We are basically servants.

Even so, we have to give a shout if we find out something is wrong.

Ha-kyung.

Did you know?

They say that the quacks of a duck never echoes.

No matter how loud.

We are just a bunch of ducks.

They feed us, we give them eggs.

All we have to do is float on the water like nothing's wrong.

That's the story of our lives.

Why is it so hard to go there, huh?

Why do I have to become the worst version of me for you?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Are you saying that all this disaster was caused by that director?

-Yeah. -Oh, my god.

How can the Mr. Kim I know get wasted by that young prick?

Hey, I wasn't wasted. If he wasn't my boss,

I would have ground him.

I can't stop thinking that you don't belong there.

You're in a different world!

But I have to skim some money. I was lucky to come in here.

Lucky?

Mr. Kim.

-Did you watch Titanic? -Yes, I did. What about it?

Do you know who the luckiest character in that movie is?

-The last person to get on a lifeboat? -Wrong!

It's the one in the beginning of the movie,

who loses a card game and gives his ticket to Leonardo DiCaprio.

In other words,

the one who didn't get on.

Come on.

That was my treat. Don't spew it all out!

Gosh...

I'm okay. Hey! I'm okay.

-I'm okay. -Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Hey.

Do you...

Do you know when TQ started to become a big mess?

Are you telling me, then?

When was this turning point?

When Chairman Park

drove out his CEO wife and took over the control of the company.

He took over?

I thought she gave it up.

You may be smart and all, but you lack experience!

Chairman Park

told the board members about his wife's sickness.

So she had no choice but to leave.

Um...

By the way, what's the name of the CEO's sickness?

Nobody knows.

But it must be serious.

Anyway, that's when TQ became a mess.

But TQ's business performance is not bad at all.

It operates in the black and gets good audit reports.

Not bad at all, my ass.

From March 2011 to now, for six years in a row,

it's been losing tons of money.

Wait.

But what about the audit and all the investments?

They're cooked.

Our financial reports are cooked.

So our company is tampering with its accounts...

You have to stop here. If you know more, you'll get hurt.

This is top secret.

Man, I'd love my daughter to grow up like you.

Hey, taxi's here.

I'll get going, okay? Taxi!

-To Gwacheon! -Mr. Choo...

Titanic...

But I can't get off the ship right now.

I need a plan to get away from this in one fell swoop.

What should I do...

-Did you hear the news? -What news?

Choi from Sales Management.

He got drunk during the office dinner and beat his boss up.

Really?

How bad was it?

His forehead was torn and cheekbone bashed in.

That's serious!

-What's going to happen? -What do you think?

Like you said, it's serious. So he might get fired.

No way!

Getting fired, huh?

Fired!

Washing your hair again?

-Washing my hands. -Yeah, I see.

Lots of people wash their hair here and the pipe often gets clogged.

I don't recognize you. You are?

-The new guy in Accounting. -Oh, you replaced Manager Lee Eun-seok.

The name's Kim Seong-ryong.

That Manager Lee was the kindest guy in the world.

Oh, I am TQ Group's Cleaning Service...

Team One Leader, Ms. Eom Geum-sim.

-Did I tell you before? -Yes.

-So glad to meet you. -My hand is wet.

-No worries. -Don't slap me in the back.

I won't if you behave.

Your pants are unzipped.

What a polite young man. Toodles!

I can't believe that joke is not extinct.

Are you kidding me?

Don't you know how to do tax adjustments?

Do you know how many errors you've made?

Sorry, sir. We were short-handed yesterday...

Don't give me that excuse again! God damn it!

To pay wages to you Accounting idiots is a complete waste.

Earn it, for god's sake!

Strictly speaking, this is not our fault alone.

-What? -Yoon!

Computer Management Team should've restored the program quickly.

Blaming the others again, are you?

You guys shouldn't make errors under any circumstances!

You all have a head and a pair of hands. Are those all for show?

Since when do you guys rely on computers to get things done?

We're sorry, sir. We'll do better next time!

Yoon. Keep up that attitude.

Goodbye, sir.

What's this?

Did you just get here?

We wouldn't have got scolded if we had one more guy yesterday, right?

-My head and hands were for show. -Take this.

Okay.

-Good morning, sir. -Yes, hi.

Kim.

Yes?

Come here.

What the hell was that yesterday?

-How could you? -Sir, it's not what you think.

-What happened was... -Whatever it was!

Leaving early without notice? You should quit!

-Leaving early? -What do you call it then?

No matter how dear your friend is, you can't leave office without telling me!

Man, this is driving me crazy!

I think I'm feeling numb.

Thanks for not telling.

Yeah, whatever.

Who are you exactly?

Me? Manager Kim.

I heard you were investigated in Gunsan every year.

Did you look into my background?

A colleague in my department was arrested in front of me like a movie.

What's more, under tax evasion and forgery charges.

I have no choice but to look into your background.

Then you should know that all my charges were dropped.

They would never investigate a decent person every year.

God, I can't believe you think I'm a criminal.

I only think so because of your actions.

Then why didn't you tell on me? Isn't that because you trust me?

Yes. I did trust you for a moment.

Because you reminded me of Manager Lee.

I thought that you might have been framed for something you didn't do.

-But now you think otherwise. -Yes.

I'm going to fix my eyes on you and what you do.

Stay awake.

Mr. Kim!

Hello!

Hello!

Oh, you! Um...

Intern Hong Ka-eun from Finance.

That's right. What can I do for you?

This is a gift of apology for the last time.

I am sorry.

This really isn't necessary.

You can open it.

-I'll take it home. -No!

Please put it here on your desk.

Isn't that up to me?

Just put it there.

She must want it to remind you of her.

Right?

-That's not what I meant. -Yeah, right.

Well, what is it, anyway? Open it.

-What is this? -It's a piggy bank.

So you can put your coins in while you are at the office.

Wow, what a trifling stuff to have.

How do you two know each other?

Oh, I actually hit Mr. Kim down below.

Down... What?

Down below?

Down below?

You said that in a very weird way. That's not what...

Quiet!

By down below, are you referring to you-know-where?

Yes, the balls.

Balls...

Why would you hit him in the balls? It's not like they are bells.

I was daydreaming,

-and accidentally poked him. -Why would you poke his balls?

You don't often do that!

Excuse me. That's not what this is...

Be quiet, I told you! Hush!

Aren't you two behaving too freely in the workplace?

Thanks, anyway. I have to go now.

-Oh, then I'll go, too. -What? Don't follow me.

-This isn't what it looks like. -Wait up! Goodbye, everyone!

Be careful with your down below. Don't go flirting around.

Um, Mr. Choo?

I sense the dark energy again.

I said that yesterday?

Yes.

The start of the big mess. How the chairman got the job.

And about TQ's accounting fraud.

No way. It must have been the alcohol talking.

I don't even remember.

I don't think so. You even talked about your affair.

No, I didn't...

How much did I say?

Did I say that my wife nearly caught me going to the motel?

No, you didn't.

Why do I say these things when I am drunk?

I can't control it!

Come on, Mr. Choo! Just tell me one more thing.

What the heck.

First of all,

Chairman has three people by his side who constantly feeds him ideas.

They are the evil guys.

Also known as the Door Lock Trio.

Managing Director Cho, Head of Division Go,

and the new director of finance, Seo Yul.

-Director Seo Yul? -Yeah.

He used to be a famous prosecutor, specialized in financial crimes.

Why do you think he's here?

He knows how to set a perfect stage without getting caught.

That means the accounting fraud is going to get more active and elaborate.

Yes.

It will look better on the outside but more rotten on the inside.

SEOAN JANGRYONG CORPORATE INVESTIGATION REPORT

We start cooking books for due diligence when the settlement is over.

How much are they investing?

I want to know too. The actual amount is unknown.

It's 450 million yuans.

That is equivalent to...

It's 78,079 billion wons.

Are you a math whiz? Fill him in.

The due diligence of Seoan Jangryong is more fastidious than any other audit.

If we fail to prepare for it perfectly, that 78 billion will be gone.

What am I to do?

Make all supporting documents needed to back up the cooked accounts.

Are you asking me to make all the statements and documents...

We're not talking one to two hundred pages.

You're telling me to make the Tripitaka Koreana by myself!

I don't care if you have to make two of them.

Okay.

Why don't you tell me to make the Bible and the Quran while I'm at it?

I have to get off this ship as soon as possible.

These are the model candidates for TQ Department Store.

What the hell is this?

None of them attract attention.

Forget about them. What about Na Seong-ran?

She's being accused of marijuana usage, often causes scandals,

and most of all, she is not fit for our brand image.

Well, I think she's okay.

She is playful, good-tempered and glamorous as well.

I think local commercials suit her better than the mainstream...

Are you saying I have shitty eyes?

I didn't think so.

I'll let the head of division know that Na was chosen.

SEO YUL

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE

He looks familiar.

Where have I seen him?

-Excuse me. -Yeah?

-Are you waiting? -Oh, no.

ACCOUNTING DEPT

EXPENSES PARK MYEONG-SEOK

CROWN NIGHT SECRET HOTEL

Seo Yul.

Let's see if you can beat me again this time.

RESUME KIM SEONG-RYONG

FOUR TAX-RELATED CHARGES INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

He broke the law at his previous work.

That's why he was taken in yesterday.

How can a man like him become a TQ employee?

Because Seo Yul chose him to do the dirty jobs,

that Manager Lee used to do.

Seo must have got him out yesterday.

Um, but...

Why is Chairman Park using his aides to fabricate the accounts?

To keep his control over the company.

Since you're a major stockholder,

you could tell the board members and the Prosecutors' Office.

To convince the shareholders and go to the prosecutors,

we need hard proof.

Soon, they will start fabricating the accounts meticulously

to pass the due diligence of Seoan Jangryong.

In the process, they will drop pieces of evidence.

Manager Kim is much more cunning and vile than you think.

Keep an eye on him.

This is our chance to acquire evidence.

Hey, are you out of your mind?

Did you really think it was acceptable to choose the model like you did?

This is the girl you brought to church for the remembrance service, is she?

I don't know what your mom was thinking

when she gave you the position.

They say that having responsibility makes you a better person, but not you!

Don't use your head. Don't make any decisions!

Don't do anything.

You're only good for this company when you do nothing!

-No, Dad. I'll change the model... -Don't, just don't!

You hear me?

I will never care about what you do from now on.

Just don't mess with the business!

What's wrong?

Did our son make a mistake?

No.

We were talking about PR Division.

-Go and have some rest. -Okay.

You're unwell.

Where have you been this late?

I went out for some air and met my friends.

-I'll go take a rest. -Okay.

Remember to fill your fund journals every day, people.

Yes, sir.

Anything else to talk about?

Someone else should take care of the executives' expenses.

Why are you bringing that up again?

Okay, everyone relax. Let's not pick a fight and talk in peace.

If the others have too much work, I will do it myself.

How can an assistant manager tell the manager what to do?

This isn't about ranks. It's about transparency in our work.

Transparency? Thanks for bringing that up.

Was that the norm here?

No, you just granted everything. Why do you demand transparency now?

Can you do it, then? Can you make it transparent?

-Hey! -Oh, Mr. Park!

-Hi, sir. -Damn it.

You are still messing with me, huh?

Mr. Park...

-What's the issue today? -"What's the issue today?"

Okay, let's see. The issue...

Here's the issue!

I've had it. Who is it?

Tell me who rejected my request before I blow this place up!

-Is it you? Huh? -No, sir!

-Did you do it? -No, I didn't.

-You, then? -It was me.

I rejected it.

Wow.

Look who it is. It's Mr. Good Man.

Since it was you...

I apologize. I shouldn't have done that.

Is this what you expected?

Well, Mr. Good Man didn't do anything. It was Manager Kim.

Move.

-Don't you know who I am? -That's got nothing to do with the budget.

-He's scaring me. -Me, too.

Eighty percent of your corporate expenses were not grantable.

Even your personal expenses were not work-related at all.

How can a newcomer like you know all the expense details?

Because it's ridiculous that you spent 9,457,520 wons for reception this month.

And it's hard to believe you did work in hotel suites and clubs.

Hey!

Shut your hole right now.

You bought luxury goods every two days, so you must be collecting them.

Is that work-related as well?

-Or did the newcomer get it wrong? -I told you to shut it.

By the way...

why do you keep talking...

like you own me, you shit?

Hey, Kim! What are you doing?

What did you say?

I asked why you are talking like you own me, you shit!

What is wrong with him? Hey, are you nuts?

Holy cow.

You think we're pushovers?

Are we your ATM?

You're the chairman's son. Is that why you're so rude?

You piece of shit with noodles for brains!

Noodles?

You crazy bastard. Are you nuts?

Hey, stop him!

Mr. Kim! Don't do it!

I'm going to get you, man! You will regret this!

Are you going to run to your dad? Yeah, you do that.

If I were your dad, I'd be too embarrassed to come to work, you shit!

-Let him go! -Don't, Mr. Kim!

Let go of me!

I'm going to break his arm right here. Like this!

Mr. Kim!

Get over here.

You, come here right now! I said come here!

God damn it, go away! This is so embarrassing!

You! Hold him tight! You stay right here!

I'm going to rip the rest of his arm off!

You piece of shit!

You're dead.

You're not getting away with this. I'll crush you!

Hey, Kim.

Are you sick or something?

Schizophrenia or anger management issues?

-No, sir. -Then why are you doing this to me!

This doesn't end with you getting fired.

I might get fired as well!

I'll take responsibility, sir.

How are you going to do that? Look what you've done.

But he was being an asshole. Just because he's the chairman's son!

What a piece of garbage.

He's an unrecyclable trash. Don't you think we know that?

We know!

But you know what? We just have to let him be.

That's how we survive!

It would feel good if you yell at him and punch him, but you should know.

Nothing comes out of it.

Do you think people like him will start to behave after today?

Park Myeong-seok is a kid, but you're a kid, too.

You asked me before.

You asked me if I can be transparent.

There, I proved it.

And now you're calling me a kid? I don't get it.

You pathetic kid!

How come every single thing you do is purely pathetic?

That guy said some things that were insulting to you.

He said if he was you, he'd be too embarrassed to come to work.

He got that right.

I can't even hold my head up because of you!

Dad, he was rude and violent.

-He pulled my arm... -Stop talking!

Whatever the reason, he seems to have crossed the line.

Director Cho.

Do I have to trouble myself over this?

You take care of it.

Yes, sir. I will.

Well done, you did good!

This is the only way for me to get off this ship. I mean...

Maybe I should've snapped his arm just to be sure.

So, are you saying we should fire Kim over such a minor incident?

It is not minor.

He insulted Chairman Park and used force against his son.

Your grudge goes a long way.

Are you still mad because I chose Kim and not your candidate?

Of course not.

I simply do not tolerate undesirable employees.

I need Kim. I just finished taming him.

There are other talented people.

You're being unreasonably stubborn!

I'm keeping him, so try your best.

I told you to stay low.

I couldn't stand that young prick!

It felt as if my baby brother was scolding me.

Were you taking it out on him?

Because I scolded you?

That's not what this is!

That's exactly what this is!

Come to me if you're mad at me. Don't pick on someone else!

That's not what happened. I'm sorry, sir.

-I'll not make you worry after today. -After today?

There might not be tomorrow. You could get fired.

What?

No wage cut or a letter of apology?

Just behave yourself for a while. I'll take care of it.

Okay.

Yes.

What do you mean?

What?

Speak up, for god's sake.

Where have you been?

-Were you waiting for me? -You wish. I was watching you.

Oh, yeah. You said you would do that.

Two things you've done surprise me.

One, saving Su-jin before. Two, kicking Myeong-seok's butt today.

What's wrong with that?

You don't seem humanistic enough to do such things.

Wow, did you just say humanistic? I must seem so inhumane to you.

I'll keep watching you until I find out what you gain from doing these things.

Excuse me.

You don't get it, do you?

I might get fired tomorrow.

Is this what I gained?

Please stop making me feel miserable.

As you know, Seoan Jangryong had planned to invest 78 billion wons in TQ,

and the investment was to take place after we pass their due diligence.

However,

a rumor has come to their knowledge and now they're postponing the investment.

Is that the stock market rumor about Manager Lee from Accounting?

Yes, it seems that they have seen his wife's interview as well.

If it's postponed, do we have no chance at all?

It's highly unlikely. They don't allow any kind of gossips.

Hurry on to Shanghai.

Fortunately, those in charge of the deal are currently in Korea for business.

I'll request a meeting before they go.

Go and convince them at all cost.

Give them what they want.

Yes, sir.

-Director Cho. -Yes.

Tell the legal team to deal with the wife legally.

Whether it be for defamation or spreading false information,

make her go away, once and for all.

Yes, sir.

Do you think people like him will start to behave after today?

You asked me before.

You asked me if I can be transparent.

There, I proved it.

And now you're calling me a kid?

Wow, this ball is nearly flat.

Oh, hello.

Yes, hello.

-Um, it's been a long time. -Yes.

Hey.

Um, you must be a baseball fan. Your swings were great.

It's so cold, I couldn't even hit one.

Have a good night.

Okay.

What the hell was I saying?

Seoan Jangryong people are visiting the company at two o'clock.

Speak with them. Treat them well.

-One more thing. -Yes.

I think my wife is up to something these days.

Did you witness something?

No, it's just my hunch.

Keep an eye on her.

Report to me if you find anything.

Yes, sir.

HEAD OF DIVISION

Kim.

Yes?

Until the final decision is made,

you're on standby.

Standby?

Stop working.

You are to stay in the waiting room until further notice.

-Okay. -Sorry, Kim.

I did say something about it, but the boss won't just listen to me.

This is what happens when you're about to be fired, right?

Oh, I'm fine. It was all my fault.

Wait a minute!

Doesn't he get a chance to explain himself?

You know our company is not like that.

I don't believe this.

I'm totally okay.

I'm glad I didn't cause you trouble.

Well, then...

Isn't he just amazing?

I guess he is, today.

Oh, yeah. Yoon.

Yes.

Man, this is...

What is it? Tell me.

This is from Mr. Go himself.

Seoan Jangryong people are coming here at two o'clock,

and he wants you to get some snacks that they might like.

For crying out loud.

Go said that himself?

I'm sorry, Yoon.

This is absurd.

I'll do it. You stay here, ma'am.

No. I should do it as the newest staff.

Never mind. I'll do it myself.

I'm heading off to the waiting room now.

WAITING ROOM

So this is the famous waiting room, where people come before they're fired.

The walls are telling me to quit.

They're attacking me.

The receiver cannot come to the phone. Please leave a message.

Ha-kyung. I'm in trouble.

Please call back when you hear this.

CHINESE TEA

Hello?

Who is this?

Oh, yes. How are you?

Ms. Yoon might be too busy to take a call right now.

-Me? -It's about something urgent.

-I'd like to discuss it with you. -But why me?

-I'm off to the bank. -See you.

-Ms. Yoon. You are back. -Yes.

-Ms. Yoon! -Yes?

-You got like a hundred calls! -Really?

SU-JIN MISSED CALL

I'm going out for a minute!

COMPLAINT

This is ridiculous.

"Spreading false information, obstruction of business, defamation"?

I can't even afford a lawyer because of the hospital fee.

What should I do?

"The accused directly interfered with the investment."

This is the most serious part.

If they stick to this, no lawyer will be able to handle it.

This is too much.

Why are they doing this to my family?

Um... Su-jin!

Ha-kyung.

I'm sorry. I left my phone in the office.

That's okay. I briefly told him about the situation.

Why did you tell him? You should've waited for me.

Huh?

Can't I at least hear her out?

But you can't deal with it.

That doesn't mean I can't listen. What's wrong with you?

You're right. Just listening to me means a lot.

Give it here.

What's taking so long?

I never thought I'd be dying to get fired in my life.

Weren't you too harsh on him? He came to hear me out, after all.

No, you shouldn't trust him.

But why?

He saved my life.

Well, that is true.

But you are not that close.

But he seems friendly.

My son likes him, too.

Anyway, you shouldn't worry.

I won't let the company have its way.

Thanks, Ha-kyung.

It's an honor to welcome you!

Yes, sure.

What the...

Hey.

Do you see the woman in black?

She's on our blacklist. Don't let her move until our guests leave.

Yes, sir.

-What's this? -Get her.

-Hey! What are you doing? -Don't do this.

-Let me go! Why are you taking me? -Let her go!

-Su-jin! -Ha-kyung!

Ha-kyung!

Su-jin!

Hey!

-Watch what you are doing. -Mind your own business.

Man, these guys are bringing out the beast inside me.

HERE GOES MY SECRET WEAPON THE SKIMMING PUNCH!

POW!

Don't say that. It's good to share...

-Please stop saying good man. -Good man!

I'm hearing things!

Why are they pointing out TQ Express in particular...

I can't do it.

Excuse me, I'm too busy to look into those things.

You cocky bastard!

The ledgers you have. Can you throw them away?

Let's make it work for now, for both of us to get what we want.

We need a solution.

Where the hell are you taking me...

Why don't you pick up?

You should've convinced your dad, so I can get fired.
