History of the Salaryman - Episode 4
Yes.
I have time tonight.
No it's on me. It
was all thanks to you.
I will call you back.
What are you doing?
Why are you playing dumb for?
We both know what we want.
You started the fire right?
It was you who started fire on the lab right?
And if I did it?
Why ask?
The minimum sentencing for an arsonist
is 3 years. Maximum is a life sentence.
If what you're saying is true, this is a headline news.
But why doesn't the news talk about it?
Could it be that Chun Ha is hiding it, afraid
that their stocks could make a large fall?
Yoo Bang.
Chun Ha may not be able to touch you.
But I'm different.
I don't own any stocks. And what
the hell? I've got nothing to lose.
Are you sure about that?
Stop messing around. You've got nothing.
You could even lose that.
Yoo Bang. Bastard...
You think it's going to be alright? Yoo Bang seemed to know.
If he wants to die together.
He will never do it.
The guys who have nothing are always
afraid that they might lose that too.
There are 12 suspects.
They are all analysts participating in BB project.
Kim Dae Chul. Age 51.
He's the chief analyst of the lab. He can get
in and out of the lab as if it's his place.
He's the most prime suspect.
Cha Woo Hee. Senior analyst.
She's the only one who knows the
password along with the chief analyst.
The traitor could be someone other than them.
Even if you have to turn the company upside down, find the spy.
Yes sir.
I won't say it again.
Keep this incident from leaking!
Keep it secure!
If this leaks out,
all of you will have to think about resigning!
We won't catch him either then.
Shut up!
There are three kinds of people that I hate.
Lazy people. Incompetent people.
And traitors.
I can send lazy ones away.
I can fire incompetent ones.
But I will destroy the traitors with everything that I've got.
Even if it's my son, or someone who
helped me build this empire, and anyone!
They will experience the pain of hell!
Did you start the fire?
You even killed a $2 million chicken last time.
No one will think that it's strange
even if you started the fire.
Take that back right now!
Don't get so sensitive about it.
You stole the new drug right?
What? What are you talking about?
It was you who stole the drug from the lab.
Miss, I think you're going way too far.
Why are you guys panicking?
I was just kidding too.
You! Don't slander family members.
Family? We were family?
Of course.
You're my niece.
Are we not family?
Then call me a niece.
I hate hearing the word "niece" from you.
You little...
What? You want to kill me like my dad?
What? The entire Korea knows that your
father committed suicide for his incompetence.
Who made it like that?
You thought that I didn't know that you and
Grandpa pushed Dad to the edge of the cliff?
Shut up!
You know what Mom told me when he was dying?
She told me not to take revenge. She
said that you were still her brother.
But now I think I'm about to forget her will.
What do they take me for? I'm a
team manager without a decent team!
I might as well quit!
You want me to take it?
Are these suspects?
Where is Yoo Bang?
Talk to me for a sec.
What?
Alone?
So you want to find the new drug together?
I'm going to get brutal if you make me say it twice.
I understand what you're saying.
But we won't be able to catch him
just because we're working together.
I think she's it.
Cha won't ever do it.
Only Chief and she can go in the vault right?
It's got to be one of the two.
Normally in these kinds of stories, the third person is...
That's only in stories. This is reality.
I'm leaning towards her more than the chief.
Who was in charge of her?
She used to be under me. But she
recently transferred to Manager Lee.
Switch her to us.
He is my senior. He won't just give her to me.
Bring him to me. It will only take
5 minutes if I swear on his face.
The only team I've got is you...
What? I'm the leader here.
Then you want me to serve you alone?
You have him... What's his face. Yoo Bang.
That fool?
It's urgent right now. We have no choice.
She regained her consciousness and then fell back asleep.
She asked who saved her.
I explained to her what happened.
That's good.
It's all thanks to your first aid.
She will be able to get discharged tomorrow.
Thank you.
Yoon Bun Kwae.
Yes sir.
Where are you?
That's... Hold on.
No, no. It's not like that.
What? The drug is missing?
One of the key suspects is Cha Woo Hee.
So call me back as soon as she regains consciousness.
Ok, I understand.
You want me to get the new drug? That's a crime!
Ok then. You have never heard this.
I will do it! I will do it then!
Can I ask you a question then?
Who's the guy who puts gum on the toilet?
I need to know who's on our side to make it easier.
Don't get rash.
You just do what you're told.
Go fetch rabbits when I tell you like a dog.
Ok?
Cha Woo Hee isn't a spy is she?
It's me.
What are you doing over there?
I don't have time to explain. Let's meet.
You have the package right?
Yes.
Watch your back.
Ok. I will see you at 1.
Are we finally getting the new drug?
Sun Jin Pharmacy
Hi!
Good! Eat this if you didn't get to eat.
I just ate. You still have what I gave you last time?
What kind of medicine is this? Nothing was written on it.
It's for hair growth. They are not released yet.
Do they work?
I want to give them to my husband.
Clinical tests came out great.
Can you give me a bottle of supplements?
This is free.
No, I will pay.
It's ok. I can't let someone who makes meds pay for meds.
You can't even watch her?
You call yourself a warrior?
I'm sorry.
Being sorry is not enough!
Enough.
Was there anything suspicious while you were watching her?
Like someone called her,
or someone was calling her.
When I saw her, she just slept all day.
I was right about her.
If she's not the spy, there is no
reason for her to run away like that.
Who would like being monitored like that?
Are you on her side?
Did you come to like her after staying by her bedside?
It's not like that.
Shut up and listen to me.
You find Cha Woo Hee right now and stay with her for 24 hours.
All day?
If we can't find that new drug,
I will personally fire you myself.
Ok?
Ok.
You weren't interested one bit in the
corporate business. What's gotten into you?
I want to find that new drug.
For what? You want to live longer?
No, I will make a deal with Grandpa.
So that I can leave forever.
I hate both this company and home.
Your guest is here.
Let her in.
The package?
Money first.
Don't mess around and give me the package first.
This is the Eternal Youth and Immortality drug.
Give me money now.
$300,000.
The sum is wrong.
I think a 0 is missing.
We've considered the appropriate amount of money for this.
Appropriate?
Do you not know how much the new drug is worth?
What? Are you disobeying me?
You promised $3 million! Not just $300k!
Just 300k? How much do you get paid?
Do you know how long it would take for you to make 300k?
I can't take that money. Give me that new drug back.
Hey! Cha Woo Hee.
We do thank you for helping us.
But being too greedy will hurt you.
Our VP will soon become chairman.
We will let you work for the rest of
your life in a position that you like.
Ok?
I get watched now.
So? You want to turn yourself in?
I'm the son of the Chairman.
I'm the owner of this new drug.
What will happen to us then?
You will just become the thief alone.
Do you understand me?
What do you want to eat? Sashimi here is delicious.
Hey! Cha Woo Hee!
You think it will be ok to let her go like that?
We might as well just give $3 million.
What if my spendings get tracked then?
I will get it in cash somehow.
She's not stupid enough to act rashly.
We can just pay the rest. Let's order food.
Assholes!
She's here!
Move your head! You're so annoying!
Let me see!
Someone is calling her!
Put on the headphone!
You wanna die? Do it right!
Yes, Father. No I'm home.
$5000?
I sent you the money for this month.
I even sent tuition for Yeon Jin. What else do you need?
Your brother got in trouble again.
Isn't this too much?
I'm eating ramen right now!
I can't even buy clothes or food with the money I make.
She only looked good on the outside. She's really poor inside.
Looks like my hunch was right.
She's using line of credit for just $5000.
Isn't that a bit crappy?
What? What's that hateful look for?
Shut up with your ignorance.
There are mothers that buy their
children clothes with their meds money.
There are children who can't even buy them
meds even if their parents are rotting inside.
Did you know?
- Why live like that? - Why live like that?
Because they don't have money! They don't have money!
Why don't they have money?
There are plenty of folks who do not have money.
If they don't have money, they just
have to sell their diamonds and gold!
Geez...
That's why everyone hates you!
Have you gone out of your mind? How dare...
What are you doing? Why aren't you going after her?
Can't I watch her alone?
Alone?
We won't be able to find out anything like this.
Just let me handle it.
Do it then.
Hi!
Let me introduce myself.
I know you. You saved my life.
I heard that you were monitoring the analysts these days.
Are you in charge of me?
Yes, what should I do?
I have to watch you for 24 hours starting today.
24 hours?
Are you saying you're going to come in to my place?
I'm sorry. I have no choice.
It's work.
You didn't get a phone call?
They should be notifying you pretty soon.
They are crazy.
Yeah! They are crazy.
But what else can we do, when we're just getting paid?
If you don't like it, you can just quit and say hell to it.
Right?
Dang!
What's wrong with your place?
You just need flies to make it into a trash can.
You don't stay home often do you?
I don't even know where to start.
Look at him! What the hell is he doing?
Did he get paid to do that? Is he a maid?
Why is he doing house work?
Miss.
Yoo Bang is there. We don't need to watch them.
How can I trust that retard?
He will be seduced so easily.
Look at him!
- You might as well move in! - I'm cold.
Eat dinner.
You can eat.
You must be hungry. Are you sure?
I'm good!
Geez...
It's not like I asked you to cook for me.
I'm just asking you to eat what I have made for you. Why get angry?
Let's see.
Oh my God! What am I going to do?
I'm so glad that I'm eating it by myself.
It would have been a waste to eat with two people.
It's so good.
I have to just gulp it down even if it's hot.
That's how I was taught at home.
I'm so hungry right now.
Why is he making so much noise?
Wake up!
What?
The lights went out.
They are going to bed then.
It's just the two of them!
Put that on!
You want to hear them snore?
Warm it up before you eat it.
You're really...
Eating while no one is watching always tastes good.
Who told you to cook at my place?
What? I bought all those groceries.
You're not even paying.
How close are you with Jin Ho Hae VP?
Be honest with me.
It's you who put the gum on the toilet in the lab right?
What the heck are you talking about?
I know that you saw the VP in the morning.
I have the phone with me. You want me to check?
VP wanted to know about the lab fire.
Bingo! I've got it!
What's wrong with a staff seeing VP?
I understand you, Woo Hee.
Poverty is the one to blame. Not the person.
How many people live the world with integrity?
Are you treating me like a criminal?
I don't know what he said to persuade you.
But he's not the type to keep his words.
I know that!
Woo Hee. Give the new drug to me.
As long as we put that back, you won't get hurt at all.
Just trust me.
If you're so sure, why don't you go report to the police?
Actually, the company will be faster.
Call them and say that you've found
the person who stole the new drug.
This is the family fight of the wealthy!
You think they will put VP in jail?
You will go to jail alone!
You and I are both employees.
If people who pay us tell us to do it, we have to do it.
But being used and thrown away...
Isn't that just unfair?
If it's unfair, then I should overcome it.
I have my own ways.
Mind your own business.
Get the other guys as soon as it's the morning.
As long as I have this, I can do anything.
I won't live like an idiot!
There's a Chinese saying,
that people who are similar and alike help each other.
And?
You know the secret to the success of us salary men?
Line.
It's all about standing in the right line.
I want to have you as my person.
As a subordinate or a comrade.
Or something even better.
So I'm giving you this information.
Like the Chinese saying,
stay in the right line.
It's really funny to hear this from you.
You're not in a position to worry for someone else.
I like your personality. You're always straight up and fierce.
I really like it!
Am I bothering you guys having a good time?
Director!
He called me out for an important
matter, but I wish that I didn't come.
Let's go.
In future, try to weed out the people you see.
If a beauty like you,
has a scandal with a goner like him, it's a company shame.
Hey! Jang Ryang!
What did you say?
A goner?
You stay in the company without doing anything.
Aren't you a goner?
What did you say?
Stop people are watching.
What, you can't dare to hit me, because
I'm the director of human resources?
You think you will stay in that position forever right?
Wake up!
You will wake up one day and see that you were fired.
Stop it guys.
You have the nerve.
Threat doesn't come from someone powerless like you.
It comes from someone who has power like me.
You bastard!
Director! Are you ok?
Move! You bastard!
- Director! - Bring it on!
Stop it!
- Get out. - Bring it on without the ranks.
Stop it! Stop!
Move out!
I used to be a marine.
My nickname in the marines was a lethal weapon.
Stop it!
My shoe!
You assholes.
I said stop!
Stop!
It!
Already!
Come here!
Wake up! Like a grown up!
Why fight like kids?
Who is it?
You're going to break that door.
I'm coming! Coming!
What's going on?
Where Cha Woo Hee?
She's asleep. She probably isn't awake yet.
Wake her up right now.
What's going on in the morning?
Is this your place?
Wake her up!
Woo Hee! Are you asleep?
Can you come out for a sec?
What's going on?
We have to search your place.
What are you doing? Why would you search my place?
She's the granddaughter of Chairman.
Search thoroughly and take any kind of drugs.
Ok.
What are you doing?
Give me that.
That! The pillow!
Come here.
Find out the ingredients of those drugs ASAP.
Yes, Miss.
And starting from today, let someone else watch her.
Yes ma'am.
Why isn't he coming?
Are you leaving?
They ordered me to leave.
Thanks for the stay here last night.
Bye.
Umm... Can you stay?
You don't want me to go?
You didn't want to see me yesterday.
Why did you change your mind all of the sudden?
Stay here for a day longer. Or leave at night at least.
I'm just saying...
Have you fallen in love with me that quickly?
Huh?
Yeah, I guess I did.
I knew it. This is why I don't just cook for anyone.
That soup was really good right?
I don't want anything to go wrong with you.
Here's my business card.
Give me a call.
Damn it...
Really...
What the heck? It sliced again!
This hole always kills me.
You will lose quite a bit of money today.
I should quit golfing. Let's go.
Chop down all the woods in that out-of-bounds area.
What?
Make it wider so he doesn't go out of bounds over there.
We have to reconstruct the golf course
every time he comes. It's gotten really bad.
Representative Kim!
Yes ma'am.
The new drugs are being developed without trouble right?
Of course. You won't regret it if you invest in us.
To be honest, Jang Cho wanted to see us.
What?
They wanted to show us the proposal for
the new drug that they are developing.
You don't want runner-ups in this field.
Only the first place takes it all. You know that right?
That's exactly what they said.
They said that they will have the new drug out before Chun Ha.
You believe that?
Ever since their director has changed,
they are using aggressive marketing.
You will have to watch out.
The one who started fire on the lab looked like Hang Woo right?
The witness says so.
We will be ending the proposal then.
It had been more meaningful because
Mr. Jin Shi Hwang has come to see us.
To be honest, I didn't like it.
Our director allowed it.
He really is bold.
You really are horrid.
We have prepared a simple banquet next door.
Let's move there.
Let's get going!
I was expecting more.
But there really was nothing.
You think you can catch up with us like this?
There are still plenty of changes to come.
For example, like Chun Ha's laboratory being on fire.
What did you say?
I'm sorry.
I was only joking.
You are more foolish than I thought.
You though that the new drug was only in the lab?
I like your style.
You fight with your life depended on it.
That's how you have a real fight.
However,
remember this.
Not a single person survived after challenging me directly.
I just hope that your youth does not get trampled upon by me.
If someone as big as you can fall
because of an underling like me,
I would also be disappointed a lot.
He's still too young to know how the world works.
Don't worry about him.
That Hang Woo...
He reminds me of me in my youth.
His eyes, his way of talking.
Also his behavior.
I was just like him when I was young.
But he doesn't seem to have the new drug with him.
Looking at the research proposal, they don't seem to have the drug.
Before they get the new drug that's been leaked out,
we have to find it!
I think Hang Ryang doesn't know either. Ask Yoo Bang.
A bottle of the new drug must have gone missing.
You haven't answered your phone over the last few days.
You haven't changed your mind already have you?
What happened to the lab card that I gave you?
Why all of the sudden?
Someone set the lab on fire as soon as I gave you the card.
That's what you call coincidence.
You think I would go in there?
Why did you want to see me?
According to the report that we have,
A bottle of the new drug went missing before the fire.
You knew about this right?
Yes.
Who stole it?
You must have suspects.
You know who did it?
It's Choi Hang Woo. Jang Cho's director.
This is when the state should intervene!
Get me the background information on him.
Anyways,
contact me when you get new information.
Something is really wrong with him.
He couldn't be on the same side as Hang Woo right?
You want the secret financial information about the company?
Along with the stocks information, give all of them to me.
From the company's point of view, that's treachery.
Why should I do that?
Here.
If you look at this from the right side, it's on your left.
If you look at it from the left, it's on your right.
Treachery and cooperation are only a matter of point of view.
You want me to stand on the VP's side.
The choice is up to you.
But we really are giving you a big opportunity.
Opportunity?
Hello?
Yes go ahead.
A bottle of new drug had been leaked out from the lab.
Someone on your side has stolen the new drug.
It's the last new drug.
If we can't get it, everything we have done will go in vain.
You need to find out who has stolen the new drug.
Yes.
I will call you again.
The longer you drag this on, the
harder it is to reach a conclusion.
Are you going to help us or not?
Ok.
Why don't I risk it?
You will have to take care of me until the end.
See?
I told you that Choi will be on our side.
Here! For our friendship!
Cheers!
We will be relying on you.
The VP must have taken it.
What does he want?
He wants to sell the new drug to an overseas company.
To get a large sum of funds.
And then, he will let the world know about the fire.
When the stocks fall, he will buy them again with those funds.
Eventually, he will drive out his father,
and take over Chun Ha.
He will need my help to do that.
Now that we know where the drug went,
we will need to bring it back.
You stay out of this.
I can't trust anyone.
You know that.
You've been exposed too much.
I will do it.
It's dangerous for you too.
When Uncle passed, he left me a will.
He wanted me to take care of you like my brother.
If it wasn't for Uncle,
I wouldn't have been here today.
He raised me and taught me.
Let me repay it this time.
To me, you're the only family left.
You know that right?
What is this?
Why is this here?
What are you eating?
Multi vitamins.
I don't get to eat good meals, so I should take these at least.
He may be an asshole, but he has a heart.
Geez...
He didn't have to.
That's why he's a senior.
He has a big heart.
I will bring you supplements this weekend, Mom.
They are the tests run on the meds found in Cha Woo Hee's place.
There was no new drug.
I think we had it wrong.
It's already been passed onto Uncle.
That's really serious then.
Does Uncle still live in that place?
Yes.
Find out about his schedule tonight.
I think he's going to Jeju on a night flight.
Are you sure?
Yes. He has a seminar there.
Let me introduce myself.
I'm the new recruit, Yoo Bang.
You came in as the first place?
A hillbilly like you?
I won't make it long.
Where did you hide the new meds?
The new meds that went missing in the lab.
Only someone on the inside can steal it.
Who could it be?
It's someone that you have planted, right?
I don't know how you got in the company.
But you better quit and get the hell out.
Or you will see blood.
Blood?
I don't know about other people,
but you can't fire me.
Do you know why?
Because when I go down along with you,
you've got more to lose.
Are you threatening me?
Are you going to give me the new drug or not?
Get out!
Get the hell out!
Please!
I hope that you weren't the thief.
What's the reason?
What's the reason that you're trying to
find the new drug by even challenging me?
So I can move up.
Move up?
How else can someone powerless like me move up?
The only way is to contribute!
Arrogant fool.
Have a great trip to the seminar.
Are you leaving?
What you asked last time.
Get in the car.
You've gotten it ready rather quickly. Give it to me.
Before we do that, I need to check something.
Is it true that you have the
Eternal Youth and Immortality drug.
Park Beom Jeong has such a blabber mouth.
Let me see the new drug first.
Are you here to make a deal with me?
These secret documents with financial
information, I have traded it with my life.
I need something that I could trust.
Fine.
I will show you.
Here. This is the Eternal Youth and Immortality drug.
Now that you've seen it,
give me the documents that you have prepared.
You wouldn't be able to believe it.
Whenever I see it, I can't believe my own eyes.
What is this?
Isn't this a resignation?
I will take the new drug with me.
What are you doing?
Didn't you see the resignation?
I quit as of today!
You thief!
You stole it too!
Wake up! Wake up!
Hello?
Brother?
What's wrong with your voice?
I killed a person.
Ho Hae.
I killed him.
Calm down and talk to me.
Where are you right now?
What am I doing for that hillbilly?
I have to find it no matter what.
Thanks for the meal.
I should be paying for a meal like this.
Last time, you cooked delicious food for me.
Woo Hee, you're so much softer than I thought.
I'm not normally like this.
But you saved my life.
It's enough that you acknowledge it.
There are so many people in the world who don't deserve a favor.
I want to go to your place.
Where? My place?
Why? There's nothing there!
I really want to go.
Forget it.
It's really embarrassing.
Does it bother you that I'm interested in you?
Interested?
It doesn't.
That's good then.
Let's go drink beer at your place.
Beer?
What should I do then?
I can't refuse a guest that wants to come.
Whatever.
You can't make fun of me saying that my place is a mess!
Hold on.
Yes, this is...
Where are you?
I'm busy at the moment.
You asked me to do a background check on Choi Hang Woo right?
He has the new drug.
Choi Hang Woo is out for a seminar.
Go to his place and find the new meds.
Where does he live?
Yes.
Right now?
Ok.
Thank you!
Something wrong?
I really have to go.
I'm sorry.
Bang!
Oh yeah, it's raining outside. Go home early.
Bang!
That scum...
You can't hide from me.
The Eternal Youth and Immortality drug is in there for sure.
- I didn't see anything. - Calm down.
What do you mean? Homicide?
There is no way!
Cut out the crap!
Stop the car!
There's police everywhere to get us.
We have no choice. Follow me.
- How much money have you got? - I've got nothing!
We have to get Yeo Chi out.
Do I really look homeless?
You remember! Get out.
Thank you!
You want to attack Chun Ha?
If we miss this opportunity,
we won't be able to beat Chun Ha.
Utilize everything.
The company could be in danger.
We have to stop it.
Chun Ha! Will fall in an instant.
What are you doing?
