FINAL EPISODE
Something huge is going down at LK.
I hope you can stick it out.
Sung-tae! Open the door! Sung- tae!
Sung-tae! I know you're in there. Open up.
Open-up. Sung-tae!
Where have you been!
I'd rather kill you my self before those thugs do.
But I'm too busy.
It must by nice to be so busy.
Did you call Bong-sam to thank him?
I never asked you guys to pay my debt.
And you guys have to rub it in.
Man, you are so shameless.
Since when have you and Bong-sam been so tight?
Think you are on his level now that you work at LK?
Why, you punk!
Don't let him in my place again without my permission.
You feel inferior to him?
Think I'm smoking crack?
Why should I feel inferior to that punk!
Then why are you getting so heated up?
Tell him I'll pay him back for sure.
Of course. You have to.
But not by gambling, got that?
I'm not gambling, you punk!
I'm not.
If I ever gamble again.
then I'll start calling you daddy.
You are such a jerk...
Do you have any goals?
Sure, I want to find a job and live the good life.
And fame would by the gravy on top?
Of course.
I don't know what's what anymore.
Hyun-ah!
How have you been?
You have gotten even prettier.
Don't pretend we're close.
What do you mean?
As if you don't know?
I don't.
Have I done something wrong?
You really don't know?
No, I don't.
How can you be so clueless?
I'm sorry?
What do Mi-ok got that I don't?
In all of my life...
I have never been so humiliated.
I never meant to humiliate you.
You don't even understand how I feel...
You are so cruel!
You make me sick.
What was that?
Seducing girls left and right with that innocent mug...
Why you...
Hello.
Good morning.
- Good morning, sir. - Yes.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
-Ms. Oh. -Yes, sir.
Where is Supervisor Moon?
I haven't seen him today.
What is going on?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Yes. Administrative department.
sir, It's for you.
Hello...
Pardon?
When will you start teaching us self-defense?
Yes.
How about at lunch time?
- You mean that? Cool! - Is that really true?
Quiet!
Yes, go ahead.
I'm looking for it right now.
In what newspaper?
Sankei?
that doesn't seem right...
We've been in touch with Hatsushida.
HATSUSHIDA AND S FORM CONSORTIUM
Lee Bong-sam speaking.
Excuse me?
Kang ho speaking.
Sir!
Mr. Kim!
Since our negotiations with Hatsushida have failed.
Our stocks have taken a dive.
The company we have dedicated our youth to is falling apart.
Are you just going to stand and watch?
We have to come up with a contingency plan!
You think I'm not aware of that?
You are not the one who dedicated his youth to LK.
I've been with the company longer.
Instead of staking it all on that Maruyama character.
You should have sought out other options!
What?
You are the one who insisted we go through him.
Now you are making me the scapegoat?
Just stick to your own duties!
Look after the little cosmetics stores!
The president brought you back
to fix up the cosmetics division.
Are you finished? Cosmetics stores?
What we are talking about is a service and trial...
Quiet.
None of you have done anything right.
No wonder our stocks are in the dumps!
The administration department isn't to blame for this.
The energy division should've done more.
How dare you raise your voice, you moron!
Are you finished?
Mr. Kim, you should take responsibility!
You have no right to throw things at me!
Nice shot, boss!
Come in.
You asked for me, sir?
Yes, I did.
Want to work outside of Seoul?
Pardon?
Or you could work abroad.
And it wouldn't be fun living in a rich country.
Perhaps somewhere with an untapped market.
Central Africa or Central Asia wouldn't be bad.
If you insist on staying in Seoul
you could work in the mailroom.
Where would you like to work?
Where should I send you?
A tough decision?
Then I'll make it for you.
You are excused.
And you underestimated me?
I don't know if you can really influence Maruyama.
but that is that.
Something huge is going down at LK.
I hope you can stick it out.
Of all the times to resign!
Have you heard from Supervisor Moon?
- No, sir. - Give him a call!
I did, but he isn't answering.
One crisis on top of another...
Keep trying!
Okay, sir.
Sir, I need to talk to you.
Maruyama?
We must have been out of our minds.
Man, I am hungry.
Why aren't you at your desk?
What is wrong with all of you...
Something bothering you?
I may end up in Africa thanks to you.
Africa?
Awesome!
I've always wanted to go to Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Dork.
But why?
On assignment?
Mr. Song wants to send me.
He wants me to open the market.
When you sold the proposal, the stocks took a dive.
Why you punk...
They are down again.
What are you trying to say?
Who benefits when LK stocks go down?
Those who want to buy the stocks, of course.
So someone could've done this to lower the value?
That is possible.
But a corporation of LK's size wouldn't fall for that.
Don't you read the papers?
With foreign capital, It could easily by done.
Why do you ask?
No reason...
See you tomorrow.
LK Corporation, one of Korea's premier companies,
is facing the biggest crisis in its history
The problems faced by its once promising energy division
are beginning to affect all of its operations.
The crisis began with unsound investments.
LK executives announced that they would make
radical reforms to avert the crisis.
However, they have met resistance from union leaders...
What are we going to do?
This is trouble.
Maybe they are going under?
No, it's such a big company.
I am home.
Hey, Hey!
What is this we hear?
Are there problems at your company?
They were talking about restructuring.
Your job's safe, isn't it?
We don't know anything yet.
Criminal law.
Criminal proceedings.
Police measures.
Investigation.
English.
English?
Criminal law.
Criminal proceedings.
Police procedures. - What are you doing?
I have given up on Seoul National University.
For what?
I think becoming a civil servant would be best.
Criminal law.
Criminal proceedings.
Police measures.
investigation.
English.
They were talking about restructuring.
Your job's safe, isn't it.
Moon, what are you...
How have you been?
Why you...
Excuse me, sir.
I'm Moon Sung-ho, and I represent Asian Capital.
What are you...
This is Director Kim.
- Hello. Nice meeting you. - Okay.
- Hello. - Okay.
Nice meeting you.
- Nice to meet you. - Okay
- Pleasure is mine. - Nice to meet you. - Thank you.
Supervisor Moon. What's this?
Long time no see, sir.
Shall we begin?
Well... First. Thank you for coming.
We are sorry to be meeting so late.
Aren't you guys being too hard on us?
You have to compromise a little.
Everything we need to say is here.
This is our last offer. Take it or leave it.
What was Mr. Moon doing here?
I was so surprised.
What in the world is going on?
I heard this from someone.
There may be a takeover.
So did Mr. Moon sell our corporate info?
No one knows the dephs of a man's soul.
Maybe they'll lose control of the company.
No...
We'll leave the company in the hands of the executives.
Let's all focus on our own duties.
You are still here.
You haven't gotten your notice of relocation?
What do you mean?
I manned a special recommendation.
You'll be moving to one of our major trading posts.
The Afghanistan branch.
Let's start the meeting.
This is bogus.
You didn't even consult his immediate superior.
What was that?
You might be on the Board of Directors.
but you can't make personnel decisions!
Listen here, Mr. Koo.
Is that insubordination?
I don't think you should act that way.
I make personnel decisions regarding you too.
Fine, can me! Do as you like!
But he works for me. So it's not your decision!
- Mr. Song... - Mr. Song...
- Mr. Moon... - Mr. Moon...
Are you thinking What I'm thinking?
You too?
There is something I have to show you.
I think I'd better go to Japan.
What?
Make sure to hold onto these photos.
By the way, what' a Memorandum of understanding?
I don't believe we should lose our composure.
And it's not an unreasonable demand.
After all, we sent out the S.O.S. asking for help.
Mr. Song.
Do you really work for LK?
What?
It is not unreasonable?
Trying to do us in?
Listen here, Mr. Koo.
This is no time to get emotional.
If we dillydally and lose this opportunity.
We may end up in a situation we can't handle.
Will you be responsible then?
Let's try to regain our composure.
Now's the time to be rational.
It's going to be a difficult decision.
But who knew the failure of the Hatsushida deal
would affect us so much...
I told you several times not to stake it all no Maruyama.
What is it?
I'm going to leave for Japan.
What?
Their deal is only a Memorandum of Understanding.
And Hatsushida was carrying out double negotiations.
I'll go talk to the Hatsushida chairman myself!
Get out.
I need a stipend.
I told you to get out.
I'll take the stipend when I return.
Mr. Song.
Have a safe trip.
Where were we?
I've been to Gimpo Airport before.
But this is my first time at incheon Airport.
And this is my first time going abroad.
May I have your passport and ticket?
Hi.
This is my first time on a plane.
Do they give you a meal?
I'm not sure.
How do you do? I'm Kang Ho and I work for LK.
Please check your boarding pass again.
Thank you.
He really left?
Yes.
Has this punk really lost his mind?
Why didn't you stop him?
I helped him out with expenses.
What!
More importantly, I must tell you something.
What is it?
What is this?
May I help you?
I'm here to see the chairman.
Do you have an appointment?
My name is Kang Ho and I work for LK.
Do you have an appointment?
I'm here to see the chairman.
Where are you from again?
My name is Kang Ho and I work for LK.
Should we call security?
He's handsome. We'll ask the chairman.
Besides, this Korean guy's even finer than Bae Youg-jun.
Please wait.
Sir, a Mr. Kang Ho From Korea is here to see you.
Please come this way.
Thank you.
How do you do, sir?
My name is Kang Ho and I work for LK.
The reason for my abrupt visit is to help complete
Your consertium arrangement with LK.
Sir, because you have reneged on your word.
LK is facing a grave crisis.
Arrogant fool.
How dare you...
So you want me to work with LK again?
I'm not here to beg you.
I'm here to ask you to keep your promise.
I am a businessman.
I only work with those who are good for my bottom line.
Even if you break a promise?
What was that?
Even if the other party offered you a better deal.
Shouldn't you have consulted with us first?
So?
You are going to offer me a better deal?
No, that is not the case.
We offered you the best deal we could.
Then we have nothing further to discuss.
No, that is not the case.
If you work with LK, Hatsushida will certainly benefit.
How?
From having an ethical, quality partner.
Ethical?
A corporation's ethics are put to the service
of making profits.
An Ethical corporation with no profits will be forgotten.
Such words from the leader of a world class corporation...
How disappointing.
What was that?
I beg to differ with you, sir.
If you pursue ethics rather than short-term gains.
Rather than making a few pennies now,
you'll reap greater gains in the long run.
Arrogant fool...
You are trying to lecture me?
It's a chance for you to gain a quality, ethical partner.
I hope you don't waste it, sir.
Sir, the meeting's about to begin.
Cancel it!
Yes, sir.
Okay, but under one condition.
If you can take me down right here.
I'll negotiate with LK again.
I accept, sir.
Sir!
Arrogant fool.
Take care.
Goodbye. See you again.
He beat up the chariman?
I most sincerely apologize.
Is that so?
I understand.
We'll make preparations as well...
We'll discuss the details in person.
Yes, of course, Kang Ho will be there.
Please give the chairman my regards.
What happened, sir?
Ho took on the chairman of hatsushida in a fight.
What a dork....
Man, if I get my hands on him....
And Hatsushida will be joining us in that consortium.
I'm sorry?
I am back!
Come here.
You are really something else.
Hooray!
Bong-sam do it too.
Great job!
You are the prodigy of the century.
Thank you, sir.
Not bad, buddy.
Of course. I am the top hire after all.
Kang Ho, of the administrative department.
Has shown unwavering determination and
the utmost devotion to the company.
Even in the face of great trials.
He has not only saved the company from a crisis.
But contributed to the morale of LK's 50,000 employees.
Thus, on behalf of everyone at LK,
I present him with this award.
From the chairman's office.
That's so strange.
A bottle of liquor is missing.
It's the most expensive kind we carry too.
About the appetizers you mentioned last time...
We tried our best to prepare them.
But we just didn't know where to get the ingredients...
You needn't worry, I didn't necessarily want them.
I just wanted to show off in front of Mi-ok.
How cool...
That's so strange...
Thank you.
Hi.
What brings you here?
I'm meeting some people. They will be here soon.
Want to join me for a drink?
Yes, sit down and have a drink.
Mi-ok, you can help us make some sales.
You are getting prettier by the day.
Thank you.
I see now that you have found your place at work.
I was a good judge of character after all.
I can't say that doesn't upset me a bit.
But I wish you the best in your career
and in your love life.
How cool...
Thank you for saying that.
Come on now.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
I've never been happier than I've felt lately.
Welcome.
Hello.
You are here early.
I see you are already drinking with my girl.
To Kang-ho's successful career.
Cheers!
And to money crazy Bong-sam, who paid the loan sharks.
Cheers!
Thank you.
And to Mr. Song, who's in Afghanistan in Bong-sam's place.
Cheer!
And to the Secretary, who truly cares about everyone here.
Cheers!
And to Mi-ok, who's conquered both love and work.
Cheers!
Let me grab some of these appetizers.
Hello, ma'am.
Good morning, ma'am.
