[COME BACK, MISTER]
Please, help me, President!
My dad didn't commit suicide!
There must be a misunderstanding.
My dad would never have done that!
Help me, please!
- You have to let go of me, kid. - Please help me!
Han Na. You can't be doing this.
I apologize, President.
Who the hell is this kid?
She's the daughter of the late Section Chief Kim Young Soo.
I even have evidence, here!
He bought a present for Mom! There's no way he would have committed suicide!
Please help me! Please, President!
Help me!

Yes?
So you're 3747.
Um... this is the President of Sunjin Department Store, Cha Jae Gook.
As you must be well aware.
Are you okay?
If you're okay, hurry and get up.
Your dad told you that you have to get up on your own even when you get hurt.
I heard that he told you that.
Are you okay?
[EPISODE 4]
He even learned the three-part rule of cute behavior that morning
to help him get back in Mom's good graces.
He bought a necklace and planned something beforehand, too.
So it doesn't make sense that he would commit suicide!
You're the only one who really knows how I feel!
He probably wouldn't have been able to die
even if it was only because he wouldn't have wanted to waste the money.
The adults may have something going on that you're not aware of.
I'm sure that's not the case at all.
Even though my dad was a total scrooge, he could never do something bad.
Because he was a coward.
No matter how hard a time he was having
there's no way he could've died and left me behind.
That's right, my baby! How could I leave you behind?
I heard that they told you that he died of a heart attack.
How long have you known about all this?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
All I did was act like I didn't know.
Can Dad... I mean, can you hold onto this and give it to your mom later?
I think she'll be too sad if we give it to her now.
Why? So that it can contribute toward the debt?
Geez... who did you take after? Seriously.
Are you really such a high-ranking person?
Yeah. I'm the highest-ranking person here.
Oh... so that's why you're a loan shark.
No! I told you, I'm not a loan shark!
Have you ever seen such a handsome loan shark before?
My dad said that they usually look like they're worth as much as they are.
I'm sorry.
Why are you here? What about school?
Mom... that's not the issue right now.
Then what is the issue?
Why are you here? What are you doing here?
Why are you hitting her?
Mom... I'm sorry!
What are you sorry about?
Mom!
No... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for getting mad.
Hey, you were totally awesome.
As to be expected, my hypothesis was right.
I'm sure that Song Lee Yeon's scandal is Cha Jae Gook's work.
But wow... you became the Branch Manager overnight.
I think I got myself some pretty solid backup!
This is the spot...
where I took my last breath.
I'm sure it was painful.
Honestly, I don't remember if I was in pain or if I was sad.
Or if I was scared.
I'm sure you were in pain, sad, and scared.
Just like I was.
I feel like that now.
I'm afraid that...
I'll make my daughter cry again.
I'm in pain, and I'm sad, and I'm scared.
She was pretty.
Because she took after her mom.
I'll find out the truth, so that those two women will never cry again.
I will.
It seems like you and I both have a long road ahead of us.
But, you know...
was the world we lived in always this beautiful?
All right...
Who are you?
Father. He's the one who came by yesterday.
Yesterday?
Oh yes... that's right!
I'm getting my days mixed up, it seems.
Have two servings of something to eat before you go.
Mister Loan Collector.
Is that what you think, too?
That it was suicide?
Is that what you really believe?
That's what they told me...
What do you really believe?
Do you really believe that it was suicide?
What does it matter what I believe?
The dead can't talk, after all.
The dead can't talk, huh?
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

You've grown a lot.
Now you're blocking my path?
I'm telling you, I don't even have a place to sleep!
I'm saying that I'll sleep here instead of with Song Lee Yeon
and you can't even put me up for one night?
Ow! Damn it.
Stop spouting nonsense and go home while I'm still saying it nicely.
Before you end up in an unsavory situation.
My life is as good as forfeit now anyway and as for an unsavory situation
that's a term better suited for when you got circumcised back in middle school.
Damn it, Boss!
Han Gi Tak also told me this.
What... what now?
Even if everyone in the world turned their back on him...
that you, Choi Seung Jae, never would.

"I saw Song Lee Yeon at Sunjin Department Store today."
"She was flirting with her previous fling in front of her ex-husband."
"I really think she must be crazy."
"I heard she is making a comeback with a movie"
"so being in an erotic movie would be perfect for her."
"She's a cheap woman who can't live without a man."
"I feel sorry for her damn kid."
Stop it, already.
Why? There are 600 more.
So please... take a good, hard look at reality.
Young Chan's mother.
Ms. Song Lee Yeon! How dare you mess around?
So I guess he did face some backlash
if his farmhand ran over here so quickly.
Seeing as how he's barking so much.
What? You don't like that? Want me to call you his slave instead?
I know all about how you plotted with him to trick me.
What a great thing to say, especially when we both are fed by the same hand.
Let's retain some decorum between us, shall we?
Instead of making me have to come here. So annoying.
Who else could feed you, clothe you, and house you like we do?
And give as much money as we do to a washed-up old actress like you?
Then...
The investor is uncomfortable right now for many reasons.
A dead person is hindering a person who's alive, huh?
I'm seriously really upset.
Just send that kid to his father and be an actress without worries...
Let go of me! Do you want to die?
Let go! I'll kill you!
What's this?
Na Suk Chul.
You son of a...
I apologize, President. She's my little sister. I mentioned her to you before.
I told her that she couldn't, but she was begging to do chores around here.
Hurry up and follow me out.
Let go!
Na Suk Chul.
You've become a President, now?
Yeah.
Would you like some coffee?
Of course, sweetie.
Pick one of the parts that have come in for you.
[SALT] For this one
you need to be nude, and for this one, you're in two scenes.
Which one would you rather do?
Just be thankful, and do what I'm telling you to do.
Got that?
Stop acting like the thug you are and just sit still.
I'll take care of my own affairs.
Geez... what am I going to do about that attitude of yours?
Oh... this is good!
I'm going to earn a crap ton of money and escape this dump.
Please do! Okay?
Geez.
You're drinking way too much.
What good will you be when you're so weak mentally?
I have a meeting with the producer tomorrow.
He's preparing for a new project with Director Bong Seung Wook.
I'm not ready yet, but they keep telling me that they really need me.
How do I seem to you?
Do I seem really broken?
Well... it's not so bad that you're unrecognizable.
I gained five whole kilograms after I had my kid.
And the camera will only make me look chubbier.
But... what was your name, again?
Hong... Hong Nan. (ORCHID)
Hong Nan?
Han Hong Nan?
What a pretty name.
It really suits you.
You wear it well.
Ms. Hong Nan... let's not meet again.
I...
want to forget about Han Gi Tak.
As if he never existed in my life at all.
I'll pay you back for everything I owe him later.
It's fine if you resent me.
But... right now...
I want to live a quiet life.
What did that bastard Na Suk Chul do to you that you're like this?
I'm begging you.
Piss off!
It's too late for you to pay back the debt you owe him.
I shouldn't have come back.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by DramaFever.
Did you see him shaking? He was glaring at me so hard.
This is his greeting to me.
Did you see that damn woman laughing at me?
And what was with that little kid?
Those three totally disrespected me, at my department store!
And you, too! If someone says something, you should freaking say something back!
Damn it!
Don't wuss out because you're in front of the Chairman.
Right now, this person is my father.
Chairman! It's an honor to meet you!
Oh, President! I'm sorry about before!
"Make sure you increase Sunjin's sales by 130 percent within two months!"
"You'll be busy starting tomorrow, so go and rest!"
Is what he said.
No matter what you're trying to do, don't bother.
What?
This isn't something that you should covet.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Stop it with the act.
You think that Father will acknowledge you as his son
since he called you here, right?
Absolutely not. No way.
So don't even dare to dream about it.
Oh... really?
If you return to the States even now...
I'll take care of you and you'll never lack anything.
It's a department store that will close down, anyway.
Even now, our deficits are skyrocketing!
The department store will close down?
And you were on our asses about upping sales!
I died for this damn department store!
I'm sure you fully understand what I'm saying.
Since you're a smart one.
Yes, I understand.
I guess you're good at reading between the lines since you're an educated guy!
I'll give it a shot, and then talk to you later if it doesn't work out.
So, goodbye.
Things seem to be getting interesting now.
So you want to forget about me, huh?
You want to erase my existence out of your life?
Is that right?
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by DramaFever.
Leave... don't leave. Leave... don't leave.
Leave. Damn it.
What am I doing here as a human?
I've got nowhere to go, and no one who will welcome me.
Why did I come back here?
Oh... I'm hungry.
Damn it!
If you run into a sticky situation, press the star key.
It's a direct line to me.
What is it? You want to come back?
Damn it... I didn't press it, okay?
What the hell... you were watching me the whole time?
Are you a voyeur?
We prefer to refer to it as "monitoring".
Are you a prosecutor, or something?
This is seriously illegal!
Oh my. How could you insult my professionalism like that?
Stop it! Stop working so hard, damn you!
Let's play a game! Go, go, go!
Here we go! Act cute!
- Cute! - Put your hands up!
Ms. Hong Nan... let's never see each other again.
I...
want to forget about Han Gi Tak.
As if he never existed in my life at all.
I'm back.
I'm trash! Total trash!
I met this woman, and loved her...
and the fact that I left her alone is my biggest sin.
Yeah... that's truly a masterpiece, no matter how many times I see it.
Red... red wine!
All right...
I got another huge contract today.
Are you watching, Han Gi Tak?
I am, you bastard.
You couldn't do anything to me, even if you died...
But you're dead, punk!
Wow... I'm really acting like a crazy bastard!
Wait... did I leave the lights on?
What's going on?
Damn it... why doesn't it work?
Let go! Let go of me!
Let go, you bastard!
Not again! My fists of steel are failing me again!
Ow!
It hurts! I said, it hurts!
Stay still, woman!
Ow!
Who are you calling a woman? Huh?
How could I bite him, like a woman?
When I'm Han Gi Tak, a true man among men?
You... seriously!
Huh?
Why are you here?
Do you have a death wish? How dare you go there!
Did you follow me?
Don't leave... leave. Leave! Damn it!
I met this woman and loved her...
Did I leave the lights on?
Well... I guess you were a bit worried about me.
I don't care if you were his younger sister or his lover.
But if you came here looking for something for yourself
leave before you get hurt.
Look at the crappy way you're talking to me.
But even so, I know how you really feel.
You punk. How could I go and leave you behind?
Oh!
Wow! You're a real man.
Didn't anyone teach you formal speech?
Why? Want me to call you Big Brother?
You punk.
I... I warned you. Hurry up and go.
Don't see me as a woman.
See me as your big brother.
Why did you go see Song Lee Yeon?
That's what I want to ask.
Oh my gosh! A ghost!
Why did that bastard...
go to see Song Lee Yeon all of the sudden?
This won't do. Follow me.
Wait!
You little...
A ghost! A ghost!
Say hello.
[HAN GI TAK]
It's not like he had family to hold a funeral for him
so we were considering scattering his ashes in his hometown.
But we felt like he'd be lonely if we did that.
[HAN GI TAK]
I finally feel like it's real now that I've seen this with my own eyes.
Don't do anything too crazy.
If you're put in danger as well...
how could I ever face the Boss?
Don't take it to heart.
What happened that day was an accident.
If you were with him too, you both could've gotten hurt.
It's a relief that at least you're still alive and well.
You're right.
That's why I'm waiting for a chance now.
Until nobody pays me any mind...
I'm going to live very quietly, until...
Are you, by any chance...
I'll discover the truth.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by DramaFever.
Oh my gosh.
It's not anything much.
Something I need?
Have a good rest! Bye!
Wow.
Hey, Han.
What's with your voice?
What? You don't have a place to sleep?
Oh geez... you reek of alcohol!
Just how much did you drink?
Did you run away without settling your tab again?
She said she wanted to forget me! She said she wanted to erase me!
She wants to forget about Han Gi Tak!
Ms. Lee Yeon said that?
But...
Seung Jae, that punk...
How could I forget about the Boss?
He was my family.
What should I do?
Should I go back, or not?
I can't do anything the way I want to!
These used to be my legendary fists of steel!
Why is my face so moist?
Is it raining?
Geez... a real man shouldn't cry.
Why are you crying?
It keeps... raining.
Stop doing that! Seriously!
Oh no... Han! Han!
Han! Han!
I'm so good-looking, no matter what time of day it is.
You're handsome even when you've just woken up.
Good morning!
Damn it!
- Hello, Branch Manager! - Hello, Branch Manager!
- Hello! - Hello!
- He's so handsome! - I love you!
Oh yeah. I heard there's an emergency situation
- in the secretarial department. - What?
Everyone wants to be his personal secretary so badly
that some people even returned from maternity leave right after giving birth!
It's so not fair that this honor fell to someone else.
What the heck am I doing? I'm old enough to have a grandson.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by DramaFever.
Why does this keep shaking?
Move, move, move!
Come in.
Ah... yes.
Branch Manager, here is your morning coffee.
Were you able to relax a bit for a couple of days?
Yes. Thanks to you.
Oh yeah. You don't feel bad that I'm making you do things like this, right?
Oh, of course not.
It's truly an honor to be able to serve you.
Please help me out until I get into the flow of things.
Yes. I'll do my best.
Move over a bit.
Stop blocking the view.
They can't see me because of you!
So... the reason why you asked for an all-glass enclosure is...
It's for the greater good.
To raise the employees' morale.
Oh... I see.
I feel like morale is going up, too.
Up, up, up!
Also, when new products come in for the men's department
bring them to me immediately.
Excuse me?
But... why?
It'll look like something straight out of a photo shoot
if I walk around wearing it.
I'm sure sales will go up a lot, too.
Oh... I see.
It really does seem so, after hearing the words come out of your mouth.
They say that the face is what drives fashion. Fashion-Face-Perfection.
FFP.
Oh. Your outfit's finishing touch is quite exquisite, sir.
Geez... and when are you going to shape up?
You're the manager of a fashion department.
Excuse me?
I feel like your eyes are getting droopier and droopier.
Have you though about getting some work done?
Excuse me?
If you leave them like that, you'll get blisters.
They might even droop down like this and you might not be able to see anymore!
That's not true. I can see just fine.
That's right. Let me know if you can't see.
Yes.
Oh yeah! Oh no.
What is it?
I want iced coffee all of the sudden.
In this weather?
Shall I make it again?
Yes.
Then I'll have to go make it. I'll make it again.
I'll bring you iced coffee.
- Hey. Honey. - Han!
He brought a woman in?
Yes.
And then...
Geez!
Stop it with that pathetic whispering of yours, Director Jang.
Did you call me... Director Jang?
Just speak in a normal voice!
- Damn it. - Oh... yes, sir.
I think the reason why he used jet lag as an excuse
and took some days off before coming in was because of that woman.
He called her to his place
then he drank with that woman in his room all night.
To think that he's dragging his personal affairs into the department store...
And furthermore...
Furthermore, he's taking her shopping!
This is totally my style.
That's mine!
No... buy me that! Buy me that!
Get me that!
Hello, Branch Manager.
My friend wants to buy some clothes.
Oh! Then I'll...
Will you help us out, Ms. Shin Da Hae?
Um... me?
Yes.
This friend... she's really only my friend, by the way!
But she really has no sense of style.
Please help her out.
I'll leave everything in your capable hands.
Wow... your wife is so pretty!
I knew there was a reason why you were so desperate to come back.
She's a total catch!
Would you like to try this on?
Wow!
- You look so pretty! - You look so gorgeous!
Hey. Can't I take off these pantyhose things?
They keep giving me a wedgie...
Shush!
It looks great.
We'll take it. And this, and that. Yeah.
And all those shoes and bags. Please wrap all of that up for us.
- All... of them? - Yes.
And I'll pay for it with my card.
With this black card, that only one percent of the population can use.
It doesn't have a limit!
So, how much is it?
9,620,000 won, Branch Manager.
Hey. Don't do it!
I can't just not buy it now.
Here you go.
Very good, sir.
It's okay. I'm the Branch Manager, after all.
That's three times more than how much I made in a month!
Oh, geez.
He has that much money, and yet...
Wow... I get why women go shopping when they're depressed now.
Hey!
What's up with your posture?
Women need attitude. All right?
Straighten your back, and your chest...
and thrust out your chest, like this!
And stick out your butt a bit, like this!
Like this. This is the most beautiful pose a woman can strike.
Like this?
You can't get your curves to stand out more?
Is it difficult?
Yeah.
Lean forward a bit, and do this.
Like this?
Push down a bit, and... ahh!
Ahh!
Geez... all these brand names are wasted on you.
Oh, but... your wife seems really familiar to me.
Where did I see her before?
What do you mean? Where would you have seen her?
No, I definitely think I've seen her somewhere before.
Does she look like Madame Park from the Bonjour Bar?
Do you want to die?
I'm already dead, punk!

Big Brother! Buy that for me!
Hey! Hey!
Did you make an appointment?
There was once a girl who stood there and asked me the same thing
and I'm sure she was fired the next day.
Of course, that was in the past.
Um... the rep is in a meeting right now.
That's what I keep hearing every time I call.
I mean, it's good that he's busy.
Just as long as he doesn't forget who helped him rise to glory!
I can't wait too long.
You can't go in right now!
- Oh. - So now you come out.
Oh, Ms. Song!
What brings you here, without even calling?
You seemed busy, so I decided to just show up.
Oh.
Did you speak to the director?
Oh, um... that is..
I told him that you were perfect for the part so many times
but he had a different image in mind.
I'm sure that not just any actress can handle that role.
Of course, I thought that as well!
But you know that Director Bong can be quite stubborn.
But I can't really say anything since I'm just a producer and you're not a newbie.
Sir, I'll be going now. See you at the shoot.
Oh, okay.
Ms. Song.
I'm fine with taking on the role of a mother.
I'm fine with the role of an aunt, or even a grandma!
I'm fine with small roles, so just give me some work... please!
Ms. Lee Yeon!
If only for the sake of our past... please.
I'm sorry, but I can't do anything, either.
It's what the investors want.
Sunjin Group has gotten involved pretty much everywhere
so it'll be hard for you to get a part in any movie unless it's an indie film.
Geez... this is so upsetting!
You bastard!
Oh my...
It's Director Bong.
What?
Yes, Director?
What? Today?
As for time, of course...
I'll check if I have any today.
What's my schedule like for today?
Oh, I have some time?
It seems like I do have a little bit of time.
I usually don't go to that neighborhood
but I'll go since you're the one who's asking.
Okay. See you later, then.
He asked for hot coffee, then cold coffee!
Then he asked for honeyed water!
And he has a really strange habit, too.
Let's all work hard together from now on.
How can that be...
I guess we won't have to worry about him, then.
People like him are easy to deal with.
I don't think he's as great as the rumors say.
I drank too much for the first time in a while...
be sure to be mindful of how much you all drink!
You'll get yelled at like crazy when you die and go to heaven.
Oh, Section Chief Jung! What brings you here?
He was promoted to Manager.
Oh, really? Then you're on the same level as Manager Ma now.
Wow... what a skilled guy.
Section Chief Jung... no, I mean Manager Jung.
You saw Section Chief Kim on your way to work on the day he died, right?
Yes.
According to Section Chief Kim's daughter
he was planning to go on a date with his wife that night, right?
And he asked you to recommend a place. Is that right?
Yes.
So they're saying that someone who had plans with their wife and had even asked
for a recommendation committed suicide, huh?
Oh... um, that is...
Why did they rule it as a suicide when there wasn't even a note?
Did they catch the footage on the CCTV cameras?
We did get footage of him taking the elevator alone.
He'd taken off his shoes. There was no evidence of foul play.
Due to these circumstances, the police ruled it as a suicide...
Oh. Circumstances, eh?
Um, I apologize, but...
I don't understand why you keep asking about Section Chief Kim.
Why is it that I came here?
Because the Chairman wanted you to boost profit.
Profit. Yes. We do have to do that.
But would you want to buy products from this dump of a department store
where an employee committed suicide after accepting a bribe?
That's why!
In order to break free from this disgraceful state we're in...
- Excuse me? - Excuse me?
I'm going to find out why Section Chief Kim
who worked here for 15 years, had to die here.
Because I'm sure that the reason lies here somewhere.
So are you saying that the reason for his suicide lies in the company somehow?
You got it.
If there's something rotten here, shouldn't we get rid of that first?
For the sake of our sales, at the very least.
Isn't that right, President?
- Look here! - What is he saying?
- Wait a minute... - This is ridiculous!
It seems that our new Branch Manager has come here with a lot of zeal.
Let's hear him out.
These are testimonies from people who saw Section Chief Kim
on the night that he died.
That night, Section Chief Kim seemed to be in a hurried state.
He didn't seem to be doing too well.
He told me to please give him another chance
because he'd hurt his family on his wedding anniversary to see me.
He really pleaded with me.
Honestly... he's the one who's responsible for winning us over.
But... he committed suicide on that very day?
I can't believe that.
I was so shocked when I saw the news later!
I felt like I did something wrong somehow! Geez.
That night, he didn't smell like alcohol at all!
I thought he was sleeping but he started gagging and then vomited!
Did you see him jump?
I told you, I didn't!
I heard a thud so I looked around, and he was already...
Wait, is that a camera?
Goddammit...
I have nothing to say. Leave.
I heard that you quit work the day after his death.
Were they trying to keep you quiet?
I told you, I have nothing to say! Leave me alone!
We couldn't get anything else from him after that.
What was this man so scared of?
But, you know...
There are some items worth noting here.
I told you, I didn't see anything!
I heard a thud so I looked around, but he was already...
Big Brother! This camera is freaking awesome!
Wow... this really reeks of something fishy.
He didn't see anything.
He looked around the rooftop for maybe a minute or two.
He may have been hanging somewhere where he couldn't have seen.
I'm sure that, if it really had been a suicide, someone would have witnessed it.
So let's make some assumptions.
Everyone said that he didn't seem to be doing so well that day, right?
What if he didn't jump because he wanted to?
I'm asking you, what is the reason behind this?
He wasn't a window washer or anything
so why did he go up there if he wasn't planning to kill himself?
Well... it's not like we can ask a dead person.

Branch Manager Lee Hae Joon.
Are you saying that it was suicide, or not?
That's what I want to ask everyone.
Here was a person who was crazy busy due to the sales quota he had to meet.
He only slept two hours a day and sometimes only ate two meals a day.
And he ate junk food like ramen, hamburgers, and rice balls
and only drank carbonated beverages.
He didn't have time to exercise, so he went to the gym just twice in 6 months
and he took diet pills because his boss told him to lose weight.
And he drank every day, due to all this stress.
The volume of alcohol he consumed is about 1/10,000 of that of the Pacific.
Can this be considered suicide, or not?
Cerebral infarction. Myocardial infarction.
Hepatocirrhosis! High blood pressure! Hyperlipidemia! And even obesity!
He had over 15 chronic illnesses, and yet...
[FIRST PHYSICAL EXAMINATION RESULTS]
He drank and overworked himself every day.
Even though his body constantly gave him signs through chronic pain
he ignored all the signs, and worked himself to the bone.
Can this be considered suicide, or not?
Why didn't you take care of yourself?
All of you work an average of 40 hours a week, correct?
In Section Chief Kim's case, he worked at least 20 hours of overtime per week.
He only got paid for 45 hours worth of work per week
but he spent at least half of his life here.
Most of the employees in this department store work under similar conditions.
And I'm sure all of you are witnesses to that.
After overworking someone like that due to just some damn sales
can you really say that the company bears no responsibility?
If it does, the company should acknowledge it
and compensate his family accordingly.
For the sake of the family that lost
their one and only husband, father, and son, at the very least.
How touching.
Everything you said is correct.
But... you said that the company is partly responsible for his death.
Then... are you saying that Ms. Shin Da Hae over there
is working for the very company that killed her husband?
If she had any doubts regarding her husband's death
how could she manage to work here as if nothing had happened?
Isn't that right, Ms. Shin Da Hae?
[EPILOGUE]
Hey. Hey! Hey!
Is he, by any chance...
suffering from hypothermia?
No! No! Wake up! You can't die!
Who are you?

[COME BACK, MISTER]
Ms. Shin Da Hae. It's really difficult to see you.
Did you think that you could erase that?
Why did he have to die?
I'll answer that for you.
Please wait for me.
