Original subtitles

For goodness' sake.

My gosh.

-Even if I am running short of money, -What was that move?

I wear underwear that costs almost 50,000 won.

Even if I die today from a car accident

or a robbery

and get stripped down at a hospital,

I wear expensive underwear so that I wouldn't look shabby.

How expensive is your underwear? It's an important matter.

You can't save face once you are dead.

You can't change your underwear once you are dead.

Why would you worry when you will be put in a burial shroud?

-It all comes down to underwear. -Come on, come on.

Everyone wears the same burial shroud. But in your last moment,

-That's it! -you will be in your underwear.

-For goodness' sake. -What was that?

-No one can block something like that. -For goodness' sake.

-What I am saying is this. -It was like a home run in baseball.

You may think that I am living without a plan,

but I wear expensive underwear every day

so that I wouldn't be an embarrassment when I die.

I live with that kind of a resolution, okay?

So don't think of me as an embarrassment.

If you think of me as an embarrassment, I would be really sad.

I don't think of you as an embarrassment.

Then why doesn't your wife know that I clean for a living?

When I called her, she asked me when I will start filming my movie.

I didn't have a chance to tell her.

Why is that? You are married to her.

You see her every morning and night.

Were you ashamed to tell her about me?

Were you ashamed to tell her that Sang-hoon and I clean for a living?

Stop it already.

Is there a problem?

Dong-hoon, I...

wanted to go into a trash bag.

The only thing I did in the movie industry for the past 20 years

was waiting.

I received an allowance from you at this age.

I felt so much like trash that I wanted to go into a trash bag.

You said the gift vouchers you handed me were given to you,

but I know you bought them.

So that I wouldn't feel bad about receiving allowances,

you bought gift vouchers on purpose

and acted like you had gotten them for free.

I wanted to make an incredible movie

and show off properly.

Now, I want to make money

and buy you tuna.

For goodness' sake.

-I feel bad for them. -But athletes earn so much money.

-Okay? I will buy you tuna. -Look at that. He lost the ball again.

Gosh, there is no hope for him.

Buy me an expensive dinner, you punk. It had better cost 90,000 won per person.

-What? -There he goes!

-It will go in! -Come on!

For goodness' sake.

-Why didn't he go for it? -For goodness' sake.

It would have been more expensive otherwise.

Hey, pay up 20,000 won each.

-Is the fee 20,000 won? -20,000 won.

-All right. -Thank you for the food.

-It's 20,000 won. All right. -Sit down.

Let's call it a night. We drank too much.

-Thank you for the food. -Hey. 20,000 won.

-Okay. 20,000 won. -See you tomorrow.

-Take care. -Here. 20,000 won.

-Dong-hoon, wrap this up. -Okay.

I drank too much. I drank way too much.

I will add the money to the money in the safe and put it in here.

Check the amount again later.

Make sure you lock the door. You don't want to get robbed. Okay?

I will get going.

Let's go for another round.

I need to get the loaches at Pyeongtaek Port tomorrow morning.

We won't stay much longer. I have work tomorrow, too.

Just sit down for a short while.

Come on. Where are you going? Je-cheol.

You heard him.

You will throw up on the stairs tomorrow if you drink more. Go home.

-Bye. -I will get going.

-Go home. -Go home, you punk.

Come in for one more round.

I should get going.

Why? I want to drink some more. Come in for one more round.

I will get going.

Did you find a nice bar while I was gone? Is that it, Dong-hoon?

Go back inside. I will get going.

Bye, Jeong-hui.

I want to go home, too.

JEONG-HUI'S

Don't get mad, okay? It's just that I am really curious.

What is it?

How is she doing?

Your colleague.

Please forget about her, okay?

I can't forget about her. How could I?

She is someone who likes my brother, a man with graying hair.

How many times do I have to tell you it isn't like that?

Is she pretty?

-She is pretty, right? -Just tell him that she is pretty.

Just tell him that you are dating her.

Talking about women makes him go crazy because he is a low-life.

The three of us need to be open-minded

when it comes to women.

We should have partied more. That's why we are like this right now.

There is such a thing as a love quota,

but I haven't been able to meet it. I should have partied more.

Stop it.

That's why I speak with words.

Do you want me to speak with actions? With my body?

Stop it already.

I will be a casanova in my next life.

I will live with no morals. I will date so many women. About 20 women.

Where are you coming back from?

A part-time job.

You work hard. You even have a part-time job.

Bye.

Aren't you coming?

Hey. She is the one, right? The one we saw the last time.

She seems frigid.

Don't you say another word.

She seemed cold when she was wearing sunglasses.

Now that she isn't wearing sunglasses, she seems frigid.

Wake up already!

Wake up!

GYEOM DEOK

Is it peaceful at the temple in the mountain?

I am dragging my heavy body

to the workplace against my wishes.

Your body can't be that heavy.

It must be your heart that's heavy.

Only slaves would be woken up with a kick.

I will see you at the company.

The project with the Chinese will proceed again.

Good work.

I went to China and fixed

the project Mr. Park Dong-un almost messed up.

The world is our oyster.

The current score is five for us and four for them.

Mr. Wang, I am back.

-You are back. -Yes.

For Mr. Do Jun-yeong's confidence vote,

Mr. Park Dong-un's position needs to be filled.

All the managing director candidates are on our side.

Then the score will be six to four.

Whom should we choose?

Mr. Park Dong-hoon is the only one who isn't on Mr. Yoon's side.

But Mr. Park Dong-hoon wouldn't be enough.

In the selection process of a managing director,

the immediate superior's evaluation counts the most.

Mr. Park's immediate superior is Mr. Yoon. He wouldn't give a good evaluation.

Come to think of it, Do Jun-yeong is pretty smart.

He moved Mr. Park from the Design Team

to Safety Inspection Team

so that he will be right under Mr. Yoon's influence.

That way, Mr. Yoon can crush him

so that he never advances in the company.

Okay.

Okay.

Did you look into the thing I asked you to?

They said only the prosecutor's office can review the client's information.

They suggested

that we contact the prosecutor's office for an investigation on bribery.

Then they will cooperate.

Who would agree to do that? It's bound to ruin the company image.

Did you enter the seismic zone correctly?

Yes.

The zone factor is 0.18 and the site class is Sc.

Then the Richter scale is about five, right?

Yes. It's about five.

So far, so good.

Then change the zone factor to 0.2 and the site class to Se.

Then the Richter scale is about six, right?

-That's right. -The displacement is strong at the top.

The building should have thicker walls since it doesn't have a strong core.

It wouldn't withstand a level six earthquake.

A level six earthquake would never hit Korea.

Making the building earthquake-resistant would cost

at least two billion won.

The owner of the building wants to sell it at a good price in a short amount of time.

He would be overjoyed

if you show a need for large expenditure

on the safety inspection report.

A structural engineer only needs to make judgments on the structures.

That's exactly why you will always remain a general manager.

You only think about yourself!

Keep going.

Let's see the shear wave velocity.

We could judge the site class to be Sd.

Come on out!

You should clean up after you throw up! This happens all the time!

How could you do this every day?

I know you are inside! Come on out!

I am scared to open the door in the morning.

You should either throw up outside or at home!

How could you throw up here every day?

Come on out!

Come on out already!

My arms hurt from banging on the door.

Who do you think will clean up your mess?

I am sorry. I was going to clean up after I woke up.

These men are supposed to come once a week

to sweep the stairs,

not clean up your vomit.

Why do I need to call them every day and beg?

I am sorry.

I am sorry. I apologize.

You don't live in this building alone.

You need to be mindful of your neighbors.

Must you make my husband curse

when he opens the door to go to work in the morning?

Ma'am.

I am really exhausted right now.

Would you please scold me later?

Don't answer the phone the next time.

Say you will only come here on Thursdays.

BROTHERS CLEANING SERVICE

Where are you going? Hey!

What is it again?

Call me when you throw up. Don't get cursed.

Excuse me. Director Park?

Director Park.

It's you, right?

-Do you know her? -Don't you know her?

I would have quit a long time ago.

I would have quit the moment my junior became the CEO.

With Mr. Park Dong-un gone, he doesn't have anyone behind his back.

His superiors blatantly pick on him so that he would quit.

It's such a pitiful sight.

Do you think Park Dong-hoon would quit?

Do you want to make a bet? He wouldn't quit.

He would stay no matter what.

He missed his chance to quit once.

If he misses it again, he would be ripped apart.

He should make up his mind if he has half a brain.

Have a drink with us.

I have an appointment.

Have a drink with us. Don't cry alone somewhere.

I really do have an appointment. Go without me. I will get going.

In retrospect, you should have befriended Do Jun-yeong.

Isn't that right?

You should live like Mr. Yoon.

He doesn't mind serving a younger man as long as he has power.

He follows without a complaint even if that man gets ahead of him.

You made your dissatisfaction too obvious.

We aren't on bad terms because he got ahead of me.

I knew that would happen once he got an MBA degree.

Then why?

Why are you on bad terms?

He wronged me.

It must have been last spring.

He had come back after having lunch outside.

-Are you going somewhere? -Yes.

The weather has improved. It's perfect for a stroll.

He suddenly acted like a friend.

I had a gut feeling right then and there.

"This punk has done me wrong."

He must have badmouthed me,

because he tried to be friendly a few more times afterward.

But I never went along because I was disgusted.

I made it obvious.

"I know that you have wronged me."

We were never friends, but our relationship soured afterward.

Are you saying the relationship soured

because he tried to be friendly?

You really hate him.

Take a look

at how he has wronged you.

Hey.

It's me. The landlady was here.

Are you seriously behind on rent?

When she saw Grandma in the room,

she flipped out and demanded that you move out.

I asked her for a few more days.

It's your 2G phone. I am the only one who calls that phone.

What?

Who is it?

I thought you were using that phone just for me.

Is there someone else you need to call secretly other than me?

-It isn't that kind of a relationship. -Is it a man or a woman?

Is it a man or a woman?

Here is Do Jun-yeong's call history for the past three months.

I don't see anything that is out of place.

You might see something different. Take a look.

He wouldn't have left any traces.

But he could have left some kind of a connection.

We know different things about him,

so you might catch something I didn't.

Take a look. This time,

we must take down Do Jun-yeong.

Do you wiretap as well?

Your call history is in Park Dong-hoon's hands.

Once he spots his wife's phone number,

he will know about the affair in no time.

Do you think of me as such a sloppy person?

Her phone number isn't in there.

How about her office phone number?

He would know his wife's office phone number.

She used the phone booth whenever she called this phone.

You should do the same

instead of leaving a trace recklessly.

The indiscreet employee must have become awfully discreet.

I thought I would hear about the scandal once I came back from China,

but it's quiet at the company.

Did the mission fail?

Isn't this neater than a scandal?

A scheme to take down the CEO.

It should be enough to get them fired right away.

What am I supposed to do with an illegally wiretapped conversation?

I need proof.

Other people will find proof once you give them the conversation.

Email the audio file to the Audit Team.

POINT MART

BROTHERS CLEANING SERVICE

I know who she is. That's right.

I remember her.

Was she the one who always threw up?

She is the one who ruined his life.

She was the leading actress of Gi-hoon's first feature film.

She was such a horrible actress that the film got canceled.

After that, his life took a downturn.

His life reached the peak when he went to Cannes with a short film.

Then his life took a downturn after meeting her.

She used to be popular.

How did she disappear so suddenly?

Her life took a downturn after meeting him, too.

They are the same.

They met at the peak of their career and went down together.

Her popularity wouldn't have lasted.

She was the first woman in my life who made me clench my fist.

She was the absolute worst at acting!

I can't believe such a pretty woman made you clench your fist.

I wanted to end her.

-You should bring her here sometime. -Are you insane?

I want to see a celebrity.

The only celebrity I have seen in real life

is Lee Yong-sik, the man who played Pposik.

You shouldn't meet her.

If you aren't careful, your life will take a downturn.

I've already hit rock bottom.

-Work hard. -Okay. We will get going.

Okay.

Hello.

We meet again.

This must be your office.

Yes.

-Are you Director Park's older brother? -Yes.

I see. Hello.

I worked with Director Park briefly in the past.

I see.

How are you?

Well,

I am good.

Oh, this. I bought it on my way here.

It's red bean bread from a popular bakery.

Please eat it when you are hungry.

Thank you.

See you again.

-It was nice to meet you. -Bye.

She doesn't seem like someone who got scolded by you.

-Did she like you? -A bit.

Why was she hiding?

She has always been bad at acting.

-I will do it for you. -It's okay.

-Is the water hot? -Yes.

Hello.

Who takes care of your grandma while you are out?

My friend drops by.

What does "Ji" mean?

My son's name is Ji-seok.

It means "To reach."

How about "An"?

It means "Comfort."

How nice.

It's a good name.

GENERAL MANAGER OF AUDIT TEAM LEE GYU-SIK

Mr. Lee, you should listen to this.

Here is Do Jun-yeong's call history for the past three months.

I don't see anything that is out of place.

He wouldn't have left any traces.

But he could have left some kind of a connection.

This time, we must take down Do Jun-yeong.

Why can't we have a team dinner instead?

No one likes a company dinner with every employee.

Start drinking as soon as you sit down and get wasted.

Ms. Lee Ji-an.

Come to the company dinner.

Come and eat meat.

-I heard that it's really tasty. -Thank you for your hard work.

I haven't had meat in a long while.

It's so hectic in here. I wish it was a team dinner.

-Please give us more meat. -Okay.

Please hand the meat to her.

I heard that it's due this week.

Mr. Park, you make me sad.

An outcast is looking after another outcast.

-We need more meat over here. -Okay.

A fortune teller once told me

that I should be able to watch the meat get burnt

on the grill.

Then, I would live a comfortable life. But I guess that won't happen.

-I will grill the meat. -It's okay.

I can't believe I am doing the menial task in front of someone who is much younger.

Would you turn over the meat?

Don't you want to do that?

What would you do if I am better at grilling the meat?

You service the others in order to be liked.

How would you be liked if I take that away from you?

Mr. Lee.

-Yes? -About the thing we talked about before,

you won't be able to do it alone.

- We should work together. - Oh, that? I...

He is here.

Mr. Do, I didn't think you would come.

-It's an honor. Please come inside. -Hello.

Team Three, you should greet your superior.

We already did.

Did you start eating already without your superior?

A general manager should set an example!

Come here. Greet your superior.

Why does a senior need to go and greet a junior?

We are at a company, not university.

Mr. Park has seniority at the company, too.

In any case, he is losing at the moment.

Just drink and get wasted quickly. That way, you won't suffer those sights.

Everyone, fill your glass.

-Everyone, fill your glass. -Raise your glass.

Don't raise your glass higher than Mr. Do!

Mr. Yoon, don't do that.

-They should eat and drink comfortably. -Okay.

Raise your glass comfortably.

Have pride that the safety of Korea lies

in your hands. Let's go.

-Let's go! -Let's go!

Don't just sit there. Mr. Do's glass is empty.

Is the safety inspection going well at Incheon Airport?

Yes, it's going well.

-Thank you for your hard work. -Please don't mention it.

-Let me pour you a glass. -Thank you.

What are you doing?

Drink. Mr. Park has always liked to pour his own drink.

Mr. Park has remained

the same.

Grill the meat. What are you doing?

I think that's it.

All right. Mr. Do is leaving.

Mr. Do.

I have a question.

I heard

that you were Mr. Park's junior

back in university.

Is it true?

In that case, can't you treat him as a senior

when you are outside the company?

-Hey, hey. -Don't treat him like a subordinate.

How dare you criticize him in your drunken state?

Do you think this is a school?

How is this different from school?

Everyone does what the bully wants

and picks on the person the bully hates.

-Hey! -You bastard!

-You bastard! -What?

-Come here, you crazy bastard! -You know I am right!

-Please calm down. -What?

-Are you okay? -Are you okay?

You should stop that punk, not me!

Mr. Do! Mr. Do!

Mr. Park.

Make sure the executives don't hear about this.

Especially the chairman.

Yes, Sir. You don't need to worry. I am sorry.

All of you!

Make sure Mr. Chairman doesn't hear about this.

If the executives find out about this and Mr. Do loses face,

you will answer to me.

Why is no one answering?

-Okay. -Okay.

Answer me!

-Okay. -Okay.

Where are those punks?

You screwed me over today, more than they did.

Do you know that?

I didn't mean to do that.

Let's stop.

I..

Mr. Song was drunk. He drank so much.

We are done for. For fuck's sake!

For fuck's sake!

That's the thing with Mr. Park.

Can't he be considerate of his subordinates

and get on his knees?

Otherwise, he could just man up

and leave the company.

It's so stressful to work with a superior everyone hates.

There is nothing I can do.

If I were to be honest... If I were to be completely honest,

whose fault is this?

Is it the successful Do Jun-yeong's fault?

Is it the pathetic Mr. Park's fault?

Competence is men's best value.

You disgusting bastard.

Disgusting...

What is up with that bitch?

I

can't die today.

I am not wearing expensive underwear.

We should meet, don't you think?

Do you attend company dinners, too?

Did you enjoy the shitshow you witnessed today?

Are you certain Mr. Park Dong-hoon received the call history?

You heard the conversation he had with Mr. Park Dong-un.

Then why can't the Audit Team find it? Find it right this instant.

By the way,

why do you date a married woman at such an important time?

Stop being nosy and just do your job!

You could just break up with her.

Is she so charming that you don't want to break up with her?

Perhaps you don't know this,

but married women are the safest choice for men.

They would never babble about the relationship.

Besides, dating her would be safer than dumping her in the current situation.

Dumping a woman who still has feelings could cause some major headaches.

Gi-hoon called and asked about registering a business.

Will he open a film studio?

He took over the cleaning service Je-cheol used to run.

He will run it with Sang-hoon.

Did he completely leave the film industry?

Yes. What other choice does he have?

It's for the best. Mother must be relieved.

Why don't you open a business?

It's not like you can stay at the company forever.

Wouldn't it be better to open a business while you are young?

Running a business wouldn't be easy.

I would need eight experienced employees to get the business approved.

If I think about the employees' yearly salary,

equipment expense, and maintenance expense for the office,

I would need to start the business with at least 500 million won.

If I fail to find work, I would be 500 million won in debt.

Why do you worry about going into debt instead of earning money?

Why would anyone go bankrupt if it's easy to run a business?

Don't you remember what Sang-hoon said?

"It's better to get paid by someone even if you earn a million a month

because losing money while you sit idly drives you crazy."

How could you say that when you saw Sang-hoon's struggles?

Until when will you go to work every day like an animal that will be butchered?

Do you call this living?

Just quit! I will help you.

The fact I got slapped...

The fact I got slapped by that bitch is a secret.

Gosh, it's embarrassing.

-Why did she slap you? -How am I supposed to know?

That bitch. She will pay for this.

We would like to send you a present to celebrate our foundation day.

Please give us your address and name.

-She is back. -I know. Don't spare her a glance.

-Hello. -Hello.

Do you remember me? I used to be your assistant director.

Of course. Why wouldn't I remember you?

We were drinking together.

When I told him that I saw you, he wanted to come and say hello.

It has been a while.

I was really curious about how you were doing.

How are you these days?

I am sure you have heard. Didn't you tell him?

What?

-Let's drink together sometime. -Okay.

-I will get going. -Okay.

-I will get going. -Bye.

You should go, too.

Go. We weren't exactly friends.

Director Park.

Thank you so much for ruining your life.

I finally feel like I can breathe.

Thank you so much.

Director Park.

Would you like to drink with me?

Director Park was a rising star.

When the words got out that I became the leading actress of his first feature film,

all other actresses became jealous.

But in just three months under him,

I developed a habit of stuttering and became a retard.

I was so harshly criticized

that I did all sorts of foolish things.

I don't know how I was so foolish.

Why do you look so happy?

His life got completely ruined.

He left the industry without shooting a single feature film.

That means I wasn't the problem.

He was the problem.

I thought I was the problem all these years.

It was after I met him that my life got ruined.

I began to drink around that time, too.

Whenever I heard about him,

my heart beat fast.

Had Director Park become successful,

I would have died in agony.

I tried my best

to avoid becoming successful.

Thank you.

Now that your life is ruined,

you are truly lovely.

What a crazy bitch.

It's because of her that I never made it big.

He badmouthed you.
