History of the Salaryman

Episode 1

Hey! Be quiet! Snap out of it!

I said snap out of it! Focus!

Hey! Who are you?

We're the police.

What brings you here?

Arrest him.

Why are you arresting me?

We're arresting you on suspicions of murder.

What are you talking about? I'm a murder suspect?!

- Follow me. - I didn't do it!

I said I didn't do it!

Let me go!

What do you think you're doing?

Anything you say or do can, and will be...

I didn't do anything!

...will be held against you in a court of law...

You have the right to a lawyer.

I'm telling you that you have the wrong person!

I didn't kill anyone! Let me go!

Let me go! You got the wrong person!

- Be quiet and follow us! - Let me go!

Do you hear me? I didn't kill anyone!

Excuse me, sir, but what did you say just now?

Do you not understand Korean?

Enroll Yeo Chi in some business administration training.

But, Mr. Jin, Yeo Chi is your granddaughter.

Your son, who's sitting right here, is the VP.

So does it make any sense to have your granddaughter trained?

He's right, sir.

Besides, Yeo Chi hasn't shown any interest in the company.

Quiet!

Why don't you all just do rock, paper, scissors and

decide who's going to be the company's new president?

I don't care whether my heir will

be my granddaughter, son, or whoever.

Whoever does better in business administration classes

and is more skilled at running a company will be my heir!

That is my final word on that matter.

Mr. Jin, you're making a very wise decision!

And you, Ho Hae,

If you keep working like that, you won't

even be able to run a factory, you moron!

You're right, running a factory would even be too much for me!

Do you know how much this company has had

to pay out in compensations because of you?

We probably could've saved 1 or 2 of

our affiliate companies with that money.

Who the heck do you take after in our family to be so incompetent?

But wait, didn't I tell you to tell

Yeo Chi to attend today's meeting?

Oh man, I'm going crazy!

How can someone who eats the same food as me look so pretty?

Can a human being look so divine?

Oh my gosh, look at her lips! They're like a rosebud!

I'd bet it's not saliva but nectar that comes out of those lips!

I'd bet her voice is just as beautiful too.

Is that your lame excuse, you _!

You're late by 7 minutes.

I've been sitting in this lousy

place drinking this disgusting coffee,

and waiting for your ass to get over here for the past 7 minutes.

You...!

I feel so happy just sitting here

and staring at her through the window.

No, forget it.

You can just turn your car around and get lost.

Hello? Hello?

Don't you understand?

I said you're fired! You're fucking fired!

I - I'm so sorry!

And who the hell are you?

Do you not know how much these cost,

scrubbing them all hard like that?

Are you out of your mind?

No. A girl like that is way out of my league.

But still.

If I ever got a chance to date her, I'd certainly do my best and-

- Yoo Bang? - Yoo Bang-

You're Yoo Bang, right?

Ah! Yes, that's correct. I'm Yoo Bang.

Please sit down.

It's a consent form saying that you

agree to participate in a clinical trial.

We don't have much time, so please read it and sign it right away.

I have a pen. Don't worry, I'll use mine.

Project B.B. Also known as the

"Eternal Youth and Immortality Project. "

It's a new drug made by Chunha Group designed

to prevent aging and extend longevity.

There are a total of 30

participants in the clinical trial.

As this is top secret, these participants have no idea

what this medicine is for, nor which company is behind it.

Recently, the president of Chunha Group, Jin Shi Hwang,

has been meeting with the presidents of various banks.

When the clinical trials finish at the end of this

month, they are planning to meet with investors-

Our company, the Jangcho Group, has poured at least

$500 million into our own development of the drug!

If those bastards at Chunha Group get the

right to sell the drug first, then we're doomed!

Please calm down, sir.

So, then how are you suggesting we solve this problem?

I went to the ends of the earth and

did everything I could to recruit you!

I recruited you so that you could solve problems like these!

There are 3 possible solutions.

First, really speed up your research and development process,

so that we can get the authorization

to sell the drug first before Chunha.

But judging from our current situation,

that seems to be the least feasible solution.

The second solution?

Hinder their drug development process, so

that investors won't be supporting them.

Then what the heck is the best solution?!

Steal their new drug.

What a stupid solution, not to mention base and treacherous!

But who would we use as bait?

I'll be the mole.

You?

You'll do it yourself?

Please hand over your cell phones.

We'll be keeping your cell phones until

the end of the clinical trial period.

Please turn in your cell phones.

Mom escaped from the hospital again?

Auntie, what were you doing all the

time you were sitting beside her bed?

You said the doctor said that if Mom doesn't

get the treatment this time, it'll be dangerous!

You think she doesn't know that? She was afraid of the bill!

I said I'd take care of the bill!

Oh please, what you'd be giving us is chump change!

I'll make some money right away and bring the money to you.

What do you mean you'll come here? Do you

want your mom to dump cold water on you again?

Anyway, you're gonna start another

Korean War at home if you come here.

What are you doing?

I have to go now. I might be away from my phone for a while-

Didn't you hear me say that no cell phones are allowed?

For the next 10 days, you will have no contact with the

outside world for the duration of the clinical trial.

For your protection and safety, please wear

the blindfold in the seat in front of you.

Do we really have to wear this?

What kind of a drug requires such complicated procedures?

There aren't any serious side effects that

will cause us to die or anything, right?

You will always do as you are told.

And you won't ask any questions.

You promise never to reveal what

happens in the lab during the trial.

Whoever breaks one of these rules will

be immediately expelled from the trial.

Why do they have to be so strict?

Whoever doesn't agree with this can leave now.

But the money that you received from us in

advance must be immediately returned to us.

There's no car following us.

I don't think you'll have to worry.

I've located him.

Access granted.

Please stay close to the wall.

You said there are 30 participants in this clinical trial, right?

I'm certain that 1 or 2 of them are spies who

were sent to steal information on our new drug.

All of the 30 participants could be spies.

To my knowledge, the fact that we're conducting a clinical trial-

In any case, they're fish who've swum right into a net.

Mr. Jin, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Of course! That's the way it should be! How dare

those guys try to steal my biggest project yet!

Ball!

- Are you okay? - Are you okay, sir?

- Are you okay? - Sir!

What the heck was that?

What ill-mannered person just did that?!

Ball!

What's this all about? Who the heck is doing this?!

Hey, who are they? Who are they?

Jangcho Group...

I think it's Oh Ji Rak, Jangcho's president.

What? Oh Ji Rak?

What is that worthless bastard doing out here?

It's President Oh.

It's me.

Ah, I see it was you after all, Mr. Jin

Shi Hwang, President of Chunha Group.

It was hard to tell from far away.

Were you the one who hit the ball that

just landed here a few moments ago?

Yeah, I have a pretty powerful golf swing!

Ah, but the second one was hit by our financial director!

Were you hurt?

Hurt? Of course not! The ball was flying
