"I'm home." "Uh?" "Hello." "Jae Min!" "Your daddy's home!" "Hello, Daddy." "Aren't you going to get changed?" "I think this goes here." "Yes, you're right." "What's that for at this hour?" "We regret to inform passengers... that to maintain a safe distance between trains, the departure of this service will be delayed." "Normal operations will resume in approximately 10 minutes." "Excuse me, I need to get off." "Thank you." "Ouch!" "Please let me through." "Thank you." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Lee Mi Rae, Sales Division 2 Your arrival time has been registered." "OFFICE" "We need to get ready for the sales team meeting." "Give Mr Kim another call right away." "Good morning." "Sure, go ahead." "Excuse me." "Is something going on?" " Didn't you watch the news?" " The news?" "About that whole family battered to death with a hammer?" " Yes" " Well," "They're saying that was Kim Byeong Guk." "What?" "Detectives are here and everyone's frantic." "So nowadays even interns show up late?" "I'm sorry." "You know we've a meeting starting at 10?" "Lay out copies of the agenda in the conference room." "Okay, your attention please, everybody." "All of you will know about the events concerning Kim Byeong Guk from yesterday's news." "This is a detective from the Homicide Division" "He's been sent here...." "Excuse me, what was your name again?" "I'll speak to everyone individually, and I trust you'll co-operate." "For now, just get on with your work as normal." " Ah, right." "I'll let you get on." " Thanks." "So you're Hong Ji Seon, a manager?" "That's right." "You must have been really shocked." "That's only natural." "All the more so when you realized you'd had this psychopath around for so long." "I assume nothing stuck you as unusual about him." "On the contrary, he probably came across to everyone as a nice guy." "Psycho..." "He isn't that." "What?" "Mr Kim had absolutely nothing insane about him." "I thought he was foolish and naive," "And he's not the sort of person I get on with, but there's no way he would harm anyone." "What you think he is... some sort of psycho... he's not that sort of person." "Right." "Hard to believe, isn't it?" "We understand that." "Not hard to believe -- impossible to believe." "You know we haven't caught the murderer yet, don't you?" "You call Mr Kim a murderer." "Can you prove that?" "Ah, so this is where that stuff comes from." "I eat this for breakfast every morning." "Do you know how much force it takes to shatter a skull?" "Over 23 kilograms." "A blow with over 23 kilograms weight behind it." "His wife Kang Mi Gyeong, her skull was shattered into five pieces." "His mother, Ahn Jeong Soo, had her neck broken and died instantly of heart failure." "and then... his eight-year-old son, died of a haemorrhage when his shoulder blades and thigh bone were fractured." "The hammer that was used was found on the scene." "With Kim Byeong Gu's fingerprints on it." "Do you still not want to believe it?" "But Mr Kim... why would he do something like that?" "That's what we're trying to find out." "I guess so." "Did you ever observe him behaving strangely or doing something out of the ordinary?" "No." "Did he ever say any odd things?" "Odd things?" "Anything suggesting depression," "Or some sort of domestic problem?" "No." "Nothing special of that kind." "He had a son who suffered from a rare disease." "Muscular dystrophy, I think it's called." "He loved his son dearly, and he was known to be a devoted husband" "And what about at work?" "He was responsible and committed, always punctual, did as his superiors asked, always focussed in his work." "He hardly ever socialized outside office hours on account of his child." "And did he always go straight home from work?" "What?" "What I mean is... was he ever seen in the company of other women, that sort of thing?" "What?" "Mr Kim?" "Sorry." "How long does in normally take to get promoted to Director from his position?" "Usually, after 4 years at his level, people are made deputy or full Director." "And how many years had Kim Byeong Guk been on that grade?" "Let's see..." "Around 6 years, I guess." "He was certainly on that level when I joined the company." "So... he was long overdue for promotion?" "I wouldn't call it overdue." "He lacked the qualities the company values." "So he got left behind." "When he was passed over for promotion, that must have been very stressful." "Don't you think?" "No, I don't." "He didn't strike me as being keen on promotion." "And anyway, he was first in line for promotion next year." "And you're in line for promotion yourself, now, I guess?" "I suppose I am, yes..." "Thanks for your help." "If we need you again I'll be in touch." " Mi Rae" " Yes?" "Would you add these to the papers for the meeting?" "And do you have the inventory turnover figures for this month?" " Ah..." " Let me see." "That young lady..." "Isn't she a member of sales team 2 as well?" "Who do you mean?" "Ah..." "Not really." "She's just an intern, not a real employee." "But she's a member of sales team 2?" "Yes." "All the same... you've no need to talk to her." "She hasn't been here very long." "What's her name?" "Lee Mi Rae" "But she won't know anything about Kim Byeong Guk." "She..." "Oh..." "Miss Lee." "Yes?" "I'd like a brief word with you." "What, me?" "It won't take long." "Ah, not right this instant." "Something urgent's cropped up." "Miss Lee, I need a word." "Listen." "If he asks you about Kim Byeong Guk, say you know nothing." "What?" "What I mean is, just say that as an intern you know nothing at all." "People are dead..." "You know what I'm getting at?" "So plead ignorance if you don't want to get into all sorts of trouble." "Do as I say" "Alright?" "Yes." "And... what you witnessed back then... was an internal company matter, not for outsiders' ears." "Otherwise..." "I'm afraid I'm short of time, so can I speak to you before I leave?" "Off you go." "I don't really know." "I had hardly any direct dealings with Mr Kim." "As an intern, I don't even attend department meetings." "Did he have any particular problems with his colleagues?" "No" "I get the impression Mr Kim wasn't very popular in the office." "They don't like him much, do they?" "I guess not." "Why are there people like that, I wonder?" "It must be really hard for them in a big organisation." "They're straightforward and honest and hard-working." "And they just do as they're told." "It's not just in business organizations that you find them." "You get them even in the police force." "They just get on with their work regardless of what's going on around them." "Not able to figure out what their superiors expect of them, they just struggle on alone, all by themselves," "slaving away." "Miss Lee, you got on well with Kim Byeong Guk, didn't you?" "Excuse me..." "I've got to go get things ready for a meeting." "Right now, he's on the run." "If you hear anything from him, get in touch with me." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "There's going to be a meeting in here." "I think you'll have to use the big meeting room." "This is going to take quite a while yet." " Miss Lee!" " Yes?" "What are you up to there?" "Ah..." "I was just tidying the desk." "No one told you to do that." "Mi Rae!" "Yes?" "You can join us." "What?" "From today, you can come to the meetings." " Hurry up now." " Ah..." "Coming!" "[Kim Byeong Guk Login." "Password: ]" "[2015 Sales Strategy]" "Just look at this!" "Is this what you losers call earning your keep?" "It's total shit!" "Isn't it?" " You, Jeong Jae Il," " Yes?" "What did you do last Sunday?" "I was performing ancestral rites at home" "If you've time for ancestral rites, you've time to do some selling." "Lee Gwon Seok!" "What did you do on Sunday?" "I went to church, Sir." "Church?" "!" "You went to church?" "Forget about fucking church!" "You can pray at night, do you have to do it in daytime?" "Am I wrong here?" "Am asking too much?" "Would it be too hard to go round the retailers and shift a few boxes?" "I just don't get your attitude." "It wouldn't take long to press more stuff onto those fucking storekeepers." "Visiting a few stores north of the river, or calling up the owners and badgering them into ordering more, that's what sales is all about." "Having to spell that out pisses me off." "You, Miss Hong, get to your feet!" "You brought in 5% more last week, didn't you?" "Yes." "Last week Miss Hong visited a storekeeper in Yeongdeung, and there... she turned on the waterworks and shifted 20 extra boxes." "The owner called me in person." ""I'll take 20 more boxes," he said." "They were just crocodile tears, of course." "Ever heard of those?" "Miss Hong burst into crocodile tears." "For chrissakes..." "So who's going to finish the sales strategy Kim Byeong Guk was working on?" "Who's taking that on?" " Jeong Jae Il," " Yes?" "bring it to me for approval by the end of the week." "What, me?" "Right." "Don't think that the recent upset will get you all off the hook." "Have it all done before Chuseok if you want to get away for the holidays." "Got it?" "Have you?" "Yes." "Oh yes, Mi Rae..." "Yes?" "You know you're being considered for a full-time post?" "Yes." "You'll probably have an evaluation in a week's time." "Draw up some new analyses and decent marketing proposals." "I will, Sir." "Right, all get out." "Ah, Jeong Jae Il!" "Yes?" "About Kim Byeong Guk..." "Yes?" "Why do you think that buffoon did that?" "That's what I'm wondering." "The truth is..." "What?" "Yesterday evening," "I had dinner with the Managing Director, and I'd had a little too much to drink." "So I called a chauffeur service and nodded off in my car while I waited." "Suddenly this strange feeling... this really strange feeling came over me." "What the fuck's keeping that chauffeur?" "M.." "M.." "Mr Kim!" "What are you doing here at his hour?" "What are you doing?" "Did you call for a chauffeur?" "So it was just a dream..." "Nothing but a dream..." "Yet it was so vivid." "They'll catch him soon, I hope." "Of course they will." "Don't worry about that, Sir." "They're giving it all they've got." "In the meantime, if you've drunk a bit too much, call me instead of a chauffeur service." "It's really annoying..." "Can't he talk without swearing?" "But at least he doesn't swear at women." "He might not swear at me to my face, but what he said still demeaned me." "I felt so sorry for you, being treated like that." "After all, we were all there listening." "It was really too much." "Mr Kim had such an easy-going personality." "What do you mean, easy going?" "Supposing he wasn't easy going, but just incompetent?" "He ought to have opened up to people more." "His child was sick." "I think that's warped his mind." "If you felt so sorry for him you should have brought him a lunchbox." "Hey, don't be like that." "Still, it's wasn't right for him to keep us in the dark." "I heard Mr Kim say something a little while ago." "Is that so..." "Spill the beans, then." "True, Mr Kim has a soft spot for you." "That's right." "So fetch Mr Kim and bring him along." "In that case, why don't you all go on ahead." "Let me know where you're going to eat and we'll join you." "You expect us to contact you?" "Ah no..." "I'll call you to find out." "See you all later." "Mr Kim..." "Ah..." "Mi Rae..." "Aren't you going for lunch?" "They're all waiting." "Oh..." "No, I'm not going." "I had a big breakfast, so I don't feel like lunch." "You just go along by yourself." "Would you like me to fetch you something in?" "No, I'm not bothered." "But are you feeling alright?" "You don't look at all well." "I'm just fine." "Are you sure about that?" "In that case..." "There is no reply from the number you have called." "You may leave a message after the tone." "Mi Rae!" "Mi Rae!" "Mi Rae!" "What are you doing here?" "Did you fall asleep instead of coming to lunch?" "Ah, well..." "I was up all night working on my assignment." "It's 1 pm." "Oh gosh!" "The Director has a visitor." "Take them in some coffee." "Yes, of course." "Yeah." "I'm at work." "Don't worry about me." "In fact," "I think I'm soon going to get a proper post." "No, that's not the reason." "Anyway, I'll call you again later, Mom." "Bye for now." "No, it will be alright." "When I was a newcomer, I sat here knocking back booze with your father." "Really?" " I've brought you some coffee." " Oh, thanks." "Help yourself." "Ah yes, are all the members of your team in the office?" "Apart from Mr Jeong." "Where did he go?" " I think he..." " Never mind." "You can meet Mr Jeong later." "Come with me." "Right!" "Attention everybody!" "This is a new intern for Sales Team 2, Sin Da Mi." "She'll be starting today on sales promotion." "She'll be working under you, Miss Hong, so show her the ropes." "Introduce yourself." "Pleased to meet you all." "My name is Sin Da Mi." "Please be kind to me." "You graduated from Boston?" "And with a Master's?" "So how come you're here as just an intern?" "You're out of touch." "There are so many graduates around now." "They're all going to grad school first instead of joining a company." "That's quite right." "I didn't think I was ready for a job right away, so I've been trying my hand here and there." "I'm sure you'll all teach me a lot, and I promise I'll work hard." "You've been abroad so long, but your Korean's good." "Of course." "While I was doing my Master's I mentored new students from Korea." "Well then, maybe you could give my daughter some English lessons." "Come with me and talk some more." " Haven't you finished work yet?" " No, not quite." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "What jerk put this here?" "It's bad luck." "Listen, Mi Cheong." "Finding a place to live in Seoul nowadays is no joke." "You know that." "Come on!" "If you talk that way, what can I do?" "I'm not saying I won't marry you." "[Round and round we go]" "The way things stand with me, it will only be a year till..." "Stop crying so we can talk properly." "Look..." "Don't you remember what we agreed when I got this job?" "We didn't want to live from hand to mouth." "Oh, let's leave off for today." "I'm putting in overtime right now." "Today's the final deadline." "Yeah," "Take care." "Bye." "This is fucking crazy." "Chief, we've got Kim Byeong Guk's call records for the day in question." "There's nothing special." "Right up to the day concerned he called no-one apart from customers." "All that time, nothing but business conversations." "Chief!" "Come quick!" "This is CCTV footage from the office basement car park in the day in question." "Isn't that Kin Byeong Guk?" "So did that guy go back to the office?" "Look at the timestamp." "10.05 pm." "The killings were around 9.20 pm." "So after that mayhem, he went back to his workplace." "Are there other shots of him?" "No." "I've gone through all the footage, and the weird thing is, he only shows up in these carpark shots." "There are no other traces of him at all." "Not even from the elevator cameras?" "After 9 that evening, the elevator cameras were switched off for maintenance." "So... when did he leave?" "There's no sign of that." "No shots of him leaving at all." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I guess he must still be in the building." "Hey, there's still someone here!" "Wait!" "Did you try phoning?" "How about Security?" "Try again and get right back to me if you get an answer." "Yeah." "Who's there?" "Who the fuck's fooling around?" "I'm going crazy here." "M..." "Mr Kim?" "Mr Jeong." "Are you still at work?" "Mr Kim..." "Why have you come here?" "That's a silly question." "What does anyone come to work for?" "I've got to finish off the Sales Strategy." "Jeez, my head aches!" "Call the cops right now!" "You fucking bastard!" "What do you want, you sonofabitch?" "Why'd you come back here?" "Keep away from me!" "I can't find anything, fuck it!" "Oh shit!" "What's this?" "Someone's been here." "Intern?" "What are you doing here at his hour?" "Didn't I see you leave earlier, Miss?" "Dammit, you really startled me." "Didn't you say goodbye to me as you left around 9?" "Ah, I came back." "It was raining so hard...." "I'd been planning to work at home, but I came back to get this file." "Yes." "There's nobody in the parking lot." "I've searched every inch." "There's no sign he was here." "Shall I come up there?" "Don't bother." "Stay on the entrance floor and keep watch tonight." "Right." "You sure live a long way out." "Commuting to work must get you down." "The downtown rents are too expensive." "I've got used to it now, so I'm fine." "Where are you from?" "Gwangju." "When did you move to Seoul?" "About a year ago when I came to find work." "But you don't have a provincial accent." "I lost that in Junior High." "Why?" "Because I wanted to work in Seoul." "Where you thought the streets were paved with gold?" "Thank you so much." "For the comfortable ride home." "Is this where you live?" "Yes." "I'll probably need to talk to you again." "Well... what you said to me was quite right." "You see..." "Mr Kim gave me a lot of guidance." "Out of all my superiors, he was the only one who showed me any kindness." "I was a stranger in Seoul with strangers all around me," "and though I wasn't a permanent employee, he looked after me really well." "I don't know what other people told you about him, but he was really good to me." "Go home and get some sleep." "I've checked all the footage yet again." "Nothing at all to be seen." " So there's no record of him leaving?" " No." "So what next?" "You never know." "Collect all the CCTV footage from the surrounding buildings and check it out." "Yes." "So no sign of him leaving?" "Well then, you'd better camp out here." "Sure." "Sorry about this." "Good morning, Sir." "Where's Mr Jeong?" "Mr Jeong, hasn't showed up for work." "The man must be crazy." "The police... what did they say?" "It was just a formality." "They asked some questions then left." "There was nothing to investigate on our side." "Make quite certain all the employees keep their mouths shut." "Of course." "Don't worry, Sir." "So was this fellow known to have problems?" "What he did was horrible." "There was nothing special about him." "Whatever happens, our company's name absolutely mustn't leak out." "[Jeong Jae Il." "Sales Team 2]" "Round and round we go." "I wish I was dead." "It collapsed under the weight." "Any injuries?" "Skin lacerations on the neck as usual in such cases." "The autopsy report says the neck injuries are typical of a suicide." "Tell me... did you check his phone records?" "Yes." "There was match on his girlfriend's number" "That was the last call he made." "She claims they didn't really fight." "Just bickered a little." "I dug around a bit..." "He'd been worried recently because his shares had slumped." "It was Kim Byeong Guk!" "It was Kim Byeong Guk that killed him!" "You police couldn't catch him, you pathetic motherfuckers." "If you all hadn't fucked up, this crap wouldn't have happened." " What?" " You're all crappy bastards." "You motherfuckers, the citizens feed you and pay your salaries, but you're clueless, clueless losers." "What you need is a proper appraisal system to weed out the losers and fire them all." " Fired them and throw on the street." " That bastard, I'll..." "Go catch Kim Byeong Guk!" "Lee Mi Rae doesn't seem to be here." "There's no need for interns to show up on this kind of occasion." "All the same, she was on the same team." "Actually she's not, yet." "Your section boss is quite a character." "Coming out with the idea that Kim Byeong Guk killed Jeong Il Jae!" "I think he's right about that." "Now look here..." "We're the ones who decide whether it was murder or not." "Mr Jeong... was killed by Kim Byeong Guk." "What's gotten into you all?" "Are you playing at being cops now?" "Yesterday you said there was no way Kim Byeong Guk could do such a thing." "You claimed he would never hurt anyone." "In fact you refused to believe he was guilty." "So why this bullshit now?" "It's because I'm scared." "Scared of what?" "Mr Kim... is still in the office building." "I..." "I've seen him." "Where the hell did that file get to?" "Switch to a different user." "Kim Byeong Guk." "2015 Sales Strategy." "You think that makes any sense?" "Why didn't you report it?" "Are you certain it was Kim Byeong Guk?" "Did you tell your colleagues?" "Why not?" "Because he disappeared." "What?" "He disappeared again." "Without a trace." "I thought I'd been dreaming." "But no... it wasn't a dream." "I really can't say." "Maybe it was a hallucination." "Hey!" "Why just you?" "Where's the task squad?" "The thing is..." " You vetoed my request?" " Have a seat." " Why did you do that, why?" " I told you, have a seat." "We got a complaint from high places." "Complaint?" "What on earth about?" "A threat to sue us for disruption of business." "Heck!" "Searching the place overnight... when the employees have gone home?" "How's that disruption?" "It might damage the company's image." "If they're associated with a murder case, it will hit their sales, and they'll sue for damages." "So the company's image matters more than the safety of their staff?" "Don't raise your voice to me, you jerk." "Listen sir..." "I'm only asking for one detachment." " Give them two hours to search the place..." " And if they find nothing?" "But that's what we need to establish right now." "Driver, leave us for a moment." "Automobile Workers' Union Members" "It's reported he's near Bucheon Station." "Take a squad over to Bucheon first thing tomorrow." "And once you're there, grab this bastard." "Why me?" "This jerk controls all the saunas and on-line gaming places around Bucheon Station." "Bringing him in will do you credit." "But sir," "This has all been agreed above our heads." "You do realize you're up for promotion review soon?" "Kim Byeong Guk, Sales Team 2 has just logged in." "Mi Rae" "Mr Kim?" "You must be weary, working into the night." "Mr Kim, where are you?" "Is this really you?" "Stop playing around, whoever you are." "Have you kept the thing I gave you safe?" "Working late again?" "Why didn't you go to the wake?" "Ah, someone had to stay in the office." "Why do you try so hard?" "Don't overdo it." "Don't go home so late, or you'll not be in on time tomorrow." "Goodnight." "Ah Mom." "I'm still at work." "Night shift." "It's something I've absolutely got to finish today." "Equipment room." "No unauthorized access." "Still not gone home yet?" "Why are you here so late?" "Because I've got a report to write." "I was tired, so I went back home for a rest." "If I work at home my style gets a little sloppy." "So you live close by here?" "Yes." "I've got a studio apartment just nearby, but it's only big enough to sleep in." "But I didn't know anyone else would still be here." "That's good." "I don't like being alone." "We can keep each other company." "Sorry." "I have to go now." "Login:" "Lee Mi Rae" "Topic:" "What factors influence consumers' purchasing decisions?" "Sales analysis report." "By Sales Team 2 intern Sin Da Mi." "Topic:" "What factors influence consumers' purchasing decisions?" "Gosh Mi Rae!" "You're in early." "Good morning." "You came early." "Did you get home safely last night?" "Yes." "That's a thoughtful gesture." "Not really." "It just occurred to me on my way here." "What's up?" " What's up?" " Hi." "Da Mi bought the flowers on her way here." " Really?" " I'm just fetching some water for them." "Da Mi has a feel for what's appropriate." "She does." "She doesn't boast about her foreign degree and she seems to be a sensitive person." "She's got top qualifications, a sharp mind, and a pretty face." "She studied abroad, and can afford a place of her own." "Nice personality, too." "A rare find." "Whereas that one there..." " Mi Rae?" " Yeah." " Be careful what you say." " She's not a patch on Da Mi." " I couldn't wish for anyone better." " Hey, don't say that." "But it's pretty obvious..." " She's got no originality." " Keep it down!" "So sorry!" "For chrissakes!" "Watch where you're going!" "Sorry!" "Dammit." "Head of Human Resources." "Kim Tae Hyeong." "Stay seated, please." "So there's something you'd like to discuss?" "Yes." "So what is it?" "Our team... is deciding whether to offer me a full-time post." "The result is expected soon." "And how long have you been with us now?" "I've completed five months." "Personnel Record." "Lee Mi Rae, Intern" "So..." "Are you worried you might not make it?" "Well, you seem to have the right business sense and you work hard." "Can't you just be patient." "In any case, they've asked you to write a report to show what you can do." "So..." "That ...." "What about our new intern?" " Ah, what's the name?" " Sin Da Mi." "Personnel Record." "Lee Mi Rae, Intern" "She's only just started, so I don't see how she could be up for evaluation just yet." "Don't worry about her." "In fact, since you're in the same situation, she's an obvious person to befriend." "Wouldn't you say so?" "Lee Mi Rae!" "Where have you been?" "Your phone was off, too." "My battery's dead." "Sorry about that." "But I asked you where you've been." "Ah, I just went to ask about the intern evaluation." "Intern evaluation?" "Shouldn't you go ask about that in your own time?" "You do realize I'm exhausted after working all night on the Sales Strategy?" "And yet I've been stuck for 2 hours without the department store figures from you." "I'm so sorry." "I'll let you have them right away." "And Mi Rae..." "I was hoping not to have to say this," "Why do you think Sin Da Mi was recruited?" "Think about it." "We have one intern already, so why fetch in another?" "This department has only ever once had an intern... who didn't get a permanent appointment within three months." "Didn't you know that?" "Mi Rae!" "Yes?" "Are you crying?" "No." "You try too hard, that's your problem." "Stop trying to seem so perfect." "Don't make it so obvious that you're trying to shine." "That makes you look short of self-confidence." "I'm not sure... what you're trying to say." "When people see someone so obviously anxious to please, they think "there's someone with no belief in themselves"." ""They seem to think themselves somehow lacking."" ""Is there something wrong with them?"" "So develop a sense of how you come across." "Be adaptable instead of single-minded." "Despite all the differences, you strike me as similar to Kim Byeong Guk." "Fix your makeup then get back to your desk." "I'll go on ahead." "Mr Kim..." "Why do you keep a thing like that close by you?" "Do you remember?" "Last month, that salesman who hung himself..." "That night, he tried to contact me but didn't get through." "I guess the guy wanted to beg me to rescue him." "It turned out that before he died he sent me a package." "That fellow..." "Why would he send me something like this?" "Me of all people." "But to tell the truth, whenever I clasp it like this," "I feel somehow at ease." "All my frustration and anxiety seems to melt away." "To me, this thing... is like a talisman." "Mr Kim..." "Would you like to give it a try?" "No." "Try taking hold of it." "Mi Rae... there are only two kinds of people in this world." "And I think you're the same kind as me." "In fact... you should keep this." "You need it more than I do." "What's got into you, Mr Kim?" "Take it." "Mr Kim..." "Do you realize how weird you're acting?" "I mean it." "You really do need this." " Come on, take it." " I don't want it!" "Why should I be like you?" "Why?" "Oh my, I'm sorry." "Sorry." "Miss Hong." "Is this the best you can do?" "You expect me to go to HQ tomorrow and present this as a report?" "Are you out of your mind?" "You call this mish-mash a Sales Strategy?" "Did you think sticking down whatever came into your head would make a strategy?" "That's..." "I just did what Kim Byeong Guk always did." "Miss Hong... how much did you take from Kim Byeong Guk?" "This is just like one of his sales plans, you didn't change a single thing." ""Let's do next year what we did last year"" "There's not a single idea here, not the slightest sign your heart was in it." "Is that your plan?" "Do what Kim Byeong Guk always did?" "It leaves me speechless." "In the end, there's nothing here besides what Kim Byeong Guk did." "Miss Hong, it looks to me like you've been coasting along all this time." "So I'll throw in the towel, alright?" "What?" " I'm going to hand in my notice" " Now listen, Miss Hong!" "..." "I really think this is going to make me ill." "Any more of this, and I'll get ill." "It's more like working to kill myself than working for my living." " I'm off to write my resignation letter." " Hey, Miss Hong..." "Oh yes..." "You fired Kim Byeong Guk that day, didn't you?" "So why didn't you even mention that to the police?" ""An employee who was fired by this company"" ""brutally murdered his own family."" ""The unfair dismissal unhinged his mind,"" ""and drove him to commit such a horrendous crime."" "You were scared of reading that in the papers, so you hushed it up." "Quiet!" "You swore to the police nothing like that had happened." "And yet... you were terrified he might come back here, weren't you?" "I can see that's the truth." "Miss Hong!"
