Sisyphus (시지프스 : the myth)

ALL NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

19 YEARS AGO AUGUST 6, 2001

Hello?

Are you still alive?

I thought you were dead. Why weren't you picking up?

What time is it?

It's past nine. Almost ten o'clock.

What?

I asked you to wake me at eight!

I kept calling you, but you wouldn't pick up.

I told you I have to get the results before meeting the investors tomorrow!

You couldn't do me that one favor?

Hey. I work so hard enduring the smell of oil

just to support you. How can you talk like that to me?

Anyway, I'm almost done. I'll be home at around 12.

How about some beer later?

Sounds nice.

Oh, can you pick up

a box of Bacchus energy drinks on your way home?

Don't get the fake ones just because they're cheaper.

Only Bacchus, okay?

All right. I get it.

Jeez. I'm screwed.

So how is it going?

Wow.

Is it going to work this time?

Come on. Work.

No! What the heck?

Darn it.

I messed up.

-What? -What's going on?

What's happening?

Gosh! Isn't that a man?

-Where? -Oh, my gosh!

Sir, there's someone on the rails over there!

-Move away from the rails! -Is he dead?

Stay back, everyone!

-What's he doing? -What's going on?

Sir, it's dangerous to be here.

The train is going to come soon.

Sir? Hello?

What?

Is he drunk?

Hey! Get up. Are you okay?

You shouldn't be…

What's this?

What? Why does he have a photo of Tae-sul and me?

RECORDS OF ATTACKS ON HAN TAE-SUL

JULY 15, 2020: PLANE CRASH AUGUST 15, 2020: CONFERENCE SHOOTING

Hey. What is this? What does this all mean?

Who are you? How do you know Tae-sul?

Who are you?

What?

Hey, wait!

Hey, you! Who are you?

You're up.

You seem to have a lot of nightmares. I do, too.

Let's go. Everyone's gone now.

Okay.

BANK TRANSFER FORM THREE MILLION WON

"Kim Jin-hui."

RESIDENT ID CARD

RESIDENT ID CARD PARK JAE-UK

-"Park Jae-uk." -Sir!

You startled me!

What are you doing here? What about the store?

It's payday today. I came to get everyone's money.

Just use your phone for stuff like that.

Go back to the store.

Illegal immigrants can't use mobile banking. That's too risky.

Anyway, who are you sending that to?

Three million won kept disappearing from the account book. Is this it?

Just go, will you?

-Who are you sending it to? -Hey!

Jeez. I work so many hours every day,

but I only get 1.8 million.

I provide you guys with board and lodging as well.

Plus, you get additional incentives for every successful deal.

Do your best. Then I'll pay you three million won.

Just go and find Han Tae-sul!

Jeez. Aren't you going? Do you want me to cut your pay?

What a horrible boss.

Fine. I am, so just report me to the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Sue me.

What will she do about it?

Stop staring at me.

You look fine. We're attending a party.

You look pretty.

Where should I hide my gun?

Don't even use that.

And let's not get shot, either.

Put that away.

Why aren't you dressed up?

I told you. Everyone will recognize me, so I can't go in.

I just have to go inside?

Yes. I got your name on the list.

-What… -Grace Park.

You have to pronounce it properly.

You're listed as a foreign investment firm employee.

And if they ask questions, pretend you don't understand Korean.

But I can't speak English.

It's fine. They'll get fooled by anyone who's dressed up like this.

-I look stupid. -No, you don't.

Besides, you have to hide in the crowd of fools.

All right. I'm going through the back door.

I'll look around the back and the second floor, and you…

I'll check the first floor. The entrance to the banquet hall.

Right. Okay.

Hold on. Let's check one last time.

We're just going to find out where my brother is.

No commotion, okay?

No hitting people,

twisting their joints or knocking them out.

You're dressed elegantly today, so don't do that.

Whether it's Sigma or someone else, don't fight with anyone.

-We'll see. -Hey!

Fine.

Hang on.

Do you hear me?

Say something.

Stop it.

Here. This is an EMP.

If something happens, push this red button.

Then it'll cause a blackout in the whole building,

and we won't be able to communicate. Got it?

Gang Seo-hae.

We got the approval.

Shoot the woman dead on sight.

To your positions!

Welcome. May I ask your name?

Ms. Grace Park is entering.

I'm in.

Is everything going okay?

People keep staring at me.

I told you not to draw their attention.

I didn't do anything.

-What about my brother? -I don't see him.

But what are all these people doing here?

Well, they're all celebrating my death together.

But they're your company's people.

Well, to be exact, it's a stock company.

I only have five percent of the stocks,

so the remaining 95 percent

are having a party to celebrate my death.

It hasn't been officially announced yet,

but since this is a special occasion, you can all greet him first.

This is the new CEO of Quantum & Time,

Edward Kim.

Eddy, come and greet them.

Thank you. It's nice to meet you, everyone.

You must have been worried and anxious

due to the unfortunate events that happened to our company.

It's not official yet, but as the next CEO,

I want to tell you something today.

From now on, Quantum & Time will be a company

that is defined by the two words, trust and stability.

I want to use this opportunity to ask for your support and encouragement.

You're all so excited, aren't you?

Hey.

After this is over, let's go to an amusement park.

I'll be your guide.

But you hate amusement parks.

Did you hear me?

Well, you said you wanted to go.

I can just wait in line there.

So

be careful.

You too.

Team A, clear.

Team B, clear.

Sniper Team, clear.

Starting communication jamming.

Excuse me.

We've met before, right? You look familiar.

Did we

meet at a conference?

Atlanta? Sydney?

There's no way I'd forget such a beauty like you.

No.

You really don't know me?

I don't.

Then I can be honest with you.

I did over a hundred handshakes with all these people here.

Everyone here apparently came to congratulate me,

but the problem is

I can't trust any one of them.

To these people here,

I'm just a playing card they'll discard after one use.

Just like my friend.

Han Tae-sul.

You know him, right?

I must've lost my mind.

He was a jerk, but he was a good jerk. Damn it.

You're the only one I don't know here, so let's clink our glasses.

Tae-sul,

I'll meet you in hell.

Why are you here?

I came with a friend.

Which friend? I know everyone here.

Well…
