On the Verge of Insanity (No One But a Madman / Michiji Angoseoya / 미치지 않고서야)

My anomaly detecting sensor system...

could probably resolve...

the defect in the dishwasher.

Hello, Mr. Dong.

Ms. Dang, have you finally joined us here at the headquarters?

I wish.

I'm just here to report something.

Why are you here so early?

The executives are having a meeting. I'm part of the preparation team.

This is so fascinating.

What is?

I was going to call you.

Why? Did you miss me that much?

Not really. After you.

The reorganization for the latter half of the year was moved up,

so Mr. Woo has been gathering executive recommendations lately.

Is that so?

I took a peek out of curiosity,

but I didn't see your name.

I thought you were coming back after selling Changin Business Department.

Maybe you missed it.

Maybe.

I'll see you later.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

(Fourth week of May, Customer Service Record)

Hello, sir.

Did you stop by?

Yes, I had something to report.

I left it on the table.

The table?

(Changin Business Department Combined Annual Report)

I see. You should've waited for me.

Things are quite hectic at Changin Business Department.

By the way,

aren't we signing the disposal contract next week?

When will you recommend me as an executive?

The regular appointment period isn't here yet. Why the rush?

Well...

I know they make exceptions at times.

It's not late...

to recommend you after signing the contract.

What's the problem? Do you not trust me?

I do.

Of course, I do. Of course.

Okay, then.

Goodbye.

Is this because I made a couple of mistakes? I see.

How dare you betray me like this?

(Countermeasure for Defective Dishwashers, Anomaly Detecting Sensor System)

What is it?

About that system you created.

Could you show it to the president during the product demonstration?

Hold on.

Did he agree? Did you convince him?

Not yet.

But?

Is he trying to hide this...

from the president as well?

That's right.

He's quite brazen.

So you want me to demonstrate the malfunction identifying system...

in front of the president who's not aware of this at all?

He'll know about it by then.

I'm going to report it to him...

before then at all costs.

That is,

if you agree to the demonstration.

Are you trying to gamble with this technology I have?

I know. It's reckless.

I'll be letting him know about the defect,

and you'll be proposing this technology to him.

Then people will definitely know...

that we're involved in the concealment of the defective dishwasher.

If you know that, why...

Forget it.

Listening to you is exhausting.

Are you quitting?

Quitting from what?

You proposed this first.

I know I'm being reckless.

But this is...

the best way to solve this problem in the most transparent way possible.

This is our last resort.

I won't force you.

But please...

reconsider.

She always makes everything sound like a last resort.

Hey.

Shouldn't you be working in there?

I'm playing hooky.

What?

Ban Seok. Hey!

Gosh. Right.

I saw it coming.

The HR team leader came here...

after shutting down Jinha Business Department.

Then she carried out a job adequacy evaluation.

I did suspect that she was going to let us go.

So?

Who's the buyer?

Who knows?

But they must be smaller than Hanmyeong.

Darn it.

Ban Seok.

Do you have to do that demonstration?

Who knows what the president will do?

We may not know who's buying this department.

But if we lie low, they may take us as well.

Then we'll be guaranteed at least three years' worth of salary,

and you can look for another job in the meantime.

Do you think that'll fix all our problems?

Imagine if they find out about this defect.

Their HR will sack us first...

in less than three months.

Gosh, Se Gwon. That scumbag!

So?

Should I do it?

I don't know!

Darn it.

Just do it.

Are you sure?

Either way, I'll be sacked eventually.

I should go with the option that's going to buy me...

one more year of employment.

(2021 Household Appliances Division New Product Demonstration)

Good work, everyone. Let's get the demonstration started.

Yes, sir. Let me escort you to the conference hall.

President Han.

I need to talk to you.

Me?

Yes, sir. There's something you must know.

Can you talk to Mr. No instead?

This is about a defective product.

A defective product?

What just happened?

Why is he going back?

- I need to talk to you. - What?

What is this about?

- What? - What if...

even President Han wants to cover it up? What will happen to us?

Isn't it obvious? We're just doomed.

Then I'll just use you as an excuse and get myself out of this mess.

Hey, you never told me that.

I thought we were on this together.

What are you talking about? You're the team leader.

This is why you have a higher position than me.

You also get paid more than me.

Gosh. What's gotten into you?

Come on. I told you about my situation.

My Seung Min is a high school senior.

I've bet everything I have here.

You always use that excuse. Goodness.

I'm just joking.

Don't worry. This won't affect you in any way.

Come on. You know that I'm too weak to handle this kind of prank.

Ms. Dang's job is on the line too.

So I'm sure she'll do her best to convince President Han for us.

This is driving me crazy.

It's so exhausting to work here. My heart won't last this place.

Gosh. Let's go.

What on earth is this about? Why do we have to stay outside?

So he's not going to include me in important matters like this?

Where did you get this video?

An employee of the business department took this photo to report it to us.

And I've put a lid on this for now.

You just put a lid on this. That's not doing much.

So all one million dishwashers are defective.

Mr. No.

Were you not aware of this defect?

You knew, didn't you? Even before you told me about the audit, right?

And you weren't at headquarters for your regular meeting. Correct?

Right.

I knew it. I knew something was off about this guy too.

A temporary director at a business department...

I was going to sell in three weeks?

I couldn't understand why I had to appoint him.

If you were going to cover it up, you should've done it properly.

You missed your window to fix this disaster.

What on earth do I pay you for?

You take paychecks from me but only cause problems.

How dare you make a fool out of me?

No, sir. That's not what happened.

- We were looking for a solution... - Yes. That's exactly what you did!

Goodness. He's yelling at them. What a nasty temper he has.

(2021 Household Appliances Division New Product Demonstration)

Hey. Come here.

Have you ever taken a bribe from someone?

If you have, come clean now.

Come on, sir. What are you talking about?

Have you or have you not?

- No. - You're telling the truth, right?

- Yes. - Take care of yourself.

We need to stay on the down low when things aren't going well at work.

How long has it been?

About 30 minutes, sir.

What on earth are they talking about?
