1
00:00:11,916 --> 00:00:13,958
Congratulations on joining the company.

2
00:00:14,583 --> 00:00:17,708
Today, you will all take
your first momentous step

3
00:00:17,791 --> 00:00:23,041
as new members of society
and as members of this company...

4
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:25,500
My name is Retsuko.

5
00:00:25,583 --> 00:00:27,750
Now that I've found work
with this company,

6
00:00:27,833 --> 00:00:29,875
my brand new life starts today!

7
00:00:30,875 --> 00:00:33,708
New places, new people to meet...

8
00:00:34,416 --> 00:00:38,375
There's a bright future ahead of me,
filled with hopes and dreams!

9
00:00:39,250 --> 00:00:40,208
Alright!

10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:44,791
This is my first step
as a true member of society!

11
00:00:53,291 --> 00:00:55,875
RAGE

12
00:00:56,583 --> 00:00:57,541
THE BEGINNING OF DESPAIR

13
00:01:36,375 --> 00:01:39,041
FIVE YEARS LATER

14
00:01:49,791 --> 00:01:51,375
I don't wanna go to work.

15
00:02:00,250 --> 00:02:01,875
I'll count to ten.

16
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:03,666
After that, I'll be...

17
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,541
a model citizen.

18
00:02:07,583 --> 00:02:11,791
One, two, three, four, five,

19
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:16,875
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

20
00:02:30,541 --> 00:02:33,208
Got my wallet!
Got my train pass! Got my phone!

21
00:02:33,291 --> 00:02:34,750
That's everything!

22
00:02:37,416 --> 00:02:38,500
No, it wasn't!

23
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:00,666
FOR THOSE WHO WANT A JOB CHANGE

24
00:03:21,666 --> 00:03:26,208
I'm wearing sandals!
This can't be happening.

25
00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:29,958
Don't panic.
Your work shoes are waiting upstairs.

26
00:03:30,833 --> 00:03:32,250
If I see anyone along the way,

27
00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:35,333
I'll just do this weird dance
to keep them looking up.

28
00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:36,916
That should work!

29
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:42,333
The elevator lobby...

30
00:03:42,958 --> 00:03:44,875
Once that group goes...

31
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,375
I'll rush in.

32
00:03:47,875 --> 00:03:51,166
Good morning, Retsuko!

33
00:03:51,708 --> 00:03:54,291
Tsu... Tsunoda?

34
00:03:54,666 --> 00:03:56,750
What are you doing?

35
00:03:56,833 --> 00:03:59,416
Just dancing!

36
00:04:01,916 --> 00:04:05,416
Thanks for organizing the party on Friday!

37
00:04:07,166 --> 00:04:09,458
That stuff is just not my forte,

38
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:14,958
so it was nice of you to do it all for me.

39
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:17,041
It made me think...

40
00:04:17,458 --> 00:04:19,458
You're really...

41
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:24,708
a kind and wonderful person!

42
00:04:24,791 --> 00:04:25,833
She totally looked!

43
00:04:26,375 --> 00:04:28,208
Oh, these sandals?

44
00:04:28,625 --> 00:04:29,875
I'm such an idiot.

45
00:04:29,958 --> 00:04:32,208
I was in such a rush
this morning that I...

46
00:04:33,583 --> 00:04:34,416
Huh?

47
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:37,708
-Let's talk again sometime!
-Hey, wait up!

48
00:04:39,083 --> 00:04:40,875
See you later!

49
00:04:42,875 --> 00:04:44,958
Hey, now!

50
00:04:45,583 --> 00:04:47,125
WOMEN'S CHANGING ROOM

51
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:53,750
There!

52
00:04:56,166 --> 00:04:58,083
Retsuko!

53
00:04:58,166 --> 00:05:00,875
Hey, did you hear the rumor?
Don't tell anyone...

54
00:05:00,958 --> 00:05:04,291
So-and-so did such-and-such.
This did that, and it was, like, whoa!

55
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,416
And it was like, bam!

56
00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:08,375
Isn't that amazing? Isn't it?

57
00:05:10,083 --> 00:05:12,000
Anyway, look at my nephew!

58
00:05:13,083 --> 00:05:15,666
Wow... Very cute...

59
00:05:15,916 --> 00:05:17,958
Are you talking about the "bam"?

60
00:05:18,083 --> 00:05:19,291
No, your nephew.

61
00:05:19,375 --> 00:05:22,541
Isn't he? Thank you!

62
00:05:22,625 --> 00:05:23,708
Good morning.

63
00:05:23,791 --> 00:05:25,333
Morning!

64
00:05:25,416 --> 00:05:30,208
Hey, did you hear the rumor?
Don't tell anyone, but...

65
00:05:31,041 --> 00:05:31,958
Morning, Retsuko.

66
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:34,250
Oh, hi, Fenneko.

67
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:36,541
It's morning and I'm tired already.

68
00:05:36,625 --> 00:05:38,833
I just ran into Tsunoda downstairs.

69
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:40,541
Tsunoda...

70
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:42,541
I hate that girl.

71
00:05:42,625 --> 00:05:43,458
Really?

72
00:05:43,916 --> 00:05:45,291
I'm not fond of her, either.

73
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:48,416
I'm following her online, though.

74
00:05:48,833 --> 00:05:51,666
Based on my analysis,
there's a pattern here.

75
00:05:51,958 --> 00:05:53,083
A pattern?

76
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:56,916
She uploads photos
as if she's an idol.

77
00:05:57,250 --> 00:05:58,458
Take a look.

78
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,208
Selfie, dessert, latte art.
Selfie, dessert, latte art.

79
00:06:02,666 --> 00:06:06,375
Selfie, dessert. Selfie, dessert.
Selfie, selfie, her bare thighs.

80
00:06:06,916 --> 00:06:10,625
She posts a thigh pic
once every 13 days, without fail.

81
00:06:11,208 --> 00:06:12,083
I'll say it again.

82
00:06:12,541 --> 00:06:15,458
-Selfie, dessert, latte art. Selfie--
-Yeah, I get it.

83
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,125
It's not the drink she's showing off here.

84
00:06:18,208 --> 00:06:19,500
It's her thighs.

85
00:06:19,583 --> 00:06:20,458
You see?

86
00:06:21,666 --> 00:06:24,125
She posted a picture
of her legs again on Saturday -

87
00:06:24,458 --> 00:06:26,541
three days earlier
than her usual pattern.

88
00:06:26,791 --> 00:06:29,583
She must have found a man
she wanted to show this to.

89
00:06:29,916 --> 00:06:32,583
I highly suspect
it was at Friday's office party.

90
00:06:32,666 --> 00:06:35,166
Oh, good morning, Fenneko!

91
00:06:35,583 --> 00:06:36,666
Good morning.

92
00:06:37,250 --> 00:06:38,833
Hey, did you get your nails done?

93
00:06:38,916 --> 00:06:40,166
Oh! That's right!

94
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:42,208
I went to a new place.

95
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,291
Wow. They look really good.

96
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:47,708
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

97
00:06:48,583 --> 00:06:49,875
Sure, OK, fine.

98
00:06:50,416 --> 00:06:52,500
The office is wearing me down already,

99
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:55,500
but I went through this
plenty of times in college.

100
00:06:56,416 --> 00:07:00,583
This is the real battlefield.
My accounting department office!

101
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,916
A place where monsters
known as bosses exist.

102
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,333
And ruling at the top of the monsters

103
00:07:07,416 --> 00:07:08,833
is the big boss,

104
00:07:08,916 --> 00:07:11,333
Director Ton!

105
00:07:25,458 --> 00:07:27,416
My desk is dusty.

106
00:07:27,833 --> 00:07:29,958
My vase hasn't got any flowers in it!

107
00:07:30,041 --> 00:07:32,875
And the humidifier's empty!

108
00:07:32,958 --> 00:07:35,666
Would you like me
to refill the humidifier, sir?

109
00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:38,375
We can't have your throat
getting irritated, can we?

110
00:07:38,666 --> 00:07:41,750
It's 8:57 now.
Work starts in three minutes.

111
00:07:42,208 --> 00:07:43,875
Whose turn was it today?

112
00:07:43,958 --> 00:07:46,750
It was... let's see...

113
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:49,416
-Retsuko.
-Huh?

114
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:51,791
Isn't it your turn on Mondays?

115
00:07:54,375 --> 00:07:56,083
Sorry, sir! I'll do it right now!

116
00:07:56,166 --> 00:07:58,666
You've got two minutes and 30 seconds!

117
00:08:04,416 --> 00:08:05,791
I'm all done.

118
00:08:07,708 --> 00:08:10,750
Well, I'll get back to work now.

119
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,166
Tea...

120
00:08:13,541 --> 00:08:14,375
Huh?

121
00:08:15,083 --> 00:08:16,250
Tea!

122
00:08:17,208 --> 00:08:18,208
What?

123
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:22,083
Get me... some tea.

124
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:24,333
That's part of your job, too.

125
00:08:24,958 --> 00:08:26,541
For the women, that is!

126
00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:38,666
Here you are.

127
00:08:40,791 --> 00:08:42,083
If you'll excuse me...

128
00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:47,375
This is basically hot water.

129
00:08:47,458 --> 00:08:49,416
Retsuko, remake it this instant!

130
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,291
Nah, let her go. It's cute, isn't it?

131
00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:56,208
Incompetent women might be annoying,

132
00:08:56,291 --> 00:08:58,791
but they're better than
the competent ones, right?

133
00:09:12,125 --> 00:09:14,208
Pushing us around when we can't fight back

134
00:09:14,458 --> 00:09:16,333
Neanderthal knuckle-dragging
Chauvinist pig!

135
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:18,583
Looking at your face just makes me sick

136
00:09:18,916 --> 00:09:21,000
How can any person be such a dick?!

137
00:09:21,291 --> 00:09:25,291
Shitty boss!

138
00:09:25,916 --> 00:09:28,833
Shitty boss!

139
00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:40,458
After I count to ten,

140
00:09:40,833 --> 00:09:42,916
I'll be a mild-mannered employee.

141
00:09:50,833 --> 00:09:53,000
-I'm impressed, Retsuko.
-Huh?

142
00:09:55,375 --> 00:09:58,083
I would have flipped my lid
on Director Ton back there.

143
00:09:58,958 --> 00:10:02,166
Yeah, but it was partly my fault
for forgetting.

144
00:10:02,250 --> 00:10:03,708
What are you saying?

145
00:10:03,791 --> 00:10:07,791
Prettying up his workspace
isn't part of our job.

146
00:10:08,083 --> 00:10:10,875
Can't you get fired for that
kind of power harassment?

147
00:10:11,291 --> 00:10:13,250
"My sincerest apologies.

148
00:10:13,666 --> 00:10:16,125
My style of leadership was too forceful."

149
00:10:16,583 --> 00:10:20,208
He could get away with it
and wouldn't even be demoted.

150
00:10:20,291 --> 00:10:22,666
You'd be putting more at stake
by reporting it.

151
00:10:22,750 --> 00:10:24,208
It's not that easy.

152
00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:26,416
Thanks for the internet wisdom.

153
00:10:27,208 --> 00:10:31,708
OK, sure. But isn't work
unreasonable to begin with?

154
00:10:31,791 --> 00:10:34,291
Kissing up to the bosses
just a bit will...

155
00:10:34,375 --> 00:10:36,375
Haida, you kiss up a lot.

156
00:10:36,458 --> 00:10:39,583
What? It's just standard office politics.

157
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:42,958
Oh, amazing!

158
00:10:44,250 --> 00:10:47,625
I just love golf!
Can I go with you next time?

159
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,291
Sure, I don't see why not!

160
00:10:50,375 --> 00:10:53,041
Really? I would love to!

161
00:10:53,125 --> 00:10:55,000
Pork noodles! Extra pork!

162
00:10:55,375 --> 00:10:58,666
Wow, you're just like a pro!

163
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:00,166
I'm gonna get a drink.

164
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,208
-Me too.
-Me three.

165
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:31,041
Wow... Those two
really have their stuff together.

166
00:11:31,125 --> 00:11:32,833
Yeah. They're cool.

167
00:11:32,916 --> 00:11:36,416
Marketing Director Gori and
the president's secretary, Miss Washimi.

168
00:11:36,833 --> 00:11:38,875
They both look real talented.

169
00:11:38,958 --> 00:11:41,708
I heard that even the president
is no match for Washimi.

170
00:11:41,791 --> 00:11:43,708
The type of woman Director Ton hates.

171
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:51,916
Hey, Washimi, to tell you the truth,
walking this way hurts my back.

172
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,958
Gori... We must not show
any signs of weakness at the office.

173
00:11:58,708 --> 00:12:00,333
I know a good chiropractor.

174
00:12:00,833 --> 00:12:01,833
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

175
00:12:01,916 --> 00:12:04,791
Director Ton,
I have a bit of a favor to ask...

176
00:12:04,875 --> 00:12:07,041
Could you look over this paperwork?

177
00:12:07,375 --> 00:12:09,833
Huh? Oh, yeah. Sure, sure.

178
00:12:10,291 --> 00:12:12,250
Sorry I couldn't get this in on time.

179
00:12:12,666 --> 00:12:16,333
Don't sweat it.
I'll make sure it gets done.

180
00:12:22,166 --> 00:12:23,833
Well, should we head back?

181
00:12:24,250 --> 00:12:25,333
Yeah, let's go.

182
00:12:33,666 --> 00:12:35,125
You don't look busy.

183
00:12:36,125 --> 00:12:37,916
Deal with these.

184
00:12:41,833 --> 00:12:43,916
Thanks, missy!

185
00:12:47,916 --> 00:12:49,041
Want me to help?

186
00:12:50,958 --> 00:12:52,125
It's fine.

187
00:12:54,375 --> 00:12:56,375
I'm impressed, Retsuko.

188
00:13:01,791 --> 00:13:03,416
Oh, my goodness!

189
00:13:03,666 --> 00:13:06,291
You're not going home yet? Poor you!

190
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:11,125
Well, I have to go and pick up
my kid from daycare,

191
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,875
so bye-bye!

192
00:13:13,958 --> 00:13:15,500
See you tomorrow.

193
00:13:26,875 --> 00:13:28,583
Maybe I'll get something to drink.

194
00:13:28,666 --> 00:13:30,375
TEA ROOM

195
00:13:38,333 --> 00:13:40,125
My name is Retsuko.

196
00:13:41,208 --> 00:13:42,875
Twenty-five years old and single.

197
00:13:43,291 --> 00:13:44,708
A Scorpio, blood-type A.

198
00:13:46,750 --> 00:13:49,833
There are probably tons
of office girls like me out there.

199
00:13:51,625 --> 00:13:54,875
But I have a secret

200
00:13:54,958 --> 00:13:56,375
that no one can know about.

201
00:13:56,458 --> 00:13:57,333
KARAOKE

202
00:13:59,041 --> 00:14:01,500
Welcome. For one?

203
00:14:11,625 --> 00:14:13,708
End of the world
Karaoke all alone

204
00:14:13,791 --> 00:14:16,125
Heal all the pain from my office job

205
00:14:16,208 --> 00:14:18,375
Wake up in the morning
And do it all again

206
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,958
Selling my soul
'Cause I'm a corporate slave

207
00:14:22,875 --> 00:14:25,250
Choke on my rage!

208
00:14:27,125 --> 00:14:31,541
Choke on my rage!

209
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:36,416
Here's the stuff you ordered.

210
00:14:38,666 --> 00:14:40,500
I didn't order anything.

211
00:14:41,041 --> 00:14:43,041
