Episode 10

Mr. Lee.

You should drop this.

Sorry?

This charge-

The charge against Fourmis, you should drop it.

I can't do that.

Excuse me, Mr. Lee.

What's the problem?

They said they would pay the wage if you drop the charge.

Then it's done, right?

What do you mean it's done?

Do you see this?

Prosecutors have lots of work to do.

You see the files over there?

Those cases worth almost five million dollars in total.

But this?

They'd get couple hundred dollars fine at best.

Do I need to waste my time on this?

No matter how big a fine is,

Shouldn't they get punished if the committed crime?

Even a small punishment,

would mean something to my union members.

Mr. Lee.

Are you messing with me?

When you do your union activities in the future,

are you confident that you won't do a single illegal thing?

I will be watching you.

Okay?

Mr. Lee.

your people are not getting their money because of your pride.

It's not because of the company.

It's not about pride,

Shouldn't people be punished when they do something wrong?

our new manager-

Why does it have to be him?

I suddenly miss Kyung-shik.

I am just saying.

By the way, he probably heard about us, right?

What?

So what?

Then, he should know that we beat the company at the hearing.

Let him try. We'll beat him too.

You are making me look like I came here for this.

Did you get a call from the prosecutor yet?

It's about time.

They usually ask you to drop the charge if it's a small case.

Small case?

They have tons of cases to go over-

they want to work on the big cases with lots of money in it.

If you get the call, drop the charge.

Fourmis said they would pay the wage if you drop the charge, right?

How can I believe them?

These guys appealed to the national labor relations just to torture us.

Then, we will sue again.

Who knows?

They might pay.

Right?

It's better to get paid.

If we only get the money that belonged to us in the first place,

what's the meaning of this?

In this fight, you can lose both the lawsuit and the wage,

it's better to get paid at least.

Think of it as a business.

You sell everything you have and only think about your profit.

It seems as if no one can take their eyes off me.

Who's that?

He took Mr. Huh's position.

No wonder I felt something.

I'm sharp like that.

I should go. It's not a good day for me.

What are you doing tomorrow? Do you have time?

We are having a picnic with the guys who came to help last time.

I should go.

I haven't had a chance to say thank you.

Really?

They'd love to have you.

See you tomorrow then.

I will let you know when and where.

He's already left.

Aren't you here to see Mr. Sung?

I am.

But how did you know-

I got caught with work and forgot the time-

Did Mr. Sung leave any message for me?

No, he didn't.

Alright, then-

See you later.

if you have anything to discuss with Mr. Sung, you can talk to me.

Yes,

I am Jung Min-cheol from Il Dong branch, hello.

Did Mr. Sung-

Yes.

Then, if he comes back to the office,

could you tell him that I called?

Mr. Sung. I will handle Il Dong branch. Please have a faith

What's this?

My installment deposit expired few days ago.

I was going to go to vacation with that money,

but I can't really go right now, so you can use it to take care of urgent business.

That's okay, hon. Take it back.

You can pay me back when we are through this.

Then, I will take my vacation gladly.

My face has an oriental charm that works magic in other countries.

Which country were you thinking about?

Is there such country-

Your husband's getting better, right?

Have a heart, Jung-mi.

Thank you-

If the national labor relations take our side, they can't appeal any longer, right?

I don't know.

I am sorry that I put you through this.

It's nothing new.

My life has been hard since the day I was born

I'm used to it.

Let's not worry about it. Let's just win!

For a union organizer, I know so little about it.

I only get help from you and other members.

Still, we could come this far because of you.

That's the guy came to take Mr. Huh's place?

Yes.

Kang-min!

Did you see?

Should he be allowed to work at a market with that face?

I heard he caused lots of troubles at the store he worked before.

They probably hired him because of us.

Aren't you guys having a department happy hour later?

Yup.

Why aren't you eating?

Should we have gone to a barbeque place?

Maybe because I grew up in ghetto,

I don't feel comfortable at a fancy place.

It's my treat, so eat up.

I heard your wages got cut in half.

That sucks!

Because I didn't get proper education,

I may talk and act like a jerk,

but if I do everything for people on my side.

It's not hard.

Just do as I tell you to do, okay?

I am not going to ask for something big.

Just do what I tell you to do,

and even when I ask for something difficult,

just say yes to my face, then it's done.

Hwang Jun-cheol.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

I can't drink a lot.

Can I have it here?

If you understood me, just take this, you little shit.

You are good.

Come on.

Have a drink, guys.

Mister.

Take this flower.

Is this for me?

Yes. Take it.

Thank you.

Mr. Koo.

I think everyone's here. Should we start?

Who's keeping the liquor?

Mr. Pung and Mr. Seo.

Will those two be able to control that alcoholic?

I'm nervous too, but-

He wouldn't make a scene in front of families and kids.

People don't change.

Hey, bud.

Ko-shin!

Nice job here.

Will you take the charge of liquor today?

Me?

I don't trust those guys.

Those people won't get drunk and start causing troubles if you were here.

You know what a big day is today.

That's right!

Only I can protect these babies.

Move!

Would it be okay?

Go away!

What? Don't even look.

He's good.

Trust me.

You tell someone he's bad, then he'll become bad.

Give people a chance to be good and trust them.

Then, they become good.

Hello.

everyone here works hard to keep our streets clean.

My name is Kim In-seok from the West region.

He's trying to make a speech.

Others all shut up!

Pay attention!

Today is a good day.

Let's forget about work and stress, and enjoy ourselves.

Hey, cutie!

Here, handsome!

He looks like me when I was his age.

Hello.

I am Lee Su-in, a union steward for Fourmis Il Dong branch.

Our organizer couldn’t make it today, because of work.

First,
