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 couldnât make it today, because of work.
First,
I'd like to say thank you for everyone
who came to help us the other day.
and,
Isn't Mr. Lee good looking?
Yes!
He's also smart.
You graduated from military academy, right?
People like him are in a union?
Military academy?
What year are you?
I was in the 49th.
Then, you must know Park Hyun-su.
He's been there since 1985 as a headmaster.
Yes.
I served under him when he was a general.
Well, let me think, he was in the special force,
then he moved to the 21th division,
then he served as special force captain before going up to the academy.
I went to his nephew's wedding.
I remember that he really liked deodeokju, did you know?
I don't really know-
You said you graduated military academy, how come you know less than I do?
You should know what your superior likes.
Mister!
Someone's looking for you over there.
Me?
He'd know me if you tell him my name.
I saved you.
He brought you a drink when you have to go back to work?
He's been talking my ears off about that military academy stuff.
I assume he used to be a lieutenant.
Lieutenant?
He had been a sergeant.
The most powerful man he's ever met in his life is that general he talks about.
Powerless people are attracted to power.
He doesn't remember his wife's birthday, but
he remembers when the general got promoted.
You made me come here today,
because of my background in military, right?
Yes.
You knew?
I thought you were slow in that kind of thing.
Your presence here gives them pride and assurance.
Is it right to take advantage of
people's low self-esteem?
Even your branch gets more attention because they have you as a manager.
Whether it's a vanity or servility, we should use it to our advantage.
What are you doing here?
What is all this?
Pack everything and leave.
Who's that?
You guys brought a lot, huh?
Hey, who said you could drink here?
Clear the area now!
What do you think you are doing in a park?
What are you doing?
Are you in charge?
Someone reported you for disturbance of peace and disorderly conduct.
Someone reported?
There is no residential area around here.
There are other groups drinking and singing, why are you on us?
Do we look like an easy target?
It's not that-
You bastard,
Which department are you from?
Who sent you here?
Huh?
Yi Chun-sik sent you?
Did captain Cho send you?
This is political surveillance, isn't it?
I am going to have everyone from the director to chief to lose their jobs.
Apologize to these people and get lost.
Now!
I am sorry!
There has been a misunderstanding.
Little punk came here to extort us?
I was going to teach him a lesson,
you beat me to it.
He's not your match.
What are you doing, Dong-man? Go ahead.
He could have been here because of a complaint.
Maybe.
Then why did you-
He can sue me if he wants.
You could have just talked to him nicely.
Nicely?
How?
Should I have kissed his ass and bribe him?
City pays contract laborers $200 a person,
but these people get $100.
Most of them are over sixty.
Everyday, they run about the city, carrying 30 lbs of garbage.
Their daily meals constitute instant ramens gobbled up on street.
In winter, they have to break up frozen garbage one by one.
Drenched in garbage stench,
they still have to wash the garbage truck before calling it a day.
There isn't a wash room.
There is a place to wash car, but not a place to wash body.
They can't take a bus because of the smell.
I told you the most powerful person he knows is the general when he was in the army.
That's the only time he could breathe in the smell of power.
To those guys,
even the lowest level of government officers are like kings.
For them, just gathering here is like risking a life.
I said to them,
you don't have to treated like garbage just because you are garbage men.
You can get what you deserve if you gather together to raise power.
You can take a hot shower and go home.
Boss?
We don't negotiate with boss.
We can bring in the mayor and have him sign the contract.
You have that kind of power.
After I said all that,
Do you think I'd be bowing down to one policeman in front of them?
Would you have done that, Mr. Lee?
You are deflecting.
Don't you feel sorry to that policeman?
Because you should!
If I am sorry,
does that make what I did go away?
If it does,
then I am sorry.
Yes.
I cancel the contract.
If you empty all the display shelves,
It will affect sales.
It will look bad to customers.
We also have to pay a termination fee.
I am not as smart as you guys
but I know that.
So you will risk the loss just to get rid of us?
When did the union care about the company's loss?
I had no idea.
Mr. Koo!
They took away our promoters.
Everyone!
Let's go inside.
Let's go.
Is this the power of a general union you praised so much?
Sumi fired that lady right after Fourmis canceled the contract with them.
Mr. Lee.
You seem to be angry at me, more than at Fourmis.
Am I right?
Yes.
I am angry.
Let's hear it.
People at Sumi told me that they were going to give her a job at Sumi
if Fourmis sent her back to Sumi.
For her-
it's like losing a life.
To you
maybe it was a great chance to test the power of your general union.
Excuse me, it's time for Mr. Koo to do dialysis.
Don't you have to go back to work?
Mr. Koo's not a clever one.
You know.
He's more like those kids who study really hard but never get a good grade.
What are you trying to say?
Don't be too harsh on him.
He's working hard.
If we were living in the world where working hard was enough,
I wouldn't have started a union.
And Fourmis union
has no intention of being Mr. Koo's lab rat.
Is he going away just like that?
Still, he's gorgeous.
It's so unfair!
I told you so.
You are doing this irregularly when you have to do it four times at fixed times.
Be a good boy.
You want me to call Mr. Sung here to spank you?
Come on.
Is this a pollack or a brick?
How long does it have to stay in a freezer to be frozen like this?
Are you friends with the supplier?
Is that why you accept something like this?
No.
I am going to have to go ballistic on them.
Take this.
And move some boxes of bananas over there.
That's a job for the produce department.
I think you should at least do that.
Didn't Mr. Joo help you get a job here too?
I knew some rich kids when I was in school-
but none of them were generous like Mr. Joo.
I wouldn't be here if I had a friend like him when I was young.
I am just jealous.
If I had someone who looked after me as he does for you-
I wouldn't have minded licking his butt.
Don't you think so?
I need to go in now.
Joo-Hwang!
Going home now?
Yes.
It's late.
Well, take care then.
Take care then.
Hey.
You are crazy.
Are you out of your mind?
I had no idea.
Hey!
Cancel the employment now!
What's with you?
Is your husband asking for a divorce?
I never liked that you were living in that rat hole.
You are a patient.
You can die from infection doing a dialysis in a place like that.
Hey, she's talking crap about your building.
How is this even possible?
The torturer and the tortured.
How can they stay in the same space, breathing same air?
You-
Can you forgive him?
Can you stay calm in front of him?
That guy and I have no business together.
Was I tortured by him?
I was tortured by the government, not by him.
What's the use of getting mad at a knife instead of the person holding it?
You are just a person.
Human mind doesn't work like that.
Also,
stop doing the union work.
You don't even know when you will drop dead.
Other guys moved on with their lives.
Why are you clinging to it as if you were a martyr or something?
Hey.
Say something.
Ko-shin's life is up to Ko-shin only.
That's right.
You should have told me that ten years ago.
Then I could have slipped out with others.
But now, I am the only one left, so it'd be too conspicuous if I leave.
Are you going senile?
Hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey!
It's nothing.
Never mind.
Stop it, it's more difficult this way.
It's fine.
I'm doing this for me, not you.
Right.
Does it still hurt?
When it rains.
I don't have a severe disease like you.
Don't worry.
Take care of yourself.
Hey, when we were in college,
when we finally took off that uniform and drank,
we thought we were all grown up.
We were so young.
Ko-shin.
then,
we were so young.
Hey-
My friend has a Mercedes,
I will borrow it and make a wedding car for you.
And,
my dad knows someone who does hotel business in Guam,
he promised to give you a suite.
Kang-min.
Do you know what the new manager said to me?
I told him I was engaged.
He asked me what I'd do if you said you liked my fiance.
What?
I mean, it can happen, right?
What will you do if Mr.Joo said he liked your girl?
Kang-min
would never do that.
Right. Let's hope so.
How on earth would you say no to him?
Considering all the things he's done for you.
Am I wrong?
Is he out of his goddamn mind?
You let him talk like that?
You should have kicked his ass.
Yeah. I was angry.
I was, but-
I thought about what he said.
I wasn't angry at him.
Then?
Everything he said is true.
I was angry at myself.
You are talking crazy, do you know that?
Hwang Jun-cheol!
You talk this kind of crap to me one more time, then we're over!
What?
We are not allowed to join?
Of course you can.
I was going to have a talk with you guys.
I just didn't expect to get so many applications at once.
All the cashiers have joined, no?
I heard that they are planning to rotate customer service section and cashiers.
We've been through sales and cashier sections before getting here.
If they rotate sections, it's not fair for us.
Sorry,
can I ask you where you heard that rumor?
Why?
Were you guys trying to keep it secret?
See,
he only has cashiers' interest in mind, because they are in the union.
We didn't form the union to discriminate non-union members-
Whatever,
we need to protect our rights.
We are in now, right?
When we did industrial action with union vests, one of them joined.
That's right.
They got the full wage too.
I understand you are upset, but
the union cannot be selective.
We've talked about this before.
How about we have a vote about accepting people from customer service?
That would work!
Good idea!
We can't.
What do you mean we can't?
We can't let them in.
We will get more power if we have more members-
Don't take this so lightly because it's not your business.
Right.
When we were doing all that hard work, they didn't give a damn about it.
Now they want to join?
They just want to take advantage of our work!
How much hard work did we do?
Stop exaggerating.
Young-shil!
How can you talk to me like that?
Calm down.
Stop it guys.
She can't talk to me like that.
When you first asked me to join the union,
I couldn't even imagine a thing like this.
Because everyone is upset with the company,
I thought we'd get teamed up real tight and fight the company.
It's depressing.
We never even had a chance to really fight.
The company kept using dirty tricks.
Maybe we are doing something wrong.
None of us has any experience.
We've got to show them how much power we have.
We have to show them the company won't survive without us.
What are you suggesting?
You can just go on strike just because you want.
It might be illegal.
It's not that I want to do-
but the company is taking every measure there is-
Do you get weekends off?
Sorry?
Ah, yes.
I have weekends off.
How many hours do you work a day?
Did you find this job through a service contractor firm?
I hope you'd get paid the full amount. There are so many scammers.
Was it awkward?
What?
It wasn't awkward, was it?
What was awkward?
Did I smile too much?
He'd have found me strange.
Mr. Koo.
Should I have pretended not to know him?
Would he have thought that everything's okay now because I smiled?
Should I have cursed at him?
Then, I'd have looked too emotional.
Maybe..
I should have crawled between his legs.
Then,
Would he have realized what he did to me?
Mr. Lee.
What do you think, Mr. Lee?
See, this is nice. Isn't it?
It's better for both of us.
I ride wakeboard at Chungpyung these days.
Have you tried?
What is a wakeboard?
You know, a board pulled by motor boat.
The one like jet-ski, right?
I heard it's super difficult.
You must be really good.
I was too stressed out because of my kids, so friend of mine recommended.
It's really exhilarating to ride on water.
What happened with your kids?
I have a boy and a girl-
You don't have to worry about a girl as long as she's pretty.
The problem is the boy.
He does well in most subjects, but he's so bad at math.
It ruins his grade.
Ko-shin.
You go to Seoul University.
How did you study?
I just did what teachers told me to do.
Not those.
Smart kids always have their little secret method.
I know there is!
As for me,
I collected all the problems that'd come out in the exam-
Okay.
What else?
When you study math,
you have to be organized and write clearly. so you don't get confused later.
You shouldn't write messy.
My son's bad at that.
He's so disorganized.
It's very important.
Right on.
I should tell my son about that tonight.
Let's get back to work then.
I knew that, until I give him the answer he wants,
he wouldn't stop the torture.
Even though I knew that-
I wanted him to like me.
I would have wiggled if I had a tail.
What drives me crazy is-
it was not a fake affection to escape my predicament,
but it was a sincere yearning.
Desperately-
I longed for his affection.
Do you want to know who that is?
That guy did this to me.
I waited twenty years for this day.
What kind of expression should I have on me if I see him?
I worried so much.
What if he doesn't recognize me?
What if he had died in an accident?
I worried about that bastard.
Yes.
Su-in.
Yes.
It's not just me-
your father-in-law is not well either.
You should take your family back.
Don't you think what you did is wrong?
How can you be so distant to your own family?
I am sorry.
I understand.
The reprimand of my mother-in-law
felt warm for some reason.
I wanted to go back.
Leave behind everything here
and go back to normal life.
I've heard that illegal dismissals of contract workers have risen in other branches
and people who opposed have been sent away.
It's not just Il Dong branch's problem.
It seems to me-
the company takes us as a fool.
Why don't we go on strike?
Just to screw them.
It's not so easy to go on strike.
We have to hold a vote among all the members,
and we have get an OK from the union chair,
How could ever go on strike if we fret over everything?
Members are not happy these days.
If we go on strike,
then we might be able to pressure the company into taking an action.
What the company wants is that
we just tire ourselves and give up.
I know you've been working hard, but let's wait a little.
We need to discuss with the headquarter too.
We talked about this before.
I told you I would take care of you guys.
All I asked was not to join the union.
Yeah, you did-
but after we heard about the rotation, we couldn't just sit on our hands.
What?
What-
rotation?
Customer service section.
I heard we'll get transferred to cashier section.
You are the manager, why are you asking me?
You didn't hear about it.
Mr. Sung mentioned it.
There'll be an official announcement soon.
Rotation?
We should be squashing the union-
not helping them grow.
I mean,
What the hell is your plan?
What are you yelling at me for?
Besides, when people are joined in solidarity,
you can't break that from outside.
You have to put a nail inside and smash it at once.
Are you saying that you will use the customer service people as a nail?
If it doesn't work then screw it.
The union is talking about going on strike.
You can't stop people from joining them.
When the union members are missing work for strike,
who'd want to be working?
I can't believe you can't see through that.
Even the union leader stopped by at the store earlier.
The high and mighty finally came, huh?
It was only a while ago when you had your nose in the air.
You guys were the one who cast us aside.
Just because you'd joined the union before we did, it doesn't make you better than us.
What did you just say?
Folks, our organizer is trying to talk.
As you all know,
the company is still refusing to pay the wage
and is continuing to oppress the members openly.
That's why
we want to know your opinions.
We want to know what you think about going on strike.
Strike?
Really?
In order to take a strike action,
we must fulfill the conditions set by labor laws.
And after that, we also have to get the majority vote from the whole Fourmis union.
Only then we get to go on strike.
If most of us say yes, then are we really going on strike?
We'd like to discuss the possibility, ma'am.
We're not saying we'll do it right now.
Let's just do it!
The company has always stopped us from working, let's stop them from working this time.
Yes.
I'm in.
Aye.
How about we resume the meeting tomorrow?
To give them some time to think about.
Let's get together again tomorrow at lunch,
take a vote on this matter.
Is it really okay?
I don't know.
Alright. Don't wait outside. I will call you when I get there.
Come downstairs when I call you.
I have another call coming in. I will call you later.
Yes.
Mr. Lee?
This is Chung Min-cheol.
What is this about?
We could have met at this office.
You are always like this.
Take a seat please.
Mr. Lee.
I don't hate you.
I am not only your superior but older too.
But I talk formally to you all the time, don't I?
Please take a seat.
It sounds as if
you talk rudely to people who are younger and of lower status.
I guess it can look that way.
I do my best to be respectful though.
I guess I could try harder.
Mr. Lee.
Then from tonight, I will talk informally to you.
I think you are a swell fellow, Su-in.
You are a man.
Really great.
But, I, um, I am not like you.
I am not as upstanding as you are.
I am just-
just an ordinary Joe.
In your eyes,
I know how pathetic I look.
I became your superior only because I started working here first.
We all know that.
I am a nobody.
I'm not educated well.
My parents are even more uneducated.
I'm just holding onto such a pathetic life desperately.
I mean,
you don't need to get mad at such a pathetic person.
I am not angry at you.
I know you are angry at me for ordering you to fire the workers.
Do you think I enjoy firing people?
I didn't order it you know.
My boss told me to do it.
I'd have lost my job if I didn't do it.
What else could I have done?
Just as you guys are fighting to keep your jobs,
I am also
trying to keep my job.
That's just it.
So stop being angry at me-
Do you think I am doing this
because I am angry?
Laws are meant to be followed.
You shouldn't treat people bad.
Similarly, we should get paid for our labor.
And we should get compensated for our sacrifices.
Tell me while you are doing the union activities,
not once you were motivated by personal feelings.
The world doesn't go around
like a military training where everything is planned
and you know where and how enemies will come at you.
The longer you and I fight,
who's going to be affected more?
It's going to be the employees who have less money but more hardships than us.
It's the company that's dragging out this fight.
Right.
You are capable enough to live on without accepting bribe from others.
but see who else can live like you?
Most of them can't afford to be upright.
I am sure you too beat and yelled at others in the army.
I didn't.
Okay, fine. Okay.
Let's say you've lived
honestly,
and honorably.
But, many people can't live the way you do.
Should they be condemned because they couldn't live up to your standard?
Because they are so bad, should they be judged by you?
A guy like you
makes the rest of us bad guys.
Even though they joined the union for now, but
most of them would be happy to get some money and get done with the union stuff.
Does that make them incorrigible bastards?
Life is already hard enough.
Let us not push others to the edge of cliff.
Let's get done with this.
I heard you hadn't dropped the charge.
If you drop the charge,
I'll pay you guys all the deducted wage
and do my best to protect you from unfair labor practices.
What you just said.
Can you put that in official writing?
If you don't have anything else to say, I will get going.
Mr. Lee.
Isn't it almost your daughter's first birthday?
I am sorry.
It's late. You should get going.
How are you?
Come on.
Are you okay?
Sorry, Kang-min.
Don't mention it.
Why did he drink so much?
Jun-cheol.
Hey, suspension!
Try to get up.
Told you not to call me that!
Joo Kang-min.
Mr. Joo!
You can call me that.
You can do it.
Did something happen at work today?
He looked so upset.
Nothing happened.
Can you get the door for me please?
Mr. Joo!
What are you doing here?
I came to see you of course.
Kang-min,
you guys are in the union together, right?
What?
Um.
Did Jun-cheol tell you about it?
Honestly, I'd have tried to talk him out of it if he weren't doing it with you.
But you are in this together.
Being in the union is not something dangerous.
The media only show the extreme cases.
Kang-min.
Jun-cheol talks about this sometimes when he gets drunk.
When Jun-cheol's mother worked as a housemaid in your house.
Yeah, that was when we were kids.
Jun-cheol's mom got the watch you'd thrown away and gave it to Jun-cheol.
And Jun-cheol took it to school to show off
but was humiliated when it got known that the watch had been yours.
He still talks about that?
I was such an asshole to tell other kids about it.
I guess I had done really big damage.
No.
He said he was grateful.
He was grateful that you'd told him it was ok to get angry.
Hwang Jun-cheol!
I know you are mad at me.
I know I did you wrong.
Why are you not yelling at me?
He said he'd been too much a coward to get mad.
But now he got brave enough to get mad, because of what you'd said to him.
He's got a worse temper than I do now.
I get scared.
If I get mad,
does it make what happened go away?
Does it make the watch mine?
You can get mad!
Get angry!
Now!
Get angry and yell at me!
What's the matter with you?
Am I making things complicated again?
Dad, you are here.
Grandpa!
Hi, Sang-jun.
Dad, keep an eye on him for sec.
Why did you come this way?
I am in a rush. I need to go.
You are
the son who's terrible at math.
whose name is-
Was it Jang-won?
Ah, yes. Hello.
He has an emergency,
so he asked me to babysit the boy.
I know I am not done with today's shift yet-
This is the grandson, huh?
Time flies, eh?
Dad, I will get going. It won't take long.
Sang-jun, have fun with grandpa.
I'll be right back.
What a good looking kid.
Right?
He's my grandson but still-
I'm sure you can't understand what I went through then.
Never
will you be able to understand.
Unless you get tortured too.
Sang-jun.
Do you want to see something interesting?
I have a hole
in my belly.
You want to see?
Mr. Koo.
What the hell are you doing?
Mr. Lee.
What's the real reason?
It's so unlike you.
You are pushing for strike as if it were overdue homework.
The company has been working
much harder than I thought they would.
The fight is being dragged on for so long
and we are all exhausted.
Are you talking about the members or yourself?
Mr. Lee.
You want to get it done with, eh?
You want to run away.
Yes.
I want to get it over with.
What's the matter?
Why so hurry?
Because I don't want to end up like you.
Me?
Why?
What's wrong with me?
You are miserable.
Does it matter?
Yes.
It matters.
I want to sleep soundly.
I want to taste food.
I want to take my baby to a beach-
I want to go grocery shopping with my wife-
I want to eat with my family.
I am afraid that if I can't get this done now-
I won't be able to get out ever.
Who wants to go on strike?
Anyways,
if we go on strike, don't we have to do hunger strike?
We will try hard to avoid such things.
What's that?
She tried on her wedding dress?
It's pretty.
Let me see.
It's beautiful.
This is why girls have to get married while still young.
Hey, Jun-cheol,
How about I do her makeup for the wedding?
I'll do it for free.
I will ask her.
She looks so beautiful.
Who's beautiful?
That's my girlfriend.
Give it back.
This is your girl?
That you've been dating for long time.
She's cute.
She looks a bit saucy though.
She must know Mr. Joo well too, no?
Does she also know
that you are Kang-min's bitch?
I am sure she wouldn't mind though.
Considering all the things he's done for her boyfriend.
Who knows?
Maybe she asked Mr. Joo to take care of you and in return...
Jun-cheol, don't!
Stop it!
I'll kill you!
What's wrong?
I was just saying.
You going nuts like that makes me think maybe it's true.
Cut it out!
Considering what's happened-
someone needs to take responsibility.
Mr. Joo.
You need to leave the store.
What do you mean leave?
He's not going anywhere.
Won't they go on strike, if you push them too hard?
Then I would be able to get rid of all of them at once.
We got the majority vote of members and now can take a strike action.
The date for strike is-
The real reason you came to see me is to find a way to survive.
What's going on here?
As the purpose gets clearer,
the instinct becomes sharper.
Fellow members!
Let's kick the rest of them out!
