(Episode 14)
Well?
He isn't picking up.
What's going on?
You lunatic!
Hey. You're late.
Too bad. The room's totally empty.
You jerk.
I was right.
What?
I am a total obstruction to you.
You look really angry today.
You have a strong punch.
How dare you play a joke on me?
You played a joke on the managers first.
A dirty and childish joke.
I just copied what you did.
You think you did something grand, don't you?
You only made the situation worse.
Nothing changes.
We'll see if anything changes...
or not.
(Board Vote for CEO of TQ Retail)
Rejected.
You shouldn't have scheduled any work today!
Are you out of your mind?
I'm sorry.
I felt so embarrassed before the board members.
They lost all their trust in you.
A board meeting for voting...
can be held again after a month.
Until then, prove your worth.
Do something to make up for today's mistake.
Yes, Chairman.
You stopped Director Seo from attending the meeting.
- Yes. - Gosh.
I'm having another headache.
I think you just made a huge trouble.
Gosh, he's mad.
Don't laugh.
You went too far.
Chief Kim, I think you did.
This isn't revenge. You just made him a fool.
This isn't about revenge.
- What? - Then why?
A man like Seo Yul should never run a company.
If he does, what will happen to his employees?
That won't stop him from becoming the CEO.
They'll hold another meeting and vote.
I know. I needed to buy time...
so I could come up with a plan.
Even if it was just a week or a month of time.
Shut it!
I know what you mean,
but you don't have to dig your own grave.
Gosh.
Sir.
I think it's fine.
He didn't do it for revenge.
He was stopping a man like Seo Yul running a company.
What do you think?
What about you, Myung Seok?
Pardon? Well, sure. Yes.
Jae Jun. Thank you.
You're welcome.
I've worked at a convenience store for five years.
Seo Yul really shouldn't run a company.
Part-timers should be paid on time.
They have no benefits.
All they get is their wages.
They get to eat expired gimbap and sandwiches.
You call that benefits?
Speaking of gimbap...
remember how we fought over triangle gimbap?
Well... You know...
I feel like eating a corn dog.
What? He must be crazy.
How dare you call your superior crazy?
Why are our opinions getting ignored?
The company only needs the managers' signatures.
Managers would be okay with the agreement,
but us part-times aren't.
We want the unpaid wages and their apology.
Min Ji, do you think the company will pay...
100,000 dollars of unpaid wages?
They'd rather pay a 1,000-dollar fine.
It's not that simple.
Simple or not, it's our right to be paid.
But the world doesn't work that way.
You're too young to know that.
What does being young have to do with this?
- Excuse me. - Don't talk to me. Leave me alone.
Don't you want to hear what I have to say?
Why are old geezers bothering me so much?
I didn't do anything bother you.
Go hang out with women your age.
Don't bother young people like me.
- Who do you think I am? - You?
You're an old geezer who bothers young women.
Hey, this old geezer works at TQ Group.
I saw you fight with your manager.
I came here to see if I could help you.
(Result of Obtaining Managers' Signature)
I guess this unpaid wage issue is over.
The next biggest problem is fund management.
Yes. Managing the funds is the biggest problem.
If you set this straight, you will have full control.
TQ Cosmetics is the biggest problem.
TQ Grocery is suffering because of them.
You are right.
It's not like the company depends on this. Why?
Well, it's...
Please keep what I say off the record.
Okay, so tell me.
You can turn the page.
(TQ Cosmetics' Taiwan fund managed by Taipan's Bank)
TQ Cosmetics' Taiwan branch. What is this?
50 percent of TQ Cosmetics' fund goes into...
the Taiwan branch.
And the bank which manages the fund is...
(TQ Cosmetics' Taiwan fund managed by Taipan's Bank)
Taipan's Bank.
Yes.
Are they serious?
So none of the other part-timers want this either.
Yes. I'm sure further research will be similar.
You don't care for 60 percent of whatever it may be.
What you are asking for is everything.
Of course. And I do ask for their apologize.
Of course. This is only normal.
But there is no way we can get that.
No one will listen to us.
Even if we make a proper claim,
people only say we are young enough to suffer,
things were harsher before,
and we should be thankful to be young enough to work.
That's all nonsense.
Yes, that is nonsense.
I'm really angry about not getting paid,
but what makes me angrier is...
that they think they have the right to do that to us.
"They are young part-timers and pushovers."
"We can do this to them."
Min Ji, do you think you can gather a lot of...
- part-timers for TQ Grocery? - Why?
In a fight, number is everything.
We can make an argument with enough people.
How many do you need?
The more, the better.
Will 1,000 people be enough?
How can you get 1,000 together?
You're so old.
We all have social media accounts.
I know what social media is. I do it too.
I have a lot of followers.
How many followers do you have? I have 300.
Be honest.
Did you tap into other subsidiaries...
other than TQ Delivery and TQ Retail?
Sending all of the fund over to Taipan's Bank.
You should spill it while I'm still nice.
- Yes. - I knew it.
Things keep on popping out.
There are so many layers here like a cabbage.
And now, the long-awaited second question.
Does the chairman know about this, or doesn't he?
I...
I've done this by myself.
He doesn't know anything...
I was going to believe you if it was just TQ Delivery.
Telling me clumsy lies will only make me angrier.
Tell me.
You are doing this with the chairman.
Do you want to go on another drive with me?
What?
Yes.
I will act like I don't know for a while.
You should stay silent too.
Do not run over to the chairman telling him everything.
- Understood? - Yes.
Darn it, he's so scary.
Investigate Taipan's Bank in more detail.
Yes, sir.
Why does my head hurt so much?
This morning, I heard what Kim Seong Ryong did.
If you give me a permission, I'll take care of him.
No, leave him.
He is only sabotaging what you do.
You should take care of him...
I told you to leave him.
Even when I do, I'll do it my way.
Why? Why?
It's a header! All right.
Move out immediately. Tomorrow.
I will give your monthly rent back.
Why are you telling me to leave so soon?
You are an awful landlord.
You almost made me have a heart attack.
At this rate, you'll really make me sick.
Why would I make you sick?
Revenge or not, you should know your lines.
You are only provoking them!
Oh, that. Our health won't be affected by that.
Don't worry about your health.
There's no use of talking to you.
- You're so annoying. - Talk to me.
- Darn you. - Let's talk.
My gosh, cheer up, will you?
You're too sensitive.
I am not sensitive.
You don't even know anything.
What do I not know?
I wasn't going to tell you,
but you kept on reminding me of Eun Seok.
Why are you bringing Mr. Lee into this?
He went around investigating boldly just like you.
I'm afraid you'll end up like him.
After I heard what happened to him,
I couldn't show my feelings at work because of others,
but do you know how much I cried on the inside?
I was his senior and his friend.
But I couldn't do anything for him.
I couldn't even pick a fight with my bosses.
And if...
If something goes wrong with you,
what will I do then?
Do you think I will be able to work there...
with two burdens in my heart?
Why are you suddenly worried about me?
You're being creepy.
Don't worry about me.
How can I not be worried?
You are going around asking for troubles.
How can I leave you and go somewhere else?
I'm not going anywhere.
Mr. Choo.
Do you trust me?
This is great.
Is this the only place you can work at?
I saw this place on the news.
They don't even pay you right.
Why would you stay here?
If it seems bad, you should leave.
That's for me to decide.
The total is 8 dollars and 45 cents.
You should learn from adults.
Are adults allowed to tell part-timers what to do?
Where are your manners?
Haven't you watched "Kingsman"?
"Manners maketh man."
- Manners are... - Next in line.
I'm not finished.
You won't give me a plastic bag again.
What a jerk.
It's important for them to get money,
but it's more important to not become a bad precedent.
If we ignore this,
other corporations may copy us.
Are you saying we should make this a huge issue...
to not let it become a bad precedent.
And you want to do this with part-timers.
No matter how angry those part-timers are,
do you think they can take a group action?
We barely got the managers to make a move.
It didn't even end well.
That's why we should help them...
make a loud voice.
I feel bad for all part-timers.
They can't even complain anywhere.
If they don't get paid, can't they file...
a complaint to the Ministry of Employment and Labor?
I tried doing that once before.
You can make a case with affiliates and private stores.
However, it's not that easy to make a case...
against a huge corporation.
That's useful when you are up against small businesses.
It's not an easy fight against big names.
Not even for the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
Our country is corporate-friendly.
Is there anything else we can work with?
If you want to make this big, they can file a lawsuit.
Hey, what did you just say?
I said it's the easiest to file a lawsuit.
It's great to put a pressure on them.
It's easy to say that, but it's not easy for...
part-timers to get a lawyer and all that.
No, no. I think this may work.
But even the managers' alliance failed to do so.
Yes. I'm sure they will go after the kids...
and threaten them and everything.
Haven't you thought about this?
They may be stronger than we are. Come on.
They are young.
They've got nothing to fear.
Suing is best.
Many part-timers will report TQ to the authorities.
A few is fine...
but many will be a problem.
We can get off with paying a fine. Don't worry.
We still need to be prepared.
He's in the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
Tell him I sent you.
- Okay. - Bring a gift.
Sure.
If you'll do that for us, we can fight.
Do you think you can? Seriously?
Look at my social media account.
Over 3,000 part-timers already signed up.
Just like that?
How do we get all of their signatures?
People who live far away...
can send in videos with their details.
Let me check if that carries legal weight.
Thank you, Chief.
It won't be an easy fight, Min Ji.
The managers tried and gave up.
I'm positive that we won't. Don't worry.
Helping them won't be a problem.
Will you be able to go all the way?
Yes. I will take this all the way.
I will not back down.
- Okay, Seong Ryong. - Oh, ma'am.
Myung Seok was the one who insisted...
- we sue TQ Group. - Myung Seok?
Yes. He said that was the best way to go ahead.
I see. I'll call you back soon.
Good for him.
Welcome.
Are you Ms. Lee Min Ji?
Yes.
We're from law firm Go and Goo.
We will take care of everything for you.
(TQ Labor Union)
(Mr. Righteous Kim Seong Ryong)
(TQ Delivery to Undergo Restructuring)
There's something I want to know.
I want to know about Seo Yul.
Starting from his prosecutor days.
- Mr. Song. - Yes, sir.
I need you to look into something for me.
Go and Goo?
Yes. A manager called to say they came by.
This Seong Ryong jerk...
Who's the plaintiff?
A female part-timer is representing everyone else.
Is it the bratty, nasty one?
That could only be the reason she's suing.
I'm Kim Da Hye from the Daedong branch.
This video is my signature.
I'm Lee Chae Young from Gwangju.
This video is my signature.
Welcome.
How's your day?
This should cover a semester's tuition.
Take it.
This is money. It's not a letter.
- You're really something. - What?
You should be ashamed.
How annoying.
Hey, kid. Kid.
How dare you talk like that to an adult.
Okay.
No, leave it.
Unbelievable.
Good, good. Well done, Min Ji.
Who gave you the money?
He seemed like an executive from TQ...
but he looked pitiful and his hair was thinning.
I know who that is.
I'll send you his photo.
Upload it with a warning to watch out for him.
In case he visits any other part-timers.
(Beware)
Are you inciting kids instead of working?
- What do you mean? - The part-timers.
I never incited anyone.
You sweet-talked them into taking group action.
That's called inciting.
Kids these days...
are impossible to sweet-talk.
They only act if and when they feel the urge to.
Why are you giving them false hope...
that you can't deliver upon?
You don't get it, do you?
The youth these days can think for themselves.
I'm just being an adult and helping them out.
An adult, my foot.
Make her quit while I'm being nice about it.
You know what'll happen to them if she doesn't.
What? Will you do things your way...
and go after them one by one until they fall?
I'll leave it to your imagination.
I feel sorry for you.
These kids are different. Your way won't work on them.
I warned you.
Their blood is on your hands.
And I will warn you.
If we pull this off,
our dear chairman will end up on TV.
In this pose.
He didn't smile.
Wasn't that funny?
Welcome.
It's you again.
Take the money.
What?
Oh, so you're really high up.
No wonder you were the worst.
Be polite, okay?
Sure, I'll be polite.
You're young and clueless.
I'm sick of hearing that. Get to the point.
You will all just be in trouble.
Focus on yourself.
You live like that if you want.
I'm trying to give you advice.
You have no right to lecture me.
Do you see this bruise?
Do you know how I got it?
TQ Grocery didn't pay me and I had to pay rent.
I was forced to get another job.
Please visit our new karaoke bar.
Shall we have a good time?
Let go of me.
How dare you.
Wherever I go, you adults are the worst.
All you do is take from us teen.
You insult and hit us.
And try to give useless advice...
which you never followed yourselves.
My point is, this world has more immature old people...
than actual decent grown-ups.
I don't want to grow up to be like them.
You're no exception. You could even be worse.
Go away.
I'm not that old.
10,000 dollars...
went from Seong Ryong's account to Ga Eun's.
It says "revival plan bonus".
I think it was to hide who'd sent the money.
I think...
whatever it is you're thinking could be true.
Kim Seong Ryong could have bought her loyalty.
Hong Ga Eun speaking.
Come to my office after work.
Yes, sir.
It's time for Myung Seok's welcome party.
Why didn't you throw a party when I joined?
- We were busy then. - What shall we eat?
Let's eat sashimi!
- Sashimi. - Raw fish.
No thanks, I'm too old for welcoming parties.
- Okay. - Okay, then.
- Let's go without him. - Let's go.
You people are so cold.
I'll remember this, Business Operations.
Hello, Soo Jin.
What?
His breathing suddenly got jagged.
He stabilized shortly before you arrived.
I was so scared.
He looks much better than he did before.
I'm here, Eun Seok.
I'm sorry, Soo Jin.
I didn't visit as often as I should.
Don't say that. I know you're busy.
Are you doing okay?
Yes.
Are you doing okay, Seong Ryong?
Yes, of course.
I read the articles about what you'd done...
to TQ Delivery.
I heard about the revival plan.
You're embarrassing me.
Seeing how TQ Group is run,
I'm sure my husband case was fabricated.
Every day I'm sad...
and angry.
It's always like that.
The truth will be told, right? All of it.
Yes.
It will be told.
Just wait a bit longer.
I know it's difficult.
I'm getting weak-hearted,
so I'm wishing for a miracle.
A miracle that'll set everything right.
I'm not just saying this.
Everything will be set right.
I'll do everything I can to make that happen.
She's right.
We won't give up easily.
Actually, I wanted to come with you.
We haven't seen Chief Lee in so long.
I only thought about visiting him, but never did.
This might sound like an excuse,
but I didn't go because I didn't want to cry.
If we went too, it would've been a nuisance.
Let's just go this weekend, okay?
- Okay. - Is this...
a welcome party or a farewell party?
I'm feeling down. You should just go.
I'll just go home. This is annoying.
- Don't be upset. Sit down. - Come on.
I'll stay if you'll make it fun.
- Let's drink. - Sit down.
- Sit down. - Myung Seok.
You haven't been to a place like this, right?
Well, I don't like soju that much.
Don't they serve single malt?
Let's drink. Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
It tastes like pure alcohol.
Just drink it.
Here. Eat some chicken feet.
What is this?
How can I eat this?
Hey. Just eat it.
It's weird. It's really weird.
Do we always have to work overtime?
I'm really tired.
You complain too much.
We're busy because the audit will start soon.
Why does Chief Kim not at his desk?
He never does his work.
We have another complainer.
Stop complaining.
He's annoying.
I'm not complaining.
He doesn't do Business Operations' work.
Still, he does important work.
So we don't complain about him.
He should transfer to a different department.
What he's doing now is very important.
He's protecting the rights and wages of part-timers.
She's right.
How much unpaid wages are you talking about?
The amount is different for every part-timer.
How much is the hourly wage?
As of 2017,
the minimum wage is 6 dollars and 47 cents.
Goodness. Is that it?
What are you saying?
They get paid 6.50 for working an hour?
Yes.
6 dollars and 50 cents?
Yes. 6 dollars and 50 cents. Minus 3 cents.
But omelet is 8 dollars.
After working 10 full hours,
they only get paid 65 dollars?
Yes.
Working 10 hours and only getting...
This is ridiculous.
We work for a huge corporation,
but most part-timers get paid like that.
It's Myung Seok's welcome party. Let's drink.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Welcome! -Welcome.
Anyway,
let me give you one more chicken foot.
I can't eat that.
Can you eat...
a plate if I asked you to?
All right. I'm sorry.
Do you want pork rinds?
I can eat that.
You guys.
- You're cute. - You're both cute.
That was cute.
(Account Tracking)
(Client Name: Hong Ga Eun)
I can arrest you right now.
No.
It's not what you think.
Then why...
was 10,000 dollars transferred to your account?
It's because I gave them information...
Information?
No, it's not that.
TQ board members' secret account information...
What?
It's not like that.
What have you been doing at TQ Group?
I trusted you.
But you disappointed me.
No, Sir.
I will tell you everything from the beginning.
Tell me the truth.
Don't tell any lies.
Okay, Sir.
(4,256 TQ Grocery Part-timers File...)
(Class Action Suit.)
(The amount of unpaid wages is 13.9 million dollars.)
Why didn't it have a clean finish?
I believe Mr. Kim stirred the part-timers.
The CEO is supporting him.
What?
Unlike the managers,
they have nothing to lose. They'll be adamant.
They'll struggle to get more money...
from us.
The law suit requests...
a public apology from you.
What?
How dare they.
I'll take care of that, sir.
You better...
crush them...
so they'll never rebel again.
You want me to quit?
Min Ji. Think about it.
How can I let you work here?
The company will pressure me.
Did they tell you to fire me?
Why did you have to go and...
Fine. I'll quit.
You were never on my side anyway.
Min Ji.
(Blacklist)
What's this?
Kids nowadays are hard to handle.
They're sensitive to comments.
Get the employees to resolve this issue.
Okay.
The company will pressure them...
like they pressured the managers.
It'll be different this time even if they did.
They won't back down easily since they're young.
You're right. The managers gave up...
because they had personal reasons.
So what's the plan?
I'll find faults in people who find faults in others.
"Find faults in people who find faults in others?"
Yes. Finding faults.
"Finding faults?"
Pinch, pinch.
Gosh.
Pinchy, pinchy?
Goodness.
You should've told me sooner!
Everything you did...
is violation.
Disobeying an order, leaking information,
plus illegal tapping.
Why on earth did you do it?
I made a huge mistake...
by not reporting to you.
But...
I did it because it was the right thing to do.
It's my job to judge what's right...
and fight for the right.
There were people who were fighting in the company.
I wanted to help the weak who were fighting...
against the company.
So? Are you saying what you did was right?
No. It's not like that.
What you told me is all true, right?
Especially about Chief Kim.
Yes. I didn't tell any lies.
Give me all the information you have.
Return to TQ.
Pardon?
- Thank you. - Don't tap.
We must not do that.
He's right.
I shouldn't tap.
But I can't stop.
My hand keeps reaching for it.
Really? Will you have a date with Gwang Sook?
Gosh. Will they finally date?
It's not a date.
We'll just have dinner and watch a movie.
That's a date.
It's finally spring in Sang Tae's life.
I'm jealous.
Gwang Sook is looking forward to the date.
Sang Tae only read about dating in books.
He probably doesn't know what to do.
Well, he'll figure it out as he keeps dating.
It's your first date.
Will you wear something like this?
What's wrong with it?
I'll say it frankly since it's only us here.
You look really bad.
Right? Manager Yoon?
Well... No. You are unique, Sang Tae.
Why did you stutter?
There are many different styles you can find online.
You should search for them.
What? Are you all serious?
I try my best.
- Myung Seok. - Yes?
- Come here for a second. - Why? No.
Come here, you idiot.
Idiot?
Myung Seok, don't you have a lot of clothes?
I don't. I only have one tiny walk-in closet.
Wouldn't it be great...
if you let Sang Tae borrow one of your awesome clothes?
No, I don't have any. It's not even yours.
Even if I did, I don't want to. No.
You have a lot of clothes.
I told you, I don't. No.
My unique style is meant just for me.
What's unique is your disrespectful personality.
Your finger.
- Is it okay now? - What size do you wear?
- Large. - I don't think clothes are the problem.
My goodness, Ha Gyeong's clothes are pretty.
I'm so nervous.
Gwang Sook.
Sang Tae?
She looks better with permed hair.
She looks like Ms. Yoon now.
I don't like Myung Seok's style.
I like his usual nerdy style.
Shall we?
Ha Gyeong.
This is Assistant Manager Yoon Ha Gyeong, my colleague.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Things were awful, weren't they?
- What do you want? - I want mocha.
Is that why you quit?
He was so angry with the headquarters pressuring him.
Unbelievable. Why are they doing this...
to such nice kids?
She's not that nice. She's got a temper.
Hey, stop.
What do I do now? I have all of the signatures.
What they usually do is...
sneak into your social media accounts.
They will alienate you and spread rumors.
- Like spies? - Yes.
They'll come up with everything and anything.
Don't worry about that.
You should keep a track of those spies.
- Yes. - From now,
it's this beautiful lady and my turn.
We will make sure we find fault with these guys.
(Chief Kim)
(Emergency announcement: TQ's spies)
(Tiger, Lion, Manner 1, Manner 2, Manner 3...)
(These are the spies. Don't associate with them!)
Look at this.
Me?
Why? What is it?
Wow, they really know who these spies are.
Min Ji sent us their IP addresses for us to research.
These kids are unbeatable.
If we picked a fight with them, we'd crumble down.
You are in the wrong hands.
What's next?
You mean your mission?
Yes, sure. Mission.
All documents with these words in this note.
- Okay. - Other than Seo Yul,
check Mr. Go and the legal team's office.
Okay, let's move.
(Go Man Geun)
(Documents to be approved)
The pathetic-looking director is on the move.
Delay him for five more minutes.
He's on his way. Get moving.
Why are all the stalls dirty?
Goodness, what is this?
Hey! Someone is in here!
- Are you crazy? - Oh, I guess someone was there.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
What on earth do you think you're doing?
You should do your job!
Darn it.
My gosh.

(Director's Room)
Mission cleared.
Ms. Um.
You should train your team members.
They are so careless when they work. My gosh.
- Did you watch a movie? - What did you eat?
Are you happy? Tell us.
- Was it good? - Hey.
- It was. - Tell us.
He had fun.
Tell us.
Here.
This place is so dusty.
- What is this? - What you asked for.
This is TQ Cosmetics' financial report.
This is somewhat confidential, so it's just for you.
Don't write down your name on this, okay?
Myung Seok.
It took me four hours of scolding from my uncle.
I hate going to their house. Why did I go there?
What? Why? No. What?
Myung Seok.
Everyone, our new guy Myung Seok...
just obtained TQ Cosmetics' confidential report!
- Park Myung Seok! - Stop it.
- New guy! - Park Myung Seok!
- New guy! - New guy!
What are you doing?
- Come on. - You're the best.
Look at this, guys.
TQ Cosmetics' loss is filled by other subsidiaries.
This is so obvious.
Among them, TQ Grocery has been giving the most.
TQ Grocery is such a pushover.
How can they say they have no money to give wages?
They are thugs in every single way possible.
Something like this needs to be caught in the audit.
Come on, guys. You've been here long enough.
This can get cleaned up in a few days.
This report we have will be gone forever.
Gang Sik is so good at cleaning this up.
You have to hurry.
We have to make a use of this while it's valid.
Yes. Let's use it before it's outdated.
- Goodness, this is so much. - Unbelievable.
I should eat this quickly before you take it.
You won't find this one.
Is it useful?
This is more than useful.
You hit the jackpot!
I just brought what you told me to.
Anything that says profile or proof of transaction.
I'm so happy.
Is it that good?
I can't even kiss you for this. My gosh.
Thank you.
A kiss? That's not for you to decide.
I can make a choice.
He's quite dogmatic.
(Gluttonous Sociopath)
(Chief Kim Seong Ryong)
What? A negotiation?
Yes, a negotiation.
You don't have anything. You can't make a deal.
I do. That's why I'm suggesting this.
You do make a deal with nothing.
That's in the past.
It'll be the plaintiff, lawyers, and me, so come.
No, way. I don't want to waste my time.
No, no. You're not wasting your time.
You won't be wasting your time, so come.
No way.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Wow, you're all so energetic. Looking great.
Nice to meet you all. I love how confident you all are.
It's like when I was in my 20s.
I highly doubt that.
Okay. You can shut your mouth.
I hope my daughter grows up as confident as you.
Don't get scared and do your thing.
I worked part-time in a grocery market for five years.
Thank you.
- Okay, let's go. - Yes.
Do we have everything?
I always leave out stuff in times like these...
Myung Seok.
Yes? What is it?
So...
I want to use the information you gave me.
That's why I gave it to you.
Just don't tell anyone you got it from me.
I won't say I got it from you, but...
I'm going to use it to attack your father.
However important this issue is,
it's still wrong to tear apart father and son.
What shall I do?
If you don't want me to,
I won't use that information.
Okay. Let's keep it between us.
Wait, Chief.
Just use it.
Can I?
Those part-timers only get what,
6 or 7 dollars an hour.
Make him pay up. Dad's such an embarrassment.
Where's his pride?
Have you eaten, Seok Hyun?
This is an official meeting.
Let's stick to our proper titles, Mr. Seo.
Sure, Mr. Jang.
Chief Kim here will state our demands.
We want payment in full...
and the chairman's apology.
What nonsense is that?
Do that and we'll end this quietly.
Without a fight.
Fine. Show me all the cards you have.
- Do you mean that? - Yes.
Mr. Lawyer, can you give me a hand?
Here are my cards. Number one.
(Personal information)
You ran background checks to blackmail the managers.
Only public institutions can run background checks...
and only for legitimate reasons.
Private institutions cannot do this or keep the data.
Especially not companies.
You know this is illegal, right, Mr. Seo?
Number two.
These are the IP addresses of the PCs used to leave...
malicious comments on Lee Min Ji's social media.
We checked and they belong to Financial Management...
situated on the 15th floor of this building.
Do you know why this is illegal, Mr. Seo?
Your job is to manage finances,
not leave malicious comments online.
And finally,
number three.
(TQ Cosmetics)
TQ Grocery makes a profit...
and they're sending huge amounts of money...
to the floundering TQ Cosmetics.
This is an incredible find.
This is very, very wrong.
Despite being able to pay the salaries,
you lied and spent the money elsewhere.
This is a serious case of deception.
Where'd you get that?
Oh, did I not tell you?
A stray cat gave it to me.
Min Ji, confirm our demands for the gentlemen.
We demand to be paid in full and that...
the chairman to apologize to the public.
What if we don't comply?
If you do not comply, all the major media outlets...
will mention TQ Group on the first or main page.
Payment in full and one formal apology...
will save you from much more embarrassment.
It's a much better outcome.
Director Seo.
Is this the best you can do?
How could you let it come to this?
And you had guts to ask for TQ Retail?
Do you think you're making any sense?
Director Seo.
Get out.
Go to your office and stay there.
There's nothing I want to say to your face!
Does this make sense?
Me, bow to the likes of them?
I will never do it.
My heart breaks as well,
but can you please reconsider?
If you don't do this,
things will get worse than you think.
Do as they say, just this once.
Kim Seong Ryong.
Is it his doing?
Yes.
I bet he's colluding with my wife.
I believe so.
A public apology?
I'll do it.
(TQ Group Public Apology)
(TQ's Chairman Park Hyun Do)
TQ Grocery...
failed to pay the managers and part-timers' salaries.
I offer my sincere regret.
As head of the company...
I offer my personal apologies...
to everyone involved in this incident.
The backlogged salaries will be paid shortly,
and I will find and punish whoever was responsible.
Yes.
To ensure this does not happen again,
I will take extra precautions in the future.
Once again, I would like to offer...
my apologies.
We did it!
- Shall we celebrate? - Yes.
We had meat yesterday.
Meat is for every day.
Let's get back to work for now.
I feel so good.
Me too.
Oh, well.
Why do you and your dad...
appear on TV so often?
Such is the life of a family of celebrities.
Do you know what we celebrities go through?
I'm a global celebrity.
Mr. Righteous.
Good for you.
I'm working with a great man.
Min Ji, I'm ashamed and sorry.
We were cowards and you were courageous.
Thank you for doing what we couldn't.
Now do you feel better?
Is that all?
Yes.
You guys won, Min Ji.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. I didn't think we'd win.
Now you can go back to college...
and work on your temper.
You're such a nag.
Why does everyone I meet want to hit me?
You have a tendency to upset people.
Seong Ryong, Ha Gyeong.
To me, you two are the real adults.
The real ones.
That was the best compliment I heard...
in my whole life.
It's my 32nd.
Deal with Kim Seong Ryong.
I don't want to see him again.
Get rid of him.
Do you think something like this will change anything?
It won't.
It'll all go back to normal.
That made me lose hope again.
It won't end in one go.
We have to keep it up to create a change.
There's a slang proverb for that.
Nothing beats the woodpecker.
Goodnight.
Let's have webfoot octopus one Friday.
- Deal. See you tomorrow. - Okay.
Chief Kim.
Lately I feel reassured...
because of you.
Bye.
No!
(Chief Kim wins against them all!)
(I'm so happy!)
(Approaching)
(Ouch!)
