THE ORDINARY JACKPOT

- Let's have one more drink. - You had too much already.

6 YEARS AGO

No, you need to go home.

Hey, mister. Join me for a drink.

- They won't drink with me. - Have you gone crazy?

- Stop it. - Sorry.

- Go home. - No.

- I'm fine. Let go of me. - You sure?

The taxi's not here yet?

- It's... - Let's go drink!

- What's wrong with you? - What?

- Let go. - It's coming.

- It's not here yet. - It's here.

- Here it is. - It's here?

- It's here. - Darn it.

- Where are we going? - Mapo-gu.

- For Mapo-gu, right? - That's where you live.

- I live there? - Yes.

- Okay, I'm fine. Let go. - Okay.

Wait. Give me a moment.

- Darn it. - What now?

- Here's 20,000 won for Seon-hyuk. - Thank you.

And 20,000 won for Eun-tae.

- Take a taxi home. - Thank you.

- Goodbye, sir. - Hey, I have no cash.

- Give me 10,000 won. I'm out. - Give me yours.

- Mine? - I'm all out.

- Bye! - No, wait.

- Now we can afford another... - We can't.

That hurt, you know. It really hurt.

- Hey, wait. My briefcase. - Here you go.

This isn't mine. Give me mine.

Why are you so out of it?

Are you sure you two won't go drinking without me?

- We won't. Bye. - Are you sure?

- Bye. See you. - I'm serious. Don't do that.

Take care!

That was so freaking hard.

It took us 30 minutes to get him to go.

That's way faster than before.

He used to fall asleep on the ground.

Will you be like that if you become a team leader?

Why?

Will you send me home when I become a team leader?

I'll do exactly that tonight.

Hey, Gong...

- You. Follow me. - What?

- Follow me. - Why?

- Come with me. - Where to?

Do you buy lottery tickets?

I've tried it a couple of times.

What's today's date?

It's April 27th, and the time is 11...

It's 11:42 p.m.

Forty-two.

The last digit of your employee number.

My employee number... Oh, it's an eight.

Eight for you. Three for me.

LOTTO, PENSION LOTTERY, SCRATCH-OFF

The rest will be randomly generated.

Okay.

- Sir. - Yes?

- Two tickets with these numbers. - Okay.

Thanks.

One for me, one for you.

Thank you.

Do you buy these often?

Whenever I see a stall.

Don't you?

I don't want to get my hopes up when I'll never win, anyway.

Who cares if you never win?

Do you buy them thinking you'll win when you won't?

Doesn't it feel like this moment has more meaning now?

Work is always the same.

Life is boring.

Buying a lottery ticket gives time some meaning.

That makes today worth celebrating.

That's why I buy them.

That's pretty romantic.

Don't fall for me.

You never know.

There are eight billion people out there.

What's the probability that we would ever meet?

I don't know.

One in 100 million? No, one in 10 million.

I don't know, either.

But the chance of winning the lottery is one in eight million.

Doesn't that mean the chance of us meeting

is almost as good as the chance that we'll win the lottery?

You and I happened to meet.

Who's to say we won't win?

I say it's possible.

If this is worth anything, we're halving it, okay?

Let's go home now.

LOTTERY TICKETS

Where's my briefcase?

Oh, yes. Thank you.

EPISODE 5: WHEN NO ONE SAYS WHAT THEY REALLY FEEL

HONGSUNG INTERNATIONAL

Oh, my goodness.

Are you all here because of me?

You get that much?

So what is it?

Did you rush over anxiously to apologize for causing a mess

or to clean it up?

Will it all be okay if I apologize?

Of course not, you punk.

What should I do, then?

I don't know.

What do you want me to do, Mr. Jang?

What are you even doing right now?

Should I stay here

wasting space and time just waiting to be fired?

Is that what you think you do here?

You don't deserve to lead a team.

I wouldn't have promoted you if I'd known you were like this.

I'm sorry

but I'm not here to apologize or clean anything up.

You're not?

Then how about you explain your actions?

Explain?

Did I do something wrong?

I can get why you tried to steal one of our business partners.

Well, I don't get it, but Ms. Park can, so I'll let it go.

You were there when we signed on Mantua

so we can say you own some equity.

But if you want to leave, leave alone.

Why poach our employees?

If Hongsung is a better company, they'll choose to stay here.

If not, they'll come with me.

I can't force someone to come with me.

The decision is theirs to make.

You sound so rational and reasonable.

Okay, then. I'll respond just as rationally.

Do you think Hongsung won't retaliate if you quit like this?

Oh, gosh...

Mr. Jang.

Do you think I have some grudge against Hongsung?

Who, me?

I was loyal to Hongsung

for over a good decade.

If I could do my job without having to quit, I'd stay.

If any Hongsung employee wants to come with me

that's only because they feel the same.

Let's be honest.

Hongsung doesn't treat people well.

I plan to do what Hongsung can't.

- Mr. Jeong. - Yes?

Do you think you're any different?

You can't even manage your own team.

How can you start a company that treats people well?

That's just nonsense.

That's for me to prove.

- Seon-hyuk. - Yes?

Our industry isn't a massive ocean. It's a tiny stream.

Do you think your company will survive with us as an enemy?

Are you actually concerned about me?

Yes.

I'm really concerned about the fool you are.

Thank you for your concern.

But today

I came here to ask you not to scold the employees

that I offered a job to because they did nothing wrong.

Will you do that for me?

Jeez...

I take it that you will and excuse myself.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Gong.

Yes?

Lock down Mantua as soon as possible.

So that's why Mr. Jang came to Legal.

He asked to see Mr. Jeong's employment contract.

To check for the non-compete agreement.

Does that carry any weight?

It does legally, but it's hard to enforce.

It's an awkward lawsuit with no guarantee of winning.

Time will pass as the trial drags on, and time will side with Mr. Jeong.

Do you know Ms. Park came by a week before that?

- Did she? - Yes.

She asked the same thing as Mr. Jang.

She wasn't going to let it slide, either.

Of course not. What he's doing is harming Hongsung.

The higher-ups are scarier than you think.

By the way

do you know why Ms. Park didn't make us take action?

No, why?

If we make a move, so will the Audit Team.

Would you want to make things worse if you were her?

I can't say for sure

but I think Mr. Jeong considered that when he planned this.

I really don't know, though.

Should I say Mr. Jeong is being clever

or pitiful?

I don't know, either.

I want to root for him whatever the outcome

but he makes me want to put away the pompoms and draw a sword.

A multi-brand shoe store?

Yes, it's a new project, and it was rushed.

Are we doing it? How come?

I pulled something crazy.

If you were going to do that, you should've given us a heads-up.

Do we have enough people to handle Laknes and the shoe store?

Mantua will select the brands, and Ms. Park will clear the finances.

Mr. Jang will help us deal with the brands' head offices.

There shouldn't be much actual work to do.

Mr. Gong.

Are we doing this because of Mr. Jeong?

No.

We're doing it because Hongsung needs us to.

The most important thing, then.

What's the budget?

Three million euro.

That's only for the first order.

Future ones can reach ten million.

What do you think?

Do you think that's enough to persuade Mantua?

It's a decent number.

The number's decent. So what are you worried about?

The Mantua guys aren't that reasonable.

I'm more worried that you're close to Mr. Jeong.

What do you think?

Mr. Jang. Did you forget this was my idea?

No.

I also know you didn't want to do this.

I don't care about anything else.

It'll be a huge headache

if you can't close the deal with this budget.

I'll close it.

Good.

Eun-tae.

This is work.

Don't forget that.

I won't.

22 HOURS TO LAKNES LAUNCH

Ms. Cha, I saw the revised version. It looks great.

I saw the posts, and they all look good.

- Oh, yes. - Gang, Lee, and Park.

- They didn't post the product alone. - Yes, thanks. Bye.

Oh, yes, hello.

- There are 30? - Did you get what I sent?

- Did you open the whole box? - Yes, about that.

The event that you proposed.

- Do you mind opening two more? - Sorry for all the changes.

I'll take you out to eat after the launch.

- Yes, please check. - Bye.

Oh, yes.

- Thank you. Bye. - Thank you. Bye.

- What are you doing? - What?

- What? - Sorry?

What are you doing?

We're taking a break.

Are you done?

Let's go.

12 HOURS TO LAKNES LAUNCH

9 HOURS TO LAKNES LAUNCH

- Ji-hye. - Yes?

Watch your pace. This is a marathon.

Okay.

Hey, Gi-tae.

You're too slow. Go at least half her speed.

This is a marathon, you see.

- What? - You're the slowest, Mr. Yang.

Oh, Mr. Gong.

Come and take a seat.

Sorry I'm late.

Don't be. We just got started.

Where do I start?

Put these stickers on there.

Why did you join us? We could manage.

Laknes opens tomorrow.

- We have a final meeting too. - Mr. Gong.

The banners are up on the Gangnam and Sogong-dong stores.

We're halfway through the influencer marketing.

We confirmed the opening event and supply

and this bar code sticker job is the last on the list.

We leave the rest to the heavens.

No one up there will help stick the bar codes.

It's crucial that we finish this by morning.

Heaven helps those who help themselves.

He keeps spouting stuff like that.

- Come here. You need help. - Sorry. I'll stop.

I'll do all of this.

- Sorry. I'll help. - Hands off.

- Okay, fine. Let me. - I'll do it all.

Excuse me.

- Where are you going? - Leave my share to do later.

Hey, don't you think he looks excited these days?

He does.

Mr. Sponza.

Mr. Gong. Long time no chat.

I saw your email. You're visiting Italy?

Yes, for some coffee.

Good thinking.

Italy is the place for coffee.

I'll email you for a specific date.

Don't email. Just tell me. I'll be there.

Then, I'll see you soon. I'll keep in touch.

Yes. Bye.

Korea?

Yes. Hongsung.

- Are they coming to discuss Jeong? - Probably.

They won't come empty-handed.

They'll bring an armful.

Whatever they bring, don't touch what's mine, okay?

You should know me by now.

I'm disappointed.

42 MINUTES TO LAKNES LAUNCH

Wait here.

- What time is it? - It's 9:48 a.m.

No, wait.

We need to move two at once.

Okay.

That's it.

- Gi-tae. - Let me.

We made it on time.

We can't say yet. We're cutting it close.

Hey, Ji-hye.

- Two boxes? - You can do it.

I told you to wait.

What?

Hurry up, Ji-hye.

Move it.

You barely made it. I thought we'd lost you.

We came as soon as we could. We were up all night.

It wasn't my idea to get the goods so close to opening.

Oh, whatever. I deserve praise.

Forget the praise and drink this.

Thanks. I knew it was for us.

You redid the whole display wall.

You think we weren't working?

- Drink outside the store. - I haven't even taken a sip.

- Mr. Gong. - Yes.

Here's an iced coffee.

The mall is open. Get ready.

Is this the sound of footsteps?

Are they coming to Laknes?

Welcome. There's no need to run.

Stay close to the wall, please.

Take your time.

Please wait here.

Please wait here.

Excuse me.

Mr. Sponza?

Mr. Jeong. Sorry for the late call.

It's okay. Where is the delivery?

The guy from the warehouse mixed up the schedule.

This never happened before.

Okay.

I'll let you handle the issue.

So, when is the departure?

Within a week.

I'll let you know when the schedule is ready.

Okay.

Hongsung called.

What did they say?

They want to come in person.

You don't have to worry, Mr. Jeong.

I will handle this.

Okay. Thank you.

Bye then.

Mr. Gong, have a coffee.

- Thanks. - Sure.

Did you get some rest?

Well, yes. I'm rested up.

Good. We're going on a business trip.

Pardon?

You're coming with me to Italy.

- Am I going with you? - Yes.

It's time you went on a business trip.

Oh, okay. Got it.

Will this be your first trip there?

Yes, I've never been to Italy.

What a shame.

You're going to Italy, but you won't get to see any of it.

- What? - You'll see what I mean.

That's what business trips are like.

Okay.

MANTUA, ITALY

This way.

Everything here is limited edition.

Excuse me?

Follow me, please.

Gi-tae?

Mr. Gong?

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

Why did you bring me on this trip?

You asked the same thing I did.

What?

From now on, when you visit an Italian warehouse

don't be too surprised.

Mr. Gong.

Mr. Sponza.

This is Gi-tae Park from my company.

You must be the next Mr. Gong.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Park.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sponza.

It's a pleasure for me too.

- Have a seat. - Yeah.

I miss this.

Korean coffee is good too, no?

It's not the same at all.

Come often.

Just say they are all business trips.

Wish I can.

You can have as much coffee as you want.

Let's wrap up here and go eat.

I booked a perfect restaurant.

By the way, what brings you here?

You know Mr. Jeong who used to work with us?

He is dealing with Mantua.

We'd appreciate it if you could cancel that

and block him from all Mantua warehouses.

Maybe there is something I'm missing.

It feels like a lot

for a small breakaway from Hongsung.

He made a secret attempt to poach our employees.

I see.

Mr. Jeong made a bad move.

People can get shot here in Italy.

So, can you do that?

We can't just cancel it now.

The invoice is done, and the shipment is ready to go.

Mr. Jeong probably use our name to lock in retail accounts.

And this could ruin our reputation.

I totally understand Hongsung's action, but honestly,

it's too late to break the deal now.

Sure. We can't just ask you to break the deal.

We'll launch a select shop for luxury shoes

and get Mantua to take care of the supply.

This is why you're so confident.

It must be a huge deal if you want us

to risk our reputation.

This is what we need.

Please take a look.

Three million euros for the first order

and ten million for yearly orders.

What do you think?

You put me in a very difficult spot, Mr. Gong.

Give me one minute.

I should've recorded that.

The negotiation is not over yet.

What?

There's no way Sponza would drop it like this.

Try the coffee.

I canceled all of Mr. Jeong's orders and delayed the shipment too.

The other warehouses will do the same.

Good. Thank you.

But, there is one problem.

What do you mean the shipment's withheld?

No, that can't be. Check again.

What? Hello?

Hello?

Damn it, what the heck?

The call cannot be connected.

Sponza, you rascal.

Emilio.

I told you, Sponza.

Don't touch what's mine.

I heard you. That's why I'm asking for a favor.

I don't know how big your Hongsung deal is

but I cannot cancel this shipment.

May I know the reason you're refusing?

He speaks Italian?

I had no idea.

I'm still learning.

If I know why you're refusing, perhaps I can help.

Okay. My daughter designed the products in this shipment.

I wasn't a good father since I divorced her mother.

This is the first ever order my daughter got.

And you want me to cancel it? No way.

May I ask what the products are?

They're sunglasses.

Including the sunglasses

how much did Mr. Jeong order in total?

About 900,000 euros.

I'm sorry?

- How did that happen? - That's how things went.

I'll send you all the related info.

Can you set it up so I can report it as soon as I get back?

I can get the papers in order, but how did that happen?

I had to do it to seal the deal.

So you spent an extra 900,000 euros?

This is insane.

I'll explain when I get back.

Of course, you must explain, but...

- Do that for me. - Hello?

Mr. Gong?

What's gotten into him?

- Did he get excited again? - Yes.

What are you thinking, Mr. Gong?

We did things the Hongsung way so far.

At least this time, I'd like to do things my way.

Sorry?

The worst they can do is fire me.

What?

Mr. Gong!

MISSED CALL FROM TEAM 4 MR. JEONG SEON-HYUK

Mr. Gong, take the taxi in front.

- Okay. - Bye, then.

Good job. Get back safely.

Can you open the trunk for me?

Mr. Gong.

I learned a lot on this trip.

Thank you.

You really are just like me.

What?

Never mind. See you tomorrow.

Okay. Goodbye.

Hey, there.

Why are you so down?

A CEO can't let something like this get to him.

Do I look down?

Hongsung is scary.

I'm sure you expected this.

I didn't think they'd go this far.

Do you blame me?

I blame myself.

I took you to Mantua.

Your eyes bugged out when you saw the warehouse.

I taught the clueless kid everything

and this is what he does to me.

You told me then

that I shouldn't act too surprised in the warehouse.

Did I?

Did I go too far?

Even if I did go too far

do you think I deserve this?

The multi-brand shoe store.

Was that your idea or Hongsung's?

It was my idea.

Hongsung agreed.

I see.

Mr. Jeong.

If I import the product, will you buy from us?

- What? - But it will be

a bit more expensive than what Mantua asked for.

- What are you saying? - It's as you heard.

You can't deal directly with Mantua ever again.

If you want their product, you must buy it from Hongsung.

The shipment is on its way.

You can come to Hongsung this week to sign the contract.

I'll persuade them.

Are you throwing me a lifeline?

I should go.

Hello.

Explain.

There was one guy who refused to cancel his deal with Mr. Jeong.

- Hey. - She's the director.

Get straight to the point.

I didn't want to destroy Mr. Jeong.

What about us, then?

And the other team leaders.

Did we want to destroy him?

I didn't think anyone did.

- Jeez. - The shipment Mr. Jeong ordered

will count as sales from our side.

At the same time, I believe it serves as a warning to someone

who resigned in an abnormal manner.

Are you saying it works out for everyone?

Yes, that's what I believe.

So you went over the agreed budget by 30%.

Even if the order can be counted as sales

do you think it's okay

to make that decision on your own as team leader?

What if I don't sign off on this?

I represented Hongsung to make a deal.

I believe this is the best possible result.

Okay.

It's on me for sending you to Mantua.

For the time being, report to me directly

whenever your team places an order.

Ask for approval before you spend even a single won.

Yes, ma'am.

There's something you got wrong.

Do you think Mr. Jeong will be grateful for what you did?

Is Mr. Son late again today?

This place is a total mess.

Gi-tae.

(Check your phone.)

OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES HONGSUNG INTERNATIONAL

I heard he was ill for a long time.

He wasn't in pain when he passed.

You should've told us.

It's not something to brag about.

I should've looked out for you.

- Sorry. - Don't be.

CONDOLENCE MONEY BOX

Thanks for coming.

The deceased's son is present.

You can go on in.

Thanks for coming.

Isn't work an interesting place?

They argue all the time

but they all help out when things like this happen.

Yes, I guess that keeps us going.

I heard you'll be supplying Mr. Jeong's company.

Yes, that's the plan.

You did the right thing.

Do you really think so?

He used to be family.

We all know what happened.

Hang on. Is that Mr. Jeong?

BAEKSAN UNIVERSITY FUNERAL HALL

- Hello. - Hi, it's been a while.

Hello.

- Let's go inside. - Not me.

I was going to pass you this.

Gift the money for me.

You came all the way. Go and say hi.

I shouldn't show myself. Take the envelope.

CONDOLENCE MONEY

I'm leaving. Look after him.

- Are you driving for Hongsung? - Yes, Hongsung International.

Where are the others?

I'm the only one. Why?

What are you on about? All those are for Hongsung.

- That's all for Hongsung? - Yes.

- It can't be. - I'm serious. It's all theirs.

Call someone to check.

- Can I have more soju? - More soju?

- Yes. - Just a moment. Ji-hye?

Ji-hye.

I'll get it for you right away.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- Hello, Mr. Jang. - Hi.

Did you have a drink last night?

Yes, I did.

How much did you drink?

An effing crazy amount.

Then I'll make you a nice cup of hot honey tea.

Thanks so much.

Darn it.

- Hey. - Yes?

Do you buy lottery tickets?

Sometimes.

Don't buy them sometimes. Buy one every week.

We're both office workers.

This is our only hope.
