The Way Of The Hot & Spicy (2021) s01e12 Episode Script
Saraba itoshi no gekikaradô

I'm very sorry.
Please forgive my inadequacy.
It's okay.
Cheer up.
You were up against JAL.
It's Japan Airlines.
Okochi failed too.
-So did you!
-Both of you failed?
Yes, when we were in the Sales Department.
Let's refresh ourselves
by going out and eating something good!
Right, Manager?
You can't get things done
by being so complacent.
Rewrite the data
and give the presentation in three days.
-I'll call them to make an appointment.
-Yes, sir.
Three days
will be more than enough for you.
But I'll check it once
before you give the presentation.
Tomorrow, you can show me
what you've fixed.
-Tomorrow?
-Is there a problem?
No.
All right. Let's go over the data.
No worries, Mr. Sarukawa.
With our help, you'll be invisible.
-You mean invincible.
-No need to give a hand.
Leave everything up to him.
I'll be going now.
Thank you…
What's wrong with him?
Usually, he would tell us
to work together.
INTRODUCTION TO LONRON PRODUCTS
HERE IS A COLLECTION OF LONRON DRINKS
WE RECOMMEND FOR JAL
Thank you for waiting. It's food delivery.
Thank you.
It's spice level 20.
Thank you.
It looks delicious.
I only ordered one.
Oh, it's for the beautiful lady
that's always sitting there.
-Ms. Okochi?
-Her name is Okochi?
It's on the house.
I've been meaning to tell you this,
but she doesn't eat carbs.
So she hasn't eaten
any of the other meals.
Hee haa…
Hee haa?
But I can take it for her instead…
No, it's okay.
-You don't want me to have it?
-Thanks.
-Thank you. See you again.
-Thank you.
It's so spicy!
Just as I expected from a level 20.
This is waking me up.
All right. I'm going to do this!
Please review this.
He looks confident.
He narrowed down all the new products
he wants to recommend.
NEW PRODUCTS
THAT LONRON PROVIDES WITH CONFIDENCE
IT'S THE NEW "LONRON SOUP BISTRO"!
Redo it.
Manager, he worked really hard
on that all night.
It's work. He's supposed to
work really hard.
I took a look at that,
and there was a big improvement.
I also think it portrayed Lonron's idea
in a simple way.
Sorry, but I'm the one
who's going to make the decision.
Okochi, come with me
to give the higher-ups
a report on that contract.
Sure.
I thought it was very well made, Sarukawa.
Do you think the images
of the new products were too small?
Thank you.
Maybe my idea isn't getting across
to the other party.
Manager.
What was wrong with that?
I took a look at it,
and I thought it was made very well.
Maybe it has nothing to do with
the visual presentation.
What's missing?
I don't know.
Thank you for the food.
It's delicious.
I think I became a better cook
after coming to Tokyo.
I have to work just as hard
on this project.
NEW LONRON SOUP BISTRO
THREE TYPES OF LONRON SOUP BISTRO
Redo it.
Manager, what's wrong with it?
Yeah.
If you don't point out what's wrong,
he can't improve on it.
It's okay.
It's simply not good enough.
I'll redo it.
I'm going outside for some fresh air.
Is there a reason for this?
This isn't like you.
I agree. You're someone
who values harmony.
Isn't that who you are?
I feel bad for Sarukawa.
Manager, is this
the Way of the Hot and Spicy?
Add one line to the word "pain"
and it becomes "happiness".
You described that
as the Way of the Hot and Spicy.
But what you're doing right now…
Yes. It's only painful for Mr. Sarukawa.
I thought the Sales Promotion
was full of mismatched individuals,
but I guess there's a sense of solidarity.
The truth is,
Sarukawa is being transferred.
He has to go back to Osaka.
To Osaka?
The JAL presentation he's working on
will be his last job here in Tokyo.
That's why I want him to succeed
no matter what.
Is that why you were being
strict on purpose?
I want this presentation to succeed
so that it can be
a farewell gift for Sarukawa.
And even if it doesn't succeed,
I don't want him to regret anything.
Either way, I plan on telling Sarukawa
about the transfer
once he finishes the presentation.
Dammit.
MIGHTY WARRIOR
Sarukawa. You can do it.
We're confident you will succeed in Tokyo.
Hooray, Sarukawa!
Hooray, Sarukawa!
Hooray, Sarukawa.
Hooray, Sarukawa.
77TH GENERATION LEADER
KENTA SARUKAWA
What am I doing?
I'm not making any changes.
What I need to change…
is myself!
INSERT FIRST SLIDE
DELICIOUS AND HAPPY JOURNEY
Please review it.
You redid the whole thing?
Yes.
COLLABORATION PROJECT PROPOSAL
WE THOUGHT OF WHAT LONRON CAN DO
FOR GUESTS WHO FLY ON JAL
IT'S AN EXTRA ITEM THAT WILL ENHANCE
THEIR TRAVEL WITH JAL
It's made very well.
It's good to go.
All right!
Go and give your best at the presentation.
Okay.
It was a sudden request,
so our manager doesn't have much time.
I'm very sorry, but I hope you understand.
Yes. Thank you for your time.
Let's get started.
What is this?
Today,
I narrowed our products down
to the Soup Bistro Series.
It's chilled soup.
Why did you choose this?
I thought about what your company
expects from us.
Most domestic flights
are an hour to an hour and a half long.
During that time, the drink service
offers customers a chance
to relax and release their stress.
But some people
may want a little more than just a drink.
Customers with short layovers
are tight on time, so they may not
have time to eat before the flight.
Some customers might feel hungry
once they board the plane.
This chilled soup bistro
is a convenient way
to satisfy such customers.
Of course, it can be added as an extra
meal item on international flights
or for customers who aren't
hungry enough for a meal.
It's chilled,
but I can taste the potatoes.
I can taste the natural flavor
of the tomato.
We will also provide it
in individual vacuum-sealed bags
for in-flight purposes.
We carefully selected the ingredients
from trusted farmers
to create this nutritious product.
We are confident that customers
will be happy
to enjoy this both as a light meal
and a drink.
-Manager, thank you for waiting.
-How was it?
They said they will give it
a positive consideration.
Oh, really? I'm so glad.
-It's the result of your hard work.
-Not at all.
Now I can send you off
without any trace of regret.
Send me off?
To tell you the truth,
you're being transferred
to the Osaka headquarters.
-Wait. Why all of a sudden?
-It's the headquarters' order.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you any sooner.
It's hard for us to let you go.
But work hard for our company in Osaka.
It was a short time,
but I was happy to have a subordinate
called Kenta Sarukawa.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Manager.
Did you tell me to improve
my presentation material
because you knew of my transfer?
It will be small, but we want to
throw you a farewell party.
I thought this would be
a great place for a farewell.
MOUKO TANMEN NAKAMOTO
It's the last spicy meal in Tokyo.
Thanks for waiting. It's mouko tanmen.
Thanks for coming, everyone.
This will be the last time
all of us can eat together.
Sarukawa, can you give a word?
Sure.
Honestly, I was confused at first.
Everyone was eating spicy things
and ranking clients with spice levels.
I thought all of you were crazy.
But
I found out that it's a method of enjoying
this work and that broadened
my perspective.
There were some difficulties, but I'm
so glad I got to work with all of you.
Thank you very much.
I'll take your tickets.
-Here you go.
-Okay.
We have an order
of hokkyoku ramen, char siu, and egg!
Thank you very much!
You're having the hokkyoku and char siu?
Yeah. Manager recommended it.
Hokkyoku is the North Pole.
It sounds like you're going far away.
It's not like we can't see him again.
I'll have the traditional moukou tanmen.
-I might not be able to finish it.
-Don't say that.
-I'll have the hiyami.
-Hiyami?
It's chilled miso ramen.
It's the spiciest dish.
I'll have the mouko rice bowl
and the mouko tanmen with extra mapo.
And double the fat.
I'll have miso ramen with butter.
And you, Okochi?
I'll have the hokkyoku vegetable ramen.
But that has carbohydrates.
Can you change the noodles to shirataki?
Yes, we have konjac noodles too.
I'm cheating today.
What?
I'm going to eat it today.
Cheers.
It was some years ago,
on a cold winter day.
I failed a sales attempt
and ended up drinking.
When I came to, I was here.
I was sitting where that young man
is sitting right now.
Hey.
What do you recommend here?
Everything.
Everything, huh?
Then give me the spiciest dish you have.
All right.
Thank you for waiting.
That was the hiyami.
It was very spicy.
I had eaten many spicy things until then…
JAPAN'S NUMBER ONE
SPICY BUT DELICIOUS RAMEN!
but that was exceptionally good.
I struggled with the heat
and finished eating it.
I was filled with a strange sense
of accomplishment and satisfaction.
That's when I realized
that this catharsis
is something that's irreplaceable.
It doesn't have to be something grand,
like hopes and dreams.
It can be something small.
Accomplishing something
while enduring difficulties.
That may be the most important thing.
Ever since then, I always come here
when something happens.
Thanks for waiting.
I was talking about the first time
I met the owner.
You still remember that?
He was in the kitchen with a big smile
when I finished my dish.
Is that what happened?
He's so shy. He does that face a lot.
Please enjoy.
Yes, this is it.
Long time no see. How have you been?
This is the traditional dish.
It looks delicious.
Every time feels like the first time.
My last spicy meal in Tokyo.
That doesn't mean our bond ends here.
Whether it's Osaka or Tokyo,
it's still the same company.
I won't lose against you.
-Let's eat while it's hot.
-Okay.
Thank you for the food.
You're not eating.
Manager.
Everyone.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the food.
I heard we were getting someone
from Osaka, so I was worried I’d have to
put up with annoying jokes.
Experiencing a bomb on your first day
of sales is a common thing.
Experiencing real heat gives you
the strength to overcome any difficulties.
Get that contract
as if your life depends on it.
Here, colleague.
We're colleagues, so let's stop
that formal speech.
It makes the challenge more worthwhile.
Do I have anything
that's better than them?
Of course. I know there is!
Eating extremely spicy food
is always a serious match.
You must face it
by putting your life on the line.
You're satisfied with that!?
It's just as I expected from
a former leader of the cheer squad.
I realized that it's not so bad
to pursue something with sincerity.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
Everyone, thank you for last night.
Please take this with you.
-I can't.
-Go ahead. Take this in place of us.
Thank you.
Here's the super spicy seasoning
I've selected.
Please enjoy it.
Everyone,
it was a short while,
but thank you for everything.
Wait a minute.
Hello. This is Tanioka.
What?
Yes.
I understand.
It was Osaka.
Extreme spice is all the rage
in Nagoya right now
and that trend will be here in no time.
It seems like the president
heard about our Way of the Hot and Spicy.
In order to strategically reinforce
the Tokyo branch,
they decided to expand
the Sales Promotion Team.
So they will have Sarukawa
remain here in Tokyo.
Then his transfer…
It's canceled.
Good for you, Sarukawa!
Manager's Way of the Hot and Spicy
finally came to good use!
I'm so relieved!
But you're still my rival.
Here.
All right.
Where are you going?
To Tochiku Cinema.
I'll make some sales calls to theatres
before the extreme spice trend picks up.
-You're pumped up!
-Yup. I'll be off.
Luck is on his side.
He's the sunlight that sheds light
on the Way of the Hot and Spicy.
He's guiding our way.
Don't you guys want to follow him?
There's a bright future--
-We're off to work.
-I won't be back today.
-We can't lose against him.
-Bye!
WAY OF THE HOT AND SPICY
The Way of the Hot and Spicy.
It’s the road to catharsis found beyond
the border of extreme heat.
In the world of extreme spice,
there is no better sustenance
than the courage
to face difficulties
without fearing failure.
All right.
