(The names of people, incidents,
and backgrounds...)

(of this drama are fictional.)

(Year 2017)

There is not enough evidence to prove that
illegal inheritance of PQ Group...

and the alleged slush fund...

as raised by the defendant are true.

Therefore, the defendant, Hwang Chul Min,

is found guilty...

under Article 156 of the Criminal Act.

The former PQ managing director,
who emerged as a symbol of justice...

by confessing to PQ Group's slush funds
and the political and business lobbying,

Hwang Chul Min, has been sentenced
to eight years in prison...

and a fine of 1.3 billion won.

The civic groups criticized the trial,
which overturned the acquittal...

in the second trial,
saying that the justice of the law...

collapsed before the conglomerate.

(Seoul Correctional Service)

Why did you do that?

You knew this was going to happen.

So why did you still fight?

Even when I called you dozens of times
after Mom collapsed,

and two days ago when you were looking
for the place where you abandoned me,

you didn't think of us, did you?

The only thing that mattered to you
were your own battles, right?

Are you going to keep coming to see me...

to clean up the mess you created?

I'm helping those conglomerates
that you despised so much.

I'm helping them with finance fraud
and illegal inheritance.

It's so darn easy.

Thinking about
how you couldn't do something so easy...

left me speechless.

- Move out of the way!
- Please make way!

- You'll get hurt!
- Make way!

I never understood my father.

It seemed stupid for him to fight against
PQ Group he couldn't defeat.

And I hated having to suffer
because of it.

The car is coming up.

The car is coming up!

But...

why did I leave the man all alone...

when he obviously seemed unstable?

(The late Hwang Chul Min)

(Episode 1)

Excuse me.

(List of vehicles
that entered Youngsoo Road)

I got it from a Daeju Daily reporter.

The police said that
the CCTV footage got deleted,

but there was remaining footage
of the other side of the road.

I've investigated all the vehicle records,
but nothing suspicious came up.

Although I couldn't see anything,

I thought
it could be different for someone else.

You investigated all this by yourself?

It's strange...

how the police were too quick
to conclude it was suicide.

For the bereaved family,

there shouldn't be any doubts left.

Are you doing this out of guilt?

Do you want to get confirmation...

that my father didn't die
because of a tax audit?

The tax audit...

wasn't ordered because of a suspicion.

It was ordered
because they wanted to find something.

I should've turned it back
when I found out.

But at some point,

I wanted to protect myself first.

I knew other people's lives
would be ruined, but I still...

I'm so sorry.

I know that you won't be able
to forgive me, but I'm still sorry.

I should thank you,

but I'm sorry that I can't.

Goodbye.

Let's never see each other again.

(Hwang Chul Min's belongings)

(Hwang Chul Min)

The police came with this.
They're Chul Min's belongings.

By the way, didn't he mention...

anything about meeting someone?

What do you mean?

The memorandum is gone.

It's strange how the cover is here,
but the contents are gone.

He wrote all the lobby records
of PQ Group there.

I thought he already got rid of it
because so many people were after it.

This is the cover of the memorandum?

(Hwang Chul Min)

Someone used National Tax Service
to find this.

Why did my father take this with him
that night?

(Prosecutor Kim Young Tae)

What are you here for?

You'd know if you heard it. An exposure.

Why would I believe you
when you're one of them?

You're a secret corruption expert
in Kangseong Tax Accounting.

You even have a weird nickname.

You mean Don Quixote?

Yes, that one.

You're Don Quixote of the jerks
who want to embezzle money.

How trashy must you've been
to earn such a nickname for an accountant?

I worked hard.

Those are the documents
related to the PQ's paper company.

I know you're preparing to indict them
for embezzlement.

That's all the evidence you'll get
no matter how much you investigate.

Only the evidence
of Kangseong Tax Accounting...

overlooking accounting fraud
of 13 businesses...

and not doing auditing will be left.

I hope that'll be useful.

You know, your license may be revoked
for violation of confidentiality.

It's okay. Nothing will happen to me.

How can you be so sure?

You see,

I didn't hand over
the worst kind of crime done...

for insurance purposes, Young Tae.

(Don Quixote wins.)

(Prosecutor Kim Young Tae)

That jerk.

Go and practice more.

I know I shouldn't be asking this,
considering my position,

but why are you doing this?
Is it because of what happened?

You won't be able to set foot
in that world ever again.

It doesn't matter...

because that's not where I'm headed to
anymore.

(Resignation Letter)

What do you think you're doing?

I'm repaying your kindness and support
with ingratitude.

Thank you for everything.

(Kangseong Tax Accounting)

It does feel like you're running away.

Did you get caught
while trying to embezzle?

This place didn't suit me from the start.

That's not true.

You're perfect for a messed-up company...

- that only chases after money.
- See you around, Ms. Oh.

(Prosecution Service)

You have good grades
and a lot of experience as well.

Your job must've been fine.
Why did you choose us?

The man I respect the most
once told me this.

"Just because you make good money,
that doesn't mean you're living well."

"You must keep at least one goal
in your heart."

My father was really cool
when he did this as he said it.

I'm here with that one goal in my heart.

I want to give it my all in this place.

(Meeting Room)

- Number 21, please come in.
- Okay.

(National Tax Service
Recruitment Interview)

(Namju Regional Tax Office)

The pride of Namju, Professional
Baseball Player Byun Bong Seok,

has acquired a US citizenship
in prior to joining the Major League,

and it causes controversy.

Sparking a wave of criticisms that
it was only to avoid military service,

the last game he'll play in Korea...

He admitted to tax evasion,

(1st Quarter Performance Report,
Bureau 1 with the lowest)

and he promised
to pay two billion won...

including additional tax
without any objection.

But he became an American citizen
in the meantime?

I can't go see him anymore.
They're just like thugs.

Darn it!

Why that little...

Should I collect that two billion won?

I'm an expert
in catching those who evade taxes.

(Hwang Dong Ju)

(Level 5 Litigation Officer
at Namju Regional Tax Office)

Hwang Dong Ju of Litigation Department.
You're the level five newbie, right?

Just mind your business.
We have many experts here.

I guess
I didn't introduce myself properly.

This is my old business card.

I used to specialize in accounting fraud,
processing expenses, and paper companies.

What is this?
Is there something else you want?

You wouldn't believe me
even if I answer that question.

You wouldn't entrust it to me.

I'll tell you
after I get that two billion won.

It's Byun Bong Seok!

- He's over there!
- It's Byun Bong Seok!

- Aren't you sad about your last game?
- When did you prepare to acquire...

the US citizenship?

Do you admit evading military service?

What will happen with your taxes?

- You can't just leave!
- What will happen with your taxes?

- How did you play the last game?
- Byun Bong Seok!

Please say something! For your fans...

Such patriots, aren't they?

They can't even do their jobs properly,

but they always bite my head off whenever
they bring up the military service.

It's so stupid.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Bong Seok, the car wouldn't move.

What's that?

It's the NTS! Take photos!

I told you to check these things
in advance!

Do something about it. Hurry.

Oh, he's here.

You're Mr. Byun Bong Seok, right?

I'm from the NTS,
and I'm here to collect your taxes.

The notified tax amount
is 2.05 billion won.

The additional tax fee
for false tax returns report...

You shouldn't take a photo of this.

Hold on.

You must pay your taxes
even if you have to go to the US.

There are so many people watching too.
Aren't I right?

Hi, there. Mr. Byun Bong Seok.

What's going on? What are you doing?

Oh, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

I'm here to collect his taxes.

- What are you doing?
- Darn you.

Hey, take it easy.
He might die at this rate.

Make him stand up.

Mr. Byun Bong Seok.

Mr. Byun... Mr. Byun Bong Seok!

- Oh, gosh.
- Strike!

Wow, you certainly deserve
to go to the Major League.

My gosh.

Goodness, Mr. Byun Bong Seok.

You know there will be no discount
even if you beat me up, right?

Including the additional tax
for income tax evasion,

the total amount...

has come up to 2.05 billion won.

Gosh, these sickening jerks.

Bring it.

That's obviously
less than two billion won.

- Obviously.
- Obviously.

How dare you pretend to be innocent?

Hey, just take this and go.

This is what you guys do, isn't it?

Because collecting all two billion won
won't put money in your pocket.

So...

you're saying
you'd rather bribe me than pay your taxes.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, what is he saying?

Room service!

Oh, hello. I'm back.

I counted the bribe money
you gave me yesterday.

It's way short of the total amount.

Let's see. How much was it?

Including the additional tax
due to tax evasion,

you still need
to pay 1.95 billion won.

Get lost.
Do you want me to call the police?

Before you babble on about the police,
please take a look at this.

All right. Let's watch it.

Here it is.

Hey.

There.

Because you kept coming at me,
I let you hit me out of courtesy.

With tax evasion,
military service evasion,

assault, and bribery,

you hit a home run,
hitting 4 birds with 1 stone.

Do you really want to be gone
from this world?

No.

You're one adorable guy.

Hey. This?

Go ahead and spread it.

Do you think this kind of threat
still works in this country?

You chose the wrong opponent,
you stupid jerk.

You're right.
It might not work in this country.

But I heard the club owner from the US
didn't let things like this slide.

Then your contract will be terminated
as soon as you arrive in the US,

your citizenship will be revoked,

and you'll be penniless.

Well, then. Have a good day.

Hey! Wait a minute.

Money. I need to have it to pay back.

- My money is all bound.
- Okay.

At least give me a month!
I don't have any money right now!

Your brother runs a sports betting site,
right?

and you've been investigated with him
for manipulating game results, right?

So?

Do you know
what your dividend rate is today?

It's 20 to 1.

Apparently,
you've never lost against Incheon Tigers.

Then if you don't attend the game today,

you'll get 20 times the money
they bet on you.

Hey, today is my last game in Korea.

Don't you know what that means?

Why should I know that?

Mr. Byun. Don't you get it?

You're being cornered right now.
You're in a complete mess.

If you're a thug, leave the game like one,

instead of expecting applause
from the stand.

That'll be the most fitting ending...

for a guy like you. Got it?

It was a disappointing day
for the Albatross fans.

Byun Bong Seok has thrown
especially strong pitches...

against Incheon Tigers in every game,
but with his absence,

Albatross suffered a painful defeat.

The fans visited the stadium...

to watch Byun Bong Seok play
before he leaves...

Byun Bong Seok was absent today.

They'd have won the game for sure
if he was there.

Do you know anything about it?

No. Maybe he's sick.

Despite that,
he paid back 2.05 billion won.

I told you that
I'd get that 2.05 billion won back.

This is great.

Then tell me what you want.

Please...

assign me here.

I heard that there was no tax bureau
like this one...

that helped you reach the top
of National Tax Service.

(National Tax Service Headquarters)

(Love the people by regulating taxes.)

There's nothing more indisputable
than death and taxes.

That's how important our role is
as people in charge...

of the country's tax administration.

Even in difficult situations,

these exemplary employees
showed excellent performances...

that they'll be recorded
in tax administration history.

They have gathered here today.

Looking at them,

I feel reassured and proud.

(In Tae Jun,
Director of NTS Joongang Regional Office)

To everyone who showed
excellent performances in your branches,

I'd like to extend my gratitude.

I hope that you will accomplish
your duties without wavering,

following the law and principles.

Thank you.

It was an exhausting experience.

(Seo Hye Young, Bureau 5 Investigator
of NTS Joongang Regional Office)

Goodbye.

Oh, my! Let me give you a hand!
Give it to me.

We did enough
by taking care of the award ceremony.

But we have to clean up too?

What else can we do?
We're the official pushovers of NTS.

So? You'll run away by yourself?

(55th Taxpayer Appreciation Day
Awards Ceremony for Excellent Employees)

Did you decide to get married?

Oh, my! Sorry.

Forget it.

For someone without a loan in level five,
you've suffered enough.

Don't be like that, and come with me.

I'll treat you
until you are no longer mad at me.

- Let go of me.
- Come on.

- Let go.
- Come with me.

Hey, you...

Have you been well?

I almost didn't recognize you.

You look even better.

I'm old now.

I heard you were the brain
of Namju Regional Tax Office.

How did you get into NTS?

I just wanted to work
in a higher position.

Is that so? How high do you want to go?

This place would be nice too.

This?

Director In.

I'll assist you
as you run toward your goal.

Why so?

I want to pay you back.

For everything you did for my father,

I want to pay you back in his stead.

To the headquarters.

How is the kid?

Well, he's very useful.

They said he was willing to take any risk.

Some of them said
he was too aggressive and tough,

but thanks to that,

the most difficult cases go to him.

Who? Hwang Chul Min's son?

How dare he come to this place?

He may have gone crazy
to turn his life around,

but how could he come to this place
when there's a history with his father?

I heard that was how he is.

I heard from No Sun Ju that
he didn't mind such things.

I know what people like him are like.

Those with lots of flaws
who are willing to do anything to survive.

Let's kick him out.

I'm sure it'll take only a second for him
to cause trouble.

What brings you to the headquarters?

The Joongang Regional Office...

will be hosting upcoming
Asia NTS Directors' Conference.

How strange.
The commissioner didn't mention anything.

It's customary
for the headquarters to host it,

but we're hosting it
to help reduce your workload,

so I hope you'll be understanding.

Oh, it's a shame, though.

I think we'll get that job again.

Don't you think it's strange...

how the misconduct
at the Joongang Regional Office...

has greatly increased
after you were appointed as the director?

I heard a team leader
from Taxation Bureau Five...

got a huge amount of bribe
during a tax investigation.

Could it be because
you care so much about your employees...

that the person hasn't been fired?

I didn't know
something like that happened.

There's no one who is capable of keeping
the Inspection Department quiet...

other than you, Director In.

You're overestimating me.

Anyway,
appropriate measures will be taken.

I think I'll have to report
to the commissioner first.

She's sitting in a position
that doesn't suit her.

A commissioner's secretary
would've been a perfect position for her.

How long has he been watching us?

Convince me
why I should keep you by my side.

Everyone believes that...

you will have a higher chance
of becoming the next commissioner.

But as long as Commissioner Baek shows
his support for Vice Commissioner Min,

no one knows what's going to happen.

You hit the lowest tax revenues this year.

Just last year,

sixteen employees were dismissed
for violating the law.

Are you sure you don't need my help?

Because in my eyes,
you've lost everything.

You're like a foolish feudal lord
who's locked up in his castle.

Why don't you use me?

If you try to weed out the bad apples,

you will face criticisms as well as risks.

But I don't have any relationships
with them to overlook their mistakes.

Do you think...

I can trust you that much?

I thought you were ambitious.

Then you should bet on your ambition.

And then please bet on my ambition next.

I joined this agency, so I could bring
a new future to the agency.

A new National Tax Service...

where no one will have to sacrifice
their lives...

for the rich.

That punk, Hwang Dong Ju.

Let's bring him here.

Sir.

Send him to Bureau Five.

Let's see
if he'll be a useful card to me...

or not.

- Bureau Five?
- Gosh.

Is something wrong?

(Reporter Kim Seok Min of Daeju Daily)

Remember Chairman Yang Young Soon
of Dongho Securities?

He issued phony corporate bonds.

There were over 30,000 victims.

- He's famous in the NTS as well.
- Stop taking photos!

His unpaid taxes are
over 30 billion won.

But he keeps saying that
he only has 1 million won in his account.

This is the bank account
of his secret fund.

NTS Joongang Regional Office
received the same intelligence.

But I'm not sure
if they want to catch this guy.

It sounds like there's something going on
between Yang Young Soon...

and NTS Joongang Regional Office.

We can't believe otherwise
if they fail to collect taxes again.

Then is it safe to say...

that you're going head-to-head
with Director In Tae Jun now?

I'm just doing what I can do.

The NTS has the right to audit,
and it can overpower the police...

and the prosecution's rights
to investigate and indict.

And if In Tae Jun becomes
the next commissioner,

no one would dare challenge him.

That's true.

(NTS Namju Regional Tax Office)

So you decided to go?

Yes. I'll probably get transferred
to Bureau Five.

You know about Bureau Five
and what they do there, right?

It's a special bureau
that handles the hardest cases.

So they say.

That's putting it nicely.

But that's nothing more than...

a garbage dump
they created to bury impossible cases.

That's why
only troublemakers end up there.

Well, a garbage dump suits my nature more.

I'll fit right in then.

- That's all good.
- Fine.

If you know that, you'll be fine.

I'll get going.

If you have any questions for me,

ask before you go.

It wasn't a coincidence you ended up here.

You came here knowing who I was.

You want to ask me about that incident.
Right?

I used to.

At one point, I hated you to death.

But...

I'm grateful now.

Only two people showed remorse
about the incident.

And you were one of them.

I want to treasure the four years
I spent here.

And I hope you will do the same.

So if I come to you for help one day,

I hope you will do me a solid
for the sake of our time together.

It sounds like
you're bound to end up in trouble.

Who knows what's going to happen there?

People are scarier than money.

So you came to me and formed a bond
because that will be more beneficial.

You'll be seeing me soon.

I'll really get going now.

Okay.

Do him a solid?

(Father)

I heard you were being audited.
Don't tell me that's why you're here.

I didn't do anything.

But they kept making it look like I did.

Dad.

I'm really glad you came to me today.

You should keep coming to me
and ask me to clean up your mess...

again and again.

Do you know what I've been up to?

You know
how you used to despise conglomerates?

I'm helping them with finance fraud
and illegal inheritance.

And I'll be even handling
the PQ's subsidiary's account.

But once I started, it was pretty easy.

It's so darn easy.

Thinking about
how you couldn't do something so easy...

left me speechless.

I had to grow up in orphanages
when I was a kid.

Once I grew up, whatever I do,
these guys keep getting in my way...

all because of you.

This is enough.

I shouldn't have come.

No. Keep coming to me.

That way, there won't be
an ounce of affection left in me.

Okay?

I have a favor to ask.

It's called the Happiness Foundation.

There must be a misunderstanding
between the foundation and the NTS.

Can you go check on it?

Yes, sir.

Okay. Keep a secret to the company.

- Okay?
- Yes, sir.

I got the call.

It was about the Happiness Foundation.

I just need you
to be a good representative.

- A representative for PQ.
- Of course.

Well, tax evasion, embezzlement,

and whatever. I don't care what you do.

Just make Hwang Chul Min come to me.

That's all you need to do for me.

Then you'll have all the accounts
of every PQ subsidiary.

Mr. Oh.

Come on.

Are you done?

Given the movement flow of the money,

Dongho Securities
is the source of the fund.

In other words,

this slush fund account probably belongs
to Yang Young Soon.

(Oh Young, Chief of Bureau 5)

Yang Young Soon!
You're sure about that, right?

Numbers don't lie.

Only people like you would lie.

Exactly! Numbers don't lie.

Young Ho.

Hey!

Ask the bank for cooperation right now.

And get ready to raid him. Okay?

If he gets away again this time,
it will be the end for all of us.

Okay.

But how did you know if it was
a slush fund account based on numbers?

Let's see.

All accounts are recorded in the order
of withdrawal, deposit, and balance.

Let's say this is your account.

Food costs, utility bills, dating costs...

and all will be withdrawals,

and by the time the balance reaches zero,

next month's salary will be deposited,
right?

- Right.
- Right?

But look at this account.

It doesn't have any withdrawals.

It keeps depositing.

Then when a certain time comes,

everything gets withdrawn.

Anyone smart enough
can immediately tell that...

this is the pattern
of a slush fund account.

This is the famous "Reverse L account",
you punk.

Gosh, there was such a way.

You don't have to know. Anyway,
only one or two guys will be promoted.

You were just chosen
to fill in the headcount.

Sorry?

It means you've already done your job.

For goodness' sake.

Gosh. My back hurts.

- Sir.
- You little...

Don't run into my boss on the way out.
Okay?

Otherwise, I can't give you
a part-time job like this again.

Gosh, you punks.

You aren't even giving me a cup of coffee
even though I worked for you.

Why don't you give me a cup of coffee?

- Stop it.
- I'm leaving, you punks.

Why are you coming out from here?

(Jang Jung Il)

(Director of Bureau 3,

Did you ask him to analyze the data again?

- You stupid little...
- It's not like that.

I heard there were some new products here.

These are only in that room.

All right.

Here.

Hey, get him a box of this.

Yes.

Gosh, look how shabby you are.

Thanks for the coffee.

Enjoy yourself.

Oh, right. Mr. Oh.

I ran into you just in time.

I have something to tell you.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

Let me ask you something.

Do you know where Bureau Five is?
It's not there.

They're not in the main building.

The rent here is expensive.

If you go down 300m to the right,

you'll see an academy building
that looks like it's about to collapse.

It's a building
that was paid in kind instead of taxes.

It can't be sold.

And that's where Bureau Five is.

Okay. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Is it your first time visiting
Bureau Five?

Are you an accountant?

Are you a tax accountant?

Yes. But why?

You're going to have a hard time.

Then give me some tips.

Just...

don't expect anything.

Don't expect that common sense
and compassion will work...

or that they can do something for you.
Just go.

Just go.

Is he an easygoing character?

He lives in a grand residence.

But he insists that
he only owns 1 million won of assets.

He's a deceitful human being!

with such poor evidence?

Sir.

We can go in and find the evidence.

I will definitely catch him this time.

carrying empty boxes.

I'm reported with the Chairman's account.

Well, I covered it.

But first, clear all the accounts.

What do you mean why?

What if they start investigating
through undercover?

So Mi, how can you bring a cat
when we're on an ambush duty?

It can't sleep without me.

- It's fine. Eat it.
- For goodness' sake.

- Good.
- Oh!

That's the bag, right? The one that
carried one billion won from the bank.

That's right.
His secret mistress was the delivery.

Then do we just need to catch her
coming out empty-handed?

Yes.

If the bag is left in the house,

it can be said that
it was delivered as a slush fund.

But what's the tax office doing?

He's spending one billion won
through delivery.

Anyway, we're from a nation of delivery.

(Bureau 5 team members' resume)

Goodbye.

Let's never see each other again.

(Seo Hye Young)

You have to look before you drive in.

- Is this your first time driving?
- What do you mean? I came first.

We crashed because you pushed in.

- You're making this worse.
- You see this? Mine is all broken.

Hey, I can't wait. I'll get off first,
so come on your own.

- What? Ms. Seo!
- What are you going to do about this?

- Why is that my problem?
- Ms. Seo!

- I can't communicate with you.
- Then call the insurance.

- Call the police.
- Police?

He's still conscious.
It's the third floor!

Please save him.

Where's your husband's phone?

You received a text from him saying sorry.

Where's the phone?

Why? You think I wrote something
resenting you all?

You killed him.

- Save him!
- Hey.

Save him.

Suicide...

is not covered by insurance.

I know this is cruel.

But you have to prepare for the worst.

You said money was scarier than death.

So tell me. Where's the phone?

It's in the bedroom.

I'll go.

Listen.

Tell the hospital that it was an accident.

Say that you were so surprised
that you reported wrongly. Okay?

What should I do?

If I'm left alone with my baby...

What should I do now?

Honey.

Honey!

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

(Bureau 5)

(Bureau 5)

You punks!

- Are you even human?
- Gosh, these people.

Pick up the phone!
I can't live with this noise!

Hey, you idiots.

Thanks for feeding me with the taxes.

You want me to get tax bills...

from the ladies selling in baskets?

As much as I ate,

you should try it too.

- Sir!
- You have to pay back as much as you owe.

- Sir!
- This is how it works.

Eat as much as you want from me.

What are you doing with the tax revenue?

You idiots. You crazy people.

You want me to get tax bills
from the ladies selling in baskets?

You crazy idiots.

Gosh.

You try eating it too.

- You little...
- Stop!

This is too ripe.

I'm...

Byun Bong Seok of Garak-dong!

What did you say?

My husband evaded taxes?

- Please, ma'am.
- Mr. Ko.

Give me something to wipe.

- Here.
- I'm not saying this...

because he's my husband.

He is a living sage!

He treats sick people all over the world.

- How dare you...
- Mr. Ko, what would you say?

Will you be creative?

- Stop talking nonsense.
- And?

Because your husband, a living sage,
transferred all the money...

earned from plastic surgery to China
and he's just a swindler.

- What? These crazy people.
- Mr. Ko!

A civil servant shouldn't talk like that.

People will think
that's all we've learned.

Honestly,
the best thing we can do is threaten.

- This is ridiculous.
- Because of that attitude,

people think it's common for us
to throw people on the streets...

through tax audits.

To be fair,
it's only two or three times a month.

We don't do it daily.

It's so unfair to talk about it.

Wait a minute. Can we talk and come back?

Let me go!

These crazy people.

Gosh, how annoying!

Gosh, this won't be working.

Let's negotiate with the director
as we did before.

How much is that?

I think about 300 million won.

- He's a director after all.
- What? You're crazy.

Ma'am. This is only possible
because it's Bureau Five.

- Gosh.
- He came just in time.

Hello, sir.

Which department are you here for?

Nice to meet you, sir.

I'm Hwang Dong Ju,
appointed as the chief of Bureau Five.

I heard
your official start date was tomorrow.

(An Sung Sik, the director of Bureau 5)

Anyway, nice to meet you.

I'm An Sung Sik,
the director of Bureau Five.

Even though it's my first time seeing you,
I think you have a very soft look.

You're totally my style.

This is Bureau Five.

Are you shocked? Sorry.

But you'll be used to it.

Why did this happen?

He lent his name...

to the owner of the company he worked for.

He promised a full-time job,

and he was expecting a baby soon.

He believed it wouldn't be a problem.

In the meantime,
the boss used his name to run a business.

Her husband didn't know he'd accumulated
hundreds of billions of corporate taxes.

How much was the fine?

It's 1.9 billion won.

How can he do this
for just 1.9 billion won?

Hey, a person could die for 10,000 won.

Everyone is in a different situation.

But we knew
the actual business was different.

Then we didn't have to go through
the foreclosure process!

Hey! Can we do whatever we want?

Name lending is illegal.

It's the lender's fault.

Now you're here erasing text messages
for her to be eligible for insurance.

Then what can I do?
There's nothing I can do.

Why is there nothing?

If you look at our department,
everyone who has money gets to go away.

That's why
we're referred to as the garbage dump.

Han Bin,

do you remember what Mr. Oh said?

Our job is to do nothing.

Don't expect to be able to do anything.

Don't even believe in hope.

Just...

be there and do nothing.

Then you can endure it.

- We're back.
- Yes.

Where have you been?

Why are your faces like that?

How about the chief? Is he in his place?

The chief? Don't we have a new chief?

He came by to say hello.

Right.

I need an explanation, sir.

I said the seizure
of real estate was too harsh...

so I told you to give me a little time.

Did you have to execute it
like this without notice?

He's a fool to sell his name.

But he did it to live.

A 23-year-old breadwinner did it
to survive.

I guess...

you don't even care to the slightest
to give me an answer.

I'll walk out by myself.

I'll just walk out by myself.

(Resignation Letter)

Thank you for everything.

I hope we never see each other again.

What are you so confident about?

Oh, my gosh.

Do you really think you won't see
each other because you said so?

I mean... Why are you here?

I'm happy to meet you.

I'm the new chief, Hwang Dong Ju.

Right.

It's not something to be so happy about.

You quit today and I start work tomorrow.

Then we'll never see each other again.

Why are you staring at me over there?

I'm happy to see you.

Yes?

I mean... I didn't hear anything from you.

How can we meet again like this?

What are you going to do after you quit?
Are you going to enjoy your free time?

Think about it for just one more week.

Yes?

I understand that you got hurt
and that you want to whine about it.

But the rest of us suffer because of you.

After proper procedures
and handing are over,

then quit.

At least that's what
people with a brain should do.

Taxi.

She's out.

- How about her bag?
- Why is it there?

I don't think she has it.
It's not with her.

Let me summarize this.

She brought one-billion cash
into that house.

If we get a testimony that the money owner
is Chairman Yang, it's a foreclosure, yes?

All the secret accounts.

- Why are you so far away?
- I'll get the testimony.

I'm so busy.

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Breaking news.

Daeju Daily reports that
it is confirmed that...

slush funds worth one billion won
in cash were handed over...

to the home of Yang Young Soon,
former chairman of Dongho Securities,

who sold corporate bonds
on the verge of bankruptcy...

and produced 30,000 victims.

I was just running errands for him.

Who would all that money belong to?

That miser took it all!

Former Chairman Yang
is a large delinquent...

with a delinquent amount
of 30 billion won,

but he has refused
to pay the national tax,

saying his entire fortune
is only 1 million won.

What kind of person is Yang Young Soon?

As you can see, the citizens gathered in
front of former Chairman Yang's house...

are waiting for the National Tax Service
to invoke the quick right to collect.

It is time
for the National Tax Service to answer...

whether it will be able
to meet the expectations of the people.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

(Mr. Yang)

Gosh.

This is a bad time to call.

I know that we're on the same boat.
Of course I know.

Well, that's why I'm telling you.

Let's get rid of the physical evidence
first. Those one billion won.

Why do you look like you're going to die?

Sir, I told you clearly.

I'm sure that the slush fund account
belongs to Chairman Yang.

Hey, if you were so sure,
you should've pushed me.

You're not making any progress...

because you're so complacent.

(Director Jang Jung Il)

Unless it's deep in the grounds,

that one billion won
would be somewhere in his house.

We'll bring them all in.

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

Do you know
how many cameras are out there?

What?

If we don't take action, who will?

Mr. Oh, you should pay a visit.

(Protesting in front of
former Chairman Yang Young Soon's house)

If we don't find one billion won...

in that live broadcast,

do you think it's fine for us...

to get humiliated nationwide?

What are you talking about?

You can't find all the money.

Just go and put up a show.

Put up a show?

Do you have connections with someone?

Do you miss the good old days?

Are you still the ace of the tax bureau?

If you want to win with your skills,
don't get pushed out.

Or you can bow down to Mr. In again.

But you can neither.

All right.

- Excuse me.
- Yes.

Where's everybody?

- They're dragged away to the live show.
- Apologize!

- Apologize!
- Apologize!

Let's show our desperate will.

Stand up, everyone. We have to stand.

Let's get his apology.
Let's show what we've got.

In the middle of that mess?

- Apologize!
- Apologize!

Arrest Chairman Yang!

- Arrest him!
- Arrest him!

(Dongho Securities Yang Young Soon's
Tax Investigation Report)

(Investigation closing report)

Yes, Mother.
I think I'll be a little late today.

I'm suddenly out to work.

I'm not sure what time I'll be home.

- Oh, my gosh.
- What's that?

Please don't let Seung Joo watch TV today.

- No cartoons either.
- Oh, gosh.

It's only a few days away.
What's going on?

- No TV today. Yes.
- We can't go in.

Be quiet!

Hey, hang up the phone.

No one is expecting anything from us.

So you don't have to do well as usual.

But if we can find something,
let's go find it.

Sometimes, you have to do something
that's not embarrassing.

Let's go! Oh, my.
How many cameras are there?

- Oh, gosh.
- Arrest him!

- Arrest him!
- It's the National Tax Service!

- It's the National Tax Service!
- It's the National Tax Service!

- It's the National Tax Service.
- Oh, gosh.

- Yes.
- Please save us.

- It's the National Tax Service!
- Save us.

Let's give it up for
the National Tax Service!

(Strike)

(Yang the financial fraud.
Everyone should pay taxes!)

(Arrears should be met
with severe punishments.)

(Yang the liar. Give us our money back!)

Let's give it up
for the National Tax Service!

NTS!

Mr. Yang Young Soon! I'm from the NTS.

Open the door!

Mr. Yang Young Soon!

Gosh. Mr. Yang Young Soon!

Mr. Yang Young Soon!

Mr. Yang Young Soon!

Mr. Yang Young Soon!

It's opening!

For goodness' sake.

Please come in.

I'm not well.

Even though
I'm living in my ex-wife's house,

before I die,

- Look at you.
- I'm glad I have this opportunity...

to apologize to the world.

(Dongho Securities Yang Young Soon's
Tax Investigation Report)

You reporters can come in, too.

(Home interior cost: 140 million won)

Yes, come on in.

Mr. Oh. I think we're screwed.

There's no going back in this game.
Carry on!

Please come in.

Come in.

Mr. Ko. Come in here. A headstone.

Yang Young Soon. Okay. Take it.

Is it eligible for a short sale?

Camera?

You don't know how stone collecting works.

That's where my parents are.

Nowadays, they turn ashes into stones.

Take them out.

Ms. An.

Gosh.

Come here. Don't turn away.

I don't think it's here.

Nothing here.

(Police)

(The NTS Starts Their Investigation)

Nothing?

Nothing.

Gosh.

I saw it with my own two eyes.

- Gosh.
- Got nothing?

No. Not a hint.

Mr. Oh. Come take a look.

- Did you find it?
- I think I did well on this one.

What is this?

I found a bag
hidden in the washing machine.

Mr. Kim.

Is this the bag with the slush fund?

- Yes, that's the bag.
- I'm certain.

Do you really need to do this?

There are things you cannot show.

It's a personal belonging.

Open it.

I am well aware...

that I have caused pain to many people.

As such, I made a promise to myself
to repay everyone...

after making a comeback.

Unfortunately,

I have late-stage colon cancer.

This is probably
how I am paying for my sins.

- Gosh.
- The sins I couldn't pay for...

I shall be in pain until the day I die.

Isn't the NTS in on this too?

Right!

Down with the NTS!

Down with the NTS!

The NTS was with them!

The NTS was with them!

Down with the NTS!

Down with the NTS!

The country should take responsibility!

I am so sorry.

Yes, sir.

I think that's enough.

- It's only going to get ugly from here.
- Sir.

I told you that you couldn't do it.

You're not capable of this.

Yes, sir.

Good job, everyone. Let's go.

Mr. Oh, can't we try just a little more?

That's enough.

- Mr. Oh.
- Excuse me.

Is this Mr. Yang Young Soon's house?

What's this smell?

Mr. Yang? His poop?

That's gross. Hey.

You shouldn't be sitting like that.

It's a really bad posture
for those with hemorrhoids.

Oh, my.

- Ms. An?
- Yes.

What's the current situation?

We searched the first and second floors.

We also checked the movable property
that could be foreclosed,

but we haven't gotten anywhere.

What about the wall?

The wall?

What about the wall?

There was a suspicious expense...

from his ex-wife two months ago.

Home interior cost.

But it doesn't really seem like
anything has been fixed, right?

Mold on this wall.

There's one billion cash in this house.

As long as it didn't disappear
into the ground,

that means it's hidden around here
somewhere.

Which means... Fake wall.

To anyone who finds the fake wall,

I'll buy you ice coffee with my money.

What are you waiting for?

Go!

Where did...

Mr. Yang hide it?

Excuse me.
Are you trying to break down the wall?

Is there a reason not to?

I'll go look for it, Mr. Yang.

What if you don't find anything?

If you're wrong,
it could embarrass us all.

Nothing's more embarrassing
than running away.

Or do you think that way...

because you're so used to running away?

What?

I don't know how you've worked so far...

that makes you drenched
in this sense of defeat,

but as long as I'm here,
my team won't work like that.

I found it! Over here!

These two pillars are unbalanced
and made of different materials.

The ventilator, too.
The front one and the back one...

are different as if something was hidden.

If the money is hidden here,

there must be a way to open it up.

Stop!

Stop it right now! You crazy punk!

Call the police.

Call the police! Right now!

Call the police!

Call the police right now!

Hey! You!

It's a 50,000-won bill.

A strange man will be joining your team.

Make him yours
if you think you can handle him.

But...

if you can't,

step on him
so he can never set foot here again.

He wants to be
Director In Tae Jun's right-hand man.

Will you be able...

to take in such a man?
