(The Auditors)

(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)

(Child actors were accompanied by family and were kept safe.)

You were the final decision maker on the tower crane purchase.

You used that power to purchase a tower crane...

without knowing when it was made at a normal price.

You took the difference in price...

through Myung Tower.

That feeble tower crane eventually fell and hurt people.

To cover up for your corruption,

you said the cause of the fall...

was the wind?

Gosh.

You're a funny person.

Can you prove it?

Give me the laptop.

How dare you talk about something you can't even prove in front of me?

I'm going to fire you from the board for defamation.

You will be remembered as the Audit Team manager...

who I fired after the shortest amount of time.

Someone is hiding...

the injury of the tower crane operator.

I think it's Mr. Bae.

What do you think?

Mr. Hwang is here.

You're done for.

Be careful.

Look who's here.

Gosh.

- Have you been well? - Yes, sir.

- This is Mr. Yang. - Hi.

Mr. Shin. Aren't you going to greet him?

What are you doing? Say hello to Mr. Hwang.

Who is this?

He's the new Audit Team manager.

The Audit Team manager?

Hurry up and say hello.

Why is he looking at me like that?

He's a lunatic.

Come on.

(The Auditors)

(Episode 2)

(Vice President Hwang Dae Woong)

That was my doing.

We should wrap up the construction as soon as possible.

It costs an astronomical amount of money.

Isn't wind a good reason?

Covering up a small incident...

caused a big accident.

What accident?

- I'm currently auditing. - Who?

Mr. Seo Gil Pyo, Mr. Bae Young Sik,

the president of Myung Tower,

and...

Me?

I'll audit all individuals related to the tower crane corruption.

Both executives and staff alike.

My goodness,

I'm impressed.

Where on earth did Se Woong find a gem like you?

Foreman Bae Young Sik has fled.

The laptop I need to audit also disappeared.

If you're done, I'll excuse myself.

Hey, punk!

That was what my old self would've said.

But now, I don't swear because people report...

to the Ministry of Employment and Labor nowadays.

I'll tell you nicely, so listen up.

If you don't find anything,

you'll be held responsible for causing a ruckus.

The Audit Team reports directly to the president.

Please go through the president...

to hold me responsible.

It will be me.

I'll make you pay for it.

I'm back.

What about Mr. Shin?

He left already.

Hey.

- Foreman Bae disappeared. - What?

He disappeared without paying the hospital bill.

There really must be a scandal behind the tower crane.

How did it go with Mr. Shin at Myung Tower?

The laptop.

Hey.

Get ready for a meeting.

Mr. Bae Young Sik.

Why did you conceal the reason that caused the crane to topple over?

If the cause is a natural disaster,

I hear we could be more speedy to resume the construction.

This was decided by the higher-ups.

I'd never decide on such a thing alone.

Foreman Bae disappeared.

He disappeared without paying the hospital bill.

There really must be a scandal behind the tower crane.

Someone is hiding the injury of the tower crane operator.

I think it's Mr. Bae.

What do you think?

Those selected for the audit...

are either manipulating evidence or running off with evidence.

If we don't hurry,

all evidence will become useless.

Fail to audit, and the company...

will suffer direct damage.

Focus, everyone.

(President Hwang Se Woong)

So you scouted the Audit Team Manager.

There wasn't a need to import a hunting dog.

We have countless of them here.

Or are you trying to screw me up?

You're going after Mr. Seo.

Why is auditing Mr. Seo screwing you up?

It's okay for him to skim company funds.

Even Father turned a blind eye.

That won't happen from now on.

- On whose order? - My order.

I'm the President.

Right.

Being the President is the best, isn't it?

On the day of the accident,

But the tower crane operator...

only suffered one broken leg.

We're currently 12 stories high.

He should've suffered serious injuries.

Blood was found on the cabin chair headrest.

In short, Mr. Bae ran away in fear he would get busted...

for lying about the operator's extent of injury.

He was worried he would get called to account as the site foreman.

Could this be the case?

No. Listen.

Had the operator suffered severe injuries,

why didn't the hospital get in touch?

Or are you suggesting Mr. Bae and the hospital worked together?

That's absurd.

The operator was lucky and got away with just a broken leg.

Did you question Mr. Choi Hyung Il?

Did you do it?

Without questioning him,

how can you believe in such a miracle?

Let's go question Mr. Choi right now.

We should check...

why Mr. Bae ran away and if he had a reason to.

I'll look for Mr. Bae.

There might be a way to find places he could've gone to.

Why don't we split into teams?

Ms. Ok and Mr. Moon will work together.

Ms. Yoon and I will work together.

It can't be helped. You are to work with Mr. Shin, Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu Han Soo will be transferred...

to a different department.

It's a decision I made as the manager.

Wrap things up well.

But...

Shin Cha Il asking for the laptop...

means he doesn't have it.

Right?

Where on earth could the laptop be?

It couldn't be collected.

Maybe someone picked it up.

That could be for the better.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions.

It must be found one way or another.

In my opinion, you should report...

to the Vice President yourself.

Darn it.

You can't drive a wrecked car.

I called for a tow truck.

Give me the car key.

You're not well, are you?

I already called our company car repair shop.

This will take some time.

We'll provide a company car for you.

- Wait just a minute. - Thank you.

Did you really not see the laptop?

I remember nothing after getting dragged away by the thugs.

When I woke up, you were already unconscious.

There is information on the laptop that will conclude the audit.

Do you have it?

I really have no idea.

- Goodness. - I'm in today, Mr. Choi.

- I'm in. - It must be a delivery, Hyun Hee.

Open the door.

What's this? Darn it.

- Good grief. - Seriously.

- Let's do this. - Oh, no.

Luck must be on your side.

- Hi, kid. - Hi.

- Who is he? - Hi. Who is Mr. Choi Hyung Il?

That's me.

We're from JU Construction.

Please answer our questions.

Back then, the materials were being pulled up from the surface.

But the tower crane collapsed with just the sudden gust of wind.

I thought I was going to die.

Struggling to live was futile.

I passed out filled with regret.

When I woke up, I was at the hospital.

- You were really lucky. - I was.

How do you know Mr. Bae Young Sik?

He's the foreman of the site, and I'm the operator.

So, no personal relationship?

No, none.

This is all I know. I can leave, right?

- Yes. Thank you for your time. - No worries.

Isn't everything clear now that the victim testified himself?

He lied that the cause of the accident was the wind.

He and Mr. Bae were junior and senior but didn't mention it.

Why didn't you argue back?

I let him be. There's a limit to auditing a subcontractor's worker.

Mr. Shin.

Tell me what you're thinking.

I really have no idea why you're stating...

everyone is lying.

What do you think Mr. Bae's inevitable circumstance is?

Something might be going on with his family.

With a sudden call, he could've been...

That's unlikely.

Go home.

Mr. Bae's house, the sauna he frequents,

the bar he's a regular at, and Mr. Kwak's house.

I tried all the places he could be, but he wasn't there.

What about his daughter's place?

She's the only family he has.

That's going too far.

Things could get complicated.

But without finding him,

everything is a mystery.

Let me visit. I've met her before.

Send me the address.

All right.

Here, have some.

Thank you.

We met at my wedding, right?

I remember my dad introducing you as his favorite.

I see.

We're going to surprise my dad about it on his birthday.

Please keep it from him.

I will.

By any chance...

Did you contact Mr. Bae today?

No, I didn't. Why do you ask?

I should tell you as you're his family.

Mr. Bae suffered a minor injury...

and was admitted to the hospital.

"Hospital?"

It's nothing severe.

But he suddenly left. I want to know why.

- The call cannot be connected. - What? He's not picking up.

Is something going on at the company?

There is information...

on the laptop that will conclude the audit.

Do you have it?

With that,

- you'll get transferred to Florida. - To Florida.

- Foreman Bae will return. - Return.

Here, thank you.

- Keep up the good work. - Bye.

- I'm back. - Do you want dinner?

- I'm good. - Something's up, right?

Tell me.

Well, we have a new manager.

He's blowing up the Audit Team.

He declares he's right and everyone is wrong.

What frustrates me is that...

he's right.

I went through that, too.

Whatever I did,

your mom criticized me.

Jeez.

But when I thought about it, she was right.

That made her more lovable.

If he's right, follow along.

Here.

When did he set up the password?

(JU Construction)

Hello.

- The Audit Team? - Yes.

- Your name? - I'm Gu Han Soo.

I see, Gu Han Soo.

Everyone's gone for the day. You're working late alone?

I have to take care of something in the office.

Please excuse me.

All right. Take it easy!

(Section 2, Inpo, JU Construction)

Sir.

This is the foreman's laptop, isn't it?

It's on Mr. Shin's desk, so it must be his.

Han Soo.

I'm going to ask you one more time, so answer wisely.

This is Foreman Bae's laptop, isn't it?

I think...

the laptop belongs to Mr. Shin.

You little...

It looks like we should restructure the whole team. You know?

Darn it.

Yes, Shin Cha Il speaking.

Mr. Shin. It's me, Han Soo.

The vice president has the laptop now.

He just left the office with it.

Vice President Hwang.

Hey, you scared me.

Word sure travels fast.

Hand over the laptop.

We need it for the audit.

(Section 2, Inpo, JU Construction)

I gave them the go-ahead to do this.

- Stop digging. - Embezzlement doesn't disappear...

just because someone had approved it.

Don't you understand Korean?

We suspect that someone lost their life because of it.

Hand over the laptop, please.

I'm reminded of the old days, seeing how you keep coming at me.

When I was a junior manager,

the redevelopment of a slum area kept getting postponed.

The residents kept only women and children on the front line,

so the subcontractors couldn't demolish a thing.

They thought they were being smart.

Do you know what I did?

I went in there alone with a steel pipe and destroyed everything.

I destroy anything and everything...

that gets in my way. I don't care what it is.

So, stop coming at me.

I will destroy you.

(Section 2, Inpo, JU Construction)

(JU Construction)

- Hello. - Thank you.

Isn't Mr. Shin here yet?

Oh, he went to the site.

But we don't know why.

How's Mr. Choi?

He said he was lucky. Although Mr. Shin thinks he's lying.

Lying, my foot. He's saying that because he knows he's wrong.

Hey, see? I was right about everything.

Right?

You all got too immersed in it.

There's no dashcam installed?

There was one.

(JU Construction, Inpo District)

- Does that work? - Yes, it does.

I bet Foreman Bae was caught on that camera on the day of the accident.

Foreman Bae really did his best.

Hit replay, please.

All right.

Mr. Shin.

What brings you here?

I'm here to check the security footage from the ER for the audit.

Sir, would it be possible for us to view your security footage?

Yes. Of course, we should help out if you need our cooperation.

Thank you.

But first, spare me a minute.

Happy birthday, honey.

He's the manager of our Audit Team.

He's here to wish Gun Woong a happy birthday on behalf of everyone.

He's here even though he's not family,

while Dae Woong isn't even here.

Watch what you say in front of the employees.

Gun Woong, Mr. Shin is a very capable manager.

We'll start afresh, so don't worry about the company.

Just focus on your recovery.

The accident took place...

two years after my brother was promoted to president...

after my father's death.

That's why I was put in charge of JU Construction,

and Dae Woong was promoted to vice president.

- You've met Dae Woong, right? - Yes.

We have different mothers.

So, he's rough around the edges.

He's very different from me and Gun Woong.

I rarely talk about myself to my employees.

But with you, I feel like I can tell you everything.

You know I really trust you, right?

The first step is the most important.

Please do a good job with the audit.

Darn it.

President Hwang went to the hospital for your brother's birthday.

Don't you have to go too?

I suppose you have a lot to hide,

seeing how you're trying to crack such a lame joke.

I burned that laptop,

so just be your usual self.

You burned it?

Why would you even worry about that? We're busy building apartments.

Let's play.

You've been under a lot of stress. Blow off some steam.

What about Shin Cha Il though?

I'll fire that jerk no matter what.

Go on. Go ahead.

Oh, my.

What a nice shot.

(Emergency Medical Center)

(Inpo tower crane accident)

(10:27am accident, ER admission after 4pm)

Here you go.

The files from Foreman Bae's office.

Thanks.

Why do you look so solemn?

I was looking into the day of the accident.

The timeline's a bit weird.

Is it?

- The accident was at 10:27am. - Yes.

The injured laborers were taken to hospital around noon.

But crane operator Mr. Choi...

was admitted to the ER after 4pm.

That's over five hours later.

Just a moment.

Isn't the hospital ten minutes from the site?

Maybe he felt a sudden urge to poop.

Who poops for five hours?

You're so naive.

When a man is injured,

his anal sphincter relaxes and stuff falls out.

However often you wipe.

It's torture.

That's nonsense.

Why is it nonsense?

The simple answer is the correct one.

Hello, Audit Team.

Yes, sir.

Got it.

Was it Mr. Shin? What did he say?

He wants the address of an Ahn Byung Jin.

Who's Ahn Byung Jin?

Does he want to visit?

I guess?

Ahn Byung Jin?

Hello, it's Yoon Seo Jin from the Audit Team.

I need the address of someone called Ahn Byung Jin.

Okay.

Text me the address too.

- Why? Will you join Mr. Shin? - Yes.

Won't you get told off for acting without orders?

Of course not.

He should stick close to Mr. Shin.

You're doing great, Han Soo.

Seo Jin.

I think the five hours is important.

Send me the address.

(From: Woohee Police Station)

(To Bae Young Sik, Inpo-gu Ganghu-ro 48-3)

(Ahn Byung Jin's address is Dorae-gu Baegil-ro 342 Gutaek Villa B03)

(Baegil-ro 342)

(Gutaek Villa)

Mr. Shin.

Mr. Shin.

Is anyone home?

What's this smell?

Mr. Shin.

Did you find the laptop?

This was Ahn Byung Jin's home, right?

Why were you here?

Why would he leave food out to rot...

This is Shin Cha Il.

It's Yoon Seo Jin.

I looked up tickets issued to Foreman Bae's car...

and found something odd on the day of the accident.

He was caught speeding three times on Route 77.

The times were 11:10am,

11:30am,

and 11:55am, three times.

I don't think these were taken en route...

from the construction site to the hospital.

On that day, Foreman Bae...

drove Mr. Choi to the ER five hours later.

I think...

this is the reason.

Good work.

Can I know what...

Let's go.

(Route 77)

(Darang Reservoir)

Why are we here?

Please tell me.

You told me to wrap things up well.

I took this photo from that home.

The man who operated the tower crane that day.

Ahn Byung Jin.

But...

the tower crane operator was Mr. Choi.

The person from the tower crane is not the man brought to the ER.

Foreman Bae switched them.

This is Byung Jin.

There's a tower crane operator called Ahn Byung Jin.

We rarely hire him because he caused an accident.

I guess they were rushed enough that day to hire him.

Then...

where is Ahn Byung Jin now?

This reservoir is a 90-minute drive from the site.

Mr. Choi lives two hours from here.

It takes 90 minutes to get from Mr. Choi's to the hospital.

He probably saved 5 to 10 minutes max by speeding.

It's not enough time to dig a hole.

What do you mean "dig a hole?"

The ER CCTV showed...

Foreman Bae left muddy footprints.

He was here.

Foreman Bae was here? To do what?

Ahn Byung Jin never returned home after the accident.

Mr. Bae dropped him in here?

Come on.

No way.

No way.

I may not know him completely,

but Foreman Bae would never do that.

You don't know Bae Young Sik at all.

It's not him.

Who would do such a thing?

I got into the laptop.

I saw the secret contract.

Mr. Bae was the foreman,

so he'd need the secret contract...

in case he had to get parts to fix the crane.

He embezzled, yes, but...

Foreman Bae would never do something like that.

That's why I say you can't be on our team.

Mr. Bae deserted...

a severely injured man to hide his embezzlement.

That's deceiving and destroying the organization.

I want to report a missing person.

- Darang Reservoir... - Over there.

Let's look over there.

It won't be too late to report then.

If Mr. Bae's there,

I'll make him turn himself in.

Please give me a chance.

(Dowoon Physicist)

(Dowoon Physicist)

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Do you have any inpatients?

No. Is this your first visit?

You really don't have any inpatients?

We don't. What's ailing you?

Can we look around the rooms?

Hey, there's no one here.

- We won't take long. - You can't go inside!

Let us just check.

- No! - Just this once.

- You can't! - Just a look around.

Mr. Bae!

Leave us alone.

Darn you.

You brought a badly injured man to a physicist?

Will you go away?

Darn you!

Wait!

Why are you doing this?

Han Soo. Byung Jin's alive.

So just go away!

Then nothing will happen!

You neglected a severely injured man and tried to cover it up.

If you don't stop,

we'll all die here!

She's my daughter. A beauty, right?

She's the prettiest when she smiles.

Mr. Bae.

Calm down and look at me.

Do you remember that time we talked in front of a bar?

You boasted that your daughter has a beautiful smile.

Your daughter is crying right now.

Why is she crying?

We visited her place to look for you.

I explained to her what happened,

and she cried.

She says she's pregnant.

You should live to see your grandchild.

What a piece of junk.

Hurry and get him out.

Hey.

Hey, get up.

What is it?

Mr. Seo,

there was an accident.

The tower crane toppled over.

The operator...

I think the operator died.

Byung Jin? Byung Jin!

(Dowoon Physicist)

Are you crazy? Why would I get admitted to a hospital?

You only work if you get paid under the table,

so Byung Jin even switched turns...

- and operated it in your place! - Then you should've paid me!

- Darn it. - What?

Do you need me to tell your wife that you're gambling again?

Should I tell her you're throwing away half...

of your wages gambling?

- Gosh. - Hyung Il, please.

It's just for a week.

You'll get paid compensation too.

I can't believe the things I do for you.

- Gosh. Where to? - Thank you.

Go.

I'm sorry.

Even if you were lucky,

you should have a broken leg at least.

Mr. Seo told me...

the construction would be halted if anyone died.

He said I'd be arrested.

I was scared of that.

But how did you dare do something so serious?

I wanted to put up a nice wedding for my daughter,

so I received money from Mr. Seo.

Did you receive money from him?

I knew the tower crane was faulty.

He also promised the workers full-time jobs.

Ever since I took that money,

I became Mr. Seo's puppet.

(Ward 2)

Transfer him to the Naseon General Hospital.

(Ambulance)

(JU Construction)

Something disgraceful happened at our company.

Luckily, there were no deaths,

so it won't make too much noise.

The problem is with the testimony from the foreman.

Apparently, he was ordered.

When people are cornered, they're bound to make excuses.

Is it irrelevant to you?

What good would it do for me to order something like that?

He hid someone nearing death to avoid trouble.

Why would you listen to him?

Let's treat some reporters to a meal and wrap it up.

I heard the wall construction went well.

We should go treat the workers to glasses of makgeolli.

Let's do that.

I request to perform a special audit on Mr. Seo Gil Pyo.

I accuse him of these suspicions.

"Suspicions?"

How dare you?

Our special audits include...

Old Man Hwang and the major shareholders.

(Proposal for Disciplinary Action)

One slip and you could get humiliated,

President Hwang.

Please prepare it.

That jerk...

It's my fault. I was sloppy.

Don't worry.

You always cleaned up after me whenever I made a mess.

You'd take Father's beating in my place too.

This time, I'll repay you.

Gosh, why didn't the foreman take the operator to the hospital?

The punishment wouldn't have been much.

Sometimes people make the wrong judgments.

This is no time to sit back and relax.

We're also guilty of taking bribes.

What bribes?

You're right.

We did.

Drinks, taxi fare, and gifts.

It'd be a headache if all of these are taken into account.

Gosh. Hey, Han Soo.

Did Mr. Shin say anything about us?

(Name: Hwang Dae Woong)

I have to find the laptop.

What are you saying? So did he or not?

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

We'll perform a special audit on Mr. Seo Gil Pyo.

It'll happen at 2pm on March 13 in the meeting room.

The president, executives, staff, and major shareholders will attend.

Please prepare for it thoroughly.

- Okay. - Okay.

Strange. How strange.

He's performing a special audit on the senior managing director?

He's wasting his time. He's digging his own grave.

This will get Shin Cha Il fired for sure.

Please, Mr. Yang.

Luckily the laptop is gone. It would cause so much trouble.

I'm amazed by the Vice President.

I can't believe he burned it.

Keep it down.

Was the laptop burned?

Did he really burn it?

Have a good day, Mr. Yang.

Mr. Gu, follow me. Come on.

Han Soo. That's none of your business, isn't it?

Your business is with Mr. Shin.

Report his every move to us, Han Soo. Got it?

I really regret listening to you.

Good gracious. Hey.

(Yeonseon Police Station)

Allow me to visit him for a bit.

Mr. Bae.

What? Han Soo.

What about Byung Jin?

Mr. Ahn is a lot better now. And he'll get better.

I shouldn't have followed the order.

The moment I saw my daughter,

I realized I committed a crime.

Yes. It's a grave crime.

You should get punished for your wrongdoings,

but we should find out what you didn't do.

On the day you talked with Mr. Seo over the phone.

Did you record it?

Of course not. I was all over the place.

(Myung Tower President)

Yes, Gu Han Soo speaking.

The tower crane assembled with imported parts from overseas...

- took the lives of workers... - Proper production standards...

don't exist for tower cranes.

Similar to traffic fatalities,

- without circumlocution... - The tower crane accident...

- was caused by old... - The tower crane that passed fit...

- Had the accident... - The one...

- not happened... - responsible...

Mr. Shin.

Myung Tower's President wants to continue our deal.

He will testify during the special audit.

Saying he can't hide the truth, he will disclose...

the transfer details between him and Mr. Seo.

I'm sorry I took the laptop.

It was wrong of me, Mr. Shin.

(JU Construction)

It's been a while.

Hi.

Numerous special audits were held when your father was here.

He loved it when people gathered.

Shouldn't you mind your manners? He's the President now.

Nonsense. I practically raised Se Woong.

Don't cause any trouble.

Keep this up, all right?

You must be nervous.

It's only natural. They'll give you the ax.

And I really will chop your head off.

No, stop it.

Verbal abuse in companies is a big problem, right?

Report me to the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

I'll acknowledge what I did.

(JU Construction)

Where's Gu Han Soo?

I'll give him a call.

Thank you very much for making a tough decision, Mr. Park.

Well, anyone would do the same.

Here comes Mr. Shin.

(JU Construction)

I'm the Audit Team Manager Shin Cha Il.

Let's start the special audit.

Around 10am on January 16, 2024,

a tower crane collapsed...

at the construction site of Inpo Apartment.

The missing certificate of manufacture...

and the defect of the unapproved tower crane...

were the cause of the accident.

The Audit Team made an amateur mistake.

Honorable President and executives.

It is regrettable to hold such a meeting, regardless of all reasons.

Our newly appointed Audit Team Manager...

is too passionate.

Historically speaking,

as construction companies...

could no longer possess tower cranes due to the IMF,

they weren't obligated to submit certificates of manufacture.

Hence, tower cranes weren't approved and wore out.

That's why finding a decent tower crane...

has become harder than finding a decent assemblyman.

You are wrong.

Certificate of manufacture has become mandatory years ago.

We should've received a functional tower crane...

with proper sorting and screening procedures.

The construction cost us over 700 million dollars.

Even a day of delay causes a big loss.

We can't waste time on a tower crane.

People's lives depend on it.

You're determined to make me the bad guy, aren't you?

Every year, 2,000 people die in car accidents.

Even if sturdy cars...

and safe roads are built,

people die if luck is not on their side.

The recent accident was purely out of bad luck.

It is not such a wide-ranging issue.

Less than ten tower cranes are used in an apartment construction site.

Follow the rules strictly,

and accidents can be prevented.

You can't treat it with luck.

I may look irresponsible,

treating it with luck.

But the result will be the same...

regardless of who selects the tower cranes.

Why did you pay for it as a functional tower crane?

And why did you keep the difference...

and not transfer it to the company?

I kept the difference?

Who said so?

The President of Myung Tower, who supplies tower cranes...

to JU Construction, will testify.

What was that?

Don't get nervous. Please only state the truth.

How dare you slander me?

Why would I slander you, Mr. Seo?

I...

came to thank Mr. Seo for doing business...

with Myung Tower.

Mr. Park. You said you had the bank transactions.

I did?

I never said such a thing.

The President of Myung Tower will not testify.

He made a promise to me.

Mr. Seo and him are relatives.

He must know the laptop is missing.

That promise to testify is a trap.

(Glass Bottles)

Search...

for something else.

Who prepares a special audit like this?

It's a total mess.

The President shouldn't have the authority...

over the Audit Team Manager.

There is another worker responsible for this recent accident.

- It's Foreman Bae. - Play this.

Responsible for the site,

Mr. Bae Young Sik knew the tower crane was defective.

In order to stop him from talking,

someone bribed him.

And it was Mr. Seo Gil Pyo.

That's absurd!

What's wrong with you, Mr. Shin?

What is it?

Mr. Seo,

there was an accident.

The tower crane toppled over.

The operator...

I think the operator died.

What? Are you sure?

Yes. I think so.

I'm driving with him in my car.

He's not breathing.

Did anyone see?

Did anyone see him die?

No, no one saw him die.

Bury him somewhere quiet...

- or throw him in the water. - What?

Deal with him in secret!

You want me to do what?

Keep your wits about you.

If someone dies, the police will get involved.

They'll find out you and I accepted bribes from Myung Tower,

and that we were using a defective tower crane!

If that happens, you and I will never see daylight again.

Do you get that?

This was recorded...

on a dashcam on the day of the accident.

Mr. Bae was going to dump the operator in a reservoir,

but he changed his mind.

Senior Managing Director Seo Gil Pyo...

avoided the duty his title comes with and threatened...

the lives of many workers by saying...

machinery operates on luck and old practices.

And he secretly shared bribes with the foreman...

and embezzled habitually.

JU Construction is of the opinion...

that we can no longer work with Senior Managing Director Seo.

I request the Special Audit Committee...

give Senior Managing Director Seo...

the maximum penalty...

of dismissal.

Criminal charges will be pressed by the police waiting outside.

Myung Tower sells defective cranes and is a corrupt subcontractor.

We must cut ties with them...

and sue for damages.

Yes. That is the right thing to do.

I also demand Vice President Hwang be penalized.

Vice President Hwang...

damaged a laptop that held evidence in this investigation.

You have two options.

One, deny you didn't do so.

Two, admit doing so and apologize.

If you choose option one,

I'll play CCTV footage of you burning the laptop.

There were many cameras at the scene.

The choice is yours.

I apologize.

JU Construction is working properly at last.

Mr. Shin told me...

to find the dashcam.

He said Mr. Bae would know, so I visited him to ask.

He said he'd smashed the dashcam...

and dumped it in Mr. Choi's villa garbage site.

So what?

That was over a month ago.

I searched all the garbage...

wondering if it would be there.

Dashcam memory cards are tiny.

It was stuck in a corner of a garbage can...

and I found it.

Good for you, Gu Han Soo.

- I'm impressed. - Thanks.

Well done.

What was Mr. Shin...

going to do if you couldn't find the recording?

- What do you think? - Goodness.

Sorry.

Why did you jump?

I bet he'd have packed and run.

Get back to work.

Why make a fuss when you found just one thing?

Goodness. You think you're amazing.

(Audit Report)

You barely had the time to settle in.

Good job, Mr. Shin.

I only did my job.

It's so reassuring.

Do what you always do...

and take good care of JU Construction.

What's so funny?

Mi Jin.

The Audit Team has a new manager.

He docked my pay for three months.

What the heck?

What the heck, right?

Your kid isn't home yet?

She texted to say she got the bus. She'll be here soon.

You didn't see her today?

We don't say hi at work.

That's her.

I'm home.

Hello, kiddo.

- Hi. - Come and eat.

Your new manager's good at his job.

Our son is good at his.

He found the crane operator.

If not, he could've died in that clinic.

Our son knew the foreman wouldn't cross the line.

He takes after me.

How so?

The smile.

We could've found the operator sooner.

I was...

clueless.

Mr. Shin.

What about...

my transfer?

That's on hold.

("Audit Innovation, the Answer is Forensics")

Hello.

Hello.

Did you read this book?

- Yes. - Then you must know.

Don't you think we're like the in-house police?

No.

We're office workers who work for a pay, a profit.

Right.

- Hello. Good morning. - Hello.

Good morning.

- Hello. - Morning.

- Good morning. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Mr. Yeom. - Yes?

Get me a coffee.

With ice?

The tower crane accident...

was a man-made disaster due to poor auditing.

I'm sure you saw and felt how disastrous things get...

when you don't do your jobs.

As long as I'm the manager,

such audits will not be tolerated.

Brace yourselves...

and do your duty as a member of the Audit Team.

That's all.

I'll get it.

Hello, Audit Team.

I understand.

Mr. Shin.

You're wanted outside.

- Give it back! - Give it back!

Do the responsible thing!

- Be responsible! - Be responsible!

Arrest the criminal!

- Arrest them! - Arrest them!

Give our money back!

- Give it back! - Give it back!

Do the responsible thing!

- Be responsible! - Be responsible!

Arrest the criminal!

- Arrest them! - Arrest them!

Give our money back!

- Give it back! - Give it back!

Do the responsible thing!

- Be responsible! - Be responsible!

Arrest the criminal!

- Arrest them! - Arrest them!

I am Shin Cha Il, the manager of the Audit Team.

I'd like an interview.

Cha Il.

You said you two dated. You were in a relationship.

I'll leave once I see Mr. Shin leave.

If you want to keep your position even just a little longer,

I suggest you fire that scumbag first.

What is this? Is this for real?

I need your explanation to understand...

- the nature of your relationship. - Darn it!

I can't get my job done because that jerk keeps getting on my nerves.

Anyone would do it when embezzlement becomes their goal.

Taking full advantage of someone's trust. That's how it begins.
