(Episode 3)

(Discussion on Selecting Exemplary Taxpayer Companies)

(National Tax Service)

(National Tax Service)

Who made it okay...

to think that people with power can be shallow?

Who created a notion...

that taxes should be paid by the powerless?

Aren't we here to stop that?

The commissioner is here.

- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.

Why do you keep running away?

(Director In Tae Jun)

(National Tax Service)

(Oz Foods)

Get their consent first.

- We'll head straight to the office. - Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

(National Tax Service)

Your phone has been swapped, ma'am.

Get moving. Hurry! For goodness' sake.

(Finance Department)

- Hey, what are you doing? - Sorry?

I'm asking how you're going to cover your tracks!

Right, my phone. Hold on.

We're from the National Tax Service.

- Is the director inside? - She's in a meeting at the moment.

Hold on. Don't you smell something burning?

What are you doing?

My gosh.

- What? - Oh, no.

Hello. I'm Han Kyung Pyo, the Finance Director.

What brings you here from the National Tax Service?

I don't think I have introduced myself yet.

But you already know that I'm from the NTS.

(Finance Department)

What is going on?

Darn it. Hey.

Hey, look.

Does this look normal to you?

I already explained it to you.

We've been doing some repairs since yesterday to replace the server.

Who removes all the documents...

and hard drives from the premises to do repairs?

Also, how come no one showed up for work?

I work in a different department, so I have no idea.

Ask them directly when they're here.

Then what's wrong with that security camera?

It's broken, so we're replacing it at the moment.

- Why are you so angry? - I'm sorry.

Darn it.

All the reports and documents are gone.

It means they knew we were coming.

We can't reach anyone on the finance team at the moment.

What do you think?

Do you think we can find the ledger before time's up?

What happened? Did you get there?

We're doomed. They knew that we were coming.

- What? - There's nothing here.

All the related books and ledgers are gone!

Mr. Park, what are you doing?

Mr. Hwang Dong Ju.

Shall I bury all of you together?

How dare you get a warrant issued without the right to investigate this?

I will kindly let this one go for old times' sake, so stop here.

It's against business ethics to dig into a company...

that someone else has already investigated.

What if I refuse?

Really?

Then shall I file an official complaint?

Then you won't be the only one getting hurt.

Goodness.

Let's end this on a good note. Don't get cheeky with me.

Unless Mr. Hwang Dong Ju is an idiot,

I'm sure he got the message. Right?

I'm sorry,

but maybe my ears are plugged. I can't really hear you.

What?

I guess you still haven't quit that habit of yours.

How much did you get from them?

What did they give you?

You little piece of...

Hey, it's not like I don't want to find it.

I'm just afraid we wouldn't be able to find it before the deadline.

I don't even smell a single penny.

Is that so? Then stay put and wait right there.

I'll track down the money that's gone.

I can smell the dirty money from all the way over here!

Hey. You little... What did you say? Hello?

Hey, Seo Hye Young. Call Hwang Dong Ju at once...

What? What is it?

Know your place. Do you think you can cook up something behind my back?

Come on, you know that it's not allowed.

- Please. - Forget it. I never heard any of this.

I'll treat you to soju next time.

Thank you for the drink.

(Pay your taxes for our nation's brighter future!)

What? You want to get Bureau Three involved?

Yes. Tell them we received a tip-off about Oz Foods.

But they won't sit back and do nothing. They'll try to stop us at all costs.

That's exactly what I want. Bureau Three trying to stop us.

A number of people know about my past,

so they'll think they won't be able to stop me easily.

Then they'll most likely make a reckless move.

Hiding the ledger, for example.

Hiding the ledger...

Don't tell me you think Oz Foods...

has a cushy relationship with Bureau Three.

What do you think this is?

Isn't this from a paper thimble?

A tip-off on tax evasion? What is this?

The footage from five years ago...

shows Director Shin Da Hye holding a ledger.

The exact same copy that we have.

I know for a fact that there's no other copy.

So how did Director Shin get her hands on it?

Through the National Tax Service.

(National Tax Service)

The person who received the tip-off handed it over to Oz Foods.

This thimble print here...

proves it.

The NTS employees often use it because they have to...

review many documents in a short amount of time.

(Report on Oz Foods' Tax Evasion)

Without even realizing it, this person left a fingerprint...

that screams, "The National Tax Service."

I'm sure the person who betrayed the informant...

and aided Oz Foods' tax evasion is someone in Bureau Three.

Let's find out who this person is.

I have reviewed...

the list of nominees that was submitted to me.

And they're all well-reputed companies.

The Joongang Regional Office's nominations especially stand out.

But did you make sure that they're companies that strictly adhere...

to the law and business ethics?

The exemplary taxpayers will be like the face of the NTS.

Can we pass everyone on the list?

You'll have to take responsibility for the result.

Of course, Mr. Baek.

All the companies selected by us...

are well qualified.

- Chief of Bureau Four... - No, I have objections.

I must raise objections.

Among the nominees, Oz Foods...

Yes. Among the nominees,

everything regarding Oz Foods...

should be excluded from your consideration.

Oz Foods is a corrupt company...

that has committed tax evasion.

If they're named one of the exemplary taxpayers...

No! That should never happen!

That lunatic.

- Get out. - You can't be here.

State your name and rank.

Which department?

I'm Hwang Dong Ju, the manager of Team 1 in Bureau 5.

Can you take responsibility for what you said just now?

Since you said it in front of everyone, you'd better have proof.

Absolutely, sir. How dare he...

Yes, I do have proof.

This contains a video clip from an Oz Foods employee...

who was harshly questioned for sending the tip-off on tax evasion...

five years ago.

Can I plug this in? Please, this once.

Sorry.

Tax evasion tip-off? What's this?

And you call yourself a senior manager?

I've been keeping a lunatic like you on the payroll all this time?

- My goodness. - How dare you?

- Oh, dear. - This is nuts.

Sir, some lunatic is causing a scene.

What? Who?

There's a commotion in the conference room right now.

I heard he was a team manager in Bureau Five.

All of you. Do your job right!

- Why are you showing us this? - What is this?

- Go back to work. - Exemplary taxpayer, my foot.

I can't believe they nominated such a company.

(Commissioner Baek Seung Ryong)

Why am I...

Why am I showing you this?

Because there's another problem we must solve.

After being physically and verbally assaulted by his employer,

this employee died of a heart attack.

(Lee Ki Dong, In Tae Jun)

(National Tax Service)

Had his employer not found out about the tip-off,

it certainly wouldn't have happened.

Are you saying someone inside the NTS exposed the informant's identity?

Yes, that's correct.

We shouldn't be listening to this nonsense, sir.

Mr. Hwang Dong Ju.

How dare you make such an accusation based on mere speculation?

Besides, Bureau Three is in charge of Oz Foods.

But I've been told that investigators from Bureau Five...

raided their office without permission. Can you explain this?

How dare you act like a hero when you don't even know the basic rules?

Right, I do apologize.

However, you left out the most important part.

Bureau Five happened to raid their office...

just after all their books and ledgers were removed from the premises.

- What? - All their books are gone?

Don't take things out of context.

They've been doing some repair work since yesterday,

- so it's not unlikely. - It is.

Because I know that everything was there until this morning.

Yes. Like you said,

they're suddenly sending me on a work trip.

A work trip?

I hope things didn't go wrong.

No, don't worry. But there's something I need you to do before you leave.

- What's that? - This is...

a photo of today's newspaper...

taken in front of Oz Foods' financial documents.

(Finance Team 2, Daeju Daily)

- It's true. - He's right.

My goodness.

The fact that they suddenly started doing repair work in the office...

and that all the ledgers vanished all of a sudden...

even though they were there until this morning...

could mean that someone inside the NTS...

gave them a heads-up about the audit, don't you think?

Those in Bureau Three had access to this information...

because they were informed of the audit in advance.

(Jang Jung Il)

Those at the managerial level and up, to be specific.

I request that they be investigated.

Shut your mouth! Stop being so unreasonable!

Chief Jang Jung Il, please calm down and watch what you say.

Mr. Baek, let's wrap up this meeting here.

Regarding what's been brought up today,

the Joongang Regional Office will look into...

No. The Inspection Department at the Head Office will investigate this.

Investigating two departments...

at the same time will be too much.

Two departments?

Suspicion has been raised concerning Bureau Three,

and Bureau Five...

ignored the rules and pushed ahead with an audit without permission.

I believe that both of them should be investigated.

Mr. Hwang.

The audit on Oz Foods. Did you decide that on your own?

No, ma'am. It wasn't my idea.

I was simply following Chief An Sung Sik's orders.

Chief An Sung Sik, please answer.

Is it true that you gave this order?

Betray him first because he'll betray you anyway.

Mr. Im Jong In in Bureau Two...

is transferring to the Head Office, not you.

Chief Jang Jung Il did not keep his promise.

Yes, I told him to do it.

I had no choice.

I'm convinced that someone inside the NTS helped Oz Foods.

I will undergo an investigation.

If you conclude that it was a groundless suspicion on my part,

I will accept any disciplinary measures.

However,

I asked that everyone who has worked...

in Bureau 3 at the managerial level and up for the past 5 years...

also undergo an investigation.

You traitor!

- What? - What is going on?

- What's with him? - Oh, dear.

No, please don't get the wrong idea.

I didn't do anything.

It's not me.

I have a question.

Then isn't it only fair that Bureau Five takes over the investigation on Oz Foods?

(Commissioner Baek Seung Ryong)

Sure, let's do that.

Do your best to deliver meaningful results.

However, Bureau Five has no leader at the moment.

Mr. Oh Young, I'd like you to be in charge.

Me?

What would you like me to do, sir?

- Get out. - Yes, sir.

Well, the limitation period is ending soon,

so we should get going.

We will conduct a fair investigation and come back!

We got this!

Oh, right. My USB stick.

Young Ho, when will we get the keys?

Hey, let's go in.

I just want to help. Why would you turn down my kind gesture?

You've always been this way. Just showing up with a spoon...

when the table is already set.

But then again, everyone in Bureau Five is like that.

You guys have no ethics. Am I wrong?

Is something wrong with your brain? No, right?

Has a woman ever asked you out? Never, right?

Is there a reason I can't go in? No, right?

Then I'm going in.

Hey, Dong Won. Do you want to be demoted again?

Why were you demoted in the past?

Right, you leaked info from the Inspection Department.

Hey, I was falsely accused.

Darn you. It's time we put an end to this once and for all.

- You jerk! - Hey, it hurts!

- Hold on! - Hey!

- You fools! - Ouch!

Hey.

You little...

Inspection? What inspection?

Hey, I didn't even do anything. Why...

Hey! I'm losing hair!

- Hey, stop! - Let go!

Let go, you piece of...

All of you, stop!

All of you in Bureau Three are to leave at once.

- Sir. - Sorry?

What are you waiting for? We're leaving!

Come on.

What's going on?

My gosh, you need to see this.

(Mr. Hwang Dong Ju)

(Managers in Bureau 3 and Chief An Sung Sik...)

(will undergo investigation. Proceed as planned.)

My gosh. Our strategy must've worked.

They'll investigate everyone at the managerial level?

What on earth did Mr. Hwang do?

I told you we could count on him.

He's really clever.

My gosh, I didn't think he could pull this off.

Oh, there he is. Please hurry up and open the door.

Ms. An, we found them. Have you checked the security footage yet?

Let's hurry.

Hey!

Hey, you nutjob.

What's with you? Where did you even come from?

Hey! How dare you pull such a trick and blow the whistle...

on someone inside the NTS in front of the Commissioner?

Sorry about that.

But things happen, you know?

What? Hey!

Someone died while trying to tip us off,

so we must find out who betrayed him.

In just ten hours, the tip-off will lose its validity.

Do you have evidence that it was Jang Jung Il or someone in Bureau Three?

All you have is circumstantial evidence, you fool.

No, it's no longer just circumstantial.

It was Chief Jang Jung Il.

We heard a crucial statement against him in the conference room earlier.

You see, Chief An Sung Sik is an opportunist.

He's held out in Bureau Five...

because he expected that it'd pay off in the end.

What would happen if someone betrayed him and took it all away from him?

He'd want to get back at the person, right?

Someone inside the NTS...

gave them a heads-up about the audit, don't you think?

Those in Bureau Three had access to this information...

Considering that he's an opportunist,

I know he wouldn't step in if he had nothing to fall back on.

He only made the move because he was sure.

Sure about what?

That he can take down Chief Jang Jung Il...

once the Inspection Department takes over.

There's no evidence, so he asked that everyone in Bureau Three be investigated.

However, I'm certain that he's seen and heard things.

Hey, come on in.

This is Ms. Shin Da Hye from Oz Foods.

- Hello. - Something that can help us determine...

the relationship between Oz Foods and Chief Jang.

So you lied that Chief An ordered you to do it?

Why?

In your eyes, does An Sung Sik look like someone who'd fight for justice?

Well, I thought he looked like someone...

who'd use others' weaknesses to stab them in the back.

And my prediction was on point.

In that conference room, Chief An Sung Sik...

snagged the opportunity to trample on Jang Jung Il and became a hero.

An Sung Sik's betrayal...

is solid evidence that Jang Jung Il was the culprit.

To me, that still sounds like there's no solid evidence at all.

It's been a while.

I heard someone in Inspection Department was incredibly rude.

That was obviously you.

Of course. I respect that you're always so consistent.

Get lost, you punk. How dare you look me in the eye?

Well, there is no way it was Chief Jang Jung Il.

We've been keeping tabs on him,

but nothing in his call logs or list of assets links him to Oz Foods.

It's possible that there's something you guys didn't check.

Even if that is the case, it'll be hard to secure firm evidence now,

all because of you.

You made such a big fuss about it.

So naturally, he'll do whatever it takes to cover his tracks.

No, we still have a chance.

I'd say...

the game is only beginning now.

(Sales Reports, Year 1990-1995, Year 1996-2000)

Have you found anything yet?

Ledgers from 2010 or later are nowhere to be found.

- Keep looking. - I don't think they're here.

They must've moved them elsewhere.

Same here.

Ten years' worth of documents and even all the hard drives are gone.

They'd fill at least 15 boxes.

But there's no trace of them being moved.

No trace of them being moved?

Ms. An.

Do you remember the time when we audited Younghu Construction?

Of course, I do.

The CEO threw ledgers with over 1,000 pages out the window.

Gosh, to pick up all those...

Maybe they didn't have to carry them out of the building.

The windows.

What time did Mr. Geum Dong Sik leave the office today?

He left at 7:30 a.m.

I need a list of all the vehicles that entered the premises...

- after 7:30 a.m. today. - Sure.

If they threw the ledgers out the window,

I'm sure someone grabbed them and moved them elsewhere.

The game is only beginning now? What do you mean?

What makes us most uncomfortable?

Someone trying to dig up dirt on us.

We know that you're bound to find something if you keep digging.

This fool here made all that fuss,

so I'm sure rumors are spreading fast.

And everyone on the list of people to be investigated...

I bet they're on pins and needles now.

(Bureau 4)

Did you hear?

Because of Oz Foods, everyone in Bureau Three will be summoned.

- Seriously? - Yes.

- You didn't know? - You never worked in Bureau Three, right?

If they've worked together on the same team for a long time,

they'd know who had a close relationship with Oz Foods.

Hey, Mr. Seo. You used to work in Bureau Three.

Will you be investigated too?

What? Oh, I guess so.

But I'm sure it'll be fine.

"I'm about to get in trouble because of those idiots?"

Gosh, what a headache.

Surely, they won't be okay with that.

They'd want the situation to get sorted out as soon as possible.

And they'd be willing to give up information they have.

Are you saying people will come forward with info against Chief Jang?

With a little bit of pressure from the Inspection Department,

it's totally possible.

How did it go? Did you find them?

I think we figured out who took the ledgers.

But the thing is...

Who?

Yes, In Do Hoon speaking.

Hello, Mr. In.

I need to give you a heads-up. I didn't do anything, okay?

I'm heading back to the office now, but... Hey, go!

Don't listen to anybody else.

Just listen to me, okay?

It's Mr. Park Sung Ho.

It's Park Sung Ho.

Fine. We'll check everything and find out if Chief Jang Jung Il...

was the one who ordered Mr. Park to pick up the ledgers.

However, you'll have to hand over all the documents and info.

The Inspection Department is now in charge of the investigation on Oz Foods.

What is this nonsense about now?

Who turned a tax evasion case into an internal corruption investigation?

Mr. In Do Hoon.

- Get your act together. - Enough.

Hey, are you guys really going to keep this up?

Sorry, but I do not trust that Bureau Five has the ability to take care of this.

Fine, okay. Suit yourself.

- What? - But...

if this peters out and nothing comes out of it,

it's all on you, Mr. In Do Hoon.

- Mr. Oh. - Shut it, you punk.

Wait, but...

I'm sure you've heard all about what happened in the conference room.

I know that the Head Office is also digging into Jung Il.

He got him good, son.

You knew...

I'm sorry.

You should feel sorry for yourself.

You chose to work for Ms. Min just so you could beat me,

so you need to at least prove that you're a go-getter,

but look at you still struggling to keep up with Hwang Dong Ju,

just like when you were little.

The missing ledgers.

I need you to find them before they do.

What?

Find them and keep them hidden for just another day.

The fines alone will be tens of billions of won.

You'll give that up?

I can't let people say that the Joongang Office is incompetent.

It's a small sacrifice for the greater good.

You can understand that much, right?

So you lied that Chief An ordered you to do it?

Why?

In your eyes, does An Sung Sik look like someone who'd fight for justice?

Hwang Dong Ju was out of line today.

Good on him.

Earlier today, he totally managed to get the Commissioner's attention.

But Hwang Dong Ju isn't the problem now.

Oh Young is.

Why is Mr. Baek getting Oh Young involved?

That's what I want to know.

I didn't think you'd make such a reckless move.

Mr. Oh Young isn't ready yet.

None of his peers is still stuck in that position like he is.

Maybe this will be a good opportunity to whip him into shape.

In the end, he'll kneel down in front of Mr. In Tae Jun,

just like that time.

Let's give him a chance.

Yes, that's right.

Try to get it done as soon as possible. Okay.

The fax machine...

Goodness, guys. Just collect what you see.

Since when did we work so hard?

Gosh, I actually did some work today for a change.

Can we have a quick chat?

- No, we can't. - Sorry?

Are you really going to just give up on it like this?

Like In Do Hoon said, you were the one who changed the course of things.

The Inspection Department's investigation...

will always take precedence. You know that.

I heard Park Sung Ho was caught on camera.

Pardon me? Oh, yes.

At around 9:30 a.m., after the entire finance team left.

There were several boxes in his car. They probably contained the ledgers.

- Okay. - The finance director tried...

to get rid of these documents and this phone.

I think the phone is totally dead.

Hand it over to Forensics.

If they tried to get rid of it,

it means it contains something they wanted to delete.

Wait, what are you doing right now?

Didn't you say you wanted to give up on this case?

I never said that. I just told you to give them the info they wanted.

We're after the missing ledgers, right?

So it doesn't matter who takes the info from the informant, right?

Focus, you punk.

You're the one who started all this.

The thing is, it looks like...

we can be certain that Mr. Park took the ledgers.

But the Inspection Department is questioning him right now.

So it's game over, isn't it?

Tell them to do whatever they want.

Park Sung Ho is buying us some time.

Park Sung Ho doesn't know anything.

What do you mean?

Mr. Park Sung Ho doesn't know anything?

(Park Sung Ho doesn't even know about Jang Jung Il and Chairman Yang.)

I'm telling you!

Chief Jang ordered me to do it.

He and Oz's finance director bet on golf, and he won.

He told me he was supposed to get some merchandise instead of money.

What was I supposed to do?

I knew he had a meeting,

so I told him I'd go pick it up for him.

It's not even mine. I didn't care to know what was in the boxes.

I mean, it's none of my business.

You have a knack for whipping up stories.

You should get into politics later on.

Fine, okay.

Darn it! This is so unfair.

My dashcam!

Just check my dashcam footage.

Chief Jang has told Park Sung Ho nothing about his corrupt deeds.

They don't trust each other.

This slush fund account probably belongs to Yang Young Soon.

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

Even when we were investigating Chairman Yang Young Soon,

Park Sung Ho had no idea.

Look into it again.

That the account should've been left untouched.

So Park Sung Ho...

was nothing more than a delivery man.

But the Inspection Department took Chief Jang Jung Il too.

So how are we going to find the ledgers?

We only have eight hours left now.

Also, the Inspection Department took everything. We have nothing left.

No.

We still have something that can lead us...

to the missing ledgers.

There's nothing here.

Like Mr. Park said, he left Oz Foods and went straight back to the office.

He doesn't have a rear camera, so we can't see who took the boxes.

What's going on in the other room? Still no progress?

He just said he met with people from Oz Foods for dinner a few times.

Could you tell me exactly whom you met and where you met them?

He denied all knowledge of the ledgers.

That's what we got out of him when he arrived.

Now, he's totally checked out.

(Inspection Team 1)

Did I say it was the Cheongdam branch, not the Hannam branch?

The Japanese restaurant where Chief Jang and Oz's Director Shin always meet.

Actually, I should just give you their number.

That's okay. You can get going now.

Really? Is there anything else you want to know?

I hope the info I gave you is helpful.

You see, Chief Jang...

You should investigate him thoroughly.

I used to work in Bureau Three too,

so I didn't want to do this to him,

but he's been collecting kickbacks left and right. You know?

Sure.

Why don't you go for a smoke?

You should escort him.

Yes, sir.

Here.

There's something that can lead us to the ledgers? Where?

I don't see anything.

All right. Listen up.

Chief Jang was tight on time.

He got the ledgers from Park Sung Ho...

and attended the meeting at the Head Office at 11 a.m.,

so he only had about an hour and a half.

That's enough time to go somewhere and come back.

Under normal circumstances, yes.

But to hide ten years' worth of ledgers,

you need to find enough space.

At home, in the office, or some kind of storage space.

And he doesn't trust anyone easily,

so there's no way he'd hide the ledgers in some random spot.

He must've hidden them in a place that he knows well.

His family, relatives... Or a property that he owns in someone else's name?

Bingo.

That was a close call. I almost called you a birdbrain.

Oh, here it is.

Here's a list of real estate properties and businesses...

that Jang Jung Il's family and relatives own.

(Properties and Businesses Owned by Jang Jung Il's Family and Relatives)

The records tell us that he used his personal car.

His license plate number is 65M 7813. Write it down.

You too, write it down.

It's 65M 7813.

Like Mr. Hwang Dong Ju said earlier,

he only had an hour and a half to go somewhere and come back,

so let's start with the ones that are close by.

What?

- Get moving! - Oh, yes.

- Get to work! Let's do some work. - Let's go!

- Ms. Seo. - Yes?

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Ms. Seo. - Yes.

- Ms. Seo? - Coming.

Gosh, this is sweet.

By the way, what did you do this time?

- What do you mean? - I'm talking about Mr. Oh.

He's working!

Is it that surprising to you?

Yes, it is! Can you hold on to my bag?

He used to charge 50,000 won for analyzing just one account.

If he couldn't make money off it, he didn't even look at it.

He was like Don Quixote of the Joongang Office.

- Ms. Seo. - Yes?

How could you do this to me?

You knew of such a lucrative side hustle but didn't tell me?

That's rude.

Stop looking surprised. Let's go.

Hello? Hey, where are you?

(Smoking Area)

(Inspection Department)

Here.

- Hello? - Chief Jang.

Where did you hide the boxes from Oz Foods?

Mr. In, let me speak with Director In first.

This is a trap.

I'll make sure the amount of the bribe isn't too outrageous.

Where did you hide them?

I need him to guarantee me some things.

You see, I worked under Director In for many years!

People are coming forward to give us info on you.

For me to help you, I have to find them before others do.

You have until the end of the day.

(5 hours before the limitation period to collect Oz Foods' tax debt expires)

(Jang Jung Il, Shin Da Hye, Oz Foods)

The license plate number...

It's not in the visitors' log.

(Security Office)

Thank you.

(Apartment where Jang Jung Il's sibling lives)

(Business owned by Jang Jung Il's sister-in-law)

Yes, Ms. An.

You went to check his sister-in-law's company.

How did it go?

There are many boxes, but the ledgers aren't here.

Have you ever seen this man here?

- No. - No? Okay, thank you.

I'm sorry. Have you seen this man leaving some documents here...

Ms. Seo.

All right.

Where are you?

No? Okay.

We don't have time. Hurry over to the next one on the list.

For me to help you, I have to find them before others do.

You have until the end of the day.

(Inspection Team 2)

(Jang Jung Il)

Jang Jung Il.

The informant met Jang Jung Il.

(Jang Jung Il, Shin Da Hye, Oz Foods)

After getting the ledgers from Shin Da Hye, Jang Jung Il...

(Jang Jung Il, Shin Da Hye, Oz Foods)

(Office, Studio Apartment, Cafe, Land, Factory)

Where did he go after that?

(Apartment owned by Jang Jung Il's father)

There's only one more place left on the list.

What if we don't find the ledgers there? We don't have time.

It's already past 11 p.m.

Yes, Mr. Ko.

Chief Jang finally spoke.

By the time Inspection has the ledgers, the limitation period would be over.

It's all over now.

Where could they be?

The informant?

(Informants: Lee Young Seok, Geum Dong Sik)

(Progress Report, Oz Foods' Tax Evasion)

(Informant A)

(Oz Foods, Shin Da Hye)

"Informant..."

"A."

(Informant A, PQ Construction)

(Together Tax Services)

Check over there.

(Together Tax Services)

Found them!

You made a wise decision.

I'll do my best so you can be let off with disciplinary action.

(Father)

I found them.

(9 minutes before the limitation period to collect Oz Foods' tax debt expires)

Well done, Do Hoon.

(Oz Foods)

Hello, ma'am.

Let's go.

Get rid of that driver and hire someone young.

- Pardon me? - He's working as a driver at that age?

Something must be wrong with him.

Oh, you said you didn't feel safe because the last driver was too young.

I'll find someone else.

What will you do about Mr. Geum?

I'll take care of him as soon as he's back.

Why are you always so laid-back?

The stupid dog dared to bite his master.

Thank goodness for that NTS staffer.

Right, I know.

- What is this? - What?

- Have a good day. - Thank you.

How did it go?

Nice to meet you.

Ms. Shin Da Hye, right?

Well... Yes, that's right.

I'm from the National Tax Service.

Well, you look beautiful even at this early hour.

I heard you have been very busy...

committing tax evasion and beating people up.

Hey! How dare you?

- We can sue you for this! - Hey.

I'm just doing my job to earn a living, so please understand.

Then, let's get started right away.

Wait, hey. You people.

- Hold on. What is this about? - What's going on?

I thought we were done.

You need to pay your taxes. Why?

You thought it was all over?

Yes, Mr. Ko.

Chief Jang finally spoke.

It's all over now.

But we can't give up like this,

so could you follow those guys from the Inspection Department...

(Wav Logistics)

Mr. Hwang!

- Yes? - We started off on the wrong foot.

Maybe Chief Jang wasn't the one who took the ledgers.

- What? - Look.

- Gosh! - Oh, no.

(Wav Logistics)

(Father)

I found them.

Mr. In.

What is this?

What? What's wrong?

Oz Foods' director gave me these because I won the golf game.

I'm telling you the truth.

Darn it!

I called and spoke with the courier.

He said a dozen boxes were all going to the same address,

but every one of them was booked with a different company.

That's why no one knew.

Because every box was carried out of the building by a different courier.

The problem is, they were all delivered to...

Why are you home so late?

Mr. Oh picked up yukhoe for us.

Sit. I'll prepare this quickly.

Hey, Chief An. You're home.

Mr. Oh, you like the pickles I make, right?

- Yes. - Give me a moment.

Hey, we used to hang out together often with our families.

Right, Sung Sik?

What are you doing here?

- Get out. - Was it you?

It was you, wasn't it?

The one who hid the ledgers.

Oz Foods' finance director tried to destroy this phone,

but I got it restored.

But there's a phone number that appears throughout the call history.

I'm going to call the number now.

If I hear a phone ring anywhere in this house,

then it really was you.

I just called your landline number, idiot.

And this is my phone.

How...

did you know?

You gave it away.

(Informants: Lee Young Seok, Geum Dong Sik)

The informant?

Hwang Dong Ju did not include the informant's name...

in his report.

"Informant A."

So I thought it was strange.

Because you already knew...

that Geum Dong Sik was the one who tipped us off.

The limitation period expires in a day.

On top of that, the informant was Geum Dong Sik?

I audited him in the past for underreporting.

You saw Mr. Geum...

when he came to tip us off.

So you gave Oz Foods time to hide the ledgers.

I'm expecting a few personal packages to arrive at the office.

Can you receive their calls?

And the ledgers that were delivered...

are probably somewhere in your house.

- Mr. Oh. - Step out with your wife.

My team members are on their way here now.

Young, please.

Please, just this once...

Oh, hi. It's this building, on the seventh floor.

(To In Tae Jun, Final Report on Oz Foods)

(The limitation period has ended.)

Ms. Shin.

Were you happy while making others...

shed bloody tears?

I'm sure you were happy.

You collected massive kickbacks from PQ Construction.

It's about time you paid for it.

- All right. - Hey, what are you doing?

You received a 30-million-won rebate from PQ Construction...

for each construction project.

- Hey. - So in the past eight years...

You've received exactly 120 billion won.

Therefore, in total, we'll collect 33.48 billion won...

from PQ Construction. This amount includes the corporate tax...

and the surtax as well.

Moreover...

- Hey! What have you been doing? - I'm sorry.

- Please... - What is he saying?

Moreover, Ms. Shin Da Hye, who received rebates from PQ Construction,

- Hey! What's your problem? - will be expected...

to pay 67.2 billion won in total, which includes the income tax and surtax.

What... Hey! What are you people doing at my company?

The world has been letting you get away with a lot of things,

but not this time.

Because what Mr. Lee Young Seok had...

is in our possession now.

Stop talking nonsense.

Well, all the franchisees will sue you,

and the prosecution will investigate you, so I suggest you get ready.

- Bye. - Hey, where are you going?

- Hey. - Be good!

Hey, stop right there!

- Hey! You! - Ma'am, we don't have time for this now.

- What have you been doing? - Please, calm down.

We have a bigger problem now.

I heard you came to the NTS because you couldn't trust anyone.

Money is the only thing...

those scumbags fear.

The thing is, rich people may seem like they're afraid of the NTS,

but it's not true.

Clashing with us just means...

they'll lose some money. That's all.

What they truly fear is something else.

The person who they thought would always bow down to them...

starting to ask questions.

Don't give up.

If you give up and turn a blind eye to problems,

things that shouldn't happen will keep on happening.

This contains another footage from the day Mr. Lee Young Seok died.

It was in one of the boxes we found yesterday.

It looks like the finance director was trying to conceal it.

Director Shin Da Hye of Oz Foods, who is running...

the biggest bakery franchise in the country,

witnessed an employee's death but walked away.

This news is sending shock waves across the country.

The prosecution plans to launch an investigation against her...

on charges of assault causing death and tax evasion.

Jung Ho!

Jung Ho.

Jung Ho.

(My Treasure Jung Ho)

Mr. Lee! Hey.

- The person you're trying to reach... - We fired the driver,

so there's no one to drive Ms. Shin now.

Just take her to the airport, okay?

Hey, what's with you? Snap out of it.

Come on. It's okay. Get in.

Hey.

What are you doing? Darn it. My flight is leaving soon.

Hey! Gosh, I can't believe this.

Turn it off.

Hey.

I told you to make sure the media wouldn't get their hands on it!

Why couldn't you stop them?

What is wrong with all of you? Hey!

Mr. Geum! I told you to keep the media out!

Stop, please! This is violence.

Violence, my foot.

Hey! What are you doing?

Enough!

If you keep this up, we won't stay quiet anymore.

You stupid peasants.

You're all peasants. Do you even know that?

Thank you.

Here.

The information your husband sent us helped us out a lot.

We don't need this.

Just take it back.

- Jung Ho. - What?

Mom, are you proud of Dad?

If only he hadn't stepped in to blow the whistle.

Then he wouldn't have had to die like that.

You're right.

I would've turned a blind eye to it.

I mean, it's not hard.

Turning a blind eye to bad deeds to protect my family.

It really is nothing.

But you see,

there comes a time...

when you suddenly become ashamed of it.

When you really don't want to be embarrassed, no matter what.

It happens to everyone.

Embarrassed? In front of who?

You. Who else?
