The last lead that could have finished In Tae Jun...

is now gone.

(Episode 8)

What do we do now?

- Check this part! - Yes.

We don't have time to be discouraged.

In Tae Jun will be busy from now on.

He'll try to cover up the evidence, right?

He can't afford to have any evidence that's linked to him.

If they change the team investigating the case...

Secure the navigation evidence first.

Then go to Ryu Yong Sin and Joo Young Moon's residence quickly.

Go and find something.

(Seonam District Prosecutors' Office)

Dong Ju,

they're moving quicker than we thought.

I'm from the Seonam District Prosecutors' Office.

How is my dashcam footage...

in Ryu Yong Sin's hands?

How?

Director In.

You...

seriously...

You couldn't get out of the grave you dug...

and got crap all over your body.

You didn't realize your life was being ruined...

and thought it was a success.

I was nervous to see you accelerating.

- What are you talking about? - You crossed the line.

You're now...

a true murderer.

Is this about the accident today?

What excuse will you say?

Why do I need to tell you an excuse?

You should've been ruined...

four years ago, during Hwang Chul Min's incident.

Then my eyes on you...

wouldn't be as pitiful as they are now.

You'll see. You'll get what you deserve.

(Seonam District Prosecutors' Office)

Why did your team members tail him?

Because of the reasonable suspicion...

that there must be someone behind Ryu Yong Sin.

How many times do I need to say this?

Ryu Yong Sin's recordings are all revealed.

- You could've just fined him. - "You could've just fined him."

- Your job ends... - "Your job ends there."

For goodness' sake.

Gosh.

He's just a parrot.

You could've just recorded it.

Why don't you sit?

You're doing this to buy time.

How many times do I need to repeat myself?

We have completed...

the seizure and search of the suspect Joo Young Moon's vehicle and home.

For goodness' sake.

Tell him to wrap it up.

The search and seizure are done.

Please wrap it up.

(Video Recording Investigation Room)

Mr. Hwang.

You're not imprisoned but appointed.

Many people must've been busy securing your place.

Mr. Hwang, do you think the prosecution is a joke?

You're running at me with confidence as if I'm guilty.

You're innocent.

Even if we reveal tens of trillions of borrowed-name accounts,

you don't see it as a crime since you're one of them.

You little...

If you're going to continue to commit crimes like that,

have a better eye.

How many people do you think were ruined...

for following a bad leader?

How many?

That punk.

(Seonam District Prosecutors' Office)

Aren't you curious about what happened?

I'm sure they said they didn't find any dead bodies...

or anything at his residence.

You're exactly right.

But Mr. Hwang,

do you think Ryu Yong Sin kept something at his house?

We still have leads to follow.

Let's go. Let's talk over a meal.

It's a burner phone found in Joo Young Moon's vehicle.

There was nothing else, except for this text message.

(22 Sky Cloud, Jamshin-dong, Socheo-gu, Seoul. Unit 1001, password 135705)

Are the investigation records shared with Mr. Kim?

Our case is taken away from us.

I found this.

Oh, is it?

Gosh, do you think only people in the higher hierarchy have connections?

There are many connections at the basement level too.

We work with the prosecution for so many things.

I think it's Joo Young Moon's second house.

When I asked the management office,

his last entry record was a month ago.

But I think he took only one suitcase after packing.

Look.

It feels like something happened while he was trying to run away.

But why did he receive a text message with his home address?

So it means this phone doesn't belong to Joo Young Moon.

I think this person is the owner.

He had a criminal record, so I found his DNA identity.

His name is Park Dong Jin.

He's an employee of Gold Cash.

Two Gold Cash employees...

have been missing since a month ago.

The investigating team is assuming...

that they fought over money.

But the day they went missing is the same date as...

when Joo Young Moon went missing and when this text was sent.

It was that day, right?

The day we had a press conference to look for the real money owner.

Yes.

Ryu Yong Sin must have been in a hurry to claim innocence because...

he was in danger of being found to have run private loans with PQ's money.

Joo Young Moon was the actor for him.

He tried to cut him away,

(Ryu Yong Sin 2)

He didn't get to finish it properly.

Mr. Ko is searching for the two.

Something might come out, so let's just wait.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- Here you go. - Mr. Ko...

said Ryu Yong Sin sent something...

to In Tae Jun right after the prosecution investigation.

While I was in the interrogation room, I kept thinking about that.

I should figure out what was sent to In Tae Jun.

I should find out how Ryu Yong Sin came to the lake.

Well, two people are dead.

I was thinking I'm a human being just like In Tae Jun after all.

Anyway, they're the ones...

who dragged you here.

Mr. Hwang, you can't be in your thoughts for a long time.

We've already started this.

We've got to work out what's left of it.

We have to stop Jaesong Construction from going bankrupt...

to protect Bureau Five.

We need to prevent Commissioner Baek from resigning too.

It's not all about destroying In Tae Jun for you now.

There are a lot of people to protect.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

Don't be ridiculous.

In no way will he be able to betray me.

Ryu Yong Sin must have had something...

to keep In Tae Jun from turning on him.

What is it?

They're on Route 43.

It's in the direction of Sagock-ri.

Are they heading towards Sagock Lake?

How did he know about that place?

In Tae Jun wouldn't have directed Ryu Yong Sin...

to the place where he committed the crime.

Ryu Yong Sin doesn't know that In Tae Jun was there...

at the time of the accident.

Wait, why am I sure of this?

Only one person reads this man's hoax...

who said he wanted nothing.

Hwang Chul Min.

Ryu Yong Sin knew that my father was keeping him in check.

But how would he have felt...

when he heard about a memorandum for the first time in more than a decade?

Don't you want to find it?

The memorandum that Hwang Chul Min hid.

It must've felt like the sky was falling down on him.

Since he doesn't know what kind of details about him were in it.

On top of that, if In Tae Jun gets a hold of it...

(List of Vehicles that Entered Youngsoo Road)

Ms. Seo.

Ryu Yong Sin must have been nervous when he heard about the memorandum...

from In Tae Jun four years ago...

since he didn't know what kind of details about him were in it.

He must've hired someone to tail him to take away the memorandum...

if it came out to the surface.

He found the data four years ago from Ms. Seo.

(Vehicle Registration Information Search)

At that time, one of the vehicles passed the accident site.

One of the vehicles with no dash cam...

was owned by Hanhae Communications, which is owned by Ryu Yong Sin.

(Hanhae Communications)

It is highly likely that either Ryu Yong Sin...

or Joo Young Moon was in the car.

(38 R 2003)

If either one of them...

(Twelve vehicles with no dash cam)

witnessed Hwang Chul Min's vehicle at the end of a cliff,

what would've he done?

Don't you think he would've looked at In Tae Jun's dash cam?

Joo Young Moon has plenty of criminal records of theft.

It would've been easy for him.

It's 1-3-5-7-0-5.

The fact that he packed his things in a hurry,

means Joo Young Moon knew he was in danger.

But he wouldn't have come by a place that wasn't even home...

to pack a few T-shirts.

He definitely came to look for something else.

If it's something that can threaten the highest position of the NTS,

it's worth taking the risk.

But if he found something to threaten In Tae Jun,

he wouldn't have helped Seo Young Jae.

Mr. Hwang, are we allowed to do this?

Yes.

The plan went awry because of the people who came to kill him.

But he couldn't return to find it.

As Ryu Yong Sin would've kept an eye on the studio...

as he didn't see Joo Young Moon's dead body.

If so...

that something Joo Young Moon tried to find...

would be still here.

The card to hunt In Tae Jun down.

The video footage of that day.

Let's go upstairs.

- Yes. - We have a problem. The police are here.

Mr. Hwang,

the police are here.

We can go back after the investigation team leaves.

There might've been nothing in the first place.

Why? Do you want to go back?

No.

What is it? Tell me.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

(Hwang Dong Ju)

Yes.

Either you or I have to end it.

Yes.

I'll go straight to the point.

There was a time when I was blinded by...

high salaries, luxury apartments, and luxury cars.

I thought that making all of these things mine...

was the price of sacrificing...

my childhood...

and my father.

However, I felt like trash...

every time I thought that.

But I wasn't.

I was just being a normal human being.

A human being who always makes the wrong choice,

but has the potential to make...

the right choice someday.

I believe...

you still have potential too.

Before Ryu Yong Sin died,

he left you something.

I have that too.

I was going to reveal it right away, but I came to see you first.

I'll give you a chance to confess.

How dare you play tricks in front of me?

Do you think I'm tricking you?

Do you think...

I'll do the same thing you did to me?

Confess your crime.

If you confess everything,

I'll give you a chance to keep your honor.

Do you think this nonsense will work?

Please let me forgive you.

This is the last truth...

I can give to someone I once respected.

Who's in charge of the tax building?

(Hwang Chul Min)

(Manager Hwang Dong Ju)

(Director In Tae Jun)

(38 H 2839)

- How did things go? - According to the prosecution,

he didn't go to Ryu Yong Sin's house.

But they found traces that he went to a studio owned by Joo Young Moon.

Did Hwang Dong Ju say that...

he found evidence to prove your relationship with Ryu Yong Sin?

Yes.

Then it doesn't add up.

The footage of you seeing him is hard to be evidence of intimidation.

Also, political funds...

were received in a way that Ryu Yong Sin can't get away with.

He couldn't have handed over evidence to Joo Young Moon...

that would be like a time bomb to attack him.

What if Joo Young Moon stole something at Ryu Yong Sin's house?

It's possible if he knew he'd be killed a month ago.

But looking at his entry history to his studio,

he arrived less than an hour after the Gold Cash case...

was reported to PQ.

He didn't have time to go to Ryu Yong Sin's place.

There's no record that he went there afterward too.

Besides, it was just two days ago...

when the detectives searched the place after his blood was found.

He couldn't have found anything.

- Then it's... - It's a lie.

I'm sure it's his usual trick. I'm 100 percent positive.

Even if Hwang Dong Ju really has something,

he'll falter if we have the authority to crush all the people around him.

You just need to push Commissioner Baek to step down.

You're the only one...

to replace him.

Chairman Seo is blocking all remaining bills of remand of Jaesong's.

We can only take disciplinary action when they go bankrupt.

Bureau Five needs to be penalized to make Commissioner Baek resign.

They're just avoiding the rain with a plastic umbrella.

You can just change the rain into hail.

Let's hurry up the final hearing...

- of Bureau Five. - Yes.

I'll break the legs of the people of main banks...

and sales negotiators if I have to.

I'll make Jaesong go bankrupt myself.

You make sure Bureau Five can't find Seo Young Jae, even his shadow.

Keep an eye on them.

As I'm here, they'll never...

collect the fines.

They should never be able to.

Let me handle it.

If we hurry to collect the bonds,

the public opinion barely covered...

by Director Ryu's accident will be revived.

They'll say that we're desperate in collecting our money...

even though we scammed people by fund fraud.

It'll be disastrous.

Public opinion will calm down quickly.

The main trading company that has left once...

will not return until the end of your term.

Director In,

it sounds like you're threatening me.

Mr. Kim.

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

During wars, arrows are more expensive than bows.

That's the only reason why I'm meeting you face to face.

Do I look like someone who quarrels with a bank president?

(Jaesong Construction Sale Proposal)

(PQ Holdings Current Shareholder Status)

Why do we have to take over a company...

that is busy blocking the bill?

The most solid reason is...

the five percent of PQ Holdings shares held by Jaesong Construction's subsidiary.

They shared their stocks within their circle.

So it's something that you can't find elsewhere.

Also...

(Boojin Construction)

Yes, hello.

Yes.

Okay.

I know you're uncomfortable because it sounds like...

I'm stopping you when you're considering expanding the business.

Then do as you want.

I'll let you know what kind of winter you'll face...

after you take over Jaesong Construction.

Yes.

Yes. Okay.

Sorry, he can't see you without an appointment.

(Bureau Three Chief No Sun Ju)

Yes, Chief No.

My name is Seo Hye Young from Bureau Five.

I know you know me well.

What is it you want to say?

There's something I've been really wanting to ask you.

Why did you want to live as that kind of person?

The kind of person who doesn't mind being hated by others.

You're right.

From the loser's standpoint, I may seem corrupt.

But if I win, it becomes honor.

That's how the world works.

Has winning that way...

made you happy?

When I learned that you still loathed Hwang Chul Min,

this is what I thought.

This is someone...

who regrets the decisions...

he has made.

You've done wrong to both me...

and Mr. Hwang Dong Ju.

Admit your faults and resign.

Go back.

I'll give you until the National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting.

That's our final deadline.

We have the video that Director Ryu Yong Sin left.

It's in our hands.

(Chief Prosecutor Ha)

It's me.

(List of Candidates for Jaesong Construction's Acquisition)

As for the company that will sell off Jaesong Construction,

the chief and captain are in the process of meeting with the candidates.

I know things are hard already.

But even if an agreement is miraculously reached,

we need to get the additional 45-billion-won tax imposition back...

to stop Commissioner Baek's resignation.

Well...

Did you find anything about Seo Young Jae In Joo Young Moon's navigation?

To be honest, not yet.

There was something odd about the route, so we're looking into that.

What was it?

He often visited the vicinity of...

the hospital Chairman Seo was in.

I thought Chairman Seo could be tricking us...

and helping his son behind our back.

So I asked the hospital staff.

Have these people been here recently?

I don't know.

Excuse me. Have you seen these people?

I'm not sure.

No one had seen Joo Young Moon's face,

let alone Seo Young Jae's.

We're retracing everything on the driving record,

so don't worry too much.

If he's alive, we'll find a trace of him somewhere.

There's no way to resolve the remaining bills...

because all of Chairman Seo's assets...

belong to Sancho Bank.

Additional bills will come in a week.

Then let's not find the person.

Let's find the money.

As a rich heir, Chairman Seo Young Jae...

depended on his father all his life.

He doesn't have the brains to hide money impeccably.

(Quick cash inquiry!)

He wouldn't have put the stolen money in a bank.

And due to the volume, he wouldn't have taken it either.

Then there's only one solution.

- Bearer bonds. - There it is.

Is there any chance you've seen these two people?

I'm not sure. I don't know.

We'll get back in touch.

Then...

how about...

I'm not sure.

Wait. This person...

Excuse me. Coming through.

Come with us.

- Let me go. - National Tax Service.

Hey. Let me go!

Where is he? Chairman Seo.

I don't know anything.

I did everything because he ordered me to!

Hurry. Move!

Those punks...

Why did you come only now?

We've waited a long time.

Hello.

- It's cold. - Open the door.

Open the door, you punk!

- Hey! - It's gotten cold.

You...

It's late, sir. Is this an urgent matter?

Did you form a tie with Hwang Dong Ju without me knowing?

No.

I don't know what you are talking about.

I thought you'd be good at disturbing other people's affairs...

and entrusted you with that one job.

I said to make sure they didn't see a glimpse of Seo Young Jae.

Then how are you going to explain...

how I heard from someone else...

that they completed the collection?

It's a misunderstanding. Please calm down.

I'm sorry if I offended you,

but with just one day left till the Governor's Meeting,

I thought it wouldn't be good to upset you.

After all, disciplinary action for Bureau Five is a set procedure.

As you know, Bureau Five needs to meet two different criteria.

Selling off Jaesong...

and getting 45 billion won in additional tax imposition.

Why do you think they were keen on following Seo Young Jae?

Because they knew that once you got involved,

no firm would volunteer for acquisition.

They've already sensed that they'd lose.

Then what do they have left?

Erasing that one line that they failed to acquire...

the 45-billion won additional tax imposition.

Because even if Bureau Five dies, they still need to keep their jobs.

That's why they're chasing after...

Seo Young Jae's tail as if they're investigators.

I thought it was too embarrassing to report it,

so I've kept it to myself.

Are you sure they failed to sell Jaesong?

- You checked everything? - Yes.

Yes. I'll complete the investigation by saying tomorrow...

that Oh Young and Hwang Dong Ju should be suspended.

You just need to get support for the job exclusion...

of Commissioner Baek.

Today is the last day you can say any kind of crap.

End it surely.

If it doesn't end tomorrow afternoon,

you will.

How dare you come here?

Don't get mad.

Chief Cho Jin Ki...

It's a serious crime disguised as suicide.

If I hadn't completely removed you by convincing the witness,

you would've gotten involved with it right away as well.

I owe my safety all to you?

So why did you open up all these cases everywhere?

Hwang Dong Ju keeps asking and probing me,

and I think he's saying you've done something.

What happened?

I'm not saying I'll side with you because I'm your son.

I'm trying to convince you...

that what you want and what I want are no different.

You're this close to being Commissioner of the NTS.

It would be a shame if you broke down here.

If you've never acted like a father my whole life,

at least you shouldn't taint my future.

I'm tired from preparing for tomorrow's meeting.

We'll talk later.

(Save password)

Go tell him.

That I've had this thought...

Hwang Dong Ju had something up until now.

But that it has occurred to me now...

he's empty-handed.

- Father. - Starting tomorrow,

Commissioner Baek will be excluded from his job.

Bureau Five will be dismantled.

I'll send you to a regional office, so spend lots of time with your family.

You should do...

what I couldn't.

Let's see.

Are you ready?

Are you?

Chief Oh.

I have something to tell you first.

(National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting)

(National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting)

(One unread message)

Apparently, there's a video Chief Jang Jung Il omitted.

(No title)

I...

have this.

I have it.

(Jang Jung Il)

What happened with Bureau Five's investigation?

I've already reported that it was finished.

And the result?

We end the investigation...

as there are no reasons for disciplinary action.

Why did you do it?

The video quality is top-notch.

I should request a special audit, right?

An auditor who broke into another organization without permission...

That's quite the bold move.

Chief Oh...

But you know, I've decided to stop stabbing others from the back.

Coexistence over division?

Coexistence my butt, you lunatic.

I guess you're not the only lunatic.

I'm even crazier for letting a guy like you...

eat and live well all these years.

Chief Jang, no, Inspector Jang Jung Il.

Do you know why Director In's side has all been wiped out?

Because of Hwang Dong Ju? No.

Director.

Do you happen to know why there's no one by your side anymore?

At some point, we started playing this game amongst ourselves.

Since we couldn't trust each other,

we had to spend each day wondering...

when we should take the other down.

It's just that one person lit the fire.

We're the ones who ended ourselves.

But I'm going to cut that rotten wire before it's too late.

You should've trusted me one last time back then.

Hey. Jung Il...

Thank you for everything.

Jung...

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

Whether it's the chief or manager,

they both have an attitude.

(National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting)

(National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting)

(National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting)

The meeting's been delayed due to a change in the agenda.

Did Jaesong...

succeed in sell-off in the end?

It wasn't easy.

Where was it?

Have you found a company eligible for sell-off?

We're trying our best.

I promise you,

there's no company big enough to acquire Jaesong Construction...

that Director In hasn't touched.

You came all the way here to tell us that?

Thank you.

I'm ripping the band-aid off quickly to save time.

No matter how many times you look for it, there won't be anything.

Except for one.

Before coming to the NTS,

I sued this company.

PQ Construction.

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.

As the backlash from shareholders grew from my exposure,

it became the only affiliated company to have a professional management system.

PQ Construction...

will absorb the shares of PQ Holdings owned by Jaesong...

and become independent from the tyranny of the owner family.

You're bold.

Jumping into a battle which the next commissioner of the NTS...

is actively meddling with.

If a place has lots to hide, it should be afraid of the NTS.

But what if it's a place that wants to escape...

the pressure of accounting fraud?

A place that wants it to be clean, even if there's some sacrifice involved?

What then?

That's the reason...

Aren't those around you the same?

Aren't there people who don't want to look the other way?

You ordered Ryu Yong Sin's death, didn't you?

You knew everything about the collaboration...

between Ryu Yong Sin and Sancho Bank, but kept your mouth shut.

Helping Choengwoo Society 17 years ago...

and keeping a lid on the Myeongju Electronics case.

You did that as well, didn't you?

You must have witnessed Hwang Chul Min's accident...

but didn't do anything.

If you know everything, why are you asking again?

Why did you do it?

Why didn't you save him?

If you want to leak the video, do it.

Then it'll be over. Why bother...

Why didn't you do anything?

Why didn't you help him?

A person could have been saved.

My father could be alive.

Why didn't you help him?

Answer me. Why didn't you do something?

Because it was easy!

Because it was the easiest thing to do!

And...

Don't say it was because of Hwang Chul Min.

You've come too far to say that.

It was for myself.

I just...

wanted it.

It made me feel alive.

By the time I realized it was wrong,

I couldn't stop.

Someone already died,

and I had blood on my hands.

If it were you,

would you have thought it was possible to turn it back?

No.

You shouldn't have done it.

(February 14, 2017, 2:16 a.m.)

What? What is this?

Because the real culprit who killed Hwang Chul Min wasn't you.

Because nothing was too late for you.

You scumbag.

This is what you were looking for?

You played me. Me!

Can the director of the NTS show this side of himself?

I'm sure I told you the meeting was delayed.

(Bukchang Tax Office, Dongjoong Tax Office)

(Sangwang Tax Office, Musan Tax Office)

- You punk. - Stop it!

It's time to stop now.

(National Tax Office Chiefs' Meeting)

(National Tax Service)

Before it's too late...

(Director In Tae Jun)

Before the shock of the suicide of In Tae Jun,

the former director of the NTS Joongang Regional Office...

who confessed to condoning numerous economic crimes,

right before his arrest has died down,

a transcript of Jaesong Construction's Chairman Seo Byung Ki's statement...

about the Cheongwoo Society and the memorandum...

of the late Hwang Chul Min, the former Managing Director of PQ,

were released and is shocking everyone.

It's the original copy of Chairman Seo's statement...

about Cheongwoo Society.

This is what prompted the sell-off of Jaesong Construction?

And this is PQ's record.

It's the memorandum that the late Hwang Chul Min wrote himself.

Is this okay?

He's his son, after all.

Meanwhile, Cheongwoo Society,

which ten domestic companies formed to pursue their own economic gain,

has enjoyed trillions of won worth of profits over the past 20 years.

Moreover, Hwang's memorandum includes a list of...

high-ranking politicians who gave them preferential treatment...

and is expected to have significant social impact.

Your father's accident four years ago.

The first person to report it was In Tae Jun.

Based on the dashcam footage,

the criminal department started a reinvestigation,

and the voice of the person who called...

about ten minutes after the accident was In Tae Jun's.

He ran because he was scared,

but since he wasn't sure if the car fell down or not,

I think he reported it to send someone before it was too late.

Although at that point,

Ryu Yong Sin had already pushed it down.

Chief Oh.

I heard about Mr. Hwang's transferral.

What's this about?

What did you just say?

I came here with the promise that I'd only be here for four years.

I mean...

if a place as holy as this has someone like me,

it won't be good. Everyone will avoid taxation.

And now this is...

the NTS Joongang Regional Office without In Tae Jun.

This is no longer the old Bureau Five.

In order for a new organization to begin, it needs a clean slate.

You all have to succeed, you know?

Don't even bother acknowledging me from now on.

Let's get to work!

It's not that big of a deal.

Go! Get to work.

Gosh.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

Okay...

We'll meet soon, right?

Of course.

Life really is a full circle.

In terms of difficulty,

tax offices can't compare with the NTS.

You go there and you'll finally understand how we...

Come on.

Be well. We'll see each other soon, right?

Certainly. We will.

Hold on a second. Han Bin...

Here you go.

It's time for you to change it, okay?

I already have it.

You always use that broken one. I felt bad.

You all suffered because of me.

At least you know!

For real.

- Thank you, everyone. - You, too.

I'll be on my way.

Take care.

No need to walk me out.

(Bureau Five Division One, Team One, Chief's office)

- Mr. Hwang. - Why are you so late?

- Did you wait long? - No.

- Come on. - No, I got it.

(Tax Building 1, Tax Building 2)

How long has it been since we first met?

Four years?

If we include the time during which you were an accountant,

five years.

It's been a while.

When I first met you,

you handed me the video footage.

It really impressed me.

Because...

I've never gone that far out of my way to help someone in my life.

I realized there were people like you.

Thanks to you,

I think I can be the kind of person...

to look and move forward.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office Tax Building)

Thank you for everything.

Let's see each other again.

If I had known you were considering leaving,

I would have been a lot harsher on you.

I'm glad someone who's been a nuisance is finally leaving.

Seriously. How freeing!

Goodness...

Has it been four years?

Four years, yes.

During that long time,

you've worked hard alone.

It must have been lonely.

You did everything you could.

Good job.

The burden I received from you...

is so heavy on my shoulders that...

I feel the need to run hard without resting from now on.

So come and watch how I run.

Come often and watch.

Okay?

By the way,

go inside and promise your father this.

Now that the burden you've had...

is all gone,

promise you'll live just for yourself.

And you'll only think about being happy.

Go promise your father that.

Hwang Dong Ju.

You're the kind of person who keeps his promises.

Even though you can be a stuck-up.

(Hwang Chul Min)

Dad.

I'm here.

(Hwang Chul Min)

Well...

People said...

I did a good job.

They said I lived well.

I did a good job, didn't I?

(Hwang Chul Min)

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

for making you feel so lonely all alone.

(One year later)

(Haedong Tax Office)

Commissioner Baek didn't last too long after his reappointment.

(Who will be the new NTS Commissioner? Personnel verification for the candidates)

Who will be the next NTS Commissioner?

Chief Oh Young from the Head Office.

- I heard he was from Bureau Five. - Bureau Five?

Mr. Hwang. Don't you know anything?

Well...

You should have stayed at Bureau Five a little longer.

Then you could have gotten on his direct line...

What a shame.

We have ten minutes till lunch,

but the line in front of the new haejangguk place is super long.

I'm down with whatever.

- Let's go. - Great.

Wait.

You've never had it, right? It's incredible.

Let's go.

Which means, there was a problem with the removal.

No, not necessarily.

It's because the Head Office's data isn't enough to understand.

If you call one or two people who were on this case at the time...

- I understand. - The thing is...

Is an investigation impossible...

From what I was reported, it's not impossible,

but it's incredibly difficult.

I understand.

There are more than five factories and warehouses...

in this area alone.

- Good job. - You, too.

Thank you for the food.

Great job.

You work at a great place.

It gets boring.

My friend who works here...

said there was some stuck-up new to the tax department.

- That's what they're saying? - Yes.

That's not me.

Everyone knows it's you.

No, it isn't.

You're working at the Bukju Regional Office?

Yes.

I see.

Come visit sometime.

I will.

Everyone misses you.

I'll go see them.

Are things better now?

As you know.

Of course.

I know you'll do well.

It's a little boring without you.

You got better at sweet talk.

Ms. Seo! We have to go now.

Go. Hurry.

See you soon?

Sure.

Go. It's cold out.

Mr. Hwang!

Mr. Hwang Dong Ju!

Ripped and resynced by YoungJedi

That's right. Calm down.

When did I not pay my taxes?

I mean, even the coffee you're drinking...

- This was also bought using the money... - Sir, calm down.

- from the Village Property Committee! - Let's take this outside.

So...

- You want me to just pay 280 million won? - Calm down!

Even if you go into my house and look into my underwear,

- you'll find nothing! - If you keep doing this, we can't...

- Come on. - Let's leave right now! Okay?

- You're talking nonsense. We... - I have nothing...

- to pay for taxes! - Please, calm down.
