Why didn't you come to report to me?

Didn't you hear from the president?

- The embezzlement... - Forget it.

This is my decision.

Ms. Yu is transferred as planned to the Florida office.

End of story.

The company can't take a hit.

It's wrong to ignore an embezzlement case.

- Please change your mind. - I don't want to.

I joined because I was promised full authority to investigate.

Please consider...

my decision.

It's annoying, isn't it?

But what can you do?

The authority you hid behind to carry out your duty...

now depends on me.

(Audit Team Gu Han Soo, Unmute)

- Mr. Gu. - Yes.

Stop Ms. Yu...

from going to the airport.

Do whatever it takes to stop her.

Yes, sir.

Shin Cha Il.

You're fired.

What is this punk doing?

Move! Get out of my way!

Move.

What's wrong with him?

All of them are crazy.

What's wrong with you? Move.

Ms. Yu is not allowed to go to the airport.

We haven't finished auditing her.

(The Auditors)

(Episode 4)

(Director Yang Jae Seung)

- How did it go? - Well...

Ms. Yu got in Mr. Shin's car...

and voluntarily left for the police station.

I'm told you'd understand if I say this.

(Vice President Hwang Dae Woong)

I fired Shin Cha Il.

He ignored an order from his direct superior.

Write up the dismissal notice.

I'm going to throw it in his face.

I gave you the authority over the Auditing Team,

not over firing Mr. Shin.

Are you joking with me?

Didn't I warn you the construction will be stopped?

Do you want to step down?

But the construction won't stop, will it?

You wouldn't let your hard-earned...

Inpo Apartment construction stop.

After all, you hate suffering a loss.

You have the authority over Ms. Yu's audit.

Use it well.

What will I do with...

the Audit Team Manager who doesn't listen to me?

What are you after?

I have a prior engagement.

(President Hwang Se Woong)

- Hey. - What happened?

Mr. Shin took Ms. Yu to the police station.

Didn't the Vice President Hwang order him to let her be?

That's impossible.

She should be arrested for pocketing money.

Forget about that.

A worker should follow the company's order.

Mr. Shin made the wrong call this time.

He didn't.

We'll get the money back.

The longest sentence you'll get

for 3.4 million dollars is 3 to 4 years.

It's like getting a million-dollar annual salary...

in jail.

So would you return the money?

We'll find the money.

We will, period.

Go ahead. Go and find that money.

Find it, all right?

Stop spouting nonsense.

Great work.

So, what do you think of your new manager?

Is he stressing you out?

The so-called president of the company...

hired externally just to kick me out.

This darned company. I had no one to count on,

so I'm happy to know that you've got my back, kiddo.

That money is the death benefit from the car accident.

How will my grandkids survive after I die?

I'm...

only going with you to stop this absurdity.

I can catch tomorrow's flight.

The investigation will resume based on the union rep's testimony.

You'll be banned from leaving the country, Ms. Yu.

The company will take my side.

And you'll get fired.

I don't care.

Why are you doing this to me?

You embezzled money.

Kang Myung Chul must've promised to go to the US once things died down.

He would've hidden the money until then.

What kind of a life did you dream of with 3.4 million dollars?

Living in a house with a pool...

and a large garden, raising a dog,

wearing designer clothes, and eating high-quality food.

However, you'll live in a room with bars, be watched by dogs,

wear a prison uniform, and eat distributed food.

I...

will have you...

receive discipline.

(Dosam Police Station)

(Dosam Police Station)

An office worker must take care of their stomach.

Mr. Shin will probably be back late.

We should eat for our brains to work.

Why don't we eat?

Let's refuel with some food.

Today's lunch is bulgogi hot pot.

Gosh. It's not even Korean beef,

yet bulgogi hot pot is crazy expensive.

Aren't you going for lunch?

I'm not hungry.

If we cross-exam the two, we'll find the money.

I simply have no appetite.

Got it.

- My gosh. - Goodness.

An audit notice is all it takes to make the food taste better.

It's the end for Mr. Shin.

I've never seen anyone survive...

after going against the Vice President Hwang.

Do you hate Mr. Shin that much?

Of course. He's screwing up our Audit Team.

Are you happy with that? Are you?

I would so love to transfer to a different department.

But look around. Come on.

Nobody wants to eat around us.

We've made too many enemies,

auditing every single department. I've got nowhere to go.

But the Audit Team corrects wrongdoings,

so why did we make enemies?

You're frustrating.

This is why a worker like you is called a rookie.

Got it, you clueless Gu Han Soo?

It's wrong for people to make us their enemy...

simply because we audit them.

That's what I think. Excuse me. Enjoy your lunch.

You're my main enemy. Understood? My main enemy.

He talks back a lot now.

What's more is that... Oh, by the way,

you have your hair down, sir.

It suits you.

I have too little hair for that.

The order of rank in the company is totally messed... No.

The order of rank is a total disaster.

A low-level employee is...

getting in my way, even though I'm a director.

And Mr. Shin is trying to get me fired.

- He glares at me... - Shut it, will you?

Yes?

The union rep testified that it was a lone crime.

I feel bad that your disciplinary measures fell through.

We won't see each other again, so let me tell you this.

Back then and even now,

you're too idealistic.

(Dosam Police Station)

(Dosam Police Station)

(Vice President Hwang Dae Woong)

This is Shin Cha Il.

Stop running wild. You're already fired.

There must be a formal dismissal procedure in writing.

What will you do now?

The embezzlement was orchestrated by an employee,

but you made it look like the union rep did it alone,

so we'll have to audit you, Mr. Hwang.

You're saying I did it?

Didn't you send an attorney to the union rep and make a deal?

A reduction in sentence and some money.

You're amazing.

What a waste that we don't get along.

Cancel Ms. Yu's transfer.

Keep the union rep's statement as it was.

Then your mistake can be undone.

- There won't be any audit, either. - Your threat is laughable.

The company must take responsibility for its workers.

That's easy for you to say since it's not your money.

I only do what will benefit me.

Finding the money and returning it to the union members...

will bring many benefits to you.

The company's reputation and the workers' devotion will rise.

And if the money is lost forever?

Will you take responsibility?

I will.

I will hand in...

my resignation letter.

Is your resignation letter worth 3.4 million dollars?

The conditions must fit the bill to make a deal, you punk.

I'll take your resignation letter...

as collateral for the 3.4 million dollars.

Get us back the money,

or you'll have to cough it up somehow.

How about it?

Fine.

Yu Mi Kyung's transfer has just been canceled.

You take care of the union rep's testimony.

Three days is all you have.

If you fail to settle it by then,

Ms. Yu will be sent to the US right away,

and you'll be blamed for the 3.4 million dollars.

(Audit Team Manager Shin Cha Il)

Yes, this is Gu Han Soo.

The union rep testified that it was a lone act.

Ms. Yu won't fly out for the next three days.

I'll look into what Kang Myung Chul is thinking.

You are to pass on the situation to the others.

Understood.

We need the energy to work now.

The union rep stated it was a lone crime.

We're the ones who have to find the money now.

Was Vice President Hwang behind it?

Yes.

Make sure to have some.

The Audit Team exists to ensure ethical management.

Ethical management is...

the most important company value these days.

Any intellectual is expected to obey...

the code of conduct I've explained so far.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I hope you can all work with passion.

That's it for the lecture. Thank you.

(The Myeong Code of Conduct)

(The Myeong Code of Conduct)

The man who sexually harassed my wife is...

visiting me at work?

I should report you to the police.

Ms. Yu Mi Kyung's transfer has been canceled.

It's only a matter of time...

before we confirm that you were in it with her.

And now, you're threatening me?

This is serious.

If you quit now, you'll look suspicious.

If you spend the money, we'll track your funds.

You're in a difficult situation now.

Well...

Why are you worried about me?

Snap out of it, Mr. Shin Cha Il.

The Audit Team's manager...

who holds lectures on professional ethics...

committed embezzlement?

"Embezzlement?"

There's some dust here.

Stop putting on an act.

Why the long face? Don't fake it in front of me.

I know you're all excited inside.

Sit.

Your transfer has been canceled.

- Pardon me? - I gave Shin Cha Il three days,

so just lie low for the next three days.

Where's the money?

Hide it well in a safe place...

and guard it with your life.

You can go.

I was told the 50-dollar bills were all checked, bundled, and sealed...

and that they could all be traced with the serial numbers.

I'm not an idiot.

Knowing that,

why would I think I could pocket such money all by myself?

Mr. Shin.

Let's start the meeting.

Okay.

Oh, boy.

Kang Myung Chul will try to launder the money.

The cash was taken out as sealed bundles,

and the serial numbers on the bills run in sequence,

so he has to launder it to be able to use it.

But the union rep said he did it alone.

Right?

So, why do we have to find the money?

Besides, Vice President Hwang told us not to, you know?

We should find out what methods he could use to launder the money.

- You brat. - There are a lot of ways.

He could use cryptocurrency or online gambling sites.

He won't do that.

That leaves a trace.

Also, they take hefty commission fees.

Kang Myung Chul won't use...

such easy, dumb methods.

What do you think, Ms. Yoon?

I'm...

not sure if it's right to move ahead with the audit...

when the boss told us...

to drop it.

Exactly. You get what I'm saying.

Hey.

I'll take responsibility...

for everything as the team's manager.

I'll investigate Kang Myung Chul.

I want you guys to look into The Myeong Construction.

We must find evidence of his money laundering activities.

That's it for the meeting.

Okay.

Seo Jin.

We have to help that old man get his money back.

- Hello. - Hello.

(JU Construction)

The doors are closing.

Hey.

The doors are closing.

About Shin Cha Il.

He'll voluntarily hand in his resignation in three days.

And he'll have to repay us the 3.4 million dollars.

Do whatever you want.

What are you cooking up?

I thought it was fishy when you gave me full authority...

to audit Ms. Yu.

I was so preoccupied with Shin Cha Il...

that I let it slip away.

If you manage to prevent losses...

and make Mr. Shin quit as you had wished,

that's good enough.

What else could there be?

There's definitely something else.

Aren't you getting out?

The doors are closing.

Gosh, seriously.

How are we supposed to investigate a different company?

Are we seriously going to do this?

Yes, of course. We have to obey Mr. Shin's orders.

That's right.

In this office, he's the King.

King, my foot.

Go and make me a cup of coffee.

Darn it.

(A new message from Gu Han Soo)

Seo Jin.

The Myeong Construction is building an apartment complex in Dongseo-gu.

Let's go there together.

You want to check their construction site?

You're going overboard.

(Yoon Seo Jin)

Did Vice President Hwang threaten you by any chance?

I've experienced it too, so I know what it's like.

Don't keep it bottled up inside. Let's solve the problem together.

Shall we visit the Ministry of Employment and Labor?

Let's visit The Myeong's construction site.

About Kang Myung Chul.

How could he do that when he's an audit manager himself?

Gosh, I'm starting to fear people.

Just don't trust anyone.

Then you won't be hurt.

I don't want to live like that.

What will Mr. Shin do if he fails to find the money?

Does he have another plan?

Why are you worried about that? Don't worry.

I know we'll find the money.

Hello, can I ask you a question?

Hello, can I ask you a question?

Did anything change at work recently?

What are you talking about? I'm busy now.

- Anything you can think of... - I'm busy now.

Hello!

- Yes. - Has anything changed at work?

Has anything changed?

Oh, right. These days, they give us noodles as a snack.

We used to get bread and milk.

We can take a longer break to go to the dining hall and come back.

- It's nice. - Noodles?

Anything else?

Can you think of anything else?

You know, the way things are done these days makes me a bit sad.

Why?

It's so cold.

I have to worry about so many things just to have dinner with someone.

If I treat you this time, you can treat me next time.

You know?

Yes. You're absolutely right.

After all,

we are working toward the same goal.

We have to understand each other to work well together.

How will we understand each other when we can't even be friends?

I'm equally frustrated too, Mr. Hwang.

We should vent to each other and let it all out today.

Then shall we be friends?

I knew you'd get it.

What's the matter?

What do you call this?

How about a skirmish?

Or leave.

Where did you hide the money?

- What? - Not home. That could be searched.

You deceived people so you wouldn't leave it with anyone.

You'd have hidden it in your vicinity.

Sexual assault,

blackmail,

and defamation too?

Sir.

Your phone's ringing.

Mr. Shin.

If I see you once more,

I'll take action then.

Okay?

(Audit Team)

The Myeong Construction was restructured last year.

Their audit team went from 7 members to 3.

They're so financially strapped...

that there's a rumor they'll be delisted.

Kang Myung Chul would've felt threatened.

Okay, then.

Good job, everyone.

I have some quality info.

There was a rumor Kang Myung Chul lost everything in the stock market.

That's why his wife left him.

That means...

his divorce wasn't a sham just for show,

so there's reasonable doubt...

we're barking up the wrong...

That's motive for embezzlement.

I went to...

The Myeong Construction's site.

The workers said they got noodles instead of bread and milk,

and they used to be paid daily in cash,

but now the money's wired to them.

That's all I found out. Sorry.

They paid the workers in cash?

Yes.

That's odd.

For insurance...

and tax calculation purposes,

laborers are never paid in cash.

The pay is wired directly.

When were they paid in cash?

This was in early January...

and just for five days.

The Myeong's site was a popular place to work at.

- So many people flocked to work. - Naturally.

- Cash pay means they pay no tax. - Right.

The Myeong's finance team.

Look up their names and ages.

Okay.

Senior Manager Kim Chang Geol, age 51, male.

Junior Manager Son Won Seok, age 39, male.

Junior Manager Lee Yeon Ji, aged 37, female.

Employee Lee Yoon Jae...

Your phone's ringing.

(Lee Yeon Ji)

Kang Myung Chul.

He tested his money laundering by paying the workers in cash.

Isn't that a bit of a stretch?

Junior Manager Lee Yeon Ji called Kang Myung Chul.

Late at night.

Late at night?

They're on different teams.

Why would she call the manager of the audit team late at night?

If we suppose they're accomplices...

A junior manager of finance...

- could help launder money. - Right?

- Yes. - You watched too many dramas.

Kang Myung Chul would've given the cash...

meant to pay the workers with to Lee Yeon Ji.

- It's not hard to do. - It's not.

(The Myeong, Finance Team, Lee Yeon Ji)

The safe is unlocked.

Lee would've swapped the bills...

with those withdrawn from The Myeong's account.

The cash that Kang Myung Chul embezzled...

was paid to the laborers at the site.

- A drink? - Here.

The bills were then scattered,

making them impossible to trace by serial number.

Then Lee Yeon Ji...

hands over cash withdrawn from The Myeong's account...

to Kang Myung Chul, concluding the scheme.

The union rep withdrew 3.4 million on December 27 of last year,

and Kang Myung Chul took the bag of cash that day.

Early January fits the timeline.

When word got out and workers flocked,

he felt threatened and stopped the test.

That sounds plausible too.

After that test,

he'd have laundered more money in other ways.

It must be looked into.

- Mr. Gu. - Yes?

Look up Kang and Lee's social networking accounts.

They must be close if they planned this together.

Yes, sir. I'll do that.

I'll get you their phone numbers.

Okay, thanks.

Come in.

(Vice President Hwang Dae Woong)

I have some quality info.

Quality info?

Yes.

If it's not that...

I think Shin Cha Il found out how the money was laundered.

No, he found out. I'm sure of it.

Fortunately, he hasn't found the cash yet.

But as you know, life moves in mysterious ways,

and it's complicated and ever-changing.

- If... - Get Shin Cha Il.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Moon.

"Jeju Island in August?"

(Kang Myung Chul)

(Kang Myung Chul)

August?

This photo...

(Copy)

Why haven't you reported yet?

You get a comprehensive report when the case is concluded.

You fight me at every turn.

Do you know why I dislike you?

I'll explain, so listen.

I loved to play in the sand as a kid.

But ants walked up in single file and got in the way.

"Darn you all."

"Which of you shall I kill first?"

Just when I was wondering,

I saw one ant break from the line...

and walk off carrying a piece of food...

that was massively bigger than its body.

I killed that one.

Isolated and self-willed.

He who stands alone.

What other expression is there?

Don Quixote.

They're the types I hate the most.

Isn't it our rule...

to stay in line and go with the flow?

Who do you think you are...

that you alone say no when everyone says yes...

This is Shin Cha Il.

Very well.

If that's all, I'll get going.

I really will crush you under my foot.

If you look here,

I think it was taken at a Jeju Island hotel.

A photo like this makes me think they're dating.

What happens to Ms. Yu?

We need something more concrete.

Tail Lee Yeon Ji.

Yes, sir.

You can't do this.

How well do you know Kang Myung Chul?

Will you stop it, Mr. Shin?

Do you know he has a girlfriend?

He'll have told you what happens afterward.

That he knows someone in finance who will help him.

It was possible because they were dating.

You say that based on one photo?

If you went to the Florida office,

Kang Myung Chul would've eloped with this woman.

Before you become too miserable,

tell me where the cash is.

How could one change so much?

How could one change so much?

(Electrical Zone Under Construction 300m ahead)

(Beware of U-turning vehicles 100m ahead)

Why would one travel so far on a weekday?

She must be on her way to meet Kang Myung Chul, right?

Maybe she's going to the place where they hid the money.

It's Mr. Shin.

Hello, this is Yoon Seo Jin.

Are any cars tailing you?

I don't think so.

I was just threatened by dump trucks.

It might be dangerous for you too.

Please be careful.

Someone threatened Mr. Shin with a dump truck.

We better be careful.

- Is he all right? - I think so.

Hello.

Is that the truck that threatened Mr. Shin?

Did you take care of it?

- Yes. - Sure.

Kang Myung Chul was behind it after all.

- Are you sure about that? - Yes.

Was it enough for one to think they might die?

- What are you doing? - Taking pictures for evidence.

Is your phone on silent?

Here's the money I promised.

What do we do?

Wait. I think I heard something.

- Just a minute. - Where are you going?

- Gosh. - I'm sorry. It'll be just a moment.

Let's hurry and run to the car.

I swear I heard something.

Darn it.

- What are you doing? - What?

Is something there?

The drivers are mad. Come on, let's go.

Okay, let's hurry.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Darn it.

Over there. Tail them.

(Husband)

Yes, Mi Kyung.

What were you doing?

I'm about to have dinner.

Did you not eat yet? You must be hungry.

Hey, honey. I'm working, of course.

What is that?

- Okay. - It must be the television.

Mr. Shin came to see me just as you said.

I'm sorry, Mi Kyung.

I'm getting a call from work.

Okay. I'll hang up.

Also, let's hang in there.

Once all the papers are sorted, we'll have our hands on the money.

Then we can choose to go anywhere we want. Okay?

Okay.

Honey, are you done?

Were you loud on purpose?

No way. What else could I do? My husband called me.

Should I just turn it off?

What?

Are you okay, Mr. Shin?

Here.

Ms. Yu will have a change of heart now.

(Calls)

(Uncle)

Ms. Yu will have a change of heart now.

(Uncle)

Are you still up?

Did you eat?

Are you preparing your resignation letter?

I prepared a certificate of content proof worth 3.4 million.

I still have time.

Sure. Good luck.

Stay here for a day,

and everything will be over.

- Give me your phone. - What?

The phone is turned off. Transferring to voicemail.

Mr. Shin. Ms. Yu's phone is still off.

Keep working.

Mr. Shin.

Where on earth did Ms. Yu go?

She disappeared at a crucial moment.

I think Mr. Shin will also disappear.

He won't be able to find the money.

That won't happen to Mr. Shin.

How would you know? All you do is fumble around.

Don't get sassy with me.

The phone is turned off. Transferring to voicemail.

You will be charged.

and meet a fairy-tale prince.

from our university days...

was honest, dignified,

and full of dreams.

What happened to you?

I found Ms. Yu.

He found Ms. Yu.

- Really? - I'll put you on speakerphone.

(Manager Shin Cha Il)

Kang Myung Chul laundered money and fabricated sources of funds...

by purchasing and reselling construction vehicles.

We must find his office and secure his business license,

sales contract, and distribution contract as evidence.

The company name is MA Distribution.

The address is Unit 301, Naseok Building,

20 Dongseo-gu.

What a daring man.

Everyone used their company.

It's a great relief that Ms. Yu had a change of heart.

How can you believe her?

She's a habitual liar.

Until we secure the evidence, I won't report her to the police.

If she's lying, we'll turn a blind eye...

and move on to our next plan.

What about the money?

She only knew Kang Myung Chul had it...

because fabricating the source of funds was incomplete.

We'll find the money by making Kang Myung Chul move.

How will we make him move?

I will return...

the favor.

- Mr. Kang. - What is it?

You should read the bulletin board.

- Why? - Check it now.

Yu Mi Kyung will find out soon. She'll come clean about it all.

That's why...

we must find the money as soon as possible.

Got it?

I'll call you back.

Let's go.

Aren't you getting off?

I'm not sure about stealing documents...

from someone else's company.

Well...

You see, people who pocket money...

use trust.

This is the least we can do to catch them, no?

I went to the elder's house yesterday.

And...

Min Seok and Min Hee were cooking food for him.

Is he that unwell?

He'll get better once we settle this problem.

So...

Hang in there, okay?

- Let's go. - Okay.

- It's locked. - I'll call a locksmith.

(MA Distribution)

Hold on.

The window is half open. I'll climb over.

That's too dangerous. Stop being...

A locksmith won't open the door for you.

I'll use the window.

Are you serious?

What if you fall?

I'll be fine.

Be careful.

If I fall,

call an ambulance for me.

How can you make a joke in this situation?

I'm not joking.

When the ambulance comes, ask them to open Unit 301. Got it?

Focus, will you?

Is it open?

I'm not sure yet.

It's open.

(MA Distribution)

What do you think? I'm as good as Mr. Shin, right?

- Hurry up and find the documents. - All right.

- It's these, right? - I think so.

(MA Distribution)

Can you call the insurance company?

I'm too stunned right now.

It's all over now.

We'll disclose...

how you're laundering money.

Gosh, I'm dead scared.

You'll disclose it?

How will you do it?

Didn't I tell you not to run wild?

You can't have it.

Hey, kid.

You can't disclose anything without these.

Seriously.

Are you okay, Han Soo?

We must catch Kang Myung Chul.

Darn it.

Hurry, Seo Jin!

I'm sorry, Mr. Shin.

Kang Myung Chul took the documents. We're chasing after him.

He must be heading to where he hid the money.

Don't lose him.

Understood.

Where could he have gone?

Don't you remember this road?

We took this road when tailing Ms. Lee Yeon Ji.

Over there.

He must've taken it already.

Mr. Kang.

- Return the money. - Hey.

Let go while I ask nicely.

- I can't. - You can't?

Let go.

Why won't you listen to me?

Is this the police?

I'm at...

I'm at Angu-ro 23. Get over here fast.

- Return the money. - Let go of me.

Let go, punk!

Why don't you do as you're told? You're like a leech.

Hey.

I'm sick and tired of you all.

You deserve a beating.

My gosh.

Why do you bring this upon yourself?

Mr. Shin!

Darn you.

You're begging for a beating.

I wish I could stomp on you.

Why do you never give up?

Do what you will,

but you're nothing but your boss' hound.

Darn it.

Shoot.

Hey.

It was a trick.

The money's not here.

You and I both...

were tricked. Darn it.

Finnair has a boarding announcement.

Finnair flight 1207 set to depart at 19:50...

will begin boarding in Section F. Please use boarding gate three.

(Long-term Airport Parking E5)

We found it.

Open it up.

I was right, wasn't I?

People rarely change.

They tried so hard to be smart. What a shame.

I think it was stupid of them to hide it in the car trunk.

Right?

They thought no one would notice a car in the long-stay parking lot.

That complacent mindset...

is why they got caught.

Han Soo Gu. What are you reading?

Will you leave him alone?

I'll make you a coffee.

(JU Public Housing Development Project)

(A fairy-tale house in a fairy-tale village)

We recovered three million dollars taken from the development project.

We'll seize Kang Myung Chul...

and Yu Mi Kyung's assets to recover the rest.

Why are you causing me so much trouble?

I never did.

Leave.

Darn it.

(Vice President Hwang Dae Woong)

Oh, my gosh...

This is Shin Cha Il.

Very well.

Good job.

Did you get the text?

(1 Unread Message, Restricted Caller ID)

(Seokcho Stay Peace Motel, Suite 307)

I hope you understand.

Dae Woong gave me no choice.

Mr. Shin, what do you think of the Vice President Hwang?

Do you think JU Construction needs him?

Sir.

Can I tell the union members we recovered their money?

How about we go together to tell...

You go ahead.

Yes, sir. Got it.

(Let's go to my parents' place after work.)

Let's go to my parents' place after work.

The kids will come with their grandfather.

I have something to do. You can go.

Min Hee and Min Seok will want to see you.

I didn't think you'd come.

I heard you wanted to say something.

You came straight to the airport.

That means you didn't trust me completely.

I wanted revenge.

To get back at him.

That's why I did it.

I'm sorry.

Once the trial begins,

I'll testify in detail about how...

you deceived everyone and how you lied to your staff.

I'll show there's no mercy for an embezzler.

You've changed so much.

Do you know that?

I didn't know I'd changed...

until I saw you again.

You don't know...

how much you've changed, do you?

I do know.

It was a choice.

Why?

Why did you make that choice?

Because of people like you.

Forgive me.

I dated the wrong guy.

You said so yourself...

that I was honest, dignified, and full of dreams.

I'm facing Yu Mi Kyung who is locked up for embezzlement.

Cha Il.

I won't last in a place like this.

You got the money back.

Talk to the union members...

Do you still think...

I'm a romantic?

I'll do my best to show everyone that it's a grave sin...

to betray someone's trust.

(Yes! Chicken)

Enjoy. This is all for you.

- Really? - Yes.

It's not spicy, so you'll like it. Eat up.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- No problem. - Thanks, Mom.

Let's see. Here, Min Hee.

Here, Min Seok. Eat as much as you want.

Thank you for helping me get my money back.

I just did my job. That's all.

- My gosh. - I'm sorry you went through that.

By the way, how come Seo Jin isn't here?

Well, she had to take care of something.

I miss her.

You do?

I promise you I'll bring her next time.

But you have to eat a lot today, Min Hee.

Here.

- You too, sir. Have some. - Yes, all right.

How is it, kids? Isn't it good?

- Yes, it's yummy. - Right?

Actually, the union rep called me earlier.

I guess they let you make phone calls...

in a holding cell these days?

What did he say?

He kept apologizing over and over.

He said he wasn't thinking straight because he was so broke.

He was bawling.

So I told him...

never to make the same mistake again.

You forgave him?

How are you going to live your life...

if you hate people just because you've been scammed once?

Life is short.

Eat as much as you like.

- Get going. Bye. - Good night, sir.

Hey, kiddo.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I have something to tell you.

Okay, what is it?

I also helped the union members...

get their money back.

They're all struggling financially,

and they'd be homeless without that money,

so I thought helping them was the right thing to do.

That's why I helped Mr. Shin.

Good.

Of course, you should help your manager.

Why did you tell us not to find the money?

Did you have dinner?

How about I flaunt my cooking skills for you? It's been a while.

Kimchi fried rice.

You like kimchi fried rice.

Sorry. Maybe another time.

Darn it.

- Hello. - Let's eat!

This is nice.

I want more.

Mr. Shin, they gave me this at the reception.

They said it came via express courier.

(Manager Shin Cha Il)

(Audit those running the construction site dining halls,)

(or everyone who uses JU Construction's dining halls...)

(will be hurt, including the cafeteria at the head office!)

(The construction site for the shopping mall...)

(is the first target!)

- What's wrong? - Hey!

- Oh, no. - What should we do?

- What is going on? - Gosh, I feel sick.

Everyone, stop eating.

All of you!

Stop eating.

(The Auditors)

(Special thanks to Hong Soo Hyun and Lee Shin Ki)

I want you to look into it, in secret.

What about the person who sent the threatening letter?

We will find out.

If they snoop around and comb through stuff,

they'll find all sorts of things.

Why Mr. Shin, of all people?

You think everyone is corrupt...

and is deceiving others, don't you?

Has anyone asked you for a favor...

regarding the management rights?

Where do you think you're going?

Bring me one solid piece of evidence!

I'll write an official apology letter...

and post it on every intranet forum.

In conclusion, the audit was unreasonable.
