Every organization in Korea...
is rotten and lax.
Isn't it a wonderful place?
A wonderful place to embezzle.
What do I have to do...
to take money without any fuss?
You only take money someone pocketed.
You only take black money.
Do you have the file for our service fee last month?
You didn't pick up or wire me the money.
Didn't we agree to be in the same boat?
Is there any way I can embezzle a big lump at once?
TQ Group's hiring...
a chief of the Business Operations Department.
TQ Group?
This is my last word to you.
You better listen, Chief Lee.
A man with bad moral is a chief of Business Operations,
so they think there's a problem with the company.
Just because of one chief of Business Operations,
they don't investigate for fraud and tax evasion.
No matter how much I think about it,
gambling and embezzlement just don't make sense.
Who should take over Chief Lee's work?
Someone who obeys unconditionally, with guts.
Someone that you can use and abandon without a problem.
If I get the job...
and gain control of the Business Operations Department,
I'll be rich in no time.
I know that I lack in many ways.
Tell me what you want...
and I'll give my all to do it.
If I'm useless at my job, fire me then.
What did you just do?
You must have seen me...
sitting right here.
Why did you throw the stick?
You could've slipped it into the bin.
The actual ledgers...
He could use them...
to strangle you into submission.
Where is Chief Kim right now?
Bring the extra copies to Flower Wagon right now.
It's a great day to go out with a bang.
I hate it when you talk. Show your hand!
I don't want to do this.
Gosh.
Don't follow me. Don't you dare follow me.
Don't you...
Oh, no.
Hey! Where are the copies?
Hang on. I sound weird.
Your voice is a bit high.
This isn't the exploding kind of gas.
(HELIUM)
Helium?
Where are the copies?
Get the idiot!
Do something!
Get him!
Go in there and grab him!
Just get him!
(CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION.)
(CONGRATULATIONS)
I did it!
(I'M COMING!)
I got in!
- Chief! - Kim!
(EPISODE 2)
Go to the big world...
and pocket big money, Chief Kim.
I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
You told me not to rely on wishful thinking.
You applied behind my back.
It wasn't wishful thinking.
I got in because I got the skills.
Let us in if there's anything good.
Of course.
My number one value is "sharing".
- Hey. - Sir.
- Go ahead. - Yes, Sir.
Congratulations, Sir.
Also, I'm sorry, Sir.
- Do you mean it? - Yes.
- I'm sorry, too. - I'm sorry.
Hey, Gwang Sook. Give the copied ledger...
- to Mr. Bae tomorrow. - Okay.
I'm sorry, Gwang Sook.
This is great. This is really great.
I feel like...
only good things will happen.
By the way, Sir.
Were you really going to kill me?
Come on, what kind of world do you think we live in?
Hey, wasn't it fun though?
It wasn't fun for me.
What? It was fun for me.
- Wait a minute. - Wait a minute.
I'm writing this...
letter of apology because I was insolent to...
General Manager Lee Gang Sik...
of Accounting Department.
Ms. Yoon.
Yes?
This just came up on the Wall Street tabloid.
Take a look.
(TQ GROUP'S CHIEF LEE WAS A WHISTLEBLOWER.)
"He didn't commit suicide."
"It was made to look like a suicide."
I know it's a rumor, but it's so convincing.
It makes sense, too.
A false story is always more elaborate.
Don't believe the rumors.
Because we knew Chief Lee,
the tabloid makes more sense to us, no?
He was a man of integrity.
This is the truth.
Like it says here, it was made to look like a suicide.
This isn't a movie.
Maybe Chief Lee left something behind.
- What? - Like a secret file.
Come on, you aren't Jason Bourne.
Even if there was a file, it wouldn't be here now.
Someone would've gotten rid of it.
Why are all his work files gone?
Don't let your imagination go wild.
They'll investigate again if something's suspicious.
How can they be trusted?
They could be all in on it.
How could you say that?
How can you not trust the country?
Because they're not trustworthy.
You'd be a fool to trust them.
That's right. We can't trust anyone now.
Right?
There's a qualified man in the final list.
It's Kim Seong Ryong.
I already selected someone else.
I told you I was in charge of...
I have an eye for spotting a man like this.
Just follow my lead.
(KIM SEONG RYONG, RESUME)
Is there a problem?
No.
Where did they find a bummer...
What?
I mean...
Where did you find a skilled and talented...
man like this?
Be quiet. I know what you mean.
What kind of era do you live in?
Don't judge him by his resume.
You should see his actual skills.
You're right.
He starts work tomorrow. Divide up the workload.
Hi, Honey.
What? Make him retake the exam.
You can't let him...
go to such a lousy college.
Don't you dare let him.
I'll kick him out if he does.
I'll be going, Sir.
Did you hear?
Seo Yul resigned.
Everyone thought he'd go to a law firm,
but guess what? Do you know where he's going?
Goodness.
You scared me.
You should learn to knock.
Are you going to be TQ Group's Finance Director?
Yes. What about it?
Did you tell them about...
my investigation strategies and plans?
You tend to overestimate yourself.
Your investigation isn't that complicated...
to figure out.
Among high, medium, low,
you're the lowest.
Why TQ Group?
You know what it's like there.
Is it any different here?
They're the rotten private corporation...
and this is a righteous judicial authority?
Yul.
At least you know how to win.
So what?
The people above tell me to lose.
They say that's the logic and order of things.
Gosh, the way those old jerks talk...
I'd rather come out a trash...
than pretend I'm not.
I don't want to rationalize being a coward...
and live comfortably.
That's not cool.
I'm leaving.
How can a man like this come to our department?
He may be good at his job.
His job? No way.
How can a guy who worked in these small companies...
become a chief in a company like TQ Group?
Darn it.
My goodness.
For me, what's more important is...
his personality and character...
rather than his education and experience.
I want someone who has manners,
who is considerate, and classy.
My goodness. You must be a saint.
Are you afraid that you will have to do more work?
What are you talking about?
That's not the case. Of course not.
By the way, was your written apology approved?
Darn it. I feel like breaking everything in here.
Our saint must be very angry.
(THE TRUTH BEHIND TQ GROUP CHIEF'S SUICIDE!)
(HE IS IN A COMA AFTER A SUICIDE ATTEMPT...)
(CHIEF LEE OF TQ GROUP...)
(A WHISTLE-BLOWER...)
(THE COMPANY DENIES...)
(NOT AT SUICIDE...)
(SOMEONE MADE IT LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE!)
(STOP WRITING RUMORS ON THE INTERNET.)
(IF IT'S TRUE, THIS IS HUGE.)
Something seems fishy.
I thought they were clean.
My goodness.
Choegoda University? Where is this?
It sounds like Waseda University.
By the looks of it,
I can see why Mr. Choo got angry.
Who on earth is this guy?
Deokpo Enterprise? Where's this?
He definitely seems like a broker or a con artist.
He could be a talented guy hiding behind this resume.
Hiding behind what?
Our company is putting us in a huge trouble.
- Darn it. - Is that so?
I didn't get in here to work with a guy like this.
I'm suddenly feeling down.
First of all, when he comes to work,
don't treat him with respect, okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Crumple it up like before. - Okay.
- Like before. - Here.
These three were stacked together.
- This is ripped out. - It's okay.
I'm sorry. It must be a busy hour.
No, it's okay.
Did you see the rumors online?
Yes. I talked to the police about it,
but they told me to disregard it.
I'm sure they would treat it like a false rumor.
Everything seems weird.
They won't show me the evidence...
of his embezzlement and gambling.
The navigation and dash cam memory card are...
both missing, too.
What did the police say?
They said they were gone already when they found him.
I can't believe it.
Should we get a lawyer?
Let's make this a real case.
I already looked into it.
No one would step up.
I'll look for someone, too.
You should eat right.
Thank you, Ha Gyeong.
Darn it.
I read your written apology.
It doesn't sound too sincere.
I wrote it with the sincerest heart.
I don't feel it.
It seems too superficial and formal.
One more revision, okay?
Ms. Na, I have a lot of work...
People and ethics come before work.
And make sure to always smile.
Whenever I come here,
it still feels like the chairman is alive.
Me, too.
I can feel him more here...
than at home.
Let's start doing services at home from next year.
You aren't well.
We'll see.
Oh, right.
I want to be at this shareholders' general meeting.
Really?
It's been a while, right?
Do you want to check anything in particular?
No, I just want to visit...
to see the board.
Okay. You can do whatever you want.
Gosh.
I'm sorry, Father, Mother. Something came up.
You.
You were never on time...
for three years on this memorial service.
You can at least not smell like alcohol.
How can you be...
Hey, I have to go pee. I have to go now.
I told you to stay in the car.
I have to go to the restroom.
Father, how long do we have to be like this?
Can't we live in one place?
My gosh, Son.
I want to be an honest man,
but my coworkers do not seem to want that.
So I'm looking for a company that's like me.
Then you can live dishonestly.
Then we can live comfortably.
Our flesh may feel comfortable.
But I don't think...
I can ever lift up my face to see you if I do that...
until the day I die.
(KIM SEONG RYONG)
- Goodness. - Don't overreact.
- What's this? - That's 300.
- This? - That's 20.
- This? - No, that one.
- That's right. - Like this?
That one. That's 1, 10, 100...
(TO SEOUL)
Stop it. It's not like I'm leaving for a war.
Thank you, Chief Kim.
Thank you for making me into a office worker...
when I used to be a girl who made coffees.
No, you studied hard for this. That's why I hired you.
Like you said,
I'll be wise, diligent,
- Of course. - smart,
- That's it. - and perfect when I take money.
Hey!
That's a great attitude. I like it.
Chief Kim.
I think Madam Jang...
knows that we're about to sell off TQ Delivery.
We tried so hard to keep it confidential.
If she says something at the general meeting,
all the shareholders will be persuaded.
We'll start our plan earlier than the original one.
Chairman.
Do you really need Prosecutor Seo in this?
Why?
Is it because he's inconsiderate and dogmatic?
I already know.
But I need someone who used to catch thieves well.
If a man like him...
becomes a thief for me,
no one will be able to catch me.
There's a newly appointed investigator.
Let her in.
Yes, Sir.
Is it her first day of work today?
Yes, Sir.
Hello!
How can this room cost so much?
Gosh, it's so damp.
I'm in Seoul anyway.
(JEONJU GIMBAP)
- You again. - It's me again.
Hello.
I grabbed it first.
You already know I grabbed it first.
Why don't you be honest and ask me...
to give you this...
because you like Jeonju gimbap.
Why would I ask you that?
Come on.
Gosh, this is so funny.
Two grownups are fighting for a gimbap.
Let it go then.
Can't you take the tuna gimbap?
I'm allergic to tuna.
You should take the tuna gimbap.
I have a trauma. My tongue got stuck...
on a frozen tuna once, so it almost got torn out.
That's a lie.
Come on.
- This is embarrassing. - Then let it go.
Okay. Let's say we're even.
You ruined my cup noodles last time.
Why are you bringing that up now?
Won't you give me this?
You said you weren't that much of a nuisance.
(JEONJU GIMBAP)
Fine.
Was it good?
Was it good? Was it good?
That was the best gimbap I've ever had.
She has interesting manners.
That's refreshing.
Why are you following me?
Don't flatter yourself.
I'm on my way to work. I'm not following you.
Just walk.
What? Does she work here?
Gosh, he's so clingy.
Excuse me, Sir.
May I help you?
I work here.
I've never seen you here before.
Where's your ID card?
Today's my first day of work.
I have to go to HR and get my card.
Please leave.
- Pardon? - I said, leave.
It's my first day of work.
That's not what she said.
That...
Excuse me. Hey, triangle!
- Triangle lady! - Triangle?
How can you call a lady that?
I mean... Triangle...
Well... I... Triangle!
I'm an employee here!
Check with HR!
Triangle! Hey, Triangle!
Tell them, Triangle!
- Triangle lady got it wrong. - Please be quiet.
- Be quiet. - I'm telling the truth.
- Let me go! - Okay.
All right. Okay.
Thank you.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I told you I was an employee here.
I said today was my first day of work!
I thought... You called the lady...
triangle something, so I thought you were a pervert.
Triangle gimbap.
Well...
I didn't mean this.
I meant this!
I'm sorry. Please go in, Chief.
HR is on the third floor.
I'm sorry, Sir.
How could she say I'm a pervert?
I'm sorry. This elevator is for high officials.
Guests and regular employees...
should use Gate B elevators. Thank you.
Elevators for high officials?
Let me use this. There isn't anyone.
I'm sorry. Please use the Gate B elevator.
Good morning, Director.
I'm honored to assist you on your first day of work.
Thank you.
(ACCESS DENIED)
That jerk...
Gosh.
Yes?
It's your turn!
- Bonus! - Who are you?
Hi, I'm...
You are...
Where are you?
How did you follow me here?
Get out!
Who is this?
He followed me all the way to the lobby...
this morning.
No, I...
Why are you doing this to me?
Hey. Look here!
When a woman says no, you should stop.
She says no.
You seem like you're normal...
I'm the chief of Business Operations Department.
I'm Kim Seong Ryong, the new chief.
Well... You should've told me sooner.
You say you should've told me...
but you never listen.
- Still, you should've told us... - What?
Let's welcome him.
I'm the general manager, Choo Nam Ho.
Nice to meet you.
- Can I talk casually to you? - Sure.
I was going to even if you said no.
Introduce yourselves.
I guess you're a shy bunch.
All right. I'll do it.
Starting here, it's Yoon Ha Gyeong, Lee Jae Jun,
Bing Hee Jin, Won Gi Ok, and Seon Sang Tae.
I'm out of breath now.
All right. It's nice to meet you all.
Tell me if I'm not doing my job well.
You should quit if you are.
Is this everyone in Business Operations Department?
Even small companies have at least 10 employees.
It's case by case.
You should quit if the work is too hard.
No. It'll be easier to communicate with fewer people.
- Where my desk? - Before that,
I'll explain to you the most important thing.
Won Gi Ok and Seon Sang Tae. Get it out.
- Yes. - Get what out?
(FLOW CHART)
All right.
This red line here...
is exactly director level.
Clear whatever they give you above this line.
If there are any contingent loss...
or missing expenditure, you have to be creative.
I guess I'll become the general of creativity.
I don't care if you're the general or the commander.
And here, and especially this jerk.
- This man. - Deputy...
CCO, Park Meong Seok?
Not Meong Seok, he's Myung Seok.
Meong Seok means a carpet.
He's Myung Seok, named hoping for a smartness.
He's an idiot though.
Whatever he claims, I don't care...
if he gets an air conditioner in the South Pole.
Clear a Buddhist statue he got at a church, right?
Exactly.
It looks like he's the chairman's son or something.
You are very quick-witted.
It's so obvious. What if I don't clear it?
He will throw a horrendous fit...
He will be very displeased.
What are those...
pink triangles above that red line?
They aren't very influential anymore.
You don't have to mind them.
If they start spending too much,
you have to say something.
Who's that? The one crossed with an orange line.
Who's this?
This has to mean something.
We wiped off tteokbokki sauce on it.
Oh, you're right.
That was Sang Tae's first day.
My gosh. He got flour cake instead of rice cake.
Tteokbokki is better with flour cake.
At least it was tteokbokki.
Anyway, memorize this in five minutes.
Don't leave any record by taking a picture.
- I'm done. - Really?
This isn't hard.
I guess you're good at memorizing these things.
Ha Gyeong can tell him about his work.
Well, he seems like a smart guy.
Let's leave him be.
- What do you mean? - I can do this on my own.
If you don't want to, then don't.
From now on,
everything in accounting and investment will be...
overseen by Mr. Seo.
Mr. Go, you will support him.
Yes, I will do my best.
I will wrap it up with the two companies in China...
within the month.
Oh, transfer them to Mr. Seo, too.
It's right for the finance director to take over.
But the Chinese do not like strangers. We finally...
I'll take it.
I'll get acquainted with them.
Introduce me to some good translators...
and hand over related documents.
I will.
(ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT)
It's an honor to have you.
You're very famous in the world of accounting.
Famous? I doubt that.
I'm probably infamous.
Infamous for taking in all accounting firms.
Were you all accountants?
Yes, we were accountants in Yuseong Accounting Firm.
If you're all from Yuseong Accounting Firm,
you must be good at fiddling and manipulating together.
Right?
Whatever I tell you to do,
do it without asking questions.
Can I be wrong? No.
I'm never wrong.
Accounting Department has to prepare for a big project.
You all have to put out your life for it.
Understood?
Yes, we understand.
(CHIEF KIM)
General Manager, you can't eat lobster for a snack.
Yes, okay.
Your toll receipt says you went to Gangneung,
but all these restaurants are in Seoul.
Yes, okay.
Your list of equipment and receipt do not line up.
Why does General Affairs need a tablet PC?
You can't claim fees for your massages.
That is not a part of our benefit.
Was it a meridian massage? Can we do that?
Does everyone think we're a pushover?
Tell them that they can't be cleared!
They eat what they want and do what they want.
Are we hired to name categories?
How can I make up a list of fake equipment?
Darn it.
My gosh.
- Just make a rough report. - How can we do that?
Tell them we need actual evidence.
- Yes. - Yes.
Yes, Mr. Park.
- Hey, Mr. Yoo. - We can't.
This is a huge mess.
This department is one giant pushover.
There is no end to this.
- Mr. Park, we need receipts. - This is what happens.
- What can I do? - No means no.
Hello...
The elevator...
Director, I'm so sorry for that.
I heard you're with Bae Deuk Po.
I should've met you in the interrogation room.
I was a prosecutor until a week ago.
People like you love me, don't you?
Gunsan's prosecutor is a junior of mine.
He was always complaining how he can...
never catch anyone because you clean up everything.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Are you serious?
How dare you act so innocent?
No, I got in fair and square after a screening process.
Fair and square?
Fair and square.
Why...
do you think...
I hired...
a trash like you?
- So you hired me. - To get justice?
Not at all.
It's easy.
Only guys who've cleaned up illegal stuff can do this.
That's why I hired you.
You applied because you thought you can pocket a lot.
It's not like that.
Okay. You can pocket whatever you can.
Just don't get caught.
Instead, you will need to do something for me.
You have to do this without anyone knowing.
You can't let the anyone in your department know.
General Manager of Accounting will see you tomorrow.
He'll tell you the details.
Go.
Yes.
What is this?
It's like washing my face with toilet water.
It doesn't feel right.
Whatever.
I'll think about it after I meet the general manager.
Hong Ga Eun.
Is this your first time as an intern?
Yes.
You have good grades.
You just passed the CPA test.
Why didn't you go to an accounting firm?
I'd rather work at a regular company.
It's not just about accounting.
I can do many different things here.
Start tomorrow.
Visit HR in the morning.
Thank you.
I'll do my best! Let's go!
Why doesn't the account receivable match...
the account payable for last winter?
- Gosh. You don't even know the basics. - Come on.
We have a lot of work, so we make petty mistakes.
Don't say that.
You're putting down their spirits.
I don't know about anyone else,
but Business Operations can't make mistakes.
The spending record was already incorrect.
It's not our fault to begin with.
Ms. Yoon. Do you want to write another apology?
Don't dream about leaving early.
Revise everything by tomorrow.
Sure.
I'll revise them.
- Are you the new chief? - Yes.
- Are you... - General Manager Lee Gang Sik.
Oh, I see.
It's due tomorrow morning.
Close the door!
Gently!
Gang Sik, that jerk.
He always treats us like dirt.
I just want to punch him.
I'll revise it.
Instead, can you throw me a welcoming party?
Excuse me.
How can you say that after what's happened?
A welcoming party? We will do that.
- Really? - Let's do it.
Be at Day and Night by 7pm.
Day and Night?
Okay.
- Will you be there? - I have plans.
I knew it. I'll see you all later.
He wants the whole package.
Why does he want a welcome party?
Can't he see what the situation is?
Not only is he uncultured, he's also slow-witted.
Don't you think we're being too obvious?
This way, he won't run wild.
If we are nice to him,
he'll run wild with his power.
Yes. What should we eat, anyway?
Shall we eat pork belly?
You had meat yesterday.
- Meat must be consumed every day. - Correct.
Where's Sang Tae?
I didn't send him a text.
Why not?
All of us aren't going, so he'll take on the new chief.
Why aren't the others here yet?
Is it just me?
Hello, you must be Mr. Seon.
Oh, hello.
Why are you alone?
Have a seat.
The others can't make it.
They must have plans.
It's their loss if they're too busy.
Put your bag down.
Can we have the menu, please?
So you studied philosophy.
Yes, but I couldn't find a job after I graduated.
I studied accounting for two years at an institute,
got my license, and joined TQ.
Aristotle.
Both philosophical and knowledgeable. Very cool.
It's not cool at all.
It is.
I can tell right away that you are popular with girls.
Your facial muscles are very balanced.
I'm not.
My last girlfriend left me while I was in the army.
She said she'd wait,
but she found another man and then came to visit me.
How could she do such a thing?
I see. That's what happened.
You can't go shoe shopping in bare feet.
You go in with an old pair and come out with a new one.
Open up.
You're so gross.
- What a witch. - That witch.
My gosh.
She should drink less coffee.
I ask her out for a coffee and she already had one.
Women these days are addicted to caffeine.
I ask we should watch "The Avengers".
"Sorry, I saw it." When it opens tomorrow.
She must've been to a preview.
Oh, maybe.
What do you think about her?
She's pretty.
Isn't she? She worked for me in Gunsan.
She's very sweet.
Honest, not greedy at all,
makes a mean cup of coffee.
- Coffee? - She was a barista.
Do you want to meet her?
What? Yes. Yes, please.
- You are totally Gwang Sook's style. - Really?
Strike a pose. 1, 2.
It's from Chief Kim.
How could he?
He knows the kind of guy I like.
This one's a straight-up nerd.
Nerds are boring.
I guess he is sort of cute.
How about the new chief?
Do you not like him?
I thought you said if he's a decent guy,
his background doesn't matter.
Manners, consideration, class.
He lacks everything.
Don't fill your own glass.
- Sir. - What?
Can we not brief every new hire...
the way we do right now?
I'm afraid what the others think.
We can't quit.
That's the only way to stay alive.
You tell the others to be exact and thorough,
but you and I do whatever our superiors say,
and we give in to every demand.
There are holes everywhere.
Hey.
Each morning before I leave home for work,
I take out my guts and put them in the fridge.
I get upset every single day.
But what can we do?
We have to make a living.
I think I just reached my limit.
I'm not sure how much longer I'll last.
Ha Gyeong.
Hang in there just a little bit longer.
I really want to do something meaningful.
(COME TO FINANCE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!)
This is my first obstacle.
You will need to do something for me.
You have to do this without anyone knowing.
You can't let the anyone in your department know.
I think this obstacle might trip me up.
Let's just go around it.
(GIANT JERK)
Why are they using water on a winter morning?
That was so embarrassing.
We ate way too much.
Good morning.
- Chief. - Hi.
Good morning.
Do you feel okay, Sang Tae?
Yes, I feel fine.
Next time, let's go for some webfoot octopus.
Yes, Chief.
I'm off to the Accounting Dept. to hand in my report.
See you later.
Why are those two so tight?
- Seon Sang Tae. - Yes?
What's wrong with you?
How did you befriend the new chief?
I had a drink with him.
I think he's a really nice guy.
He studied the humanities.
Sang Tae.
Did he offer to set you up with a woman?
No, he did not, no.
That came out weird.
I think that's it. Don't you?
- Right? - No.
I'm not that desperate...
- Do you like women? - No.
- I do. - I also...
I don't know.
- That's it. - That's so it.
He agreed to a blind date.
Don't laugh.
Chairman Park.
I don't need help with the bills or compensation.
Just tell the truth. Let the world know!
- Who's she? - The wife of...
Chief Lee who's in hospital.
The rumors are true, aren't they?
You know why my husband ended up like this!
Get rid of her.
If you won't tell the truth, I'll reveal it all!
Sir!
- Sir! - Stop!
Sir!
Let go of her! She's an employee's wife!
Why are you here alone? What if they hurt you?
No one's on my side. No one at all.
If I don't do this,
no one will help reveal the truth.
Yoon Ha Gyeong speaking.
Who are you?
Could we meet this evening?
This place is a whole new world.
Chief Kim.
Hello.
Intern, come here.
- To General Affairs, please. - Sure.
- Ga Eun, give this to Mr. Lee. - Okay.
It's nice here. You even have a coffee pot.
Are those macarons?
Work brought you up here today,
but for everything else,
I will contact you only via phone calls.
Okay.
That USB contains...
last year's audited TQ Logistics' financial statements.
It also contains details of what you must do.
Why are you giving me this?
Go through those files first.
You will see what happened last year,
and what will happen in the future.
Could you give me a little hint?
You just have to make a lot and manage it...
as we tell you.
Once you've read the files, keep everything a secret.
What's on there is worth front-page news.
Do you get my drift?
What's this?
I'm getting the impression that...
these people are very gutsy thieves.
That works for me.
A small-scale thief like me won't stand out.
Oh no. I'm so sorry.
I'm really sorry.
- What? - Off!
Off. Right.
(HONG GA EUN)
- An intern? - Yes.
Don't spill any more coffee.
I'm really sorry.
What's wrong?
You're walking weird.
I heard it's good for one's health to walk like this...
once a week.
Is that right?
I thought someone had hit you down there.
I hope to see you.
I'll be waiting.
Why are you so distracted?
- Why care? - Why care?
Right, why care, none of your business, you know?
Ladies and gentlemen,
if your workload's too heavy, offload it onto me.
Are your workloads bearable?
It's not that.
They trust themselves more than they trust you.
Is there anything I can do for you?
No.
Chief Kim.
I have a job for you. You can...
Gosh.
This is no joke.
(ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT)
(LIQUID ASSETS)
(61ST, 62ND)
What's this?
(LIQUID LIABILITIES)
Why did they give me this?
Is this it?
(CHIEF OF TQ'S BUSINESS OPERATIONS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE...)
(AFTER SUSPECTED OF ACCOUNTING FRAUD AND TAX EVASION.)
It is.
This is what it was about.
(TELL THE TRUTH! THE TRUTH DOES NOT DISAPPEAR.)
My husband's attempted suicide was fabricated.
My husband is not an embezzler or a gambler.
He served his company loyally.
I shouldn't do it.
It's just too dangerous.
I'll just stall,
get my million dollars and disappear.
I need your help.
What did you do...
to not only make her show up in my presence...
but to go on a one-man protest outside my building?
She even talked to the press.
I apologize, Sir.
We blocked the major media outlets,
but a small internet broadcaster showed up.
Blocking the media isn't the end of it.
The rumors have already spread overseas.
Sort it out fast.
I won't put up with this...
in my own front yard.
There's no way to stop a legal protest.
Isn't it your job to find a legal loophole...
and sort this out?
It's not. Such menial tasks are yours.
I have important work to do.
You should think about it.
There must be a good excuse. Oh.
Try not to botch it this time.
I won't condone it.
(TELL THE TRUTH! THE TRUTH DOES NOT DISAPPEAR.)
How much longer must we put up with her?
It's a peaceful one-man protest.
We have no legal way of getting rid of her.
As you can see, she isn't on company property.
What a joke.
Lady.
You can't do this here.
Don't you watch the news?
Your husband took company money to...
If you dare...
shoot your mouth off once more,
goodness knows what I might do to you.
Just my luck.
I'm sorry to call you over like this...
when we've never met.
It's fine.
Would you be willing...
to listen to my grumblings and requests?
What are you talking about?
It may sound abstract,
but I wish to correct what is wrong.
I heard a lot about you.
You're very capable,
you value rules and principles,
and most importantly, you do not stand for injustice.
Where did you hear all that?
I have a lot of spies on the inside.
I made up my mind the day I first saw you.
I want you on my side.
We can't let Chief Lee's wife suffer like that.
It's all too unfair.
For you to say it's unfair means...
something is wrong, right?
What exactly do you need me to do?
Find evidence of...
accounting fraud within the company.
Those who are behind this...
are ruining the company.
TQ Group is crumbling.
For something so serious, you need more than...
Prosecutors side with the powerful.
I'm still too weak.
Ma'am, how could I do something like that?
You're more than capable.
I plan to recruit more to our side.
I'm sorry, Ma'am.
It's not something I can do.
(SEND)
It's freezing cold.
Sir.
What took you so long?
Sorry.
It's so cold up here.
Whatever.
Did you see the files and figure things out?
Yes.
You don't want to do it, do you?
No.
- What? - Hands out.
You're planning to stall,
then make away with a chunk of change.
Not at all.
I've seen more than my fair share of scums like you.
You don't go in too deep.
You take what you can and run.
- I wasn't going to. - If you don't do it,
you'll go to prison.
For everything you did in Gunsan,
I'm positive I can get you at least seven years.
I'm not as soft as my junior prosecutor back there.
Clam up and do as you're told.
You can steal all you want.
I won't stop you.
- Okay. - And...
don't you ever get caught or noticed.
Lie low and quiet, okay?
Yes, Sir.
- Let's do this. - Sure.
It's freezing cold.
Gosh.
I'm freezing.
(TELL THE TRUTH! THE TRUTH DOES NOT DISAPPEAR.)
That was cute.
Do you think you scare me?
I'll take a fortune...
and disappear to Denmark.
(TELL THE TRUTH! THE TRUTH DOES NOT DISAPPEAR.)
No!
Talk to me. Are you okay?
Yes.
That startled me.
Are you okay?
I am.
Are you okay?
Blood...
This... Isn't this kimchi sauce?
Hey!
A lifesaver! A lifesaver!
(TELL THE TRUTH! THE TRUTH DOES NOT DISAPPEAR.)
(A LIFESAVER!)
(CRASH!)
(I MISS MY MOM'S KIMCHI.)
(MOM, I THINK I TASTE YOUR KIMCHI.)
(CHIEF KIM)
It's your last warning.
Don't do anything to stand out.
Stay in a corner...
and keep quiet like the dirt-shovel you are.
Shut your mouth!
I should whack you in the throat.
My head hurts.
Why was the footage deleted?
What about reasonable doubt?
Consider his record and attitude.
First, approach Chief Kim Seong Ryong...
and get close.
Fine.
Let's really get down to business.
I am a righteous man.
