[The Auditors]

Hey!

Pull yourself together.

Hey!

Hey!

Pull yourself together.

Head Choi! Hey!

Hey! Pull yourself together.

Are you okay?

[The Auditors]

Hey.

Are you okay?

What about you?

I'm not okay.

Be patient. They're almost here.

What a brute.

He's breathed in too much smoke.

Oxygenate them right now and prepare albuterol.

Yes, sir.

You need to be treated.

Excuse me, please check his condition.

This way, please.

Hey.

Is Mr. Shin okay?

He's being under treatment.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

By the way, what happened?

Secret funds?

Mr. Shin is poking and prying to find it.

He even asked it to me.

You're not involved in it, right?

It's the money

Head Choi told me before.

That was when I realized why Head Choi approached me.

It was a trap Hwang Se Woong set for me.

So I rushed recklessly to the funeral.

Damn it.

That is how it came to happen.

Don't move. You need to relax.

How is the patient who came with me?

The prognosis is poor. He's still unconscious.

But your condition is also bad.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

No, you're not fine.

Please tell him. It'll be serious if he moves like this.

Doctor. No one can wear him down.

Don't worry.

I won't hold the hospital responsible.

I should stop the cremation.

If I fail the proof to indicate murder will be gone.

Sir, there it is…

Stop them!

What are you doing? Hurry up and move your car now.

Hey… What's going on?

We stop it.

What?

We're going to have cremation. You're late.

We should conduct an autopsy.

The ex-president was murdered.

Mr. Shin. Why are you making a disturbance?

Excuse me.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying someone killed my husband?

Are you out of your mind?

No. Tell me.

Who killed my husband?

It's the vice president.

The ex-president passed away right after the vice president visited the hospital.

What are you doing?

To resolve suspicion you should conduct an autopsy.

Conduct an autopsy.

- Hey. - Stop talking.

Conduct the autopsy right away.

But how can we stop the cremation?

We should tell them we're suspicious of the president.

They're not going to believe us

because we don't have strong evidence.

Then, what should we do?

I'll put you in a fix saying you're a murder suspect.

What are you talking about?

It's just a bait.

That is too…

No.

You do that.

The sister-in-law will respond to your saying.

But promise me that you will definitely capture Hwang Se Woong.

It's me who is under suspicion.

But your look looks much more serious.

Sir, are you okay?

Carry him to a hospital. Hurry up.

Lie down. The treatment hasn't ended.

Has the autopsy started?

It's started.

It's a high-profile case. So they'll work on it quickly.

- How is Head Choi? - He's still unconscious.

But the president…

He's moved Head Choi to Nasun General Hospital.

- Rest more. - We don't have time.

I need to meet with Head Choi.

No one except for his family is allowed to visit.

You won't see his face even though you go there.

I should meet his family.

Sir.

What's wrong with you?

Why do you risk your life on an audit?

It's a work

that puts people's lives at stake.

Mr. Han Soo. Follow me.

Ms. Seo Jin. Investigate the scene of the fire.

It's burned to the ground.

There's nothing left we can use as evidence.

There's no CCTV around here.

Sir.

I'm also curious.

Why do you risk your life on an audit?

Excuse me.

I'm Goo Han Soo a member of JU's Audit Team.

Hello.

What brings you here?

How is your husband?

He breathed in a lot of smoke.

They said they needed to observe his condition

but he showed improvement.

That's a relief.

May I visit him?

You can't enter the room.

We're from JU's Audit Team.

We will just check Head Choi's condition.

Only his family can visit him.

I can't believe the ex-president was murdered.

I don't understand what's going on.

I know you're innocent.

Hey.

Do you trust me?

Well…

Definitely, I trust you.

Leave us alone.

Yes, sir.

You should

pull out of the Audit Team right now.

What?

Why are you saying it suddenly?

I'm so worried about you.

Considering what happened to Mr. Shin and Head Choi

there's a chance that you can be hurt.

I can't tolerate it.

Stay out of it if you don't want to worry your mom.

Why don't I transfer you to another department?

I'll follow your words.

Thank you.

But I'll transfer after finishing this work.

Hey…

Who are you guys?

I'll arrest you without a warrant on the charge of murdering Mr. Hwang Geon Woong.

You have the privilege against self-incrimination and the right to a lawyer.

Do you understand it?

- Take him. - Yes, sir.

I understand

so don't shackle me.

Don't worry.

I'll be back soon.

Mr. Vice President was arrested.

As a result of the autopsy they've found a circumstance of a murder.

They said they found a drug inside the body

and crucial evidence.

What evidence?

I'll check it out.

Sir.

Please let me know. What should I do now?

Mr. Shin Cha Il.

The president has ordered you to transfer to the Support Team right now.

What are you talking about?

We'll carry your stuff.

Mr. Han Soo.

Go to the purchasing department now and secure the materials with Ms. Seo Jin.

Sir.

Let's go.

Let's go.

The president's office has already retrieved everything.

[Support Team]

Sir.

We couldn't secure anything.

What should we do now?

Mr. Han Soo.

Yes.

This is your lighter, right?

Yes.

You said you didn't meet Hwang Geon Woong

but it was found in his hospital room.

Please explain it.

I don't know.

There was only your fingerprint on it.

Be straight with us.

If you keep taking the Fifth it'll be unfavorably applied to you.

Don't you still want to say anything?

[Notice of general meeting of stockholders]

I heard the rumor that he killed the ex-president.

Is it true?

I'm worried about how the company is going to be.

The rumor that the vice president was arrested could be true.

Item about dismissing the vice president?

I heard that he killed the ex-president.

It's too scary that I can't come to work.

'He ruined the company's reputation severely'

'because he's under the suspicion of murder.'

Add that he played a part in creating secret funds.

What?

Everyone knows that the vice president was close to Head Choi.

You're right.

- Deputy Director Yum. - Yes, sir.

Inform the rest of the Audit Team.

If they help Mr. Shin the disadvantages will be considerable.

You got it, right? I told you.

Don't risk your life on the company stuff.

It's good not to cause trouble.

But if we accept disadvantages it's okay to help Mr. Shin.

How could you interpret it like this?

I already think this is the last work in this department.

Don't think it's your last work.

I don't like to just wait and see.

I'll support you as much as I can.

You should stop them.

What about you?

- You won't help? - I…

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know. Okay. Let's do it.

I have something to report to Mr. Shin. I'll be back.

I passed your words to her.

But we haven't found the account book yet.

Isn't it hard to arrest him without it?

It now depends on Head Choi.

Sir.

Mr. Choi…

I'll pronounce him dead.

Choi Joong Woo has passed away on June 10th at 1:55 p.m.

They say Mr. Choi died.

I see.

Let's keep up the work.

Yes, sir.

I've finished checking the data.

What do you want from me?

Make sure to investigate the vice president fairly.

Tell them right now.

What time is it now? Why isn't Mr. Shin coming?

If he's late, I should go inside…

He told you to do what the president ordered until he would contact you.

You should trust him.

Sir. Don't be nervous. You can do it.

I really don't want to do this.

Time's up. You should go.

I know.

- Don't push me. - I see.

- Don't push me. - I didn't.

[JU Construction Extraordinary meeting of shareholders]

- When on earth is he going to arrive? - Are you okay?

It's time to do this.

Hello, everyone.

Let's begin JU's extraordinary meeting of shareholders.

President Hwang Se Woong will explain today's item.

Hello. I'm Hwang Se Woong.

I'll explain the item right away.

Today's item is about to remove the vice president from office.

Let's look at the screen.

[The item about dismissing the vice president Facing a charge of murdering the ex-president]

Vice President Hwang Dae Woong was arrested without a warrant

on the charge of murdering his older brother.

It ruined the company's reputation severely.

It's an issue that has yet to be brought to court.

Aren't you going too far?

The fact that the news deals with it and it's on everyone's lips severely

hurts the company's image.

And there's more trouble he caused.

He tried to turn the directors to his side with the secret funds

that Head Choi had created.

Director Yang, isn't it true?

Well…

He just called the directors to encourage them.

We just met to eat a meal.

And he didn't hand over money…

Everyone heard that, right?

Like this, he embezzled the secret funds and tried to use them as a bribe.

It's a serious malpractice.

So, I propose his dismissal.

Then, let's vote.

Please raise your hands if you are in favor of it.

Announce the result.

All right.

According to the voting I declare that

the item about the Vice President's resignation has been passed.

We've finished the item.

Let's wrap it up.

Let me finish the extraordinary meeting of shareholders.

Thank you for today.

It's too early to finish it.

Do you expect me to be brought into custody?

What a shame.

The meeting has ended.

And you're dismissed.

I'm also a stockholder with 13% shares.

We should deal with my item.

Everyone, sit down quickly.

Don't close the door.

Someone will come in.

Mr. Shin isn't the Audit Team leader anymore.

He doesn't deserve to attend the meeting. Don't you know it?

- He deserves to attend it. - What?

He's a witness who will give an important testimony.

Let's start.

The item is about dismissing someone who embezzled money

took a bribe, and killed his brother

because he ruined the company's reputation.

This person is a total bastard.

This kind of bastard should be dismissed.

- What do you think? - Of course, you're right.

I also propose

dismissing the president for the reasons mentioned above.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying I'll dismiss you on the charge of creating illegal secret funds

malpractice, embezzlement

giving a bribe to a high-ranking official and murder.

Can you prove it?

Do you believe that bullshit?

Of course, I can prove it.

That's why I've brought

the witness here.

You can start.

Sit down.

I'm Shin Cha Il, the Audit Team leader.

It's how Head Choi created secret funds with the ex-president.

And the Archcle has been operating even after the ex-president fell.

This means that secret funds have been created since then.

- I guess Head Choi has created it. - You're right.

But the real owner who used it personally isn't him.

The funds of Archcle flowed to J-BIMS research and the modular building development

of the Yulryeong factory.

These are the major businesses Mr. President had pushed.

Do you have proof that Archcle's funds flowed to those two businesses?

The funds were laundered through various places. So, it's hard to trace the funds.

So, you're saying you don't have evidence, right?

This is what Head Choi left.

It contains the account book and accounts showing the cash flow.

And this is the phone recording with the president.

We should re-create J-BIMS. Send the money within this week.

Send one billion won to the Yulryeong factory under the name of research.

Give more work to the Archcle.

We need to make more funds. Hurry up.

Do you admit that you've embezzled the secret funds?

That's what the ex-president had created.

I just used them for the company.

You're right. The ex-president created the secret funds.

But you're the one who took care of them after the ex-president fell.

I did.

You already said it.

Those funds were used for J-BIMS and modular building development.

I used them all only for the company.

Isn't it a problem?

What a bullshit. That's a malpractice.

Malpractice?

Have you found proof that I used them privately?

- That doesn't matter. - What are you talking about?

A court ruled that creating secret funds and using them for a company isn't malpractice.

Even the court judged that it wasn't a crime. Why are you saying it's a crime?

Is it true?

It's true. There is that kind of precedent.

Do you dismiss me

because I worked hard for the company?

You didn't use the money only for the company.

What did you say?

President Hwang Se Woong recently ordered his staff

to send me a gift.

I swear to my son.

I received it because I thought it was a gift of less than 30,000 won.

But I checked it yesterday. I found cash in the box

so I voluntarily reported it to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport.

I'll accuse President Hwang Se Woong

of deceiving me and bribing me.

As of today, I will cooperate with all the investigations

will not show any leniency

to those who do this kind of heinous crime.

How could you persuade Undersecretary Ahn?

Head Choi recorded whenever he delivered a bribe.

It's three six-figure papers. I look forward to your kind cooperation.

Put it on the trunk.

And there's more.

- There's more? - Yes.

You will wait and see.

It was to remove the regulations on the modular building.

Once again

it was all for the company.

If I could remove the regulations it would be good for the company.

No, for the entire construction industry.

Who can swear to me?

He told me to investigate the contract of Cheongon Sports Complex.

He must've wanted to keep the vice president in check.

He didn't hesitate to damage the company

in order to dismiss the vice president and take over the company.

It's the malpractice.

The company's future will be dark if he becomes the president.

So, it's natural to remove him like a cockroach.

Don't you think so?

All of you are idiots.

You don't know what is right.

- Mr. Hwang Se Woong. - What?

Do you want me to wait here to be dismissed?

I don't care. So do whatever you want.

This isn't all you did.

- What? - I told you.

It's the same standard.

You…

You killed a person.

Are you even trying to entrap me?

What happened?

Explain what this is.

I'll explain it.

He tried to kill Mr. Shin and me

when the Audit Team found out about the secret funds.

Hey.

But Head Choi and I didn't die.

He tried to kill Head Choi again when he heard Head Choi was on the mend.

Mr. Shin warned me that you would kill me.

You must be prepared.

I'm sure he'll try to kill you.

So I made a plan.

They said my husband was on the mend.

I pretended I was dead by persuading the doctor

and my wife and gave a USB to the Audit Team

with the hope that you'd be punished.

Confess everything now.

Confess? What is he saying?

This wasn't his first time trying to kill someone.

He killed a person in the same way.

The ex-president.

Are you crazy?

On June 4th night, he was at the hospital earlier than the vice president.

After the vice president left he secretly entered the room

by avoiding CCTVs.

That was how he killed the ex-president and escaped the room.

It's the syringe that we found at the president's office.

Hello, sir. The president is absent now.

I left something inside. It won't take long to find it.

The drug in the ex-president's body is the same as that found in Head Choi's body.

You'll be accused of bribing attempted murder, and murder.

How could you kill your brother?

You're finished.

You got slammed at the last stage.

Sir!

It's what he asked for.

Brother asked for all this trouble.

I have a question.

Why did you hire me?

[JU Construction President Hwang Se Woong]

I'll even audit you. Is it okay?

I don't care if it's necessary

to develop JU.

I wanted to make the company

fair and righteous.

But corruption was rampant.

I should be evil

to fight against evil.

Isn't it your faith?

That's why I did all of it.

It's sophistry.

In any language, you're the most corrupt guy.

You have no choice

but to wait for the punishment.

Mr. Hwang Se Woong.

I'll arrest you on the charges of attempted murder murder, and bribing a high-ranking official.

You can take the Fifth and have the right to a lawyer.

Take him.

What? Look at that.

That's the new JU's president.

I hope there won't be any trouble.

[Hwang Dae Woong takes JU's office as president. He's announced a new road map to overcome a crisis]

[President Hwang Dae Woong]

I'm really happy today, sir.

I want to act frivolously.

President Hwang Dae Woong!

President Hwang Dae Woong!

Congratulations!

I'm happier than when my son was accepted to my university.

Because that was my son's life

but your promotion is related to my life.

I'm so happy.

By the way the vice president position is vacant.

Someone will…

I remember someone was suspicious that I was a murderer.

It was you, right?

Me? No. That's a total nonsense.

You hesitated to tell me that you trust me.

Frankly, I was surrounded by dark fog.

I had no slightest idea of what would happen next.

But I didn't release my grip on the rope of hope

and endured the hardship in order to be next to you.

Your loyalty is short of being a vice president.

I've been loyal to you for over 30 years.

We've spent 30 years together.

This much is enough.

You must be tired. Have a drink.

Thank you.

Nice.

What? It isn't coffee.

We've drank too much coffee recently.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

It's a lemon tea.

It's good.

Did you make it yourself?

I don't have time to wash and slice it with great care.

So, I bought it.

It's so refreshing.

Our life has been eventful. I don't want to go through it again.

Seo Jin.

Take care of me.

It's not me who got promoted.

Why are you buttering her up? She's not the president.

- Please take care of me. - What?

Sir. This is for you.

Let's have a meeting.

Right.

- Let's go. - Yes.

The expenditure and the agreed contract sum matched.

There's no issue on the documents.

Thank you. Let's wrap it up.

Sir. We've handled so much work.

Why don't we have a staff dinner to get rid of stress?

That's a good idea.

We haven't yet thrown a welcoming party for you.

I'm up for it.

I'm definitely up for it.

Okay.

You came here to feel a sense of superiority by looking at me.

- Be straight with me. - What?

Brother fell a year ago.

Were you really not involved in it?

- Why do you want to know that? - Tell me.

That was an accident.

[A year ago]

What brings you here?

Why did you promote Dae Woong to an executive?

We agreed to dispatch him to a regional branch.

You're right.

But I entrusted him with some work. He picked up on things and learned quickly.

He'll work his ass off for me.

It's because he's been reading people's minds since he was young.

Don't you know he's lobbying secretly?

He's corrupt.

Lobbying is a practice to run a company.

You just pretend to be incorrupt and can't do anything.

He's better than you.

Is that why

you will use the secret funds?

- What? - Do you think I don't know it?

The Archcle Design.

It's a shell company you created to make secret funds.

Do you plan to increase your shares by using those funds?

You might not know but the president needs black money.

You don't deserve that position. You took it because you're older than me.

Come on.

You must've mistaken it.

Hey.

It's not because you're the second son.

Dad told me that you're like a snake.

He said you were so wicked and unfathomable.

He was afraid of having you near him.

You were dumped by Dad, too.

What is it?

Hey.

Come on.

Why do I feel so dizzy?

Come on.

Hey.

I feel so dizzy.

It's weird. I feel so dizzy.

It's hard, so do not resist.

I'll take care of everything.

I'll change everything, including the company.

So…

Do not resist.

That was an accident.

That was…

an inevitable accident.

You look a bit more obedient.

Is it because I've become the president?

You don't know how to take a joke.

I didn't know you were joking.

The Audit Team is under my immediate control.

That'll be a lot of work and we should cooperate.

[Letter of resignation]

What is it?

Are you quitting your job because I'm the president?

No.

- My job here has ended. - No.

Your job hasn't ended yet.

So, work for me at least one more year.

I know how much you love the company.

But your way is a bit dangerous and aggressive.

Keep it in mind.

I want to see your arrogant attitude more.

I'll go.

- Won't you drink? - No.

I have always wondered

if it is your normal way of speaking.

Right.

You're always using the honorific.

It's challenging to be close to you and I feel so distant.

You are doing it on purpose, right?

It's my normal way of speaking.

I was joking.

You're speaking like a robot.

Sir. Let's have this kind of time often. Isn't it good?

Right.

I have something to say to you.

I've submitted a letter of resignation to the president today.

I'll resign from the Audit Team leader as of today.

Today is the last day?

So, this is your farewell party.

Will you work for another company?

I have no plans yet.

Then, why don't you lead us more?

I still have lots to learn from you.

You've done your parts well.

Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you.

Don't be sad.

Let's make a toast. Shall we?

Okay. Let's make a toast.

What chant should we do?

I'll audit you.

What do you say?

Okay. Let's go.

One, two, three.

- I'll audit you. - I'll audit you.

Thank you for all you've done.

You've gone through a lot of things.

I'm sorry for not being obedient.

I'll walk you along until you get in a car.

Do you think

I can pull it off?

Do you remember you asked me why I risked my life on an audit?

It was when I was a rookie on an Audit Team.

I found out that the purchasing amount didn't match the payment.

Rebar?

I checked the audit report for purchasing building materials.

The actual purchase cost is worth 300 tons.

Why did we pay the money worth of 420 tons of rebar?

Do you think I turned a blind eye to siphoning after taking a bribe?

No, I mean…

Do you worry that the building under construction will collapse due to a shortage of rebar?

That's not what I mean.

Let's return to work.

I just believed his suspicious explanation.

No.

I just didn't want to cause any trouble.

He's the same Audit Team member. I should trust him.

A construction site collapsed? Where is it?

Dad…

You're not allowed to enter.

Pull yourself together!

What's wrong with it?

Everyone will die.

Dad!

Dad. I'm here.

Dad!

I couldn't take care of you as much as other families did for their kids.

I'm so glad that you got hired by a large company.

Good luck!

Dad!

Please help me.

As a result of turning away from the truth

the construction site collapsed

and I lost my Dad.

That was when

I realized that people's lives depend on the result of auditing.

I also hope that a world where we can trust people will come.

Until that day comes

try to maintain a disinterested stance.

- I'll go. - Sir.

Thank you

for all you've done.

Please take care of yourself.

What's the matter suddenly?

Do you want to have an interview here?

What?

It's the details of the usage of your company card.

Do you admit that you used it privately?

Don't you think he's changed?

Yes. Absolutely.

He must think he's Mr. Goo Cha Il.

I feel the same way.

It feels like Mr. Shin is still our leader.

'Let's have a meeting.'

When will the new leader come?

I'm sure of one thing.

What is it?

That position isn't yours.

I'm okay. I'm not greedy.

Really?

Of course.

Anyway, I'm wondering if Seo Jin is doing well or not.

You don't need to worry about her. She's so smart that she will do her part.

[Department of Housing business]

Excuse me.

- Here it is. - Thank you.

I'm afraid because it sounds like, 'I'll audit you.'

Will the project proposal be finished within this week?

Yes.

Hello.

Hey.

Oh! Hi.

- It's been a while. - Yes.

How's the work in the new department?

It's fun.

It's worthwhile to construct a building for people.

I was so sad when you said you would transfer to another department.

I'm so glad that you like working there.

I know that a new Audit Team leader is assigned.

Your team will clear the deck.

You're right.

I'll work hard.

The recruit notice for the Flordia branch is up.

Have you applied?

Here's the food.

It looks much tastier today.

Isn't it a sumptuous feast?

After hearing he'd become president I wanted to cook it for him.

Enjoy it.

Amazing! It's super delicious.

You should open a restaurant near the company.

I'll visit every day.

If so, I can also be a president.

You're right.

What?

If Mom also becomes a president I feel left out.

The only thing you should do is assist your two presidents.

You got it?

Yes, sir. I'll work hard.

Nice.

- Enjoy it. - Thank you.

You're treating me differently when I become the president.

There are various ingredients.

It's to celebrate my promotion.

Should I look for where I'll open a restaurant?

- I'll look for a good place. - Really?

Hey.

You're not allowed to embezzle money at home.

What?

Don't steal money.

- Mom. Here you are. - Thank you.

You've changed.

I haven't changed at all.

You're a betrayer.

You're the one who needs to change.

- I can't be cutter than now. - What?

You still don't get it?

You still have no idea what's going on.

Mr. Shin Cha Il.

Who are you?

I'm Kim Si Hyun, and I'm working there.

You've captured a lot of corrupt people.

Let's capture a big one with me.

[Director of the Board of Audit and Inspection Kim Si Hyun]

[The Auditors]
