Arrest the criminal!
- Arrest them! - Arrest them!
A case of fraud and embezzlement occurred.
A union representative committed fraud against...
the union members working on a public housing project.
The project had been approved by the head,
so they're holding JU Construction responsible.
The damage amounts to 3.4 million dollars.
The full amount was withdrawn on December 27 of last year.
- Mr. Gu. - Yes?
Please tell us more about the public housing project.
Well...
It's a part of our social contribution project.
It's a reconstruction project for low-income families,
and...
And...
The project scale is small...
and only the residents who want to participate take part.
The advantage is that the project period is short.
The benefits are good, too.
You can get low-interest loans,
and there is a lot of support from the company.
Yes, that's right.
So did they embezzle 3.4 million dollars of loan?
How can a project with a union cost only 3.4 million dollars?
JU Construction takes on projects worth over 100 million dollars.
To the union members, it's their entire fortune.
Let's start auditing.
We should catch the union representative...
who broke the trust and stole the hope of the union members.
Isn't that the police's job?
We'll first interview...
the head of the Housing Team who approved the project.
Okay.

(Name: Yu Mi Kyung)
Mr. Shin.
Ms. Yu is here.
I'm the Audit Team's manager, Shin Cha Il.
Please consent to an interview.
Cha Il...
(The Auditors)
An issue occurred with the public housing project...
which was pushed forward in January last year.
The union members are claiming the project funds disappeared...
and suspect a relationship between you and the union rep.
The union rep...
came to the office...
with a business plan that was stamped...
by the members.
There was no reason not to approve the withdrawal...
since they were entrusted by the union with the stamp.
That business plan was fake.
You didn't review it properly.
I was swamped that day with approving each division.
That's an excuse.
I had no idea it would turn out this way.
I know those people struggle with their finances.
They were fooled by the union rep.
How have you been, Cha Il?
- I was terribly worried. - Ms. Yu.
This is an interview on embezzlement.
I can't do it anymore.
Let's postpone it.
(Name: Yu Mi Kyung)
(Education: Sunghan University, Architecture, BA)
Mr. Shin and Ms. Yu majored in architecture...
at the same university.
Mr. Shin is two years older than her.
My hunch tells me that the two...
either dated...
or had something going on.
Your hunch is not like before, Ms. Ok.
If everyone in the same major and university dated,
I should've dated Myung Sun from Marketing.
You all saw it earlier, right?
The moment Ms. Yu saw Mr. Shin,
she called out his name and teared up.
Hold on. If Ms. Yu cried,
it must've been Mr. Shin who broke it off.
I knew it.
- That... - Ms. Yu is married.
Isn't this silly talk bad manners?
We're just having a little chitchat, aren't we?
It's this kind of chitchat that causes rumors.
And rumors are like vicious comments.
She's right. You went too far, Mr. Gu.
- What? - Don't spread rumors.
- I did? - Mr. Gu.
Stop starting rumors.
Please come to the next interview.
Mr. Shin. By any chance, are you going to the public housing?
- Yes. - May I tag along?
I'll be of help. I know that area well.
Look into Ms. Yu's company credit card details.
Understood.
Good grief. Mr. Shin sure is amazing.
School and regional connections, as well as past lovers.
He cares about none of them.
Gosh, what an honorable man.
He's simply cold-hearted.
It's nothing you should look up to. Seriously.
Good grief.
(JU Construction)
You have two options.
One, deny you didn't do so.
Two, admit doing so and apologize.
If you choose option one,
I'll play CCTV footage of you burning the laptop.
- I apologize. - JU Construction is...
working properly at last.
(JU Construction)
- Hi. - Hi.
Hey, Mr. Shin.
(JU Construction)
I need to pay some condolence money.
But with my cut salary, I'm short of money.
Lend me some, will you?
That was a joke, yes? It was funny.
Ha...
That son of a...
- Is this the area? - Yes.
A total of 17 houses,
8 detached houses and 9 multiplex houses,
participated in the public housing development project.
The houses need to be redeveloped quickly.
Hold on. Is that you, Seo Jin?
Sir.
Have you been well?
How long has this been?
Is your mom well?
- Of course. - Good gracious.
Long time no see, Min Hee and Min Seok.
- Hi. - Hi.
- He's our Audit Team Manager. - Oh, gosh.
Where's the union rep's house?
(JU Public Housing Development Project)
(Dream Mountain Alpine Club)
How do you know that elder?
You see, even the police dropped by...
the union rep's house.
It looked like they'd catch him fast.
But it's been two months, and we haven't heard a word.
That's why the people rushed to the company.
How do you know the union rep?
We've been neighbors for ten years.
It's the housing promotional flyer the union rep handed out.
I signed the paper because he said...
I'd be able to live in such a dreamy house.
Is there evidence the union rep withdrew the money?
The police showed me this...
when I grilled them about it.
I recorded it to show to the union members.
Right here. This bag contains 3.4 million dollars.
How did you conclude that Ms. Yu Mi Kyung worked together...
with the union rep?
Isn't it obvious? He withdrew the money because...
that woman approved it, no?
That wasn't what Mr. Shin meant, sir.
If they worked together,
Ms. Yu shouldn't be coming to work.
Only then does your conclusion make sense.
It's because the bank account was accessible...
that our money got stolen.
We're about to lose all of our hard-earned money.
Until the union rep gets arrested,
even that woman is a thief from our standpoint.
You're not enjoying that fishcake bar, are you?
I don't get why fishcake bars are made this salty.
I have high blood pressure, you know?
And how can I possibly have an appetite...
when Mr. Seo has been fired?
It's at a time like this you should eat good food.
Seriously.
Shall I make it taste better?
How?
(Funeral Hall Entrance)
- What is it? - I have high-level information.
Remember the commotion this morning?
Apparently, it's connected to the approval by Ms. Yu Mi Kyung...
- from the Housing Team. - Get to the point.
All right.
Ms. Yu and that Shin Cha Il attended the same university.
They used to be a thing.
Rumor has it that the two used to date.
(Funeral Hall)
Really.
MOLIT must indeed be scary.
Even so, you didn't have to attend...
the funeral of the Vice-Minister's grandma.
- How much did you pay? - Fifty dollars.
You're joking, right?
Don't you know the Civil Servant's Improper Solicitation and Graft Act?
But Hwang Gun Woong never went this far.
(Jang Hye Eun, Kim Min Woo, Hwang Dae Woong)
Oh, my. If it isn't Vice President Hwang.
You're heartbroken. It's only right of me to come.
Thank you.
The construction is going well, yes?
And the tower crane incident has been settled, yes?
Yes, sort of.
- Grandpa! - Hey.
I hope such accidents don't happen...
in the world my grandson lives in.
Gosh.
He'll live without worrying about money.
There won't be any accidents whatsoever.
How about some pocket money?
Thank you.
Here. This way.
(Audit Team Junior Manager Ok A Jung)
- This is Shin Cha Il. - It's me, Ok A Jung.
I looked into Ms. Yu's company credit card details.
She only used the card for company get-togethers.
Just in case, I also interviewed the Housing Team members.
All of them stated the union rep stabbed Ms. Yu in the back.
Understood.
What happens if even Ms. Yu turns out to be deceived?
She's still responsible.
Responsible for approving a flawed project.
Does Ms. Yu have to make up for all 3.4 million dollars?
If it wasn't deliberate embezzlement,
JU Construction will compensate.
But she must be disciplined.
And get sued if necessary.
Please park the car for me. Then go home.
Sorry?
What...
Aren't you curious about what Mr. Shin's interview is like?
I think Mr. Shin will catch us doing this.
Then we'll just tell him we're grabbing a cocktail together.
What do you want?
I feel like I can finally breathe.
How have you been?
I am conducting an interview right now.
How did you and the union rep meet?
I haven't been doing that great.
This isn't a personal conversation.
How did you and the union rep meet?
He...
called me to inquire about...
the public housing maintenance project.
We were struggling to meet the quarterly quota,
so we moved ahead with it.
When did you find out that he had withdrawn the money?
The police informed me about it,
so I went to the police station that day.
I was frazzled because I was in utter shock,
but I told them everything I knew hoping I could be of help to them.
About the union rep...
Did you ever meet him in private?
Why would I meet him in private?
Cha Il, are you suspecting me now?
Did you ever meet him in private?
You know, I was happy and excited to see you again earlier.
Can't you treat me like you used to, even for just a few minutes?
Are you struggling financially?
What if I am?
Do you think I embezzled the money?
I know you've requested a transfer to the branch office in Florida.
I...
got a divorce,
so I wanted to just let it all go and leave.
You, of all people...
I really didn't want you to see any of this.
My gosh. She's crying again.
Mr. Shin made her cry again.
Isn't it illegal to conduct such a coercive audit?
I think it's more illegal to watch them in secret like this.
That's true.
Thank you for walking me here.
I...
will take responsibility for my mistake.
I will not avoid it.
So, let's talk about you now.
How did you end up joining the Audit Team?
Do you know that you've changed so much?
Back in college, you weren't scary at all.
You were sweet, caring,
and cool.
We'll perform a forensic analysis on your computer tomorrow.
My gosh.
Well, did you see that?
Can you believe it?
I didn't think Mr. Shin would blur the line...
between work and personal.
I think he's just taking her home because she's hurt.
No, there was definitely something.
You're drunk. Let's go.
No, I'm not drunk.
I'll wait here until I see him leave.
Well, I'm off.
What?
Cha Il.
We had so much fun together back in college.
Use a 30-degree blade for precise cutting.
It also helps you make detailed cuts.
Cha Il, why did you decide to major in Architecture?
To help my father with his business.
Don't use super glue...
because it can melt woodrock.
For me, it was because I wanted to live a life like a fairy tale.
To build a village and a house that you'd see in a fairy tale...
and meet a fairy-tale prince.
Two hundred thousand dollars per house?
Our old house in Yanghui-dong is involved in a redevelopment scam?
Yes.
Had we not moved, we would've fallen for the scam too.
If Dae Woong hadn't gotten us this house, that is.
Dae Woong never finishes his food these days and seems irritable.
Is something going on at work?
So, what do you think of your new manager?
Is he stressing you out?
My gosh. 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.
If anyone ever stresses you out at work,
tell me right away.
I'll teach them a lesson.
All right, there.
It's done. Is there anything else you need fixed?
Tell me so I can fix them all while I'm here.

Oh, boy. Han Soo.
Han Soo!
My gosh!
- Don't you have to go to work? - What time is it now?
Goodness. Way to go. Oh, boy.
No way.
Mr. Shin Cha Il!
You said the interview came first.
But it turns out that romance comes first.
Stiff and rigid.
When you were dealing with Foreman Bae,
you were like a stiff robot.
But with Ms. Yu...
Smooth and soft.
Yes, you're...
such a softie. Right?
To me, you were like...
"You trust people too much."
"Get out at once!" You said that to me.
Oh, gosh. How could you do this after saying that to me?
Mr. Shin Cha Il!
You're a romantic after all.
But can't you...
love me too?
Please.
Hey, Han Soo. Why the long face when we're just starting our day?
It's part of your job to always keep a smile on.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hi.

Hello. Is Mr. Shin not here yet?
He's meeting with the Ethics Committee.
Why?
Check the forum.
Hurry up and read it.
(JU Construction, Anonymous Forum)
(Reporting Audit Team Manager Shin Cha Il for sexual harassment)
- What? - What is this?
Is this true?
Earlier this morning, Ms. Yu Mi Kyung called...
and said you forced her to drink last night,
using the interview as an excuse.
She also said...
you followed her into her home and sexually harassed her...
and that you would've raped her...
had she not managed to sober up.
She's in utter shock and is hospitalized at the moment.
What's there to discuss?
It's a clear case of sexual harassment.
I guess you still have feelings for your ex when she's moved on.
Is this true?
- No, it is not. - Of course, you'll play dumb.
But there are pictures, you see.
You're mulling over this?
Ms. Cho, is this something to mull over?
If we fail to get this sorted out internally,
and if she decides to take legal action,
the company's public image will be ruined.
The pictures are sufficient as evidence.
Agreed.
If we can't get it sorted out by next week,
Ms. Yu will be transferred to the branch office in Florida.
Sort it out before then.
What was that?
That's not right.
Ms. Yu is being audited.
She must be watched.
Get back to work.
Darn it.
Don't you think it's weird?
We saw them together yesterday.
Mr. Shin and sexual assault? It just feels...
I can't believe it.
I cautiously suggest...
- there was a misunderstanding. - Right?
What misunderstanding?
Normal-looking people tend to have dirtier minds,
you bunch of naive office workers.
Get back to work.
(You said you'd wait and talk to Mr. Shin.)
(New message from Yoon Seo Jin)
You said you'd wait and talk to Mr. Shin.
Don't you know what happened?
(All I learned is...)
All I learned is that you shouldn't mix cocktails with beer.
I don't remember anything.
Mr. Gu, come to the basement parking level with Ms. Yoon.
Seo Jin.
Mr. Shin wants to see us downstairs.
Did you see anyone suspicious as you followed me yesterday?
Well...
I didn't.
And you, Ms. Yoon?
I didn't either.
I'm sorry.
Try harder to hide if you're following someone.
If I were an embezzler, you messed up badly.
I will start looking for whoever took the photos.
They'll be Ms. Yu's accomplice, right?
That's very likely.
I'm really sorry about last night,
I need your explanation to understand...
the nature of your relationship.
We were just classmates.
"The Ministry of Employment and Labor will get involved..."
"to thoroughly investigate workplace sexual assault..."
"when the company fails to do so."
If this gets out, we'll go down for sexual assault.
Why must we take that risk?
Who is he?
Mr. Shin will handle that issue.
Focus on your own job.
The thing is...
I can't get my job done because that jerk keeps getting on my nerves.
It's me, isn't it?
You brought him in to get rid of me, didn't you?
(President Hwang Se Woong)
Get out.
Unlike...
the spoiled young masters,
my father beat me as I was growing up.
I'm dead quick to catch on.
You're taking a risk.
If you want to...
keep your position even just a little longer,
I suggest you fire that scumbag first.
The angle tells me the photographer was stationary.
The reflected lights say...
it was taken from inside a car.
I think this is the spot.
We should find the car that was parked here last night.
We can check nearby CCTV cameras.
Mr. Shin.
What's a sexual assaulter doing outside the victim's place?
Who are you?
The husband of this man's victim last night.
I think you're mistaken.
Right. Our manager's not that kind of guy.
Can you kids keep your mouths shut?
Did you take the photos?
Yes, I did.
Did you plan this with Ms. Yu?
I see you're quite imaginative.
I have just one goal.
To get you fired from my wife's job.
I filmed you too, so stay away.
Ms. Yoon. Go to the hospital and interview Ms. Yu.
Cho Kyung Soo from the Ethics Committee...
- will know where it is. - Okay.
I'll come with you.
Ms. Yu's husband might be there.
Ms. Yu told me she was divorced.
Then was that guy...
her ex-husband?
Ms. Yu's doing a lot of things to confuse the audit.
Look into the facts and report back.
Okay.
Call when you're free.
I need to make a call.
Okay.
You think there was no sexual assault,
and her ex-husband took the photos?
Ms. Yu's divorced?
Okay, got it.
Take care, kiddo.
(Vice President Hwang Dae Woong)
Hello, how are you?
When was business ever good?
Didn't your company,
The Myeong Construction, work on a housing development project?
Hey, stop. Wait.
- What's this? - Undersecretary Ahn.
He signs off on all the repairs and permits of heavy machinery.
Lose the game to him...
and give him the clubs saying they're not for you.
We fought, but we still run a company together.
Why would I give him...
clubs I played with?
That's how you don't get caught.
These are worth 30 grand and almost brand new.
You gave him just 50 dollars at the funeral.
He thinks that's the fare to the golf course.
He'll expect another actual gift.
We don't do that anymore.
Tick him off and he'll say our machines are defective.
He did that once before and it messed us up bad.
Time are changing...
Darn it!
The times?
They definitely are changing.
But...
in our lifetime, sewage will only become muddy water.
That's the point.
No, but you said they dated. That they were together.
Where did the sexual harassment come from?
Ms. Yu had been having a rough time.
And Shin Cha Il is a manager now.
So he tried to use his title and power...
to hit on his old girlfriend,
but Ms. Yu's married.
"Are you kidding me? No way."
Mr. Shin went, "Hey!"
"Can't I still love you?"
That's what happened.
I'll tell the vice president.
Are you sure of this? You must be.
You're definitely sure, right?
Go and report.
See you.
Mr. Shin.
Why are you here?
What are you doing?
Ms. Yu is not in.
My team has the authority to do this.
Apologize.
To Ms. Yu, and to us too.
You're insulting our whole team.
I won't be apologizing.
Then explain yourself!
You sexually assaulted Ms. Yu.
He's right. You must apologize to Ms. Yu.
Put her stuff down and leave!
- Explain yourself! - What is going on?
What a mess.
Did the employees at the head office form a union?
How pathetic.
No wonder the Housing Team is underperforming.
Do your work.
Get back to work!
You were stalked?
I got a divorce because he was too obsessive,
but he still followed me around.
I tried reporting him, but it was no use.
He must have waited for me in front of my place yesterday.
As soon as Mr. Shin left, he demanded to know who it was.
I told him Mr. Shin was a colleague,
and he was set on stopping me from going to work.
He threatened to kill me if I didn't listen to him.
The whole company thinks Mr. Shin sexually harassed you.
Please tell him I'm very sorry.
I'll disclose the truth soon.

Come in.
(JU Construction)
Mr. Hwang.
You've heard of Mr. Shin's sexual harassment case, right?
He knew Ms. Yu was in a bind...
and tried to abuse his power...
for his own gain.
Ms. Yu is married, so she probably tried to stop him,
but Mr. Shin is still a man although it's hard to believe.
He probably tried to persuade her since they dated in the past.
I'm certain that is what happened.
You know,
I thought it was cliched...
to swing golf clubs in the office.
- Are you going to play golf? - But there's nothing as good.
Pardon? Me?
You'll find out after a hit.
(Yu Mi Kyung)
Shin Cha Il speaking.
Hello, Mr. Shin.
We just finished our interview with Ms. Yu.
She's being stalked by her ex-husband.
She had no choice because she was threatened.
She wanted to apologize to you.
It's a means to distract the auditing process.
There's no reason for Ms. Yu to go that far.
Anyone would do that if they intend to embezzle money.
It starts with abusing trust.
You can clock out now.
- Ms. Ok. - Yes?
Can you find out some information on Ms. Yu's husband?
Yes, it's possible.
(Audit Team Manager Shin Cha Il)
Let's talk a bit more.
We'll interview you some more tomorrow.
Not about that. I mean about us.
Cha Il.
Are you still single?
Why did you let him leave?
I'm coming up.
If she lied about everything like Mr. Shin said,
that means Ms. Yu worked with her ex-husband on it.
Then what about the union rep?
Maybe the three are accomplices.
What?
We don't know the whereabouts of the union rep right now.
It's likely that they have the money.
But the problem is,
there can't be that much trust between Ms. Yu and the union rep.
We should look into the relationship between her ex-husband and the rep.
I see.
If there are three accomplices,
it will really shock me.
How can you work in this team if such a thing shocks you?
People kill for money.
That's true.
I'll get going.
Bye.
- Bye. - Thank you.
- That was so good. - It really was.
(Yes! Chicken)
Are you home?
- Did you have a busy day? - Yes.
Did something happen at work?
- No. - Is my son home?
- Mom. Dad. - Yes?
The head of the Housing Team is under suspicion...
of embezzlement, so we're auditing her.
How dare she!
What kind of people embezzle money?
I hear they abuse trust.
How much do they abuse this trust?
Ask your dad. He would know.
I never embezzled money.
I know you're always pocketing money from the till.
I don't know where the till is.
- Han Soo. - Yes?
People who can lie shamelessly are those who embezzle.
You need to take action...
- for them to speak the truth. - Ma'am.
Who took you on his back when you fell at the company picnic?
Everyone found out we were dating,
and we ended up marrying.
Please remember that day.
- Gosh. - That day.
Gosh. He's impossible.

Come in.
Did you benefit from the valuable information I gave you?
Gosh. What is this?
Gosh.
I looked through Ms. Yu's browsing history,
and there was an alpine club called Dream Mountain.
She's a member of the club.
The union rep had climbing equipment and the club's ribbon.
They're likely members of the same alpine club.
Maybe that was where they met...
to scheme the embezzlement.
That is what we're going to check with the club's president.
Would the alpine club president know about it?
Even if he does, will he talk?

But I don't know them well.

That's because we stood side by side.

In order to buy a house,
this couple put off their wedding for ten years.
But because of the loss due to embezzlement,
they're about to break off their engagement.
These union members planned to build a wheelchair-accessible house...
for a man paralyzed by a spinal injury.
But they got conned.
This elder. With the death benefit of his son and daughter-in-law,
he's living with his grandchildren...
Enough. That's enough.
You'll be sentenced to jail for three years...
or to pay a fine of 5,000 dollars for sheltering a criminal.

But it went down.
He was going to put it behind him through hiking.

asking if Ms. Yu was showing up at our club.
Why would he ask that right now?
So I told him to turn himself in.
As his friend, I couldn't report him to the police.
No. I've never seen him.

Give me back my money! Give it back!
- That scumbag! - Where's my money?
- Give me back my money! - Good grief.
Oh, my.
Thank you for catching the union rep.
We'll be able to get our money back, right?
What?
You'll get it back after we question him.
Is that so? Is she right?
Yes, you will get it back.
Everyone! They said we would get our money back!
- Thank you! - That's great!
Give them a round of applause!
Great job. We'll get our money back.
- Goodness. - Thank you.
(Dosam Police Station)
He's pleading the Fifth.
He won't talk at all.
At this rate, finding the money will be hard.
(Seoul Dosam Police Station)
Mr. Shin.
Goodness.
Did you find our money?
The investigation will take longer.
Wait at home.
What? Could he have used all the money?
- My goodness gracious. - Sir.
Oh, no.
Good grief.
That money is the death benefit from the car accident...
Min Seok's mom and dad were in.
I shouldn't have been greedy.
You'll surely get the money back.
She's right. Don't worry, sir.
Goodness.
The people who embezzle.
They're...
really the worst.
If the union rep doesn't talk,
we must stop Ms. Yu from coming to work.
Why aren't you in bed?
Are you going somewhere?
The puppy is alone. We must go feed it.
You mean the puppy at the union rep's house?
Gosh. You're so kind, Min Hee.
I protected it.
A scary guy was going to take...
Who was that scary guy?
It's okay.
But the guy told us not to tell anyone.
I'll protect you two, so don't worry.
I will, too. Okay?
Did you meet a guy while feeding the puppy at that house?
A guy not from this neighbor?
I have a photo of him.
By any chance, was it him?
(Audit Team Gu Han Soo)
This is Shin Cha Il.
(JU Construction)
Great work until now, Ms. Yu.
Thank you.
You all had it tough,
trusting and working with the incompetent me.
Wherever I am, I'll remember you always.
I love the Housing Team.
- We love you, Ms. Yu. - We love you, Ms. Yu.
Don't forget us even when you're in the US.
That's right. Don't ever forget us.
Why don't we all visit?
- Yes, let's. - That's a great idea.
Please consent to an interview.
Come to my office.
Mr. Shin.
I leave today.
I'll wrap things up nicely. Don't worry too much.
- Okay. - Bye.
- Must he do this on her last day? - That's too much.
I'd like to cooperate as best I can,
but my flight leaves soon. Please keep this short.
Are you aware the union rep was arrested?
The union rep was arrested?
That's great.
I felt terrible that I had to leave alone.
Did you recover the money?
We didn't.
Because your husband has it.
Cha Il. Not this again.
The union rep gave a statement.
He's a fraud.
Do you believe that man?
You met the union rep at an alpine club...
and suggested you two embezzle the project funds.
The union rep agreed as he wanted to get back on his feet,
and with your approval, he withdrew...
the 3.4 million dollars that had been collected.
Then you two headed to a bar to celebrate.
The union rep returned home...
only to realize the money was gone.
Are you sure you left it here?
Yes, I'm sure. I don't understand.
You're not lying, are you?
To steal my share.
What? Steal your share?
You said the 50-dollar bills were counted and sealed.
That the serial numbers could be traced.
Why would I steal...
How could I steal money like that?
Go into hiding until I call you.
I must hide?
We must find the cash.
You know everything leads to you, right?
Don't do anything stupid.
That cash.
Your ex-husband took it.
The union rep gave a statement when he realized that.
Ms. Yu flies to the US tomorrow.
Her husband will soon follow.
If you don't say anything,
you'll end up taking the fall, Mr. Oh.
The husband I divorced...
took the money?
The fake divorce was for show.
You copied what happened...
at The Myeong Construction where Kang Myung Chul works at.
The Myeong Construction covered up their employee's corruption,
and you thought JU Construction would do the same.
Where did you get that idea?
He had nothing to do with this.
There are witnesses.
Someone saw Kang Myung Chul take the bag of cash.
If you say you saw me,
I'll take that dog.
Okay?
They said he wore a black cap with the letter K.
That baseball cap.
Didn't your husband wear it often?
Ms. Yu.
We have a statement and witnesses.
Give up and return the money.
Without that money...
The residents will really struggle.
Please, Ms. Yu.
Housing Team head Yu Mi Kyung colluded with the union rep...
and embezzled funds for the public housing development.
You fabricated a scandal to delay the audit to catch your flight...
and tried and failed to cloud things with a fake stalker story.
The airport...
I must go to the airport.
I have a flight to catch.
Your transfer to the Florida office will be canceled.
You have two options.
One, admit what you did and turn yourself in.
Two, keep denying and increase your sentence.
I advise you to choose option one...
and atone for your teammates whom you say you love.
So that...
they suffer less.
I'll report to the president.
Be prepared to answer questions from the police.
I'll report the outcome of the housing project embezzlement.
Ms. Yu.
Help us recover the money, and I'll petition for lenience.
Me too.
You can bargain for a lesser sentence if you help.
Ms. Yu, come with me.
What's going on?
The interview's not over. She must stay.
Be quiet. It's the vice president's order.
Come on, Ms. Yu.
Hurry up.
Did Mr. Shin rub off on you? Why don't you know your place?
The vice president will deal with Ms. Yu.
From now on, you report to him instead.
Go do your duty.
Why did you...
make that call?
I heard all about it from The Myeong Construction's CEO.
Did you set it up thinking we'd turn a blind eye too?
You can relax.
Do as I say,
and you'll get what you want.
You beat him at golf...
and didn't give him the clubs?
What were you thinking?
The undersecretary is well ticked off.
He'll carry out a special inspection of the machines at the Inpo site.
With extra specifications on structural safety.
If he does that,
we must stop building altogether.
It'll threaten your lofty position.
I'm meeting the undersecretary for dinner tomorrow.
Ms. Yu's case.
See,
one wrong move, and we might end up taking the fall.
Do as I say.
(JU Construction)
- Hey. - Sir.
I got Ms. Yu out of the Audit Team office.
Take her to the airport.
Sir. We're sure Ms. Yu stole from the company.
- Be quiet. - You have the wrong information.
I said be quiet. You don't know anything.
Ms. Yu.
Come on. Get in.
This is Shin Cha Il.
Mr. Yang took Ms. Yu to the airport.
He said it was the vice president's order.
Are we going to let her go?
Why didn't you come to report to me?
(Audit Team Gu Han Soo, Mute)
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.
I know those people struggle with their finances.
They were fooled by the union rep.
We don't need a new house now.
Please just get our money back.
(Unmute)
Mr. Gu.
Yes.
That's it.
You're Audit Team Manager Shin Cha Il who fights for justice,
but now I'm your direct superior.
You know what happens...
if you disobey, don't you?
Stop Ms. Yu...
from going to the airport.
Do whatever it takes to stop her.
Yes, sir.
Shin Cha Il.
You're fired.
(The Auditors)
(Special thanks to Jung Dong Hwan, Hong Soo Hyun, and Lee Shin Ki)
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.
Mr. Shin, what do you think of the vice president?
Do you think JU Construction needs him?
Tell us where the money is before you face more embarrassment.
- What the... - Mr. Kang, hand over the money.
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.
I'll do my best to show everyone...
that it's a grave sin to betray someone's trust.
