Noodles with yeolmu kimchi?
Why didn't you throw the kimchi out like I told you to?
I forgot.
It's annoyingly ripe and delicious.
It's good.
Should we chuck it after today?
Let's do that.
I don't want to keep craving it.
-In-joo. -Yes?
I was suspended today.
For a month.
Why?
Because I drank on the job.
I think I'm an alcoholic.
What?
Then how come I didn't know?
I didn't want you to know.
Why not?
You and I know that our dad is an alcoholic.
That's why we were so miserable.
Do I…
take after Dad?
You don't take after him.
He's indecisive and weak-hearted,
but you know exactly what you want.
And your heart isn't just strong. It's hardened.
What do you mean by a hardened heart?
You're cold…
and full of yourself.
And do you think I'll let you end up becoming an alcoholic?
Tell me if you need anything!
I'll do everything to help!
We should definitely throw out this kimchi.
It's annoyingly good, right?
Do I really look like that?
It looks like my mom.
I like your nose.
It's like your mom's.
Really?
I got my nose done before taking my middle school graduation photos.
Did your mom get a nose job too?
She was born with that nose.
Sadly, I look like my uncle.
Who do you take after?
Nobody.
I really love your paintings.
It's like listening to an old story.
I painted it in Van Dyck's style.
I wanted to portray the bloodline of a distinguished noble family.
Do I seem noble?
Your mom and dad are nobles.
A billion and 970 million won. A billion and 975 million won.
A billion and 980 million won. A billion and 985 million won.
A billion and 990 million won. A billion and 995 million won.
Two billion won.
You asked me what I wanted to do if I had crazy amounts of money.
I don't know, Hwa-young.
I really don't know.
BUY 1, GET 1 FREE!
That'll be 98,800 won.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Cash receipt, please.
What I do know for sure is that
I would never kill myself if I had that much money.
Does that mean…
she didn't
actually kill herself?
Don't reporters usually start drinking in the afternoon?
You have a drink over lunch with your source.
Then you have another drink at sunset.
Then at night…
Bomb shots.
I didn't simply just have a drink.
I checked my blood alcohol level at 4 p.m. that afternoon.
It was at 0.08 percent.
A senior colleague reported me to the police,
so I lost my driver's license too.
My father began the day with a bowl full of makgeolli.
I also had a glass of whiskey before work every morning back in the States.
But you were a nurse.
That wasn't a problem 40 years ago,
as long as I did my job perfectly.
I couldn't do my job perfectly.
I couldn't ask impolite questions to strangers,
look straight into the camera without blinking,
or become indifferent to gruesome incidents.
I was always nervous and anxious.
I drank every time I was anxious.
By night, I found I had emptied a bottle of tequila.
Stop working as a reporter.
You already know that I never wanted to be a reporter.
You wanted to go abroad and study something useless.
You refused to give me a loan for the tuition, so I gave up.
I refused to give up your money, not mine.
That money was in a bank account under your name.
It wasn't my money.
You put the first five million won into the account.
And you taught a 12-year-old kid
how to trade stocks.
You were the one
who turned the 5 million won into 70 million over 10 years.
I've never seen anybody who trades stocks as easily as you did.
I just did it. I wasn't trying to be good at it.
I wanted to stop you from wasting your time studying.
What was it you wanted to study?
Economics.
I wanted to know why some are poor while others are rich.
It's useless.
If you continued to invest, you would've found out naturally.
But you became a reporter.
Now, you listen to me nag over breakfast just for a petty 1.25 million won.
I've been wondering.
I eat breakfast here to make 1.25 million won.
But why would you spend 1.25 million won just to have breakfast with me?
Are you afraid
you'll be alone until you die?
I know I hurt you.
But I was hurt too.
I made you an offer to come work for me after you graduated.
But you never gave it serious consideration.
Do you think I invested in you without any purpose?
You're suspended anyway, so come by my office.
I'll make sure to show you how one becomes rich in Korea.
You made a wise decision.
That's what's best for yourself and the company.
You already know every company in Korea keeps a slush fund.
What do I have to do?
I don't know anything regarding that matter.
We are looking for two things.
The 70 billion won Ms. Jin embezzled and the slush fund ledger.
We have experts who will track those down,
but to do their job, they need to know a lot about her.
Think of yourself as that thieving bitch,
and think about where you would hide the money
and what you would do with the ledger.
Be as imaginative as you can. I'll compensate you generously.
I think I might be able to do a good job.
But I have a few requests.
First, I don't want to return to the office.
I'll work somewhere else.
The International Orchid Society?
You said our CEO is the chairman there, right?
I'll take what you'll need there.
Second.
Please don't call the deceased a thieving bitch.
What else would I call her?
If Hwa-young really committed the crime,
of course it would leave you feeling awful.
But if you keep calling her a thieving bitch,
I feel like you'll tell people I'm a thieving bitch's friend.
From where I stand, I still can't believe Hwa-young did something like that.
I'll start to find the evidence of her embezzlement
and slowly try to believe it.
Come to think about it, Ms. Oh,
there are similarities between you and Ms. Jin.
I've been meaning to ask for a while.
Where do you get heels like those?
Sorry?
Cheap heels like these are made with glue, so the heels break off easily.
That's how you hurt your Achilles tendon.
The balance is off, so it must hurt after a short walk,
and you feel uneasy
since you can't trust your shoes.
Buy a nice pair with the money we give you.
If you don't, you'll end up dragging your feet around for life.
Do you get what I'm saying?
We have webfoot octopuses today. Get some webfoot octopuses.
A special on webfoot octopuses. Only 30,000 won for 1kg, ma'am.
Get 5 abalones for 10,000 won! Pick up some abalones, ma'am!
This is Kim speaking from the seafood corner at P Mart.
Hello, I'm Reporter Oh In-kyung with OBN.
Are you the nephew of Mr. Kim Dal-su of Bobae Savings Bank?
You sent me an email four years ago.
It was a tip about Mr. Kim Dal-su's suicide.
I'd like to meet with you and discuss the incident…
Oh In-kyung.
Where are you going?
These are totally fresh. They're so fresh to the point
they're almost sexy.
Try it. They're different from produce kept in fridges.
I'm proud of you.
You used to cry in the corner of the yard for your mom,
but you now grow vegetables and make meals by yourself.
Hey, my mom had cancer back then.
And you're talking as if you never cried.
I remember you
getting upset and crying when you got expelled.
Goodness, In-kyung. Long time no see.
Oh, my. You're a grown woman now.
Have you been well, sir? You seem healthy.
I do? Thanks.
If I had known you were here, I would've gone up to say hi.
-Will you eat here? -Yes, sure.
Gosh, why can't you take a hint?
Was it when you two were ten?
Jong-ho skipped school saying his back hurt,
and In-kyung got kicked out of school for punching a teacher.
-I didn't hit the teacher. I threw a rock. -What?
She had anger management issues when she was a kid.
Really?
It rained a lot that day,
and In-kyung sat by the window and said this.
"The rain reminds me of the flow of money."
"In the end, money also flows through familiar paths."
Hey, you were really peculiar.
I read the prices for stocks and futures to my great-aunt every morning.
No matter what I saw, everything reminded me of the charts.
Look how In-kyung became a proper grown-up and does her part in society.
Why? Do I seem pathetic?
Grandpa, I have a herniated disc. That's why I took time off from school.
INCOMING CALL
Oh In-kyung with OBN.
Why didn't you report it back then? I waited so long for you to do so.
I'm sorry.
At the time, I had no evidence
of Park Jae-sang's involvement in the suicide.
I also wasn't familiar with his character.
Do you now know what he's like?
In your personal opinion, what do you think he's like?
He's like a monster.
Write this down.
Go to 26 Gimtan-ri, Noma-myeon, Musim-gun, Gyeonggi Province.
Begin your coverage from there.
If you want more details, be at column C7
at the Sorae Fish Market auction by 4 a.m. tomorrow.
The letter C, number seven.
FISH MARKET COLUMN C7
I asked Ms. Jin's father not to touch anything.
Her laptop and phone underwent forensics.
She could've deleted something before she died.
Cockroach.
My gosh!
It's odd, isn't it?
Her house is filled with luxury goods,
yet there are also roaches on the floor.
She lived here with her mother until she passed away.
She wouldn't have wanted to move.
I set up your computer and files at the IOS.
Grab what you need.
I'd like to stay here for a while.
Take your time. I have to check my email.
I'd rather be here alone.
You can attend to your business, Mr. Choi.
Won't you be scared?
Hwa-young liked me.
I'm not scared.
I'm here, Hwa-young.
I'll do whatever it takes
to find out why you died.
YEAR 2021
What are receipts and ledgers to bookkeepers?
They're like the Bible.
Always keep them near and check them
whenever suspicion arises.
Everything begins here.
You taught me
where everything begins.
ORIENTAL ORCHID CARE
It's 1.23 million won.
1,230,000 WON, CREDIT CARD
Don't bring that kind of bag to work.
Doesn't it look real?
All knockoffs are obvious.
I was told it's a perfect replica. Look.
I don't care what you carry in your private life.
But don't bring it to work.
Bookkeepers need to look shabby to stop people from talking.
A bookkeeper must see money as just numbers,
like how a doctor sees a patient.
So what does it say about you if you carry knockoff bags?
It makes you look poor and obsessed with money.
How can a company trust a person like that with their money?
Then I can't do this.
I've always been obsessed with money and men.
That's why you need training.
Training?
For example,
like creating a second account in a video game.
Like how some celebrities perform under alter egos.
Is that why you always come to work in the same clothes?
And this is your alter ego?
Her gallery is filled
with only photos of goods and receipts.
It's like she has no face.
Is this…
somewhere abroad?
Where has she been to?
SELECT
Jin Mi-gyeong?
JIN MI-GYEONG
BOOKKEEPER FROM THE FUTURE
I found you.
Your second account.
"Bookkeeper from the Future."
Jin Mi-gyeong.
It looks as if she lives in Singapore,
and she looks carefree and rich.
Just who are you?
Hello, Ms. Alter Ego.
Nice to meet you. What took us so long to meet?
This might be the real me.
The alter ego might be Jin Hwa-young, who always wears the same clothes.
Jeez.
But I don't get it, Hwa-young.
Do we have to go that far as a bookkeeper?
Most bookkeepers will be obsolete in the future.
Then who'll survive?
Those who can read the stories numbers tell.
How did the company get here?
What are its risks and potentials?
How should we move forward?
Accounting software can never tell you those kinds of things.
Neither can I.
Calculate everything.
If things don't add up even after calculating multiple times,
it means something is up.
August 14th.
Hwa-young's birthday.
BERNIMO, SANTY, MALL
What's missing from that day?
They're about 260 million won in total.
She sold some and made cash,
and there are about 70 million won worth of new goods.
The company can collect them.
What would we do with them?
-You can sell them as used goods… -This room.
We gave 50 million won to Ms. Jin's father for the entire place.
All this expensive trash Ms. Jin bought with company money.
We bought it back for 50 million.
Why?
To recover a measly few million won?
Seventy billion won.
She has 70 billion won under her name somewhere in this world.
There was a photo she took in Singapore on her phone.
She's been there on a business trip.
I searched the image and found a Skygram account.
These photos…
weren't found on her laptop or phone.
She must've used another phone in Singapore.
She went there at least once or twice a month.
You said she had a flight booked to Singapore, right?
I did.
It may be possible
that she had been living in Singapore for a long time.
Send me the link to her account.
Once I find where she lived in Singapore,
I'll find her phone and whatever else.
Then…
Then I can find where the 70 billion is.
Ms. Oh.
Did you look at these heels?
What about the bags and clothes?
Were they nice?
Did you want them?
Her father has an apartment unit worth 700 million won.
I don't think this man ever made money in his life.
So how did he afford that?
This is what the company offered.
Ms. Jin's work was important and dangerous, so she deserved it.
But…
she should've stopped there.
What are you like, Ms. Oh?
I can give these all to you.
Your feet are between 230mm to 235mm, right?
They look smooth and you have thin ankles, so stilettos would suit you.
How about mules to show off your heels?
I'll send you something nice.
I always liked your cheap clothes, Ms. Oh.
So?
This company needs someone who is devoted and has pretty feet like you.
Since when has that orchid been there?
I think it's been here all along.
Why?
Damn it.
I've been wanting to go to the fish market.
Fish dishes are my expertise.
I lived in San Francisco for six months. Next to Fisherman's Wharf.
I could've called a cab.
It's dangerous to grab a cab at this hour.
See? This time of day is dangerous.
Did they doze off?
The driver must be seriously hurt too.
Let's begin. Shall we?
Anyone, make a bid.
Get your cuttlefish. 30,000 won. 50,000 won.
There's 60,000, 70,000 won. Sold for 70,000 won to 23.
Call me when you're done.
I'll get some fish.
-Sure. -I got 33,000 won. 35,000 won.
I see 70,000 won. And 80,000 won.
These are 12,000 won a kilogram, these are 14,000 won.
-I'll take two 14,000-won fish. -Then two it is.
How about the cod?
They're 25,000 won per box.
-I'll take those too. -Sure.
Your call cannot be connected. You will be redirected after the tone.
KIM CHEOL-SEONG, NEPHEW OF KIM DAL-SU
Jong-ho, let's go.
Where to? He didn't show?
We have to hurry.
Does he want to meet somewhere else?
Wait, excuse me.
She's an acquaintance.
-With the driver? -Yes.
Please step back.
OBN REPORTER OH IN-KYUNG
You're wearing our Velvet Orchid.
We brought in only three pairs. It's a rare collection.
They look great on you.
I received them as a gift on my birthday last year.
These came to my mind today, so I put them on.
Right. Because you choose heels depending on how you feel.
I'm sorry to ask,
but I had too much to drink on my birthday,
so I can't seem to remember who gave me these.
By any chance,
was he the one who bought these?
I want to return his kindness.
You're right. It's him.
I clearly remember.
He was the only one
who understood the balance of our shoes from one's head to the arch of the foot.
You're something too.
I had to quit my job and almost got divorced because of you.
So why did you ask me to meet you?
I was rash.
I'm sorry.
But now,
I just want to know the truth.
They were having an affair, no doubt.
If my affair was like a dessert,
for Hwa-young, it was more for her livelihood.
How do you know that?
Everything was evident on the ledger.
Jin Hwa-young and Director Shin
pocketed a huge amount of money as a team.
Then I looked at those two, and they were totally…
If you knew everything, why didn't you say anything?
The CEO has been hospitalized for four years.
Director Shin took charge as the next in line.
So why should I?
He was famous for his affairs.
He had an office wife at his former workplace too.
This is kind of awkward,
but Director Shin only goes for a certain type of woman.
What type is that?
Women who wear cheap heels.
Didn't Jin Hwa-young seem different from the other bookkeepers?
Director Shin hired her.
Is it because he's the son of a shoe repairman?
He hates elite women from wealthy families.
Right.
You know that Director Shin hired you too, right?
You asked me why I treated her like an outcast, didn't you?
I never treated her like an outcast.
We just live in different worlds.
FLOWER.YOUNG
HOW HIGH CAN SOMEONE FROM ROCK BOTTOM GO?
A penniless high school grad. No hopes of getting married.
I want to find hope now. How high can someone from rock bottom go?
But I wanted to live with a perfect face at least once.
From Monday to Friday, from early morning to 7 p.m.,
she was Team Leader Jin Hwa-young, who always wore the same clothes.
But after yoga at night,
when she studied English and software development…
When she ate at fine dining restaurants and went shopping,
and when she was in Singapore,
she was someone else, someone I didn't know.
And then…
I found a photo of her with someone else.
The tab wasn't in her file of receipts.
A man?
I realized there were photos of a meal without a receipt about once a month.
And…
These are her cherished heels.
She said she bought them on her birthday last year.
I couldn't find the receipt.
They were 4.3 million won.
Only three pairs came to Korea.
They must be from someone special.
It was Director Shin.
Were they having an affair?
Director Shin was supposed to go to Switzerland.
But he couldn't, so Hwa-young went instead.
I didn't suspect anything since I'd known her for a while.
The account number and password for the Swiss bank are 18 digits each.
It's impossible to memorize them all then and there.
But a few days later, Director Shin called.
He said Ms. Jin seemed odd so I should check the account.
The 70 billion won disappeared.
After she made an account under her name,
I gave her a lift to the airport.
But she didn't take the flight, went back to the bank,
and transferred the 70 billion.
If all of this was Director Shin's plan…
The final step would be
to kill Hwa-young.
Then Hwa-young takes the full blame,
while Director Shin is free forever.
It's also odd that she typed out her suicide note.
Isn't it usually hand-written?
But how could Director Shin have written these words?
The note is too realistic.
She had two Skygram accounts.
One as Hwa-young and one as Jin Mi-gyeong, Bookkeeper from the Future.
She put together the things she wrote on her Skygram account on the note.
Isn't that odd?
I'll see if her laptop and phone can undergo forensics again.
Come to think about it, they didn't share enough texts or calls.
Their work was closely related too.
Director Shin handled the forensics.
Don't worry about the orchids, Hwa-young.
I'll treat them like princesses.
I'll study hard to make them bloom too.
"In order to make the Princess bloom,
it needs a few days of cold mornings."
"Less than a week
when the outside temperature is over ten degrees."
"When it withers, it's a good idea to use aspirin."
"Refer to Hyang-sook's journal for the recipe."
YANG HYANG-SOOK
The problem is you.
Fraud. Embezzlement. Suicide. Murder.
And the two billion you gave me.
I still have no idea what's going on.
But if you truly died an unfair death,
then I must bring it to light.
We have CCTV cameras everywhere,
so you can see everyone who comes and goes.
I wasn't home that day, so I didn't see anything.
When was it again?
Last Wednesday, the 17th.
Okay.
Did it fail to record?
Why did it stop at that hour?
Someone stole it a few days ago.
Just the dashcam.
Well, I guess there was nothing else to take.
Odd, isn't it?
What? Wait.
What's with my car? What?
The brakes.
Brakes.
Is this sudden unintended acceleration?
About 95 percent of SUA accidents
are usually due to poor driving or poor maintenance.
You'll need to request an analysis from the National Forensic Service.
Thank you for calling and not forgetting.
This time, I'll put my trust in you, Ms. Oh.
Make a reservation at Genji for Thursday, 8 p.m.
-Put on Bruno Zumino stilettos. -Yes, sir.
Damn it, Hwa-young.
This is so wrong.
Wait.
Where are you? Pick up the phone.
I'm sorry. I'm at a meeting outside.
The prosecution put a travel ban on me.
Why?
Macau. Do you know anything?
No.
Did the prosecution call?
No.
If they call, play dumb, then tell me right away.
Delete all text messages. Reset your phone and the dashcam.
Keep the ledger safe just in case.
-Don't let them get to the safe. -Yes, sir.
Director Shin couldn't go to Europe
because he got banned from traveling.
I saw something in the deleted files.
GAMBLING
CASINO VIP ROOM GAMBLING VIDEO
I REPORT DIRECTOR SHIN HYEON-MIN OF ORCHID E&C
"I report Finance Director Shin Hyeon-min of Orchid E&C
-for illegal overseas gambling." -…for illegal overseas gambling,
smuggling foreign currency,
illegal currency exchange, and embezzlement.
It was Hwa-young who reported Director Shin to the prosecution.
She started collecting evidence on him four years ago.
She even had videos.
I guess Mr. Shin didn't know
Hwa-young was the one who reported him.
Pick up your phone.
You ratted on me to the prosecution.
You think I'm an idiot?
You think I wouldn't have found out?
I'm not going down alone. You're coming too.
We'll stand before reporters together,
so make sure you pick out your heels.
He found out
the day after she came back to Korea.
How did he know?
I'm sure it was anonymous.
He probably poked around. He has lots of connections.
Come out, you bitch!
I'm at your place. Pick up.
Do you remember what happened to Yang Hyang-sook?
I'll do the same to you before the police get here. Open the door.
Who is Yang Hyang-sook?
Yang Hyang-sook?
I've heard that name before.
She was in charge of the orchids from 1999 to 2011.
INTERNATIONAL ORCHID SOCIETY YANG HYANG-SOOK
ORCHID JOURNAL
YANG HYANG-SOOK, YEAR 2011
Reporter Oh In-kyung from OBN?
How did you know about this?
Do you know how much we suffered
after what you said about my father on TV?
How dare she come here?
-Mother. -Drag her out now.
-Get her out! -Come.
-Come out. -Hey.
-Drag her out now! -You have no right.
-Come out! -Mother, calm down.
-Let go of me! -Calm down!
-Let's go. -What's with you?
Hey! Come out!
-Calm down! -What are you doing?
Come out!
I'm sick of this! Come on!
Come out! How dare you come here?
Please!
CURRENT EVENTS DEPARTMENT REPORTER OH IN-KYUNG
I was supposed to meet your brother at 4 a.m. by column C7 at the fish market.
Nobody expected to find her like that.
A rotting, naked dead body was found
in her small, humble apartment unit a week after her death.
Her name was Yang Hyang-sook.
Yang, a woman in her thirties, was found dead
after her embezzlement charges from her workplace.
She was a bookkeeper at work.
She suddenly began spending excessively, such as buying luxury goods.
When the police closed in on her, she took her own life.
I've never seen such a thing.
She was completely naked with a fur coat over her body.
And she was wearing numerous necklaces and bracelets.
Also, she was wearing heels.
-My gosh. -Heels?
High heels. Red ones.
Everything is the same.
I'm sure Director Shin bought her those heels too.
YANG HYANG-SOOK, YEAR 2011
WONRYEONG CONSTRUCTION EMBEZZLEMENT CASE
Shin Hyeon-min was the director of Wonryeong
when Ms. Yang worked there.
He gets someone economically vulnerable without friends or families
involved in a huge embezzlement scheme,
then blames them for everything and makes them kill themselves.
How disgusting.
Hwa-young must have known
that one day, she could end up like Ms. Yang.
That's why she reported Director Shin.
He would've been arrested if she held out.
Let's report this to the police.
I can't do that.
Why not?
Because there isn't enough evidence? The MO is the same.
Then I can't find the 70 billion won.
The state is entitled to slush funds.
What are you talking about?
I came here to find the money, not to investigate a murder case.
Is that more important than someone's life?
People died. Two people.
I know that Ms. Jin would have shared my opinion.
She went to Switzerland to steal the 70 billion won.
She must've known what the risk was.
She was the most professional accountant I've ever seen.
I thought we could be friends.
Hwa-young told you that I'm the outcast of the 13th floor.
She's not someone who would share that with just anybody.
Hwa-young and I became friends
because we're similar.
People keep the thing they value most inside their hearts.
We valued the same thing.
Money.
That's why I know what Hwa-young would've done.
We have the same ethics.
What kind of ethics?
Nothing in this world…
is more sacred than money.
What does two billion won amount to?
An apartment unit that keeps my family cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Being able to send In-hye to an art academy and a university.
I wanted to get a new car for In-kyung too.
I wanted useless things.
I wanted the small luxuries I could afford if I didn't have to worry about money.
Also, Hwa-young…
Never being able to forget the image of you dead.
Covering up the cause of your death forever.
If all that amounts to two billion,
is that a good deal?
When I was young, I thought others were just like me.
I'm easily affected by people's emotions.
When I look at someone, their emotions slowly seep into me.
That's why news reporting was tough.
Mostly, I keep myself under control.
But when I read the note of the daughter of a family suicide case,
when I report on the death of a high school girl
who jumped into a fire to save her sister,
or on a child abused by their stepmother
who called out "Mom" as they were dying…
Is that why you drink?
I can control my tears.
But not my voice.
My trembling voice in front of the camera.
But it was okay when I had a drink. I could easily speak like a normal person.
What does that have to do with believing the informant was killed?
…was cleared of all charges in a retrial after 30 years.
An unexpected guest visited him today.
I'm sorry for coming so late.
When you were illegally tortured
and framed for espionage,
my father-in-law was the commander of the Defense Security Command.
What can you feel from him?
I'm not sure. Even if this was his father-in-law's fault,
it can't be easy to own up to it and apologize.
He seems brave.
What do you feel?
-Candidate Park Jae-sang stated… -He's creepily cold.
How so?
He's calculating his moves.
He knows that the weak old man has no choice but to accept his apology.
That people will love this moment.
If he sheds a few tears now, he'll be forgiven,
and his political career will take off after this.
Even if that's true,
politics is a show business anyway.
Someone who represents the era came out and apologized,
and the victim forgave him. Isn't that significant?
Are you saying he's a criminal just because of a hunch?
I know it doesn't make any sense. But I'm sure of this.
He's the culprit.
Have you always been this irrational?
Sometimes.
What's with that look?
Tell me how I feel about you right now.
You're worried. You're worried that I've gone crazy.
And?
Relaxed.
It's like watching TV in comfortable clothes
when you're with me, right?
And?
Are you mad at me?
Or do you have a fever?
"Easily affected by people's emotions"?
I almost fell for it.
What the heck? Why are you sitting here?
In-joo, did you rob a store?
Did you win a giveaway?
I…
quit my job.
What?
I bought those wondering if shopping would make me feel better.
Everything I've always wanted.
But still, who buys every single color of lip gloss?
I hate seeing you on TV without makeup.
It's for you and In-hye.
Each color has a different scent.
Isn't it nice?
I mean,
we have a comb at home.
This can detangle every knot in your hair.
What's this?
A car air freshener. It smells exquisite.
I told you my license was suspended.
What good would it do for a decade-old beat-up car?
It smells like decade-old dust,
sweat, and meal boxes you randomly eat in your car.
That's why I hate getting in your car.
Can't you at least let it smell nice?
What is this?
Hey, In-joo.
I'm sorry.
I think this smells nice.
I have no idea what to do, In-kyung.
I have no idea what to do.
Things look suspicious, but there's no evidence.
The company won't cooperate with the investigation.
Reporting to the police won't help, right?
No.
Surprisingly, dozens of people commit suicide every year
after they get caught embezzling company funds.
Most never even make the news.
Since it's too common?
Yes.
Evidence is essential.
But did you really get all this with your severance pay?
Or did you win the lottery?
Well…
Delivery.
In-hye left her phone here.
Hey, why can't I reach you?
I'll pick you up at the academy.
FROM SHIN HYEON-MIN TO OH IN-JOO
Hey. You even bought heels?

DONGHWA MEDIA INTERNATIONAL ART…
-Was I next? -What?
I was haunted by the image of Hwa-young after I found her like that.
And now, I see myself there.
The bookkeepers who embezzled and hung themselves.
Ms. Yang Hyang-sook and Hwa-young.
Was I next?
Hey.
I know you got suspicious of me and snooped, but no.
Yang Hyang-sook killed herself.
Read the autopsy report by the police. It had to be suicide.
Of course, if you ask me why she killed herself,
that's complicated.
Embezzlement is
an inevitable part of operating an enterprise,
and someone has to take responsibility.
Do you know
who first found Yang Hyang-sook?
Hwa-young?
Do you know what she said to me?
She wanted to do what Hyang-sook had been doing.
After Hyang-sook died, Hwa-young's eyes were opened.
She knew Hyang-sook had an easy job.
All of you must think
I was in some affair with her, but we really weren't.
She's seriously not my type. She only took advantage of me.
How could she have taken advantage of you?
She's the one who's dead!
She positioned herself cleverly.
Who would've thought?
That a girl who looked like
she couldn't speak a word of English, would have prepared so thoroughly
to make her own account in Switzerland?
That Hwa-young, who ran my money errands for 15 years, would do such a thing?
She prepared this for years?
Studying English and software development?
And followed me to Macau, Gangwon, and Singapore to get the evidence,
then reported me at the perfect time.
To go to Switzerland in my place.
Then why did she kill herself if she stole the 70 billion won?
I thought she killed herself too.
That she thought I reported her
and that she felt cornered like Yang Hyang-sook.
But what? Are you saying that's not true?
Jin Hwa-young didn't know
that there was something else to be scared of.
That there's someone high up above us.
I'll report you to the police.
Forget the police. I'm going to the prosecutor's office.
Go tell this to Choi Do-il.
Illegal overseas gambling, smuggling foreign currency,
illegal currency exchange, and embezzlement.
I'll take the full blame and get locked up for five years.
But don't go any further.
I'm not the type who goes down alone.
I knew a day like this would come,
so I kept a slush fund ledger for the last 25 years.
If he annoys me, I'll blow it up.
I'll do a press conference if I have to. Got it?
-Yes, Director Shin. -Prosecutor.
I'm on my way, but I haven't eaten.
Okay.
Could I have a bowl of noodles before we begin?
What?
The RPM.
What the hell?
Brakes. Brakes, damn it.
How would someone feel after losing 70 billion won?
Is that a threat?
Why are you lying there alone
in the dark forest?
It's my sister.
My dying sister.
Why are you so nice to me?
You're a small storm, Ms. Oh.
No matter where you go, you change the flow of the air.
There's something in his hand.
Something small and blue.
Can you do it too?
If you intend to take this money,
I'll turn you in.
I'll spend this money
and go to prison.
