FILING FOR LOVE

PLAYING WITH FIRE

FRIENDSHIP BEYOND PARTNERSHIP

James is an innovator who greatly advanced AI technology.

It took great effort to invite him.

FUTURE OF HAEMU'S TECH INNOVATION

Ms. Joo must be at work by now.

Let's avoid her as best I can today.

Mr. Noh, Good morning.

How come we meet right here?

It's a small company, isn't it?

It's your lucky day. I'll treat you to a coffee.

- No, I don't want... - What is it? An Americano? A latte?

Are you a die-hard iced Americano fan?

I am.

What?

How can she be so nonchalant?

She must've seen me.

Yes. I have to stay calm.

Act natural

like I always have.

That James guy.

He enjoys the spotlight too much.

I get that scouting him is your greatest achievement yet...

Let's focus on the sport.

That was a close miss.

You almost got the last one.

I'm getting so old, I can't even pull a trigger.

The shotgun is pretty hefty.

Shall we switch to a pistol?

Hitting a target is no fun.

There's no prey and it's still.

You're a true sniper at heart, Father.

The day you first took me hunting.

That's when I decided.

That I would be a good, obedient boy

because my father's scary.

You cheeky monkey.

Why don't you two have a shoot-off?

It's been a while since I watched.

- It must've been like war. - It was.

The staff got worried they would shoot each other.

It looks like the time has come to make up our minds

about which of the two we should root for.

Don't you think our fate

depends on who Ms. Joo sides with?

I don't think Ms. Joo will take sides.

She's straight as an arrow.

Mr. Ahn.

Yes, I'm coming, Ms. Joo.

How can I act like nothing happened? It's just not the same.

What kind of art studio has such flimsy security?

If they teach a class like that

shouldn't they at least lock the doors?

You're saying Haemu Electronics' Junior Engineer Lim Ha-kyong's case

will be investigated separately by the research center?

Yes, it's a simple case

so the center's HR department will investigate

and all we have to do is review the report.

We'll take this case.

- I'll come with you. - Okay.

No, wait, what?

You'll go and investigate yourself?

Yes, since the new CTO James Lockett joined

they renovated the interior to give it a Silicon Valley feel.

Let's take a day-trip to get some air and look around.

But I have a one-on-one meeting today.

Oh, do you?

In that case...

Who wants to go to the research center with me?

Teams One and Two are mostly at other subsidiaries

for the routine audit season, so they have no manpower to spare.

Yes, you're right.

Then who wants to with me from Team Three?

I've been under a lot of stress due to a chain of events

and my bowels are acting up. Sorry.

Oh, no. I must dash.

Any volunteers?

Jeez, this is driving me crazy.

All right.

I might as well face her head-on.

- So... - Isn't it a lovely day?

Yes, but Ms. Joo...

Shall we have some udon noodles at the rest area later?

There was one place with an awesome broth.

I think it was the rest area with trampolines for kids.

- Ms. Joo, about yesterday... - No! Don't talk.

I need to concentrate when I'm driving.

I can't multitask

so I can't drive if you talk.

Let's go in silence.

- Still, I... - I told you not to speak.

See? I almost missed the exit.

You do all the talking.

You charged 57,250 won on the company card

and have four strikes for poor attitude.

Read it slowly and carefully.

Okay.

LIM HA-KYONG

Who did you upset?

- Pardon? - You were obviously targeted.

The personal charges on your company card.

That happened too long ago to penalize you now.

Being five to ten minutes late?

You don't report someone to the head office

for poor work ethics for going to a bank.

Who did you mess with

that a junior engineer would become a target?

The Audit Team is an independent department.

You can speak freely, without any concerns.

Your secrets are safe with us.

Well, actually...

I wanted to meet you, Ms. Joo.

Ms. Joo, Ha-kyong...

Let's get it done quickly.

Let's sit.

Would you like to continue

what you were saying earlier?

What?

I have nothing else to say.

I'll just admit to all the wrongdoings.

Your coffees are here.

- Oh, great. - Thanks so much.

- A hot Americano, right? - Yes, thanks.

- Thank you. - Have a snack.

- Okay. - Thank you.

I shall try this one.

- That tastes really good. - It's the famous...

- Mr. Sung? - Yes?

When will you give me this quarter's expenditure list?

Hae-young.

Let us be. It's Children's Day.

- "Children's Day"? - When the Head of Audit's away.

When the Head of Audit is away.

- The world is ours for the taking. - The world is ours for the taking.

Since Ms. Joo's out, I plan to take the afternoon off.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

You saw what Ms. Yoon did.

She took this afternoon off then canceled it.

You shouldn't use paid time off when your boss is away.

That's the truth.

I see there's so much more for me to learn.

- When do you need that by? - Hello, everyone. Please excuse me.

What brings you here, Managing Director, sir?

Oh, well...

I should meet and greet our Audit Team.

You're pretty powerful people.

Where's the star, Ms. Joo In-a?

She's out of the office on business.

It shouldn't take long.

- She should be back today. - Is that so?

How about a team dinner when Ms. Joo returns?

It's gizzard shad season.

Let's have some raw fish and soju. It's my treat!

- Mr. Jeon! - Mr. Jeon!

Okay. Text me when you've made the reservation.

- Yes, sir! Thank you! - Thank you!

- Thank you! - Bye. We love you!

- Work hard! - Yes, sir!

I should've taken the afternoon off.

This must be the first team dinner since he came back.

Ms. Joo doesn't need to pick sides.

Her side came looking for her.

- Good for her. - I should report to Ms. Joo.

- He's so tall. - I'm excited.

Ms. Lim.

I got the impression you didn't tell us the full story.

If you feel uneasy talking at work

do you want to talk elsewhere?

There's a phrase the Audit Team quotes often.

"Police, prosecutor, judge, and attorney."

We investigate like the police, prosecute like a prosecutor

make a ruling like a judge

and defend the whistleblower like an attorney.

If you wish to report something to us

from that moment on

we will act as your attorneys.

So...

You can trust us.

But you're still Haemu employees.

I was told the same last time.

That I should trust you and tell all.

What?

Ms. Lim.

- Hello, Mr. Moo. - Is Ms. Joo there with you?

She's not answering her phone.

I'm not with her right now.

I'll get back to you.

Okay, bye.

Mr. Noh!

Get over here. There are lots of interesting things.

How did you make something like this?

We suspect him, too.

His mind works on a whole other level.

Right. He mastered Korean in no time.

He's a genius.

Don't you flatter me like that.

Okay, because over here...

Sudden team dinner with Managing Director Jeon.

Inform Ms. Joo for me.
