(The names of people, incidents, and backgrounds...)

There is not enough evidence to prove that illegal inheritance of PQ Group...

and the alleged slush fund...

as raised by the defendant are true.

Therefore, the defendant, Hwang Chul Min,

is found guilty...

under Article 156 of the Criminal Act.

The former PQ managing director, who emerged as a symbol of justice...

by confessing to PQ Group's slush funds and the political and business lobbying,

Hwang Chul Min, has been sentenced to eight years in prison...

and a fine of 1.3 billion won.

The civic groups criticized the trial, which overturned the acquittal...

in the second trial, saying that the justice of the law...

collapsed before the conglomerate.

Why did you do that?

You knew this was going to happen.

So why did you still fight?

Even when I called you dozens of times after Mom collapsed,

and two days ago when you were looking for the place where you abandoned me,

you didn't think of us, did you?

The only thing that mattered to you were your own battles, right?

Are you going to keep coming to see me...

to clean up the mess you created?

I'm helping those conglomerates that you despised so much.

I'm helping them with finance fraud and illegal inheritance.

It's so darn easy.

Thinking about how you couldn't do something so easy...

left me speechless.

- Move out of the way! - Please make way!

- You'll get hurt! - Make way!

I never understood my father.

It seemed stupid for him to fight against PQ Group he couldn't defeat.

And I hated having to suffer because of it.

The car is coming up.

The car is coming up!

But...

why did I leave the man all alone...

when he obviously seemed unstable?

Excuse me.

(List of vehicles that entered Youngsoo Road)

I got it from a Daeju Daily reporter.

The police said that the CCTV footage got deleted,

but there was remaining footage of the other side of the road.

I've investigated all the vehicle records, but nothing suspicious came up.

Although I couldn't see anything,

I thought it could be different for someone else.

You investigated all this by yourself?

It's strange...

how the police were too quick to conclude it was suicide.

For the bereaved family,

there shouldn't be any doubts left.

Are you doing this out of guilt?

Do you want to get confirmation...

that my father didn't die because of a tax audit?

The tax audit...

wasn't ordered because of a suspicion.

It was ordered because they wanted to find something.

I should've turned it back when I found out.

But at some point,

I wanted to protect myself first.

I knew other people's lives would be ruined, but I still...

I'm so sorry.

I know that you won't be able to forgive me, but I'm still sorry.

I should thank you,

but I'm sorry that I can't.

Goodbye.

Let's never see each other again.

The police came with this. They're Chul Min's belongings.

By the way, didn't he mention...

anything about meeting someone?

What do you mean?

The memorandum is gone.

It's strange how the cover is here, but the contents are gone.

He wrote all the lobby records of PQ Group there.

I thought he already got rid of it because so many people were after it.

This is the cover of the memorandum?

Someone used National Tax Service to find this.

Why did my father take this with him that night?

What are you here for?

You'd know if you heard it. An exposure.

Why would I believe you when you're one of them?

You're a secret corruption expert in Kangseong Tax Accounting.

You even have a weird nickname.

You mean Don Quixote?

Yes, that one.

You're Don Quixote of the jerks who want to embezzle money.

How trashy must you've been to earn such a nickname for an accountant?

I worked hard.

Those are the documents related to the PQ's paper company.

I know you're preparing to indict them for embezzlement.

That's all the evidence you'll get no matter how much you investigate.

Only the evidence of Kangseong Tax Accounting...

overlooking accounting fraud of 13 businesses...

and not doing auditing will be left.

I hope that'll be useful.

You know, your license may be revoked for violation of confidentiality.

It's okay. Nothing will happen to me.

How can you be so sure?

You see,

I didn't hand over the worst kind of crime done...

for insurance purposes, Young Tae.

That jerk.

Go and practice more.

I know I shouldn't be asking this, considering my position,

but why are you doing this? Is it because of what happened?

You won't be able to set foot in that world ever again.

It doesn't matter...

because that's not where I'm headed to anymore.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm repaying your kindness and support with ingratitude.

Thank you for everything.

It does feel like you're running away.

Did you get caught while trying to embezzle?

This place didn't suit me from the start.

That's not true.

You're perfect for a messed-up company...

- that only chases after money. - See you around, Ms. Oh.

You have good grades and a lot of experience as well.

Your job must've been fine. Why did you choose us?

The man I respect the most once told me this.

"Just because you make good money, that doesn't mean you're living well."

"You must keep at least one goal in your heart."

My father was really cool when he did this as he said it.

I'm here with that one goal in my heart.

I want to give it my all in this place.

- Number 21, please come in. - Okay.

Hwang Dong Ju of Litigation Department. You're the level five newbie, right?

Just mind your business. We have many experts here.

I guess I didn't introduce myself properly.

This is my old business card.

I used to specialize in accounting fraud, processing expenses, and paper companies.

What is this? Is there something else you want?

You wouldn't believe me even if I answer that question.

You wouldn't entrust it to me.

I'll tell you after I get that two billion won.

It's Byun Bong Seok!

Please say something! For your fans...

Such patriots, aren't they?

They can't even do their jobs properly,

but they always bite my head off whenever they bring up the military service.

It's so stupid.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Bong Seok, the car wouldn't move.

What's that?

It's the NTS! Take photos!

I told you to check these things in advance!

Do something about it. Hurry.

Oh, he's here.

You're Mr. Byun Bong Seok, right?

There are so many people watching too. Aren't I right?

Hi, there. Mr. Byun Bong Seok.

What's going on? What are you doing?

Oh, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

I'm here to collect his taxes.

- What are you doing? - Darn you.

Hey, take it easy. He might die at this rate.

Make him stand up.

Mr. Byun Bong Seok.

Mr. Byun... Mr. Byun Bong Seok!

- Oh, gosh. - Strike!

Wow, you certainly deserve to go to the Major League.

My gosh.

Goodness, Mr. Byun Bong Seok.
