Episode 8 recap begins with Cha-il correctly identifying the broker in the auditorium and revealing how Mr Lee, through gestures during his presentation, exposed the cloud password to the broker. Han-soo, keeping watch on the cloud with Manager Park’s help, had alerted Cha-il that the cloud containing the J-BIMS project demo was accessed by an unknown entity. Cha-il then exposes how Mr Lee’s tumbler was actually a USB device, as he observed him drinking water from a regular bottle, never touching the tumbler. This reveal shocks everyone as Cha Il further explains how Mr Lee started suspecting Mr Park was working with him so transferred the JBIMS information to the Tumbler usb which the broker could access. Cha Il wants to check if the JBIMS information is really inside the tumbler but the other two are left stunned.
This revelation leads to the broker and Mr Lee fleeing. Mr Lee goes to the office and destroys every hardware device by pouring water over them. He then deletes every J-BIMS software copy except for the one on the tumbler USB. When Se-woong, the president, Vp Dae-woong, and the audit team reach the room, he tells them he has gotten rid of every JIBM file except for the one in the tumbler. The president pleads with him not to throw the tumbler but he throws it regardless realizing that he has lost everything. He says that if the company wants to save millions of won, they need to help him with his criminal case before being taken away by security.
The president is angered by this development especially when Mr Bang, his father’s friend scolds him on phone for his lack of judgment warning him that he may loose company right because of this. Meanwhile, Vp Hwang teases him by telling him he can recreate the JIBM’s project again, all the while stroking the president title plaque on the table.He then leaves with a smile.
Later, Manager Park publicly admits his fault to his staff and apologizes to Yeon-woo, who decides to to stay on with the tech department. Cha Il then meets the president who is annoyed that he didn’t let him know he would interrupt the presentation. Cha Il explains that he wanted to catch Mr Lee red handed. He assures him that the IBM would still work without Mr Lee and to ignore his arrogant behavior. The president still upset sends him away.
Han-soo earns a compliment from Cha-il in front of the others for successfully settling the case. Han soo is very happy over this and while leaving with Seo jin mentions it to her. He invites her to eat chicken at his parents restaurant and for the first time, she agrees. His parents are surprised since it’s the first time he has ever brought a girl to them and the father suggest Seo Jin could start thinking of Han Soo romantically which embarasses him. Yeon woo joins the two and they eat together at his parents’ restaurant. Elsewhere, for the first time, Dae-woong remains silent, suddenly seemingly reluctant to kick Cha Il out of the company as Mr Yang suggests.
Meanwhile, Yeon woo thanks Han soo for his help and Seo jin adds that he is lucky to have someone who will always be there for him. This makes Han soo surprised as she rarely says a kind word to him. The three end up having a nice time drinking and eating. However, somewhere else, an anonymous person is making a post about nepotism in JU construction company with claims that one can get hired due to connections.
The next day, Han soo who is in a good mood buys coffee for everyone including Cha Il even throwing him a joke that sounds so cringy to everyone.
Just then Seo-jin comes across allegations of nepotism in the employment process at JU Construction and shows the report to Cha Il. Everyone checks the post by the anonymous person who claims that the culprit owned a small family business yet was able to pass despite having a low grade simply because they had connections in the company.
Cha Il relays the news to the president citing that they need to investigate the hiring process to avoid the company going under. Just as he leaves, the president suddenly says to himself that Cha Il is too stubborn. (What are you up to President?)
The news soon blows up as reporters pursue the case and Cha Il requests the audit department to begin re-checking the employment procedure at the company. He meets Vp Hwang and Mr Yang at the elevator who mocks that soon, he and the president will be fired. Cha Il replies that he will be looking forward to it and leaves which makes VP Hwang think he is being arrogant but frowns at Mr Yang when he says it will be great to fire the arrogant one.
Meanwhile, the audit team begin their investigation but the company employees aren’t cooperative. Meanwhile, Vp Hwang and Seo jin meet to talk as usual with Vp Hwang promising to visit Seo jin’s mother later.
The audit team jokingly suspects Han-soo, but when they can’t find his exam results sheet, the fun turns into a nightmare for Han-soo. Cha Il suspects him but he emphasizes that he took the hiring exam and passed it. Still, Cha Il doubts him, causing Han soo to get upset and call him mean before leaving the office. Cha Il looks worried and tells Ms Ok to reexamine the documents again. When he leaves, Yum Kyung Suk finds it weird that he would worry over Han soo. Seo Jin goes after Han soo to comfort him. He is disappointed that Cha Il still doesn’t trust him and Seo jin reminds him that is his personality, to doubt everything. Han soo thinks he must be lonely to always think like that. The other staff check but still can’t find Han Soo’s records.
Meanwhile, Cha-il interviews employees from the HR Department, and one of Han-soo’s seniors searches the archives for an in-depth audit going back four years. In the meantime, Han-soo is off the case
That night, Han soo tails Cha Il who immediately discovers he is stalking him. The two go drinking and Han soo is upset that Cha Il doesn’t trust him. Cha Il asserts that he is only trying to judge him fairly but Han soo wishes he can at least tell him once that he trusts him. But Cha Il can only tell him not to worry. Han soo ends up getting drunk. Cha Il escorts him to a cab and Han soo once again reiterates how sad he is trusting Cha Il yet not getting the same from him. He tells him he is cold hearted before finally leaving.
That night, Cha il is sent Han soo’s interview video. It was finally found and he looks regretful as he watches it. Meanwhile, Han soo is embarrassed over the things he said to Cha Il in his drunken state. Just then, he receives a call from Mr Moon who is still searching for his file. He tells him he trusts him as long as he tells him the truth to which Han soo insists he passed the interview promising to buy him a meal if he finds his records.
After much searching, the next day, Mr Moon finally finds Han-soo’s reports, to his relief. He shows everyone, especially Cha Il who doesn’t react, simply telling him to return to work. Seo jin notes that Han soo expected Cha Il would apologize but Han soo says he at least expected he would pity him. Meanwhile, Cha-il is suspicious over the discrepancies and the errors in the staff records and asks a staff at the HR department for data and reports on the employment processes going back four years but the woman is upset at the order believing Cha Il is overextending his authority. Han soo and Seo jin feel bad that they have to leave before their superiors who are still working. Just then, Seo jin leaves after getting a phone call.
Se-woong visits his brother at the hospital and receives the news that he will soon gain consciousness. Elsewhere, a female employee frantically talks to someone on the phone about being discovered.
Later that night, when Seo-jin meets with her uncle, they are captured on camera by someone who uploads their pictures citing nepotism. The two have dinner with her mother but the next day, Seo-jin is shocked to see her pictures viral on the web.
The auditors just seem to be getting better and better at its gripping tale. Each drama adds a layer of excitement to the series. However, one thing i am curious about is who this anonymous person causing all these trouble really is?
