Please, sir.
You shouldn't do this.
We're the third...
No, the fourth subcontractor in the process.
The payment doesn't leave us any profit anyway.
But the promissory note worth 500 million won...
is actually a bill of dishonor?
This doesn't make sense.
Look.
If we went bankrupt on purpose,
we wouldn't be out here like this.
We haven't changed our phone numbers either.
We would've run away already if we had another intention.
Don't you think so?
We had no choice because we were short on funds.
So stop doing this.
We have a lot on our plate as is.
Please, sir.
Please help.
If we don't get paid,
we'll all be dead.
- Get off me. - Sir.
Sir. Sir!
Sir, please.
Sir...
Dad!
Dad.
Are you okay?
Dad, stay with me.
Dad.
- Dad. - The gifted may not understand.
Some people are clumsy at everything they do.
But is it bad to be clumsy?
It is bad to make a fool out of those hardworking people.
Mr. No.
Can't you take me to the head office with you?
Shouldn't you stick around your mother's side?
Forget the head office.
But she makes me suffocated.
And I need to think about my career too.
How ungrateful. You can't be part of the Audit Office like this.
Auditors know how to be grateful, after all.
My gosh.
That's so witty of you.
Seo Bo Geol, the pride of Gongju.
Do you know what Park Chan Ho, Park Se Ri,
and Queen Elizabeth have in common?
What was that?
They're all from Gongju.
You're hilarious.
How witty.
Oh my goodness.
All right.
You see,
I belong to the center,
which means, the head office.
Are you going to let Gongju keep a competent man like me?
I'll be glad to let it keep you.
Why?
Take a look at this.
I'm a globally certified financial planner.
Among 15,000 bankers in Daehan Bank, there's hardly anyone like me.
Use your skills for this neighborhood.
Gongju is your hometown.
Well, I do love my hometown,
but it's not like you became a banker...
with a sense of responsibility as a Seoul citizen either.
Why did you become a banker?
As the bank disbanded its shooting team which I was in,
I naturally...
became a banker.
You still worked at the head office once.
The elite teams.
As long as I could contribute to the society as a banker,
I didn't care much about which team I was in.
Excuse me.
Coming.
You'll be a great auditor.
I feel bad for Daehan Bank.
They're neglecting the blue chip in the bank industry.
(Certificate of Currency Option Exchange)
How important is it that you're signing the papers at home?
This is the foreign exchange insurance.
Mr. No says it's beneficial, and I agree with him.
Thank you for changing banks and this too, Father.
I can do this much for my dear son-in-law.
- Right, Han Sol? - Right.
The Great Depression in the States...
has swept the Korean stock market today.
Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.
The stock market hit bottom as soon as it was open.
The insecure sub-prime mortgage...
caused a credit crunch in the States.
And it's continuously threatening the Korean stock market.
Father.
You and your bank...
killed my dad.
Gosh.
This reminds me of the old memories.
Excuse me.
I'm from the head office of Daehan Bank.
Auditor No Dae Ho?
That's me.
Hello.
I'm your chauffeur, Park Gwang Soo.
I hope we get along, sir.
Please get in.
(Head Office of Daehan Bank)
I just can't understand the recent appointments.
Don't you think so?
It's very unusual.
Who on earth is this new auditor, No Dae Ho?
A former shooting athlete who got hired through a special employment.
What, shooting?
Is he going to shoot us...
if we cause him trouble or something?
Where is this bank heading to?
How groundless.
(General Managers of HR Team, PR Team, and Evaluation Team)
Doors are closing.
What?
You don't even ride elevators with them?
All the new executives are from Mr. Yook's people.
How did that witch, Han Soo Ji, manage to become a head manager?
She sits up straight when Mr. Yook is on the phone.
But she still tells him what has to be said...
when no one can do it.
That side of hers must've helped her win brownie points.
The general managers must be busy...
badmouthing me by now.
(Daehan Bank)
You don't have to come pick me up from tomorrow on.
Pardon?
The bank is suffering from financial problems as is.
I'm fine with taking subways.
No, that can't be done.
I might get fired...
if you refuse to take this car.
Is that how it's going to be?
The bank is reducing the number of branches.
Its employees won't be an exception.
Especially, a contract chauffeur like me...
will be the first to get fired.
- I see. - Besides,
I'm sure you need a chauffeur.
Not necessarily.
Executives are offered a chauffeur for a reason.
They're busy with work,
and this will help them rest...
at least in their commuting hours.
An auditor inspects every financial situation in the company.
They have the right to audit work progresses at pleasure.
If they discover any corruption or illegal acts,
they may report to the corresponding jurisdiction.
They have the full authority to demand...
any kinds of reports regarding work progresses.
If necessary, they may call a shareholders' meeting.
And according to commercial law, their term lasts...
until the shareholders' meeting in about three years.
But why on earth was I appointed...
to such an important position?
Besides...
You may not sense it in the branch,
but the head office is like the calm before the storm.
Don't let them see your weakness, or you'll get kicked out for it.
Keep this in mind.
I'm the former manager of the closed branch.
Please take the next elevator.
Hello, sir.
It's okay.
Get in.
I said, it's fine.
The Audit Team...
is on the 22nd floor, right?
Doors are opening.
I'll be looking forward to your future contribution.
Doors are closing.
May I come in?
I'm the recently appointed...
Hello, Mr. No.
I'm your secretary, Jang Mi Ho.
Nice to meet you.
I hope we get along.
I organized the papers you sent. Please check and confirm.
If you have other information like phone numbers or restaurants,
do let me know.
It's nicely organized.
I'll take another look at it later.
Your company credit card, gym membership,
executive badge, and etc. will be ready tomorrow.
Five million won will be provided for your work expenses.
Really?
That's a lot.
As far as I know, it's the proper amount.
Whoever you meet, you'll have to pay for your meal.
For the fair audit, you see.
I see.
Thank you for letting me know.
Don't mention it.
Let me know if you happen to spend it for any special reason.
And this.
This is for business use.
Where are the others?
The others are non-executives.
You'll be alone in the office most of the time.
The HR Team said they'd appoint an employee here,
but I put it off for now.
Why don't you appoint someone yourself?
Please think over and recommend one.
Appoint someone myself?
Is there anyone I have to recommend?
Are you going to let Gongju...
keep a competent man like me?
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Mr. No.
5,000 won?
No, 500,000 won. Look here.
There are 1, 2, 3 zeros.
- She's working hard like always. - See?
She takes an hour to commute to her new branch.
Isn't she tired?
- Please help. - Get off me.
Sir...
Goodness, sir.
- Did you have lunch? - Yes, I did.
Excuse me.
The man who just entered the manager's office.
Do you know who he is?
He's our VIP...
and the manager's regular client.
He's a CEO, but he changes companies all the time.
Why?
I don't know.
Excuse me.
Take your time.
Hello?
Oh, that's not true.
Of course.
I hear you and Ms. Jin have been been transferred...
to the same branch.
Yes, she's not in her right mind these days.
It must be because of her father's factory.
She's wasting all her salary for it.
I thought she was putting up with it even though it was hard.
Maybe she's up to something else.
Are you being considerate of your past subordinate?
What about me?
When you go back to Gongju,
see what is going on with her father's factory.
What, me?
Why?
You have time to kill anyway.
- No. - I'll be waiting.
I heard Vice-president Yook was behind the recent appointments.
He must have something to do with your boss.
I agree. The chief secretary didn't seem to know anything.
It means the president wasn't involved in his appointment.
The chief secretary?
How is Secretary Kim doing?
Stop it already, will you?
You got moved to the Audit Team because you stood against him.
Compared to how Ms. Do stresses you out,
the Audit team is like a paradise.
I get much time for self-improvement.
Mr. No looks nice too.
Isn't that your nice boss?
What on earth?
Why is an executive having lunch in the staff cafeteria?
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E03 'The Banker' "The New Auditor" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Didn't I tell you where the executive cafeteria is?
It's upstairs.
Well...
I just feel uncomfortable with those places.
Then will you have lunch with me outside from now on?
I have a list of delicious restaurant nearby.
But I like it here.
Your presence will make the others have indigestion.
They're afraid of auditors.
You have a point.
Some employees wait desperately for lunchtime, you know.
Are you one of them?
Mr. No.
I'm calling you in a confined place for security's reasons.
A confined place?
A VIP came to see the manager this morning.
His name is Mr. Koo, and he changes companies all the time.
Ms. Jin saw him and...
He changes companies?
Isn't that strange?
Ms. Jin saw him and started to boil with anger.
She went to the manager's office right when he left.
Then she came out in tears.
Did you look into her father's factory?
Yes, I thought it was strange and investigated everything in a rush.
His business went bankrupt...
because Mr. Koo paid him a bill of dishonor.
I think this...
It may have been intentional.
- Exactly. - We need evidence.
Send me all the information via e-mail.
Keep this from Ms. Jin for now.
Shouldn't we tell her and get some help?
It's only a speculation yet.
Besides, she may find this uncomfortable.
Isn't it better to tell her when it becomes certain?
Okay. By the way...
Is this your first job as the auditor?
Am I your back-up agent in Chungcheong Province?
She must be depressed. Make sure you comfort her.
Okay.
Oh, one more thing.
The manager's name is Yook Sang Sik.
Yook Sang Sik?
Oh, right.
I asked just in case,
and he's Vice-president Yook's younger cousin.
This branch didn't show any better performances than us,
but it didn't close down. Don't you think it's suspicious?
We need evidence to support our suspicion.
- Keep me noted. - Roger that.
Mr. No, I'll help you with your first...
I'm sorry for making you wait.
Don't eat too much for your dinner with the other executives today.
I'm honored to be able to serve you...
by your closer side.
Don't say that. This is the result of your decent performance.
Because of Ms. Do and others,
I didn't think the board of executives would easily agree on it.
It's just as I guaranteed you.
And...
President Kang was in this too.
Does it mean the branch close-down...
was his decision?
He made me do it on his behalf.
I'm the one who gets resented with blood on my hands.
He's good at using me as his puppet to take care of dirty work.
You knew his intention, so why...
Because there's reward.
- What exactly? - Well...
Ms. Do's influence got weakened,
and more importantly, you were promoted...
as a head manager.
99 percent of agendas...
have to be passed by the board of executives...
for 99 percent of them to be passed...
in the following shareholders' meeting without any problem.
You must learn how important each and every single one on your side.
I see.
You'll realize soon enough,
but President Kang...
believes he can control everything...
like pieces on a chessboard.
He looks nice and kind,
but he's actually sly and cunning.
Mr. Kang.
Soo Ji.
You're the most reliable banker...
in our branch.
Others look down on you because you didn't go to college,
but I know...
that you have great potential and values.
Don't be weak like this.
Stand up, fight back, and pull through it.
So that we can meet again...
in the head office next time.
But...
I can see the end now.
Huh?
At the last extraordinary general meeting,
people were sarcastic saying if president is Mr. Kang's only job.
I can't believe he granted amnesty.
Who does that kind of tyranny these days?
No wonder people complained about it.
Of course.
Then those who have problems...
...should be on our side now.
Especially the board members.
I know Mr. Kang the best.
But...
With last chess piece he put on the board...
I can't see what he is thinking.
I mean the one from Gongju.
No Dae Ho.
Since he only worked at local branches,
he's not really related to any side.
That's why no one was against him,
and that's how he passed the general meeting.
I heard you know him in person.
You didn't even get this position through your ability.
With your hair,
and your clothes...
You tried too hard.
I guess,
picking a side is considered as ability these days.
I think she's so anxious now.
Sure.
(Welcome party for new board members)
Let's see.
This year's audit is so young.
Oh, you are non-executive audits.
Sorry, I haven't introduced myself earlier.
I'm No Dae Ho.
I'm Han Min Koo.
I'm Jo Yeong Sik.
Anyway, you got a really good job.
Right.
There's not much work to do,
but you get paid as executives.
There's not much work to do?
I mean, you can try to work more but why bother?
What can an audit do anyway?
He's going to figure out soon.
He's smarter than that.
All you need to do as an audit...
is to keep it low and quiet.
That's all you do.
Is that so?
Just don't annoy the president.
On commercial law,
it says that the general meeting appoints the audit.
But that's just in name only, and in reality...
President is the one,
who decides everything.
The same goes with you.
Dad.
(Manager No Dae Ho)
(Welcome party for new board members)
I have a heavy heart standing here.
We, Daehan Bank, closed branches...
of the bottom 20 percent.
That was an inevitable choice.
It's because...
the situation in and out of this country is changing so quickly.
Together...
we...
share our burden.
Now, let's hear speeches of new board members,
that we appointed for Daehan Bank's future.
I'm the head manager, Han Soo Ji.
First,
due to closing of branches,
lots of my coworkers are suffering right this moment.
Yet, I got this promotion.
So, I feel really sorry for that.
It's time for choice and concentration.
Through simplification of the headquarter,
and the next generation computer system,
I'll focus on preparing new future for Daehan Bank.
I would appreciate all your advice and opinion.
Thank you.
I'm a new audit, No Dae Ho.
I was a manager of Gongju branch which is closed now.
Our branch was a reception room of that town,
and the place who supports...
all the local merchants there.
That branch has gone.
I'm sure there must be several reasons why it's closed,
but the bad situation of Daehan Bank must be the biggest reason.
But...
With these expensive meals...
you're enjoying right now,
who would think that our situation is bad?
I wonder if those who drink this expensive wine...
know that the situation is bad.
Mr. No.
You're being too cocky now.
I'm talking some senses here.
Then,
I'm sure you already know that an audit shouldn't interfere...
in management style.
It's been a while...
that you actually sounded like a vice-president.
Mr. No.
Do you know...
how irrational you are right now?
I didn't know...
that having expensive meals...
was part of managing.
I want to say this to Mr. No.
I want you to keep in mind...
that everything you say will be a statement...
as an audit.
(Episode 4 will air shortly.)
(Episode 4)
What a hectic hazing it was.
Why are you here? You are the star of the day.
So much for a star.
I don't know if it's because of my ability and skills,
or it's because they just want me to do all their dirty jobs.
I'll know it soon.
What do you mean by dirty jobs? I doubt it.
I'm the one who doesn't know why they want me to do this job.
I don't know what they want from me.
Some said I shouldn't do anything.
Are you really not going to do anything?
- You'll do something, right? - Of course.
But...
I tried so hard not to close my branch.
But they offered me an expensive meal.
I just felt frustrated.
I was fine when I was in the inspection department.
Can you not make that dad's joke since you're an audit now?
Why? Everyone likes it.
Oh my god, is that what all the dads think?
Jeez.
You didn't care about making people laugh,
when you were in the inspection department.
Didn't I?
You've changed after all these years.
But I could see an audit in you,
from that time too.
I think an audit is your calling.
You haven't changed at all.
Well...
I've always wanted to advance my career,
so I can change everything.
The bank and the world.
But?
It's too complicated.
I already see the other side of the world,
and I hear different things.
But yet,
I won't imitate those coward men.
What kind of dad's joke do you like?
Can you check the number of Koo Seong Taek?
I'll talk to the prosecution.
Okay, I will.
Gongju got me, so don't worry.
Have a good night.
Gongju night.
Hi.
(Auditor Kang,)
(I'm reporting...)
Can one of you come inside?
I'll go in.
Number 36, please come to window 6.
Oh, it's not Lee this time.
Put this in my account.
Okay.
We're done here, let's go have some lunch.
What are you talking about? We should drink.
(Approval Request)
(Your request has been approved.)
We're going to have lunch now.
(Certificate of deposit)
If we don't get that money,
we die, Mister, we die.
So hungry.
- Let's hurry. - How do you approve transaction?
I put that on your monitor.
Oh, right.
- Enjoy your lunch. - Okay.
Thank you.
- What should we eat? - Are we having pork again?
(Request Cancel)
(Your request has been canceled.)
(Transaction password)
(Your request has been canceled.)
(Charge back)
Are you okay?
Yes, well.
If you have any problem,
you can tell me anything, you know.
I mean, even the branch has been closed,
we're still together now.
Thank you, but...
I can't ask you...
to do something this big.
What is it?
Mr. No, who do you think is the real owner...
of this bank?
It's of course the stockholders.
Yes, stockholders.
Bankers like us...
are just employees who get salaries.
Right.
But, you know...
just because they're not here, some people think they're owners.
And those people are more interested in making factions.
Board members of Daehan Bank...
don't care about the future of Daehan Bank.
All they do is factious quarrels.
- That's a shame. - It is a shame.
Even I, the president, can't estimate all those factions.
I know it's going to be hard to work as an audit.
But I think...
that you can do well.
Can I trust you?
So, it was you who made me an audit.
No, I didn't.
Mr. No.
You legally passed a general meeting and got appointed.
Those who made you an audit...
are stockholders, the real owner of this bank.
Not me.
I'm not sure if you remember.
I remember...
when you just got in...
to our bank.
(A personnel record)
I feel so bad...
about the Olympics.
I rooted for you.
Oh, you remember.
- I'm a big fan of shooting. - Oh, you are.
Thank you.
I'm just so grateful that I got to win the silver medal.
I thought you only practiced shooting.
What have you prepared?
I'm learning abacus calculation.
- With kids? - Yes.
The kids take other lessons beside for this.
For me, taking abacus calculation lessons is already too much.
Actually, since I was in the HR Team.
Mr. No...
always had my attention.
Please...
reform this bank.
They won't be able to stop you.
Whoever I try to reform?
Of course. Of course.
(Shoe repair shop)
Excuse me,
you need to wait to get your shoes done.
As you see, I'm a little behind.
CD...
(Certificate of deposit)
will be given to you.
How much?
Five CDs with 100 million each.
Stay outside.
(Certificate of deposit Daehan Bank)
380-080830-00107.
Daehan Bank.
(Daehan Bank)
Mr. No, it's an emergency.
- It's money. - Oh, it's real money.
- What's going on? - Wow, really.
Oh, it's money.
Money is falling from the sky.
It's really money.
My colleague recorded it outside of the lobby.
Oh, really?
Ms. Jin?
Mr. Seo, do you know Ms. Jin is at the headquarter?
At the headquarter?
Nothing.
She wasn't here after lunch so, I thought she took a day off.
Mr. Koo dropped by again.
Manager, where's the manager?
Manager...
He's not here. Did he leave with Mr. Koo?
What is Ms. Jin doing there?
There's a person.
What should we do?
She would fall.
Miss! Miss!
- Come on down. - Don't get any closer.
Stay back!
About the guy who just left...
- What about him? - He always founds a new company.
Is that okay?
What do you mean?
At the last company,
he bankrupted the company on purpose...
and didn't pay the subcontractors.
And...
isn't he founding a new company again?
Ms. Jin.
Yes, sir.
Why we do have to care?
Pardon me?
Why do we care whether he bankrupts the company on purpose?
As long as we give him a loan, I don't care.
Geez.
Why should I talk about this with you?
Don't you know how to make sales because you're from a failed branch?
Is that so?
- Sir... - Now, get out.
Mr. Koo will be back soon.
What are you doing?
Get out.
I'm Auditor No Dae Ho.
Ms. Jin.
I'm No Dae Ho.
Come here.
Talk to me.
Why is the good teller like you here?
What's going on?
Come here, please.
Mr. No.
It's all over.
I have no choice.
It's unfair.
I want everyone to suffer.
But I can't take it anymore.
I'm an auditor.
Please let me help you.
Yes?
You answer my call so rudely like that again.
Did I raise you like that?
- Huh? - Mom, I'm very busy now.
There's an emergency here.
You're lying again.
Would your manager eat here when there's an emergency?
It's after lunch time.
What? My branch manager is here?
Wait.
Hey.
(Out of office)
I know it's because of the bankrupt.
We started investigating.
Even so,
that doesn't bring my dad back.
It's all useless.
Even if I live my life,
there's no good.
Sometimes we all feel that way.
But it's not true.
Every life is worth living.
Let's make sure justice is served.
I don't need that.
As a manager...
No.
- As an auditor, what can you do? - As an auditor...
I will do everything I can for the bank.
Ms. Jin.
Let me come to you.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E04 'The Banker' "Ms. Jin, Mr. Yook, and Mr. Gu" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Ms. Jin.
Seon Mi, who worked as a teller for 10 years,
was disappointed by the bank...
and tried throwing herself in the cold rain.
How disappointed do you have to be to try killing yourself?
(Emergency medical center)
How can the banks turn disappointment to hope?
What should we do to stop the banks from killing people?
(Out of office)
We are from the Audit team.
We ask you to stop...
and cooperate with us.
Mr. Yook.
We'll use your office.
He's out of office now.
One of the tellers here had an emergency...
and he's not even in the office?
Excuse me...
I'll lead you to the office. This way.
Where's Mr. Seo?
Thanks to you,
our sales performance is good.
You're welcome.
I'll take you to a better place next time.
- Oh, sure. - Go home safely.
Oh, he's having fun.
The manager is here.
You seem like you had a drink.
Could I ask you some questions?
We checked a surveillance camera.
Ms. Jin left this office...
when you and Mr. Koo were here...
and took a day off.
Did something happen in the office?
Well...
I received CDs from Mr. Koo...
and asked Ms. Jin to deposit them.
Other than that, nothing happened.
About Mr. Koo...
He's been changing his companies...
why did you remain silent and keep the relationship with him?
He's an important customer and our performance is also important.
As you already know, some branches closed because...
- Did he keep changing companies? - Have you been...
keeping this strange deal without reporting it?
- That's not true. - The papers say it is!
You have been overlooking his intentional bankruptcy.
(Restricted area)
Ugh.
I should change this lock.
You are busted.
Hello, Mr. Seo. Where are you?
Mr. No.
- Here's a lot of money. - What?
I'm at an abolished school, Mr. Koo's safe house.
He's stacked up money in a cabinet.
He said he went bankrupt.
What are you going to do when you're not a detective?
Come back.
I'll call the police.
You'll call the police?
Oh.
Do you have the evidence of intentional bankruptcy?
I knew No Dae Ho...
was appointed to aim at me.
Hello, it's me.
Please give me one more chance.
Because of that crazy bastard...
I'm about to get fired.
- Who do you think you called? - Sorry?
You take care of it.
Mr. Yook. Mr. Yook!
What are you doing to do about Mr. Yook?
Well, I can't just leave him alone.
Jin Seon Mi used to...
work for No Dae Ho, right?
I heard he really liked her.
One of the reasons why this investigation started.
Call Personnel Committee...
and in exchange for saving her...
try negotiating for his punishment.
It won't be easy.
- Ms. Do's people are watching too. - So, what should I do?
(Daehan Bank Personnel Committee)
Mr. Yook.
You don't seem so nervous.
Of course,...
because someone got your back.
Maintaining strong family ties in this age...
is quite nice.
Well.. on my end,
it was all for Daehan Bank.
I'm sorry my passion in sales...
caused a trouble.
I deeply regret what I did.
Regretting is not enough here.
I think that Mr. Yook...
should be fired.
Gwan Sik, I mean...
Mr. Yook!
No Dae Ho, you punk!
You're just a President's dog.
I'm not going to put up with it.
But this time,
your fair judgment is on everybody's lips.
Good.
Your advice to fire Sang Sik was good.
You are the only one who is worth being around me.
(Yook Sang Sik Gongju Branch Manager: Fired)
Are you writing the audit report?
- Yes. - Punishing the manager is crucial.
But isn't saving Ms. Jin more important?
Also, her dad is in the hospital.
Besides, Mr. Yook...
If he was implicated in a crime because someone got his back,
he should be punished more.
Even if Ms. Jin goes to jail for embezzlement?
Yes.
It's typical No Dae Ho.
But this way, you're making an enemy of Vice-president.
I'm doing my job as an auditor.

Someone texted me this without caller ID.
If it's revealed,
it will ruin Daehan Bank's reputation.

Thanks for your work so far.
Leave this bank.
You disgraced Daehan Bank.
Don't you think you're responsible?
I suggest we should fire Mr. No.
If you want to save Daehan Bank,
you should uncover the truth.
