(Episode 4)
What a grand welcoming party.
Why did you come out? You're the star of tonight.
What star?
I'm not sure if my ability and experience were recognized,
or if they just want to give me all the dirty work.
I'll have to find out.
What dirty work?
That can't be true.
Even now, I don't know why I became the auditor,
and what they want me to do.
I also heard that it's best for the auditor to not do anything.
Are you really planning to not do anything?
You won't do that, will you?
No. I won't do that, but...
I was running around just a while ago...
to prevent our branch from closing down.
But today, they're telling me to eat an expensive meal at a hotel.
I guess I'm just twisted.
I wasn't twisted when I was in the Evaluation Department.
Since you're an executive now,
why don't you stop with your dad jokes?
Why? Everyone loves it.
Do old men really think people like their jokes?
Gosh.
When you were in the Evaluation Department,
you weren't interested in making other people laugh.
Was I like that?
I'm sure you changed. It's been ages ago.
But I think you were budding...
to become an auditor since then.
You're perfect for an auditor.
Soo Ji, you're still the same.
I...
always wanted to succeed in my career.
I wanted to succeed...
so I could change everything.
The bank,
and the world too.
And?
It's complicated.
Now that I'm an executive, I'm seeing a new world,
and I'm hearing new stories.
But,
I won't try to imitate those cowardice men.
What kind of dad jokes do you like?
I need you to double check the customer number...
for Mr. Gu Seong Taek.
I'll check through the Inspection Department.
The Inspection Department?
Gosh.
Yes, sir.
You have me in Gongju, so don't worry and rest easy.
Have a good night. A Gongju night.
(Business Loans)
Gosh, Mr. Gu.
- Hello. - Please, sit down.
(I have...)
(an update for you, Mr. Noh.)
Could I have someone from the window come in?
I'll go in.
Customer number 36,
please go to window number six.
(Branch Manager Yook Sang Sik)
Someone else came in instead of Mr. Lee.
Put this in his account.
Yes, sir.
Everything's wrapped up, so we should go eat.
Forget about eating. Let's drink.
(Requesting deposit approval)
(Your approval request has been sent.)
Please go to window six.
(Deposits, Withdrawals)
I'll go eat first.
- Okay, go ahead. - Thank you.
If we don't get that money,
then we'll die!
- Okay, let's go. - Okay.
I'm hungry.
Let's hurry up and go.
What should I do if I need an approval for a transaction?
The password is on the monitor.
I see.
Enjoy your lunch.
Okay. Thank you.
- What are we having for lunch? - Gosh.
Let's have pork bulgogi.
(Requesting deposit cancellation approval)
(Your deposit cancellation request has been sent.)
(Requesting deposit cancellation approval)
(Approval password: 619283)
(Your approval has been processed.)
(Thank you for your first transaction at our bank.)
(Daehan Together Bankbook)
(Deposit cancellation: 500,000 dollars)
Are you okay?
Yes. I guess.
If...
something happened, don't suffer alone.
You should share your troubles with me.
You and I have a connection...
even branch closures couldn't break.
Thank you,
but I won't accept help...
I can't return.
Why are you...
(Deposit cancellation: 500,000 dollars)
(Deposit: 500,000 dollars)
Mr. Noh. Who do you think is the true owner...
of this bank?
Our stockholders, of course.
That's right. It's our stockholders.
Bankers like us...
are just hired hands.
Yes, sir.
However,
just because the owners aren't paying attention,
the bankers are acting like they're the owners...
and started getting into cliques.
They're desperately trying to gather power.
The board members of Daehan Bank...
aren't concerned about the future of the bank.
They're busy fighting in cliques.
That's unfortunate.
Yes, it's unfortunate.
Even as the president, it's very difficult...
for me to handle these cliques.
It'll be a difficult environment for an auditor to work in,
but I believe...
you'll do a good job, Mr. Noh.
Will it be all right...
for me to trust you?
As I predicted,
it was you who appointed me as the auditor.
No.
It wasn't me.
You're an auditor...
who was officially picked...
at the general meeting of stockholders.
The people who placed you in that position...
are the true owners of this bank, the stockholders.
It wasn't me.
I'm not sure if you remember this.
I remember...
when you...
first joined our bank.
(Orientation for Special Hires and Senior Recruits)
It was a little disappointing...
during the Olympics.
I cheered for you a lot.
You remember me?
I'm a fan of shooting sport.
I see. Thank you.
But I'm grateful that I even won a silver medal.
You must've spent all your life practicing shooting.
What did you prepare to become a banker?
I'm learning abacus calculation.
Abacus calculation?
- The one for kids? - Yes.
Kids learn a lot of things...
besides abacus calculation.
But I'm overwhelmed to be learning abacus calculation alone.
I've been paying attention to you...
ever since I was the general manager...
of human resources.
Please...
reform our bank.
No one...
will be able to stop you, Mr. Noh.
Even if they are the targets of the reform?
Of course. Of course.
Of course.
(Shoe repair shop)
Excuse me.
You'll have to wait for a bit if you want to shine your shoes.
As you can see, we're quite behind.
Do you take certificates of deposit?
What? By how much?
Five bills that are worth 100,000 dollars each.
Please step outside.
(Certificate of Deposit)
380. 080830. 00107.
Daehan Bank.
(Daehan Bank)
Mr. Noh, we're in trouble.
- It's money! - Really?
- Where? - What's this?
- My goodness. - It's money!
- It's money! It's money! - My goodness.
- Hurry up! - What's happening?
My colleague saw this from the lobby and ran outside to take this.
- It's money! - Really?
- It's money! It's money! - My goodness.
Ms. Jin?
Bo Geol, did you know that Ms. Jin is in the head office?
Pardon? The head office?
Mind your business.
I noticed how she's gone when I came back from lunch,
but I thought she took the rest of her day off.
Mr. Gu came in the morning today.
The branch manager. Where's the branch manager?
The branch manager?
He's not here. He must be outside with Mr. Gu.
What is Ms. Jin doing at the head office?
- Look, there's a person! - Why is she there?
- Oh, no. - Oh, my gosh!
- Look at that! - Oh, my!
Miss! Miss!
Come down.
Don't come near me.
Don't come!
What's going on?
About the client who just left.
Mr. Gu? What about him?
I heard his company changes all the time.
Is that acceptable?
What do you mean?
In his last company,
he made his company go bankrupt after hiring a puppet CEO.
He didn't even pay the subcontractors.
But isn't he trying to start a new company?
Listen, Ms. Jin.
Yes?
What does that have to do with our bank?
Pardon?
What does Mr. Gu making his company go bankrupt...
have anything to do with our bank?
All we have to do is to have him take loans out from our bank.
My gosh.
Why do I even have to talk about this with you?
Right. You used to work at a branch that closed down.
That must be why you don't know how to run a bank.
- Excuse me? - Please get out.
Mr. Gu will be back soon.
What are you doing?
Get out!
Thank you very much.
Ms. Jin.
Ms. Jin. It's me, Noh Dae Ho.
Please come here.
You should talk with me.
Why is such an excellent employee...
like you up there?
What on earth happened?
Please come down.
Mr. Noh.
It's all over.
I had no other choice than to do this.
I'm so wrongly accused,
but those jerks...
I want all of them to be punished.
But I have no strength to go on.
I'm an auditor.
Please give me a chance to help you.
- What? - You're picking up your phone...
in a rude way again.
Hey, did I teach you to be like that?
Mom, I'm really busy right now!
It seems like something serious is going on at the bank.
Look at you lying again.
Why would your branch manager...
be having ribs here when your bank is in trouble?
It's way past your lunch time.
What? The branch manager is there?
Wait a minute.
Where... What...
(Absent. Please go to another window.)
I know you're being like this because of the bankrupt.
The investigation is already in process.
That wouldn't...
bring back my father who's unconscious.
It's all useless now.
Continuing my life...
wouldn't do me any good.
Anyone goes through that stage.
But this isn't right. Life is a blessing!
You should prove your innocence...
- and catch the bad... - I said it's all useless now!
Mr. Noh.
I mean,
Auditor Noh, what can you do for me?
I will...
do everything I can...
as the auditor of this bank.
Ms. Jin.
I'll go over to you.
Ms. Jin!
No!
- Look at that! - He caught her!
My gosh!
Sun Mi had been an average teller for 10 years.
She got disappointed in the bank...
and tried to jump to her death in the cold rain.
How disappointed must one be...
to want to give up their own life?
(Emergency Room)
(Seoul Hospital)
What must a bank do...
to turn disappointment into expectation?
What must a bank do...
to stop taking people's lives?
(Absent. Please go to another window.)
Who are these people?
We're from the Inspection Department.
Please stop whatever you're doing and cooperate with us.
Branch manager?
We'll use your office.
Our branch manager isn't in at the moment.
One of his staff caused a commotion at the head office...
and the branch manager is not in?
Wait, sir.
Go ahead and use his office. It's that way.
Go on.
Where's Bo Geol?
Thanks.
Thanks to you sir, our performance is skyrocketing.
We're helping each other out.
I'll take you to a nice place for drinks.
- Okay. Goodbye. - I hope you get home safely.
Look at him. He's so pleased.
(The 3rd Kimchi for Charity Event)
(Taxi)
The branch manager is here, sir.
Gosh.
You look like you've been drinking.
Can I ask you a few questions?
I checked the security footage.
Ms. Jin took off work...
after leaving your office. I see you and Mr. Gu Seong Taek...
were both inside of the office.
Did something happen in your office?
Well...
I received Mr. Gu's certificates of deposit...
and told Ms. Jin to put them in his account.
Nothing happened other than that.
That Mr. Gu Seong Taek.
He kept changing corporates.
Why did you ignore that and continued doing business with him?
He's a very big customer and performance is important.
As you know, a few branches closed down...
He changed corporates?
You continued doing shady business...
without reporting to the head office?
No, no.
The paperwork proves it!
You knew, but ignored the fact that...
Gu Seong Taek goes bankrupt intentionally!
What is this place?
(Restricted Area)
Darn it.
I should change this to a digital lock.
I got you.
Seo Bo Geol. Where are you?
Mr. Noh.
- There's a lot of cash here. - What?
I'm at Mr. Gu's hideout which looks like an old school.
He keeps stacks of cash in a cabinet.
When he went bankrupt not long ago.
What do you think you're doing when you aren't an investigator?
Come back. I'll call the police.
The police?
Did you find evidence of his intentional bankruptcy?
I knew it. Noh Dae Ho...
was a sniper put into place to take me down.
Kwan Shik, it's me.
Save me.
A crazy witch...
is about to get me fired.
How dare you call me, you idiot?
- What? - Deal with it yourself.
Kwan Shik. Kwan Shik!
(Daehan Bank)
What will you do with Branch Manager Yook?
He's family, so I can't leave him to perish.
Didn't Ms. Jin work for Noh Dae Ho...
until a while ago?
Yes.
I heard he favored her a lot.
That's why he got on the case.
Call the Personnel Committee.
In return for giving the teller her job back,
I'll negotiate a deal for Sang Sik.
It won't be easy.
Ms. Do will be watching.
Then what should I do?
(Cheon Byung Jin)
(Do Jung Ja)
(Yook Kwan Shik)
(Song Tae Wook)
(Lee Young Hoon)
(Noh Dae Ho)
Mr. Yook.
You don't seem too nervous.
But then,
someone must have your back.
In this day and age, looking out for a relative...
What a nice sight to see.
Well, yes.
Although it was solely for the benefit of Daehan Bank,
I admit that I went too far out of my eagerness...
to keep a customer.
For that, I show great remorse.
We can't close this case just because you show remorse.
I believe Mr. Yook Sang Sik...
should be fired.
Kwan Shik...
Vice President.
Noh Dae Ho, you fool!
You're just the president's dog!
Do you think I'll let you walk over me?
This incident...
has the staff talking about...
how fair you are.
Yes. Your advice that it's best...
I fire Sang Sik myself was quite appropriate.
Of all the people around me, you're the only one worth their pay.
(Yook Sang Sik: Dismissed)
- Are you writing a report? - Yes.
It's important to punish Branch Manager Yook,
but isn't it more important to save Ms. Jin?
Her father's in hospital.
And Mr. Yook's...
If he engaged in a crime because he trusted his backer,
he deserves to be punished even more.
Even if Ms. Jin has to go to prison for embezzlement?
Yes.
That's so typically you.
But if you do this,
the vice president will become your enemy.
I'm just doing my job as an auditor.
Two.
14.
Yet again.
Why don't I ever win?
I need to set a trap for the president's dog.
When the hound is caught,
the hunter will come out of hiding.
(The Banker)
Someone sent me this text while hiding their number.
If the secret gets out,
it'll cause a huge damage to Daehan Bank's reputation.
I hear Ms. Han and Mr. Noh are very close.
Perhaps she's giving him hints.
Thank you for all the work you did until now.
Get out of the bank for now.
You tarnished the honor of Daehan Bank.
Shouldn't you take responsibility?
I'd like to propose the dismissal of Auditor Noh Dae Ho.
If you really want to protect Daehan Bank,
then you must unearth the truth.
