Ms. Do, you have Assemblyman Shin from Judiciary Committee on line.
Hold on. Mr. Byun, you should leave.
Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, Assemblyman Shin. - Hello, Ms. Do.
Thank you so much for your help.
My youngest daughter went to get her physical taken today.
I'll make sure to pay you back for your kindness...
for the rest of my life.
Also, while you're at it,
please look into the department...
my daughter will be placed in.
Okay. I'll...
make sure everything goes smoothly.
Gosh, thank you so much.
Thank you, Ms. Do.
No problem.
Due to the changes in the cut line,
there were 32 people that made it to the final interview.
Out of them, eight people passed.
The rest of the interviewees would've made it even without...
the changes to the cut line.
First of all, look at the people...
that passed the final interview thanks to the cut line changes.
Secondly, out of the final eight that passed,
I want you to check the score that was saved in our system...
and see if it matches the score they got during their interviews.
Also, we must check the candidates who have a major score gap...
between interviewers on the answers from the same question.
That's quite a lot to check.
Let's focus. This is an employment corruption.
Your friends or siblings...
were disqualified for no reason.
We must act fast...
to fix this problem. Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
What do we do next if we do find someone was favored...
from this employment corruption?
General Manager of HR and I will check one more time.
We'll watch the video that was taken during the interviews.
We can't have any more victims.
Yes, sir.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Anything new? - Hey, Mr. Noh.
Where are the interviewers?
I've called them all and they're waiting for you in the lecture room.
What should we do about Senior Director Do?
- I'll see Ms. Do separately. - Hey!
Noh Dae Ho!
Hey.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm asking you, Mr. Noh. What are you doing?
Ms. Do!
It's me who want to ask what you're doing.
What? What am I doing?
Are you done?
How dare you say that to me?
Mr. Kim. I already warned you, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
I came here ready to hand in my resignation letter.
I hope you're ready to do the same.
Of course, it won't end with just a resignation letter.
Are you kidding me?
Have you all gone crazy?
Excuse me, Daehan Bank's new hires?
Your physical exams have been canceled.
Please don't fill out your registration form.
Let me repeat.
Physical exams for Daehan Bank's new hires have been canceled.
Please don't fill out your registration form.
What is this? How annoying.
President Kang.
Mr. Noh is doing an emergency audit...
on the overall process of employing new staff.
So?
Up to now,
I think they're working on those who didn't make the final cut.
He also has the interviewers waiting in the lecture room.
It looks like he'll investigate the interviewers soon.
That means...
he already confirmed there was a hire done for a favor.
I think so.
What's Ms. Do doing?
Well...
Noh Dae Ho, do you have any idea what you're doing right now?
I'm warning you.
You're obstructing regular business operations.
It's you that's obstructing me from my auditing operations.
Please stop.
The auditor...
has the right to audit accounting that follows the executives' work,
and to also audit internal corruption...
directly related to your jobs. You must know this already.
Wake up, Mr. Noh.
What you see isn't everything.
- I'm doing this for the future. - The future?
I can't agree with such a hiring policy.
Also, this is the audit office,
and I'm not your subordinate.
Please watch how you address me.
Fine.
Mr. Noh.
You know it too, don't you?
Someone like her isn't just an ordinary new hire.
She's like an insurance in case something happens to the bank.
No. Using the relationships through someone like her...
to bury the bank's faults and run away...
from our responsibilities can't make her an insurance.
If the bank made a mistake,
then it must be responsible for what it did.
Be responsible?
How?
What if the bank must undertake a great loss...
and fire 30 percent of all the employees?
Do you think the audit office will be safe?
Someone has to get fired anyway.
Who should go first?
Him?
Or him?
Sure, we should fire your secretary first.
Remember all their faces...
and think about their families being kicked out to the streets.
When you can handle that,
then that's being responsible. Okay?
All of my family is in Gongju, Ms. Do.
If the bank must downsize...
and if I must fire someone on my team,
then I'll quit.
I'll be responsible.
What you just said is the most irresponsible answer.
Saying that you'll be responsible.
Do you know why?
Because it's just empty words.
It's obvious all the pain will be passed onto other people.
Don't you agree, Mr. Noh?
Ms. Do.
If there's a corrupted bank that needs...
personal connections to survive,
then I believe such a bank should go bankrupt.
Even if that's the case for Daehan Bank.
That's the only way to make our society healthy.
As long as I'm an auditor,
I'll keep to this principle.
What?
Did you just say you don't care...
even if Daehan Bank goes bankrupt?
Are you saying it's okay for our bank to be ruined...
just so you could protect your principles?
What kind of nonsense...
You're a traitor.
Fine.
I'll make sure to get all of you.
I'm Do Jung Ja.
The one in charge of Daehan Bank's HR.
I'll fire all of you first to protect the bank.
You better stay right here.
Okay?
Will... Will we be okay?
What if we're not?
Please look after this place.
I'll go meet the interviewers who are waiting for me.
Yes, Mr. Noh.
Jung Ja is scary.
I have to see Mr. Kang!
- Please calm down. - Let go!
- Please calm down. - I have to see Mr. Kang! Move!
Please calm down, Ms. Do.
Mr. Kang!
Mr. Kang. Mr. Kang!
Mr. Kang. Noh Dae Ho...
Please do something about Noh Dae Ho.
He just said that it's okay for Daehan Bank to go bankrupt.
He's ruining our bank!
Aren't you embarrassed in front of the employees?
Get up.
I don't care.
Mr. Kang.
You have to stop Mr. Noh now or we'll be in trouble.
What is Mr. Noh ruining?
Also,
you oversee HR.
Don't you know what an auditor does?
Wait...
What do you mean?
It means even the president can't do anything...
if the auditor is doing his job legally.
He's protected by the Commercial Code...
during his term as the auditor.
For his full tenure.
You know that much too, don't you?
What? That's not...
I'm tired. You should go.
What?
Wait.
President Kang.
This was all...
what you wanted.
Are you saying...
you'll act oblivious to it now?
Did you...
make me...
oversee the HR of Daehan Bank in the beginning to...
Do you think I gave you that position...
to cause such corruption?
No, sir.
No, that's not it.
It was you...
who introduced me to Assemblyman Shin.
I didn't make you the head of HR...
so you could do favors...
for politicians.
No, you didn't.
No...
Hold on. But this was all...
You're the one who ordered this.
This really was what you implicated!
I'm sorry.
I have an important meeting.
No.
Senior Director Do, please calm down.
No. Let go of me. Let go!
- What are you doing, Secretary Kim? - Let go.
Go on and see her out.
This was what you ordered me to do.
This was all your idea!
Let go of me! President Kang! Let go!
I apologize for calling you in suddenly...
for an abrupt interview. It is an important issue.
That's all I needed from you.
I heard that General Manager Byun filled in for you...
for the final round of the interviews?
Yes, he did.
General Manager Byun?
He's calling for you.
Sir,
I thought I should let you know.
The audit office is inspecting the employment corruption.
They say that Ms. Do was dragged out of the President's office too.
Oh, all right.
Gosh, that old fool.
They should have followed the job assignments I turned in.
What kind of humiliation is that?
I really didn't do anything wrong, sir.
If I was in it with Senior Director Do,
I would've been an interviewer from the beginning.
But I wasn't.
I was called in to the interviews in the middle of a meeting.
Ask the others.
I already know.
Then how did you mark the interviews?
I just...
- did as I was told. - As you were told?
Who told you?
Who do you think? It was...
Senior Director Do.
Are you saying that Senior Director Do...
told you to fabricate the interview scores?
Listen, sir. I have no idea whether the scores were fabricated...
or if they were real.
If a senior tells you to lower the scores,
you should lower them. How can you not?
If it were you, would you have not lower it?
I would've lowered the scores.
Yes. That's what I'm saying.
Gosh, I've been...
killing my own luck all this time.
He's a punk.
Not her, either.
(Daehan Bank Executives List)
(Han Jae Yeol)
(Han Soo Ji)
Director Han Soo Ji...
(Emergency Audit Announcement)
Ma'am, the President is calling for you.
All right.
Reporter Lee?
There will be an urgent press conference at our bank in an hour.
We have no time,
so will you put up a message in the reporters' group chat for me?
Put that down! What do you think you're doing?
Put that down! Let go!
What are you doing?
What if she gets hurt?
Move over.
Are you all right?
Do I look...
all right to you?
I apologize.
Just go on ahead...
and stop getting in my way.
Yes, ma'am.
I...
never hated you.
I just...
resented the fact that a smart girl like you...
was under Vice President Yook and not me.
Yes,
Senior Director Do.
Han Soo Ji.
Yes?
This is not a place...
where you can survive...
just because you have the skills...
or for obediently following orders.
It's not a place you can survive...
if you just work hard without realizing what you're doing.
Keep this in mind.
President Kang.
Don't trust President Kang.
And beware of that Noh Dae Ho,
who thinks he's got President Kang on his back.
Go on.
Go on and break this darned bank's...
glass ceiling.
And at any cost,
become the first female president...
of Daehan Bank for me.
Do you understand, Han Soo Ji?
Go on.
Go on and break it all down!
I have scheduled for the press conference to be held in an hour.
An employment corruption at our bank...
is the worst-case scenario possible.
If we don't handle the situation now,
it will get out of hand.
You have to tell them everything as is.
The outcome of issues like these mostly depend on time.
The rumors will be heard, anyways.
Continue.
We can't do anything about what's happened already.
Since the media doesn't know yet,
we have the initiative.
Sir, this case could actually be an opportunity.
Didn't you call me in for this?
That was very...
impressive, Director Han.
Calling in the press already and cornering me.
I didn't know you had such abilities.
You have great planning skills.
You should not hide the facts...
or be afraid of disgracing yourself.
But that doesn't mean you have to handle things yourself.
Meaning, you don't have to apologize yourself.
(Daehan Bank)
I am Noh Dae Ho, the auditor of Daehan Bank.
We have verified that there has been some malpractice...
during the recent recruiting process...
and I am here to announce the full details...
of what we have worked out so far.
According to the results of the audit,
we have confirmed that there was an illegal request,
along with a cut-off modification in the written test...
and fabrication on the interview results.
The audit office of Daehan Bank has requested...
an investigation on Senior Director, Do Jung Ja,
and is taking measures to improve the recruiting process.
You hold a different share, sir.
A thorough investigation will have to be done...
in order to find out who the illegal request is from.
And here beside me,
is Daehan Bank's President, Kang Sam Do,
who revealed the plain truth of this case.
Please give us a word.
I would like to think that Daehan Bank is most likely the only bank...
that fundamentally drove out...
an employment corruption with a strict audit system.
We will continue to be uncompromising...
towards anything that may harm our customers' benefits...
or the bank's honor.
Daehan Bank's top priority...
will be our customers' faith.
I'll pay for this.
Gosh.
(We would like to congratulate you for being the final candidate.)
What do you think you're doing?
The situation is worse than when Vice President Yook was here!
Listen closely, Assemblyman Jung.
Since when was it our job...
to hire candidates that are unqualified,
as a favor to politicians?
What did you just say?
President Kang.
Do you think I'm doing this just for me?
Judiciary Committee's Assemblyman Shin thinks of me as an insect.
What will you do about this?
Listen, friend.
That is your burden to bear.
That's for you to deal with.
Yelling like a petulant child...
won't solve any of your problems.
What did you say?
Shall we all calm down a bit?
Sir.
I'm not doing all this just for my sake.
I know that.
But...
it's not like President Kang did this on purpose.
And you didn't tip him off in the first place either.
No, sir!
The sly auditor who messed up our plans...
was appointed by President Kang!
Why are you blaming an employee at Daehan Bank?
If you want to blame someone, blame the shareholders.
Auditor Noh was appointed...
by the shareholders at a shareholder meeting.
What?
I heard the Prosecutors' Office is going to look into...
the one who asked favor in the hiring process.
I have an insider who received our scholarship.
I took measures to make sure that...
Assemblyman Shin's name doesn't come up.
Well done.
Are you...
- sure about that? - And...
Director Park.
Yes, sir.
- Watch your manners. - Pardon?
Shall I say it again?
Watch your manners.
Be polite!
It's not you that people fear,
it's the sword you wield, so tell the difference.
You won't have that sword forever!
Why?
Was there a problem?
- No, sir. - Kang Sam Do...
is your senior and anyone in finance knows that.
Kang Sam Do is Daehan Bank...
and Daehan Bank is Kang Sam Do!
Thank you so much, sir.
For what?
I only righted what was wrong.
Bo Geol told me,
but I didn't mention it for fear of making you feel burdened.
Please congratulate your daughter...
on making it into Daehan Bank.
Yes. I will tell her.
And...
I'll also tell her to become a good banker like you.
Oh, gosh, don't say that.
- We're late. Let's go. - Sure.
Due to our timely and apt way we coped with the situation,
the public sentiment and our image isn't too bad.
Director Han took quick action,
and...
Keep going.
We can't ignore Mr. Noh's contribution in the matter.
That's true.
The staff are beginning to show trust in him.
That's a good thing.
Even if it's just for show,
would you consider commending Director Han and Mr. Noh?
You'll get in trouble if Mr. Noh sees you there during work hours.
This feels amazing.
It's okay, Mi Ho.
This chair isn't for us.
President Kang bought this...
for the auditors from outside to use when they're here.
They aren't here right now.
We got to the bottom of the corrupt hiring process too.
I'm allowed to relieve some of my stress.
All you did was call the interviewers.
Yes, and one of them turned out to be the culprit.
You didn't call her. She came in herself.
I asked many times...
but Mr. Noh didn't give an answer.
And I still asked again.
Why? Because I felt it.
I kept asking if I should bring her in.
That's right. I trust Bo Geol's odd but accurate instinct.
You all did very well.
But as you know, other than our usual duties,
we're looking into something in secret that's very unofficial.
You all remember, right?
Something secret?
Do we still have something as enticing as that?
We do, Bo Geol.
That's why you're more useful in the field.
I listed up the branches...
in the lowest 20 percent that were closed, despite not doing too bad.
Okay. Well done.
Mr. Moon, your list has only two categories.
Those with connections to Senior Director Do...
and those without.
It's so difficult to tell them apart.
Ms. Jang, you worked here longest. Can you help out?
Of course. I'll ask my secretary friends and sort it out for sure.
Good. Once you do that,
we'll be left with branches that were closed for no reason.
Of course, there would be a reason.
That's what we must find out.
Seomin Distribution, the lead that Ms. Jin left us...
will be our first clue.
Just in case, keep a close eye on the server.
Yes, sir.
I'll visit the data center in Bucheon.
Ms. Jang, I know it's a hassle,
but can you visit the old lady again?
Yes, sir.
Shall we get to it, then?
Wait, wait.
What am I supposed to do?
You check the old lady's loan application papers.
("Daehan Bank's Corrupt Hiring")
(Vice President Lee Hae Gon)
This doesn't look at all like President Kang's style.
Who's behind it?
What brings you here?
President Kang called this morning.
Out of Senior Director Do's duties,
he hasn't yet decided whom to put in charge of HR.
He told me to help you with PR.
He didn't say anything about that to me.
Really?
Then call his office to check.
PR is a rough and tough field.
It's not easy for a woman to manage alone.
Do you know how sexist that remark was?
You're too touchy.
I'm saying it's easier to manage if there are 2 instead of 1.
Just get to the point.
Hand over your list of reporter contacts.
You dealt with the issue very well this time,
but we never know what'll happen in the future.
I also know a thing or two about how to deal with tough reporters.
I sent the list.
- Do you have more to say? - No.
Thank you.
Oh.
I'll just say something...
out of concern.
President Kang tests people sometimes.
It got me once and I went down.
His favors are poisonous, so don't accept it outright.
Wait until you're immune or when you're prepared.
Then accept the favor.
Director Han.
Remember what I said.
Take care.
What brings you here?
I dropped by to ask you a few questions.
I did nothing at all...
to be ashamed of...
Well,
I did do a few small bad things,
but I'm not...
brave enough to take part in a corruption this large a scale.
Do you remember...
the old lady who protested outside your branch?
Pardon?
Oh, it's about her?
I haven't seen her in a while.
She's in hospital.
Did she faint while protesting?
Yes, she did.
Oh, dear.
She's old,
and she was out there...
picketing every day, right in front of the bank.
It upset our other customers,
so I looked into what her protest was about.
Oh, you did?
I heard her story.
She wasn't wronged at all.
She actually got preferential treatment.
The person in charge actually treated her too well.
That's why he quit his banking job not long after...
the loan was approved.
Did he?
The branch manager at the time resigned not long after too.
Anyway,
things weren't as bad as...
the old woman made it look.
Let's drop by the Audit Office.
Like you said, I should commend the team.
Okay. Very well, sir.
Isn't the Audit Office on the 22nd floor?
Do I make you feel that uneasy?
No, sir.
You're such a bother.
- The numbers this time... - Six of them.
I apologize.
I'll tell them to come right in.
- No, don't. - Look.
They must all be busy.
- My goodness. - President Kang.
What brings you to this floor?
How are you doing?
We're fine.
It's my lucky day considering I got to see you.
Thank you.
You should clear it up now that the president's here.
What are you talking about?
It's nothing at all.
It's crass.
Why is it crass?
Everyone else does it.
It's okay. Tell me what you're talking about.
It's this right here.
We're playing the lottery.
Oh, the lottery.
I apologize, sir.
It's an ugly sight during work hours.
Everyone else was out, so we were betting on who buys lunch.
It was wrong of us.
I told you to throw it away.
No, it's fine.
I play the lottery myself sometimes.
- What? - Not to win a lot.
I just want to test my luck.
How can you bet on lunch with this?
They announce the winner a week later.
The one we're playing now is a bet for next week.
He's supposed to pay...
- for today's lunch. - I see.
I only won five dollars,
but you want to eat a 15-dollar chicken soup?
It's too much.
Hey, it's not too much.
Since you came all the way down here...
and you say you play the lottery time to time,
why don't you play with us...
to bet on next week's lunch?
Are you crazy?
He's was only saying that so that we don't feel embarrassed.
He's so slow, Mr. Kang.
It's okay.
A bet for lunch? Then,
Antler chicken soup? Or black rice chicken soup?
We'll do it automatically.
Mr. Kang, number 5 hasn't come out for 3 months.
You should make sure to put it in.
What are you saying?
Number 38 is the lucky one.
It came out the most.
I already made my choices. What do I do?
We'll have to make someone go buy a new one for you.
Who?
- Me? - Okay.
How is she doing?
She just fell asleep.
Just like last time, she says she only needs Shin Hyun Do.
All she wants is his apology.
All she needs is Shin Hyun Do's apology?
(Report on Yongbuk Branch's Protestor)
Okay, I better go back to my office now.
Playing the lottery with you was a lot of fun.
Manual or automatic.
Gosh, gosh. You should go, Mr. Kang.
Okay.
By the way,
there was something strange.
What was it?
At the time, there was a rumor...
about this area going into redevelopment.
Of course, it didn't happen.
- And? - If it went into redevelopment,
then they wouldn't have needed the loan.
What does that have to do with the loan?
Because that person...
got a loan to build a building.
Who would put up a new building on the property...
that's going to be redeveloped?
Wouldn't some people do that to get a bigger compensation?
Well, that's a possibility,
but it'd be too risky...
to get a loan to build a building...
just based on a rumor.
On top of that, the bank tellers got some land as collateral...
so they approved a bigger loan for her.
Could the loan be so big when the collateral value isn't as much?
It's not easy.
The branch manager...
wouldn't be able to approve it right away.
It will take some time from the Evaluation Department too.
I'm sure there were many problems.
Maybe that's why the person who was in charge quit.
Who was in charge?
Just a second.
I wrote down the person's name.
Here it is. "Shin Hyun Do".
It was Shin Hyun Do.
Shin Hyun Do's apology?
She says she'll forgive everything if he comes to apologize.
However, where can we find him?
- I know where. - What?
Hangang Credit Information.
- Hello. - You jerk.
Did I borrow money from you?
I borrowed money from the credit card company.
Why do you keep on calling me, demanding money?
That's not it, sir.
I... Hello?
- I'm sorry but we can't approve. - This is the package...
- Yes, of course. - Yes, ma'am.
(Audit Office)
- Gosh. - I'll get going now.
Thank you. Thank you.
Did he say anything else after I left?
Well,
he just went around once then went upstairs.
I see. Okay.
All right, this is for next week.
Okay, let's see.
Okay.
(Lottery)
I believe the audit office...
recently did an audit on security.
But it looks like their security is poor...
around their internal secrets.
Did you happen to see it?
Since when did Mr. Noh investigate this?
I looked at it in detail, and it was only a coincidence.
You can consider it as a regular civil complaint.
It better be.
If the D1 Plan leaks out to the world...
and someone gets hurt by it,
then whoever that may be...
will try to take down...
Daehan Bank with them.
It'll cause a great problem.
Daehan Bank's...
dignity and reputation will hit rock bottom.
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
Is it you who came for me?
Mr. Shin Hyun Do?
- Yes, that's me. - I see.
I'm an auditor at Daehan Bank. My name is Noh Dae Ho.
- An auditor? - Yes.
It's been a while since I quit Daehan Bank.
Why did you want to see me?
Do you remember the old lady...
that ran a blood sausage soup restaurant?
An old lady that runs a blood sausage soup restaurant?
Ma'am.
I have to go back to the office because lunch time is over.
I'll come visit when I'm off.
Thank you.
You...
listened to my story and looked after me.
It's nothing.
Also, you'll be discharged in a few days.
I'll help you get organized.
Also, Mr. Noh will call his driver...
to help you get home.
Thank you.
I believe you were the one in charge of giving her the loan.
I'm hoping you could tell me how the process went in detail.
Excuse me.
I no longer work for the bank.
Even if you're the auditor,
you can't call me out when I'm at work.
You have no right to do this.
I'm sorry.
I apologize if I was rude.
Forget it. You should just leave.
It's the busiest time right now.
When can I come back to listen to your story?
Sir.
There's no way I'll see you again.
It's not like I have good memories about Daehan Bank.
It's all in the past. I don't want to talk about it.
You know that her husband died, don't you?
What? What did you say?
I believe it was partially due to the shock...
when her son was arrested.
Her husband died,
and her son was arrested?
Why are you telling me this?
Are you telling me to feel guilty?
I just thought you probably wouldn't know.
Anyway, that's what happened.
What about the old lady?
- What about her? - She's at the hospital.
Is she by herself?
Yes.
Actually, I wasn't going to say this,
but the old lady...
demands that you give her an apology.
I don't know what the exact reason is.
That's why I decided...
to come and see you in person to ask what happened.
It still doesn't have anything to do with me.
Thanks to that, I'm suffering here after quitting the bank.
Please don't ever come find me again.
Auditor Noh!
I looked through the loan document of the lady,
and I couldn't find anything particular.
There's nothing wrong with it.
The Yongbuk Branch manager told me...
the loan was bigger than the collateral.
What? Really?
If you already checked,
then why did you tell me to do it?
To cross-check, okay?
Why don't you step back, okay?
I'm sorry to bother you.
She's getting out of the hospital soon.
I told Mr. Park to help her out as you told me.
Good job, Ms. Jang.
Anyways, the document was solid.
And all the staff quit,
so there's nothing to check, really.
Well...
I feel like this isn't over.
All right, fill up your glasses.
What's more to life?
We drink and we die here!
Let's keep it up, gentlemen!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Cheers! - Yes!
- Let's drink! - Nice!
Let's drink to death, people!
To the death!
Thank you.
Can we talk for a minute, Vice President?
Where do you belong to?
I'm a freelancer.
A freelancer?
I don't remember inviting a freelancer.
It was my junior who was invited.
He thought I would be more interested,
and set up a meeting.
So, what did you want to tell me?
Maybe I've been a freelancer for too long.
I'm having a hard time remembering...
whether it was fine with the reporters to drink this much,
since there's the Kim Young Ran Act and all that.
Is that why you're here?
All right, go and write about it.
Aren't you curious about who's watching Kang Sam Do's back?
What are you saying?
I've been tracking down...
the connection between the political and financial world.
And I was lucky enough to find out...
some of Kang Sam Do's secrets.
And that's why I'm here.
Aren't you curious about who's watching Kang Sam Do's back?
Why don't you get more creative, Mr. Freelance Reporter?
And stop following the tracks of Kang Sam Do.
Why did you think I'd be interested in who's watching his back?
I'm the Vice President of Daehan Bank.
Kang Sam Do is still the President of our bank.
Do you hear what I'm saying, Mr. Freelance Reporter?
I've been watching you since your entrance to your exit,
and even your splendid return back to Daehan Bank...
all along.
Vice President Lee, I thought you'd be different,
after seeing how you've dismissed a number of executives right away.
I'm disappointed in you.
What the heck are you talking about?
So what you're saying is...
I should show my hostility against Mr. Kang in front of the press?
I'm wasting my time here.
Think of this information as a return for today's drinks.
Bae Dong Seok from Seomin Policy Institute.
Remember this name.
If anyone stabs you from behind,
the chance of it being Mr. Bae, who's affiliated with Mr. Kang,
is almost 99 percent.
(Bae Dong Seok from Seomin Policy Institute)
You've done a great job.
Take your friends out to eat with this.
Thank you very much.
I've been thinking...
and I can't leave the position of Ms. Do empty for so long.
I did tell Vice President Lee...
to help you with it.
But I think it's time...
for me to pick one.
I see.
How about you fill the spot as head of the HR Department?
What do you say?
What?
His favors are poisonous, so don't accept it outright.
I...
I'm afraid I might not be the one.
What do you mean?
I lack the capability, knowledge, and experience...
to be the head of Daehan Bank's HR Department.
I'm just not good enough.
You're a modest woman.
Do you really think you're not good enough?
Yes, President Kang.
All right, you can leave now.
That was unexpected.
She's very wise, Director Han.
I hope I wasn't...
being played by Vice President Lee.
Here we are, sir.
This is the building you told me to find.
I'll find a way home.
You can go home now.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Bae Dong Seok from Seomin Policy Institute.
Remember this name.
If anyone stabs you from behind,
the chance of it being Mr. Bae, who's affiliated with Mr. Kang,
is almost 99 percent.
How may I help you?
I'm here for Mr. Bae Dong Seok.
- The Chief of Administration? - Right.
- Do you have an appointment? - No.
Tell him that I'm from Daehan Bank.
Look who it is.
I'm surprised to see one of President Kang's men.
He could've talked on the phone.
President Kang Sam Do?
Is he really affiliated with this man?
I don't think I've seen you before.
Right, what is wrong with me?
Vice President Yook was fired a while ago.
I'm Bae Dong Seok.
Mr. Kang must have sent you to meet me for the first time.
It's nice to meet you.
He knows about Mr. Yook?
Hey, kid.
This isn't a staring contest.
From now on,
you will take your hands off on everything related to Daehan Bank.
As long as I'm in Daehan Bank,
I will not overlook any of the...
abnormal actions.
Believe me when I say this. This is a warning.
Who the heck is that?
Look around and let me know.
Yes.
You go ahead.
Hold on.
What is it?
Did you send anyone from the bank?
What?
Who?
We never sent anyone.
Some guy just came by saying that he was from the bank.
And he's telling me to take my hands off of Daehan Bank.
- What? - Who the heck was that?
I bet it's Noh Dae Ho.
It's Noh Dae Ho.
What? Who's Noh Dae Ho?
He's an auditor of our bank.
I think he's investigating our D1 plan.
Well, you should've taken care of it!
What were you doing until now? He's on me now!
He's an auditor. Even the President can't touch him.
I told you we needed to execute as soon as possible.
You let this happen after delaying your work.
He wasn't part of the plan,
and we didn't know this would happen!
If the auditor knows about me,
it means it's been going on for too long.
Just so you know, I'll take care of this.
What do you mean?
You'll go ahead with this alone?
Rather than waste time doing nothing like you guys,
it's better if I deal with it.
I'm hanging up.
Your food's here.
Enjoy.
Eat all you want.
(Soju)
It's not the same without this, is it?
You shouldn't be drinking during work hours.
You bankers must have it easy these days.
I didn't ask for it, did I? He brought me a bottle.
Even if he did, you should've said no thank you.
You were going to drink it anyway.
Come on.
If you want a drink,
come here after work hours, after the bank closes.
Then I'll bring you a whole crate of soju.
- Do you mean that? - I mean it.
Would I lie to you?
- What? - What!
I'll go and close the bank right now and come back.
Don't be silly.
Eat up and go back to work.
- Mr. Shin. - Yes?
Come and see me.
You know...
the blood sausage soup place on the road, don't you?
Well, kind of.
What's the matter?
Take care of a loan.
Pardon?
Their business is doing pretty well.
Why would they apply for a loan?
If this loan goes through,
I'll adjust the cut-off point so that...
you meet your annual loan target.
You will really?
Can you really do that, sir?
I can. Handle the loan.
But...
what should I say it's for when there is no demand for funds?
Everything has been arranged.
You arrange for the loan and get the building built.
We can say...
we'll guarantee that the stores will be leased out.
Pardon?
Is that possible?
You don't have to worry about that.
Get them to take out the loan.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
The old lady...
demands that you give her an apology.
I don't know what the exact reason is.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm...
determined to...
get your apology.
You can't just walk off.
Before my husband died,
he left a message for you.
Come and hear it.
Don't blame Hyun Do.
Hyun Do.
Don't blame him.
He just works for a salary.
He only did what his company told him to do.
If you want to blame someone,
blame me.
Okay.
How could you not visit once...
to his graveyard?
That's why I said...
I wanted you to apologize.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Sorry.
Mr. Shin.
I transferred you to inbound because...
your outbound performance was good.
Are you slacking off after just a few days?
Don't you see the calls flooding in?
Hey. Come back.
Get back here. Mr. Shin!
(Auditor Noh Dae Ho)
That's the list of...
closed branches that had connections with Senior Director Do.
Five branches other than the Gongju branch...
were closed for no reason.
(List of Closed Branches)
(Daehan Bank)
Mr. Shin Hyun Do.
I will tell you everything.
I visited the old lady yesterday and apologized.
It's very late, but I want to reveal the truth.
What is this?
Just a few years ago, a private enterprise...
was put in charge of...
a large-scale development plan.
If word got out, the price of the land...
would obviously skyrocket.
So over a long period of time, small parcels of land...
were quietly bought up by corporate bodies.
If I remember correctly,
the developer was Seomin Finance.
The corporate body was a place called Seomin Agency.
- Seomin Agency? - Seomin Agency...
We thought it would be easy,
but a problem arose.
The plot in the center.
The owners here refused to sell the land,
no matter what happened.
This plot that the developer really had to purchase...
was the old lady's blood sausage soup restaurant.
Ma'am, I think we have to leave.
Something came up and Mi Ho's running late.
So the developer changed tactics.
They decided to take it from them.
They pressured the couple into taking out a loan...
to build a building.
The one to convince them...
was me.
The family gave into my persuasion...
and took out a loan and built a building.
But for some reason, no one moved in.
And the old couple were unable to pay back their loan principal.
The land they'd given up as collateral...
was auctioned off.
They lost everything.
How could a bank take the lead...
to do something worse than robbery?
When did you realize that what you were doing was wrong?
I didn't dream that...
what I was doing would...
cause the family harm.
The seat you're sitting in now...
is where Mr. Noh sits.
This is where...
the high and powerful people sit.
There's no designated place...
for the high-up or the low-down.
That's true.
Whoever sits there is high up.
That means that right now, I'm higher up than you.
Yes.
But there was a variable that even they hadn't thought of.
What was that?
Somehow, rumors spread that there would be a large development.
Too many people participated in the auction to bid for the plot.
The developers barely won the plot by putting up over twice of what...
they had expected to pay.
It's not like...
they can get back the land they lost.
That's true. But...
they weren't able to change the division registration.
Because...
the loan we gave out was worth more than the land,
so the plan was to take the land that was the collateral,
and then get a provisional attachment on the building.
But because they paid double just to get the land,
the loan was fully repaid,
and the building which was under division registration...
had legal superficies.
Therefore, they weren't able to touch it.
So they got the land,
but not the building built on it.
Yes.
It's fortunate that...
the old lady still has that.
If she can get tenants to lease her property,
then she might survive the worst.
Who is this "they" that...
you keep referring to, Mr. Shin?
Seomin Finance...
and whoever is behind them.
Ms. Higher-up, who's sitting in a special seat.
You're almost home.
Right over that hill...
What's that bright light and smoke?
I don't know...
who exactly those people are.
The branch manager at the time...
knows for sure.
I'm positive.
Bad news. The old lady's building is on fire.
- Mister. - This is terrible.
Oh, no. What is happening?
What now?
What should I do now?
Mister!
Oh, no. This is terrible.
Oh, no...
- Ma'am! - Ma'am!
- What should I do? - Ma'am.
- What am I to do? - Ma'am.
What should be done now?
What do we do?
At an area that was redeveloped for the better of the community,
someone will lose their living foundations.
When they can't pay back the loan,
their houses will be sold through an auction.
Being kicked onto the streets will feel like...
a bolt from the blue, even if it only happens once.
But here at the bank, it's just one daily operation that happens...
dozens of times each day.
That's why it's our duty to straighten things out...
for the people who were hurt, or who feel wronged...
due to a mistake made by the bank.
(The Banker)
If Daehan Bank is really associated with this case,
we must eradicate the person that was in charge.
This is something that could shake up the foundation of our bank.
What can a mere auditor do?
I'm sure some people will help.
If you go to the office in Seosomun,
many real estate related documents will still be there.
It's partially my fault.
I'll try my best to cooperate with this case.
Mr. Noh. Enough is enough. Just bury it.
