(Episode 17)
(Vice-president Han Soo Ji)
"Vice-president..."
"Han Soo Ji".
President Kang.
How do you feel?
- Oh, well... - People might be...
strongly against this.
Don't get intimidated. I've got your back.
Yes, sir.
Regarding our expansion to India...
which we didn't get to finalize due to my business trip abroad,
I'd like to make a final decision today.
That's why I called this executives' meeting.
I hope...
you're well-informed of today's agenda.
Why don't you just go straight to the point?
I know you'll decide it on your own anyway.
Since that's what you want,
I'll go straight to the point.
I'd like our bank...
to go for it.
Do state your opinions...
if you have any.
President Kang.
I don't think it's time to discuss India expansion right now.
It's not time to discuss India expansion?
Having you express it like that,
I'm not feeling so good.
President Kang,
you say it yourself that it's significant,
but why would you decide it on your own authority?
Are you taking our opinions only as a reference?
I'd never take your opinions...
as a reference.
It's only a process...
to take responsibility...
for the final decision.
This is crazy. This is insane.
What's crazy?
I sold a tent for 50 dollars,
but the buyer wired 5,000 dollars.
Really?
I guess they made a mistake.
Both the buyer and the seller...
are the same thoughtless people.
Give the money back.
If you take it, you'll be punished for theft.
I'm not taking it. Do you think I'm like you?
See? I got a text.
And I'm returning it right away.
What do you take me for?
President Kang.
Deciding whether to expand our business to India...
isn't an important matter right now.
What is important then?
Is there anything more important than...
Daehan Bank's future strategy?
Of course, there is.
There's something more important.
It's you, Ms. Han.
Personnel is everything.
Ms. Han, it hasn't even been a while...
since you became an executive.
How did you get promoted as vice-president?
Besides, you took a leap and skipped the CFO position.
What did you do to make such a thing happen?
I didn't do anything to make it happen.
I've been appointed so that I could do something.
Do you understand?
Burying yourself in your comfortable chair,
you do nothing but approve your subordinates' reports.
Is that why you don't see how the world changes?
What did you say?
- Han Soo Ji, how dare you say that? - Treat me...
with manners,
CFO Kang.
Like this.
She's unbelievable.
The bank is losing its order.
When you work at a company,
you should be able to predict...
how long it will take for you...
to be promoted to a certain position.
You should also be able to have expectations...
that you'll reach at a certain point after some time.
That way, you get motivated...
to work harder.
Exactly.
The seniority system is being neglected in this company.
Its future cannot be bright.
CFO Kang,
what did you just say?
Its future cannot be bright?
You're working at the company which you don't think has a bright future.
Tell me. What are you thinking, present in this meeting?
I was promoted as vice-president.
Anyone would think it's shocking.
That's right.
I'm well aware of it.
Your attitude doesn't look like you're well aware of it.
Vice-president Lee.
As soon as you joined the bank,
you fired employees.
Oh, right. Some of them were executives.
And what changed?
When you were inaugurated,
you said as if you'd change something any moment.
But nothing changed.
Daehan Bank is a conglomerate bank.
The organizational culture cannot be changed overnight.
No.
If you, higher-ups, change,
the bank will change immediately.
Did you know female tellers have cystitis...
because they have no time to go to a restroom?
It's a well-known secret...
that customer service agents have tinnitus...
because they have to answer too many calls.
Those dogsbodies...
work hard all the time.
Like most ordinary citizens,
our employees work hard too.
The problem is...
you, who are sitting right here.
Are you politicians or what?
Are you congressmen?
You have no intention to work.
You're crazy about office politics and finding a place...
to fill yourself after retirement.
What have you been doing all along?
Han Soo Ji!
You have no right to talk rudely like this.
I told you to treat me with courtesy.
- CFO Kang. - Hold on a second.
Excuse me.
In hopes to calm you down,
I'd like to say a word.
Will it be okay, President Kang?
Is it your opinion...
- as the auditor? - No, sir.
I'd like to say a word as the employee of Daehan Bank.
- Go on. - Thank you.
I recently had a chance...
to read the personnel evaluation records...
done by the head office and the branches...
regarding what happened to Kim Jeong Sik of Nogyung Branch.
When I took a look at them,
those who didn't get promoted even after working 4 to 5 years...
received high evaluation results...
regardless of their performances.
Why?
Because they needed to be promoted.
That way, their subordinates will be given their chance.
Employees with good performances eventually conform themselves...
to the custom in a year or two.
They quickly realize...
that their evaluation results won't be high...
unless their turn comes.
From this perspective,
multi-dimensional evaluation...
was useless.
That's right, Auditor No.
Thanks for your comment. Now sit down.
That's exactly my point.
Securing his position for almost 10 years,
President Kang Sam Do...
has formed this kind of organizational culture.
Yet...
he's done another groundless appointment.
Now he's sitting back...
as if it has nothing to do with him.
No, that is the reason why...
President Kang appointed me.
Drop your sophistry.
You were once Mr. Yook's person.
You barely avoided responsibility, and now what, vice-president?
I thought you were quite good at office politics.
It's not your case anymore, is that it?
As long as I'm the vice-president in charge of personnel,
all the existing personnel policies...
will be terminated as of this moment.
I'm going to abandon the seniority system...
and set a new system solely based on performance.
Assistant managers and section chiefs will be...
promoted as an executive if they show good enough performances.
Even those first-year newbies...
can become a senior manager...
if they have ideas and initiative.
The controversy over Ms. Han's promotion.
Are you going to let it pass like this?
Wait...
and see.
Even if it happens for real,
dedication and loyalty towards you will be a yardstick for promotion.
In the end, what you want is to promote people...
who suit your palate.
Did you say loyalty will be...
a yardstick for promotion?
Do you think I put you in that position...
because you were loyal to me?
Because you suited my palate?
Ms. Han has the most precise grasp...
of the bank business...
of all the executives right here.
If any one of you...
can be better at personnel affairs than her,
step forward immediately.
I'll put you in that position.
Why can't a former high school graduate teller...
become a vice-president?
What kind of world is that?
I put her in that position...
so that executives like you cannot abuse your power...
to commit employment corruption!
Do you understand?
President Kang promotes only those who suit his palate...
to keep them by his side?
Vice-president Lee.
Can you still say that...
to Auditor No sitting right there?
When President Kang...
recommended him as an auditor,
most of you...
Well, of course,
some people weren't there at that time.
Most of you brought up seniority and qualification...
to be against his appointment.
As you know,
Auditor No...
has done some things that no other auditors couldn't.
And even now.
Let me ask. Would it have been possible...
if it hadn't been...
for President Kang's discerning eye?
Carrie, my comfy sweetheart.
Take care.
Hello?
This is Yeongdeungpo Police Station. Are you Seo Bo Geol?
Police station?
This is Seo Bo Geol.
You've been reported for violating...
the Electronic Financial Transaction Act.
I need you to come to the station for the investigation immediately.
I violated the Electronic Financial Transaction Act?
What is that?
I think you got the wrong person.
Your bank account was used...
as a fake deposit account for voice phishing.
I just suspended...
the corresponding account.
All your other bank accounts...
will be restricted from any transactions as of this moment.
A fake deposit account?
Look.
I'm a banker of Daehan Bank.
Why in the world would I use such a thing?
An hour ago, a senior citizen was...
scammed by a voice phishing ring...
and wired 5,000 dollars to your bank account.
You deducted 50 dollars from the money as commission...
and wired the rest to the ring. Am I wrong?
50 dollars as commission?
What do you take me for?
I'm Seo Bo Geol, the son of Gongju.
Besides, the 50 dollars...
- is for the tent. - Gosh.
Whether it's for the tent or commission,
it's true that yours was used as a fake deposit account.
Come to the station as soon as possible...
for the investigation.
What...
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Why do I have to go there?
You may be subjected for criminal punishment.
If you really are a victim,
come to the station and explain your situation soon.
Do you understand?
I can never go to jail. Mark my word.
If you're done sending the tent, come back quickly.
Busan Data Center is far away from here.
Data Center, my foot. I have to go to jail right now.
Mom, what do I do?
How did the meeting go?
You seem like you've talked a lot.
Do I look so?
Yes, you look totally exhausted.
I did say a few words.
Why haven't you let for Busan yet?
Well, that's...
Mr. Seo is still out of contact.
He's out of contact?
Yes.
Maybe he got into some kind of an accident.
I doubt it.
He sent me a text.
He sent me this text...
and turned his phone off.
That gives us no choice.
You should head out first, Mr. Moon.
I'll send Mr. Seo there when I find him.
Yes, sir.
The Audit Team has sent someone to Busan Data Center.
I asked the general manager of Tech Team for cooperation first.
Okay.
Check the evening schedule...
of Auditor No.
Yes, sir.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E17 'The Banker' "Would You Like to Go to America?" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Are you working until late hours today?
President Kang.
What brings you all the way down here?
- I was about to leave work. - I see.
If you don't have any plans for dinner,
how about we have a drink?
Are you saying D1 Plan...
stands for Daehan Bank One Building?
That's right.
Now I'm getting it.
Right?
Daehan Bank is still maintaining its state before the merger.
And because the old head offices are separate and independent,
it's losing quite a lot of work forces.
They plan to construct a huge building...
and gather the scattered head offices,
departments, and labor forces together.
Bingo.
And the district has been approved for development again.
Hold on.
They just have to purchase a land and construct a building on it.
What's the big deal about it...
that they got rid of the papers and carried it out in secret?
Is it worth making such a fuss?
And what's this Seomin Finance?
To find it out, I must head to the States right now.
The States? Why?
The person who wrote the proposal is currently living in the States.
Head there right now.
Isn't that Bo Geol?
Hey, Bo Geol.
What are you doing here? Aren't you going home?
Mr. Park.
Why would you have cup noodles here on this bench?
What's this soju for? You're making yourself look miserable.
Go to a bar or something.
You have enough money for that.
Things happened.
And...
I'm broke.
What are you saying?
You should've told me if you wanted to have a drink.
- Do you want me to buy you a drink? - What?
I can't let you do that.
I told you I'd treat you to a good one...
regarding Bo Ram's incident.
What a nice timing. Let's go have a drink.
(Busan Data Center, Daehan Bank)
We're closed for today. Visit tomorrow.
I work at the Audit Team of Daehan Bank.
I sent you an official notice too.
It can't be confirmed right now. Come visit tomorrow.
- I mean, I sent... - Visit during the business hours.
Here. Let's clink.
I still remember...
when you were...
a banker.
You used to brag about how you took...
abacus calculation lessons.
That impressed me the most.
People don't know much about abacus calculation these days,
but around that time,
we used an abacus for calculation in the office from time to time.
That's right.
That banker has become an auditor,
and he's now...
a friend of mine...
whom I can have a drink with.
Coming to think of it,
both when I first joined the bank...
and even now as the auditor,
you've been of great help to me.
How was the executives' meeting today?
People were furious.
When I recommended you for an auditor position,
it was...
way worse than today.
Really?
I didn't know.
Because I didn't think...
it was necessary to tell you that.
You must have my bottle stored here under the name, Yook Gwan Sik.
Mr. Park.
Can we do this?
Mr. Yook's former chauffeur couldn't drink,
so we, the other chauffeurs,
take turns and visit here from time to time.
Still, you can't...
Give us your free drinking snacks.
What if he comes here himself and claims his bottle?
What then?
He can't come.
He's in prison.
Prison...
Right.
I've forgotten it for a while.
What, do you know anyone in prison?
Yes, I do.
Someone who got involved in a criminal act.
Really?
Whoever that is, they're going to suffer.
You know, I had a fling back in my days.
I heard this from one of my juniors.
When you go to jail,
your life won't be easy.
There's this game which prisoners play in jail.
Enough. That's enough.
Come on, it's a funny story.
I'm not sure...
if he was joking or serious, but he said...
they'd catch two thumb-sized cockroaches...
and have them race on the floor.
Those cockroaches would...
move swiftly at first and flap their wings in the end.
Do you mind if I talk about something personal?
Why not?
I hear your ex-wife is gravely ill.
That's right.
Actually,
my wife passed away a long time ago.
Mr. No.
I know your salary is not too low,
but if you become a branch manager in America,
your salary will be twice as much...
as you get now.
Korean hospitals are not bad,
but you can also send your wife to American hospitals..
Also,
I heard you have a daughter.
It'll be helpful...
for her education as well.
President Kang.
Are you just saying this,
or do I have to seriously think about it?
If you decide...
to go to America,
I'll process it right away.
I want you to really think about it.
That's enough.
I can't be in prison with all those cockroaches.
I'd rather...
stow away.
Where should I go?
Miryang?
That's a good idea.
Are you done already?
It takes shorter when you are older.
It also gets weaker too.
Did you hear everything I said?
So, then, are you on board with me...
about stowing away?
Yes, Miryang is nice.
But Busan is right below it.
You should go there.
What?
I should go to Busan to stow away?
Of course.
Busan is the best.
All right, then.
Busan for stowing away!
President Kang.
Are you okay?
Were you waiting for him this long?
Well, that's my job anyway.
Let's go.
President Kang.
About D1 Plan Approval Request...
we talked about...
Mr. No.
He's really drunk right now.
I don't think he'll answer you properly.
You copied it before from Document Storage Room.
Can you just look at it again?
Oh, right, he seems so drunk.
Okay, then, Mr. Kim.
Take good care of him.
Have a good night.
(Daehan Bank)
Today, you have...
a meeting with Indian investment officials,
and a visit to some branches you told me.
Can you not tell them that I'm visiting?
Well, India is not simply a large populated country.
But, instead, it's also wide.
The best partner could be different,
depending on where you are planning to establish your corporation.
We're thinking of starting up by establishing...
branches in Delhi,
Chennai and Mumbai.
It'll be great if you could suggest our offer to local banks...
based on our conditions and the areas we're interested in.
Sure, let's see what we can do for you.
Thank you.
You copied it before from Document Storage Room.
Can you just look at it again?
How did Mr. Kim know that we copied it?
Is it really...
the work of non-executive auditors?
Mr. No, what should we do?
Mr. Seo still isn't answering his phone.
Seo Bo Geol, you punk.
Can you make it as annual leave?
Also, can you please...
keep trying to call Seo Bo Geol?
Yes, sir.
Do you think he doesn't answer his phone,
because he got into an accident?
It's stunningly beautiful.
Now, I just need to get a boat.
I want to go back.
Hey, you.
When you're done being cool, come here and get some raw fish.
I'm not trying to being cool.
And I don't have any money.
What are you talking about?
This is top-tier security area.
You need to move in pairs.
It says on your paper that you have to move in pairs.
You said yesterday that I was too late,
and now you're telling me that I need to move in pairs?
We're just following the policy.
(Busan Data Center)
Okay.
By policy.
What brought you here, Mr. No?
I don't think you changed your mind.
I'm here to ask for your help.
My help?
That's good.
I was going to tell you something anyway.
- Have a seat. - It's okay.
One of my employees is...
at Busan Data Center right now,
and they won't let him in because he's alone.
Why did he go there?
We need to find some data there.
Is it about Mr. Kang?
At this stage,
I can't really tell you anything for sure.
Okay,
I'll call the head in charge.
He owes me something before so, he won't say no.
- Thank you. - You don't need to.
Mr. No.
You saw it at the last meeting, right?
Ms. Han and Mr. Kang were having power over everyone.
You and I are the only people...
who can stop that in this bank.
Keep that in mind.
I'm always on your side.
Okay.
You said you had something to tell me.
Let's just solve the Busan matter first.
Hi, can I speak to the head in charge?
What? Mr. Lee?
Then find another way to stop them.
Strengthen the access authority,
and have one of you follow him every second.
Do you hear me?
(Schedule report)
Is she not getting any better?
I'm afraid so.
It's not positive.
I think maybe,
if you can afford it,
it might be better to go to America.
America?
No, I'm not going.
Don't you want to see Han Sol going through college?
What?
Did the doctor say I won't even make it until then?
No, what are you talking about?
I just wanted you to be there in a better, healthier condition.
We're not married anymore.
Paying for my hospital bills is more than enough.
You don't have to try this hard.
Besides,
I don't want to be alone in a foreign country,
away from Han Sol.
We can all go to America together.
What are you talking about?
Actually,
I got an offer from the president to be a branch manager in America.
As soon as I resign from this auditor job...
Your president...
must have some shady things to hide.
He's trying to send an auditor away to America.
(Episode 18 will air shortly.)
Your president...
(Episode 18)
must have some shady things to hide.
He's trying to send an auditor away to America.
Hey.
I'm not going anyway.
I don't want to cause you trouble.
And I don't want to owe anything to your bank.
I can't stand that.
Is she that bad?
No, it's not like that.
Don't worry.
By the way, I'm sorry I'm causing you trouble...
for my personal business.
You are not causing any trouble.
I go wherever you go, you know.
I'll drive you...
anywhere you go.
Thank you for saying that.
I wish...
I can console you better,
but I'm not good at talking and I don't really know anything.
But still, you know,
I live with Bo Ram alone as well.
I know how you feel right now,
better than anyone.
Cheer up, Mr. No.
She'll get better.
Sure, thank you.
You didn't get to have lunch, did you?
Let's go somewhere to eat.
Shall we?
Vice-president Han.
It's a nice surprise.
I wanted to see how things are going as a vice-president.
I see.
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hi.
Hi, Vice-president Han.
Hi.
I first started my career in this bank...
at the very desk you're sitting behind...
right now.
- Did you know that? - Oh, really?
It's an honor, Vice-president Han.
Don't neglect your studies on relevant certificates...
to inform customers of financial planning.
And try hard on self-improvement as well.
Let's keep it up!
Yes, Vice-president.
Vice-president Han,
since you are here,
do you want to have lunch together with us?
Oh, it's already lunch time.
Let's have lunch then.
If you all have time, join us for lunch now.
I'll buy you some nice lunch.
- Come join us. - Okay.
You know,
whenever I over-drink,
I crave hamburgers the next day.
It's so good, right?
I like hamburgers too.
Hamburgers for a hangover.
Well, that's quite unique.
- Who did you... -...drink with?
With Bo Geol.
Did you drink with Seo Bo Geol?
Yes.
Is something wrong?
He was out of reach all day yesterday.
I thought he might have been in an accident.
Where is he now?
I don't know about that.
He said he was going...
to go to Miryang or Busan or something.
I'm pretty sure he went to Busan.
I should scold him when he comes back.
I brought him to Seoul because he wanted to come to Seoul.
Huh.
Mr. No.
You should look after Bo Geol.
Huh?
He seems...
to have a lot going on in his head.
And when Bo Ram got into this bank,
he took care of her a lot.
He did?
How is Bo Ram anyway?
Of course.
She's been so good thanks to you.
Actually,
she works at the branch right across from here.
Oh, really?
Should we go there after this then?
Let's go see how she works.
Really?
Are you really going to do that with me?
Number 86,
please, come to the counter number 6.
Good afternoon.
I want it all in cash.
It's 30,000 dollars in total.
Can you sign the same signature you did on your payment voucher...
to this precaution for withdrawing cash, please?
Right here?
I'll go check on the safe while you read it.
Okay.
(Voice phishing withdrawer /Call the police)
This is Daehan Bank Eun Gwang Branch.
I think we have a voice phishing withdrawer here.
Can you send the police here?
We'll keep him as long as we can.
Okay.
Where's my cash?
Is something wrong?
- No, it's just... - What is it then?
What are you doing, Bo Ram?
Give this gentleman his cash.
Did the sub-manager...
go to the bathroom again?
What are you?
I'm an employee here.
We need a key...
to get into the safe.
The sub-manager got the key,
but he went to the bathroom now.
What?
He went to the bathroom with the key?
(Daehan Bank)
Oh, he just sent the key.
I'll go and get it.
I guess he knew your busy.
He sent the key...
from the bathroom.
That's amazing.
Whatever, just give me my money.
Do you want me to put them in an envelope?
No, I'm fine.
You called the police, right?
Yes, thank you so much.
You did a good job, Bo Ram.
You were so calm.
You did a good job, Bo Ram.
What brings you here, dad?
I was nearby and wanted to see you working.
You did so well.
Are you okay, Bo Ram?
Yes.
That guy was for sure...
a voice phishing withdrawer, right?
I'm not really sure.
I didn't check it.
We called the police.
What if he wasn't?
Am I going to be in trouble?
Don't you worry about it.
A banker is not a police officer.
How can you know for sure that he was a criminal?
You did it so well as you were trained.
You keep it up.
Thank you so much...
for saying that.
Wait, who are you...
to speak to Bo Ram and interfere with this?
- Oh, me? - Oh...
Mr. Auditor.
How are you here?
Answer your phone.
You got so many texts.
I think it's from the police.
The police?
Did you do something wrong?
No, it's not like that.
Yes, just be careful next time.
Okay.
You extorted so much money.
How much is all that?
It keeps buzzing. Aren't you going to answer it?
No, I'm not. Just turn it off.
How do I turn it off?
Just swipe it from right to left.
Is this...
Is this Seo Bo Geol's number?
- This is the police... - What should I do?
-...intelligence investigation... - Turn it off!
We got the swindler of fake deposit bank case.
We cleared your suspicion. You don't have to come to court.
Really?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Did it go well?
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, ma'am.
Can I have a salmon? Fresh Norwegian salmon.
I'll have them all.
You said you don't have money.
Ta-da, I got my mom's card.
That's my boy.
But why are you looking for salmon in Busan?
Flatfish is really fresh today. Get them.
Just get me all of it.
Wait, did you say Busan?
It's Busan here, right?
I should go straight to the Data Center.
Sorry.
Hey!
What a sneaky bastard!
Yes, President Kang.
I'm free this evening.
Yes.
You're picking me up?
Where are we going?
(Slow down)
Gosh, you scared me.
You started first.
- Also... - Okay, stop there.
I had some personal issues to take care of.
I've just overcome a terrible trial as...
a banker which you cannot even imagine.
So please keep the nagging...
to yourself.
I barely opened my mouth.
I'm sorry for coming in late.
I'll get you a cold coffee to wake you up instead.
Hold on here.
You are here.
Assemblyman Jung.
Director Park.
He is...
the vice-chairman of the National Economic Advisory Council.
Let me formally introduce each other.
This is Vice-president Han, the future leader...
of our Daehan Bank.
- Hello, I'm Han Soo Ji. - Nice to meet you, Ms. Han.
Nice to meet you, Ms. Han.
It's nice to meet you, Director Park.
And he is…
Nice to meet you, Ms. Han.
You can just call me Professor Choi.
Yes.
It's an honor to meet you, Professor Choi.
Sorry.
Coffee wasn't allowed in.
I'm so full from drinking both cups.
Is there anything you found?
- No. - I thought that you'd be able to...
find the data right away once we got to Busan.
What is it, IT man?
Were you struggling without me with the good eyes?
I concentrated better without...
someone chattering next to me.
But why couldn't you find anything? Aren't you an IT expert?
In my opinion...
they must have come down here...
to delete all the backup data.
Just like Tom Cruise from "Mission Impossible."
Stop with the nonsense.
Daehan Bank has combined servers from multiple banks...
and the system is too antique which often causes errors.
There are also too much data as everything is combined.
Does that mean that...
there is no way of finding?
I might...
find it with more time.
The office has been closed for today.
We at Daehan Bank encourage regular work hours...
for your work-life balance.
The server room is closing. Also,
the official document states that today is the last day...
for your investigation.
We don't have time.
I should have joined in earlier...
for the search.
The future of Korea's economy...
parallels with the rise and fall...
of the financial industry.
It's not impossible for us to be like...
America, London, or New York.
We can do it as well.
Those of you here are carrying a heavy burden.
What's impossible with such a talented individual...
such as Ms. Han?
I have high expectations for you, Ms. Han.
Yes.
Ms. Han, you started off as a bank teller?
Yes, Director Park.
That's impressive.
You started from the bottom...
and now a vice-president.
Now you have one more step...
from reaching the top.
Pardon?
Please help her out.
Did you hear that?
That's good.
By the way,
What happened with the kids...
at The Best?
This makes me so mad.
These old geezers are oppressing us with power...
now that they lost their source of money.
It's just the five of us.
It's just our five corporations...
which have been sanctioned by Fair Trade Commission.
These grandpas...
have more power than we expected.
The permission for the redevelopment of D1 district...
will cancel as well.
Geez,
after spending all that money to burn and clear up the area?
Seriously?
What are we going to do?
Are we just going to yield to their way?
Have you ever seen power that beats money?
Even the president...
has no power once his terms are over.
Contact the law firms...
and we'll take the sanction to the law court.
Ah, that's a lot of work.
It takes up too much time.
That's why I warned you.
You barely listened to me back then.
Here, don't worry.
We'll definitely win.
We'll at least live longer...
than those old beggars.
All right.
Let's see...
who wins.
Your president...
must have done something fishy.
Trying to send an auditor to America.
Please reform this bank.
The president...
told you to let go of the D1 plan.
As a manager...
No.
As an auditor, what can you do?
We don't have power, but we won't be silent in the face of the truth.
We'll follow you no matter what.
I can't quit...
without finding out anything.
Hello.
Seo Bo Geol!
I'm sorry for being absent without notice.
It won't happen again.
I won't say too much as you are repenting on your actions.
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
I was worried as I couldn't reach you.
I'm sorry, Mr. No.
Were you able to get anything from the Busan trip?
I'm sorry.
I barely found any data on the closed branches.
The amount of the server was too broad...
and any keywords related to 'Seomin' didn't go through.
I believe further pursuit won't be possible.
Yesterday you said that it's possible.
I heard you clearly.
You said that you could search the data with more time.
I was just saying.
Time itself is an issue...
but the system is also too old...
so I could cause further problems if I make a wrong move.
It sounds to me that you don't want to search for them.
You don't want to work?
An irresponsible person who goes hiding...
being scammed with fake deposit bankbook shouldn't say that.
A fake deposit bankbook scam?
Then your personal trial was...
Why are you bringing that up?
Everyone makes mistakes.
Is this for working all by yourself yesterday?
- It's not like you found anything. - What?
Watch out what you say.
What's the problem?
I apologize.
I'll run to the washroom for a bit.
What's the matter with you?
You made Mr. Moon do all the work as you were absent the whole day.
You were too harsh.
Apologize to him.
Why do you just pick on me?
I actually did more physical work.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E18 'The Banker' "An Ambush Audit" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Let's all concentrate so that we can get off work on time.
Sorry about earlier.
Me too.
Thanks for the drink.
It looks a lot better...
now that you've reconciled.
Take a sip of coffee...
and let's focus on the meeting.
Why?
Did someone have a fight?
Ah, Mr. Seo and Mr. Moon?
Why?
Is it because you returned with empty hands...
from the Busan Data Center?
How did you know?
Huh?
There's nothing that we don't know.
We've been in the Audit Team for so long.
Right, we know everything except what we don't.
Continue with your work.
Now that I see,
the affairs of the Audit Team is leaked off too easily.
Even at Busan,
they were expecting us at the entrance.
Actually there's something that's been bothering me.
Secretary Kim knew that...
we got the D1 Approval Request.
Secretary Kim?
We didn't share anything with him.
Where did it leak from?
What are you doing?
Let's just play baduk.
I think I know from where.
Right?
We'll have to conduct...
an urgent audit secretly.
A secret audit?
- That means overtime work. - On who?
I mean, where?
Probably somebody or a department who's fishy.
A secret audit?
Okay, I got it.
Thanks for the heads up.
The Audit Team will conduct an urgent secret audit today.
Delete anything that could be troublesome.
Remove anything that can look suspicious.
What about the executives' schedule?
Why are you asking?
If you are asking it's probably suspicious.
Get rid of all such things.
Hurry!
(Are you sure you want to delete these 5 items?)
Let's go.
Sounds good.
Shall we start?
(Outside meeting - Accompanied by Secretary Kim X)
President Kang has a meeting outside at 3 pm.
Secretary Kim won't accompany him.
The president's car has left.
Ms. Jang.
(Notice for Urgent Audit)
What is this all of a sudden?
An urgent audit?
Here, here, here.
Is our team...
all good with the company cards?
Okay? Okay?
The Audit Team has ordered an urgent audit.
Make sure that none of the...
company cards are omitted.
Come at me.
An urgent secret audit?
Auditor No has come up with a fun game.
Geez.
There's not a single peaceful day.
Is it all done?
It's the same as any other day. Check it thoroughly.
Work, work.
- What are you hiding in such hurry? - I have to hide it quickly.
Auditor No.
Is there something we shouldn't see?
Let's first check whether we should see it or not.
Please open.
Oh my gosh.
The PR Team manager was caught at the parking lot...
while trying to hide something in his car.
They even inspect personal vehicles?
They are conducting a proper audit.
One moment.
What... what's the matter?
We're holding an urgent audit regarding company cards.
I've been informed that there are...
people trying to take out internal data outside.
Could I take a look inside your car?
I don't have anything like that.
I'm in a hurry as I'm not feeling too well.
Then I'll make the inspection quick.
Please open the trunk for me.
I'm in a real hurry.
Is there something I shouldn't see?
No, it's nothing like that.
Then please open it up quickly.
Restaurant,
coffee shop,
bakery,
another bakery...
Why did Secretary Kim go to the...
Young Bakery so much?
He went almost every two days.
Oh, look here.
There's even Cheongdam-dong hair salon.
From what I'm seeing today, when we use the company cards...
in the future, we should be more considerate.
Mr. No,
there's something strange here.
The company cards were used to purchase...
gift cards quarterly for over $30,000.
Over $30,000? That means over $100,000 yearly.
Who buys $100,000 worth of gift cards in a year?
Isn't it for product advertisement,
just like that branch manager did?
I'm not sure,
but this is suspicious indeed.
It's because of this.
This is why Secretary Kim hid the receipts in his personal vehicle.
Moon Hong Joo, you scored one.
Well done, Mr. Moon.
You are good with the search.
The usage and the purpose of the gift cards are unclear.
This could be good for questioning Secretary Kim.
Talk.
Secretary Kim was...
taken by Auditor No?
Bakery, hair salon,
let's put those aside.
The place of usage is clear and...
they could be needed while attending the president.
However,
we were able to find...
a suspicious transaction history...
with unclear purposes.
$30,000 quarterly.
$120,000 yearly.
Why did you purchase all these gift cards with the company card?
That's what...
I want to know.
Really, it's nothing.
The gift cards were all used for the president's special activities.
Special activities?
How special did it have to be...
for him to use $120,000?
Well, such as the president's publication ceremony...
where gift cards were given to the guests as a return present.
A return present?
- It was a huge ceremony. - Yes.
Mostly as return presents for the president's ceremony.
Even still, don't you think there's a problem spending...
$120,000 as return presents?
You are saying return present,
but I'm suspecting bribery.
No.
It's nothing like that.
I really meant to use them just as...
governing funds for the president.
I had no other intention.
Governing funds?
He's not the president of the country.
Who is he governing? What makes him need governing funds?
Well, I mean, not governing funds...
but they are special costs for special business activities.
They were used with no other intentions.
Your intentions were pure,
but the president who used them is the problem?
Then the president must be the problem.
I should summon the president for an investigation.
What,
what are you saying?
I took care of everything.
The president doesn't know anything and he has nothing to do with this.
Then let me ask you once again.
These gift cards with unclear usage.
Weren't they used for the D1 plan or...
for the management of Seomin Agency?
Nonsense.
Auditor No is making an interrogation on Secretary Kim.
It seems like the transaction of the gift cards...
which he had stored in his vehicle have become an issue.
I heard.
Secretary Kim is just an excuse.
It seems to be an audit aimed at you, Mr. Kang.
Is that so?
Contact President Song Ki Yeol of...
Daehan Asset Management to come to headquarters immediately.
President Song Ki Yeol is...
the man who was your secretary until a few years ago?
That's right.
There's no one like him for crisis management.
Then what should I do with Auditor No?
Should I take care of it?
No.
I'll see him myself.
You are really a medalist.
I'm flattered.
Did you think about...
going to America as a branch manager?
I don't know what intentions you had with that offer...
but I want to concentrate on auditing during my term.
Intentions?
There are no such things. It seems like...
you have a misunderstanding, Mr. No.
The reason why I offered you the branch manager position was...
for you to feel and learn the worldwide economical trend and...
to become the future leader of Daehan Bank.
I had no other intentions.
Mr. No,
don't treat me...
too seriously.
Feel free to ask me if you have...
any questions.
Don't nitpick on the transactions of Secretary Kim's company cards.
Since you say so, I'll ask you directly.
Seomin Agency and the mastermind behind it.
Is that you?
