(Episode 5)
Don't worry too much.
If you need my help, don't hesitate to ask me.
You can ask me anything.
I mean it, Manager Jin.
"Manager Jin"?
I thought...
I'd become the deputy manager, then the general manager.
I thought that's how I'd live.
But now,
I'll be living a life I never imagined.
This doesn't mean your life's over.
Something good will happen to you too.
Right.
Here's the next news.
Gu, who issued promissory notes under the name...
of a proxy CEO and filed for bankruptcy on purpose was arrested.
Reporter Oh has the story.
Gosh. I'm the one who caught that evil man.
Doesn't he know his mother is growing fretful? He's reckless.
You better not do something like that again.
If you do, you won't be allowed to even work at the bank.
Mom. Dr. An Jung Geun's mother told him,
"Son, you should die honorably for the country."
"That would be your filial duty." That's what she said.
She must've been quite a person...
to have raised her son into a doctor back in those days.
Mom, Dr. An isn't a doctor who heals the sick.
What?
Forget it.
Mr. Seo.
You were appointed to transfer to the audit office in Seoul.
- What? - Be quiet.
You can't tell anyone until it's officially announced.
Yes! Nice!
Deputy Manager. Salute!
My goodness.
I was just appointed to go to the audit office in Seoul.
- What? - Are you serious?
- Is this true, sir? - I was going to do my best here,
but I have no choice but to leave now.
The Korea Consumer Agency...
reported through an official announcement...
that 30 excessively consumed processed foods...
I was appointed to transfer to the Seoul head office.
What?
This number was higher than the previous year.
Reporter Kim has the news.
And?
Are you telling me you're going to Seoul?
You can't, okay?
It can't be helped. The head office wants me.
- They only picked me. - Be quiet.
You might as well quit your job at the bank this time around.
You don't get paid much anyway.
Do you know how difficult it was to get hired at such times?
Don't look down on my salary.
Exactly.
You should give your position to other people,
and you can stay in Gongju.
The fortune teller told me you won't have any kids...
if you leave Gongju.
Mom.
It's the 21st century. Why are you taking her word for it?
You fool. You were born thanks to her.
I don't care. I'm leaving. What fortune teller?
Fine. Go.
Really? Can I really go?
Do what you want.
Mom.
You gave me permission, right?
Nice.
Let's go.
(Auditor Noh Dae Ho)
(Look into Seomin Agency in Sales Team 1.)
"Seomin Agency"?
(Look into Seomin Agency in Sales Team 1.)
I'm starting to get a whiff of Seoul.
Have you been well, my friend?
Yes. I'm always well.
Let's have a meal together when I get to Seoul.
I'm transferring to the head office in Seoul.
I'm on my way up.
Gosh, there's no need to congratulate me. It was a given.
The Seoul air is so nice.
Your card was suspended.
That's strange.
Okay, then.
Use this one.
It'll work right away.
Very smoothly.
Excuse me, but this one was also suspended.
You exceeded your limit on this one.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Right, I used it all last time.
Then,
can I transfer the money directly to an account?
The owner isn't here right now, so that'll be hard.
- Can I make a quick call? - Yes.
Gosh, what is this?
Mom, you said I could go. Why did you suspend my cards?
You don't want to fulfill your duty as my son,
so I'll stop providing for you endlessly...
just because I'm a parent.
Nothing's for free in life.
Isn't a parent's grace for free?
That's what every child has wrong.
Mom. Mom!
Okay, okay.
Something happened to my mom.
I'll leave my car here,
and go get some cash from an ATM.
(Look into Seomin Agency in Sales Team 1.)
What are you doing here?
Mr. Noh, can you let me stay here for a few days?
What kind of loathsome request are you making?
Don't you have any friends?
I have my pride. I can't go see my friends without any money.
I guess you don't have any friends.
Please help me out this once.
I really don't have anywhere to go.
I'll only sleep here.
Just for a while.
Please, Mr. Noh.
Get out.
Mr. Noh!
Amazing.
- Hey. - What?
Should I sit at the front?
Is he kidding me? Hey.
- I... - What's with this guy?
You don't have to mind him.
Yes, sir. I don't plan to.
Gosh. What a heartless world.
He didn't even look back once.
Let's run, Bo Geol.
As soon as I get to work,
I'll withdraw my installment savings and transfer them to my account.
This is destiny.
Your supplies will arrive in the afternoon.
Just like how not all Brazilians are good at soccer...
and not all Chinese are table tennis players,
your beauty shouldn't mean that you have a boyfriend, right?
If there's anything else you need,
let me know before we get off work.
At first glance,
you may think that I obviously have a girlfriend, but I don't.
You don't look like you'd have a girlfriend.
Why is that?
I don't know. You tell me.
Charming, as well.
He's here.
I see you've gotten to know each other.
Yes.
I met her on the bus.
We got off the same station,
and then transferred onto the same bus.
And then, we came into the same Daehan Bank!
Isn't that insane?
Someone sent me this text while hiding their number.
Should I be responding to anonymous texts like these?
I'll contact Sales Team 1 and request reference materials.
Thank you.
You're so impressive.
Oh, come on in, sir.
Please have a seat.
I should have gone to see you myself.
No need, I'm the one who has a lot of questions.
Seomin Agency...
is not a company you should be concerned about.
They handle minor real estate and asset management.
If you take a look here,
they only have a short-term loan of 10 million dollars.
However, it seems odd...
that the head office's Sales Team 1 is in charge of such a company.
Sales Team 1 is in charge of major companies like...
semicons, steel, and tele-communication firms.
That's right. But if the company is located downtown,
and the client insists that we are their closest branch,
then it can't be helped.
I guess you wouldn't know this,
since you were always based in the provinces.
Is that so?
Alright, then.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help to you.
No worries.
Do you mind if I borrow that document?
Of course not. Here you go.
Please take care.
[VIU Ver] MBC E05 'The Banker' "Seomin Agency" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hello, Vice President?
Auditor Noh came to check up on Seomin Agency.
What?
How did he find out about it?
Fine. Let's talk about it later.
That good for nothing hound dog!
How dare he sniff around?
Is there anything wrong, sir?
Noh Dae Ho is going around asking about Seomin Agency.
You wouldn't understand yet,
but...
the time has come for you to know.
It will soon be your duty.
(Seomin Agency, Corporate Assessment)
Just a single page...
It's an unknown company, but they were lent 10 million dollars...
with just a single bill.
It even gets automatically renewed after expiration instead of payback.
I can't find any information online...
about what this company does.
The redemption date is...
Three months? Why is it so short?
Why keep it so short and renew it constantly,
instead of signing in a longer period the first place?
Do you think there could be a secret behind this?
(Auditor, Noh Dae Ho)
(Inspection Team)
Where is the General Manager of Inspection?
- Hello. - Hello.
(Seomin Agency, Corporate Assessment)
We used to grant...
unclear financial support to certain businesses,
due to orders from higher-ups as a custom.
It's a good thing we discovered it now.
We can suspend the extensions from now on and collect the loan.
All right.
And you will carry on investigating Seomin Agency, right?
But it has ties to the higher-ups...
We should find out how far it goes up, shouldn't we?
It may be anonymous, but it was a tip-off.
We can see that there is a desire for justice within the bank.
I will be requesting personnel from the Inspection Team often.
I will try my best, but...
Thank you.
(Seomin Agency, 24, 97-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul)
(Seomin Agency)
Shall we?
Since you've already finished the contract,
- all you have to do is... - It's this one.
The post management is our share.
That is...
Sorry?
No, no. We are not responsible for that.
No, no. Even if you come to our office, we can't...
- There's nothing else we can do. - Good afternoon.
I will call you back.
Daehan Bank...
Auditor? Oh!
Sorry for the late greeting.
My name is Park Jung Bae.
Please have a seat here. Would you?
The reason we're here today is because of your business loans.
Business loans?
I would like to ask about the details of the loan...
The details of the loan, you say?
What?
You want to hear about the details of the loan?
From me?
Why are you asking me?
Because you are the president of Seomin Agency.
Why are you asking me,
when you can just ask the bank?
Did you think I would tell you something...
Sales Team 1 didn't tell you about?
You're a bit thoughtless, Mr. Auditor.
You've been crossing the line, sir.
I'm not the kind of person who would be intimidated...
just because you're from Daehan Bank. Okay?
I'm dealing directly with your higher-ups.
So you have nothing to tell us?
Mr. Auditor, it's not of virtue for a salaried worker...
to work on a task that wasn't given to him.
People work themselves to death these days...
by just doing given tasks, don't they?
(Draft form)
(Noh Dae Ho)
(Restricted document)
The company has been lent 10 million dollars by political reason...
of the higher-ups, and is being automatically renewed.
(Restricted document, draft form)
If word leaks about the existence of this company,
the reputation of Daehan Bank will be severely damaged.
- Yes, sir. - That fool, Noh Dae Ho.
He doesn’t know when to butt in and when not to.
Anyways,
you'll be in charge from now on, so you'd better introduce yourself.
I'll let them know in advance.
(Restricted document, draft form)
Who does he think we are?
Higher-ups... I wonder how far it goes up?
If it's someone higher than you...
Who is above you?
Vice President Yook? President Kang?
Gosh...
Noh Dae Ho. We need to stop Auditor Noh.
He went to Seomin Agency...
to nitpick about the details of the loan.
Seomin Agency...
Was there such a company?
Do you expect me to remember all those companies...
I introduced you for your own performance?
You assigned it yourself...
I don't know what has come up,
but I expect you to settle it quickly since you're in charge.
He never assigned the tasks...
through official documents or proper form.
Have you, by any chance,
done any foul play when carrying on the task?
I am very disappointed.
He's trying to blame it all on me?
President Kang?
Senior Director Do. It's a good thing you came.
The doors are closing.
I can still remember the days when you ran around with papers...
in a youthful face, Director Han.
It was the happy days when I served you...
as the Branch Manager, President Kang.
You were outstanding, even back when...
you were a bank-teller.
Seeing that you became an executive,
I feel so reassured as bank president.
As a fellow female executive,
I'm also very pleased and assured.
You flatter me.
Why are you just standing there? Weren't you waiting for an elevator?
Oh. I was.
Get in. It's okay.
Thank you.
The door is closing.
Let's have dinner together soon.
Yes, sir.
(Han Soo Ji)
Wow, rather than have...
a dowdy middle-aged man visit,
it's much better to see a beautiful director.
Oh, was it corny of me...
to call a beautiful woman beautiful?
Our Vice President...
Wait, wait.
(Assemblyman Jung)
It's Assemblyman Jung.
Assemblyman Jung?
Salute.
Hello, Assemblyman Jung.
Yes, yes.
I'm doing so well thanks to your love and care.
Yes.
Did you get what I sent last time?
I had a tough time procuring that.
I'm free.
I'll make the reservations and call you back.
Okay. I love you.
Hey, hey.
Make dinner reservations for Assemblyman Jung Soo Chan.
Jung Soo Chan, the Strategy and Finance Committee's big shot?
That man's old enough to have some taste,
but he prefers only sweet or salty food.
It's so hard to pick a restaurant he likes.
I see.
Forget about that.
What does the pretty director like?
Ms. Jin's belongings?
I got them back from the Prosecutors' Office.
They need sorting.
- Let me do it. - No, no.
I want to do it.
She was a great example as a bank clerk.
She'll do anything well, even if it's not working at a bank.
She can get back up.
Right.
(Schedule)
(Sales list)
(Company, Date)
Auditor Noh Dae Ho speaking.
I heard you're looking into Seomin Agency.
You know a lot about what I'm doing.
Apparently you're bothering them over nothing,
so you have something to show for.
It's what Mr. Min from Sales Team 1 has been spreading around.
People feel uncomfortable with...
whatever the Audit Office does.
This is where Ms. Jin threw the cash and tried to jump.
Our bank must change, even if it's uncomfortable.
Some things can't be changed.
Some things are inevitable.
I met Seomin Agency's CEO.
He said he has connections with someone high up.
The connection he has high up in our bank.
Do you know anything about that?
No.
If you hear anything, tell me.
Okay.
I must investigate Seomin Agency.
I'd like some extra personnel.
I apologize.
We have a lot of backlogged work.
I can't spare any men right now.
Pardon?
- But... - All that helping you out...
put a strain on our everyday workload.
A few employees even took leave.
Also, I'm reluctant to spare personnel to look into...
something that's been a custom.
Call the President's secretary and arrange for a meeting.
Yes, sir.
General Manager of Inspection gave such a silly excuse.
I guess he's really scared of someone.
You can come up right now.
Okay.
What's he meeting the President for?
To ask for extra personnel.
Right. Anything to get an investigation going.
If President Kang doesn't approve extra personnel,
doesn't that mean he's involved with Seomin Agency?
What? President Kang?
Then what? Will we lose our jobs?
Either way, it'll be a tough fight for Mr. Noh.
He's not at all like the other auditors I met.
And I'm the special talent that great auditor chose.
Mr. Noh said we don't have to mind you.
Said who? Who said that?
Mr. Park.
Mr. Park?
Mr. Noh's driver.
That Mr. Toupee...
You better mind about me.
(President's Office)
President Kang is determined to...
put the blame for Seomin Agency all on me.
He's going to use Noh Dae Ho to get rid of me?
(Not related)
(Bank President)
Assemblyman, it's me.
We must rush.
I think President Kang's onto us.
I can't move right now.
Try to stall for now.
Okay then.
May I make use of Mr. Park?
I paid a visit to Seomin Agency.
Seomin Agency?
A 10-million-dollar loan...
keeps getting extended every three months.
Sales Team 1 signed it,
when they're in charge of large companies.
Based on what you said, I don't understand what's going on.
Right.
For many reasons, it needs looking into.
But...
the Inspection Team refused my request for extra personnel.
- Why is that? - My guess is that...
They're reluctant to upset someone.
Oh, dear. That's bad.
So...
I'd like you to tell Inspection to send me extra personnel.
Okay.
You shouldn't be restricted when carrying out your duties.
Investigate all you want.
I will call the General Manager...
of Inspection myself.
Oh, dear, dear...
President Kang had nothing to do with it.
That's a relief.
Tell the General Manager of Inspection...
to support Mr. Noh.
- Yes, sir. - I'd better...
not be the last to hear about things.
I understand, sir.
Mr. Noh is quite steadfast.
He is.
You're a great judge of character and I'm always surprised at it.
- You can leave. - Yes, sir.
(Ads 00:28:00 --> 00:29:46)
(Episode 6)
I'll get off here for today.
I have to pick up something from the convenience store.
Mr. Noh, please go ahead. I'll wait for you.
No.
You worked so hard and it's late. Thank you, Mr. Park.
Gosh.
It's okay to be a little haughty if you're an executive.
Whenever I watch this person, I don't know how time flies.
She's someone I never want to say goodbye to.
- It's Chungha. - This is delicious.
- "Gotta Go". - "Gotta Go".
Why isn't Mr. Noh home yet?
He better not be out with Mr. Park having something delicious.
She's on.
No, no, no, no
The text voting will close soon.
Should we countdown together?
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Voting closed. - Voting closed.
Who will be today's winner? Show us the result.
Mr. Park, it's Bo Geol. Mr. Noh hasn't come home yet.
What? You dropped him off a while ago?
Where could he have gone to take him so long?
Gosh. The convenience store.
I told you he said he's going to the convenience store.
I see.
He probably went elsewhere after saying he's going there.
Okay, then. Rest well, Mr. Park.
Okay.
That was Jennie. Today...
I should respect his privacy.
Shoot. He missed.
- Another try. - Isn't that cheating?
It's very close.
He's in the middle of investigating the fishy Seomin Agency.
I wonder if something happened to him.
(Seo Bo Geol)
What? That looks like Mr. Noh's phone.
(Seo Bo Geol)
It's his.
Do you know if something happened here?
There was a police car here earlier.
A police car? Why?
A man and some gangsters got into a quarrel,
and their car was blocking the way.
A man?
Did he look like a curious...
yet charismatic man?
I don't know about that.
Anyway, they all went to the police station.
Shoot.
What happened?
This man got in the way first.
On top of that, he framed us as drunk drivers.
I was only defending myself...
as we exchanged a few throws.
In the end,
we are the victims, Detective.
Auditor Noh!
What happened, sir?
"Auditor Noh"?
Yes. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Thank you.
He has dementia.
Are you an auditor?
- What kind of auditor? - Mister.
I mean, Detective.
We're the victims. Why are you asking us?
It wasn't enough for a bank auditor...
to use violence on a passerby,
- so he's acting like a victim too? - He's a bank auditor?
He must be doing this because he has the bank behind him.
Let's settle this by the law.
Yes, let's go by the law!
Let's go by the law!
Who are those people?
They're acting like reporters.
They're reporters.
They're reporters with access to the police station.
What?
What? No. No.
No!
("Violent Bank Auditor Gets into a Late Night Tussle")
- Did you read the news? - No, not yet.
What kind of situation is this?
A "violent bank auditor"?
I've never heard of such a thing in the 30 years of my career.
- I'm sorry. - Auditor Noh Dae Ho.
You should at least give us an excuse.
You can't expect an apology will let this pass.
You damaged the honor of Daehan Bank.
You should be responsible.
- She's right. - He should be responsible.
I'll take responsibility, and reveal the truth behind this.
You're still flustered. You're still on about the truth...
after causing so much trouble for the bank.
I'm starting to question if Mr. Noh is qualified to be an auditor.
Gosh.
It's been a while since Mr. Yook...
said anything I wanted to say.
Many are already talking about how a branch manager...
of a closed branch became an auditor.
One of your previous employees committed embezzlement,
and now you're making trouble.
I'd like to propose the dismissal of Auditor Noh Dae Ho.
Please schedule a general meeting of stockholders.
We'll discuss...
arranging a general meeting another time.
In the meantime, Mr. Noh should behave.
Yes, sir.
("Violent Bank Auditor Gets into a Late Night Tussle")
Had I driven him all the way home,
this wouldn't have happened.
What are you talking about? That's not true.
Gosh. I just feel so bad.
Don't say such a thing.
You didn't do anything wrong, Mr. Park.
Thank you for saying that.
I mean it.
No matter how many times I think about it,
what happened last night was so strange.
Right?
I can't explain it,
but something doesn't feel right.
Could there be anyone wanting to disturb Mr. Noh's investigation...
on Seomin Agency?
There is.
All I said was "Auditor Noh" at the police station,
- but they... - They were the ones...
who said I was a bank auditor.
That's right.
Maybe they noticed your bank badge.
It's too small to notice if it's from a bank or not.
Then that means...
someone was deliberately trying to put Mr. Noh to a violence case.
Even if we know that someone planned this,
we can't turn the tables around without any evidence.
Did something happen?
Did something happen to Mom?
No, Dad. Mom's fine.
Okay. What is it?
Nothing much.
I wanted to check if you're okay.
I saw a strange article.
That?
There was a misunderstanding. It's no big deal.
Really? That's good to know. Okay, then.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
- Han Sol... - Han Sol!
- This weekend... - Hurry up!
Dad, I should get going.
Oh, right.
Si Hyeon, wait for me!
Right, she should go after this Si Hyeon friend.
I hope...
Si Hyeon is a girl.
Can it be a boy?
I'm sure...
Seomin Agency is involved in this.
No matter how hard you try, you won't make Mr. Noh quit.
That means he might be in more danger now.
Neither party will probably back down.
Then that's a problem.
We'll find the evidence and catch the culprit.
- Us? - How?
Let's at least put Seomin Agency under surveillance.
Are you up for it?
I see you didn't read the news.
I've caught an offender of a financial crime before.
He must've been an amateur...
to have been caught by you.
Whatever doubts you have about me,
I'll wash them away this time.
- Secretary Kim. - Yes?
Bring me President Lee Hae Gon of Daehan Finance.
Sure thing. It's already been three years...
since he was chased off to a subsidiary.
Chased off?
Are you saying that someone kicked him over there?
- You should watch what you say. - I'm sorry.
I'll set up a meeting as soon as possible.
I know you're busy, so to what do I owe this pleasure?
I doubt I'm as busy as you.
I heard you revived a company that was almost in ruins.
Good job.
That's right. We're both busy men,
so enough with the half-hearted pleasantries.
Let's get down to business.
How's your father? Is he still in good health?
Of course. My father...
is too worried about today's financial circle where those...
who aren't qualified, all have a seat at the highest table.
It keeps him young and on his toes.
Maybe it's because...
you were born and raised into such a family,
but your perspective sure is different.
Your father is like a master artisan...
who widens his foundations as he passes on his skills.
A master artisan of the financial world?
- That's completely gibberish. - Mr. Lee.
We all know...
the weight your family carries in Daehan Bank.
Isn't it finally time for you...
to carry on the family tradition?
When you kicked me to the subsidiary,
you made it clear that you didn't need an executive...
who thought himself too privileged in Daehan Bank.
Is that how I came across to you?
That is too bad.
Mi Ho, you didn't have to come too.
- Why not? - Because it's dangerous.
It's not like I'm alone here.
Right, we're here as a team.
Mr. Park. Considering your age, you should've stayed at home.
What are you saying?
What if we get into a car chase?
Between us three, only I can manage that.
I know every nook and cranny there is...
in the Seoul area.
A car chase?
Wait, do you own a pair of those?
I carry one to musicals.
Musicals. I enjoy them too.
I first began to see their value while traveling in Europe.
By the time I went to Broadway...
The streets are filled with theaters...
and you sometimes see the actors who couldn't be more charismatic...
Wait, it's them! They came at Mr. Noh.
We guessed right.
Those jerks.
If I can get a shot of them doing business with Seomin Agency...
I bought it when I was a fangirl.
A fangirl?
Mi Ho, please hurry up.
It's them for sure. They caused trouble for Mr. Noh.
Make sure you get their faces.
We got them.
Here are the thugs involved in my assault case...
meeting with Seomin Agency's CEO.
I'll keep on with my investigation on Sales Team 1.
President Kang, I request the support...
of the Inspection Department you once promised.
Your council meeting has been scheduled.
Are you kidding me?
- Pardon? - Have you no idea what's going on?
Well...
Those idiots at Seomin Agency!
They should've kept their distance with those thugs...
who went after Noh Dae Ho!
How can I trust them when photos like these were taken?
Noh Dae Ho will now poke his head in everywhere...
with the help of the Inspection Department.
Sales Team 1...
should keep their guards up.
Yes, sir.
That being said,
I believe Noh Dae Ho is only managing this well...
because he has a source who gives him information.
Director Han and Noh Dae Ho...
seems to be close.
Director Han would never!
She might be relaying hints involuntarily.
They're that close.
So?
What are you trying to say?
We need someone to take responsibility.
A big shift is happening.
If I'm not here at the bank,
who would help you with your challenges, Senior Yook?
What's with "Senior Yook"?
You are the bank's only hope...
against President Kang's tyranny.
Please give me the chance...
to devote myself to the bank by your side.
It was probably Vice President Yook who plotted against Mr. Noh.
However, Mr. Noh was quickly able to clear his name.
("Violent Bank Auditor Gets into a Late Night Tussle")
He used the fact that someone tried...
to stop him from looking into Seomin Agency,
and had President Kang give him the support...
of the Inspection Department.
Mr. Noh's investigation into Seomin Agency...
will only intensify the strife...
between President Kang and Vice President Yook.
A war will finally break out.
However,
if it isn't the right time yet,
in order to slow down the investigation,
a scapegoat will be presented...
by either the President or the Vice President.
If so...
(Daehan Bank)
I wonder who will be sacrificed.
No way.
Up until now, he has fully trusted me.
He even promoted me to an executive.
(Director's Office)
We're from the Inspection Department.
I know.
Only the Inspection Department...
would enter my office without knocking.
The Audit Office requested...
that we look into your office.
Will you excuse me?
What's going on?
The Inspection Department...
barged into my office unannounced.
Have these people leave my office immediately.
I can't demand the actions of the Inspection Department.
I don't have the authority to make them leave.
- What? - Also, you told me...
not to look into Seomin Agency, right?
Isn't it because you have information on it?
Just tell me what you know already.
If you had, I may have been able...
to stop things like this from happening.
I already told you everything and I know nothing more.
I have nothing else to disclose!
(Director's Office)
[VIU Ver] MBC E06 'The Banker' "Daehan Finance CEO, Lee Hae Gon" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Please leave.
Step aside.
I don't think I called for you.
The Inspection Team's searching my office.
Are they?
That meddlesome Mr. Noh...
is causing you trouble.
Mr. Noh said it was out of his control.
That's how clueless he is about what he's doing.
Oh, dear.
I'll take it to believe...
you had nothing to do with this investigation.
Right?
Of course not.
What were you thinking?
I thought we were a team.
I guess I was too naive.
No, no, you weren't. Why would you say that?
You're really making me feel bad now.
I'm beginning to wonder.
Is it right...
for me to go on working with you?
It is right.
President Kang is behind Mr. Noh.
No one knows when they will get rid of us.
We must trust and rely on each other.
I...
trusted...
you, sir.
I trust you too.
I heard that...
President Kang met with Lee Hae Gon.
What?
Then...
Is he going to bring Lee Hae Gon back?
A person who was demoted to a subsidiary...
has never come back to the bank before.
But there could always be a first.
Lee Hae Gon...
turned around a dying company within just two years...
after he was demoted there.
What's going on with Lee Hae Gon?
I thought I'd never have to see him again.
He's not the type who'd be satisfied with running a subsidiary.
The Inspection Team searched Ms. Han's office thoroughly.
They found nothing.
How did that fox get rid of it?
That fox is a level beyond you.
She has great crisis management skills.
You served us well.
Sir.
Quit the bank first.
Sir.
You'll be on sick leave until your resignation's cleared.
That way you'll at least get your severance pay.
Things will get worse if Lee Hae Gon returns.
I can't let you weigh me down.
But sir...
We worked together for so long.
Don't worry.
But still, Senior Yook...
I trust you'll do as I say.
Sales Team 1 recovered the 10 million dollars...
and the general manager of the team resigned...
over the delinquent loan.
His resignation was accepted immediately.
That means the general manager is above Mr. Noh.
It makes no sense.
It doesn't.
I won't close the Seomin Agency case like this.
The voter turnout was two percent higher,
so that will likely increase the numbers,
not reduce them.
The price of working for him for 20 years...
is just this?
Look who's here.
May I come in?
Yes, of course. You came this far.
Come in.
Sorry for visiting so late.
You must have family.
There's no one else.
The rest of my family's abroad. You didn't know?
Oh, I see.
You live alone too.
Your ex-wife's sick and your daughter's in high school.
I looked you up.
You have a long way to go.
No thanks.
Those are your belongings excluding any confidential papers...
related to the bank.
You must know better than anyone what that means.
Right?
So what?
I'd like you to join me in the fight to correct our bank.
I need you.
You need me?
You want to use me.
That's not true.
Doesn't everyone use each other anyway?
I'd rather be used by someone more powerful...
and make a profit from that.
I don't want...
to fight a losing battle like you.
Is that the conclusion of a man who worked at a bank for 20 years?
Yes.
I'm pretty sure that's how most people think.
That's what it takes to survive in a bank.
The more powerful person...
that you would rather trust in.
He will not keep the promise he made.
- What? - Because I will stop him.
What a show-off.
You have nothing.
(Daehan Finance CEO, Lee Hae Gon)
I heard you recently closed many branches.
Has the power balance shifted?
Why do you want to add me...
into the already many factions?
I'm in the process...
of sorting them out.
Is that something that can be sorted out because you want it to...
Within Daehan Bank,
of anything I set my mind to,
nothing ever failed.
You're still the same.
Though I need you to wrap things up for me.
I believe that you can do that much.
I'm not interested in Daehan Bank.
I'll make you senior director.
Nothing below vice president.
The vice presidency isn't your final goal.
Still, I can't start over from senior director.

(Contents)
What is it?
It seems like Vice President Yook met with Assemblyman Jung.
- And? - With them...
was Professor Yoon, a non-executive director.
- So? - We can't wait for Mr. Noh.
Mr. Noh got them all worked up.
Very well. Call Lee Hae Gon.
Daehan Bank's President Kang Sam Do called.
I'm busy, so tell him I'll call later.
He says it's urgent.
All right.
Yes, it's me.
You called me earlier than I expected.
I got it.
Daehan Bank...
This is going to get fun.
The council members acted like they were sworn brothers,
but I guess the relationship wasn't very deep.
Mr. Min got fired,
yet how can you all look so well?
You wanted to be the sole female council member when you came to me,
so I don't think that's something for you to say.
It's okay.
I gathered all of you today on short notice because...
I can introduce myself.
I'll be working at Daehan Bank...
as the vice president starting today.
I'm Lee Hae Gon.
"The vice president"?
There are a few familiar faces...
I thought would be gone by now.
I, Lee Hae Gon,
came back to Daehan Bank just for one reason.
I came to restructure...
this rotten organization.
There are rotten and worn out personnel,
and the organization's structure has been stagnant.
Labor costs are leaking through the incompetent hires.
And properties that haven't been profitable...
have been wasting taxpayers' money.
I will reduce all of these...
and bring Daehan Bank back to normal in one year.
(The Banker)
During the organization's reshuffle,
even executives will be subject to change.
We need to prepare an emergency board meeting...
to discuss President Kang's dismissal.
We'll all get really busy from now on.
Seomin Agency's file is no longer accessible, which means...
high-ranking officials are involved.
We believe Vice President Yook Kwan Shik is involved.
Just watch. Once I become the president,
I'll get rid of President Kang first,
then it'll be your turn, Noh Dae Ho.
