(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.
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.
