(Episode 31)
The first president of the merged bank.
I want that position.
Do you want the first presidency?
With everything else aside, you've always recognized my abilities.
Of course. I do recognize...
your abilities.
If you can promise me the first presidency...
of the merged bank, of course,
a position with authority and...
recommendation from an outside director,
the merger which you desire...
will be possible.
Either way, you'd create a holding company and take its presidency.
To be frank with you, I was thinking...
to recommend...
Vice-president Han...
as the first president.
Consider Daehan's President Kang Sam Do's honorable resignation gone.
Now you're...
- showing your true intentions. - I will make sure to...
scuttle the merger with Myeongseong. Next will be...
your dishonorable resignation.
You will face the consequences...
for messing around with me.
Vice-president Lee's power of attorney...
included Global Investment and...
British Capital.
The profit didn't look good. They'll try to do anything.
Go investigate.
She was in a shock,
but she is okay now.
- You can relax now. - Thank you, doctor.
Dad,
I was so scared.
I was scared mom would go just like that.
Don't worry too much. The doctor said that she's fine now.
The patient needs to rest, so...
you may also return home.
Mr. No,
can I talk to you for a moment?
D1 Plan's final approval...
was made by President Kang.
How will the available land be secured and...
who will approve the development plan.
And the eviction method used...
on those who refused to leave the lot.
The only one who can testify about the D1 Plan...
whose original copy was shredded...
is Vice-president Yook Gwan Sik.
Vice-president Yook,
this is Han Soo Ji. Are you home?
I just need a moment.
Vice-president Yook!
Just leave me alone.
May 28th, 2014.
President Kang's orders at the board member meeting.
First, implement responsible management.
- Second, - I've ordered...
department manager Jung to shred the original D1 Plan.
You're not great with the details.
There is no need for you to report to me every time, Mr. Yook.
I will give you full authority so you just need to...
brief me on the overall situation.
Try once again to push the plan yourself.
Understood?
I couldn't make any response earlier on as Secretary Song was with me.
- I'm sorry. - Ah, I see.
But why did Secretary Song visit your home?
Ah, he tried to sound me out and...
I pretended to play along with him. And I found out that...
President Kang still has lust for power.
President Kang is planning to become the president of...
the holding company and the first president.
He wants both the holding company's presidency and first presidency?
Yes, it's ridiculous.
President Kang is trying to cover up the public's criticism of him...
for corruption and serving four consecutive terms with merger.
If we let him keep on,
he will replace everyone who opposes him.
You will also be fired regardless...
of your term.
Now that he has shown his true intentions...
he will soon make his moves.
The stockholders' meeting is soon.
I will be securing as many allies as possible...
and you should find evidence of President Kang's corruption...
to convince the stockholders as soon as possible.
Okay.
Once the merger is scuttled in this coming meeting,
I will replace all the executives...
who pushed on the merger with President Kang at their front.
I will make a new Daehan Bank.
Mr. Lee...
Yes, I'm listening.
This is something that I've meant to...
tell you one day.
By any chance,
if you can be the next president...
after driving President Kang out,
can I ask you to sincerely apologize and compensate...
those who have been victimized by the bank?
Yes,
of course.
I should first become the president in order to do that.
I thought hard after seeing the document you gave me...
regarding President Kang.
Are you finally admitting President Kang's true nature?
But I feel like I haven't come to a true end.
I also felt as if my entire life...
has been fake.
I wanted to see where it started to go wrong.
So...
I went to see Vice-president Yook who was recently released.
Vice-president Yook was released?
It was a coincidence that I saw him on the streets.
Secretary Kim said...
that the bank dropped the charges on him.
But that wasn't the case and...
he was released on bail.
Why did you keep that from me until now?
So what did Vice-president Yook say? Did you hear anything?
No. He wasn't home.
Maybe he was avoiding me on purpose.
I thought the current Vice-president Yook would talk to me.
I thought that I'd be able to give up...
my last hopes for about President Kang.
Last hopes about President Kang?
Why?
Vice-president Lee told me.
President Kang plans to be both the holding company's...
president and the first president.
So...
that was the case?
That's why he ordered Secretary Song to...
Why?
What happened?
During the negotiation,
Myeongseong took the branches...
in exchange for giving us the name and the first presidency.
If the merger continues in this way, more branches will shut down...
and more people will lose their jobs than when Gongju was closed.
How could he simply give up on such important factors?
Myeongseong's labor union fiercely opposed the merger.
Secretary Song said that it was President Kang's...
orders so that the merger wouldn't...
discontinue.
That was the first thing I wanted...
to reverse if I became the president.
What should I do now?
Mr. Lee, you have a call...
- from British Capital. - Connect me through.
What's up?
Is it early morning in the UK?
Yes, but you were giving calls late last night.
Excuse me?
Someone called from your bank saying it was urgent.
They said if we withdraw the power of attorney...
that we used it for you,
they would pay us 100 percent more in a special dividend...
after the shareholders' general meeting.
We even received an official letter about this.
You're not withdrawing the power of attorney, are you?
No, it's not something I can just decide on my own.
But it would be unethical to give up profits...
without legitimate reasons.
Look, we plan to have a meeting about this...
with our executives later in the morning.
Wait, wait, wait. Immediate profits don't mean much in the long term.
I understand, Mr. Lee.
But my term is coming to an end in six months...
and I'm sure you know what that means.
Look, I called you out of courtesy, Mr. Lee.
I'm terribly sorry.
President Kang, you sure are amazing.
I was promised...
withdrawal of power of attorney for both cases.
And the follow-up measures?
We need approval from the board of members...
in order to pay them the special dividend.
I see.
Proceed as it is.
Mr. Yook, this is Auditor No.
Could I see you just for a moment?
Is he avoiding us after all?
I found several lots in the D1 district under...
President Kang's relatives' names.
Were you involved in this as well?
Is that the case?
I can't hear anything.
Are you avoiding us because of your two sons?
What did you say?
How is it going?
How have you been?
How do you think I'm doing?
- Right. - What about my sons?
I'm the personnel director of Daehan Bank.
I know that much.
Even you are trying to threaten me using my sons?
Of course not.
I'm saying this as I feel sorry for you,
with both your sons as hostages.
I originally thought that...
you were the mastermind behind.
But I came to the conclusion that President Kang...
was behind all this the more I found out.
The original copy of the D1 Plan is gone and you...
as the finalizer,
would take full responsibility.
You, Kang Sam Do's hunting dog, will investigate the D1 Plan?
That's not it, Mr. Yook. You misunderstood him.
Mr. No is trying to find the truth for Daehan Bank.
President Kang is still standing as you...
took all the blames.
And he is proceeding with a merger...
that won't benefit Daehan Bank to cover up his corruption.
Everything is still in process.
You think I haven't heard and seen anything from home?
Han Soo Ji, you are President Kang's person.
Don't fool me, I know that you...
are the head of the merger team...
for this merger.
- It was back then. - So not anymore?
How do I know that?
Maybe President Kang is trying to use me once again.
- Mr. Yook. - Stop.
I just want to live in peace.
Let me just ask you one more thing.
The closing of the branches.
Was that you?
- Why are you bringing up the past? - It's not the past.
There are still many suffering after they lost their jobs.
And there are people like you who got promoted to an executive.
Yes.
Either way,
many of our employees had to leave the bank.
But now there's a case even worse than that...
occurring right in front of our eyes.
If you have any regret about what you did in the past,
please give us a hand.
If not, hundreds or even thousands of our people...
- will again be forced to leave. - Shut up!
Who are you shifting the blame to? And Han Soo Ji.
This is the result of your negotiation.
Why? Are you thinking of shifting all the blame to...
President Kang and taking over his place?
- Mr. Yook! - Enough!
Don't ever come see me about this matter again.
I'm thinking of quitting the bank.
I will also take responsibility once everything finishes.
Please help us.
Please leave.
What's the matter with him?
Can we help you, Mr. No?
I think we've missed something.
We should review everything...
from the starting point.
- Mr. Seo. - Yes, sir.
Write down what I say on the whiteboard.
- Over here? - At the center...
is the account for circulation of funds.
That is, the shell companies relating to Seomin...
were covered along with the closed branches and borrowed accounts.
- Uh, I can't fit them all in here. - Just the title.
Yes.
On the left are the companies that provided the funds. So the...
accounts of Haesan Construction or their owners would be the start.
The accounts are the starting point.
The same goes on for the owners of...
the D1 district and related corporations.
Accounts related to so-called The Best.
Then on the right?
The accounts of President Kang's relatives which we...
just discovered and the Four.
And the account of President Kang himself.
- Of course, ones where money was... - Received.
Yes, the accounts where money was received.
I think we're getting something.
Ultimately, the core point is the flow of the money needed to...
generate the secret funds.
So if we use the borrowed accounts of...
the closed branches as a reference to check...
the sides that sent and received...
the funds, we could find something.
Then I'll reorganize the computer data based on that.
And...
the accounts used to send and receive...
the funds could have been deleted, so we also need to check...
all the accounts that have been deleted recently.
I'll take care of that.
There will be accounts deleted for sure.
They have to be archived for a certain period...
so if we restore all those accounts and check, then...
Then, what should I do?
Mr. Seo, you can go and...
bring some paper needed to print the data. A whole box of it.
Thursday, May 26, 2015.
Promoted to vice-president.
I'm finally part of the inner circle.
Hello, sir.
I'm Choi Jong Soo. You can just call me Professor Choi.
It's an honor to meet you, Professor Choi.
Do you recognize my face? It's nice to meet you, Vice-president Yook.
President Kang is usually stingy with compliments...
but I heard a lot about you.
I hope we can get along well.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Jung.
This man is in charge of the D1 Plan.
Please help him out.
It's a battle that cannot be won.
You must be tired, Mr. No.
Yes, a little bit.
Use the massage chair.
It was meant for the auditors to use,
but it seems like the wrong person keeps using it.
- What did I do? - Maybe I should.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E31 'The Banker' "Su Ji & Dae Ho Trying to Persuade Kwan Shik" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Borrowed accounts would be used to...
break the funds into pieces and use them as cash...
so that they cannot be traced.
Right.
Yes.
This is where it got difficult to trace the money.
These funds would once again come together unless something happens.
And if we can just read the flow.
There must be traces.
Mr. Moon.
Could you organize the total sum for...
all the accounts from here to here?
And for the dates that the total sum matches,
please compare with all the accounts that are written there.
Here you go.
- Um, Ms. Han. - Yes? What is it?
It's nothing.
Go ahead.
Are you aware that the employees, the employees with ownership...
are getting power of attorney...
for the merger?
Each department manager is given a quota.
- What? - Not only the power of attorney...
but if they do not agree...
with the merger, there will be consequences.
- How is that possible? - The evaluation is made by...
the department manager so it'd be hard to tell whether...
it's for the evaluation or the power of attorney.
What I mean is, who's ordering...
such ridiculous things?
Secretary Song.
Mr. Kim.
The job for secretary's office is to assist the president,
not to give orders to employees.
We are aware of that.
Send official documents right now.
Discard all the mandate letters.
Each employee who has our stock has to vote themselves.
Also, if there's any manager who evaluates their employees...
for something not related to work,
- you should take personnel action. - Okay, Ms. Han.
Yes, Director Park. Things are not going well right now,
but I think the situation can be changed if you help us.
Overall,
people think positively of this merger.
There's nothing much I can help.
It's your job to persuade stockholders.
- I'll take care of that. - Okay.
Today at three o'clock, at Yonehara, Chiba Prefecture,
there is going to be a secret meeting.
You will want to meet some of them there.
I'll text you about the details.
- Thank you. - Say hi to your father for me.
Also, about the auditor of your bank,
You mean, No Dae Ho...
who's working with me right now?
I heard the rumor...
that he's gaining trust from your employees.
Don't let him steal your credit.
He is not that kind of person.
And I don't need their trust to be the president.
It's kind of a big deal these days.
You should hurry anyway.
Okay, thank you.
(Vice-president, Lee Hae Gon)
Book a flight ticket to Japan. Hurry.
Mr. Lee Hae Gon went to Japan in a hurry.
To Japan?
Is he...
- Okay. - Also,
take a look at this official letter.
What on earth is this?
Gosh, Han Soo Ji.
We are at a critical moment,
and she's blowing off our company stocks?
At Yonehara, Chiba Prefecture,
some major stockholders...
and some unknown VVIP members...
are having a secret meeting next week.
But then Lee Hae Gon suddenly bought a ticket,
and went to Japan.
I guess the meeting wasn't next week.
It was today.
I apologize for not figuring out sooner.
It's going to affect...
our domestic voters too.
Also,
take a look at this official letter.
Discarding mandate letters...
- of our stocks? - Yes.
I calculated 2.8 percent of our company stocks...
as a vote in favor of the merger.
But then, Ms. Han told them...
to do electronic voting individually.
So, I think they are going to vote...
against the merger or at least stay neutral.
Han Soo Ji betrayed us.
It has a gap for about one day.
(Financial transactions records)
Right.
It takes that much time to withdraw,
deliver and deposit again.
Good job.
I helped him.
You did a good job too.
Now that we found the trail,
there will be more evidence,
if we follow that trail.
Mr. Kang Sam Do and his relatives,
assemblyman Jung Soo Chan, Director Park Jin Ho,
Vice-chairman of National Economy Choi Jong Soo.
You should check their accounts.
If they deleted any accounts recently,
we should focus on that account.
I got another one.
On accounts of Mr. Kang's relatives who bought the land in D1 area,
there are records of deposit of smurfed money.
And the same goes with the accounts of Jung Soo Chan, Park Jin Ho,
and Choi Jong Soo.
They are all related.
Ghost companies related to Seomin smurfed money with fake accounts,
and sent the money to Mr. Kang's relatives...
to buy the land of this area.
The same goes for other people.
Yes, it doesn't' make sense...
that they just sent money to Mr. Kang's relatives.
So, it can be evidence that they technically sent money...
to Mr. Kang.
But we have records of all the other people,
except for the ones of Kang Sam Do.
His account is really clean.
He didn't delete any accounts.
(International flight)
Mr. No, can I talk to you?
I heard you went to Japan.
You came back so quickly.
I heard that some major stockholders were in Japan,
so, I went there and made sure they vote against the merger.
That's amazing, Mr. Lee.
How are things going with you, Mr. No?
We almost found the money trail...
that The Best smurfed.
We also found out where they sent that money.
Oh, really? That's good.
Did you find the one for Mr. Kang too?
Well,
that's the only thing we haven't found yet.
I don't know if he is that good at hiding things,
or he really didn't do anything.
There is only circumstantial evidence,
so we keep looking for more data.
And we don't know what to do with this evidence.
You should show me the data you have found.
Okay.
About how we handle this,
we should take Mr. Kang down from his presidency...
without leaving a scar on Daehan's reputation.
That's how we should do it.
- Because it's all for Daehan Bank. - True.
If the situation becomes too serious,
all the executives might resign including you.
I don't care about my position.
Even though all the employees are depending on you?
What do you mean?
Employees are tired of Mr. Kang's corruption.
They might want you to be the president,
since they know you are a man of integrity.
Will you not care about your position even then?
I'm not the man to be the president.
- And I don't want to. - Okay, then.
Anyway, I want to tell you...
that we have to take the initiative of this case.
- How is Lee Hae Gon? - He got back to Korea.
He didn't come to the bank.
If he got back this soon,
it means he got what he wants.
Just in case,
I asked for support to assemblyman Jung.
Director Park.
Since it happened anyway,
we have to help Mr. Kang really well.
The bigger Daehan Bank gets,
the more profit for us to have.
We can't let Lee Hae Gon...
take away this gold mine from us.
All the stock firms...
will analyze the companies about the result of this merger.
And there will be lots of reports about the change in financial field.
All with positive results, of course.
Also, not only stock firms...
but all the economic research labs...
have already analyzed it too.
They are going to constantly send it to the media little by little.
Yes, that is good,
- but do we have something stronger? - Don't worry about it.
I got something bigger with the help of Professor Choi.
Something bigger?
Today, National Pension Service...
expressed its position in favor of Daehan Bank's merger beforehand.
This prior decision of National Pension Service...
will have a great ripple effect...
on forming an opinion in favor of the merger...
before the general meeting.
So, they have the power to control National Pension Service?
and other stock firms...
(Final Episode will air shortly.)
Did you see the news this morning?
National Pension Service expressed its opinion,
which is kind of a threat for other institutes to follow.
What does that mean?
I mean, to get the money from National Pension Service,
they wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of it.
It has dozens of billions of dollars a year for its stock.
Who do you think is managing it?
It assigns hundreds of millions of dollars to each institute.
So, if National Pension Service expressed its opinion on one thing,
and if the institutes say they think differently,
do you think National Pension Service would like it?
Why do you worry so much?
Everything is going to be fine.
National Pension Service knows what they are doing.
You should trust them.
There are experts in the market in National Pension Service.
So, you two think...
it is okay for Daehan and Myeongseong to merge?
What do you mean you are going to vote for the merger?
Didn't you promise me that you would vote against it?
Hello?
Gosh.
Mr. Kang.
Are you really going to go this far?
National Pension Service announced that they will vote for the merger.
What horrible people.
Now they even use the National Pension Service.
What now?
I'm here, father.
Your father, Yook Gwan Sik...
has an important lead to expose the corruption of Daehan Bank.
But he's worried about his sons working for subsidiary companies,
so he doesn't provide the information to us.
Please,
help us.
Father, you don't have to worry about us.
When you got accused of everything and got abandoned by Mr. Kang,
we couldn't be any help but burdens.
I feel terrible about it.
My brother's coming back from America now.
Come inside.
You...
I really...
meant it.
Mr. Yook, help us, please.
I jotted down the things I did when I worked for Daehan Bank.
It's my memorandum.
A memorandum?
Yes, a memorandum.
I'm not sure if you can use it as evidence in court.
But this will help you find out...
the truth about D1 plan,
and the masterminds behind Mr. Kang.
(Restructuring in 2014... /First, invest on...)
(Second, reinforcement of digital investment)
I'm actually scared right now.
They control the economy of this country.
Taking down Mr. Kang won't change Daehan Bank.
It won't eradicate corruption in the bank.
After all, Mr. Kang is just one member of this big cartel.
Rather,
they might want to destroy Daehan Bank for attacking them.
As a former banker of Daehan Bank,
I hope that won't happen.
Good luck.
He gave us a scary warning.
They can destroy Daehan Bank?
If you start feeling irrational fear,
that's when you really can't do anything.
We have to show those who create that fear...
that we won't surrender.
And that justice always wins.
Mr. No is strong and upright.
But still,
you have to be careful.
In my opinion,
there's only one person...
who can solve this.
Mr. No came.
What's the occasion?
We have been investigating the D1 plan,
and here's the data about branches that were used for money laundering.
These are data for the money source of those who offered bribes.
And the data of Assemblyman Jung Soo Chan,
Vice-Chairman of National Economy Choi Jong Soo,
Director Park Jin Ho,
and your relatives.
So?
The person who granted final approval is not Yook Gwan Sik,
- but you. - How can you be so sure?
According to Yook Gwan Sik's memorandum,
Mr. Yook first knew about The BEST...
not when he was CFO when the D1 plan first started,
but when he was the vice-president when the plan was already ongoing.
You introduced him to them.
Like you introduced Ms. Han to them.
A memorandum of Yook Gwan Sik.
Is it trustworthy?
I believe this memorandum has value.
Also, he's going to testify in court if necessary.
You started D1 plan to get a huge profit from development.
It was a gold mine for politicians to take secret payments.
It was business for some chaebols...
to make a secret fund for their succession.
And for Daehan Bank...
What did it mean for Daehan Bank?
D1 plan was not...
a plan for someone to gain profit.
It was for the employees of Daehan Bank,
and for the customers of Daehan Bank.
No.
Daehan Bank was...
the money laundering place for black money from the political field.
Several illegal acts were done in that process,
and you had to let go of some of our employees to cover that.
The same goes for this merger.
I heard it from Ms. Han.
She said you gave up the branches...
to save Daehan's name and the first presidency.
Is that the welfare for employees you were talking about?
Are you sure you're not forcing this merger...
to get rid of me who's investigating on this,
and some board members who are against you?
It's your greed for the presidency.
It's your greed to be the president of a strong bank...
that creates all these ridiculous situations.
(Letter of resignation)
I have never used Daehan Bank...
for my self-interest.
I sacrificed my life for Daehan Bank.
Daehan Bank...
started 100 years ago,
during a dark period.
This bank was founded...
with the precious money people chipped in.
That precious bank...
started falling at some point.
I had to protect it.
I really wanted to protect it no matter what the cost was.
"For the bank."
"To protect the bank."
You always say the same thing.
No one told you...
to commit an injustice to protect this bank.
You made that choice on your own.
Injustice?
No, it's not an injustice.
How do you only see the goodness that is right in front of you?
Even if it might seem injustice right now,
if I can make a better future for this bank by taking it,
then I have to take it.
That's what a president does.
If you are a leader of an organization,
you have to make a bold decision sometimes.
A bank is all about trust and credit.
If a president of the bank...
compromises with injustice,
then he's giving up on the essence of the bank.
I can't agree with you on that.
- Do you know what "upsin" is? - No.
It's a deity that protects a household's fortunes.
It's called "up" or "upsin"...
in Korean.
All of us...
are upsin.
I need to protect...
the fortunes...
from the thieves.
In spite of all the slander.
No matter what kind of situation I am in.
No matter how dangerous it is, I need to protect it.
Because I'm the deity of fortunes.
And you're just like me.
That's why you came here to tell me this at this hour.
There is something humongous before us.
It's not even visible.
We know it's there, but we can't touch it.
We know it's close, but we can't see it.
And it can bring Daehan Bank down overnight.
I'm not going to hide from that invisible fear.
Is that right?
I appointed you to that position because I saw that in you.
Because I thought you could protect our bank.
I made you the auditor...
because I thought you'd be a better president than myself.
I'm sorry for letting you down.
No, you haven't let me down.
You just need a little more time.
You'll be able to become a much better president than me.
If the merger takes place,
a president selection committee will be formed.
If you exercise your influence,
we can attack President Kang from the rear.
I need your help.
Yes.
Don't try to conciliate me with the president position again.
I have no intention of becoming...
the president of Daehan Bank at all.
What kind of person has no desire for power?
Why did you take your position if you didn't have such desire?
Because it was a position that could change the bank.
I thought it'd help me make a better bank.
I thought it was a position...
that could fight against strong oppression that you mentioned.
Are you telling me...
to believe that?
No.
You obviously needed to take action.
Our bankers were scattering away,
and the branches were closing down. It's the desire.
Even if I take this to the prosecution,
those people with power might want to bury it.
It'll be no use then.
You're the only one...
who can cut off this link.
If you reveal this yourself,
they won't be able to bury or stop it easily.
And we'll be able to show the bankers and customers,
the actual owners of this bank, that we have self-refining ability.
We'll be able to show the people behind the scene...
that they can't do whatever they want with us.
Time is running out.
It's a courageous path that no one has taken yet.
I'd like you...
to untie the knot yourself.
I know.
I know how you feel.
But let me...
tell you this one thing.
However I look at you,
you aren't president material.
Being an auditor...
fits you perfectly.
Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
Don't worry,
and leave now.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E32 'The Banker' "Sam Do's Decision" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Daehan Bank...
has got a pillar.
We, Daehan Bank,
have decided to cancel the merger...
with Myeongseong Bank.
Thus, we have also called off...
the temporary shareholders' meeting.
Feeling deeply responsible for this incident,
I'd like to resign from...
the president position of Daehan Bank.
Thank you.
Please take good care of...
Daehan Bank.
Thank you...
for everything you've done, President Kang.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Breaking news. At 9am today, President Kang of Daehan Bank...
reported himself to the prosecution.
It's giving a shock to the public as the large-scale corruption...
that encompasses the financial and political circles...
has recently been found.
The prosecution has summoned the persons involved...
- This is a conspiracy. - this morning.
I'm innocent.
(Proxy President Lee Hae Gon)
Come in.
(Letter of Resignation)
Things are hectic in and out with President Kang's resignation.
And someone like you wishes to resign.
It's a shame.
I'm honestly a bit suspicious too.
Tell me, did another bank offer you a job or something?
Of course not.
And if I stay,
the president selection committee...
might nominate me too.
Is that what you want?
All right.
I'm not sure when, where, and how we'll run into each other again,
but I'll be looking forward to seeing you...
being much more successful in your career.
Thank you.
When you become president, do turn this bank anew.
Don't rely on any outside force as President Kang did.
I actually thought it'd be nice...
to have you as the next president.
That's what I want to say to you.
I have no experience in business management.
I'm not competent enough either.
No.
I think someone like you...
should open a new era.
You did change a lot of systems in the bank.
Such systems are practiced by people.
A fine system won't be any use...
if the employees can't do a good job.
Likewise, even an outstanding employee...
can't show his ability if the system is outdated.
Don't focus too much on people.
A system is the only means to watch people from going wrong.
- You think so? - Of course.
President Kang must not have been authoritative from the start.
What stopped his authoritative deeds...
is the auditing system.
Of course, there was No Dae Ho in that system.
But in the end, a biased perspective isn't good.
We always need balance and harmony.
The bank is losing someone who can give such nice advice.
How sad.
I've dreamed of a new Daehan Bank.
I might come back...
if I get to have a much broader perspective.
All right, make sure you come back.
That was really impressive.
It's thanks to our hard work together.
You're still so humble.
Anyway, now that President Kang resigned,
the president selection committee will be held soon.
You have the big support from the bankers,
so I'd like your help.
There's no need for me to help.
Ms. Han resigned too,
so you have no other competitors.
I do. It's you.
Secretary Song told me as he resigned.
That President Kang's last decision was you.
I've already given you my answer to it.
Vice-president Lee.
Please be an upright president
Don't forget...
that all the bankers including me...
are watching you.
Vice-president Lee.
It's around time for your dinner with the head of the FSS.
- I've got to go. Please excuse me. - No problem.
(1 year later)
First, you have a strategy meeting for the third quarter, sir.
Let's begin our meeting.
Hello, Ms. Han.
You're here.
You must be busy.
Is the chicken franchise market analysis which we requested ready?
Yes.
I looked into it,
and those businesses with an unclear governing structure are ranked high.
This kind of market may seem promising in the short run,
but the way I see it, it's not so sustainable.
Any other comments?
Despite the low entry barriers,
the profit changes of franchises are increasing.
I wrote the details in the report, so please refer to that.
Goodness, this is amazing.
It'll be of big help to the self-employed...
if I release an in-depth article with it.
You think so?
Hey.
I told you not to complicate the codes.
Hong Joo, this is simple enough.
Don't be too sensitive.
The app is working great.
Really?
I've already found 10 bugs.
Your pork cutlets are here.
Sir.
Do you do deliveries yourself?
To cut down the labor cost...
and to avoid my wife's nagging.
She can't watch me slack off when I'm the boss.
That's the same for my boss.
- He can't watch me slack off. - Do you want to get fired?
You shouldn't fire people unfairly.
- Or you might be inspected. - Inspection?
I'll be inspected then.
Can I have some more radish kimchi?
Sure.
Here you go.
Did you make this yourself?
Why is it so delicious?
I'm glad that you like it.
You should stop working here...
and open a restaurant.
You're so good at making radish kimchi.
Is it that good?
Yes.
It's all because I taught her my skills.
She wasn't good from the start.
- Right? - Right.
- Your delivery is here. - My delivery?
What delivery?
It's from Mr. Seo Bo Geol.
Bo Geol sent this?
What is this?
Goodness.
What on earth is it?
- What is it? - What is this for?
- What is it? - It looks expensive.
Well...
It looks expensive.
Hello?
Mom, did you get the package?
Yes, but hey.
What is this for?
You'll know when you use it.
Gwang Soo said it's the earliest when you think it's late.
You should invest in yourself too.
Goodness.
All right, my son is the best.
Goodness.
When are you coming home by the way?
What? I can't hear you. Hello?
- Bo Ram. - Yes, Mr. Seo?
Where do you think money comes from?
Money?
From those people.
What?
Their precious everyday life is where money comes from.
How did you know? Are you a genius?
Money earned through sacred labor.
I believe that's the hometown...
and the starting point of money.
Well, gosh.
Are you the little No Dae Ho or what?
Mr. Seo.
You can't communicate with Mi Ho for more than 10 minutes, can you?
No, how did you know?
It's not funny. It's not touching either. How dull.
Hey, Bo Ram.
It may not have been funny, but wasn't it touching?
Was it really dull?
Oh, right. Mom, I'm sorry.
I couldn't come with Dad because he went outside the city.
It's okay.
How are you doing at school?
It's the same every day.
What about you, Mom?
Are you getting better?
Of course.
I'm getting all better thanks to you.
Okay, bye.
Mr. No will go straight home after his off-site work.
Let's go out and have lunch ourselves.
Are we not going to the cafeteria then?
How about we have something like pasta in a while?
I'll have spaghetti alle vongole then. What about you, Mi Ho?
Spaghetti alle vongole?
Do you still like greasy food?
Let your big senior take you...
to a delicious place in Yeouido. Just follow me.
Hello, ma'am.
- You're here again, Mi Ho. - Yes.
- Take a seat. - Okay.
We'll have three bowls of sundae gukbap.
Okay, I'll put a lot of meat in it,
so take your time enjoying it.
Okay.
A bank should not be the subject of power and desire.
It should not be a tool...
to feed someone's greed.
A bank should be the heart of hope that helps those in need.
It should be the strength of the economy that keeps us going firmly.
Because its real owner...
is you.
We've got a report that your branch manager is involved in illegal loan.
From now on,
we'll begin...
the audit.
(Thank you for watching The Banker.)
