(Episode 31)
Give me the title of the first president...
of the newly merged Daehan Bank.
You want the title of the first president?
You've always...
looked highly at my competence no matter what.
That's right. I admit...
that you're competent.
The first president of the merged bank...
Of course,
it must be a position that gives me the real authority,
including the right to recommend non-executive directors.
If you promise to give me the title,
then the merger you want...
will happen.
Your goal is to make a holding company...
to become the chairman, right?
To be honest, I was thinking...
of recommending...
Vice President Han...
for the first president position.
You lost your chance at leaving Daehan Bank in honor.
You're finally...
showing your true self.
I'll make sure the merger with Myungsung Bank...
falls through.
After that,
it'll be your disgraceful resignation.
I'll show you what happens if you take me for a fool.
I'll make sure it's horrible.
I was able to catch a glimpse...
of Global Investment and British Capital...
on Vice President Lee's power of attorney.
The figures didn't look so good.
He's going to try and get ahold of either one of them.
Look into it.
She was in a state of shock, but she passed the critical stage.
You won't have to worry about it.
Thank you, doctor.
Dad,
I was so scared.
I thought I would have to say goodbye to her.
The doctor said she'll be fine. Don't worry.
The patient will need some rest now.
- You may return home. - All right.
Auditor Noh?
May I have a word with you?
President Kang was the final authorizer...
of the D1 Plan.
It specified how they were to acquire the land,
how they would get approval for the development plan,
and even mentioned plans to dismiss anyone...
who was refusing to accept the plan.
Since it is already destroyed, the only person who can testify...
is the past manager of the REITs Department,
Vice President Yook.
Vice President Yook? It's me, Han Su Ji.
Are you there?
It will only be a minute.
Vice President Yook!
Just leave me alone.
Wednesday, May 28, 2014.
President Kang's instructions from the executives' meeting.
First, take responsibility for management.
Second...
I told Mr. Jung to start over...
on the original copy of the D1 Plan.
The details were too weak.
You don't have to report everything to me.
I'm giving you full authority,
so you only need to tell me the overall situation.
Why don't you start over from the beginning?
Do you understand?
Mr. Song had come over to my house,
so I couldn't say anything. I apologize.
Is that so?
What was he doing at your place, though?
He was just trying to get information out of me...
and I only pretended to go with it.
I found out...
that President Kang is still thirsty for power.
He's trying to place himself as the chairman...
and the first president of the merged bank.
Are you saying that he's trying to hold the position...
of both chairman and president at the same time?
Yes. I know it's unbelievable.
President Kang is trying to cover up the public's criticism...
on his corrupt acts and consecutive terms...
with the merger.
If this goes on,
he's going to dismiss anyone who had been going against him,
which means you could be fired as well,
regardless of your remaining term.
Since he had opened up to me,
he will be in a hurry to begin his plans.
The general meeting of stockholders for the merger is coming up.
I will try to gather as many allies as I can.
You will need to dig up any malpractice of President Kang's...
that can persuade the stockholders.
All right, sir.
If we succeed in making the merger fall through this time,
I'm going to dismiss...
all the executives who initiated the merger, along with Kang Sam Do,
and build a new Daehan Bank.
Vice President Lee.
Go on, Auditor Noh.
I was hoping to tell you this one day, Vice President Lee.
If you are to take the place of president...
when President Kang resigns,
may I request for you to make a sincere apology and compensation...
to those who were harmed due to our bank?
Yes, of course.
I will need to become president in order to do that, then.
After you gave me those documents regarding President Kang,
I spent a lot of time thinking it through.
Are you going to admit the truth of President Kang now?
But something told me that wasn't the end of it.
It also felt like my entire life...
had been completely disappeared.
I wanted to find the beginning to all this.
That's why...
I went to find Vice President Yook, who was just released.
Vice President Yook has been released?
I recognized him on the street.
Secretary Kim told me that the bank had dropped the case,
but that wasn't it.
He was bailed out of it.
Why are you telling me just now?
So, what did he say? Did he tell you anything?
No, he wasn't home.
Either that or he was avoiding me.
I thought that Vice President Yook would open up at this state.
I hoped I'd be able to throw away...
the last strand of hope I have on President Kang.
"The last strand of hope on President Kang"?
Why?
Do you know what Vice President Lee told me?
He's trying to place himself as both the chairman...
and the first president when the merger goes through.
I knew it.
It does make sense.
That's why he told Mr. Song to...
What is it? What did he say?
During the merger negotiations,
we agreed to let Myungsung Bank handle the sales in exchange for...
using Daehan Bank's name and the place of first president.
What?
If the merger goes through,
they might close down even more of our branches...
than what happened last time, driving the employees out.
How can they give up such an important authority...
just like that?
Because Myungsung Bank was all against the merger!
It was President Kang's commands...
in order to prevent the merger from falling through.
That's what Mr. Song told me.
I was going to stop that from happening...
as soon as I became the president.
What do we do now?
Sir, you have a call coming in from British Capital in the UK.
Put me through.
What's up? Isn't it early morning in the UK?
Yes, but your bank called us 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 issued for you,
they will pay us 100 percent more in a special dividend...
after the shareholders' general meeting.
We even received an official letter about this.
You are 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.
Immediate profits...
don't mean much in the long term. Okay?
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.
You really are unbelievable, President Kang.
Both the companies you mentioned...
have promised to withdraw the power of attorney, sir.
Did you take follow-up measures?
We will need approval from the board of executives...
in order to pay the special dividend as promised.
All right.
Please carry on with it.
It's me, Auditor Noh, Vice President Yook.
May I talk to you for a minute?
I think he really is avoiding us.
We found out that most of the land...
in the D1 District belongs to President Kang's relatives.
Do you have anything to do with this?
Do you?
I don't hear anything.
Are you avoiding us because of your sons?
What did you just say?
How are you?
Are you well, Vice President Yook?
Do I look well?
I guess not.
What about my sons?
I'm now the vice president with full authority over HR.
I know enough about them.
Are you trying to use my sons to blackmail me now?
Why would I?
I feel sorry that you're held hostage...
because of your sons.
At first, I thought...
that you were behind everything.
The more I dug,
I made a conclusion...
that the actual mastermind was President Kang Sam Do.
The original report of the D1 Plan is gone,
and full responsibility will go to you...
because you were the last person to sign off on the papers.
Kang Sam Do's dog is investigating the D1 Plan?
No, you're mistaken.
Mr. Noh's trying to find out the truth for Daehan Bank.
Thanks to you taking the fall,
we can still charge President Kang.
To cover up his corruptions,
he's forcing a merger that's to our disadvantage.
Everything is still going on.
Do you think I don't hear or see anything?
Han Su Ji, you're President Kang's ally.
You're even head of the merger committee...
negotiating with Myungsung Bank.
What nonsense is all this?
That was then.
It's not true anymore? How can I believe that?
Does President Kang want to use me for something else?
Vice President Yook.
No, thanks.
I want to live in peace and quiet.
Let me ask you just one more thing.
The closing of the branches.
Did you give the order?
Why bring up the past?
It's not all in the past.
Many employees still struggle because they lost their jobs.
And some, like you, became high-ranking executives.
Yes.
Whatever you say,
many employees had to leave Daehan Bank.
Right now,
a disaster bigger than that time is looming before us.
If you think what you did...
in the past was wrong even a little bit,
please help us.
If not, hundreds or thousands of our employees...
will be forced to leave again.
Shut up!
How dare you put the blame on me?
Han Su Ji.
This is all the result of your negotiations.
Are you going to put the blame on President Kang to oust him,
then take his place?
- Vice President Yook. - Forget it!
Don't visit me over this again.
I plan to resign.
Once this is done,
I will take responsibility as well.
Please help us.
Leave my home.
What's he doing?
Do you need help, Mr. Noh?
I have a feeling that we left something out.
We must go back to square one and slowly go through what we know.
Mr. Seo.
Yes, sir?
Write down on the board what I say.
Here?
The center column is the method of fund circulation.
The hidden paper companies involved with Seomin...
such as our closed branches...
and borrowed name accounts.
How can I write all that down here?
Just the title.
Oh. Okay.
(Fund circulation method)
On the left, the companies that provided the funds.
For example,
corporate bodies like Haesan Construction...
and their owners' bank accounts.
That's the starting point.
Include those who own land...
in the D1 area and companies related to them.
They are the so-called "The Best" accounts.
What goes on the right?
The accounts we just found that belong...
to President Kang's relatives, The Four,
and President Kang's own accounts also.
The accounts which received the funds.
- From them. - Right.
The accounts that received the funds.
I see where this is going.
In the end,
what we must find out is the cash flow...
that leads to the accumulation of the slush fund.
With the borrowed name accounts as a reference point,
if we check the accounts which the money originated from...
and then ended up in simultaneously...
I have a feeling we might be able to find something.
I'll reorganize our data...
to fit what's on the board.
Also,
they could've deleted the accounts from which...
the money originated from and was finally deposited into.
We must check all the accounts...
that were deleted.
I'll list them up.
Okay.
Some accounts must have been deleted.
The data is kept for a certain amount of time.
If we restore all those accounts...
and analyze them...
Then what shall I do?
Mr. Seo.
Bring us some paper onto which we'll print everything.
By the box.
Thursday, March 26, 2015.
Promoted to vice president.
I finally joined the inner circle.
Hello.
I'm Choi Jong Soo.
You can call me Mr. Choi.
It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Choi.
You'll know me.
Nice to meet you, Vice President Yook.
President Kang rarely speaks well of others,
but he spoke a lot about you.
I hope we get along.
Nice to meet you, Assemblyman Jung.
He's managing the D1 Plan.
Please give him the support he needs.
It's a fight they cannot win.
Are you tired, Mr. Noh?
I am a bit.
Use the massage chair.
It's there for the auditors to use,
but the wrong people seem to use it more.
Not that much.
Shall I have a go then?
(Menu)
(Brain massage)
(Start)
[VIU Ver] MBC E31 'The Banker' "Su Ji & Dae Ho Trying to Persuade Kwan Shik" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
If they used borrowed name accounts,
it was to divide the funds and withdraw as cash...
to make sure no one can trace the flow.
That's right.
Yes.
The trail fizzled out there and we got lost.
As long as it was delivered correctly,
the money's bound to gather back in one place.
As long as we can guess the flow,
it must have left a trace.
Mr. Moon.
All the accounts from here to here.
Can you arrange the total amounts?
And on the dates...
that those amounts were withdrawn,
see if anything...
on the far side of the right column corresponds to that.
Here you go.
Vice President.
Yes? What is it?
It's nothing.
You can speak.
The employees...
who own our bank's stock.
Do you know...
that they're being forced to sign that they approve the merger?
The general managers have a quota.
- What? - Not only that.
If they refuse to sign yes,
they're threatened with disadvantages.
How is that possible?
The general managers give them personnel ratings.
So the employees aren't sure if it's about...
the merger or personnel ratings.
What I mean is,
who would give such nonsensical instructions?
Chief Secretary Song Ki Yeol.
Mr. Kim.
The secretaries assist the president.
They don't give direct orders to employees.
We're aware of that but...
Send out an official document right now.
They're to destroy the papers that were signed,
and anyone who owns our shares...
will vote digitally in person.
If any general manager marks someone down...
for anything other than performance,
reprimand him or her immediately.
Okay. I'll do that, Ms. Han.
Yes, Chairman Park.
Things aren't ideal at the moment,
but with your help, I think I can turn things around.
Broadly speaking,
the consensus on the merger is positive.
There's not much I can do to help.
It's up to you to convince the shareholders.
I'll do that somehow.
Very well.
At 3pm today,
at Yonehara in Chiba Prefecture,
there'll be a secret meeting.
If you're there,
you'll meet a few of the people you'd like to see.
I'll text you the details shortly.
- Thank you. - Give your father my regards.
And your bank's auditor.
Do you mean Auditor Noh Dae Ho...
who is working with me?
From what I heard,
he seems to be gaining favor with the staff of your bank.
You'd better not go through all this just to help someone else.
Mr. Noh's not that kind of person.
It's not like the staff's favor makes a bank president.
These days, that could be a huge advantage.
You should hurry. I'll hang up now.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
(Vice President Lee Hae Gon)
Get me a flight to Japan right now.
It's urgent.
Vice President Lee left urgently to Japan on a business trip.
- To Japan? - Yes.
Could it be...
All right.
Also,
please take a look at this.
(Revoking the power of attorney from shareholding employees...)
(and digitalizing the voting process)
What is this?
Gosh. Han Su Ji.
Is she trying to get rid of...
our internal stockholders at an important time like this?
I received information...
about a meeting happening next week between major shareholders...
and unknown VVIPs...
at the Yonehara Golf Club in Chiba Prefecture.
But, Vice President Lee suddenly got a flight ticket...
and left for Japan.
It looks like the meeting isn't happening next week.
It's happening today.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to realize this in time.
I bet this will influence...
the number of votes in favor here.
Also,
you should look at this official document.
(Revoking the power of attorney from shareholding employees)
"Revoking the power of attorney from shareholding employees"?
Yes, 2.8 percent of our internal shareholders...
were included in our final count,
but Vice President Han told them...
to vote digitally on their own.
From now on, they'll either stay neutral...
or go against it.
Vice President Han betrayed us.
It happened a day apart.
(Financial Transactions)
Of course.
They needed the time to get to work, to deliver,
and to deposit.
Good work.
I also helped him.
Good job, Mr. Seo.
Now that we've found the trace,
we'll be able...
to find more clues if we just follow its flow.
President Kang, his relatives,
Assemblyman Jung Soo Chan, Director Park Jin Ho of FSS,
and Choi Jong Soo of National Economy Advisory Council.
Check all of their accounts as well.
If there were any accounts that were closed,
make them the priority.
I found another one.
The relatives of President Kang who bought land in D1 District...
continuously received laundered money to their accounts.
There were also deposits made to Jung Soo Chan,
Park Jin Ho, and Choi Jong Soo.
They're all linked to each other.
Seomin related shell companies...
used borrowed-name bank accounts to launder the money,
then they made deposits to President Kang's relatives...
to purchase the land here. So our assumption was right.
Same goes for the others.
There's no reason for these people to send money...
to President Kang's relatives and acquaintances.
The circumstances prove that this is evidence...
they sent money to President Kang.
We have proof of all the others,
but President Kang...
His bank account was clean.
He didn't close any accounts either.
(International Flights)
Auditor Noh, we need to talk.
I heard that you went on a business trip to Japan.
You came back so soon.
I heard that a few of our major shareholders are in Japan,
so I met them in a rush to get their votes against the merger.
You're amazing.
How is it going on your side?
We're almost done finding the money that was laundered...
by the so-called "The Four".
We also found the conglomerates that sent slush funds too.
Did you? That's great.
Did you find evidence for President Kang?
Well...
We have yet to find anything on President Kang.
Could it be that he's meticulous?
Or is there really no evidence?
We only have circumstantial evidence,
so we're continuing our search.
Also, I'm still thinking about how I should handle this.
Please show me the documents you've found.
I will.
As for how you should handle this...
We must bring down President Kang...
without damaging the reputation of Daehan Bank.
That's the way it should be handled.
We're doing this for Daehan Bank, aren't we?
We are.
If the situation blows up bigger than what we can control,
all the executives including you will have to resign.
I'm not too attached to my job.
Even if every staff is looking for you?
What do you mean?
People are disgusted by President Kang and his corruption.
Meanwhile, you have an innocent image.
What if everyone wants you...
to become the president?
I don't deserve the president title,
nor am I interested.
All right.
Anyhow, we still need to have the upper hand...
in this situation.
What about Hae Gon?
He landed back in Korea,
but he hasn't come to the office.
If he returned that fast,
that means he already got what he wanted.
In the case that this causes a problem,
I've asked Assemblyman Jung for his help.
Mr. Park.
Since it came to this,
we must help President Kang to our best abilities.
The bigger Daehan Bank gets,
the more we'll be able to make use of it.
We can't let...
Lee Hae Gon steal it away.
Every stock firm...
will report their analyses regarding the merger...
and what kind of changes it'll bring...
to the financial industry.
Of course, they'll all have positive views.
In addition, it won't be just from the financial sector.
Economic research institutes...
have concluded positive analyses as well.
We'll leak them continuously to the media.
All right. That's great,
but is there anything that might be more powerful?
Don't worry.
Mr. Choi is preparing something big in the States.
"Something big"?
At 9am this morning, National Pension Service...
announced their statement of opinion...
in favor of Daehan Bank's merger.
National Pension Service's preliminary announcement...
will cause a great influence...
to the voting result regarding the merger,
with Daehan Bank's general meeting of stockholders coming ahead.
Does this mean they have the power...
to move the National Pension Service?
The Blue House said that...
(Final Episode will air shortly.)
(Ads 00:28:57 --> 00:29:27)
Did you watch the news this morning?
The National Pension Service made a preliminary announcement.
Isn't this practically a threat to tell the other institutions...
to do the same?
What do you mean?
If you want any of the funds from the National Pension Service,
you shouldn't go against their opinion.
They manage billions of dollars in funds each year.
Who manages them all?
Each institution is given millions of dollars...
to manage them.
The National Pension Service decided on their vote,
but if institutional investors say they'll go the other way,
then the National Pension Service won't favor them.
Don't be so offensive.
I'm sure they're just choosing to do what's best.
Exactly. I'm sure the National Pension Service...
knows what they're doing.
They wouldn't do something without reason.
All the market experts are there.
Do you two think...
we should have the merger between the two banks?
What do you mean you'll suddenly change your vote for the merger?
Didn't you promise to vote against it?
I...
Hello?
Darn it.
President Kang.
Are you going to go this far?
(National Pension Service Supports Daehan Bank's Merger)
National Pension Service made an announcement...
How scary.
They even got the National Pension Service on their side.
It will come to materialize.
What is it this time?
Father. I'm here.
Your father, Mr. Yook,
has critical evidence to prove...
Daehan Bank's corruptions and illegal activities.
But because he's worried about his two sons...
working at Daehan Bank and its affiliate,
he's unable to hand over the documents.
I'm begging you. Please.
Help us.
Father, you don't have to do this because of us.
When President Kang dumped you and accused you of everything,
I'm sorry for not standing by you,
and dragging you down.
Brother is on his way from America.
Let's talk inside.
You're really...
I am...
serious.
Mr. Yook. Help me.
I wrote down...
some of the things that happened while I was in Daehan Bank.
It's my memorandum.
- Your memorandum? - Yes, a memorandum.
I'm not sure if this will be accepted as evidence in court.
But it will act as a guide to figure out...
the truth of D1 Plan that you're looking for,
and the group of people behind President Kang.
(Enhancing Digital Finance)
I'm scared, to be honest.
That group of people...
controls the nation's economy.
You can't change Daehan Bank just by catching President Kang.
You won't be able to get rid of corruption and irregularities.
President Kang is just another toothed wheel...
in that enormous cartel.
Instead,
they might try...
to destroy Daehan Bank for standing up against them.
As a former member of Daehan Bank,
I sincerely hope that doesn't happen.
Good luck.
That's a pretty scary warning.
A group of people that can destroy Daehan Bank?
The moment we fear something that can't be seen,
we won't be able to do what we have to do.
We have to show the people who follow that fear.
That we will never back down.
And that justice will prevail.
You're such a strong, steady person.
But we should know what to be careful of.
I think...
there's only one person...
who can solve this.
Auditor Noh is here.
What's the occasion?
These are the documents on branches affiliated...
with money laundering and D1 Plan that we have been investigating.
These are the documents on the sources of funds...
of conglomerate's children who offered bribes.
Assemblyman Jung Soo Chan,
Choi Jong Soo, Vice President of National Economy Advisory Council,
Park Jin Ho, Director of FSS,
and your relatives. These are the documents on those.
So what?
The final approval of D1 Plan...
wasn't given by Yook Kwan Shik, it was you.
How can you be sure of that?
According to the memorandum wrote by Vice President Yook,
he didn't find out about D1 Plan when he was a senior director...
which was when D1 Plan had first started.
He found out about it...
when he was Vice President and D1 Plan was already in progress.
You introduced him to D1 Plan,
just like you did to Han Su Ji.
Is Yook Kwan Shik's memorandum...
a reliable source?
I think this evidence has certain values to it.
Mr. Yook will also testify if needed, of course.
D1 Plan was written to monopolize on development profits.
It worked as a permanent source of funds for politicians,
and as a business to create huge amount of secret funds...
to be used for the succession of corporates.
How about Daehan Bank?
What did this plan mean to Daehan Bank?
D1 Plan...
was not a business to be taken advantage of.
It was for the survival of Daehan Bank's employees,
and the profit for the customers of Daehan Bank.
No. Daehan Bank was merely a counter...
for laundering black money...
in the political and financial world.
Numerous irregularities were committed during the process,
and many of my colleagues had to leave this bank to hide those.
This merger is the same thing.
I heard from Vice President Han.
You gave away one of our branches...
for the title of Daehan Bank and the first President.
Was that also for the survival of our employees?
Weren't you pushing this merger through...
to get rid of me for investigating D1 Plan,
and the executives for revolting against you?
Your desire for the position of President,
and your desire for a powerful Daehan Bank,
aren't those the reason that's putting everyone in danger?
(Vice President Han Su Ji)
(Letter of resignation)
I have never taken advantage of Daehan Bank...
for my selfish interests and desires.
I've devoted my whole life to Daehan Bank.
Daehan Bank...
was founded 100 years ago...
with the precious assets...
collected from the people in hard times.
That bank was going out of business...
at some point.
I had to protect it.
I wanted to protect it by any means necessary.
It was for the bank.
It was to protect the bank.
You always say the same thing.
No one ever told you...
to commit injustices...
to protect the bank.
You made the choice.
Injustices?
No, it was not injustice.
Why do you only see the right and wrong of what's in front of you?
Even when an opportunity seems like injustice,
if it will bring development to this bank,
you have to seize the opportunity!
That's what President is for.
A leader of an organization...
has to make tough choices aggressively!
Trust and credit equal life for a bank.
And if a leader of a bank...
compromises with what looks like injustice,
it means the bank had given up its own life.
I'm afraid I cannot agree with you on that.
Auditor Noh, have you heard of Guardian Eop?
No.
The guardian who protects property and warehouse of a house.
That's called either Eop...
or Guardian Eop.
We're all...
Guardian Eops.
From the thieves trying to steal the property from our warehouse,
I have to protect it.
Whether I was set up or I'm in trouble.
I have to protect it...
under any circumstances. Why?
Because I'm a Guardian Eop.
Auditor Noh, you're also a Guardian Eop.
That's why we're...
talking about this so late at night.
But there is something big as a mountain standing before us.
We can't see it.
We know it's there, but we can't even touch it.
There's the great evil that we cannot see...
even though it's close.
And it can demolish Daehan Bank overnight.
I will not hide behind the fear that can't be seen.
Is that so?
I made you the auditor because I saw that in you.
I made you the auditor because I thought...
you were a person that can protect this bank!
I made you the auditor because I knew you'd become...
a better president of this bank!
I'm sorry if I let you down.
You haven't. Not yet.
When the time comes,
you can be a far better president than me.
If the merger goes through,
I'm sure we'll meet at the committee with Chairmen and Presidents.
If you were to exercise your influence,
we can come from behind President Kang.
Help me.
Sure.
Do not try to cajole me with the presidency again.
I don't want to become...
Daehan Bank's president a single bit.
How can someone not want to succeed...
or gain power?
If you didn't have such desires, why did you become an auditor?
Because I believed...
I could change the bank with that position.
I believed I could...
contribute towards making a better bank.
I believed I could...
use that title to fight the great evil you speak of.
Do you think...
I'll believe that?
No.
You would've shouted out.
When the branches were closed...
and staff let go, you should've called out.
You had desires!
Even if I take this to a prosecutor,
if those with power wish to cover it up,
it will be of no use.
Only you can...
end this vicious cycle.
If you expose yourself,
they will not be able to cover it up so easily.
This way, we can prove to our real masters,
the staff, and customers...
that we're able to correct ourselves.
We can show those hidden in the shadows...
that we're not a bank to be trifled with.
There's not much time.
This is a path of courage that no one has taken before.
I hope...
that you will undo the mess that you created.
I know.
I know where you are coming from.
There's one thing...
I wish to say to you.
However much I think,
you're not cut out to be a president.
An auditor...
is the job for you.
Thank you.
You did well.
Don't worry.
You can leave.
[VIU Ver] MBC E32 'The Banker' "Sam Do's Decision" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I've found someone...
to keep Daehan Bank strong.
Our Daehan Bank...
will no longer push forward...
the merger with Myungsung Bank.
Therefore,
I ordered that the temporary...
shareholder meeting be cancelled.
I feel strongly responsible for the current situation...
and would like to resign...
as President of Daehan Bank.
Thank you.
(Daehan Bank)
Take good care...
of Daehan Bank for me.
I will.
You did...
very well for years, President Kang.
Thank you.
We have a news flash. At 9am this morning,
Daehan Bank's President Kang Sam Do...
turned himself into the Prosecutors' Office.
A huge scandal surfaced,
involving powerful men...
in finance, business, and politics.
It sent shock-waves through society.
Prosecutors subpoenaed...
- those involved... - I'm not at all involved.
I'm clean.
(Deputy President Lee Hae Gon)
Come in.
(Letter of Resignation)
President Kang stepped down...
and things are a mess inside and out.
A talented person like you wishes to leave now?
It's a pity,
but I'm also somewhat suspicious.
So,
did you get an offer from another bank?
Would I have?
If I were to stay on,
wouldn't the presidential election...
committee make me a candidate too?
Is that what you want?
We never know when, where, and how...
we will meet again.
I look forward to seeing you...
as a better person in a better position.
Thank you.
When you become the president,
please create a new Daehan Bank.
Don't rely on outside forces like President Kang did.
To be honest, I wanted you...
to become the president more than Vice President Lee.
I'd like you to become the president.
I've never been in management.
And I am not cut out for the title.
No.
I think a president like you...
should bring in a new era.
You've changed the bank's system.
It's people that run the system.
Even a good system...
is of no use if the staff can't work within it.
And even the best of staff...
can't demonstrate their ability in an old system.
Don't focus on people too much.
When a person does wrong,
only the system is capable of keeping them in check.
- Is that so? - Yes.
President Kang wouldn't have been so dogmatic from the start.
It was the auditing system that caught him out.
Although a person called Noh Dae Ho was involved,
in the end, a lopsided view is never good.
Balance and harmony are always needed.
I'm losing someone who can give such good advice.
That's very sad.
I dreamed of a new Daehan Bank.
When I have a broader view of things,
maybe I'll come back.
Okay. You must return.
It was incredible.
It was the result of the joint efforts of many.
You're still so humble.
President Kang has left...
and a committee will recommend a few presidential candidates.
The staff strongly support you.
I hope you support me.
There's not much I can do for you.
Vice President Han resigned.
I don't see anyone who could possibly be your competition.
I do.
You.
Mr. Song told me when he tendered his resignation.
That President Kang's final choice...
was you.
I believe I already gave you my answer on that.
Vice President Lee.
I hope you become a righteous leader.
An auditor like myself isn't the only one watching you.
All of your employees will be watching too. Don't forget.
Vice President Lee,
it's almost time for your dinner with the director of FSS.
I have to get going as I have a meeting.
All right.
(One year later)
You have a strategic meeting at your office, President Lee.
All right. Let's start the meeting.
(Manager Han Su Ji)
Hello, Manager Han.
You're here.
You must be really busy.
Is the market analysis...
on chicken restaurants we requested finished?
Yes.
I found out that corporates with unclear corporate governance...
were ranked on the top.
Their market might grow for the time being,
it's hard to say if they'll be sustainable.
What about the rest?
Although it's easy for one to enter the industry,
each company is seeing bigger fluctuations in profit.
It's written in detail in that report,
so you can refer to it.
This is great content.
If I write an article about this,
it'll be very useful for those who are self-employed.
Do you think so?
Are you serious? Don't make the coding so messy.
This is nice and clean in my opinion.
You're being too sensitive.
It's working fine.
Is it?
I just found 10 bugs.
Your pork cutlets are here.
Sir.
Do you make your own deliveries?
I can save on labor costs,
and I also get a break from my wife's nitpicking.
She can't see me taking a rest. I'm the owner, after all.
Same with my boss.
He won't let me take a break.
Do you want to get fired?
Don't be like that, Mr. Moon.
You'll get audited for unfair dismissal.
"Audited"?
Then I'll be thankful.
Can I get more radish kimchi?
Sure.
Here you go.
Did you make this yourself?
Why is it so tasty?
I'm glad you like it.
Don't work here as an employee. You should open your own store.
You're an expert at making radish kimchi.
Gosh.
- Do you like it that much? - Yes.
It's because I taught her how to make it.
Do you think she was good from the beginning?
- Am I right? - Yes, ma'am.
You have a package.
A package? What package?
It's from Seo Bo Geol.
Bo Geol sent me something?
What is it?
- Gosh. - What is it?
What? What is this?
- What is it? - What is it for?
- What? - It looks expensive.
What is it?
I don't know what it is.
Hello?
Mom, did you get my package?
Yes. By the way,
what is it for?
Where do I use it?
You'll see when you try it.
Mr. Park told me that it's never too late.
I thought you should spend some time to pamper yourself.
Gosh.
Thank you. You're the best.
By the way, when are you coming?
I suddenly can't hear you. I'll call you later.
- Bo Ram. - Yes, Mr. Seo.
Where do you think money is from?
Money?
From them.
What?
Each of their precious day...
is where money is from.
How did you know that? Are you a genius?
They get money in exchange for their sacred labor.
That's where money is really from.
It's their starting point.
You're like a smaller version of Auditor Noh.
Mr. Seo.
You can't carry a conversation with Ms. Jang...
for more than 10 minutes, can you?
No. How did you know that?
You're too boring. You don't how to impress people.
You're so old-fashioned.
Hey, Bo Ram.
I may be boring, but don't I impress people?
Was it really old-fashioned?
(Seohyun University Hospital)
- Right. Mom. - Yes?
Dad couldn't come because he's out of Seoul.
It's okay.
How's school?
It's always the same.
What about you? How are you?
Do you feel better than before?
Of course.
I'm getting better thanks to you, Han Sol.
All right. Okay.
The auditor will go straight home after his outside duty.
Let's have lunch on our own.
We don't have to go to the company cafeteria, then.
Should we have pasta?
I'll have spaghetti alle vongole. What about you?
Spaghetti alle vongole?
Why do you like oily foods?
As your senior at the Audit Office,
I'll take you to a good restaurant in Yeoui-do. Follow me.
Hello, Ms. Im.
Are you back again, Mi Ho?
- Get a table. - Okay.
We'll get three blood sausage soups.
Okay. I'll give you extra meat.
Make sure you chew well.
I will.
(Han Su Ji Economic Research Institute)
A bank shouldn't become the object of authority and greed.
It should never degenerate to become the window...
to fill up someone's dark pockets.
A bank must become a hopeful heart...
to help those in need to get up.
They must become the economic veins...
to help us become stronger.
Because the true owners of a bank...
is you.
I received a report saying that the branch manager...
is related to an illegal loan.
I'll now...
start the audit.
(Thank you for watching The Banker.)
