(Episode 21) (Sirens wailing)
Scalpel.
What happened?
More importantly, how is he?
He's having an emergency surgery,
but we'll have to see how it goes as his stab wounds are critical.
How did this happen?
Were there any witnesses?
Actually, he and I were to meet with Bae Dong Seok.
This happened while I was having a phone call...
regarding personnel transfers.
He was already stabbed and on the ground alone...
when an employee found him.
Then maybe this Bae Dong Seok…
There are no witnesses,
but he would be our prime suspect.
Why in the world...
would he stab Vice-president Lee?
Bae Dong Seok was the CAO of Seomin Policy Research Institute.
He was also the core leader of the D1 plan.
He must have done something fishy.
Even so, how could he harm a person?
What will happen to us now?
You would return to the Tech Team.
Ms. Jang is now a teller...
as you always wished.
I will be going to the PR Team so...
it's not so bad as I'm still staying at the headquarters in Seoul.
The problem is the timing.
Why was such an urgent personnel transfer announced now?
They are cutting off Auditor No's hands and feet.
Auditor No's right hand, left hand, neck...
Anyways, we can't just back off like this.
Let's protect the Audit Team by fighting with vacation days.
We've got breaking news.
Vice-president Lee from Daehan Bank was found stabbed...
by unidentified men. He was found and reported by...
a restaurant employee...
at around 9 pm in Paju, Gyeonggi-do and…
Didn't Auditor No go to see Vice-president Lee?
Oh my gosh, it looks like he has been hurt badly.
Is Auditor No okay?
Auditor No...
He suffered this tragedy where he was to...
meet with a Bae, a former CAO.
- He was immediately transferred... - Mr. Bae from Seomin Policy...
Research Institute. Don't forget this name.
How could this happen?
How in the world are you handling the work?
I said clean up Bae Dong Seok, not make him a troublemaker.
How did you let him stab the vice-president of Daehan Bank?
I apologize.
I was going to handle this discreetly...
By the way, why did Bae Dong Seok...
stab Vice-president Lee?
He wasn't really meddling with us.
It seemed like his weakness was played on personally.
The timing is bad.
We were just let go after being scolded by the grandpas...
and now that Daehan Bank was involved again...
President Kang has a hot temper. He won't let this go.
He won't think that we ordered this, would he?
It can't be. What would we benefit from stabbing Vice-president Lee?
Hold on. Who benefits the most from stabbing Vice-president Lee?
Could it be that...
President Kang is behind all this?
There were rumors about Mr. Lee usurping President Kang's place.
This...
might come in handy for us.
How is Lee Hae Gon?
He is still undergoing surgery.
It seems more serious than we thought.
Is it certain that...
- it was Bae Dong Seok? - The restaurant employee...
who was the last witness said that...
the man seen with Vice-president Lee and who ran away...
was definitely Bae Dong Seok.
What a trash.
Do you think he did it alone?
He does like money, but he was never stupid enough to...
commit something like this on his own.
There must be someone looking after him.
It's Jo Hyun Gwon from Haesan Construction.
What is it?
I saw the news about Vice-president Lee and was worried.
What's going on?
Why are you asking me?
It seems like this was ordered by you.
What are you talking about?
In fact, I called you so that you don't get any wrong ideas.
We broke all connections with Bae Dong Seok.
- You know that. - But not the deal between you.
And to be frank,
isn't this good for you, Mr. Kang?
Word was out that Vice-president Lee was going to team up with...
Bae Dong Seok against you. This accident removed both your...
enemy and an annoying subordinate.
In my eyes, you benefited the most from this incident.
It seems like your father...
has raised you wrong.
If it's not us and not you...
then who would be the real mastermind?
Anyways, I was just going to tell you this has nothing to do with us.
That's for me to decide.
One thing for sure...
is that Daehan Bank was affected.
How is he?
The surgery went well, but...
he is still unconscious.
I stopped talking earlier on because of Secretary Kim, but...
Seomin Policy Research Institute's Bae Dong Seok.
He was pretty much the commander of the D1 plan.
You know that, right?
Well, you must know all about it as you saw the original document.
What the D1 plan is, and who the masterminds are.
That's why I stopped you.
You don't have a chance against them.
Is that why you transferred my team?
So that we can't dig into the D1 plan?
Today it was Vice-president Lee but it could have been you!
That's how risky this is.
And this is the result of covering up your ears and mouth?
Vice-president Lee wasn't just hurt.
His life is in danger!
That's why I warned you!
I transferred your people to a safe place...
where they could show off their talents for you.
Are you seriously...
Is there any...
connection between the Audit Team's disbanding and Vice-president Lee?
That's not it.
President Kang ordered the personnel transfer, but...
it was already decided before...
Vice-president Lee's incident.
The new secretary Song Ki Yeol who replaced Secretary Kim.
He served President Kang for 15 years and was...
the head of another affiliate before returning.
Please don't pick a fight and stay low...
as he's someone to be really careful about.
For what?
Why?
For whom?
The D1 plan is Daehan Bank's One Building Project.
It's about bringing Daehan Bank...
into one building and use it as the head office to globally...
Quit with the lip service!
How many people have to die until you come back to your senses?
Those who set the sundae gukbap place on fire for D1 development,
those who stabbed Vice-president Lee for knowing about D1 plan.
Ms. Han,
you are working with such people.
Is it okay to use dirty means as long as the goal sounds pleasing?
Is this the ideals of a banker which you talked about?
You told me to stand at the forefront and think about...
how to improve the bank instead of finding others' faults from behind.
I want to return...
that advice to you.
Vice-president Lee...
should gain consciousness soon.
I'm worried for him.
Me too.
I'll have to...
break down Haesan.
I'm sorry.
We have orders saying loan extension cannot be made for Haesan.
What?
That can't be.
Sir, I'm at Daehan Bank's main branch.
I was told that we cannot extend the corporate loan. What's going on?
What?
- Why all of a sudden? - I'm not sure.
They told me that our debt ratio...
is too high for an extension.
They told me to check with our company.
Is there anything you know?
I'll check.
Sir, this is General Manager Jang from the Financial Team.
Daehan Bank rejected our loan.
- Why? - I'm not sure why.
We might go into first insolvency.
Okay, I'm hanging up.
Mr. Jo, we have a problem.
We might go into first insolvency as Daehan Bank is rejecting our loan.
What?
Okay.
I'll take care of this.
Make sure word doesn't get out in the industry.
Find out what is happening!
It's not really...
you this time?
It's all President Kang's misunderstanding.
What good will it do to us...
to stab Vice-president Lee?
President Kang is a cautious man.
He wouldn't do such things without a good reason.
Everything comes with a cause and a result.
Who benefited the most from Vice-president Lee's incident?
Isn't it President Kang?
As you know, we've cut our ties with Bae Dong Seok and...
everyone knows that Vice-president Lee wants the president's position.
CAO Bae was the closest to...
President Kang...
from the beginning. Wouldn't it make sense that...
President Kang got rid of Lee Hae Gon...
with Bae Dong Seok behind him?
- He wouldn't go that far. - No, no.
We don't know that.
He is very secretive.
The pressure he is putting on Haesan with Vice-president Lee as excuse.
I believe this all to be...
President Kang's plan.
Please help me out.
The only ones who can stop President Kang's...
tyranny are you.
I'll try talking to him as you're in a bad situation.
But he's just like a bulldozer.
Once you make him unhappy,
it's difficult to get his trust back.
If Haesan goes shaky,
it will negatively affect the economy as well.
This is concerning.
That's why...
I've come to meet you in person to ask you for your favor.
It's me.
How did it go?
Bae Dong Seok tried to hand over...
the information on the D1 plan to Lee Hae Gon.
There was a minor incident while handling him.
But you shouldn't have let something like that from happening.
I'm sorry.
I'll find Bae Dong Seok as soon as I can and handle him.
No, no.
Things got interesting.
Find Bae Dong Seok and...
bring him to me.
Okay.
Head Manager of the Compliance Office, Im Chang Jae.
I have high expectations on the new head office.
Congratulations on your promotion.
You're the earliest among your colleagues, right?
Yes, thank you.
I believe that...
there is an uneasiness around the bank due to...
Vice-president Lee's incident.
This is when you should tighten discipline...
and demonstrate to the customers that Daehan Bank...
remains unshaken.
Yes.
In fact, I...
observed your abilities when...
you exposed Vice-president Yook's...
illegal loans.
Now that you have a good chance,
show off what you can do.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E21 'The Banker' "President Kang & Haesan Construction" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
From now on, any documents for the Audit Team...
must be revised by the Compliance Head Office.
In fact, the attack on Vice-president Lee...
seems to have occurred as the Audit Team...
went overboard making an investigation on their own.
Make sure to control the information so that this doesn't happen again.
Yes.
It seems like things calmed down for the Audit Team as well.
I see that you are on your own without your teammates.
Ah, yes.
There have been some personnel transfers.
Are you also being transferred, Mr. Song?
Haven't you heard?
General Manager Im Chang Jae...
has been assigned to the new Compliance Head Office and...
will collectively manage Inspection and Risk Management Team.
But why...
I'm...
also transferred from the...
Inspection Team to be a PB director at a branch in the countryside.
It seems like I...
displeased those high up for helping out with the secret audit...
in exposing Secretary Kim.
Oh, my.
I'm sorry.
No need to be sorry.
Frankly, it was...
fun and exciting to make...
a true inspection.
I'll be at a distance but I'll still wish you the best.
He took a day off on his first day of transfer?
This Seo Bo Geol...
was the nut head among the Audit Team.
Did Moon Hong Joo pick up weird habits from the Audit Team?
He even hung out at the office on holidays...
and now a day off?
What's she thinking? A teller taking a day off on her first day.
Well, yeah.
I heard that she was the Audit Team's secretary.
Why did she get assigned as a teller all of a sudden?
Here are your coffees.
Thank you.
Dig in.
It's savory.
It relieves my stress to have coffee with a sweet snack.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
But...
what should we do?
Using our vacation days will last a week at most.
Did you get any orders...
from Auditor No?
Not yet.
He must still be out of his mind...
with the vice president's incident.
I read on the news...
that he's still unconscious.
Seriously,
I knew that they were bad guys when they burned the restaurant.
But I didn't expect them to be trashy enough to harm a person.
That's why they are trying to cover it up.
The Audit Team was about to reveal the channels for illegal funds,
so they deleted the data at the Busan Data Center.
They were still anxious...
which is why they disbanded the Audit Team.
Either way, General Manager Im is the beneficiary of this transfer...
as he became the Head Manager of the new Compliance Office.
Actually, the new Chief Secretary is an executive.
Secretary Song Ki Yeol? Do you know him?
I don't know him either.
I just know him as the former secretary of the president.
It's unfortunate that Hae Gon had to go through such a tragedy,
but Sam Do.
Weren't you too emotional?
Haesan is saying that they didn't do it.
What are you going for, taking such revenge on Haesan?
You've scared them enough.
Why not let it go now?
Their loans are due soon.
That's right.
If word gets out on first insolvency, it could look bad.
Besides, Haesan Construction is...
the construction company for the development of our D1 plan.
You put so much effort on this company.
Why would you want to bring it down?
If Haesan is unstable, it affects our economy.
Mr. Kang.
Don't react emotionally, and think rationally.
I can't be more rational than I am right now.
Do you know what is the debt ratio of Haesan Group?
It is over 400.
So, before their performance gets seriously poor,
I need to manage the risk as head of Daehan Bank.
Why do you make such a big deal out of it?
It is nothing new that Haesan has a high debt ratio.
You should at least let them breathe.
Are you going to let them go broke like that?
Assemblyman Jung.
I haven't even started yet.
You probably made Bae Dong Seok...
stab Lee Hae Gon,
and blamed it on Haesan, didn't you?
- Huh? - Frankly,
you never really liked Lee Hae Gon.
You can be honest with us.
Was it you?
This is ridiculous to hear what you say.
What are you even talking about?
I'm pretty offended here.
Is that what you think of me?
Is it?
You attack Haesan right after Lee Hae Gon is gone.
That's too shady.
Well,
let's all calm down,
and do what he says this time.
I mean, who is Lee Hae Gon?
He's a cousin of the head of FSS.
And he got stabbed by gangsters who cover up for The Best.
So, we should show some reaction to it.
Why do you always take his side?
This wasn't even done by The Best.
Mr. Bae works for them anyway.
And lately,
they have been acting up too much relying on their money.
I think it's time...
to pull the leash,
and show them who's the boss.
But don't crush them completely.
I was not...
going to crush them completely.
But I guess...
it's time to warn them.
Why did Bae Dong Seok stab Lee Hae Gon?
Lee Hae Gon has a character.
So, maybe there was some trouble between them.
That's what I think.
How much does Hae Gon know about D1 plan?
I think he found out everything by the time he met Mr. Bae.
Well, then...
it's best for us...
that he doesn't wake up at all.
He didn't even show up in his neighborhood.
Don't worry about it.
He will show up here.
I'm getting hungry. Let's go get some food.
Let's go.
Let's go have some dinner.
Are you looking for this?
Jeong Bae, you bastard.
I told you...
that you'll screw yourself by trusting people too much.
I should get going.
His condition seems pretty serious.
I hope he gets better soon.
Mr. No Dae Ho.
This is Compliance Head Office.
- Transmitting data to... - It came to this office.
The head manager Im Chang Jae requested the data.
The head manager Im Chang Jae requested it.
Mr. Im, here are the documents that the Audit Office requested.
Were they requesting this many documents so far?
I thought they had so much time left that they became so nosy.
They were doing a pretty good job.
This is No Dae Ho.
You didn't send me the record of the meeting about reconstructing.
Can you send it to me again?
I'm sorry.
From now on, all the documents that go to the Audit Office...
go through the Compliance Head Office.
You should call the Compliance Head Office and ask.
Oh, really?
Okay, then.
This is No Dae Ho.
I need a record of the meeting about reconstructing.
I was told to call the Compliance Head Office.
I'm still reviewing it.
I'll let you know.
Sorry.
It's like they are not letting me do my job.
I told you it's best for an auditor...
to not do anything at all.
You tried so hard, and now they don't let you do anything.
It's back to being normal.
This is too much.
I know you smuggled the internal data out to Mr. Kim.
- What are you... - I turned a blind eye to it,
because I believed you might have some conscience left as bankers.
But then, what?
Back to being normal?
The vice-president has been stabbed and we don't know if he'll make it.
And here, you're just trying to save yourself?
Is that what you want?
You know, Bae Dong Seok, who stabbed Lee Hae Gon.
He's the key figure of D1 plan that we're investigating now.
You just spilled the data without even thinking.
And look what happened because of that.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
What did we do to make him so mad like that?
I'm reviewing the documents you sent me.
Do we have the budget required for replacing the system?
Okay.
I think it's important to analyze it from different angles.
I'll call you again in a minute.
You seem busy,
unlike somebody.
Yes, I'm busy.
So, just get to the point.
I thought you only moved employees in the Audit Office,
but you moved employees from the Inspection Team as well.
You remove all the people that help me,
and censor all the documents that go to the Audit Office.
Are you trying to isolate me?
You should stay low if you have noticed.
Well, thanks anyway.
I've got plenty of time thanks to you...
to dig out some things I really want to know.
(Episode 22 will air shortly.)
Oh, Haesan said that they want to change their main bank...
to Myeongseong Bank?
Well, that's up to you.
We can't stretch the rules for a certain company.
The debt ratio of Haesan's parent company is...
already over 400, which is quite risky.
So, we're being careful to say anything about it.
Risk management for each bank is...
up to each bank.
I have to go now.
Haesan is negotiating with other banks too,
but they got rejected from them all.
Of course.
They are an insolvent company rejected by its main bank.
What bank would trust them and give a loan?
At this rate,
they might go bankrupt.
With this amount of impact,
one of the top 20 companies in Korea...
shouldn't go bankrupt like that.
It's just that, since I drew a sword,
I should teach them a lesson.
How is Mr. No doing?
All the documents to the Audit Office are blocked.
All files go through reviewing from the Compliance Head Office,
before they are sent to the Audit Office.
However,
Mr. No said that now that he has plenty of time,
he is going to dig out some things he really wants to know.
Actually,
he suspects that you are the mastermind...
of the Lee Hae Gon incident and D1 plan.
Is that...
what you think as well?
Absolutely not.
All information is controlled for him.
What can he do...
as an auditor?
Oh,
how is it going...
with replacing the computing system?
I'm calculating the budget and expected time.
It's a big project.
So, we need several scenarios from different angles.
I want you to take extra care on this matter.
Okay.
Why did you have to choose a horror movie?
Now, I'll get randomly scared.
We got to spend three hours anyway.
This annual strike is even harder than I thought.
I don't know what to do to kill the time.
We can't just refuse to go to work.
We need to set a certain direction.
Did you get in contact with Mr. No yet?
No, he doesn't even answer my calls.
He didn't even know that he's being bullied.
He's bullying everyone else.
Who? Me?
- Mr. No. - Mr. No.
How did you know we are here?
Mr. Seo updated your location every 30 minutes.
It bothers me when I drive.
I'm glad you're here, Mr. No.
I missed you.
Yes, it was definitely a mistake...
to bring him to headquarters in Seoul.
Mr. No.
Should we grab something to eat and discuss?
Let's have something nice.
- Are you buying? - No, just ordering.
(Choose the store location.)
I'm number 35.
If the Compliance Head Office reviews all the documents...
that go to the Audit Office,
doesn't that mean that they are blocking information from us?
It does.
They share the censored data,
and block the accurate ones.
They already removed the employees from the Audit Office,
and now they are shutting your eyes and ears.
Then...
what should we do?
To be honest, since the Lee Hae Gon incident,
I think we have to be more careful.
As you know,
Bae Dong Seok was the chief of Seomin Policy Research Institute.
I don't know what he was up to,
but I don't think he did it by himself.
Do you think Lee Hae Gon got something on Bae Dong Seok?
We'll find out when Mr. Lee wakes up.
We have to find out...
who asked Mr. Bae to do that.
To be honest,
Mr. Kang seems suspicious too.
No way.
He's the head of Daehan Bank.
He wouldn't do that to his employee.
I hope I'm wrong.
That's why I want to find out who actually did it.
If we use up all our annual leaves,
we have to go to our new department.
We have to do our best to research...
on Bae Dong Seok and Seomin before that,
and put pressure on Mr. Kang to get the Audit Office back to normal.
Mr. Park.
Oh, yes.
Speaking of which,
there is no such thing as a perfect crime.
I was thinking we should make a little box...
so we can receive some reports from all the employees.
Are you talking about something like an anonymous letterbox?
Yes.
- Isn't it clever? - It takes too much time...
to make it with just the two of us.
Mr. Moon.
Make a really nice chatroom for them.
- Okay. - No, no.
We don't need a chatroom.
We just need a couple of boxes.
We should make a big issue out of it.
We should show them not to mess with Audiots.
Audiots?
Oh, you didn't know?
It means auditor and idiots.
All the employees call us Audiots.
Is it like Seo Taiji and Boys?
I feel proud for some reason.
(Loan Adjustment Form)
Haesan's loan maturity date is...
- today. - Is that so?
Yes.
I'm just going to strangle them...
until right before they die.
Can you wait for a second, please?
The president will find a way to fix it.
I'm sorry.
I was told to do it by the manual.
What is going on?
Are you really going to let us all die?
Haesan was previously known as a healthy company,
but they failed to pay a postdated note of five million dollars...
and went preliminary bankrupt.
Preliminary bankruptcy?
You couldn't even pay five million dollars and go bankrupt?
Do you know how much we lost in stock price?
Who would have thought that Daehan would reject to extend a loan term?
I knew it.
I knew it since you make 'The Best' thing.
I mean, the sanction from Fair Trade Commission too.
It all happened...
because you messed with those up high,
like Daehan Bank.
Do you think it's my fault?
If the company was healthy enough,
we wouldn't have this problem at all.
What?
You know pretty well...
how Haesan became like this.
Do you know how much money my brother wasted?
You bastard!
I'll take care of this one.
Don't worry about it.
What the...
Oh, Haesan called?
I guess they are pretty urgent.
The president of Haesan called to apologize.
Tell him I'll call him back later.
Okay.
(Big Thanks From Mr. No)
What is that?
That's Mr. No.
I know it's Mr. No,
but what is he doing there?
- Big thanks from Mr. No. - Big thanks from Mr. No.
Big thanks from Mr. No.
We receive any report about the corruption of Daehan Bank.
Big thanks from Mr. No.
We made an anonymous report chatroom.
Come visit our chatroom.
We made an anonymous report chatroom.
- Thank you. - Report anything you...
Big thanks from Mr. No.
- Big thanks from Mr. No. - Big thanks from Mr. No.
(Big thanks from Mr. No)
Big thanks from Mr. No?
No thanks.
What? Big thanks from Mr. No?
Funny, right?
You know the incident...
that Lee Hae Gon got stabbed,
- is it related to this one? - He got stabbed by a gangster.
Why would a gangster stab him for no reason?
(Big thanks from Mr. No)
Any report about any company related to Seomin,
or about corruption in Daehan Bank.
Thank you for all your reports from Mr. No.
He is advertising...
like Daehan Bank is...
some kind of a corrupted bank.
(Daehan Bank's Auditor No Dae Ho's anonymous report campaign)
It went viral...
among people online.
It's either an outbreak by a peculiar auditor,
or justice done by a righteous auditor.
We gathered all the placards and posters,
and discarded them all.
What do we do...
about Mr. No?
Well,
I'll go talk to him first.
We put up placards and posters all night,
and now my body hurts so bad.
Good job, everyone.
Just relax today,
and let's think about our next move.
Do we have any reports yet?
Oh, there is one.
(Kill yourselves, troublemakers.)
It says, "Kill yourselves, audiots."
It's better than nothing.
We have another one.
"Mr. Kim Yo Han is having an affair..."
"with Jung Da Jung."
"Audit them."
We told them we'd audit anything,
and they're throwing issues way too randomly.
Let's be thankful for their attention...
and audit it.
(Han Soo Ji)
Didn't I ask you to behave for a while?
Things are already uneasy with what happened to Vice-president Lee.
Did you have to make things worse by doing this kind of stuff?
I told you.
You've stopped me from doing my work,
so I have time to kill,
and I'll use it to look into D1 Plan and who's behind Bae Dong Seok.
This is my final warning as a friend.
If you go farther,
I won't be able to protect you anymore.
Please take the safe route.
You know how my father-in-law...
passed away.
When I became an auditor...
after working as a manager of small branches,
I was happy to have the power...
to change and protect the bank.
But look at the reality.
Ms. Jin lost her father because of the bank.
Vice-president Lee fell into a critical condition...
while investigating on the corruption.
The executives are blinded by power...
and they're busy covering up the corruption.
Don't you see how dangerous it is...
to wield the power...
without realizing its responsibility?
As a friend,
let me ask you one last time.
Use your authority...
properly.
Let go of President Kang's hands.
Tell me what you really know...
about D1 Plan.
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
Then I can't stop anymore either.
Let's see...
the end of it.
Even if that will...
bring the bank down?
If it's to go down that easily,
just let it go down.
Auditor No...
told you that?
What will you do?
I guess we've come to the limit.
We should deal with it before it explodes.
I'll take care of him,
so you should...
focus on your work.
Whatever you work on,
make it worth...
the employees' respect.
Yes, sir.
Are you aware of...
- Haesan's first insolvency? - Yes.
I've heard they pulled through it.
Actually not.
They managed to deal with their first insolvency,
but they could go down any minute.
The debt ratio of Haesan's head office...
has reached beyond 400 already.
In short,
they're keeping their title with other people's money.
So we, Daehan Bank,
will organize a team of creditors...
and collect the loan.
Auditor No,
why don't you take the leadership...
of this team as a representative...
of Daehan Bank?
I'm afraid I'm not qualified to represent the bank.
I'm already having a hard time keeping my team as is.
I let the Compliance Head Office...
to take part of your duties...
because I wanted to appoint you...
as the representative of creditors.
What?
Stop making jokes in your slow Audit Team.
Come out to the big league.
As the representative of creditors,
save Haesan and show your management ability.
Then I will...
support you...
as the next president.
Are you telling me...
to resign from the auditor position?
I can't do that.
I will stay on for the rest of my term...
and look into Bae Dong Seok and the Seomin companies...
until the end.
Please excuse me.
What will you do?
How did the talk go?
How did you want the talk to go?
Did you agree on becoming the representative of creditors?
Even if I took the job,
it wouldn't benefit you.
What are you talking about?
In return for quitting my job over the representative,
do you know what he offered?
The next bank presidency.
In return for dismantling me and my team,
what did he offer you?
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E22 'The Banker' "Be the Representative of Creditors" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Since I became an executive of Daehan Bank,
I went through two financial crises, the IMF crisis and the Lehman crash.
But I managed to protect the bank.
When countless banks and companies went bankrupt in the IMF crisis,
I did a merger among small and medium-sized banks...
to revive Daehan Bank.
The Lehman crash happened when I first became president.
At that time,
I did whatever means necessary...
to save Daehan Bank.
Do you know...
what I realized then?
A powerful bank...
never goes down.
That is why I came up with...
D1 Plan.
Daehan Bank's One Building Plan.
Its goal was to gather the scattered head offices...
to create a core.
And to make it a home base of the financial hub...
which can reach out to the world.
I needed a lot of help.
Because...
we didn't have power back then.
To people who don't know,
D1 Plan might look like evidence of corruption,
but to me,
it was a certified check...
that would protect the bank,
its employees,
and their families.
In return for quitting my job over the representative,
do you know what he offered?
The next bank presidency.
In return for dismantling me and my team,
what did he offer you?
What is his true intention?
Am I...
also a consumable like Mr. Yook?
You should've told me you were coming.
I wanted to surprise you.
Wait, hey.
Isn't it a weekday?
You guys...
should be working in Seoul right now.
What brought you here in Gongju?
Did you get fired?
What are you talking about?
We worked so hard...
that we got a special holiday as a reward.
- Right? - Right.
Right, we really worked hard.
There's no need to work too hard, Bo Geol.
You've got your mom...
running this galbi restaurant.
You can always come back and help me out with the business...
when things go wrong.
Don't force yourself to do something you don't want to.
How reassuring.
You must be happy, Mr. Seo.
Kind of.
Enjoy, Mi Ho.
Hey.
Who is she? Your girlfriend?
Not yet.
Do you want me...
to help you out?
What are you talking about?
Just stay still.
- Why? - Please.
Don't do it.
Well...
Let me tell you about Bo Geol.
He's the heir to this restaurant...
with annual sales of three million dollars.
He got into Youngse University...
with the second best score.
What was that?
In Manhattan...
You were number one of Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, right?
My gosh.
You're quick-witted for your age.
Miss.
What do your parents do?
How old are you?
Mom.
You're making her feel uncomfortable.
My goodness.
She's your woman, is that right?
Well?
What do you mean, my woman?
Eat up, Mi Ho.
- I need to take this call. - Sure.
Go on.
Hello, Secretary Kim.
Where are you?
Well...
I'm out, having dinner with Mr. Seo and Ms. Jang of Audit Team.
Was it your idea to make an anonymous group chat on Seomin?
No.
It was Auditor No's idea.
You should've reported it to me beforehand.
It's like you stabbed me in the back.
I apologize.
You didn't give me any special instructions,
so I thought I needed to do the usual.
Yes.
Secretary Kim.
What brings you here?
Things are urgent, so let me go straight to the point.
The information you found about the closed branches.
Delete it all.
I don't understand.
Have you forgotten...
who got you through university...
and into Daehan Bank?
The information cannot be revealed...
for President Kang and Daehan Bank.
That's why I'm asking you in person.
Mi Ho is the most beautiful woman,
and the reason why she can be my woman is...
What?
What did you just say?
- I mean... - Your woman?
I'm just giving an example.
Let's say she's my woman.
Because I, Seo Bo Geol,
is the best in Daehan Bank.
Are you here to visit Vice-president Lee?
His wife went to talk with the doctor for a while.
Are you...
Auditor No Dae Ho?
That's me.
Once he gathered evidence of President Kang's corruption,
we'd end up working with you.
Vice-president Lee used to say that all the time.
Did he?
When he went to meet Bae Dong Seok,
you were with him.
Right.
But I couldn't stop this unfortunate accident from happening.
Goodness.
The one who told him to meet Bae Dong Seok...
was me.
Maybe it's my fault that he got stabbed.
Let's hope he recovers soon.
Vice-president Lee was looking into D1 Plan, and when he collapsed,
Haesan went into first insolvency.
And from what I know, Haesan...
was the construction company...
in charge of the D1 development plan.
And Bae Dong Seok...
the henchman for a group...
consisting of Haesan's Jo Hyun Gwon...
and a few other third-generation rich kids...
called The Best.
I thought President Kang was behind Bae Dong Seok.
But he was involved in Haesan's bankruptcy too?
I'm confused now.
He's still unconscious.
Are you that surprised...
to see me here?
People...
seem to think...
I'd be happy to have him unconscious.
But actually,
I'm the one who cherished...
the most.
I was the first one to scout him...
back when he was doing successfully in the States.
But what I wanted the most...
was for him to abandon his elitist attitude...
and become...
a true leader.
Seeing him injured and unconscious in bed,
I want to...
rip that person into pieces,
whoever the culprit is.
While we're at it,
let me just be honest with you.
Do you know why...
I want to send you...
as the representative of creditors?
Haesan...
is the leading company...
of D1 Plan...
along with Mr. Yook.
It seems like...
they found out Lee Hae Gon was digging into D1 Plan...
and raided him from behind, but you know who Lee Hae Gon is.
He's Daehan Bank's vice president. It means they stabbed our bank.
I'm sending the creditors to Haesan...
as a warning...
that I'll take revenge...
as the head of Daehan Bank.
I want you to go there...
as the representative of creditors,
replace its corrupt executives,
and normalize...
their business management as soon as possible.
After then,
collect the loan...
from the company.
I believe...
someone upright like you...
can pull it off.
I told you already.
I cannot quit my auditor position.
Auditor, auditor, auditor.
Let me ask you one thing then.
If Haesan ends up getting bankrupt,
will you not care?
- What do you mean? - Is your position yours?
No, it's the bank's.
The presidency isn't mine either. It's the bank's.
You and I must think only about...
what benefits the bank!
Go to Haesan as the representative of creditors...
and normalize its business management.
Or the rotten Haesan will go down inevitably.
Have you thought about...
the pain which its employees...
and their families would go through?
Would you still choose to stay as the auditor?
Would you still choose it?
Think over it...
and give me your answer by tomorrow.
Will you go save Haesan?
Or will you watch it go down?
I'll have to look for someone else in the latter case.
Have you made a decision?
Yes.
I'll choose to be...
the representative of creditors.
(The Banker)
I have a condition.
I'll check if the company has any hope first.
Work on it below the surface.
It's only been hours since Auditor No went to Haesan.
Can you check the registrations for the D1 Plan's district?
Are you saying it has something to do with D1 Plan?
Not only us Haesan,
but also Auditor No.
I'm sure he's trying to get rid of us all.
Stop playing auditor,
and work for me.
