I'll take the representative role for creditors...
of Haesan Construction.
(President Kang Sam Do)
I'm glad you made that choice.
I'll reach out...
to the creditors for a meeting.
I have a condition.
A condition?
Before starting my role, I'd like to go through an actual inspection.
Haesan Construction and Daehan Bank has a voluntary agreement,
so I believe we have the right to have an inspection.
Is there a reason why you want to do that?
If it's a company I can't save,
there's no need for me to step down from my auditor position.
I'll check if that company has any hope first.
In addition,
if we hastily summon the creditors,
they'll think Haesan Construction is in default on the loan.
And that could form another group to collect their funds.
You have a point.
I understand.
You can take the position after you finish...
the inspection.
Also,
please return all my staff back to the department.
It's impossible to inspect a company by myself.
All right. I'll have Ms. Han...
make the changes.
However, Mr. Noh.
I'll give you two weeks to carry on the inspection.
I need you to finish it before the time is up.
Reviving a company is all about timing.
Yes, sir.
I'll contact the other banks who will join as creditors.
I'll let Haesan Construction know...
about the inspection as well.
It hasn't been long since we left, but it feels awkward, doesn't it?
I know, right?
I missed your touch.
Anyways, it's nice to be back together.
Hello, sir!
I'm going to kill you if you do that again.
Why do you think the bank sent us elsewhere,
then brought us back to the Audit Office?
I'm not sure.
- Hello, sir. - I said, "I'm going to kill you."
Who are you planning on killing, Mr. Seo?
Oh, sir! You're here.
Have you all been doing well?
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
I'll be straightforward and cut it short.
We have to go on an inspection to Haesan Construction.
Haesan Construction? Why would we do that?
I'll explain on the way.
(Haesan Group Head Office)
Wow, it's huge!
It's because all the subsidiaries use the same office building.
You don't see buildings like these in Gongju, do you?
Don't provoke me.
It's pretty much the same in Gongju too.
Shall we head inside?
Hello, sir.
- You're Auditor Noh of Daehan Bank? - Yes, I am.
I'm the General Affairs Department General Manager, Na Dae Oh.
Nice to meet you.
- We share the same name, don't we? - Sorry?
Oh, no. I'm Na Dae Oh and you are Noh Dae Ho, sir.
Dae Oh and Dae Ho.
I see.
I shouldn't have been such a know-it-all.
We already share something special. I look forward to working with you.
We're looking forward to it too.
Please place your belongings here to get through security.
They have such tight security!
They take it even seriously than the banks.
We're keeping a tight security,
due to all the head offices being based here.
I hope you understand.
Your temporary office...
will be on the fifth floor.
The inspectors from Daehan Bank are here, sir.
Do you realize what we're going through,
because to your immature behavior?
- Everything will be all right, sir. - "All right"?
I already told you before.
Don't you know how much the market capitalization has dropped?
Isn't that how the stock market...
- always works? - Shut it!
Never mind the stock market,
what are you going to do if another problem comes up?
Do you think you'd be able to handle it?
What "another problem"?
Are you talking about Haesan Chemical?
Why would I have to handle that?
Shouldn't you and your oldest son figure it out for yourselves...
as the owners, Father?
What did you just say?
How dare you speak to me like that!
Father!
Did you think I wouldn't notice...
you favoring him over me?
You're telling me to learn business management from him?
Have you already forgotten how many companies...
he's closed down?
On the other hand,
I was able to expand Haesan Construction this much,
when it had always been neglected.
What? If it weren't for the group's support,
you wouldn't even be here.
If this doesn't pass quietly,
you won't be able to maintain your position.
- Father! - Call me "Sir" at work!
All right, sir.
Do as you'd like.
Haesan Construction isn't a company...
you can easily mess with.
Not any more, sir.
What did you just say?
Why, you!
Feel free to let me know if you ever need anything.
The president has instructed us...
to actively assist in anything you may need.
All right.
In order to save time, I'm sure you've been told that...
we've already requested for financial documents beforehand.
Yes, sir. They are almost done. I'll bring them in soon.
- Please do hurry, Mr. Na. - Yes, sir.
One other thing...
I heard you also requested documents...
from our subsidiaries,
but they are demanding for...
the reason.
Oh, yes.
When the group's asset exceeds five billion dollars,
cross payment guarantee is forbidden.
However, Haesan has stood surety for its subsidiaries,
even when they are exceeding 20 billion dollars.
In this case, if something happens to Haesan,
it will cause a huge impact on the subsidiaries as well.
However, it will be pointless to go through an inspection...
without any of the financial data.
I see. All right, sir.
I will try to get them as soon as possible.
Thank you.
I'll get going, then.
(Conference Room 1)
Did you hear that? Please get the documents ready.
- He seems to be a nice person. - Is he...
Data from the subsidiaries?
Data, my foot.
We're working on holding off...
the subsidiaries' data, sir.
What are you talking about?
Give the inspectors all the data...
they request for.
Don't give them any reason to find fault with us.
We won't be able to get out of it if they bring in the creditors.
We have to stop them at this point.
I apologize, sir.
We will do so, immediately.
If anything significant comes up, let me know right away.
Yes, sir.
We've got someone to keep an eye on them.
You said Noh Dae Ho, who was sent by Kang Sam Do,
isn't on good terms with the administration.
Are you sure of it?
As far as we know, that is correct, sir.
Why would he send someone he doesn't trust?
This must be a trap of his to tame Haesan...
What?
Are you saying that this is all a fib?
I apologize, sir.
If...
he has any intentions of...
trying to pull our group apart,
then that Auditor...
must be like a dummy.
Monitor the cash flow...
of the Financial Department at all times...
and let me know immediately if anything odd comes up.
Are you talking about only Daehan Bank, sir?
Check all financial institutes we do transactions with.
Yes, sir.
What are you up to, Kang Sam Do?
China?
Are you sure, sir?
Yes. Go on and proceed...
where it's quiet.
But it hasn't even been a few hours since Auditor Noh left.
In order to make the best judgements...
there's nothing we can do, but to prepare beforehand.
I was hoping Auditor Noh would just leave.
What about when you said you thought of him as the next president?
I'd say anything to bring Haesan...
back to order.
Did you really...
believe...
what I'd said?
No, sir.
I just thought...
it was a bit unconventional.
Unconventional, it was.
I really don't think Auditor Noh has what it takes...
to be a business manager.
Does that mean you're going to compose the group of creditors...
regardless of the inspection?
That's right. I'm going to induce a restructuring process.
If I highlight the fact that their depth ratio is high compared to...
other companies, it will be justified.
I've looked into it,
and their main businesses are those that...
Chinese companies will be interested in.
If I can bring them to sell the company,
we'll be able to collect back...
most of the loans,
without allowance for bad debt.
But the recent bankruptcy was deliberate...
Also, they wouldn't allow...
the same mistake again.
Myungsung Bank will be backing them...
this time.
Chairman Cho of Haesan...
drove the performances of their main companies...
to the ground while forcing the succession...
of management rights.
It's for the best for everyone...
to pull the brakes...
before it's too late.
- What about Auditor Noh? - The moment...
he declares that he can save Haesan,
he will no longer have anything to do with Daehan Bank.
He has to resign as auditor,
in order to take part as creditor.
Keep that in mind, Vice President Han.
The moment he declares that he can save Haesan.
That will be his last day...
at work.
An occasion might arise in which someone must go into the field.
Which of us do you think...
Not again.
- Yes, you, Bo Geol. - Mr. Noh.
He can be a little clumsy.
So Ms. Jang, help him out.
I go with him?
Okay.
If it's with Ms. Jang, then!
Rather than sending Ms. Jang out into the field,
wouldn't it be better if I go with Mr. Seo?
Hey, shut up.
I need you to help me check something.
I understand.
Those are your roles.
Okay.
We don't have any files yet. Why don't we have lunch first?
That's a good idea.
It really is almost lunchtime.
Shall we go?
Hello. You must have lunch.
We were just about to head to the cafeteria.
Come with us.
You have a great cafeteria.
We do.
All of Haesan's subsidiary's workers...
come here to eat.
Haesan Food Systems.
That subsidiary runs this cafeteria.
I see.
Mr. Na, have you worked here...
at Haesan for a long time?
Yes. This is my 30th year here.
You started working here even before I was born?
Is that so?
Back then, we didn't have a cafeteria like this.
We worked at an outdoor storage yard without boots...
and every now and then we'd step on a nail.
That made us worry about getting tetanus.
Did you work for General Affairs then too?
No. At the time there was a team called Sales Services.
Oh... That team.
It was the first team I was assigned to.
"Sales Services"? There's such a team?
Yes.
We were in charge of shipping...
Haesan's products all over the country and the world.
We'd have containers brought over...
and load them up all night.
You had laborers load the containers, right?
No.
We loaded them ourselves.
Once, the day before the Chuseok holiday,
we had 20 40ft containers...
lined up outside the building.
They couldn't all fit in,
so we had to line them up at the side of the road.
You loaded all of those?
When did you go home?
The staff and I worked for days...
so we wouldn't miss the ship.
When we were finally done,
it was the last day of the holiday.
Oh, dear. Did you not get to go home?
No, I went home.
On that very last day.
Still, if you worked that hard, you must've gotten a huge bonus.
I didn't get a bonus,
but I worked hard and the company got this big.
And I still, for the 30th year, am on the payroll.
I raised and educated all my kids.
Could there be an even bigger bonus?
Young people these days can barely find work.
I feel bad when I see them.
Old people like me should quit and make room for them.
Don't you say that.
You're actually a living witness of Haesan's history.
You're amazing.
No. I'm not, to be honest.
- Pardon? - I'm sorry...
to have to say this to you,
but I don't like having a banker tell me I'm amazing.
What do you mean by that?
I know very well that Haesan is struggling.
But...
thousands of us employees...
made Haesan what it is today, by working for a few years...
to a few decades.
To be honest,
I think it's wrong for a few bankers to look around...
like you're touring a market...
and decide to save us or not.
I don't want to believe it, but...
Some people say...
you came here to decide which subsidiary...
will sell for a profit.
Mr. Na, you're mistaken.
Either way,
you have to do what your bank tells you to.
In an organization, you do what your superior says.
I know that well.
That may be true,
but I'd like you not to think so negatively.
Really?
I talked nonsense when you should be eating.
I don't have much of an appetite. Please excuse me.
But we...
He was eating just fine. What got into him?
Does he think we're here to take over?
I know.
I guess he's disappointed that a bank is here...
for an inspection.
He worked here for 30 years, so he must feel very attached.
A lot rides on our shoulders.
Let's not think too lightly of Mr. Na's comment.
What is it?
What?
Daehan Bank wants our accounting documents?
Yes, but not just ours.
They want every subsidiary's.
Before you hand over Haesan Construction's documents...
to those banking fools,
bring them to me first for confirmation, okay?
Yes, sir.
Young Kyung.
Is something wrong?
They'd better leave Haesan Construction alone.
Or I will fight back.
I plan to induce a restructuring.
I noticed that Haesan's main fields of business are...
things that Chinese companies would be interested in.
There are quite a few.
Vice President Han, your call to China is connected.
Hui Lin, it's been a long time.
We last met in Shanghai three years ago already.
How are you?
Su Ji, I heard you made vice president already.
It's late, but congratulations.
Thanks.
Can you do me a favor?
Sure. What is it?
Can you find me some private equity funds...
that are interested in buying a Korean company?
Private equity funds?
There's a Korean company for sale? What does it do?
Mostly machines, manufacturing,
heavy chemicals, things like that.
How big is it?
Telling you that would expose the company.
I'm sorry, but I can't give you that detail.
Because of the US trade barrier,
they're very interested in Korean companies.
It's a roundabout way to export.
Then it won't be that hard to find a buyer?
Wouldn't that depend on how much commission...
you're willing to pay me?
No problem. I'll email you the commission contract.
Take a look and get back to me.
Sure thing, Su Ji. See you in Seoul soon.
Okay, let's meet up. Thank you.
[VIU Ver] MBC E23 'The Banker' "Auditor Noh Goes to Haesan Group" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Does he have to do this?
(Haesan Construction)
This is it.
I did the hard work and you show off.
Haesan Construction was the last to hand in their documents.
Can I have your attention?
We'll start the inspection...
with Haesan Construction.
You'll start with a subsidiary and not the mother company?
Yes, we're starting with Haesan Construction.
Mr. Moon and I will look into...
their sales and the resulting cash flow...
and expenditure, like taxes.
Mr. Seo and Ms. Jang, check their assets.
Especially the change...
in fixed assets over the last few years.
- Okay. - Okay.
You two can go out into the field tomorrow...
and compare the ledgers and actual properties.
Please confirm on it if they actually correspond.
I noticed that...
all of the subsidiaries' head offices are in this building,
but not Haesan Construction.
I asked for Mr. Park's help on this.
He'll drive you...
They'll check Haesan Construction first?
It's us that gave Daehan Bank reason to do the inspection.
Yes, sir.
But he'll look into Haesan Construction first?
Is that their real target?
Yes. I would believe so.
I should send Young Kyung...
to Sam Do and make him beg.
Would he do that?
If we get Young Kyung to put out the fire,
this could blow over.
Don't we have a line to someone in...
Noh Dae Ho's office?
Yes, sir.
Leave some room for leeway.
Aren't you pushing them too hard?
They broke the rule first.
Even street fights have rules.
So what will you do? Will you run them over?
Will you get rid of them all?
You don't have to go too far.
The election's just a year away, you know.
Assemblyman Jung.
Hae Gon is...
a Daehan Bank vice president.
Do you know what happens...
if we let those kids ignore the rules?
Next time,
you could get stabbed.
Don't complain.
Do you have to say something like that?
You don't have evidence, do you?
He was there to meet Bae Dong Seok who had done all the dirty work.
Auditor Noh was with him.
We must deal with Haesan first...
if we're to keep all the kids in line.
- I think... - Stay out of it.
I don't need...
your opinion for the next while.
Then...
do you plan on taking this to the extreme?
If there's no end, then there won't be a new start.
Haesan Construction's reckless management...
led them to grow an uncontrollable debt ratio.
The group will end up splitting apart at the end.
Few domestic companies will take over parts of it,
while the rest will be sold off abroad.
If a company fails to do even this,
they'll have to balance their accounts...
and disappear like dust.
They'll be remembered as an unfortunate company.
You came all the way here,
so you might as well look around our subsidiary companies.
We don't have a lot of time,
so we'll look around next time.
This should be part of your inspection too.
What would bankers know about the manufacturing business?
If you think just looking around is that difficult,
how will you execute a proper inspection?
Don't you agree, Mr. Noh?
You have a point, but...
Come on, come on.
Check why Noh Dae Ho...
came here.
They came for an inspection, of course.
Well, that's the excuse they have.
I need you to check why Noh came here himself.
Even if there is an ulterior motive,
would they tell me that easily?
Also, he was in that office all day long.
I could hardly strike up a conversation other than at lunch.
You can drag him out of that office.
Pardon?
This is one of the departments that's part of our core business.
It's our industrial plant business.
They take up about 10 percent of our total sales.
I see. Everyone seems to be working diligently.
Yes. We don't have the time to worry about...
the inspection and the creditors at the moment.
Our employees only focus on working hard at their jobs.
- Did you prepare everything? - Yes.
Sales projections and profits were reviewed and confirmed.
We'll fix the details once the agreement is signed.
Good work.
- What is it, sir? - Where's the agreement?
It's at the back.
Good.
Thank you.
Yes, Mr. Seo.
Mr. Noh, we're back.
Their regional head office is a lot smaller than we thought.
They have a separate business office which is quite big.
All of the real assets are stored there.
Yes.
That's why we plan on going there now.
Yes, sir.
Do you want a drink?
No, we better leave right away.
Mr. Park seems to go to the washroom a lot.
What's taking him so long? Wasn't it just a leak?
There he is.
(City Rest Stop)
Sorry for the wait.
Where are we going next?
Let's head here for now.
- Right here. - Okay.
You're very busy, Mr. Noh.
I'm not as busy as this office.
By the way, it looks like they secured a big order.
Yes. It looks like things are going well.
- Nothing's missing, right? - No, sir.
- You should come with me. - Me?
Yes, you're the one who worked on this.
I don't want to get stuck if the higher-ups ask me a question.
Okay, sir.
I'm glad I came...
to see the offices per your suggestion.
They say the company isn't doing as well as before,
but I got to watch the office employees...
giving their best with my own eyes.
Right?
(Junior Managing Director)
It's been so long since we got a new order.
On top of that, it's a turnkey.
I didn't know you had it in you, Mr. Jung.
All I did was follow your orders, ma'am.
Hello, Senior Director.
This is Auditor Noh Dae Ho...
who came for an inspection from Daehan Bank.
I hope you'll treat us well.
Do you see this?
Our employees are working so hard.
Yes. You're right.
What is the total amount for this order?
It's 175 million dollars.
It's 175 million dollars. 175 million dollars.
And this is just one order.
Please excuse me. I'm busy.
I'll report this up by myself.
You don't need to accompany me.
The president is on the phone right now. Could you please wait?
Once the call is over, let the president know I came.
I will, Vice President.
Should I go in with you?
Why? I should go in by myself.
Yes, sir.
You can go in now, sir.
(President's Office)
- Just forget it. - What?
I worked half a year on this. What do you mean we'll cancel?
You should tell me a reason I can accept.
If they tell us to stop, we stop.
This isn't anything new.
Also, why are you yelling at me?
The higher-ups are ordering us to break the agreement.
What? Are you kidding me?
Watch it. Is this the kind of attitude...
you should have in front of your boss?
Sir.
The president thinks the market is too unstable.
If we go into a deficit,
the president has to be responsible.
We both know very well...
why they operate the company so unreasonably.
I'm just so sick of it!
Hey, hey. Keep it down.
Do you want to get fired?
Our company's a mess,
and that's why the bank came for an inspection.
Despite that, they're still turning away...
such a good turnkey order!
You're not yourself today.
You should go to a sauna or something...
and get some sleep before you go home.
Go. Hurry up and go!
(Episode 24 will air shortly.)
How did it go?
(Episode 24)
We made a deal with a private equity fund...
to take over right away, as soon as something comes up...
on the market.
All we have to do...
is to choose between selling it off as a whole, or to separately sell...
each major businesses depending on what's better for us.
What about the labor union?
As for the union,
I'm leaning towards the side that keeps on making conflicts.
Although they do the same job,
the full-time employees get paid twice as much...
as the contract workers.
If we just leak the welfare benefits...
and pay slips on purpose when the right time comes,
the workers will automatically become hostile against each other.
I believe this in turn...
will make people forget about the issue...
around selling the company.
I see.
Anything else?
If it's sold to a foreign company,
there will be issues surrounding leaking our technology.
Even if it's just for formalities,
we'll allow domestic companies to participate in the bid.
Good work.
All we have to do...
is wait for Mr. Noh.
Is something wrong?
What? No, no, no.
It's nothing.
You know these documents from Haesan Construction...
don't make sense.
I think they omitted something on purpose.
On purpose?
Mr. Moon, can you...
check all the registrations of the D1 District?
I need to find out who the real landowners are.
Are you saying Haesan Construction...
is related to the D1 Plan?
- Is that why... - Yes.
I think there are many subsidiary companies...
under Haesan Construction, that are not conspicuous.
When I compare them to other construction companies...
of the same size, they're really different.
On top of that, a lot of their deals were settled in cash.
That's because...
they pay their construction workers...
with cash right at the site.
That's what it looks like on the surface,
but most constructions were done by subcontractors.
With this much cash transaction,
it must have been difficult even at the main counter.
I heard this weird rumor.
Haesan could be disintegrated,
after its first bankruptcy.
And it's only a matter of time before it collapses.
Who said that?
From foreign office funds.
There are words that a company devoted to machines, plants,
and heavy chemical industry will be on the market.
Isn't that Haesan?
They want to take us down just for their desire for power?
Not a chance.
We pay salary for thousands of regular workers,
and that many temporary workers.
Do you think people would let such businesses go down like that...
when the economy is this bad?
I'm just worried.
The honorary trust at Haesan will be fine, right?
Stop being so weak.
Why do you think we gave them that much money?
We pay them, so we own it.
Those being paid, are not the owners.
Plus, is that accident with cash delivery our fault?
It was that auditor, Noh Dae Ho,
and that old President Kang.
They did it to themselves due to their power struggle.
I'm worried you might get hurt.
No.
I'm not getting hurt.
I have insurance.
Insurance?
Watch it! I'm a busy man.
I'm really sorry.
Are you okay?
Let me help you.
I'm sorry. I'll clean it up.
You don't have to do this.
I'm sorry.
- Auditor Noh! - Yes?
I found a suspicious company from Haesan group.
A suspicious company?
Their assets increased severalfold in a day,
so I checked if I was wrong, but I was right.
That doesn't make sense. You must have made a mistake.
No, check this out.
(Haesan Chemical)
"Haesan Chemical"?
(Financial statements)
(All-inclusive income statements)
It seems like they changed their accounting standards...
to switch their assessment from book value to market value.
Weird, isn't it?
Are they planning to pursue mergers and acquisitions...
with the increased assets of their company?
What do you mean?
The major shareholder of Haesan Chemical...
is the eldest son of Haesan group.
If they merge this expanded company with the parent company,
it will be favorable...
for Haesan Chemical, considering their ratio of merger.
So it's some type of plan for succession.
I heard this story by chance,
but I heard they're not approving all the huge contracts...
their employees have won.
They must be manipulating the performance of their employees.
The employees' performance need to be scaled down...
so it'll be easier for Haesan Chemical to win.
Is that true?
They're walking on a tightrope.
I'm worried they might make a mess and risk their own employees...
just for the owner's succession.
Hello.
I wanted to thank you for this morning.
This isn't much, but here.
Yes, thank you very much.
- Have a good day. - You too.
Who was that?
She's one of the employees that make...
a company like Haesan maintain its business.
What?
I think Haesan was able to maintain itself until now...
because of people like her, who have a sense of ownership,
worked at Haesan.
Including Mr. Na who guides us.
But he bluntly hates bankers.
That's because he cares so much about his company.
He's worried we might harm Haesan.
That itself shows his devotion for his company.
One day,
he'll realize that we're here to save his company.
How can I help you?
I'm from Daehan Bank.
Daehan Bank?
I don't recall being noticed.
Wait here. I'll go and check.
This is the last place of inspection for Haesan Construction, right?
I suppose so.
I don't expect them to be in the same building.
But why do they have to be scattered all around?
It's a construction company. They should have a reason.
Come on.
(Haesan Construction)
What did you want to check?
The facilities and resources recorded in the account book.
Resources?
What kind of a construction company stores the resources themselves?
Is that so? That's weird.
But it says here that a lot of resources are counted as assets.
Hold on.
- Boss, Daehan Bank... - This must be it.
is here to check our construction resources.
They say it's from the account book.
What's going on?
They're here to inspect.
Who are you?
- I'm the manager here. - I see.
Will you bring down these boxes...
with your forklift?
With the forklift?
What is this?
We can open them, right?
Wait... We...
Thank you.
Let's check the inside.
Hey, wait.
Why would you go inside?
- Excuse me. - Sir?
(Construction Profit, Other Profit)
Is something wrong?
Their taxes, like the corporate taxes and such,
don't match to their business profits.
Comparing with other construction companies,
they have non-business lands.
There's usually a ton of taxes involved in such cases.
I substituted the values...
from this document to Haesan Construction and...
And?
I think it matches to...
the taxes of the lands in D1 District...
owned by unidentified companies.
That means all the unidentified lands are...
It means they're related to Haesan Construction somehow.
Young Kyung has been doing that?
It's not a verified story, though.
I was wondering...
how we're related to Daehan Bank for them to be doing this.
I think I'm getting a sense of it.
And Auditor Noh is also...
paying attention to Haesan Chemical.
What?
My eldest and second sons are all at stake?
Are you sure about Noh Dae Ho and Kang Sam Do...
being arch enemies?
Yes, I'm certain.
Call in the COOs.
And get me a dinner reservation with Noh Dae Ho.
I thought he was no one, but I was wrong.
Come to think of it, Kang Sam Do sent...
Noh Dae Ho to get rid of him along with our group.
Who are you?
Our president would like to see you.
Your president?
Yes. Do you have a previous engagement?
Not really.
But don't you think it would look bad...
to meet him at a time like this?
It's nothing more than a dinner.
He only wishes to dine with you.
I'll take that as a yes, and get going.
- Will it be fine? - I don't know.
Why don't you go home, Mr. Moon?
No, I'll be here for a while.
Sure.
And tell Mr. Seo to go home when he's finished.
He doesn't need to come to the office.
Yes.
Do not say a word,
and come meet me at the emergency staircase.
From, Na Dae Oh.
[VIU Ver] MBC E24 'The Banker' "Haesan Group's Corruption" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(The Four, power yet hidden to the world.)
(There's a huge power that the world doesn't yet know about.)
(I will call them The Four.)
(C. J. K. P.)
(I will reveal their secrets soon.)
Hang on.
What's this?
(Fun Fun News)
(The Four, power yet hidden to the world.)
"The Four"?
They're skimming too much.
How is an empty box inventory?
They're all dead.
I'll tell Mr. Noh as soon as we get back.
Mr. Moon just texted me.
We can go straight home.
What?
How come he lets us go on a day like this?
That's great. I have to go somewhere too.
Shall we part ways here?
You two had a long day.
What's up with you too, Mr. Park?
We should have a drink on a day like this.
You want to drink with someone who's driving?
I have plans too.
What is it with everyone?
Something's up.
I can tell.
Mr. Park acted weird all day today.
What is this place?
Nice to meet you, Chairman Cho.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Noh.
I have run businesses all my life,
so I've never worked for anyone else.
For that reason, I'm very direct.
I'm never considerate enough.
And in my whole life,
I have never bowed to anyone else.
Oh, dear.
Welcome. How can I help you?
Hello.
I'm having trouble urinating.
I heard you have something.
You came to the right place.
Take a look at this.
Be strong. Take courage!
My gut instinct never fails me.
Mr. Park. What is this?
President Kang, take a look at this.
It just surfaced on the tabloid column.
"The Four, power yet hidden to the world".
"There's a huge power that the world doesn't yet know about."
"I will call them The Four."
"C. J."
"K. P."
What shall I do?
A tabloid...
is covered up with another tabloid.
I understand, sir.
Identify the source quickly and accurately,
and arrange for a meeting.
Stop playing auditor...
and come to me.
Pardon?
What did you just say?
Come to me.
I will give you 10 times...
your current salary.
(Haesan Group)
They aren't filled with cash, so don't be too surprised.
At the last COO meeting, I had everyone...
hand in their resignation.
You can pick any one of Haesan's subsidiaries.
I'll accept the resignation of that company's COO...
and appoint you as the new COO instead.
Like you said earlier,
you really are direct.
I say what I mean.
I don't know what you think,
but this is the biggest crisis we have faced...
in the company's history.
Kang Sam Do got...
all the other banks to join him.
My company is short on funds.
If that's the situation you're in,
what help could I be when I've never run a company?
And why would I join a company short on funds?
This is...
not about management or funds.
You know and I know that.
No, I don't know.
From what I heard,
you and Kang Sam Do are arch enemies.
- How could that be? - The current plan is...
to ruin Haesan Group,
and you, Auditor Noh Dae Ho.
They want to get rid of us both.
I thought of you as a pushover at first.
But I watched you for a few days...
and you're the opposite.
You're a tiger.
A very large one.
If you were sent here,
that means you have something...
on Kang Sam Do.
You're mistaken.
No, I'm right.
Also,
do you know that Kang Sam Do...
caused Haesan Group's first bankruptcy?
Oh, I didn't know that.
Soon, other banks will get involved.
Then there will be no stopping that.
I can never know when and how they'll attack.
There's one more thing.
They could've waited and gather the creditors together,
then go with a work-out, court receivership,
or liquidation.
But if he sent you here first,
that means...
he plans to put the blame on you later on.
Did you know that?
I was the one who suggested the inspection.
I don't know for what reason,
but you're a thorn in Kang Sam Do's side.
You need to...
get out of there quick.
And then you can share...
Kang Sam Do's weakness with me.
This is perplexing.
May I go to the restroom...
and then give you an answer?
- Hello, Mr. Noh. - Have you left work?
No, I plan to leave a little later.
Is there a problem?
Oh, then in that case,
take the Haesan Construction files we reviewed together...
and get out of there right now.
It's an emergency.
Yes, sir.
(Haesan Construction)
(Copying)
(Haesan Construction)
Tell me the truth.
What is it you really want from me?
I'm a businessman.
If you work for me,
you will stop looking into Haesan Construction...
and the other subsidiaries.
Then naturally,
I will get to protect my two sons.
And for free,
I get leverage on Kang Sam Do.
Just a moment.
Please open your bag.
- What's the problem? - Some items can't be taken outside.
(Daehan Bank)
(Haesan Construction)
You were found with banned items.
We'll have to search your body,
laptop and phone.
- Do you agree? - You'll search me?
You stood up.
Does that mean you reject my offer?
No.
I knew it.
Then do you accept?
No, sir.
Then what...
Are you playing word games with me?
I never considered it an offer,
which is why there's nothing to accept or reject.
What?
We deleted everything...
that was created since your day of arrival.
(Haesan Group)
You want me to join...
when you treat your staff worse than...
you would an odd shoe?
Your attitude makes me furious.
- What? - I think that...
a corrupt and dishonest company...
should go down as soon as possible.
Even if that is Daehan Bank.
Please save Haesan.
What are you doing, Mr. Na?
You know very well that...
the current management has no hope.
You know the president is...
cutting the company in half to give it to his sons.
Pardon?
To tell the truth, I'm not a fan of banks.
This mess happened because we failed...
to collect the five million dollars.
The reason why the company was ruined enough to be shaken...
by such a small amount...
is because of the incompetent and selfish board of directors.
Then, is it true Haesan purposefully...
lowered its sales and assets consistently...
to bring up the ratio of merger?
Yes.
On top of that, the son's company is thriving amazingly.
- Do you mean Haesan Chemical? - Yes.
This isn't right. It's not.
I dedicated my youth to this company. They can't do this.
Thousands of employees here...
aren't their slaves.
However, the little hope I could find in the midst of it,
came from the many workers you have.
I'm talking about the virtuous employees...
who bow in front of you, and call you their president.
The only reason Haesan Construction should survive...
is because of those people.
I enjoyed the meal.
I'm still an auditor of Daehan Bank for now,
so I'll pay for my dinner.
What?
Hand it over.
- What? - I just heard from Hyun Ah.
Your insurance.
I can't hand it over.
I'm keeping it until I really need it.
Should I tell you something?
What Noh Dae Ho focused his research on...
was Haesan Construction's files.
Lucky for you,
I had everything taken away by security.
It'll put you at a disadvantage...
the longer you take.
I don't have much time, so let's make this concise.
I'm sure.
I don't intend on...
staying here very long either.
Is that so? I'm glad. What is it?
What is this?
It contains the log of all the bribes to date.
Mr. Cho, we don't take dirty money...
that could bring us trouble later.
Did I, Kang Sam Do,
ever take money from you?
There's money overflowing here at the bank.
Of course.
I think we're done here.
Was his name Mr. Choi?
I hear he can meet with the president at any time he wants.
The vice president of the National Economy Advisory Council.
Was his name Choi Jong Soo?
I don't know if you launder your money,
but not Mr. Choi.
It'll become a huge news if a rumor starts...
saying he takes bribes.
Mr. Choi and Daehan Bank...
have nothing to do with each other.
Kang Sam Do.
I know it's the truth.
Whether officially or unofficially,
Daehan Bank and Mr. Choi...
have nothing to do with each other.
If you ever...
mention Mr. Choi's name again,
that'll be the end of Haesan Construction.
Do you understand?
I got it.
Also, a tabloid is going around the financial industry.
Find it, and get rid of it.
That's not our work.
If I tell you to get rid of it, then get rid of it.
All right.
Starting from today,
Haesan Construction won't have any trouble with their funds.
You can go now.
Mr. Cho.
You need to work on...
educating your son.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say to you.
I got rid of the files.
You don't have to worry.
You should stay out of the country for a while.
I'll do that.
Also...
Yes. Do you mean Mr. Kim?
Don't worry.
I'll look after him well.
I'm ashamed to look at you.
(Daehan Bank)
(President Kang Sam Do)
Let's get started.
Over the last 10 days, I went to inspect...
Haesan Construction and their subsidiaries.
You can refer to the announcement...
for the accounting documents from the inspection.
So, how was it like when you actually went there?
There's a rumor saying it's a temporary financial strain.
Is that true?
Please save Haesan.
So?
Can you save Haesan?
Haesan...
can be saved. No,
we must save it.
