(Episode 15)
We don't have anything on REITs Department or the D1 Plan.
That's impossible.
This is something...
our employee photocopied from here today.
It's not in our list of documents.
Are you sure they photocopied it from here?
Yes.
2014, REITs Department.
The draft of D1 Plan.
That's strange.
Was it omitted?

(Company: Seomin Finance, Representative: Park Jung Bae)
Let's talk. I'm in your neighborhood.
What is it?
I went to the Seosomun Head Office.
You went there in person? Why?
If I get right to the point,
the D1 Plan's draft you have is fake.
- What do you mean? - I couldn't find D1 Plan's draft,
nor anything on REITs Department.
How is that possible?
Do you really not know?
Are you saying someone made a fake draft of the D1 Plan...
and left it there for the Audit Office to take it?
I think they made it in a hurry.
The document is supposed to be from the 1st quarter of 2014,
but they used the current logo.
Mr. Yook wasn't at the end of this.
Do you think...
Mr. Kang is involved?
It's not for sure yet.
We need to look into it more.
I better meet with Mr. Kang again.
You said that he told you...
to stop your investigation on the D1 Plan.
Isn't it useless to ask him?
A bank's auditor...
exists for the bank.
Your position...
exists to protect the bank.
Now,
stop digging into the past...
and focus your efforts...
on making sure this doesn't happen...
in the future.
That is...
your job and duty.
I probably won't get a different answer out of him.
Mr. Bae and The Best members aren't picking up my calls.
Is that so?
You should report it to your group.
No.
We still need each other for now.
It's best not to make the situation bigger than it has to be.
Also,
Mr. Jung of REITs Department called me.
Mr. Jung?
Ms. Han seems to have called him...
to ask him about REITs Department.
Perhaps Mr. Noh went to Ms. Han for some advice.
Maybe that's why she's digging into the REITs Department.
It looks like you're missing out...
on what the Audit Office is doing.
I'll look into everything more meticulously.
- Get every detail. - Yes, sir.
I'll handle everything well so you're not worried in Frankfurt.
This business trip...
is becoming burdensome in many ways.
This time,
the members of The Best made some trouble.
What kind of trouble?
The fire at D1 District...
wasn't Sam Do's doing.
The Best hired Mr. Bae to do it.
Without consulting us?
It's offending,
but Mr. Choi seems to be happy with it,
so Sam Do also didn't say anything about it.
I looked into it because I found it strange.
And?
Well, the building...
being burnt down was good for all of us.
It's Sam Do's fault that he couldn't control...
The Best and the Seomin people.
If we use this to our advantage...
You can break the trust Mr. Choi has...
in Sam Do.
If we're lucky,
he might be removed from the bank's president position.
Right. That bank...
has a dull auditor, doesn't it?
If we're lucky,
we might need a new partner.
If we dig too deep,
we might get in trouble too.
As long as Mr. Choi is with us,
Sam Do won't be able to say anything.
He'll have to step back without making a squeak.
What was that?
Gosh, this is really hard to do.
Good morning, Ms. Jang.
Are you looking for something?
Me? Looking for what?
Why don't you ask the General Affairs Department?
The General Affairs Department?
- They came and took your tent. - What?
They were wondering if someone was lodging in the office...
and said that they would hunt him down for sure.
What do you mean, hunt down?
Someone could have brought it to go camping.
They don't have proof that someone was lodging here.
Sir! I...
Seo Bo Geol?
The General Affairs Department wants you to come...
and get your tent by lunch time.
Yes, sir.
There's someone out there who's trying to stop the Audit Office...
from investigating the D1 Plan.
It can't be Vice President Yook, who's in jail.
They're trying to make it look like Vice President Yook did it...
and we took the bait.
Bo Geol's effort has gone to waste.
Then who could it be?
Who would do this?
- Wow. - Come on.
You're out often.
The office atmosphere is great thanks to you all.
They were the ones who led me to the Seosomun Head Office.
The REITs Department?
Are you investigating the REITs Department?
You should have come right up to us.
We've practically been around here the longest.
They have a document storage room...
at Seosomun Head Office, where they keep the files...
that are past the retention period.
If you check over there, you'll probably be able to find...
quite a lot of documents related to the real estate business.
They've been working with President Kang...
for a long time now.
I'm dealing directly with your higher-ups.
If the higher-up that Mr. Park of Seomin Agency was talking about...
is not Vice President Yook,
could it be President Kang?
I shouldn't be jumping to conclusions.
Those under President Kang could be the ones setting him up.
Mr. Auditor, it's not of virtue for a salaried worker...
to work on a task that wasn't given to him.
He could even afford to...
threaten Daehan Bank's Audit Office.
That means someone's got his back, for sure.
Could it be too much of a risk to work on a case...
President Kang told me to drop?
It's not just my own risk.
Do you think the D1 Plan and the documents from...
the closed branches being destroyed could be correlated?
Oh, sorry. I couldn't help it.
Don't press yourself.
How can I not? When a company commits a corruption,
it's always the innocent employees who are sacrificed.
Shouldn't we settle it as soon as possible?
Well, that's true.
Can you imagine how much misdeeds...
the bank must've done, in the name of business?
It's not just a sin against others,
it's also a sin against family and your own self as well.
I received an offer proposing to sell us the original D1 report.
What do you mean, "the original"?
Who would have such a copy?
The retired general manager of the REITs Department.
He's the one who wrote the draft, so I think he's trustworthy.
He wants to sell it to us.
Contact him.
Who is he?
Someone who took all means in order to win.
That's why people considered him competent.
He's just the opposite of you.
Anyway, make sure to get that original copy.
I'll try giving him a call. Thank you.
(General Manager Jung Chang Eui, Number 213 573 4679)
Do you have time after work?
I need to look for a house,
but I'm not familiar with Seoul.
I want to check out your neighborhood.
I have a lot of work to catch up on after work hours.
Work?
You should show him around the neighborhood.
I don't need to see his neighborhood.
His neighborhood is my neighborhood.
We live in the same area.
What?
Yes, hello.
Have you thought about it?
Auditor Noh from the Audit Office will give you a call.
Is that so? Why is that?
It's the Audit Office's business, so I gave him your contact number.
Well, it doesn't matter who gives me the money,
but should you really be this relaxed at this point?
Now is your chance, with Mr. Yook and Ms. Do out of the way.
To be frank, you have no familial ties...
or connections you earned in school or after within that bank.
You need a weapon that others don't have.
Sure. I got it.
Don't pretend you're listening.
I've also worked for Daehan Bank, you know.
I know how it works.
Sure.
Well, I'll talk to that man, Auditor Noh.
All right. Thank you.
Yes?
Come on in, Auditor Noh.
Have you found more about the REITs Department?
Yes. One of our employees found...
the D1 Plan report at the Seosomun Head Office.
Is that so?
But it was a fake report.
When we went back to the Seosomun Head Office,
we couldn't find any documents...
regarding the REITs Department, as well as the D1 Plan report.
The D1 Plan wasn't merely a real estate loan business.
We also found traces of Seomin Agency in Seomin Finance,
which is the developer that led the project.
Seomin?
The bank closed down all branches related to...
this company named "Seomin", to remove any trace of proof...
in which illegal measures have been taken.
Then that's a scheme.
Did you report it to President Kang?
Well, I've told him, but...
he told me to drop the case.
"The Audit Office exists to protect the bank."
"The Audit Office should work..."
"to keep things like this from happening again."
I guess that's what he said?
So what are you planning on doing?
Well, the registered director of Seomin Agency and Seomin Finance,
along with Seomin Distribution, which we found additionally,
- is Bae Dong Seok. We need to... - Bae Dong Seok?
Bae Dong Seok from Seomin Policy Institute.
Remember this name.
If anyone stabs you from behind,
the chance of it being Mr. Bae, who's affiliated with Mr. Kang,
is almost 99 percent.
Well, then I guess you should find him first.
Yes.
I'll have to take this call.
Hello?
The results aren't good.
The patient would have felt it too.
It should have been painful.
Then what can we do?
Don't worry too much.
She'll just take the treatments as she did so far.
We'll try to find different ways as well.
[VIU Ver] MBC E15 'The Banker' "Bae Dong Seok and Seomin Policy Institute" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Shouldn't you get going?
It's all right.
Then...
will you have dinner with Han Sol?
Let's go home.
Han Sol.
- Is he your dad? - Is he your dad?
Yes. Go on ahead.
Han Sol.
What would you like to eat?
Isn't there any way...
to meet someone once they die?
Han Sol.
If Mom dies,
what do I do?
Han Sol. Nothing's happened yet.
Mom is not that weak.
How would you know?
You didn't live with her for 10 years.
- I do know. - No. You don't.
You don't even know about me.
I'm sorry.
Did you have to divorce her?
If you didn't, she might not have gotten sick.
It seemed...
like the right choice back then.
Right. Just because you're divorced, doesn't mean you'll get sick.
How is school? Do you like it?
Why would I like it?
I see. It must be hard.
- But still... - If I go to college,
will I be happy?
I don't know.
Not all university students look happy.
But then,
not going to university doesn't mean you'll be happy either.
That's true.
How are things at the bank?
The bank needs to see a doctor too.
What? What's that?
I wish I knew.
Si Hyeon's a female friend, right?
I'll have jajangmyeon.
I'm Daehan Bank's auditor Noh Dae Ho.
Oh, yes.
Director Han Soo Ji mentioned you.
I heard you worked at the REITs Department.
- May I ask a few questions? - No.
I won't discuss anything else,
other than selling...
the D1 Plan papers I have.
It's illegal for a retired banker to sell papers that belong to...
- his previous workplace. - So what?
My office cannot take part in an illegal deal as such.
Then we have nothing more to talk about.
Is there any other way?
You have too many demands when you're the one in need.
You worked for Daehan Bank just a few years ago.
I don't get what you mean.
Why did Soo Ji give my number to someone so frustrating?
I'll hang up.
Our Daehan Bank...
has now opened branches in Chennai, Gurgaon,
and Mumbai in India.
I think it's time to establish a local corporation there.
Are you saying that establishing...
a local corporation is your solution to localization?
Yes.
Considering the exponential growth rate of India's...
financial market with 1.3 billion people,
it would be too late even if we proceed immediately.
Right now, when we open a branch...
or launch a new product,
we need India's central bank to sign off everything individually.
That takes a lot of time and effort.
If Daehan Bank establishes a local corporation in India,
the corporate tax will go down from 40 percent to 30,
and our capital and credit limit will increase...
But won't the restrictions on...
preferred loan fields and policies...
become more stringent?
Yes.
Even so...
India is an IT powerhouse.
If we establish a local corporation,
we can develop a mobile platform we always wanted...
For the entrance into a new market to be profitable,
we must give up old-fashioned, conquering strategies.
Opening stores in various locations abroad...
just to show off,
has its limits.
Look at the successful cases from foreign banks.
They expand to other countries after succeeding...
in 1 or 2 other countries.
But we're just...
opening branches all over the place.
To make a profit abroad,
we need a scale of economy.
I believe we must...
pick a few countries and focus on them.
Of course, India is not one of those countries.
- But President Kang... - We must break free from...
changing our overseas business policies with each president.
We need a central control tower that can set up...
and manage a long-term goal to enter overseas markets.
Of course,
until now, under President Kang's influence,
you wouldn't have felt the need for one.
We need a system that can center around the board...
and monitor our overseas business,
regardless of who's in charge of the bank.
That's right.
Selection and focus are important for overseas businesses.
Don't you agree?
The Indian government...
is famous for being stingy with approvals.
It's too early for us to consider a local corporation in India.
Other Korean banks...
are already entering the PF market in India.
Director Han.
Are you going after the vice president position?
Pardon?
- What... - As director of Future Planning,
if you succeed in establishing a local corporation in India,
you seem to think President Kang...
will make you vice president.
Director Han.
You'll get sick if you eat too fast.
You and Daehan Bank both.
President Kang wishes to connect via video from Frankfurt.
I'll put him through.
(Daehan Bank)
I greet you all via a video conference.
I heard you're having an important meeting.
We were discussing a possible Indian local corporation.
I see.
What's your opinion on the matter, Vice President Lee?
America raised their interest rate,
and Brexit will affect Europe's financial market.
Considering how troubled things are,
rather than expand within India,
I think we should focus on strengthening our domestic stance.
How about you, Director Han?
I think...
this is the right time.
I see.
I'm impressed, Director Han.
I also think that India...
will provide a good market for us to grow in.
We have enough capital to invest.
I believe this is our opportunity.
Either way, we shall settle this matter...
of an Indian local corporation when I return.
Let's end the meeting.
I know.
If she knew what President Kang means,
she wouldn't act out...
as if she were vice president.
That's right. Don't mind her.
Thanks a lot for...
Don't rejoice because he took your side.
He didn't take your side at all.
He just used you to cut me down.
Didn't I tell you before?
The end of one who is being used is never good.
You've seen Director Do.
If you can't bite, don't bark.
Even if you know you can't bite, you should still bark.
Biting takes courage,
but so does barking.
It's a disgrace to see that the board's divided into factions.
Factions exist even in interest groups.
Don't say it's a disgrace.
Fight and win.
Mr. Jung called.
Why won't you buy what he's offering?
It's not the fake report your team found.
It's the real one.
Do you want to obtain that without a price?
I'm looking for a way other than an illegal transaction.
You want to keep your pride...
and get what you want.
It must be tough being you.
Now is your chance, with Mr. Yook and Ms. Do out of the way.
To be frank, you have no familial ties...
or connections you earned...
in school or after within that bank.
You need a weapon that others don't have.
Hi, Director Han.
Hello. I'd like to ask you something.
President Kang, you old rascal.
Chairman, it's Lee Hae Gon.
Stand in line.
What's going on?
President Kang's returning.
President Kang?
Are they all executives from the head office?
- They're from Myungsung Bank. - What?
There was a huge fuss about our executives not showing up.
I don't know much.
But I just got the call from President Kang's secretary.
The arrival gate has changed...
for passengers who are arriving in Korea.
President Kang.
- Welcome back. - How was the trip?
- Hello. - He's the airport branch director.
I see.
The flight has been delayed.
May I have your attention, please.
According to the Aviation Security Law,
passengers of all flights are prohibited from carrying items...
I'm looking into what happened.
- President Kang is here. - Yes.
Gosh.
Are you here, President Kang?
I heard you were going straight to your house from the airport.
No.
Did you have a comfortable trip?
What brought you here in person?
- Well... - The chairman of FSC is very busy,
so we had him come here.
I'm sorry I couldn't greet you at the airport.
It's okay. You did a good job.
I'm about to go eat with him.
Will you join us?
No, I already ate.
You should take him out.
I will.
- I will see you soon. - See you next time.
I'll be back.
I didn't know Vice President Lee would do such a thing.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes?
Does Vice President Lee...
look like a threat to you?
Not at all.
Go and get something to eat.
I've been to everywhere,
but it's my first time going to jail.
Why is that?
Didn't you say you were a roughneck back in the days?
I was, but I only went behind bars at police stations.
I haven't been to a penitentiary.
By the way, Mr. Yook...
used to hold himself so high. What happened?
(Visiting Request)
Yes, this is the reception.
Yes. Okay.
Visitor for Mr. Yook Kwan Shik?
That was so fast.
I couldn't see him.
He declined my request to visit.
Why would he decline?
Why does Mr. Yook want to keep his mouth shut this badly?
He warned me to be careful around President Kang.
Is D1 Plan that big?
Is it that dangerous?
(Episode 16 will air shortly.)
(Episode 16)
There are so many people here,
and they all get to go home at night.
Everyone except for me.
That jerk Moon Hong Ju...
lives in Ms. Jang's neighborhood.
I, Seo Bo Geol, won't just sit still.
I went to visit Vice President Yook.
You went all the way to the penitentiary?
I couldn't see him. He declined to see me.
Mr. Seo, the D1 Plan's draft you found...
at Seosomun Head Office is fake.
Pardon?
I presume someone left it there on purpose for our office to take.
Why? Why would they do that?
We must find that out.
Why did they want to give a fake document about D1 Plan...
to the Audit Office?
Since Mr. Yook declined to see me,
we'll have to find that out on our own.
I plan on seeing the branch managers of the closed branches...
that weren't under Senior Director Do.
Before that,
I want to say that D1 Plan...
is connected to the branch closures,
and it's complicated and dangerous.
That's why...
I don't dare to rashly ask you to join me.
What do you mean?
We're all members of the Audit Office.
Of course we should follow you.
What if the higher-up Seomin Agency's Park Jung Bae...
mentioned isn't Mr. Yook?
What if the bank got involved at an organizational level?
What should I do to help?
Will you be able to handle it?
I'll be responsible for everything,
but there's nothing I can guarantee for you.
I'm very curious to know the full story behind this.
I must find out.
Me too.
Why did they close so many branches?
It doesn't make sense.
We're weak,
but we can't remain silent in front of the truth.
We'll follow you no matter what.
Do you think we'll be able to do it?
Hey! Are you taking this bus?
Aren't you going home?
I...
I have somewhere else to go.
(Lease)
What is this? Why is Ms. Jang's neighborhood so expensive?
Seriously.
I wonder if Mom's well.
Mom.
- Did you eat? - No.
Doesn't the bank that hired you feed you?
They give me my monthly wage.
But my wage isn't enough for me to find a place.
Everyone goes home after work, but I don't have anywhere to go.
You can just come back home.
Why are you going through all that trouble there?
You're right.
I thought I'd look cool working in Seoul,
but only scary things happen.
What?
What scary things?
What are you talking about?
Hey, Bo Geol.
My baby.
Hey, you better come back home right away.
Should I?
I don't think I'll ever move up if I work for Mr. Noh.
How did my life as a banker get so tough?
Hey. Bo Geol.
Come back home right now.
I'm a loner here anyway.
What?
A loner? Who?
Which jerk is making you a loner?
I'm the only one without a home.
Like attracts like. That's human nature.
It's not a surprise I'm a loner since I don't have a home.
How can there be such jerks? Come back home right now!
But Mom,
the people at my office aren't jerks.
What?
Mom. The Audit Office is the only hope that will save...
Daehan Bank from the dark.
And the office can't function without me.
How should I go home?
Also I can get a loan for a house.
I'm a banker.
Mom, I got this under control.
Don't you worry.
What are you talking about?
Bo Geol!
(Daehan Bank)
Director Han.
Are you going after the vice president position?
You'll get sick if you eat too fast.
I see. I'm impressed, Director Han.
You can't survive here...
just because you're competent,
or do as they say.
Take my word, do not trust President Kang.
And beware of Noh Dae Ho...
who's jumping around with Kang on his back.
I'm looking for a way other than an illegal transaction.
The end of one who is being used is never good.
You've seen Director Do.
If only I could turn President Kang to my side.
(Manager Jung Chang Eui)
Yes.
Have you considered it?
Yes, I did.
How did you know about President Kang and Bae Dong Seok?
I buy and sell information.
Seriously?
You need to throw something in if you want to negotiate.
Bae Dong Seok...
He's from the Intelligence Division of the police.
He wasn't that good.
He was old school.
He wasn't able to adapt to the new investigating style.
Then he planned a corruption.
He never threw away his bad habits.
And started dealing information after he got out.
He was making flyers.
It was a perfect lead for a freelancer like me.
But,
one day he disappeared.
Then he showed up as the head of a department...
called Seomin Policy Institute,
and it seemed very suspicious.
It was suspicious indeed.
And he was meeting with the secretary of President Kang.
Secretary Kim?
That Secretary Kim guy.
He was just a security guard at Mr. Kang's branch.
And he made it up to being the secretary of a president.
- It means the President hired him. - Right.
So he's loyal to the President.
He is.
Anyways,
Bae Dong Seok and Daehan Bank had been together for quite a while.
And someone stronger is working with them.
Someone stronger? Who?
I just can't figure that out.
Figure it out.
President Kang... What an interesting guy.
I smell something fishy.
We'll see how long you can act all innocent.
Hello, is this Branch Manager Kim Sang Hyoung?
I'm Auditor Noh from Daehan Bank.
He just hung up?
What kind of a branch manager is that?
He doesn't care about the bank.
(List of Closed Branches)
How could they do that?
They either don't pick up the phone,
or hang up before hearing us out.
His name was Kim Sang Hyoung.
If his family name was Lee, he could've been Lee Sang Hyoung.
Auditor Noh, this is not the time for dad jokes.
The managers of the closed branches who are not affiliated with...
Director Do are deliberately avoiding our calls.
Don't you think this is weird?
Your phone is low on battery.
Let's see.
Where's my charger?
I'll do it for you.
(Wireless PowerShare)
Wow.
Thank you, Ms. Jang. You always take good care of me.
These are basics. I'm smart like that.
Are you? Well, I'm sweet like that.
Mr. Moon, have you found anything new?
No.
Why don't we go find them, instead of calling them?
(Vice President Lee Hae Gon)
Hello.
Investigate Seomin Policy Institute.
"Seomin Policy Institute"?
Bae Dong Seok is the general manager there.
Mr. Moon.
Find out about Seomin Policy Institute.
Sure.
How may I help you?
I'm here to see Mr. Bae Dong Seok.
He's on outside duty.
When will he come back?
- He's not coming here for a while. - What?
So how do we see him?
You could leave a memo.
You don't know when he's coming back?
So we're supposed to wait for him?
I'm sorry.
This is ridiculous.
Mr. Yook, the former branch managers,
and even the Seomin Policy Institute.
It seems like they're all avoiding us.
I don't like this one bit.
You're off work early.
Are you one of those work-life balance people?
I told you to keep your hands off of Daehan Bank.
The future of Daehan Bank, Vice President Lee.
He's young, determined, and passionate.
You could be a perfect partner for us.
- Better than that old president. - What?
I heard you don't like President Kang.
Work with me.
Then I'll tell you how things run around here,
and I'll introduce you to them.
You came to the wrong guy.
I'm no President Kang.
I'm saying you could be more than President Kang.
I'm intrigued, but this isn't the right way.
Then what is the right way...
for Vice President Lee?
I know you want to hear something from me.
The D1 plan.
Tell me about the D1 plan, and I'll consider it.
When we can completely trust each other,
then I'll tell you.
Call me when you make your decision.
You'll call me.
Because you need me.
(Signed by Seo Bo Geol)
Here.
Thank you for your work.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Keep it up, gentlemen.
(Yeon Il Real Estate)
What's Mi Ho doing?
(Mi Ho, did you eat? We're neighbors now!)
Why isn't she reading my text?
I'll ask her to show me around,
buy her chicken and beer,
and naturally...
Ms. Jang!
Hey!
What are you doing here?
I'm moving in here.
I see.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to a concert, but I'm late.
What concert?
Can I come?
- You want to come? - Yes.
- Then, you... - Wait!
Let's take my car.
They don't have a parking lot.
Let's grab a taxi. It's not that far.
Sure.
Slow down.
This place looks nice.
This is awesome!
It's such a nice place.
Good. They've just begun.
Whose concert is it?
Want to go higher Want to go higher
You can take my bucket list
One day you left me a notebook
I held it in my hands
Moon Hong Ju? Is that Moon Hong Ju?
Why is it that we have so many things
We haven't done together
Do you come to his gig often?
What did you say?
I used to play piano when I was little.
I can't hear you!
My mom nagged me to take lessons.
Why did I have to skip them all?
Why didn't I know then that women...
have a weakness for musicians?
Mom.
Mom!
(Moon Hong Ju)
I want to go higher, want to go high
You can take my bucket list
I want to go higher, want to go high
Why are you in a band when you're a banker?
Why are you a banker when your mom owns a restaurant?
It's nothing like that at all.
Let's not get too involved in each other's lives.
Will you stop it? You're ruining my appetite.
I'll take this before you guys start fighting over the drumstick.
We're working on something our bank's future depends on.
So I'll hold back.
I can't reach Mr. Jung from the REITs Department.
I think he's going to...
give the report to Director Han.
I'll send someone to America.
No.
Pardon?
He'll have disappeared by now.
For a while, we should keep an eye on...
Director Han.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Noh.
Can we chat if you're free?
Sure. I'm free.
I'll drive.
[VIU Ver] MBC E16 'The Banker' "The D1 Plan Draft" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I plan to reform Daehan Bank.
Work with me.
Pardon?
I will definitely become bank president.
You won't lose anything by siding with me.
As an auditor,
I believe it's wrong for me to side with a faction.
Are you saying no?
I'm sorry.
The first step of reform...
is to get rid of President Kang.
That could be...
your lust for power, not reform.
Do you really believe so?
I thought we had a common goal.
Nothing has been confirmed yet.
You suspect President Kang,
but have you decided to trust him because he made you an auditor...
from being the manager of a closed branch?
No.
I'm only being cautious because I lack proof.
What do you think you can do?
There will be people who will help me.
I'd like your help as well.
Mr. Noh. Listen to me carefully.
Anyone who isn't my ally is my enemy.
If you take my side,
I will help and support you with everything.
I'm sorry.
"The first step of reform"?
It could be...
my lust for power, not reform?
About the D1 District fire.
I think it represents...
The Best kids' refusal...
to take orders from us any longer.
They overstepped their boundaries.
The kids are a problem,
but Sam Do knew about it and did nothing.
That doesn't sit right with me.
Did he try to hide the fact that he lost control of the kids?
I guess he wanted to refresh himself...
after the recent election.
Let's wait and see.
That's what President Kang told me.
Even so, I think he should've told us the truth.
That's true.
He's not just withholding information from us.
These days, Sam Do...
has been making too many decisions on his own.
I know all about it already.
You don't need to take turns trying to rat him out to me.
We're not ratting anyone out.
We aren't kids.
Anyway,
The Best kids need to be taught a lesson.
Education these days, have coddled them too much.
They didn't learn anything.
- Right. - Yes.
- Mr. Park. - Yes?
Call Mr. Yoon, head of the Fair Trade Commission.
Yes, sir.
Here you go.
Mr. Yoon.
It's me, Choi Jong Soo.
I'm Yoon Sang Ho, head of the Fair Trade Commission.
We will investigate...
Taesan Construction,
Hanyang Ocean,
JS Mall,
HBS, and Kangho Construction...
The Fair Trade Commission...
identified unfair transactions within a few companies,
- and will continue... - A displeasing rift...
has begun to form.
Whether there were any unfair investments...
will be center of the investigation.
Mr. Noh.
Deleted data from the closed branches.
We might be able to find them.
What? How is that possible?
In case of natural disasters like an earthquake...
or eruption of war,
there's a large data center that backs up and saves data,
such as customer information from branches and the head office.
Oh, really?
There's a data center that keeps all the backed-up data?
All banks in Korea have at least one center like that.
Daehan Bank's center is in Busan.
You must go to Busan then.
Enjoy your trip. You'll get to see the sea.
You must go too.
What? Us two?
None of us can move alone anymore.
I searched storage rooms all by myself.
You'll get to see the sea.
Busan's beaches are nice.
Do you want to come as well?
I have to assist Mr. Noh.
Two men by the sea?
I just can't stand it.
(President Kang Sam Do)
Sir.
Auditor Noh wants to...
send his team to the Busan data center.
He requested help from the General Manager of IT.
What do you mean?
Busan's data center...
holds transaction records from...
the closed branches.
- And? - And last night,
Vice President Lee...
met with Auditor Noh in secret.
There's one more thing.
Director Han...
received something via international mail.
The original copy of the D1 Plan...
has arrived.
(D1 Plan, REITs Department)
(Noh Dae Ho)
(President Kang's Secretary Office)
(D1 Plan)
I want to hear your explanation...
on what D1 Plan is about.
If you want to know about the D1 Plan,
then you can't do it in your current position.
Yes. 2014, REITs Department. The draft of D1 Plan.
That's strange. Was it omitted?
Congratulations, Vice President Han Soo Ji.
This is crazy news!
HR made an urgent announcement, and it's crazy.
(New Vice President Appointment)
(Han Soo Ji, Vice President)
How entertaining, Sam Do.
(The Banker)
Remember this.
Ms. Han and Mr. Kang will try to run the place on their own.
The only people who can stop them in Daehan Bank...
are the two of us.
If Daehan Bank was involved in any illegal activities,
no matter who and what kind of person that may be,
they will be audited without an exception.
Something like this won't even cause a scratch on Daehan Bank.
This audit seems to be aiming you, President Kang.
Should I take care of him?
Financial Supervisory Service here, for an emergency inspection.
