Money Game (Meonigeim / 머니게임)

Let's see if Sokcho can produce the president of Korea.

We'll make it a game.

You...

By the looks of it, I can guess what's going on.

Stop Chae Yi Hun.

Then I'll make sure that the US sides with you.

You are a man reaching for what you desire.

Anyone can easily tell which deal will benefit you the most.

Okay?

Bahama is more than capable of doing something like that.

But the US is very strict when it comes to law and procedure.

Whatever you try to do,

it will take time.

You were probably going to stir things up...

with the help of a few hedge funds, bring in some China money,

and make big money by doing so.

But the truth is, you lost.

So what?

You’re in no place to make a proposal.

Let me make a one instead.

I know C and D tried to help you...

by messing with Korea’s credit rating.

They’re probably going to try and settle things...

by returning our credit rating back to normal.

Tell them to publicly apologize...

to the entire world.

You're talking about a credit rating agency.

It's the same as telling them to die.

No, I'm telling them to take responsibility.

Otherwise, I won't be able to stop the runaway train...

that is Chae Yi Hun.

Isn't that what you're afraid of?

You don't want the world to know who was behind the Jungin Bank scandal.

You won't be free...

from the accusations.

I'm afraid it had nothing to do with me.

Besides,

you're in Korea.

I guess you have about two weeks.

Chae Yi Hun...

wants...

to crush you.

You're unbelievable.

Here you go. - My goodness!

Thank you.

When you go to Hongnyeonam this week,

please pray for this as well.

Sure. You can ask me anything.

So that they don't call us a currency manipulator,

please pray for the Korea-US alliance...

to be as sturdy as iron. - Sure thing.

Please enjoy then.

Will do.

Gosh, it's been so long.

Thanks to you, I'm getting the chance to enjoy this again.

Hello, sir.

What brings you by this late?

Eugene Han came to see me.

Is he in Korea?

Remember what I said about Chancellor Ludwig Erhard,

the architect behind Germany's economic recovery?

Why is Eugene Han in Korea?

I'm trying to force him to squeeze an apology out of C and D.

So you want to play the hero.

He laid down his condition.

I'm to stop you in return.

So about Jo Hee Bong...

Sir. - The chief prosecutor in Daejeon...

agreed on two weeks.

Is that enough time...

to persuade Jo Hee Bong?

It's not.

Then it's my turn to choose.

Just know that the pool of choices...

includes the options one can abandon.

Got it?

I mean, can you believe it?

I thought we were at war or something.

Tell me about it.

It's like DPM Heo is invincible.

I thought the man was surely a goner.

It's not just Mr. Heo but Mr. Chae as well.

The man has the guts to be DPM himself one day.

Don't I know it.

Hello. - Hi.

You're in early.

Hey, you're here.

Isn't it nice to sit in front of me?

Yes, I couldn't be more thrilled.

We need to talk.

We can talk here... - Follow me.

Is he threatening me to resign or what?

The investigation into you will be delayed.

I didn't know you were that influential.

Let me lay it out for you.

Director Seo Yang Woo of Jungin Bank...

participated in the manipulation of the bank's BIS capital ratio.

The objective was to receive an investment from Bahama.

The problem occurred when it was revealed to the public.

Then you gave Director Seo...

a document.

A detailed document...

carefully forged by Eugene Han of Bahama.

Director Seo felt cornered already,

so he fixed the document...

which was then taken to the president.

By then,

you were in league with Eugene Han.

The proof of that is your 10 million dollar building...

in Banpo.

I don't understand a word you're saying.

Not long after, Director Seo...

realizes Eugene Han's scheme.

Guilt eats him up as he figures out what he has cost this nation.

The fear, the pressure,

and the betrayal of the friend he trusted.

They all led to him...

losing his life.

Yang Woo committed suicide.

That is the truth and no one can say otherwise.

Admit to what you have done...

and fix what you can.

That's how you can seek forgiveness.

How far are you willing to go?

How far do you think you'll get?

I have something to tell you.

Later, Hye Joon.

I'll be blunt with you.

You won't be able to stop the prosecution's investigation.

Your connection to Bahama will be revealed.

Director Chae bought you time...

so that you could fix this yourself.

Ms. Lee, you and I...

are the same kind of people.

Director Chae isn't! Look who his father was.

I'll help in any way...

when the prosecution starts questioning you.

Why is that?

Did you decide to openly take Director Chae's side now?

Did he promise to help advance your career?

I'm the one...

who told Mr. Chae after figuring out...

your connection to Bahama.

What? - DPM Heo already knows.

How...

did you find out?

You're out of options now.

Where are you off to? Aren't you heading home?

Director Chae summoned a meeting.

What?

The MOFA Southeast Asia Team is here.

Why? - To discuss...

the currency swap with China.

What on earth is up with you and Director Chae though?

It's nothing.

Get back in then.

I'll get going.

But sir!

Darn.

Welcome.

I haven't run into anyone I know at this place,

so relax. - You can't show up like this!

Just leave for Puerto Rico or the Bahamas or something.

What?

DPM Heo has me and Chae Yi Hun in the palm of his hands.

I don't intend to dance to his beat,

but Chae Yi Hun has begun to dance for him already.

It must be tough for you.

I want a latte. - Okay.

Me too.

Listen. I won't die like some other people.

Good thinking.

I was nervous now and then.

I'm going to Wall Street.

Did you get a call?

Anyway,

congratulations.

This way.

You know about my Swiss account, right?

Deposit 10 million dollars into that account.

Why? - You need something...

to keep you free from the DPM's control, right?

Do you have something?

Tell me once you have the money.

This isn't how you make a deal.

I don't know what you're offering.

Director Chae's father. Professor Chae Byung Hak.

Hello, Professor.

Do I know you?

I'm Jo Hee Bong. Class of 97.

I took your class, "Theory of Macroeconomics."

I remember...

History? - Yes. I majored in Western History.

I can't believe you remember me.

Your class was so hard.

I remember there was a unique fellow.

Here. Join me for some tea.

Thank you.

Here.

Thank you for remembering me.
