The Banker (더 뱅커)

Haesan...

can be saved.

No. We must save it.

The results from this inspection...

tells me that Haesan has no hope...

with the current executives.

In particular,

the succession of management has resulted in abnormal...

management, preventing the employees from performing their work.

Despite such situation, the employees at Haesan...

were still full of passion for their work.

I was able to see their desire...

to save Haesan no matter what.

Haesan still has hope with them.

We must quickly form...

a creditor's committee to save Haesan.

I also judge Auditor No...

to be able to save Haesan...

as the representative of creditors.

The representative won't be me.

I cannot be the representative without any management experience.

I want to leave it to a management specialist.

Please come in.

What, Vice-president Lee?

How are you doing?

As a banker,

I never imagined myself being stabbed.

But I'm glad that you have regained consciousness.

It was a great chance to hear the truth from Bae Dong Seok.

So,

is Bae Dong Seok safe?

Well,

wasn't it Bae Dong Seok who stabbed you?

No.

I saw him fighting with someone in front of the restaurant.

I think I heard the name...

Park Jeong Bae.

Park Jeong Bae, the president of Seomin Agency?

Then it wasn't Bae Dong Seok who stabbed you,

- but Park Jeong Bae? - Yes.

The police is currently after Bae Dong Seok.

Who must be helping Park Jeong Bae...

- for him to cause such a bold act? - I'm not sure.

It is suspicious in many ways.

Either way, it would be better to keep it a secret...

to the bank that I regained consciousness.

Yes, I agree.

Did anything happen in the meantime?

President Kang asked me to be the representative of creditors.

The creditors?

To you?

He said that Haesan must be behind your case and that we should...

eliminate their executives with Haesan's insolvency as a chance.

Haesan is behind my case?

So, how was Haesan?

I have come up with the conclusion that...

it could be saved if...

the Jo family steps down from management.

But of course, I cannot be the representative of creditors.

Of course not.

Asking you to be the representative...

is just his excuse to eliminate you.

I'm aware.

We must find a management specialist.

Ah.

There is someone.

This is Mr. Yoon Ho Seung who will take charge of the creditors.

Vice-president Lee has been of great help...

in bringing Mr. Yoon here.

Have you recovered, Mr. Lee?

If so,

it's very fortunate.

I've presented myself in these conditions as this is...

a crucial moment for Haesan Group.

Isn't he...

the wizard at revitalizing companies?

I heard that he was in America. When did he return?

It's remarkable of you, Mr. Lee,

to be able to recruit Mr. Yoon.

Daehan Bank also holds some responsibility...

in making Haesan suffer first insolvency.

I felt that it happened due to my absence.

That's why I feel more responsible.

Is that so?

I show my respect to you, Mr. Lee, for putting Daehan Bank...

before yourself.

But are you really feeling okay?

Mr. Kang, you wanted...

Auditor No to be the representative of creditors.

But what are the thoughts of the creditors?

It would be a huge discourtesy to...

a busy man like Mr. Yoon to make...

a trip in vain,

but could you also consider this as paying me a visit?

I'm also...

against sending Auditor No away...

as the representative of creditors when there is...

a more suitable man.

What are your thoughts?

You do hold some valid points in making Auditor No...

the representative of creditors, but it did feel a bit...

strange to have a bank auditor save a corporation.

Ah, I see.

That is true. Daehan is the main creditor bank,

but it doesn't feel natural to have an auditor to...

represent the creditors.

Now that we have the right man for it,

I don't see a reason to debate over this.

It's amazing how...

you were able to find a management specialist...

in such a short period of time.

I won't forget until the end all the efforts you've made...

for Haesan Group.

Well done.

Thank you, Mr. Kang.

Professor Choi is…

He must be doing fine.

It's been a while...

since he visited his son and daughter.

His children must be overseas.

His son is in New York and...

his daughter was in... Miami?

He must be resting well, spending...

good times with his grandchildren.

How nice is that.

Anyway, how long will Daehan Bank...

keep going at Haesan Group?

President Kang is making a misjudgment.

It's time for President Kang to step down.

- That's poor handling of things! - He must still believe...

that Daehan Bank will be ruined without him.

It looks like he is anxious.

He even brought Secretary Song back.

Ah, right.

Secretary Song was...

brought back out of the blue.

We must do something before he makes a move.

President Kang will step down and...

you will be the first female president of Daehan Bank, Ms. Han.

It's premature.

- I lack the capabilities. - No, that's not true.

It is the perfect time in our eyes.

Vice-president Lee is also hospitalized.

There was no need to mention that.

It sounds like we want to take advantage of a tragedy.

I'm not different on the inside and outside unlike someone.

Please watch your words.

It would be good if we could secure CAO Bae...

who stabbed Vice-president Lee.

Do you know about Bae Dong Seok,

the CAO of Seomin Policy Research Institute?

No, not really.

He took care of the dirty work for President Kang.

If only we could secure his statement that President Kang...

- made him stab Vice-president Lee. - Mr. Jung!

Please watch your words.

What do you think, Ms. Han?

You saw what happened to Yook Gwan Sik.

President Kang hates any threat to his position.

Doesn't he seem capable of doing it?

Vice-president Lee has shown up at Haesan Group's creditors meeting.

I'm sorry. I need to get going as something urgent came up.

I'm sorry.

I thought that you were close to Auditor No,

but I guess that wasn't the case.

Did you keep it a secret knowing that...

- Vice-president Lee was awake? - What do you mean?

I...

- I truly had no idea. I apologize. - No,

no need to apologize.

I had Secretary Kim to take care of the hospital.

It's the secretary team's fault.

It's okay.

But,

it's wistful.

One thing for a fact...

that I learned once again...

is to not trust a person.

You may leave...

and do your work.

Yes. I'll go do some work.

Did the representative of creditors for Haesan Group pass?

Yes!

I'm relieved for Haesan Group, but I still have regrets...

that I couldn't bring the documents from Haesan Construction.

A part of the reason why I inspected...

Haesan Construction was to see the documents...

of D1 district's core company.

- Ah, really? - You're very meticulous.

Their corporate tax was unusually high...

in comparison to their business profit.

So I closely inspected their fixed assets to find out...

that it was mainly due to non-business land...

that was not shown externally.

The size of the non-business lands...

match with the size of the D1 district...

which we couldn't verify the owners earlier on.

Which means that all the lands we couldn't...

verify belonged to Haesan Construction.

Or their supporters could have used nominal trust.
