Money Game (Meonigeim / 머니게임)

I will now announce the disciplinary committee's final decision.

From the Ministry of Economy and Finance,

Ms. Lee Hye Joon is to be...

And who may you be?

I'm here to identify the person...

who took Jungin Bank's BIS capital ratio report...

from Director Na's computer.

I thought about...

what I might've missed.

Miss what?

Hey, Sang Min.

President Kang of Jungin Bank probably has someone...

who's really good with numbers. Try to find out who it is.

Yes, it's urgent.

You were right.

He's Seo Yang Woo, the director of the Strategy Planning Division.

He's the one who wrote the BIS capital ratio report.

Na Joon Pyo and Kook Kyung Min only made a few edits.

But he's leaving for Singapore in four days.

What? He's leaving the country after the board meeting?

That means he's going to stay abroad until things calm down.

Yi Hun, what do you plan to do?

Who was it?

Who took the report from Director Na's computer?

Me.

I took...

the report from Ms. Lee's desk...

and handed it over...

to the press.

This is unbelievable.

I'm the one who leaked the report.

I couldn't bear to see someone else...

get punished instead.

Ms. Lee.

Is there anything you'd like to say about this?

May I have a word with him in private?

No.

I'm sure you've already heard enough from her.

So please let her leave the room.

Hye Joon. - How did you come here?

I made time. I also have access here.

Let's go.

Is Yi Hun inside?

I'm from the FSC.

You're Ms. Lee Hye Joon, right? - Yes.

I'm Yi Hun's friend.

What happened?

You saw what happened.

He decided to take full responsibility.

I need to go to the police station.

But sir...

You'll be fine now, Ms. Lee.

I'm sorry about everything. - But...

Yi Hun! Yi Hun!

What...

You can't go talk to the police. What about Seo Yang Woo?

I barely managed to set an appointment with him.

I'll meet him on the way.

That's just what you think.

Do you think the cops will let you?

They need to ask for my consent...

before they summon me for a late-night investigation.

I'll just tell them I'd like to get investigated tomorrow morning.

Okay, I get that part.

But why are you complicating things?

Like I said,

Saerom Semiconductor's stock value was nine dollars per stock,

but he's the one who turned it into 1.25 dollars.

Seo Yang Woo is very careful and meticulous.

I know.

You told me we can get rid of Chairman Heo...

if we manage to convince Director Seo.

That was your idea.

But are you sure you can do this?

If the truth gets revealed, he'll end up going to jail.

I'll convince him. I can do it.

What if you fail?

I'll make it work no matter what.

Okay, fine. If you insist, then so be it.

You need to be there by 9pm if you want to meet Seo Yang Woo.

I'll see you there.

The disciplinary committee is also going to come with me.

Don't be late.

You're the one who shouldn't be late.

Are you planning to meet Mr. Chae later?

Why do you ask?

Did you lie to the president...

about Jungin Bank's BIS capital ratio...

because of Bahama?

Yes, sir.

Call the reporters...

and tell them I'd like to have dinner with them.

Okay, sir.

I'm on my way out.

Yes, he's here. Okay, sir.

Come inside.

So you're admitting to leaking government documents?

Yes.

Here's your Letter of Confession.

Please fill out the form.

Once we have the details, we'll let you go home.

Thank you.

The official investigation starts tomorrow.

Please be here by 9am.

Sure thing.

Yi Hun. - Sang Min, you're here.

You did well. - Let's go. We don't have much time.

Mr. Chae, wait!

You're under immediate arrest.

What? - What are you talking about?

He just finished answering your questions.

I'm afraid you must be held during this investigation.

I'm not a flight risk and I filled out your form.

He's not going anywhere. If you need him back here,

just call me and... - We could force you, you know.

Let's go. - Hold on a second.

We have urgent business. - Sir.

Let me see your warrant. - Come on.

Hold on a second. - Please step aside.

Wait a second. - Sang Min.

Go by yourself for now.

Mr. Chae, this way.

But detectives... Hold on a second.

Wait.

Just a second.

Yes.

Is that so? - Officer Park...

did all the heavy lifting.

He's my high school friend.

Director Na, I'll call you back.

Hello, sir. - Let's head inside.

Here you go.

If you insist, then so be it. You need to be there by 9pm.

Darn it.

Mr. Jin, I'm heading home.

Sure, good job today.

Are you closing up for the day?

I'm going to Seoul.

Bye, sir. - Sure.

Wait, come back here.

Yes?

Are you in college?

Actually, I'm a JS.

What's a JS?

A job seeker.

You should get going then. Good luck.

Who needs to seek for a job? You can just get one.

Gosh, are you still living the Stone Age?

In order to work at a large company, there's a lot to prepare these days.

Must it be a large company? There are plenty of smaller ones.

The wage is incomparable and so are employee benefits.

You're only picky because you're not hungry enough.

Back in our day, we worked whatever job was available.

Shouldn't you consider your parents?

It must've cost them a fortune to send you to college.

Sir. - Stop being like that.

People rarely starve to death anymore.

Finding a worthy job takes priority now.

You should get going.

Have a good day. - See you.

Good job today.

What was that? - Darn it.

Kids these days just don't consider their parents.

Once I marry my second son off, I'll only be left with my apartment.

This investment I'm making is as good as my lifeline.

I know it. I really do.

Anyway, eat up. I need to go to Seoul, remember?

Are you going to make this investment?

Of course.

After the global financial crisis,

Ben Bernanke printed money and sent it flying.

The newly circulated bills added up to about six trillion dollars.

His nickname Helicopter Ben seems fitting, right?

However,

even after all the quantitative easing,

not enough money has been circulating.

Remember the novel by Park Wan Suh?

"Who Ate Up All the Shinga?"

So,

who ate up...

all that money?

The rich?

Anyone else? - Those rich...

in real estate.

Are you part of the team? You don't seem familiar.

I'm a reporter on Macroeconomics Team One.

We enter the FSC on rotation.

I see.

No matter how much money the central bank issues,

it will only...

end up in the pockets of those rich.

It never ends up with those poor.

Let's say that someone decided to throw money on the Han River.

Wait, no. If that happens,

it could get dangerous due to the people jumping in with nets.

Unless someone is insane enough to throw money in Gwanghwamun Plaza,

the money...

will end up with the rich.

All of it.

If the government and firms are not on good terms...
