The Banker (더 뱅커)

Did you say you want to audit the President's Office?

Yes.

I'd like to put in a request to have employees...

temporarily transferred to the Audit Office.

You want me to transfer employees so you could do a sudden audit...

on the President's Office?

Is that what you're asking me?

Yes. I'd appreciate your help.

Mr. Noh.

This is something...

that could put the careers...

of my junior staff and myself in danger.

I'm well aware of that.

I'm asking you for the favor despite that.

It'll be up to you to make the final decision.

What is it...

so early in the morning?

We detected your malpractice and obstruction of business...

related to the branch closures...

and the D1 District.

From this moment,

we'll start a special audit on you, President Kang Sam Do.

Okay.

Did you say, "a special audit"?

Without proper procedures?

If we suspect the one going under the audit might destroy evidence,

then going through the procedures wouldn't make sense.

Right.

Go ahead and investigate.

Please start.

Auditor Noh!

I will make sure you take responsibility for...

what you are doing, Auditor Noh.

And,

the same goes for all of you who set foot in this office!

Don't threaten us!

Those people are just doing...

what they have to do as employees of this bank.

Do you remember what you said when I first came in...

to your office?

You asked me to reform the bank.

I don't...

have any intention...

to stop your reformation. - I'm...

reforming Daehan Bank right now.

However, I'll tell you the steps you should've taken as an auditor.

If there are problems with the management,

you could just speak to the one in charge...

of supporting business management.

What you did today...

made you step...

beyond your powers as an auditor.

Vice President Lee, Auditor Noh...

started a special audit of the President's Office.

He's being taught a lesson...

by the one whom he hired as a hunting dog.

That old man has no eyes for people.

No.

It would be rude to just watch.

We'll now start the signing of the MOU.

We will now take a photograph to commemorate the event.

Please stand facing each other.

Please, look at the camera.

Is everything all right, sir?

Auditor Noh came in and caused a commotion.

I'm also disappointed with Director Im.

How could he let such imprudence pass...

and not report it to you?

I apologize, sir.

It's all right.

No worries.

Oh, my gosh.

Take a look at this. Did you see the messages?

Get on your phone. What's going on?

I heard that Auditor Noh went up against the president.

What? The auditor against the president?

Attack launched! Did he catch them off guard?

Should he be doing that? What if the bank goes down?

Unbelievable!

If the Audit Team is running an audit on him,

then I guess he really is involved in some shady things.

No man is infallible, you know. - Did you see this?

Auditor Noh went up against President Kang!

Auditor Noh wouldn't have done that without a reason.

I trust him.

Let's see...

Hello, Vice President Lee.

I never imagined you'd barge into the President's Office like that.

You really surpassed my expectations, Auditor Noh.

I was just doing my duty.

There aren't a lot who live up to their duties.

I admire you.

It's only the beginning.

As the vice president,

I'll make sure to give the Audit Office my full support.

What are you planning to do from now on?

I'll devote myself to the audit, of course.

Has someone got your back?

No, ma'am.

Then get ahold of yourself!

What do you think you're doing?

A director should know better than to let others...

push them around.

You're in the place to supervise the workers, so they don't get agitated.

How could you take the lead? Are you out of your mind?

I was only supporting a transparent audit.

That is my duty.

What if they don't find any evidence?

What are you going to do then?

Are you going to go on about your "duty" then, too?

How are you going to take the responsibility...

for shaking up the foundation of Daehan Bank?

What is wrong with everyone?

Are they acting like this...

because they all have someone at their backs?

Please put me through with the Busan Data Center.

They are getting advice from an expert.

The president of Myungsung Bank will...

The copy of the logo file...

made by Mr. Moon is still at the Busan Data Center.

They must have handed the computer data over to the Audit Office.

I guess so.

He did come for the audit, too.

It's my fault for trusting Secretary Kim and not checking twice, sir.

I apologize.

I think the Audit Office has got ahold of...

some crucial evidence.

To prove the relevance between the D1 plan and the branch shutdowns...

They won't be able to...

prove anything.

Make sure the employees don't get agitated.

Yes, sir.

Anyway, why did you change your mind, Mr. Moon?

What did these two do to you?

It didn't take much, sir.

I took a few blows...

And I threw a tantrum, crying...

Come on!

Hey, let go...

Stop!

Do you call that happiness...

when you're putting a roof over your family on your conscience?

Isn't family all about... - Mi Ho...

sticking together during hard times?

Come on...

I didn't think you'd really enforce an audit on the president.

Do you think this is funny?

I think it's pitiful.

Then why did you make a pitiful situation?

Just get to the point.

You've made many lives difficult.

The Inspection Department... Not to mention the Audit Office!

Mr. Moon was even a scholarship holder of the bank.

How are you going to deal with that?

Mr. Seo, too. And how about Ms. Jang?

You could be ruining the lives of some young bankers.

It could be a turning point for them.

I'm going to try my best to make it that way, too.

I heard you've been seeing Assemblyman Jung and Mr. Park?

Vice President Han, what do you think...

President Kang is going against them.

What?

Assemblyman Jung and Mr. Park are the ones...

who are shaking up Daehan Bank.

Assemblyman Jung is especially meticulous.

If President Kang is to be ousted,

someone acquainted to Mr. Jung will most likely take over the bank.

Don't you understand?

You have to stop the attacks on President Kang.

Are you saying that...

saving President Kang is the only way to save the bank?

Vice President Han.

He is the root of all evil in this bank.

No, he's not.

Vice President Yook is at the end of everything you're trying to expose.

To be more accurate,

it's Vice President Yook, who yearned to be the president,

and Assemblyman Jung, who wanted Daehan Bank in his hands.

Mr. Bae of the Seomin Policy Institute told me everything.

Actually, I think you're the one...

who's being fooled by Vice President Lee, who has his eyes...

on being the president.

Is that what Vice President Han said?

Yes, she seemed to be certain of it.

We're sure of the relationship between Mr. Jung and Mr. Yook,

but...

to say that he's the one behind all this is nonsense.

I think so, too.

We tend to only turn our attention to those...

we want to hear and see.

Same goes for Vice President Han.

No matter what you tell her, there's no way she will listen.

So don't mind her.

Anyhow,

if Mr. Bae and Vice President Han met up,

I'm more curious about who reached out first...

and what they discussed.

It must be Director Im.

Come in.

Vice President Han is pressuring him these days.
