Money Game (Meonigeim / 머니게임)

What?

If we shut down...

all the branches...

in the States,

Jungin Bank will no longer be worth buying.

Those US branches are what you've been after, correct?

Mr. Heo?

We'll shut down the branches...

and take our time to look for another bank.

Mr. Heo...

Which scenario would be better?

The choice is yours.

You must be mistaken.

The government...

doesn't exercise influence...

over a private enterprise.

Then...

Mr. Won. - Yes?

The labor union that was a pain in the neck.

And all the insolvent companies.

I got my hands dirty and took care of all that for you.

That's how this bank became so valuable.

Mr. Heo.

Mr. Won, the decision is yours, but this is a Korean bank.

The customers are the citizens of Korea.

I hope you keep that in mind.

Why do you care what he thinks?

Eugene Han.

May I make a proposal?

Why don't you move up...

the point of sale?

If you do that,

we're willing to take a step back...

so that the price can be modified to a reasonable amount.

Are you saying we can discuss the price to our advantage?

Of course.

Mr. Heo,

if we take in Woojin Shipbuilding like you asked,

then that counts as us doing our deed...

in terms of public service.

The economic authorities of Korea...

promises and guarantees...

the free will of private entities.

Isn't that right, Mr. Heo?

No, wait.

Hold on. What brings you here?

I'm Director Chae Yi Hun of the International Finance Bureau.

I'm here to meet the Speaker of National Assembly.

Do you have an appointment? - It's urgent business.

He hasn't come in yet...

and demanding a meeting like this is unheard of.

But there's a reason for that.

He must know something regarding the standing committee.

He's second-in-command within the National Assembly.

Consider it the same...

as not being able to meet the president regarding every matter.

What I must say is bigger than any of that.

Please leave. You can wait outside.

Then his secretary... - He's not in either.

Please leave. - I'll wait here.

Just get out of here!

That must be him.

Over here.

What's going on?

Don't know. We were given orders to wait here.

Mr. Heo is a man of pride,

but he still suggested we work off the professor's research.

Didn't you notice that he never mentioned the professor by his name?

He'd never cough up to whose idea this was.

Still, what my father suggested will only stay between the four of us.

All right?

Yi Hun went in all by himself?

Yes.

Unbelievable.

I thought he knew better than this.

He barely slept last night either.

Shouldn't you go to Sejong? The standing committee is over.

How can I at a time like this?

I slept at a nearby hotel.

How did you know?

How did you know...

that this Tobin tax is based off Professor Chae's research?

How did you know that?

Then what? If the speaker approves,

are we to enter and give a presentation?

Is that why he asked us here?

You've got to be kidding me!

Yi Hun, please.

I'm Director Chae Yi Hun of the IFB.

The Korean Tobin tax...

was disregarded by the Strategy and Finance Committee...

for unknown reasons.

Could it be taken straight up to the plenary session?

Tobin tax? - It was taken to the committee,

but the members are...

If this bill doesn't pass,

approximately four billion dollars.

I could summarize... - Sir.

Your presence is requested. - Hold on.

I understand what you're saying. However,

there's a limit to what I can take directly to the plenary session.

I'm well aware of the procedure, but this is of urgent matter.

But we're not in the middle...

of a natural disaster, a war,

or something along those lines. - But sir...

I could perhaps discuss it with a floor negotiation group...

You won't have time, sir.

I understand your urgency,

but that's the proper procedure.

Sir, like I said, I'm well aware of the procedure.

This is just of urgent matter.

It's the only way, sir.

Let him through. - Sir.

Sir, please wait.

That's enough.

Sir! - Enough.

Please take this directly to the plenary session.

Sir!

Sir!

Sir, please.

Korea's Jaeyoung Bank made the decision...

to purchase Jungin Bank today.

Jungin Bank suffered from a severe financial deficit...

and was sold to Bahama, but it's being sold once again...

to Jaeyoung Bank within the year.

Jaeyoung Bank was having difficulties...

due to its lack of ties and operations abroad.

However, this recent purchase will help them expand overseas...

Yes? - This is Eugene Han.

Right. I was practicing my swing.

You must've been playing golf for a while.

I noticed that your golf bag was a bit ragged.

I'll send you a new one.

Anyway, thank you for saving us.

I won't forget what you did.

Gosh, there's no need for that.

My assistant did all the work, not me.

I wanted to support you out of the respect I have,

and I couldn't be happier to finally do that.

Thank you.

I promise to do good as a politician.

Sure. Take care then.

Yes, be a good politician or whatever.

It says that Jaeyoung Bank purchased Jungin Bank.

We're doomed.

Wait. What about Director Chae? Does he know?

He probably doesn't, right?

There he comes.

It looks like he knows.

All right. You probably haven't eaten yet.

It's early, but we should grab some lunch.

Yi Hun, Jungin Bank... - Be at the seolleongtang place.

I'll be right there after washing up.

As if we'd be able to stomach a meal.

Well, they sell soju too.

So much for this good weather.

Let's go then.

You should head there first. I'll wait for Director Chae.

Come on.

Mr. Heo.

If Daeryuk Group sets its semiconductor factories...

in Geoje Island...

It won't turn any heads at the Blue House because of this ordeal though.

Those of the Strategy and Finance Committee...

purposely boycotted the meeting.

I'm sure there was a reason for that.

A reason?

You once said...

that you enjoyed hunting.

Do you still do it sometimes?

Sorry?

Hey.

Were you waiting for me?

Why didn't you go with the others?

Let's go then.

Are you okay?

I am not okay.

But you tried your best.

The result is the same as if I didn't try my best.

Does that still count?

I won't forget.

Let's go eat.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Yes, I'd like to have some wine, please.

What kind of wine would you like, sir?

Nothing too dry.

Maybe something sparkling.

I have some champagne ready for you.

Thank you.

Sir. - Thank you.

That rat.

I am so crazy.

Here's your soju.

Stop. I told you, you'll get an infection.

Darn it.

Stop. No.

A fever is more dangerous than a wild lion.

Go see a doctor tomorrow.

Chief Jo, just one drink.
