I know you're not fond of me...
after what happened with the shareholder's meeting.
I wasn't.
But as you can see...
(Chairman Lee Sung Ju)
So why did you call me?
I like capable people.
I thought I'd tell you an entertaining story.
In order to get revenge on Han Je Kyun,
you must want to stay at Taeil Accounting.
The deceased President Jang In Ho of Haebit Construction...
must have been like a father to you.
Then what about this?
What if Han Je Kyun also killed your real parents?
What kind of nonsense is that?
I told you.
I like entertaining stories.
This is how your real parents died.
What are you playing at?
I don't even know about my parents.
How do you know about them?
("Collapse on Sang Ah Construction's Construction Site in Hyunbaek Area")
("Safety Supervisor and Wife Dies, Various Safety Rules Violated")
I'm sure...
a completely fine building...
didn't collapse for no reason.
(Hyunbaek District Profit Analysis, Sang Ah Construction)
A second set of books?
He covered up their embezzlement of construction costs...
to hide their poor construction work.
Han Je Kyun really did have his hands in everything.
I don't think 3m² can hold up even 300kg.
We are now seeing cracks here and there.
(Sang Ah Construction)
Excuse me!
Can't you hear me?
I was thinking for a moment.
Thinking about what? What were you thinking about?
If you keep wasting time, this building will collapse.
I told you many times that we must make reinforcements!
I know Director Lee Chan Ju sold some of the materials.
You made the second set of books to cover up for him.
He ordered for poor construction to embezzle construction costs.
You decided to work for a guy like that.
Are you playing with people's lives?
I'm going to reveal everything at tomorrow's press conference,
just so you know.
(Safety equipment must be worn on site.)
Why isn't Dad coming out?
Ho Woo. One second.
Honey.
Hi. Where's Ho Woo?
He's outside.
Oh, my!
("Collapse on Sang Ah Construction's Construction Site in Hyunbaek Area")
("Safety Supervisor and Wife Dies, Various Safety Rules Violated")
Your parents' bodies. I wonder...
what mountain they're buried in.
That's not my business.
That's right.
Go.
Go and bite.
Hello, sir.
Please get on the next one.
Yes, sir.
("Collapse on Sang Ah Construction's Construction Site in Hyunbaek Area")
Did you need something?
("Collapse on Sang Ah Construction's Construction Site in Hyunbaek Area")
What is this?
The people you killed...
20 years ago.
It's written right here.
It was due to poor construction.
What?
Are you sure I killed these people?
You covered up Sang Ah Construction's poor construction...
and their embezzlement of construction costs.
That's why it collapsed.
Isn't it because of your father,
who failed to properly monitor the safety of the building,
even though he was being compensated fairly to do so?
What nonsense...
If so,
how will you explain the second set of books?
Mr. Jang.
Aren't you an accountant?
Yes?
From what you just said,
is there even one piece...
of objective evidence you collected yourself,
instead of things you just heard or made assumptions about?
The confirmation letter from the construction supervisor...
that says the construction was done according to the blueprint.
An unqualified opinion that states all payments...
were made properly with the appropriate support.
Didn't you check those things?
You call yourself an accountant,
but you come in here with no fear and no plan...
with documents you can't provide evidence for.
Do you think assessment and identification...
of material misstatements is only needed in times like this?
What are you showing me right now?
Not even uneducated commoners...
would do something like this.
You don't even know your place. How foolishly brave of you.
I'll assume that you'll be ready...
to pay for your rudeness.
Get out.
Dad.
Let's talk.
Later. I have a morning meeting.
Why did you buy the online loan company?
I said that was suspicious and that you shouldn't buy it.
Actually, Dad, VP Han Je Kyun...
Yeon A.
From our analysis,
the online loan company...
seems to be doing quite well.
(Peer-to-peer online loan company inspection report)
As I told you before,
we came to the conclusion...
that Jisan Bank did not need this.
You want to be the only one getting in on the fun?
Should I take the opportunity...
to order Ms. Jin...
to look into how her father...
kept his position as president of Jisan Bank?
VP Han Je Kyun.
So...
stop making things complicated.
I ask for your cooperation.
Something like that won't bring Jisan Bank down.
Don't worry.
Dad.
Ms. Jin.
What happened?
Did Jisan Bank really acquire the online loan company?
Yes.
Didn't you tell President Jin that the company was problematic?
I definitely did.
Why isn't Han Seung Jo answering his phone at this time?
You're not going to work?
Are you going to hand in a resignation letter?
I was planning to quit a while ago.
Did you already do it?
Seok Min.
You shouldn't be emotional right now.
Making a wise decision is the right thing to do.
I'll do some thinking before I go back. Wait a little.
Right now, Ms. Jin Yeon A is...
worried sick about the Jisan Bank case.
A bank doesn't go down right away for acquiring an insolvent company.
Tell her not to worry too much.
Hey!
My gosh.
Hey.
Aren't you going to apologize?
- Hey. - Don't.
I told you to apologize, you punk.
- What's wrong with this guy's eyes? - Hey, stop.
- Apologize to me. - Hey, let it go.
Apologize, you punk!
- Let go of me. - I told you to stop.
I'm going to teach this punk a lesson today.
Hey, aren't you going to apologize?
Apologize...
- Hey, my hair! - Stop it!
- Darn it. - Hey, go. Sorry.
- Hey. - No, don't...
- Hey! - Stop.
Hey!
- Stop it! - I'm sorry!
Let go!
- Let me go! - This punk is hitting me!
Let go, jerk!
Aren't you going to tell us?
You need to tell us what happened...
so that we can go and beat a guy up with you...
or kill you.
We need to know to decide on what to do!
Hey, Jang Ho Woo.
Are you really not going to tell us?
- Hey! - Hey, come on.
- Come here. - Let go! Seriously.
Don't make things worse.
Do you have a death wish?
What time is it?
Did you perhaps not sleep at all?
About Jisan Bank...
It's VP Han Je Kyun who did this, not anyone else.
I think it's only right for me to deal with this myself.
Did I say anything?
For now,
please figure out the total debts of the online loan company...
and the expected losses based on each loan due date.
Okay.
And ask Ms. Jin to check...
if Jisan Bank has plans to increase their capital.
And ask for their shareholders' dividend payment schedule too.
Also...
I'll see if a subordinated debt issuance is possible.
Nothing is faster than that.
Thanks, Hyun.
No need to thank me.
By the way, how long will you be away from the office?
I'll call you again.
Hello?
(Pride Diner)
- Hello. - Welcome.
Have a seat wherever you like.
- Gosh. - What should we eat?
Gosh, I don't have much of an appetite.
We don't even have time.
Let's just eat whatever.
I wonder what good it is to miss mealtime and work so hard.
If your head is in a mess,
how does a refreshing pot of pollack soup sound?
You can munch on some pollack heads and talk smack about others too.
Pollack soup sounds good.
And some soda that tastes like soju too.
You became accountants after studying so hard.
What should you be afraid of?
Everyone talks behind other people's backs, even the king of a country.
These days, accountants have the lifespan of a mayfly.
I wonder why we even studied so hard.
One of your company's accountants died.
Why is it so quiet? Gosh.
You bragged so much to us that you got into Taeil.
Taeil sure is different.
Who would stop Han Je Kyun?
Besides, there are rumours that it was arson, not just a fire.
I heard it was a hit.
Han Je Kyun would be capable of doing something like that.
If Taeil did this,
doesn't that mean it could happen anywhere else too?
Are you really going to be mean and not tell me?
Yes.
Unbelievable.
Are you trying to get your own way because you're sick?
You're being so stubborn about coming to work in your state.
Be quiet.
This is all for you.
What is?
What are you trying to hide for my sake...
that you look like a nervous wreck?
You're anxious one minute and spacing out the next.
You've been like this for days!
Can you keep a secret?
Ho Woo?
VP Han Je Kyun did that?
We should get ready too.
Hye Won.
I have a plan.
Okay.
I trust you,
whatever it is.
Ms. Jin.
Do you want some coffee too?
Oh, sure.
So, by any chance,
have either of you seen Mr. Jang?
I'm not sure. I don't think I've seen him today.
Please leave a message after the tone.
It's Grandma. I'm waiting.
What am I supposed to press?
(Ms. Cheon Ja)
I should do my part.
Director Sim isn't here now.
Seung Jo called me a little while ago.
He says he needs something that won't be swayed by the tabloids.
But wouldn't Jisan Bank be prepared for that much as well?
It makes no sense that they bought it in the first place.
And we don't know what else VP Han might do.
I've been looking into the other companies...
that VP Han takes special care of.
What do you mean he takes special care of some companies?
I thought about things after what I went through.
It felt strange, no matter how I looked at it.
I mean, even if VP Han is capable and has many people on his side,
how can he raise so much funds...
or influence the situation however he wants?
It doesn't make sense.
Well, it could be different depending on how you look at it.
I'm sure there is something.
Things are happening where we can't see them.
I know that...
I won't be able to see this world someday,
but I wish my daughter...
and Director Sim's son can live in a safe world.
You're such a reliable dad.
Let's drink.
Thank you.
By the way,
what brings you all the way here?
I thought I'd get some fresh air, so I dropped in.
Yes, did you check the file that I sent you?
Oh, I see.
Then please check once more tomorrow.

As you instructed, we are spreading the tabloid rumours...
regarding Jisan Bank using every route possible.
Set aside a few provocative ones...
that might grab the public's attention.
Let's have those broadcasted on TV economy programs.
I will discuss it with the Taeil Foundation alums in the press...
and take care of it right away.
The more anxious people are,
the more they talk.
If we keep talking about it...
and keep hearing about it,
Jisan Bank will become an untrustworthy bank,
regardless of the facts.
If people can't trust the bank...
Mr. Woo Sang Hyun.
What do you think you would do first?
This place is still the same.
How much longer will you stay here like this?
This article will be published tomorrow.
(The Ticking Time Bomb, Jisan Bank)
(Is This the Beginning of the 2nd IMF Crisis?)
VP Han Je Kyun trying to take over Jisan Bank...
is completely different from swallowing up...
one company.
Something like Haebit Construction could happen again.
Ji Soo.
I'm so sorry.
It must have been tough.
It must've been tough...
living as his son.
Things are tough for both of us,
so stop saying sorry.
Do you remember saying...
that you'll defeat your father...
if I waited just a little?
Yes.
I can't wait for long.
The warning signals have been turned on...
for the integrity of Jisan Bank's assets.
There are concerns...
- on Jisan Bank's... - Hi. Jisan Bank. Yes.
- delinquency rate on loans. - Yes. They're going bankrupt.
Jisan Bank is having issues regarding moral laxity...
- and moral hazard. - Look. What is that?
Jisan Bank has announced...
they will stop giving secured personal loans.
Experts are voicing concerns and criticisms...
that Jisan Bank's management is forcing regular consumers...
to share the burden of their operational failures.
("Jisan Bank's Moral Hazard, Halting of Personal Loans Imminent")
Thankfully, even in the worst-case scenario,
Jisan Bank will be able to handle...
the damages done by the online loan company.
Things are blowing up...
on social media, especially on internet forums.
People who have instalment savings accounts are worried...
they'll lose their savings if Jisan Bank goes bankrupt.
They're worried they'll lose...
their savings for weddings and retirement.
That's because Jisan Bank is the largest commercial bank...
that ordinary people use.
It's natural that one article like this...
can make them sensitive and nervous.
That's right.
For most people, their savings balance...
and their house are all they have.
My friends from school have been calling me every day.
They have a mortgage-backed loan from Jisan Bank,
and they're worried something will happen to their house...
if something were to happen to Jisan Bank.
My friends investing in stocks called me.
They said they saw the news on the tabloids...
and asked whether I had good information as an accountant.
Why do people make and distribute tabloids...
when they won't even take responsibility for anything?
Is it fun for them to make a fool out of a bank?
Of course it is.
It gives them a lot to bite off and chew up.
At least one of them is here.
Are you planning to quit?
You go as much as you want. It fits you.
Do you have time to flounder around like this?
Didn't you become an accountant and get all the way here...
to get revenge?
But now what?
You couldn't even control your personal emotions...
and got into a fight like some kid.
What do you think you can do acting like this?
"Like this?"
My real parents, who I didn't get to be with for most of my life,
did because of that person.
Without knowing that, I ran away to save only myself.
What those nightmares I had every day meant.
Who they were caused by.
I finally found out.
"Like this?"
You said so before.
Even if you can't change the world,
you won't let the person who made you this way live in peace.
But do you think that'll be possible...
in the state you're in right now?
Forget about your feelings and face reality.

- Excuse me. - I need to speak to someone.
How long do we need to wait?
Give me my money now.
I want my money.
What about the other branches?
Please let me in.
I've been waiting for hours now.
Stop telling me to wait.
Excuse me, ma'am.
I don't know what you may have heard,
but Jisan Bank has no problems.
What they're saying online are just baseless rumours.
Please trust Jisan Bank...
These are my retirement funds.
Are you going to pay if I trust you and lose my money?
Gosh. Please let me withdraw my money quickly!
Quickly!
- Gosh. This is frustrating. - Right.
- Let me withdraw my money. - Please wait a moment.
Gosh. Hurry.
- Let me in now. - Please wait a moment.
A lot of individual customers withdrew their money,
but Jisan Bank is okay, right?
The risk lies with corporate customers.
They have high balances, and if there's a payment suspension,
it'll stop their operations too, so they'll be sensitive.
Who knew so many people would trust what they see on the internet?
Rumours on the internet become news articles.
Those then turn back into rumours.
It must be hard to know what is fact and what is a rumour.
What can we do to take away people's concerns?
(Ji Soo)
(This is my gift to you for your return. Tomorrow morning's news.)
This is my gift to you for your return. Tomorrow morning's news.
One second.
According to an intelligence official,
Jisan Bank was evaluated as having safe and satisfactory ratings...
on every indicator of a bank's integrity.
They assessed that Jisan Bank's non performing loan ratio...
and liquidity ratio were both being maintained at stable levels.
They believe the recent rise in interest rates...
and inflation trends...
- acted as unfavourable factors. - A gift?
Even with profitability taken into account,
- Jisan Bank's capital deficit... - It is a gift.
I enjoyed the news.
Congratulations on selling all commercial slots.
I contacted them, and they said...
the news article was published unexpectedly.
I'll make sure that our tabloids don't go to waste...
Who did this?
The online loan company that Jisan Bank bought.
Let's put it under your company until things quiet down a bit.
No matter how much I think about it,
there is no other option right now.
Parking.
(Parking: Leaving investment funds with a safe entity temporarily...)
There is parking.

Just leaving something troublesome with someone else temporarily...
can give you room to breathe.
I thought we could ease people's anxiety...
by pretending to leave it with someone else shortly.
It'll be hard to liquidate debts right away, but we can do that.
Oh, my. You really worked your brain for this.
(Debt liquidation: A process by which financial institutions...)

This isn't nearly enough.

Will that be enough?
I'll be okay with it.
Mr. Jang?
Have you been well?
Are you okay now?
I should be.
What made you decide to come back?
Everything I want...
is right here.
Why did you hug me?
I...
I didn't say you could.
Sorry.
Taking over as chairman must've kept you busy.
I was busy,
but it was fun.
I recently came across another interesting story.
I'll tell you about it when the time is ripe.
Now that you'll be busy enough with your chairman duties,
how about I help you...
sort things out with the children's foundation?
What do you say?
As you know, I have a son...
who's no good at earning but great at spending.
What else can I do...
but make him chair of a foundation?
Right.
It'll be recognized as a non profit foundation,
so he can spend foundation assets without worrying about taxes.
A children's foundation...
would also be great for the group's image.
Well, every large company has a foundation or two.
However,
you must still...
do some good.
You can do what you want.
I'll sort out your time report for you.
While you prepare to fight Han Je Kyun,
I'll be your alibi.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
(I'm so sorry.)
(Are you okay? Are you hurt?)
Good.
Mr. Jang.
You come back after being AWOL for two weeks and say what?
Who?
The head of Taeil Accounting, the chairman.
I realized that Han Je Kyun's a VP.
The chairman who is above VP Han Je Kyun...
Mr. Jang.
I get that you're brave and feisty,
but the chairman...
isn't someone a new recruit can meet because they want to.
Then...
I must make the chairman come to me.
(Make a post)
Mr. Jang.
The fool who killed your parents is doing too well.
You forgave him already?
Did you?
What do you want from me?
Why did you tell me what Han Je Kyun did to my parents?
You're angry with the wrong person.
You should vent...
at the person who hid what he did, not at the informer.
I believe you owe Han Je Kyun for helping you...
replace your brother as chairman.
I owe him?
Unbelievable.
He made me take a long detour.
It would've been done long ago if not for him.
He wasted my precious time.
Why did you want his help, then?
"Help?"
I didn't need his help to replace my brother.
I just wanted to see the man who demoted me...
to a flour plant make me chairman himself.
The thing is,
I still feel a bit angry.
You can leave.
So...
Lee Sung Ju will use Jang Ho Woo...
to get revenge?
How interesting.
I'll help.

These are VP Han Je Kyun's special care companies...
that I found out about while burning the bad inventory.
They're not famous companies whose names are widely known,
but it felt strange that Han Je Kyun was taking special care of them.
(VP Han Je Kyun's Special Care List, 2021 Donations and Sponsor List)
(Trust Corporation, Queens A and D)
(Comes Finance, Nawon Holdings, Titan C and D)
The companies that donate a lot to the children's foundation...
and the companies Han Je Kyun takes special care of are the same?
Companies that only exist on paper...
donated large sums to a children's foundation?
But you saw it too.
That tiny little company...
donating millions of dollars to a children's foundation...
How does that make any sense?
It is strange, but it's not illegal.
If you hadn't suggested that we look into the children's foundation,
we never would've known Han Je Kyun had these paper companies.
Unless you go see them in person, they look perfect on paper.
They make sales...
and pay their taxes on time.
I'm sure they do. It's VP Han's doing.
This isn't just 1 or 2 of them.
For five paper companies to donate such large sums...
on a regular basis,
it must mean they have a lot of money.
But isn't it strange?
What is?
That Han Je Kyun is donating such a large amount of money...
to a children's foundation.

(Building infrastructure in Tanzania)
This is the reason why Han Je Kyun's paper companies...
donated large amounts of money to the children's foundation?
Building this kind of stuff would cost a lot of money, right?
Of course. Building infrastructure costs the most money.
Right.
If you were to really build them.
Then do you mean he's faking it?

the other 99 good people get a bad rap.
With this huge amount of money that he has laundered,
what does Han Je Kyun plan to do?
I must know what Han Je Kyun has, how much those are,
and how he owns them.
It's HK Private Equity's financial materials.
I thought you might see something from an accountant's perspective.
HK Private Equity's corporate governance...
seems a little off.
Sir, you can't change your tune like this so suddenly.
What do you mean, there's no reason to butt heads...

where Sang Ah Group Chairman Lee Sung Ju is the chair.
Everyone is now focused on the first-ever search and seizure...
of a children's foundation.
Reporter Gu Chae Rim is here with the story.
Since its establishment, Nuri Children's Foundation...
has been run with the support of Sang Ah Group...
and donations of citizens.
According to a source that asked to remain anonymous,
Chairman Lee Sung Ju was deeply involved...
not only with the misuse of donations and embezzlement...
but also with the selection of board members and employees.
It is predicted that it will be hard for Chairman Lee...
to avoid taking legal and moral responsibility...
if the malpractice with the foundation...
and various charges of corruption currently under investigation...
are proven to be true.
VP Han.
Okay.
VP Han Je Kyun.
Take a seat and make yourself comfortable before we talk.
I know this will be...
the last conversation between us.
What are you doing?
Do you think I'll go down alone...
if things about the foundation get out?
Using a paper company to make fake donations...
in order to launder money.
That was you.
Is Prosecutor Baek in charge of that case?
He was a star of my scholarship foundation.
He worked very hard,
so I remember him well.
I see.
Are you saying they belong to Taeil Scholarship Foundation?
Do you think...
I'll sit back and do nothing?
Not long ago,
an accountant at Taeil died in a warehouse fire.
Everyone thinks it was an unfortunate accident,
but when I looked into it,
it turned out to be an incident...
related to the creation of a slush fund.
What nonsense are you spewing right now?
You were the one...
The real owner of that warehouse...
is Lee Sung Ju.
Are you insane?
No. You should ask...
yourself that question.
When you provoked Jang Ho Woo...
in an attempt to fight me.
You should have...
looked into the mirror and asked yourself that.
I'm the one that shoved you into that flour factory.
I'm the one that made you a chairman.
So I have to be the one to bring you down.
Don't touch me.
How dare you?
Even when...
I go down,
I'll at least be one obstacle that gets in your way.
Look forward to it.
(Private equity fund doing business in Korea)
It seems a private equity fund is using tabloids...
to control a bank. What should I do?
The fish store owner who left their fish with a cat...
is nowhere to be seen.
Which private equity fund?
They should ask for our country instead.
One bank suddenly comes to mind.
It can't be that one, right?
Are they trying to destroy the country?
How dare they underestimate CPAs?
These people don't know how scary the law is.
I'm journalist Lee So Eun from YTN. Please contact me.
It looks like you called for me.
Seeing as how you posted something like that...
for your company to see.
Sir.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes, for now.
The paper company funds we had in Jisan Bank.
Withdraw it all for now.
Don't even leave a cent.
(Jisan Bank)
President Jin.
- Come out here! - Give me my money!
- Hey! - Get out here!
- Move! - Open the door!
- Goodness. - What is going on?
Let me make a withdrawal!
I've been waiting for hours!
How long do I have to wait?
- I want my money today. - Goodness.
You need to give it to me.
- Goodness. - Come on.
What did you say?
They failed to maintain the BIS ratio?
What will happen to Jisan Bank, then?
(BIS ratio: Higher-risk assets to equity ratio, 8 percent minimum)
Since companies withdrew their funds and went to different banks,
other corporate and individual customers are wanting to do so too.
Ms. Jin.
How much did the BIS ratio fall?
One moment.
(BIS ratio result)
It dropped that much at once?
They need a BIS ratio over eight percent to save the bank.
They're subject to sale now.
Anyone can buy them.
Does that mean...
the bank could really be sold?
It's not true, right?
It started from fake news and tabloids,
so we need to deal with that...
(Urgent, Jisan Bank incurred losses of 500 million dollars.)
(Expected to suspend payments. Please withdraw all funds.)
- Hey! - Let us in!
- Move! - Let me in!
- Give me my money! - Let us in!
- Please let me in! - Move!
The online loan company was just bait...
to instigate people from the start.
The most effective way to make the BIS ratio drop.
Bank run.

Is anyone home?
Hello?
Are you there, Mr. Yoon?
Who is it?
(Numbers)
Han Je Kyun is after Jisan Bank.
Do you think Dad knew?
He worked with VP Han for such a long time.
Let's do what we can.
Are you going to be okay?
He's still your father.
I detected suspicious movement...
among Mr. Han, Jang Ho Woo, and people around them.
If you do this,
it'll cause trouble between us.
I'm basically being fired, right?
I can't leave like this.
No matter how much you try,
Jisan Bank will naturally fall into my hands.
As an accountant of Taeil,
I need to stop that.
