"Have a seat." "Would you like a drink?" "No, that's alright." "You look very tense." "Who are you?" "Explaining who I am right now might prove rather complicated." "For now, the best explanation I can give is that I'm someone who knows a whole lot about you." "What do you want from me?" "I want to help you." "The overseas investment you and the Shinheung Bank want to attract..." "I can provide it." "I don't even know who you are, so why should I believe what you just said?" "I'm the Principal Partner of Lone America." "My name is James Jeong." "I'm the largest investor in Lone Asia and a majority shareholder in the Han Young Bank." "Someone in your position... what reason could you have for making me an offer like that?" "As you already know, Lone America is a hedge fund." "In every situation, the basic aim of a hedge fund is to maximize its gains." "Where you and In Hye are concerned... no matter which of you wins..." "I have to make money." "Hey, are you saying that makes any sense?" "If he is the majority shareholder of LoneAsia, then he's on her side." "Why would he suddenly emerge and offer us help?" "This is definitely something In Hye planned, you mustn't fall for it." "The first thing to do is find out all there is to know about Lone America and this guy James Jeong." "We can delay making a judgment till we've done that." "J.R. Stanley have notified us that they have set up an investment fund for the Han Young Bank." "Then we need to hurry." "Set me up a phantom company in Labuan, Malaysia." "And to avoid our funding channels getting exposed, you'd better create several of them and use them in turn." "Can I ask you about the sources?" "I'll tell you when the time comes." "Just get it ready for me." "Okay." "I'll be going." "Soon, I'll be setting up a phantom company in Labuan, Malaysia." "Make the necessary preparations to have the slush funds paid into that company." "The amount of money that needs to be transferred,I'll tell you that another time." "How long do I have?" "Not long." "Make sure you meet my schedule." "I understand." "I'll get it ready then." "But isn't that likely to be risky?" "There'll definitely be no risk." "Don't worry about that." "They're setting up a phantom company in Labuan, Malaysia." "She told me to get ready to channel the slush funds into them." "She'll be creating the phantom company there because it's a tax haven." "Yes." "Since it's working out just as I planned, we'll need to meet up so I can tell you more of my strategy." "Yoo Sung Joon has approached me again." "I think he's trying to use me to get his hands on the slush funds." "That makes sense." "Left to himself, there's no way he would be able to get a hold of the slush fund, however much he wants to." "What are you going to do?" "I have to get him to bring Yoo Gi Joon in on it, too." "Will that be okay?" "Won't that cause problems down the line?" "If it does, I'll deal with them as they arise." "I have to get both brothers involved." "I need to make them fight with each other." "Okay." "That sounds good." "First, set Seong Joon's mind at rest by explaining how the funds will be channeled." "Making him happy about the scheme first is most important." "I understand." "You asked Kim DoHyun if he wanted to work together, right?" "How did you..?" "Kim DoHyun told me." "Are you crazy?" "After he tricked you like that, you're reaching out to him yet again?" "Heck, you idiot." "You're impossible to work with." "Why are you always shooting your mouth off?" "Hey.. you." "That's not the point!" "I know you're impetuous, but how can you even think of working with that jerk?" "!" "No." "Sung Joon's judgment is correct." "What?" "What do you mean?" "If you're trying to take the money from In Hye, you two alone can't do it." "I was thinking of using Kim Do Hyun too." "No-one's as smart as he is, and no-one else knows In Hye as well as he does." "That's exactly it." "Because of that.." "I had no option but to reach out to him." "Right." "I'm about to explain things, so listen carefully." "In Hye announced... that via an investment company called J.R. Stanley, the Han Young Bank would be receiving a foreign investement worth one billion dollars." "But the claim that it's J.R. Stanley that's making the investment is just a front." "All that J.R. Stanley is doing is providing a channel for transporting the slush funds." "Currently, in Labuan, Malaysia," "In Hye is setting up several phantom companies." "I'm meant to move the slush funds into these phantom companies" "Those companies would then send the money to J.R. Stanley, whereupon J.R. Stanley would invest it in the Han Young Bank." " Are you with me so far?" " Yup." "Yeah..." "Wow... unbelievable.." "But then... how do we divert that money our way?" "A way of doing that is what Kim Do Hyun has come up with." "Now, listen carefully." "The money starts off from these phantom companies, and it's meant to go to J.R. Stanley." "But, right in the middle.." "is where we intervene." "This X is another phantom company J.R.Stanley set up to shelter behind." "And its existence is what allows us to grab the money." "If we have control of this strategic spot, we can grab the slush money as it passes through." "I understand what you're saying.." "But can it really be done?" "I'm her legal advisor," "And you're In Hye's family." "That's why it becomes possible." "Yes." "This is it." "This unbelievable plan." "Wow... as expected, Kim DoHyun... you have to give him credit." "It's not even in our hands yet." "Don't get so excited." "The government is committed to bringing Korean banks into line with global standards." "As part of our current financial reforms, we have decided to invite an overseas credit rating agency to carry out assessments." "To perform these assessments, the credit rating agency SG will spend between one and two weeks according to a published schedule, assessing each commercial bank's credit status." "There will be no interference by the government, so that the impartiality of the findings will be beyond doubt." "The results of this credit rating exercise will outweigh all other factors." "I am saying that very definitively." "So, that is all." "You all saw Han Jin Soo's announcement?" "Yes." "I'm told SG's criteria are quite hard to satisfy." "That could be a problem." "No, it's actually to our advantage." "The more exacting SG's criteria are," "The better it is for us," "What do we have to do to meet the SG criteria?" "SG have changed their criteria recently, so check through everything again to make sure we haven't missed anything." "And if there's anything that might depress our rating, make sure it gets fixed." "YongMin, can you double check it?" "Yes, I understand." "If it's to be SG... aren't those the most difficult criteria to meet?" "Yes, that's right." "Since there are many changes to the list of criteria we need to meet, it has become quite challenging for us." "In my view, Chairman Han jinsoo... probably chose SG to give the Han Young Bank an advantage." "That could well be true." "Either way, the outcome will decide whether you become the initiator or the victim of a takeover." "This is our last chance to win Han Young Bank." "Finding out how the SG criteria have changed is our most urgent priority." "We have to meet those expectations to be in the contest with a chance." "I understand." "This branch doesn't seem to get many customers." "True." "But it handles private banking, so they go to meet clients on their own premises." "They have high revenue figures and excellent customer loyalty." "Using this branch as a model, we need to improve the way we sell investment products across the Bank as a whole." "For the next meeting of branch managers, call the manager of this branch to address them, and work out a training program." "Yes, ma'am." "Based on an analysis of turnover, we've identified the branches that are candidates for closure." "But will closing branches really help improve our rating?" "SG criteria don't merely compare the number of branches." "They use a complex rating system based on turnover and the size of deposits." "We now have to set about evaluating branches using that system identify the branches that would lower our rating, and close them down." "We really must sort this out before the assessors arrive." "Are there any issues in the Shinheung Bank IT systems?" "Our security measures and back-office processing... are a match for those of any other domestic bank." "I'm confident of that." "Sorry I'm late, I had to review a loan." "Have you eaten yet?" "I ate a little." "Why only a little?" "Hurry let's go." "Come and sit down for a moment." "I have a favor to ask you." "What is it?" "The kind of unsecured micro-financing that you do..." "I'm thinking of trying to introduce it at the Shinheung Bank, too." "Is that feasible?" "Ordinary banks always insist on having collateral for their mortgage lending." "It would be a challenge, but if we put our minds to it, it shouldn't prove impossible." "And what the Shinheung Bank needs most of all right now is to restore its lost public credibility." "If this is just about boosting the Bank's image, I'm against it." "If an unsecured microfinancing system is to be on a secure basis, our criteria for selecting borrowers are of the essence, and in the current banking system they just wouldn't work." "It's not profit-generating, and charity isn't part of the business mindset." "So do you still think it's feasible?" "I get what you're saying." "But I won't do anything just for the sake of show." "So how about it?" "So how do you think I could be of help?" "I'd like you to start by meeting the Shinheung Bank task force, and share with them your experiences with the Woo Geum Ji Foundation." "What worked and what didn't." "Just things like that." "Alright, I'll give it a shot." "This is Lee JungYeon, who's in charge of unsecured microfinancing at the Puris Bank." "My name is Lee Jong Do." "And these are Shinheung Bank executives." "I'm Kim Min Suk." "Delighted to meet you." "I expect you all know that unsecured microfinancing began in Bangladesh with the Grameen Bank." "At first it was a huge success, but in the course of time, problems started to emerge." "Through various failings, an institution meant to benefit the poor threatened to degenerate into grasping moneylending." "You will see when you take a look at the material I have prepared." "Were you able to get some more information on Lone America and James Jeong?" "Yeah." "I got some info from an old High School buddy of mine who's now a partner in a Wall Street firm, but it only makes things look even more suspicious." "What do you mean by that?" "It's hard to get at the facts, but rumor has it that his hedge fund is pretty shady." "What rumors are those?" "His backers are in Dallas... oil tycoons." "And there are further rumors that arms dealers are involved." "Pretty murky stuff, eh?" "But there are worse still rumors about him." "He was involved in Ponzi schemes in his younger days and even spent a time in jail." "Anyways, I can't understand why Yoo InHye is working with him." "I said it before, but I don't think we should work with him." "I didn't mention this earlier, but I've seen you on a previous occasion." "When, as part of the training Yoo In Hye was giving you, you came to Wall Street," "I once saw you from a distance." "During that period, all the reports about you were sent for me to peruse." "Then I guess you know a whole lot about me." "To be honest, I can't say I do." "Skillful players such as you always keep their cards close to their chest." "But better late than never, so I'd like to get to know you better now." "With closer knowledge of each other, I'm sure we'd be able to pool our strengths." "What do you think?" "Will you accept my offer to invest in the Shinheung Bank?" "No, I intend to refuse it." "You see... your motives for wanting to invest in the Shinheung Bank..." "I simply can't understand them." "It seems you're not able to trust my intentions yet." "If that's what you think, there's not much I can do." "But mark my words..." "Without a doubt... a time will come when you need me." "a time when you'll have no choice but to turn to me." "Hello." "Oh Miran." "What?" "You'll soon be able to get that business funding you needed." "And when TS Mall's affairs are settled, you'll get a direct stock allocation." "Really?" "!" "Thank you!" "It's me." "Where are you?" "Let's meet right now." "I secured the funding for our business plan." "No, I'll come over your way." "Miran.." "Yes?" "Is that Kim Do Chul?" "Yes." "Don't meet him from now on." "Why?" "You should know that without me needing to tell you." "You shouldn't be friends with someone from his background." "I don't care about stuff like that." "If you continue to meet him, he will be in a dangerous situation." "Was that a threat?" "What right have you to say something like that?" "My choice of friends is none of your business." "Did you just hit me?" "!" "How dare you do that?" "What in the" "Just who do you think you are?" "What happened?" "What did you just do?" "She was impudent to me so I got a bit mad." "Even so..." "Actually slapping the girl in the face is a bit..." "Just look at him." "Even he sometimes loses it altogether." "Anyone watching would get the impression you were one of the family." "I thought of myself as your brother and treated you accordingly." "Can't you two treat me the same?" "So just what am I then?" "Am I your slave, or what?" "Come on, hyungnim." "Slave?" "We were just kidding!" "Man, you're strangely over-sensitive today." "So, that phantom company JR Stanley are setting up..." "The plan get our hooks into it... how's that coming along?" "Are there any issues?" "It's almost done." "Just wait a little longer." "Was that a threat?" "What right have you to say that?" "My choice of friends is none of your business!" "Even so... actually slapping the girl in the face is a bit..." "Just look at him." "Even he sometimes loses it altogether." "Anybody watching would think you were one of the family." "Hey, you know how hard we searched for Lawyer Choi's property, but couldn't find anything?" "It was all hidden with that woman Kang In Sook." "It's got to be worth a few million dollars." "Strange thing is, even with all that, Attorney Choi's woman is running a travel agency by herself." "So I looked into it, and the scale of the business is pretty small." "What could be going on here, Do Hyun?" "The agency could be acting as a channel for Atty." "Choi to siphon off money from the slush fund." "Siphon off money?" "A man recently convicted of a political scandal ran a travel agency." "Ah, yes, that guy with all those friends in high places..." "You're right..." "He was a travel agent, wasn't he?" "There was a rumor that agency was a front for operating tycoons' slush funds..." "But we can't act on mere suspicions." "We need some hard evidence." "Alright, I'll dig a little more." "We need to look in every nook and cranny of Kang In Sook's travel agency... looking for some weakness that will give us a hold over Choi Guk Hwan." "Oh come on now!" "What could possibly emerge from a travel agency's nooks and crannies?" "ManSoo!" "Just do like I tell you and stop arguing." "Mansoo, you and Jaebok trail Kang Insook and see if you can come up with something." "And you, Do-chul..." "Why don't you try making it with an employee at the travel agency?" "You know you're a true player at that." "Hey, you're embarrassing me..." "A player indeed..." "What about me?" "You..have something separate to prepare with me." "This is just like Mission Impossible!" "Crazy bastard.." "Yes, Hyungnim." "At the same time each day, she leaves the travel agency." "Yeah." "No, no." "She doesn't go directly home." "She stops by a health club at a hotel or a salon and then heads home." "Hyungnim, last night, Attorney Choi spent the night at her apartment." "Alrighty dighty!" "Just leave it with us!" "Yes, yes." "Haaa, this is fun!" "Hello!" "It's a bit far, but nowadays a whole lot of people go to the Maldives or New Caledonia." "New brides really love it." "But I'm going alone." "Oh.. alone.." "Why?" "..." "I can't go alone?" "Oh, you can..." "It's just that so many people go there on honeymoon nowadays." "Right, I see..." "So... would you like to come with me?" "Excuse me?" "Where... do you plan to go?" "Wow.." "I mean, Do Chul is such an oddball, and he's nothing special to look at, but he sure has the knack of attracting women." "He inherited that from his father." "Can his father charm women like that, too?" "That's what I just can't figure out." "If you think about it, Do Chul and his father's looks... they aren't much different than mine." "But women go crazy over them." "I don't get it, I really don't." "If you looked in the mirror, you might get a clue..." "Do you really not know?" "Do you have eyesight problems?" "Hey you!" "Try looking in the mirror yourself." "Geeze.." "I don't think you're in any position to say that." "Here, have some from my cup..." "Would you believe that?" "Those dainty cheeks..." "It's exactly half of mine!" "Ma'am, you have a visitor." "Who?" "He says his name is Kim Tae Sung..." "That name doesn't mean anything to me..." "He says he knows you very well." "Send him in." "Yes, ma'am." "How do you do?" "Ah, yes..." "Last time we met, you were with Attorney Choi." "What can I do for you?" "Well..." "I'm here on business, in a manner of speaking." "It was actually Attorney Choi who suggested I come see you." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "What is this?" "!" "What's this nonsense!" "Fetch the boss out here right away!" "What kind of ruffian is that, I wonder?" "Excuse me for a moment." "Yes." "Hey!" "It's me.. what do I do?" "Look, you've got to stay calm." "Do exactly as I tell you." "Is the computer on?" "Uh?" "..." "Yes!" "it's on!" "Then, the thing I gave you.. plug it in." "Got it." "Hey hey, wait a second." "Hey!" "Listen kid!" "There's four sockets!" "Got it." "What sort of a way is this to run a business?" "What's going on?" "Are you the boss here?" "So you're the boss, are you, lady?" "Yes, but what--?" "So what do you propose to do about this?" "Oh!" "~ my stomach!" "Please stop this." "Let's go into my office and talk." "Into your office?" "!" "What do mean?" "!" "?" "!" "Do you think we come and go places on your orders?" "Look at this!" "I dragged all this stuff from our house!" "And what happened when we got there?" "Why did I lug all this to Hawaii when we couldn't even go out anywhere?" "My stomach!" "Oh my goodness!" "Hey.. why is this taking so long?" "!" "It'll be done soon!" "This is driving me crazy." "Okay, I got it." "You said to come over around seven..." "Do you know what time it is now?" "Sorry." "I've been preparing for the assessors' visit and I lost track of time." "In here are my suggestions for the planned training program for Shinheung executives." "Wow, You've worked hard." "I'm really thankful." "Is that the only thanks I get?" "What else?" "You don't even knock.." "What?" "Should I get you a hotel room?" "What is it?" "Father said you would know what it is once I gave it to you." "Okay." "Well.." "I'll leave then." "Okay, get going." "But.. what is this?" "This?" "This is something that will reveal evidence about the Yoo family slush fund." "The assessors have arrived." "As soon as they release the schedule for the assessment visits, let me see it right away." "Make sure there are no flaws in our preparations." "I understand." "SG Ratings Agency Assessors' Press Conference" "The assessment schedule has been released." "Where are we in the sequence?" "They will be assessing us, along with the Han Young Bank, for three days, starting tomorrow." "So they've put us right at the start of the schedule." "There must be no problems whatever on the day." "Make absolutely sure there aren't." "Yes, sir." "Nice to meet you." "The briefing for the operation systems will be held in the conference room upstairs." "Okay, after the briefing, I would like to take a look at the business operation." "Will that be possible?" "Of course, anything you need just let me know." "This way please." "How did it go?" "Everything's ready." "Once the assessors are at the Shinheung Bank, set things going." "I understand." "A computer system problem has come to light at a Shinheung Bank branch." "If a system problem adversely effects our evaluation, that's really bad news." "We need to find out right away what the problem is." "Let's go." "What is this!" "?" "Sorry!" "We'll try to figure it out as soon as possible." "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "How long will it take to get things working again?" "We can't say exactly at this moment." "For now, use the customer service desks to handle deposits and withdrawals manually." "I'm afraid our back office system is down as well." "Right when all the assessors were there!" "What a time to have a system failure!" "For goodness sake!" "Just exactly how prepared were you?" "Sorry!" "It was an error we'd never anticipated and it's taking some time to recover." "It's even in the media!" "We've been completely humiliated in front of the assessors!" "We're truly sorry." "This is certain to have a damaging effect on our evaluation." "What a mess..." "If this was going to happen, what was the point of worrying about the assessment schedule?" "Anyways," "I feel guilty towards you." "You made such excellent preparations, then along comes this system failure and causes a fiasco." "Hurry and find out what the system error was." "Okay." "And you can definitely confirm that the assessors witnessed the failure as it happened?" "Fine." "Excellent job." "Don't leave any loose ends and cover your tracks carefully." "The system failure occurred just when the assessors were visiting a branch of the Shinheung Bank." "Currently, the systems have been restored back to normal." "I understand." "So what do we do now?" "Surely this makes all our efforts pointless?" "The quality of our IT systems was our biggest plus point." "So isn't a failure there going to weigh very heavily against us?" "Did you find the system problem?" "Someone apparently hacked into our central server and injected malicious code." "So if it was an outside intruder, doesn't that mean it was sabotage?" "That means the Han Young Bank must be behind it, surely?" "Right now, we're trying to track down the culprit by finding the IP address." "We'll report it to the Cyber Crime Investigators." "Oughtn't we to tell the Assessors that the failure was due to an outside intrusion?" "That would expose a weakness in our security." "Even if the failure was due to sabotage, there's no way we can reveal that to the Assessors." "Hell, this is a total disaster!" "I feel really ashamed this has happened." "This isn't over yet." "Don't be upset." "It's Kim DoHyun." "I would like to see you now, please." "I knew you'd be getting back to me." "Have you changed your mind?" "Before I answer that, there's one thing I want to ask about." "Go ahead." "I want to know the reason why you want to cut off contact with Yoo In Hye." "Under Control." "I hate things that don't go the way I want them to." "I want every situation to go the way I want it." "I think you'll find all other investors like me, with vast sums at stake, think similarly." "But Yoo InHye is trying to break away from my control and create a new game of her own." "Is that answer good enough?" "Yes." "So now it's your turn." "What brings you back to see me?" "Will you accept my offer?" "Before I do, I've a request to make." "That information you showed me earlier about the junk debt that the Han Young Bank is holding... may I make use of that?" "Of course." "I'll hand everything over to you." "Hey, where'd you get this?" "!" "No need to know that." "Just get it out to the media." "With this we can blow them clean away." "You must never let anyone know it was us who leaked this." "I got it." "Don't worry." "According to leaks from the assessors, the Han Young is likely to be ranked among the top three banks." "And ShinHeung Bank's evaluation?" "By any standards, after that systems failure occurred, their evaluation is bound to suffer badly." "They'll find it virtually impossible to get a high score." "There's a problem." "What?" "All over the media, there's a breaking story claiming the Han Young Bank has hidden toxic debts." "During the current assessment it has emerged that the Han Young Bank has been concealing substantial amounts of bad debt." "This conduct by the Han Young Bank has caused..." "They're showing a detailed break-down of our junk debts, so this isn't based on mere speculation." "Find out immediately where they got their information!" "Okay." "The media are really going to town on the Han Young Bank's toxic debt problems." "Not even Yoo In Hye will find this one easy to solve." "Something as big as this... in comparison to our system failure, it's going to hit the Han Young Bank a whole lot harder." "Let's just think of it as restoring things to their rightful state." "We weren't able to figure out the source." "If my suspicions are correct, this leak could have come from James." "James?" "The methods we use for hiding toxic debts... are known to only a very small number of people." "And of those people, the only one who is now hostile to us... is James" "But James is still a major investor in Han Young Bank and Lone Asia." "He wouldn't cut off his own nose to spite his face." "It's because I'm attempting to break my ties with Lone America." "This must be meant as a warning." "Yes, Chairman Han." "Coming at such a sensitive time... this really is a very grave problem." "I'm in the course of preparing a convincing explanation for the assessors." "Whatever..." "It's a fact that what's happened now will create a very negative perception." "I think the outcome will be very much in favor of the Shinheung Bank." "All that's left now to decide between the two Banks is their success at attracting investment." "All preparations for the investment have been settled." "If that's the deciding factor, I'm confident we can win." "How did it go?" "She's agreed to it!" "Really?" "Good work!" "We're really grateful!" "Well, the only thing I did was convey your point of view." "The person you should be thanking is my employer, Woo Geum Ji." "Hello, ma'am." "Yes, we're really grateful." "Yes, we'll work very hard." "Yes." "The burden on your shoulders keeps getting heavier, so I'm starting to feel the weight, too." "Yes, recently even just walking along takes a lot of effort, but I've got you here, so I can cope." "Oh!" "The other day, while I was cleaning my room I found the video of you proposing." "I have it on my phone; do you want to see it?" "Jung Yeon, wow, the day's actually come at last!" "It's so awkward now that I'm trying to talk to you." "I always got 49% and got punished for it, but for the first time today, I got 51%." "Lee Jung Yeon." "Will you marry me?" "You once said it wouldn't be long before this was over and we could live a peaceful life." "I hope that soon comes true." "Sure." "It really will soon come true." "Let's go." "How's the funds transfer coming along?" "As an urgent short-term measure, I've freed up a billion dollars." "Like I told you, send all that money to the phantom company in Labuan." "I understand." "The rest of the money.. please make it available as soon as possible." "Yes, a billion dollars." "I've agreed to transfer it to the phantom company in Labuan" "Fine." "If that money reaches the Han Young Bank without any hitches, they'll have no reason to suspect anything." "Yes." "Yes, then let's do it that way." "I've confirmed that a billion dollars has been received by the phantom company in Labuan." "Contact JR Stanley and let them know that all preparations for investment are ready." "Find out from them where we should deposit the funds." "I understand." "Alright." "I understand." "The money has been transferred." "Wow, the money is in. $100,000,000." "Then, we can take this money!" "That's right!" "We could immediately deposit this money." "We should just take this all and see what happens to that witch, In Hye" "Take it out, take it out, take it out!" "Stop talking nonsense." "We have to send it on right away to J.R. Stanley." "I'm going crazy, just seeing this money get taken right out of my hands." "Even if we're going crazy, let's hold it in." "We've got to do this right," "So we get to grab the rest." "Thank you so much, we look forward to doing business with you." "You have just witnessed the signing of a 10 billion dollar investment agreement between the Han Young Bank and J.R. Stanley." "We have already received the first 1 billion dollar tranche." "The remaining nine billion will be deposited later, according to the investment agreement." "You've seen the announcement by Yoo InHye?" "Yes." "All their efforts seem to have paid off." "whereas we're still only at the early stages." "This really is a huge setback." "All the banks are competing fiercely to get investment." "We've got our work cut out." "With all the banks vulnerable to mergers, investors are understandably hesitant." "The problem of finding investment..." "I promised I'd solve it, and I shall." "Please don't be overly concerned." "What's that you're reading?" "It's just that the atmosphere here is nice, and it's easy to concentrate." "I'm not taking up too much of your busy time, am I?" "Ah no, just have a hectic schedule, I'm not really busy." "What's wrong?" "Well, you always look good..." "But today you look even better than usual." "Have you had some good news?" "No, not really." "So how are you, anyway?" "I'm fine." "Since I've called out a busy person, I'll get straight to the point." "I have a favor to ask of you, Jung Yeon." "Go ahead and ask." "The Childhood Cancer Foundation and the InJin Microfinance Foundation..." "I'd like you to be named as a Director of both of them." "Will you let me do that?" "It's just that I'm not sure I've any right..." "I'm sorry for asking you this favor, even though I knew you'd find it hard to accept." "It's just that, if you're involved with these Foundations, then, even if only once in a while, your thoughts may turn to me." "So that's why I'm asking you." "Will you give your consent?" "I don't know if I have the right to do that," "But, if it's what you want, I'll agree to it." "Thank you." "Since you've granted me that, I'll ask you one more favor." "The first monday of May is my birthday." "Perhaps.." "it may be the last birthday I'll ever have." "I really want to invite you.." "You'll come, right?" "The fight between Han Young Bank and ShinHeung Bank is worth watching." "Who do you think will win?" "Isn't the outcome obvious enough?" "If you're so sure of the outcome," "Then why don't you place a bet?" "Are you willing to take the bet?" "Naturally." "If you work with us, it will be of great help to us." "If I make a bet," "I like to think my stake will bring me more than ordinary winnings." "If I join forces with you," "I'll be taking my money out of Kim Do Hyun's company ValueAsset21, and that will do him enormous damage." "So I guess that means I deserve a significant bonus?" "Sure." "Yes." "You'll get a sufficient reward." "I rather thought you'd understand me..." "Very well, I will go 'All In'." "Do Hyun!" "There's a big problem!" "I think President Goo Sung Chul..." "Has gone over to Yoo In Hye's side" "He's withdrawing the money he invested with us and putting it in the Han Young Bank." "What?" "Hey!" "How come you don't seem particularly shocked?" "It's something I guessed might happen." "Honestly, I was uneasy about that guy from the start." "I always thought he was the type to backstab." "There's no need to be shocked or disappointed." "He's a guy who follows wherever the money goes." "Goo Seong Cheol was our main outside investor." "What do we do?" "What can we do with Puris alone?" "Have a seat." "How did our relationship become so uncomfortable." "Because you.." "pushed me to one side." "There's no doubt that I was very wary of you." "But that's.." "because James is involved in our relationship." "Everything that went on with me and Lone Asia," "You had to report to James." "And that meant... that I had no choice but to treat you that way." "The leak about the Han Young Bank's toxic debts... even though its source appears to have been James," "were you involved, as well?" "That." "That.." "I" "Stephen." "You must stop this now." "All our links with James..." "I want to abolish them completely." "Things won't work out as you wish." "You're wrong there." "No matter what happens, they've simply got to turn out as I want." "You probably feel the same way I feel." "No, not me." "Don't deny it." "You and I." "Because we feared James, we lived lying to ourselves." "Even if we wanted to run away." "The chains tied to our feet." "We couldn't break them." "All the time, thanks to our driving urge to succeed, we clung onto James' hand," "we were both afraid to let go of it." "But now, I don't plan to live like that anymore." "Now... all my links with James... my preparations to sever them are complete." "If you are willing to help me." "I will also make a way for you to get out of this safely." "Did you find out?" "Yes." "But, there's not much we could figure out." "This is all." "Isn't this Yoo In Hye's secretary?" "!" "We saw him on the spot where the Han Young Bank Vice President was murdered." "How did it go?" "Thank you." "You acted like we were never going to meet again," "Why have you come here?" "If we are to never meet again, we should settle things." "Settle things?" "With our relationship, will that be easy?" "It won't be hard either." "Now, I'm going to do as I please." "The investments Lone America made in Lone Asia and Han Young Bank," "You can withdraw them all and it won't matter." "As of today, all our ties, are severed." "Have you forgotten already the terms of our agreement?" "If you terminate the contract unilaterally like this, there are penalty clauses." "Have you forgotten all that?" "I've no idea... what that's supposed to mean." "No matter how strongly you want to break with me, you must know the consequences of doing it this way." "You know better than anyone how scary that contract is." "So why suddenly take this line?" "What contract are you talking about?" "Yes." "It's me." "Just fax me a copy of the contract with Lone Asia right now." "All right." "While we're waiting, will you have a drink?" "All right." "What's wrong?" "What is this?" "Where the hell did this contract come from?" "Fax it again." "What?" "Is something wrong somewhere?" "I don't know how you pulled this trick off, but don't go thinking you can escape my control just like that." "I can discard you." "But there's no way you can ever discard me." "But I've discarded you already..." "So why talk such nonsense?" "That's really beyond me." "What happened?" "Stephen signed it." "What?" "He was at the Dallas headquarters yesterday." "Stephen..." "Stephen..." "I hate things that don't go the way I want them to." "I want every situation to go the way I wish." "I think you'll find all other investors like me, with vast sums at stake, think similarly." "But..." "Yoo InHye is trying to break away from my control and create a new game of her own." "It's me, Kim DoHyun." "That offer you made..." "I'm going to accept it." "Has there been no further information from the assessors?" "There is nothing special going on at this time." "You guys haven't figured out what the revised benchmark is for the evaluation?" "No." "Other banks are also trying to find out the benchmark, but nothing accurate yet." "Stephen was in an accident." "What do you mean accident?" "What is going on?" "While on the way to America.. he was in a car accident." "So what happened?" "He's dead." "We at the Shinheung Bank have attracted some significant foreign investment." "The specific details will be outlined by Kim DoHyun of Value Asset 21." "Hello." "I am Kim Do Hyun from Value Asset 21." "The overseas investor just mentioned is Lone America." "I will now introduce to you the Principal Partner from Lone America, James Jung." "Please support us!" "Do not make hard subs with these subtitles."
