White Nights (불야성)

Even if a herbivore becomes brave,

it will still fall prey to the carnivorous beasts.

When escaping is still possible, just escape.

You... and Geon-U as well.

We should teach this child a harsh lesson, should we not?...

The Chairman's sick bail has been cancelled.

It just came out as breaking news.

The prosecution service has sent a squad to the Dongsan Univ. Hospital.

Famous ex-Chairman Pak Mu Il of Mujin Group, who is under

suspicion for embezzling about 100 billion in public funds,

is under detention again, 31 days after he was released on a sick bail.

Last week, the ruling party members of the National Assembly Law Commission

had held a press conference to urge the

completion of the re-investigation of Mr. Pak.

Mujin Group indicates that they were unprepared to

handle the sudden cancellation of the sick bail.

It is also pointed out that this is Justice Department

exerting unreasonable control on businesses.

Let's go to Seongbuk-dong.

As I was going to the hospital,

he was already taken to the detention center.

No visits are possible there yet.

How did this happen?

I also knew only from watching the news.

Uncle!

Hey kid,

what good would it do me to send my older brother into detention?

I am your father's younger brother.

Just like you said,

like it or not, we are still family.

Seo I-Gyeong didn't seem to know either.

Then, this must be the Old Sir's doing.

Why would that old man do that?

What are you going to do? Geon-U!

Regardless, I have to get father out.

Whether to trade or to negotiate,

I have to go see the Old sir first.

You just stay away, Uncle.

I'll take care of it.

I have already said, that my last name is also Pak.

The number you dialed is unreachable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

CEO is not answering the phone.

Team leader as well.

If the sick bail is cancelled,

he'll need to undergo a trial again, right?

Maybe... even an actual jail sentence.

The more winters we get, the less it's like winter!

In old days, after one cold wave the Han River would freeze.

Today's temperature is zero, maybe?

Thanks to you, Old sir, it dropped below zero.

Chairman Pak Mu Il.

What is the reason to send him back in?

If disposing of was necessary,

shouldn't we have discussed it ahead?

It's just going back to my initial intentions.

I'll be in charge of politics,

and you will be in charge of the rest.

Wasn't this the condition that we agreed on?

Why was the sick bail cancelled?

The reason is what I'm asking you.

If the son makes a mistake, at least the dad should take responsibility!

I can't just trust your words,

and leave things unsettled on this issue.

How dare he do investigation behind my back?

This is Old sir's decision.

CEO Seo, would you please take a step back?

This time it's one step. Next time, two steps.

Your plan is to use that scheme to push me out, right?

There's no need to feel uneasy.

There will be no driving you away.

Just that... I will approve the limits, within which

you will have to properly do your work.

You seem to want meaningless obedience.

It is to assist you, Old sir, that I'm here.

You need to follow my intentions to be assisting, I mean.

You need to be following my plan.

Mr. Nam.

Yes, Old sir.

The secret bank accounts handed over to CEO Seo.

Collect them all back.

You took much trouble this while, CEO Seo.

I hope you won't regret this.

Half of the parents fate, is a child's share, isn't it?

You will also, like Bong Su, leave empty-handed.

If only you bowed once, he would've let you go.

You are hunting for hardship, huh?

Isn't this the conclusion you hoped for?

He is a generous person.

Just say that you'll go along like he wants.

Then he will forgive you.

The bank accounts will be sent back right away.

Is there no room for negotiation?

This is a declaration of war.

No need for any compromise.

He thinks the food is all cooked.

He doesn't know he threw ash on it too early.

Old sir?

He is busy, preparing to shake off the 'beauty club'.

There is nothing to hand over to you two, he says.

Then, are you going to just leave my brother out there like that?

That is a Justice Dept decision, so what can we do?

Mr. Nam Jong Gyu.

What are you doing with an old man who is sick?

If you want to retaliate, do it directly to me.

Retaliation, you say?

Your words are a bit too serious.

You, and also Old sir...

You've picked the wrong target.

Geon-U. We are not here to quarrel.

Let's somehow talk it over and...

These people have no plans to change course.

Our company, and our family.

They want it both, to play with.

Let Old sir know this.

This time I'll take aim right at him.

Chairman, you have some good news.

CEO Seo I-Gyeong will not interfere with Mujin Group matters anymore.

The storm will be strong this time.

Where it will blast in from, and how,

is difficult to predict.

On every item, if there's anything out of the ordinary, report it immediately.

CEO.

This thing...

Does it have anything to do with our rescue of Se Jin?

No. They're unconnected.

This was bound to happen sooner or later.

It happened to start now, that's all.

CEO.

What's the matter?

I saw the news.

I worried the entire day,

because Pak Geon-U was never reachable.

I thought you would know something...

Lee Se Jin.

Yes?

Don't make a big deal about this.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't be calling you like this.

You don't have to worry about Geon-U.

He will do just fine on his own.

I know, but...

Worry about yourself before others.

Clumsy consoling. Concern...

If there's no money in it, it's pointless, you mean?

Don't you know, that I'm good at doing hopeless things?

Nothing to brag about.

CEO, are you... all right?

CEO...

What you are good at doing... Don't do it anymore.

You said you would to do it your way, as you left.

Then you should stay loyal to your own choice.

Dealing with you on every item, is tiresome for me.

So you're here!

Let's sit.

What's with you?

The sky is not falling.

Have you been sleeping well?

Why do you all come and ask me that?

I sleep very well. I eat well, too.

Any cough?

Only a bit.

Look at you, boy. Did you come to visit your dad,

or to look all guilty?

Show some cheer on your face.

It wasn't Uncle.

It wasn't Seo I-Gyeong either.

It was Old sir's doing.

I knew it would be like that.

Just to announce his return to politics with some fanfare,

he has to again do one of his dirty tricks.

I touched a weak spot on Old sir.

And you took a bullet in my place, father.

So, now that I'm back in here, that issue is done?

No. It's only starting with a bang.

I won't just sit and take it either.

Even if I tell them I can stop you,

you won't quit, will you?

He is like a snake.

Whatever the hell he says, don't fall for it.

Do not trust him.

Keep that in mind.

Yes.

Team leader, where are you now?

We'll need to again look into that Calling Company.

Please come to the studio now.

CEO.

At our Yeoksam-dong office...

The FSS and NTS people have come in together!

(FINANCIAL SUPERVISORY SERVICE, NATIONAL TAX SERVICE)

Who do we have on site to deal with this? (Financial

(Supervisory Service, National Tax Service)

Dir. Jeong and Team Leader Lee are to be in charge.

They are undergoing targeted inquiry on non-performing loans.

This is not unanticipated.

You should calm down.

Yes, CEO.

Scope of investigation, and jurisdiction.

Check and confirm those things clearly.

There's no need to cooperate beyond that.
