White Nights (불야성)

So, you are going to go against what I said?

The South Korean market's outlook is bright.

Compared to the starting runners, it's too late now to even join the race.

I'm done with all preparations.

Also, Director Jo and Writer Gim will also go back with me.

You brat! How dare you, without even my permission!

I'm past the age to do business only with your permission.

I-Gyeong...

South Korea... Don't go there.

Over there... we can't hope to get a foothold for long.

Pak Mu Il, Jang Tae Jun...

Because of those two people?

I found it in the money vault.

I heard from Director Jo what happened then.

The blow from 30 years of friendship being betrayed...

Father, I understand you.

If you only knew!

Insects of humans who aren't even worth taking revenge on.

I said nothing about taking revenge, though.

I am still deliberating.

Cruel revenge...

or out-and-out exploiting of their worth.

I want to build my own kingdom. Which option is most beneficial?

Gallery S's CEO Seo I Gyeong has arrived.

Yes. We are sending her in.

=Episode 6=-

Glad that you have come.

You two... know each other, right?

We have met before.

Thanks to the Head Director here, right?

You even gave him the transaction details of my gallery.

Old sir would be waiting.

I thought we would be meeting alone, quietly.

Is it not quiet around here?

The flame was to be lit on the platform.

But some pigeons on that were going to get burnt too.

"Right away, we need the broadcast cameras turned around"

"We need the foreign media controlled!"

The organizers were going crazy like that.

And here is what Mu Il said!

"Hey, Tae Jun. Hey, Bong Su."

"To go with soju, the best snack is smoked pigeon!"

For money, there was money. For people, there were people too.

The 88 Olympics... wouldn't be a success but for us three musketeers.

Seeing you both today like this, makes me really sigh though.

Those times of camaraderie with Mu Il and Bong Su feel like just yesterday.

So quickly, it is time for the next generation.

From now on, you guys be my left-hand dragon and right-hand tiger.

Old sir...

Old sir has had special affection towards Moojin Group.

If CEO Seo wishes to support Old sir,

first you would have to help Pak Geon-U lead the Group.

I am not sure.

For Moojin's sake, there is a better choice though.

We know that.

Isn't the real stumbling block Pres. Pak Mu Sam?

Only if CEO Seo compromises and takes care of that--

No need for that.

I came here to pull your sled, Old sir.

I have no plans to run with other sled dogs.

A compromise... will be tough for me too.

If you are entrusting me with something big, please believe in my choice.

You must know what resolve I had, to have come here.

I leave the decision to you, Old sir.

I broke my ties with my uncle to go to Old sir's side.

Wasn't this your goal, from the start?

He is Moojin Group's next chairman.

It's not a card that I can easily toss, can I?

Of course...

To merely do art work special deals... is not like Seo I-Gyeong.

You rolled the dice on making my uncle the Chairman,

and you're even carrying Old sir on your back, in a double game.

That was it, then.

The plan on becoming No.1, like you had said!

What to do?

Your name is not in that plan.

Didn't I say I didn't want to go with you?

The same goes for me.

Mr. Pak Geon-U.

My cards are all laid out.

Whether to take it or not, is Old sir's decision.

This time last year, the prosecutors had looked into Moojin Products.

Insider-dealings with subsidiaries, contract firm kickbacks,

violation of Foreign Currency Control Law...

CEO Seo, you too would know very well...

what kind of a person Pres. Pak Mu Sam is.

Isn't that precisely why he's of more use?

I won't work with a person who has no greed.

How about one who sells out his older brother, then?

You're here?

How are you doing?

Sit down.

After getting caught in insider-dealings, Pres. Pak...

tried to make a deal with the prosecutors.

In order to get himself out, he gave them a bigger fish in Chairman Pak.

Now, do you understand...

the reason why Old sir won't trust Pres. Pak?

This matter... is unknown to Pak Geon-U, right?

If he knew, Moojin Group would've been blown to smithereens.

That is... not something Old sir wants to see.

Even if it's for your sake, please join hands with Pak Geon-U.

Head Director, you try to convince Old sir.

That kingly position that he dreams of...

The one who can make it a reality, is nobody but me.

Yes, CEO?

Where's Director Jo?

He took Se Jin along and went to the Yeoksam-dong office.

Tell them to come back immediately.

Tak, too.

I didn't know we had these kinds of buildings.

Funds management, investment business... Such account operations are done here.

Se Jin, you'll be coming here often too.

Writer, we just got here.

Urgent situation?

Even if the tree is no more than a foot tall,

if it is standing on a mountain top,

it can look over a thousand miles of valleys.

Is it Hanbija, where you just saw such a line?

It's a choice between the two.

To stand on my mountain top, which tree is better?

Geon-U?... If not him, that girl?

Going by just ambition and ability,

wouldn't CEO Seo be the better one?

If the knife is too sharp, can it not cut the owner too?

On a day like today, I wish I could drink some soju with old friends...

Stop talking nonsense!

Hyeongnim, that kid Geon-U threatened me! He did.

Seongbuk-dong's Old sir--

I mean, he's joining him, to kick me out!

Mu Sam!

Barfing is cheap, but that isn't talking!

If that punk Geon-U is left unchecked, he'll cause big trouble!

You should call him in, and give him a proper dressing-down--

The problem... is of your making, isn't it?

Getting stabbed in a big friggin' show! You forgot?

I mean, hyeong.. That is...

You think it's because I'm fond of you, that I kicked out Geon-U?

"The greedy one can go live the greedy way,"

"but I won't let my son get hurt"... That's why I did it.

But then, what did you say? Jang Tae Jun?

Hyeongnim!

Hyeong. Are you okay?

He's my son, and I know him!

"Have this, have that, have it all"... Whatever sweet talk is tried,

he's not a child to get duped by such tricks.

Yes, I understand.

Pretty soon, I'll pay a visit to Seongbuk-dong.

You can get off work early today.

Be ready to be pressed into tiring work, starting tomorrow.

Team Leader.

For the Chairman, this will be devastating.

As I came to see my uncle off in his final journey... when I left Japan too,

it's possible that the writing was already on the wall,

that in the end, this fight... couldn't be avoided.

Could it be that we're over-worried?

Not just anybody, but if it's Pak Geon-U...

It can't be like that.

But it's not something to take lightly.

The target may be Pres. Pak Mu Sam,

but the flames could reach us too, you know.

Everyone, please take note.

Writer, you secure Moojin Group's data first.

Okay.

I need all the intelligence you can collect from the internet.

Tak, you just follow Pak Geon-U.

No matter where he goes, whom he sees, check it 24 hrs.

No problem.

If Seongbuk-dong comes forward,

Prosecutors' tax investigation division or financial inspectors could be deployed.

I'll deal with it.

Then what do I do?

You will just wait at the office.

I don't think I called you over...

From Director Jo, I learned the basics of financing.

As Writer Gim was doing profile updates, I memorized the new intel.

I also learned some computer expertise.

Tak taught me some simple self-defense tricks too.

Though it may not seem to be much to you, CEO,

I've been working hard on my own.

I know you're worried and have a hard time because of Pak Geon-U.

Ask me to do whatever it is.

I will do it well in your place, CEO.

In my place?

I'm never like that, though.

Pardon?

I'm never worried about a passer-by.

I don't wait for instructions from anybody either.

So then... just what is it that you'll do in my place?

I was only worried about you, CEO.

As of now, the real fight is about to start.

Against us we have Jang Tae Jun. And Pak Geon-U.

How much power they have... is still unknown to me.

Are you feeling afraid?

The night before a picnic, if one doesn't get sleep, can it really be out of fear?

Don't have any anxiety. No need to be uneasy either.

You're my hidden master key,

and my bright mirror, after all.

Chairman...

Chairman.

The status makes the man, they say.
