White Nights (불야성)

People, when in a predicament,

-=Episode 14=- People, when in a predicament,

-=Episode 14=- could blurt out all kinds of things.

The feeling of urgency about what's immediate,

can make them not even think of later consequences.

A memo record that Bong Su left behind...

would surely come as news to me.

It's from the time when he helped you and Pak Mu Il.

All the money transactions, instruction memos,

and even secret talks had all been noted down.

The officials of authority mentioned in there number about 100.

Many of them are in positions of power even now.

How would it be so?

When he had such lethal record in his hand,

how come he never disclosed it,

but so quietly went back to Japan?

I suppose I am not believing this.

It's because he viewed you and Chmn Pak as less than humans.

Those guys...

have no worth as human beings.

Even if you open this up and ask them of their sins,

the thick-skinned bastards won't even say word in repentance or ask for forgiveness.

At this point, we can't get them sent to prison,

as the statute of limitations have long since passed.

But you can put an end to his political career.

If the truth comes out that that there was such filthy corruption and deals in the conduct of the Olympics,

he will never be able to escape the society's moral criticism.

I have no plans to get revenge on your behalf, though.

I'm going there only to do business.

Even in the business you do, someday...

this memo record will surely come into use eventually.

Bong Su, that friend...

was of such a careful nature, I must say.

In CEO Seo's safe locker at the bank,

there's nothing other than this record.

This is a secret weapon that can put pressure on me.

Are you fine with just handing it over like this?

To use something like this in a plan to topple you,

was never a thought in my mind.

Now that it's just a relic left by my father,

its utilty is all but exhausted by this deal.

Take it away and burn it.

Sure, Old sir.

Then I will take it that the deal was a success.

CEO Seo.

Though I cannot come to the funeral,

please pass on my sincere grief to the deceased.

At Bong Su's funeral room, please light an incense for me.

I am going to send him off on his journey in comfort.

So your request... will be turned down.

That friend who remained at the villa...

Please send her back now.

That is already done.

Not sure how he knew,

but Pak Geon-U had come looking.

Don't worry about the CEO.

She's confident and will get the negotiation done.

Don't you know how capable the CEO is?

Try to get some shuteye.

You would've been too scared to even sleep.

Anyway, when I-Gyeong got the bad news,

it was a good thing that you were with her.

I cannot even imagine.

It's her father who passed away,

but she doesn't even get a chance to grieve.

Where's the CEO?

She went directly to the airport.

This may take quite a few days,

so we'll entrust the gallery to you till then.

Please don't worry.

Writer, I'll also come to the airport and--

Se Jin...

I'm sorry, but this is something for just us...

We'll leave, okay?

Today I have to do the final accounts.

He would be waiting for that...

So that he can depart with peace of mind.

21 million.

And then 37 million.

Considering the economic depression,

this much should be good enough.

Don't feel too saddened.

Bong Su has already left, you said?

Yes.

How can he leave the sinners behind and go first?

Now... how can I atone for my sins?

Bong Su's daughter...

Has she gone back home?

Yes.

We should send condolences in our company's name.

Uncle would have done that.

My diehard friend.

Don't be this heartbroken, father.

So, CEO Seo says that she'll again come back to Korea?

Well, at this juncture...

with her business here stopped,

won't she stay in Japan, running her dad's business?

She will come back.

What she was doing here...

isn't something she'll give up easily.

How can she be in a feud with Jang Tae Jun?

If the bastard is tormenting her, what's the need to persist with her Korean business?

She is the type who wants to defeat even Old sir.

Just climbing to the top, is of no use, like they say.

Okay then.

He wants you to just talk to me today.

I thought it was Old sir who called me over?

If I talk with you, it is just the same.

As the Neo-City project's progress is slow,

Old sir is greatly worried.

Before the upcoming presidential election,

the contribution to TJ Foundation is to be made,

so you should put in more effort, chairman.

Look here, Head Director.

I am also busting my ass here, alright?

Just leave the Group matters to me and--

Just because CEO Seo washed her hands off,

if you are to follow suit, chairman... that won't go down well.

On the Project progress status so far,

we would need to get a proper report.

Is it Old sir ordering this?

Is there any difference?

How long did you wait?

3 hours... just about.

What about her SNS?

That day itself, she took me off the friends list.

It's all blocked, on and offline.

Let's try to find another way.

Let's just wait for a while more.

It's a waste of time.

Isn't it obvious, from that day?

Jeong Mi Yeon has no intention to help us.

Our sudden appearance may have shocked her.

If we spend more time to convince her, it'll work.

Se Jin.

If they want something, those people will stop at nothing.

They threatened us previously,

and this time they even kidnapped CEO.

Her father passed away,

but they even tried to use that as a bargaining chip.

Like you, Se Jin, I am very anxious too.

But... it's because we're against such people,

that greater precautions need to be taken.

Don't you understand what I mean?

Aren't you tired?

Take some rest at home!

Whether it's Koreans or the Japanese,

visitors offering condolences form long lines.

What about CEO Seo?

Didn't she say anything to you, father?

You pathetic fellow.

Friend or foe, no visiting mourner gets treated coldly.

But it's not the place to discuss business either.

In any case, Seo I-Gyeong really hit it big.

What?

Chairman Seo... I heard that he has a huge fortune.

She's his only daughter.

If she inherits all of that...

The losses from the business suspension...

can be resolved easily.

What is it?

If you covet the inheritance so much, maybe you're praying...

that your dad will die really soon.

Hey, what kind of talk is that?

But then... it's not like nothing bothers me.

I heard that you're planning to share with Chairman Son in gobbling up CEO Seo's company.

A perfectly fine son is here,

so there's no need for others' help, is there?

Perfectly fine? You?

Recently, on my overseas investments,

I have done really well!

You saw that earnings report!

Getting lucky once or twice doesn't mean anything.

Luck also comes from ability!

How dare you stare at me?

You useless twerp...

He won't even trust his son!

Where did my angel go?

It's time to get some new intel on investments!

Is there any news on CEO?

No.

Head Director and Writer called many times,

but the CEO hasn't called.

Till the funeral is over, she'll be busy, right?

Don't worry needlessly.

After steadying the matters there, she'll take a few days rest and get back.

You're taking so much trouble.

I want to help you,

but can only do it in thought.

I will accept the thought.

All the best.

Are the second round tenders fixed?

Oh, that?

We'll be picking the firm that CEO Seo designated,

so we'll need to wait a little.

We'll get an okay from the Fair Trade Commission,

and will get to the repeat tender pretty soon.

On the constructors, let me give my recommendation.

That will be a bit difficult.

If we go and choose just any company,
