White Nights (불야성)

=Episode 8=-

There's something you can help me with.

Pass it on to Geon-U. Hand it over personally.

You expected from the start that Pak Geon-U would approach me, you mean?

Is that why you fired me?

It was 50-50.

It was possible that you would come back,

but you might've completely given up too.

If I carelessly got close to him,

Geon-U wouldn't believe me.

When you take on people, don't mix in anything real...

whether you're up against Pak Geon-U, or someone else.

If even a little sincerity gets in the way,

everything else that's fake will get exposed.

The thing you asked me to find... is this, isn't it?

Am I right?

What you sent me a photo of.

How did you find it?

Pardon?

You found it sooner than I expected.

He'll be curious on how you got your hands on it.

It was hidden so well that even the search team never found it.

If you found it so easily,

wouldn't that be suspicious?

So how would you have found this?

Should I say I searched secretly at night?

If it were you, would you believe it?

What if I said you told me where it was hidden?

Then wouldn't I suspect immediately,

that the one who stole the hard drive was you?

Can't I just concoct an identical lie?

I'll say that I gave the same lie to you.

It has to be a story that both Geon-U and I can accept.

If I mix together all your advises, that will do.

When they came for the search, you told me the hard drive's secret location,

asking me to quickly move it elsewhere.

After that?

It was lost from the safe place... That's the lie I would give you.

Like it was then found by the prosecutors or the police.

If I believed that the search team took it away...

Then, CEO, you would have no reason to suspect me, right?

You need to explain it to its owner also, and say exactly this.

That the CEO believes this to have been confiscated by the prosecutors.

What's wrong?

Are you alright with this?

Me putting you in danger with this, that is.

Big danger is followed by big reward.

No credit cards please. I only accept cash!

Are you in any urgent need for funds?

Money is never enough, you know.

You do know my situation,

as you did background checks on me.

I didn't know you'd contact me so quickly.

If the situation changes, the thinking also may change.

Mr. Pak Geon-U, those were your words... am I right?

But Se Jin, your words were that I'm a hypocrite, right?

Those words keep lingering in my mind.

Now I understand though.

This kind of backdoor deal...

is nothing but a dirty deal, however we sugarcoat it.

Let us just end our deal here.

My fight is with I-Gyeong, so there's no need for you also to get ruined, Se Jin.

What you just said is also hypocritical, you know?

I did it only for this money, so I'm not even ashamed.

Whether I'm 'ruined' or not, how does it matter to you?

Se Jin...

A business mogul's son that the world envies...

Your rich guy and smart guy acts, I can take.

But would you mind dropping this sweet guy act?

Will this take a while?

Se Jin had something to do near here.

If there's time, I wanted to fetch her.

No more than 30 minutes, round trip.

Be on call here.

Please inform him that CEO Seo is here.

=File for Approval=-

Ms. Seo I-Gyeong, you're asked to come in first.

In such a short time,

can one grow the company so much?

You wouldn't even have slept at night!

You took so much trouble.

Do you need any kind of help? Just tell me.

I brought it only as you wanted to know how the company was doing. There's no other intention.

Is that so?

Don't they say "bloodline never lies"?

Just like Bong Su, you are so good at business!

Chairman, you should call over your bloodline too.

How long will you let him be Seongbuk-dong's errand boy?

If it goes like this, Pak Geon-U...

will end up becoming their man.

No big deal.

I only produced a son, not his mind!

As he willingly did that, the less I see, the better.

It could be that Seongbuk-dong Old sir is keeping him as a shield.

Shield?

You both spent a long time together.

Even what you must know... becomes what you'd rather not know, the way your thoughts match!

Chairman, in the old man's case, you said you knew something that's a... deadly weak spot, right?

Whatever is in your mind, you tell me.

If it's on Jang Tae Jun, I can fix him.

It's certain that he is hiding...

a weapon that can pierce Jang Tae Jun.

Even if he has it, and admits it... would he use it easily?

I've checked it.

Luckily, the account has no problems.

Old sir also asked me to tell you that you did great!

Then...

I'll have to meet him briefly.

So you wish to return to Mu Il's side, huh?

I'm sorry, Old sir.

I fully know how you feel.

"Having repaid the debt this nicely,"

"I should be able to return to my father's side".

That's just what you'd be thinking.

With his brother holding on tight, Mu Sam can't play any tricks either.

Once the things that worried you vanished,

all the visits you're having to make here...

would only be tedious.

Old sir...

It's no problem.

You can go back any time.

If my father really gets sentenced,

I will become the chairman, like you have hinted.

Looks like I won't be able to pull that sled.

That's a real shame.

Only if we're of use to each other, do we stay in touch for long.

CEO Seo I-Gyeong...

Please don't mind her anymore, or expect issues.

It is that girl who caused the issues.

If a child causes trouble, it's asking for a caning.

Old sir...

Convey my regards to Mu Il.

He's like a neatness freak.

Even if the other side commits fouls,

he will only play by the rules.

That's what Pak Geon-U is.

Making a deal with you also

must be bothering his conscience.

Seems like an upright man.

Very much so.

He is also a coward.

Self-disciplined people, are like that out of too much fear.

They're afraid of stumbling.

Rules, standards... Such things are props to steady oneself.

You're good at this.

If it's 8 years at temp jobs,

somehow one gets good at reading people.

His shell is hard to break. Are you confident?

He'll soon be returning to the group, right?

So he'll be an obstacle to your plan for sure.

Whatever it takes, I must become confident.

I want to make I-Gyeong stop.

If she keeps running like this,

she'll collapse in the end.

Let us just end our deal here.

My fight is with I-Gyeong, so there's no need for you also to get ruined, Se Jin.

He's like a neatness freak.

Even if the other side commits fouls,

he will only play by the rules.

That's what Pak Geon-U is.

The roof won't collapse.

Did the CEO give some homework again?

You can say that.

What is it?

Want me to help you?

What?

What I'm saying...

may sound strange, but...

I love you.

Hey, brat!

You...

Ah... That floored you, huh?... Didn't it?

That sure is dangerous.

Team leader, you aren't permitted inside.

Open it, please.

Even if there's ruckus inside, please don't come in.

What, is this some country market?... For anybody to just walk in and out of?

What's with you guys? Drag this fellow out now!

Seongbuk-dong. I said farewell there and came.

I told Old sir that...

I'd rather handle the duties by your sick bed, than his orders.

My dutiful-son words worked, it seems?

Don't do all the screaming in one breath. Scold me in batches.

Please forgive me, father.

Cut the kowtowing!

A grown man... needs to keep his neck up straight!

If it goes like this, Pak Geon-U...

will end up becoming their man.

It could be that Seongbuk-dong Old sir is keeping him as a shield.

Jang Tae Jun, that old fart... Did he really release you quietly?

He didn't say anything else?

I went on my own, and came back on my own.

Prosecutors' office?

National highway Traffic Bureau Chief Gim Jin Cheol

was arrested last month on bribery charges.

As a record of an artwork transaction with Gallery S was obtained,

CEO Seo I-Gyeong needs to be questioned as a reference witness.

Look here!

Last time it was a search & seizure here.

This time you're ordering around the CEO too?
