East of Eden

Episode 31

President, you already gave me shares from the slot machines, didn't you?

I did.

I didn't give it to you because you asked me for it,

I gave it to you on my own accord.

I gave it to you because you deserved to have it.

Then let me take the liberty to ask this,

Since it's Tae Sung Electronics,

That's why I want to acquire it.

It seems...

It seems the time is not right.

If you acquire it,

Will you be able to run it?

Fine.

If you think you can do it, give it a shot.

Go ahead.

Episode 31

What brings you here?

It's been such a long time, Father Han.

How long have you been waiting?

Come inside.

No.

There's no need for me to go in there.

My son, Myung Hun, came here, right?

I believe he didn't mention anything useless, did he?

And so?

Is that the reason why you're here?

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae...

Did she come here too?

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae...

Has lost her mind already.

Father, if you do not stop her,

Looking at all her deeds now,

In no time,

She will hurt herself.

President Shin Tae Hwan,

You haven't changed a bit.

No matter how sturdy the tree,

The day a strong wind bellows from the north,

Branches will break and leaves will fall.

Its fruit will drop to the ground too.

Isn't this your sickening preaching again?

Having the same desire as me,

The lost sheep whom you love very much,

Is now engulfed in past hatred and heading for death,

So I'm telling you to stop her.

The only one who can stop Yoo Mi Ae is you,

There's no other way out!

The sin you yourself committed in the past,

You should redeem it yourself now...

Your expectation for Nurse Yoo Mi Ae,

who ignores all consequences, will push her towards death itself!

Just Tae Sung alone is keeping me busy,

So this warning,

Is the best courtesy I can give her.

Please help me convey that to her.

I hope, Father Han, you can do what you're supposed to do.

Dong Wook must be really busy.

Yes.

Carpenter Mun.

Um...

After this batch of houses are built and sold,

I will...

Only run the retail business of building materials.

Sister!

What are you saying?

Since my son is a prosecutor now,

From now on, I'll work at this restaurant selling delicious food,

And sell some building materials.

Sister!

But we only build houses to sell,

Are we in a land-investment business like others,

Or cheated by selling inferior houses?

There's nothing related to your prosecutor son.

I have never cheated anyone,

Nor invested in anything.

But that is what I feel like doing.

Ever since Dong Wook was transferred from the outskirts to the Prosecutor's Office,

I have made up my mind.

When she goes in and out of the bank for loans,

There's this commission or something,

The police, regional government office, they all want money,

All kinds of illegal things going on, I think she's gotten afraid.

With a prosecutor as a son, I think, as a mother, she wants a clean life.

Gosh! You're trying to be so holy.

Sister, if you're going to stop selling houses, I'll take over.

I'll back you with funds, Carpenter Mun, continue doing what you do.

Or you could go work at the same construction site as Wang Gun.

How about that?

I think Carpenter Mun must have gotten such a rude shock.

Aigoo! Aigoo, Sister!

You've been waiting, right?

Something urgent came up so...

You always make me wait for you.

It's all because I was helping Dong Chul.

You've eaten?

How could I have eaten?

Let's go. I'll give you a good treat.

The best meal comes from our restaurant.

Let's go eat there.

But isn't this a date?

Oh! You keep me waiting all the time, what kind of date is this?

My Ki Sun,

When she gets angry, she's even prettier.

But what's up with keun oppa?

Well, you don't have to worry about it.

Bill, please!

A man like me waiting for his poison cup*,

Yet you request to see me unexpectedly.

Yes.

You're...

A man.

You've been like this from the very start.

Others have made use of me or run away,

Or made me clean up their messes for them.

You're the only one,

You're the man!

Oh, it's Min Hye Rin, right?

Come and sit over here.

If, to me, Lee Dong Chul alone is the man,

Then Min Hye Rin,

Is the woman amongst the women.

If this is fate, then it's somewhat strange.

Hye Rin, you too, requested to see me, right?

You have decided...

Not to dodge the political sword but to face up to it, am I right?

Yes.

You seem to know me well.

It's unfortunate...

That you and I can't work together for long.

And you too.

Such a handsome face,

Yet I won't be seeing you for a while, what a waste.

The three of us with similar tempers have met up.

This meeting is really meaningful.

Why say that?

Let's have a drink before you get called up.

No.

Seeing me might bring you both some trouble already.

It's just that,

The last two people I get to meet...

A beautiful woman,

A handsome man,

I saw you two, that's enough for me.

That day I met you coincidentally at the kendo* hall,

I asked Cheon Duk Bo,

Lee Dong Chul...

What kind of a man is he?

Finally,

He said...

A man who deserves acquaintance.

Today, the two of us,

It feels like we both received your praise, that we both deserved your acquaintance too.

That feels good.

Lee Dong Chul...

Don't get nervous.

In the middle of the night like this, I won't ask to interview you.

Have a safe trip home.

Yes, goodbye.

You're still not asleep yet?

Yes.

What about sister?

Sung Hyun took her.

What?

When?

He said he'll take her for treatment in Switzerland then bring her back.

And he was sorry he couldn't see you before leaving.

I think the organization decided on this and he agreed to it.

He said he'll be responsible for curing Hye Ryung,

And bringing her back when she's well.

Mother, is she alright?

She refuses to leave Hye Ryung's room.

Mother.

Mother?

What right do I have for you to call me that?

Thinking through it now,

You...

Hye Ryung, and Mr. Baek too,

You are all very good.

I'm the only one who is bad.

Especially to you.

I said things I shouldn't have said.

Did things I shouldn't have done. So many things wrong.

How can I get you to forgive me?

Mother, you've done nothing wrong.

If it were me...

If one day my husband,

Brings back a child and says to make it my own,

I don't think I'd want to even look at the child.

Being with the child,

Would only make me feel disgusted.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hye Rin.

I'm truly sorry.

I...

I don't want to admit this.

I really don't want to admit this,

But I've accepted you long ago.

You really grew up excellently, my Hye Rin.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Not even a chance!

Who am I? I'm Shin Tae Hwan!

- Go in, Father. - Father, you're drunk.

Go and sleep.

Mother,

Just let him rest tonight.

Please.

You're not drunk.

I won't apologize.

Words of forgiveness?

I won't utter those too.

Those words will only give you more deadly injury.

When I was young, the first moment I met you,

At that time, I remember telling you clearly that I have many things

I need to discard in my life.

I know.

Although I didn't know what those things were,

I knew you sacrificed a lot to marry me.

That's right.

From that time onwards till now, I've never betrayed you.

Rebecca...

After meeting you, she's the last mistake I made.

That mistake...

It's really very scary.

The relationship I had with her,

Is like the morning dew, it disappeared long ago. I've forgotten about it.

I don't want to let those trivial things of the past stab your heart like a knife.

Trivial things of the past?

You forget and it'll make everything alright?

The mistake you made,

It has brought a huge calamity,

And might even destroy Tae Sung, don't you know that?

You can't argue your way out of this!

I can.

I, Shin Tae Hwan, won't die from this.

Ignore her, my dear.

I'm saying this for your good.

Ignore her.

This is the strength needed to win this battle.

Ignore her.

Ignore...

Ignore...

Ignore her?

All this while, how did I...

Manage to live like this?

This is the final portion.

Seeing this, you cannot claim not to know about it.

It's correct, right?

In the previous regime...

In the process of Tae Sung Construction changing the greenbelt into a residential zone illegally,

You received the request from Tae Sung Construction's President Shin Tae Hwan,

And this is the money you received as the price paid for bribing various colleagues.

I did get some funds from President Shin Tae Hwan,

Although that's true,

But it has nothing to do with illegal bribery, it's political funds.

If it was political funds,

Were there receipts given for it?

He went all out...

In November 1992, the political funding regulation was passed.

According to the enhanced political funding regulation,

An individual's contribution to an organization must not exceed 10 million won.

And...

We have in our hands, information on your private life.

Do you want to have a look?

Sir, you are currently a member of parliament.

How can you bear damage to your reputation?

Before all citizens,

Fulfill your obligation to reveal the truth.

Well, about me,

How much will you expose to the media?

That is up to you, sir.

This money...

Was it as a favor to Tae Sung's Shin Tae Hwan,

You accepted it as a bribe, is that correct?

Is that correct?

Hello everyone.

The Chief Prosecutor is not available,

So I am here to replace him.

Councilman Park Kwang Chul has made a statement,

Regarding Tae Sung Construction's illegal bribery case.

We plan to summon Tae Sung Construction's President, Shin Tae Hwan...

For investigations immediately.

Do you have conclusive evidence?

Hello?

Is this President Shin Tae Hwan?

It is.

I'm calling from Seoul Prosecution Office, Special Branch, this is Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

You have to report before 2pm today,

To the Seoul Prosecution Office.

Lee Dong Wook,

You seem to have made it.

A commanding presence indeed.

I'm just executing my duties,

President Shin Tae Hwan.

Did you think I would quietly obey your orders?

Report over there at your specified date and time?

It doesn't matter how you come, you still have to show up.

I will be waiting for you.

Yes, I got it.

- Officer Kim, they want you over there. - Yes.

Prosecutor,

- I'm needed at the Special Branch. - Yes, I know.

Congratulations, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

The very first case you're heading after joining the Special Branch, isn't it?

You're here.

When hunting down a bear,

Those who are good at leading the chase,

Will get the bear's heart and receive awards.

But if the leader fails,

He might get shot by the arrow.

Tell me the truth,

You're afraid, right?

Yes,

In truth, I'm afraid.

To tell you honestly,

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get Councilman Park Kwang Chul's statement.

I was more nervous than him.

This is the first arrow shot out by the new government,

It better not yield an empty result.

Is it true?

Number 1 has instructed you to investigate Cheon Duk Bo?

That matches very well with a reporter's imagination.

Then what about the rumor saying we have files related to Cheon Duk Bo?

It seems you're really craving some headline news.

What I mean is,

No matter what kind of files you have on hand,

So long as Cheon Duk Bo intends to escape, there's no stopping him.

Stop.

I'm hungry.

Let's go and eat at the canteen.

No. I'm busy.

Here.

Potato cakes which my boss likes.

You eat it.

Hye Rin,

Stop making wild guesses,

You'll only obstruct the bear-hunting.

Is that so?

I'm off.

Hello?

It's me, Hyung.

Yes, Dong Wook.

I just made a call to Shin Tae Hwan.

What?

Before 2pm today,

He has to report to Seoul Prosecution Office.

Is that so?

Up until now, I still can't believe it.

What did he say?

He said he can't obey my orders.

If he won't do as I say,

I will bring in him by force, Hyung.

Yes, well done.

Handle the matter cautiously.

It feels like I've lived only for this moment.

See you back home, Hyung.

Yes, bye.

What is this about, Lee Dong Chul?

Why isn't Mike in Macau?

He won't answer the phone too.

Didn't he say anything before he left?

He just mentioned we won't be seeing each other for a while.

Then wait for him to come get you.

I have a bad premonition about this.

Yes.

Mike is in a difficult situation right now.

Why is it only the two of you know about this and not me?

Because you're a terrible wife.

Mike...

Will he die?

The prince of Macau...

I know that's a throne he'll never get to ascend.

Because of me.

Not just because of you.

I know that.

It's because of my dad's expectations too.

Where did you send Mike to?

It's better you not know.

Mike has been living in pursuit all this while?

And my dad?

Does he know you sent Mike away?

No.

He doesn't know.

Hello?

Is Young Ran with you?

I'm talking about Young Ran.

Yes, she's here.

Then bring Young Ran to the meeting room.

President Min is here,

She should come greet him, I have something to say too.

I understand.

This is very urgent.

Such a small matter doesn't warrant you making a trip here.

Oh, you're here.

Uncle, you're here too?

Yes. You like it here more than Macau, don't you?

Yes.

- Hello, Hye Rin Unni. - Hello.

Sit down.

Lee Dong Chul,

Hansae Daily is going to increase their printed pages.

Is that so? Congratulations.

Thanks, thanks.

You need to make a trip to Japan,

And negotiate a good price for roller press.

What do you mean?

The company that manufactures our slot machines,

They make roller press too.

Isn't it great that you have the right contacts over there?

You go together with Reporter Min,

Go and negotiate a good price.

But President,

I'm not well-versed with roller press.

Then you think I am?

Slot machines and roller press are both metallic pieces.

Isn't that so, Hyungnim?

We're increasing our printed pages, but the roller press is already so old.

There's not enough time.

I will get Hye Rin to write reviews for you,

In place of the current chief, just hurry, please.

We're hurrying now, aren't we?

And for such urgent matters,

Why did you wait till now to mention it?

We're short on funds, but the roller press is dying.

We wanted to keep using it with all our means, but it just wouldn't work.

Hyungnim, I have funds, really!

Also,

This is a great opportunity to train Hye Rin.

From the newspaper office to the circulation office, now to the roller press.

She's doing so well.

I have to get her ready to take my place.

Hye Rin is surely up to the task.

Dong Chul,

Fix the date for the trip.

I understand.

Lee Dong Chul,

Sorry I have to trouble you.

I'll book the flight according to your schedule.

Stop saying such meaningless things.

Your father came here empty-handed,

And asked for help to get the roller press.

Of course I'll pay for the flight too.

Why use that to establish Hansae Daily's dignity?

Uncle,

Have you come to an end with Han Sung group?

For how long must we be your bank?

Hey, Grace.

Dad,

You're behaving like a match-maker today.

Are you doing the trip?

Together with Min Hye Rin?

Why?

You're worried?

Don't go.

I don't want you to go.

Guk Ja...

It's a business trip.

Stop running useless errands,

Acquire Tae Sung Electronics instead.

In front of my dad, take back your sword valiantly.

Don't worry,

I have my own plans.

Eat some seafood too.

I pay so little accommodation fee,

I feel bad.

Mom, you heard that?

Yes.

I think I have to increase the accommodation fee starting this month.

Here, this month's salary.

But why are you giving it to Ki Sun?

It's been more than three months already.

He's been giving it to me.

That's what I'm asking, why are you holding onto it?

Oh, so I should be giving it to you from now on.

What are you saying?

You're back.

Any calls for me?

What kind of calls?

From Dong Wook.

None.

You sit.

The two of you are all over the grapevine.

People are asking if that's our new son-in-law.

Be careful how you behave.

Mother,

Yes?

Since it's all over the grapevine,

I might as well be married.

What?

What do you possess that you deserve to be married?

Dong Chul's not even married yet.

So rude.

And I...

I've not gotten over whether you're human or not.

Mother!

If such rumors persist,

I will chase you out, and no more accommodation for you.

You're still young but look at that stubble.

Hyungnim,

Carpenter Mun is here too.

Since when?

I have no money to pay salaries.

Am I your bank, Carpenter Mun?

I want to split up the construction team.

I'll look for work at a site which builds traditional houses.

The construction site is so empty,

I can't find the strength to do work there.

What can I do?

Again, making trouble are you?

You must be so well-fed.

You want to starve to death your wife and children back in the hometown?

Have you had dinner?

The workers are waiting for their salaries.

Then you should come to the restaurant in the daytime.

Where am I going to get the cash on such short notice?

Wait here.

Sister,

I want a divorce.

I told you I was suspicious of him, he's a complete pervert.

Be careful what you say.

I just realized this woman has husband-suspicion disease.

She follows me wherever I go, suspecting me about everything.

What is my job? It's a job that relates to people, right?

No, Sister, I've been completely cheated.

And not the common kind of cheating too.

He said I'm his first marriage, what a lie!

No!

What a headache!

One shouldn't marry in haste.

These are still good times.

It's good that you can still quarrel and fight.

The truth is...

She's playing coy because she loves me.

I know that too, that's why I'm going to get her now.

Well then...

Honey.

Honey!

When you get home, you should quarrel and fight too.

You should be nice to your wife when you're alive,

Otherwise you'll regret it.

Are you one who has regrets?

Of course, I'm human too.

President Shin Tae Hwan requests that the summons time be delayed.

I really don't know what he's thinking of.

We can't delay it any longer.

I'm of the same mind too.

I'll apply for the writ to get him here by force.

But he's an influential businessman, after all.

We have to show him some face.

Maybe we'll wait a little longer.

We can't wait any longer.

I will go get him personally.

Get him in person?

You're a prosecutor, you know. Is there a need for that?

I will go.

People from the Seoul Prosecution Office are here.

What?

I'm here to bring in President Shin Tae Hwan to the Seoul Prosecution Office.

I'm Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Hello.

Seoul Prosecution Office, Special Branch, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

It's my big regret to meet like this.

President Shin Tae Hwan,

You have to make a trip with me to the office.

Chief.

Oh, isn't this Prosecution Chief Noh Jae Bong?

We have to trouble you to be here.

When the Prosecution Office beckons, I should come immediately.

But to a businessman, time is money.

Having to trouble the prosecutor-in-charge,

To come get me personally, I'm so sorry.

We are in a fix too, President.

I understand, I understand.

It seems there are some misunderstandings about me.

Well, the investigation will remove any doubt.

But it's been such a long time,

Before I get started, can you spare me some tea, Chief?

Prosecutor Lee,

Having some tea before the investigation, is that alright?

Yes.

Wait outside the chief's office, and bring him over to my office after that.

- Yes. - Yes.

Yes, let's go.

Do you still exercise regularly nowadays?

Not much time recently, so I can't go regularly.

Mother, here's a pacifying pill.

You should take it.

Where's Myung Hun?

Off to the lawyer's office.

Inside and outside, what on earth is going on?

If grandfather finds out, what a great shock it'll be.

We have carefully instructed the lawyers,

I don't think he'll find out.

I've warned him before, that a day like this will come.

Mom, am I not going to school today?

You are.

Is grandmother sick?

Yes, I don't feel well.

Don't be sick.

Until I get back from school, please bear with it.

Yes.

Mother,

I'll send him to school and be right back.

No.

Go and help Myung Hun.

He needs you by his side so that he can be steady.

All that has happened recently has been tough on him.

Why? Are you upset?

I...

So long as I have you, I won't be upset at all.

I'm not tired at all.

I like your smiles too.

I'll sing that for you again.

Prosecutor,

I've brought Tae Sung Construction's President Shin Tae Hwan here.

Prosecutor?

Tae Sung Construction's Shin Tae Hwan...

Investigating Officer Kim Jong Seok,

Go out and come in again.

Go out and bring him in again!

President, I'm sorry but...

Let's go out now.

Prosecutor...

I've brought Tae Sung Construction's President Shin Tae Hwan here.

Go out again and bring him in again!

I am sorry.

What is it?

I've brought Tae Sung Construction's President Shin Tae Hwan here.

Investigating Officer Kim Jong Seok.

Yes, Prosecutor?

Who is that beside you?

Tae Sung Construction's President...

I'm not asking about his job,

I'm asking you why is this man here right now?

He is here to be interrogated.

He committed a crime, and he's here to be interrogated,

What do we call such people in criminal investigations?

Yes.

They are suspects.

Then do the introductions again.

Suspect Shin Tae Hwan is here to be interrogated.

The suspect can sit down over here.

Didn't you hear me?

In order to establish the suspect's identity, I'll first ask some questions.

Your name?

Lee Dong Wook!

Your age?

Are you fooling around with me as a prosecutor?

Suspect Shin Tae Hwan,

Do you know what citizen power is?

The country, or public organizations, in order to maintain or promote public welfare,

Can order or enforce the rights of the citizens, that's citizen power.

Up until now, you have been ignoring the law.

You have strongly persecuted many people,

If necessary, even unto death.

Putting people through torture interrogation,

With the power of your money.

Although you have settled every matter using your money,

What is the strength of citizen power?

You have to understand how scary that power is.

I will make you understand it, please be mentally prepared.

For an inexperienced prosecutor, you're sounding big.

Suspect Shin Tae Hwan!

Bring the suspect to the investigation room.

Shin Tae Hwan.

Come on in, Grace.

Mike... Still no news?

Sit down.

Would you like a drink?

No.

To me as well.

They've warned me not to step into Macau in the short term.

Who?

Second brother-in-law who's using the Hong Kong triads as his backing.

Since the eldest son is dead,

According to the ranks, he should be the successor,

And he's fit to do it.

Mike was careless.

Yes.

Because of you,

He got anxious, and that's how things became like this.

I have no ambition for those things.

The one who wants it, is dad.

What would happen without Dong Chul?

Yes.

Lee Dong Chul saved Mike.

That's why I have a favor to ask.

From me?

Yes.

There's high-level intelligence that Tae Sung group is selling Tae Sung Electronics.

Dong Chul wants to have that.

I'll try my best to let him win the tender.

Please help to prepare the funding.

Without your father's support?

Will he agree to it?

He will.

Grace...

Father...

He just wants Dong Chul tied to his side to make use of him at his will.

Grace...

Please...

He is my benefactor who saved Mike twice.

It's better for you not to be found in this room.

That'll be best for everyone.

Is it because there are watching eyes everywhere?

Ahjussi, you don't view me with kind eyes too, do you?

You're an informant.

Yet you're not good with words to win over the other party.

Has Janice agreed to it?

No, not yet.

Even Janice is hesitating, do we still go ahead?

To disobey your father is not the thing to do.

To disobey, is my job.

Lee Dong Chul doesn't have to know about it.

I'll bring you information on the acquisition of Tae Sung Electronics,

Please convey it to Lee Dong Chul.

Since you are an informant, he would believe it if it came from you.

If I did that, you'll be in great danger.

After all, we're kin. What can he do to me?

It's best not to push for the impossible.

If the impossible can bring independence, it's not bad.

He's Lee Dong Chul, after all.

When will he return from Japan?

I don't know.

Ahjussi,

Did you know?

Lee Dong Chul has a new love interest.

Isn't it a business trip?

My father arranged it.

How is the taste of the mixed beef soup?

Is this psychological warfare?

If you think holding your word for 48 hours,

You can just leave here after that, then you're wrong.

Even without your statement,

I don't have any problem arresting you.

You'll be here overnight?

Overnight?

You're afraid to be here overnight?

As you instructed,

People have died in vain several thousand feet underground in the mines.

There are no interrogation platforms nor any torture tools here,

You're still afraid?

What I went through because of you,

Water torture, electric torture, do you know how cruel that is?

Even if I killed you in one swipe, I can't stop the hatred.

Just play your part well, Prosecutor.

Of course, Shin Tae Hwan.

You will encounter more pain than what I, or my brother, or my family went through.

Because all my life, I've been waiting for this moment.

Looking at you today, you resemble me somewhat.

That expression,

Is just like me.

The courage to pierce the world with the hatred built up deep in your heart.

Shin Tae Hwan.

Don't look at me.

You'd better take a look at the detailed list of your banking transactions.

Just these?

So disappointing.

Shin Tae Hwan!

Don't get excited, you inexperienced prosecutor.

You've already lost this game.

It seems that the reason I'm here is to announce this conclusion.

Shin Tae Hwan!

Too little.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hello.

Check-in, please.

- I'm Lee Dong Chul. - Lee Dong Chul?

You mean Lee Dong Chul?

I'm sorry, I can't seem to find that name in our system.

Maybe your wife is on the reservation list?

Well, I'm not his wife.

Anyway, can you please check if the room's reserved under my name Min Hye Rin?

Yes, madam, I will check right away.

Okay.

Ah! It's here. The reservation is under Min Hye Rin's name.

Room number 3101 and 3102.

Thanks!

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You're here.

Kimura!

You're here.

I came right after I compiled the information.

Ah, Kimura, this is Min Hye Rin.

I work under Lee Dong Chul, I'm Kimura.

Nice to meet you. I'm Min Hye Rin from Hansae Daily.

Kimura, let's go.

This is information related to roller press.

Right after getting your notification,

I went to Nishiyama Machine Manufacturing and contacted the manager there.

He's headed overseas for a business trip.

He's only available tomorrow.

Thank you.

This is material you need to read through.

Will we get to meet the manager?

Confidential meeting.

So this information is confidential too?

This information has to stop with you.

Yes, I requested for this too,

I need information on the drying system of the printing machines.

Can you find out?

Kimura, do you have information on the drying system of the printing machines?

I'm not an expert so I can't be certain,

But we did talk about this drying system that's being researched currently.

I see.

I think they have the information you need.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I didn't expect to get all this information.

How others have assessed you...

I don't think it's baseless at all.

Isn't it Shin Tae Hwan's intention to put it up for sale?

Can the other parties reveal their true tender prices to you, Lawyer Choi?

Hey, Lawyer Choi, that'll be great, no doubt.

But aren't you overestimating Tae Sung Electronics?

Yes.

The acquisition price is way too high.

If it's that high right at the start...

How are we going to bargain it down later?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Firstly...

Firstly, the other negotiators...

That's why, other than I,

How many others can acquire Tae Sung Electronics?

Moreover, once I set my mind on it, who will dare to fight me for it?

You go get it.

So adjust the price a little.

Organize the acquisition papers carefully, then come over with it.

Come right now.

Hey, hang up.

This fella, how does he do things?

Father,

We can eat now.

What did you just say?

Let's eat dinner.

Did you really make dinner?

The soup's getting cold, come on.

So tonight we're having a reunion of all soups*, are we?

All the soups are here.

What soup did you make?

Smells great.

Wild vegetable and fried patties.

Bean sprout soup!

You can make this soup too?

Where did you learn it?

But...

Bean sprout soup, where did all the heads go?

You got rid of them all?

You're shrewd all right.

Let's see.

Wow! Tastes great.

It tastes great.

Aigoo, it's true.

Chewing on all those heads will spoil the teeth.

Just chew the stems a little before swallowing and it'll all be digested well.

You did well.

I'm so touched today. My daughter is great.

Then,

What will you give me?

Asking for reward right away, that makes me disappointed.

It seems there's something you want.

Two items.

That's scary.

I...

I want to work at the casino.

What?

Even though you pretend not to know it,

I found out about all that happened in Macau.

Now, it's hard for me to return to Macau.

And,

I also understand why you didn't keep Mike here.

I will stay here and learn how to be your successor,

And I'll take over the casino.

You're all grown up now.

And so,

You won't need Lee Dong Chul anymore.

What?

Give him Tae Sung Electronics. Let him go, father.

I will take over your business.

This child has become shrewd.

Hey, this is like...

You've become President Guk already.

My daughter,

My position cannot to taken over by just anyone.

I am Guk Young Ran.

I, Guk Young Ran, in this world,

I'm the one who resembles you the most.

Why must you be my offspring?

Oh really.

Now I will open my mouth and teach you a trick or two.

I have those slot machines.

What that means is that I have access to funds that are beyond all imagination.

There may come a day your brother, Lee Dong Chul,

Might sit here being interrogated so you'd better listen up.

Slot machine owners,

Can collect many bags of cash in one night.

But that money won't be all kept in a bank.

That's what your brother does as well.

That money is used in illegal bribery?

Your brother too.

Shin Tae Hwan.

Your brother knows this better than I do.

That money,

The politicians love it the most.

Money with no after-effects.*

Your brother must have given out lots of it too.

The land which was changed from greenbelt to residential,

That is the most valuable land in Seoul.

As good as a goose laying golden eggs.

Changing that land to residential,

Did you think that was something to be decided by the Ministry of Construction?

Now you can guess a little what happens.

Don't tell me you're foolish enough to think

that the Seoul government decides on such things.

You inexperienced prosecutor.

That's right.

So no matter how much our Korean public prosecutor desires to execute his sacred mission,

That money...

That money just can't be touched.

So before this night is over,

Try your best to keep me here.

See if I even bat an eyelid.

Right now out there, unimaginable things must be happening already.

You'll soon raise your hands before me.

Such an extremely meaningless game.

Shin Tae Hwan.

You should be interrogating me, yet you don't know what you should ask.

Money that no one can touch,

The significance of that money,

You should ask about that, you inexperienced prosecutor!

Lee Dong Wook,

Not the Seoul government nor the Ministry of Construction...

If I told you it's above that, can you figure it out?

When you left Hwangji, what did you do, Rebecca?

Stop it now.

It's something that can't be stopped, you should know that too.

We're about to lose Tae Sung Electronics, you want me to not take any action?

Losing just the electronics business, will Tae Sung collapse because of that?

There won't be any problems at all!

I will keep this place going.

Forget about the casino and Guk Ja, just take your own path.

Guk Ja,

I'm not preparing to leave this place.

Are you here to see me about Cheon Duk Bo?

Do you know me?

Just take it as you're someone I've kept my eyes on for a long time now.

In the basement study, is there some secret I don't know of?

You're going to have to stop making history at night*.

It's Shin Tae Hwan's order,

He wants me killed again!

Before I die, listen to me carefully.

You're not Shin Tae Hwan's offspring.
