East of Eden

Episode 52

Is it Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook?

Yes.

He was overzealous in arresting a patient on the verge of dying.

Now that he's a star prosecutor that the citizens love,

He's become arrogant.

That�s right.

Prosecutor.

We got news, in the Incheon region.

They openly sold drugs to prostitutes.

With investigations into President Guk Dae Hwa�s secret funds,

And tax issue by Dae Hwa Group, but we can't spare anyone.

But...

This time there is one person, who came in from Macau�s violent gang.

That has a connection with the drug organization.

What?

Seems like he got the visa by being an actual employee of the casino.

No matter what, it feels like the tainted money from the casino,

Could have close relations to the funds of the drug organization.

If this is true,

It could destroy both Dae Hwa Group and Macau gang.

A good chance.

Episode 52

Myung Hun

Yes, Mother.

Did I raise my sons well or badly?

All worries me.

I�m so scared.

Hello?

Is this the house of Tae Sung Hotel�s Representative Kim Ji Hyun?

Yes, that�s right.

I am Kim Ji Hyun.

Hello.

This is Choi Jun Ki of Prosecution office in Seoul.

You have to come to the prosecutor�s office by 10AM, you know that right?

Yes.

I know.

Then...

How can you reject GO Group�s Honorary President, who is a court chief?

It�s because he yearns for Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, that�s why he initiated a dinner.

So you better stop dragging this out and be ready to go.

Who was on the phone?

The prosecutor�s office in Seoul.

What?

It�s nothing big.

I�ve already settled things.

You only need to bring the lawyer and say that you don�t know anything.

Say that I don�t know anything?

You have become sensitive recently.

What on earth is happening?

Didn�t you say just find someone and give more money will do?

But why is Ji Hyun asked to the prosecutor�s office?

Ji Hyun. Why didn�t you tell me?

Because now then I know,

It�s no use trying to struggle.

What?

Seems like Ji Hyun is scared.

Don't worry, the lawyer...

The one that I�m scared of, Is not the prosecutor�s office, but Father.

What?

Who is the lawyer helping?

Is it me?

Or is it you, sir?

Ji Hyun you...

I don�t need a lawyer.

Even if I�m at the end of a cliff, I�ll walk myself.

What cliff?

What I am saying,

Don�t you understand?

You should be clear!

Calm down.

Aren�t all these for Tae Sung, for Taeho?

For Taeho?

Taeho.

You and I, we kept insisting it�s for Taeho.

Ok.

Let me speak the truth.

It�s not like that.

No matter if it's me or you, sir, we always say it�s for Taeho.

But that is only a tool that we both use.

Ji Hyun

Let me say it more direct, my real heart,

Truthfully,

I've enough ambition to take down President Shin Tae Hwan and replace him with myself!

Ji Hyun...

Right.

It was for Taeho at first.

But...

I don�t know since when, the idea of me taking over came about.

And I was tempted to be president.

Don�t say anymore.

Recently your nerve has been pretty sensitive.

That�s right.

When I was first asked by the prosecutor�s office,

I also felt as though it was the end of the world.

But that�s nothing big.

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be done with money and power.

Also, if you really want to be the leader,

How can you be when you cannot take such a minor issue?

Does Dong Wook know? Contact Dong Wook...

What are you saying?!

What position is he in and what he is doing!

You think we can trouble him with our family issues?!

Don�t let anyone know, and go secretly.

The lawyer will settle everything.

What instructions did you give the lawyer?!

That you must always keep it a secret from me?

So...

I will go myself.

Ji Hyun, I�ll send you.

I already said it�s none of your business, why don�t you understand?!

Hello?

Is it Ji Hyun?

Father!

Yes.

I am in front of your house now.

Yes?

I will send you to the prosecutor�s office.

Myung Hyun gave me a call.

Why?

What did he say?

Are you still angry at him?

Yes, of course.

I�ll be angry till I die.

The one who forced me into Shin Tae Hwan�s house was Myung Hyun.

To live his life, the one who left me to struggle there,

is also Myung Hun.

Ji Hyun...

You cannot put the blame on others, when it was you who chose the life.

Who is the one that made my life so miserable?

Myung Hun always only considered himself, and his own stand.

Myung Hun changed.

In terms of loving you, loving Taeho...

As Shin Tae Hwan�s son, in taking over Tae Sung as well.

Even...

The fact that he was changed at birth.

It was him who realized it early that with his own power, he could do nothing.

That�s why...

He was able to let go of things he once had, more easily than expected.

Then I�m far.

Till now.

I still think I can do everything.

Tae Ho as well, and Tae Sung too.

You see.

Now I was also considering, going to the prosecutor�s office myself.

There�s no need for you to take everything that you have not done before onto yourself.

Whatever that I have done,

Whatever that I have not done, I also cannot differentiate anymore.

What am I supposed to do now?

Please tell me what to do, Father.

You seem to know the answer already.

You knew it.

But because it was too hard to accept that�s why you are running away that�s all.

Ji Hyun.

Don�t retreat in front of the truth.

You must protect yourself.

Or else,

You will go onto a path of no return.

A path of no return?

At first I thought I was alone in this world.

Thank you, Father!

Ji Hyun.

You must win yourself.

Don�t be scared of the devil that only wants to win.

Must overcome the devil who only wants to win.

You don�t know.

The devil in me is stronger than the kind one.

You cannot enter!

What are you doing here?

Are you feeling regretful that you kicked Tae Sung away just like that?

Or...

You're following Lee Dong Chul's instructions to dig news of Tae Sung?

Ji Hyun, why did you let her go to the prosecutor�s office without any lawyer?

What�s the use of having a consultant lawyer?!

It�s Ji Hyun�s decision.

She said she wanted to settle it herself.

When you got the Iraq project, you had her chauffered around.

And now that she�s of no use, you abandon her?

It�s so like President Shin Tae Hwan!

You are uttering nonsense!

Go out now, I don�t wish to see you at all!

I will go after saying this.

Ji Hyun

Taeho

Don�t touch them.

I can still endure you now,

Because of them, remember that.

This ungrateful child!

Prosecutor, please reveal something! Prosecutor!

I am going to formally arrest President Guk Dae Hwa.

I�m sorry.

I cannot say anything other than that.

Prosecutor!

Do it quickly!

Yes!

Seoul Prosecution's Special Investigations, Lee Dong Wook,

Is here to arrest President Guk Dae Hwa.

Go back.

Go back!

He needs to be sent to the hospital now.

Please leave.

You�ve used all kinds of methods.

The one who can join the ceremony of your taking office,

Why must he enter the hospital only now?

Lee Dong Wook. It�s really urgent now.

Ok

Let�s go to the hospital first and wait for him to wake up!

It won�t be late then to arrest him.

So leave.

Because President Guk Dae Hwa has a record of not coming,

I�m here to arrest him myself.

If you block me,

I can arrest you for hindering the work of a prosecutor.

Take the person!

Yes!

President Guk Dae Hwa.

Lee Dong Wook.

Do you have to do this?

The casino is working so well,

His acting is also so good.

It seems like it is all real, President Guk.

Lee Dong Wook.

Aren't you being unreasonable?

I am doing my job!

No Dad!

You will feel worse talking.

President.

This kind of information,

Can wait till you're at the prosecutor�s office.

Do your work now!

-Yes. - Lee Dong Wook. Wait.

Dong Wook.

Give me 5 minutes of your time before arresting him.

Why?

Only 5 minutes.

Just 5 minutes.

If you are willing to help my son be the big shot of Korea,

I will give you half of Tae Sung�s shares.

Through your sworn statements

Reveal all the illegal activities of Guk Dae Hwa.

Sworn statements?

This concerns the life of Hwang Gyu Taek.

Of course, I'm well aware of that.

But you've already been abandoned by Guk Dae Hwa and Lee Dong Chul.

You will earn the attention of the citizens through these public statements.

And also the chance to start afresh again.

As a deposit, I will give you 5 boxes of cash first.

It�s really wonderful, the fatherly love towards Lee Dong Wook.

Let me repeat.

I am someone who works for the amount I'm paid.

I'll also repeat myself.

As long as you get Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook to be a hero...

What bullshit method are you playing at now?

It was done by President Shin Tae Hwan.

Seems Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook heard his father�s voice clearly.

Keep this now.

Just based on this kind of fake recording,

You want to threaten Korea�s prosecutor?

If I were to send these tapes to people in Korea, what do you think will happen?

In order to make his son a hero,

A prosecutor to receive the attention of the citizens.

By bribing out a confession, the name of Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook and President Shin Tae Hwan,

Will be thrown into the rubbish bin in just one day.

Lee Dong Chul.

Don�t you understand Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook?

Will not give up an arrest because of a threat!

Lee Dong Wook.

Calm down and listen to me.

Shin Tae Hwan will only destroy you by doing this!

This is a way for Shin Tae Hwan to attain his desires by using you!

So you have to leave him.

Or else you cannot become a real prosecutor, a righteous prosecutor!

Then what about Lee Dong Chul who is saying all these?

For what ambition,

Did you get this bribery recording?

Is it a trap to set my death?

Or.

It�s to be top in casinos?

Lee Dong Wook.

Up to you.

If you want to send it to the people of Korea, then send it.

No matter what method used, as long as the sworn statements are true,

It�s not illegal.

You should have known this before, right?

You wasted your money.

Up to you.

Just reveal it to all the people in Korea!

Washing tainted money,

Sending secret funds,

All the things that a low class dog of the casino would do,

I didn�t expect it included this too.

Lee Dong Wook. Wake up!

Since when were you blinded by fame?

You really can�t hear or see anything?!

Up to you!

Ok.

We�ll see.

Who ultimately will stand on the side of truth, we�ll see.

We�ll see.

Till the end,

We�ll see!

Proceed with the arrest now!

Yes.

- Inspector. -Yes?

Let a doctor wait in the investigation room, and prepare for questioning.

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

President!

I�m sorry Dad.

I can�t be your good daughter.

I�m sorry.

President.

Please wait for a while.

President.

You should go on a honeymoon.

Dong Chul.

You must live well.

Yes.

Dad.

President!

I love you both.

Sorry.

President!

Thank you.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

- President! - Dad!

President!

Dad! No!

Hey. Go to the hospital. Quick.

Quick!

Dad!

I asked you to go to the prosecutor�s office, why are you here!

Go back!

Why aren�t you stopping?

Dad!

What are you doing, bastard!

Let go. What do you want?

Let go, let go!

Lee Dong Wook.

You hit me?

You dare to hit Korea�s prosecutor?!

Lee Dong Wook.

Through your sworn statements

Reveal all the illegal activities of Guk Dae Hwa.

Sworn statements?

This concerns the life of Hwang Gyu Taek.

Of course, I'm well aware of that.

But you've been abandoned...

Yes, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Is it true?

Is it true that the statements were bought with money?

Dong Wook

Director Hwang's open declaration itself contains the truth,

We just have to destroy the tapes, that's all.

You mean my word is not the truth, Prosecutor?

Calm down, Dong Wook!

Director Hwang's secretary was bought by Lee Dong Chul and betrayed him.

Calm down. Recklessness will cause you to lose out.

We just have to destroy the tapes in Lee Dong Chul's hands, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Stop calling me a prosecutor!

Now, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is all finished.

What?

Finished?

Putting Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook high up on a pedestal,

If Hwang Gyu Taek's statements were bought,

My life as a prosecutor, the life of Lee Dong Wook will be all finished.

Do you understand now?!

Control yourself, Lee Dong Wook!

Control yourself and listen to me carefully.

We can't sit and wait for death.

Look straight into my eyes.

You are my son.

You are Shin Tae Hwan's son.

Shin Tae Hwan's son cannot lose out to Lee Ki Chul's son.

We can do it!

We can win!

This is the final battle.

Either Lee Dong Chul dies or you die.

It's one of the two!

You choose.

You die or Lee Dong Chul dies.

Just like when he fought against me, Lee Ki Chul lost the fight.

If you two fight, my son has to be the winner.

What did Lee Ki Chul leave behind?

Aside from revenge and hatred, what else?

But I lived and created Tae Sung.

And I'm leaving for my son, a Tae Sung which I'm proud of.

So you make sure you live too.

Live...

And in my place, fulfil all the dreams I didn't get to fulfil.

What about the tapes?

If they are exposed...

It's all over for me.

You don't have to worry about the tapes.

I'll settle that, understand?

No, I can't trust you anymore.

I will protect myself.

'I will protect myself'?

That's it.

What I've wanted all along, is exactly that domineering spirit in you.

Make use of Guk Young Ran.

Guk Young Ran is Lee Dong Chul's Achilles's heel.

That's right.

The overseas gangs headquartered in Macau,

Are planning to get rid of Guk Young Ran after President Guk's death.

But Lee Dong Chul, in order to save Guk Young Ran's life,

Seems to have made some kind of agreement with them.

Profits from Dae Hwa group was supposed to have been distributed to the various factions.

The Macau side,

Gets a significant share of the casino.

In exchange for Guk Young Ran's life.

It is a dangerous agreement.

Investigating Officer Jin, did you check things out?

Yes, prosecutor.

Some days ago, an Asia Casino employee entered Korea from Macau.

It's likely he is related to drug dealing.

Is that so?

Yes. What shall we do?

Let's get the warrant for arrest and bring him in.

Yes, I understand.

Prosecutor

This is the material on Asia Casino you wanted.

I checked all the problems.

During the time Guk Young Ran was running the Asia Casino,

Their method of paying out foreign exchange with Korean won has violated the regulations many times.

Find out if we missed anything else, continue close monitoring on the casino's moves.

Yes.

Prosecutor

Madam Oh Yun Hee called.

She said it has something to do with Kim Ji Hyun.

Is that so?

And also.

Reporters here at the Prosecution Office sent these questions for the interview.

You must attend the interview tomorrow.

Show me.

Ms. Kim Ji Hyun.

Do you know what this is?

In the 1988 Olympics, you were the representative of Tae Sung Hotel.

In the process of appointing the hotel by the Olympic Committee,

There was a bribe sent to the second man in power at that time, General Park.

Political funds disguised as a bribe.

During the 1988 Olympics?

Please look carefully at detailed amounts going into General Park's pseudo account.

Tae Sung Hotel's Diretor's name, date, amount.

What is this all about? Please explain to me.

Prosecutor.

Am I being questioned now about matters during the 1988 Olympics?

Otherwise?

I thought....

The investigation is on tax evasion for Iran's big-scale project.

Aside from that,

We received an anonymous letter on the 1988 illegal activities.

Anonymous letter?

Kim Ji Hyun. Let's continue with the investigations.

You don't have to worry.

I've already arranged everything.

You just have to go with the lawyer and tell them you don't know to every question, that's all.

Looking at the date when transactions started going into General Park's account,

That was the same time when Kim Ji Hyun met with General Park at Tae Sung Hotel.

In the afternoon, the next day,

From the dinner bill with the General and statements from related sources,

It has been established without a doubt.

From that day onwards, regular sums of money were transferred into the General's account.

Of course, all the money,

Comes from your hotel slot machines.

Is that correct?

Use whatever tricks or methods, we must lay our hands on Lee Dong Chul.

The original list no doubt.

Including copies of the tapes.

We must get back everything with nothing missing.

No matter how illusive he is,

Can he not be concerned about the woman whom he loves?

We must go there, this night.

President Shin Tae Hwan.

Tonight, we will attack.

How can it be so simple?

What kind of a man is Lee Dong Chul? Don't you know him very well?

I'll head to the hospital myself.

President!

Guk Dae Hwa and I, our fates are linked.

Isn't it reasonable for me to light an incense for Guk Dae Hwa's final journey?

I'll go to the hospital to probe for clues.

You wait outside.

Once I give the word,

You should go and meet them.

Indeed, you're someone who leads a big enterprise.

Extremely meticulous.

If we don't catch Lee Dong Chul this time,

it's over for me and Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

If that happens, Director Hwang, you have to die with me too.

Yes, I know that very well.

Tonight, we mustn't make any mistake.

On Guk Dae Hwa's final journey,

With his right arm around his daughter,

And his left arm, on Lee Dong Chul. They all go together.

Once this is done,

I'll have no other desires.

How are things out there?

We're all fully prepared.

But we still feel very uneasy.

This location is fully exposed.

They may be disguised as people paying condolences and bash in here.

We'll just have to act accordingly.

Dok Sa.

We'll let them think they can see us clearly.

That's the safest thing to do.

We'll behave like Zhuge Liang*

Let's try to use the wind.

Sir.

What's up, Jacky?

Mr Lee, I thought we had an agreement on legal residency, didn't we?

That's right.

Then what?

My men in your casino, have been taken in on a charge of drug smuggling without any reason.

What?

Your men in my casino were taken even though their hands were clean?

Isn't this just another one of your scams?

Scams?

Yes. But your brother, Mr Dong Wook Lee, was in charged of this.

I want you to stop him. Order your brother to free them immediately.

No, I can't.

He's your brother.

That is the reason why.

Then what about our agreement? This cannot be ignored.

If the Korean Prosecution tries to restrict us without any reason, I won't sit back.

Then?

Then our agreement with Mr Guk's daughter, is over.

If you don't want that, you'd better do something.

I mean it.

-That's Jacky, right? -Yes.

Lee Dong Wook.

What are you doing here?

A summon.

What?

Must you chase me all the way here to give me a summon?

This is not a summon for Lee Dong Chul.

Guk Young Ran.

What did you say?

What did you just say?

What did Young Ran do?

We'll find that out with the investigation.

What kind of a man was President Guk Dae Hwa?

You should know that better than me.

His daughter now inherit's all her father's illegal tax evasion.

Illegal bribery, sitting in the position as the casino's representative.

Don't you know what that means?

Once the funeral is over, Guk Young Ran will be summoned for investigations.

-Lee Dong Wook! -But

Lee Dong Chul's cheap....

No,

Since I know that Lee Dong Chul's love...

Is so very precious to him,

That's why I'm giving prior notice.

What is it you want now?

Those tapes?

Dong Wook.

It's as if I'm looking at Shin Tae Hwan right now.

Lee Dong Chul is taking me as Shin Tae Hwan's son and wanting revenge, isn't it?

The one who's digging a trap and trying to bury me,

How come it's you?

Although you said I've changed,

Hyung, too, You're not someone I recognise.

Tell you the truth, I...

I've lost faith in you.

Is that why you're here personally with the summon?

Did you think I'd be sitting and waiting to die?

Before that, I'll catch everyone.

With Lee Dong Chul and Guk Young Ran as head of the pack.

The whole casino gang.

I'll catch them all.

Alright.

That's fine.

Do as you wish. But.....

Don't touch Young Ran.

I can forgive everything, that's the only thing I can't forgive.

Forgive?

I didn't want to become your enemy.

But the problem doesn't lie with me.

We'll see how you decide.

Dong Wook.

Did you think I'd really....

Expose those tapes in public?

Did you really think that I'd remove Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook's uniform?

Alright.

Fine.

Those tapes.

I'll give you every last one of it but....

You mustn't touch Young Ran.

After all, I'm the one in charge of the casino now.

After the funeral, I'll report to you personally.

This is not a bad deal.

And one more thing.

The folks from Macau.

Let them go.

I'll think about it.

Aigoo, and who is this?

Isn't this my son, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook?

He's so busy with national matters, of course he has to hurry off.

Shin Tae Hwan.

How dare you come here?

Lee Dong Chul.

You totally lack manners.

I'm here to light an incense to send President Guk on his final journey.

How can you chase away someone here to pay condolences?

Secretary Jung, which hall is it?

You must be really sad.

The country has lost a star.

I'm extremely sad too.

Your face is so haggard.

Leaving behind such a pretty daughter,

President Guk must have left feeling ill at ease.

Please leave.

Representative Lee Dong Chul, the burden on your shoulder is heavier now.

If you want Dae Hwa group to be solid as a rock...

I want you to leave now.

Thinking about it now, Dae Baek has produced quite a few characters.

My son, Lee Dong Wook, star prosecutor.

His fake brother, Lee Dong Chul, Dae Hwa group's Director Lee.

Leave right now.

Lee Dong Chul.

Let me give you a word of advice.

Fulfilling President Guk's dying wish to inherit Dae Hwa group is not being faithful.

President Guk's lonely journey.

You should go accompany him.

Now that's true faithfulness, isn't it?

You'll scare the other people here, what are you doing?

They say status makes the man.

Looks like representative Lee Dong Chul is the exception.

Work hard now.

We're all ready. We can move in any time.

They must have made their own preparations too, But we have more people so we'll win.

Attack ten minutes later.

I understand.

Let's go.

-What is it? -Listen to me carefully.

The situation is critical now, you have to leave right away.

I'm not afraid of dying.

-If we have to run away, you go by yourself. -Guk Ja!

Dok Sa,

-Are we ready? -Yes, we're ready.

Do what I say.

That's Lee Dong Chul, after him!

Another one there!

Get in the car!

Go after them!

Hurry!

Leave quickly.

I'll settle things here and come soon.

Be careful.

Grace, hurry.

What is it?

Get on.

It's about your father, Shin Tae Hwan.

Only I know about this.

HK Bank, 4th treasury.

Even if I get reincarnated a thousand times over

I won't find that kind of person again

Someone who warms my sad life

Someone who makes me eternally grateful

For someone like you

No matter how my heart hurts

Even if I can't confess my love

So long as I can watch you like this from afar

I'd give up everything to love you

Even with sadness, I'm happy

First time in my life, my heart is moved

I won't find that kind of person again

You've been quietly kept in my memory for a long time

My only love

For someone like you, I can bear all the painful tears

Even if I can't confess my love

So long as I can watch you like this from afar

I'd give up everything to love you

Even with sadness, I'm happy

I won't ask for anything

So long as you smile, I'd be happy

Live well.

Because love is sacrificial, without complaint

Young Ran, you too.

Even with sadness, I'm happy

I love you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

How long has it been since I last saw my daughter's dance moves?

I'm Guk Dae Hwa.

My father is Guk Dae Hwa.

A casino kingpin.

Dong Chul.

I need you to protect Young Ran.

Now, no one who will scold me anymore.

From now on, in place of your father, I'll be by your side.

Ji Hyun hasn't been back until now.

Suspect Kim Ji Hyun.

You're under arrest.

This is not my guilty conscience.

It's my love.

If you want to rescue Myung Hun, Then you must do as I say.

Shin Tae Hwan has kidnapped mother.

Come over immediately.
