East of Eden

Episode 54

I don't trust these documents.

They're just a group of numbers.

They're not just a group of numbers,

see how much profit there is.

If you cooperate with us

We'll give you all of Tae Sung Hotel's slot machines.

Very well, what are the terms?

But...

You'll have to stop your deal with Lee Dong Chul.

Mr. Lee is a fine partner.

I have my hopes for him.

But you can't on the one hand, trade with me,

And on the other, trade with Lee Dong Chul as well.

As my partner, the first thing you'll have to do

Is break the deal with Lee Dong Chul.

We'll give more Asia Casino shares than what Lee Dong Chul promised.

So long as you desire,

We can also give you 30% more of the Macau Hotel shares.

Slot machines and more shares of the casinos,

Dong Chul Lee is certainly a worthy man.

It's not because Lee Dong Chul is worthy.

My wish is for you to break ties with Lee Dong Chul,

And do business with me instead.

I can't trust your words but it's good to hear that.

In future, there's a lot we can do together.

Let's cooperate well.

Any other conditions?

Since you will break ties with Lee Dong Chul,

How about we put Lee Dong Chul in jail for a while?

Using the drugs in your hands.

Drugs?

President Shin Tae Hwan

I'd never imagine you'd give up Tae Sung Hotel's slot machines.

You're being extremely generous.

Pull out the ladder after one gets to the top.

What?

Draw your enemy up to the rooftop then take away the ladder.

It's one of the military tactics from Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Draw your enemy to the rooftop

Then take away the ladder?

Take away the ladder.

Once Lee Dong Chul is captured at the scene of the drug deal...

What else can he do?

Indeed.

Moreover, it'll be a double-checkmate.

Getting Lee Dong Chul alone is no fun.

We have to take away the ladder from Jacky too.

You're not planning to keep your word with Jacky?

That's too dangerous.

Tae Sung's slot machines...

Why would I otherwise offer it to him so freely?

I have everything under my control.

You should pass the drug deal information

to the Prosecution Office when the time comes.

I intend to leave President Shin Tae Hwan.

He would want me to do that too.

That's why he sent me in there.

Ji Hyun, don't tell me.

You think he sent you to the Detention Center because of me.

The Detention Center was as good as heaven.

If I had persisted, I wonder what curses would have befallen me.

Shin Tae Hwan is just that kind of man.

What I'm worried about is...

You, Dong Wook.

The end of the path you're taking now is clear for all to see.

Dong Wook

You're no longer the person you were before.

No.

I haven't changed.

That's not true.

Be honest, Dong Wook.

Let's be blunt.

You have already fallen apart.

When I was at the Prosecution Office

When you looked at me, your eyes told me.

'Ji Hyun'

'It's all over between us.'

Ji Hyun!

The moment you acknowledged President Shin Tae Hwan as your father,

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook

You might have buried all the past into the ground.

But that's....

Not just your past.

You have to know that you are burying your future too.

Kim Ji Hyun.

Don't talk nonsense.

Aren't you behaving just like them?

In the end, you're siding with Shin Myung Hun and Lee Dong Chul.

Fine.

I don't need this.

I don't need any of this.

Dong Wook.

One last thing

I'll say one last thing.

The bait that Shin Tae Hwan throws at you

Don't swallow all of it.

There'll come a day, he'll throw you poisoned bait.

Please don't say anymore.

Yes.

This is where our fate ends.

We....

Should not have met up again.

Sit.

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, have you been very busy with the investigation?

I've been waiting for your report.

What I'm waiting for never comes...

But something unexpected arrived.

[Secret document on Hwang Gyu Taek's public confession]

Attorney General

Who sent this to you?

It's not important who sent it.

What's important is how much of it is true.

The content is rather comprehensive.

Makes it believable that it's the truth.

That public confession,

I had no prior knowledge, you knew that too, didn't you?

But...

Hwang Gyu Taek...

Why must he name you specifically?

You....

No.

No.

It's lucky that it's only an anonymous letter.

But if the recorded tape arrives one day...

You must be mentally prepared for it.

Lee Dong Chul, How can you do this to me?

You made a promise to me personally,

Yet you tricked me like this!

Prosecutor

We received news that there'll be a big drug deal at Inchon.

That Asia Casino employee...

Let him go.

You mean that Macau guy arrested for suspected drug dealing?

Yes.

If it's a mistake to let him go, will we get into trouble?

I told you to let him go!

What's the use of catching only one guy?

Uproot the whole thing!

We must find and remove the source of the evil.

Tail him. Find out when, where and how!

The drug deal will take place.

Yes.

Mother, mother!

Mother.

What happened?

Again?

Was it Shin Tae Hwan?

I'm alright.

Myung Hun

Ji Hyun, why...?

Dong Chul Oppa.

You said I should return to take my place, right?

I got too used to darkness without realizing I was in darkness myself.

But there was a pair of hands that pulled me,

That's how I could return to the world of light again.

That's great.

You got away from Shin Tae Hwan.

I'm so glad about that.

So Myung Hun...

I can't remain silent anymore.

He even got mother into such a state.

Now someone has to put an end to it, Hyung.

Myung Hun,

Stop thinking about other things now.

No.

If no one will end all this now...

The future...

The next generation will endure the same pains we went through.

Stop.

Stop that, Myung Hun.

Let Shin Tae Hwan go now.

We should have done that earlier.

This ignorant mother has been so stubborn.

The evil that Shin Tae Hwan committed

Let God deal with it.

That's why I'm saying this, Mother.

Someone has to end all this.

It's not just for our family.

A man like him must disappear from this world.

Dong Chul.

Dong Chul.

Mother.

Myung Hun.

Let's talk.

Myung Hun.

I heard you took Ji Hyun's place at the Detention Center.

I was so worried.

But how did you get out?

The Prosecution Chief.

I made a deal to divulge evidence of Shin Tae Hwan's illegal activities.

I see.

But if you did that, would it be too extreme?

Myung Hun.

Every time I think about Father, I can hardly control myself.

But Mother...

Considering Mother's sentiments

Let's forget about revenge.

Mother and you almost lost your lives because of me.

He's a murderer!

As if that is not enough,

He wanted to pin all his own crimes on Ji Hyun and send her to jail.

I can't just let it pass.

But Myung Hun

You know what Mother thinks, right?

Let's just see it as being filial and do what she wants.

Do you understand?

President Shin Tae Hwan.

We can't just let him continue.

Myung Hun is right.

President Shin Tae Hwan is a dangerous person.

Hyung.

Some of Tae Sung's illegal dealings, only the two of us know about it.

That's right.

President Shin Tae Hwan's illegal activities...

I have proof.

I know where President Shin Tae Hwan keeps the illegal documents.

Leave it to us, Hyung.

Alright.

I understand.

But Ji Hyun, Myung Hun...

You mustn't put yourselves in any danger.

Yes.

I'll remember that.

Alright.

This ship belongs to the triad organization which smuggles drugs internationally.

South America, Africa, Spain.

They smuggled millions worth of cocaine.

Our intelligence personnel got these photos after much trouble.

What is the amount approximately?

It's worth more than a few billions.

It came from Spain and it's now docked at the Inchon harbor.

And this...

The Asia Casino employee we released earlier is making the connections.

Did they contact the drug trafficking groups here?

We have yet to ascertain that.

Prosecutor

This man is in charge of the drug trafficking groups here.

We just received this photo.

This man stayed for about an hour on the suspected ship.

He was just at Asia Casino and then to the International Hotel.

His name is Peter.

He's on a work visa, working at the Asia Casino.

Lee Dong Chul applied for the employment pass

As part of the process for drug trafficking.

It's hard to deny that premise.

If we go and search that place now

We might find the drugs there since we just got the tip.

The tip-off is very comprehensive.

Before evidence disappears, we should get a search warrant immediately.

Make it top priority!

Yes, we understand.

Dong Chul.

Dong Chul.

You'd better get to the casino quick.

Did something happen?

Those dealers who got the employment pass

They got into trouble.

I heard some amongst them,

May be trafficking drugs while pretending to work there.

Uncle Chaeng called to say the Prosecution Office is making its move.

Drugs?

Special Investigations of the Seoul Prosecution Office.

We have a search warrant, please cooperate with us.

We are Special Investigations Unit of the Seoul Prosecution Office.

International Hotel Casino representative, Guk Young Ran.

I'm Special Investigations Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

I know you.

You made my father die on the way prematurely.

The wicked prosecutor, right?

This is the search warrant.

Why is there a need for a search warrant?

You are suspected of hoarding drugs so we are here to conduct a search.

Please cooperate with us.

Drugs?

Didn't you make a mistake?

From what we know, there are Macauans here on work visas.

That's correct.

Anyway, since you're here with a purpose

Why be so formal?

Go ahead.

Search the place.

Yes.

- Follow me. - Here, this way.

From what we know, there are 5 on employment pass.

Where's the other one?

He's not working today.

What is his name?

Peter.

What is it you want?

You really think I'd reveal the tape in public?

It's lucky that this is only an anonymous letter.

But if the recorded tape arrives one day

You must be mentally prepared for it.

Officer Jin, did you find anything?

There seems to be nothing in this room.

Prosecutor, we can't find the drugs in the representative's room.

The information must be accurate, so from the rooftop to the basement...

Search carefully until we find it.

Yes, I understand.

Let's go.

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook,

A drug deal?

That is impossible.

Clearly, he was framed.

It we can't find any evidence, he could have been framed.

But the investigation is still on-going so please cooperate with us.

How cruel you are!

If President Guk Dae Hwa had kept the law

Such things wouldn't have happened.

You're saying we deserve this?

I will remember I heard this from you.

But Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, you forgot one thing.

Does Lee Dong Chul look like someone who will break the law by trafficking drugs?

You only remember the good side of Lee Dong Chul.

From what I know

He has already committed the crime.

He delivered the secret funds.

Grace.

Aren't you supposed to wait for me to come?

They came to search the casino.

I can't just sit and do nothing.

Lee Dong Wook.

There's no drugs or such things here.

That photo...

Is that for your feelings?

Were you really hoping to find drugs here?

Isn't it time now for you to take down that thing?

It's also time for you to stop being my father now!

Alright

You're that upset your photo is still hanging in my room?

Answer my question first.

The casino's dirty money has something to do with drug financing.

Did you already know that?

You believe such things?

Alright.

Then let me ask you one thing.

Do you know what happened to me and Mother?

Shin Tae Hwan did something to the brakes of the car we were riding in.

What?

President Shin Tae Hwan

Did something to the brakes?

You want me to believe something like that?

Is President Shin Tae Hwan an idiot?

Someone I once took as my mother

Will he kill her?

As a prosecutor, you don't know to investigate that

But because of personal reasons you�re covering up for him?

Show me the evidence, show me!

You can't believe my words.

You won't believe it!

Then you should go to the hospital and ask our mother lying on a bed there.

Evidence!

Show me the evidence.

Evidence?

Evidence?

More than 'evidence', shouldn't a true prosecutor look for the truth?

A prosecutor who won't believe his mother, what truth is there?

Am I not looking for the truth that�s why I'm standing here before you?

Fine.

Then what about you?

Do you believe in what you heard from me?

I told you not to be the casino successor but did you listen to me?

Hyung, you wouldn't listen to me.

That's why we are meeting under such circumstances.

Such circumstances?

Lee Dong Wook

I've never done anything wrong against you.

Those drug traffickers, you got them work visas.

Listen up, Hyung.

Before we find the evidence

If you know anything, tell me quickly.

I can give you discretionary treatment.

Prosecutor, we found it.

We found it in Peter's locker,

We found the rest of it too.

Well done.

Look again for other evidence.

Yes sir.

You know what this is?

This is the power of evidence.

We were framed.

This is impossible. Impossible!

You're saying Korea's Prosecution Office has framed you?

This drug deal stuff...

It has never ever happened in the history of Asia Casino.

It feels like everything has been set up.

Representative Guk Young Ran!

This was distinctly found in Asia Casino's locker room.

Are you trying to say this is not drug but flour?

Fine.

Then arrest me.

Lee Dong Chul has committed no crime, he doesn't know anything.

Arrest me.

I am the representative of Asia Casino.

So arrest me.

Grace, stop that.

Finally, you're telling the truth to the prosecutor.

You are the representative and the casino is yours.

You bear the consequence.

Investigating officers!

Yes!

Representative Guk Young Ran

You are now under arrest for the suspicion of hoarding drugs.

Lee Dong Wook.

What are you doing?

Didn't you promise me not to touch Young Ran?

Those tapes,

I will give them all to you.

Promise?

Who was the first one to break the promise?

Do it now.

Yes.

Grace

Grace!

Grace!

Lee Dong Wook

What do you think you're doing?

Representative Guk Young Ran will be dealt with according to the law.

Don't worry.

I'll pay special attention to it.

What?

Hello, Ji Hyun.

You've had a hard time lately.

I was just about to send you my lawyer

But they said you'd been released.

Thanks for the thought.

That's why I'm here.

I should at least say a final goodbye.

Father

No

President Shin Tae Hwan

How long did you intend to keep me locked up in jail?

Ji Hyun

Please answer me.

Honestly.

Tae Ho's mother.

Tae Ho's name.

Stop saying that with your mouth.

You made a trip to the Detention Center

And you seemed to have gone mad.

Are you disregarding everything now?

No.

Thanks to the trip to the Detention Center,

I finally opened my eyes.

To your dirty, ugly ambitions trap, that's Kim Ji Hyun.

Dirty, ugly ambitions?

Trap?

Yes.

At some point in time

I started believing I could become a leader even higher up than you.

You dreamt of something you shouldn't have.

I dreamt something I shouldn't have

Now I'm waking up from that dream.

And...

There'll come a day when you're the only one left.

Finally...

There'll come a day when you�ll give up on yourself.

I'll give up on myself?

You mean you want me to go hang myself?

What a frightening curse!

But that kind of curse

Falls back on oneself easily.

Disappear completely before my eyes.

Tae Sung Electronics, I am Shin Myung Hun.

Tae Sung Electronics?

You ungrateful bastard.

Forgetting all the efforts I took to raise you

Wrestling away what I developed, you can still say Tae Sung Electronics?!

Have you seen the prosecutor that is in charge of investigating Ji Hyun?

What deal did you make with him?

That�s right.

If I made a deal, didn't I learn from President Shin Tae Hwan?

Shin Myung Hun!

President Shin Tae Hwan!

Don�t intend to be humane anymore right?

Yesterday you tried to kill my mother and brother by tampering with the brakes.

Don�t you remember this?

You're actually asking leading questions.

What a joke.

Before the grace of raising you disappears, listen up.

Although I don�t know what deal you made with the prosecutor

But no matter what you do,

I have the ability to make you helpless, don�t forget that.

Also...

Whoever dares challenge me, Shin Tae Hwan...

No matter who,

I will not let him off.

Remember that.

I am also like that.

Anyone who tries to harm me and my family,

I will also not let him off.

Till now what more can I learn from Father?

Seeing that you dare say such words to me

You seem to gotten something big.

The family that you love

If you really love Ji Hyun and Tae Ho

Then you better be more clever.

Shin Tae Hwan!

Kid, I�ll let you have a taste of my power.

Key, where did the key go?

Don�t tell me this kid...

Jung Young Tae, call Jung Young Tae!??

It�s done.

This ungrateful bastard.

In order to arrest his father, he actually touched the information.

Darn this...

Don�t tell me I'll fall in the hands of the son I brought up?

What do we do now?

What can we do?

Bring Myung Hun to me now!

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Yes, Sir?

I heard that drugs were found in Asia Casino.

That...

I don�t know if I should congratulate.

The director there, isn�t he your brother?

Oh yes, you are not one who will fail due to personal emotions.

But then,

I am currently investigating the case of those secret funds.

That...

Your father is involved too.

Tae Sung Group�s President Shin Tae Hwan.

In terms of investigating secret funds, you are more skilled than me.

If you have any good solutions, do teach me.

[Seoul, Special Investigations Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.]

Seoul Special Investigatons Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

It�s me.

Why are you always calling?

It�s working time now.

Terrible things have happened.

Myung Hun still wants trouble.

That bastard stole Tae Sung�s confidential information.

What did you say?

This kid intends to harm me.

If that was announced, I, your father will be finished!

You have to help me stop it.

Stop. Don't say anymore!

Mother has come along as well.

Grandmother!

Does it hurt?

No, Grandmother doesn�t hurt.

Seeing Tae Ho, Grandmother is ok now.

Because I was too ashamed

I didn�t dare to come in.

But...

I need to clear my sins.

So I still came.

I am really sorry.

Madam Oh

There is no need to bow in front of me.

I only treated this as an accident.

No

I understand Shin Tae Hwan.

Although I used a long time to see through this person.

You came.

Yes.

It�s here.

Tae Ho.

Before I come back, take good care of Grandmother.

Yes, Dad, go and come back quickly.

Ok.

Mother

Keep Ji Hyun company today.

I will tell you the details when I come back.

Ok, I will.

I am going.

Then I am going, wife.

Take care.

Send them the signal.

Yes.

With the current situation,

I think it�s better to let Young Ran stay in the prosecutor�s office.

Since we are already on bad terms with the Macau side

The deal with Young Ran�s life as a condition will be invalid right?

But Young Ran is the representative of the casino.

Only if the prosecutor is objective, and properly oversee his subordinates.

But by whatever methods, we must have get her out.

I�ll go and see Dong Wook.

For a face to face negotiation.

I am Lee Dong Chul.

Director Lee Dong Chul.

I am Hwang Gyu Taek.

Hwang Gyu Taek.

You seem happy to get my call.

Stop your nonsense.

Thinking of killing me at President Guk�s funeral.

Ok.

I can forgive for the first time, but not the second.

What will happen, we�ll have to wait and see.

Hwang Gyu Taek

If you continue to be like this, you will die in my hands.

Don�t be rash.

There�s someone�s voice you'll be happy to hear.

If you start being rash now, it�ll be no fun.

What?

What do you mean?

Hyung.

It�s a trap, don�t come! Don't!

Myung Hun.

Myung Hun!

Then, let me tell you my conditions.

You kidnap my brother, then...

You want to make a deal with me?

I can no longer stay in this country anymore.

Seeing that I have always been helping President Guk,

I want my retirement fee.

What?

Retirement fee?

Yes. All in U.S. dollars.

But I give you,

Other than Liechtenstein, all hidden overseas...

Secret accounts.

Since the Korean government froze all the accounts,

I can�t take it out as well.

All those secret funds, you won�t lose anything.

Hwang Gyu Taek

Ok.

But you cannot touch my brother.

If you are so worried about him

Then don�t play with me.

Give me the location.

Where?

Incheon, Pier 3. Midnight.

Till then.

Dong Chul.

Uncle.

Uncle don�t bother anymore.

I will settle it myself.

You also know.

He's not one who will disappear after taking the money.

Myung Hun is held hostage, Uncle.

The person you are dealing with is no simple gangster.

It�s not the same with drugs dealers!

So you who works for the government should even less involved in this!

What?

The drugs are being taken down the boat now?

Yes.

Now?

I know.

Was that Officer Jin?

If we want the funds for buying the drugs that came from Asia Casino

The best method is to track the drugs.

Prepare to set off now.

Yes!

I will ask for help from the local police.

Contact the coastal police, don�t let the boat escape.

Got it.

This is taken from Jacky.

Please affirm it.

It�s been hard on you.

President Shin Tae Hwan lives up to his name.

The remaining funds will be brought by Lee Dong Chul.

Please let them know not to worry.

Lee Dong Chul is here.

I think it�s better for me to disappear now.

We�ll see each other in a better place again.

The rest of you wait here.

Hwang Gyu Taek!

Lee Dong Chul, you have come!

Did you bring the money?

Release my brother first.

Myung Hun.

Are you ok?

Hwang Gyu Taek

Is the money ready?

Seems like the amount is not right.

After releasing my brother, the remaining...

Will be given to you.

Release him.

It�s ok.

Well

Here's the information on the overseas account we agreed to.

So you should hand in the remaining half now.

The ability of a casino is indeed different.

In such a short time, you actually managed to get so much American dollars.

So suave.

Brother.

Hwang Gyu Taek.

What is this?

It�s a present.

From me and President Shin Tae Hwan.

A gift.

What?

Hwang Gyu Taek

Lee Dong Chul, you dumb person.

You actually dared to sit on the position of Dae Hwa Group�s Representative?

That is my position!

Walk well, Lee Dong Chul!

This is Special Investigations from Seoul Prosecution Office.

You are surrounded.

Surrender quietly!

Surrender quietly!

Don�t miss anyone, capture them all!

Yes!

Turn back, go back, he's in trouble!

I�m sorry.

I was told we were to escort you home, regardless of the situation.

My brother's in danger!

Prosecutor.

We found this in the confiscated case.

It�s roughly more than 5kg.

Since when did you meddle with drugs?

Dong Wook. This is a trap.

I don�t know about the drugs.

People who are arrested

Always plead innocent.

Lee Dong Wook.

Listen to me.

Shin Tae Hwan and Hwang Gyu Taek kidnapped Myung Hun as a trap!

It�s a trap.

A trap!

These kinds of words

Say it when you reach the prosecutor�s office.

Gather all the evidence.

Take them all back to the office.

Dong Wook.

You must arrest Hwang Gyu Taek!

Arrest Hwang Gyu Taek!

The key is with him.

Arrest him, Dong Wook. Arrest Hwang Gyu Taek!

Dong Wook!

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

President Hwang Gyu Taek?

If you arrest me here,

Then the stand of Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook

who shot to fame due to my confessions will be funny.

Am I right?

Your sworn statements, didn�t include drugs.

Since it�s a sworn statement made after taking your father�s money,

That is enough, what else do you expect?

The person you should arrest is not me, but Lee Dong Chul.

Who are you?!

Lee Dong Chul.

Lee Dong Chul!

Lee Dong Chul!

Lee Dong Chul!

Where is Lee Dong Chul?

You should know where he is hidden right!

Seems like you are drowning in water.

You know what kind of image you have now?

OK.

Officer Kim Jong Suk.

Yes.

Immediately arrest Representative Guk Young Ran.

There is enough evidence from the casino.

Your brother used to love you as though you were part of him.

Now the younger brother is so anxious to arrest his elder brother personally.

He loved you with all his heart.

I know that clearly.

Because of one woman, he also,

abandoned a brother that was so much a part of him.

Immediately contact and send her to the detention center.

And there must be additional careful watch.

Yes sir.

Please get up.

Mister?

What's wrong?

It�s me, let�s go.

There.

Grace.

It�s ok now.

Don�t worry about here. Just go.

Uncle.

There�s no more time. Leave now!

This is Young Ran.

In my life,

The person that I want to be with most.

You must live well.

You both must live well for them to see.

Escaped suspect is Lee Dong Chul, Dae Hwa Group�s Director.

You think you can live just by running away?

This is war!

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, as according to our plan

Is arresting the Macau people one by one.

We better hope that Lee Dong Chul and Jackie are arrested soon.
