East of Eden

Episode 55

Yes.

We'll leave this place.

We'll go as far away as we can.

Really?

Yes.

A place where there's only the two of us.

Grace.

Before we leave, we have to go someplace first.

A suspect is on the run, his name is Lee Dong Chul, chairman of Dae Hwa Group.

For his detailed resume, please refer to notes from the Prosecution Office.

Please conduct a country-wide search to arrest him.

Airports and harbors.

Please focus your personnel there to prevent them leaving the country.

Prosecutor,

do we head for the Prosecution Office now?

No.

If Lee Dong Chul plans to escape,

there are two places he will surely go.

Episode 55

Myung Hun.

Myung... Myung Hun!

Who... who did this?

Is it Shin Tae Hwan again?

We'll fall into his trap again,

is that right?

Mother,

I'm going to completely destroy Tae Sung.

The Tae Sung Group that grandfather developed,

I will destroy it completely.

But...

without your agreement,

I can't do it.

Tae Sung Group's Shin Tae Hwan committed so many illegal crimes,

I will reveal them all in public.

We cannot live forever under the shadows of President Shin Tae Hwan.

It's for Tae Ho's sake, too.

It's the best thing to do.

Myung Hun,

do as you want.

That will be for Tae Sung's good,

And for our own good too.

I believe in that.

Discuss it with Ji Hyun.

Keun oppa.

Dong Chul.

What is it? Did something happen?

Jung Ja...

Yes, Hyungnim?

Mother.

I'm here.

Are you alright?

What happened?

Looking at you two

it feels like you're being pursued.

Mother.

For a period, Mother, I'm afraid I can't see you.

So we're here to get your blessings.

So you're planning to go far away.

Mother, she's Young Ran.

She's the one I'd like to spend my life with.

You...

You've persisted for so very long, now finally you're telling me.

Is she one who's forever unattainable,

that's why you've been watching from afar?

You always place your own matters at the back.

You always put others first, you silly boy.

Cherish and cherish again,

only now, you're bringing her to see me?

Mother, I'm sorry.

I think you must be under pressure.

Now, whether I agree or not, it doesn't matter.

Mother...

At least we must get your blessings.

I'm sorry, Mother.

We should have come to tell you this much earlier,

But one thing after another, we only managed to come now.

You're quite silly, too.

You like, yet you won't tell, that's your personality.

That's just like me.

Mother.

See how gaunt you look.

You've really lost weight.

What a lovely face, but only half of it is left.

If you're this skinny, will you be able to bear many children?

Dong Chul.

Yes, Mother?

Live well.

You must be happier than anyone else.

Yes.

We will.

We will surely live happily, Mother, please don't worry.

My Dong Chul,

can you firmly believe in him?

Yes, Mother.

It's over there.

Please get out of the way.

We are here to arrest Lee Dong Chul and Guk Young Ran.

Hey,

are you Lee Dong Wook?

Dong Wook.

Please give way.

Dong Wook.

The mother who brought you up is lying on a bed inside here.

Give way!

Dong Wook.

Don't do this.

Seeing that you send investigating officers in here to catch your own brother,

how would your mother feel?

Go and arrest them.

- Yes. - Yes.

Where are you going?

Prosecutor, he's not there.

He could have left before we got here.

Let's move quickly, he couldn't have gone far.

Yes, we understand.

Dong Wook.

You're not seeing your mother before you go?

Prosecutor!

We have put out a nation-wide search warrant for Lee Dong Chul and Guk Young Ran.

Yes, are there reports from the police?

Well, not yet.

Since they're fleeing by car,

increase the road spot checks,

and give special instructions to put up their photos at petrol stations all over.

Also, we've contacted the Immigration Department to stop them from leaving the country.

Increase especially spot checks at the Kangwondo Daebaek area.

Yes.

That is Lee Dong Chul's hometown, so there's a high chance he's headed there.

Any development with the Asia Casino?

We're in touch with the Narcotics group, trying to capture them now.

Don't let the Macau gang escape on smuggler's boats.

Tell the navy patrol to increase their surveillance.

Our hunch is the overseas gangsters are hiding in the Incheon Chinatown.

Mobilize all are investigating powers.

We must make a clean sweep of Jackie's gang.

For Lee Dong Chul's whereabouts,

keep watch over his neighborhood and people around him.

In order to get away, he could have sought the help of Father Han.

Please let him be followed as well.

Yes, we understand.

Hello everyone. I'm from Seoul's Prosecution Special Branch, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

The Seoul Prosecution Special Narcotics Department

recently smashed a smuggling group from Hong Kong Macau,

which was an all-new distribution network for drugs.

The Prosecution Office intends to arrest all group members to put our citizens at ease.

[Proclamation of war on drugs]

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is acting according to our plan,

catching every one of the Macau gang of people.

So long as we catch Jackie next,

our deal with him will be off.

Then we won't have to transfer Tae Sung Hotel's slot machines to him.

To be able to catch the illusive Macau gang, that's extraordinary ability.

The head of the Asian triad, Jackie,

will soon be arrested too, it seems.

That's just a matter of time, isn't it?

Amongst all crimes, drug-related ones are the hardest to crack, everyone knows that.

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook's reputation is towering now.

Of course, behind that is President Shin's great care.

And who knew about that?

Anyhow, my Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook...

I paved the path for him to be successful, and indeed he performed well.

I like him.

He's my son, after all.

Now that Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is successful,

we've got the situation under control.

Shouldn't we sort out our shares now, President?

Sort out our shares?

You agreed to give me half of Tae Sung's shares.

Hey, Director Hwang.

Everything's not over yet, what's this nonsense?

Have we gotten rid of Lee Dong Chul?

Earlier, your public declaration was revealed to be lies.

If only you handled what could have been ended quickly.

I had to clean up after you,

what nonsense are you saying?

So.

Now you're putting on an act?

You should pray that Lee Dong Chul and Jackie get captured quickly.

But why is it Jung Kyung Tae is not here yet?

We'll be late even if we leave now.

President.

President Shin Tae Hwan!

But...

Lee Dong Chul, that jerk, where could he have escaped to?

Father.

She's mine.

She's the one who will become your eldest daughter-in-law.

She's more precious than my own life.

So Father, you have to be like me...

No,

you have to love her even more than I do.

Do you hear me?

Father...

I'm one who can't even help to tie Dong Chul's shoelaces,

a child with nothing.

Even so, if you would accept me,

I'll try my best,

with my whole life,

to love him.

Wow!

What lovely snow!

Ahjussi...

Is this what happiness is?

Sound of birds,

beautiful snow,

fresh air,

and...

the two of us together.

Is this happiness?

I have something to confess.

Confess?

Yeah.

I'm hungry.

- So hungry. - I'm hungry too.

Who is that?

Give me the legs.

- Legs? - Yeah.

I ate up all the legs.

For squids, the legs are the best part.

You sure know the best part.

Eleven of our men were taken in.

Why are they targeting our people suddenly?

We should get rid of Mr. Lee, the one in charge,

to show our power.

No.

No, Jackie, no.

It's too risky to mess with the DA's office.

It's like...

it's like playing with a beehive, you know.

Eliminating Lee Dong Wook,

will not stop this investigation

that's already in progress.

Then it's war!

Stop him, by any means necessary!

Boss.

I know how to stop him once and for all.

Please, allow me to have one more chance.

I'll take care of this.

Lee Dong Chul will have no other choice

but to stop his own brother's aggression towards us.

Grace.

Get up.

Get up.

There's a spot check.

Prosecutor!

At the Yeongwol spot check, Lee Dong Chul abandoned his car and fled into the hills.

Was Guk Young Ran with him too?

Yes.

It seems the two of them were together.

Let's see how much longer you can last.

You think it'll all be fine if you escape?

Anyone here?

Hello.

Do you have rooms?

Yes, we do.

Well, today we just suddenly...

We're here on our honeymoon.

Ah! Come on in.

We have a beautiful room just for newlyweds.

Yes.

Wow!

Not bad.

Grace...

What's this?

Where would you like to go?

We're not a real married couple, you know.

But earlier you told ahjumma we're here on our honeymoon.

That's because I was afraid she would misunderstand.

Misunderstand what?

Anyway I...

I'm not Lee Dong Chul's bride.

Not yet.

Yes, you're not.

Not yet.

Now, where shall we go?

I'm heavy, put me down.

Where shall we go?

Guk Ja.

Can I tell you something?

When we first met in Macau...

When you held the ladle* and talked about your pure 19**...

Do you know what I thought at that time?

This person...

Could she be the one I was waiting for my whole life?

That's what I thought about.

Then why did you pretend otherwise?

Because you were too pretty.

What a pity! To have wasted our love.

Who says it's a pity?

Did you forget so quickly?

To us, a day is like a thousand years.

A thousand years is like a day.

Things already past

Please forget it all

To bear it all by yourself must be so painful

I'm really very sorry

Things yet to happen

Please don't think about it

Just let this moment now

For a long while

Remain

Not again, not again

Let's not love like this again

Even if this whole world

Cannot be exchanged for this heart

Even if little by little

Everything will be forgotten

Only this more and more passionate love

Remains in my heart

Not again, not again

Let's not love like this again

Even if this whole world

Cannot be exchanged for this heart

Even if little by little

Everything will be forgotten

Only this more and more passionate love

Remains in my heart

Where are you going?

You're awake?

I wanted to show you my beautiful look.

You're pretty anyway.

Guk Ja, you're pretty all the time.

Nauseating.

But, it does make me happy.

Grace.

Do you know what day it is today?

What day is it?

Our...

Lee Dong Chul and...

Grace's wedding day.

It's me.

Where?

Kangwondo.

Seon Rung.

Got it.

I will rush over now.

You all just have to watch well.

If we do things anyhow, we'll lose out to Lee Dong Chul.

Don't let him find out, you must watch carefully.

Boss, I'm out to settle some things.

I'll be keeping my eye on you.

If you can't bring him in,

get rid of him.

And one more thing, Boss.

I will not disappoint you this time.

I swear.

Live well.

Young Ran, too.

I, Lee Dong Chul,

am willing to take you as my wife.

And swear that no matter what,

happy or sad,

may it be healthy,

or sick,

I will love you, respect you.

I, Guk Young Ran,

am willing to marry you as my husband.

And swear that no matter what,

happy or sad,

may it be healthy,

or sick,

I will love you, respect you.

This is an affinity given by God.

It's not something that can be separated by human's force.

Father.

Sorry to have let you come so far for us.

And also, thank you very much.

No, Dong Chul.

To me, it's a very happy day today.

Being able to hold your wedding.

Being able to fulfill such a role.

This is really too happy, so I want to say...

have a good life.

Yes, Father.

You must live well.

Yes, Father.

Father.

I will call you again.

Oh, Grace, wait for me for a while.

I'll go and return the clothes first.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Excuse me, but can I use your phone for a while?

Yes, here it is.

Thank you.

Hello?

Myung Hun, it's Hyung.

Hyung.

Is everything alright at home?

Are you alright?

The police came before.

Yes.

I thought of this before.

How is mother?

Don't worry about mother.

If Hyung calls,

don't worry about mother, you should take care of your body.

Mother wants me to tell you this.

Myung Hun.

When hyung is not around, you must take good care of mother.

Hyung.

I...

will declare the unlawful acts of Shin Tae Hwan today.

Shin Myung Hun.

Not now.

You are in danger yourself.

And we don't know if Shin Tae Hwan will do anything more.

So Myung Hun, wait till hyung comes back.

No.

In the battle with Shin Tae Hwan,

I am also involved.

This time... it's my turn.

I want to end it myself.

Okay, then.

If you have already decided, then let it be.

But you must be careful.

You cannot have any accident.

Because from today onward, mother will depend on you.

You understand me?

Actually I...

don't know what will happen, during what time and where.

Yes.

Hyung.

You...

must come back safely.

I will wait for you.

Okay, Myung Hun.

I'll call again.

Let go!

- Let go! - Grace.

Grace! Grace! Grace!

Ahjussi!

- Ahjussi! Ahjussi! - Grace!

Grace.

Grace!

Grace!

Grace! Grace!

Grace!

Grace!

Quick.

I am Lee Dong Chul.

Dong Chul?

We agreed not to touch Young Ran.

You promised me before!

You're the one that broke it first.

Release Young Ran.

Okay.

I will go in her place.

So call and tell them to release Young Ran.

Quickly tell them to release Young Ran!

You seem to be pretty desperate.

I'm warning you.

Don't touch Young Ran.

If Young Ran is hurt anywhere,

I will not let you off.

I will really kill you all.

You should have listened to me.

I have a request.

Okay.

Say it. What is it?

Quick.

Dong Wook Lee took my men.

Tell him to let every one of them go, including Peter.

What?

If you don't, I will take her life.

If you want to save her,

do as I say.

Jackie.

Jackie! Jackie!

You look really handsome.

All the way.

I'll wait for you.

I will wait for you.

I'm going.

[Shin Myung Hun, Declaration of Conscience, Press Conference]

What is this?

What is this kid doing?!

Shin Myung Hun's using the confidential documents he stole from the company

to do a declaration of conscience.

Declaration of conscience?

Just the amount of secret funds that I know Tae Sung has...

is a really large figure.

The dates of doing illegal acts or escaping from the law,

as well as the actual information on meddling with the accounts...

are all here.

Shin Myung Hun, you deserve to die.

You are courting death.

Switch it off now!

Damn it.

Shin Myung Hun is crazy.

This kid is scarier than Lee Dong Chul.

This kid actually dared to stab me, Shin Tae Hwan, in the back.

Will I wait for death?

You!

Yes?

Call Cheongwadae* and the Financial Supervisory Service now.

Call and tell them!

I, Shin Tae Hwan, will go and see No. 1 personally.

I understand.

I'm guilty.

That there are secret funds built through my hands,

and that, through my hands,

they were given to the political power holder.

The founder of Tae Sung Group, dead President Oh Young Sok once said,

cleansing the company is like cleansing the society.

That is also

cleansing the country.

Playing with numbers to cover up and create accounts,

and creating a company with good results,

- will definitely go into doom. - Even if Shin Tae Hwan is my enemy,

but seeing my own son...

revealing the bad points of a father,

is still heart wrenching.

I don't blame Myung Hun.

Even if he has to destroy Tae Sung,

if that is the right thing to do,

he will have to do it.

I am only

hoping that Director Shin Tae Hwan

will never again

continue to commit crimes.

I...

That is to say,

from the time in Hwangji,

I have been envious of Mrs. Director.

Don't call me Mrs. Director anymore.

In the future,

I don't want to hear this kind of thing anymore.

No.

I don't have the right to hear it anymore.

My life...

is like the coal from a coal mine.

It's always black, and the front cannot be seen.

To me, Mrs. Director...

is someone from another world.

When I gave birth in the hospital,

because I didn't have the money to pay for the medical bills,

when I was bargaining,

Mrs. Director was sitting on a plane

transferring to the hospital in Seoul.

That time...

The children that we gave birth to...

are Myung Hun

and Dong Wook.

That's right.

Our Myung Hun.

If he had grown up in my hands, he would have suffered.

Thank you for raising him so well.

You helped me, for Dong Wook,

to raise him to be so good, didn't you?

I should be the one thanking you.

Really, thank you.

How's your body?

It's better.

I feel better today.

I thought that by telling you good news, you would recover, so I came.

Good news?

Dong Chul and Young Ran

have just gotten married.

Really?

They are really compatible, a wonderful pair.

Since they were going to get married,

then we should have,

when everyone was still around...

It would have been so good to receive everyone's blessings.

- Dong Wook. - Father.

The investigator followed Father

but was lost.

By losing our investigator,

where did you go?

Father will not say any lies,

so please tell the truth.

Guk Young Ran and Lee Dong Chul,

where did you let them escape to?

- Dong Wook! - Mother, don't say anything.

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Which side are you standing on?

Mine,

or Myung Hun's?

I am a prosecutor that upholds the law and justice!

But no one is standing on my side.

Dong Wook.

Yes, Father?

Do you really think Dong Chul is guilty?

Must you attack Dong Chul like you treat the other criminals?

I am really disappointed in Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Please take care.

Dong Wook.

You...

are chasing after your hyung, is it true?

So from the hospital,

to Father Han,

you have been watching?

Rascal!

No matter what kind of deadly crime your hyung committed,

is it right for you to chase after your hyung?

What kind of a person is your hyung, you actually went to chase after him?!

Mother.

You've thought wrongly.

Everyone is the same.

Man, to fame, wealth and success.

In front of these, everyone is the same!

No matter if it's Lee Dong Chul or Shin Tae Hwan.

They are not any different when they are in front of the world's desires!

Rascal!

You actually dared to, in front of mother's face,

say that Shin Tae Hwan is the same as Lee Dong Chul?!

Look at yourself, Mother!

A few days ago,

you were still saying not to curse Shin Tae Hwan.

But you've changed fast.

Shin Tae Hwan's sins,

you also mentioned to leave them to the gods.

But in your heart you still treated him as an enemy that you cannot forgive for life!

So Lee Dong Chul is now on the

verge of committing a sin just to take revenge on Shin Tae Hwan!

You know what Lee Dong Chul did?

He was trading drugs, and was caught.

What are you saying?

Your hyung

was trading drugs, and you believe it.

Didn't you have any feelings when Shin Tae Hwan wanted to kill me?

Don't you believe that your mother and hyung escaped from death?!

Your mother is lying in the hospital because of that!

Mother.

Rascal. Rascal.

Your hyung.

Your hyung, he...

no matter what happens,

will never be one who harms you,

but only protects you, you rascal!

Dong Wook.

Dong Wook.

I'm sorry.

You are my son,

but I cannot give you a mother's love.

But...

I always wanted to hug you.

Every time I see you,

when I call your name,

I always want to hug you.

This is from my heart.

Sorry.

Forgive Mother.

Dong Wook.

I once said this to Ji Hyun.

People, because they are stupid,

even to the person they love the most,

they cannot express that love properly.

Dong Wook, you have so much love in your heart.

It's just that you cannot express it right,

that's why you are living in hell.

This is Seoul's Prosecution Office.

Alright.

Prosecutor, please take the call.

I am Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

It's me.

Where are you?

Let's meet now.

Where!?

You must promise to come alone.

Okay, I got it.

Dong Wook.

Insulting a prosecutor, running away,

why have you come back yourself?

I have a favor to ask you.

No,

it's not a favor, it's my bad thinking.

Young Ran has been kidnapped by Jackie.

Is kidnapped by Na Gang Won.

So?

Kidnapping the suspect that is being sent,

what do you want me to do?

Dong Wook.

Don't touch Macau Jackie's people anymore.

What?

And the people you captured together with Peter,

can you release them all?

Hyung, are you mad?

Yes, I also know.

But I have to save Young Ran first. Then...

Dong Wook.

Then I will do anything you ask me to.

Just for that cheap love

you want me to release the drug criminals,

and turn Korea into a country with no rules?!

Dong Wook, I...

I've thought it out.

We'll release Jackie's people first, then after saving Young Ran,

we can just plunge into their old place.

They have a secret meeting place like a villa.

If we go there, we can capture everyone.

So, it'll be enough if you and me can come up with a plan.

To do a plan with me.

Lee Dong Chul.

You are a suspect that is being warranted.

That...

Dong Wook.

Save Young Ran.

Save Young Ran first.

We must rescue Young Ran first,

then I will do anything you want me to.

So I beg you.

Okay.

I will go and save her.

But...

That is an issue of Korea's police.

Don't think that everything will be solved if you appear.

Hyung is not God.

You're just a suspect.

Dong Wook.

I beg you.

If you are late, Young Ran might die!

Okay.

I promise you.

Once you save Young Ran,

I...

I will own up myself.

I promise.

Really promise.

Promise?

Promise?

Promise?!

I don't believe your promise.

Take it back now.

Dong Wook.

Hyung is married.

Young Ran and I...

got married.

So Young Ran is now our family.

It's like you and mother, people that I must protect no matter what.

Dong Wook, I beg you.

It's really the last time.

It is hyung's bad thinking.

Okay.

I'm being too forceful.

That's right...

I'm sorry.

Hyung.

Wait.

I cannot let hyung go like that.

Thank you, Dong Wook.

Really, thank you, Dong Wook.

Dong Wook.

Lee Dong Chul.

Now I'm arresting you, for being suspected of smuggling drugs.

Long time no see, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

You are indeed Shin Tae Hwan's son.

To Shin Tae Hwan, what is Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook?

Until when do you intend to let me be your puppet?!

I knew Ahjussi would come.

No matter where you are,

I can always find you.

No, Dong Wook!
