East of Eden
Episode 35
Please follow me.
He wants you to wait in his office.
Episode 35
Shin Myung Hun is here?
Yes.
For how long?
I think less than an hour.
Hyung.
I don't know what it is, but it looks like you're having a hard time.
Why do you have both tears and sweat?
It mustn't have been easy to come look for me.
What is so urgent that made you come here?
What is it?
Did your father, Shin Tae Hwan, ask you to do something you don't want to again?
It's just like before.
Hyung...
I don't know if you know or not.
Ever since I was young,
I wanted Lee Dong Wook's brother, Lee Dong Chul, to be my brother.
Did you know, Hyung?
Looks like you really have something going on.
Did you confirm that your father was the one behind Rebecca's car accident?
Your father almost killed you.
Perhaps you are disappointed with your father?
Yes, ever since you were young, you were different from your father.
You were a kind child.
You struggled under your father.
Your father told you to hit Dong Wook, but you couldn't do it and cried instead.
Hit him.
Hit him until he apologizes to you.
Hurry up!
You are a man, do it!
You rascal, if you dare hit my brother, you are dead!
When you yelled at me to not touch Dong Wook, you were like his father.
You were bigger than my father.
I always felt jealous towards Dong Wook.
Even though I haven't said it,
I feel bad when I treat you like your father.
To me, Lee Dong Wook...
Since he was young...
Even though he didn't have a father, he had you, Hyung, so there's no regret.
Is that right, Hyung?
Shin Myung Hun.
Now that I mentioned it,
Hyung's father,
Lee Ki Chul...
What kind of person was he?
I'm sorry, you shouldn't say his name.
I know.
You know?
Then why?
Was he like Hyung?
When I see Hyung... I can guess what he was like.
Because Hyung wanted to take his place, you went through a lot of hardships.
I know them all.
Shin Myung Hun...
Looks like your disappointment with your father isn't small.
Or are you here to ask a favor for your father?
I came here to give you this.
Please take a look at it.
Yes, those are for getting you, President Guk, and Hong Kong Bank arrested at once.
I was told to give them to the IRS.
These are copies.
Where did you get these?
I can get worse things than those.
What is the purpose of your visit?
Shin Myung Hun.
If I say I did this for you...
For me?
You?
I don't want Hyung to be in trouble.
Why are you suddenly like this?
I don't know.
I have a favor to ask.
Hyung's enemy is Shin Tae Hwan.
I hope you won't attack Tae Sung.
In this world, you can never tell what the future will bring.
Who would have known that I would bring these to you?
There's a reason that you can't even imagine.
Shin Myung Hun.
Tae Ho's father didn't phone you?
He didn't phone home either?
No.
He must be busy.
Don't think too much.
Where's Tae Ho?
He's sleeping in his room today.
After examining 12 STR samples, they did not match.
Son, Shin Myung Hun's, and father, Shin Tae Hwan's, DNA do not match,
indicating father, Shin Tae Hwan, cannot be the biological father.
What is there?
There's something we don't know.
What is it?
I don't know.
Before we left...
Myung Hun.
What's wrong?
Father...
What should people do when they are suffering?
Who did you see?
Is it Rebecca?
Myung Hun.
In this world, there are many people committing sins.
Why must I take all the punishment?
What do you mean you are the only one being punished?
Maybe the mistakes my father and Rebecca made before...
Why didn't it end then? Why did it pass onto me?
Why did they put Tae Sung in danger, and make many people suffer?
People are foolish...
Because they never thought about the outcome of their mistakes,
That's why they committed sins without fear.
One sin will lead to another.
And that will pass on too,
And create many frightening sins.
Is it so?
I also want to give all of my suffering back.
Please wake up.
If people still have one bit of fear left for God,
That is our only exit.
No.
I can't do it.
What did Rebecca say to you?
Myung Hun.
Did you...
Come here to tell me something I don't know?
No.
I can't tell you right now.
Even if it's Father, I still can't tell.
Myung Hun!
This is not the right time.
I can't say!
Father...
Rebecca, a nurse who has been thrown away, and her child killed by Shin Tae Hwan that night...
Rebecca wanted to kill Shin Tae Hwan.
Instead, she switched Shin Tae Hwan's son, Lee Dong Wook, with me.
My father is not Shin Tae Hwan...
But Lee Ki Chul.
So is this a sin leading to another sin?
What should I do now?
My heart is telling me to bear another's sin.
What can I do now?
Shin Myung Hun?
Shin Myung Hun.
Shin Myung Hun!
What happened?
He came to me.
He looked for you?
Why?
I don't know.
He never came before.
It must be something very painful.
Let's go in.
Father...
Do you know why Myung Hun came to look for me?
It must be something he can't bear alone.
But that's no reason to look for me.
Just wait.
There will be a day we will know the reason.
But no matter how I look at it, I find it strange.
Didn't he like you since he was young?
Let's talk about our things.
I'm here because you said you were going to Kangwondo tomorrow.
This is a blueprint of the garden I told you about.
It's only half done, but looks real already.
Lee Dong Chul,
You do keep your word.
This is all for the people in my hometown.
Look at you, don't stutter, hurry up and say it!
Are you honoring your ancestors? Don't bow.
Mother...
Please approve.
You saved my life, I'm very grateful.
But this is something else.
Isn't that right?
Hyungnim.
Just approve of him.
Ki Sun wants it too.
In your heart, you probably agree, you are doing this on purpose, right?
Ki Sun...
Tell the truth.
Do you really want to give yourself to this small moustache?
Yes, Big Mother.
Look at this child, you look so anxious.
And you...
Do you have money to buy a house?
That...
Not a house, but...
A room.
So, only a small room?
Sister, think of the past, you can't say that.
Have you forgotten how many people lived in that small room before?
Are you guys on the same team?
Big Mother.
Until he settles down, I will work hard in the restaurant.
The most useless person is someone who lives off his wife.
Yes, that's right.
I also think that.
Wang Gun...
Can you really give Ki Sun a happy life?
Yes. Aren't I called Wang Gun?
I will use my life to promise to treat Ki Sun like a queen.
Ki Sun's mother.
Yes.
There's a saying that daughters should marry someone great.
And daughters-in-law should be from lower places.
Are you satisfied with Wang Gun?
Ki Sun likes him.
It's as if I didn't ask... I look foolish when I ask you.
Then is it agreed?
Wang Gun.
Yes, Mother?
Ki Sun.
Yes?
You must live well together.
Yes, Big Mother.
Thank you, Mother.
Wang Gun's mouth is open!
There's room here, just live here.
What brings you here?
I'm here as a junior reporter, Min Hye Rin.
As a junior reporter?
Please help me, Senior Kim.
It's about the story regarding the army,
I want to explore it deeper.
Don't you have the silver already?
Your father has it.
My thoughts are different from my father's.
Especially when it comes to future plans for Hansae Daily.
I want Hansae Daily to be successful, with the best articles.
Using accurate and true articles.
I know there are some people in the office with the same opinion as you.
It sounds like you have already grasped the reporters' tendencies.
No.
Senior has found a way out, if I have a way out, then Hansae Daily will be able to survive.
I'm talking about winning.
Sounds good.
You have a power to attract people.
Looks like no one can reject your interview.
Thank you.
Continue.
You know the new cylinder press is arriving.
Every newspaper will be competing.
I think the most important thing is the quality of the article.
That's true.
Because of that, I want to set up a new group of journalists.
A new group of journalists?
Yes, but for the time being, I want it to be a secret.
But I will follow Senior Kim's word on which journalists to use.
I can promise that.
Can you trust me this once?
How many people?
3, 4?
Including me, 4.
Okay, we can try it.
Thank you.
Hold on please, can you show us your passport?
We have our regulations.
I am a reporter for Hansae Daily, Min Hye Rin.
I came here to see Lee Dong Chul.
Leave this to me.
Young Ran.
What brings you here?
I was just passing by, so I came in.
Did you come here as a reporter, or is it a private matter?
Unfortunately, Lee Dong Chul just went out.
Really? He went out?
When will he be back?
You came here without phoning him?
Min Hye Rin came here without an appointment, looking for a man.
Looks like Lee Dong Chul really is something.
Then I will be leaving.
I will tell him to give you a call.
No, it's okay, don't tell him I came by.
I came in because I was passing by.
You've worked hard.
Congratulations.
You are very lucky today.
Thank you.
It's time to change dealers.
Enjoy your time here, and good luck.
Please look after.
What is it?
I couldn't tell you because you were working.
There's a package.
For me?
I put it in hyung's office.
Is Lee Dong Chul back?
No.
I understand.
Mike...
What are you doing?
What's wrong?
What's wrong, Grace?
Mike...
Mike?
What did Mike say?
Grace!
Grace, perhaps this is the last time that I can reach out to you.
By the time this letter and my wedding ring reach you,
I may no longer be alive.
Grace, I've run out of time.
Grace, I didn't belong beside you.
I made you unhappy because I was selfish.
But... the last thing I want to say is that,
I was truly happy because I had you in my life.
Grace, there is no time.
I would have protected you until the end of the world.
But, please, take care of yourself.
I thank God that Lee Dong Chul, the one person that I can trust,
Was there to protect you in Korea.
Did Mike die?
Did Mike die?!
That coward.
Bastard.
What's wrong?
Why do you look half dead?
Young Ran...
Did something happen outside?
Why is she like that?
What is it?
This rascal...
Did he send a will? What is this?
Useless person.
Where in Malaysia?!
I will ask my friends in Malaysia to locate the address.
I will go over there as soon as things with Tae Sung Electronics are done.
That useless rascal.
Reserve plane tickets.
Young Ran!
Thank you for your decision.
Since you've decided,
I will include in my will that everything, including the ownership of Tae Sung,
Will be given to you.
Then I will notarize the will.
Also, Myung Hun...
Even though there's no legal promise,
There's a promise between us.
I know that you will value the promises made between us more than a legal document.
After I die,
You will inherit Tae Sung.
Do you understand?
I understand, Grandfather.
Even though Tae Sung became smaller,
I will follow Grandfather's principles to do business.
I will make Tae Sung stand again.
I won't disappoint mom and grandfather.
I will do my best until I can.
What do you mean do your best until you can?
You have to be strong.
Yes.
You took care of Tae Sung Electronics in your own way!
Are you now openly showing contempt for your father?!
The bidding price was very low.
Did you not remember me telling you to raise the price?!
You didn't tell me the bids, and you decided by yourself!
Contempt? What are you saying?
Is that something a father should say to his son?
I'm saying it because I'm the father!
Have you not noticed his attitude the past few days?!
It's almost as if he has changed into someone else.
Perhaps you know what he is thinking about?
Why are you so suspicious?
You, your father, and Myung Hun!
Don't the three of you have the same thoughts?!
If what you say is true, then why would the three of us have the same thoughts?
Mother, don't say anything.
Yes, this way it will be better.
Myung Hun, you go up.
Ji Hyun must be tired, she's still sleeping.
Right.
Didn't you guys make an appointment to have dinner together? Did you forget?
Right...
Myung Hun.
What did you do with the documents I gave you?
Documents!
Did you forget something as important as that?!
You know we can't hand it in without a reason.
Didn't you give it to me to analyze, and figure out who they will hurt?
People I want to attack?
HK, President Guk...
And Lee Dong Chul.
How are they the ones I want to attack?
How is that only my business? You rascal!
You let Myung Hun do dangerous things again?
He acts like the enemies of Tae Sung are my personal enemies only!
Isn't he sick and tired of your underhanded tactics?
Myung Hun, you go up!
I am sick and tired of the two of you fighting!
Look at his arrogant attitude!
Stop it! Please stop it!
Are you asleep?
You...
Are you sleeping?
I'm sorry about missing our dinner.
I forgot about it because I was busy all day.
I had something to take care of.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Go rest, you look tired.
Wife, hold on!
You...
The notebook that was in my pocket...
The notebook and document.
Did you see them?
The notebook and document!
What document?
A very important document.
Did you see it?
Honey.
Did you not hear me?
If the documents were important, why did you leave them lying around?
I put them in the makeup table's drawer.
You...
Did you look at the document?
Honey.
Tae Ho's mother!
Honey.
What's the matter?
What's the document about?
You didn't look at it, right?
What exactly is the document?
Did you look at it or not?!
I didn't look at it.
Good, you did well.
You did well.
What exactly is it?!
You don't need to know.
No.
You can't know.
Hello?
Dong Chul?
It's me.
This is Macau.
What's the matter?
Mike just made a phone call from Malaysia.
Please continue.
Mike...
Mike, he...
I'm listening, please continue.
The ship Mike was on exploded.
Near the coast.
What about the coast?
Mike.
They found Mike's body.
Please continue.
Mike's body...
Will be sent to Macau.
Then...
Are you listening to me?
Yes, I'm listening.
Once Mike's body arrives...
There will be a funeral.
This is what my father-in-law wants.
Okay.
I know it's hard to say, but please tell Grace and President Guk.
I understand.
What's the matter?
Who was it?
Are you not listening to me? Lee Dong Chul?
Who was it?
It was Janice.
Janice?
Yes.
News about Mike?
It's news about Mike, right?
Speak!
What's going on with Mike?
Near the Malaysian coast...
Yes?
Near the coast.
What about the coast?
Hurry up and say it! Is Mike dead or alive?
They found his body.
Mike's body will be shipped to Macau.
And a funeral will be held in Macau.
Who agreed on a funeral?
No, no!
Why are you saying he's dead?
Who said it?
Young Ran.
Does Dad believe this?
Do you believe it?
Lee Dong Chul.
Do you believe it?
Do you believe it?!
Looks like Dad believes it.
How do you feel?
You wanted him to be the prince of Macau.
And wanted to make me the princess of Macau, what will you do now your dream's been destroyed?
You must resurrect Mike.
This is no different from killing him yourself.
You must resurrect Mike.
If you don't resurrect him,
I will not call President Guk dad anymore.
There's something going on between my father and that woman.
Please pretend you don't know.
I need to uncover this secret.
I was almost killed by my father.
You...
Do you know what kind of person I am?
You can't know.
Honey.
What are the things bothering you recently that you can't tell me?
When did the pain start?
Started after I ruined your life.
Right after I changed your whole life.
Tell me...
Because of me, you never had a day of happiness.
You feel tired because you try to forgive me.
But those are things in the past.
What is the pain that you are feeling now?
Tell me.
What is the pain you can't tell your wife?
I'm afraid to lose you.
That is it.
What are you saying?
I don't want to lose you.
Tae Ho's father.
I saw grandfather and signed the papers.
What?
I don't know if they are legally valid.
But I want grandfather to feel at rest.
And?
Mother, you, Tae Ho...
I want to protect you guys.
Protect?
Father.
Did he threaten you?
No.
It was I who threatened him.
Why?
You don't need to know.
You never kept a secret from me.
Don't ask me.
What are you hiding from me?
What is it?
I said you don't need to know!
Rebecca, that woman...
Maybe...
She has something to do with your pain?
What?
Ever since that woman appeared,
A dark cloud has been over our family.
You...
Don't talk about that woman to me.
Why?
Don't go see her either.
Why?
Listen to me!
Understand?
- I don't understand! - Listen to me!
Understand?
I understand.
Why are you up so early? You should have slept more since you were tired.
I think it's the international affairs.
Even your father became so busy.
Child's mother.
Are you listening to me?
Yes.
That woman, Rebecca.
What kind of person is she, Mother?
Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?
The day you gave birth to Myung Hun...
She was the nurse who delivered him right?
Yes.
According to that woman,
She wanted to kill Myung Hun.
Why?
Because of her hatred for killing her unborn child.
Doing something as cruel as that...
And treating it as a small thing.
Men are all like this.
Let's not talk about painful things.
Let's live comfortably.
Grandfather has been shot!
Dad.
Will you play guns with him too?
Tae Ho should wash his face and get ready for school.
Okay.
Why?
You don't like watching your child play with guns?
Tae Ho doesn't seem like you, he's more like me.
You used to frown when I took you hunting.
You didn't seem like a man at all.
Too soft-hearted.
What about it?
Do I seem too soft-hearted now, too?
I can change.
Good, this is the happiest thing I have heard.
Please change and exceed me.
I will exceed you.
If you don't resurrect Mike,
don't show your face, Dad.
I will face it myself.
Stop the car, Lee Dong Chul.
Let my dad get out of the car, Lee Dong Chul.
Do what I tell you! Lee Dong Chul!
Until when will you stop listening to my father?
Don't you love Mike more than Guk Dae Hwa?
I can't believe it.
Young Ran, calm down.
Dong Chul, hurry up.
Calm down.
Yes?
What do you want with our bank...?
It's the daughter-in-law of Tae Sung.
What is your name?
Kim Ji Hyun.
Yes, Kim Ji Hyun.
Why are you here?
You know your husband came to see me before?
Of course.
Please sit.
I can't believe he would let his wife come.
I wanted to come.
Really?
I want to come here.
To hear Rebecca say it in person.
He has decided as expected.
The two of you want to secure Tae Sung.
My husband can't be here because of Tae Sung Electronics.
I can understand that.
There will be a meeting with the stockholders.
I want to listen to what your husband asked you to tell me.
My husband.
My husband...
Has decided as you expected.
He will do his best to secure Tae Sung.
Of course.
It's not easy.
As a wife who knows the truth,
you can still stay composed.
No.
I can't believe it.
I wanted confirmation so I came to you.
Where do you not believe?
The part where he's not Shin Tae Hwan's son?
That part has been confirmed by a DNA test.
Then...
Is it the part where two lives have been switched?
Because of my hatred towards Shin Tae Hwan,
I wanted to kill that child.
I didn't kill him but switched him, don't you think I did the right thing?
Instead of being a miner's son, he became the heir of Tae Sung.
Miner's son?
He didn't mention prosecutor Lee Dong Wook?
I saw the documents.
You know I'm not Shin Tae Hwan's biological son?
The most important thing to us is Tae Ho.
Our Tae Ho.
No matter what happens...
He must be the heir to Tae Sung.
I, Guk Dae Hwa,
Went to my son-in-law's funeral.
Almost died.
Revenge will lead to another revenge.
Your friend was murdered, why do you have so many reasons?
What are you doing when I told you to put Guk Dae Hwa and Lee Dong Chul together?
Shin Myung Hun...
What do you want?
I heard you went to my mother's restaurant a few days ago.
Hyung.
What are you talking about?!
