East of Eden
Episode 43
I told you before...
Even if I, Shin Tae Hwan, have to go to hell,
The King of Hell will also have to give way to me.
Even if I am being destroyed, I will also revive.
Bullets will also avoid my heart.
You think your childish way of shooting
Can shoot my heart?
Shin Tae Hwan.
Since you have such a pretty face,
Then you should live the rest of your life peacefully.
Why must you still bear a grudge on me, making your life difficult?
You still can’t forget me?
What a joke, Shin Tae Hwan.
That’s right.
You are still alive.
Then let’s prove a truth while you are still alive.
Speak.
You...
Changed my son with whose son?
In order to have you trialed by the law,
Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, the one with a sharp knife,
is your son!
Changing my son...
with Lee Ki Chul’s son!
You will not be able to escape from the clutches of your son.
Just like what you said, you’ll walk towards the abyss of destruction.
Being captured by your own son, All your crimes punished one by one.
While you are being punished,
Tae Sung, which is built using your crimes, will collapse!
Director.
What did you say?
Yoo Mi Ae.
That’s right.
The show is just about to start.
It was me who called him here.
It’s me who called Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook here.
You go out first.
Thank you for coming, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.
Please open your eyes and see the truth!
This devil by the name Shin Tae Hwan,
is your father.
He is,
when you thought Lee Ki Chul was your real father,
the murderer who exploded him in the coal mine!
The murderer who wants to put you and your brother,Lee Dong Chul,
to death for a lot of times.
Do you know who he is?
The little life in my stomach, is taken away by this murderer!
That was also his son.
All because of the ambition to get Tae Sung!
Inspector Kim Jong Suk
Yes?
This is private matter.
Please bring that lady away.
Yes.
Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, You must check this matter thoroughly.
This is not a private matter.
What I regret is not hitting his heart.
But even if I did not hit, Heaven won’t let him go either!
That is also what you should do.
Even the bullet will avoid my heart.
Even if I end up in hell, the King of Hell will also have to give way to me.
My child has been changed,
but the outstanding you is still my child.
Heaven protects the good...
which is referring to people like me, Shin Tae Hwan.
Director Shin Tae Hwan!
Director Shin Tae Hwan?
Didn’t I say it in the starting?
You look like me, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.
Do you remember?
So this is blood relationship.
Do you have the rights
to talk about blood relationship in front of me?
Rights?
What rights?
Have you forgotten?
Reporting me to the authorities.
The murderer who tried to get rid of me while interrogating me.
Reporting you to the authorities.
Isn’t that, Done by Shin Myung Hun?
Director Shin Tae Hwan!
Forget the past.
The road ahead is still long.
What’s the meaning behind mentioning old issues again
and being calculative about them?
We are father and son.
We shall just live properly remembering this, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.
Oh yes,
you are no longer Lee Dong Wook now.
Father and son.
You think we can become father and son?
Can’t we?
As long as I’m alive,
no matter how resistant you are,
we flow the same blood in our bodies.
Please start to listen to my orders from this moment onwards.
Because you have committed the crimes of illegal imprisonment and kidnapping,
I shall arrest you.
What a coincidence!
I was still worrying that for my outstanding prosecutor son,
what I should prepare as a meeting gift.
Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.
I have information of an affair,
which is big enough to create chaos in the whole country,
I can give it to you...
to rise your level and fame.
What can’t a father do for a son?
Law is not only in the law books,
but real law is in the reality.
Let me tell you properly.
Director Shin Tae Hwan.
Please shut up.
Do you know how much was the commission from the previous political power?
One hundred plus billions.
I can also get you the confidential document.
Are you ok Prosecutor?
Do we need to wait for you?
You all leave first.
Why did I change into a bad guy who does all sorts of evil things?
Is it due to inheritance?
It’s not.
I was also once a man who is even kinder than an angel.
It is this unfeeling world that changed me.
Growing up in a cold and hungry orphanage,
wondering about everyday...
between heaven and hell.
The life that you all had in the Village of Carbon Mine
is almost like the top of heaven.
If Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is on the same grounds as me,
you would do the same too.
We are both clever,
both outstanding,
who will be a leader no matter where we go, and who will never be a follower.
The reason why Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook has always got first,
is also due to inheritance.
Although I am evil, but Shin Tae Hwan is also not simple.
In order for me not to be despised,
struggling in order to live in the upper class of the society,
a thing like conscience is thrown to one side.
The reason why you learned so hard,
has no difference with the reason why I've struggled so much.
Union Head Lee Ki Chul.
He died after fighting for the right.
What is the difference between him and me,
when I'm trying to fight for my benefits as the Mine Master?
When I said to bury him,
it didn't mean to murder him.
Literaly...
I meant to bury him away for a few days.
Shin Tae Hwan!
If you are not going to shut up, I will throw you into the furnace!
You remember this carefully,
I can throw you into prison for illegal imprisonment. So...
Don’t talk...
about any blood relationship in front of me anymore.
If, you dare to tell it around,
I will not let you go.
Get out.
Get out now!
Get out!
Get out now!
If you want to drag me down,
don’t even think about it.
No! It cannot be!
It cannot be!
Tae Sung Electronics cannot survive now just by being competitive,
being in a state of nowhere.
The budget is also way exceeding.
What is urgent now is that there will be 25 companies coming for debt today.
If we can’t stop this, it will be the end for the company!
Lawyer Kim.
Also, the financial situation showed a negative sign.
Lawyer Kim, if this was spread out,
everyone will panic, thinking that it is the end for Tae Sung Electronics!
I will tell them the truth during the meeting today.
The fact that the company’s financial situation is bad,
should also be told to them.
Representative Lee,
Everyone has the right to know the real situation of the company,
and will only work harder when there is a sense of danger.
I will tell all the employees about this news.
All the employees?
Is there such a need, Representative Lee?
There is no representative in this company.
If every employee does not treat themselves like a representative,
Then like what you said, the company will really fall.
Representative...
Will rush over once he is done with the meeting.
Please wait a while more.
Ki Sun. It’s really good that you can come and help.
Mother, is she ok?
How can she be ok?
I hope that in the future,
there won’t be anymore torture.
Sorry,
but I do hope for some more torture.
Whatever that Lee Dong Wook has,
I am envious of him.
To have a sister like you,
to have a brother like Dong Chul.
That’s enough, Myung Hun Oppa.
Stop dreaming.
Although it’s unfair to you, But we can’t.
We can’t be separated.
Really?
I don’t care what happened in the past,
We are already a family that cannot be separated.
I cannot come in between, that kind?
Yes.
Sorry, Myung Hun Oppa.
Is there anything?
Didn’t I tell you not to come here?
Hyung,
I also hope...
to see mother one more time.
What did you say?
No matter what others say, she is still my mother.
There is no need for this.
- I want to see her. - I say there is no need.
What makes you have the right to see mother?
Using that two hands to pull down mother’s newly built house,
and smashing her furniture was you right?
If Hyung was me, what will you do?
Growing up under my father’s killer,
Is that my fault?
Is that what I want?
Growing up under my father’s killer,
Is it because I did something wrong?
That’s right.
I understand.
But, forget it.
We have decided to live on like that, Not caring about blood relationships.
That’s not the style of Hyung.
For Dong Wook, you gave your whole life.
That kind of gift,
can’t you spare me a bit?
Forget it.
Just live your life like this.
In my body also flows,
the same blood as Hyung.
Just once.
Even if it is the last time,
Let me see Mother.
Mother can’t even differentiate who’s who.
She’s really sick.
If she can’t recognize me,
then there is no point seeing her.
Yes.
I’ll contact you when she’s better.
Go back.
Shin Myung Hun.
Just continue being Shin Myung Hun.
Dong Wook.
Although it’s not the life that you have chosen,
But it’s better to keep it this way.
You,
have any rights to interfere in others’ lives?
What?
You should know how lucky you are all because of me.
Father, Mother, Dong Chul Hyung, Ki Sun.
All that once belonged to me, Are all enjoyed by you alone,
Till now.
Shin Myung Hun.
Since you have been so happy for so many years, It’s time to leave.
Dong Wook.
Blood is thicker than water.
You.
Have seen President Oh?
Have you seen President Oh, the acting president of Tae Sung Group?
Do you know why I went there?
To find the evidence tape of my father’s killer!
Your portfolio will also be very nice.
Tae Sung Group.
I have already prepared myself to give it up to you, anytime you like.
Hyung,
What is Shin Myung Hun doing here?
Is it because of brothers?
That’s why you are attracted,
Is it like that?
Lee Dong Wook.
Don’t be silly!
Don’t even try,
to find the shadow of Shin Tae Hwan on me.
Dong Wook.
And not on Myung Hun’s face,
traces of Father.
- The killer that killed Father! - Dong Wook stop!
- We will definitely take revenge! - Dong Wook stop talking!
Even if Lee Ki Chul’s son have to die a painful death,
he won’t give in to people like you.
I will use justice to destroy your life!
Letting you in front of me and my family,
kneel for forgiveness! Changing your life into one that is pale and inferior.
Lee Dong Wook you,
You killed someone.
To be meeting like this, is really much of a regret.
Director Shin Tae Hwan.
You will have to go to the prosecutor’s office with me.
Hello?
It’s me, Jae Hee.
Lucky you are here.
I also don’t know why I’m looking for you.
I’m busy.
Why would there be this kind of thing?
Is Shin Tae Hwan’s life that unreasonable?
The guy that I have been raising like my own son,
is actually not my son,
But Lee Ki Chul’s.
Lee Dong Chul’s brother.
What did you say?
Can you come out to see me?
Are you telling me this nonsense over the phone,
That your son is Lee Dong Chul’s brother?
Jae Hee.
If it’s like this,
then you should look for your wife,
Not me.
All of you go out.
You knew there was a meeting, So what’s your reason for missing it?
On purpose.
It is your meeting.
Do I have to really sit there and be a thorn in your eyes?
You are doing it too obviously!
I know you are doing all these, just for me.
For me you are not even caring about construction,
Purposely avoiding me. I know all these.
But I am not touched at all.
That’s right.
If this can lessen your sense of sin,
that's up to you.
Don’t you be mistaken.
Don’t think that, you are everything of my life.
I won’t,
be held by sin for my life,
and I’m also not that innocent.
So you have decided, to leave this place?
If you are really doing this, at least keep it from me.
- If not, - If not,
announce it first.
If this is what you want, I will do it.
When did you start to become like this?
I hope that you will never collapse.
I know you mean it. That’s why I’m even angrier!
What on earth are you doing?
As the representative, are you trying to clear accounts for Dong Chul's gratuity?
Here.
These are the casino's real estate under Lee Dong Chul's name.
That's a great deal of real estate,
and Lee Dong Chul knows it's all under his name.
So long as Lee Dong Chul decides to do so,
He can easily claim all that land as his own.
Shall we hand it all to him on a tray?
Isn't that what you'd wish for him? How are you going to handle this?
- I have something to say. - What is it?
Let's make a trade.
The profit from selling the stock options in stages and his gratuity,
We'll give him whatever we can.
And get him to transfer all the real estate back to my name.
It seems you're not willing to give away the real estate.
Shall we or not?
If you make the trade successfully, Then all that real estate will be yours.
Don't worry. I'll make the trade.
I see you're still alive.
You're still alive too.
It's tough on me...
That's what your face is telling me.
Yes,
not everyone is cut out to do business.
That's why there are cover ups, loan frauds,
falsified accounts, donations to political funds.
That's how all these came about.
Is that all you have to say to a busy man out here?
Busy? Who says you're busy?
The funds you need aren't coming in,
So will you borrow from a loanshark or commit fraud?
Your thoughts should be in turmoil right now.
About the casino overseas office...
Those casino matters, don't mention them anymore.
Now, those concerns are mine alone.
Here, take this.
What's this?
Ex-representative Lee Dong Chul's gratuity.
Gratuity?
Profits from selling in stages and stock options too.
Not a small sum.
Tae Sung Electronics won't need to cook the books right at the start.
But there is one condition.
Under Lee Dong Chul's name, there is significant real estate.
I hope, real soon,
those can be transferred to my name.
If that's what you wanted, I could have done it even without these.
I...
I won't ask for favors from Lee Dong Chul.
This is a business deal.
I see.
So I won't need to commit fraud, and no need for loansharks too?
This is my gratuity?
Haven't you been as loyal as a hunting dog?
You even rescued the owner's daughter countless times.
Don't assume you're priced like a little dog.
Do a good job!
Guk Ja!
Watch your health!
Don't go in person to manage the overseas office.
Don't mess with my problems.
You don't have to bother anymore.
I'll decide what I need to do.
Hyung-nim,
won't you please eat something?
Have something in your stomach, then you can take your medicine,
and live on with some strength.
Jung Ja,
Yes?
So,
The child that Ji Hyun gave birth to,
he's my grandson,
is that right?
Hyung-nim,
Now you're more alert.
Finally, you're more alert.
That kid,
is Lee Ki Chul's flesh and blood, is that right?
Yes, sister, That is correct.
Who would have imagined?
You tried so hard to stop Ji Hyun and Dong Wook's relationship,
Ji Hyun, that girl,
she gave birth to our flesh and blood.
Lee Ki Chul's flesh and blood...
he's growing up in our enemy's family.
How can there be such a ridiculous thing on earth?
Yes, sister.
Even if your heart is broken in pieces, you still have to gain strength.
You must be strong! Alright?
It must be my numerous sins.
I've sinned too much.
I jinxed my husband to death,
My own flesh and blood is elsewhere too,
My...
What are my sins...
that we have to face such sad consequences?
Hyung-nim!
Mom!
Did you study hard in school today?
Oh! It's dad! Dad!
Dad, I'm all done.
Are you happy?
Really?
I'm happy.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat together.
Yes.
Mom, does your spaghetti taste bad?
No, it's delicious.
What about yours, Dad?
It's delicious.
Are you saving it because it's delicious?
Yes.
Mom, you too?
Yes.
Wow! I see.
Then I should save some while I eat too.
I hope in future,
you will no longer help out Tae Sung group on the quiet.
On the quiet?
It seems Madam Oh Yoon Hee,
you're just about to step out from the dark.
That's right.
That's why,
I'm here first with the only woman
whom President Shin Tae Hwan trusts.
From now on, President Shin Tae Hwan will no longer
be connected in any way with Tae Sung group.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I...
I haven't been helping out Tae Sung group.
Yes.
Shin Tae Hwan,
I mean you should not help out Shin Tae Hwan too.
Since when have I ever done anything
according to what you ask, Madam Oh Yoon Hee?
If it's really for the sake of President Shin Tae Hwan,
then it's best not to be helping him.
You!
You speak to like someone else I know.
Is it a woman named Janice?
Shin Tae Hwan, Janice,
you seem to treasure them both.
What is it you're hoping to gain from the two of them?
Hey, Madam Oh,
you keep treating me like someone who works on the quiet.
Am I...
Do you think I'm lesser than Tae Sung group?
I'm not one who hopes for Shin Tae Hwan to be destroyed.
Whenever I see someone upright and full of justice, I don't feel good.
Instead, I much prefer someone who'd admit they are evil.
How I deal with Shin Tae Hwan is up to me, it's none of your business.
Janice,
as far as that woman is concerned,
I have no reason to make any sort of explanation to you.
So, you'd better stop right here.
How about you leave now?
President Shin Tae Hwan,
He's so similar to you.
What? What!
I think I've not wasted my trip here.
I should have met with you much earlier,
I didn't expect to see you here.
Did you know...
President Shin Tae Hwan, in order to lay hands on Tae Sung group,
how many people he has deserted?
When there's a need, he's not even bothered about destroying a life.
Under the same circumstances,
One woman was envisioning revenge,
And another woman was just watching from the side,
Isn't that incredulous?
Which side are you on?
Is it revenge that you want?
What do you mean?
No matter who,
no one should use his own ruler to measure another person's life.
Husbands and wives should act as one, that's so true.
No one can say their spouse is evil.
That sounds like you're protecting one of your own.
We're humans, after all.
Of course there's compassion.
Do excuse me.
Whose idea was it?
Is it yours?
Or Shin Tae Hwan's?
If like someone I know, you're looking for revenge,
Please do not involve me.
I'm telling you very clearly now,
I have nothing to do with all this.
You're back, father.
Father!
What happened? Your arm...
It seems you're all waiting for me.
Yes.
This world is very interesting.
The longer I live, the more interesting it gets.
For my whole life, the child I took as my own flesh and blood, my son by birth,
turns out not to be my own son.
Who can believe it?
Can you believe that?
Shin Myung Hun,
Can you believe it?
You believed it.
Not just that,
Knowing full well you're not my flesh and blood,
how dare you sign the Shin family will?!
Shin family?
Obviously, he signed on the Oh family will.
And...
And?
Shin Tae Hwan,
Although you secretly discarded the will,
Don't you know that the will is still in force?
You're going to leave the inheritance to a totally unrelated guy
and make him Tae Sung's successor?
Yes.
No matter what anyone else says, Myung Hun is...
I take him as my own flesh and blood.
My child, my flesh and blood.
Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is our child, our flesh and blood.
Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is our family's son, the successor.
Before Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook becomes the successor of our family,
You will first be brought down before him.
Flesh and blood is fated by heaven.
No one can fight it.
That's why I say Shin Tae Hwan is so blessed.
Even if heaven and earth is changed,
No son can hold a knife against his father demanding for revenge.
Even if heaven and earth is not changed,
with hands stained by blood, you will still have to face the consequences.
You!
Lee Ki Chul's son!
You...
You knew what sort of blood flows in you,
Yet you dare covet Tae Sung!
Despicable fella.
How dare you supersede me to become Tae Sung's successor!
You despicable jerk!
Today,
No, right now, get out of this house.
That's not difficult at all.
Not in the least.
But you must leave alone.
I won't let you have Tae Ho.
Father!
You can't have Ji Hyun too.
You leave alone. Do you understand?
The one to leave this house is not Myung Hun but you!
You, Shin Tae Hwan. You!
If you're still human, you should at least show some filial piety, you jerk!
How many years have we spent dining at the same table?
How much effort have I spent on you as my son,
grooming you to become the successor?
How dare you stab me in the back!
The pain of not taking you as an enemy, as my father's killer,
The pain of not living according to my God-given personality,
Now I can safely say you're my father's killer.
Now I can live on!
My hatred for you as my father's killer,
the root of so much evil, overthrowing so many lives.
If you're human at all,
such words should make you feel some guilty conscience.
When you deceived me, planning to lay hands on Tae Sung group,
Did your conscience do anything for you?
You despicable fella,
What about when you handed over Tae Sung Electronics to Lee Dong Chul?
Seeing that you're related, you sold Tae Sung for the price of chewing gum?
No, father.
Not back then. It didn't happen like that, father.
I don't need Lee Ki Chul's on here, get out right now!
I can't put up with you any longer!
No, don't, Myung Hun.
No, not this.
No.
Dad, You're crying?
Why are you crying, dad?
Why are you crying?
Mother.
Mother,
Can you recognise me now?
Dong Wook.
No matter what others say,
I don't care what they say, I'll always be your son.
That's understood, my child.
My life revolved around watching you grow.
You alone,
was the light in my life as I watched over you.
No matter what others say, you'll always be my child, a brother to your hyung,
Ki Sun's brother,
A son to your aunt.
Even if your father chased you out, you can't leave, Myung Hun.
Just ignore your father's words. Take it as you didn't hear it.
In the event,
You leave me,
My life will end as well.
No matter where I go, I'll never forget you, mother.
No matter what others say, You are always my mother.
Myung Hun, the successor of the Oh family is you.
Ji Hyun, don't waver. Keep your eyes on him.
I... if I don't have him, I can't live.
I don't know what you think but I can't live without him.
I can be separated from President Shin Tae Hwan,
But without Tae Ho's dad, I can't live on.
Mother is right.
No matter how much pain you're in,
you must trust in her and protect her.
If it were you,
This man who killed your father illegally,
would you live with him in the same house, breathing in the same air?
To the man who hammered nails into your heart,
You still can't forgive him yet, right?
So what do you want of me?
You and I and Tae Ho, we'll leave this house together,
And become Lee Ki Chul's family?
They wouldn't want that too.
With my own hands, I destroyed their home,
I did all the bad things, a human shouldn't do.
They wouldn't stretch out their hands to welcome me as one of their own.
So what are you thinking of doing?
Don't just irresponsibly leave on your own.
If you do that, I will never see you again.
Everyone's been working hard.
Representative!
Let us do it.
Thank you.
Hold it properly.
Be careful.
What's this? I can't make head or tail of it.
Let's count with our hands instead.
Let's get to the point.
Set up a law firm which can help Lee Dong Chul,
I'll raise the funds.
But,
you must keep this a secret from Lee Dong Chul.
The funds to set up a law firm,
we have that too.
Is that so?
Rebecca, in the Hong Kong banks, there are funds under my name.
And funds under some other names too.
Please hand those over to us.
Well,
although the names are not the same,
all of that belong to President Guk, right?
That's the money I paid with my life.
Money paid with your life?
Kim Tae Sun is meeting with Rebecca?
Yes.
Their meeting has lasted quite some time.
By himself?
No.
Wang Gun is following him like a shadow.
Wang Gun?
Before they get any deeper in their talks
to move funds into Lee Dong Chul's hands,
I'll catch those two guys right away and bring them to you.
Alright.
Shall we head for Tae Sung Electronics?
Yes.
You...
You must be tired guarding me.
Tired?
You said you knew my father,
And I like you too.
What is this?
It's President Guk.
He found out I met Rebecca,
and he's getting to me.
Be careful!
Grandfather!
Tae Ho
Father has disappeared.
Father is not here.
- Father is not here. - Father.
- Father, - Please take a look upstairs.
Father is not here.
Hello?
Dong Chul oppa, it' me.
Yes, Ji Hyun?
What is it?
Myung Hun has left home.
Did you know about this?
No.
Has he contacted you?
Contact?
Contact between flesh and blood.
Nothing of that sort.
But Ji Hyun,
Does Shin Tae Hwan...
know all about the truth as well?
If he contacts you,
please tell him, Tae Ho is looking for his father.
I will.
Ji Hyun,
Can you still put up in that house?
There are people living in this house too.
Fine.
Take good care of Tae Ho.
Take care.
Hello?
Myung Hun?
Are you Myung Hun?
Shin Myung Hun,
How can a married man just leave the house without a word?
Ji Hyun wants me to tell you Tae Ho is looking for you.
Call them right away.
They must be so anxious that Ji Hyun had to call me.
Shin Myung Hun, are you listening?
Are you listening or not?
Father.
Father!
On my face,
Don't look for the image of Shin Tae Hwan!
And on Myung Hun's face,
Don't look for our father's image.
Isn't this Shin Myung Hun?
He's the child who grew up as Shin Tae Hwan's son,
That child is at our house now.
This is Lee Dong Wook's room, Lee Dong Wook's home,
What are you doing here, you jerk?
Isn't this my home, my room?
Do you feel any connection with Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook, father?
Like you said, isn't he my flesh and blood?
Then, I and Tae Ho too,
We must leave this house.
I can bear with everything,
But I can't bear it if you touch my family, that's Lee Dong Chul for you.
You should know that already.
You grew up all alone so you should know what loneliness is.
Why did you mention my past?
Perhaps you knew my mother?
How many times do you intend to pull me down?
It was you who revealed the information to Lee Dong Chul, right?
Is he still in your heart?
No.
Where are you going?
