East of Eden
Episode 6
Applaud!
Zhang Wei!
How was it?
Very handsome!
Good! Very Good!
Really?
The performance was brilliant!
Enough to cover the price of sending lunch to me?
Even the child in my tummy is smiling.
That's right, Ken...
Episode 6
All of you better work diligently!
Don't bloody hell be like Ken,
thinking this is a pier containing recycled paper,
and just treat me, the council member as trash as well!
Bloody hell! I have to put up with the stench every day!
Do you know how I've managed to endure all this while?
I have allowed you all to feed your families,
so you bloody well do a good job for me!
Those who keep saying that giving me kickbacks are illegal, come out now!
Hey!
How come I've not seen you before? What do you do?
I'm working on behalf of Ken.
Working on behalf of Ken?
I bet you're also in cahoots
with these illegal immigrants and will gang up against me.
Don't illegal immigrants have to feed themselves as well?
Bloody hell! Take a look at whose territory this is!
Dare to be audacious in front of me?
I see you must be an illegal immigrant as well!
Do you want to be chased away?
Chased away?
Chased away... I happened to have this intention.
Bloody hell!
I see!
I see you have the intention of going back to your hometown.
Get down from there!
Don't be like this.
Bloody hell!
Still not going to get down from there?
Sorry!
Sorry! Sorry! Boss!
Come here!
Is this little bitch your wife?
Then the little bastard in the stomach must be yours as well?
Hands off!
If you don't want to see the little bastard in the stomach suffer,
you bloody hell get down from there now!
Hands off!
You'd rather taste bad wine than good wine. Damn you...
Go! Go!
You!
I know you are a Chinese national, and you are also an illegal immigrant.
Its best to know your limits.
Honestly speaking, taking 30% of our wages is too much, isn't it?
This isn't the only place that Koreans can seek employment!
There're other piers that're willing to take us in without the need to give kickbacks.
We will go to another place very soon.
I'm here to convey these words!
You rascal must be sick of living!
You speak Korean rather well!
Not bad!
How are you?
Welcome, President Min.
You've performed a remarkable task.
Thank you, President Min!
Over the past 3 years, Han Se newspaper
has been putting the limelight on Tae Sung's performance.
It has always helped us tremendously whenever there is a crisis.
Isn't it a fact that you've also accomplished an incredibly difficult task?
Thank you.
Congressman!
Your presence is an absolute honor.
How can I miss the groundbreaking ceremony of Incheon Harbor?
I gave way this time
in the hope that we would no longer have any friction in the future.
Welcome, Congressman!
Thank you so much for coming. Thank you! Many thanks!
After receiving the invitation that was personally penned by President Oh,
how could I not come?
It is our honor to receive President Oh's personally written invite.
Thank you!
Myung Hun, greet the Congressman again.
Congressman, this is my grandson.
My name is Shin Myung Hun, Congressman.
Really?
Young man, you're really handsome.
I'm sure you would become the heir of Tae Sung Group.
The feeling's not too bad.
Dong Wook hyung!
Is it heavy?
No. With Yo Sub to help, it's not heavy at all.
You will be in charge of no. 103.
Yo Sub's family will be in charge of no. 104.
Give it to me.
In addition, the Yeo Bun's family will be in charge of no. 105.
Tidy all things up within 4 hours and re-gather here again.
We will then proceed to Kang Nam.
Yes.
Don't even be a minute late if you want to find odd jobs.
- Yes. - All of you understand?
Yes, understood!
We can't lose the jobs over there.
Over on that side, demolishing houses and rebuilding them commonly occurs.
With some good luck, we might pick up some great stuff!
If you find some great stuff, would you carry them to the village?
Stop talking rubbish and disperse quickly!
Although Tae Sung has encountered countless difficulties,
but through the help of these distinct guests present here today,
Pier 1, Pier 2, follow by Pier 3 overcame these difficulties and were completed.
At the same time, the harbor engineering technology has improved tremendously.
In future, pier 4 and pier 5's construction,
will also utilize the technology that our nation has acquired, as a foundation.
I have good news to announce to everyone!
Our first overseas attempt would be to venture into Macau harbor engineering.
Macau...
That words that you'd casually spoke to me the last time,
was a little unpleasant to the ears.
How dare Shin Tae Hwan think of having a foot in the Macau Harbor Engineering!
Who's backing Shin Tae Hwan for him to be so bold to venture in international markets?
To tread over that high wall?
Hyung already knew?
Just keep it low profile.
It's funny to be rash.
I've loosened my belt too much lately.
Wang Gun?
The name says it.
You are the son of Asia Casino's ex-chairman?
He has a deep feud towards the Congressman.
He also has hatred for the missing Lee Dong Chul.
He and Madros Chen betrayed us and ran away.
In that case, are you sure he's not dead and still living?
We don't know where the two of them have taken the gold chest and escaped to.
Nevertheless, I have heard that Director is very interested in the casino.
I, Wang Gun, give my life to you!
Never hang the word casino loosely on your mouth!
You've all worked hard.
Hurry back to wash up and prepare a hot meal to eat.
Sister!
Tomorrow would be the day our Dong Wook gets his results,
and be accepted by Seoul University?
It's not that easy to be accepted.
Hurry back!
Only just got back, Sister?
How's business?
It's always been the same.
Sister.
Initially, I don't have the intention to say.
Do you know what day tomorrow is?
It's Dong Chul's birthday.
Why mention about an already dead child?
Dad!
- Don't! - Don't die, Dad!
Don't die, Dad!
- Don't die! - Dad!
Dad, sorry.
Sorry, Dad! Sorry, Dad!
Sorry!
No matter what's been said, I'm still mother's eldest son.
Even if I am miles away from mother's sight,
I am still mother's eldest son!
No matter what's been said, I'm still mother's eldest son.
I'm still step-mother's son.
I'm still Dong Wook's hyung and Ki Sun's oppa.
Why deliver the coals till so late?
Mother also came back late?
Coals are an important staple to the villagers during winter.
After hearing that the price of coal might go up,
all families want to stock up some so as to survive through this winter.
Are you in charge of helping the villagers to stock up coals?
There's a limit to things. Look at yourself!
Prepare to take a shower.
You will prepare some hot water for me right, mother?
Look, thank goodness there's coals so we get hot water to shower.
Mother came at the right time.
Get down!
I have enough!
You jerk!
- What's wrong, Mother? - You jerk!
I forbid you to deliver coals again! I forbid!
Why, Mother? Why?
Look at the bruises on your shoulders.
What do they look like?
You can resemble your father in any way, but why the same bruises?
The bruises that your father suffered from carrying coals in the mine,
and the bruises that the son gets from delivering coals.
What difference is there? Jerk!
- It's... only just a little bruise. - Due to those bruises
my heart and blood both burnt to ashes.
Stop immediately!
Mother!
What did I rely on to endure until now?
I think of father while carrying coals.
I think of hyung while I grit my teeth and study.
You don't have a brother, jerk!
Why mention about an already dead brother?
Don't even mention an already dead person in front of me!
Who is Lee Ki Sun?
Over there.
Who's that?
Are you Lee Ki Sun?
That's right.
There's someone looking for you.
Looking for me?
Ji Hyun unni!
Ki Sun, all's well?
Yes, Unni.
Father!
You've been well?
When did you arrive, Father?
Didn't you go overseas?
I really missed you all, so I came.
I left Hwang Ji to receive training in Italy,
and came back to Korea 2 days ago.
I didn't expect to find these things waiting for me.
Dong Chul didn't know I left Hwang Ji,
and mailed these letters to the Hwang Ji church.
Who?
Dong Chul.
The letters that he wanted me to pass to his family contained money.
That fellow!
He's still alive?
That's right.
The letters were sent from Macau.
Macau?
Where's that?
- Why bother to trace? - Where's that, Sister?
Dong Chul is still alive, so why bother to trace that place?
Aigoo! Aigoo! Sister!
We don't even know Dong Chul is still alive, and have always thought he was dead!
Sister! Aigoo! Dong Chul!
Mother! It's Hyung, no mistake about it!
Hyung fulfilled his promise. Hyung fulfilled his promise!
Take a look at this, mother!
That's right, Stepmother!
It's oppa, no mistake about it!
- My oppa is still alive! - Aigoo! Dong Chul!
Be quiet you all!
If that fellow is still alive, he should come back!
If he still knows he is the eldest son of our family,
he should still come back even if he's dead.
He thought that by just remitting some money, he has done his part. Jerk!
As far as I'm concerned, him being alive is no difference from being dead.
- Sister! - Mother!
Did we rely on his remitted money to survive?
We have survived till today even without his money.
Our Ki Sun works at the factory.
Our Dong Wook relies on delivering coals,
struggling along the way and tightening his belt to survive till now.
That jerk cannot even be compared to Ki Sun.
Looks like he doesn't have the nerve to disclose his address.
Maybe it's not convenient for him to come back.
That makes him even more useless.
What shameless thing has he done?
Father! That's not it!
It was Shin Tae Hwan who slandered our Dong Chul.
He caused our Dong Chul to be at his wits end.
The crime he has committed in killing the children's father.
The jerk that has committed all types of crime is Shin Tae Hwan.
The baddie lives well, but why must my son be punished on his behalf?
Where's father?
He has gone to the Myeong-Dong church. He said to meet at Cheong Yang station.
Let me send you.
Isn't the news of Dong Chul oppa a happy one?
Look at the picture. Dong Chul oppa!
Father said Dong Chul was Joseph, but the good role was given to you.
He took on the role of a bad person instead.
That's right.
Hyung has always been like that.
He is always giving me the good roles, while he takes on the bad person's role.
This always gives me heartaches.
What's he doing in Macau?
Really missed Dong Chul oppa.
Dong Wook!
Compared to me, do you miss Dong Chul oppa much more?
Don't you two love each other?
Of course I love, but at the same time, I miss you.
It's so great that you're here.
I'm going to go prepare.
What?
Lee Dong Wook being accepted by Seoul University Law faculty,
and the village welcome ceremony.
What?
The villagers are all preparing.
Confident of being accepted?
Who has confidence in that sort of thing?
You!
Don't even know the dirty things Dong Chul is doing,
and how he earned those money.
You're crying because you're touched by the money he remitted?
You know what type of kid Dong Chul is?
How can you say loosely that it's dirty money?
Every piece of remittance receipt emits the smell of Dong Chul's blood.
That's right.
Because of Dong Chul, Dong Wook was caught by gangsters and was almost killed.
You didn't forget, right?
Because of him, we had to hide and encountered many difficulties.
Although we don't know, but those money could possibly sabotage Dong Wook's future.
Burn them or tear them away!
Hello! Hello!
Dong Chul!
Are those cuttlefish caught last night?
The cuttlefish ate us!
Ok! You've worked hard!
- Grandma, is your cough better? - Thank you!
Grandma is old, the time is near for death.
You must live a long life.
Hello!
Lee! There's no more gas! Deliver some over before noon tomorrow!
- Business is good? - It's alright.
- Clear the rubbish as well. - Got it!
Mike! I've been waiting over a month for you.
Yao Ming! You know I have to be careful of the Vietnamese.
I have to give them leeway because of the casino.
My father protects the casino and everything for you.
Now you have no excuse to show your weakness.
You must be honest with me.
Ok! So yes! I know it all! You have fallen in love with that little girl, Grace right?
How long is it this time?
Ten days? Half a month? A month?
No!
This is serious!
How serious?!
Maybe... A lifetime.
Are you crazy, Playboy?
I know I am! But there's something about her that makes me crazy.
She makes me a better person.
I can't give you up!
What's wrong with you?
Do you know how expensive these clothes are?
I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!
You okay?
You bastard!
What are you doing? Your hands!
Let go of my hands!
Mike, don't you see this person is holding my hand?
Let go of her hand!
What?
Do it now!
How can you treat a lady like that?
Can you hear me? Take your hands off of her!
Yao Ming!
Don't know what's wrong!
How unlucky can I get? Nothing works out! Why were you just looking?
Who the hell are you?
I'm just the cleaner, as you can see.
Apologise to her.
I said I was sorry, didn't I?
Show some respect, and apologise again
if you want to keep your job at the restaurant.
Really?
Ok!
I'm really sorry to ruin your shoes! I'm so sorry! OK?
Do you know how smelly it is?
This smell! I've been very unlucky these days!
Really! That bad temper. Really!
What did you say?
You spoke Korean!
Are you Korean?
Know a little Korean language?
Some.
Anyway, thanks!
Thanks for what?
For getting rid of her!
Thanks! Thank you!
Sure knows how to put on an act!
How are you?
Are they all asleep already?
What's this?
What?
How did you know it was my birthday?
How can your sister-in-law not know this?
Here, present for my little brother-in-law.
Oh, really?
Put it on.
How is this?
Ken, today because of you, Dong Chul suffered the whipping.
That scar was all your fault too.
You addiction to gambling, and drugs,
Made you into a useless man.
Who was the one who made you normal again?
You mustn't ever forget that.
Yes. It's all my fault.
Actually, I wanted to cheat him of his money,
But in the end, I lost big.
That's true, back then you were too much.
At that time, I...
My total asset was maybe USD200?
You had the cheek to cheat me of it.
Let's eat now, little brother-in-law.
Having learnt from you,
I've prepared seaweed soup.
Seaweed soup?
Seaweed soup.
Kim-chi.
Mu-wa-gi.
- Bulgogi. - Bul-go-gi.
Bulgogi.
Really?
Mother,
About brother...
There are some things you didn't know.
Stop thinking about him,
I'll take it as he's dead already.
I was the one who started the fire, do you understand?
I will now...
I will now leave.
- Hyung! - You must listen to me carefully.
I was the one who started the fire,
Your brother, Lee Dong Chul, was the arsonist.
Understand?
Hyung!
This is a promise between men to be kept until we die.
You must study hard.
You promised, right?
What took you so long?
What's going on?
Some Vietnamese are stretching some games.
They keep on winning money, we've got to change the dealer.
Which table?
That one.
Can you help?
Don't worry.
Dealer change. Hold on.
Why? You want us to stop when luck's on our side?
Bet on, please.
This guy's not bad looking.
You can keep placing your bets.
You know a little Vietnamese?
Don't worry, please.
Player's card, banker's card.
Player 7
Banker 9. Banker wins.
This guy's got good technique.
You're not a swindler, are you?
Trust me, have a good game.
Betting, please.
No more moves, please.
That guy won't again?
Tell him if he won't do it, we might blow up the floating casino.
So what if he's the son of Macau's casino biggie?
How dare he reject our request to have a precious stone stable from the floating casino?
It shows he doesn't know who our boss is.
Banker wins.
Are you a swindler?
Let go.
Even though we're an underground casino, we have strict rules too.
How do you think I did today?
Well, you were great.
It was easy.
What's this?
What?
Where is my rebate? I did real well today.
Hey, come on, you're close enough.
And you know business has been bad lately.
You almost lost your club if I wasn't able to stop them, you know?
Okay.
Oh really. What's this?
Are you kidding me?
Look, I know, I know you're upset.
But you're still an illegal immigrant, you know?
It's all I can do to keep the club going.
Oh, he's so stingy. See you!
Dong Wook?
I've arrived home.
When I got back,
the village folks already started making placards
for your acceptance into Seoul University law faculty.
The venue is to be at the primary school where we studied.
Are you listening, Dong Wook?
What if I don't get accepted? Such elaborate preparations.
Who's this?
Who else? Other than Shin Myung Hun, who else will call you?
You were invited to the completion ceremony today.
You didn't attend so where did you go instead?
That was a one-sided appointment you made.
Why should I attend the completion ceremony?
The welcome-back ceremony...
Give it up.
What place is that? How dare they welcome Lee Ki Chul's son?
Is there a need to instigate those coal miners?
Who is it?
Is this the residence of Lee Dong Wook?
Yes.
Yes but who are you?
I'm here to see Lee Dong Wook. Please open the door.
Lee Dong Wook... are you the one?
Yes, it's me...
I'm Daehan Daily's reporter Lee Min Suk.
Congratulations, Lee Dong Wook.
You are the top candidate accepted into Seoul University's Law Faculty.
What did you just say?
Lee Dong Wook is the top candidate accepted into Seoul University's Law Faculty.
Hyung-nim.
Did you hear that?
Oppa!
Lee Dong Wook, do you have a special reason for wanting to get into the law faculty?
How do you feel now?
Any special reasons?
Please tell us your future plans.
Mother.
Dong Wook.
You've worked hard.
Good.
We interviewed this year's top candidate
for Seoul University's Law Faculty, Lee Dong Wook.
Since senior high, you have been delivering coal as a part-time job,
is that related to your father being a coal miner in the past?
Please tell us.
I was born as a coal miner's son in a mining village.
I heard your father died of a mining accident.
I have never viewed it as an accident,
But he did pass away.
What do you mean?
Although it is often heard,
there are still aggrieved deaths in this world.
That's what I will say.
It seems you have a special reason for applying to the Law Faculty.
It's a promise.
Promise?
To my brother...
A promise.
Is it related to your father being a labor movement representative when he was alive?
Yes.
L-E-E, Lee...K-I, Ki...C-H-U-L, Chul.
In my hometown,
there are still many who will remember my father's name.
It's not an exaggeration,
But in this coal, I can feel my father's presence.
To make each and every piece of coal,
Still bleeding and sweating in the suffocating coal mines today,
Are all the elders of the mining village,
And I want to share this honor with them.
They are despised for being poor, Ostracized for being powerless.
Even when they are wronged, they can only linger on while getting worse.
I want to serve all such people.
This was the desire of my deceased father who died in the mine.
Also that of my mother who wants to be go to Seoul University's Law Faculty,
And the one who's supporting my studies,
My brother's desire too.
I will study hard there.
That was the interview with the top candidate for Seoul University's Law Faculty, Lee Dong Wook.
Tae Sung Coal Mine killed his innocent father,
He's declared it to the whole world.
Grandfather,
Lee Dong Wook's family since childhood days,
Has been reprising his father's death over and over,
Instigating the crowds.
Just on the fact that I'm the son of the Coal Mine Director,
They hate me to death too.
Have they been fully compensated?
Of course.
Although it's the word of a student, it's still chilling to hear.
When Tae Sung Coal Mine's workers hear this, they'll be more blood raged.
Let's not dwell on this anymore.
Our Myung Han also made it into Seoul University's Business Faculty, didn't he?
Let's change the subject.
Hello?
Aigoo, Chief Executive Hong,
I didn't expect you to call so early in the morning.
What?
How is that possible? No, this is new to me.
Is that so?
Is the information accurate?
Yes, yes, I know.
Thank you for letting me know.
What is the matter, father?
Don't you know the character of President Guk?
How dare you make a move on him!
That man's wealth, power and political strength is so far-reaching,
Don't you know?
To tell you the truth,
Where did his great power and wealth originate from?
The casinos created his great empire.
If you harbor any of that ambition,
go bow down and apologize to President Guk immediately.
Go show remorse that Tae Sung should not covet that industry.
Otherwise give up on Macau's harbor construction.
What?
President Guk is going to intervene in Macau's harbor construction.
We, who acquire and exist on construction, this should be our response.
Who is the one who supported your casino and introduced you to the Minister?
You stupid blockhead!
How can I collaborate with a stupid blockhead like you?
You jerk,
Didn't I tell you not to mention about the casino, not even to your wife?
How dare you mention it so openly to President Oh?
I didn't mention it openly.
President Guk mentioned it to him, Mother.
You only address me as mother when you get anxious.
You jerk, how many pieces did you given to the Minister?
It's not a small sum to me so I reduced it by one.
You... Damn!
You jerk!
What did I tell you?
Didn't I tell you it's difficult even when take your heart out?
You jerk!
Go and die in front of President Guk!
That's the only way out now!
Mother,
address me as the grand dame of the loan shark market, you jerk.
Let me ask you one more question.
President Guk's secretary just left this place.
You're such a blockhead but your eyes are real quick.
President Guk shouldn't need to borrow money,
So why was his secretary here?
Just know it well and use it to your advantage.
Thank you, mother.
When will In Hwan return to Korea?
Are you changing the subject now?
Although I'm his enrichment teacher when he was a kid,
no matter how, he's still my student.
How arrogant!
If you really did miss him,
then the Jae Woo whom you abandoned,
Do you still remember?
You are a man buried deep in sins.
When I think of Jae Woo, my hatred won't be appeased even if I killed you.
Thanks!
I'm here.
Jae Woo, help me get this down.
Boss, Dong Chul oppa is here.
Dong Chul!
- Dong Chul! - Yes?
Look at this.
The news you've been waiting for is out in the papers.
See!
Your brother's name is Lee Dong Wook, right?
The top candidate accepted into Seoul University's Law Faculty.
Dong Chul hyung!
Long live success!
Come back quickly!
We'll meet again soon!
Higher than the heavens,
In this world, I love you the most!
Lee Dong Wook, you're my brother, right?
- You're my brother. - Dong Chul's father,
Dong Chul says he loves you more than the heavens,
Dong Chul says he loves you...
More than the heavens.
Dong Chul says he loves you...
More than the heavens.
Dong Wook!
Mother!
First, you cruelly stepped on the edge of my heart.
Then you challenged me on the transfer of the international hotel.
Isn't it all for the casino business?
No, Mr President,
Not the casino, Mr President.
Even if you say so, it's too late.
How should I say it?
On the same piece of ground,
tealeaves, which grow from bathing under the same sun,
will differ according to how it was picked, dried and fermented.
The flavor can be completely different.
Poles apart.
In the world of tealeaves or business.
Or the world of ignorance.
The ambition, which you think can be bought with money,
is your blind intervention.
Suddenly one day, you drink a poison tea,
then you fall down without any strength, I've seen such examples many times.
Really.
If I have been ignorant in any way.
Please forgive my foolishness.
You sure bring trouble to others.
Chairman Shin.
Raise your head. It's too late now.
The Macau harbor construction tender will be awarded to us.
President,
Macau harbor construction, Tae Sung has bet its all on it.
It's of utmost importance to us.
The tender for Macau's harbor construction,
is decided by Macau's emperor Steven Packer, shouldn't you know this fact already?
The relationship between Steven Packer and I,
is no different from being brothers.
Tae Sung shouldn't bet its all on it, you should withdraw as soon as possible.
That's the wisest thing to do.
President,
Macau's harbor general has already arrived at the hotel.
You should make a move now.
I'm not sure what favor you're asking of me,
but I'm only responsible for serving the President.
Is that so?
A man who's only responsible for serving the President,
why would he be frequenting a loan shark?
You're frequenting a loan shark,
must you be that surprised?
Why?
President Guk doesn't know about this?
Did you say you are Chairman Shin Tae Hwan?
From Tae Sung Construction.
Can you give me some time?
Yes. I'll contact you.
Arrange a business trip to Hong Kong.
What?
Yes.
I can't sit and wait for Macau to fall into somebody else's hands.
Macau's Steven Packer and President Guk are really close...
If Steven Packer won't do,
then through his son's long-lost relative or whatever, we must find a way.
I understand.
If he doesn't then tell them we might blow up the floating restaurant.
Where is the boss?
At the 2nd level restaurant.
Call the police!
Police!
Sign.
You know you're making a big mistake.
Our boss has the power to blow this restaurant into pieces.
And you should be thankful that he's being this gentle.
Just sign it.
Fine, I'll sign it.
But let the girl go.
Would you let the girl go if you were me?
Just sign the damn thing!
Mike!
Where's the boss?
Oh! There you are!
You're so dead.
What are you doing?
What else? Putting on a show, man.
Get out quick.
Listen to what I say,
I'm taking your boss.
Get out of here.
Take the girl and go.
Go, girl.
Go, hurry!
The guy from the gambling den!
No use pretending. Shove off.
If you don't go, we'll shoot your head off.
Or we'll shoot at your legs too.
Shoot me. Shoot!
Shoot at me!
I'll shoot at your head and I'll shoot at your legs too.
Calm down. Put that down. Put that down.
You know what's going to happen?
- Let's go. - Do it. Do it!
They tell me they're holding a welcome back ceremony for Lee Ki Chul's son at the hometown,
Who is the owner of this place? Who is your woman?
Show it to them.
Dong Wook!
- Get over there! - Ji Hyun,
Don't see Ji Hyun any longer.
I'm Lee Dong Wook.
I'm Min Hye Rin.
How do you know?
I think he's enamored with you,
Don't miss out, hold onto him.
- Want to eat this? - Beggar!
Since I have a boyfriend in Hong Kong, so I came.
A friend who's running a huge fleet of ships.
Just like Onassis.
To become a shipping magnate is his dream.
In a man's life, a woman is nothing.
But not for me, Father! Not for me!
Are you Janice?
Yes, I'm Janice.
I'm so scared.
I'm scared that your mum will separate us.
Hold on tight.
Thanks for sending me back, Beggar Ahjussi!
