East of Eden

Episode 33

Listen carefully Shin Myung Hun... listen carefully before you die!

Listen carefully before you die, Shin Myung Hun...

You are not Shin Tae Hwan's blood son!

Shin Tae Hwan isn't your father. Even if you die, you have to die knowing the truth!

Shin Tae Hwan!

You tried to kill me once again!

You should have died in front of me!

President...

Shin Myung Hun...

You should be thankful that Shin Tae Hwan isn't your father.

President...

He is not your father!

The kids at the orphanage drew this picture of Dong Chul oppa?

Episode 33

Yes.

Here are some of the letters they wrote to Dong Chul.

Oppa is fast becoming the Chief of the orphanage.

And this...

It's a gratitude plate from the people of Kangwondo.

They asked me to hand it to Dong Chul.

The effort and devotion given by Dong Chul to Hwangji province...

I don't think anybody can surpass that.

That's why we say like father, like son.

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae hasn't dropped by lately, has she?

Yes...

She hasn't, right?

Yes.

I thought she lived abroad.

Is she still in Korea?

What's wrong, Father?

Is something bothering you?

Hyungnim, what are you talking about?

Aigoo... aigoo...

Aigoo, Father, so you have come.

Come, greet the Father.

Father, nice to meet you.

You have probably sinned too much... that's why you're stuttering.

You... Say hello too.

He likes Ki Sun.

Yes.

Hi, nice to meet you...

What's wrong?

You're freaking out because you've sinned too much, too?

You better go home and remove your make-up.

I just came back from the filming set, that's why.

Father, you will see my name in the closing credits of some of the movies out there soon.

I heard you're a producer?

Yes. I was the one who produced Strawberry Lady.

Now I'm working for Dong Chul.

He conned a lot of people before he came to work under Dong Chul.

Didn't you?

I can't say that I've never done it before in front of you, Father.

Wang Gun, Oppa...

Aigoo...

He has also committed too many sins... Look at how he's freaking out.

Father...

What should I do if I want to get married?

Hey kid... haven't I told you before? Just go according to the steps I've told you.

First you go deep into the backwoods, and then don't ever come out.

What? You also want to trick her into marrying you?

Well... Maybe both of you should pray first?

Pray?

I'm back...

Father, you have come?

Haven't seen you in a very long time, Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

I heard you're the darling of the DA Special Unit?

I'm no darling... I'm still in the process of learning.

Since Dong Wook is back...

Why don't we have dinner together, Father?

- Go prepare. - All right.

Shin Myung Hun...

You should be thankful that Shin Tae Hwan isn't your father.

- President... - He is not your father!

Shin Myung Hun...

Why are you here?

I'm asking you why you're here.

Rebecca...

I was sitting in the same car.

What did you just say?

Does your father know about this?

What about my father?

So you're still not aware.

Right.

Your father nearly killed his son.

The police told me... it's not just a simple accident.

Only Shin Tae Hwan has the guts to do this.

How... what proof do you have?

Because I understand Shin Tae Hwan... no...

I understand him to the core of his bones...

Shin Myung Hun, where are you going?

I have to ask Rebecca something.

The patient requires absolute peace right now, don't you know?

I need to confirm something with Rebecca!

Shin Myung Hun.

You should ask your father if you want confirmation.

Right?

Go ask him.

That's right.

It's true that Tae Ho's a smart kid.

He has what it takes to become Tae Sung's 4th successor.

Only when I look at Tae Ho, will I have complete peace... happiness.

Quickly make a move, Grandfather.

Alright, alright...

Why is Myung Hun so late? Did he say where he's going?

He should be home soon.

Tae Ho's father, are you hurt?

What happened?

Daddy...

Did you fall down?

Go and put Tae Ho to sleep.

Myung Hun... What happened to your face?

I got into an accident.

What accident are you talking about?

I nearly died.

- You nearly died? - Yes.

I...

Your son, Shin Myung Hun...

Was in Rebecca's car.

Why did you get into the car?

I don't know.

It's probably fate, that as your son, I will have to die in your hands.

I asked you, why did you get into the car?!

I followed your business philosophy...

I knelt in front of our enemy, just for the sake of Tae Sung.

Honey, what on earth is he talking about?

Right.

I also don't have a clue what he's talking about.

Can't you see the wounds on my body?!

Your son nearly died at your hands!

Honestly, what is your relationship with Rebecca?

Honey, what are you doing?

Are you drunk?

Honey...

There are secrets in our family that we don't even know about.

If we don't pay attention...

We will probably end up dead any time now.

What does Myung Hun mean by that?

You seem to understand the meaning behind it.

Tae Ho's father...

What's happened to you?

Tae Ho's father!

I almost died at the hands of Father.

What?

There are some secrets.

Some that we do not know of...

What are they?

I don't know.

Before they are uncovered...

Ji Hyun... What did Myung Hun say?

Why is it that after taking a ride with Rebecca,

Myung Hun has become like this?

One really can't know the limits of your father's sins.

Oh... Mother...

You are even more hardworking now, compared to when you were having exams.

Has Hyung called?

I don't know why he is so busy.

I have not seen him in a very long time.

Yeah.

He hasn't even called much. I have a lot to tell him.

You heard from the Father, right?

Even being so busy, he still cares for the people in our hometown.

People say that...

He should just represent our hometown and become a politician.

He is smarter than I am.

He will be the same in the future.

When are you going to get me a daughter-in-law?

You want to have grandkids already?

Yeah.

You don't have to worry.

True.

I have nothing to be dissatisfied about.

Work hard.

Honey.

Don't switch on the lights.

Honey...

What's wrong?

What is it that you can't tell me?

Tae Ho's father,

I can understand.

You took a ride in Rebecca's car...

You don't understand.

There's someone who wants Rebecca's life...

You don't understand!

That was father's doing.

And it almost cost you your life.

Am I right?

If only that was the case...

After so many brushes with death, I can still be here with you...

And Tae Ho.

Then what is the problem?

Is it because I asked you to meet Rebecca that you're unhappy with me?

Yes, I am unhappy.

That's nothing to me. I understand now.

I understand how you feel about your father.

Yes.

It's been like that since I was young.

Always thinking, if only he wasn't my father. I still feel the same right now.

If only he wasn't my father.

I really feel like disowning him!

If only he wasn't my father...

Shh... Tae Ho will hear you.

He is your father...

And also Tae Ho's grandfather.

Thank you.

Dong Chul.

You're awake.

You're lucky that your injuries are not serious.

All because of my negligence... I'm sorry.

How did you find out?

The first thing they found in your bag was my contact number.

Thank you.

You can go about your own business now.

Dong Wook.

Hyung.

Shh... don't wake the others.

Why is it so difficult to see you?

Why are you so busy?

You know, right?

Mother lays your bed out and waits for you to come back everyday.

That's why she leaves the main door open?

It's not your incapability as a prosecutor... that Shin Tae Hwan's released.

That's not gonna make me feel better.

He didn't mention me?

I can imagine what he's said.

Dong Wook...

No matter what, you must do your best as a prosecutor.

Lee Dong Wook.

Are you miffed by what I said?

I believe you, Hyung.

Don't.

Prosecutors should be impartial, and should not trust anyone so easily.

I heard that the devil chief of the DA Special Unit finds it hard to sleep at night, too.

How did you know about that?

Mr. Chun.

That guy...

I've met him... as a criminal suspect.

Personally?

He talked about you.

He...

was the one who bailed me out, right?

Although it hurts me,

I told him not to talk about personal matters anymore.

Tae Sung Electronics? Hyung?!

It's such a huge matter... what do you have in mind?

Why?

Mr. Prosecutor already looking down on his elder brother?

It has nothing to do with you being a prosecutor, don't worry too much.

You are indeed smarter than I am.

I haven't decided yet. Don't be too taken aback.

Just sleep.

Still sleeping?

Not going to work?

You... made a mistake yesterday.

You shouldn't have said those things in front of your mother and Ji Hyun.

Those sorts of things shouldn't be said aloud.

"Are you hurt?"

"Are you all right?" Shouldn't you be asking me these?

Am I...

...not your son?

Last night's accident, if I had died instead of Rebecca...

How would you feel, Father?

Are you still going to keep it quiet?

Myung Hun...

You know...

That scheming woman who threatened to destroy Tae Sung...

Father!

If you were to choose between your son and Tae Sung...

How would you choose?

It doesn't matter whether I am dead or alive,

as long as you can save Tae Sung, right?

You have to live, and so does Tae Sung!

Risking one's life for his children... Isn't that what a parent should do or feel?

Of course!

Because of that, you are not injured badly.

Father!

Am I really your son?

You're out of your mind.

Spouting this kind of nonsense...

Get yourself together and go to work.

Honey...

Drink some honey water.

What did father say?

I'm going out.

Where're you going?

I'm going out.

Eat this.

Mom... really...

Are you going to continue with this habit?

How can I change my habits?

Eat this.

You too. Can't you change your old habits?

Isn't he your son?

I am also your son.

Eat more.

Honestly, when are you going to settle down?

Even Wang Gun is anxious.

Then just let Ki Sun marry first.

It's still early for me.

When?

Mother, Hyung has important stuff to tend to.

- Hyung, he... - Dong Wook.

What do you mean?

Nothing. Just eat, Mom, it's getting cold.

Have you seen the gratitude plate from the people of Kangwondo?

He's earned recognition from the people of Kangwondo.

Mom, please eat.

Where is this coming from, huh?

Quickly eat.

Yes.

Here you go.

Who are you?

I'm here to see the patient.

Visitation is not allowed.

I was the one who was in the same car as Rebecca.

You look familiar.

It's very urgent.

Don't you see my wounds?

Are you okay?

Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?

The dripping will last for another 2 hours.

The medicine's here.

Excuse me.

I have something important to discuss with the patient. Can we have some privacy?

Madam Rebecca. I am Shin Myung Hun.

You know what I am going to ask you, right?

The words you said to me in the car yesterday...

You said I am not my father's son.

What did you mean by that?

What are you talking about?

What?

Didn't you say that I am not my father's son?!?

I don't remember having ever said that.

Then...

It was a slip of your tongue?

So you said something that you shouldn't have?

You've let out your deepest secret by accident?

I would never make such a mistake.

Then you must have said the truth.

That I am not my father's son?

You must have known earlier to have said it in the first place.

Right?

Madam Rebecca...

How much do you know about me?!

Listen here...

I've said it before.

I don't remember ever saying anything like that.

Last night's accident...

You said it was my father's doing.

You don't remember saying this too?

Madam Rebecca!

Whose son you are... You find out yourself somewhere else!

So you're admitting it?

Right?

Leave.

Leave! Leave!

Please leave.

Take him away.

Madam Rebecca! Madam Rebecca!

Shin Myung Hun.

What are you doing here again?

Have you confirmed that the accident yesterday was your father's doing?

Shin Myung Hun. Look at me.

Look at me!

What kind of person your father is...

Now only you know.

Right?

You found out that your father nearly killed his own son.

Am I right?

Lee Dong Chul here.

Are you all right?

I heard that Shin Myung Hun came to bother you.

What happened?

Nothing.

He came for Tae Sung.

Don't worry.

You're so busy, what are you doing here?

I had a feeling that you'd know about Tae Sung Electronics bid.

Of course.

It seems like the candidate list... has been confirmed.

The judging panel has already started their evaluation.

That's good news.

You'd better be more careful, and don't take it too easy.

Please rest well.

Everyone...

The way I see it, there is something tricky about the clause

regarding the bidding price inside the agreement.

What are you referring to?

The majority shareholders...

Do your best to provide transparent information.

Lawyer Choi, do you get what I mean about �doing your best?"

How much am I expecting?

And how much Shin Tae Hwan is expecting?

They say the best I can do is provide this information. Am I to accept it just like that?

Form a consultation team by today.

Do not miss a single word!

No matter what, I'm not gonna lose a cent to Shin Tae Hwan!

President...

What exactly is your motive for buying Tae Sung Electronics?

You don't have to know.

Later...

When the bidding committee is established,

I will bring Lee Dong Chul in.

By the time Lee Dong Chul appears as Chairman of the committee,

it will be an exciting treat for us.

Okay?

Yes, President.

Get yourselves together.

I heard from your mother.

I cannot see Tae Sung crumble before my eyes.

I...

Have already decided to pass Tae Sung on to you.

Grandfather.

Myung Hun, you just listen.

You...

Should be able to understand what I'm trying to tell you.

It will not be over even if your father finds out about this.

Are you willing to listen to my words?

Grandfather.

Even if your grandfather bequeaths everything to you in his will...

It's useless if you don't succeed Tae Sung.

So please say that you will listen to your grandfather's words.

Grandfather.

Please give me some more time to think about it.

What more do you have to think about?

Honey...

I think I take after father, for not loving our child as much as I can.

If you want to carry out a DNA test,

you will need at least 5 strands of hair.

Or you can extract saliva from the mouth with a cotton bud,

and pass them to us for testing.

- Daddy is a lazy bum. - Honey...

- It's time for breakfast. - Daddy, wake up.

Honey.

Honey...

What's wrong?

Are you feeling uncomfortable?

How long have you been like this?

Honey, did anybody call me?

No.

What is actually going on with you?

You have been acting strange... and you're not yourself lately.

Daddy.

Daddy, it's time for us to eat breakfast.

You're right.

It's time for us to eat.

We'll go eat breakfast together.

Myung Hun, what have you been busy doing lately?

Is the candidate selection for the Tae Sung Electronics bid going on smoothly?

Myung Hun.

Are you listening?

Yes.

I heard that you haven't been to the company these few days.

You facing some problems?

What's wrong with him...

Hello?

Is this Shin Myung Hun's residence?

Yes, I'm Shin Myung Hun.

Are you Shin Myung Hun in person?

Yes.

The DNA test results are out.

Are you listening?

Yes, I'm listening.

Please drop by when it's convenient for you.

All right.

Thanks a lot.

Honey, what was that?

Noth...nothing...

Daddy, are you sick?

No.

Eat up.

Tae Ho, you must eat more.

Myung Hun.

Is something amiss with the Tae Sung Electronics bid?

No.

But you come home late every night.

Mother...

No...

You're still acting strangely.

Father,

I will take care of Tae Sung Electronics bid.

I will go to work.

Tae Ho, you have to eat more, okay?

Daddy, you have to eat more.

Honey.

What is it?

What is it?

Today you will have to tell me what's going on.

Honey...

Wait for me.

Until I say it out...

At least please try to be patient for now.

Listen carefully before you die, Shin Myung Hun...

You are not Shin Tae Hwan's blood son!

Shin Tae Hwan is not your father... Even if you die, you have to die knowing the truth!

Do you understand?!

Here are your DNA test results.

We have tested 12 different types of STR genes.

You and your father's DNA type...

do not match.

A father-son relationship is not possible.

If the specimens you provided us are genuine,

I can assure you that both of you are not father and son...

You are not blood related.

If something obstructed your way in attaining your ambitions,

Even if I was pregnant with your child,

You're a devil who just ripped open my stomach and took away a life.

This I cannot forgive.

You don't seem to take after your father.

Is that so?

The day when Myung Hun was born...

He could nearly have died in that woman's hands.

Myung Hun...

You are lucky to be still alive right now... if not for God's blessing and protection.

You are my son.

Yes, you are my son.

But we're different in so many ways.

You are not Shin Tae Hwan's blood son!

Shin Tae Hwan is not your father... If you die, you have to die knowing the truth!

- The day Myung Hun was born... - You are not Shin Tae Hwan's blood son...

- You are my son... - You don't seem to take after your father...

You and your father's DNA type... do not match.

A father-son relationship is not possible.

If the specimens you provided us are genuine,

I can assure you that both of you are not father and son...

The candidate list for Tae Sung Electronics bid will be announced soon.

Provide Lee Dong Chul with the financial support he needs.

Do not let anyone know that I am behind this.

You have to make sure it's done.

Yes, I will remember.

Right...

Madam Baek from Hansae Daily called to say that she will be arriving soon.

What are you doing here again?

He's a visitor I have been waiting for.

Go arrange my discharge from the hospital.

I got it.

I...

Am a visitor you have been waiting for?

So...

You already knew I would come again?

Just like what you said,

I am not Shin Tae Hwan's son.

It's just like what you said in the car the other day!

I am not Shin Tae Hwan's son.

You...

Used other people to avenge on your unborn child's behalf...

And turned their lives upside down.

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae.

Say it.

The shocking secret that only you know of.

How long do you expect to keep it a secret?

Please say it in front of me right now.

I, the one who isn't Shin Tae Hwan's son...

I, the one standing in front of you...

Who am I?

Say it out!

It seems like you have already found out before you came here.

Keep going.

According to what I know..

You committed something unforgivable, something dreadful.

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae.

You held Shin Tae Hwan's newborn son in your hands in Hwangji hospital back then...

The very same Shin Tae Hwan that you want revenge on for killing your unborn child...

But you couldn't bring yourself to kill the baby.

That night...

Another baby was born at the same time in the hospital, and you switched them.

That baby was me.

You couldn't do it, so you switched the lives of Shin Tae Hwan's son and the other baby!

And that was me.

Am I right?

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae!

You said it as if you were there the other night.

Keep on going.

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae...

I asked you to keep going...

Who are you? It's my turn to ask you.

The baby which was born on the same day as Shin Tae Hwan's son...

Was Lee Ki Chul's son, Lee Dong Wook.

And the baby was me, Shin Myung Hun.

Right?

You...

Switched Lee Ki Chul and Shin Tae Hwan's sons.

This is the shocking secret that you have been trying to keep all this while.

Right?

You're indeed a smart person.

You're indeed not Shin Tae Hwan's son.

Don't rush, listen to what I have to say.

Either way you will find out sooner or later.

You just found out about it earlier.

Shin Tae Hwan's the one who killed the baby in my womb, the murderer of your father.

That murderer...

Shall be prosecuted by his own son.

Father and son shall be at opposing sides, facing each other as accused and prosecutor.

Shin Tae Hwan's son became a prosecutor.

That wasn't part of my plan.

A father, to be destroyed by his own son.

If that ends up being the last of Shin Tae Hwan,

it will be the sweetest revenge ever.

It's what I have been wishing for.

The truth in fact...

Is more in your favor right now.

You are not human.

The fire of hell is even too good for you. You're the devil amongst the devils.

Although I switched the babies with my own hands,

don't forget that Shin Tae Hwan was the root of all of this.

And remember that he is your enemy right now.

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae.

Rebecca...

Yes, Hyungnim.

I am discussing something important.

Can you wait for a while?

I will wait for you at the President's office, Rebecca.

All right.

You don't have much time now.

So...

This shocking secret... will be our secret from now on, right?

I can reveal this anytime now.

But if I do it...

You will lose everything.

What else is there for me to lose?

You turned other people's lives upside down.

Yet you still feel no remorse at all?

Is it to be a secret forever...

Or to make it a public matter...

The decision is in your hands.

I'm all right with anything.

You're crazy.

You're even more devilish than Shin Tae Hwan!

President, what happened?

I think that's enough for today.

You should go back.

Go back and face reality, and make a decision.

Either you reveal the secret.

Or we keep it to ourselves forever.

You're not gonna let go right away?

Are you all right?

What have you found out from the investigation of his accounts?

Will Shin Tae Hwan come to us on his own?

But it's a fact that he has committed a crime.

We can't just sit put and do nothing.

Aren't you aware of the support behind Shin Tae Hwan? Don't you know?

The bigger his backbone, the more I want to hit back on him.

Are you confident in not associating your personal grudges with this case?

I promise you.

It's not just the pressure from outside.

We're also facing pressure internally.

It's not gonna be easy.

Whose accounts are these?

Overseas accounts that we've confirmed to have at least a single transaction with Tae Sung,

namely, overseas accounts of Seoul's Shin Tae Hwan.

But if there is something fishy about these transactions...

If it's an overseas account that he uses, do you think...

He would use his own name for the transactions?

Such an idea, we can use to our benefit.

First of all, let's do things slowly, step by step.

Let's start from the records 10 years ago. We'll do it like how we catch louses.

There should be copies of the bank records in the microfilms.

If Shin Tae Hwan discovers that we're investigating his bank accounts, perhaps...

Shin Tae Hwan probably wouldn't have used his real name to keep his money.

If we don't mention Shin Tae Hwan's name, I don't think anybody will find out.

They're all fake accounts after all.

Sir...

If they find out that we're pursuing Shin Tae Hwan,

Do you think his supporters behind his back will show up?

Well, we'll just apply for a court order first.

Nobody from their side knows it's Shin Tae Hwan's accounts that we're investigating.

Are we going to the end of everything this time?

When exactly...

Will we be able to see the end?

I can't see the end of everything right now. But we'll have to try our best.

I must prosecute this guy, and let him be judged by the court.

I got it.

Let's start from 10 years ago.

Lee Dong Wook speaking.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Shin Myung Hun here.

Shin Myung Hun?

Yes, it's me, Lee Dong Wook.

It's me.

Shin Myung Hun.

Get to the point.

I need to see you.

Right now.

Why should I see you?

I want to see you.

Please, Lee Dong Wook.

You want to meet the Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook?

I can't be away for too long.

I'm in front of the DA office right now.

The monster murderer who killed my father!

Dong Wook!

Dong Wook!

Dong Wook!

Dong Wook!

You have no idea how much our child likes Dong Wook.

They were born on the same day in the same hospital. They have the same birthday.

He has always remembered, and he really likes him.

You...

Don't seem to take after your father.

Shin Myung Hun.

There are plenty of people who are born on the same day.

But we arrived crying together, on the same day, in the same hospital.

It's interesting.

That's right.

I also liked you the minute I saw you.

Shin Myung Hun.

Shin Myung Hun.

It's been a long time.

We're not in a position to be saying hi to each other, right?

What are you here for?

You're right.

You wouldn't come to see for nothing, up until this moment.

What do you want to know?

I'm asking you, what do you want to know.

What I want to know is...

In the end, it's still because of your father.

The other day Shin Tae Hwan...

Got away with his doings by his conniving ways.

But don't loosen up.

He'll be back before me in no time.

When is this...

How long will you continue on with this?

Until Shin Tae Hwan kneels down in front of me.

He will pay for all the sins he has committed, don't you know?

I swear on my name as a prosecutor,

that I will bring your father back to court. So just go back.

Lee Dong Wook.

Have you ever thought of...

Perhaps...

You...

Because of some bizarre incident...

Your wish might not come to realization.

Shin Myung Hun.

Human fate...

Is unpredictable, isn't it?

You came here to see me, what crap about "fate" are you talking about?

You trying to threaten me?

Are you not supposed to kneel down in front of me and beg for forgiveness,

on behalf of your father Shin Tae Hwan?

Lee Dong Wook...

Even if I kneel down,

and beg for forgiveness,

you still won't let Shin Tae Hwan off, right?

That is impossible.

What's on your mind?

What is it?

Is it...

That Ji Hyun is in some kind of trouble?

Did something happen to Ji Hyun?

Ji Hyun...

I don't know.

Who knows what will happen.

I'm busy, and you came here to talk some nonsensical crap.

Lee Dong Wook.

You stutter and tremble because of such a small matter.

How can you be Tae Sung's successor?

Give up your management power, and go wherever you want to go!

Now only I understand.

No matter how I strive and work hard,

I will never be like you, President Shin Tae Hwan.

The panel has already confirmed the candidates list for the Tae Sung Electronics bid.

We've done it, right?

Hyung, you've succeeded.

Dong Wook.

It is the truth that you have stepped on me.

What were you thinking about when you did that?

Without Tae Sung, I am nothing to you right?

What the hell is going on?! You're making it difficult for me!

Something is wrong, and it's something big.

The person we're against is Shin Tae Hwan.

We need more concrete proof.

You find out more about the documents in that suitcase.

And hand them over to the Tax Department.

Lee Dong Wook will soon have to investigate Guk Dae Hwa and Lee Dong Chul.

At least I wanted to become a son that you can be proud of, Mother.

Just by the fact that you're my son...

I managed to survive and hold on until now.
