East of Eden

Episode 37

Hyung.

I'm your real younger brother.

I'm your younger brother!

I... am not Shin Myung Hun.

I'm Lee Dong Wook.

I'm Lee Dong Wook!

What the hell are you talking about?!

Episode 37

We'll return soon.

We'll return soon.

Okay. And dream some good dreams.

Hurry and go, hmm?

Who were those punks?

What punks came to someone's once-in-a-lifetime wedding and made a shambles of it?

Dong Chul, did they come because of you?

Mother, it wasn't because of hyung.

Then what?!

Is it because of the man Dong Chul works for?

I will speak with you later separately, Mother.

Has Lee Dong Chul still not yet escaped that thug?

It's not because of Dong Chul.

Shin Tae Hwan sent those thugs.

And also...

There are quite a few guests who want to see and be seen by Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

What the what?

To invite those worthless types of guests...

Is that why you became a prosecutor?

Did you become a prosecutor to throw this deluxe sort of wedding?

You guys figured you've succeeded...

So you put on a luxury wedding to show a good face?

For who to see?!

Mother, let's first get in the car.

Dong Wook, did you send invitations all over to act like the big shot prosecutor?

No, it wasn't like that.

From what I see... you boys still have a long way to go.

A long way from success.

It's cold, Mother, please get in the car.

I'll explain on the way.

Don't explain.

You successful boys can ride in the luxury car.

For me, I can't even justify bus fare.

Crazy fools.

Crazy fools.

Hyungnim!

Aigoo...

Don't.

Take mother inside.

You're Shin Myung Hun.

And more importantly...

You're Tae Ho's father.

The most precious thing to us is Tae Ho.

Just think about one thing.

Our Tae Ho...

No matter what happens,

Must become successor to the Tae Sung business.

The most precious thing to us is Tae Ho.

Get out!

Talk to me.

What you said about not being Shin Myung Hun, but Lee Dong Wook.

What does that mean?

It was nonsense.

No.

You weren't speaking nonsense.

- It was nonsense. - Talk!

- It was nonsense. - Talk!

It was nonsense!

Talk.

You won't talk?

Talk, you bastard!

Talk.

Talk!

I told you it was nonsense.

You won't talk?

Talk, you bastard.

Talk.

Talk.

Get up.

Talk. Talk!

It will be better for you to think it was nonsense.

Hyungnim.

Hyungnim!

No.

Why that...

Why that, that stupid girl...

No. Why that stupid girl!

Why didn't you go your own way instead of crawling back here?

Huh? Why did you crawl back here, you fiend?!

Why'd you crawl back here, you wench?!

What's the matter, Hyungnim?

Are you crying?

Because there was an incident... On Ki Sun's wedding day...

Did it make you that upset?

Yes, it did.

Don't be like that...

For the sake of this Jung Ja, who always followed you.

That's right.

For what unknown reason...

did you always follow me,

and live this regrettable life?

Really.

Always... now or then,

Why I wanted to follow you around without ever hearing a warm word...

I don't really know either.

That's right.

On your daughter's wedding day...

You could have ridden in a luxury car.

And it would have been nice to gloat a bit.

So why... did you follow me and ride the bus?

Even if I ride the bus, it's good to be with you.

In all the world, there's no idiot like you.

After burying Lee Ki Chul,

When you took your bag, left, and came back...

Back then, you berated me too.

"That wretch..."

"That mad wretch."

Asking me why I came.

Were you so glad to see me,

To the point of berating me?

So glad, my foot.

You still can't say what you mean.

Shin Myung Hun...

Are you really going to keep talking nonsense?

Huh?

If you're not Shin Tae Hwan's son...

Who are you saying is your father?

Tell me.

Shin Myung Hun.

Look at me closely, Hyung.

See if you don't see your face in mine.

And in my eyes...

See if you don't see your late father's eyes.

If there aren't any similarities.

Shin Myung Hun.

You...?

What...?

Hyung.

I'm not Shin Tae Hwan's son.

Lee...

Ki-ja*

Chul-ja*

That gentleman...

Is my father.

- Shin Myung Hun. - I'll tell you.

What you and I find hard to believe.

I'll tell you the truth.

Okay.

Okay.

Talk.

At Tae Baek hospital,

There was a nurse named Yoo Mi Ae.

Shin Tae Hwan got her in trouble, and she became pregnant.

Shin Tae Hwan, who had plans to become the Tae Sung Group successor,

Kidnapped Nurse Yoo Mi Ae, who was carrying his child.

He pulled out a living child from her belly and killed it.

Coming back with her body empty,

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae, who was supposed to have borne Shin Tae Hwan's child,

Could not bring herself to kill Shin Tae Hwan's son.

But instead...

Picked up another baby born on the same night,

And swapped him with Shin Tae Hwan's son.

She swapped the babies?

That's right.

You have an idea...

Of who it is, don't you?

A life born on the same night, at the same hospital.

Lee Ki Chul's son...

Lee Dong Wook.

The child born as Lee Dong Wook,

She swapped as Shin Tae Hwan's son.

I, who was born as Lee Dong Chul's brother,

Had to grow up in the place of Shin Tae Hwan's son.

Then what you're saying is...

My brother, Dong Wook...

Yes.

He was Shin Tae Hwan's son.

Crazy bum.

Crazy bastard.

Crazy bas...

How much longer are you going to talk nonsense?

Huh?

How much longer are you going to talk nonsense?!

Crazy bastard.

Crazy bastard.

I had a DNA test done.

They found me not to be Shin Tae Hwan's son.

If you still don't believe me,

Shall we take a test together?

Shut up, you bastard.

Shut up!

Okay.

Even if we test and it turns out positive, I won't believe you.

I won't believe you, you bastard!

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it, you bastard!

I don't believe it.

Shin Myung Hun.

Listen carefully.

Even if this world ends tonight

you're Shin Tae Hwan's son.

And Lee Dong Wook is my brother.

You got it?

If there's anyone that rejects that as truth, I'll kill him!

Do you understand?

I'll kill them all.

Fine.

I'll check for myself.

Where is that Nurse Yoo Mi Ae?

Where is she now?!

Is she still alive?

Is she still alive, you bastard?!

Welcome.

You've come out directly.

Lee Dong Chul said he'll be a little late.

I hope you'll wait.

He's not avoiding me, is he?

Avoiding? Hardly.

Please, this way.

Don't you think there's a reason for rejecting my offer to provide the takeover capital?

Who put up the capital instead of me?

You should ask Lee Dong Chul directly.

Perhaps... Is it the famous lobbyist, Janice?

Does that woman have something against me?

So now, even after he leaves the casino,

Won't Lee Dong Chul succeed as an impressive businessman?

The Tae Baek dream.

Is this Lee Dong Chul's dream?

But, what connection does Lee Dong Chul have with Tae Baek?

That's his hometown.

Which used to be Hwangji.

Tae Baek was his hometown?

Lee Dong Chul's hometown is Tae Baek?

Lee Dong Chul's... family?

Yes, that's right.

Then...

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook...

Is Lee Dong Chul's brother?

Yes.

Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook is indeed Lee Dong Chul's brother.

It appears you know Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook.

Lee Dong Chul lived his life for his little brother.

Lived his life for his brother?

That's a long story.

Something you can't listen to without tears.

If you want to know who that person is,

Find Father Han.

Father.

Right.

You're probably upset I didn't attend Ki Sun's wedding.

Ki Sun wanted a church wedding.

I...

Is there something wrong?

Yes.

Dong Chul.

If that's true...

My brother Dong Wook...

Is Shin Tae Hwan's son?

Did Myung Hun say... tell you that?

Tell me.

If that's true...

What do we do now?

What are we supposed to do?!

How could you have just stood by and watched it happen, Father?

How could you have just stood by and watched it happen, Father?!

Dong Chul.

What do we do?

What do we do, Father?

What am I supposed to do now, Father?

I mean about the life I lived only with my brother as my purpose!

So this was the secret Nurse Yoo Mi Ae didn't tell.

Then, you also...

...didn't know, Father?

All I know...

Is who Nurse Yoo Mi Ae is.

Who is that woman? Where is she now?

Is she alive?

Yes?

Lee Dong Chul lived his entire life with just his brother in mind.

You could say he valued his brother more than his life.

Dong Chul!

Dong Chul, you can't.

Dong Chul, please.

Dong Chul, you can't!

Dong Chul, you can't! Dong Chul, you really can't!

I can't? What can't I do?!

Even if you lived a false life, you can't soil your hands!

Father...

You said that when I was young too, didn't you?

What did I say back then?

I said I can't believe you either, Father!

Dong Chul, please!

Whether I can or can't is in my hands now.

Let me go.

Dong Chul. Dong Chul!

Dong Chul, you can't. Please listen to me!

Lee Dong Chul!

You can't do this!

Dong Chul, please!

Dong Chul, Dong Chul.

Dong Chul, Lee Dong Chul!

Hyung!

Hyung!

Dong Wook!

Hyung!

You're the one I love the most in this world!

Hyung!

Welcome, Lee Dong Chul.

I went to your office, and saw the Tae Baek dream.

It was impressive.

President Rebecca.

Were you once Nurse Yoo Mi Ae?

Did you know that Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook was my brother?

Who did you meet?

Did you know that Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook was my brother?

I'm asking you now.

I didn't know.

I knew who he was, but I didn't know you were his brother.

Then when you were working in the hospital...

The claim you swapped two babies...

Is that true?

Nurse Yoo Mi Ae.

I'm asking you if you did that!!

The story is unravelling faster than I thought.

I swear nothing goes as it's meant to.

Looks like Shin Myung Hun let it all out.

That's right.

At this point, what else do I have to hide?

I regret your situation in this.

Regret?

Regret, but a relief.

If I knew that Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook...

I mean, if I knew that Shin Tae Hwan's bloodline was your brother,

I might not have been able to stand in front of you.

Because you, Dong Chul, were always a good person.

Shut up and answer the question.

The claim you swapped two babies...

Is it true?

I asked if it was true!!

Once the truth is spat out, that's the end.

I don't need to say it, do I?

No.

You say it with your own mouth.

If you're talking about what Shin Myung Hun told you...

That is true.

True?

True, you say?

Lee Dong Chul, please don't be like this.

I haven't been able to finish anything!

Until Shin Tae Hwan falls over before me,

death is not my destiny.

Destiny?

Someone who's messed with other people's destiny is concerned for her own?

What you did is something absolutely unforgivable!!

Shin Tae Hwan's bloodline.

Doesn't even know his father is his father, and is sharpening his knife.

Isn't that a marvelous thing?

Shut up.

Shut your mouth before I choke the breath out of you.

I may have swapped two lives, but at the very least,

I'm not a murderer.

You know that!

You are even more evil than Shin Tae Hwan.

Why, because of you...

Do we innocent bystanders have to pay for this?

Why?

Why?!

Why?!

Lee Dong Chul...

Why?!

Why?!

Why?!

Please.

Why?!

Please, please!

Don't do this.

Listen clearly.

From this point on...

Live with your mouth shut.

On the day you say something, somewhere...

Don't plan on living.

Lee...

Ki...

Chul...

That gentleman...

Is my father.

I, who was born as Lee Dong Chul's brother,

Had to grow up in the place of Shin Tae Hwan's son.

Wow, there are a lot of fun books that came out.

Mom, I'm choosing all of these.

Okay, pick them all.

How long?

Let's see, 30 minutes?

Mom, you pick your book, too.

Okay.

Tae Ho. If mom is late, you know where I am, right?

I know.

I'll see you there.

I'm Lee Dong Wook.

And Lee Dong Wook is Shin Tae Hwan's son.

It's been a long time.

You've been well?

Of course.

Ki Sun got married today.

I knew.

I see.

Unbelievably...

Not that it's because you knew...

Shin Tae Hwan sent some uninvited guests.

What are you saying?

They made a shambles of the wedding.

Shin Tae Hwan's thugs, I mean.

Are you saying that all bad deeds are Shin Tae Hwan's?

Ki Sun's groom used to work under Shin Tae Hwan.

Until hyung took him out.

It was probably retaliation.

Dong Wook.

How long are you going to point that knife...

At Shin Tae Hwan?

What do you mean how long?

You don't know?

I don't know how you'll take this, but...

The knife you sharpen...

Can stab you, yourself.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

You never know with life.

Who would have known I would become Shin Tae Hwan's daughter-in-law?

I hated that family as much as you.

So what?

Now, it's only that family.

You stand by your husband as the successor.

And your only thought is to make that enterprise yours, isn't it?

You do that well.

So, of course your knife...

Can only be sharp.

With the knife I hold, do you want me to get stabbed?

I just want us to live satisfied with where things stand now.

No matter what anyone says, you grew up in fertile land.

Fertile land?

A remarkable father.

And a brother who threw away his life to focus solely on raising you.

The horrifyingly strong love of a doting mother...

Who found the likes of me,

Not worthy to associate with even the heels of your feet.

You still...

Resent my mother?

What do you mean still?

How many stakes that woman hammered in my heart!

Those stakes...

Do you know they were hammered in my heart too?

So?

So what happened to the stakes?

Are they still in your heart?

That goes without saying.

Shin Tae Hwan and Shin Myung Hun...

I can't let go of my vendetta against those two, but...

In my heart...

I have embedded deep in my heart those irremovable stakes.

Don't dream any foolish dreams, Dong Wook.

Now it will be me that blocks you.

Hye Rin.

You're late.

I had to drop by somewhere.

But what's with the daytime drinking?

Mmm. It's to hide what's sticking out of my face.

There's something that the frank Min Hye Rin wants to hide?

I have something to confess.

Confess? To me?

Everytime I feel I might let my feelings spill out,

There's some obstacle.

That's right.

When you wanted to let your feelings spill out,

There was an obstacle...

Hansae Ilbo.

Yeah. That's right.

So...

You're facing another obstacle this time?

Mmm.

Who is the obstacle?

Lee Dong Wook.

Lee Dong Wook, me?

If it's me that's the obstacle,

I'll move aside, a hundred times over.

Just buy the drinks.

I feel like getting really drunk today.

We got the call from Iran.

And are planning to assemble a secret team immediately.

I assume you know this is not something we can share yet with the family?

Yes, I know.

What about the lawyer?

We got some quick information

but there was indeed some agreement between your son and Chairman Oh.

Is that what the lawyer said?

Yes.

Matters beyond that,

He said he didn't need to know.

So the old man plans to toss out the one man who built Tae Sung Group into what it is now.

I really need to throw that crazy old geezer in the looney bin.

Chairman.

You should proceed carefully.

I'm going to drop by my mother's.

Look at you.

Serving up the big bow before anything's been fully accomplished.

Mother.

Even though I run into stubborn battles everywhere,

There doesn't seem to be a way to kill off this Shin Tae Hwan.

If we can just get construction contracts of this magnitude,

our Tae Sung Construction can become world renowned.

How big is it?

It's a 2 billion dollar large scale construction project.

Really?

And you're selling apartments like hotcakes

when the stagnant construction market couldn't even sell the lots.

It appears that the wind is really blowing in Shin Tae Hwan's favor.

Yes, that's true.

I threw away the electronics, and then I got something bigger instead.

Get your act perfectly together and win that construction project.

Yes.

And before anything, go thank Janice.

It wasn't your influence, but Janice?

Who else has connections with such a high-ranking overseas administration, you white-headed moron?

After all...

The only person who's there to help you out at the end of the day is Janice.

So, when you go to the bookstore each Friday...

Are you waiting for Lee Dong Wook?

What are you saying?

I know about it.

Tae Ho said something about it.

He said he met an ahjussi at the bookstore who knew his name.

It was coincidence.

Like today, you mean?

What were you talking about so earnestly with Lee Dong Wook?

On the day your father returns from a business trip...

You don't go to the airport, but spy on me instead?

Why don't you answer my question.

Right.

I told Lee Dong Wook that the knife he sharpens against our family...

Could stab him instead, so to be careful.

Why didn't you just tell him the truth.

That Lee Dong Wook is the Tae Sung successor.

And not to forget his first love.

Myung Hun.

Isn't Lee Dong Wook the real Shin Myung Hun?

If you want Tae Ho to be the successor, who knows?

Maybe Lee Dong Wook, who loves you so much...

Myung Hun! Are you crazy?

What's going on?

I thought you were going to have dinner out.

Is Tae Ho sick...?

Myung Hun, your face...

It's nothing, Mother.

What happened?

Did you fight?

Mother.

What is it?

Mother.

Did Myung Hun make some kind of mistake?

No, he's not the kind to make mistakes.

Except...

For loving me too much.

Isn't... it time to forget that time?

Now, it's time for Tae Ho to have a sibling.

And live without worry.

Mother.

Living without worry...

Do you know how hard that is?

Don't you think I know?

Myung Hun.

As we go on living our lives, we find life is short.

I wish very much that you two could live without suffering.

Myung Hun.

I think we'll find it hard to live happily like this.

Am I right?

To say it coldly,

You, me, and Tae Ho...

All three of us...

Are phonies in this house.

Isn't that so?

No.

It's not so.

If Lee Dong Wook was in here in my place...

It's possible you and Tae Ho would not be phonies.

Myung Hun!

If instead of me, Lee Dong Wook were standing here,

Tae Ho may not be a phony successor.

Because it doesn't seem Prosecutor Lee Dong Wook has been able to forget you.

Fine.

Then go tell your mother the truth immediately.

"I'm not Shin Tae Hwan's son."

"I'm the son of Lee Ki Chul, the man buried by Shin Tae Hwan."

"Your real son is the prosecutor out to get your husband, Lee Dong Wook!"

That's right.

If we cover up the truth here and now,

We could become worse people than Rebecca.

But you, you want me to ask you to live like that, don't you?

That's right. I'm Lee Ki Chul's son.

As Lee Ki Chul's son...

I'm trusting myself, and for the sake of mother and grandfather,

I'm merely fulfilling what they ask of me for the time being.

And what about me and Tae Ho?

You will...

Be able to choose what you always wanted, and get it.

You!

I know!

You are always thinking of Tae Ho.

And...

And what?!

Right. I see you clean up the situation nicely.

Hearing that... reminds me of your mother.

That's right, your mother, Yang Chun Hee.

That woman was really good at cleaning up situations,

While embedding my heart with nails!

It was me that embedded the nails in your heart, and clinched your fate!

It wasn't Yang Chun Hee.

That's right.

That's why resentfully, I...

I bore your bloodline! Me!

The heavens are indifferent, aren't they. They are indifferent.

You... listen carefully.

Tae Ho is my son.

He's my son, so don't ever use the bloodline card.

You got it?!

Tae Ho is my son.

Father.

What did you ask the lawyer to prepare in case of your death?

Whatever request I made, it's nothing you need to know.

Myung Hun is my son, so why would it be a problem to me if you set him up as successor.

However, what I want to know is...

Even after you pass away, do you still need to be on guard

against this Shin Tae Hwan, who brought Tae Sung to where it is now?

So if things don't go your way, it looks as though you'd be willing to kill me.

Why would I think of such a horrible thing.

You must live out a full life before passing away.

Now, where should I escort you to?

I will make it

so you can witness Tae Sung's monumental achievement as you live out your graying years.

Shin Tae Hwan!

Why don't I send you to a hospital...

Where you can live your life out most comfortably?

Shin Tae Hwan!

There's a man who killed Mike's older brother, Grace.

Killed Mike's brother?

From what I understand,

It was an assassin sent from your side in Korea.

How can that be?

If it's someone from our side, who is it that you suspect?

I hope it's not so, either.

Because death...

Should stop with Mike.

Chairman.

We've gotten word that they are leaving Incheon, and meeting tonight.

Who?

There's movement from the smuggling organization out of Incheon wharf.

Have you still not heard from Dong Chul?

No, we haven't.

Not just Lee Dong Chul. We haven't seen his boys either.

Is that so?

So you haven't seen Dong Chul's boys either, huh?

Chairman.

As a precaution, I think you should take refuge.

Refuge? What refuge.

Let 'em come. Huh?

Damn. Let 'em come.

It's all right.

Lee Dong Chul.

When your father's gone, you need to watch over your little brother.

Like who?

Like a father.

Father.

Father.

Father, what do I do now?

Father!

Dong Chul.

What's the matter?

Why are you like that?

Aigoo. Aigoo.

Aigoo, Hyungnim!

Come out, come on out, please!

Dong Chul.

What's the matter?

Huh? What's the matter?

Why are you like that?

Aigoo, Hyungnim.

I think he's had a little to drink.

What in the world is the matter?

Huh? What's the matter?

It's bedtime for the day-to-day working people.

What is the matter that you create such commotion during this time?

What is it?

Did the honeymooners get attacked by thugs?

No.

No, Mother.

Then what's wrong?

Mother!

Do you have something to tell me?

Yes.

Whatever it is...

Go on and tell me.

I...

Lived a pointless life.

Lee Dong Chul's life...

Was a total sham of a life.

What do you mean a sham of a life?

What are you talking about?

Never mind.

Never mind, Mother.

If your life was pointless,

Then all our lives have been pointless.

Please tell me what's wrong.

What's going on?

There's something bothering your brother.

What?

Do you know what happened?

No.

Hyung.

What's the matter?

Dong Wook.

What's the matter, Hyung?

Nothing.

What is it?

What happened, Hyung?!

Dong Wook.

Hyung.

You know I love you more than anything, right?

Huh?

Then it's fine.

It's fine.

Father!

Everyone. Everyone.

Osaka Beautician's Association Tour Group...

Let me guide you through the famous International Casino.

Our visit will be one hour.

I will see everyone back here in one hour.

Casino games should be only played once or twice for fun.

Who are you guys?

What are you?

You should be able to figure it out.

Was it you or Lee Dong Chul that sent the assasin to Macau?

Why don't you open the coffin and ask the dead guy that?

And, why do you bring up Dong Chul?

So you stand Mike in Macau.

And dream of your daughter becoming Crown Princess?

And as if that dream wasn't enough, Guk Dae Hwa,

You send an assassin to stick a knife in our boss?

Crumble him!

What the hell, you crazy bastards?

Crumble him?! What the hell am I, a cookie?!

You damned bastard!

Hey!

Go ahead and stab me!

Grace!

Grace!

Do you know what this means?

Where is grandfather?

I think I should go.

Seung Woo Ga, you punk.

It's me.

Who is that, Mother?

His son.

It's been a long time, Miss Grace.

Send the signal.

We'll be arriving shortly.

You send for the police before you even get hit?

Hyung!

Grace!

Hyung!
