Shining Inheritance (2009): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

Look at the old fox.

She got rich thanks to her second husband.
What did her ex-husband do?

She never speaks about him.
That's why she's called the old fox.

I came here just to browse today,
but there are so many beautiful things.

Ms. Baek, you are acting strange today.

I know you like this.
Why aren't you taking it?

I never said I liked it.

You're also suffering
from the recession, right?

Otherwise, you would grab it right away.

Then I'll take this--

You must love her so much
to bring me all the way here, right?



For eight months, I've sent her
love e-mails every other day,

so you should back me up.

I lent you my car and drove you.
What more can I do?

Okay, thanks.

Seoul?

Eun-sung!

Hyeong-jin!

Did you really come to pick me up?

I told you I would empty my schedule
when you come.

Jun-se.

I'm Park Jun-se.

I told you about him in the e-mail.
He is living off my house.

Hello, I'm Ko Eun-sung.

What are you doing? Take the bags.



-Give them to me.
-You don't have to.

-Let's go.
-Thank you.

Kiddo, what are you looking at
instead of looking for me?

Hwan!

Cool car! I bet it's fast!

You sound like a boy.

-I love driving.
-Really?

You can drive, then.

-Me?
-Yes.

-Jun-se, give her the key.
-Really?

Great!

-Jun-se.
-Let's go.

Sir, how can you do this to me?

You promised me clearly.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ko.

Sir, if you do this,
my company will go bankrupt.

We concluded that your company
would not be able to revive.

Please help me out just this time.

Why are you doing this, Mr. Ko?
Don't do this, please.

-Sir, please.
-Go ahead and answer the phone.

-This is Ko Pyeong-jung.
-Dad!

What happened to your voice?

Eun-sung, is that you?

What about my voice?

Did you shout and ate dust
at the construction site again?

Yes, I ate up the dust at the site.

I'll wire the money.

-Hi, honey.
-Eun-sung has arrived.

Oh, has our Eun-sung arrived?

All right. Please hang up.
I was in the middle of cooking.

Let's get going, shall we?

-Are you going back in a week?
-Yes.

Why did your dad summon you
during the school year?

It's probably because of my brother.

I heard black people are scary.
Don't fight against them.

They provoked me first.

My brother Eun-u is a piano prodigy.

Have you heard of savant syndrome?

Savant syndrome?

Just because I had a fight,
Grandma made me sit in the economy class.

My knees hurt like hell.

Only few autistic children
are gifted with such talents.

Oh my gosh!

Was it from that car?

What kind of a jerk is that?

Hey!

Stop the car!

What is it?

You threw the cup, didn't you?

What's wrong with that chick?

-Hwan, let's just go.
-Okay.

I'll let you drive in the fast lane.

What a jerk!

Eun-sung!

He almost caused an accident
but is running away.

You can't let that jerk get away.

Hey, stop the car!

Do you want to play a game with me?

Hwan, just let them go
before we get into an accident.

Do you really think that'll happen
when you're sitting there?

I'm sorry, Hyeong-jin.
That must have been quite a shock.

-Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm okay.

That must have been quite a shock
to you too. Can you drive?

I'm okay. I can manage.

What a bastard!
I should have crashed into him.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit hot-tempered.

Take it to the room.

Let's go.

You're putting me in an awkward situation.

Your grandma and mom know
that I went to pick you up with your car.

Just pretend to cry and say,

"I lost him.
I tried to stop him, but he ran away."

Are you sure about not going home?

Are you not even calling them?

I am taking the initiative.

You caused trouble.
Aren't you scared of your grandma?

Chairman Jang Suk-ja melts
like an ice cream in front of me.

JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY

JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG

Ms. Jang, good morning.

Hey, how is Gaettong's chickenpox?

It didn't leave a scar because you gave me
a day off to take care of her.

Make sure she thanks me, Jang Suk-ja,
if she is crowned Miss Korea one day.

-If you are alive until then.
-Why you little...

Why don't you just pray that I die sooner?

Ms. Jang, I have a blind date tomorrow.

-A blind date?
-Yes.

You are just wasting your money, boy.

Why do you destroy my hope
even before I meet the person?

I told you to lose weight first.

Who would want to kiss you
when your stomach is out like that?

What's going on here?

-Thank you, Hyeong-jin.
-See you.

Hey, Jun-se. Awesome, right?

Not awesome but okay.
She seems pure and innocent.

I'm not talking about Eun-sung.

I'm talking about the house.

What?

Her dad is
the CEO of Sungwoo Construction.

And her only brother is autistic.

Moreover, she changed her major
to be a food consultant.

What are you talking about?

In short, there is no one
to inherit Sungwoo Construction,

her father's company.

-Dad!
-Oh, my little girl.

Daddy!

Let go of me before you break my ribs.

You should say good-bye to this world
if you can't even hug your daughter.

You are the mighty Ko Pyeong-jung.

-Dad.
-Yes.

Why are you so skinny?

Well, I have been on a diet
to live until my senility.

-How do I look?
-Are you really on a diet?

You look much better.

Finally, you can match up to Mother.

-Mother, I'm home.
-Welcome back.

You must be exhausted
from the long flight.

Wasn't it hard to take care of Eun-u?

Seung-mi.

-It's been a long time.
-Yes, it's been a while.

I heard you are in a graduate school.
How is it?

Same old, same old.

How silly am I? There was no need to ask.

You are always a good student.

Why don't you sit down? Take a seat.

Seung-mi, come and help me.

Dad.

Why are you home so early?
Didn't you go to Hwan's house?

He went out to meet his friends.

So, you just came home?

Why are you acting so stupid?

You should have followed Hwan or had lunch
with his grandma and Yeong-ran.

He won't go home for days
to avoid his grandma.

On the day he was forced to return,
he chose not to go home.

How can I go to his house alone?

-Why not?
-I'm not his fiancée nor wife.

Idiot. You will be one.

-I will make many things you like.
-You should call them quickly.

Tell them you couldn't stop Hwan
since you're not strong enough.

-Give it a rest.
-Give what a rest?

You know I don't have your nerve, Mom.

Forget it.

Is that you, Yeong-ran?

What should we do?

Okay, I got it, Seong-hui.
Thanks for calling.

Oh boy. Hwan is such a pain in the neck.

Mr. Pyo, don't make sashimi.
Hwan is not coming.

Mr. Park likes croaker sashimi, too.

-Is Mr. Park coming?
-Yes, he is.

Did my mother-in-law call you?
Why didn't you tell me?

I'm the lady of this house.
Why are you ignoring me, Mr. Pyo?

I've never ignored you, Ms. Oh.

You're doing it now.
You are ignoring me by denying it.

You went out to do your hair and makeup
at 7 a.m. and as soon as you got back,

you received a call from your friend.

That was five minutes ago.

If you have nothing more to say,
I'll continue making croaker sashimi.

Okay, you're the boss.
You are always right.

Why are you seething
like an octopus in boiling water?

Oh, you scared me.

Mother, I asked you to ring the doorbell
when you bring a guest.

It hardly consumes the battery.

You're the one who is making a scene here.

Is Mr. Park a guest to you?

Exactly.

I am sad you considered me
as a guest, Yeong-ran.

No, that was not what I meant.

-Mr. Pyo.
-Hi, Jeong. Long time no see.

Where is Jun-se?
Why didn't you bring him with you?

Is Hwan so important to Jun-se
that he has to leave his work behind?

Grandma.

You would be standing up
until Hwan gets home.

-Have a seat, Mr. Park.
-Yes.

Mother, we have a situation.

Hwan is too afraid of you to come home.

He is playing a shallow trick.
He is never afraid of me.

I guess he knows
that he made a big trouble.

Call him and tell him
to come home quickly.

It's not that, Mother.
He is staying out tonight.

What?

Seung-mi did her best to drag him home,
but he ran away to stay out.

-He is not coming home?
-His phone is switched off, Grandma.

That little punk.

Is he trying to outsmart me now?

It's so delicious, Mother.

I didn't prepare any western food
on purpose.

Though there are Korean restaurants
in every corner of the world,

-they can't compare to this, can they?
-You're right.

Moreover, having a meal
with my family is really...

This is why there is no place
like home and family.

By the way, Dad.

The school Eun-u will attend
has a good dorm and teachers.

Eun-sung, we think Eun-u should be--

Let's eat first.

We're having a meal together
after such a long time. Let's enjoy it.

Let's talk about it later.

I have to go out again after lunch.

I have more things to tell you
besides Eun-u's school.

I'm really busy today and tomorrow.

Tell me later.

Eat it.

I need to go now.

Why didn't you tell Eun-sung
that she has to give up studying abroad?

-She just got here today.
-Is it too hard to say?

Is it hard to tell her to come back
due to the financial difficulties?

Then I will tell her.
She will find out anyway.

Well, honey...

Do you really not have a stash of money?

Is it that hard for you to make Eun-sung
give up her school?

You said your company is in difficulties.

Do you really want to spend my money
on Eun-sung and Eun-u to study abroad?

Cost of Eun-u's music lessons
and therapy sessions...

Since you gave me good living expenses,
are you asking if I hid some money?

-It's not because of the kids.
-Then what?

The company?

Is your company that bad?

Why aren't you saying anything?

You said you would take care of it,
and I didn't need to worry.

Then why are you digging
into my pocket now?

The bank suddenly turned its back on me.

Turned its back on you?

What do you mean?

Are you saying
the company will go bankrupt?

The business is slack--

Are you saying that
it's going to go bankrupt?

No, I don't think so.

You don't think so?

I asked president Kang
in Incheon for help,

and I'll meet the bank manager again.

-Bankruptcy?
-No, not yet.

Maybe, president Kang will help me out.

You know,

I saved him twice from going bankrupt.

He will help me.

-What if he won't?
-He will.

What if Kang Man-ho won't help you?

Do you have other solutions?

Get a hold of yourself,

and stop the bankruptcy by all means.

Whether you threaten Kang Man-ho,
beg or hang yourself in front of him,

save your company from going bankrupt.

What am I going to do
if you collapse like this?

What do we do with Eun-u, the money eater?

-I know--
-That's not enough.

You have to stop it.

-Honey...
-Sell your heart if that can save us!

I didn't lock my bag.

"Sunwoo Hwan"?

Gosh, the bags got switched.

Oh, no.

Dad's shoes and Eun-u's school information
are in that bag.

The number you have dialed is unavailable.
Please leave a message

-after the tone...
-Is this person not home yet?

Oh, what are you doing today?

I'm going to meet my friends
in the evening.

-Oh, really?
-Yeah.

Thank you.

Dad, let's go out together.
I'm going to go pick up Eun-u.

Let's go.

Do you want a ride
to where Eun-u gets off?

No, it's right over there.
You're busy man, so off you go, Dad.

Then have a good time with your friends.

I'll be late tonight,
so don't wait for me.

Okay, but you have to come early tomorrow.

I will make you a gorgeous dinner.

A gorgeous dinner?

Dad, it's your birthday tomorrow.

Oh, is it?

Okay, see you later.

You said you'll be late tonight.
I will see you tomorrow.

That's right. See you tomorrow.

Dad!

I love you, Dad. And...

I really, really love you.

So do I.

I love you, my little girl.

Goodbye.

He doesn't stray away from the path.

PIANO AND MUSIC ACADEMY

Eun-u, it's me, your sister.

Are you surprised?

Eun-sung.

Mine is here.

Eun-u, how have you been?

Eun-u, why are you going there?

Our house is that way.

After school, I drop by here,
and then go home.

Don't you learn piano
from a college professor?

I do it here.

Eun-u wrote that song.
The title is "Longing for my sister".

"Longing for my sister"?

Since when has Eun-u received lessons
from you?

It's been over two years.

Two years?

A REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE

Do you really not have a stash of money?

Mr. Oh, this is Baek Seong-hui.

Tell me frankly without lying.

How bad is the company's situation now?

The financial situation.

Didn't I know about what?

What?

It is already
in the first-phase bankruptcy?

Eun-u, turn on the CD player.

The CD.

The CD.

The title, "Longing for my sister".

Played by Ko Eun-u.

Mom, isn't it lovely?

Eun-u wrote this song. The title is...

Hey, Ko Eun-u. What is the title?

"Longing for my sister".

Mom,

now Eun-u knows what longing means.

Eun-u, what does "longing" mean?

Longing, wanting to see. Miss you.

Did you hear that?

Don't worry, Mom.

I'll keep the promise I made to you.

Even after Dad is gone,

I'll live long enough
to take care of Eun-u.

I'll make sure
he plays the piano and be happy.

In front of you back then, Mom....

Dad and I made a promise.

I'll keep it
even if I have a knife at my throat.

You don't have to worry, Mom. Okay?

Let's go for it!

Go for it.

You have to save me at least once.

I took care of your bankruptcy twice.

I know, friend.
That's why I'm trying my best.

Trying is not enough.

If you don't help me, I am dead.

Money is not what I can control.

Yesterday, I was rejected by the bank
with a credit for more than 30 years.

I thought of killing myself.

Hey, Ko Pyeong-jung.

I was thinking about the death benefit.

My wife and children depend on me.

They can live decently with that money.

But insurance doesn't cover suicide.

Instead of killing yourself,
figure out a way to come back.

I'm 55 years old now.
If I fall down this time,

I won't be able to come back.

You are my last hope, Man-ho.

Okay, I will call you tonight.
Go home and wait.

No, I will wait around here.

I'm begging you.

The sauce made with black sesame
and soymilk gives a nutty flavor,

but the taste of bean slightly remains
on the tip of my tongue.

Most people won't notice,
but sensitive people will.

If you add cheonggukjang powder,
you can balance the taste.

Cheonggukjang powder?

Eun-sung knows everything about cooking.

That's why she changed her major
without telling her father.

Hey!

You should tell him as soon as possible.

I'll tell him tomorrow.
Tomorrow is his birthday.

Is tomorrow your dad's birthday?

Then I should go and say hi. And--

I'm going to tell him over dishes
I learned for last two years.

What are you going to tell him?

I'm confident to look after Eun-u
without inheriting his company.

Since my life is
as important as my brother's life,

I want to succeed by doing what I love.

It is no fun to take others' credit.

My dad is not "others",
but his accomplishment is not mine.

Then who will inherit your dad's company?

By the way, you passed the bar exam.

Did your parents let you
open this restaurant?

Of course,
that's why he is running this restaurant.

No, no, it's not his.
This restaurant is mine.

I opened it for him
to do whatever he wants.

Hyeong-jin, are you that rich?

I had no idea.

The real man opens up his heart
only to his girl.

Ko Eun-sung, you owe me.
I'm the matchmaker between you two.

Hey, that's not it.

He e-mailed me to cheer me up
while I was studying abroad.

What do we do with Eun-u, the money eater?

Sell your heart, if that can save us!

What are you doing in the dark?

Mother, did someone call me?

The one who took my bag.

Nobody called you.

What a strange person!

By the way, Mother,

wasn't Eun-u supposed to receive
piano lessons from a professor?

Go to your room.

Man-ho.

Thank you, Mr. Kang.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

This is all I can get. I'm sorry.

What are you doing?
Why aren't you picking up?

Who are you to make me
freak out like this?

You should at least tell me
whether my life is finished or not!

Ko Pyeong-jung,
so is this how it's going to be?

Welcome back, Hwan. Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Should I go and get Hwan?

Leave him alone.

Your credit card is suspended.

What? it's suspended?

Would you like to pay
with another card, Sir?

That's absurd. His card is only for VIPs.

Grandma is playing hardball.

Hey, what should we do?

-How much is it?
-It's 3.9 million won, sir.

You take dollars, right?

Based on today's exchange rate,
you are short of 500,000 won.

You guys go first.

Hwan, how can we leave...

Hey, don't you know who he is?

If he tells us to leave, we leave.
Hurry up.

Look, Mister.

15 MISSED CALLS

INCOMING CALL

Who is it?

Hello? Is this Sunwoo Hwan's phone?

-Who are you?
-I'm the one

whose bag is switched with yours.

-What is switched?
-The bag.

Your bag and my bag were switched
at the airport.

-What's switched with what?
-The bags!

What's wrong with this guy?

You came from New York today, right?

So what?

Where are you? I'll bring your bag to you.

Where are you?

-Are you the girl on the phone?
-Yes.

There. He is in the room.

He is not an old guy.

Excuse me.

Hey, look at me!

-Give me my bag, please.
-Your bag?

This is your bag, right?

I don't know whose fault it is,
but give me my bag, please.

Because of your bag, I was...

Didn't you know your bag got switched?

-Pay the bill, first.
-What?

If you want to get your bag,
pay for the bill, first.

Just give me 500,000 won.

What? 500,000 won?

Why are you asking me to pay 500,000 won?

Your friend is short of 500,000 won.

I'm not his friend at all.

It's just my bag got switched
at the airport...

Hey, tell them I'm not your friend.

-Your bag isn't here.
-No?

If you want to get it back,
pay for my bill.

Why on earth should I pay for your booze?

She will pay.

Where is my bag?

No, where is your house?

Drive.

What?

This is crazy. I paid for the booze
and now I'm driving...

I'm being generous
because tomorrow is dad's birthday.

Where should I go?

Hey, where do I go? Where do you live?

Turn right.

Tell me the name of the area you live.

Turn left at the next intersection.

Hey, isn't this...

Hey!

What are you doing?

-You said you want your bag.
-That's true, but you're at a hotel.

Do you stay here? No home in Seoul?
Are you Korean from overseas?

You are noisy like a woodpecker.

What are you doing?

Some of the dead were identified...

Excuse me.

What happened to you?

Where is the police station near here?

Go straight, you will meet
an intersection and around the corner...

Ko Pyeong-jung?

...Kang Tae-soo, 28, Incheon.

The police is investigating
the cause of the accident

based on the witnesses' reports

that they smelled strong gas.

JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY

What's wrong with them?

Declining sales doesn't mean
a deficit operation, does it?

Are they worried about their dividends?

JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY

We're not under the deficit operation,
but the downturn in sales...

No matter what,
they are our main stockholders.

The time has changed
since we founded the company, Ms. Jang.

Why don't you change the business mindset
in tunes with the times?

You mean we should open the franchises
as many as they want?

Or you can modify the employment policy.

Don't you think the welfare cost
for the employees is excessive?

That is also how you feel.

-Hello.
-I'm the owner of the bag you have.

Okay, Eun-sung. See you later.

Where is your car key? Let me drive it.

-No.
-No?

We made a deal to switch the cars
for a week.

I clearly warned you last night.
If you use me again, you will be dead.

Eun-sung will go back to New York
with her brother in six days.

Can't you just help me for six days?

Dude. I agreed to help you
because I thought you loved Eun-sung.

If I knew that you loved her background,
I wouldn't have helped nor lent my car.

Her background is also a part of her.

Don't toy with other people's heart.
She seemed like a good girl.

Jun-se, see you later!

Hey!

Hello?

I'm the owner of the bag. I just got here.

So what?

You said you would meet me at 11
at the hotel lobby, right?

I clearly told you to meet
at eleven o'clock sharp.

Only five minutes has passed.

And another minute passed just now.

What do you mean by that?

Eun-sung, what's the problem?

Since you didn't show up in time,
I left for another appointment.

Another appointment?

I'll be there after the meeting.
You can wait at the lobby if you want.

How important was the meeting

that he couldn't even wait
for five minutes?

Son, what on earth are you going to do?

Grandma forced you to come home
for the first time.

So what?

Making her angry won't do any good.

-Just give me the card.
-That's right.

So when are you going to come back?

-How many days will it work?
-Two days.

In two days, Grandma will weep and say,
"Hwan, my little pumpkin, come back."

Until your grandma throws a towel,
where and what are you going to do?

Don't tell her you met me today.

Yes, sir. What can I do for you?

Yes?

-Refill his coffee, please.
-Okay.

Hello.

-Hello, Jun-se.
-Hi, Jun-se.

Hi, Jeong.

I'm sorry, Hwan.

My employees don't know
how to read customers' mind yet.

Did you forget Korean
after living in New York for few years?

Did your coffee get cold?
You could have asked to get you a hot one.

Don't you know the word, "please?"

It's commonly used in America.

You are so smart. Back then and even now.

And you will always be, right?

Thanks for saying I'm smart.

Would you like to try our new menu?

-A new menu?
-What is it, Jun-se?

-Yes.
-I'm the one with the switched bag.

When are you coming?

Go where?

The meeting with a buyer is running late,
so you should come here.

Can I get my bag right away there?

Around 2:30 a.m.,
there was an LPG explosion

in a building in Incheon.

before the explosion.

LIST OF CASUALTIES
KO PYEONG-JUNG

Hello?

KO PYEONG-JUNG
MALE, 55

I'm sorry.

Are you saying that man is my husband?

I know it's hard
but you need to identify him.

KO PYEONG-JUNG
MALE, 55

Happy Birthday, Dad.
Please live a long and happy life.

I really, really love you!

So do I.

I love you, my little girl.

I'm sorry, Dad,

but please trust your little girl.

I LOVE YOU

I will cook three dishes Dad likes,

three dishes I developed,
and seaweed soup.

My recipe book!

It's in my bag.

What is talking him so long?

Are you really dead?

How can you leave like this?

How can you die like this?

Baek Seong-hui's life...

It really sucks.

Give me a cigarette.

Yes?

Here.

I told you to stop the bankruptcy,
but you are dead?

What would Seung-mi and I do
if you are dead?

A life insurance?

I have to buy one to help my friend
who is an insurance planner.

Are you afraid that I might die suddenly?

Hey! Why aren't you answering my call?

Do you know how long
I've been waiting for you?

That bag is a gift from my mother,

and my dad's present is in there.

It's his birthday today!

I have to tell something to my dad today,

so I really need my bag.

Give me back my bag, will you?

Hey! if you don't return it by tonight,
you'll be in trouble, you psycho!

This woodpecker.

-What's wrong?
-Wait a minute.

-Hello?
-Hey, minion.

Tell your woodpecker
to come to the hotel by 5 p.m.

I'll give her the bag and the money.
Five o'clock sharp, in front of the hotel.

Yes, Mom.

Seung-mi, where are you?

I watched a movie with Hwan.

Are you with Hwan?

Then tell him nothing
and come to the hospital.

The hospital? Are you ill, Mom?

I told you to say nothing.
Why do you say "hospital?"

Don't say anything to Hwan, okay?

Okay, I got it.

Isn't there a housekeeper
at the CEO's house?

How come nobody is answering the phone?

Mother, it's me.

DAD, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I'M SORRY AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Dad.

What happened to Dad, Mother?

How can he pass away?

How?

Why did he have to be in that building?

Did dad really pass away?

Do you think I want to believe it?

No. This can't be true.

Where is Dad? I need to see him.

It's meaningless going there.

We cleansed his body already.

What?

-Since I couldn't reach you--
-No, Mother!

How could you do that?

Eun-u and I didn't see him.
How could you do that?

I couldn't bear

how horrible your dad looked. That's why.

The image keeps coming into my mind.

I don't think your dad would want
to lie down with that face.

What are you talking about?

Dad's face is...
What's wrong with Dad's face?

The ceiling collapsed on him.

His face was unrecognizable.

I'm glad I saw him first.

Then it might not be Dad, Mother.

-It was your dad.
-No.

-I won't believe it until I see him.
-I saw him, Eun-sung.

-It was really your dad.
-No, I don't believe you.

I won't believe it
until I see him myself, Mother.

I said I saw him.

It might not be my dad!

Do you think what I saw was wrong,
but what you will see is right?
