Shining Inheritance (2009): Season 1, Episode 21 - Episode #1.21 - full transcript

Ko Eun-sung!

Hey, Ko Eun-sung!

Ko Eun-sung!

Ko Eun-sung!

Gosh! You're being too loud--

Oh, my!

Who told you to come into my room?

You came into mine first.

You came in without my permission...

-but you wouldn't accept this!
-What are you doing?

Gosh.



Hey!

What are you doing here? Wake up!

You can't sleep here. Wake up!

Gosh!

Don't tell me you're really asleep.

Wake up!

How can you fall asleep here?

I don't believe this.

JUN-SE

After we close the restaurant,
we're leaving right away.

GRANDMA

SEUNG-MI

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Please leave a message...



Hwan?

Why aren't you coming home
if you aren't with Hwan?

Did you forget that we moved today?

I'm almost there. I'm going in.

What's going on with him?

There are no customers today.

Hello?

What made you call at this hour, Seung-mi?

Hwan?

He isn't here. He didn't come.

My sister.

That's weird. He wouldn't stand you up
without saying anything.

My sister didn't buy me the burger.
Bulgogi burger.

He didn't come home yet.

His phone is off too.

Burger!

Burger and cola!

Are you with someone?

It's my cousin. Hey, Yeong-jae!

Keep it down.

I'm sorry I called you so late.

Come to my bar with Hwan sometime.
All right.

She needs her wallet.

"I'll get my wallet."

Burger!

What is he talking about?

Do you have a sister?

It's messy, isn't it?

It doesn't feel like we moved
because we have the same furnishing.

HWAN: I WILL CALL YOU AFTER WORK

PROPOSAL FOR CAFETERIA'S FOOD SUPPLY
CHANGSU SEOLLEONGTANG

JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG

NO MESSAGES

Who is it?

-Jeong, it's Seung-mi.
-Seung-mi?

Hey, it's only six o'clock in the morning.

I'm sorry,

but I was worried about Hwan.

Seung-mi,
I don't think he came home last night.

He didn't come home?

I must be out of my mind.

Lock the door before you leave.

I guess she won't kill me at least.

So, is this where Grandma lived back then?

Give me my keys.

Your car keys. Give them back to Grandma.

-Yesterday--
-Don't say a word.

If I were a little bit stronger,

I would've dragged you out
and let you sleep in the yard.

-Really?
-If you ever do that again,

I'll call the cops.

If so, why did you bother
to make the hangover soup?

Why did you put the blanket over me?
Why did you leave the toothbrush?

-That's because--
-What?

Because you're Grandma's grandson.

I'll let this one go
because you're her grandson.

I was upset because you refused something
that's not even a big deal.

Why did you get me drunk anyway?

Why are you here?

I came to hand in my resignation.

What's going on?

Is Eun-sung still working here?

These are the promissory notes
I kept after paying the debt.

PROMISSORY NOTE

Come on.
You didn't have to show these to me.

I wanted to make everything clear.

You know how sly Eun-sung is.

Putting you aside,

Hwan's grandmother even got help from her.

She must have trusted Eung-sung enough
to hand over her entire fortune.

Does that matter now?

If Eun-sung knew about Mother and Hwan,
that's the end of the story.

What did your mother-in-law say?

She is so shocked and embarrassed

since that day,

she hasn't spoken a word
about Eun-sung, you, or your daughter.

Not even a word?

She doesn't even let us mention her.

Once the second location
reaches the sales goal,

I think she will kick her out.

What are you talking about?

Is she letting Eun-sung work
at the restaurant?

As a punishment for daring to deceive her,

Mother is still making her
increase the sales.

I guess that girl was good at her job.

No matter how important the sales are...

Then, is she canceling the will?

I bet she will. She never forgives
a person who deceived her.

-By the way, Seong-hui...
-Yes?

Didn't you tell your second husband,

Eun-sung's father,

that you have some money?

What are you talking about?

I told you
the accident took him away so suddenly.

If he told me before,
I would have done something.

I think he didn't want to touch the money
Seung-mi's father left.

He sounds like a decent man.

He knew how to maintain his pride.

Anyway, like I said before,
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you.

How did his daughter
come to be so manipulative?

She used to live in comfort.

After the big incident,
I guess she became money-crazy.

I should have tried harder to stop her
when she walked out of the house.

How could she walk out of the house like
that when her brother is in that state?

How reckless.

I guess she wanted to keep her pride.

She went to the States shortly after
I married her father, so we weren't close.

So, she doesn't talk
about Eun-sung and Seung-mi at all?

That's not possible.

That old woman is sly as an old fox.

What is her scheme this time?

Good job.

What do you think?

I was already sold when I heard your idea.

I came to charge my phone.

The bid for Donghae is in a few days,
so tell Ms. Jang about it right away.

Yes. I'll go and tell her.

Didn't we already give her
the proposal for Donghae Cruise?

Ms. Ko had an additional idea,
so we're asking for Ms. Jang's approval.

What else is there to add for supplying
seolleongtang other than the price?

You can ask Ms. Ko yourself
when she comes back.

Ask how? She won't even look at me.

PROPOSAL FOR FOOD SUPPLY
FOR DONGHAE CRUISE

JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY

PROPOSAL BY KO EUN-SUNG, SUNWOO HWAN

Yes, Seung-mi.

Sir, what is this?

That is the bid package
our second branch team is working on.

If it's a bid, do we have to visit
Donghae Cruise ourselves?

Of course. For bidding,
you have to hand in the package in person.

Who will go for this proposal then?

The two people who worked
on the proposal, I guess.

PROPOSAL BY KO EUN-SUNG, SUNWOO HWAN

Will they be gone overnight?

On the first day, there's a presentation.
The meetings are on the following day.

So it's an overnight trip.

Won't someone from headquarters join them?

The second branch is in charge of this,
so we only assist them with the documents.

You have to lower the unit cost
for the bidding in secret, Mr. Park.

Mr. Park.

Can I trust you on this?

Jinsung isn't low enough to deceive
a small company like Changsu Seolleongtang

with only 20 restaurants to win a bid.

Supplying for Donghae Cruise can be

a crucial stepping stone to increasing
presence in the southern market.

I told you.

Ms. Jang has to experience
some failure this time.

I heard Ms. Jang hasn't changed.

You should have joined
Changsu Seolleongtang when I asked you.

If I wanted to found a company
by stealing the secret recipe,

I would have done it
ten years ahead of you.

Don't say that
when you don't have any proof.

KOREAN SOUP MENU PROPOSAL FOR THE CRUISE
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG

PROPOSAL FOR FOOD SUPPLY
FOR DONGHAE CRUISE

I heard Changsu Seolleongtang's CEO

used to be a chief of our second factory.

Yes. Park Chang-su stole our secret recipe
and started the company.

I heard they're in for the bid too.

If our seolleongtang tastes similar,
the bid is about the price in the end.

So I thought of bidding for the breakfast
that incorporates local dishes.

-Bid for the breakfast menu?
-Yes.

If we add moray soup and moray salad
from the Donghae area to seolleongtang,

I think we have a chance to win the bid.

Since it's a cruise, the people who drink
at night might like the additions.

How did you know
about moray soup and salad?

My mom was from the area.

My grandmother used to cook them
for me a lot.

That's why you made a new proposal?

Since it's local food from Donghae,
it will be easier to hire a cook locally.

Did you forget
that we are a seolleongtang company?

I'm sorry.

I calculated the sales with Mr. Lee

and realized if we win this bid,

we can guarantee a 20 percent increase
in sales, so I got too excited.

-Leave it here, and I'll review it.
-Yes.

I'll get going then.

MANAGEMENT APPLICATION FORM
JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY

It's ready.

-Good luck.
-Yes.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Are you still working
at our second branch?

Yes. It just worked out that way.

How? Didn't you turn in
your resignation letter?

Are you curious because you were sure
that I was going to get kicked out?

You said it yourself last time
that you came to hand in your notice.

If you really want to know,
ask Ms. Jang yourself.

Ask her why she's keeping a liar
and a thief in her company.

HWAN

See you later.

Hwan.

At least, you know you should be sorry.

We were supposed to meet.
What happened yesterday?

I didn't think we were meeting.
I was going to call you after work.

I asked you to make some time
in the evening.

Why didn't you call me?

I was drinking after work.

With who?

Are you scolding me right now?

That's not it.

You said you would call after work,

so I waited for your call.

I forgot.

Why did you want to see me?

I needed to make sure you knew something.

Something about Eun-sung.

About Eun-sung?

Are you free tonight?

I can't see you this week
because of the bid for Donghae Cruise.

Is that so?

My uncle has a hotel in the Donghae area.

It looks like he's going to run
a restaurant on a cruise.

There are two routes for the cruise,

so he wants me to manage one of them.

Eun-sung,
I thought we didn't have cruises in Korea,

but they are amazing!

-Did you accept the offer?
-Not yet.

I need your advice before I decide.
That's why I'm asking you to come with me.

How can I help you?

You will know once you get there.

When is your day off?

-We're bidding for the cruise too.
-Really?

Why didn't you tell me?

It was before Ms. Jang gave her approval
for the bidding.

That's great. When is the bid?

I can join you when you go.

I'm not going alone.

I have to go with him.

Who?

Hwan?

Yes.

-Just the two of you?
-Yes.

We're the ones in charge.

Then I'll meet you there.

Aren't you free after work
on the first day?

What is it though?

You have to go and see for yourself.

When we come back,
let's proceed with the lawsuit, too.

I found a law school senior
who will defend you for free.

I told him about your situation,
and he told me to bring the documents.

Really?

Aren't you saying it's free when it's not?

A lot of lawyers defend a few cases
for free each month

as an outreach for the disadvantaged.

Can we win though?

He said the odds are in our favor.

Really?

What happened? You never slept out before.
Grandma's upset.

Grandma.

How dare you sleep out without telling us?

I told you it's okay to eat out,
but didn't I tell you to sleep at home?

It was remarkable that you came home
to sleep no matter how drunk you were.

I passed out after drinking too much.

Those flowers...

Eun-sung told me to buy them.

Grandma, why did you send Eun-sung
back to our second location?

Is it really for the sales?

What do you want to know?

Do you trust her?

Trust? Do you know how many people
have deceived me for all these years?

I don't even trust my own family.

Then what did you see in Eun-sung
that you wanted to leave your company?

You said you trust her,

that Eun-sung will run the company
like you would.

Yes, I did say that.

Then what made you sure of her?

Eun-sung has compassion.

Compassion?

When it comes to a human being
of sound body and mind,

anyone can have sympathy,

but compassion is a different story.

While sympathy

is feeling bad and sorry for others,

compassion is...

a feeling that keeps you
from turning your back from them.

A feeling that keeps you
from turning your back?

Anyone can pity people in hardship.

Anyone can think that way,

but not all of them can actually
reach out to them.

But those who cannot turn their backs

will reach out to them.

Back then,

Eun-sung helped me

and took care of me for a week.

What was it?

It was like that story from the Bible,

the story about the widow
and the silver coin.

She didn't share with others
because she had plenty to spare.

She shared their hunger.

That's how bad
Eun-sung's situation was back then.

It means that you trust her, right?

If she knew my face before that,
then it's a different story.

Did she seem like she knew you?

If I knew that,
why would I sell seolleongtang?

I'd rake in money
from all over the country as a psychic.

So, do you trust her or what?

I have known her in-depth
for a short period of time.

I guess you have known her on the surface
for a long time.

What does your intuition say?

Does that even matter?

You heard what Seung-mi and her mom said.

Then both of us
should take more time to think.

If we win the bid,
we make the 20 percent increase in sales.

What are you going to do
with Eun-sung after that?

I'm still thinking.

A suit and a suitcase?

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

I never thought I'd see you
go on a business trip.

My son, you look like a real man now.

Didn't you know I'm a man?

Of course, I did. I gave birth to you.

I'm just saying. You know how people say

that a hardworking man is beautiful.

It's "A hardworking man is sexy."

That's why I like Jun-se.

What's sexy about Jun-se?

Hwan, women and men
have different perspectives on guys.

Looking at you right now,

I can see why Grandma said
we couldn't eat unless we work.

Your dad was really hot
when he was working too.

Where's Grandma?

She leaves early these days.
Probably because she's embarrassed.

She left already.

Right.

Where are you going to sleep?
Did you book a hotel?

Mom, how can a waiter
at a seolleongtang restaurant get a hotel?

By the way, it must suck for you.

What are you going to do with Eun-sung
during your spare time?

What are you talking about?

Hwan, book a different hotel.

This is work.

It's doesn't matter who I go with.

This is work, so stop nagging me.

Hey, have you seen a mother
who doesn't worry about her baby?

You are not my mother.

This is too cruel.

Why do you have to go on the trip
with that guy?

Jun-se will be there, you know.

Lord, please save this young, poor soul
from the temptation of the Devil.

Why is he the Devil?

Look at you siding with him already.

Don't fall for the atmosphere
and let your guard down.

I won't.

When your heart is floating like a boat
on the blue ocean waves,

think about Hwan's family,
let alone Seung-mi.

You wouldn't close the restaurant for good
and go to Donghae, right?

Why? Will that be a problem?

Of course, it will be.

What about me?

Gross. I should hurry and leave.

Jun-se, that man came back.

The man that has no name.

He came back?

He said he'd leave Seoul for good.

That's what he told me too,
but he came back asking for work.

So? Did you say no?

I gave him work right away.

What's gotten into you?

He's a veteran in this field, after all.

I turned a blind eye
and hired him because of you.

I did him an act of kindness.

In fact,
he is really good at finding flaws.

I should visit him
after I come back from Donghae.

Jun-se, I'll carry it for you.

Let's go.

I came here to ask
for the contact information

of a former student named Jung In-yeong.

She did attend our school,

but how do you know her?

I really need to ask her something.

I can't just give you the information.

Leave your name and number,
and I'll give them to In-yeong.

Well, I don't have
any contact information to leave you.

You don't have a phone?

Then I'll just come back
the day after tomorrow.

Please tell her
that it's about Ko Eun-sung.

"Ko Eun-sung"?

Yes.

A worn out looking man?

Why would someone like that look for me?

Ko Eun-sung? She is my high school friend.

He said it's something about Eun-sung?

It's been days, so I think
Ms. Jang won't approve your proposal.

I guess we should only bid
for seolleongtang as planned.

What did you add to it anyway?

Didn't Ms. Jang say anything at home?

She doesn't talk about work with me.

Ms. Ko went through
all the trouble for nothing.

It's all right.

You two should get going.

Mr. Lee, can I go with them?

Why would you?

These days,
they don't work together very well.

How can they spend two days
when they ignore each other completely?

-I'll go and lighten up the mood--
-Forget it!

Let's go.

He will kill me if I do go with you.

Come on, Su-jae.

I'll get going then.

I rewrote the management application
and proposal as you ordered.

You didn't tell anyone, did you?

No. I wrote it myself.
No one knows about it.

Good.

We have to give this to the party
who already left. Send Yoo Seung-mi.

Yoo Seung-mi?

You have to teach the young employees
and let them see what the bidding is like.

There's a presentation.
The meetings are on the following day.

So it's an overnight trip.

Yoo Seung-mi.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry to tell you at the last minute,
but you'll have to go on a business trip.

A business trip?

We need to add something
on the bid package for the Donghae Cruise.

Ms. Jang told me to send you.

Ms. Jang is sending me?

She told me to send you
so you can learn about the bidding.

Where do I need to go and by what time?

Did we get Ms. Jang's approval?

I just got the call. Prepare the meeting
with the second proposal.

Yes. What about the documents?

An employee from HQ will deliver it
to you on-site.

All right.

Then I'll go with the second proposal.
Thanks.

Did Grandma approve?

She just told Mr. Lee to proceed with
the breakfast idea with the local food.

She could have told us earlier.

Who's bringing the application?

Someone from HQ will bring it
ten minutes before the presentation.

Why does she need my car keys
all of a sudden?

What's going on? What business trip?

Hwan went to Donghae,
and he is missing some documents.

Grandma told me to take it to him.

She asked you to do that?

Why would Hwan go to Donghae
for a business trip?

It's for a bid.
He's already on his way with Eun-sung.

I'm in a hurry. I'll talk to you later.

With Eun-sung?

What do you want to eat?

I don't feel like eating,
so you go ahead and eat.

What?

-One order of tteokbokki, please.
-Sure.

-One squid as well, please.
-Okay.

I thought you weren't hungry.

You have to eat this kind of food
when you are on the road.

-You should eat something.
-Forget it.

I don't want to eat alone.

You are way cheaper than me.

You made me starve.

I told you to eat, but you didn't.

Where did all that compassion go?

You don't mind eating alone at all.

You said you don't eat this kind of food.

-Do you want walnut bread?
-It's too sweet.

Have some of this then.

How can I eat tteokbokki
while I'm driving?

-Then eat squid.
-It's too fishy.

I want tteokbokki.

Give me some.

You eat it yourself.

If I get into an accident
while eating tteokbokki,

do you want to be responsible for it?

Here.

It's not bad. Give me some more.

They left early.

Call Ms. Ko when you get there.

Are you on the road?

Where are you?

You left early.

All right. I'll be there
by the time you're done.

I think it'll be over
by 4 p.m. at the latest.

Yes. See you later.

Is Jun-se coming?

Hey.
Do you think a business trip is a joke?

Why did you call Jun-se?

He's coming for his work, too.

He got an offer
to run a restaurant on a cruise.

-What?
-That's why he is coming.

That's the same thing!

Why does he have to come
when you're working?

Why is it a problem
if I'm seeing him after work?

Isn't it pretty?

It is.

I love the smell of the sea.

We've got some time.

What do you want to do?

We can go somewhere
and review the proposal.

You still can't memorize it
after looking at it for days?

It's because we have time left.

What's that?

Doesn't it remind you of someone?

I feel sad whenever I see Grandma.

Not when you see me?

Hold on.

You have to walk barefoot on the beach.

How nice!

Take off your shoes.

-Hurry!
-Hey!

My goodness.

Stand there.

No thanks.

-Stand there.
-I said no thanks.

You said we live by memories
when we get old.

You need photos to do that.

Did you take it?

Hurry.

So tacky.

What kind of pose is that?

Let me see how amazing your poses are.

Quit it.

Then why did you take photos of me?

I have a face straight out of a magazine.

Give it to me. I'll take it for you!

I said no.

-Do you want to send your car to Seoul?
-Yes.

You can call the number I gave you
to get the address.

It's my mom's number.

-How about the fee?
-She'll pay you once you get there.

I'll give you the photos when we get back.

Don't you dare forget.

It's so pretty here.

Are you surprised?

What are you doing here?

Ms. Jang sent me to give you
the additional documents.

Grandma sent you here?

That's why I'm here.
How can I be here at this hour otherwise?

Eun-sung.

-Yes.
-We're here to work.

Let's take it easy.

Ms. Jang sent me,

so I couldn't refuse.

I get it.

How did you get here?

I took a cab so that I wouldn't be late.

I'll go in first.

OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR THE CRUISE

DINERS AND RESTAURANTS

I think we need sophisticated plates
to match the image of the cruise.

Not the ones that we use now...

You have to do well tomorrow.

All our competitors are here.

Don't worry.

Did it go well?

-When did you come?
-Just now.

It's been a long time, Seung-mi.

I didn't know you were coming, too.

I joined afterward
because Ms. Jang sent me.

What brought you here?

The cruise ship enters port today,

so I want to look around with Eun-sung
and talk about it.

-Do I get to see the cruise ship?
-Yes.

We have to go now.

What about you guys?

-Hwan, let's not--
-We can...

-go with you, right?
-You can,

-but you don't have to.
-Then we'll go.

It will be helpful for tomorrow
if we see it before the bidding.

Then let's go.

It's better than you thought, isn't it?

It's different from the pictures.

Let's go. I'll show you around.

Let's take a look, Hwan.

We'll go.

Tough, isn't it?

That's interesting.

It's pretty.

Why did you bring us here?
It's exhausting.

I'm thinking of taking charge
of either the route to Japan or Russia.

Eun-sung, which one do you want?

Sorry?

Since I have a restaurant in Seoul,

I think it will be great if you and Hye-ri
could manage the restaurant on the cruise.

The restaurant on the cruise we just saw?

You won't be working
at the second branch after a month.

Since you won't work
for Jinsung after that,

you have to find a new job.

That's true, but...

You can go back and forth at ease
and clear your head for a while.

Show off some of your new dishes too.

Hye-ri will be there with you so
you can do your thing from time to time.

A restaurant on a cruise.

It sure sounds great.

I'm starving to death.

Looks like we were inconsiderate.

Let's talk about it alone, later.

Hwan, which hotel did you book for us?

I reserved a place. Hope you guys like it.

For us two?

You two and us two?

I thought Hwan and I could use this one,

and Eun-sung could use that one alone.

If it's too uncomfortable, let me know.
I'll find another place for you.

I'm good.

I'll go and leave my bag.

Just wash your hands. Let's have dinner.

Leave your bag and come to the car.

At places like this, the men have to cook.

I was going to cook anyway.

We could have eaten out.
You didn't have to cook.

Eating steak outside is unbelievable.

It feels like we're crashing your date.

We're stealing your wine too.

When I saw you,
I thought you two would leave us alone.

Is it done?

It's done. Give me the plates.

Here.

I prepared this knowing Hwan was coming.

This is for Eun-sung.

She can't eat clams.

-Aren't you going to eat?
-I'm eating.

It's boiling.

I'm allergic to clams.

Eun-sung, you can't eat clams?

I'm allergic to clams.

I'm sorry, Eun-sung.

I think I misjudged you.

What do you mean?

Maybe you didn't have evil intentions.

Maybe you did get us wrong.

Mom is getting ready
to resolve your misunderstanding.

She found the promissory notes.
She contacted the creditors too.

-Yeah?
-Stop it, Seung-mi.

That's not a suitable topic here, is it?

-I wanted to resolve--
-I get it.

However...

I'm getting ready too.

All right.

Whatever you do, I hope
it will resolve your misunderstanding.

Give it to me.

Please take it right away.

Gosh.

Why am I getting a headache
all of a sudden?

You've been stressed
over many things recently.

Right.

I guess I'm overworked.

By the way, Jeong just told me

that Jun-se also went to Donghae.

Jun-se?

He was offered a partnership
to open a restaurant.

Really?

All four of them are there, right?

I'm worried about how they're doing.

What do you think?

They're probably going
at one another like crazy.

It has to be the hardest on Hwan.

What can we do? That's his burden to bear.

Young kids have such a hot temper

that they explode
if you mess with them the wrong way.

They have to face each other by themselves
so they won't have any regrets.

It's a half moon.

What's she doing
in the middle of the night?

SEUNG-MI

This is Park Jun-se.

Why are you picking up?

Because Hwan isn't here.

When did he go out?

I don't know.
Why are you looking for him at this hour?

I woke up early,
so I wanted to see the sunrise with him.

Eun-sung isn't here either.

Don't.

Don't do anything with Park Jun-se.

Don't run the restaurant together.
Don't even be with him.

Don't do anything with him!

-What's wrong with you?
-Stay by my side.

Stay by my side.

What can we possibly do

with them around?

Do you know what exists between us?

Seung-mi and Jun-se are between us.

Grandma, your mother, and Jeong who think
of me as an evil crook are between us.

There are also Eun-u and my dad!

So please stop.

Stop right there!

Why does any of that matter?

I trust you.

I like you.

I want you.
