Shining Inheritance (2009): Season 1, Episode 27 - Episode #1.27 - full transcript

Ko Eun-sung!

Please let me go!
I have to catch that flight!

Do you want to see me go crazy?

Please just let me go!

Eun-sung!

Jun-se.

Eun-sung. Don't be shocked and listen.

Your father.

Your father, Ko Pyeong-jung,

is alive.

Eun-sung.



It's me, your dad.

Dad.

-Eun-sung!
-Eun-sung!

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, it is really you.

Eun-sung!

Dad!

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

What happened?

Why didn't you contact me even once
when you were alive?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.



More importantly,
why are you at the airport?

I heard you tried to leave
without telling anyone.

Eun-u...

-I came to see Eun-u.
-Eun-u?

Eun-sung, what do you mean by "Eun-u"?

She, Seung-mi's mom said

that she found Eun-u,
so I was going to leave with him.

She found Eun-u?

EUN-SUNG

The number you have dialed
is switched off.

Is she already on the flight?

No. No way.

That can't happen.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

What?

Eun-sung came last night
and handed in her letter of resignation?

Yes, she said she found a new job
all of a sudden,

and asked me to hand it to you instead.

She didn't say anything about it
when she saw me two days ago.

Hwan didn't say anything either.
What on earth happened?

When Hwan came to work
and heard about this,

he went out to look for her in shock.

-Hwan did that?
-Yes.

All right.

Go attend the managers' meeting.

I'll get going then.

Yoo Seung-mi handed in
her letter of resignation,

and Eun-sung handed in hers too
without notice?

Did she really say if you don't leave,

you would never see Eun-u again?

Did you really believe her
after everything she's done to you?

She wasn't lying.

If I didn't meet Eun-u in Tokyo,

I wouldn't have gone to the States
and come back.

She said she would bring Eun-u
in the following flight.

If that's true,

she should be in the airport
with Eun-u right now.

Call her.

Don't say that you met your father,
just check if she's here.

3 MISSED CALLS
SEUNG-MI'S MOTHER

Why can't you find him?

Why can't you find him already
when he ran out of your car?

INCOMING CALL
EUN-SUNG

Hello, Eun-sung.

Where are you?

I'm at the airport. I called to check.

You are at the airport with Eun-u, right?

Eun-sung, don't catch the flight today.

Eun-u is too sick,
I don't think I can bring him today.

Eun-u's sick?

How is he sick?

He has a cold with fever,
so he can't leave today.

Just go back for now.

I'll call you back when Eun-u gets better,
so go back and wait.

And again,

keep the promise you made.

You can't tell anyone about this.

Let's go to Seung-mi's house right now.

How can he get sick all of a sudden?

She told Eun-sung not to board the flight,

Eun-u could really be sick.

Still, we should go and check.

Eun-sung, do you know
where Seung-mi moved to?

Did Seung-mi move?

I heard that they moved

so that I wouldn't find them.

Why did you move?

A creditor we didn't know
about came to find Mom.

So we sold the house.

-Hello?
-Eun-sung, where are you?

Grandma.

What did you just say?

You met your father?

What?

I heard about you and Ms. Jang

from Jun-se on our way here.

But we can't just go to her
because she told you to.

We should find Eun-u first.

She told me to come for Eun-u's sake, too.

Sir, it's better to get her help
in this situation.

She's not just any old lady.

Don't worry.

You can go.

Come to think of it, you were with
Eun-sung when I found her.

Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Sunwoo Hwan.

Hello.

Who is he?

He is Ms. Jang's grandson.

Her grandson?

At first, I believed that you and Eun-u
went to the States.

But when you emailed
that you were afraid of

losing the insurance money because of me

and lost contact,

I started to get suspicious.

You got

an email from me?

An email came to you under her name?

Yes, an email was sent under her name

and written as if Eun-sung wrote it.

The emails went back and forth
several times.

How can someone...

Who on earth...

If I had told Jun-se about it sooner,

you...

you wouldn't have gone through so much.

Then for all this time,

you and Jun-se knew each other?

Jun-se gave me a job and...

I owe him a lot.

It was nothing.

Real estate next to pork cutlet.

Across the real estate, flower shop.

My sister told me to wait.

Eun-u is bad.

Fresh Supermarket and the eel restaurant.

Find him fast.

-Yes.
-Go.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't chase him because the car
was in the middle of the road.

This is not going to end with an apology!

Do you know what you have ruined?

If you can't find him by tonight,

I'll make you regret it.

Yes, I'll find him no matter what.

Mother, what you're trying to say is...

that everything Seong-hui said was a lie?

Since I thought it was only about
the insurance money,

I was going to take care of it quietly...

This is beyond imagination.

No,

it's unimaginable.

I'm telling you this in advance

so you won't make a scene
when Eun-sung's father gets here.

Yeong-ran, get Eun-sung's room ready.

Seong-cheol, come to my room.

-Yes.
-Goodness.

Eun-sung's father is coming to our house?

Why?

You'll see.

-Actually, you can help out.
-Pardon?

Help out with what?

Please come in.

Go ahead, sir.

-Dad.
-All right.

Eun-sung asked me not to tell you.

Did she really threaten you?

Are you saying that my mom's lying?

YOO SEUNG-MI

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Yoo Seung-mi,

come to Yeong-seok's bar
as soon as you get this message.

Come right away.

Grandma.

This is my father.

Nice to meet you.

-I'm Ko Pyeong-jung.
-Nice to meet you.

I'm Eun-sung's grandma.

Since the situation is quite unusual,

let's talk about other matters later

and focus on what to do from now.

She wanted Eun-sung and Eun-u
out of the country

not only because of Seung-mi,

but also because Mr. Ko
said that he'll turn himself in.

It's not a bad deal for Seung-mi's mother.

If Eun-sung's father turns himself in,

she needs to cough up
the insurance money anyway.

If she gives the two their share
and makes them leave,

Seung-mi's mother only needs
to cough up her own share.

And she could've hid
from Eun-sung's father

that she tried to separate him
from his daughter

and that she abandoned Eun-u.

But,

why did you ask us to come?

You can't lose Eun-u again
this time, can you?

If she finds out Eun-sung met her father,

she might not let Eun-u go.

What do you mean she won't let Eun-u go?

When a rat is cornered,
it can bite the cat.

You know how she is.
She's no ordinary person.

What's your plan then?

We'll first make sure that she has Eun-u,

and then take the fight out of her
so she won't bite back.

Then we'll chase her from behind

and block her way out.

YEONG-RAN

Hello, Yeong-ran.

Seong-hui, it's me.

Where are you right now?

Why do you ask?

It's just that Mother wants you
to come over.

What does she want with me?

Eun-sung suddenly disappeared,

and I heard that she was gone
without a trace.

Is that so?

What about it?

I think she wants to ask you a few things.

Like where Eun-sung might go.

How would I know that?

That's what I told her, too.

I told her to ask Seung-mi
to come instead.

Seung-mi?

But there's something off about Mother.

She said that

there was something she had to ask you

other than Eun-sung's whereabouts,

that she couldn't let Seung-mi know about.

Something Seung-mi shouldn't know?

Yes.

She wants you to come today
even if you're coming late.

Are you coming?

Yes, ma'am.

I haven't found Yeong-jae yet.

Report to the police?

No, there's no need.

He does this once in a while.

I'll take care of it, so don't worry.
All right.

What's going on?

-Did you lose Yeong-jae?
-What?

-I did.
-When and where?

-On his way to the center this morning.
-What?

It's been too long!
Why didn't you report it to the police?

Hey, don't.

-Don't do what?
-Well, it's...

What's going on?

The truth is...

he's not my cousin.

He's not your cousin?

Then who is he?

People told me he was homeless.

He loved the piano so much,

so I was going to let him play once...

-Then he wouldn't leave.
-What?

-You didn't know who he was?
-No.

KO EUN-SUNG

She can't bring Eun-u because he is sick.

She told Eun-sung not to board the flight,

Eun-u could really be sick.

I can't call her before I check.

What if he doesn't turn out to be Eun-u?

If Seung-mi comes,
tell her to wait and call me.

One, two.

Excuse me.

Have you seen an autistic kid
with glasses about this tall?

No.

Have you seen an autistic kid
with glasses about this tall?

No, I haven't.

Wasn't there any kid who barged in
and played the piano?

No, there wasn't.

Piano!

Piano!

Piano!

Piano!

Something Seung-mi shouldn't know about?

Did she find out I was divorced penniless
from Seung-mi's birth father?

Does she intend to question
where my money came from?

It's something I can't avoid.

-You're here.
-Hi.

Well...

Mother's right there. Go ahead.

Welcome.

How have you been?

Good, thanks to you. Have a seat.

I heard you were sick,
but I couldn't drop by.

I thought it'd be better for you to rest.

I wanted to rest,

but one thing came up after another,

I couldn't relax at all.

I don't know what it is,

but I guess
I also gave you a headache somehow.

Yes, you did.

It was actually a nasty headache
you gave me.

Tell me if you have something to say.

It isn't something I can tell you alone.

Just stay with me. I'm so nervous.

I want to, but...

-You know I have to go.
-What?

Yes.

It looks like you're very curious

about how this father and daughter met.

Where is Eun-u?

Where is my brother?

It's all over.

Let's get it over with.

Eun-u comes first.

Tell us where he.

Why should I talk about Eun-u with you?

Eun-u's father and sister are here.

Say it. Where is Eun-u?

I don't know.

I just wanted Eun-sung to leave.

Stop lying!

Are you really going to be like this?

I was alive

and desperately looking
for Eun-sung and Eun-u.

After separating a father
from his children,

how could you even think of
getting rid of Eun-u again?

I didn't separate anyone.

I can't separate the dead from the living.

What?

Weren't you dead?

It was your choice that you made.

If you didn't fake your death,

I wouldn't have started this mess.

I can't stand to listen to you!

Who says it's okay

to take the insurance money and kick
the kids out when your husband dies?

No one can say what's right or wrong
unless they've been in that situation.

Are you saying it was right of you
to abandon Eun-u?

Did you see me abandon Eun-u yourself?

All right.

You're someone who likes evidence.

You said you'd turn yourself in.

I'm sorting out my estate right now,
so call me.

No!

Everything you said before was a lie,

but you didn't lie about Eun-u.

When you talked about Seung-mi,
I could feel it was sincere.

So, please...

tell me

where Eun-u is.

All right.

I'll tell you once I find out where he is.

I can't tell you right now
because I don't know where he is.

You said it yourself!

If I didn't see Eun-u in Tokyo,

I wouldn't go to the States either.

I was going to hire a person in Tokyo

to force you to go to Philadelphia.

What?

Hey!

I'm not dead anymore.

Eun-u...

If you harm him even a tiny bit,

I'll kill you myself.

You did well holding back.

Even I wanted to grab her hair
and slam her to the ground!

My teeth hurt from clenching them so hard.

I can't imagine how you two must feel.

But since Eun-u comes first,

we'll save the anger

for later when we find him.

Mr. Pyo made
a special missing person's report

to the police as you asked him to.

If Seung-mi's family has Eun-u with them,

we'll find him in two days at most.

How can a person do that?

Eun-sung.

I'm so sorry

for misjudging you all this time.

It's all right.

Pyeong-jung.

Didn't you know

what kind of person Seong-hui was
when you lived together?

What about you?

I just met her once in a while, you know.

Eun-sung, I'm sorry.

I'm too ashamed to be called your father.

Don't say that. It's not even your fault.

That's why...

people are scary.

You can't look into their hearts.

Eun-u, Piano, or whatever...

will you come out already?

Hey.

Ko Eun-u.

Is your sister Ko Eun-sung?

It's Ko Eun-sung, right?

I have to wait for my sister.

You punk...

Was it you?

This is not good!

Hey, you!

No.

She went straight home.

I think it's her new place.

It's not the apartment
she used to live, ma'am.

All right.

Make sure you know where she goes next.

-Thanks.
-Yes.

We'll sleep here just for tonight

and head to Buam-dong tomorrow.

You can't take your father
when you're living with your friend.

Stay here for a while.

Hye-ri's going to stay
at her friend's place for a while.

I lived there, didn't I?

It was so small that we bumped
into each other constantly.

That's how we got close quickly.

Pyeong-jung, you can stay at our place.

I can't.

I'll live like I did

until I turn myself in
and sort things out.

You can turn yourself in tomorrow

and recover your identity.

That way you can really act like
Eun-sung's father.

I want to...

but I'm concerned about Eun-u.

I told you I'll find Eun-u.

If he isn't with Seung-mi's mother,

I'll air an advertisement or something.

I regret that I didn't do it sooner

because I thought it might put him
in danger.

Don't worry.

This is the house where your sister
and I live.

Pretty.

Your sister is in there. Spy.

Spy is pretty too.

Yes. Spy is pretty.

So is your sister.

It's all right, so let's go in.

So this is the place
where my daughter stayed at.

Grandma treated me so well.

Eun-u.

My sister!

Dad!

Eun-u!

Eun-u!

Eun-u.

Eun-u.

Eun-u.

Too tight.

Dad.

It's our Eun-u.

It's our Eun-u.

Son...

Eun-sung.

What happened?

How did you find him?

I found him a long time ago...

but I didn't know it was him.

Where did you find Eun-u?

The kid at Yeong-seok's bar...

That was Eun-u.

You said he was Yeong-seok's cousin.

Yes, but--

I can't tell anyone
if I want to meet my sister.

I can't meet my sister if I call.

Eun-u, who said that?

Who told you that?

Mom.

Eun-u.

Did Mom really tell you that?

Mom's phone number

is 010-6856-0517.

Mom's license plate is 46 Ra, 9308.

Suite 503, Baekma Apartment.

It's where Seung-mi used to live,

and her mom's old phone number.

You were right.

She abandoned him.

And then...

she told me...

Are you all right?

Grandma.

I can't hold back like this.

Please ask Mr. Pyo
where Seung-mi's place is.

Right. Let's go.

Hwan.

Give them a ride to Seung-mi's place.

Drop them off and come back right away.

That bar...

Seung-mi's been there too, right?

Mom, what are you doing?
Are you packing already?

Seung-mi.

You have to leave right now.

What are you talking about?

Let's go.

Mom, you did what?

I told you to take Eun-u to Eun-sung
before we leave.

I didn't ask you to make Eun-sung leave.

I'm sorry.

Mom, what is wrong with you?

Why are you like this?

Why do you have to be my mom?

Why do you have to be my mom
and drive me crazy?

Do you love money that much?

Why can't you give up on money
when I gave up on Hwan?

Why can't you?

It wasn't about the money.

For once in my life as a mother,

I wanted to do something
that was just for you.

Eun-sung's father was going to
turn himself in,

which meant
he could find Eun-sung in no time.

I didn't want to make you look
like a wreck in front of Hwan.

That's why...

But it ended up like this.

How is that for me?

It's not what I wanted.

I know. That's why you should leave now.

I can't let you get hurt
because of me, Seung-mi.

Leave right now.

I'll face the consequences.

Take this and go to New York.

You always wanted to study there.

Even if I leave, it means nothing now.

I can't see you suffer here because of me,

so please go.

Then at least tell me
where you lost Eun-u.

I can't.

Eun-sung's father deserved it
because he started it,

but not Eun-u.

How can I say that I lost Eun-u again?

I can't. Never.

Then are you going to make Eun-u
homeless again?

I'm looking for him right now.

I'll find him and send him,
or raise him myself.

Mom...

Mom, what is wrong with you?

You can leave us here.

What is wrong with you?

Why aren't you listening to me?

You have to leave now.

Mom...

Seung-mi, here.

Let's go.

Eun-u!

Seung-mi.

You monster!

It's Mom.

It'll hurt her if you hit her.

You can't hurt Mom.

Did you hear that?

He called you Mom.

Mom.

Eun-u did as you said.

I have to listen to Mom to meet my sister.

Goddamn you!

Hey.

Were you the one who wrote
those emails to my dad?

Did you email my dad

using my name?

I did.

How could you do that?

How could you stop me
from seeing my dad when he was alive?

On top of that,

did you try to send me and Eun-u
to the States this time?

So we'd never meet Dad again?

Not this time.

I told Mom to take Eun-u to you
and leave together.

If you didn't meet Grandma,

I would have told you sooner.

Do you know what it means to me

to tell you that your father's alive?

It means I'm over with Hwan.

Are you saying that you hid
that my dad was alive

and didn't let me see him
all because of Hwan?

Just because of that one person?

Your dad is precious to you, right?

That's how Hwan is to me.

Your dad is a really good person.

I met him a few times
before my mom married him,

and I liked him so much.

He was sweet and kind.

He was different from my birth father.

I was happy about him...

being my stepdad.

But you were there too.

You were so close to your dad

that two of you ate out together.

No matter how late he came home,
he talked to you for at least 30 minutes.

There was no space for me.

It's not like he treated you coldly.

He didn't.

He did his best to treat me
as the daughter of his new wife.

But that made me even more miserable.

I felt like I was a burden
that came along with my mom.

I couldn't invite my friends over
even once,

and I always went
to school 30 minutes early

so I could hide that we lived together.

What does that have to do with this?

Hwan...

He had a lonely and rough life like me.

People didn't like him
because he was arrogant and mean,

but he wasn't like that to me.

That's why I liked him even more.

It felt like...

there was someone in this world
who treated me different from others.

You don't know how precious that is.

Hwan was the only one.

I couldn't imagine myself without him.

So...

because of him,

you hid everything
when you knew all about it?

Sunwoo Hwan.

Just for that one person?

I'm so sorry, Eun-sung...

but I didn't have any other choice
at the time.

There is a line that one shouldn't cross.

We still lived together
for seven years as a family.

How could you do this
to me and the children?

I did it for my kid,
just like you did it for yours.

-What?
-You faked your death for your kids.

It wasn't for Seung-mi, was it?

When we lived together, too.

You sent Eun-sung to the States
while Seung-mi was the smarter one.

You planned to hand over your company
to Eun-sung too.

It was for Eun-u.

Eun-sung has to take care of her brother
all her life.

Yes. I understand.

You didn't have any other choice.

So you should understand me too.

I didn't have any other choice
for my daughter.

Each person has

a different set of choices.

Did you kick out Eun-sung and Eun-u

because you had no other choice?

The insurance payout was huge!

I have to give it back since you're alive.

Why do you keep bringing it up?

Why did I kick them out empty-handed?

The money was for devoting seven years
to your family

and for ruining Seung-mi's life and mine.
I couldn't split it.

-What?
-That's what it was like for me.

Like for you how?

Don't you know why I married you?

I needed a father for Seung-mi
and someone who won't make me pathetic.

Was money that important to you?

Was it so important that you abandoned
the kid who thinks of you as his mom?

Eun-u?

To you and Eun-sung,
it might look like I abandoned him.

In my perspective,
I only took the kid to a safe place

because I couldn't raise him myself.

Is that why you lost him and did nothing?

-I was looking for him.
-What if you couldn't?

What were you going to do
if Ms. Jang's grandson didn't find Eun-u?

Who?

Who found Eun-u?

Why? Are you shocked?

Because the one you wanted Seung-mi
to marry so badly

found Eun-u?

The greatest mistake of my life

was trying to collect insurance money
for my own selfish reasons.

But the greater mistake...

was meeting you.

Yoo Seung-mi.

Are you really the Seung-mi that I know?

Are you?

Are you out of your mind?

How could you do something like that?

How could you say
that a living person was dead?

How could you stop a father
from meeting his daughter?

Why did you do that? Why?

Did you say it was for me?

What am I to you?

Why would you do such horrible things
because of me?

I don't know.

What are you to me
that I did those things?

You idiot.

There are no secrets in this world.

That's why I told you
to tell the truth already.

Why did you end up like this
instead of telling them?

How could I tell the truth...

when I knew you would react like this?

I was going to leave
after taking Eun-u to Eun-sung...

but I got caught.

Go.

Go with Eun-sung, Father,

and Eun-u.

You have to take them home.

Hey, Hwan.

If you had told the truth earlier,

I would've known he was Eun-u,
and it wouldn't have come to this!

-Hwan.
-How could you use a kid?

I'm sorry.

I didn't even know I was putting
my children through such hardships.

I thought I was doing you two right.

I'm too ashamed to even look at you.

It's all right, Dad.

I'm just glad that we got met each other.

I'm so happy to see you again.

I missed you so much.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

Jeong-hui, I'm sorry.

Did your father sleep okay?

Yes.

How about Eun-u?

He slept well.

Hello. This is my father.

-Nice to meet you.
-Me too.

I'd like to close this account.

Hye-ri.

Eun-u!

You got even more handsome
over the past few months.

-Eun-u is handsome.
-Yes.

Thank you for coming back safely.

I have a gift for you.

Where's Dad?

He's taking care of business.
He'll come when he's done.

You must be Eun-u.

Nice to meet you.
I'm your sister's friend.

Ta-da!

Let me introduce you
to the house for our family of three!

Dad, aren't you hungry?

I'll cook.

Do you cook?

-Cook?
-Come on, Dad.

I told you that I changed my major
to cooking.

Right. You told me.

Wait just a bit.

Dad.

It's so good. That's why.

Delicious.

Meat!

Eun-u, I'll cook you galbi tomorrow.

Eun-sung, just give me some time.

I'll work really hard.

With my identity recovered
and my experience in the field,

I'll find a job easily.

If you and I make money together,

we'll all be settled in no time, won't we?

Yes.

You were the one

who looked after Eun-sung's father?

Jun-se asked me to.

Since you gave me another chance,
I had to do my part.

Jun-se is saving a lot of people.

Mr. Park, Eun-sung's father...

Be quiet.

So how did it go with Eun-sung's father?

He went to the police, turned himself in,

and talked to the insurance company.

He didn't intend to commit fraud

for the insurance money.

Taking into consideration
that he confessed,

the company won't sue him
if he pays back the insurance money.

That's a relief.

Will he recover his identity
right away then?

It has to go through
the forensic science center,

and get a court ruling,

it will take some time.

What about Seong-hui then?

She even forged documents

to get Eun-sung's share
of the insurance money.

I bet she goes to jail.

She won't be charged as well
as long as she returns the entire sum.

She's getting ready to return the money.

I guess she won't be charged then.

That's not fair! She deceived us too!

Jail isn't the only place
where you get punished.

Then where else?

Life can turn into hell.

If your life is only about money,

your life will become hell without it.

If it's only about love
and you lose your lover,

your life will become hell.

Just like Seong-hui and her daughter.

Money was Seong-hui's life
and Hwan was Seung-mi's.

Aren't you happy

that Eun-sung met her father again
and found her brother?

I'm happy.

Then why the long face?

She couldn't meet her father

and lost Eun-u...

all because of me.

Is Seung-mi bothering you?

If I made our relationship clear
with her in the first place,

this wouldn't have happened.

I left Seung-mi hanging.

Yes.

There's a consequence for every action.

Whether it's good or bad,

there's a consequence.

Grandma, what should I do?

You need to figure that out on your own.

Did you cancel the contract
with the bed store?

Yes.

Then we can return
father's insurance money.

Yes.

Then Mom,

let's give this house back too.

Is that what you want to do?

I have to do that...

to leave in peace.

All right.

Let's do it then.

Are you really going to give it back?

Do as you please.

Mom!

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!
