Cain and Abel (2009): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

EPISODE 10

Just as you had guessed,

Oh Kang-ho is indeed Lee Cho-in.

So where is he?

Where's Lee Cho-in?

I think he's in Cheong-ju.

Cheong-ju?

A woman named
Oh Young-ji took him there.

Oh Young-ji...

Find them.

Whether it be Lee Cho-in
or Oh Young-ji...



Find them now!

Yes, I will.

LONG TERM CONTRACT

Isn't Oh Young-ji
the tour guide back in China?

The one who hid him away.

Oh Young-ji...

The nerve of her!

But we have them
in our grasp.

Cheong-ju is tiny
compared to China.

Man-ho, let's go to Cheong-ju.

Yes, sir.

PARK DAE-SEONG,
CHIEF PSYCHIATRIST

Doctor, I have a question.

If my cousin Kang-ho
regains his memory,



will he forget everything
happening now?

You're referring to
disassociative amnesia.

Yes, disassociative amnesia.

He can't seem to remember
what happened to him,

but seems to remember
everything else.

If that's what he has,

we can't discount
that possibility.

Young-ji...

Were you waiting for me?

I'm so moved I could cry.

Are you mad?

Why would I be mad?

But you are.

Were you worried?

You left a lousy note and didn't
answer your phone all day.

Wouldn't you be worried?

Sorry, Young-ji.

So you regret it already?

THORACOTOMY-CAPABLE
HOSPITALS IN EARLY 1980s

You regret moving here so you're
trying to regain your memory?

You wanted to regain
your memory that bad?

So you just said to hell with
all the promises you made me?

Yes, I did.

I'm sorry, Young-ji.

But when I have these
nightmares every night

about being shot
and begging for my life...

I feel like going crazy.

I wanted to know why
they wanted me dead.

So why do you want to know?

You'll just be in more pain.

Young-ji, don't talk that way.

Even if they are bad memories,
I want to regain them.

And even if my memory does return,
I will keep my promise

of remaining as
Oh Kang-ho to you.

So try to understand.

You say that now, but no one
knows what one's thinking.

If you regain your memory,

you'll forget everything now
and remember only the past.

What do you mean?

I checked on the internet
and talked to the doctor.

If you regain your memory...

You'll forget Kang-chul, me,

and everything here
in Cheong- ju.

Young-ji.

Should I not regain my memory

and live as Oh Kang-ho?

Yes!

Yes, I want that.

I want you to live
just as Oh Kang-ho.

I'm sorry, Mr. Oh.

I just want to be as important to you

as you are to me.

Jung-min, you have
a medical degree.

Sun-woo's seizure is related
to his illness, right?

Jung-min, want me
to die out of frustration?

What was Sun-woo's illness?

It was an astrocytoma.

Astrocytoma?

It's a brain tumor.

What...

Most recurrences of
astrocytoma are malignant.

It could even be grade four.

There must be a way, right?

There's radiation treatment,
but nothing's guaranteed.

Then...

Hope for the best, but...

If it's a recurrence,
he has two years at best.

Lee Sun-woo...

You jerk...

You scumbag...

Yes, I did.

I'm sorry, Young-ji.

When I have these
nightmares every night

about being shot
and begging for my life...

I feel like going crazy.

I want you to live
just as Oh Kang-ho.

This is Lee Cho-in,
and I'm in surgery.

I want you to live
just as Oh Kang-ho.

This is Lee Cho-in,
and I'm in surgery.

Lee Cho-in!

Oh Kang-ho!

Lee Cho-in!

You told me that
Sun-woo was ill.

What was his illness...

Already time
for the morning briefing...

Can we talk?

I'm sorry, but I have a briefing.

-I'll call you later.
-Want me to wait again?

Until when?

Isn't seven years of
wasted time enough?

How long will you
hide it this time?

How long!

Kim Seo-yeon.

Tell me when it recurred!

-Is that important?
-Lee Sun-woo.

You're sick right now
and you need me.

You've come back a mess
yet you're so proud.

After seven years
of no contact,

you should have
come back healthy. Or...

You should have
never contacted me.

You have come back a broken
man, yet you're so proud.

"I'm ill."

"I'm in so much pain,
can you hold my hand?"

Can't you just beg me
to embrace you?

Then you'd have
my pity at least.

No.

I never even had
the chance to get pity.

I learned of the recurrence...

...only when Cho-in
vanished in China.

Seven years ago when I was sick,
and when it recurred now...

I wanted to cry...

But no one was there for me.

So I held up my head high...

I had no choice but to
pretend everything was okay.

Ever since I was
five years old...

It's always been that way
once Cho-in was adopted.

I was never as
sick as Cho-in was.

I was never as
praised as he was.

Even after I became a doctor...

We were always compared even
though he's five years younger.

And even as an adult...

The only thing that
distinguished me was that

I was stricken with a potentially
fatal condition.

It was so sad.

But I didn't want to feel sad.

So I felt I had to hold
my head up high and be proud.

That's why you hid it
all this time?

Because of pride?

After Cho-in's adoption...

That was the only way I could
get Dad's love and attention.

What's so important
about pride?

So what if it's pity or compassion?

You said you
never forgot me.

Then you should've
told me to wait.

My biggest regret in life

is that I couldn't tell
you back then.

I'm sorry, Seo-yeon.

DUMPLING HOUSE
OPEN EVENINGS

MR. OH KANG-HO

So you'll be okay continuing
to live like this?

Even if you don't regain your memory?

Is this the dumpling house?

Mr. Oh, have you left already?

For good?

I never wanted to make you
cry like this young girl.

I just wanted to be happy
with you like these kids.

I'm just an idiot who can't
even remember his name.

But just as kids age
year by year,

I wanted us to make memories
together little by little.

Just as you turn into
a lady day by day,

I wanted us to grow together.

I wanted to regain my memory
and stick with you.

Even if you and I were
to grow fat like these people.

Comrade Young-ji.

Happy birthday,
Comrade Young-ji.

Mr. Oh, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry.

I thought that you
left me for good.

Because I'm
a terrible person...

Young-ji, you are
not a bad person.

I'm so grateful to you.

Young-ji.

I'll abide by your wishes.

I won't try to regain
my memory.

You mean that?

You really won't try
to regain your memory?

I won't.

Thank you, Mr. Oh.

Hey, you always call me
Comrade Kang-ho.

What's with this
Mr. Oh stuff again?

Young-ji.

From now on...

How about calling me Kang-ho?

Okay, I'll do that.

Kang-ho...

Time to make a wish
and blow out the candles.

Mr. Oh...

My wish has already come true.

You didn't leave.

What's this?

Can I open it?

It's makeup.
I noticed you ran out.

Thank you.

So pretty.

You like it?

Yes, a lot.

But it looks so expensive,
where did you get the money?

Don't worry about it.

Want to try it on?

Give me a minute.

How do I look?

Let's wait a while.

I can find out who I am after
Young-ji becomes happy.

Cho-in.

Sun-woo is...

He's ill.

He may never recover.

So...

For me and Sun-woo...

Would you root for us?

He's your brother
that you so loved.

Lee Cho-in.

Let's meet in the next world.

Mr. Oh!

Come eat.

Mr. Oh!

THORACOTOMY-CAPABLE
HOSPITALS IN EARLY 1980s

Mr. Oh!

Kang-ho, come have
some breakfast.

THORACOTOMY-CAPABLE
HOSPITALS IN 1980

All set.

-Check again.
-Sure.

Dr. Kang Seok-hoon?

-Go ahead.
-Okay.

Yes, Miss Kim Seo-yeon.

You know me?

Of course I know you.

Your smiling picture was always
on Dr. Lee Sun-woo's desk.

He probably endured all
his pain and illness

just to be healthy when he saw you.

Even though it didn't work out.

That's why I came to
see you, Dr. Kang.

You're here to ask
about his condition?

Yes.

Be honest with me.

Did you get some pictures?

They came out great.

So the only thing left is to
get paid by Lee Sun-woo.

Dr. Lee, this is Choe.

Did you see the pictures?

I'm looking at them right now.

Should I go confirm
that he's Lee Cho-in?

No.

I'll confirm it myself.

You asked for me?

I may be gone,
possibly for a while.

So do tomorrow's briefing
with Dr. Kang.

Yes, sir.

Sun-woo.

Are you free today?

Mr. Lee Sun-woo.

Going to turn down my first
dating request in 7 years?

Where should we go?

I haven't been on one
of these in so long.

I used to think they were fast,
but they're quite slow.

You were young.

And you were always
cooped up in the hospital.

So it must have felt fast.

So you know where
we're headed?

I've always known.

Seo-yeon, didn't you say
you've never seen the sea?

-Here.
-What's this?

The ticket to the sea.

To the sea?

Yes.

This ticket can take you
to the sea at any time.

So this transplant
has to go well.

Then I'll take you
to the sea.

Really?

Yes, have I ever lied to you?

How long till we
get to the sea?

Just a bit more.

-It's so stuffy.
-Just leave it on.

If you get a cold, we'll get
caught for sneaking out.

Okay.

Thanks to that ticket
you gave me,

I mustered up the courage
for that scary surgery.

And thanks to that,
I'm still alive.

You were someone who
could take me anywhere.

My superman, my knight,
and my prince.

No, I was more
grateful to you.

For believing in me
and receiving treatment.

Sun-woo.

Now will you believe in me
and receive treatment?

It's my turn to be your
superman and knight.

Believe in me
and receive treatment, yes?

Yes, I'll receive treatment.

Then it's a promise.

You'll be healthy again.

Seo-yeon.

Will you promise me something?

No matter what I do to
remain living by your side,

will you be on my side?

No matter what
bad things I may do,

if it's to stay by your side,

will you believe in me
till the end?

Yes, I'll believe
in you, Sun-woo.

Excuse me, sir.

Pardon me.

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

By any chance...

Do you know me?

I've never seen you before.

I'm sorry.

Boss, I practically died.

I thought he recognized you.

If he does, we'll kill him
and get more from Trustee Oh.

If he doesn't, we'll just turn
him over to Lee Sun-woo.

Are you sure
he didn't recognize you?

He didn't seem to...

Anyway, I guess Lee Sun-woo
is not coming today.

Something must've come up.

What could be more important
than finding his brother?

Kang-ho.

Did you have
another nightmare?

You're talking so
much in your sleep.

And all that cold sweat.

I'll bring a towel.

Young-ji.

Wait.

Stay here with me.

Did something happen?

No...

I ran into someone...

I don't even know him.

I have no memories of him.

He seemed familiar.

But he frightened me.

So much that I could
hardly breathe.

Everything will be fine now.

I'll stay by your side,

so don't worry and
just get some rest.

You've just been
working too hard.

Just take the day off tomorrow.

And just rest at home, okay?

It feels so warm.

Is this what a mom's
bosom feels like?

Dr. Kang Seok-hoon told me.

Why aren't you
receiving radiation?

Sun-woo.

I was ready to give up treatment.

What do you mean?

I didn't want to go
through that hell again.

Sun-woo.

But I feel different now, Mom.

I really want to live now.

I will live.

That's right.

You're my son.

I'll get better...

And I'll enjoy everything
I couldn't before.

As the Director
Lee Jong-min's son...

As the oldest child...

As the Director of
Neurosurgery Center...

And as a certain
woman's man...

I'll enjoy all of
my prerogatives.

Yes, you do that.

Enjoy all those things
you couldn't before.

Good morning, Dad.

Did you sleep well?

You don't have to try so hard.

You can't ever get up again.

Posttraumatic stress disorder?

Yes, everything ranging
from a natural disaster

to an accident
can be the cause.

The attempt on Mr. Oh’s life
must've set it off.

And the amnesia could be
a defense mechanism.

So what will happen
to my cousin?

Treatment won't be so easy.

If this continues he may
fall into depression

and have a hard time
adjusting to society.

This next track was written by
the songwriter Kim Seo-yeon.

And she sang
this song herself.

It contains words of
a heartbreaking romance.

Here's "Tomorrow."

And I told him to
take the day off.

-You're here.
-I told you to take the day off.

But I have to make money.

Have a seat for a second.

-Try it.
-What is it?

I added some shepherd's purse
in the potato dumpling soup.

Have some.

Isn't it good?

It is.

So should I put it
on the menu?

Sure.

Okay.

Thank you for calling.

What would you like?

One order of chicken,
two orders of dumpling soup.

And what else?

What do you think?

Isn't that your brother
Lee Cho-in?

How's his memory?

Does he think that
he's Oh Kang-ho?

Yes,

but he seems to have
regained some memory.

It's a little iffy.

So do you want
to take him back now?

Let me confirm it
myself and call you.

Have you confirmed
that he's him?

Mr. Choe Bok-geun.

You want the money,
don't you?

Well, I finished the job
after all, so...

Then go finish up what you
were paid to do in China.

Pardon?

What do you mean...

I'm saying...

Take care of Cho-in's corpse first.

Lee Cho-in, you should've
never returned from China.

This woman...

Who is she...

Who was she?

So did Lee Sun-woo just
tell us to kill his brother?

Will you really kill him?

Killing him is easy enough.

DUMPLING HOUSE
OPEN EVENINGS

Too easy.

Let's go, Man-ho.

I'm back!

Young-ji!

Kang-ho, close up
and go home.

Let's call it a night.

Young-ji, you've already
had three bottles.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

This is nothing compared
to the North Korean stuff.

Something happened,
so talk to me.

What happened?

Feel free to tell me.

Jin-ho.

Go on.

There was something
I really wanted.

And then one day...

it just fell from the sky,
right into my lap.

From the sky?

Yes.

It was like a miracle.

Then is it okay
for me to keep it?

Did it not belong to anyone?

Well, it did
belong to someone.

Then you have to return it.

Right?

I have to return it.

No matter how much
I wanted it.

Yes, after all we went
through a lot to get here.

We can't do bad things.

If it's not yours, you
must return it, right?

It's late, your cousin
must be waiting.

I'll clean up here,
so get ready.

I'll see you off.

I know...

I know it too well myself.

But I didn't want anything
to happen to him...

That's why we ran
away together.

No...

It's all a lie.

I just wanted to
keep him to myself.

I just wanted to
hide him for myself.

I wanted him all to myself.

I have nothing in
this lonely world...

I just wanted to have
someone to lean on.

I just wanted to stay by
Mr. Lee Cho-in's side.

You're up already?

I didn't think you'd be up
after drinking so much.

I hardly drank.

What are you doing?

We're going on a picnic.

What about work?

You can't just work.

You have to play, too.

Get ready, Kang-ho.

Okay, but can we stop by
for my fish delivery?

Sure.

Sir, I brought the fish!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

Wake up!

Sir!

Acute myocardial infarction.

You should help him get on
the path to his memory.

If that path is closed, his posttraumatic
stress disorder may worsen.

Why aren't you
treating him?

You can't just watch
as a man is dying.

Call an ambulance.

I'm calling from a seafood
restaurant in Dae-cheong Lake.

Put me on the phone.

Hello? Is percutaneous coronary
intervention possible?

Then take him somewhere
with thrombolytic therapy.

-What's the status?
-Myocardial infarction.

He has high blood
pressure and diabetes.

This gentleman
helped at the scene.

-Have this kid looked at.
-What's wrong with him?

I think it's a case of pan-peritonitis.

This patient couldn't
breathe on his own, right?

-What is it?
-Myocardial infarction, we suspect.

Do a blood test
and prepare for a PCI.

Yes, Dr. Kim.

Lee Cho-in?

Lee Cho-in!

Big brother!

Hello?

Excuse me...

But would you
happen to know me?

My name is Lee Cho-in.

Would you happen
to know me?

I'm Lee Cho-in.
