Cain and Abel (2009): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript

EPISODE 12

Her name is Miss Kim Seo-yeon.

And she cried more than anyone
when she heard you died.

Kim Seo-yeon...

Mr. Lee!

What happened to these two?

Call someone!

Mr. Lee...

Are you all right?

Help me get up.

Let's go to the car.



Are you okay?

Thanks to you,
the seizure went away.

Thank goodness.

I'm fine, so go see
Oh Young-ji.

Are you sure you're okay?

Want me to go with you?

No, I'll go.

Call me if anything's up.

Get some rest.

This is Lee Sun-woo,
have you checked?

Dr. Lee.

As you just saw, we aren't
in the clear either.

Your impatience will force us
to keep a low profile for a while.

So you haven't checked yet?



Police are investigating
the hit-and-run.

And you want me to check
if Lee Cho-in is dead?

If we're found out,
you'd be in trouble, too.

Okay, I'll find out myself.

The customer you're calling
is unavailable...

Young-ji, is something up?

Can you please call me
when you get this?

Emergency Room.

Weren't two car accident victims
admitted about four hours ago?

How are they doing?

Are you a family member?

Yes.

Miss Oh Young-ji and Mr. Oh Kang-ho

had their CT scans and a few lab tests.

They're both unconscious as of now.

It's not serious?

We'll have to see, but it must
have been a minor accident.

I see, thank you.

EMERGENCY ROOM
ENTRANCE

There's always potassium
chloride in the ER.

When it's directly
injected into the veins,

it'll cause heart failure
within five minutes.

Unless a blood test is conducted,

the cause of death will be
listed as heart failure.

Lee Cho-in.

Die as Oh Kang-ho,
a North Korean defector.

OH YOUNG-JI

OH KANG-HO

MOM

-Hi, Mom.
-Sun-woo, Cho-in is back.

What?

He's come back from
the dead in one piece.

Sun-woo...

I'll be right there.

Didn't we have
a funeral for him?

PERSONNEL ANNOUNCEMENTS
DR. JO HYUN-TAIG

DR. KIM HYUN-JU
TO BOSUNG IN CHEONG-JU

AS OF MARCH 2, 2009

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT

NEUROSURGERY CENTER
MARCH 14, 2009

What do you mean
Cho-in has appeared?

I don't know what's
going on either.

How can a dead person...

Excuse me...

By any chance...

You wouldn't be
Dr. Lee Cho-in?

Jin-geun!

How have you been?

Cho-in...

Cho-in, you were alive!

I don't hug men!

But you were dead, buddy!

What happened?

It's been 6 months...

What happened?

Dr. Kim.

Isn't today the
14th of November?

November 14th, 2008, right?

What's that on
the bulletin board?

What do you mean?

You disappeared for six months.

Mr. Oh,
what's going on?

I'm wondering the same thing.

Hello, Vice-Director.

I just saw him.

I'll be right up.

She wants to see us.

Mr. Choe, finish up the job.

It must be wrapped up
in Cheong-ju.

Something came up at
our affiliate in Cheong-ju.

I'm sorry, but I'll see you in Seoul.

Sun-woo.

Now that Cho-in is back,

the Neurosurgery Center
is done, right?

No way.

The Director may be a vegetable,
but as long as he's alive,

Cho-in won't give up on
the Emergency Medical Center.

This might turn into
a war between brothers.

Okay, I concede that
you've come back alive.

But how much do you remember?

Lee Cho-in, just how much...

Lee Sun-woo!

Sun-woo!

I missed you.

I missed you so much.

But...

What's happened to me?

What do you mean,
Lee Cho-in?

I just spoke to you
while I was in China,

and was almost kidnapped.

Then I woke up at the hospital
in Cheong-ju.

What?

I don't remember anything.

And I got so scared...

I just wanted to come here and see you.

But people are saying
I was gone for six months.

What are they talking about?

Explain it to me.

Lee Cho-in.

Do you really...

...not remember anything?

Nothing at all?

I don't remember.

Lee Cho-in.

My little brother...

I missed you so much.

To try to find you...

I roamed all over
China for two months.

I even made flyers.

To find any trace of you...

You're healthy, aren't you?

You're okay?

I'm fine.

My little brother...

Let me take a look at you.

You are my little brother
Cho-in, aren't you?

Don't you worry
about anything now.

You're here.

Big Brother!

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

Miss, are you all right?

Mr. Lee...

Where's Mr. Lee Cho-in?

Why don't I see him?

There's no patient
by that name.

I mean the man who was
in the accident with me.

Mr. Oh Kang-ho, you mean?

Yes, Mr. Oh Kang-ho.

Where is he?

He's disappeared.

Did someone take him?

Did a young
woman take him?

There were no visitors.

So where did
Mr. Lee Cho-in go?

Miss, you need to sit down.

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

MR. OH KANG-HO

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

FROM MISS KIM SEO-YEON

I CAME TO CHEONG-JU BUT
WE MISSED EACH OTHER.

Mr. Lee Cho-in!

Where have you gone?

Mr. Lee Cho-in!

Have you eaten yet?

Jin-ho.

What's wrong?

He's disappeared...

Who?

That Oh Kang-ho
knucklehead?

Jin-ho.

Yes?

I'm going to Seoul.

What?

I have to go see
if he's safe.

I'm leaving.

Young-ji.

Are you sure
he's Lee Cho-in?

Positive, ma'am.

How is it that a dead man
has come back, Mr. Oh?

How is this possible?

I'm sorry.

I confirmed it
with my own eyes.

But something must
have gone awry.

Is that supposed
to be an excuse?

Anyway, the foundation
of Neurosurgery Center

has been decided.

So Cho-in being alive
shouldn't be a problem...

Have you forgotten he has
the ownership of rights

to any additional
medical center?

You're right.

The ownership of rights to
any additional center will now

go back to Cho-in again.

If Cho-in insists on
exercising those rights,

the Neurosurgery Center
will go down.

I'll take care of this.

What?

Going to use
the same method again?

Everyone at the hospital
knows that Cho-in is alive.

And you want to kill him?

People will be suspicious as it is

because we had that funeral.

And you want to
make more trouble?

I want to hear some options.

Find some options!

Dad.

Look who's here.

It's Cho-in.

The son you love is back.

Dad.

Dad.

Are you okay?

Are you okay, Dad?

Sun-woo.

What's happened to Dad?

Has he had surgery?

Yes.

He has.

I told you not to do that
while I was in China.

That your surgery
technique was too risky.

So why did you do it?

I told you to wait.

To look for another way!

Then should I have
just waited for you?

Sun-woo.

Even though you were
presumed dead

for six months?

Are you saying Dad should have been
on the brink of death

before we did anything about it?

Come on now.

Lee Cho-in.

The father you love also
happens to be my father.

You told me Jeffrey's patient
never regained consciousness.

At least, our dad
regained consciousness.

He was unconscious
when you were here.

So you did your best.

It was the best you could do?

Yes.

It was.

Look.

Had he remained unconscious,

he wouldn't be shedding
tears of joy.

Dad would have approved
of my surgery as well.

What's Cho-in doing?

He's with dad.

Dr. Lee.

I mean, Director Lee.

We were discussing the future
of the Neurosurgery Center.

Now that Lee Cho-in has
come back from the dead,

the ownership that went to
my parents go back to him?

Yes, and the center
may never get built.

I'm sorry things
had to come to this.

All you have to do is
file for an injunction.

And then to file for a legal motion
claiming half of the rights?

Yes, so you don't have to
worry about that for now.

But there's a more
urgent matter.

What is that?

Lee Cho-in is displaying
symptoms of amnesia.

Amnesia?

He says he's lost
six months of memory.

From when he was kidnapped
till when he woke up today.

No...

Are you saying that he could
be faking the amnesia?

He was nearly killed
in the desert.

It's only natural for
him to be suspicious.

So he's faking amnesia
in order to find out

who tried to kill him?

That's the question.

We must find out
if the amnesia is real,

in order to figure out
what he's thinking.

You have something in mind?

We're running
every test there is.

We should find out
by tomorrow.

PATIENT NAME:
LEE JONG-MIN

PRIMARY DOCTOR
LEE SUN-WOO

You'll see how accurate
my surgery technique is.

Go to China.

What is it that you want?

Money?

But I have to go back to Korea.

For my dad's surgery!

So let me go!

Sun-woo!

Dad, tell me it's not true.

Did you end up this way because they
wanted the Neurosurgery Center

instead of the Emergency
Medical Center?

Was I shot in the desert
because of that?

I can't trust anyone
besides you, Dad.

Mother.

You scoundrel.

You disappeared and made
us go through your funeral.

And you don't even
come say hello?

I'm sorry.

Well, you're back and alive.

We'll talk later.

And you can't tell me you're
glad to see me alive, mother?

Do I have to take an EEG, too?

I've had nothing
but tests all day long.

X-rays, cardiogram,
blood test, MRIs...

Can't you give me a break?

You've come back after six months.

Aren't you curious?

Not at all.
Just thankful to be back.

Don't just think about yourself.

Okay.

But this is it, okay?

Sure.

This is just so serious.

Let's do this!

Start with what
you remember.

Yesterday, I was on my back

from China to Korea
for my father's surgery.

Then I was kidnapped.

That's when I lost
consciousness.

When I woke up, I was at
the hospital in Cheong-ju.

So you have no memories
of the six months that passed?

None whatsoever.

Who was the last person you
remember seeing in China?

I had my last conversation
with my tour guide.

What was this guide's name?

Oh Young-ji.

And what are your memories of her?

She was nice and cute.

Then you were kidnapped
and lost your memory?

Right.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Man, what a drag.

So what is your
professional opinion?

I believe that it is a case
of dissociative amnesia.

The X-rays and MRIs
show an old fracture.

But the amnesia can't
be attributed to that.

It seems more like
dissociative amnesia.

From the wounds in
his head and fingers,

I surmise that he's been
through some trauma.

And that can often result
in dissociative amnesia.

I'm Oh Kang-ho.

Oh Kang-chul's brother.

But he seems
disinterested in his past.

Is he trying to hide
something from the past?

Severe trauma can trigger

an unconscious
defense mechanism.

So being disinterested
in his past is entirely possible.

Thank you, gentlemen.

What do you think?

I'm not convinced yet.

What do you plan to do?

There may be a trump card

which can tell us
the whole truth.

You klutz,
how have you been?

Are you really Cho-in?

What are you doing here?

In China...

...in the desert...

You died...

Is this you?

Is it really you?

It is, you klutz.

It is you.

It is you, Cho-in.

How could this...

I came back late.

And I know you hate waiting.

I'll tell you everything.

In China...

I lost my memory.

I was kidnapped
or something...

Then I remember nothing.

What?

I can't believe it myself.

Sun-woo...

Don't worry.

Sun-woo knows that I'm back.

So don't worry.

Don't worry.

I'll call you later.

Okay then.

When did you
get into town?

So Cho-in's been diagnosed
with dissociative amnesia?

That's what the psychiatrists
seem to think.

Oh?

Are you onto something?

I had met Cho-in
earlier in Cheong-ju.

What?

He didn't remember
that he was Lee Cho-in.

And now he has
dissociative amnesia?

Maybe there was some psychological
trauma in the meantime.

Cho-in says he was
shot in the desert.

Shot?

Some people tried
to kill him in China.

And he was afraid to come back
without knowing who did it.

What in the world...

So who tried to kill Cho-in?

Someone who'd benefit
from his absence.

I'm not so sure if he really
has dissociative amnesia.

What are you implying?

That he's pretending to
have lost his memory?

Well...

So what do we do now?

Wait till Cho-in finds out
more on his own.

Kim Jin-geun, look after him.

Like I have any clout?

You're the only one
he can trust here.

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

Miss Oh Young-ji?

Aren't you Oh Young-ji?

Cho-in came home
safe thanks to you.

Thank you.

You came to see Cho-in?

-Can I see the list of patients?
-Here, sir.

Is Mr. Kim awake?

We did gastro lavage,
but his mental state isn't alert yet.

Do an EEG and get
the Internal Medicine down here.

Okay.

Cho-in.

Young-ji.

Mr. Lee...

When did you get to Korea?

So you really came to see me.

How have you been?
How's your stomach?

Yes...

Cho-in.

Guess who told us that you
might have been kidnapped?

Young-ji, of course.

Really?

How did you know
I was kidnapped?

Well...

Why does it matter as
long as you're home safe?

Let me buy lunch
to celebrate your reunion.

Okay. Let's go.

Young-ji, eat up.

Okay...

Young-ji, how's
your constipation?

Young-ji,
where's your home?

My home?

Well...

Sun-woo,
this isn't a census.

Young-ji, enjoy your meal.

Sure.

So what do you do in Korea?

Mister!

I'm doing all right...

I work as a guide to Chinese
and Japanese tourists.

And in the evenings,
I run a snack bar.

So you have two jobs.

Yes...

We might have a job
for you in the hospital.

Pardon?

You speak foreign languages.

We get many Korean-Chinese patients.

We could use someone like you.

Not a bad idea.
What do you think?

I know nothing about hospitals.

Give it a try.

With Sun-woo's recommendation,
you'd get paid a lot.

Tell him yes.

Time to say goodbye.

Yes.

Bye, Young-ji.

Goodbye.

And reconsider the job offer.

Bye.

Mr. Lee Cho-in, thank
goodness you're okay.

I apologize for second
guessing your brother.

I'm glad to see you in such good spirits.

Mr. Lee, you look great
in a doctor's gown.

Mr. Lee, I'm not
coming back to Seoul.

So forget everything that
happened in Cheong-ju.

So keep smiling and stay happy.

Young-ji, I'm sorry.

About having to send
you off like this.

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

Mr. Lee...

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

I'll take you anywhere you want.

Will you believe in me
and receive treatment?

Thank you.

For not loving someone else.

For loving me.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

MY HEART

MY HEART

Cho-in, it's me.

I was in such shock earlier,
I didn't even get to say much.

Thank you.

For coming back alive.

That's all I can think
of saying for now.

Bye.

I went to go see
your remains today.

I said my farewell.

But I feel as if I didn't
get to say everything.

Cho-in!

If I say your name a million times,
can you come back?

Just be alive, please.

Just be alive as Sun-woo was.

Can you go back for now?

I'm so confused.

Seo-yeon, it's not
something you can avoid.

When did you find out?

That he came back?

When you left me in
Cheong-ju yesterday?

Yes.

So why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want you to be disappointed
just in case it wasn't him.

I'm sorry I wasn't honest.

Was that the real reason?

Then why did you
just go back earlier?

I didn't want you
to feel pressured.

Cho-in was there for you during
the seven years I hurt you.

I felt he deserved you.

So you're just
going to back down?

I have no choice.

And how long will
you wait again?

With my favorite Dutch
coffee and music records?

And what if you get
really sick and die?

Are you stupid or something?

Why can't you just
ask me to stay?

You need me!

Yet you act with such
little confidence!

This is why I didn't tell you.

Just for being sick...

I didn't want your pity as
a man on borrowed time.

I didn't want to hold you
back, so I didn't tell you.

And what's so terrible about that?

You can hold onto me that way.

Yes, I, too...

I feel like getting on my knees
and begging you to stay.

But...

I...

I can't do that to you,
Seo-yeon.

What?

You were always sick.

Your mother passed away.

Your father remarried
and went to Germany.

You were left all alone
in this world.

And for me to leave
you behind, too...

I'd feel so terrible.

Lee Sun-woo, don't go!
Don't go.

Not because you need me...

But because I need you.

Cho-in helped me endure
the past seven years.

But you're the one
who helped me live.

So don't go.

Let's stay together.

Whether it be two or twenty years...

Let's stay together.

Don't say anything else...

Just tell me that you love me.

That you want to stay together.

I love you.

Kim Seo-yeon.

I love you...
