Cain and Abel (2009): Season 1, Episode 18 - Episode #1.18 - full transcript

Young-ji, you've been
worried about me, right?

Everything will
be over tomorrow.

Then... would you like to
have a family with me?

Vice-Director Nah Hae-ju,

just as you,
who I've wanted to call

mother for 30 years,
killed my parents,

Lee Sun-woo tried
to kill me, too.

Yes, I did it.
I killed your parents.

But Sun-woo didn't
do anything wrong.

Don't hold him
responsible for my sins!

Ask your son yourself.



Lee Cho-in,
are you crazy?!

Sun-woo...

What is family?

Why is Lee Cho-in
still alive?

What is family?

A painful death...

Let him die in agony.

EPISODE 18

Out of 14 members of
the board of directors,

excluding Mr. Oh,
who's been out of touch,

ten will be attending
the meeting.

And we brought the attorney
and the planning director

over to our side again
by offering them shares

in the venture company linked
to the Neurosurgery Center.



And with Mr. Yoon Hyung-seok,
who took Dr. Cho Hyun-tek's place,

our director Lee Sun-woo,
and myself

we'll have five votes total.

What shall we do about
the rest of the votes?

I'll take care of the rest.

Mr. Oh.

I've been trying to get
in touch with you.

Why haven't you
return my calls?

The vice-director bought
our company stocks.

Really?
Then you should buy my--

-Shall we go?
-Yes, let's go.

We're at Cheonggyecheon.

Cheonggyecheon was a stream

that flowed through
center of Seoul.

You can take pictures here.

Lee Cho-in,
this is your last chance.

Nobody will get hurt

if you give up on the
Emergency Medical Center.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

Reveal the truth
at the meeting.

That still won't earn
you forgiveness,

but I'll take it
into consideration.

You'll regret what
you just said

before the meeting is over.

THE 5TH REGULAR
BOARD MEETING

We'll now begin

the fifth regular meeting
of the board of directors.

Mr. Lee Cho-in has
asserted his ownership

of the lot previously designated
for the Neurosurgery Center.

Therefore, the construction
of the Neurosurgery Center

will be put on hold,
and the use of the land

will be put to vote again today.

Oh Kang-ho,
Young-ji became prettier

since she came to Seoul.

Young-ji.

Today's Cheonggyecheon is
where people and nature

come together in harmony.

Mr. Lee Cho-in, would you share
with us your vision

for the new Emergency
Medical Center?

It seems Mr. Lee Cho-in has
an urgent personal matter to attend to.

Gentlemen, could you
give him a moment?

Hello?

Oh Kang-ho,
long time no see.

Choi Chi-soo.

You and I have some
unresolved business.

What do you want?

Come here.
I'm with Oh Young-ji.

We can talk
when we meet.

Choi Chi-soo.

Choi Chi-soo!

Dr. Lee Cho-in, shall we continue
with the meeting now?

Lee Sun-woo...

you didn't do this,
did you?

I told you.

If you give up on the
Emergency Medical Center,

nobody will get hurt.

I can't give it up.

Then will you give up...

Oh Young-ji instead?

No.

I can never give up on both.

Dr. Lee Cho-in, would you
like to say something?

The Emergency Medical
Center has to be built

on the land I received
from the director.

That plan will never change.

Let's begin the vote.

THE 5TH REGULAR
BOARD MEETING

-Who are you?
-We're the police.

Is Mr. Lee Cho-in here?

Mr. Lee Cho-in?

You know Choe Bok-geun,
don't you?

You're under arrest
for the murder

of Choe Bok-geun
and Yang Man-ho.

Lee Cho-in, you have the
right to remain silent.

You have the right
to have an attorney

Anything you say can and will
be used in the court of law.

Look!
What's all this about?

You're arresting Dr. Lee Cho-in
for murder?

Aren't you mistaken?

Isn't he Dr. Lee Cho-in
of the Bosung Medical Center?

Show us proof.

On what grounds are
you arresting him?

He made a call to 911 on
the day of the murder

from the site the
murders took place.

And we have a testimony
from the cab driver

who picked him up
at the factory

and drove him to
the hospital.

Is that enough?

Nonsense.

You mean,
Dr. Lee Cho-in...

is a murderer?

They say you never
who a man is.

I thought he was a good man.

-He almost had us fooled.
-Let's go.

Wait.

Wait.

Give me a few minutes
with my brother.

You don't think I'll tell the police
what you did

if I'm taken away now?

And if you do?
Who will believe you?

Didn't you kill
Choe Bok-geun,

the only man who could prove
you're telling the truth?

What?

And...

Oh Young-ji is
still in my grasp.

Lee Sun-woo,
this isn't the end.

You just wait.

That's also what I want.

Because I... want... to kill you.

Don't worry.

I'll hire the best lawyer
in the country for you.

Let's go.

Mr. Lee Cho-in, we need
to take your phone away.

It's evidence.

Come here.
I'm with Oh Young-ji.

We can talk
when we meet.

This is most unfortunate.

I am most ashamed as
his mother and acting director.

But given the importance
of the agenda at hand,

let's put it to the vote
and make a decision today.

Yes.

Mr. Oh, what's
going on now?

Just wait.

I need to assess
the situation first.

Vice-Director.

Is this vote that
important now?

We can vote after
we save Mr. Lee Cho-in--

Dr. Kim Hyun-ju,
Lee Cho-in is my son.

I'm the one who's hurting
the most right now.

Do you know how much
we pay in interest every day,

every time we
postpone our decision?

And what about our image?

Let's not lose the sight
of more important things

because of our personal feelings.
Let's begin.

Shall we begin
the vote now?

May I say a few words
before we do?

I'd like to answer a few
questions you might have

about the Neurosurgery Center,
which will lead

the Bosung Medical Center
into the future.

Will that be all right?

-What's going on?
-That's Doctor Lee Cho-in.

Wait.

Can I use the
restroom first?

Nothing like this has
ever happened to me,

and I'm a bit nervous.

We're at the Changgyeong Palace.

Follow me.

You can take pictures here.

Your call will be
forwarded to voicemail...

Could you take a picture for us?

Of course.

One, two, three. Smile!

-Thank you.
-My pleasure.

-One more, please.
-Sure.

One, two, three.
Say cheese!

Mr. Lee, are you done?

Mr. Lee Cho-in.

Mr. Lee Cho-in.

Mr. Lee?

What the hell?

Maybe he swallowed
something.

He's not breathing.

He received surgery
for chordoma

and an aneurysm rupture,
just as Director Lee did.

We successfully removed
the tumor

and the patient has recovered
his motor and sensory skills.

At the last case conference,

I was questioned about my ability
as Director of Neurosurgery Center.

Can you still question it

after you see the result
of this surgery?

Dr. Lee Sun-woo,
the issue raised

by Dr. Lee Cho-in
at the case conference was

that you risked a patient's life
to promote the hospital.

Dr. Kim, do you
think the hospital

could force a patient to agree
to something like that?

The patient, Ms. Choe Yu-rah,
agreed to it.

And she saved
her precious life.

You can't deny that,
can you?

Shall we begin the vote now?

Kim Jin-geun, you know
I'm in the meeting.

I'm at the ER now.

Cho-in's in here
for asphyxiation.

The police are here, too.
Come quick.

What, Cho-in is--?

All right.

May I cast my vote
when I come back?

Sure.

Oh, God. Hurry.

What's going on here?
What's with the police?

Get out of the way.

-How's his condition?
-He has something

blocking the airway.

-What does he have in there?
-What did you do to him?

-Dr. Kim.
-Yes?

Would you please
clear the area?

All right.
Excuse me.

"Dr. Kim, I'm innocent.

I need to get out of here
to prove my innocence.

Young-ji's in danger.
I need your help."

Laryngoscope and long forceps.

Nurse, you trust me,
don't you?

Yes.

He's in a bad shape.

Book an OR.
It's lodged deep inside.

-We can only get it out with surgery.
-Yes, Doctor.

Detectives, will you
take his handcuffs off?

We need to go into
emergency surgery.

-We really can't...
-Are you going to let him die?

You want me to testify
that you killed a suspect

while taking him
into custody?

Hurry up.

He's dying.

-Get an OR now! The keys!
-Yes, Doctor.

Hurry. Move him.

You called Surgery, right?

Get the door.

You can't come in.

Not here!

This room.

I don't know what
we're doing.

Cho-in, we're safe.

What's going on?

I'll tell you later.

Here.
Go change.

Jin-geun.

What now?

We'll start the voting now.

Members of the board,
kindly make your voices heard.

Mr. Oh, what are
you going to do?

We should go with
the majority, right?

But what if Lee Cho-in
tells the police

we're the ones who
ordered his kidnapping?

This is a mess.

How's the suspect's condition?

We don't know.

The thoracic surgeons
are doing the surgery.

How long will it take?

Who knows? They'll know
once they open him up.

Thank you for your service--

Please excuse me,
could you clear the way?

Detective, do you get
regular check-ups?

You don't look too well.
A bit of jaundice--

I'm sorry, but I have to go
back to the board meeting.

You shouldn’t skip
regular check-ups

while you’re still healthy.

See you.

Cho-in, be careful.

Dr. Kim.

You should go back
to the meeting.

Okay.
I'll be back.

I'm not too late, am I?

Of course not.
Please vote.

Dr. Kim, what
happened to Cho-in?

Is there a problem?

He went into surgery
to have a foreign body

blocking his airway removed,
but he disappeared.

Mr. Oh, Dr. Bang,
Dr. Lee Cho-in sends his regards.

Emergency Medical Center.

Emergency Medical Center.

NEUROSURGERY 4
EMERGENCY 3

Emergency Medical Center.

NEUROSURGERY 4
EMERGENCY 5

Emergency Medical Center.

Four votes for the
Neurosurgery Center

and six votes for the
Emergency Medical Center.

It's been decided the Emergency
Medical Center will be built.

Choi Chi-soo,
answer the phone.

Comrade Oh Young-ji,
it's been a long time.

Young-ji, please pick up.
Come on!

Dr. Lee Cho-in.

Where are you?
Where are you now?

Me?

Yes.
I'm coming to pick you up now.

Dr. Lee, don't come.

What are you saying?

You can't come here.
Don't come.

Young-ji!

Young-ji, what's wrong?

Young-ji.

Young-ji?

Young-ji!

Oh Kang-ho.

Oh Young-ji must
like you a lot.

Choi Chi-soo.

Come here now if you want
to save Oh Young-ji's life.

You know you have to
come alone, right?

Where are you?

All right.
I'm coming now.

Who was it?

Who betrayed us?

How could we lose by two votes
when Lee Cho-in wasn't even there.

Mr. Oh, was it you?

Mr. Oh In-geun,
why did you betray us

when we bought the stocks
as you asked?

You should ask
Lee Sun-woo why.

What?
What are you saying?

Didn't you know
he used the men we hired

to kidnap Lee Cho-in in China
and tried to kill me.

-What?
-Thanks for buying my stocks,

but I'll accept it

as your apology for
Lee Sun-woo trying to kill me.

Then...

who's the other person?

I'm sorry, Vice-Director.

Dr. Bang...

since when...

When you sent me
away to Cheong-ju,

Mr. Lee Cho-in promised
to bring me back.

Please excuse me.

Those jerks...

Jerks!

I heard we won.

-Congratulations.
-Yes, thanks.

You'll be the director of the
Emergency Medical Center now.

-Congratulations.
-That's enough.

You want to do that now

when Cho-in's been
accused of murder?

I'm just happy.

So?
You have Oh Young-ji now?

That anesthetic you gave me
works wonders.

I barely touched her with it,
but she's out cold.

What about Lee Cho-in?

Did you lure him to
the place I told you to?

Of course.

You can't make a mistake.

Don't worry.

I'll call you
once I get rid of Lee Cho-in,

-that son of a...
-No.

Lee Cho-in taking
his last breath...

I'm going to see
that for myself.

Sun-woo...

they've decided on the
Emergency Medical Center.

What do we do?

Mother...

the Emergency Medical Center
will never be built.

What do you mean?

Because the man
who'll be in charge of the center...

will never come back.

Sun-woo!

Mother...

no matter...

what I do...

you'll still love me,
won't you?

Yes.

I love you, my son.

I love you.

That's all I need.

I love you too, Mother.

CALL HISTORY

CALLING

Choi Chi-soo.

-Choi Chi-soo.
-Oh Kang-ho.

No, I mean, Dr. Lee Cho-in.

Choi Chi-soo,
did you kill Choe Bok-geun?

Yes, I slashed their
throats with this knife.

CALL TIME
02:57

Oh Kang-ho, there's no need
for words between us.

You should go join
Kang-chul now.

Oh Kang-ho, you must know,

since you're a famous doctor
in South Korea,

that you'll be dead
in two minutes

if I slash your throat
with this thing.

Here, I'll send
you away now.

Dr. Lee.

No, Dr. Lee!

Young-ji, don't look.

No, Dr. Lee!

Young-ji, don't stop me.

I love you!

I love you, Dr. Lee.

Did you already forget
the Lee Cho-in I love?

I don’t want to see...

the man I love
ruining his life.

Dr. Lee...

didn't you...

didn't you ask me
to be your family?

I don't ever want to
lose my family again.

Choi Chi-soo!

Don't move.

Oh Kang-ho.
I mean, Mr. Lee Cho-in,

we recorded Choi Chi-soo's
testimony through your phone,

so you'll be cleared
of the murder charges.

Oh Kang-ho!
You son of a...!

I'll kill you!

Young-ji...

I still have things to do.

Will you wait for
me a little longer?

Go on first and
wait for me.

You trust me, don't you?

Yes.

I trust you, Dr. Lee.

Let me go!

SUN-WOO

Your call will be
forwarded to voicemail...

Pick up, Choi Chi-soo.

LEE CHO-IN

Choi Chi-soo isn't here.

Lee Cho-in.

Where are you?

I'll be waiting.

Seo-yeon, I abandoned Cho-in.

Because if I didn't...

I couldn't have you

what little time
I have left.

It was so difficult...

for the past seven years...

being alone.

-Sun-woo.
-Don't come!

Seo-yeon...

Don't look at me.

Please don't look at me.

Because I knew
my recurrence of the tumor

cannot be treated
this time...

I thought I'd be okay
if I could spend

the rest of my life with you.

LEE SUN-WOO

Don't turn on the light,
Lee Sun-woo.

I'll want to kill you
if I see your face.

Why did you
try to kill me?

Since when?

I doubt it was from
when we were little.

You were the first person
who held my hand

when I was in the incubator.

Cho-in, I'm your brother.
Your big brother.

Yes, I did.

Because you were just a pathetic
little monkey back then.

Yes.

So when did it begin?

Probably not when you
came back from the States.

Sun-woo!

Lee Cho-in.

Because you were still
the same Lee Sun-woo

I knew from long ago,
right?

That's right.

Because until then,
you were a docile little brother.

Then the reason
you tried to kill me was...

only because of
the Neurosurgery Center?

Did you just say
"only because?"

It may not mean much to you,
who monopolize all of dad's love,

but it was important to me.

Lee Cho-in, I wanted
dad's acceptance.

I wanted to become
a cardiac surgeon

to fix the heart
of the woman I love.

But I gave that up and
transferred to Neurosurgery.

I spent all my days and nights
in operating rooms

for the past seven years
because I wanted to follow

in dad's footsteps...

and become the most
respected neurosurgeon.

But dad never
acknowledged me.

He didn't even
give me a chance.

That's...

a good enough
reason to kill me?

Even so...

how could a man kill
his younger brother?

When I came back
from the States,

I thought dad would
accept me for once...

and build me
the Neurosurgery Center.

But the only thing that
was waiting for me

was a piece of paper that made
you the owner of the property.

Dad...

He didn’t choose me,
his biological son,

but you, Lee Cho-in.

And...

I wanted to get
Seo-yeon back.

She was my woman
from the beginning.

Lee Cho-in...

you know what?

The things I can't have
no matter how hard I try...

they come so easily to you.

That's why...

so you could take dad and
Seo-yeon away from me...

you along with mother and Mr. Oh,
sent me to China?

-Mother wasn't part of it!
-Don't lie, Lee Sun-woo!

You think you can
cover up her sins

when she killed my parents
and left our dad to die?

Do you really?

You remember?

When we were little...

when I used to go
around smiling...

Mother would scold me

and ask what I had to smile about.

But I had no reason
to smile back then.

I thought if I always smiled...

Mother would see my smile...

and hug me at least once.

But she didn't hug me
even once.

Never.

She didn't even let me
call her mother.

I got over it.

Me, who was never held
by my own mother.

Even I got over it!

Maybe Mother could've
forsaken me...

but you, Sun-woo,

should not have.

Because you were...

the brother I loved
the most in the world.

You were my idol!

You were like
a religion to me!

Lee Sun-woo,
my big brother...

just say you're sorry.

Just tell me
you were wrong.

Then we can turn
everything around.

Because I always wanted
to be Lee Sun-woo's brother,

Lee Jong-min's child
and Nah Hae-ju's son.

Sun-woo...

just say...

"Cho-in, my little brother,
I'm sorry."

Just those simple words...

please.

Please!

No.

I can't say it.

Because my brother Lee Cho-in
already died in China.

Then...

I too...

will have to erase
my brother...

my one and only brother.

Lee Cho-in,

if I could be
forgiven by doing so,

I could say those words
a hundred, a thousand times.

But it's too late...
for that.

I'm sorry,
my little brother.

I'm really so sorry.

LEE SUN-WOO

Kim Seo-yeon.

I... just finished...

talking with Cho-in.

By tomorrow, I'll have become
the most despicable man...

who tried to kill his
younger brother,

stole his brother's hospital,

and coveted
his brother's woman.

Then people will...

cast stones...

and lash out at me.

Kim Seo-yeon,

but my love
for you was sincere.

I'm sorry I hurt you

because I didn't know
how to love properly.

But meeting you...

and loving you...

and the times
I spent missing you...

were the happiest
memories of my life.

I'm sorry,
Kim Seo-yeon.

Where are you?

Let's meet now.

Lee Sun-woo, you fool!

You should have at least
someone on your side

before everybody turns
their back on you.

Where are you now?

Sun-woo.

Sun-woo!

Mr. Lee Jong-min, my greed
probably caused all this, right?

Will everything be able
to go back to their places

if I give up my life?

Will Cho-in forgive Sun-woo
if I give up my life?

There's no turning
back now, is there?

I can only be forgiven
with death, right?

Dr. Lee...

Dr. Lee...
are you all right?

Young-ji,
it's all over now.

It's all over,
but...

I thought I'd be happy
if everything was over.

But why does it
hurt so much?

Dr. Lee...

I don't know how it ended,
but if you're hurting...

the other person
must be hurting, too.

However, I hope you'll
get over this soon

and go back to being
your old self.

I liked you when you
were Oh Kang-ho,

but I like the Dr. Lee Cho-in
I met in China much better.

All right.

I'll go back to the
Lee Cho-in then.

Yes, you have to do that.

-It's the ER.
-What are you doing?

I thought patients
come first to you.

-I'll be back soon.
-Bye.

What do we have?
You have CT images?

Yes.
I need you to take a look.

I don't see any
fracture or hematoma,

but I see a mass in the
left frontal lobe.

Maybe it's a tumor.

-Take a couple more pictures.
-Yes, right away.

LEE SUN-WOO

Lee Sun-woo?

Cho-in.

Seo-yeon.

Is Sun-woo all right?

His tumor...
did it get worse?

Kim Seo-yeon, you knew?

Lee Cho-in...
you didn't know?

I told you.
I wrote in the letter.

I told you he was sick.
I asked you to fix him.
