Cain and Abel (2009): Season 1, Episode 19 - Episode #1.19 - full transcript
Has Sun-woo's tumor
gotten worse?
Lee Sun-woo...
Just say you're sorry.
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...
"Cho-in, my little brother,
I'm sorry."
Just those simple words...
Please...
No...
I can't say it.
Because my brother Lee Cho-in
already died in China.
EPISODE 19
Since when has Lee Sun-woo
had his tumor?
It's a recurrence.
What?
Seven years ago when he went to
the States and cut off contact,
that's when it
was discovered.
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
the Neurosurgery.
I’d gotten over with, I who
my mother never held once.
Even I’d gotten over it!
The things I can't have
no matter how hard I try...
They came so easy to you.
"I'm sorry,"
"my little brother."
Please!
Can we see the PACS?
Yes.
What are you doing?
Director...
Who ordered this?
Who ordered a CT
scan of my brain?
You were rushed to the ER,
and Dr. Lee Cho-in ordered it.
LEE SUN-WOO
Delete the data.
Pardon?
Delete the data
and don't start the PACS.
Didn't you hear me?
Delete it now.
Yes, sir...
Dr. Shin.
Don't tell anyone
about this.
Not Cho-in, not anyone.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Can we really delete this?
Won't we get in trouble?
You heard from
the man himself.
Cho-in.
Can't you treat Sun-woo?
Kim Seo-yeon...
you know exactly
what Sun-woo did to me.
So how can you
ask that of me?
But he's your
brother and family.
The brother you lived
with for over 30 years.
No, I don't have a brother.
Then you're just
going to let him die?
Cho-in, can you
really do that?
You think that I can't?
Sun-woo, are you okay?
Are you?
What about the CT scan?
Want to go take a look?
Kim Seo-yeon,
you should leave now.
Lee Sun-woo, I told you
not to do this to me.
Lee Sun-woo!
Lee Sun-woo!
No way...
Just in a few days...?
Dr. Lee Sun-woo told
me to delete it,
but due to hospital policy,
I saved it on the hard drive.
Lee Sun-woo.
Dad, have you known this?
Lee Sun-woo is ill.
With a straight face,
he tried to kill me.
And now he's sick.
He tried to kill
his own brother.
Then he should go on
living till the very end.
Young-ji, you're not
a bad person.
I'm so grateful to you.
Do you like it?
Dr. Lee...
Young-ji, what are
you doing?
I was doing a facial with the
cosmetics you bought me.
Bent on seeing our hospital
go down in ruins?
What do you mean?
Even without the facial,
all the male doctors
drool over you.
If you become even prettier,
what's going to happen?
Stop teasing.
What's this?
This?
A laptop.
Laptop?
I guess my dad didn't
like the last one.
He picked it up and
threw it on the floor.
Is he that much
better already?
Young-ji, you can be
such an airhead.
So cute.
Stop it.
Can you bring it
to my dad's room?
Thanks.
Don't worry.
I'll fill your father in
about this computer.
Wait.
Close your eyes.
Bye.
Let's go arm in arm.
Come on, all the
kids do it.
Who do we have here,
Lee Cho-in?
Hello, Director Kim Hyun-ju of
the Emergency Medical Center.
Dr. Lee Cho-in.
Sure, let's have a hug.
The cops told me
you've been cleared.
Congrats.
Thank you for
believing in me.
My arms are about
to fall off.
You've been through a lot.
Good job.
Have you been drinking?
How could I not?
The Emergency Medical
Center is settled,
and you're cleared of charge.
Why, do I reek?
We've got a long way
to go, Dr. Kim.
I mean, Director Kim.
Yes, so much to do and
a rough start, too.
Come on, it's all settled.
They haven't announced
the board's decision.
They'll try to get the
Neurosurgery Center going again.
The assistant director is holding
off on the announcement.
I'll take care of that.
Can you make a transition
committee for the center?
Sure, the director and I
had talked about that.
Okay, let's start
from there.
I'm counting on you.
See you later.
Take care.
Father, give it a try.
Isn't this one
easier to use?
You'll be able
to write faster.
Give it another go, sir.
OH YOUNG-JI
Father, you remember
my name?
Thank you so much.
Now try writing
what you want.
MISS OH YOUNG-JI...
...THE LETTER I'M WRITING...
Ma'am.
So what's this about
Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
As you may be aware,
Dr. Lee isn't in a good condition.
Sun-woo!
The linear accelerator...
...actually worsened things.
If we just leave him
in his state,
there's no telling
if he'll make it another
month or a week.
Then...
What's our option?
We must have
surgery immediately
and begin therapy.
Then can we save my son?
No, we can prevent the
situation from getting worse.
At best, he'll have
two more years.
We should do it...
If we want him to live even
another day, we should do it.
Yes.
Do whatever you have
to do to save Sun-woo.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
What brings you to my office?
Aren't you going to
offer me a seat?
Get to the point.
This is about the
Emergency Medical Center.
Please make the announcement
by the end of the day.
Is that an order?
How dare you
order me around?
Did that sound
like an order?
Then just follow it.
What?
And you should kick
Lee Sun-woo out.
Kick him out?
What do you mean!
You're going to let
a grade 4 brain tumor
patient perform surgery?
That's same as
attempted murder.
Trying to kill me
wasn't enough?
Actually Lee Sun-woo
might die first.
Lee Cho-in, are you
threatening me now?
Did it sound
threatening to you?
Fine, tomorrow...
No, do it now.
Office of the board
of trustees, please.
This is
Assistant Director Nah.
Please announce
the board's decision now.
I'll send the Emergency Medical
Center blueprint as well.
Satisfied?
No.
That's just a start.
Excuse me now.
Someone's waiting for you.
Dr. Bang.
What's this?
The Director of
Neurosurgery Center...
Well, now he's just
Dr. Lee Sun-woo.
It's a summon for Dr. Lee
from the ethics committee.
The ethics committee?
It's true!
The Emergency Medical
Center is now confirmed.
And Dr. Kim Hyun-ju is
the center's director.

ORGANIZATION CHART
A SUMMONS
ETHICS COMMITTEE
DR. LEE SUN-WOO
So the ethics committee is
conducting a witch hunt?
Ma'am, you shouldn't
react so emotionally.
What?
Since the case conference,
we aren't getting
many new patients.
And many current patients
are refusing treatment,
asking to be transferred.
Director Lee Jong-min's
cherished Neurosurgery
Department may be
at risk altogether.
And should the word of
Sun-woo's condition get out,
you'll be held
responsible for any
malpractice suits since you
kept his illness a secret.
Did Lee Cho-in ask
you to tell me this?
Did he tell you to do this?
I'm an executive here at
Bosung Medical Center.
I can conclude that much
on my own, ma'am.
Get out.
Get out of my sight now.
Well, have a nice day.
After all Sun-woo's been
through to get here...
Jerks!
Jerks...
Why aren't you
doing your rounds?
Sir, we want to continue to work
as Neurosurgeons at Bosung.
But we can't.
What are you talking about?
As you must be aware,
we aren't getting any patients.
Our interns want to
gain experience,
but there's no opportunity.
And even the Neurosurgery Center
has been scrapped.
I'm sorry, but you must
make a decision, sir.
Are you asking me
to resign
as the center's Director
and leave the hospital?
That alone will save
patients and...
Save patients?
You think you're qualified
to demand this from me?
You better have the
qualifications first.
Then I'll gladly listen.
It's a summons from the
ethics committee, sir.
A SUMMONS
ETHICS COMMITTEE
ATTENTION: DR. LEE SUN-WOO
COMPLAINANT: DR. LEE CHO-IN
DR. LEE SUN-WOO
WITH GRADE 4 TUMOR
CONCEALED ILLNESS
AND PERFORMS SURGERY
Lee Cho-in...
You're going to strip me
of my doctor's robe?
Because you disappeared,
we got so many complaints
from our Chinese guests.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Thank goodness Ms. Yang
came through.
It could've been a mess.
I really am sorry.
I'll let it slide since
it's your first time.
Get back to work.
Young-ji!
Congratulations.
What do you mean?
The board made its decision on
the Emergency Medical Center.
Emergency Medical Center?
The Emergency Medical Center
Dr. Lee Cho-in wanted.
Really?
So this is good
news for him?
I thought you knew it
more than anybody.
Young-ji.
Dr. Lee.
Let's go eat.
I heard about the good news,
is it true?
Yes, my dad's wish
is about to come true.
That's so wonderful!
And about your father...
Lee Cho-in!
Young-ji, give me
just a minute.
No, take your time.
It won't be long,
so just wait.
Lee Cho-in.
Trying to take away
my medical license?
You're not qualified
to be a doctor.
What?
The tumor in your brain
is 4.7cm big.
And you've been
performing surgeries?
That's my concern.
But it concerns
patients' lives.
What if you have a
seizure during surgery?
Do patients' lives mean
that little to you?
Actually, I bet they do.
That's why you can even
kill your own brother, right?
Don't you know
how important being
a neurosurgeon means to me?
Why don't you know that?
I'm doing this
because I know.
Why, you punk...
There's no strength
in your right hand.
Could it be flaccid paralysis?
You're not qualified
to be a doctor,
so take off that robe.
No, over my dead body.
I can't give up being a
doctor even if means my life.
Then stand proud before the
ethics committee and testify.
Young-ji.
Yes?
What should we eat?
So is this Emergency Medical Center
that important?
Isn't that
driving a wedge
between you and
Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
It's all over now,
so you don't have to worry.
But I'm still worried.
He's your one
and only brother.
I appreciate
the concern...
But let's just talk
about us, okay?
Sure...
And give me a little
affection, too.
Dr. Lee...
What's wrong?
You said you love me.
What?
That's what you
said last time.
Didn't you?
We didn't get a chance
to go out that night.
Want to go tonight?
Tonight?
Sure.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Dad.
I never wanted
to outdo you.
Not even for a moment.
I just wanted to
be like you...
I was just following
your footsteps.
If this, too,
is your intention...
I should follow it.
But, dad...
To be stripped of
my doctor's robe...
I won't stand for that.
I would rather die.
Dad...
Just a bit earlier...
If you'd held my hand
just a bit earlier...
Just a little bit...
Dad...
Dr. Lee, back where
I'm from,
nights were dark with all
the lights turned off.
But here,
the nights are pretty
with these bright lights.
Every one of those lights must've
been turned on by someone.
And those lights become
homes and families...
If we become a family,
will we be like those lights?
I wonder what your
family is like.
I bet they're
regular folks.
Who love and care
for each other.
I'll find out when
I meet them.
What do you mean?
I'm looking for information
on your parents.
We should get some
good news soon.
Dr. Lee.
Too early to be
touched yet.
You can't push me away
once I meet your family.
How could I ever
push you away?
Even if you asked me to,
I'd never let go of you.
Never.
Let me call.
Where's Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
Pardon?
I see.
Dr. Lee Sun-woo
isn't in today.
Dr. Lee Cho-in, Dr. Lee Sun-woo
is absent today.
Shall we go on?
No, we'll do it
when he's here.
Is that okay?
Thank you.
Please leave a message
after the beep.
Lee Sun-woo,
where are you?
Hiding like a coward?
But you were so
high and mighty.
Come on out.
You've got
nowhere to hide.
Hello.
Hi, Seo-yeon.
I haven't heard from
Sun-woo in three days,
so I was worried.
You haven't heard
from him either?
Then...
Ma'am.
Have you found Sun-woo?
The police just
found his vehicle.
Where?
In Gangwondo.
Gangwondo?
Perhaps at the
Belly Button House?
Belly Button House?
Your family's summerhouse.
It's located right in the
middle of the country.
So Sun-woo and Cho-in used to
call it the Belly Button House.
I'll go there and
then call you.
Would you?
Dr. Kang Seok-hoon.
How bad is
Dr. Lee Sun-woo's condition?
The linear accelerator
only worsened his condition.
Unless he has
surgery right away,
there's no telling how
long he has left.
You're going to strip
me of my doctor's robe?
I spent all my days and
nights in operating rooms
But dad never
acknowledged me.
He didn't even
give me a chance.
It may not mean much to you,
who hogged all of dad's love,
but it was important to me.
You were my brother,
I loved you the most in the world...
You were my idol!
You were like
a religion to me!
My brother Lee Cho-in
already died in China.
Lee Sun-woo, I still can't
forgive your sins.
Cho-in.
Cho-in, that's the
sound of my heartbeat.
Can you hear it?
Yes, I can.
Lee Cho-in, until my heart
stops beating, I'll protect you.
I'll protect you if anyone
picks on you or beats you up.
You'll never be alone.
I promise.
Do you remember?
When we were little, when I
used to go around smiling...
mother would chide
me and ask me
why I had so many
reasons to smile about.
But I had no reason
to smile back then.
Lee Sun-woo,
you were...
the brother I loved
the most in the world.
Sun-woo came back
after three years.
It felt like a dream.
We were so happy,
we hugged and cried.
Sun-woo, where are
you hiding?
I miss you.
Happy birthday,
my big brother.
Happy birthday to you.
I haven't seen
you in four years.
Come home soon!
I regret it...
Cho-in...
So much that I
feel like dying...
I regret it.
Why...
Sun-woo, where are you?
Can you come pick me up...?
Where are you?
Can you take me to Seoul...?
I'll be right there.
Sun-woo!
Sun-woo, it's okay.
Everything will be fine...
Sun-woo, can you hear me?
I'm right here.
Seo-yeon is right
here beside you.
Sun-woo,
it's been seven years
since my heart transplant.
You and Cho-in have
caused me so much grief.
I don't know how much
longer I can last.
I no longer want to live
with someone else's heart.
I'm tired of waiting
for the one I love.
So whether it be two months
or two years,
please get the treatment.
Wake up,
get on your knees and
ask Cho-in for forgiveness...
And we'll live together...
Okay?
You can hold my hand...
and take me for walks
like you used to.
Read to me like
you used to.
And you have to put me
in a wedding dress, too.
Get up and tell me
that you love me.
Okay?
Are you awake now?
I'm sorry...
For being this way...
I'm so sorry...
Lee Sun-woo...
Seo-yeon...
Can you take me to Seoul?
Can you take me to Cho-in?
Yes, let's go.
Let's go see Cho-in.
LEE CHO-IN
LEE CHO-IN, MY SON...
-Good morning.
-Hi.
Good morning.
Hi.
Sun-woo's not here yet?
Isn't that
Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
He disappeared after the
ethics committee summons.
Will he lose his
medical license?
Doesn't he look ill?
He really must
have a tumor.
Seo-yeon, can you let me
walk by myself from here?
Sure, be careful.
Cho-in.
What?
Are you afraid that
you might die?
So you threw away your
pride and showed up?
So you can live?
Yes, that's why I came.
Lee Cho-in, I want
you to do my surgery.
What?
You decide whether
I live or die.
Why should I?
You’re going to die anyway.
So why should I save you?
Whether I live or die,
I want it to be at your hands.
Lee Cho-in,
do the surgery.
I won't.
And I'll watch you
slowly wasting away,
painfully regretting
what you did.
Jin-geun.
Yes?
Think Cho-in will do
Sun-woo's surgery?
He has no choice
but to do it.
It's his brother.
That's what worries me.
These days, Cho-in
couldn’t care less
even if Sun-woo
were to die.
Well, you do have
a point...
Is that true?
Dr. Lee Cho-in refused to do
Dr. Lee Sun-woo's surgery?
Everyone at the
hospital has heard.
I didn't think Dr. Lee Cho-in
could be so callous.
Want some help?
No, I got it.
Okay then.
NEUROSURGERY CENTER
DIRECTOR LEE SUN-WOO
This meant
everything to me...
Sun-woo!
Sun-woo!
Somebody help!
Sun-woo...
How long has he
been like this?
Just happened suddenly
five minutes ago.
Do an emergency CT scan
and get ready for surgery.
Cho-in...
Dr. Lee, remain still.
Lee Cho-in...
Sun-woo!
Move him to the
operating room.
If we just leave
him in this state,
there's no telling if he'll make
it another month or a week.
How can someone kill
his younger brother!
When I came back
from the States,
I thought dad would 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 land.
He didn’t choose me,
but you, Lee Cho-in.
Whether I live or die,
I want it to be at your hands.
Lee Cho-in,
do the surgery.
Dr. Lee Cho-in!
Cho-in, where are you?
I'm looking at the CT scan,
it's a brain hemorrhage.
But the bigger problem is the
increasing cranial pressure.
If he doesn't go
into surgery,
there's no telling
what may happen.
Cho-in, are you listening?
Dr. Lee Cho-in!
Lee Sun-woo...
Just die.
We have to stop
the hemorrhaging
and remove the tumor!
Where's Cho-in?
Sun-woo refused to have the
surgery unless Cho-in did it.
Call him again.
But you were
just in there.
Is that how you
think of me, too?
As a jerk who won't do his
only brother's surgery?
No, I know how you feel.
That not doing the surgery, puts you
in more pain than doing it.
I'm standing
my ground this time.
gotten worse?
Lee Sun-woo...
Just say you're sorry.
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...
"Cho-in, my little brother,
I'm sorry."
Just those simple words...
Please...
No...
I can't say it.
Because my brother Lee Cho-in
already died in China.

Kim Seo-yeon...
you know exactly

So how can you

But he's your

The brother you lived
with for over 30 years.
No, I don't have a brother.
Then you're just

Cho-in, can you
really do that?
You think that I can't?
Sun-woo, are you okay?
Are you?
What about the CT scan?
Want to go take a look?
Kim Seo-yeon,
you should leave now.
Lee Sun-woo, I told you
not to do this to me.
Lee Sun-woo!
Lee Sun-woo!

I'm so grateful to you.

Young-ji, what are

I was doing a facial with the
cosmetics you bought me.
Bent on seeing our hospital

Kick him out?
What do you mean!
You're going to let
a grade 4 brain tumor
patient perform surgery?
That's same as
attempted murder.
Trying to kill me
wasn't enough?
Actually Lee Sun-woo
might die first.
Lee Cho-in, are you
threatening me now?
Did it sound
threatening to you?
Fine, tomorrow...
No, do it now.
Office of the board
of trustees, please.
This is
Assistant Director Nah.
Please announce
the board's decision now.
I'll send the Emergency Medical
Center blueprint as well.
Satisfied?
No.
That's just a start.
Excuse me now.
Someone's waiting for you.
Dr. Bang.
What's this?
The Director of
Neurosurgery Center...
Well, now he's just
Dr. Lee Sun-woo.
It's a summon for Dr. Lee
from the ethics committee.
The ethics committee?
It's true!
The Emergency Medical
Center is now confirmed.
And Dr. Kim Hyun-ju is
the center's director.

DR. LEE SUN-WOO
So the ethics committee is
conducting a witch hunt?
Ma'am, you shouldn't
react so emotionally.
What?
Since the case conference,
we aren't getting
many new patients.
And many current patients
are refusing treatment,
asking to be transferred.
Director Lee Jong-min's
cherished Neurosurgery
Department may be
at risk altogether.
And should the word of
Sun-woo's condition get out,
you'll be held
responsible for any
malpractice suits since you
kept his illness a secret.
Did Lee Cho-in ask
you to tell me this?
Did he tell you to do this?
I'm an executive here at
Bosung Medical Center.
I can conclude that much
on my own, ma'am.
Get out.
Get out of my sight now.
Well, have a nice day.
After all Sun-woo's been
through to get here...
Jerks!
Jerks...
Why aren't you
doing your rounds?
Sir, we want to continue to work
as Neurosurgeons at Bosung.
But we can't.
What are you talking about?
As you must be aware,
we aren't getting any patients.
Our interns want to
gain experience,
but there's no opportunity.
And even the Neurosurgery Center
has been scrapped.
I'm sorry, but you must
make a decision, sir.
Are you asking me
to resign
as the center's Director
and leave the hospital?
That alone will save
patients and...
Save patients?
You think you're qualified
to demand this from me?
You better have the
qualifications first.
Then I'll gladly listen.
It's a summons from the
ethics committee, sir.

AND PERFORMS SURGERY
Lee Cho-in...
You're going to strip me
of my doctor's robe?
Because you disappeared,
we got so many complaints
from our Chinese guests.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Thank goodness Ms. Yang
came through.
It could've been a mess.
I really am sorry.
I'll let it slide since
it's your first time.
Get back to work.
Young-ji!
Congratulations.
What do you mean?
The board made its decision on
the Emergency Medical Center.
Emergency Medical Center?
The Emergency Medical Center
Dr. Lee Cho-in wanted.
Really?
So this is good
news for him?
I thought you knew it
more than anybody.
Young-ji.
Dr. Lee.
Let's go eat.
I heard about the good news,
is it true?
Yes, my dad's wish
is about to come true.
That's so wonderful!
And about your father...
Lee Cho-in!
Young-ji, give me
just a minute.
No, take your time.
It won't be long,
so just wait.
Lee Cho-in.
Trying to take away
my medical license?
You're not qualified
to be a doctor.
What?
The tumor in your brain
is 4.7cm big.
And you've been
performing surgeries?
That's my concern.
But it concerns
patients' lives.
What if you have a
seizure during surgery?
Do patients' lives mean
that little to you?
Actually, I bet they do.
That's why you can even
kill your own brother, right?
Don't you know
how important being
a neurosurgeon means to me?
Why don't you know that?
I'm doing this
because I know.
Why, you punk...
There's no strength
in your right hand.
Could it be flaccid paralysis?
You're not qualified
to be a doctor,
so take off that robe.
No, over my dead body.
I can't give up being a
doctor even if means my life.
Then stand proud before the
ethics committee and testify.
Young-ji.
Yes?
What should we eat?
So is this Emergency Medical Center
that important?
Isn't that
driving a wedge
between you and
Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
It's all over now,
so you don't have to worry.
But I'm still worried.
He's your one
and only brother.
I appreciate
the concern...
But let's just talk
about us, okay?
Sure...
And give me a little
affection, too.
Dr. Lee...
What's wrong?
You said you love me.
What?
That's what you
said last time.
Didn't you?
We didn't get a chance
to go out that night.
Want to go tonight?
Tonight?
Sure.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Dad.
I never wanted
to outdo you.
Not even for a moment.
I just wanted to
be like you...
I was just following
your footsteps.
If this, too,
is your intention...
I should follow it.
But, dad...
To be stripped of
my doctor's robe...
I won't stand for that.
I would rather die.
Dad...
Just a bit earlier...
If you'd held my hand
just a bit earlier...
Just a little bit...
Dad...
Dr. Lee, back where
I'm from,
nights were dark with all
the lights turned off.
But here,
the nights are pretty
with these bright lights.
Every one of those lights must've
been turned on by someone.
And those lights become
homes and families...
If we become a family,
will we be like those lights?
I wonder what your
family is like.
I bet they're
regular folks.
Who love and care
for each other.
I'll find out when
I meet them.
What do you mean?
I'm looking for information
on your parents.
We should get some
good news soon.
Dr. Lee.
Too early to be
touched yet.
You can't push me away
once I meet your family.
How could I ever
push you away?
Even if you asked me to,
I'd never let go of you.
Never.
Let me call.
Where's Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
Pardon?
I see.
Dr. Lee Sun-woo
isn't in today.
Dr. Lee Cho-in, Dr. Lee Sun-woo
is absent today.
Shall we go on?
No, we'll do it
when he's here.
Is that okay?
Thank you.
Please leave a message
after the beep.
Lee Sun-woo,
where are you?
Hiding like a coward?
But you were so
high and mighty.
Come on out.
You've got
nowhere to hide.
Hello.
Hi, Seo-yeon.
I haven't heard from
Sun-woo in three days,
so I was worried.
You haven't heard
from him either?
Then...
Ma'am.
Have you found Sun-woo?
The police just
found his vehicle.
Where?
In Gangwondo.
Gangwondo?
Perhaps at the
Belly Button House?
Belly Button House?
Your family's summerhouse.
It's located right in the
middle of the country.
So Sun-woo and Cho-in used to
call it the Belly Button House.
I'll go there and
then call you.
Would you?
Dr. Kang Seok-hoon.
How bad is
Dr. Lee Sun-woo's condition?
The linear accelerator
only worsened his condition.
Unless he has
surgery right away,
there's no telling how
long he has left.
You're going to strip
me of my doctor's robe?
I spent all my days and
nights in operating rooms
But dad never
acknowledged me.
He didn't even
give me a chance.
It may not mean much to you,
who hogged all of dad's love,
but it was important to me.
You were my brother,
I loved you the most in the world...
You were my idol!
You were like
a religion to me!
My brother Lee Cho-in
already died in China.
Lee Sun-woo, I still can't
forgive your sins.
Cho-in.
Cho-in, that's the
sound of my heartbeat.
Can you hear it?
Yes, I can.
Lee Cho-in, until my heart
stops beating, I'll protect you.
I'll protect you if anyone
picks on you or beats you up.
You'll never be alone.
I promise.
Do you remember?
When we were little, when I
used to go around smiling...
mother would chide
me and ask me
why I had so many
reasons to smile about.
But I had no reason
to smile back then.
Lee Sun-woo,
you were...
the brother I loved
the most in the world.
Sun-woo came back
after three years.
It felt like a dream.
We were so happy,
we hugged and cried.
Sun-woo, where are
you hiding?
I miss you.
Happy birthday,
my big brother.
Happy birthday to you.
I haven't seen
you in four years.
Come home soon!
I regret it...
Cho-in...
So much that I
feel like dying...
I regret it.
Why...
Sun-woo, where are you?
Can you come pick me up...?
Where are you?
Can you take me to Seoul...?
I'll be right there.
Sun-woo!
Sun-woo, it's okay.
Everything will be fine...
Sun-woo, can you hear me?
I'm right here.
Seo-yeon is right
here beside you.
Sun-woo,
it's been seven years
since my heart transplant.
You and Cho-in have
caused me so much grief.
I don't know how much
longer I can last.
I no longer want to live
with someone else's heart.
I'm tired of waiting
for the one I love.
So whether it be two months
or two years,
please get the treatment.
Wake up,
get on your knees and
ask Cho-in for forgiveness...
And we'll live together...
Okay?
You can hold my hand...
and take me for walks
like you used to.
Read to me like
you used to.
And you have to put me
in a wedding dress, too.
Get up and tell me
that you love me.
Okay?
Are you awake now?
I'm sorry...
For being this way...
I'm so sorry...
Lee Sun-woo...
Seo-yeon...
Can you take me to Seoul?
Can you take me to Cho-in?
Yes, let's go.
Let's go see Cho-in.
LEE CHO-IN
LEE CHO-IN, MY SON...
-Good morning.
-Hi.
Good morning.
Hi.
Sun-woo's not here yet?
Isn't that
Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
He disappeared after the
ethics committee summons.
Will he lose his
medical license?
Doesn't he look ill?
He really must
have a tumor.
Seo-yeon, can you let me
walk by myself from here?
Sure, be careful.
Cho-in.
What?
Are you afraid that
you might die?
So you threw away your
pride and showed up?
So you can live?
Yes, that's why I came.
Lee Cho-in, I want
you to do my surgery.
What?
You decide whether
I live or die.
Why should I?
You’re going to die anyway.
So why should I save you?
Whether I live or die,
I want it to be at your hands.
Lee Cho-in,
do the surgery.
I won't.
And I'll watch you
slowly wasting away,
painfully regretting
what you did.
Jin-geun.
Yes?
Think Cho-in will do
Sun-woo's surgery?
He has no choice
but to do it.
It's his brother.
That's what worries me.
These days, Cho-in
couldn’t care less
even if Sun-woo
were to die.
Well, you do have
a point...
Is that true?
Dr. Lee Cho-in refused to do
Dr. Lee Sun-woo's surgery?
Everyone at the
hospital has heard.
I didn't think Dr. Lee Cho-in
could be so callous.
Want some help?
No, I got it.
Okay then.
NEUROSURGERY CENTER
DIRECTOR LEE SUN-WOO
This meant
everything to me...
Sun-woo!
Sun-woo!
Somebody help!
Sun-woo...
How long has he
been like this?
Just happened suddenly
five minutes ago.
Do an emergency CT scan
and get ready for surgery.
Cho-in...
Dr. Lee, remain still.
Lee Cho-in...
Sun-woo!
Move him to the
operating room.
If we just leave
him in this state,
there's no telling if he'll make
it another month or a week.
How can someone kill
his younger brother!
When I came back
from the States,
I thought dad would 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 land.
He didn’t choose me,
but you, Lee Cho-in.
Whether I live or die,
I want it to be at your hands.
Lee Cho-in,
do the surgery.
Dr. Lee Cho-in!
Cho-in, where are you?
I'm looking at the CT scan,
it's a brain hemorrhage.
But the bigger problem is the
increasing cranial pressure.
If he doesn't go
into surgery,
there's no telling
what may happen.
Cho-in, are you listening?
Dr. Lee Cho-in!
Lee Sun-woo...
Just die.
We have to stop
the hemorrhaging
and remove the tumor!
Where's Cho-in?
Sun-woo refused to have the
surgery unless Cho-in did it.
Call him again.
But you were
just in there.
Is that how you
think of me, too?
As a jerk who won't do his
only brother's surgery?
No, I know how you feel.
That not doing the surgery, puts you
in more pain than doing it.
I'm standing
my ground this time.
