EPISODE 7
It's been three years.
Sun-woo came back for the
first time in three years.
We embraced each other and cried.
The evening news reported
the tearful reunion.
Today is April 1, 2004.
April Fools' Day.
When will something like
this really happen?
Sun-woo, where are you?
I miss you.
Lee Cho-in, reporting from
Bosung Medical Center.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, my brother.
Happy birthday, Sun-woo.
I haven't seen you
in three years.
Wherever you are,
have a good birthday.
Miss you...
Help me blow these out.
One, two, three.
I'm sorry, Lee Cho-in.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
NEUROSURGERY CENTER
DIRECTOR: LEE SUN-WOO
All set, Director.
Director Lee Jong-min
and I, as next of kin,
have equitably divided
the assets belonging to
the deceased Lee Cho-in.
As the Director is in
a comatose state,
I will act as his legal
guardian, and fully support
the establishment of
a new Neurosurgery Center.
And Dr. Lee Sun-woo, from Neurosurgery,
is appointed the Operating Director
of the Neurosurgery Center.
Everything will take effect
as of this announcement.
The Vice-Director of
Bosung Medical Center,
Nah Hae-ju.
Why, that old wench...
We plan to complete the
Neurosurgery Center by 2010.
Thus we are going ahead with
the reorganization of the hospital.
The center will be made up
of two departments,
research institution
and clinical division.
Trustee Oh In-geun will head
the Research Department.
The Clinical Department
will incorporate
neurology, psychiatry,
radiology, and anesthesiology,
and cultivate new ground
in neurosurgery.
Doctors must be on call to
perform surgery within 20 minutes.
Reduce your commute time so you can
do more surgery and research.
We'll do a case conference
of every single surgery
and emerge as a world-class
surgical institution.
May I ask a question,
Dr. Lee Sun-woo?
Please.
We've been doing a case
conference of each surgery.
So what's so different
about these new conferences?
Are you saying you'll reveal
the info to the patients?
Of course.
All the info from every surgery
will be available to the patients.
It's time for you to discard your
sense of easygoing entitlement
as a university hospital doctor.
You'll all be held responsible
for the outcomes of your surgeries.
And that applies to me as well.
Please remember this.
We're waging a war against the
uncharted territory of the human brain.
What are you trying to do?!
You promised me the head
position at the Center!
That was contingent upon
you keeping your promise.
Why did you agree to Hyun-ju's
request for a board meeting?
Because it wouldn't affect the
decision regarding the Center.
You got what you wanted,
so you couldn't care less.
Do you know how I got here
from being just a country boy?
I'm no pushover.
You just watch, I'm not
going to back down.
Dr. Jo Hyun-taig.
The ethics committee approved your
anticonvulsant experiment.
But you received something
from the drug company.
This is a copy of
the bank transaction.
You have a son named
Jo Young-seok in the States?
Hey, Oh Kang-ho.
How did Oh Kang-chul die?
He killed himself.
Stop dozing off
and talk to me!
You killed Oh Kang-chul,
didn't you?
Oh Kang-ho!
No...
Kang-chul killed himself.
Stop spouting nonsense, jerk.
Why would he kill himself
after calling us for help?
You killed him, didn't you?
No...
A witness saw you kill
Oh Kang-chul.
Still going to deny it?
Bring him in.
Is he the one who killed
Oh Kang-chul?
Yes, he is.
I've no plans to
go to South Korea.
Choi...
Choi Chi-soo...
I'm positive.
He killed Comrade Oh.
He conspired with North
Korean security troops.
He stabbed and shot
Comrade Oh.
I'll kill you!
Let me go!
I'll kill you!
Let me go!
What is your
professional opinion, sir?
Even after 72 hours without sleep,
he's still repeating the same thing.
I don't think he's lying.
Violence towards Choi Chi-soo
is a normal reaction of anger.
Not many can repeat the same
thing after 72 hours without sleep.
It's only possible for highly
trained special agents.
He could simply be a
determined person.
How can someone so
determined lose his memory?
A determined person would've
regained his memory already.
It can be psychological,
but it can also be physiological.
Take a look.
In my humble opinion,
the cause was physiological,
from the impact of the bullet
that grazed his head.
I see.
Thank you.
What do you think?
There's no evidence to support
Choi's story either.
So you think Choi is lying?
One of them is lying.
This photo was found
on Oh Kang-ho.
Maybe we can bring in
Oh Young-ji and--
And what if Oh Kang-ho does
turn out to be a secret agent?
Oh Young-ji could get killed.
In 1997, Kim Jong-il's niece was
killed after defecting to the South.
North Korea could kill
Oh Young-ji as an example of
what happens to those who
try to defect from them.
Scour all North Korean records
regarding Oh Kang-ho.
If anything points to him
being a secret agent,
deport him to China.
Yes, sir.
EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
DRIVER'S LICENSE
OH YOUNG-JI
Miss Oh Young-ji.
So you can speak
Chinese and Japanese.
And you've been a
guide for two years?
That's right, sir.
But because of the bad economy,
no one is actively hiring.
And it's even harder
for immigrants.
Do you have anything?
Are you okay with lower pay
and working out of town?
Anywhere will do.
Just find me a job, sir.
What in the world
do they eat?
They sure are tall.
Special sale!
Come and try.
Just two bucks!
Ma'am, come and have some.
Special sale.
She's so obviously
an immigrant.
Special sale!
Just five dollars for
100g of premium beef.
Thank you.
MISSING CHILD
KIM DAE-HYUN
They found Cho-in in the desert.
What was he doing in the desert?
The hospital that did the surgery?
Where are you going?
I'm not paying you
if you leave!
Stuff yourself with that beef.
Excuse me.
Do you know Dr. Lee
Cho-in by any chance?
I saw you at the funeral.
You must be his family, right?
So your name is Oh Young-ji?
And you were Cho-in's
tour guide in China?
Yes, that's correct...
And...
What do you want?
Well...
I have to tell you
something about him.
He might have been kidnapped.
Kidnapped?
And on what basis?
When I was in China, these
people paid me to watch him.
They even pulled out guns
and tried to kidnap him.
But I managed to sneak him out
and get him his ticket for his flight.
But Dr. Lee never
made it back to Korea...
So I'm wondering if those guys
did something bad to him.
When I met with
Miss Kim Seo-yeon...
I wanted to bring it up...
But I was just so afraid...
But not to know
how he passed away...
It must haunt you,
and it's so unfair on him.
So...
The people who tried
to kidnap Cho-in...
Do you remember their names?
Yes, I remember the man's
name and phone number.
Mr. Choe in China, he runs
an import-export business.
Do you want his phone number?
He conspired with North
Korean Security troops.
He stabbed and shot
Comrade Oh.
Choi Chi-soo...
I'll kill you!
Kang-ho...
Live and go on, and look after
Young-ji for me.
You grabbed my ankles
while I was unconscious in the desert.
You wanted to live.
You were left for dead
after being shot.
Shoot!
Kill me!
You must live to
uncover the truth.
Live, Kang-ho.
You think I can
find everything?
In South Korea...
The ones I loved...
and the reasons why I was discarded?
Thank you, come again!
Hello, how many?
Four?
This way.
Here.
Jin-ho?
How have you been?
So you're out.
Were you placed in Seoul?
No, they put me in Cheong-ju.
Cheong-ju?
I didn't get so lucky.
I just came by to see you.
Have you eaten?
You can eat at the
restaurant I work at.
It's okay.
Let's finish this up
before it gets colder.
My, look at the time.
Going somewhere?
I work two jobs,
I mean three jobs.
You better go.
I'll finish the rest.
Once Kang-chul gets here,
I'll get you back.
Sure.
Thanks, I better go.
Okay.
Go.
It's like she's been
in Seoul forever.
But what's this about
two jobs...?
CHOE BOK-GEUN
Thank you, Miss Oh.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
Not at all,
I should thank you.
But could you keep
this between us?
I don't want any
misunderstandings.
You needn't worry.
I just want you to do
Dr. Lee Cho-in justice.
Mr. Lee Cho-in...
Do you feel better now?
Please stop hating me...
And rest in peace.
Put more emotion into it.
Don't you understand
the lyrics?
The love of your life
just left you.
Let's go again.
Seo-yeon.
It's been 15 straight hours
since last night.
She can hardly sing right now.
Why don't we take a break?
Miss Kim Seo-yeon,
that's enough.
It's time for you to go
to the hospital, too.
Sure, let's start again at five.
Okay.
Give your voice a rest.
Thank you.
Thank you, come on out.
Thanks.
Kim Seo-yeon, you're one
tough cookie these days.
Teaching kids all day long,
and producing records
all night long.
Since when were you
such a workaholic?
You don't say.
What's gotten into me?
Is it so tough that you
have to do all this?
No, I just have to catch up
after being in China.
That's good to hear.
Going out of your way to
avoid him is even sillier.
Thanks.
I'm off.
Look after her.
She's having a hard time
trying to forget Cho-in.
Smile at her, would you?
You're such a stiff.
I'll try.
Bye.
GAMMA KNIFE TREATMENT
1:00PM @ HANGUK HOSPITAL
Hello?
Dr. Lee, you have a visitor
from the Foreign Ministry.
Foreign Ministry?
I was in Korea for a vacation,
and I remembered what you said.
You wanted to know what would
happen to those defectors.
Were they deported to China?
No, they both escaped.
The one who threatened you with
a pen, and the wounded man.
They both escaped while being
transported to North Korea.
All because you treated that man.
They may even be here
in South Korea.
I thought you'd
appreciate the news.
Why are you so cruel
to Sun-woo?
It's not as if he made
Cho-in disappear.
Jung-min.
I know, I really do.
But don't you realize that
it's hard for him, too?
So he tells me to forget Cho-in
the day his ashes get here?
Just as I forgot him
after he disappeared?
And what I went through
after he disappeared...
He has no idea how
difficult it was for me!
How can I smile at
someone so inconsiderate?
I told you that
Sun-woo was ill.
Why does that matter now?
That's why he
never came back?
Actually, Sun-woo
did come back.
What?
He was here for
your heart surgery.
When you were comatose
after the heart transplant,
he held your hand and prayed.
He said it was okay
if he had to go,
but asked for you to be saved.
Cho-in.
Is Sun-woo still not here?
Why didn't you tell me?
That Sun-woo came...
He was worried you'd
find out about his illness.
He begged me not to tell you.
Hello?
I want the most recent list...
The list of all North Korean
defectors within the last month.
Whatever it may cost,
I want it as soon as possible.
No way...
It's impossible...
No way...
I don't remember.
You didn't make it
look like a suicide?
No.
How did you get your
head and chest wounds?
I don't remember.
I'm Oh Kang-ho.
What are the results?
He must be Oh Kang-chul's
cousin for certain.
Polygraph results indicates
that he gave a lot of
conflicting answers.
But he was sure about being
Oh Kang-chul's cousin
Oh Kang-ho.
From the database of
North Korean population.
There are some 100 men of the
same name and similar age.
But the most fitting description
is that of Oh Kang-chul's cousin.
There's no photo.
He's been trained as a special
agent since the age of 14.
So no photos of him exist.
And that's why he doesn't speak
with a North Korean accent?
Yes.
Let me cut to the chase.
Our research indicates
you are not Oh Kang-ho.
Your claim of having
amnesia isn't credible.
And the North Korean
records don't match.
We'll have no choice but
to deport you to China.
Why do you believe
Choi Chi-soo but not me?
Is it because I'm an amnesiac?
You burned off your thumbprint
to hide your identity.
Who are we supposed to believe?
You or Choi Chi-soo?
No matter what you say...
The man who killed Kang-chul
is that jerk Choi Chi-soo.
You said Oh Kang-chul
killed himself!
My brother Kang-chul...
...was just trying to save me.
Because Choi Chi-soo
had shot him...
He was trying to save my life!
Now let me ask a question.
Have you checked the scar
on Choi Chi-soo's thigh?
That's where Kang-chul
stabbed the jerk.
Scars like that are a dime
a dozen among Special Forces.
That's hardly evidence.
Then what about the bag
with the US dollars?
What if I told you...
...that he killed Kang-chul
for that money?
Choi Chi-soo sold
the drugs for North Korea.
So that's not evidence either.
Anything else?
If not, you'll have
to go back to China.
Oh Young-ji...
Let me meet with Oh Young-ji.
Let me meet with Oh Young-ji.
That's my last request.
Rice cakes!
Buy some rice cakes.
These are so good.
They're home-made
in North Korean style.
I got some mooncakes, too.
Ma'am, take one.
Come on, just buy one.
I'll take a mooncake.
Mooncake?
Just a second.
Here you go, three bucks.
Wait, you're the government agent...?
Really?
Kang-ho is here in Seoul?
Yes.
Is he your older cousin?
Yes, of course he is.
I didn't get to see him often,
but our families were close.
Then what about my brother?
Has Kang-chul come too?
He couldn't make it yet?
Mr. Oh Kang-chul is here, too.
Thank you so much!
Kang-chul...
So if they're really
Kang-chul and Kang-ho,
we can all leave together?
Once their identities
are confirmed,
they'll be sent to
the orientation center.
Why do I need to confirm
my own family?
I'll recognize them right away.
Don't you worry.
In here?
No...
It can't be...
That can't be my brother.
Sir...
That's not what I want...
I want to see my brother.
You told me I'd be seeing
Kang-chul and Kang-ho.
Let me see
my brother Kang-chul.
As I tried to tell you before...
Mr. Oh Kang-chul died
in a skirmish while in China.
No...
Kang-chul is so fast...
and so strong...
He'd outlast everyone
in this world.
That's not my brother.
My brother is definitely alive.
He promised he'd come see me.
That he'd bring our parents
and come see me.
So please look into it,
I beg you.
Our government agents
confirmed his body.
Kang-chul...
You broke your promise...
You said...
That we'd survive and meet...
You said that
if I managed to live...
You'd come find me...
You could have
come in one piece...
You were a mountain
of a man, too...
And you're in this
tiny little thing...
In this tiny thing...
Come back...
Kang-chul...
Cho-in.
So that wasn't you holding
my hand back then?
That was Sun-woo?
LEE SUN-WOO
Miss Oh Young-ji?
Miss Oh Young-ji?
The person you'll be meeting
insists that he is Oh Kang-ho.
We've concluded
that he has amnesia.
We need you to confirm whether
he's really Oh Kang-ho or not.
Do you understand?
Send him in.
Miss Oh, your phone.
Hello?
Young-ji, this is Kim Seo-yeon.
Miss Kim...
You don't sound well,
are you sick?
Miss Kim,
I'll call you back.
I'm sorry...
Miss Oh, do you
recognize this person?
Is this your cousin?
He...
Miss Oh Young-ji,
my name is Oh Kang-ho.
We told you, no talking.
Miss Oh Young-ji,
do you recognize me?
The only thing I remember is
the name Kang-chul called me by.
So...
Tell me who I am.
Please tell me who I am.
This person...
This person is...
You've confirmed
that man as Oh Kang-ho.
If that turns out to be a lie,
you'll be charged as well
and have your stipend
and housing taken away.
Do you understand?
Yes.
If he assumed the identity
of Oh Kang-ho,
we'll deport him back to China.
Deport him?
Miss Oh, is that man
really Oh Kang-ho?
Yes, he is.
Are you sure?
Yes...
I'm sure.
That man is...
...my cousin, Oh Kang-ho.
Kang-chul.
Did I do the right thing?
You sent that man,
so I did the right thing, didn't I?
Sir.
I'm leaving for Cheong-ju.
If you don't want me to go,
hold my hand and yell at me.
"Kim Hyun-ju!"
"I told you to run the
Emergency Medical Center!"
Do you believe in fate?
Cho-in died early
just like his real parents...
Was that just fate?
Goodbye, Sir.
There's not much I can do.
I'll go see her off, Sir.
I'm the one who got demoted,
but you're the one with the long face.
Let's just work for
a different hospital.
How can someone of your abilities
work at an affiliate hospital?
No, I'm going.
Why?
I promised the Director.
I'm not giving up, no matter what.
That's what he would've wanted.
So look after him.
Do me that favor.
Whatever.
You were always
the top anesthesiologist.
Sun-woo's getting on my nerves,
but he realizes that at least.
Right?
Come here.
What, are you
going to hit me?
I'm going to give you a hug
as a farewell present.
EMERGENCY ROOM
So we're all going to be set.
You idiots, South Korea
is no paradise.
You're nothing without money.
Out of my way!
What the heck?
Oh Kang-ho...
Done with the questioning?
Good to see you.
Comrade Choi Chi-soo.
Choi Chi-soo.
Even if I lose my memory again,
I won't forget your name.
And remember this.
You'll die by my hand.
What's going on?
Mr. Choi, you'll be held
for further questioning.
What do you mean?
You got those US dollars
by selling drugs, right?
Isn't that why you tried
to kill Oh Kang-chul?
Which son of a gun
uttered such nonsense?
Choi Chi-soo!
We know that Oh Kang-chul
stabbed you in the thigh.
Oh Kang-ho, why
that son of a gun...
Oh Kang-ho, you jerk...
I'll kill you!
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
Mr. Oh Kang-ho.
How...
How did you become
my cousin Kang-ho?
When I was dying
in the desert...
Kang-chul wanted us
to be brothers
until I regained my memory.
He gave me the name Oh Kang-ho...
in memory of his cousin.
Miss Oh.
Thank you for letting me
live as Oh Kang-ho.
Until I regain my memory...
Or even after I regain it...
I'll always be
Oh Kang-ho to you.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Haven't you had enough, sir?
Wouldn't you be drinking, too?
Get me my drink!
Nah Hae-ju, how
will I get you back?
Hey, why the long face?
No, how could I be unhappy
on such a happy occasion?
Let me introduce you.
Dr. Jung Young-gyu,
the Chief Neurosurgeon at
Hanguk Hospital.
And this man needs
no introduction.
Dr. Jo Hyun-taig, the Head
of Neurosurgery at Bosung.
It's an honor, sir.
Please, you have
a few years on me.
Excuse me.
Dr. Lee Sun-woo seems
busy these days.
Lee Sun-woo?
What about him?
He has Gamma Knife treatment
scheduled for today.
But I can't reach him.
Gamma Knife?
Oh my, doctor-patient
confidentiality...
Excuse me.
But aren't we colleagues?
Why don't we go out
for a drink together?
HAENG-BOK MEMORIAL PARK
This way.
CHOE BOK-GEUN
86 1337 026125
We received Cho-in's remains
from China yesterday.
Where was Cho-in discovered?
In the desert.
So we can compare that
to the matching ring.
Trustee Oh In-geun...
I have my reasons...
But how dare you
harm my brother...
CHOE BOK-GEUN
86 1337 026125
Feels so nice.
Man-ho, is that money
I can smell in the breeze?
It sure is, boss.
It's coming from
Bosung Medical Center.
We hit the mother lode
with Lee Cho-in.
Mr. Lee...
How did my brother die?
THE LATE
MR. OH KANG-CHUL
Without suffering?
Yes.
Without suffering...
He left peacefully.
What...
What was the weather like?
A brilliant...
A brilliant, sunny day.
Good...
It was a sunny day.
So he must have found
himself a nice place.
He must have reached
the underworld by now.
Never...
Never again...
Never again, will I see him...
Are you doing well?
I just got my heart
ultrasound and...
I'm taking my meds on time.
But I still can't get used
to a world without you.
But I'll try.
So you won't worry.
"Did you sleep well, Seo-yeon?"
Even though I no longer get
your calls in the morning...
Even though I no longer
hear your lullaby at night...
Even without your laughter,
I shall manage somehow.
I will.
THE LATE
MR. LEE CHO-IN
Lee Cho-in.
I had faith that
you'd wait for me.
I believed that I was
the only one for you.
Mr. Oh Kang-ho!
A man should never
be in the kitchen...
Thank you for calling
me Oh Kang-ho.
Mr. Oh!
Who are you?
You're really not Lee Cho-in?
How do you know
my brother Cho-in?
I happen to know how
he faced his final moments.
It's been three years.
Sun-woo came back for the
first time in three years.
We embraced each other and cried.
The evening news reported
the tearful reunion.
Today is April 1, 2004.
April Fools' Day.
When will something like
this really happen?
Sun-woo, where are you?
I miss you.
Lee Cho-in, reporting from
Bosung Medical Center.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, my brother.
Happy birthday, Sun-woo.
I haven't seen you
in three years.
Wherever you are,
have a good birthday.
Miss you...
Help me blow these out.
One, two, three.
I'm sorry, Lee Cho-in.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...

But you received something
from the drug company.
This is a copy of
the bank transaction.
You have a son named
Jo Young-seok in the States?
Hey, Oh Kang-ho.
How did Oh Kang-chul die?
He killed himself.
Stop dozing off
and talk to me!
You killed Oh Kang-chul,
didn't you?
Oh Kang-ho!
No...
Kang-chul killed himself.
Stop spouting nonsense, jerk.
Why would he kill himself
after calling us for help?
You killed him, didn't you?
No...
A witness saw you kill
Oh Kang-chul.
Still going to deny it?
Bring him in.
Is he the one who killed
Oh Kang-chul?
Yes, he is.
I've no plans to
go to South Korea.
Choi...
Choi Chi-soo...
I'm positive.
He killed Comrade Oh.
He conspired with North
Korean security troops.
He stabbed and shot
Comrade Oh.
I'll kill you!
Let me go!
I'll kill you!
Let me go!
What is your
professional opinion, sir?
Even after 72 hours without sleep,
he's still repeating the same thing.
I don't think he's lying.
Violence towards Choi Chi-soo
is a normal reaction of anger.
Not many can repeat the same
thing after 72 hours without sleep.
It's only possible for highly
trained special agents.
He could simply be a
determined person.
How can someone so
determined lose his memory?
A determined person would've
regained his memory already.
It can be psychological,
but it can also be physiological.
Take a look.
In my humble opinion,
the cause was physiological,
from the impact of the bullet
that grazed his head.
I see.
Thank you.
What do you think?
There's no evidence to support
Choi's story either.
So you think Choi is lying?
One of them is lying.
This photo was found
on Oh Kang-ho.
Maybe we can bring in
Oh Young-ji and--
And what if Oh Kang-ho does
turn out to be a secret agent?
Oh Young-ji could get killed.
In 1997, Kim Jong-il's niece was
killed after defecting to the South.
North Korea could kill
Oh Young-ji as an example of
what happens to those who
try to defect from them.
Scour all North Korean records
regarding Oh Kang-ho.
If anything points to him
being a secret agent,
deport him to China.
Yes, sir.
EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
DRIVER'S LICENSE
OH YOUNG-JI
Miss Oh Young-ji.
So you can speak
Chinese and Japanese.
And you've been a
guide for two years?
That's right, sir.
But because of the bad economy,
no one is actively hiring.
And it's even harder
for immigrants.
Do you have anything?
Are you okay with lower pay
and working out of town?
Anywhere will do.
Just find me a job, sir.
What in the world
do they eat?
They sure are tall.
Special sale!
Come and try.
Just two bucks!
Ma'am, come and have some.
Special sale.
She's so obviously
an immigrant.
Special sale!
Just five dollars for
100g of premium beef.
Thank you.
MISSING CHILD
KIM DAE-HYUN
They found Cho-in in the desert.
What was he doing in the desert?
The hospital that did the surgery?
Where are you going?
I'm not paying you
if you leave!
Stuff yourself with that beef.
Excuse me.
Do you know Dr. Lee
Cho-in by any chance?
I saw you at the funeral.
You must be his family, right?
So your name is Oh Young-ji?
And you were Cho-in's
tour guide in China?
Yes, that's correct...
And...
What do you want?
Well...
I have to tell you
something about him.
He might have been kidnapped.
Kidnapped?
And on what basis?
When I was in China, these
people paid me to watch him.
They even pulled out guns
and tried to kidnap him.
But I managed to sneak him out
and get him his ticket for his flight.
But Dr. Lee never
made it back to Korea...
So I'm wondering if those guys
did something bad to him.
When I met with
Miss Kim Seo-yeon...
I wanted to bring it up...
But I was just so afraid...
But not to know
how he passed away...
It must haunt you,
and it's so unfair on him.
So...
The people who tried
to kidnap Cho-in...
Do you remember their names?
Yes, I remember the man's
name and phone number.
Mr. Choe in China, he runs
an import-export business.
Do you want his phone number?
He conspired with North
Korean Security troops.
He stabbed and shot
Comrade Oh.
Choi Chi-soo...
I'll kill you!
Kang-ho...
Live and go on, and look after
Young-ji for me.
You grabbed my ankles
while I was unconscious in the desert.
You wanted to live.
You were left for dead
after being shot.
Shoot!
Kill me!
You must live to
uncover the truth.
Live, Kang-ho.
You think I can
find everything?
In South Korea...
The ones I loved...
and the reasons why I was discarded?
Thank you, come again!
Hello, how many?
Four?
This way.
Here.
Jin-ho?
How have you been?
So you're out.
Were you placed in Seoul?
No, they put me in Cheong-ju.
Cheong-ju?
I didn't get so lucky.
I just came by to see you.
Have you eaten?
You can eat at the
restaurant I work at.
It's okay.
Let's finish this up
before it gets colder.
My, look at the time.
Going somewhere?
I work two jobs,
I mean three jobs.
You better go.
I'll finish the rest.
Once Kang-chul gets here,
I'll get you back.
Sure.
Thanks, I better go.
Okay.
Go.
It's like she's been
in Seoul forever.
But what's this about
two jobs...?
CHOE BOK-GEUN
Thank you, Miss Oh.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
Not at all,
I should thank you.
But could you keep
this between us?
I don't want any
misunderstandings.
You needn't worry.
I just want you to do
Dr. Lee Cho-in justice.
Mr. Lee Cho-in...
Do you feel better now?
Please stop hating me...
And rest in peace.
Put more emotion into it.
Don't you understand
the lyrics?
The love of your life
just left you.
Let's go again.
Seo-yeon.
It's been 15 straight hours
since last night.
She can hardly sing right now.
Why don't we take a break?
Miss Kim Seo-yeon,
that's enough.
It's time for you to go
to the hospital, too.
Sure, let's start again at five.
Okay.
Give your voice a rest.
Thank you.
Thank you, come on out.
Thanks.
Kim Seo-yeon, you're one
tough cookie these days.
Teaching kids all day long,
and producing records
all night long.
Since when were you
such a workaholic?
You don't say.
What's gotten into me?
Is it so tough that you
have to do all this?
No, I just have to catch up
after being in China.
That's good to hear.
Going out of your way to
avoid him is even sillier.
Thanks.
I'm off.
Look after her.
She's having a hard time
trying to forget Cho-in.
Smile at her, would you?
You're such a stiff.
I'll try.
Bye.
GAMMA KNIFE TREATMENT
1:00PM @ HANGUK HOSPITAL
Hello?
Dr. Lee, you have a visitor
from the Foreign Ministry.
Foreign Ministry?
I was in Korea for a vacation,
and I remembered what you said.
You wanted to know what would
happen to those defectors.
Were they deported to China?
No, they both escaped.
The one who threatened you with
a pen, and the wounded man.
They both escaped while being
transported to North Korea.
All because you treated that man.
They may even be here
in South Korea.
I thought you'd
appreciate the news.
Why are you so cruel
to Sun-woo?
It's not as if he made
Cho-in disappear.
Jung-min.
I know, I really do.
But don't you realize that
it's hard for him, too?
So he tells me to forget Cho-in
the day his ashes get here?
Just as I forgot him
after he disappeared?
And what I went through
after he disappeared...
He has no idea how
difficult it was for me!
How can I smile at
someone so inconsiderate?
I told you that
Sun-woo was ill.
Why does that matter now?
That's why he
never came back?
Actually, Sun-woo
did come back.
What?
He was here for
your heart surgery.
When you were comatose
after the heart transplant,
he held your hand and prayed.
He said it was okay
if he had to go,
but asked for you to be saved.
Cho-in.
Is Sun-woo still not here?
Why didn't you tell me?
That Sun-woo came...
He was worried you'd
find out about his illness.
He begged me not to tell you.
Hello?
I want the most recent list...
The list of all North Korean
defectors within the last month.
Whatever it may cost,
I want it as soon as possible.
No way...
It's impossible...
No way...
I don't remember.
You didn't make it
look like a suicide?
No.
How did you get your
head and chest wounds?
I don't remember.
I'm Oh Kang-ho.
What are the results?
He must be Oh Kang-chul's
cousin for certain.
Polygraph results indicates
that he gave a lot of
conflicting answers.
But he was sure about being
Oh Kang-chul's cousin
Oh Kang-ho.
From the database of
North Korean population.
There are some 100 men of the
same name and similar age.
But the most fitting description
is that of Oh Kang-chul's cousin.
There's no photo.
He's been trained as a special
agent since the age of 14.
So no photos of him exist.
And that's why he doesn't speak
with a North Korean accent?
Yes.
Let me cut to the chase.
Our research indicates
you are not Oh Kang-ho.
Your claim of having
amnesia isn't credible.
And the North Korean
records don't match.
We'll have no choice but
to deport you to China.
Why do you believe
Choi Chi-soo but not me?
Is it because I'm an amnesiac?
You burned off your thumbprint
to hide your identity.
Who are we supposed to believe?
You or Choi Chi-soo?
No matter what you say...
The man who killed Kang-chul
is that jerk Choi Chi-soo.
You said Oh Kang-chul
killed himself!
My brother Kang-chul...
...was just trying to save me.
Because Choi Chi-soo
had shot him...
He was trying to save my life!
Now let me ask a question.
Have you checked the scar
on Choi Chi-soo's thigh?
That's where Kang-chul
stabbed the jerk.
Scars like that are a dime
a dozen among Special Forces.
That's hardly evidence.
Then what about the bag
with the US dollars?
What if I told you...
...that he killed Kang-chul
for that money?
Choi Chi-soo sold
the drugs for North Korea.
So that's not evidence either.
Anything else?
If not, you'll have
to go back to China.
Oh Young-ji...
Let me meet with Oh Young-ji.
Let me meet with Oh Young-ji.
That's my last request.
Rice cakes!
Buy some rice cakes.
These are so good.
They're home-made
in North Korean style.
I got some mooncakes, too.
Ma'am, take one.
Come on, just buy one.
I'll take a mooncake.
Mooncake?
Just a second.
Here you go, three bucks.
Wait, you're the government agent...?
Really?
Kang-ho is here in Seoul?
Yes.
Is he your older cousin?
Yes, of course he is.
I didn't get to see him often,
but our families were close.
Then what about my brother?
Has Kang-chul come too?
He couldn't make it yet?
Mr. Oh Kang-chul is here, too.
Thank you so much!
Kang-chul...
So if they're really
Kang-chul and Kang-ho,
we can all leave together?
Once their identities
are confirmed,
they'll be sent to
the orientation center.
Why do I need to confirm
my own family?
I'll recognize them right away.
Don't you worry.
In here?
No...
It can't be...
That can't be my brother.
Sir...
That's not what I want...
I want to see my brother.
You told me I'd be seeing
Kang-chul and Kang-ho.
Let me see
my brother Kang-chul.
As I tried to tell you before...
Mr. Oh Kang-chul died
in a skirmish while in China.
No...
Kang-chul is so fast...
and so strong...
He'd outlast everyone
in this world.
That's not my brother.
My brother is definitely alive.
He promised he'd come see me.
That he'd bring our parents
and come see me.
So please look into it,
I beg you.
Our government agents
confirmed his body.
Kang-chul...
You broke your promise...
You said...
That we'd survive and meet...
You said that
if I managed to live...
You'd come find me...
You could have
come in one piece...
You were a mountain
of a man, too...
And you're in this
tiny little thing...
In this tiny thing...
Come back...
Kang-chul...
Cho-in.
So that wasn't you holding
my hand back then?
That was Sun-woo?
LEE SUN-WOO
Miss Oh Young-ji?
Miss Oh Young-ji?
The person you'll be meeting
insists that he is Oh Kang-ho.
We've concluded
that he has amnesia.
We need you to confirm whether
he's really Oh Kang-ho or not.
Do you understand?
Send him in.
Miss Oh, your phone.
Hello?
Young-ji, this is Kim Seo-yeon.
Miss Kim...
You don't sound well,
are you sick?
Miss Kim,
I'll call you back.
I'm sorry...
Miss Oh, do you
recognize this person?
Is this your cousin?
He...
Miss Oh Young-ji,
my name is Oh Kang-ho.
We told you, no talking.
Miss Oh Young-ji,
do you recognize me?
The only thing I remember is
the name Kang-chul called me by.
So...
Tell me who I am.
Please tell me who I am.
This person...
This person is...
You've confirmed
that man as Oh Kang-ho.
If that turns out to be a lie,
you'll be charged as well
and have your stipend
and housing taken away.
Do you understand?
Yes.
If he assumed the identity
of Oh Kang-ho,
we'll deport him back to China.
Deport him?
Miss Oh, is that man
really Oh Kang-ho?
Yes, he is.
Are you sure?
Yes...
I'm sure.
That man is...
...my cousin, Oh Kang-ho.
Kang-chul.
Did I do the right thing?
You sent that man,
so I did the right thing, didn't I?
Sir.
I'm leaving for Cheong-ju.
If you don't want me to go,
hold my hand and yell at me.
"Kim Hyun-ju!"
"I told you to run the
Emergency Medical Center!"
Do you believe in fate?
Cho-in died early
just like his real parents...
Was that just fate?
Goodbye, Sir.
There's not much I can do.
I'll go see her off, Sir.
I'm the one who got demoted,
but you're the one with the long face.
Let's just work for
a different hospital.
How can someone of your abilities
work at an affiliate hospital?
No, I'm going.
Why?
I promised the Director.
I'm not giving up, no matter what.
That's what he would've wanted.
So look after him.
Do me that favor.
Whatever.
You were always
the top anesthesiologist.
Sun-woo's getting on my nerves,
but he realizes that at least.
Right?
Come here.
What, are you
going to hit me?
I'm going to give you a hug
as a farewell present.
EMERGENCY ROOM
So we're all going to be set.
You idiots, South Korea
is no paradise.
You're nothing without money.
Out of my way!
What the heck?
Oh Kang-ho...
Done with the questioning?
Good to see you.
Comrade Choi Chi-soo.
Choi Chi-soo.
Even if I lose my memory again,
I won't forget your name.
And remember this.
You'll die by my hand.
What's going on?
Mr. Choi, you'll be held
for further questioning.
What do you mean?
You got those US dollars
by selling drugs, right?
Isn't that why you tried
to kill Oh Kang-chul?
Which son of a gun
uttered such nonsense?
Choi Chi-soo!
We know that Oh Kang-chul
stabbed you in the thigh.
Oh Kang-ho, why
that son of a gun...
Oh Kang-ho, you jerk...
I'll kill you!
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
Mr. Oh Kang-ho.
How...
How did you become
my cousin Kang-ho?
When I was dying
in the desert...
Kang-chul wanted us
to be brothers
until I regained my memory.
He gave me the name Oh Kang-ho...
in memory of his cousin.
Miss Oh.
Thank you for letting me
live as Oh Kang-ho.
Until I regain my memory...
Or even after I regain it...
I'll always be
Oh Kang-ho to you.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Haven't you had enough, sir?
Wouldn't you be drinking, too?
Get me my drink!
Nah Hae-ju, how
will I get you back?
Hey, why the long face?
No, how could I be unhappy
on such a happy occasion?
Let me introduce you.
Dr. Jung Young-gyu,
the Chief Neurosurgeon at
Hanguk Hospital.
And this man needs
no introduction.
Dr. Jo Hyun-taig, the Head
of Neurosurgery at Bosung.
It's an honor, sir.
Please, you have
a few years on me.
Excuse me.
Dr. Lee Sun-woo seems
busy these days.
Lee Sun-woo?
What about him?
He has Gamma Knife treatment
scheduled for today.
But I can't reach him.
Gamma Knife?
Oh my, doctor-patient
confidentiality...
Excuse me.
But aren't we colleagues?
Why don't we go out
for a drink together?
HAENG-BOK MEMORIAL PARK
This way.
CHOE BOK-GEUN
86 1337 026125
We received Cho-in's remains
from China yesterday.
Where was Cho-in discovered?
In the desert.
So we can compare that
to the matching ring.
Trustee Oh In-geun...
I have my reasons...
But how dare you
harm my brother...
CHOE BOK-GEUN
86 1337 026125
Feels so nice.
Man-ho, is that money
I can smell in the breeze?
It sure is, boss.
It's coming from
Bosung Medical Center.
We hit the mother lode
with Lee Cho-in.
Mr. Lee...
How did my brother die?
THE LATE
MR. OH KANG-CHUL
Without suffering?
Yes.
Without suffering...
He left peacefully.
What...
What was the weather like?
A brilliant...
A brilliant, sunny day.
Good...
It was a sunny day.
So he must have found
himself a nice place.
He must have reached
the underworld by now.
Never...
Never again...
Never again, will I see him...
Are you doing well?
I just got my heart
ultrasound and...
I'm taking my meds on time.
But I still can't get used
to a world without you.
But I'll try.
So you won't worry.
"Did you sleep well, Seo-yeon?"
Even though I no longer get
your calls in the morning...
Even though I no longer
hear your lullaby at night...
Even without your laughter,
I shall manage somehow.
I will.
THE LATE
MR. LEE CHO-IN
Lee Cho-in.
I had faith that
you'd wait for me.
I believed that I was
the only one for you.
Mr. Oh Kang-ho!
A man should never
be in the kitchen...
Thank you for calling
me Oh Kang-ho.
Mr. Oh!
Who are you?
You're really not Lee Cho-in?
How do you know
my brother Cho-in?
I happen to know how
he faced his final moments.
