EPISODE 8

Kang-chul.

From now on, I'll live
your share of life, too.

I'll work hard and
bring Mom and Dad.

Oh Kang-chul's little sister
Oh Young-ji...

You know that she
means what she says.

Right?

Don't worry about us.

And in your next life,

be born in a rich country.

And...



Live a happy life.

And until I can
bring Mom and Dad...

Even if everyone points
their fingers at me...

I won't let go of that man.

He was a gift from you...

I'll hold onto him.

I'll let you go now.

Farewell.

Bye...

I'll be back again.

I'm done.

Hello...

Bye...

Lee Cho-in...



Let's go.

Come on.

Get in.

Come on.

Young-ji.

Just get in!

Let's go.

What brings you
this way, Dr. Jo?

You can turn in your resignation
at the personnel office.

I want you to see this
before I resign.

What is it?

MRI results of a patient
with an astrocytoma.

LEE SUN-WOO

Do you see the patient's name?

Is that the Lee Sun-woo
from the Johns Hopkins?

Or not?

If the word gets out

that someone with
an astrocytoma is running

the Neurosurgery Center,

will the center be affected?

Or not?

Are you okay?

It's nothing...

How are you today,
Miss Kim?

What about Sun-woo?

He should be here soon.

I contacted him.

These American hospitals.

If he doesn't come,
we'll go find him.

Right?

Kim Seo-yeon, who am I?

I'm Lee Cho-in after all.

Have I ever broken a promise?

When you were comatose
after the transplant,

he held your hand and prayed.

Is Sun-woo still not here?

LEE SUN-WOO

Sir, I think your mother
has found out

about your recurrence of illness.

She went to go see your father.

You gave your disease
to Sun-woo?

Not my Sun-woo!

Lee Jong-min.

Take your disease and
Sun-woo's with you!

Mom.

Take them with you alone...

Sun-woo...

He doesn't deserve
your kindness!

Sun-woo.

Let's go.

Let's go to the Johns Hopkins.

We'll get the best staff
to operate on you.

And you'll come back
good as new.

No.

I'm not going.

Sun-woo.

Mom, the team I have put
together here is the best.

Maybe not yet, but
I'll make them the best.

And I'll cure myself.

So you need not worry.

My son...

My precious son...

After what you went through
these past seven years...

I didn't want you to cry
in faraway America...

I just wanted you to inherit
a great hospital...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, my son.

I came too late for your rescue.

You'll get better, my baby.

Just as you did last time, right?

Don't worry, Mom.

I'll get better.

You do that.

I'll look after your father,
so just look after yourself.

I'll do whatever it
takes to protect you.

Okay?

Yes.

I believe you, Mom.

You can go in.

Goodbye.

Can you stop the car?

Please.

Thank you, you can go.

Sir!

Mr. Oh Kang-ho!

Mr. Oh Kang-ho...

REQUEST FOR
LONG-TERM LEAVE

We got a copy of the ID.

Just bring in the seal and
the paperwork by tomorrow.

So we can leave now?

Yes.

We don't let anyone leave
without all the paperwork.

But we have faith in
you as a new citizen.

Thank you.

Is it true that
the tumor recurred?

Why did you keep me
in the dark, too?

Sir.

Stop making a fuss.

What grade?

It's an astrocytoma,
so does it even matter?

What do you mean?

You're giving up?

No.

I exchanged my loved ones
for this Neurosurgery Center.

I haven't even started yet.

Let's go to Johns Hopkins.

I'll do the surgery.

I'm the Director of this brand
new Neurosurgery Center.

And I go to America
with a brain tumor.

Think that the center
can keep going?

Sir.

Don't worry.

I have too much going on
to go away now.

The linear accelerator

will be here next week.

Just wait till then.

Seok-hoon.

How did my mother find out?

I think Dr. Jo told her.

Jo Hyun-taig...

Yes.

I see.

You can go.

Jo Hyun-taig...

So he blackmailed
my poor mother again...

Hello?

I'm calling you about
the list of defectors.

Go on.

The defectors are all at
the orientation center.

Did you get the photos?

It's impossible to get them.

You'll have to wait
for two months

till the orientation is over.

I hired you for a reason.

Do whatever it takes
to get some photos.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Please don't be alive,
Lee Cho-in.

Don't make me kill you twice.

Waiting for me?

You stayed out late.

Did you have something to say?

No, I just wanted to see you.

Bye.

Why...

Why didn't you tell me then?

Why didn't you tell me
you came for my surgery?

If you had told me...

It wouldn't have been so hard.

Even if I had told you,
nothing would've changed.

I couldn't ask you to wait...

I was in a battle
with no end in sight.

Sun-woo.

But deep inside my heart...

I had faith that
you'd wait for me.

You were the only one for me.

And I believed that I was
the only one for you.

I'll wait for you.

Just a minute.

Come in.

Sit down.

You must be hungry.

I'm okay.

You can't be.

I haven't eaten
for a few days...

And I'm just skin and bones.

Give me a minute.

I'll make dinner.

RAMEN: CURLY NOODLES
BISCUIT: CRUNCHY SNACK

TV CHANNEL: TV ROUTE
CD PLAYER: LASER AUDIO

I hope you like it.

It's potato dumpling soup.

It's a famous North Korean dish.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

Aren't you eating?

What?

Oh, I am.

You know something?

When I was a little kid,

my mom would make this.

I'd want to eat first.

But she'd insist on waiting
for the whole family.

When I was starving
like I am now,

Kang-chul would always
come home.

I'd hate and love him
at the same time.

We'd have the dumpling soup,

and stay up all night
talking about our day.

When I think about it...

Those were the happiest
days of my life.

How do you make
potato dumpling soup?

Why?

Want to make it yourself?

Yes.

Never mind.

My mom used to say,

a man should never
be in the kitchen

unless he's castrated...

Thank you for this meal.

But deep inside my heart...

I had faith that
you'd wait for me.

You were the only one for me.

And I believed that I was
the only one for you.

I'll wait for you.

Miss Oh.

How did you live in China?

I worked as a tour guide.

Mr. Lee Cho-in from Seoul!

I'm Lee Cho-in.

I'd show Korean tourists around
and interpret for them.

I'd help them do what
they wanted to do.

And I'd take them where
they wanted to go.

Smile, one, two...

How did it turn out?

Don't be so shocked.

You don't want a picture of us?

Mr. Oh.

Do you really not
remember anything?

I want to thank you.

For what?

For calling me Oh Kang-ho.

Who are you?

You're really not Lee Cho-in?

What's this?

This must be about me.

PERSONNEL CHANGE

JO HYUN-TAIG HAS
BEEN SUMMONED

TO THE ETHICS COMMITTEE
FOR UNJUST ENRICHMENT

Ma'am, what are
you trying to pull?

Have you forgotten what
I know about Sun-woo?

Dr. Lee...

Dr. Jo, all you could come
up with was blackmail?

Why, is that wrong?

Unjust enrichment from the
anticonvulsant experiment....

And three years of data manipulation
on an anticoagulant experiment...

Quite a few things here.

And what about it?

Why don't you take care of this
before blackmailing people?

What?

Lee Sun-woo.

If I so much as open my mouth
about your illness...

The Neurosurgery Center
will go down in flames.

Revealing personal medical
history is a crime.

It can result in a three year
sentence and a $10,000 fine.

And your medical license
would be revoked as well.

So you'll turn me in?

Are you trying to test me?

Mr. Jo Hyun-taig.

I can make your life
a living hell.

Understand?

I have to drop some paperwork
off at the orientation center.

Have some breakfast.

CITIZEN'S ID
OH YOUNG-JI

You're all set, Miss Oh.

Thank you.

This is an orientation checklist.

Make sure Mr. Oh gets the
medical check-up, at least.

Okay?

Yes, thank you.

Mr. Oh, did you eat?

It took me a while.

Mr. Oh Kang-ho!

Mr. Oh Kang-ho!

Mr. Oh Kang-ho!

SO-MANG HOSPITAL

Mr. Oh...

I sent you the photos,
take a look.

Oh Young-ji...

So how much more
do you want?

Ten times the initial amount.

You're rather greedy.

Please leave.

Then where will
I get that money?

I hear Lee Cho-in was
the son of Bosung's Director.

Maybe I should go there.

If you thought such
blackmail would work,

you were gravely mistaken.

Get lost!

Young-ji.

Where did you go?

Shouldn't you tell me
these things?

Can't you leave a note?

You're an amnesiac.

What if you get lost or
something happens to you?

I darn near died looking for you.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, Young-ji.

Don't do this again.

Got that?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, then.

Aren't you hungry?

I am.

Very much so.

Let's go home,
I'll make you dinner.

Wipe that smile off your face.

To think of what I went through!

And where did you go anyway?

When tomorrow comes

and the day after

I will be still missing you.

I will only love you.

Lee Cho-in.

I love you.

I love you, dear.

I miss you, I miss you.

I'm still waiting for you.

When tomorrow comes

and the day after

I will be still missing you.

I will only love you.

Good job, take a break.

She must have really
loved this guy.

I'm overwhelmed
just listening to her.

Well, it's like a farewell
gift to reach closure.

Right, Sun-woo?

A farewell gift...

Why don't we go for a beer?

Sure, Seo-yeon, too...

No, just us.

Okay.

Bye, Sun-woo.

Oh, hi...

You miss him so much that
you had to write a song?

Sun-woo.

Will you live the rest of your
life holding onto his ghost?

What's wrong with you?
It's a farewell to Cho-in...

Cho-in, Cho-in, Cho-in!

How long will you go on?

Aren't you the one
holding onto him?

Whenever you see me,
you're reminded of him.

I don't have any regrets
about Cho-in like you might.

But he's the man I loved.

And he's the man who
loved me the most.

So it just takes some
time to let him go.

You know something?

If I still mean
the world to you...

Before worrying about Cho-in...

You should've asked me
how I felt about you.

I just don't know...

...the Lee Sun-woo
standing before me...

I really don't know.

Seven years ago and now...

I'm the same person.

But you've changed.

You've had a change of heart.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

Who is it?

Choi Chi-soo.

Choi Chi-soo...?

Just had to show that he
was in Security Forces.

He slit his own carotid artery
with his own nails.

Vicious punk.

We better repatriate him.

Not repatriate, but deport.

201-101 HYUNDAI APARTMENT
OH YOUNG-JI

Young-ji.

I won't ever leave
you all alone.

I'll keep my promise
to Kang-chul.

Thank you.

You have a check-up
at the orientation center.

Go wash up really good.

Here's your change of clothes.

Go on.

Mr. Oh.

A monkey would take
you for his buddy.

Shave that thing off your chin.

Got it?

PUBLIC BATH

Comrade Oh.

This scar...

Have I always had it?

Was it there when
you saved me?

Mr. Lee Cho-in...

Did I keep you waiting?

Here...

You can't lose it.

201-101 HYUNDAI APPATMENT
DEUNGCHON, CHEONG-SEOK

MEDICAL CHECK-UP
FOR IMMIGRANTS

Looks like it already started.

You better go.

Mr. Oh.

I'll be back by
the time you finish.

Don't go anywhere
and wait here.

Oh Young-ji speaking.

Yes.

Who's this?

This is Cho-in's brother
Lee Sun-woo.

Oh, hello...

One second.

Where are you?

Where...?

I'm working.

I see.

I'd like to meet.

Shall I go see you?

No.

I'll go see you.

You can come to the hospital.

Okay.

Man-ho.

I see money.

Boss.

Blackmail might tip them off
that we killed Lee Cho-in.

You punk.

Do I look that stupid to you?

Stay still.

PATIENT NAME:
OH KANG-HO

Doctor.

Can you take a look at
my post-op wound?

Sorry?

This wound.

Is there anything
you can tell me?

Where I got the surgery
and what it was for.

Well, I can't tell you for sure.

But the big scar tells me
it's from your childhood.

This looks like
a heart surgery wound.

And this looks like
a lung ailment.

This wouldn't have been
possible in North Korea.

And in South Korea?

It looks like the scar
is over 20 years old.

At that time, you could count
the number of hospitals

that could do this
with your hand.

Which hospitals?

Well, you could call
the hospital association.

Thank you.

KOREAN HOSPITAL
ASSOCIATION

Looking for your lost
memory, Comrade Oh?

Choi Chi-soo...

Thought I couldn't get out?

Thought I'd let them
deport me?

I've been waiting for you.

I'll kill you to
avenge Kang-chul.

You know what went
through my mind?

I was going to
report everything,

get us both deported
and tear you to death.

Or I was going to stay
here and crush you.

That's what I was thinking,
you knucklehead dirt bag.

But I changed my mind.

You met Oh
Kang-chul's sister?

Stop struggling.

You know what this does
better than I do.

Kang-ho.

And Oh Young-ji made this
just for your sake.

Oh Kang-ho.

You made me blow the money

that would have
brought my family.

So you should lose
someone you cherish, too.

Then you'll know
what it feels like.

Come in.

Sir, you have guests.

Show them in.

Hello, Dr. Lee.

Who are you?

My name is Choe,

and I have an import-export
business in China.

Choe...

I happen to know the details of

what happened to Lee Cho-in.

Shall we talk here or
somewhere more quiet?

I happen to know how
he faced his final moment.

Could you speed up?
