Cain and Abel (2009): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

EPISODE 9

Oh, Kang-ho.

You made me lose the money
that would've brought my family.

So you should lose
someone you cherish, too

Could you speed up?

Comrade Oh, long time no see.

Oh Kang-ho!

Why, you scumbag...

I told you I'd kill you myself.

Stop!

I said, stop!



Why are you doing this?

Young-ji, out of my way...

Mr. Oh!

Please stop.

You're scaring me.

What has this person done?

Go.

Hurry up!

Do you know who he is?

Your brother...

Kang-chul was
killed by this man.

Mr. Oh.

Still, don't do this.

Even if he did
kill my brother...



Don't do this.

You aren't a killer.

Kang-chul...

...didn't save...

...your life for this.

Not for you to
become a murderer...

Young-ji.

I know.

I know how you feel.

I hate that man so much

I could kill him myself.

But still...

If you commit murder
and go away, too...

Then I...

I'd have no one.

In all of South Korea...

There's no one

who'd care for me.

So please...

Have pity on me.

And please don't do this.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Oh...

Is that your family?

My younger sister.

Isn't she pretty?

Yes, she is.

I wanted to flee with her
and show her a better world.

So you know what happened
to my brother Cho-in?

I certainly do.

So what exactly
happened to Cho-in?

How could it be that
after having his funeral...

...we're hearing that
he might be alive?

He supposedly lost his memory,
took on the name Oh Kang-ho,

escaped prison and is
trying to come to Korea.

Some even say they saw him.

If that's true...

Someone sent what was
supposed to be his ashes.

Along with his ring.

So you must be here because
you heard the same rumor.

Yes, that's right.

That's good.

Then will you look for Cho-in?

I'll make it your worthwhile.

Sure, we'll do that.

Then I'll put my faith in you.

Boss, what's this about
Lee Cho-in being alive...

Be quiet.

If he is alive, we'll find him
and get paid.

Either way, this Lee Cho-in
is a jackpot for us.

Young-ji.

Thank you.

For what?

For saving my hand...

I saved a wounded comrade
in the desert without thinking.

And Kang-chul said that
I may have been a doctor.

That this hand might help
me regain my memory.

Thank you for protecting it.

Mr. Oh, you know what?

That hand saved my life, too.

Young-ji, why don't we leave?

What do you mean?

You want to move?

Yes.

Choi Chi-soo will
come back for sure.

Then I won't be able to
let him leave in one piece.

I want to keep
my promise to you.

That's good.

I don't want you getting
mixed up with him either.

But where should we go?

Anywhere you want
to go is fine with me.

Anywhere.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Even if it's a bit

far away from Seoul?

Two tickets to Chong-ju, please.

Thank you.

FROM SEOUL TO CHEONGJU

Oh Young-ji speaking.

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

Oh, hello...

We were supposed to meet
here at the hospital.

Something came up.

I can go see you.

Where are you?

Mr. Lee Sun-woo

I told you
everything I know.

I'm crazy busy trying to make ends meet.

So please stop calling me.

MR. LEE SUN-WOO

Mr. Oh, the bus is leaving soon.

I'll take it.

An old habit from my tour guide days.

Mr. Oh.

Once we get on this bus,
things may take a while.

It may take a while for you
to regain your memory.

Are you okay with that?

Yes.

I'm fine.

Don't be so quick to answer.

Your people who you loved

might be waiting for you.

But you may not see
them for a long while.

You may...

regret getting on this bus.

I won't regret it.

Ever.

That's fine then.

We better get on.

This road I'm on may take me
further away from my memories.

The person who tried to kill me
and the person I loved...

I may not find them for a long time.

But I still want to know
why I was left for dead.

And I still want to find out
who I am

that was lost with my memories.

But I fear that if I do
regain my memories,

I won't be able to look after
this woman sleeping next to me.

They're kind of small today.

These are a foot long.

Keep shortchanging me,
and I'll go somewhere else.

You've become
a businessman and fisherman.

I'll give you two more
bucks for each.

Come on now.

Give me three more.

Fine, sell me this carp, too.

Sir, that's not for sale.

Saving it for your wife?

Wife...

Oh... Yes, it's for her all right.

Sure, look after her.

Don't regret it after you
become a widower like me.

My chest hurts from
smoking too much.

Well, that may
not be the lungs.

Do you have high blood
pressure or diabetes?

How did you know?

You better go get
yourself checked out.

It's okay.

Now you're playing doctor, too.

Off I go.

Kang-ho.

Catch more fish for
my big group tomorrow.

And drop by and pick up
that recorder.

Sure thing.

From Sung-an Travel Agency!

From Sung-an Travel Agency.

Come this way.

Watch your step.

Who did these?

Cho-in's drawings?

He was so good
with his hands.

He was such a quick study.

LEE SUN-WOO

You're not going to get it?

Sun-woo, this is Jung-min.

Seo-yeon won't answer.

You've been avoiding
his calls for a month.

Isn't it time you let it go?

Doesn't packing Cho-in's things
mean you're ready for Sun-woo?

They're separate issues.

You two were so lovey-dovey
before he left to study.

Have you forgotten that?

Or are you pretending?

Yes, once upon a time,
he was the only man for me.

He meant the world to me.

Then he vanished for seven years
and came back out of the blue.

And he says that
he still loves me.

How would you take that?

You chose Cho-in
in Sun-woo's place.

No.

No offense to Cho-in who
looked after me for seven years.

But if Sun-woo had asked,
I might have waited.

Seven years or 70 years...

That's how much I loved him.

But I can't trust anyone now.

Cho-in or Sun-woo...

I don't want to start anything
with people who just vanish.

This mansion is where

Korean presidents stay
during vacation.

Follow me.

This is the study room.

Take a look around.

This is the living room.

Kang-ho, did you catch lots of fish?

I sure have, Comrade Young-ji.

Where are you at?

I'm at the rock statue park.

Stop making fun of my accent.

That's my next stop on the tour,
so don't have lunch alone.

This park has rock sculptures

of those who changed history.

French president De Gaulle,

Russian president Lenin,

and England's Prince Charles.

Feel free to take photos.

-Can we get a photo?
-Sure.

Comrade Oh Young-ji.

Stop talking so much
or you'll get a sore throat.

You eat up,
Comrade Kang-ho.

I don't like oily food.

I know there was only one
egg left in the fridge.

It's not about that.

Then we split it, okay?

Thanks.

Is that a new statue?

Yes.

I have to remember
so much as it is.

But they keep
bringing in new ones.

So who is that American guy?

He's not American
but Austrian.

Austria...

Yes.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

And he's a classical composer.

The next guy is
Giacomo Puccini.

The greatest Italian composer
of the opera after Verdi.

How do you know all that?

No kidding.

How do I know that?

Strange.

Maybe your memory
has come back.

Has it?

I don't think so.

My memory hasn't come back.

It's all written on there.

I didn't say anything.

I don't know what's in
that head of yours.

But you get these headaches

and act spaced out.

You can do that around me.

But you might get hurt
somewhere else.

So should I just
do that around you?

Is that supposed to be a joke?

The tourists are
finishing up their lunch.

Okay, it's time to go home.

-Ready?
-Bye, bye, bye!

Bye!

Miss Kim.

We don't have anyone for
the medical show-and-tell.

Sorry?

Well, Dr. Lee Cho-in
can't come any more.

I'll take care of it.

I practically lived in
a hospital after all.

Thank you, Miss Kim.

LEE JUNG-MIN

Any progress?

Of course, we have
some good news.

As you said,

this Oh Kang-ho is in Korea.

We found out that he was
in the orientation center.

We're not certain

that he's the same person
as Lee Cho-in.

Keep looking into it.

Boss, this Lee Sun-woo
is a bit strange.

Why doesn't he just go

to the police instead of hiring us?

Who knows how
these fat cats think?

We'll just find this Lee Cho-in

or Oh Kang-ho jerk and get paid.

To this orientation center.

Let's go make some cash.

Yes, sir.

You had a long day, rest up.

See you tomorrow.

Comrade Young-ji.

What brings you here?

Is everything okay?

I came to escort you, my lady.

Let's go.

Faster, Comrade Kang-ho.

Yes, ma'am.

Big brother!

Mr. Oh, you're calling
for your brother.

Do you remember his name?

-Brother!
-Mr. Oh.

We'll stop today's session.

How am I doing?

You can't remember what
happened before the shooting.

You must be really afraid
of the man who shot you.

But don't feel down.

You've made a lot of progress
in the last three sessions.

You should regain
your memory soon.

Are the headaches still bad?

Yes.

I'll prescribe one
week's worth of meds.

Don't let the headaches
stop you from remembering.

Doctor, can't you give me
two weeks' worth of meds?

I can't afford to come often.

Sure.

Comrade Kang-ho,
where the heck are you?

I'm on my way.

But there's a huge traffic jam.

What the heck is a jam?

Too many cars on the road.

I'll fly over.

Disassociative amnesia...

Able to remember everything
else but one's identity...

It's what Mr. Oh has...

I'm going to lose it,
what took you so long?

I wanted to help you sell
some potato dumpling soup.

But the customers are
irate from waiting.

Sorry, I got backed up.

Come on.
It's probably ruined by now.

I'm sorry.

Do you know what
this Saturday is?

Saturday?

Are you really Young-ji's cousin?

I am.

So you made a life-or-death
escape with Kang-chul,

and can't remember your only
living relative's birthday?

Birthday?

I'll let it go since
she insists you're her cousin.

But you better not like her.

Make her cry,
and I'll make you pay.

Give her a hard time, and...

Got that?

Stop smiling.

Get going.

Okay.

Birthday?

Look at the time.

You go on deliveries
and just vanish.

Sorry, it took me a while.

We put all of our stipend
into this business.

We won't even
break even at this rate.

Don't worry,
I'll work my butt off.

I'll finish up,
go take a break.

I'm fine!

You're not even wearing gloves.

Sit right here and wait.

Comrade Kang-ho.

Yes, my lady.

Are you okay living like this?

You go out fishing at dawn.

Then you do hard labor all day.

Then you make deliveries
till two in the morning.

Don't you get sick of it all?

No, I enjoy it.

I must have been
born to live like this.

I love it.

So you'll be okay continuing
to live like this?

Even if you don't
regain your memory?

I'll regain it someday.

Then you'll forget all
about little old me.

What?

I couldn't remember your face,
so I wanted to take another look.

People in love can't get enough
of looking at each other.

Maybe I love you?

Stop teasing me.

Oh my, love my foot!

Oh?

Don't you worry,
I won't ever forget you.

Yes, please don't
ever forget me.

I wish that you'll never
regain your memory.

You don't even
have to love me.

But I want to keep living
with you like now.

Did Jung-min call you?

It's the only way I could
see you, so I made the call.

Let's go inside.

So this is called a stethoscope...

And when I wear it and listen...

I can hear your heartbeat

as if it's thunder.

So everyone...

When you have a cold...

I'd use the stethoscope...

And listen to your heart...

One second.

Shall we try it?

Shall we?

Please wait.

We made $1,500 on top of
the $3,000 in stipends.

So we're rich.

We've got a long way to go.

I need $20,000 to
bring my parents here.

That much?

I smuggled myself in here,
but they should ride a plane.

Don't you agree?

Comrade Kang-ho,
I'll treat today.

Really?

Yes, keep it under
two bucks though.

This is so good, isn't it?

Sure, just great.

Hey, I bought it for
you as a big gesture.

Give it here.

I said it's great.

Hey, you can't do that...

What's going on?

Mister.

He must be a doctor.

He's becoming conscious...

Can someone call
an ambulance?

911?
A person has collapsed.

Please hurry.

Thank you.

Can we talk?

Another time.

Bye.

You still can't forgive me?

I can wait as long as it takes.

-But...
-What more do you want?

Don't you have everything
you ever wanted?

You're the Director
of the new center,

and soon you'll be
the Director of the hospital, too.

Is that not enough?

If I throw all that away,
can I win your heart?

-Is everything so simple to you?
-No.

If you knew what I exchanged
for the Neurosurgery Center...

You wouldn't say that.

But even that
Neurosurgery Center...

...means nothing to me
if I can't have you.

-Sun-woo!
-Don't!

I'm fine!
I'm fine...

Don't come.

Are you okay?

Sun-woo,
what's wrong?

Sun-woo...

Please wake up!

Somebody help!

Sun-woo was ill.

He was seriously ill that
he couldn't come back.

Hi Seo-yeon.

Jung-min,
Sun-woo has collapsed.

Where are you?

In an ambulance.

Remember what you
told me in China?

That Sun-woo was ill.

What was his illness...

Sun-woo.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It happens about once a year
when I'm too tired or anxious.

How embarrassing.

Are you sure?

It's a passing thing,
so don't worry.

Sun-woo...

Young-ji, are you sleeping?

Why did you go off
by yourself?

You don't like me
doing that, right?

I'm not mad because
you helped someone.

But do you know how
things are in Korea?

If something goes wrong,
they'll blame you for everything.

Then the police will take you in
and things will get complicated.

I'm sorry.

To be honest...

I wish you wouldn't
do things like that.

I'll be more careful.

Good night.

I'm the one who should be sorry,
but you keep apologizing.

I'm the bad one here...

THORACOTOMY-CAPABLE
HOSPITALS IN 1980

Don't let the headaches
stop you from remembering.

You'll be in pain, but make
a memo of everything.

Whether they be names,
places, or numbers.

Something might come
up within a few days.

This session might
stimulate something.

1115...

This is Lee Cho-in, and I'm in surgery.

I'll call you when I'm out.

Scalpel.

This is Lee Cho-in,
and I'm in surgery.

I'll call you when I'm out.

Scalpel.

This is Lee Cho-in.

I'm in surgery.

What's the status?

He was in a bus that
was in an accident.

The umbrella got
lodged in his stomach.

One, two, three!

Dressing cart.

The bleeding is bad.

Dr. Kim.

What is it?

A burn victim.

Hook him up to a monitor
and check the oxygen level.

Someone give me a hand!

I got it.

Jin-geun?

Long time no see, ma'am.

I got it.

Thanks.

Black, right?

Thank you.

Look at you, Jin-geun.

Becoming the Chief
Anesthesiologist

at the Neurosurgery Center
has changed you.

I was always a looker.

Well, you're all
bling-bling now.

You must be busy though.

I took out the time just for you.

Really?

There's actually
an experiment here.

So I volunteered to oversee it.

Just to see you, ma'am.

Good.

Aren't you off tomorrow?

Let's go on an
overnight booze trip.

Okay, I'll treat tonight.

Okay...

Mr. Oh, turn off the alarm...

Mr. Oh, please...

Young-ji, I have to
go somewhere today.

Don't wait up for me.

More than 70 years before

Gutenberg in Germany,

Koreans had movable

type printing.

I love you.

You can try now.

Where are you?

Why aren't you picking up?

Text me when you get this.

So what's good in Cheong-ju?

Cheong-ju is known for jageuri.

Jageuri?
What's that?

Looks a bit like you actually.

To Cho-in?

You want to give
the hospital to Cho-in?

The hospital isn't really
anyone's to give away.

Why not?

I'm half responsible for
this hospital's growth.

I, Nah Hae-ju, made
Bosung Medical Center!

If we go by your logic,

this hospital belonged
to Cho-in's parents.

So you want to give it
back to Cho-in?

Yes.

Because he's really the son

of you and his mother?

Honey!

You thought I didn't know?

You pretend to have adopted
your dead friends' son.

But I've known
that he's your son.

My goodness...

Fine, think whatever you want.

And I'll build that
Emergency Medical Center

and have Cho-in
become its Director.

Why did your friend Lee Jin-sung
and Cho-in's mother Choe Yun-hee

die in an accident?

What do you mean?

Why did a perfectly fine
car's brakes go bad?

Don't tell me...

Mr. Lee Jong-min.

You should've repented
before me for your sin.

Then the love of your life
wouldn't be dead.

So you... You...

If you'd just stopped
with Cho-in's mother...

None of this would've
happened to you,

Cho-in and our son Sun-woo.

Young-ji, is Kang-ho
getting some treatment?

I saw him walk out of
a psychiatric clinic.

-Sun-woo!
-Don't! I'm fine...

Please wake up!

Don't...

Somebody help!

Idiot...

Lee Sun-woo speaking.

Dr. Lee, this is
Choe Bok-geun.

I have some good news.

Go on.

Just as you had guessed,
Oh Kang-ho is indeed Lee Cho-in.

What?

He was at the orientation center
and managed to get out.

Are you sure he's Lee Cho-in?

Yes, positive.

So where is he?

I think he's in Cheong-ju.

But I don't think
he's by himself.

What do you mean?

Oh Young-ji...

Find them.

Whether it be Lee Cho-in
or Oh Young-ji...

Find them now!
