God's Quiz (2010–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - Phantom in the Brain Part 1 - full transcript

While wrapping up their last case, the team finds a body with no brain. Tae-shik investigates to see what is wrong with Jin-woo.

You were selfish.

You had been taking
other people's organs illegally.

But from now on,

I will give you a chance
to donate for a good cause.

JIN-WOO HAN

When I said it's an honor to know you,

I meant it.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICE
OVERSEES RE-AUTOPSIES

AND INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATES
RARE DISEASE CASES.

EPISODE 11

Why would he have told only you
and kept it from us?



I'm sure he planned to tell you.

I'm always with him,
so that's probably why.

But I'm not sure
if I explained everything correctly.

Torture using ultrasonic waves
and ultra-short waves...

It definitely makes sense.

So Dr. Han was right.

It was death due to torture, not SMDS.

Then who was the person that
jumped on you and Detective Ho?

I'm not sure. We're still investigating.

Probably someone connected to Wan-ho Jo.

My goodness.

Where is Dr. Han?

He's not picking up his phone.

And I don't think he's home.



That doesn't sound good.

Anyway, you said the body
from the bag arrived already, right?

Detective Bae.

I'm sorry.

All right. Let's get started.

What's the matter?

There's no brain.

There's no brain?

How?

How is this possible?

It's not anencephaly.
Someone clearly took it out on purpose.

But there's no sign of incision,

so how was it taken out?

He was killed with ultrasonic waves
and his brain was taken as well?

What kind of a man is Wan-ho Jo?

Try calling Dr. Han again!

SEONG-DO

It's an honor

to know you.

You jerk. You're such a drama queen.

Hey.

Eat some food while you're drinking.

What are you smiling for?

What?

What is so hard to handle?

I mean, you should admit
what you have to confess

and fix what needs to be solved.

I don't want to admit it,

and I have nothing to solve.

I also hate you even more.

What?

Why do you hate me?

Jin-woo.

Hey, Jin-woo!

I am you! All right?

If you think about it, we're not abnormal.

We just know how to analyze.

Other people don't know how to do that.

They are all the same.

We're just

crazy.

Just crazy.

You're driving me crazy!

Hey!

We're not simply the two-dimensional,
good-and-evil kind!

Did I ever do something bad?

I have an identity as well.

Identity?

-What on earth are you?
-Me?

Oh, I am...

Well...

I'm the embodiment
of your unpretentious honesty,

desire,

and deviance. Something like those.

I don't need that, so go away.

How can I go away
when I'm already existing like this?

It's too late to change.

Should I just die?

I absolutely have no interest
in living with you.

That's a great idea, right?

But what about that person?

That jerk.

Let's catch him before we die, okay?

He said it's an honor!

That's pretty amazing, right?

You should thank me for all of this.

If I hadn't solved it...

If you hadn't solved it,

nothing would have happened.

What do you mean?

Are you scared?

Or what?

Do you think we'll lose?

Do you think we'll be tortured
to death as well?

Shut up and get away from me, you jerk!

Calm down, okay?

I think I know who it was.

I'll help you.

Let go of me, you jerk!

Leave me alone!

-Mister.
-Don't touch me!

You jerk!

Hello.

Yes, this is he.

Good job.

Darn. I can't even believe this.

He must be crazy.

Talking to the space beside him
and getting angry.

He totally made a scene.

He looked beside him
and talked to himself?

If he was just talking,
where do you think this came from?

He was breaking the dishes
and basically acting like a psycho,

as if he were acting or something.

Well, I'll pay for the damages.

Let's just handle this quietly.

If you need anything, give me a call.

It's all because you were drinking
without me!

This meal is on me,
so you don't have to worry about it.

Even if you don't feel like it,
you should still eat.

I don't know what's going on,

but whatever it is,

let's finish this case together.

We still need to find that girl
who tried to kill me and Walnut.

Detective Bae.

Do you want to die?

What?

This is all for your benefit.

To keep you away

from being found as a corpse

in the middle of a street
with no cause of death.

You think I'm that easy to get?

I don't care
if someone takes my intestines out.

I'm going to find that girl.

She's not the problem now...

Forget it. I'm leaving.

I haven't seen you for a while.
What were you up to?

What's wrong with your hand?

I fell when I was drunk.

Why didn't you tell me

about the evidence of torture?

Don't you trust me?

It's not that at all.

It's not like that.

Fine.

We can talk about this later.

Follow me.

Dr. Han, is this possible?

How can the brain disappear
without any incision?

Cerebral suction through nasal cavity.

Cerebral suction through nasal cavity?

There was a little wound
inside the nasal cavity, right?

Yeah, seemed like something was injected
using a sharp tool.

Right, there were also signs of bleeding.

It's a new method of surgery,

but because of the risk,
it hasn't been approved yet.

Through the nasal cavity,

you can suck the tumor
out of the brain and nothing else.

It's similar to how they created
Egyptian mummies by sticking a stick

through the nose and taking out the brain.

That means

someone suctioned the entire brain
through the nasal cavity?

Yes. But in this case,
the person didn't use surgical tools.

They used non-medical tools
based on the principle of this surgery.

A high pressure tool was used

since the purpose was to kill him.

But Wan-ho Jo isn't even a doctor,
so how did he know that method?

That intrigues me too.

A fund manager wouldn't have known
how to do that.

Right, how did Wan-ho Jo's
brain examination results look?

Due to the side effects
of encephalomeningitis removal,

he had Charles Bonnett syndrome.

Wan-ho Jo's blood test results are out.

We found notrotamine in his blood.

Isn't that the new medicine
for activating brain cells?

Why would that be in his body?

That's right.

I don't think it's something
for a patient with encephalomeningopathy.

Did you know

that people don't catch cold
in the South or North pole?

It's too cold for the cold virus to exist.

The sadder you are,

the colder your heart should be.

Cold enough to freeze anything.

Then, you'll never get infected
by any pain.

Goodness.

It didn't look like he was just drunk.

I was wondering

if Dr. Han

has something going on
that I'm not aware of.

For instance,

a mental illness or something like that?

Did anything happen to Dr. Han recently?

A little bit.

He has been on and off
for the past few days

as if he was bipolar.

So, there's something going on.

Please tell me.

That's the only way I can help Dr. Han.

Are you saying that

Dr. Han's brain

is like a time bomb

that can explode anytime now?

It might have been better
if he had gotten a surgery,

but that would have been
dangerous as well.

Ultrasonic knife.

Notrotamine.

Synapse operation.

Synapse.

Phantom.

Dr. Phantom?

Every brain scientist
on this planet knows him.

I know.

It's been less than a year
since he appeared on the forum

-but he became a huge influence.
-You're right.

He objected to brain scientists' theories.

As you would say,

he's an expert at kicking some butts.

Right.

But no one knows who he actually is.

His age, gender, nationality,
and affiliation. We have no idea.

And that's why his nickname is Phantom.

I wonder who he is.

There are many theories.

Some say he's an individual,

and some say
it's actually a research organization.

Then do you think
Phantom's theories or operation methods

are all possible?

A lot of them seem ideological,

but the theories are almost perfect.

But majority of them
can cause moral controversy.

Things that require
dangerous medical experiment.

By the way, what about Phantom?

It's just when I was doing research
on encephalocystomeningocele,

I stumbled upon his work.

I don't know who it is,

but I would like
to meet that person as well.

Right, I think it was last year,

when I saw an interesting paper
that Phantom wrote.

Do you want to take a look?

Sure.

BRANTEK DEMA PROJECT

JIN-WOO HAN PROFILE
CT SCAN

Wow.

The study
on four rare neurological diseases.

Kluver-Bucy syndrome,
Capgras syndrome, Cotard's syndrome,

and Charles Bonnett syndrome.

Experimented on four guinea pigs
and induced the same symptoms.

The names of these four guinea pigs are

Devil, Noma,

Jeina, and Anton.

Dear Dr. "Jin-woo Han"!

EXCLUSIVE DISCLOSURE!

UNKNOWN NUMBER

I hope my gift was impressive enough.

Are you...

Are you Phantom?

If I say no,

then I would be insulting you, correct?

Why...

Let's talk about the details when we meet.

The date, time and place

will be emailed to you.

Oh, right.

There's a reason why I want to meet you.

For instance,

there's a pitcher who strikes out batters.

No one can hit that pitcher's ball.

But one day, a random batter showed up
and hit a double.

Of course, the pitcher would be curious

if that happened because
of the batter's luck or his actual skill.

And he would be even more curious

if he will be able to hit a home run.

I've taken too much of your sleep time.

Excuse me for today.

Bye.

What are you talking about?

Dr. Han?

Report to me the places he visits
and the things he does.

Why do I need to monitor Dr. Han?

You're not monitoring him.
You're protecting him.

Protecting?

-Does that mean he's in danger?
-Just monitor him for now.

I'll explain later. Hurry!

Dr. Han!

You didn't hear the news, right?

What news?

They just received four bodies
and none of them have brains.

No brains?

Any signs of incision?

I asked that question as well,

and there are signs of incision.

And the cause of death is clear.

Suffocation from gas.

Who are the victims?

Illegal organ traders.
They were found in an empty lot.

Seong-do.

Can you show me the victims' photos?

IDENTITY RECORD OF THE DEAD

Are you wondering
if they are connected to Wan-ho Jo's case?

Jeez. I don't think
they are related though.

I have something to tell you.

I have to meet Phantom.

I also need to know why he's doing this.

In order to do that,

I need to solve this.

You should have yelled out an SOS earlier.

It doesn't look that hard.

Let's do it.

The password must be initials.

First keyword hint,

Nobel Prize in Mathematics.

Nobel Prize in Mathematics.

However,

there is no Math category in Nobel Prize.

There are two theories.

First,

that guy Nobel

and Loeffler, a mathematician,
were worst enemies.

So he didn't want to create a Math award.

Because if he did,
Loeffler would've gotten it.

He didn't want that,
so he didn't make that award.

Second,

Nobel had a mathematician friend.

And this jerk ran off with his girlfriend.

So he tried to find a way
to get back at him.

And he decided
not to create the Math award.

That's why he didn't make it.
What a loser.

The common thing they share is jealousy.

-Jealousy.
-Okay.

J.

Second password hint.

One nation. Seven peoples.

One nation. Seven peoples.

America?

A multicultural nation or something?

No.

I think this is a symbol of a country.

Really?

All right then, symbol.

Symbol.

Nation.

People.

National flower.

What else? National flag.

-Flag?
-Right.

National flag.

A flag that combines several countries.

Look. This is the Norwegian flag.

If you draw squares like this,

this is the flag of Indonesia.

Poland.

Finland.

France.

Netherlands.

Thailand, and lastly,

Norway. That makes seven countries.

You're right!

One nation, seven peoples! Norway!

J.

N.

Wait.

Number one, Devil.

Number two, Noma.

Number three, Jeina.

Number four, Anton.

D, N, J, A.

JULY 27TH 2012, 11:00 A.M.
DONGSEON BASEBALL STADIUM

How did you figure out?

"July 27th, 2012, 11:00 a.m.

Dongseon baseball stadium."

-Let's go, offense! Go team, go!
-Let's go, offense! Go team, go!

The team on defense now

is usually good,
but I guess today is not their day.

If a bad team sucks,
people think it's just business as usual,

but when a good team sucks,
it feels like a big deal.

It hurts their ego.

Why are you doing such a thing?

Such a thing?
That's an interesting way to put it.

Well,

that's similar with unapproved research.

You manipulated synapse,

tortured,

and you suctioned a human's brain
then call that research?

That's inhumane. A murder.

I can't accept that.

What are you going to do
if you can't accept it?

Are you going to report me to the police?

I know that's not going to work.

That's why I'm trying to stop you myself.

If you can't get ahead of me,

you won't be able to stop me.

The brainwave video I sent you,

doesn't that already show
the gap between us?

You used another trick for that.

Saving neuron signals periodically

is only possible in theory.

It's impossible in reality.

Yes. For now.

But, ironically,

it's possible once you're dead.

When you die under a lot of stress,

neuron signal's chemical reaction
leaves marks like burns.

So I stimulate those marks

and copy them
by saving the signals electronically.

When I stimulate your neuron
with those copied signals,

you can visualize their last memories
before they die.

Of course,

it's not in high-definition.

Why are you doing something this crazy?

Look. Two outs. Bases loaded.

Let's watch this and talk later.

Hey, young lady.

A young student shouldn't smoke.

Just leave me alone.

I'll just smoke one.

Well,

even if you're frustrated and tired,

you still can't smoke!

What's wrong?

Is everything okay?

Hey...

Their last out was a waste.

Right. Where were we?

The reason.

The reason.

I'm more of an exorcist than a scientist.

An exorcist that gets rid of all types
of ghosts in your mind.

It's not right
to call the unexpected reactions

of the neurons
and cerebral nerves as ghosts.

It's not supernatural,

and you also can't control it.

What you can control is
a chemical reaction,

but what you can't control
is supernatural.

What a sick brain needs

is proper treatment,
not some strange spells.

I thought your brain
had pretty intense ghosts.

Brantek people were pretty stupid.

Remote control experiment.

It's so dumb and cheesy,
I can't even talk about it.

How did you trust them
to inject vaccine in your body?

I'm not completely done yet.

I'm still developing
more methods of exorcism.

Of course, everything
I'm doing right now is a secret.

You're letting me off

even though I've discovered your secret?

You could have killed me
when you came into my room.

You didn't seem like someone
I could kill just like that.

Then why did you let me live?

Why?

It's very clear.

I'm trying my best.

but my friends don't acknowledge me.

They bully me.

What a mean thing to do!
Bullying a pretty and nice girl like you.

It's all right.

When you go to college, you'll be
the most popular one. Don't worry.

Oh, I forgot.

Goodness!

Wow.

Your camera is awesome!

You shouldn't touch it.

DR. JANG

Right. When was the last time
you got a health examination?

I'm not sure. Let's see...

Two or three months ago?

I'm sure everything is fine,
but I'll examine you just in case.

In-depth scanning as well.

What's so funny?

Darn it.

I'm fed up with this.

Who told you?

Chief?

Detective Bae?

Jeez, you guys are quick.

So quick.

Old sayings are never wrong.

If your tail is too long,
you're going to get caught.

What? You think if I get an examination

and if you worry about me,

then it won't become your fault?

-Jin-woo.
-Jin-woo.

Jin-woo.

He's calling you, man! Not me, you!

If you really care for Jin-woo,

then leave him alone, okay?

What we need isn't some treatment.

We need to be left alone, understood?

Whoever you are,

your personality doesn't matter to me.

You are

-my only...
-That's enough! Jeez!

Do you know what's hard for me right now?

The fact that I have to pretend
to forgive,

even though I really can't do it! Got it?

-A young man?
-Yes.

I was too far to clearly see him,

but they didn't look too close
or anything.

Any photos?

What?

What happened?

Wait a minute.

Sir.

I think the photos disappeared.

Do you really want
to go back to accounting?

Get your act together!

I'm sorry.

Sir!

I found out who that girl was.

I thought she looked familiar.

It was the nationals, eight years ago.

I was representing Gyeonggi province
and she was Chungbuk's representative.

Back then, she was good and pretty.
A lot of guys were hitting on her.

What's her bio?

Sang-rin Seo, 28 years old.

She made it to the national reserve team,

but after she had brain surgery
due to an accident,

she quit tae kwon do.

What accident?

That's not listed.

Where is she right now?

She was working for a security team,

but her boss sexually harassed her,
so she quit.

She reported it to the police as well.

All right, we have to get her then.

I think she left a long time ago.

The neighbors said
she hasn't been home for months.

Maybe she figured it out
and went into hiding.

Where are we going to find her?

You said she had brain surgery, right?

I checked Sang-rin Seo's medical records.

She got a brain injury
after getting hit by her coach,

so she had to get surgery.

What the hell? Her coach beat her up?

Anything else?

She was treated for Capgras syndrome
two years after her surgery.

Capgras syndrome.

That's a very sad illness.

Capgras.

Is that the duck?
No, you mean the goose liver dish?

Do you purposely not understand?

That's foie gras.
But we're talking about Capgras.

To simplify it, the brain damage

causes one to lose the feelings
for the people around them,

even though
the person still remembers those people.

It happens when the right brain
which handles emotion is damaged.

So does that mean the intimacy
with parents and families is also lost?

-Does it?
-Yes.

It's usually portrayed
as a romantic thing in movies or books,

but it's definitely an illness.

Hold on.

Didn't you say
Wan-ho Jo had something else

other than brain surgery?

He had Charles Bonnett syndrome
after encephalocystomeningocele removal.

Both had rare diseases
after their brain surgery.

-What was it? Charles Bonnett...
-Stop asking!

There's something like that.

So the two suspects share similarities.

Neurological disease
due to a brain surgery.

We're not solving anything here.

They are both murderers
and patients with rare diseases.

How come you are all so useless?

You never solve a thing.
You always struggle.

I always have to point things out for you,
so you can finally figure it out.

Dr. Han! You're being extremely rude!
The chief is here!

Forget it.

It's all because I'm not good enough.

We'll take care of this,
so go home and get some rest.

That's what I planned anyway. All right?

Damn, I'm so exhausted.

What is wrong with him?

I don't know if he's joking or not.

It may be

your last coffee, I guess.

That's all right.

Because being alive is our habit,

we're afraid of death,

even though death
gets rid of all pain sometimes.

Thank you for everything, Noma.

No, I'm the one who should thank you.

Please send my regards to Jeina for me.

Okay.

BACKGROUND CHECK

AUTOPSY REPORT

JU-HYUNG YANG AUTOPSY REPORT

Do you know what's hard for me right now?

The fact that I have to pretend
to forgive,

even though I really can't do it!

You never solve a thing.
You always struggle.

I always have to point things out for you,
so you can finally figure it out.

Then why did you let me live?

The reason.

It's very clear.

Try to destroy me. Completely.

I think you're the only one
who is capable.

You know nothing about me.

I know you very well.

Anyway, if you destroy me,

I'll admit all of my faults and disappear.

If you fail,

my plans will surely go smoothly,
and I'll continue to get rid of ghosts.

It's hard to decide, isn't it?

I'll give you some time to think.

If you change your mind,

you can come and see me anytime.

IN-GAK SEO, BARISTA

IN-GAK SEO, BARISTA

Sir! We found Sang-rin Seo.

Let's go!

Sang-rin, don't do this.
Please let me live.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Who is the hostage?

Sang-rin's stepfather.

He was beating up her mother
when she barged in,

-so she brought him here.
-Sang-rin.

Hey, Sang-rin.

You know me, right?

Please don't do this.

I know what you've been through
and what you had to deal with.

I'll definitely punish your stepfather.

So drop the knife.

That's not going to change anything, okay?

Sang-rin?

Good decision.

Sang-rin Seo!

Hey!

What? It's you again.

We meet again.

-We meet often.
-Right.

Anyway, what brings you here?

There was a lot I wanted to tell you.

It's too bad.

What's good here?

Huh?

Phantom.

How should I completely destroy him?

Battling against two people

sounds a bit unfair to me.

Why is he chasing after Dr. Han?

This doesn't make sense.

No hurting or killing yourself
without my consent, okay?

You jerk!

Seems like someone is seriously hurt.

Do you think what I've done

was just a joke?
