God's Quiz (2010–…): Season 4, Episode 8 - Superman - full transcript

The team investigates the sudden death of a man who is immune to pain.

Is it you, Kyung-hee?

I'm here, Jae-joon.

Jae-joon?

Excuse me for a second.

Mr. Lee!

-Jae-joon!
-Wake up!

-Jae-joon!
-Hold on!

What do we do?

Jae-joon!

-Jae-joon!
-Detective Kang!

Calm down, Detective Kang!



PATIENT TRANSPORT

Do you know that prosecutor?

What should we do?

Should we hand his case over
to the district station

or we take his case?

Let's just give her some time.

Just for a moment.

Did you find anything?

Detective Kang.

Detective Kang?

Look at me.

Cry as much as you want.

You can grieve as much as you want.

But starting tomorrow,
you need to get yourself together.



You must do so to catch the murderer.
Can you do that?

This happened because of me.

Because of me...

Why would you say that?

You've done nothing wrong.

It's not your fault.

The fire at Ohyong Paper Manufacturer
in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do,

has been put out.

And four employees are being rescued
from the collapsed building.

-Due to the lack of...
-Who are you?

I'm on an errand for Mr. Oh.

I'm here to collect the money.

I don't have any. Leave!

Tell him I'll give it to him
when I have some.

When would that be?

How should I know?

I'll write you the repayment date.

Make sure you pay it back on time.

Come on! Okay, I got it!

You did a good job.

Woo-chul!

Woo-chul! Wake up!

-Quickly!
-Woo-chul!

Remove the equipment!

Woo-chul!

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICE
OVERSEES RE-AUTOPSIES

AND INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATES
RARE DISEASE CASES.

EPISODE 8

Now, let's try to go through this slowly
from the beginning.

First of all,

Prosecutor Lee gave you
confidential documents on a case

and asked for your advice.

A few days later, he took them back.
Am I right?

Yes.

He said the case was closed.

But according to the database
in the district police station,

that case never existed.

However, there was a picture of the victim

in the case file he gave you.

Right.

Then...

Why do you think he gave you
the case file?

I thought it was because the case
involved the disabled and rare diseases.

Didn't you find it strange
that he just showed up in ten years

and asked you to help him on a case?

I didn't think in that way back then.

All right. Anyway,

bad things happened to you
while you had the files.

Also, the moment those files
left your hands,

Prosecutor Lee was killed.

That's right.

Detective Kang.

Don't take this the wrong way.

This is just my assumption.

Could it be possible
that he tried to use you?

Use me?

That case file was a ticking bomb.

Why would he ask you to look into
such a dangerous case?

That means he handed the bomb over to you.

Because no one would know when
or where this bomb would go off again.

Are you Detective Kyung-hee Kang?

And you are?

I'm Detective Hyung-chul Lee
from the prosecutors' office.

Was there anything else he said?

No.

All he said was to meet me.

I see.

Then why did you go with her, Jin-woo Han?

I just kept her company.

We're dating.

Do you know if Jae-joon Lee
was being threatened by someone

or was on bad terms?

It hasn't even been a month since we met,
which was ten years ago.

How could I know about his personal life?

Excuse me, but...

Instead of questioning us,

aren't you supposed to go
where the evidence leads you?

You haven't run the DNA test yet

and even done an autopsy either.

Still, he died while trying
to meet you guys!

Which definitely makes the two of you
our number one suspects.

Look.

Hello?

Okay.

What do you mean?

The prosecution took everything?

Yes.

Identification reports, crime scene notes
and even the evidence.

Everything was taken.

Gosh, just when we
were being questioned...

This is ridiculous.

I said that we'd take the case

but we got rejected.

Which department from the prosecution's
office was it?

That I don't know.

They just barged in and told us and left.

I need to go there.

Detective Kang!

I'll go check it now.

You should just take care of the incident
that has been reported today.

He's right. Leave it to him.

Let's think about something else for now.

Let's go.

Okay, Yangju, Gyeonggi-do.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Aren't you visiting your ex-girlfriend
way too often?

That's not it.

It looked like you were writing something.

Did your ex-girlfriend change her address
or phone number?

It's really not that.

Okay. You don't have to get angry.

You don't have to embarrass me.

Idiot.

Woo-chul Lee, 31 years old.

He's a firefighter

and died immediately after coming back
from extinguishing a fire.

-The cause of death?
-Pulmonary embolism.

A BLOCKAGE OF AN ARTERY
IN THE LUNGS BY BLOOD CLOTS OR AIR

This occurs

when blood clots clog
the artery in the lungs.

This itself isn't so dangerous

but it can be fatal
based on your surroundings.

Especially like the scene of fire.

We work for the government as well

but firefighters are truly amazing people.

Gosh. How tragic.

When do we think this occurred?

Just like the professor said,

it's related to the fire
in Ohyong Paper Manufacture.

I think the cause of it is the rescuing of
the employees more than the fire itself.

The building completely collapsed

that they rescued people in a space
even one person couldn't easily enter.

How long was the search?

Approximately ten hours.

Gosh, crunching themselves in a small area

to rescue people for ten hours
and inhaling poisonous gas.

It's quite enough to cause his illness.

Could small areas be a reason?

Well, there are many reasons.

Other than fractures and stroke,

it can happen when you don't move
your body for a long period of time.

It's also caused by obesity,
heart problems and cancer.

And sometimes it happens when
you're on a plane for too long.

Other than those situations,
it can also occur when your blood can't

circulate due to being cramped up
in a small area.

Why was this case brought to us?

Pulmonary embolism due to blood clots
was found, however,

they need to know if this is significant
enough to cause pulmonary embolism.

Basically, they want to know

if something else affected this
or if it's related to a rare disease.

For today, make sure you're sincerer.

A moment of silence.

So there are contusions
and lacerations all over the body.

There's not a sound bone in his body.

Each of these scars are a medal.

Medals for saving people's lives.

You're right.

I don't know why they're so eager
to not give them a real medal.

Now, just like the preliminary autopsy,
pulmonary embolism was found.

But it's difficult to say that
that was the cause of death.

With this amount of blood clots,

it could've caused difficulty
in breathing.

But it's not enough
to cause a sudden shock

unless something else happened to him
before he died.

Is there no problem with his heart?

So far, the heart seems to be fine.

By the looks of it,
his brain seems to be fine too.

But let's still run a tissue sample,
just in case.

Let's take a look at his back.

-Okay.
-Help me out.

His back?

To see if it has something to do
with a spine and spinal cord trauma

if it's buried like this.

Wait a second. This scar.

It looks like a really old scar

and it's deep.

It may be that he was stabbed
or struck with something.

Okay.

Chief, let's do another spinal examination
just on this part.

This doesn't look related to this case.

Still, just once.

-Si-woo.
-Yes?

Get the sample and MRI ready

and extract the spinal fluid and send it
for examination too.

Got it.

Tell us the exact reason, sir.

Don't you think we have the right
to know the reason?

We're the ones who found
Jae-joon Lee's body

and conducted
the preliminary investigation.

What I am saying is...

Hello? Are you there?

Shit.

What the hell...

Why won't they tell us?

Can't you tell?

Why are they being like this
all of a sudden?

A prosecutor was stabbed in his neck
and died.

The case surely puts them
in an awkward position.

I'm sure they want to handle it themselves
so word doesn't get out.

Quietly.

-Gosh.
-What the hell...

WOO-CHUL LEE

NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

He was a great guy.

He was committed to integrity
and took initiative all the time.

Every one of us was indebted to him.

If one of us collapsed
while putting out a fire,

Woo-chul was the one
who always stayed there risking his life

to protect that person until the very end.

Did he ever mention that he was sick?

No.

He was healthy.

We even called him Mr. Rock-hard.

Even when he was hit, got cuts and burned,

he never seemed to be in pain.

At first,

we thought it was because
he endured pain really well.

He never seemed to be in pain.

He shook it off quickly and got back up.

Hey, Woo-min!

Who is he?

He's Woo-chul's brother.

Is this why you worked so hard?
To die like this?

What did I tell you?

I told you nothing good will come out
of you doing good deeds.

Woo-min.

Stop being so rude to your brother.

Am I wrong?

If this is not a useless death,
then what would you call it?

You son of a...

Captain, we shouldn't do this
at the funeral.

I always knew that you are rude
and thoughtless,

but how could you say that?

How do I get the death benefit?

What?

His family gets it, right?

You son of a bitch!

Captain!

Stop it now.

You may be his little brother,
but this is too much.

Too much?

Who the hell are you, bitch?

What? Bitch?

Who do you think you are?

What a rude and pathetic guy you are.

I don't know why you keep meddling in
my family business and talking shit.

Hey,

can I talk to you outside?

Hey!

If you brought me out here,
you should say something.

What do you think you're doing
at your brother's funeral?

That's your brother in there!

I'm doing whatever I want
because it's my brother's funeral.

That's enough.

No matter how hard you try,
he won't get it.

What?

Are you scared to beat me?

Are you?

Beat me up as much as you want
and see if I'd go down on my knees.

Hey.

What are you doing?

So stop bothering me.

I'm the mad dog among all other mad dogs.

Chief, I need to go to the headquarters.

Why?

There's an autopsy I'd like to watch.

Which autopsy?

It's for the one died of poisoning
and electric shock.

Okay, you can go.

Learn well.

Okay.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
WOO-CHUL LEE AND WOO-MIN LEE

His background check came back

and he is the deceased's
biological brother.

I really hoped that he wasn't.

Their parents died when Woo-chul was nine.

They ran away from the orphanage.

No relatives?

They might have,
but no one probably took them in.

So what does that brother do for living?

We call him

a gangster.

He's a criminal with two previous
convictions for blackmailing.

He works for loan sharks.

And it looks like he still does.

No wonder.

It's not like he's a stone-plate
grilled squid or something.

I could tell the moment he burned his skin
with a lighter like this.

There are a lot of petty criminals
like him.

Those who blackmail through self-injury.

Gosh, mosquitoes are everywhere.

Let's see.

Pain killers, muscle pain reliever,

contusions and lacerations.

I can feel just how much it must've hurt
for him by the amount of pills.

What is that?

TO MY LITTLE BROTHER, WOO-MIN

Woo-min.

Wow, this...

It's embarrassing to talk alone.

You know

why I'm leaving you this, right?

You never know what could happen
as a firefighter.

So I might leave you
without saying anything.

That's why I'm leaving you this message.

Woo-min.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't take good care of you when
you were little because I had to work.

I couldn't take you to the doctors
when you got sick.

And you're still not doing so well.

And you need to go to a hospital.

I never said this before

but I'll say it
for the first and last time.

I love you, my little brother.

I'm not sure if his brother
understands how his older brother felt.

But the younger brother...

he must have been sick.

Right. He even said he needed
to go to a hospital.

And he's blind in one eye.

RIGHT NOW

Si-woo.

I naturally thought he'd be here.
Where is he?

ILSUNG SERVICES

Do they look like the police?

Take one guy to film it
and take down all the signs.

Don't be seen.

Give me a shot too.

Drink it yourself.

Don't annoy me.

Fine. I'll pour myself.

What's with your eye? Did you get hurt?

What's it to you?

If you don't want to tell me, forget it.

Leave me alone.

Leave!

When we met during the day,

you didn't look like you were in pain
when you burnt yourself with a lighter.

Do you normally endure pain that well?

I told you.

I'm a mad dog.

It really doesn't hurt?

It doesn't hurt,
which is why I burn myself.

So that's how you collect money.

You're really annoying!

I told you to go!

Why did you meet Woo-chul's
little brother again?

Just...

No reason.

It seems like you're really emotional
about the case.

-Am I?
-Yes.

I can tell just by looking at you now.

Now you're really interested?

You're right.

Somehow, I get emotional with this case.

I asked myself why.

I think it's because
I'm an only child and all alone.

I thought to myself often
when I was little.

How I wish I had a brother or sister.

How reassuring that would be!

True. It's better to have someone
than to be alone.

But this little rascal

has such a wonderful big brother
like Woo-chul Lee

and yet he doesn't know that.

I want to make him realize.

But maybe I'm overstepping.

No, you're not.

His brother may not be in this world

but he still needs to know

that someone very special to him left.

Right?

Anyway, whatever happens,

we still need to eat.

What would you like to eat? Lamb skewers?

Lamb skewers!

I have to go meet Ki-yong Nam.

There's something I need to tell him.

Well, I guess I'll have
to give him this one then.

Let's always be careful.

Let's keep our guards up and pay attention
to our surroundings, okay?

-Okay!
-Let's go.

What is this?

It's all there.

The victim and an anonymous letter
related to the disposal of waste matter.

It doesn't seem like a classified case.

That's what constantly bothered me.

The time when there was a fight at
the gamja stew restaurant is a lie, right?

You were involved in this since then.

So why are you showing me this now?

I'm giving you an opportunity.

It's too much and too dangerous
for just me and Dr. Han to figure it out.

This is an unauthorized investigation

so we will need an ally.

A trusted ally.

You don't trust me.

That's why I'm giving you a chance
so that I can trust you.

Where shall we start?

The service business in the picture.

I'll look into the anonymous letter.

All right.

First, let's bring in our team.

They know how to keep a secret.

Okay.

Be careful.

Always carry your gun.

Si-woo.

Where have you been all day?

I'm sorry.

It took longer back at the headquarters.

You weren't just playing around?

Of course not.

Woo-chul Lee has a younger brother.

Search for his medical records.

All his medical history
and anything related.

Okay. Got it.

Something is off.

Something is really off lately.

-Hi, I'm off work!
-Hello.

You're really weird.

Excuse me?

You didn't go to the headquarters,
did you?

Hey, junior.

Do you know it shows all over your face
when you lie?

Me?

I must have been right.

I was just feeling you out.

I don't like it when we are being
secretive toward each other.

RECENT CASES HANDLED,
JAE-JOON LEE, 31, PROSECUTOR

HANDWRITING ANALYSIS ON THE ANONYMOUS
LETTER: MENTAL INSTABILITY AND FEAR

Did you get a chance to look into
Ilsung Services?

I did.

They shut down a year ago,
but the CEO's whereabouts is unknown.

Then, what about Seok-nam Lee
who wrote the letter?

I'm trying all possible means
to locate him, but he's still missing.

Even his family doesn't know where he is.

Then, I think we first need to confirm
if Seok-nam Lee is alive or not.

Also, I feel like we need
to take a deeper look at the waste bins

-we found at the factory.
-Why should we?

You can see in the picture
that the symbol is in black.

Do the colors have meanings?

Yes, black is for general medical waste.

Yellow is for hazardous medical waste.

And Red is for infectious medical waste

which is the most dangerous one
because it is contagious.

Then the bins at the factory are
for less dangerous type of waste.

Yes. They probably consist of
leftover pharmaceuticals

such as intravenous fluids.

But we should focus on the fact

that all medical wastes must be handled
by special waste management companies.

In short, not any waste management company
can be involved in the process.

That means it's illegal for them
to have those bins.

Yes. So, as in the photo,

they put the bins in front of the factory
as if they wanted everybody to notice.

You're right.

The city officials
couldn't have missed them.

Assuming that the city officials
let this go,

we can come up with two possibilities.

First off,

Ilsung Services might only offer
waste bin management service,

not waste disposal service.

What about the second possibility?

The bins were supposed to be hidden,

but someone intentionally put them
out there

so they could be seen.

Then,

there's a high possibility
that it was done by Seok-nam Lee.

I think we need to collect
those bins first.

Indeed.

After then, we need to find out
what were in those bins.

Got it.

The test results for Woo-chul Lee
are back.

According to his spinal fluid analysis,

one side of his spinal cord was damaged.

What else?

We also found a sign of spinal deformity.

But he didn't have any genetic issue.

If he had spinal deformity,
shouldn't he have suffered paralysis?

I'm sure he did.

But how was he able to work
as a firefighter with the symptom?

Anyway, my assumptions
were completely wrong.

What were your assumptions?

-Well...
-Dr. Han.

-We found Woo-min Lee's medical records.
-Thank you.

Let me guess.

Does he have CIPA?

You're correct.

He had been getting treatment
for a long time.

But he stopped getting treatment
since last year.

If it's CIPA...

Congenital insensitivity
to pain with anhidrosis.

That's why he couldn't feel any pain
and harmed himself.

Yes. But I thought

Woo-chul Lee would have
the same disease as his brother's.

His colleagues said that Woo-chul Lee
had high tolerance for pain.

Plus, since the disease itself
is thought to be hereditary,

it could have been passed down to the two.

Yes, but I was wrong.

We couldn't find any sign of mutation

in Woo-chul Lee's genes

even though CIPA is caused
by gene mutation.

If Woo-chul Lee had CIPA,

could anything else be the cause
of his death?

CIPA patients can't sweat easily.

In other words, they can't transmit heat.

If a firefighter in a turnout gear

was working in an extremely hot area,

what do you think would happen to him?

Acute shock from overheating.

Exactly. He could have died
from hyperthermia.

But still, the exact cause
is still unknown.

Acute shock.

Excuse me.

Woo-chul Lee's medical records
just got in.

Thanks.

Let's take a look.

REQUIRE CONTINUOUS TREATMENT

Orthopedics?

Isophamine and steroids.

Steroids...

Give me the money!

The funeral is over now,

so we should wrap things up now.

What's taking so long?

We do not take care of the matter.

It's taken care of by the government.
What can we do about it?

Are you trying to stop them
from giving me the money?

-What did you say, you punk?
-You...

and those who are sitting here,

you'd better think carefully

and don't die like my brother.

Leave.

Leave now, you punk!

Give me the money!

Who cares about the money?

We don't work for money.

Don't let it bother you so much.

We all know that.

We know that you firefighters all work

with sincerity and a sense of duty.

Thank you.

By the way, what brought you here?

Last time, you mentioned

Woo-chul Lee didn't seem to be sick.

Right.

And that he didn't feel much pain.

-Yes.
-Then,

did he also endure heat well?

He did.

When opening hot valves,

we had gloves on
and we still couldn't turn it.

But Woo-chul opened it
as if it was nothing.

He didn't think it was hot
the moment he touched it?

No.

There was something odd.

What was that?

When he touched something hot or sharp,

he usually used one hand.

It takes both hands to open a valve

but he only used one.

FIREFIGHTER, WOO-CHUL LEE

What? The signs were gone?

Yes, they only took the waste signs.

They didn't take the bins?

We need to check its contents.

There was only old food waste in there.

It was used to make feed.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

I was a kitchen police back in the army,
so I'm positive.

Then they stuck those signs
on the wrong bins.

Then the problem is not the contents.

Their focus was on making
someone else see this.

He's right. They wanted this to be seen.

And someone who knew about this
took the signs off.

But those black signs.

You said that they are only
for regular wastes.

Come to think of it,

the signs on the bins that were
near the body were black.

If the contents are nothing,

then it's not related
to the death of the victim.

It could be.

But if the person who stuck those signs
on the bins

didn't know anything
about the color differences

and only did it for show, it makes sense.

Regardless what was in there.

Chief!

About the CEO of the Ilsung company...

He was missing but was found dead
four days ago

in Worak Mountain.

-Found dead?
-Yes.

It seems like he fell while hiking

but since he was deep in the mountains,
they just found him.

More and more people are dying.

We need to quickly look for Seok-nam Lee
who sent the anonymous letter.

Yes, Si-woo.

I found the number
of Woo-min Lee's doctor.

It's been over a year
since he came to the hospital.

I took a look at his records

and it looked like he was seriously ill.

That's right.

He needs to continue with his treatment

but he didn't want to.

But that means he would get worse.

Woo-min Lee's case was bad,
but his older brother was more serious.

-His older brother?
-Yes.

He thought that Woo-min had
the same disease as him.

So the older brother thinks
that he has the same illness?

Which is why I told him
to bring his brother quickly.

But I never heard from them since.

As you know, medical expenses

for CIPA are extremely expensive.

For one family to have
two of these cases...

It would be an extreme burden.

Still looking for that guy, Seok-nam Lee?

Yes. I just can't seem to find him.

Cell phone, bank accounts,
credit card records...

There are none.

His e-mail address was in the letter, no?

I was going to do that
but then thought we'd get chased.

And we might get exposed.

True.

Is there any other way?

Detective Kang!

The guy that attacked you.

Yes, did you find something?

His face was clearly caught
on the elevator security camera.

So I searched him in
the headquarters database

but there's no match.

And the last time there was a fight,

his fingerprints were found
on the wall of the parking lot.

You checked it out?

Yes, but still no match.

No match? How could that be?

Foreigner.

Foreigner?

There's no record or fingerprints.

No wonder.

That's how he can move about
during the day.

He can move around a hospital
with security cameras and stab people.

With his skills, he might be
a professional killer.

Then looking at the whole picture,
it's likely that he killed Jae-joon Lee.

Should we inform the prosecutors
of this or not?

Not yet. We still need to continue.

What?

Well, that's no good.

I think you need to be more careful.

I have to be somewhere right now.

Yes.

Okay, we'll talk more later.

KKOT-DWEJI DAILY INSTALLMENT LOANS

This annoying little...

Take this and get off my back.

Hey.

What? Why are you telling me this now?

REMITTANCE

Yes.

I'm on my way now.

I just absolutely hate it when I choke up

while eating sponge cakes.

If you're in the money lending business,
don't you make a lot of money?

Then you should eat
a decent meal for dinner.

Why do you keep following me?

I wasn't following you.

It was a coincidence that I saw you here.

A coincidence?

Why?

You worried that I might take
all of my brother's compensation

so you're keeping an eye on me?

Did someone ask you to?

What can I do with that?

That money

will be received by the person
who should get it according to the law.

Then why do you keep...

Go get treated first quickly.

It will get worse if you quit
during treatment.

What the hell...

It's not like I killed or stole things
from someone.

Why are you digging into my personal life?

What am I, an idol singer's stalking fan?

Who says I looked into your personal life?

They why the hell
are you doing this to me?

Because I think you'll look like
a human being if I continue to see you!

From the moment I saw you,
you didn't even look like a human being.

But then again, you still don't look
like a human being even now.

The way to make someone
who's not a human into a human

by giving them advice and scolding them.

I just don't think
that's the right way to do it.

Looking at them like a human being
even if they don't act like one

is the best way, I think.

I think I've seen you enough

so I won't follow you anymore.

WOO-CHUL LEE, 31,
FIREFIGHTER IN GYEONGGI-DO

Spinal cord paralysis.

Then, it's not CIPA.

Asymmetric paralysis...

Okay.

Hello? Detective Ku.

Take a deep breath.

Well,

I have a favor to ask.

Okay. Ask me anything.

Well,

I want to run a background check
on someone.

What? On who?

Because this is such a rare case,

it took me some time
to put things together.

Woo-chul Lee was suffering from
an even rarer disease than CIPA.

Tell us.

Woo-chul Lee suffered from

Brown-Séquard syndrome.

PARALYSIS ON ONE SIDE OF THE BODY

Brown-Séquard syndrome is...

There are only 1,000 cases
around the world.

Right. Brown-Séquard syndrome
is an extremely rare spinal disorder.

It's normally caused by the damage
to one side of the spinal cord.

Then, won't the entire body get paralyzed?

No, because this disease is so rare,

only the side of the damaged spinal cord
gets paralyzed.

That's why Woo-chul Lee couldn't feel pain

on one side of his body
because it was paralyzed.

Right. It's called asymmetrical paralysis.

Normally, this occurs

when there's a serious injury
to the neck or back.

Along with the paralysis,

the patient would experience
declined sensitivity to heat and pain.

The symptoms are almost identical
to those of CIPA

except for its cause and affected areas.

Yes. And also,

this disease is incubated in the body
for a very long time

even if the injury that caused
the spinal damage heals.

So the disease made Woo-chul Lee
a good fireman.

In the end, yes.

But it also led him to death.

How is the disease related to
the cause of death?

Well,

I told you last time that if he had CIPA,

he might have died of hyperthermia.

That is one of the causes,

but there was something more critical.

This disease constantly degenerates
and weakens muscles.

Also, it causes poor blood circulation.

But up to a certain point,

the patient can't recognize the symptoms.

If he had serious circulatory problems...

There would've been problems
with level of oxygen and carbon dioxide...

Finally, acute respiratory failure
might have occurred.

Because of the fire rescue,

Woo-chul Lee, who was under
extreme stress for ten hours,

must have experienced
serious circulatory problem

as he let go of stress and relaxed.

And thus, he died of respiratory failure.

Goodness. How sad.

Only if he knew about his disease...

No.

He knew about his condition.

When I looked into
his past medical records,

he was prescribed
with high dosage of steroids.

Of course, this steroid treatment
is still up for debate.

And the pills we found in his locker

were pain killers for the spine.

If he had been treated, the doctor
would have told him about the risks.

Then what happened?

This disease is not covered
by cost-sharing plan.

Therefore, it costs a lot
to treat the disease.

That means he didn't get treated
to save money

for his little brother.

Yes. Also,

the case was the same for Woo-min Lee.

What do you mean?

Why did you ask me to come
all the way here?

You are being nice compared
to the last time we met.

I asked you why you called me here!

Because there's something
you need to know.

Your brother may have passed away,

but you should know exactly why he died.

Mr. Lee.

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

I'll explain it all.

You've been mistaken

about your brother's disease all along.

Of course, the symptoms were similar
to yours.

And...

I apologize for misunderstanding you.

Yes, you were a human being
from the beginning.

The place you rushed to send the money
two days ago.

it was a foundation
for treating rare diseases in children

which you had donated for a long time.

So I looked into it.

There was a kid that needed
an emergency surgery that day

but needed money to do it.

And because of the huge lack in donations,

you sent the money to help pay the bills.

How's the kid?

It's a foundation that has helped

with those who were sick and suffered
since they were little like you.

You donated money to them monthly

and you sent
your brother's compensation to them.

Not only the records for remittance,

but the record on your savings account
was very interesting.

SUPERMAN WOO-MIN LEE

Looking at your account records,

there was a donator
under the name of Superman.

That was Woo-chul Lee, right?

Your older brother.

Were you

saving money
to treat your brother's illness?

While you were eating bread
at parks for your meals?

His illness

was because of

the damage to his spinal cord?

Yes.

It was from way back.

I only had my brother.

The only person I had was my brother.

I brought some shoes.

When we were in the orphanage,
we almost got adopted separately.

Thank you.

And I didn't like that.

-So I asked my brother if we could leave.
-Hey, Woo-min.

He didn't want to be separated away
from me, so he left as well.

-Since then, he lived for me.
-Eat a lot.

Hey, wake up!

The world was cruel as we expected.

No, it was way worse.

It was like that no matter where we went.

-Hey, get up.
-Stand up.

-Like this...
-Get...

-Why are you hitting my brother?
-But he was fearless.

-What?
-He was scared on the inside

-Why do you care?
-but he never showed it.

While we lived like that

I caught an eye disease.

I scratched it all night long
because it itched so much.

I didn't even realize that I was damaging
the inside of my eyes.

Woo-min, stop scratching.

Are you okay?

-But I couldn't feel the pain.
-What do I do?

We went to the hospital when he saw it,
but it was too late.

Which is how I lost my eye.

But I never blamed my brother.

However

he lived his entire life with guilt.

It wasn't his fault.

What day is it today?

Now I think of it, we were kids.

Hello? Is anyone out there?

-Is anyone there?
-Very little kids.

But that kid always sacrificed everything

to protect his little brother.

It won't open.

But then...

Woo-min!

Woo-min! Are you okay?

I'm okay.

-He got seriously injured.
-Are you okay?

Yes, I'm good.

The injury that made him sick
for the rest of his life happened then.

Are we going to die now?

No.

The firefighters will come soon
to rescue us.

But my brother always smiled.

He never cried.

When I think about it, my older brother

was always like a superman to me.

No matter where and what happened,

he was the superman that protected me.

I'm Superman!

Did you

purposely act like this

because he would feel guilty?

At some point,

I started to do bad things on purpose.

So he could hate me a lot.

Then maybe

his guilt might ease down a bit.

But he never hated me even once.

And when that happened,
I disliked it more and more.

So I acted up even more.

If you knew how he felt, you should have
made peace with him like before.

No.

Then I'll be a burden to him again.

You should know.

His work is so difficult

even without me.

All right. But still

your heart towards your brother

is the same as before, right?

I should have...

told him at least once.

That this wasn't what I wanted.

Up till now,

I didn't know what it meant

for me to be in pain.

But...

I think I know now

what a real pain is.

-Woo-min Lee?
-Yes.

There's a gift I want to give you.

This morning

a cornea donor appeared,
which is a perfect match for you.

Your brother registered and waited

for so long.

Woo-chul!

Your brother must be a superman
even in the other world.

Oh, right. You should show it to him.

Hey, Woo-min.

Woo-chul.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't take care of you more
when we were little because I was working.

I tried to fix your eyes.

But there's no donor yet.

I would have given my eyes to you
in a heartbeat if I were a match.

I thought all siblings were a match.

Sorry about that as well.

Because of me...

Woo-chul!

My bankbook is in the box.

It's not much.

If you find it, don't spend it
on other things.

Keep it with you

and use it for your eye surgery.

Promise me, okay?

You need to get well soon

so that I can rest assured, right?

I've never said this before.

For the first and last time, I'll say it.

I love you, my little brother!

Woo-chul!

Come out here quickly.

-Give it to me now!
-Come here.

-Quickly, quickly!
-Oh...

-Hey.
-Woo-chul.

-Hold on.
-I'm going to tickle you.

-Okay.
-All right.

-Hold my hand.
-You rascal.

-You want to wear this that bad?
-Yes.

Okay, here. I'll let you wear it
because it's you.

Here.

It says 911 rescue team.
If you wear this, you become a rescuer.

-Really? Like you?
-Here.

-Let's take a look.
-How do I look?

Research has been going on for years

to develop Superhuman.

And it will probably continue
in the future.

However,

I thought of what actually makes
a person Superhuman.

Hey, Woo-min, get closer!

It's fine. Take his photo first.

-The answer is simple.
-Go on now.

-It's human itself.
-Come on, let's take it together.

-No machine or medicine
-Ready?

-can surpass human emotions.
-Look at the camera.

-And...
-Did you take it?

humans have the most powerful antibody
that protects emotional functions.

-Okay, say cheese!
-Smile!

They are...

memories.

-Hi, Mister!
-Hey, Da-mi.

-Are you...
-He's my dad.

He came back from the U.S. today.

I've heard a lot about you. And thank you

for taking care of my daughter.

Sure.

Is that what she said?

Yes, she really wants to meet her mom.

You do know where she is now, right?

Not yet.

But I think I can find her if I try.

Excuse me,

but why did her mom leave
when she was a baby?

That's between me and her.

It's not easy to explain.

I apologize. That was way too personal.

But I do hope that her mother visits
at least once to see her.

Is there something wrong with Da-mi?

No. Not now,

but there might be in the future.

There are symptoms
that can't be diagnosed.

They usually indicate danger.

I think it's about time for you to come.

I think he figured something out.

Detective Kang!

What?

Because I like you.

Me too.

Did you find out who it was
that came to the factory?

-Goodness!
- Can you keep it a secret?

She's Seo-yeon Choi, a pianist.

She died in the position
she was playing the piano.

All the articles are about hidden cameras.

She was always being watched
from the closest distance.

That reporter knew something.
