Cain and Abel
Episode 18
Young Ji, you worried a lot about me, didn't you?
I think it will all be over by tomorrow.
Do you want to be my family?
Vice President Nah Hye Joo!
Just as you, who I wanted to call mother,
killed my parents,
Lee Sun Woo tried to kill me.
That's right, I did.
I killed your parents.
But, not Sun Woo, not Sun Woo!
Don't throw my crime on Sun Woo too.
- Why don't you ask him directly - Lee Cho In.
- Are you crazy?!! - Sun Woo.
What is family?
Why is Lee Cho In still alive?
What is family?
Painfully, send him off very painfully.
Out of the total 14 members of the board,
excluding Oh In Keun, whom we can't seem to contact,
a total of 10 members are attending the board meeting.
From the men that came out against us at the Japanese restaurant,
the heads of legal and finance have been connected
to the venture firm for a surgical science institution,
and as a condition for getting some shares of stock,
they've rejoined our team.
And, appointed to be Jo Hyun Taek's
successor as Chief of Medical Imaging, Director Yoon Hyung Seok.
And our Lee Sun Woo Center Director,
and me, Bang Tae Man Clinic Chief. Altogether we have 5 votes.
But, what should we do about the 1 last vote we need?
I'll take care of the remaining one.
Ah! Director Oh!
I tried so hard to contact you. How is it you turn up now?
The vice president purchased stock in my company.
Really, then my stock also...
Well then, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.
This is called the Cheonggye Stream.
The Cheongye Stream is a very old river running through Seoul.
Go ahead and take photos here.
Lee Cho In...
This your last opportunity.
If you give up the Emergency Medicine Center and step aside quietly,
no one has to get hurt.
Who should be saying that to whom?
From your lips, spit it all out at the board meeting.
Then even if I can't forgive you,
I can make allowances for the circumstances.
What you just said,
you'll regret before the Board meeting is over.
[5th Board of Directors Meeting]
We now begin the 5th regular meeting of the Board of Directors.
Today's main item,
in light of Lee Cho In's Gift Agreement for the center building site,
is a vote whether or not to set aside the existing Neurology Center decision
and consider a new Emergency Medicine center.
Oh Gang Ho!
Maybe it's the Seoul water, but Young Ji's gotten a lot prettier.
Young Ji.
Now the Cheonggye Stream exists in harmony with people and nature
and has become a new Cheonggye Stream.
Director Lee Cho In,
Before the vote,
would you share the vision for the Emergency Medicine Center?
It seems Director Lee Cho In has an urgent personal matter.
Directors, would you mind waiting a moment?
Hello?
Oh Gang Ho. It's been a long time.
Choi Chi Su.
You and I still have an issue to resolve.
What is it you want?
Come on out.
I'll hold onto Oh Young Ji.
Let's talk when we meet.
Choi Chi Su.
Choi Chi Su!
Director Lee Cho In.
If you're done with your call, shall we continue with the meeting?
Lee Sun Woo.
You wouldnt have...
It's not true, right?
Didn't I tell you?
If you give up the Emergency Medicine Center,
that no one would get hurt.
I can't give it up.
Then,..
instead of the Emergency Medicine Center,
are you saying that you'll give up Oh Young Ji?
No.
Neither of them,
I absolutely will not give up on either of them.
Director Lee Cho In.
Would you like to make some remarks on the Emergency Medicine Center.
The Emergency Medicine Center definitely must be built
on the land I received in the Gift agreement.
That intent has not changed.
Put it to a vote please.
Who would you be?
Police.
Is there a Lee Cho In here?
Lee Cho In?
You know a Choi Bok Keun, right?
You are arrested for suspicion of the murder of Choi Bok Keun and Yang Man Ho.
Lee Cho In...
You have the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Look here!
What are you talking about?
What do you mean Lee Cho In is a murder suspect?
You must be mistaken.
Isn't this Doctor Lee Cho In of Boseung University Hospital?
Then provide some evidence.
With what evidence are you intending to haul off Dr. Lee Cho In?
On the day of the murder Lee Cho In called Paju 911
from the crime site at the Prism Industrial Complex.
And...
we have testimony from the taxi driver who drove him
from that site to the Boseong University Hospital here.
Will that do?
There's no way.
Oh my goodness, are you saying that
Dr. Lee Cho In is a murderer?
Talk about a man's face with a beast heart...
Here, I thought he was a good man, but
he totally pulled one over on us.
Okay, let's go.
Just a minute.
Just one minute.
Give me a little time to speak with my brother.
If I'm taken away like this,
you don't think I'll tell them about your crimes?
And if you do,
who will believe you?
The person who could corroborate your story, Choi Bok Keun...
didn't you kill him?
What?
And, Oh Young Ji is still in my hands.
Lee Sun Woo...
This isn't the end.
Wait.
I hope for that too.
Because..
I...
want to kill you.
Don't worry too much.
I'll find you the finest attorney in the Republic of Korea.
Please come.
Lee Cho In, we're taking your phone as evidence.
I'll hold onto Oh Young Ji. Let's talk when we meet.
Ahh, such a shameful incident.
As the proxy of the Chairman of the Board
and as Lee Cho In's mother, there's no end to my shame,
But the agenda item is the agenda item,
so today, let's just put the vote through and finish it up.
Yes.
Director Oh.
What's going on?
Please be still.
Let's try to grasp the situation.
Vice President...
Is it that important to hold the vote right now?
Shouldn't we first assist Director Lee Cho In, and after that
Chief Kim Hyun Joo?
Lee Cho In is my son.
Even if it upsets and outrages you, it does me more.
Every day we push back the decision,
do you know how much interest is tacked onto the bank note?
And what about Boseung University Hospital's image?
Don't focus on pointless emotions and become distracted from the big issue.
Please continue.
Then, shall we go straight to voting?
Before we go into voting, may I say something?
To the directors who will decide which center
will be built henceforth by the Boseong University Hospital,
I'd like to address some points of doubt cast on the Neurology Center.
Would you allow me?
What's going on?
Isn't that our Dr. Lee Cho In?
Just a minute, please.
Would it be okay to go to the restroom?
This is the first time anything like this has happened to me,
so I'm rather nervous.
This is Changgyeong Palace.
Please follow me.
Go ahead and take your photos here.
Would you please take a photo of us?
Sure, sure.
One, two, three.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
- Another one? - Sure
One, two, three Cheese.
Lee Cho In, are you all finished?
Lee Cho In.
Lee Cho In!
What is this? Wha..
Has the punk swallowed something?
He can't breathe.
As you can see, patient Kim Bong Kyun who was admited yesterday,
like President Lee Jong Min,
had surgery to address a Chordoma and a ruptured cerebral artery.
Chordoma-is a rare slow-growing malignant tumor
The surgery result was the successful removal of the tumor,
and we've confirmed the patient has sensation and movement abilities.
At the last Case Conference,
it was said our Neurology Center and my method of surgery were problematic.
Even after seeing this case,
do you still suspect there could be a problem?
Dr. Lee Sun Woo...
At the cast conference,
the problem Dr. Lee Cho In brought forward
was that patient Choi Yu Ri's life was risked
for the sake of Neurology Center PR, no?
Chief, Kim Hyun Joo..
Do you think that kind of decision could be enforced by the hospital alone?
That decision..
was made due to the support of the patient Choi Yu Ri.
And... ultimately, it saved the precious life of Choi Yu Ri.
Do you think that fact is unjust as well?
Now... shall we begin the vote?
Kim Jin Geun, don't you know I'm in a Board meeting?
Yeah, I'm in the Emergency Center, and Lee Cho In was brought in for asphyxiation.
And, there's police... it's chaos, please come down.
What? Cho In...
I understand.
Executive Secretary, would it be okay to return in a moment and vote.
Yes, go ahead.
Geez, really... ah, hurry, please hurry.
What the hell is going on?
And what is this object?
Please move for a moment.
What's his condition?
Some object is pressing on his larynx and suffocating him.
larynx: part of the body that functions as an airway to the lungs.
What the hell is blocking it?
What happened and how, that a man ends up like this?
- Doctor Kim? - Yes?
You're obstructing treatment, so please step out for a moment.
Yes, yes, excuse me, excuse me.
Chief. I'm innocent.
To prove that, I need to get out of the hospital.
Young Ji is in danger. Please help me.
Laryngoscope, long forcep
Nurse Sung, you've known me since Cheongju and trust me, right?
Yes.
His condition doesn't look good. This is a big issue.
Nurse Sung, hurry and get an OR,
This patient has a foreign object lodged deep into his esophagus
and he needs a thoracotomy* (*surgery with incision into chest).
Yes, I understand,
Officers.
We're going into emergency surgery. Please release the cuffs.
Um, that's a bit difficult.
Are you thinking of killing this man!?
Officers,..
shall I testify that a suspect died during transportation
due to negligent management?
Hurry up, what are you doing? Hurry!
A man is dying.
Eh?
Get an OR ready, now!
Hurry, hand it here. Hurry!
- Rush - Hurry, move him, at least move him...
You contacted a thoracic surgeon, right?
Okay, open the door.
You can't come in here.
Ah, surgery, surgery!
Good.
This way.
Okay. I don't know what the hell we're doing.
Hey Cho In. Get up.
What the hell is going on?
I'll tell you later.
Hey, change into this.
Jin Geun, senior.
What?
Now then, we'll beging the voting.
We ask that each of you provide valuable feedback through your vote.
Director Oh, what are you going to do?
It's probably best to follow the wave, no?
If we do, and Lee Cho In tells the police we ordered the kidnapping,
then what will you do?
Aigoo, I don't know.
Oh!
How is the suspect's condition?
The thoracic surgeon is handling the surgery so I don't know very well.
Then, how long will it take?
That, we don't know since they'll have to open up the chest to see.
Anyhow, you've been -oh, just a minute, please step aside.
Excuse me, please step a little to the side
Yes, ah well -wait, officer,
Do you get checkups often? You don't look so good. Right Chief?
Yes.
Please excuse me - I have a Board meeting.
Listen, sir.
No matter how busy you are, you need to get checkups while you're healthy.
Yes, come see us sometime. Okay, take care.
Cho In.
Be careful.
Chief.
Chief, you should get back to the board meeting.
Okay. I'll be back.
It's not too late yet, is it?
Of course not.
Please vote.
Chief Kim,
What happened to our Dr. Lee Cho In.
Did some trouble arise?
He swallowed a foreign object and went into surgery.
But they said he disappeared from the OR.
Director Oh, Clinic Chief, Dr. Lee Cho In sends his regards.
Emergency Medicine Center.
The results of the vote
are 4 for the Neurology Center
and 6 for the Emergency Medicine Center,
therefore the the establishment of the Emergency Medicine Center
is the final decision.
Choi Chi Su, answer the phone.
Oh Young Ji, comrade.
It's been a long time.
Young Ji. Please answer your phone.
Please Young Ji!
Dr. Lee Cho In.
Young Ji.
Where are you?
Y- y-you mean here?
Yes, I'll come and get you.
Doctor, don't come.
Excuse me?
What are you saying?
- Doctor, you can't come here! Don't come! - Young Ji
- Don't come! - Young Ji!
Young Ji.
What's going on?
Young Ji!
Young Ji?
Young Ji!
Oh Gang Ho.
Looks like Oh Young Ji likes you a whole lot?
Choi Chi Su.
If you want to save Oh Young Ji, come to where I tell you.
You know you need to come alone, right?
Where are you?
Where are you?!
All right.
I'm on my way.
Who the hell is it?
Who the hell betrayed us
so that even without the punk Lee Cho In, we were 2 votes short?
Director Oh, was it you?
Director Oh In Geun.
I bought all the stock you asked me to, so why the hell did you betray me?
Why don't you ask Lee Sun Woo that reason?
What?
What are you saying right now.
The guys that were hired to kidnap Lee Cho In in China
were sent to kill me by Lee Sun Woo, didn't you know?
What?
I'm grateful for the stock you bought, but that...
I'll take as compensation for Lee Sun Woo's attempt at my life.
Then,
Who's the remaining individual.
I'm sorry, Vice President.
Clinic Chief.
Since when have you...
When you banished me to Cheongju,
Director Lee Cho In arranged to send for me.
Now then...
Bastards.
Those bastards!
Ah. I heard the decision was made at the meeting.
Yah!
Congratulations, congratulations.
Okay, thanks.
Now it's not Chief, but Center Director, right? Yah!
Congrats.
Take it easy.
When Cho In's falsely accused of murder, do you really want to be like this?
I'm just happy about it.
And so?
Do you have Oh Young Ji?
That drug you gave me really seems to work well.
I just got her lightly, and she's totally passed out.
What about Lee Cho In?
Did you tell him to meet you where I directed?
Of course.
There can absolutely be no mistakes.
Right. Don't worry.
Lee Cho In, that dog-head. I'll finish him off and contact you.
No.
That punk Lee Cho In's last dying look
I want to witness with my own eyes.
Sun Woo.
The Emergency Center ends up like this-
What do we do with this behavior?
Mother,
The Emergency Center
will not be able to be established.
What are you talking about?
Because the bastard responsible for the Emergency Medicine Center
will never return.
Sun Woo.
Mother,
whatever
I may pull,
you love me, right?
Right.
I love my son.
I love you.
Then, that's enough.
I love you, too, mother.
[Call]
Choi Chi Su.
Oh Gang Ho.
No, Dr. Lee Cho In.
Choi Chi Su.
Did you
kill Choi Bok Geun?
That's right.
I used this knife
and sliced their necks.
[Indicates call in progress]
Oh Gang Ho.
Between you and I, no words are necessary anymore.
You need to follow Gang Chul hyung.
Oh Gang Ho,
Since you a quick and nimble South Korean doctor, you must know
that if I cut you here in the neck, you'll die within two minutes.
Now,
I'll send you off.
Doctor.
You can't!
Young Ji.
Don't look.
Doctor, you can't!
Young Ji, don't concern yourself with it.
I love you!
I love you, Doctor.
Have you already forgotten the face of the Lee Cho In I love?
The man I love
can't bear hurt and destruction...
It kills him to see it.
Doctor,
didn't you ask me to be your family?
I don't ever want to lose any family ever again.
Choi Chi Su!
Don't move a muscle.
Oh Gang Ho,
I mean, Lee Cho In,
Choi Chi Su's admission was recorded on this phone,
you should be able to shake off the Choi Bok Geun murder charge.
Oh Gang Ho!
Oh Gang Ho, you dog-head bastard!
I'm going to kill you, you bastard!
I love you
Young Ji
Don't forget me.
I still have things to finish.
I love you
Please wait a little longer.
Don't erase me
Even though it will hurt and hurt to death.
Don't forget me.
Go back first and wait
You trust me?
Yes.
Do you hear my words?
Doctor, I trust you.
Do you hear me?
If I love you,
The more I do, the more I fear.
Yet, I have no choice but to love.
I love you so.
[Sun Woo Hyung]
Answer the phone, Choi Chi Su.
[Lee Cho In]
Choi Chi Su isn't here.
Lee Cho In.
Where are you?
I'll be waiting.
Cho In, I abandoned him.
Because if I didn't, I couldn't have you.
I have maybe 2 years left
and the last seven
were so hard to bear,
They were too brutal.
Oppa!
Don't come!
Seo Yeon.
Seo Yeon,
Don't come.
Please don't come.
Because I found out that the reappearing tumor could never get better.
I thought if I could just spend my remaining days with you,
I thought it would be okay.
[Lee Sun Woo]
Don't turn on the lights, Lee Sun Woo.
If I see your face,
I'll want to kill you.
Why did you try to kill me?
Since when?
Not since we were kids, I reckon.
Because in the incubator,
the first person to hold my hand,
was Lee Sun Woo.
Cho In,
I'm your big brother.
Your big brother.
That's right, I did.
Because then, you were no more than a poor, pitiful little monkey.
Right.
Then when could it have started?
Probably, not when you first came back from the states, either.
Hyung!
Lee Cho In.
Because your face then was the same face I knew from before.
Right?
Yeah, that's right.
Because up to then,
you were a good and innocent little brother.
Then,
the reason you wanted to kill me was no more than
the Neurology Center?
Did you just say "no more than"?
It may be "no more than" to you, who monopolized Father's love,
but not to me.
Lee Cho In.
I wanted to get acknowledgement from Father.
I wanted to fix the heart of the girl I loved.
I gave up on my previous specialty of thoracic surgery
And transferred to neurology.
After father,
I wanted to become the most respected neurosurgeon.
The last 7 years,
I spent 17 hours of everyday, without fail,
trudging around the OR.
However,
far from acknowledging me,
Father never even gave me an opportunity.
That is a reason to kill me?
Even so,
how could a brother kill a brother?!!
I thought when I returned from the States,
For the first time in my life, I'd be acknowledged by father
and that my Neurology Center would be established.
But, what was waiting for me was just your name
on a lousy piece of paper Gift Agreement,
and Father, rather than me, his birth son,
chose you, Lee Cho In!
And, I wanted to find Seo Yeon again.
Seo Yeon, who was my girl from the very beginning...
I wanted to find her again.
Lee Cho In.
Do you know this?
The things I can't have no matter how hard I tried,
you got them way too easily.
And so,
to split up father, Seo Yeon, and myself,
you conspired with Director Oh and mother and sent me to China?
Not mother!
Don't give me that crap, Lee Sun Woo!
You think because you protect her,
the woman who killed my parents, and neglected our collapsed father,
your mother...
you think her crimes will be covered?
Do you remember?
In our childhood,
when I went around smiling all the time?
"What're you so happy about?"
Mother would chide.
Back then, I really wasn't happy at all.
I thought if I smiled like that,
Mother would, at least once,
look at me,
smile,
and warmly acknowledge me.
But,
not once...
did she do that.
No,
she didn't even let me call her mother.
A mother's embrace...
I, not ever having experienced it, I too...
I too lived
I lived too!
Even if mother did that,
Lee Sun Woo, you...
You shouldn't have abandoned me.
Because you
were the brother I loved more than anyone in the world.
Because you were my idol!
Because you were like a god to me!
Lee Sun Woo.
No, Sun Woo hyung.
Please, just tell me you're sorry,
that you made a mistake, just say that one thing.
Then, we can turn everything back.
Because I wanted to be Lee Sun Woo's little brother,
Lee Jong Min's child,
and Nah Hye Joo's son.
Sun Woo hyung.
Just...
"Cho In,"
"My little brother,"
"I'm sorry."
Just say that one thing for me.
Just that one thing.
Please!!
No.
I can't say it.
Because my little brother Lee Cho In
already died in China.
Then,
I guess
I too
must erase you.
Lee Cho In,
if you could forgive me that way,
I could say it a hundred, no, a thousand times,
but for that
it's already too late.
I'm sorry, my little brother.
I'm really sorry.
[Lee Sun Woo]
Kim Seo Yeon
I just had a talk with Cho In.
By tomorrow,
I'll have killed my little brother,
taken his hospital,
and having coveted his girl,
I'll have become the world's ugliest being.
Then everyone in the world will likely throw rocks in my direction
and the words will spill like daggers, right?
Kim Seo Yeon.
But my loving you was sincere.
Because I didn't know who to love properly,
I just hurt you,
and I'm sorry for that, but
the times I met you,
loved you,
and spent longing for you
are probably my happiest memories.
Kim Seo Yeon, I'm sorry.
Lee Sun Woo, where are you?
Let's meet now, huh?
Lee Sun Woo, you fool!
Before the world curses you, don't you have to have someone on your side?
I'm asking where you are right now? Where are you?
Oppa! Sun Woo Oppa!
Sun Woo Oppa!
Lee Jong Min
All of this is probably because of my greed, right?
If I just give up just my life,
could everything go back as it was?
If only I died,
would Cho In forgive our Sun Woo?
I guess there's no way now?
Only my death can make up for this.
Doctor.
Is everything okay?
Young Ji.
It's all over now.
It's over, but
I thought I'd be happy when it was over.
So, why does it hurt like this?
Doctor.
I dont' know how it ended,
but if you hurt,
the person on the other side probably also hurts.
But still,
I hope you can soon fully escape the hurt
and return to your old self.
I liked you as Oh Gang Ho too,
but the Lee Cho In I met in China, I like much better.
I'll do that, Young Ji.
I'll go back to being that Lee Cho In.
Yes.
You must. You must do that.
It's the Er.
It's the ER.
What are you doing?
To our Dr. Lee Cho In, weren't patients priority one?
I'll hurry back.
Who's the patient? Has the CT scan shown up?
Yes, but I think you need to take a look.
You can't see any particular bone fractures or tumors,
but it looks like there is a mass to the left of the frontal lobe.
Could this be a tumor
Put in a contrast medium and take them again.
Yes, I understand.
[Lee Sun Woo]
Lee Sun Woo?
Cho In.
Seo Yeon!
Is Sun Woo Oppa okay?
By chance, has his tumor gotten worse?
Kim Seo Yeon.
Did you know?
Lee Cho In.
You didn't know yet?
I told you. I wrote you in a letter that Sun Woo Oppa was sick.
I asked you to fix him. I wrote you.
Whenever the wind blows,
the deep emptiness in my chest
fills up just with that.
No matter how I try to forget,
and swallow it up...
I can't erase it.
