Kyeong Hee?
Oppa, I'm here.
Oppa!
Detective Kang, hold on.
Look here. Look here!
- Oppa!- Come to your senses! Hey!
Hold on! Wait!
Oppa!
- Oppa!- Detective Kang!
Detective Kang, wait.
Patient Transfer
Is it a prosecutor you know?
What should we do? Should we send him to his jurisdiction, or should we bring him?
For now, please hold off.
For a bit.
Did anything come out?
Detective Kang.
Detective Kang, look at me.
Cry as much as you want.
Be sad as much as you want, too.
But let's be cool headed starting tomorrow.
That's how we'll catch the criminal. We'll do that, okay?
I think this happened because of me.
Because of me.
How can you say such a thing?
What did you do wrong?
You have done nothing wrong.
The fire at O-Yong Paper company in Gyeonggido was completely extinguished, however
Four employees are buried in the basement, and are in the process of being rescued.
But the internal basement space is very small...What are you?
They are experiencing difficulties.I'm here on President Oh's errand.
To get payment from you.
I don't have money! Go!
Tell him I'll give him money as soon as I get some.
When?
That I don't know either! Ah. Jeez.
I'll write the repayment date, so follow through on that day.
Ah, okay, okay. Okay!
You did well.
Woo Chul Hyung!
Woo Chul Hyung! Wake up!
Open your eyes!

Case 08 - SupermanSeason 4
Okay. Let's try slowly organize everything from the beginning.
First, Prosecutor Lee gave you the classified case files, asking you for advice.
And after a couple days, he took them back. Right?
Yes.
He said the case was solved.
But according to the police station data at their jurisdiction, no such case even existed.
But the deceased's picture was even on the file.
Yes.
If that's the case...
Why in the world did he hand you that kind of case file?
I thought it was because it was related to disabled people and rare diseases.
He showed up all of a sudden after 10 years, and left you with a case. You didn't find that weird?
Back then, I didn't know it was.
Anyway,
when the case file was in your hands, something bad happened. And...
The moment the case file left your hands,
Prosecutor Lee was killed.
Yes.
Detective Kang. Don't take this the wrong way.
If... Just what if...
Prosecutor Lee was trying to use you?
Use?
That case file was like a bomb.
But why would he have left such a dangerous case to you?
In the end, he just passed the bomb along.
Why? Because he doesn't know when and where, and in front of whom it will explode again.
By chance, are you Detective Kang Kyeong Hee?
Who are you?
I am Investigator Lee Yeong Chul from the Central District Prosecutor's Office.
He didn't say anything else?
Yes. He just asked to meet.
Then Mr. Han Jin Wu, why did you go with her?
I just went with her. We're lovers.
Did Prosecutor Lee receive threats from anyone recently,
or was he on bad terms with anyone recently?
It hasn't even been a month since I've met him again in 10 years.
How do know all the details of his personal matters?
Investigator. Instead of questioning us,
shouldn't you go with the clues found at the crime scene?
Well, there's no DNA results. And we didn't perform the autopsy yet.
In any case, he died on his way to meet you guys!
This leaves you two as the primary suspects.
Look here, Investigator.
Yes.
Ah, yes.
What does that mean?
The prosecutors took everything?
Yes.
DNA records, crime scene records, and even the evidence.
They took it all.
While we were being questioned, they took it.
I'm at a loss for words, seriously.
I said we'll take the case, but we got rejected.
Which departement in the prosecutor's office is handling the case?
I don't know that either.
They just came all of the sudden, gave us the notice, and left.
I'll try going there.
Detective Kang.
I'll look into that right now.
You should take care of the case that came in today.
Right, leave that to the team leader here. We should think about something else for now.
Let's go.
Okay, Gyeonggido, Yeongju City.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Aren't you visiting your ex-girlfriend too often?
It's not like that.
It looked like you were writing something down.
Did your ex-girlfriend change her phone number or address?
I said it's really not like that.
If it's not, it's not. Why are you getting angry?
Making me feel embarrassed.
Lee Woo Chul. 32 years old. He's a firefighter.
Two days ago, as soon as he came back from extinguishing a fire, he died at the fire station.
- Cause of death?- Pulmonary thromboembolism.
Blockage of blood vessels in the lung due to blood clots or air.
Ah this...this illness occurs when blood clots form in the lung's blood vessels, clogging them.
But this by itself is not that dangerous.
But depending on the surrounding circumstances, it can be fatal.
Especially when it's the scene of fire, like this.
Although we also live getting paid by the country...
Firefighters are really incredible people.
But how did this happen...
What about the estimated time of outbreak?
As the professor mentioned, it is related to the fire at the factory.
Rather than extinguishing the fire, I think the cause is the rescue operation of employees in the basement.
They were deeply buried
so he performed the rescue operation in a space so narrow that one person can barely fit through.
How long was he in the rescue operation?
- It's about 10 hours.- Aigoo.
He was rescuing for 10 hours in a narrow space, with his body curled.
On top of that, toxic gas.
It's enough of a condition that would cause outbreak of the disease.
A narrow space can become the cause?
Well, there are various causes.
Besides, fracture and stroke,
it can also occur when you cannot move your body for a long period of time.
Obesity, heart disease, and cancer can also cause it.
And sometimes it can occur after you ride the plane for a long time.
And besides those, in all conditions where you are in a narrow space for a long time, disrupting blood flow.
What about the reason this came to us?
Although pulmonary embolism due to blood clot was found,
there is the question of whether this is critical enough to cause pulmonary embolism.
So we have to determine if there are other factors, or if it's a rare disease.
Today, put more heart into it.
Everyone, silent prayer.
Aigoo, there are bruises and lacerations all over the body.
No place is completely intact.
Each of these wounds are medals.
Medals that prove he rescued people.
Right, you're right.
But I don't know why they don't give real medals.
Okay. Like the preliminary autopsy, a pulmonary embolism was found.
But it's hard to say it was the direct cause.
But with this size blood clot,
it can cause difficulty in breathing, but it's not enough to cause sudden shock.
I mean, if there aren't other predisposing factors before his death.
There are no problems with his heart?
Yes. There's no big problems with his heart.
Outwardly, there's no problem with his brain.
But let's do a biopsy just in case.
Let's look at the back.
- Yes.- Help me.
Why the back?
I'm wondering if it's related to shock in the spinal nerves.
If it was in a buried area.
Hold on.
This wound.
It looks really old. Really deep too.
He was stabbed or gashed by something sharp.
Okay.
Examiner, let's do another spine exam on this area.
This doesn't seem to be related to this case.
But let's do it once just in case.
Han Goon.-Yes.
When you get the sample, hand over the MRI, and also extract the spinal fluid and send it out for testing.
Yes, I'll get on it.
Prosecutors, tell me the exact reason.
Well, we have the right to be informed of the reason.
We were the ones who found prosecutor Lee Jae Joon's body.
And we were the ones who investigated from start to finish!
What I'm trying to say is...
Hello... Hello...
They're not going to tell us?
Couldn't you tell by listening?
Why are they like this all of a sudden?
A Korean prosecutor died after being stabbed in the neck.
It's not a clean case.
Of course they would want to handle it quietly so things don't leak to the outside.
Deceased Lee Woo Chul
There was nobody like him.
He had a sense of duty, and he always led the way.
Among us rescue workers, everyone is indebted to Hyung Woo Chul.
During the operation, if anyone fainted,
the person who protected us until the end while putting his life on the line...
That was Hyung Woo Chul.
By chance, did he say he was sick anywhere?
No, he was healthy.
Among us, his nickname was Boulder.
Even when he was hit, ripped, or burned, he didn't show any pain.
At first, I thought it was because he was good at enduring pain.
He didn't show pain at all.
He would get right back up.
Woo Min.
Who is he?
Yes, he's Woo Chul's little brother.
You did all this just to die this way?
What did I tell you?
I told you you'd die after only benefiting others.
Woo Min!
What are you saying in front of your brother's portrait?
Am I wrong?
If this is not a dog's death, what is it?!
Why you little!
- Calm down.- We're in front of the portrait of the deceased.
Even if you just live however you want,
how dare you say that!
Where do I receive compensation money or consolation money?
What?
A family member receives them, right?
What did you say, you bastard?
You should stop now.
Even if you're his brother, you're crossing the line.
You're talking crap.
What kind of wench are you?
What? Wench?
What's wrong with you?
What the hell, seriously.
You come as a set to someone else's funeral, and you're making a fuss.
Look, let's step outside.
Hey!
If you called someone out, you should say something.
What are you doing at a mortuary?
Your brother is in there!
That's exactly why I'm doing as I please.
Forget it, Detective Kang. People like him won't come to their senses even if you hit them twenty thousand times.
Why?
Are you scared of something?
Are you scared?
Try beat me as much as you like. See if I cower.[ "Now" written on forearm]
What are you doing?
What're you up to now?
So don't provoke me.
I'm the craziest dog out of all the crazy dogs.
Examiner, I'll be going to the main hospital for a while.
Why there?
Oh...there is an autopsy I want to observe.
What autopsy?
Oh, that is...death from electric shock and toxic chemical poisoning.
Okay, go there and be back.
Study it closely.
Yes, I will.
His background check arrived. He's his real brother.
I really hoped he was not his real brother.
When Woo Chul was nine, his parents passed away.
And he was at the orphanage before he escaped.
He didn't have relatives?
Maybe he did, but no one would take him in.
What does that younger brother do for a living?
In our terminology...a thug.
He has two criminal records of blackmail.
And he usually works for a loan shark office.
I think he's doing that now.
No wonder. He's not even a grilled dried squid or anything.
I should've known when he was burning himself with the lighter.
There there are a lot of petty criminals like that.
People who threatens others by injuring himself.
Mosquitoes are flying around too.
Let's see.
Pain killers. Muscle pain.
Bruises. Lacerations.
Just by looking at the medicine, I can feel how painful it was.
What's that?
To my younger brother Woo Min.
Woo Min!
Wow, trying to talk by myself...
It's really embarrassing and stuff.
The reason I'm leaving this is...you know it too, right?
Being a firefighter means I don't know when and where something might happen to me.
And that means I'll have to leave without getting to say anything to you.
That's why I'm leaving this behind.
Woo Min.
I'm sorry. When I was young, I couldn't pay much attention to you because of my part-time jobs.
You were sick a lot, but I couldn't personally take you to the hospital.
You're still not that well.
You have to go to a big hospital.
I've never said this before,
but I'll say it for the first time and the last time.
I love you, my little bro.
I wonder if the brother knows his hyung's feelings.
But that brother of his...
He must have had a chronic disease.
Right? He's saying he needs to go to a big hospital.
And he's blind in one eye.
Now
Han Goon.
Oh, I thought he'd surely be here. Where did he go?
Ilseong Services
Does he look like police?
Film the guy you saw, and take off all the labels.
Don't be seen.
Let me have a drink too.
Drink on your own.
Don't bother me.
Yeah? Then I'll pour myself.
What happened to your eye? Did you get hurt?
Why do you want to know?
If you don't want to say it, don't.
Let me drink in peace. Leave.
When I saw earlier,
you didn't seem to be in pain even when you lit the lighter on your arm.
Are you just good at holding in pain?
I told you.
I'm a crazy dog.
It really doesn't hurt at all?
I do it because it doesn't hurt.
So you get payments from them like that.
You're being so annoying! Go!
Why did you go see Lee Woo Chul's brother again?
Just because. Just.
You seemed to be more emotionally involved in this case.
Does it look that way?
Yes.
I can tell right away now.
Wow.
Isn't it nice I'm showing an interest in something now?
You're right. Strangely, my heart keeps going there.
I thought about why.
I think it's because I don't have siblings. Because I'm alone.
When I was young, I used to have really a lot of those thoughts.
How nice it'd be if I had a brother or a sister.
How reassured would I feel?
Right, it's better as two than being alone.
But this one little brother of a punk
has a great brother like Lee Woo Chul, but he doesn't know it.
I'd like to let him know but...
I feel like I'm overstepping my boundary.
No you're not.
His hyung left this world, but we still need to let him know.
How much of a precious existence left this world.
Should we?
Well, in any case,
we need to fill our stomach. What should we eat?
Lamb skewer?
Lamb skewer...
I have to go meet Detective Nam. I have something to say.
Then I'll have to let you go cooly.
We should always be careful.
Lift up your guard, and keep your eyes forward. Okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
What is this?
Just as you see.
The deceased and the anonymous letter related to the waste disposal case.
It doesn't really seem like a classified case.
That's what seemed weird to me too.
The fight last time at the potato stew restaurant...
It was a lie, right? That was related to this.
But why are you showing this to me now?
I'm giving you a chance.
It's too overwhelming and dangerous for just me and doctor Han.
And since we have to investigate secretly without permission, I need an ally.
A trustworthy ally.
But you don't trust me.
That's why I'm giving you a chance to be trustworthy.
What should I do first?
The service company in the photo.
I'll look up the person who sent the anonymous letter.
I got it.
First, let's share it with my guys. They know how to keep a secret.
Yes.
Be careful. Carry your gun at all times.

Han Goon.
Where were you all day?
I'm sorry, things were taking long at the main hospital.
You weren't playing around somewhere, right?
Of course not.
Lee Woo Chul has a younger brother.
Look up his hospital records.
And look up his medical history, and everything else.
Yes, I will.
Anyway, you're strange recently. You're strange.
- Ah! I'm leaving now.- Hello.
You're really weird.
Why?
You didn't go to the main hospital today, right?
Junior-nim, do you know it shows on your face when you lie?
I-I Do?
It must be true.
I was just saying it.
I don't really like having a lot of secrets between us.

Lee Seok Nam's documentsBiohazardWho is this?
Lee Seok Nam - On the run/In hidingHandwriting test result:Possibility of emotional anxiety & psychological fear
Did you look into Ilseong Services?
Yes.
It's a service company that closed a year ago, but the owner's whereabouts are unknown.
Then what about Lee Seong Nam who wrote the anonymous letter?
We're looking for him all over, but he's missing.
His family doesn't know where he is either.
Then first of all, we have to quickly confirm if Lee Song Nam is alive or not.
Oh and...you know the waste containers at the factory?
I find that weird.
Why?
As you can see from the picture, the pattern is in black.
Does it differ by color?
Yes. Black is for regular medical wastes.
Yellow is for harmful medical wastes. And red is for quarantined medical wastes,
which is the most dangerous one, being highly contagious.
Then the containers at the factory are the weakest ones.
Yes. They were either regular chemical residue,
or used fluids.
But that's not what's important. Any medical waste
must be handled by a special pickup company.
So that means a regular service company cannot do that.
Then that itself is illegal.
Yes. So as you can see from the photos,
they put it right in front of the factory entrance so they can be seen.
You're right. People from city hall must've clearly noticed it as they came and went.
If they just purposely let this go,
then there are two possibilities. The first one is
that Ilseong Services was not involved in wastes in the first place.
They only manage and obtain waste containers.
What about the second possibility?
They were supposed to hide this,
but someone purposely put it there.
So that it can be seen.
Then it's highly possible that it was Lee Seong Nam.
First, we should collect it.
Yes. And we need to urgently find what components were in the container.
Yes.
Lee Woo Chul's test results came out.
According to his spinal cord exam, injuries were found.
- Anything else?- It's small, but a deformation of the spine was confirmed.
And there were no problems genetically.
If it was spinal cord injury, weren't there signs of paralysis?
Of course he had it.
But how was he able to perform as a firefighter?
In any case, my guess was totally wrong.
What was your guess?
Professor!
Lee Woo Chul's brother Lee Woo Min's hospital records have been confirmed.
Thank you.
By chance...is it CIPA?
Yes, you're right.
He's been getting treatments since long ago, but he stopped treatments a year ago.
If it's CIPA...
Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA).Inability for the brain to register pain and temperature.
That's why he couldn't feel pain, and inflicted self injuries.
Yes.
But I predicted that
Lee Woo Chul also had this condition.
Because his colleagues said he endured pain really well.
And since there's a possibility of it being hereditary,
it could've been inherited by both brothers.
Right.
But I was wrong.
That gene mutation was not found in Lee Woo Chul.
For CIPA, that's the main cause.
If Lee Woo Chul had CIPA, can there be other causes of death?
People with CIPA cannot sweat easily.
That means heat cannot be released very well.
But a firefighter was in an extremely hot area
wearing heatproof clothes for a long time.
What symptoms will appear as a result?
- Acute shock from high fever.- That's right.
He could've died from shock due to high fever.
However, the exact cause of death is still unclear.
Acute shock.
Excuse me.
This is Lee Woo Chul's medical records that just arrived.
Thank you.
Let's see.
Thoracic vertebrae...
Orthopedics?
Hypersensitive to high dose steroids
Steroid...
Quickly hand over the money!
The funeral is over, so we should settle the rest.
Why is it taking so long to deposit?
Did we do that?
What do you want us to do about what the country takes care of?!
Ahjussi, aren't you in the middle making things difficult?
- What did you say, you jerk?!- Ahjussi!
and all the people sitting down
think carefully.
Don't end up like hyung and leave like that.
Get out!
Get out right now!
Give it!
What is money, really? That's not why we're doing this job.
Don't worry too much.
All regular people know.
That firefighters work with sincerity and sense of duty.
Thank you for acknowledging that.
But for what reason are you here?
Oh...Before
you said that Lee Woo Chul didn't have anything wrong with him normally, right?
Yes.
And you also said that he doesn't normally feel pain.
- Yes.- Then by chance...
could he handle hot things well?
Yes.
When opening heated valves, we couldn't even open it with our gloves on because it was so hot.
But Woo Chul opened it as if it was nothing.
Even when he was holding it, it wasn't hot?
Yes.
Ah...there was something unique.
What?
When he was touching something hot or sharp, he only used one hand.
You have to use both hands to open valves, but he only used one.
Firefighter Lee Woo Chul
The labels disappeared?
Yes. They only removed the waste stickers.
So you didn't bring the containers?
We have to check the contents.
Inside there was only trash from food.
The kind that is produced into animal feed.
- Are you sure?- Yes.
I worked the kitchen in the military, so I can tell right away.
That means they stuck it on the wrong containers.
If that's so...the contents aren't the problem.
It means the goal was to make someone see it.
Like Doctor Han just said, it was labeled to announce something.
And someone else, knowing that, took them off.
But that black pattern...it's for regular waste that is not problematic.
Thinking about it,
the containers in the photo next to the body had black markings.
If the contents aren't important, then it's not really related to the body either.
That's true.
However, if the person who attached it didn't know about the color differences
and just marked it with the sole intent of announcing, then it makes sense.
Having nothing to do with the contents.
Team Leader!
The CEO of Ilseong Services...
He was missing, but four days ago, his body was found at Worak mountain.
- Body?- Yes.
It looks like he fell while hiking. But since it was so deep in the mountains,
he was only found now.
Slowly, people are dying...
We have to quickly find Lee Seong Nam who sent the anonymous letter.
Yes, Han Goon.
I found the contact information for Lee Woo Min's previous doctor.
It's been more than a year since the last time he came to the hospital.
I looked at his medical records, and it looked like he had an an advanced disease.
Yes.
He has to get continuous treatment, but he didn't want that.
But it could have made him worse.
He said his brother was more of the problem.
Hyung-nim?
Yes, he thought he had the same disease as him.
So...he thought that his brother had the same disease?
That's why I told him to bring him to the hospital,
but there was no news after that.
As you already know, the hospital and drug fees for CIPA patients are no joke.
If there are two people in the family with this disease, there would be a lot of burden.
That Lee Seong Nam guy...there's nothing yet?
No, no matter how I try to track him, nothing comes up.
He doesn't have any phone number, accounts, or records of card use.
His email address was on the letter.
You should contact him through that.
I thought of that, but we might get traced.
and we also get exposed.
That's true...ah...
is there no way?
Sunbaenim
The man who attacked you...
Oh...has something come out?
His face came out on the hospital CCTV
I checked the database right away, but
there is no one matching in the database.
Oh, and from the fight last time,
there were remaining fingerprints on the wall.
- You looked it up, right?- Yes, but nothing came up again.
What do you mean there's nothing?
A foreigner.
Foreigner?
He doesn't have fingerprints or other records.
No wonder. That's why he's walking around in broad daylight.
He even walks around the hospital full of CCTVs. Wielding a knife.
Looking at his skills, he could be a professional killer.
Then from the looks of it, there's a high possibility that he killed prosecutor Lee Jae Joon.
Do we have to turn this over to the police or not?
Not yet. We have to keep doing it.
What?
Things got more difficult.
Yes. Detective Kang, you have to be more careful.
I have somewhere I need to go right now.
Yes.
Okay, I'll call.
Yes.
What a headache you are.
Here. Eat this and get lost.
Yeah.
What?! Why are you telling me that now?!
Send Money
Yeah.
I sent it now.
Well, for me, eating castella
and choking from it, it's the most annoying thing in the world.
Don't you earn a lot of money working for loan sharks?
You should eat a nice dinner then.
Why do you keep following me?
I wasn't following you.
I ran into you here by coincidence.
Coincidence my ass.
Why? Because I might take all of my brother's compensation money?
Is that why you're watching me?
- Someone told you to do that?- Would I do something about that?
According to the law, the person who's supposed to get it should get it.
- Then why do you keep...!- Hurry up and get examined.
If you stop in the middle, it becomes worse.
What the?
Did I kill a person or commit robbery?
Why did you look into my private life?
I'm not an idol sasaeng fan or anything.[saseng fan -- an overboard, extreme fan]
When did I look into your personal life?
Then why exactly are you doing this?
Because if I keep looking at you, you might look like a human.
From the first time I saw you, you didn't look human to me.
But that doesn't mean you look like one now.
The method of making a human being out of someone who is not even human...
Being next to them, giving moral lessons and scolding them...
I don't think that's the way.
Even if they're not human, you should look at them as one.
That seems to be the best way.
Since I've looked at you enough, I won't follow you anymore.

Lee Woo Chul (31)Gyeonggido location active firefighter
Spinal cord paralysis. Steroid.
Analgesia
Anesthesia

CIPA
assymetry
Central Cord Syndrome Anterior Cord Syndrome Brown-Séquard Syndrome
Okay.
Hello? Yes, Detective.
Catch your breath.
Yes. Um...
I have a favor to ask you.
Tell me anything.
I want to ask you to look into someone's background.
Who?
This was such a rare case, so it look some time for me to put it together.
Lee Woo Chul had a condition even more rare than CIPA.
Tell me.
Lee Woo Chul was a Brown-Séquard Syndrome patient.Damages to the spinal nerves causing paralysis on one side of the body.
Brown-Séquard?
There's only a thousand cases in the world.
Yes. Brown-Séquard is a rare spinal condition.
It usually occurs when a part of the spinal cord becomes damaged.
Doesn't that cause paralysis to the whole body?
No, this is a really rare condition.
So it only paralyzes the side the spinal cords were damaged.
So even with Lee Woo Chul, he was paralyzed
only on one side, and he couldn't feel pain.
Right, it's called asymmetrical paralysis.
Usually, when your neck or back
has suffered serious injury, this occurs after.
The paralysis comes with weakening of perception and loss of senses.
Then with respect to the cause and the effect of the affliction, it's similar to CIPA.
That's right. Oh, and...
This disease stays inside your body for a long time.
Even if the injury that damaged the spine becomes healed.
In the end, the disease made Lee Woo Chul into a good firefighter.
Conclusively, yes. But it also led to his death.
Is there also a link to the cause of death?
Yes. Last time I said that if Lee Woo Chul had CIPA,
shock from high fever might be the cause of death.
That can also be a factor. But there was something more important.
This condition constantly degenerates and weakens the muscles.
It also makes blood flow extremely irregular.
However, up until a certain point, one cannot realize this.
But if a serious problem occurred with the blood flow,
a problem occurs in exchanging O2 and CO2.
In the end, it leads to acute respiratory failure.
While extinguishing the fire and rescuing people,
Lee Woo Chul was under extreme stress for 10 hours.
When that stress lifted all at once,
a problem occurred in the bloodstream.
And he ended up dying of respiratory failure.
That's such a pity.
Only if he had known his condition.
No. Lee Woo Chul knew.
His condition.
I looked into his past medical records.
He was administered with high doses of steroids. Of course, this is a controversial treatment method.
Oh, and the medicine found in his cabinet was a pain killer for his spine.
If he was examined, the doctor must have told him about that possibility.
Then why?
This condition...
It's not covered by national insurance for rare diseases.
That means the treatment fees are really expensive.
So he didn't get treatment to save money.
- For his younger brother.- Yes.
And also...
This was the same for his brother Lee Woo Min.
What do you mean?
Why did you make me come here?
You look more like human today.
I asked you why you made me come here!
There's something you should know.
Your brother left this world, but
you should clearly know why.
Mr. Lee Woo Min. Listen carefully to what I say.
I'll explain everything for you.
You were wrong about your brother's condition.
The symptoms were similar.
And I'll apologize for misunderstanding you.
Right. You were a human being from the start.
The place you urgently sent money to, two days ago.
It was a place you were sponsoring for a long time.
Rare disease foundation for children.
I looked into it.
That day, a child had to have urgent surgery.
And needed money for surgery.
But because of insufficient sponsor money,
you went to send them money to fill in the rest.
Is the child better now?
It was a foundation that sponsors children
who suffer from diseases since they were young, just like you.
You sent them money consistently every month.
And you also sent them your brother's compensation money.
Besides your money transfer records,
your savings records stood out.
I looked at your account records,
and it was named "Superman."
- That's...- That refers to Lee Woo Chul, right?
Your older brother.
Weren't you saving up money to fix his disease?
All the while, you ate bread at the park for dinner.
My brother's condition...
It's because he suffered a big injury to his spine?
Yes. It's a really old injury.
I...only had my brother.
There was only him.
I brought the shoes.
We were almost adopted by different families at the orphanage.
Thank you. Thank you.
I really hated that, and I asked him to leave the orphanage.
Woo Min!
My brother didn't want to be separated either, so he left the place.
And since then, he lived for me.- Eat a lot.
Hey! Get up!
Just as we thought, the world was brutal. No, it was far worse.
That was the same wherever we went.
Hey it still doesn't hurt? How about this? Get up!
But my brother was fearless.
He must've been afraid inside, but he never showed it.
And while living like that, I caught an eye infection.
It was so itchy, so I scratched it all night.
Without knowing that I was damaging my eye.
Stop scratching, are you okay?
But I couldn't feel pain.
Hyung found out and I went to the hospital, but it was already too late.
So I lost my sight.
But I didn't blame my brother.
Nevertheless, he lived all his life with guilt.
It really wasn't his fault.
What happened?
Now that I think about it, he was a child.
Such a young child.
But that child...always devoted himself to protect his younger brother.
It won't open.
And at that moment...
Woo Min!
- Woo Min, are you okay?- Yeah, I'm okay.
He suffered a big wound.- Hyung, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
The wound that pained him all his life...he got it at that time.
Are we going to die now?
No, the fire-fighters will come save us.
But my brother always smiled.
He never cried even once.
When I think about it, he was my Superman.
No matter where and what happens, he was the Superman who always protected me.
I am Superman.
By chance...
Did you purposely go astray because your brother might feel guilty?
At one point,
I just did bad things.
So that he can hate me.
Only then...I felt like his guilt may go away.
But he has never hated me even once.
Seeing that, I misbehaved more because I hated it.
If you knew his heart, why didn't you get along like before?
No...
Then I'll become a burden again.
You know this.
Even without me, you know how difficult his job is.
Right. But still, all this time...
Your feelings towards your brother hasn't changed, right?
At least once...I should've told him.
That it wasn't my real feelings. I should've told him.
I, so far up to now...
didn't know what pain was.
But I think I can feel it now,
what pain really is.
- Mr. Lee Woo Min.- Yes.
I have a gift to give you.
This afternoon, a cornea donor came forward who is a perfect match for you.
This is the long-awaited result of your brother applying and waiting.
Your brother must still be Superman, even in another world.
Oh right, you should show him that.
Woo Min!
Hyung.
I'm sorry.
When we were young, I couldn't really pay attention to you because of my part-time jobs.
I tried to fix your eye too, but a donor hasn't showed up yet.
If my eye was a match, I would've given it to you right away.
Hey, I thought it was possible among blood siblings.
I'm sorry about your eye.
Because of me...
Hyung...
Oh! If you look in the box, my account book is there. I couldn't save up much...
But if you find it, don't use it on anything else. Hold onto it
and use it for your eye transplant. You must do that.
Your eye has to recover soon, so I can leave somewhere far with my heart at ease.
Isn't that right?
Even though I've never said it, I'll say it for the first and last time,
I love you, my lil bro.
Hurry! Hurry up and give it!
Hurry up and give it to me!
- Hold on...wait.- I'm going to take it off.
Alright.
Take it off now.
- You want to wear this that bad?- Yeah.- Okay.
Hey, I'll take it off for you because you're Woo Min.
It's 119 Rescue Team. If you wear this, you'll become a rescue member.
- Really?-Of course, you rascal.
- Okay, let's see.- How do I look?
Since long ago, there has been research on what makes humans into superhumans.
It will probably continue on.
But I thought about what really makes people into superhumans.
Hey Woo Min! Get in there.
It's okay, just film him.
The answer is simple. It's humans themselves.
No devices or chemicals can surpass the human's emotional function.
And to humans, there's a protective measure for the emotional functions.
A very strong antibody.
Say cheese!- Smile.
Memories. That's what it is.
- Ahjussi!- Yes, Da Mi.
Are you perhaps?- He's my dad.
He arrived from US today.
I've heard so much about you and also, thank you.
- For taking care of my child.- Yes.
She said that?
She says she really want to see her mom.
You should know where her mom is, right?
I don't know yet, but I think I can find out.
I'm sorry if I'm being too forward, but...
Why did her mother leave when she was a baby?
That's a matter between married couples.
It will be difficult to explain.
I'm sorry. I asked you a personal question.
Still, I hope her mom will come by at least once.
Is there a problem with Da Mi by any chance?
Nope, not currently but you never know what the future holds.
There are symptoms that cannot be diagnosed.
And that sometimes hint at danger.
I think it's time for you to come.
I think he found out something.
Detective Kang!
Subtitles brought to you by the GQ4 Team @Viki.
- What?- Because I like you.
Me too.
The guy who came to the factory...did you verify his identity?
- Ah, you startled me!- Sunbaenim, can you keep it a secret?
She's Choi Seo Yeon, a pianist.
She died in the exact posiiof her playing the piano.
All the things filmed secretly were exposed.
He was always watching at a close distance.
That reporter guy knew something.
