- Blind and Elephant
$40K to diagnose cancer...
$100 per day hospitalization x 120 is $12K...
$4K in surgery.. $2K in treatment...
Total of $58K.
But why is he.. doing that?
Good morning~
Nobody’s here yet? I’m first?
It’s not time for a meeting yet, why is everyone over there?
Mr. Gong Chulsu!
Yes?
32 yrs old, female, Park Hyunju.
She was diagnosed with liver cancer in Sept. 06...
and was waiting for a transplant.
In May, 07 cancer cell grew and transplant was impossible.
2 wks ago, she had a sudden hypoglycemia,
she’s now in a vegetative state.
Her husband Kim Sunguk filed claim under accident insurance.
What? You didn’t mention that before.
Accident means it was a medical malpractice.
This is a tough one to prove.
I can’t tell by the document.
We can’t just ignore it when he came to claim it himself.
Who’s gonna take it?
Is this how y’all gonna play!
I will!
I’ll take it.
What?
Kangyi, why don’t you come on board. You’re the medical expert.
I want to start the ball rolling on my own.
- You WHAT on your own? - I’m ready to hold my own case.
Why don’t you try him? I can’t tag him along everywhere.
He’s ready but will he be good at it?
He has to do it sooner or later.
You’re saying that ‘cause you don’t want this case, right?
Of course not!
We’re not that kinda of people.
We want to train ‘em.
- We’re also shorthanded. - That's right.
But something’s..
Trust me, Chief!
I love the fact that you’re overseeing my work.
Not the fact that you have your own case?
Oh no...yes~
I’m just gonna watch. You’re on your own.
Yes, Ma’am. Don’t worry.
PCP is.. Kang Suho from Internal Medicine?
Isn’t he famous for liver transplant?
It’s more than a slap on the wrist if it’s his negligence.
The husband of Ms. Park at ICU filed for accident insurance.
As my negligence?
Yes.
You’ll see upon investigation but that’s impossible.
Could you sign a consent form so we could review records?
Let me know if there’s anything else I could help you with.
Thank you.
Ms. Joo
May I also get your business card?
A dog?
Not just any dog. It’s a $10K dog.
What kind of dog is $10K?
We no longer carry lost pet recovery insurance.
She was the last insured.
If it’s lost, we gotta pay. So wrap it up nicely.
It ran off on its own. Why do I have to go?
You’ll get lucky if you go.
What?
Sebastian?
The dog was out in the yard and the gate was shut.
But his collar is the only thing that’s left?
My poor Sebastian! My baby’s lost somewhere.
It doesn’t seem like someone opened it...
I think he went out on his own..
No, that can’t be!
Please find him for me. He’s like my baby.
I’m not here to find your dog.
Once his missing is confirmed, we’ll pay $1K in insurance...
Hello? Wait.
- Here. - For me?
Hello?
Are you Park Chanho from Investigation Unit?
I’m Direct Oh Sangjun.
Pardon?
He wants the dog found now! Didn’t you say I’ll get lucky?!
That’s it!~
Find the dog and Director Oh’s gonna clear your complaints.
How in the world am I gonna find a four legged animal?
Who knows, it could be waiting for you nearby.
- Show us how you work your magic~ - Chief!!
Or you prefer working at the office for one straight month?
Wai.. Wait a minute.
Why was he out in the yard?
It was a cleaning day and we had so much to do.
Washing the curtains and dishes and etc.
Whoa~ Sebastian! Sebastian!
It was just for a short moment. I’m fired if he’s not found.
You saw him last?
He was playing in the yard.
Sebastian~ Come here. Come here Sebastian!
You must’ve felt uncomfortable.
I was wet to my undies.
Well.. that’s possible.
Right, but you wouldn’t harm him for that.
Of course not.
It’s awfully hot.
I swear I didn’t do it.
Then who did?
I don’t know!
She had a rough night and a good reason to have so...
with her husband being so mean.
Mean? Her husband was?
He was pretty rough with her.
It was when..
When was it Miju?
About 2 days before she got worse.
Fine, you’re the big shot.
Absolutely can’t touch that money!
I know what I’m doing!
You do?!! Don’t you know what that money meant!
You don’t think I know where you used it?
What d’you know? Huh?! What d’you know!
They cared for each other very much. And said it’s just two of them in the world.
What?
I saw him crying when his wife was asleep,
like the night before she developed complications.
Was he crying because he was sorry about his attitude?
He doesn’t seem like that type of man.
Well, what you see isn’t always what is real.
So, it seems like you and Dr. Kang know each other well.
Not really. We were at a same hospital in the past.
Where we going now?
Kim Sunguk’s coming for a visit. Should we meet him?
Sure.
Aren’t you gonna answer?
Huh? Why don’t you go head and go.
Yes.
How you been?
What d’you wanna talk about?
Just.. wondering if investigation is handled right.
When we last saw each other, I think I was too...
Don’t worry. Investigation will be fair.
The person in charge is Gong Chulsu, so call him next time.
Do you know that the husband has a criminal record?
How is she?
She’s awake but shows no response.
It seems like she has no spirit.
How’s investigation?
On it. But I have a question.
Did you.. fight with your wife at the hospital?
Yes, that’s what I did to someone sick.
I’m.. such a loser.
Can I ask… why?
Wanna drink?
This, Hyunju knitted.
She’s good.
You’re so nice. Look at it closely.
She missed here and..here. She’s all thumbs.
But she wanted to do it for me because she never has.
She knitted even when she was bed resting and I hated that.
I told her I was gonna throw them out.
I should’ve let her do it.
She can’t do anything now.
I still carry her yarn in my trunk.
Can’t seem to throw anything of her’s away.
His name is Kim Sunguk. Born in 1974.
Could you please check his criminal record?
Mr. Kim Sunguk?
Do you remember me?
I’m from Life Forever Insurance. I have a question for you.
What is it?
Where were you when Ms. Park was diagnosed with cancer?
Get in.
Alright.
- Detention Center in Anyang? - His wife’s brother?
It was an involuntary manslaughter.
He pushed him at a bar which caused concussion.
Should’ve served about 2 yrs.
Then she lived with a guy who killed her brother?
He was a scoundrel. Ripping off on Hyunju.
Life insurance of $100K was paid to Ms. Park...
who was the beneficiary.
Fortunately. When I was serving time,
Hyunju made a living with that money.
You don’t seem regretful or sorry to the deceased.
You think I did it on purpose?
Absolutely not. But I’m also not sorry.
If he’s alive, he’d still be harassing Hyunju who’s dying.
…is not available to take your call.
Where she go? She said she’ll be right back.
She’s giving me too much credit.
Seriously? Oh my goodness. In Dr. Kang’s office?
She came by herself after leaving with another investigator.
Didn’t it happen 7 yrs ago? Are they on it again?
I’m sure she still has feeling left for him.
Maybe she came on purpose knowing its Dr. Kang’s case.
I wished her luck in her new adventure.
I heard those who went to insurance tend to look down on her
There’s rumor as to how she used men to get promoted so fast
Really? That’s new.. seriously, wow..
Let’s get back to work.
Why? I’m not done yet.
Wait! About what you just said…
Why.. It’s nothing. Let’s go.
You have 4 cameras and there’s nothing?
Not even from the one shooting the gate?
Nop. Not a single soul went out.
May I see the tapes?
It’s with the police. They filed a missing report.
What? Because of a dog? A dog?
Energize up with the drink.
What today?
Um.. well.. a dog missing from Pyongchang.. that’s $10K..
Yes, yes.. you’re here on a missing Sebastian case!
- Yes. - I’m sorry For any delay
What d’you need? We’ll cooperate with anything you say.
Yes.. Thank you..
Hey!
Thank you. Sir~
Hey~
Wow~
You’re in trouble again?
No, not a trouble. What happen? Win lotto or something?
Somewhat similar.. Are they case recordings?
These?
Police asked for your help? What kinda case is it?
Perhaps, is it a multiple murder case?
Well.. it’s.. never mind. Did you buy this chicken?
Hold this for a sec.
Real carefully.
Try to look beyond what you see to find the truth.
C’mon..
Is Ms. Joo back?
No, no yet.
Weren’t you together? Is she goofing off?
Is Dr. Kang somehow related to her quitting the hospital?
What? Can’t you see I’m loaded? Hold these.
Am I right?
Well…
Out of all places, why was HE there?
What’s wrong with him?
That’s what I mean. Anyways.. damage it huge.
How can she do that looking so innocent?
Innocent?
Who?
Chulsu’s here, isn’t he?
Yes.
You should go back to office after work.
Having your own case makes you this excited?
Yes, I’m excited. Very excited.
But you must be excited too.
What’s wrong with him?
Must be dreaming.
Were you happy to see him after a long time?
Or maybe it wasn’t long afterall.
Who knows, you could’ve seen him all along.
- Gong Chulsu. Stop it. - No it’s alright.
Go ahead. Who am I seeing?
Was he that good?
What was so attractive about a married man...
I said STOP IT, you Idiot!
You alright?
No.
Shake it off. It was nothing..
I’m not alright looking at your face. So leave me alone.
Old missy, you have a princess complex?
I have appointment and have to take a bus here.
You wanna die? Whose old miss!
The one sitting next to me..
Today, you could pass as somewhat attractive.
You lost your mind?
No.. Wow, I think I’m drunk. Weird.. I didn’t drink a lot.
Stop being a bad drunk and go home.
Wanna change? I’ll do it.
What?
It’s totally awesome. Where is $10K Sebastian!
It’s full of surprises and excitement. Can’t you feel it!
No thanks.
Mister. Mister!
What…? Sebastian!
Go and sleep at your house.
Where am I?
How could she ditch me like this. What men would want…
He’s a wonder too..
So you’re suspecting the husband?
He claims negligence without proper proof, that troubles me.
It’s not possible with her medical history.
And if you think about how he killed his brother-in-law and got insurance..
You’re being too harsh.
If she had no such history,
we could in turn question the doctor’s negligence.
We were told investigators have to be impartial.
Don’t you think you’re biased to think he killed his wife...
just because he has a criminal record?
Who said one can’t kill because they lived together?
You know what’s the probability for liver cancer to develop into hypoglycemia?
That’s what I mean.
There’s low probability
So it’s possible such was caused
The only thing that could cause hypoglycemia is overdosed insulin...
prescribed in diabetes.
Park was in a cancer ward and insulin is not even used there. In the chart..
How can you trust the chart? It could be manipulated.
How in the world did husband know...
insulin related hypoglycemia is a complication of liver cancer!
Why are you taking part with the doctor?
I’m not. There’s more to the husband than it being a simple malpractice case.
That’s what you think but this is my case.
I do remember that couple. They were so in love.
Right?
He cared more about her than himself.
That’s why I nagged you to learn from him. Right?
Yes. He was very polite and nice young man.
Follow after me.
What’re you doing!
Why don’t you get a CNA license too?
No~ I can’t. I’m too old for that.
Wait. A CNA license?
- That’s WHAT he said, right? - Yes.
Yes. He said he studied for it because his wife had cancer.
That’s not easy to do. We envied his youthful energy.
He must be really tired.
Huh? It’s empty.
Hey, Ms. Jung.
- You wake? - Thank you.
Where did you go Sebastian?
Is this live in real time? Woo~ it’s responding.
You’re my angel! That’s right…
The dog was really friendly. It would follow anyone.
Bon appetit~ Is it for lunch?
She wants kimchee noodle for lunch.
That’s the way to go in this hot weather.
Some kimchee over the rice with beef broth…
Woo~ are these all kimchee?
Yes. There only two in the family but so much to do.
This is white kimchee, that’s radish kimchee, that’s...
Wait.
Dog hair.
That’s trace of his shedding.
You said you cleaned the whole house.
Hair floats around.
C’mon~ it’s done by someone we know.
It simply responded to a call.
I didn’t do it!
Then who did?
Don’t know!
The only tangible evidence is this hair.
Something feels not right.. something hot.. and wet..
What!! Oh man~~ what is this..
Mini! I’m so sorry.
For dry cleaning
- No, it’s okay. Don’t worry about it. - But still... I’m so sorry.
Well, I do have a question.
Yes?
Your neighbor lost her dog and I’m trying to find it.
Sebastian? You’re looking for him?
Yes, very hard.
But wouldn’t there be a witness? It’s not a small dog.
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it went out on its own.
- Why is that? - She’s one heck of…
She has little bit of edge.
I’d say it went out because of that.
Dog? A dog? This dog??
Stop calling her dog. This is my baby and she understands.
Yes, of course she does.
No form, only dog hair.. man…
The dog’s really friendly. It follows anyone.
There must be a witness. It’s not a small dog.
It’s responding to a call.
Sebastian!
I do remember his CNA license but he was a cold guy never really helped her.
- he was… cold? - Yes. I Don’t have anything else to say.
Kinda busy with changing room for a hepatitis patient.
A hepatitis patient in a cancer ward? Aren’t you gonna ask?
Why? He wasn’t even hospitalized during Ms. Park’s stay.
Then what about her roommates? Did you check their charts?
They’re all cancer patients. No connection to insulin..
Get Dr. Kang’s approval first so you could review records.
I know what I’m doing. So please go.
Excuse me.
Isn’t this insulin prescription? For two days.
She’s diabetic.
She often lost her insulin because it was in a form of pen.
Room 201 is the room Park Hyunju was at.
She’s not evena cancer patient but they were in a same room?
She was in urgent state but there were no room.
What was it.. Yeah, she was in coma by acute hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia?
Gong Chulsu came to ask for my signature on a consent form.
I’ve nothing to hide so I signed it.
You are conducting a fair investigation, right?
Why, you don’t think we’re being impartial?
You have nothing to hide but is something bothering you?
No, nothing. It’s just that... we came to a bad end.
No, that was the best part.
I told you. Don’t even act like you know me.
About quitting the hospital, I don’t think its...
Do you still have feelings left for me?
Stop it.
I’m sick and tired of you not understanding.
Now I remember. I forgot about it.
Kangyi
But, did YOU forget your own words?
Like you said... I don’t act like I know you.
But someone does..
It was all for you. You were being harassed..
But then, I can’t divorce. So, it was all for you
- Look, - Ms. Joo
Let’s go.
I remember that couple.
Please keep the amount next time. Just this much. Got it?
It’s that I’m greedy…
Something bad could happen.
You were fine this time but you could’ve passed in 2-3 hours.
Give her hard time. Mom deserves more.
Please ask the nurse to keep it elsewhere.
There’s no elsewhere.
Still, you can’t put it with water and other drinks.
What if something goes wrong. Are you gonna be responsible?
Sorry.
They were rude.
Even though it was our fault, we still felt uncomfortable.
But we understand. She was suffering from late stage cancer.
You were prescribed with insulin twice in a roll.
Do you remember?
Insulin pen that was in a staffs’ refrigerator was gone. So..
It was gone?
Yes. We couldn’t find it.
Who would’ve used it? From nursing staff?
Staffs would’ve known it was insulin.
But no proof as to insulin in the pen is the same insulin given to Park.
Insulin from body is different to insulin in the pen.
- We could find out by blood test. - Would it be at the clinic?
Let’s go.
Um… are you alright?
About what?
No, just…
I am totally fine...
supervising someone whose stubborn as a mule.
When did I… yeah? I guess I am..
It’s been collected. Patient Park Hyunju.
We need consent from doctor and guardian to request an exam?
Someone already did.
Who?
You’re here again. What is it now?
When will the result be in?
What makes you think I requested it?
You didn’t ask what exam I was referring to.
I checked with the clinic.
It’ll be out tomorrow morning.
Did nurse make a mistake? Why did you request?
The husband could’ve done it. He’s desperate for money.
If you’re spitting that much blood, you should get examined.
I’m fine.
I still recommend you get one fast.
I could take care of myself.
But please don’t tell my wife.
Guess he was in need of money.
But still, he wouldn’t kill his wife, would he?
If my life’s on the line… well..
When did I say that.
Kangyi, what d’you think?
He was viewed as a caring husband to one but cold to others.
Isn’t there an Indian fable to this?
Story of blind fumbling this and fumbling that...
Blind and Elephant! 6 blindmen happened to touch an elephant
One who touched the nose said it’s like a snake.
One who touched the ear said it’s like a fan.
But no one knew its real form.
Life is like living as a blind with sight. Form.. That’s hard.
So when are you gonna find the form itself?
Sebastian!
Excuse me. Ma’am.
I’m looking for a dog, Sebastian. This is the picture..
Wait, could you look at the picture? Did you hear barking
Knock it off.
Wait, Sebastian is..
Mister, what d’you think you’re doing.
Why d’you have to make so much noise searching for the dog?
You know how many calls I got?
Sorry.
What was the time frame?
Well.. can’t really remember.
Then stay there until you do.
Is this really necessary? You could give me a break.
We got multiple reports.
Still, writing a report on this kinda matter is..
You’re at a wrong place.
Complaints are filed everyday for everything.
They even check on you to see if it’s done.
Last time a complaint was filed...
because she lost her housekeeper to someone else.
The lady refused to return so...
she cut a tree branch that was hanging over to her side.
The owner of the tree then filed a complaint alleging trespassing.
It’s an absolute mess. Totally dirty...
They all look so gentle and decent.
Right? They’re full of hypocrites.
What you see isn’t what’s there. You’re in for a trouble.
Oh, we’re here. You could drop me off here. Thank you~
Hey, isn’t this house the one with the housekeeper?
Right~ and that’s the one whose tree was cut.
Where is it?
What?
Sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees.
And we gotta try to see the whole picture.
First, you put him in the basement,..
then sent him out at night, didn’t you?
I didn’t do it. I only helped the driver who did.
Where did it go next?
That’s right. Here.
You’re speaking Greek. Why would Sebastian be here?
It’s a pity.
What a mean person, Tree is also a life.
But that doesn’t justify kidnapping of a dog. It’s also a life.
Didn’t you say they understand?
What did I do! Get out!
Yes~ Sebastian~
What’re you doing?
Sebastian! Sebas
Oh, our nice Sebastian always answers when it’s called.
Just like human.
I said NO! Get out!
I was gonna make it right!
What!
I was afraid I might get fired if it’s lost.. at least that’s what she said.
When did I? Why’re you doing this to me?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Even if it was her idea, you would’ve loved it.
What a sweet revenge.
You know what it means to lose your pet. Right? No?
Knock it off. Get him out of here.
Sebastian?
The husband used a refrigerator.
What?
What is this?
It’s porridge. There’s no room in our refrigerator.
But it doesn’t smell.
He, himself put it in?
Yes.
Is there anyone else who came?
Not that I know of. Why? Is it important?
You got the result?
That insulin was not secreted from the body.
- Then… it’s… - the husband.
There’s no proof Kim Sunguk ever touched it.
Refrigerator in the staff’s office.. Kim Sunguk used it.
Gong Chulsu, wait!
Mr. Park come in quickly!
Do you think that’s crocodile tears?
Well…
I can’t understand how in the world he could do such a thing...
Was it really him?
I drank with him...
He seemed so sincere. It had to be…
You have a call. Take it.
Hello?
What?
I saw her at the refrigerator that morning. She wanted porridge.
Are you sure?
Yes, why?
It hasn’t been touched.
Honey,
What?
Take a good care of yourself.
Don’t worry about me. Go back to sleep.
Honey,
Yeah?
I’m sorry.
Don’t say that, please.
I’ll be back soon.
Heat it up before you eat.
Yes.
Why did you do it?
What?
I forgot that you’re not a man who would ask for an exam for sake of others.
What is your real motive?
Don’t have one.
Did you tell Park about Kim spitting blood?
I’m sure you told her about the complications.
She came to see you, didn’t she?
To check whether she could die from hypoglycemia.
When was that?
I’m not legally responsible.
I’ve an obligation as a doctor
But then you still said the husband was suspicious?
You can’t be sure it was a suicide with insulin result.
It could still be the husband..
Why don’t you change your occupation to an investigator?
We have a witness who saw Park near insulin that morning.
We also found a pen.
Fingerprint analysis will confirm it.
It’s not my fault. I’m not responsible.
Yeah, you are who you were, with no conscience.
And that’s who you’ll always be.
Kangyi!
Seriously, let’s not act like we know each other.
Are you gonna talk about... suicide... to Kim?
Well, that’s up to the person in charge.
C’mon Ms. Joo…
Seriously what d’you wanna do?
If he knows it’s a suicide, will he be able to live on?
If it were me, it’s gonna be hard.
So… I just…
Yeah, we have to go on with our life.
Kim Sunguk… will he be alright?
No matter how hard and painful you feel...
you still get hungry and you could still laugh.
At first I was so empty and dumbfounded.
I felt guilty for laughing after just crying..
He’ll learn to smile again with time.
Isn’t that Chanho?
- WHAT were You doing there? - I found the dog.
THAT’s $10K?
That looks like a dirty mutt.
Oh man~ I hand washed my car yesterday.
Stop it. He went through hell today.
Damn!
It’s slobbering on the car! Is it infected with rabies?
How am I gonna wash this! Just washed my car..
You two are THE champions of filth.
So dirty…
Next Story.
So, what!
I think I see it.
You think I’m fishing, pretending like I don’t see it?
Busted~
You take pictures?
Can I take a quick look at your camera?
You don’t take pictures with eyes.
Oh~ my father~
Am I gonna see the end of me?
How much will I see…
You lost sight on both eyes.
