[Episode 2]
[Doctor saves patient]
A plastic surgeon in Gangnam, Seoul has
rescued a woman who was his patient
from being kidnapped
and has become a topic of discussion.
The doctor had previously
seen the victim being assaulted by her ex
[Delivering Perfect Details]
in the parking lot of the plastic surgery clinic,
witnessed it on-site, rescued her,
and performed emergency surgery.
This time, as the man forced the discharged
woman into a vehicle and fled,
the doctor immediately followed
and rescued her promptly.
It is known that
the woman's life is not in danger.
Jeong Woo, give me your hand.
Hold on, I am a doctor.
I've found it, the bleeding point.
I will maintain this state
until we reach the operating room.
Doctor.
[Hye Jin]
Oppa.
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier.
What do you mean
by that? What's wrong?
Hye Jin.
Hye Jin.
Please help, my girlfriend is alone at home.
Are you okay? Please say
something.
Are you okay?
Hye Jin.
It's dangerous there.
Is there anything that turned up?
Around the balcony railing and the windows,
there are no fingerprints
or particular signs of outsiders.
And the inside of the house is clean,
with no signs of bloodstains.
Please contact me when the
additional forensic results come out.
Ok.

How long will it take?
Can't you just stop and leave?
Excuse me, Officer Kim,
please set up the line and have
people stay behind it.
Yes.
Miss, please leave quickly.
Were the memos on the calendar
written by your father?
Have you heard anything about that hospital?
Do you know when it was written?
It's probably suicide.
Just finish it quickly, please.
Polished shoes.
Dried jacket.
Jeong Woo, where are you?
I'm going out now, why?
Have you not seen the article yet?
The father of a patient
who was refused treatment
at a famous plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam,
committed suicide by
jumping off from his house.
Amidst assumptions of an extreme choice,
a suicide note with criticism
towards the doctor
has reportedly been found.
I told the director not to come
to the hospital for now.
We'll have to watch the situation.
Director Cha has a full surgery schedule today.
What surgeries can be done in this situation?
No matter how much I think about it,
it doesn't seem like it's the director's fault.
The news seems a bit exaggerated.
How did the suicide note get released?
There's nothing journalists
wouldn't find for a clickbait.
What do we do now?
The news is everywhere.
What?
Did you have a fight with the guardian?
Why did you refuse to treat her?
Your name was mentioned in the suicide note,
do you think there's moral responsibility?
- Do you acknowledge the responsibility?
- Please say something.
- Please clarify your position.
- We request a statement.
Why aren't you answering the phone?
Jeong Woo, it's not an issue where legal
responsibility can be attributed to you,
but I don't know how
the bereaved family will react.
Is it good to stir public opinion
about the plastic surgery issue?
It's not a matter of being complacent,
but you still need
to have a response strategy ready.
I know a senior
who's well-versed in medical law…
You didn't button up properly.
Huh?
Hey, Cha Jeong Woo,
now is not the time to worry about this.
It's been a while
since I've seen you like this.
Did you rush out because Woo Jin contacted you?
You should have at least answered the phone.
You said there's no legal issue.
Emotionally.
Are you okay?
As you can see.
With the strong backing of a lawyer,
what's there to worry about?
Let's get going. I have a surgery to perform.
Don't worry too much.
It's not your fault.
Move the end of the chin to the right.
While cleaning up the liposuction
and the deep cheeks,
let's try to slim it down a bit.
See you in the operating room.
[40 years old man commits suicide after
his daughter being denied at the clinic]
We'll move out now.
Excuse me…
Is the doctor mentioned this doctor?
Is it true that it's the director, Dr. Cha?
Let's go out and I'll explain.
- Are you sure this is that doctor?
- You're right.
If you don't trust us,
you can cancel the surgery.
The beauty center
inside the resort aims to provide
the best service to its customers.
But there were issues raised
about Director Cha Jeong Woo's
patient response method.
The plan to invite him
as a partner doctor is temporarily on hold.
[Plastic Surgeon / Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Kim Seok Hoon]
Reporter Kim?
This is Director Kim,
from KSH Cosmetic Surgery.
Have you ever seen someone going in and out
of the next door last night?
I haven't seen anything.
Then what about any strange noises--
Did something come out?
There are no witnesses
and the CCTV at the entrance is empty,
so it's hard to check who came in.
It seems that there is no clear sign
of a crime at the scene.
It's just too clean.
And they say it's not the first time.
What do you mean?
You have a daughter.
What? I don't even have a girlfriend,
what are you talking about?
But that daughter is sick.
You really want to give her surgery.
So you keep looking for hospitals, and when
you go, they say they can't do the surgery.
So you look up another
hospital from home again.
But then, why…
Why did he commit suicide
after looking up all these hospitals?
That's right.
We need to check the reservation
details with the hospitals.
They said they couldn't give out patient
information over the phone.
You should go check it out in person.
Check the date of the inquiry call.
Cross-check Mr. Nam Gi Taek's
mobile phone call history.
Yes.
But that Doctor Cha Jeong Woo, really…
He went between heaven and hell overnight.
From a righteous doctor who saved a patient,
to a doctor mentioned in a dead person's note.
It's really hard to understand humans.
You seem very poised.
Collect all the vehicles black-box recordings.
- Alone?
- Yes.
You speak quite comfortably.
You want me to cooperate?
Jeong Woo, the patient you refused
because the surgery was not profitable.
The materialistic doctor
who caused that father's death.
We have to shake off that disgrace quickly.
You'll live, I'll live, and so
will the Bintan Project, right?
Provisional hold means
provisional hold, doesn't it?
So, what kind of cooperation
are you asking for?
You'll just stand quietly next to me,
as I'll take care of everything.
So, tell me, what exactly do you plan to do?
Uh, hello?
Director Han?
Hello? Hello?
Anyway, I've told you,
understand?
Hey, are you there?
Don't say anything else!
Why isn't he answering the phone?
Hi!
You must have some good news.
It seems like some good news has just come up.
Excuse me.
I'd like to ask for a drink
that suits this lady.
You are stunning.
If only your double eyelids were symmetrical.
Pardon?
I don't say this to just anyone.
Oh my, Director at KSH?
What about my double eyelids?
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
The direct cause of death
is multiple bone fractures
leading to major organ damage.
Intoxication and antidepressant
consumption at the time of death.
There's nothing else, is there?
I still have some questions…
It was lung cancer.
I found it while organizing the personal items.
[Patient diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer]
He tried to get surgery for his girl before dying.
He jumped out of anger
because they had a dispute.
Close the internal investigation
as a natural death case.
W-Wait a moment.
Ms. Hyo Ju.
He must have wanted the surgery
done by any means necessary.
Because that would lessen the guilt.
My face.
It's because of my dad.
It was a hard time because
of my mom who left home.
It was a mistake made while drunk.
He even apologized profusely to me.
What good does an apology do?
My life is already ruined like this.
What happened to my face to make him do that?
What kind of surgery was he denied
that led him to suicide?
Now it seems like all my personal
information is going to be revealed.
Please…
Just stop it, please.
Because I don't want a criminal
as my dad to hold back my life.
Because you want to forget quickly,
you just want the investigation
or whatever to end quickly.
I know you want that.
But I'll pretend not to know that for a while.
Until all my doubts are cleared.
- Just let go!
- Stay still.
I'm not like that, I'm not!
You rat, stay still! Request support
from the narcotics team.
Because I don't want a criminal
as my dad to hold back my life.
- I'm not like that!
- Be quiet.
- What are you looking at?
- Be quiet.
Come here quickly.
Ah, really, what's the big deal?
What are you doing? Look at this.
What kind of cooperation are you asking for?
Jeong Woo, hurry.
- What are you doing?
- Oh, come on…
Let's maintain this position.
What is it now?
Doctor first.
Our hospital also feels morally
responsible for his death,
and we intend to take this
as an opportunity for reflection.
Recently, our director,
Cha Jeong Woo, dealt with a crime
by performing plastic surgery on a victim,
personally demonstrating the public value
and significance of plastic surgery.
And we plan to continuously
make the social contribution.
Is Director Cha Jeong Woo personally
conducting plastic surgery on crime victims?
- Ah--
- Yes, of course.
Providing medical support to victims for free,
that is our plan. For free.
In cooperation with the police, Jurisdiction,
everything has been settled
with the police station.
[Death Certificate / Autopsy Report]
Yes, this is the violent crimes division.
A PC café?
Yes, I'm about to leave, so please send me
the report details and the location right away.
Yes.
I have to go to the scene.
What's the case about?
It's a case suspected to be a sexual
offense at a nearby PC café.
- I'll get the car, contact the forensic first.
- Yes.
If you need a consultation with that plastic
surgery clinic, contact them, okay?
We have a partnership with a hospital
for medical support for victims!
Well, since we decided to do it,
let's think of it as donating our talents.
Only up to three cases.
Case number one is completed,
and just two more cases.
Don't say anything else.
Three should be enough.
It doesn't make sense
financially, and I don't like it either.
Interviews are absolutely out of the question.
You're being quite the star.
Take your hand out of the pocket.
Huh? What?
I said take your hand out…
Hurry.
[Seoul Southern Police Station
KSH Cosmetic Surgery Clinic]
[Medical Support for Crime Victims]
[Business Partnership Agreement]
Please take good care of us.
Look here. We'll take a commemorative photo.
This isn't an interview.
You have to go to Bintan.
Smile.
Let's smile.
Okay, I'll take the picture now.
One, two, three.
The victim is a man in his 20s, they reported
an attempted sexual assault in the bathroom.
Is it true that the perpetrator was wounded
by a knife wielded by the victim?
Is he the victim? Is he badly injured?
The injuries to the face are severe.
- First, he needs to go to the hospital.
- Yes.
I'll contact you from the hospital.
Can't we go to a plastic surgery clinic?
- First, go to the nearby emergency room--
- But it's the face.
It's not just anything, it's the face…
[Women's Restroom Under Repair - Do Not Use]
[Women's Restroom Under Repair - Do Not Use]
It's okay. Don't worry.
Nothing will happen, it's alright.
- Are there any injuries?
- No.
She is a bit traumatized,
so she said she will come out later.
I am Detective Lee Min Hyeong from
the Southern Station violent crimes division.
First, we need to move you to a different spot
for you to give your statement…
That rat touched my girlfriend.
He is the one who reported it.
He said his girlfriend was sexually harassed.
He's a complete sicko.
It was that part-timer.
He was weird from the start.
Pretending to clean, he kept
stealing glances at Soo Bin's legs.
I just thought it was nothing and ignored it.
You, there.
You can clean up a bit later, can't you?
If you leave it, it gets sticky.
Just don't.
I'm sorry.
- I need to use the bathroom.
- Ok.
[Women's restroom under repair - Do not use]
I felt something was off, so I followed her.
Luckily, she had a self-defense
jackknife or something.
If she didn't have that, really…
Do you always carry a knife with you?
Yes, for self-defense.
Anyway, you should go to the hospital
for a check-up and to secure evidence.
Are you okay to move?
The symmetry is good,
and the function is perfect.
Good.
You seem to have some good news.
I just got some.
So, when is the surgery?
The manager will sort that out.
- I'll see you that day.
- Yes, take care.
Director Han, you've worked hard.
Hard work? Well, everyone works hard.
Is Director Cha doing okay?
Are there still surgery cancellations?
Luckily, there are no additional
cancellations, but…
The Bintan partner doctor position
is on temporary hold.
What does that mean?
Haven't you seen the article yet?
Article? What article?
Director Cha is inside now, right?
Hey, Cha Jeong Woo, you…
Is this for real?
The article came out.
Is this someone else's business?
This is about you.
It's the chief director's issue.
So, are you going to do as you're told?
Cha Jeong Woo, you?
A victim of a crime, a traumatized patient?
They say to cover it up, what can I do?
Cha Jeong Woo, what about the crime victim?
They absolutely need that
consolation and empathy.
But you, having discarded all
such emotions and come here,
treating them is like setting a time bomb.
What's the difference from lighting the fuse?
Apart from empathy and consolation,
I said I would do the surgery.
It's going to explode soon. It'll explode.
Pardon?
Come on up, a patient has arrived.
What patient?
[Laceration]
A 12CM laceration from the cheekbone to the chin.
[Artery, Nerve]
Judging by the controlled bleeding,
[Artery, Nerve]
the artery and nerve seem to be fine.
It's said he followed a woman to the bathroom.
It's unclear whether this is
the perpetrator or the victim.
Let's start with the treatment, anyway.
And then we consider
the second case is completed?
Yes.
If it's a simple suture,
wouldn't that be a non-issue?
Are you saying you're
going to select patients now?
No, it's not necessarily that, but,
if possible, something
that could make an issue.
Do we have to wait longer?
We need to stitch it up quickly
and start the investigation.
Yes.
Mr. Yoon Min Soo,
please sit down, let me take a look.
Aren't you going to receive treatment?
Will there be scars?
There can't be none.
This is not it.
Doctor, this can't be real, can it?
Mr. Yoon Min Soo, please calm down.
Please, fix my face.
I really didn't do anything.
Calm down and let's start
with the medical treatment.
Yes? If you get treated,
something can surely be done.
[Emergency Medical Center]
Shall we get off?
Well… not really.
I'm not hurt.
Do I really have to go?
There's a Sunflower Center
next to the emergency center.
It's a place with only female
doctors, so you can feel safe.
For the treatment of sexual assault victims,
or for the collection of evidence.
It's not like I was sexually assaulted,
I just don't want to be
misunderstood for no reason.
It's okay to talk about it here, right?
Yes.
I'm going to start recording.
Inside the PC, your boyfriend,
Mr. Park Dong Gun,
had a fight with the suspect, and
after that, he said you went to the restroom.
Yes.
When I came out of the restroom,
right in front of the door…
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?
Move aside!
I said move!
Move aside!
I was so shocked that, at the moment, I
swung the knife at Soo Bin without knowing.
And then, did your boyfriend,
Park Dong Gun, come in?
Yes.
This is self-defense, right?
It seems so, given the circumstances.
But, for now, let's move to the center
to collect evidence.
What evidence?
I didn't really have
any direct physical contact.
Besides physical contact,
traces on the victim's clothes or
belongings can also be taken as evidence.
The starting point is quite deep.
If you feel any discomfort, let me know.
I don't have any.
If we need any additional
statements, I'll contact you.
Yes.
- Are you done? Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Gosh…
Can I go now?
Just a moment.
- Are you done? Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Gosh…
Can I go now?
Just a moment.
Ah, it looks like it splashed
from the restroom floor.
It seems like it could be useful evidence
for reconstructing the scene.
Would you mind taking them off?
How am I supposed to go without my shoes?
Yes, this is Officer Lee Min Hyeong.
You have spare shoes at the center, right?
Yes?
I'll take the statement from the accused.
You go to the PC room and investigate the area.
Where is the hospital? Give me the location.
What?
Doctor Cha Jeong Woo?
Min Soo is so taciturn.
He is always just drawing,
and he's a bit peculiar.
But, I'm not sure if this is related…
For now, please tell me.
Recently, a female customer in the restroom
complained about someone lurking around,
so I checked the CCTV.
Is that so?
But it's not like he entered
a place with people around,
nor did he install something like a camera,
so, we just let it slide.
Cut.
The suturing is all done.
Please give me a mirror.
- Mr. Yoon Min Soo's treatment--
- Please wait outside.
What? The suturing is all done--
This is a hospital, and I am the doctor.
Will you take responsibility if
something goes wrong with the patient?
I can't give you much time.
When was the surgery done?
Just a moment.
What happened?
Move to the operating room
as soon as the ultrasound is done.
Yes.
You said the operating room?
Mr. Yoon Min Soo will be
going into surgery immediately.
What? What kind of surgery?
Starting the removal surgery
of patient Yoon Min Soo's breast implants.
Bovie.
After being diagnosed with gender
dysphoria, received hormone therapy
and had breast surgery 3 weeks ago.
The surgical site is severely inflamed.
There's a risk of
sepsis,
and the patient has agreed
to have the implants removed.
A patient in a critical state
due to surgical complications
has attempted sexual assault?
And that too, a patient with gender dysphoria?
Yoon Min Soo
was previously seen lurking around
the women's restroom,
and they got complaints.
Yoon Min Soo, whose gender identity is female,
needed the women's restroom,
and was worried about being
misunderstood due to the appearance,
So, she was checking to see
if there was anyone around.
It wouldn't be easy to speak about that fact.
This is self-defense, right?
What evidence?
I didn't have any direct physical contact.
Then, it means
we need something else.
- Is the surgery over?
- Yes.
- Yoon Min Soo's surgery record--
- You can't get it.
The patient won't consent to it either.
If consent were given
to disclose all medical records,
you'd have already talked to the police, right?
It's possible that he may
not be the perpetrator,
since only circumstantial
evidence is barely convincing.
Just because someone is a transgender
person doesn't make it the basis.
This means that we should
look for another angle now.
It's difficult to clear Yoon Min Soo
of the assault charges
merely with the surgery records.
We need to look for another method.
In other words,
even the doctor in charge of the victim
might think that Mr. Yoon Min Soo
may not be the assailant.
Is my opinion important?
Suspicion needs to accumulate momentum.
Thank you for your efforts.
May I ask just one thing?
Why do this? The victim medical support.
As someone who doesn't like
to interfere with patient affairs.
Why particularly treat a crime victim's case?
You don't seem the type to be told to do it.
Maybe sincerity?
Just do the investigation.
This isn't real, isn't it?
Please fix my face, I beg you, do something.
I really didn't do anything.
[Yoon Min Soo]
Why do this? Victim medical support.
I confirmed through the CCTV
that he was lurking around the locker room.
But at that time, as there wasn't
any criminal activity, I just let it go.
But now they say a harassment case
has occurred in the same place.
Isn't he a repeated offender? Despicable guy.
This scum needs chemical castration
or just needs to be castrated.
What about the victim's condition
related to the crime?
Still hospitalized.
Why still in the hospital?
The sutured area is quite large,
it needs treatment for inflammation.
Is it something to brag about,
that the victim went to plastic surgery?
Bring the victim here, immediately.
There's something I need to check before that.
What is it?
I'll report back after checking.
Then I'll also…
Ah, hey!
You go and bring the suspect.
What's the big deal
about a few stitches on the face?
Are you hiding her at the hospital?
Go!
The reconstructive surgery went well.
Everyone must be talking about me.
If it becomes known that I had surgery…
I don't disclose surgical records
without my patient's consent.
He lied that his girlfriend
did it in self-defense.
They'll probably blame me even more.
Saying that kind of guy deserves it
for having gender reassignment surgery.
Self-defense?
Because it's the only way
they can get away with it.
Director, the police is asking
if patient Yoon Min Soo can be discharged.
Saying that she has to go for an inquiry.
Yes, everything's done here.
What's the matter?
[Blood Pattern Analysis Lab]
I am Detective Seo Gang Ho from
the Southern Precinct's violent crimes team.
What brings you here?
I have something to discuss with you.
What about Mr. Park Dong Gun?
Is he inside?
He had something to do, so he stepped out.
Do you want to come in?
Please.
He said he might not be able to come today,
since he went to the countryside.
Stop!
Try to get away, you rat.
Hey, are you okay?
What is it?
How did you know about this place?
Hey, Mr. Park Dong Gun.
Let's go together.
Let's just go together.
Darn!
- Hi!
- You startled me.
Oh, you came?
Yes.
Ugh!
Ah, let's go together.
Let's go.
Huh? Let's go.
Let's go quietly.
Ah!
Now, Mr. Park Dong Gun, you are
under arrest for assault
and false accusation against Yoon Min Soo,
as well as obstruction of justice.
Hey, are you all right?
Seems like I've sprained my ankle,
but it will get better.
But, what happened?
Why are you here, of all places?
Because of Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
What's the matter?
How tall is the woman who cut her face?
Excuse me?
Why do you ask?
The depth of the wound at the
starting point, the cheekbone area,
is more than twice as deep as the end.
The direction of the wound
is also from top to bottom.
If the shoulder height of the person
wielding the weapon had been lower,
the direction of the wound
would have gone from bottom to top,
and at the starting point
of the wound, the cheekbone,
it wouldn't have been possible
to apply enough force to scratch the bone.
[Yoon Min Soo's wounds]
So, the perpetrator must be taller.
Why did you miss it?
Yoon Min Soo went straight to the hospital,
so there was no time to examine the wound.
It was also covered with a dressing.
Did Dr. Cha Jeong Woo tell you this
when they took Yoon Min Soo away?
Yes, very unexpectedly.
It is like a subtle consideration out of
concern for secondary harm to the victim?
- What are you talking about?
- There is such a thing.
By the way, why did you go to Park Dong Gun?
Solid evidence came out.
What is it?
Upon hearing Ms. Lee Soo Bin's scream
and rushing to the bathroom,
Yoon Min Soo was already covered in blood.
That's what you stated?
Yes. Why do you ask?
But your sneakers show that
it was not the case.
You see the tail-like pattern
at the end of the elliptical bloodstain?
This is called a cast-off bloodstain.
When a moving object stops,
blood drips off, leaving this kind of pattern.
Typically, when the weapon is swung
quickly and then stopped,
the blood on the weapon flies off
and creates such stains…
The pattern of the splashed blood is here,
on your sneakers.
Which means it was you, Mr. Park Dong Gun,
at the scene at the time of the attack!
Darn it.
You, there.
You can clean up a bit later, can't you?
You can't bring alcohol in here.
Just stop it, will you?
I'm sorry.
I need to use the restroom.
[Women's Restroom Under Repair - Do Not Use]
Hey, I said I'll clean it up later.
Are you crazy?
Darn it, I lost the round because of this guy!
Did you just do this
because of that stupid game?
Where are you going? How can you just leave?
Figure it out yourself, you lunatic.
Hey, help me out.
I'll do better from now on.
What can I do for you?
He was the one who started it.
Ah, saying he started the quarrel first.
Damn it.
As of now, your status is changing
from victim to suspect
of special assault and false accusation.
Darn!
Thank you. For not disclosing
my surgery records
and helping…
Don't worry about it. I did what I had to.
Have a good day.
If you want scar care,
come back in about 2 weeks.
Um…
This is nothing much, but
it's a drawing I made.
I dream of being a painter like Lili Elbe.
Out of my sincerity…
Just!
I'm also asking for a revision surgery.
I am not asking for a free service.
Because I think I can trust you as a doctor.
The surgery cost is not insignificant.
Excuse me?
Well, it seems fine.
If you fulfill your dream later,
this painting alone should suffice.
Jeong Woo, the new bar next door…
Oh my! You were in consultation.
Sorry, please continue.
I'll come back later.
Thank you.
Thank you? What's that?
What's with this warm atmosphere?
What now?
Can you handle it?
Handle what?
Reconstructing trauma,
finding the truth of the case,
and even offering thanks out of emotion.
It's nice to see.
If you're jealous, do you want to do it?
- Should I tell our senior about--
- Hey!
I'll just become the god
of those girls pursuing beauty.
Let's go to the newly opened bar next door.
This is a painting I haven't seen before.
It's not you, right?
It doesn't resemble you, man.
Cha Jeong Woo was originally
an emergency medical doctor.
The plastic surgery and emergency
departments are covered in one place.
It's been deployed for victim medical support.
Why did he transfer from emergency
medicine to plastic surgery?
In the emergency room, doctors need
to be armed with a sense of mission.
How tiring must that be?
Plastic surgery, of course,
follows the money, too.
And he doesn't have to get deeply
involved with patients' situations.
It would fit right in with
his personality, wouldn't it?
Someone who doesn't like
to get involved with patients' affairs…
This is a hospital, and I am the doctor.
Will you take responsibility
if something goes wrong with the patient?
If that were the case, would he really
have been a dedicated doctor for the victim?
He's doing this out of necessity
due to Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death.
It doesn't seem like he does
something just because he's told.
It's about restoring his tarnished honor.
There's nothing he wouldn't do.
The thing about Mr. Nam Gi Taek,
did you check on it?
Of course.
In Nam Gi Taek's records
from two days before his death,
there were calls with those hospitals
written on the memo.
And the warrant has been requested.
He probably made an appointment…
[Computer cleaning]
Nothing salvaged from the dash cam?
There is a vehicle owner who said they
would contact us after checking the footage,
but no contact--
No contact?
- I am about to make the call now.
- Now?
Right now.
Yes, this is Lee Min Hyeong
from Seoul Southern Police Station.
Yes, that's correct.
Nam Hyo Ju?
The day he died…
I saw someone passing by.
When I went to investigate,
they said they saw nothing.
I was a bit drunk that day, too.
I only caught a glimpse of the person's back,
but the shoes were a bit strange.
They were black sneakers, but…
It seemed like something
was taped to the bottom.
There were no footprints at the time?
It might have been intentional,
taping the shoes in advance.
Then, my dad…
It wasn't a suicide?
We can't say that yet.
While we look into it more,
let's keep today's discussion
amongst ourselves for now.
At least for the protection of the informant.
I'll investigate and contact you again.
I didn't know.
I asked you to finish
the investigation quickly.
Don't worry about it.
Even though you asked me to wrap it up,
I never considered doing it
or concluded an investigation.
If the man captured on the dash cam
is related to Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death,
why would they deliberately
involve Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
Well, if it's someone with
a grudge, it's not impossible.
Then, isn't Mr. Cha Jeong Woo in danger?
[Face Me]
She was a victim of sulfuric acid attack.
This is a cosmetic surgery clinic.
If you want to provide emotional
care for the patient,
then transfer them to another hospital.
The person who killed my father
is someone with a grudge against you.
Just a little bit.
Just wish for a bit more empathy, nothing more.
Enough worrying about others,
just put the fat back in there.
How on earth did the kid catch this again?
The day Mr. Nam Gi Taek died,
the person who came out of that house.
Is this the person?

[Episode 2]
[Doctor saves patient]
A plastic surgeon in Gangnam, Seoul has
rescued a woman who was his patient
from being kidnapped
and has become a topic of discussion.
The doctor had previously
seen the victim being assaulted by her ex
[Delivering Perfect Details]
in the parking lot of the plastic surgery clinic,
witnessed it on-site, rescued her,
and performed emergency surgery.
This time, as the man forced the discharged
woman into a vehicle and fled,
the doctor immediately followed
and rescued her promptly.
It is known that
the woman's life is not in danger.
Jeong Woo, give me your hand.
Hold on, I am a doctor.
I've found it, the bleeding point.
I will maintain this state
until we reach the operating room.
Doctor.
[Hye Jin]
Oppa.
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier.
What do you mean
by that? What's wrong?
Hye Jin.
Hye Jin.
Please help, my girlfriend is alone at home.
Are you okay? Please say
something.
Are you okay?
Hye Jin.
It's dangerous there.
Is there anything that turned up?
Around the balcony railing and the windows,
there are no fingerprints
or particular signs of outsiders.
And the inside of the house is clean,
with no signs of bloodstains.
Please contact me when the
additional forensic results come out.
Ok.

Can't you just stop and leave?
Excuse me, Officer Kim,
please set up the line and have
people stay behind it.
Yes.
Miss, please leave quickly.
Were the memos on the calendar
written by your father?
Have you heard anything about that hospital?
Do you know when it was written?
It's probably suicide.
Just finish it quickly, please.
Polished shoes.
Dried jacket.
Jeong Woo, where are you?
I'm going out now, why?
Have you not seen the article yet?
The father of a patient
who was refused treatment
at a famous plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam,
committed suicide by
jumping off from his house.
Amidst assumptions of an extreme choice,
a suicide note with criticism
towards the doctor
has reportedly been found.
I told the director not to come
to the hospital for now.
We'll have to watch the situation.
Director Cha has a full surgery schedule today.
What surgeries can be done in this situation?
No matter how much I think about it,
it doesn't seem like it's the director's fault.
The news seems a bit exaggerated.
How did the suicide note get released?
There's nothing journalists
wouldn't find for a clickbait.
What do we do now?
The news is everywhere.
What?
Did you have a fight with the guardian?
Why did you refuse to treat her?
Your name was mentioned in the suicide note,
do you think there's moral responsibility?
- Do you acknowledge the responsibility?
- Please say something.
- Please clarify your position.
- We request a statement.
Why aren't you answering the phone?
Jeong Woo, it's not an issue where legal
responsibility can be attributed to you,
but I don't know how
the bereaved family will react.
Is it good to stir public opinion
about the plastic surgery issue?
It's not a matter of being complacent,
but you still need
to have a response strategy ready.
I know a senior
who's well-versed in medical law…
You didn't button up properly.
Huh?
Hey, Cha Jeong Woo,
now is not the time to worry about this.
It's been a while
since I've seen you like this.
Did you rush out because Woo Jin contacted you?
You should have at least answered the phone.
You said there's no legal issue.
Emotionally.
Are you okay?
As you can see.
With the strong backing of a lawyer,
what's there to worry about?
Let's get going. I have a surgery to perform.
Don't worry too much.
It's not your fault.
Move the end of the chin to the right.
While cleaning up the liposuction
and the deep cheeks,
let's try to slim it down a bit.
See you in the operating room.
[40 years old man commits suicide after
his daughter being denied at the clinic]
We'll move out now.
Excuse me…
Is the doctor mentioned this doctor?
Is it true that it's the director, Dr. Cha?
Let's go out and I'll explain.
- Are you sure this is that doctor?
- You're right.
If you don't trust us,
you can cancel the surgery.
The beauty center
inside the resort aims to provide
the best service to its customers.
But there were issues raised
about Director Cha Jeong Woo's
patient response method.
The plan to invite him
as a partner doctor is temporarily on hold.
[Plastic Surgeon / Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Kim Seok Hoon]
Reporter Kim?
This is Director Kim,
from KSH Cosmetic Surgery.
Have you ever seen someone going in and out
of the next door last night?
I haven't seen anything.
Then what about any strange noises--
Did something come out?
There are no witnesses
and the CCTV at the entrance is empty,
so it's hard to check who came in.
It seems that there is no clear sign
of a crime at the scene.
It's just too clean.
And they say it's not the first time.
What do you mean?
You have a daughter.
What? I don't even have a girlfriend,
what are you talking about?
But that daughter is sick.
You really want to give her surgery.
So you keep looking for hospitals, and when
you go, they say they can't do the surgery.
So you look up another
hospital from home again.
But then, why…
Why did he commit suicide
after looking up all these hospitals?
That's right.
We need to check the reservation
details with the hospitals.
They said they couldn't give out patient
information over the phone.
You should go check it out in person.
Check the date of the inquiry call.
Cross-check Mr. Nam Gi Taek's
mobile phone call history.
Yes.
But that Doctor Cha Jeong Woo, really…
He went between heaven and hell overnight.
From a righteous doctor who saved a patient,
to a doctor mentioned in a dead person's note.
It's really hard to understand humans.
You seem very poised.
Collect all the vehicles black-box recordings.
- Alone?
- Yes.
You speak quite comfortably.
You want me to cooperate?
Jeong Woo, the patient you refused
because the surgery was not profitable.
The materialistic doctor
who caused that father's death.
We have to shake off that disgrace quickly.
You'll live, I'll live, and so
will the Bintan Project, right?
Provisional hold means
provisional hold, doesn't it?
So, what kind of cooperation
are you asking for?
You'll just stand quietly next to me,
as I'll take care of everything.
So, tell me, what exactly do you plan to do?
Uh, hello?
Director Han?
Hello? Hello?
Anyway, I've told you,
understand?
Hey, are you there?
Don't say anything else!
Why isn't he answering the phone?
Hi!
You must have some good news.
It seems like some good news has just come up.
Excuse me.
I'd like to ask for a drink
that suits this lady.
You are stunning.
If only your double eyelids were symmetrical.
Pardon?
I don't say this to just anyone.
Oh my, Director at KSH?
What about my double eyelids?
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
The direct cause of death
is multiple bone fractures
leading to major organ damage.
Intoxication and antidepressant
consumption at the time of death.
There's nothing else, is there?
I still have some questions…
It was lung cancer.
I found it while organizing the personal items.
[Patient diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer]
He tried to get surgery for his girl before dying.
He jumped out of anger
because they had a dispute.
Close the internal investigation
as a natural death case.
W-Wait a moment.
Ms. Hyo Ju.
He must have wanted the surgery
done by any means necessary.
Because that would lessen the guilt.
My face.
It's because of my dad.
It was a hard time because
of my mom who left home.
It was a mistake made while drunk.
He even apologized profusely to me.
What good does an apology do?
My life is already ruined like this.
What happened to my face to make him do that?
What kind of surgery was he denied
that led him to suicide?
Now it seems like all my personal
information is going to be revealed.
Please…
Just stop it, please.
Because I don't want a criminal
as my dad to hold back my life.
Because you want to forget quickly,
you just want the investigation
or whatever to end quickly.
I know you want that.
But I'll pretend not to know that for a while.
Until all my doubts are cleared.
- Just let go!
- Stay still.
I'm not like that, I'm not!
You rat, stay still! Request support
from the narcotics team.
Because I don't want a criminal
as my dad to hold back my life.
- I'm not like that!
- Be quiet.
- What are you looking at?
- Be quiet.
Come here quickly.
Ah, really, what's the big deal?
What are you doing? Look at this.
What kind of cooperation are you asking for?
Jeong Woo, hurry.
- What are you doing?
- Oh, come on…
Let's maintain this position.
What is it now?
Doctor first.
Our hospital also feels morally
responsible for his death,
and we intend to take this
as an opportunity for reflection.
Recently, our director,
Cha Jeong Woo, dealt with a crime
by performing plastic surgery on a victim,
personally demonstrating the public value
and significance of plastic surgery.
And we plan to continuously
make the social contribution.
Is Director Cha Jeong Woo personally
conducting plastic surgery on crime victims?
- Ah--
- Yes, of course.
Providing medical support to victims for free,
that is our plan. For free.
In cooperation with the police, Jurisdiction,
everything has been settled
with the police station.
[Death Certificate / Autopsy Report]
Yes, this is the violent crimes division.
A PC café?
Yes, I'm about to leave, so please send me
the report details and the location right away.
Yes.
I have to go to the scene.
What's the case about?
It's a case suspected to be a sexual
offense at a nearby PC café.
- I'll get the car, contact the forensic first.
- Yes.
If you need a consultation with that plastic
surgery clinic, contact them, okay?
We have a partnership with a hospital
for medical support for victims!
Well, since we decided to do it,
let's think of it as donating our talents.
Only up to three cases.
Case number one is completed,
and just two more cases.
Don't say anything else.
Three should be enough.
It doesn't make sense
financially, and I don't like it either.
Interviews are absolutely out of the question.
You're being quite the star.
Take your hand out of the pocket.
Huh? What?
I said take your hand out…
Hurry.

Please take good care of us.
Look here. We'll take a commemorative photo.
This isn't an interview.
You have to go to Bintan.
Smile.
Let's smile.
Okay, I'll take the picture now.
One, two, three.
The victim is a man in his 20s, they reported
an attempted sexual assault in the bathroom.
Is it true that the perpetrator was wounded
by a knife wielded by the victim?
Is he the victim? Is he badly injured?
The injuries to the face are severe.
- First, he needs to go to the hospital.
- Yes.
I'll contact you from the hospital.
Can't we go to a plastic surgery clinic?
- First, go to the nearby emergency room--
- But it's the face.
It's not just anything, it's the face…
[Women's Restroom Under Repair - Do Not Use]
[Women's Restroom Under Repair - Do Not Use]
It's okay. Don't worry.
Nothing will happen, it's alright.
- Are there any injuries?
- No.
She is a bit traumatized,
so she said she will come out later.
I am Detective Lee Min Hyeong from
the Southern Station violent crimes division.
First, we need to move you to a different spot
for you to give your statement…
That rat touched my girlfriend.
He is the one who reported it.
He said his girlfriend was sexually harassed.
He's a complete sicko.
It was that part-timer.
He was weird from the start.
Pretending to clean, he kept
stealing glances at Soo Bin's legs.
I just thought it was nothing and ignored it.
You, there.
You can clean up a bit later, can't you?
If you leave it, it gets sticky.
Just don't.
I'm sorry.
- I need to use the bathroom.
- Ok.
[Women's restroom under repair - Do not use]
I felt something was off, so I followed her.
Luckily, she had a self-defense
jackknife or something.
If she didn't have that, really…
Do you always carry a knife with you?
Yes, for self-defense.
Anyway, you should go to the hospital
for a check-up and to secure evidence.
Are you okay to move?
The symmetry is good,
and the function is perfect.
Good.
You seem to have some good news.
I just got some.
So, when is the surgery?
The manager will sort that out.
- I'll see you that day.
- Yes, take care.
Director Han, you've worked hard.
Hard work? Well, everyone works hard.
Is Director Cha doing okay?
Are there still surgery cancellations?
Luckily, there are no additional
cancellations, but…
The Bintan partner doctor position
is on temporary hold.
What does that mean?
Haven't you seen the article yet?
Article? What article?
Director Cha is inside now, right?
Hey, Cha Jeong Woo, you…
Is this for real?
The article came out.
Is this someone else's business?
This is about you.
It's the chief director's issue.
So, are you going to do as you're told?
Cha Jeong Woo, you?
A victim of a crime, a traumatized patient?
They say to cover it up, what can I do?
Cha Jeong Woo, what about the crime victim?
They absolutely need that
consolation and empathy.
But you, having discarded all
such emotions and come here,
treating them is like setting a time bomb.
What's the difference from lighting the fuse?
Apart from empathy and consolation,
I said I would do the surgery.
It's going to explode soon. It'll explode.
Pardon?
Come on up, a patient has arrived.
What patient?
[Laceration]
A 12CM laceration from the cheekbone to the chin.
[Artery, Nerve]
Judging by the controlled bleeding,
[Artery, Nerve]
the artery and nerve seem to be fine.
It's said he followed a woman to the bathroom.
It's unclear whether this is
the perpetrator or the victim.
Let's start with the treatment, anyway.
And then we consider
the second case is completed?
Yes.
If it's a simple suture,
wouldn't that be a non-issue?
Are you saying you're
going to select patients now?
No, it's not necessarily that, but,
if possible, something
that could make an issue.
Do we have to wait longer?
We need to stitch it up quickly
and start the investigation.
Yes.
Mr. Yoon Min Soo,
please sit down, let me take a look.
Aren't you going to receive treatment?
Will there be scars?
There can't be none.
This is not it.
Doctor, this can't be real, can it?
Mr. Yoon Min Soo, please calm down.
Please, fix my face.
I really didn't do anything.
Calm down and let's start
with the medical treatment.
Yes? If you get treated,
something can surely be done.
[Emergency Medical Center]
Shall we get off?
Well… not really.
I'm not hurt.
Do I really have to go?
There's a Sunflower Center
next to the emergency center.
It's a place with only female
doctors, so you can feel safe.
For the treatment of sexual assault victims,
or for the collection of evidence.
It's not like I was sexually assaulted,
I just don't want to be
misunderstood for no reason.
It's okay to talk about it here, right?
Yes.
I'm going to start recording.
Inside the PC, your boyfriend,
Mr. Park Dong Gun,
had a fight with the suspect, and
after that, he said you went to the restroom.
Yes.
When I came out of the restroom,
right in front of the door…
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?
Move aside!
I said move!
Move aside!
I was so shocked that, at the moment, I
swung the knife at Soo Bin without knowing.
And then, did your boyfriend,
Park Dong Gun, come in?
Yes.
This is self-defense, right?
It seems so, given the circumstances.
But, for now, let's move to the center
to collect evidence.
What evidence?
I didn't really have
any direct physical contact.
Besides physical contact,
traces on the victim's clothes or
belongings can also be taken as evidence.
The starting point is quite deep.
If you feel any discomfort, let me know.
I don't have any.
If we need any additional
statements, I'll contact you.
Yes.
- Are you done? Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Gosh…
Can I go now?
Just a moment.
- Are you done? Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Gosh…
Can I go now?
Just a moment.
Ah, it looks like it splashed
from the restroom floor.
It seems like it could be useful evidence
for reconstructing the scene.
Would you mind taking them off?
How am I supposed to go without my shoes?
Yes, this is Officer Lee Min Hyeong.
You have spare shoes at the center, right?
Yes?
I'll take the statement from the accused.
You go to the PC room and investigate the area.
Where is the hospital? Give me the location.
What?
Doctor Cha Jeong Woo?
Min Soo is so taciturn.
He is always just drawing,
and he's a bit peculiar.
But, I'm not sure if this is related…
For now, please tell me.
Recently, a female customer in the restroom
complained about someone lurking around,
so I checked the CCTV.
Is that so?
But it's not like he entered
a place with people around,
nor did he install something like a camera,
so, we just let it slide.
Cut.
The suturing is all done.
Please give me a mirror.
- Mr. Yoon Min Soo's treatment--
- Please wait outside.
What? The suturing is all done--
This is a hospital, and I am the doctor.
Will you take responsibility if
something goes wrong with the patient?
I can't give you much time.
When was the surgery done?
Just a moment.
What happened?
Move to the operating room
as soon as the ultrasound is done.
Yes.
You said the operating room?
Mr. Yoon Min Soo will be
going into surgery immediately.
What? What kind of surgery?
Starting the removal surgery
of patient Yoon Min Soo's breast implants.
Bovie.
After being diagnosed with gender
dysphoria, received hormone therapy
and had breast surgery 3 weeks ago.
The surgical site is severely inflamed.
There's a risk of
sepsis,
and the patient has agreed
to have the implants removed.
A patient in a critical state
due to surgical complications
has attempted sexual assault?
And that too, a patient with gender dysphoria?
Yoon Min Soo
was previously seen lurking around
the women's restroom,
and they got complaints.
Yoon Min Soo, whose gender identity is female,
needed the women's restroom,
and was worried about being
misunderstood due to the appearance,
So, she was checking to see
if there was anyone around.
It wouldn't be easy to speak about that fact.
This is self-defense, right?
What evidence?
I didn't have any direct physical contact.
Then, it means
we need something else.
- Is the surgery over?
- Yes.
- Yoon Min Soo's surgery record--
- You can't get it.
The patient won't consent to it either.
If consent were given
to disclose all medical records,
you'd have already talked to the police, right?
It's possible that he may
not be the perpetrator,
since only circumstantial
evidence is barely convincing.
Just because someone is a transgender
person doesn't make it the basis.
This means that we should
look for another angle now.
It's difficult to clear Yoon Min Soo
of the assault charges
merely with the surgery records.
We need to look for another method.
In other words,
even the doctor in charge of the victim
might think that Mr. Yoon Min Soo
may not be the assailant.
Is my opinion important?
Suspicion needs to accumulate momentum.
Thank you for your efforts.
May I ask just one thing?
Why do this? The victim medical support.
As someone who doesn't like
to interfere with patient affairs.
Why particularly treat a crime victim's case?
You don't seem the type to be told to do it.
Maybe sincerity?
Just do the investigation.
This isn't real, isn't it?
Please fix my face, I beg you, do something.
I really didn't do anything.
[Yoon Min Soo]
Why do this? Victim medical support.
I confirmed through the CCTV
that he was lurking around the locker room.
But at that time, as there wasn't
any criminal activity, I just let it go.
But now they say a harassment case
has occurred in the same place.
Isn't he a repeated offender? Despicable guy.
This scum needs chemical castration
or just needs to be castrated.
What about the victim's condition
related to the crime?
Still hospitalized.
Why still in the hospital?
The sutured area is quite large,
it needs treatment for inflammation.
Is it something to brag about,
that the victim went to plastic surgery?
Bring the victim here, immediately.
There's something I need to check before that.
What is it?
I'll report back after checking.
Then I'll also…
Ah, hey!
You go and bring the suspect.
What's the big deal
about a few stitches on the face?
Are you hiding her at the hospital?
Go!
The reconstructive surgery went well.
Everyone must be talking about me.
If it becomes known that I had surgery…
I don't disclose surgical records
without my patient's consent.
He lied that his girlfriend
did it in self-defense.
They'll probably blame me even more.
Saying that kind of guy deserves it
for having gender reassignment surgery.
Self-defense?
Because it's the only way
they can get away with it.
Director, the police is asking
if patient Yoon Min Soo can be discharged.
Saying that she has to go for an inquiry.
Yes, everything's done here.
What's the matter?
[Blood Pattern Analysis Lab]
I am Detective Seo Gang Ho from
the Southern Precinct's violent crimes team.
What brings you here?
I have something to discuss with you.
What about Mr. Park Dong Gun?
Is he inside?
He had something to do, so he stepped out.
Do you want to come in?
Please.
He said he might not be able to come today,
since he went to the countryside.
Stop!
Try to get away, you rat.
Hey, are you okay?
What is it?
How did you know about this place?
Hey, Mr. Park Dong Gun.
Let's go together.
Let's just go together.
Darn!
- Hi!
- You startled me.
Oh, you came?
Yes.
Ugh!
Ah, let's go together.
Let's go.
Huh? Let's go.
Let's go quietly.
Ah!
Now, Mr. Park Dong Gun, you are
under arrest for assault
and false accusation against Yoon Min Soo,
as well as obstruction of justice.
Hey, are you all right?
Seems like I've sprained my ankle,
but it will get better.
But, what happened?
Why are you here, of all places?
Because of Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
What's the matter?
How tall is the woman who cut her face?
Excuse me?
Why do you ask?
The depth of the wound at the
starting point, the cheekbone area,
is more than twice as deep as the end.
The direction of the wound
is also from top to bottom.
If the shoulder height of the person
wielding the weapon had been lower,
the direction of the wound
would have gone from bottom to top,
and at the starting point
of the wound, the cheekbone,
it wouldn't have been possible
to apply enough force to scratch the bone.
[Yoon Min Soo's wounds]
So, the perpetrator must be taller.
Why did you miss it?
Yoon Min Soo went straight to the hospital,
so there was no time to examine the wound.
It was also covered with a dressing.
Did Dr. Cha Jeong Woo tell you this
when they took Yoon Min Soo away?
Yes, very unexpectedly.
It is like a subtle consideration out of
concern for secondary harm to the victim?
- What are you talking about?
- There is such a thing.
By the way, why did you go to Park Dong Gun?
Solid evidence came out.
What is it?
Upon hearing Ms. Lee Soo Bin's scream
and rushing to the bathroom,
Yoon Min Soo was already covered in blood.
That's what you stated?
Yes. Why do you ask?
But your sneakers show that
it was not the case.
You see the tail-like pattern
at the end of the elliptical bloodstain?
This is called a cast-off bloodstain.
When a moving object stops,
blood drips off, leaving this kind of pattern.
Typically, when the weapon is swung
quickly and then stopped,
the blood on the weapon flies off
and creates such stains…
The pattern of the splashed blood is here,
on your sneakers.
Which means it was you, Mr. Park Dong Gun,
at the scene at the time of the attack!
Darn it.
You, there.
You can clean up a bit later, can't you?
You can't bring alcohol in here.
Just stop it, will you?
I'm sorry.
I need to use the restroom.
[Women's Restroom Under Repair - Do Not Use]
Hey, I said I'll clean it up later.
Are you crazy?
Darn it, I lost the round because of this guy!
Did you just do this
because of that stupid game?
Where are you going? How can you just leave?
Figure it out yourself, you lunatic.
Hey, help me out.
I'll do better from now on.
What can I do for you?
He was the one who started it.
Ah, saying he started the quarrel first.
Damn it.
As of now, your status is changing
from victim to suspect
of special assault and false accusation.
Darn!
Thank you. For not disclosing
my surgery records
and helping…
Don't worry about it. I did what I had to.
Have a good day.
If you want scar care,
come back in about 2 weeks.
Um…
This is nothing much, but
it's a drawing I made.
I dream of being a painter like Lili Elbe.
Out of my sincerity…
Just!
I'm also asking for a revision surgery.
I am not asking for a free service.
Because I think I can trust you as a doctor.
The surgery cost is not insignificant.
Excuse me?
Well, it seems fine.
If you fulfill your dream later,
this painting alone should suffice.
Jeong Woo, the new bar next door…
Oh my! You were in consultation.
Sorry, please continue.
I'll come back later.
Thank you.
Thank you? What's that?
What's with this warm atmosphere?
What now?
Can you handle it?
Handle what?
Reconstructing trauma,
finding the truth of the case,
and even offering thanks out of emotion.
It's nice to see.
If you're jealous, do you want to do it?
- Should I tell our senior about--
- Hey!
I'll just become the god
of those girls pursuing beauty.
Let's go to the newly opened bar next door.
This is a painting I haven't seen before.
It's not you, right?
It doesn't resemble you, man.
Cha Jeong Woo was originally
an emergency medical doctor.
The plastic surgery and emergency
departments are covered in one place.
It's been deployed for victim medical support.
Why did he transfer from emergency
medicine to plastic surgery?
In the emergency room, doctors need
to be armed with a sense of mission.
How tiring must that be?
Plastic surgery, of course,
follows the money, too.
And he doesn't have to get deeply
involved with patients' situations.
It would fit right in with
his personality, wouldn't it?
Someone who doesn't like
to get involved with patients' affairs…
This is a hospital, and I am the doctor.
Will you take responsibility
if something goes wrong with the patient?
If that were the case, would he really
have been a dedicated doctor for the victim?
He's doing this out of necessity
due to Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death.
It doesn't seem like he does
something just because he's told.
It's about restoring his tarnished honor.
There's nothing he wouldn't do.
The thing about Mr. Nam Gi Taek,
did you check on it?
Of course.
In Nam Gi Taek's records
from two days before his death,
there were calls with those hospitals
written on the memo.
And the warrant has been requested.
He probably made an appointment…
[Computer cleaning]
Nothing salvaged from the dash cam?
There is a vehicle owner who said they
would contact us after checking the footage,
but no contact--
No contact?
- I am about to make the call now.
- Now?
Right now.
Yes, this is Lee Min Hyeong
from Seoul Southern Police Station.
Yes, that's correct.
Nam Hyo Ju?
The day he died…
I saw someone passing by.
When I went to investigate,
they said they saw nothing.
I was a bit drunk that day, too.
I only caught a glimpse of the person's back,
but the shoes were a bit strange.
They were black sneakers, but…
It seemed like something
was taped to the bottom.
There were no footprints at the time?
It might have been intentional,
taping the shoes in advance.
Then, my dad…
It wasn't a suicide?
We can't say that yet.
While we look into it more,
let's keep today's discussion
amongst ourselves for now.
At least for the protection of the informant.
I'll investigate and contact you again.
I didn't know.
I asked you to finish
the investigation quickly.
Don't worry about it.
Even though you asked me to wrap it up,
I never considered doing it
or concluded an investigation.
If the man captured on the dash cam
is related to Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death,
why would they deliberately
involve Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
Well, if it's someone with
a grudge, it's not impossible.
Then, isn't Mr. Cha Jeong Woo in danger?
[Face Me]
She was a victim of sulfuric acid attack.
This is a cosmetic surgery clinic.
If you want to provide emotional
care for the patient,
then transfer them to another hospital.
The person who killed my father
is someone with a grudge against you.
Just a little bit.
Just wish for a bit more empathy, nothing more.
Enough worrying about others,
just put the fat back in there.
How on earth did the kid catch this again?
The day Mr. Nam Gi Taek died,
the person who came out of that house.
Is this the person?
