While You Were Sleeping

Episode 11

Yes, please speak.

Is this Lawyer Lee Yoo Beom? The one who got Kang Dae Hee ruled not guilty?

Yes it is, but who is this?

Are you recording this conversation?

No, why do you ask that?

You don't need to know. I have something to discuss with you urgently.

Where are you?

Then just set an appointment tomorrow and come.

Tomorrow will be too late. You should make some time now.

Look here! Who are you to—

This is author Moon Tae Min.

I have four of your novels.

If I knew I was going to see you, I would've brought them to get them autographed.

Should we get straight to the point?

In the new novel I'm planning, I need a lawyer's reference.

Wow, it's an honor. Is the lawyer the main character?

No, the murderer is.

The murderer. What is the murderer's occupation?

A writer and professor.

A writer and professor, you say.

Just like you, Author Moon?

Why are you being specific?

I'm sorry.

Well, let's see what setting this is. Please tell me carefully.

Well, the story begins with that author at the publication party.

Youth, The Spring We Support.

Your essay's topic this time is different from before in that it's about youth.

I'm curious if there was a special reason for that.

While working on creating a new work and teaching at the same time,

I kept noticing the students who were studying hard.

So that's why I've decided to donate all the profits from this work to scholarships.

Yes, thank you.

It seems your student has a surprise gift for you.

Hello.

Today, I stand here to talk about our department's leading professor and today's honored guest,

Professor Moon Tae Min's real self.

This picture was also used on the cover of our school newsletter.

He said he wanted to take jumpshots with us until our knees gave out.

The same afternoon, we...

had to move his things in until our knees gave out.

Not only that, but we had to act as his son's chauffeur to take him to school, valets for his daughter's wedding,

- For the reason of reviewing our thesis... - What are you doing?

I'm here to speak up about his brutality!

I want to say...

- Move. - Don't take pictures.

I gave him some constructive criticism about his thesis paper,

and he must've been very upset.

Are you drunk? Just because you're drunk you think you can do these kinds of things?

No, I'm more sober than ever.

I guess you really don't want to advance your career. You're really planning to leave this field.

Yes, I don't need to advance.

All I learned from you is how to polish your shoes and wash your car! What's the use of making my debut in the literary world?

- I came here as your teaching assistant, not your servant. - You little!

I'm recording everything right now, so why don't you go ahead and say the things you usually say.

You little bastard.

What is this noise?!

So in anger, he choked that TA,

and because of his reaction, he fell into the elevator tunnel?

Were there any witnesses?

Well, it seemed there was no one around, but there's one thing that bothers me.

A kid's hat was dropped on the floor but I don't know if it was always there

or if someone dropped it. I'm not sure.

What about that TA's condition?

He hurt his head so he is unconscious.

Currently, he's barely breathing in the ICU,

but not really alive. That's the scenario.

Are you saying he's brain dead?

Let's get the terminology straight first.

The main character in your novel isn't a murderer.

The law doesn't count being brain dead as death, only if your heart stops.

Is that so?

To be specific, it would be counted as involuntary manslaughter.

That's not really fitting either... since it could be ruled not guilty.

- Not guilty? - Yes.

From now, depending on how the lawyer and the main character

plan the strategy, it could be ruled not guilty.

Not guilty? That's good.

I see I came to the right person.

Get some coffee ready. Maybe my tension was relieved but

I'm craving caffeine all of a sudden.

All the employees have left work now. Let's grab coffee later.

If we want to come up with a plan, we need to stimulate this area.

Why is the service here so bad?

How can I give you better service than this?

- What? What did you just— - Objectively,

you're asking me to make you not guilty after killing a poor student whom you took advantage of.

After asking me to do this hard job, as a criminal, you even expect coffee service?

Hey, Lawyer Lee!

Your life is in my hands.

I am the price and your creditor. To be exact,

nice words should be returned with nice words, and

a criminal should act humbly like a criminal.

Repeat after me. "Please help me, Lawyer Lee."

Please help me, Lawyer Lee.

That's right. You're good. This way I'll be motivated to plan a strategy,

Author Moon.

I found out Author Moon Tae Min is a really scary person.

One of his TA's caused a scene at his publishing party to report his atrocities.

I could just tell what the story was.

He was using his status as a professor to boss his students around since he has power over their grades.

Ah, I was Professor Moon Tae Min's fan. I'm so disappointed.

Okay, sounds good. So you got an interview with the TA, right?

I was going to, but he got into an accident.

What kind of accident?

He got drunk, fell into an elevator shaft, and lost consciousness.

Gosh, alcohol.

Maknae! Come here.

I'm hungry, so go to the convenience store, and buy some snacks and food you want.

Mine, mine, too. Get me a hot fishcake bar.

Anyhow, our country needs to start with pulling the roots of this power trip culture.

Using age as a way to treat others like servants.

You're saying this to me right now, right?

No, I was talking about Writer Moon. Why, Sunbae?

Do you feel guilty? Did you just feel stabbed?

No, why would I?

Why are you holding my credit card? Let's have our meeting.

Oh, there we go.

Seogu University Hospital.

Did you finish preparing your discharge?

Yeah, it's almost done.

You guys came together.

- You received the ring, right? - Yes.

Yeah, I met him out front.

- What is this? You guys decided to talk comfortably (informally)? - Ah, well...

- Then are we talking comfortably too? - No.

What kind of standard is that?

Like this, it's loosened. It's loosened like this too but it's not loosened like this?

Stop being loud. You brought my ID, right?

Here, here, here.

See, see, see. I am a Prosecutor, right?

Yeah, you're right.

What is this? That's all? You have nothing more to say?

Like I'm sorry for the mistake, I'm sorry for not knowing. Like that kind of stuff?

Why are you like this? It's so childish.

Yeah, I'm starting to get embarrassed too.

I'm sorry I didn't know.

But in the future, as a Republic of Korea prosecutor, whether it's confusing the criminal law or

whining that you are a prosecutor without a proper identification, I hope that won't happen again.

Whining? What do you mean whining? Hey!

Just stay still. Listening to this, he's saying all the right things.

Oh, so it's you, you. He's just like you when you were younger with the rude manners and ugliness.

What nonsense are you spewing?

Little kid!

Little kid! Little kid?!

Doctor, a child fainted! Doctor!

What happened?

Is the child okay?

Yes, we're doing an emergency dialysis so it'll be okay.

A dialysis?

He is a chronic renal failure patient.

He's been getting dialysis for 5 years now, but it seems like a lot of toxins have built up. And his body is pretty bloated too.

Five years? A little kid like that?

We have no other blood vessels to use and a transplant is the only other option.

But there are no donors. It's quite frustrating.

I should have held him back from drinking.

I'm sorry.

He's usually calm when he drinks.

I didn't think he would cause an accident.

No.

Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule, Professor.

What are you saying? I should come.

He's my most cherished student.

Oh, Doctor. Hwan's surgery went well, right?

The damage to his brain was already too great by the time he arrived at the hospital.

Breathing on his own was impossible.

I think you should prepare your mind.

Oh, oh, Father!

Chan Ho, Mommy is here.

Chan Ho.

#11 Die Or Be Bad

Thank you for the ride.

Where are you going to take care of yourself? Are you going to just do it at home or

at Hong Joo's place like I did?

Of course, he has to be in his house.

Why leave a perfectly normal house and be indebted to another house?

And you're recovered now. Your condition is super, right?

No, I'm not super

because I'm not fully healed here.

Then stay at my house for a couple days like Woo Tak did.

I'll nurse you.

That's too rude.

- Woo Tak deserved to be nursed by you but you? - What about me?

Did you get hurt saving Hong Joo like Woo Tak did?

- It's not that but— - Do you live by yourself like Woo Tak?

No, I live with you but because you're so useless, I—

I'll do well so I'll be useful. Just trust me.

Thank you, everyone, for today.

Let's go and not be a nuisance to others, Hyung.

But Seung Won...

Come stay at my house.

It'll be better to have someone with the know-how like me than someone without it like you.

You can come to my house, right?

Well, should I then?

Hyung. Hyung. Hyung!

No, Hyung.

Why is he acting so senseless?

- Why are you clueless like that? - What about me?

They're two friends who met again after 13 years.

Leave them alone, so they can catch up.

Thank you.

You suffered a lot.

I'll take care of Prosecutor Jeong so just go clean your room.

But he has to take his medicine and—

I'll make sure he takes it.

Just hurry and go clean your room. Prosecutor Jeong is going to faint after he sees how messy it is.

But there's nothing to clean.

The abalone porridge is really good.

How long do you think you need to stay here for us to take care of you?

Wouldn't 2 days be good enough?

Uh, yes. It is good enough.

It's not here.

I definitely put it somewhere here.

If Jeong Jae Chan finds out I lost the ring, he'll be really disappointed.

Can I come in?

Yeah, yeah come in.

Wow, exceeded my expectations. It's a mess.

No, no. It's not usually like this but I had to look for something.

What?

Something.

Sit over here. Let me take your temperature.

Okay.

But Hong Joo, don't you like the ring I gave you?

No, I really like it.

Then, why aren't you wearing it?

I have to watch out at work and at home, I have to watch out for my mom.

I'll wear it when it's just the two of us.

You have to.

Okay.

Your fever is almost down.

I'll do the dressing tomorrow morning.

You're almost a nurse.

Since I was able to practice when Woo Tak was here.

You checked Woo Tak's temperature and did his dressing?

Yes.

Why, why, why? Does it bother you?

Are you jealous? Envy?

No, not at all. Not even a little.

Not at all is a little...

Hong Joo, what are you doing?

Come out soon, so Prosecutor Jeong can get some rest!

Okay.

Bye and let me know if you need anything.

Okay, thank you.

Why isn't the fever going down?

Maybe it's cause I'm excited because of you.

Let me see. This is where you got stabbed, right?

Stop it, it tickles.

You're going to get in trouble.

Stop making a scene.

Ugh, seriously. I shouldn't have come.

Aigoo. I shouldn't have come.

Mom, did you happen to see my ring? The ring that Jae Chan gave me?

No, I didn't. Did you lose it?

I'm sure I put it on the vanity table but I can't find it.

Why do you put it on so carefully? You're going to sleep anyway.

Just take it easy and go to sleep.

No, I can't. My skin is sensitive these days. What if I break out?

Especially with Jae Chan here.

You said you met Prosecutor Jeong 13 years ago.

Do you feel as if your affection deepened after knowing that?

Why? Do you hope that will get even deeper?

No, I hope it doesn't.

Well, it could deepen. You don't know what could happen and as time passes—

Well, I don't like it.

Even if time passes, I hope it doesn't get deeper with Prosecutor Jeong.

Hi.

I checked on what you said, sir.

Your son is registered as an organ donor.

I told you. I knew it.

You have a wonderful son.

Did you hear that?

The doctor is complimenting you.

Please tell me when you decide on a date.

Let's do it the day after tomorrow.

That day is his...

birthday.

Okay.

An organ donor?

It's not confirmed, but we have a patient whose brain is irreversibly damaged.

We'll do an antibody test and if they're a match, I think Chan Ho can receive an organ transfer.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

What are you saying?

You're going to let my... my son's killer go free?

You said you'd get him.

You can't get him because you didn't do an autopsy?

What's wrong with the law? The law?

Jeong Jae Chan

What do we do, Robin?

How can we overcome this?

To catch one person, seven people...

Kill seven people?

Is this the type of justice you were thinking of?

Is this the type of justice you were thinking of?

Jeong Jae Chan

What do I tell him?

You'd sink the ground if you had to recycle your trash.

Did something happen?

I dreamt a bad dream.

I was debating on how to tell this.

Huh? Same here.

By any chance, was it a dream about Jae Chan?

Yes. Yours too?

Yeah. In your dream, does Jae Chan also quit being a prosecutor?

Huh? Yours too?

Yes.

Cold...

What is it? What are they doing not coming in?

We have to tell him since it's about him.

What if we tell him? What changes?

Even if we know ahead of time, there's nothing to change.

But at least, he could escape.

If he escapes, another person takes the blame.

- If it was you, are you able to run away? Is that possible for you? - No.

Jae Chan is like you.

He's not the type to run away after knowing.

So, don't ever tell him,

or I'm going to make him run away.

How?

The bus arrived.

You're not getting on?

No, I'm not going to work today.

I'm going to skip today.

Why?

Because the weather is disgustingly nice today.

There's no fine dust in the air and it's also your day off.

It's too precious to work today.

So, where is it you want to go?

Sunbae, I'm sorry.

The weather is so nice that I pushed up my vacation.

The weather is so nice that she went crazy.

What's wrong with you, Nam Hong Joo?

Did you stay up all night again?

Yes.

Isn't all of our department now staying up all night?

Since we're doing it for someone else?

Hey, do you think Prosecutor Jeong is resting because he wants to?

He must know how much we're suffering because of him.

If he knows, at least come faster.

Even if he rests, imagine how uneasy he must feel.

Oh, that newbie.

Hey!

Come here. Let's take a picture!

What are we going to do? It's so cute!

Awe, my baby, you came out so cute.

What do I do? You're so cute.

So cute I could die. Cute!

My puppy. So cute.

- You're so cute! - Should I take a few more?

They're making such a scene, right?

I got a bouquet for you!

What? I'm so touched! Oh my gosh!

I'm so touched!

Noona, where did you go? Come in here.

♫ I was so embarrassed ♫

Here.

♫ Your eyes, the way you talk, your voice ♫

The beer you like, they make it with this.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

♫ The happiest person in the world ♫

♫ The happiest person in the world ♫

♫ Is me next to you ♫

♫ It seems a new world has been opened before me ♫

♫ Brings me to a whole new world ♫

Should we go to the beach tomorrow?

It's been a long time since I've seen the beach.

Tomorrow's the day I go back to work, though.

You could just skip like I did today.

Does something happen to me tomorrow?

What?

What does that mean?

I heard you talking to Woo Tak this morning.

You said you saw something in your dream.

Tell me. What kind of dream is it that you're telling me to run away?

You have to make a choice. A really hard choice.

If it's according to my dream, as soon as you return to work, you will go for an inspection.

A brain-dead patient who injured his head through an accident.

But while you are doing your investigation, you find out that he wasn't killed from an accident.

If it's not an accident, then you're saying someone intentionally hurt the person?

Yes.

As a result, you decide to go for an autopsy. And eventually, you catch the criminal.

- Then, what's the issue? - That brain-dead patient was someone who signed up for organ donation.

Because you decided to perform that autopsy, they weren't able to perform the organ donation.

So, seven of the awaiting organ recipients...

They die?

Yes.

And because of that shock, you quit your job as a prosecutor.

What if I don't perform that autopsy?

I can just catch the criminal without doing the autopsy.

Woo Tak had a dream where you weren't able to bring yourself to do the autopsy.

He said you made the decision not to do the autopsy and save the seven people, but...

The criminal was freely released at the trial

for the reason that the cause of death couldn't be confirmed since an autopsy wasn't performed.

The victim's father deeply resents you. And while you start blaming yourself...

I quit being a prosecutor.

Yes.

And the brain-dead patient, we don't know who he is?

I didn't see that far.

If I perform the autopsy, seven people die.

And if I don't perform the autopsy, while I save seven people, I lose the criminal.

So whether I perform the autopsy or not, I will take off my prosecutor gown.

So, that's why you told me to run away, because I'll regret it no matter what decision I make.

Geez, so pathetic.

I know. It's quite unfortunate.

Let's go to the beach tomorrow.

- Really? - Yeah.

I want to run away.

Yeah, okay.

I know it's cowardly but I still want to run away.

Even if I wake up after dying, I don't want to quit being a prosecutor.

You must not want to. Of course!

But if he runs away, another person takes the blame.

If it were you, would you be able to run away? Is that possible?

Yes, it is possible. Of course, it is.

Jae Chan is like you. If he knows, he won't run away.

No, I am a person to run away.

I won't care if another person is blamed.

I'm a total different species from Woo Tak. My conscience level is very low.

That's good.

People, you see, need to understand the situation well.

Ahjussi, can you take a picture for us?

I don't want to! When did we see each other that you ask us for a picture?

You see, you see. From now on, I'll going to live recklessly.

So annoying, that little one.

Baby, let's go. I will buy you meat. Don't get hurt!

Yes, Noona.

Your brother seems like a good prosecutor.

What are you saying so suddenly?

Your brother released Do Hak Yeong because he found he didn't do anything wrong.

Hey, that's just a definite thing to do.

A teacher is someone who teaches students. A president is someone who protects the country.

And a prosecutor is someone who arrests a person in if he's guilty. If not, he lets them go.

Just because they did something fair doesn't make them a good prosecutor.

But it's hard to do something that is fair.

Seeing how my father ended up.

My dad was a doctor who saved lives.

But because he met the wrong prosecutor, he became a murderer.

Who is that prosecutor?

There is one.

A prosecutor who thinks lightly of investigation and fabricates evidence.

And a prosecutor who makes someone's mistakes disappear.

Author Moon, what fortune you have!

I dug around at the hospital and that Lee Hwan guy is supposed to donate his organs soon.

If he donates his organs, there won't be an autopsy, right?

If they can't do an autopsy then that's the end of the game, of course. We can just wrap it up as an accident.

Even if this goes to trial, you won't need to worry.

The cause of death is not clear so getting a verdict of not guilty is very easy.

I'll put my trust in you, Lawyer Lee.

Author Moon, you go and find the owner of that hat. It's the most worrisome aspect of the case.

I understand.

We're really going to the beach tomorrow, right?

Of course. You don't need to hear the answer twice.

Can you take off work for two days?

I've worked hard enough for a while to deserve two days off.

Don't worry about me and just look up where we should go tomorrow.

Okay, let's go inside.

Come inside. Come inside, come inside.

Why?

You said you would only be staying at Noona's place for two days. Two days have passed so come back inside.

All of my belongings are still there.

Ahjummeoni brought them over a while ago.

Stop being a nuisance and come back in.

I got it.

See you tomorrow.

Why does Mom keep being like this?

It's good that you came. Let's fold this together.

Okay.

- Mom. - Yes.

I heard you gave Jae Chan his things back.

He was only supposed to stay for two days.

Well because you cut him off so strictly.

Mom, is there something you're upset about because of Jae Chan?

No, there's nothing like that.

Timing and Subtitles brought by The Dream Team @ Viki

I changed it but... I changed it but things got worse.

I blocked him from getting stabbed but...

I knew Dad would pass away and I still couldn't stop it.

Mom, I couldn't stop it.

I couldn't save Dad! I couldn't stop it.

I'm sorry, Prosecutor Jeong.

But I can't see my Hong Joo falling apart.

Aigoo.

Which beach should we go to?

It'll be hard to go to Southern Sea and come back in a day.

Chief Prosecutor Park Dae Yeong: I sent you some onion tonic. Have you received it yet? I'm praying for you every day.

Don't worry about about us. Just take care of your body.

Deputy Prosecutor Lee Jee Kwang: Don't overwork yourself. If it hurts, rest more.

Without you, I am the best looking in Prosecution Team 3!

Sin Hui Min: To the Newbie whom we can't even tell is absent,

rest all you want before you come back.

Why do all of them show humanity all of a sudden?

I don't know. I'm going to the beach.

Is this an outfit for the beach?

Yeah. I usually dress like this when I go to the beach. A suit and sunglasses.

And, a picnic blanket!

Why isn't the bus coming? The bus going to the beach.

You're anxious, right?

And you're worried that someone else will suffer instead of you?

No, I'm not worried about it.

And someone else can suffer in my place!

I'm always the one that gets beat up by criminals, and gets shot at!

And I work so hard! Quitting prosecution is too much.

I hate how all the hardships are only coming to me. This isn't fair.

Hardships have to be redistributed fairly.

Forget it. We can go to the beach later. Hurry and get back to work.

Why? Let's go to the beach. You said you wanted to go.

Forget it. I was feeling weird about going too.

Look! I even brought my laptop. I was going to work.

We can find a way if we look.

Hurry and get back to work.

I got it. But if I get back to work and think this isn't right, I'm going straight to the beach.

If you go then give me a call. I'll go with you.

I warned you that it would be a hard decision.

Start getting your heart ready.

Okay.

Hurry, hurry!

Hurry and push me!

It's a perfect fit.

You've seen me before in front of the elevator, right?

No. I've never seen you before.

Hey, kid. Are you okay?

I am arresting you for physical assault.

You have the right to have a lawyer and to keep silent.

I was just trying to talk to the kid!

What kind of talk were you trying to have that he peed his pants?

Let's go to the police station and talk about everything.

Go inside quickly.

Kiddo, are you okay?

But hey, Tak. How did you know that the man was about to cause trouble and chase him?

I can do some face reading.

Do you think I would become a police chief with my physiognomy?

Not sure.

Sunbae, I'm here.

Hey, it's good that you came.

Do you remember the professor's assistant that you— Oh, my.

Yes, I remember. The assistant that rebelled against Author Moon?

You came back after trying to buy real estate? You're rebelling with your outfit.

Well, it's not that I did wear this outfit in order to rebel.

Go ahead and continue with what you were saying.

I called the hospital to see if I could interview him instead of you, and they told me that the professor's assistant is brain dead.

I heard that he's supposed to donate his organs today to seven people.

Seven people. It was this person.

What?

Sunbae, I will be back.

Okay, have fun!

I must be an employee, not a supervisor.

Contact me right away when the suspect is caught. I'll constantly check my cellphone.

And check whether the requests for approval in the morning are approved or not.

Yes.

Sunbae, are you going somewhere?

I'll be going to the hospital because of my Chan Ho.

- Here, here. - Yes.

Her son seems to be ill, right?

Yes, I think so.

Since she's a single mom, it must be twice as hard.

Sunbaenims because of all of you I took care of my body all this time and recovered. You all worried a lot, huh?

I'm glad you came.

You came?

They haven't been worried about me.

Sunbaenim, why are you like that? Did something happen to Chan Ho?

Today, they said that our Chan Ho might have an organ transplant.

A person that could provide organ donation showed up?

Yes, it's a brain-dead patient. It seems that he'll be pronounced brain-dead soon.

They said that they'll do the surgery right after the pronouncement is made.

It didn't hit me yet. And I still can't believe it.

It will work out well, right?

Of course!! Of course, it will turn out well!

I don't want to uselessly worry the others. You know, right?

My mouth is very heavy.

If my mouth was light, the news that Chief gets fillers, the fact that Prosecutor Sin is a Buddhist would be spread all over Hangang.

Our Chief Prosecutor gets filler injections?

Don't even mention it.

He has a mania for getting injections. If you look at him closely—

My goodness. And Prosecutor Sin is Buddhist?

She is really sincere Buddhist. She does 108 bows at the temple.

Daebak. I just only found out about this amusing news.

Did you release the tension now?

Even when you go to the hospital later, just like this, relax and be composed.

You heard me, right?

Thank you.

Fighting!

I'll call you.

Fighting.

Where did all of them go?

Hyang Mi, I came!

Prosecutor Jeong, did you arrive?

Ah, why are you walking in like that?

You like my backside more than my front.

From now on, I intend to be like this in front of you.

Yes, thank you.

Hyang Mi, hello.

Prosecutor Jeong! Are you alright?

Did you fully recover everywhere you got hurt?

You didn't overexert yourself and come out, right? My goodness, look at your face...

It's been cut in half. It's already small...

As expected, the only one that greets me is you.

Ah, why? Everyone really missed you.

No, you were the only one.

Do catching-up later but take care of this first.

What is it?

It's an autopsy report.

As soon as the autopsy is done, they say that they need to head into transplant surgery, so you need to process it quickly.

Approval form for organ procurement

If it's according to my dream, as soon as you return to work, you will go out on an inspection.

Ah, what are you doing?

Quickly stamp it and send it. That way, they can start the organ transplant surgery.

Section Chief, if perhaps this patient didn't become brain-dead through an accident, what should be done?

What if it's because he was hit by someone?

Then, you can't proceed with the transplant because you need it for an autopsy.

Chief, why don't we go to the hospital right now.

What? Why?

Before I sign off on this, I feel like I need to dig a little more.

Ah, yes.

He's starting to dig as soon as he gets in? All he does is dig every day.

He's the mole of the Prosecution Division 3!

I totally forgot. That's probably why people don't gladly greet him.

I know.

Timing and Subtitles brought by The Dream Team @ Viki

It's not mine.

Yes, Woo Tak.

- Where are you right now? - I'm on my way to the hospital for an investigation.

You heard about my dream from Hong Joo, right?

Yes, I heard.

I think I've arrested the criminal of that case. Professor Moon Tae Min.

Really?

And I think I've gotten a witness for that case.

He's still a kid, so the truth may come in and out. But, it's still pretty concrete.

In a little bit, this case will be turned over to the Han River Police department.

Prosecutor Jeong is here. Are you fully recovered now?

Yes.

Please explain to me in detail what the situation is.

They say that I have to go to Han River Assault Department because of that kid.

Assault is not the issue here.

If you go there, it's obvious that the professor assistant case will be linked.

If organ transplants are done, they can't do autopsy, can they?

Cause of death can't be proved.

Then I can be released with lack of evidence.

For now, when you get to the department, tell them you'd like to have your lawyer and keep your mouth shut.

I'll figure out the rest of it.

- Take me to Seogu University Hospital. - Okay.

Just bear it a little more. You are strong, my Chan Ho.

Yes. If you just pass this surgery well, you won't have to come back to the hospital to get dialysis.

And I can use the bathroom like other kids, right?

Ah, of course. How can you be so smart?

Doctor, Chan Ho's mother, just a minute.

What's going on?

Somehow, today's surgery might be difficult.

Why all of a sudden?

The prosecutor just left after inspection of the body but he didn't sign the organ procurement paperwork,

saying that he might have to perform an autopsy.

Wait a minute.

Pardon?

Did patient Lee Hwan go into organ procurement surgery?

Who are you?

I'm Hwan's school senior. The professor was wondering how he is doing.

The prosecutor came earlier today and inspected this patient.

He said that it didn't seem like an accident and didn't sign the organ procurement paperwork.

You are saying that he didn't do it?

Do you perhaps know who the prosecutor in charge is?

They said that it was Prosecutor Jeong Jae Chan, who is really tall.

Fine, Jae Chan. Let's go for it.

This has happened anyway so let's go to trial. I'll fight properly at the trial.

Sunbaenim Son, why are you here so early? How about the surgery?

He couldn't get it.

Why?

I told you.

I can't believe it and it doesn't seem real.

I was right about that feeling.

The donor who is supposed to give his organ to my Chan Ho...

I think he has to have an autopsy performed on him.

You two are here. Chief Prosecutor is calling you.

Calling us? Why all of a sudden?

He has something to discuss with you urgently.

Approval form for organ procurement

What is this about?

What's there to discuss all of a sudden?

Our newbie prosecutor. He's making things complicated as soon as he comes back to work.

Geez, you. Seriously.

He's not making it complicated. We should be nitpicking it.

- Tell us. - Okay.

I just came back from the victim who is brain dead from Seogu University Hospital.

If I approved the donation of his organs, the surgery was to proceed right away.

Hey! What are you doing here then? It's an urgent surgery. You should approve it quickly.

I couldn't approve it.

Why not?

I don't think he died in an accident.

If not an accident, what is it?

This is a video clip that Reporter Nam of SBC sent me.

It's a scene from Author Moon Tae Min's recent publishing party. The TA you see back here is the victim.

As you can see, he was dragged out while speaking up about the professor's wrongdoing.

An hour later, he was found in the elevator tunnel which he fell into in the same building.

I heard he was drunk and fell unconscious.

No. If you see him here, the TA is not drunk at all.

Compared to other people, he's holding onto his drink much less frequently.

You're right.

So, you think someone pushed him down by force?

Yes.

Did you narrow down the suspect? If you're not approving just out of speculation, you're hurting many people.

Author Moon Tae Min is the most likely suspect.

Really?

I just received a call from the police station in the Region 3.

Author Moon was arrested for assaulting a kindergartener.

But that kindergartener said that he saw Author Moon at the crime scene.

He's suspicious in many ways.

- I think we should do an autopsy. - Chief Prosecutor.

But we can't do an autopsy. Since he's still brain dead...

If he's brain dead, his heart will stop in a few days. We can do an autopsy then.

Then, he can't donate his organs.

Just so that we can donate his organs, should we skip over an autopsy that should be performed? And what if we don't catch the suspect?

What if we perform an autopsy and it was an accidental death?

That's throwing away lives for no reason.

Geez. I just don't understand.

Just over this evidence, you go against the families of the donor and donees and perform an autopsy?

The victim's family requested that we perform an autopsy.

You must've convinced him because you wanted to do it! Hey...

For you, it's more important to score high on your performance than save seven lives, right?

It's not like that, Sunbaenim!

Hey, Lee Ji Gwang! What's wrong with you? Is this an emotional matter?

I mean, if there's a suspicion of murder, don't you know our priority is to perform an autopsy to find out the cause?

That's how we can stand the suspect in trial!

We should have somewhat solid evidence.

Those pieces of evidence, do you think they're enough to exchange for seven lives?

Do you think so, too?

I believe Sunbae Lee has a reasonable point.

With evidence like this, I think it's a dangerous decision to give up on organ transplant surgeries and perform an autopsy.

What do you think, Deputy Prosecutor Son?

Pardon?

What do you think? This organ extraction. Should he approve it?

I...

I...

I don't think he should approve it.

Sunbaenim.

An autopsy... It should be done.

I believe Prosecutor Jeong made the right decision.

Sunbaenim. Are you out of your mind? Don't you know which case Prosecutor Jeong is working on?

That brain dead patient is the one who will donate his kidney to Chan Ho!

I know.

But you say he should do an autopsy? You give up on Chan Ho to catch a perpetrator?

You know that's not what I meant.

No, I don't know! I don't know!

Under this circumstance, if you're going to make some holier than thou statement like you made that decision as a prosecutor—

I didn't make the decision as a prosecutor.

I made that decision as a parent.

What if I was that TA's parent, rather than saving someone else's child,

I'd want to reveal how my son died.

Hwan, say something.

Who did this to you?

Your father will catch him...

and make him pay for it! Please tell me, huh?

Whether it's seven people or 70 people, rather than saving someone else,

I'd think first about relieving my son's resentment.

That's the parent's heart.

So, I believe an autopsy should be performed.

Not as a prosecutor.

As a parent.

That's what I think.

This brain dead victim. He won't survive a week. His heart will give out.

Do the autopsy then.

Take care of this by not approving this.

Approval form for organ procurement

Which way would you choose?

Will you save seven people...

or will you catch one murderer?

If you were me, which would you choose?

If it were me,

I wouldn't choose either one of them.

Chief Prosecutor, could we perform organ transplant and autopsy at the same time?

What?

I discussed this with the medical examiner.

It's very rare, but there are cases where organ transplant surgery and autopsy were performed at the same time.

In the 2008 Busan overpass murder case,

they performed organ transplant and autopsy simultaneously and received a guilty verdict.

In the Pyeongchang ski resort case from 2014,

the autopsy and organ transplant surgery were performed at the same time resulting in negligent homicide verdict.

And also—

As for that, they're rare cases as you said.

When you perform organ transplant surgery, autopsy becomes impossible. So, it's very difficult to get to the cause of death.

Yes, but that rare case is very similar to this case.

All the victims didn't damage their organs but rather their heads.

As a result of the examination, they found a fracture in the neck.

Without examining major organs, and only examining the head and neck,

I think we can find out the cause of his death.

It can't be "I think you can find out." You must find out.

Yes, I will find out for sure.

If it were me, I'd save those seven people and also catch the murderer.
