THE NAMES OF PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, AND BACKGROUNDS OF THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

PARK KITAE

I'm Han Yihan, a lawyer at New-Hope Law Office.

Who is this?

Well… There's a problem.

What happened?

Well… There was an accident.

Go ahead

if you want to get killed without a trace.

Getting rid of you here isn't even hard.

How? How did this happen?

He was attacked by an inmate.

Right here. He got stabbed in the neck with a broken toothbrush.

His neck was beyond damaged with cuts in his trachea.

There was nothing I could do to save him.

We don't have enough facilities or people,

so we couldn't have proper surgery.

Who's the inmate that attacked him?

Well…

He's a death-row convict.

-A death-row convict? -Yes.

The name is Nam Hyukchul.

He was sentenced to death and got imprisoned six years ago.

Nam Hyukchul?

Can we meet him now?

No, he was extremely agitated,

so we drugged him to sleep.

He'll wake up tomorrow at the earliest.

I'll have him transferred

to the jail in Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

What?

You can just summon him as needed. Why do you have to go so far?

I'm too worried to leave a murder suspect with people who have no control over him.

Get him ready for the transfer.

Let me report this back to the warden.

I'll meet the warden with you. I'll tell him myself.

Then please give us a moment.

Go ahead and make a call.

Do not touch him.

We'll examine him properly at the NFS.

Right.

He needs an autopsy.

Prosecutor Geum, come with me.

The warden agreed to see you.

Yihan, thank you

for saving someone who betrayed you.

If you're grateful, don't betray me ever again.

I'll be on your side this time.

I'm serious.

Then you have to forgive me a little. Okay?

EPISODE 4

Park Kitae died?

He was going to be released tomorrow. Why?

It was Gu Jingi.

I should have expected him to do this.

He cut open Seokju's chest and took his heart

although he was alive.

I was too careless. It's my mistake.

You may all fall in danger too. So--

Stop going on with that nonsense.

-Hey, you. -I'm right, aren't I?

If you knew this would happen, you shouldn't be a doctor or a lawyer.

You should be a fortune-teller.

Someone else killed that man. Why do you have to feel guilty?

Am I wrong?

I'm a loyal woman.

Banseokwon is the best hospital in Korea,

but no one wanted to do my dad's surgery and tried to send him to another hospital.

But you did it and saved him.

I quit my job as a reporter to repay your kindness.

If you act like this, how can I not get frustrated?

She's right.

If it hadn't been for you, I would've been some gangster's minion.

Don't say that.

Right.

If I stop now,

it means Gu Jingi will have his way.

Let's make him regret

being a doctor

who has no regard for human life.

Dr. Park, a cardiothoracic surgeon

on trial for manslaughter and professional negligence,

was killed by a death-row convict who was in the same detention center.

Mr. Nam was a medical device manufacturer

who was sentenced to death six years ago

for killing a doctor at Banseok University Medical Center with a broken bottle

whom he served at an adult entertainment venue.

Most death-row convicts are held in detention centers,

where unconvicted inmates are confined,

until the day of their execution.

That's why Mr. Nam, a death-row convict,

was imprisoned in the same center as the victim, Dr. Park.

A death-row convict who is unconvited?

What an interesting nation.

Let us hear from Attorney Han Yihan, a medical lawyer of the victim,

-on the details of the case. -Han Yihan.

A lawyer who specializes in medical malpractice.

My name is Han Yihan, the victim's attorney.

The deceased was falsely accused of a medical crime

and got confined in a detention center.

As an attorney, I will hold the prosecution

and Banseok University Medical Center accountable for his death.

In order to evade responsibility for the death of a patient,

Banseok University Medical Center blamed all faults to the individual doctor.

This led to the forceful arrest by the prosecution,

which became the foundation for the victim's death.

How dare you?

When his autopsy is over,

we will file a complaint with Banseok University Medical Center

and expose the truth behind the victim's horrendous death

to hold them accountable.

Also, we'll represent all victims of malpractice

from Banseok University Medical Center pro bono.

I promise we will fight for them until the end.

That was Attorney Han Yihan.

He asserts that the deceased victim is innocent,

whereas the prosecution pressed him regarding the medical crime investigation.

Back then,

I should have listened to you.

It's belated, but we should straighten this out, right?

Before it's too late.

Yes, I'll do that.

Good work.

Soohee.

I think you came off as a little strong.

How so?

It's a fact that Nam Hyukchul killed

a doctor at Banseok University Medical Center six years ago

and Park Kitae in confinement.

I only delivered facts.

There's something called de-facto defamation.

That's like a medal for reporters.

Will you defend me if I get sued?

Of course.

Thanks a lot, Soohee.

You've made follow-up reports on the case since the last trial

and even prepared a separate segment for us.

It was an exclusive story. I should thank you.

What's your plan now?

They were openly denounced, so they won't just sit back.

Thank you very much for visiting Banseokwon.

Banseokwon aims

to have our members feel like they aren't at a hospital.

You'll be able to enjoy many perks that come with your membership.

You two are a perfect fit at our center.

We have many different facilities on each floor.

Our fitness center is equipped with the newest machines

and the most qualified trainers to help you stay in perfect health.

Not bad.

Should we continue? Let's go.

We reflected the fields and greens

of many famous golf clubs in Korea and overseas.

Give it a try.

And our luxurious anti-aging center

will lift up the body and hearts of our exhausted members.

From the eighth floor and up are our hotel and the penthouse.

There's no problem for our overseas VIPs to come by and enjoy their stay.

Among many VIPs, Banseokwon aims to become

the most luxurious anti-aging and healthcare center

for the top one percent.

-Sounds great. I love it. -Thank you.

The chief of the anti-aging center.

My name is Yoo Gayeon. Nice to meet you.

Allow me to serve you with all of my heart. Let us go.

It's an honor to have you.

Which floor are you headed to?

Honey, isn't there a floor only for the VIPs?

Right, may we see that place too?

I'm sorry.

That floor is only for our special members.

You two are still young. You'll find a chance to become one.

Why are you here?

His bereaved family wants me to observe the autopsy.

They said it'd crush them to come and watch this.

Why do you need to observe it?

He died, so the court will dismiss the indictment.

Then aren't you done with your job as an attorney?

The criminal trial is over.

But the civil suit against Banseok University Medical Center begins now.

And I got things to look over with the prosecution.

Thank you for your time.

You were a witness on scene at the time of his death,

so I wanted to hear your opinion.

Don't worry about it. I'm more at ease to come here and do this

instead of the prosecution.

Current time, 3:32 p.m. The autopsy begins now.

Silent prayers.

Right there. Another photo.

Scalpel.

Yes, well, the cause of his death is

excessive bleeding due to a severed carotid artery

and hematogenic shock.

I couldn't find any underlying diseases.

Is it that easy to cut one's carotid artery?

The culprit stabbed him violently,

so one of the hits must have gone deep into the artery.

I was on night duty yesterday.

They were almost finished taking showers.

The hallway became noisy, then people came running to the infirmary.

Lay him on his back!

Ketamine. Now!

Hurry!

Mr. Park, can you hear me?

Don't speak. It'll go worse!

More gauze! Hurry!

This was not medical malpractice.

I really did my best, but he died before I could do anything.

Did he say anything before he died?

No.

His neck was ragged. How could he say anything?

When can I receive Kitae's belongings

which the prosecution took?

After we're done with the procedures.

Please hurry.

The deceased is no longer the accused, but the victim.

His possessions are no longer evidence.

Let's talk.

We can talk about personal matters now.

We're no longer the prosecutor and the attorney in a trial.

Follow me.

Making investments and lobbying.

Without these two wheels, nothing ever happens in the US.

Honours Hand will personally invest and lobby to help Banseok

establish the corporate body

and have everything approved by the FDA.

From now on, my wife, who is in the US, and Director Gu Hyunseong will be

in charge of everything for our launch in the US.

I hope you look after each other, help out, and get along.

I look forward to your help.

Sure.

Will you get the meal ready?

Let me cut the steak.

Let me have it. I'll do that.

What's the best way of serving meat?

Preparing enough meat to satisfy everyone's appetite.

And if possible, in the parts each person likes.

Director Gu and Mr. Gu.

You two will accumulate an amazing amount of wealth

thanks to Banseok's successful launch in the US.

You two deserve striploin, the part with the richest flavor.

Ambassador Im, you must keep your heart strong

to stay healthy through the presidential election.

So you should take the tenderloin with minimal fat.

Yuna, you should have both.

I'm still not sure what you're after.

Please, dig in.

I don't think you have enough meat. I think you made a mistake.

This is enough for me.

Only the best parts of tenderloin and striploin are here.

You and I want different things.

Each to our own.

We aren't in a relationship to pour one and make a toast.

Thanks.

I became overly emotional and almost had an innocent man convicted

while losing the real criminal.

Thank you for preventing that.

I mean it.

I only did my job as a lawyer.

Yes, you're a lawyer.

Then let me ask. Why did you become a lawyer?

You admitted to killing Seokju and got off with probation.

Then you should live quietly in regret.

How dare you shamelessly become a medical lawyer?

Because it makes money.

Director Gu Jingi is stopping me from getting my license restored.

So I only found a way to make a living

by doing something I'm good at.

Are you really that man I always knew?

When you showed up in court,

I was surprised and angry at first, but I became a little hopeful.

I thought, "Was there another truth he couldn't reveal back then?"

"Is that why he became a lawyer?"

Did you become a medical lawsuit expert

and defend the medical malpractice case

from Banseok University Medical Center to reveal the truth--

Do you really hope that there's a different truth?

If there was a truth I couldn't reveal,

and if that's why I was framed for this medical crime,

then the prosecution

and the Medical Crime Department will be responsible.

The prosecutor who pressed me and had me framed five years ago is

the current head of the Medical Crime Department,

Baek Kangho.

And before you blame me,

we need to have Kitae vindicated.

Kitae's murderer, Nam Hyukchul.

He was famous in the medical device field for persistent and dirty sales tactics.

He also had a connection at Banseok University Medical Center.

What do you mean, a connection?

In Banseokwon,

the nurse who took part in Seokju's operation

was Nam Hyukchul's wife.

She's the head of the nursing department at Banseok University Medical Center now.

So investigate all his relationships properly.

He once ran a successful medical equipment business.

There must be a reason why he ended up killing two doctors.

I wonder how long Jayden, that punk, has known about my heart.

Are you the one who told him?

Certainly not, sir.

Someone must've leaked your medical records in the US.

Honours Hand has enough resources to obtain such information.

His attitude is so…

He is very arrogant.

He is in charge of investing and lobbying,

but he is merely just playing with other people's money.

Hyunseong, why don't you go and spend some time with Yuna?

Show her around the garden too.

Will do.

You have a long way to go until the presidential election.

We will provide you with full support

so that nothing interferes with your health.

Thank you for your kind words.

But I have no intention of trusting a machine with my heart.

What do you mean by that?

Please don't use a robot for my surgery,

and ask Hyunseong to perform it himself.

Otherwise, I won't do my surgery at Banseok University Medical Center.

I understand your concern,

but V-Rock allows you to perform the surgery without opening the chest.

Then the recovery will be much faster--

So, are you asking me to trust my life with that robot,

which is still in its trial phase?

You're not using my heart as a test case, are you?

No way.

What? Is it going to be a problem?

Even before the development of the robot,

Hyunseong was in charge of all the VIP patients at Banseokwon.

I heard his skills are remarkable.

It's no problem at all. Please don't worry.

I'll make sure that my son is the one who performs

your heart surgery.

Yes.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I got it prescribed for medical use. But I needed it to relax a little.

Why did you put it out? What a waste.

It’s hard to get a hold of it here.

Why do you look so surprised?

You said it was for medical use.

I'm not that close-minded.

It seems like it.

Thanks to you, I had a good time earlier.

The men here act unnecessarily subservient

to the elders with money and power.

But you didn't do that.

Is Director Gu Hyunseong one of those men?

I'm not sure.

Do you wish that's the case?

Yuna.

I guess he was worried…

that I might be with you.

Go relieve his anxiety.

You can answer my question next time.

Do I have to answer it?

Use your imagination

until we meet again.

Hyunseong. Is the discussion over?

Yes, kind of.

Were you alone with him all along?

I just ran into him after taking a walk.

I was about to go inside.

Were you looking for me?

Actually, there is something I really want to give to you today.

What is it? By any chance…

It's okay. Just open it. It's not a ring.

You still have a few more days to go,

but it's your director's inauguration gift.

Do you like it?

It's so beautiful.

I'll wear them to the inauguration ceremony.

Thank you.

Sure.

Shall we go inside?

-Because of that man… -Goodness.

It's so unfair.

-That's what I'm talking about. -What?

My goodness.

-Get in line. -Seriously.

-Oh, my. -What happened to you?

They killed my mom.

My mom's life was hanging by a thread.

She died because they neglected her and didn't give her treatment.

This is nonsense.

But based on the hospitalization records you provided,

the patient refused life-sustaining treatment.

I guess you didn't agree to that?

-Yes, I agreed. -I see.

So both you and the patient agreed to refuse life-sustaining treatment,

but you want to sue the hospital

for just letting her die?

But even if we had agreed,

if someone is dying,

shouldn't the doctors save the patient's life first?

Am I wrong about that?

What nonsense…

What? What did you just say?

What? Nonsense?

-No. -Is this a joke to you?

What on earth is it that you do? What ridiculous place is this?

Look here. Check this out.

Gosh, take a proper look!

It looks like a scar from having an appendectomy.

It's medical malpractice, right? I'm going to sue them.

Pardon? That's quite normal

-for appendectomy. -"Normal"?

But I can't even wear a bikini in the summer because of this scar!

Gosh, why are you doing this?

Take a closer look!

The scar is so large. Why can't I sue them?

Okay, I got it. Please have a seat.

Please tell me how you were harmed by Banseok University Medical Center.

Banseok University Medical Center installed a tapping device in my ear.

They're monitoring me.

That must be very uncomfortable.

Okay, drink this, everyone.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

I was so scared earlier.

Why did you have to announce on TV that we'll represent people pro bono?

Stop complaining if you don't have a death wish.

It was my day off after a week.

Do you know how to torment someone the most with the least amount of effort?

You sue them.

Whether they’ve done wrong or not, just sue them with anything.

Even if they didn't do anything wrong?

Getting sued itself is stressful.

On top of it, there are back-to-back cases that involve Banseok.

If all these lawsuits are filed against them all at once,

wouldn't it be quite stressful?

Of course, among these,

there must be victims who really have been wronged.

My child's voice doesn't come out well

ever since she got her surgery at Banseok University Medical Center.

Your daughter had

a mediastinal tumor resection last fall.

The location of the tumor…

was on the left side of the heart.

The size was five centimeters.

It must've been a difficult surgery.

What did the hospital say about the results?

They said they did their best,

and based on moral principles, they would waive the hospital fees.

This is a terrible situation,

but it wouldn't have been easy to cleanly remove a tumor of this size.

Even if the surgeon had made a mistake,

criminal proceedings would be difficult. A civil claim wouldn't have--

I wasn't fully anesthetized.

-What did you say? -Soyeon, your throat…

It’s okay. I want to tell him myself.

I went inside the operating room and was put under anesthesia.

I lost consciousness for a short while

and woke up again soon afterward. But…

I couldn't move my body.

Don't do it! I am awake!

Stop! Don't do it! Don't!

I shouted as hard as I could to say that

I hadn't been anesthetized.

I asked them to stop many times,

but no one could hear me.

The pain

and the feeling of metal ripping through my flesh

are so fresh that I can't get them out of my head.

Mr. Han.

Please watch this.

That's right, I have a dream

I believe in that dream

Watch me

A cold wall that is the fate Stands tall before me

But I can face it

-With confidence -Since childhood, she loved to sing.

Despite her young age,

she trained for seven years to become a singer.

Last year, she became a candidate for a debut group.

But she lost her voice.

Mom, why are you crying again?

You are making me cry.

OPERATING AGREEMENT PATIENT: GIL SOYEON

OPERATING SURGEON: GU HYUNSEONG

Operating surgeon, Gu Hyunseong.

OPERATION RECORD

ANESTHESIOLOGIST: LEE DOHYUNG

I know it will be painful for you, but please give me more details.

Who operated?

What did they talk about during the operation?

Please tell me everything.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

Come on in.

Didn't you go home?

Well… We will be interrogating Nam Hyukchul soon.

I came to check the materials.

Why the rush?

It won't require much work since he is on death row.

I had other reasons.

Can we have a chat for a second?

Sure. Take a seat.

-Would you like coffee? -Yes, please.

What is this about?

I went to observe Park Kitae's autopsy yesterday

and ran into Han Yihan.

I wanted him to tell me why he showed up as a lawyer

even if he only gave me excuses, so I had a drink with him.

He said something strange.

What did he say?

"What if there is another truth to Seokju's trial?"

"What if I was framed for medical malpractice?"

"What will you do then?"

What a shameless idiot. He still goes around spouting nonsense.

We should have put him behind bars no matter what.

-"No matter what"? -Yes. No matter what.

We should have appealed and taken things to the Supreme Court

so that he would have been punished.

The nurse who participated in the operation

became the head of the nursing department at Banseok University Medical Center.

And her ex-husband is

Nam Hyukchul, the death-row convict who killed Park Kitae.

What about it?

I won't know for sure unless I look into Nam Hyukchul,

but I don't think it's a coincidence.

Park Kitae was also a doctor who operated on Seokju.

The man who killed him is related to Banseok.

Don't have preconceived ideas about the victim.

You will make another mistake.

I won't.

I can't make a mistake.

What do you mean?

Why can't we use V-Rock for the ambassador's surgery?

Ambassador Im doesn't want to be operated by a robot.

What a stubborn man.

He watched the demonstration, but he still doesn't trust the machine.

What should we do?

In the past few years, I used V-Rock for all major surgeries.

We need to find someone

who will operate instead.

I will take care of it, so just focus on the hospital.

Make sure Han Yihan doesn't stir anything up.

Understood.

I killed him because it was unfair!

The doctors who took money from me didn't even receive punishment.

They live a comfortable life.

But I will rot away in this place.

Did you know the victim, Park Kitae?

Yes.

I often paid for the get-together of the cardiothoracic surgery department.

Do you know what's funny?

He didn't recognize me until the moment he got stabbed.

Doctors are too high and mighty to remember someone like me.

They only thought of me as a wallet.

After years of being an exemplary inmate,

you killed a man for such a small reason.

Am I supposed to believe that nonsense?

Your ex-wife, Cho Junghyun,

became the head of the nursing department.

She is now in charge of over 1,000 nurses.

Isn't it an overly shocking promotion for someone

whose husband killed a doctor at the same hospital?

Hey!

What does it have to do with me?

I don't care what happened to the witch who filed for divorce

as soon as her husband went down.

It has nothing to do with me.

Gosh.

If she has nothing to do with you,

why are you getting so worked up?

Stop acting and give me the real reason.

Why did you kill Park Kitae?

I told you.

A longer sentence won't affect me, a death-row convict.

I killed him since it felt unfair to rot here alone.

Perhaps…

you want me to make up a story about receiving an order.

Is it what you want?

Is it?

This is giving me a headache.

We can't offer anything

to a man who will be in prison for life. This is driving me crazy.

Here is the information on the suspect.

He and Cho Junghyun got divorced six years ago.

He has a son. I guess he broke ties with his father

because he hasn't visited once.

He doesn't have pocket money either.

There isn't anything unusual about his bank transactions.

Hold on. If it happened six years ago,

she divorced him as soon as he killed a man.

It's understandable.

She probably didn't want to live as a murderer's wife.

Dig deeper into his family and acquaintances.

Check the visitors

and mails he received during imprisonment.

Okay.

I think things will get freakishly tiring.

"Freakishly"? I am surprised you use that word.

Don't underestimate me.

I know all the trendy phrases. "Whatever, go watch TV."

Don't be ridiculous. Go watch TV.

What? Where are you going? Wait for me.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

You will sue us for all of these cases.

You know most of them will be dismissed.

Why are you doing this?

The department of justice will be the judge.

Please excuse me.

100 LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER IN A MONTH

This article has been released.

100 LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER IN A MONTH

Banseok won't even bat an eye.

We can have that article taken down in a day.

Go ahead and try.

And…

I want to take Park Kitae's belongings. Where are they?

How would I know about such trivial matters?

I am sure they are in his office.

I see.

In that case, I will collect them myself.

You will be busy going over all of these materials.

Ms. Kang Miok, did you sleep well?

I couldn't sleep a wink because I was nauseous.

My goodness. You struggled all night long.

I will ask them to lower the dose.

But here is what makes us worried.

Because you haven't eaten breakfast and lunch much,

your heart is under a bit of strain.

So promise me you will finish your dinner.

I will try to eat

because you're so nice.

Thank you. Then see you in the evening.

Ms. Park Jongsoon. How are you feeling today?

Hey. There's blood.

There's blood?

-Let me take a look. -No, I'm not talking about me.

Look at your nose.

You have a nosebleed.

I do?

I'm all right. We're at a hospital. And I'm a doctor.

I'll be okay.

Can you get me some tissue?

A nosebleed in front of a patient?

Should I take more health supplements?

Drink this, doctor.

Gosh. Thank you…

Good work.

Yihan?

Yihan!

How long has it been?

This place hasn't changed even after five years.

Do you still pull all-nighters?

Gosh, Yihan.

You know things don't change here just like in the military.

These are Kitae's personal belongings.

The prosecutor took most of his stuff during the investigation.

So this is all that's left.

Thanks for keeping them.

Don't mention it.

You and Kitae both were members of the medical staff here.

Right. Those were some tough days.

How are things here these days?

-You're a fellow now, right? -Yes.

People call me a fellow, but in real life, I'm like a slave.

This is my third year.

Third year? Aren't things going to get better for you now?

One can dream. You saw me with the nosebleed earlier.

This is all because of you.

When I was an intern,

you said, "You're the only genius to follow in my footsteps."

I wouldn't have joined CS if you didn't sweet-talk me.

Don't you remember other professors tried to scout me to their departments?

Sorry for leaving you alone here.

Gosh, Yihan. I was just joking.

But I'm glad to see you're doing better.

A lawyer after a doctor?

I knew it. Some people are bound to be successful no matter what.

But I hope

you will come back to medicine someday.

Once everything gets sorted out,

I hope you will be a cardiothoracic surgeon

at a hospital even if it's not here.

Okay. Thank you.

Let's go. I'll carry this for you.

You must be the surgical first assistant for a lot of surgeries these days.

Not a lot. But only for major ones.

After Kitae's recent incident,

Dr. Gu Hyunseong and I are the only cardiothoracic surgeons here.

So we usually bring in residents for most of our surgeries.

Yosub, do you know a patient named Gil Soyeon

by any chance?

Gil Soyeon?

Yes. Gu Hyunseong

performed the mediastinal tumor resection on her.

But the damaged laryngeal nerve changed her voice.

And I'm handling her lawsuit.

Then you came back here today because…

You…

How dare you show up here?

Hello, sir.

I stopped by to pick up Kitae's belongings.

Is there a problem?

Your presence in this hospital is the problem.

Take his things and get out.

Who's your ghost these days?

What?

Gu Jingi must have gotten you a new one.

A ghost to replace me.

-You… -Gu Hyunseong.

Thanks for inviting me last night. It was fun.

Sure.

What brings you here?

I have to talk to your father about the repayment of the investment.

-I see. Why don't we go to his office? -No.

I will discuss this matter only with your father.

You don't have any deciding power.

And who's this?

You're Han Yihan. The lawyer. I saw your interview.

-And you are? -Jayden Lee.

A business partner who invested in Banseok.

You must be busy preparing the lawsuits against the hospital.

What brings you here?

Don't tell me there's a new problem I should be aware of.

It's not new.

There's been a problem for a long time.

A very big problem.

Did I miss something?

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'll say hello if we ever meet again. Goodbye now.

Look into that lawyer's background.

Why?

I need to find out

if there's a problem I'm not aware of.

Thanks.

I must have taken too much of your time. You seem busy.

-Bye. -Bye.

I guess you have too much time on your hands.

You have time to chitchat with a visitor.

No.

Don't you know he's suing our hospital?

Don't meet him in private.

Don't even call him. Understood?

Yes, sir.

You want to be repaid with the shares

of our research and development center, equivalent to half of the investment

you made?

Based on the stock price from five years ago

which was when the investment was made.

Since we were able to overcome a crisis with your help,

to show good faith for our partner,

I can partially repay the investment with the shares. However,

half is too much.

The price has gone up compared to five years ago.

Does that mean…

you won't keep your promise?

I'm saying that we need to make a few adjustments.

Our legal team reviewed the investment contract.

They found grounds that the contract could be considered unfair.

Your point is?

The level of awareness in Korea

has gone up a lot.

With the economic crisis in the past and the Lone Star incident,

people have struggled a lot.

So they disapprove of losing our national assets to foreign companies.

How do you think things will pan out if the lawsuit regarding the contract

were to be held in Korea?

I don't think you'll get a better offer than the one I'm making.

I'm disappointed.

I believed that you would be

a reasonable businessman, unlike the others.

How could you use such a petty trick to break the rule?

I apologize if I offended you.

I must consider the political side of things in Korea too.

Fine. Then let's make some new rules.

We'll make it more interesting.

Exactly ten days after your nomination hearing

for the Minister of Health and Welfare,

I wish to be repaid in shares of your research and development center

based on the stock price of the moment.

Will you be okay with that?

If our new drug for Alzheimer's passes Phase Three,

as you can probably guess,

our stock price will go up beyond your control.

Even Isaac Newton, the greatest man in human history,

lost most of his money because he couldn't predict the stock prices.

I'm sure this won't happen.

But what if they were to turn you down after the hearing?

The stock price will plummet.

Fine.

In return, I want your word

that you will honor our deal whatever happens in the end.

Of course.

Then let's have both of our lawyers draw up the next contract.

Who's your ghost these days?

-What? -Gu Jingi must have gotten you a new one.

A ghost to replace me.

How dare he? He was nothing but a ghost doctor.

Hyunseong?

Yuna, where are you?

Let's get dinner if you're free.

Or we can have a glass of wine.

Too bad. I'm meeting up with my friend.

I see. No worries.

I called you rather at the last minute.

Have a good time with your friend.

Bye.

Is it Gu Hyunseong?

Did he figure out about us?

If he caught on that fast,

I wouldn't be with you right now.

So did you let your imagination take over?

Let's go someplace else.

Where?

Where my imagination will take over.

You're totally crazy.

How could you bring me here?

Tell me.

A man desperate for your affection is right downstairs.

But how does it feel to be with me?

Well,

do you want me to say it?

I finally feel alive now.

I'm so sick of being the perfect daughter of a politician.

Besides, my father and his father

basically set us up to be together.

What's that?

Freedom.

Director Gu that evil man.

I'm going to make him regret betraying me.

Just wait until I get out of here. I'm going to find that file…

-What file? -Oh, that?

I made a recording just in case…

Where did he hide it?

Lawyer Han Yihan speaking.

Mr. Han? This is Michael, Jayden's colleague.

I have a case for you.

What case?

I can't discuss it over the phone.

Jayden said he needed you to take this case.

I'll send a car to where you are. Could you come to Banseokwon now?

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

This way.

This way, sir.

What's this about?

Get in. I'll explain it on our way up.

I need you to sign it before you go in.

What's this?

This is the legal service agreement. For confidentiality.

It's a sensitive matter. We can only disclose it to our lawyer.

If you need a lawyer, you can ask Banseok Foundation's legal team for help.

Banseok can never find out.

Don't you get it?

Why Jayden singled you out to take over this case?

Don't tell me there's a new problem I should be aware of.

It's not new.

There's been a problem for a long time.

A very big problem.

Did I miss something?

They must keep their weaknesses secret from each other?

Please.

Jayden really wants you to handle the case.

Fine. I'll sign it.

HAN YIHAN

Mr. Han. Hurry.

I knew you'd come.

Han Yihan!

You needed a doctor, not a lawyer.

A doctor who would never speak of what happened to anyone.

-Mr. Han, I want you to work for me. -I have conditions.

The Central District Prosecutors Office's prosecutor is at the main entrance.

She received a tip that someone is doing drugs in the penthouse.

-Drugs? -No. Don't let them pass through.

I'll make sure you end up in prison this time.

Answer me. Are you the one who used it?

If you stop now, I'll let this slide.

I won't waste this chance.

It's the perfect chance to bring you and Han Yihan down together.

Seokju didn't die because of the surgery. He was murdered.

Don't give me that nonsense.

Do you expect me to believe that now?
