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

The doctor changed.

I remember clearly.

I saw it and heard it myself.

The doctor… The doctor changed during the surgery.

I think we need the head surgeon here.

I told you. The VIP is here, so he can't come.

This is too dangerous.

The tumor is in an odd location, so if we cut it here,

we might hurt her nerves.

Director Gu Hyunseong left her with us. So you won't do a thing?

Will you take responsibility?

Assistant Director, is the patient awake?

That was shocking. Her tape came off.

I was frightened.

I hoped it was just a nightmare.

Does Banseok University Medical Center know that she remembers

the ghost surgery?

No.

They won't even hear us out.

We went a few times to complain,

but they wouldn't even let us in.

That's why we came to see you.

What a relief.

Sorry?

We can win this case.

Soyeon, from today until your trial,

you won't remember that the doctor changed during the surgery.

No!

I saw and heard everything!

Plaintiff.

The surgeon in charge wasn't there,

and a different surgeon did my surgery!

Plaintiff. Calm down.

If you cause any more disturbance, you will be removed.

Then it must've been a ghost.

A ghost? What kind of nonsense?

The victim saw it,

but no other surgeon did the surgery?

Then the only answer is that it was a ghost.

An operation room ghost that doctors at Banseok

can't see.

This is false information.

Please stop speaking.

Sustained.

Counsel for the plaintiff. Please stop and take a seat.

I will prove to everyone here

that the operation room ghost does exist.

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

Do you still not see him?

I see him clearly.

Let me introduce

the Banseok University Medical Center ghost who did Ms. Gil's surgery.

Why are you here?

In this world,

proper doctors still outnumber those who aren't.

Of course, an attorney who only defends despicable ones wouldn't know.

YIHAN

Yihan.

How did you find…

I came to have a talk with the junior I adore.

EPISODE 6

This is…

Yes, it's a hospital. It's not much yet,

but it's cardiothoracic surgery.

Cardiothoracic surgery?

Even university hospitals have a hard time keeping one. How can you do it here?

Thankfully, I got all the medical equipment.

All I have to do now is find trustworthy staff,

someone like you, Yosub.

You operated on Gil Soyeon, didn't you?

How did you know that?

The victim remembers.

She remembers that Gu Hyunseong left during the surgery,

and another doctor came and performed ghost surgery.

The only one who can be a ghost surgeon for Gu Hyunseong is

just you.

As you know, Lee Dohyung and Cho Junghyun

won't spill the truth.

We need your testimony

to resolve the injustice Ms. Gil faced.

And what if

I can't be a doctor anymore?

I spent 20 years.

I studied hard since middle school to get into a med school.

Then I did my internship, residency, and fellowship.

I held out for 20 years without taking a moment off.

So if this mistake stops my career…

I know how you feel.

Just like you,

I was Gu Hyunseong's ghost.

It must feel unfair and frightening

to have your license suspended

and get kicked out of Banseok.

It might feel like a death sentence.

I felt the same way.

However,

this may be one mistake for us,

but to our patients, that mistake

lingers forever.

We operate on numerous patients,

but to them,

we are their only surgeon.

You told me

that you hope I continue to be a cardiothoracic surgeon

even if it isn't at Banseok.

I hope the same for you.

Even if it isn't at Banseok, I hope you continue to remain

as a doctor.

WITNESS

Let me testify.

I'm the ghost doctor who performed surgery on Ms. Gil

instead of the Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Gu Hyunseong.

Are you admitting to your violation of the Medical Service Act?

You're right.

I violated the Medical Service Act.

But I was threatened in the process.

-Your Honor. -Stay quiet.

Threatened? Who threatened you?

A man who's sitting here in the audience.

Assistant Director Lee Dohyung.

-By the assistant director? -He was threatened?

What is going on?

-Sorry? -What are you looking at? Get to it.

But I can't operate on her without telling her guardians.

Then will they be happy if she leaves with her body part cut open?

It was either you or Director Gu Hyunseong anyway.

We're already short of staff, so we have to make do with everything.

Just get started.

I couldn't turn it down.

I knew it was wrong, but the surgery wasn't hard.

I thought I just had to perform it well.

But…

But…

the location of the tumor was unexpected.

This is too dangerous.

The tumor is in an odd location, so if we cut it here,

we might hurt her nerves.

Director Gu Hyunseong left her with us. So you won't do a thing?

Will you take responsibility?

Assistant Director, is the patient awake?

That was shocking. Her tape came off.

What do we do? What if she heard us talk?

She'll think it must've been a dream.

But still…

All right.

We have no choice now. You'll have to do this successfully.

Then everything will be fine.

I'm sorry.

I went into the OR before checking her CT scan.

I saw the danger once I checked the location of her tumor.

Yet I did not stop.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Witness, did you write yourself down

as the surgeon in charge on the surgery record?

No, I couldn't.

Why couldn't you?

The head of the Banseok Legal Team,

Attorney Pyo Eunsil over there gave me an order to stay silent

on the change of surgeons.

This is slander.

The witness is slandering me with his one-sided account.

According to Article 22, Clause 3 of the Medical Service Act,

when medical records are different from facts,

those who are affiliated must be imprisoned for up to three years.

That's all for my questions.

Defense counsel, do you wish to question him?

No.

The accounts of the witnesses completely disagree.

This means at least one side gave a false witness.

This may be a civil case, but perjury is

punished in the same way as a criminal case.

The witness accounts all align

for the staff of the OR other than Choi Yosub's account.

So isn't it obvious to see which side committed perjury?

And the account of Choi Yosub, the sole different one,

aligns perfectly with the victim's statement.

In that case, we have all the reasons to suspect which side is

trying to cover up the truth.

DEFENDANT

We must come to an agreement.

We'll take a break for 30 minutes.

DEFENDANT

Man, what will they do?

Both of you have done very well.

Do you think we can win?

It's a 50-50 chance.

Banseok is also prepared well,

and above all,

the witness accounts completely disagree.

I'm sorry.

No matter what happens, I will gladly be punished.

If you tell me to quit being a doctor,

I will do that.

I mean it.

I am very sorry.

Why are you the only one who's apologizing?

The ones who did worse

are making up lies and acting shamelessly.

Only you took my side today. Why are you this sorry?

Why do you apologize? Why are you bowing your head?

I'm sorry.

I'm… I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Man, that idiot.

I told him to keep quiet, but he just took himself down.

Why are cardiac surgeons always like this?

Our hospital is a mess.

You don't think we'll lose. Do you?

Don't worry. It's not like they have hard evidence.

The court won't accept ghost surgery.

What about awareness during anesthesia? Are you saying they'll accept that?

I put her to sleep and witnessed that there wasn't a problem.

What now? Do I get punished?

You just said it yourself.

In Korea, awareness under anesthesia has never been considered

medical malpractice.

No need to worry and keep your faces straight.

Let's walk in like winners, not losers.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

I will announce the sentence.

In reflection on the account of Choi Yosub, the witness,

it's evident that the plaintiff remembers the conversation

only those who were

in the operating room could know.

Therefore, the medical malpractice

committed against the plaintiff

such as awareness during anesthesia should be acknowledged.

However, there isn't enough evidence to discern

if the medical records were fabricated and if the surgeon was switched,

just as the plaintiff presented.

However, the plaintiff suffered from medical malpractice

during the mediastinal tumor resection and awareness during anesthesia.

The defendant must pay for restoring thyroid cartilage, recovery,

and compensation for her mental distress.

Sentence. The defendant must pay the plaintiff

a total amount of 100 million won.

Isn't this enough for us to say I won by decision?

Lady, don't you know what winning by decision means?

You were destroyed by us. Stop making excuses.

You can feel that way since our malpractice was acknowledged.

But that's not the case for him.

You probably worked hard to get your hands on the witness.

All such trouble for nothing.

I'm not sure.

I don't think the match is over.

You don't think so? What brings you here, Prosecutor Geum?

I came to watch.

As you know, I am greatly interested in Banseok.

And since I came around to watch, I was thinking…

of indicting this case.

My dear junior, you must be oblivious due to your lack of experience.

Even if he's found guilty of switching the surgeon,

he only gets fined up to three million won.

It's not even a fine. Just a penalty.

Your hard work won't even put a scratch on Banseok.

I didn't say I'll indict him over switching the surgeon.

He'll be indicted for attempted murder.

What? Attempted murder?

He opened up his patient's body with a scalpel and left the OR.

Doesn't that mean he left her to die?

Then it's attempted murder.

You psycho.

Do you think that'll work?

Why are you so worked up?

You can admit it and receive a favor just like Park Kitae's case.

Right.

I bet you can't do that this time.

Because this is Director Gu Hyunseong of Banseok?

Don't be so cheeky.

You barged in to arrest an innocent man with a false report

only to get humiliated.

Don't be embarrassed again.

Don't worry.

I'll also indict him for violating the Medical Service Act

and professional negligence resulting in injury.

Those are enough for imprisonment and revocation of his license.

Yes, the trial is over.

Mr. Han works like one of us.

He quietly turned a witness for their side and turned the tables at once.

I knew I chose the right man.

Also, Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong was here.

They're leaving together.

-Should I follow them? -No, just come back.

They haven't spent time alone in a long time.

You shouldn't interrupt them.

You've watched Banseok R and D Center's

activities and achievements up to now.

Now, Ms. Lim Yuna, the new director of Banseok R and D Center,

who will be in charge going forward, will give a speech.

Please give a round of applause.

Thank you for welcoming me.

I'm the new director of Banseok R and D Center,

Lim Yuna.

First, I'd like to thank

and express my respect for Chairman Gu Jingi for developing Banseok

to be the best medical foundation in Korea over the past 20 years.

We're living in a new era.

Now anyone can extend their lives, maintain their health,

and improve their quality of life by using medical devices.

But I'll not be satisfied with that.

Going forward, as the center director, I'll recruit outstanding talents

and make the R and D Center an incubator to lead

future medical technology through proactive exchanges

with both domestic and global institutions.

It's quite good.

-Can you go say hello? -Sure.

Hello. I couldn't make a proper introduction earlier.

She is a CEO of a biopharmaceutical company.

Congratulations. I was worried hearing that the new center director is so young.

What a passionate inauguration speech.

At BioValley in Boston,

startups founded by young CEOs are already recognized

as unicorn companies worth trillions of wons.

If we don't want to fall behind them, we'll need more young talent.

Yes, of course.

I'm very much looking forward to your accomplishments going forward.

I'll be rooting for you.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Let's go that way.

Now, the only thing

that's really left is for us to become one family.

Well, there is no reason to rush, right?

It hasn't even been a month yet since she got back to Korea.

She is our precious daughter. Hope you understand.

Yes, of course. I completely understand.

He's my precious one and only son as well.

-Hello. -Hello, how are you?

Pardon me, Chairman Gu.

Oh, did everything finalize well?

Yes. No, actually…

I need to speak to you separately regarding that.

Attempted murder?

What do you mean, attempted murder? How did such nonsense come about?

I'm sorry, sir.

I've never imagined Prosecutor Geum would side with a guy who killed her brother.

That's why you shouldn't have let it go all the way to trial!

How could you allow one of our doctors to take the witness stand?

You said it wouldn't matter if the victim testified since she was delusional.

But nothing got taken care of properly!

I'm sorry, sir. I'll correct the situation at all costs--

Ms. Pyo!

Get out. I can't stand the sight of you.

Get out!

Han Yihan.

You're causing me trouble in the end.

This way.

NEW-HOPE LAW OFFICE

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A LAWYER

AN INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR GU JINGI OF BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

INAUGURATION OF GU HYUNSEONG AND LEE DOHYUNG AT BANSEOKWON

AGE 15, MEDIASTINAL TUMOR RESECTION AWARENESS UNDER ANESTHESIA

You've been doing all of this alone?

I have people who are helping me.

SEOKJU, VIP'S HEART

CHEON HYUNGU, BAEK KANGHO

PROSECUTOR-IN-CHARGE OF SEOKJU'S CASE

Kangho?

When I was held in custody for Seokju's trial,

Gu Jingi hired a convict to assault me

and threatened to kill my mother

unless I admit to breaching the Medical Service Act.

-What? -If I hadn't admitted that way in court,

I doubt I would've come out of there alive.

Baek Kangho, the prosecutor who charged me,

is working with Gu Jingi.

It's 300 million won in cash. We found it in your room.

Your medical license will be revoked for pocketing the bribe.

If you feel even the slightest remorse for Seokju's death,

admit the medical malpractice charge and ask for forgiveness.

You're not even asking

why my face is all beaten up.

Why are you doing this?

You're not even listening to me.

Why are trying to blame me

for Seokju's death?

Look, Mr. Han Yihan.

Do I look like a lawyer to you?

I'm here to reveal your crime.

Other than the fact that you're a criminal,

it has nothing to do with me if you get hurt,

broken, or killed.

Got that?

No way.

Kangho would never do that. I know so.

If someone who would never do such a thing actually did so,

there must be another reason.

But why?

I don't understand it no matter how hard I think about it.

Why would Gu Jingi go out of his way to put a blame on you

and kill Seokju to take away his heart?

Answer me.

You promised to be honest and tell me everything.

Why? Why in the world did he do that?

Explain so that I can understand and believe it!

I said in court there is a ghost doctor at Banseok University Medical Center, right?

Five years ago,

that was me.

-What? -For many years,

I performed surgeries on numerous patients as a substitute.

In order for Gu Hyunseong to become the next director of the hospital,

he needed performance records of operating on VIP patients.

And as a part of the compensation,

I got to operate on Seokju at Banseokwon.

The night that I performed the heart transplant on Seokju,

a VIP with a concealed identity was rushed over to Banseokwon.

The patient's heart was already removed, so a transplant was needed immediately…

and Gu Jingi brought a heart.

Then, that heart was…

You're right. I was deceived by Gu Jingi…

and transplanted Seokju's heart on the VIP patient.

How could he…

How could he do that…

as a human being?

You're lying, right?

How could a doctor…

I mean, a human being…

A human being shouldn't do such a thing.

It just doesn't make sense!

I am sorry.

Had I known…

Had I stopped the surgery,

Seokju and my mom…

would still be by our sides.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You are wearing the earrings.

I promised to wear them for the inauguration.

And the other side?

The other one?

-What do you mean? -The other earring.

Are you wearing it?

Of course. Who wears one earring?

Then show me the other one.

Can't you do it?

Why are you being scary?

I am sorry. I am so sorry.

I behaved strangely, right?

Yes. Very strangely.

But I will forgive you since today is a good day.

You should cool off. I will change my hairstyle

so that both earrings show.

Okay. Thank you.

That punk. How dare he toy with me?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Why didn't you tell me?

When you got out of the detention center five years ago,

you should have told me the truth.

You wouldn't have believed me then.

Besides, I couldn't give an excuse.

It's true that Seokju died

because of my wrong decision.

I don't ask for forgiveness.

I will also pay my dues once everything is done.

Welcome.

I am sorry that I wasn't at the inauguration.

I didn't want to make the situation messier.

How did Gu Hyunseong react?

You were right.

He asked to see the other one,

so I let him do that.

A prosecutor was here.

A prosecutor? What do you mean?

Gu Hyunseong was here with a prosecutor.

I think he figured out that we were together.

How…

Don't worry.

If you do as I say, nothing will happen.

Actually, he will come to trust you more.

How did you prepare it?

Neither one of us knew that Hyunseong would show up.

How did you prepare the earrings?

I didn't prepare them.

Things simply worked out.

My goodness.

I thought hard about which presents would be meaningful to you,

the woman who has all.

I never imagined such a thing.

I bought the same earrings as the ones Gu Hyunseong gave you.

I didn't want to see you wearing a present from him

when you were with me.

You always exceed my expectations

and amaze me.

Don't take action no matter how he provokes you.

I understand.

Only the two of you can go in.

Okay. Wait at the door.

Yes, sir.

-What are you doing? -Hold on.

We will be done soon.

Michael started the Queen's Gambit.

It's daring and sharp.

It's the gambit that is best suited for the king.

However…

When the gamble fails, you must pay the price.

How should we pay the price?

Restore Han Yihan's medical license.

If you decline, Honours Hand will sue.

The terms of the stock return we agreed upon

will be called off as well.

It's a simple matter, but I am curious about the reason.

Why do you ask for such a thing?

The reason.

Use your imagination

until we meet again.

We can't do as he says! Yihan shouldn't hold the scalpel again!

No need to make a fuss.

What he asked for was unexpected,

but it's a cheap price to pay.

-But-- -Don't worry.

Han Yihan will never become a doctor

again.

Why did you do that?

You could have asked for something bigger

after a performance like this.

The piece that determines the game is the king.

But why is the queen stronger?

Because the king needs someone to fight for him.

Let me get this straight. That lawyer guy

will be your queen?

No.

Yuna is the queen.

My lovely partner who will support me by my side.

Han Yihan is my knight.

And a curveball you don't know where it will go.

Doesn't this look fun?

The man Chairman Gu Jingi feels the most threatened by

will be my black knight.

Prosecutor Geum.

Nam Hyukchul is waiting in the interrogation room.

Oh, right. Yes.

Let's go.

Lawyer Han Yihan.

If you want to talk to me, bring him to me.

Why do you want a lawyer all of a sudden?

You said you killed him because you didn't want to go down alone.

I thought I did.

But I changed my mind.

The murder case six years ago.

I'll file an appeal.

File an appeal?

But why do you want Han Yihan?

I may be locked up, but I still have ears.

He won the trial against Banseok.

I can only trust competent lawyers like him.

What? This isn't bad news to you either.

Once my appeal goes through,

you will get to hear all the dirty laundry Banseok is hiding.

I don't think I can do that.

You're a death-row convict who killed two doctors from Banseok.

Why would I bring in a lawyer who used to be a doctor at Banseok?

What if he becomes the third victim?

Who will take responsibility?

I won't kill him!

I want to put an end to this sickening prison life I have.

You can talk all you want, but you're not getting him.

So tell me if there's any truth you've been holding back.

Or you can get a public defender.

What are you doing?

You're crazy.

-Get me Han Yihan! -Hey, get your hands off her!

Or I'll kill you too!

I'll kill you and myself next. Okay?

Go ahead if you can.

Get your hands off her!

-Darn it. -Prosecutor Geum.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Call an ambulance first.

And keep an eye on him, so he doesn't try anything stupid thing.

-Yes, ma'am. -Darn it.

I…

Are you okay? You should go to the hospital.

I'm good. This is nothing.

That crazy punk. He wants to appeal now?

So he wanted Han Yihan?

Yes. He said he wouldn't talk without Han Yihan.

We have no choice. Give him what he wants.

Han Yihan will decide if he wants the case or not.

He needs a lawyer anyway.

What? Is it uncomfortable to talk to him?

No.

I'll talk to him.

Jayden Lee.

He was the first Korean American to become

the head of the Asian branch at Honours Hand five years ago.

When Banseok Foundation acquired a hospital in California

and set up the R and D Center,

Honours Hand invested 300 billion won.

Three hundred billion? How do they have that much money?

The company manages enough funds that could run an entire country.

He invests aggressively. His mergers and acquisitions are hostile.

He does whatever it takes to lobby his cause.

He's known as a notorious lobbyist in the industry.

It's the biggest private equity firm in the world.

No way.

Yihan, we should ask a lot for our fee.

How about 100 million won? No. A billion won?

No. I won't ask for money.

What? Why not?

He promised to restore my medical license

and provide us with medical equipment.

He will give us what I need the most.

-Restore your license? -But how is that possible?

Gu Jingi of all people is stopping it.

We'll see.

We also need to check how competent they are.

If he can't get that from Gu Jingi, we don't need to work with him.

Gosh.

Lim Yuna.

She's the only child of Im Taemoon, the former ambassador to the US

who will run for president next.

She's gorgeous.

Her mother is Kim Sunhee. She's currently a diplomat.

She chairs the UN Human Rights Council and is an ambassador to Geneva.

Lim Yuna majored in medical engineering at Johns Hopkins University.

And last year, she worked as the youngest senior researcher

at a global biotech company at BioValley in Boston.

She was recently scouted as the director of Banseok R and D Center.

As the director? Isn't she too young for that position?

She can if she plans to marry his son.

She's dating Gu Hyunseong with marriage in the future.

I guess some people already know.

Rumor has it that they will announce their engagement soon.

But this lady is seeing Jayden too?

What is this? The fiancée of Bankseok's heir

is having a secret affair with Banseok's business partner?

Gosh. This is a crazy soap opera in action.

What? Hey.

We need to meet now.

I need to talk to you about Nam Hyukchul.

I'll go to your office.

I'm not alone here.

Then come to my house.

-Your house? -Yes.

Hurry. It's important.

Okay.

Is it Seokyeong?

Yes.

She needs to talk to me about Nam Hyukchul.

I'll be back.

Seokyeong.

Ta-da!

You startled me.

Here.

What? Are they for me?

Thank you.

I'll make a wish.

Let's blow them out together. One, two, three.

-Thank you. -Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

What are you doing?

Come in. It's fine.

Okay.

Do you want coffee? I have tea too.

I'm fine with anything. I'll have what you're having.

I took it out yesterday.

I had a lot on my mind after hearing about Seokju.

I found it when I was going through my stuff.

Nam Hyukchul asked to hire you as his lawyer.

He wants to appeal against the sentence of the murder case from six years ago.

-Appeal? -Yes.

He said he wouldn't hire anyone else.

He said it had to be you.

He bit up his hand and created a scene by harming himself.

Well, I'm suspicious of his intention.

But I thought I should tell you at least.

Could this be a trap?

Even if it's a trap, I can't avoid it.

Don't worry. I won't jump in recklessly.

Even a murderer

must cherish his family.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS

-Is this a photoshoot? -Pardon?

Why are you trying to look pretty? It's not a photoshoot.

Since it's a dummy, not a real patient, you think you can just pretend to do it?

-I'll deduct a point. -Wait.

And what kind of nurse would stop compression while performing CPR?

I'll deduct three points.

Wait, Professor! I can keep going.

What's the point?

The patient already has a cardiac arrest.

To recover your points,

you should have used a defibrillator instead of continuing with CPR.

-Professor, I have a question. -Okay.

When the patient has a cardiac arrest,

if you compress harder, wouldn't the heart start beating again?

You must watch a lot of TV shows.

What? Should we punch the heart with our fist next?

Like this. Like some cool doctor?

It's not impossible.

Shocking the heart is also a part of Advanced Life Support.

Then have you done it yourself too?

Several times.

In the field, it's very common

to break the patient's ribs during CPR.

Sometimes, you can feel their hearts with your fingertips.

But despite that, if you fail to save the patient,

you will feel hopeless.

And you'll never get used to it no matter how many times you feel it.

This process may traumatize some of you here.

But remember that we're medical professionals.

If there's even a one-percent chance that their hearts can beat again,

we never give up on our patients.

Who is it? We're in the middle of our lecture.

Turn off your cell phone.

You…

Let me ask you a question too.

Have you ever done a surgery

where you implant a heart that was implanted in someone else?

You must know better than anyone

that it's not possible.

We did it together five years ago with Seokju's heart.

Should we continue here? It's fine by me.

APPOINTMENT CEREMONY IN NURSING DEPARTMENT BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

Should I congratulate you?

You became a professor after becoming the head of the nursing department.

You achieved everything you could as a nurse

as a reward for killing a patient.

You killed him.

You're a criminal who lost your license for violating the Medical Service Act.

How dare you come here?

Don't come near me.

Stop. I said stop!

Couples become more alike. You act just like your husband.

-What? -I'm sure you know

your ex-husband, Nam Hyukchul,

killed Park Kitae on Gu Jingi's order.

I know nothing about this.

I already ended things with my husband.

I never knew anything about it, and I still don't.

-I don't know anything! -Nam Junhwan.

A 19-year-old boy.

He had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at the age of 11.

He was treated by an internist with medication at Banseok for years.

Gu Jingi gave him

expensive new drugs that weren't covered by the insurance for free.

So his symptoms improved without any transplant surgery.

And I looked into the new drugs.

Patients show great improvement in the beginning.

But once they develop tolerance, when they relapse, the symptoms get worse.

Your son who had to be readmitted to the VIP room

makes a good example.

So what? Are you here to gloat?

That I deserved it?

No. You will have to face the consequence of killing Seokju.

Not your innocent son.

Then what do you want from me?

I'm interviewing Nam Hyukchul tomorrow

at the Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Persuade him to tell the truth.

Then I will

save your son.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

It's been a while, Mr. Han.

If you're my lawyer, shouldn't you sit next to me?

I'm not your lawyer yet.

You haven't signed any contract yet.

You're hurting my feelings.

I was going to share some stories with you.

Do prosecutors attend the meetings with my lawyer?

This breaks the confidentiality clause.

-I want you to leave us in private. -I'm not falling for that.

Why would I leave you alone with him?

Did you forget this crazy stunt you pulled on me?

Suit yourself.

I'm demanding my rights as the defendant.

With you here,

I won't tell you anything.

It's fine.

Leave us in private.

-But-- -He said it's fine. Okay?

Do you think I'd kill him like this?

Be careful. I'll be right outside.

Now, talk.

What do you want to say to me about the case from six years ago?

Sorry.

I didn't want to do this to you.

What?

VIDEO RECORDING ROOM

Nam Junhwan.

If you stab me now, your son will die too.

How did you…

Nam Hyukchul.

Drop your weapon.

Answer me. How did you know about my son?

How could I not?

He's the only child between you and your wife.

Three years.

That's how long it took for Seokju to find a donor.

Do you think your son could wait that long?

I can save

Nam Junhwan.

Nam Hyukchul.

Three years?

-He doesn't have that much time. -Nam Hyukchul!

That's why

-I have to kill you! -Nam Hyukchul!

Do you think Nam Hyukchul will do what we want?

We should hope so.

The man I want to spend the rest of my life with

isn't the Director of Planning and Coordination.

Are you asking me to become the chairman of the foundation?

I'm asking you to surpass that position.

Surpass even your father.

I found something interesting.

Where did you find this?

I didn't expect much. But I hit the jackpot.

Then does it mean this person took Seokju's heart?

You and the deputy chairman will meet again at last.

I'm getting excited for you.

It's your turn to empty it out.

I knew it. I can never predict his moves.
