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

You were the VIP patient

at Banseokwon.

You have Seokju's heart,

don't you?

You have a wild imagination.

But do you have evidence

to back that up?

I went back to square one and thought it over again.

Who could the VIP patient be

that Gu Jingi would be willing to kill a boy to get that patient a heart?

Who could it be if it wasn't Lim Taemoon or Yoon Miseon?

You and Gu Jingi have become enemies now. But five years ago,

you were his biggest investor.

Jayden.

It would make sense if you were the patient.

My dad got him a heart?

-What nonsense is that? -I'm not sure about that.

If I got the heart from him in exchange for investing in his hospital,

would we have become enemies just like now?

That would mean that we shared a secret

that should never get out.

Right.

That's why I thought you would never be the VIP patient.

But that was the trap.

What? Is your pulse rising?

Those who have suffered from heart diseases for a long time

have a habit of frequently checking their pulse.

Since they can have an irregular heartbeat at any time,

they're always anxious.

Let's say I got a heart transplant.

Then is there evidence that shows

I got Geum Seokju's heart?

Michael told me

when you were in Korea five years ago to invest in Banseok Foundation,

you were in a car accident and received emergency surgery.

On November 21st, 2016.

The night I performed a heart transplant on the VIP patient

at Banseokwon.

I looked into every single patient who had surgeries that day at Banseokwon.

But…

I couldn't find any car accident victims. Then there's only one answer.

The patient was operated on by me, a ghost doctor.

So there was no record of this patient.

The patient was you, Jayden.

If you want to ask for forgiveness, this is the only chance you have.

-Forgiveness? -Yes.

If there's an ounce of remorse

for the owner of the heart that's beating inside your chest,

you should ask Prosecutor Geum's forgiveness.

And reveal the truth in court.

See?

You're still so arrogant.

I'm about to be your enemy, but you are giving me a chance to be forgiven?

Sorry to break it to you,

but I don't want any forgiveness.

If you think I took Geum Seokju's heart,

find the evidence

and make me stand trial.

Okay.

That's what I'll do then.

If you had a conscience,

you wouldn't have mocked us by pretending to be clueless

or helping us find my brother's heart when you knew all along…

that we were looking for you.

Unless you have a warrant,

please leave.

I've got nothing more to say to you.

You think Jayden received an illegally-harvested organ?

EPISODE 15

I haven't found out yet what happened in detail.

But that's what Mr. Han and Prosecutor Geum believe.

If that's what really happened,

it's a chance for us

-to turn the table around in one go. -I see.

I'M DONE, LET'S MEET NOW

I'll look into this more.

The accusation Han Yihan made.

-Is it true? -If it's true,

will you criticize me too?

No. I can understand that.

People do anything to survive.

And the heart you got happened to belong to Prosecutor Geum's brother.

You and that prosecutor were both unlucky.

"Unlucky"?

Are you all right? You took the drugs a while ago.

I'm fine. It was just a health supplement that only looked like the drugs.

What?

Why would you pull a prank on me?

I wanted to check if you were going to take it.

Too bad.

If Gu Hyunseong didn't show up,

I wonder if you would have taken the drugs I gave you.

Those despicable cheaters.

How dare they fool me?

To be honest, I felt guilty about what I did to you.

But after seeing everything, I think I made the right decision.

If Jayden didn't steal you from me,

I wouldn't have done this.

Steal me?

You're still talking like that.

Am I an object? Something people can steal or lose?

Don't fool yourself.

I had never loved you or considered you romantically

even for a moment.

So Jayden didn't steal me from you

because you never had me, to begin with.

Now that you know everything, I don't want to see you ever again.

I must figure it out.

What…

What I can do now.

You want me to tell you everything I know?

Then you two must help me

and Susie Yoon with our plan.

We'll decide after you tell us everything.

Explain the relationship between Jayden and Gu Jingi in detail.

Start from when Honours Hand planned to invest in Banseok five years ago.

To be honest, Honours Hand

was skeptical about investing in Banseok Foundation.

Forget about privatizing the health care sector in Korea.

Setting up a for-profit hospital is difficult.

So investing a hefty sum of 300 billion won in a medical foundation

was just too risky.

Jayden pushed for it.

He said he would negotiate with Gu Jingi.

-Nice to meet you. I'm Gu Jingi. -Nice to meet you.

She's from our legal team. This is Ms. Pyo Eunsil.

Compared to our investment which is 300 billion won,

your collateral isn't much.

On top of that, you will pay back half of our investment with the stocks

of the R and D Center you just founded.

We cannot agree to these terms.

The bio-related businesses in Korea will grow drastically in several years.

And the stocks of the R and D Center will skyrocket beyond measure.

-And as for the collateral-- -We should

discuss that in private.

I did get the feeling that Jayden and Gu Jingi

might have worked out a deal under the table.

They often had private meetings without me and Ms. Pyo

with just the two of them.

And three days before the accident,

Jayden said he would stay at Banseokwon.

And when I rushed over after hearing the news about his car accident,

he was lying in the VIP room, unconscious.

NEW-HOPE LAW OFFICE

You should look into Jayden's car accident.

To undergo heart transplant surgery,

patients must be prepped for two days.

But if he left Banseokwon before the surgery and got into an accident,

there must be a reason for it.

Okay. I'll ask the police to cooperate and look into this.

We should do everything we can.

I'll get going.

What's wrong? Are you all right?

Yes.

Bye.

NEW-HOPE LAW OFFICE NEW-HOPE MEDICINE CLINIC

NEW-HOPE LAW OFFICE

PROSECUTION SERVICE

Look into car accidents that took place between 5 p.m. on November 20th, 2016,

and 8 a.m. the next day in downtown Seoul.

It involved injuries. So there must be records.

I'll ask the police to cooperate.

What about Cheon Hyungu? Any progress?

No. This rat is determined not to get caught.

He's not using his cell phone or cards.

So the police have no idea where he is now.

We must find him before Gu Jingi's trial.

He took care of Gu Jingi's dirty laundry by his side.

I'm sure he has evidence with him.

Okay. I'll look into his family and his acquaintances.

Chief Secretary Cheon Hyungu.

He served in special forces at the intelligence command.

He was in special forces. No wonder. He had that intense aura.

He served for about five years.

He was injured on a mission and was discharged.

He received surgery at Banseok University Medical Center

and went through physical therapy for over a year.

-His family? -Even when he was on active duty,

he rarely communicated with his family.

And he didn't seem to have any close friends either.

But here's the problem. The special forces he was in specialized

in counterterrorism operations and infiltration to the enemy line.

It means everyone in the unit is a master of hiding.

If he wants, he can go

a year or ten without getting caught. So it won't be easy.

NOTICE OF CONFIRMATION FOR A VETERAN IN SPECIAL FORCES

Call Mr. Cheon.

I can't reach him since his disappearance on the day of your hearing.

That's expected.

I told him not to meet or contact anyone.

Then how can I reach him?

When you go to the head office of Hanjin Bank,

there's a VIP safe under my name.

You'll find a cell phone there. Call the number saved on the phone.

He will answer it.

Yes, sir. What should I tell him?

Ms. Pyo?

Yes. I'm here on behalf of Chairman Gu.

INSERT THE PASSCODE

PLACE YOUR HAND ON IT

SUCCESSFULLY VERIFIED YOU MAY ENTER NOW

-Take your time. -Thanks.

CONTACTS

PHONE

This is Cheon Hyungu.

It's me. Pyo Eunsil, Head of the Legal Team.

I have a message from the chairman.

Go ahead.

The former ambassador, Lim Taemoon, suddenly stopped the press conference.

He spoke in English and asked if he was in the US.

And he yelled at the reporters to stop taking his pictures.

-His acquaintances shared -Stop taking photos of me!

that he had been showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Are you all right?

I knew this would happen. But it still doesn't feel good.

That's understandable.

He's your father.

What about your parents? What are they like?

Come to think of it, you never told me about your family.

Tell me. I want to know everything there is to know about you.

It's not that I kept it from you.

I had nothing to talk about.

Both of them passed away.

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Don't make that face. I'm really fine.

They passed away when I was very young. So I can't even remember their faces.

Besides, you are by my side now just like my family.

Mom, we're really going home. Right?

Of course.

Gosh. I love it.

Can you make rolled omelets at home? I want to eat your food.

I'll cook everything you want.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Get in. -Be careful.

We just left the hospital.

How is he feeling?

He's good.

He can't run, but he has no problem with his day-to-day activities.

I'll head over after I stop by home first.

Thank you so much

for waiting until his discharge.

I'm glad to hear that. I'll see you soon.

KEEP QUIET

KOREA CORRECTIONAL SERVICE

Thanks for coming.

No problem.

I really wanted to see you

dressed…

in a prison uniform.

The thing is,

if I start talking about that night,

you'll be wearing the same outfit.

I haven't told anyone that you were the VIP patient who received

Geum Seokju's heart five years ago.

You, Mr. Cheon, and I are the only three people who know the truth.

Han Yihan and Geum Seokyeong

already know.

Even so. I bet it's only speculation.

They can't arrest someone based on speculation without any evidence.

As long as I keep my mouth shut, there won't be any evidence

or witnesses in the world.

You'll keep your mouth shut for good?

Of course, you must want something in return.

Take only the R and D Center.

And back off from Banseok University Medical Center.

Your investment would have multiplied with just the R and D Center.

Besides, it will be very difficult for a foreign company

to operate a university medical center like Banseok as a for-profit business.

You'll face various restrictions.

And the press will push back hard too.

If you reveal what happened that night,

you and Banseok

will suffer a huge blow.

That's why I've been keeping quiet so far.

But now, I'd rather destroy everything instead of letting you

take everything from me.

You're already the winner of our war.

So…

don't make me use

the last card I have left.

Mom, I said I could carry that.

-No, give me that. I'll carry it. -Let's carry it together then.

My goodness.

I'm going to step out for a second.

Get some rest in your room.

I'll make you a delicious dinner once I come back. Okay?

Okay.

-Mom. -What is it, my son?

You should've listened when we were being nice.

No. Junhwan…

Let him go. You can talk to me instead.

Sorry. No can do.

The chairman doesn't want any loose ends.

Junhwan!

Junhwan.

Junhwan…

Please spare my son. Please.

Go ahead and use the last card

if you can.

Bluffing doesn't work on me.

When it comes to gambling, I am more experienced than you are.

Do you think there is anything I can't do in this situation?

Everyone has a card he can't use

even though it's in his hand.

To you,

those are Banseok

and your family.

What will happen if Gu Hyunseong finds out that you are a murderer

who opened a 19-year-old boy's chest

and took out his heart?

He is already crazy enough to swing a golf club at my penthouse.

Once he finds out that everything started

because his respectable father got a heart for the person he hates the most,

he won't be able to bear it.

-Not picking up? -The person you reached is not available…

No. She was supposed to be here a while ago.

Maybe she betrayed us again.

I have a bad feeling.

I must go to her house.

Why?

Why are you doing this?

I got you the best heart. Thanks to me,

you became a healthy man.

-Why are you doing this to me? -Gosh.

You are unbelievable.

You are despicable to the end.

Do you still think I don't know

what you did to me that night?

Why…

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

do you suddenly want to postpone the surgery to tomorrow?

I apologize. There is someone I need to meet.

Once I get a transplant, I will need to stay here for a month.

It's a difficult surgery, so anything can happen.

I must meet this person now.

Wait. Hold on.

Heart transplantation isn't a surgery you can postpone easily.

The heart might go to the next person on the waitlist.

If that happens,

it can't be helped.

I apologize.

How about the investment?

Let's talk tomorrow.

It's too dangerous.

Dangerous?

What do you mean?

You took various injections to prepare for the surgery.

It could be dangerous to go out.

Banseok will take care of you.

No. Today,

I will move on my own.

In that case, I will prescribe a counteragent.

Please wait here for a second.

No matter how important the meeting is, safety comes first.

Understood. Thank you.

Don't mention it.

At first, I doubted it.

So that I could get transplantation that day,

you caused the accident.

A doctor is someone who saves lives, so I never imagined

such a thing.

So I ran various investigations after I got discharged.

The boy who received the heart transplantation on the same day

died the next day.

The doctor who operated on him

got arrested by the prosecution

and had his medical license revoked.

You are saying I induced a heart attack so that you would get into an accident.

Had you died in the process,

the investment would have been off.

Why would I do such a thing?

That's right. The grounds are weak.

So I invested in Banseok and watched for years.

But the doctor who had operated on the boy that day

became a lawyer who specializes in medical lawsuits

and pointed his knife at you and Banseok.

It piqued my interest, so I approached him.

There were many secrets I didn't know.

The medical malpractice five years ago.

-Give me 200 joules. -He just--

Give me 200 joules! Charge.

CONDOLENCES PUBLIC PROSECUTOR GENERAL

I plead guilty to the charge.

Gu Hyunseong's ghost doctor.

Park Kitae's death.

And the hidden secrets of those who took part

in the surgery, Cho Junghyun and Lee Dohyung.

I learned everything once I began to help Han Yihan.

The broken puzzle pieces came together.

That day,

you caused an accident so that I must get a heart transplant.

Then you took out Geum Seokju's heart and ended his life.

Through a ghost doctor, Han Yihan, that heart

entered my chest.

Han Yihan wants to punish you with legal means,

but I am different.

I will take away the things that are the dearest to you.

That night,

you did the same to me.

-Do you need more time? -It's almost done.

Please go on in.

Junhwan!

It's okay. He just lost consciousness.

Look for Cho Junghyun.

-Prepare to move him to a hospital. -Okay.

-Is she missing? -Yes.

Chairman Gu, how did the talk go?

At the trial, I will deny…

all allegations.

Pardon?

I thought Jayden would back off once I pled guilty,

but I can't negotiate with him.

Now,

Banseok and family are all I have.

I must stop him before he destroys them.

NEW MESSAGES

TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE

It won't be easy.

The fact you already pled guilty will put you at a disadvantage.

It won't be easy.

That's why I need you.

We went through a lot together.

Ms. Pyo, please don't give up

on me and Banseok.

Yes, sir.

Chairman Gu, Mr. Cheon sent this.

I guess my luck

hasn't run out yet.

To find Cho Junghyun,

I checked all the security cameras, but she disappeared without a trace.

The police think there is a possibility it isn't a kidnapping case.

They say she could have gone into hiding

due to the emotional stress of testifying at Gu Jingi's trial.

That can't be the case.

She wouldn't disappear

and leave Junhwan alone.

Then…

It must be Mr. Cheon.

She is the only witness who knows what happened that day.

If that's the case, it's dangerous.

Even for someone who was in the special forces,

it would be hard to avoid the police while traveling with a hostage.

Maybe Cho Junghyun…

I want to go to the Philippines or Thailand.

He wants to go to the Philippines or Thailand.

Four million won for Manila, five million for Bangkok.

Can I go to Manila tomorrow?

Can he go to Manila tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Then the money is far from enough.

It's possible, but you need to pay more if you want to leave tomorrow.

Tell him that I will give him more.

It doesn't matter how much it is. The sooner the better.

If the money doesn't matter, I'll make it happen no matter what.

It's me, Head of the Legal Team, Pyo Eunsil.

How did it go?

I did as Chairman Gu ordered.

I will take care of her today and leave the country tomorrow night.

No. Don't leave the country.

Take care of Cho Junghyun and turn yourself into the police.

It's Chairman Gu's order.

Turn myself in?

Chairman Gu admitted to killing Lee Dohyung

and ordering Nam Hyukchul to murder.

So even if you turn yourself in,

you will only be punished for dumping a dead body.

Although Chairman Gu pled guilty,

you need to get caught

in order for the police to close the investigation.

You know that we will be at a disadvantage if the investigation drags on.

Before you turn yourself in, hand over the phone to the Security Team.

It will be a hassle if the police get their hands on it.

I will destroy it myself.

I need a way to contact you until the very end.

Don't worry.

Chairman Gu will take the fall for all the crimes.

That's the only way he can save Banseok.

Understood.

Thank you. I will keep in touch.

I think she tried to avoid the cameras.

Look.

She is…

from New-Hope Law Office.

She left after 30 minutes.

Then she came back after an hour and retrieved the camera.

Look at that.

We have a chance.

Prosecutor Geum.

These are the materials on car accidents.

It looks like there have been a lot of car accidents.

Thank you. I will check them later.

You are going to Gu Jingi's preliminary hearing, right?

Don't get worked up today.

We don't want you to collapse again.

Okay.

-She will be okay, right? -I don't know.

The hearing begins now.

The prosecution, give us a statement of the indictment.

Yes, Your Honor.

COUNSEL, DEFENDANT

On February 14th, 2022, the defendant ordered a death-row inmate, Nam Hyukchul,

to murder a victim, Park Kitae, at Seoul Northern Detention Center.

On March 23rd, 2022, he murdered a victim, Lee Dohyung,

by stabbing him in the neck in the parking lot of Banseokwon.

By criminal law, Article 250, Section One,

Article 31, Section One, Article 37, and Article 38,

I indict him for abetment and murder.

Counsel, give us your claim.

The defendant denies the charges.

He didn't abet Nam Hyukchul for murder.

As for Lee Dohyung, we claim it to be an accidental injury.

PROSECUTION

The victim, Lee Dohyung, passed away. Why do you claim it to be an injury?

The defendant did cause an injury to the victim's neck,

but it isn't the cause of his death.

The defendant didn't cause a serious injury that could lead to death.

We claim the victim's death was caused by an external factor.

Understood.

Prosecution, apply for evidence.

Yes, Your Honor.

COUNSEL, DEFENDANT

Counsel, what's your opinion

on the evidence?

We disagree with item five, the police report,

and item 12, Han Yihan's testimony.

Item ten, police interrogation report,

and item 20, prosecution interrogation report.

We deny them all.

Prosecution, request for witnesses.

Yes, Your Honor. We request Han Yihan who gave his testimony for item 12.

Okay. Does the counsel have evidence as well?

Yes, Your Honor. We submit

the security camera footage of Banseokwon's parking lot that day.

We also request Banseokwon's employee from the footage, Cho Darom, as a witness.

They want me as a witness?

Interesting.

Will you be okay?

Of course, I will be okay.

Do you think I will be as slow-witted as this bear?

Stop digging up my dark past.

He admitted all allegations.

Why did he deny them on the day of the hearing?

He thinks he can win the trial

because the witness and accomplice disappeared.

We must find them.

If Mr. Cheon kills Cho Junghyun,

there won't be anyone who witnessed what happened five years ago.

There is

one more person.

Is it my turn?

Were you preparing to leave the country?

Yes. Honours Hand took over Banseok Foundation's board.

Chairman Gu got arrested for murder,

so my work here is done.

I am sorry. I couldn't have guessed

that Chairman Gu had taken out a patient's heart.

Is that really the case?

You are an experienced pathologist,

so you must have known that the heart you examined didn't match

the patient's records.

Your sin

is no smaller than Lee Dohyung or Cho Junghyun's.

The autopsy report you fabricated

buried the truth about Gu Jingi stealing the heart.

If you have any conscience left,

stop thinking about running away and reveal the truth.

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER TO RESPECT HUMAN DIGNITY

Mr. Gu Jingi, you have a request for a meeting.

Who is it?

He is Mr. Han Yihan.

Would you meet him?

Mr. Gu Jingi refused a meeting.

Did you give him my name?

Yes. He asked me to send you away because he doesn't want to see you.

Jayden, that crazy punk!

He is trying to swallow Banseok whole!

We must stop him.

There can't be Banseok without Cardiothoracic Surgery.

It won't be easy to turn it into a for-profit hospital.

But if the stock price continues to drop,

it will be impossible to pay back Honours Hand

using your shares and assets.

Then you will have to issue convertible bonds.

Then you will lose Banseokwon and Banseok University Medical Center.

That's why we need to think of a way to stop them!

Until when will we sit still and let them have their way?

Who is it? I told people not to come today.

Han Yihan?

What are you scheming?

Don't say anything stupid to my mother.

I'm here to help you, so move.

It's been a while.

You too, Yoonjung?

I don't need you to greet me, so cut to the chase.

I don't wish to talk to you.

I'm here to save you.

-What? -From Jayden and Honours Hand.

How?

At this rate, you'll lose all of Banseok.

I'll stop that.

-How will you stop that? -Hold on.

Let's hear him out.

Okay. Tell me.

How will you save us?

Before I tell you, I have a question.

-What is it? -How much do you know

about your husband, Gu Jingi?

What do you mean?

What will you do if your husband, Gu Jingi, killed

Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong's brother,

took out his heart, and used it to do an illegal heart transplant?

What?

Was your trip here okay, Boss?

I'm not your boss yet.

I need to talk to Han Yihan and hear from him first.

To see if what you said is true.

GU JINGI

I'm sorry!

Oh, dear.

Gu Jingi has fallen.

It's okay. We're going to throw it out anyway.

Don't worry about it, and get rid of everything.

I'm going to change it to my preference.

Why would we change it to your preference?

Did you forget that we agreed to hand over the chairman position every two years?

Then you can redecorate in two years.

I'm going to be using this office, so I'll do what I want.

Oh, my. Thank you for taking the time to come here.

What are you doing?

I'm going to become the chairman of Banseok Foundation soon.

That's why I'm cleaning it out in advance.

Come to think of it, I forgot to tell you.

About what?

As Banseok Foundation is being reborn,

I intend to leave it to a young and competent management specialist.

I'll reorganize the board of directors with outsiders.

-What? -This isn't what we agreed to.

You said we'd be chairmen.

I'm sorry. I was planning on doing that initially,

but as I watched you, I realized

you're incompetent and greedy.

You're the worst people

to lead an organization.

What? You punk.

That's enough. I won't warn you again.

Don't worry.

I'll fulfill your greed.

I will give you the dividend I promised every year.

I know money is more important

than running Banseok for you.

We will start the trial.

PROSECUTION

I'm here with some coffee!

Soohee, I got you three shots of espresso. Here you go.

Yihan, I got you a cold brew latte. Here.

-Thank you. -No problem.

I'm done writing the article.

After the trial, dozens of articles about Gu Jingi

and Jayden's illegal organ harvesting suspicions

will be plastered all over the portal sites in Korea.

I knew it. You're so competent.

You are as good at your job as you are beautiful.

What is that? Who is it?

LAWYER HAN YIHAN

This is Chief Director Susie Yoon.

Susie, this is Lawyer Han Yihan.

You're Han Yihan?

I heard about you.

You played a decisive role

in bringing down Banseok with Jayden.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the Chief Director of Honours Hand headquarters, Susie Yoon.

Nice to meet you. I'm Lawyer Han Yihan.

On March 23rd, 2022, at around 10 a.m.,

the day of the hearing for the Minister of Health and Welfare,

you met with the victim who was to testify as a witness…

at your hearing.

-I didn't think-- -This is nothing.

Let go!

Sir!

-Let go! -Oh, my.

As you can see, the defendant

clearly aimed for the victim's vital point

as he swung a weapon at him.

Furthermore, the location in which the victim was attacked

was the hospital that the defendant was in charge of,

but he didn't take any action to save him.

Therefore, it is clear that he had intentions to kill him.

COUNSEL

Counsel, do you have anything to say?

Yes, Your Honor.

The victim was a colleague of the victim

who has worked together on numerous surgeries.

So why would he attack that kind of person

on the most important day of his life?

The fountain pen that the defendant used to stab the victim

had a micro camera hidden within it.

When the defendant found out, he lost his temper in the moment

and took the pen from him.

When the victim tried to take the pen back from him, he was flustered,

so he accidentally swung his arm to hold onto it.

Even if stabbing the victim in the neck was accidental,

the fact that the defendant didn't do anything to save his life is a fact.

That's true. It is unfortunate.

But at that moment,

the defendant was consumed with the realization

that his colleague had betrayed him.

He also had a hearing an hour later.

In this situation,

how many people could calmly give orders

for medical assistance?

Could you do that, Prosecutor?

She's deviating from the essence of the case.

Please rephrase this.

Sustained.

Counsel, please give your argument based on the facts.

I will practice caution.

Then from this point forward, I will speak about the truth.

Is the person who murdered the victim

really the defendant sitting here?

The victim didn't die

on the spot in the parking lot.

The person who ended his life…

was this man, Chief Secretary Cheon Hyungu.

Mr. Cheon. Good work.

-Why did you bring these guys? -You don't need to worry.

I brought them just in case.

Before that, give me your phone first.

Wait.

I'm going to give Chairman Gu my last report

and destroy it myself.

No. We will take it and destroy it.

Hand it over.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sir!

What are you doing? Get him!

Counsel. Please start your questioning.

Witness. On March 23rd, 2022 at around 9 a.m.,

you installed a camera and an audio recording device in your car

and filmed the footage of the victim meeting the defendant. Right?

-Yes. -Did someone order you to film the video?

-Yes. -Who is it?

Be specific.

PROSECUTION

WITNESS

It was Han Yihan.

"Han Yihan?"

Are you talking about the lawyer Han Yihan from New-Hope Law Office?

Yes.

Was he also the person who gave you orders to post it

onto a streaming site?

-Yes. -Then that means

you filmed the victim meeting with the defendant

with the purpose of posting it onto a streaming site.

Without the consent of the person involved.

Assistant Director Lee Dohyung gave his consent.

It was with the purpose of public interest.

Please answer with yes or no.

I believe I don't need to answer like that.

It is what I said. Take what you want from that.

Your Honor. The victim and Han Yihan

colluded to film the defendant

and they induced him to say the answer that they wanted.

Please keep this in mind. That is all.

Prosecution, please start your cross-examination.

Yes, Your Honor.

DEFENDANT

Witness, do you know why Han Yihan ordered you to film the video?

Yes.

He wanted to reveal the truth

about the illegal organ harvesting

that the defendant had done five years ago at Banseokwon.

Your Honor. This is unrelated to the case.

Please strike this from the record.

No. In the video, the victim

asked the defendant which patient received the heart transplant,

and after he did, he was murdered.

It's an important question to reveal the defendant's motive for murder.

I agree. Please continue.

Thank you.

Please continue.

He said it was a critical opportunity to reveal who received the heart

that was removed from the patient, Geum Seokju,

after he was killed five years ago.

DEFENDANT

Your Honor.

In order to verify if the defendant's counsel and witness are telling the truth,

I would like permission to question the defendant.

Okay. We'll adjourn for 20 minutes,

Counsel, please prepare the defendant for questioning.

Yes, Your Honor.

All rise.

DEFENDANT

The court is now in session.

In your previous investigation with me,

you admitted to the murder and abetting in murder. Is that correct?

But why are you taking back what you said during this trial?

When I was being investigated, I was in a state of shock.

And I didn't have the help of a proper lawyer.

I was going to take full responsibility for Banseok,

but I thought that hiding the truth

wasn't the best thing I could do.

You were also very coercive

as you accused me.

Okay, fine.

Then in this court, where you aren't being coerced, can we believe

everything you say to be true?

-Of course. -Then let me ask you this.

Your counsel claims that it was Cheon Hyungu, not you,

who killed the victim. Is this true?

COUNSEL, DEFENDANT

I don't know anything about that.

I asked Mr. Cheon to take care of things after I left

and went to the hearing.

I didn't hear nor see what he did

to Assistant Director Lee Dohyung.

Then that means the victim could've died

because of your attack and not Cheon Hyungu. Is that correct?

Your Honor.

This is a leading question that assumes unfavorable situations for the defendant.

Sustained.

Prosecution. Please avoid leading questions.

I will practice caution.

Then I'll ask a question that the defendant can definitely answer.

WITNESS

Did you ever abet Nam Hyukchul

to commit murder through Cheon Hyungu?

Please answer. Did you abet in murder?

WITNESS

I did not.

I never abetted anyone in committing murder.

If Nam Hyukchul received orders to commit murder,

they were orders given by Cheon Hyungu on his own.

GU JINGI'S COUNSEL DENIES MURDER ALLEGATIONS

HIS COUNSEL CLAIMS IT WAS ACCIDENTAL INJURY

So he wants to take this all the way?

So you didn't murder Lee Dohyung,

nor did you abet Nam Hyukchul to commit murder.

And you never took out

Geum Seokju's heart at Banseokwon five years ago.

Your Honor. This case is unrelated to the case from five years…

Yes.

I didn't.

It is true that my emotions took over and I attacked Assistant Director Lee.

But I never intentionally murdered anyone or abetted anyone to commit murder.

Because taking a patient's life

on purpose at my hospital

is unimaginable.

COUNSEL, DEFENDANT

Counsel. What is this?

What is this noise?

Suddenly…

Counsel.

Is this phone you have in your hand yours?

Your Honor. Prosecution has confirmed circumstances that suggest this cellphone

possessed by the defendant's counsel is important evidence in this case.

Please consent to check it.

What are you doing? Let go.

Prosecution. What do you mean? How is it evidence?

COUNSEL

DEFENDANT

Who is it?

It's Cheon Hyungu.

Where are you?

I'm at the courthouse.

Mr. Cheon Hyungu?

Yes, that's right.

What is this? Prosecution, what is going on?

Cho Junghyun, Cheon Hyungu.

Were you planning on killing them both?

Did you say you were sick of this?

I'm sick of it too, so I'll reveal everything

right here, right now.

Your Honor, I would like to call Cheon Hyungu to the stand.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the Chief Director of Honours Hand headquarters, Susie Yoon.

I'm going to take Honours Hand from Jayden.

I'm getting revenge. Revenge for taking the most precious thing in my life.

Prosecution. Are you okay?

Seokyeong. Call an ambulance. Hurry!

I don't think I can defend you anymore. I'm sorry.

I'm going to leave the country as soon as I redeem my investment in stocks.

I wanted to be with you guys for a bit longer.

Thank you.
