EPISODE 11

Hello?

Yes, I'm outside.

Where is she?

Who?

The patient who just died.

What? Didn't you send her?

To where?

The transfer team came and took her.

I thought you had them take her.

Maybe there was a mistake.

You idiots. How could you lose a body? Go find her now!

Okay.

MORGUE

Did you take our body?

Sorry?

ORGAN TRANSPLANT CENTER

Hey.

We found her.

Shit.

Is she trying to turn me into roadkill or what?

Who said you could come in?

-Director. There must've been a mistake... -Everyone out.

Pardon?

Get out!

Who's that patient?

They said her name was Lee Jeong-seon. That's all I know.

The police are here already.

You mean the man just now?

He's the one that came after the car accident

caused by the reckless driver.

Do you think they're doing an inspection?

But why the director?

That happened after the CT, right?

Yes. I'll get it right now!

We're looking into it.

Just a minute, please. Wait right here.

Did you find Lee Jeong-seon?

Is that her family?

Yes.

Their daughter fainted on the street, and was brought to the hospital,

but the first hospital told them to go to a bigger hospital for higher-level care.

But

the strange thing is,

the hospital transferred her without notifying the family.

They had processed her admission and went home to get some things,

and their daughter was transferred.

Excuse me. We were told our daughter was here.

Her name is Lee Jeong-seon.

I'm sorry.

Your daughter came here unconscious.

While we were examining her, she suddenly stopped breathing,

and her heart stopped.

Where

is our daughter now?

They're determining the cause of death.

Ms. Ahn!

Take us to Jeong-seon.

-I will. First, let's put her on a bed. -Okay.

Let's tend to her first.

They're doing the inspection now.

Something is off, so I'll go look into it.

Okay.

We'll find out when you can see your daughter.

SEO-HYEON

I'll be right back.

Is Lee Jeong-seon

really dead?

Who is she, that everyone is...

Do you know her?

You know her too,

although not directly.

Do you remember?

The Speaker's receipts.

The ones he claimed were for DNA research,

but they were actually for cosmetic procedures.

I saw the article about how he used special activity funds.

The case your company disclosed.

She's the one who brought us the receipts.

Lee Jeong-seon worked at that beauty clinic.

You said you'd keep my identity a secret, but you sold me out!

What's your problem? I didn't sell anyone out!

I heard my coworker's voice...

-Let go. Let go of me! -Damn it!

Let go of me!

Jeong-seon. Look at me.

We're on Eulji-ro 4-ga 7-gil.

Send an ambulance. Quickly!

How was she?

I can't remember.

I was so frantic.

It's okay. Take your time.

Was she unconscious?

She looked like she couldn't move her body,

and soon lost consciousness.

She looked like she wanted to say something,

but I couldn't understand her.

She was not responsive by the time she was put in the ambulance.

Did your coworker

get the receipts from Lee Jeong-seon?

It was an exclusive story that he had covered.

He had worked on it for a while.

But why were the informant and the reporter arguing?

He promised to keep her identity a secret, but...

it got out.

Did the Speaker find out?

He's not the one...

Do you know the cause of death?

Seo-hyeon.

You can tell me anything.

I won't tell anyone.

It's not because I think you'll tell people,

but because you may get hurt.

Those people

are capable of silencing ordinary people like us in an instant.

I'm sure Lee Jeong-seon feared Chairman Hong Seong-chan more than the Speaker.

Do you mean the chairman from QL Electronics?

Why?

I only heard this from my coworker,

but he said Hong Seong-chan was behind him.

The Speaker was supposed to pay the clinic himself,

and Hong Seong-chan would reimburse him for it.

Membership alone costs over ten million won.

It would not only be a bribe, but potential money laundering.

However, although he'd get it all back, the Speaker used

government special activity funds instead of his own money.

If he uses the special activity fund to pay for it,

and is reimbursed by Hong Seong-chan later...

He would get double the amount.

That corrupt bastard.

My coworker wanted to go after him as well.

Hong Seong-chan.

What's the cause of death?

We don't know yet. They're...

There was a laceration on the back of her head.

It was an open wound.

Even if it happened when she fell...

If she fell because he shoved her...

But she died, so...

it's manslaughter.

Murder.

That's right.

What did your coworker say?

The police took him away.

That's not true.

She just collapsed in front of me.

I didn't do anything.

Why would a healthy person just collapse?

You hit her, didn't you?

I did not.

You hit her, didn't you?

I never touched her.

What really doesn't make sense is,

they took him away, but didn't check the accident site at all.

I pointed out where she fell,

and the police just walked right past it.

It was weird how they moved hospitals too.

It was out of nowhere, and to Sangkook of all hospitals.

What about Sangkook?

They're holding a briefing soon about her death.

Who's giving the briefing?

I heard it's your hospital director.

If you hear anything internally...

I'll let you know. Call me when it ends.

She got facial fillers and a facelift treatment.

DNA research? Whatever.

Is she the employee?

Yes. She works at the clinic.

The one who brought me this.

How did you come to learn that the Speaker of the National Assembly's wife

received cosmetic procedures?

My coworkers told me.

No, Jeong-seon. You can't say that.

You need to say who told you what.

For example, your coworkers

told you that the client was the Speaker of the National Assembly's wife. Right?

Not exactly.

But every time she spoke,

she would say things like, "Do you know who my husband is?"

and ordered us to go buy her stockings and fetch things for her.

But my coworkers said to do whatever she told me to do,

because her husband is someone very powerful.

And that very powerful person is the Speaker of the National Assembly.

Yes. Based on the picture that you showed me...

She didn't expose what she found out.

You planted the idea in her head.

How could a worker at a place like this know who the Speaker is?

I showed her a photo of him with his wife,

and confirmed that was her.

Why are you cutting that out?

It'll just dilute the issue.

The point is the origin of the money and its use,

but it sounds like she's reporting her abuse of power over her

out of revenge.

But it was her abuse of power that motivated her to report it.

Abuse of power among the privileged is a common topic.

People are sick of it now.

"A brave citizen discovered corruption and reported it."

That's better for her.

For you as well, I believe?

Hey. Go work on your own stories

instead of butting into mine.

Don't tell me you expect credit for this because

you found out what the receipts were for.

I don't intend to, and I don't want to, either.

You'll blur her out, right?

Yes. I'm doing it now.

Anyway,

you'll keep this anonymous, right?

Whereas the Speaker asserts that the evidence against him

for misusing government funds was fabricated,

the media company that first reported the suspicion

disclosed new evidence supporting their assertion that they were not fabricated.

The reason I remember is because the treatment

that she received...

What is that? Anyone who knows her will recognize her.

...was the most expensive procedure.

Hey.

INTERVIEW WITH THE INFORMANT

Yes.

Yes.

I understand.

I'll report right away. Yes.

Who gave the order?

Do you know the cause of death?

Who ordered it?

Forget it. Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Let me make this one thing clear.

This is where I bow out. I won't do anything more.

Do you know the cause of death?

A laceration in the occipital region

approximately 3cm wide.

Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage

and epidural hemorrhage--

In layman's terms.

Death caused by blunt force trauma...

is possible.

Good. Let's go with that.

We cannot possibly do that!

You need to be really unlucky to die like this.

Who dies because they're lucky?

People get unlucky and get hit by cars while crossing the street and die.

Sure. You must already have the scenario all written up.

You people take care of it.

I'm not interested anyway. I'm out.

What do you want me to do?

What about me?

Why did you drag me into this? Why did you tell them about me?

I did not. I never even mentioned you!

What if I refuse?

What if I do as I wish?

What happens then?

Director Oh.

Fucking assholes.

I just got a call

from some strange man.

He asked if I was Sangkook University Hospital's Oh Se-hwa's mom.

When I said I was, he told to me relay a message for him,

that they're relying on you.

And then, he just hung up.

What's going on? Is something wrong?

Mom. Hold on for a minute.

PRESIDENT GU SEUNG-HYO

Hello?

The likelihood she died from being hit.

The likelihood she had a preexisting condition.

Was it caused by the blunt force trauma from the fight,

or did she die from an illness?

I'm the hospital director, Oh Se-hwa. I'll begin the briefing.

Lee Jeong-seon was transferred to this hospital tonight

around 8:33 p.m. from another hospital in Seoul.

She was unconscious at the time

due to a head injury and loss of blood.

The difference in pupil size was greater than 1.5mm,

indicating a possibility

of damage to the cranial nerves.

She was in a semicoma and was unable to breathe on her own.

Laceration in the left occipital region.

"Laceration in the left occipital region."

CPR was administered continuously for 30 minutes

in accordance with the rules,

but at 9:19 p.m., she passed away.

NAME OF DECEASED: LEE JEONG-SEON

There were no other external injuries observed other than the laceration

in her left occipital region measuring approximately 3cm wide.

Her heart stopped due to

subarachnoid hemorrhage and acute cerebral edema.

This was caused by...

blunt force trauma to the head.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Hey.

They made the announcement.

They say she died because of the fight.

It was homicide?

-Yes. -Okay.

Why aren't they doing an autopsy?

How could they only do an inspection?

There are times when an autopsy is done after an inspection.

Will they do it then?

Hwajeong's chairman and QL's chairman

studied together in the US.

They've been friends for a while.

If it ends like this, it'll be the best-case scenario for them.

For the Speaker too, obviously.

I keep having this thought.

"What will happen to us?"

A person died, but that's what I'm worried about.

Why is everything so messed up?

Who's that?

I worried for nothing.

He's fine.

-Should we go and introduce ourselves? -No.

You said there's something you have to do. Go.

-What about you? -I'll wait.

I'll be quick.

Don't cry, okay?

You knew, didn't you?

That Seon-woo had feelings for me.

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

You always share everything about him with me.

Were you afraid that I would hurt his feelings if I knew how he felt?

It's about you, too.

What?

It's much harder than it seems

to have a disabled family member.

For the first few years, every single day was a war.

Seon-woo may be my brother, but you're my friend

of 15 years.

How could I ask you to fight with me?

How could I ask you to grab a rifle

and jump into this war?

But No-eul...

Yes?

You really didn't know...

that he smiled only at you?

Was that so hard to see?

He was always your little brother, and...

I see.

Dr. Lee.

Here's what you asked for regarding the AGE patient with diarrhea.

Increase Medilac dosage to three times a day.

It's quiet here.

What do you mean?

You know, it had been all over the news because she died in our Emergency Room.

The director was on TV, too.

I didn't see it.

I heard it was broadcast practically live.

Are things quiet in the president's office?

The president's office?

We'd have no clue

whether it's quiet there or pure mayhem.

I'll go for real this time.

Okay. Good night.

See you tomorrow.

Don't cry.

That's how hospitals are.

Even if we don't do anything, problems of society come barging in on us.

Like when a conglomerate chairman comes in a wheelchair.

It'll pass.

I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Gu.

See you tomorrow.

Why are you coming back?

Where are you going?

I heard something happened here.

I guess I shouldn't have come.

Are you going home?

I'm going to the chairman.

Oh, goodness.

I know we can't...

pretend like it didn't happen,

but let's act as if it didn't.

Like we did today,

let's call each other if something happens to Jin-woo,

and check on him together.

Like how we normally did.

Thanks to that, I got to see his girlfriend.

That sneaky guy.

I thought he was busy, but I guess he even had time for his love life.

You just wait a bit.

I shall torture him tomorrow and get all the juicy details.

Thanks.

For torturing him?

Yes.

Each brother was keeping a secret.

How do you think you'd feel

if Jin-woo was sick but kept it from you?

If he keeps it from me, I'd have nothing to say or do.

If I were to find out...

I know...

how he'll feel, being unable to do anything

for who knows how long.

I know that

for sure.

You didn't need to know, either.

I'm sorry.

I'm not sorry for finding out.

Hey.

Dr. Joo isn't in his office.

He went home because it was his daughter's birthday the day before yesterday.

-What is it? -I'll see you around.

Okay.

See you around!

The hospital transferred her without notifying the family.

My coworker wanted to go after him as well.

Hong Seong-chan.

REPORTER ATTACKS AND KILLS INFORMANT

-Hello, sir. -Hi.

Hey.

Hi.

Did you get a renovation?

It looks like you got a makeover.

You're looking good.

We're not old enough to look bad.

I guess things are going your way.

Lucky you. I'm getting a frozen shoulder.

You've never been a fan of sports.

I liked studying. You're the one who liked sports.

This guy's rock hard. You should work out together.

You should take him.

-Yes, sir. -Mr. Gu's busy.

-He has to launch the health app. -Yes, sir.

It's not like he didn't because he didn't have the technology.

It'll be preinstalled on phones and wearables coming out this fall, right?

-Yes, sir. -Which products?

From the new models. Not the preexisting ones.

Are you upgrading your preexisting phones with our app?

Come on, now. You were begging to work with us.

Begging?

What about you? You were the one that asked for help.

Am I the only one involved?

You wanted to annihilate them, too.

Chairman Hong.

Chairman Cho has mentioned that

his company will handle the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

We need to go through them?

Yes. Any device that can measure heart rates

is categorized as a medical device,

so it cannot be sold in general stores.

Including the 10% tariff on exports.

Yes.

Our product must be excluded from being considered a medical device

prior to its release.

How?

We must change the law.

A heart rate measuring mechanism of a smartphone

is not for medical use, but for exercise and for fun.

That's what we'll need to stress.

Will it work?

We'll have to send the legal team to Yeouido.

You two make a great team.

I heard you guys got the educational business deal in Mongolia and Russia.

What about that?

Everyone wants to be like Korean celebrities now, don't they?

In some countries, people are interested in knowing which facilities rich people

get their health check-up, skincare treatments, and cosmetic surgery from.

When public figures such as Ambassadors use those services,

it can create a real buzz there.

I happen to have a meeting at the Embassy soon.

Thank you, Chairman Hong.

I only said there's a meeting...

Fine. I'll set something up.

Okay, then. The final piece of business...

You're excused, Mr. Gu.

The Speaker called, right?

Yes, just before.

That idiot.

Don't get me started.

He can't even take a handout, but he's so greedy.

The arrest warrant for the reporter was issued.

Everyone at Saegeul21,

including the editor-in-chief, are being questioned.

There's a search warrant against the company for fabricating a story.

That was quick.

Lee Jeong-seon is said to have been nervous ever since

her interview aired.

She often said she couldn't breathe due to the stress.

Her family stated that she got into a heated argument

with Kwon Hui-sang on the phone.

Even on the day of the incident, they said she ran over

to Saegeul21 out of anger.

The building superintendent heard her and the reporter fight.

Did they really fight?

The superintendent heard her say, "Let go,"

so it had to have been physical. They heard her fall, too.

Then was it really...

-And the funeral? -They're having her cremated tomorrow.

But more people are demanding an autopsy.

Most of them are Saegeul21's employees and religious groups.

Please give us your official statement.

Didn't you predict that

-her identity would be revealed? -Hey, move!

-All the employees will be questioned. -Over here.

They're here!

We have a search warrant. Please comply.

Do you admit the charge?

-Was the evidence indeed fabricated? -Give us a statement.

Please give us a statement.

Why are you crying?

We went through this during the strike.

Why won't the world change?

Why won't it change?

Why did you go to the morgue? People could've seen you.

I went alone at dawn.

Besides, I don't need permission to be anywhere inside the hospital.

So?

There is a laceration. About this big, as she said.

However, the director did not mention the depth.

Is it deep?

Well, the depth isn't the real problem here.

I'm sure Mr. Gu gave the order to the director.

What matters is, who gave Mr. Gu the order.

This is a double-edged sword.

You'll still go after him, right?

He says he'll build a large, new cancer center.

You can run that proudly. What's with you?

Isn't it better for you if he does well?

What do you take me for? I'm not doing this for myself.

It's because it's illogical.

It is possible.

I can't say for sure though.

What if she had atrial fibrillation

and was pushing and shoving in the state of extreme agitation that lead to

a part of her cerebral artery getting clogged?

If that's why she fainted--

If that's how she got the laceration...

If the fight wasn't what made her fall...

If she fell due to her illness...

It's all about the "If."

They're all hypotheses.

What are the primary symptoms for this case?

Paralysis, dyslalia, loss of consciousness.

I heard Lee Jeong-seon could not speak,

and could not move.

That's what the eyewitness said.

Of course, she couldn't. She fell and was injured.

Dysarthria can result from subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Her family said she often said she had difficulty breathing.

The difficulty in breathing wasn't induced by atrial fibrillation.

It was because of the stress after the news broke out that she was the informant.

She also said her heart was racing

before leaving to meet the reporter.

She was arguing with him on the phone.

-Of course, her heart was racing. -Then why did Director Oh get involved?

If you look only at that and insist on her illness, ignoring all other factors,

how are you different from the director, who announced the cause of death based on

external observations?

Do you oppose the autopsy?

The autopsy should have been done in the first place.

Then what?

What's the probability

that the cause of death was an embolism compared to a head injury?

We'd need an autopsy--

What is it?

As of now, it's 50 to 50.

Saegeul21 was the thorn in many people's sides,

all of them are rich and powerful.

The person who fought with the reporter, who was digging into him, collapsed.

"Good. Let's bring her to our hospital."

But she died there.

"Even better that she was hit.

Make that the cause of death."

But we're in the same position as Director Oh.

Neither of us knows the exact cause of death.

Just because Mr. Gu was involved doesn't mean she distorted the truth.

It may have been an illness,

or it may have been because of the blunt force trauma as she announced.

The problem is if you insist on an autopsy,

and by chance,

let's say we do perform an autopsy, but it turns out not to be an embolism.

It's confirmed as cerebral hemorrhage due to head injury.

What will happen to you, then?

The real problem starts when the autopsy reverses the conclusion.

It wasn't assault. It was due to an illness.

So, that reporter gets out,

and the higher-ups have a mess in their hands.

Would they leave you alone?

They made that reporter a murderer without a problem.

Who do you think

their next target will be?

Let's just say that

I'm naive and have no fear.

Do you have a suit?

Sorry?

Oh, no.

Go home and get it.

-I'll borrow it at the funeral parlor. -They lend you suits?

You didn't know? You haven't been borrowing one all this time?

I have mine.

Shoot.

It's fine.

I have a meeting

and a surgery. It'll take around three hours.

Can you wait?

I'll go alone--

No. Go with me later.

Let's do it together.

Yes, sir.

Making a reporter look like a murderer is a piece of cake for them.

If the result is overturned,

who do you think they will blame?

FORMAL WEAR RENTAL

MEMORIAL ALTAR 2 NAME OF DECEASED: LEE JEONG-SEON

People from Saegeul21 are here.

They seem to be requesting for an autopsy.

How dare you show your face here?

Wasn't it enough that you killed the poor child?

How could you ask us to put a knife to her body?

Would you every let your child go through such a thing?

Please, help us this one time.

It isn't only because of our colleague.

For the sake of the deceased, an autopsy must--

How dare you say it's for her sake?

Is that how you got her to quit her perfectly fine job?

Is that how you made her get threatening calls day and night?

You used her, made sure everyone could identify her, and killed her.

Then you rush over to us because you need our help. And what do you ask for?

An autopsy so you can prove your innocence?

You know what. Let's cut you open first.

I'll cut you open first, you bastards!

Please, calm down.

-Get over here! -Please, don't do this.

Stop that.

-Please stop. -Let's cut you open!

Please, calm down.

Please, ma'am.

We'll note that your department refused to provide the documents.

Ma'am, please calm down.

You should go.

It's okay.

They're gone. It's okay.

You need to leave.

We're very sorry.

What are you doing at someone's funeral?

-Please leave. -Please leave.

You need to leave.

I'm begging you. This won't solve anything.

Now. Leave right now, okay?

-Please leave. -Just go.

I'm sorry,

but you need to go.

You can't do this here. Please leave.

Some departments haven't submitted the previous quarter's figures.

What am I to make of this, Ophthalmology and Organ Transplant Center?

I apologize. We'll finalize it soon.

And when is that?

We're more than halfway through the third quarter.

Must I hound you about something like this?

Like a teacher checking for homework?

I'm sorry. We'll have it ready by the end of the week.

I hear the residents' evaluations are circulating.

Why bother writing it by hand, then?

You should just do it on the computer, if you'll show it anyway.

Let's be vigilant about security.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

We won't be needing this chair anymore.

We will process the deputy director's resignation.

Did he resign?

He should.

He's taking up a spot, so we can't hire a replacement.

Meanwhile, others have to carry his weight.

He must either accept the punishment or resign.

So, tell him to choose.

Okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Don't you have something to tell us?

Our hospital name is all over the news,

but we don't know anything.

We're all department chiefs.

An autopsy should've been performed,

so why did you step in, when you're not even a pathologist?

You all know the reason.

Our hospital was in the spotlight

because a politician was involved.

It was a sensitive matter,

so I, the hospital director, made the call to do it myself.

Is that a problem?

You should've said something before taking the body.

Why take the body just like that?

Did I have the body moved secretly?

Did the ER kids not see them take it?

Is the transfer team invisible?

They did see, but...

That's not what I mean.

Aren't we doing an autopsy?

The family is against it.

Then it's not for us to quibble about.

Reporters are all over the hospital.

Make sure no one talks.

Especially Emergency Medicine.

Given how you, the chief of Emergency Medicine, keep raising doubts about

what happened that day,

I can't imagine what nonsense the doctors there might blab.

That won't happen.

The reporters don't have anything on us, do they?

-No, sir. -No, sir.

Be careful what you say.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Did the president set all this up? The inspection and everything?

You didn't go home?

Was a patient admitted?

No, none.

Then why...

Why are you wearing black?

Should I be wearing red?

Go home. You stayed up all night last night.

It wasn't the first time.

I'm trying to be nice here...

Go home! We have a meeting to start.

Go ahead, have your meeting.

See you guys.

-Bye. -Bye.

Go straight home! Don't go anywhere else.

He looks like he is going to go to the funeral parlor.

Why, hello.

Do you have business with Mr. Gu?

No, I was...

I was just walking by.

I see.

I'm on my way out.

I see.

You should go. I'll be on my way.

Okay.

Will you

go with me?

THE LATE LEE JEONG-SEON

I'm Joo Kyung-moon. I work here at this hospital.

I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Aren't you...

She looks exhausted.

I think she should rest.

You should go inside and rest a little.

They're right. Go in and sleep a little.

We think she should rest.

Is there a problem?

If she is very unwell, we can get her a room.

No.

We're doctors. Let her be.

Thank you for all your help.

Not at all, sir.

Please.

I'm sorry we couldn't save your daughter.

Did you see our child's final moment?

No.

I should have.

I'm okay now.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

This is an image of your daughter's chest

minutes before she passed.

So?

This is a blood clot in her heart.

This may have caused her death,

not her head injury.

So?

I'm sorry, but...

no one can know...

the true cause of death without looking in here.

Do you even...

consider our daughter human?

Look.

This isn't right.

You people shouldn't do this.

Our child left home in the morning,

but she never came home. She fainted somewhere.

You moved her around however you wanted.

You said she was hurt,

and then you say you want to cut her open.

She's my daughter. My daughter!

She's my baby, whom I gave birth to!

What do you people know?

What's wrong?

Calm down.

-Jeong-seon. -Okay.

-Okay. -I'm truly sorry.

I'm sorry.

Honey.

What is it?

Sir.

Excuse us. Please, step aside.

They want an autopsy for their child. What is wrong with you people?

Word's out that you told the family to have an autopsy.

Did you go to the funeral parlor because of that reporter?

Did you go to the funeral parlor

-because of someone? -Please answer me this time.

Ye Jin-woo of Emergency Medicine.

I repeat.

I hereby refute the conclusion

of the initial inspection.
