[Episode 13]
[Organ Donation Application]
[Center Chief Go Jung Hoon]
Doctor Kang.
This is yours.
[Organ Donation Written Oath]
I hope I can look after you, no matter where I end up.
Just like how you came back for me that night.
[Organ Donation Written Oath]
It looks like...
Dad also signed the oath that day.
[October 1st, 2006, Go Jung Hoon]
[October 1st, 2006, Kang In Joo]
The government has been speaking up about illegal organ trade.
Shockingly, the center chief of a major hospital was recently
found to be involved.
The police found fabricated organ donation forms and related call records
inside the suspect's car
which will be added to the charges against him.
However, the hospital claims that he acted alone
and that the hospital had no involvement whatsoever...
That's our old man. He used his brain.
But what will he do? That only benefits me.
The police revealed that it seems like he paid fake donors
to illegally buy and sell organs.
[Restricted Number]
Geez, you successfully avoided a crisis.
I was so worried, I couldn't sleep a wink.
How is it going on your end?
- I've already set it up. - Really?
Then get it done already. Don't waste any time.
That's why I'm calling. I want to get it done.
- But? - But...
I don't have enough money.
How much?
- One bill. - 100 million?
Why are you being like that? You're missing a zero.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes, Sir.
You're too worked up right now. You won't get any information like this.
You saw it too. The evidence they talked about on the news.
Those were documents that Dad gathered to uncover the truth about the trade.
How could they conduct such a baseless investigation?
Don't go.
It will end the same way it did in Kim Chul Ho's case.
What did Dad abandon his family to protect?
Patients and regulations! That's it!
Those people are ruining Dad's life right now!
Then let's go together.
I'll come with you.
I mean...
how can they reveal information that hasn't even been confirmed yet?
Call logs? Fabricated documents? I'm speechless.
I'm disappointed in the hospital too. The center chief acted alone?
I don't know about the director, but there's no way Center Chief did this.
- Doctor Hwang. - Hey.
I'm... I'm sorry.
They found the fabricated documents in Center Chief's office
and the call logs show that he approached the seller.
What do you mean by that?
Are you suggesting that he participated in the dealings?
I didn't want to say this
but weren't you the one who operated on Congressman Noh?
Aren't you the one who participated in it, more than any of us?
Doctor, please calm down.
What I mean is...
how did that pass for evidence?
Unless someone intentionally planned it, that is.
I'm asking why Center Chief was charged
but his sudden death is the biggest question of all.
Shouldn't we submit a petition for a reinvestigation?
Okay, let's submit a petition or whatever else we can.
- Hurry and spread the news. - Yes, Sir.
[Shingwang Police Station]
But you only have circumstantial evidence.
How could you reveal such baseless investigation results?
If you don't correct this, I'll sue you for defamation.
We found fabricated documents for the fake organ donors
as well as call logs proving his attempts to contact the seller.
I already told you, he did that to uncover the truth about the trade!
Was Go Jung Hoon a police officer? He was a doctor.
Why did a doctor call a seller to uncover the truth?
Take a look at the call logs.
Besides... how do you explain that?
We found 200 million won in cash and related documents in his car.
The evidence has been fabricated.
But there's no evidence to refute it.
Did you find those inside my dad's car?
Do you think we put it there ourselves then?
That doesn't make any sense. There's no way.
My dad wouldn't have accepted money.
Family members always say that.
Do you think...
that maybe I didn't know my dad too well?
What do you mean?
If that money was really found in Dad's car--
Don't worry. There's no way.
Maybe I didn't know him very well since we lived apart for so long.
I was with him when you two lived apart.
Believe me. He wasn't that kind of person.
Thank you for saying that.
The truth is, that's all I wanted to hear.
Go on without me.
I have somewhere to go.
- Where are you going? - I'll tell you when I get back.
Please take me to Moojunggak.
The accident occurred at around 10 p.m.
Why did he come here and who did he meet?
Welcome. Do you have a reservation?
No, I came from Sunrim Hospital.
Oh, are you from Sunrim Hospital?
Would you like the Moram Room again?
That's the room that Chief Director Son and Director Lee reserve every time.
Did they reserve that room four days ago?
No, they didn't have a reservation four days ago.
Okay, thank you.
The transplant center staff is acting very suspiciously.
They submitted a petition to the police asking for a reinvestigation.
Is there something on my face?
What's your current salary?
A little over 70 million won.
How long have you worked here?
I've been with you since the beginning, so it's been 14 years now.
Then, it's time for a raise, isn't it?
Really? If you insist...
How old are your kids?
The older one is in fourth grade
and the younger one just started school.
Oh, really?
That's the perfect age to study abroad.
I'll pay for your kids' education, including college tuition
their living expenses, and give you 10 times your salary
in a single payment.
Pardon?
As long as you confess
that you gave Center Chief the fabricated documents yourself.
- Are you asking me to-- - If you do this...
you'll only get six months or less for workplace forgery.
And if you're lucky, you'll be released on probation.
You know how skilled our lawyer is.
You'd have to work for me for over 10 years for that kind of money.
You won't have to suck up to me or see any dirty deeds.
Will you take this opportunity
for yourself...
or will you let it go to someone else?
Honey.
Where did Sister-in-law's kids go to study abroad again?
Oh, that's right.
The Philippines, right?
You were sad that...
we couldn't send our kids then.
Do you still want to send them abroad?
Oh Gi Nam.
You're under arrest for participation in organ trade and workplace forgery.
Anyway, we're off the hook thanks to the PR manager.
Yes, we are.
Please dig in.
The winter fish won't give you food poisoning.
Oh, yes.
Did you say that Doctor Lee has been with us for eight years now?
You still remember that?
Of course.
Aren't we on the same boat now?
I feel like this might be the perfect timing.
How about we put Doctor Lee in the center chief's position?
He's still too young and inexperienced...
Why have you... changed your mind all of a sudden?
No, it's not that...
Where else...
would he get such an opportunity with those hands of his?
Besides Sunrim Hospital?
I'll ask him.
[15 years ago, Rh- A?]
What did you watch? Didn't you hear the news?
They said that a hospital employee acquired the organ
and the center chief operated with it.
So they were both in on it.
- And the hospital was in the dark. - There's no way.
The center chief wasn't like that.
Geez, but look at who's usually behind these things?
It's always the quiet ones, isn't it?
He pretended to care for the patients while he snuck around doing that.
- Goodness, maybe you're right. - Yeah, that's it.
- Gosh, how could he do that? - I know.
Coordinator Go.
Don't worry about what other people say.
It doesn't matter as long as we stay strong.
I don't get shaken up that easily.
I just...
feel bad for my dad, who only cared about his patients.
He didn't do that expecting that people would see it.
So let's not expect that from them either.
We just have to prove the kind of life
that he lived.
Doctor Kang!
- Are you going home? - Yes.
Why don't we go together then? I'm heading home too.
His name is Kang In Kyu.
He entered Sunrim Hospital to find out who ordered his father's dissection
and who got his father's kidney.
Oh, Dad!
Oh, Yeon Hee.
Dad, you haven't met Doctor Kang before, have you?
In the process of providing transplants to powerful people
who benefits the most?
Who has the authority to let this happen?
Let me formally introduce myself. I'm a resident, Kang In Kyu.
I've heard about you.
But why did you join us at such a hectic time?
I know it's hard, but please work hard for us.
Let's go.
Are you close with that resident doctor?
Why? Does it seem that way?
Weren't you about to head out together?
No, we just ran into each other.
But I guess we look close.
Joo Hyuk asked me if we're close too.
Don't get too close to him.
Why?
I don't like the look in his eyes.
He's not a bad person...
but he does look sad.
I told you not to get close to him.
It's always good to listen to your elders.
Didn't you scold me for not getting married yet?
I've liked Doctor Kang since I first saw him.
This is a TA emergency patient!
Is there an obstetrician in this ER?
I had never fallen for someone at first sight...
before that.
Hello?
Yes, this is Go Ji In.
But who are you?
Kim Hyung Bum, who lost all his limbs and money
will approach Chief Director Son.
He'll either ask him for money or for a chance to escape.
What will Chief Director Son do to Kim Hyung Bum then
when he knows all his secrets?
He'll kill him.
Then the evidence will be gone.
If I want to expose Chief Director Son, Kim Hyung Bum has to be alive.
Aren't you curious? About the man who ordered your father's dissection
and who got your father's kidney.
Chief Director Son was the client and Director Lee performed the surgery.
He was probably promised a promotion to his current position in return.
I heard about your father on the news.
I'm sorry I couldn't pay my respects.
That's okay. I wasn't able to notify you, with the state I was in.
The truth is, on the day of the accident
he visited me.
- My dad did? - He said he had some questions
about a patient's case.
But... it seemed like he was curious
about Chief Director Son.
Chief Director Son from our hospital?
That's right. That man, Son Young Shik.
Who could it be?
How great was that person
that Chief Director Son killed a man
to make the transplant happen?
- It was because of his daughter. - Pardon?
Why else would a speculator take over a hospital?
He took over the hospital because of his daughter?
After he lost his wife to heart disease, his one and only daughter
was also diagnosed with heart disease.
That's why he did everything he could to save his daughter.
What kind of disease was it?
I think it was dilated cardiomyopathy.
Director Lee would know all about it.
He was in charge of that department when he worked at Hanguk Hospital.
Hello, Doctor.
This is Coordinator Go Ji In from Sunrim Hospital.
Do you still work at Hanguk Hospital by any chance?
I was hoping that you could send me some records from when Director Lee was there.
Yes, not all of it. Just the ones pertaining to dilated cardiomyopathy.
[Sunrim Hospital]
I'll stand in as first in today's surgery.
- Do as you'd like. - Really?
You're standing in as second then, okay?
Okay.
Geez, don't be so formal. We're at the same level.
Fine, let's just keep it formal.
And maintain this uncomfortable vibe.
Come sit down.
I called you to my office...
because I want you to take the center chief's position.
There's no one better suited for it.
Whether we measure by years or experience.
The former center chief was a great doctor.
And I know he did his very best for his patients.
But what's the use, when he put our hospital in this state?
Of course, the position isn't easy to fill.
And at times, you'll have to do things you don't want to do.
I'm aware of that.
- That's why-- - It's also a position
that determines the fates of countless people.
Including your father's.
He talked to you without notifying me first?
But... why do you seem unhappy?
You wanted me to take Center Chief's position, didn't you?
That was back then.
Father.
Are you hiding something from me?
The center chief's sudden death and the convenient evidence.
There's... there's something going on, isn't there?
That's total nonsense.
If you don't tell me...
I'll accept Chief Director Son's offer.
I'll find out for myself then.
What?
So, be honest with me.
You know something about center chief's accident, don't you?
Don't waste your energy on such useless matters
and just focus on your surgeries.
[Personnel Appointment] What's this?
- They're just too much. - But didn't we see this coming?
But this isn't right.
[Lee Joo Hyuk, Interim Center Chief.] How can they notify us this way?
I mean, it hasn't been long since Center Chief passed away...
- They raised a real tiger, didn't they? - Doctor Park.
Congratulations, Center Chief.
Please do your best for the transplant center.
Congratulations...
Doctor Lee.
I'll address you correctly when I'm ready.
Sure, I'd be more comfortable that way.
Hello.
Oh, Go Ji In.
Can I have a word?
What is this?
It's condolence money from the hospital.
Whether you get some rest or look into another job...
you won't have to work for a year.
With the amount you've been given.
- Are you advising me to resign? - You can think of it that way
if that makes it easier.
I'll think about it.
Poor people sure have a lot of pride.
[Personnel Appointment, Lee Joo Hyuk, Center Chief]
Hello.
- Please head to Jungang Intersection. - Yes, Sir.
I'll be right out. Please turn off the ignition and stand by.
Sure.
[Wooil Hospital]
Can the patient survive after an operation here?
What am I, a doctor? I don't care about that.
He just needs to keep breathing for a few days.
Until I get my money.
Then, is the organ extraction all that's left?
Why are you in such a hurry? I want this more than you do.
This won't do.
This isn't the amount I asked for!
I'll give you the rest once it's done.
That's not what we agreed on. You said you'd give me one payment.
You were the one who went back on his word first.
I've given you so much money over the years.
I clearly warned you.
That I wouldn't let you off if you tried anything.
And what does that mean?
I'm no easy target.
If I die, my guy will release copies of these immediately.
Are you suggesting that we take this to the end?
Why? Were you planning on parting ways with me already?
I said I'd give it to you when it's done!
I mean, wouldn't it be a shame
if all the money you've invested went to waste?
If you just spend a bit more, I'll end this and disappear forever.
I can't get through to you, can I?
Sunrim Hospital's ER doctor...
Son Yeon Hee.
Don't say my daughter's name with those dirty lips of yours.
Why not? Your daughter is working her ass off, saving lives in the ER
so how would she feel if she found out that her father killed someone?
Should I call my guy and tell him to spread the photos?
Meet me tomorrow.
I'll give you the rest.
I'll see you tomorrow then.
I'm freezing here. Hurry up.
Please follow that car with your headlights off.
Sure.
Oh, he's over there!
Please don't lose him.
Okay.
Hello?
Could you kill someone for me?
And make it quiet.
Why do you look like that?
Did you cry?
- No. - By the way
what did Hanguk Hospital fax over to you?
- I got a fax? - Yeah.
Here.
[Medical Record - Son Yeon Hee]
[Dilated cardiomyopathy...]
Why is the bag so empty?
The old man is doubtful.
Use this to pay the fakes.
If we don't pay them, they'll go elsewhere.
What about my share?
Do a good job.
It's not like I'm a newbie.
Don't worry.
They must be out of rooms. They're leaving already.
- Please follow them. - Sure.
- Please wait here. - Sure.
[Game Land]
Did you win anything?
Geez, today isn't my lucky day.
- When did you get here? - It's been around eight hours.
I don't know.
But I don't see Doctor Park around.
- Doctor Park? - Yeah.
Haven't you heard?
- He was arrested yesterday. - What?
He got caught trying to make illegal goods for middle-aged ladies.
Geez, what is this guy doing?
I told him to keep his head down for a while.
Geez, that unlucky bastard.
That little...
Hey, do you happen to know
a doctor who needs money? A surgeon.
- Why? - A big deal came in...
and if it works out, I'll never have to work again.
This doesn't even compare.
If I find you a doctor, would you give me a cut?
Just play your game, you bastard. I'll find him on my own.
You have to insert money here to make it work. Geez, seriously.
"Dilated cardiomyopathy in a 14-year-old patient."
"On the waiting list for a heart transplant."
"Top priority."
[Heart Failure.] Heart failure?
- Team Leader. - Yeah?
If a dilated cardiomyopathy patient has heart failure
could he or she work in urgent care?
I'm not sure. That's not very likely.
How many years has it been since they were diagnosed?
[Date: 09/12/1998.] Around 20 years.
Hey, that makes no sense.
How could the patient still be alive, let alone work in urgent care?
Right? It doesn't make sense, does it?
Of course not.
Wait a minute.
If the patient received a successful transplant, it's possible.
[On the waiting list as top priority.]
[Center Chief Lee Joo Hyuk]
[Kang In Kyu of Myungin University Received Perfect Score]
[Organ Trade Investigation]
[Gyeonggi Palmunsan, Body Found with All Organs Extracted]
- Hello, Coordinator Go? - Hello.
I received the documents you sent me.
I see.
But... I wanted to ask you for one more favor.
Do you have Patient Son Yeon Hee's heart transplant records as well?
Why do you ask?
Oh... we have a patient in a similar situation
so I wanted to use it as reference.
Oh, just a moment.
There's no record.
There's no record of a transplant.
- There's no record? - That's right.
Oh, I see. Thank you.
[Son Yeon Hee, 14 years old, Female, Rh- A...]
[Doctor Kang In Kyu]
[Organ Trade Culprit Caught While Absconding to China]
Why did the center chief collect these articles?
And what's the connection between these articles?
Palmunsan Murder Case?
Organ trade.
Two accomplices.
And Kang In Kyu.
I'm not a doctor at Sunrim Hospital
but a medical officer at Shingwang Prison.
Shingwang Prison?
[Kim Hyung Bum Escapes from Shingwang Prison]
[In January of 2002, Kang Dae Soo...]
Kang Dae Soo?
Kang In Kyu.
[Job Application]
[Kang Dae Soo] Kang Dae Soo.
[Rh- A] Rh- A.
[15 years ago, Rh- A?] 15 years ago, Rh- A.
[Go Ji In]
Hello?
Doctor Kang.
What's wrong with your voice?
Is something the matter?
No, it's not that...
I...
discovered another case related to the organ trade.
But the thing is...
I think it was a heart transplant.
- A heart? - Yes.
Are you saying that the hospital performed an illegal heart transplant?
I don't know that much...
but the beneficiary is someone we know.
Who is it?
Joo Hyuk, can I come in?
Yeah, come on in.
Doctor Son Yeon Hee.
Wh... who?
It seems like Doctor Son from the ER
received an illegal heart transplant.
- Yeon Hee. - Yeah?
What's Doctor Son's... blood type?
Rh- A.
When did the surgery take place?
I... think it was in 2002.
There are no records after that.
Didn't you get your surgery in 2002?
- Yeah. - What month?
January.
Hello?
Doctor Kang. Hello?
[Doctor Kang In Kyu]
[Cross]
Where's Doctor Son Yeon Hee?
I need to protect the person I love.
I said that I'd do it.
If something happens to my son, I won't stand for it.
That sounds like a threat.
I need to know why you joined our hospital.
Did you join our hospital because...
I need to know that reason.
You thought you won, didn't you? But you messed with the wrong guy.
The most definite way to secure evidence...
is to become the evidence myself.
