Number 1587, Jang Jae Bum. You're released. Come out of your cell.
Jae Bum's leaving!
- Jang Jae Bum! - I love you!
One more time! One more time!
One more time!
Writer Jang.
Writer Jang!
Writer Jang.
Writer Jang!
I'm going to kill you!
Bro...
What an idiot.
The final ruling for the assault case on best-selling author, Jang Jae Yeol
was reached today at Seochong Courthouse.
Author Jang Jae Yeol pleaded for the court's leniency on his brother during the hearing
stating that he was suffering from a mental breakdown due to his long imprisonment.
But the court pointed out that five others were hurt during the violent outburst
and that he also seemed to show no remorse for his crime
thus, they sentenced him to another 30 months in prison.
Is he a celebrity or a writer?
Look at that face of his. I bet he knows how to use his looks too.
What the heck?
How annoying.
Does this mean that he's not going to release his new book?
I've been waiting months!
Novelists these days seriously have no manners.
What are you doing? Who moves at the crack of dawn?
You blasting that TV woke me up already. Haven't you matured at all?
Well... you know me!
Don't steal my food.
Hey, why are you just leaving your cereal bowl here?
Did you leave it here for me to clean up?
I'm your senior and your roommate, not your maid.
You're dead if you treat this place like a pigsty and don't clean after yourself!
This house already is a pigsty.
Soo Kwang, I'm here! Come down here and get my bags!
Just leave him alone!
He just got dumped, and he's been crying for the past four days!
- Soo Kwang! - Stop it, you brat!
- Hye Soo! - Soo Kwang! Can you not hear me?
Hey!
Hye Soo! Hey, I told you to just...
That's from blowing his nose.
I saw him do it.
Seriously.
He was blowing out his feelings.
Let's just live happily in peace.
Love breeds more love.
'Silence of Love' by Jang Jae Yeol.
Hey.
You needed all that tissue paper while reading this book?
You'll know once you read it yourself.
So it's good?
Let me borrow it when you're done.
And clean your room.
[26 months later]
Tae Yong called, he's looking for a place for you.
I told him that if he doesn't find you a place by the end of the week
you're going to move into his place, so he better be prepared.
Next time when you wake me up, nudge me.
Don't wake me up by opening the windows and blasting music.
Okay, I will.
I guess you want me to go, since you're giving me short answers.
I have to go to the library.
What happened... with my book?
Get up, you asshole. The doctors are here.
- I said, get up! - What do you think you're doing?!
Look here!
He's just pretending. He's not even sleeping, that crazy bastard.
What a humiliation he is to our family. A boy chopping off his thing.
You bastard!
I said, get up!
Come on, Doctor!
He doesn't belong here right now.
He's a boy, but he claims to be a girl, and chopped off his thing.
He's a boy, but he likes other boys!
Bring me a psychiatrist.
Bring me a psychiatrist so I can take him to the mental hospital!
She's here right now.
- What? - Who do you think you're talking casually to?
Finish treating his wounds, and sign him up for a psychiatric evaluation.
He doesn't need any treatment! Get him locked up right now!
He's a transgender who received the operation three years ago
and started coming to see me two years ago.
His family told him that he was crazy at first
and called a shaman to perform an exorcism because they said he was possessed.
Then they beat him again even after all that.
This time...
they beat him because one of the cousins passed away.
I'm afraid they're going to end up killing him.
Let's move him into a solitary room in the psychiatric ward immediately.
If I receive a request for a consult, then I'll transfer him to my own department.
They're going to beat him to death if we just leave him here.
Okay, let's do that.
What's the standard procedure when you receive a patient?
You.
Find out their psychiatric history...
in particular, their views on gender roles...
Are you trying to make it obvious that you're an intern?
- What do you think? - Just send her home.
There's nothing wrong with her.
When she received her sex reassignment surgery
she already proved she didn't have any mental issues other than
a gender identity disorder.
I'm sure they performed the surgery since they deemed she was fine.
You're right.
This isn't a mental disorder, it's her sexual preference.
This is something that all psychiatrists in the world agree on
and it's been acknowledged as being a legitimate condition for a long time.
Let me see that.
Do you think that I consult my patients if I don't know more than you guys do?
It's normal for anyone to run away when they've been beaten half to death.
But she keeps taking the beatings. Does she have a problem or not?
She's lying in that bed like a corpse without any hope, motivation, or responses.
Is there a chance that she could be suffering from depression or not?
- There is. - Then should we counsel her or not?
- Yes, we should. - If you know, then get moving.
Go.
Senior Jo? What's with that text you sent me earlier?
Why am I going on a talk show?
Hey, Hye Soo.
It's just that I've been asked for an emergency consult today.
Senior Jo, do you consult your patients while lying in bed at home?
Listen to you.
No, I don't consult my patients while lying in bed at home.
I'm sitting in my chair at the hospital.
Which phone are you calling me from right now?
Hey, Hye Soo. Give me a break just this once.
This is the first time seeing my wife in two years since we started living apart
and she's hopping back on a plane in two hours.
So how can I just let her go like that?
I have to give her something to remember me by before she goes.
It's your talk show, so you do it yourself.
Miss Yang Soo Min.
Miss Yang Soo Min!
Miss Yang Soo Min.
Miss Yang Soo Min!
- Honey. - You're not going on the talk show?
Hye Soo says she'll go in my place.
This is the first time I've been angry at you.
I'm going to put an end to you today.
Dong Min.
What did you learn out there? Why are you in such a rush?
When did you get so rough like this?
I'm going to let you teach me some new tricks.
He has Tourette's syndrome.
Just think of it as a unique characteristic.
Just give him a minute.
Miss Yang Soo Min!
Miss Yang Soo Min.
Miss Yang Soo Min!
Sorry, Doctor Ji! She says she doesn't want to do it!
No, it's dangerous! She's suicidal!
Ma'am!
Miss Yang Soo Min!
- Hey, honey. - Help me out here!
It's not even a recording, it's a live broadcast.
The studio has already been set up, and we even have a full live audience.
Ji Hye Soo.
Hey, Ji Hye Soo!
Okay, I'll do it because I love you. Where do I need to go?
Okay, I got it.
Choi Ho!
- How did it go? - She says she'll come.
That's so great!
I can't. We're in a hurry with the rehearsal.
So make it quick, then you can go.
Who's there?
Oops.
I'm sorry, I think I may have gotten lost.
What is everyone doing out there instead of prepping for the show?
No, I don't have a nickname.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Camera number three, adjust your position.
It's Hye Soo. I'll go get her.
Hye Soo!
- Have you been well? - You know the author, Jang Jae Yeol, right?
Yeah, I used to be a fan of his, but not anymore.
Why not?
The novels he's been writing these days are garbage.
He's been writing nothing but garbage thrillers for the past three years.
People eating people, burying them alive, and sawing people into little parts.
I guarantee that there's something wrong with him.
Choi Ho told me that you have a phobia of sex
but I guess you have a phobia of men too.
The precise nature of my diagnosis is
relationship insecurities and a phobia of commitment.
But I bet you'll change your mind once you see him in person.
He seriously is so amazingly hot!
Stop throwing yourself at me. Is he really that good looking?
You're curious, aren't you?
Yes.
Hello, I'm part of the production staff, Lee Min Young.
This is Doctor Ji Hye Soo, and she's the psychiatric specialist who'll be joining you.
Hello, my name is Ji Hye Soo. Pleased to meet you.
I'm the one who should be pleased.
Mr. Jang, I'm a huge fan of yours!
- Can I please have your autograph? - You can't come in here.
Please just one autograph!
I'm sorry, but I'm in the middle of a conversation
so I'll do it after the show's over. Thank you.
Please leave.
But... I was told that you were going to be a man.
You're not disappointed because I ended up being a woman, are you?
Just a tad.
I was expecting a heated debate.
But you're so pretty, and I'm afraid you'll be a distraction.
Author Jang, I will see you on the set in 30 minutes.
- Hye Soo, let's go. - I'll see you in a little bit.
Please don't put too much on.
Ten seconds until we're on air.
Everyone needs to focus.
A huge round of applause, okay?
Five, four, three, two, one!
Zoom in.
On standby. Camera one.
Hello, my name is Kim Hwan, and I'll be your host for the day.
Welcome to Talk Debate, which we'll be a part of for the next hour.
Today's topic of debate is the hidden nature of the human psyche in today's culture.
Are you nervous?
Deep breaths should help.
Breathe in deep through the nose, and breathe out gently through the mouth.
You can just worry about yourself.
Did I do something wrong?
If I have, then I'd like to apologize.
You seem very edgy right now.
Allow me to introduce you to our two special guests
author Jang Jae Yeol, and Dr. Ji Hye Soo.
Please give them a warm round of applause.
Standby.
Camera three, zoom in.
How can we understand the mind frame of criminals who aren't deemed normal?
Author Jang Jae Yeol, who has captured the attention of an audience nationwide
by writing about his fictional characters who are based on the mind frame of...
This cocky jerk is toying with me right now.
An honest talk session with Doctor Ji Hye Soo.
Punishment isn't always the answer.
Sexual deviation is clearly the case of mental disorder...
It's a crime disguised as an illness.
In my book, the culprit ends up dying in the same way he killed his own victims.
Just as he rips his female victim to shreds, that's the way he also dies.
Don't you think that's just another act of crime?
Whether it's an act of crime or punishment, that's for the judge to decide.
But as the author of the book, I don't see that punishment as being too severe.
Doctor Ji Hye Soo...
before you show so much compassion to these sexual predators
perhaps it would be better for you to show some compassion to the victims first?
What do you all think?
What I wanted to portray through my latest project
was how evil a human being can become.
In the end, it's a story of how there's a very fine line that is drawn
between the basic good and evil in humanity.
But there's something I'm curious about.
Can a person deceive a psychiatrist
into thinking that they're suffering from depression?
Yes.
Only if their lies are not by a licensed psychiatrist like myself.
I see.
- So was that difficult to accomplish? - Not if that someone is smart like me.
I think that I'd be able to fool you if I was one of your patients.
Just like a professional athlete who finds a way to fool the drug test
I think I'd be able to pass a blood test or even a lie detector test.
Do you think that all psychiatrists are fools or just me?
Hye Soo's doing well.
There you go. Good job, little brat!
That's our Ji Hye Soo.
- Let's see how he responds to that. - He looks like a cocky little jerk.
- Don't you think? - A total jerk.
Author Jang, I think you need to be more careful with your words
in front of the doctor.
I guess I lost.
She is the psychiatrist after all.
As a humble author, I'll simply take it as defeat.
To all the psychiatrists in the Republic of Korea
I'm just an ignorant novelist with no formal medical training.
So please excuse me.
Are human beings universally good in nature, or are they violent in nature?
Is there a way to prove this heated debate once and for all?
Yes, there is.
Anyone out there who wanted to hurt someone at least once in their life?
Whether it was to hit someone, curse at someone, or kill someone.
Wow, there are a lot of raised hands.
What do you think?
Then those of you with your hands raised right now
if you've ever literally beat someone because of the hate you felt for that person
can you please stand up?
Quite a few.
Let's try this again.
Like the character in Author Jang's books
remain standing only if you've bludgeoned someone to death with an axe
and the rest of you can sit down.
This is what I see as human beings' universal nature.
Then shall we try this again?
Shall we use sexual deviance as an example since Author Jang seems so fond of it?
All the males in the audience.
A random woman out on the street, a female passerby, or your neighbor.
Have any of you ever felt a physical desire for these women?
You can hide your face when you stand up if you'd like.
I think I won this one.
A random woman out on the street, a female passerby, or your neighbor...
Remain standing only if you've cruelly raped these women because of that desire.
I'm sure there aren't any.
Any one of us can have those scary and frightening thoughts in our heads.
But we do not follow those thoughts with an actual physical act.
Like the audience just showed us, the nature of good inside us...
Then you're basically saying that there isn't a problem with my novels?
You've just proved it yourself.
That a basic thought isn't a crime, but it's just innate human nature.
Thus, since my novels are just rambling thoughts of a writer being put to paper
my books are not problematic.
Since you appear to be deeming my books as dangerous, evil, and negative in society.
My new book will be released soon, and I hope all of you will help support it.
What's this?
Dong Min, what did that Author Jang do just now?
That was Ji Hye Soo being knocked down on her butt.
How sad.
I can't believe that brat just lost.
Where are you getting off?
We already passed my stop!
To Doctor Ji Hye Soo, who helped me to see the basic nature of good in people...
I'd like to give her a grateful round of applause.
Thank you. I think you just helped my book sales.
You're not a writer, you're just a book salesman.
Okay.
Please just view Author Jang's books as a source of entertainment
and I hope that all of you believe in the basic good in people.
I'd like to ask everyone one last question.
Both these slips of paper say that you will die.
But the imprisoner lies to his captive.
'One of these says that you'll live, so choose that one and I'll let you live.'
What if I were to tell you to choose for me?
Not possible, only the person trying to survive can choose.
Which one will you choose?
I'll call you when I figure out the answer.
Ask her out! Ask her out!
The bottom line is...
the captive survives.
When things in life get difficult for us
we think there's no way for us to survive in this world.
Just like every one of you out there who doesn't know the answer to this question.
But as a psychiatrist, I will adamantly tell you that it isn't true.
There is always hope, even in the bleakest moments.
If you don't keep a narrow mind like the main character in Author Jang Jae Yeol's novel
and stay more open minded...
then when you're feeling heartbroken, or when you're filled with despair
coming to consult a psychiatrist can give you hope in your attempt to survive.
Thank you.
This has been Dr. Ji Hye Soo, a psychiatrist
and bestselling author Jang Jae Yeol.
Please give them both a huge round of applause.
Sorry, but I don't do autographs.
Dr. Ji Hye Soo.
May I speak to you?
You did great today. You were awesome out there.
Wow, you have a knack for talk shows. Want to come back and do it again?
Are you bored these days? You want a fight?
- Want to go to a coffee shop? - I can't. I have to get back right away.
Author Jang asked you to wait for him.
I never told him that I would.
- So you're just leaving? - What else would I do?
What are you doing in the middle of the street?
You know that it's coming up to our 300th day soon, right?
I got us a hotel room.
You can't avoid me then.
You remember the promise you made me, right?
Wait.
Driver, can you please go?
Wait!
Wait...
Producer Choi, can you tell me what her phone number is?
She'll kill me if I do. And she has a boyfriend.
No, I doubt that.
Oxytocin, which is a chemical a human being produces when they're in love
has never been produced in that woman's body in her life.
She's way too uptight for that. I can guarantee it.
He's nothing but a narcissist who thinks that the sun revolves around him.
Just shake it off and zip up.
Don't just stand there when you don't even have to pee.
My novel is almost finished.
It's no joke. It's really entertaining. A total killer.
You should take a look.
I doubt it'll be anything impressive. Enough of that.
Do you know the answer to the question that the doctor posed earlier?
- You looked like you knew. - Of course, I know.
What is it?
Give my novel a read.
Tell me the answer, and I'll take a look at it.
So what's the answer?
I don't know.
No need to cringe.
Is your father still beating you these days?
After what you said...
I've been working out these days.
So that I can avoid the beatings.
One, two. One, two...
One, two. One, two. One, two, three, four...
Send me your novel. But this is the last review I'll give.
Really?
If it turns out to be boring, then I'm throwing it in the trash.
Two pieces of paper with the promise of death written on both...
Must choose one of the two.
You're told to choose the one promising life.
What's the answer?
You know I'm not making this up. That's what you told me.
'Ho Gwol, I'm scared of the operating table.'
'That's why I'm choosing psychiatry so that
I can still be a doctor without having to get blood on my hands.'
'You're so impressive, Ho Gwol. You're so amazing, Ho Gwol.'
You scoundrel, I can't believe you still remember that.
- That's enough. - What do you mean, that's enough?
- I'm just getting warmed up. - Hey, you should stop those two.
If left alone, Ho Gwol will tear Jo Dong Min into little pieces.
Why would I?
If Ho Gwol doesn't do it, then I'll tear Dong Min into little bits myself.
It's nice to have all our juniors here with us.
Make sure that you all choose psychiatry as your specialty.
Okay, cheers!
Hey, all you juniors. I bet you don't know this.
That these two used to be married, but now they're divorced.
Hey, you're stepping out of line.
You guys should've seen how they used to fight when they were still married.
They're both psychiatrists, and in the middle of the hospital
'You're a psycho!' or 'you're a mental case!'
They were screaming and shouting so loud. They caused quite the scene.
- Well... - That's all in the past for us.
After that incident, they got called in by their own respective supervisors
and were recommended to seek psychiatric help for themselves.
I remember what their supervisors said.
'I trained you to be doctors so that you could treat other mental patients'.
'But you guys are the real crazy ones!'
Bastard, I told you that was enough.
I'm sick of seeing the same old scene. I'll get going.
Soo Kwang, where are you?
What are you going to do about it? Are you going to punch me or something?
That's right, I'm a doctor who heals people with wounded hearts
but my own heart was wounded, so I sought some counseling.
So what are you going to do about it?
Just because you treat cancer patients, are you exempt from getting cancer yourself?
And just because you treat patients with a cold
are you exempt from catching a cold yourself?
And neuro, are you exempt from brain tumors?
That's enough, Dong Min. He's going through a tough time these days.
Her and I getting divorced is a painful part of our past.
Does it make you happy to aggravate and poke fun at someone else's pain?
If I were to laugh at an oncologist because he got diagnosed with cancer
would that be funny?
Hey.
- He has stomach cancer. - Really?
You bastard...
I... I seriously had no idea.
Hey!
Ho Gwol!
Hey, Ho Gwol!
Ho Gwol!
Okay, juniors! Don't mind your seniors!
Come on, and get up here. Everybody stand up!
Why would you be drinking when you have cancer?
I just had a beer, jerk.
How far has it spread?
I was lucky to have caught it still in its early stages, so there's a good prognosis.
I might be able to have it surgically removed without requiring chemotherapy.
- Also, it's in an easy spot to get to. - You rascal, you had me scared to death!
You really had me scared there for a minute!
Give that back!
- My wife wants a divorce. - Here, drink.
Dying is better than going through a divorce.
Drink some more.
Author Jang.
My treat for the release of your new book.
Thanks.
- Have you seen my publisher? - No, I haven't.
Author Jang!
I can't believe that we ran into you here!
Author Jang's buying this round.
Thank you.
It's a clear case of plagiarism.
The gender of the characters were changed, and the locales were changed.
Instead of being a classic thriller, it's now just a comic thriller.
Dammit! This is insane!
How could he have copied his girlfriend's work like this?
Call a lawyer, and give Jae Yeol a call.
- Do you still want to distribute the books? - Do it.
We'll deal with it directly!
I choose...
this one.
If this one means death, then the one I chose must mean life.
A trick answer to your trick question.
Bingo.
Don't disappoint me by just leaving like this.
Sorry.
Don't sweat it.
You bitch!
I'm going to kill you!
Byun Suk! Byun Suk, calm down!
- No, don't do it! - What the hell are you doing!
Don't do it!
Calm down! You need to calm down!
I'm never going back to the hospital.
Never!
- She's the devil! - Byun Suk!
Are you okay? We need to get you to the hospital!
Author Jang!
Author Jang, are you okay?
- That damn woman! - Author Jang!
- Byun Suk! - What is Byun Suk doing out of the hospital?
- I was his doctor in charge. - He was cleared to go home for a week.
Please call and notify his family members.
The crazy asshole!
Author Jang?
I need to borrow your car.
Byun Suk!
Hey!
What the hell is your deal?
Follow that taxi over there.
Why would I?
That man is a mental patient.
He could get into an accident and kill someone.
Come on, do something good for humanity.
Hurry!
There's the cab over there! Hurry!
- Are you normal? - What?
If that man is a mental case, then are you normal yourself?
Wouldn't it be better for yourself to think that way?
Yes, my name is Ji Hye Soo from the Psychiatric Department at Hankkuk Hospital.
I'm chasing a schizophrenic patient who's stolen a vehicle and is on the run.
The cab number is...
His girlfriend called?
Yes, you can give out my number, and connect me to 911 as well please.
Thank you.
Dr. Kim. This is an emergency.
Remember the patient, Kim Byun Suk?
He's on the run in a stolen vehicle, and I'm chasing him down right now.
I need you to get me some Haloperidol or some Lorazepam.
How is that schizophrenic such a good driver? He's like a race car driver.
- He's taking the exit to Kyunggi-do. - Then we have to get off too.
Wow, you're so shameless. Is that a request or an order?
Come to highway 65 in Kyunggi-do.
Call his family and tell them that this is urgent.
Okay.
But you said that he was your patient. So why was he beating you?
Did you do something wrong?
No other reason. He's just mentally unstable.
Don't ask me anymore questions. It's doctor-patient confidentiality.
Blow.
It's just that I saw you drinking earlier.
We need to sit down and have a long talk after we catch that man.
Okay?
- How many fingers am I holding up? - Why? Do I look like one of your patients?
- How many? - Four. So what?
Don't talk in informal speech to me, and tell me if your vision starts to blur.
Yes, you're Byun Suk's girlfriend?
Did he not take his medication?
This would not be happening if he had taken his medication.
I see... because he couldn't have sex?
A little bit more patience, and they could've had all the sex they wanted.
Why? Someone can't have sex?
So when did he stop taking his medication?
Hold on tight.
We're running out of road, and I'm getting too tired to keep this up.
Let's do this!
- No, stop it! - Hold him down!
Devils!
Calm down!
I can't see his veins!
- Did you get the Lorazepam? - Yes.
Flip the patient over, and get out of the way.
Flip him over!
I'm going to give you some sedatives. You need to calm down.
Byun Suk, it's okay now. It's okay.
You're going to start to calm down.
Byun Suk, it's okay. It's okay.
Byun Suk, calm down, okay?
Please transport him to the hospital.
Contact his family members, and don't forget to monitor his vitals.
Okay.
Thank you for all your help.
Yes, are you Byun Suk's guardian?
Yes, I did find him.
He's being safely transported to the hospital right now.
You just whipped down a man's pants.
We can't leave.
We have no gas. The gas light has been on for a while now.
We'll stall on the road.
Is this 911?
I have a patient with a blunt injury to his head.
We're at the stone quarry off of Highway 65.
Yes.
You're a good liar.
Is that your method of hitch hiking?
It wasn't a lie. I was telling the truth.
Close your eyes.
- My eyes? - Close them like this.
What are you trying to do?
What for?
You'll find out soon enough.
This is rather a bit sudden... but I think I like your style.
- What should I do? - What do you mean, what should you do?
I don't think you're going to like this.
Okay, open your eyes.
Sit down.
What is this?
What's going on here?
It's just a simple laceration. About a centimeter long?
When I hit you earlier in my attempt to stop you...
Assaulting someone in an attempt to save someone else's life
can't be prosecuted by the law. You know that, right?
Bend your head forward again.
- Can you open this for me? - Wow, you really are something else.
How long have you known that I was hurt?
Maybe since the moment it happened?
Endure it just a little bit longer.
What are you thinking about?
- How I'm going to get my revenge. - Such a dirty mind you have.
I can't do this. Can you help me hold this?
Wait.
What's wrong with your arm?
My patient kicked me on the shoulder earlier.
But I'm fine. Let me try to get...
Ms. Ji Hye Soo.
Ji Hye Soo.
The rest of the women in this world need to know what a gentleman I really am.
You still did all that with your arm like that.
Seeing you in the sunlight... you really are kind of cute.
But... where is that emergency vehicle?
Just where in the world am I?
This situation... wasn't all bad.
Right?

----
Don't you remember?
The woman who wouldn't back down to you on that talk show.
I told you that I really wanted to talk to you.
Oh my God.
He keeps insisting that his little brother killed her even though he didn't?
- Separate rooms? - Separate rooms.
If you just barge into my room, then I'm going to barge into your room too.
I'm Park Soo Kwang. Age 28, and I'm a real man.
What an interesting life.
Do you have to kiss and hug each other when you guys hang out?
I wonder if anyone in the world other than me could care less about sex.
- I saw those two kissing at the station. - Do you take me as a joke?
I was just going to let it go, but I'm suddenly itching for a fight.
Whether you decide to stay here or decide to leave
starting tomorrow, it's war.
Is your head telling you that you want me?
