(Mary Kills People)

(October 15, 2024)

I, Choi Kang-yoon,

am now about to end my life.

This entire process is my choice,

and at this moment,

I am very happy and satisfied.

(Benponarbital)

If you're not ready,

you don't have to do it today.

You can postpone it.

- You can stop here. - No.

Before the pain comes again,

I want to go now.

It's champagne with Benponarbital.

It's so simple.

How long will it take?

Usually,

it's over in an instant.

Yes, he's gone.

Let's get out of here.

I know you insisted on coming, but this place is too risky.

His family comes and goes often,

and the house has quite a few security cameras.

Choi Kang-yoon said he felt most at peace here.

It's euthanasia, isn't it?

One should be at peace, right?

Honey, I'm home.

They didn't have the melon you said you wanted,

so I had to go a bit far.

Honey, are you asleep?

You said she'd be gone for at least two hours.

I don't know what happened. He said he sent her far away.

Hurry, pack up.

We can't leave anything behind.

Okay, just a second.

Hey, hey, where's the envelope? The enve...

Here.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Something must have gone wrong.

- What are you doing? - I have to save him.

It might take some time,

but since we used Benponarbital, he'll eventually pass away.

Just do it.

I'm sorry.

(Episode 1)

How can someone suddenly come back to life?

This has never happened before.

Was there a problem with the Benponarbital?

I got it from the same place.

The problem wasn't the Benponarbital, it must have been the drug before it.

Did you mess up the initial sedation?

No.

Until he drank the champagne with the Benponarbital,

his condition was perfectly under control.

His body temperature dropped enough. There was no problem.

I need to check the Benponarbital.

Right here.

He really had no pulse.

This is a pulse.

No matter how faint, if this is moving, he's alive.

I may have lost my license, but I still know that much.

He really didn't have a pulse earlier.

He's an athlete.

Maybe the dose was too small for his large frame?

That's why I said we should use an injection, right?

You know it too.

Injecting it right into the vein is the surest way.

No.

You agreed to it too.

The patient has to make the final choice.

And if there are needle marks,

we could also be in danger.

- The chance of an autopsy increases. - I know, but...

I know that much.

Next time, pick a safer place.

You can't just agree to everything the client wants.

Today was way too risky.

It's cold. I think I'm going to catch a cold.

Geez, where are we going? Oh, here?

Jae-yeon, if you haven't eaten, want to have dinner together?

Did you go to my aunt's seminar with her?

No, I just gave her a ride because I figured she'd be tired.

Even if you try that hard,

it won't make my aunt suddenly develop feelings for you.

Wow.

Jae-yeon, you're a pretty cruel one.

Jae-yeon, in my whole life,

I've confessed to girls and never once been rejected.

You know what the secret is?

I only asked out girls who I thought would say yes. See?

So don't worry.

I just came because I really didn't want to eat alone.

What's that?

Hey, Kim Jae-yun!

Eat it later. We'll boil them for you.

It's fine. Kids eat a little dirt while growing up.

I'll drain your ascites. (Ascites: buildup of fluid in the abdomen)

But sir,

you can't just leave when you feel better like last time.

It's incurable. I don't want to spend any more money.

Just take this out for me.

I need to check your blood pressure and albumin levels.

It could be dangerous if you just leave it.

(Albumin: A type of protein found in the blood. Low levels can be a sign of liver or kidney problems.)

Okay.

This nurse will do it for you. You saw her last time, right?

- Oh. - Doc...

You said he was in pain because of me last time.

I'll do it.

And Doctor, there's a patient with a high fever over there.

Okay.

Doctor.

Even if you're busy, you should go to the hairdresser. Okay?

Goodness.

(Exclusive VIP Invitation Venue: Grander Penthouse.)

(Check Completed.)

Oh, wow!

Woohoo!

She kind of has it, right?

You're hilarious.

Hello!

Looking for me?

- Hi. - Oh, hi.

Go wait over there.

Give it a rest, will you?

- Just take it easy. - I know, right?

It's not for my health, but I should cut back because of the money.

If money's the problem, you could invest with my company.

With my stocks, I can make you enough to buy your stuff.

Man, your drug prices are so high.

But is your company doing okay these days?

All the stocks looked bad.

I just do it because I'm bored.

You think I do it for the money?

The problem is those kids who lose money and whine about it.

But as for them...

I can just appease them with this.

Like this.

I see.

Great!

- Do you have any today? - What?

Do you have any today?

You've got a nose like a dog.

You came because you knew I had some?

Yes.

Hello.

You've gotten prettier.

What's gotten prettier about me?

I need more Benponarbital.

Got a new lover?

Didn't you say you were taking all the Benponarbital yourself?

For someone doing that, you look way too healthy.

That's because...

it's because you diluted the drug with water.

I made a deal with you because you said you wouldn't pull any tricks.

You sold me this cheap fake, and now you're blaming me?

I diluted it.

I wanted to confirm you weren't reselling the drug.

Is Dr. Choi really the one using that drug?

You gave me that diluted drug because you were suspicious?

You know I hate that kind of thing, right?

I know.

I know all too well, so listen, I have no intention of becoming a drug dealer.

I won't infringe on your business, so give me the real stuff.

What now? Alright.

Fine.

I'll have them put it in your trunk.

I'll give you the real stuff.

I won't even charge you.

Want to try some?

Don't you want to be absolutely sure?

I'll trust you.

Give me the real stuff, okay?

You're a bastard who just performs illegal procedures.

I feel like the head nurse is watching me.

Do you think someone tipped her off?

She watches everyone.

She's the kind of person who thinks reporting the staff's private secrets

to the higher-ups is her special talent.

The police haven't started an investigation, have they?

They were all very sick,

but if someone dies outside a hospital, they usually call the police first.

Even so, there's nothing for you to worry about.

If there's an investigation, they'll start with me.

I'll be more careful.

Who is it this time?

Cho Hyun-woo, 30 years old.

He has a brain tumor, and surgery is impossible.

He tried chemo and radio, but neither worked,

(Chemo: Chemotherapy, Radio: Radiotherapy)

so he has four months at most.

I put Mr. Cho Hyun-woo's medical records in your locker.

He's so young. Has he talked to his family?

He has no family.

He grew up in an orphanage,

and because he was so focused on working hard to get on his feet quickly,

he doesn't really have anyone he knows.

It's a shame,

but I don't think anyone will show up in the middle of it to object.

What is it?

Are you bothered that he has no family?

I'm just wondering if he's giving up too easily because he has no one.

Look at his medical records.

Once you see how severe his pain is,

I think you'll change your mind.

Okay, I'll look them over and let you know.

- This is your share. - Thank you.

Thanks to this, I think I can pay off my debts a little faster.

Though I still have my student loans.

Oh, and I heard from Lee Eun-young.

Do you remember counseling her?

The 80-year-old with kidney failure who wanted to stop her dialysis.

(Renal Failure: The buildup of toxins in the blood when the kidneys stop working properly.)

Yes.

She lost her husband a few years ago

and said she didn't want to suffer any longer.

It's already been two months since she was diagnosed with terminal cancer

and given three months to live.

She contacted me to say she's perfectly ready now.

This is the last of the plum juice.

I was too sick to make any this year.

My goodness, this is so precious.

Don't worry about it. It's fine.

I kept it to serve to guests,

but I don't have any guests coming to my house anymore.

Ah.

Yes.

Yes.

Do you really feel most comfortable at home

as your final place?

My husband's hobby

was taking pictures of our family.

It seems your family loved the beach.

Almost all the backgrounds are the sea.

It's the same sea.

There was a beach not too far from our house.

The kids would beg to go play, but our pockets were light.

At times like that, my husband would take us to that beach.

The sea in those photos

holds all of my happiest memories.

That's why I loved the sea so much.

If you love that sea so much,

you should depart from there.

That's true, but there might be prying eyes there...

No, no, don't worry.

Don't worry about things like that.

Please, tell me what you really, truly, truly want.

Sincerely, anything at all.

In my heart,

I want to go while living my daily life.

To live just as I always have, and pass naturally.

Naturally. Then,

that's what you should do.

You always go for a swim in the morning, right?

You should go there too.

And then,

you can go over there

and depart.

The preparations...

I'll take care of everything.

Would that be alright?

Of course.

The beach? It's too risky.

No.

There are no security cameras facing the beach.

As for the ones by the shops, I think I can find a blind spot.

It'll be early when she gets back from her morning swim, so there'll be no one around.

My,

you're looking better today.

Are your legs feeling better?

Yes, much better.

Oh, that's good to hear.

My grandson is coming, so I'll be leaving for today.

Go on ahead.

See you next Friday.

Take care. Look after your health.

Alright, I will.

I'm off. Bye.

Did you have a good swim?

Yes.

I said my last goodbyes to my friends.

It was nice.

I'm a very fortunate person

to decide my own end like this.

How many people get to do that?

Thank you for coming here.

Don't mention it.

Dr. Woo is a truly excellent physician, but her social skills are a bit lacking.

How should I put it... her communication skills.

She's not very observant.

There was a slight hitch in selecting the location.

We were late, but I'm so glad we found this perfect place.

I'm overjoyed.

If my social skills are lacking, does that mean I'm deaf?

You heard me?

Are you mentally prepared?

When you get to my age, death isn't so frightening.

Over there, compared to here,

there are more people that I know.

I believe

that the place where the people I love are living

is heaven.

She's definitely gone.

I didn't lose my medical license

because I can't check a pulse, okay?

She must have met her husband by now.

Let's get going. People will be here soon.

Don't worry.

They'll think she came to the beach and had a heart attack.

Oh, wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Whoa.

Wow, Daegu Jiri (clear broth soup).

If it's jiri,

I bet it's a killer (jiranda) soup, huh?

Jiri is a clear soup.

But if you just call it "clear soup,"

doesn't it sound kind of tasteless?

Should we go have a bowl each to confirm?

Did you check the Benponarbital we used on Mr. Kang-yoon?

Oh, that.

I checked it, and there was something a bit off.

The seal was slightly broken too.

But it won't happen again. I took care of it.

Are you sure? Who's the seller?

You don't need to know. It's more dangerous if you do.

I made sure this won't happen again.

He won't be able to pull any tricks.

We just confirmed it a moment ago.

That there's nothing wrong with the drug.

Let's switch seats. I'll drive from here.

I just told you.

In case something happens, we need to have eaten to establish an alibi.

In case something happens, we'll say our plans changed.

That can happen.

Get out, quickly. I have to meet someone right now.

I guess that could happen.

Chief.

Assemblyman Baek is here.

He came to hear about the progress of the investigation.

He was famous for being a mad dog when he was a prosecutor.

Now that his own kid is dead, he must have lost his mind.

You're here, sir.

We have a suspect, so why the delay?

We need concrete evidence, sir.

My Hyun-seung...

he could have lived for another year.

The clinical trials

and other treatments, we were looking into them.

I know this is difficult to bear, sir,

but catching them in the act is the best way.

My son...

he just left so suddenly, without a goodbye.

This...

is murder.

I promise you, sir.

We will catch the culprit and ensure they are punished.

They give patients Benponarbital and help them die?

This is a psychopath. Damn, crazy bastards.

If you just wait a little longer,

we'll get definitive evidence at the scene of an euthanasia

and we will,

we will definitely arrest them.

Finish the investigation within the month.

Or you're taking off your uniform.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

Victim, Baek Hyeon-seung

Are you alright?

So you had him deliver to this bench?

Yes.

He said he was working,

so I told him I'd have it delivered and to come here.

What's this?

He has no family.

So that's why you were more concerned?

If you have no family, it's easier to give up.

But it doesn't look like he's giving up easily.

He fits all your criteria.

Incurable, according to three or more doctors.

An unbearable physical disability.

Pain that cannot be controlled with drugs.

Wow, a man who might die soon

is making deliveries. Jeez.

- Are you Cho Hyun-woo? - Yes.

Dr. Woo?

- Here's your order. - Thank you.

I saw your medical records.

It must be very difficult for you.

Excuse me,

what did Ye-na tell you about us?

She said you provide counseling.

That you give different advice than ordinary people.

Through meetings like this,

we try to find out what the patients truly want,

and we look for ways to help them together.

I heard you provide the kind of help one can get in Switzerland.

Well, it's not exactly "help." We do charge a fee.

Of course, it's much more affordable than Switzerland.

It's cheaper.

Yes. Ye-na mentioned the fee to me.

I can afford it.

That's why I'm working.

If it's about the money, it would be better for you to quit your job.

I saw your brain MRI.

Soon, no painkiller will be able to handle the pain.

It's dangerous for you to be working.

I have to pass this interview today for you to help me, don't I?

I heard you don't help everyone unconditionally.

I need to examine your medical records more closely.

Don't worry about passing.

Yes, I've seen your file.

Your condition already more than meets the criteria...

Yes, I will review it as carefully as possible.

Whatever the result, please let me know.

I'm used to rejection.

I'll be going now.

I wanted to buy that for you earlier,

but you had already paid.

So please take this instead.

No, it's alright.

It's nothing.

I was supposed to deliver it, but it got damaged because I was in a hurry.

It should still taste the same.

This is to thank you for meeting me today.

Thank you.

Wow. A man who came saying he wants to die

gives a 'Thank you for being born' cake.

How ironic.

(Thank you for being born.)

Soccer Player Choi Kang-yoon.

Have you seen the news of his death?

A terminally ill patient dying sooner than expected,

and if there's a case of death outside a hospital,

I told them to contact me.

A report on this player came up.

"Serenity"

(Cost of Euthanasia in Switzerland.)

What are you looking for?

Why are you at my house?

To go to school together.

And I have something I want to talk about.

That thing.

Thanks for saying it was yours.

Ah.

I said I'd hold onto it for you.

But you...

why did you agree to my request back then?

We're not even that close, really.

What about you?

Why did you ask me?

Since we're not close.

That's because...

I just had a feeling you would grant my request.

It was just a feeling.

Want to come to my house after school?

If you're busy today, tomorrow's fine too.

Instead, how about we have a sleepover?

You've never had one?

I've invited friends over a few times.

It was fun just staying up all night doing our makeup.

What do you think?

With me.

Why?

I just thought it would be fun to stay up all night together.

I'll... I'll think about it.

Okay.

But what are you looking for?

Want me to help you find it?

My little sister has a swim class with flippers.

Why do you keep drugs here?

Is your aunt on drugs or something?

No. My aunt doesn't do things like that.

She's a doctor.

My mom said that there are some doctors who get hooked on drugs.

She's even defended people like that.

She said they have more opportunities since they handle drugs.

Benponarbital.

Let's just put it back and find the flippers.

We're going to be late.

Okay, I'll put it back.

But I'm really curious about what kind of person your aunt is.

Found them. Your little sister's flippers.

I will now announce our school's college admission results for this year.

We will begin with early admissions.

Please display the screen.

Student A, with a GPA of 1.2...

Take a picture even if you don't need to.

The other mothers say Jae-yeon is arrogant because she's a good student.

Ah, okay.

I'm Woo-mi's mother.

We're next-door neighbors. You didn't know, did you?

Oh, hello. I'm Jae-yeon's aunt.

It's understandable you wouldn't know.

Woo-mi is in dance and Jae-yeon is in art.

Besides, they weren't that close before.

It seems they've gotten much closer these past few days.

That dad must be very curious about you.

Who is he?

His daughter is Jae-yeon's rival.

Jae-yeon is solidly number one, with a 1.1 GPA.

His daughter is a 1.3.

So you can imagine how curious that dad must be about you.

He's also the head of the school's anti-bullying committee.

He's extremely interested in his child's education.

I heard he's a police officer.

Guess he's not busy, since he comes to every school event.

This is a condom found in Jae-yeon's locker.

- That's mine. - Pardon?

Ah.

Jae-yeon and I share clothes sometimes, so...

Ma'am.

This was found in Jae-yeon's school gym uniform.

But...

do you still do personal belonging inspections these days?

No.

We were replacing the lockers and it just happened.

But a condom was just found on your child,

and that's what you're curious about?

Well,

if she has a boyfriend and there's a chance of pregnancy,

I think being prepared in advance is the more sensible choice.

Yes.

Even if what you say is correct, ma'am,

there's no possibility of that happening at school,

so isn't it right that she shouldn't bring it?

Surely Jae-yeon

wasn't planning on doing that at school.

Yes.

Please explain it to her properly

so she doesn't bring it to school again.

- That was delicious. - Jae-yun.

Did you have your meeting?

Yes.

The thing the homeroom teacher showed you...

That...

It isn't mine.

It's okay if it is yours.

I think it's better to be prepared just in case.

- I'm serious. - I really...

I don't need anything like that.

Liking someone is not a bad thing.

I'm done eating.

Wow, he wore these during the World Cup. Wow.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon.

We're from the Bunseong Police Agency's Metropolitan Investigation Unit.

You're player Choi Kang-yoon's wife, correct?

Your husband received treatment here at Bunseong General Hospital, didn't he?

But at the end, he was discharged and stayed at a villa.

Was there, by any chance, a problem with the hospital?

No.

Everything was fine with the people at the hospital.

They were kind.

They were very considerate, saying they were fans.

He went home

after his illness progressed

and it was confirmed that treatment was no longer possible.

My husband said he wanted to spend his remaining time with his family,

so that's what he did.

But the hospital expected him to live for a year,

or at least another six months.

Didn't you find it a bit strange that he passed away so suddenly?

If you knew how much he suffered,

I don't think you would say something like that.

His funeral procession is today, isn't it?

Please postpone the interment at the family burial plot for a while.

Your husband put in a lot of effort to obtain euthanasia.

He used social media and email to try and acquire the drug.

We've confirmed all the evidence.

Especially Benponarbital.

This drug, famous for providing a painless death,

he persistently tried to acquire it.

Were you aware of this?

Yes, I happened to find out by seeing my husband's emails.

He tried,

but as far as I know, he failed.

If we were to perform an autopsy,

we expect the results to show traces of Benponarbital.

Then a full-scale investigation will begin,

and if the media finds out about this,

the wife, who stands to receive a large insurance payout,

could be the first to be suspected.

I know.

I know it wasn't you. You have nothing to hide, right?

Let's just do an autopsy.

Before the media starts talking about this,

we need to confirm where your husband got the Benponarbital.

That...

almost sounds like a threat, telling me to do as you say.

Jeez.

A threat?

I'm requesting your cooperation.

You know who it is, don't you?

She consented to the autopsy.

They just turned the car around on the way to the procession.

Over here!

The kids are all over here.

Come on.

- Auntie, you're here? - Yes.

Jae-yun, do you want to eat first?

What should I give you?

Here.

Thank you for looking after the kids.

It was just a delivery.

If you haven't eaten, please join us. I ordered a lot.

Oh, okay.

Woo-mi and Jae-yeon wanted to have a sleepover at our house today.

You haven't given permission yet, have you?

Oh.

Hello.

Can we have a sleepover tonight?

Please.

I've been preparing for a performance at school,

and I've been really stressed.

I want to stay up all night with Jae-yeon and gossip to let off some steam.

Please take good care of my Jae-yeon.

Don't worry.

Did you hear what my mom said earlier?

Isn't it hilarious?

She thinks it's not dangerous because there are no adult men.

She must think just women being together is not dangerous at all.

Right?

So simple-minded.

She acts like she knows everything,

but she actually knows nothing.

Right?

I know.

You have really beautiful eyes.

(Test Result Report)

Whatever the result, please let me know.

I'm used to rejection.

Motorcycle accident patient.

The external trauma isn't severe, but he's complaining of extreme pain.

He keeps saying he wants to go home and is refusing treatment,

so we haven't even been able to check his vitals.

You're in big trouble!

Calm down.

Cho Hyun-woo?

Oxygen mask.

(Terminal Cancer: An incurable, end-stage cancer with no chance of a cure.)

(Brain Tumor: A mass of abnormal cells growing in the brain.)

Terminal cancer with a brain tumor.

Do you know this patient?

He's a patient I saw at the volunteer priest's clinic.

I think he used the wrong narcotic painkiller.

I'll take over here, you can go.

When was the last time you took a painkiller?

It's no use.

No drug works on me.

Morphine? Targin? Oxycodone? What was it?

I can only help if you tell me the type and time of dosage.

You know my condition.

I just took whatever I could, whenever.

We need to sedate him. Order some Ativan.

(Ativan: An anti-anxiety drug.)

Yes, I will.

I told you not to ride a motorcycle.

Has the pain gotten worse?

I think the disease has been progressing faster lately.

Glioblastoma progresses quickly.

(Glioblastoma: The most common and severe type of cancerous tumor that begins in the brain.)

Even a single new tumor can be dangerous.

Please just let me go.

The painkillers don't work anyway.

If you leave like this, you'll collapse again.

I'll prescribe you a different painkiller.

I don't need any more painkillers.

I have a crazy amount of them at home.

Tell me now.

What drug did you take?

Contact Wanju General Hospital

and check what painkillers they prescribed

for patient Cho Hyun-woo.

I think he was a patient there before.

Okay.

- Where did patient Cho Hyun-woo go? - What?

Nurse Yoo, where did patient Cho Hyun-woo go?

What? He was sleeping after getting a morphine shot.

Cho Hyun-woo.

Are you alright?

Please help me.

I want to stop.

Stop.

Are you alright?

You really have to quit your job now. It's too dangerous.

Because of hospital bills, I've spent all the money I've saved.

As long as I'm alive, I'll need money somehow.

That's why I'm telling you to stop.

I'll proceed with the consultation.

Thank you.

The man you met before will contact you.

You can just tell him where and how you want to depart.

So until then,

what you truly want to do...

try doing it. Sincerely.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

Choi Dae-hyeon

It's okay.

It's okay.

The Drug-Related Serial Murder Case

Woo So-jeong

2 Years Ago

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

God shines a light upon our hearts.

Trust firmly in God's mercy

and truthfully confess the sins you have committed.

Because of me,

a patient who was receiving treatment in pain for a long time has died.

Because of my own guilt,

I forced treatment on the patient

and I forced them to suffer.

There must be a reason for all that suffering.

Only God would know that reason.

And enduring that suffering is also the fate of human beings.

You did your best to treat them, didn't you?

To only increase the suffering of a patient for whom treatment is impossible...

can that be called treatment?

For whom is that suffering?

I can no longer tell patients

to endure.

I see.

You believe that is your sin.

But while sins may disappear with God's forgiveness,

before that, you must repent.

It is important to have a heart that will not sin again.

Confession is the place to make that resolution.

I didn't come here to confess.

From now on,

I don't want to be someone who turns away from a patient's suffering.

What does that mean?

You don't want to be someone who turns away?

Then what choice will you make?

I am going to leave my faith.

Maria.

I am not Maria anymore.

(Special thanks to actors Son Sook, Lee Sang-yoon, Oh Yeon-ah, and Oh Eui-sik for their special appearances.)

If he knew his drug was being used for such a dangerous purpose,

he wouldn't stand for it.

Who is he going around giving this to?

Why are you doing this?

I believe that people

should be able to choose between life and death.

We help people spend their final moments

in the place they want most.

Why are you suddenly

trying to give up on everything so easily?

I wanted to live.

But not anymore.

It's a traffic accident patient. Another delivery motorcycle.

He's DOA.
