Ki-yeong.

Listen, all right? Now pay attention to what I'm saying.

You see, I want to be on my own without any burdens.

I wanna be free,

so don't worry about me, okay?

Focus on your studies.

I believe I'm owed an explanation here.

It was a while back. You asked me for a pretty unusual favor.

Do you recall?

You wanted to buy some land in the mountains. That's what you said.

I do recall.

So I found you a few options,

but for some reason, you chose one that was packed with wild dogs.

There were so many of them, in fact,

that even the seller was at his wit's end.

He didn't know what to do.

So...

you followed me there?

Well, it was so strange, I got curious.

I'll admit I was torn,

but even then, I couldn't bring myself to call the police,

so the first thing I did was save his life,

because I'm not a murderer.

What if he woke up and reported it to the authorities?

Things didn't work out that way, did they?

He'd suffered so much brain damage, he didn't even know his own name.

So I had him admitted to the hospital under the name of a homeless man I knew.

Hansarang Nursing Home

Just think of it this way:

I did you a favor.

Nothing to get upset about, wouldn't you agree?

Don't worry.

He died three months ago at the nursing home he was transferred to.

Lee Seok-gu

You said it yourself, Dr. Choi. We're the same.

Two sides of the same coin. We can see through each other.

Hyper Knife

Do you want them to go extinct? Enough already.

They're classified as vermin.

I'm just contributing to community safety.

Hey, what's going on with you? What's the matter?

Just talk to me. I tell you everything, you know.

What do you want me to tell you?

Are you serious?

You've been hunting boar non-stop for two days without eating.

What are you doing?

You thought I was a psychopath, remember?

They all kill animals, don't they?

It's obvious you've been sad lately.

Just tell me why.

If all you want to do is stand there and whine, just beat it!

Get lost!

I want you to know something.

You should've told me the truth right away.

All because it's like you've always said. I was pathetic even then!

Donghae Sungsim Hospital

We're doing everything we can, but given the extent of his injuries,

I imagine it's a tough road ahead.

Why do you keep showing me the same thing?

Do you think anything is gonna change?

I told you, this is what happened.

I'm sorry for making you come all this way,

but a man died last night,

and the assailant, Kim Ki-yeong, is in a coma so he can't give his statement.

How is Ki-yeong the assailant here?

Could you tolerate someone who tried to use your missing father to exploit you?

It's despicable.

That guy, he was stringing Ki-yeong along and lying to his face to get the reward.

How many times do I have to say it?

Stop calling. It's getting annoying.

Are you leaving?

Yeah.

Going to the hospital to visit Ki-yeong.

Gonna follow me?

Thank you.

Why did you come here?

You gonna kill Ki-yeong too?

Medical Checkup Center

If he dies, the blood will be on your hands, not on mine.

He ended up like that because you were sticking your nose where it didn't belong.

You haven't learned.

That's how I understand it.

The police found some dog hair on the nurse's clothes.

My hands are getting slower. Slower by the day.

Sooner or later, you're gonna end up on the suspect list.

We don't have much time left.

We're in the same boat, aren't we?

To not be caught by the police,

I'd have to operate on you.

Is that it?

Well, sometimes the things you have to do aren't exactly what you want.

I didn't tell anyone Myeong-jin was there.

No one else knows the truth.

You don't have to worry about the police coming after you.

Dr. Choi,

you really used to be such a great teacher back then.

I really hope we never see each other again.

Neurosurgery Jeong Se-ok

Neurosurgery Jeong Se-ok Yeonshin University

Nurse, murdered Park Mi-ran

Broker, fled to China? Min Hyeon-ju

Doctor? How did they get patients?

I heard that Wan-il disappeared.

Now who'd have the guts to touch one of us?

Who kidnapped him then?

- Hello, Mr. Seong. - Hey.

Hello, sir.

Anything turn up at Wan-il's?

We searched everything, even the fridge. Didn't find anything unusual.

Okay, then.

Gather all the security footage from that night.

Trace where he went when he left the station.

We gotta track him down.

Understood, sir.

Sir, I was wondering, should I look into Min again?

What are you talking about? He's off in China.

Detective Lee thought he was still in the country and he wanted me to look into it.

- When was this? - He told me the last day he was at work,

while we were eating lunch.

Is this the guy, Min?

Yeah, he's a black-market surgery broker.

So it's him? He's the one who got Wan-il?

- Hey, rookie. - Yes?

- Find Min right now. - Yes, sir.

Son of a...!

Illegal Surgery Ring Brain Surgery

- What now? - Just sit tight.

I'll figure this thing out.

- Hello, Detective Seong. - Yeah, hi.

I pulled up the calls he made.

Choi Deok-hui

Yeah, keep up the good work.

Detective Lee Wan-il, the one in charge of this case,

he's nowhere to be found.

And Inspector Yang?

He's super nervous.

It wasn't you guys, right?

I was just asking.

There.

This clown is the one who tipped him off.

Don't you think you should take care of it?

Don't worry.

No one knows yet about your boss' operation.

That's for sure.

A detective going missing for a week?

That's not normal, is it?

No, it isn't.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Tell you what?

That day, Wan-il and you were meeting up.

I got his call log.

You were the last person he called.

Really?

We were supposed to meet up, but I couldn't make it.

I wasn't feeling so well.

Why didn't you mention it to me?

He said he had something to tell me,

and it needed to be private.

I'm a suspect now, is that it?

No, that's not it.

We just gotta investigate it.

Actually, we were getting together because of you.

He said you were taking bribes.

Wan-il, that crazy jerk.

- Why would he talk to you, though? - I don't know.

I was going to tell you about it after listening to what he had to say.

So then, if I may...

You never met Wan-il that night. Is that right?

You mind if I check?

Even if I said I minded, you'd still do it.

One minute.

Yeah.

I'm at Dr. Choi's residence right now.

I've checked the CCTV footage,

and just talked to his butler here.

It seems he went to bed early immediately after he came home from work.

Yes.

You're here alone today?

Yeah.

Look at you. You look like you're on top of the world.

Did your brother leave for good?

Yeah. He was always telling everyone he wanted to go to Seoul, and then he left.

I'm glad to hear he's gone.

By the way, when will the pharmacy open again?

Next month.

I haven't seen Ms. Jeong in a while. She hasn't even been here to eat.

Is she under the weather?

Yeah, I guess she's been feeling sick.

She doesn't seem to want to eat anything.

The police found some dog hair on the nurse's clothes.

They found dog hair, you guys.

What are we gonna do? What do you think?

My hands... They're getting slower and slower by the day.

You aren't out hunting boar tonight?

What are you doing here so late?

Wow, the air's so nice here.

Seo's really worried, so I came over to check up on you.

For the love of...!

What's his deal? He's so annoying.

What's he been babbling about?

He's worried that you're feeling down.

We haven't had any surgeries lately. You can't deny that.

Things aren't looking good, so what should we do?

Honestly, in times like these,

I wanna run away and get locked up.

Locked up? Really?

Yeah, like in a jail.

A jail with only surgery.

I'd wake up every morning and spend the day in the OR,

and after I was done, I'd have dinner.

Then go to sleep.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.

Nothing but operating.

I'd give anything for that kind of life.

I wouldn't have to do anything else ever.

No worries. I'd have everything I'd need.

A life sentence hopefully.

You have to know that Seo and I both would follow you.

Willingly. Life sentence and all.

However, our reasons for going would be different.

I'd agree to go as a doctor.

That's the road I've chosen to follow,

and ultimately we're heading in the same direction.

But Seo, he'd go there just to follow you.

He'd be loyal to the very end. No questions asked.

Do you see the difference?

That's Seo.

That young man has a kind heart.

He cares for you.

I brought some painkillers, but I'm not sure if this will be enough.

Did you eat today?

Your clothes are drenched in sweat.

You should go and change now.

Dr. Jeong, could you hand me his pajamas back there?

Thanks.

Oh, right. Sorry.

That's Dr. Jeong Se-ok. She'll be coming by from time to time.

You ever had a job before?

Associate, chief, manager... Which one do you like?

I think I like manager, actually.

Yeah, let's go with that.

You know what I like most about you?

I heard you don't have any parents.

I used to work in a hospital but now I'm in pharmacy school.

I'll get my own soon.

Some adorable dogs too.

So this big boy, this tumor here...

It's growing from your skull, and when it gets bigger like yours did,

it gives you a huge lump like that.

The one inside your head right now, that one's malignant.

It's a messed-up one.

I don't want surgery. I told you.

Why? Is it money?

We already said we'd do it for free.

Gosh.

Hey.

You're actually tired of living. Is that it?

You just want to die peacefully in your bed.

Did I nail it?

But it isn't gonna be all that peaceful.

You haven't felt anything bad yet.

Soon no amount of painkillers will help.

The lump will only get bigger,

and you'll have all these splitting headaches every day.

Not to mention the vomiting.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

What should I do, then?!

If you go out like this,

it'll be a slow death, so you'll be in pain a long time.

Now if you die during surgery, it's all over in a second.

We put you to sleep, and then you just don't wake up.

That's it.

Could you imagine?

How easy is that?

I mean, you wanted to die peacefully. It's better this way.

I'll take care of it, okay?

You promised.

You'll take care of it?

Of course.

- Let's get started. - Okay.

Here.

I want my thanks.

Why don't you sing me something?

Where's my song?

Let's hear it.

I'm not kidding.

Medicine

Hello.

We actually haven't re-opened just yet.

You alone?

That's good then.

Hey, come out here. I want you to try this.

Are you still sulking in there?

I said, are you still sulking?

Yeah.

Hey, where were you all last night?

I slept at the pharmacy after I cleaned up. Why?

What do you mean, "why"?

I have this juice I made for you.

Hurry back here.

You can have it. I'm in class right now.

Wait, you have class today?

Yeah. I got to go.

What the heck?

Why?

Hey, it seems all the classes are letting out.

Why aren't you coming down?

You're at the academy? Why?

Thought we could get dinner together.

I'm going to the movies with some friends from class.

Movies?

Yeah, that's right. We're about to go in now.

I can't talk anymore, okay?

Knowing her, she'll keep calling.

You should probably just turn it off. She can be pretty obsessive about things.

Hey, let's get this over with.

You killed her, right?

- No, I didn't. - Then who did?

- Was it your boss? - Ms. Se-ok is a doctor.

Why would a doctor kill someone?

She's not just a doctor though, is she?

Why are you doing this? It wasn't me.

Hey. There were only three of you there that day,

and my guy said he didn't do it,

so it has to be one of you two.

You wanna keep stringing me along like this,

or should I just call your boss myself?

- Welcome. - Can I get a combo, please?

Here you go.

She's here to watch a movie.

When's the last time you've gone out?

We'll need meat, won't we?

I guess so.

Get a good cut.

Beef, 50% Off

This should be good enough, right? It's not for people.

- We have more of that. - No thanks. Not this one.

Korean sirloin, please.

Your best cut.

Ulsan - Geochang - Pohang

This info stays between us.

No one can find out I told you.

If it gets back to Min, he'll kill me.

Don't worry, you're safe with me.

Just give me his number.

Keep your word.

Appreciate it. Go.

Hi. It's Inspector Yang.

Special Investigations Unit.

I'd like to chat for a bit.

Oh, yeah.

I know who you are.

How did you get my number?

Now why would he do that?

He would never. Absolutely not.

Actually, you can ask yourself. He's right here.

One moment, please.

This is Choi Deok-hui.

Hey, Dr. Choi.

I heard you left for China. I guess I was mistaken.

Well honestly, that's not really any of your concern.

I just got off the phone with Yang Dong-yeong...

from the Special Investigations Unit.

I'm pretty bothered about it, actually.

Why did he call? What exactly did he say?

Did you leak my number, Doctor?

No.

I don't have it.

I never asked for it.

I can't help you unless you tell me what's going on here.

Why don't you start with what Yang said to you?

That moron is basically writing a novel at this point.

Spouting some garbage about a huge black-market surgery ring causing trouble.

Now he's saying they murdered a nurse,

and kidnapped one of the detectives or whatever.

He'll let me off the hook if I tell him everything I know.

Mr. Min, you don't know a thing about it, anyway.

You're really doubting me? I know quite a lot.

Like that Ms. Jeong.

Yeah, I know about your precious student.

You're still looking for that crazy girl.

I've agreed to meet with Yang later. I'll bet you're a little interested now?

We should meet first.

I'll think about it.

What's going on?

Dr. Choi!

Yang. It's me.

Where are you? Can you meet with me?

I didn't expect you to call first like this.

No, I can't today, because I'm booked.

Come on, I'll go to you. Where are you?

I really can't. You'd be a third wheel.

Who are you gonna see? I said I can come to you.

We'll talk later. Bye.

I'm a suspect now, is that it?

Is it?

- Kim, hold on. - Yes?

Besides the three of us here,

does anyone know we're seeing Min today?

No one else knows, sir.

Right.

Yeah, sorry I'm late.

I didn't want to show up here empty-handed, that's all.

It's okay. I just got here myself.

Darn it, look at this place.

No one ever comes here besides me, anyway.

Kick up your feet. Make yourself at home.

I was already getting tired of bouncing around motels.

Now I get to live in luxury, thanks to you.

So when were you planning on going to China?

Well, I need to find a ship again and stuff,

so we'll see.

Hey.

To get into med school with the highest score at 17 years old,

just how high must your IQ be?

Ace neurosurgeon at Yeonshin University, Jeong Se-ok.

I was shocked when I found out who she was.

Man, that chick has some real stones,

doing black-market brain surgery, you know?

Han Hyeon-ho. Know the guy?

He's probably working like crazy right now trying to clean up after her.

It's a shame he partnered with her.

Guy should've just worked for me instead.

So what's the plan?

What are you going to do if you meet Yang?

Well, that depends.

I have to see what kind of deal they're offering, you know?

Nothing about it is set in stone yet.

He says they'll drop all the charges against me and whatnot,

which sounds nice, but I can't trust those jerks.

I know the guy pretty well.

His word is worthless.

That's the kind of guy he is.

So what kind are you?

You a man of your word then?

More often than not.

The way things are now, all I gotta do is point out who did the surgeries,

and that'd be enough to put a stupid little smile on their faces.

Did you do her? That Jeong chick.

You totally did!

Just kidding. I'm messing with you.

Take a joke.

But seriously, I just don't understand it.

Well, if it's not about that, then what is it?

Why would you do all this for a girl who tried to kill you?

Here he is.

- Hey, Inspector. You've arrived? - Yeah. Where are you?

I'm here at the spot.

Gosh, and it must've been a long trip too.

I'm sorry, but something really urgent just came up.

Stop messing with me.

I know you're around here somewhere.

I really didn't bring anyone.

Well honestly, I brought the rookie on my team with me.

Come on, let's talk in person.

I do have a lot of info for you, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

I think I'll just irritate you if I keep talking, so I'm hanging up now.

No, wait, Min. Hold on.

Let me think on it a while, then I'll call you back.

- All right, bye. - No, wait, hold on...

That douchebag.

You gotta be kidding me.

Well, I hope...

you don't think about it too long.

I know, I know.

I gotta make a decision soon, don't I?

So yeah, I'll be in touch.

If that's what you want,

that's what we'll do.

But seriously, what's your deal with her?

Is it something that someone like me just wouldn't get?

I'll just say goodbye here.

Hey, yeah, it's me.

Just wanted to share the good news with you.

I think we can go ahead and schedule the surgery now.

Of course he's a big shot. He's at Yeonshin University Hospital.

Yeah, you have nothing to worry about.

Top surgeon in the country. That's right.

Hey! What the heck?

Yes.

So what?

Where do I need to go?

Please have a seat.

You heard about the nurse who was killed, right?

You see, it's putting me in a tough spot.

If the authorities start digging around,

soon enough they'll be able to trace it all back to my men and me,

and we'll take the rap for it.

We needed to know what went down so we could figure out what we're dealing with.

Luckily your friend confessed to everything,

so we got the whole picture from him.

- He said he killed her? - So he claims.

But we all know he doesn't have the guts.

So he's gotta be lying through his teeth.

You clearly have some thoughts.

I think I'm tired of dancing around this.

Just say what you've gotta say.

So it was you. I knew it.

The thing is, I can take care of myself.

This won't cause problems for you, because I already have it all handled,

so stop being dramatic, will you?

You know, I've always been a great judge of character.

Even at first glance, I could tell that...

you're something else.

Sang-gi, the picture.

Okay. So?

What do you want me to do?

You said you won't cause me any problems, right?

So make sure this guy doesn't say another word to the cops.

Ever.

Are we clear?

Well, sometimes the things you have to do aren't exactly what you want.

Wanna move to the Philippines together?

The Philippines? Just like that?

- So listen. I've been thinking... - No, stop it. Stop.

I don't want to hear about what you were thinking.

Hey! Hey, listen to me!

Hey!

Just hear me out!

I don't wanna hear any of your nonsense. The Philippines, really?

I mean, why not? We could open a clinic there.

It's that easy? Where would we get the funds?

The deposit on the home, and money from the pharmacy.

- I hear it's affordable there. - What's going on with you?

Can you come to your senses, please?

I'm just sick of it here. I can't stand it.

So what? You wanna run away?

It's not running away.

Let's just pack up and get outta here!

"My home, my dogs, my work, my diner."

You went on and on about it all being yours.

You even killed someone for that diner, and now you just wanna go?

You said it! You said you'd follow me anywhere I went.

Did I now?

I can't just follow you anywhere.

I thought you would. You wouldn't?

What are you talking about? I can't just go!

Fire Department Special Rescue Team

Ms. Jeong. Finally, you're here.

- Hey, where were you? - What happened?

What happened here? What? Wh...?

I was patrolling the area and saw the fire.

I called it in, but luckily only your shed was burning.

The rest of the place seems fine.

It's not a shed.

It's where I keep my dogs.

Ms. Jeong!

It's too dangerous!

Is it done?

Yes, Doctor.

The fire department just came to put out the fire.

Everything is handled, but...

I do worry how she'll take it.

Knowing her, she's not going to let this go.

Mobile Jeong Se-ok

She's actually calling me right now. Sorry.

It's me.

I know.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

There is, actually.

My hands are starting to go.

At this rate, forget operating.

I won't even be able to hold a spoon.

Where are you right now?

I'll head to you.

The eagles found in the Colorado canyons in the U.S...

are known to peck and push their chicks out of the nest once they're big enough.

Just before the chicks hit the ground,

the parents swoop down and spread their strong wings to catch them.

This is their way of teaching their young how to fly. It may seem har...

Miss!

What are you doing?

Hwangtohyeon Village

Miss!

Darn it.

It doesn't really look like it was caused by a short circuit, does it?

How did the fire only burn this part here?

She said it was a short circuit and sent the police away.

They could've looked into it.

That's what I said.

I think we might move abroad.

Move?

To where?

To the Philippines.

The Philippines? Why there?

I have no idea.

Ronda

Wait, what's this guy doing here?

You didn't spit in it, did you?

Just kidding.

Perhaps you should drink your coffee and be on your way.

Dr. Jeong and I have absolutely nothing at all to say to you, okay?

I'm the victim here, so who do you think you are, speaking to me like that?

Well, we never did anything to you, so how can that be the case?

It seems you've forgotten, though that's not really a surprise.

Do you know how much I had to pay because you two bailed out on me back then?

We didn't know it involved organ trafficking.

If we did, you can be sure neither one of us would've agreed to do it.

You were med-school hotshots who ended up underground.

You should've been prepared for that kind of stuff from the start,

so spare me the sob story.

If I'd known you were just a couple of snobs who didn't know their place,

I wouldn't have hired you.

I'm glad you're here, Mr. Min.

I was actually thinking of calling you.

This works out.

Are you sick or something?

You look terrible, you know.

I recommend you get a checkup.

I could say the same thing to you, Dr. Jeong.

Here.

MRI Findings Report

It's not organ trafficking.

It's what you like.

Surgery.

Dr. Han and I agreed we aren't gonna work with you again.

- Just open it first, yeah? - Are you hard of hearing, or what?

Come on, Dr. Jeong. Are you kidding?

I said we aren't touching your filthy work!

Dr. Han, how do you even work with someone like her?

You might've forgotten this.

You still owe me, you know.

That's right.

How much was it?

$120,000, and that's with interest. Total.

That's my debt.

- We can talk about it later. - Come on, Doctor, get real.

You think I fronted the money because of you?

I don't really care who used it where.

I lent that money to Dr. Jeong.

Didn't I?

I get seasick.

On this large ship you'll be just fine.

They wouldn't get a ship that rocks so hard when they need surgery.

Who's the patient, anyway?

Did he tell you anything else?

I don't know. He didn't tell me a thing.

Well, I heard you can't do this surgery alone.

Yeah, you need two surgeons.

Did they find someone else, then?

Min said he had someone ready to go.

They'll be here soon.

When's the other surgeon getting here?

I think any second now.

There he is right there. Yeah.

So you already know each other, right?

What's that look?

You're upset, aren't you?

Yeah.

Maybe I am.
