(Doctor Lawyer)

(A Good Friend to Meet)

THE NAMES OF PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, AND BACKGROUNDS OF THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

Yosub, listen up.

Cut the middle lobe of Mr. Do Jinwoo's right lung.

Dr. Choi Yosub.

Hang up the intercom immediately.

Suture the donor's chest and put an end to the surgery.

I'll connect Mr. Doh's right middle lobe with the patient's left lobe.

Sorry? Is that possible?

It is.

SO JI-SUB

I knew Han Yihan could do it.

Dr. Han.

He's very cool-headed in court,

but rather humane in operating rooms.

SHIN SUNG-ROK

Assemblywoman Yoon's aide, Kwon Yoonseok.

He didn't have a suitcase when he came out.

I am sure the car was loaded with illegal political funds.

IM SOO-HYANG

Take it. It's yours.

Why are you giving this to me?

Think of it as a deposit

for the deal I'm about to offer.

I'll buy

the tip of your tongue.

LEE KYUNG-YOUNG

Is there another reason why he can't let go of Gu Jingi?

He's been taking the new Alzheimer's drug of the R and D Center

since the initial stage of its development.

LEE JOO-BIN

Live your life this time.

You almost died once.

If I were to have another knife lodged in me,

will you save me again?

I will save you.

I'll do my best to save you as many times as it takes.

As a doctor.

LEE DONG-HA

Please come to the address in the message. You must be alone.

Was this really your decision?

I don't care.

I'll continue to save you.

You've reached the 911 situation room. How may I help you?

I have an emergency patient.

He has carbon monoxide poisoning.

Is the patient conscious?

We'll dispatch a unit. Tell me your address.

Jeungdong-ri, Yangseo-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun…

Hello? Sir?

Is something wrong?

I guess we were never meant to get along, Doctor.

Who knew I'd have a chance to get back at you?

Gosh. Just stay on the ground.

That way, you'll be a bit more comfortable.

All right. Mr. Kwon.

We've been through a lot together despite our differences.

Don't just stand there.

-Let him rest in peace now. -Yes.

High beams? What on earth?

Who are these thugs?

I'm here to save you.

Wrap this up quickly.

It's been a while, but I'm ready to have some fun.

Who are you guys?

Forget it.

Hey, crush them.

You punk!

I like it here. There are no guns here.

Come on. Seriously? He's got a gun.

Back off, everyone! Unless you want me to make a hole in your stomach.

Come on, you idiots.

Wrap this up now!

Don't move!

Whoever moves first will be the first to go. Got it?

This will count as self-defense, right?

You have to defend me if that punk files a lawsuit against me.

You're still making jokes?

Even after you almost got shot?

It wasn't easy to hire you as my lawyer.

I can't lose you like this.

And if I had gotten shot,

you would have done anything to save me.

With this hand of yours.

Of course, I would have.

But

I would have charged you for the treatment.

Dr. Han.

I didn't know you could make jokes too.

EPISODE 13

Are you all right, doctor?

I'm all right. What about the patient?

His oxygen saturation level is too low.

Bring his oxygen level to the highest. Get the Ambu bag ready.

-Okay. -He's maxed out already.

Get ready for a cardiac arrest.

-How long until we arrive? -Twenty minutes.

Check his pulse.

There's no pulse. It might be a cardiac arrest.

I'll perform CPR.

His sinus rhythm isn't back. His heart stopped.

I'll use the defibrillator.

-A hundred joules. -A hundred.

There's no pulse.

-Charge 150 joules. -On it.

No pulse. I'll perform CPR.

What?

Yoonseok is alive?

Yes. Mr. Han and several men showed up.

And they took him.

And Gong Gukkwang was arrested at the scene

for the possession of an illegal weapon and aggravated assault.

He was arrested? How could you let this happen?

You should have at least gotten rid of Yoonseok!

I'm sorry.

Get out.

Get out and make sure the reporters don't publish anything!

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, ma'am.

I have a favor to ask you.

Go ahead.

I need Banseok Foundation's legal team.

Give me the best lawyer you have.

May I ask what this is about?

Gong Gukkwang was arrested.

If he talks, the list of political funds I received will be disclosed.

I'm sure you know that once the list hits the headlines,

you won't pass the hearing for the Minister of Health and Welfare.

I'll send over the team leader of our legal team.

But what about Mr. Kwon?

He's still alive.

I was told Han Yihan treated him on the spot and moved him to a hospital.

But I haven't found out his condition yet.

If you can, find out about that too.

I'll try.

This is so upsetting.

Had I been there with you,

those punks would be half dead.

How could you go there by yourself? What were you thinking?

Seriously. This could've turned out worse.

What happened?

-Are you hurt? -It's nothing. I'm good.

No, this is serious. You were hit by a wooden stick.

If he got the back of your head, you would've had a brain hemorrhage.

What? Why did you punch me in the side?

Read the room, will you?

Hey, he's bleeding because he got hit by a wooden stick.

How is he okay? It was a wooden stick.

What happened?

I went to Yoon Miseon's vacation house to see Kwon Yoonseok.

Gong Gukkwang and his guys were at the house.

Luckily, Jayden showed up, so I was able to get out of there safely.

Jayden?

That's not important. I need to see Lim Taemoon right now.

Why?

I need to convince him to bring me in as a witness at the hearing.

If not now, there's no way I would be able to attend the hearing.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Give me your car key.

What if you go there alone and end up in danger again?

Give me your car key. I'll drive.

-The list of witnesses for the hearing. -Okay.

It was hard to reach a compromise between the major parties.

So it took some time.

LIST OF WITNESSES FOR THE HEARING OF THE MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELFARE

I see Cho Junghyun, the head of the nursing department.

Well, we had no choice.

When we tried to exclude Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong

and Mr. Han Yihan from the list,

the ruling party strongly opposed that.

So we had no choice but to accept the other witnesses they wanted.

There's nothing we can do then.

Thank you for your effort.

-Here. -Thank you.

What's this about?

There's something I have to tell you in person.

It's late. Let's talk later.

I only need a moment of your time.

Please stop the car. I'm right behind you.

What?

Fine.

-Stop the car. -Yes, sir.

Go ahead. What do you need to tell me?

Put me on the witness list for the hearing of the Minister of Health and Welfare.

Witness? I can't allow that.

We already reached an agreement. So the list is set.

It's only been agreed upon. But it hasn't been announced yet.

I'm sure we were discussed as possible witnesses.

Do you still need his permission?

Permission? That's nonsense.

Didn't Gu Jingi instruct you

to only bring in the people who would be favorable to him for the hearing?

This is an insult.

Let's forget about the surgery then.

And I don't want you to call me ever again.

How much longer will he boss you around?

You're doing everything he wants because he has something on you.

Will you continue doing this even after you become the president?

If you don't handle him now,

you will never be able to escape from Gu Jingi.

To prevent it, we'll help you.

We plan to catch Assemblywoman Yoon for accepting illegal political funds.

Once that happens,

you'll be the presidential candidate of Daehan Party for sure.

-We're checking it now. -Yes.

Yes.

-We're checking it now. -Thanks.

-Please wait. -It's not confirmed.

-She was irrelevant. -Okay.

I told you before.

Ma'am, there was breaking news regarding Mr. Kwon.

Turn it on.

Gukkwang Gang is an organized crime syndicate that owns

a private money-lending business and illegal financial business.

The boss of the gang was arrested by the police for assaulting a lawyer.

Mr. Gong and three of his gang members are suspected of assaulting a lawyer,

Han Yihan, at the vacation house of the presidential candidate, Yoon Miseon,

when the lawyer was trying to meet with her aide, Kwon Yoonseok,

-in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province. -Did you want to see me?

Mr. Kwon was found unconscious by the dispatched paramedics.

He was transferred to a nearby hospital and is getting treated there.

New-Hope Medicine Clinic.

I'm Reporter Ban Soohee of MBS News.

Did Han Yihan cause trouble again?

You got the request to appear at my hearing as a witness, right?

Yes, sir.

Han Yihan was selected as a witness too.

-Him too? -Yes.

So

I need you to do something for me.

Sure.

CEO OF GUKKWANG CAPITAL GETS ARRESTED

DID YOON MISEON REALLY LAUNDER MONEY?

I told him to stay low.

Your name.

I plead the Fifth.

Gong Gukkwang.

-Your age. -I plead the Fifth.

Forty-six years old.

Why did you try to kill the victim?

What? You can't come up with your own answer for that one?

Let me make a call.

Why? So you can call your lawyer?

No. I'll call a prosecutor.

GONG GUKKWANG

The person you reached is not available.

You'll be directed to voicemail.

Goodness. He's hurting my feelings.

We even went to the sauna together and all.

This reminds me of my days on Wall Street.

What's the stock price for the R and D Center?

It's 47,100 won per stock.

The market capitalization is at 3.8 trillion won.

It went up as expected.

When the hearing starts tomorrow, the price will skyrocket.

And when it does, short sell the stocks.

Short sell them? How many stocks?

As many stocks as you can.

We'll get them back in R and D Center's stocks,

as for our 300-billion-won investment.

But we still need to get some cash.

I understand that you like taking risks for high returns.

But isn't that too risky?

There's no guarantee Gu Jingi will be disqualified at the hearing.

What if the price goes up--

It's not the time to get scared right now. It's time to go all-in.

Watch me.

The stocks of the R and D Center and the hefty amount of cash.

I'll get them both.

Getting you here wasn't easy, Mr. Gu Hyunseong.

We don't admit to any charges you're bringing up.

You barged in during the board meeting

and disclosed the attempted murder charge on him.

I'll sue you for publicly disclosing the charge and slandering.

Go ahead. I don't plan on making excuses over that.

I get why he doesn't want to admit to the attempted murder charge.

He won't even admit to changing

the operating surgeon and fabricating the medical records?

Even when we found evidence from searching the hospital?

It was Assistant Director Lee Dohyung's order.

As for him, he was led to believe that Gil Soyeon's mother was updated

regarding the change in the OR.

And he was not aware of the fabricated medical records either.

Let me get this straight.

You want to toss out Assistant Director Lee too?

If you keep cutting off your people, you'll end up alone.

I don't follow you.

Mr. Gu.

Somehow, we ended up getting to know each other a lot.

Let me ask you a question.

You forced other doctors

to perform the surgery for you and framed other people,

but you have turned a blind eye to the pain of the victims of malpractice.

What kind of doctor are you trying to be?

Wait.

Do you just need the title, doctor?

We won't answer any questions that are irrelevant--

You should ask Han Yihan.

You don't have to answer questions.

I'm sure you know

he killed your brother when working as my ghost doctor.

Director Gu.

Yes, I know that.

But he at least admitted to his crime

and he regrets what he did.

But what about you?

Have you thought

about taking responsibility even once?

This is enough.

If you continue this line of questioning, I'll file a formal complaint.

Prosecutor Geum.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need to talk to you.

Let's take a break.

INTERROGATION ROOM

What's this about?

Well, just like you said, I contacted the police

and tried to take over Gong Gukkwang's case.

But they said a prosecutor already took it.

Already? Who…

Was it Kangho?

Yes.

He said this was a big case, so he wanted to investigate it personally.

CLOSED TEMPORARILY DUE TO A PERSONAL MATTER

NEW-HOPE LAW OFFICE

Gu Jingi instigated perjury.

And Park Kitae recorded that?

Yes.

It's in here.

When did you find that?

Only recently.

I will attend the hearing tomorrow and disclose this recording.

And Cho Junghyun will testify with me too.

With the evidence for instigating perjury

and a witness to testify for illegal transplant surgery,

we'll be able to get Gu Jingi disqualified tomorrow for sure.

After that, Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong will indict him.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry. I'm a bit fascinated.

What do you mean?

You have never explained your plan to me in advance like this

unless you needed my help.

This sudden change is making me

see you differently.

To be honest,

I didn't trust you completely.

Frankly speaking, your first impression didn't seem that trustworthy.

But I decided to trust you from now on.

You stayed by our side even in dangerous situations.

What's going on?

Lee Dohyung.

An EEG device?

No way. Is he brain dead?

Lee Dohyung.

What are you doing here?

Did Gu Jingi put you up to this?

To kill Kwon Yoonseok if he was alive?

How could you say such a horrible thing?

Then why are you here?

I want you to represent me.

I'm about to take the fall for everything including fabricating medical records,

changing the surgeon, and violating the Narcotics Control Act.

So I wanted you to represent me.

No.

I can't be your lawyer.

Why not?

Kitae's only crime was perjury,

but you helped

Gu Jingi take out Seokju's heart.

I did no such thing! Please trust me.

Chairman Gu Jingi took out the heart by himself.

When I arrived, it was already over.

I may not be a good man,

but I would never kill a person to take out the heart.

If you are telling the truth,

testify at the hearing tomorrow.

If you are ready to take responsibility for your crimes,

I will defend you to the best of my abilities.

If I do that,

Chairman Gu won't let me be.

Don't worry about that.

If you do one thing for me,

I can destroy Gu Jingi for good.

PATIENT'S ROOM

BAEK KANGHO

Did you take the Gong Gukkwang case?

Yes, I did.

You took over the investigation and acquitted him five years ago.

Will you do the same this time?

What are you talking about?

Why would I do that?

PUBLIC SAUNA

So?

They don't prove the tie between me and him.

Are you going to be this way?

Did you think that these photos would make me talk?

You still have a lot to learn.

Why are you doing this?

What deal did you make with Gu Jingi?

There is no deal.

I followed my judgment and acquitted him.

If you truly think that I made a deal with Gu Jingi,

bring me the evidence I can't deny,

not these flimsy photos.

Don't worry.

I won't side with Gu Jingi at the hearing.

I will testify the fact without adding any guesses or opinions.

You should reveal the truth, not tell the fact.

That's what the hearing is for.

The truth is different for everyone.

What they believe is the truth.

No.

There is only one truth.

Gu Jingi

killed Seokju!

Seokyeong, are you okay?

Don't touch me.

At the hearing,

Han Yihan will reveal evidence.

And Cho Junghyun

will testify to Gu Jingi's crime.

Listen to them and judge

what the truth is.

Mr. Kwon Yoonseok

abused Candidate Yoon's power and received slush funds.

When the corruption got revealed, he attempted to commit suicide

because he was afraid of punishment.

Let's wrap it up this way.

How about the fact that I dragged my boys to the vacation house?

Can you cover that up too?

When you arrived,

Kwon Yoonseok was already on the ground.

You brought your employees in order to solve the trouble that arose

during the money-laundering process.

As for the assault on Mr. Han Yihan…

Let's say it was unpremeditated.

There is bad blood that goes back to the detention center.

Due to threats and assault, you won't be able to avoid imprisonment.

But it won't go over three years.

Geumcheon-gu will be redeveloped as planned.

Think that you are making about 100 billion won a year

and cultivate yourself spiritually.

Three years?

You promise.

I am sorry to interrupt, but the prosecution wants to take over.

Already?

Who is the person in charge?

He is from Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

He is Senior Prosecutor Baek Kangho.

Baek Kangho.

It's okay. He is my backup.

-Are you certain? -I am certain.

He was the one who built a connection between me and Chairman Gu Jingi.

I met him a few days ago.

Okay. We will end the meeting now.

All right.

Brain dead?

Yes.

He has a respirator and EEG device attached to him.

Assistant Director Lee Dohyung checked that the graphs weren't moving.

Then the chance of him waking up--

It's the same as death. He won't wake up.

I am glad.

Thank you very much.

Once this incident gets wrapped up,

I will help Banseok to the best of my abilities.

Thank you.

You did great work.

Don't mention it.

Since five years ago… No.

Since what happened with Jihyuk,

you were the only one who followed me wholeheartedly.

I am thankful for that.

Please do well at the hearing tomorrow as well.

-Please don't worry. -Okay.

You can get going now. I will contact you tomorrow.

Please get some rest.

Prepare a press conference.

I will answer all allegations myself.

Yes, ma'am. I will prepare it right away.

Thank you.

Thank you, Yoonseok.

You don't think Lim Taemoon is the VIP who received Seokju's heart?

Lim Yuna said it herself.

Lim Taemoon received surgery in the US, not Korea.

She asked me to keep it a secret, but I thought that you should know.

It could be a lie.

Perhaps she doesn't want to admit that her father received

an illegal heart transplant.

But she seems to be telling the truth.

Then who? Who took Seokju's heart?

Could it be someone else who isn't here?

LIM TAEMOON

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR A PARTY

YOON MISEON

YOON MISEON

Yoon Miseon.

Maybe she visits Banseokwon in secret

to receive checkups on her transplanted heart.

It can't be Yoon Miseon.

Judging from my memory, this person wasn't so small.

A VIP for whom Gu Jingi would kill someone to acquire a heart.

We just need to put Gu Jingi behind bars.

Then I will do whatever it takes

to make him confess the identity of the VIP who received

Seokju's heart.

Tomorrow, everything will end.

One of us will gain a lot

and the other will lose a lot.

That's too bad.

Both of us could have been winners.

Perhaps so.

But you didn't keep your promise.

Do you know what percentage of candidates become disqualified

after the hearing?

Less than 10%.

That means most candidates pass.

Unless a definite criminal activity gets proven,

I will pass the hearing.

"A definite criminal activity."

Something like opening the chest of a 19-year-old boy

and taking out the heart?

How ironic.

I just told you, didn't I?

You will need to prove it.

Do you think I won't be able to?

Do it if you can.

Please empty the penthouse once the hearing ends tomorrow.

People who are more deserving

will use the place.

After tomorrow, we will see

who will leave Banseokwon.

There are no traces of drugs?

No. Everything was clean.

TEST RESULTS, NEGATIVE

For goodness' sake.

It isn't a drug you can stop using easily.

Run the test again. The results might be wrong.

Yes, sir.

And you should check this out as well.

PRESCRIPTION PATIENT NAME: KIM YOUNGHO

It's a prescription.

Kim Youngho?

It was among the shredded paper that came from the penthouse.

-The penthouse? -Yes.

But it's someone else's name.

Don't you know what this drug is?

That part was too damaged to make out the words.

Find out who Kim Youngho is.

And look for the missing part.

Yes, sir.

DRUG DOSAGE

The extended trading volume is very high.

The estimated price already rose by over 10%.

It will hit the ceiling once the hearing begins.

Let me repeat. That's the time for short selling.

We will sell stocks when the price is the highest

and buy them back when the price is the lowest.

TIME, TRADED PRICE, NET CHANGE, AMOUNT OF STOCK DEAL

Are you sure about this?

If Gu Jingi becomes the Minister of Health and Welfare,

the stock price will skyrocket.

We didn't secure many shares for Banseok R and D Center.

We will lose over 100 billion won.

Even if we short sell stocks,

we should lessen the amount--

Short selling a big amount of stocks will make the investors panic sell.

It's a surefire way to crash the stock price.

Just do as I say.

I will take responsibility.

Do well. We will watch it at home.

It won't do you any good to see me get grilled.

Don't bother with it.

Listening to people's chatters will trouble your heart.

Father.

Good luck.

Don't worry.

-Okay. -All right.

Stay inside.

He will be okay, right?

Of course.

Your father is an extraordinary man.

He will overcome.

WITNESS REQUEST FOR THE HEARING JUNG YOONJUNG

From Geum Seokju,

a transplanted heart was taken out?

That's murder.

You are right. It was murder.

That's why Dr. Han and Prosecutor Geum want revenge.

Hold on. Then…

Then by fabricating the autopsy report,

I covered up Chairman Gu's murder.

Geum Seokju wasn't the only one.

Dr. Park Kitae was killed by Chairman Gu too.

Why did he get killed?

He tried to confess to committing perjury at Geum Seokju's trial.

I will attend the hearing as a witness.

Even if I try for the rest of my life,

I won't be able to pay Dr. Han back for what he has done.

What should I do?

You should decide for yourself.

But remember one thing.

Unless you disclose Chairman Gu Jingi's crime now,

you will get dragged around all your life and suffer due to guilty conscience

like I have.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR LEE DOHYUNG

Yes, sir.

Will you attend the hearing?

I am torn.

Banseok's Legal Team is trying to frame me for Gu Hyunseong's crime.

Can we meet up and discuss the matter?

Can you come to Banseokwon?

Ms. Cho Junghyun will come too.

Okay.

I will be there.

Okay.

THE PRINCIPLES OF MATHEMATICS

I will be back, Seokju.

Please watch and see

how I make them pay

for their sin.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

You came. Sit down.

All right.

We are in the same boat.

If one of us talks, we will go down together.

So let's be honest. What are you going to do today?

I will attend the hearing and reveal everything.

That includes the perjury and what happened five years ago.

Me too.

I don't know as much as the two of you do,

but I will reveal that I fabricated Geum Seokju's autopsy report.

Right. We should do that.

That would be the right thing.

Please enter.

What are you doing? Why is the Security Team here?

I am terribly sorry. I wasn't going to go this far.

Stay here until the hearing ends.

Then you will be fine.

Sit still and nothing will happen.

Hand over your phone.

Hi.

I kept them in the room as you instructed, Chairman Gu. I mean, Minister Gu.

-Good work. -It was my pleasure.

You promised to make me the director of Banseok University Medical Center.

Mr. Cheon, get in the car.

Yes, sir.

Yes. You will be the director of Banseok University Medical Center from now on.

I will protect your medical license as well.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Minister Gu.

Thank you.

Sir.

What is it?

-Welcome. -Hello.

-Let's go. -All right.

-Please say a few words. -Please say a few words.

-Is it a suicide or not? -Please say a few words.

-Please tell us. -Please wait.

Please make a comment about your aide, Kwon Yoonseok.

-Did he attempt to commit suicide? -Please give us a comment.

There is an allegation that it wasn't a suicide attempt. Please comment.

Thank you for coming.

I will answer to allegations in the press conference room.

I am in your care.

I, a candidate for a government position, solemnly swear to follow

my conscience to speak the truth as it is

without any concealments or embellishments

at the hearing that is run by the National Assembly.

A candidate for a government position, Gu Jingi.

Candidate Gu, please take a seat.

Five years ago,

why did you frame me?

As you know…

When I told Seokyeong about your coercive investigation,

she said

that you would never do such a thing.

If someone who would never do such a thing acted that way,

there must be a reason.

No matter the reason, today's hearing will be

your last chance to tell the truth

and seek forgiveness.

Since today's hearing is receiving much attention from the public,

many journalists came.

For the public's right to knowledge,

we will guarantee the journalists' activities

as long as they don't interfere with the hearing.

During today's hearing,

the ministerial candidate…

How will he take responsibility?

The candidate's abilities and qualifications need to be checked…

VIDEO CALL

We ask for your cooperation.

What timing.

I will now explain the process of the hearing.

The most important part of today's hearing is figuring out the truth

behind the various suspicions regarding the candidate

and verifying his morality.

As a result, after his opening statement,

we will call the witness and hear their testimony.

After the witness has been questioned,

the assemblymen will ask their questions before we hear from the candidate

-The phone has been turned off. -and his closing statements.

-After the beep-- -That will be the order of this hearing.

You will enter after the candidate's opening statement.

-Please get ready. -Okay.

I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon, and for 30 years…

What happened?

I got it. I'll check the video, post it on the streaming site,

and send it to reporters.

Send it to me when it's ready.

Okay.

I've worked hard to cure people in our hospital,

and our Health and Welfare…

The assemblywoman is coming out.

The reason I invited you all to this place

is to apologize for the unforgivable crimes

my aide, whom I valued greatly, has committed.

My aide, Kwon Yoonseok, received bribes for the purpose

of collecting campaign funds,

and he laundered the money through a loan shark

to fulfill his personal greed.

You should become an actress, not a politician.

Today, I intend to explain

all the suspicions regarding me and Banseok Foundation

for the last time,

and I promise to dedicate myself to the progress

of Korea's medical and welfare system.

Thank you.

That will be all for his opening statement.

-Please bring in the witness. -Yes, sir.

WITNESS

The appearance of the witness and testifier

is to help review things internally.

VIDEO CALLING

Hey.

It's time. Start short selling.

Don't stop until the price hits rock bottom.

But…

Okay, boss.

There's a problem.

A problem?

VIDEO CALL FROM SUSIE YOON

What do you want? I'm really busy right now.

I stopped the short selling of Banseok R and D center.

What?

With what right?

As the Chief Director of headquarters.

You revised the contract with Banseok on your own,

but I can't let you do something so dangerous.

I make the decisions and am responsible for all the business in Asia.

Start short selling. Right now.

I think the risk is too big too.

You won't be responsible for my career too.

Baek Kangho and Han Yihan are the only ones who are in attendance.

The witnesses will take an oath.

Witness.

WITNESS

You have been the legal counsel for the victims of medical malpractice

at Banseok University Medical Center.

-Yes. -Among them,

Park Kitae, a doctor at Banseok University Medical Center,

was murdered while he was incarcerated.

The prosecution claimed

that the candidate abetted that murder.

As the lawyer who defended the deceased,

I would like to know what you think about that.

The relationship between the late Park Kitae and Candidate Gu Jingi

wasn't just simply the chairman of the foundation and a doctor.

Five years ago, the candidate

had the deceased perjure himself during the trial for Geum Seokju.

The contents of that conversation are here.

The candidate was afraid that the deceased

would reveal that he perjured himself in the Geum Seokju case,

and he murdered him the day before the sentencing.

This is your last chance.

Start the short selling.

No. You can't.

We can't increase the risk by double.

Why don't you come to an agreement?

Shut it and do it!

If you don't, you're fired.

-Assemblyman! -What is this?

In order to prove this,

I ask that you reveal the contents in it right now.

Hold on, Witness.

This hearing for the minister is being aired live on TV.

We can't reveal any evidence that we haven't agreed on in advance.

If you only reveal the evidence you've agreed upon in advance,

how will you verify the suspicions regarding the candidate?

Even still, revealing the contents of a private conversation…

It was not private.

It was a conversation with the candidate

who took an oath to public office.

We must reveal it here.

Why are you preventing him from revealing evidence?

Are you trying to cover it up?

That's right. Why are you afraid to reveal it?

Reveal it this instant!

-What nonsense are you talking about? -What are you afraid of?

Be quiet!

-Reveal the evidence! -Silence!

-This is a hearing to vet him! -Sir!

Okay. We will check it. Go ahead.

HEARING FOR GU JINGI, MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELFARE CANDIDATE

I, Yoon Miseon,

promise the citizens

that I will cooperate diligently as a testifier

with the police and prosecution's investigations.

Will you continue the election race?

Who did your aide receive bribes from?

Your political funds were under suspicion five years ago. Is that related?

I will continue to compete in the election race until the end.

And I believe that the police and prosecution

will reveal the answers to all the questions

I am unable to answer today.

I would like to apologize once again for causing concern

to the people for such a shameful incident.

Please move aside.

-Move over. -Excuse me. Let us through.

Excuse me. Please move. We're with the prosecution.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

I'm Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong from the Medical Crime Department.

And the man sitting next to me is the man

in charge of Assemblywoman Yoon Miseon's political funds,

Chief Aide, Kwon Yoonseok.

Mr. Kwon regained consciousness in the hospital yesterday,

but he had to hide this fact to be protected.

At the trial for Geum Seokju's death,

there is something I want you to do.

I want you to testify that Dr. Han Yihan didn't properly suture

the surgical site after an emergency procedure.

CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE

So you want me to testify in court

that Dr. Han Yihan didn't suture the surgical site?

-Yes. -Why do you want me to lie?

Yihan…

I mean, Dr. Han is your favorite doctor.

Me? I like Han Yihan?

Yes. Isn't that why you had him work with your son?

Watch your mouth.

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

The brother of a prosecutor just died.

Someone must take responsibility for it.

Why?

Will you take responsibility for it?

No, sir.

I trust you understand

what I'm saying without further explanation.

DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

According to Clause One, Article 31 of the Criminal Act,

abetting in perjury is a serious crime resulting in ten years of prison.

As you heard in the file,

the late Park Kitae was threatened by the candidate

and perjured himself in the trial.

And when he tried to reveal this,

he was murdered.

NO TAEHYUN, CHOI SEUNGJUN

CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE

Five years ago, Candidate Yoon

coaxed Mr. Kwon to attempt suicide

to stop the investigation of her illegal political funds.

She tried to use the same method to stop the investigation again,

but when Mr. Kwon refused,

she tried to get Gong Gukkwang to murder him

and make it look like a suicide.

This is false information.

Five years ago and now, I have never received political funds.

This is all a political maneuver to slander me, and it's false information!

We have…

evidence.

This is a ledger that Mr. Kwon kept for over ten years

which contains a list of Yoon Miseon's illegal political funds

and the funds that went through Gukkwang Capital.

And the first name on this list

is Candidate Gu Jingi

who is currently having a hearing at the National Assembly

to become Minister of Health and Welfare.

Candidate Gu.

Are you the person in the recording that was just played?

Please answer!

Didn't you say you could clear any suspicions about you?

Why won't you explain?

That's right. Don't just listen and explain yourself.

That's right. There is clear evidence.

The witness said I threatened him,

but does it sound like I threatened him?

I have no memory of having this conversation with the deceased.

-Are you kidding me? -How could you not remember?

The witness was charged

with medical malpractice in the death that occurred five years ago.

If there was a problem with the trial,

the responsibility would go

to the prosecutor of that case, not me.

Mr. Baek Kangho.

What do you think about what the candidate said?

Yes, it's true. I must take responsibility for it too.

At that time, I listened to the candidate and conducted an excessive investigation.

I also agreed to have Gong Gukkwang

threaten Han Yihan who was being held in a detention center

and turned a blind eye.

Gong Gukkwang?

Are you talking about the CEO of Gukkwang Capital, Gong Gukkwang,

who was recently arrested?

Yes, that's correct.

According to Clause Three, Article 200 of the Criminal Procedure Act,

when the prosecution has reason to believe that the suspect has committed a crime

that requires at least three years in prison…

and there is concern they might get rid of the evidence,

they can arrest the suspect without a warrant.

As a result, I will arrest

Candidate Yoon Miseon without a warrant right now.

What? You're arresting me? Who do you think you are?

Move. What are you doing? Stop them right now.

Move aside.

If you stop us, we'll arrest you for obstructing justice.

You're under arrest for violating the Political Fund Law

and abetting in murder.

Let go of me!

I'm Yoon Miseon, Daehan Party's presidential candidate!

Let go. You can't do this!

No, if you committed a crime,

you get punished

whether you're a candidate or the president.

Drag her out.

-Let's go. -Let go!

-Move over! -Let go.

Move!

-Move. -Assemblywoman Yoon.

Assemblywoman Yoon.

This isn't true. Think about it.

As the director of Banseok University Medical Center,

why would I solicit a prosecutor to conduct a coercive investigation?

Then what is this recording?

As I had mentioned,

I don't recall having this conversation with the deceased.

I would like to ask the witness.

Where and how did you get this recording?

I received this directly from a friend

of the late Park Kitae.

From his friend? I see.

I am aware that the witness, Han Yihan, has a personal grudge against me.

Because of such feelings, he has slandered Banseok University Medical Center

and the foundation without any evidence.

I ask that the prosecution conduct a thorough investigation

to verify that the recording hasn't been fabricated.

-That's right. -How can we believe in that?

-It doesn't make any sense! -Ridiculous.

-This is perjury! -Verify it!

TIME, TRADED PRICE, NET CHANGE, AMOUNT OF STOCK DEAL

See? It won't crash.

You stupid woman.

If you did it as I said, people would've panicked and sold their stocks.

Then the stock prices would've taken a nosedive.

That is what we call a gamble.

Didn't I give you advice?

Don't gamble and do business.

-What will you do? -Verify it!

-Listen. -Settle down.

Everyone, settle down!

Settle down!

We can't conduct the hearing like this.

Please settle down.

Okay, so there were a lot of suspicions raised about me,

but I have never lived a shameful life as a medical professional.

Let me tell all the assemblymen and reporters here once again.

All of the suspicions surrounding me are completely false.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT GU JINGI

Excuse me, everyone. Can you focus on the hearing?

The candidate is speaking.

Sir, you should see this.

-What is it? Show me later. -You need to see this.

CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE, WITNESS

You…

Again?

It looks like you got an irresistible offer.

-I didn't think-- -This is nothing.

-Let go! -Chairman Gu.

Did you know about this?

Record it?

Record my conversation with Chairman Gu?

If you want to hunt someone powerful, you need the proper weapon.

It's hard to prove a crime with a witness and a recording.

So meet with Chairman Gu and make him admit

that he opened Geum Seokju's chest and took out his heart.

Film it with this.

I can't do it.

What if he tries to kill me too?

I'll give you ten billion won.

Ten billion won?

You're risking your life,

so you should get that much.

I'll give you something neither Gu Jingi nor Han Yihan

can give you.

My knight…

finally got the king.

GU JINGI, CANDIDATE FOR MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELFARE

GU JINGI, CANDIDATE FOR MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELFARE

How could he?

Please spare me.

Don't you know what I did for you? How dare you do this to me?

Sir!

Why…

Candidate, what is this video?

Who are you stabbing?

NO TAEHYUN, CHOI SEUNGJUN, JEON DONGSEOK

CHAIRMAN OF THE HEARING

It's Lee Dohyung, the assistant director of Banseok University Medical Center.

The man who got stabbed in the neck by Gu Jingi

was a witness to this hearing.

He is Lee Dohyung, the assistant director of Banseok University Medical Center.

NO TAEHYUN, CHOI SEUNGJUN, JEON DONGSEOK

HEARING FOR GU JINGI, MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELFARE CANDIDATE

Gu Jingi, you're under arrest for the murder of Lee Dohyung.

-Chairman Gu. -Focus on protecting Banseok.

Protect them from Jayden and Honours Hand.

If chasing desires is evil,

I will gladly become a villain.

Jayden, you're abandoning me like this?

I'll kill you.

You killed my brother.

Prosecutor Geum. Are you okay?

Han Yihan? You still need him?

It seems like you want revenge more than me.

What's the reason?

If you're curious, you should find out.

I intend to do so. I'm dying to know.
