[Episode 4]

It's all over.

Where did Jung Hee Young go?

What?

Huh?

Is this all you've been doing?

I'm already dead anyway.

I already died in that park!

What's the point of living like this?

My life is completely ruined!

So, if you die,

what will that solve?

If you die and disappear,

it means nothing.

You are alive, Jung Hee Young.

You're not dead.

[Green / Shin Jeong Sook]

What is it, did you receive a spirit?

Even now, and the fact that Shin Jeong Sook would go to KSH Cosmetic Surgery.

I asked you to find photos

of the acid attack on the district office employee two years ago, right?

I am indebted to that person.

After ruining her model's face like this.

What are you going to do about it?

She was flustered when she saw the photos of other acid attack victims.

Is this woman the victim?

Perhaps Shin Jeong Sook didn't know Jung Hee Young well.

So she must have needed to confirm if she did her job properly.

Madam, it's me.

Could you please open the door?

She must have thought she needed to prove it

to the person who ordered her to do that.

You are impressive as always.

Yes, I know.

Because it seemed different from the victim's photo shown at the police station,

you went to the hospital yourself?

I was worried I made a mistake…

Anyway, you are naive.

The articles are all over…

Anyway, well done.

But did you have to come at such a late hour?

You could have come later.

I'm sorry.

I was in such a hurry for money.

Have you already spent the advance you received?

In just a week?

Oh, Madam Shin.

I didn't know you were interested in that sort of thing.

Indeed.

That would make you desperate for money.

The smell of leather is so nice.

That's right.

It doesn't seem to suit you.

The remaining payment is one thousand.

With this, the payment is all settled.

Aren't you leaving?

What are you doing, ma'am?

Please leave now.

Ma'am.

Ah… ma'am!

What are you doing?

I pretended to be crazy and splashed hydrochloric acid once,

and it stripped away the fear.

It's thrilling, isn't it?

The fact that you can ruin someone's life with just a wrist.

Don't look at people that way.

It's not like I am a bug.

So annoying.

Ma'am!

No, Madam Shin,

you must have had a tough time yesterday and today.

First, go home and rest.

How could I possibly sleep comfortably?

Look

what we did to that Jung Hee Young.

Us, you say?

That's right, us…

Jung Hee Young had an affair with my husband.

And, just to take revenge,

I just had to pretend to be crazy later on.

Then, I got a lawyer,

Somehow, claiming mental and physical weakness got me out.

Yes, right here, your voice is all recorded, you see?

How could you do this!

Madam.

The madam is as beautiful as Jung Hee Young.

Huh?

Compensation for the mental harm from my guilt.

Please do that for me a bit longer.

Sir, that black box,

could you just…

Seo Yoon Ha.

Wife of Kim Ji Hyuk, president of JH Model Agency.

Ms. Jung Hee Young was a model under that agency until last year.

The fact of giving a large sum of cash

to the person who splashed hydrochloric acid

means there was some sort of transaction between Seo Yoon Ha and Shin Jeong Sook.

On social media and personal broadcasts,

the reason Jung Hee Young appeared at that modeling agency last year

is rumored to be because of a scandal with the agency's president.

So, due to that kind of relationship

between Jung Hee Young and Kim Ji Hyuk,

Seo Yoon Ha, the wife, harbors ill feelings and just asked Shin Jeong Sook--

I should stitch those lips.

Who told you to investigate based on rumors?

It's a matter that can cause secondary harm to the victim.

Moreover, Kim Ji Hyuk is currently incarcerated due to a sexual harassment case last year.

Be careful with your words.

I apologize.

But securing evidence is the key.

If they brush it off, as if that cash is a bonus

given to the housekeeper, there's nothing we can do.

That woman must be hiding something.

Looking at the card statements, her spending is not minimal.

Perhaps she stashed something away in anticipation of running low on money?

We can't even search and seize it, since it's still a vague conjecture.

Seeing her coming out with money tonight,

it seems she has an urgent need for it.

Start by looking into her recent movements.

There must be something to dig into.

Yes.

Yes, hello?

Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?

Is Jung Hee Young okay?

Attention!

Attention.

Ah… he let it slide again.

I did not.

Are you kidding?

With your skills, you could have easily avoided this.

Sometimes it seems like you parry just to get stabbed.

- Want a drink? - Next time.

Then, we'll go ahead.

You worked hard today, too.

I told you to stop drinking.

And why don't you answer the phone?

Yeah, here.

Oh, dear!

[Detective Lee Min Hyeong]

Yes, here is the customer's phone.

Alright, you did a great job today, so consider this a reward.

[Park Chae Kyung]

Why are you so anxious? Like a puppy that needs to poop.

The detective gave him a lift herself.

Was there another unfortunate incident with Jeong Woo at the hospital?

Maybe?

What else happened besides yesterday's event?

It's been particularly bad these past few days.

Then why didn't you stay a bit with him? Why bother so much about a silly blind date?

S-Silly?

Excuse me!

I'm trying to communicate with these various people.

One shouldn't belittle this open-mindedness, especially a lawyer.

Right.

You've been devoted to just one guy since school days. What would you know

about my feelings?

- Darn, just like that! - Here it is, right on time! Jeong Woo's car.

Oh, my! Sorry for the trouble.

Catching criminals by day, running as a substitute driver by night.

How did you end up driving Director Cha's car, too?

Did you two drink together?

Of course not.

I called him because of work, by coincidence.

- Hurry and take care of him for me. - Okay.

Jeong Woo, how much did you drink?

Jeong Woo, come to your senses. Jeong Woo!

Be careful.

Come here.

We meet again like this.

The three of you are friends, I see.

Yes, take care.

Ah.

Taking care of crime victims,

Jeong Woo…

I mean, Director Cha will have to do it for how long?

That's not something I can confirm…

Why did you ask?

It seems there were some issues with a victim under treatment.

It's not that there were problems,

but rather that the existing problems were resolved, no?

Whatever the case,

dealing with crime victims won't be easy for Director Cha.

Director Cha, too,

was a crime victim, you know.

He lost his fiancé

to a criminal case, seven years ago.

Meeting with crime victims

must be constantly stirring up wounds when he thought it was okay.

Isn't it about time to forget now?

- Why? - In Shin Jeong Sook recent activities,

we found something unusual.

Unusual? Like what?

She frequently visited the hospital.

A plastic surgery clinic.

We found reservation records, too.

Really?

You want your eyes done like this?

Yes, I would like to have slightly thicker double eyelids.

You don't have drooping eyelids,

and it seems like you don't have any discomfort in terms of shape or function.

Also, such a flamboyant outline is not in trend these days either.

Well, I don't really know about trends or anything.

Can't you just do it like this for me?

What is the reason you want the surgery?

No, I…

Do I have to explain even that to get plastic surgery?

I… it's my first time coming to a place like this.

I need to know what kind of problem you want to improve, whether it's function or form,

so I can proceed with the surgery more effectively.

Well, just…

I just need to look like this person.

The wife's lover.

From the husband's point of view,

by having surgery to look like the lover his wife fell in love with,

doesn't it mean he wants to win back his wife?

A little while ago, I heard it also happened at the hospital where my friend works.

A woman showed a picture of his mistress and asked to be made similar.

Can you really bring back someone who has left by doing that?

Of course not!

You can't bring it back.

If you could capture a departed heart by changing the face,

I would have had that plastic surgery hundreds of times.

I wonder who?

Who would you have wanted to catch so badly?

Did you have such a pure-hearted love, Director Han?

First love?

What?

Why are you all so serious about other people's love affairs?

Anyway, this plastic surgery clinic never has a calm day.

And come to think of it, that patient Jung Hee Young, the one with the affair…

Hey!

That's not a confirmed fact yet.

Please let me know when the facts come out.

Are you planning to just leave again today?

Perhaps, do you have

[Officer Lee Min Hyeong] any connection to the patient?

Seeing that you came here twice, it seems

like you have something you must want to talk about.

She is a friend of our daughter.

But for what…

Do you know Kim Ji Hyuk by any chance?

The representative of JH Model Agency.

Yes, what about that person?

It's just my own thought but,

perhaps this

might be related to Kim Ji Hyuk.

Why do you think so?

Our daughter too,

was a model affiliated in that person's company.

The person who splashed me with hydrochloric acid

is the woman who works at Kim Ji Hyuk's house?

She's been working as a housekeeper for quite a long time.

Last night…

The place the suspect visited after leaving this hospital as well,

was the house of president Kim Ji Hyuk.

That person… is in prison now.

Due to the sexual harassment case involving Kim Ji Hyuk, last year,

the model who committed suicide

was very close to you.

She is related to that case too, right? You too…

Enough.

Please leave now.

I want you to tell us everything now.

We'll catch the real criminal.

But that's not the real end, is it?

Both you and your friend

shouldn't be misunderstood anymore, right?

[Model affiliated with JH Model Agency found dead at home]

Excluding the deposit of 300,000 won,

you need to pay the surgery fee of 7.5 million won.

Huh? I've seen that before?

Yeah, that's right.

Even the bundles tied with new bill bands in the envelope.

Look at this, this, it's correct, isn't it?

You received it from Seo Yoon Ha, right?

Yes.

The madam gave it to me, just like a bonus.

You didn't receive it after showing photos of the victim?

That… Going to the hospital yesterday was…

To apologize to the victim for feeling sorry.

First, let's go to the station together.

I request your voluntary accompaniment regarding the supplementary investigation.

Ah, no way.

I-I-I can't go.

I must have the surgery no matter what.

After the surgery, you'll see how much I've changed.

I mean, to show off to that person.

So you must cooperate even more with the investigation.

That way, you can get the surgery as soon as possible.

No, the date is…

If you resolve it quickly and let us know,

we'll make arrangements for you to have the surgery immediately.

Yes.

Money…

Ms. Seo Yoon Ha, you are under

emergency arrest on charges of instigating special bodily harm against Jung Hee Young.

Shin Jeong Sook has spilled everything.

That crazy witch is really…

Over there… right here.

The deal with the madam has all been recorded.

Uh… And this.

It's a letter sent to the madam

from her husband in prison.

It has the whole crime plan written down.

If I cooperate with the investigation, I can get the surgery, right?

Right?

Jung Hee Young, that girl,

do you know how shameless and audacious that woman is?

When a man does big things in society, he can make mistakes.

But to report it so quickly?

After all we've done to support her.

The fact that Mr. Kim Ji Hyuk sexually harassed Ms. Jung Hee Young,

do you admit it?

What are you talking about?

That's what Jung Hee Young said?

She's a victim too?

No, it's not her!

She reported it even though she wasn't a victim!

My husband is also exploding with anger in prison--

So, because Ms. Jung Hee Young is a whistleblower,

you're saying she committed the crime?

And you planned the crime in advance with Mr. Kim Ji Hyuk?

You might as well just keep your mouth shut.

Thank you for detailing everything from the motive to the process of the crime.

It's being recorded well, isn't it?

Ms. Seo Yoon Ha,

this time, you won't be able to get out.

You will receive a fitting punishment for what you've done

[Ministry of Justice]

It's Kim Ji Hyuk!

Don't you have anything to say to the victim?

Is there another accomplice?

A case that was thought to be a crime of someone with mental disability

turned out to be a meticulously planned revenge crime.

Kim, who was in prison last year for charges

[Grudge against the agency's head] of sexual harassment, harbored a grudge.

While exchanging letters with his wife, while in prison,

he is known to have meticulously planned the crime.

In the process, he used the housemaid Ms. Shin

to abet the crime, and

it is known that he even attempted to destroy evidence.

Please don't do this, boss.

Please!

Sir, I have something to say about that contract issue.

Why, what's the matter?

Ah… that is…

We can speak next time.

I'll apply some peripheral vasodilators for you.

[Model Acid Attack, CEO's Planned Revenge] Gosh, what a scandal.

For someone who detests meddling in others' affairs.

Exchanging letters with his wife,

it was revealed that the crime was meticulously planned.

Manager Yang, could you please look at this?

What is it? Why?

Have you seen the news?

What news?

About patient Jung Hee Young.

They say she is a whistleblower. A whistleblower.

Pardon?

Oh, dear.

Spreading rumors without even verifying the facts.

Who goes around blabbering them as if they are true?

Do you know who it is?

Oh, my.

Just really bad people.

Director Cha,

what kind of surgery are you preparing that is making you seem so serious?

Mind your own business, it's not your patient.

Right, just take care of your own patients.

Why bother caring about someone else's patient, right?

Pay some attention to your patients.

Still, as a doctor specializing in victims, you should know at least this much.

['Daring to report me?' Orders revenge from prison, throws acid at model's face]

It's not important information for the patient's treatment.

Some people never really change,

right?

It's Jung Hee Young.

He was paying attention.

Are you going to the police station?

Are you going to the police station?

They say the person who ordered the crime is in the police station near here.

Are you going to chase after them and stab them with that?

Don't worry about it.

Even if you stabbed them with that, you probably couldn't kill them.

That's a ring forceps for holding gauze during dressing.

Instead of wasting your time on nonsense, get a consultation for your scars.

Will that make this go away?

Of course,

we can't get rid of it completely.

Even if it's covered with a graft.

A graft?

A skin graft.

That's what I came to talk about.

If you're going to get revenge, make it a real revenge.

Don't give up your life as the assailants would hope.

We can schedule a time for surgery consultation immediately.

Ah, hello?

This is the beauty model selection committee.

Are you feeling alright?

Yes.

What's the matter?

Well… I'm contacting you regarding the final recording of the audition.

I guess… it would be difficult for you to participate, right?

Let's see…

[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]

The article about Director Cha Jeong Woo's reconstructive surgery for a crime victim…

[KSH Plastic Surgery]

There's none.

Why isn't it here?

Why is this missing?

Oh, Manager Yang!

Has our article not been published yet?

Ah, I talked a lot to Reporter Kim about it.

Why hasn't this been turned into an article?

She's the final candidate for the model contest.

It seems like it would be quite an issue.

It's too early, the surgery is today.

We should at least have an interview with the patient after the surgery

for it to be meaningful, don't you think?

Ah…

Then, to make sure we can nail down the before-and-after photo materials,

get the pictures or interview before the surgery, understood?

Why?

Director Cha isn't performing the surgery for that reason, is he?

What is this? Am I doing this just for my own benefit?

I also want to quickly clear the disgrace concerning Director Cha.

I know.

But you don't have to worry about that.

Because sincerity has a way of getting through.

What do you mean by sincerity?

I'm talking about compassion for the patient.

Whether in the emergency room before,

or here at the plastic surgery clinic,

it seems Director Cha's sincerity towards patients remains unchanged, doesn't it?

Beginning the patient Jung Hee Young's autologous skin graft surgery.

We don't need any more debridement.

Give me the local anesthesia.

I will do the skin harvest.

[Skin harvest - Harvesting the skin for grafting]

[Cha Jeong Woo]

[Assaulted by an ex-boyfriend…]

[Assaulted after being kidnapped by ex-lover's vehicle; capture while fleeing]

Thank you for your hard work.

Are you here to get the surgery records?

If you give them to me, I'll be thankful.

They'll be useful for corroborating the victim's damages.

I'll mention it, please take them.

Thank you.

No matter how much we solve cases and arrest criminals,

the police can't directly help the victims recover.

But when a dedicated doctor steps in to assist in the recovery…

I'm just doing what we do in plastic surgery.

Come on, that can't be all it is.

Not only are there scars on the face,

but wouldn't it have contributed to the healing of Jung Hee Young's heart too?

While treating external wounds, it also helps heal the internal wounds.

That's why they call plastic surgery "psychosurgery", right?

Huh? You seem embarrassed.

Ah, wait a minute!

The face of someone who did a good thing is really…

Smile.

Get your sugar refill, too.

He is embarrassed.

[Seoul Southern Police Station]

I got a call from Sergeant Choi.

They say Jung Hee Young will be discharged tomorrow.

The surgery went well.

Of course, they must have taken good care of her.

That Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.

I hear that when Ms. Jung Hee Young went up to the rooftop,

he had left work, but then, suddenly turned his car around to come back.

It's like he knew Ms. Jung Hee Young's situation perfectly,

He must have empathized with the victim's feeling of emptiness.

Emptiness?

The police investigate to solve cases.

When you see it directly from the side,

it can feel futile from the victim's perspective.

What's going to change by doing that?

You can't turn it back to before the crime, anyway.

But how would Doctor Cha Jeong Woo know that feeling?

Because what you see in a person isn't everything.

Oh, it seems like you know something.

There's something I want to know.

What is it? What?

How's the video of the car thief in Yeoksam-dong coming along?

I said I'd look into it.

That's right.

That too needs to be checked quickly as cases pour in like a flood.

On your way home, take a look around the theft location.

I'll try to check the video footage near Mr. Nam Gi Taek's house.

Yes.

But if the two really are the same person,

and if there's someone who really bears a grudge against Mr. Cha Jeong Woo,

they might appear around him again.

That's worrying.

If they're not the same person,

I hope it was just my misunderstanding.

I'll eat well.

You've worked hard.

Hello, did you make a reservation?

I don't have a reservation, but could I possibly have a consultation for surgery?

Hmm… What kind of surgery are you considering?

My eyes.

I'm not sure if it's possible.

- Yes. - Operating room number 2 is ready.

Understood.

Starting anesthesia, please give the Midazolam.

Patient, do you feel a bit dizzy?

Yes…

Please give the local anesthesia.

Corneal shield, please.

Number 15.

You want to remove the double eyelids?

Yes, I want to have monolids.

Is that kind of operation not possible?

By making an incision right above the eyelashes,

some people do get it removed, occasionally.

But, depending on the height or thickness of the double eyelid,

the possibility and method of surgery may vary.

So, it might not be possible?

You would have to consult with the director to know for sure.

Do you have a particular eye shape in mind?

Something like a sample photo.

You can show it to me.

Yes, here it is.

Oh?! This person…

The surgery went well.

Swelling may worsen for about 2 to 3 days,

but it will gradually subside, so please don't worry too much.

Yes, thank you.

It turned out well like the photo I showed you, right?

Now, you should look a bit more like your son.

Excuse me?

No, how did you…

Min-Min Seong! How did you get here?

Darn, what's this? Your eyes are all swollen!

Ah, why are you here?

What? Where are you trying to get surgery?

I don't know!

I'm sorry…

I thought I was the only one having a hard time…

Doctor,

since my son came all this way,

how about some surgery to make his nose just like mine?

No, my nose is better!

Ah, what do you mean, your nose is better? Dad's nose is better.

- I'm telling you my nose is better. - No, my nose is prettier.

Geez, really, you brat.

Are you okay?

Ever since he found out about the adoption a while ago,

I've heard the good father-son relationship became strained.

They both went their separate ways.

He is not even his real dad, so "why interfere? Mind your own business".

But how did you know?

That the two of them were father and son?

The hand around the shoulder in the photo

turned out to be Kim Hyun Seok's.

I just need to look like this person.

A photo taken together is still a photo, but

who else but family would look at you with such a gaze?

You're still the same.

Still?

Something like that.

Anyway, you've worked hard.

The unspoken feelings between the father and son

were clearly conveyed by you through the surgery.

Oh, my…

God!

It turned out so well!

A real jackpot!

It is definitely different from being a former model.

Exactly. What do we do?

What are you doing?

What are you all looking at so intently?

Manager, take a look at this.

I think this is all because of Director Cha.

Huh? Oh, that person!

She's so pretty, isn't she?

Oh, my, what's going on?

Although I received a skin graft,

[Jung Hee Young] I can't go back to exactly how I was before.

[Q. After overcoming the pain, what led you to stand on the final stage again?]

I was about to give up, but

someone told me that,

if I gave up like this,

I would be letting the assailants decide my life.

So I challenged myself.

My life… these scars too…

I decided not to hide them and to show them as they are.

New face, new dream!

This is it! This is what I was aiming for.

What a touching story this is.

Touching stories like this don't come along every day.

Director,

did you gather everyone here to talk about that?

Now, just wait a second.

If Jung Hee Young receives the award,

and we continue to take care of the aftermath,

where else in the world can you find such promotional effects?

So, let's all come together with one heart,

and support Jung Hee Young.

Got it? Let's watch it.

The rankings have finally been decided.

It's the result of combining the audience votes and the judges' scores.

We will now announce

K Beauty Model Contest's honorable 3rd place.

The prestigious 3rd place goes to

contestant number 13! Choi Mi Soon! Congratulations.

[3rd Place, Choi Mi Soon] Congratulatory applause, everyone.

I will now continue with the announcement of the 2nd place.

Second place,

number 23! Go Hee Jin!

[2nd Place, Go Hee Jin] Congratulations!

I will go out first.

Uh, hey!

First place… Only the first place remains.

Nobody can leave.

Would she ever become the first place?

There's no rule saying she can't!

But, there's no rule saying she will either.

Challenge! K Beauty Model Contest!

The final and most honorable first place,

number 29, Choi Soo Ah! Congratulations!

I told you, didn't I? This?

That becoming first place isn't easy, you know?

In the end, everything is just about appearance.

She must have fallen behind in the public vote because of the early rumors.

Ah, this can't just end like this! Right?

Lastly, Ms. Jung Hee Young,

who had the courage to stand up against injustice despite all disadvantages,

and who did not yield in the face of unfortunate circumstances,

showing a spirit of challenge,

and embodying what Château Cornell pursues,

the true essence of a woman.

Therefore, Château Cornell has decided to select Ms. Jung Hee Young

as the representative model for the East Asia region.

We just received the information through our headquarters!

Congratulations, Ms. Jung Hee Young!

- You said it couldn't be done. - What's with that face?

It's done!

It's settled!

The plastic surgery was superbly done, changed everything, including the heart.

[Jung Hee Young]

[Cha Jeong Woo]

The face of someone who did a good thing is really…

Smile.

Get your sugar refill, too.

Beautiful!

Such a beautiful fragrance!

Good.

Hey, Jeong Woo, won't you try a bit more?

- What? - The victim's dedicated doctor, I mean.

It strangely seems to suit you, even though it doesn't look like it would.

No, I mean, the partner doctor in Bintan is still on hold.

It's just that I didn't want you to feel disappointed.

It's because I have a surgery.

Is he doing it?

Or is he not?

Ugh, I sprayed too much.

[Thank you - Jung Hee Young]

[Seoul Southern Police Station]

Where have you been?

You were nowhere to be seen all night.

It's the guy who stole a car in Yeoksam-dong recently.

Anything new came out?

I heard a video came out, so I brought it.

Is there anything that could identify the person?

They didn't wear a mask here.

The quality is good, too…

It's hard to recognize the face accurately since he's wearing a cap pressed down.

Do you have any suspects in mind?

What?

No, I'm not sure.

But somehow, it feels familiar…

Really? Who?

Among those you've caught before, is there anyone who looks similar?

Well… I'll have to think about it.

I think I need to go somewhere.

Send me this video.

Yes.

Good work!

Who are you?

Lee Min Hyeong,

it's been a while.

You've become prettier since I last saw you.

[Face Me]

♫ I can't forget the day we first met ♫

♫ The wind was so cold ♫

♫ Your awkward greeting ♫

♫ Frozen, you were all I can see ♫

Do you have any idea who it might be after watching this?

Don't you have anything to say to me?

Please help!

I'm a police officer, what's the matter?

The delivery person who just ran out…

You are under arrest for unauthorized entry.

So, are you saying the wound wasn't caused by fragments falling and embedding themselves?

Judging by the shape of the wound, yes.

What the heck is this rat doing?

You've been investigating me as the culprit from the beginning, haven't you?

Is Detective Lee Min Hyeong with you now?

Are you there?

Are you crazy?

Lee Min Hyeong.

♫ I'm walking outside of your ♫
