Are you there?
Is there someone inside?
Mr. Lee Min Hyeong, you're in there, right?
Come on, quickly!
How…
Snap out of it, Woo Min Jae!
This isn't our first time.
We've done this before.
You can do it, right?
It's the same this time.
We have to do it.
If we're going to do it together,
we have to do this.
Yes.
It's nothing.
Just like that day on the rooftop,
just for a moment.
You just need to give a little push.
Hurry.
My head…
Ms. Lee Min Hyeong!
Mr. Woo Min Jae,
if you grip the knife like that,
your holding hand will get hurt, too.
And you, right now, it's attempted murder.
Min Jae, why did you do that?
Teacher…
Please help me.
Right now, I…
Teacher…
Why are you doing this to me?
Why?
No…
It wasn't me!
No!
- Min Jae!
- Are you okay?
Please follow Woo Min Jae.
[Seo Gang Ho]
- You're coming, right?
- Yes, I'm flying there.
[Seo Gang Ho]
What brings you here?
It seems I have some unfinished
business with Ms. Cho Soo Kyung.
Who do you think they will listen?
If I speak up,
you'll have to spend your life in prison.
No! I don't want that!
I'd rather die!
Just die!
Want to go to the police
station? Shall we talk there?
Do you want to spend your life in prison?
No, I won't go.
I'm not going to the police station.
I said I'm not going to the police station!
It's going to work now.
What would happen if this gets out?
This is an absolute secret, okay?
Whose word do you think they'll believe?
If I speak out, you'll have to
spend your life in prison.
- Hey!
- Let go!
I did everything the teacher told me to!
I did everything I was told to do.
It wasn't me.
I'm not a rapist or anything like that.
This must be it, right?
Okay, found it. Check communications
with Woo Min Jae.
Now, let's come clean.
Ah…
Who on earth ordered delivery
at that time like that?
I was wrong, please forgive me just this once.
I'll do everything you want, please.
Please don't report me.
Let go! Won't you let go?
I'll never do it again, never.
Let go, let go!
Just let go!
You can't keep your eyes off the young ones
on TV, so you can't keep your promise?
Can you do that to me?
What have I done to you?
Do it one more time.
And I'll make sure
you rot in prison as a rapist.
Delivery!
Even the one who made my face like this
wasn't that delivery guy.
You heard it, didn't you?
A confession just now.
It was almost a big trouble.
Well, thanks to that, we got to know
about the relationship between them.
Because Cho Soo Kyung suddenly screamed,
I missed Woo Min Jae approaching.
Anyway, thanks to Dr. Cha Jeong Woo,
we overcame a big crisis this time.
Indeed.
Was the delay of the deliveryman's
warrant hearing arranged by you?
I only delayed Woo Min Jae's assault charges.
We need to reassess the facts
regarding the home invasion.
Speaking of which,
during the deliveryman's questioning, did you…?
Don't you preserve the crime scene?
Hurry up and control it upstairs.
Yes, understood.
Are you okay?
Any dizziness or pain?
I'm not seriously injured to trouble you.
Anyway, thank you for helping.
Are the police made of something different?
Or…
don't you trust me as a doctor?
That's not it.
I'm really okay.
Why are you avoiding me?
It seems to be true.
Is there something bothering you?
That is not true at all.
It's all written on your face.
Cho Soo Kyung did her teacher
training with Woo Min Jae, and,
because of the rumors,
she cut off all personal relationships
and confined herself at home.
The examination showed that Woo Min Jae
was psychologically and physically
dependent on Cho Soo Kyung.
She had been gaslighting
Woo Min Jae for a long time.
You applied for a warrant
before the results came out?
It would have been disgraceful
if the warrant had been rejected.
What would you have done if it'd been declined?
Oh, Chief, it wasn't declined.
Detective Min Hyeong handled
the warrant review well--
I apologize, I will correct it.
The direct evidence?
Yes, the fiber of Cho Soo Kyung's sleepers
and the shards of mirror
collected from Woo Min Jae's chin
showed matching microfiber components.
That settles it.
They had a similar incident
in the past, didn't they?
Yes, we informed the relevant station,
and they informed us
that a reinvestigation would be initiated.
Okay, got it.
Next month is the evaluation period.
If Kim Seon Yong files a complaint
about the investigation,
we're all doomed, you know?
Make sure you all wrap it up well, got it?
- Yes, I understand.
- Let's go.
Still, with the non-prosecution decision,
it won't be a big issue, will it?
Even if it becomes a problem,
it's my problem, so don't worry about it.
Just prepare the transfer
documents for Cho Soo Kyung.
Yes.
If you think
there was any unfairness in the procedure…
Unfairness in the procedure?
What kind of procedure?
I admit the investigation process was hasty.
I should have examined the scene better…
That's not it.
You never intended to listen
to me from the beginning.
If we're saying different things,
even if as an ex-convict, shouldn't
we at least be listened first?
It's not about dismissing without listening.
What's there to talk about
if you're sitting there
with your ears plugged?
[Student-Teacher Gaslighting]
Hey! This case is about our hospital,
but we are hardly mentioned? Huh?
This time, Director Cha
played a remarkable role
with his keen analysis of the injury!
Immediately caught the
guardian's suspicious behavior!
Jeong Woo, if you keep this up
won't you be heading to the police
station instead of Bintan?
Indeed.
Why do you keep getting involved in cases?
And quite voluntarily?
Think whatever you want.
Hey, Jeong Woo,
did you grab a drink with Detective Lee after?
What after?
Oh, you know…
Thanks to you, the case was solved.
Shouldn't Detective Lee buy
you a drink or something?
In the clink of glasses
and the exchange of glances,
you come to realize the true value
of getting involved in this case.
And there's this thing about you being mine
but not mine, you know what I mean, right?
It was manipulation disguised as help.
Seriously…
Why?
You told us to think whatever we want.
Hm?
Well, anyway,
if he put up walls for 7 years,
it's about time he let someone in.
Ah, so you're just going to let Jeong Woo
keep bringing victims like that?
Brother,
now is not the time to worry
about someone else's love life.
You should be worrying
about running the hospital, right?
- Just do it well.
- Okay.
Why didn't you tell me
that Jin Seok was released on parole?
He asked me to wait.
He said he would tell you
once he was settled down.
Perhaps,
do you know where he went
on the day he was released?
D-Did something happen?
What do you mean?
How could he have caused trouble
when he had just been released?
I just wanted to see you.
[Credit Card Statement]
Even though I raised him without money,
my son knows very well
how far he can and can't go.
Your brother must have suffered
a lot because of that incident.
Mom… you
still believe in my brother.
Even this fabric
must be punctured by many needles before
thread can pass and turn it into clothes.
After your heart has suffered many holes,
only after being entwined
with people around like this,
only then will you properly fulfill
your role as a person.
Thinking you are better than others,
even if you try not to
let your heart be pierced,
you're just a piece of fabric.
I was so happy to have lost 12kg in a month,
but the jawline collapsed and the
skin sagged. It's a complete mess.
I'll try my best to lift the sagging
part under the cheek here
and improve the drooping feeling.
I'll only trust you.
It will settle in place, so don't worry.
Are you married, doctor?
Well, do men
remember the first time
a woman wears the wedding dress,
more than at the whole wedding?
I was wondering if that's really true…
I'll see you in the surgery room.
Anyway, I'm counting on you, doctor.
[Jangeop Taxi]
Yes, I found it.
The person who paid
around 22:50 three weeks ago.
That customer got off in front
of Nakwon Apartment in Gangsin-gu…
At Nam Gi Taek's house?
It's Lee Jin Seok, who was paroled last month.
It seems he's not at the registered residence.
There are quite a few cases
of moving residences temporarily for jobs.
Is he involved in any incident?
It's because we need to verify
a person related to another case.
Please contact me as soon as
the actual residence is confirmed.
Yes, please take care.
Thank you.
Udon and soju, please.
I followed you after seeing you come in.
I'm also a regular here.
Ah!
Ah, yes.
Did you check out the guy who was following me?
There are many piled-up cases.
I'll check it out whenever I have time.
That… you asked me to confirm
the release of that person
you have in mind, right?
Lee Jin Seok.
Yes, Lee Jin Seok.
What are you going to do after confirming that?
If the police take measures to ensure
he never shows up around here again,
there's no need for you to find him…
Seven years ago,
a month before we get married,
she was killed by that man.
Even if I take revenge,
isn't it something I must do?
I'll just have one drink as well.
Uh, bitter!
Losing someone who was to become family…
must be truly painful and sad.
But, family can really
be troublesome if you have it,
and troublesome if you don't, it seems.
For me, having a family
is truly a source of distress.
You are distressed because you have one…
That's true, I feel the same way.
What? You're laughing?
You know how to laugh? I didn't realize.
I'm not such an emotionally stunted person.
Yes, that's right.
I see.
But…
So, what?
If you confirm that person's release,
what do you intend to do?
- Revenge or some--
- That's what you said.
Because of his grudge against me,
he could have faked Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death.
If by any chance that death
was really because of me…
Why would that be because of you?
There's no direct connection with you.
It's not a medical accident, nor is it
a matter that requires legal liability.
So, why stick "because" onto it? Why would you?
If there's any wrongdoing, it's nonsensical
to be blaming the victim's boyfriend.
That person, Lee Jin Seok…
Ah, anyway, don't blame yourself.
You're blaming yourself for nothing.
Are you leaving?
Half a glass is enough.
I'll just have half a glass.
Then, cheers!
Min Hyeong,
if you're going to meddle,
you must consider the person
and situation when you do it!
I'm sorry.
[Nam Hyo Ju]
Hello? Ms. Hyo Ju, what's the matter?
Lee Jin Seok came out, right?
[Parole: From April 10, 2023, to June 30, 2025,
A report was requested from the authorities]
They say he was paroled
on the 10th of last month.
Are you okay?
Did you find out anything else?
While in prison,
he kept saying he wasn't properly investigated
because of the victim's boyfriend.
He is saying
- he didn't do it?
- Don't pay attention to that
and let's just report it first.
Looking at the investigation
material from that time,
they say Lee Jin Seok's sister is a cop.
Let's find this person first
to make them aware--
Chae Kyung,
I need to catch that rat first.
[You know the killer, don't you?]
Okay, I'll look into it.
You're saying this was found
in the corner of the veranda?
But why…?
When the crime scene officer
was examining the scene,
they asked if it was my father's,
I said yes and kept it.
But,
when I was about to put it
with my father's keepsakes…
[Good Hands Medical Association]
I'm sorry, but,
I thought it was my dad's, so I cleaned it.
Just in case, I will investigate it.
Upon looking,
it seemed like some kind
of doctors' volunteer group.
They apparently did volunteer work
at the prison where my dad was.
The man you showed me in the photo
was also in the same prison as my father.
I'm not sure who it belongs to…
But, just in case.
The man you showed me in the photo
was also in the same prison as my father.
On the day the released Lee Jin Seok came here,
Nam Gi Taek died.
And an item presumed to be Lee Jin Seok's
was found on the home veranda.
[Jeongjin Surveillance Officer]
I have confirmed Lee Jin Seok's residence.
- I got the address.
- Really? Where is it?
No, send it to through text message.
But, do you have to meet him?
Yeah, do me a favor. Send it by text.
There is a first-time patient,
saying she would like to get filler treatment,
do you have time?
I have an urgent matter to attend to.
Director Han is here, right?
Yes, I'll do it, sure.
I'll do the consultation right away
in the treatment room.
Yes.
What is Director Cha doing?
These days, with surgeries getting
canceled, he should have a lot of time.
Just because he's removed scars
from a few crime victims,
he thinks cosmetic surgery
is insignificant, or what?
He left for the day, said he had work to do.
Hmm, he went early.
- Hmm? What?
- Yes.
But he was supposed to
have dinner with me tonight.
We scheduled it a month ago,
and he just went home? Why?
I wouldn't know.
Since it was something between you two.
Why?
Ah… how do I get him to come later?
He can't be controlled.
Just a prick.
You endured it well.
I'll hold it.
It's done.
Wow! Maybe, because your lip line is so pretty,
the volume looks incredibly charming.
Nurse Choi, please show the mirror.
Here, take a look.
But the chin and forehead
are a bit disappointing.
Why?
If you look here, since
the lip volume has been added,
the chin and forehead look
somewhat subdued in comparison.
If you added a bit more here,
the dimensionality would make
the lines look more sophisticated.
Shall we add a bit more
with an additional procedure?
Why are you here?
Why did you come here, Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
Why are you here?
Why did you come here, Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
To meet Lee Jin Seok.
What are you going to do by meeting him?
Are you going to take
personal revenge or something?
A person who has been sentenced
and served his time,
and continues to deny the crime.
What does that mean?
Did you meet Lee Jin Seok?
[You know the killer, don't you?]
Just wait.
Because I have something prepared as well.
Let's say he can clam
he didn't do it, and it's unfair.
But, why does he need to direct
those words at me?
What's his intention?
How about the investigation on Mr. Nam Gi Taek?
Has it been confirmed
that Lee Jin Seok was involved?
I'm still looking into it,
but there's nothing certain yet.
If you're not here because that has
been confirmed, then why are you here?
Hey, Jeong Woo, where are you?
Hurry to the hospital, will you?
What happened?
I did the filler treatment for you,
and the situation now… I really…
What's the situation? What happened…
Hello?
Contact me if you find Lee Jin Seok.
Look at that expression. Look at it, will you?
That refreshed face, satisfied
with a perfect procedure, huh?
You saw it, right?
Hey Jeong Woo, my molding today
was absolutely fantastic.
I've made this chin-end into a V
without a scalpel, you know?
I thought there was a problem.
Ah, that's why you ran out so startled?
Hey, how can you forget our
appointment and leave work early?
Especially an appointment made a month ago.
And then you use an accident as an excuse?
Are you someone who just comes when called?
Besides,
I just trailed off at the end of my sentence.
I never even brought up the "ac" of "accident".
It's annoying that you misinterpreted it
as "accident", you know?
- Did you forget?
- Huh?
Last year, while you were inserting fillers…
Hey, it's late. Hurry up and leave. Let's go.
- But, to where?
- Huh?
I'll set the navigation,
you can just follow it.
Ok.
The fingerprints collected from the keychain
belonged only to Ms. Nam Hyo Ju.
I checked to see if there might be
other DNA between the stitches,
but it failed.
Understood.
- Thank you for your hard work.
- Yes.
[Good Hands Medical Association]
[Cheongsu Medical Volunteer, 2022.10.10]
Madam, you remember that, don't you?
Was it when I was in the first year
of high school, or the second?
That time when Jeong Woo and I were going
to make a birthday cake for you,
we put it in the oven and
ended up going out to play basketball
because we couldn't wait,
and it all burned up,
setting off the fire alarms,
triggering all the sprinklers.
Madam, how many fire trucks came that time?
Wow! Just thinking about that time
makes it seem so distant, right?
Did that really happen?
Jeong Woo, don't you remember? Huh?
What, you got nothing to talk?
I came to say goodbye
before leaving the country.
Because I have to see you at least once.
Thank you for the meal.
Are you running away to Bintan?
Dwelling in the past, reminiscing
about someone who's gone.
Are you trying to waste your life?
Enough with that.
Let's get through this good day well.
Hey, sit down too.
To mother, she might have been
a non-existent person from the start,
but to me, not for a single moment
has she ever been a non-existent person.
Hey, stop it Jeong Woo, ok? Hey!
Hey, where are you going? Hey, Cha Jeong Woo!
Hey, Cha Jeong Woo!
Hey, do some damage control.
Just how long will it…
Madam, please don't worry too much
about it, it's just something I said.
He is being sensitive again today.
It was good, right?
Hello, this is Yoon Seo Hee.
Yes, who is this?
What do you need from me, detective?
Jeong Woo! Hey, Cha Jeong Woo! You!
Are you really just going to leave like this?
Please check the partner doctor's schedule.
So that approval comes quickly.
It's true, he's fleeing.
If you run away because it hurts
every time your wounds are touched,
it won't hurt anymore?
You know that letting it fester
will only lead to inflammation
till it bursts, you frustrating brat.
Hey, you might as well
tell her everything you should
and shouldn't say.
Expose all that painful things inside,
and stop pretending to be fine.
I know.
That your past isn't something
that can be easily forgotten.
I have no memories that can be forgotten,
that's why I can't forget.
See you at the hospital.
Hey, Cha…
Madam, please don't worry
too much about Jeong Woo.
Besides, he's probably worrying
about it again after all that.
Since it's your birthday.
Huh?
Detective Lee?
Director Han, why are you here?
Are you the detective who called?
What is the matter you
wanted to discuss with me?
But, if you take fingerprints from this,
you can quickly find out who it is, right?
You know, like the DNA?
Unfortunately, the person who found it
accidentally wiped off the fingerprints.
Ah… I see…
I heard that you organized Good
Hands Medical Association volunteer.
Yes, that's the souvenir from the volunteer
service at Cheongsoo Prison last year.
Do you happen to have a list of the inmates
who received medical treatment at that time?
Ah…
Ah, I'm sorry, but
those people are quite reluctant
to disclose their personal information.
We often provide medical care
without knowing their names.
Ah, I am also part of the volunteer group.
Then,
do you remember this person?
He was an inmate at that time.
I wonder if he participated
in the volunteer program.
This person…
Why? Do you know him?
Hye Jin…
What?
Do you know about… that incident?
Ah, she's Director Cha's mother.
Why is the police looking for this person?
It's confidential to the
investigation, so I can't say.
Has this person been released?
Thank you for your time.
[Domestic Schedule]
[Cheongsoo Prison]
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
Madam, I'll be going in now.
Yes, please speak, Ms. Hyo Ju.
How about
asking the lady next door about that man?
Ah, that's a good idea.
Detective!
She said she saw the perpetrator
on the day of the incident, right?
I'll leave right away. Yes.
What's the matter?
Hm… the person in the photo you just showed us.
That person was in the same prison as the one
who committed suicide because of Director Cha.
I'm already aware of that.
Both of them participated in our program
and were model prisoners.
I just checked with a group photo.
- Yes, thank you.
- Yes.
[Cha Jeong Woo]
The subscriber is not available…
I'm not sure about the face,
I just saw him passing.
There might be parts you
saw, but don't remember.
Even the smallest detail
could help, if you mention it.
But, I really don't know.
It was just too dark.
Well…
I think I can only help
with the dashcam footage.
Regarding this matter,
I'd prefer if you didn't come
looking for me again.
Sure, thank you for your cooperation.
I'll find out more and get back to you.
Jeong Woo…
I'm sorry…
I should have told you earlier.
This is the 112 emergency center.
Please help.
My girlfriend is alone at home.
Hye Jin…
Are you okay?
Bring the stretcher quickly
Please say something.
What's your name?
Are you okay?
Jeong Woo!
- You woke up?
- Jeong Woo!
What about Hye Jin?
While looking at dresses…
Hye Jin must be worried.
Why did you do that? Why?
Why did you do that? Why?
Ah, let go!
Hey, Director Cha,
do you feel a bit better after doing that?
Why are you here?
Did you have to do that
in front of your mother?
You're her only son, isn't that too much?
I got it.
Ah, I met Detective Lee.
Why did you meet her?
The guy who tailed you in the parking lot
is Lee Jin Seok, right?
What did you hear?
Did you know that person was released?
What did Detective Lee say?
Ah, she was desperately looking for him
because of Mr. Nam Gi Taek's case.
Wait, stay still for a second.
Knowing that these two were prison mates,
she even came to your mother's hospital.
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
Seeing that the relationship
between them is confirmed,
it's clear that Lee Jin Seok was
involved in Nam Gi Taek's death.
She knew about the relationship
between the two?
Did she say something different to you?
- I'll go first.
- Hey…
Somehow, I feel anxious again.
Huh? Isn't that the guy you saw the other day?
The phone keeps being switched off.
Check the last known location
where it was turned off.
And request work cooperation
for real-time location tracking.
What case is it?
Is it related to the internal
investigation of Mr. Nam Gi Taek?
Do you want to eat chicken together?
You don't like being alone, do you?
I'm going to leave this place.
I'm planning to go to a relative's
house abroad and look for a job.
Being a witness to the incident
feels somewhat unsettling.
I'm sorry.
Hey,
it's not that I'm saying this
to get an apology from you.
If you have somewhere to go,
you should look into it.
Wherever you live,
it's not an impediment
to your drawing or anything.
I am…
a little scared of this place now.

Lee Jin Seok… 15 Years in Prison]
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery - Resort Plan]
Looking at the investigation material from
that time, Lee Jin Seok's sister is a cop.
I have someone in mind.
The person who did this to you.
What?
Why are you so surprised?
A month before we get married,
she was killed by that man.
A person who has been
sentenced and served his time,
and continues to deny the crime.
What does that mean?
Did you meet Lee Jin Seok?
Are you not going home?
You should sleep at home.
This girl really…
She won't wake up, huh?
Lee Jin Seok!
You seem flustered.
Because it's not the person you were expecting.
What happened?
Why?
Are you afraid
I did something to your brother?
Hey, Dr. Cha Jeong Woo…
How long were you planning to deceive me?
I need to find out
the reason Lee Jin Seok hangs around you
and about the death of Mr. Nam Gi Taek.
As the family of the offender,
I thought apologizing and feeling sorry
was something I could do later.
So, what did you find out?
If you secretly investigate this by yourself,
what will it matter if you find something?
Isn't it over if you just cover it up?
I'm sorry for dragging out the time
without finding any solid evidence,
but don't rashly presume
and distort someone's intentions.
Why Lee Jin Seok appeared before me?
Why does he deny the crime,
even after being in jail?
Was it really to revenge on me…
that he killed Nam Gi Taek?
Find out
where Lee Jin Seok is right now.
You have to find him before I do.
Hello? 112 Emergency…
[Miss Lee Jin Kyung]
It's that man.
That man from the day the neighbor died.
He's in my house right now.
Lee Jin Seok?
Hyo Ju is in danger.
Please help, I beg you!
Miss Hyo Ju!
Code Zero occurring with
Ms. Nam Hyo Ju right now.
Request urgent dispatch to
Nakwon Apartment in Gangsin-gu.
Are you talking about Nam Hyo Ju,
Nam Gi Taek's daughter?
We'll talk about it later.
Stop it!
[Face Me]
♫ In your eyes ♫
Blood pressure is dropping.
It's an arrest.
Two, three.
It seems Miss Hyo Ju scratched
the perpetrator's wrist while resisting.
If you really wanted to take revenge on me,
you should have taken the knife to me.
Please issue a warrant for Lee Jin Seok.
You, back off from this.
What's so hard? It isn't hard at all!
Please call for Lawyer Park
Chae Kyung just once, alright?
What if there is a different culprit?
A retrial?
What do you want to hear that made you
chase after me this late at night?
What's the real reason you're doing this to me?
You know, don't you? Who that guy is.
You know, don't you?
♫ Why don't you talk to me ♫

Are you there?
Is there someone inside?
Mr. Lee Min Hyeong, you're in there, right?
Come on, quickly!
How…
Snap out of it, Woo Min Jae!
This isn't our first time.
We've done this before.
You can do it, right?
It's the same this time.
We have to do it.
If we're going to do it together,
we have to do this.
Yes.
It's nothing.
Just like that day on the rooftop,
just for a moment.
You just need to give a little push.
Hurry.
My head…
Ms. Lee Min Hyeong!
Mr. Woo Min Jae,
if you grip the knife like that,
your holding hand will get hurt, too.
And you, right now, it's attempted murder.
Min Jae, why did you do that?
Teacher…
Please help me.
Right now, I…
Teacher…
Why are you doing this to me?
Why?
No…
It wasn't me!
No!
- Min Jae!
- Are you okay?
Please follow Woo Min Jae.
[Seo Gang Ho]
- You're coming, right?
- Yes, I'm flying there.
[Seo Gang Ho]
What brings you here?
It seems I have some unfinished
business with Ms. Cho Soo Kyung.
Who do you think they will listen?
If I speak up,
you'll have to spend your life in prison.
No! I don't want that!
I'd rather die!
Just die!
Want to go to the police
station? Shall we talk there?
Do you want to spend your life in prison?
No, I won't go.
I'm not going to the police station.
I said I'm not going to the police station!
It's going to work now.
What would happen if this gets out?
This is an absolute secret, okay?
Whose word do you think they'll believe?
If I speak out, you'll have to
spend your life in prison.
- Hey!
- Let go!
I did everything the teacher told me to!
I did everything I was told to do.
It wasn't me.
I'm not a rapist or anything like that.
This must be it, right?
Okay, found it. Check communications
with Woo Min Jae.
Now, let's come clean.
Ah…
Who on earth ordered delivery
at that time like that?
I was wrong, please forgive me just this once.
I'll do everything you want, please.
Please don't report me.
Let go! Won't you let go?
I'll never do it again, never.
Let go, let go!
Just let go!
You can't keep your eyes off the young ones
on TV, so you can't keep your promise?
Can you do that to me?
What have I done to you?
Do it one more time.
And I'll make sure
you rot in prison as a rapist.
Delivery!
Even the one who made my face like this
wasn't that delivery guy.
You heard it, didn't you?
A confession just now.
It was almost a big trouble.
Well, thanks to that, we got to know
about the relationship between them.
Because Cho Soo Kyung suddenly screamed,
I missed Woo Min Jae approaching.
Anyway, thanks to Dr. Cha Jeong Woo,
we overcame a big crisis this time.
Indeed.
Was the delay of the deliveryman's
warrant hearing arranged by you?
I only delayed Woo Min Jae's assault charges.
We need to reassess the facts
regarding the home invasion.
Speaking of which,
during the deliveryman's questioning, did you…?
Don't you preserve the crime scene?
Hurry up and control it upstairs.
Yes, understood.
Are you okay?
Any dizziness or pain?
I'm not seriously injured to trouble you.
Anyway, thank you for helping.
Are the police made of something different?
Or…
don't you trust me as a doctor?
That's not it.
I'm really okay.
Why are you avoiding me?
It seems to be true.
Is there something bothering you?
That is not true at all.
It's all written on your face.
Cho Soo Kyung did her teacher
training with Woo Min Jae, and,
because of the rumors,
she cut off all personal relationships
and confined herself at home.
The examination showed that Woo Min Jae
was psychologically and physically
dependent on Cho Soo Kyung.
She had been gaslighting
Woo Min Jae for a long time.
You applied for a warrant
before the results came out?
It would have been disgraceful
if the warrant had been rejected.
What would you have done if it'd been declined?
Oh, Chief, it wasn't declined.
Detective Min Hyeong handled
the warrant review well--
I apologize, I will correct it.
The direct evidence?
Yes, the fiber of Cho Soo Kyung's sleepers
and the shards of mirror
collected from Woo Min Jae's chin
showed matching microfiber components.
That settles it.
They had a similar incident
in the past, didn't they?
Yes, we informed the relevant station,
and they informed us
that a reinvestigation would be initiated.
Okay, got it.
Next month is the evaluation period.
If Kim Seon Yong files a complaint
about the investigation,
we're all doomed, you know?
Make sure you all wrap it up well, got it?
- Yes, I understand.
- Let's go.
Still, with the non-prosecution decision,
it won't be a big issue, will it?
Even if it becomes a problem,
it's my problem, so don't worry about it.
Just prepare the transfer
documents for Cho Soo Kyung.
Yes.
If you think
there was any unfairness in the procedure…
Unfairness in the procedure?
What kind of procedure?
I admit the investigation process was hasty.
I should have examined the scene better…
That's not it.
You never intended to listen
to me from the beginning.
If we're saying different things,
even if as an ex-convict, shouldn't
we at least be listened first?
It's not about dismissing without listening.
What's there to talk about
if you're sitting there
with your ears plugged?
[Student-Teacher Gaslighting]
Hey! This case is about our hospital,
but we are hardly mentioned? Huh?
This time, Director Cha
played a remarkable role
with his keen analysis of the injury!
Immediately caught the
guardian's suspicious behavior!
Jeong Woo, if you keep this up
won't you be heading to the police
station instead of Bintan?
Indeed.
Why do you keep getting involved in cases?
And quite voluntarily?
Think whatever you want.
Hey, Jeong Woo,
did you grab a drink with Detective Lee after?
What after?
Oh, you know…
Thanks to you, the case was solved.
Shouldn't Detective Lee buy
you a drink or something?
In the clink of glasses
and the exchange of glances,
you come to realize the true value
of getting involved in this case.
And there's this thing about you being mine
but not mine, you know what I mean, right?
It was manipulation disguised as help.
Seriously…
Why?
You told us to think whatever we want.
Hm?
Well, anyway,
if he put up walls for 7 years,
it's about time he let someone in.
Ah, so you're just going to let Jeong Woo
keep bringing victims like that?
Brother,
now is not the time to worry
about someone else's love life.
You should be worrying
about running the hospital, right?
- Just do it well.
- Okay.
Why didn't you tell me
that Jin Seok was released on parole?
He asked me to wait.
He said he would tell you
once he was settled down.
Perhaps,
do you know where he went
on the day he was released?
D-Did something happen?
What do you mean?
How could he have caused trouble
when he had just been released?
I just wanted to see you.
[Credit Card Statement]
Even though I raised him without money,
my son knows very well
how far he can and can't go.
Your brother must have suffered
a lot because of that incident.
Mom… you
still believe in my brother.
Even this fabric
must be punctured by many needles before
thread can pass and turn it into clothes.
After your heart has suffered many holes,
only after being entwined
with people around like this,
only then will you properly fulfill
your role as a person.
Thinking you are better than others,
even if you try not to
let your heart be pierced,
you're just a piece of fabric.
I was so happy to have lost 12kg in a month,
but the jawline collapsed and the
skin sagged. It's a complete mess.
I'll try my best to lift the sagging
part under the cheek here
and improve the drooping feeling.
I'll only trust you.
It will settle in place, so don't worry.
Are you married, doctor?
Well, do men
remember the first time
a woman wears the wedding dress,
more than at the whole wedding?
I was wondering if that's really true…
I'll see you in the surgery room.
Anyway, I'm counting on you, doctor.
[Jangeop Taxi]
Yes, I found it.
The person who paid
around 22:50 three weeks ago.
That customer got off in front
of Nakwon Apartment in Gangsin-gu…
At Nam Gi Taek's house?
It's Lee Jin Seok, who was paroled last month.
It seems he's not at the registered residence.
There are quite a few cases
of moving residences temporarily for jobs.
Is he involved in any incident?
It's because we need to verify
a person related to another case.
Please contact me as soon as
the actual residence is confirmed.
Yes, please take care.
Thank you.
Udon and soju, please.
I followed you after seeing you come in.
I'm also a regular here.
Ah!
Ah, yes.
Did you check out the guy who was following me?
There are many piled-up cases.
I'll check it out whenever I have time.
That… you asked me to confirm
the release of that person
you have in mind, right?
Lee Jin Seok.
Yes, Lee Jin Seok.
What are you going to do after confirming that?
If the police take measures to ensure
he never shows up around here again,
there's no need for you to find him…
Seven years ago,
a month before we get married,
she was killed by that man.
Even if I take revenge,
isn't it something I must do?
I'll just have one drink as well.
Uh, bitter!
Losing someone who was to become family…
must be truly painful and sad.
But, family can really
be troublesome if you have it,
and troublesome if you don't, it seems.
For me, having a family
is truly a source of distress.
You are distressed because you have one…
That's true, I feel the same way.
What? You're laughing?
You know how to laugh? I didn't realize.
I'm not such an emotionally stunted person.
Yes, that's right.
I see.
But…
So, what?
If you confirm that person's release,
what do you intend to do?
- Revenge or some--
- That's what you said.
Because of his grudge against me,
he could have faked Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death.
If by any chance that death
was really because of me…
Why would that be because of you?
There's no direct connection with you.
It's not a medical accident, nor is it
a matter that requires legal liability.
So, why stick "because" onto it? Why would you?
If there's any wrongdoing, it's nonsensical
to be blaming the victim's boyfriend.
That person, Lee Jin Seok…
Ah, anyway, don't blame yourself.
You're blaming yourself for nothing.
Are you leaving?
Half a glass is enough.
I'll just have half a glass.
Then, cheers!
Min Hyeong,
if you're going to meddle,
you must consider the person
and situation when you do it!
I'm sorry.
[Nam Hyo Ju]
Hello? Ms. Hyo Ju, what's the matter?
Lee Jin Seok came out, right?
[Parole: From April 10, 2023, to June 30, 2025,
A report was requested from the authorities]
They say he was paroled
on the 10th of last month.
Are you okay?
Did you find out anything else?
While in prison,
he kept saying he wasn't properly investigated
because of the victim's boyfriend.
He is saying
- he didn't do it?
- Don't pay attention to that
and let's just report it first.
Looking at the investigation
material from that time,
they say Lee Jin Seok's sister is a cop.
Let's find this person first
to make them aware--
Chae Kyung,
I need to catch that rat first.
[You know the killer, don't you?]
Okay, I'll look into it.
You're saying this was found
in the corner of the veranda?
But why…?
When the crime scene officer
was examining the scene,
they asked if it was my father's,
I said yes and kept it.
But,
when I was about to put it
with my father's keepsakes…
[Good Hands Medical Association]
I'm sorry, but,
I thought it was my dad's, so I cleaned it.
Just in case, I will investigate it.
Upon looking,
it seemed like some kind
of doctors' volunteer group.
They apparently did volunteer work
at the prison where my dad was.
The man you showed me in the photo
was also in the same prison as my father.
I'm not sure who it belongs to…
But, just in case.
The man you showed me in the photo
was also in the same prison as my father.
On the day the released Lee Jin Seok came here,
Nam Gi Taek died.
And an item presumed to be Lee Jin Seok's
was found on the home veranda.
[Jeongjin Surveillance Officer]
I have confirmed Lee Jin Seok's residence.
- I got the address.
- Really? Where is it?
No, send it to through text message.
But, do you have to meet him?
Yeah, do me a favor. Send it by text.
There is a first-time patient,
saying she would like to get filler treatment,
do you have time?
I have an urgent matter to attend to.
Director Han is here, right?
Yes, I'll do it, sure.
I'll do the consultation right away
in the treatment room.
Yes.
What is Director Cha doing?
These days, with surgeries getting
canceled, he should have a lot of time.
Just because he's removed scars
from a few crime victims,
he thinks cosmetic surgery
is insignificant, or what?
He left for the day, said he had work to do.
Hmm, he went early.
- Hmm? What?
- Yes.
But he was supposed to
have dinner with me tonight.
We scheduled it a month ago,
and he just went home? Why?
I wouldn't know.
Since it was something between you two.
Why?
Ah… how do I get him to come later?
He can't be controlled.
Just a prick.
You endured it well.
I'll hold it.
It's done.
Wow! Maybe, because your lip line is so pretty,
the volume looks incredibly charming.
Nurse Choi, please show the mirror.
Here, take a look.
But the chin and forehead
are a bit disappointing.
Why?
If you look here, since
the lip volume has been added,
the chin and forehead look
somewhat subdued in comparison.
If you added a bit more here,
the dimensionality would make
the lines look more sophisticated.
Shall we add a bit more
with an additional procedure?
Why are you here?
Why did you come here, Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
Why are you here?
Why did you come here, Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?
To meet Lee Jin Seok.
What are you going to do by meeting him?
Are you going to take
personal revenge or something?
A person who has been sentenced
and served his time,
and continues to deny the crime.
What does that mean?
Did you meet Lee Jin Seok?
[You know the killer, don't you?]
Just wait.
Because I have something prepared as well.
Let's say he can clam
he didn't do it, and it's unfair.
But, why does he need to direct
those words at me?
What's his intention?
How about the investigation on Mr. Nam Gi Taek?
Has it been confirmed
that Lee Jin Seok was involved?
I'm still looking into it,
but there's nothing certain yet.
If you're not here because that has
been confirmed, then why are you here?
Hey, Jeong Woo, where are you?
Hurry to the hospital, will you?
What happened?
I did the filler treatment for you,
and the situation now… I really…
What's the situation? What happened…
Hello?
Contact me if you find Lee Jin Seok.
Look at that expression. Look at it, will you?
That refreshed face, satisfied
with a perfect procedure, huh?
You saw it, right?
Hey Jeong Woo, my molding today
was absolutely fantastic.
I've made this chin-end into a V
without a scalpel, you know?
I thought there was a problem.
Ah, that's why you ran out so startled?
Hey, how can you forget our
appointment and leave work early?
Especially an appointment made a month ago.
And then you use an accident as an excuse?
Are you someone who just comes when called?
Besides,
I just trailed off at the end of my sentence.
I never even brought up the "ac" of "accident".
It's annoying that you misinterpreted it
as "accident", you know?
- Did you forget?
- Huh?
Last year, while you were inserting fillers…
Hey, it's late. Hurry up and leave. Let's go.
- But, to where?
- Huh?
I'll set the navigation,
you can just follow it.
Ok.
The fingerprints collected from the keychain
belonged only to Ms. Nam Hyo Ju.
I checked to see if there might be
other DNA between the stitches,
but it failed.
Understood.
- Thank you for your hard work.
- Yes.
[Good Hands Medical Association]
[Cheongsu Medical Volunteer, 2022.10.10]
Madam, you remember that, don't you?
Was it when I was in the first year
of high school, or the second?
That time when Jeong Woo and I were going
to make a birthday cake for you,
we put it in the oven and
ended up going out to play basketball
because we couldn't wait,
and it all burned up,
setting off the fire alarms,
triggering all the sprinklers.
Madam, how many fire trucks came that time?
Wow! Just thinking about that time
makes it seem so distant, right?
Did that really happen?
Jeong Woo, don't you remember? Huh?
What, you got nothing to talk?
I came to say goodbye
before leaving the country.
Because I have to see you at least once.
Thank you for the meal.
Are you running away to Bintan?
Dwelling in the past, reminiscing
about someone who's gone.
Are you trying to waste your life?
Enough with that.
Let's get through this good day well.
Hey, sit down too.
To mother, she might have been
a non-existent person from the start,
but to me, not for a single moment
has she ever been a non-existent person.
Hey, stop it Jeong Woo, ok? Hey!
Hey, where are you going? Hey, Cha Jeong Woo!
Hey, Cha Jeong Woo!
Hey, do some damage control.
Just how long will it…
Madam, please don't worry too much
about it, it's just something I said.
He is being sensitive again today.
It was good, right?
Hello, this is Yoon Seo Hee.
Yes, who is this?
What do you need from me, detective?
Jeong Woo! Hey, Cha Jeong Woo! You!
Are you really just going to leave like this?
Please check the partner doctor's schedule.
So that approval comes quickly.
It's true, he's fleeing.
If you run away because it hurts
every time your wounds are touched,
it won't hurt anymore?
You know that letting it fester
will only lead to inflammation
till it bursts, you frustrating brat.
Hey, you might as well
tell her everything you should
and shouldn't say.
Expose all that painful things inside,
and stop pretending to be fine.
I know.
That your past isn't something
that can be easily forgotten.
I have no memories that can be forgotten,
that's why I can't forget.
See you at the hospital.
Hey, Cha…
Madam, please don't worry
too much about Jeong Woo.
Besides, he's probably worrying
about it again after all that.
Since it's your birthday.
Huh?
Detective Lee?
Director Han, why are you here?
Are you the detective who called?
What is the matter you
wanted to discuss with me?
But, if you take fingerprints from this,
you can quickly find out who it is, right?
You know, like the DNA?
Unfortunately, the person who found it
accidentally wiped off the fingerprints.
Ah… I see…
I heard that you organized Good
Hands Medical Association volunteer.
Yes, that's the souvenir from the volunteer
service at Cheongsoo Prison last year.
Do you happen to have a list of the inmates
who received medical treatment at that time?
Ah…
Ah, I'm sorry, but
those people are quite reluctant
to disclose their personal information.
We often provide medical care
without knowing their names.
Ah, I am also part of the volunteer group.
Then,
do you remember this person?
He was an inmate at that time.
I wonder if he participated
in the volunteer program.
This person…
Why? Do you know him?
Hye Jin…
What?
Do you know about… that incident?
Ah, she's Director Cha's mother.
Why is the police looking for this person?
It's confidential to the
investigation, so I can't say.
Has this person been released?
Thank you for your time.
[Domestic Schedule]
[Cheongsoo Prison]
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
Madam, I'll be going in now.
Yes, please speak, Ms. Hyo Ju.
How about
asking the lady next door about that man?
Ah, that's a good idea.
Detective!
She said she saw the perpetrator
on the day of the incident, right?
I'll leave right away. Yes.
What's the matter?
Hm… the person in the photo you just showed us.
That person was in the same prison as the one
who committed suicide because of Director Cha.
I'm already aware of that.
Both of them participated in our program
and were model prisoners.
I just checked with a group photo.
- Yes, thank you.
- Yes.
[Cha Jeong Woo]
The subscriber is not available…
I'm not sure about the face,
I just saw him passing.
There might be parts you
saw, but don't remember.
Even the smallest detail
could help, if you mention it.
But, I really don't know.
It was just too dark.
Well…
I think I can only help
with the dashcam footage.
Regarding this matter,
I'd prefer if you didn't come
looking for me again.
Sure, thank you for your cooperation.
I'll find out more and get back to you.
Jeong Woo…
I'm sorry…
I should have told you earlier.
This is the 112 emergency center.
Please help.
My girlfriend is alone at home.
Hye Jin…
Are you okay?
Bring the stretcher quickly
Please say something.
What's your name?
Are you okay?
Jeong Woo!
- You woke up?
- Jeong Woo!
What about Hye Jin?
While looking at dresses…
Hye Jin must be worried.
Why did you do that? Why?
Why did you do that? Why?
Ah, let go!
Hey, Director Cha,
do you feel a bit better after doing that?
Why are you here?
Did you have to do that
in front of your mother?
You're her only son, isn't that too much?
I got it.
Ah, I met Detective Lee.
Why did you meet her?
The guy who tailed you in the parking lot
is Lee Jin Seok, right?
What did you hear?
Did you know that person was released?
What did Detective Lee say?
Ah, she was desperately looking for him
because of Mr. Nam Gi Taek's case.
Wait, stay still for a second.
Knowing that these two were prison mates,
she even came to your mother's hospital.
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
Seeing that the relationship
between them is confirmed,
it's clear that Lee Jin Seok was
involved in Nam Gi Taek's death.
She knew about the relationship
between the two?
Did she say something different to you?
- I'll go first.
- Hey…
Somehow, I feel anxious again.
Huh? Isn't that the guy you saw the other day?
The phone keeps being switched off.
Check the last known location
where it was turned off.
And request work cooperation
for real-time location tracking.
What case is it?
Is it related to the internal
investigation of Mr. Nam Gi Taek?
Do you want to eat chicken together?
You don't like being alone, do you?
I'm going to leave this place.
I'm planning to go to a relative's
house abroad and look for a job.
Being a witness to the incident
feels somewhat unsettling.
I'm sorry.
Hey,
it's not that I'm saying this
to get an apology from you.
If you have somewhere to go,
you should look into it.
Wherever you live,
it's not an impediment
to your drawing or anything.
I am…
a little scared of this place now.

Looking at the investigation material from
that time, Lee Jin Seok's sister is a cop.
I have someone in mind.
The person who did this to you.
What?
Why are you so surprised?
A month before we get married,
she was killed by that man.
A person who has been
sentenced and served his time,
and continues to deny the crime.
What does that mean?
Did you meet Lee Jin Seok?
Are you not going home?
You should sleep at home.
This girl really…
She won't wake up, huh?
Lee Jin Seok!
You seem flustered.
Because it's not the person you were expecting.
What happened?
Why?
Are you afraid
I did something to your brother?
Hey, Dr. Cha Jeong Woo…
How long were you planning to deceive me?
I need to find out
the reason Lee Jin Seok hangs around you
and about the death of Mr. Nam Gi Taek.
As the family of the offender,
I thought apologizing and feeling sorry
was something I could do later.
So, what did you find out?
If you secretly investigate this by yourself,
what will it matter if you find something?
Isn't it over if you just cover it up?
I'm sorry for dragging out the time
without finding any solid evidence,
but don't rashly presume
and distort someone's intentions.
Why Lee Jin Seok appeared before me?
Why does he deny the crime,
even after being in jail?
Was it really to revenge on me…
that he killed Nam Gi Taek?
Find out
where Lee Jin Seok is right now.
You have to find him before I do.
