[Episode 3]

If the man captured on the dashcam

is related to Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death,

why would they deliberately

involve Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?

Well, if it's someone with

a grudge, it's not impossible.

[28 GEO 0052]

Oppa.

What's wrong? Is something wrong?

- Hello? Hye Jin!

- I'm sorry.

I should have told you earlier.

What are you talking about? Why that…

Hye Jin, what's going on… Hello?

Hye Jin! Yoon Hye Jin!

Please help, my girlfriend is alone at home.

Are you okay?

Are you okay, Mr. Cha Jeong Woo?

Mr. Cha Jeong Woo, can you stand up?

Take my hand.

Are you okay?

Take my hand, can you stand up?

Ah yes, I'm Lee Min Hyeong.

Did you get home well?

I'm okay.

But,

what happened?

What's with that car?

And how did you come out from there?

I went to the hospital

and it seemed like that car was chasing you.

So, I looked into it, and

it turned out to be a stolen vehicle.

What about the driver?

Still under investigation.

Whether it's my misunderstanding or

if there's some kind of intent behind it,

I'll contact you again if anything comes up.

Understood.

Yes.

I've confirmed with the car owner, but

there's nothing missing inside the car.

So, what happened?

I thought something happened when

the car was suddenly put on the wanted list.

Yes, Detective.

I'll give you a plate number,

please check the vehicle for me.

"28 Geo 0052"

[28 GEO 0052]

Did it come up?

That car is showing up as a stolen vehicle.

It was reported stolen an hour ago

in Yeoksam-dong.

What?

It's recorded on the stolen

vehicle's black box.

Hat with mask.

Huh? Maybe…

So, did you check the vehicle's details?

Because it looks similar to the guy captured

by the dashcam in front of Nam Gi Taek's house?

Well, we'll have to confirm

if it's the same person.

Come on, surely not…

Check the location where the vehicle

was stolen and secure the CCTV footage.

Yes.

Cut. Good. Okay.

Now, let's smile brightly. Two, three…

Now, smile a little brighter.

Yeah, good, a bit more brightly.

Wow! Good!

Among the finalists,

Hee Young has the prettiest smile.

Hold the skirt and turn around once.

Okay, one more time.

Hee Young, come here.

Good, that's nice.

How do you even deal with that, seriously?

That's really annoying.

Filming in progress for the 3rd hour

of the K-Beauty Model Contest.

Contestant number 19.

Vote for Jung Hee Young! Press down!

That's Jung Hee Young who was fired

from JH Model Agency last year, right?

I wonder why was she fired?

Celebrities and broadcasters

from there are all doing well, though.

It's obvious just by looking.

Her personal life's a bit…

Do you know something?

She's crazy.

Getting nervous for no reason.

[My baby]

Yeah, oppa.

I'm almost done, I finished everything.

Okay, see you later.

What is it?

Why are you acting like this?

Bad woman.

[Hydrochloric acid]

A current hot topic: A contestant

participating in the K-Beauty Model Contest

has been attacked with hydrochloric acid

by a woman in her 40s.

The police have detained a suspect at the scene

and are investigating the exact

motive for the crime.

Why did you do that to the victim?

Why did you go to that park?

I work as a housekeeper, but, suddenly,

the lady of the house told me not to come.

And the weather was nice,

so I went to take a walk in the park.

You kept watching the victim

in the park, didn't you?

You've been watching from there

since 30 minutes before the crime, right?

She's pretty and slim.

But, Detective,

who is this woman?

What?

I really don't remember, so I'm asking.

She's pretty.

Who is it?

What…

The person who k*lled my father.

The k*ller?

They said he might be someone

with a grudge against you.

The detective said so yesterday.

If the man captured on the dashcam

is related to Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death,

why would they deliberately

involve Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?

If it is someone with a grudge,

it's not impossible.

The day my father died,

they say a man came out of our house.

He was all covered with a hat and a mask,

so they are not sure who it was.

We saw that man in the

vehicle's dashcam footage.

Comparing this with the apartment's

entrance door and the height of the car,

both sides are approximately 180 centimeters,

plus or minus 5 centimeters tall.

The general appearance and attire are similar,

but specific characteristics

cannot be compared.

What about their gait

or physical characteristics?

Both videos are too short. Look at this.

The camera is so outdated,

even with the upscaled clarity

improvement, the quality is not good.

Therefore, it's impossible to confirm

if it's the same person in the two videos.

It's impossible to confirm the appearance.

Why are you…

About the stolen vehicle in front of

the convenience store, do you have any leads?

That's still being investigated.

How did you get in here?

Was Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death

a homicide and not a suicide?

Let's go outside and talk.

There's no evidence of homicide, but

there are a few doubts, so the

investigation is yet to be concluded.

The day Mr. Nam Gi Taek died,

is this the person they

say coming out of that house?

It hasn't been confirmed yet

whether it's the same person or not.

In fact, people who have surgery at the clinic

also cover their faces with hats and masks.

It was not someone who came from our clinic.

Then, is there a grudge against someone

or anything like that? Has that ever happened?

No.

Yes.

If it's not suicide, but homicide,

that means someone tried

to harm me intentionally.

Considering what happened last night.

Would you like me to

request personal protection?

No, it's okay.

More importantly, if anything gets confirmed,

please let me know as well.

Yes, of course.

Where did he hear about this?

[Seoul Southern Police Station]

Is there a grudge against someone,

or anything like that?

The suspect of drug use and m*rder

will be transferred to the

prosecution this evening.

Meanwhile, the disclosure of personal

information requested by the police

has been denied by the court,

leading to controversy.

- Please look.

- Please look here!

What was the motive for the m*rder?

Do you have anything to say?

Hey, stop it!

Why did you do it? Why?

Let go!

His face is revealed!

Quickly, take a picture, camera!

Did you get it?

[Professor Yoon]

- Director Cha is inside, right?

- Pardon?

Madam, what brings you here at this hour?

- Who is she?

- Our hospital's VIP.

- Son.

- Yes, Madam.

How could you make me feel so neglected?

What have I done to disappoint

you that much, Madam?

Do I have to find out the news

about Director Cha through an article?

You saw the article.

That's not something

you should worry about at all.

How could you say it's not

something to worry about?

They say Director Cha

is treating crime victims.

It's just a couple of cases for

hospital promotion, and then we'll be out.

Promotion?

This is someone's plan?

[KSH Cosmetic Surgery, Cooperation Agreement

with Seoul Southern Police Station]

Ah, this?

It's part of our mission as doctors

to practice sharing and give back to society,

as a meaningful part of our

social contribution activities.

But why specifically crime victims?

Aren't there more than one or two patients

in need of reconstructive surgery?

Well, if it involves crime,

it could also become a different issue.

Are you planning to profit

off someone else's son?

Director Cha does have

a certain appeal, in this field.

Exactly!

Why misuse your "golden hand"

to make those people write?

"Those people"?

Why would you do this?

Someone who even goes

to volunteer at the prison?

Even experts refer to counseling techniques.

Crime victims are the ones who need more care.

How can you let Jeong Woo take care of them!

Now that I listen to it,

it's just perfect.

What?

No, everything else about Jeong Woo

is fine, but you know that.

The most important thing for Jeong Woo,

specially considering the recent incident,

is that he just needs a little… huh?

Just a bit more empathy, nothing more.

No…

I heard he was released last

month and had depression.

Saying he would perform surgery

on his daughter's facial burn scars.

Just had to get involved

with Jeong Woo of all people.

He was released?

Burn scar surgery?

But, why all of a sudden?

Because he seems like someone I know.

Someone you know?

But, how?

[Medical Chart: Nam Gi Taek]

[Love Sharing Good Hands

Medical Association Volunteer Service]

[Regional Emergency Medical Center]

You had prosthetic surgery on the burnt area?

Yes, it was last year.

Why do you ask?

Fortunately, it's not too deep.

Second-degree dermal burn,

[Chemical Burn]

but it's a chemical burn caused by the acid,

so the internal tissue damage

might be more severe than expected.

You should go to the hospital

where you had the procedure

to get it checked and monitored.

The medical opinion…

What am I supposed to do now?

Thank you.

For now, please move

to the plastic surgery clinic

and I will help you get a doctor.

Why did she do that to me?

Why exactly did she do that to me?

Crazy hag! Darn it!

Do you have absolutely

no relationship with the perpetrator?

I don't know her, she's a stranger.

These days, even men are getting

a lot of smile-line surgery.

It's because the job competition

is intense nowadays.

If the smile-line surgery makes

it look like you're smiling,

they say it's advantageous in interviews.

A desperate struggle to survive by any means.

Director Han, please check the suction,

so we can move on immediately.

- How is it quiet?

- What is?

Crime victim.

Just keep praying.

You need to finish case number 3 quickly,

or you're not going to Bintan.

Stop worrying about others

and just put the fat back in there.

Huh?

It was the right side that was operated on.

How did this one catch onto

this again in the meantime?

One thing's for sure, a keen eye.

Please give me a 20cc syringe.

I'll extend the left side more.

Director Cha, you'll need

to go to the treatment room right now.

This person received a malarplasty from you.

[Malarplasty - Front Cheek Implant Surgery]

She is a victim of an acid attack.

Victim of crime?

Yes, she has received first aid treatment.

The injury is located

where the implant was made.

She is currently waiting in the treatment room.

The injury doesn't seem severe enough to affect

the operated area where the implant is located.

Since there's a possibility

of further infection,

it would be best to remove the implant.

So, will it disappear with treatment?

I have a final audition coming up.

I've endured so fiercely

just to get to that final audition.

Then, hold on a bit longer.

First, stop crying.

Excuse me… This person is a victim of crime.

Contaminants should not contact

the area that needs to remain aseptic,

because the area is susceptible to infection.

Intensive dressing treatment is advisable

in the initial stages of chemical burns.

Make sure to visit the

hospital every day for now.

Excuse me,

can't I just stay at the hospital?

If I go home, I'll be alone

with no one to take care of me.

I'm too scared.

You said she's susceptible to infection.

If she needs surgery, please

just admit her for inpatient treatment.

Since you are a dedicated

doctor for crime victims.

You said she's susceptible to infection.

If she needs surgery, please

just admit her for inpatient treatment.

Since you are a dedicated

doctor for crime victims.

Admission or surgery isn't

something I can decide alone.

Then admit her right away!

New Face! New Dream!

How about this for a press release title?

"Finding a new face for the model

who lost hers to an acid attack".

We will proceed with reconstructive

surgery after the burn treatment.

When the article is published…

Wow! Wouldn't this lead to

quite a few broadcast invitations?

But will the victim agree to an interview?

Not the victim, me.

Of course.

Anyway, provide full support

as the victim wishes.

How about revealing the before and after

once the reconstructive surgery is done?

I hear she's quite a hot model these

days because of the broadcast.

Manager Yang, no issues with the schedule?

Yes, no problem.

You two take care of the promotion.

This is the last time we'll support a victim.

Hey, why are you being so calculating again…

It was agreed, wasn't it?

To just support three people.

Well, that's true.

- Please set the surgery schedule.

- Yes.

Is it already ending like this?

[Seoul Southern Police Station]

Have you talked to the homeowner

where Shin Jeong Sook

worked as a housekeeper?

What did they say?

They said they had an important

guest coming to the house,

so they told her not to come to work.

But it's a bit…

A bit what? Why?

Shin Jeong Sook isn't the

type to do such thing.

She kept earnestly asking

to look into it properly, you know?

What about the CCTV?

Bus, park, in front of the restroom.

Nothing special was found.

On the way to her housekeeping

job, she got off the bus

because the homeowner told her not to come.

While walking in the park,

she just watched the models,

and acted impulsively?

In other words, it was an unprovoked attack.

Even from a forensic perspective, there's

zero evidence that the victim was targeted…

The victim's movements were

exposed, it was a public post.

So anyone could have known

the victim's location and schedule.

- What about Shin Jeong Sook's husband?

- It's a bit strange.

What else is strange?

Instead, Shin Jeong Sook is asking us

to find her husband.

She says she can't reach him.

Have you made contact? With my husband?

If you find him, please bring him to me.

I ended up like this because of that person.

I told you not to follow me,

it's truly embarrassing.

I'm putting up with someone…

Thinking they're fools, morons.

See you later.

Bad woman.

She started it first.

She started it first!

There is no severe damage

to the internal organs.

There's no deformation of the implant either.

First, we'll suture and

then start the burn treatment.

The possible winner of the model audition

show was attacked with acid because…

[K-Infidelity Model]

of the revenge by a jealous legitimate

wife over an extramarital affair.

Really, who is more extreme in this melodrama?

Let's vote for it in a moment.

[To Ms. Jung Hee Young]

It's not true at all.

I've never had an affair.

That's why

I'm just asking.

I'm just making sure

there are no false accusations.

You seem to take a lot of photos usually.

Could you please show me all the photos

you took in the park yesterday?

Not the ones posted on social media.

Why my photos?

Just a moment.

- Speak.

- We've reached Shin Jeong Sook's husband.

But he's asking us to go see him.

I was out on a photo sh**t for a few days.

I knew something like this

would happen someday.

According to Mrs. Shin Jeong Sook,

this person was your love affair…

This woman was in an affair with me?

Wow! It would be nice

to even meet a woman like this.

Please be careful with your words.

- Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

- Are you sure?

I mean, it's awkward for me to say this but,

the women I meet…

Could it be that the victim was mistaken

for the husband's mistress?

My wife knows Seong Hee's face too.

She's seen her a couple of times

while following her secretly.

Maybe she did it out of spite

due to depression?

Depression? There were no psychiatric records.

She has been on medication for quite a while.

Why is it like this?

In my heyday, I even went

to the Miss Korea local preliminaries.

I became like this because of someone.

If there's no record, she might

have gone under a friend's name.

She may not have used her name, as psychiatric

records can be disadvantageous in a divorce.

She wouldn't have used her own name.

They say it's revenge by a jealous

legitimate wife over an extramarital affair.

Really, who is more extreme in this melodrama?

Let's vote for it in a moment.

Oppa.

The face of a model…

I saw the article.

Is it true?

Oppa.

Who is that person?

Oppa, don't you trust me?

No, I can't trust you.

It's either filming or a business trip,

not answering calls half of the month.

You say you are going for a local sh**t,

and end up getting photographed in a club

or a man answers the calls

in the middle of the night.

I said the staff was just playing around.

How would I know if it's a staff

member or someone else?

Get lost!

- What?

- I said get lost.

Why?

You can't leave because you feel wronged?

Because you got stabbed in the back, you can't

leave because you're upset and angry, you punk!

- Hey, Jung Hee Young!

- Get out of here right now!

Patient, please calm down.

We need to reconnect the line.

I'll bring the IV line.

We're going to dress the wound.

Will you stay here?

What are you doing?

If there's necrosis in the wound…

Then what?

It's all the same anyway.

I can't get my face back to what it was.

Go ahead with the dressing.

What's the use of that, anyway.

Losing dreams,

losing a lover,

and now being called an adulteress.

Everyone curses me, saying I deserved it.

What's the point of dressing the wound?

First, get the treatment you can--

I don't need it. I don't need any of this crap!

Then, nothing will ever change.

Have you forgotten? As a victim,

she might be mentally unstable.

Considering the victim's emotional state,

could you please speak more kindly--

Have you forgotten?

This is a cosmetic surgery clinic.

If you want to provide emotional

care for the patient,

then transfer them to another hospital.

When he deeply considers the victim's

feelings, why is he acting like this again?

Right, I thought it was too good to be true.

I've been feeling uneasy ever since they said

we'd have a dedicated doctor for victims.

Why?

Because he didn't want to pour his emotions

into patients who were dying or living.

That's why he switched to plastic surgery.

But I fully anticipated

this kind of discord today.

What? Is that for real?

So, you're saying you took on the

defense of the acid attack perpetrator?

How did it happen?

Well, it's just something

the company asked me to do.

Wow! It's a very small world, indeed.

So? What happens with this?

- Is this a noncustodial case?

- Enough.

What about Jeong Woo? Is he okay

after the victim's reconstructive surgery?

Could he possibly be okay?

This was supposed to be the last one,

but it all blew up at the end.

He's probably busy operating right now.

Please help, my girlfriend is alone at home.

Oppa,

I'm sorry.

I should have told you earlier.

Depression, delusional disorder.

First-time offender with diminished capacity.

And an unhappy family history, too.

Besides, the lawyer's not a public defender, but

from the specialized criminal firm Good-n-Good.

You can tell at a glance it's

a noncustodial case, can't you?

The change in attitude is quite dramatic.

From a random victim to a wounded wife.

I have a feeling she's leading us

in the direction she wants us to go.

Could she have been coached by a lawyer?

The husband story came up

at exactly the right timing.

And without even asking.

Actively revealing the motive

for the crime means

that the real, undisclosed motive

is being hidden?

Then what could the real hidden motive be?

What could it be, to go to such lengths…

Last year, there was a case with a

woman in her twenties as the victim

of an acid attack.

Yes.

Because of a complaint, a resident

threw acid at a district office worker.

Is it that the case?

Look up a photo of the victim of that case.

Why bring up that case all of a sudden?

We need to find

the real motive, don't we?

The pre-trial detention warrant for the

suspect in the acid attack on a model

[Pre-trial Detention Warrant Rejected]

has been rejected.

After interrogation, the judge decided that,

since the suspect has a fixed residence,

it is difficult to see a risk of flight,

and therefore rejected the detention warrant.

Miss Shin Jeong Sook, please come out.

Let's go.

You're not being detained, are you?

It's not over yet.

There's still the prosecutor's

investigation, indictment, and trial.

I'm sorry.

That's something you should say to the victim,

after ruining her model's face like this.

What are you going to do with this?

Is this woman the victim?

Please refrain from any speech

or behavior that might provoke our client.

- Do not respond.

- Yes.

Yes, team leader. The victim?

She is still at KSH Cosmetic Surgery.

Yes, I will check it out.

- Please get in.

- No, I'm fine.

I have some places to go.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

Anyway, do not do anything

until the trial, and stay quiet.

Especially near the victim,

you can't approach her at all.

- Yes. Bye.

- Go ahead.

Yes, she arrived home now.

Stay put, she is going to move.

Yes, understood.

- Director, I'm going home.

- You've worked hard.

[Jung Hee Young]

What is it?

Didn't you hear we got investigative

cooperation from the hospital?

We are currently tracking the suspect.

The suspect…

After the pre-trial

arrest warrant was rejected,

I checked in advance that the suspect

was coming towards the hospital.

Jung Hee Young is safe, so do not worry.

But still, to put the victim in the same space…

You're worried about Jung Hee Young, right?

Yes, I am quite concerned.

Thanks to the obstinate detective.

I am not that obstinate.

I've been watching everything.

You see the g*n over there?

Do not make a mess at the hospital.

Please leave in a bit.

For now, anticipate Hyunnam-dong and follow.

Hyunnam-dong?

- Keep an eye on the front.

- Got it!

The investigation will be over soon

and will be resolved well,

so do not worry.

Are you doing well?

How is it?

[Model Jung Hee Young's Waiting Room]

Is it comfortable there?

[Shin Jeong Sook]

Is she really entering Hyunnam-dong?

Could it be this case…

Where did Jung Hee Young go?

What?

Huh?

[Face Me]

Dr. Cha Jeong Woo?

Jeong Woo, was there another

problem at the hospital?

The thing you did,

you're going to receive a proper punishment.

The madam is as beautiful as Jung Hee Young.

Is there anyone who got caught?

I don't know.

But it feels somehow familiar.

Lee Min Hyeong,

it's been a long time.

If the two persons are the same individual,

and if it's someone who

holds a grudge against you,

they might appear around you again.

Who are you?

Director Cha is a victim of crime, too.
