DOCTOR LAWYER

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

What happened?

Well… There was an accident.

Who's the inmate that attacked him?

The name is Nam Hyukchul.

He was sentenced to death
and got imprisoned six years ago.

SO JI-SUB

We'll represent
all victims of malpractice

from Banseok University Medical Center
pro bono.

I promise we will fight for them
until the end.

-...on the details of the case.
-Han Yihan.

A lawyer who specializes
in medical malpractice.

SHIN SUNG-ROK

Are you really that man I always knew?

The prosecutor who pressed me
and had me framed five years ago is

the current head of the Medical
Crime Department, Baek Kangho.

IM SOO-HYANG

Are you asking me
to trust my life with that robot,

which is still in its trial phase?

I'll make sure that my son
is the one who performs

your heart surgery.

LEE KYUNG-YOUNG

I wasn't fully anesthetized.

I lost consciousness for a short while

and woke up again soon afterward. But…

I couldn't move my body.

LEE JOO-BIN

-What's that?
-Freedom.

LEE DONG-HA

I knew you'd come.

Doctor Lawyer,

Han Yihan!

You needed a doctor, not a lawyer.

A doctor who would never speak
of what happened to anyone.

Sh***.

Mr. Han. Hurry.

I'm fine,
so please take care of her first.

She hit her head on the table as she fell…

Which drug was it?

Dope and cocaine.

I was going to enjoy it just a little,

but it was different from my usual one,
I couldn't control it.

What's the patient's name?

Yuna. Lim Yuna.

I'll leave the rest in your hands.

Ms. Lim Yuna, if you can hear me,
please squeeze my hand.

You can feel my hand.

This time, can you squeeze it
a little harder so that I can feel it?

Can you do it?

Great. Good job.

Then now, can you look at me?

Look at me. Look me in the eye.

Good. Don't worry and rest now.
Everything will be fine.

Is she all right?

I need a few things.
Please get them for me right away.

EPISODE 5

My beautiful,
your hands are full of blisters.

I told you not to give massages yourself.
Ask your subordinates!

But the VIPs only ask for me.
What can I do?

-Jeez.
-So when will you open my own shop for me?

Gosh, wait just a few more months.
Okay, my beautiful?

Once the new drug is approved,

I'll become a rich man too
with tens of billions of won in stocks.

-One second.
-Who is it? Your wife?

I said, don't pick it up
when you're with me.

Hush.

It's a VVIP.

This is Assistant Director Lee Dohyung.

Hemodialysis machines?

Hurry up!

Right here.

Okay.

Why do you suddenly need
hemodialysis machines?

Thank you.

You may go now.

Don't you need a nurse?
Do you know how to use it?

I'll be fine.

And you can never ever tell anyone
about this.

Got it?

It sounds more suspicious
now that he tells me not to tell anyone.

Cho Junghyun,
the head of the nursing department.

She's a veteran who has worked
only at Banseok for almost 30 years.

She must be a remarkable nurse for sure

given that she's worked together with
Director Gu Jingi for almost 20 years.

What about Nam Hyukchul's
visitation records?

There is none.

He's an only child
and his parents passed away already.

No one has visited him
for the past few years.

That's very convenient.

Pardon? What's convenient?

He's got nothing to lose.

He has the perfect profile
to be hired as a contract k*ller.

Contract k*ller?

Who would've done such a thing?

Hello. Geum Seokyeong speaking.

Is this Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong
of Medical Crime Department

at Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office?

Yes, this is she. How may I help you?

I'd like to report something.

Someone is doing drugs at Banseok.

NO CALLER ID

Did you say "drugs"?

Please go to the penthouse of Banseokwon.

You will find a young man
and a woman wasted on drugs.

Please hurry.
Someone's life depends on it.

Hello?

What? Drugs?

It happens to be Banseok again.

Do you think it's really happening?

What nonsense. It's clearly a prank call.

-I need to go check.
-But, Prosecutor Geum,

why would you go there at this late hour?

What if it's a false report?

So what if it’s false or a prank?

I was about to force myself
in there anyway.

It's a perfect excuse.

Gosh, seriously. This is ridiculous.

-He asked for hemodialysis machines?
-Yes.

He asked for syringes, IV fluids,

naloxone, and even dopamine
to be sent to the penthouse.

But naloxone is an antagonist.

You use it to counter opioid poisoning.

I know. I'm not the only one
who thinks this is odd, right?

I brought them to him since he's our VVIP,

but I thought I should tell you.

One second.

What? What's going on?

What? For what?

What's the matter?

Stay on the line and wait.

The Central District Prosecutors Office's
prosecutor is at the main entrance.

Prosecutor? For what?

She received a tip that
someone is doing drugs in the penthouse.

Drugs?

That's why that punk…

What are you doing?

I'll get rid of the drug substance
by doing the hemodialysis.

It'll take some time
since it's not the central vein.

But it'll certainly be effective.

That's very creative, Mr. Han.

Oh, come on!

Can we go in just briefly?

We're only going to check inside briefly.

Please bring a warrant.

You're abusing your governmental power.

Gosh, please don't exaggerate, okay?

Let's abuse it then.

Mr. Park, let's push our way in.

Prosecutor Geum, but that's a bit--

The source said,
someone's life depends on it.

We're civil servants.

If someone is in danger,
shouldn't we save that person?

I'll take full responsibility
for any disciplinary action.

If that's what you really want to do,
we have no choice.

We'll push our way in.

Hey, make way.

-What are you…
-Let us in.

-Step aside.
-Gosh.

-This is…
-Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong.

-Sir, how did you--
-It's fine. I'm briefed already.

Nice to meet you.
So you received a tip about drugs?

Yes. And you are?

I'm Gu Hyunseong,
the director of Banseokwon.

Please come with me
to the penthouse exclusive entrance

so that we don't inconvenience
other patients.

Hello?

What?

Mr. Han! We're in trouble.

You have to wake them up immediately.

-What's going on?
-I got a call from security.

A prosecutor came after receiving a tip.

Please wake them up
as quickly as possible.

I'll go out there
and try to buy some time.

This is strange.

I thought you'd stop me for sure.

I watched the last trial.

You already despise Banseok so much.

I don't want you to hate it even more.

Who is staying at the penthouse?

The source said that I'd find
a young man and woman together.

Jayden Lee.

He is a Korean American investor.

I'm not sure who the woman might be.

We're from the prosecutors' office.
Please open the door.

We're from the prosecutors' office.
Open it.

We're from the prosecutors' office.
Open the door now!

-Please open the door.
-I can't open it either.

Only the guest of this room has the key.

No, there is another one.

Go get the master key
from the security office.

What master key?

Sir, the master key
should be used only in an emergency--

This is an emergency!

-Go get it right away.
-Yes, sir.

Is the mediastinal tumor resection
the only one that went to trial?

Yes, sir. We will surely win the trial,

but Director Gu Hyunseong was
in charge of the surgery.

The timing is bad.
Handle it as quietly as possible.

Yes, sir. But please watch this.

I am suffering due to medical malpractice
at Banseok University Medical Center.

My voice became this way,

but the hospital claims
that they have no responsibility.

I definitely gained consciousness
during the surgery.

The anesthesia wore off

and I felt the knife cut through my body.
There was--

Because she was training
to be an idol singer,

she has a lot of followers.

The reporters are keeping quiet so far,

but once we go to trial…

Offer one billion won.

A billion won?

That would set a bad precedent.

There is a saying,

"You could lose a hand
for trying to save a finger."

Make her go quiet
with a large sum of money.

In return, make sure

Hyunseong's name doesn't come up.

Yes, sir.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR LEE DOHYUNG

-What is it?
-Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong

is at Banseokwon.

She received a report
about drugs at the penthouse.

Drugs?

I am not sure about the veracity.

The security team
went to get the master key.

No. Don't let them pass through.

I want to do that,

but Director Gu Hyunseong is adamant.

Put him on the phone right now!

It's about time they wake up.

It's the master key.

It's the chairman. Answer it.

Father?

I am sorry. I called him.

-He is furious. Hurry up.
-Hey!

For goodness' sake.

Director Gu.

If you hand over the master key,
you won't be able to undo your mistake.

We will never overlook the fact
that you betrayed your partner.

Never.

CHAIRMAN GU JINGI

CHAIRMAN GU JINGI

Director Gu.

I am the one who makes decisions here,

not my father.

What?

What? What are you doing here?

What's the matter?

Who are you guys?

I am Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong

of Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office.

I received a report on drugs.

Drugs?

Never.

I was receiving a legal consultation.

And you took a shower
during a legal consultation?

What's wrong with it?
Is that ill*gal here?

I got refreshed
because I had a lot on my mind.

By the way,

how did you get in?

I told Michael not to let anyone in.

I got them in here.

I didn't want there to be
any useless suspicions.

Director Gu Hyunseong, I didn't know
you trusted me so much.

If I had actually been doing drugs,

both of us would have gotten in trouble.

May we look inside?

Go ahead.

All right.

How is this room so big?

I wondered why you needed
hemodialysis machines so late at night.

A rat had gotten in.

A quack without a medical license is here
for a house call.

Isn't this
a serious breach of medical law?

Like I said, I was

receiving a legal consultation.

With hemodialysis machines,
dopamine, and naloxone?

You covered it up somehow,

but don't think you can fool me,
the director of this place.

This is already the third breach
of medical law.

I overlooked what you did to Park Kitae
since it was an emergency.

I'll make sure

you end up in prison this time.

NALOXONE

This is…

This is an injection

that is used in hospitals.

Answer me. Are you the one…

who used it?

Did you find anything?

Well, we are still looking.

If we don't find anything,

Prosecutor Geum will have
a major headache.

Did you receive permission?

Permission?

Chairman Gu Jingi isn't the type
to allow such rash behaviors.

Your father.

I wondered if you received permission.

If you stop now, I'll let this slide.

I will explain the situation well
to Chairman Gu Jingi.

That's right.

I used it.

I can't explain right now,

but I had no choice.

I am begging you.
Take Gu Hyunseong and leave.

Pardon?

What are you saying?

Why would I do that?

Right. You don't explain things.

Not even now. Not even then.

Seokju didn't die…

because of the surgery.

He was m*rder*d.

Director Gu Jingi,

Head of Anesthesiology Lee Dohyung,

and Perfusionist Cho Junghyun.
The three of them

took out Seokju's heart

while he was recovering at Banseokwon.

You got on my nerves from the start.

You look down on people
in an arrogant manner.

You must have brought up my father
because you are scared.

Too bad for you.
I won't waste this chance.

It's the perfect chance to bring you

and Han Yihan down together.

Wait.

Don't give me that nonsense.

Do you expect me to believe that now?

I know it's a ploy
to get out of this situation.

You had better not talk about
my brother again.

I won't forgive you then.

Right.

Don't.

You can resent me
for the rest of your life.

But if I get arrested
for violating medical law,

all the plans I prepared
for the last five years will go to waste.

You prepared what?

Plans? What are you talking about?

Once I walk out of here,
I'll tell you everything.

Those punks are responsible
for k*lling my mom and Seokju.

After I make them pay for what they did,

I'll face my punishment then.

Please trust me.

That…

-Why do you have this?
-Why do you think?

If you're curious, open it and see.

-You punk--
-I wonder if you have the guts to do that.

Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong
and Mr. Han Yihan

who have it out for Banseok are both here.

If everyone finds out
that your fiancée is sleeping in there,

will you be able

to handle the consequence?

So tell me. Did you find any drugs?

No. I didn't find anything.

I apologize for the inconvenience
at this hour.

That's all right.

I guess this is one way
to get to know how things are done here.

Thanks to you, I found out
how scary prosecutors in Korea can be.

Thank you for your understanding.

All right. Can I ask you all to leave now?

My meeting with my lawyer isn't over yet.

Sure.

Director Gu Hyunseong.

Could you escort us to the entrance?

Director Gu Hyunseong.

We'll meet again.

With your father.

Darn it.

You have no idea

how badly I tried to understand you.

How desperately I tried not to resent you
and tried to trust you.

Don't fool yourself I have forgiven you.

If there is an ounce of deception
in what you just told me,

I won't stop here.

Prosecutor Geum.

-Shouldn't we get going?
-Right. Let's go.

Thank you.

They would have caught me
if you hadn't come.

Well, it looks like
I'm the one who got played.

You reported to the prosecutor
about the drugs, didn't you?

I don't follow you.

You set up everything

that happened here today.

You were having a secret affair
while doing drugs

with Gu Hyunseong's fiancée
in Banseokwon's penthouse of all places.

Freedom.

The moment I was about
to inject naloxone again,

you stopped me,
pretending to have regained consciousness.

And the prosecutor who got the tip…

Is this Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong
of Medical Crime Department

at Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office?

I'd like to report something.

Someone is doing drugs at Banseok.

She has a bad history with Banseok.

Please hurry.
Someone's life depends on it.

What?

What are you doing here?

What's the matter?

Who are you guys?

By the way, how did you get in?

I got them in here.

I didn't want there to be
any useless suspicions.

Director Gu Hyunseong, I didn't know
you trusted me so much.

If I had actually been doing drugs,

both of us would have gotten in trouble.

And lastly,

you called me here.

You probably thought I would cooperate
as I had lawsuits against Banseok.

You created a crisis

and controlled it to have an upper hand.

You came up with all of this.

Excellent.

But even if you are right,
you can't disclose that.

You're my lawyer.

You are subject

to confidentiality obligations.

I apologize if I offended you.

I needed to check your talent for myself.

"Check"?

Mr. Han.

I want you

to work for me.

Darn it!

Die!

That punk, Jayden. He played me.

I'll k*ll him.

I'm going to k*ll you with my two hands.

The person you reached is not available.

-Father. I can explain.
-You fool!

How could you think about handing over
our partner to the prosecutor?

I did it to have an upper hand.

He's arrogant.
I needed to teach him a lesson.

Then you should've succeeded!

He has the upper hand now.

Han Yihan was with Jayden Lee
in the penthouse!

What? What was he doing there?

He was there for legal counseling.
But isn't it obvious?

I'm sure something fishy was going on.

No. I must go back upstairs now.

No. You will pretend this never happened.

-But--
-Whatever they did,

it happened in Banseokwon.

And it's Prosecutor Geum Seokyeong.

We would have a bigger problem
if anyone gets indicted.

Han Yihan already filed lawsuits
against us. Making a scene won't help.

Why would we be scared
of mere civil lawsuits?

Right. Those are mere civil lawsuits.

But do you think he will end there?

Han Yihan is…

coming after you.

So you need to keep a low profile for now.

Don't provoke Jayden either.

Got it?

All right.

I want you as my lawyer.

I need a lawyer
who will advise me regarding Korean law

during my time here.

Having you as my lawyer who knows a lot
about Banseok

and Chairman Gu Jingi

will be the best option.

Why should I help you?
After all, you lied to me

and put me in danger.

Because you will get
what you want the most…

as a reward for helping me.

Restoring your medical license.

Chairman Gu Jingi is stopping it. Right?

I can help you with that.

Under the condition of letting this slide,

he won't say no to that.

What do you think?

This should be enough reward
for the risk you took today. Right?

-I have conditions.
-Go ahead.

If you take ill*gal drugs again
during your time in Korea,

our contract
will be nullified immediately.

I'm a doctor before a lawyer.
So I can't condone that.

Fine. I'll keep that in mind.

And unless you want to pass out again,

don't drink alcohol today.

And I'm advising you as a doctor.

I thought I hired a lawyer.

But I have my personal doctor now too.

Keep up the good work.

Doctor Lawyer.

Seokju didn't die

because of the surgery. He was m*rder*d.

Director Gu Jingi,
Head of Anesthesiology Lee Dohyung,

and Perfusionist Cho Junghyun.
The three of them

took out Seokju's heart

while he was recovering at the hospital.

Why…

Why now?

Look at this building.

You want to settle?

Let's not be so cold.
This is only a civil suit.

Please think of it
as our olive branch, ma'am.

Olive branch?

When we went to you,
you said it wasn't malpractice.

So tell me. What do you plan to do now?

We will give you one billion won.

What?

What do you think about our offer?

Now that you see the cash in person,

it's different
from just hearing the number. Right?

Are you going to give us
all of that money?

I'm sure there are conditions.

-Let's hear them first before we proceed.
-Right.

And the victim,
Soyeon's opinion is important too.

Right. I'll do that.

What are the conditions?

We only have standard conditions.

We will settle
without taking this to court.

You will not bring up any issues
about this in the future.

And it states we're offering it
as consolation, not compensation.

Consolation?

And this condition is
the most important one.

Delete this video right away.

And you must upload a video,
clarifying that everything was a lie.

I definitely gained consciousness
during the surgery.

But they dismissed me like I'm crazy.

The anesthesia wore off

and I felt the knife cut through my body.

There was a problem during the surgery.

SUBPOENA TO APPEAR IN COURT TO TESTIFY

Did she really wake up during the surgery?

That's ridiculous.

I didn't do anything wrong.
Why would I say that I did?

Banseok University Medical Center

doesn't acknowledge
that you woke up during the surgery.

We don't acknowledge malpractice.

We are only offering this money
based on our ethical standards.

So we need you to explain what you did
that is in line with our acknowledgment.

No.

They want me to say I lied.

It was…

really scary and awful.

And you won't even acknowledge
your mistake.

How is this consoling me?

You just want to pay me to keep me quiet!

Right. I can understand where
you're coming from. You're still young.

Ma'am, you ought to look out
for her future at times like this.

She can't make a debut now.

You know that this kind of money
will be very helpful

to you and her future.

Mom, don't take it.

Don't take it!

Soyeon.

You're acting like an immature kid.
Don't you feel bad for your mom?

She worked hard
to support your dream all by herself.

Don't you think she deserves a break?

You can't throw us money
to keep my daughter quiet.

What?

Don't make her feel guilty,

so you can silence her.

You people… No.

No one gets to say that to my daughter.

I apologize if I offended you. But--

We won't take your money.

Please reconsider.

You'll be ruining your daughter's life.

No. This money will ruin her life
if I take it.

So get that out of our sight right now.

That dirty money.

Go ahead.

Put it back in.

I truly hope
you won't regret your decision.

-Mom!
-Are you all right?

She turned down one billion won?

-Go ahead.
-I emailed you the investigation report

on Gil Soyeon.

Okay. I'll check it.

Come on. Seriously?

We would have wasted one billion won.

I'm ready.

You should've taken it when you could.

I hate to make your life miserable.

Drive already.

Thank you for treating me too.

It's okay. You made a hard decision.

Even if we win the trial,

you won't be able to get half…

No, not even a quarter of the money
you were just offered.

But if we can prove that
your anesthesia wore off during surgery,

we will use that as evidence
to start a criminal case.

They offered you so much money
to prevent that from happening.

Mom, I don't regret it.

And thank you so much
for not accepting that money.

Leave the rest to me.

That's why I'm here.

BANSEOK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

I need you to testify as witnesses.

-Will that be okay?
-Of course.

Honestly, what do we have to be afraid of?

All we did
was do our best during the surgery.

All right.

As for you, Dr. Choi, you will be
at a conference outside of Seoul

as of today until the trial ends.

What?

But I received a subpoena
from the court to testify.

Don't worry about that.

The legal team will send in
a non-attendance statement.

So whether you get a call from the court
or from Han Yihan,

don't answer it no matter who calls.

Understood?

That's nice and clean.

Don't worry. We'll come up with a story.

Please do so.

You know what to do.

Right.

I can't do that.
If we admit it now and apologize,

the patient will understand too.

So you should join me as a witness…

Darn it, Choi Yosub! Come to your senses!

If you lose your license
and get kicked out as a third-year fellow,

are you going to open a law firm too?

Why would I?
I'm not doing this because I want to.

Who would understand that?

Do you think this is the first time?

If we make one mistake,
we could end up like Park Kitae…

"Like Park Kitae"? What do you mean…

Hey. Forget it. Listen to me carefully.

At Banseok University Medical Center
Cardiothoracic Surgery Department,

you come after Gu Hyunseong.

He will become
the director of the hospital,

so you need to get rewarded as well.

The next Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Okay? Got it?

What did he mean by "like Kitae"?

YIHAN

It's Yihan.

CASE NO. 2022-GAHAP-4-362
GIL SOYEON CIVIL LITIGATION TRIAL

Defense counsel.

Plaintiff's counsel.

Defense counsel.

Gu Hyunseong and Choi Yosub,
the witnesses the plaintiff requested,

have submitted a non-attendance statement.

Yes. They were scheduled to attend
a conference outside of Seoul,

so they couldn't make it today.

Are the other witnesses here?

-Yes.
-Yes.

All right then.
We'll get started right away.

Are you serious? How could you go to
Banseokwon without discussing it with me?

The Banseok Legal Team

filed suit against you
for obstruction of business and as*ault.

They even filed it at our office!

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

But Director Gu Hyunseong was the one
who showed me--

If you're sorry,

don't get involved with Banseok for now.

I'll assign Nam Hyukchul's case
to someone else.

That's not fair.

He k*lled my suspect.

I know!

If you wanted to investigate,
you shouldn't have been reckless.

Seokyeong,

stop worrying me. Okay?

Just lie low

until the case gets dismissed.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

I have a trial against Banseok
at Seoul Central District Court.

Come watch the case.

After it's over, I'll keep my promise
and tell you everything.

Awareness under anesthesia.

It's when the anesthesia wears off
during surgery and a patient wakes up,

but they cannot move their bodies.

If the anesthesia has worn off,
why can't they move their body?

I'll explain with the slides.

AWARENESS UNDER ANESTHESIA

Many people think…

that the given anesthetic shot
will put you under general anesthesia.

But the shot given before the surgery

is a type of sleep agent
given to prepare for the anesthesia.

It only lasts for a few minutes.

For general anesthesia, you must block
three conditions for the patient.

For this,
the necessary drugs are injected.

First, in order to block
the patient's consciousness,

they make the patient sleep
using an anesthetic agent.

Then they inject a muscle relaxant

to block
the patient's movements and reflexes,

and prevent the patient from moving.

Just like how we move unconsciously
while we're asleep,

it is done to prevent the patient from
moving while under general anesthesia.

Lastly, through intubation,

the patient is given oxygen
mixed with anesthetic gas.

This blocks out pain
and stops brain functions.

That is when the patient is fully under
anesthesia and ready for surgery.

In other words, even if a patient
wakes up during surgery,

they cannot move
because of the muscle relaxants.

Even if they can feel the scalpel
cutting through their skin and muscles,

they can't express the pain they feel.

That's awareness under anesthesia.

That's an interesting idea.

Your Honor. The counsel for the plaintiff

is a criminal of medical malpractice
who lost his license

five years ago.

Since his claims lack credibility,

would you give me permission
to ask Dr. Lee Dohyung,

an anesthesiologist
about awareness under anesthesia?

That would be good.

Witness, please prepare to testify.

Awareness under anesthesia
has never been considered

medical malpractice in Korea.

In other words, it's a hypothesis
that has yet to be proven.

I've worked as an anesthesiologist
for 20 years

and have never seen it myself.

No, Your Honor.
Korea acknowledges the phenomenon.

According to a survey done in the US,
one out of 1,000 patients

experienced awareness under anesthesia.

There were cases where it was acknowledged
as malpractice through a lawsuit.

You shouldn't compare us to the US.

They file lawsuits left and right there.
I even heard someone sued God.

Furthermore, even if
awareness under anesthesia existed,

that's no proof that the plaintiff's
anesthesia wore off during her surgery.

That's correct.

Your Honor. In order to prove
that there was awareness under anesthesia,

I would like the victim, Ms. Gil,
to tell you what happened that day.

Plaintiff, while receiving
a mediastinal tumor resection at Banseok,

did you experience
awareness under anesthesia?

WITNESS

Yes.

Could you tell us what happened?

I couldn't move my body,

but I was awake and could feel everything.

I felt everything.

I felt them cut me from here to here.

I remember everything clearly.

Even though I want to forget it,
I can't get it out of my mind.

Every couple of days,
I have a nightmare about getting surgery.

I dream of dark shadows hovering over me

and cutting and ripping apart my body.

You had awareness under anesthesia,

and because of that, you're suffering from
severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

Did you tell that to the hospital?

Yes. I did.

How did they react?

At first, they didn't listen to me.

When I filed the lawsuit,
they tried to pay me off to stay silent.

They offered me one billion won.

-One billion won?
-One billion won?

One billion won is a lot of money.

Why didn't you take it?

They wanted me to drop the lawsuit
in return for the money,

and they wanted me to admit
that I spread false information.

They wanted me to say that I was lying.

That's why I didn't accept it.

Because I didn't lie about anything.

I'm sure it's hard to recollect this.

Thank you for answering my questions.

That's all.

Plaintiff, can you continue?

Yes. I can.

Counsel for the defense.
Please ask your questions.

Okay.

WITNESS

First, I would like to apologize on behalf
of Banseok University Medical Center

for the incident
you had to go through, Ms. Gil.

Seven years ago, at the age of 19,

you were accepted as a trainee
to become an idol singer,

and you've been trained there
until recently. Right?

Yes.

I assume that for nearly half your life,

you had to endure
a long and difficult time.

Both physically and mentally.
Am I correct?

Yes, but why do you ask?

For many years,
you were treated as a patient

with a severe delusional disorder. Right?

Objection. She's insulting the plaintiff.
Please stop her.

If it were any other disorders,
I wouldn't have mentioned it.

But a delusional disorder
is an important factor

in determining her credibility.

That is why I had no choice
but to mention it in this trial.

I understand.

Please continue.

Thank you.

Today?

I went to the practice room after school
and worked on choreography.

I had vocal training today,

but I wasn't feeling well, so I came home.

I haven't been feeling well these days.

When am I debuting?

I'd like to know too.

Can you ask my CEO for me…

What is that?

Oh, my gosh! I'm scared!

Oh, my gosh! Who are you?
Don't come close!

Mom, are you outside? Help me!

HOW NOISY. DID SHE SEE A GHOST?

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

YOU LOOK UNSTABLE

She's crazy.

I'm sorry.

I keep seeing weird things these days.

I hear things too.

I'm sorry. I'm going to go now.

THE LIVE BROADCAST IS OVER

The video you just watched

was a live broadcast
filmed by Ms. Gil last May.

During her hour-long live broadcast,

Ms. Gil portrayed symptoms
of a delusional disorder

including hallucinations three times.

Ms. Gil. Let me ask you again.

Have you been treated
for a delusional disorder?

Yes, but I've been fully cured.

After I was set to debut,

I've never seen or heard anything!

Then what about now,
when your debut has faced a setback?

Could your delusions recur?

Your Honor. This is a leading question.

No. This is reasonable speculation
based on fact.

Let's hear her out. Please continue.

Thank you.

According to a consultation
with a psychiatrist,

curing delusional disorders
is very difficult,

and it can relapse whenever
the patient is under severe stress.

The delusional disorder developed from
being exhausted by her days as a trainee

and relapsed due to the stress of
the surgery she received before her debut.

PLAINTIFF

Isn't this reasonable speculation?

DEFENDANT

Of course, I'm not denying

that Ms. Gil had an unfortunate incident.

What Ms. Gil needs right now
isn't a trial.

It's psychiatric treatment.

Banseok University Medical Center
promises to provide Ms. Gil

with the best medical personnel

to receive psychiatric help.

"Director! A VIP is coming in!"

Plaintiff, what did you just say?

I'm not delusional. I heard them.

They said a VIP was there,
so he had to leave right away!

Director! A VIP is coming in!

A VIP? Who is it?

That's…

-Tell them I'll be right there.
-Yes.

Darn it.

What about the surgery?

I'm sure someone else is available.

Anyone can do this kind of surgery.

Don't worry about it and go.
We'll take care of it.

This is all a delusion.

As you saw before, there is no credibility
to her statement.

There are cases when nightmares while
under anesthesia are mistaken for a real…

No!

I saw and heard everything!

-Plaintiff.
-The surgeon in charge wasn't there,

and a different surgeon did my surgery!

Plaintiff. Calm down.

If you cause any more disturbance,
you will be removed.

PLAINTIFF

Then it must've been a ghost.

A ghost? What kind of nonsense?

The victim saw it,

but no other surgeon did the surgery?

Then the only answer
is that it was a ghost.

An operation room ghost
that doctors at Banseok

can't see.

This is false information.

-Please stop speaking.
-Sustained.

Counsel for the plaintiff.
Please stop and take a seat.

I will prove to everyone here

that the operation room ghost does exist.

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

Do you still not see him?

I see him clearly.

Let me introduce

the Banseok University
Medical Center ghost

who did Ms. Gil's surgery.

Translated by Hana Lee

I'm the ghost doctor
who performed surgery on Ms. Gil

instead of the Head
of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Gu Hyunseong.

-Your Honor.
-You don't think we'll lose. Do you?

It's a 50-50 chance.

I'm the new director
of Banseok R and D Center,

Lim Yuna.

You are wearing the earrings.

-Why are you looking at me like that?
-And the other side?

Yuna is the queen.

My lovely partner
who will support me by my side.

Have you ever done a surgery

where you implant a heart
that was implanted in someone else?

Lawyer Han Yihan. Bring him to me.

Do you think I'd k*ll him like this?
