Cross (Keuroseu / 크로스)

[The characters, groups, places and situations in this drama are fictional.]

How could you reveal such baseless investigation results?

If you don't resolve this, I'll sue you for defamation.

How do you explain that?

We found 200 million won in cash and related documents in his car.

The evidence has been fabricated.

Do you think...

that maybe I didn't know my dad too well?

Don't worry. There's no way.

Thank you for saying that.

Jung Hoon visited me on the day of the accident.

- My dad did? - It seemed like he was curious

about Chief Director Son.

Oh, Dad. This is your first time meeting Doctor Kang, isn't it?

Let me formally introduce myself. I'm a resident, Kang In Kyu.

I know it must be hard, but please work hard for us.

He took over the hospital because of his daughter?

After he lost his wife to heart disease, his one and only daughter

was also diagnosed with heart disease.

Director Lee would know all about it.

He was in charge of that department when he worked at Hanguk Hospital.

Hello, Doctor.

I was hoping you could send me records of when Director Lee worked there.

If a dilated cardiomyopathy patient even had heart failure

would he or she be able to work in urgent care?

Hey, that doesn't make sense.

Right? It doesn't, does it?

Wait a minute.

If the patient had a successful transplant, it'd be possible.

- Hello? - Doctor Kang.

What's wrong with your voice?

Is something the matter?

I discovered another case related to the organ trade.

I think it was a heart.

- A heart? - Yes.

And the beneficiary is someone we know.

Who is it?

Doctor Son Yeon Hee.

Wh... who?

It seems like Doctor Son Yeon Hee from the ER

received an illegal heart transplant.

What's Doctor Son's... blood type?

Rh- A.

When did the surgery take place?

I think it was in 2002. There are no records after that.

Hello?

Doctor Kang. Hello?

Thank you. I'm Son Yeon Hee, an ER specialist.

15 years ago... the head of a household was killed.

Like you, he took the offer because of money...

but one month later, he was found with all his organs extracted.

No way.

Did he join our hospital because...

What are you mumbling to yourself about?

It's nothing.

Doctor Ha.

When Doctor Kang passed out last time

you conducted a blood test, didn't you?

- Yes. - Do you...

happen to remember his blood type?

Of course. He's Rh- A.

A rare blood type.

Rh- A.

Why did the center chief collect these articles?

And Kang In Kyu...

I'm not a doctor at Sunrim Hospital

but a medical officer at Shingwang Prison.

Shingwang Prison?

[Kim Hyung Bum Escapes from Shingwang Prison]

Kang Dae Soo?

Kang In Kyu.

Kang Dae Soo.

Rh- A.

15 years ago, Rh- A.

Joo Hyuk, can I come in?

Yeah, come on in.

Why do you look so serious?

It's nothing.

Here.

- It's a congratulatory gift. - Thanks.

I feel apologetic to the late center chief...

but congratulations.

Thanks.

Kang Dae Soo. Rh- A.

15 years ago, Rh- A.

- Yeon Hee. - Yeah?

Didn't you get your surgery in 2002?

- Yeah. - What month?

January.

Yeon Hee, I'm sorry, but I have to get going.

I forgot about an urgent matter I need to take care of.

Okay, I understand.

Is the heart that Yeon Hee received related to the victim of this case?

What are you saying all of a sudden?

- I already know. - I don't know anything about this.

Father.

I said, I don't know anything!

But you were the one...

who performed Yeon Hee's surgery.

Did this... victim's heart...

really go to Yeon Hee?

I didn't know when I operated!

Believe me.

I really didn't know when I operated.

The heart donor wouldn't have been on record.

So how did you not know?

I'm telling the truth.

I didn't know where he got it, but he came to me with a heart

and begged me to save Yeon Hee.

Even so, aren't you a doctor?

I didn't have a choice!

If I hadn't operated, we would've lost both the heart and Yeon Hee!

But...

it was still a surgery that you shouldn't have performed.

But as a result, Yeon Hee lived.

I've always wondered why you put down the scalpel.

But I finally understand.

When you saved Yeon Hee that day, you gave up being a doctor.

Where's Doctor Son Yeon Hee right now?

She stepped out for a moment.

What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

No words can comfort you.

That's how I felt when my mom passed away.

I don't mean to be rude...

but may I ask how your mother passed away?

She had heart disease.

Dilated cardiomyopathy.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a highly heritable disease.

Yes, my dad suffered a lot because of it.

After my mom passed away, I got sick too.

Are you okay now?

As you can see, it doesn't affect my daily life anymore.

But dilated cardiomyopathy is difficult to cure.

I had a transplant.

Then... do you know anything about the donor?

Patients, like doctors, aren't informed

of the donor's identity.

Don't, Doctor Kang.

- Let go of me. - I get it, but this isn't the time.

We're not even sure yet.

It's not like we have biopsy results.

And... Doctor Son doesn't know anything.

She'll be shocked if she finds out.

Let's go upstairs.

It's true that she got a heart transplant, but there's no record of it.

And the surgery probably took place during the hospital's takeover process.

I don't understand how a person who was directly involved could be unaware.

Doctor Son was 19 years old at the time.

And she was in a coma due to her heart failure.

It's possible that she has no idea.

I better look for related documents then.

Now that we know that Chief Director Son was the one who was involved.

I'll look for the related documents.

She would have had periodic examinations after the surgery.

If there are no records of that...

then we'll have no choice but to conduct a biopsy.

We can only conduct a biopsy as a last resort.

Since that would involve removing a part of her heart tissue.

Now...

it's your turn to talk.

I know you know something about Dad's death.

Tell me. I should know too, when it has to do with Dad.

Tell me already. I know that's what you were up to yesterday and today.

You're right.

I did look into his accident.

And?

But I haven't found anything yet.

Hello?

Please come to the center chief's office.

What is this about?

I need to talk to you about something.

- Where are you going? - Doctor Lee asked to see me.

Why would Doctor Lee ask to see you?

I'm not sure.

Yes?

Although it's only temporary, as long as I'm the center chief

I should know about our team members...

so I looked into your personnel record.

And I've been curious about it for quite some time now.

Then please get to the point.

The reason you joined our hospital.

I need to know that reason.

Why do you ask me that all of a sudden?

Then let me put it differently.

Is it just by coincidence

that the son of a murder victim from 15 years ago...

worked at the assailant's prison?

The man who entered Shingwang Prison for revenge is at Sunrim Hospital now.

I need to know if you're here for more revenge.

How much do you know?

I just know that you didn't join this hospital to help the patients.

You're right.

Kim Hyung Bum killed my father

and someone at this hospital...

instigated... my father's murder.

After killing my biological father, he even killed my foster father.

- By foster father, you mean... - The center chief.

So I'm going to make sure he pays for everything he did.

It's not that I can't understand how you feel, but...
