Bloody Flower (블러디 플라워)

We've just received some unbelievable news.

Serial killer Lee Woo Gyeom

who had captured national attention and sparked heated debate

has saved a terminally ill patient.

Following reports that patient Woo Jin, has made a complete recovery,

the court will face greater difficulty in its sentencing deliberations.

If you dig too deep into this,

you're the one who could get hurt.

(Suspension of Indictment for Insufficient Evidence)

A medical demonstration?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Hey. Did you order food?

No, I didn't.

Who are you?

Hello. I...

I'm Chae Jeong Su, the chairman of Chaeum Medical Center.

What brings you here?

First, I'd like to thank you.

What do you mean by that?

Thanks to you, Mr. Park, Lee Woo Gyeom's procedure was a success.

And the final verdict will surely be in his favor.

This means patients ruined by incurable diseases

can finally receive treatment.

I only did my best for my client as his attorney.

And the trial isn't even over yet.

How is your daughter doing?

Excuse me?

I saw it on the news.

Mr. Park.

Do you really think the court will execute a man

who saved a life?

The National Assembly can't ignore public opinion,

and they'll eventually use Lee Woo Gyeom to treat patients.

So, how will they decide who gets treated?

For the sake of fairness, they'll probably

use a lottery system, don't you think?

What are you getting at?

Chaeum will be

the organization that makes the selection.

For patients who need urgent treatment, like your daughter,

Chaeum wants to develop a cure from Lee Woo Gyeom's blood.

To develop the cure, could you be on our side,

and persuade Lee Woo Gyeom?

For your daughter's sake.

(Lee Woo Gyeom's demo may cure the incurable.)

(Components in Lee Woo Gyeom's blood are key.)

(People call for a steady supply of his blood.)

This is insane.

Public opinion, which condemned Lee Woo Gyeom until now,

has swung over 30 percent in his favor. People are so fickle.

It's understandable.

It was the lead story on foreign news too.

I wonder if Lee Woo Gyeom's cure could get rid of this scar.

It drives me crazy every time I look in the mirror.

Hey, look at this.

Look.

Isn't this hilarious?

People are going wild.

But isn't that actually possible?

Totally. I mean, they cured an incurable disease.

Wait a second.

Maybe I should make a business proposition to Lee Woo Gyeom.

What kind of business?

Developing a hair loss treatment. With millions bald, if you made that,

you'd be sitting on a gold mine.

Mr. Park, where are you going?

I'm going to check on Min Seo.

- Take care. - Okay.

Hey, Mr. Park is so worried about Min Seo, and you're... Seriously...

It's Park Han Jun!

- How did you first meet Lee Woo Gyeom? - What convinced you the cure was real?

Did you have a contingency plan for the demonstration's failure?

Gosh, what do you think you're doing?

I'll hold them off. You need to get out of here, fast.

Hold on, wait a minute.

Hey, I'm the one who introduced Mr. Park to Lee Woo Gyeom.

- Head downstairs, quickly! - Mr. Park!

- He called me back then, and... - Mr. Park Han Jun!

- Just a moment! - Hey, wait. Wait!

- Just one comment, please! - Mr. Park!

- All right. I know you're curious, but... - Step back. You can't film this.

Come on, let's discuss this over coffee. We're all colleagues, for crying out loud!

What took you so long?

Prosecutor Cha. What's the status of the trial?

Now, talk of the death penalty is completely off the table for a while.

You'll just have to be patient.

What was that?

The trial isn't over yet.

Are you playing word games with me?

Public opinion has completely swung in his favor.

Even if he gets the death penalty, this isn't a win for us anymore.

I'm going to make this a psychological battle.

Lee Woo Gyeom may have succeeded with his cure,

but people are still afraid of potential side effects.

And that very fear

is what I'm going to exploit.

So you have evidence to support that?

Director Oh. May I be excused?

I have a lot to prepare.

- Sir... - Fine, go! Just go!

Go!

Prepare quickly and perfectly. Got it?

And one more thing, Assemblyman.

You keep saying, "We will win." I think there's been a misunderstanding.

So allow me to set the record straight.

Weren't we supposed to be strategic allies?

The one who wins this trial is me. Not us.

You seem to be under a misconception.

I work for the Public Prosecutors' Office of the Republic of Korea.

I am not your subordinate.

From now on, if you have any questions for me,

you are to come to my office. In person.

You will request an appointment that accommodates my schedule,

and then you may ask. I would appreciate that.

Now then. The trial is imminent, so if you'll excuse me.

What? What did she... What was that?

Is she out of her mind? That...

Who does she think she is?

He's a serial killer who brutally murdered 17 people,

and the man who recently performed a miraculous cure on a terminal patient.

Today is the final hearing in the trial of Lee Woo Gyeom.

Experts remain sharply divided on the matter.

Therefore, the court's stance on where the public's best interests lie

is expected to heavily influence the verdict.

Meanwhile, massive crowds have gathered in front of the courthouse.

There are those calling for Lee Woo Gyeom's immediate execution,

facing off against a group that worships him as a savior.

Police have deployed large forces to prepare for any potential incidents,

and they are on high alert for possible clashes.

For now, the demonstrations are limited to chanting and picket signs,

but the tension at the scene is growing by the minute.

Reporter Jo, you're here.

They haven't gone in yet, have they?

Prosecutor.

Proceed with your sentencing.

A few days ago,

I met with Lee Chang Se, who was rescued at the scene of the defendant's arrest,

and Song Tae Jin, the defendant's sixth patient.

Both men's health has rapidly worsened, and their lives now hang in the balance.

Your Honor.

And yet, can we consider the successful medical demonstration

as definitive proof of the defendant's healing abilities?

I submit that we must not only re-examine the falsehoods

in the evidence, witness accounts, and testimonies

concerning the defendant's cure,

but I also ask this court

to conduct a full review of his alleged healing ability.

As in the original trial,

the prosecution seeks the death penalty.

Defense counsel. Proceed with your closing argument.

Counselor?

I apologize.

I...

If the defendant's cure is a fraud, as the prosecution claims,

then I have no right to make a closing argument here today.

Your Honor.

However, Mr. Song Tae Jin,

unlike the other patients who made a full recovery,

did not believe in the effectiveness of the defendant's treatment.

No, I wasn't cured.

I've started going back to the hospital.

He was concurrently taking other prescribed medications.

The same goes for Lee Chang Se.

Despite the defendant's repeated warnings at the arrest scene, the police

forcibly transferred him to a hospital.

If my treatment method gets mixed with theirs,

he will never recover.

As a result, tragically,

he is now critical due to side effects from the medication. But none of this

is a reason to deny the defendant's ability to heal.

The prosecution continues to ignore the truth,

and I find that deeply regrettable.

Your Honor.

We all

bore witness to that moving moment, that deeply moving moment,

of the defendant curing a young patient.

Some might say that,

the child was cured

like a miracle in a fairy tale.

But the defendant's cure is no fantasy, no magic, and no miracle.

For patients with incurable diseases,

and their families,

it's what they have desperately dreamed of

made into reality.

It is the undeniable fact that gives them a new lease on life.

Therefore, in this trial,

I ask for a sentence that allows him

to serve patients suffering from incurable diseases,

and in doing so, pay his debt to society.

I sincerely ask the court for a wise and just sentence.

Finally, to respect and protect human dignity and value,

and the nobility of the human spirit,

is the very reason we are in this courtroom,

and I believe it is the very essence of the law.

That is all.

I will now deliver the sentence.

The defendant is a brutal criminal who took precious lives.

However, the court

while watching a child get treatment at the hands of the defendant

grappled with a difficult question.
