God's Quiz (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Lost City of Idols - full transcript

The medical team investigates the death of a beloved pop star.

Cut, cut!

You're one step late, Gina.

-Sorry.
-Let's try again.

Cut, cut!

-Gina!
-Gina!

Oh no!

-Gina!
-Oh my gosh!

-Gina!
-Gina!

THE NFS FOUNDED MEDICAL EXAMINER
OFFICES IN FIVE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS.

THE OFFICE IN HANKOOK UNIVERSITY IS
IN CHARGE OF SECOND AUTOPSIES

AND HAS INVESTIGATION AUTHORITY
OVER RARE DISEASE CASES.



Gina, the leader of the popular
girl group JeSS has died unexpectedly.

EPISODE 2

Wait!

Can you tell us how you feel now?

It seems she didn't just take
sleeping pills.

Those are all rumors.

I'll talk at the press conference.

-Please tell us something!
-Please!

Can you please tell us more?

-Wait a moment!
-Sorry!

How did this happen?

She was just 20 years old.

I wonder what she took.

Was it drugs?



There are many rumors about her online.

Rumors about drug abuse,
pregnancy and abortion.

Kids these days only know
how to act badly.

The old sayings are all true.

If you give the kids money,
they do whatever they feel like.

She also died while doing something bad.

Don't talk about other people's lives.

Why are you crying?

Did you bite your tongue?

Gina is not...

someone who would do...

something like that.

What's wrong with him?

Didn't you know, chief?

He's a hardcore fan of Gina.

A what?

It's something kids say these days.

They use it
when they really like something.

Isn't he obsessed with porn?

Gosh.

He likes a bit of clothing sometimes too.

Cheer up! I'll make you feel better.

I should go cheer him up. Seong-do!

Detective Kang.

I'm sorry. I know how busy you are.

It's not like this is the first time.

I'd do it myself, but I don't have time.

You understand, right?

Let's go.

It seems that there won't be an autopsy.

So, please write a report
once you find out.

So they won't perform an autopsy?

Yes, it seems so.

Because she died of
sleeping pill overdose.

There are no other drugs.

We performed a drug test,
but it came out negative.

But that doesn't make sense.

And this isn't a small case.

The company and her parents want
this case closed quickly too.

I'll leave it to you.

By the way,

try not to cause trouble, got it?

Our members are

feeling very overwhelmed now.

I hope that after what happened to Gina,

people will reflect about spreading

baseless rumors on the internet.

Are the rumors related to Gina's death?

Gina was under a lot of stress

because of her internet rumors

about her pregnancy and drug usage.

Which led her to sleeping problems.

And because of that,
she overdosed on sleeping pills.

It seems that Gina was about to get fired
because of those rumors.

Is that the truth?

That's also just a rumor.

Gina will always be JeSS' leader.

There are many people who
don't believe her cause of death.

Did you really decide
not to have an autopsy?

That's right.

It was decided with Gina's parents.

Yes, I know I'm being impolite,

but I have a question.

Why did you decide not to have an autopsy?

I think I already told
the detective in charge not to call me.

Please ask Mr. Kim about Gina.

A great quantity of zolpidem was found
in the victim's vomit.

The overdose led to angioneurotic edema,

which led to paralysis and heart attack.

What's this? Is that it?

Does that make sense to you?

Zolpidem is a non benzodiazepine.

So, there shouldn't be any side effects.

Are you saying that overdose might
not have been the cause of death?

There's a very slight chance that
she could have gone into shock, but...

Gosh, that doesn't make any sense.

Maybe if her respiratory track was blocked

after taking hundreds of sleeping pills.

The most likely cause is drugs.

But we can discard that
since her drug test came out negative.

Then did she die while dancing

after taking sleeping pills?

Let me put it this way.

The chances of that happening are

smaller than dying by falling
into a manhole after trying to avoid a car

while trying to avoid
another car in the first place.

So, in conclusion,

we must have an autopsy
in order to find out the truth.

It can't be helped.

Who's the prosecutor in charge?
Should I pressure him?

He won't allow it easily.

Because there are not enough
suspicion or reason.

On top of that,

the legal team of the company
where Gina worked for is Wintis.

Wintis?

It'll be very hard for us to do
our jobs with them involved!

They plan to cremate her body tomorrow.

We only have today.

I don't get it.

Why is her family so in rush
to close this case?

It's obvious, isn't it?

Korea's top idol is dead.

But there'll be no autopsy. Why?

Because the rumors

about her pregnancy and abortion

will all come to light.

Are you saying that
all the rumors are true?

Our Gina is not like that!

Detective Kang. Something is wrong here.

We must do an autopsy.

You scared me.

We should try to persuade her family
instead of the prosecutor.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm a detective in charge.
Get out of my way.

We can't let you pass.

We were instructed not to let anybody in.

You can't come in. Please go back.

Sorry, but I'll have
to use force against you.

What are you doing?

Good evening.

I called you this morning.
I'm Detective Kang.

-I need to ask you something...
-I told you talk

to Mr. Kim about it.

No, I must talk to you.

I have nothing to hear or say.

So, please leave.

Sir.

We must do an autopsy.

-There are too many...
-Excuse me.

Sir, please.

Hello. My name is Jin-woo Han,
and I called you

from Hankook University
Medical Examiner's Office.

As I explained before,
there are no reasons to do an autopsy.

If we do an autopsy,

and get no results,
things will only get worse.

So, please leave.

Do you want to make a deal?

You took Songsan Hospital's
medical malpractice case, right?

I think Wintis took that case as well.

But it seems that you're about to lose.

I wonder which doctor testified

to give you such a hard time.

That case is not hard to win.

What do you mean?

The thing is,

cerebral surgery is not that easy to...

Hold on. We're doing this backwards.

Don't you need to
help me with my case first?

I like ballads a lot.

Of course, I want to be recognized
in Korea.

But my dream is to become
the queen of pop in the US.

Because my team members work very hard,

there are more people that recognize us.

Why are you calling me at this hour?

I've one condition.

Sorry?

Every time I do something nice,

you must drive me
home for a month, got it?

What on earth are you talking about?

Gina's autopsy has been allowed.

What do you mean?

I've already told you that
we've no intention of...

This is a warrant for Gina's corpse.

What on earth...

The autopsy will
take place today at 2 p.m.

What's going on here, Mr. Park?

You can't do that.

Her cause of death has
already been determined.

It's been decided by
the prosecutor in charge

regardless of your medical team's opinion.

The cause of death is not clear.

It needs more investigation.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT

-Dr. Han!
-You scared me.

Are you crazy?

How could you have done that
without my consent!

Does that really matter?

Thanks to me,
we were allowed to carry out an autopsy.

So, you made a deal with the prosecutor?

So what? Everybody got what they wanted.

Be quiet!

This is an abuse of authority

and a violation.

I was trying to help.

Why are you yelling at me?

Regardless of the result,

I can't let it go easily.

I'm going to report this to the hospital's
disciplinary committee, and...

-Yes, but...
-You're in big trouble!

-There was no time!
-You punk!

Do you want to end your career here?

Write a report about what happened
and bring it to my office now!

Why is he only harsh on me?

Good job.

You're good at getting into accidents.

I'll accept my punishment,

so don't be so harsh.

Be quiet.

But...

how did you solve
Songsan's medical malpractice case?

I really want to know.

Is that it?

-Sit down.
-Sure.

But if I tell you...

-will you forget about what happened?
-Jeez.

Just tell me.

I'll take care of her.

And don't overdo it, got it?

I got it.

Gina Kim

Enough.

Let's start.

-This is unexpected.
-You're right.

The twist is as good as
in The Sixth Sense ,

What's the cause of death?

Septicemia.

-Septicemia?
-That's right.

Let's see.

Her esophagus, stomach
and large intestine.

The cause of the bleeding there
can be because of drugs.

But it shouldn't have caused her death.

But

because of her high fever
due to her septicemia,

her blood vessels and nerves ruptured.

Her cerebral artery got swollen
due to her high fever.

Everything ruptured at once,

even her nervous system became damaged.

That's why when she died,

she got convulsions, and coughed blood.

Look at her eye.

Do you see how her optic nerve
and blood vessels erupted?

For this to happen,

her body temperature must
have been over 40 degrees.

What's the reason for her septicemia?

The highest possibility is a virus.

Most likely influenza.

It shouldn't be too hard to see
if it's influenza.

But if not, we need to have a blood test.

Hold on.

We need to investigate again.

Even if it's septicemia and convulsions,

her body is extremely stiff.

It might differ depending on the person.

There's no need to check that again.

You might be right.

But look carefully.

Her hands.

And over there.

Her feet.

If you look at her hands and feet,

the stiffness levels are different.

I can see she had a chronic illness,

which did not spread evenly.

What are you?

How can you tell just by touching her?

Do you think I got here by playing around?

I'll check again.

Fine.

-Dr. Kim?
-Yes.

Stitch her so she looks

nice and pretty

like she did when she was alive, got it?

Yes, chief. Thanks.

We've established
that it wasn't influenza.

First,

we've established that
it wasn't influenza,

but another virus.

We'll find out which type of virus,

after a detailed blood test.

After checking other tests,

we'll be able to establish
her exact cause of death.

So, are you saying that
sleeping pills did not cause her death?

That's right.

We did find sleeping pills components,

but it's not related to
her cause of death.

And I want to add one more thing.

I've heard the rumors

about Gina's pregnancy and abortion.

But those are mean-spirited rumors.

She never had sexual intercourse.

So, she couldn't have been pregnant
nor have an abortion.

This might be very personal,
but I'm telling you this

to save her honor.

Mr. Kim won't be joining us.
So, talk freely.

Mr. Kim told you,

that Gina might have had an abortion
after finding out she was pregnant, right?

So, he advised against an autopsy
in order to hide this truth, right?

I have no excuse.

I was just...

I understand how you feel.

But you should have followed
the procedure.

It was all my fault.

My wife wanted an autopsy, but...

Has Gina told you that she felt sick?

Because of her personality,

she doesn't say those kinds of things.

That young girl,

she had always endured everything alone.

When was the last time you saw her?

Two months ago.

But only for a short moment.

During her rehearsal break.

Gosh.

She didn't have any time to see you?

Because of her schedule.

We couldn't even see her during holidays.

Her company was very strict.

No wonder your daughter got sick.

I understand that you'd want
to exploit her when she's famous,

but you should have checked
how she was doing.

Even circus animals are given a break.

Don't feel so guilty.

There's another person
who needs to be held responsible.

It'd be hard for you
to avoid your charges.

Charges?

What do you mean?

For negligence towards your employees.

You should be careful
with your words, Detective Kang.

You're just talking to Mr. Kim,

not interrogating him.

So tough.

We're telling you that
because we're just talking.

Who are you?
From which department are you?

My department? I'm Han
from Cheungju Guksabong.

Sorry?

He's Jin-woo Han, a part-time doctor
for the medical examiner's office.

You're a doctor?

What else could I be?

Don't I look like a doctor?

Should I have a sticker on my forehead
saying that I'm a doctor?

Mr. Kim has consistently lied, concealed,

and watered down.

Aren't you being too rude?

Concealed? I've never done that.

You advised Gina's parents
against autopsy by lying,

deleted all records about the incident,

and silenced witnesses.

Isn't that concealment?

You're taking it too far.

I just objected

about the autopsy
in order to keep Gina's honor.

She was like a daughter to me.

She was?

Then, why did you make her shoot
a video with that high fever.

It seems that you're
misunderstanding something.

Idols live with their sickness.

Even if I tell them to rest
and go to the hospital,

they refuse to do so.

Because they know very well

that it's survival
of the fittest out there.

They don't want to fall behind.

So, they keep going
even if they might faint.

That's so weird.

She should have fainted
many times in her state.

She shouldn't have even been able to move.

There's no way you weren't aware of it.

This is very strange.

Where did you hear
about her pregnancy and abortion?

Did you get that information from someone?

I really wanted to know that too.

Can you tell me
about any juicy secret scandals?

I promise not to tell anybody. I swear.

You don't have to answer that.

This is clearly an illegal interrogation.

Please try again
after following the official procedure.

Let's go.

How tough.

You're very stubborn.

Do you really have to ask me to buy you
dinner even though I'm busy?

It wouldn't have been fair to me
If I had missed this chance.

You know, I did something nice for you.

This was the only way to get you
to buy me dinner.

You might be a genius, but it's hard
to tell by the way you eat.

One quarter of my daily nutrients
goes to my brain.

I must eat lots for my brain

Why? Because my brain is worth it.

Isn't she sexy?

She is perfect.

This is too much,

making a young girl dance
half naked like that.

They become eye candy for men.

They have an idol mania to put it softly.

But aren't they just stimulating
their Lolita complex?

And on the news,

they say there's a problem
with sexual relations

and rape with minors.

Do you know what's the downfall
of men and the world?

Can you just tell me without asking me?

Fine.

The answer is

"Why are you blaming me for this?"

That's the worst value
that ruins the world.

The people who are making
those kids do those things

have no idea what they're doing wrong.

And they don't care about knowing.

It's enough for them to make
money and become famous.

As long as they get enough clicks
for their articles, it's enough for them.

And then,

do you know what they tell those kids
that they took advantage of?

"It's your life,
you should take care of yourself!"

Grown-ups are so nice.

What's this?

As you can see,

we found a virus.

Gosh.

What's wrong?

It's because the virus is
an influenza virus.

Influenza?

Flu?

Then, she died of a flu?

Right, flu.

She got septicemia because of a flu.

How can a flu kill somebody like that?

Because she didn't treat it on time.

She just needed medicine
and a good night rest.

The level of protein
in her spinal fluid was very high.

And it shows
that she had a great number of cells.

There was something wrong
with her peripheral nervous system.

But

It's uncertain

how her high fever caused

her cerebral hemorrhage.

We need to investigate more.

Then, I'll request for
an extension for investigation.

If you need to find out more,
please send me a sample anytime.

Let's put off the press conference
until we find out the truth.

And delay the funeral.

Hello.

Wow!

Did Mr. Kim allow you to be here?

No.

He didn't. That's why we came on our own.

You can't do this.

We just need ten minutes.

You need to get
Mr. Kim's permission first.

I won't ask again.

starting now,
you are obstructing the investigation.

Then, let's do this quickly.

The practice room look so shabby
for the best idol group.

Semi-basement with no ventilation.

It smells so moldy in here.

No wonder she got sick from working here.

Mr. Kim picked this place,

so we won't forget our resolution.

What a load of nonsense!

He picked this place because it was cheap!

The rent looks like it's less
than 800,000 won.

Has Gina been sick before?

Please think carefully.

I'm not sure.

We lived all together,

but Gina lived somewhere else.

Mr. Kim was especially nice to her.

I know.

But I'm sure you saw her
while you were practicing with her.

-Ashley.
-Yes?

Do you want to say something?

No.

It smells so nice in here.

The house where female idols live
definitely smells nicer.

You sound like a pervert. You should stop.

It seems that she composed, too.

That's right, she composed
the song for track eleven.

I really like that song.

It sounded different
from other idol groups' songs.

Since when have you been her fan?

It just happened
after listening to her songs often.

But something feels weird.

It seems that Mr. Kim cleaned the place

before the investigation team arrives.

He even formatted Gina's computer.

Then, I'll go to the bathroom
for a moment.

I know that you're not like that...

but don't do anything strange.

Who do you think I am?

What are you doing?

The wastebasket looks empty.

But this was attached there.

What does it look like?

Didn't she just use that to cover a wound?

No.

The band-aid was used
after she got a shot.

Or after someone took her blood.

The blood looks recent.

This is Detective Kang.

One, two, three.

I'm not sure,

but Gina looked sick.

She kept messing up the choreography.

She couldn't move like she used to.

So...

her face looked very tense
like she was about to laugh or cry?

Yes, that's right.

Ashley.

Why did you decide to tell us?

I feel bad for Gina.

Nobody would say anything
even after how she died.

Mr. Kim knew how sick she was
and didn't do anything about it.

All he did was treating her badly.

Why?

Gina was not like other idols.

She liked ballad songs
and was good a composer.

She asked Mr. Kim to go solo

if her second album succeeded.

And he agreed.

But he didn't keep his promise
even after her fourth album.

Gina kept insisting that he keep his word,

which made Mr. Kim angry.

So, he created a rumor

to create a reason to fire her.

He tried to have her expelled from
the association so she couldn't come back.

Then, he was the one who
spread those rumors?

That's right.

That guy sure is evil.

I could tell by his face.

How do you know all this?

Gina asked me

to give this to the reporters

in case something happened to her.

Please have a press release
about my solo career.

That was the deal!

How dare you!

Punks like you don't know about gratitude.

I'm not a punk.

This was my dream
and the reason I worked hard.

I did everything you asked me to!

Shut up and just do what I say!

Do as you say?

You want me to do all that again?

I can't go serving

to the investors anymore.

You tried to have me kicked

by spreading rumors
because I wouldn't listen, right?

You thought I didn't know that?

-What?
-I endured everything,

but what about Ashley?

Ashley,

That day she came back
after she left with you,

she cried all day.

She said she wanted to die.

I'll give you until next weekend.

If you won't do as I asked,

you'll regret it.

You little bitch!
Who do you think you're threatening?

That human trash.

I found out about the hospital.

It was a flu shot.

What kind?

It was KU flu-32.

KU flu?

-Did she come alone?
-No.

She came with her manager.

Was it this person?

Yes.

Even if I raise my head

You're nowhere to be found

For how long did you run?

It looks like you're in a rush

Why are you acting this way?

Did something happen?

I can't do anything

She had high level of cells
and protein in her spinal fluid.

She also had convulsions and stiffness.

And got a flu due to
her weak immune system.

I struggled a bit to get this information.

Gina had Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

What? She had AIDP?

That's right.

Acute inflammatory demyelinating
polyradiculoneuropathy.

Can you explain it in layman's term?

Yes, it's hard.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome is

a nervous system disease
due to a weak immune system.

It's an extremely rare disease.

And the cause of it is very absurd.

The antibodies mistook
the motor nerves and sensory nerves

as cells from the outside
and attacked them.

So, her body killed her own body.

In medical terms,
her body had an auto-immune disease.

Anyway, this is why her arms, legs

and facial muscles became stiff.

and her immune system became weak rapidly.

The virus got in
when her body was in that state.

She got a live vaccine?

That's right. It was KU flu-32.

What do you mean by live vaccine?

You keep asking tough questions.

Vaccines are divided
between live and inactivated vaccine.

In case of an inactivated vaccine,

We only take out the materials that boost
immunity from the bacteria and use it.

While live vaccine, live microorganisms
are used in the vaccine.

But you only use enough

in order to boost your immunity
without creating a disease.

So, she didn't know she had a disease.

That's why...

For her, a flu shot was like poison.

If somebody cared about her...

How come nobody around her knew
about her terrible disease?

Oh yeah!

Gosh. I came here quickly thinking
you were watching something dirty.

It's JeSS again?

During this week of mourning,

dirty movies are banned.

Don't you feel bad watching that?

Why do you keep watching it?

At the fan website,

I complimented Gina's dance
for getting better lately.

But it was because of that nasty disease.

She kept dancing even
when her arms and legs were getting stiff.

Do you know about James Dean?

People thought he looked cool

when he gave those side-glances in movies.

But only a few people knew
that he had a vision problem.

-Really?
-Yes.

The public know only what they can see,

and then they fantasize about it.

She was very hard working.

I feel so sad,

that my heart aches.

What's that? Hold on.

Can you rewind that a bit?

I found this on YouTube.

This is when JeSS went
to New York a month ago.

It wasn't an official concert.

It was an impromptu concert in a club.

An American filmed this.

It seems her symptoms were
severe at that moment.

SEOUL METROPOLITIAN POLICE AGENCY

That I did what?

That I aided with her death,

that I destroyed evidence,

and that I used the girls
for sexual favors?

You're not making sense.

You really are something.

You're playing innocent
even after listening to her recordings?

That recording is meaningless.

Gina was trying to get
the answer that she wanted.

I'm sure the court will not accept it
as evidence.

As expected from Wintis.

That's why they're paying
a lot for your service.

It seems that you're using me
as your scapegoat.

But that's useless.

I won't fall for that trick.

Then, how about
aiding and abetting a murder?

What?

You insolent...

What are you talking about?
Say that when you have evidence.

I think the eleventh track
from JeSS' fourth album is the best.

Why did you put this song
on the eleventh track?

The first one is complete trash.

Were you talking about something?

Oh, yes... evidence.

I have evidence.

Mr. Kim really did something bad.

When we checked the car number,

we discovered that
it went to Saint Ganaham.

Fortunately, she was
able to get treatment and get better.

But do you know what the difference is
between Korean and American hospitals?

They check for everything.

In case something happens later.

After we got ahold of Gina's medical
records from the police

which were written by Dr. Johnson
who used to be her doctor,

we found out that she had
Guillain-barre syndrome.

Didn't you know?

I didn't now.

I had to return to Korea right away
because I was busy.

But Dr. Johnson said

he sent you an e-mail regarding
her treatment and precautions.

Mails in English look like spam to me.

So, I delete them without opening them.

I see.

I open them all.

Because I get coupons for eBay sometimes.

Anyway,

this is Dr. Johnson's medical record.

You can see he wrote precautions here.

It clearly says that she shouldn't get
flu shots or similar vaccines.

But her manager took Gina

to get a flu shot.

If you made her take a flu shot

in spite of knowing this fact, then you're

murderers.

Hey, doctor,

are you playing with me or what?

Gosh.

Don't act dumb with me.

Please.

So, you deleted the mail
without opening it.

You might have deleted it
from your computer,

but it's still in your company's server.

And we can check if you opened it or not.

It looks like you opened
in June 17th, 2010,

at 2:28 p.m.

It's possible that I deleted it
without reading it!

Because I don't know English.

I'm sure you'd have asked
Dr. Kim to help you with the mail.

Dr. Kim translated your mail,

and sent it to you.

MEDICAL RECORD

You also opened that mail.

There's no way you'll tell us
that you can't read Korean, right?

Dr. Kim carefully saved
this mail in his hard drive,

in case he needed to use it against you.

You thought you were friends,
but it seems you didn't trust each other.

Don't you have anything to say, Mr. Lee?

I just did what I was told.

I had no idea.

What you bastard?

You begged me to let you do it
when I was going to ask the director.

When did I do that?

Everything he says it's a lie!

Are you crazy?

-Please calm down.
-You bastard.

You guys are really something.

You could write a novel.

Detective Kang.

These smart criminals should be
in jail for a long time.

I'm not sure exactly,

but you'll be in jail for a long time.

That bitch. If she hadn't
tried to act foolish...

I told you that I'd give you
until this weekend.

You're still acting tough?

Who do you think you are to give me time?

Do you know what this is?

I've recorded

all our conversations in here.
Even about Ashley.

-What?
-This is my last warning.

If you won't do what I asked
by this weekend,

I'll release this to every news media
by Monday morning.

Got it?

To be quite frank,

don't they give
their bodies to their careers?

Who was the person
that gave them money and fame!

Do you know what the biggest crime is?

To be unaware of your crimes,

and not caring about it!

If I were the judge,

you'd be sentenced to 100 years
to life in prison.

Doctor.

Once you get old,

shouldn't you become less greedy,

and be more generous to other people?

You should.

But

Not many people are like that.

The older they get,

the tighter they hold onto things.

They do everything they can
to hold on tighter.

Very disgracefully.

Is that human instinct?

Animals...

don't take more than what they need.

That's the law.

But humans are

capable of stealing even from babies.

That's why humans

are a unique species

that defy nature.

as they evolve more and more.

There's nothing strange with the corpse.

But there's something inside
the victim's fingernails.

It seems that it was a hired assassin.

Is the criminal a high school student?

Detective Kang saved me,

He was well aware of what he was doing.

This life is like a drug.

It's a strange world
that makes everybody crazy.

We were the only ones in this world.

If the world didn't change,

then we were the ones
that had to change ourselves.

Please help me, and I'll help you too.

There are criminals everywhere I go.

Should I tell you something interesting?
