Woman Dies of a Heart Attack
While Sleeping With a Fan On.

EPISODE 6

That's why my mom says
not to sleep with the fan on.

I sleep with the fan by my feet.

That's ridiculous.

Those are all just rumors.

Right, Yoon-jung?



Yes, I agree.

-See?
-You're wrong!

There's a theory that says it's dangerous.

You're driving me nuts!

There are lots of theories,
but no objective studies.

Okay. I got it.

I can't let this one go.

-Just wait.
-What?

Chief!

I'm sure they'll find out
if there's something wrong.

There's no reason for us
to take this case.

What do you mean? This is suspicious!

This is not the place
to satisfy your curiosity.

It's not because I'm curious.
Something smells fishy in here.



How can someone die from a fan?

Chief.

Let me make you a comparison.

Let's say I rode a motorcycle
without a helmet.

But the wind is very strong,

and I die from suffocation
due to that wind.

It's the same thing.
Does that even make sense?

It doesn't!

We can't just do what we want.

Who said to do that?

I'm just suggesting for a proposal.

Yes? Yes?

Gosh! You're so annoying!

There's no proof that

people can die from respiratory problems
or from hypothermia.

Americans think
only Koreans believe in such superstition.

For somebody to die of hypothermia,

the body's temperature has to decrease
by 10 degrees within a day.

And the only way to do that is
sleeping naked outside during winter.

You've also slept on the street in winter
after passing out drunk.

Stop hitting me.

The same with suffocation and hypoxia.

It can't happen
unless you're in a completely sealed room.

Why? Because air can flow in

despite the fact
that we're in a tightly closed room.

The medical community is
also divided because of this.

Right.

What Dr. Hans said is
a universally accepted theory,

but we shouldn't ignore
the opinion of the minority.

That's why we need an autopsy.

Very well.

Okay.

Good!

This is...

He's an organ trafficker, Hoon Kang.

We caught him last year,

but released him due to the lack of
evidence.

And after you threw him a few punches,
we both had to write a written apology.

Gosh.

Hoon Kang.

Is he at it again?

I think so.

You're not sure?

We caught a personal credit
information theft,

and one of his client was Hoon Kang.

So, I had an agent to check
for more information.

It seems like

he's been busy because of business.

Doesn't that give you a feeling?

It's not just a feeling,
it's pretty much certain.

If you don't mind working in the office,

would you like to work with me?

Sure.

We should throw him in jail
for sure this time.

Detective Kang!

I knew it.

What?

Where's Detective Kang?

She had to go back quickly
because of work.

What?

Is she doing fun stuff by herself again?

-Ouch.
-Fun stuff?

She's a hardworking person.

What do you hit me for?

Let's see.

She was 23 years old.

She worked at a restaurant and was single.

She died 36 hours ago

from the time she was found.

The person who reported her death
was her co-worker, Joo-ran Seo.

She called the police
when she couldn't reach her by phone.

Looking at the photos,
it doesn't seem like there was a break in.

Right. And nothing suspicious
was caught with identification.

Look at that!

The fan is directed at her face.

Oh my gosh. You're driving me crazy.

I feel like doing flips
on the air because of you.

She didn't die because of her fan.

She died for some reason,

and that fan just happened to be there.

But what if the fan weren't there?

She might still be alive.

Gosh!

Enough!

You're just going to talk?

There's nothing particular.

Let's see. It looks like an abrasion.

-Okay, let's start.
-Yes, ma'am.

Yu-na Lee

The cause of death is pulmonary edema.

Take a look.

It's filled with body fluid.

She could barely breathed
with all that in her lungs.

It seems that her vowels are
filled with fluid, too.

Right.

Because pulmonary edema
and ascites are related.

What causes pulmonary edema?

Are you really asking me that?

No.

But Detective Kang would've asked
that by now.

It feels a bit empty without her.

So silly.

The reason she had pulmonary edema was

not cardiogenic, but non-cardiogenic.

The cause was
acute respiratory distress syndrome.

What do you think, Dr. Han?

Me too.

I also think it's because of ARDS.

I didn't see that at the clinic.

Oh my gosh.

ARDS,

or acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The pulmonary capillaries become
more penetrable,

which allows the lungs to build up fluid.

So, your chest feels stuffy,
you can't breathe,

and start coughing a lot.

Remember that.

The problem is

there are many causes for ARDS.

The most common cause is

septicemia caused by a virus infection.

But I doubt this is the case.

She has no external injuries
nor it seems that she inhaled toxic steam.

And no infection.

That's why it's most likely
that a fan is what killed her.

Gosh.

Don't just try to guess.

We need to find out through investigating.

You're all talk.
I thought you were a man of science.

Look ever here.

Her ovaries are very swollen.

Based on the size,
she might have had an ovarian cyst.

It seems that way.

We need to do a biopsy to find out.

Okay.

Do you think it's related
to her breathing problem?

Let's assume not for now.

But I see a bit of bleeding.

I don't think it's an ovarian cyst.

You know that

the morphology can be widely varied
based on the symptoms, right?

I know, but...

Anyway, let's wait for the results.

Again you're being unpleasant.

If you have doubts, then find proof.

Fine.

Ma'am.

Has it been a long time
since you've seen your daughter?

We only talked on the phone
like two times a month.

She almost never came home.

But when we talked on the phone,

she always asked for money.

All she did was pester me.

Wasn't she working?

Well...

I guess she didn't make enough.

The truth is

we were well-off back then.

But after my husband's business
went bankrupt

and passed away

she couldn't adapt to the change.

Did Yu-na mention that she was sick?

Not at all.

Since she was young,

she was endowed with health.

I found out that it's exodaphine.

Exodaphine?

It's an analgesic much stronger
than morphine.

Most ordinary people
don't have access to it.

Gosh.

Ouch.

Why is that sticking out like that?

Ouch.

I know that you're not the criminal.

So, wait just a bit longer.

On my honor as a doctor,

I'll find proof that you're not...

Gosh. Even Detective Kang is not here.

This is so boring.

My cough is getting worse.
Time to go shopping.

Let's drink! It's payday!
I need Swarovski .

That's cute.

BOBBI

Looking at her lungs and ovaries,

I thought she must've been
to the hospital.

But she has no hospital card.

No prescriptions nor medicine bag.

She only has pain killers
and indigestion pills.

I thought she was just taking a day off.

But we couldn't contact her.

So, I called the police just in case.

It seems that you were worried about her.

Not really.

If she doesn't show up,
it's more troublesome for me.

Sorry?

You didn't get along with her, then?

There's nobody who got along

with her here.

So, she was a loner, right?

-Gosh!
-Oh no!

-Are you okay?
-What are you doing?

We're so sorry.

What the heck is this?

Apologize now, Yu-na.

Whatever.

We're so sorry.

She acted very snobbishly at work.

Like she was a big deal or something.

She said we were not
at her level or something.

If that's the truth,

I'm sure people didn't like her that much.

But she didn't really care
about what others think.

Did Yu-na mention

that she was sick or something?

I'm not sure. I don't think so.

Right.

I think it was three or four months ago.

I think she had nausea.

She also puked a lot.

And she said she felt bloated often.

Are you okay?

Also, sometimes,

her face would look very pale,

and she would cough a lot.

I'm sure it was from drinking
and partying too much.

GWANAK PLAZA
SHOPPING CENTER

How can I help you?

It's been a while, Detective Park.

And Detective Kang.

What brings you here?

You're coming
with us to the station, Hoon Kang.

Why? I'm eating now.

Stop laughing, you bastard.

Get up, now!

You can't escape this time.

You were able to burn it
before we arrived the last time,

but this time you didn't have time.

This?

Those are the names of my clients.

What kind of clients?

Of those selling their organs?

This is nuts.

Didn't I tell you that you're wrong?

I lend money to people.

The people in that list
borrowed money from me.

You can see
by checking their bank account.

Shall we call them

and interrogate them?

Sure.

Whenever you want.

If you're wrong this time again...

I won't sit still.

-Yoon-jung.
-Yes, Dr. Han?

You don't have the results yet, right?

No. It's taking a bit too long
because I have to take many tests.

And Detective Kang is not here today.

I should go home and play games.

See you.

-Good night.
-You, too.

-Dr. Han.
-Yes?

I forgot what I was going to tell you.

Gosh.

You're so absent minded.

Write it down when you remember
and tell me later. Okay?

-Okay.
-See you.

GYNECOLOGY

Dr. Han.

And you are?

It's me, Soo-yeon Lee.

-Oh, right! What are you doing here?
-Right.

I saw Doctor Jang a moment ago.

I'm on my way to the obstetrician.

-Obstetrician?
-Yes.

I'm not sure if I understand.

Doesn't Soo-yeon Lee have Swyer Syndrome?

How can she get pregnant?

SWYER SYNDROME, WHEN A WOMAN CAN'T
GET PREGNANT DUE TO OVARIAN PROBLEM.

Obviously, she can't get
pregnant naturally.

That's why she's getting
artificial insemination.

Oh, it didn't come across my mind.

I glanced at it before. Take a look.

Right.

Besides her ovaries, her uterus look good.

She should have no problem
getting pregnant.

Right. Her dream is to have a baby.

We should help her.

But does she have an egg donor?

That's the problem.

It's hard to find a donor.

And even if we find one,

the process is quite painful.

It's something that us men
can't understand.

It seems he deleted the names
that he couldn't persuade.

He only has the bank accounts
of the people he worked with.

The people who received the money
won't talk too easily.

There are 20 people.
Let's divided them into ten.

But isn't there something strange?

All of the clients in his list are women.

You're right.

A LIST OF ORGAN SELLERS

Sell my organ?

I just

borrowed money from him.

If everything comes to light,

you'll also be charged with perjury,
Sang-mi Kim.

I'm telling you the truth.

I just

borrowed money from him.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm sorry, but could you lift
your shirt up to your upper stomach?

So?

She's the same as the others.

She doesn't have a surgery scar.

What's going on?

If they sold their organs,

they should have some kind of scar.

This is strange.

November 12th...

Heart.

Lungs.

Pulmonary edema.

And this is... I'm not sure.

Have some.

This is very strange.

By the way...

What?

Could it be

that they had psychic surgery?

Psychic...

What's that?

It was on the news a lot.

A psychic surgeon in the Philippines,

removed a tumor with his hand

without leaving a scar.

So maybe,

this person removed the organs
by psychic surgery too.

Whatever.

I was being serious.

What other method could there be
without leaving a scar?

-I'm going.
-You are leaving?

See you tomorrow.

Detective Kang.

Cheer up!

You always win at the end, Ms. Terminator.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

Do your job properly!

Why is he nagging us
so early in the morning?

This is really weird.

How do none of the 19 people
have any traces of surgery?

Wasn't it 20 people?

Didn't I tell you yesterday?

One of them died of a heart attack.

Sorry?

YU-NA LEE

Is there something?

She had an autopsy in Hankook University.

Yu-na Lee

I was surprised.

I didn't know her corpse would be here.

Gosh.

What a coincidence.

Did you find any removed organ
during the autopsy?

Not at all.

She had no surgery after all.

I'm telling you that I'm right.

There's no other way
besides psychic surgery.

-I'm here.
-Hi!

Her blood test result
will come out tomorrow.

But I got the result
regarding her ovarian cyst.

It came out negative,
she doesn't have a tumor either.

This is strange.

There's no way
it could become swollen without a reason.

We need to wait for
her drug test result then.

Aren't you tired?

Gosh.

It seems that you're clueless, right?

Me too.

Both our teams are feeling
clueless right now.

You'll find out the answer
sooner or later with the autopsy.

But for us, it'd be harder.

Take a good look at my face.

You'll never know when I'm discharged.

No injured lungs.

She had swollen abdominal...

No ovarian cyst.

Abrasion, Ascites and Cough

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS AND COUGH.

Can you hear me?

Yu-na Lee.

Could you share with me
what happened to you?

Please?

Right.

You can't tell me.

Right?

Sang-mi Kim!

What? Really?

Yes.

She died because of pulmonary edema.

She had problem breathing
and coughing like you.

I'm not sure how much Hoon Kang
payed you for trading.

But that's not the problem anymore.

Your life is in danger.

-Dr. Han.
-Soo-yeon!

Yes.

-You should take care of yourself.
-Right.

I heard about it.
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.

You did well.

Should I tell you something better?

I was able to find an egg donor.

-Really?
-Yes.

Congratulations! That's great!

But Dr. han...

It's not possible to find
about the donor, right?

Right.

If that person is not someone you know,

then you can't know by law.

I'm just very grateful,
but I can't show my gratitude.

I heard that it's very hard
to donate your eggs.

It is. It's difficult and painful.

You need to take hormones
and wait for your menstruation.

Then, you can extract your...

Thank you Soo-yeon! Thank you!

Don't feel too burdened.

And I have your bank account here.

You'll get your money soon.

Now what?

Don't be so rude.

This is the end of your business.

Cough badly.

Seong-do.

Yu-na's corpse is still here, right?

Right, we haven't finished
with the tests yet.

Got it.

See you later.

Okay, found it.

What did you find?

What?

I can't tell you so easily.

It seems that she didn't have a virus.

We already knew

that it wasn't septicemia.

As I told you before,

she doesn't have an ovarian cyst nor
tumor.

More importantly, she has no sign

of an organ infection.

-Is that right?
-Yes.

What's going on?

We're back to square one, then.

This is today's highlight.

As you can see,
she has a high hormone level.

It's really high.

And we found something in her blood.

But we couldn't exactly trace it down
due to the body decomposition.

It doesn't matter.

It's obvious.

It's gonadotropins.

Gonadotropins?
Isn't that what I think it is?

You're right. It is.

Hormones to induce ovulation.

Based on her swollen ovaries,
we can tell she was injected a lot.

A really large quantity.

That's why her hormone level is so high.

Which means that in a few days,

her egg was to be harvested.

Then there should be

traces of injection on her arms
or buttocks, but there were none.

That's right. I also couldn't find any.

But...

it was hiding.

In her abrasion.

That's why we couldn't see it.

Right. That makes sense.

She injected too much hormone
to induce a superovulation.

That's why her ovaries swelled like that.

Because of the superovulation induction,

her ovary swelled.

And her lungs and chest
were filled with fluid.

Because of her heart failure,

she had nausea and vomited.

That's what you call
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

That's why she died of ARDS.

She had acute respiratory
distress syndrome,

and got pulmonary edema.

And that's how she died.

Her fan had absolutely
nothing to do with her death.

Seong-do.

But how did you know, Dr. Han?

Oh.

It was thanks to her calendar.

Her calendar showed her menstrual cycle,

and her treatment for ovulation induction.

This treatment takes place on the first
second and third day of the cycle.

That date was clearly marked.

Gosh. These are the times
he looks so normal.

I guess he really is a genius.

Do I look useless to you most of the time?

It must have been very tough for her.

Instead of organs,
I think eggs were being donated illegally.

Yes, you're right.

She didn't have a scar
because she extracted her egg.

Look, Detective Kang called just on time.

Hello? Yes.

Just wait a bit more.

I'll come with an amazing gift.

Bye!

Detective Kang.

We're about to investigate
the obstetrician involved.

We'll find out soon.

There's something you must know.

I'm the one who found the answer.

I only won by a nose, got it?

Does that really matter?

Of course.
Because I'm the center of the world.

I have something to ask you.

What?

We found out that besides donating eggs,

there was a woman
who was pregnant as a surrogate.

So?

Does that mean,

She just had intercourse with a man,

and had the baby?

Oh, that?

Of course not!

This is not the medieval times.

Let me explain. A fertilized egg is

put inside the uterus
of a surrogate mother.

She doesn't actually need to
sleep with a man.

Oh.

I see.

It's good to be curious about sex.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

If you have a question
about sex or your body,

you can come and ask me anytime.

It's okay.

Gosh. Are you embarrassed?

Yes, sir?

I'm on my way.

It's peppermint tea.

Drink it slowly.

And relax.

Relax.

Dr. Young-chul Heo.

You're arrested
for illegal medical practice.

Arrest him.

Wait.

Let go of me.

How savage.

Right.

After looking at the crime scene,

it's certain that he was running
an illegal egg donation business.

This is the sharp opinion of Jin-woo Han

from Hankook University
Medical Examiner Office.

We got the record profile
of the donors, their testimony's,

and even the books.

It seems that you purchased
a large amount of gonadotropins,

unlike other obstetricians.

You should just confess now.

Of what?

Let's say that

I did extract their eggs.

Was I doing

something bad?

Did somebody

got hurt?

Yu-na Lee died, didn't she?

She shouldn't have, though.

How could I've known what she had

while I was treating her?

That's fine.

But, do you think a woman's body
is a bending machine or something?

It's not like you can insert a coin
and get what you want.

Dr. Han.

Do you know how many
infertile couples are in Korea?

Can you imagine what kind of pain

they're going through?

I think it's my calling to

give them joy.

Hey.

Do you run a pyramid scheme?

You're a very smooth talker.

You can say what you want about me.

But I think I did the right thing.

There are people who might not think so,

but an egg is alive, too.

The moment you buy and sell a person,

it's when the world goes to ruin.

It depends on how you look at it.

"Depends on how you look at it."

"I guess it's possible."

Out of all the phrases,
these are the most cowardly ones

that evade the point.

Also, why did you inject her
so much hormone?

Didn't you know
that Yu-na Lee was not feeling well?

That was what Yu-na Lee requested.

Doctor.

Yes?

Please...

Try to get as many eggs as you can.

You should take it easy for your future.

I need the money.

So, just inject enough without
putting my life at risk.

Okay. Lay down.

Try to relax as much as possible.

Relax.

We'll begin now.

I just did what the donor asked me to.

A doctor should respect
the patient's opinion.

Your respect could kill many people.

There are many good doctors,

but there are
also slippery mudfish like you.

No way.

This person can't be a mudfish.

What makes a mudfish slippery
is substance called mucin,

which is made with a protein
that makes water better.

That's why he can't be a mudfish.

This person

is just human trash.

You're amazing, Detective Kang.

Why?

Even if you're in a tough situation,

you never say things like,
"I'm tired. I feel like dying."

Not once.

That's how I am.

You also talk very dryly.

Who will like you if you act like that?

Even if someone is a bit tough,

they should try to be a bit soft, too.

Am I ice cream or something?

Ice cream?

That way, you can meet a good guy,

and fall in love, have babies
and live happily.

I've no interest.

You've never been in love, right?

I don't care

and don't need it.

Gosh.

People who don't marry after their 30s

have higher chance to get a mental illness
than those who are married by 7.5 times.

You only have a few years left
from your 30.

It's none of your business if I like to
wear flowers on my hair or jump around.

Right.

I used to like a girl
who used to wear flowers on her hair.

I think her name was Yeo-il.

But she was very mental.

I need to write a report.
See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Wait.

You did a good job, Ms. Terminator.

Gosh. I'm exhausted.
